1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: Good transmitting America, He's good. Here's a voicemail we got

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: from a listener. This is in regards to Amy running

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: into rude people. The old fan. You run into an

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: a hole in the morning, you ran into an a hole.

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: If you run into a holes all day, you're the

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: a hole America. Christmasy. Wow, I don't run into them

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: all day. Well, every day you bring us a story

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: about running into somebody rude. Yeah, but it's all day long.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: I think he's implying that if you have these encounters

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: all day long, Oh, I am definitely not. Or if

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: you have these encounters all the time. One note one

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: that I shared, it was not my encounter. I was.

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: I was a witness at Starbucks. The Starbucks when I

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: was a witness. The other two times I was directly involved. However,

15
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I was kind, and I I have witnesses of my kindness.

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: To be fair. The two you were that you were

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: involved in two of them, yes, and the one that

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: you weren't involved in. People then called you that word

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: because you called a lady old when she was sixty. Yeah,

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: I said she was because the barista she was that

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: got that that yelled at her was It's like a

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: nineteen year old. So she stutter and a lot there.

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: I don't think sixty is old. I think sixty is

24
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Any age is amazing. Any age is amazing. Okay. My

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: point with this is Amy is bringing another story in

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: another one. Yes, that's one. I'm just a witness, okay. Okay.

27
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: So I'm at a red light. It's pretty close to

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: my house. Is when I'm at all the time, same

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: homeless guy is there often, like will wave at him.

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: He's super cool, has a venmo da da da da

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: da love this guy. Well, this venderbinder is happening, and

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: the car drove off like this lady got straight up

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: rear ended and the car that hit her drove off,

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: hit and run. Well, I rolled my window down because

35
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what's going on? Because he does see

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: the homeless man run over to her, and I'm trying

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: to figure it all out, and I hear him say, ma'am,

38
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: don't worry, I saw the whole thing. I'll wait here

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: till the police come. I'll be your witness. And I

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh, dang, we just witnessed someone being rude

41
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: by hitting and running, but then we saw an act

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: of kindness by the homeless man offering to be a witness.

43
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: So you chased down the car that drove off, right, No,

44
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's her job to chase someone down though,

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: that's how you get shot. Yeah, I'm not I'm not

46
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: doing that. Plus, I was at alf there's car. There's

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: no way for me to get out of my situation

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: to go chase down a car. Yeah, but heroin, I thought, uh,

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: I mean that's got It's horrible for that woman and

50
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: that person that thankfully, I mean, I got into rerec

51
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: what a couple of months ago, and the person didn't

52
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: have insurance, but they stuck around, so I don't really

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: know what good that did me. They might as well

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: have driven off. But maybe that's why this person ran

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: was because they didn't have insurance. So really, I guess

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter either way. But I felt bad for

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: this woman. But I'm sure it was comforting for her

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: to know that she had a witness. So this is

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: a kindness story. Yeah. I originally thought, oh, this is

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: a I'm going to tell this is like a tell

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: me something good, But then I realized it was an

62
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: act of kindness that happened after a rude act so

63
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: then kind I still count this as a rude act.

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I think that that's

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: a great story about the guy sticking around, but you

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: saw it hit and run. I don't know. It seems

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: like rude people are gravitating towards you. Amy. Yeah, but

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: so we're kind to people because see that I have,

69
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I witnessed something kind and then in the other times

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: of that. Remember I told you where I was rude,

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I was kind, so kindness or not, I was rude,

72
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: but I was rude to me. Yeah, I'm not convinced, Fellas. Yeah,

73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: we should just set aside a segment every day for

74
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: Amy's story because apparently it's happening a lot all right

75
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: here with Tiara, which it has been a very exciting

76
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: a few months as i've seen you last, I mean

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: personal and professional. I saw you briefly at the Opery

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: I think you were going in. Yeah, was that your

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: debut night? It was? It was, And everybody kept asking

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: me if I was nervous, and I thought that I

81
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: would be once I got on stage, but I surprisingly

82
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: wasn't at all. It was just like very excited because

83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: you know that's something that you dream of when you

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: moved to Nashville, and it was just so special because

85
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm like really bad at taking a second to appreciate moments,

86
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: and I just felt like standing on that stage, I'm

87
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: like nowhere near made it, but it just felt like

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: everything that I've done up until that point, I could

89
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: just like appreciate it on that stage. So it was

90
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: really special. When you played that first time, were you

91
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: able to actually see people's faces in the crowd, meaning

92
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: could you take it in? Because the first time I played,

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't. Yeah, it was blurry. Yeah. So I saw

94
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: him a parent, and those are like really only the

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: people that mattered. They were literally like right in front

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: of me. And I was singing a song that's not

97
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: released yet, but it's just about like how I got

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: into country music and everything, and it's like kind of

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: an emotional song for me. And looked out and I

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: saw my parents and I'm surprised I didn't cry. I

101
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: really thought I was gonna cry, like on my debut moment,

102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: but I didn't. I just saw. I was flipping through,

103
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, one of the industry websites, and it was

104
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: like Tiara signs with Valerie Big Machine. Yes, yeah, and

105
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap, someone was smart enough to

106
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: grab her. And you know, obviously I think you're a

107
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: humongous star. So how did that? How did those talks start?

108
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: So I had released founded in You like during COVID,

109
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: and that song just did way better than I thought

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: it would have. Labels started reaching out, and I don't know,

111
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: I just kind of got to a point where I

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: was like, there's only so much I can do by myself,

113
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: and like radio is very important to me, and that's

114
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: something you can only do with the label. I had

115
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: a meeting with the A R Girls at Big Machine

116
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: and and Scott and I went into to that meeting

117
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, this didn't either go one of

118
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: two ways. I can either like really love me or

119
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: this is going to go really bad. And I just

120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: like sat down and I started singing my songs and

121
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Scott just kept asking me to sing more. And it

122
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: even got to a point where I was like, I'm

123
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: running out of songs that I have memorized, like I'm

124
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna start playing some covers at some point, but he

125
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: like offered me a deal right in that meeting, so I,

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: you know, I did the whole thing and like talk

127
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: to all of the labels, and I just I really

128
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: loved the Valerie Teama. It was always really important for

129
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: me to like, even when I do sign a deal,

130
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: for it to feel very small and like close nit

131
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: and still like a family. And I was exactly what

132
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: that team want. So have you had anybody cool reach

133
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: out that you think is cool? Maybe a cool writer

134
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: in town or an artist be like, hey, your music

135
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: is really good. So Carly Pearce and Kelsey Ballerini, they've

136
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: been super super supportive Anne, Hillary Scott. Yeah, And those

137
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: were really cool for me because, um, when I was

138
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: in Birmingham, I would look at all of their careers

139
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: and just kind of kind of learned the ropes of

140
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: Nashville from looking at them. Borshta Carle, It's also that relationship. Yes,

141
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: Kelsey Balleriny me. Yes, I remember I met Kelsey. She

142
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: was just a songwriter, barely just moved to town and

143
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap, you're good. And we used

144
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: to drive around in a car all across the Southeast

145
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: and play at restaurants. Really, she would run the back seat,

146
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: I'd ride and we would have hurt next we'd play.

147
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: We'd go Wed Thursday we'd leave and played two or

148
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: three shows and then we would get back Sunday and

149
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: then I'd go back and Yeah, her first ever touring

150
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: was with me, and I was like, Hey, we're gonna

151
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: go play this. We played a museum once for I

152
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,119
Speaker 1: don't know nine people. Oh it was It was terrible,

153
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: but it was awesome. Yeah, we played a mall once.

154
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Is this when she first saw okay, very first. Okay,

155
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: we played a mall once and they put a tent

156
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the mall for our dressing room.

157
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: But you can't leave the tent, so we wouldn't played

158
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the mall. And then people just waited outside the tent.

159
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. It was like hundreds of people. And

160
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: so we said and we were happy because we had

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: to hang out with people, but it set us back

162
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: on our drive to the next town all about four hours.

163
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: But it was the worst idea for a dressing room,

164
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: a tent in the middle of the mall. They were

165
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: just hanging out the tent. Well after you're done, yeah,

166
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: and we did, and so did everybody else. That kind

167
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: of gives me in PTSD because when I first moved,

168
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, people like they'll play downtown. There's like four

169
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: hour sets downtown, So I never did that, but I

170
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: played at the mall. I played at the Cool Springs

171
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: Mall and they were like one two hour sets. But

172
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: it is the most sometimes the most soul crushing thing

173
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: because like people either love you and they'll like sit

174
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: there and watch you, or they don't give two crabs

175
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: about you. And that was kind of a tough time

176
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: for me because that was like my equivalent to playing downtown.

177
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: What was playing at the mall? Like you go and

178
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: play all covers? Do you thrown originals? I would play

179
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: all covers. Sometimes I would thrown originals if I had,

180
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: like had a crowd already, but mostly it was you know,

181
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: all the songs that people know, like I've played all

182
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: of Shania Joe Lane, you know. Would you ever get

183
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good crowd and they would sit for a

184
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: few songs? Or was that sometimes? Yeah? What does that

185
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: gig pay? Though? No tips? I would make like a

186
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: hundred bucks for a couple of hours. I just played

187
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: an hour, and now they pay you a one hundred

188
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: bucks for an hour. They didn't pay me all only

189
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: got to oh you only got y yes, yes, So

190
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: when you get no tips. It was the move will

191
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: be once you have a couple of hits to sneak

192
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: back over and play the same spot, Yeah and record.

193
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: Are you playing it again? Yeah? Show them side by side,

194
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: just to show people that are playing them all now. Yeah, like, hey,

195
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: I was playing them all a couple of years ago. Yeah. Yeah. No,

196
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm definitely glad that I did that, because I don't know,

197
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I'm all about I want to feel like I earned something.

198
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: And the fact that I've played at the Mall and

199
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: you know, I played at other restaurants around Nashville. Like

200
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: the fact that I did that and you know, had

201
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: those hard days, it definitely makes me grateful for the

202
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: things so that I have now to hear the full

203
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: hour long conversation that was a part of go search

204
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: for the Bobby Cast. Search Bobby Cast on iHeartRadio or

205
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure if you

206
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: like Tiera to support her music and follow her on

207
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: social media's Amy's Pile of Stories. According to a new survey,

208
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: the most popular place to hide Christmas gifts is in

209
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: a bedroom closet. And get this, the first place that

210
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: kids are gonna look are the bedroom closets, So if

211
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: you're a parent and you're hiding gifts right now, take

212
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: them out. Which I'm one of those. Luckily my kids

213
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: aren't listening right now, but I straight up have them

214
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: in my closet. I saw on Eddie's Instagram last week

215
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: he had a picture in his garage of all the

216
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: presents he bought his kids. Yeah, and now were those hidden, Eddie?

217
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: Or is that just you can't go in there? No?

218
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: I think we're at an advantage here like today because

219
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: when you have Amazon or all these targets or whatever online,

220
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: they come. They just come in a box, so it's

221
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: not like the presents sitting there. So they see the boxes,

222
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: they just don't know what they are, so it's kind

223
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: of cool. Well, in your picture it looked like it

224
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: was ten feet tall, I would think that was present. No,

225
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: they know it's presents, they just don't know exactly what's

226
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: in those boxes. Okay, So I have the second most

227
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: popular hiding spots just in case you want to avoid

228
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: these spare room, coat closet, under the bed, trunk of car,

229
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: and in the garage. Kids are looking in all these places.

230
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: So experts are highly recommending you just use another person's house.

231
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 1: If you really don't want your kids to find the stuff. Yeah,

232
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you eliminated every room in the house.

233
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: There experts say, don't hide your presents within ten miles

234
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: of your kids. Kids look everywhere. Listen. When I was

235
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: a kid, I used to unwrap presents like very carefully

236
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: and then rewrap them. Yeah I was bad. Okay, So

237
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: who will we be tipping over the holidays. I've got

238
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: a list of the people you need to keep in mind.

239
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: Your trash or recycling collector. A lot of people try

240
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: to find a way to give them twenty bucks during

241
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: the holidays. A mail carrier, same thing, twenty bucks, a teacher.

242
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Parents will give an average of about twenty five dollars

243
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: that might be in a gift card or in the

244
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: form of a gift. And then if you have someone

245
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: that helps you out with your kids, the average tip

246
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: is fifty bucks. And then there's like the obvious people

247
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: like your hair person, restaurant servers. But during the holidays,

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: you go above and beyond and tip away more than usual. Boy,

249
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: if you tip all those people thought the money for

250
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: presents for the kids, tell me about it. This all

251
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: adds up, for sure. But these are this is just

252
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: this comes out every year and it's just a reminder.

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: If you can, I think people would appreciate it. And

254
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: if you can't, words are free. You could write people

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: a car a thank you card. I think if they

256
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: get a card at Christmas, they're going to do that

257
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: thing where you grab one side of the car and

258
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: you shake it up and down to see if the

259
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: money come out. And none will come out, they may

260
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: like you less. Oh well. I think sometimes people just

261
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: want to be appreciated. All right. So, speaking of Christmas,

262
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,280

307
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: it and I use it when I work out, But

308
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: there's just so many cool things on it, Like we

309
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: hear these stories about people and their lives are saved

310
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: by their watch, because I have one. Here, a retired

311
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: nurse in Missouri is very thankful her Apple watch saved

312
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: her life. Patty Stone says her watch buzzed because her

313
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: heart rate was low, and she was taken to the hospital.

314
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: She remained on twenty four seven monitoring until her heart

315
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: was back to normal, but the watch wasn't done. About

316
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: a week later, she was packing for a trip. It

317
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: started to buzz again and said, hey, your heart rates

318
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: below forty. She went back. It was second degree heart block.

319
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: They had to put a pacemaker in, and She's like,

320
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: without my watch telling me, I would have not known,

321
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: and possibly I've had a heart attack. I just think

322
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: about me. If my watch tells me to stand up,

323
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: I just turned that crap off. I watch her go,

324
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: You've been sitting for too long. I want to throw

325
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: it across the room. If my watch it your heart

326
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: is low, I'd be like, suck an egg. I'm busy.

327
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I would listen to my

328
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: watch like Patty does, and good for her for doing so.

329
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: But man, these watches do a lot of really cool things.

330
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Amy, No, I mean I feel like maybe

331
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: I should start wearing my more. I just got a

332
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: little too addicted to mine. Like I did listen to

333
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: it a lot, and I was obsessed with steps, and

334
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: I feel like it just led to some disordered behavior,

335
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: Like I would be pacing around my room at night

336
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: because I had to hit my step goal, and I'm like,

337
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: what have I even doing right now? Just go to bed?

338
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: So walking around your room? Yeah, if I was in

339
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: my room, yes, I know, walk the house or around

340
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: that I could, but I was already ready for bed,

341
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: and if I had put the kids down, then it

342
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: was just kind of like, you know, i'd maybe be

343
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: like twenty steps off, so I would be pacing from

344
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: my bathroom in my room just trying to get the

345
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: twenty steps or else I couldn't sleep, So you know

346
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: that kind of behavior, which is weird, and so I

347
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: had to kind of let it go. I just think

348
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: if it were to tell me that, I would not

349
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: listen to it, and I would think the watch was

350
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: messed up. Yeah, I guess that's it. Anyway, good story,

351
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: the watch saved your life. That's amazing. That's what it's all.

352
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: That was, tell me something good. You guys can call

353
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: us and hop on if you'd like. I'm back in

354
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,040

355

362
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: studio morning. Yes, as you know about the tornadoes in Mayfield,

363
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: our local hurly dealer ship Wild can't put out an

364
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: email or to all of us members Saturday. So I

365
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: went to a local grocery store in London, Kentucky, and

366
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: made mentioned to it that I was carrying some food

367
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: over there to the dealer ship. And whenever we were

368
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: checking out, me and my wife, they told us not

369
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: to leave it. So all the stock room guys were

370
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: bringing these big carts up there, completely loaded down with supplies.

371
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: And before we left, we had two complete vehicles trunk, back, seat,

372
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: front seat, completely loaded down that they donated. Wow, and

373
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: my wife is just in tears. I mean, you know,

374
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,159

00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: you de live where you do. Yeah, that's fantastic. And

376
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I've been from a small town myself,

377
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: like everybody kind of has everybody's back. A small town

378
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: can be tricky because everybody's also in everybody's situation. But

379
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: when push comes to shove, like people have other people

380
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: and so that's great to hear. Wayne. Well, first of all,

395
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: I heard it for the first time in an airport

396
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: yesterday in Chicago when I was flying back to you

397
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: or just overheard it, not you mean no, I just

399
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: how about did first? I don't know if they weren't

400
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: saying it where I was because it wasn't America. I

401
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: know they saw up Christmas. They should. Yeah, I think so,

402
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: but as the first time I'd heard it. Let's get

403
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: over and do the news. Let's go Bobby's let's talk

404
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: about the tornadoes. First of all, more than thirty tornadoes

405
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: left a path of devastation almost two hundred and thirty

406
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: miles long. Did you ever see the full strip of

407
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: storm that was basically all the way down the country? Yeah?

408
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: I saw an image yea from the radar tearing through Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee.

409
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: Kentucky was hit the hardest. At least ninety people lost

410
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: their lives. Kentucky Governor Andy Basher said entire towns are gone,

411
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: with more than a thousand homes turned to rubble. And

412
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: I can go through. We're going to talk to Matt

413
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,719
Speaker 1: Jones a little bit, who does Kentucky Sports Radio, who

414
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: has been dealing and helping on and with this on

415
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: a local level. You know, he's been talking with the

416
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: governor as well, and so I want to hear from

417
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: him how they're doing it. Not good, by the way,

418
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: but what we're doing is if you go over to

419
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: Bobbybones dot com right now for the victims in Kentucky

420
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: because where they were hit the hardest. Anything that we

421
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: sell from Pimp and Joy, which is our line where

422
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: we don't keep any of the money, is going to

423
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: help the Kentucky Red Cross. Ye who's there now? So

424
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: authorities on Saturday reported a bunch and this is the

425
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: slight you know, positive twist to it. They reported on

426
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: Saturday that there were a lot more debts than even

427
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: this morning where they said, hey, the candle factory that

428
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: had been hit, some of the people weren't actually in

429
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: that factory at the time. Yeah, what they were accounting

430
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: for the number they thought was has gone down, which yes,

431
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, given all the devastation, that is some good news.

432
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: If you want to help, there are many ways you

433
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: can help. In our way is not the only way,

434
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: but our way is if you want something to promote

435
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: a very positive message, and you also want to have

436
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: money donated, you can go to Bobbybones dot com. I

437
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: see Morgans weren't a Pimp and Joy shirt today for

438
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: that reason or randomly, yeah, for that reason. So we

439
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: could show that this is what you can get on

440
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: there and help people. Eddie Shower on camera look as

441
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: radiant as ever. And I say this, when you want

442
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: a Pimp and Joy shirt, you just automatically if you're

443
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: a sick year an eight, okay, it just makes you

444
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: look better, You're hotter well, and you know, ends up

445
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: like if you if other Bobby Bone show listeners are

446
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: out and about like you, it's a conversation starter. It's like,

447
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: oh hey, it's almost like you're you're part of like

448
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the little group. And yeah, not everybody can maybe purchase that.

449
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: You can give back people need blood, like you could

450
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: donate blood. But yeah, when it comes to Pimp and Joy, like,

451
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: it's an item you could get maybe even if you're

452
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: Christmas shopping, if you shop by tomorrow, you'll get it

453
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: in time for Christmas. And it can be a gift

454
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: where you give to somebody and be like, hey, not

455
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: only is this a cool shirt that's really high quality

456
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: and awesome, but all the proceeds went to help the

457
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: latest victims in Kentucky. So I mean it's it's a

458
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: gift with purpose. The only time anyone's ever cat called

459
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: me was when I was wearing a Pimp and Joy show.

460
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, hey, it happens. If you're trying to

461
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: be hot and there's not I can guarantee a two

462
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: point elevation at least. Yes, then there's hats and beanies

463
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: and all kinds of things. Yes there is, Yeah, Bobbybones

466
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: to click there. Okay, moving away from that, we will

467
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: get back to that in a second. Moving away from that.

468
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: A rare copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

469
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: That's the name of a book, the Philosopher's Stone. It's

470
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: not the Sorcerer's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone is the UK version.

471
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Oh oh, what do they do say that? They just

472
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 1: reference the Queen more. No, they just call it different.

473
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: It's Prince Harry at character on this version. I think. So.

474
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: A rare copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

475
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: becomes the most expensive work of fiction ever sold. It's

476
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: sold for four hundred and seventy one thousand dollars. On

477
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: the surface, the book looks like any other copy, but

478
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: it's a first edition that has several errors and unique properties,

479
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: helping itself for almost a half of a million, half

480
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: of a billion dollars. It's crazy. Five hundred millions, half

481
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: a billion, yes, no, four to seven one thousand. Hold on, guys,

482
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: I traveled all day today. You're gonna have to excuse

483
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: me for a second. Four hundred and seventy one thousand

484
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: dollars is all almost half a million. Holy crap. That

485
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: source is screen rant. If I do that today, just

486
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: stop me, Okay, say, well, I didn't know the actual

487
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: Fatigue brand. Here we go. Fatigue brain has stepped in, right,

488
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: I know, but I didn't know the actual amount, so

489
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: I was I was like, well, that's a really expensive book.

490
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: Missouri mom is facing jail time after she admitted of

491
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: stealing her a strange daughter's identity in order to secure

492
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: a student loans, enrolling college and pursue younger guys. I

493
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: thought she was trying to pursue like a career in

494
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: nursing or something good. Well, no, you can be forty

495
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: eight and do that. But that's how old she is.

496
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 1: Lura Ogles b forty eight, posed as her daughter for

497
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: more than two years in an elaborate scam that filled

498
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: both the federal government and locals. I'm looking at pictures

499
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 1: of her. I mean, listen, she looks older. But if

500
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: she had a pimp and joy shirt on, I'd be like,

501
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: that's a hot twenty. But she didn't, right, she definitely

502
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: looks at least forty. I don't know. Maybe this town

503
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: is a hard working town. They look a little older,

504
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at pictures over There is no way

505
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: I would think she would be twenty two years old.

506
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, she applied for a Social Security card

507
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: in Hayes name, which she got in the mail. From

508
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: that point on, she assumed her daughter's identity, saying her

509
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: name was Lauren Hayes and she was only twenty two

510
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: years old. Where's the real Lauren Hayes? She's still living

511
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: to the story, doesn't say I think she's still alive. Yeah,

512
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: just as a strange doesn't see deceased. That's weird because

513
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: you could probably look at something even if you ever

514
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: look at your credit history and be like, I didn't

515
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: I didn't buy a Hyundai two songs. You know. She

516
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: started seducing unsuspecting men in the early twenties who had

517
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 1: no into that. I don't know, it was weird. Hey,

518
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: that's pure vistle reaction right there. I was like, Ammy goes,

519
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: what do you say unsuspecting men? Ammy applies first to

520
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Shira's Now she's in the eighth grade. Hey, that's an investment.

521
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: Though it's an investment. But oh that they come on? Okay? Yeah? Um.

522
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: Disturbing photos appear to show Ogul's VI the mom. She

523
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: even had her own Snapchat account where she pretended to

524
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: be her imposed in array of youthful filters. Oh yeah,

525
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: well that would make you look young. Yeah yeah? Is

526
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: this school online? She moved in with a local couple,

527
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: a pair of apparently kind strangers who believes she was

528
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: a young woman running away from a domestic violence situation.

529
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: This is from the New York Post A wild story. Now,

530
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: is this crazier than the person who acted like sixteen

531
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: and went to high school? Remember that one? Yeah? When

532
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: you this one is a little more elaborate and detailed

533
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: in a bigger federal crime. Yeah. The other one is

534
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: like ballsy, what were they trying to do in high school?

535
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: They went and we're a high school student. Oh, just

536
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: because I can't remember to date or to play sports

537
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: or you know, it's been a long time, I don't

538
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: really remember. Well, if it's to date, then the high

539
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: school one is the way worse. Well, she was dating

540
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: lots of people, but LEAs they're all of age. Yeah,

541
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: that's true too, thank point, counterpoint, you got me again. Okay,

542
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: that's the news stories. Let us grab some calls in

543
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 1: a second, feel free to call us eight seven seven

544
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: seventy seven, Bobby. We will come back and talk to

545
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,959
Speaker 1: Matt Jones. And then I don't know if maybe it's

546
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow. But I do have conspiracy theories about

547
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: me that have been found on the internet. I'd like

548
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: to read and go through them. Okay, some of them

549
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: are so dang dumb. The one about my height. Wait,

550
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: that's a conspira. There's a lot of there's a lot

551
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: of them. I don't know at what point in my

552
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: career people just started to make crap up about me.

553
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: They knew somebody who would say this. So they're related

554
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: to me in some way, But a lot of these

555
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: they're all such bs and they happen occasionally, but Mike

556
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: has gathered like four of them that I refute. Yes, Amy, No,

557
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just very curious about the height one

558
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: like I need I'm going to be patient and I'll wait.

559
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: But I'm like, did they think you had that surgery

560
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: that makes you taller? Or maybe they thought he was

561
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: really short or maybe inserts on the phone right now.

562
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: One of my friends, Matt Jones, who is the leader

563
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: of creator, founder of Kentucky Sports Radio, is also as

564
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: much as you know, I love my home state of Arkansas,

565
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: he's that guy for Kentucky as well. Matt, really sorry

566
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: to see the tornadoes that devastated your state. What have

567
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: you guys been doing since that happened? So we we

568
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: actually every year we take a tour across America and

569
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: we were leaving on the trip. We were actually in

570
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: Illinois when this happened, and we're turning the trip into

571
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: a relief fund that will launch today. But Bobby, you

572
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: you know how this is. You mentioned exactly the case,

573
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: which is that I love Kentucky like you Love, Arkansas,

574
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: and the devastation is unbelievable. Multiple towns not just hit

575
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: but wiped away. The town of Mayfield, Dawson Springs, Bremen,

576
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: these are towns. Mayfield has ten thousand people, the others

577
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: have about three thousand, and they're gone. In Mayfield, the

578
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: water system is gone, the sewage system is gone, and

579
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: the people not only a huge loss of life, probably

580
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: over one hundred hundred folks, but just complete devastation. And

581
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: it's going to be one of the biggest rebuilding efforts ever.

582
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: And it is in American history. There was never a

583
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: tornado on the ground longer than the ones in Kentucky

584
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: Friday night, with two hundred and twenty miles from one

585
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: side of the state to the oven. What did the

586
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: governors say? I know you were talking to the governor

587
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: maybe on Saturday or Sunday, like what's the effort as

588
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: far as the governor is concerned? So right now, and

589
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of folks in the Nashville

590
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: area that are close to Mayfield. They really don't want

591
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: people there because a lot of people and this is

592
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: how kind folks are to come and help. And I

593
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: think there's going to be a time for that. But really,

594
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: right now they're still trying to do some search and rescue,

595
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: and eventually people will need help for cleanup. But they

596
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: just want folks who feel it in their heart to

597
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: donate money, and there's a lot of different ways to

598
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: do it. You could do it. There's an official state fund,

599
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: which you can find on the Kentucky website. There's Red

600
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Cross efforts. Like I said, we're going to have an effort.

601
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that will have efforts and

602
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: you can find them if you look for it. But

603
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: really money is probably the thing that's needed the most

604
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: because it's going to be a complete rebuild of places,

605
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: and right now, especially right before Christmas, there's money needed

606
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: just to find places for people to stay who lost

607
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: their homes. You know you mentioned Mayfield, Kentucky. What is

608
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: in Mayfield? Mayfield's got about ten thousand people. I've done

609
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: a show there many times. It's kind of known for

610
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: being really good at high school football. They put a

611
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: high school football team that's probably won twenty five state

612
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: championships and actually was just playing for one a few

613
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and a bunch of their people came to

614
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: my bar in Lexington and were there and it's it

615
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: is a very close knit small town that you know,

616
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of small towns all across the Midwest

617
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and the South. But it has a very historic downtown

618
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: center of one hundred and fifty years old, some buildings

619
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: to go back to the late eighteen hundreds. And when

620
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: I say, if you haven't seen the video, when I

621
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: say the whole downtown is gone, I mean the whole

622
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: downtown has gone. I've never seen anything like it. It

623
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: was a direct hit on the downtown area and the

624
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: only thing left is about half of the courthouse. It's

625
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: truly unbelievable. As Matt said, and we're talking with Matt

626
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: Jones now from Kentucky Sports Radio. As Matt said, there

627
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: are many ways you can help, and I'll mention I'll

628
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: mention our way in a second. But Matt, aren't you

629
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: guys doing something specifically? Yeah, So this afternoon we'll have

630
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: if you go to KSR, that's my show, KSAR Tornado

631
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: Release dot Com. I have one if folks want to,

632
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: if folks would like to donate, you know, we we

633
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,479
Speaker 1: we're ring right now in South Dakota. So it's been

634
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: very difficult to kind of get that situated, but we'll

635
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: have it this afternoon. And but I want to say this,

636
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: All of this stuff is going to go to the

637
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: same locations. It's just people are using their various forums

638
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: to get it up. But you know, the easiest way

639
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: I can put it is this, everybody that listens to you,

640
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: I think has sort of a common feel. Most people

641
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: listening probably have some connection to a small town. If

642
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: you sort of can imagine what it would be like

643
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: if your small town was gone, That's what it's like

644
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: in some of these places. And I really hope folks

645
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: will find it in their heart to give because it's needed.

646
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be needed in ways that at least

647
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: in Kentucky. It's the worst natural disaster in Kentucky history,

648
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: and I've never seen anything like it, and it's going

649
00:33:54,120 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: to be very difficult. KSAR Radio dot com k our

650
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: Tornado Relief dot Com missed it. I mean I almost

651
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: missed the whole thing. I almost. Yeah, Well, you know,

652
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: you did your best, Bobby I mistake. You like Arkansas football,

653
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: they do their best thing. We're not doing that. We're

654
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: not doing that right now, We're not the time. So

655
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: it is it's always the time, but I'm not putting

656
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: myself there right now. But um, we also are donating

657
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: all the money from our pimp and joy line. So

658
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: if you go to Bobby Bones dot com or my Instagram,

659
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: mister Bobby Bones, um and you want something as well.

660
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: But we don't keep any any of the money we make,

661
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: so we're sending it all over as well. But Matt

662
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: has a great point. It's it all goes to the

663
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: same place, So find a way if you'd like to.

664
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: In blood, Oh yeah, I saw the blood donations are

665
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: needed and various plates of places across the country. They're

666
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: taking the blood and then getting it to those that

667
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: need it. In Kentucky, we had a caller earlier from

668
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: Kentucky that called us and was talking about donating, and

669
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: I was talking about small towns. Yeah, everybody is all

670
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: up and everybody's business. But you know, if you're from

671
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: a small town, you understand how how important it is

672
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: to have you know, other folks back, because it's one

673
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: big system of relying on each other. And this is,

674
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: you know, one of those instances where people got to

675
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: come together because people would come together for you. So

676
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. First of all, It's very good of

677
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: you all to do that. I saw you were doing that,

678
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: and I'm proud of I didn't expect anything less from you, guys,

679
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: but I'm proud of you. One real quick thing before

680
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: you go off. I did a postgame radio show for

681
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: our basketball team on Saturday night, and a man called

682
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: who was about five minutes from one of the centerpieces

683
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: places that was hit, and he talked about how the

684
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: road was closed and everyone had to go by his house,

685
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: and he talks about how he saw fire departments from

686
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: all these small towns across Kentucky coming, and then the

687
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: last thing he said is he saw a corner, a

688
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: corner's office with an official vehicle driving from accounting three

689
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: hours away go by. And I want you to just

690
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: think about what that means about the law supplies that

691
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: there are literally corners officers three hours away that had

692
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: to come in and help. It's truly a just a

693
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: tragic thing, all right. Matt Jones from Kentucky Sports Radio.

694
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: If you're listening, and you can even five bucks, because

695
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot, a lot of five bucks changes

696
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 1: somebody's life, Give somebody food, pay for somebody a place

697
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: to stay, which is what's happening right now in Mayfield, Kentucky.

698
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, I appreciate your time, and are you

699

00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,480

701
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: have the governor again and it'll be sort of an

702
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: update about all that's going on. All right. Matt Jones

Speaker 1: to all of them though they were all true, that

723
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: would be cool. It was my last night and I've

724
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: been living in Costa Rica for almost five weeks. It

725
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: was forever I was down there working. I guess it

726
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 1: was Saturday night and Thomas Rrette face times me out

727
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: of nowhere, which is weird because occasionally he'll call, but

728
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: it's weird anybody just cold times. And I think maybe

729
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: he just butt dialed me, and so I answer it

730
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: and goes on. He pops on. He goes hey, man,

731
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: do you have a second And I was like yeah.

732
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: And he was at a show somewhere in Florida and

733
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: he was with a girl named Emma, and he goes, hey,

734
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: Emma is a huge fan and she just wanted to

735
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: say hi. So he was backstage meeting her. There's a

736
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: picture on my Twitter and on my Instagram a story

737
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 1: at mister Bobby Bones of Tom's right holding the phone

738
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: up to her and you're on the FaceTime and I'm

739
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: on the FaceTime talking with her. But I just want

740
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: to shout out to him because I told her I would.

741
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: She's from Fort Myers. He listens to the show. So

742
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: Emma appreciate you. And I thought that was pretty cool.

743
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty cool to you. Hard to do

744
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: that too. I love that. Okay, let's do Bobby Bones conspiracies.

745
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 1: Here's the brief introduction. Over the past few years, more

746
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: and more people have become related to me. More and

747
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: more people have dated someone that I went to high

748
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: school with. By the way, almost all it's almost all

749
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: bull crap. I have more cousins than I've ever I

750
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: don't even have any cousins because I have double cousins.

751
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: That kind of shuts down the cousins thing. Because my

752
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: mom and her sister married my biological father and his

753
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: brother yea, and so that's not incest. Stop looking at

754
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: me like that. It's two brothers marrying two sisters. But

755
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: it limits your ability to have cousins. That's not normal.

756
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not incests. Stop looking at me like that.

757
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the just a general public listening to

758
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: this um. So that being said, let's start with conspiracies.

759
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: Mike D has found these. Mike D give me the

760
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: first one. Bobby is actually five nine and lies about

761
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: being six foot tall and sometimes wears lifts or cowboy

762
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: boots to hide this back. Come on, I started this

763
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: one and he said this in Well, no one said yeah,

764
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: and no one SAIDs it in. This has been posted

765
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: on many of the places Facebook message boards. Okay, I

766
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: am how tall? Five ft nine? I'll say this Ray

767
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: smiling really big because he's a five seven guy. Five

768
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: six guys. Um, I've been measured on this show multiple times.

769
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: It would if I were five eleven, I would lie

770
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: and say six foot. There's not a five foot eleven

771
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: guy that exists, because if you're five eleven, you just

772
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: lie and say six. Oh I'm five eleven, which means

773
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: you're five ten. See what I'm saying. I never wear

774
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: cowboy boots. Right. The one time that I that I

775
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: wore cowboy boots, I was Willie Nelson to Eddie's Julio

776
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: Iglacier Halloween. I'm not I'm not a cowboy boot guy,

777
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: so I don't wear lifts. If anything. Out Look at

778
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: my shoes on Instagram, especially from spring all the way

779
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: until winter. I have the same pair of white flip flops.

780
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: There are little platform they are, but I'm like six

781
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: two in over. Okay. But so what you do do, though,

782
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: is you are six no doubt. But you say you're

783
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: sixth one sometimes, but in shoes. I'm sick at the

784
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: doctor they measure me at six one if I'm more

785
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: in tennis shoes. That's why I come back and go

786
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: look at this. But yes, no, I'm not five. No.

787
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: That's if they would have said five ten and a

788
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: half or five eleven, I could have been like, okay,

789
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying, but five nine, there's no chance.

790
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty tall guy. It is what it is.

791
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: So that conspiracy wrong. Next one, you're not really from

792
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: the South, and your accent is fake. The Arkansas story

793
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: was created as a narrative, and this was done by

794
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: the country music establishment to put one in their place.

795
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: Where are you from? Then? Hey, I wouldn't put it

796
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: past that country music establishment. You know, the country music

797
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: establishment hates me. That's the weird thing. If the country

798
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: music establishment, if the music grow, if the executives are

799
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: picking someone, I'm the wrong guy. They have always been

800
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: at odds with me because I've come in and said,

801
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: you guys don't even know what country music listeners want,

802
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: like you're forcing things down their throat. They don't even want. Um.

803
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: I am so from Arkansas. I'm an avatattoo of my arm.

804
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about this because

805
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: it's the only place I lived until I was twenty

806
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: two years old. I'd really almost never been out of

807
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: the state until then. Yeah. I mean, and we've been.

808
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: We've visited Mountain Pine. We can vouch for you. You're

809
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: from there. I met your stepdad, yeah, and your sister.

810
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: They're all acts. We literally call your stepdad Arkansas, Keith.

811
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: Is that just next level of thinking. The accent thing

812
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: is funny because if I'm being completely honest, I tried

813
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: to lose my accent for years because as I was

814
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: going to college, I went to a speech pathologist who

815
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, when I do radio, I'm gonna have

816
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: to move around. I need to lose my accent. So

817
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 1: I tried to lose the effect on my eyes, which

818
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: as I speak to you now, I say, I but

819
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: how I grew up? I said, ah, or my I

820
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: n g's because as a kid I would go fishing,

821
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: but now as a professional broadcaster, I go fishing. So

822
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: I did try to lose my accent, but the other

823
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: way now I just embrace at who I am and

824
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't care as much anymore. Yeah, it mostly comes

825
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: out if you're tired, which I am today. Tired. I'm tired.

826
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: That's a funny one. Huh yeah, I mean yeah, that's

827
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: one I've never heard before. You even have a sign

828
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: going into your hometown of Bobby Bones Mountain Pine, Arkansall

829
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: population seven. Ye up. I should just walk people through

830
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: my life. I'll go ahead, let me finish these and

831
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: I'll do a quick walk through. Go ahead, you're actually rich,

832
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: and you grew up rich, if not rich, really well off.

833
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: I just wonder where the money would have come from

834
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: from your parents that were clearly super successful in Ohio

835
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: or something like that. Oh true, my fictional from the north.

836
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: Let me this is a good, good spot here to

837
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 1: walk people through just my life a little bit. My

838
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 1: grandmother was a single mom because her husband, my grandfather

839
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: died or my mom was a He died of cancer,

840
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: so she was a single mom with four kids. They

841
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: obviously struggled financially. My mom got pregnant with me when

842
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: she was fifteen, so she had no money and she

843
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: had me right after her sixteenth birthday. And my biological

844
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: father was seventeen, so which I've chronicled a lot through

845
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 1: the years of doing this show. I was raised extremely poor.

846
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: My biological father left when I was five or six

847
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: years old, so he's out of the picture, and my

848
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: mom was raising me by herself and with my grandmother.

849
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: My grandmother adopted me for a while. My mom raised

850
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: me with aunts and we moved around, lived with cousins,

851
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: some of those double cousins we lived together for a while.

852
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: You know. It was mostly just mix and match and

853
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: have a place to live for as long as possible

854
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: until you found another place to live. Lived in multiple

855
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: trailers and trailer parks, apartments. It was a pretty It

856
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: was all really tough until Arkansas Keith came along, which

857
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: was the first stability in my life. When I was

858
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: like thirteen though, so he worked at the sawmill my mom.

859
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: I can never remember my mom working. She was a

860
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: nail She learned how to do nails, which by got

861
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: you practiced on me and it was miserable. I would

862
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: go to school with like fingernail polish still on my

863
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: hands that I couldn't get off. So I don't know

864
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: where the money comes from where people go like he

865
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: was well off because I didn't have there was nobody.

866
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: I didn't have any relatives that died and left me

867
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: any money. So that one's always weird to me. And

868
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: I've heard that before. It's like, oh, I'm his cousin,

869
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: So that one's not true. But I wish I knew

870
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,439
Speaker 1: where the basis of that was from. Like I've showed

871
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: every house that I've lived in, I've taken I've taken cameras,

872
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: Mountain Pine of in like this is where I lived

873
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: and my grandma we moved over here with Arkansas Keith.

874
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a tough one. That's a tough one

875
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: to even. I can understand the height one because I

876
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: can lie about that pretty easily if I did war

877
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: cowboy boots. The other one's a little Q and honish,

878
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: the one about me not being from Arkansas. But the

879
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: money one's weird because I mean, you know, I know

880
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: too much about food stamps, welfare, soul security. I know

881
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: too much about that for it not to have happened

882
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: to me. But anything else we need to say about

883
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: this one. Oh, I mean, I think we've witnessed how

884
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: you're like you've even you carried that until recently, and

885
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: of course now that you're married and you've gotten better

886
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: at it. But like for years you overpaid all your bills,

887
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: Like companies had to reach out to you and be like,

888
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: stop overpaying, but you were overpaying out of fear of

889
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: not being able to pay one day, and so that

890
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: way if you had like a pile saved up through

891
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: the company, like your water bill, your electric bill, all

892
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: the things like you do that because of the insecurities

893
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: you felt as a child. I sent a note to

894
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: a new therapist. I guess can't like you should probably

895
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: go back. I still struggle with I mean, I'm so

896
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: far separated from that because I've been pretty successful now

897
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: for ten years. What do you say, are you? Yeah, yeah,

898
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: pretty where I shouldn't have to worry about that anymore,

899
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: but I still do. But okay, thank you, Mike. I

900
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: did not grow up a rich kid, but thank you

901
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: for that that note. The last one. Your glasses are fake,

902
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: your vision is good, and you only wear them for

903
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: style in image? What's the image though? What's the image

904
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: nerdy go right? Yeah, Like if I were going to

905
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: have an image, it wouldn't. There's a lot of images

906
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: I would pick before this face in these glasses. Here,

907
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: here we go again. Here is my story of my glasses.

908
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: Indulge me for one second. Okay, yes, please, as a

909
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: young young kid, because I do see where this could

910
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: come from, because I didn't wear glasses for a lot

911
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: of my life. So let me walk you through this.

912
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: As a young kid five six years old, I had

913
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: to wear a patch because my right eye was so bad.

914
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: They said you need to wear a patch. I would

915
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: wear that patch and I got beat up on the

916
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: school bus because there's little stinky kid wearing a patch.

917
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: What do you do? You beat them up? That kid

918
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: was me. So I stopped wearing the patch, and I

919
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: was like, I'm out of here. They put a patch

920
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: on my eye to my good eye, hopefully to improve

921
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: my bad eye, but I refused to wear it because

922
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: I was just getting pounded to school. Now, my good

923
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: eye was still good and my bad eye was so

924
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: bad that glasses want to help it. It's still the

925
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: case today. So I was like, I don't need to

926
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: wear glasses. I don't want to get When I did

927
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: try to wear glasses once kid broke them with them

928
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: off the school bus. I was like, I'm not wearing glasses,

929
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a patch. I'm just gonna be normal.

930
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: So I had one great eye and one eye that

931
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: didn't work at all. As I got older and I

932
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: could actually afford to go to an eye doctor, they said, hey,

933
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: you need to protect your good eye. You need to

934
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: wear glasses just for protection. They don't help your bad

935
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: eye because that's in your brain. It's not an eyeball thing.

936
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,360
Speaker 1: It's a brain thing. So I wore glasses to protect

937
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: my good eye. But then now that I'm older, my

938
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: good eyes not doing good. So you have a prescription.

939
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: I have one eye, Oh yeah, it's heavy. I have

940
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: one eye that doesn't work at all. Prescription does not

941
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: help it. And then one eye which is actually not

942
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: great anymore either. But my glassy would you like to

943
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: put on my glasses? And sure, I mean I can

944
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: vouch for you. But also I would say that you

945
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: married Caitlyn and her dad is an optometris, which is

946
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: an eye doctor, and he's examined you and I'm color blind,

947
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: which is or are you making that up? Too. I

948
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: know right, I can't read anything on my papers. So

949
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: if Amy has my glasses, now what do you see? Amy? Oh?

950
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: This is like if I kept these on, I would

951
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: for sure get a headache. And Bobby's blurry every I

952
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: can't clearly vision. Okay, blurry, you're blurry? Okay, good? Do

953
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: you vouch for that one? Well? I can assure you

954
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: guys that none of those conspiracy theories are true. I

955
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: appreciate them. I will only address them every five or

956
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: six months. But I don't have any cousins. Everybody has

957
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: a cousin. Everybody has somebody that knew me from back

958
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,959
Speaker 1: in the day. They didn't really know me. My eyes

959
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: are good, didn't grow up a rich kid. You're six

960
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: six foot tall. I think I'm six one. I'll be honest.

961
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm getting taller. Yeah. No, what happens with

962
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: the age your accent? Am? I My accent is not

963
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: as thick as it used to be. I would say,

964
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: it's actually going the other way. Okay, thank you for

965
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: all of No, thank you, screw you guys are putting

966
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: those up. I have to come on here and defend him.

967
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: But that's what's up. Those are conspiracy theory theories, Thank

968
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: you very much. It's time for the good news. So

969
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: this mom, Ashley Fox, was at Walmart with her son,

970
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 1: who is autistic and he's nonverbal. He's three years old.

971
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: He saw a stuffed puppy that he really wanted. She

972
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: checked out the price and she was like, whoa, this

973
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: is more than you know she expected, so she put

974
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: it back. He had a complete meltdown. She took him

975
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: out of the store, loaded him up in the car.

976
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: He was still having the meltdown when some stranger came

977
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 1: and knocked on her window and she was like whoa, wa, whoa,

978
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: And before she drove away, the stranger was like, Hey,

979
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know I bought the stuffed puppies

980
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: for your son. I saw he was having the melt

981
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: down about it. So shout out to the stranger that

982
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: helped this person out. I don't even have the name.

983
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: It was just a random act of kindness. That's pretty cool. Yeah,

984
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: so thoughtful. But to scare me, someone knocked in my

985
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: window though it's in the parking lot. That's a great story.

986
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. That was tell me something

987
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: good on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Poppy how are you, Hey, Bobby,

988
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm great. How are you doing pretty good? Thanks for

989
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: taking a few minutes to talk with us. And I

990
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: want to start with talking about the kid's book which

991
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 1: we're promoting right now, called The Biggest Little Boy. Oh thanks, yeah.

992
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: Tell me first, why write a kid's book? Well, I

993
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: thought i'd start with the kids book. We'll see what

994
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: comes after. No, here it is the Biggest Little Boy

995
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: at Christmas story. Thank you for having me. What a joy.

996
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: Your story is amazing, by the way, So I hope

997
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: we can turn the table one day and have you

998
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: on our show on CNN. Look, this story happened. Luca,

999
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: my little son who's three and a half now, when

1000
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: he was a baby, almost pulled over this huge Christmas

1001
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: tree in a Christmas tree market in Brooklyn where we live.

1002
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: And when the ensuing chaos ended, I thought, that's a

1003
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: great kid's book to teach kids there's joy and little things.

1004
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 1: We don't need all this big stuff. And so I

1005
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: put pen to paper and an amazing team made it happen.

1006
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: But it's been like two and a half years in

1007
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: the making, so it sounds like it's it's a Christmas book,

1008
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: but there's a bigger message than it's totally about a tree.

1009
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: What is this overarching message here that you think kids

1010
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: will get from it? The message that I hope they

1011
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: get is, you know, I'm from Minnesota, and so I look,

1012
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 1: I'm trying to raise kids in New York City and

1013
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: teach them that they don't need all this big stuff

1014
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: and try to bring someone what I grew up with

1015
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: in Minnesota to New York City. So that's the lesson

1016
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: is there's joy in little things and we don't need

1017
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: all these big things. You know. It's interesting you bring

1018
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: that up because you know how you grew up and

1019
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 1: where you grew up to. Now, I would think that

1020
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: as you were getting, you know, having more success in

1021
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: your career, you're like, man, if I can just get

1022
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 1: this this anchor job and make more money, I would

1023
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: just be happier if I could just moved to New

1024
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: York City and then you get there. And I've experienced

1025
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: some of my life too, because I grew up extremely

1026
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: poor and going man if I could just but you know,

1027
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: the more you get isn't actually the happier you are.

1028
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: And it's taken me this long to learn that. Yeah, Oh,

1029
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: you nailed it, correct, me if I'm wrong, But you

1030
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: lost your mom at forty nine, is that right? Yeah,

1031
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: she was in her forties when she died, that's correct.

1032
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: And my dad was forty nine when he died. And

1033
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: that's the reason I bring this up is because that's

1034
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: what it taught me. Life is so short. And when

1035
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: he died, no one talked about he was a lawyer,

1036
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: the cases that he won or you know, money that

1037
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: he made. They talked about the effect he had on

1038
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 1: them and the person he was right. And so with

1039
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: such a short life possible for so many of us,

1040
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: and life being suprecious, I wanted to send the message that, like,

1041
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: the joy is not in the stuff, the joy is

1042
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: in the being. You know. With this book, how close

1043
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: the illustration does it look like your son? No? No,

1044
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 1: So this is for people who give see us. This

1045
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: is illustrated by the remarkable Ramona Kalalitski. I am not

1046
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: like she made this book sing, She blew me away.

1047
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: She made the story come off the pages and come alive.

1048
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: This does not look like Luca. Luca has blonde hair.

1049
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: Our family in this book is a mixed race family,

1050
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: and I wanted look it looks like our block in Brooklyn.

1051
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: It looks like my kids school. I wanted more children

1052
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 1: to see themselves in this book and to think that

1053
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: could be me, that could be my family. Does he

1054
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: think it's cool that his name? How old is Luca? Now? Oh? Okay,

1055
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: Luca does not think the book is cool. Luca is

1056
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: three and a half and when I tried to read

1057
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: it to him, he said, I want the dinosaur book. Sienna,

1058
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 1: my five and a half year old, is furious that

1059
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: the book's not about her. So note to parents, do

1060
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: not write a book just about one of your children

1061
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: and they have zero interest in small Christmas trees and

1062
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: want an enormous one. So on the parenting front, I

1063
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: have failed. Did you make a promise to Sienna that

1064
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: if you did another kids books she would be involved?

1065
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: There is a book coming out of at Siena, so

1066
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 1: she cannot hold her breath for a few years and

1067
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: it'll be there. You know, with your your job as

1068
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: being a really respected journalist, news anchor, you know, depending

1069
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: on what you're doing. You have interviewed a lot of CEOs.

1070
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: What are billionaires like in person? Different? They're all different

1071
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: from one another. Okay, so I have met some of

1072
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,760
Speaker 1: the most humble billionaires in the world, like Warren Buffett,

1073
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: who it's been one of the great privileges of my

1074
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: career to be able to interview him over the last

1075
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 1: decade multiple times. And then I've met not so humble billionaires.

1076
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: I will what I will say is that money is

1077
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: not what defines them. It's their humanity, right, And like

1078
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: I can tell within an instant when I sit down

1079
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: with one how they're going to be and what interests

1080
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: do they take in the people around them and not

1081
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: just their own success. But I'll tell you, like I mean,

1082
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: I interviewed Warren Buffett first, and I was like in

1083
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: my twenties, I just started here at CNN and I

1084
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: was terrified. And I walked up to him at a

1085
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: conference and I said, I'm poppy, you have no idea

1086
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: who I am. But can I get five minutes with you?

1087
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: And it was in the middle of the financial crisis

1088
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: and he said yes. So I know him saying yes,

1089
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: and the you know, not being scared to just ask

1090
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: has really driven a lot of my career because what's

1091
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: the worst thing that can happen? They can say no,

1092
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: All right, next move on. Have you interviewed Zuckerberg? I

1093
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: have interviewed Mark Zuckerberg, not recently. I've been trying to

1094
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: interview him obviously recently, but they're not really doing any

1095
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: interviews right now. But that's an important interview. I hope

1096
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: he sits down with me or someone soon in answer

1097
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 1: some important questions. Can you confirm he's a real human

1098
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: He is. I interviewed him in his house, so he

1099
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: has a home. Okay, I'm starting to believe he could

1100
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,240
Speaker 1: be a real human being. Wow. Yes? Is it true?

1101
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,799
Speaker 1: And I saw this, so forgive me if this question

1102
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 1: is inappropriate or gross that you had to wear a

1103
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: diaper when you interviewed it. Yes, okay, I'm glad I

1104
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: didn't even because when I saw this, I was like,

1105
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I want to ask this,

1106
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: but I okay, is it? Let me finish this. Is

1107
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: it true you have to wear a diaper to interview

1108
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: Ruth Bader Ginsburg because it was days after giving birth?

1109
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 1: Is this true? I had Luca in February of twenty eighteen,

1110
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: and my college had secured this interview with the late

1111
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Gonna ask me to

1112
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: do it, and I said I cannot do it. I'll

1113
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: be having a baby a few days before that, I think.

1114
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 1: And they said, are you really saying no to a

1115
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: sitting Supreme Court justice? And I said, I guess i am.

1116
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: And my husband said, what are you doing? What am

1117
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: I chopped liver? I can't take care of the baby

1118
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 1: for a few hours while you go do this interview

1119
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: uptown in New York. And I said, you're right. So

1120
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: I have my husband to thank for making me realize

1121
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 1: as possible to do. And yes, women, if you're watching

1122
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 1: and listening, you know what it's like after you have

1123
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: a baby. Okay, So yes, I was wearing basically an

1124
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: adult diaper and a like size large rented skirt that

1125
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: would fit because you still look like half pregnant. And

1126
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: I got to interview the remarkable RBG and Bobby. I

1127
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: am so obviously she's passed. And I'm so glad that

1128
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: I finally said yes. I'm so glad I have a

1129
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: husband who encouraged me to say yes. And now I'm

1130
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: in law school. So that's what you get for that.

1131
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'll ask about that too, because you've taken

1132
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: a break from the desk and you've gone back to school,

1133
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: and more so than I wonder about your ambition or drive,

1134
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: because I know that's there. I my mind goes to

1135
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: do people take pictures of you on campus with they're

1136
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: saying they don't, they don't, No, they don't. I'm in

1137
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: the middle of studying for finals. I kid you not.

1138
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: This is my preparation guide for my final exam Wednesday.

1139
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: And here is my one of many way too heavy labs.

1140
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: They do not take pictures in me. The students treat

1141
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: me like they treat everyone else. They're amazing, They're like

1142
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: so sweet. They invite you to their zoom groups. I

1143
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: have one later tomorrow, but yeah, I went to walk Look.

1144
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: RBG helped inspire this in me. I'm doing a one

1145
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: year program for for journalists at at Yale Law School.

1146
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to learn more, like deeply about the constitution

1147
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: and the laws that govern our country, especially given the

1148
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: last few years. So as the daughter of a lawyer,

1149
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: I thought, Okay, let's try this. What is it like

1150
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: to your team when they go and you go, hey,

1151
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to school. Are they completely supportive

1152
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: or they like what beyond? So? The head of CNN,

1153
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker, is an amazing not only boss, but human.

1154
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: He didn't even blink. He said, you have to go,

1155
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: you have to go, you have to go. I will

1156
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: make it possible. I said, how are you going to

1157
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: make it possible. I have to anchor, you know, my show,

1158
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: our show with jim My Buddy five days a week.

1159
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:50,760
Speaker 1: I can't do that and get, you know, go up

1160
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: to New Haven for class. He said, we'll make it work,

1161
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: and he made it work. So I'm anchoring every holiday,

1162
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: every day I don't have class, I'm basically anchoring um

1163
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 1: and then I'll be act full time in the anchor

1164
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: desk when I graduated. May let me say to our listeners,

1165
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a kid's book, also a Christmas

1166
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: book that covers them both the Biggest Little Boy, and

1167
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that people can get this on Amazon or bookstore.

1168
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Where can they get an exact everywhere? Your independent bookstore.

1169
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: Go support your independent bookstore in your neighborhood. They should

1170
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: have it. If they don't, please ask them to order it.

1171
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: Amazon has it, our website, my social media has the link.

1172
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: It was a fun project and a lot of fun.

1173
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: Thank you for having you, Bobby. This is the first

1174
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: I've heard that Amazon's not an independent bookstore because I've

1175
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: been led astray. Then have you? Yes, have you met Bezos?

1176
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: I have met Jeff Bezos. I have been at a dinner,

1177
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: a CEO dinner, a lot of billionaires at the dinner

1178
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: where he was, and I tried to get an interview

1179
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: with him. We did a whole My colleague Jessica Small

1180
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: and I did a whole documentary on Amazon and tried

1181
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: to get an interview with him for it. We didn't,

1182
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 1: but I interviewed Andy Jassy for it, and he's the

1183
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: news of Amazon. Who was Who is a great and

1184
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: fascinating interview. So to space? Yeah? Does he go to space?

1185
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: That's who I want. I want to space people. Okay,

1186
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: Poppy Harlow, thank you you guys. Check out The Biggest

Speaker 1: you soon. Thanks Bobby. It's time for the good news.

1192
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Good A call comes into the Chicago Fire Department nine

1193
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: one one. What's your emergency? Yeah, where's the Fire and

1194
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Department building? They show up and it's up on the

1195
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: fifth story and they're looking and there's a cat in

1196
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: the window. They're like, oh no, what are we gonna do?

1197
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: And the cat says, don't worry about it and jumps.

1198
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: But the cat says, don't worry about it, I mean

1199
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: basically looks at him, says, hey, no, we're out coming

1200
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: up here. I got it, waves at him and launches

1201
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: held on, hold on, hold on the cat. Wait, then

1202
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: waved at the fire yeah, like move out the way, Like,

1203
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: get out the way, I'm coming down. And the cat

1204
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: jumps from the fifth story boom, bounces off the ground

1205
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: and walks away. Okay, he takes a lot of creative

1206
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: liberties with this. However, the cat jumped and lived from

1207
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: five stories up, five stories up. You know, they say

1208
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: it has nine lives. There goes one of it, because

1209
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 1: it jumped. Literally in the video, it bounces off the

1210
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: ground and gets up and goes and goes find some milk. Okay,

1211
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: you're making that out. No way, that's in the story.

1212
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Oh no. The cat can see walking away, stretching its

1213
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: paws being happy. No, now that it says it's that.

1214
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: I believe it went through the growth some milk. And

1215
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: do it at all? Do it? Cats? Brothers and sisters?

1216
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: Wouldn't got some cat and nilp that's crazy that a

1217
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: cat can live after I would think about three would

1218
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: be the max. But fifty feet fifty feet pall dang? Okay,

1219
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: good for that cat. That's what it's all about. That

1220
01:02:54,280 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: was tell me something good. Sorry. This story comes to

1221
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: us from Jappan. It turns out when they built the

1222
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: hospital thirty years ago, they accidentally connected the toilet water

1223
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: to the drinking water line thirty years ago. Thirty years ago,

1224
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: so they've been drinking toilet water for thirty years. So

1225
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: let me ask this, what's the real difference? Excuse me?

1226
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's a great question that you're kind of right, meaning,

1227
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: because it isn't toilet water treated like doesn't it come

1228
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: in as water? Oh? I didn't think toilet water was

1229
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: the clean kind of water. What fills back up the

1230
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: toilet clean. I don't think you're getting the what's being flushed.

1231
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: I think you're getting what's coming up. Yes, that's what

1232
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, and that's disgusting to me. I don't

1233
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: care anyway you spin it. I agree there's probably something

1234
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: to it if it's a bonehead story of the day.

1235
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: But I felt like all the water comes through the pipe,

1236
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: sink water, toilet water, like was all coming from the

1237
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: same source. It just gets treated differently. At some point.

1238
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: You might be right. I mean, you might be right

1239
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: on that, but it wouldn't be a big story if

1240
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,919
Speaker 1: it were, if it weren't gross. Right. Yeah, they said

1241
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: they were doing some remodeling when they discovered the mess up,

1242
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: that the wrong pipes had been connected. Oh my gosh,

1243
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: just maybe it's not treated the same as the drinking water.

1244
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Do you tell all the patients, like thirty years to

1245
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 1: thirty years there's a hey, speaking of that and patients.

1246
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: Amy kind of has a bone head where we'll just

1247
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: say it was a doctor at therapeutic place you go to. Yes,

1248
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: And they got a new office manager. So that office

1249
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: manager sent out an email introducing herself and talking about

1250
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: booking future appointments blah blah blah. You can go through her. Well,

1251
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: she instead of BC seeing people blind, copying everyone that's

1252
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: been there, or at least the bat she was sending

1253
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: out at that moment, she cced them, so I can

1254
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: go into the CC and see everybody that's had this

1255
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: treatment and no, yeah, I didn't even notice the CC's

1256
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: because I don't patient that I wouldn't have noticed. But

1257
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: somebody did and they reply at all and they were

1258
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: not happy and they're like, well, I won't be coming

Speaker 1: back anymore now that you've leaked my confidential. You know

1272
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: at your bone head. Story of the day. It is

1273
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: time for the Good News Countdown. It's the Good News Countdown,

1274
01:05:55,360 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: counting down the biggest good news stories across the left. Okay,

1275
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: let's do it. New Mexico State is giving students with

1276
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: unpaid parking tickets a break this week. If they drop

1277
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: off five jars of peanut butter for a local food pantry,

1278
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: their fine is waived. The school is already planning to

1279
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: do again next year. At the end of their spring

1280
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: semester lunchbox, didn't you not graduate because you had a

1281
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: parking ticket? Well, I had four hundred and fifty dollars

1282
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: worth of parking tickets, and they said I wouldn't be

1283
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: able to get my diploma if I never paid them.

1284
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: The problem is I never finished my last class, so

1285
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: on top of the last class, I owe four hundred

1286
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: and fifty bucks. So the bigger issue is not finishing school, right,

1287
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: But if you do finish school, you still have to

1288
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 1: pay four hundred fifty bucks. Yes, they kept telling me, listen,

1289
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: before you graduate, you got to pay this four hundred

1290
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars. I was like, yeah, right, and then

1291
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:48,960
