Welcome to episode. We had a minor mishap after the last show. We'll talk about that in just one second. Let's let's start. We're talking about sleep number. One second, I have a sleep number of bed. I love it. Cooler or warmer, you decide, any bed, any side really what it is. You can get this thing and put it on any type of bed. It doesn't have to be a sleep in more bed. And you've heard me talking about my sleep number and how much it's improved
my sleep. And now they have this. It's called the all new dual Temper individual Layer and you can just put it on your bed. Cooler or warmer you decide. Just add the dual temper layer to either side of the bed and sleep up to thirty five cooler or warmer than your partner or even yourself. You can cool it up. The dual temper layer can be added any mattress brand. Again, it does not have to be a sleep number. My sleep number setting because I do have the bed too, was is thirty. My sleep i Q
score last night was in the nineties. Finally, the blissful cooling comfort that you deserve at a comfortable price. Going now in feel the temperature difference for yourself. You'll only find the dual temp layer at sleep number dot com or any of the five and fifty sleep number stores nationwide. Visit sleep number dot com slash bones to find the
store nearest to you. There you go, hmm, So what happened is we had Maddie Poppy in and we've never tried to record two back to back real quick because Klebly Hutchinson, who finished second on American Item, was here in the room. They're dating and so they've been running around together because I was like, hey, let what's pop up into a Bobby cast. So we did it as about a half hour and I go down and because this show is done in my house, and walk downstairs
in the kitchen. Prepare me a little dinner, healthy portion size, pretty perfect, have my water. Uh you know, I put my my hydration tablets in there, and it's just I'm about to embark on a nice meal. Mike de comes down and goes, hey, dude, we lost the whole podcast, and so what do you mean? He goes, I don't know. Computer crashed, and so I sell a little distress in your face there. So we lost the Caleb Bobby cast forever every episode we've done. It finally happened. Now it's
pretty wrecked about it. So we had we had a learning moment. There was I wish probably just record it at the same time by two different things, so that that happened last week. So there is no Caleb Bobby cast and Caleb, if you're listening to this, sorry, buddy, Yeah, I feel bad. Yeah, we'll get another. Maddie Poppy finished first, Caleb finished second. His Bobby cast does not exist. You haven't spent a little time with them in the past
few days, you know, since I did the show. They come to my town and so I was like, hey, will you do some events? And I said sure. So we did the Bobby cast and that was on me. Asked Maddie to come up here and do that, and we're doing a thing tomorrow which is Sunday. I think
I have four total events with him. Um I you know, it's funny to see how they change because when they go into the show, those two specifically, when they go into the show, neither of them really had the confidence that they were gonna make it far on the show, much less have a real career in music. And so what happens is what happened to them. I saw two people that had absolutely no self esteem when it comes to you know, do a music on a major level.
Then you get in that bubble of American Idol where you don't really have relationships outside of the show. So you start to think that you're the most famous person in the world. Slowly every week because all your reading your socials and people loving you, and it goes from one thousand to two thousand people loving you, and you're like, I'm a big deal. Now, this is crazy. And then it's back to the low of getting off the show
and you kind of have to start over again. And so you know it's gonna be tough for them because I was telling Caleb, and it's not here. You know, you have an advantage that you have some notoriety, but when you come to town in Nashville, there's a bit of a disadvantage because you're the person that came from the singing show. And so especially because Idol or any of the TV shows, it's been a tough run as
of late to have anyone followed through. Idle has been better at the voice, like who's made up from the voice? I can think of one person. I can name a ton of idols, but from the Voice, that's a tough one, like Cassidy's from the Voice. The only one I can think of Daniel Bradberrys from the Voice. But you know, right now, you know they're at these crossroads points of their career. Who else from the Voice, though, can you even name? I'm looking at a list right now and
I don't even remember him. And you know why, because that show is about the judges. It's really about the relationships between Blake and Adam, which is why neither one of those who ever leave. You'll see some seasons where some of the judges go away for a while. You know, Christie there comes and goes, she's done now, I think for sure, Miley comes and goes, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys
like those chairs can change, Kelly Clarkson now. But the Blake in the atom I don't believe has changed as they've started, because that's what people watch for, and they do research on these things, and so that show is about the judges. I mean reckon Idol, although they do have big judges and Simon cow is a big part of that. Especially early. People watch to see what Simon was gonna say about the contestants, not just to see
what Simon was going to say about his day. And so with Idol, you know, it's been much more of a performer based show. And I do think coming off Idol you have a better shot than coming off Voice. But listen, you can get if you get any shot nowadays, take it. Like for sure, I'd want to come off one of the shows as a winner, better than nothing. But you know, they're gonna they're both gonna have to move to town, and it's gonna be struggle, a struggle.
It's gonna be tough, but it's tough for everyone. Like you don't move to this town or any town where there's any sense of create creativity, and it's just easy if you have New York and you're on art, imagine trying to break through. You can't. Everybody there is there to do art, you know, l a music, acting. So it's gonna be tough. But they're both good. Maddie's really good, like Maddie's special good. And so Maddy didn't know she
was that good, I don't think. And she came and she played at our show at the Rhemen and she got up and she did a rainbow connection and she's saying it in the auditions, and then she performed with Kermit on the finale. And for someone like Amy who really didn't watch American Idol this season, she was sitting right next to me when Maddy Poppy was playing and she goes, oh my god, she's so good, and I
was like, yeah, she's really good. But if you heard that last podcast, you also realized that MADD's just kind of like doing her thing. She's like because she's like, I don't know, I'm gonna be in a format. It's like cool, I love that, But you gotta realize if you don't want to be in a format, then it's gonna take a while for you to make some money, and you gotta eat. I'm not saying you have to sell your soul, but a bit you have to put down your roots and establish what you are so people
can find you. Meaning you don't have to say I'm going to conform to a specific sound. But if you go to you know, I Heart Radio, all Access or Spotify or Apple Music and you type in country, you know there are a lot of artists that are gonna show up and that's how they get found. You know, some of them may not be as country sounding as others, but they classify themselves in that category simply because they know the audience is looking for that type of music.
I mean, you can type in singer songwriter ish even you can't because there played less, but again it's not the same. And so you know, I'm Ruta firm and I'm I'm as serious I can be. Want of tell him my helping as much as I can. So they came in. We lost that that podcast, which was very sad. More so for Mike. I was like, ah, if we can't get it back, there's really nothing we can do. I mean, I tried every recovery program. I tried to piece together these little bits. It didn't didn't work. In
the end, We'll just do another. He was, Okay, he'll be better anyway in another year. So when he moves here. So as I sit here, it's Saturday at about four thirty pm. You know, the cool thing about doing the show on Saturdays, there's a lot of new music that that comes out on Friday. So I wanted to share three songs that you can stream or download. And I'll go first Dirk's put out a record and his records called The Mountain. That's when I play you part of
a song. This one's called My Religion from Dirk Spentley. Here you go, ain't gonna love? Been drinking that Colorado's got me stone every time a close My's the angels singing loving you and my decision loving you use my religion. There you go, that's my religion from Dirk spent Ley on that he has a woman. Amen. He has a song with brother's Osborne called Bernie Man his song Brandy Carlyle. And so I really liked the record. It's very much more my type of sound than his last couple of records.
And I enjoyed Riser, but I like this one the best, a little more singer songwriter re is. I just talk about how do you find a thing? So that's there. I I sent Dirks a text and Darks is on that list of probably seven to ten artists that I consider close enough to reach out and said a real personal note. And so I listened to his record a couple of times. And you can't really listen to record once and have a true feel of it. I don't
think so. Anyway, not from me. I heard a whole lot of music, and I listened to the record probably two and a half times, and after the second time, I picked the songs that I really liked to listen to them back again, and I send him a message. And it was one of those texts that fill up the whole screen, you know, you get you're like all up,
and it was just honest about some things. I mean in a good way, and just tell him what I liked about him, because he's very much a grinder and he's just been at it and he's you know, put out that bluegrass record which kind of set him back a bit. He likes that he did, he's proud of the record, but you know, in his trajectory inside of country music, and heard him a bit, and so I just told how much I appreciated what he did and this was sonically my favorite album and specifically what I
meant about that. So it just wasn't like I was texting on my favorite album that sent us a nice note in you know, I'm trying to reach out and be a little more human to people. And then I see the dreaded misspelling of the word there. I know, I know, and so what I meant to spell th h E I R like possession possessive form, and I didn't. I spelled it like they are like an what if it were me reading it able to cancel it out
the whole message. I had been like, Oh, this can't be a deep message because you're idiot, that's what I want to tire so and but I did the star and then corrected it before he could hit me back, Thank God. So I sent him that. And oddly, one of the other people in the business that I've become friends with outside of the business is Christian Bush, who is half of sugar Land, and they put out a record and this is called let Me Remind You Here you go res definitely stendah you for God, let Me
Remindine it's time speaking on the stage snow down. So I really liked the record too, and for a different reason, I guess I listened to because I know Christian I've written with them before. I really listened to the song hooks. It's such a hooky record, that babe song. I think it's the best song on the radio right now. It's a radio song. I mean, it's so hooky. I turn it off and I can't stop singing it now. I
don't go search for it to listen to. If I'm in my bed, lighting my candle, working on the show. The next day, you're reading the internet. Like I wouldn't say that Babe is personally my favorite song. But when I go one of the best songs on the radio, I mean for the radio. I mean if I flipped through the stations and there's a song on that song right now, there's nothing on the radio now that's better than Babe from sugar Land. It's abeat, it's very hooky,
it's got a freaking Taylor Swift on it. I was reading this whole article too about how wealthy Taylor was when she was growing up, because you know her dad, I believe, like third generation banker or something like that. Yeah, and listen, you can come from whatever you want, and there's an advantage of coming from money. But I've just seen her work. She works, and you can hate her because she grew up with privilege with money. But a lot of kids are privileged don't work that hard because
they have privilege. Like there's a reason, Mike den I hear right now, because we didn't have privilege. We had to work this hard. You know, when I wrote about it my new book, I said, hey, we all have our our crap, you know, we all have our culture that we've had to break out from. And I was just reading this article bash and Taylor for growing up rich, and Okay, first of all, what does she have to do with how she was born? She can't help it.
She can't help that she grow ridge. And it's secondly, a lot of kids they grow up Ridge are just rich and they don't have some drive inside of them. So that article irritated me a little bit that they weren't hate non Taylor for that. And listen, I'm not the biggest taylors With musical fan. I admire how hard she works more than anything. But I felt like that was kind of unfair. But my point is that sugar Line album. I love, babe, I love the Sugarland record.
I think it's a I think it's really good, Yeah I do. And then Kids See Ghosts came out, which is Kanye kick Cutty. Which if you're just looking on new music and you just see Kids See Ghosts, you're really not gonna know who that is. And so I wonder because they were public about they were doing a project and what the name of it was, But I didn't know it was called Kids See Ghost. I knew Kanye kick Cutty were doing a record together. I had seen Kids See Ghost. I guess thought it was a song.
I had heard part of the of a song. I don't know if the track called kids I don't think the rest, but they they talk about it and maybe track seven over and over again. But it's seven tracks, and here's a song called Reborn. By the way, I like this project better than I do Kanye, probably better than better than or yeah, ye I do. I like this project better than the Kanye project. Yeah, okay, here's here's Kids, he Ghost, Rebus, I'm moving for Team and
stress on me. I'm moving teen, I'm so read. I felt like Kanye raps better on this record than he does his own. I felt like on his own he was just letting go of a lot of nut he thought he was having about the world, his life, himself, and this one it's very much more straight ahead Kanye, Like, if you like Kanye, this is the record for you. When Kanye raps like, there's a lot of kid cut you right here in No Kanye but yeah, that's that's cut. But anyway, I like this reject better than I do
the Kanye. The Kanye on was all It's all over, it's kind of a it's nutty. Yeah, it's really grown on me though I've listened to it probably six times. It's it. That's only seven songs. That's a good thing about it. There are no waste songs. You know. You and I were talking about how someone puts out record of twelve songs. We listened to it once and we eliminate songs so we can really get to what we like. You don't really do this with the seven song record.
You listen to all them multiple times and then if you dislike them, it's easier. Um. But yeah, that those are the three songs that I would recommend streaming there. We had a big week because it was c M a week and we did a radio show at the Rheman, which, if you're not in Nashville, it's where the opery started. It's the most historical stage in country music. Anybody that's everybody's ever played there, even rock bands. I mean, if you come to Nashville, that's really the place to play.
And so we did a radio show at the Ryman, and I was nervous because we don't do our show out places. Well, we haven't done that in ten years, I don't think. Can you think of the last time we did a full show out somewhere. No, I can't remember one. And you've been with the show in a capacity or another for the last nine can you remember another show where we just went and sat up into the show? Not since I've been around. So for me, I don't like to be out of our normal environment
because we don't act normally. Take us out of our normal spot. We don't act normal. And really I thought there'd be a lot of cases the squirrel by the rest of the show. There are people walking around, there are people in the seats, and I think we had people wake up early and come and watch the show, And so I was nervous because we're all sitting at tables. Luckily, we had some live performances there so it wasn't just us doing our stick up there and talking about stuff.
But uh, I thought it went really well, and so for me, I was nervous about technically it not sounding good about you know, we were having a plug in instruments do level I mean it's just a whole thing from a place warn you used to do it from. I thought that was good and I was happy that a lot of listeners people got to come and watch that show. So that was cool something we've never done before.
I don't know that I'm gonna do it anymore than once a year, but for me to be able to walk in because we did two hours of the show, So we did the show, drove over, walked right on the stage and continued the show for two hours and nothing for nothing to break and could there to be no disasters. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. There's some cool clips up to Christiansen played both the the folks in American Adot played, Cassie Ashton played, So we
did that. The City Hope softball game was this morning and I went and played it, um this morning. Were you you were there? It was hot, it was really hot. And here's the thing too, I I bet I still feel like somewhat of an athlete. But if you don't practice, your skills are dead. I think I swung a missed three times a day, just straight up missed. And I used to be a pretty good softball player when I was young. I was a good baseball player, but um, we ended up tied. At the end of the real game.
We put an extra inning and then we ended up losing. But the Property Brothers were there, and they're pretty nice guys. I've got to know them a bit over the past few years. I don't watch that show, so I don't know them from that show. I know that people yell at them, and so they must be a pretty big deal at the level people scream their name. That's how you can tell how big somebody is, how loud and how shrieky people get about them, so they'll walk into
like draw. I'm like, Okay, they must be a really big deal to some people. But they're both nice guys. And I told the one that was on the blue team, we're on the red team. He said, Hey, if I had a home run, can I get a free back yard makeover? Don't I don't know if it's those funny or not. I thought it was pretty funny, But there were nice guys out there today. There was a Canadian country guy named Brett Kissel who played catcher, who's pretty good athlete. There was the duo smith Field, who I
don't really know their music. I've heard one of their songs on satellite a little bit. It's called Hey Whiske, Hey whisk Who's this song that? So they were on my team and one of them last name is smith and the other's last name is Fielder. Fidler huh, Fidler, Are you sure Fidler? Yeah, she said her jersey to Smithfield. It's not Fielder, fild Fielder huh, but it's smith Field, right, yeah, Fielder. Why wouldn't they so? Why would they name it? Not her name? But you went to high school with her?
Would she recognize you if she was sitting in this room because you never said anything to anybody, never said anything to anybody, and probably look a lot different than it in high school? Was she cool? Oh? Yeah, probably m if not the most popular girl in school? Top three? How big was your class? It was like three people? Was he at your school? So they met after high school? Was she a singer in school? Yeah, she's sang at the talent show on it And was she a really
good singer in school? Like did they go, oh yeah, that's yeast, Jennifer, Jennifer the whole Jennifer Feddler Fiedler, You may look up that last name. I pounced it all the way through high school. We are they calling him smith Field if her name is not Field? I don't know that's weird. I know, yes, So anyway, I met them, um, spent some time with him today. But all I can't think it was you went to high school, my d whenever? You know him? But I don't know you guys were
out there today? Did you guys say for the whole game? Too? Odd? Jay Cutler the quarterback, well, I used to be the quarterback last season the Dolphins, but he retired before that, was a quarterback of the Bears for that Broncos, played for Vanderbilt, and so he was out there. I don't think he said many words anybody, but no, he's notoriously quiet. Um, but yeah, he played. He's a big dude, and you see he's not big in terms of compared to other NFL players. You don't look at m wing on the phone,
go it's a big dude. But but next to normal people, he's really big. Look up Jay Cutler's height and weight, but he's a thick dude. It's like when I met Eli Manning, and Eli Manning was so freaking big, and I thought, man, you look literally on the screen compare those other players. He's six three, so six thirty, he's you know, two and af three, just taller than me. I'm he's seventy pounds bigger than I am. He's not fat, and so he played on the other team ended up
getting a hit to win the game. So the first time I've ever spent any time with him, although I think I'm gonna be on his reality show coming up when it comes out in the fall, maybe on E because him and his wife. I think it's mostly about his wife a reality show and one of her best friends was like, hey, will you'd be in my storyline?
And I was like, what does that mean? And it was way before Idol or anything that would have said, hey, you can't go on another network, because what happens is you go on one network and they put these walls around you were during the time you're with them, you can't do other stuff, especially it's a big project. I would never got to do the East stuff if I
had already been in talks. And there have been a couple of shows I've had to turn down oddly in the past two months, big shows because of other network relationships me. I'm just excited to get a show offer. And someone came said, hey, we're gonna give you this and a bunch of money per episode, and I was like, I gotta turn it down. I couldn't believe it. I had to turn down a show that a year ago I had been begging for. I can't say what it is yet, but I don't know if I'll ever be
able to say what it probably. Yeah, that's been a pretty weird thing for me. Um so mat J Carl, Was anybody else worth mentioned? You see anybody out there you thought was cool? Because it happens is the charity softball game. It used to be a big, big, big deal where the biggest stars would come out of play, but now they're scheduling other events at the same time, and so there are eleven stages happening at the same time as a softball game. So everything gets deluded, including
the softball game. But that today it's pretty hot, a lot of fun. I just like playing the ball. I like getting out there makes me go, M should getting the league. And I feel that way for at least two or three hours, and then I come home lega, I'm I'm good, that's fine. I got out of my system how to buy a new glove. Last night, though, I went to Lauren Atlantis fan club party, and the good thing about this c m A Fest is that,
you know, the raging idiots aren't a thing. And my boat doesn't come out for two weeks, so I'm gonna need to promote. So I got to go out and do events for other people. So I went. And I would never host a fan call party because I would be doing stuff that I wouldn't need to be doing. But I'm close with Lauren, and so I went and hosted that. She had a onesie party. I did not have a onesie. I was the one without a onesie. That what you mean to do? Go buy a onesie?
Let me go buy and Hippopotamus come out and talk for ten minutes. Did that, and then I did Luke Bryan's interview. He asked me to come out and interview him about American Idol, so I when did that, and Maddie Poppy came out for that. So um c m A Fest week is just it's very intense around here, just because all the artists are in town. There a thousand different events every service from you know us and I Heart Radio to Amazon to Spotify. Everybody has their
own stages. Every artist feels like they have to do every single stage because if they don't, someone's gonna feel left out. So all the artists are exhausted. Um, if you're a fan, it really is a great time to come to town though, because you can see so much. And then of course the big stadium show, which it used to just be all about that. Now that's just kind of a thing as it's not even it's the main thing, but it's not such the main thing that
it dominates everything else. You could come all day and go to all the free stuff and then just have dinner and go to bed at night and be just fine. But that's cool that the c m as of you know allowed that. Let's see, let me talk about bombas. Now, this is cool because how often do you think about your socks if you're like I used to be, probably not that much. But there are socks that are really awesome.
They're called bombas b O M B A Y s. Bombas are what I think, at least when I look at my sock drawer, the most comfortable sock that I have They're made from premium cotton. They stay warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and every pair comes in with a built in blister tab, an innovative art support and stay up technology, which is important too, especially if you're moving around. There's a seamless toe and you get that seam in your toes and you can't separate
your toes. Many colors, patterns, linked styles. Bombas look great in the gym, at the office, and out of town. Bombas are what FEAT daydream about. And with every purchase you make, bombas don't need a pair to someone in need, which is a great thing. So keep cool, keep comfortable, and keep contributing with the best socks in the history of FEAT. Bombas. By your bombas at Bombas dot Com slash Bones b O M b A S. Bombas dot
Com slash Bones, you'll get off your first purchase. Bombas dot Com slash Bones do the slash Bones thing too, because one you get off two it helps us and helps them be a continue to be a sponsor. But they are great Bombas dot Com slash Bones. There. I was reading the story about Anthony Borden and you know
he died. That news came out on Friday morning when were at the right and I liked enough to talk about it on the show because we were in this environment that was very uplifting and there are a lot of people in front of us. It wasn't normal talking place. So I didn't talk about him killing himself. There probably will have been on the show Monday, just because it is a big news story. I watched him the CNN
retrospective and especial they did for him. But you know, and everyone has different feelings about suicide and oh he had everything or did he have nothing? Here's my thing. Never be surprised about anyone's personal life, because there's a reason you don't know about it. It's personal. So when you do know about it, don't be surprised. I might be into, you know, licking Mike D's feet. That might be my thing, and you just don't know about it
when it comes out, don't be surprised. Might be. Probably I probably am, And so I don't know what he was going through. The fact that someone has money and you think, oh, well, they have it all figured out. Now, I can tell you from experience. I grew it really poor, and now I'm not poor anymore. There's really nothing inside of my core that's any different, And so I don't know what demons he was dealing with. So to think someone because they're rich or because they have a good job,
isn't feeling happy, sad, mad? Who knows? You know. They say that they found that bathrobe belt and that's what he hung himself with in a hotel room in France, and so you start to play p I and go, well, it didn't really seem like that was something he thought about well in advance, like he may have been depressed. I don't think. I don't know what he's dealing with, but that's not something he had planned for a while
to do it in France, you know. So I was watching some man in the news, going well, he's probably planning to do this for a long time. If you're planning to do this for a long time, you don't do it in France with a bathrobe belt. You probably do it a little more efficiently, so, you know. And then they say, hey, call this phone number. I've always thought, man, if I were in a place like that, the last thing I'm gonna do is call a phone number like
if I were. And I'm glad they do it because there could be a small percentage of people to do see it and call it. But I'm thinking about me and I would go if I were in a really deep dark place, I'm not calling eight hundred number. And I may not even know him in that deep dark of a place either. What I think the eight hundred number is great for one. I'm happy they're doing it because there could be a small percentage of people that
do call that number. But where I think they're missing a bit of the marketing on getting that message out is for people to call that number who thinks someone they know and someone they love is dealing with depression. Because let's say I was like, I'm worried about Mike d. It's like, Hey, if you have a friend you think is you call this number. We'll talk to you about you know, what you're seeing and how you can help them.
And I think that's as much of the pitch to put in the number out there as it is, Hey, call this number if you're not feeling normal, if you're feeling sad, feeling like there's no I think that they should really emphasize that number to people who are concerned about someone else. I don't ever see it like that, and they might be I don't know, have you ever
seen it pitched as that? I think like one time in school we had a presentation where they presented it that way, like, Hey, if your friends going through something, and you can look into this number and get help from them too, And maybe they're doing it now. But I haven't seen it. But I just know when I see it, I go one. I don't know anybody's during their personal life ever ever, so for me to go oh, I just I can't believe it. I didn't really know him. Sucks.
I don't know what I don't know what's happen to make it feel that way. I don't feel that way, so I don't truly understand it. So how am I gonna judge it? Like I don't know what it feels like to be depressed. I think my mom was depressed. She had a really bad drug problem, and I think it depressed her that she couldn't fix it, And when I would talk to her about it, I couldn't quite
understand it because I hadn't been through it. For the same reason, I won't go to a therapist that hasn't been through a lot of the similar crap that I've been through, at least a form of it, because I don't feel like they understand. I think they have the best intentions. I think they've studied the right things to study, but I don't know if they fully understand the insides of what I'm going through. And I need that, which is why I say I would never go to a
priest for marriage advice, never married. I'm wanna go to somebody's never been married tell me how to be married. So I would like to see them take that number, and with the money they put in spreading the number. And again, I'm just one guy. But I think also the messages, hey, if you know somebody struggling, you should call it to and talk and let's talk about what you're seeing and what you can do to help, so
you know what you know. And and the stories and to read all the stories about the guy and they're like, well, look how happy he was two days ago dancing around. Well, either it hits you again, because I don't know. Either it hits you and it's such a hard, deep hole of a hit that you decide, well, I'm just gonna
do it, or you're faking it. In this video where where he's the one who's dancing around, he's It's like, as they're shooting either way, we just don't know what anyone's going through ever this situation or happiness or in some in the doors of someone's house or the skull of someone's head, we just don't know what's happening. So that's what I had to say about that. I was also reading a story about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. They're fighting about if AI is good, And this is
where I really nerd out. And I didn't lead with this because I thought I would do a whole hour on it if I did. And so Mark Zuckerberg sees artificial intelligence as being a good thing you develop it, thinks it creates the world is a better place. Elon Musk sees it as a bad thing where eventually it's going to be more vostile than nuclear weapons, Like you just don't know, and all of a sudden, boom, the
AI kills the song. We're done now. I wonder where you fall in the spectrum, Mike d Do you think artificial intelligence will inevitably be a great thing for society or an awful thing? I think it's a great thing. Why so, just because I mean, I don't think robots could take over the world like they say they would like terminators, like like, I don't think you could turn into that. It seems so crazy and sci fi or far more different than T two, the story of T one,
Terminator one or Terminator three. I guess it's pretty much they here's the thing. I am more on the Elon Musk side, but hear me out. We will develop artificial intelligence. It will happen. I think it's gonna be what creates the world end. I don't know how it doesn't just looking at the logical line. So here's what I happened in my mind. We create a I so we build these machines to think as human as possible and do things.
And so first what happens is all of the jobs that require any sort of labor are wiped out, because why would you hire someone when you can hire a robot to do it ten times as fast and a hundred times more efficient. You're seeing it now in restaurants, you go to gas stations, you know, somepense. We're on the road, and you go and you're like, I'll take this rap this right, push the button and there's one person back there though, that's doing all the work that
used to be seven people. So as this technology develops, the jobs that will require more think more. Uh, the jobs that will need more of our thinking jobs because the robots won't be able to think about themselves, we'll have to teach them how to think. The labor jobs will go to the robots, and the creators, the artists, the poets, the songwriters, the music makers. Those will be the jobs in demand and the ones that really make all the money. I don't don't get me starting of
athletes too. They're gonna be it's gonna be all robots playing each other. Yea. Now, I'm not talking about five years from now, self driving everything everything, so you're already having it now. And so what will happen is we will develop a I will get better and better and better, and we'll go, wow, this is amazing. We don't have to do anything anymore. But what do we do when we have something good ruin it? We try to make it better. We're always trying to make something good better.
There's never a point where anything is so good we're like, we're good. Just leave it right here. There's always a point where it overflows the cup. You try to get just enough coking you fountain drink where it's sick, falls over the top. We just push it to the end. So what will happen with artificial intelligences? We will continue to develop it until it goes bad. And when it goes bad, it goes real bad. And we teach them to think like us. We teach them to think with us.
They start thinking for themselves in capacities that we can't. And then eventually they don't kill us to take over the world. They just kill us. They kill everything. I believe. We will teach them to the point where we can't control them. We'll teach them everything that we know. Then they'll learn how to learn without us, and they'll learn more than us. And what happens when you know more than something you kill it. Look at us and bugs, why do we kill bugs in our house? We're smarter
than them, We're bigger than them, that's it. We don't like bugs don't do anything to us. And so I'm on the elon Musk side of things that AI will eventually kill us all unless we regulate the crap out of it. And even then, just like Dolly was cloned. There'll be some you know, black market AI happening and it just won't be good. We've done it with weapons. It's just a cycle of everything. That's how this earth will end. We'll we'll be killed by something that we caused,
either AI or the environment to go sour. It does made me think of that um Black Mirror episode, which one with the robot dog. Oh yeah, like military and like yeah, they developed these security dogs basically, and the dogs are so good they just are killing everybody. But there these dogs are happening now like they showed them as soon as that that uh Black Mirror episode comes on and these people try to go into a warehouse because the apocalypse whatever that means has happened. They're going
into a warehouse to get something. I guess I don't want to run the show. But it turns out they had these little armed security dogs that are protecting it. But these dogs don't stop, and now you don't kill it. It's hard to kill. They finally figure out a way to kill it, which is you know, a power source. But yeah, and then you get online two days later and they go, yeah, that that episode was cute. We
already have these they were developing. Watch this robot we built open and closed the door and so yeah, that happened. So I think that was a lot from this week. What's up? What do you see any movies this week? I watched started watching an older movie where came out last year, The Disaster Artist. You haven't seen that yet. I would think that would be right up here, and I haven't seen it either, but I would think you being you know, kind of nerdy, and I never got
around to seeing it. So watching it now because it's a remake or it's like a it's a story scene about director. Yeah, he made a movie back in the day called The Room, and then it's the story about how he made that movie. Is it good? It's good so far. Yeah, but the movie is like known as like the worst movie of all The Room is, yeah, not the Disaster m What's up with? What's up with that girl back home? Going? Well? Yeah, you guys still talking every day and we talk every day? Yeah FaceTime?
You still FaceTime every day? Not every day, every like a few days FaceTime. And so she's coming up here, yeah on July six, So that July fourth weekend, and she's staying at your place. She's getting a hotel, oh she is. Yeah, did you get furniture for your place yet? Did you get my furniture out of the house. I'm gonna get it. Yeah, I'm gonna get a truck. And how are you going to get a truck? Who has a truck? Yeah? I don't know. I mean you can rent them? Yeah, yeah, you can rent a truck. You
get like a small U haul truck. Yeah, I'll probably do that. But like, I don't even have hot water in my place right now. They just delivered portable showers to what your house, to our our apartment complex. Wait, so what happened with the hot water? There's a gas leak and they're like, we don't know how long it's gonna take to fix this. We're bringing in portable showers. M you can always use one of mine. I have plenty that I don't. Well. Are you still on bumbles?
Did you have this girl? She's taking you off a bumble? Wow? Big? You sent her pictures? Dingdong? All right? I was you know, I mentioned I'd set up the first part of a bumble profile. I just couldn't go through with it yet, and not for any sort of judgment because I think eventually I'll get on it. One, I didn't want to be the old guy on bumble. That's not old to be on bumble. It feels old to be on bumble.
And then secondly, I wanted to make sure everybody knew that I was publicly going on bumble, so a screenshot at me on bumble wasn't getting passed around going, oh, look it's on bumble. I wonder what he's doing on bumble. So I just wanted to say it for a while before I actually went on, so no one thought I was like on the sly, you know, bumbling people. You see the screenshot on Twitter everywhere, and so that's the deal.
At the softball game today, there was I won't say it was, but Artists was in front of me and we were signing things walking in, and he was signing more things than me because he's cooler than I am as far as to the people, because I mean, really, some people care about me, but not really, but all the people cared about this person. And so someone as he was walking through grabbed his shoulder, and they grabbed him should try to hold him so he'd signed something.
But you can't grab people, and so he turns a little angry. He goes, WHOA, you can't grab me. Well, then the fan, a couple of the fans got out, like, yo, do we just try to get you to sign something. So here I want to say about that is that if someone's eating, you don't bother them. If it's someone like someone you want to get autograph from or picture, if they're there with their kids, you don't bother them. But you can never physically touch someone in any circumstance
that they don't want to be physically touched. Ever I'm talking about I'm not talking about artists, people in general of all sorts. And I saw them get mad. I saw the artists get mad. They grabbed him, and I thought, man, I probably would have got irritated too. I don't know how I would have shown that irritation. And I don't think he thought much about it. He just someone grabbed him and he was like, WHOA, you don't grab people. So I know that you want to get autographs from people.
I know you want to get pictures because I do too. I'm the same way. Hey let me get a picture. I do it all the time. But you can't physically restrain someone to do it. That's kidnapping. And so I felt bad for the artist because he ended up kind of looking like a douche because he was like, whoa, what do you do? Because but really he wasn't a douche. You can't grab someone. And so that's my two and a half rules. Rule One, No, you can't go up some other than your food. One, they don't want touch
anything that they're touching their food. And then when I get a picture because I got food in their face in the mouth, and they gotta be like, well, hold on, let me swallow, let me get drink water. So that's a weird thing, especially if they're at dinner with friends. You never go up. Don't go bother them while they're in the middle of something. Wait for them. That's fine. You should tell everybody all the time that you're a fan of them, because I do it, and I say
it as a fan of people. And then you throw with their kids. You don't and then, um, you don't grab anybody ever, it's not even a celebrity thing. You just don't grab any Just don't grab anyone. Because I saw it today and I felt bad for him, and you have to also understand the artists. They don't have to sign things and take pictures. It's good that they do.
I hope that they do. Like I know, as my grandma would say, where my bread is buttered, And that's what the people that listen to this podcast will listen to the show because I do not have a single talent that's all that great. I really don't. My talent is for some reason people listen and they go I kind of understand that guy's a little nutty, but I kinda understand where he's coming from with a lot of his thoughts. So for me, I'm all about the people.
But for someone, and I'm gonna use someone as an example that is awesome to their fans, So I don't use someone who's not but like Luke Brian's loves his fans. But I'll use Luke Brian as an example. He doesn't have to go out and sign autographs after a show, or he doesn't have to go out and take pictures after a show. He does because he wants to. It's a little extra. But you can't be mad at somebody
when they're doing extra. You can't grab look Brian by the hair and go hold you haven't done me yet. Like man I was, I was irritated for this person and I just mostly because he looked like a douche and it wasn't his fault. And trust me, there's anyone that looks like a lot, it's me, all right. So there's that. Thank you so much. This is it's been a week. If you like these weekend episodes where you just kind of catch up on the week, always hit me up. Let me know, because we'll keep doing so.
We also can look at the data and see that the amount that they're strained downloaded, but that's not always you know, all the ingredients we like to know if you like it, uh and thanks to sleep number and also thanks to Bomba as our sponsor bombas dot com slash bones. Trust me on the socks. Socks are like refrigerators and car tires. You really hate spending money on them, but if you get bad ones, you're like, oh, I should have spent better money on it. Those are the things.
And take care of your teeth and your knees, those are things too. Because I get to be an adult, I realized by the way. The book comes out on June nineteenth. You preorder it now, you may hear the step of the nineteenth, but you can probably get it on the nineteen. If not, to hope you get it, check it out. It's called fail until you don't. What's crazy is the book sells for my first book of Skyrocketed because people go looking to pre the like, I
haven't read the person one yet. I'll look at that. It's been crazy. Yeah. I never thought of write one book, much less I never thought I would write a book. So it's like when movies come out, you want to te part one before a part You're like, oh, Deadpools look really good. Wait, but I haven't seen Depool one. Check it out. And this second one is really not any sort of you know part two. I mean I guess kind of it is. But yeah, that's it's called
fail until you don't. Bombas dot com Slashbones b O M B A s dot com slash Bones, thank you so much, hop for your weekend or rest of your week goes wonderfully. And this is episode number Bobby cast Who's coming up? We know who's coming up next? We have any idea we have like Brett in a couple of weeks, Brett Eldredge and I talked to Liz Rose, who has is part of the Love Junkies wrote Girl Crush wrote a lot of big songs and also wrote
a bunch of hits with Taylor Swift. Early on and today at the game, she was like, I want to come to the Bobby Cast. I'm jealous. I'm gonna be honest with the I see other people doing it and I'm jealous. And I said, well, we stay pretty backed up. You know, people try to get in a couple of months. I said, but come on, so she'll come on. We're gonna call her on Monday. We got a high valley
coming up to our first dual episode. And what I wonder about those guys is are we able to still get down into it with just two people because they can always play off each other and deflect, and they're pretty deflection. You know that they deflect a lot. They do jokes. You have the brother who's serious and the brother who's nothing but a cut up. As my grandma would say, So yeah, that would be interesting. All right,
thank you, See you next time. By everybody, See later by by I see later all bought ba
