Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Everybody, Welcome to another episode of Headlines of the Week.
The name sucks. Look, we tried this last week and
I called it in case you missed it, and then
when we loaded it, everybody thought it was just the
best of Oh okay, that's not good, just playing old stuff.
So we headlines. We'll catch you up. We don't have

(00:32):
a name for it yet, but that's what we're gonna do. Okay,
are you ready ready? I'm Bobby, I'm Eddie. That's Eddie.
If you're watching on Netflix and you're new, we're now
going to catch you up on the things from this
week that you need to miss. No, God, we suck on.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
We'll start with this. There was a Zach Bryan show
in Lincoln, Nebraska this week and he had to cut
his show oh short because of lightning. He played twenty
of twenty six songs, but the lightning got so bad.
There was even a picture I think that he posted
it once. Everybody got upset and it was them playing
and it's this massive lightning bolt like cracking on top

(01:13):
of them.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Wow, that's probably the one that made them go in And.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Everybody was upset, or at least a lot of people were
upset because they had to cancel the show. So Zach Bryan,
never afraid to tweet at fans, called one lady Karen
ah tweet. I believe that was his response because she
was like, hey, you need to like refund us some
So here's my official stance on shows getting cut short,

(01:39):
much like a baseball game. Like for a baseball game
to count, it has to go seven innings.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
If you don't go seven innings, you go three innings.
We'll just pick it up where everybody come come back. Yes,
five innings. Once it hits seven innings, that is an
official baseball game. I think once a show hits an hour,
nobody wants to stop their show. But once a show
hits an that's seven innings and twenty of twenty six songs.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
You would have known the difference.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Had the guy just went out and played twenty songs,
you wouldn't have been screaming, we want our money back.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
You would have been like, that's a heck of a show.
Twenty songs. That's crazy. Here's one thing to argue about that.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Sometimes these artists hold that big song or the big
hits till the very end. And if you make it
through twenty because you want to hear I like it,
I love it, or like friends in low Places and
you miss that on that one.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oo, that would hurt a little bit. Sometimes artists don't
even play their big songs. So I don't think that's accurate,
because they are artists that we know that are like,
you know what, I'm not going to play that song tonight. Yeah,
they're tired because they have so many hits. So twenty
of twenty six songs, that's a full show.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
You're almost done. Yeah, that's a full show.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
To the people that were tweeting and saying you owe
us a partial refund, no, no, it's either a full
show or it's not. And then some people were like,
you give us fifty bucks in your merch store. What
Zach Bryan does not owe anyone else anything. And trust me,
I've had my issues with the guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(03:07):
but he's one of the top three stars in country
music right now as far as getting people to come
to show. Sales more tickets than pretty much everybody up
there with Wallin and Comb's Zach Bryan. That's the top
tier of selling concert tickets. And if you go to
a show twenty songs is a full show. If he
just played twenty songs and walked off, you wouldn't think
you were being screwed over. And also it's massive lightning.

(03:30):
So have you ever been to a show that was
canceled like his weather.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Like in the middle of it canceled. No, not that
I can remember. I remember I was looking forward to
Counting Crows. It was a tour where Counting Crows was
opened up for live but I guess they were both
headliners so they would alternate, and they were coming to Austin,
and man, I was looking forward to that show, and
I drove all the way to Austin. I was limiting
in South Texas at the time, McCallen, so I drove
up there in the day of it was just raining

(03:54):
and rain and then they eventually called.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
It and a lot of times for just rain, the
show will go on. It still does ruin the instruments, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
for sure. And if it does rain, and this isn't
universal across the board, but if it rains and the
artist still plays, a lot of times they won't use
their best instruments because they know water will still messed
up up.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah, so you're not going to mess up the good ones.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
So you're not going to use your best guitar. You
know what made me so mad about that show though.
On the ticket it said rain or shine, and I
remember that guy, dude, I remember thinking, like liars.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
It does suck though for the artist because they don't
want to travel. It's not just about them, it's they
have a whole production crew to pay for it to
get to that city. So they're losing money too. So
even if you get refunded, which you probably did. That
was a full refund, they lost money because they had
to pay to get there. They had to pay for
their buses, their gas and the buses, the food. They

(04:48):
they could have easily gone to the next city. So
they probably got to the city and had to make
that call, Oh we're not gonna be able to have
this show.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, that's a tough decision.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
A lot of times too, if it's raining and the
weather looks bad through the entire night, they'll call it
because of that as well, and then just move on
to the next Well, even at Stagecoach this.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Last week, Oh yeah, the wind so it.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Got so windy that they had to cancel some people,
and then they took Lanny Wilson, who was headlining that night,
and they moved her to like ten thirty or eleven,
like even later. So she got up and Riley Green
was canceled, Like, imagine, he's still gonna get paid, by.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
The way, Yeah, the festivals kind of do that, right.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
So he went out. He did not get to play right.
Whenever Lanny was playing her show, she brought Riley out
to play a song.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
And I did see that.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Riley, and like Sidney Sweeney played like a bar or
something or say.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Like karaoke.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
She had a like a pop up yeah yeah, yeah
in that. So that's why everybody was singing with Sidney Sweeney.
She literally had like a commercial, one big commercial happening.
And I think everybody knew if they went to that,
because that's all Bailey's Immermann singing karaoke with Sidney Sweeney.
And I thought, that's crazy, Bailey knows Sidney. And then
it turns out she had it. It's smart, it's there,
and then all the artists go sing with her because
they want to meet her, and then they shared on

(06:04):
their socials and I believe it was like, what is
it some kind of lingerie company or something.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Very smart and then she was there and enjoying the
show too with Scooter. Yeah, but a very smart commercial
for Sidney Sweeney, because that's what that was. Riley was
canceled and Journey was canceled.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh wow, Journey lead singer.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Still same guy that's not the lead singer.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, Joe Perry.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
So he's Steve Perry, Steve Perry, Joe Perry's Aerosmith Erosmith.
Steve Perry not in the band anymore. So who sings
for Journey?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
The guy they found off YouTube? Ah, that's right, it's
really good, Okay, I mean sounds just like and I
saw there was some beef two with him and them.
You can't go to your third lead singer. I don't
know if that's a stage coach no, just in general,
like I saw some some some internet fights, and I'm
not sure if it's true or not, but you can't
go from your third or your second lead singer to
your third.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
You can go from your second back to your first.
Vanalen did that.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
So if you do lose your lead singer, h you
can then get a new one one time. You get
one coupon yep. And if that works great, but you
can't go to a third. If you do never work.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It never works. Van Halen did it with the guy
from Extreme.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Van Halen did both of those examples.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, they did. They went. Then they had they had
David Lee Roth and one.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
He was og then Sammy Hagar correct equal or more success? Yeah,
And I think if you do say more success with
that band, it's based off of the success they already had.
So when you say more success, I think it was
trending upward and just kept trending upward.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
I will say that the Sammy Hagar move made him
a little more of a serious band because some of
their music, like right Here Right Now was a song
that they put out, was a little more political and
to that. Before then van Halen was.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Just a oh yeah personality the lead singer.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, So so it made him a little more of
a serious band. I was a little too young for
van Halen, but I like the David lead Roth version better.
That's the eighties, just Sammy Hagar. And then they had
the guy from Extreme. Yeah, dude, I don't know his name.
I just know they're one song.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
More than words? Is it?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
But Sharon Yeah, possibly there you have a computer right
in front of me.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
But see, I don't even know boom, let's go. I
nailed that. Good job, man.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
I don't even know if they had an album because
like I don't remember that they did.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
It was I would imagine if you have a new
lead singer, you have to put out an album, like
if you declare this is our new lead singer.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
But they did go back to Daily Roth. Then they
went back to Davidly Roth.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Have you seen the video of David Lee Roth walking
down a hallway in a hotel and he hears like
a party in a hotel room and they're playing like
Jump or Panama or something. So he knocks on the door.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
But those are his songs. Yeah, yeah, jump in Panama.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
That was Daily Roth.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
And so he knocks on the door and this like
college kid answer is like, yeah, we can help you.
Hey man, you're listening to my song. Oh do you
want us to turn that down?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I thought it was an old man.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's funny. So Jump in Panama or Daily roh huh
hot for teacher that I do know, Davidly and just
a Jiggilow those are the two.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, And then Sammy Hagar was more like right now
till tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah, Okay, speaking of older bands, I did an interview
with the New York Times last week and they called
me to talk about these festivals that are putting country music.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Festivals like Stage Coach that are.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Putting these alternative bands mostly from the nineties and early
two thousands on on, like the lineup. Yeah, and so
I was talking with it. They were like, why do
people like this? And I had a couple of answers.
I don't know if my answers are right, but to me,
I said, well, one, people love to sing songs they know.
And at Stage Coach, I think the Wallflowers played, Counting
Crows played, Third Eye Blind played, Journey was supposed to

(09:48):
play but the weather got them. So there are a
lot of those bands, I said, But people know those songs,
and it doesn't matter. As long as you got somebody
that's playing hits, it doesn't really matter the genre. So secondly,
a lot of that songwriting from that time in that genre,
it's kind of what country music does now. Personal tell

(10:08):
stories and said, I think that's a part of it too.
And then it's also the people that can afford the tickets.
For the most part, enjoyed those bands when they were kids, yeah,
like adult Yes, So that to me would make me
want to go to a festival, and I'm festivaled out.
We've played a bunch of them as an artist, We've
been to a bunch of We've been to a bunch
of them. Yeah, But I think adding acts like that

(10:30):
is super fun your.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Thoughts, Yeah, I mean I enjoy it, you know, especially
our age. You know, we love country music the way
it is now. But then if you see litt Is
playing like all right, like bonus, counting crows like bonus,
I think saying man like, I think people that love
country music love other genres of music.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
What I said in the interview was, I think if
you were a country music fan in the late nineties
and early two thousands, because before boy bands, like, the
biggest music was the alternative stuff. Yeah, I think country
music fans got the alternative stuff. I don't think every
alternative fan got country music correct, because I think country

(11:14):
at the time was a bit to niche where alternative
could have been considered niche. But it exploded and was pop.
Yeah at that point. So country fans got the alternative
music fed to them, but not all alternative fans got
country music fed to them, and I think that's a
reason as well.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
So I have a really good example of that. So
I growing up, like in fifth grade, I had a
friend of mine who was like my best friend, my
fifth grade best friend, right, we were like really close.
He moved away to another town and then like we
would stay in touch together with like letters, you know,
just like hey, how's it going out there?

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Whatever?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
And then like three years later, four years later, he
comes back into town. He's like, you want to hang
out and like, you know, grab lunch or something.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
And I was showed.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I showed up in my cowboy boots, like I was
all Garth Brooks out.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Like wranglers, you know, one of the.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Brush Popper shirts, and he is like all grunged out
and we're like whoa, like crazy, this is like what
are you listening to? And I was like, oh I
love Pearl Jam, Man, Dravana all that. And I'm like,
oh I love Pearl Jam And everybody's like yeah, but
you look like you're a cowboy. I'm like, oh, I
love Garth Brooks too, But it's because I was a
country fan, but I also loved all that other music.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
He wasn't.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
He was a grunge guy who was like, you listen
to Garth Brooks, Like that's weird.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, So to your point, that's exactly how it was
with me.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
There's a festival that is happening in Kentucky in September.
This looks awesome. It's the most awesome festival possible I've
ever seen. Yes, and this is us as music fans first, nerd. Second.
It's called Bourbon and Beyond in Louisville, right, and they're
not paying us. I don't even know we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
We're just fans. We're just fans.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
And it's September twenty fourth, twenty fifth, twenty sixth and
twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's right, gosh, that's too much.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I'm be honest with you.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
I'm be honest.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
That's too much.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I remeund with four days, but that's so Just look
at the lineup.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
There's a massive country music presence here, but they've also
it's almost fifty to fifty with like cool bands from
back in the day and current country music.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
What's the name again?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Beyond?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, Bourbon and Beyond all Right.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
It's at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville. On Thursday,
It's food Fighters, Gosh, Queens of the Stone Age awesome.
On Friday, Mufford and Sons, Casey Musgraves cool on Saturday,
Chris Stapleton, Red Clay Stres On Sunday, Dave Matthews Band
Hooting the Blowfish.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's awesome. And those are the headliners of all all
four days.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
And so other bands that are playing like Jason Isbell,
Counting Crows, Charlie Crockett, right a Country four nine Blonde, Yeah,
kind of pop, alternative, Portugal Demand, Gary Clark Junior, that's blues,
Joan Jet and you could keep going down and their
stuff like Adam ant Amos Lee a ton of country acts.

(13:53):
But then also Caitlin Butt's Vertical Horizon.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Wow, She's everything I want.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, he almost got that.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
He's everything I want. Maybe your version, how does it go?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
You might be right? She's everything. Now I'm confused, She's
everything I need. Maybe it's a He's am I.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
It can work both ways. I don't know, is it?
He did you start singing?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
She?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
I said? She at first? Okay, he's everything you want? Everything?

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, Yeah, that's a jam. And they also had Blue
Sky Morning.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
You're a guy. Oh yeah, I am not.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
As a jam a vertical Riding had like three awesome songs. Anyway,
this festival looks really cool, and are we going? Probably?
I mean honestly, probably not, but it'd be cool to go.
It would be really I don't have the energy.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
To do festivals. I mean, the only way we could have.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
A baby now too. I know, if I tell my
wife I'm gonna go watch it because the phrase up.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
There, she's not gonna get that.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
She's gonna be like, really, but you never seen like
the the people that go to festivals with their babies
and they got the little headphones on there.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
That would be that dude. That would never happen. I
don't love festivals enough for that to happen. It would
be cool to maybe go for a night. The Fray
is playing is a long way for a night. It's
like two and a half hours, is it?

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah? From here? Okay, you're driving, I'm not going the Fray.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
They don't have the original lead singer.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh right, did he die or do they fight?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
No? No, I don't I think he left. I don't
I know he didn't die because I see him sometimes
on Instagram he's the ball dude.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yes, I remember that the.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Guitar player from The Fray is now the lead singer
of the Fray.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I feel like if your.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Lead singer leaves and you switch them out, that should
be put in parentheses. Oh, like the Fray, new lead
singer the Fray, not the same lead singer, Okay, like Sublime. Yeah,
whoever the guitarist is, let's call him Chuck. The Fray
with Chuck as the lead singer. Yeah, because I don't

(15:58):
know what they sound like. I loved the phrase, it's
the only artist I've ever seen because we were they
were doing a show for my radio show. They were headlining,
and they played, and they finished the show, and I'm
backstage because I'm gonna go on after the show and
thank everybody for coming out. I watched them finish their set,
walk back, come back out to encore, listen to the

(16:19):
crowd and go ah, not enough, and they.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Went back and that was it.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
The crowd didn't want it enough, or maybe they didn't
want to go out enough, but they surveyed the crowds
cheering and said nah, not for us, wow, and then
turn the lights back on.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Gotta respect that. That's the time, it didn't because it
was my show. You're like, what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (16:39):
You do the songs? I was a massive the Frey fan. Yeah,
it's weird without the lead singer, but I haven't heard them.
I hope he sounds exactly like the other guy.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, that's interesting, Like do you do you start singing
like the other guy or do you do your own
little twist to it? I hope less twists more and
more like the trist or.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Any guy we're talking about, sounds just like sounds just
like him, Like they went they sought someone, even someone
like ac DC when their lead singer Bond Scott died
like late seventies.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Did he also sing high?

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, very much so, and so Brian Johnson, who's the
lead singer now or was through their major commercial American success,
had a very similar sound and style. Although I've heard
him do like commercials from before he was famous, and
he sings so straightforward like.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
That.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
I think his skill was he could just kind of
sing like Bond Scott did.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Wow, but you know.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Rock Yeah yeah yeah, And that's what we're saying, like
you can if you can emulate your voice to sound
like the original, Like what's I mean? The best case
scenario is the Sublime guy. I mean, it's his son,
so he sounds just like his dad, because I don't
know what Rome sounded like.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
But I don't know Rome Rome or is it Rome?

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Is it Room Sublime with Rome, I don't know if
he made himself sound like Bradley or what.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
But like you know, in this case, the son sounds
just like I think.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
I think Rome was already an artist, so he was himself
just playing with Sublime, but very much had a Sublime sound.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
But I don't think he had like the vocal, the
same vocal, mannerisms, et cetera. But his son does sound
like him. Yeah. Also playing this festival, plaining White teas
our lady piece.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Oh cool. Do you know the plain White Tea song? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Hey there Delilah, Hey they're Delia. And that was another
one too that they did that was really good.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Uh yeah three uh one two yeah, it's numbers in it.
It is numbers three yeah, three, hold on, okay, it's
three two, come on.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
I keep I keep thinking of the Bruno Mars one.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
No, no, no, I'll get it. I got a lot of
songs in my head right now.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'm like one two three, but four two one.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
That ain't it, but we're trying.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Oh man, what is it? But it was good.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
I got to listen to it.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
I remember when we were working for I was working
for a music television station and we interviewed the playing
the plain White Teas and they gave us the singer
and the drummer, and they're like, man, it sucks to
be the drummer because the two songs that are.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Really big, you're not in the right because they didn't
have drums right one day Tuesday three. Yeah, that's I
Love You, I Love You.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
That's a good one. Also, our Lady Piece is awesome.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Oh dude, clumsy Superman's dead.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, remember was that one? I Love is a three?
Is it?

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Three am?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Four am, four am? Oh it's so good.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, yeah, that's fib No, No, you're thinking somewhere like
five Ole American Tail.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, different, it's not that. The American Tale was the
eighties cartoon of a mouse that got lost from his parents.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
No, you're out there somewhere out there, Oh of course.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
So that's an awesome festival. I love when they mix
it up like that.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Again.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Other country artists like maximc Nowns playing, that's cool, Caitlin,
but it's better than Azah, that's awesome, better than Averyanna,
who's done this podcast, who just won the ACM Best
New Artist, Lisa Lobes playing.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Wow, I'm telling you, didn't you have a crush on this?

Speaker 1 (20:13):
Everybody? Every dude did, right.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I didn't, but I guess every dude but you. Okay.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
So there's that shout out to all the festivals putting
on artists that aren't exactly like the expected artists, because
I think that is really great for the consumer because
you don't have to go you don't like, you don't
have to go down to coast stage you do. Yeah, No,
that's an option.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Hang tight, The Bobby Cast will be right back. Wow,
and we're back on the Bobby Cast.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
There's a story I wanted to talk about.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
It's out of Vegas and I saw the Twitter account
Las Vegas locally tweet this and somebody had hit a
ten million dollar slot jackpot.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
This this We're going to drive you crazy. And I
am somebody who waited tables a lought in my life,
had a lot of jobs where I not only expected
but needed tips because that was why we did the
jobs such as as a waiter. You didn't make a
full hourly wage. So the money that you took home
to pay your car payment, to pay your insurance, pay
your rent.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Was tip money. Yeah, so I'd like to say that
up front.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I don't know where this is going. This will stay
up front. A big tip guy. I love tipping out.
My favorite thing. I got a few hobbies, going to games, tipping, eating, tipping.
All right, there's an older couple from Iowa. They had
a ten million dollar jackpot on a slot machine, and
everybody was upset because they didn't tip. They didn't tip

(21:43):
who off a slot machine? So then this account Las
Vegas locally says, if you hit a ten million dollar
slot jackpot in Vegas, you should tip the people who
provide a good service and made the trip fun. What
are you talking about, who the slot attendance?

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Oh my good, the person that came up with all the.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Keys, cocktail servers.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Anything around thirty thousand dollars to spread around is fine.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
That is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Now, I'd like to say, if you want to do that,
that's awesome, go for it. You just want ten million,
So basically you're going to get five and a half million, right, great, yes,
after taxes, life change and life changing money. And I
would hope that you would just generally be nicer to
people because you have more.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Absolutely, you're probably way happier as soon as you win,
You're you're a happy person.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
I have real trouble with a slot winning to have
a mandatory tip, because nobody did anything. Like the people
that are bringing you drinks. You're tipping them as they come.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
And you don't know if you just put one dollar
in there and hit it, like you're assuming they were
there for you know, thirty minutes.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
What if they just want to It's a great point too.
And again I totally understand if you have come into
a lot of luck, I like to pass that on.
There's a great good fortune on me. I like for
other people to have good fortunesure generally speaking. Also, I
worked in the service industry. I don't feel like if
you're playing a slot machine that there's a huge service
being done.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
And if there is, if.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
The person's walking around bringing drinks, you're tipping them as.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
You go every time. It's like if I play craps.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I tip the dealer or I will put money down
and play for the dealer, which they often like, Yeah,
more than just the tips. But I mostly do that
for luck.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh not because you're thanking them for their.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Service, No, because I don't think they get all of it.
I think it just gets spread out over over a
bunch of people.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Because it does look like they take it and they
put in this big old bag with a bunch of
other chips in there.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
And if I leave with a big pile of money
that I didn't start with, I for sure throw ten
bucks back on the table, twenty bucks back on the table.
But I'm not obligated to do that, as I feel
like I'm obligated to do that if I'm having dinner
and the person that is serving me is serving me
for their.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Ways, Yes, for my ways. Yes.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
The fact that everyone's going crazy. They didn't tip off
a slot machine blows my mind.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
I'm to tip. Let me show you my tips.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Oh yeah, yeah. They don't even know about what you
do with sonic. No, I would say, I like, show
my tips. Oh I was doing it. I got myself in.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
A sonic yeah sonic man.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
No, I've created an unhealthy environment at my local Sonics
because what I will do is you brought this up.
I did.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
This is not of my own volition. What I do,
funny story.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Is I order on the app Big Sonic guy. My
name's on the app, Bobby, And so when I order,
mostly I just order like a large water with nerds
and real fruit. Sometimes I get a corn dog, but
it's always just a few bub healthy and I can
tip on there and it's like two or three bucks.
But for the same reason, if I have good fortune,
I like to pass that fortune on. I'll tip one

(24:51):
hundred bucks on a two or three dollars order if
I have one hundred dollars in my wallet, which a
lot of times I do.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
And most of the time these these servers are like
you know, teenage. Yeah, it's like a huge can you
imagine them get a hundred dollars bill?

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Like what?

Speaker 1 (25:04):
And some are some just people grinding a way sure,
And I mean my sister managing a Sonic for a
while now, so like I get it. The problem is
if I get there and I don't have one hundred
bucks in my wallet, which has happened a few times, it's
like I've disappointed them tremendously because I don't know if
they see Bobby and then there's like a race out

(25:25):
to see who gets it. If I only give them
a twenty or if I only have like three dollars
a tip, they hang their head.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
And I feel bad.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
So it's put me in a weird place to where
almost now, if I don't have one hundred bucks in
my wallet, I don't go.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, you set that standard. I know. I really do
believe that they do see your name and they're just like,
I got it, I got this one.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well, I know they do it. Also, maybe that they
have dedicated stall numbers.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Okay, so but don't you go to the same one
I very much. You're a very regiment regiment the same
thing every.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Time, So shout out to Sonic. They don't pay for
anything here. But I believe in tipping. I don't believe
that there's an obligation to tip if you win slots
or if you win any gambling. You know why, because
you're gambling your own money.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
To possibly lose.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Correct, as a matter of fact, you're probably gonna lose
because you're paying for entertainment.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yep, that's what gambling is. You know what, though, I
do understand that this account or whatever, Vegas whatever. When
you said it was I understand where they're coming from.
They're trying to look out for their own people. I'm
sure the community would love tips, every part of the community.
But no, that's this is the dumbest thing I ever heard,
the expectation of it.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
No, as your people would say, no, Boyno, my people
would say that, Yeah, you want to movie Bueno? Is
that right?

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yes, really good. If you don't want to know, it's okay, okay.
So that was another one of my stories. Do you
tip the gambling tables?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Man, that's a tough one for me.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
If I hit a good one, like if I'm at
Roulette and I hit like a number, yeah, I'll throw
ten dollars at the dealer. But it's a hard one
because the dealer had nothing to do with that that spin.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, and you're not just getting a service, you're actually
risking your own money.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Right.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
It's a hard one. And I really this is something
I started doing recently. Like before, I was like, I'm
not tipping this the stupid dealer, I know.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Like, why would I do? But I don't think that
I'm just repeating you now.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
I'm like, no, it's Okay, if I hit a big one,
you can afford it, just give them ten bucks.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
You got good fortune, why not pass on the good
fortune direct? You know what I'm also gotten better at
is a hotel. Like, when I leave a hotel, I'll
leave a tip. I never used to do that.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, if you have a couple bucks, leave a couple
of bucks.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Yeah for the for the cleaning people, you know, the
the maid service whatever, Like, it's great, you can do it.
Never thought And part of it is because I never
I never watched them. I never see him cleaning, so
I never see the service being done. But it's good
to remember afterwards.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
But I'm I used to clean cabins at this resort,
and so man, when people leave us, even like two bucks,
it is awesome.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
We split it too. But it was awesome. And again
it's two bucks.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
It was you and who my grandma, and so you
all would split it evenly. She wouldn't take a majority
because she.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Probably took you there and she was also just awesome.
I guess, Yeah, that's all. That's really cool, so we would. Yeah,
if there was a tip left from the last person,
we would split the money. Wow, unless she like would
hide a little upfront, and I never saw it.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
That's a good point. I don't think she did.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
But I also wouldn't put.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
It past her because she did teach me how to
play cards.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
My grandma raised me for a lot of my life,
show me how to play cards and poker at four
or five years old.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Didn't she run a bingo?

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh dude, Well, first she taught me how to cheat.
After she taught me how to play cards. Yes, a
little tricks, little tricks like you know, looking at the
bottom of card on the deck. But I'm just like
seven with these skills. But yeah, she loved to play bingo,
like gamble bingo. And I would go as a kid
and we would go to the VFW. We'd go to
the Benedictine Manor with the dobbersh No, it was slide

(28:55):
cards at first. We'd go to the Elks Lodge and
you would go and you'd buy's like a dollar a
card or whatever, and you play all night. And so
the dabbers happened later at some of the fancier places,
but that would cost more to play because they had
to always keep buying paper cards.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, because you daub them.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
The ruined where we played, it was always the same cards,
so there was no real u. The price never went
up because there was never buying new cards. But we
did that for a long time, and I used to
go with her a lot and so, but she loved
to gamble anyway. It didn't matter poke that's where I
get That's kind of where I get it. And so
they shut down all the bingo in Arkansas because it

(29:35):
was illegal gambling. At the same time, Oakland Racetrack was
still happening.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Come on, guys, doesn't seem fair to me. It doesn't
seem fair to me either.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
But what she did was a lot of the old
ladies that still wanted to play. They would call each
other and she had a van and they would be
like eight of them and they would drive around the
city in a van and play it in the van
with money while the.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Van was moving.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Yeah, it's almost like international waters, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Until they got pulled over and they took my Grandmather
to jail. Oh yeah, got arrested. Now, they didn't put
her in the in jail jail. They they freed her
like like they liberated her.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah. No, she went to she got arrested and they
took her in, so.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
They pulled, They pulled them over, and then like all
these old ladies in the back, were you there too?

Speaker 4 (30:22):
No?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Wow, so I think because I took up a seat
and didn't have the money to take up the seat.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Only so much room in a van, or yeah it's
a big van. Wow, that that is.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
I haven't thought about this story in so long, but yeah,
she got arrested.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Did she have to serve like any time? Literally, it
was nothing. It was like a little fine. This sounds
like an inside job. It's almost like somebody like tipped them.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Mind. They pulled over a van with an old lady
driving to her again, they would switch drivers.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
I remember that they would so one can play.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I think, thinking back, if you won, you then had
to drive, or so you want one won until the
next and then they switched. That seems fair, But that's
wild to think about my grandma doing that back in
the day whenever we would have poker nights, just her
and I because she'd sharpened me up, and she would
beat me and she would take my money. And I

(31:11):
remember once I was out of money and she was like,
when you're out of money, life lesson, you should stop playing.
And I was like, I need to play more and
try to win back life lesson when you're out of money,
you should stop playing. Because what we would do is
we would play cards all night, not go to sleep,
and then go to yard sales all around town. She
had mapped out where to go. Good quality of time together.
I like this a lot. It was just overnight and gambling.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
So and then wake up real early because you got garage.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
No, not even waking up, you just stay out, just
stay up, because she wanted to get to the garage
sales as soon as the sun started going out, because
you wanted the first pickings.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
That's the good stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
So I remember once I had no money and I
had my favorite cups hat and I was like, I
want to how much is this worth? And she was like,
I don't want you to gamble your cups at And
I was like, no, I want to trouble my money backs.
You saved up for that hat. It's your favorite hat.
I don't want you to gamble the cubs hat. I said,
I really want to. She goes, okay, I think she
picked a number arbitrarily said like three bucks, four bucks.
She had me four bucks. She took the cubs hat.

(32:07):
She then took my four dollars. I never got the
Cubs hat back.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
I never.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
She never, She didn't leave it in a will.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
She still had it wherever it is.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Her life lesson to me was don't gamble what stuff
you can't lose. And I remember that so vividly losing it,
being so upset, like just give it back, I want it.
I never saw it again.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
She probably saw the foreshadow of like you being an
older man and being like, here's my winning ring.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
How much can I get for this in Vegas?

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Or she's pawned the Cubs hat so she could play bingo. Yeah, yeah,
so I appreciate that from her. I didn't at the time.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, that's a good lesson.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
It's like my kids now, like if they gamble, because
they love to say, like I bet you he'll hit
a home run right here. I be like, you can't
just say that, Like if you say I'll bet you
and there's a dollar amount, it's got to be paid,
and they do it, and now they say it less,
but they still do it. I bet you two bucks,
this is going to happen, Okay, and doesn't happen, they pay,
or if they.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Don't have the money.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
No, they have to have the cash before they make
the bet.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yes, you don't send like the lone Shark out to
take out their knees.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
That's the real lest thing.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
You have to break a finger just to show them
in life, this is what happens when you don't pay.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Will happen?

Speaker 4 (33:17):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to
the Bobby Cast.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I got two more headlines here. So Maara Higgins, she's famous.
I didn't know her either, because the stuff that she
does I'm not super familiar with. She was on Love Island,
which I've never watched, and then The Traders, which I've
not watched. Familiar with either of those shows.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I've heard of them, but you never watched them.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
So I think she finished second on The Traders because
I've only seen clips. I think that dude beat her
and then bought her a purse. I'm pretty sure this
is her. But they've cast her on Dancing with the Stars.
I think they've announced two or three of the people
for the upcoming season. It's like a slow roll announcement. Yeah,
they'll do one, maybe two. Last season they announced Alex
earle Way early, then somebody else A little closer, and

(34:07):
then they do the whole announcement.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Am I right on her mic?

Speaker 5 (34:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Run her up?

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Okay. So she's been announced that she's going to be
on the cast, and they went to her in a
red carpet interview and they said, hey, you're gonna be
a Dancing with the Stars, you know, do you know
how to dance? Do you have any training? Are you
going to start now? And she said she doesn't know
how to dance. She says any training, and she is
really not gonna do anything to get ready. She wants

(34:31):
to be a blank canvas. She goes, She's been advised
to be a blank canvas when you get there, and
it'll be better for you. I'd like to say, as
somebody who won that show, Yeah, that's terrible advice. It's
the worst advice ever. I was a blank canvas and
I don't know. You may look and see if she
has any like dance history at all, like cheerleading, even
competitive dance, any kind of dance experience. If I could

(34:51):
go back in time, because they asked me to do
the show because I was on American Idol, I had
done I guess one season. I was coming back for
a second season as like the official mentor. So I
was on every episode and Ryan had just started doing
Ryan Seacrest, Ryan and Kelly in New York, and so

(35:13):
there was he couldn't get back for as many shoots.
I was filling in for a lot of that stuff
with the contestants. So I had a prominent role, but
a lot of it was because they needed someone to
also supplement when Ryan couldn't be back, and then also
it was if Ryan's sick, because that happened once I
had to host the show, because I think there have
been three hosts of that show ever, me for one episode,
Seacrest and Nunckleman.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Wow back in the day.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
So ABC's like, hey, you want to do the show
Dance with the Stars, And I was like, I don't
think so. I don't know how to dance. And they're like,
no problem, to be kicked off in four weeks because
everybody gets.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Through one week and don't worry about it. Usually that's
what I said.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
You'll be off for about four weeks and then usually
the old people fall because they have like ant hip
injuries and stuff. Wow, that's crazy, and so I was like, Okay,
I don't really know what I was doing. I especially
didn't know how to dance. But if ABC, my boss
on the television side, wanted me to do it, I
was for sure going to do it. So I agree
to it, and then I just kept working. Did I
don't do in the radio show touring, I do anything

(36:07):
until it was time, until the day that they came here,
because they come to you at first, and you meet
your partner. And so when Sharna was here and I
met her, I'd know no understanding even of ballroom dance,
because it's all ballroom dance. My advice would be, might
you see any dance experience at all?

Speaker 5 (36:24):
She was a young kid. She did some Irish dancing, so.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Maybe she has a slight Is that a category in
a little ballet? But she was really young.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Oh okay, so there's possibly, As your people would say,
who muscle minos, YESO experience everything's your people. I love it,
So there maybe a little in there. If I could
go back, I would not go in blank canvas. I
would at least learn the fundamentals. I want to learn

(36:55):
too much. I didn't even know what an eight count was,
or that even went on eight counts. I don't even
know what it is same. And I remember getting there
and Sharna being Okay, we're going to do this to
an eight count.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, what's an eight count? I get what post account
of eight? But what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah that, and then if you're not in shape like different,
I could run, I can lift.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, you were in shape.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's dance shape is a whole different animal, because you'd
be twining four to six hours a day for me,
even longer than that because so far behind, and because
of what you're doing on your feet at that pace
for so long, your calves, strain, your back, your neck,
it's all things you don't think about. It is not
as intense as doing sprints for forty five minutes or
an hour, but overall through the day it's way more intense.

(37:42):
And I remember having to get people to come and
just like hire people to give me massages because it
was hurting so bad and I was in really good shape.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Gosh, you don't realize. So she ain't gonna see this.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
But Maria Higgins, if you're watching this and you're going
in as blank slate, you got to get yourself in
dance shape so you can then learn more because there's
only so much like to put on you if your
body doesn't allow you to learn it. And then two
you probably have the fundamental understanding of accounts if she
has some experience at all. But anybody doing that show,
don't go in blank. At least go in getting ready

(38:13):
physically and knowing what you don't know. That would help
you tremendously.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
And this comes from a former champ, So yeah, former
former Dancing with the Stars champion.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Controversial.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Please tell me that you told whoever told you was
only going to be four weeks and you're gone. Please
tell me, like every week you're like four weeks huh No.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Mostly after every week I was like, I'm.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Still on huh Wow, four weeks, looks like we're at six.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
I was never in the bottom three, and I just
kept waiting to get put in the bottom three. But
I was never in the bottom three. And they don't
tell you how you're doing with the fan vote ever. Really,
it is not something that's shared. And so I would
dance and get mostly sevens.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah whatever the judge would say.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
There maybe a six occasionally, maybe an eight occasionally, but
mostly sevens. If I had to look back, it's probably
my average score is probably in the sevenths, where other
people were eight and nine, the sill got tens. I
was never that. But after the show was all the
way over because there are like legalities to favoring people
in a competition where there's money. There were like game

(39:18):
show rules because of them catching people cheating a game
shows back in the fifties and sixties, so they can't
tell you anything, they can't show you anything favorable. At
the end, after it was over, they came to me
and they said, your fan boat was so high you
probably could have just taken it, say the word dump
dump on the floor and walked off and still won.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
Wow, which was crazy. I had no idea. I didn't
know as the time, and I mean I worked.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Everybody works hard. You don't last on the show without
working hard. But I was so far behind. I think
I can confidently say I outworked everybody by far, because
I was so bad if I think about it, gone
and even I wouldn't because I was doing two other jobs.
Is it the same time?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Oh yeah, man, you were so busy then.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
So so when she says I've been advised to just
be a blank canvas, who is she being advised by
her pro No?

Speaker 2 (40:11):
No, does she know who her pro is?

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Probably not, so she probably doesn't know her pro and
probably just people who've done show because the show has
been around thirty five seas.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Okay, but you're not advising that, so no, I'm advising.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
I would advise Okay, if she has a little bit
of dance experience, a little bit of ballet, a little
bit of an Irish Irish Irish folk or whatever it is,
that's great. She probably has the understanding physically I would
start dancing, because it's like wanting to run a marathon
but not on marathon day but no training beforehand, Like
could you really go out and do it?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
If you just push yourself through it? Yep?

Speaker 1 (40:44):
But day two is going to be terriblecause you're gonna
be hurting so bad, right, even if you're in decent shape.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
So that's all, Okay. Do the rest of the rest
of the people that are not announced are they do?
They know?

Speaker 2 (40:53):
They admit it at this point.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Let's see, it's basically May June, July or probably not
all I would assume right now. There's there's probably half
the cast that knows some that has told them. Do
they really want?

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:12):
I probably can, but give me a little time. And
some they've told, hey, we we can't confirm you yet,
but hopefully we'll be able to confirm you soon, depending
on they don't say this, depending on who accepts. But
that show's just popped off like crazy again.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Yeah, Like it's funny too, because like when I go
back home and I see family or whatever, and they're just.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Like, oh my gosh, I love Bobby Bones. I love
that you work with Bobby Bones.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
Like and it's always different, right, like oh I love
the radio show, or I love you know, Dancing with
the Stars.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
I love Dancing with a store.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
A lot of people, I say, the majority of them
older ladies like Bobby.

Speaker 2 (41:47):
From Dancing with the Stars. When you see him, tell
them I rooted it so hard for him to win,
and I'm so glad he won the championship.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
I mean it's been seven years or something. Still remember
and the people that come up to me still about
that seaton Because unless there's something for me to talk
about with it, I don't normally talk about it because
I don't want to be just playing the same hit
over and over again.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
Right that has been I don't want I don't want
to be We did a one hit Wonder episode. You know,
I got more hits to play. I don't that.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Song, you do?

Speaker 2 (42:17):
But I love talking about it.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
But it's wild this many years later that people will
come up still so lit up about it.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Yeah, and remember it.

Speaker 3 (42:27):
It's got to be a feeling because like I was
thinking of, like you know, when I don't think somebody
was interviewing Matthew Brodick talking about, you know, Ferris Bueller's
day Off and they're like.

Speaker 2 (42:35):
When you see that movie, what do you think of?

Speaker 3 (42:37):
And to Ferris Bueller or to Matthew Broderick, it's got
to be a glimpse in his career.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Like I don't know. It was how many months?

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Two months of us just shooting it and then promoting
it and that's it. And I've done so many other things,
but people want to talk about that one thing that
they remember you from. I feel like with Dance with
the Stars, that was such a just a little part
of your life.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yeah, it was all in.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Six months. Yeah, very hard six months, not just for
the dancing but for the Again, I think I was
the only one working a full time job at the
same time. But also it's not like you know, I
was Holling Hay or you were dancing, though, Man, I was,
and I was doing a radio show five six hours
and I was traveling. I was touring doing stand up.
It was very hard and physically it was hard because

(43:22):
of the show it's but it was six months. But
I remember there were a couple of people that told
me leading into it because I thought about not doing
it because I thought at the time, I don't want
to do this show because my association. Because I'd never
seen the show as far as I watched it with
any regularity, obviously, I knew the show is pop culture phenomena.
When it launched and they announced the people every year,
I'll be like, man, I don't want to be like

(43:44):
somebody that goes on a show because there has been
and like it's their last, you know, cling to fame.
And I had a couple of friends that were like, well,
you never have been, so you don't worry about that
it has been you never had Yeah, I can't go down.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Well I was like, yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
But I remember Drew Scott, one of the oh yeah,
Property Brothers, the Property Brothers, he had done it and
I'd asked him, we're playing softball game together and you're
not supposed to share you sign an NDA, but they
do say you can talk about it if you talk
about it with the old cast member, like to ask advice,
that's fine, that's all. Drew Scott and I said, hey,
you did the show and he was like, dude, you
have to do it. I said, but for you, like,

(44:25):
were you good at He goes, no, look at me.
He's tall and gangly and he goes, I didn't know
what I was doing. He said, you have to do it.
And so to see another like goofy white, dude, be like,
you have to do it. And then Charlotte and the
God on the Breakfast Club in New York, one of
my really close friends. I was like, I don't want
to be has been and he didn't hit me with
the way you never have Bence, so don't worry about it.
But he was saying, hey, look at the people though

(44:47):
that are on the come up that have done it.
Kim Kardashian, Zendaya, Wendy Will.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
There's just all these people and themists there and he
was like, that wasn't the headline because they were still
on the come up.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
So the headline is always like Vanilla Ice. Yeah, you
know Paul McCartney's Mailman.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
All the way Back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yeah, So that's what makes the news, not the people
that are on the way up, because that's not the news.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
It's another really good point. Yeah, so I did.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
It, but think thanks to their advices, Mara, you got
get yourself a dancing shape and you may be good
on the fundamentals. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
This is the Bobby Cast.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
And then finally, something we talked about last week, the
Michael Jackson movie Michael, which we didn't see, but Mikey
did see it and you really liked it.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
Yeah, it's pretty good as far as music biopics go.
I think of the ones that have come out recently,
like Elvis and the Bob Dylan and the Bruce Springstey movie,
it's the best one.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
So did he say biopics? Biopic? What is it a
biopic or biopic?

Speaker 1 (45:51):
The word looks like biock, but it's biopick because it's
a like a biology.

Speaker 3 (45:56):
Pick no biography, biography, biology pick biological biology.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
That's true. So close though, those so close together. So
he liked it.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
I'll watch it. The controversy though, was they didn't put
any of his controversies in correct. But the reason was
it cut off at a certain year before the controversy. Ye,
was that to you something that was very apparent in
the movie or did it just feel like it ended
at a time they wanted to end.

Speaker 5 (46:25):
Yeah, it didn't feel incomplete to me at the time
that they chose to end it. I was like, that
makes sense. It's not like it felt like, oh wait,
they didn't talk about that.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
It felt right.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
The top grossing music biopics of all time? Ooh interesting,
and now I have the list.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
I have the top ten. I'm curious to see how
many you can name.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
Man, this is tough. I can name a lot of them.
But I wonder, like top grossing, I wonder if Ray
was one of the top grossing.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
At number nine.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Ray Now that you're on though, Ray was awesome.

Speaker 2 (46:59):
By the way, Ray was one of my favorites.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Because my son was asking me about he loves movies,
and he was asking about the Michael Jackson one, and
I said, he said, what are are some other good ones?
Because he's seen Bohemian Rhapsody. He's like, ah, that was okay, whatever,
he's like one of some good ones. And I said, Ray,
you have to watch Ray.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Ray's really good. And then I love the Johnny cash one.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Walked the Line, Walked the Line at number six, one
hundred and eighty six point eight million, also great, Yeah,
Walking Phoenix and reach Weatherspoon.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Uh, newer but really good.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Elvis Elvis number two, two hundred and eighty eight point
seven million. I didn't much like that really, you know,
it felt too spacey and goofy.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
It was definitely different. And that's the director's style. Yeah,
that's his style.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. Austin Butler was great in it.
I watched it. I just thought the Tom Hanks character.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Was Colonel Tom average fresh.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
It felt like an impression of somebody doing an impression
of somebody.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Yeah. Yeah, makeup was weird, cute, Yeah yeah, that wasn't
really weird.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
That threw me off so much. I really couldn't enjoy
the history. Okay, you got three so far out of ten?

Speaker 2 (48:08):
Okay, what about Bohemian Rhapsody.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Number one, nine hundred and ten million dollars.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Wow, you know, I've never seen it. I've never seen it.
It's good, and I think it's good.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
It's really good. If you're casual, it's pretty good. If
you're a real music fan, like if you like you
enjoy studying like the history of music. Yeah, which we do.
I think you'll like it. I think your kids will
like it. And and Rammy Mallock is really good in it.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Yeah, so you do all the singing. No, remember we
had the guy on our shows, that kid, Yes, Martinelle
Martel guy. Yeah, he's so good. Sounds just like Freddie Mercury.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
So number one, nine hundred ten million is bahinon raapside
number two Elvis. Number three is Michael already at two
hundred and seven point three million.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Already, that's a lot a lot of money, right, movie,
that's a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Mike does a movie podcast, by the way, why he
knows this though, So that's top three at six walk.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
The line at nine?

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Ray what else you got?

Speaker 2 (49:09):
La Bamba didn't make it? Oh?

Speaker 1 (49:13):
I know.

Speaker 2 (49:13):
I was going on a limb there, But it's one strike,
you get two more strikes. Okay.

Speaker 3 (49:21):
Man, there's some other really trying to think of, like
who are some of the Selena Come on? Can that's
another that's another big swing.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
I don't know what number ten is and it's not Selena.
I think it's kind of from your people.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Okay, what is ten? As my people say, Levi and Rose?
Oh no, Leve and Rose. No, that's got to be
like French or something. But who's the artist? Is that
the artist?

Speaker 1 (49:54):
I don't know. It's number ten. It made eighty seven
million dollars.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
Whoa it's French?

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Oh say my people your opinion?

Speaker 3 (50:02):
As your people would say, Man, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
What is that, Mike? What is that about? Levi n Rose?

Speaker 5 (50:10):
It is the tumultuous life of French singer the Edith Poff.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I don't know Edith Poff is.

Speaker 1 (50:17):
I don't know a microphone on so they can hear you. Okay, good,
that's making sure Edith. Yeah, okay, so we have you
got one more strike?

Speaker 2 (50:24):
This is my last one.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yeah, I can give you a hand of Oh oh,
I'm neglecting the hip hop world. I think that eight
mile not a biopic?

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Not a biopic? Okay, I wasn't gonna say a mile
just kidding. I know you weren't. Although eight miles is
so good? What about what's it? You got it? Compton
straight out of content.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
Number four two and one million dollars, So there are three.
You haven't got one of them. I know you've seen
and you love the artist. I don't care for the
artist at all. I don't like the artist, but I
don't like this is not my music.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
Jimmy Buffett doesn't have a biopic, but you're in the
you're in the right ballpark.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Ish. Oh, Bob Marley, Bob Marley. Yeah, Bob Marley one
Love one hundred eighty one million dollars.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
I'm a fan of that one. But you love Bob Marley.
Love Bob Marley. The movie to me was just fluff movie.
Mike shit, Yeah, not very good. It made a hundred
eighty one million y I think we all saw it.
They got us there.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
That's the thing about music biopicks. They still get you
to pay your money to go see it, even if
it's a bad movie.

Speaker 3 (51:25):
Yeah, because I bought it, you know, like when you
can stream it, you're like buy it, an it, I'm

really a term, but I think for sure you've seen
number eight. It's come out in the last couple of
few years.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Okay, so I wasn't gonna ask.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
The one was probably in the last five to seven years.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Okay, so they're all pretty recent. They're both pretty recent. Man,
is it walk Hard do the Dewey Cock story?

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Not a real biopick, but excellent, good one, dude, excellent.
That one is so underappreciated for how funny that freaking
movie is.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
You don't want this doing walk Away? It's not addicted, man.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Give me a hint, like, okay, number five making one

Speaker 1 (52:58):
And number eight it happened the last couple of years.
It's an artist you really like. It's an artist that
I just kind of like, huh, but you really like them.
I can appreciate their value to music. Not really my favorite. Uh.
We both seen them a concert, probably not together. I've

(53:19):
seen this person in a concert. This person is it
Bob Dylan? Is Bob Dylan? I complete on forty million dollars?

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Yeah? Did you like that movie? It's pretty good? Yeah,
I liked it. I enjoyed. I enjoyed it for what
it was.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
I didn't know that it was only going to be
that period of his life where he was going from
folk singer to electric which was a huge part of
his life. But I just thought it was going to
be more than that. So I liked it for what
it was. I thought it was gonna be something else.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Those are your top all time.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
I just was crazy.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Michael Jackson's already over two hundred million dollars already and
