The Bobby Bones Show - Tues Post Show (06-20-23)

Episode Date: June 20, 2023

Bobby starts by revealing who won the dipping sauce draft last week. The first ever AI radio host hit the airwaves last week and Bobby talks about how he was approached for something similar when it comes to our show. Bobby gets into a discussion of why he thinks we need to embrace AI technology. We do a deep dive on the tragic story of the X-Ray.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.

Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, the Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfilled conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick & Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand.

Better version of Play Stupid Games win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. But hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Saturday, May 2nd, country stars will be in Austin, Texas. At our 2026 IHard Country Festival presented by Capital One. Tickets are on sale now. Get yours before they sell out at Ticketmaster.com. That's Ticketmaster.com. It's time for the Bobby Bones. Post show. Here's your host. Bobby Bones. I do typo a lot. You guys know that, right?

Yes. I can see sometimes, there's only one person that has access to my Instagram. 10 a.m. Local time. It's Morgan, number one. I can always tell when I mess something up. Because I'll go, I didn't write that. But it's usually something correct. Or it's a typo that's been fixed. I do. Even in my text, I don't even look. at them. I just write and send. So sometimes

it's just gibberish. I mean, sometimes I have to read them like four times and I'm like, I still don't understand it. Is it me not understanding it or do he do a type? Probably no punctuation, probably typos. I literally don't look at it before I push send. I write it out and boom, push send. Who does that? Who proof reads their texts?

I don't. Yeah, I don't either. You guys proofread your text? No. I think so, yeah. You do, probably. Well, yours are really long, Amy. That's Yeah. True. Okay, dipping sauce draft results. Come on. In first place, Amy.

Really? With ketchup, honey mustard, and salsa. 33% a big number. That's huge. In second place with 23% Eddie. Yeah, ranch. Ranch, mariner and terriaki. Third place, lunch box,

barbecue sauce, chick filet sauce, and hummus. I'm surprised the hummus kept him in there. That's pretty good lunch. And in fourth place, Morgan, Papa John's, Taco Bill hot sauce, sour cream. For the first time ever, I finished last. Wow. What you have?

Well, this is what I was told by some listeners. Everybody didn't have Waterburger. So I picked Waterburger based on what I knew. And that it's only in a certain select. And people are like, I don't care about Waterburger anything. So that probably got me. But you know what? I stood by what I loved.

Yeah, you said you were staying true to yourself, I think. I remember that. And if I go down, staying true to myself, I'm not happy I went down, but at least I was being true. You're a winner to yourself. I'm still a loser to myself, but I'd rather be a loser to myself being true than being a loser to myself being not true.

There you go. I lost with mustard. Yeah, you're the only one that really loves Keso and Waterburger spicy ketchup So I'm out of the next one Ramundo is in But those are the dipping sauce draft results And Amy, you are the big one or there

What do I get? Well, you get a point Oh, okay There you go I don't know That's pretty much it You get a high five Are we on?

Are we on video? Yeah, we are Oh, we're on The, and I saw a lot of this happening This is kind of inside baseball Like in the weeds But I think it's interesting the first ever AI radio host

at the airwaves in Oregon last week. How was he? And I made it as a girl. And I made a joke about... Sexist. Exactly. I swear you said he. That's weird how I heard he in that.

He said AI. I don't think I did, but... AI. Maybe I was thinking like his name is AI. What's up? AI. Ew. So the first AI radio host

hit the airwaves in Oregon. Its name is AI Ashley. It's based on a real host named Ashley Elzinga. It's not really replacing her. She's getting paid the same. The station says she's just sharing hosting duties with it so she can quote multitask like never before.

Here is the real Ashley making the announcement quickly followed by the AI version saying the exact same thing. Today I go from just Ashley to AI Ashley. So let's see how close the AI sounds to me. Today I go from just Ashley to AI Ashley. Let's see how close the AI sounds to me. Pretty similar. That's crazy. Yeah.

So I remember about a year ago they came to me and said, hey, if you'll just sit in a room and record all these sounds, we can do all your commercials, AI. Anything you say. And I did not do it. And I guess I just didn't do it because I didn't want them to feel like they could just make me do any commercial. Oh. And if I'm on life support, they're doing weed commercials and whiskey. Whatever.

Yeah. It's just all anarchy. But I didn't do it. And I don't hate it. And I'll read just more of the story than I'll kind of give you my story. they're not kind of giving my thoughts on it. AI Ashley is, again, based on the real host. They're at KBFF Live 95.5 FM.

Radio GPT went viral in March for a bot that can play songs, take calls and read the news. They claimed it wouldn't be stealing people's jobs. And the good news is for now, that's still the case. The bad news is being used to squeeze even more work, la, la, la. They're doing a hybrid situation where traditional Ashley will host some of the segments. Then AI Ashley, who sounds almost identical, will host others.

When AI Ashley is on, the real Ashley we're doing things like community outreach, managed social media, working, blah, blah. Job isn't in jeopardy, the question is. That's from entrepreneur. Again, I saw a lot of radio people talking about this. So here's the thing with technology. If you don't embrace it, you're going to get crushed by it,

period. It doesn't matter if it's this, if it's streaming music, V downloads, before that CDs, before that tape, before that records, before, you could just keep going. And it doesn't matter. The end, you can't fight technology. Electric cars, hybrids. gas, Fred Flintstone's feet.

Right, we had all these things if we walked backward. If you fight it, you're going to lose. You've got to figure out a way to embrace it. Now, just in our world, the bad guy has been voice tracking. Before AI, I was voice tracking. Where, and I did it when I was 19, 20, 21.

It's kind of how I got my first, how I was noticed first because I would be in Little Rock and I was voice tracking some of Austin at night. I never met Austin. I was voice tracking some stations in Austin at night, meaning they'd send me the log, and I'd just hit record,

and I'd be like, hey, everybody, kiss that film, we're gonna play this here, 50 Cend, the club, appreciate you got by the next. But also I could send it to like 10 stations at once at night. And so I was doing all these night stations. Went to Austin, was doing that from Austin even bigger

before I got an offer to go somewhere else and I ended up staying doing mornings, right? So forever this industry has been like, no more voice tracking, it's cutting jobs. Before that, it was syndication. what we do now, but it's much more elevated than that now, because obviously we're on, but now there's podcasts and digital, all that. Before that, it was syndication.

But you can go from syndication to voice tracking to AI, and it's just the same. It's just going to keep going. So again, you can fight it and yell at it, or you can find a way to make it advantageous that it works for you. Now, will it replace some people? Probably, just like voice tracking did. but what's great is and they're like oh oh she's doing other work though but what if that's how you keep

your job like you're good enough to be on the air and they can do that so you're good enough to have your AI and then you're also able to go and do social media maybe run a different radio station at the same time what if that's how you keep your job being able to do even more things it's not just radio where people have to put on six hats it's everywhere now and if you can't do multiple things then you're not going to really be allowed to do the one thing that you really care about. So I have no problem with it. And eventually, I'd say eventually,

part of me has already been suggested to be replaced by AI. And I didn't hate it. I just thought, I don't want to give them that power. It wasn't like, oh, they're taking jobs. If you can,

not just radio, it doesn't matter where you are, what business, we'll just use radio, but you can put this in sales, you can put this in whatever. Sorry, I've been sick,

so it's hard to talk. If you, can make more money for your company than they are paying you, you have some safety. Not always. You might touch somebody in a bad way, and they have to cut you. You might say something racist.

They have to cut you. But for the most part, if your value is more than they're paying you or there is a fair, then you're fine. And I tell people in radio all the time, if you just think you're going to be a DJ and keep a job, they got computers that can do that. Think about factory.

Like, think about assembly lines. You don't think people were pissed when old Ford came in with the old, here's what we're going to do. We're going to do the old, oh, these jobs are going. It's always going to happen. It's always happened, and it's going to keep happening in every way possible. It's up to you to figure out how to use it in the best way possible. Because you can't stop it.

And if you're whining about it, that's just wasted energy. One, it ain't going to help you. And two, people don't want to hear you whine. I'm not just talking about radio. I'm talking about in general. Now, it is the Wild West, and some rules will have to be made. made. Right. In radio, like, can I own my voice? Well, so what's going to happen is, my opinion, it's not just voices. It's going to be AI and even visual. The new Netflix, Joan is awful,

deals with this as well a little bit, where they'll be able to, and they did it with John Goodman and the righteous gemstones. They aided him a little bit to look younger because they did a scene back. Oh, wow. Yeah, Princess Leia too. Star Wars. So what it is, for the most part, what I think is going to happen is you'll have license to your image. Much like you can license your image out to sell it to a mustard company. I love mustard. You guys don't apparently.

Buy my butt. You need to vote for me. But let's say I wanted, I'm like, you know what? I will take that offer to be a spokesperson for a mustard company. You can put a picture of me on your mustard bottle. I got a license.

They got to pay me for that image. My belief is the same thing is going to happen with voices, visuals. They'll be able to make us moving to eventually. You know, like the deep. fake but even better. So, so this station's getting a lot of crap for doing this.

Why? It's going to happen with or without you. You can figure a way to use it for you and get on board, or you can just cry like everybody else and have to find a new line of work where they're probably going to find AI for that too, whatever that is. Would it just be the best if everybody

had a job and everybody's local? Yeah, of course. That would be the best. but that's not happening. So you can spend your effort whining about how it used to be and how it should be, or you can take your effort and try to figure it out how you can actually use it to your advantage. Very much soapbox, very much in the weeds, but that's a deal.

Any thoughts on that? They have AI mom yet? They do. It's called a nanny and it's real life. No, no, no, no. I mean, because I'm thinking of times where you're like, shoot, I know I read this in the book. how my response is supposed to be this and it'll be really impactful. I'm sure you could talk to it. Like, I just need to be, yeah, maybe hit it up.

Because it's like, sometimes I run in my room and I pull up a book, I read it, or I pull up like something, a podcast or something where I heard, and I listen to exactly what to do from parenting experts. And then I leave my room and I go back and I'm like, okay, I'm ready to talk now. What you could do too is what I think is going to happen, where just me guessing, but Apple's putting out there, Apple, goggles, glasses, VR. That expensive one?

It'll be $3,500 at first, but remember a VCR was $10,000 in the first two. The first VCR? Oh, it was very expensive, yeah, because there weren't a lot of people that had them. 10 grand for a VCR. I may have been exaggerating that. I'm sure Mike can find me the actual price, but think about it. And movies used to be like $100.

Even in the 80s, because you're buying a movie. The more they're out, the more they fix it, the cheaper it'll be just like anything else. They were like $2,000. It's max. So 10, but my point was they were very expensive. hold on i've been drinking so much water because my oh bourbon yeah i've been drinking for my voice is just dog spit so it's not coming so uh they'll code it but my point is amy a i mom what this leads me to

is we'll not have to go to work for the most part in the very very far future that's awesome if you don't want two years i i don't know the years oh man but you'll be you'll be able to put these goggles on let's say we all had the same the capability sound exactly the same that we sound now with our microphones in the same room. Technology allows it pretty good now. Sometimes I'll work from the house. Sometimes I'll be on the road. But imagine we all can still sound great,

but we all put the goggles on, and we were sitting in the same room with each other, all of our avatars. But we look exactly the same, just slightly cartoon. But everything's exactly the same. Why would you waste time and money getting there, buying gas,

the 20 minutes on the road, when you just put your goggles on, and be right here in the office with the microphones and do the exact same thing. I'm all about that. You wouldn't. Oh, man, so I could retire to my island but still work. But you'd have to pay for that island with some retirement that you don't have.

Yeah, but if we're still working, I could still be living there. So you're going to get a mortgage on an island. Yeah. Different than retiring on an island. But then that's working towards my retirement. I like where you're going. I don't really see it happening like that for you. Because you did a down payment on an island.

Well, I'd sell my car. How much do you think the car would get right now, honestly? $500 $500? Well, I think celebrity Like... You'd sign it? Yeah.

So I could get a little bit more Like we could do an auction. Yeah. Someone would buy it for $1,000. Okay. Not really a down payment for an island. But my point is virtual mom where I'm getting to.

Put your goggles on or they're on their goggles and you come in there. Let's say your son, Stevenson is playing a game. Virtual mom. It could be you. It could be virtual version of you. Walks in and says, hey, this is what we're going to do.

But, blah, blah, blah. So yeah, I think that's there. Looks like you. When they're in trouble, Amy, you're like, put your helmet on. I got to talk to you. Helmet. And then AI, Amy takes over. Or put your, put your, put your, put your helmet.

Then I like that. Put your helmet on. It's time for punishment from AI mom. There you go. And then AI mom shows up. And they're not mad at you. Yeah. It's hard to predict what hasn't happened yet because.

Or if they bond with AI mom more. They love AI mom more. Think of technology. In the past 100 years, it has moved so much faster than the past. 40,000 years. Like we're looking at, and if it continues to go at that rate, eventually we're going to kill the world. It's really going to be a dead world,

but we'll be long gone, so who cares? What's been your favorite? Internet. About what? Technology. Yeah. Internet. The phone's awesome.

Phone. Like the phone that has music, they able to connect. I have trouble in my real, I'm an awkward person. I have social, I won't say anxiety, but I guess my social anxiety is I don't want to bother people and I feel like I'm always out of place.

I found a microphone in order to be able to almost put on a superhero cape and disguise and although it is really me, I would never just show up in a room be like, here's all my opinions, everybody. That's just not who I am. It's the real version of me, but it's here where I do this, and that's how I feel good. And your question was, what was your question there? What's your favorite technology so far?

I have trouble connecting with. people in real life. And although it's not real life, the phone, the text, the DM, the internet allows me to have an introductory part of that, which makes it a lot easier in real life. So I would say that. When we're in the goggles coming to work. You know I don't know the answers to this. I'm just giving you my ideas because I don't people are like, oh, you know, I don't, I don't know, I don't know what I think. Go ahead. I know. I'm just like, well, do we get to pick out our outfit? Sure, it's your avatar. You've been the same thing. every day or you can change it? Do we have to pay for it in the...

Skins? I don't know if you have to buy skins. There'll probably be some... Metaverse. They'll probably be some that are free and there'll probably be some that you can earn. It's like video games. And there'll probably be something that you get to like your paid work, you're paid money from work and you can take part of it and buy a shirt. Okay. That's why, depending on you talk to, some people are buying like the property in the

metaverse. Metaverse probably, yeah. Yeah. I think we're a bit away from that. I make to see what Apple does. Because what Apple does, we follow. at least so far in the past 25 years. So these goggles are going to be very interesting.

The introductory part of this was the VR that we had. We played golf and Oculus. And you go talk to people in other countries and go to this room and hang out and chill. I only visited jail. But you could do that. Lots of learning. And we only look at it as, oh, this is crazy.

It's psychotic. And you can have sex on those things. Really? I mean, I didn't. I always feel like I'm getting viruses, if that's the case. That's probably the safest, though. I'm telling you, not a big porn guy anyway. I haven't looked at porn in 10 years because I don't want to get a virus.

I don't even think about if I even want to look at porn because I don't want to get a virus. It ain't worth it to me. So, but yeah, you can. You can get little things and see it and do it and do the thing while you're doing the thing. So it's all going to be there. That's what's going to happen. There's a version of that we're already doing when we work and let's say, say I'm on FaceTime.

Yeah. And I'm in a different country like I was for a month. Right? Like that's not really me, but that's me on a camera and going, boop, zoop. Bizarre though. It's cool and it's scary. And if you don't embrace it, it will run you over.

And you'll be old man yelling at the clouds. I wonder what you do about because they say like human interaction is so important. I believe it's overrated. Hey, what's that trophy you have in there, Scrobusy? Is that an NBA trophy? What the heck is that? It looks like the NBA. Oh, it's a globe.

The globe. Oh, do you guys see where I think it looks like a... Yeah. Got it. Hey, what was your question? Oh, just human interaction and like, you know, at least they say that it's important for us to have that. Yeah, I'm sure we have to prioritize it more than to... But it's like if you think you're mentally, if you think you're, you've just been in a room with all your friends and like we're all talking, then does your brain get that same?

Probably not exactly. Like, it's like hugging, but it's also probably like nutrients. Like we eat a lot of processed food and our body needs. Yeah, I'm just saying if you see yourself hug in the, if we hug in the goggles, our brain doesn't. Probably not. Okay. Probably not the same. Probably a little bit.

No, it's that visualization stuff. Like it's like, hey, can we stop this from taking over? Yeah, go ahead and hit it. No, no, no. I mean like, can we as a society be like, hey, we're not, like, we, say we all don't want to do this VR stuff, right? Like say 90% of the world says no, but all the rich business owners are like, like, we're like, like, we don't, like, no, this is going to save us billions of dollars. Like, this is what we're going to do.

How can we stop that? Like, if the majority says, ah, we don't want to do it, you can kind of stop technology from taking over, right? But we all have to be on it. My answer would be that if you have major corporations saying we're going to do it, you're always going to have people that want to have a great job working for a major

corporation to provide for their families. Correct. Efficiency, which is how they get us. But also, Eddie, you're acting like this is all bad thing. This is all a bad thing. Whenever it's been done to us for 100 years and some of the things it's been done to us,

you enjoy being on the cell phone. Oh, look at all the rays, all the lasers in the air, how all the chem. But you're on your, you have to take a digital detox, but you don't even really do. There's definitely, you know, like advantages. No, no. Technology allows us to connect like never before. Correct. Medicine.

But that's where we are because we've accepted that. Though we could have communicated. Right. So you just want to die at 22, like old caveman. And how do we push back against all technology? But where do we stop, though? Until we kill ourselves. There's almost like a top tier group of smart people we trust that don't always make the right decisions.

But they do. It's definitely not us. We listen to the smart tier that make those decisions and allow things to get to us. But we want them to make the decisions for us? But they're educated in their fields. Again, they're not the ones that are always right. But they are the ones that have studied and would know the most. You can look at medicine and you can see all the mistakes that they've made. Heck, when the x-ray was invented, the dude's wife died who invented the x-ray

because she kept having to dawn on her. He didn't know what to do. He killed her. That's messed up. Seriously? Yeah, I believe so. Mike, you may want to Google that whole story. I mean, that's sort of like the guy that invented the Segway, died on the Segway.

He flipped over the Segway and fell down a cliff, I believe. I have the bits up, Mike. I don't know if it's the same screen or not. It could be. But I'll have up the bits. The X-ray guy, I think he killed his wife. Not on purpose. But they had to test the x-ray and he figured it out and he did it.

But imagine if there were some mistakes made, but for there to be correct things that we all now use every day to make sure that we're healthy and live longer. But we have to trust people that have been educated in their fields supremely to make the right decisions. It's like the FDA, the FAA, it's airplanes, it's all these. And they do mess up. And there are wrong things that happen. but we have to trust and make the right decision most of the time. Yeah.

Or we replace them, but we never know. And is it the Illuminati? I don't talk about Illuminati. That's crazy, dude. A group of top AI researchers, engineers, and CEOs have issued a new warning about the existential... Oh, it says May 30th. Well, I don't know. Maybe they just talked about it.

But yeah, the 22 word, they shortened it, like a statement, like saying basically AI should be a global priority. But it's not, and here's why, and I heard, I listened, and I watched a lot of this, listen to a podcast on it. So what's happened is they've said, hey, it's going too fast, it's going to get out of control, and we're going to really screw up. The problem is we're not, no one's really going to stop. We can say we're stopping, but if we stop, imagine the AI war planes that Russia or China or whomever our adversaries are in 20 years and 40 years,

and what they're going to have if we stop, because everybody's not going to stop. It just feels weird to just keep going to. because everyone's moving, even though we know it's probably not good for us. Same conversation was out about the internet, though. Yeah. Because it was scary and it was unknown. And there's a dark web. There was a lot of bad stuff to it.

But the internet has also made the world, I feel generally, a better place, 6535. For business. No, for connection. People, yeah. For social media. And yeah, there are bad parts to it, but without social media, I don't know that, because my wife and I met in person through a friend, but how do you, think I would message her at first?

No, I didn't know her number. It was on Instagram. It's crazy. You could have gotten it. But I didn't. And I wasn't, the thought wasn't even, hey, I want to get her number, but I'm scared to do so. Because you depend on the internet. No, no, no, it wasn't even that because we didn't talk forever after I met her.

We talked for months. And so I was going back out there and it was like, let me see if I can find her. Found her on social media. Message to her. So I'm coming back out to L.A. to do this thing. Are you going to? And that was it. but there's a lot of great the social media that comes from it.

But there's also a lot of bad. But I do feel like it's more valuable than not. Even before all the ways to connect with the internet, I remember my brother saying he always felt kind of like a loner in high school. Like he was very different and he's very, like, really good at computers and very smart. And he just didn't feel like he related to a lot of people or anybody thought like him. And then he's like, when the internet came around and I was able to chat with people, I was like, oh, he's like, there's other people in the world that are like me.

He's like, and I felt less alone. Yeah, I wonder how these people find each other like furbies, like before the internet? How do they find it? Not furbies, furbies are the things you buy at the store. Furies are people who have sex and animal costumes. Okay. Like, how before the internet did they find each other? And like, it's just so interested to me.

Magazines. But again, the phone was the internet before the internet was the internet. You could just call people and talk. Okay. The guy who invented the x-ray did kill his wife. His name, the discovery of the technology was created by scientist Wilhelm Con. Ronrad Rongen with X-ray machines. I worked in Germany 1895

and by testing it on his wife because that was his person. She ended up dying from it. That's crazy, man. But again, he wasn't doing it to kill her. Of course not. He was doing it, and she wasn't doing it thinking it was going to be bad.

He discovered x-rays in 1895 accidentally while testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass. His cathode tube was discovered in heavy black paper, so he was surprised when an incandescent green light nevertheless escaped and projected onto a nearby screen. Through experimentation, he

found that the mysterious light would pass through most substances but leave shadows of solid objects. Because he did not know what the rays were, he called them X, meaning unknown, which we just assigned to it. So it's an X-ray. He then found out that X-rays would pass their human tissue, rendering the bones and tissue beneath visible.

News of his discovery spread worldwide, and within a year, doctors in Europe, in the United States, We're issuing x-rays to locate gunshots, bone fractures, kidney stones, swallowed objects. That's pretty, I didn't know that. The X thing was that, like they didn't have a name for it. He didn't know what it was. I feel like it should be named after the wife because she sacrificed her life for us. Totally.

Yeah, I'm trying to find more about that. Maybe her name was Ray. Oh, that's good call. Hilarious. Probably not. Okay, here we go. Wife, Anna Bertha Ludwig was the first person to experience x-ray in her body in December 22nd, 18. 95. Scientific literature does not usually pay much attention to her who offered her left hand

to make the x-ray in which one can see the metacarpals and bones on the hand, including a ring. She was born and she died after 47 years of marriage. She, let me find, she go for, let me know if you see the part about the way he put in his house. Anna had great affection for her husband and that he needed space, but pregnant. I don't think I'd bother. I might have made this part up, but I don't think I did. I usually don't make that stuff up. She had delicate health and suffered from nephritic cramps. She died almost radiation.

Radiation got her. It's radiation. So even if it wasn't just the x-ray, obviously when they walk out of the room, it's not because that one x-ray is going to affect them, but it's over and over again. And that's what she got. And she ended up dying from radiation.

I mean, when you get one, you have to put on like a... She did live a long-ish life. But when she died, and then he died two of the... bowel cancer, which they think was because of the radiation as well. So what was her name? Her name was.

Big Bertha. Anna Bertha Ludwig. There should be more Bertha. I like. I used to think the birth name was hilarious. And the driver, Big Bertha would come out. Calloway. Bertha.

You know, Bernie's pretty cool. I feel like doctors need to start saying, hey, we need to go get a, you need to get an Anna Bertha done. Well, she didn't create the Ray. Yeah, but it's in honor. You need to go and do the Bertha, which is sit in there and have it done to you. Get in the Bertha chair. I think that would be it more than have a little.

The birthday chair. Yeah. Do the birthday. Okay. Enough about that. There's a couple more things. A lawyer who specialized in helping big lottery winners protect their money was just sentenced to 13 years in prison for fraud. He stole $100 million for his client's winnings and lost more than $40 million in a Ponzi scheme.

I wonder why I can't trust people. See. Gosh. A woman who woke up in a coffin at a wake. She woke up breathing. They were like, oh God, but then she died again. Oh. Oh.

What a roller coaster ride. Exactly. Man. Gosh. A naval museum in California had to be evacuated last Wednesday after someone accidentally donated a live grenade. I like to turn this in for donation. Okay, what is? Ah! Lady! Golly. No injuries were reported. Oh my God.

A Tampa woman left her mansion and her inheritance to seven cats. Why do people waste their wealth? So are the cats just going to live there? Mm-hmm. And someone's going to take care of them. Feed them. Love a great life until they die. Wow. That's awesome. That's crazy. Four thousand foot home in South Tampa. the house is worth about three million bucks. It's substantial enough to cover the cats.

Food and medical and grooming bills forever. They're young. They're only five years old. Wow. They could live in their 15, 20 years. Person spends $40,000 to put into their bank account by mistake and is now in trouble. How do you spend $40,000? Person spends $40,000 put into their bank account by mistake.

Oh, got it. They spent, there's no comma. That's what you got me. You check your bank balance, $40,000. What do you do? Spend it. No, that's not true. Not if it's not yours.

Figure out why it's there. Ask for the money. What do you tell them, much about? Money gone. Sorry. Time for prison. Sorry. Hey, what you do, you withdraw it and then close your bank,

and then close your bank, can't get you. Change your name, change your identity, move to another country, leave your family. Hey, money gone, sorry. You move banks, they can't get you. That's not true. You give up your life. They know who did it.

I know. Yes, they do. Okay, the person who was supposed to get their money, they didn't get it, and the bank went to go and say, like, oh, where is it? And they found that the account they'd actually put it in only had $5,000 left in it.

Police say it's a civil matter, but the account was $35,000 overdrawn the bank. And so it's all on. Like, you can't take the, you can't do that. They'll lose. Six foot python and bathroom. Ah!

What? What's wrong? He spots it while on the toilet. Oh, stop. He looked up from some of the toilet and saw a six foot long, 22-pound snake slathering above in the shower. Probably came out of the toilet.

Oh, my God. It was on a curtain rod. That's one of my, that's definitely my new. That's a fear. That's his long fear. No, no, no, I'm talking about specifically in the toilet. That's, he's everywhere. Anywhere.

But can you imagine you sitting down to take a dump? And then what, though? That's why you can never do in the door. And then bite. Oh, it bites you like your testicles? Well, sure, or the butt. But I mean, I think you would look in the toilet, though, before you sit down. No, no, no, but what if it's in the tube and it just comes out of the pipe?

I hear you. That makes me want to get in and get out, but I don't. I stay in. Yeah. For a long time. How long? 30, 35 minutes. That's pretty good.

It's not about 40 minutes. Okay, let me see. I have anything else I want to do because I have an interview have to do it in like two hours. I'm already losing my voice. I don't know for you. Yes. There's a new Bobby cast up today with Morgan Evans. First time we've really talked to Morgan. Anybody? Long form. Wow, that's cool.

He's been on the show since the divorce, but like sitting down. He's done like some tour press, but it's like quick phone stuff. We sat for an hour and talked about all the stuff you think we talk about. I'm good friends with Morgan, so it's awesome and hard. he went through it I mean he went through it in a bad bad way and so

and I just felt so I felt so bad for him you know Morgan from Kiss somebody and this is over for you so if you remember correctly I just saw somebody posted on TikTok and played like the raw version

to somebody's phone and so he talked about how he felt the first time first of all just after he performed that song because it was kind of a last minute deal for him to figure out. It was such a real human moment for me on stage and I think as someone that's kind of always kind of been more private, that moment felt like a freeing kind of moment. And I didn't realize it at the time until maybe after the show that like there was a weight

lifted off my shoulders because I was like, oh cool, I just was able to say that, do that. It was amazing show too. It was amazing feeling the crowd was insane and went to bed going, cool. I think we did the big show in my career and I feel really happy about it. And then, it's all the song. is viral and my deal was I felt bad and I never said this to him because in reality I know it wasn't me because my ego's into play here but I think had I not taken that song I started slam it on the radio and not gotten a copy of it from their board in the concert because that wasn't I just got it and started playing it I just don't think it would have possibly it wouldn't have been as big of an

issue and so I never asked him this in person and we hang out we were together last week but I asked Hey, are you mad at me for playing done on the radio? You know, here. As rough a time that was and as hard of a time that that song came out of, the way that I've related to people and connected with people through that song in the last six, seven months has been an extremely positive experience. And I noticed as soon as that happened when you guys played the song

and people started to find out about it, I think my first reaction was, God, I wish I played that in the right key. We talk about it, you can go listen to it, we talk about a lot of stuff there. I won't play clips of here, but he is a good dude. It's a plus dude for sure.

And Morgan Evans on this week's Bobbycast. Go search for the Bobbycast wherever you listen to your podcasts. And that is it. Again, tickets to my comedically inspirational show. Go on sell Friday. I did put a link up to the B-Team sign-up list, which I don't really send much out a few times a year. I don't sell your information.

Usually I only send ticket links or things that we're doing. And I just want to say I don't sell your information. So it's up on Twitter page at Mr. Bobby Bones. If you want to know the pre-sell link, it'll come out tomorrow, and I'll send it in an email to everybody who is on the list. So other than that, I think we're good. Anything else? Everybody good?

Amy, sorry about your voice? I mean, thank you. I'm sorry about your cough. That's okay. I mean, I have the cough, too, but your voice. I was thinking about it on a festival in Hale or Paluza. It'd be so fun. Oh, man.

See you can hear me to take this hit. Oh, yeah. Aren't you supposed to stick it in your mouth? I don't have an inhaler, but I always thought I see... Here, man. You do. Different inhalers do different things. What do you have an inhaler for?

This doctor told me that this, or my doctor, said that this medicine here, if you put it in your mouth, because it is... There's, like, medicine in it. Like, I don't know what the medicine is. But it gets stuck on the roof of your mouth. It doesn't go into your throat if you put it in your mouth. Or if you breathe it in, it actually, you breathe it into your... Interesting. Because your mouth is wet.

Eddie, I don't know, bro. Hey, one last thing real quick. Ray, you saw an advertisement on Twitter and you want to know if it's fake or not. Was that an airplane thing? Yeah. So it said that you can get a private jet for $14,500.

And so I wanted to know from you. But what do you mean? Well, you have country music stars. You know they fly private jets. I mean, you've probably flown some private jets. I appreciate you protecting me here. Yes, I do fly private a lot. Go ahead.

Is that an accurate price or was that fake news? I don't understand. what the deal said. Like you can buy the whole plane? No. So you, me and like some of our boys, could we fly to Vegas for $14,000? No. Zero percent. Really? Not from here to Vegas. Especially if there's a difference in a jet and like a, we'll call it a prop plane. King Air maybe. Yeah, like a king, where that has the propellers, which some of them are really nice. And I mean, I'll just be honest with you guys. I used to use Luke Brian's a lot. And so that's what he had. And so I would go fly to shows around.

And they're actually cool too, but a jet is a whole different monster. They go faster. They don't have the propellers on them. And if you wanted to go to Vegas on a jet, it's probably going to be like three and a half hour flight. It's probably going to cost you about, depending on the jet, we'll just say a small jet, $7,500 an hour. Oh! Yeah.

Dang, Ray, cancel our weekend plans. You're probably looking at 20 to Vegas. All right. But then if we make that money back in Vegas. I mean, you could do six and then fly there and back. You'd probably fly there and back. There and back, $33,000 or $34,000. God, I need to get that low.

What's the ad for a one-way trip or both? One-way flights as low as $14.5. I'm looking at the ad. Well, yeah, you could fly from here to Knoxville. Yeah, yeah. And you could pay 5 grand. That's it?

That's a lot of money to fly for a three hour drive. And you put 20 buddies on it? You can't put 20 buddies on it. You can put... It doesn't fit 20 people. On a jet, 7, 8, possibly 9, if you want to put one on the bathroom.

Seat. Does you guys sit in the bathroom the whole time? You can get up while it's up, but it's almost like a boat where there's got to be life jackets. Yeah. For the amount of people on there, there has to be seatbelt and seats.

Now, these planes, that are on Succession, Matt, I ain't ever been to one of those where they have room for, ah, I take that back. Disney flew me on one from a couple times, especially from after I won the show over to Good Morning America. Big one? Real big, but still not that big, but it had different sections with couches and it probably fit 13, and it was big. Wow, because I'm saying if it's 5,000 and we get nine people, it's only 555 each. But you're going to Knoxville, bro. Yeah, and then you got to get, but then the plane's got to get back. Right, but if you're taking it, I mean...

But you're not going to leave the plane. You can't leave the plane there. The plane's got to get back to its home. So you've got to pay, probably not the exact amount, but you've got to pay for it to get back as well, even if you're not on it. What? So you can't just one weigh it and then get your own route home?

But what's the plane going to do? How are you responsible for the plane getting it back to its destination? When I fly to Atlanta on Southwest, it doesn't make me pay for going to get back. But they already have plans coming back. Just saying. Which is probably how this company is able to do it for that cheap. Maybe they book someone coming from Knoxville to Nashville

or Nashville to somewhere. else so they kind of book it that way. And I've also seen where he like, oh, it just depends. I'm sure there are a lot of parts on this. Maybe they have to get the plane back and there's no one to get on it. But if you charter a plane, Ray, if you call, and here's how the chartering system works. Let's say Eddie has a jet. Yes, I do. And he

doesn't, but let's say he does. I like this game. And Eddie uses the jet quite frequently. I go fishing, fishing. Quite frequently. But he knows he's not going to use it this whole week. He will then, the company that usually takes care of his jet and uses it, they will go, hey, it's allowed to be rented because you want to keep, kind of keep it up in the

air and keep it moving. And so I can go and charter Eddie's Jet. I got to pay for gas, got to pay the pilot, it's got to pay the fee for the Jet. It's there for you guys, though. So you take it, and let's say I take Eddie's Jet and I fly Eddie's Jet to let's go to Iowa. Now, I can't just leave Eddie's jet because somebody's got to pay for it to get back. So either I take it there and then come back with it, or if I'm just going to stay in Iowa, I got to pay a slightly lesser fee, usually, to get the jet back to its home, which is Eddie's hangar. But what if you're going to stay there in Iowa for three days? Will the jet stay there and wait for you? It will, but you've got to pay the pilots each day that they stay.

Oh, not very much, right? $1,000 a day usually. Excuse me? If you have two. You can pay $1,000 a day to sit and do nothing? Well, yeah, hold on. I'll do that. It's the jet.

Well, you've got to go be a pilot. It's the jet. It's the pilots on call the whole time, because you want to go home. It's, you got to pay their rate anyway. They're away from their family. Like, was Ben ever your pilot? Yes. We almost crashed one time,

except it was awesome, but he saved us. And we probably didn't almost crash because I just felt, Eddie and I were flying to, I never actually talked about this openly, but Eddie and I were, because I always felt so dushy. And if you ever see people post pictures

in private plane, you know they don't fly in private planes at often. I really only do it for work. And you'll never see me pose a picture. I literally don't think I've ever posted a picture from a private plane in my history of my life because I don't think people need to know

because I don't need to, like, brag. Especially when people, like, go and purposely stand in front of one. I'm always like that. That's cringe. But I get it, unless it's first time, it's cool. Anyway, moving off that. Eddie and I were flying down to the Gulf Coast

to do a show at a casino in Mississippi. And your reverse husband was flying us. Ben. He's the pilot I trust more than anybody. Like, let's go. Let's do some dog fighting while we're up there. Like, that's how much I trust him. So we were up, and we hit some turbulence.

It was the hardest turbulence I think I've ever hit. Was he a fighter pilot, Amy? No. What kind of pilot was he? You should not say anything else. Okay. No, I mean. He's a very skilled pilot.

Well, I felt like I was in the war. Yeah. We hit some turbulence and the whole plane. You know how you get jumped on a trampoline? Somebody jumps and it bounces you a higher war? Yeah, like it crack the egg. Or they do the opposite where they like try to reverse jump you or whatever it's called. It's like, oh.

And it felt like we had been jumped. But boom! And the plane hit some crazy turbulence. And it wasn't even that skis. scared because I knew he was up there flying and he looked back and he goes thumbs up. Oh, he's having a blast. And I was like, we're good, baby. Let's go.

So I forgot that. I couldn't remember because it wasn't, that was when you were, he wasn't, so I didn't know if you ever flew with him because he was flying looks and I didn't know. Yeah, many, actually a bunch of times. Really? Yeah. I would ask for him. And if he could, we would.

And sometimes we could race this up there. People would get up beside him go, he doesn't take that crap lightly. So we'd race him in the air. Yeah. That actually never happened anyway for anybody listening. That never happened. You didn't revet? No, you can't.

But I'd always, but I'd always, we went to watch Arkansas in the College World Series once and Ben just went with us as a friend. It was me, I forget who else. It was Ben, it was Clay Travis, it was somebody, I was like, let's go. Ray, did you go on that trip with us?

Yep. Okay, but I would always ask Ben, like the questions about airplanes. What are we going to crash is, let's explain turbulence to me scientifically, but how I can understand it. Talk to me about how you're feeling. And I'm still scared to death of flying,

but he makes you feel pretty good about it because he knows everything and would study, he even studied the route I guess in case he had to like take over or something I don't know he's like well if I have to I can go up there and we can do we're fine and I'm like well how about you don't have to he wasn't flying that day but he still studied the route

yeah oh I'm not surprised make you miss him oh boy no but I mean that's what he was very I used to always think that way too I mean even when he was in the Air Force like he was studying all the time same plane like all the different he'd be going through different scenarios and buttons and I'm like you fly this plane all the time, you're good.

And he was like, no. In an emergency situation, you never know what could happen. In every situation is different, weather, different, can hit you patterns. You talked about that having to go around stuff. Yeah. So, Ray, I would say you could probably, but it's not as simple as that. Right. As to answer your question.

And it sounds like you got to have a membership. Definitely a thing too. Yeah. So you can do it, Ray? Well, I was singing for the birthday, but it's more than that article said. You could charter a plane. What do you want to go for your birthday? I mean, I was just randomly saying you can get a,

plane for 14,000. I got to get my buddies together, and we got to do this. It kind of depends how far you're going to. And Billy would probably do the lion's share. I could definitely pull it off. 14,000. You probably go less than three hours away. Chicago, man.

Go to Florida. Go to like Orlando. Billy would drop a K-9, and I didn't think twice. A K though. What's that going to spend? What's that going to get you? Well, I mean, this is what I'm saying. I just need about 10 other buddies that could all do that.

You can't fit 10 on a plane. Oh. Not even the bigger ones? That's going to cost you way more than $14,000. It's stupid. It's stupid. Philly's got to fork out a little more. It's stupid.

It's not worth it unless you got to. I only started doing it because we had to get places and back for work. And it's also a business expense a lot of times. Oh, business expense, you said. I'll write that down. What do you say? Do you know how business expenses work? Yeah, you write them off.

But do you know what that means? Yeah, you charge it. talk about it on the air. No, that's not charging it back. Charging it back would be just if you're expensing the company. If you're like going to write it off, that's different. Okay. As an expense. You can write it off, but not expense the company. Righting it off, you don't get all your money back. But a business expense, you get your money back. You can't expense the company for a plane. You should listen lunch instead of time. You cannot expect your company for a plane. Unless they say to you directly, we have to have you get to this place, get the

plane, charter it, and expense us back. Well, they do have me get places. Right. And it's great because they probably send you on Southwest like they do me. Yeah, sometimes I get on Spirit. But you pick that. I did. Usually when we go with the company, we fly Southwest and that's fine. Yeah, yeah. So wait, wait.

So what do you mean? It's a business expense. Tell me more. You could ride it off if it's a business expense. Now, you can't really write off anything from the radio show because you're not, but you're not really, you know you might, but you're not supposed to because we're not independent contractors. Hmm.

You're not. So you can expense things back to the company, but you really can't write things off here because you're not an independent contractor. Okay. What about if it's like a 1099 for like acting or something? That he could. But you got to set that up. Well, yeah, like what if I'm going down to Florida to practice my acting?

You got to prove that's the real reason you went down there if they do come and do any sort of, hey, show us your fight, you know. You can go to another state to practice your acting. If there's something there, for example. You're filming. I'm not talking about private. I'm talking anything. When I went to Hawaii to finish my book, second book, fail until you

don't. I flew southwest to Hawaii, but I could write that off because I literally went there by myself to write my book. And I did. I wrote it off. And when you write it off, you don't get money back. Usually what happens is it's about half and it's about, let's say that the haul of the flights down there and hotel is $3,000 all in. Whenever I have to pay my taxes the end of the year, because I always have to pay taxes at this point. And at $3,000, I write it off. It's about 1,500 I don't have to pay anymore because it's about half. That's pretty good. 1500 comes off the bill more than they pay me back for it.

So when someone's even like hating on somebody for doing something for tax reasons for a charity, it's the stupidest thing I ever heard because you're not getting all. Even if you're doing it just for that reason, one, you help people in two years, you're still out money that you're never getting back because you don't get 100% back. Usually it's half. All this stuff I've had to learn in the last five years. Yeah. And I could be, and I could be awful.

a little on some things, but I always am. All right, that's it. I don't suspect going on that trail. That's a good little lesson right there. But really, it's hard to write off specific stuff for this job. So what are you writing down, lunch? I'm just drawing little circles. Oh, okay.

It did look like you were taking notes. I like that. Yeah, little dots. Yeah, little dots. Like, oh, okay, that's a good point. It just helps me get from memory. Lunchbox, do you ever do any recording of anything at your house with like a, like, No, no. So we're losers.

No, I don't have. Sor losers are definitely different because you're not getting a regular paycheck. Right. Ding. Well, I'm just saying, like, I measured my, well, the space that I use in my house for podcasting and my guest bathroom. The square footage of that is written off because guests use the guest bathroom. And mostly over a period of years. Excuse me?

You can write off your bathroom? If you have guests coming over to. I got people come over all time. But here in the backyard. But that's if you're doing it for work. For example, I'll give you another thing. I wrote off 10% of my golf simulator. Because we do, I probably use it 10% of the time to shoot videos in front of the screens.

Like I use it as a work. That's a background. That's amazing. I didn't shoot, I didn't do 50 or 90 or anything stupid. And we probably do it more than 10%. But I don't want to be conservative about it. So if I go golf with Eddie, I can write that off. Golf is never an expense anymore.

That's not what Bobby said. That's changed like four or five years ago. Really? I can't even write off golf to have a business golf trip with a customer made from the company anymore. Golf is no longer an expense. That's messed up. Because I've asked that too. I always ask before I do it because I don't want to get in trouble.

Man, I am going to start looking at the square footage in my bathroom. But that's not what it is. You have to prove that people come to your house to use that bathroom because of something happening at work. Now, how do you prove that? If they come and do an audit, it's up to you to prove it. You got to have videos of people. Yes, you need at least seven videos pooping of different people. That's why they do it.

And I'm going to set up a microphone in my spare. bedroom to write that off. That's not exactly how it works, but good luck, buddy. I mean, Amy does it. Amy does a whole show from her house. That's a good point, though. If he needs to record anything, pick the biggest room you have in your house. But that's also not how it works.

You have to prove that that room is used. Mine's actually one of the smallest. Oh. That was a bad mistake on your part. No. No, because then she'd have a whole room that she has to dedicate exactly to her microphone that she can only work out of. Right.

I take people to the tiniest room. This is my living room because of the big living room, that's an office. Okay. We've gone way too long. That's pretty cool. Ray put us in a fun place and we kept going. Ray, do you feel good? Yeah, I'm thinking IHeart Vegas, baby.

We take a jet or are you going to do a spirit lunch? I'd like to take a jet, man. That'd be really cool. The whole show. I'd do it. Okay, eight of us at 40 grand. Does everybody want to pay $5,000? No.

No. Exactly. We're going to win it back. Night one. I've never won that. Why would I think I would do it this time? Well, you got to step up, man. Got to all those binges around.

May I remind you of the scratch off lottery experiment? Oh, my God. This is different. How is it different? Different odds. We're done, right? How long was this? 40.

Cool. All right, we're out. Thank you guys. Have a great day. Goodbye. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
