Hey guys, welcome back.
I hope you had a good weekend.
We had an extended weekend.
We were off yesterday.
But we're here.
We're ready to go.
Morning, studio.
Morning.
I do want to start.
start with this. A bit
of a dumb debate of the day.
Lunchbox wants to know if his mother-in-law was flirting
with him. This has been a recurring
theme because you think your mother-in-law
She has feelings for me
that I'm attracted to me.
Like she would like to maybe take it to the next
level. Like she flirts with me what I feel like
all the time. When has she flirted with you
in the past? Oh, like I would be there.
Like we were there for one Christmas and I'm sitting in the
recliner and she walks by and she just kind of rubs
the top of my head. Like, weird.
Like, and anything I
say she lasts. If I'm in the kitchen, she always comes in there and like, oh, you know, you need help.
Like, oh, you need to know where the peanut butter is? Like, no, no, it's in this cabinet. She just is
always helpful. Helpful. And I don't know. But yeah, isn't that just being kind?
Do you feel like there's a little more to it? Yes. I always, and like on text messages, like when
in the group, the family chat or whatever, she always responds to mine first. Do you tell your wife
this that her mom comes on a little strong? Yeah. My wife's like, oh, no, she's just like, and I'm like, no,
gets flirting. My wife says, I think she just gets nervous because you're on the radio.
I said, I don't think. I think she's impressed that I'm on the radio and she's trying to get
like in some. So you have a new one you want to present to us. Okay, here we go. Here's the dumb debate
of the day. Tell us the story. So last week was her birthday. And so I was trying to be nice.
And I was like, okay, my wife's like, you need to text her. It's her birthday. And I was like,
okay. So I texted her, happy birthday to the best mother-in-law in my life. Because obviously,
she's the only mother-in-law in my life. Like, she's my mother-in-law.
law. And her response was, thank you. That means a lot, especially from you. And she put a
smiley face emoji. Like, I mean, let me tell you, okay. Where were you convinced it turned into flirting?
The emoji? The emoji, the smiley face emoji takes it to a whole new level, but especially
from you. Yeah, that part's weird. Maybe because she didn't expect to get anything for you.
Maybe. Does she have any other son-in-laws? No. Because that's the joke back at you.
Oh, yes. But she didn't say my favorite son-in-law.
in-law. But especially from you, that's the only one.
She has a daughter-in-law.
No, but you're the only son-in-law, though. That's a good catch.
Guys. That's like the volley back over, especially from you.
But what about the smiley emoji is a whole other level when you include a smile emoji?
If it were a kissy emoji?
There is something about parents, like our parents, not us as parents, but the older generation of parents when they use emojis.
That's weird.
Right. That's a next step because they don't, they don't do it.
they don't know how to use them properly. I don't think
it's that they're trying to be creepy.
I know. I know. But like when my
dad would use an emoji, I was like, Dad.
That's an eggplant. Dad, we're talking about it.
Okay. But Lunchbugs
is a smiley face. It's not like she sent a winky
face. That's what I said. It wasn't a kissy face.
But what if, I mean, my, and also
I went to the thinking, like, what if she was trying to send
a winky face and she accidentally hits smile?
Well, you can't go what if. Right. So, is this
flirting or not? Amy. No.
Eddie. I thought the especially you was really,
shady, but after a while, after you said what you said, I think that you're spot on.
Like, that was just...
Especially you, because there's not many other people that can...
I mean, it's like, there's not a big pool for her to choose from.
She's going to get this message from.
And the emoji was just a ha-ha, like, I got you.
Yes, the emoji was the joke's back.
Yes, and it makes perfect sense now.
Morgan, floating or no? No, not at all.
She was just being nice to him.
Ray?
I don't know. I think there's a way to find out, though.
He needs to send back another text and do the way.
winky face and see if she responds
to that.
So go on with the flirting, not a bad idea.
No, because I don't want to flirt back.
I don't want to send the wrong. I don't want to send the wrong
signal. Then your wife is going to be like,
why are you sending my mom winky faces?
Because there are stories like this, right, Bones?
I don't know if there's stories. They're mostly
internet clips that people watch.
The sites they shouldn't be on.
And they had to start somewhere. So it probably
started with just a text.
And then a response back.
And then a smile emoji.
So do you want to kill it?
None of us think she's flirting or do you want to pursue it.
Love it.
I mean, I'll send it.
So I would send them, I would send the message back.
What would you, what do I construct it?
What do I say?
What do she say again?
She said, thank you.
That means a lot, especially from you.
Smile face emoji.
The especially from you is like it means a lot because she's not expecting lunchbox to take the time out of his day to send a note.
I would just say this.
Well, you mean a lot to me.
Wink.
Wink.
Ink.
Oh, boy.
Or what about the blowing the heart?
What, blowing the heart's tough.
Yeah, we need to start with the wink.
Because wink, she won't be able to actually determine if he's kidding, like joking, like, hey.
Or if he's like, hey.
That's what I would say back.
And if she comes back even harder, well, we've got a story.
Oh, boy.
So what is my line?
I forgot what I said.
What did I say?
So what was her last thing?
Thank you.
That means a lot, especially from you.
Well, you mean a lot to me.
Oh, you do it right now.
I can't do it right now.
She's sleeping.
It'll wake her up?
I'm not going to have her wake up to that.
But think, that might be the best thing to wake up to.
Yeah, what if she's like?
This isn't going to be a bad morning.
Today just does not let.
Oh.
Things are looking up.
All right, do it today.
I will.
All right, let's get.
I'm the trouble we get ourselves into.
Okay, hit that theme song.
It's something we call Bobby's Mailback. Yeah.
Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been going back and forth, but I've recently decided
2022 might be my year to try therapy. I love how open you and Amy have been about your therapy
experiences over the years, and I know you just recently started going to a new therapist
and was hoping for some advice on getting started. What, in your opinion, are some of the
most important traits and red flags to look for when starting with a therapist? Also,
how do you prepare yourself for starting with seeing?
a new therapist.
Would love any positive or negative feedback you have to share.
Thanks for being a supporter of mental health and open about your experiences.
Love the show, signed, Mental Health Matters.
Therapy's been an eye-opening experience for me because where I come from, we didn't have therapy.
I mean, I guess it was there, but also, you know, grew up in the 90s and early 2000s.
Mental health wasn't something that people really pursued.
I mean, now it's really not a priority for a lot of folks.
And I started going to therapy when I was about 26 because I figured out insurance paid for it.
As a kid, I didn't go to therapy.
We had to eat.
You know, you don't worry about things whenever you're struggling to pay the bills or you're struggling to eat.
And I also was kind of raised in a place where I was like, you don't need therapy?
Who goes to therapy?
Cuckoos?
I mean, that was it.
That's a small town, extremely rural kind of culture there.
But that being said, it has been something that has been just wonderful for me.
And insurance pays for most of it.
Hope you have insurance that does the same for you.
Questions.
Is she talking about red flags with herself or a therapist?
The only advice that I would give is when you're looking for one,
go to a lot of them.
I'd say it's like dating even because they're humans too
and you're going to click with some more than you're going to click with others.
I did.
I mean, when I find mine, it's usually four or five deep.
And also no, I just know too.
It's like with Caitlin.
I was like, oh, this is the one with my therapist too.
It's been like that.
Like, oh, wow, we kind of click.
You understand where I'm coming from.
why I have this.
So I would just say trial and error on this that you haven't done it.
You need to have a few experiences.
Amy, what do you want to say?
Yeah, I would say, well, just depending on what you want to go for, like, I'll just give
an example of something a therapist can specialize in, maybe eating disorders.
Like, if that's something, like for me, when I was looking for someone a few years ago,
I made sure that they focused, that was an area they focused on.
So you can see what areas, like even on their website, that they highlight, that they
specialize in.
so make sure they're in that field that you are wanting some help with.
And then don't expect them to fix you by any means.
Go into it knowing.
I'm shocked by this.
Well, no, that you don't, don't go into it like, oh, I just going to go to this person
and they're going to help fix everything and tell me everything I need to know.
Like, it's going to be opened and know that you have to put in the work at the same time.
I would also end by saying the greatest thing for me about it was having someone to talk to
that did not have bias because of my life.
They literally are sharing what they've been trained to do without fear of living with you,
without fear of being your friend or working with you or telling you something.
So you go in, they give you the best information they can give you.
And they don't see you for a week or two weeks.
So they don't.
The no bias was such a big deal to me because I live in a world of no people.
Everybody just says no to me all the time.
So I needed someone to finally say yes, you know?
Yeah.
Is that true?
No.
Yeah.
I was like, wait a second.
I'm lost here.
But yes, I think that that's important to be open.
to the work and then also
open to the feedback. That's something
I've had to accept. Like, I go
in and sometimes I think I'm right about something and when I
share it with her, she's like, Amy, actually, you need
to go, you know, do a repair
with this because you're in the wrong.
That's probably a lot. No.
No. We're big fans
of it. You know, if you're going to work out your body
in the same way, I think it should work out your mind.
You know, for a lot of people, it is not an up. There are also
online ways you can do it. Oh, yeah.
And for a lot
or two, where you can get on the phone and do it
and do it reasonably priced.
So, yeah, we encourage you.
Been a big fan of it. It has helped me in so many
ways, and I hope it helps you too. So thank you for
that email. Let's close it up.
We've got your email and we've read it
on your air. Now it's about
to close Bobby's Melty.
Yeah.
Adults have constant pain
that was incurred during childhood.
Do you have anything on you or in you, Amy,
that still hurts from being a kid?
I have a scarred at my forehead
And that hurts?
Well, it just says there
The other day I was looking at a picture
And it just screams down the front of my forehead
And you don't see it unless I'm turned exactly right
But I fell as a kid
And I don't know that I feel it
But it's a scar that is always like, hello, remember me?
Well, I have a scar on my forehead from one as a kid
I don't feel it
But a doctor recently told me
That's likely what caused my ADD
A scar on your head?
No, that injury to my head
Really?
Yes
She wishes that she could
talk to my parents. I was like, well, they both have passed away, or like a teacher that had me
around age seven or eight to see if my learning and attention was the same pre-head injury as it was post.
She's diagnosing you at age seven? Yeah, well, no. Is this one of your witch doctor, doctor?
No, not at all. Because you do go to some of those. This is a licensed therapist that works with the brain.
And she said that my, what my brain scans show is the trauma to that area. She asked if I'd ever had trauma
to that part of my head. I'm like, look, here's my scar.
Well, my uncle looked at my scar once. He's like, you're an idiot. That's what he told me I was.
That's therapy right there. That can be just as traumatic to have someone tell you that.
Most people, well under the 30s and 40s, are still affected by a dumb childhood injury.
Health officials are trying to stress the importance of avoiding injuries among kids and always
wearing a helmet and avoiding extreme sports. Oh, wow.
Doctors recommend getting your injuries re-examined since there have been
advancements in technology and medicine since our childhoods.
That is basically what I'm saying, guys.
And I have stuff from the peanut gallery here.
I didn't believe me.
Is that us?
Am I part of the peanut gallery today?
I'm so wondering.
You might be because you're not believing what I'm saying, which I could get her.
I can get her to explain to you better what she discovered.
I'm number one peanut.
I never get to be a peanut.
Amy, I believe you.
I googled it and said children with a serious head injury are more likely to develop ADHD later in life.
Thank you.
I played football through second grade all the way to high school.
You probably have different head traumas.
I don't know. I hate it getting hit.
I got one time I took a knee to the head and I saw three yard markers.
Three, three. And I was like, oh, I'm for sure. I had a concussion.
But you know what I did? I got up.
Walk to the sideline and complained. And I didn't go back in the game.
I was like, I can't see straight.
There's another story that reminds me of you, Amy, because there was this cat.
And the cat likes to hide in the chair.
And the family donated the chair.
And all of a sudden at the store, they keep hearing, we're like, where?
Where does this cat coming from?
And so they get into the chair and they find the cat.
They're like, oh my goodness.
We actually have this person's cat.
Wow.
Does your cat climb into anything?
Yeah, she hides in all kinds of things.
A cat has been reunited with its owners after he got stuck in an armchair that was donated to a Colorado thrift store when they moved.
Wow.
Montecula, the cat, has been reunited after being found inside a recliner.
He is believed to have climbed into the piece of furniture and a panic when his owners were moving.
And then they were like, where's cat?
We can't find the cat.
And then they moved.
And that stinks too.
Poor guy.
What are they supposed to do, though?
Stay back for the cat?
I would have.
So there's people couldn't find the cat anywhere.
Finally, the store called as like, hey, we think, they tracked it down.
They have their cat back.
Montecula.
Montecula.
Is that how he said?
Yeah, that's what you said?
What is that?
Oh, that's the name of the cat.
Monty.
Yeah, but what does that mean?
I think that's just the name of the cat.
No.
You think Monticula is some Spanish?
Oh, no.
I've never heard that name of my life.
Oh, Montecula?
Oh.
That's from the Daily Mail.
The latest from Nashville and Hollywood.
Morgan number two, 30 Second Skinny.
After performing on Jimmy Fallon this weekend,
Jordan Davis drove about 30 minutes to surprise two fans at their wedding
whose first dance song was his latest single, By Dirt.
Here's a clip of the acoustic performance.
Thomas Wrett has a new album called,
called Where We Started coming out on April 1st.
It will feature collaborations with Katie Perry, Riley Green, Tyler Hubbard, and Russell Dickerson.
He shared what fans can expect from the music.
Great songs that remind you of your past and also a lot of songs that make you want to party.
And those two coming back to back to back to back to back to back to me make for a really unique listening experience.
Two new tours announced for this year, Sam Hunt is going on a headlining tour kicking off in Arizona in February.
and Zach Brown Band is headed on their out in the middle tour
kicking off in April in South Carolina.
Tickets for both tours go on sale this week.
I'm Morgan number two.
That's your skinny.
It's time for the good news.
With producer Eddie.
Yeah, I'll make something good.
Picture this.
There's a music store in Colorado, and every day a teenage boy comes in,
picks the same guitar, and he plays it for hours and hours.
Well, another customer comes in and he realizes this.
He sees it.
He's like, wow, this kid really like.
his guitar. So he goes in one day and tells the store owner and says, hey, how much is that
guitar? He gives him the price. He says, let me buy him. Don't tell him that I'm buying it,
but I'm going to secretly buy it for him. When he comes in next time, tell him that guitar is his.
So they wait months and months, and this kid never comes back. And they're like, oh, no,
he's not here anymore. Well, it turns out he moved, but he came back to visit his grandparents
and he comes in the store and the owner says, oh my gosh, we've been waiting for you to come
back. Here's the guitar and it's yours now. Somebody bought it for you.
Wasn't it like a dime bag, Daryl, like Pantera guitar?
Yes.
Yes, and have you looked at the prices guitar?
Yeah, they're very expensive.
It's not cheap.
How much?
So it's a little under grand.
And so they bought them to get...
And even the store owners were like, uh...
Are you sure you wanted to...
Where is he?
Yeah, I mean...
But he happened to come back home to visit.
It was a couple of months.
Pretty crazy.
That's a cool story.
Good for that person who bought the guitar, anonymous.
I love it.
And the kid got the guitar.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Okay, on the phone right now is Armand in St. Louis.
Arma, what's going on?
Um, question for everybody, but mainly, uh, maybe Morgan and Amy can help.
I've been married for three and a half years now.
What do you get your wife for Valentine's Day if she hates the holiday and has never celebrated
it?
That's interesting because I, listen, I have not been a big holiday guy and my wife is trying
to do that to me now in a different way.
Not really Valentine's Day, but even Christmas.
And so my advice, because this is how I've been treated and, uh, in a good way, is that you
make it so fun, cool, awesome for her, that she starts to like it and want to celebrate it.
Like, you can change up the culture of the holidays because that's being done to me right now,
especially if you want to celebrate her, Armin.
So that's what I'll say as someone who is experiencing this right now for different holidays,
is that you can actually turn it around for her by making it awesome for her.
And she's probably always going to feel like she's dragged into it.
Like, you know, I don't like this.
People do that with birthdays too.
You know, I don't like this.
But you nail them with an awesome party or awesome gifts.
or awesome just thought from the heart.
They're like, oh, man, these didn't have to do that.
This felt awesome.
This is amazing.
So she probably hates it.
Again, I'll go back to the culture word.
She probably hates it because the culture of how she grew up, it wasn't a big deal.
She was told it wasn't a big deal.
She lived it wasn't a big deal.
So aside from maybe Amy telling you what to get her, I think you got to flip how she thinks about it.
Amy, your thoughts?
Yeah, I mean, if she doesn't like over the top, like a big focus Valentine's Day,
then maybe you don't go like the flowers and chocolate.
But she will.
She will.
That's my point.
She only likes it.
because she's never had it.
But there's other things you can do to make it a fun, exciting day.
But if she doesn't like it, it's because she's never had it done right for her.
Oh, okay.
Well, he's been married to her for three and a half years.
My question is, what has he done the last two years?
Because, like, just now he's like, hmm, now I'm going to do it and she's hated it.
But I was thinking more of, like, something to just make sure you know you're thinking about her,
like get her a massage.
And if she likes that, that's where my head goes of, like, making it a special day for her,
but doesn't have to be, like, you know, screaming Valentine's.
Armin, go all out, buddy.
I'm talking about head to toe every second of the day.
Like, let it rip.
Yeah, not that you usually think.
Let it rip because once you show her how amazing it can be,
she will know then how.
But then the problem is you have to live up to that.
Right.
Which has gotten me in trouble a little bit because now I've got to always outdo the next one.
But again, I will stand by what I say.
It's like people who hate birthdays.
People who hate birthdays haven't been treated right on their birthdays before.
Nobody gets treated wonderfully every birthday
And celebrated and made to feel so loved
And they go, well, I hate my birthday
No, that's because you've been treated right on your birthday
So
So what?
You're saying my mind's a bad idea?
No, I'm saying
Yeah
It's not a bad idea, it's not
But I think if she's never celebrated it
It's a deeper core issue
Gotcha
But you can also get her a massage
Okay
Get her massage on like a Wednesday
But it has nothing to do with Valentine's Day
Okay.
Morgan, you want to add anything here?
I feel like going in between you guys too.
Just ease into it.
Take her to dinner.
You can buy her some flowers when you take her to dinner
and kind of ease her into loving the holiday.
Never ease into it.
Cannonball in, Armin.
Armand, how do you feel?
You just heard three different people give their stories.
So hopefully you will pull from one of them, okay?
I love listening to you guys in the morning.
God bless you guys and love you all.
Hey, thanks, man.
Let us know what you do and how it goes.
Go hard, Armin! Go hard!
He goes hard and she's like, okay, we're done.
Well, that's rude, and that won't happen. They've been married.
If anyone leaves you for loving them too much, they weren't for you anyway.
As a joke.
Over on the phone is Caitlin in Iowa, who is listening to the show.
Let's talk to Caitlin for a second. Hey, good morning, Caitlin.
Morning. Morning.
We have a chance for you to win some money in the next segment.
Would you like to play a game?
I would love to.
But you have to say like a money like that
What scuba's waving me down? We have no money for this one we have no money I'll give her money
Okay, all right yeah, he's freaking out that's most of the money anyway like it
Would you like a chance to win my money? Catelyn, I would love a chance to win your money
Scuba just jumped up with road flatters like we have no money
I'm out of money
Okay, well we'll let you have a chance I'll give you money if you win okay
Sounds good. Okay, hey
Hang on for one second.

We're going to play Never Gonna Get It.
It's a really impossible question,
but she has some chances to win here.
And I was told by Scuba as we came into this break
that we had no money to give away,
which is most of the time here.
so I will put my money on the line.
Okay, Caitlin.
Sounds good.
Okay, I will start.
Here's what I'll do.
I'll start with $100.
If she nails it, I'll give her $100.
If one of you guys nail it, I'll give her $50.
If she wins the coin toss, I'll give her $25.
It continues to drop, but since it's my money,
that's how she'll win it.
So she can win $175.
No, no.
You got it all wrong.
Okay.
Caitlin, we're going to play Never Going to get it.
Here is the question.
about one and six Americans
leave themselves an hour or less to do this
even though they know it's probably going to take more time
they leave themselves less than an hour to do this
something that should take an hour
but they don't leave themselves an hour
okay think about that
oh man about one and six Americans leave themselves an hour
or less to do this
we give about 30 seconds Caitlin to think about that answer there
All right.
Just think about that.
Now, if you get this, you will win $100.
Okay?
So go ahead.
Impossible, never going to get a trivia.
Go.
I want to say, get ready for work.
Okay, get ready for work.
Is it get ready for work?
It is not.
But there's still some money to be won.
All right.
Now, you can team up with anybody on the show.
And if they get it right, you will win $50 of my money.
Money.
Monet.
Who would you like to team up with?
I think I'm going to go with Amy.
Yeah, it's good.
Amy, good luck.
You're going to win her some Monet.
Okay, I have cooked dinner.
Cook dinner.
Okay, that's Amy's answer.
We're going to hold that for a second.
Morgan.
I have working out.
About one and six Americans leave themselves an hour less to do this.
Both those are good answers, by the way.
Eddie?
Now, I've never won.
Never going to get it.
But my guess is cook dinner.
Lunch box.
Well, guys, me most,
It must not be cooked dinner because we're all in the obvious train is cook dinner.
Come on.
Okay, so cook dinner is three of your answers.
Wow.
Yeah, because if it's never going to get it, like three of us wouldn't get it.
Right.
I mean, that's why going to work, like, when she said that, I was like, that was too obvious.
That's what first pops in your brain, but too obvious.
Okay, Kaelin, I'll let you stick with cooked dinner if you'd like.
Or you can change and go with Morgan.
I'll give you the option there.
Not work out.
I think I'm going to stick with the majority and stick with Amy.
Okay.
Amy says, cook dinner.
Is it cooked dinner?
Oh, sad.
Oh, no.
It is not.
Okay.
Is it work out?
Is it work out?
It is not.
I'll actually tell you the answer.
It's bored and airplane.
They say, you know, get to the airport an hour ahead.
Most people don't.
They get there like, oh, God, we've got to go.
We're late.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
50 minutes.
Oh, that's me.
I'm running to the plane.
every time. You still got a chance here to win
$25. Or
Oh, there's an or. I can spend the one in ten dice for another $100.
Hey!
I'm trying to give you all these shots here. More money.
Caitlin, would you like to take a one in ten shot to win $100 or a coin flip to $125?
Gosh, I feel like my odds are better with a coin flip.
Is it fun? Is it fun, though?
Okay, let's go with the one in ten then.
Let's go!
Yeah!
Pick a number one through ten.
Seven.
It's a good number.
The number is.
You got it.
Come on.
Nine.
Oh.
What would you have picked on a coin flip?
Head.
Tails.
Okay.
All right.
It's never meant to be.
It was not her name.
It was not meant to be.
It was not meant to be.
All right, Caitlin.
We cannot give you a prize,
but we appreciate your calling and playing with us.
All right.
All right.
Bye-bye.
I always hate sending people home empty-handed.
I know.
But first of all, our lawyers,
Which I've actually never met.
I just see any emails.
I just see any emails.
They always say, hey, don't get people prizes.
They didn't win.
So that's a bad precedent.
And then secondly, it was my money.
So not that hurt.
That's all good.
Yeah, not that hurt.
Let's go over and talk to Victoria in Texas.
Victoria, thank you for calling the show.
What's going on?
So I was hearing your comment about the toaster,
and I knew immediately which poster you were talking about it before seeing your Instagram.
Because we just recently bought a house in August,
and my husband placed the order for that same toaster.
That was, like, super expensive.
and then I told him there's no way we need like that kind of expensive toaster and then he was like yeah but it's beautiful and it does all this things and it's so fun so then I went behind his back and I canceled his order and then he went into his messages and when he got it the notification that his order was canceled he called me immediately and then he's like I can't believe you canceled my order and he was so fit and I feel so bad because I canceled the order yeah you should and after hearing you maybe I feel like I should just order it. Oh yeah get him the toastings.
Yeah. Scova, Steve, can we reach out to this company that I mean, I've never experienced anything like Toastergate that we're having here.
Maybe we should get some of these toasters and give them away on the air if we can. I don't know if they even care.
Okay.
I would love, I would love to or I could just buy.
Guys, they're not $10,000 toasters, right?
Yeah.
No, but they're not $10 toasters, though.
That's correct, which is why.
Well, there's a big number in the middle of all that.
And it's not even in the middle.
Can you text me to the brand name so I can.
can make sure I have the right one.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd love to get a few of these to give away on the air.
This toaster saga, can't believe it.
But you know what it does?
You can put it in whatever you're cooking.
You push the picture, and it knows what it's cooking,
and you can do all the different levels of brown,
and it cooks it up to that level of brown,
and it gives you a timer.
It's amazing.
It's probably perfect, too.
And I play Fortnite on it while I wait.
Really?
All right, Victoria.
Like I said on the show, last week,
Some people flex watches and cars and houses.
And you know what?
I got a toaster that costs a few hundred bucks and everybody's lighting me up.
I mean, I've been influenced.
I'm probably about to order it.
Okay, Victoria, thank you for sharing that.
Have a great day.
Thank you, too.
Bye-bye.
All right, bye-bye.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So if you're looking for a way to manage stress,
I saw this thing about how if you just immerse your face in cold water for about 60 seconds,
it could do the trick.
No.
Why?
You don't want to do that?
You get an ice?
And I'm not doing a cold shower.
I have a friend who lives and dies by the cold shower.
He sits in it for three minutes every morning and it's like it's miserable the whole time.
But when I get out, I feel like I can take on anything.
Wow.
I do cold showers.
I feel like they're great.
You also jump in pools.
Yeah, when you're stressed, you jump in pools.
I have done that once.
You talk to birds.
I have done that once.
But this is something that could be doable.
You're just, you know, in your kitchen, make a bowl of ice water.
And then, boom.
Face first.
Hold it in there, 60 seconds.
The longer you, you.
can do it, they say the better.
You could also pinch your nipple, right?
I mean, it's that kind of thing.
It's like something that makes you go, who?
I don't think that's the same thing.
For 60 seconds?
I read this whole article.
I made up a study.
Like there was a mold.
If you can pinch both nipples, you can do one for 60 or two for 30.
Wow.
Let me see.
Same thing.
This article is from mental health experts and there's like 10 things here and I do not
see pin your nipple.
Yeah, I made it up.
And see like, get outside.
Prove it doesn't work.
That's how I say.
Connect with others.
Okay, so I have like how you.
how you use your mobile phone and how it shows your age.
So I want to know where everybody falls and what you do.
Well, I can tell you one of mine is that when I connect to Wi-Fi on my phone,
I turn it off and on, depending on house.
I will go open settings, Wi-Fi.
Caitlin's like, what are you doing?
Just grab the top corner and it's five it down.
Wi-Fi's right there.
And I'm like, settings.
Yes, me too.
My daughter's like, Caitlin.
I'm very peepa.
I'm like, all right, which is weird.
And then on Instagram, whenever I'm going to shoot a story,
I'll push, you know, up in the top corner.
I'll hit the little button.
Oh, yeah.
But no, all you have to do is, boop.
Wait, all you have to do is, wait, swipe it and then story.
Oh.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That's cool.
Wow.
I used to be out of the new all the shortcuts.
Now I'm having them taught to me.
What do you have?
Okay, well, if you're someone that leaves a voicemail, you're a boomer.
No, no chance.
I don't want to leave a voicemail.
I don't want you to call me.
Just leave me a text.
Just send me a text or send me a voice memo on my text message.
Okay.
So if you leave a voice note, which is a voice memo, that you're a millennial or Gen Z?
Whatever.
I can't always figure that out, though.
I think I'm recording.
I can't figure it out, kids.
No, I'll be recording.
Like, I'll send a whole minute-long message, and then I look at it and it's blank.
I'm like, oh, this is frustrating.
That's like someone asking the answer machine questions.
Oh, gosh.
Do you know when Bobby will be home?
Boomers also answer the phone, like the minute it rings.
They're like, hello?
I see the phone ring and I go, oh, God.
Did somebody die?
Because everybody knows, don't call.
Okay?
And then if you're between like 30 and 40,
calling someone without scheduling at first is considered rude.
Uh, uh, I don't know about that.
It's not rude.
If you come to my house and go up the door.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
What else you got?
Okay, so I have the best classic country songs,
and this is from ranker.com.
All time.
Yeah, of all time.
I got the top three.
Go ahead.
So in it number three, I agree with this one.
My personal favorite.
Amarillo by Morning, George St.
Yes.
Yes.
Boy, that's one of those, though.
I get it, but I still don't really consider this a classic.
19802?
It's old, man.
I know.
I know.
It's like food fighters being played on classic rock.
I know.
I struggle.
Okay.
I mean, the other one I'm about to tell you is from 1949.
That to me, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 70s, 70s, 70s, to me.
80s, okay.
I guess I have to accept that.
What's the next one?
Hank Williams, I'm so lonesome I could cry.
This is classic.
Loll.
Antique.
No world to live.
I'm so long so I could cry.
My hand?
Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson from 1978, Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys.
Mama, don't let your babies grow up to be Cowboys.
So good.
What was four and five?
We don't have to play clips.
What else was on there?
In it number five was Mama Tried, Merle Haggard, 1968.
And then he stopped loving her today.
George Jones, 1980.
Yeah, I would consider it that classic.
But 82 is Amarillo about two years.
Two years later, man.
Amarilla.
I know.
I guess if I ever listened to it thinking it was like contemporary.
Yeah.
Okay, is that it?
Yep, I mean, that's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Stay home is something good.
Dusty is a 23-year-old girl in Denver sitting in her apartment looking out the window
and she's watching three kids play on an ice cover.
pond. She's like, oh, looks like
they're having fun, turns back to her TV,
looks back out the window, and they
fell through the ice. So
all three kids in the pond,
she's like, oh my goodness, jumps
up, runs out of her apartment, grabs
one of them, the 11 year old, then grabs
the 4-year-old, the 6-year-old girl
she can't get, then she falls in the ice.
The 6-year-old's unconscious
she's holding on to her, someone comes to the rope,
pulls them out, EMS arrives,
and revives the little girl.
Who saw her fall in? A 16-year-old.
year old cousin of the three kids that was in another apartment.
Like all of them weren't at risk of dying.
I mean, even the mom, like shout her out.
She was a mom.
No, she was just a woman that happened to watching.
And she obviously fell in.
Like her going to save those kids was risking her life too.
Which then she fell in and thankfully someone else had a rope too.
There's a rope laying around.
Maybe they ran back to get the rope when the first kids fell in.
Maybe.
I don't know.
But yes, they're all three alive.
Very fortunate that everybody lived there.
Great story.
That's what it's all about.
was tell me something good.
All right, let's go over to Amy and get in the Morning Corny.
Morning Corny!
What does Michael Phelps use to make his homemade bread?
What does Michael Phelps use to make his homemade bread?
Speedo.
Speedo.
Speedo.
Speedo.
Speed dough.
If you spell, that's one of you see, you would think that was funny.
Got it.
Like, D-O-G-H.
Speedo.
All right.
Okay.
That was the morning corny.
We're trying to make sense out of them now.
I know. Should we keep going with the bit?
Oh.
Just a lot of misses.
There's just a lot of misses.
A couple, the days before those are.
You said they were good.
We're talking about a second ago how Amy, you and your husband are now, quote,
those parents.
Yes.
Doing what?
So my daughter is going to her first dance ever.
She's in the eighth grade.
There was a seventh grade dance normally, but it got canceled last year because of COVID.
So she missed out on that experience.
She's super excited.
She's asked me to take her shopping for a dress.
She's asking me, I don't know what to expect at a first dance.
And I was like, well, guess what?
Actually, I haven't told her this part yet.
Oh, no.
Breaking news.
Oh, no.
We have inquired about what we need to do to be a chaperone.
Oh, no.
Lamo!
Is it, though?
Here's what I would say.
To me, it seems exciting.
Like, if there has to be parents there, it might as well be us.
No.
As a kid, I wouldn't have wanted my parents there.
And I wasn't up to no good,
but I would have felt like they were always watching
and that was going to put pressure on me.
But here's what I would say.
If the school would have called you and said,
would you chaperone, I think it would have been fine to be like,
yes, we'd be happy to be there.
You need people.
Were there?
The fact that you called and said, hey.
Yeah, like, I don't even know.
Oh, no, that's the part.
I don't even know if we've been accepted or what the process is.
We've just inquired about it.
What do you think she's going to say when you tell her this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Do you think the reaction?
I guess I could ask her and report back.
Do you think the reaction will be good or bad when you say,
hey, we're going to chaperone your first ever dance
where you may be dancing with a boy for the first time?
I don't think it will be bad, but she'll be like, please don't come.
That's bad.
I would say that's bad.
Or she might be like, oh, cool.
I don't know actually.
Now that I really think about it,
because she doesn't have any prior dance experience,
I could just tell her,
no, this is customary.
So here's in her mind,
if she's just planning on dancing with her friends,
she'll probably think it's okay if you guys come.
But if she really wanted to dance with a boy for the first time?
Like, she's not into boys.
She has crushes?
Yeah, she's a celebrity crush on her lock screen.
That's my point, but how do you know
she doesn't have a crush on her boy at school?
Well, I know there was this one boy.
Okay, so that's my point.
She will not like it as much if she had a hope to dance with a boy.
She won't care if she was just going to dance with her girlfriend.
Well, she can absolutely dance with a boy.
There just has to leave room for the whole ghost.
That's where you come in, Amy.
Exactly.
You're going to dance in the middle of them with your arms out, holding them on each side.
Yeah.
You're going to, like, you get in between two walls and spread.
That's Amy with a two.
Okay, let us know what she says.
Okay.
Any chance she's listening to this now?
No. Zero.
Already in school?
She leaves for school at 6.50.
Okay. She can be listening right now. How long took her to get to school?
She's not because they don't listen. She rides as a good.
Oh, she just doesn't listen.
Yeah, like she doesn't listen. Even if it's on, she's got, like, she'll have her earbuds in.
She's not interested in our show.
How do you think she's going to react? Yes or good or bad? Eddie?
She's going to hate it. Lunchbox?
Terrible. I mean, Amy, you're becoming the helicopter parent.
Ray?
Yeah, it's a really bad decision. I think of it.
I'm not trying to be helicopter.
I'm trying to be supportive.
My parents never were chaperones.
And it's okay if they need chaperones for a parent to step in and be a chaperon as needed.
You're volunteering.
Because I thought that's what parents did.
No.
I didn't know that I wasn't going to have anybody on my side here.
Okay, let's go to someone who may support you.
I get it.
Steve? Yeah, I was thinking the whole time, I was like, I love my kids so much and I want to be there for them as well.
And I'd love to be a chaperone for the first dance.
And I think even my mom was there too when I was a kid.
It wouldn't bother me.
You have a teammate.
So I'm with you, Amy.
Thank you.
Okay.
Let's stop this.
If anyone wants to call us and they have something they want to add, we welcome it.
877-77 Bobby.
That's our phone number.
We're not hating on you.
We're just picturing ourselves as kids and our parents trying to come to an event.
Okay.
I know.
I know.
That's why I said I was that kid and I have that feeling obviously because I'm like,
oh, no, I'm that parent.
But now I get it.
No one's questioning your love for your daughter.
Right, guys?
There's no question about that at all.
None.
Plus we're fun and we dance
Your parents are never as fun as they think they are
You are fun
I don't know
I'm pretty fun
Let's go over and talk to Chris
Who lives in Maine
Chris, what's happening man
Hey guys, how's it going?
Going pretty good, what can do for you?
Good, I actually have
something to say weighing in on
Amy now becoming that parent
Okay, go ahead
As I will say as a high school teacher, I know a lot of my students really want their parents nowhere near school functions outside of sports.
And then I was also that kid.
I wanted my mom like nowhere near school dances or chaperoning.
But what if you just like drove to the school, dropped off your daughter, and then you and your husband went and had like dinner at a nearby restaurant?
Maybe she would appreciate that a little bit more
having that space but knowing you guys are nearby if needed.
Okay.
I don't know that we're trying to be nearby or helicopter.
What do you mean?
You called the school asking if you could chaperone.
They didn't even say, can we have volunteers?
You called and said, hey, if you need volunteers or not, we want to volunteer.
But you know a dance needs volunteers.
I don't know that.
I did see in an email that.
Marking attendance, like, are people that could work the outdoor, like, walk people to the cars.
And I think everyone would be like, thumbs up. You stay in the parking lot.
Okay.
It just would have been different if they would have said, hey, can we have some volunteers?
So if they did that and I volunteered, it would be cool?
Yes. We'd be like, oh, Amy, play it cool.
Okay.
Like, keep your distance from your daughter, let her have a dance.
But you're there because the school asked for people to be there.
The school doesn't even need anyone to be there.
They do.
They don't.
I just don't think they knew how to ask us.
Do you think this school has trouble asking for money or volunteers?
I don't think so at all.
Whatever.
Hey, thank you, Chris, for the call.
We appreciate that, man.
Absolutely, thank you.
Have a great day.
Let me talk to Audra in Texas, who has called us this morning.
Good morning, Audra.
Good morning, studio.
Morning.
I think it's an awesome idea.
that Amy's doing that. I've chaperones with a lot of my daughter's things. And the one thing
I've done is I've asked my daughter if she's wanted me to chaperone the events or not. And
started chaperoning when she was in fifth grade. And as she was younger, she wanted me to chaperone
more. And as she's older, she never wanted me to chaperone a dance, though. But he had wanted me to
tap her another thing. Okay, like a field trip.
I mean, that's different. Something where she could be close
to be like, Mom, can I have $5? Yeah.
That's the kind of. No one
is saying, not a single person in this room
is saying that you're not doing it
because of love. You're only doing it because you love your daughter.
Yeah, and being
involved.
Overly involved.
But it's not so we can just spy on her
and watch her. No, it's not.
That's kind of what it is. No, that is exactly what it is.
Because you're going, hey, I would like to be there.
No, it's like, hey, we want to
to support our daughter in the whole eighth grade.
How are you supporting the whole eighth grade?
By volunteering.
Okay.
We'll grab a few more calls in a second.
Does anybody support this?
I'll let some calls trickle-link because right now, no.
You have a no-one on your side.
I thought the high school math teacher was for sure going to be on my side.

just a quick reset
Amy's daughter is 14
it's her first ever school dance
and Amy wants to chaperone
now it wasn't because the school reached out and said
we're looking for chaperones Amy called
and said hey I want to chaperone this thing
emailed but yeah
big difference potato potato
reached out but yes
there is a difference in
hey you must let me chaperone this
and oh you'd like a volunteer
fine, I'll chaperone if you need it.
We know you love her.
It's coming from a place of love, but there is a big difference here.
Gosh, I just don't see the difference, but okay.
Let's go over and talk to Stephanie, who is in Texas.
Stephanie, thank you for calling the show.
What's going on?
Oh, not much.
Just sit my sister to school myself.
Well, what do you think about this situation?
So I think unless her daughter asked her, or the school directly calls her and asked her for help,
then she should hang back.
I think she should only go on her own if she doesn't trust her daughter.
Okay, I trust her fully.
So this won't be fun, like, at all?
Fun.
Fun.
If you're there?
I don't know, it's like, mom's here.
You know what that was like as a kid?
Okay.
Okay, Stephanie, thank you.
Amy did not want to hear that.
Her face right now.
She's just begging for someone to agree with her.
Yeah, just someone, one person.
Okay.
Let's see.
Nicole and Miss.
Mississippi. Nicole, are you agreeing with Amy? What do you want to say?
So I have a teenager and a preteen, and I know that it's coming from a place of love,
but I also feel like it's coming from a place of control. Amy wants to kind of be able to
control the situation and know exactly what's going on. But how is it going to seem when
there's not other friends' parents there and you're the only parent there? It's all teachers,
just Amy. I'm like pretty sure there's
other parent volunteers.
And also, it is not coming from a place of control.
I promise.
It's coming from a place of fun.
You'd think it's fun to have your mom somewhere?
I mean, I'm fun.
And any parent, I was going to say, any parent that goes,
I'm fun mom is not fun mom.
I mean, I'm the cool mom.
Again, anyone that thinks that is not.
I am.
Ask her friends.
But it's like cool in general.
Anyone that thinks they're cool, they're not cool.
I wouldn't say I'm cool in life.
You just did.
You just said I'm cool mom.
I'm not cool in general in life, but I feel like as a mom, I'm cool.
It's cool. I'd like to come chaperone.
That doesn't sound very cool.
Opposite of cool.
Nicole, thank you very much.
Bye.
All right.
Bye.
Let's do one more here.
How about?
How about one that agrees with me?
Well, here's one that just came in.
This is Whitney.
Okay.
This is the only one that agrees with you of every phone call.
We've had every line's been forward.
All right.
video. Hey, Whitney, go ahead.
I agree.
I actually had my mom and my dad go to both my junior and senior mom.
And I had an absolute blast with them.
I think the difference is you had your mom and dad go.
Amy's daughter didn't have her mom go.
Well, let's ask her.
We didn't.
She just said it ended up being fun.
But did they volunteer or you asked for them to go?
No.
So, like, actually my mom actually helped her best friend take pictures.
But she asked us if we could or not
But then we were like, well, we don't care
Like my mom was always like
The cool mom and she always got to go
Did your mom declare constantly
She was the cool mom?
No, like she just
She just was younger
So like I'm only 22
So like I'm still young
And she always was like
Okay, well we can go if we want
And they always just let them go
If they wanted to
Well we appreciate the call
Okay so I'll stop saying I'm cool mom
Yeah the key to being cool
Is just playing it cool
Okay, I'll play a cool.
Okay, I'll play a cool.
Okay, got it.
Ask your daughter today.
Because she's probably going to say yes just to make you feel good.
No, she does not do anything to make people feel good.
Like, I mean, she speaks her mind either way.
Like, she'll make you feel good if that's what she wants, but she's not going to hold back.
We know it's coming from a place of love.
All that we are saying as a group.
And does anyone disagree with this?
This is the group speaking to Amy, right?
Well, here's the thing.
Here's helicopter parents.
Oh, here it goes.
I've been sitting back listening.
everything. You're even more helicopter than Amy is.
But I like the fact that Amy's going to be
there to just witness the awkwardness.
It's going to be fun because this is her first
dance. It's going to be awkward. I don't want anyone witnessing the awkwardness, especially a parent.
It's going to make it more awkward with Amy being there.
Sure. And we're not talking about Amy's kid here. We're talking about Amy and what she's going to get
out of it. It's going to be fun for Amy. Definitely not fun
for her daughter. But this is about her daughter.
When we get good bits for the show, yes.
This is not about bits for the show.
Okay, well, we'll ask her.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you all for the calls. We appreciate
that. Just for calling the show, we appreciate that. There's a woman named Danielle Shapiro. She's
24 years old. She went to an all-you-can-e buffet, which costs $50, which is very expensive
for a buffet. The reason to go to a buffet is it doesn't cost a whole lot, and you can eat a whole
lot. So she forced herself to eat as much sushi as she possibly could. She ate 32 rolls of sushi,
four, and I'm not sure to say this, yowsas, gyalzes, a bowl of edamame, two jalapeno poppers,
an Ebola miso soup.
Now, she's not a professional eater, Amy, or a competitive eater.
She woke up at 6 a.m. the next day with intense stomach pains.
She had to go to the hospital.
So because she wanted to get her money's worth, she's now in the hospital.
At least she went to the hospital.
You ever ate so much, thought you were going to pop?
Yes.
Yeah.
I did that a couple days ago.
Where I was like, oh, no, I don't think I can even lay down.
What was it?
I don't remember.
I think I'll block out the traumatic stuff.
But it was so good.
But I remember eating so much that when I've lived.
lay down it hurts and I thought if I can't even lay down without a hurting this is bad news
you ate so much uh the traumatic experience hasn't put her off sushi forever she's going back next
week she's no she learned that next time she just just take things slower okay that's from the
daily mail um we have so many calls let me take a couple more calls amy for your situation here
because every line is ringing uh let's go over to k in florida okay good morning
good morning bobby good morning to you morning
I've waited so long to hear that.
Thank you.
Amy, I think you should do it.
Absolutely chaperone.
I'm a mom of three kids that are grown and I have grandchildren and I chaperoned a lot
of things for them and they asked me to do their homecoming because I enjoyed being with
my kids and my kids enjoyed being with me and we had a great relationship and absolutely
go.
Have fun.
Would you say your kids wanted you to be there?
That was the question.
Did your kids want you to be there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just making sure we get everything lined up here.
Okay, well, let us know, okay?
That is a key difference that I'm picking up on.
Her kids asked her.
All these people are like, my kids said it was fine.
They asked.
Why don't you say to your daughter, hey, the school may need chaperones for the dance.
Do you want me to come do that or not?
Give her options.
Well, since this is her first dance and she's new to English, I wonder if she even knows.
Well, not new, but she's known it for four years.
But some words, I feel like the first question might be,
what's a chaperone?
Well, someone's going to stand there and watch you.
But that is an aggressive way to put it.
But isn't that what you would be doing?
I can define it as this is an opportunity to define chaperone in an appealing way.
Okay, how would you define it?
Go ahead.
Well, it is someone that is just there in case you need snacks.
Okay, that's not what a chaperone is, though, at all.
I know, but my daughter loves snacks.
That person's called a concession stand.
Okay.
Hey, by the way, you're a $10 bet.
I'm keep.
I know.
I saw that.
The Cowboys lost.
You bet on them.
Eddie, I'm very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Amy bet $10 on the Cowboys.
I was her bookie.
And Eddie is a massive Cowboys fan.
It was tough.
And thank you for your text, too.
You waited a few hours before you texted.
Man, if there's anything you really understand, it's like when your team loses.
So thank you for your text.
Wait, why you take a shot at me?
I'm just saying anything I understand.
That's what hurt.
That's a dirty shot.
Hurt people, hurt people.
Yeah.
Why would you take me down?
No, I'm just saying you understood what.
what I was going through and I appreciate that.
Well, it's true.
It was tough.
It was true.
But I waited like three hours and I sent Eddie a text.
Like, hey, man, sorry for your loss.
But I was serious.
Yes, you were very serious.
Even though I want a lot of money.
I'm losing.
I didn't rub it in.
You didn't say that though.
I know, I didn't.
I didn't.
It's time for the good news.
It's Bobby.
Tell me something good.
Betty White was a consistent donor to the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue in San
Angelo, Texas since 2006.
Really? Well, she was huge into animals anyway.
Like, that was really her passion.
And she even did, like, commercials for animal vitamins.
Like, it was very much in her brand.
After her death, the rescue decided to name a newborn donkey, born on Christmas Day after Betty.
And so they will be naming new animals after her, new donkeys after her for the next few years.
They're also naming their newly constructed nursery after Betty White as well.
So the rescue sits on 172 acres.
Which, by the way, who knew there was a donkey rescue?
I had no clue.
I didn't even know there was a bird rescue, Amy, until you went looking for a bird.
Yeah.
Like big parrot rescues.
Yeah, exotic sanctuary.
They rely on donations.
There is a donkey named Betty, which they know now there's going to be a demand to save Betty and to get Betty rescued.
But, again, the Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue.
Wow.
And don't forget, the Betty White Challenge went viral on social media to get people to encourage
$5 donations to a local animal shelter.
And since her birthday was yesterday, maybe people.
People took part of that and donated.
Maybe they're hearing it now,
and they can donate five bucks to an animal rescue.
All right, that's what it's all about right there.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Katie in Florida is on the phone right now.
Katie, we appreciate your calling.
What's going on?
Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe my mom.
That's so great.
I had two questions.
One, Eddie, I wanted to ask about your son.
Did he get a Christmas?
I missed that segment of your follow-up on the below-y camera.
Yes, yes. He did get a Christmas. His grades came in. They were really good. He tried really hard. We saw a lot of effort. And we loved it. So the baloney thing worked and we just went with it. So is he want baloney sandwiches now? No, he hasn't had one since.
I bet he's traumatized one. Never want baloney the rest of his life. Well, hopefully. And then it'll remind him to like, oh, crap. I need to work hard again. Sorry. I forgot.
After being forced-fed bologna sandwiches. Okay. What's your other question, Katie?
My husband and he's like, he was like, that's my kind of parenting.
I also was telling my husband about Bobby meeting or having a friend named Sue.
And I was going through the whole story.
And I was like, he had a friend named Sue.
And his dad was like planning to leave him.
And then he met him later and they got in a fight.
And he's like, is this a joke?
And I'm like, what do you mean?
He's like, that's a Johnny Cash song.
I'm like, no, no, no, this is real.
And so he played me the song.
And I was dying.
I was like, I don't think the studio knew.
and he's like, it's a country station.
I'm sure that they knew.
I'm like, no, they genuinely were like asking follow-up questions.
It was super crazy.
I would say most of the studio knew, and they were just playing into it.
Because sometimes I have friends, Ross and Rachel, sometimes have friends, Michael and Dwight.
Lunchbox did not know, but I think the rest of the show knew, and we're just playing into the joke a little bit.
Okay, so some of it, because I was like, no, he does do that, but usually they, like, say, oh, that's funny.
And I was like, usually Amy's the one who's like, what?
Well, this time, Amy was in on the joke.
Yeah, no, I was enjoying lunchbox believing it.
So I went along.
I totally believed it.
My husband thinks I'm an idiot.
Katie, thank you for calling.
Hope you have an awesome day.
All right, thanks, everybody.
All right, bye-bye.
Bobby's Big.
Stories.
You ever seen Back to the Future?
Yes.
Biff gets the book, the sports gambling book, the Almanac.
And so he's able to bet on all the games.
and make tons of money because he took it from the future?
Yeah.
Right?
Okay.
I'm not convinced this guy doesn't have that.
A Pennsylvania man won $1 million from a scratch-off lottery ticket,
making his fourth big lottery win since 1999.
He's 55 years old of Altoona,
$1 million from a $20 scratch-off on January 6th.
Previously, he's won a $500,000 lottery prize,
a $3 million lottery prize, and a $100,000 lottery prize.
Wow.
So you're telling me
He's hit all four of those randomly
He's had two of at least a million dollars
He says that
His, oh boy, this is not going to be good for lunchbox to hear
His good luck comes from spending a large amount of money
Every single week
Yeah
You guys tell me it's dumb
Have you ever won?
No, not yet
But he's 55
That's from Center Daily Times
That's true, but you're 40
Yeah, so I got 15 years to catch him
I don't think it works like that.
He started winning 12 years ago.
His first $3 million prize.
Next up in the news,
scientists have found that older couples
tend to have geekier kids who have high IQs.
So if you have kids later,
you're more likely to have a nerd or someone who is smarter.
Older parents are able to devote more time to their kids
and their educational needs.
So it's not just about your body being older.
It's about where you are in your life
and the time you have for them.
Older parents are also able to spend more money.
money on their kids, getting advanced training and practice on things, making them even more
advanced, whereas younger parents are busier with more work hours and other interests.
So for me, I'm be retired, and that's going to be the smartest kid ever.
The nerds kid ever.
I'm like 65, and kids are going to rock it.
Finally, a new study finds that deep sleep, typically in these seven to eight hour range,
helps improve your memory, reactivation in the brain, also allows people to better connect
names with faces.
If I don't get good sleep,
which I've been a little better lately,
I'm completely fried in my brain.
I'm not connecting.
I don't have the wit
that I'm supposed to have to do this show.
Sometimes I fire and miss more.
The study examined
how well a group of adults remembered a group of names
following a nap.
Each volunteer took a specific memory test
before retaking the exam
after reaching deep sleep.
There is sometimes where I
fall asleep. I'll just be sitting at home and I'll be working after the show. I'll fall asleep for 15 minutes.
And I'll wake up and it's one of those where you're like, was I even asleep?
And you look at your phone. You're like, yeah, I guess I was asleep for a few minutes. And I'm fine. But if I fall asleep for an hour.
And I wake up, nothing works. Like my brain is like 33% off because I slept a little too hard for like a midday nap to be fun. But if you ask me, I would want to take that hour nap.
Like I said, okay, you can just do anything you want. What are you going to do? I'm going to take an hour and a half nap. But you know, you're not going to be. You're not going to
going to feel as good after. I don't care. Give me that 90 minute nap. Whereas the 10 minute nap kind of
sucks, but I think it's just better for me anyway. I think that's what they say. It should be like,
if you do an afternoon nap, it should be like 20 minutes. But I'm never just going to set 20 minutes
and take a nap. I might accidentally fall asleep for a few minutes, but if I'm going to take a nap,
like anything else, I'm cannonballing in. I want an hour, an hour and a half of a nap there.
And then there's like the some people do the nap espresso. I've never met anyone that actually
What is that? We've only talked about that on the show. It's a crazy thing.
Okay.
Have you ever met anyone that's done an espresso?
No. But it's where you take a shot of espresso or you drink a coffee drink or something and then
you lay down for 20 minutes and by the time you wake up, it's hit your bloodstream.
You're good to go. You wake up. Your energized, refreshed.
My problem is I can't fall asleep in 20 minutes. I have to really work myself. The air's got to be
down below 70. It's got to be cold on the outside but warm with a blanket over the top of me.
Yeah.
And so I've started to sleep better without the TV on, which I've done for my whole life.
I now put a podcast on a night.
I'll put on Bill Simmons and just listen to that and fall asleep.
And I can fall asleep in like the first 10 minutes.
Pretty crazy how I will.
The annoying thing for Caitlin is she also has to hear it.
Yeah.
Right.
She really doesn't want to hear.
What is this crap?
But I've been sleeping better because of that.
This morning, I woke up.
I made some toast.
I put some almond butter on the toast.
Was it in your toaster?
Yeah, my fan's toaster.
Which, by the way, is a whole controversy of itself.
But I put some honey on the almond butter.
I ate the toast, both pieces.
I go before I get in the car and have honey somehow on my feet.
I have honey on my pants.
I have no idea how that honey went from that toast to covering my body.
And so if I'm really lazy, if it's like my feet or so, I'll just put them near Stanley, my dog.
Be like, hey, clean me up before I get out of here.
He licks it out.
He'll lick it all off and clean me up before I get out of here.
All right, that's the news.

A woman in Canada is facing charges after she drove her car onto a frozen river, sped down the
the ice,
the car fell through it, and there's a picture
of her as she climbed atop of the car,
taking a selfie of herself
going down on the car as she
was standing on the roof. People were
scrambling to save her, but she was getting
the selfie in. She's like, I'm good. Hilarious picture.
And
you must be very comfortable with ice to be able to
do that, because I'd have been like, oh my heart! I'm
going to die! No, she's chilling. She's on a yellow
car standing on, like, the back glass.
She's got a backpack beside
her, and she's got her arm up, taking a picture.
It will be a good selfie.
You can sell that as an NFT.
Make a little money off that.
She made the news.
But yeah, on Sunday a young woman near Ottawa decided it'd be a good idea to drive her car down a frozen river.
And she was speeding down it.
Someone who lives next to the river got footage of her flying by in her yellow car.
Her car eventually hit a thin spot and then broke through.
So it was sinking in freezing water.
Random people had to save her using a kayak.
One guy who helped said you could see her start to gather her stuff in the bag.
Meanwhile, everybody's like, get out of the car.
She's like, I gotta get my stuff.
She climbs on the roof and then did a bunch of selfies.
She's facing charges for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and could lose her license.
It's not clear if they plan to tack on other charges too.
That's from CTV.
But she's all right.
I mean, yeah, but other people were trying to save her and they could risk their lives.
They did risk their lives and they could have died.
Yes, but they didn't.
So that's why we all-o-l about the story.
Yeah.
All right, let's do our segment call.
What's the Haps?
Hey!
Hey, what's the Haps?
Amy, what happened to you this weekend?
Well, I had COVID exposure, so very directly positive person near me.
And I isolated, though, for, you know, the five days and have negative tests.
I tested myself like three times.
And so I'm negative, but just was my first, like, real close call that I am aware of.
I feel like we get close calls probably all the time, but we don't know them.
But if you're a vaccine, you don't have to isolate.
Oh, I don't?
Okay.
Well, I isolated anyway.
Good for you.
Just in case.
Good for you.
Well, that's all you're saying?
Yeah, I just wanted, I felt like you needed to know.
Oh, I already knew.
I knew immediately.
Yeah, I know, but I was freaking out about coming into work.
I didn't know.
I was trying to check with HR and did all the things and never fully got a thumbs up,
except for Scoop.
Steve said if I tested negative this morning, I could come in.
If you're vaccinated, you don't have to have any sort of anything.
Oh.
You're vaccinated, no isolation.
You just live your life.
Okay.
That's the general rule.
there. All right.
All right. Thank you. Hey, what's the hat?
I spent Saturday in Orlando. I was doing some comedy for a group down there.
So that went pretty well. If you want to come and watch Eddie and I were playing the
Opry next weekend. You know that, right? Yes.
I like how you always check with me.
Because I never know. I just look at it. I just see on my calendar.
Like not this coming weekend, but next?
Yes. Not this weekend. But next weekend, Eddie and I are playing the Grand Ole Opry.
But I really wanted to share a new TV show that I'm watching. We're watching a show called
Yellow Jackets.
Have you seen or heard about it yet?
Well, yes, but only because Caitlin mentioned it to me.
But I could have swore she said,
Bobby doesn't want to watch it because he's scared.
She told me that.
I don't like scary movies.
So it's a scary movie?
No, kind of.
It's not.
So there's a soccer team.
They're a high school soccer team.
The year's like 1997 or 1998.
And it's flashing forward between back then and today.
But what happens is they have a plane crash.
It's based on sort of Miracle in the Andes about how they crashed.
and for 72 days.
Yeah.
They had to live.
But this is for like 16 months.
They had to survive.
And apparently, we've only got two episodes in.
Apparently they have to become like a cannibalistic society in order to survive.
You love that.
And so it's like end of the world kind of situation.
There's a plane crash.
And then it's them having to survive.
And it does get kind of horny.
But we like it.
We're two episodes in.
It's on Showtime.
It's not on a streaming service.
Unless Pluto, Pluto TV.
Yeah.
Who has Pluto TV?
I've heard of it.
Pluto.
TV? It came with my
TV that I bought like three years ago. But you still can't get it.
We have, we looked at Pluto TV and it's all like
Westerns and stuff. Yeah. So
we have Pluto, but we had to, we
have to have showtime to get it. And it's
not on HBO Max, so that stinks.
But we have to go to, we have to talk in to our remote.
Beep, yellow jackets.
And so we put, it's, it's pretty good. It's got a
100% on Rotten Tomatoes
for the critics and a 78%
audience. Oh, wow. So we're into it.
Both are into it. Two episodes in, we're into it.
That's what's the haps with me.
Eddie, hey, what's the hat?
My little baby turns three today.
I mean, it's crazy.
So we fostered him for two years.
We got him straight from the hospital when we were foster parents.
And then we just adopted him last year, and we've had him for three years.
And it's pretty crazy.
He is a beast of a boy.
He's like a little baby man.
That's what we call him.
He beats up on his brothers every day.
He breaks things constantly.
He is a complete mess, but I love him so much.
He reminds me a bam-bang from back on the Flintstones.
Oh, yes. Yeah, totally.
I mean, that's always been what I've associated him with is,
bam, bam, bam, the kid that just comes in a wreck stuff
and is way stronger than everyone.
That's him.
So, yeah, he's like, bam, bam on the Flintstones.
But I remember we were here in the studio one day,
and Eddie had called the night before, and he wasn't in this morning.
Did he call?
He goes, hey, man, I'm going to have to miss the show today.
I was like, why?
He said, we went and picked up a kid at the hospital.
I'm like, you're a kid?
He goes, no, no.
We're going to foster a baby.
And I was like, wow.
I said, okay, kind of out of nowhere.
He goes, I didn't really want to do it, but my wife did.
And I was like, all right, well, whatever you need, stay gone as long as you need.
So he just missed one day.
He comes in, he's like, wow, smash cut three weeks later, two months later.
Yeah, it's a couple weeks later.
They're like, hey, we have his brother, too.
And he needs a place to go.
And Eddie's like, oh, I guess we'll take another kid.
And he's like, oh, man, I didn't really want to do this.
Now he could not have been happier that he did it.
Isn't it funny?
I really was.
Because, I mean, my wife's always wanted to foster or adopt or whatever.
And I've always just been like, we're good.
Like, we're good.
You already had two kids.
We got two kids.
We're finally at a place where, like, we feel comfortable.
But you know what?
Comfortable, I guess isn't good.
So we did it.
And you're right.
I couldn't be any happier.
Like, I love that they're part of our lives.
I love that they're part of our family.
And the fact that he's three right now is I just been thinking about it all morning.
Like, I cannot believe he's three.
I can't believe that's been three years.
I know.
Yeah.
All right.
What's the Haps?
Hey.
Hey, what's the hat?
Lunch bikes.
So I was going to Las Vegas this weekend, and there was a huge security breach at the airport.
I'm sitting on the airplane.
I'm sitting in seat 8F, and this girl comes down the aisle, and she goes, excuse me, 8F is my seat.
And I said, well, let me see your ticket.
And I look at her ticket and says, Fort Lauderdale.
She's on the wrong plane.
And I'm like, this plane's going to Vegas, girl.
And she goes, oh, and so she walks off the plane.
She gave you her ticket?
Yeah, because it was on her phone. I was just like, well, let me see, because here's my ticket.
And I looked, and it did say 8F, but it was the wrong plane.
A couple minutes later, happens a couple rows behind me.
Dude gets off the plane because he was going to Fort Lauderdale.
So then they come on the plane and they say, excuse me, if you're going to Fort Lauderdale, this is the wrong plane.
Eight more people, get up and walk off the plane.
How do they get on the airplane if they're going to-
I don't understand.
Do they not explain it?
No, they were just like, if you're going to Fort Lauderdale, this is not your plane.
This plane is going to Las Vegas.
Oh.
And I would assume.
that that was the original place
for the Fort Lauderdale people.
And because of a delay or something, they had to move it.
But you have to skin your ticket.
I get it.
But I'm saying, I think that's probably,
they were going to that gate,
obviously, because they were told to go to that gate.
It wasn't one rogue person who did it.
Since there were more than one,
there must have been a group.
At some point, we're told,
hey, go to gate 22B.
Yeah, and maybe the computer was still processing
all those tickets, too,
because I feel like I've done that before
and I get rejected before I even get on.
So like,
Lucky they caught it.
I've been rejected before
where they had moved to gates
and I went up and it's like,
you know, I'm trying to go to Austin.
It's like, no, we're going to Sacramento, sir.
And I'm like, oh, you guys have moved the gate.
I imagine it's that scenario where they just,
the computer just didn't react.
Yeah.
Well, that is a situation.
And I would have felt funny about that.
Somebody is going to, where were they going?
Fort Lauderdale?
They fall asleep in their chairs.
Oh, my goodness.
And they wake up in Vegas.
They think it's a joke.
Oh, no.
No. All right, that's what's the haps. Hey, what's the hats?
Cindy, in Daytona Beach, Florida. You are on the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on, Cindy?
Good morning, Bobby. Morning studio. Morning.
Okay, so I live just outside of Daytona Beach, Florida. And we had a friend come to visit several years ago who did not realize he was on the wrong plane until he landed in Dayton, Ohio.
How did they get on the wrong plane?
That's what I don't understand.
I mean, what does he say?
He just went to the gate, he beeped, and they let him in?
I don't know.
This is going back probably about 25 years ago, so maybe technology.
I don't know.
For all I know, he probably had a ticket for Dayton, Ohio, and didn't realize he was holding a ticket.
Yeah, it stinks to land in the wrong place, but 25 years ago, you just give them a hearty thumbs up and you get on the plane.
You know, it was a different environment back then, I think.
But yes, to wake up in a different state than you were going.
And then to explain to them, I got on the wrong plane.
I need another ticket back.
Yeah, that would stink too.
Hey, thank you for the call, Cindy.
Hope you have a good day.
I think she said, have a good day.
Okay, cool.
Hey, thank you for the call.
Here's the story.
The question is, what do you do when your partner is gone?
A recent survey asked 2,000 married homeowners,
how they make the most of their alone time.
Some people said they binge watch.
Some people said they get on social media and stay on social media.
What do you do?
Let's talk to Jennifer in Wichita, who's on the phone.
Jennifer, your husband leaves.
What do you do?
Hey, Bobby.
Hey, studio.
Hey.
So when my husband, we own her in business.
And so last year he traveled a lot.
And I'm a stay-at-home mom, but our kids are both in school.
And so I am awful to say that I actually binge-watch within
three days for Netflix
specials.
And I'll spend 45 minutes
when he calls. He's like, I'm on my way home.
I'll be there in 45 minutes. And I will be dripping
sweat when he gets home because I have
panicked and started cleaning and getting
everything done that needed to be done that I told him I did
two days ago. That's pretty funny.
Yeah, that's pretty funny. All right, that's a good one.
Thank you, Jennifer. Have a great day.
You too.
All right. The best part of that is visualizing
her
in an extremely rapid, just cleaning
the house because she said,
Yeah.
Not that she has to clean the house, but if she said she'd clean the house,
probably, yeah.
For me, I just get on the PlayStation.
I just play video games.
And I don't come off.
I put the headset on.
I get everything charged.
If I know there's going to be a day or two, I charge everything.
Controller's headset.
I lined up with my friends.
All right, guys, I'm going to have this day free.
It's madden all day and all night.
And so I play a lot of PlayStation.
I mean, but there's no reason I can't play it now.
I just feel guilty to go and play PlayStation for 8, 10 hours a day.
but I play a lot of video games if I get one of these.
You're besting out all the self-care things like baths and face masks
and binging whatever I want to watch and making whatever I want to make to eat
and just living my best life.
You don't get to make what you want to eat generally?
No, I'm just saying.
Oh.
No, that's not what I mean.
I guess I mean like when I want.
I don't have to make sure there's like exact meals because like you said there's no kids there, right?
Yeah.
So yeah, there's no responsibility.
In your fantasy there are no kids.
No, no.
Yeah.
It's like, oh, it's not meal time.
It's like, oh, it's, you know, 3 p.m.
I'll have cookies or whatever.
Keelan and Tampa.
You're on the show.
Keelan, what's going on?
Hi, good morning, everyone.
How are you?
Doing pretty good.
Awesome.
I was calling in.
When I have my free time, I like to just make me pamper myself, I will go get my manicure and
put it down.
If I have enough time, I'll go get my hair done.
I have eight, nine-year-old boys.
so a lot of sports and dirt and outdoors.
When I spent my time, I like to go treat myself.
I think I got the end of that.
Treat yourself.
Cell phone quality sucks these days.
We had three calls, and they've all kind of sounded terrible,
to no fault of their own.
What do we do about that?
Call the company, I don't know.
We get on the phone with the...
All right, thank you for your call.
I'm sorry that cut out a little bit.
I saw a story where a carjacker stole a vehicle,
and they stole it
and there was a passenger
sleeping in the back
at least it wasn't a baby
sometimes a parent
will leave a car
and there's a baby in it
and this was a real-life
adult human
but an Ohio man stole a car
while a passenger
was asleep in the back seat
the passenger
texted the cops
while there was a high-speed chase
and was letting the cops know
hey we're here we're here
but that person in the back
he was 19 years old
was sleeping in the back seat of a Hyundai
whenever
Justin Vaughn
hopped in the driver's seat
and sped off
they had bought the car
I don't know why he went to sleep in the back though
is just tired
all right I bought this car
I'm going to go ahead and take a nap
I'll drive off the lot later
but they were texting real real life
real location updates as the pursuit went on
they crashed the car
they suffered minor injuries from the crash
the guy was arrested on kidnapping
aggravated robbery and motor vehicle theft
that's from the New York Post
I mean but the kidnapping part's an accident
doesn't matter
Yeah, that's a rough charge.
Because you can stop the car and be like, hey, get out.
Or you can just not carjack.
Right, I know.
I just.
So, no, we're not feeling bad because he got a kidnap in charge against them.
Also, good reminder that you can text 911?
He was texting with a friend who was talking to cops.
Okay, but I mean, so can you text 911?
Let's try it.
Get your phone, Amy.
I'm not testing it out.
I would imagine, Mike, will you Google that if you can text 911?
I would imagine you could.
Can you imagine if they didn't?
have that system in place.
You can only rotary dial 911, only that.
Yeah, you can.
Okay, cool.
How do you do that?
Just 911 in the number place.
While all wireless phones have the capability to dial 911 regardless if that phone is
active on a network or not, you can only send a text to 911 if you use a cell phone
that has an active texting plan.
So, yes, you can.
But yeah, you can find a phone that's not hooked up and still call 911, just the
emergency button.
Or you can do like Amy did once and just push all the buttons at once.
and had some sort of emergency call in 911.
Yes.
And they called you back.
I'm not doing that again.
They were like, hey, are you okay?
I'm so sorry.
That was a bit.
I'm so sorry.
I hung up on them because I was so scared.
Which is, again, not the best move to hang up on 911 for any reason whatsoever.
I got a lottery ticket for Christmas and it won $100 and I'm willing to give this $100 to a listener.
Hey, let's put on Missy in Colorado real quick.
Hey, Missy, how are you?
Good.
How are you?
Pretty good. I'm gonna give you a chance to win a hundred bucks, okay?
I'm gonna let you pick a number on the one through ten dice.
Whoa!
Yeah. Whoa! This ticket's gonna expire soon.
Usually I do the one through one-through-dice.
Which is hard to get.
Yeah, one through ten, if you pick the right number, I'll just send you the hundred bucks that I want from this ticket, okay?
Okay.
Pick a number one through ten. Go.
Six.
Six. The number is.
Come on.
Come on.
One.
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Missy, anything you want to say, though, before we go?
I'm only called in to talk about Amy chaperoning.
Can I do that real quick?
Yeah, go ahead.
I'm a teacher, and I just have a little bit of a different perspective or a question for Amy, actually.
Has Amy ever called to volunteer for anything prior to chaperoning?
Oh, that's a great question.
Have you called and just said, hey, I, and you may have.
not need the chaperone for this, but I want to come and do this.
We have signed up for snacks.
But that's when they've asked for people to do it, though, right?
But that's when they ask people to do it, right?
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
It's more of like the player's responsibility, but the parents do it.
But I mean, I didn't know about there.
There hasn't been anything.
My daughter's only been at this school during COVID.
This is the first dance.
Why is she asking that question?
Because am I involved in other things?
Am I a volunteer or am I just volunteering because I want a helicopter the dance?
But what's the answer, though?
Be honest.
The answer is, I haven't had any opportunity.
No, the answer is you're helicoptering because of the dance.
I'm not helicoptering.
Yes, let her be a teenager.
Okay.
Right, isn't that what you say, Missy, let her be a teenager?
Let her daughter be a teenager.
Yeah, that's kind of my perspective from a teacher's point of view is.
Yeah, probably a little bit of a helicopter going on if you're not regularly volunteering prior to this.
What's going on?
Oh, one time I went in read to the class.
Pre-COVID
I read
Three years ago
All right
Missy
Thank you
Have a great day
Thanks so much
All right
You guys want to chance
This hundred bucks
Yes
All right
Pick a number one to 100
Go everybody
It's well
22
42
21 you know that's my number
I don't know
21 22
And 47 right
Yeah
55
Sorry no winner
No winner now
All right
Thank you guys
Bobby Bones show
Boney up the day
This story comes to us from Alabama.
A 60-year-old man wanted some bleachers for his backyard.
So he drove down to the local park, saw some behind the tennis court, tried to fit him in his trunk.
No.
So he got a rope, tied it to his trunk, tied it to the bleachers, and let's drive on home.
That's hilarious.
He drugged them for a mile and a half before police arrived to pull him over.
Imagine if you see that.
I mean, you must think they're doing it on purpose, right?
Well, that's got to be allowed.
Yeah.
I would assume they had a permit for that.
And Sparks got to be flying.
Sparks are everywhere.
Especially if it's like on a street.
Wow.
So what happened?
He was arrested for stealing the bleachers.
Okay.
I'm lunchbox.
That's your bonehead story of the day.
We talk about movies a lot on the show.
I love a movie that is under two hours.
If I'm scrolling through and we're talking about,
all right, let's watch something.
And then it's 129 minutes.
I'm like, oh, I don't care how good it is.
It just seems too long.
Yeah.
And this, you know, TikTok culture, Instagram culture, we want everything in short bursts.
We've kind of been spoiled that way.
So Mike D did a podcast.
This is all movies 90 minutes and below.
Yeah, anything under 90 minutes.
That sounds pretty good.
It's like your wheelhouse.
I mean, it sounds pretty.
Give me a great movie below 90 minutes.
A quiet place is right at 90 minutes.
That's all it was, huh?
Yeah, 90 minutes.
That's really good.
Yeah.
You saw it.
Jim Halpert from.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they don't talk.
It's very quiet.
Yeah.
Because if they make a noise, the monsters get them.
Oh.
Yeah.
I didn't see The Quiet Place, too.
That's out too, right?
Yeah.
It's pretty good.
An hour and 34 minutes.
They're both short, huh?
Yeah.
No dialogue.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Is that a horror movie?
Yes.
Okay.
Horror's weird, though, now.
Elevated horror.
Why, excuse me?
Elevated horror.
That's the category.
Why is it elevated?
Because it's a little more, it's not your typical, like, slasher, scary jumpstairs.
It's a little more elevated.
Classy.
You guys are talking at the same time. Hold on. What are you saying, Mike?
Yeah, like classy.
Okay, it's a classy-year movie. Okay, what else you got?
If you want a comedy, Billy Madison is an hour in 29 minutes.
Okay, great Adam Sandler movie. And give me one more.
And stand by me a classic, also an hour and 29 minutes.
You did a whole podcast on this, huh?
Yep, did a whole bunch of minutes. Is it less than 90 minutes, your podcast?
No, yeah.
Mike's podcast is two hour long.
It is.
All right, check out Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Thank you guys. We'll see you on Wednesday's show. Have a great day.
Bye, everybody.
