Speaker 1 (07:30):
I want to say they're taken carbon monoxide, which helps us.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, car carbon oxygen.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Gas from the air. Your answer is carbon monoxide. When
you said it the first time, me adding amy, I
had to lower a head.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I couldn't You will die from carbon monoxide? Points carbon dioxide?
You were you were you were dancing around and you
said it, but you didn't commit.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
To it, and it was carbon dioxide.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, so we breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide.
Plants to the opposite. Okay, so you're kind of right.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah, but I don't know why I was saying carbon
dioxide like they helped breathe it in, so we.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Don't take believe. Your car running in your garage, you
get carbon dioxide poisoning. It's oxides. Hey, Boner, you've been
boo much box Winner, it's aymous anonymous in bo there's
(08:33):
a question to be Hello, Bobby Bones, get married soon.
My fiance is a professional writer. Everyone expects his valves
to be incredible, and honestly, they will be. The pressure
has been getting to me to write because it's not
my strength. I ended up using AI to help me
(08:54):
organize my thoughts and put my feelings into words. The
emotions and stories are all mine, but AI help with
the actual writing. I feel guilty, like I'm cheating. Should
I feel bad? Or is it no different than asking
a friend for help? Signed writer's blog Bride. You should
not feel bad because if you are putting in actual
(09:16):
details of your life and writing is not your strength
and you are insecure about it, I don't think you
should feel bad at all for using a tool if
something was broken at your house, they're like, well, I
had to use a ranch instead of my hands. Should
I feel bad? No, use a tool. That's a tool,
so you should not. I'm not going to shame you
(09:37):
for even if you went to AI and go it
just write me some crap. I'm not going to shame you.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh I like that she entered in her actual feelings
and stories.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I'm just not going to shame anybody for this, especially
if it's not your thing and you didn't want to
write the vast.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, but that would hurt if you found that out.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, if you found it out. But no shame from
me for this, because you're using it as a tool.
That's what I like. Put a bunch of stuff in there. Hey,
help me organize this, help me say what I want
to say. Here are the things in our life, and
what it's going to do is basically, when I wrote
my books, I had an editor, I had a human AI.
(10:12):
I would write all this stuff, and you know what
they did, They said, Okay, let's organize it, let's do
this here here. What if you did this, what if
we had this, it's the same thing. Do you feel
bad about that? No?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Because that's the process.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Hey, no, no, I wanted more of it, made it better.
Don't feel bad you're doing and don't feel bad about
something you're doing at any point. If there's goodness in
your heart about it, it may not end up well
and you can look back and go well, do reflecting.
I would do that differently. But if you have like
genuinely goodness in your heart when you do something, you
(10:46):
shouldn't feel bad going into it. That's usually my rule
of left thumb. I got a rule of right thumb too.
What's up? Don't feed after dark? Don't get them wet.
Oh that's Gremlins, okay, sold movie. Yeah that's the old Gremlins.
I got this, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, there you go,
(11:06):
do your thing. Don't feel bad. That's my opinion. I
also enjoy AI and needs it all the time for research,
So all right, close it up. Sting the singer, can
you name a song?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Mmm?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I can't off the top of my head. If you
give me a hint for sure, osent.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Police, yeah or message and a bah A lot. He's
a lot. He does not own the rights to his name. Sting,
the registered owner with the US Patent Office, is pro
wrestler Sting. Oh but he lets him use the name anyway. Wow,
and police Sting came first, right, And do you know
(11:50):
who my favorite wrestler of all time is?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Sting?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Now do you know who's I've never interviewed that he's
on my white whale list mount actual more of white whales.
I've never been able to get saying, not the singer,
the wrestler. Wow. Yes, fun fact Friday, Amy, your up.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Well, this is sort of depressing but also fun. The
blue lights on train platforms in Japan have been shown
to reduce the chance that someone will jump in front
of a speeding drain. They had to do this because
people were doing that, and when they changed the lighting,
it helped curb suicides.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I'm a big fan of curbing suicides. Same. Yeah, So
it's interesting.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
So the light, like say, the yellow light, when people
saw that, they were like, ah, just do it.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
But the blue They say that blue lighting reduced suicide
attempts by eighty four percent, and it's believed the blue
registers a calming effect associated with the sky and the sea,
which might be soothing to people in distress.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
According to Psychology Today.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Like I said, you know what, I'm a big advocate
of so this is more like not having suicides. Yes, interesting,
all right, lunchbox.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Antonio Swad I don't know if that's how you say
his last name s w A D. He created a restaurant,
Pizza Patron. He had a pizza restaurant, had a couple
of chains, like you know what, I'm gonna start a
new restaurant. He started wing stock or you just go
get wings. And here's the crazy part. He was a vegetarian.
(13:25):
Got to try it on food?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
He never tried.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
He just did the sauces and he would bring people
over and say, hey, taste this.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How does it taste? Is the chicken good? All right,
I'm gonna go open a wing store and boom.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
But you know, the pizza patron pizzas were pretty good.
Those were in a comedian stores mostly remember that, No,
do they still? I was big Totino's. That was the
four Tonies. Do you know, guys know the song from
the Four Toonies?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Huh huh?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You know you got there. There's multiples. So which one
do you want to do? Because if we do them,
you gotta nail the second or third or fourth one? Okay?
Do you know how to do it it. Maybe no,
we can't do Maybe you just want to wing it
and say yes, you mean do you know how to
do it? Eddie? I think so, Mike, No, I definitely
do No. You know you don't. There's no chance. Okay,
(14:12):
well we can come on. Let her rip. Okay, I'll
do the fourth. I'll do one, Eddie do two, and
you do three. I'll come back with four. Okay, m
keep going. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna blow up. My
(14:37):
boys are gonna blow up. I think you get the idea.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Though.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Commercial for the four Tonys and they did Totino's Pizzas. Yes,
I think fortunately.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The commercial people came up with that.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh no, no, it's a song too back in the day.
Little bitty pretty one watching that to me? Yeah, Morgan. So.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Abraham Lincoln is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
He's six foot four and he's only had one loss
among three hundred contestants, and he had a reputation for
being a fighter in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Do you know who he lost to? Sting Your favorite wrestler?
My favorite wrestler? Yeah, yeah, I knew was the wrestler.
Pretty crazy. I never knew that Lunchbox already did yours good.
I never know. I got a fact, I get a
plan here on order, we're going in. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
We took a song break counterclockwise, now I'll do another one.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
The fake money they used in Rush Hour two looks
so real that some of the extras took it and
tried to spend it, and the secret Service wound up
raiding the prop company that made it, seizing the money
and accusing the company of using that as a way
to counterfeit money.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
The proper company gets in trouble for.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I think they saw it as a way to make
real money. Yeah, and that was their way out, Like, no,
we're making this for the movie. Yeah yeah, Eddie. Oh okay,
this might be the cutest thing ever see otters. When
they sleep at night, they hold hands. Have you ever
seen the videos? No, there's a video of not just
nice daytime too.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
They're laying on their back holding the hand and then
they're just like spinning in the water.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
That is too cute because the currents are so strong
that like they hold hands so they don't separate.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Can you name the highest grossing actor of all time?
A dollar if you can everybody gets one guess and
Amy the Rock Lunchbox, you can guess the same person.
If you want, you'll both just get a dollar.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
No, no, no, no, Vin Diesel Morgan, Tom Cruise, Eddy,
Tom Hanks, Stanley who's a Oh wow, a Marvel the
creator of all of that, because he's in every Marvel
movie until he died.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
He's in every one of them. So it's movies made
more money than anything else can buy. If I say catfish,
what do you think of?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I think of catfishing people? Yeah, I don't think of
like fried catfish.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You think of getting on the Internet and making someone
think you're someone and you're not.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Right because of the show on MTV, right, catfish?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So did you ever watch the documentary that started the
show on MTV And the guy who did the show
on MTV was catfished and they did the whole documentary
and it was him going, oh my god, did you
guys watch the documentary? Oh yeah, that's when it all started.
It is crazy. That blew my mind. So the guy's
name is Neve and I was talking with them. So
he created the documentary and then had the show on
(17:26):
MTV for like ten years and we just talked about
catfishers and who he confronted all this. So this is
Neve Shulman, the host of Catfish, the creator of Catfish.
Here we Go. Did you find in all of the
years of the show that most of the catfishing was
(17:49):
people being selfish doing it for their own entertainment or loneliness,
or trying to get money out of people.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Obviously, in the sort of almost three hundred episodes that
we did, it was a pretty interesting mix of motives.
I would say, if I had to guess, most of
the people who were catfishing for money would not have
agreed to come on the show because they were, you know,
sort of scamming people. For the most part, of the
people who would agree to come on the show are
(18:14):
the ones who did genuinely create the profile to communicate,
make friends, explore some part of their personality or sexuality
or identity, and then kind of accidentally stumbled into the relationship,
had real feelings and didn't know kind of how to
handle it. But again, that's through the microscope of the show.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That's more mostly what we saw. Yeah, I think for.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Every episode of the show, I'm sure there's hundreds of
people are who got catfished by someone who just was
trying to get money out of them. We did have
a couple episodes like that. We even shockingly got like
a Nigerian prince scammer to agree to I don't think
he face timed with us, but he got on the
phone or maybe he faced time.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, he did FaceTime and.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Admit that like he you know, took the money from
this poor guy who was so sweet because he you know,
he lives in he's poor, he lives somewhere in Africa,
and he's got a girlfriend that he wants to propose to,
and he was trying to save some enough money for
a ring. And so the guy, the sweet guy who
got catfished, said, Hey, I had a ring that I
(19:24):
had bought for you that I'll send that you can
use to I mean, like kind of amazing story because
he felt bad for the guy.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know, wow, yeah, still had the empathy sympathy to
give the guy that was scamming him a ring to
give to his girl. Yeah. Wow, if that were today,
they had created like a GoFundMe for that dude and
he'd made like a million bucks. Yeah, maybe for a
nice guy there probably was go fund me then, but yeah, wow,
(19:53):
that's wild.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Well what's the crazy thing is that guy had to
remain anonymous ish because it is a in that country
they have It's a huge issue for a lot of
those countries and they're trying to crack down on it.
So it was kind of a big risk for him
to even come on the show and admit it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
How did you get some of the folks to even
come on? Was there a lot of coaxing with some
of them? I mean, look, that wasn't my job really.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I obviously did interact with them, and at any point
they could have decided to change their mind and not
meet up with us. But I think what made the
show unique and successful for as long as it was
is that we were really a platform, a safe, empathetic,
objective platform for people to hash it out, come clean,
(20:38):
reveal themselves, you know, tell their secrets, admit to their wrongdoings,
and not get excoriated and made fun of, but sort
of be heard and listened to. And I think for
that reason, people felt comfortable and sort of drawn to
the show.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So Neive is the guy that did the documentary cat
and he got catfished, and then the MTV show for
a decade where people were faking like somebody they're not
on the internet, and I'd asked him like, did you
ever get the people together? And then they fell in
love for real? And so he was talking about that.
Here you go. Was there ever an instance where the
(21:18):
catfish and the person they were tricking ever actually did
fall in love after.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah, we had a few minor successes where they kind
of agreed to go on some dates. But our one
real true like love story was we had an episode
where a girl was talking to this guy. They had
been speaking for a while, they were really into each other,
and then we went to meet him and it turns
(21:42):
out he had presented himself as a white guy and
he was actually black, and you know it, just a
sort of very nice looking, average, sort of nerdy black
guy who I don't think it really lied about that
much other than his appearance, and the girl didn't really care.
I guess she was still attracted to him, and they
had a kid, and as far as I know, they're
married and still together, which is great.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And that's probably because he didn't lie about everything, right, right,
I mean, I'm sure he left out things about his
life because it didn't fit with the sort of version
he had presented.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
But that was actually there was a whole conversation that
didn't make the episode that I was kind of bummed
about because he the black guy, he did not identify
with or associate with his sort of black culture. He
felt almost like he was sort of born into the
wrong body, which which was a really interesting conversation with
(22:35):
his family, like I think his mom and his sister
who were kind of I think a little hurt that
they that they felt like, what's wrong with black culture?
What's wrong with our family? Like why don't you feel
like this is the right place for you? And it
was very interesting dynamic to kind of sort sort out
but needless stay that worked out ye.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Really cool episode. You can go check out Neve from Catfish.
It's up on the Bobby Cast. It's a podcast you
can subscribe to download to. I guess you don't download

I also wanted to tell you I go to the
gym every day and I laugh out loud when I'm
listening to the show. And after two or three days
of it, because I go at the same time so
the same people are there, they finally stopped me today
and asked me what am I listening to? So I
(24:37):
told them the Bobby Bone Show. Love you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That was a very kind voicemail. Thank you for sending that.

wears a hoodie, but he wears a tuxedo to go
on the Price is Right, Price is Right, tuxedo National
(25:31):
Awards show.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
A hoodie? Would you like to respond first?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Yeah, the tuxedo at Price is Right was to stick out,
to be different from the crowd. And a hoodie at
an award show. I thought it was a nice hoodie.
I got it at an Ordstrom and so I no
one told me anything otherwise.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I showed up in a hoodie.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
No one told me that I wasn't supposed to wear
a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
It was a night. It was like a dress city.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
It wasn't like a pash here several years ago.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So we won the CMA and it did say black
tie and lunchbox war hoodie and it was a bit
but it was real. But you did wear a hoodie,
and I was like, how can you wear a hoodie
do a black tie event where everybody else is dressed up.
We've moved on beyond that. I didn't know he was
going to do that. The tuxedo was my idea that
he wore on prices right, because I said, you should
wear a tuxedo because nobody else will. So it was
(26:22):
not my idea for him to wear a hoodie. And
we've been to that award.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Show before, like he knows that you wear a nice
suit or a taxedar.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I don't want to revisit it, honestly, we've we've done it.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
I still feel like they should said that in the
first line of the email. It's buried in the middle
of the email, way down there, and you just totally
miss it.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
A lot of times it was a dress. It was
like it was like a cow pattern.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
It looks like an adult coloring book.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
On I'm looking at the picture. Everybody is in full
tie suit, jewels, and in the middle, let's walk is
in a hoodie. I don't want to get I don't
want to get back into it. Literally, the purpose was
I didn't know what he was wearing. There. I gave
him advice on what to word of price is right.
If I could have given him advice for the CMAS,
(27:13):
I would have said anything but a hoodie. That would
have been my advice. Even a tuxedo. Yeah, what if
Jelly Roll showed up in a hoodie? Would it be
a problem. Jelly Roll is an artist and is very famous.
You're in neither of those.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Would that have been okay, that's cool. Everybody would have
said it's cool, not Jelly Roll. So it depends on
who it is.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, that's life.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
If it's fashion, it's fashion, that's not fashion that you
would be fashioned.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Because jelly Roll is an artist and that is very much.
I'm looking at him now. He didn't even wore a
hoodie that night, Joe. He wore a button up, long sleeve. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. I don't want to get back into this,
but that's all. Thank you for that, sir. Sometimes people
I think they know they're open to can of worms
on us and they leave a message and they're just going,
let's just see if we get them back into it.
(28:02):
Thank you call us anytime. We really do appreciate that.
Eight seven, seven seventy seven, Bobby, I'm going to go
to Jennifer and Tampa who is looking for some advice.
Is that correct, Jennifer?
Speaker 10 (28:13):
I am good morning, studio.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I have a question.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
So one of my step children got married a few
months ago. She was did not want to invite my
current husband's children. She said that she wasn't that close
with them and didn't think that they needed to come.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm just going to stop you for a second. I
just needed to get my beautiful mind map going here.
Your step child, but your current husband is he not
her dad? No, he is not.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I was married first, she was under the age of five,
and we were together for about ten years. However, we
stayed close after we divorced.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Thank you. So yeah, so God, I just needed to
know that a little bit. Did you need to know that?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Why Jennifer, please continue, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
That's okay.
Speaker 10 (29:03):
So again, So now, I've been with my husband now
for almost eleven years, and she got married a few
months ago. And just wasn't comfortable even though we all
do family things together, like the dynamic is the same.
You know, I have children with my ex husband who
are her siblings obviously, and then you know my husband now,
(29:25):
and nobody gets and nobody gets special treatment. Everybody's treated
the same. And she just didn't think that they needed
to come, And so I said, well, can I cover
the cost? Is it a big.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Deal that way?
Speaker 10 (29:41):
You know, it doesn't interfere with your numbers or anything
like that, and you know, she still didn't want to
do it, so it was kind of hurtful.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
YEP, I can see where that would be hurtful. I
like you, Jennifer, and I appreciate you calling and listening.
I don't think you're going to like what I'm going
to say back, and I think I hope why you called.
You want unbiased opinion because we don't have a relationships.
I don't have to worry about your feelings. And that's
why I go to therapy because they don't worry about
my feelings. They tell me how they feel regardless because
they don't have to live with me, and Jennifer, I'm
(30:10):
going to say this to you in that same way, respectfully.
It was her wedding. That's it. Who If she wants
somebody there, great, If she doesn't, great. You gotta respect it.
You can be hurt by it. Both can be true.
You can be hurt by it, and she can also
say Nope, don't want them at the wedding, not comfortable
with them being there. Maybe they didn't make to cut.
Whatever the reason, it's her wedding, and so now it
(30:33):
is just a bit of a hopefully mending process, if
that is even needed to be had between her and
the other children chi adults, I'm assuming, but yeah, the
other kids. But I have a long standing statement of
if it is your wedding, you do whatever you want,
(30:55):
invite whomever you want, don't invite whomever you want that
showbiz baby, because that is your wedding. I do understand
why that can be hurtful. I don't think she did
anything wrong. So my advice to you is you don't
have to like it, respect it because it was her wedding,
(31:17):
and hopefully there can be some growth. If you force
growth between you try to force growth. It's they're going
to go the opposite ways. It's magnets. It's two north sides.
Of a magnet being shoved together. They're going to push back,
but you could hopefully encourage and nurture maybe they have
a relationship, and if they don't, that's also okay. You
can love them all the same separately. So that would
(31:39):
be what I would say to you as respectfully as possible. Amy,
you're usually smarter than me at this stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
No, it just makes you think about a book that
I recently.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Read, books about this stuff.
Speaker 10 (31:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
No, it's a guide to dating, engagement, and marriage after
divorce or death of a spouse, and it's called mixed.
Don't blame And I think a lot of times to
the parents, we try to blend our kids up together
and make it like okay, we force a lot, but
if you look at it as mixing so everybody, you know,
promotes individual growth within the relationships and they get to
(32:15):
be who they are. And this is a choice that
your former step daughter was making about your new newest
husband's I get your newest husband. I know you have
been together eleven years, but still this is that those
are your relationships.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You don't have to force their relationship with them.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Great point. I would also like to add to somebody
who was a step kid. So Arkansas, Keith was my
stepdad for years and he did not become my stepdad
because my mom died. They actually divorced before my mom died,
and that's why I would say my former stepdad. But
I've remained very close with him. I love them and
we text and he's met Billy and that's my daughter
(32:56):
and so. But that being said, one of his daughters
I was close to whenever him my mom met. Then
one appeared way later and it never was close to
her for a set of reasons. Part of it was
just me probably being jealous that he had another kid
that I mean even he didn't know about. It's a
(33:16):
whole different story, but I didn't know about, and I
was like, oh, I don't like this. I finally have
a like a dad figure, and now somebody else is
coming in and also taking some. So there are different
reasons that people don't want to mix, and they don't
even have to be healthy reasons. But it doesn't mean
it's your fault, and it doesn't mean it's your job
to make them go together.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
It's definitely not your job to then offer to pay
to try to make it work. Now you're trying to
come in and control the situation so that you can.
I assume you wanted your other kids there, so that
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
It'd be so nice if everybody was right.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
But we at times, even though we want to do that,
we have to step back and surrender and know it's
not our.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Day and nobody's probably mat or upset except for you
the most because you're the mom and that probably hurts
your feelings.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
So and then that those feelings are for you to
work through.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, So our advice to you, and i'd say this first,
is hey, you love those people, and that's awesome, and
they're lucky to have you loving them. All those all
those kids, I don't know sure how the old they are,
but all those kids, they're lucky to have you loving
and caring for all of them individually. Even your stepdaughter
who's a former step daughter, but a stepdaughter that you're
not still officially that you care that much about her too,
(34:28):
How lucky is she? Holy crap? So you're probably a
good person. Just from the six minutes and thirty three
seconds on this call. I got a timer here that
tells me how long I've been talking to people. But
you can't force it, but you shouldn't put the pressure
on yourself to force it and just move along and
everybody can be happy.
Speaker 10 (34:42):
I appreciate it. I think the confusing part for me
was it didn't really make a difference for her, and
she invited her father, her father's side of step children.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, you can't keep keep score. No keeping score the
confusing part. Okay, I get it, but no keeping score
and hold it against her. It's her wedding. They are
very lucky to have you in their life. I think
we end on that because you care so much it
bothers you. You are they are very lucky to have
you in their lives. So keep loving them all, don't
force them together, and if they do, they do. If
(35:14):
they don't, they don't, and they all still get loved
equally by you.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
I feel good about my vices. Sometimes as soon as
I hang up, I'm like, I don't know if I
like my advice. Doctors are telling people that you should
not wear contact lenses on flights. Oh really, who wears
contacts here? Nobody anymore. I tried for a while, but
they only gave me one. Oh for your good eye, Yeah, yeah,
my good eye, because it's not as good as it
(35:39):
used to be my bad eye doesn't work at all,
but I just felt lopsided. Even though I didn't really
feel it, I knew I was lopsided.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
My doctors say should think twice before wearing contact lenses
on airplanes because the dry, low humidity cabin air can
cause the lenses to dry out stick to your eyes.
It irritates, scratches even affection. I wear glasses when you
fly instead. If you can't for longer trips, pack a
spare pair of glasses. That's the safest option. New York
posts with that. Do people do that normally? Has you
(36:07):
heard of people doing that? Because that could be something
people already do. No. No, none of us wear contacts, though.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
I mean I used to. I had Lasik a few
years back, so got rid of that. It's a pain, dude.
Contacts are a pain in the butt.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Putting them on and then you lose one and you're like,
you don't have an extra one and you're driving or
something is terrible.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I had a brief relationship with putting one in it.
It was when I was doing Breaking Bobby Bones, the
TV show. Because I would be doing stuff and I
would be climbing or jumping and my glasses would fall off,
and so it was just hard to put it in.
It was just weird to put it in. Yeah, and
you get used to it. There are millions of people
listening now that have contacts, and you get used to it.
But thinking back when you first got contacts and how
weird it was, that's what I felt like, My only
(36:48):
experience with them is weird.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
And then sometimes you put them on backwards like they're
inside out, you know, and you're just like, it feels weird.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Is it inside out?
Speaker 9 (36:55):
And then you look at it and you're like, I
can't tell.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Oh, that's the thing. Yeah. Mmm. The movie Obsession is
now the highest grossing film of all time, with the
budget under one million dollars. So I've not seen Obsession.
This is a horror movie, Mike. Yes, this is the
one they paid.
Speaker 12 (37:09):
Like a nickel for like five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
It has made four hundred million dollars. What this is about?
A guy, if I'm correct here, he like makes he
got a genie or something, makes a wish that this
girl would like be in love with him.
Speaker 12 (37:20):
He gets like he's his little stick and you break it,
you make a wish and then it comes true, and
his wish was I want this girl to love me
more than anybody else in the world, and then she
gets obsessed with him.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Oh gosh, yeah, that's a tricky wish.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
It's like big but gone wrong?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Right, I mean, I get it was good, right, Big
was awesome. Yeah it was good.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Really yeah, like you want somebody to like you, but
to that, that's such an interesting concept.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And the movie's good, really good. That does that person
now get one hundred million dollars to make their next movie.
Speaker 12 (37:49):
She's now getting offers to be in the MCU. She
might be in another movie called Heat two. What's MCU
Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
She gets to be a character.
Speaker 12 (37:57):
She's in talks with one of the directors.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Wait, was she an actor in it as well? So
she did the movie and acted in it both.
Speaker 12 (38:03):
She was a acted she's like the main actress in it,
and she's wanted to put it together.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
No, no, no, oh got it.
Speaker 12 (38:08):
But she's just getting a lot of attention now because
the movie was so successful. He did make a lot
of money for that role. But now we'll have a career.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Anybody else watch it? Nope, I thought about it. I
want to watch fourteen movies. I thought about it. I
didn't quite get to it. There's a number that I
still text some time to time. It's Amy's old number,
but Amy doesn't have it anymore, and people still text
it thinking it's Amy. And it's a kid who's probably
at thirteen or so.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
I think he just turned thirteen from what my friends
have told me that have corresponded with him when they're
trying to get a hold of me.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
And so she wanted to call him. Don't call the kid,
So I text her, Yeah, don't like human no adult
conversation with the kid. So you texted him and said, I.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Said, hey, this is Amy, you have my old number.
I've heard from some friends that you said. I've been
getting a lot of texts over the last year or so,
I said. I I never updated to people that I
have my numbers. So I'm really sorry about that.
Speaker 8 (39:04):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
And you know, I thought he would reply back, but
I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 12 (39:09):
So and he.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Replies back to so many people that like have reached
out thinking it's me, So I thought he would reply
to me.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
So now you're just going to leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, I think we should call it.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
No no, no, I don't want to call it thirteen kid.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
But it's just been such an interesting story. Like he
really last week he went back and forth with some
of my friends in a group text because he said
they were like, oh, sorry, we thought this was Amy's
new number. He goes, well, now I'm invested in this story.
He's pretty good. So then he was texting back and
forth with them, and that's how I got so much
information about how you know, I get a lot of texts,
and you know, I know that he's yelled at my
(39:46):
family before and threatened to call the cops on some people.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
So yeah, a good idea call him. Well, I just think.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
If we like explain it, and it's like kind of funny,
like I want to know who's been texting me, Like
I want to know what what messages am I missing
out on.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
That's a twenty two yearyear old, Hey, give it a rip,
it's a thirteen year old kid. I just think there's harmless.
That's what every predator says. And you're not a predator exactly,
you're not a predator, but that's what every predator says.
And want you to feel I'm harmless. Get in.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
No, I'm not going to say get in careless.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
I don't like thirteen year old?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, like, do I have?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
What if?
Speaker 5 (40:16):
What if I have some really good texts in there
that we've missed out on.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You know that's on you though you call the kid
If you do, don't tell us about it?
Speaker 9 (40:28):
Like what if you call it and then the mom like, oh,
let me answer this.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
I know who you are, and they call the cops
and goes amy the Bobby Bon't Show was calling soliciting
my thirteen year old kid?
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Okay, what if I send a text and say, hey,
just make sure you call my last text?
Speaker 2 (40:46):
You sound like a creepy Did you get a thirteen
year old?
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Did I text the right number?
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
She texted her real numbers?
Speaker 9 (40:53):
Talking about herself.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
I might need you to confirm my old number because
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
In my phone I don't have it. It's only my laptop.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Okay, goot, get so I could that could be a problem.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
I could because I feel like, oh, yeah, yeah, nothing
if I texted it right, nothing he has. I was
pulling it up to see if maybe I missed his reply.
I even said I'm sorry if it's been annoying.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
You know.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
I thought he'd be like, oh, it's cool, all good, but.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
I'll see it because oh my god, goodness became obsessed.
Ammy was at lunch yesterday and this woman was being
loud next to her.
Speaker 10 (41:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:33):
We were at I had a lunch meeting at a
pretty nice restaurant.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
And business business moves.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
Yeah, I mean it was a business moves. Yeah, it
was the thing. And this woman was so loud and
she was telling a story. And there she was with
maybe her parents, and this is a grown adult woman
and the parents are older. So I'm like, we were
trying to figure out is she's talking loud because maybe
they're hard of hearing what is behind this loud voice.
(42:02):
So not only that, we could hear every word, and
she used the R word twice in her story.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
She was being loud and using the R word out loud.
Speaker 5 (42:10):
Yes, And we were mortified. Like, first of all, it
was we were embarrassed for her for talking so loud, yeah,
and then we were embarrassed for her that she was
using that word.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
You gotta lower the volume when you say things you
don't want people that you shouldn't be say, you shouldn't
be saying it anyway. But if you're gonna say stuff
like that, or if you have a secret, or if
there's you're gonna even curse.
Speaker 5 (42:31):
Yeah, because it's basically cursing, but wor that's worse than cursing.
And she was telling a story like ha ha ha laughter,
and I'm.
Speaker 12 (42:40):
Like, how do what was the story?
Speaker 5 (42:43):
Well, I don't know the detail. It's like you could
just hear her. She was loud and you could hear
certain words. But she was very jovial and loud.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
And use our word and use the R word twice.
Speaker 5 (42:55):
Twice and then we're like, oh, then, so now we're laughing,
and we're like, this is not mature. This is not mature.
We don't need to be laughing at this. But we
more so were just laughing at how ridiculous it all was.
I thought maybe, I mean, it's a nice enough restaurant.
I thought someone might go over and be like, ma'am,
could you.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Could you not say the R word or turn it down?
Turn it down and you turn it down and say
less our.
Speaker 5 (43:15):
Word even without the R word. I thought they would
ask her to just please be quiet.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
How the business?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Don't that's good?
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Close a little deal?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
I'll tell you about it. It's not like that.
Speaker 5 (43:24):
It's more it's charity type stuff.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
But yeah, oh given not making no.
Speaker 7 (43:32):
Making money charity tell us, yeah, I'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
That weird making that money.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
Not weird though, Like what's wrong with people?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Oh yeah, what's wrong with people? For sure? For sure?
And now in eight minutes, I did eight accidental successes.
This is from YouTube that I did over at Bobby
Bones Channel. I just thought this is pretty interesting, so
I'm going to put it here. Don't worry, we still
got part two coming up. This is a accidental success stories.
Here you go. I have a list here of eight
(44:06):
accidental successes, things that never should have been successful, that
have become wildly successful and they never should have been.
So if you're watching this now, you've never been successful,
you never know this could happen to you. Number eight Airbnb.
Think about this. Two thousand and seven. Roommates Brian and Joe.
They were struggling to pay rent San Francisco, Who's not
It's a really expensive place to live. A major conference
(44:29):
had filled local hotels. There was nowhere for anybody else
to stay, and so they put air mattresses in their
apartment and they charge people to stay there. They called
it air bed and breakfast because the air inside the
air mattresses. The idea was never intended to become a
global company. So what started as a way to make rent,
(44:51):
because again they were struggling to pay rent, and then
there warn't enough hotel rooms for everybody there ended up
being freaking Airbnb, billions of dollars worth of Airbnb. Okay,
that's number eight. I really try to do ten here.
I only got a strong eight. Number seven. If I
do down, down it, I can't do that, damn it.
(45:15):
I'm trying to do the guitar like the sweet child
of mine. Okay, it's hard to do with my mouth
right now. That guitar riff should have never happened. It
almost never happened. Slash, big hat, top hat, long black hair,
guns n' roses guy. He was fooling around during rehearsal,
playing what he considered just a goofy warm up exercise.
(45:38):
And so as he was playing it down air and
there and there, the rest of the band they were
already there, so they just jumped in and started playing
around his finger warm up, and so what began as
a joke was the foundation of Sweet Child of Mine
and Guns and Roses. I think only number one Billboard
(45:58):
Hot one hundred song. They had a bunch of rock
number ones, but I think that's their only song to
ever go number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred
like pop charts. So it's one of the most recognizable
songs ever, most recognizable guitar licks ever. And it was accidental.
It was just slash still can't get it there with
my mouth. Number six Google Image only ever happened because well,
(46:23):
sort of an accident, and it all goes back to
the year two thousand when Jennifer Lopez was wearing that
green dress where you can see the inside of her boobs.
That was a Versace dress, and that image got so
famous from the Grammy Awards that so many people looked
up in their Google search bar green dress that it
exposed that people just wanted to see pictures, not news articles,
(46:47):
and so there weren't a lot of articles about the dress,
but there was the picture, and because of overwhelming demand,
Google did, okay, we'll just do a Google image search
as well. So because of that, because of that red
carpet green dress that Jennifer Lopez wore, Google image was created.
Number five microwave ovens should have never happened. This story's crazy.
(47:09):
Let's go back to nineteen forty five. There was an
engineer named Percy, and he was working with radar technology.
And as he's working, God loved the chocolate bar Kevin
his pocket. But he would work with his radar technology
and he would notice that the chocolate bar continued to melt,
(47:30):
which told him, huh, something's hot here. Also probably killed
all of a sperm, but melted the chocolate bar a
few times. Then he started experimenting with popcorn kernels and eggs,
and so that microwave technology ended up being the microwave
we know now so completely by accident. Every modern kitchen
(47:51):
now has a microwave. I'm not sure if that dude
ever had kids after the whole chocolate bar thing, but
it was a melted chocolate bar a few times in
a row in his pants that in it up giving
us the microwave. At number four, WD forty WD stands
for water displacement in case you didn't know, and I
didn't know, And the formula that ended up working was
(48:14):
the fortieth attempt, so water displacement forty fortieth is WD forty.
Engineers were trying to create this compound that would prevent
rust and corrosion on their aerospace equipment. They ate thirty
nine versions thirty nine, two, three, four five. At this
(48:36):
point you're wondering, is he going to do thirty nine six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
And now you're going I bet he's gonna do thirty
nine because he's already done ten, eleven, twelve. We'll stop
at twelve because if you're OCD, that's going to drive
you crazy. So thirty nine versions failed. On the fortieth
that was the one. It was still solid after thousands
(48:59):
of a ten hemps. But that fortieth one is the
one that hit, and that's where WD forty comes from.
Water dis placement fortieth attempt boom never supposed to be
a thing. Number three Plato. Before kids were squishing the
snakes and dinosaurs, Plato was sold as wallpaper cleaner. You
take it, put it up on the wallpaper. Mostly back
in the day, homes were heated with coal, so as
(49:22):
the coal was heating up and it would go on
to the wallpaper, you had to somehow get the coal
off the wall. So that's what Plato was. That was
its original use, but then kids started playing with it
as they often do, and then turning the coal cleaner
into again dragons and dinosaurs and race cars, and they
(49:45):
sold a lot more because kids wanted to play with it.
And if your wall still have coal to this day,
try it out. I bet it still works. Plato never
supposed to be a kid's toy, was only supposed to
be a wall cleaner. Number two glue. During World War Two,
scientists were attempting to develop clear plastic gun sites for
(50:07):
the military, so on their weapons obviously, Now if you
think of a gun, you think of the gun site,
it's metal, it's got a little that thing. They wanted
them to be clear, and they were, but one of
the chemicals that they created was unbelievably sticky, and it
kept running experiments because it was bonding to whatever weapon
or anything that it touched at all. So it was
(50:28):
a massive failure because of what they were trying to create.
Years later, one of the guys goes, hey, you know
that thing that was super sticky, What if we actually
used it to be sticky? What if we used it
as an adhesive? And that's exactly what they did. So
it was never meant to be superclue. It was meant
to be a gun site that was clear, and it
(50:50):
just kept sticking to everything. Number one where won now
bubble wrap. Originally bubble wrap wasn't for packages at all
ineteen fifty seven, and vendors were trying to create a
trendy textured wallpaper and they thought, why don't we seal
air bubbles between two plastic shower curtain type things, and
(51:13):
so the wallpaper idea flopped. Obviously that would be so annoying,
but they realized that that material would be great for
protecting items if they were shipping it, and so that's
exactly what they did. So what was failed as a
home to core product became one of the most recognizable
packing materials in the world. So those are eight things
that accidentally succeeded. And if you're out there and you've
(51:36):
never succeeded, you might accidentally succeed too. Probably not, but
you never know. Bobby Bone show Sorry up to day.
Speaker 7 (51:45):
This story comes us from Shawnee, Kansas. A woman wanted
to do some remodeling in her garden put some new
flowers in. So she gets in the car drives up
to the mall. Malls closed gets her shovel out and
dig up all the.

was just to make the mall look better. It's what
I'm right.

She dug them up with a shovel, put them in
her car, drove them home.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
What what gas do plants take from the air?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I want to say they're taken carbon monoxide, which helps us.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, car carbon oxygen.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Gas from the air. Your answer is carbon monoxide. When
you said it the first time, me adding amy, I
had to lower a head.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I couldn't You will die from carbon monoxide? Points carbon dioxide?
You were you were you were dancing around and you
said it, but you didn't commit.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
To it, and it was carbon dioxide.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yeah, so we breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide.
Plants to the opposite. Okay, so you're kind of right.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah, but I don't know why I was saying carbon
dioxide like they helped breathe it in, so we.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Don't take believe. Your car running in your garage, you
get carbon dioxide poisoning. It's oxides. Hey, Boner, you've been
boo much box Winner, it's aymous anonymous in bo there's
(08:33):
a question to be Hello, Bobby Bones, get married soon.
My fiance is a professional writer. Everyone expects his valves
to be incredible, and honestly, they will be. The pressure
has been getting to me to write because it's not
my strength. I ended up using AI to help me
(08:54):
organize my thoughts and put my feelings into words. The
emotions and stories are all mine, but AI help with
the actual writing. I feel guilty, like I'm cheating. Should
I feel bad? Or is it no different than asking
a friend for help? Signed writer's blog Bride. You should
not feel bad because if you are putting in actual
(09:16):
details of your life and writing is not your strength
and you are insecure about it, I don't think you
should feel bad at all for using a tool if
something was broken at your house, they're like, well, I
had to use a ranch instead of my hands. Should
I feel bad? No, use a tool. That's a tool,
so you should not. I'm not going to shame you
(09:37):
for even if you went to AI and go it
just write me some crap. I'm not going to shame you.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Oh I like that she entered in her actual feelings
and stories.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I'm just not going to shame anybody for this, especially
if it's not your thing and you didn't want to
write the vast.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, but that would hurt if you found that out.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Yeah, if you found it out. But no shame from
me for this, because you're using it as a tool.
That's what I like. Put a bunch of stuff in there. Hey,
help me organize this, help me say what I want
to say. Here are the things in our life, and
what it's going to do is basically, when I wrote
my books, I had an editor, I had a human AI.
(10:12):
I would write all this stuff, and you know what
they did, They said, Okay, let's organize it, let's do
this here here. What if you did this, what if
we had this, it's the same thing. Do you feel
bad about that? No?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Because that's the process.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Hey, no, no, I wanted more of it, made it better.
Don't feel bad you're doing and don't feel bad about
something you're doing at any point. If there's goodness in
your heart about it, it may not end up well
and you can look back and go well, do reflecting.
I would do that differently. But if you have like
genuinely goodness in your heart when you do something, you
(10:46):
shouldn't feel bad going into it. That's usually my rule
of left thumb. I got a rule of right thumb too.
What's up? Don't feed after dark? Don't get them wet.
Oh that's Gremlins, okay, sold movie. Yeah that's the old Gremlins.
I got this, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, there you go,
(11:06):
do your thing. Don't feel bad. That's my opinion. I
also enjoy AI and needs it all the time for research,
So all right, close it up. Sting the singer, can
you name a song?
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Mmm?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
I can't off the top of my head. If you
give me a hint for sure, osent.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Police, yeah or message and a bah A lot. He's
a lot. He does not own the rights to his name. Sting,
the registered owner with the US Patent Office, is pro
wrestler Sting. Oh but he lets him use the name anyway. Wow,
and police Sting came first, right, And do you know
(11:50):
who my favorite wrestler of all time is?
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Sting?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Now do you know who's I've never interviewed that he's
on my white whale list mount actual more of white whales.
I've never been able to get saying, not the singer,
the wrestler. Wow. Yes, fun fact Friday, Amy, your up.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Well, this is sort of depressing but also fun. The
blue lights on train platforms in Japan have been shown
to reduce the chance that someone will jump in front
of a speeding drain. They had to do this because
people were doing that, and when they changed the lighting,
it helped curb suicides.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I'm a big fan of curbing suicides. Same. Yeah, So
it's interesting.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
So the light, like say, the yellow light, when people
saw that, they were like, ah, just do it.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
But the blue They say that blue lighting reduced suicide
attempts by eighty four percent, and it's believed the blue
registers a calming effect associated with the sky and the sea,
which might be soothing to people in distress.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
According to Psychology Today.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Like I said, you know what, I'm a big advocate
of so this is more like not having suicides. Yes, interesting,
all right, lunchbox.
Speaker 8 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Antonio Swad I don't know if that's how you say
his last name s w A D. He created a restaurant,
Pizza Patron. He had a pizza restaurant, had a couple
of chains, like you know what, I'm gonna start a
new restaurant. He started wing stock or you just go
get wings. And here's the crazy part. He was a vegetarian.
(13:25):
Got to try it on food?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
He never tried.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
He just did the sauces and he would bring people
over and say, hey, taste this.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How does it taste? Is the chicken good? All right,
I'm gonna go open a wing store and boom.
Speaker 9 (13:35):
But you know, the pizza patron pizzas were pretty good.
Those were in a comedian stores mostly remember that, No,
do they still? I was big Totino's. That was the
four Tonies. Do you know, guys know the song from
the Four Toonies?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Huh huh?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You know you got there. There's multiples. So which one
do you want to do? Because if we do them,
you gotta nail the second or third or fourth one? Okay?
Do you know how to do it it. Maybe no,
we can't do Maybe you just want to wing it
and say yes, you mean do you know how to
do it? Eddie? I think so, Mike, No, I definitely
do No. You know you don't. There's no chance. Okay,
(14:12):
well we can come on. Let her rip. Okay, I'll
do the fourth. I'll do one, Eddie do two, and
you do three. I'll come back with four. Okay, m
keep going. No, I'm gonna I'm gonna blow up. My
(14:37):
boys are gonna blow up. I think you get the idea.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Though.
Speaker 10 (14:40):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Commercial for the four Tonys and they did Totino's Pizzas. Yes,
I think fortunately.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
The commercial people came up with that.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh no, no, it's a song too back in the day.
Little bitty pretty one watching that to me? Yeah, Morgan. So.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Abraham Lincoln is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
He's six foot four and he's only had one loss
among three hundred contestants, and he had a reputation for
being a fighter in Illinois.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Do you know who he lost to? Sting Your favorite wrestler?
My favorite wrestler? Yeah, yeah, I knew was the wrestler.
Pretty crazy. I never knew that Lunchbox already did yours good.
I never know. I got a fact, I get a
plan here on order, we're going in. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
We took a song break counterclockwise, now I'll do another one.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
The fake money they used in Rush Hour two looks
so real that some of the extras took it and
tried to spend it, and the secret Service wound up
raiding the prop company that made it, seizing the money
and accusing the company of using that as a way
to counterfeit money.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
The proper company gets in trouble for.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I think they saw it as a way to make
real money. Yeah, and that was their way out, Like, no,
we're making this for the movie. Yeah yeah, Eddie. Oh okay,
this might be the cutest thing ever see otters. When
they sleep at night, they hold hands. Have you ever
seen the videos? No, there's a video of not just
nice daytime too.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
They're laying on their back holding the hand and then
they're just like spinning in the water.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
That is too cute because the currents are so strong
that like they hold hands so they don't separate.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Can you name the highest grossing actor of all time?
A dollar if you can everybody gets one guess and
Amy the Rock Lunchbox, you can guess the same person.
If you want, you'll both just get a dollar.
Speaker 11 (16:23):
No, no, no, no, Vin Diesel Morgan, Tom Cruise, Eddy,
Tom Hanks, Stanley who's a Oh wow, a Marvel the
creator of all of that, because he's in every Marvel
movie until he died.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
He's in every one of them. So it's movies made
more money than anything else can buy. If I say catfish,
what do you think of?
Speaker 1 (16:50):
I think of catfishing people? Yeah, I don't think of
like fried catfish.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You think of getting on the Internet and making someone
think you're someone and you're not.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Right because of the show on MTV, right, catfish?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So did you ever watch the documentary that started the
show on MTV And the guy who did the show
on MTV was catfished and they did the whole documentary
and it was him going, oh my god, did you
guys watch the documentary? Oh yeah, that's when it all started.
It is crazy. That blew my mind. So the guy's
name is Neve and I was talking with them. So
he created the documentary and then had the show on
(17:26):
MTV for like ten years and we just talked about
catfishers and who he confronted all this. So this is
Neve Shulman, the host of Catfish, the creator of Catfish.
Here we Go. Did you find in all of the
years of the show that most of the catfishing was
(17:49):
people being selfish doing it for their own entertainment or loneliness,
or trying to get money out of people.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
Obviously, in the sort of almost three hundred episodes that
we did, it was a pretty interesting mix of motives.
I would say, if I had to guess, most of
the people who were catfishing for money would not have
agreed to come on the show because they were, you know,
sort of scamming people. For the most part, of the
people who would agree to come on the show are
(18:14):
the ones who did genuinely create the profile to communicate,
make friends, explore some part of their personality or sexuality
or identity, and then kind of accidentally stumbled into the relationship,
had real feelings and didn't know kind of how to
handle it. But again, that's through the microscope of the show.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
That's more mostly what we saw. Yeah, I think for.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
Every episode of the show, I'm sure there's hundreds of
people are who got catfished by someone who just was
trying to get money out of them. We did have
a couple episodes like that. We even shockingly got like
a Nigerian prince scammer to agree to I don't think
he face timed with us, but he got on the
phone or maybe he faced time.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, he did FaceTime and.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
Admit that like he you know, took the money from
this poor guy who was so sweet because he you know,
he lives in he's poor, he lives somewhere in Africa,
and he's got a girlfriend that he wants to propose to,
and he was trying to save some enough money for
a ring. And so the guy, the sweet guy who
got catfished, said, Hey, I had a ring that I
(19:24):
had bought for you that I'll send that you can
use to I mean, like kind of amazing story because
he felt bad for the guy.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know, wow, yeah, still had the empathy sympathy to
give the guy that was scamming him a ring to
give to his girl. Yeah. Wow, if that were today,
they had created like a GoFundMe for that dude and
he'd made like a million bucks. Yeah, maybe for a
nice guy there probably was go fund me then, but yeah, wow,
(19:53):
that's wild.
Speaker 8 (19:54):
Well what's the crazy thing is that guy had to
remain anonymous ish because it is a in that country
they have It's a huge issue for a lot of
those countries and they're trying to crack down on it.
So it was kind of a big risk for him
to even come on the show and admit it.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
How did you get some of the folks to even
come on? Was there a lot of coaxing with some
of them? I mean, look, that wasn't my job really.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
I obviously did interact with them, and at any point
they could have decided to change their mind and not
meet up with us. But I think what made the
show unique and successful for as long as it was
is that we were really a platform, a safe, empathetic,
objective platform for people to hash it out, come clean,
(20:38):
reveal themselves, you know, tell their secrets, admit to their wrongdoings,
and not get excoriated and made fun of, but sort
of be heard and listened to. And I think for
that reason, people felt comfortable and sort of drawn to
the show.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So Neive is the guy that did the documentary cat
and he got catfished, and then the MTV show for
a decade where people were faking like somebody they're not
on the internet, and I'd asked him like, did you
ever get the people together? And then they fell in
love for real? And so he was talking about that.
Here you go. Was there ever an instance where the
(21:18):
catfish and the person they were tricking ever actually did
fall in love after.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah, we had a few minor successes where they kind
of agreed to go on some dates. But our one
real true like love story was we had an episode
where a girl was talking to this guy. They had
been speaking for a while, they were really into each other,
and then we went to meet him and it turns
(21:42):
out he had presented himself as a white guy and
he was actually black, and you know it, just a
sort of very nice looking, average, sort of nerdy black
guy who I don't think it really lied about that
much other than his appearance, and the girl didn't really care.
I guess she was still attracted to him, and they
had a kid, and as far as I know, they're
married and still together, which is great.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And that's probably because he didn't lie about everything, right, right,
I mean, I'm sure he left out things about his
life because it didn't fit with the sort of version
he had presented.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
But that was actually there was a whole conversation that
didn't make the episode that I was kind of bummed
about because he the black guy, he did not identify
with or associate with his sort of black culture. He
felt almost like he was sort of born into the
wrong body, which which was a really interesting conversation with
(22:35):
his family, like I think his mom and his sister
who were kind of I think a little hurt that
they that they felt like, what's wrong with black culture?
What's wrong with our family? Like why don't you feel
like this is the right place for you? And it
was very interesting dynamic to kind of sort sort out
but needless stay that worked out ye.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Really cool episode. You can go check out Neve from Catfish.
It's up on the Bobby Cast. It's a podcast you
can subscribe to download to. I guess you don't download
to it, but don't you go to it to download.
You can also watch it on Netflix. So it's Neve
Shulman from Catfish. It's the Bobby Cast, and so check

The Morning Corny.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
The pig lost the race because he pulled his what
M string? Ham string?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
A good one. That was the morning Corning.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
There you go about that one, all right, Voye Smails
Morning Studio.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I am watching the Bobby Cast with John Stamos. It
is the.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Most entertaining thing I have seen in such a long time.
I also wanted to tell you I go to the
gym every day and I laugh out loud when I'm
listening to the show. And after two or three days
of it, because I go at the same time so
the same people are there, they finally stopped me today
and asked me what am I listening to? So I
(24:37):
told them the Bobby Bone Show. Love you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That was a very kind voicemail. Thank you for sending that.
The John Stamos Bobbycast to me is one of the
most fun ones I've done in a long time. Also
because I love uncle Jesse and I love full House
and he was just fine. And so you can watch that.
It's on Netflix, search for the Bobbycast, or if you
want to listen to it only, you can search the
Bobby Cast on wherever you get your podcas and listen
to it. But yes, thank you for all of that.
(25:02):
I really appreciate you sharing that with us. All right,
Next one, Hey, Bobby, I.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Know this happened a while ago, but how come.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
You didn't have a problem with Lunchbot when he was
on stage with the rest of the show accepting an
award as part of the Bobby Bones Show, and he
wears a hoodie, but he wears a tuxedo to go
on the Price is Right, Price is Right, tuxedo National
(25:31):
Awards show.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
A hoodie? Would you like to respond first?
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Yeah, the tuxedo at Price is Right was to stick out,
to be different from the crowd. And a hoodie at
an award show. I thought it was a nice hoodie.
I got it at an Ordstrom and so I no
one told me anything otherwise.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I showed up in a hoodie.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
No one told me that I wasn't supposed to wear
a hoodie.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
It was a night. It was like a dress city.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
It wasn't like a pash here several years ago.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
So we won the CMA and it did say black
tie and lunchbox war hoodie and it was a bit
but it was real. But you did wear a hoodie,
and I was like, how can you wear a hoodie
do a black tie event where everybody else is dressed up.
We've moved on beyond that. I didn't know he was
going to do that. The tuxedo was my idea that
he wore on prices right, because I said, you should
wear a tuxedo because nobody else will. So it was
(26:22):
not my idea for him to wear a hoodie. And
we've been to that award.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
Show before, like he knows that you wear a nice
suit or a taxedar.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I don't want to revisit it, honestly, we've we've done it.
Speaker 7 (26:34):
I still feel like they should said that in the
first line of the email. It's buried in the middle
of the email, way down there, and you just totally
miss it.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
A lot of times it was a dress. It was
like it was like a cow pattern.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
It looks like an adult coloring book.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
On I'm looking at the picture. Everybody is in full
tie suit, jewels, and in the middle, let's walk is
in a hoodie. I don't want to get I don't
want to get back into it. Literally, the purpose was
I didn't know what he was wearing. There. I gave
him advice on what to word of price is right.
If I could have given him advice for the CMAS,
(27:13):
I would have said anything but a hoodie. That would
have been my advice. Even a tuxedo. Yeah, what if
Jelly Roll showed up in a hoodie? Would it be
a problem. Jelly Roll is an artist and is very famous.
You're in neither of those.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Would that have been okay, that's cool. Everybody would have
said it's cool, not Jelly Roll. So it depends on
who it is.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, that's life.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
If it's fashion, it's fashion, that's not fashion that you
would be fashioned.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Because jelly Roll is an artist and that is very much.
I'm looking at him now. He didn't even wore a
hoodie that night, Joe. He wore a button up, long sleeve. Yeah,
it doesn't matter. I don't want to get back into this,
but that's all. Thank you for that, sir. Sometimes people
I think they know they're open to can of worms
on us and they leave a message and they're just going,
let's just see if we get them back into it.
(28:02):
Thank you call us anytime. We really do appreciate that.
Eight seven, seven seventy seven, Bobby, I'm going to go
to Jennifer and Tampa who is looking for some advice.
Is that correct, Jennifer?
Speaker 10 (28:13):
I am good morning, studio.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I have a question.
Speaker 10 (28:16):
So one of my step children got married a few
months ago. She was did not want to invite my
current husband's children. She said that she wasn't that close
with them and didn't think that they needed to come.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I'm just going to stop you for a second. I
just needed to get my beautiful mind map going here.
Your step child, but your current husband is he not
her dad? No, he is not.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I was married first, she was under the age of five,
and we were together for about ten years. However, we
stayed close after we divorced.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Thank you. So yeah, so God, I just needed to
know that a little bit. Did you need to know that?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Why Jennifer, please continue, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
That's okay.
Speaker 10 (29:03):
So again, So now, I've been with my husband now
for almost eleven years, and she got married a few
months ago. And just wasn't comfortable even though we all
do family things together, like the dynamic is the same.
You know, I have children with my ex husband who
are her siblings obviously, and then you know my husband now,
(29:25):
and nobody gets and nobody gets special treatment. Everybody's treated
the same. And she just didn't think that they needed
to come, And so I said, well, can I cover
the cost? Is it a big.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Deal that way?
Speaker 10 (29:41):
You know, it doesn't interfere with your numbers or anything
like that, and you know, she still didn't want to
do it, so it was kind of hurtful.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
YEP, I can see where that would be hurtful. I
like you, Jennifer, and I appreciate you calling and listening.
I don't think you're going to like what I'm going
to say back, and I think I hope why you called.
You want unbiased opinion because we don't have a relationships.
I don't have to worry about your feelings. And that's
why I go to therapy because they don't worry about
my feelings. They tell me how they feel regardless because
they don't have to live with me, and Jennifer, I'm
(30:10):
going to say this to you in that same way, respectfully.
It was her wedding. That's it. Who If she wants
somebody there, great, If she doesn't, great. You gotta respect it.
You can be hurt by it. Both can be true.
You can be hurt by it, and she can also
say Nope, don't want them at the wedding, not comfortable
with them being there. Maybe they didn't make to cut.
Whatever the reason, it's her wedding, and so now it
(30:33):
is just a bit of a hopefully mending process, if
that is even needed to be had between her and
the other children chi adults, I'm assuming, but yeah, the
other kids. But I have a long standing statement of
if it is your wedding, you do whatever you want,
(30:55):
invite whomever you want, don't invite whomever you want that
showbiz baby, because that is your wedding. I do understand
why that can be hurtful. I don't think she did
anything wrong. So my advice to you is you don't
have to like it, respect it because it was her wedding,
(31:17):
and hopefully there can be some growth. If you force
growth between you try to force growth. It's they're going
to go the opposite ways. It's magnets. It's two north sides.
Of a magnet being shoved together. They're going to push back,
but you could hopefully encourage and nurture maybe they have
a relationship, and if they don't, that's also okay. You
can love them all the same separately. So that would
(31:39):
be what I would say to you as respectfully as possible. Amy,
you're usually smarter than me at this stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
No, it just makes you think about a book that
I recently.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Read, books about this stuff.
Speaker 10 (31:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
No, it's a guide to dating, engagement, and marriage after
divorce or death of a spouse, and it's called mixed.
Don't blame And I think a lot of times to
the parents, we try to blend our kids up together
and make it like okay, we force a lot, but
if you look at it as mixing so everybody, you know,
promotes individual growth within the relationships and they get to
(32:15):
be who they are. And this is a choice that
your former step daughter was making about your new newest
husband's I get your newest husband. I know you have
been together eleven years, but still this is that those
are your relationships.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You don't have to force their relationship with them.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Great point. I would also like to add to somebody
who was a step kid. So Arkansas, Keith was my
stepdad for years and he did not become my stepdad
because my mom died. They actually divorced before my mom died,
and that's why I would say my former stepdad. But
I've remained very close with him. I love them and
we text and he's met Billy and that's my daughter
(32:56):
and so. But that being said, one of his daughters
I was close to whenever him my mom met. Then
one appeared way later and it never was close to
her for a set of reasons. Part of it was
just me probably being jealous that he had another kid
that I mean even he didn't know about. It's a
(33:16):
whole different story, but I didn't know about, and I
was like, oh, I don't like this. I finally have
a like a dad figure, and now somebody else is
coming in and also taking some. So there are different
reasons that people don't want to mix, and they don't
even have to be healthy reasons. But it doesn't mean
it's your fault, and it doesn't mean it's your job
to make them go together.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
It's definitely not your job to then offer to pay
to try to make it work. Now you're trying to
come in and control the situation so that you can.
I assume you wanted your other kids there, so that
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
It'd be so nice if everybody was right.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
But we at times, even though we want to do that,
we have to step back and surrender and know it's
not our.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Day and nobody's probably mat or upset except for you
the most because you're the mom and that probably hurts
your feelings.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
So and then that those feelings are for you to
work through.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah, So our advice to you, and i'd say this first,
is hey, you love those people, and that's awesome, and
they're lucky to have you loving them. All those all
those kids, I don't know sure how the old they are,
but all those kids, they're lucky to have you loving
and caring for all of them individually. Even your stepdaughter
who's a former step daughter, but a stepdaughter that you're
not still officially that you care that much about her too,
(34:28):
How lucky is she? Holy crap? So you're probably a
good person. Just from the six minutes and thirty three
seconds on this call. I got a timer here that
tells me how long I've been talking to people. But
you can't force it, but you shouldn't put the pressure
on yourself to force it and just move along and
everybody can be happy.
Speaker 10 (34:42):
I appreciate it. I think the confusing part for me
was it didn't really make a difference for her, and
she invited her father, her father's side of step children.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, you can't keep keep score. No keeping score the
confusing part. Okay, I get it, but no keeping score
and hold it against her. It's her wedding. They are
very lucky to have you in their life. I think
we end on that because you care so much it
bothers you. You are they are very lucky to have
you in their lives. So keep loving them all, don't
force them together, and if they do, they do. If
(35:14):
they don't, they don't, and they all still get loved
equally by you.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
I feel good about my vices. Sometimes as soon as
I hang up, I'm like, I don't know if I
like my advice. Doctors are telling people that you should
not wear contact lenses on flights. Oh really, who wears
contacts here? Nobody anymore. I tried for a while, but
they only gave me one. Oh for your good eye, Yeah, yeah,
my good eye, because it's not as good as it
(35:39):
used to be my bad eye doesn't work at all,
but I just felt lopsided. Even though I didn't really
feel it, I knew I was lopsided.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
My doctors say should think twice before wearing contact lenses
on airplanes because the dry, low humidity cabin air can
cause the lenses to dry out stick to your eyes.
It irritates, scratches even affection. I wear glasses when you
fly instead. If you can't for longer trips, pack a
spare pair of glasses. That's the safest option. New York
posts with that. Do people do that normally? Has you
(36:07):
heard of people doing that? Because that could be something
people already do. No. No, none of us wear contacts, though.
Speaker 9 (36:13):
I mean I used to. I had Lasik a few
years back, so got rid of that. It's a pain, dude.
Contacts are a pain in the butt.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Putting them on and then you lose one and you're like,
you don't have an extra one and you're driving or
something is terrible.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I had a brief relationship with putting one in it.
It was when I was doing Breaking Bobby Bones, the
TV show. Because I would be doing stuff and I
would be climbing or jumping and my glasses would fall off,
and so it was just hard to put it in.
It was just weird to put it in. Yeah, and
you get used to it. There are millions of people
listening now that have contacts, and you get used to it.
But thinking back when you first got contacts and how
weird it was, that's what I felt like, My only
(36:48):
experience with them is weird.
Speaker 9 (36:50):
And then sometimes you put them on backwards like they're
inside out, you know, and you're just like, it feels weird.
Speaker 4 (36:54):
Is it inside out?
Speaker 9 (36:55):
And then you look at it and you're like, I
can't tell.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Oh, that's the thing. Yeah. Mmm. The movie Obsession is
now the highest grossing film of all time, with the
budget under one million dollars. So I've not seen Obsession.
This is a horror movie, Mike. Yes, this is the
one they paid.
Speaker 12 (37:09):
Like a nickel for like five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
It has made four hundred million dollars. What this is about?
A guy, if I'm correct here, he like makes he
got a genie or something, makes a wish that this
girl would like be in love with him.
Speaker 12 (37:20):
He gets like he's his little stick and you break it,
you make a wish and then it comes true, and
his wish was I want this girl to love me
more than anybody else in the world, and then she
gets obsessed with him.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Oh gosh, yeah, that's a tricky wish.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
It's like big but gone wrong?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Right, I mean, I get it was good, right, Big
was awesome. Yeah it was good.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Really yeah, like you want somebody to like you, but
to that, that's such an interesting concept.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And the movie's good, really good. That does that person
now get one hundred million dollars to make their next movie.
Speaker 12 (37:49):
She's now getting offers to be in the MCU. She
might be in another movie called Heat two. What's MCU
Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
She gets to be a character.
Speaker 12 (37:57):
She's in talks with one of the directors.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Wait, was she an actor in it as well? So
she did the movie and acted in it both.
Speaker 12 (38:03):
She was a acted she's like the main actress in it,
and she's wanted to put it together.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
No, no, no, oh got it.
Speaker 12 (38:08):
But she's just getting a lot of attention now because
the movie was so successful. He did make a lot
of money for that role. But now we'll have a career.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Anybody else watch it? Nope, I thought about it. I
want to watch fourteen movies. I thought about it. I
didn't quite get to it. There's a number that I
still text some time to time. It's Amy's old number,
but Amy doesn't have it anymore, and people still text
it thinking it's Amy. And it's a kid who's probably
at thirteen or so.
Speaker 5 (38:32):
I think he just turned thirteen from what my friends
have told me that have corresponded with him when they're
trying to get a hold of me.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
And so she wanted to call him. Don't call the kid,
So I text her, Yeah, don't like human no adult
conversation with the kid. So you texted him and said, I.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Said, hey, this is Amy, you have my old number.
I've heard from some friends that you said. I've been
getting a lot of texts over the last year or so,
I said. I I never updated to people that I
have my numbers. So I'm really sorry about that.
Speaker 8 (39:04):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
And you know, I thought he would reply back, but
I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 12 (39:09):
So and he.
Speaker 5 (39:10):
Replies back to so many people that like have reached
out thinking it's me, So I thought he would reply
to me.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
So now you're just going to leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, I think we should call it.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
No no, no, I don't want to call it thirteen kid.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
But it's just been such an interesting story. Like he
really last week he went back and forth with some
of my friends in a group text because he said
they were like, oh, sorry, we thought this was Amy's
new number. He goes, well, now I'm invested in this story.
He's pretty good. So then he was texting back and
forth with them, and that's how I got so much
information about how you know, I get a lot of texts,
and you know, I know that he's yelled at my
(39:46):
family before and threatened to call the cops on some people.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
So yeah, a good idea call him. Well, I just think.
Speaker 5 (39:52):
If we like explain it, and it's like kind of funny,
like I want to know who's been texting me, Like
I want to know what what messages am I missing
out on.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
That's a twenty two yearyear old, Hey, give it a rip,
it's a thirteen year old kid. I just think there's harmless.
That's what every predator says. And you're not a predator exactly,
you're not a predator, but that's what every predator says.
And want you to feel I'm harmless. Get in.
Speaker 5 (40:12):
No, I'm not going to say get in careless.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
I don't like thirteen year old?
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Well, like, do I have?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
What if?
Speaker 5 (40:16):
What if I have some really good texts in there
that we've missed out on.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
You know that's on you though you call the kid
If you do, don't tell us about it?
Speaker 9 (40:28):
Like what if you call it and then the mom like, oh,
let me answer this.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
I know who you are, and they call the cops
and goes amy the Bobby Bon't Show was calling soliciting
my thirteen year old kid?
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Okay, what if I send a text and say, hey,
just make sure you call my last text?
Speaker 2 (40:46):
You sound like a creepy Did you get a thirteen
year old?
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Did I text the right number?
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (40:51):
She texted her real numbers?
Speaker 9 (40:53):
Talking about herself.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
I might need you to confirm my old number because
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
In my phone I don't have it. It's only my laptop.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
Okay, goot, get so I could that could be a problem.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
I could because I feel like, oh, yeah, yeah, nothing
if I texted it right, nothing he has. I was
pulling it up to see if maybe I missed his reply.
I even said I'm sorry if it's been annoying.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
You know.
Speaker 5 (41:20):
I thought he'd be like, oh, it's cool, all good, but.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
I'll see it because oh my god, goodness became obsessed.
Ammy was at lunch yesterday and this woman was being
loud next to her.
Speaker 10 (41:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (41:33):
We were at I had a lunch meeting at a
pretty nice restaurant.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
And business business moves.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
Yeah, I mean it was a business moves. Yeah, it
was the thing. And this woman was so loud and
she was telling a story. And there she was with
maybe her parents, and this is a grown adult woman
and the parents are older. So I'm like, we were
trying to figure out is she's talking loud because maybe
they're hard of hearing what is behind this loud voice.
(42:02):
So not only that, we could hear every word, and
she used the R word twice in her story.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
She was being loud and using the R word out loud.
Speaker 5 (42:10):
Yes, And we were mortified. Like, first of all, it
was we were embarrassed for her for talking so loud, yeah,
and then we were embarrassed for her that she was
using that word.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
You gotta lower the volume when you say things you
don't want people that you shouldn't be say, you shouldn't
be saying it anyway. But if you're gonna say stuff
like that, or if you have a secret, or if
there's you're gonna even curse.
Speaker 5 (42:31):
Yeah, because it's basically cursing, but wor that's worse than cursing.
And she was telling a story like ha ha ha laughter,
and I'm.
Speaker 12 (42:40):
Like, how do what was the story?
Speaker 5 (42:43):
Well, I don't know the detail. It's like you could
just hear her. She was loud and you could hear
certain words. But she was very jovial and loud.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
And use our word and use the R word twice.
Speaker 5 (42:55):
Twice and then we're like, oh, then, so now we're laughing,
and we're like, this is not mature. This is not mature.
We don't need to be laughing at this. But we
more so were just laughing at how ridiculous it all was.
I thought maybe, I mean, it's a nice enough restaurant.
I thought someone might go over and be like, ma'am,
could you.
Speaker 2 (43:11):
Could you not say the R word or turn it down?
Turn it down and you turn it down and say
less our.
Speaker 5 (43:15):
Word even without the R word. I thought they would
ask her to just please be quiet.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
How the business?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Don't that's good?
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Close a little deal?
Speaker 1 (43:23):
I'll tell you about it. It's not like that.
Speaker 5 (43:24):
It's more it's charity type stuff.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
But yeah, oh given not making no.
Speaker 7 (43:32):
Making money charity tell us, yeah, I'll talk about that.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
That weird making that money.
Speaker 5 (43:42):
Not weird though, Like what's wrong with people?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Oh yeah, what's wrong with people? For sure? For sure?
And now in eight minutes, I did eight accidental successes.
This is from YouTube that I did over at Bobby
Bones Channel. I just thought this is pretty interesting, so
I'm going to put it here. Don't worry, we still
got part two coming up. This is a accidental success stories.
Here you go. I have a list here of eight
(44:06):
accidental successes, things that never should have been successful, that
have become wildly successful and they never should have been.
So if you're watching this now, you've never been successful,
you never know this could happen to you. Number eight Airbnb.
Think about this. Two thousand and seven. Roommates Brian and Joe.
They were struggling to pay rent San Francisco, Who's not
It's a really expensive place to live. A major conference
(44:29):
had filled local hotels. There was nowhere for anybody else
to stay, and so they put air mattresses in their
apartment and they charge people to stay there. They called
it air bed and breakfast because the air inside the
air mattresses. The idea was never intended to become a
global company. So what started as a way to make rent,
(44:51):
because again they were struggling to pay rent, and then
there warn't enough hotel rooms for everybody there ended up
being freaking Airbnb, billions of dollars worth of Airbnb. Okay,
that's number eight. I really try to do ten here.
I only got a strong eight. Number seven. If I
do down, down it, I can't do that, damn it.
(45:15):
I'm trying to do the guitar like the sweet child
of mine. Okay, it's hard to do with my mouth
right now. That guitar riff should have never happened. It
almost never happened. Slash, big hat, top hat, long black hair,
guns n' roses guy. He was fooling around during rehearsal,
playing what he considered just a goofy warm up exercise.
(45:38):
And so as he was playing it down air and
there and there, the rest of the band they were
already there, so they just jumped in and started playing
around his finger warm up, and so what began as
a joke was the foundation of Sweet Child of Mine
and Guns and Roses. I think only number one Billboard
(45:58):
Hot one hundred song. They had a bunch of rock
number ones, but I think that's their only song to
ever go number one on the Billboard Hot one hundred
like pop charts. So it's one of the most recognizable
songs ever, most recognizable guitar licks ever. And it was accidental.
It was just slash still can't get it there with
my mouth. Number six Google Image only ever happened because well,
(46:23):
sort of an accident, and it all goes back to
the year two thousand when Jennifer Lopez was wearing that
green dress where you can see the inside of her boobs.
That was a Versace dress, and that image got so
famous from the Grammy Awards that so many people looked
up in their Google search bar green dress that it
exposed that people just wanted to see pictures, not news articles,
(46:47):
and so there weren't a lot of articles about the dress,
but there was the picture, and because of overwhelming demand,
Google did, okay, we'll just do a Google image search
as well. So because of that, because of that red
carpet green dress that Jennifer Lopez wore, Google image was created.
Number five microwave ovens should have never happened. This story's crazy.
(47:09):
Let's go back to nineteen forty five. There was an
engineer named Percy, and he was working with radar technology.
And as he's working, God loved the chocolate bar Kevin
his pocket. But he would work with his radar technology
and he would notice that the chocolate bar continued to melt,
(47:30):
which told him, huh, something's hot here. Also probably killed
all of a sperm, but melted the chocolate bar a
few times. Then he started experimenting with popcorn kernels and eggs,
and so that microwave technology ended up being the microwave
we know now so completely by accident. Every modern kitchen
(47:51):
now has a microwave. I'm not sure if that dude
ever had kids after the whole chocolate bar thing, but
it was a melted chocolate bar a few times in
a row in his pants that in it up giving
us the microwave. At number four, WD forty WD stands
for water displacement in case you didn't know, and I
didn't know, And the formula that ended up working was
(48:14):
the fortieth attempt, so water displacement forty fortieth is WD forty.
Engineers were trying to create this compound that would prevent
rust and corrosion on their aerospace equipment. They ate thirty
nine versions thirty nine, two, three, four five. At this
(48:36):
point you're wondering, is he going to do thirty nine six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
And now you're going I bet he's gonna do thirty
nine because he's already done ten, eleven, twelve. We'll stop
at twelve because if you're OCD, that's going to drive
you crazy. So thirty nine versions failed. On the fortieth
that was the one. It was still solid after thousands
(48:59):
of a ten hemps. But that fortieth one is the
one that hit, and that's where WD forty comes from.
Water dis placement fortieth attempt boom never supposed to be
a thing. Number three Plato. Before kids were squishing the
snakes and dinosaurs, Plato was sold as wallpaper cleaner. You
take it, put it up on the wallpaper. Mostly back
in the day, homes were heated with coal, so as
(49:22):
the coal was heating up and it would go on
to the wallpaper, you had to somehow get the coal
off the wall. So that's what Plato was. That was
its original use, but then kids started playing with it
as they often do, and then turning the coal cleaner
into again dragons and dinosaurs and race cars, and they
(49:45):
sold a lot more because kids wanted to play with it.
And if your wall still have coal to this day,
try it out. I bet it still works. Plato never
supposed to be a kid's toy, was only supposed to
be a wall cleaner. Number two glue. During World War Two,
scientists were attempting to develop clear plastic gun sites for
(50:07):
the military, so on their weapons obviously, Now if you
think of a gun, you think of the gun site,
it's metal, it's got a little that thing. They wanted
them to be clear, and they were, but one of
the chemicals that they created was unbelievably sticky, and it
kept running experiments because it was bonding to whatever weapon
or anything that it touched at all. So it was
(50:28):
a massive failure because of what they were trying to create.
Years later, one of the guys goes, hey, you know
that thing that was super sticky, What if we actually
used it to be sticky? What if we used it
as an adhesive? And that's exactly what they did. So
it was never meant to be superclue. It was meant
to be a gun site that was clear, and it
(50:50):
just kept sticking to everything. Number one where won now
bubble wrap. Originally bubble wrap wasn't for packages at all
ineteen fifty seven, and vendors were trying to create a
trendy textured wallpaper and they thought, why don't we seal
air bubbles between two plastic shower curtain type things, and
(51:13):
so the wallpaper idea flopped. Obviously that would be so annoying,
but they realized that that material would be great for
protecting items if they were shipping it, and so that's
exactly what they did. So what was failed as a
home to core product became one of the most recognizable
packing materials in the world. So those are eight things
that accidentally succeeded. And if you're out there and you've
(51:36):
never succeeded, you might accidentally succeed too. Probably not, but
you never know. Bobby Bone show Sorry up to day.
Speaker 7 (51:45):
This story comes us from Shawnee, Kansas. A woman wanted
to do some remodeling in her garden put some new
flowers in. So she gets in the car drives up
to the mall. Malls closed gets her shovel out and
dig up all the.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
Plants, the plants that were at the mall.
Speaker 7 (52:05):
The landscaping plants. You know they have flowers outside the mall.
She dug them up.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
Yeah, the ones of the mall. They weren't selling. It
was just to make the mall look better. It's what
I'm right.
Speaker 7 (52:13):
She dug them up with a shovel, put them in
her car, drove them home.
Speaker 3 (52:18):
Do that.
Speaker 7 (52:18):
And the only problem is they got her license plate
and they said, this is the third time she's done it.
