Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, welcome to episode to eighty nine of the Bobby Cast.
A little different this one. On this episode, we picked
five listeners from the b Team Facebook page and I
told everybody just one thing, ask whatever you want. There
were no other rules. But as you'll hear in this episode,
I was very surprised with the preparation into each question.
I thought it'd be some behind the scenes stuff. Mostly
it was very deep questions. Um, if you liked this episode, hey,
(00:25):
let me know. We'll do another one in the future.
We'll get some more people on. It's this kind of
me chatting with you guys. Make sure you subscribe to
the Bobby Cast as well. If you don't mind, click
the subscribe button or follow, you know, whatever you listen
to right now whatever platform that would be awesome. Hit
us with the five star rating. All right, let's go.
Here's my zoom chat with listeners. Thank you, guys. So
(00:45):
I put this out to the Bobby Bones Show Beteam
Facebook group. I said, hey, let's do a podcast, and
so we have some focus on right now. So we're
gonna do a few questions and everybody gets three questions.
I have not screened any of these questions in anyway.
I mean I got on. I was a little nervous
because I don't know what you guys would ask me.
Just don't ask me to show you anything, you know.
I know we're on webcams right now. Um, So let's
meet everybody first, and when I come to you, just
(01:06):
tell me how long that you would listen to the
Bob Show, and if you want, maybe a fun fact
about yourself. So first, Eric in Washington, d C. Where
are Erica? El says Eric here? But Erka, Hey Erica?
How are you? Hey? Bobby? How are you pretty good?
It's two thousand twelve. Good to see you as always. Uh.
Danny in Chesapeake, Virginia? Where are you? Danny? Right here?
(01:29):
There she is Danny say something to us, Hey, I
have been listening since about Um, I'm gonna stay home
mom with two boys. Nice. What are their names? Do
you want to say? Sure? Jake and Tommy? All right?
What up? Jake and Tommy? If you listen back to this.
Chelsea and Stevensville, Maryland, Hi, Chelsea, where are you? Hi?
I'm Chelsea. I am from Stevensville, Maryland, as you just said,
(01:51):
and I'm a first grade teacher. Hence the setup I
had here. I see all that behind you is at
a white board? Is that what that is? Yeah? Wait? Boards?
Spread hope not germs. Did you get COVID at off
from the kids? Um? I did get COVID, but not
from children. I got it from the gym. Oh dang
that hurts. I just stopped going to the gym because
(02:12):
I knew I was going to get it and I
owned three gems and I was like, there's I can't go.
It was weird because we would go and the rule
said you had to show up with the mask on,
but when it was time to start, you can take
your mask off and start boxing. And I was like,
what the craps the difference? So I respectfully did not
go back. But I'm one vaccine in. Did you get
vaccinated yet? Are you are? You're an anti vaccine vaccine girl? Away? No,
(02:35):
I am halfway vaccinated. Yeah, I'm halfway vaccinated too. All right, well, Chelsea,
thank you very much. We'll come back to you in
a second. Amy and Bellabus arkinsas, where are you? Amy? Me? Hi?
There she is, Amy? Tell me something about you? Hi? Um? Well,
I'm a single mom to an eleven year old boy,
and I work in real estate, making a big sales
(02:57):
like on Netflix lately, nothing like that. I'm actually an
esper closer. So my clients are real tours and lenders
and investors. I could have swarned you to. Our clients
are real turns, real turs. I mean that was supposed
to be a secret. You know. Whenever I was buying
my I mean any house I bought, especially my first house,
(03:18):
and I guess more so as I've been buying houses,
I've never read the packet. I just trust that that
that entire book, that people are honest with me, and
then if they are lying inside of it, they will
go to jail. Like That's what I trust in my heart.
And so when everybody's like, all right, signed this this
page initial list, you can read it if you want.
Does anybody ever read the whole thing? Didn't you ever
sit there and just go let me read it? Yeah.
(03:39):
When I used to live in Colorado for a while,
and when I lived there, I had a lot of
people in the military, and military people like to read
their documents of their signing, and I've had to several
times been like, Okay, let me know when you're done.
I have other stuff to do. Yeah, that's a that's
a heavy load there. And Mike, you just found all
those people just on on the message cover. We're getting
on there and writing it. Yeah message okay. Mikedy's also
(04:01):
wanted the computer over there. And finally the Tanner and
our only dude, Tanner at which it tak Kansas Tanner
show your face? Hello, guys, however is everyone doing? What's happening? Buddy?
So tell me something about you. I'm Tanner Folds, I'm
from which Stock, Kansas, and I just got my second
dose of the vaccine today. Okay, Bragger, of course he's
(04:23):
gotta come on here in flex real strong. Now, that's
really cool. I'm envious of that. Caitlin's got a weird
like circle rash from where she got hers. Did you
get a weird circle rush on your arm at all? Um?
From the looks of it, not really, It's just it
was just a little stiff, Honestly. I have a couple
of friends that got their second I guess like four friends,
(04:45):
two different couples. They got their second shot at the fighter,
and they got extremely sick. I wanted them for one day,
another one for two days. What's your story with that? Um,
I haven't had any symptoms yet with it, but who
knows what could happen in the next couple of days.
It's a good point to aner who knows what could
happen in the next couple of days. I agree with
that body. All right, let's go, let's do this. Let's
(05:06):
go first, Let's go to Erica on Washington, d C. Erica.
The floor is open. What is your question for me?
All right, Bobby, speaking of COVID. So we just left
what I would describe as the most challenging year of
our lifetime. It included catastrophic weather, a wild presidential election,
and a global pandemic. Twenty years from now, when you
(05:29):
look back at the struggle that was, what do you
hope we as Americans have learned and changed in our lives?
I feel like there's a presidential debate. Yeah, I feel
like she stood up and we walked over to with
the microphone and I'm sitting on a little the little pedestal,
the shairing pedestal there. What do we what do I
hope I hope mostly that we learned, uh that if
(05:51):
we need to develop something quickly to say folks, we
can I mean if anything I've learned, it's all right, science,
do your thing, and do it faster than you've ever
done it, but four and they did because they had to.
And it kind of just shows us when something needs
to be done. You know. Steve Jobs was a guy
that was always like, all right, I'm gonna put really
harsh expectations on the people that are working for me,
(06:11):
because that's the only way they're going to actually make
things happen, especially at a rate that they never had before.
And I feel like that happened. I feel like all
of all these sciences for scientists folks, because it's what
they're called officially, came together and made this crap happen.
And I think we're gonna be able to learn a
lot on how to create not just vaccines, but how
to create um different health wellness. Uh, just by sticking
(06:39):
their nose down, because it can be done, I would.
Compared to when they first ran the Formula mile, nobody
thought you could run the form in a mile. So
somebody ran the Formula a mile, then everybody should run
a formunt a mile because they're like, oh, somebody can
actually do this, Holy crap for me. I actually, I
mean it was as much as it sucks for everybody. Um,
you know, Caitlin and I had just we were together
and we were flying back and forth and it kind
(07:00):
of trapped us and where she got stuck here. I
remember she had her suitcase and she was like, should
I fly home? Because l A was starting to shut
down and shut down before everybody. And I was like,
I don't know. I don't think it's very good in
l A right now. Why don't you stay another three days?
And I remember telling my friend Bobo, was like, hey,
she's gonna stay three more days and he was like, UM,
I bet you it's longer than that. And thank god
(07:20):
it was because she stayed forever. And so, you know,
for me, something good. I think if we all look
back at it too, we can find something good from this.
It's been a lot of struggle. But even if it's
that you need to have a bit more family time
in your life, even if it's I just think there's
something we can pull from really heard situations that actually
helped make situations a lot better. But what do we
(07:42):
really learned? I was talking because I don't have to
know your question. I think we learned that if we
need to make a vaccine. We can freaking make a vaccine,
and we can do it quick, and we can do
it right. Um, and I would compare it to the
format of mile analogy. So are you satisfied with that answer?
I am indeed, thank you, thank you. I'll come back
to you. Danny at chess Peak, Virginia. What is your question? Hey, um, well,
(08:03):
so we all know that you have created a group
of people around you for the most part, that you've
been friends with for a while, or you found friends
and brought them on the show. But I was wondering,
what are some of your favorite and least favorite things
about employing a group of your friends. That's a good question.
The best part is because it's people I like, and
you hang out with them a lot, right, I mean
nine percent of the time. Amy sitting to my left,
(08:27):
who is my dearest friend in the world, her and
Eddie both. Um. It's just such a great thing. The
weird thing is when you actually have to be a
boss and put on the boss pants and say, hey,
we have to do better than this, like we have
to you know, focus just on the micro level. Like
with Amy, It's like, hey, you gotta get off your phone.
Or we're on the air, because she is all over
the place. She has a d all the time. Something,
(08:48):
look at a computer, look on her phone. I know
this about her. She's doodling right what I'm talking to her? Um,
But I know this about her. And that's the good
part about being a friend. But the tough part is
when it's time to have difficult conversation about you know,
how someone is performing. And maybe it's not about being
funny or not, it's also about, you know, work ethic.
Amy is not one I have talked about work ethic with.
(09:11):
Neither's Eddie. Um. You know, there are certain people on
the show that don't have as good at work ethic
as others. UM. And that's when it gets tough to
be a boss and a friend because you've got to
go all right, you're not cutting it. I gotta put
on the boss pants for a second. I will say
that Amy is fantastic get separating boss from friend tours.
Sometimes she is like, hey, what tell me what to
do as a boss not a friend. Um. But that's
(09:33):
that's tough. That that's a fine line between being a
boss and a friend. And sometimes I don't do good
at either one of them because I'm not as good
friends as should be and I'm probably not as good
a boss as I should be either at times. But
that's always been kind of a juggling act. But I
will say in the last couple of years, maybe the
last year since Scooba Steve has been there, um, I
kind of lean on him a lot to handle a
(09:54):
lot of the hey, I need you to whip people
in shape kind of stuff or I'm not getting um either.
Because if you don't have a good vibe in the studio,
nobody wants to be around you. And sometimes people don't
have good vibes and we're like, all right, you're you're
detrimental to what we're doing here because you're over there
all sold up. Um. So Scuba Steve handles that a
little bit now too. Eventually it all, you know, comes
(10:16):
to me, Buck stops with me. But that's probably the
the hardest thing about Boston friends. So thank you for
your question. I appreciate that's a good one. Chelsea and Stevensville, Maryland.
You are up, Chelsea, what do you have for me? Okay?
So I'm wondering if you were going to create and
teach your own college course like anything you wanted, what
(10:37):
would it be. Well, I'm not gonna say radio because
it's the easy answer. I would say probably a course
in like nineties television or or in nineties music period.
Obviously nineties. I was born in the eighties, so obviously
nineties because that's when I grew up. But I think
I'm a pretty expert at nineties TV and nineties country
(10:59):
and nineties alterned of And you know, I think we
all love when we were kids because we were so
influenced by what we were listening to as we were growing.
I know, even music now. You know, my job sometimes
it's check out new music. But I never check out
new music for fun anymore, because whenever it's time for
me to relax, I just want to hear the stuff
that makes it easy for me. Just like the reason
I watched The Office and night every night, I don't
(11:20):
need to follow along. I can enjoy it and also
just sit back and chill. Um. Same thing with like
a playlist. Eddie and I were together today and I
was like, Hey, what do you wanna listen to it?
He's like, man, I don't know. Let's let's not have
to listen anything. Let's let's do classic rock. So also
we were both both disappointed that food fighters came up
on classic rock. Hurt our feelings a little bit. So,
but I would say probably a corpse in the nineties.
(11:42):
Thank you for your question, Amy. And Bellavista, Arkansas? Is
it Bella Vista, Bella Vista, It's okay? I thought it's Bellavista, Okay, Yeah,
um so, I think I mentioned I having eleven year
old boys. I asked him what he wanted to ask you.
He's not here and night he's with his dad. No,
so he's with his that but he wanted to ask you.
He said, thinking about uh time War Texas. What is
(12:05):
one event in history that you would change? Well, that's
the question. Would you murder baby Hitler? Right, That's exactly
what he said. That's exactly what he said. He said,
what about Yeah, I mean, whould you murder baby? And
I don't think I would murder baby Hitler? But I
think I would surround him with better influences. I think
I would put him in a situation that actually allowed
(12:25):
him to make better choices and not be basically the
worst human ever that murdered millions and millions of people.
Um So, probably that if I were changing something. Either
that or in Clint Starterner fumbled as we were driving
(12:46):
against Tennessee and we ended up losing the game of
Tennessee won the national championship. Other than that, you know,
those those are the two things that come to mind
right off the bat. But yeah, it's the Michael, would
you do about baby Hitler? Would you kill him? Would you?
I mean mine was the most diplomatic answer. It's like, well,
I'm just gonna put good people around him. What would
you do? I can't hear you. There you go, I
(13:07):
think for the good of the world. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, yeah,
thank you for your question. Let's go over to Tanner
in which talk Kansas. Tanner, you're the first round. You
have the final question. Go ahead, buddy. Um this one
is probably an odd question out of everyone's first questions,
but there's no odder question that about baby Hitler. Come on, Tanner, Okay, Um,
(13:30):
what goal do you think humanity is not focused on
enough on achieving? Like? What do you think? Yeah? I
think it's crazy that people have billions of dollars and
some people can't even eat. I mean, that's weird to me. Honestly.
I think it's weird that you know, um of the
wealth is held by you know, one percent of the
(13:52):
people or whatever, the ridiculous status that changes all the time. Um.
I mean that's probably it. Are trying to fulfill our
basic human rights. I mean, even if it gets down
to like a minimum wage, like, how are we not
raising it? Like, let's as someone who watched his mom
(14:13):
work on minimum wage, it's like that that's not a
living wage. You have to work three jobs. That's not
a living wage. You have to work three jobs to
have a living wage. You're not making a living wage. Um.
And so again, as I kind of dial in, and
you know, people go, well, if we raise the minimum
wage to fifteen dollars, which fifteen maybe a little higher
for me. I wouldn't mind a twelve or thirteen dollar,
(14:35):
but nobody compromises these days and politics. But a fifteen
dollar minimum wage, And if people are gonna lose their
job in three or four years and we're gonna see
that years down the road, I'm like, well, why don't
we feed people right now and figure it out. We
just made a vaccine in like six months. Why can
we figure this out too. I would rather help people
now and at least have a chance to figure it out.
(14:56):
That not help people now, they not get help and
stay as quo for years to come. But I think
it's basic human rights stuff more than anything else. Um
that in more five star recruits to arkansasble those would
be the two things that I would probably focus more on.
So thank you, thank you very much. Do you want
(15:19):
to do you know a second, We'll go backward now, Tanna,
all right, what's your other question? Are you guys are
mighty going deep on this stuff? I thought they'd be
like question. I know I needed to prepare stuff. I'm
just making up stats over here. All right, Tanner, go ahead,
But all right, my second question is how do you
handle all the negativity you get, whether it's a social
(15:42):
media post you have or it's a something about the show,
like your guys opinions on things in the world. That's
a good question. Um, I trying not to look at
it the same reason to the same way I handle
a bunch of sugar and sweets to trying to keep
it in my frigerator. I found for me the best
thing to do is to not be around things that
don't make me a better person. But I've also had
(16:03):
a lot of experience at it. I think what is
cool for me is that I grew with the Internet.
The Internet blew up as I was growing up, which
allowed me to learn with it. I would compare it
to being and all your parents are gonna laugh at
me here because I'm not a parent, But I would
make the comparison to having as a young parent and
a baby and growing with the baby and learning how
to be a parent as the baby gets older, and
(16:24):
then just adopting a twelve year old, and to be like, okay, Ti,
to be a parent with a twelve year old, You're like,
I don't know how to be a parent with anything
much that's a twelve year old, you know. So for me,
I was lucky enough to be a young parent of
the Internet as the Internet was growing. Um, kids now
it sucks for them, like they're taking on a raging
bowl of the Internet and I don't know how they
do it. I was I was having a conversation with
(16:45):
a bunch of people in Valdosta, Georgie. I was speaking
down there and they had asked me about, you know,
the Internet, and it's just so brutal for someone like
my fiance Caitlin. I'm gonna pull up my phone here.
She has not had to deal with any sort of
neg activity from folks because she's never put herself out there.
For that reason, She's just been so much. She had
a private Instagram forever. She the reason she even took
(17:06):
hers off private, it's because so many people were requesting
her that it clogged her Instagram. And she was like,
you know what, I'll just keep it on. But she
this is a mess that she got this morning. I
read it to you. Your fiance says you have no
interest on being on camera film. I don't buy it.
You're always on pictures. I think you might be a whore.
I think you're a phony who uses people. Hope Bobby
gets a prenup that came from a random person, and
(17:26):
the last thing that random person had said to her
before that was hey, I love your four things tote.
And so she's sitting here, I'm looking at her, She's
getting a tear in her and I'm like, hey, what happened.
She was like, I got a d M from someone
that it's being extremely rude. And she hasn't had to
deal with this, and nor has she put her opinions
out there to have to absorb this back, which is
(17:46):
the weirdest thing. The thing that is upsetting to me
is she just is existing and getting beat up not
do anything. She's not saying, hey, here's my political belief Hey,
here's what I think about your stupid team. Here's things
that usually make people upset or have an opinion bag. Nothing.
So she didn't post that much on Instagram. Once every
(18:07):
couple of weeks you might post something. She might do
a story. She likes to cook. If someone reposts her
cooking videos or makes something, she really likes that because
she feels like she may have helped someone. She's like, hey, man,
I taught him something cool to cook. Um. The Internet,
it's a it's a bad It's a bad deal if
you let it be a bad deal. So I try
not to let it. I still want to affect it
sometimes by it. I still see a messager, I'm tagged sometimes,
(18:28):
but mostly to me anymore, it's not about me so much.
It's when they go after people that I care about.
That's what bothers me the most. So I don't go
to our Facebook page maybe maybe four times a year
because it is a vile place, and most people they
are good, but the people that are on there not
being good. They're running for everybody. So I don't even
(18:50):
go over there. Morgan posts a lot of great content
over there, but I don't look at it. Um, thank
you Tanner. All right, Amy, coming back to you. We're
going back. We're back to Arkansas. Amy, what's up right? Um?
So I got back to my kid. Um he a
couple of years ago I had taken out of school
because he's been bullied a lot. Um. So he's going
back to school next year. He's gonna go be in
(19:11):
seventh grade. It's a charter school, and he wants to
know if you have any advice for him going to
a new school. Yeah. I went to a lot of
new schools. Man, it's stunk. Honestly. The first thing to
know is it's just going to be uncomfortable, right, And
I think the first step at getting through something uncomfortable
is knowing what's when it's going to be uncomfortable, because
then you're not going Okay. I hope this is gonna
(19:32):
be Going to new school stinks because it's everything is new.
We don't like new because you know, new insinuates change.
We don't like change because it could be worse than
when we're coming from UM. But going to a new
school as someone who did it many times, man, it's
it's not linking up early with folks who are trouble
(19:53):
because you know everyone's claiming the new kids. It's a
weird thing. They either claim you or pick on you. UM,
and it's not when you start to get picked on,
you know you try to find some safe haven and
it's just staying away from people that are gonna create
bad decisions for you later on. UM. But say hi
(20:14):
to everybody. Meet people. It's like once someone moved to
a new city. I say the same thing. It's obviously
different in the school, but be friendly, smile, just know
that you're gonna get stronger from it because it is
going to be an uncomfortable situation. I was an American
ido last night talking about this with a girl. Not
the same exact situation, but the question was, Hey, I
like to sing in public? What do I do? I
was like, you gotta go be uncomfortable because you don't
grow ever or get better at anything unless you're uncomfortable.
(20:37):
Because there is a struggle. Think about anything you've ever
done in your life, that you got better at you.
It's stunk, it was hard, it was uncomfortable for a while,
but you're glad you did it. And for me having
to kind of be a chamellion probably five times, I'm
good with any group like it made me a better
adult because it doesn't matter what kind of group people
(20:59):
you put me with. Like, I am good, I am educated.
It is another part of the education process. So I
would tell him keep his chin up. He's gonna make
some awesome friends, friends he doesn't even know he's gonna
make yet, and he's gonna be so much stronger in
a year from now. He's gonna be able to take
on the world. But I also wouldn't lie to him
and say its supposed to be easy and fun. Um,
there's parts of new school that's fun, sir. You know,
(21:20):
new girls are fun. I know no girls ever like me,
but new girls existing was fine. But yeah, I just
tell him, I said to go in there, make as
many friends as he possibly can. By the end of
the year, someone weed themselves out. He'll have a good
group and listen to his mom. That's why I tell him,
thank you, all right, that's tough. Change of school is tough.
I wish I had some answer like, oh, it'll all
(21:41):
be good. How old is he? Again? Levin at least said, yeah,
that's a that's a that's a tough age too. These
kids are starting their arm pits, are trying to smell
a little bit, which means the hormones of raging, which
means it's a tough age. Um. I would just let
them know that you guys talk about you love what
(22:02):
you're telling me you love him? Is you feel like
you support them? You guys are good like that. Yeah,
he always says I'm his best friend. I would just
let him know that you're always there. That's it, and honestly,
between and you, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be
tough on YouTube. But you have to stay strong too.
You have to stay stronger than than you really are
to him. Thank you all right? Now, we sho had
a better, like a happy answer. Now I feel like
(22:24):
I should go to some sad song and play us
out with everybody hurts from r M. He'll get it though,
and he'll be stronger from it. You know, I promise
you will be all right. Thank you for your question.
I appreciate that cry. Great, there I go again. Um,
let's go over to m m mmmmm. I think it's Chelsea, Chelsea,
(22:47):
what's going on? Hey, hey, let me ask you. Hold on,
new kid comes to class first grade a bit different
than eleven year old? What do you tell her? And
so I feel like it's a lot different because at
the age that I teach, their so resilient and like
joyfully unaware of that kind of thing. So it's hard.
(23:08):
My students are so much more willing to do those
transitions and not really noticed like the awkwardness of it. Um,
but I would say, like, reach out to the school
yourself as the parent and make a connection that way,
if there are issues, you have that communication between you
and the school as well. See come on, who knew
we were gonna an educator on here? They could tell
us the real answer. I'm over here going, yeah, it's
(23:29):
gonna suck for a while, but he's gonna be stronger.
She's like, here's actually what you can do. So yeah,
that's good. All right, Chelsea, what do you have? Your
advice was great? Um, okay, So my girl, Caitlin, I
love her. Tell her, I said, what a And I'm
wondering so my husband is two years younger than me,
and um, normally, like it's not really a big deal,
but every once in a while something comes up where
(23:50):
I'm like, oh wow, Like, you're two years younger than me,
So I'm wondering in your relationship. Do you guys ever
notice those age different little things in everyday life? The
only time is much you wants to listen to Harry
Styles Justin Bieber all the time. That's really it. It's
just music, and I like Harry Styles, and I like
most of Justin Bieber. Ill like new Justin Bieber al
though this new album. By the way, Mike, I'm an
ex part of the new album already. It's only been
(24:11):
aw since Friday. Yet that's because I have to hear
it all the time. Um, I like the album before
this better. It's a little more R and B than
this one. It's a little more This was a little
more dancy pop. Um justin music. She's far more mature
than I am in almost every way. She also doesn't
understand references I make about the nineties. She's eleven years
and some months younger than I am. But no, I
(24:34):
feel like, if anything, I'm the juvenile there you're older
than your husband. How about that? Huh? How does he
feel about that? Are you taller than him too? Oh
gosh no, he's uh like six and just taller than me.
But he thinks it's great. He thinks like I'm a cougar.
It's fine, that's funny. I also think I think with
our age thing too. Why it works so good for
me is like, I want to have kids, and I
(24:57):
waited later because I was scared to death of having
them and having put my kids in the same situation
I went through. So I didn't want to have them
in be extremely poor, frankly, and so I probably waited
longer than I had to. Um. And so you know,
I met the right person, and part of that right
person she wants to have kids too, and she can
still have kids for a few years. And that's great
(25:19):
for us. You know, if I was gonna marry, you know,
find a fifty year old Oh, it's all, we're not
gonna be having many kids unless we adopt them. Um.
But I just I never really believed in the right
person honestly until her, because I always was like, you
guys are just saying that crap. That's just from a
movie or a book. But for the first time I
actually do because it was just like like, oh, this
(25:41):
is it. It doesn't mean it's always perfect, but it
means like, even when it's not perfect, I never go, oh,
this might be the end of it. It just means
when it's not perfect, I go, I can't wait to
figure out how to how I'm an idiot here when
you get back to it being perfect again. Um, but
the age thing is only TV shows and music, Thank God,
thank you, uh Danny and chess peek Virginia coming back
(26:03):
to you, okay. Um. I know that in what you
do you give back in a lot of different ways,
but I was wondering, what is what is one or
what are a few of the most rewarding moments of
your career? Oh easy by my mom, trailer and some land.
(26:24):
And I wasn't making a whole lot of money then.
I was doing just doing well. But it wasn't like
I could just go out and you know, take a
backpack of cash and throw it at the guy and
be like but for me, you know, I did that
probably a year and a half or so before my
mom died. Um, and it was just to give her
a little bit of peace of not having to always
worry about rent or haven't even the piece and calling
(26:44):
me and going, hey can you cover rent? And we
were struggling with her at the time as well, and
her sobriety and UM, but it was that UM. And
then I just recently did it with my sister again.
I bought her a house. UM. We went. I didn't
talk about this on the air at all, UM, but
we went and she was looking at she has some
(27:07):
land that she lives on and she's like, man, I'd
like to get like a nice manufactured home, which she
was like, because I want to live on this piece
of land and I don't want to build a house.
And I was like, well, let's let's go look and
see what they are. She's been saving up to buy
a used one. Um. She manages a restaurant in Hot Springs,
and I was like, okay, let's let's go. And my
(27:28):
sister and I were a strange probably eight or nine
years UM, but we are now very good and very close.
And so I said Kaitlin, and Kitlin knew what I
was doing and kind of walked through Caitlin and said, hey,
let's just go look at some this is right before Christmas,
and I just want to get an ide because I
don't know how much they are. And we went to
this place and she was like, oh, I can never
afforded these because these are all brand new and so
(27:48):
in these these manufacturing homes are pretty baller now, Like
it was like three bedrooms, freaking washing and dryer and
living rooms. Massive was the only crap di sauce them.
Like the trailers I lived in. It's like a loaf
of bread. That's it. You just had to find your
spot in the loaf of bread that had a wall
on it. It was like a jungle gym in this thing. Anyway,
(28:10):
We're walking in one of the new ones and I
was like, let's look at this one. I want to
get an idea. And she was in the back of
the line as me, Caitlin, her and her two kids
and the woman that we had already called and set
up and playing this whole thing with. And we walked
in and there was it said happy, said, Merry Christmas, Amanda,
and then it she had a tree and all the
furniture and stuff was in there was all hanging out,
and she was like, what is happening? And then she
(28:32):
finally understood it and I was able to go, hey,
we bought this house and got all the hookups, covered
all the insurance and so it took like three weeks
to get it out there, but she's now living in it,
and that's I mean that to me. To be able
to do that is like on the big scale, the
best on the you know, all the giving back that
(28:54):
I do now, I don't know that I'm I ever
go to bed going out. I feel really good about myself.
I kind of go I owed that more than I
go to bed feeling some sort of sense of accomplishment.
People help me get here. My youth director, my head
football coach, be director in church at football coach, my
friend Evans dad like they were father figures to me,
(29:16):
and we're consistency from me. When I didn't have consistency
and so had people not given to me to get here,
I wouldn't be here. So yeah, I don't feel like
I'm doing something good. I feel like I'm doing something owed,
and often feel like I didn't give enough. When it
comes to that, the micro micro thing is tipping. I
took huge I can now honestly I can, and I do.
(29:40):
I know what it was like to get a tip
that changed your whole week or month. Even if someone
with tim me fifty bucks. That was a big part
of my car payment. And so daily, that's it for
me to be able to go, here's a big tip,
here's the bill, I'll double it up and maybe even
so I'm not able to do that right now, I
(30:01):
can't do that. So I do do that all the time.
I do do Hey, Mike, I do do that. So
that would be the three things as you asked me
that as I'm just you know, word voting that I
feel we're the most meaningful to me. It's not anything
like Radio Hall of Fame or Dancing with the Stars
or American Idol or all that stuff. Um that all
that stuff is cool and fine, and there are there's
(30:21):
a sense of accomplishment that comes with all of that,
but that's not the stuff where I go. Man, I'm
gonna hold on to that because that's important. Um So, yeah,
that's good. That's a good question. Erica Washington, what's your
second question? What do you got for me? Okay, Bobby,
many of your listeners know that you're raised in Mountain Pine, Arkansas,
population seven seventy two. What is one thing about your
(30:45):
hometown that you absolutely love and brings back great memories. Well,
maybe the shop there, because you know, we would really
basketball football practice and for a quarter you get ice
cream and you can hang out. I just I didn't
have a lot of friends when I grew up. Um,
So when I was like in junior in high school
(31:08):
or senior high school, I started to be pretty decent
at sports. That was pretty cool for me. And so
going to the m m Shop where kids first started
to go Okay, he's not a complete idiot. Um. That
was fun. I think at some point I'd like to
go buy the Mum Shop there. Um. But yeah, the
um Um Shop Mountaine. It's open. You guys should support it.
Might just handed me a note? This is this cuts
off at forty minutes. Is that true? It's true? Crap,
(31:30):
how much time do we have of four minutes? Okay,
four minutes, let's do rapid fire Erica. Go okay, Bobby.
If you run for political office, what's one thing that
you're gonna do for your people that you support. Well,
I'm gonna try to. Uh. Food insecurity will be what
(31:51):
I focus on first and foremost. If we can't eat
we can't do anything else. Really, you can have a
very political decision you want to make. You can't eat,
you can't do anything else. So, as you guys know,
with me, my thing is if if you can't eat
or have a place to live, or then you can't
make other decisions in your life to actually be a
better person. Uh, food insecurity be the first thing that
(32:11):
I work on. Next up, let's go to Danny hit
it hey real quick. I just wanted to know which
episode of your new show are you most excited to air?
I do know the first episode, Les, let's just say
this yet, but whatever, it's the Grand Canyon episode where
I'm four thousand feet hanging on a rope. I hated
it the most. They're airing it first. That's the one
(32:33):
that's crazy and I'm not supposed to say officially, but
that's when you guys will see. Okay, thank you very much, Chelsea,
you're up. Goat okay shooting my shot first. My husband
said we can move to Nashville if Bobby Bones gives
me a job, so hit me up. Also, would you
rather have Ryan's seacrests job on IDOL or be governor
of Arkansas? Be governor of Arkansas because Ryan Seacrest will
(32:54):
always be synonymous with IDOL. If if for some reason
he decided to quit and they gave me that job,
it'd be great and I love it and hopefully be
able to pivot that to something else. But he is
American Idol. He's the guy that's been there the whole time.
So I'd rather be governor of Arkansas. Although idol Let's
paid pretty we I'll be honest with you, but now
I'd rather be governor of Arkansas, and I don't have
any jobs. We can't even pay interns right now, we
don't have any interns. Um, good luck moving to Nashville.
(33:16):
Go ahead, Amy Abellavist to go. Okay, where do you hope?
And also, you know Arkansas, I would vote for you.
But where do you hope as a society we are
in five years? Mm hmmm, Well in five years, I
just hope we're thirty percent less aggressive with each other
about having a difference in political opinion. That's it, just
(33:36):
a movement the right direction. I don't care what. Yeah,
It's just I'm never someone that goes all right, don't
have full change. I think if we go thirty percent
the other way. That's a that's a good step. And
now I can remember here we go, old guy Bobby here,
I remember when people were just Democrats Republicans. You didn't
hate him, that's it. You just didn't hate on that.
There was just a part of life, and you figured
out ways to to eventually and occasionally do stuff together.
(33:59):
So thank you for your question, Tanner, You're up last question, brother.
All right, So when you first hear a song, do
you instantly know it's a hit or do you think
it will swab? I don't know songs that hit the
first time. Honestly, I don't have one of those ears
that goes instant hit. But I do have one of
those ears about three times to go. I think people
will really like this. Some of the songs that I've
(34:21):
broken we have one minute. Some of the songs that
I've broken out and like myself personally, but I knew
they were massive hits. Um. But I'm not someone who
claims I can hear a song real quick and and
and nail it. Guys, were we have thirty seconds sound
and keep talking to the kicked the room out? Did
you guys have fun? Yes or no? That's that's fun.
Should we do it again sometimes? Thank you, thank you,
thank you for giving the time to me to come
(34:42):
on here. Obviously I didn't know your questions. I just
talked until I figured it out. But they're gonna cut
me off soon. I appreciate you guys so much for
listening and supporting. Not me because I'm just a dummy,
but what we do, um and so thank you all
you represent, you five represent an entire group of the
Beach Team. So thank you for your questions and I'll
thought out they were. How nice you guys were to
me in for your time. So uh B team, thank you.
(35:04):
They're disconnecting me now, have a good night, everybody. See
you later than
Hey, welcome to episode to eighty nine of the Bobby Cast.
A little different this one. On this episode, we picked
five listeners from the b Team Facebook page and I
told everybody just one thing, ask whatever you want. There
were no other rules. But as you'll hear in this episode,
I was very surprised with the preparation into each question.
I thought it'd be some behind the scenes stuff. Mostly
it was very deep questions. Um, if you liked this episode, hey,
(00:25):
let me know. We'll do another one in the future.
We'll get some more people on. It's this kind of
me chatting with you guys. Make sure you subscribe to
the Bobby Cast as well. If you don't mind, click
the subscribe button or follow, you know, whatever you listen
to right now whatever platform that would be awesome. Hit
us with the five star rating. All right, let's go.
Here's my zoom chat with listeners. Thank you, guys. So
(00:45):
I put this out to the Bobby Bones Show Beteam
Facebook group. I said, hey, let's do a podcast, and
so we have some focus on right now. So we're
gonna do a few questions and everybody gets three questions.
I have not screened any of these questions in anyway.
I mean I got on. I was a little nervous
because I don't know what you guys would ask me.
Just don't ask me to show you anything, you know.
I know we're on webcams right now. Um, So let's
meet everybody first, and when I come to you, just
(01:06):
tell me how long that you would listen to the
Bob Show, and if you want, maybe a fun fact
about yourself. So first, Eric in Washington, d C. Where
are Erica? El says Eric here? But Erka, Hey Erica?
How are you? Hey? Bobby? How are you pretty good?
It's two thousand twelve. Good to see you as always. Uh.
Danny in Chesapeake, Virginia? Where are you? Danny? Right here?
(01:29):
There she is Danny say something to us, Hey, I
have been listening since about Um, I'm gonna stay home
mom with two boys. Nice. What are their names? Do
you want to say? Sure? Jake and Tommy? All right?
What up? Jake and Tommy? If you listen back to this.
Chelsea and Stevensville, Maryland, Hi, Chelsea, where are you? Hi?
I'm Chelsea. I am from Stevensville, Maryland, as you just said,
(01:51):
and I'm a first grade teacher. Hence the setup I
had here. I see all that behind you is at
a white board? Is that what that is? Yeah? Wait? Boards?
Spread hope not germs. Did you get COVID at off
from the kids? Um? I did get COVID, but not
from children. I got it from the gym. Oh dang
that hurts. I just stopped going to the gym because
(02:12):
I knew I was going to get it and I
owned three gems and I was like, there's I can't go.
It was weird because we would go and the rule
said you had to show up with the mask on,
but when it was time to start, you can take
your mask off and start boxing. And I was like,
what the craps the difference? So I respectfully did not
go back. But I'm one vaccine in. Did you get
vaccinated yet? Are you are? You're an anti vaccine vaccine girl? Away? No,
(02:35):
I am halfway vaccinated. Yeah, I'm halfway vaccinated too. All right, well, Chelsea,
thank you very much. We'll come back to you in
a second. Amy and Bellabus arkinsas, where are you? Amy? Me? Hi?
There she is, Amy? Tell me something about you? Hi? Um? Well,
I'm a single mom to an eleven year old boy,
and I work in real estate, making a big sales
(02:57):
like on Netflix lately, nothing like that. I'm actually an
esper closer. So my clients are real tours and lenders
and investors. I could have swarned you to. Our clients
are real turns, real turs. I mean that was supposed
to be a secret. You know. Whenever I was buying
my I mean any house I bought, especially my first house,
(03:18):
and I guess more so as I've been buying houses,
I've never read the packet. I just trust that that
that entire book, that people are honest with me, and
then if they are lying inside of it, they will
go to jail. Like That's what I trust in my heart.
And so when everybody's like, all right, signed this this
page initial list, you can read it if you want.
Does anybody ever read the whole thing? Didn't you ever
sit there and just go let me read it? Yeah.
(03:39):
When I used to live in Colorado for a while,
and when I lived there, I had a lot of
people in the military, and military people like to read
their documents of their signing, and I've had to several
times been like, Okay, let me know when you're done.
I have other stuff to do. Yeah, that's a that's
a heavy load there. And Mike, you just found all
those people just on on the message cover. We're getting
on there and writing it. Yeah message okay. Mikedy's also
(04:01):
wanted the computer over there. And finally the Tanner and
our only dude, Tanner at which it tak Kansas Tanner
show your face? Hello, guys, however is everyone doing? What's happening? Buddy?
So tell me something about you. I'm Tanner Folds, I'm
from which Stock, Kansas, and I just got my second
dose of the vaccine today. Okay, Bragger, of course he's
(04:23):
gotta come on here in flex real strong. Now, that's
really cool. I'm envious of that. Caitlin's got a weird
like circle rash from where she got hers. Did you
get a weird circle rush on your arm at all? Um?
From the looks of it, not really, It's just it
was just a little stiff, Honestly. I have a couple
of friends that got their second I guess like four friends,
(04:45):
two different couples. They got their second shot at the fighter,
and they got extremely sick. I wanted them for one day,
another one for two days. What's your story with that? Um,
I haven't had any symptoms yet with it, but who
knows what could happen in the next couple of days.
It's a good point to aner who knows what could
happen in the next couple of days. I agree with
that body. All right, let's go, let's do this. Let's
(05:06):
go first, Let's go to Erica on Washington, d C. Erica.
The floor is open. What is your question for me?
All right, Bobby, speaking of COVID. So we just left
what I would describe as the most challenging year of
our lifetime. It included catastrophic weather, a wild presidential election,
and a global pandemic. Twenty years from now, when you
(05:29):
look back at the struggle that was, what do you
hope we as Americans have learned and changed in our lives?
I feel like there's a presidential debate. Yeah, I feel
like she stood up and we walked over to with
the microphone and I'm sitting on a little the little pedestal,
the shairing pedestal there. What do we what do I
hope I hope mostly that we learned, uh that if
(05:51):
we need to develop something quickly to say folks, we
can I mean if anything I've learned, it's all right, science,
do your thing, and do it faster than you've ever
done it, but four and they did because they had to.
And it kind of just shows us when something needs
to be done. You know. Steve Jobs was a guy
that was always like, all right, I'm gonna put really
harsh expectations on the people that are working for me,
(06:11):
because that's the only way they're going to actually make
things happen, especially at a rate that they never had before.
And I feel like that happened. I feel like all
of all these sciences for scientists folks, because it's what
they're called officially, came together and made this crap happen.
And I think we're gonna be able to learn a
lot on how to create not just vaccines, but how
to create um different health wellness. Uh, just by sticking
(06:39):
their nose down, because it can be done, I would.
Compared to when they first ran the Formula mile, nobody
thought you could run the form in a mile. So
somebody ran the Formula a mile, then everybody should run
a formunt a mile because they're like, oh, somebody can
actually do this, Holy crap for me. I actually, I
mean it was as much as it sucks for everybody. Um,
you know, Caitlin and I had just we were together
and we were flying back and forth and it kind
(07:00):
of trapped us and where she got stuck here. I
remember she had her suitcase and she was like, should
I fly home? Because l A was starting to shut
down and shut down before everybody. And I was like,
I don't know. I don't think it's very good in
l A right now. Why don't you stay another three days?
And I remember telling my friend Bobo, was like, hey,
she's gonna stay three more days and he was like, UM,
I bet you it's longer than that. And thank god
(07:20):
it was because she stayed forever. And so, you know,
for me, something good. I think if we all look
back at it too, we can find something good from this.
It's been a lot of struggle. But even if it's
that you need to have a bit more family time
in your life, even if it's I just think there's
something we can pull from really heard situations that actually
helped make situations a lot better. But what do we
(07:42):
really learned? I was talking because I don't have to
know your question. I think we learned that if we
need to make a vaccine. We can freaking make a vaccine,
and we can do it quick, and we can do
it right. Um, and I would compare it to the
format of mile analogy. So are you satisfied with that answer?
I am indeed, thank you, thank you. I'll come back
to you. Danny at chess Peak, Virginia. What is your question? Hey, um, well,
(08:03):
so we all know that you have created a group
of people around you for the most part, that you've
been friends with for a while, or you found friends
and brought them on the show. But I was wondering,
what are some of your favorite and least favorite things
about employing a group of your friends. That's a good question.
The best part is because it's people I like, and
you hang out with them a lot, right, I mean
nine percent of the time. Amy sitting to my left,
(08:27):
who is my dearest friend in the world, her and
Eddie both. Um. It's just such a great thing. The
weird thing is when you actually have to be a
boss and put on the boss pants and say, hey,
we have to do better than this, like we have
to you know, focus just on the micro level. Like
with Amy, It's like, hey, you gotta get off your phone.
Or we're on the air, because she is all over
the place. She has a d all the time. Something,
(08:48):
look at a computer, look on her phone. I know
this about her. She's doodling right what I'm talking to her? Um,
But I know this about her. And that's the good
part about being a friend. But the tough part is
when it's time to have difficult conversation about you know,
how someone is performing. And maybe it's not about being
funny or not, it's also about, you know, work ethic.
Amy is not one I have talked about work ethic with.
(09:11):
Neither's Eddie. Um. You know, there are certain people on
the show that don't have as good at work ethic
as others. UM. And that's when it gets tough to
be a boss and a friend because you've got to
go all right, you're not cutting it. I gotta put
on the boss pants for a second. I will say
that Amy is fantastic get separating boss from friend tours.
Sometimes she is like, hey, what tell me what to
do as a boss not a friend. Um. But that's
(09:33):
that's tough. That that's a fine line between being a
boss and a friend. And sometimes I don't do good
at either one of them because I'm not as good
friends as should be and I'm probably not as good
a boss as I should be either at times. But
that's always been kind of a juggling act. But I
will say in the last couple of years, maybe the
last year since Scooba Steve has been there, um, I
kind of lean on him a lot to handle a
(09:54):
lot of the hey, I need you to whip people
in shape kind of stuff or I'm not getting um either.
Because if you don't have a good vibe in the studio,
nobody wants to be around you. And sometimes people don't
have good vibes and we're like, all right, you're you're
detrimental to what we're doing here because you're over there
all sold up. Um. So Scuba Steve handles that a
little bit now too. Eventually it all, you know, comes
(10:16):
to me, Buck stops with me. But that's probably the
the hardest thing about Boston friends. So thank you for
your question. I appreciate that's a good one. Chelsea and Stevensville, Maryland.
You are up, Chelsea, what do you have for me? Okay?
So I'm wondering if you were going to create and
teach your own college course like anything you wanted, what
(10:37):
would it be. Well, I'm not gonna say radio because
it's the easy answer. I would say probably a course
in like nineties television or or in nineties music period.
Obviously nineties. I was born in the eighties, so obviously
nineties because that's when I grew up. But I think
I'm a pretty expert at nineties TV and nineties country
(10:59):
and nineties alterned of And you know, I think we
all love when we were kids because we were so
influenced by what we were listening to as we were growing.
I know, even music now. You know, my job sometimes
it's check out new music. But I never check out
new music for fun anymore, because whenever it's time for
me to relax, I just want to hear the stuff
that makes it easy for me. Just like the reason
I watched The Office and night every night, I don't
(11:20):
need to follow along. I can enjoy it and also
just sit back and chill. Um. Same thing with like
a playlist. Eddie and I were together today and I
was like, Hey, what do you wanna listen to it?
He's like, man, I don't know. Let's let's not have
to listen anything. Let's let's do classic rock. So also
we were both both disappointed that food fighters came up
on classic rock. Hurt our feelings a little bit. So,
but I would say probably a corpse in the nineties.
(11:42):
Thank you for your question, Amy. And Bellavista, Arkansas? Is
it Bella Vista, Bella Vista, It's okay? I thought it's Bellavista, Okay, Yeah,
um so, I think I mentioned I having eleven year
old boys. I asked him what he wanted to ask you.
He's not here and night he's with his dad. No,
so he's with his that but he wanted to ask you.
He said, thinking about uh time War Texas. What is
(12:05):
one event in history that you would change? Well, that's
the question. Would you murder baby Hitler? Right, That's exactly
what he said. That's exactly what he said. He said,
what about Yeah, I mean, whould you murder baby? And
I don't think I would murder baby Hitler? But I
think I would surround him with better influences. I think
I would put him in a situation that actually allowed
(12:25):
him to make better choices and not be basically the
worst human ever that murdered millions and millions of people.
Um So, probably that if I were changing something. Either
that or in Clint Starterner fumbled as we were driving
(12:46):
against Tennessee and we ended up losing the game of
Tennessee won the national championship. Other than that, you know,
those those are the two things that come to mind
right off the bat. But yeah, it's the Michael, would
you do about baby Hitler? Would you kill him? Would you?
I mean mine was the most diplomatic answer. It's like, well,
I'm just gonna put good people around him. What would
you do? I can't hear you. There you go, I
(13:07):
think for the good of the world. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, yeah,
thank you for your question. Let's go over to Tanner
in which talk Kansas. Tanner, you're the first round. You
have the final question. Go ahead, buddy. Um this one
is probably an odd question out of everyone's first questions,
but there's no odder question that about baby Hitler. Come on, Tanner, Okay, Um,
(13:30):
what goal do you think humanity is not focused on
enough on achieving? Like? What do you think? Yeah? I
think it's crazy that people have billions of dollars and
some people can't even eat. I mean, that's weird to me. Honestly.
I think it's weird that you know, um of the
wealth is held by you know, one percent of the
(13:52):
people or whatever, the ridiculous status that changes all the time. Um.
I mean that's probably it. Are trying to fulfill our
basic human rights. I mean, even if it gets down
to like a minimum wage, like, how are we not
raising it? Like, let's as someone who watched his mom
(14:13):
work on minimum wage, it's like that that's not a
living wage. You have to work three jobs. That's not
a living wage. You have to work three jobs to
have a living wage. You're not making a living wage. Um.
And so again, as I kind of dial in, and
you know, people go, well, if we raise the minimum
wage to fifteen dollars, which fifteen maybe a little higher
for me. I wouldn't mind a twelve or thirteen dollar,
(14:35):
but nobody compromises these days and politics. But a fifteen
dollar minimum wage, And if people are gonna lose their
job in three or four years and we're gonna see
that years down the road, I'm like, well, why don't
we feed people right now and figure it out. We
just made a vaccine in like six months. Why can
we figure this out too. I would rather help people
now and at least have a chance to figure it out.
(14:56):
That not help people now, they not get help and
stay as quo for years to come. But I think
it's basic human rights stuff more than anything else. Um
that in more five star recruits to arkansasble those would
be the two things that I would probably focus more on.
So thank you, thank you very much. Do you want
(15:19):
to do you know a second, We'll go backward now, Tanna,
all right, what's your other question? Are you guys are
mighty going deep on this stuff? I thought they'd be
like question. I know I needed to prepare stuff. I'm
just making up stats over here. All right, Tanner, go ahead,
But all right, my second question is how do you
handle all the negativity you get, whether it's a social
(15:42):
media post you have or it's a something about the show,
like your guys opinions on things in the world. That's
a good question. Um, I trying not to look at
it the same reason to the same way I handle
a bunch of sugar and sweets to trying to keep
it in my frigerator. I found for me the best
thing to do is to not be around things that
don't make me a better person. But I've also had
(16:03):
a lot of experience at it. I think what is
cool for me is that I grew with the Internet.
The Internet blew up as I was growing up, which
allowed me to learn with it. I would compare it
to being and all your parents are gonna laugh at
me here because I'm not a parent, But I would
make the comparison to having as a young parent and
a baby and growing with the baby and learning how
to be a parent as the baby gets older, and
(16:24):
then just adopting a twelve year old, and to be like, okay, Ti,
to be a parent with a twelve year old, You're like,
I don't know how to be a parent with anything
much that's a twelve year old, you know. So for me,
I was lucky enough to be a young parent of
the Internet as the Internet was growing. Um, kids now
it sucks for them, like they're taking on a raging
bowl of the Internet and I don't know how they
do it. I was I was having a conversation with
(16:45):
a bunch of people in Valdosta, Georgie. I was speaking
down there and they had asked me about, you know,
the Internet, and it's just so brutal for someone like
my fiance Caitlin. I'm gonna pull up my phone here.
She has not had to deal with any sort of
neg activity from folks because she's never put herself out there.
For that reason, She's just been so much. She had
a private Instagram forever. She the reason she even took
(17:06):
hers off private, it's because so many people were requesting
her that it clogged her Instagram. And she was like,
you know what, I'll just keep it on. But she
this is a mess that she got this morning. I
read it to you. Your fiance says you have no
interest on being on camera film. I don't buy it.
You're always on pictures. I think you might be a whore.
I think you're a phony who uses people. Hope Bobby
gets a prenup that came from a random person, and
(17:26):
the last thing that random person had said to her
before that was hey, I love your four things tote.
And so she's sitting here, I'm looking at her, She's
getting a tear in her and I'm like, hey, what happened.
She was like, I got a d M from someone
that it's being extremely rude. And she hasn't had to
deal with this, and nor has she put her opinions
out there to have to absorb this back, which is
(17:46):
the weirdest thing. The thing that is upsetting to me
is she just is existing and getting beat up not
do anything. She's not saying, hey, here's my political belief Hey,
here's what I think about your stupid team. Here's things
that usually make people upset or have an opinion bag. Nothing.
So she didn't post that much on Instagram. Once every
(18:07):
couple of weeks you might post something. She might do
a story. She likes to cook. If someone reposts her
cooking videos or makes something, she really likes that because
she feels like she may have helped someone. She's like, hey, man,
I taught him something cool to cook. Um. The Internet,
it's a it's a bad It's a bad deal if
you let it be a bad deal. So I try
not to let it. I still want to affect it
sometimes by it. I still see a messager, I'm tagged sometimes,
(18:28):
but mostly to me anymore, it's not about me so much.
It's when they go after people that I care about.
That's what bothers me the most. So I don't go
to our Facebook page maybe maybe four times a year
because it is a vile place, and most people they
are good, but the people that are on there not
being good. They're running for everybody. So I don't even
(18:50):
go over there. Morgan posts a lot of great content
over there, but I don't look at it. Um, thank
you Tanner. All right, Amy, coming back to you. We're
going back. We're back to Arkansas. Amy, what's up right? Um?
So I got back to my kid. Um he a
couple of years ago I had taken out of school
because he's been bullied a lot. Um. So he's going
back to school next year. He's gonna go be in
(19:11):
seventh grade. It's a charter school, and he wants to
know if you have any advice for him going to
a new school. Yeah. I went to a lot of
new schools. Man, it's stunk. Honestly. The first thing to
know is it's just going to be uncomfortable, right, And
I think the first step at getting through something uncomfortable
is knowing what's when it's going to be uncomfortable, because
then you're not going Okay. I hope this is gonna
(19:32):
be Going to new school stinks because it's everything is new.
We don't like new because you know, new insinuates change.
We don't like change because it could be worse than
when we're coming from UM. But going to a new
school as someone who did it many times, man, it's
it's not linking up early with folks who are trouble
(19:53):
because you know everyone's claiming the new kids. It's a
weird thing. They either claim you or pick on you. UM,
and it's not when you start to get picked on,
you know you try to find some safe haven and
it's just staying away from people that are gonna create
bad decisions for you later on. UM. But say hi
(20:14):
to everybody. Meet people. It's like once someone moved to
a new city. I say the same thing. It's obviously
different in the school, but be friendly, smile, just know
that you're gonna get stronger from it because it is
going to be an uncomfortable situation. I was an American
ido last night talking about this with a girl. Not
the same exact situation, but the question was, Hey, I
like to sing in public? What do I do? I
was like, you gotta go be uncomfortable because you don't
grow ever or get better at anything unless you're uncomfortable.
(20:37):
Because there is a struggle. Think about anything you've ever
done in your life, that you got better at you.
It's stunk, it was hard, it was uncomfortable for a while,
but you're glad you did it. And for me having
to kind of be a chamellion probably five times, I'm
good with any group like it made me a better
adult because it doesn't matter what kind of group people
(20:59):
you put me with. Like, I am good, I am educated.
It is another part of the education process. So I
would tell him keep his chin up. He's gonna make
some awesome friends, friends he doesn't even know he's gonna
make yet, and he's gonna be so much stronger in
a year from now. He's gonna be able to take
on the world. But I also wouldn't lie to him
and say its supposed to be easy and fun. Um,
there's parts of new school that's fun, sir. You know,
(21:20):
new girls are fun. I know no girls ever like me,
but new girls existing was fine. But yeah, I just
tell him, I said to go in there, make as
many friends as he possibly can. By the end of
the year, someone weed themselves out. He'll have a good
group and listen to his mom. That's why I tell him,
thank you, all right, that's tough. Change of school is tough.
I wish I had some answer like, oh, it'll all
(21:41):
be good. How old is he? Again? Levin at least said, yeah,
that's a that's a that's a tough age too. These
kids are starting their arm pits, are trying to smell
a little bit, which means the hormones of raging, which
means it's a tough age. Um. I would just let
them know that you guys talk about you love what
(22:02):
you're telling me you love him? Is you feel like
you support them? You guys are good like that. Yeah,
he always says I'm his best friend. I would just
let him know that you're always there. That's it, and honestly,
between and you, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be
tough on YouTube. But you have to stay strong too.
You have to stay stronger than than you really are
to him. Thank you all right? Now, we sho had
a better, like a happy answer. Now I feel like
(22:24):
I should go to some sad song and play us
out with everybody hurts from r M. He'll get it though,
and he'll be stronger from it. You know, I promise
you will be all right. Thank you for your question.
I appreciate that cry. Great, there I go again. Um,
let's go over to m m mmmmm. I think it's Chelsea, Chelsea,
(22:47):
what's going on? Hey, hey, let me ask you. Hold on,
new kid comes to class first grade a bit different
than eleven year old? What do you tell her? And
so I feel like it's a lot different because at
the age that I teach, their so resilient and like
joyfully unaware of that kind of thing. So it's hard.
(23:08):
My students are so much more willing to do those
transitions and not really noticed like the awkwardness of it. Um,
but I would say, like, reach out to the school
yourself as the parent and make a connection that way,
if there are issues, you have that communication between you
and the school as well. See come on, who knew
we were gonna an educator on here? They could tell
us the real answer. I'm over here going, yeah, it's
(23:29):
gonna suck for a while, but he's gonna be stronger.
She's like, here's actually what you can do. So yeah,
that's good. All right, Chelsea, what do you have? Your
advice was great? Um, okay, So my girl, Caitlin, I
love her. Tell her, I said, what a And I'm
wondering so my husband is two years younger than me,
and um, normally, like it's not really a big deal,
but every once in a while something comes up where
(23:50):
I'm like, oh wow, Like, you're two years younger than me,
So I'm wondering in your relationship. Do you guys ever
notice those age different little things in everyday life? The
only time is much you wants to listen to Harry
Styles Justin Bieber all the time. That's really it. It's
just music, and I like Harry Styles, and I like
most of Justin Bieber. Ill like new Justin Bieber al
though this new album. By the way, Mike, I'm an
ex part of the new album already. It's only been
(24:11):
aw since Friday. Yet that's because I have to hear
it all the time. Um, I like the album before
this better. It's a little more R and B than
this one. It's a little more This was a little
more dancy pop. Um justin music. She's far more mature
than I am in almost every way. She also doesn't
understand references I make about the nineties. She's eleven years
and some months younger than I am. But no, I
(24:34):
feel like, if anything, I'm the juvenile there you're older
than your husband. How about that? Huh? How does he
feel about that? Are you taller than him too? Oh
gosh no, he's uh like six and just taller than me.
But he thinks it's great. He thinks like I'm a cougar.
It's fine, that's funny. I also think I think with
our age thing too. Why it works so good for
me is like, I want to have kids, and I
(24:57):
waited later because I was scared to death of having
them and having put my kids in the same situation
I went through. So I didn't want to have them
in be extremely poor, frankly, and so I probably waited
longer than I had to. Um. And so you know,
I met the right person, and part of that right
person she wants to have kids too, and she can
still have kids for a few years. And that's great
(25:19):
for us. You know, if I was gonna marry, you know,
find a fifty year old Oh, it's all, we're not
gonna be having many kids unless we adopt them. Um.
But I just I never really believed in the right
person honestly until her, because I always was like, you
guys are just saying that crap. That's just from a
movie or a book. But for the first time I
actually do because it was just like like, oh, this
(25:41):
is it. It doesn't mean it's always perfect, but it
means like, even when it's not perfect, I never go, oh,
this might be the end of it. It just means
when it's not perfect, I go, I can't wait to
figure out how to how I'm an idiot here when
you get back to it being perfect again. Um, but
the age thing is only TV shows and music, Thank God,
thank you, uh Danny and chess peek Virginia coming back
(26:03):
to you, okay. Um. I know that in what you
do you give back in a lot of different ways,
but I was wondering, what is what is one or
what are a few of the most rewarding moments of
your career? Oh easy by my mom, trailer and some land.
(26:24):
And I wasn't making a whole lot of money then.
I was doing just doing well. But it wasn't like
I could just go out and you know, take a
backpack of cash and throw it at the guy and
be like but for me, you know, I did that
probably a year and a half or so before my
mom died. Um, and it was just to give her
a little bit of peace of not having to always
worry about rent or haven't even the piece and calling
(26:44):
me and going, hey can you cover rent? And we
were struggling with her at the time as well, and
her sobriety and UM, but it was that UM. And
then I just recently did it with my sister again.
I bought her a house. UM. We went. I didn't
talk about this on the air at all, UM, but
we went and she was looking at she has some
(27:07):
land that she lives on and she's like, man, I'd
like to get like a nice manufactured home, which she
was like, because I want to live on this piece
of land and I don't want to build a house.
And I was like, well, let's let's go look and
see what they are. She's been saving up to buy
a used one. Um. She manages a restaurant in Hot Springs,
and I was like, okay, let's let's go. And my
(27:28):
sister and I were a strange probably eight or nine
years UM, but we are now very good and very close.
And so I said Kaitlin, and Kitlin knew what I
was doing and kind of walked through Caitlin and said, hey,
let's just go look at some this is right before Christmas,
and I just want to get an ide because I
don't know how much they are. And we went to
this place and she was like, oh, I can never
afforded these because these are all brand new and so
(27:48):
in these these manufacturing homes are pretty baller now, Like
it was like three bedrooms, freaking washing and dryer and
living rooms. Massive was the only crap di sauce them.
Like the trailers I lived in. It's like a loaf
of bread. That's it. You just had to find your
spot in the loaf of bread that had a wall
on it. It was like a jungle gym in this thing. Anyway,
(28:10):
We're walking in one of the new ones and I
was like, let's look at this one. I want to
get an idea. And she was in the back of
the line as me, Caitlin, her and her two kids
and the woman that we had already called and set
up and playing this whole thing with. And we walked
in and there was it said happy, said, Merry Christmas, Amanda,
and then it she had a tree and all the
furniture and stuff was in there was all hanging out,
and she was like, what is happening? And then she
(28:32):
finally understood it and I was able to go, hey,
we bought this house and got all the hookups, covered
all the insurance and so it took like three weeks
to get it out there, but she's now living in it,
and that's I mean that to me. To be able
to do that is like on the big scale, the
best on the you know, all the giving back that
(28:54):
I do now, I don't know that I'm I ever
go to bed going out. I feel really good about myself.
I kind of go I owed that more than I
go to bed feeling some sort of sense of accomplishment.
People help me get here. My youth director, my head
football coach, be director in church at football coach, my
friend Evans dad like they were father figures to me,
(29:16):
and we're consistency from me. When I didn't have consistency
and so had people not given to me to get here,
I wouldn't be here. So yeah, I don't feel like
I'm doing something good. I feel like I'm doing something owed,
and often feel like I didn't give enough. When it
comes to that, the micro micro thing is tipping. I
took huge I can now honestly I can, and I do.
(29:40):
I know what it was like to get a tip
that changed your whole week or month. Even if someone
with tim me fifty bucks. That was a big part
of my car payment. And so daily, that's it for
me to be able to go, here's a big tip,
here's the bill, I'll double it up and maybe even
so I'm not able to do that right now, I
(30:01):
can't do that. So I do do that all the time.
I do do Hey, Mike, I do do that. So
that would be the three things as you asked me
that as I'm just you know, word voting that I
feel we're the most meaningful to me. It's not anything
like Radio Hall of Fame or Dancing with the Stars
or American Idol or all that stuff. Um that all
that stuff is cool and fine, and there are there's
(30:21):
a sense of accomplishment that comes with all of that,
but that's not the stuff where I go. Man, I'm
gonna hold on to that because that's important. Um So, yeah,
that's good. That's a good question. Erica Washington, what's your
second question? What do you got for me? Okay, Bobby,
many of your listeners know that you're raised in Mountain Pine, Arkansas,
population seven seventy two. What is one thing about your
(30:45):
hometown that you absolutely love and brings back great memories. Well,
maybe the shop there, because you know, we would really
basketball football practice and for a quarter you get ice
cream and you can hang out. I just I didn't
have a lot of friends when I grew up. Um,
So when I was like in junior in high school
(31:08):
or senior high school, I started to be pretty decent
at sports. That was pretty cool for me. And so
going to the m m Shop where kids first started
to go Okay, he's not a complete idiot. Um. That
was fun. I think at some point I'd like to
go buy the Mum Shop there. Um. But yeah, the
um Um Shop Mountaine. It's open. You guys should support it.
Might just handed me a note? This is this cuts
off at forty minutes. Is that true? It's true? Crap,
(31:30):
how much time do we have of four minutes? Okay,
four minutes, let's do rapid fire Erica. Go okay, Bobby.
If you run for political office, what's one thing that
you're gonna do for your people that you support. Well,
I'm gonna try to. Uh. Food insecurity will be what
(31:51):
I focus on first and foremost. If we can't eat
we can't do anything else. Really, you can have a
very political decision you want to make. You can't eat,
you can't do anything else. So, as you guys know,
with me, my thing is if if you can't eat
or have a place to live, or then you can't
make other decisions in your life to actually be a
better person. Uh, food insecurity be the first thing that
(32:11):
I work on. Next up, let's go to Danny hit
it hey real quick. I just wanted to know which
episode of your new show are you most excited to air?
I do know the first episode, Les, let's just say
this yet, but whatever, it's the Grand Canyon episode where
I'm four thousand feet hanging on a rope. I hated
it the most. They're airing it first. That's the one
(32:33):
that's crazy and I'm not supposed to say officially, but
that's when you guys will see. Okay, thank you very much, Chelsea,
you're up. Goat okay shooting my shot first. My husband
said we can move to Nashville if Bobby Bones gives
me a job, so hit me up. Also, would you
rather have Ryan's seacrests job on IDOL or be governor
of Arkansas? Be governor of Arkansas because Ryan Seacrest will
(32:54):
always be synonymous with IDOL. If if for some reason
he decided to quit and they gave me that job,
it'd be great and I love it and hopefully be
able to pivot that to something else. But he is
American Idol. He's the guy that's been there the whole time.
So I'd rather be governor of Arkansas. Although idol Let's
paid pretty we I'll be honest with you, but now
I'd rather be governor of Arkansas, and I don't have
any jobs. We can't even pay interns right now, we
don't have any interns. Um, good luck moving to Nashville.
(33:16):
Go ahead, Amy Abellavist to go. Okay, where do you hope?
And also, you know Arkansas, I would vote for you.
But where do you hope as a society we are
in five years? Mm hmmm, Well in five years, I
just hope we're thirty percent less aggressive with each other
about having a difference in political opinion. That's it, just
(33:36):
a movement the right direction. I don't care what. Yeah,
It's just I'm never someone that goes all right, don't
have full change. I think if we go thirty percent
the other way. That's a that's a good step. And
now I can remember here we go, old guy Bobby here,
I remember when people were just Democrats Republicans. You didn't
hate him, that's it. You just didn't hate on that.
There was just a part of life, and you figured
out ways to to eventually and occasionally do stuff together.
(33:59):
So thank you for your question, Tanner, You're up last question, brother.
All right, So when you first hear a song, do
you instantly know it's a hit or do you think
it will swab? I don't know songs that hit the
first time. Honestly, I don't have one of those ears
that goes instant hit. But I do have one of
those ears about three times to go. I think people
will really like this. Some of the songs that I've
(34:21):
broken we have one minute. Some of the songs that
I've broken out and like myself personally, but I knew
they were massive hits. Um. But I'm not someone who
claims I can hear a song real quick and and
and nail it. Guys, were we have thirty seconds sound
and keep talking to the kicked the room out? Did
you guys have fun? Yes or no? That's that's fun.
Should we do it again sometimes? Thank you, thank you,
thank you for giving the time to me to come
(34:42):
on here. Obviously I didn't know your questions. I just
talked until I figured it out. But they're gonna cut
me off soon. I appreciate you guys so much for
listening and supporting. Not me because I'm just a dummy,
but what we do, um and so thank you all
you represent, you five represent an entire group of the
Beach Team. So thank you for your questions and I'll
thought out they were. How nice you guys were to
me in for your time. So uh B team, thank you.
(35:04):
They're disconnecting me now, have a good night, everybody. See
you later than
