WEBVTT - #512 - HOW HISTORY MISLED US! + Bobby has AI tell him his Strengths and Weaknesses  0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.560 Welcome to episode five twelve. A lot of this is 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.080 just me alone, and then Eddie will be on in 0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.240 a bit because we recorded something called I Think History 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.360 may have misled Us. I mean, things we learned that 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:22.880 are historical that probably aren't right, but they're so ingrained 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:27.400 in our brains that we'll always remember that version of 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.720 history regardless. So we'll get to that in a few minutes. 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.120 I also recorded when I got back from the ACMs 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.120 last week. I know we're a week out now, but 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.720 I'd recorded some behind the scenes stuff that I'll play 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:42.559 for you guys as well again by myself. But I'm 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.279 pretty happy with this episode because I did a bunch 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.000 of research on the history may have misled us. And 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.960 if you like these kinds of episodes, you can let 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.040 me know, or if you hate these kind of episodes, 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.199 you can let me know, because I do care, and 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.640 all you fifty minuts out there, I appreciate that, especially 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.720 when I'm just kind of rolling solo here. I do 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.520 have like four kinds of AI that I use. Grock 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:10.400 which is pretty good, which is the Twitter AI Genie, 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.560 which is really good for some things. I use Chat 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:20.559 GPT for some things, Chat GBT goes wrong a lot, 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.000 but also the most thorough. But I do type a 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.960 lot of stuff into chat GPT about my life just 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.240 so it kind of keeps a record of it so 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.400 well then I ask it questions. It knows a lot 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.800 about what's happening already. It's like if I have an 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:42.400 assistant with me and they're constantly taking notes, keeping notes, 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.160 and so if I'm like, hey, what about this at 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:45.440 this time? What do you think I should do in 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:48.040 this situation? Like I kind of use chat GBT as 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.080 an assistant. I use Genie a lot for research, and 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.400 grock or Google if I'm just online looking stuff up. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.760 That being said, I went to chat GBT, which I 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.440 type a bunch of stuff in about myself, and I said, Hey, 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.640 what are my strengths and weaknesses? And I saw this 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.160 prompt online, so I didn't just go to it and 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.440 ask that out of nowhere, but I thought it was 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:13.240 pretty interesting. I can read you professional strengths and professional 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:21.000 weaknesses from CHATGBT about me. Number one professional strengths. There 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.600 are five of each. Number one relatable communication. You have 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.600 a rare ability to speak in a way that feels 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.760 personal to millions of people at once. Whether you're sharing 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.080 a story, cracking a joke, or giving advice. People connect 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.880 with you because you sound like them, and you talk 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.839 to them, not at them. That's pretty nice. Number two 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.720 self made hustle. You did not inherit fame, you did 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.079 not inherit money. You built everything from the ground up. 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.920 The grit shows in your discipline, work ethic, and the 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.720 loyalty you've earned from your audience. You also understand every 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:58.360 role because you've lived most of them so far. IM 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.000 feeling pretty good right because I'm only doing the strength. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:08.120 Don't worry, we'll get to the weaknesses. Number three multiplatform mastery. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:13.040 You seamlessly jump between radio, podcasting, TV books, live appearances, comedy, 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.880 and digital content. Most people are good at one. You've 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:20.200 turned your voice into a brand across all of them. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.120 Really gassing me up right, feeling pretty good about myself. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.280 Number four high emotional intelligence. You know how to shift 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.720 tone when needed, go from light and funny to honest 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.040 and raw. That emotional range creates trust. It's why your 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:39.800 interviews feel different from everyone else's. And Number five curiosity 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:45.680 and adoptability. You ask them our questions, but you really 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.880 genuinely want to learn that keeps your content fresh, makes 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.200 you easy to work with, and ensures you grow with 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.720 your audience instead of grow out of touch. Number five 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.960 and don't worry weaknesses are coming. Number five is interesting 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.280 because I've never felt like I've actually been in touch. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.080 And there will be times people will say, oh, you're 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.640 so out of touch now because of one thing or 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.040 the other. I've never felt like I was in touch. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.520 I've always felt like I've had like I've always been 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.080 the person not invited, and so I've always had a 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:24.320 peculiar outlook on things, or I hold things against people 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.360 that aren't fair because I didn't have them, so I 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.760 feel like people that did. I've just always felt off. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.800 I've always felt out of touch for different reasons, and 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.520 so as I've become more in touch with some things 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:42.120 like having a family, like having a wife having her family, 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.719 eventually we'll have our own version of a family. Here 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.320 we have the dogs, but they don't even know the 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.479 term family. It's like horse racing not a sport. The 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.120 horse doesn't know what a sport is, and the athlete 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:56.520 can't not know what a sport is, and it'd be 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.280 a sport. I think that's the number one rule. If 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.680 your athlete he does not know what a sport is, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:07.839 it can't be a sport. I digress, But in some 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.640 ways I have grown out of touch while also growing 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:18.320 extremely in touch in other ways. But I've always felt 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.120 like I didn't belong, even as an adult, even five 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.760 years ago, even seven years ago before I met my wife. 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.279 But that's interesting, it would say that. Okay, so let's 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:37.840 do weaknesses Number one. Sleep plus exhaustion equals performance risk. 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.719 Your job requires you to be sharp, funny, present, but 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.359 you're constantly running on fumes. That level of fatigue chips 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.600 away at your mental health, creativity, and long term sustainability. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.920 There are simply times where you're not as good as 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.760 you are at other times because of this. I think 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.520 that's fair. I think where I'm fortunate as I'm able 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:08.359 to lean on others at times. Meaning if we have 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.839 a Bobby Cast and I know I need to sit 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.200 strap in and I got an hour, and the Bobby 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.280 Cast interview process is a very intimate thing because it 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.880 literally is me and one person for an hour, no stopping, 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:29.320 and it's about them. And I've got to, regardless of 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:34.240 how tired I am, listen, think ahead, be curious, or 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.839 at least present as curious. Some are harder than others, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.599 like summer easier than others. But there are times where 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.480 I ain't feeling good or I don't even know what 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.160 I just asked, honestly, and that's when I lean on 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.039 my d Many times, I would say the same with 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.839 Eddie and Amy, and there's a lot of people on 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.640 that show, but I don't lean on the others. There 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.400 are times where I've had to lean on Eddie, especially 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.680 when Amy is gone, when she was physically gone for 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.480 a while because she was going through the drama with 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.320 the divorce which nobody knew about yet, or her dad dying, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.160 or there was a time where I went to Eddie 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:12.400 and I was like, hey, man, I need you to 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.960 kind of be that guy that's just there and is 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.760 present and it's paying attention and can give me something back. 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:25.520 And amian that way most other times. But yeah, there 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.800 are times where I do get so tired, and not 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.320 just from working but also not sleeping, which is awful 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.040 that it does affect my performance, no doubt about it. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:38.880 That is a weakness. Number two, trust plus delegation. Because 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.640 you've built so much by yourself, it's hard to trust 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.120 people with important parts of your brand, for example, like 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.400 hiring ahead of digital. You often default too, I'll just 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:52.120 do it myself, which limits growth and adds stress. Then 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.040 it goes back to number one, which is the stress, 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:01.440 the no sleep. That's really accurate. I've had a hard 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.360 time at delegating. I've gotten better, and I've taken half 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.239 steps back. I've taken two steps forward and two steps back. 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:14.840 We get together the kas attracting no remember that the cartoon. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.560 Think his name was Scat cat Scat cat Cat Scat. 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.080 I don't know him and Paul Abdul, that's a jam 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:22.560 back in the day, back when I was a kid. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.800 But yeah, like I think the hardest part for me 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.800 was when I hired scoop of Steve was actually letting 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:34.480 him run everything. Basically that's not on the air. He's 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.679 handling all sales meetings, he's doing making sure people are 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.120 places they need to be, people are on time, everything, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.120 He's handling all of that guest booking, which I used 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.280 to do all that. Even giving Ray the board was 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.560 hard for me because I'd always run the board, meaning 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:50.800 I sit there with all the buttons to push, all 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.200 the buttons, all the sounds everything. So I've taken big steps, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.160 but yes, when it comes to the brand two or 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.360 three times in a row doesn't go right, I I'm 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.280 just going to do it myself, and then it's hard 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.560 for me to relet it go. So yeah. Number three 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:12.920 weaknesses fear of vulnerability around money. Even with wealth, you 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.160 sometimes fear financial collapse. That fear can make it hard 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.120 to fully enjoy success or take strategic risks that might 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:27.760 be healthy. Number four overthinking intentions. You often wonder why 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.920 people like you. Is it success or is it something deeper. 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.120 That overthinking can lead to second guessing your own worth 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.000 or people's motives in both business and friendships. That's true 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.640 because I never really had people like me until I 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.920 had any success. It wasn't like I was a cool kid. 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:45.880 It wasn't like I was a hated kid. I was 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.520 just a nerdy kid who nobody hung out with. So 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.280 started to have some success, people were like, oh, I 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.079 like to hang out with you. Looking back, I think 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.400 a big part of it now is also that as 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.559 I had success, I was around more people that thought 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.600 like me or about the things that I thought about. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.840 So my perspective was a bit skewed. Because it was Wow, 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.720 this is new, and now people are drawn to me. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.120 It has to be because I'm successful, and I do 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.199 think at times that was a part of it. However 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.280 it was not all of it. What happened was I 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.280 then started to exist in a world that I had 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.560 never existed before, meaning just the media world if it 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.960 was ready or television or podcasting or comedy. But I 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.120 would be around other people that actually enjoyed it or 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.960 did it, and I was drawn to them. They were 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.560 drawn to me, and I think there was probably a 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.520 time where I was like, they wouldn't be friends with 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.839 me if I didn't have success, But in reality we 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.560 were just at the same place because we were into 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:50.760 the same things. And then Number five insecurity about creative validity. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.959 Even though you've written sucessful books, hosted huge shows, and 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.680 built an empire, you sometimes doubt your creative skill. You 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.680 doubt your writing, You doubt your joke structure. Your instincts 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.320 are usually better than the people you're comparing yourself to. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.840 You know, I some some of those that are the weaknesses. 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.680 They did find a way to compliment me still, which 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.960 is pretty nice because they know me. Because my friend, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:16.679 my friend Chack gibbit. So thanks chat Gibbet. So if 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.400 you do use it, and you use it like me, 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.440 I encourage you to ask it that I didn't make 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:26.199 that up. I saw someone say, ask it your strengths 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.040 and weaknesses, and it did. And there's also a lot 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.440 about me online. But it obviously reads all of that, 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.400 so it's not just what I write, but it also, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.280 you know, does searching the web and then it gives 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.080 you all that information. But that was fun, Well, that 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.400 was kind of fun. It was right on. So we're 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.400 gonna do this how we've been misled by history and 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.800 then after if you care, because it's been a week 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.880 at least and I just never had a place to 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.679 release this. So I'm gonna play back for you the 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.120 thoughts and the notes that I took from the ACMs 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.199 this year. All right, enjoy, all right. This part of 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.440 the episode is called we were Possibly Misled. Now Eddie 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.080 does not know anything about this. I brought him in 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.800 just to be my bounce back. 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.360 Hey, I love it when this happens. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.000 Yeah, we've done this a couple of times. One we 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.920 did villains that maybe weren't actually villains. That was good, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.520 like history taught us differently. And this one's mostly about 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.640 situations that were a little creative with the truth because 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.720 we grow up hearing stories that feel like facts. Were 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.920 taught it over and over because our parents and teachers 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:33.440 were taught it. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:37.520 Yeah Christopher Columbus, Yeah, bad dude, real bad dude. Right, 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.600 We grew up thinking that he was the dude that 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:40.640 discovered America. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:42.880 Oh, the guy, and I'll get to him. 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:44.160 Oh he's in the list. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.080 I believe he is. So these stories all feel like 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.120 facts because again they're in our books. Dy'reing pop culture. 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.280 We see a flag, we think of Betsy Ross. Hey, 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.040 well foreshadowing. Yeah, no, you don't know the foreshadow. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.240 But I mean there's something there. Now, does she not 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:01.800 do the flag? 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.840 Well maybe when you eat a piece of cake. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.320 My gosh, Betty Crocker didn't make the cake. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.040 Well I don't think she's even fighting that. She did 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.719 make the cake, really did a great job with it. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.960 So I do want to start with Betsy Ross. And 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.160 Betsy Ross did what. 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.880 Saying, ain't so dude. She made the flag. She sewed 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.400 the first flag of the United States of America. 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:29.000 This is pretty much a staple of American history. Betsy 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:34.880 Ross widowed Upholsterer. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.040 Yeah, did you know that? I mean no, I mean 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.719 I figured since she sowed the. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:43.080 Flag, I did a little background on her in Philadelphia, and, 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.680 according to Lore, sits in her shop as George Washington 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.760 himself strolls in and says, miss Ross, would you create 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:59.200 the very first American flag? She humbly suggests five pointed stars? 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.360 Now not five pointed stars? Five pointed? Five pointed? Oh, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:04.839 five pointed? 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:05.040 Got it? 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.200 Because the star could be I don't know, six, sure, 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.679 I don't know. I have never seen three point stars. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.079 What about ninja star? What are they? 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:11.360 Oh? 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.280 Those are maybe eight? Yeah, she could have picked all 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:15.120 the way around it. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.240 So she suggests a five pointed star because they're easier 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:24.200 to cut. In my mind, I hear as he said, 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.600 it's a great image. But the whole story is almost 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.800 entirely built on a family's story. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:30.520 What do you mean? 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.320 So the first time the Bettsyer hostel appears is eighteen seventy, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.400 nearly a century after the Revolutionary War, so we're looking 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.280 at one hundred years after Her grandson William can be 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.800 told the story. At a historical Society meeting, he says 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.840 his grandmother told him about it when he was a kid. 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.680 There are no official records. There are no letters from 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.720 George Washington, there are no receipts, there are no flags 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.560 that she ever signed. Love Betsy, there's nothing. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.160 There is a painting of her so in the first flag, like, 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.160 did someone just make that up? I can make one 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.280 of those myself right now. Now you're telling me that 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.960 George Washington. There was no proof that George Washington, the 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.480 first president of the United States of America, walked into 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.280 Betsy's upholstery shop and said, make me a flag. 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.480 There is no direct proof like that, and there wasn't 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.440 even a story until one hundred years after the fact. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:18.240 That's crazy. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.680 What we do know Betsy Ross, she was a flagmaker. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.120 She made flags for the Pennsylvania Navy, not for the 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.040 United States as a whole. But the first flag thing 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.560 family lore that is probably national myth. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.320 Question for you, you think Betsy started that? I mean 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.800 say it's false, right, let's just go with a narrative 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.920 that it's not true. You think Betsy told her family 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.200 members like, I'm pull one on them real quick. Hey, 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.320 you know I made the first American flag, right, And 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.720 then all the grandkids and everyone started telling them, then 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.000 this grandson tells everyone or do you think the grandson 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.480 was like, i'll make a good story. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.240 I'm gonna give Betsy the benefit of the doubt, and 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.240 that I don't think she probably was saying I made 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.440 the first, but she probably eventually made some flags, and 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.960 she probably made early flags. And it's easy too if 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.600 you have one of the first flags, or if someone 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:07.800 else made it and took it to her and said, 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.640 could you make a bit of this in bulk. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.120 And you know, bulk not really a term, then I think. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.480 There probably was something based on the things that I 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.440 read that made the family believe she was one of 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.400 the first. And they couldn't prove it, So why would 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.760 you just not go ahead and say she was the first? 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.200 But it was one hundred years after and it was 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.120 a family member. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.400 And listen, don't let a good story get in the 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.080 way of the truth. And that what they say, don't 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:32.440 let the truth get in the way of a good story. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.080 That's what it is. I'm dyslexic. Yeah, just switches around. 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:36.720 Do you like that one? 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.200 That's pretty good. I'm gonna go w she did though, 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:40.520 I'm gonna go she did. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.080 I'm gonna go if she didn't, because it was one 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.160 hundred years until that even existed, that thought existed, and 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.800 it was told by a relative. So many conflicts there. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.160 So I'm gonna go Betsy Ross did not sow the 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.640 first American flag. Probably did so some flags at the time, 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.040 and maybe an occasional American flag. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:03.400 Okay, Vincent van Goh, yes, he cut off his ear. Nice, 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.400 But did he cut it off or did somebody else 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:05.920 cut it off? 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.120 Well, according to the story, he cut it off, okay, 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.520 full ear hawk cut it the ear because he was struggling. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:12.800 I even went to the exhibit. 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.199 What do you mean he was struggling, like mentally. So 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:20.359 that's that's the story. Tortured artist, mentally tortured. So the 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.159 story we know is that Vince Mango is brilliant but 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.280 also very troubled, very unstable. He cuts off his entire 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.560 ear and he delivers it to a woman. I didn't 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.600 know this part. According to the legend, at a brothel. 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.840 Oh there we go, one of those girls at a brothel, like. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.480 Bro don't date a stripper. First thing people tell you 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.880 about going to don't data stripper. That's not what they're 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.280 there for. Come on, man, you know better never data stripper. 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.280 I've heard that from a lot of people. Huh so, 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.119 and that ear was a symbol of pain, love and madness. 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.280 Except well it wasn't true. We've kind of been misled. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:56.240 Oh my gosh. 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.440 Medical records show he only cut off a very small 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.800 portion of his left ear lobe. Dude, that's nothing, and 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:06.960 even that part might not have been entirely self inflicted. 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.080 Historians now argue that it was actually sliced off by 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.200 Paul Galgwin, his friend and fellow artist, during a fight. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:13.800 Nice. 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.040 So, first of all, his whole ear wasn't gone. It 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.840 was a very sliver of his low. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.600 The lobe is the little thing where that hangs. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:22.880 Yeah, well you get pierced. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.040 Yeah, and really I mean people, Yeah, people pierced. People 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:27.520 get those big circle ones. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:34.000 So the two had a notoriously tense relationship. Galgan was 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:38.040 bad tempered, van Go was struggling mentally. After the incident, 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.760 they both covered it up, possibly to avoid scandal, but 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.520 the full ear story took off because it was more 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.840 poetic and he was struggling and he was an artist, 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.439 and it made the Van Go legend grow. It was 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:52.040 click bit, it fit the brand. 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.760 It was a PR move, even back in the Van 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:55.680 Go days, it. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.400 Made his work more valuable because a crazy brilliant man 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.160 is much more interesting than just a brilliant man. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.320 See that is even that's so more impressive than the 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.359 whole ear getting cut off. The fact that this was 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.719 PR and that he knew that it was gonna be 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.080 better for the image. That's next level man. 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:16.440 And we do have records that show it was only 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.520 a little part of his ear lob. So with Betsy Ross, 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.080 we have nothing, yeah, just hearsay, just hearsay to say 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.680 she did it. Here we have medical records to show 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.280 that it was only a part of his ear lobe. 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:30.960 When did When was he alive? 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:31.359 Van Go? 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:34.960 Yeah, I don't know. Seventeen hundreds, I'm guessing he was 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.480 late eighteen hundreds. There you go missed it by one hundred. 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:42.920 So long time ago to have medical records. PR company 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.480 working for him about a. 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.919 Company, but a firm. He died in eighteen ninety. 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.320 He shot himself in the chest. 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.120 He was struggling or did he or did someone shoot 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.200 him because they want to be value records now I'm 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:54.800 making it up. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.680 And him and his buddy were fighting over a chick 0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.000 at the brothel. That's what it was. 0:19:59.160 --> 0:19:59.800 It never dated. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:06.119 Hang tight, the Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:10.720 back to the Bobby Cast. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.119 Correct, I mean that's a fact. 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.640 We love to crown historical geniuses. Yes, Edison, the king 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:24.200 of invention. I watched what did I watch recently? About inventions? 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.160 Because I told you and you had known the answer 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.800 about the horse the first pictures, the first motion picture 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:32.000 was a horse running. Yes, what show was that on? 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:34.800 But I watched some documentary. I feel like it was 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.800 a TikTok It could have been now shows on TikTok's 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:38.160 all blur. 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.359 Also at the beginning of the movie, note by Jordan 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:42.280 Peele's say what they opened up with? 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.840 Yeah, that wasn't it. But I remember the whole thing 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.879 was about Thomas Edison actually just patenting a bunch of 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.960 stuff and said he invented it. Yeah, which was because 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.040 he was a crazy businessman, like a crazy businessman, so yes, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:55.919 which he did that with a ton of things. So 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.879 Thomas Edison was a genius, but was like a b 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.440 business man genius. The idea of a light bulb, which 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.120 was passing electricity through a filament, was already being worked 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.800 on by people like Sir Humphrey Davey, Warren de LaRue, 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.240 Joseph Swan and Britain. Swan even had a working light 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:14.560 bulb way before Edison even said anything about it. 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.080 Who is that Swan? Gosh, that's the. 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:21.160 Guy, Joseph Swan. Edison's real invention was making it last 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.240 longer thanks to a carbonized bamboo filament, and then making 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:28.000 it marketable. He also tried to sue his way into 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.639 exclusive credit, which he did a lot. 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.080 Just now you want everyone to think that he's the 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:34.919 one that invented it. 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:37.320 Man, I watched some documentary about all this and I 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:40.640 do not remember what it is. He fought Swan and court, 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.080 he lost in England and eventually had to merge their company. 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.040 So Edison was smart, but the idea of the invented 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.160 of the light bulb from scratch did not happen. It's 0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:55.320 like giving Steve Jobs credit for creating Apple. Sure he 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:57.520 was one of the people, but he wasn't the code 0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.360 or the computer guy. He was a marketing guy. 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.920 Right, But who do you think of created creating Apple? 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.679 Steve John Steve Jobs one hundred percent? There we go. 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.240 Here's another one. Napoleon was short. 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:09.760 Yes, that's a fact. 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:11.400 Have a Napoleon complex. 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:12.920 Yes, that's a little man complex. 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.040 Right, So it's you're little, so you're going to be 0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:16.760 extra to proved of the world that you're not weak 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:21.119 because you're little. So Napoleon complex does suggest just that 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:25.720 that short men try to overcompensate with aggression. Napoleon wasn't 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:26.480 actually short. 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:27.600 What he was even shortened? 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.600 Bill and Ted's that's true. He was about five to seven, 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:37.480 which was average height for a Frenchman in the eighteen hundred's. Oh, 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:42.160 the myth of his short stature comes from a unit 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:46.800 conversion mistake. First off, French inches were longer than English ones. 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:51.439 That's always my excuse and no, no, no, trust me, and 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:54.359 British newspapers exploited the difference to Mockham, so it was 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.880 bad pr Wow. They were using that to make him 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:01.359 look weaker by being smaller. When he appeared in public, 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.760 he often stood with his imperial guard. What's the thing 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.040 you've seen about imperial guards? 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.440 Uh, they're the ones like they're just the ones like 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.399 then stand in front of the palace. Sure, they're just 0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.919 straight up, they're massive they're huge, so they have on 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.119 all the metal and or the. 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.320 Fatigue type thing, but they're they're massive, they're guards, so 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.280 that would also make him look small in comparison, So 0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.320 it was basically propaganda buy his enemies. He was of 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:32.160 average hied he was five seven. He's taller than Ray 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:38.600 is here on our show and the French to English conversion, 0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:43.639 but again back then average height, so he was not small. 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:47.159 But once they could get that out, they continue to 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:48.639 beat that drum to make him look weaker. 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:51.960 We've been lied to another one or now, of course 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:53.480 I love these I got a couple more. 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:55.440 The Right brothers were the first to fly. 0:23:55.640 --> 0:23:57.320 No, that's that's one hundred percent factual. 0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:58.600 And where did they fly? Do you remember? 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.760 Uh? Yeah, kit Hawk correct, North Carolina. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:03.119 In nineteen oh three. The Wright brothers made history in 0:24:03.160 --> 0:24:04.280 Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.600 It's on the license plate. Still we all thought they 0:24:08.640 --> 0:24:10.960 were the first to fly. Please tell me they're please 0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:12.639 don't say that they're not, and. 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:13.680 Turned into the room. 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:18.439 Gustave Whitehead, Oh, mister Gustave Whitehead. 0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:24.120 A German born aviation pioneer who flew a powered aircraft 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:27.280 in Connecticut in nineteen oh one. Now you say nineteen 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:30.120 oh one, when did the Right Brothers fly Kittyhog, North Carolina? 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:30.920 Nineteen oh three? 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.560 Oh boy, were they there? Did they hear about it? 0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.520 There are newspaper articles from the time describing a successful flight, 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:42.200 eyewitnesses diagrams. You haven't heard of him because the Smithsonian 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:45.320 Institutions signed to deal with the Right Estate. No a 0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:48.679 worrying to credit them as the first in order to 0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:53.160 display their plane. No way. If I were a whitehead, 0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:57.159 I'd be so pissed. They literally locked in the story. Dang, 0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.480 you're giving us the plane. We now say this is 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:00.679 the first place I never flown. 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:06.440 That is crazy, even though Gustav was the first dude allegedly, 0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:08.080 I mean according to yes. 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:10.000 So while Orvill and Wilbur. 0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:14.639 Were for sure pioneers, Orble and Wilburg, it's possible that 0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:19.000 history gave them the gold medal, even though I know 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:20.119 we're second or third. 0:25:20.480 --> 0:25:23.400 This is just like the race to so many things, right, 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:25.760 like all of these that you mentioned, I mean, not 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.240 not every single one, but like the Edison one, it's 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.199 just a race. It's a race to put on the 0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:33.560 stamp and lock it in that you this was your 0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:35.639 idea that You were the first to do this in 0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:39.399 a time where there weren't really there really wasn't documentation. 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:42.639 Even if you weren't, it was just do it and 0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.719 it can be documented so you can show people if 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:45.720 they fight you about it. 0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:47.760 You could have seen it happen with your own eyes, 0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.440 roding your horse to your village cell phone to record 0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.760 it and publish it first. And now you're the you're 0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:56.120 the one that first did it. That's crazy. 0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:57.680 You mentioned Columbus. 0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:02.840 Yes, Christopher Columbus from Spain fourteen ninety two sailed the 0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.000 Ocean Blue. 0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.399 And completely missed what is now the United States. He 0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:11.080 landed the Bahamas and later in parts of Central and 0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.880 South America, but never set foot in North America. As 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:19.400 far as discovering America, leif Ericson beat him there by 0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:23.000 five hundred years. And that's like, that's Canada, that's North America. 0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:24.000 What's his name? Lee? 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:29.159 What Leaf Garrett? Leif Garrett was the kid lou Gar. No, 0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:31.119 Leif Garrett was like the kids singer from like the 0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:35.160 seventies and eighties. Leif Ericson was the explorer, beat him 0:26:35.160 --> 0:26:37.679 by again about five hundred years and landed in what 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:41.160 is North America in Newfoundland, Canada. 0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.160 But so still not America. 0:26:43.240 --> 0:26:46.920 No Columbus got to South America, but leef Erikson beat 0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.520 him to even the north the whole continent. 0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:53.240 So Columbus hit the Bahamas and then went to South America, 0:26:53.800 --> 0:26:58.080 didn't it never even came to America. So well, is 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.600 it is it a case of where they just hit 0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:04.320 land in the Americas since it's North America, Central America, 0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:06.919 South America. It wasn't called that though then Okay, well 0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:08.119 he definitely didn't discover. 0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.960 This because America is named after America of Vespucci, right, 0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:15.399 and it wasn't named that at the time. The people 0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.959 that are already living there the islands where Columbus landed 0:27:19.000 --> 0:27:24.240 his boat, millions of indigenous people they actually discovered even 0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:26.120 that land obviously. I mean they were sure they were 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:28.600 born there. They had been thriving for thousands of years. 0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:30.840 He wasn't even the first European. He was just the 0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:34.199 first on whose voyage was profitable for the Empire and 0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.960 then documented. Well enough there go document said it's just 0:27:37.000 --> 0:27:38.919 going like I did it. You have to put that 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:41.840 stamp on it that you did it. Then history takes over. 0:27:41.920 --> 0:27:43.480 If we just would have had a couple of indigenous 0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:47.200 people with cell phones back then. They could have showed 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:49.960 us he's a bad dude too. They like raped pillage 0:27:50.119 --> 0:27:52.720 that took the land over, But he never was. Columbus 0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:56.240 did not discover America. And if you're like, yeah, you 0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:57.720 went to South America, okay, well then you have to 0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:03.879 count North America and leif ericson found where Canada is. 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:05.920 South America's not think the same content as North America. 0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:07.119 But you can put all Americans together. 0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:12.520 Where do you stand on changing you know, textbooks and 0:28:13.200 --> 0:28:16.040 teachings of all this stuff. The more we find out 0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:17.080 real things. 0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:20.000 Like this, well, I think it's interesting because textbooks aren't 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:21.800 really books anymore. It's all online. 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:22.760 Yeah, I guess that's why. 0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:24.680 So it's very easy to change. And I think since 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:27.760 it is so easy to change with things that are 0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.280 more true, I think we should constantly be evolving our 0:28:30.320 --> 0:28:33.280 truth with the truth. If it weren't a book, and 0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:35.879 you and schools are struggling financially and it's like we 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.520 should change a book every time, I would be like, no, financially, 0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:41.000 that doesn't make sense. Yeah, But I think because this 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.040 can be changed and taught very easily, with a simple 0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:49.480 control a select delete control copy paste from the Yeah, 0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:51.959 I do. I think we're constantly, even in science, we're 0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:53.360 learning things that are different all the time. We change 0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:57.160 that constantly. Yeah, so, yeah, I think so Columbus never 0:28:57.600 --> 0:28:58.240 was in America. 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.400 Yeah, that one. I knew a lot of my blowing 0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:01.440 things in this list. 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.880 Albert Einstein you've heard have you ever heard? 0:29:03.960 --> 0:29:04.040 So? 0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:06.320 There was a couple Michael Jordan didn't make his high 0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:08.000 school basketball team. You ever hear that one? 0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:08.800 You ever heard that? 0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:10.280 But he was in like ninth grade. They'd leave out 0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.560 the stuff. Yeah, and that Albert einstein Feld math. 0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:13.880 I've heard that. 0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:16.480 Yes, so I've heard that too. It's like, don't worry 0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.720 if you're bad at math. Einstein Feld math too. 0:29:18.840 --> 0:29:19.880 Hey, that sounds good. 0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:23.040 It's a very comforting story, but it's completely false. Einstein 0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:26.000 was Einstein was a math prodigy. At twelve, he was 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.280 studying algebra and calculus on his own. At fifteen, he'd 0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:32.560 mastered college level geometry. The myths started from a misreading 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.360 of a school transcript in Switzerland. A one was the 0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.000 best grade and six was the worst. Someone reversed and 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.400 thought it was different, and they thought the high was 0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:41.440 the low and the low was the high, and they 0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:42.920 saw the low, which was actually the high, and they 0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:47.480 gave them the low. So Einstein didn't fail math. Yeah, 0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:50.720 your math problems or your math problems regardless. 0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:54.080 Leave Einstein out of this. Yes, the crazy too. Did 0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:56.640 you know he died in like the fifties. Yeah, Like 0:29:56.960 --> 0:29:59.760 you think of Albert Einstein and this is he probably 0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.520 hung out with Tomas Edison. Not true. 0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.320 The two I think of in that world are Einstein 0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.720 and Pablo Picasso, because he sounds like some fifteen hundred. 0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:09.080 He was big in the sixties. 0:30:09.120 --> 0:30:11.040 He died in like the sixties and seventies, maybe even 0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.080 nineteen seventy eight or something that's. 0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:14.000 Crazy seventy three. 0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:18.520 Yeah, but Einstein, I knew. I've seen him in enough 0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:21.520 black and white pictures. But secondly, whenever we watched that 0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:24.160 movie that was about the atomic bomb, Oppenheim, Yeah, terrible. 0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:25.600 He was basically in it. I was good. 0:30:26.440 --> 0:30:27.800 Too much dialogue for my taste. 0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:30.080 I'm gonna bring out Marie an Toinette again because we 0:30:30.120 --> 0:30:32.040 had talked about her before where she's a villain and 0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:34.160 I'm like, I don't know, guys, she came from a 0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:37.960 bad situation, and so her line let them eat cake 0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:39.760 is basically. 0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:43.280 Snob let them eat cake. 0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.080 Like snob central. The phrase first appeared in a book 0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:49.360 written before she was even queen, that let them eat 0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:52.240 cake phrase, and it was attributed to an entirely different 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:55.080 French noblewoman. Historians believe it was usual as propaganda during 0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:59.360 the French Revolution to vilify her. Marie Antoinette was out 0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:02.880 of touch. I can agree with that because she was rich. Well, 0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:04.640 she wasn't until she married in to a guy she 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:06.560 didn't even want to marry. She was a kid ripped 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:10.080 out of her home. But the cake quote was slander, 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:13.080 invented to chop her head off, because that's what happened. 0:31:13.120 --> 0:31:13.880 They chopped her head off. 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:15.160 Oh they're brutal. 0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:18.320 Back then, I have two more. 0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:20.800 They would chop people's heads off, and it was an 0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:22.520 event on a whim, But I also want a whim 0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:25.920 like that too, Yeah, like I'm the king, I don't 0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:26.560 like you. 0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:29.240 You littered bad shirt chopped their heads off. 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:31.640 Because it also too was entertainment for the whole town, like, hey, 0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.400 they're gonna chop someone's head off at noon, let's go 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:35.200 I know, yeah, good point, And they all watch it. 0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:36.040 Like it's a super Bowl. 0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:39.120 Yeah, good point. I wonder if in like one hundred years, 0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:41.920 it's like, yeah, they got into a stadium and just 0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:43.560 ran each o their head first and gave themselves brain 0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.000 damage over and over and fifty thousand and seventy thousand 0:31:46.000 --> 0:31:46.720 people watching. 0:31:46.480 --> 0:31:48.560 Them were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, they would eat chicken 0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:49.440 wings while watching this. 0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:54.680 Yeah, while watching people damage their brains. Shakespeare, I'm a 0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:58.000 big believer that Shakespeare was a complete fraud. What do 0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:01.240 you mean, I've heard these stories forever. It was a playwright, 0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:06.280 I don't think. First of all, if you look back 0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:09.400 at Shakespeare, nobody in his whole house could read. Oh no, 0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.000 he couldn't read. He wasn't like from a rich parts. 0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:13.440 I didn't have good, good education. 0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:14.680 Okay, so. 0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:18.600 This is a big rabbit hole. One and a bunch 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:20.240 of really famous people have spoken out about this. To 0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:22.280 even Mark Twain, who's not alive now, was like, Shakespeare's 0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.000 a fraud. He said that, yeah, but also that could 0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:26.120 have been hater from. 0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:27.920 From author to Oh yeah, yeah, that could have been hater, 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.400 Like plays are trash. 0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:31.840 It's like Drake and Kendrick. 0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:34.239 Yeah that was the first, but one was alive and 0:32:34.280 --> 0:32:36.960 then one wasn't. But when I say Shakespeare, what do you. 0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:40.200 Think Roman and Juliet wrote it? 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:44.479 So playwright invented hundreds of words too, like phrases, new words, tons, 0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:47.880 and I can't Michae, will you look up all the 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.880 words that Shakespeare invented? Finger quotes you think, you think, 0:32:50.920 --> 0:32:52.400 but they were put into his play. So but but 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:54.080 these were like crazy words we use all the time. 0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:56.719 Now you think he'd be proud of cap No. 0:32:57.480 --> 0:32:59.000 But some of the stuff we use all the time, 0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:01.080 Like what Michael them up? Because I read like twenty 0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:02.680 of them, Like, oh yeah, we say that all the time. 0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:06.600 Let me read this. He had no university education. He 0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:10.200 was born to a glovemaker in Stratford. He wrote detailed 0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:13.520 plays about royalty law, medicine, foreign affairs, ancient history, but 0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:15.640 had no experience of being around it or knowing it. 0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:19.720 So how do you know the integral if you can't read? 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:22.280 So you're not even reading books about it to give 0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:23.360 you all these ideas. 0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:27.080 But he could write, Okay, how can you not read 0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.360 and be able to write? Well, no, no, that's what they're saying, right, 0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:31.080 So what if you had someone else write it for him? 0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:32.360 But if it is out there like a ghostwriter. 0:33:33.520 --> 0:33:36.959 Well, there are people who they think actually were Shakespeare. 0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:39.080 So and I can walk through some of these theories. 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.600 Some scholars argue that he didn't write them at all. 0:33:41.880 --> 0:33:45.200 So there are people Edward de vere the Earl of Oxford, 0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:48.280 Francis Bacon, or even a team of ghostwriters. There's no 0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:52.120 evidence Shakespeare even traveled ever outside of England. Whoa no 0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:55.640 surviving manuscripts in his handwriting. He left no books and 0:33:55.680 --> 0:34:00.400 his will, and the two theories are one. Shakespeare was 0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:05.280 an amagamation of all of these people that would write 0:34:05.280 --> 0:34:07.800 and use Shakespeare because it wasn't looked at as something 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:09.960 that royalty should do, like writing a play was not 0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:17.040 seen like what I compare to now a basement concert, 0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:21.080 a gross basement concert, Like you didn't really do that. 0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:24.719 That's what the peasants did. Now, if you write a 0:34:24.880 --> 0:34:27.320 movie or you're a great writer, it's cool, it's celebrated, 0:34:27.320 --> 0:34:29.040 it's yeah. But it wasn't then. 0:34:29.920 --> 0:34:30.960 Just because it was creative. 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:37.160 They think it was either a person that was royal 0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.839 that wrote and just used Shakespeare so he could get 0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:41.680 it out or she could get it out, or it 0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:43.960 was a bunch of like collective writers, and they just 0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:48.840 use Shakespeare as the person that could publish their collection 0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:51.719 of writings altogether. But the interesting thing, and I don't 0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:55.239 have the exact age on this, but Shakespeare died or 0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:57.719 excuse me, he retired and like at like thirty something 0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.040 and then never wrote again. But the same time, and 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:01.719 there's a couple of these guys that died right around then, 0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:03.200 and they're like, oh, that was a real Shakespeare. Because 0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:06.560 he died and Shakespeare couldn't write anymore. It's a pretty 0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:08.600 common theory that Shakespeare wasn't actually Shakespeare. 0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:09.840 I mean, I can get on. I can get on 0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:12.399 with this one. I mean, I feel like this one 0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:13.759 could totally just be real. 0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:18.000 And again, there was no evidence of him traveling, of 0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:21.080 him having any education learning about law or medicine or 0:35:21.120 --> 0:35:25.920 foreign affairs. Not only that, no books, no handwriting, nothing. 0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:30.279 But why would they choose him to be the publisher, 0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:32.600 the so called owner of these things. 0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:34.359 Could have been a great dude, and they're just like, hey, 0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:35.680 we like them. 0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:36.480 No, not even that. 0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:38.040 It just could have been a very un liked guy. 0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:40.040 I don't have a d at that answer. 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:41.080 That locked out. 0:35:41.800 --> 0:35:43.759 I don't think he made a munch of money. Oh really, 0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:45.440 I don't think I mean. 0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:48.719 Goshn't think about does he have an estate? Like is 0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:50.480 there a public domain? 0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:52.279 By now he's public domain for sure. You can do 0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:55.120 any of that. My words Shakespeare invented some really common ones. 0:35:55.160 --> 0:36:02.800 Also have some phrases, words like addiction, but dazzled, eyeball, swagger, lonely, gloomy, majestic, zany, critic, 0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:06.880 and eventful, and then phrases like break the ice, wild goose, chase, 0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:08.840 Heart of gold, Heart on my sleeve. 0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:11.120 Wow. All that stuff was used for the first time 0:36:11.120 --> 0:36:15.279 in his plays Good Riddance, so so, but dazzled. I 0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.759 like that he invented knock knock? Who's there in a 0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:19.120 pickle cap? 0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:24.240 I'm starting to believe this ain't real lit the Bobby Cast. 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:29.240 We'll be right back. This is the Bobby Cast. 0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:32.640 Okay, I have one more. Who drew Mickey Mouse? 0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:36.919 Walt Disney did. Absolutely, He was the creator of Mickey Mouse. 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.000 He even had a little relationship with him. Sexual No, no, no, no, 0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:42.120 they were just friends. Walt Disney is the face of 0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:44.439 the entire empire. But he did not draw Mickey Mouse. 0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:46.120 He said he did. 0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:50.160 The actual drawing was done by you. It works. Walt's 0:36:50.160 --> 0:36:53.239 top animator and lifelong friend, Disney came up with the 0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:54.960 idea and voiced Mickey, but when he came to pencil 0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:58.120 and paper, that was spelled U be no way. Overtime, 0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.200 Disney became the brand, the icon, the man who made 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:01.960 the mouse, but the mouse was actually drawn by somebody 0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:03.839 who spent his life in the shadows. Yeah. 0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:06.520 See, I believe that too, because Walt Disney's such a 0:37:06.560 --> 0:37:10.239 good businessman. Yes, he was creative or whatever, but he 0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:13.080 built the empire that we called Disney. 0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.320 He built that city. 0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:19.600 You know, like I don't see someone Usually the creative 0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:23.800 isn't the really really good businessman who's gonna create the empire. 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:26.040 This is also a big debate with stan Lee because 0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.080 he's credited with a lot of superheroes. But he comes 0:37:29.160 --> 0:37:31.800 up with the ideas, but he has artists who actually 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:34.200 draw the design, so it's like who actually created them? 0:37:35.160 --> 0:37:38.520 Well, I would say, okay, I'll give a bad, bad, 0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:41.839 bad example my kid's book Stanley Dogg first day at school. 0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:43.480 I didn't draw that crap. I can't draw It's awesome. 0:37:43.600 --> 0:37:46.000 She did an awesome job. I can't when I draw 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:49.080 it. It is crap. Uh, but I don't claim that I 0:37:49.120 --> 0:37:52.440 created the drawings. It even says literally says illustrated by yea. 0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.839 So did they say that in the movies Mike, where 0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:59.960 it's like stan Lee film but also created Spider Man. 0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:01.560 And he came up with the idea he saw a 0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.080 bug crawling on the walls, like they should create Spider Man. 0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:07.040 He went to an artist called Steve Steve Didko who 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.080 actually drew Spider Man. So then they had a big debate, 0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:12.400 and now he gets credited too. It's like Steve Didco 0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.560 and stan Lee, but for the longest time it was 0:38:15.600 --> 0:38:16.239 just stan Lee. 0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:20.399 He deserves to get credit. Stan no Steve gipmoh, did 0:38:20.440 --> 0:38:23.560 go yeah? He credit now but did go yeah? So, 0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:27.800 and I think too, I think some nuance can be 0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:29.960 used in these situations. If stan Lee is literally going, 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:31.560 I can't draw, but I'm gonna give you all every 0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:32.480 little element of it. 0:38:32.600 --> 0:38:34.160 That's how they create comics. He comes up with the 0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:36.560 character and the story, and he has the artist designed 0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:38.359 everything and draw everything like from their own mind. 0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:41.440 Yeah, okay, the artist is absolutely half the creator of that. 0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:43.440 Then he developed what's called the Marvel method, where we 0:38:43.480 --> 0:38:45.640 are like, okay, I got these characters. Here's the idea, 0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:48.120 here's the story. You draw all the frames and fill 0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:48.720 in the gaps. 0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:50.200 So that's a co write. 0:38:50.280 --> 0:38:51.879 But what about like an architect and. 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:56.120 A builder, but the architects as really but also architects 0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:59.880 not getting publishing forever on that house. True, like writing 0:38:59.880 --> 0:39:04.800 a song or intellectual property true, because a building is 0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:06.800 not intellectual property. A building is just property. 0:39:08.239 --> 0:39:09.960 I just feel like that's kind of the thing with 0:39:10.000 --> 0:39:13.400 so many businesses like McDonald's. You're like, I want a 0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:15.600 restaurant with the best fries in the burgers. You're a 0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:16.759 great cook, do that for. 0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:18.440 Me, But you're only doing the cooking though you're not 0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:23.600 doing that. He's creating the character you're talking about. Didco 0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:25.600 DIDCO create actually Drew spider Man? 0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:26.359 Yeah, that's not cool. 0:39:26.760 --> 0:39:31.000 The difference would be without Dico, none of that happens, 0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:33.680 or whomever Dicko is. He's got to find somebody to 0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:36.760 do it, or it never happens. Like writing songs in Nashville. 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.239 Let's say you have a song idea and you're like, 0:39:40.640 --> 0:39:42.399 got acoustic and I've written the whole song and I'm 0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:44.160 playing all the chords on the acoustic and then you 0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:47.279 bring the band in and they're playing little solos over it, 0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:49.839 and what if we change the drums up? You didn't 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:52.960 need specifically those people to do that. But if you're like, 0:39:53.280 --> 0:39:55.200 I have all the lyrics to the song, I kind of, 0:39:55.320 --> 0:39:57.239 but somebody else comes in and goes, you know, let's 0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.000 go this bridge should now be this? What do you 0:40:00.280 --> 0:40:03.200 and what if you didn't start it like this, but 0:40:03.280 --> 0:40:05.520 hit let's use this melody. You're now a co writer 0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:09.600 on that song, sure, because nobody else could have replicated 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:10.759 what that other person did. 0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:11.959 Yeah, you changed the song. 0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:14.680 So yeah, justice for Mike Dicka. 0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:17.080 Steve did go whatever what. 0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:20.960 If we've now gone to fully like dissing him too? Yeah? 0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:22.359 I overrated? What if? 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:25.440 What what if you sit there like what if stan 0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:28.000 you're stan Lee or just go back to Disney you're 0:40:28.040 --> 0:40:30.240 Walt Disney and you're like, all right, I want a mouse, 0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.560 and you sit next to this artist and explain everything 0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:33.480 that this art is different. 0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:35.279 That would be like you wrote the song and you 0:40:35.320 --> 0:40:37.400 have it all, and you have the chords and the progression, 0:40:37.400 --> 0:40:39.200 and you're bringing in players to actually play and record it, 0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.320 but they're adding little elements to it. He could have 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:48.319 got ten different people that were talented as artists as 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:51.480 illustrators to say and do exactly what he did. But 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:53.560 because he didn't tell him exactly what to do, he 0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:55.960 just described his vision and said I need you to 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.640 add because there's so much creative creativity that goes into 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.719 the drawing that he probably didn't even mention. He gave 0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:04.360 a Macro and got Macro and micro Steviet, did Co 0:41:04.480 --> 0:41:06.680 came up with the colors, the blue and the red trade, 0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.520 did cow that's my new justice for give you another 0:41:09.520 --> 0:41:11.520 example place the creator of Pokemon. 0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:13.799 He worked for a company called game Freak, and he 0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:16.440 had this idea since he was a kid. He didn't 0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.240 get really credit for creating Pokemon as far as monetary 0:41:19.280 --> 0:41:21.440 value because he was working for that company. 0:41:21.760 --> 0:41:25.480 They own it, Okay, so I guess I would need 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:25.839 to know. 0:41:27.800 --> 0:41:29.680 He was just an employee there and they're like, we 0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:30.000 need a. 0:41:29.920 --> 0:41:32.400 New video game. So idea, this is different, this is 0:41:32.440 --> 0:41:33.239 what I want to make. 0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:36.040 But he like, it's a bill one of the biggest 0:41:36.080 --> 0:41:37.399 media franchises in the world. 0:41:37.520 --> 0:41:39.560 It's the employee deal though sort of. 0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:45.160 So this is different. If you are hiring somebody and 0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:47.240 they know the intention is to come in and create 0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:50.680 under your umbrella, and whatever you create is theirs. I here, 0:41:50.760 --> 0:41:53.919 here's an example. I work for a company. I create 0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:55.600 all kinds of crap all the time. I don't own it. 0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:56.399 Yep. 0:41:57.000 --> 0:42:01.080 Like I sit here and I create some good craps 0:42:01.080 --> 0:42:03.759 and bad craps and middle crap. My brain is working 0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:07.960 all the time to think of show ideas, concepts. I 0:42:08.000 --> 0:42:12.440 don't own it. So the Pokemon guy, depending on his contract, 0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:15.879 if it was you create for us and we pay 0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:18.960 you and you own it, or you don't, you buy 0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:21.040 buy it, because I do. If I were to quit 0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:24.080 this job today, I cannot. I don't own this audio 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:27.280 because I work for a company. So I would say 0:42:27.520 --> 0:42:29.479 that I don't know his contract terms, but I would 0:42:29.480 --> 0:42:32.279 say that would be the difference in that if it 0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:35.080 were I signed a company with Mike Ditka. What's a 0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:38.560 company called game Freak exactly, it's a different, different one. 0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:41.880 In game Freaks company was, Hey, you're going to come 0:42:41.880 --> 0:42:43.399 work here and you're going to create under us. Any 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.400 electoral property you create under our watch, is we own it. 0:42:46.440 --> 0:42:46.920 That's what he did. 0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:47.880 He created video games. 0:42:47.960 --> 0:42:49.200 Yeah, yeah, but they own it. 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:49.880 They own it. 0:42:50.160 --> 0:42:53.000 Ninety two billion dollar franchise he's worth about ten fifteen 0:42:53.000 --> 0:42:53.640 million dollars. 0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:56.960 I mean, they they probably treated him well, you know, 0:42:57.360 --> 0:42:58.280 got on a parking spot. 0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:00.759 Who knows, I don't know. But still that's that's this, 0:43:01.320 --> 0:43:03.040 it's you know what I would relate it to again, 0:43:03.640 --> 0:43:09.080 and this is controversial, but Cheetos. Oh, I don't know 0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:12.399 that story ahead. I like the janitor that Cheetos. I'd 0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:13.920 be curious to have you tell me that. In a second. 0:43:14.000 --> 0:43:16.720 I don't think he did really well, there's that too, right. 0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:19.960 This first, go ahead? What's the Cheeto story? He the 0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:22.240 legend is that he created Cheetos. He was a janitor 0:43:22.280 --> 0:43:22.520 there and. 0:43:22.520 --> 0:43:25.080 Had the idea for it and flaming hot Cheetoh yeah, 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:26.799 flaming hot Cheetos. That he's like, hey, we have this 0:43:26.840 --> 0:43:30.080 new flavor. We need to bring this to the company. 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.520 And he's been like touring that forever motivational speaker of 0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:36.640 how I went from the janitor to being overseeing of 0:43:36.719 --> 0:43:39.640 Cheetos and creating the flaming hot Cheetos. But really they're 0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:42.040 already working on it, and do we know that? Yeah, 0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:43.759 they were testing it. They even in the movie they 0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:45.640 made about him, they were like, yeah, they were already 0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:48.280 had it in the lab. It was just him more 0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:51.440 so marketing, saying Hey, we have a whole Hispanic community 0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:53.560 that would love this, we should market it towards them. 0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:57.759 Really more than marketing. I didn't even Lengori do a 0:43:57.800 --> 0:44:00.200 movie on that. Yeah, on whose side was she? On? 0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:01.680 Y Janitor? 0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:04.000 Even though it seems to be. 0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:05.520 An act, even though they put that scene in the 0:44:05.560 --> 0:44:07.920 movie where they're actually already testing it and they tell 0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:09.640 them like, we're already kind of working on this. 0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:12.000 But kinda, and he was the one that kicked it over. 0:44:12.040 --> 0:44:13.879 But if and again I would and again I don't 0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:16.200 know enough about it to but if he works for 0:44:16.239 --> 0:44:18.319 them but not in the capacity of the creation, and 0:44:18.400 --> 0:44:20.320 he creates something and they use it, that's different. 0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:22.640 I mean he was employed by Freedom Lay. 0:44:22.600 --> 0:44:25.160 And do you think he gave them like any extra 0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:26.440 they didn't already have. 0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:29.160 Because he was working on it in this kitchen, tried 0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:31.400 all these different formulas and then went to them with 0:44:31.520 --> 0:44:33.120 here is the flaming hot Cheetoh. 0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:35.680 So probably he didn't create the whole thing, but he 0:44:37.000 --> 0:44:40.239 ended up improving their product, which he They probably took 0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:43.359 his intellectual property and claimed they already had it all. 0:44:43.760 --> 0:44:44.960 I'm speculating a guess. 0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:47.120 And then they didn't really tell him to stop like 0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:49.040 spreading this thing. They're like, it didn't really hurt it, 0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:51.560 like if anything, get kind of helped. But later they 0:44:51.560 --> 0:44:53.960 came out and said, like not really true, Like we 0:44:54.000 --> 0:44:56.000 just didn't really see any harm in him doing this 0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:58.279 whole thing. And I would like decide it that he's 0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:00.840 a Mexican guy. It's inspiring to me, but when you 0:45:00.880 --> 0:45:04.240 look at the facts, then really created the story. 0:45:04.000 --> 0:45:07.360 Was that he found a bunch of Cheetos that weren't flavored, 0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:09.879 you know, like the actual popcorn. 0:45:09.320 --> 0:45:12.640 Part before the even the orange or even the cheese 0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:13.239 was put on it. 0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.440 So he had a lot of that, took it home 0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:18.279 and said, let me try to spice this up and 0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:21.600 perfected this flavor that we now call flame and hot Cheeto, 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:23.840 then proposed it to the higher ups. 0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:24.920 They loved it. 0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:27.680 He was already employed, and then they gave him a promotion, 0:45:28.080 --> 0:45:32.439 so he went from janitor to executive but doesn't own 0:45:32.520 --> 0:45:33.200 any I think it was. 0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:36.120 Also like head of marketing something too, and specifically to 0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:37.760 like the Hispanic community. 0:45:37.920 --> 0:45:41.439 Can't two things be true? Meaning they were already working 0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:43.839 on it, and he worked on it himself, not knowing 0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:46.120 they were working on it, and created a really cool taste. 0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:51.799 And what he did actually was a great addition that 0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:53.799 like they learned and were like, oh, wow, this is 0:45:53.840 --> 0:45:55.719 actually good. We can use this as well. And so 0:45:55.760 --> 0:45:57.600 he didn't admit the flaming hot cheetoh, but he actually 0:45:57.600 --> 0:46:01.120 probably improved it. So he didn't create it, and they 0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:04.000 also didn't make him the creator because they could say, no, 0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:06.080 we've already created this. So it seems like maybe he 0:46:06.160 --> 0:46:07.920 got screwed a little bit. But he also got to 0:46:07.920 --> 0:46:09.560 promote like two things can be true at once in 0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:12.439 the situation without knowing enough about it. I would bet 0:46:12.560 --> 0:46:13.200 that's what happened. 0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:15.760 And the marketing of a janitor of creating this product 0:46:15.800 --> 0:46:16.400 is pretty. 0:46:16.120 --> 0:46:18.240 Good, especially if it's a Hispanic product. There are marketing 0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:20.200 to Hispanic people boom, And I don't know if that 0:46:20.280 --> 0:46:23.800 was fully true, was it? Yeah? It was a hispanically marketed. 0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:26.000 The first places they would put it in was Hispanic neighborhoods. 0:46:26.000 --> 0:46:27.799 That's where it popped off first. Yeah, Then if I 0:46:27.840 --> 0:46:31.040 were just guessing, that would be what happened. Because if 0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.640 they were working out and they had proof, great, and 0:46:33.680 --> 0:46:35.239 if he was working on it and he didn't know 0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:40.120 they were great. They probably said, Okay, we can use 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:41.960 this to our advantage and there's something about this that 0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:43.399 we should also use. And then I have to pay 0:46:43.440 --> 0:46:45.000 for it because they can claim they already had it 0:46:45.600 --> 0:46:48.440 because they're not going to show the ingredients, they're not 0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:49.799 gonna show they're not going to show you how they 0:46:49.920 --> 0:46:51.480 made it. They can just say yeah, we're already doing it. 0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:52.920 Then why go back and be like, ah, start is 0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:53.239 that true? 0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:55.120 Because when it becomes a movie, it starts to make 0:46:55.120 --> 0:46:58.040 the company look really bad. It does then get bigger 0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:03.240 because social media year was this when he did it? Yeah, okay, 0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:06.160 so pre social media it wouldn't spread. Who cares? And 0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:06.759 they didn't say. 0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:08.319 Anything until the movie came out a couple of few 0:47:08.400 --> 0:47:08.799 years ago. 0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:11.239 Yeah, because that is a company hurder. That hurts your 0:47:11.239 --> 0:47:11.880 company a little bit. 0:47:12.160 --> 0:47:13.799 It's a good movie. You should watch it now. I 0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:15.879 don't want to watch it. We just did it. 0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:17.920 The one comparison that I was going to make was, 0:47:18.239 --> 0:47:21.080 and it's a controversial thing is whenever an artist like 0:47:21.120 --> 0:47:23.319 a Taylor Swift goes, hey I own my music, I 0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:27.160 created it, and you go And I could go back 0:47:27.160 --> 0:47:30.399 to me here, you wouldn't have been able to create 0:47:30.440 --> 0:47:34.600 that music, nor would it have been as successful the 0:47:34.600 --> 0:47:36.480 way it was. It could have been a different way 0:47:36.480 --> 0:47:38.360 as an independent artist, but even it was impossible as 0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:42.239 an independent artist to make it. Then they paid to 0:47:42.280 --> 0:47:44.399 have the music done and paid you, but they also 0:47:44.440 --> 0:47:46.640 had to pay a promotion team. They also had to 0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:49.359 pay record executives. Yea, they also had to pay a 0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:52.120 ton of money to make that money. So even though 0:47:52.160 --> 0:47:54.879 you create it with your brain, you don't really own it, 0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:59.440 like I don't own many things that I've said, because 0:47:59.480 --> 0:48:03.319 they are paid me to perform this service, which is 0:48:03.360 --> 0:48:10.440 to create using my intellectual self. So if you're like, well, no, 0:48:10.520 --> 0:48:12.160 she created or she owns her own music. It doesn't 0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:13.279 have to be heard. It can be any artist it 0:48:13.280 --> 0:48:16.160 does this. You wouldn't have had that music blow up 0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:17.799 like that had it not been for all of the 0:48:17.840 --> 0:48:20.759 resources they put into the people that were spreading that music. Now, 0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:22.480 it's not to say the music wasn't awesome or wouldn't 0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:25.040 have made it, but in that situation, it that's not 0:48:25.239 --> 0:48:26.640 the world you live in, unfortunately. 0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:27.200 Yeah. 0:48:27.280 --> 0:48:32.040 So if you signed to a label and they pay 0:48:32.160 --> 0:48:36.000 you or pay for the music, to be made whatever 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:38.600 the deals to that contract are. And if you go well, 0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:41.640 so and so Taylor, for example, was a kid, okay, 0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:43.560 but she had her dad who was part of it all, 0:48:43.760 --> 0:48:45.920 and she had representation. It's not like they found a 0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:47.880 kid off the street made or signed papers that's not legal. 0:48:48.280 --> 0:48:52.800 That's literally not legal. So that is that's a problematic 0:48:53.560 --> 0:48:57.319 situation for companies. Yes, to just go well, if they 0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:58.799 created it, they own it, even though the company it 0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:01.800 poured endless resources into it to make it as popular 0:49:01.840 --> 0:49:05.600 as it was. Straight Mike Dica came up, Dude, that 0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:06.080 was awesome. 0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:12.400 Now Sam did go right? Steve did go so close? 0:49:12.480 --> 0:49:15.880 We love Steve Dica Okay, cool, yeah, fine, yeah. 0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:17.520 Man, good list. I like that. Thank you. A little 0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:18.960 disappointed in things that I thought. 0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:20.799 Yeah, it's all sad. Yeah, well I forgot about that part. Yeah, 0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:22.839 we're definitely worse people than before we started, and we 0:49:22.880 --> 0:49:24.040 believe in just a little less. 0:49:24.280 --> 0:49:27.520 But yeah, thanks Hank Tight. The Bobby Cast will be 0:49:27.640 --> 0:49:31.600 right back. This is the Bobby Cast. 0:49:31.719 --> 0:49:36.239 Okay, So it's Sunday as I record this, So as 0:49:36.280 --> 0:49:41.280 of right now we're looking at this Sunday, May eleventh, 0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:46.719 and the ACM awards were at Thursday night. My mine's 0:49:46.719 --> 0:49:50.040 a bit of a blur because we did iHeart Country 0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:52.600 for two days maybe I guess three days in total. 0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:54.759 There was a home for one day and then had 0:49:54.800 --> 0:49:56.880 to go to Dallas because rehearsals were on Tuesday for 0:49:56.920 --> 0:49:59.279 a Thursday night show. But on Wednesday night I did 0:49:59.360 --> 0:50:03.120 a Brooks and Tribute a gala, and that galla was 0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:07.960 to raise money for Lifting Lives, which is the philanthropic 0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:13.400 part of ACM, And so they asked me to come 0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:16.319 and host it and tell some jokes. And I know 0:50:16.360 --> 0:50:23.359 those guys pretty well, so I went roast, and so 0:50:25.719 --> 0:50:27.680 I didn't really know what the room was going to be. 0:50:27.719 --> 0:50:28.960 And I will say when I first went out and 0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:33.839 started telling these jokes, it didn't go as wonderfully as 0:50:33.880 --> 0:50:37.400 my mind told me it might go, because the people 0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:41.279 in the room weren't there to watch jokes. And it 0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:44.920 was following an auction which went on for forever. I 0:50:44.920 --> 0:50:47.520 didn't know that, but the auction was like, all right, 0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:50.000 three hundred dollars, three hundred dollars two and with forever 0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:51.680 people were just ready for that to be over. So 0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:53.240 next thing you know, you got a guy they're talking 0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:57.359 telling jokes, and it was roundtables and the three back 0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:59.000 doors were open, and there was a bar people going 0:50:59.040 --> 0:51:00.680 to and fro the bar. That woe didn't throw me 0:51:00.760 --> 0:51:04.000 off so much, but it was not a receptive audience 0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:11.879 at first. Now where my lack of preparing and being 0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:17.080 a professional roaster slash hoster comes into play is that 0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:18.960 I put all my jokes that I wrote in the prompter. 0:51:20.360 --> 0:51:24.440 Why that's bad is you can't get to the next 0:51:24.480 --> 0:51:26.520 thing to talk about if you don't roll through that thing. 0:51:27.120 --> 0:51:30.200 It's not like a Ted talk or a PowerPoint where 0:51:30.239 --> 0:51:32.840 you can use your thumb and just go to the 0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.960 next joke. There's somebody running the prompter. Because there was 0:51:35.960 --> 0:51:37.279 also some business that I needed to say, and there 0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:39.000 were some things about the ACMs and Ronnie Kick cause 0:51:39.000 --> 0:51:40.719 they wanted me to say, which is great. But I 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:44.640 had like eight or nine jokes written and if I 0:51:44.680 --> 0:51:46.680 thought to myself, well this is not going well, I 0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:49.040 need to abort mission, I couldn't because I couldn't roll 0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:50.520 past the jokes to see the rest of the stuff 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:52.319 that I had to do. So when I went out 0:51:52.320 --> 0:51:55.200 and told these first jokes at first, people were like, dude, 0:51:55.239 --> 0:52:00.760 shut up a couple in I got some good chuckles 0:52:00.800 --> 0:52:04.160 because I committed. I think had I had the opportunity, 0:52:04.160 --> 0:52:06.600 I would have bailed, or if I had to memorize 0:52:06.640 --> 0:52:09.480 the jokes, I would have bailed. And maybe i'd done 0:52:09.520 --> 0:52:12.279 a little later. I don't know, but I didn't because 0:52:12.280 --> 0:52:13.839 I was committed, because they were in the prompter, because 0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:15.880 I'm an idiot, so I can just read you some 0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:19.200 of the jokes from the roast, say, everybody on Bobby Bones, 0:52:20.080 --> 0:52:22.520 you might know me from my radio show winning Dancing 0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:24.759 with the Stars, or how most of America owes me 0:52:25.080 --> 0:52:28.120 the gas station version of Ryan Seacrest, and that got 0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:31.480 a little laugh. But tonight, I'm here as a host, 0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:34.319 and I'm here as a fan, which is why I 0:52:34.360 --> 0:52:37.280 wore clone ironed my pants and text their manager Clarence 0:52:37.320 --> 0:52:38.799 fourteen times to make sure I was still on the 0:52:38.800 --> 0:52:41.040 list to get in. Now, Clarence was sitting right there 0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:45.880 in the front of the stage, and Clarence is their manager, 0:52:46.000 --> 0:52:49.480 kind of famous in the manager world. So I told 0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:50.840 Clarence that I was going to roast the guys a 0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:52.200 little tonight. He gave me in the green light, but 0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:53.960 also mentioned that if I go too far, I may 0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:56.960 not be invited back. So I guess tonight we'll call 0:52:57.000 --> 0:53:00.319 this my farewell set. Oh that didn't go so great, 0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:04.080 probably because it wasn't that funny. I'm not even blaming 0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:08.520 that on the crowd. Too many Clarence jokes, too inside 0:53:08.520 --> 0:53:11.960 and not that funny. But the difficulty in doing jokes 0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:15.040 that are for one event is that you can't practice 0:53:15.040 --> 0:53:18.919 someone anybody like I didn't get to go and before 0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:22.160 I recorded my special, I toured like fifteen theaters and 0:53:22.200 --> 0:53:23.920 I could tell what was good, what wasn't, and I 0:53:23.960 --> 0:53:25.360 knew it would get laughs and what it I need 0:53:25.440 --> 0:53:26.680 to work on because I got to do it over 0:53:26.680 --> 0:53:29.319 and over again. The difficult, but also the thing that's 0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:33.279 the most exhilarating is telling a joke that no one's 0:53:33.320 --> 0:53:34.759 ever heard. But I'm doing like eight or nine or 0:53:34.760 --> 0:53:36.360 ten jokes in a row that no one's ever heard. 0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:40.359 All right, back to the jokes, now, listen, these guys 0:53:40.400 --> 0:53:43.160 are country music legends. Brooks and Done were gods to 0:53:43.200 --> 0:53:45.160 be growing up, But now that I've gotten to know them, 0:53:45.360 --> 0:53:48.440 I've seen things like Ronnie trying to open a PDF. 0:53:49.040 --> 0:53:52.280 Turns out there's still country music gods, but with tech anxiety. 0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:59.279 This Okay, fine, I was wearing Ronnie's jacket. This is 0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:02.520 me talking to you, not the joke. I was wearing 0:54:02.520 --> 0:54:04.560 his jacket from Brooks and Done in like the nineties. 0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:07.200 So when I say that I have on this, yeah, 0:54:07.239 --> 0:54:09.200 there's some kind of patterns all over. It wasn't only flames, 0:54:09.200 --> 0:54:12.000 like vines or something. I don't know. Ronnie also loaned 0:54:12.040 --> 0:54:14.200 me a jacket to wear tonight. That's when I knew 0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:16.800 I'd made it when an actual country legend turned me 0:54:16.840 --> 0:54:20.239 into his fashion charity case. Got a couple laughs. So 0:54:20.280 --> 0:54:24.319 at this point I'm going, I think I can win 0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:29.120 this crowd, and then I go in because the jokes 0:54:29.120 --> 0:54:31.799 go a little harder. I say, speaking of fashion Brooks 0:54:31.880 --> 0:54:35.960 and Done, they do have a style. Some call that 0:54:36.320 --> 0:54:39.040 classic country style, and I agree. If by classic country 0:54:39.080 --> 0:54:44.920 you mean bedazzled youth pastor cowboy, Okay, I got some laughs, 0:54:46.200 --> 0:54:49.400 and I also got a oh like a couple of groans, 0:54:49.800 --> 0:54:55.200 which mean like ooh, like too mean or mean god, 0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:58.279 that's pretty funny. If I classic country you mean bedazzled 0:54:58.360 --> 0:55:01.880 youth pastor cowboy. I liked that joke. I thought it 0:55:01.960 --> 0:55:04.839 was pretty funny. Slightly blow the belt didn't hit him 0:55:04.880 --> 0:55:07.600 in the balls, hit him like on the very that 0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:10.400 I don't know what you call that bone there the 0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:14.759 cosicks right there on that bone above the wiener. So 0:55:14.800 --> 0:55:17.360 they've earned it. Though twenty number one hits. They released 0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:21.840 Reboot and Reboot two. By the way, those were the 0:55:21.840 --> 0:55:23.279 albums that they did with the other artists, and the 0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:26.200 other artists came and sang their songs. Got it because 0:55:26.239 --> 0:55:29.120 nothing says creative like re recording your old hits with 0:55:29.239 --> 0:55:32.480 younger artists. If you can't beat them, do it with them. 0:55:33.440 --> 0:55:36.920 Got a good laugh. The guys even laughed that little bit. 0:55:37.520 --> 0:55:39.080 And then I say, if we get a reboot three, 0:55:39.160 --> 0:55:42.000 we're officially the Fast and Furious franchise of country music. 0:55:42.840 --> 0:55:44.440 That I got a pretty good laugh because there's like, 0:55:44.440 --> 0:55:48.000 I don't know, ten Fast and Furious movies. And then 0:55:48.000 --> 0:55:49.840 I said, I do not want to see Vin Diesel 0:55:49.920 --> 0:55:52.560 on the remix of Red Dirt Road. Got a good laugh. 0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:56.040 So I got like four left in this set, and 0:55:56.320 --> 0:56:01.000 the crowd now understands there's content on the stage, because 0:56:01.040 --> 0:56:02.839 at first I don't think they understood that it was 0:56:03.239 --> 0:56:08.680 more talking. Let's just get to the music. Next joke. 0:56:09.320 --> 0:56:13.320 Four left. The guys say though it's not about money. 0:56:13.360 --> 0:56:16.000 But if you re record your greatest hits twice, it 0:56:16.160 --> 0:56:19.439 definitely ain't about the art. Got a good laugh there. 0:56:19.480 --> 0:56:23.879 Now they know we're in roast mode. Even outside the duo. 0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:27.680 They've been Busy Kicks hosted an award winning countdown show 0:56:27.719 --> 0:56:30.720 on the weekend for years. It was a great show 0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:36.080 for people who couldn't find mine. Boom, big laugh, so 0:56:36.120 --> 0:56:38.000 a little bit had to warm them up a little bit. 0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:41.480 A couple of those jokes a week up front, two 0:56:41.560 --> 0:56:46.520 jokes left, and all seriousness. Brooks and dunshaped an entire 0:56:46.960 --> 0:56:49.799 generation of country music fans. Oh, this wasn't a joke, 0:56:49.800 --> 0:56:51.600 by the way, This was some of the business I 0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:56.040 had to do. Here they're receiving the inaugural ACM Diamond 0:56:56.120 --> 0:56:58.000 Chairman's Award, a well earned honor for a duo who 0:56:58.040 --> 0:57:00.000 made country louder, cooler, and a little more boot cut. 0:57:00.400 --> 0:57:02.440 And then we get to the music. So that may 0:57:02.440 --> 0:57:03.839 have been all the jokes for the first I did 0:57:03.840 --> 0:57:06.520 some other jokes later where I'm it didn't make fun 0:57:06.560 --> 0:57:08.000 of but I did a little pokes at some of 0:57:08.000 --> 0:57:11.120 the people, like when Eric Church writes a love song, Mmm, 0:57:11.280 --> 0:57:14.319 why shoul I remember that joke, and then I introduced him, 0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:19.200 So Eric Church's okay, Keith Urban plays guitar like it 0:57:19.280 --> 0:57:20.960 just stole something from him or something like that. Did 0:57:20.960 --> 0:57:24.680 one of those easy jokes, which was got a pretty 0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:30.160 good laugh when introduced Keith Urban. Eric Church can sing 0:57:30.200 --> 0:57:33.200 a love can make you feel a love song, can 0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:34.840 make you feel a love song and also make you 0:57:34.880 --> 0:57:36.080 feel like you've been in a bar fight at the 0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:38.000 same time, something like that about when Church came out. 0:57:38.040 --> 0:57:41.400 I remember, But those were all the jokes that I told. 0:57:41.520 --> 0:57:44.640 I had another like eight or nine that I made 0:57:44.680 --> 0:57:49.880 about each of the artists, which were Landy Wilson, Eric Church, 0:57:50.200 --> 0:57:57.480 Keith Urban, Zach Topp, Cody Johnson, Pretty Start starts out 0:57:57.480 --> 0:58:00.480 at night, Megan Maroney, who's awesome. The way I'll say 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:03.680 this about Meghan Maroney, I like Meghan a lot. She's 0:58:03.720 --> 0:58:07.120 super funny, and I guess I did. I knew she 0:58:07.160 --> 0:58:10.040 was funny because there's Bobby Casters there. You should look 0:58:10.080 --> 0:58:11.840 it up. It was really one of the first interviews 0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:15.200 she'd ever done, and I could tell then she's a 0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:17.680 little funny, but she definitely didn't have the confidence that 0:58:17.720 --> 0:58:22.080 she has now. And we sat for like twenty twenty 0:58:22.160 --> 0:58:26.040 five minutes before that, just in the green room, Uh, 0:58:26.400 --> 0:58:28.520 Meghan and myself and then Cody Johnson came in for 0:58:28.560 --> 0:58:30.920 a little bit and we all sat around and you 0:58:31.040 --> 0:58:32.320 have heard me mention this. I guess there's like a 0:58:32.360 --> 0:58:37.680 code or something where like all managers leave, Like my 0:58:37.840 --> 0:58:41.280 team walked off to another corner. It was just us 0:58:41.280 --> 0:58:43.040 three talking. I guess they were like giving respect to 0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:44.360 the people who are about to go on and perform. 0:58:44.360 --> 0:58:46.040 I know, I thought it was cool, but we just 0:58:46.040 --> 0:58:48.240 all just kind of talk. Megan and Maroney's freaking hilarious. 0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:50.480 I don't really know because I see her on social media, 0:58:50.520 --> 0:58:51.880 but I don't follow her close enough to know how 0:58:51.880 --> 0:58:54.360 funny she is online. But yeah, when it comes to 0:58:54.400 --> 0:58:56.080 fun she was telling some really funny stories that I 0:58:56.080 --> 0:58:57.600 I will not tell because I was in that pride, 0:58:57.720 --> 0:59:01.520 but funny, they like really funny. ACMs were the next night, 0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:06.280 And what was kind of weird about the ACMs for 0:59:06.320 --> 0:59:08.240 me was my third year doing the show on Amazon 0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:11.240 and you're one in year twopics backstage and when someone 0:59:11.280 --> 0:59:13.720 to win, they'd come backstage, I do a little minute 0:59:13.760 --> 0:59:17.440 hit with them, talk to them. They'd leave, But I 0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:19.520 kind of knew who was coming and it kind of 0:59:19.600 --> 0:59:22.920 knew what the producers wanted me to ask. Now, this year, 0:59:23.000 --> 0:59:25.760 Riba was hosting, and they were like, Heyribe doesn't want 0:59:25.760 --> 0:59:28.080 to leave the stage and think about Riba. She's always 0:59:28.080 --> 0:59:32.480 known for tons of outfit changes. So those times were 0:59:32.600 --> 0:59:35.200 used for Riba to get ready for whatever she was 0:59:35.240 --> 0:59:38.400 doing next. Because she performed as well she hosted, she 0:59:38.640 --> 0:59:40.800 dead did outfit changes, all the stuff that Reban normally 0:59:40.800 --> 0:59:47.160 does wonderfully. So they have me in the audience with 0:59:47.680 --> 0:59:50.280 no direction, and I mean that in the most complimentary 0:59:50.360 --> 0:59:52.800 way as to They were like, hey, just do what 0:59:52.840 --> 0:59:54.919 you do. And I'm like, what does that mean to you? 0:59:54.960 --> 0:59:57.560 Like do what I do? And they're like, you know, 0:59:57.840 --> 1:00:00.160 we'll give you a couple of things to say that 1:00:00.560 --> 1:00:03.880 you know how to get out. But talking to the camera, 1:00:04.000 --> 1:00:07.280 talk about the show, talk to people in the crowd. 1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:10.520 It's a big boost of confidence because I don't only 1:00:10.680 --> 1:00:13.280 know them as far as country music know them. I 1:00:13.320 --> 1:00:17.000 only know them from TV know them, and they're like, 1:00:17.240 --> 1:00:18.959 you do what you do. And I had like five 1:00:19.040 --> 1:00:22.120 segments through the two hours, and so that's pretty good. 1:00:22.160 --> 1:00:24.000 And each of the segments was like a minute minute ten, 1:00:24.240 --> 1:00:27.960 which is a long time on television, and there was 1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:32.040 no script even during rehearsal. We didn't do it up 1:00:32.080 --> 1:00:34.439 to time because all the artists would rehearse their song 1:00:34.520 --> 1:00:36.760 up to time. We even ran the full show. But 1:00:36.800 --> 1:00:39.240 for me, when I was rehearsing, there was nobody in 1:00:39.280 --> 1:00:43.400 the seats, so I could really couldn't rehearse anything because 1:00:43.400 --> 1:00:46.840 I didn't know what I was gonna do. So the 1:00:46.880 --> 1:00:48.400 show starts and all like, all right, here we go. 1:00:49.240 --> 1:00:51.080 We go out, and I thought it'd be funny to 1:00:51.120 --> 1:00:53.760 get Jelly Roll to sign a can of jelly, so 1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:55.720 I'm gonna keep that in my back pocket. Luckily it fit, 1:00:56.120 --> 1:00:57.360 and so I go out. In the first segment, Jelly 1:00:57.440 --> 1:00:58.880 Roll is actually sitting right there, and I was like, oh, 1:00:58.880 --> 1:01:01.480 we're gonna do this now. Then up segment number one, 1:01:01.880 --> 1:01:04.360 I took a sharpie and I blacked out the smuckers. 1:01:04.440 --> 1:01:06.280 They didn't tell me too, There was no brand deal. 1:01:06.360 --> 1:01:07.760 They didn't even know what I was gonna do. That's 1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:11.640 the thing, that little bit, little corny bit. I didn't 1:01:11.680 --> 1:01:13.320 run it by anybody. I don't know what they would 1:01:13.320 --> 1:01:15.000 have said, but I just put the jelly in my 1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:16.520 pocket and walked out and said Jelly roll, will you 1:01:16.560 --> 1:01:20.000 sign it? And he laughed, crowd went crazy. He signed it, 1:01:20.320 --> 1:01:21.919 and then I went to look for Keith Urban because 1:01:21.960 --> 1:01:23.440 the teas that I had to do, like the one 1:01:23.440 --> 1:01:25.600 piece of business in that minute and thirty second hit 1:01:25.960 --> 1:01:27.600 was to say, Keith Urban's being honored with a Triple 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:31.160 Crown Award and he's coming up. And so I can't 1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:35.640 find Keith because everybody's moved and it's easier to find 1:01:35.640 --> 1:01:37.560 where they're sitting when there's nobody in the seats because 1:01:37.560 --> 1:01:39.160 there are these big head cards with their name on 1:01:39.200 --> 1:01:40.840 it and all the other seats are empty. But I 1:01:40.840 --> 1:01:42.680 couldn't find Keith. So I walked way past him and 1:01:42.720 --> 1:01:44.040 you can see this. It's on my Instagram too, and 1:01:44.080 --> 1:01:46.920 I'm like, where's Kaith and they're like, he's back behind you. 1:01:47.240 --> 1:01:49.240 And so I go to Keith and give him a hug, 1:01:50.240 --> 1:01:51.720 and then I have the jelly in my hand and 1:01:51.800 --> 1:01:54.480 I seen a Cole Kidman and the Cole Kitman has 1:01:54.480 --> 1:01:57.120 always been so nice to me. I've probably met her 1:01:57.320 --> 1:02:01.480 twelve or thirteen times and super kind, and there have 1:02:01.520 --> 1:02:03.560 been sometimes where it hasn't just been like a super 1:02:03.680 --> 1:02:06.920 quick meeting, like I've had conversations with her lovely, so 1:02:07.000 --> 1:02:10.760 I felt safe that I could bring her unto the bit, 1:02:11.120 --> 1:02:12.360 and so I did, and I said, oh, who cares 1:02:12.360 --> 1:02:14.000 about Keith, here's Nicole, and gave her a hug and 1:02:14.000 --> 1:02:18.040 gave her the jelly. So the bit ends. Listen, I'm 1:02:18.040 --> 1:02:21.040 not gonna win amy for it. Wasn't really planning it 1:02:21.120 --> 1:02:24.600 right then, but it happened, and the bit ends, and 1:02:24.640 --> 1:02:25.840 I say, hey, you don't have to keep that, Nicole. 1:02:27.080 --> 1:02:28.320 I'll take the jelly back. You have to hold it 1:02:28.360 --> 1:02:29.680 all night. So I took jelly back, and some guy 1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:31.400 who I thought was a TV producer comes up and goes, hey, 1:02:31.440 --> 1:02:35.360 we need that jelly for a photo. And I don't know why, 1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:36.680 so I hand it to him. It was a photographer 1:02:36.720 --> 1:02:39.560 that stole my jelly. Somebody stole my jelly with jelly 1:02:39.600 --> 1:02:44.160 roll his name on it. So nothing was rehearsed, and 1:02:44.200 --> 1:02:48.360 that maybe at times Wyatt looked a little wild because 1:02:48.720 --> 1:02:51.160 as I'm talking to the camera, things are happening behind me. 1:02:51.400 --> 1:02:53.400 Or there was one part where they were like, hey, 1:02:53.400 --> 1:02:55.040 go out to where Blake is because Blake's gonna do. 1:02:57.400 --> 1:03:00.600 I think maybe he was honoring somebody. I'll be there 1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:05.160 and Blake's but Blake wasn't there, and so I gotta pivot. 1:03:05.480 --> 1:03:10.040 But for those asking, nothing was rehearsed and they put 1:03:10.080 --> 1:03:12.680 no restrictions on me at all. But they actually didn't 1:03:12.680 --> 1:03:14.520 tell me what to do at all, so that can 1:03:14.560 --> 1:03:16.520 also be nerve wracking. At one point, there was a 1:03:16.560 --> 1:03:21.720 sound issue and it's going bam, and I'm sitting backstage. 1:03:22.440 --> 1:03:24.320 I have one of my shoes off and or new shoes. 1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:25.680 My feet were hurting, so I took one of my 1:03:25.680 --> 1:03:27.160 shoes off and then I Bobby, you have thirty seconds. 1:03:27.200 --> 1:03:28.960 We need you out there, and I'm thinking, no problem, 1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:30.560 throw my shoe on. I go out to look for 1:03:30.600 --> 1:03:33.480 my camera guy. Because it's mobile, there's celebrities everywhere, it's 1:03:33.480 --> 1:03:35.640 easy I can go talk to celebrities. They put me 1:03:35.640 --> 1:03:37.720 on what they call their camera on the jib, which 1:03:37.760 --> 1:03:41.120 is a piece of machinery in the corner of the room, 1:03:41.480 --> 1:03:43.960 so I could go talk to nobody. So I was 1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:46.360 just gonna have to talk only to a camera and 1:03:46.480 --> 1:03:48.720 fil which wouldn't have been a big deal if it 1:03:48.760 --> 1:03:50.520 was like, you have thirty seconds, we need you to 1:03:50.560 --> 1:03:53.960 fill for forty five seconds a minute, But it was 1:03:54.040 --> 1:03:56.160 we need you to fill until we get it fixed. 1:03:56.840 --> 1:04:00.080 So look, I've been training my whole life for that. 1:04:00.080 --> 1:04:02.800 That doesn't mean that it's not a little nerve wracking. Luckily, 1:04:02.840 --> 1:04:04.919 it happened so quick I didn't have time to get 1:04:04.960 --> 1:04:06.960 nervous about it. So I walk out and I had 1:04:06.960 --> 1:04:11.160 another bit planned later in the evening, had it presented itself, 1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:14.760 where I had a sticker that said hello, I'm and 1:04:14.760 --> 1:04:16.400 that sticker that said hello, I'm the people wear it 1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:18.320 says hello, I'm on, and you write your name in 1:04:18.320 --> 1:04:20.720 that white block under it. I wrote Lionel because Lionel 1:04:20.800 --> 1:04:23.880 Richie was there and he has the song Hello, and 1:04:23.920 --> 1:04:25.200 I was gonna do a bit with that, right, It's 1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:26.560 like I always wanted to do this. I'm gonna put 1:04:26.560 --> 1:04:29.640 it on his jacket, and so I had it in 1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:32.640 my coat pocket in case it were to happen. So 1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:34.640 they throw me on the jib camera and they go, 1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:36.560 everything's broken, we need you to go, and I just 1:04:36.600 --> 1:04:39.520 start going. It's just saying crap. I know, I started 1:04:39.520 --> 1:04:41.880 teasing stuff. Matthew Ramsey from Old Dominion walk by and 1:04:41.920 --> 1:04:44.440 said something about his chest hair. I don't even remember 1:04:44.600 --> 1:04:46.920 because none of it was planned, and not only that 1:04:47.680 --> 1:04:49.400 it was so out of my control how long I 1:04:49.400 --> 1:04:50.760 was going to talk on what I was talking about, 1:04:51.360 --> 1:04:53.520 But we got through it. I didn't have an earpiece in, 1:04:53.960 --> 1:04:55.760 so the producer gave me hands on the shoulders, which 1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:57.880 means ten seconds. We got out of it, went back 1:04:57.880 --> 1:05:00.000 to the room. Felt pretty good about it. But I 1:05:00.080 --> 1:05:02.240 the Lionel thing. Why I bring that up and I 1:05:02.280 --> 1:05:04.800 had it prepared was as they told me, Hey, we 1:05:04.840 --> 1:05:07.240 need you out there in twenty seconds, and I'm putting 1:05:07.240 --> 1:05:12.760 a shoe on Tom, who is my manager, him and 1:05:12.800 --> 1:05:15.880 Morgan number one. I said, hey, can you grab Lionel 1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:17.960 because I think it'd be a funny time to do 1:05:18.000 --> 1:05:20.600 this bit, and he goes got it, and he knows 1:05:20.600 --> 1:05:24.240 Lionel Lionel is the same management I am. So he 1:05:24.280 --> 1:05:27.000 goes up the line and goes, hey, Bobby is having 1:05:27.000 --> 1:05:29.680 a cover because there's a sound emergency. It's live on 1:05:29.680 --> 1:05:31.760 Amazon right now over in the corner. Can you come over? 1:05:31.960 --> 1:05:34.080 And Lionel's like, yeah, sure, absolutely, So Lionel gets up 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:35.640 to come over, and as soon as he does, Jerry Jones, 1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:37.920 the Cowboys owner, sees Lione goes Lionel, hey, I want 1:05:37.920 --> 1:05:40.760 you to meet my family. No, Lionel Richie because Jerry 1:05:40.800 --> 1:05:43.280 Jones grabbed him, and Lionel's like, and I get it. 1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:45.840 You can't leave Jerry Jones. He owns the building we're 1:05:45.880 --> 1:05:48.640 doing so as it was ending, then Lionel comes up 1:05:48.680 --> 1:05:50.320 and it was lovely to see him. Love Lionel, one 1:05:50.360 --> 1:05:52.960 of the nicest guys ever. But I had that bit planned. 1:05:53.160 --> 1:05:55.880 I actually never got to do the bit because Lionel left, 1:05:56.160 --> 1:05:57.240 but I was going to do it then, but I 1:05:57.280 --> 1:05:59.560 couldn't get Lionel there in time. So but I was 1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:04.720 that if anything bad happens, you're covering, and something bad 1:06:04.800 --> 1:06:08.240 did happen, and I covered and it went well because 1:06:08.280 --> 1:06:11.120 it may have just looked like a sloppy segment like 1:06:11.240 --> 1:06:14.400 me just talking randomly. It did not look like something 1:06:14.520 --> 1:06:18.320 was badly broken, which temporarily it was. There was only 1:06:18.360 --> 1:06:24.840 one picture I wanted, and whenever I go to these events, 1:06:25.240 --> 1:06:28.280 I never actually want to bother people and be like, 1:06:28.280 --> 1:06:30.280 can I get a picture? Now? I'll take pictures with 1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:34.000 my friends sometimes, and maybe my friends are artists, But 1:06:34.040 --> 1:06:35.520 the only picture I really wanted to get was from 1:06:35.600 --> 1:06:39.880 Jesse Murph because my wife listens to her music a lot. 1:06:40.040 --> 1:06:43.960 I like her music too, but this Gucci main song 1:06:44.040 --> 1:06:48.600 I Love. I'll play a little bit to this, so 1:06:48.680 --> 1:06:50.160 I ain't gonna play much of it because I'll cut 1:06:50.160 --> 1:06:54.040 it off the podcast. But big fan and I said, 1:06:54.080 --> 1:06:55.440 if I see her, I want to get a picture, 1:06:55.800 --> 1:06:57.439 And so I saw her, but she was holding a pig. 1:06:57.600 --> 1:07:00.240 She had a baby pet pig, and I was like 1:07:00.720 --> 1:07:01.920 it was easy because I was like, oh, gott I 1:07:01.920 --> 1:07:03.880 get a picture with you in the pig. So if 1:07:03.880 --> 1:07:05.320 she didn't have the pick, I was gonna still gonna 1:07:05.320 --> 1:07:07.040 get a picture. But that was the only picture I wanted. 1:07:07.040 --> 1:07:08.840 I got the picture. I thought that was pretty cool. 1:07:09.280 --> 1:07:12.600 There was one time where I'm in the crowd and 1:07:12.600 --> 1:07:14.640 they wanted me to go up and tease that Brooks 1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:17.360 and Dunn were there, and I'm on the mic and 1:07:17.400 --> 1:07:19.480 I'm like, hey, anybody here a legend, raise your hand, 1:07:19.520 --> 1:07:21.160 and nobody raised their hand except for some people in 1:07:21.160 --> 1:07:25.040 the back that weren't artists. I did make a slightly 1:07:25.040 --> 1:07:26.680 funny joke because some guy raised his hand and said, 1:07:26.680 --> 1:07:28.440 you are a legend because you're like fifty two and 1:07:28.440 --> 1:07:31.040 you're still frosting your tips and his hair. Though that's 1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:32.880 pretty funny. When I watched it back, I don't remember 1:07:32.880 --> 1:07:34.400 saying it, but when I saw it, I was like, 1:07:34.760 --> 1:07:37.960 slightly ruthless, kind of funny. But I go to Ronnie 1:07:37.960 --> 1:07:39.440 and I'm like, hey, because they had one for Duo 1:07:39.480 --> 1:07:40.720 of the Year, I said, you take you win, and 1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:43.920 he goes, what It's kind of loud in the room, 1:07:43.960 --> 1:07:46.320 but I forgot, like, I think one of Ronnie's ears 1:07:46.360 --> 1:07:47.720 isn't as good as the other. I think I talked 1:07:47.720 --> 1:07:50.240 into the wrong year, basically, and then we laugh and 1:07:50.280 --> 1:07:51.720 I'm like, oh, I don't know why you're yelling at me, 1:07:52.200 --> 1:07:57.160 but that's why it seemed like he either wasn't paying attention, 1:07:57.960 --> 1:07:59.840 didn't know who I was, or didn't want to talk 1:07:59.880 --> 1:08:04.080 to he couldn't hear me. But I'm an idiot because 1:08:04.120 --> 1:08:05.760 I know that, and I don't know why this set 1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:08.200 it down, and was like, hey, I'll talk to you. 1:08:08.240 --> 1:08:12.080 Normally I should have went to the Goodyear. Also, Kurt 1:08:12.080 --> 1:08:15.000 Warner was in the audience. Kurt Warner played for the 1:08:15.080 --> 1:08:20.400 Rams Wonner Super Bowl Fastest Show on turf, beats Titans 1:08:20.439 --> 1:08:24.760 back in the day, played for the Cardinals Hall of 1:08:24.760 --> 1:08:28.679 Fame quarterback. The first time that I met Kurt Warner 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:34.160 was virtually on Skype. Who even says Skype. Why did 1:08:34.200 --> 1:08:35.439 I just say Skype? I think I just read a 1:08:35.439 --> 1:08:43.000 story about them going bankrupt? Skype? What the heck on Zoom? 1:08:44.000 --> 1:08:47.200 And Matt Castle and myself interviewed him for our podcast 1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:50.360 Lots to say. Then, when I did NFL Honors, because 1:08:50.400 --> 1:08:52.200 that's the award show for the NFL players they give 1:08:52.240 --> 1:08:54.479 out like Rookie of the Year. It was in New 1:08:54.600 --> 1:08:57.120 Orleans and the super Bowl. Fox and NFL had me 1:08:57.160 --> 1:08:59.519 present an award to George Kittle, who's a tied endo 1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:02.240 the forty nine. But that show they have you sit 1:09:02.320 --> 1:09:04.320 up in the first few rows if you're going on camera, 1:09:04.640 --> 1:09:07.519 because since you have to walk backstage pretty quickly, they 1:09:07.560 --> 1:09:10.160 want you to be close. So I'm seated right next 1:09:10.160 --> 1:09:12.280 to Kurt Warner and his wife, and we were there 1:09:12.320 --> 1:09:15.479 for an hour and twenty minutes and they were awesome. 1:09:15.520 --> 1:09:17.760 We talked the whole time, and so we got to 1:09:17.840 --> 1:09:21.080 know each other that night. And then I'm there and 1:09:21.120 --> 1:09:24.519 we were going to commercial after I'd finished a segment 1:09:24.920 --> 1:09:26.920 and this guy comes up and hugs me. He's like, 1:09:26.920 --> 1:09:29.240 what's happening. It's freaking Kurt Warner and he was like, 1:09:29.280 --> 1:09:30.320 I saw all you wanted to say hi, and I 1:09:30.400 --> 1:09:31.880 was like, do what up, went back and talked to 1:09:31.960 --> 1:09:35.080 them again later in the night. Lovely people love them. 1:09:35.120 --> 1:09:37.760 They came in. Apparently Kurt Warner and Blake Shelton are 1:09:37.800 --> 1:09:40.559 good friends. He came in for Blake Shelton's event that 1:09:40.600 --> 1:09:42.680 Blake did the same night that Brooks and Dunn did 1:09:42.720 --> 1:09:45.559 their event. But that's my other note about the ACMs 1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:48.280 that Kurt Warner is awesome in general, and it was 1:09:48.320 --> 1:09:50.560 really cool that he was there because he's such a 1:09:50.640 --> 1:09:52.920 kind got him and his wife are so kind, So 1:09:53.320 --> 1:09:59.759 ACMs were great. I have been attached to the idea 1:10:00.640 --> 1:10:02.240 I want to host one of these award shows, one 1:10:02.280 --> 1:10:06.840 of the big ones ACMs, CMAS. I've positioned myself for 1:10:06.880 --> 1:10:10.800 many years, and there was one time, and right now 1:10:10.840 --> 1:10:12.560 I cannot tell the story. One day I will be 1:10:12.600 --> 1:10:15.320 able to. There was a year that they said, hey, 1:10:15.320 --> 1:10:17.439 we think we want you to host the show, and 1:10:17.479 --> 1:10:20.479 then we'll say a couple weeks before the announced there 1:10:20.520 --> 1:10:22.040 was a reason they had to pull me from hosting 1:10:22.080 --> 1:10:30.000 the show. And it was not a reason that I 1:10:30.040 --> 1:10:32.559 did not want to say too much. I didn't do 1:10:32.600 --> 1:10:36.040 anything to make them pull me off the show. But 1:10:36.160 --> 1:10:39.200 it really sucked because that's been one of the goals 1:10:39.360 --> 1:10:43.800 forever and I've made it known that I want to 1:10:43.800 --> 1:10:47.680 host ACMs, But when it's the sixtieth and they want 1:10:47.720 --> 1:10:50.880 to bring Rieba back to do the eighteenth, and that 1:10:51.000 --> 1:10:54.000 number eighteen wasn't as important as it was. She's hosted 1:10:54.000 --> 1:10:55.519 that show more than anybody else. And since it was 1:10:55.560 --> 1:10:57.920 the sixtieth, there was that the first year they did it, 1:10:58.120 --> 1:11:00.160 you know, they had Garth and they had and. 1:11:02.000 --> 1:11:02.360 Dolly. 1:11:02.880 --> 1:11:04.720 You can't really argue with it. It was Guard's first 1:11:04.760 --> 1:11:06.439 ever time to host, and so I'd always be like, 1:11:06.479 --> 1:11:08.000 all right, I'm gona wait time, wait more time, wait 1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:09.559 my time. I don't want to be second Banana. Those 1:11:09.640 --> 1:11:11.400 last two years, I tried to actually not be a 1:11:11.439 --> 1:11:14.520 part of the show, even though I love them, I 1:11:14.600 --> 1:11:16.840 lose money by going to do it, and it takes 1:11:16.840 --> 1:11:19.080 me away from the morning show, which I don't always 1:11:19.120 --> 1:11:20.600 mind because I can do it remotely, but I just 1:11:20.600 --> 1:11:22.000 don't a higher country and I'm like, I'm going to 1:11:22.040 --> 1:11:23.960 be exhausted. And if you know anything about me chat 1:11:23.960 --> 1:11:26.879 GBT told me earlier that I get too tired sometimes 1:11:26.920 --> 1:11:29.760 that I can't be functioning at the same level that 1:11:29.800 --> 1:11:31.400 i'd like to be functioning, or that I normally function 1:11:31.479 --> 1:11:33.840 because I'm too exhausted. So I said, you know, I 1:11:33.840 --> 1:11:36.760 don't think I'm going to do it this year. But 1:11:36.880 --> 1:11:39.639 our special just got picked up for the ACMs, which 1:11:39.680 --> 1:11:41.800 they never asked us to do. We just went and 1:11:41.880 --> 1:11:44.840 shot it and presented to them, said hey, would you 1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:46.760 want to option our special? And they said yes, we do. 1:11:46.800 --> 1:11:50.360 We were like, what really? So I said, Okay, I'm 1:11:50.360 --> 1:11:52.800 gonna do it one more year. And so I did 1:11:52.800 --> 1:11:55.439 it this year. And by the way, my plans is 1:11:55.479 --> 1:11:57.240 of an hour to not do it next year. They 1:11:57.240 --> 1:11:59.040 have not asked me to do it next year. It 1:11:59.080 --> 1:12:00.800 has not even been a converse. But my plans right 1:12:00.840 --> 1:12:04.960 now are probably to not do it next year. But 1:12:05.000 --> 1:12:10.200 I've always wanted to host it, and I was always 1:12:13.040 --> 1:12:14.800 I wondered if I would ever be able to show 1:12:14.840 --> 1:12:17.599 them how good I would be at hosting it, And 1:12:18.000 --> 1:12:21.160 I had opportunities this year, and I think I actually 1:12:21.479 --> 1:12:24.639 succeeded in those opportunities by doing a bunch of live 1:12:24.680 --> 1:12:26.559 stuff on the show, by things breaking down and me 1:12:26.600 --> 1:12:29.240 covering it, by all those people that make those decisions 1:12:29.240 --> 1:12:31.240 being at the Brooks and done thing when I'm telling jokes, 1:12:31.439 --> 1:12:33.840 so I'm not as married to the idea of that 1:12:33.920 --> 1:12:35.680 I'm a failure if I never get to do it, 1:12:35.920 --> 1:12:38.240 because I think I got to prove that I can 1:12:38.360 --> 1:12:42.120 do it. Now I'm just not famous enough. So I 1:12:42.160 --> 1:12:44.799 think that's really what it is at this point, because 1:12:44.840 --> 1:12:48.519 the skill set I got it. I can go live, 1:12:48.560 --> 1:12:50.240 I can tell jokes, I can write jokes, I know 1:12:50.280 --> 1:12:55.320 all the people. I have a good TV resume, I 1:12:55.360 --> 1:12:57.680 have a comedy special, I have everything you need to 1:12:57.720 --> 1:13:00.479 have to do it. I'm just not famous enough and 1:13:00.520 --> 1:13:05.400 they really want somebody famous that they can show in 1:13:05.439 --> 1:13:08.360 the promo of it. So unless I get to be 1:13:08.400 --> 1:13:10.519 a bit more famous, which that's not even really my 1:13:10.600 --> 1:13:16.800 goal anymore, probably won't host it. And I think, knowing 1:13:16.840 --> 1:13:18.920 I would have said that six months ago, i'd have 1:13:18.920 --> 1:13:20.559 been like, you're only saying that because you're a quitter 1:13:20.600 --> 1:13:23.120 and you're scared you're never going to get it. Therefore 1:13:23.439 --> 1:13:25.200 you're just gonna say I'm going to give up and 1:13:25.240 --> 1:13:27.320 not get it. But that is absolutely not the case. 1:13:27.920 --> 1:13:30.519 I was able to show every freaking skill that I 1:13:30.560 --> 1:13:33.080 have this year. The right people saw it, and if 1:13:33.120 --> 1:13:37.280 I never get chosen I'm actually okay with it because 1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:41.559 I only ever want the opportunity to prove myself. It's 1:13:41.640 --> 1:13:43.920 not that I need to get it, it's that I 1:13:43.960 --> 1:13:45.400 need to show I can do it to the people 1:13:45.400 --> 1:13:47.080 that make the decisions that will be able to give it. 1:13:48.160 --> 1:13:49.960 And if I can do that, because sometimes I may 1:13:50.000 --> 1:13:53.280 actually may not be good enough. But if I can 1:13:53.280 --> 1:13:56.639 do that and I get it or I don't get 1:13:56.640 --> 1:14:01.479 it to me, that's the win, the WI win. So 1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:07.280 I won. I won this year by performing at a 1:14:07.360 --> 1:14:10.439 high level, showing my skill set during the live show, 1:14:11.479 --> 1:14:16.559 and also showing that I can stand on stage, own 1:14:16.640 --> 1:14:21.640 the stage, rite and tell jokes that are relevant to 1:14:22.960 --> 1:14:27.040 the weekend the people that are their country music. So yeah, 1:14:27.160 --> 1:14:29.720 if I don't get it anymore, I'm okay with it. 1:14:29.720 --> 1:14:31.200 I'm not married to the idea that I'm a failure. 1:14:31.200 --> 1:14:34.280 If I don't three weeks ago, six months ago, that 1:14:34.280 --> 1:14:35.920 would not have been coming out of my mouth because 1:14:35.920 --> 1:14:37.760 I would have thought, yeah, you know what, at this point, 1:14:37.760 --> 1:14:39.320 I'm probably not gonna get it. But I feel like 1:14:39.320 --> 1:14:42.240 a total and complete failure because that was a goal 1:14:42.280 --> 1:14:44.120 of mine. I don't feel like a failure anymore. And 1:14:44.120 --> 1:14:47.840 if I never get it that kind of sucks, But 1:14:47.880 --> 1:14:50.639 it's not because I suck a little bit of therapy 1:14:50.680 --> 1:14:53.920 coming through right there too, but also because this year, 1:14:53.960 --> 1:14:56.080 more than any other year, I got to spread my 1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:58.559 wings and show that these skills that I've been developing 1:14:58.560 --> 1:15:01.080 over the past ten years, they're hearing ready for you. 1:15:01.800 --> 1:15:05.040 If eighty people say no, I'm ready to go. All right, 1:15:05.080 --> 1:15:09.200 that's the episode. Thank you guys, all you fifty minute clubbers. 1:15:09.320 --> 1:15:11.800 I appreciate it. We went way over fifty minutes this time, 1:15:12.000 --> 1:15:14.280 but I appreciate you guys being here and you can't 1:15:14.320 --> 1:15:16.040 me in the DMS. Be like, listen all fifty minutes 1:15:16.080 --> 1:15:18.599 and if give me your thoughts. Did you hear something 1:15:18.600 --> 1:15:20.200 you liked, something you didn't like? Like I love to 1:15:20.280 --> 1:15:22.360 know whenever I'm just talking about myself because I'm not 1:15:22.400 --> 1:15:24.519 reading from a script. The only notes that I had 1:15:24.560 --> 1:15:26.360 were from the Eddie and I segment. Whenever I put 1:15:26.360 --> 1:15:31.519 together all that stuff. Otherwise, I have an idea of 1:15:31.520 --> 1:15:32.479 what I want to talk about it, I come in 1:15:32.520 --> 1:15:34.680 and talk about it. Sometimes I get and tangent off 1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:38.280 of it. But let me know. Thanks to all you guys, 1:15:38.560 --> 1:15:41.479 and we will see you next week. We have Brandon 1:15:41.520 --> 1:15:44.120 Lancaster from Lanco, lead singer of Lanco coming up in 1:15:44.120 --> 1:15:47.080 the next episode. What I really like about his story, 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:49.080 but I think you'll like about a story is they 1:15:49.080 --> 1:15:52.639 were a band and they have the song That's Gonna 1:15:52.680 --> 1:15:56.400 Be Your Forever you were Gonna Be My Wife Number 1:15:56.439 --> 1:15:59.280 one song that another song that did really well covid hit, 1:15:59.320 --> 1:16:02.519 lost a record, lost their management. Now they're kind of 1:16:02.520 --> 1:16:06.040 back at it and back on and doing well. And 1:16:06.120 --> 1:16:08.240 that's really hard in the creative world to be the 1:16:08.280 --> 1:16:13.280 shiny toy, completely lose your shine and then get it back. 1:16:14.040 --> 1:16:18.960 It's very difficult because you're looked at as a has 1:16:19.040 --> 1:16:22.120 been because there's one hundred new people coming up that 1:16:22.160 --> 1:16:24.240 they can go to instead. But history's really good and 1:16:24.240 --> 1:16:26.000 I hope you listen to the next episode. I hope 1:16:26.040 --> 1:16:29.479 you liked that Jessica Andrews episode, and yeah, that's what's up. 1:16:29.640 --> 1:16:31.479 Thank you guys, and we'll see you next time.
