This is Saigon, the story of my family and of the country that shaped us. From My Heart Podcasts, Saigon. You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam?
Starting point is 00:02:44 One city, a divided country, and the war that tore America apart. This is for Vietnam. They're pouring patril all over here. Freedom for Vietnam! There's a fire coming to this country, and it's going to burn out everything. Listen to Saigon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's grab a couple calls here. Let's go to Jason in Colorado. Hey, Jason.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yes. You're on, buddy. What's going on? Nothing. I was just going to call in with the comment on the, I heard to talk this morning about the guy using the cattle prod, which is pretty rough. And then it reminded me I was going to call in and talk to, talk about Eddie using the push-ups as kind of punishment for his kids. We've been doing that for about two years, and it seems really beneficial. I was just going to say that oftentimes they're like acting out and fighting because they're, they got all this energy bubbling up out of them. The push-ups seem like a good way to kind of temper all that steam. And then they're a little tuckered out afterwards, and it really kind of resets the mood at the house and kind of built them up.
Starting point is 00:03:54 get them a little exercise in the process, and I don't know, it feels like it's kind of building them up, and that catapot thing sounds like it's tearing them down pretty bad. It also feels like you're building them up to beat you up. Yeah, you're slowly raising them to take over. It's like programming the robot. Yeah, like eventually they're going to take you over. I got a question for Jason, though.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Jason, you, like, how many do you do, though? Because the other day I got really mad, and I was like, you're doing 50, and they were there for like an hour. usually it's tens and 20s and 20s and 20 seems like it's kind of kind of at the upper end of it and rarely do we have to go back
Starting point is 00:04:32 and do like another set of them sometimes that's my son he'll like keep it going he'll do one more set and then he really doesn't go back for number three he learns and it like it tucker's him out a little bit they're a little winded after the push-ups
Starting point is 00:04:44 and kind of just like tones it down at the house that's funny that you set him up to do 50 I didn't even think about it No one can leave until they do 50. Right. And I said it and I'm like, man, I couldn't even do 50. I don't think.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah. Not that quick. Jason, appreciate that call me. I hope you have a good day. Well, you too. Thank you. All right. See you later.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Let's go to Danny in North Carolina. Danny, you're on the show. Hey, Bobby. This is Danny. Hey, man. I'm a garden, North Carolina. How you doing? Doing pretty good.
Starting point is 00:05:09 What can I do for you? Great. So my daughter, Lila, and I were really just wondering, what are the top 10 cities mentioned in country songs? We thought that would be a great thing for y'all to figure out. Well, let's just talk about it. Nashville, obviously. It has to be, right?
Starting point is 00:05:33 It has to be number one, just because most artists either live here or have lived here at one point. So I think Nashville's probably number one. Outside of that, there are very famous songs, but I don't know if Amarillo gets mentioned other than in Amarillo by morning. Or maybe like, I think Al-Deen has a song. Amarillo? Yeah, like Amarillo. Oh, Amarillo Sky. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Oh, yeah. Austin. Austin, I thought. But you're talking about one song, really. Hotel Key. Yeah, Austin. So there's two. I bet Amy's back in Austin.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Amy's back in that's three. What song is that? Working at LaZona Rose of Cafe. Oh, yeah. I bet Amy's back in Austin. Oh, good. Okay, if it has three, I think it makes a list. That's good.
Starting point is 00:06:20 There's got to be more than that, too. Sure. Yeah. That's good. off. Let's see. Oh, San Antonio. I bet you Memphis is a lot. You're a lot of pain in Memphis. Like, I'm walking in Memphis.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Yeah. That's not really a country song. It's a jam though. I'm still going to fight for San Antonio. Can you see if Memphis is in many songs, like country songs that mention Memphis? Because I'm not married to being right about that one, but I feel like it's close in Nashville. Mm-hmm. I think Chris Tableton mentions it in that song Arkansas that he does. he got, I was just going, about to drive through Memphis,
Starting point is 00:06:55 he gets arrested in Arkansas. Okay, let's see what we got here. There are over 1,000 songs that mention Memphis. Wow. Yeah, but these aren't country songs. I don't know if that's true or not. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Maybe it was Memphis. Oh, yeah. That's Pam Tillis, right? Yeah, that's how I got to Memphis. Tomty Hall. Maybe it was Memphis. Pam Tillis, wrong side of Memphis,
Starting point is 00:07:18 Trisha Yearwood. Yeah. Big train from Memphis. John Fogarty. stuck inside of Mobile with Memphis Blues again, Bob Dylan. You know, there are three at least here. Put it on the list. Yeah, I think that makes the list.
Starting point is 00:07:34 And then the name is that's that's San Antonio. There's got to be, though, like songs talking about things that aren't country where it mentions New York City. Has to be. But I would think, I mean, are there's New Orleans songs? I was thinking Baton Rouge. Oh, New Orleans is good. Calling Baton Rouge.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Jim McGrath. I was heading down in New Orleans Mardi Gras A house in New Orleans But that's like the animals though, right? Yeah, I think so Like back Let's see
Starting point is 00:08:05 New York Johnny Cash has New York, New York That's just a cover, obviously Whiskey River mentions New York City Merrill Haggard has the other town New York State of Mine by Billy Joel But that is not one
Starting point is 00:08:23 Look at New Orleans There is a house New Orleans Can you fact check that See if that's the animals Because it may not be City of New Orleans Willie Nelson
Starting point is 00:08:37 Oh that's a jam Nancy Griffith Year Down in New Orleans Jordan Davis leaving New Orleans New Orleans Tim McGraw Louisiana man by Bobby Gentry mentions it
Starting point is 00:08:44 I'm walking to New Orleans I don't know that way I mean New Orleans probably makes it because there's like four or five that are fringe What about Cheyenne? All I can think is the Garth one.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Me too. It's a good place to start though, like find a very famous one and see if there are others. What about, you said New York, what about L.A.? Ooh, L.A.'s got to be one. I just get off of that L.A. freeway
Starting point is 00:09:10 without getting killed a cop. That's Jerry Jeff. I could tell, honestly, I don't know the song. No way. But I could tell about how you were singing it and how he sings. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:21 And also since Amy knew all the words like that, I figured it was somebody she knew personally or George Strait. What is another L.A.? There's got to be L.A. A lot of California. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, it's...
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah, there's a lot to mention it. Oh, what's that, Dwight Yolkin one? Bakersfield. A lot of Bakersfield. Got to be a lot of Bakersfield. Oh, there may be some Bakersfield, though, because that was like the secondary hub of country music. Hey, Danny, we appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Thanks for that call. Gave us something to talk about for a minute. All right. See you later. Top selling beer. There's a new number one. Oh, I think I got it. Are you just going by what you like or what you think it is? No, what I see more people order. Okay, what do you think it is?
Starting point is 00:10:07 Mickelope Ultra. What do you guys think it is? That's not a bad guess. Yeah. I feel like at some point it was either the Bud Light or Miller Light, but now people are just, they ordered a lot of Ultras. Do you like Mikolo Ultra? No, not really.
Starting point is 00:10:20 What is it about it? Less calories, they say. They marketed it less calories. Is it actually? I don't know because there's a Miller commercial that says it's not true. They do a whole commercial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mickelow Ultra has surpass Medello.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Oh, Modello. To become America's top-selling beer. Huh. This marks a significant milestone for Anheiser-Busch, the parent company of Miklobultra, which has capitalized on major sports partnerships to boost its brand visibility. That's from Anheuser-Busch. What's your favorite beer? I mean, Michael, Ultra is not bad, but I like Miller-Lite and Pacifico.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Is that a fancy beer? I don't know, is it? It's just a Mexican beer. It's not fancy? Nah, it's just whatever. I mean, it's definitely on the more expensive side of the aisle. But it's not like the IPAs or something like that. I feel like it's not a dark beer that, I don't know, that more like cool people drink.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Yeah, like craft beers? Yeah, craft there. I don't know. I don't really drink much beer. I'm just telling you what I liked back in the day. Your favorite beer, Eddie? Miller? Light. High life?
Starting point is 00:11:29 No, it doesn't. No, I thought that one. Why did you laugh at that? I don't know. That's like high school. It's cheap. Cheap. Oh, it is.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Got it. It's like Milwaukee's best. Bushlight. Those are real. I think they call it like the champagne of beers, but it's not true. If you drink beer out of a can, do they make nice beers in cans?
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah. Yeah. They do? Yeah, my beer knowledge is not very good. Ray is an ultra guy. Ray, Mickleub, Ultra? used to be coors and then I moved here and my wife introduced it to me
Starting point is 00:11:57 and yes it is my favorite beer. Why? 4% alcohol you can drink 10 not even feel anything and I believe one carb so it is the healthiest I would say pound for pound on the market. Question, why would you want to drink 10 and not feel anything? I would think if I were drinking beer I wanted to feel stuff. Yeah, maybe Ray
Starting point is 00:12:16 is trying not to feel things. No, no, Ray feels it. Ray has one drink and is drunk. I know, but maybe that's why this helps him last longer? Yeah, I like to last longer. That sounds funny. That just in general, yeah. Well, you know what I meant.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I have the, I have accidental inventions that changed the world, so these weren't really meant to be invented for what they were invented for. Speaking of last and longer. Oh, that's one of them. Viagra, number 10.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Yeah. In the early 90s, Pfizer scientists were testing a drug meant to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. The drug did not do much for the heart, but test subjects reportedly felt a very different side effect.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Can you imagine? Pfizer pivoted. Viagra became one of the most well-known of profitable drugs in history. They're like, can you get the doctor and hear something else is happening? It's been four hours. Maybe you should put that in a commercial.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's so hot in this room. I had to take my sweater off. Oh, I'm kind of shivering. Nope. We don't even have the ability to run our air anymore. They've taken that away from us? Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:17 They're taking all of our rights away. And so it sucks. And so I come in and I'm under bigger lights than you guys are also. And I have more computers in front of me and my legs. We're not arguing that. We're just saying like, we're... No, you guys are making points like, I'm shivering.
Starting point is 00:13:32 No, I'm burning my balls off. And you guys are over there all fancy free feeling good. And I can't even turn the air down. Feels pretty good in here. Yeah, to you. You got one little screen. I'm sitting behind a frigging force field of computers. And humongous lights.
Starting point is 00:13:49 All right, the microwave. In 1945, the engineer Percy Spencer was testing radar equipment when the chocolate bar in his pocket melted. Instead of freaking out, he experimented and invented the microwave. That's cool. That's weird. Something melts and you don't really know why. Also, could he have kids after that?
Starting point is 00:14:09 If it melted his pocket. Number eight, potato chips. A chef in New York was annoyed by a customer who kept sending back his fried potatoes for being too soggy. In frustration, he sliced them paper thin, fried them until crispy to show him, and boom, the potato chip was born.
Starting point is 00:14:28 That's awesome. There is this, I'm not a big sushi guy, and I'm not even sure if it's sushi, but there's a place that I will order from some, and it's a sushi place, and they have this thing called the Great White, and it's a piece of sushi type thing, and they put a really fresh potato chip on it.
Starting point is 00:14:48 A plus. Why do you say you're not sure if it's sushi, because it's from a sushi place, but I don't even know what's on it. I just like the potato chip. My wife's like, just order potato chips. So it's like a sushi roll with a chip on top? I can look. Or in it.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, we've got to look this up. Because like what makes it a sushi roll? Well, it's a sushi place. I don't know if this is a sushi roll. All I know is that's a potato chip I like. And so I order it because I like the potato chip. And I ate the thing with it. My wife's like, that's stupid.
Starting point is 00:15:15 You're spending all this money and all you wants the potato chip. So you don't like the- It's just one? It's just one potato chip? It's two. Two little things with one. with two little tiny potato chips. And you don't eat the actual...
Starting point is 00:15:24 No, I eat the thing. You just eat the potato chip. Just because it's there. Mike, what does it say on that? We read the description? I don't know what Escalar is. Oh. Truffle vinaigrette, potato chip, and black truffle shavings.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Escalar truffle vinaigrette. Escalar's got to be a kind of fish, huh? Do we know? I never heard of it. I'm looking it up and it says... It's a fish, yeah. It is. A butterfish.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Deep sea. Oil filled. Or super white tuna. Tuna-like texture. It's an oil-rich deep-sea fish, also known as a butterfish or super white tuna that contains wax esters,
Starting point is 00:15:59 gympilotoxin, which humans cannot fully digest. Well, I digest it pretty good. That fish is good. They're like, do not recommend to eat. Velcro's at 7. Swiss engineer George Demestrel went for a walk with his dog in 1941
Starting point is 00:16:12 and noticed burrs sticking to his pants. Under a microscope, he saw tiny hooks in the burrs. He then thought, how can I use this to attach to other things in Benad Valkro? Amazing. Because the crap was stuck to him. I mean, it was his nature.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Nature already does that. X-rays at 6. This physicist, Wilhelm Rangentgen, was experimenting with cathode rays in 1895 when he noticed a glowing screen across the room. He realized he could see inside objects, even his wife's hand. Medicine was changed forever.
Starting point is 00:16:44 By the way, there's a myth that the inventor of the x-ray and his wife died from radiation exposure. That's false. Oh, it's false. Oh. The inventor died of a completely different disease, and his wife passed away from a prolonged illness. The myth likely originated from misinterpretations of two related events.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Because I remember hearing that he would use her as a... Yeah. Me too. Experiment. I also buy sushi for potato chips, so what do I know? Fireworks at five. Legend has it over 2,000 years ago. A Chinese cook accidentally mixed charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter while cooking,
Starting point is 00:17:17 and the mixture exploded. and again they can make this up two thousand years ago no cameras I don't believe it yeah that's tough Post-it notes 3M's at company a scientist at 3M was trying to make a
Starting point is 00:17:30 super strong adhesive but ended up making one that was super weak years later another employee realized it was the perfect thing for bookmarks and notes that could stick and unstick wow love posted notes super glue at 3
Starting point is 00:17:43 a chemist Harry Cooper was working on creating clear plastic for gun sites during World War II. Instead, he accidentally invented a substance that bonded almost instantly, super glue. That's pretty cool. Number two, Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 00:18:00 It's a lot of pharmacists or physicists doing stuff. In 1886, a pharmacist, John Pemberton, was trying to create a cure for headaches. He mixed syrup, carbonated water, and, you know, there was some cocaine. in early because we didn't know what cocaine really was or how it affected people. And that's how they got
Starting point is 00:18:21 Coke. It was a headache cured at first. So was it Coke because of cocaine? Yeah, Coca-Cola. That's crazy. Not from the Coca plant. Yeah. I don't believe. Cocaine. But also potato chips. So what do you know? Yeah, what do you know? Number one, Penicillin. In 1928, Alexander Fleming
Starting point is 00:18:40 returned to his messy lab and noticed mold killing the bacteria in one of his petri dishes. That mistake became penicillin. The first true antibiotic, which went on to save millions of lives. Those are all accidental inventions that change the world. Pretty cool. Boom. Coca.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Coca. Did you know? Okay. So here's the weird thing. Coca is a source of cocaine. The coca leaf. Okay. So the same one that makes chocolate.
Starting point is 00:19:10 No. No? That's cocoa. No. Coco or cocoa, cacao, and then coca. Coca. the coca leaf. Coca-Cola was named for its original key ingredients.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Coca-leaves and the cola nut, K-O-L-A, which provided both cocaine and caffeine, respectively. No way. The name directly reflects these ingredients, which were included in the formula when it was first developed and marketed as a tonic. Coca is the Coca-leaf, the source of cocaine.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Cola refers to the cola nut, K-O-L-A-Nut, the source of caffeine. So cocaine and caffeine, that's a country song. That's crazy. That is crazy, uh-huh. I don't know. History is a lot of things that we didn't know while we were making it for a reason. Turns out it could be used by humans in a really terrible way if used wrong.
Starting point is 00:20:06 And I'm sure if you use cocaine very lightly, I'm sure there's a way, for a lot of these drugs that aren't like dirty meth, no. But I'm sure like there's probably some sort of good you could do with cocaine if you just use it barely. Oh, like micro? I don't know. Or normal dose. I don't have no idea.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I've never used cocaine. I never seen cocaine. I just think that like, do people have the ability to just, because then you want it more, more and more, right? But yeah, I mean, there's a weird reason that weed is, well, wasn't allowed forever and alcohol was. And it goes to just what people decided would be allowed. And that's it.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Did you know that, I guess, because you know right now. a big thing in the drug world is the fentanyl, and that they have strips where you test for it? Oh, I did not. What do you mean you test for it? Well, because I was thinking about all the people that are doing drugs that are, you know, you might, like, they're business people. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Because there's a lot of people that do cocaine, and I'm like, you're telling me, I could see like if you're just down on your luck doing drugs, you end up with the fentanyl and you're like, whatever, I'll take the risk. But you're not a successful business person just at a part. party being like, oh yeah, I'll take that cocaine and run the risk. I had no idea that they, they test it before they use it. That there's these little strips and they, or however they do it, I don't know. My friend was telling me about it. I hadn't. She said she was at a party and they were offering stuff. She didn't take any, but that they were like, it's all good. We've tested it.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And she's like, I'm still good. Like, I don't want it. But that's when I was like, what? I didn't know that that's what they do because you would think you'd have more successful people dying from the, and maybe they are. But you know what I'm talking about, those kind of people. Like. Yeah, people, well, listen, people with money. Yeah, like actors, Hollywood people. They don't buy as cheap of drugs because cheap drugs, a lot of times, are mixed with other things.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yes. Horse tranquilizer, rat poise, anything that they can make the actual drug. Yeah. They can do less of the actual drug and use more fillers to then have more drug to sell. Yeah. Let's go to our drug guy. Yeah. Hey, scuba. I pull him up. There he is.
Starting point is 00:22:23 You're talking about cutting cocaine? Well, no, I'm, yeah, I'm talking about way. In the early stages, if they want to sell it cheaper, they mix stuff with it. They're not using as much cocaine. Exactly. It's broken down. It's not as pure. You'll put other things in. I had dealers that would put like Ajax. You don't know what they're cutting it with. Yeah. Because it's, again, like to your point, you can make it last longer by cutting it. Yeah, I mean, make it last long. Yeah, you're just making more out of the same.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah. Exactly. And small amounts are fine. Like key bumps in a bathroom. at a party. But I feel like these days you would just want to test everything. Yeah, but it costs money to get the test though. No, I understand. And the people that are getting the bad drugs, sadly, are the people that don't have money. Well, even like marijuana, it's not as hardcore as ones we're talking about, but those
Starting point is 00:23:07 can have problems with it if they have like mold on it, growing on it or little mites. So depending where you're buying yours, if you're buying for a reputable place, they've looked at it, they've tested it. But if you're buying it for some dude in the street, you don't know what's in it. Or mixed with stuff. Same with bread. Sometimes it's got mold. It does.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Yeah. Eat around it. Ray, play me voice on number one, please. Hey, I'm just sitting here wondering if anybody else is as horrified as I am that Amy is driving around without a license and with an expired license as if it's not a big deal. Anyway, she should probably Google the consequences if she gets over. Have a good day. Hey, you got Google the consequences. Yeah, what are the consequences?
Starting point is 00:23:43 I think I'm scared to Google the consequences. But I'm going to. It's not that big a deal. I'm going to get it. It's a fine. I'd be like, you know, the whole real ID situation. Oh, tell him it was a bit on the show. That's all you got to do.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah, again, it's not that big a deal because she's had her license for many, many years and it just expired. So, yeah, probably a fine. And then you probably get it wiped away as soon as you get your new license. This woman's exactly like going to Alcatraz. I mean, maybe we should Google, though.
Starting point is 00:24:11 And it's not like you become a worst driver because you don't have a license. I'm actually better. She was already a bad driver with her license. But I am paying attention. more because I don't want to get pulled over for something silly. That's a good point. If you get caught driving here with an expired license, you can face a Class C misdemeanor offense
Starting point is 00:24:28 with a potential fine up to, oh, $50. What's Class C? That sounds bad. Court costs and late fees on your license renewal. Your car registration could be suspended. That I'm good. You're fine. Well, my insurance registration all up to date.
Starting point is 00:24:46 You're fine. So, let's do a couple stories. Amy, what do you have over there? So Dawson's Creek had a reunion. And James Vanderbeek was just there with like on video because he couldn't be there because he's sick. And I had not seen a picture of him in a while or video. And it's so hard to see him so frail. Did you see him? Yeah. I talked with him a bunch a few months ago. I guess it was May in Austin. He lives there. And, and. And, you know, he's been fighting cancer. Mm-hmm. But, yeah, it looks. Yeah, I just was like, oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Like, I don't know. The image or the article I saw had an old picture of him. And so I figured, oh, my, wow, he's looking really good. And then I scrolled down and saw what he looks like. And I was like, oh, man, that's hard. And Dawson's Creek was such a show for us growing up. Like, I remember having watch parties and everybody getting together. But we're about all that.
Starting point is 00:25:43 We're their age. And it's just weird to think, like, we're getting old. and we're going to start seeing more and more of our people in situations aging and getting sick. And the older we get. The more. The more people are dying. Right. That's true.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I know. He's 48. I didn't really watch Dawson's Creek, but I got to know James a little bit because he was on dancing with the stars. He did really well. He danced with Emma, who I'm friends with who's on the Bobbycast last week. And so I know they were still friends and I saw him. And again, we had spent a few times together just saying what up. But it was the most I'd ever talked with him.
Starting point is 00:26:14 And he was talking about living in Texas and how he got sick. moved down there with his family and loved it. But yeah, I don't know if it has like, I don't know if the cancer like happened to get. I don't know. He was diagnosed with stage three colorectal cancer in August of 2023, shared it publicly November 24. And, I mean, stage three of that is. Is that your stomach? Got problems over here, dude.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah, what was that? It's my stomach. It's growling like crazy. Like you're hungry? I just ate a bar. I don't think I'm hungry. I told my stomach settled down. Here's a bar.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Dude, that was loud. It's not farted. It's been, no, it's not a farted. No, I didn't hear that. Just keeps doing that. Yeah, that sucks for James Vanderbuk. Hopefully, hopefully he's okay. I don't really don't know anything else.
Starting point is 00:27:03 You know, you said you met with him in May. May. It said he returned to acting in May of 2025 for the legally blonde prequel series. L. Oh, I didn't know he's going to be part of that. That's cool. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.
Starting point is 00:27:22 You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

Starting point is 00:28:19 You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of IHeart Media. And I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing. Math and Magic takes you behind the scenes of the biggest businesses and industries while sharing
Starting point is 00:29:26 insights from the smartest minds in marketing. I'm talking to leaders from the entertainment industry to finance and everywhere in between. This season on Math and Magic, I'm talking to CEO of Liquid Death Mike Cesario, financier and public health advocate Mike Milken, Take-Two interactive CEO Strauss-Zell-N. If you're unable to take meaningful creative risk and therefore run the risk of making horrible creative mistakes, then you can't play in this business. Sesame Street CEO Sherry Weston and our own chief business officer, Lisa Coffey. Making consumers see the value of the human voice and to have that guaranteed human promise behind it really makes it wise to the top. Listen to math and magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you could try.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Cougler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president. Does law a russet. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at life. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep.
Starting point is 00:30:55 It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual Polish saying. 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.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to be. to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Eddie, what do you have over there? This is crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Like, who is Robert Kardashian? I don't understand. Kim Kardashian's dad. Very famous lawyer from O.J. Simpson. Yeah. Very famous, very rich lawyer. Yeah. So Priscilla Presley, Elvis's ex-wife, is writing a memoir and it came out and she talks
Starting point is 00:32:30 about these are all like life after Elvis, who I dated after Elvis. She was like in a whole year-long relationship with Robert Kardashian. And I'm thinking like, it's just a lawyer and he. No, he's a very famous rich guy. Very famous rich lawyer in L.A. Like, there's a picture of him like, he's not that good looking. I mean, I guess he kind of looks like a porn star. He does kind of look like a porn star.
Starting point is 00:32:51 You know? And I started thinking like, this is crazy. But he's very rich. So, like, he was rich in L.A. and every girl wanted to date him. I don't know that every girl does, but he was in that rich circle. You meet people. And then he married Chris Jenner. But what's funny about this in the book, there's a story about where Elvis, I guess, after they got a divorce, he was like still stuck on her and he'd call her.
Starting point is 00:33:15 like drunk late at night and she said that one night Elvis called and Robert was in her bed and she was like and if Elvis would have found out that Robert Kardashian was in my bed when he was calling like Elvis would have come over and probably killed him she said because Elvis always carried like two guns
Starting point is 00:33:32 The irony Elvis died Oh no no no OJ OJ with because he represented OJ he was his defense lawyer So glad that didn't happen
Starting point is 00:33:46 Or if it did happen, OJ would have never killed Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown. No, they have nothing to each other. No, no, no, no. He's just the lawyer. He's not OJ's dad. I'm kidding. Okay, Morgan, what do you have? Yeah, so there's an AI now pet that you can have that simulates having a dog or a cat
Starting point is 00:34:04 without the real responsibilities of a living thing. I like it. It's called a mothlin, and it kind of looks like a little hamster. But it's super fuzzy, and it looks like you can take care of it in the same capacity. It's just AI. It's a pet. Doesn't this feel like Digipet or one of the many? But what does this pet do that's AI? It reacts emotionally to different surroundings.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And it is designed to offer comfort and companionship. So it's actually like literally mimicking a real pet just without it having living organs. You don't have to feed it, take it out. But it's not a real pet. The thing about a real pet is that you actually get companionship, real companionship. And a relationship that grows. Wait, wait, but you liked AI. You like AI as a relationship.
Starting point is 00:34:49 No, I've never said I liked it. I could see me if I never met why possibly using it. But I would know it's not real. As a pet, though, like, you get a pet for that. You don't have to have a pet. I think humans feel the need to have a relationship. Like, say for me, though, my kids want a pet so bad. We have a dog.
Starting point is 00:35:06 But you can train them with the AI and have the AI score them. Like, back in the day when they used to give us this electronic baby in Home Mac. Oh, yeah, yeah. Or a class that was like, Home Mac. economics, whatever that was called. You got an electronic baby? It had like a chip in it. Oh. I remember a kid punted it one day. Got it's cool. He kicked out of the class, got a F. See, that's funny. Because they had, because they gave the results back. The baby had severe trauma. Oh, that's not funny. No. It's not funny. So you could get an AI pet and see if your kids do everything, like feed it, take it out.
Starting point is 00:35:35 No, no, no. We've had real pets and they never did that. No, I'm talking about it in general. You could like warm it up. Warm up a kid that wants a real pet to see if he can actually do it by getting this AI pet. Yeah, so it reacts to voice touch and handling by adjusting its behavior. And it develops a unique personality based on how it's treated, becoming either shy, energetic, affectionate, or more reserved. So it can display over four million emotional patterns. That's crazy. And it can give you a score. I mean, think about that baby now being AI for kids.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Like, you here, take the AI baby home and let's see what your score is. When it cries, you got to get to it in a certain amount of time. Because that was a joke. Like, they would do eggs, you know, like, anything. If you didn't break the egg, you passed. No, we had real babies like Bobby's talking about, and they would throw up and they would create, like, you know. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Ours didn't do that because I'm obviously older, but no, tell me more about yours. Yeah, so it wasn't much more advanced than yours, but yeah, it would either, like, throw up, like something would come out of it or would have something come out of its bottom. And you had to change the diaper. If you didn't change a diaper, that counts as something. You had to take it with you everywhere. If it was too far away from you, it noticed. So it was pretty close to getting up there. Now they're probably a lot more advanced.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Yeah, I would think now they could create a really cool and give you a more realistic score. See, those are good classes right there. That finances, everything else. Like, what are we doing, science? Like, when are we going to use science? Well, not you, but there's certain scientists. You know, my son has a funny argument with that.
Starting point is 00:37:03 He's like, why isn't science an elective? Like, if you're going to be a scientist, take science. For all the rest of us, like, we don't need to take science. I think mostly getting a high school diploma or a college diploma is about actually finishing something more than it is what you're doing. So finishing the class? Like you have started, did the work, you've done the work, you did the work, and you finished it.
Starting point is 00:37:26 I think it's about that. Like a task is assigned. You have shown that you have completed a task more than it is about the individual things that you learn. Oh, see, we should focus on learning things that we're going to need for the rest of our life. But we don't know at that age for sure. No, but like taking care of the baby's good, you know, like money. is good.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Like, we're all going to need to... But Amy's point is in the 10th grade, you really don't know where you're going to fall in life. And I think they've rounded out, like, these are the good basics and fundamentals to build upon should you choose a certain route. If you don't want to go past that, don't go past that. But you have a bunch of people running around learning how to balance a checkbook and take care of a baby. That's all we're doing. I understand the important. Like, life skills, I think, should...
Starting point is 00:38:10 There should be more of an emphasis on life skills. Yeah. Etiquette. In school. know, like tipping etiquette, like all that stuff. Maybe like senior year. You don't have to take those classes, those specific classes, something like that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:25 In college, you really don't. There's some basics you have to take, but really they don't push you in a direction if you're not going to. But yeah, I agree. I also think the education should be free, even college, and I think we should have health care. But that's a whole different topic. That'd be nice. We're like the one civilized country that doesn't have health care. It blows my mind.
Starting point is 00:38:42 And I grew up without health care. so it double blows my mind. We're the richest country in the world and people have to decide between food and medicine. Yeah, like now that my mom's older, we start dealing with that. Like she has no insurance
Starting point is 00:38:54 and no she has to buy her own insurance and that's really expensive and she's too old to kind of have a job. And so sometimes it's hard to get insurance if you have a preexisting condition or sometimes the medicine because that's a business, right? Medicine is not a charity.
Starting point is 00:39:11 So they're going to make that medicine as expensive as they can. Oh, and having a baby. My sister just got our hospital bill back. Yeah. It's not cheap. How much costs to have a baby? You don't want to know.
Starting point is 00:39:22 No, he does want to know. Tell him. How much cost of a baby? I think it was like 20K. Oh, no. My sister's is so much higher. Why? Was she having it at the Chateau Marmal?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Where did she go? Hospital. Were there complications or anything? I mean, she had her, like, the high blood pressure, but she had planned to be at a birthing center and they moved her over to, like, the hospital. Did her insurance cover any of it? Yeah. I covered a lot of it, but the fact that her bill was as high, like, it's the price of a brand new car.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Really? To have, just to have a child. It depends on the state, though, because in California, my son costs $250 for the whole thing. But Tennessee, it depends on where you live. It costs a lot more. But insurance did cover some. I mean, my first child was in Nick U. So, I mean, the bill was, if I would have had to pay for it, would have been $100,000.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Yeah, that's crazy. Insane. Go to California and have a baby. And some people don't have insurance. Yeah. So they just have I mean One medical bill
Starting point is 00:40:15 Can bankrupt somebody All of a sudden You get sick or you get hurt And it's not like Everybody has thousands of dollars Sitting in a savings account But yeah That to me is one of the things
Starting point is 00:40:26 That still blows my mind That our politicians Aren't fighting for health care That's a human That should be a human right Especially when you're living in The richest country In the freaking world
Starting point is 00:40:35 I do watch those people on TikTok That they're Americans They go to China What do they do? They go to China for what? Just to go. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I don't know why they're there. One guy's a teacher. He works over there. Oh, they go live there. Yeah, or they go on vacation. One guy's on like vacation. And you can't just go over there. You got to have like a work visa to get in there.
Starting point is 00:40:53 And they're all like, yeah, you've been telling you wrong. This place is awesome. It's crazy. There's like three of them I follow. Like the buildings, the technology. But isn't TikTok Chinese? Is it TikTok Chinese? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Are they behind that? They're recruiters. I don't know, dude. I'm just asking. It's a great point. But they can't fake the cities. I was talking to a friend that I used to work at NetGeo with. I'm a friend.
Starting point is 00:41:24 He was one of the people that hired me. And I was asking him like, hey, what are the coolest cities to go to that you thought probably were unsafe or maybe as Americans, we shouldn't go? And he said Shanghai, China was one. He was like, it's the greatest city. Oh, yeah. He said he wouldn't go to Russia right now. But Russia was really beautiful. But he was like, I didn't feel safe there.
Starting point is 00:41:41 not because of getting attacked, but because they're probably hacking and everything you have as soon as you get over there. I'd like to go somewhere like Vietnam. I haven't been to Vietnam. Oh, my boyfriend went a couple months ago. It's a Vietnam? Awesome.
Starting point is 00:41:55 For work, yeah. For work. Well, I mean, he was working on. But he said, yeah, what? The other day you said he's going to Paris for work. I was there right now. I believe, yeah, no, I was laughing at that. It's just kind of.
Starting point is 00:42:09 I believe he probably is doing all that stuff for work. you don't think he's doing that for work? Is that what that laugh was? No, I thought it was just a weird black. No, no, no, when you, no, not even that. I don't think it's a weird flag. A lot of people have international jobs. When you said Vietnam, I was going to say, did you fight in it?
Starting point is 00:42:22 And then I didn't. Oh, because I was like, wait, what did I say that's like weird? I just. And that would have been. It's funny because he's older. I chose not to say it, but I couldn't help but make myself laugh. And I didn't even laugh. I just smiled.
Starting point is 00:42:33 So I like kept that down. Yeah, it wasn't anywhere that I ever thought of going. But once he got back, I was like, oh, wow, that would actually be a cool place to take a trip to. So he goes back for a reunion? No, he's not that old. I know, that's why I didn't say it. That's the joke.
Starting point is 00:42:53 No, I get it now. I know, and I didn't say it. I just smiled. I didn't even make a noise. Ah, yeah, yeah. When you said it, I just thought to myself, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one. He's over there and fighting.
Starting point is 00:43:07 No, no, no. Vietnam. That'd be kind of cool to go over there. Yeah, now. I just think there's a lot of places that just are never on my radar that I'll probably never go to. But now I know like, oh, that would be cool to visit. Lunchbox? Yeah, 12-year-old boy in Sacramento. Yesterday morning, decided to take his parents' car for a joy ride, drove by his old school, ran over some traffic cones.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Police tried to pull him over. He said, not so fast. 70-mile an hour chase. They were able to stop him after he hit a parked car and no one was injured. Luckily, nobody was hurt. That's why it's funny. That's why it was funny because nobody was hurt. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Not funny if he hits somebody. But that's crazy. I don't know how some 12-year-olds are taller. But does he like the top of a head drive by? Barely. And the fact that he decided I'm going to go by my old school. I'm driving a car. That's probably the only place he knew where to go.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Like I know that route. If you saw a car coming at you and you just saw the top of a head. Oh, gosh. I think I would be afraid to call the cough because what if it was just a little person? Like an adult? Yeah, what if it was Morgan? And I, you know. Cabo me.
Starting point is 00:44:16 You don't have ducks in this car you have now, right? Don't they do like horses? What do they do? No, stop. No, they do something. They're supposed to do the horses, like Broncos, but. You like your Bronco? I love it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:30 You like it better in the Jeep? Yeah, a lot better. I named it too. What's the coolest place you've ever been? What do you name it? I thought you were just moving on. No, no, no. I was, what'd you name it?
Starting point is 00:44:41 Bandit, it's after one of my horses I had growing up. You had a horse? That's cool. I had a cat named Bandit. Was it black? Banda was white. Yeah, we had four horses, Eddie. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Horse rider. All right. Dang. Coolest place you ever been. Hmm. Maybe Di Watanahoe was pretty cool. Mexico. Who what?
Starting point is 00:45:04 Mexico. That's where Andy Dufrain went. It's the beach where, Shawshank Redemption. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So get busy. Say you Watanahou. Living, get bit... I mean, that was kind of cool, but I don't like love the beach.
Starting point is 00:45:20 But Hawaii's pretty cool. Coolest place you ever been, Eddie? Man, I think I would have said Hawaii, like, a lot of time. Like, Hawaii is definitely my favorite place. But when I went to Zion National Park, that was pretty magical. Because, like, I've never seen anything like that before. Like, they have mountains and rock formations so big and so high. You just can't believe that that's actually real.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Oh, yeah. You know, like, that's, I've never, my eyes have never seen. I've seen the Grand Canyon, but I guess I was younger and I don't really remember. But these structures or whatever, these natural formations. And like, you'll have like a little mountain of a rock. And on top is like a bold, it looks like a looney tune cartoon where the roadrunner. Like it's way too big. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:04 And at any moment, the rock should roll off. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't. It's crazy. Morgan? I think it would have to be North Cascades National Park. It's at the very, very top of Washington. And they call it the American Alps.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I felt like I was just like this tiny bug on a little planet when I stood up on those mountains. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Man, when you see big mountains, you're just like, dude, I am nothing. I'm an aunt. You travel at all. You feel like that. I've been lucky enough to travel a bunch for work for some. One of mine is Norway when I went to Norway.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I did Bear Girls this first time. I've not seen anything like that ever. We were up in some remote part of Norway. Yeah, it's, I don't even know. Fjords. Oh yeah, that's right. Fjords. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:52 And the people are so nice and it's so much more of a community than we have here. You know, we're very isolated. Even when we live next to people, we're very isolated. As Americans, we're very isolated. We have our own houses, our own spaces,
Starting point is 00:47:05 our own fences, our own, our own yard. It's just not like that generally there. That was super cool. I think my favorite city I've ever been to is probably Vienna, Austria. Very clean, very safe. That is super cool. I just thought of the, when I went to Kenya and, um, yeah, that's far. That's a good one. Went on a, uh, I forgot about this trip, but it just popped in my mind. The safari we did. I mean, we went over there for like two weeks and we're working at a orphanage place. But then at the end of the trip. We went on a safari. And I think seeing some of those animals up close, like that was pretty crazy. Yeah, the more you travel, the more you realize it's not so much about you and that all
Starting point is 00:47:46 the belief system that you've had growing up is just a belief system because that's exactly where you, that's only because of where you live. And had you been miraculously sprouted in another part of the world, you have a different belief system. Like in general of how you mess with people, how you mess with food, how you, everything. And so much of our life is just dictated. And so much of our life is just dictated. by exactly where we were born. And what those, how those surroundings influence you, the people in those surroundings,
Starting point is 00:48:14 but man, you travel around, you realize, just an aunt. She'll like it. Just an aunt. Lunchbox, best place ever? Alaska. Absolutely beautiful. Just everything.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Mountains, glaciers. I mean, just water, everything. So much land. It's just, it was amazing. Anywhere you don't want to go India North Korea Oh I'd like to go to North Korea
Starting point is 00:48:41 Just to see No I want to go to South Korea Or just Korea Yeah yeah I want to go there That'd be fun I like to go there too I don't want to go to Russia
Starting point is 00:48:48 I'm scared of Russia I think I would love to go to Russia It's too cold I don't like the cold thing I would want to see like the square Like it was red square All the colors I would love to go to Russia to see that
Starting point is 00:49:00 I don't want to be in Russia right now But maybe at some point You know when we're on an airplane, I take pictures instead of you. Just Google it. You get a better picture. Google images. That's kind of how I feel about the square in Russia. I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:49:12 I'm good. Although the Taj Mahal would be cool to see. That's not Russia. That's India. Yeah. That would be cool to see. But I've just seen like too many. I'm just letting culture affect me negatively.
Starting point is 00:49:23 Like Guatemala. I was good on not going up to Guatemala when I was down in South America. I'm sure there's some great parts of it. And I could be very wrong. Bad PR. Bad PR. That's exactly it. Snakes in Guatemala.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Bad PR. You know as good PR is Dubai? They do. Yeah, they really do. They pay for it. Great PR. Those buildings look crazy. Yeah, and I watch people on TikTok in Dubai, and they're like, they do a thing where they leave
Starting point is 00:49:49 their keys in their wallet on their car. Have you guys seen this? No. And they go in and they have dinner and they come out two hours later and their keys and their wallet are still there. And they're like, this is the safest city you could ever be in. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. You wouldn't hear.
Starting point is 00:50:01 How are they going to do it anywhere for an experiment? What's the structure? Like, how do it? How have they built such a safe? Like, is there too much fear of like you get your... Probably. Something chopped off. Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Probably fear. Probably policing. Yeah. But when I went to Japan, there's no trash on the street. There's no trash on the street. There's no trash cans on the street. So is that people like collecting their trash and throwing it wherever they need to or people picking them up quick?
Starting point is 00:50:25 It's there. You have trash. You keep it with you until you get home or inside somewhere else. That's what I try to teach my kids, man. Or like even no spitting. Super clean. Yeah. Super clean.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Well, I don't know. The exact rules, but, like, or what your consequences are if you get caught doing that. I mean, here, it's illegal to litter or you get fine, but people don't care. It's also not a fear-based thing in some places. It's the culture. It's a respect. You don't treat other people this way. And by you doing that, that you treating other people this way, by you littering.
Starting point is 00:50:54 But we hear, it's like, we're isolated and do everything for yourself. That's our culture here. But. And it's really what your parents did, because, like, my dad would just throw stuff out the window all the time. So I did for years. That's very much a 70s and 80s thing. I don't want to just make your dad feel bad. Like in America, I remember my uncle doing that. Just throwing crap out the door. And what did I do? The same thing. And then my wife's like, what are you doing? Like, don't do that. And then I stopped doing it. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. You can get fined in like,
Starting point is 00:51:21 Japan, Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, where I was. But you went to Tokyo. Is that where you went? Yeah, but people just don't do it. But I remember getting there and being like, where to, I have this drink. I just drank it where do I put it? And there's not a trash can outside. When I was in Paris last year, they have these bathrooms on the street. And you go up and you, you don't touch it. You wave your hand on it. And this little door opens. And it's basically a fountain for guys. And the water's coming down the fountain. And you pee on the water. And it just rinses away. And nobody. And if it were in American, people would pee on the building. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:05 They wouldn't even go in. Yeah. And there's a sink. And I was amazed because it was clean. It was just on the street. And there was a line of like three guys. And everybody's just waiting to pee on the street. No problem.
Starting point is 00:52:17 America, they'd like pooped in their hands and like wiped it on it. Yeah, that's what's up. Hey, let's talk about, hey, Ray, this is your thing. Would you give up your seat in this scenario at the airport? Yeah, so it was at the airport and they said that our flight wasn't balanced. so it wasn't even that they needed an extra seat. They took somebody out because we weighed too much. And so they made this offer, and I wanted to see if you guys would do it,
Starting point is 00:52:42 if you thought it was enticing or not. Okay, go ahead. It was $500 in voucher credit, so you would get a hotel, a shuttle to the hotel, and food. And you could, however you spent that, you got $500 for all that. And then they also offered $1,000 cash, and it was a Visa gift card. So you could use it pretty much like cash. You waited one extra flight or what? You would have to go the next day.
Starting point is 00:53:03 So it'd be a whole 24 hours. You get pretty much $1,500. It just depends. If you have anything? Right. Like, why are you going? Yep. Do you care about the amount of time you're there?
Starting point is 00:53:13 Are you trying to avoid people, but you need to show face? Then okay. But if you're going to miss the funeral that you're going for, then no. And I couldn't because of work, but do you guys think anybody decided to do it? Yes. Somebody would because they keep raising it until someone finally accepts. Well, that was the first initial offer and a college kid. I'm just guessing Vanderbilt guy right away.
Starting point is 00:53:33 That $1,000, he jumped up real quick. Yeah, that's heavy. I wonder, do they cover the hotel room, though, if you have to spend the night? Yeah, well, I mean, it was all part of that $500. You could get a really nice hotel room, $200. You could spend pretty much $200 in food, and then I would imagine $100 would cover a cab.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I don't think $200 gets a really nice hotel room. In Detroit? Probably gets a... I don't know. Detroit's nice again, man. It's not, though. Like the downtown, they... He was just there.
Starting point is 00:53:57 I was just there. They're trying to make this thing called Greek Town that's going to come out in, like, the next year. Bobby's like their PR's been good. Every street. Pure Michigan, man. Look at the billboards. Every street is ripped up. Pure Michigan. It's not ready for you. Maybe a couple years will be good. Not right now. I'll take your word. Okay, so one other update we needed to do. I tried to pay for the present rights for Eddie's dyslexia walk. Yes. Reached out. I was like, I got 10,000 bucks. Have it. And they were like, we already have a presenting sponsor.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Damn, what a shame. Now, are you still doing it? Now, I'm still walking. Well, you know. No, no, no, no, no. I mean, should I do it? Have you cured your dyslexia? No. Okay. Then you should go do it. So maybe I need to do it.
Starting point is 00:54:38 You brought this whole thing up. Problem is, though, I have a charity thing after the next day with Amy. Wait, what? You don't even know what day anything is because the charity thing is Friday and the race is Saturday. Eddie, producer Eddie Hole in One challenge. Okay, but you don't know what day it is. You're just saying stuff. I know it was butted up next to the race because I was stressed out about that.
Starting point is 00:54:57 But you didn't even know about this until I said, I'll sponsor this. Well, no, when I talked about my race, she talked about her charity. Yeah. But my point is you didn't know about it until we talked about your race. What do you want me to do? You want me to race still? You're the one that said you were doing it. Because I thought we were going to raise money for this thing.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Now that you're not even going to do the watering station, what's the whole point of me doing this? Because of the reason of this raise awareness. Are you coming to the whole in one thing? No. Not you. You paid for it. When is it? It's Friday.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Oh. I meant Eddie because it says there's a sign. It literally says. Have you seen the sign? It says, in honor of Eddie. dyslexia, hole in one for 10K. Okay, I have to run it then.
Starting point is 00:55:38 The race. Yes, that way I can go to, because it's yours in the next day? No. It's the night before. It's the night before. Are you listening? She said it three times.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Okay, so then when I... It's Friday and the race is in the morning. So when I go to yours, I'll have that conversation with people. Like, got a race tomorrow. I got a big race for dyslexia. That's what the sign is... Okay, so for everybody that didn't hear it.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Eddie's like, hey, will you do this race? So I called and said, I'll sponsor. And they said, we already have a presenting sponsor. Amy also said, have a thing where you sponsor it. And so I gave Amy $700, which is weird, but okay. Well, what's weird? Because I brought up the sponsorship and then Amy ended up getting the sponsor. But he was going to do both. It was really kind of him. And also, I just said, I wasn't going to say anything, but now this popped in my head. So I might as well, I thought we had
Starting point is 00:56:18 missed the deadline. So I wasn't, but I was like, well, maybe we'll just see if we can still make it work. Because someone before has hit the whole in one and gotten $10,000. Really? Yeah, like, I think in Atlanta maybe or something. Like, it could happen. Well, if you hit it, Eddie, give the 10,000 of the race. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm a foster parent. True.
Starting point is 00:56:36 So I gave Amy the money. I said I'd like for it to be named in honor of Eddie, even though it's not about dyslexia. So the hole is called, what is it called again? In honor of Eddie's dyslexia, hole in one for 10K. Add an event for. Foster kids. Right. For Isaiah 117 House.
Starting point is 00:56:55 It's all over the place. And it's all over the place. Yeah. So, you know, like. And people will, I thought that everybody at the vent would just get to step up and do one shot. And they said, oh, no, people are going to get multiple swings. And I'm like, that's such a cool little treat for people that are there for the fundraiser to be able to have that little activity. So thank you, Bobby.
Starting point is 00:57:20 What if I didn't sponsor it? Would they still do it? We weren't going to do. We just weren't going to have it there. And I thought we'd miss the deadline. That's why when Eddie brought that up, I'm like, you know what? Maybe I'll just say something, see what happens. And then that's why I was like, hey, I'm going to circle back to you with the details.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Because really, the deadline had hit. But then they're like, if you have a sponsor, I think we can still make it work. And then you'd already been moody of the money. And I was like, slow down. I'm still trying to figure this out. But then, yay, it worked out. So how much did you donate? 700.
Starting point is 00:57:49 So how do they cover the 10,000? It's an insurance. So technically, it was 785, but I threw in the 85. So you gave it to me. and then I gave it to then. Why do you have to say that? No, no, why do you have to say that? There was no need for that
Starting point is 00:58:04 because now you've minimized it a bit. No, you did. No, there was no need for that. You know it and that's why you started smiling. So, Amy, you donated too. That's what I get for the Vietnam smile. But I didn't mean to say that. She did say that.
Starting point is 00:58:15 No, no, no. I'm going to explain to you the cost of everything. The bay itself to reserve that bay is $600. And then $185 is their insurance. No, I hear you, but you didn't have. have to say that you paid the rest of it. So did you want me to lie and say the Bay 600 and no one asked how much the bay cost? But Eddie kind of just did. He said how do they get the money? I said insurance. That's all I said. Insurance. You were you were queued up. She was waiting. She was just
Starting point is 00:58:42 waiting to put the $85 in there. Dang. That's not true. Well, that's cool though. Amy, you donated too. Look at you. I already donate. Hey, we're 50-50 in this. I did donate. We're 50-50 in this. No, I got some feeling things. bays and we invited listeners. You paid $600 for a bay? Well, technically the bays, the Holamon Bay 600, the bays for listeners were $1,000. You paid $1,000? Oh, it's your charity, though.
Starting point is 00:59:11 It's not my charity, but I... You invited listeners? We selected listeners, so... I mean, big time me twice in this segment. No, but you were about to spend $10,000 on... 100% of the money is going to the organization, so why wouldn't? Okay, yeah, seriously. Dang, I have just been minimized.
Starting point is 00:59:32 That is not... Okay, never mind. How much did Bobby donate? Not as much as her. He's giving everybody the opportunity to have fun and maybe win 10K, so I'm very grateful. And really, I get all the credit. How did this turn? No one's going to ask who donated the money.
Starting point is 00:59:46 They're going to read the sign. I know. Well, they had on the thing, like, oh, I guess a director somewhere heard the segment, and they're like, oh, that's from Bobby Bones. So when they first sent out the email, they had that. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. correction, correction. It needs to say
Starting point is 00:59:59 Don't get it twisted. I really need it to say in honor of Eddie's dyslexia. I think they were like, what? Of course they were like what. Because that was the reason. They were supposed to be like what? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:12 So, no, they're a great, very thankful, Bobby. So thank you. And you, Amy. And mostly you though. No, mine's like, look at the things you did. Really stuck it, really sucked a wind out of me.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Let's be real. I'm the real winner here. Okay. I spend no money. I have a banner. Is your picture on it? Amy? Because they're not going to know who you are.
Starting point is 01:00:33 They're just going to think Eddie. They're not going to know. I'll be there and I'll tell him. I'm Eddie. Hello, everyone. I can add a photo. Oh, that's cool. Well, they'll think I'm dead.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yeah. It should be like Eddie in the clouds. Yeah, like you take the rainbow bridge. They're like, tell us the story about Eddie and his dyslexia. What kind of guy was he? Gather around, everybody. Let me do one more story. Aston Martin, which is a fancy car has rolled out a new $3,000 baby stroller.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Now, I don't know how much strollers are anyway. So how much are strollers? Oh, man, they can get them for 20 bucks. Well, 20 bucks. A average, $300. But the fancier ones, like $700. So when $3,000 hits and it says it's a stroller from Ashton Martin, I think, well, that's going to be extremely expensive. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:19 But I didn't know what strollers actually are. Like, do you want the stroller with like, it looks like a camping chair and the wheels are tiny, that's cheap. You know, like little handles. But maybe it collapses on the baby? No, no, no, no. They're real small. They're just like the rinky dink stroller that you used to use as a kid.
Starting point is 01:01:39 It's almost like they're sitting on a hammock. It's very hard to push them. They don't have good wheels. They don't go over off-roading. Or you can buy one of those like bobs that have wheels that you see people running with and you can push your kids. They're big old strollers. Those cost about 300 bucks.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Hey, sometimes you can add a Bluetooth speaker in there. And it's already A baby or for you? It's for everyone. Oh, it's like a motorcycle. You just have a big one to just blames. You get an add on with a fan that blows right on the baby to keep them more. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:05 The company has partnered with UK firm Egg to create a high-end stroller. And while it will cost less than a $200,000 plus sticker for a car, it's $3,000 and up price tag will still put it firmly in the luxury category. Let me see this one. So, yeah, I guess I don't know the stroller world. So it looks cool, I guess. But also, isn't this like a temporary purchase? Like you can only use these for so long because the kid grows.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Unless you have multiple kids. Oh, that's a good point. Then you can sell it on Facebook Marketplace when you're done. I don't know. Like some of the baby stuff, lunchbox is kind of hard to sell, right? A stroller, though. Stroller may be easier. What are you trying to sell diapers?
Starting point is 01:02:44 Yeah. Like cribs, they don't like you reselling those. Who's they? Like new parents. They're just like, I don't want it. Or like safety or what? Well, no, some parents want everything new. If it's their first kid, it's like, oh my gosh, everything has to be new.
Starting point is 01:02:55 but then once you have multiple kids you're like, who cares? Give me the used one. Yeah. That's... Yeah, it looks pretty cool. Does it have the emblem on it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:04 That's pretty cool. This, again, I don't think I've ever been looked at a stroller up close, but it has like a thing that covers the baby. The canopy? The hood. Yeah, well, it's got the hood. Okay, good. Hood comes over the top, but it also has something that, like if the baby's laying in it,
Starting point is 01:03:21 it comes over their chest. Oh, that's cool. Is that normal on strollers? Mm-hmm. It is? Okay. That's where they... The front one, I don't know. I've never seen that. You ever seen the front cover? No. There is a hood, but this also has
Starting point is 01:03:33 like a zip-up. Oh, it is that I've asked in our logo. That's pretty cool. It is crazy how many vehicles make strollers. When I was buying like baby gifts, like Jeep makes them. I had a Jeep one. Do they do it for novelty? Because it can't be a huge market in cars making strollers. They can't be
Starting point is 01:03:49 making money over in that part of the world. So is it novelty to go along with their brand. I mean, everyone needs a stroller. I mean, it's a big market. Yeah, but I would say there are probably stroller companies, like baby companies. Yeah. More so than, I got to get the new Jeep stroller that's coming out this year.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Like, they probably do it for part novelty. I'm sure it's a nice stroller. But, like, pottery barn kids, here's a Bentley. Six and one, that's a trike. That's cool. That's cool. I mean, and maybe it's like someone that can't afford an Aston Martin car is like, I can get the stroller, though.
Starting point is 01:04:21 And so you feel like you're a part of the luxury brand. All right, we're done. That's pretty cool. I do have a new podcast up with Colby Calais today and she does talk about, you know, the song that she has, It's in my toes, makes me crinkle my nose. Where at the very beginning she goes, will you count me in?
Starting point is 01:04:38 And we talk about how she was like, I want that out of the song. I wanted that out of the song. No way. And how it ended up in the song. So check out the Bobbycast with Colby Calais. She has a new record that's out with a bunch of country artists like redo. Whoa, what is this? That's a $6,000 stroller.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Lambo stroller. A Lamborghini. Lunch Fox. That's what you need. $6,000. So what does that one look like? Well, I don't... It looks like a really cool black stroller
Starting point is 01:05:02 with Lamborghini written on it, but I don't know what a real stroller looks like. I mean, I know the shape, but I'm not sure what the... Like, the utility of a stroller is to put a baby in and roll it around, right? Yes, that's it. Yeah, I do know that some of the strollers, they can, like, advance with the baby.
Starting point is 01:05:18 So some strollers are only meant for a newborn or a very young child, and then as they get older, some of them can change. So that makes them a little bit more expensive too. This one looks like it turns into a... Car? It looks like it turns from a stroller, though, into...
Starting point is 01:05:35 Is there a version of a stroller where the kid just sits in it? Yes. There's a laydown and then there's a sit-up. Yes. Because a baby doesn't sit? Yeah. It does? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:45 I don't know if that baby just laid. Dude, that's crazy. $6,000? I mean, there's a cool stroller my neighbor has. It turns straight into a car seat now. You don't have to take it apart. You just press a button, clas us right into a car seat.
Starting point is 01:05:56 That's amazing. Wow. That is so cool. What's that cost? Where do the wheels go? I don't know. It's like a transformer. I just seen...
Starting point is 01:06:06 I mean, you brought it up, man. You treated her like she's an idiot for asking. All right, we're done. Thank you guys. We'll see it tomorrow on the show. Goodbye, everybody. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke
