Speaker 1 (00:11):
Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. A few things we're
going to talk about. Number one, things people once believed
that sound crazy today, and then things we're doing today
that also I think will sound crazy in twenty years
from now. Also, we're going to talk about Instagram Plus,
which is a new new thing to spend money on,
(00:32):
and a couple movie reviews from Mike d So Eddie's here.
What's up? Are you gonna get Instagram Plus?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't even know what that is. I mean, I'm
still hesitant to get on threads. It keeps trying to
keeps trying to give me to get on threads.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I'm like, I don't know, you don't trust it. I
don't know if I want to do that? Yes? What is?
What is Instagram Plus? First? Can we talk threads for
a second? Okay? Threads is just like the safer it
YouTube kids for Twitter?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Really well, there's Twitter that's a safer Twitter.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's like a nicer, gentler Twitter.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You know what I think it is. I think it's
the way it asks. It always says like Bobby's on threads,
like do you.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Want to get on threads? If it didn't do that,
I'd be like Okay, I'll give it a shot, don't
you Sometimes do see like the little Threads teases, Yeah,
and they cut it off at the next word that
you want, and so you hit it and it opens it. Yes,
you're kind of already on threads.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, because I can't watch that video. They'll only give
me the little teaser.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
But if you click into it and.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Then it says like join Threads, it gives me the
whole black screen with click the button to join, and
I'm like, oh, that's where it stops me there. It's
almost like when you buy something or you're gonna buy something,
and it's like.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Are you sure you want to buy it? You're like, ooh,
I am I sure. I don't know. So your Threads account
already exists, then you just haven't activated it because it's
the same exact account. I guess. So on Instagram, I
guess there's really nothing on threads.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So, so what do you put on Threads?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Only my Instagram posts go on Threads. And every once
in a while I'll be lured in by the teasers
on Instagram and so I click in to see and
then I'll go, oh, threads, and then I scroll through
and it's a very water down, safer version of Twitter.
But when I want Twitter action, like I'm going into
the alley to fight. I don't go into the alley
(02:21):
to hang out and have a good time. Like, if
you're going into the alley, you're going to the alley
to fight. That's what Twitter is.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, Twitter is interesting like Twitter. If there's a cop
in my neighborhood, I go to Twitter because the cops
will usually kind of like update, like, ooh, working a
thing in this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Stay away. Twitter is the garbage can outside the house
if you're doing investigating on someone, Like it's gross, but
there's real stuff there. Yeah, what do you use? Sports?
Sports and news? And then I just kind of watch
fights like but it sucks, but it's also awesome. So
(02:53):
Instagram is launching Instagram Plus. So here's what you can
get for three ninety nine a month on Instagram plus.
Anonymous story viewing. What does that mean? So you know
what to watch your story and you see the little
head on the bottom yes, and you see who looked
at your stories. So this is look for people that
are up to know good.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So people that want to like see a story but
don't want to let everyone know that they.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Watch that story. Mm hm. That's interesting, Like you want
to check out an excess story or a rival story,
So I'm good there. You can get anonymous story viewing.
I mean, that's probably the feature that is going to
get the most attention online. Yeah, is that you can
see story rewatches. So if you put up a story,
(03:38):
you're gonna see who watches your story. But it's also
going to let you see people that went back and
rewatched your story. And one you can see who's like
super obsessed with you or the reality is it's probably
people who are just watching content that was so good
they wanted to watch it twice. So it lets you
know that's the kind of content that's working.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, I do like that. Another one is unlimited story
audience lists. So you have an option to have close friends.
That's a little green circle that pops up and so
you can show just your close friends things. But you
can have other lists as well, So you could have
people from the Bobby cast, work, people from back home Okay,
(04:23):
so you could do those kind of lists.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You could do extension of stories from twenty four hours
because right now stories last twenty four hours, but I'm
kind of just be in my garbage up anyway, Like
if it was worth it, I don't know that it
deserves to live longer than twenty four hours. So you
can do that with extended stories. There's a story Spotlight
once a week you can boost a story so it
(04:48):
appears prominently to more followers. So you got one of
those week. You can search your viewer lists, so if
people are watching your stories, you really can't go through
and type into a magnifying glas to see who. You
have to hopefully catch them right when they watch. See
is that the order whoever watched last is probably number
one on the list. Yeah, for the most part. Okay,
(05:09):
sometimes blue check marks will pop up into mind and
then fade back out if the blue check marks watched it.
But with this, you actually can search the viewer list.
You can post without showing up in your followers feeds.
So let's say you wanted to post something. I'm gonna
give a perfect example of something that was hilarious to me.
You had posted a picture once holding a banana and
(05:30):
I think two oranges. That's two boiled eggs. Okay, two
boiled eggs. I think you get the point here. You
didn't mean to post it as a wiener with testicles, no,
but when you held it up, it looked like a
wiener with testical.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It looked like I was trying to be funny with
a wiener and testing.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Was that your intention? No? No, no.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And my wife's the one that pointed it out. She
was just like, what why do you do that? And
I'm like, do what?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So if your wife had an account and you knew
you were going to post that, and you're like, I
don't know, not this not pop up in her feed?
It still exists if she goes to your feed, so
you can make sure it doesn't pop up in her feed. Okay,
so you're Eggs and Banana would only go to everybody else's.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
There are even things too that we talk about on
the show where you're like, I'd rather them not hear this.
It's a funny story, but I'd rather them not hear this,
so you can pick them.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
There's an extra profile customization, more profile pins, custom apps.
I don't know. They're super hearts and super likes. Oh wow,
Like I really really like it. Animated reactions for stories.
It's mostly cosmetic and so that is three ninety nine
a month right now. I tried to go over because
I saw the guy who kind of looks like me
that talks about Instagram. Are guts familiar with them?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, I'm not convinced he's a real person.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He's like very likable and pops up on feeds. No, No,
he's a real person. Well is he?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Is?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
He not a he's supposed to be a real person. Huh,
he is a real person. Mike's being funny mostly, I think,
but he is like the head promotion for Metaka and
he kind of looks like me, glasses of curly here,
it's safe looking, and he's like, hey, everybody to answer
some questions. I like him. He's like anti Zuckerberg, where
(07:03):
Zuckerberg is kind of weird, and you know, he's smarter
than the room and who knows what diabolical things he
has in his mind? Yeah, it looks like, yes, he's diabolical.
This guy looks like he's just up to good. Okay,
they picked the right guy for trust him. Yeah. His
name's like Moe Adam oh Adam moost Aria. Is he
a real guy?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, he's presented as a real guy. Yeah, but yes,
he's a real human him down. Yeah. So he came
on and was talking about this what I did all
the research into it, and I still haven't seen where
I can get it though, Mike and your accounts, have
you seen where you can subscribe to it? Yeah? I
saw his video, so as soon as he said, I
(07:45):
wanted to see how you would subscribe for it for
three ninety nine? Are you gonna do it? Probably because
I just want to watch people stories. That's knowing. That's
the main one. Watch and watch your story so many times?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Hey, on that topic, what who is some one that
you've seen watch your story and you're like, wow, I
never would expect them to watch my story.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't know that I have a good answer on that,
because but she follows me, and she only occasionally comments
would be somebody like Carrie Underwood, because I don't think.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
She's a good one.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
She's that active. Yeah, so when I see her watching
a story she probably had. She didn't seek me out,
but she follows me, so I'm on her top bubbles. Yeah,
so she's probably just rolling through them at four pm.
I mean that's a lot. When I see a carry one,
I'm like, oh, that's funny. Carry and was watching my
story and then I'm like, hey, my story was garbage,
Carrie Anderwood, just watch my garbage story. I wish I
(08:36):
would have had a better one. I know.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I had Cane Brown in one, and I'm like, that's crazy.
Like he saw my face and was like, let me
see what Edie's up to or.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You posted and he just having to roll through them
in order up on the top. Yeah, because I can't
imagine Carrie saw my face and thought, let's do what
Bobby's up to.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, right, But I mean at the same time, like
if they've never clicked on your face, it's never going
to pop up on the first ten and the last followers.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That they're not following many people, and their follower the
people they're following aren't posting many stories. True, it's only
two you and me. I don't want to take that
away from you. Kane definitely saw your face and was like,
let's see what's up. I thought that was cool.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Kelsey valerinium like, well, that's crazy, Like Kelsey just clicked
on my face and see what Eddi's up to.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
There are people who have me on their close friends list.
I shouldn't be on their close friends list. That's interesting.
All of a sudden, it'll pop up and the green
circle is around it, and then I think I'm considered
they're a close friend to them, I barely want to
follow them. You're like, gosh, I don't consider them man
(09:38):
close at all. So I'll click the green and I'll
watch it, and then I just think, do they like
me more than I like them? Yeah? Or did they
put everyone on their close friends list as they follow?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's what I think it is, because I mean, how
many people do you do close friends posts?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I have a close friends list, but do you post
on it?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Because I don't think I've ever gotten one of yours,
very very rare, which is now making me think I'm
not on your list.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No, my list is different. I have one close friend's
list and it's only for people that played pickleball that
I could say, hey, do you guys want to play today?
So instead of sending a group text, I would send
a group Instagram story and go, hey, if anyone wants
to play at two pm today? And there's like eleven
people on that list, and if they did, they would
just respond okay.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So now with Instagram plus that can be your pickleball list.
You can have a different close friends list, which is
like family.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The problem was, though I would see people look at
it and not respond because there are only eleven people
on the list total. I'd be respond right, So then
I get mad. Yeah, yeah, that can be dangerous. Yeah,
so I'll probably subscribe to this just because social media
is a big part of what I do. And I
was watching Adam what's his name, and he was talking
(10:57):
about how it will not affect you if you don't
abscribe to it, meaning everybody's the same. I just think
of Animal Farm when people say that that George Orwell
book where all the animals are equal. Some are just
a little more equal than others, which means they're actually
not equal. So I think if you buy this, your
stuff will probably be promoted, sure, because they like paying customers.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But he's not going to say that.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
No, they're going to say everyone's equal. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
It's kind of weird, a weird business model to say like, hey,
you know, you can buy it, but even if you don't,
you're not going to be any different.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You're not going to get the features of super likes, right, Yeah,
Like they are listing actual features that you're going to get.
But I do feel that if you do this, they
probably favor you because you're spending money with him, even
to just share. It's a good point, like that would
be my thought. So and you love data too, Yeah,
big data guy, Big data guy. Love data Fridays. It's
(11:51):
a Mike d and I thing Fridays. Yeah, you guys
call each other and all right, let's share the data.
I wake up. I know there's a bunch of data
in my lap. You guys are talking data. Earlier today
we were I was frustrated at a week's worth of data,
and then we were evaluating how we can make it better. Yeah,
and our solution was Superkes. We're gonna we're gonna invest
in Superkes. Okay. So that's number one, Okay, number two.
(12:16):
There are now a list of bands that are considered
dad rock not classic rock. There is a difference in
classic rock, which would be bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith,
Van Halen. Sure that's classic rock. That was classic rock
when we were kids listening to classic rock radio. There's
classic and now there's dad rock. Can you name me
five dad rock bands.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm gonna go with, probably like Goo Goo Dolls.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Gooo Dolls would be a dad rock band. Yeah, I
love Googoo Dolls. Guess what, I'm your dad. We're both dads.
We both like Goo Goo Dolls. Man's Pearl Jam a
dad for sure. A dad rock band. Yeah. Mostly it's
just bands we like. I know that we liked as kids,
and so I have the top dad rock band number
one of those not on the lists. No, but this
(13:04):
list is kind of stupid, Okay. I think it's just
any anyone that was born in the late seventies or
all the way up to the mid to late eighties,
that's us. If you had a band as a kid
that you loved that played with the guitar. I had guitars,
I think that's dad rock. That's it. The number one
dad rock band is Blank one eighty two. Oh yeah,
(13:24):
I don't know, though. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
One time I went to Starbucks and there was a
guy I would think he was in his late twenties,
maybe early thirties, and I had my phone out, like
I was just sitting on top of the counter and
it was Blank wenty two on the like had just
been played or whatever, and he goes, dude, were you
just listening to Blink twenty two. I'm like, yeah, that's awesome,
(13:47):
And I'm like, okay, is this a young guy being like, hey, respect,
dad's listening to Blank twenty two? But I thought that
Blank Waity two was our music, not a twenty eight
year olds.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wouldn't that be the same if we were young We
saw someone listening to Fleetwood Mac and we had just
gotten into Fleetwood Mac because we had those bands when
we were kids, the classic rock bands we saw. No
regardless of Fletwood Mac. We're like, oh you like Fluwood Mac,
me too, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Okay, so that's just like a baby okay, okay, a
bond between me and the Starbucks guy.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
But Blank one eighty two one dad band create it too.
I know you just don't like Creed. It's so bad.
It's crazy that you still feel that way after hearing
how good Scotts Stapp was. He played with our band,
He's sang with our band.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I would never say that they're that they are not talented,
or that Scott's Stap isn't talented.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The music is just bad bad. Creed's music is awesome
and it definitely defines a time. Yeah, a time. I
wasn't listening to that. But you also don't like Nickelback? No,
and I feel like they were together same time. You
don't like masculine guitar rock with masculine lyrics, like aggressive
(15:04):
masculine music, because I would say, you love pearl Jam
Pearlms not that aggressive.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
They're kind of whining rage against the machine.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I love it. That's a message. Okay, they're speaking against
government corruption. Yeah, protest. I do like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Who else would fall under a Creed Nickelback?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's not them too?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But but see, would you even put Creed a Nickelback
on the same kind of Oh yeah, like same sound
because they have different One was a little more pop,
the Nickelback was more popish.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I think you're insane. I think they're the same. Give
photograph like that's not They both were massive pop artists.
I would say they're the same. I enjoy them both.
You too, you love both of them. I think if
I had to pick one that was better, I'd probably
go with Creed because they're American. Uh huh, yeah, there
we go. And also, Scott Yapp played with us at
(15:56):
our show.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
We kind of know him and he was He's that amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He sounded so good. He sounded great.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I remember it was so it's like so embarrassed because
I really I never listened to Creed, didn't like Creed,
but playing with Scott's staff on stage was really cool.
And then he comes up to me while he's singing
arms Wide Open and he puts the micro front of my.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Face like I want to sing the lyric, and I'm like,
I don't know the lyric, dude. The fact that you
didn't know the lyric to arms Wide Open, I was like,
I don't know that lyric. Creed is so good. Hire
my sacrifice with arms wide Open? My own prison? What
if one?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I mean, which one is colders in session?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Jerry? Yeah, and I said, yeah, prison jam. The verdict
is in. No one was on the dock in today.
It just my own sins.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Do you remember when him and Eddie Vedder fought in
MTV Celebrity Death Match.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, they were like every time they they didn't make
that sound. I think you should explain what celebrity death matches,
oh man, Celebrity death match was so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It was when MTV would do an animated boxing match
between two rivals.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
They look like clamation animated claymation. It was so bad.
But I don't even remember who won that fight. I
don't think it was a real fight. Don't it matters,
it's a record. Uh, Celebrity death Match was cool. Do
you remember any fights? I remember watching it because it
came on around Jackass or Tom Green. Yeah. Yeah, that's
why I think I watched it. I hung around to
watch it. Uh yeah, So Creed, Fallout Boys now considered
(17:34):
dad rock, and that's Crazy Food Fighters, Green Day, Incubus, Corn,
Lincoln Park, The Offspring, Wheezer. Yeah. Then you got to
put Limp Biscuit in there too, You have to. That's
dad rock. But Limp Biscuit was around that time of
Nickelback and Creed. Yeah, because Fred Durst I think, and
Scott Stapp got into it the Celebrity death Match, but
I think they had a real battle. Yeah. Yeah, See
(17:57):
I liked Limp Biscuit because they sounded unique. But they
were corn derivative? Oh? Were they definitely unique? Did corn
rap so iking sounds but you don't think that's a
great corn impression? Yeah? No, that was great. But did
they rap? Because like my friend, can you do a
(18:18):
corn song? Mmm?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Freaking leash, something like a freaking.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Kind of talkie singing yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Something tics ubt of.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Men without the did they launch limp Biscuit? Did did
they did corn? Like bring limp Biscuit onto t R
L or something? I don't think limp Biscuit exists without Corn,
but I don't know if one of them actually, oh,
it's a yes, corn being their dad in my mind,
(18:52):
but I like than I did. Oh yeah, Corn was
a little too hard for me and fred Derschwar's hat
backward and they did a George Michael song. So okay,
dad bands and dad rock. It's not quite classic rock,
but it is a generation. You know what's cool? And
you're you're a newish dad, right, I mean pretty you're
a new dad. But what's cool about.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
The influence we have on our kids is going to
be music. Like our kids are gonna think whatever we
listen to, not even what we like tell them is cool,
but whatever they listen to when they're right in the
back of the car and they will automatically just be like, oh, yeah,
my dad listened to that. I like that stuff, you know,
I see it now. Like even my seven year old
(19:33):
is like just singing like butter Man. I'm like, where'd
you hear that? He's like, oh, I just heard it
from years of right in the back sea playing pearl
Jam and he loves it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
My wife does not like when I play NonStop Counting
Crows with the baby in the car, but I'm telling you,
your baby's gonna love it. I hope so well. I'm
really rooting for that County Coast tattoo. I wanted to
grow up and get a County Coroast tattoo. We get
one together, which one? And do you want it? Like
the ink of the first album, Yeah, kind of sloppy with.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
The oh yeah, hang ty, The Bobby Cast will be
right back. Wow, And we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Ten things that people once believed that sound completely crazy
now and so I'm going to give you these, and
eventually we're going to get over to things that are
happening now that I think we're going to look back
at and go, I can't believe we were doing that.
So here we go. At number one, the smoking was
actually healthy. Oh that's crazy. Doctors literally appeared in cigarette
(20:35):
ads on television. Some brands claimed that cigarette soothed your throat.
Improved digestion. Yes, helped you lose weight. Hospitals even handle
them out to patience. That is insane. Now, there was
a lot of data that they knew they did not
share with us, meaning the cigarette companies obviously, especially when
(20:55):
it comes to nicotine. But it's crazy to think now
what we know that was happening then.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm telling you, I was listening to an old Christmas
special from like nineteen forty It was like an old
radio Christmas special in nineteen forty five Bing Crosby was
hosted or whatever, and they tossed it to commercial And
this podcast that I was listening to had the old
commercials in it, and one of them was just camel cigarettes.
And a doctor is like, Hi, I'm doctor so and
so He's literally said i'd recommend and says the.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
New menthol camel. The doctor recommends you smoke at least
fifty a week, No way, at least fifty a week.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And it's good for your throats.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's that is crazy. The other that I have up
here at the top is that they did believe until
even the late seventies, some doctors that babies didn't feel pain.
Oh that's so sad. Yeah, until at the very latest
the early nineteen eighties. Many doctors believe that newborn's nervous
systems weren't developed enough to fully and truly experience pain.
(22:00):
Some surgeries were performed on babies with minimal or no
anesthesia no way, because they felt babies didn't feel. But
like you can just tell that babies feel. They cry
a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, Like I feel like if you slapped a baby,
they'd start crying.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Wild. Huh, that is wild. There was a time that
they thought seat belts were dangerous. Now maybe you've seen
on TikTok those old news stories where they're going around
and they're talking about seat belts or drinking and driving.
Have you seen those? Saw them like last a week.
So I'll give you the story. First, Most people resisted
seat belts because they believe that being thrown clear from
(22:40):
a vehicle was actually safer than the seat belts. That
if they got into a wreck, they wanted to throw
them out of the car instead of the seat belt
strangling them.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Today or being stuck in the car not being able
to get out.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, it turns out that's not a winning strategy, being
thrown from a car. There are a lot of winning
strategies that ain't won.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Maybe it was before jobs of life, you know, maybe
it was before they had that big machine that can
rip cars open.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Even then, the drinking and driving one, it's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So the video I saw, I think they were it
was the law to not drink and drive, like opening containers,
and they were saying, I mean, that's stupid. There's a
guy who's like, I mean, I worked all day. You're
telling me that I can't have a beer on the
way home from working. You know, like a man can
enjoy a beer.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
A man can't enjoy beer after a hard day's work
in his.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Car, right, And then and then he says, well, they
can do next? Make us wear seat belts, Yes they are, sir.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So that has been your infringing on our personal rights. Yeah,
and so seatbelts, beer, even schools doing immunizations at times,
you're in fringing on our person's rights. That's right, Like
we should have the ability to do this.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Man, My dad, when it became a lot and ought
to have to wear a seat belt, my dad was
so against it that he wouldn't wear it until he
saw a cop. And then when you see a cop,
he'd be like, oh crap, and then he put it on,
and then he would leave it on until the cop left,
and then he would take the strap that went over
the front and just tuck it behind him.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Is it because it was uncomfortable or he was anti
the system?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I think that the first one was anti system, you know.
And then he's like, this isn't coomfortable at all, which
is probably another reason why I didn't like it, and
so he would just put it behind him.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Wouldn't it be weird to get into a car now
and not put on a seat belt?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
So it's always weird, like I can't some of my kids,
they sit in the back seat and I have to
remind them put their seat belt on. But to me,
it's so natural, like it doesn't feel right to be
driving the car moving with no seat belt.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It feels like I'm butt naked on stage. Yeah, with
just the feeling of not having a seat belt on
me and driving. Even though you do remember not wearing
seat bel I do remember not wearing a seat belt
as a young, young kid. Because my grandma will drive,
I don't even know if her passenger seat had a
seatbelt in it. She had an old car, and I
don't even know that it had a seat belt. So, yeah,
there was a time in our life like we got that.
(24:55):
Of things are still a little crazy, Like we didn't
have the Internet when we were very young, then we
got it. We got both worlds in middle school a
little older than that.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
For me, I remember my friend Peppe. He had a
I mean, he was the first guy to have the
Internet that I knew, and I didn't understand when he
was trying to explain it. It's just like, oh, dude,
I can talk to anyone in the world, Like, but
you don't have a phone.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
He's like, it's all on the computer. I have to
have someone drop me off with the library and hot
springs just so I could get on the internet. And
I would get in chat rooms and a chat room.
It wasn't live chatting like now like a Java. It
was you write your message, you push send, and the
pageer just refreshes and everybody who posted a message you
didn't see it. Oh, it was like a message like
a message board that would refresh. Yeah, it was the
(25:38):
first chat rooms. I had a couple of chatroom girlfriends.
We'd send pictures and letters and stuff, real pictures, or
where you send pictures of someone else? What are you
trying to say? No, I mean, you know, send pictures
of someone else. Now I send pictures of myself. I'm rude.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You don't even know if they were sending you real
pictures of themselves. It is before scammers. But I would
have someone drop me off with the library and Hot Springs,
which is like thirty five to forty minutes away. It's
like fifteen. Maybe that's middle school for you. Our school
was just different. What's middle school age for you? Uh? Thirty? Well,
sixth grade is eighth grade. So we didn't have middle school.
(26:11):
We had elementary down on the bottom of the hill.
Kindergarten through sixth Junior high was seventh, eighth, and ninth.
Senior high was tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. But that was
all in one building. Oh wow, So middle school to
me is fourth, fifth, and sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Okay, okay, now, so it'd be your junior high, but
you were one year up. You were one year closer
to high school.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But I still think it is around the same time
for us. So when I said that my middle school
was different than yours, so you did.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So this was even before AOL, I never did.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Scotty. My neighbor got AOL and I would get on
his computer a lot and play either Yahoo Chess, or
I would get on AOL instant messenger and talk with people.
That was cool, That was cool. That was the craziest
thing to me, to really messenger and talk to people.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, until someone picked up the phone, went off the phone,
I'm online.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah. We got to have both. We got to have
no connection in all connection. Yeah, we're that rare age
that is still present enough to understand what's happening newly
with technology. But also we didn't have it as kids. Dude,
how about email still being a thing now? Yeah? What
do you mean? Like, I feel like email is so old,
(27:23):
so is the postal service though, and it's still a
thing like actual mail.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's a good play. But really who says letters? It's
normally just companies sending bills or like you know, well.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Package Yeah, yeah, because I guess now any package I send,
I send with ups or FedEx.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Like I think my mother in law is the only
person that sends a real letter. But but like email,
like think about like email was around the time those
refreshing chat rooms that you were saying, and like it's
so old school, like I'm going to send you an email,
you know, but like really that's how companies still survive.
Some people's jobs are just to check emails and respond
(28:00):
to emails.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I feel the email for me is more of a
regimented communication. Even with people that I work with or
we work together. If I need something fast, it's text, right.
If I just need you to know something and it's
after hours, and if you get to it, that's awesome.
But if you don't, I get it, it's an email.
(28:23):
I feel like email is just a layer of not
as immediate communication. I also feel also people I don't
know as well, right, And I also feel that people
like it because it has a paper trail, like if
it's gonna be email, it's gonna be official. There's always
a record of like I send you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
An email three years ago, and here it is at
eight forty five pm.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You know. I don't really clear out my emails, and
I just looked at mine I have and this is
not a lot, I don't think, But I don't ever
have any red dots. Like I read every email I
get and as soon as I get a junk email,
or a email selling me something. I unsubscribe to every
one of them. Oh really, Immediately I go to the
bottom and hit unsubscribed because I just don't want that
to turn into something else. And so I have one
(29:10):
hundred and ten thousand messages in my box? How do
I get rid of them?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I mean, is there a button where you can just
say delete all?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I wish I can do control a and then delete
all those But that's just for them that screen, Mike,
what do you know?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
I mean, depending on what email you're using, there is
a way you could just kill them all at once, like.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
A macmy email. I don't know. Yeah, that's what I have.
And so sometimes about once every year, I'll hit the
paper clip that's all attachments, and it'll list the biggest
attachments at the top, and I'll control a delete and
just delete the biggest file to clear your space yep,
and then I'll have to go to delete it and
(29:51):
delete them again. It's just so much of a process.
I just need like a kill switch, like all.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Can't you do like a select all?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Well, control a select all? You can only select us
on your screen? Oh, you can't do all.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
So there's an option where you can select all conversations.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But that's back and forth emails.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
No, it's just that's just what it's called.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay. An email is not called a conversation because it's
kind of what it is.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I guess so, and then everything from like if you
search like Walmart or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm gonna do it now, give it, give it. Okay.
So I'm gonna do I'm gonna do Eddie because.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We don't email, right, and everything is just like a
one I need this call.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
So I have all of Eddie here now if I
wanted to delete them all, and there's a lot of
videos because the only thing that he will usually send
me is an a video.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
It says, click the checkbox and the top left. There's
so I mean you do the you select all the emails.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Right, okay, control A got it?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
And then do you choose select all conversations?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I I okay, so I did all. It's all in
a control aid. Yeah. I don't see that option. Uh
oh bro, I don't know customer service. Well. No, I
feel like I'm pretty mm hm tech savvy. I'm pretty
technologically intelligent. There are times, though, where I start to
(31:21):
feel like those old people. They're like, ah, what is this.
I'll even have to go to Mic sometimes go what
do I do here? And I try to keep up.
Yeah I don't see that, but that doesn't mean is
it one of the drop down like mail file edit?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Let's see. Now we're doing it together. So I've deleted
it all. No, No, I've I've control a. I have
a bulk Actions that was my nickname in high school,
Bulk Actions.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Name.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's okay, I'm good. I'll just check it out later.
I just have to do it one at a time.
I just hope somebody. Are you sure you want to
delete these one hundred and six messages? Yes? Delete, there
you go, all those are gone with you. Okay, but
now I have to go to delete it and do it.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Are there any emails though that you ever go back to?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And that's what's funny. Yes, occasionally, but not enough for
me to keep one hundred one thousand emails. Sometimes Mike
and I have data Fridays, I'll go and look at
old data, even though the new data reflects it. I'll
go and look yes, yes, yeah, And sometimes I'll track
down an old video or something. But for the most part, now.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I know it's just like it's almost like cleaning out
your house like closet, like ooh, but I still want
to wear that shirt.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
A couple more of these. That people once believed asbestos
was a miracle material. Damn, that's crazy, and it was.
You know the problem with asbestos cast cancer. Well, yes,
but when it broke up, when it was broken together
as a unit, asbestos was great. So as fireproof, it
was durable, it wasn't expensive. You could put it in
(32:58):
your home to do lots of stuff to insulate ceilings
and workplaces. They didn't even know about the health consequences. Now,
my step dad's dad, so my step grandfather. The reason
I know about this is that his lungs from years
of working with asbestos had limited capacity because once the
asbestos was broken, he'd breathe it in, it would go
into your lungs, couldn't get it out. It would fill
(33:19):
up that lung space.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Educate me, where in a house would it as best
to be like part of the wall insulation. Oh okay,
so the pink insulation in your between your walls.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I'm sure that's not every place it was, But for me,
that's what I knew it from because he did insulation.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So when you were gonna demo a house, demo demolition,
that's what it would have. If you're putting it in
or taking it out, you break it up and then
that's when everything would flap in the air.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Wow, it wasn't that it was a problem untouched. It
was that when it was cut or drilled or broken,
or if it just got old and the deterioration of it,
that's when they called it disturbed asbestos. Asbestos however you
say it. It's like diabetes. It would get in the air. Yeah,
(34:05):
people would breathe it in, so having my grandpa, and
it would lodge in the lungs permanently. And so when
it lodges, it takes up space. So therefore you don't
have enough space to breathe or as much space to breathe.
That's how that's how you lost your grandpa. It was
a part of it. Lung cancer also happened from it, scarring.
For the law, they called it asbestosis. Your lungs will
(34:27):
get scarred from it, and yep, that is a kind
of answer. Yeah, good job on that word. So there
were no symptoms with him for two decades, but it
was building and that was the case. Yep. And so
that was something that people just thought, this is amazing, gosh,
and they didn't know about it forever. Maybe the craziest
(34:48):
one that in the cigarettes. The cigarettes, for sure, it's crazy.
I'm gonna end doctors endorse in it. Yeah, I'm going
to match that. Blood letting is wild to me? What
is that? So I'm taking talking probably mid eighteen hundreds,
I think it stopped. But for hundreds of years they
believed if you were sick, you just let out the
(35:09):
blood because that held the sickness. Those like dirty blood
or something, so you get rid of the blood. Wooh
so and they did this for thousands of years.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
They believed that removing blood could cure a disease because
the disease was in the blood. So if you just
remove the blood, you're removing the disease.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
I mean they were half right right. The disease isn't
the blood, but you still need the blood to live.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
The disease was sometimes in the blood, but you always
needed the blood to live, always needed it. And if
it was in the blood, it was in all the blood. Dang.
And so they would release blood thinking they were releasing
the disease.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Those were hard times. Man, you just trusted somebody that
said anything, and you're like, well, everyone's doing it, but
also everyone's dying after twenty years of living.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Do you ever see the masks from doctors one hundred
years ago with a big nose on it? Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah, I know the doctors wore that. I thought those
were like gas masks because I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
They looked like birds. So when they were doing like surgeries,
they would wear those. No, not really during surgeries, but
when I think of like plagues, Yes, the doctors would
wear those to just identify who they were. Those are
like so creepy that I'm wondering who picked that. It's like,
what's the creepiest thing we could put on us? Yeah? Yeah,
(36:26):
it does look like a kind of a big, gross bird.
See why did the doctors wear those bird masks back
in the day. Let's see what it says. I wonder
they were called plague doctors during outbreaks of bubonic plague.
The birdlike beak wasn't just for looks. Doctors the time
believe disease spread through bad air. They thought foul smells
(36:50):
actually carried illness, so they stuffed the beak as a barrier. Wow.
Lavender rose petals meant clothes. The idea that herbs would
filter the poisoned air before the doctors breathed it, so
that was so.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It was so it was long because they wanted it
to have room to put stuff in.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
It is a barrier, that's crazy to their nose. Wow. Yeah.
The only time that I remember seeing it is plague.
I thought maybe all the doctors wore them, but it
was plague plague stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
They like, you know, any kind of gas warfare.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, those are actual gas masks, which that's what a
gas mask is, putting barriers out. It's you don't think
that though.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I still thought that that, like a bad smelling thing
would make you sick, like dead body, right, the smell
of a dead body. I always I still feel like
if you smell too much of the dead body, like
you're gonna get something bad in you.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Mhmm. If you smell a fart, you're actually take that's
part of it's microscopic.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Right, Yeah, I don't like, don't be sniffing the fart.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I'm not gonna take this as medical knowledge from you
keep saying this, but I do understand the logic out there.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I just feel like, if it smells bad, you probably
shouldn't be smelling too much of it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Maybe it's so microscopic they feel like it can't hurt you. Yeah,
like it could be so small that you can smell it,
but not enough of it to smell to actually hurt you.
I don't have it.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I don't know, but you're Do you like the smell
of gasoline?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah? I love it.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I did too, And I feel like all the years
of us smelling gasoline is probably gonna catch up to us, because,
like I do, I would pump and be.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Like, oh that's no, you have a problem. That's a problem. No no, no,
like no, yeah, no no. I like to smell too,
but that's called huffing gas, like all that chemical smelling stuff.
I love the way it smelled.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to
the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Here are four things that I think we're doing now
that I think we'll look back at in five, seven, ten,
thirty years and go, what the heck were we thinking?
Let's go. Number one. The easiest is the ultra processed food. Gosh,
that's so bad. I think in twenty fifty we're gonna
look back and go all those chemicals in the ingredients
(38:59):
that we made about not even knowing what that meant.
That was what was killing us. That was what all
the all the cancer was coming from.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The problem is that we it's so normal.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
It's so normal.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
We've been doing it for so long to just eat
a bag of chips. But it's not good, you know.
And even now that we have the information of knowing
it's not good, we're still like, but I've been doing
it for.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
A long time, and it's convenience. Yes, it's easy, don't
have to cook anything. You know, it's hard growing your
own garden and slaughtering your own animals. Yeah, but is
that probably what's going to allow you to live longer. Yeah. Yeah,
But all those ingredients in the back of a bag,
we don't know any of that means we're eating it
like I am too. I'm not preaching don't do it,
because I'm doing it a lot too. I think that's
(39:49):
the first one. We will look back on our entire
society and the FDA and go, we can't believe they
allowed that. I hope you're right.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I hope that we get to a point where we
do look back at it, because it seems like we're
never going to get there.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I hope you dance. I hope, I hope when one
door closes, window open.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Do you know what I'm saying? Though, Like, I don't see,
and we will get there unless, I hope.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So we will get there unless a comet blows us up,
we explode, our aliens kill us. But you just have
to because it'll get so bad they'll have to fix itself. Yeah,
driving your own car, how do you mean? I think
we will. Civilizations thirty forty years from now will look
at us driving our own cars now as we do
(40:36):
people that didn't have seat belts. Then interesting because I think,
as crazy as it sounds, self driving cars will become
more dominant. They're already happening at a level. Even in Nashville,
where we live. Waymo's are normal now. Even eight months ago,
way Moo's were not normal. It was crazy to think
of a car driving around without people in it. Now
(40:57):
it is every day, and it's taken that long to normalize.
So I think we'll look back at us driving going, Wow,
we let humans just drive their own cars drunk distracted? Yeah,
and there are nears any recks. There's many debts with
all the self driving. Yeah, I think manually driving a
(41:20):
car at seventy five miles an hour will be insane
to kids in thirty years.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
And I feel bad that I'm not going to be
a part of that one because I would love to
never drive.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Why in thirty years, you'll probably be a live in
thirty years, Oh dude, I mean, oh uh, thirty years.
I think in thirty years, no one's going to be
driving a car a pretty soon. I think just think
about what I said a minute ago, six months ago,
Steven seeing aweimo in a city, we'd have thought there
is no way that's crazy. I think if you're just
gonnat me guessing thirty years, sixty five percent of cars
(41:51):
will be self driving. Wow, okay, sixty man, But sixty
percent is still.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Like, like, who's still going to be driving? Like, how
do you like people that are stuck? Like, ain't nobody
in no one machines gonna drive me?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I ain't wearing no seatbelt? Right, Like, who's still going
to be driving? I feel like they need to be
a all right, no one's driving anymore? Yeah, you won't
be able to do that though. I think who will
be driving or people that have cars that are grandfathered in. Okay,
so right at that point where cars are still allowed
to have drivers, I'm just going from what I think
those are the cars that will still be allowed to
(42:24):
be on the road because you can't do it all
at once, because you have well, you have car companies,
the lobby politicians, yes, because they're not going to lose money.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Man, I still think it's it's I still think that
the mix of driverless cars and humans driving is where
the danger is.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
The danger is I think just the humans part of it.
Computers glitch sometimes two and humans glitch way more than
computers do.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Right, if they're all self driving cars, let's go.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
And there's often the argument whenever a new story of
a self driving car hitting person or causing a wreck,
and that's a new story. Like look, we told you
if it was a new story every time a human
hit a person in a car or caused a wreck,
it'd be one hundred new stories in every town every
single day.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
You're right, it happens way way more than we know. Yes,
but you know what they don't see, like like what
we experience in San Francisco, being in the way Moo was.
They don't see an officer directing traffic, you know, like yeah,
well yeah, not yet. But they don't know that the
guy's saying go, or the guy saying stop, or the
guy's going go to the right.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
Well, things are going to have to be acknowledged. They
don't know so they can know them, right, So they
launch them in places like San Francisco. So I would
think in a year if that were the case here,
it'd be fixed here because they they'll fix that problem.
But I think people will look back and go. I
can't believe they like idiot humans drive cars. You know,
I'm a whole bit on. I can't believe two yellow lines.
I'm trusting two yellow lines to keep that guy from
(43:52):
crashing into me. No, I think about it all the
time now since you've said it, those two yellow lines,
I'm just trusting it. Those two on the ground, no
barrier at all, are keeping that person who I've never
met him my life, who might be drunk, distracted, high,
the kids crying in the back, or he wants to
kill himself yep, or kill somebody else, or from crossing
six feet and killing yep. It's such.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
It's a line, it's wild.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I should make some jokes out of that, because it's
kind of a bit, but I really don't have any
jokes there, right, Like, how do you laugh from that
alcohol being the default social activity. I think, well, in
twenty years we'll look back at and go, that's insane,
because now putting alcohol in your body's poison. It's poisoning
your body. It's the same thing in respect as putting
in all the food we talked about earlier, the ultra processed,
(44:33):
and the more you read about alcohol, yep, makes you
feel fun. It's fun, it lightens it up, but it's poison.
And they're now finding ways that alcohol is absolutely contributing
or causing cancer, which really wasn't the story for a
long time. And there are so many alcohol commercials on television.
It's going to be looked at like cigarette commercials on television. Wow,
they had cigarette commercials on television. They had alcohol commercials
(44:55):
on television. I think that will be looked at in
the future as that's crazy. We're already seen.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
I mean I already know personally more people that I
talked to that used to drink a lot that don't
drink anymore.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
The last one I have is disposable everything. Oh, everything's disposable. Well,
we have disposable wipes, disposable diapers, Yeah, disposable whatever it is.
Plates Forks said, I went to wipes obviously first, could
have a baby. A baby's last. I think just creating disposable,
one use, single use, that's we're going to go. That
(45:30):
was wild, how wasteful and how terrible for our environment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I think when we're like and you can't go anywhere
without seeing like a piece of paper or like a cup,
that's what we're going to be.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
Like, this is bad.
Speaker 6 (45:44):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
This is the Bobby cast. The other one was I
think college costing people tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We're gonna look back and go, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah, what about college.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
I think they'll always be a knee for higher education,
depending on what you want to do. I think we're
already seeing though that every job doesn't need college, every
person doesn't need college, and to take out loans depending
on your career. I feel like at times it's probably
not the smartest thing to do, but a lot of
other countries college is free. And think about if we
(46:20):
charged for high school. Oh my gosh, yes, that'd be amazing.
Like we don't charge for high school. I think if
you go to college in a perfect world where we
had health care, which we don't. We're the richest country
in the world, we did not have good health care
or any Yeah, we also don't have education paid for
out of high school. I think college should be paid for.
If we actually cared about our citizens, we would pay
(46:42):
for college, we'd pay for health That would be great.
And then it's your choice to go or not. Yeah. Right,
And if you don't go and prove that you want
to be there, we don't pay for it anymore. Correct.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
And I still I do think there's a lot of
people that would just opt out, be like, you know what,
it's not for me, I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
I think a lot of people should opt out. I
have friends that you have friends that have degree to
look back and go. Man, I took out a loan,
I could have got started in my job, my profession
earlier and got ahead. But not for It's not for everybody.
I think we'll look back at that and think that's crazy.
A good one. The final thing I want to do
is with Mike, and I encourage you guys to check
out movie Mike's podcast. And so Mike's been going to
(47:18):
those movies that costs like five dollars to make, and
then they're making They're making a couple of them, right. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (47:23):
Obsession is probably one of the best movies I've seen
this year. It's about this guy who is totally into
this girl. She doesn't like him at all, and he
gets this thing called a one wish wallow that grants
you any wish, any wish to come true. So he's like,
I want this girl to love me more than anybody
else in the world.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
And then it comes true. But she becomes obsessed with him.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
So he got one wish of anything, anything, and he
chose it on a girl.
Speaker 4 (47:44):
Yeah, he didn't know it was gonna work.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
I guess that's a good point. If it was a
genie talking to me, I would know.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
It was gonna work, That's what I'm thinking, Like, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
So this guy didn't know, and he's like, Okay.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
He buys it at a shop that sells like crystals
and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
He thought it was a kid's toy. It looks like
a kid's toy. God, He's like, I wish she loves
me more than anyone else in the world, and then
she does.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Is it good?
Speaker 4 (48:03):
It's really good.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah, you said it's best of the year.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
Maybe, uh, probably top three right now?
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Is it a five to five?
Speaker 4 (48:10):
No, it's a four point five out of five.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
How much did he spend on that movie?
Speaker 5 (48:14):
They spent about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
make it. It's now made over one hundred million, on
pace to be one of the most profitable movies.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Is this his first movie?
Speaker 5 (48:24):
Yeah, he's a YouTuber who was doing like sketches. He
was like, had like spots on it's always sunny. So
he was an actor too. But now this is kind
of the model the new film school is start a
YouTube channel, love it, make movies that get people's attention,
get a big studio attention. And now like people are
bidding on him like crazy to do another movie.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
That's really cool, really cool. There's another one. It was
on a message board, the four Chan site, right, and
it's called.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
Like the back Rooms.
Speaker 5 (48:51):
So back in twenty nineteen, somebody posted a picture of
a yellow hallway on four Chan, which is like a
much I would say, like grittyer reddit, like a nerdy read.
Oh yeah, it's like a forum that it doesn't look
aesthetically pleasing. But somebody just posted this picture of a
yellow hallway and another user wrote this little like one
paragraph underneath it.
Speaker 4 (49:09):
That's called a creepypasta, which.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
Is essentially like Internet folklore, just like a ghost story
and just kind of describe like what happens in this
kind of situation.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
And then that became this big Internet.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Like folklore that everybody just started expanding on, like adding
stories of like what goes on in the back rooms.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
They created these other layers and levels to it.
Speaker 5 (49:26):
And then this guy named Kane Parsons made a movie
on YouTube about that. That blew up has like over
one hundred million views on YouTube. And then the studio
A twenty four said we want you to make a
movie about this.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
He was about to go to college. He was like
nineteen years old. He's like, all right, I'll make.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
A movie instead.
Speaker 5 (49:44):
Has become one of the youngest directors to ever top
the box office. Wow, Like, I've never been more inspired
by anything than that guy.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
Story.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Did they spend like a minimal amount to make that
movie ten.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
Million, which is probably like a lower budget movie, like
I was a normal movie. Now it's probably like in
the twenty five million dollar range about like a typical
movie like a Marvel movie is obviously like two hundred
two hundred fifty, but that's a pretty good amount.
Speaker 4 (50:10):
That's a great return on investment. Because it's now been
number one.
Speaker 5 (50:13):
These movies are beating out Mandalorian and Grogu, Like this movie,
Obsession and Backrooms were number one and two, and Mando
is number three. That's one hundred and sixty million dollar
movie with Disney behind it.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
What's exciting about that is these movie studios don't want
to invest in movies that could possibly miss, which is
why we continue to get sequels, prequels, and spin offs.
But it's showing here that independent ideas can make money
original ideas.
Speaker 5 (50:42):
I think it's showing that you don't have to have
IP you just have to create something that causes like
a conversation, like that's what people want. You want to
go to the theater to have an experience that you
can't get anywhere else because Mandalorian Grogu, you just watched
that on Disney. Plus that is though this has no
immediacy for you to go see that in theaters. But
something like this that is capturing people's attention, has people
talking about it. You go, like, my entire feet is
(51:03):
just theories about both of these movies. People diving into
these world. You have to create that. That is what
is gonna get people to the theater. It's not like, oh,
go watch movies so we experience with other people.
Speaker 4 (51:12):
You don't care about that.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
No, people suck. First of all, they got the phones
on and they're talking, and you know how many yellow
lines you gott drop by where somebody else is in
the crashing? Do you kill you on the way to
the movie?
Speaker 5 (51:22):
Like if I see somebody marketing a movie, like, that's
not how to how to market a movie. You have
to create immediacy, like you need to go see this now,
because if you don't see it, you're not in on
the conversation.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
So what was that one called back Rooms?
Speaker 1 (51:33):
What do you give that one?
Speaker 5 (51:34):
I hardly I give that one three point five out
of five. I think the third act of that movie
kind of fell apart from me. It's also like a.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
Very slow burn because a lot of.
Speaker 5 (51:43):
It is them exploring this world Essentially, it's this movie
that takes place in a furniture store and the guy
who owns the furniture store discovers the secret room through
a portal, and then you go into this portal and
it's just kind of these weird monster like figures, these
like figments of your kind of like weird imagination, and
it's just them exploring.
Speaker 4 (52:01):
It for a while.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
And there's like an entire thirty minutes of the movie
of him just kind of walking around and discovering all
these weird things.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
But that one is cool because of how it came together.
Speaker 5 (52:10):
Yeah, and I just love the It's a movie that
I love the aesthetic of it more the music to it.
But overall, I don't go into it thinking that was
just a great story and I left like really excited
about it. But it's kind of one that I'm like
going and reading all these theories about, so the afterlife
of it is why I find it so entertaining.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
What's the best movie you've seen this year so far?
Speaker 4 (52:29):
So far this year?
Speaker 1 (52:33):
What's a what's a five out of five? Oh?
Speaker 4 (52:36):
I would say that the movie he so terrible.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
You didn't like that one? Were you going in open? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (52:43):
I like anything.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
I love PG thirteen movies that are inspiring to like
kids and families, because I think there is kind of
a lack there. I think that mid budget family movie
is kind of an afterthought with studios, but they can
be done well.
Speaker 4 (52:56):
This is not done well.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
Frand Thim one of the bus lean back and goes,
what about Broadway? I saw, dang, what's that the best
movie of the year.
Speaker 5 (53:03):
The only five out of five I've handed out this
year is Project til Mary, and a lot of that
was the in theater experience because I saw it in
seventy millimeters IMAX, which is like the highest quality you
can see it.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
So I felt like I went to space when seeing
that movie.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
Really and I.
Speaker 5 (53:15):
Read the book too, so I think no, that was
the first time I'd read the book and watched the
movie in a really long time, so I felt like
this big attachment to the story itself. Ryan Gosling is
also my favorite actor, so everything around the experience of
that movie me knowing the story, wanted to see like
how they did it different, how they made it the same.
That's why that was my best movie of the year.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
I watched it too, read the book too. I watched
it at home. I get it four and a half
I think out of five.
Speaker 4 (53:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (53:41):
The only thing that I didn't love about it was
was so long. But I don't think any movie should
be over now in forty five. If so, make two,
put them out at the same time, and during one part.
Speaker 4 (53:48):
Two there you see with that one.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
I saw it went by so fast, like you couldn't
I couldn't feel the two and a half hour runtime.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
I loved it, though, And what I loved about it
most is you can watch it with all for your
kids and your wife and your mom, and all of
you would love it. That's no bad words, no Wieners.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
That's so rare for everyone for your movie. Oh yeah, no,
no, no the Wieners.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
But for all of us to watch a movie where
we can all enjoy it, it's awesome.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
Aside from the drinking. Gah, there's nothing else.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
Oh is that why? It probably got to Pete the thirteen.
Speaker 4 (54:20):
Yeah, they drink at a bar.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
Oh I drink at a bar.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Hey, Mike the seventy millimeter. If I get close to
my TV and watch it like that was the same effect.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
No, if you put your nose on the screen. Whoa
It's like how we would cheat at Duck Hunt on Ane.
We put the gun on the screen to shoot the ducks.
If you do that with that movie, you'll feel like
you're in space. Buddy, all right, thank you all for

Speaker 6 (55:18):
By everybuddy, love this episode of the Bobby Cast. Subscribe
on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. A few things we're
going to talk about. Number one, things people once believed
that sound crazy today, and then things we're doing today
that also I think will sound crazy in twenty years
from now. Also, we're going to talk about Instagram Plus,
which is a new new thing to spend money on,
(00:32):
and a couple movie reviews from Mike d So Eddie's here.
What's up? Are you gonna get Instagram Plus?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't even know what that is. I mean, I'm
still hesitant to get on threads. It keeps trying to
keeps trying to give me to get on threads.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I'm like, I don't know, you don't trust it. I
don't know if I want to do that? Yes? What is?
What is Instagram Plus? First? Can we talk threads for
a second? Okay? Threads is just like the safer it
YouTube kids for Twitter?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Really well, there's Twitter that's a safer Twitter.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's like a nicer, gentler Twitter.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You know what I think it is. I think it's
the way it asks. It always says like Bobby's on threads,
like do you.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Want to get on threads? If it didn't do that,
I'd be like Okay, I'll give it a shot, don't
you Sometimes do see like the little Threads teases, Yeah,
and they cut it off at the next word that
you want, and so you hit it and it opens it. Yes,
you're kind of already on threads.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, because I can't watch that video. They'll only give
me the little teaser.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
But if you click into it and.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Then it says like join Threads, it gives me the
whole black screen with click the button to join, and
I'm like, oh, that's where it stops me there. It's
almost like when you buy something or you're gonna buy something,
and it's like.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Are you sure you want to buy it? You're like, ooh,
I am I sure. I don't know. So your Threads account
already exists, then you just haven't activated it because it's
the same exact account. I guess. So on Instagram, I
guess there's really nothing on threads.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So, so what do you put on Threads?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Only my Instagram posts go on Threads. And every once
in a while I'll be lured in by the teasers
on Instagram and so I click in to see and
then I'll go, oh, threads, and then I scroll through
and it's a very water down, safer version of Twitter.
But when I want Twitter action, like I'm going into
the alley to fight. I don't go into the alley
(02:21):
to hang out and have a good time. Like, if
you're going into the alley, you're going to the alley
to fight. That's what Twitter is.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, Twitter is interesting like Twitter. If there's a cop
in my neighborhood, I go to Twitter because the cops
will usually kind of like update, like, ooh, working a
thing in this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Stay away. Twitter is the garbage can outside the house
if you're doing investigating on someone, Like it's gross, but
there's real stuff there. Yeah, what do you use? Sports?
Sports and news? And then I just kind of watch
fights like but it sucks, but it's also awesome. So
(02:53):
Instagram is launching Instagram Plus. So here's what you can
get for three ninety nine a month on Instagram plus.
Anonymous story viewing. What does that mean? So you know
what to watch your story and you see the little
head on the bottom yes, and you see who looked
at your stories. So this is look for people that
are up to know good.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
So people that want to like see a story but
don't want to let everyone know that they.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Watch that story. Mm hm. That's interesting, Like you want
to check out an excess story or a rival story,
So I'm good there. You can get anonymous story viewing.
I mean, that's probably the feature that is going to
get the most attention online. Yeah, is that you can
see story rewatches. So if you put up a story,
(03:38):
you're gonna see who watches your story. But it's also
going to let you see people that went back and
rewatched your story. And one you can see who's like
super obsessed with you or the reality is it's probably
people who are just watching content that was so good
they wanted to watch it twice. So it lets you
know that's the kind of content that's working.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, I do like that. Another one is unlimited story
audience lists. So you have an option to have close friends.
That's a little green circle that pops up and so
you can show just your close friends things. But you
can have other lists as well, So you could have
people from the Bobby cast, work, people from back home Okay,
(04:23):
so you could do those kind of lists.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You could do extension of stories from twenty four hours
because right now stories last twenty four hours, but I'm
kind of just be in my garbage up anyway, Like
if it was worth it, I don't know that it
deserves to live longer than twenty four hours. So you
can do that with extended stories. There's a story Spotlight
once a week you can boost a story so it
(04:48):
appears prominently to more followers. So you got one of
those week. You can search your viewer lists, so if
people are watching your stories, you really can't go through
and type into a magnifying glas to see who. You
have to hopefully catch them right when they watch. See
is that the order whoever watched last is probably number
one on the list. Yeah, for the most part. Okay,
(05:09):
sometimes blue check marks will pop up into mind and
then fade back out if the blue check marks watched it.
But with this, you actually can search the viewer list.
You can post without showing up in your followers feeds.
So let's say you wanted to post something. I'm gonna
give a perfect example of something that was hilarious to me.
You had posted a picture once holding a banana and
(05:30):
I think two oranges. That's two boiled eggs. Okay, two
boiled eggs. I think you get the point here. You
didn't mean to post it as a wiener with testicles, no,
but when you held it up, it looked like a
wiener with testical.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It looked like I was trying to be funny with
a wiener and testing.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Was that your intention? No? No, no.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
And my wife's the one that pointed it out. She
was just like, what why do you do that? And
I'm like, do what?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So if your wife had an account and you knew
you were going to post that, and you're like, I
don't know, not this not pop up in her feed?
It still exists if she goes to your feed, so
you can make sure it doesn't pop up in her feed. Okay,
so you're Eggs and Banana would only go to everybody else's.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
There are even things too that we talk about on
the show where you're like, I'd rather them not hear this.
It's a funny story, but I'd rather them not hear this,
so you can pick them.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
There's an extra profile customization, more profile pins, custom apps.
I don't know. They're super hearts and super likes. Oh wow,
Like I really really like it. Animated reactions for stories.
It's mostly cosmetic and so that is three ninety nine
a month right now. I tried to go over because
I saw the guy who kind of looks like me
that talks about Instagram. Are guts familiar with them?
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, I'm not convinced he's a real person.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He's like very likable and pops up on feeds. No, No,
he's a real person. Well is he?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Is?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
He not a he's supposed to be a real person. Huh,
he is a real person. Mike's being funny mostly, I think,
but he is like the head promotion for Metaka and
he kind of looks like me, glasses of curly here,
it's safe looking, and he's like, hey, everybody to answer
some questions. I like him. He's like anti Zuckerberg, where
(07:03):
Zuckerberg is kind of weird, and you know, he's smarter
than the room and who knows what diabolical things he
has in his mind? Yeah, it looks like, yes, he's diabolical.
This guy looks like he's just up to good. Okay,
they picked the right guy for trust him. Yeah. His
name's like Moe Adam oh Adam moost Aria. Is he
a real guy?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Okay, he's presented as a real guy. Yeah, but yes,
he's a real human him down. Yeah. So he came
on and was talking about this what I did all
the research into it, and I still haven't seen where
I can get it though, Mike and your accounts, have
you seen where you can subscribe to it? Yeah? I
saw his video, so as soon as he said, I
(07:45):
wanted to see how you would subscribe for it for
three ninety nine? Are you gonna do it? Probably because
I just want to watch people stories. That's knowing. That's
the main one. Watch and watch your story so many times?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Hey, on that topic, what who is some one that
you've seen watch your story and you're like, wow, I
never would expect them to watch my story.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't know that I have a good answer on that,
because but she follows me, and she only occasionally comments
would be somebody like Carrie Underwood, because I don't think.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
She's a good one.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
She's that active. Yeah, so when I see her watching
a story she probably had. She didn't seek me out,
but she follows me, so I'm on her top bubbles. Yeah,
so she's probably just rolling through them at four pm.
I mean that's a lot. When I see a carry one,
I'm like, oh, that's funny. Carry and was watching my
story and then I'm like, hey, my story was garbage,
Carrie Anderwood, just watch my garbage story. I wish I
(08:36):
would have had a better one. I know.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I had Cane Brown in one, and I'm like, that's crazy.
Like he saw my face and was like, let me
see what Edie's up to or.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You posted and he just having to roll through them
in order up on the top. Yeah, because I can't
imagine Carrie saw my face and thought, let's do what
Bobby's up to.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Well, right, But I mean at the same time, like
if they've never clicked on your face, it's never going
to pop up on the first ten and the last followers.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That they're not following many people, and their follower the
people they're following aren't posting many stories. True, it's only
two you and me. I don't want to take that
away from you. Kane definitely saw your face and was like,
let's see what's up. I thought that was cool.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Kelsey valerinium like, well, that's crazy, Like Kelsey just clicked
on my face and see what Eddi's up to.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
There are people who have me on their close friends list.
I shouldn't be on their close friends list. That's interesting.
All of a sudden, it'll pop up and the green
circle is around it, and then I think I'm considered
they're a close friend to them, I barely want to
follow them. You're like, gosh, I don't consider them man
(09:38):
close at all. So I'll click the green and I'll
watch it, and then I just think, do they like
me more than I like them? Yeah? Or did they
put everyone on their close friends list as they follow?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's what I think it is, because I mean, how
many people do you do close friends posts?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I have a close friends list, but do you post
on it?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Because I don't think I've ever gotten one of yours,
very very rare, which is now making me think I'm
not on your list.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No, my list is different. I have one close friend's
list and it's only for people that played pickleball that
I could say, hey, do you guys want to play today?
So instead of sending a group text, I would send
a group Instagram story and go, hey, if anyone wants
to play at two pm today? And there's like eleven
people on that list, and if they did, they would
just respond okay.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So now with Instagram plus that can be your pickleball list.
You can have a different close friends list, which is
like family.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The problem was, though I would see people look at
it and not respond because there are only eleven people
on the list total. I'd be respond right, So then
I get mad. Yeah, yeah, that can be dangerous. Yeah,
so I'll probably subscribe to this just because social media
is a big part of what I do. And I
was watching Adam what's his name, and he was talking
(10:57):
about how it will not affect you if you don't
abscribe to it, meaning everybody's the same. I just think
of Animal Farm when people say that that George Orwell
book where all the animals are equal. Some are just
a little more equal than others, which means they're actually
not equal. So I think if you buy this, your
stuff will probably be promoted, sure, because they like paying customers.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
But he's not going to say that.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
No, they're going to say everyone's equal. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
It's kind of weird, a weird business model to say like, hey,
you know, you can buy it, but even if you don't,
you're not going to be any different.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
You're not going to get the features of super likes, right, Yeah,
Like they are listing actual features that you're going to get.
But I do feel that if you do this, they
probably favor you because you're spending money with him, even
to just share. It's a good point, like that would
be my thought. So and you love data too, Yeah,
big data guy, Big data guy. Love data Fridays. It's
(11:51):
a Mike d and I thing Fridays. Yeah, you guys
call each other and all right, let's share the data.
I wake up. I know there's a bunch of data
in my lap. You guys are talking data. Earlier today
we were I was frustrated at a week's worth of data,
and then we were evaluating how we can make it better. Yeah,
and our solution was Superkes. We're gonna we're gonna invest
in Superkes. Okay. So that's number one, Okay, number two.
(12:16):
There are now a list of bands that are considered
dad rock not classic rock. There is a difference in
classic rock, which would be bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith,
Van Halen. Sure that's classic rock. That was classic rock
when we were kids listening to classic rock radio. There's
classic and now there's dad rock. Can you name me
five dad rock bands.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I'm gonna go with, probably like Goo Goo Dolls.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Gooo Dolls would be a dad rock band. Yeah, I
love Googoo Dolls. Guess what, I'm your dad. We're both dads.
We both like Goo Goo Dolls. Man's Pearl Jam a
dad for sure. A dad rock band. Yeah. Mostly it's
just bands we like. I know that we liked as kids,
and so I have the top dad rock band number
one of those not on the lists. No, but this
(13:04):
list is kind of stupid, Okay. I think it's just
any anyone that was born in the late seventies or
all the way up to the mid to late eighties,
that's us. If you had a band as a kid
that you loved that played with the guitar. I had guitars,
I think that's dad rock. That's it. The number one
dad rock band is Blank one eighty two. Oh yeah,
(13:24):
I don't know, though. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
One time I went to Starbucks and there was a
guy I would think he was in his late twenties,
maybe early thirties, and I had my phone out, like
I was just sitting on top of the counter and
it was Blank wenty two on the like had just
been played or whatever, and he goes, dude, were you
just listening to Blink twenty two. I'm like, yeah, that's awesome,
(13:47):
And I'm like, okay, is this a young guy being like, hey, respect,
dad's listening to Blank twenty two? But I thought that
Blank Waity two was our music, not a twenty eight
year olds.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Wouldn't that be the same if we were young We
saw someone listening to Fleetwood Mac and we had just
gotten into Fleetwood Mac because we had those bands when
we were kids, the classic rock bands we saw. No
regardless of Fletwood Mac. We're like, oh you like Fluwood Mac,
me too, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Okay, so that's just like a baby okay, okay, a
bond between me and the Starbucks guy.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
But Blank one eighty two one dad band create it too.
I know you just don't like Creed. It's so bad.
It's crazy that you still feel that way after hearing
how good Scotts Stapp was. He played with our band,
He's sang with our band.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I would never say that they're that they are not talented,
or that Scott's Stap isn't talented.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The music is just bad bad. Creed's music is awesome
and it definitely defines a time. Yeah, a time. I
wasn't listening to that. But you also don't like Nickelback? No,
and I feel like they were together same time. You
don't like masculine guitar rock with masculine lyrics, like aggressive
(15:04):
masculine music, because I would say, you love pearl Jam
Pearlms not that aggressive.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
They're kind of whining rage against the machine.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I love it. That's a message. Okay, they're speaking against
government corruption. Yeah, protest. I do like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Who else would fall under a Creed Nickelback?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's not them too?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But but see, would you even put Creed a Nickelback
on the same kind of Oh yeah, like same sound
because they have different One was a little more pop,
the Nickelback was more popish.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I think you're insane. I think they're the same. Give
photograph like that's not They both were massive pop artists.
I would say they're the same. I enjoy them both.
You too, you love both of them. I think if
I had to pick one that was better, I'd probably
go with Creed because they're American. Uh huh, yeah, there
we go. And also, Scott Yapp played with us at
(15:56):
our show.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
We kind of know him and he was He's that amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He sounded so good. He sounded great.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I remember it was so it's like so embarrassed because
I really I never listened to Creed, didn't like Creed,
but playing with Scott's staff on stage was really cool.
And then he comes up to me while he's singing
arms Wide Open and he puts the micro front of my.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Face like I want to sing the lyric, and I'm like,
I don't know the lyric, dude. The fact that you
didn't know the lyric to arms Wide Open, I was like,
I don't know that lyric. Creed is so good. Hire
my sacrifice with arms wide Open? My own prison? What
if one?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I mean, which one is colders in session?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Jerry? Yeah, and I said, yeah, prison jam. The verdict
is in. No one was on the dock in today.
It just my own sins.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Do you remember when him and Eddie Vedder fought in
MTV Celebrity Death Match.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
No, they were like every time they they didn't make
that sound. I think you should explain what celebrity death matches,
oh man, Celebrity death match was so cool.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It was when MTV would do an animated boxing match
between two rivals.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
They look like clamation animated claymation. It was so bad.
But I don't even remember who won that fight. I
don't think it was a real fight. Don't it matters,
it's a record. Uh, Celebrity death Match was cool. Do
you remember any fights? I remember watching it because it
came on around Jackass or Tom Green. Yeah. Yeah, that's
why I think I watched it. I hung around to
watch it. Uh yeah, So Creed, Fallout Boys now considered
(17:34):
dad rock, and that's Crazy Food Fighters, Green Day, Incubus, Corn,
Lincoln Park, The Offspring, Wheezer. Yeah. Then you got to
put Limp Biscuit in there too, You have to. That's
dad rock. But Limp Biscuit was around that time of
Nickelback and Creed. Yeah, because Fred Durst I think, and
Scott Stapp got into it the Celebrity death Match, but
I think they had a real battle. Yeah. Yeah, See
(17:57):
I liked Limp Biscuit because they sounded unique. But they
were corn derivative? Oh? Were they definitely unique? Did corn
rap so iking sounds but you don't think that's a
great corn impression? Yeah? No, that was great. But did
they rap? Because like my friend, can you do a
(18:18):
corn song? Mmm?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Freaking leash, something like a freaking.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Kind of talkie singing yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Something tics ubt of.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Men without the did they launch limp Biscuit? Did did
they did corn? Like bring limp Biscuit onto t R
L or something? I don't think limp Biscuit exists without Corn,
but I don't know if one of them actually, oh,
it's a yes, corn being their dad in my mind,
(18:52):
but I like than I did. Oh yeah, Corn was
a little too hard for me and fred Derschwar's hat
backward and they did a George Michael song. So okay,
dad bands and dad rock. It's not quite classic rock,
but it is a generation. You know what's cool? And
you're you're a newish dad, right, I mean pretty you're
a new dad. But what's cool about.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
The influence we have on our kids is going to
be music. Like our kids are gonna think whatever we
listen to, not even what we like tell them is cool,
but whatever they listen to when they're right in the
back of the car and they will automatically just be like, oh, yeah,
my dad listened to that. I like that stuff, you know,
I see it now. Like even my seven year old
(19:33):
is like just singing like butter Man. I'm like, where'd
you hear that? He's like, oh, I just heard it
from years of right in the back sea playing pearl
Jam and he loves it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
My wife does not like when I play NonStop Counting
Crows with the baby in the car, but I'm telling you,
your baby's gonna love it. I hope so well. I'm
really rooting for that County Coast tattoo. I wanted to
grow up and get a County Coroast tattoo. We get
one together, which one? And do you want it? Like
the ink of the first album, Yeah, kind of sloppy with.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
The oh yeah, hang ty, The Bobby Cast will be
right back. Wow, And we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Ten things that people once believed that sound completely crazy
now and so I'm going to give you these, and
eventually we're going to get over to things that are
happening now that I think we're going to look back
at and go, I can't believe we were doing that.
So here we go. At number one, the smoking was
actually healthy. Oh that's crazy. Doctors literally appeared in cigarette
(20:35):
ads on television. Some brands claimed that cigarette soothed your throat.
Improved digestion. Yes, helped you lose weight. Hospitals even handle
them out to patience. That is insane. Now, there was
a lot of data that they knew they did not
share with us, meaning the cigarette companies obviously, especially when
(20:55):
it comes to nicotine. But it's crazy to think now
what we know that was happening then.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I'm telling you, I was listening to an old Christmas
special from like nineteen forty It was like an old
radio Christmas special in nineteen forty five Bing Crosby was
hosted or whatever, and they tossed it to commercial And
this podcast that I was listening to had the old
commercials in it, and one of them was just camel cigarettes.
And a doctor is like, Hi, I'm doctor so and
so He's literally said i'd recommend and says the.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
New menthol camel. The doctor recommends you smoke at least
fifty a week, No way, at least fifty a week.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And it's good for your throats.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That's that is crazy. The other that I have up
here at the top is that they did believe until
even the late seventies, some doctors that babies didn't feel pain.
Oh that's so sad. Yeah, until at the very latest
the early nineteen eighties. Many doctors believe that newborn's nervous
systems weren't developed enough to fully and truly experience pain.
(22:00):
Some surgeries were performed on babies with minimal or no
anesthesia no way, because they felt babies didn't feel. But
like you can just tell that babies feel. They cry
a lot.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, Like I feel like if you slapped a baby,
they'd start crying.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Wild. Huh, that is wild. There was a time that
they thought seat belts were dangerous. Now maybe you've seen
on TikTok those old news stories where they're going around
and they're talking about seat belts or drinking and driving.
Have you seen those? Saw them like last a week.
So I'll give you the story. First, Most people resisted
seat belts because they believe that being thrown clear from
(22:40):
a vehicle was actually safer than the seat belts. That
if they got into a wreck, they wanted to throw
them out of the car instead of the seat belt
strangling them.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Today or being stuck in the car not being able
to get out.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, it turns out that's not a winning strategy, being
thrown from a car. There are a lot of winning
strategies that ain't won.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Maybe it was before jobs of life, you know, maybe
it was before they had that big machine that can
rip cars open.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Even then, the drinking and driving one, it's kind of funny.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
So the video I saw, I think they were it
was the law to not drink and drive, like opening containers,
and they were saying, I mean, that's stupid. There's a
guy who's like, I mean, I worked all day. You're
telling me that I can't have a beer on the
way home from working. You know, like a man can
enjoy a beer.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
A man can't enjoy beer after a hard day's work
in his.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Car, right, And then and then he says, well, they
can do next? Make us wear seat belts, Yes they are, sir.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So that has been your infringing on our personal rights. Yeah,
and so seatbelts, beer, even schools doing immunizations at times,
you're in fringing on our person's rights. That's right, Like
we should have the ability to do this.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Man, My dad, when it became a lot and ought
to have to wear a seat belt, my dad was
so against it that he wouldn't wear it until he
saw a cop. And then when you see a cop,
he'd be like, oh crap, and then he put it on,
and then he would leave it on until the cop left,
and then he would take the strap that went over
the front and just tuck it behind him.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Is it because it was uncomfortable or he was anti
the system?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
I think that the first one was anti system, you know.
And then he's like, this isn't coomfortable at all, which
is probably another reason why I didn't like it, and
so he would just put it behind him.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Wouldn't it be weird to get into a car now
and not put on a seat belt?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
So it's always weird, like I can't some of my kids,
they sit in the back seat and I have to
remind them put their seat belt on. But to me,
it's so natural, like it doesn't feel right to be
driving the car moving with no seat belt.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
It feels like I'm butt naked on stage. Yeah, with
just the feeling of not having a seat belt on
me and driving. Even though you do remember not wearing
seat bel I do remember not wearing a seat belt
as a young, young kid. Because my grandma will drive,
I don't even know if her passenger seat had a
seatbelt in it. She had an old car, and I
don't even know that it had a seat belt. So, yeah,
there was a time in our life like we got that.
(24:55):
Of things are still a little crazy, Like we didn't
have the Internet when we were very young, then we
got it. We got both worlds in middle school a
little older than that.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
For me, I remember my friend Peppe. He had a
I mean, he was the first guy to have the
Internet that I knew, and I didn't understand when he
was trying to explain it. It's just like, oh, dude,
I can talk to anyone in the world, Like, but
you don't have a phone.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
He's like, it's all on the computer. I have to
have someone drop me off with the library and hot
springs just so I could get on the internet. And
I would get in chat rooms and a chat room.
It wasn't live chatting like now like a Java. It
was you write your message, you push send, and the
pageer just refreshes and everybody who posted a message you
didn't see it. Oh, it was like a message like
a message board that would refresh. Yeah, it was the
(25:38):
first chat rooms. I had a couple of chatroom girlfriends.
We'd send pictures and letters and stuff, real pictures, or
where you send pictures of someone else? What are you
trying to say? No, I mean, you know, send pictures
of someone else. Now I send pictures of myself. I'm rude.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
You don't even know if they were sending you real
pictures of themselves. It is before scammers. But I would
have someone drop me off with the library and Hot Springs,
which is like thirty five to forty minutes away. It's
like fifteen. Maybe that's middle school for you. Our school
was just different. What's middle school age for you? Uh? Thirty? Well,
sixth grade is eighth grade. So we didn't have middle school.
(26:11):
We had elementary down on the bottom of the hill.
Kindergarten through sixth Junior high was seventh, eighth, and ninth.
Senior high was tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. But that was
all in one building. Oh wow, So middle school to
me is fourth, fifth, and sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Okay, okay, now, so it'd be your junior high, but
you were one year up. You were one year closer
to high school.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
But I still think it is around the same time
for us. So when I said that my middle school
was different than yours, so you did.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So this was even before AOL, I never did.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Scotty. My neighbor got AOL and I would get on
his computer a lot and play either Yahoo Chess, or
I would get on AOL instant messenger and talk with people.
That was cool, That was cool. That was the craziest
thing to me, to really messenger and talk to people.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, until someone picked up the phone, went off the phone,
I'm online.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah. We got to have both. We got to have
no connection in all connection. Yeah, we're that rare age
that is still present enough to understand what's happening newly
with technology. But also we didn't have it as kids. Dude,
how about email still being a thing now? Yeah? What
do you mean? Like, I feel like email is so old,
(27:23):
so is the postal service though, and it's still a
thing like actual mail.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's a good play. But really who says letters? It's
normally just companies sending bills or like you know, well.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Package Yeah, yeah, because I guess now any package I send,
I send with ups or FedEx.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Like I think my mother in law is the only
person that sends a real letter. But but like email,
like think about like email was around the time those
refreshing chat rooms that you were saying, and like it's
so old school, like I'm going to send you an email,
you know, but like really that's how companies still survive.
Some people's jobs are just to check emails and respond
(28:00):
to emails.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I feel the email for me is more of a
regimented communication. Even with people that I work with or
we work together. If I need something fast, it's text, right.
If I just need you to know something and it's
after hours, and if you get to it, that's awesome.
But if you don't, I get it, it's an email.
(28:23):
I feel like email is just a layer of not
as immediate communication. I also feel also people I don't
know as well, right, And I also feel that people
like it because it has a paper trail, like if
it's gonna be email, it's gonna be official. There's always
a record of like I send you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
An email three years ago, and here it is at
eight forty five pm.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You know. I don't really clear out my emails, and
I just looked at mine I have and this is
not a lot, I don't think, But I don't ever
have any red dots. Like I read every email I
get and as soon as I get a junk email,
or a email selling me something. I unsubscribe to every
one of them. Oh really, Immediately I go to the
bottom and hit unsubscribed because I just don't want that
to turn into something else. And so I have one
(29:10):
hundred and ten thousand messages in my box? How do
I get rid of them?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I mean, is there a button where you can just
say delete all?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I wish I can do control a and then delete
all those But that's just for them that screen, Mike,
what do you know?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
I mean, depending on what email you're using, there is
a way you could just kill them all at once, like.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
A macmy email. I don't know. Yeah, that's what I have.
And so sometimes about once every year, I'll hit the
paper clip that's all attachments, and it'll list the biggest
attachments at the top, and I'll control a delete and
just delete the biggest file to clear your space yep,
and then I'll have to go to delete it and
(29:51):
delete them again. It's just so much of a process.
I just need like a kill switch, like all.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Can't you do like a select all?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Well, control a select all? You can only select us
on your screen? Oh, you can't do all.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
So there's an option where you can select all conversations.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But that's back and forth emails.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
No, it's just that's just what it's called.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay. An email is not called a conversation because it's
kind of what it is.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I guess so, and then everything from like if you
search like Walmart or whatever.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I'm gonna do it now, give it, give it. Okay.
So I'm gonna do I'm gonna do Eddie because.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We don't email, right, and everything is just like a
one I need this call.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
So I have all of Eddie here now if I
wanted to delete them all, and there's a lot of
videos because the only thing that he will usually send
me is an a video.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
It says, click the checkbox and the top left. There's
so I mean you do the you select all the emails.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Right, okay, control A got it?
Speaker 3 (30:52):
And then do you choose select all conversations?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I I okay, so I did all. It's all in
a control aid. Yeah. I don't see that option. Uh
oh bro, I don't know customer service. Well. No, I
feel like I'm pretty mm hm tech savvy. I'm pretty
technologically intelligent. There are times, though, where I start to
(31:21):
feel like those old people. They're like, ah, what is this.
I'll even have to go to Mic sometimes go what
do I do here? And I try to keep up.
Yeah I don't see that, but that doesn't mean is
it one of the drop down like mail file edit?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Let's see. Now we're doing it together. So I've deleted
it all. No, No, I've I've control a. I have
a bulk Actions that was my nickname in high school,
Bulk Actions.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
Name.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's okay, I'm good. I'll just check it out later.
I just have to do it one at a time.
I just hope somebody. Are you sure you want to
delete these one hundred and six messages? Yes? Delete, there
you go, all those are gone with you. Okay, but
now I have to go to delete it and do it.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Are there any emails though that you ever go back to?
Speaker 3 (32:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And that's what's funny. Yes, occasionally, but not enough for
me to keep one hundred one thousand emails. Sometimes Mike
and I have data Fridays, I'll go and look at
old data, even though the new data reflects it. I'll
go and look yes, yes, yeah, And sometimes I'll track
down an old video or something. But for the most part, now.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
I know it's just like it's almost like cleaning out
your house like closet, like ooh, but I still want
to wear that shirt.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
A couple more of these. That people once believed asbestos
was a miracle material. Damn, that's crazy, and it was.
You know the problem with asbestos cast cancer. Well, yes,
but when it broke up, when it was broken together
as a unit, asbestos was great. So as fireproof, it
was durable, it wasn't expensive. You could put it in
(32:58):
your home to do lots of stuff to insulate ceilings
and workplaces. They didn't even know about the health consequences. Now,
my step dad's dad, so my step grandfather. The reason
I know about this is that his lungs from years
of working with asbestos had limited capacity because once the
asbestos was broken, he'd breathe it in, it would go
into your lungs, couldn't get it out. It would fill
(33:19):
up that lung space.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Educate me, where in a house would it as best
to be like part of the wall insulation. Oh okay,
so the pink insulation in your between your walls.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I'm sure that's not every place it was, But for me,
that's what I knew it from because he did insulation.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
So when you were gonna demo a house, demo demolition,
that's what it would have. If you're putting it in
or taking it out, you break it up and then
that's when everything would flap in the air.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Wow, it wasn't that it was a problem untouched. It
was that when it was cut or drilled or broken,
or if it just got old and the deterioration of it,
that's when they called it disturbed asbestos. Asbestos however you
say it. It's like diabetes. It would get in the air. Yeah,
(34:05):
people would breathe it in, so having my grandpa, and
it would lodge in the lungs permanently. And so when
it lodges, it takes up space. So therefore you don't
have enough space to breathe or as much space to breathe.
That's how that's how you lost your grandpa. It was
a part of it. Lung cancer also happened from it, scarring.
For the law, they called it asbestosis. Your lungs will
(34:27):
get scarred from it, and yep, that is a kind
of answer. Yeah, good job on that word. So there
were no symptoms with him for two decades, but it
was building and that was the case. Yep. And so
that was something that people just thought, this is amazing, gosh,
and they didn't know about it forever. Maybe the craziest
(34:48):
one that in the cigarettes. The cigarettes, for sure, it's crazy.
I'm gonna end doctors endorse in it. Yeah, I'm going
to match that. Blood letting is wild to me? What
is that? So I'm taking talking probably mid eighteen hundreds,
I think it stopped. But for hundreds of years they
believed if you were sick, you just let out the
(35:09):
blood because that held the sickness. Those like dirty blood
or something, so you get rid of the blood. Wooh
so and they did this for thousands of years.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
They believed that removing blood could cure a disease because
the disease was in the blood. So if you just
remove the blood, you're removing the disease.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
I mean they were half right right. The disease isn't
the blood, but you still need the blood to live.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
The disease was sometimes in the blood, but you always
needed the blood to live, always needed it. And if
it was in the blood, it was in all the blood. Dang.
And so they would release blood thinking they were releasing
the disease.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Those were hard times. Man, you just trusted somebody that
said anything, and you're like, well, everyone's doing it, but
also everyone's dying after twenty years of living.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Do you ever see the masks from doctors one hundred
years ago with a big nose on it? Oh?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah, I know the doctors wore that. I thought those
were like gas masks because I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
They looked like birds. So when they were doing like surgeries,
they would wear those. No, not really during surgeries, but
when I think of like plagues, Yes, the doctors would
wear those to just identify who they were. Those are
like so creepy that I'm wondering who picked that. It's like,
what's the creepiest thing we could put on us? Yeah? Yeah,
(36:26):
it does look like a kind of a big, gross bird.
See why did the doctors wear those bird masks back
in the day. Let's see what it says. I wonder
they were called plague doctors during outbreaks of bubonic plague.
The birdlike beak wasn't just for looks. Doctors the time
believe disease spread through bad air. They thought foul smells
(36:50):
actually carried illness, so they stuffed the beak as a barrier. Wow.
Lavender rose petals meant clothes. The idea that herbs would
filter the poisoned air before the doctors breathed it, so
that was so.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
It was so it was long because they wanted it
to have room to put stuff in.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
It is a barrier, that's crazy to their nose. Wow. Yeah.
The only time that I remember seeing it is plague.
I thought maybe all the doctors wore them, but it
was plague plague stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
They like, you know, any kind of gas warfare.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, those are actual gas masks, which that's what a
gas mask is, putting barriers out. It's you don't think
that though.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I still thought that that, like a bad smelling thing
would make you sick, like dead body, right, the smell
of a dead body. I always I still feel like
if you smell too much of the dead body, like
you're gonna get something bad in you.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Mhmm. If you smell a fart, you're actually take that's
part of it's microscopic.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Right, Yeah, I don't like, don't be sniffing the fart.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I'm not gonna take this as medical knowledge from you
keep saying this, but I do understand the logic out there.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I just feel like, if it smells bad, you probably
shouldn't be smelling too much of it.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Maybe it's so microscopic they feel like it can't hurt you. Yeah,
like it could be so small that you can smell it,
but not enough of it to smell to actually hurt you.
I don't have it.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
I don't know, but you're Do you like the smell
of gasoline?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah? I love it.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I did too, And I feel like all the years
of us smelling gasoline is probably gonna catch up to us, because,
like I do, I would pump and be.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Like, oh that's no, you have a problem. That's a problem. No no, no,
like no, yeah, no no. I like to smell too,
but that's called huffing gas, like all that chemical smelling stuff.
I love the way it smelled.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome back to
the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Here are four things that I think we're doing now
that I think we'll look back at in five, seven, ten,
thirty years and go, what the heck were we thinking?
Let's go. Number one. The easiest is the ultra processed food. Gosh,
that's so bad. I think in twenty fifty we're gonna
look back and go all those chemicals in the ingredients
(38:59):
that we made about not even knowing what that meant.
That was what was killing us. That was what all
the all the cancer was coming from.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The problem is that we it's so normal.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
It's so normal.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
We've been doing it for so long to just eat
a bag of chips. But it's not good, you know.
And even now that we have the information of knowing
it's not good, we're still like, but I've been doing
it for.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
A long time, and it's convenience. Yes, it's easy, don't
have to cook anything. You know, it's hard growing your
own garden and slaughtering your own animals. Yeah, but is
that probably what's going to allow you to live longer. Yeah. Yeah,
But all those ingredients in the back of a bag,
we don't know any of that means we're eating it
like I am too. I'm not preaching don't do it,
because I'm doing it a lot too. I think that's
(39:49):
the first one. We will look back on our entire
society and the FDA and go, we can't believe they
allowed that. I hope you're right.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I hope that we get to a point where we
do look back at it, because it seems like we're
never going to get there.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I hope you dance. I hope, I hope when one
door closes, window open.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Do you know what I'm saying? Though, Like, I don't see,
and we will get there unless, I hope.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So we will get there unless a comet blows us up,
we explode, our aliens kill us. But you just have
to because it'll get so bad they'll have to fix itself. Yeah,
driving your own car, how do you mean? I think
we will. Civilizations thirty forty years from now will look
at us driving our own cars now as we do
(40:36):
people that didn't have seat belts. Then interesting because I think,
as crazy as it sounds, self driving cars will become
more dominant. They're already happening at a level. Even in Nashville,
where we live. Waymo's are normal now. Even eight months ago,
way Moo's were not normal. It was crazy to think
of a car driving around without people in it. Now
(40:57):
it is every day, and it's taken that long to normalize.
So I think we'll look back at us driving going, Wow,
we let humans just drive their own cars drunk distracted? Yeah,
and there are nears any recks. There's many debts with
all the self driving. Yeah, I think manually driving a
(41:20):
car at seventy five miles an hour will be insane
to kids in thirty years.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
And I feel bad that I'm not going to be
a part of that one because I would love to
never drive.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Why in thirty years, you'll probably be a live in
thirty years, Oh dude, I mean, oh uh, thirty years.
I think in thirty years, no one's going to be
driving a car a pretty soon. I think just think
about what I said a minute ago, six months ago,
Steven seeing aweimo in a city, we'd have thought there
is no way that's crazy. I think if you're just
gonnat me guessing thirty years, sixty five percent of cars
(41:51):
will be self driving. Wow, okay, sixty man, But sixty
percent is still.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Like, like, who's still going to be driving? Like, how
do you like people that are stuck? Like, ain't nobody
in no one machines gonna drive me?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I ain't wearing no seatbelt? Right, Like, who's still going
to be driving? I feel like they need to be
a all right, no one's driving anymore? Yeah, you won't
be able to do that though. I think who will
be driving or people that have cars that are grandfathered in. Okay,
so right at that point where cars are still allowed
to have drivers, I'm just going from what I think
those are the cars that will still be allowed to
(42:24):
be on the road because you can't do it all
at once, because you have well, you have car companies,
the lobby politicians, yes, because they're not going to lose money.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Man, I still think it's it's I still think that
the mix of driverless cars and humans driving is where
the danger is.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
The danger is I think just the humans part of it.
Computers glitch sometimes two and humans glitch way more than
computers do.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Right, if they're all self driving cars, let's go.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
And there's often the argument whenever a new story of
a self driving car hitting person or causing a wreck,
and that's a new story. Like look, we told you
if it was a new story every time a human
hit a person in a car or caused a wreck,
it'd be one hundred new stories in every town every
single day.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
You're right, it happens way way more than we know. Yes,
but you know what they don't see, like like what
we experience in San Francisco, being in the way Moo was.
They don't see an officer directing traffic, you know, like yeah,
well yeah, not yet. But they don't know that the
guy's saying go, or the guy saying stop, or the
guy's going go to the right.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
Well, things are going to have to be acknowledged. They
don't know so they can know them, right, So they
launch them in places like San Francisco. So I would
think in a year if that were the case here,
it'd be fixed here because they they'll fix that problem.
But I think people will look back and go. I
can't believe they like idiot humans drive cars. You know,
I'm a whole bit on. I can't believe two yellow lines.
I'm trusting two yellow lines to keep that guy from
(43:52):
crashing into me. No, I think about it all the
time now since you've said it, those two yellow lines,
I'm just trusting it. Those two on the ground, no
barrier at all, are keeping that person who I've never
met him my life, who might be drunk, distracted, high,
the kids crying in the back, or he wants to
kill himself yep, or kill somebody else, or from crossing
six feet and killing yep. It's such.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
It's a line, it's wild.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I should make some jokes out of that, because it's
kind of a bit, but I really don't have any
jokes there, right, Like, how do you laugh from that
alcohol being the default social activity. I think, well, in
twenty years we'll look back at and go, that's insane,
because now putting alcohol in your body's poison. It's poisoning
your body. It's the same thing in respect as putting
in all the food we talked about earlier, the ultra processed,
(44:33):
and the more you read about alcohol, yep, makes you
feel fun. It's fun, it lightens it up, but it's poison.
And they're now finding ways that alcohol is absolutely contributing
or causing cancer, which really wasn't the story for a
long time. And there are so many alcohol commercials on television.
It's going to be looked at like cigarette commercials on television. Wow,
they had cigarette commercials on television. They had alcohol commercials
(44:55):
on television. I think that will be looked at in
the future as that's crazy. We're already seen.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
I mean I already know personally more people that I
talked to that used to drink a lot that don't
drink anymore.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
The last one I have is disposable everything. Oh, everything's disposable. Well,
we have disposable wipes, disposable diapers, Yeah, disposable whatever it is.
Plates Forks said, I went to wipes obviously first, could
have a baby. A baby's last. I think just creating disposable,
one use, single use, that's we're going to go. That
(45:30):
was wild, how wasteful and how terrible for our environment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I think when we're like and you can't go anywhere
without seeing like a piece of paper or like a cup,
that's what we're going to be.
Speaker 1 (45:43):
Like, this is bad.
Speaker 6 (45:44):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
This is the Bobby cast. The other one was I
think college costing people tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
We're gonna look back and go, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
Yeah, what about college.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
I think they'll always be a knee for higher education,
depending on what you want to do. I think we're
already seeing though that every job doesn't need college, every
person doesn't need college, and to take out loans depending
on your career. I feel like at times it's probably
not the smartest thing to do, but a lot of
other countries college is free. And think about if we
(46:20):
charged for high school. Oh my gosh, yes, that'd be amazing.
Like we don't charge for high school. I think if
you go to college in a perfect world where we
had health care, which we don't. We're the richest country
in the world, we did not have good health care
or any Yeah, we also don't have education paid for
out of high school. I think college should be paid for.
If we actually cared about our citizens, we would pay
(46:42):
for college, we'd pay for health That would be great.
And then it's your choice to go or not. Yeah. Right,
And if you don't go and prove that you want
to be there, we don't pay for it anymore. Correct.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
And I still I do think there's a lot of
people that would just opt out, be like, you know what,
it's not for me, I don't want to go.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
I think a lot of people should opt out. I
have friends that you have friends that have degree to
look back and go. Man, I took out a loan,
I could have got started in my job, my profession
earlier and got ahead. But not for It's not for everybody.
I think we'll look back at that and think that's crazy.
A good one. The final thing I want to do
is with Mike, and I encourage you guys to check
out movie Mike's podcast. And so Mike's been going to
(47:18):
those movies that costs like five dollars to make, and
then they're making They're making a couple of them, right. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (47:23):
Obsession is probably one of the best movies I've seen
this year. It's about this guy who is totally into
this girl. She doesn't like him at all, and he
gets this thing called a one wish wallow that grants
you any wish, any wish to come true. So he's like,
I want this girl to love me more than anybody
else in the world.
Speaker 4 (47:37):
And then it comes true. But she becomes obsessed with him.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
So he got one wish of anything, anything, and he
chose it on a girl.
Speaker 4 (47:44):
Yeah, he didn't know it was gonna work.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
I guess that's a good point. If it was a
genie talking to me, I would know.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
It was gonna work, That's what I'm thinking, Like, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
So this guy didn't know, and he's like, Okay.
Speaker 5 (47:53):
He buys it at a shop that sells like crystals
and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
He thought it was a kid's toy. It looks like
a kid's toy. God, He's like, I wish she loves
me more than anyone else in the world, and then
she does.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Is it good?
Speaker 4 (48:03):
It's really good.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah, you said it's best of the year.
Speaker 4 (48:05):
Maybe, uh, probably top three right now?
Speaker 1 (48:08):
Is it a five to five?
Speaker 4 (48:10):
No, it's a four point five out of five.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
How much did he spend on that movie?
Speaker 5 (48:14):
They spent about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
make it. It's now made over one hundred million, on
pace to be one of the most profitable movies.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
Is this his first movie?
Speaker 5 (48:24):
Yeah, he's a YouTuber who was doing like sketches. He
was like, had like spots on it's always sunny. So
he was an actor too. But now this is kind
of the model the new film school is start a
YouTube channel, love it, make movies that get people's attention,
get a big studio attention. And now like people are
bidding on him like crazy to do another movie.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
That's really cool, really cool. There's another one. It was
on a message board, the four Chan site, right, and
it's called.
Speaker 4 (48:50):
Like the back Rooms.
Speaker 5 (48:51):
So back in twenty nineteen, somebody posted a picture of
a yellow hallway on four Chan, which is like a
much I would say, like grittyer reddit, like a nerdy read.
Oh yeah, it's like a forum that it doesn't look
aesthetically pleasing. But somebody just posted this picture of a
yellow hallway and another user wrote this little like one
paragraph underneath it.
Speaker 4 (49:09):
That's called a creepypasta, which.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
Is essentially like Internet folklore, just like a ghost story
and just kind of describe like what happens in this
kind of situation.
Speaker 4 (49:17):
And then that became this big Internet.
Speaker 5 (49:19):
Like folklore that everybody just started expanding on, like adding
stories of like what goes on in the back rooms.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
They created these other layers and levels to it.
Speaker 5 (49:26):
And then this guy named Kane Parsons made a movie
on YouTube about that. That blew up has like over
one hundred million views on YouTube. And then the studio
A twenty four said we want you to make a
movie about this.
Speaker 4 (49:38):
He was about to go to college. He was like
nineteen years old. He's like, all right, I'll make.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
A movie instead.
Speaker 5 (49:44):
Has become one of the youngest directors to ever top
the box office. Wow, Like, I've never been more inspired
by anything than that guy.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
Story.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Did they spend like a minimal amount to make that
movie ten.
Speaker 5 (49:55):
Million, which is probably like a lower budget movie, like
I was a normal movie. Now it's probably like in
the twenty five million dollar range about like a typical
movie like a Marvel movie is obviously like two hundred
two hundred fifty, but that's a pretty good amount.
Speaker 4 (50:10):
That's a great return on investment. Because it's now been
number one.
Speaker 5 (50:13):
These movies are beating out Mandalorian and Grogu, Like this movie,
Obsession and Backrooms were number one and two, and Mando
is number three. That's one hundred and sixty million dollar
movie with Disney behind it.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
What's exciting about that is these movie studios don't want
to invest in movies that could possibly miss, which is
why we continue to get sequels, prequels, and spin offs.
But it's showing here that independent ideas can make money
original ideas.
Speaker 5 (50:42):
I think it's showing that you don't have to have
IP you just have to create something that causes like
a conversation, like that's what people want. You want to
go to the theater to have an experience that you
can't get anywhere else because Mandalorian Grogu, you just watched
that on Disney. Plus that is though this has no
immediacy for you to go see that in theaters. But
something like this that is capturing people's attention, has people
talking about it. You go, like, my entire feet is
(51:03):
just theories about both of these movies. People diving into
these world. You have to create that. That is what
is gonna get people to the theater. It's not like, oh,
go watch movies so we experience with other people.
Speaker 4 (51:12):
You don't care about that.
Speaker 1 (51:13):
No, people suck. First of all, they got the phones
on and they're talking, and you know how many yellow
lines you gott drop by where somebody else is in
the crashing? Do you kill you on the way to
the movie?
Speaker 5 (51:22):
Like if I see somebody marketing a movie, like, that's
not how to how to market a movie. You have
to create immediacy, like you need to go see this now,
because if you don't see it, you're not in on
the conversation.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
So what was that one called back Rooms?
Speaker 1 (51:33):
What do you give that one?
Speaker 5 (51:34):
I hardly I give that one three point five out
of five. I think the third act of that movie
kind of fell apart from me. It's also like a.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
Very slow burn because a lot of.
Speaker 5 (51:43):
It is them exploring this world Essentially, it's this movie
that takes place in a furniture store and the guy
who owns the furniture store discovers the secret room through
a portal, and then you go into this portal and
it's just kind of these weird monster like figures, these
like figments of your kind of like weird imagination, and
it's just them exploring.
Speaker 4 (52:01):
It for a while.
Speaker 5 (52:02):
And there's like an entire thirty minutes of the movie
of him just kind of walking around and discovering all
these weird things.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
But that one is cool because of how it came together.
Speaker 5 (52:10):
Yeah, and I just love the It's a movie that
I love the aesthetic of it more the music to it.
But overall, I don't go into it thinking that was
just a great story and I left like really excited
about it. But it's kind of one that I'm like
going and reading all these theories about, so the afterlife
of it is why I find it so entertaining.
Speaker 1 (52:26):
What's the best movie you've seen this year so far?
Speaker 4 (52:29):
So far this year?
Speaker 1 (52:33):
What's a what's a five out of five? Oh?
Speaker 4 (52:36):
I would say that the movie he so terrible.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
You didn't like that one? Were you going in open? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (52:43):
I like anything.
Speaker 5 (52:44):
I love PG thirteen movies that are inspiring to like
kids and families, because I think there is kind of
a lack there. I think that mid budget family movie
is kind of an afterthought with studios, but they can
be done well.
Speaker 4 (52:56):
This is not done well.
Speaker 1 (52:57):
Frand Thim one of the bus lean back and goes,
what about Broadway? I saw, dang, what's that the best
movie of the year.
Speaker 5 (53:03):
The only five out of five I've handed out this
year is Project til Mary, and a lot of that
was the in theater experience because I saw it in
seventy millimeters IMAX, which is like the highest quality you
can see it.
Speaker 4 (53:12):
So I felt like I went to space when seeing
that movie.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
Really and I.
Speaker 5 (53:15):
Read the book too, so I think no, that was
the first time I'd read the book and watched the
movie in a really long time, so I felt like
this big attachment to the story itself. Ryan Gosling is
also my favorite actor, so everything around the experience of
that movie me knowing the story, wanted to see like
how they did it different, how they made it the same.
That's why that was my best movie of the year.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
I watched it too, read the book too. I watched
it at home. I get it four and a half
I think out of five.
Speaker 4 (53:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (53:41):
The only thing that I didn't love about it was
was so long. But I don't think any movie should
be over now in forty five. If so, make two,
put them out at the same time, and during one part.
Speaker 4 (53:48):
Two there you see with that one.
Speaker 5 (53:50):
I saw it went by so fast, like you couldn't
I couldn't feel the two and a half hour runtime.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
I loved it, though, And what I loved about it
most is you can watch it with all for your
kids and your wife and your mom, and all of
you would love it. That's no bad words, no Wieners.
Speaker 2 (54:06):
That's so rare for everyone for your movie. Oh yeah, no,
no, no the Wieners.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
But for all of us to watch a movie where
we can all enjoy it, it's awesome.
Speaker 4 (54:16):
Aside from the drinking. Gah, there's nothing else.
Speaker 1 (54:18):
Oh is that why? It probably got to Pete the thirteen.
Speaker 4 (54:20):
Yeah, they drink at a bar.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
Oh I drink at a bar.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Hey, Mike the seventy millimeter. If I get close to
my TV and watch it like that was the same effect.
Speaker 1 (54:30):
No, if you put your nose on the screen. Whoa
It's like how we would cheat at Duck Hunt on Ane.
We put the gun on the screen to shoot the ducks.
If you do that with that movie, you'll feel like
you're in space. Buddy, all right, thank you all for
