We also tackle the wild and wacky, from a 'Weekend at Bernie's'-style stunt by two Ohio women at a bank, to a high school fundraiser that went off the rails with peanut butter and a dash of toe-curling fun.

Speaker 1:
Welcome to Eden and Amadeus. The podcast.
Speaker 2:
We have a lot to share with you. Today. Tim McGraw is going to be joining us. We talked to him earlier this week. Heard part of it on our radio show and the rest of it you're going to get to hear. We referenced that we're about to play his song One Bad Habit. Because of podcast rules and rags, you won't be hearing that on the podcast, but what you can do is Google it. Yeah, it is such a. Or listen to Gator Country.
Speaker 1:
It's a great song. I think it's going to be his next number one.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, we also, of course, have all this week's episodes of the Battle of the Sexes for you to listen back to what?
Speaker 1:
and.
Speaker 2:
I definitely want to talk about Oscar nominations before we get to that and some other movie stuff. But what story Ami stood out to you this week as the either funniest, most outrageous.
Speaker 1:
Well, because my memory is so bad, I'll talk about one from today.
Speaker 2:
Okay, that's a good idea, because I remember something we did to this.
Speaker 1:
This is a great story of these two ladies in Ohio that they were around 60-ish and they rented a room from a guy who was 80. They got home, the guy was he had deceased and they propped him up in their car like weekend at Bernie's and drove him to his bank and withdrew a ton of money, pretending that he was alive and sitting there. And then they got his money and took him and just dumped him off at a hospital.
Speaker 2:
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:
Luckily, because of cameras, they caught these two very quickly. But all I can do and I know this is a very sad story, but all I can picture is this guy in like the weekend at Bernie's sunglasses.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
I had on someone in the back seat moving his hand going hey, how you doing Like a lady.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, exactly Like I don't know my debit card, I'd like to use that. I don't know. It's the whole, just the whole thing is comical. I know it's terrible, it's tragic, it's disgusting. But these women, 60-year-old women, to think let's just prop him up In the car, pretend he's alive and take his money and there's a third party too that's implicated here too, because obviously these ladies weren't able to move this body around by themselves, and then just dropping him off at the hospital after they got his cash. How heartless can you be.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it's horrible, but it's one of those stories that stick in your mind.
Speaker 2:
The story that sticks in my mind from this week, I want to say was it Wisconsin? I can't even remember where this high school was that the kids did the fundraiser where they had to lick peanut butter off each other's feet and everybody went crazy over that. And now the faculty wasn't involved in it, but they definitely were there for it because it was in the gym as part of these games. That was a fundraiser.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, no adults at all involved, it was all the kids.
Speaker 2:
But you saw like video of these kids just sitting there with their shoes off. Other kids are licking peanut butter off their toes. It was super weird. I don't guess they're going to be doing that again. I mean, it's one of those things will show me the rule. Well, there isn't one written, but we'll go ahead and get that written.
Speaker 1:
Did they make like 150 grand?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, overall, because they did a whole week's worth of stuff, which is a tremendous amount of money for a high school to raise.
Speaker 1:
Hey, I say, if kids want to lick peanut butter off each other's toes, go for it.
Speaker 2:
I mean, you've been a proponent of making money off of your feet for a while. You just can't get anybody to go along with it.
Speaker 1:
No, I've been a proponent of you making money off your feet.
Speaker 2:
And you can't get me to go along with it.
Speaker 1:
And I can't get you to go along with it. I don't think, anybody, I don't think there's a market for guys' feet.
Speaker 2:
I think there's a market for everything.
Speaker 1:
I don't know.
Speaker 2:
I think there's a hundred percent of market for guys' feet.
Speaker 1:
Then I need to learn how to do that.
Speaker 2:
You just watched Resident Alien the episode where. I don't want to give anything away for anybody who's not caught up in this fantastic show Resident Alien. Good bingeable, because you have three seasons you can watch the start of the third season, but there's a whole thing about that.
Speaker 1:
But I don't know if that's like the ridiculous for that show. I don't know if that's a thing. Okay, I just don't know.
Speaker 2:
I think it is. I think the Oscars are happening this weekend. You've seen a lot of the movies more than most people for the best picture and you think Oppenheimer is gonna clinch it.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, I think Oppenheimer was such a great film and Christopher Nolan is such a great director. I do think it's gonna win best picture. And I don't even have the other nominees in front of me so I can't even reference any others. But yeah, I wrote down my nominations earlier, my predictions earlier.
Speaker 2:
So the other thing I wanted to talk about that I wrote down as a note where movies are concerned is you have a recommendation for people who like a horror movie, that one that just came out.
Speaker 1:
Mm-hmm, it's called Uh, imagine a mat imagination. Yeah, imagine a. I can't remember the title now Wow imaginary imaginary imaginary it's.
Speaker 1:
It's a horror film about this little girl who has an imaginary friend and her stepmom who is freaked out by it. And I gotta say the trailer doesn't give too much away, which I love. Normally they do and on this particular one there's like a whole nother storyline. That's not even in the trailer. And there's a lot of good. I love a good jump scare and there's not enough in horror films now and they're kind of like you expect them and you know they're gonna come, so they're not that much fun. This one's got some great ones. There's some nods to the darker side of the Alice in Wonderland story and there's even some nods to nightmare on Elm Street, which I loved. So it's really a fun film and if you're a movie goer and you like horror films, I think this is a fun one.
Speaker 2:
Okay. Yeah, and as far as other movie recommendations go, completely different than that movie is the one that you saw by accident when you attended the Unseen screen unseen right. So what is that? Tell everyone how that so?
Speaker 1:
AMC and I believe other companies do this as well.
Speaker 1:
They have this thing called screen unseen and you basically go into a movie and you have no idea what are you gonna see, like you literally have no clue what you're about to watch. And this week it was a new Anthony Hopkins film called one life and it's a story of a guy who is a British banker who goes to Prague pre-World War two or right before the invasion of Prague by Hitler and Tries to save as many of these children who are living on the streets it's winter, they're literally dying in there in their, in their parents arms and he saves. I don't want to give too much away. It's a story that, if you, if you remember, way back when YouTube first started, the real life story was, was was a big viral video and I remember watching that. So the first time I saw the trailer for this movie I was like, oh yeah, I remember this story. But they just tell the whole story and it's very heartwarming and very uplifting and it's called one life and I think it's really, really worth seeing okay.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, really really great.
Speaker 2:
Well, we teased it at the beginning. We had an opportunity to talk with. I call him a friend because you know he spent a lot of time here in our city, jacksonville, florida. His mom still is close by and. He's coming to town next week here and he's on tour, probably to a city near you. I'm sure it's Tim McGraw. Hey, good morning Tim. How are you?
Speaker 4:
I'm doing well, looking forward to seeing you all soon. Let's talk about this tour, because you're kicking it off here kicking it off there, which is fantastic because my mom's birthday is the 10th, so just a few days after my mom's birthday.
Speaker 1:
Are you gonna be in town for like a week rehearsing at the arena? A couple of days We'll be rehearsing very cool.
Speaker 4:
We're excited about that. Me too, I mean I, you know I'm excited. I just saw the stage completely built last week or the week before last, something like that and it looks incredible. So I'm excited for everybody to see it.
Speaker 1:
It seems like more and more a lot of artists are kicking off their shows here in here in Jacksonville, and I just feel like we're such a great music city and it makes me feel very proud of that.
Speaker 4:
Absolutely. Some great music came out of Jacksonville in the area for sure, and and I spend a little time in Jacksonville, you know playing, playing music. When I was first starting out I I played at the pig barbecue, played quite a bit, got kicked out of a few gigs throughout the. I remember playing. I forget what the name of the place was some club there and I think we got halfway through our first set and the owner came over. So you guys have to go.
Speaker 1:
And now he's looking back, going dang it.
Speaker 4:
Oh, I couldn't believe we got kicked out, but you know we were pretty bad, I guess.
Speaker 1:
Tim, when you're building the set list for a tour like this, you have like 47 number ones. How do you?
Speaker 2:
pick.
Speaker 4:
It's tough, that's the toughest part putting together a set list. Y'all are always going to leave someone disappointed Because you're not going to be able to get to every song that everybody wants to hear. Because you know you got playing a few new songs and this year we're trying to go back and do A lot of the songs that people we haven't played in a while Maybe that people haven't heard in a while certainly heard us play live. So we just try to create an experience, you know, try to create sort of a roller coaster ride all the way through the show where you can kind of get lost in it.
Speaker 2:
Does your mom have a favorite song? Are you going to pick one for Betty?
Speaker 4:
Gosh, I don't know what mom's favorite song is. Probably I called mama, but I don't know that that's in the set list, oh no.
Speaker 1:
I got to tell you I still love Indian Outlaw. I just every time it comes on, I just Thank you.
Speaker 4:
We've done that one for years and years. I'm not sure that one's going to make the set list this year or not.
Speaker 1:
If not, I'll listen to it on the way home in my car.
Speaker 4:
There you go. Maybe there'll be a good walkout song in the lights there you go All right.
Speaker 2:
so let's see, we have so much to cover. I don't want us to run out of any kind of time, but we have to ask you this one you know your gym has become so important on the road with you that it actually has a sponsor now, planet Fitness. Who gets to use that gym, tim?
Speaker 4:
Everybody gets to use it. I mean, there's a certain period of time that it's blocked off where I'm in there and then it's open for the rest of the day. But we also, you know, we do like three workouts a day and the last one's outside. So it usually ends up with a lot of the opening acts and the bands out there with us and it starts out with about 15 or 20 people in our sort of our CrossFit afternoon session and then by the time we get to the end, it dwindles down to about two or three.
Speaker 1:
We were just watching some of the video of you working out on YouTube, I believe it. I was going to say if I'm ever invited, please let me know, because I can be a camera guy, oh well we'll just give you a heavy camera so you can go to work on it.
Speaker 2:
He doesn't want to push a sled or do his battle.
Speaker 1:
ropes no sledge hammers none of that stuff. I can hold a camera.
Speaker 4:
Well, we won't work you too hard.
Speaker 2:
Well, you certainly built some good habits these days, but let's talk about one bad habit. That song Is another huge hit.
Speaker 4:
I love that record. It was one of those records that was interesting when we went into the studio. I loved the song. I was trying to figure out what to do with it because the demo was way different than the record we ended up making. It was slower and a whole different sort of arrangement. And we went and sort of dug in deep on that song because we felt like it was a really great song. And when we finished it we thought, wow, this turned out really good. And I didn't know we had it finished when we put the Stand Room Only album out. And then we had this whole other group of songs that we wanted everybody to hear, and that was one of them. So that's why we put out the Poets' Resume AEP so we could get that song out and a couple others in there too.
Speaker 1:
And speaking of Stand Room Only, every time that song plays on the air I have to take my headphones off because I can't talk afterwards, because it just, I mean, it gets me right in the feels. It is such a beautiful song.
Speaker 4:
It's an incredibly gorgeous song and that was one of the last things we cut for the album and it became the album title and I'd had it for a while just again trying to figure out how to tackle it, because it was just such a beautiful song and I didn't want to go in and ruin it.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, the title is deceiving because you don't realize what it's going to be about. All right, we want to be respectful of everybody else's time with you today, so we are going to have to say goodbye, but we're going to listen to one bad habit.
Speaker 4:
Right on, right on. I appreciate you guys and look forward to seeing y'all down there.
Speaker 2:
Safe travels, tim. Thank you, tim, thank you. And, as I mentioned, we can't play, obviously, the song right now on the podcast. It's all kind of legal stuff.
Speaker 1:
Can we sing it? Let's sing it. You go ahead. I'm not going to sing it. You do not want to hear that.
