Summary

Bobby Bones discusses five major stories from the week: the Michael Jackson biopic controversy over what it excludes, Shania Twain hosting the ACMs, Madonna's stolen wardrobe from Coachella, the Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini affair crossing from sports to pop culture, and Mother's Day gift advice for new parents.

Insights
  • Biopic authenticity requires balancing family protection with audience credibility—glossy films that omit controversy risk appearing unbelievable and unwatchable
  • Celebrity infidelity stories gain traction when subjects deny or deflect rather than acknowledge upfront, triggering public investigation and amplifying coverage
  • High-value memorabilia theft often involves insider access rather than external break-ins, suggesting security vulnerabilities in credentialed personnel
  • New mothers often prioritize time with infants over traditional celebration activities, making presence and support more valuable than grand gestures
  • Cross-industry scandals (sports figure + media reporter) achieve mainstream cultural penetration faster when they involve perceived professional misconduct
Trends
Biopic filmmaking shifting toward selective storytelling and multi-part releases rather than comprehensive life narrativesCelebrity memorabilia becoming high-value investment assets with resale markets exceeding original context valueInsider theft in sports/entertainment venues becoming more common than external security breachesSocial media enabling rapid fact-checking and timeline reconstruction of public figures' past statementsNew parent expectations around Mother's Day/Father's Day evolving toward presence-based rather than gift-based celebrationsSports media figures gaining celebrity status equivalent to entertainment personalities, blurring industry boundariesDocumentary releases driving renewed interest in aging celebrities and their legacy narratives

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human. Hey guys, Bobby Bones here. And we have an episode we're going to do today. I don't really have a name for it. I've been working on some titles here. I think what we're going to go with today is, in case you missed it, five stories from this week, then in case you missed it, we're going to talk about and catch you up on. So number one is the Michael Jackson biopic controversy. We're going to start with that. Eddie's here with me. So what do you know about the Michael Jackson movie so far? What I know is it's a biopic about a certain time of his life. So it ends somewhere like in the 80s. So that's what a lot of people are upset about. The upcoming film, Michael, is already a bit controversial, not for what it shows, but for what it leaves out. And when I first saw that, I thought, oh, they go through his whole life and he dies and they don't address the allegations. No, but it stops around 1984, it says. So I haven't seen the movie, but it says reports say the movie ends around 1984 before any of the abuse allegations. So the real debate is. If you just stop before anything controversial happens, are you avoiding the truth? Which I don't think so. No, the story ends. And also, I would rather them do a movie where they focus on a part of the life and be pretty thorough as opposed to the Queen movie, which I thought Rami Malek was great in it. But it was Queens like, we just picked up guitars. Now we're on top of the pops. They skip so much that it seemed fake. Yes. So. I haven't seen it. One of the other things that's all controversial is whenever the reviewer started to review it, it got terrible scores. Oh, wow. I think it was like 38 percent. That's not good. But now that humans are reviewing it, it's getting like in the 90s. So is it real humans even? Mike's here who does a good. Mike's movie podcast. Mike, with the reviews, it's all humans now. Yeah. Do you believe this? Yeah, I think critics wanted to hate it because I think they thought it wasn't going to be done justice in any way. And they feel robbed of the story of not telling his entire life. It's kind of cool to hate it. Is there a plan to have two movies? I think if the first one does well, I think you do a second one. And then you can kind of address everything that people are thinking you cut out. It's not like Lord of the Rings where they shoot them all at once and then put them out. Right. They didn't shoot both parts. Initially, it was going to be like a four hour movie his entire life. And then they restructured it, did some reshoots. So now that's why it's this version. There could be a part two. Wait, did they already shoot then some of the back half and they just didn't use it? I think they shot more than at one point. This was a three hour movie. So there could be more to the story. I also, again, I don't know everything. I also don't think that Michael did it, the stuff that he's been accused of. So he was acquitted in court in 2005. Full criminal trial was found not guilty on all 14 counts. OK. So criminally. He was found not guilty on 14 different counts. And so the argument for me is he was found not guilty. There was no physical evidence in both the 1990s case and the 2005 trial. There was no definitive physical evidence presented. Much of that case relied on testimony, which then is interpretation, which is then you start dealing with people's motives. Sure. So in 1993, in a case that was settled out of court, supporters argue that settlements don't equal guilt. And I would agree with that a bit because I've learned recently that I was watching somebody who was getting sued talking about this and he was getting sued for I'm going to make up a number, ten million dollars. And he said, my lawyers came to me and said, there's about a 10 percent chance that we're going to lose this case. What we suggest you do is give 10 percent of what the settlement is. So he paid a million dollars. He said 10 percent of what the loss of the yeah, what they're suing them for, which was ten million dollars. So he paid a million dollars. He said, I didn't do it. My lawyers are like, there's a 10 percent chance you're going to lose ten million dollars. So just because they settle, I do think there's just nuance now. Yeah. So it is still weird that there was money. Here's the deal. Who who made this movie? Like, who were the producers? Michael Jackson's like nephew is the main person, right? Son, Jafar or nephew. Yeah. What do you mean? He's the main actor? Yeah. He plays Michael Jackson. Oh, so that's why he looks like him so much. Yeah. Well, that makes sense. But like if I'm producing the movie about you, for example, right? I'm your best friend. I make the movie about you. I get to decide what goes in that movie. And if there was a part of your life that it was crazy because you were accused of something, but nothing ever came of it and no one knows, I wouldn't put it in the movie like purposely. That's not what I want people to know you for. And plus it just, I don't know. I just feel like that's a big part of not putting it in the movie as well. Yeah. You could also make the decision to cut the movie off at a certain point or like they did. That's what they want to do with Bohemian Rhapsody. They wanted Freddie Mercury to die in the middle of the movie. And then the rest of it would be the band going on without him. Could you imagine that? Because the people living were the ones doing it. Yeah. Brian Johnson, Brian May. Brian May. He was like, yeah, he should die in the middle of the movie. And then it's about how we get on Lambert movies, Queen with Adam Lambert. And we're like, who wants to watch that movie? We're good. Michael Jackson, inconsistent testimonies, defenders point to claims that some accuser stories changed over time. The FBI reviewed aspects of the case over several years. No federal charges were ever filed. So. To me, even though the controversy here is they did not put in the controversies. Looking at it now, I don't feel I do feel like he was a weird guy. Yeah, I don't feel like there's anything that we can point out and go, he did it. He's a bad guy. He touched kids. I don't feel like that happened. I don't feel like I can say that there's been concrete evidence. I get why people don't want the controversies in there. Also, just a weird time. Like they were like three channels. Yeah. And if all three channels said something, we just believed it. Yeah, that's true. The networks. Yeah, there was no Twitter, no independent news. You had three channels on a newspaper. Yeah, it's got to be tough to like when these when they make Ray or whatever. And you start talking about just like the infidelities and the dark side of these people that no one knew. It's got to be tough for family members to be like, Hey, just tell the whole story. This all of it. So everyone knows because what's the advantage? Like the advantage of keep Elvis the way everyone knows Elvis or no, just let it rip and let everyone know what Elvis did behind closed doors. I think the advantage is if the movie feels grittier and real, more people will watch it and you hope it's a net gain on what they take in from the person. If you go, we're just going to do, Mike, can you name a movie that was done a biopic and it was too glossy and it was so just nice to the person that it became almost unbelievable. Because if that happens and a family does that, it's so unbelievable. We don't believe it. And then we don't go watch it. That's true. It's not making any money. And if you're part of the family or you're part of the people that have the treasure, you're going to make money off of how successful the movie is. So I understand the sentiment, but you got to put some real stuff in there because then people will question, it's legitimacy. I did enjoy learning all that stuff about Ray. You know, the heroin stuff is crazy. I mean, yeah, who knew the, who knew all that? So yeah, to your point, that's true. But it's different. Like kids is different than heroin. So different. I just based on as an adult, because when I was a kid and that stuff was happening, I was like, Michael Jackson did it for sure because the news told me channel seven told me seven on your side. I told Michael Jackson did it. So I believed it. I don't in my heart now, because of everything that I've seen as far as no convictions, I don't think he did. I think he was a weird guy. I think he grew up very troubled. I think his dad was awful to him. I think he was Tiger Wooded and that was such discipline so hard. And then he just wanted to be a kid. He never was able to grow out of that. I think that's where that landed. Are you going to watch this movie in theaters? No, I don't want to do anything in theaters. No, I'll stream it. I'll set you up for that. Probably. I did fact check myself here because I told you that the movie was longer. They did spend $15 million to remove a scene that was about the allegations. Oh, wow. They spent money to remove a scene. Yeah, because they had to go back and reshoot it. So they spent another $15 million to reshoot the ending because I was involved in the ending of this, but there was a lawsuit from 1993 that they had to go back and fix. I'll tell you what, I would love to see the death scene of how it all ended because we really don't know much about. He overdosed with an IV in him, didn't he? That's what we hear. Right. But I mean, for me, like when the doors, like when the doors came out and you get to see how Jim Morrison died in the bathtub and like all that, like to me, that was like closure of like, oh, the whole story of the guy. You're weird, man. That's why the weird. You just want to. Hey, LaBamba, you know, you want to see. That was like the death in LaBamba was actually the reason that story became even the story. Had they not died that young, I don't know that they would have been as famous as they are now. Because I think of the habits of a lot of people, you die young when you've got a couple of things going on, people go, oh, they would have created hits their whole life. You stick with a lot of art. Yeah, that die young. I mean, I don't know. There's just something like even the Elvis movie, like there was no closure to Elvis's death. Like I want to, they talk about the toilet. Like it would be cool to you want to watch him sit on the toilet and dive a heart attack. Freaking weirdo. I want to see how the story ends. We're going to do the life story. I do want to see it all the way to the end. I did think that the movie of Priscilla Pressley is called Priscilla. I believe that was good. It was a good movie. And it kind of also showed. The devil's kind of creep. Yeah. Yeah. But at the same time, she was very not, I wouldn't say defensive, but she was very like open and saying like, no, he never did anything to me. Like he was, he gave me his, his space. Like, didn't he like, you know, when she was like 15? Oh, yeah, she was really young and he was older. Yes. And then he had permission from her parents to take her. Wild man. It's crazy story. It's wild. Crazy story. Yeah, he was 24. She was 14. Oh my God, it got worse. Yeah, that's bad. It's bad. Uh, and you almost want to say what different times, but I don't know man. I don't even know about that. There's 1959. No, no, no. It cares. So that's the controversy with the Michael Jackson movie. Our mic is going to watch it this weekend. If it gets good reviews from Mike, I'll go watch it. If it's to not go watch it and stream it. Sure. I'll stream it. If it's too corny. Hmm. Yeah. I historically don't like using biopics. So I'm not going in with it because, oh, like they didn't address that. I'm not going to like it. If I just don't like the music part of it, it's going to be weird. You know what's that? You were asking Mike about a good glossy movie and I think, I don't know if you ever saw it, but the Bob Marley movie that they made. That's what I was going to say. I would say what was that like five years ago? It was like three years ago. Glossy. He wasn't like Robin ready or like going to race with guns. None of that. Isn't that what he did? Like he would go on and like take his gun into radio stations and make him play his music. Yeah. I've heard that story. That's the stories that I've heard. From the Island Records guy. Yeah. He's told that story. And also to all the infidelity of like, you know, his wife being in the band, but him having a bunch of like they barely touched on that stuff, but he has like a lot of kids. And they barely even time in different time. But I'd say that was glossy because I really wanted to see some of the gritty stuff. And there was nothing really there. All right. Next up, we have five of these here. Shania Twain is hosting the ACMs. So it's about as big a get as you can get. Yeah. It was Reba the last couple of years. It was Garth and Dolly before that. So it's about as big a get as you can get. So congratulations to the ACMs for getting Shania to host the show. They pay her for that? It's not a lot. So it's like a like a what do you call it? A union fee or something? No, it'd be more than that. Mostly it's the prestige of it. The last couple of years, it was Reba and I was like the second person up. I was actually on camera more, but I wasn't the host. I didn't sell me as the host. But then things would break and they'd be like, Bobby, go out. And so like the last three years I've been involved in that show and all three years are like, man, you do this, you next up to host the show. You next up to host the show. And they only told me like a day and a half before. Look, there's no way I should have been hosting it over Shania. But for years, you do this, you do this, you'll be the guy. And so this year I was like, I don't know. And they wouldn't say no, wouldn't say no leading up to it. We've been talking about you. There's a shot and then got the call. Yeah, it's going to be Shania. And I'm like, man, I wish you told me that like two months ago. Just say, just say. So again, Shania and Bobby, that would have worked. Oh, that would be real nice. I like the sound of that. They did really lead me up to thinking, oh, the past few years, like do this, do this, because even me doing the show the last couple years of the rebound, I was like, I love Reba. But I don't know. You get paid me standard fee or whatever. And so I'm losing money going out there. Like who cares? You know, I can do this and more people will watch for what I care for. And so yeah, we got the call and I was like, son of a gun. And they're like, you can still come and present. I don't want to do that. No, I'm good. And it's in Vegas and shout out to Vegas. Oh, that's a long trip. Yeah. A long trip. So congratulations to Shania. That is awesome. Not congratulations to me. No, they walk me up to it. I just wish they would have said way early, like, hey, if it doesn't work with Shania, because all everybody was waiting like, oh, this is it. We said the last couple of years we do this. Boom. Out we go. So what? Get him next time, kid. No, there's no next time. Okay. I'm done. I'm out. I'm done. Um, number three on the list. Did you hear about Madonna's wardrobe going missing after she performed with Sabrina Carpenter? No. Anybody hear about that story? Mike, did you? Okay. So Coachella Madonna comes out and performs with Sabrina Carpenter. It is super cool. And so she comes out and one of her Madonna outfits and Sabrina Carpenter had even put on a Madonna type outfit. Okay. Although it's very much Sabrina now too, but they same vibe, same aesthetic. And so Madonna's outfits, like they weren't just outfits. They were the items that she originally wore during her 2000 Coachella debut. And so about one 30 in the morning, a golf cart moving across the festival grounds had her clothes on it and then they were gone. So interesting. So now some reports say the belief is the bags fell off the back of the cart. Right. On a dark bumpy road in the middle of the festival grounds. I know. No evidence of the theft so far, which is weird because if you just find a bag and it's got clothes in it, you probably turn it in. Yes. They're a good intention. Yes. Or you at least look in it and be like, oh, this is, this is Madonna's wardrobe. Or this is some wardrobe. Yeah. I should like take it to the visitor center. A vintage Gucci jacket, a lilac corset, YSL boots from the Tom Ford era, Dior glasses. So not just expensive, but significant. Madonna said these aren't just clothes. They're part of my history. She's offering a reward for the return of these clothes. Wow. But people steal stuff all the time. Like this is a memorabilia era we're in. Yeah, I know. If this were out. Well, there was also a story too, not memorabilia wise, but the person that was posing as Justin Timberlake's team and they stole all the golf carts. No way. No. Yeah, that's a whole funny story too. But this is an era where if you can steal like something that has cultural significance, you can sell it back, sell it on some sort of, I say black market. That's the cliche thing to say. I mean, I would go eBay, but I mean, is that even like, well, they track that pretty easily get busted pretty quick, probably need a private seller for that one. So I pulled some of these other sports ones because this happens in sports all the time. After the Patriots Super Bowl comeback, Tom Brady's game war in Jersey that was stolen directly out of the locker room was a big story. I remember this because there was no break in. It was just taken from a secure area. The thief was a credentialed journalist who had access to the room. He had actually stolen multiple items over time, including another Brady's Super Bowl Jersey and a von Miller helmet. It was his thing. He just knew he had access. Dang. And it's probably just a little sneaky little grab. There's a Jersey right there. No, for sure, thought out. Oh, yeah, you think so? To get Brady's. Yeah, for sure. Like this I've done it before. This is the moment I can go. This is precisely where I'm going to go. Otherwise, if you want to get like Gaskowski's Jersey, that's much easier. That one, they grabbed it. It's Tom Brady's freaking Jersey. So that was one, but they did catch the person. The FBI tracked it down to Mexico. Wow. Recovered everything. So and that wasn't about somebody breaking in. That was somebody that had access. Yeah. What do they say the killers in the house or calls coming from inside? The answer is the calls coming from inside the house. LeBron James, Miami Heat Security Guard stole hundreds of pieces of memorabilia over time. One of the biggest items was LeBron's Game 7 Jersey from the 2013 NBA finals. The guard sold it for $100,000. It later resold at an auction for $3.7 million. Wow. So this is and now they know this. It was a slow, unnoticed operation. This guy was doing for a long time. It's like the office space, one little thing at a time. Yeah, when they just do it like that. Since little. It's weird though that that thing sold for $3.7 million. Like they never got it back. It just now belongs to the person who paid that is crazy millions of dollars to it. Michael Jackson, or excuse me, Michael Jordan. Before a game in 1990, Jordan's Jersey was stolen from the locker room. There was no backup number 23. So we had to wear number 12 with no name on it. No way. You imagine the panic when he's like, I can't find my jersey guys. He went on and scored 49 points, but he wore the number 12. The original Jersey has never been recovered, which is why this story exists still, because it's kind of mythical. I kind of want the number 12 Jersey now. Like, where is that thing? Well, somewhere out there, though, that 23 is one of the most memorable jerseys ever. Yeah, the one that you have that the one that was stolen from the locker room. And then one other one, Wayne Gretzky's memorabilia heist. So not a big hockey guy, but I know that he was part of this. No, but they broke into his house, his dad's house. No way. Yeah, they broke into his dad's house in 2020 and stole a ton of stuff. Game, you sticks, jerseys, gloves and award. Somebody knew that was Gretzky's dad, obviously. And when in police eventually recovered a lot of the items, most of the items. After a multi province investigation, so Canada. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, they broke into the dad's house. Wow. Most of these, though, even with the they're not break ins. They're people who knew people. I feel like Madonna thing. I don't feel like a bag of Madonna's clothes just fell off the back of a cart. And if so, I want to know who was driving the cart because they put it on the very back, the very back halfway off. Yeah. And they hit some bumps on purpose. So it would come tumbling off. Because I don't think the regular person who finds a bag with something in it, say, even look in the bag and you're like, wow, this is Gucci. This is why this is look like the average person is going to think like, I can make money off of this. The average person is going to go. This should be this is not mine. Oh, my God. Yeah. And the average person is probably going to post it on Instagram. Look what I found and like want to flex it. They're fine. Right. Then it's just not going to disappear. And they go, I fell off a golf cart down a bumpy dirt road. Exactly. Hang tight. The Bobby cast will be right back. And we're back on the Bobby cast. OK, I got two other ones. We will get into a story that was in sports and now it's crossed over into pop culture, which is the head coach of the Patriots, Mike Vrable and Diana Rossini who worked at the athletic as a reporter. The pictures come out in Sedona, Arizona. And at first, you know, they're interlocking fingers. And this feels like ages ago. It does. It does. And they like how you're telling the story. That's how we first found out. And they're like, not in the pictures of us. We were with friends. Yeah, just hanging out with a bunch of girls. A girl's trip. He drove up from football day. And I don't know. And we're just been friends. And then slowly it just starts to leak out. Maybe that's not what happened. And then people started doing the interlocking finger. Yeah. So then in the last couple of days, you saw the pictures of them in a bar in New York and they were sitting facing each other. And I think Heather just been sitting at a bar in New York, facing each other. I don't think those would have popped as hard because it had been like, oh, they're together. They're talking at a bar. No big deal. But they're touching each other. They're touching in like one legs in between the other legs. He's grabbing her elbow. It's like leaning. It looks like he's about to kiss her. There's been another photo that has popped up from them. 2024. I think it was pre Super Bowl and Biloxi at a casino together. What I think is there. Why are they so out in the open? I know. I mean, carefree as of like... You're both very well for sure is famous and she's famous in that world. In the sports world. Yeah. There are a lot of people that are going, why is this even a story? People cheat all the time. You're right. That's true. But when you have two famous people cheating, that's always a massive story. Always. And it's like a crossover hit. If a Rascal Flat song gets so big a country and it goes to pop, like we in Nashville had that song existing for a long time before people pop heard it. That was in the sports world for a good four or five days before it ever crossed over. That there was something going on there. Yeah. Yeah. And so we knew about it and why it got to the top of the charts in the sports world is because she's a sports reporter who supposedly is doing it the right way, going to her sources. She's beating out other reporters because she's better at sort. Turns out, most likely, she was getting a lot of the information because she was better at. Yeah. Getting in touch with the information. Touching the information firsthand. The weird part has been in the last couple of days. Stuff has come out about her husband, who looks a lot like Michael. Yeah, he does. It resembles him a little bit. So they have kids and one of their kids's name Michael. And according to the timeline, she was with Frabel pre Michael. I don't think that's for Abel's kid. Yeah. But that's a weird coincidence that the kids named that. It really is. And there was a post, you know, four days after she had the baby and she's like, just looking at my four day old, Michael, and just thinking about all the great football players and coaches named Michael. What? I just love that the Internet goes into just research mode. Well, they pulled every tweet of hers out. I just kept thinking, is she going to shut her Twitter down? Yeah, she she locked her Instagram up maybe a day or two before private. But her Twitter was vulnerable and people were because anything, even if it didn't actually mean it, now it looks like everything. Yeah. Was connected to it. That's that's true. Yeah, videos, everything. There was one that was like, man, had a great day. I'll be walking funny. Had a great night last night. I'll be walking funny today. And so people were reposting that and it really probably didn't mean anything about. Yes. So did you see the video where she's talking about being in Miami? And she's like, man, I went hard in Miami. She was like, my husband, I didn't tell my husband all the stuff I did. Or yeah, in the end, the reason people care is because it's two celebrities doing it. Yeah. And the story is if they would have just admitted it for at first, it would not have gone on this long. The fact that they said, stop paying attention to this. It's laughable. I think is what one of them said. When people feel like you're trying to get one over on them, they go in double time. They double down on you. All that research starts getting done. It's got to suck for her. Yeah. Here's who it sucks for. Her husband, their kids. Yep. Mike Vrabel's wife. Yep. His kids, his kids. And you know who it sucks for? Way after that, her. She's the one that did it sucks for her. And she got fired. Yeah, she got fired. Her contract was coming up anyway, but yeah, she got fired. She got fired. Wild story. Wild how this is taken over pop culture. Because it is so sports, but people love human stories. Yep. Final one here is First Mother's Day is coming up for me. We had a kid six weeks ago or so. And so what's my angle here? To make her day special. OK, that's so easy to say. That's like what people say. What's your advice for a relationship? Communicate. This is interesting. Do I go big gift? Do I go handwritten, long note, no money? Like what? Man. What would you say? You know my wife. I did know your wife. And let me just kind of go back to like, you know, just me celebrating my wife's Mother's Day when we first had kids. You know, like when we had our first son, you know, that first year, it's interesting because I would think that my wife would want to break, right, like Mother's Day, let's go and I will take you to dinner or lunch or whatever, we'll go hang out at the lake, whatever. And no, the opposite. My wife wanted to just hang out with the baby. I find that to be true right now. Because again, it's so newborn. And I think her having the baby close to Mother's Day is different than if the baby was six months old. Sure. But I do find that now I'm like, hey, do you need to break? And she's like, no, I actually enjoy it. I'm with the baby right now. So this is amazing. I'm good. Yes. Like sometimes she'll like want to go shower or do something human. And I'm like, God, I got you covered. Or like she went to like get her haircut or something and I watched the baby. But you're right about that. Is that at times when I'm like, you go do you, she's like, no, I'm doing me. This is what I want to do. Yeah. Even now we have four boys and like oldest is 18, young is a seven. And it's like, do you want to take a break? Like for Mother's Day, like we can go to a movie, we can do whatever you want. She's like, no, I want to hang out with them. So man, what do you think she would want to do? Like all three of you guys, like have you guys left the house? No, because the baby hasn't got its two month. Yes, we have to do walks, not around any other people. Two month shots. Yeah. Yeah. And got them yet. OK, so you can't really do that. You can't really go somewhere. By Mother's Day, though, I could. Could you? Yeah. Was that in two weeks? I don't know. It's like May 11 or something. May 10. Yeah. OK, all right, we're getting there. OK, I mean, I think that'd be kind of cool to take her somewhere, take her out because you guys really haven't done anything with the baby because she's going to want to spend time with the baby. Are you thinking gift? I don't know. I I I've never even thought about Mother's Day. I know. Because one mom's I've been alive for a long time. And so she hasn't. My wife hasn't been a mom that's just been so off my radar. If you would have asked me six months ago, what month is Mother's Day? No idea. I wouldn't have even know what it was in May. Yeah. So it'll be a date now that you'll remember. Man, is it on? Is it like Thanksgiving, like every fourth Sunday? Or is it on actually like the 11th? It's on a Sunday, though, right? Always always on a Sunday. OK, second Sunday. So second Sunday in May. Yes, I was on that Sunday. Man, did I tell you what happened last year, though? Last year, my family, like I didn't forget Mother's Day. My wife's birthday was just a few days before Mother's Day. And so I just felt like it was a double celebration. Sounds like a leading end to the day. I forgot Mother's Day. It was bad. So I was just kind of looking at it like, oh, we celebrate the birthday and then do what I normally do, buy flowers and a little Mother's Day balloon, put it in the kitchen and boom, there's Mother's Day. But the kids never said happy Mother's Day. Like, and it was almost a point where I was like, do I tell them, like, hey, guys, it's Mother's Day, like go tell your mom happy Mother's Day. Let's do something for her. But I didn't. And the whole day, nobody said happy Mother's Day to her. I did, but my boys didn't. And she was on you, though. It's totally on me. Yeah. And it was just bad. She was just like, I cannot believe we went the whole day and you guys didn't recognize Mother's Day because I always thought like, you know what, we did the whole celebration. It was like a three day celebration. But no, that didn't count. So yes, do something. Do something. Yeah, we'll do something. I just don't know. What she really wants. Have you asked around like a little hint here and there? No, I literally and my wife is good. I could literally say, what do you want? She would tell me that I would get it for her and she would be happy with it. But that's not your style. No, it's not my style. And also I don't like to be done like that. Because then she's telling you what to do. No, I don't like it. If it's something that's on my birthday, if she goes, what do you want? I'm like, I don't know. I don't want anything. And then when she doesn't give me anything, I'm like, why don't you give me anything? That is really put the screws. I want you to figure it out. Right. I should be worth the investment. Right. But she's not like that. I know, but I feel like she's worth the investment. So I don't want to ask her. So that's coming out. That's my mind. Yeah. That's interesting. So for everybody out there, Mother's Day is coming up. Do not forget it. May 10th. And if you have kids, tell them to that it's Mother's Day and have them do something as well. One other, this will be an honorable mention. And so what we call this show today, Things You Missed It. In case you. Oh, I see. We do that thing, huh? I see why am I. Yeah. In case you missed it. I see why am I whatever the date is in case one word or two words. Well, and I always forget this one in that it's I see. So it'd be two. But if I were spelling it, I think I would write it. I'd write it. It doesn't sound like one word. I'd write it one word, but I don't. Is that right? One word. Did it do the little autocorrect? In case if something is true, it is to I'd be wrong then. Yeah. The other thing is if we could get Dylan to come up to a microphone for a second, so Dylan works production, we'll be able to see him here. But I started watching the Hulk Hogan documentary on Netflix. Oh, have you seen any of it? I've not. Controversial guy, obviously. Yeah. I watched the first episode. It's really good. And so Dylan, how old are you, Dylan? Now, yeah, 26. OK, so what do you mean now? You'll see why in a second. So we were talking about this because you did you watch some of the documentary? Have not seen it yet. OK, who? Brandon, did you watch it? Anybody watch? OK. So we were talking about it and Brandon was like, watch first episode. And so I love wrestling, especially wrestling back in the day. And Dylan, you were where were you in Florida? I think it was clear water, maybe. Why were you in clear water? Just vacation. And so he said there was a Hulk Hogan. Do you have his own store or a statue? Yeah, he had his own, like, I don't want to say memorabilia store. It wasn't memorabilia, but it was like just wrestling. Like a museum. Is it on a main street? And he's got like there's like a mannequin outside. Yes, I've seen it. Yeah, you know, I'm talking about. I've seen it. Yes. Go have a story. Yeah. So me and my dad were out there and we're like taking a photo and with the statue of him out in front of it. And this big black truck rolls up and the window rolls down. And we're obviously not looking. And all we hear is why don't you guys go in there, buy yourself something real nice. And we look and it's freaking Hulk Hogan. No way. Oh, just wait. So it's Hulk Hogan. There's more. There's more. Yeah, not only that. And Brandon clarified this and I'll say it in a second, but he did give us 500 bucks. He's like, go go get yourself something real nice. He hated on 500 bucks from the truck and said, go buy yourself something nice. But he's just giving himself 500 bucks. Really? Well, no, he's got to pay the people. But you also didn't have to spend it all. That's true. But we did. He literally gave you 500 bucks. Yes. And we were trying to get a selfie, but it was like the red light turned green. That is amazing. Crazy story. But yeah. So what? Hulk Hogan pulled off. Follow up. What did you buy? We bought two belts, two replica belts. One was WWF and then the other one, I think it was like a Smackdown one. Did he sign them? Were they signed in the store? No, just replica belts. So, dude, what was he wearing? Like that's crazy. You have a bandana. He didn't get out of the truck. Was he just bald head? No, he did have a bandana. Oh, he did. Yeah. So that's cool. Yeah. In this documentary, I've only seen one episode as of now. And this is the last thing he did on camera before he died. Like he can barely walk around. Really? Yeah. I mean, imagine because he's in his 70s, I think when he died. Imagine being a wrestler, especially back in the day day. Yeah. When you just slammed. I mean, yeah, hard. But I thought the Hulk Hogan story was wild. That is amazing. He died of heart attack. He died, I believe, in surgery or like after a surgery, right? Yeah. Cardiac arrest. He was 71 during surgery during or right after. Dang. Wow. What a crazy story, Dylan. Same thing. He told me that I could stop thinking about all day yesterday. Unbelievable. I thought about it so much. I started the documentary. I got on the treadmill and I was like, I can't believe Dylan got 500 bucks a month again. I'm turning the documentary on. That's awesome. So watch that on if you love wrestling. And I did miss that. So thank you. Well, you missed in case I missed it. Well, you never had a chance. Never knew that. Never had a chance. All right. That's in case you missed it for this week. Thank you, everybody. Mr. Bobby Bones on Instagram for me. That's at producer ready and we will see you guys soon.
