Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, guys, Bobby Bones here and we have an episode
we're gonna do today. I don't really have a name
for it. I've been working on some titles here. I
think what we're gonna go with today is in case
you missed it, five stories from this week. Then in
case you missed it, we're gonna talk about and catch
you up on. So number one is the Michael Jackson

(00:32):
biopic controversy. We're gonna start with that. Eddie's here with me.
So what do you know about the Michael Jackson movie
So far?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
What I know is it's a biopic about a certain
time of his life, so it ends somewhere like in
the eighties.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
So that's what a lot of people are upset about
the upcoming film. Michael is already a bit controversial, not
for what it shows, but for what it leaves out.
And when I first saw that, I thought, oh, they
go through his whole life and he dies and they
don't address the allegations, right, you know. But it stops
around nineteen eighty four, it says. So I haven't seen
the movie, but it says reports say the movie ends

(01:08):
around nineteen eighty four before any of the abuse allegations.
So the real debate is if you just stop before
anything controversial happens, are you avoiding the truth?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Which I don't think so, No, the story ends.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And also I would rather them do a movie where
they focus on a part of the life and be
pretty thorough as opposed to the Queen movie, which I
thought Ronnie Mallock was great in it, but it was
Queen's like we just picked up guitars, now we're on
top of the pops, right. They skipped so much that
it seemed fake.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yes, so.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I haven't seen it. One of the other things I
saw it was controversial is whenever the reviewer started to
review it, it got terrible scores. Oh wow, I think
it was like thirty eight percent.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Oh that's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
But now that humans are reviewing it, it's getting like
in the nineties. So is it really humans? Even Mike's here,
who does movies, Mike's movie podcast, Mike with the reviews,
it's all humans now, Yeah, do you believe this? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I think critics wanted to hate it because I think
they thought it wasn't going to be done justice in
any way, and they feel robbed of the story of
not telling his entire life.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
It's kind of cool to hate it.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Is there a plan to have two movies?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I think if the first one does well, I think
you do a second one.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
And then you can kind of address everything that people
are thinking.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
You cut out it sound like Lord of the Rings.
They shoot them all once and then put them out right.
They didn't shoot both parts.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Now, initially it was going to be like a four
hour movie his entire life, and then they restructured it,
did some reshoots. So now that's why it's this version.
There could be a part two.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Wait, did they already shoot then some of the back
half and I just didn't use it.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I think they shot more than at one point. This
was a three hour movie, so there could be more
to the story.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I also, again I don't know everything. I also don't
think that Michael did it the stuff that he's been
accused of. So he was acquitted in court in two
thousand and five full criminal trial, was found not guilty
on all fourteen counts. So criminally, he was found not
guilty on fourteen different counts, and so the argument for

(03:15):
me is he was found not guilty. There was no
physical evidence in both the nineteen nineties case and the
two thousand and five trial, there was no definitive physical
evidence presented. Much of that case relied on testimony, which
then is interpretation, which is then you start dealing with
people's motives. Sure, so in nineteen ninety three, in a

(03:38):
case that was settled out of court, supporters argue that
settlements don't equal guilt. And I would agree with that
a bit because I've learned recently that I was watching
somebody who was getting sued talk about this, and he
was getting sued for I'm going to make up a
number ten million dollars, and he said, my lawyers came
to me and said, there's about a ten percent chance
that we're going to lose this case. What we suggest

(03:59):
you do is give ten percent of what the settlement is.
So he paid a million dollars.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
He sent ten percent of of the loss of the.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, what ye, they're suing them for, which was ten
million dollars. So he paid a million dollars. He said,
I didn't do it. My lawyers are like, there's a
ten percent chance you're gonna lose ten million dollars. So
just because they settle, I do think there's just nuance now.
So it is still weird. There was money here.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Here's the deal. Who who made this movie? Like, who
are the producers?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Michael Jackson's like, nephew is the main person, right, yeah,
son Jafar al Right, nephew, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
What do you mean he's the main actor.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, he pays Michael Jackson.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh so that's why he looks like him so much.
Well that makes sense. But like, if I'm producing the
movie about you, for example, right, I'm your best friend,
I make the movie about you. I get to decide
what goes in that movie. And if there was a
part of your life that it was crazy because you
were accused of something but nothing ever came of it
and no one knows, I wouldn't put it in the movie.

(04:59):
Like purpose, that's not what I want people to know
you for. And plus it just I don't know. I
just feel like that's a big part of not putting
it in the movie as well.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, you could also make the decision to cut the
movie off at a certain point or like they did.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's what they wanted to do with Bohemian Rhapsody. They
wanted Freddie Mercury to die in the middle of the
movie and then the rest it would be the band
going on without him.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Could you imagine that because the people living were the
ones doing Yeah. Brian Johnson, Brian may Brian May Right.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
He was like, yeah, we should die in the middle
of the movie. And then it's about how.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
We get with on Lambert. Yeah, half the movies Queen
with Anam Lambert and we're like that movie.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
We're good.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Michael Jackson. Inconsistent testimonies Defender's point to claims that some
accusers stories changed over time. The FBI reviewed aspects of
the case over several years, no federal charges were ever filed.
So to me, even though the controversy here is, they
did not put in the controversies. Looking at it now,

(05:57):
I don't feel I do feel like he was a
weird guy.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I don't feel like there's anything that we can point
out and go he did it. He's a bad guy.
He touched kids. I don't feel like that happened. I
don't feel like I can say that there's been concrete evidence.
I get why people don't want the controversies in. There
also just a weird time, like there were like three channels,
and if all three channels said something, we just believed it.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, that's true. The networks.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, there was no no Twitter, no independent news. You
had three channels on a newspaper.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's got to be tough too, Like when these when
they make ray you know, or whatever, and you start
talking about just like the infidelities and the dark side
of these people that no one knew. It's got to
be tough for family members to be like, hey, just
tell the whole story, this, all of it, so everyone knows.
Because what's the advantage, like's the advantage of keep Elvis
the way everyone knows Elvis or no, just let it

(06:45):
rip and let everyone know what Elvis did behind closed doors.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I think the advantage is if the movie feels grittier
and real, more people will watch it, and you hope
it's a net gain on what they take in from
the person. If you go, we're just going to do Mike,
can you? I Am a movie that was done a
biopic and it was too glossy and it was so
just nice to the person that it became almost unbelievable
because if that happens and a family does that, it's

(07:10):
so unbelievable we don't believe it, and then we don't
go watch it. They're not not making any money. And
if you're part of the family or you're part of
the people that have the true you're gonna make money
off of how successful the movie is. So I understand
the sentiment. Yeah, but you got to put some real
stuff in there, because then people will question it's legitimacy.
I did enjoy learning all that stuff about Ray, all

(07:33):
the Heroin stuffs crazy.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I mean, yeah, who knew all that? So yeah, to
your point that, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
But it's different, like kids is different than Heroin is
so different. I just based on as an adult because
when I was a kid and that stuff's happening, I
was like, Michael Jackson did it for sure, because the
news told me Channel seven told me seven on your
Side told me Michael Jackson did it, so I believed it.
I don't in my heart now because of everything that
I've seen, as far as no convictions, I don't. I

(08:00):
don't think he did. I think he was a weird guy.
I think he grew up very troubled. I think his
dad was awful to him. I think he was tiger
wooded in an that it was such discipline, so hard,
and then he just wanted to be a kid. He
never was able to grow out of that. I think
that's where that landed.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Are you going to watch this movie in theaters?

Speaker 1 (08:18):
No, I don't watch anyth in theaters. No, I'll stream it. Probably.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
I did fact check myself here because I told you
that the movie was longer. They did spend fifteen million
dollars to remove a scene that was about the allegations.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Oh wow, they spent money to remove a scene.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, because they had to go back and reshoot it.
So they spent another fifteen million dollars to reshoot the
ending because I was involved in the ending of this,
but there was a lawsuit from nineteen ninety three that
they had to go back and fix.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'll tell you what I would love to see, you know,
the death scene of how it all ended, because we
really don't know much about He overdosed with a ivy
in him, didn't he That's what we hear, right, But
I mean for me, like like when the doors, like
when the doors came out and you get to see
how Jim Morrison died in the bathtub and like all that,

(09:02):
Like to me, that was like closure of like, oh,
the whole story of the guy you're weird. Mann't weird?
You just want to Hey, La Bamba, you know you
want to see that was like the.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Death in La Bamba was actually the reason that story
became even the story. Had they not died that young,
I don't know that they would have been as famous
as they are now because I think of the happens
to a lot of people. You die young, when you've
got a couple of things going on, and people go, oh,
they would have created hits their whole life. You stick
with a lot.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of a lot of them. Yeah, young, I mean, I
don't know. There's just something like even the Elvis movie,
like there was no closure to Elvis's death, Like I
want to they talk about the toilet like it would
be cool.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
To you want to watch them sit on the toilet
and die, behard, that freaking weirdo.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
I want to see how the story ends. We're gonna
do the life story. I do want to see it
all the way to the end.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
I did think that the movie of Priscilla Presley's called Priscilla, Yes,
that was good. It was a good movie, and it
kind of also showed Devil's kind of creep.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah yeah, But at the same time, she was very no,
I wouldn't say defensive, but she was very like open
and saying like no, he never did anything to me
like he was. He gave me his his space, like
he but.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Didn't he like you there? When she was like fifteen.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh yeah, she was really young and he was older. Yes,
and then he had permission from her parents to take
her wild man crazy story, wild crazy story.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
He was twenty four, she was fourteen.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Oh my god, it got worse. Yeah, it's bad, it's
best and you almost want to say what different times,
But I don't know, man, I don't even know about
that there. So that's the controversy with the Michael Jackson movie.
Our Mike is going to watch it this weekend. If
it gets good reviews from Mike, I'll go watch it.

(10:53):
If it's to not, not go watch it, stream it
if it's too corny.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, I historically don't like music biopics, so I'm not
going in with it because, oh, like they didn't address that.
I'm not gonna like it. If I just don't like
the music part of it, it's gonna be weird.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You know What's that you were asking Mike about a
good glossy movie, and I think I don't know if
you ever saw it, but the Bob Marley movie that
they met.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
That's what I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I would say, what was that, Mike five years ago?

Speaker 3 (11:16):
It was like three years ago?

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Glossy?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
He wasn't like Robin Rady like going to raship gun.
Isn't that what he did? Like he would go on
and like take his gun into radio stations and make
him play his music.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, I've heard that story, the stories that I from
the Island Records guy. Yeah, he's told that story. And
also to all the infidelity of like you know, his
wife being in the band, but him having a bunch
of like they barely touched on that stuff. But he
has like a lot of kids and they barely even
my time, man, different time, But that I'd say that

(11:48):
was glossy because I really wanted to see some of
the gritty stuff and that was nothing really there.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
All Right, Next up we have five of these here.
Shania Twain is hosting the ACMs, So it's about as
big a gain as you can get. Yeah, it was
Reba the last couple of years, Garth and Dolly before that,
So it's about as big a get as you can get.
So congratulations to the ACMs forgetting Shanaia to host the show.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Did they pay her for that?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
It's not a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
So it's like a like a what do you call
it a union fear or something.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
No, it'd be more than that. Mostly it's the prestige
of it. The last couple of years it was Riba
and I was like the second person up. I was
actually on camera more, but I wasn't the host. They
didn't sell me as the host. But then things would
break and they'd be like, Bobby go out. And so
like the last three years I've been involved in that show,
and all three years are like, man, you do this,
your next stept to host the show, your next stept

(12:40):
to host the show. And they only told me like
a day and a half before. Look, there's no way
I should have been hosting it over Shanaiah. But for years,
you do this, you do this, You'll be the guy.
And so this year I was like, I don't know, maybe,
and they wouldn't say no, wouldn't say no. Leading up
to it, we've been talking about you. There's a shot.

(13:02):
And then got the call, Yeah it's gonna be Shanaia.
Dang and I'm like, man, I wish you told me
that like two months ago. Just say so again, Shanai
and Bobby, that would have worked.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Oh that would be real nice. I like the sound
of that.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
They did really lead me up to thinking, oh the
past few years like do this do this because even
me doing the show the last couple years of Rebel,
I was like, I love Reba, but I don't know
you get paid me standard fee or whatever, and so
I'm losing money going out there, like who cares? You know,

(13:37):
I can do this more people will watch for what
I care for. And so yeah, we got the call
and I was like, son of a gun and they're like,
you can still come and present.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I don't want to do that.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I'm good and it's in Vegas and shout out to Vegas.
A long trip, had a long trip. So congratulates to Shanaya.
That is awesome, not congratulations to me. No, well, they
walked me up to it. I just wish they would
have said way early, like hey, if it doesn't work
with Shanaya, because all everybody was waiting like, oh this
is it. We said the last couple of years, we

(14:13):
do this, boom out we go. So what get him
next time? Kid, Nah, there's no next time. Okay, I'm done,
I'm out. I'm done. Number three on the list. Did
you hear about Madonna's wardrobe going missing after she performed
a Sabrina Carpenter?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
No, anybody hear.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
By that story, Mike, did you? Okay, So at Coachella,
Madonna comes out and performs with a Sabrina Carpenter is
super cool. And so she comes out and one of
her Madonna outfits and Saberena Carpenter had even put on
a Madonna type outfit. Okay, oh that's very much Sabrina
now too, but they same vibe, same aesthetic. And so
Madonna's outfits like, they weren't just outfits, they were the

(14:55):
items that she originally wore during her two thousand Coachella debut.
And so so about one point thirty in the morning,
a golf cart moving across the festival grounds had her
clothes on it and then they were gone.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
So interesting.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
So now some reports say the belief is the bags
fell off the back of the cart right on a dark,
bumpy road.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
In the middle of the festival ground.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I know no evidence of the theft so far, which
is weird, because if you just find a bag and
it's got closed in it, you probably turn it in.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yes, they're a good intentions, or you at least look
at it and be like, oh, this is this.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Is Madonna's wardrobe, or this is some wardrobe I should
like take it to the visitor center. A vintage Gucci jacket,
a lilac corset. Why I sell boots from the tom
Ford era? Do your glasses? So not just expensive but significant?
Madonna said, these aren't just closed or part of my history.

(15:53):
She's offering a reward wow for the return of these clothes.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
But people steal stuff all the time, Like, this is
a memorabilia era we're in. Yeah, I know if this
were out. Well, there was also a story too, not
memorabilia wise, but the person that was posing is justin
Timberlakes team and they stole all the golf carts. Yes, yeah,
that's a whole funny story too. But this is an
era where if you can steal like something that has

(16:19):
cultural significance, you can sell it back, sell it in
some sort of say black market.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
That's the cliche thing to say. I mean, I would
go eBay, but I mean, is that even like, well.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
They tracked that quick cry need a private seller for
that one. So I pulled some of these other sports
ones because this happens in sports all the time. After
the Patriots Super Bowl comeback, Tom Brady's game warn jersey
that was stolen directly out of the locker room was
a big story because there was no break in. It
was just taken from a secure area. The thief was

(16:50):
a credential journalist who had access to the room. He
had actually stolen multiple items over time, including another Brady's
Super Bowl jersey and a Von Miller helmet.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
It was his thing.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
He just knew he had access.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Sang and it's probably just a little sneaky, little grab.
There's a jersey right there.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
No for sure, thought out, Oh yeah you think so
to get Brady's, Yeah, for sure, Like this, I've done
it before. This is the moment I can go. This
is precisely where I'm going to go. Otherwise, if you
want to get like Gaskowski's jerseys, that one is Tom
Brady's freaking jersey. So that was one. But they did

(17:31):
catch the person. The FBI tracked it down to Mexico. Wow,
they covered everything. So and that wasn't about somebody breaking in.
That was somebody that had access. Yeah, yeah, what do
they say that the killers in the house.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Or calls coming from inside the Yeah, it is the
calls coming from inside the house.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Lebron James Miami heat security guard stole hundreds of pieces
of memorabilia over time. One of the biggest items was
Lebron's Game seven jersey from the twenty thirteen NBA Finals.
The guards sold it for one hundred thousand dollars. It
later re sold it an auction for three point seven
million dollars. Wow, so this is and now they know this.

(18:09):
It was a slow, unnoticed operation this guy was doing
for a long time.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
It's like the office space, one little thing at a time.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, when they just don't like since it's a little bit.
It's weird though that that thing sold for three point
seven million, Like they never got it back. It just
now belongs to the person who paid.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
That is crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
The millions of dollars to it. Michael Jacks or excuse me,
Michael Jordan. Before a game in nineteen ninety, Jordan's jersey
was stolen from the locker room. There was no backup
number twenty three, so we had to wear number twelve
with no name on it.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
No way. You imagine the panic when he was like,
I can't find my jersey. Guys.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
He went on and scored forty nine points, but he
wore the number twelve. The original jersey has never been recovered,
which is why this story exists still because it's kind
of mythical.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I kind of want the number twelve jersey though, Like,
where is that thing?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Well somewhere out there though that twenty three is one
of the most memorable jerseys ever. Yeah, one if you
have that one that was stolen from the locker room,
and then one other one Wayne Gretzky's memorabilia heist. So
not a big hockey guy, but I know that here
was part of this. No, but they broke into his house,
his dad's house, No way. Yeah, they broke into his
dad's house in twenty twenty and stole a ton of stuff.

(19:16):
Game you sticks, jerseys, gloves, an award. Somebody knew that
was dad obviously and when in police eventually recovered a
lot of the items, most of the items after a
multi province investigation. So Canada, Yeah, yeah, but yeah, they
broke into the dad's house. Wow, most of these though,

(19:36):
even with them, they're not break ins. There are people
who knew people feel about a Madonna thing. I don't
feel like a bag of Madonna's clothes just fell off
the back of a cart, and if so, I want
to know who was driving the cart, because they put
it on the very bag the very bad way off,
and they hit some bumps on purpose so it would
come tumbling.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Because I don't think the regular person who finds a
bag with something any say. You even look in the
bag and you're like, wow, this is Gucci. This is
why said this is The average persons isn't going to
think like I could make money off of this.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
The average person is going to go, this would be
not mine, Oh my god. Yeah, And the average person
is probably gonna post it on Instagram, look what I found,
and like want to flex it. They're fined right there.
It's just not going to disappear, and they go it
fell off a golf cart down a bumpy dirt road exactly.
Hang tight. The Bobby Cast will be right back and

(20:25):
we're back on the Bobby Cast. Okay, I got two
other ones. We will get into a story that was
in sports and now it's crossed over into pop culture,
which is the head coach of the Patriots, Mike Rabel
and Dina Rassini, who worked at the Athletic as a reporter.
The pictures come out in Sedona, Arizona, and at first
you know they're interlocking fingers. Man, this feels like ages ago.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
It does. It does, and telling the story how we
first found out.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
And they're like, now, in the pictures of us, we
were with friends. Yeah, he's hanging out with a bunch
of a girl's trip. He drove up from football and
I don't know, and we've just been friends. And then
slowly it just starts to leak out maybe that's not
what happened, and then people start doing the interlocking finger
of beame. So then in the last couple of days

(21:16):
you saw the pictures of them in a bar in
New York and they were sitting facing each other, and
I think, Hea, they've just been sitting at a bar
in New York facing each other. I don't think those
would have popped as hard because it had been like, oh,
they're together, they're talking at a bar, nobody but the
touching in like one legs in between the other legs.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
He's grabbing her elbows like leaning out.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
It looks like he's about to kiss her. There's been
another photo that has popped up from them twenty twenty four.
I think it was pretty super Bowl and Biloxi at
a casino together. What I think is there? Why are
they sot in the open?

Speaker 2 (21:49):
I know, I mean care free as if like.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
You're both Rabel for sure as famous and she's famous
in that.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
World in the sports world.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, there are a lot of people that are going,
why is this even a story? People cheat all the time,
You're right, that's true, but when you have two famous
people cheating, that's always a massive story, always, and it's
like a crossover hit if a Rascal Flat song gets
so big a country and it goes to pop, Like
we in Nashville had that song existing for a long

(22:18):
time before people pop heard it. That was in the
sports world for a good four or five days before
it ever crossed over that.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
There was something going on there.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah, and so we knew about it and why it
got to the top of the charts in the sports
world is because she's a sports reporter who supposedly is
doing it the right way, going to her sources. She's
beating out other reporters because she's better at turns out,
most likely she was getting a lot of the information
because she was better at.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, getting in touch with the information.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Touching the information for a tend. The weird part has
been in the last couple of days, stuff has come
out about her husband, who looks a lot like Mike braind.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah, he does resembles him a little bit.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
So they have kids in one of their kids's name Michael,
and according to the timeline she was with Frabel pre Michael.
I don't think that's Brabil's kid, but that's a weird
coincidence that the kids named that.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
It really is. And there was a post, you know,
four days after she had the baby, and she's like
just looking at my four day old Michael and just
thinking about all the great football players and coaches named Michael. What.
I just love that the internet goes into just research mode.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, they pulled every tweet to hers out. I just
kept thinking, is she going to shut her Twitter down?
She locked her Instagram up maybe a day or two
before private, but her Twitter was vulnerable and people were
because anything, even if it didn't actually mean it. Now
it looks like everything Yeah, was connected to.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
It, that's true. Yeah, videos everything, there was one that.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Was like, man, had a great day, I'll be walking funny,
had a great night last night, I'll be walking funny today,
And so people were reposting that and it really probably
didn't mean anything. Yes, So did.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
You see the video where she's talking about being in
Miami and she's like, man, I went hard in Miami.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
She was like, my I didn't tell my husband all
the stuff I did or whatever. Yes. In the end,
the reason people care is because it's two celebrities doing it.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
And the story is if they would have just admitted
it for at first, it would not have gone on
this long. The fact that they said, stop paying attention
to this. It's laughable, I think, is what one of
them said. When people feel like you're trying to get
one over on them, they go in double until they.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Double down on you. All that research starts getting done.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
It's got to suck for her. Yeah, here's what it
sucks for her husband, their kids, yep, Mike Brabel's wife, yep,
his kids, his kids, and you know who it sucks
for it. Way after that, she's the one that did
it sucks.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
For her and she got fired.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah she got fired. Her contract was coming up anyway,
but yes she got fired.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Wild story. How this has taken over pop culture because
it is so sports, but people love human stories. Yep.
The final one here is first Mother's Day is coming
up for me. We had a kid six weeks ago
or so, and so what's my angle here.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
To make her day special?

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Okay, that's so easy to say. That's like when people say,
what's your advice for a relationship? Communicate this interesting? Go
big gift? Do I go handwritten long note?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
No money? Do what?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Like?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
What?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Man? What would you say?

Speaker 2 (25:46):
You know my wife? I do know your wife. And
let me just kind of go back to like, you know,
just me celebrating my wife's mother's day when we first
had kids, you know, like when we had our first son,
you know, that first year. It's interesting because I would
think that my wife would want to break right like
Mother's Day, let's go and I will take you to

(26:09):
dinner or lunch or whatever, we'll go hang out at
the lake whatever. And know the opposite, my wife wanted
to just hang out with the baby.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I find that to be true right now, because again
it's so new boy and I think her having the
baby close to Mother's Day is different than if the
baby was six months old. Sure, but I do find
that now I'm like, hey, do you need a break,
And she's like, no, I actually enjoy it. I'm with
the baby right now, so this is amazing.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
I'm good.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yes, Like sometimes she'll want to go shower or do
something human and I'm like, yeah, I got you covered,
or like she went to like get her haircut or something,
and I'll watch the baby. But You're right about that?
Is that at times when I'm like you go, do
you She's like, no, I'm doing me. This is what
I want to do.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Even now we have four boys and like your oldest
is eighteen, young as a seven. And it's like, do
you want to take a break, like for Mother's Day?
Like we can go to a movie, we can do
whatever you want. She's like, no, I want to hang
out with them. So, man, what do you think she
would want to do? Like the all three of you guys, Like,
have you guys left the house?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
No, because the baby hasn't got it's two months. Yes,
we have to do walks, not around any other people.
The two month shots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ain't got them yet.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Okay, so you can't really do that. You can't really
go somewhere.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
By Mother's Day, though I could, could you?

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah? Was that in two weeks?

Speaker 1 (27:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
It's like, yeah, okay, all right, we're getting there. Okay.
I mean I think that'd be kind of cool to
take her somewhere, take her out because you guys really
haven't done anything with the baby, because she's going to
want to spend time with the baby. Are you thinking gift?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
I don't know. I I've never even thought about Mother's Day.
I know because one mom's I'm been alive for a
long time, and so she has. My wife hasn't been
a mom. That's just been so off my radar. If
you would have asked me six months ago what month
is Mother's Day, no idea. I wouldn't have even known. It
was in May. Yeah, so it'll be a date now

(28:00):
that you'll remember. Is it on is it like Thanksgiving
like every fourth Sunday? Or is it on actually like
the eleven? It's on a Sunday though, right.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Always on a Sunday.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Okay, second Sunday, So second Sunday in May?

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, I saw I was on that Sunday man, did
I tell you what happened last year?

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Though?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Last year in my family, like I didn't forget Mother's Day.
My wife's birthday was just a few days before Mother's Day,
and so I just felt like it was a double scolding.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
I forgot Mother's Day.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
It was bad. So I was just kind of looking
at it like, oh, we celebrate the birthday and then
do what I normally do. Buy flowers in a little
Mother's Day balloon, put it in the kitchen, and boom,
there's Mother's Day. But the kids never said Happy Mother's Day,
like and it was almost a point where I was like,
do I tell them, like, hey, guys, it's Mother's Day, Like,
go tell your mom Happy Mother's Day. Let's do something

(28:51):
for her. But I didn't. And the whole day nobody
said Happy Monsday to her. I did, but my boys didn't.
And she was though, it's totally on me, Yeah, and
it was just bad. She was just like I cannot
believe we went the whole day and you guys didn't
recognize Mother's Day. Because I always thought, like, you know what,
we did the whole celebration. It was like a three
day celebration. But no, that didn't count. So yes, do something,

(29:16):
do something.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, we'll do something. I just don't know what she
really wants. Have you asked around like a little hint
here and there? No, I literally, and my wife is good.
I could literally say what do you want? She would
tell me. Then I would get it for her and
she would be happy with it.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
But that's not your style.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
No, it's not my style. And also I don't like
be done.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Like that because then she's telling you what to do.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
No, I don't like if it's it's my birthday, she goes,
what do you want? I'm like, I don't know. I
don't want anything. And then when she doesn't get me anything,
I'm like, why don't you give me anything? That is
I'd like to really put the screws. I want you
to figure it out. Right, I should be worth the investment, right,
But she's not like that. I know, but I feel
like she's worth the investment. So I don't want to
ask her. But then, so that's coming out, that's in
my mind.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
That's interesting.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
So for everybody out there, Mother's Day is come.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Do not forget it. May ten And if you have kids,
tell them too that it's a Mouther's day and have
them do something as well.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
One other this will be an honorable mention. And so
what we call this show today? Things in case you
missed it, In case you oh what's Oh? I see
who do that thing? Huh?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
I see why? Am I?

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah? In case you missed it, I see why? Am why?
Whatever the date.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Is is in case one word or two words?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Well, and I also forget this one and that it's I see,
so it'd be two okay, But if I were spelling it,
I think I would write it. I'd write it.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
It doesn't sound like one.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
I'd write it one word, but I don't is that right?
One word?

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Did it be a little autocorrect?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
In case if something is true it is too i'd
be wrong then.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
The other thing is if we could get Dylan to
come up to a microphone for a second, so Dylan
works production won't be able to see him here. But
I started watching the whole cocon documentary on Netflix. Oh
have you seen any I'm not controversial guy? Obviously, Yeah,
I watched the first episode. It's really good. And so Dylan,
how old are you Dylan?

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Now?

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:09):
Twenty six?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Okay, So what do you mean now. So we were
talking about this because you did you watch some of
the documentary?

Speaker 4 (31:17):
I have not seen it yet.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Okay, who Brandon?

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Did you watch it?

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Anybody watch?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
So we were talking about it and Brandon was like,
watch first episode and so I love wrestling, especially wrestling
back in the day. And Dylan, you were where were
you in Florida?

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I think it was clear Water? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Why were you in clear Water?

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Just vacation?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
And so he said there was a whole coching. Do
you have his own store or statute?

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, he had his own like I don't want to
say memorabilia store. It wasn't like memorabilia, but it was
like just wrestling.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Museum on Main Street. And he's got like a there's
like a mannequin outside.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yes, seen it? Yeah, you know what I'm talking.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I've seen it.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yes, go ahead of the story.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
So me and my dad were out there and we're
like taking a photo and with the you him out
in front of it, and this big black truck rolls
up and the window rolls down and we're obviously not looking,
and all we hear is, why don't you guys go
in there buy yourself something real nice?

Speaker 2 (32:11):
We look, it's freaking whole cogin. No way.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Oh just wait, So it's whole cogin.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
There's more.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
There's more, Yeah, not only that.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
And Brandon clarified this and I'll say it in a second,
but he did give us five hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
He's like, go go get yourself something real nice.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
He had it on five hundred bucks from the truck.
He said, go buy yourself something nice.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
But he's just giving himself five hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Really know, he.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Didn't have to, but you also didn't have to spend
at all.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
That's true, but we did.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
He literally gave you five hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yes, and we were trying to get selling bit.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
That was like the red light turned green.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
That is a crazy story. But yeah, so what did
Cogan pulled off? Follow up?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
What did you buy? We bought two belts to repic belts.
One was w w F and then the other one
I think was like a SmackDown one.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Did he sign them? Were they signed? In the story? No?

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Just rep belts? So dude, what was he wearied?

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Like? That's he didn't get out of the truck. Was
his bald head? No, he did have a bit, Oh
he did. Yeah, so that's cool in this documentary. I've
only seen one episode as of now, and this is
the last thing he'd do one camera before he died.
He can barely walk around. Really yeah, I mean imagine
because he's in his seventies. I think when he died,
imagine being a wrestler, especially back in the day day. Yeah,

(33:22):
when you just slammed h I mean hard, yeah, hard.
But I thought the whole Cogain store was wild.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
That is amazing. He died hard heart attack.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
He died, I believe in surgery or like after a surgery, right.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Yeah, cardiac arrest.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
He was seventy one.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
During surgery, during or right after.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Dang, wow, what a crazy story.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Dylan, the same thing. He told me Thatcuse I'm thinking
about all day yesterday. I thought about it so much.
I started the documentary. I got on the treadmill, and
I was like, I can't live dealing. Got five hundred
bucks Moregan, I'm turning the documentary on.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
