Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
There was a story today. It was kind of an
update on the Savannah Guthrie mom story. In the update,
dish she's still missing. Wild, not that that's still a
thing where they can't find her.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Savannah shared a new message yesterday asking God or somebody
to bring her home. The amount of just unsettled in
her gut and heart and brain. It's just got to
be tremendous. So she's fifty four. She shared a post
on her Instagram stories. According to people that read, oh

(00:36):
my my soul, it cries out, soul, it cries out,
bring her home. Nancy eighty four went missing from her Tucson,
Arizona home on February first. It is just wild with
all the resources that they cannot find her or whomever
them is, especially with what they do have, which is

(00:58):
there's actual camera foot if somebody doing something.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yes, we've seen it.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's to the point now where it's so bizarre. Now
I go, is something else going on?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:14):
And I don't at first, I never fall naturally to
that side. But after this, with all the resources, and
it's not a local versus FBI thing, where the if
the FBI comes in and they want to bully local around.
They do don't believe that that doesn't happen where they're going. Oh,
the sheriff says, it's their jurisdiction. They're going to keep
the FBI out. FBI will run alongside and do whatever

(01:37):
it wants to do, regardless if you let them or not.
But that's the update there. It sucks, and it's wild
they cannot find her. What I would be curious to
know and I will never know is what they do know.
And I bet you there's people banging their heads against
the wall at some stage of this going we know

(01:58):
this much, why can't we get the rest? So update
not a good one, but that's what's up amy.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
So ticks are everywhere. They're getting worse everywhere and worse.
So there's this whole article about it, and the CDC
says that emergency room visits for tick bites are at
their highest level for this time of year since twenty seventeen.
And I was looking at like a map of the
United States that shows like where all the ticks are,

(02:26):
and one of the graphics was from nineteen nventy five,
and it's like, oh, some dots like, oh, ticks are here.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
The entire Northeast is just like a blue blob because
that's how many ticks are up there. So they just
put out some reminders as the things you can do,
and taking a warm shower after you've been outside is
one of the best things because the hot water will
get the tick off of you before they can attach.

(02:53):
So his parents especially, I've got kids that have been
playing outside because that's what I think of, think of
like Stevenson loves like running through stuff. He's not paying attention,
and then when he gets home, if I just have
him rents off in warm water, that might help. And
then uh, they did say something there's like some product
you can like put on your clothes, but that scares me.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Well right, Also, like, what's the reason this is a
very uninformed question. I guess most are, but what's the
reason there are way more ticks?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Short answer is the weather. For years, warmer temperatures have
helped ticks expand into new regions, but this winter may
have given them an additional boost. In the Northeast, where
lime disease is most common. Ticks use the snow like
an igloo and then.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Sounds like hot helps, then cold helps. Yeah, yeah, huh
So what how do you get rid of them?

Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, they're working on that, like they are trying to
figure out a way to do it. But we as
for our bodies and then our parents, for our kids
and our pets, is just doing constant tick checks, especially
this summer, like it's just like okay, time to check
for ticks or maybe a.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Tic conspiracy theory because I want to believe one. Come on,
Oh no, I don't have Wow, this sounds like bull
crap where it's like, well, if it's hotter, it means
more ticks, but if it's colder, it means.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
More ticks because they made an igloo.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
But that's what I'm saying, like both, unless Amy's reading
it wrong.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
No, no, I've heard. No, I'm not. I just read
to you say.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It sounds so weird that the hot and cold both
expands ticks unless it's hotter and colder, which is like, uh,
you know, the global warming type thing. Global warming doesn't
mean it's getting warmer. That's often no, so that would
be a misinterpretation of global warming.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I thought it meant like the ice caps were milk.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's part of it. But global warming is both the
warming getting warmer and the colder, getting colder. It's the
polarity of.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Both, got it extreme of both?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yes, that would be, what so people when you see
them online going, ain't getting warmer? Look how cold it is.
We got twelve inches of snow this year. Last year
we had ten. No, it's the polarity of both. That
would be. It's just a bad pr job. But whoever
named it global warming? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, okay. So they're hiding out in their little igloos
because there's moisture in the snow, they're not drying out,
and so they've been able to survive much better than
in some other years. Plus, suburban development patterns create the
perfect environment for ticks, which love the edge between wooded
areas and neighborhoods.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm looking for a good conspiracy to believe here.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I have seen some online that tics are being like
the government's like.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, I'm in whatever you're about to say, I'm in.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
So they can spread twenty different diseases, line being one
of the most popular that we know of, and that
we've talked about this the other day. I think with Morgan,
it takes anywhere from forty eight to seventy two hours
for that tick being in your skin for that to happen,
but other diseases spread more quickly. So one of the
conspiracy theories I've seen online is that some group WI,

(05:41):
whether it be the government or some company, they have
all these ticks and they pump them full of the
diseases and then they sett them loose to come bite us.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I got a couple here, the Plumb Island weaponization theory.
It is a theory that alleges that during the Cold War,
the US militarily ran biological war fair experiments at the
Plumb Island Animal Disease Center off Long Island. Proponents claim
the scientists infected ticks with man made I'm not sure
how to say this, but it's a bacteria that causes
lime disease, and then either intentionally or in intentionally they

(06:12):
were I guess will be unintentionally released. Uh. The there's
a lot and I don't don't know if I believe
that one, but man, that would be a great way
to again kind of a biological warfare in another country,
like infect tics, and you have to do it here
to see.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
If it works among your own people.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
No, you do it somewhere, like they're saying, an island
where no one is. And you do put these diseases
in ticks and you fly over your enemy and drop them.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
That'd be crazy.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
That'd be crazy, every kind of warfare.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, I did read a story, and I want to
sound stupid because I don't remember the details. But I
believe they were having such a bad lime disease problem
with these ticks that they're importing rats and releasing them
into this area just so they can go eat ticks.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Have you seen the Google mosquito story.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
That one's crazy.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah, they've asked for permission, and Mikey may pull up
the exact numbers, but to drop millions of mosquitoes into
these areas where certain things are going wrong, like even
mosquitoes because they have something inside them that if they mate,
will kill the bad mosquitoes. Whoa, oh yeah, yeah, thirty
two million. I was just say thirty million, But I
hate being wrong about that because I get hit up.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
You're too off.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Well, I wish I would have said thirty but uh,
but yeah, And so Google seek permission to release millions
of mosquitos in California and Florida. Google wants to release
millions of mosquitoes into the sky. Thirty two million the
debug project. In this one, it says it could be
up to sixty four million mosquitoes entirely sterilized by this

(07:48):
bacteria and then it would feed it too. It's almost
like when you have these bug killers in your house,
and what you do is you put in the corner
and they go take it and they go back, they
take it a little their home, and they go back
to their home and it kills everybody else.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yes, yes, it's.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Almost that kind of thing, except for it that it's mosquitoes.
I was watching this video on social media. You ever
see those things where they put animals that kill And
it was like tiger too. And then it goes to
the next one. It's a slightly up higher pedestal. It
says like rats forty two, like a.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Year, how many people they kill?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
You? Then the next and then number one was mosquito.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Wow, because of the diseases.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Because the diseases, mosquitos kill more people than every other
animal combined.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Have you seen the guy on TikTok who does like
a bunch of like weird questions and he's like, doesn't
that concern you? It's like he's talking to you like
a buddy. Of his and one of them is if
a mosquito needs human blood to reproduce, does that mean
we are the mosquito's parents. Does that not concern you?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
But we need food and ananchelota is not my parents.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
He's kind of like ear music behind it really funny.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
All right, more around the room, lunchbox over to you.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Back in twenty twenty four, there was this guy in Arkansas.
His daughter had been groomed online by a sixty seven
year old man, and the guy was charged with grooming
and abusing her. Well, he woke up one morning at
one am, found his daughter was gone again, found him
in the car with a sixty seven year old man,
ran the car off the road, pulled out a gun,

(09:27):
bah bah, shot and killed the sixty seven year old.
He's charged with second degree murder. It's about to go
to trial, and during this time, he's running for sheriff
this year and he's won the nomination and right before
trial the department accidentally lost the footage and so charges
are dropped.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, they cleared him. I don't like the accident lost
the footage. I think that can be two separate things
with what would you have done if somebody had your
kid by accidentally losing the footage. You just can't do that.
You can make a decision based on the facts, but
you can't accidentally lose footage.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, because obviously it didn't accidentally get lost.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
And then it was in this situation like I'd be
fine with it, but we can't do it situationally.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I yes, because I understand. And then also, when you
were in a position like that, that's not how justice
is served, don't.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
It wasn't a sheriff, then you're saying, just as a.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Dad as in our society, that's not how that's not
how our system is set up.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I still probably would have shot him.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh, I totally understand that. It's just that. Yeah. Hopefully
if he makes it to that position of power, he
follows the system right like we have.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I think it's not even about him. I think you
can't lose You can't lose the footage, because you can
lose the footage on any case that you want it
to go a certain way exactly. I think, guess that's
a really bad I think the guy that was growing
the daughter, you know what, you got shot? Peace out, buddy.
I think you can't lose the footage. You gotta let
it go, and you have to let our country do
what our country does, and it needs to go to court,

(11:01):
and the jury needs to find him not guilty. If
I'm ajor, I'm finding him not guilty. You can't. You
can't lose the foot that's such a bad that's such
a bad thing.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, obviously people helped him lose the footage.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh yeah, no, one thinks they actually lost the footage, right.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Right, No, No, I don't think they, like I think
it was on purpose. And the judges like, well, if
they don't have the footage, then we have to drop
the case, drop the case. And so now he's free
and won't phrase charges ever again.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
For you, that's crazy, And I'm okay with him being free.
But again, we have a system in place, like there's
a reason that we can go all the way back
to the forefathers all to the judicial system justice, fairness,
and not.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
That our system is always fair.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
But you can't lose the footage, being like wink wink,
nudge nudge. Can't do that.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't understand what happens. So he grew the old man.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
He even raped her.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, he was charged with sexually abusing her. I mean
because she was fourteen, and so he was still out trial,
and I guess they were still communicating and the daughter
snuck out again and was out with him in the
car when the father woke up at one am, found
the daughter, gone, went looking for him, found them driving.
He ran them off the road, pulled out a gun.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Got it.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
And that's what prosecutors were saying, was hey, like he
could have called nine to one one like when they
were in the car.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Because the daughter witnessed him shooting the guy first.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
I think he was in the ex military guy as well,
and I think she was. It doesn't I mean, it's
I think she was thirteen, not that there's a big
difference between thirteen and fourteen. Let me find the story here.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Because a man says fourteen in the news article.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Spencer, a US Army combat veteran, had been scheduled to
stand trial within weeks. Prosecutors alleged that Fossler was driving
away with Spencer's thirteen year old daughter when her father
caught him and shot him to death on October eighth,
twenty twenty four. Court documents showed them on the night
of the shooting, Spencer woke up at one am to
find his daughter missing from her bedroom. Went searching for
her in his truck. He found the girl in the

(12:58):
passenger's seat. Spencer eventually forced Fossler's truck off the highway,
called nine one one to report he had shot the man.
Prosecutors argued that Spencer intentionally carried out the killing, and
argued that he could have contacted law enforcement officials during
the pursuit rather than taking matters into his own hands.
Right your own kid. That's tough. I think it needs
to go. It needs to go to a jury. We
can't lose dashcam footage because when it's lost for other things,

(13:23):
we go. It seems a bit corrupt, yep.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
And it seems crazy to wait this long to lose
the footage. If you're going to lose it, lose it
right away.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, that dude's dead. I got no problem with that.
That's not my problem at all. But yeah, it's there's
so much nuance to this, because really, you can't go
out just shooting people if you don't like what they did.
But then if it's your daughter, you go I shoot them.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yeah. Sometimes people are just like I'll take the post.
I don't care yep.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Uh, that motivated him to run for sheriff. And it
wasn't like he just was running for sheriff. I think
this whole thing motivated.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Him to run for sure.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh this is like I know it because it's from
Arkansas and you get a daily feed. Yeah, basically my
algorithm is that. Yeah, I get Arkansas, Austin and Nashville, Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I mean I get a lot of stuff from the
valley on TikTok, Like it's a lot of valley stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Am I messing any of that story up, Mike.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
From you together?

Speaker 4 (14:22):
No, that's it?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, Yeah, but for real, if somebody had my daughter
and I'm trained with a gun, and I'm not saying
I wouldn't do that, but that's not what I have
an issue with. I think it's you can't quote lose
footage accidentally, because then you can do that about any
case that you pick and choose, and that's that that
is not what our country is about. That. I would

(14:45):
have shot him too, probably because who knows what he's
doing while he's driving or bad story, Yeah, Nuance, but
he is going to go free. Judge cited law enforcements
mishandling of dash camera SD card of it. It's from
Aaron Spencer's truck. If I'm a juror, I'm not convicting him,
but I think it should have got to that point.

(15:07):
Let's see, I got all mixed up because I had
to stop the feed earlier. Me. I don't know if
I even did me Amy did hers ticks ticks.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I did not, But you did something.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, mine's always like, what's on my mind?

Speaker 3 (15:18):
I don't remember what it was?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, me either.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Okay, Eddie, do your's then mine's crazy. So there's a
dog that was kind of a celebrity in China. It
was huge on China's version of TikTok, millions of followers. Well,
the dog got stolen and they went looking for the dog.
Turns out that so the guy that owns the dog,
he would do videos with the dog, right like they
were the two little celebs. Well, he was going on vacation,

(15:43):
decided to leave the dog with his dad. The dad
took him to work. Next thing, you know, the dog
got loose. Somebody thought it was a stray dog, so
they took the dog. And this is the crazy part.
They took the dog and sold it to a meat company,
what for twenty seven dollars because I guess in China.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's also it wasn't really about the famous sofaic dog.
It was just that here's a dog, we can steal
it and make a quick bog.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Correct. And there's footage of all this.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm looking at it.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
There's footage of the abduction. So the owner comes back
and he's like, look, let's find these people. And they
ended up finding the people that stole the dog, and
the people were like, straight up, hey, man, like we
thought it was a straight dog. We had no idea
that this was your famous TikTok dog. And that's just
I don't know, people buy those kinds of dogs for
dog meat.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
You want to hear a quote that's pretty crappy. The
quote is the dog is dead. Stopped making it fuss.
I didn't it did not break the law right because
they thought it was a straight dog.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Right, which is crazy. That's not the law.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Well, I don't know the Chinese law, but a stray
dog eventually though, even here it gets put down.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, but I mean, I don't know. I thought it
was crazy the fact that they have like these markets
that they can sell it and like these restaurants where
that's just what they have.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
They have dog meat, and that he sold it for
twenties and it was okay. So you know who's a
fault here, the dad.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, the dad is the one that lost him for sure.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
But I've yeah, but I mean sometimes you man, you
guys are bringing the sofy. I just saw like ticks
and thirteen year old.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Tick tips, tick tips take a warm shower after tick tips.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
I just read my story and I was like, this
is crazy, Like that's great. Is a different world man?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh yeah, oh I don't. I don't. That wasn't my
takeaway really, the fact.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
That somebody stole a dog and then sold it to him.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
They didn't steal the dog.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Well, they thought it was a straight dog.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Again, that is where you're wrong. They did not steal
the dog. There was a dog running on the streets
that thought it was a straight dog. And what you
can do there by law is take a straight dog.
And I think that is weird. After that, what they
do they sell it, maybe eat it, who knows. Yeah,
but they didn't steal.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
But the owner said it had tags on it and everything,
caller tags. That's not a straight dog, man.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't know if it did. We don't know if
it did.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
The dog's name was too though.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
That sucks for the guy who owns the dog. Aside
from it being famous. That's just like the all I
love my freaking dogs, all right, God dang Morgan. Well
mine's not bad.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
That's kind of more funny. So there was a truck
that was driving in Tennessee. It was kind of outside
of Chattanooga, and it was had a trailer full of fireworks.
There's a video of this that's really cool and cool
Is that cool?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I mean, thankfully pretty wilde that far. Yeah, the truck
was okay.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
There's no like injuries or anything reported, but it was
entire fireworks show on the highway.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
How was the truck okay?

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh my, there's no.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Way that truck's okay.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Well, I would say there's nothing that is explosive enough itself.
And and they don't blow up like a bomb blows up. Yeah,
that's crazy. It looks like the greatest mm hmm ground
and it's a fireworks show. You wish that they would
just when the top of the trailer so it can
really do his thing and then play some music like

(19:04):
there was a button Okay, well I'm not as well.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
They played Ray Charles America.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I mean that looks awesome. No injuries, It looks awesome, dude.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
But look look, look there's a smoke bomb too, the
blue smoke bomb.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
You see one of those little snakes that grows Those
are now growing out of the side of it.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Tank comes out terrible fireworks.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
Yeah, if you're stuck in traffic, that's traffic. I want
to be stuck in at least you get a show.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, you know, so is this I would be concerned
though that it was going to go boom if I'm
watching it close.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
I was waiting for it to go like we knew.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Now that didn't happen, so we can watch and go
that's fun. But if I'm one of these cars right
here across from it, I'm probably a little weirded that
it's going to go boom.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah. So is this guy face timing? Is that why?

Speaker 1 (19:52):
I think he's the news? What is that I see
him FaceTime?

Speaker 5 (19:55):
I think that's just something due that was there, like.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
He was over The videos are now like if you're
taking a video, it'll take, it'll show you and what
you're looking at.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
They do huh, all of them. What are you talking.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
No, it's a setting. Yeah, on the new latest update.
It is an option.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well mind to me, I'll be like just pick on.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
No, I don't want me on there. I'm trying to.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Get just a video out there. Okay, okay, good, that's better.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Thank you, Morgan slightly better.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Guess Following the Karen Reid stuff, What's what's happened?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
So now there're sue she's suing the police department, and
it's a whole thing where a lot of these texts
are being put out there, but the cops. I don't
know if you guys are following it at all. Oh,
she's gonna make so much money, Like she's gonna make
so much money off of this. Whenever, let me find
the story. Karen Reads sues cops over murder investigation. This
time she's the plaintiff. This is from news Or. The

(20:45):
Massachusetts woman acquitted last year in the death of Boston
police officer John o'keef has filed an eighty seven page
lawsuit accusing the town of Cannon the Massachusetts Police Department of
a culture of bias and corruption.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
He and Reid.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
They're talking about John O'Keefe in a relationship with the
time right now, he says, he and Reid maybe.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
They cut off cut off the s and he read
her Karen read great job.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
My mind was thinking, I saw some text messages that
were bad, bad, bad on TikTok. They were showing from
who the.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
Cops, the corrupt, the cops.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
Bad bad, like really from the ones that I saw,
if true, superan a semitic, misogynistic slurs about her, just
an absolute bias. Saw some other ones too that had
nothing to do with her that they were talking about

(21:41):
it because they found in the mix where like people
would be injured and they wouldn't be white, and they'd
be like, well, we can get to them second. So yeah,
if what I saw is true, and who knows could
not have been, I believe it was.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
But you mean, like, if what you saw like took
just make up text messages and.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Never know, photoshop some of them from Here's one from
Boston twenty five news. This is one of them that
I saw so that that I thought maybe could have
been fake. It's not. From Boston twenty five News. Two
days ago, they post this text quote America sucks. Hyler
was really onto something and then the blank Us had
to step in and run it. Actually, take your time.
I saw blank was involved talking about somebody that I

(22:25):
think was black, So I wouldn't rush. If you're working,
let them die.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Oh my gosh, let them die.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah. So what I did see lines with what this
news is sharing the Texters. Oh that's bad news. It's
bad news, bad people.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
She kind of needs the money, huh though, because like
she I mean, they didn't have.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
To pay for legal fees. She didn't fay legal fees.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
No, she lost her job.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
She could have got a massive advance for a book, right.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
I don't she get paid for the documentary.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
I don't know her her money situation, but I don't
I would imagine she's not broke, or she has money
that people have loaned her knowing that she's going to
make a lot of money. If I were to compare
it off just speculation only when an athlete, when you're
going to get drafted really high, and you got that
six month period before you get drafted, that'll loan you
a couple of million because I know you're about to
get to agents, banks, companies.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
I just did friends.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
She did not get money for the documentaries, Okay, However,
following her acquittal, she and her legal team signed the
lucrative deal with LBI Entertainment to developed to develop a
scripted screen at a patient or her story, which is
expected to be financially significant.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
That make sense to watch that a scripted show on that, Yeah,
because the they did that with the Murdoch family and
that was good.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
That was really good.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I would do Elizabeth Olson as her.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Oh yeah, Karen Reid would be good.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
You know what I saw yesterday? What I saw Jeremy
Pivens sold his house in LA for like six point
eight million. That pop up on your feed?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Nope, cool?

Speaker 3 (24:03):
How does it to set to move? Because I started thinking, like,
who is he moving somewhere?

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I don't know. I just said, sold his Jeremy pivenfetches
six point eight million for Los Angeles home whose poll
looks to wide city views. Apparently he had listed it
for like seven eight or something seven point four and
it couldn't and sold it for six eight, which is
what he bought it for in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
But yeah, look at that buyer's market.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
A market for Yeah. I just saw that and thought about.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
You cool, that's cool, Amy.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, I'm not doing it. That's cool. Anything to step
in my feet. I saw that I follow like some
site and that does like big home closings all over
the country. Oh really yeah, and that covered his It's
kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, it's just kind of cool. Like every time I
see his name, I think of Amy.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I mean, I thought about that.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's why what am I supposed to say? That's why
I said?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Cool?

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Yeah? Cool.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Let's go talk to Mandy in Virginia Beach. Mandy, you're
on the show Good Morning.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Good and Learning everybody. So you guys were talking about
Morgan Wallan and throwing the phone. Now, I will say
that I totally agree with Amy that yes, somebody could
have gotten hit, and he sure could have or should
have had some better judgment. But at the same time,
it's kind of a two way street because a few
years ago, I was at a Luke Bryan concert and

(25:28):
somebody threw their brand new phone at him and it
was literally within five inches.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Of his head.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
What's the two ways to be?

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Respect both waves? So lets me respect both ways. He
has to respect the fans, but the fans also have
to respect him in his time and that he's actually
doing these things. So they can see him. It's the
same thing as you going out and performing when you
and Eddie were doing the raging idiot. Did you want
people to anything that you were head?

Speaker 1 (25:57):
No, but that didn't have to happen. I had nothing
to do with this. Like, nobody was throwing phones at him.
A security gud was holding the phone up.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
No, I get that. But what I'm saying is it's
two ways through something. It was a poor decision, but
people are throwing things at them all the time too.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
She's saying at times fans make.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
One doesn't have to do with the other at all, right,
Like none, Yeah, nobody throw anything. How about that.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
That's a good compromise.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, it's not a two way street. It should be
a no way street. Nobody should be doing That's what
she's saying. But one doesn't have to do it the other.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I think you're just saying, yeah, nobody throw anything. Fans
need to stop, artists need to stop.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I don't think anybody disagrees with that.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, he was having a very delayed reaction from that
show she was at, and he's.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Like, oh that was a Luke Bryant show. Oh okay, Yeah,
just stop throwing crap. Everybody. Everybody just stopped doing crap.
But that he know too. That's one way. Nobody throw anything.
People get hurt. All right, all right, we got that,
We got that, We got Yeah. You feel I feel
like she's the look confused, but that's okay.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Can we get hurt? I think we shoot. Nobody throw anything?

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Thank you Mandy
Todd and Florida Todd. You're on the show. What's up, buddy,
Good morning, studio morning.

Speaker 7 (27:12):
We I want tickets from the affiliated station down here
and to Gainesville for Morgan Wallen and Thomas Rhett was
He said thank you after every single song. And both
those guys are signing stuff and taking the phones and
doing the selfie swinging around. I don't know what it's called,
but it's selfie, and they're just so grateful for doing

(27:36):
what they're doing and being out there. And sure enough,
just like you guys were saying, people started throwing their
phones at them on stage, which is just you know,
I thought it was horrible because the show and the
music was fantastic, and those guys just deserve credit for
being so grateful for all their fans and what they're doing.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
You know, we got to stop throwing stuff or it's
gonna be chicken wire in front of this age again,
back like the eighties Roadhouse, Yeah, Blues Brother Roadhouse.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Why are they throwing their phones so they can get
us self.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Because they can't get close enough and they're like, well,
I'll throw my phone and maybe they'll take a selfie
at themselves and throw it back. Okay, don't throw anything.
That's how people get hurt, and then they don't want
to sign stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Anymore, and you ruin it for everybody.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I saw after Wallin's first show in Pittsburgh he went
out for like an hour and sign stuff on the stage. Yeah,
way after the show, like you waited around. So I
just don't think night too when he canceled, was about
anything other than weather, because there was bad There was
bad weather, Yes, he said his.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Team, the way his stage is set up, it could
be fatal. No artist wants to put themselves in the
situation where weather could take somebody's life.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, so I believe it. But then you're the one saying, well,
he did push the piano, he did throw the phone.
There's got to be something up.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Uh yeah, do two totally different things.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
But I'm saying you could put that into the same
narrative pretty easily.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
But I'm not because I'm thinking rationally people that are
putting it in the same bucket and being mad at
him for both like this, it's too totally different.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I don't think pushing the piano over and him throwing
that phone have anything to do with each other.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Uh no, no, no, no, I know. I don't like that
he did that at the shows, but I also can
recognize that he responsibly canceled a show by listening to
his team.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Maybe he did it himself. I got a good app.
They're just like, hmm, oh, like this app's looking.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
The radar app.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Yeah, it looks like some heavy winds and some dark green.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
We should cancel.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's how I explained bad weather to my wife. How
dark the green is that's coming towards us. All Right, Todd,
I appreciate that. Yeah, Thomas Rhett, good dude, So yeah,
appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
Cold.

Speaker 7 (29:44):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
All right, see you later. All right, you guys want
to call us, you can eight seven seven seventy seven, Bobby,
all right. This next thing is a podcast that I
did called in the Weeds, which is basically a lot
of the behind the scenes stuff. So we're gonna play
this for you enjoy. Here you go, Hey, everybody, Bobby
here for another episode of Behind the Scenes in the

(30:08):
Weeds frequently ask questions bts, wait, all those things. So
if you don't know the radio show or the podcast,
this is not going to be of interest to you,
But if you do, this might be. These are the
ten most asked questions over the past few weeks. Number one,
how much of the radio show is planned versus improvised?

(30:31):
When none of it is scripted? And planned would be
if I'm planning it for me, but nobody else on
this show knows really what we're going to talk about,
even fifteen seconds before we start talking about it. We
do have a sheet that is a Microsoft like a
I don't even know what it is. It would be
called a Google doc, thank you. And so we do

(30:58):
have a Google doc where people, if there's a new
story that they find interesting, they'll put it up on
the Google doc. And so I'll have that and I'll
go through. But of all the things that either I
want to talk about that's personal to me, or games
that we're going to play, or even stuff that I
pull from that Google doc. Nobody knows what's going to happen,
and that's generally been the rule for the entire time
that I've done the radio show, mostly because I want

(31:21):
their genuine reactions. So there is no script. We would
never be able to pull off a script. If you've
ever heard our segments where we try to act, we
would never be able to pull off a script. If
Amy has an idea for a segment and it's, hey,
I was this a grocery store and I saw a
guy get yelled at because he had fifteen items in
his cart instead of ten, Like obviously Amy knows that

(31:43):
I know that, but I don't even tell her that
we're going to do that until we do it, like
right before we do it, so it is planned by me.
The only other person that knows is Mike D. Because
Mike D on his desk has a bunch of all
the news stories that we might talk about, and he
keeps screen and he writes down everything we're doing in

(32:05):
case something has to be pulled or podcast order, or
if some segment goes really well and we mentioned a
certain city, he keeps a note, we'll send that clip
to that city. So they can run it on their
station outside of the morning show. So the real answer
is it is completely planned by me, but I do
not know what they're going to say, and they do
not know what I'm going to bring up, So I

(32:26):
guess it would be a little bit planned and completely
improvised by the show. Next up, what happens in the
room before the microphones turn on. I think you'd be
quite bored at what happens in the room. If there's
anything that is really interesting that we might be talking

(32:47):
about with microphones off, we'll just shut it down and
save it until the microphones are on. But that almost
never happens because it is a very tightly run ship.
While we're up there. As soon as we walk into
the room, and we all get there at different times.
Usually I'm the first one in the room. After that,
Amy follows, and then people kind of fall in. If

(33:11):
there is a free two minutes, we're recording something, commercials,
a national countdown show. I have a nighttime show that
gets played on like twenty markets, So there is almost
never any downtime. Whenever you're hearing commercials or the occasional song,
we're never just sitting around chatting it up. As soon

(33:33):
as we get there. We are getting in the absolute
most we can get in until it's time to go.
I have to remind myself to let people go to
the bathroom, like that's how tight it is. And I
don't say that as a joke, but I purposefully don't
drink a lot of water in the morning because I
don't want to have to leave my seat because then
I have to walk across the building and go to
the bathroom, and that's about four minutes of wasted time.

(33:54):
So you'd be terribly bored to know that really nothing
happens in the room before the microphones come on, or
even during the show. If I get there and for
some reason, Amy is not the second one in, if
Eddie happens to be the second one in, we might
have a couple minutes to just talk about a game

(34:14):
we watched or something last night. But Eddie's my best friend,
so but even then it's very little. Next thing, what's
the biggest thing listeners think is real that actually isn't real.
There's a couple answers to this one. The first one
is there are times we get into pretty big fights
on the show. They never last, even if they're real,

(34:40):
Like at times, for example, when Lunchbox and Abby really
got into it. In the absolute worst of cases, that's
over in six hours, because everybody knows as much as
you're not faking it, like you're kind of turning it
on because we're entertaining, not that we're entertaining, but we

(35:01):
are in the process of entertaining. Therefore, if it's compelling,
keep going. And yeah, there are times where it does
get a little touchy, and there are people who don't
take it as well as others on the show, and
it's a bit scary. But I think people think that
we would leave the room hating each other, or for
weeks would hate each other. Those fights that happen that

(35:26):
people stay mad for days or weeks you never even
know about because that would be something personal that happens
that never gets brought up on the air. And there
have been a few of those through the entire show.
I've been running the show for twenty years now. That
almost never happens, but occasionally it does. But the thing
that listeners think is real that actually isn't is whenever
people are fighting, that it's some massive fight that lasts

(35:48):
for a long time, like it's real while it's happening,
but at this point we kind of know it's on
to the next thing. The other thing is if you
hear someone performing on the show, it lain live. We
recorded it live. But about five or six years ago
I stopped having guests in live because one, they don't

(36:11):
want to be there early, and if it's their only option,
they will be. But no artist who typically wakes up
at ten am wants to be up at five point thirty, six,
six point thirty to drive in, to have to get
loose to perform at eight o'clock am. That is completely
against everything that they do. So I stopped forever ago
doing interviews live or performances live, so that's never live.

(36:36):
So that's probably something if you hear it, just know
if they're singing, we probably recorded at ten thirty or
eleven the day before, or even a few days before.
You know, there are times where if there's somebody that
I wanted on the show and they say, hey, we're
not going to be there the day that you want
to air this, I'm totally good with them coming in
a week before and recording it. So that would be

(36:57):
something that I think a lot of people feel that
is not live. Next up, Have you ever had to
stop the show because something went horribly wrong? What came
to mind was a few years ago, we were doing
a segment and I think it was a wheel segment
where if it lands on you, you have to do it.

(37:18):
And it was one of those really hot fireball not
even fireball. I don't drink, so I'm gonna be this
is gonna be confusing for me too. You know those
hot chips, you go to the gas station and get
a hot ship, eat it, die, whatever that is. I
think somebody actually did die, but you don't really die,
you just burn your mouth. They had a shot like that.
It was a really hot shot, and so from what

(37:41):
I remember, Amy lost. It could have been a game,
it could have been the wheel. Amy's a trooper. She
took the shot. She started to scream so loud, and
I don't remember exactly what she said. Maybe was like
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, or that I went
to commercial because I was that nervous that we were

(38:05):
I know was happening, but it wasn't good. It was
one of those rare times where I felt like, oh,
I've lost control of the situation and something bad maybe happening.
Now looking back, nothing bad happened. It just burnt the
crap out of her, and not even permanently or physically,
just that sensation of that shot. It burnt her so

(38:28):
bad that she thought she might be dying as well.
She didn't die. I can't remember what it was that
she said, like she might even said I'm dying. I
don't know, but it was so bad that we went
to commercial. I was like, we'll come back, because if
she did, I didn't want that to be live. But
that's when something went horribly wrong. I mean the other instance.

(38:49):
And if you're new to the show, maybe you don't
know about this, but this is when we all lived
in Austin, so me Amy Lunchbox. It's before Eddie had
joined the radio show. Eddie and I were working together
in television. We were already really good friends, but he
wasn't working on the radio show, and I thought it
would be funny to send Lunchbox to a gas station

(39:09):
to buy gum wear pantyhose on his head while he
did it, And so he did. And the whole bit
was be happy, don't be angry or aggressive or anything,
because you weren't pantyhose on your head. I'd be so
happy and buy the gum and get out. And he did,
and he bought the gum and he left, and then
as he was driving back, we're on the air live,
cops pull him overhold him a gunpoint handcuff him on

(39:32):
the ground, put him in jail. I'm on the air.
They come and they pull in multiple cop cars and
they're trying to take me to jail. And I walk
outside and I say, I, why didn't take me to jail.
I didn't do anything. I look over to cop car.
I see lunchbox in the back seat, handcuffed, and so
they took him to jail. We were suspended for weeks.

(39:56):
Thought we were losing our job. That's crazy. The thing
I really don't talk about. I might have mentioned it
a couple times. I don't know if I've ever mentioned
it publicly, was that had he gone into that store
and bought the gum and left, it was just adope,
a little bit kind of funny. We were trying a
bunch of stuff then, and had the guy not hit

(40:18):
the panic alarm, what she did, what she should have.
There was a guy with paneos standing at your counter.
I was going to send him to a bank to
withdraw money. Yeah, dude, I was an idiot. I was
like twenty four, twenty three, but my thought was, he's
not doing anything wrong. There's nothing. So they charged lunch
Box with terroristic threatening from that gas station incident, and

(40:40):
even then I'm like, really, we didn't do anything wrong.
We did, I'm stupid, but we didn't anything wrong, and
they dropped the charges eventually, but he spent time in jail.
We were front page of Local, the local newspaper, and
my general manager at the time had said, hey, as
long as it doesn't blow up, you'll probably get your
job back. It blew up. It was all over news.

(41:01):
We were never getting our job back. And that general
manager's name was Dusty Black. I got a dog about
a month after we were back on the air, and
that dog's name was Dusty after Dusty Black, the general
manager who did not fire me after all of that happened.
It was wild man, What a crazy time that was.

(41:21):
I was so young and stupid, but yeah, we were
definitely gonna go try a bank next. It's funny, like
it's funny to think about what like I like to
see how people react to stuff. The problem is I
saw how people reacted to that. Who went to jail
got his one call was to me too. It wasn't
even his parents. I had to call his parents and
he was like, hey, I'm in jail. I was like,

(41:43):
I know, I saw you in the back of the
cop car. But they got him. Man. The other thing
was whenever the ees went off and I got fined
a million dollars by the FCC, But that didn't stop
a show. I didn't find out that all that happened
until after the show was over. I played a sound.

(42:05):
It wasn't my fault. I stand by it. It locked
up a bunch of radio stations all over the country.
It locked up ATTU Verse. It was that eas tone.
It was supposed to be a dead tone. Regardless, you
got into a lot of trouble. I had to like
testifying hearings. It just didn't happen on the show. When

(42:27):
we realized what was going on, I was already off
the air that morning. But yeah, there's been a lot
of incidents like that. But the one that comes to
mind the most intense was when Amy was dying drinking
that hot shot. She might have died and come back
to life. That's how crazy it was. All of us
looked around like, oh no, what are we going to do?
So if you go find that YouTube on the Bobby

(42:49):
Bone Show YouTube page and watch it and just know
how I felt. Where I always feel like I'm in
control of everything, I did not feel like I was
in control of that. And shout out to Amy because
she took the whole shot. She didn't do this with
a taste. She like this who and the devil grew
inside of her? It was wild man. Okay, next, Bobby, Also,

(43:12):
i'm watching the video. You have it. You also put
pepper liquid in your eyes. I don't even remember that
because that was so intense. I think I touched my
eyes on accident. Oh she is, she's she's growing up violently. Yeah, yeah,
can Yeah. So I had it in my eyes too
because I touched it, and it didn't even matter to

(43:34):
me because I was so worried she was gonna die.
Are you watching it? She starts screaming like.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
We gotta have water ready for that.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
She was shaking. Just watch it on YouTube. Man, it
is crazy. I don't even like thinking about it all. Right,
Next up, what's the closest you've come to quitting radio. Never.
I got into some trouble my first few years here
in Nashville because I did a bit where I was

(44:07):
considering retiring, and all the executives of my company flipped
out because one they didn't know it was a bit,
and two the show had finally kind of got into
the positive where stations were picking up our show, and
so they're going, well, you're gonna make radio stations and
not want to pick up your show because they think
you're retiring. So that would be the closest when I

(44:30):
was kidding about retiring because my television career had started
to pop a little bit and I was doing a
bit to get people to listen. Who knows what it was.
But I've never been close to quitting. I've been very
close to being fired a few times, extremely but I've
never been close to quitting. Even now. It's like, I

(44:52):
love it. I don't like the hours sometimes in the morning,
but radio to me isn't what comes over a broadcast
terrestrial signal. That's a part of what I do at
this point. I mean, it's forty five percent of what
I do. But between that and the podcast and We've
been doing a dedicated podcast, not just like a repurposing

(45:14):
of our radio show, but like a dedicated podcast focused
on it since two thousand and eight. So that has
been a priority for me forever. But that's radio. Like
all that's radio. Anything to me that comes over your
phone and gets in your eyes and your ears, that's
all radio. It's like even the show on Netflix. You
know that's a podcast you're watching it. To me, it's
all a version of just doing content. But I've never

(45:34):
been close to quitting, and nor am i now, and
I love it now. It's different. I think I like
it maybe better now because I can go to all
these different avenues. I'm stretched too thin sometimes, like I
do too many shows. And I had to decide a
few years ago if I was going to just be
extremely precious and just do like one thing, one and

(45:57):
a half things and fun it all there, or just
spread it all out and do it in all these
different places. And honestly, the reason that I do so
many shows now is because I just want to make
the company money. Because you make the company money, the
company's happy with you, the company pays you more money.
Everybody's secure in their jobs. That kind of thing. So
when I say that, it's not about the money to me,

(46:20):
but as long as you're making the company money, it
doesn't make you or your people vulnerable. And this is
a weird time, especially in media, when a lot of
people are losing their jobs or being moved around, or
they're having more jobs added to their current job. To
do the same amount, it gets the same amount of
money that type thing. But between the Bobby Bone Show

(46:42):
that's on the radio, the Bobby Bone Show podcast, which
is not just a repurposed we do another hour and
a half basically every single day. Some people do like
that once or twice a week. We're doing the radio
show and that podcast. I'm doing two episodes of twenty
five whistles. I'm doing an episode a week of lots.
To say the show that it's the only show that's

(47:05):
not mine, I work for the NFL with Matt Castle
on that show. I'm doing that. I'm doing at least
two episodes of the Bobby Cast, which is an hour here,
an hour there with guests, and then we're doing YouTube content.
So there's a lot, and I expect nobody to listen
to all of it. But I had to decide if

(47:26):
I was going to go and spread it all or
just do very little, because I just didn't want to
beat in the middle. But right now, I make a
lot of money for the company. All of those shows
do really well numbers wise, so advertisers spend money with them,
and I feel like mostly that keeps my crew from
being vulnerable more so than me. I'm fine, I'm fine regardless.

(47:47):
If I just did one thing, I would be fine.
I've been I've worked hard, but working hard has allowed
I was gonna say fortunate, it's allowed some fortune. But
I don't want my peep to be vulnerable because if
they start looking to, you know, chop some things here
and there, which all companies do. Companies aren't personal. They're

(48:09):
going to go and chop things that aren't being productive.
And I don't want to ever be seen as not
extremely productive. Nor do allant my people to be seen
as vulnerable to be cut because they're not productive. So
that's what it is there. You go, how do you
say what makes the show and what gets cut? It's
all gut, every single bit of it. Never really had

(48:32):
a consultant, Like there are people in the company that
are great at it that I'll get research every couple
of years, and it's really valuable information. But one of
the great things about my company and our show right
now is that as long as it's making money, leave
well enough alone. They don't really mess with us. I've

(48:56):
never had to run content by anybody my entire career,
and mostly because I started on such a low level
that nobody cared what I was doing because I was
doing it on such a low level in such a
small place, and by the time that I had one
enough to move up to a bigger place, it was, well,

(49:17):
you got here for a reason doing what you do,
which is a bit different. So just keep doing that,
and as long as things don't take we'll let you
keep doing that. And that's kind of been how it's
been throughout my entire career. There are great people at
iHeart who are wonderful consultants that that help a lot
of shows. I've just never been a consultant show. There
are also these things this is really behind the scenes

(49:37):
that they would do for morning shows and radio people,
where they would go, Okay, imagine your target listener. It's
a twenty nine year old named Veronica. She's got a
kid and half I don't know how you have half
a kid. She drives a Dodge Drango. I don't even
know what that is. And make sure everything you do

(49:57):
fits her. That was a stud beest thing in the world.
And I get why maybe some people need to have
that filter. But for me, what's funny to me is
what makes the show. Because if I'm having to do something,
I don't feel like it's very funny, you're very compelling.
I'm not gonna be very good at it, and I
can only do it for so long before I go
this sucks. I'm not compelled to do this at a

(50:18):
high level, so it's not going to be that good.
My one filter forever has been do I think it's interesting,
that's it. Do I think this is compelling? If so,
let's do it. If not, let's not. We also don't
do any of those fake segments like second Date Update
or war the Roses, or they hire actors like, we
don't do any of that stuff because I don't want

(50:42):
to have to deal with well one. Honestly, early on
I was paying those actors because that's like a subscription service.
We don't have the money to do that. And so
then we got to the point, it's like, I don't
even want to do it because if we do anything
that's fake, people are gonna know. So we don't. But
that's the answer there. How do I decide what makes
the show? If I'm compelled, if I'm entertained by it,

(51:04):
we do it. That's it the end. And I feel
like if you don't have the capability to do that,
it can be show, podcast, whatever any content you're creating.
If you don't have the capability to just know inherently
what is compelling, you're never really going to get to
that high level if you're depending on people to tell
you what to do, rules to follow. The only rules

(51:26):
that we really follow are like time rules, like we
have to get out at certain points on the radio
show The Treastral Show. Obviously we can't curse since I mean,
we can curse a little if we wanted to, but
I don't, so we don't. But for me, what makes
the show is whatever I feel like entertains me, that's it.
Or if Amy's like, this is really great and I'm

(51:48):
so entertained by Amy telling the story even though I think,
well this might be dumb, but she really loves it,
I'm in because sometimes I'm just entertained at how fascinated
she is with something. So yeah, I wish got it
like a I don't want to say more complicated, but
like an answer that was more complex. But it's always

(52:12):
been the same, So I started, if it entertains me,
I think I'm gonna it's gonna entertain everybody else. The
show members hang outside of work, depending on which show members,
but generally no, we did though forever for years. You
have to remember, though, we've been together for twenty years,
which is crazy to think about. So before we had

(52:36):
our own families, married kids, other jobs, podcasts, we hung
out all the time, Like we went to dinners all
the time, wet vacations together. We were also very young together,
so yeah, we did a lot. I feel like I
got my fix and everybody I'm good well max out.
That being said, you know, we have a decently large

(52:59):
group of folks, and so not everybody's going to be
the same level of friendship or relationship with everybody. Obviously,
Eddie's is my best friend. Amy and I are very close.
Amy and my wife are very close, So you're just
going to see them outside. It's not Hey, we should
try to hang out because we work together. It's hey,
we're close, work together or not, we're going to spend

(53:22):
time together. So with Eddie and with Amy and with
Mike d a little bit. Although Mike it's kind of
like me. He's kind of a hermit, just goes home
and rather just stay inside his own walls. Yeah, that
would be the case there. We just do it naturally,
but not because we work together. But everybody kind of
has a different relationship with that. But we used to

(53:42):
yes all the time. And it's not that people started
liking each other less. It's just there are more elements involved, family, kids,
You got more people to have to give time to.
Next up, what does everyone on the show do as
their jobs? I think this is referring to our whole crew,
because if you just looked at our crew in a vacuum,

(54:05):
you'd go, that's a lot of people to do a show.
And I would agree with that because I feel like
I literally could just go turn a mic on if
I had one person just pushing buttons. We could do
the show with two people, me and a person making
sure that we're on. That's it. And heck I could
probably do that too if I needed to. I did
that at night all the time. But I can walk

(54:27):
you through everybody's job. So me, I'm obviously hosting the show,
but I'm hosting it and I'm performing in it. It's
two different things because sometimes they're just straight ahead hosts.
I'm also producing it in a way like I'm the
one picking the segments, going to people at certain times.

(54:47):
When somebody's got a hot hand, I go to them more.
Sometimes people don't even get in segments because well, there
are too many voices at once. I got to make
all those decisions, and that's a bit of producing the show.
So that's me. Amy job is obviously like my main person,
you know that part. But what she also does is
the women of Buy Our Country count It's like Countdown,

(55:08):
but a show I produce that she is the host
of it. She's also on the weekend Countdown with me.
She also has her own podcast. But mainly her job
is to be the person that I lean on the most,
and man, when she is on, I feel so free
to go places that I for we're live. There are

(55:31):
times where I'm going, man, I don't know if I
should go there because I may not be able to
get out of it. When Amy's on and she's been
on for like the last year. Like I know that
she is going to if I'm bombing, say something funny,
get me out of there. Like it's totally a safety
net when she's crushing it, and she's been crushing it.
That's her main job. Eddie's main job is brought in

(55:52):
to run camera, run cameras. He has a switcher, it's
a little box and as we're talking, he's running cameras
this camera, that camera. Like he's when you say on television,
those people that are all right, we're going camera three,
get ready three, go to go get ready, camera two,
go to go to He's doing all of that. Plus
he's also serving as a co host as well. Now
if his camera work and his editing because he edits

(56:12):
video clips as well. If that's not on, he doesn't
get on the air. But that's his job and he's
also been doing it for so long now. He pretty
naturally does this lunchbox. Uh it's color commentary, so right,
like that's it. He doesn't really have anything else that
he does, like a secondary type job. He has a
podcast on his own, Sore Losers, which is on the

(56:35):
podcast network that I have but like in the room,
he really doesn't have another job. Morgan runs all the
social all the social media pages that are Bobby Bone Show.
She's running those, She's making she's writing articles on the website,
so she's very much head of digital. Mike D is
the only other person that knows what we're doing on

(56:56):
the show other than me ahead of time, and he
has every page of everything that I think I may
go to. I have a button I can push and
be like, hey, bring me that article on the school
bus and he'll boom hand me the article because if
I had it all on my desk it would be
a mess. So a bit he's trying to predict where
I'm going to go, and he does a great job
at it. We've been together for a long time. Mike

(57:17):
D started as an intern who messaged me on MySpace
going like, hey, how do I intern? And I'll say,
just come up. And so from that now he's the
head writer of the show and he really is the
backbone of the show and doesn't really care that he's
not on that much. And he has Movie Mike's Movie podcast,
so he does his thing. But Mike is doing that
and there are times where if a segment goes long

(57:39):
or goes a whole different direction that I thought it might,
because I don't know where it's going to go. Like
I said, I don't know what people are going to
say or how they're going to react to things. He's
the guy I ask was that good? Was that not good?
Should we do that on podcast? Should we do that again?
Mike is that to me where I trust his instincts

(58:03):
to predict how I would feel about it if either
I wasn't exhausted or I didn't get lost in a
segment or a show, even like an interview. If we're
pulling clips to plan in the morning show, he's the
one that knows the clips that are great. Like he
very much. He's the illuminati of the show. He's secretly
in power. So i'd say about Mike Dean Scooba, Steve

(58:25):
is executive producer. As far as he does all the
talking with sales. If there's a call, he's on it
is making sure that the calendar goes out when people
need to be where and when if there's an issue.

(58:46):
Over the past six or seven years, he used to
be come to me, I have too much going on.
As far as like the creative performing elements that I do.
That's why I got Scooba Steve. They go to scoob
Steve and he handles that. He handles it most of them.
That happens if there's drama like workplace dynamic drama, if
it's between members of the show and sales, members of

(59:06):
the show and themselves, scoop A Seve handles all that.
I used to be the guy. I don't do that anymore.
But Scooba Steve handles everything behind the scenes. He's also
booking guests, just organizing, but massively important. Raymundo runs all
the audio. Oh, Scooba Steve also writes the weekend countdown,

(59:28):
so he has a bunch of jobs. Raymundo writes the
weekend countdown and no, no Scoobs Seve does that. Ray
Mundo does all the audio, all the sounds. He to
make sure everybody's MIC's on, he's playing sound effects. He
hits buttons to get us into commercial. He has to
be focused all the time, for hours at a time.
As soon as his day is over, when we stop recording,
because we'll stick around and do other stuff and the

(59:49):
building sometimes shoot video content, et cetera. He goes home
because he's fried because he has been paying attention to
every little thing that I'm doing for five hours. Sometimes
we have such a system where it can be just
a point or an head nod, and he knows what
button to hit, when to hit it, or fifteen seconds,
or he'll get in my ear. Sometimes he has the
ability to talk to me in my ear when nobody

(01:00:11):
else can hear what he's saying, and he'll say something like, hey,
you gotta fill twenty seconds because we can't let the
affiliates go to their local thing for twenty more seconds.
So he's always talking to me in my ear that
nobody else can hear. Abby answers phones, so if you
call Abby answers. But that's not even her main her
most important job. She produces a lot of segments, meaning

(01:00:32):
tell me something good that she finds those every one
of them she like vets through and then she writes
the teases for every single one of them. She's obviously
on the air a little bit too, but she definitely
is a segment producer with specific segments. So I think
that's that. And then in the back we have production guys,
but everybody has their roles. They're all needed. But even

(01:00:56):
the night show stuff that I do, Ray Mundo records
that and packages it up. Scooba Steed make sure everything
gets out. So that's what everybody does there. Kick Off Kevin,
you've heard him before. He does some sports stuff with me.
He is back in a production room and he is
first when I get there in the morning. He sits
beside me and I read pages and pages of commercials

(01:01:18):
and I'm out of it. And also it just gets
to be so monotonous that about seventeen pages into commercials,
I'm doing it for a half hour. He's just making
sure that I'm saying the right things. And also he
makes sure that I say the names of towns right,
especially if for doing liners for other radio stations. So
that's what he does first, and then he's back there editing, packaging,

(01:01:38):
sending off sending off night shows, sending off promo clips,
editing commercials like he's doing that all day, super important job.
But for the Bobby Bone Show, he's not really upfront much.
For the other stuff twenty five Whistles, he's a part
of that show as one of the people on the show,
but lots to say he's the main producer our NFL show.
All right, got two more. What's something you do differently

(01:02:03):
now that you didn't do five years ago. I think
this goes back to not everything is as live as
much depending on.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
What it is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
So also, if we get somebody who is has such
a funny thing that they're on and we we'll just
hit record after the show. Let's say we're recording the
podcast and someone's like, oh you know what I heard?
We just hit record. And sometimes we'll do a whole
segment record and just put it on the next day show.
That's not live. So I think everything was live starting

(01:02:37):
at five am not really the case as much anymore.
That camera died, We're just gonna leave that as is.
The camera cut out when I was talking. I was
talking so long it over ran. So yeah, live, that's it. Okay,
last question, now, how much plastic surgery do you have?
Great question? None. Here's the thing. I know how old

(01:03:01):
I am. I'm forty six. I have something that works
in my favor dramatically. It's these glasses. A lot of
people's ages in their eyes. These glasses are so bold
and dark, you just my eyes look like their infant eyes.
Sometimes they'll be walking in the street and they'll be like, hey,
are you an infant? And I was like, I'm like no,

(01:03:22):
They're like, well your eyes, I thought you were an infant.
So it hides that. Right. Another thing is I still
have my hair, which is awesome, and I think I'm
going to have it forever. So those two things have
allowed me to hide any aging. Well it's not like

(01:03:44):
io like twenty five, but a lot of times people
will be like, dang, I thought you were like forty. Hey, great,
thanks appreciate that. It's literally because the glasses in the hair.
That's it. I have had botox, but only in my
cheeks for clenching, well more than cheeks. Cheeks here, and
I think this is called the massater up here in
the head. Now. I don't know that those parts of

(01:04:07):
your body age, but if they do. The botoks I
got for clenching probably maybe like ten years younger, but
if you get headaches from clenching, I would get it works.
So I got. If you're watching this on YouTube, these
two spots here my dentist injected botox. Here, these are
maybe that's the massater. Where's the massater? But the jaws

(01:04:29):
where I got it? And then up into my temples.
I got it because that's why I was getting headaches.
I think the massa maybe the jaw right here, yeah, okay,
master's the jaw. So yeah. If you think man, that
dude's got a young Master was because I got botox
like a year ago there because I was literally breaking
my teeth because I was clenching so hard when I sleep.

(01:04:50):
So but no, no, no, no plastic surgery. Thank you, though,
for thinking that I'm not too good for it so much.
I impress literally I am at this point. So that's it.
That's another episode of In the Weeds. Behind the Scenes

(01:05:12):
Frequently Asked Questions BTS. It's a new name of the show.
Thank you guys for watching. Please subscribe. I don't know
if anybody even got to this on the YouTube because

thirteen minutes because the camera died in the middle of it.
