Speaker 1: So I wanted to do this bobbycast about being black bald and celebrities that have been either kicked out of places or black bald from things, because I do think that's what's happened to me. Now, I don't have official paperwork, I don't have a signed letter. There's been no big public announcement about this, but in my opinion, and that opinion is based on some facts, some vibes, some people that started suddenly pretending like I didn't exist, I do believe that I've been black bald from Dancing with the Stars. This trophy right here, I'm the former champ. After I won the Mirror Ball. I guess they decided there's a do not invite back list and I'm on it. So I don't think it really even bothered me because I didn't notice it. Therefore I never acknowledged it until somebody that works within the organization was like, hey, yeah, you don't get invited back, and I don't really know why. So I don't get invited back to the finales. I don't get invited to even stand in the crowd awkwardly and clap in sequence like some of the people do, and some of my friends that have been on the show do get invited back. They haven't even won the show. I have been back two times, and that was because I had a friend on the show, and that's because I called them and said, hey, I'm coming back, and so look, I get it just on this show specifically, and I do have the mirror ball. If you're watching this on YouTube, right here beside me, just so you know, I'm not lying. I was the greatest dance champion ever. But I was not a great dancer. I was a great vote getter, and maybe that messed up their whole system. In fact, it did because they changed the rules the season right after I left to make sure that good people wouldn't get kicked off the show. But I do feel a that I loved my time on the show. It was awesome. I do feel like I was the least difficult person to work with on the show. I think generally I'm a very easy person to work with. I mean, on that show, I was gone half the time. I was either training in Nashville and the show shoots in LA and I would get back in time to do the show, or I was on the road on the weekends because the show shot on Monday, and I would tour and do stand up Friday night and Saturday night and get back to Los Angeles. I mean my partner Sharna listen. I don't know why, but she wasn't even on the show for years after we won. I think this is the first year she finally gets to go back. So if you've ever been politely ghosted by Ballroom Dance, I know your pain, because I do feel like I've been black bald from Dancing with the Stars. But this episode isn't all about that, but it's kind of what inspired me to do this episode. So today we're diving into some of the other famous people who've been banned or booted or black baled or just kicked out, or however you want to describe it. Because if I'm going down, I'm going down with the lead company, and let's start. I think I have eleven of these. It's a weird number. Have oddly numbered list all the time. At number eleven, Shinead O'Connor. The date was October third, nineteen ninety two. Shnead O'Connor performed Bob Marley's War on Saturday Night Live. Now that's not a song that I know super well. I know, don't worry bad a thing. I know that one. I know three Little Birds? Is that the same song I was just singing.

00:03:22
Speaker 2: No.

00:03:23
Speaker 1: So she's performing and it's an a cappella performance, and at the end of her performance, she holds up a picture of Pope John Paul the Second and she rips it in half on live television. I was not watching when she did this, but I've seen the clip a bunch of times. In nineteen ninety two, I was twelve. I don't think I knew anything one about Bob Marley or really Shnead O'Connor, and I think I was just now getting into SNL. And also, if you didn't watch it live, you kind of didn't see it. Back then, it wasn't like now where everything lives online. But she rips that picture in half and says, fight the real enemy, and what she was doing was protesting child abuse in the Catholic Church. This is years before the scandals that we know now were widely publicized, so NBC was crushed with complaints. Lauren Michaels banned her from returning to Saturday Night Live, and that pretty much derailed her US career. Now she was seen as being ahead of her time because years later, you know what happens, all that kind of comes out about all those priests that were touching kids. Yeah, that's exactly what happened, exactly what she was talking about. She rips the picture and says, no, let's not let this happen. But she was kicked off and she ultimately lost her career because of it. I think you would know her from one song, Nothing Compares to You. There's actually a Prince song that she sang and made a massive hit, but that was it. She was kicked off SNL and basically didn't have a chance to be a pop star in America. Next up, and we can do SNL again. As Martin Lawrence nineteen ninety four, he was hosting SNL, he goes off script in his monologu and it's very graphic, and it was an extended rant about women's hygiene, specifically vaginal oder you know, and in the nineties, I mean even today on SNL, you'd be like, what's even happening there? In the nineties even weirder because nobody did that. NBC obviously freaked out. They cut the monologue from their reruns and they put them on an unofficial blacklist, and he didn't return to the show for over twenty years. The incident became legendary because again, here's SNL again telling somebody else you can't come on. But it also felt like Martin Lawrence was testing how far he could go, and he found the line. I've done that a few times where you're like, I'm wonder and then you find the line real quick. Another time that I was kicked out of somewhere was it's probably early two thousands. I went to Texas State University to speak to a class about radio and television broadcasting. And I went specifically into the radio class and there's probably about thirty kids there, and there were all ask some questions, and I remember saying to them, Hey, look, if you're in college just to study radio, you're wasting your time. Like either get started working for real, Like if this is what you want to do, get started working for real, because you don't need college. But if you're in college, that's great. I didn't, you know, I didn't know anybody, None of my family went to college. I wanted to be the first person to graduate college. And if you're in college for that reason, that's awesome, but find a different thing to get your degree in. So I go on, I give this speech, and I felt like, that's pretty real with them, and I was like, if you're studying radio, don't study radio. Get that in the real world. But if you want to stay in college, learn something else. That can be something you can fall back on. About a week later, I got a letter in the mail, the actual physical mail sent to the radio station, saying I was never invited back to speak at Texas State University. Pretty much Martin Lawrence in the Vaginal Odor. That's very very similar things there. Elvis Presley was censored on the at SULVN show Elvis performed in nineteen fifty six. You've probably seeing the clips. CBS refused to show him from the waist down because his hips was basically sex on black and white television vulgar. I mean, that's what they said, like the TV guide remember when that was the thing. But Ed Sullivan had said he was not gonna book Elvis at all, but he did want the ratings. And so Elvis comes on dances, they don't show below his hips. He comes on again, They're like, dude, you got to chill out a little bit, he doesn't chill out. They're like, we're never gonna invite him back. But the ratings, like I said, had been going up and up, so they had them back and they showed full body. And the thing about censoring somebody is once people find out somebody's being censored, they really want to see what's being kept from them. So once they showed Elvis and full body, like, part of his appeal was we're not supposed to see this, and he kept doing it. And that's kind of what we know Elvis for. If you were doing an impression, it involves a lot of hip gyration well and lip like this. This is not a good sample of me doing the lip, but that kind of that looks like I have having a seizure. The visual amazing Madonna was banned from the Vatican. In nineteen eighty nine, Madonna released Like a Prayer, which showed her kissing a saint, dancing in front of Bernie Crosses, and basically challenging a lot of Catholic imagery. The Vatican condemned it immediately, which again, once they did that, it just made it bigger. I think that's something you're also going to see is that once people publicly say, yep, that's true, we no longer allow you, or we no longer want you to do ABC or D, then whatever they're not wanted to do actually becomes bigger and more meaningful. Her nineteen ninety Blonde Ambition tour, she had that and Pope John Paul the Second called for a boycott of her concerts in Italy, accusing her of satanic behavior. And you know what Madonna did, She just did more because she knew all the press it was bringing to her shows, and so that kind of made her under the massive pop star that she was. Yep, you gotta have talent. Yep, the timing's got to be right. But also if the right people push against you and you push back, you're even bigger because of it. And so you saw that happen to Madonna, and she's one of the biggest pop stars in the history of you know, American pop music. We can talk about Pete Rose, who forever was banned from the Baseball Hall of Fame. Now this is a bit different because he now is not banned from the Hall of Fame. He's not in yet, but once he died, he's now allowed to be in so he's baseball's all time hits leader two hundred and fifty six hits. He was banned for life in nineteen eighty nine because there was an investigation into him betting on games while being a manager of a team. That team was Cincinnati Reds, and he said he never bet against his team because that'd be cheating, right, because if you bet against your team, you can actually make decisions to make your team lose. Therefore, you would make more money because you're a manager and you're betting, and you obviously have insider information, even if you're betting on your team to win or you're betting on other teams. Once he admitted to the gambling, they were like, you're out, You're done. So he has admitted he's signed a bunch of balls. I'm sorry I bet on baseball. He lobbied for reinstatement, very divisive figure while he was alive and forever. The Hall of Fame refused to consider him, but just even a few weeks ago they have now said, now that he's died, he can be up for the Baseball Hall of Fame, which is kind of crazy, like, if you're gonna let him be, I don't know, can you like death bet him like a special rule where if someone's dying and it's closed, you like throw him in real quick. But yeah, he'll never get to see that. That's crazy. Tanya Harding was banned for life from US figure skating. Now we'll go back to the nineties for this one. In nineteen ninety four, Tanya Harding's ex husband, Jeff Gilllooley, and her bodyguard they attacked Nancy Carrigan. Nancy Carigan was her skating rival. They were both from the United States. They were both gonna go to the Olympics, and they later did go to the Olympics. Nancy Kerrigan did I believe Kerrigan ended up bronzing. But they popped Nancy Kerrigan in the leg. They clubbed her in the knee with like a stick, so she was unable to compete and like the US Championship, one of the US ones. So Tanya Harding denied knowing in advance that it was happening, but evidence showed that she knew after, but she was never found guilty of being a part of actually planning or clubbing Nancy Kerrigan in the knee, which, by the way, if you've never seen. I think it's Eitan yet with Margot Robbie. You should watch that. It's awesome, like Margot Robbie kind of kills it. I think Tanya Harding did Dancing with the Stars too. Justice for Tanya Harding now I don't know about justice, but she pled guilty to hindering prosecution. She was banned for life by the US Figure Skating Association. No Olympics. I do think though, that Nancy Carrigan bronzed Brandon. We looked that up. For me, say if Nancy Kerrigan medled in that Tanya Harding was all over the tabloids and then I Tanya was nominated for an Oscar way later on run our Test. If we're staying in the athletic world, he was suspended eighty six games. Now he wasn't kicked out of anything for life or black ball, but this is a massive suspension. If we go back to two thousand and four, The Malice of the Palace, there's a documentary on Netflix. You should watch that if you don't remember the game, and we probably weren't watching the game live as it happened, because you're talking about just a regular NBA regular season game. And so this happens as pacers and pistons and there are people, they're fighting the fans. It is unbelievable. Like when this is over or pause this, go look at the clips of malice in the palace. So a fan threw a drink at run our Tests as it was going down and he charges into this. I'm talking about swinging hard. Players are fighting, players are fighting fans, Fans are throwing stuff. Ron oar Test was suspended for the rest of the season eighty six games, the longest suspension for an on court incident. It changed league policies. Security increased, still has increased. Alcohol sales were reduced, like there's a cutoff point. And that was to a time when NBA image control became a priority. Dude, it's crazy to look back at. And now they've also done documentaries with the players talking about that night and they're all they all get along now pretty much. Br Anyway, you seven weeks Nancy Carrigan won silver seven weeks. Hey, better than bronze by one. And there's your factor the night the silver is better than bronze by one.

00:13:50
Speaker 3: Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor, and we're back on the Bobby cast.

00:14:05
Speaker 1: The Rolling Stones were banned from complete cities in the late sixties and early seventies. The Rolling Stones were blacklisted from entire cities due to how rawity their fans would get, also drug busts and arrests. We can go to Boston nineteen seventy two, the mayor was starting to cancel their show because of fan riots in New York City. There were drug arrests, and they had been suspected of excitement of rowdy crowds. Really, the Rolling Stones were just a symbol of anti establishment and rebellion through music, and that was a time when there was a lot of anti establishment sentiment. And I think that also helped fuel their mystique because these politicians, which are just like white dudes with insecurity issues, saying we don't like the Rolling Stones. It made people love the Rolling Stones even more. Justin Bieber was banned from China in twenty seventeen. China's Mystery of Culture cited Bieber with quote bad behavior, with quote bad behavior, and a need to purify the entertainment environment, and that included public outburg shirtless annex at the Great Wall because he's up on the Wall, but he was shirtless a lot. I guess you just don't do that on the Great Wall. He also was caught drag racing in Miami, but that's not even China. But China has not lifted the band as of right now. Of Justin Bieber from their country. Oasis was banned from a specific airline and from MTV for a long time. They're back together now, which is pretty cool. But those guys hated each other. But the Gallagher brothers were a disaster. They were kicked off a Cathay Pacific flight in nineteen ninety eight. Liam was smoking, drunk and harassing passengers, so the airline banned them. I've not heard of that airline, but it is pretty baller to be banned by an entire airline. Also, it's funny that they were harassing the passengers. It wasn't the passengers harassing them for like an autograph. He was so messed up, apparently allegedly that he was harassing the people on the plane. We can also go to nineteen ninety six MPTB unplugged. Noel agreed to play without Liam because Liam pulled out last minute, because Liam was like, my throat hurts and then you may have seen the video where Liam is then in the balcony like heckling the crowd and his brother on stage, so his throat wasn't heard in that bad But they were banned from MTV for that. They were banned from multiple UK festivals. They would walk off of shows all the time. But again because it was so shared when there wasn't social media and shared equals celebrated. It made them so known. And once they were so known, usually you liked their music. They made great music, and so they were adored. They were hated a little, but mostly they were adored. And I thought it was pretty cool that Oasis announced it getting back together. Imagine all the millions of dollars they gave up by just being brothers who didn't want to talk to each other. I have one other one and it's Hank william Senior who was banned from the Grand Ole Opry. Yeah, I'm talking about the Hank Williams. Like, if you were to do a mount rushmore country artists in the history of country music, Hank Williams would be one of the people you'd put up. There were for most people, you know, you're cheat and hard. That guy He pretty much built the Opry stage with his sound, and then he got banned in nineteen fifty two. Hank was the biggest starr in country music, but behind the scenes he was what a lot of artists at that time were, and that was struggling alcoholism, chronic back pain and now and we know this now because we have more knowledge of the situation mental health issues. So he would play the Opry, but then he started missing Opry performances, and then when he would show up, a lot of the time he would show up drunk or just wouldn't show up at all. The Opry, known back then for being very strict and for being squeaky clean, had a three strikes in year out energy, so they fired him and straight up banned him and told him don't come back until you get sober. And he never made it back. He died a year later at the age of twenty nine, in the backseat of a Cadillac. He never stepped foot on the Opry stage again. Now decades later, there were petitions and campaigns to reinstate him after his death, but the Opry never officially lifted the band because to be a member of the Opry, you've got to be alive, so you can't really put someone dead in the opry based on the current opry rules. So he died banned from the Grand Ole Opry. So that whole situation became a symbol of how strict the rules were back then and how those same rules cost country music. Really one of the country music's brightest lights, which was Hank Senior, you know, one of the people that made country music super famous. So what I'm saying by all that is, I'm basically like all those people. I'm just like Hank Senior, Ron Artest, Snead O'Connor, Oasis, and Justin Bieber. That's right. And I know I've not been banned officially from Dancing with the Stars, But when you go from winning a national TV show to you know, not even getting a like when you post a funny comment on the Dancing with the Stars Instagram page, you know what's up. And you know what, I'm fine with it. I never would have thought about it until someone called to tell me. I didn't even realize I was banned until someone called to say, hey, you're banned. I don't need the glitter under my eyes. I don't need the two two that I wore. I just need this trophy right here, and you know what I have it. It's the people's trophy right there. But if they ever want to do a redemption season for people who were quietly banned, I'm ready to chat chah, I'm ready to get back in it. No, I I was pretty terrible, But that's the homework I put into me getting what I think is banned from Dancing with the Stars. See, that's what I'm motivated by when people tell me that you can't do that anymore. I appreciate all the feedback from the last episode that I did by myself here, and I have five other questions that you guys have sent me since then. You can always DM me questions. I think this is a fun way to kind of, you know, put a button on these episodes. Number one, Dear Bobby, what do people assume about your success that isn't true? And I want to just assign this to whatever success that I've had, but I will assign this to the athletic success success in the business world. And I think, you know, I'll talk to Eddie or some of my other friends about this and they'll go, well, that quarterback won a super Bowl. He's probably good, Like he's probably checking out now. And I think my statement back to them is whatever is ingrained in you, because in order to be wildly successful at something, first of all, there is a ton of sacrifice in other parts of your life. Secondly, whatever screw is loose, it has got to be the right screw. But that screw doesn't screw itself back in after you've quote made it. There really isn't a finish line for somebody who's already mentally unstable. And that's what wildly successful people are for the most part, Like there's something missing in the lives of those people that they feel they have to make up for through whatever they're trying to have success in. And for me it's been whatever, radio podcast, spoken word books, whatever that case is. And I think the most misunderstood thing is that you just get to a point and then once you reach that point, you're like, I'm all good now, I think I'm on a coast if anything gets the opposite, because you get to the point and you start to be scared that it was a fluke, or people think it's a fluke, or it's not gonna last, or you're becoming irrelevant. So I think that probably the most misunderstood thing about success, especially in the entertainment world or in the athletic world sports, that you get to a point you crush it and you're like, well, I got there, I'm good now, Because if anything, I think it's very much the opposite of that. Next up, Hey, Bobby, do you think you're more driven by fear or ambition? I think my ambition is created by fear and insecurity. Much like that first question, I think most of what I do is fear based. I think any success I've had has been fear based success. I think my fear comes from growing up very poor, moving around a whole lot, living in a trailer park, not being able to have three meals a day every day, sometimes not seeing an adult for a few days, you know, when you're ten, eleven, twelve years old and kind of having to figure it out yourself. And so I think a lot of my I'm going to be successful started with I'm going to get the he out of here, and how do you get out of here? It is to be extremely disciplined. I think disciplined consistency are the two hardest things. I never really try to be dynamic. If it happens, that's awesome, But you can't remain dynamic forever or all the time. What you can do pretty much all the time is be consistent and have discipline. Like that's the real success. I don't need somebody that's like amazing some and then pretty crappy other times. I kind of mid others, even for people that I work with, Like, if they're not consistent, they're not going to be a part of the team. And I'm out looking for A plus efforts followed by a C and then maybe an F and back to an A. I don't care about that. If it's bes all the time, that's awesome, as long as you're giving me solid bees and solid effort all the time. But I would say I'm driven far more by fear and insecurity, or at least was still am But it used to be really like running on red you get in the car. I don't, but you know how you see in movies where people hit the gas and it goes over to the red. I think that's what the first thirty seven years of my life were just on red the entire time. And when you're on red, because I've seen it in television on the movies Boom sometimes it blows up, and I've had a couple of those.

00:24:22
Speaker 2: The Bobby Cast will be right back. This is the Bobby Cast.

00:24:36
Speaker 1: Next up, what's the weirdest or funniest fan interaction you've ever had? Well, when it comes to people saying what's up, I love it because that means you appreciate or it consume something that I do. But I think the weirdest is probably in the bathroom. There have been multiple times where a dude has come up while I'm at the journal, and it's kind of weird in the bathroom anyway, because that's such a odd, personal, vulnerable place, but especially when you're junk is out, and I also realize no one's coming up to me because they see my junk and they want to see my junk. But mostly it's like, oh, dude, Bobby, what's up? And I literally got it in my hand, So that's weird. Once I was at a urinal and there's a urinal right next to a stall and the stall obviously there's a wall and there's a commode because that's why there's a stall. But the dude stands on the commode, looks over and goes Bobby Bones, I knew that was you, and as he looks over, I mean, you're looking right down on my dangling. So that's probably the weirdest. I think if I were to list one, two, and three, all three would be in a public bathroom somewhere. I appreciate the love, and I know that it's never on purpose. Two more questions, Hey, Bobby, do you think reality TV helps or hurts someone's career? It's funny because they did not know we were doing this episode on how I've been blackballed allegedly. I think it used to be double edged, and I think it used to be held against people, especially in the world that we live in a country music and in Nashville, because they would come off the Voice or American Idol and people would look at them as just a reality contestant who's now trying to make it. But now nothing matters. And I say that in a great way, like nothing matters, but everything matters, but nothing matters so much that it alone is going to make or break someone's career. So when people say, hey, should I go on a show for me, it's yeah, because you're just exposing yourself to more people. And I think now and the four years that I was on American Idol, they don't force you into contracts anymore. If you get to a certain point, you don't have to sign this major deal with them. Were back in the day day when those shows were killing. If you made it to a certain point, you were then signed. You were obligated to be with whatever that entity was. I know there were certain people during the American Idol days, back way before I was on, when it was like a monster, that would leave right as they got in the top twelve because they did not want to be bound to whatever that agreement was. That doesn't happen anymore, And the main reason it doesn't happen anymore is because people just won't go on the show. If you're thinking about it, like I don't know do I want to do this, and then you see, well, if I make it, I then have to sign with this management or this label. That's going to cut down eighty percent of the people that would even think about doing the show. So what I would say is, dude, go get on it. Get on everything, because the more things you get on, the more people can see you. And it's all about building your base. The people that are going to come to your shows are going to buy your merch that's it. And those shows will do that now. And you know, if you look back to I think just about everyone has tried at some point to get on one of those shows. If you're an artist now and you've been in the game for ten years or less, you probably either tried to get on and didn't, got on and get kicked off early, or got on and did okay. Morgan Wallin was on the Voice. He's like singing pop songs with like longer ish hair. I think Maren Morris talked about how she got rejected for Idol. I think Hillary Scott from Ladya same thing, like tried out for American Idol and didn't get it, and it's always you was like, well, look how terrible idol was there is But mostly those shows are TV shows. They're looking for kinds of artists and they need to fill certain buckets. And then also it's mostly just like low level producers doing those entry rounds where they just watched much people singing, like the people that kind of sound good they put through they may not even understand what they're looking at. So it's very low level people in those early rounds that are watching all the singers, and then they have like five thousand singers a day, so people are bound to slip through the cracks. All right, that's it. We did it again. We did it again. Who's that we did it again. I want to tell you a quick story. So I was on Instagram the other night. Is about two thirty in the morning. I have trouble sleeping. So when I wake up, now I know my body enough. That's like, if I wake up at two two thirty in the morning, just get up, go into the kitchen, eat some cereal, restart, then get back in the bed. I tried for a long time just to keep my eyes and shut and just like, come on, we can go back and sleep. That never works. And having had dealt with these issues now for probably two years, what works for me best is almost going like all right, here we go. I'm up, let's start over, and let's rewind down. But the problem is I'm not always in my right mind whenever it's two thirty in the morning, because I've awoken right in the middle of sleep. I'm still kind of tired, but I'm not so sleepy that I fall asleep but my brain's not on full capacity, and so I end up writing things or buying things, like I bought some stuff that we open up here on the sports YouTube page, like autograph balls, and it all came back his garbage. But I spent like close to one thousand dollars on all this stuff, and none of it was good. But I was on Instagram and I saw Lionel Richie post that he's doing all these shows, and I'm like, dude, I'm in I got to come to one of these shows. I wrote that in a message on Instagram story to Lionel Richie and he responded the next day, because he does his own social media at least reads it, and he goes, just tell me which show, and I go back and I look at it and the entire show list is all European shows. So he's in Europe for like the next two months. And now I've committed to go watch Lionel Richie in Europe. And I love Lionel and I know Lionel, and Lionel has been awesome to me in my career, especially on American Idol. He was great, so kind. But his manager reached out to it was like, hey, Lionel says, you want to come to one of his shows in Europe, like tell Us, which show Lionel would love to see you, Let's go. And I'm like, oh no, I just committed to go into Europe to watch Lionel Richie. I wish I could go in America to watch Lionel Richie. Then he sent me a message last night he goes, how about Copenhagen, And I'm like, I don't dip. That's not what he meant. He wanted me to come to Copenhagen. I knew what he meant. I was just kind of kidding. So now I've got to decide if I'm going to go to Europe to watch Lionel Richie do a concert, which I would love to do. I tried to go watch him once in Hawaii because American Idol would send us out every year to Hawaii. We would work from the Disney Resort and it was one of the stages before the Top twelve. So I went from like forty to twelve so every year, and that is a long trip from Nashville. It is a long trip. For two of those trips, I think I flew Delta later on Luke Brian and I would fly private and we would go out together, and that was pretty baller. Not gonna lie to you, But for the first couple of years, I'd fly Delta and I remember Lionel saying, Hey, I'm gonna do a show before we start shooting. I don't in Hawaii. You should come out. So I left a day early. I'm going out. I get on the flight because Ida was paying for it. It was first class, and I'm sitting in the first class seat and I start to feel terrible and I tell the flight attendant, Hey, I'm not feeling very good. Do you have any like advil? My head was killing me, and so she gives me stuff. I'm drinking a bunch of water, but I just feel it like come over me. And so I go into the bathroom and I vomit hard into the toilet in the bathroom and I'm like, boy, this is this is not good. Go back to my seat. My head's still killing me, and I say, hey, just keep the waters coming. I need a blanket. I'm like freezing. At the same time, back to the bathroom, I'm vomiting again. At this point, I realize I'm gonna be in the bathroom for a long time because I'm just not feeling good and vomiting every two or three minutes. But I'm also in like a airplane bathroom, so as I'm vomiting, and as I'm sitting there, because when you vomit too, you're also like you're out of breath, You're feeling disgusting. I'm also scrubbing the bathroom with wet paper towels because if I'm gonna be trapped in there, I don't be laying in everybody's And so I was probably in that bathroom for like fifty minutes. And I remember as I was sitting on the floor, opening that bathroom door, and imagine you're a flight attendant and you see some guys head down at the bottom of the bathroom door, and I put my head on. I'm like, hey, I'm gonna be here for a while. I'm pretty sick. But when I left, cleanest bathroom in the history of Delta, that's what I heard. Now, that's what I made up. But I did not get to go to the Linel show because as soon as I landed, I went to bed, and I was sick for that day and then got to go shoot. So maybe I should go to Europe, but man, that is a long flight. I do love Lionel. All right, that is it. Thank you guys, appreciate you. Please subscribe to the YouTube channel.
