Starting point is 00:03:06 You know he's been taking acting lessons, lunchbox. Whoa, really? John Party. Don't have that in common. And I'm curious if he's going in person, if he's trying to turn it into something or if he's like lunchbox doing it on Zoom. Paying a lot of money for it.
Starting point is 00:03:21 So John Party tomorrow on the show, and Monday, Kelsey Ballerini will be in. Fun. So it'll be a couple good days of guests. All right, it's Thursday, so we do the morning corny, but we try to figure it out. We have 90 seconds to figure out Amy's morning corny, and what we call the investigative corny.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Morning Corny Why did the vegetable boat sink? Why did the vegetable boat sink? Okay. Caravits. Turnup. Peppers. Banana boat.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Turnup. Turn up. Why did the vegetable boat sink? cauliflower. It let us. Let us astray. Okay, let's think about sinking things. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:05 The bottom of the sea. Bottom of the lake. Pale. The. vegetable salad Why did the vegetable boat sink Cucumber Why do boats
Starting point is 00:04:18 Why do boats sink? I think there's something We got to turn into the vegetables Why do boats sink? They tip over Tip over Crash Overflow They sink
Starting point is 00:04:32 Water chestnuts Weight Water chestnuts I've heard of many boats sinking Crash. Why do vegetable boats sink? Why do boats? Okay, let me think about boats.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I can't. Why do boats? Our flat bottom would would tip over? If they're like the plug, we let the plug out. Okay. So if there was like a hole in the boat.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Hey, what about squash? It got squashed. 15 seconds. Oh my gosh. It's got to be something with how the boat goes down. But yeah, because why did the vegetable boat sink?
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yeah. I mean, it's got. It's gotta be that big. Yeah. Tomatoes. Too heavy. Splat. We don't have it.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I thought you would have this. Eggplant. I'm out of time. Bobby, you're so close. But everything I said, they looked at me like I was stupid. What was he close with? What was he close with? Pulling the plug out of the boat?
Starting point is 00:05:28 I said the boat would... How does the boat seek? Our flat bottom would go down if you didn't plug it in the back. That's also how you got rid of the water. Right, but how do you tie that to the vegetable? Okay, here we go. The morning. The morning corny.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Why did the vegetable boat sink? Why? It was full of leaks. What are leaks? What is a leak? L-E-K-S? Never heard of that vegetable. That's your problem.
Starting point is 00:05:51 That's your problem. Yeah, I don't know what that is. Is it though? They have that at the grocery store? I wouldn't know a leak if it hit me in the face. Yeah, exactly. I think, now that you say that, I'm like, I assume that's a vegetable. But I don't think I would know, I don't even know what one looks like.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Amy, that was too smart for us. Oh, okay. What family's a leak in? A leak. A leak. A leak. A leak. the grocery store and it looks like a big green onion kind of oh you know what I think those are
Starting point is 00:06:13 big green onions like a fat like fatter than all right that's the morning corny thank you uh we lost yeah sure did over a month ago lunchbox was outside in his yard one of his neighbors walked by and they start talking about the neighborhood during the conversation lunchbox's neighbor made the comment about lunchbox's house that his lights were still up and so he asked was this rude or just making small talk. Here is the clip before we get the update. Excuse me, what did you say? I couldn't hear you. Hey, I'm just saying you have the last house in the neighborhood with Christmas lights on. I walk all over and everyone else has put theirs away. Yours is the last one. What's the deal? Well, I mean, I get it. I mean, but I have kids. It's been snowing. Like, I have a job.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I mean. You haven't gotten around to it yet? Yeah, I'm just, I'm, yeah. It's festive, but you know, there's an energy shortage. You know, you're just burning those Killbox. I'm thinking to you, man. I'm thinking of you. Sure. I don't. And next thing you know, you're going to tell me the Earth is round, but I mean, any day you want to come by and take them down, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Now, I'm not taking my tip. Okay, well then, all right, thank you. Have a good night. Have a good night. Have a good night. He said, what's the deal? That to me is when I'd have been like, oh, we won't do this. He walks away. The Earth is round. Yeah, that I didn't.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah, I understand that. But it's now. a month and a week later, it's February 24th, are the lights still up? It's still Christmas time in the neighborhood, guys. It feels so good to be celebrating Christmas in the middle of February. I mean, it's almost the end of February, I guess, because it's a short month. But man, it is shining bright. Santa Claus is ready to land on our roof.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Have you seen the guy? I haven't seen him. I saw him that one time and he crossed the street and walked on the other side of the street. Didn't walk in front of the house. Haven't seen him since. Has anyone said anything else to you? No. at all, nothing.
Starting point is 00:08:09 No. And at night, they come on. They come on at 5 p.m. Every day. The timer is just set, and it just comes on. I don't even, I just said it whenever Christmas time was around. So I would, because I'd forget. And so the timer is the greatest thing ever.
Starting point is 00:08:23 So these are your spite lights. These are spite. You're doing this in spite. Oh, yeah, yeah. You're doing it to spite him. Yeah, absolutely. I'm doing it to send him a message. Like, I will not be intimidated by you.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And I'm going to leave them up and send you a message that this house will not be told when to take their lights down. So, we are, if it's 24, 28th, the last day of the month. What's the goal here? I mean, we want to get to March. March 1st, is it like we're taking them down? I mean, March 1st is probably my like, okay, I won this battle. Like, I sent a message. But, you know, maybe March 1st comes and it's bad weather and then we end up on March 2nd. Maybe April 1st. Oh. Because Eddie can have Santa out until March. But then, at this point, just leave them up until next Christmas. I mean, we are burning, what do you say? Kill a while.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Well, there's an energy shortage. He's looking out for you, buddy. Yeah. Do you think the neighbor sees it and kind of like, gr gets frustrated every time? Or does he care? Or do you think he avoids my house now? He avoids you.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Well, he oddly was kind of passive aggressive. Yes. Well, he almost went to aggressive. Well, lunchbox was. The next thing you're going to tell me the earth is round. Yes, but that's his reaction. I don't think I would react to this as oddly, as nicely as lunchbox did. I was like, you have a problem with lights?
Starting point is 00:09:33 I would have immediately been triggered and went at him. Now with my fists, because I'd probably get beat up. It sounds like 90. I still have been beaten up. No, with your biggest weapon. Yes, my tongue. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Okay. March 1st, we're leaving the lights up. You don't have an HOA so they can't find you. Right. No fines are available because there is no HOA. But, I mean, if you had an HOA, they'd be fining me every day. Well, let me just say I admire it. Your spotlight, pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Thank you. Thank you. Ho, ho, ho. Do you not like it? I just think it's time. Message sent. like taking lights down. I think it's quite sent enough.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Amy, you're supposed to back down from a bully? You didn't. You showed him. You kept them up. Yeah, you. So that's why I'm like, okay, either take them down now or just keep them up until next year. Why not?
Starting point is 00:10:18 I like March 1st. And April 1st? A little better. Yeah, a little better. A one actively seeks relationships with men who have committed murder. No. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Ugh. So, like, she dates him while they're in jail? In Nancy Grace's new special, marrying a murderer, several women are profiled for choosing to be with men who have committed murder. Teresa X. Roberts opens up about marrying not just one murderer but two. Like what happened in their childhood where they find this attractive? Because something's there.
Starting point is 00:10:49 There's some little itch that needs scratched. And to them it gets scratched by finding someone who's killed people. Roberts vocalizes three core reasons that led her to marrying a murderer. Number one, I wanted somebody so far away, I wouldn't be. tempted to visit. Well, you can do that without murdering somebody. Yeah. I don't care where you are. There's somebody far away. Okay. Number two, I wanted somebody serving
Starting point is 00:11:13 a long time so he wouldn't get out and basically break my heart. Okay. How about somebody with some fraud charges? Yeah, yeah. They didn't murder somebody. And number three, I wanted somebody that was somewhat average looking, not super good looking, not hideous.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Wait, there are some murderers that are oddly really good-looking. A couple, but most of them aren't. All they do is highlight the really good-looking one, so you think that all of them are. It's shocking to me how good-looking some of these serial killers are. But the reason they're good-looking to you is because they're good-looking, they get coverage because it's so rare and odd. Okay. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah, I get what you're saying. I get it. I totally understand that. The better-looking you are, the more coverage you get. Mugshot guy who's a great-looking in a model. Right. And he goes famous because of that. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I remember that guy. It's not because everybody in a mung-shot's good-looking. It's because that guy. Unfortunately, with the news, too, that goes the other direction for, like, girls that are missing. Like, blonde white girls get way more news than any others, which is terrible. So my point is, is that most murders are ugly. They're U-G-L-Y. They don't need no alibi.
Starting point is 00:12:21 They ugly. So they like murderers. Those three things that they list it. I don't really believe. I believe they just want someone that's done something. It had a little notoriety for some reason. and that's their thing. I thought maybe you're going to say
Starting point is 00:12:38 that they want to be part of their rehabilitation. Like somehow they're attracted to like helping. That would be healthier, I think. I would understand that. Totally. I was hopeful. They have like a savior complex. But you didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:12:50 But you're not going to really save them. They don't even want to be near them. They just went like a pen pal. We were talking about lunchboxes Christmas lights a couple segments ago and his are still up and it all stems from his neighbor being like, hey, take your lights down, bro. And lunch said, no, bro. Now I'm going to leave him up extra long.
Starting point is 00:13:11 And so Jeff and St. Louis is on. Now, Jeff, you heard us talking about this. And your question is... My question is, you offered Eddie money to keep the Santa Claus up until March 1st. Why don't you offer lunchbox to keep him up longer? Two reasons. One, lunchbox has motivation.
Starting point is 00:13:29 This guy motivated him and inspired him to do it. I don't need to give him either. Yeah, there's spite lights, you call them. Spite lights. Yeah, so with Eddie, it was just funny, and I was like, dude, keep it up. And I didn't really want to keep him up. Yeah. Lunchbox, this is his idea.
Starting point is 00:13:42 And then two, I'm tired of using my own money on this show. Trivia games, bits, pranks. I got to use my money. And I'm tired of it. And I probably will still do it because we need to do some games and bits sometimes. But those are the two reasons, Jeff. I appreciate that call, though, because other people may have the same question. Correct.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Yeah. And I just love your guys this show, and I hope you all have a good day, and keep doing what you do. Hey, yeah, man, you too. See you later. Hey, keep doing what you're doing. I don't even know what it is, but I feel like it's good. Whatever it is. Yeah, whatever it is. He's still there.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I like it. I'll like it. News coming up in 20 minutes or so. You know the story I got to bring up again. Is there more? Yeah. Oh, okay. There's more to it?
Starting point is 00:14:28 Yeah. Every day. See, I tell you, I rely on you for the other days. I don't want to update it. And I'm going to tell you what it is right now, but I don't want to update you on it again. Hopefully this will be the final update? It closes it. I hope.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yes. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan No. 2. 30 Second Skinny. Trace Adkins is in a new movie coming out tomorrow called Desperate Riders. Fans can watch it in select theaters on demand and Apple TV. Thomas Rett shares what he'd tell his younger self. I would say that you are not in control and you might as well let the control go.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I think for so long early on in my career, I tried to make it happen alone. You know, I thought that if I could just write a better song or if I could play a better show, that I would be able to do it at a high level. And I feel like I did that for like five years and it was exhausting. Teneal Towns was named one of Forbes 30 under 30 and she talked about the honor. Being included in Forbes 30 under 30 list is so crazy. truly so cool. I mean, looking at that list of inspiring people who have made such an impact on the creative world, the music world, and to be among that is really just an honor.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. 17-year-old Lorelei Dodd is a delivery driver, a food delivery driver, and she's driving around delivering her food when she sees a dog in the middle of a busy road. She pulls over. She gets the dog. The dog runs in her car.
Starting point is 00:16:06 She says, okay, well, I'm going to take my dog on the delivery and see if anyone knows who this dog is. She goes around. No, no, never seen that dog before. Don't know who it is. So she keeps it for two days and decides to go to the shelter to see, hey, is this dog chipped or something? Sure enough, it's chipped. Turns out this dog was stolen two weeks ago and lives 100 miles away. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:24 So Lorelai gets in her car and says, all right, I will deliver this dog, takes it to the owner. Love it. Wow. Yeah. Does it say what kind of dog it was? No. If someone's stealing a dog, it's got to be one of those. Bulldogs.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Or red cheese. Like a weird expensive breed. But the dog was stolen on this and then I guess somehow got out. Yeah, because the dog's like, this is not my home. I'm going to, it's like a movie. The dog is like escapes. Wow. Great.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And then she drove it back. Drove it back, delivered it, and then the owner gave her $100 as a reward. That's awesome. Yeah, that's money. Yeah. All right. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
Starting point is 00:17:05 All right, let's get over and check in on the big stories of the day. Bobby's Big. Stories. An update. Police reportedly believe Bob Sagget hit his head on a marble bathroom floor before he died. This story keeps developing, and the first it was, they don't know what happened. Okay, it's a head injury. Wow, it's a really bad head injury.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And now they're going, maybe it's so bad because he fell and hit marble instead of hit Wood or... Right. Which makes a little more sense. Yes. But that's what came out this morning through the New York Post. A woman's accused of using a COVID loan to put a hit on a TSA agent. We've got to be really mad about them getting in your bag, huh?
Starting point is 00:17:47 What's the deal? Life could be getting very difficult for Jasmine Martinez very soon. This comes from Local 10. The Miami woman is facing three charges, including first-degree murder with a deadly weapon. Cops say Martinez somehow received $15,000. in the form of a COVID PPP loan and then use that cash to hire a hitman to knock off TSA agent Lashonte Jones,
Starting point is 00:18:11 who she had been threatening for years. The shooter is believed to be Javan Carter, who was seen in a phone video waving cash around, saying, just another day at the office, the cash came from $10,000 in cash withdrawals in the days leading up to the murder. I wonder without Javan waving that money if they ever track it back.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Probably not. In general, waiving money will get you in trouble. Every time, man. Because either you did something illegal. Because if you're waiving money, you don't usually have money. You don't see a lot. Most money waivers aren't usual money havers.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Like, you wave it because you're excited, you have it. And I would say most money waiving is done with money you shouldn't have. And so if you just track it back. And it just so happens her job is TSA. It's not like she was angry because of a TSA. Does it say she worked there? I never saw that. And she allegedly to hire a hitman to knockoff.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I don't say anything about her working for the TSA. Did you see it a different story? No, you said TSA agent. You literally said TSA agent. To put a hit on a TSA agent. Yeah. So I was thinking, oh, like you said, oh, does she make her mad, like going through the airport? But it's clearly they have a different relationship.
Starting point is 00:19:17 That just happens to be her job. Yeah, it's a great headline, so it made me go. We thought it all started at the airport. Well, me too. And then I read it. And I was just like, oh, she got a PPP loan and used it to hire a hitman. Yeah. But, yeah, I don't think she was.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Okay. But I know he was. Part two of Ozark comes out in April, which is fantastic if you're an Ozark fan. Yes. The second part of that first season comes out in April. We have a clip of it. Do we want to play a 13 second clip or not? I don't think we do.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Of the show? Yeah. I don't think we do. But I'm a big Netflix. Although my Netflix is not working. And one of my streaming service that paid for is not working. And it says your credit card isn't right. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Did something expire? Am I broke? You good, man? I don't know. an email? No. No, no, no, no. I went to watch, we were trying to watch Netflix last night. We were going to watch genius. Genius. The Kanye Genius documentary. And I tried to play in it. And basically it gave me insufficient funds, but on Netflix. Oh, that's not good. It was like, you ain't got no money. So stop trying to watch these shows. You can't afford this.
Starting point is 00:20:20 And so then I was like, okay, we went over to a different streaming service, and I didn't fix it. And then I got on my phone this morning because I listened to the Razorback Daily podcast. And as I was driving into work. And it was like, you don't have a card. You can't pay for this stuff. Maybe your card's just expired. Yeah, that happens. Yeah, maybe the expiration date was 2-2-2-2. Oh, classic. Oh. Okay. I don't know what that means. All right. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Tom Brady will produce and appear in a football themed road trip movie titled 80 for Brady. This is from the Hollywood Reporter. It's basically about four friends. They go and watch the Super Bowl in 2017 when New England came back and beat the Falcons, but Tom Brady is going to play himself. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:03 He's also producing it. That's better. Boy, Atlanta fans just can't get a break here. This game is brought up all the time. Productions due to begin this spring. And then the quick update on Sam Hunt, day three of the story, day one was divorce, cheating,
Starting point is 00:21:18 filed in the divorce. She filed. Yeah, and she's pregnant. Day two was, she pulled it back. Day three is, she only pulled it back because it's filed in the wrong county, and she refiled it in a different county. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Gotcha. Okay. A little bit of hope there, but... A little bit of... The court documents that were filed and withdrawn on Friday showed that she'd do to get birth in May and that they had to change because they were in the wrong Tennessee county. Oh, you know, Sam's like, seriously? You got to do the wrong county?
Starting point is 00:21:43 I think she's like, seriously? Oh, I know. Seriously, we're divorced. Now it's in the news three times. Yeah, there you go. Those are your big stories. Those were Bobby's big. Stories.
Starting point is 00:21:57 A teen was awarded $1,800. for staying off social media for six years by his mom. Wow. Huh. That's a lot. I mean, it's a lot of money, but it's also a lot of time as a kid to stay completely off social media. Yeah, $1,800 for six years. Quote, I wouldn't say there was ever a time where I thought I was about to break.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, because you hadn't tasted it yet. You know? Yeah. Yeah, if you never taste ice cream, you don't want it. Exactly. Once you get that hit, though. You never watch an episode of Breaking Bad. You never wonder what's up with Walter White because you don't know who Walter White is.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Correct. Uh, quote, I got to avoid all the unnecessary drama that was on there. That's true. That's cool. I can agree with that. The mother was confident the experiment would give her son a newfound perspective on social media. Or he'll be like a homeschool kid who goes to college. And goes eight.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And then just goes... And now he's downloading every app. Yeah. He's on all of them. So, but hey, 1800 bucks and good for him. He got the money. Another thing that happened, oh, three hours ago. Canaan Cox was on.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Just a brief reminder of who. he is. I was eating dinner with my wife and he comes up and he's like, hey, I'm a server here, but I'm also trying to make it as an artist. And if you get a few minutes, kind sir, would you, sort of like tiny tin, you know? And so I went back home and listened to him and was like, wow, brought him in. He played. He went and did a little mini tour in cities, our shows on. And he's really been doing great. Well, he quit his job at the restaurant. And this is about a 30 second clip of that. Here is me talking to Canaan. After you, started to kind of pop off. I definitely don't work at Del Friscoes anymore, so thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I'm looking at all your upcoming shows. I was going to actually invite you down to play with us on the 12th, and we're playing outside of Tampa, but you have a show in Greenville, South Carolina. So it looks like... Dude, I will... That is an acoustic show with my boy, Rich. If I called him, he is one of my biggest supporters. Said, hey, man, Bobby Ballons lost me to play with him. I'm sorry. I'm sure he would come to the show. You tell me when and where. And there it is. He's going to Plant City, Florida, on March 12th with us, The Raging Idiots. We're doing one show the whole year,
Starting point is 00:24:00 but Cain and Cox will now perform in our set as well. Poor Roots. Yeah, if you want to... I know. He has to hear it on the radio, his buddy canceled on him. Tickets at Raging Idiots.com, but Abby will sing the National Anthem. Canaan will come out.
Starting point is 00:24:13 The Raging Idiots will play. There was a Netflix special a couple years ago. Beyonce spent all year training for one show, which was Coachella. And so the special is that. I feel like this is the Raging Idiots. We're doing one show this year. This is it.
Starting point is 00:24:27 This is it. And ours is with Kane and Cox and Abbey. At the Strawberry Festival. Have you started training? Yeah, we did some stuff. Okay. It's coming up. We're always training.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah, we're always training. Yeah, we're always training. Great. I'd love to see it. Kane and Cox, hope that guy really gets a fair shot and, you know, makes it one day, so we're here to help him. I'm about to go 100% nerd alert on you guys, because we were talking about phones. And I think we all have the conversation. How does it know?
Starting point is 00:24:56 How does it know where I am? How does it know when I am? How does it know who I am? All the questions. And we had general ideas because we know our phones are tracking us. But here you go. A great listener named Daniel sent this to me. Hey, I'm a master student in computer engineering.
Starting point is 00:25:13 I wanted to help explain how phones can track you. On iPhones, you actually get little alerts at the top showing if your camera or microphone are in use. So most apps don't use sounder video. However, they do use your search history, demographic, and location. Essentially, they know generally if you're a man or a woman, your race, and can even tell how long you've hovered over a link, a picture, or generally what region you're in. I'll stop for a second.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Hover. That doesn't mean you click it. It just shows the amount of time you look at it. And they know if you're just on something for a minute, there must be some interest there. All right, back to the note. They can use this with patterns they've extracted from machine. learning models to predict what to sell you. This is why it can appear to be reading your mind.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I'm going to stop and interject here. I think because 10 million other people have hovered and made decisions, they then go, if you hovered and you live in this place and you're this age, you probably are going to. So they're predicting more than they are reading your mind. If you see a certain pattern in your behavior, sorry, if they see a certain pattern in your they can predict what you'll purchase next before you even do. Wow. This is based off of what other users have done.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Phones are listening to you and they have a wake word. And he says, think of Siri or Alexa or Google. When you say it and your machine comes on, that's the wake word for that machine. The phones apparently have wake words as well that are hired. So let's say if you want to sell khakis, and you call up, you know, I like to buy some cackies. And so they can program into a phone in an area that if anyone says the word cacky, it's like, ooh, it's like when you say Alexa, ooh, wakes up and listens, hears it, and then it starts to send you cackies.
Starting point is 00:27:10 You're kind of right about that. Ish. Yeah. And it says, but the phones don't send data until the wake word is heard. But when it is heard, every bit of audio they've captured is fair game for ads to you. Whoa. Hope that cleared some of this up. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Best regards, Daniel. Wow. That's good. It's a pretty legit message. Hold on. Cackies. You don't know if that's a wake word or not, though. Cackies.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Thank you, Daniel. We really appreciate that. Neuroscientists recorded a dying brain. I liked the story because it was interesting, but it also made me kind of sad. They recorded a brain, and they were using EEG to detect and treat seizures in an 87-year-old. old man, and it was the first time they'd ever done this, and they say that our life does flash before our eyes. It was the first time they'd ever done this. Rhythmic brain wave patterns were observed that were almost exactly that someone retrieves memories, but it was super fast. Like a catalog.
Starting point is 00:28:14 It's more intense. So, like, they could put a little machine in our head, and we'd look back at memories, and it would go, okay, you can tell based on what the brain activity is. And, you can tell, that they are recalling. But when this guy was dying, it was like super fast and longer. Crazy. It supports a theory known as life recall that we relive our entire life
Starting point is 00:28:34 in the space of seconds, like a flash of lightning just prior to death. The brain may remain active and coordinated during and after the transition to death. So interesting, also sad, and also freaks me out if I start to have...
Starting point is 00:28:49 You start to see your life. I'm like, oh, no, I'm out of here. I don't want to remember anything now. I'm trying to... trying to avoid memories at all costs. I'm like, no, no, no, no. So, but they actually, you know, they were able to put it on this guy. And sadly, he did pass away, but they did gather this information.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And I thought that story was just wild. So there you go. This is like Nerd Minute. Let's just finish Nerd Minute. Amy has kids. They're in school, and the coaches and the teachers use different apps to communicate with you. Yes. One app.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Does the school have one app? No, unfortunately. I just didn't know if other parents. felt this way too and somehow we could just collectively get a universal app to have the students communicate and get schedules and different things because teachers have, they each have, or coaches, they each have their favorite one to use. So they all use a different one? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:41 That's so weird. Like we've had to download multiple and then it's like trying to keep up with the one. And then there's like group, like the players all group chat on the app. So it's like a protected app for schools to use or like coaches. But it's just we need one. We just need one. Universal. That's it. So do you have to remember, okay, if it's this class and this teacher, I got to go over and look at the Yahoo app. Yeah, I mean, it's this class, it's confusing. Yeah. And then I go cross-reference it with emails that are sent.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I feel like I talk to some parents and we're just, we live in a confused state and we try to rely on each other for like, hey, you're good or we just tell our kids, hey, figure this out when you get to school and then text me. Well, we're ready, but just let me know that this is confirmed. You would think they could streamline that at school and have one. And I think they are doing, like, respectively, they are doing their part and doing a good job at it. But when you're trying to keep up with, especially if you have multiple kids, it gets to be a lot of moving parts. And teachers can email you. This is a whole different world from where we were in school. I mean, my parents didn't even know the teacher.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I mean, I don't even know if they knew who was teaching me. But we were here today and you got a call and you were like, oh, bomb, scare at my school. My daughter's school. Yeah, so I got a text message alerting me to check my email for a. note. And so then I went to the email and it said that, yeah, there was a bomb threat. Okay. I'm not a big road rage guy, mostly because I know I mess up too. And so unless somebody's just doing it on purpose and you don't really know that. I tend to not get too mad.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Sometimes I freak out if someone almost hits me. But you ever watch somebody in your rearview and like you're stopped and they're coming a little too hot and you're like, oh my God, here it comes. Oh yeah. And they stop just in time. You're freaking out the whole time. Oh, boy. And there's nowhere you can go because there's a car in front of you. And sometimes they go up on the side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Most times, that's not me. That's the person behind me. A couple times it's been me. Yeah, it's been me. Yeah. So not a big road rage person. Eddie is, and we'll go back to him in a second. But in a video, the unidentified suspect is seen lashing out of a victim who goes by Amaro
Starting point is 00:31:46 in a McDonald's parking lot in Richmond. So a furious woman rams a mother of two's car outside of a McDonald's. for cutting her off before running the woman over too. Wow. I'm going to break it down. I'm going to break the play down for you. The suspect cut in front of the person who was in the line. The suspect then started throwing items, including a water bottle, at the other car.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Then she goes back inside of her vehicle and rams the car. Then the person who was in line gets out in front of the car and is like, hey, what's going on? I'm not letting you drive away from the scene. So then the suspect accelerates and runs over the person with the front bumper. Wow. So gets mad that they got cut, starts throwing stuff, rams them, and then runs them over. The suspect then got out of the vehicle and punched the person several times before driving away. Of course.
Starting point is 00:32:36 But it doesn't just unidentified suspect. Surely they got to know who this is from Daily Mail. That's all the things. Yeah. There's so much underlying anger there. Like it really... Yeah, like what happened to them earlier in the day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Like she just has to or like she's carrying around something and then road rage is where it comes out. I think that's what road rage is underlying anger elsewhere in your life that presents itself in those circumstances and you lose control. Eddie has someone who suffers from road rage and at times does really dumb things even with your kids in the car. Do you feel that? No, I disagree with that 100%. I'm having a great day. It's just when someone is driving recklessly or doing something that I feel. I turn, I go into what would you call it, vigilante,
Starting point is 00:33:20 Is it what's it called? Why do you say it's a vigilante mode? Now he's saying it's vigilante. So like, I'll give an example. Are you Batman? The other day. The Batman of the road? We're all driving on two lanes, right?
Starting point is 00:33:30 And there's a car and I can see my rear view late for work or something passing everyone left and right. And I'm like, oh, here he comes. And he starts passing me on the turning lane to my left. So I act like, well, you know what? I need to turn two. So I block him. Give me to the right. On the left, you know, when you're driving, there's a turning lane.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Oh, got it. You're not in the inner. In the middle. Yeah. So I get in the middle. turning lane, I just stop right there and keep my left blinker on. Why? But why? Because Eddie... That could have created an accident too, worse than
Starting point is 00:33:56 anything he was doing. He needs to slow down. He's putting everyone in danger. And that's when I get in... See, I'm not even road range. I'm trying to help everyone else on the road. No, you get angry. That's an angry move. That's like a... It's underlying something. Underlying is that you don't know it's there, so I'm not surprised that Eddie disagreed with what I'm saying. Is because it's underlying? And to your point, Amy, when Eddie gets upset, he does go into his garage
Starting point is 00:34:18 and just breaks things. Bones, I did that once. Maybe twice. You said you liked breaking rooms. You like breaking things and brooms. So there's something in you. Let's talk about it. We brought in a therapist. Go on in.
Starting point is 00:34:29 No, I'm just kidding. Hey, good second. Where is it? I mean, I thought about it. It's just like, it's just, I get in this mode wherever I feel like, you know, I can't do something about a situation. I get frustrated. What about when you screw up on the road?
Starting point is 00:34:42 I have a lot of grace because I, like, if I screw. You just said, no, no, no, no. What I'm saying is I never cut people off. or doing it like that, there's accidental times where I have to cut someone off because I was spacing and oh my gosh, I got to get in the right lane to exit. And what if someone did to you the crap that you're doing to others? I would understand it.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Okay. He's like, I give myself great. How do you know the difference? You can't roll down the window and be like, hey, what was your reason for doing that? I would just say chill out. Okay. Just mind my own is what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:35:10 A wise man once said, don't start no S won't be no S. So let people do their thing unless they're hurting somebody. You could cause an accident worse than they ever would. Yeah, trying to block someone. I slowed him down. I slowed him down. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:23 So now he's like proud of himself. Everybody, when you start to feel road rage, just let's think about how dumb Eddie sounds in this segment. They're probably like, I would have done the same thing. Eddie thinks he's a vigilante. You heard him. But people with it, they don't see it. It's almost like they're in denial. Like listen to him.
Starting point is 00:35:37 They don't see it and they have to want to see it and want to. Yeah, the first steps acknowledge. Bones, you know when like the Razorbacks lose? That's the only time I fell rage. It's the only time I feel rage. I see Red. If we lose a close game, I see Red and I hate everybody that ever had to. an association with the other school that just beat us for the whole life.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I feel the same way when I see someone do something wrong on the road. Okay. Bobby Bone Show. Story of the day. This story comes with us from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A man was driving a car and he had warrants out for his arrest when police tried to pull him over for speeding. He pulls over to the side of the road and he's like, man, I got to make a run for it. jumps out of the car, starts running, running.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Only a problem means he had a gun in his waistband. It started to fall. He grabbed it. Boom. Shot himself in the floor. foot. Did it say what his priors were? Because you don't run from a cop unless you've had some real trouble and you know if they catch you going to jail. It doesn't say what his priors were. They said we were unclear what he was facing, but he is now facing resisting arrest. I would also imagine
Starting point is 00:36:34 he probably shouldn't have had that gun. Right. Probably not if he's in trouble. And also if he's just wearing in his waistband like straight up. He's got it ready. And he should have the safety on. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. A guy in New York collected a $10 million prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket, which itself is a story. And there's a lot of lottery stories. But this one is crazy because won $10 million from a scratch-off. But just three years after winning the same amount from another scratch-off.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Oh, wow. How does that happen? Like, this is not a big psychic guy. Don't really believe in psychics. This is the kind of guy I would need to talk to, though. And, like, put him on, you know, put one of those, lamp put him under one of those lamps in a dark room like the cops do when they interrogate somebody and be like how'd you do this you know I really because something's up it's just like he picked numbers
Starting point is 00:37:26 yeah he's just gonna say I don't know dude like who does he know what does he know does he have an almanac from the future oh like biff there's something this dude no you don't win 10 million you don't win 10 million dollars once but somebody has to because they exist you don't win 10 million dollars twice Hernandez said he couldn't help feeling a bit of deja vu oh good yeah Not a bit. He previously won $10 million from a cash spectacular scratch-off ticket he bought in 2019. He took the lump sum of $6,500,000. He doesn't have plans for a second jackpot yet.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Yeah, because he was just a $10 million from the other one. Those 10 million scratch-offs, though, they cost like $100 to play. Okay, but there's no chance you spend that kind of money getting to... There's just no way. There's just no way. Something's up. I would investigate this guy. I think he went a little too far.
Starting point is 00:38:14 It's like the person who can't stop Robin Banks. Eventually, they're going to catch you. All right, guys. I really got one more on me before that. That's from UPI. That story is wild. We'll see you tomorrow. John Parties on tomorrow.
