Hey, 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. 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. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong step.

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?

I'm Anna Navarro, And on my new podcast, Bleep with Anna Navarro, I'm talking to the people closest to the biggest issues happening in your community and around the world. Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on. Every week I'm breaking down the biggest issues happening in our communities and around the world. I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. The Justice Department threw, we counted four presidents.

administration failed these victims. Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's a Bobby Bone Show. This guy got released from prison after 30 years. I can read you. This is from Sky News. So he was wrongly accused of murder. He got released from prison in Hawaii after 30 years behind bars.

And he said the one thing that he's found so weird is everybody is looking at their phones all the time. Now, obviously, he's seen a phone. They smuggle those things in buttholes all the time in prisons. They keester them in there and people have them. They text. At a cousin that would like FaceTime from prison. It's wild. And so they have them obviously. But they don't have them out all the time because they're not really supposed to have them. So it's not like every inmates on their phone all the time. But this guy 51 years old named Gordon got out of prison on Friday. He was convicted of killing a guy in 1994 over a drug deal gone bad. He's always said he was innocent. DNA evidence finally cleared him. One of the things he first

did was go out for a nice steak dinner, which he said was a little different than the prison food he's been eating. And he said the craziest experience is that everybody is looking at their phone all the time. He had never seen, he calls him cell phone zombies, because when he went in in 94, they didn't have cell phones like we do now. They didn't even have flip phones until 96. It was just beepers. And when there were phones in prison, everybody didn't have them out all the time. You kind of had to hide them. So he thinks it's weird how people are always on their phones, messages are always flooding in. He has a phone now. He says, it keeps

beeping. Well, also he's kind of famous now. He's at a prison and won. People are like congratulations. I always believed in you. Yeah, right. You didn't even come see me in jail. Oh, I hit him with that immediately. So, Gordon thinks it's weird. Everybody's on their phones. I was watching a video last night on TikTok. My algorithm

feeds me a lot of 90s and early 2000s alternative concerts. The two music things I get a lot are like 80s country award shows, which are so fun to watch, and then 90s alternative live music. And I was watching Incubus do,

Wish you were here. And it's wild to see a group of people. Belly to butt. 500 rows deep, and not a single phone is in the air. Crazy to see. And I'm not one of those guys that's like, everybody's on their phones. Culture's different.

Culture's always been different. Culture will always be different. There will be things in 15 years that people look back at and go, man, can you believe, you know, when they didn't have chips in their eyes, they weren't always recorded, whatever it is. Culture is always changing. But it was pretty odd to see nobody on a phone. I also think you can enjoy a concert while recording it on your phone. I think that's how people have, if you're 19, that's really how you've enjoyed any concert you've ever been to your whole life. That's what you know is enjoying your concert.

So people are like, oh, man, people pull the phones out. Concerts suck. Ah, you're just old. but it was pretty neat to see nobody on their phone and just everybody looking up singing the song. It's pretty cool. Also, that dude was young. Brandon, Brandon Boyd?

Brandon Boyd. Late singer. He was. I think of this. Yeah, he was young. He looked like he's about 19, 20 years old himself, and they were playing that song. All those guys look young.

Like, when you look at those old, they show Stone Temple pilots or whatever, like, gosh, he looks like a kid. He's 49 now. I'm not sure what year it was. He still looks good now. But I always think about those guys, too, that had really difficult songs.

Like, they were really great singers. And so as they get older, they can't really sing them the same way. I mean, because now 49, probably can still hold it. But that, I wish you were here. I went to an Elton John show at a charity event once. And Elton's in the 70s. Those high songs, he had to take it down multiple levels

because he couldn't hit the, he did Blue Jean Lake, baby. He did that one. dancer. But some of the crocodile rock he had to pull it down because his voice

couldn't get that high anymore. It's wild like a Ronnie Dunn who's in his 70s sings in the same key that Brooks and Dunn did 30 years ago. It sounds the same. Yeah.

It's amazing. And most of the time when these people turn anybody, a singer turns 65, 70, 75, they have to change the key of their songs. A rare alignment of seven planets

has taken place in the sky this week. This is from Science Alert. So what is that going to make me, Amy. Itchy. I don't know. Irritable. I'm not, listen, I'm not an expert in this, but let me do some quick research. A very rare treat about degrace Earth's night skies on the evening of February 28th, which is three nights from now. All seven of the other planets in the solar system will appear in the night sky at the same time. That's cool. With Saturn, Mercury, Neptune,

Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars all lining up in a neat row. It's not uncommon for a few planets to be on the same side of the sun at the same time, but it's less. common for most or even all the planets like this. There's an app called Sky Tonight. It's a free mobile app that uses your phone's hardware to gauge where you're located and shows you real-time positions. You'll need binoculars or a telescope to see all the planets and have clear skies, obviously.

You won't see them if it's cloudy. But I'm sure astrology person's going to be, nah, you know, you're probably going to feel a bit of sadness around noon. Because of the planets. Yeah. But isn't that an expression too? Like, you know, the planets all align. Yes, that is an expression.

So maybe something good can happen out of this. Because literally the planets are aligning. Something good can happen, but it has nothing to do with the planet's aligning. Because if it did every single person that was under these planets would have something good happen to them. This is very selective. But they said it's very rare. Extremely rare even. A lot of rare things happen.

It's going to be magical. Yeah, a lot of rare things. Which ones in retrograde is all I want to know. Any thoughts on how we'll feel when this happens, what we should feel? No, I'm looking. It doesn't really seem like it's going to impact. Good. How can this not?

This is modern. Whether random things, Venus is three degrees off, so you should really feel tragedy. Or the blood moon. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. There's that theory.

You got nothing? They got nothing. It says it's just going to be a magical time. I don't know. Like, it's going to be cool to see. but it's not going to impact us. Like, I would play the lottery. Astrologically.

But then if everybody played the lottery, if that was supposed to affect that, everybody would win. Well, not everyone's going to play it. Once I had a numerologist come in and do my thing, they told me I was going to be wildly rich. What's a numerologist? Yeah, what does that mean?

Who? Where? Like, I've heard a psychologist. No, a numerologist feels, and I don't believe in it, by the way. But a numerologist is kind of like astrology, and they use numbers to predict your future, they like look into the stars and crap?

So in numerology, someone who studies. Oh yeah, your life path number, stuff like that. Oh my gosh. Bigg's cool crap stuff. Of course, Amy knows that's exactly what it is. Here's the life path number. The most important number calculated from your birth date representing your purpose and challenges in life.

Then you have a destiny number derived from the full name at birth, indicating talents of potential. Then you have angel numbers, repeating sequences, 111, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, that are believed to carry divine messages. My cousin does all of this. Then you have master numbers, 11, 22, 33, 3, 3, 3, 3,000, that are considered powerful and spiritually significant. Then you have compatibility numbers used to analyze relationships based on numerical vibrations.

So they're basically going to look at your birthday and your name and then offer you guidance on your career relationships and personal growth. Come on. Oh, yeah. So like whenever I was trying to sell my house, my cousin told me to put a number in my mailbox and it would make my house sell faster. And my house didn't even go in the market. It just sold. What? And then yours said what?

She told me I was going to be wildly rich. Okay. I don't know if, yeah, I mean, close. But still, I don't think that that picked that. No, but so you can take, there's address numerology, like you can take the numbers in your address. Like you add them up and then bring them back down. So each number, one through nine,

will represent a different thing. And I needed to make my number what you want for selling your house, which I did. So I had to go put a number in my mailbox. Y'all don't remember me telling you all this? I don't know. You say a lot of stuff. Yeah, you do.

It was good. It was like, hey, it's worth a shot. And my house sold. Could that have been because your house was in a really great part of town that was really growing? I mean, it's pretty good. Pretty good house. Yeah, it was just really crazy. And the market was like crazy.

Yeah, market was fantastic. I hadn't even gone live yet. And I get a phone call. Amy selling your house is like a live stream. And it was like, hey, can we show your house? And I was like, when? And tonight, what? It's not clean.

So the kids and I power clean for like three hours. And then we loaded the animals up in the car. We drove away and they came to look at the house. And then we got a phone call. They wanted to buy it. And I was like, wow, I put that post-it note in my mailbox. Let me do your numerology because I just learned how to do some of it. Okay.

I'm not so deep in it. But Eddie, give me your- Well, hold on, hold on. Could they tell you, like, you're going to be poor for the rest of your life? I'm not sure. Just follow that. That's cool. But this is not real.

You can change anything. Okay. So. Oh, they nailed the two of you guys. But what if? There's, Okay, what do you want to do? What do you need?

Give me your birthday. Can I text it to you? We all know you're 50, dude. It's okay. All right, March 21st. So that would be 321. In what year? 79.

Nineteen 79. So we got three plus two is five, six, seven, plus nine. is 15, 22, so it's 31. You nervous any? Very. Hold on. 31 and then two. Oh, okay.

Then three plus one is four. Yes. So you do it. I'm on it. I'm rocking it over here. I'm double checking you. Are you fact checking? Yeah.

Amy? Good. And so you are a four. Wildly rich. And so, hold on. Come on, man. Life path number four. Oh, man.

Live path number. Is that sound familiar? Live path number four? Uh-oh. He's not liking what he sees. No, it's not that. Okay. He's laughing.

He's laughing. No, no, no. I'm serious, dude. If it says you're going to be broke for the rest of your life, I don't want to hear it. It's not. Everything's positive in this crap, especially early on. The builder and the hard worker. This is what they say you are. Yeah, pretty much.

I'm a hard worker. If you're a life path number four, you are practical, disciplined, and hardworking. You thrive on structure, stability, and long-term success, often acting as a foundation for those around you. Yeah. Nailed it. This is not you. I'm going to tell you why. Just take the work out of it. I'm going to tell you why. There's more. No, that's a big part. No, no. Not like you guys, but like my home. I am the foundation of our house. I'm not arguing with that point, but let me read you something. And I'm a hard worker. I'm not. Okay. So number one, hardworking and determined. You have a strong work ethic and believe in effort over luck.

Okay, let's just say, let's just. That's not me. That's definitely not. Practical and logical. You approach life with common sense and rational thinking. Yes. Reliable and loyal. People trust you because you're consistent and dependable. Yes.

Organized and detail-oriented. You prefer structure and routines. Negative. Traditional and discipline. You value stability, long-term plant. No. No, that's not me. Challenges can be rigid or resistant.

No, you're not rigid. Yeah, no, not rigid. See, this is all stupid. Are you sure we did the math right? Yeah, but that's just... Yeah, because if it's 3. 1979, 3 plus 2 is 5 plus 1 is 6. Eddie.

Plus 1 is 7 plus 9 is 16. 16 plus 7 is 26. 26. I might have done the math wrong. Oh, okay. Now we're talking. This makes sense. Wow.

Hold on. Hold on. 5, 6, 7 plus 9 is 16. 23. Oh, I missed it by 1. Even with Amy fact check? 32. No, I didn't fact check the whole thing.

I fact checked 31, 3 plus 1 is 4. Yeah, I did the math wrong. There were a lot of numbers quick here. Eddie, you're a five. Let's go. Come on. What's five? Wildly rich.

Life path five. Don't need retirement. Because it's going to come anyway because you're going to be wildly rich. I don't think it says that stuff in this. The person that did mine did a whole numerology thing where they pulled out all these charts and all this crap. It took me like 30 minutes. Okay. Yours is like the free version.

Yours is the free spirit. He's the friend. He's the friend. He's the influencer. Yeah. I'm not a hippie. but I'm a free spirit. You are a free spirit. Okay. Adventures. Boom. Love it. And freedom loving. You resist routine. This is way more of you.

Yes. Because you were not the other one. Not really. I had a couple. Charismatic and social. That's me. Risk taker and opportunistic, maybe in other parts. May avoid responsibility or stability in pursuit of fun. Yeah. But you've learned to balance freedom with responsibility. Tends to overindulge in pleasures. Love travel. food. Yeah, that's on me for adding wrong. The money, money, money. Okay. Dude, I swear to God, I'm looking.

Wildly rich. Challenges where you're passionate, spontaneous. You need a partner who gives you space and trusts you. Your mission in life is to experience the world fully, and inspire others to embrace change. That is me. Great boundaries, explore new ideas. It doesn't say anything about money. Let me ask, let me see. Okay. Uh-oh. It's not good, Amy. Path 5 when it comes to, I guess it's life path. Yeah, life path. It says, Bobby, so I looked it up quickly.

It says it depends on how they channel their natural talents and manage their challenges. Interesting. I don't know that you manage. I don't have a manager. That's not what I mean. Life 10.5 and money. The relationship with wealth and finances. Yes.

If you have a life path number 5, your relationship with money is often tied to freedom, adventure, and flexibility rather than strict budgeting and financial stability. Totally. So see, that's where the... We don't budget. But long term, though. You do budget, though. You got out of debt. I did.

I did get out of debt. You know how to budget. That's because the fire was lit and I was like, I need to get out of debt. Now that we're out of debt, I'm like, let a rip. Impulsive spending is a pitfall, it says? No, no. Inconsistent saving habits. Impulsive spending would be gambling too, dude.

Yeah, but I have $50 a month. I hear you. It's all I have. You want more. I love more. But do you do more if you win more? Say you have the 50 and you're up. Oh, I've gone five months without putting any money in

and I just make more and I play more, yeah. I wonder what mine would be. I'll do my quickly. I mean, that's pretty good. Add the math up. Six, seven, and nine is 16 and eight is 24. Six. Let's see if this is right.

You can double check mine, Amy. Life path's six. Life path six. This is not right on me. I might have to add to this wrong. this could not be any more wrong on me six seven sixteen

yeah mine's wrong mine could not be more wrong mine's life path six you is the nurturer and caregiver family oriented it could be you though it's not like I'm not a nurturer

can be overly sacrificing might struggle with setting boundaries nope I win the Olympics in boundary setting yeah I don't feel like this is me Oh, it does say Eh, anyway, I'm kind of bored anyway But yeah, I'd want to come in and do a whole chart

And they pulled up all the stars And they did numbers and then stars And they were like, you're going to be wildly rich And I was like, you say that to everybody You say that to all the girls That's pretty awesome Anyway, all the planets are going to line up It's going to be magical

And that you can see it with binoculars That's cool. Like usually you needed like a whole telescope Or something to see all that stuff I like that. In recent years you might have heard Talk about a potential project That would see an undersea tunnel

creating New York City with London the transatlantic tunnel has been backed by Elon Musk who says he can create the thing for a thousand times less than the $19 trillion figure tunnels underwater are crazy but this would be a 3,400 mile trip

that can be done through vacuum tubes which will make it possible to complete the journey in 54 minutes current calculations suggest building the transatlantic tunnel would take about 780 years but it's got to start somewhere Stop!

I think what would happen is... That's ridiculous. With the technology we have today, it would take 780 years, but you do it with the understanding of technology will get faster, we'll learn more as we're doing it. And hopefully it's like setting a GPS and then beating that time. You set your GPS, it's like 53 minutes. You're like, I can beat that.

I can be there in 48 minutes. I love doing that. Yeah, you race your GPS. That would be basically what this would require. Like, with what we know now, 740 years. But hopefully we can get it done in 63 years. Gosh, that'd be crazy. Police and Columbia caught a man with more than $10,000 in cocaine into his wig.

He had sewed it into his wig. Oh, that's cool. TMZ has a story. Columbia's National Police were shocked when they busted a guy trying to board a plane wearing a narco wig, a disguise hiding 42 million Colombian pesos, which was about $10,000, United States, worth of cocaine. I'd be so nervous.

And what did his hair look like? Was it like just really poofed up? You wonder, too, if he had long hair and then shaved it off, and then put a wig that looked like his original hair with all the stuff tied into it because he has to have a picture. You have to have a picture to board, especially if you're going anything overseas.

Like they look at a picture to make sure it's you whenever you get to go to the check. Yeah, but you've seen my ID. But I'm saying if you're bald and then you have all of a sudden you have long hair, they're not going to go for it. They're going to be like, this is not you. Or something's weird.

That's smart. Or if you have long hair, you shave it and then you put more hair on top. No one's going to think anything different about your hair because it looks normal. That's good point. Yeah, but that's what's up. Yeah, that's why they decided to inspect his hair.

This doesn't look right. Hey, man, they're cutting it off his head. It looked like the hair system that you had. Oh, it was a system? And underneath it, it looks like it's lined with all these cocaine packs, but it looks like it's marshmallows, like flat marshmallows, all underneath it. And that went onto his head. And they're cutting it off.

And he's there just like, yeah, you got me. What's funny now is I can. tell when someone's wearing a system. Like 100%. Watching TV, like, dude's got a system. Really? Yeah, I can tell now. It's all about the line, the front line. It's just, it doesn't look 100% natural

because that line is usually like, yours did. No. No, and then in the Jeep, dude, when the wind would blow, that line would start rattling a little bit. I thought yours was great. Yeah, I thought so too. I thought was great. I kind of like the bald feel now. Yeah, but you weren't bald then.

That is actually what created the look now because you had to shave your head to put that on and then you just stayed bald. So I would say you grew from that hair system. Sure. Because you would never shave your head bald. I think because of the hair system, this is what I decided to go with. Okay, let's do a mid roll. We'll break.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clipper Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

get your pocket hat. Let's do some voicemails. Number one, Dylan from Arizona. Hey, or holidays that your kids get out of school or as you were growing up because around here we get out for rodeo break. My kids got out Thursday and Friday for rodeo break. So I was just curious how different it was in other parts of the country. That's really interesting.

We used to get out the first couple days of deer season because everybody would Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, because everybody would miss. So, and there are a certain amount of days that they can distribute to do whatever. I'm not sure what they are, but I know there are days they pick. And so we got out the first two days of deer season, basically, every year. Not at first, but everybody would miss. So they were like, well, just put these days here since nobody's coming anyway.

That's awesome. You? Normal stuff, teachers in service. Yeah, I didn't have anything like that, no. But I mean, I wish I grew up somewhere where we got off a rodeo day. Got to have a lot of rodeos. I know, but that's, that would mean I would. was in that world growing up. I always wanted to be in the rodeo world. You did. Yes, my half

sister, that's how they grew up. They grew up in West Texas. They would have Rattlesnake Roundup. They would do all the dances and show their animals. What did you want to do? I just wanted to have that life. I wanted to like have a small town. I wanted to be in future farmers of America, but like legit. No, but I mean in the rodeo. What was your event? Roping? No, I want to just be a part of it. Like I don't need to be in the rodeo. Ooh. Mutton busting? I mean, well, if I was a kid, but yeah, if I was a writer, if I rode horses or something, but I don't have to be an athlete participating. I just want to be in it.

Like, you go to it, you do the dance, the concerts, but you're like a part of it. Like, you know everybody. Did you feel like Austin kind of, but not really like it was like posery a little bit? No, Austin had that. My sister would come to town for the Austin Live Stock and Rodeo. She goes to Dallas, Fort Worth, for that stuff. Now her kids do it. So she's, my sister's still doing it.

But that's their world. That's their life. Like they have trucks and they haul animals. But I guess my point is if you celebrated Rodeo Day, that would mean it would be all the time. Like, or significant in the city. Austin, it really wasn't significant. It was kind of a thing coming through town. Right.

Right. But she would come to town for that sort of stuff. I mean, I'm sure some people in Austin were very involved in that. But I just didn't. Yeah, I didn't get off school for it. Didn't live that life. But I always wanted it. Eddie?

We didn't have a really like a day that we always got off, but I'll never forget when Selena died. We all got the day off. That's a cultural day off. That was a big deal down there. Morgan, what about Kansas? I don't think we had any specialty days. Shucking corn?

No, there was no like, you know, Shuck and week season and this is happening. I don't think there was any of that. But to Eddie's point, I mean, I do remember 9-11, we got out of school. They released all of us. Yeah, we did too. I think 9-11 was a whole different. Sure.

All of America did that. Let's do voicemail number two. Good morning and howdy Bobby Bowen show. So I wanted to comment on the howdy for the state's thing for Arizona. It's actually a big deal here, especially in Pima County. The rodeo is a big deal out of here. So the kids actually get Thursdays and Fridays off of school. It's such a big deal.

So the kids can go to the parade, go to the rodeo. People from all over the world come and compete. So howdy is actually very appropriate for Arizona. God bless. Two rodeo calls? And back to back, I didn't know that was going to do that. Howdy? Yeah, I don't know.

Howdy to me. live there though and I said that because people in Arizona wanted howdy as official greeting like I'm sure there is a selection of folks but unfairly I don't think of Arizona as a howdy state I think a more cowboy hats as howdy and I'm sure there are a lot of cowboys in Arizona for sure sure ranches and everything but I think of Arizona as a hey what's up normal traditional greeting from being in Phoenix or Scottsdale or Tucson or um but I'm sure howdy works with a large collection Arizonaians? Scoob is that what they're called

Arizona? I honestly don't know. I just calling people from Arizona. It's got to have something. What do we think it is? I think it's Arizonians? Arizona has a nice ring to it. It sounds cool.

Zoners? Zoners is even better. That would be better. Yeah. planet. Let's go number three. I heard y'all talking about tipping. I do DoorDash. We only get $2 per order. It doesn't matter if it's going five miles, 10 miles or one mile. That's how they pay us. You should let your listeners know that because I know a lot of people think we make all this money when we don't. We work for tips. Okay, so I don't want people to be confused here. She's not talking

about the money they make for tips. They get $2 per order into DoorDash regardless. If it's a mile or 10 miles and then that's why they depend on tipping. So she's not saying we only get $2 regardless of what you tip because I think it could have been misconstruiting that. So she's saying for every order DoorDash pays us $2. That's it. And they rely on tipping to actually make their money. That's crazy. Because they're probably spending close to that in gas just picking it up and going. Make sense? Yeah. Did it sound like she was talking about tipping at first? Like that's what they make. No, but I was, I'm just taking in that I didn't know what they actually made or how they got paid other than tips. So that is helpful to know.

Ray, I hear you can't do Uber anymore. Yeah, my driver's license expired. So they said I had to redo all the documentation and submitting a forms. And I just decided the time has come that I think I'm done with Uber. I did a couple rides, made some fast cash from it. It was a good run, but I'm not going to renew any of my documents. How'd that work where they paid you? Is there a set rate for like this?

like it's just five bucks every time, or does it matter how far you travel? Yeah, I think I got, it did matter, but they were in Nashville. Every ride's pretty much the exact same distance, but it was two rides, seven miles, and I got right around a dollar a mile, so it was $14, and they paid me next day. Straight to my bank account, no taxes. It's up to you to take out the taxes. Wait, you only did two Uber drives ever? I thought you did more than that. I thought you did at least a couple days. I wanted to. It would be a Friday night, and I'd look at my app, and there would be 20 people that wanted me, and it would show the prices how much I can get for each one. I thought, and wife would always say, would you please just chill with me?

You don't need a second job. And I was like, all right. You did all the work to do it just to drive twice? What's the work you had to do to be accepted? You got to submit your birth certificate, probably your driver's license, how you're a driver, your driver history. For two drives? You did all that and only did two drives?

I wanted to do more. I really did, but it was on the weekends and my wife wanted me to be off. I always feel like when I order Uber E'd say for sure, If there's two people in the car, one of them ate my food a little bit. If there was anything open, and there are two people. I don't always think that with one. But if there are two, I think that for sure they've had a couple little bites. If there's anything loose.

Like fries, I know they had a couple fries. Like I don't know, no, but I feel like they probably did. So like how much is Uber, like, what is the caller? She was what? She worked for who? DoorDash. DoorDash. So there's the price of the food, right?

Say it's like $15. Yes. And then what do they add? So there's a fee, a delivery fee. and she's saying that of the delivery fee, she's only getting $2 of it because the delivery fee can be anything from $3, $4, $5, $10.

Okay. So there's a delivery fee and they're taking her money out of the fee and they're getting a significant part of the money too. Okay, okay. And then the tip, I know on Uber Reets it says the tip fully goes to... The driver.

The person who's driving. I don't use DoorDash. I used to use it more. I just now dial into one, whichever one it was, I don't know why I settle on Uber Eats for now because I just like to give it information so it can tell me what I like.

So I don't think that one's better than the other because they've all been good. But for some reason, I settled on Uber Eats because they had more information because the more I order stuff at certain times, if I go back to it, it's like, this is your normal. You may also like this. I use both. Like if you do delivery or pickup or when you're in, like say you're at Chipotle, say you get a bowl, it's $10. But on the app, it's going to be.

11 or 12. Sure. So then, but that's sneaky. Because it's not part of the, like your delivery price. It's just like everything's more expensive. But you may not realize,

like I didn't realize that was happening until when I... Does that make sure money go to the restaurant or the... DoorDash, I guess. I have been trying to limit my Uber Eatsing. I can get out of control with that. That's been the one thing I've really tried to cut out. Because it's awesome. You just click and food shows up.

I know. It's like magic. Teenagers have this weird thing of like now they just want to, and, you know, my daughter and her friends, they work. And they door dash something the other day. And I was like, do you realize how much you just paid for this? Because she's paying for it. They paid for it with their own money, her and her friend.

And her friend works at Publix and then Stasheera has a job as well. But I was like, so you're, how much you get paid at Publix? And she tells me per hour. And I'm like, what you just, you just door dash some popcorn that took you two hours of work. Like to pay for this microwave popcorn, like y'all could have gotten in the car and driven to the store. What's our response? They just were like, yeah, what was worth it?

We were really craving it and we didn't want to leave. And I'm like, wow. I know. But I was like, I just couldn't believe it. It's all priority. And so. I know. And they had their own job.

Like I would freak out if I was a parent and that was my, I saw a bill. And I'm like, that's so irresponsible. I can't believe you just paid that much for popcorn when you could have. So. But I just did that. with my kids and gas. Like they're just like, dad, why do you always go like that way to get gas?

I'm like, let me show you something. So I took them to, if I took a left out of my neighborhood and went like half a mile, the gas there was $3.50 a gallon. If I went to my right to another part of town for like same, same distance, it was $2.50 a gallon. And they're like, what the crap is that? What?

Oh, dude, it's crazy. The way it's zoned in this town, if it's a nice neighborhood, it's, It's a super expensive gas. If it's a poor neighborhood, it's so cheap. And they're just like, okay, so I made them do the math. I'm like, all, how much a gallon? We just got 15 gallons of gas.

How much is that? How much did we save? It was a great lesson. Daddy can gamble on basketball now because we bought different gas. Let's go the next one. Ray, Hannah from Indiana. Good morning, Bobby Bone Show. I'm a podcast listener, and I work third shift.

So I call and I leave voicemails, and I was curious. Like, how does the voicemail process work? Like, who listens to them? Do they get listened to every day? And if they do get listened to, man, you guys have a killer team because I can only imagine the amount of voicemails that you get, especially for me. It's a great question because I don't know that I know the full answer to that. So my best guess is we have a program, much like your iPhone, if you get a text and it's a voice memo, it will read out the voice memo too. you. Do you have that? Okay. I'm assuming that's what we have scuba, right, where you see all the

messages and it does its best job to write out what the messages say? Yeah, and it's usually 85% incorrect. So then I have to go through and listen to every single one of them. Really? And then find the ones that are usable of those thousands that we get over a few day period. And I'll have to say this. Just if you guys are sending a voicemail, please keep it to like 30 seconds or less. The ones that are three to five minutes, they just really irk me. I would assume, and I wouldn't, that you don't listen to anything three to five minutes. I would stop and be like, unless it's something just so compelling or something. Yeah, usually don't listen to James for Virginia because he'll leave a long one and it's usually

I can find nuggets in there to edit it down to like 20, 30 seconds. But anyone else, if it's over a minute and a half, two minutes, you're wasting your time. So scuba will go through. And this is very similar to how Mike goes to the mailbag, because there's so many. I don't even look. Are you judging mailbag off of subjects? Subjects, sometimes there's search phrases too. I'll be like, this is an interesting topic.

Let's see if anybody said anything. Yeah. And then I'll find something like, oh, here's a good one. And you can't possibly read every one of them fully, right? No, it's impossible. There's thousands of emails in there. Yeah. And we don't want to encourage people not to send it in, but...

No, yeah, please send it in. But if you really want to get on the air, the parameters are say your name, where you're calling from, and then give me a good solid 30 seconds, maybe 45 seconds of what you're trying to get on the air, question, feedback, whatever. I would say with the mailbag in the subject line, put something good in there. Get a good hook. Yeah. Penis.

Not penis. What are you going to say? Well, I was thinking sometimes you can tell that people get nervous and they may ramble on, but people will type out what they want to say. And they kind of. Oh, yeah, they read a script for them. Yes, they say like, hey, which, you know, it's good to just go free flow. But if you really want to be concise, because I could probably ramble, ramble, ramble on. Yeah.

Yeah, leave us a voicemail. 877. 77 Bobby is the number. We do see them all, but at first it is very much a preview and then scuba will go in on the things he thinks is interesting, right? Fair? Yeah, fair, yeah, yeah.

Let's go with the next one, Ray. You know, I listen to this station all the time, but for some reason, whoever's selecting the songs, you're driving me nuts because you're playing the same thing. songs over and over. There are a million of country songs out there. Please change the divisions.

I hear you. I can talk you through kind of why it happens. I'm so not involved in the music process. I mean, at all. I can take a song I really like and play it. And I do that occasionally, but I'm not involved in music selection at all. So there are a couple different things that happen. One, the local stations that were on, they have the ability, they're supposed to play a couple songs an hour, right? So, Scuba?

Yeah, yeah. Locally, they, they, they're talking about with our affiliates. Yeah, do they, they have a couple places they can play a song, right? There's a couple of filler spots, yes. Okay. So they could be playing the song, or because we're a national show and we don't play that much music, the only songs that you're going to hear on our show as scheduled by, I don't know, who does it, Gator?

Yeah. Gator, not Rod? I think Rod approves it, but Gator schedules it. It's all. Katie, I think, puts it into the system. Heavily researched, meaning they do these things online where they go, listen to these songs. Tell us what you like. And that's really how they pick the songs.

So nobody's sitting there for the most part just going, I like the song, let's play it. And on our show, on the national sections, they're picking the biggest seven or eight songs that are the big hits right then. Or a song that is, quote, testing as a recurrent, like an older song from the 2000s, even the 90s, that's testing really high with the same audience. So you're going to hear that. Now, if you hear a new song twice, it means you've probably listened for two hours. Or you've come back within the last two hours. Again, based on research, most people do not have the ability to listen for any more than like 12 minutes. So what they do as programmers, and this doesn't happen in the country world. It happens more in the pop world. But it does happen here. They will take a song and go, well, the average person is only listening for 12 minutes. minutes. In 90 minutes, we'll play the biggest song again because, yes, there might be some burn

with some people, but it will be better overall because there will be playing a massive hit for different audiences, and that's a better benefit than having the burn from that select few that are able to last for the two hours. So there's math there, even with our segments. Like if we're, if it's like a early, early segment that crushes, and I used to not do this, but we'll play it again two and a half hours later because the people that heard it at 530 are not going to be listening at 730. Now, as a podcast listener, you're never going to hear that because unless there's a screw up, you won't hear that same segment doubled. But it's also why we do a lot of extra work on the podcast, where we do post shows. We do segments that are just on the podcast that don't go on the radio.

So that is based on the amount of time someone listens to the radio. through whatever research they have and they're doing. But I completely understand how that would be frustrating. Like, I feel that. Also, for us, for me, we don't listen to songs while we're here. If we do happen to play a song, we play like if we do two or three an hour, if there's a song on, like I'm looking at notes, I'm talking with Mike, hey, hand me this, do you want to do this?

We don't like jam music. Restroom break. Yeah, go to the bathroom. And then it's back in in three minutes. So I got to hear you. and you're absolutely right for feeling that way, but know that you are an anomaly, someone who listens for that long,

or you could be someone who just comes back and hear the same thing. I hope I explained that in a way that made sense. Let's do Eduardo from Jacksonville, North Carolina. Hey, morning, Bobby. I saw you on the post show, giving up the shoes, wear a size 10 and a half, trying to see if I could maybe get those with your autograph. That'd be really dope, man.

Appreciate everything you do. Peace out. I love that Pedro and Eduardo, where the two guys are. Pedro's on until tomorrow. is get his number scuba I got you yeah

and we'll put them on funny all right now okay cool give me one second you want to put them on right now no no no

we'll let him play a game we'll put it on later in the week all right let's do it yeah um all right there's that

see if there's anything else before we go I mean we can play no we're good Ray how much what do we got both parts it's a great question

are we long enough 23 on both parts or just this part 23 on this one I think the first one was about 20 so we're good okay

Thank you guys. We're going to wrap up the post show for today, and then we will see you guys tomorrow. All right, bye, everybody.
