Fin.com. Own the dream. What's happening, friends? Welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning, morning. Hey, a little later on, Ben Hansen will be on, who is a former federal agent, but now he's a UFO investigator. You know this right up my alley. I got lots of questions. First question, what do we not know?

Just straight up. I'm sure he'll tell you. What do we not know? That's real good. Thank you. Great question. I hope everybody's good. Here are the top three songs in country music right now at Nune.

Number three, Chase Rice and FGL, drinking beer, talking God, amen. Justin Moore at number two, we didn't have much. And the number one song is Dan and Shay, glad you exist. Their eighth number one, who do you think has the number one pop song? Just guess. The driver's license girl? She has the number one and number two. Olivia Rodrigo.

Here is good for you, the number one pop song. Deja Vu is at number two. Do you get deja vu and she's with you? And the number one alternative song is Modest Mouse. We Are Between. Oh. Wow, they're still going, huh? I know.

I saw them at Lala. You did? Don't call it. No, no, no. Just recently when they did the live stream on TV. Oh, you sell them on TV. Do you know Modest Mouse is a big song? Yes.

I listen to... Hold on. Whoa, whoa. I hear the song in my ears right now, so I can't hold it. It's called float on. Yeah. And we'll all float on. All right.

Already we'll all float on. All right. Already we'll all float on. There you go. I hope everybody's. Well, you didn't get it. There is a doot doot in there. I woke up standing up in the middle of the night last night.

First time that's ever happened. I don't know. I sleep stood. I woke up on my feet. That is never. I've been having some crazy sleeping issues. I wake up four. or five nights a week for about two hours, maybe three hours in the middle of the night,

every night. Can't figure it out. I'm trying all kinds of stuff. But last night I woke up standing up. I was almost sleepwalking. I was sleep standing. And I woke up and I was like, whoa, where am I? Standing next to my bed. I don't know what's next. So how long do you think you were standing there? I don't think very long. Oh. But I just know that I was, I kind of felt myself up higher and I was like, somebody right? And I woke up and I was like, I'm on my feet. That's crazy. I wonder what else you did. I don't know.

But it is, it's a bizarre feeling. And I can't be healthy. That's not healthy. I haven't been healthy sleeping for a year now at this point. I think you should do a sleep study. I know. One of our friends did it, and they showed a picture of himself, and he had tubes all up in his nose. But if it's going to lead to you getting better sleep.

I don't trust it. Okay. Have you seen the ghost dog lately? Oh, there was a ghost dog in my house. There's a white dog. Our property's gated. A dog can't get in. There was a white dog.

It was like a chow or a hot. husky or something right outside the glass door. Glowing white. It wasn't glowing, but it was very white. And so I take Eller and just put her in the room for a second and shut the door. And then I walk outside and the dog is gone. No word is found. Crazy. There was a ghost dog. That and now you're standing waking up.

Let's go over now and open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones and Crew. a ripe old age of 37, and as someone that has come from buying CDs, I find myself a little confused on how to support artists in the digital age. What's the difference between add to my library versus add to a playlist? And if that's not how to support them, how do I support them? Thanks, Christina Ann. Okay, so add to my library. That's just a straight up. It's right down the middle.

Like everything you possibly have, it goes right on top of that list. Add to a playlist if you have a Like I have 90s country. And if I'm like, oh, I like this Dean at Carter's song, I may not just want to add it to my library because they'll get added there automatically, but it'll also add to that playlist. It doesn't do a lot for the artist. Like, there's not a lot of difference. How I would say you can really support artists is buy a ticket to a show,

buy merch. That's a big deal, especially for artists that aren't Luke Bryan or Jason Aldine. You can not buy their merch. They're going to be fine. They're multi, multi-millionaires. But like a new artist, like that merch makes a big difference. And you can share their music on Instagram story or Instagram. And be like, hey, I really like this artist because word of mouth is a big way now that it gets out.

I mean, those are the best ways to support an artist digitally. Yeah, for sure. I feel like I find new songs that I like from people posting them in their stories. Like TV shows, right? What do we watch now except for what people recommend to us mostly? Mm-hmm. And it's all word of mouth. And it takes a second.

I mean, think about Ted Lassow. The only reason I ever watched Ted Lassow was because enough people slowly started coming to me going, Hey, have you watched Ted Lasso? And I'm like, no, this show looks dumb. Yeah. And then I watched it and I was like, and now I tell everybody about it because it's so good. So that's what I would say.

Just add it to your library, add it to your list if it makes sense. But merch helps. Tickets help. Spreading the word on social media helps. Is there a difference between streaming and going to iTunes and buying the song for a dollar? Yes.

Well, the difference is with iTunes, it's going to cost you two bucks, right? But you own the song. Streaming, if you lose your subscription to the song. service, you don't pay it anymore, it's gone, but you can get all you want for, you know, 12 bucks a month. Yeah. But, and they do pay differently as well.

I don't buy it. I mean, really, nobody goes to iTunes anymore. It's always weird when people show off their iTunes. Like, oh, look what I'm number one on iTunes. Okay, there's 11 people over there. For the moment, iTunes is, is drastically diminished in terms of what people are doing. Because no one's buying music when you can stream it all. Yeah.

Well, now there's Apple music. Yeah. It's like renting versus owning, right? Yeah. Yes. but you always get to keep the rental as long as you keep your subscription out. And there's limitless on the rent.

We used to rent furniture, rent to own when I was a kid. You could rent it, but you would keep paying on that one thing. Imagine if you were paying a subscription to rent all the furniture. But you got all the furniture. You want it all the time. New furniture and new furniture.

That's the difference. So that's how to support an artist. I appreciate that. You can also support the raging idiots, Eddie and Mike. Correct. We are, too, starving artists. We are, yes. Just by a story. streaming it and telling friends about it.

Which, by the way, we are playing on Friday at 2 p.m. in Syracuse, New York. We're the very first act on the big stage at the New York State Fair. So if you guys want to come out, we would love to see you guys. All right, that's the mailbag. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Yesterday on the show, we were talking about a woman that was going to have her baby.

They're driving to the hospital. she had to pull over because they weren't going to make it to the hospital. They were right at a fire station and the firefighters delivered her baby. We're like, wow, that's cool. Wonder if firefighters had to train to actually have a baby. Are they ever there during a birth to learn? Scuba Steve, our executive producer said, no, I trained to be a firefighter in an EMT. And every one of us went, what?

Scoo, Steve, I need to hear this story. So how old were you when you decided you wanted to be a firefighter slash EMT? I was about 18, 19. And you decided to go to school to do. do that? Yes, this is when I was searching for what my career was going to be in life. Tried a few things. That was one of those things. And you went to school though and you finished. Yeah, went to school, finished. EMT, top of my class, killing it and firefighting, but didn't pursue. Did you ever have to do the thing where you'd run up the stairs?

I was, I got that first. Up the stairs, carry the hose, turn it on and then repel off the building. Yeah, I got first place. Wow. Of course. And you didn't want to do that as a career? There was a part where we got into the next stage where it was all about tight spaces and I'm claustrophobic and I thought I could get over it and the anxiety kicked in and I couldn't do it. So I knew that that was not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Did you ever go and ride on the side of a fire truck and do any calls? Not on the side, but we did do some calls where I was there at the station, did some calls where we sat in the fire truck and went for some rides. Do you have any of those skills still today, like EMT skills?

Yeah, I mean, some of them may be updated over the last 15, 20 years, but I have the basic knowledge to save somebody if we needed to. So you also could do CPR. I can do CPR, I can do a tracheotomy, I can do all that kind of stuff. Trageotomy? So you take like a pin or a knife and stab it in someone's throat? Yes, exactly. Yeah. If we needed to and you gave me permission, I could do it. Let's spin the wheel. Yeah. I mean, that's wild.

And your plan when you went into firefighter EMT school was to do what? Well, I wanted to work for, my long-term goal was to work at Reedy Creek, which is located on Disney property. I feel like to be a really cool place to work at Disney for those kinds of calls. but that or working for the county which paid the most. And did you want to be an EMT or a firefighter? Both. Because if you do both, you can pay a little more, there's a little more advantage if you do both of them.

But where do you go to work though in the daytime? Do you go to the fire station? So you work at the fire station, yes. You just also are a medic as well. So depending on what's the call for, you go to it. Did you have to do needles? Yes, needles, yeah. So you had to stick them in people?

Yeah, it was not fun. Yeah. That was another part where I just wasn't a fan of either. I just realized going through this whole class and everything, these were not the skill sets I wanted to obtain. So you went all the way through school? All the way through the whole thing, yeah. You finished?

Yes. Where in your class? With EMT, number one, and firefighting top three. Did you have any job you wanted, basically? That was another problem. It's very political. And you knew day one, when they were coming in, the fire chief, who was the instructor,

would call certain kids out because their father was a fire chief or a firefighter. So they had the upper hand, even though they got Ds and Cs, they got the jobs that I wanted. So I was like, getting into this game, so I'm out. Classic.

Yeah. Do you ever drive by a house that's on fire and go, I could go put that out right now if I needed to? I mean, not really. When I was going through the school, I was always excited, ready for it. But now I'm kind of like, nah, I'm over it. Do you have a poll in your house? You slide down? For other things?

Okay. See them with that? So we can't have nice things, guys. No, but does your wife, is she attracted to the fact that you were a firefighter for a second? No, not at all. She doesn't really care about it. Does she know? She knows, yeah.

You have like an old uniform maybe? I kept some of my stuff, yeah. Oh, interesting. This has gone to a place I wasn't expecting. Well, that's interesting. Scoobo Steve is the most interesting guy on the show. That's right. And it comes up about once every month or so.

He's done something new. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan Number 2's 32nd Skinny. Carly Pierce is dropping part two of her 29 album called Written in Stone on September 17th. She shares what fans can expect on the project. Quite frankly, a lot of things have happened in the last three months that I've written that just didn't feel like they fit in this. Like, this is kind of like part one.

So I feel like there's a part two. You know, it's like I just had to like get all this out. Parker McCollum is watching his tourmates, Riley Green, and Dirk's Bentley closely while on the road. I'll be side stage for Riley Show and Dirk's show every night, just kind of taking notes. really it's all about just watching how Dirk's goes about his business and how he carries himself on the road. And so I'm really, really grateful to have an opportunity to get some insight on it before they throw me out there as a headliner. James and Rogers has plenty of songs for the next few albums. I counted the other day that I'd written like 110 songs since last March.

And that's not including all the songs that I've written in the years before that, that I've kind of just been sitting on waiting for their chance to come out. You know what I mean? So it's a good problem to have. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.

Tell me something good. Tragedy struck at a Minnesota animal rescue, but volunteers came up with a solution they called Nothing Short of a Miracle. Rough Start Rescue, RUFF, Ruff Start Rescue. That's pretty good. It's cute. It says a mama dog named Poppy unexpectedly passed away after giving birth to 10 puppies. The large litter had volunteers.

here scrambling to give the motherless pups their best chance at survival. And then they heard about another tragedy. Mom and Dog Pepper had given birth to a large litter of puppies and they all died. So they took pepper in and then they put the puppies with her and she started feeding the litter. Oh, cool. So it actually, both of them lost. The puppies lost their mom. The mom lost the puppies.

But they matched them together real quick and instinctively started nursing. I love that. Which is wild. Let me tell you. We have a cabin in Arkansas that we bought. Love going there. And there is a place near it called Barkinsaw. Love it.

Love it. It's the greatest animal name I've ever heard of in the state of Arkansas. And I just like, how did no one think of this until now? Barkansas. Wild. And I'm not kidding. There is within three miles of it, there's a place where you buy live bait because it's near water. No, stop it.

Stop. it. I'm not kidding. you're going with this. I'm not kidding. It's a real place. So there's Barkansas, and then there are they consider themselves to be masters at baiting. So their name of it is the master

faders. Oh my gosh. It's on a huge sign. That's funny. So you see Barkansas and then you see Masters at Batting. No, but that's not what it says. I know. But they consider themselves to be get out of here. So they call, it says master. We get it.

No, we get it. We get it. Caitlin rolls her eyes every time she drives by that sign. In the Barkins Hall and every time I see it, I'm like, that's so awesome. She goes, I know you tell me every time. Okay, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's say you're in your kitchen and you'd moved into this house and there was a fridge that was already there. You find $130,000 taped to the bottom of your fridge.

What do you do? I guess I contact my Realtor and see about getting it back to the previous homeowners and just hope that it's there. and it's not the owners before them? Because, I mean, you don't know who it could really belong to. So that's a rough one, but I call my realtor. But you don't say how much is in there. Oh, yeah, because you need to... You say, I found something taped to the bottom of my fridge.

Yeah, maybe don't even say it's money. You're right. And they're going to guess it's money probably, but how much? But also, I'm not just turning it in out of the goodness of my heart. I'm turning it in, so the drug deal... They don't find you. Yeah, I don't want the cartel coming up to my house. Yeah, lost money is always going to be looked for. And that much money?

$130,000? They will find it. If you found $130,000 lunchbox taped to the bottom of your fridge, what would you do? Drive to my bank and put it in a bank account. That's it. I mean, it's my money. I bought the house.

I bought the house in everything that comes in it. Technically you're right. I'm scared for my life, though. Yeah, you're going to go missing lunchbox. Recently, this guy bought a refrigerator, and while he was cleaning it out, discovered $130,000 taped to the bottom. Police are now working to identify the online

seller. They're also trying to figure out who I, who delivered it. They're linking it back, but they shouldn't put how much money in the story. No, no, they shouldn't. But then remember, remember my story that did tell me something good where granny left $25,000 in the freezer? Like, I mean, it could be granny. And if it's granny, dude, that is yours. It's not a drug dealer. Exactly. Since 2016, there's been a trend in this area for people to store cash in the refrigerators, the average fridge where people are storing money, I'm assuming for shady stuff. A fridge can old $895,000 in cash. Oh my. That's probably stacked, though.

That's from UPI. Oh, I'm sure. It's just stacked all the way in. If you found $130,000, you're keeping it? Absolutely keeping it. And you're not worried that they're going to break in your house, track the fridge down and murder you and your family? No, because then what I'll do is I'll keep that money and then I'll sell the fridge. I don't have the fridge.

What if it was just a little... But they know you have the fridge. They probably know where it is. No, no, but you sell it then. Get rid of the fridge. Keep the money. I mean, I think we're assuming that it could be for bad, but what if it's a little lady that wanted her, savings to be safe.

What if it was a kid's lemonade stand? That's too much of that. What if it was the cartel? That's more likely to me. I hear you on that. Three to one, giving it back? Who gives it back, though, from the kindness of their heart? And who gives it back out of fear safety? You're not giving it back? I'm giving it back, but it's fear.

Me too, fear, fear. Two fears, one kindness of the heart from Amy. Yeah. One, keep it, pay me. Because if I had money hidden and I forgot it, I would want someone to reach out to me. If I hit $130,000 and I forgot it, I'm an idiot. But if I'm old Yeah, apparently everybody's little and old in your world On the Bobby Bones show now

Former Federal Agent and UFO investigator Ben Hansen Ben, how are you? Good, how are you Bobby? You're a federal agent Do you feel like you know so much more than we even want to know as normal citizens? We'll talk about the UFO world That's not what I was working in

But I can say that in general There's a lot that the government rightly does keep from people, so they don't have to worry about it. Yeah, because anybody I've ever met that has done some FBI work or any of the federal work, they're like, you don't want to know. Like, we know stuff you don't want to know, and we've tried to fix it, so you never have to know it. Would you say that in your job and your career line before you did UFO,

investigating that was the case? Yeah, we have so much to worry about on our plate anyways, right? So it's kind of like if you knew how many terrorist plots were foiled or how many of our adversaries are trying to spy and get information from us. It'd probably be too much to deal with. Well, how do you become a UFO investigator then? What was that step? You left working for the government to figure out UFOs?

No, I left for... But I was into UFOs well before that. Watching the movie, E.T. was my favorite. And then I got into X-Files, you know, in high school and everything. and so I was a nerd. I was researching this stuff long before, and it had always been an interest for me. I'm going to go right to the question,

then, do you believe that there are things coming to our planet that we don't know about? I would give it a percentage, and from what I've seen myself, the people I've talked to and everything I've experienced, 95%. 95%? 95% what?

Like, what? That there are aliens? that little people or something foreign coming to our country or coming to our earth? Yeah, that we've been visited by entities, people, things from... If someone comes up to you and says, hey, I have had a UFO experience, do you tend to believe them initially? I can't... They're telling their story. It's kind of like how fantastical is it. but because I've had my own experiences and I've talked to people that I do believe. Ben Hansen is on with us.

Former Federal Agent and UFO Investigator, and he has, which launched on July 2nd, Roswell, the final verdict. And you can watch this on Discovery Plus. So in Roswell, do we think that there's something they're hiding from us, spaceships, aliens, spacecraft? Do you think there's something in buildings there? Not anymore. Not down in Roswell.

but most people only know this from pop culture. So if you go back and you look at how many people, dozens, if not hundreds of witnesses now have come forward, and you put the whole timeline together, we can tell you where the debris was picked up, what flights it went on, we can tell you where the bodies were taken, we can tell you where they were examined,

and we can tell you the descriptions of people who didn't compare notes, that these were non-human. I was watching Unsolved Mysteries. and all these people from up in the Northeast that were an hour or two hours away from each other, they never talked to each other. They got seemingly, if you believe their story, got abducted and then put back down. And as they share their stories, never having, you know, spoke to each other about it, they had the same exact stories.

Like when you hear that happen, do you go, okay, I kind of believe this now? Yeah, you have to look at the pattern. And when you're looking at somebody, okay, so Roswell, for example, a lot of these, witnesses were threatened with their lives. They were, they were told that they would be taken the desert shot. So it wasn't until like the 70s and 80s when they realized, well, the government's not doing that to the witness. And they have the same story about being involved different parts of the, the whole cover up and, and the description. When you add, you know, one person is interesting, two, three is coincidental, but when you have dozens of people

with the same patterns, the same descriptions, it's very hard to dismiss. Okay, being a UFO investigator and you put the percentage at 95% that we have been visited by something that's not of our earth here. Do you think that they all look the same or are they different kinds of aliens? Like some of them, you know, have organic matters. Some of them are, I don't know, are they all the same? But I think based on what other people have told me, what I think are the most credible story, multiple races, if you're very human-like. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and then others, you know, fit the gray alien, you know, description. Are they working together?

Are they completely different? So are you telling me that we could possibly have aliens on this planet now that look like humans and we don't even know they're aliens? A lot of people believe that. No, do you? Ben Hansen, do you believe that there could be extraterrestrials but are living as just terrestrials? I guess I would have to have an open mind and say that is a possibility. This is very interesting to me.

Now, right now, Ben Hansen's on, former federal agent, UFO investigator. Roswell, the final verdict, is already out. July 2nd on Discovery Plus. Shot docks, alien invasion Hudson Valley. What is the difference? What's this show about? Hudson Valley is an area where a lot of UFO sightings happened in the 90s, and some people knew about that,

but extended all the way to the early 1900s, and just, you know, people seeing triangles and discs. And some of them are actually quite frightening. So, you know, why this specific area of New York and Connecticut? Is it the people? Is it the region? Does it make you nervous? As someone who is searching for UFOs, you feel like it's a probability in your mind.

They obviously have extremely just so, the technology is on a different level than we have. Are you nervous about this? Well, you know, like a lot of people kind of critical. besides me and saying, well, you're sensationalizing that it's all malevolent, and I'm not at all. I think it would be scary to anybody if you had an encounter like they're describing and against your will, you're maybe taken from your home, out of board someplace, you're examined, you have no control over it, or if you just look at the military point of view, these craft are making incursions on our airspace, and we have no control. We can't keep them out. We don't know where

they're going or where they're from. I mean, that is a national security threat. So, yeah, there is a threat level associated to this. How do we know this isn't like some black ops thing where they're creating military special craft and they're just not sharing with us and they have to get out and go, no, this is not us? Like, are you sure, like these oceans, like you'll see the thing pop over the ocean, gone? You know, it's a weird shape, it's moving in a weird propulsion. It's not gas or fire. Oh, is it, in your mind, any chance that this is us or Russia or China, like Black Ops, you know, creating some sort of a technology fighter plane here? That's what makes it complex. What I don't think a lot of people are looking at is it could be both.

So when you see these Navy videos of the Tic Tacs and things are describing, they also have corroborating radar data and the jet fighters who are chasing these. When they disappear and reappear, or go from 75,000 feet down to zero in less than a second, we're talking about capabilities. of craft that are traveling over, you know, 13, 24,000 miles an hour, I hope that it's not ours. Because if you're saying that far ahead of us, that's a really scary thought. But then you have the other half that, yeah, a lot of this is described as drones, and they're not exhibiting non-conventional maneuvering. They're just able to chase our Navy ships. That could be experimental.

And so that's kind of convoluted into one thing. It makes it hard. Do you think whomever is the president knows if there are aliens or not? You know, a lot of researchers disagree on this. Personally, I think some presidents probably were told. Early on, I think Eisenhower probably had the full picture, you know, that were involved, like the CIA director, George Bush, probably knew a lot about it. But as you get four to eight years, there's really no need to tell them.

and you can see the frustration from President Clinton. Obama can say, well, they're telling me there's nothing there. I don't know there might be. How frustrating. You're the president of the United States, and you don't even know if you're getting the full story. Ben Hanson is on. Former federal agent, UFO investigator. I guess in a world of HD, the common question is, why don't we see these?

It's like Bigfoot. We always get the grainy stuff. It's something we might think is a hairy dude running in the woods. Why aren't we like straight up seeing the Tick-Tac right on our iPhone or right with some high-capability camera? Why is it so bad visually? And that is a big criticism that I think is unwarranted because you don't understand the people that make those comments,

they don't understand that you're dealing with systems that are half a million dollars of thermal technology and it's meant to film in black and white. It senses heat, right? and even though your cell phone is highly advanced, you can't even take a video of an airliner a mile away without it being blurry at night. Right?

So let alone go try to film something that's flying several thousand miles an hour, and we're just not there with the technology. But it is cool because we can evidence some of it. Here's my final question to you, Ben Hansen. And I mean this in a complimentary way, because that's someone who used to be a special agent for the FBI. You're very responsible. You are highly regarded. But do your friends and your contemporaries that you worked with go, dude, did you go crazy now that you're investigating UFOs?

Do they ever do that to you? Emails every so often, but it is complimentary. They think what I'm doing is really awesome. I really have not had any of them say, well, maybe one or two of them are like, hey, if you wanted to come back, you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot. But look at the government in general now, finally admitting that they can't explain it. We have an agency being created as we speak to investigate these things. So I'm waiting for that phone call. All right. Final, final question. If you had to compare an alien to what we've seen on shows, X-Files, Independence Day, Men and Black, what do they mostly look like in your mind? Like, what

TV show, should we compare them to? Most encounters, kind of like little children. That's kind of mostly what people are describing as the small, probably the... Both of the shows are up now. Roswell, the final verdict, and shock docs, alien invasion, Hudson Valley, which is out as well. Both are on Discovery Plus. That is Ben Hanson, our former FBI agent, UFO investigator right here on the Bobby Bone show. Thanks, Ben.

Scientists have developed a new battery that converts two milliliters of sweat into 20 hours worth of electricity.

Wow, that's cool. So your next smart, watch could be powered by sweat. Like what I look forward to when they upgrade phones is longer batteries. I guess I'm old now. I don't know what features. There is a filter though on TikTok now that puts a grinning face on someone. Have you guys seen that?

No. Holy moly. It's like regardless of what face that you have, it puts a grin on you. Like that's going to be the next thing in phones, right? It's to be able to do all that stuff. But you can sweat and that will turn into power, which is pretty. Pretty cool. I have an Apple Watch. I like it fine. Some days I'm very disappointed with my purchase. I use it to work out mostly and just to track. But I'm wearing it today. But we do those stories of people like falling down and like breaking their neck and the Apple Watch calls a friend. Yeah. I should wear it more because of that. Do you get your text on your watch and everything? No, I haven't set up my cell phone on it yet. Oh. It won't. I keep getting an error message. Yeah, you can, you'd probably like getting your calendar updates on it. It'll get a little. ZZZ. I feel like you would enjoy that.

The Bible Bowl show Here's Amy's pile of stories So Google Trends put out a list of the top Tattoo designs that we're Googling this year Tattoo designs Yeah so if you want to be kind of Barbed wire around your arm Butterflies

Oh that might be one though How did Eddie know that? That's the number one Google tattoo this year Have you been looking in them? No, I have not You have no tattoos Zero and you don't want one Uh-uh

Of all the stuff that you do to be young You don't want a tattoo You paint your fingernails Man that's forever dude Those tattoos are permanent Yeah, but that's why you get something that's going to last forever. Yeah. I mean, technically they have lasers now, but...

Okay. So at number one's butterflies. Yeah. And then at number two is semicholins, which that's a suicide awareness thing, and I didn't realize why. So I looked it up and it said that just as a semicolon represents for readers to kind of pause before continuing the sentence, it's to remind people to pause before something happens and that your story isn't over yet. There's more to tell. So I love that.

In it number three is... Sunflowers. I guess Vanessa Hudgens got one and it's picked up popularity. Listen, there ain't no chance Vanessa Hudgens setting a trend for tattoos. She may have one, but she's not set in the trend. Yeah, well, as for the butterflies, though, apparently a lot of celebrities have been getting them, so that's what's up with that. And at number four, roses, flowers in general are just super popular. And then at number five, skeleton hands, don't ask me why. Okay. I will not, because I do not care. Okay, what else? Okay, so now that school is back in session, I have some proven best ways to get your kids up in the morning,

but maybe you're listening right now and you're like, I don't have kids. Maybe this stuff will help you get up in the morning as well. Air horn. Yes. Right by their head. Cold water. That's the cause your kids to be annoyed with you.

Yep. Nope. You're saying get them up. Yeah, but also not. Shake their bed. They'll get over it. Okay. What do you have?

These are like kind things. Having breakfast made and ready for them. Oh, I would like that. Yeah. And you can maybe prep your breakfast the night before. Have the TV on. Bring a pet in the room to help wake them up. maybe offer an incentive like an after-school treat or having their clothes laid out for them.

This is too positive of enforcement. Right. I don't know that all of them are going to work, but again, could work for yourself. Like the night before you go to bed, if you're an adult and you have work the next day, lay your clothes out for yourself. Make it easier on you in the morning. And then I just love this Laney Wilson story. She's so cute. She thought that her first standing ovation was actually the crowd leaving.

Which you may know, Lainees Wilson is in the top ten, or her song right now is in the top ten, things a man ought to know. And, you know, we've had her on the show. She's awesome, and I just thought it was so precious that she thought people standing up or people leaving. They're all leaving. She's like, well, it's over. That song did not connect. Yeah, I guess good show, good show.

I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. This is the definition of loving your neighbor for sure because this Colorado community stepped in to help this elderly woman that was getting kicked out of the place where she lived

because the landlord was selling the property. Therefore, she didn't have anywhere to go. She's 84, but she also takes care of her 61-year-old son who's disabled. So she definitely needed like wheelchair accessible, all these things. And when neighbors found out her situation, they started fundraising together. not only was she able to find a new apartment to live in that fit all of their needs, but because of all the donations that came in, her rent for the apartment is paid for for the entire year. And she said that she is just so grateful for everybody, and she plans to pay it forward herself.

Pretty cool. And I'm like, dang, look this 84-year-old woman out taking care of her son and people rallying around her. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Everybody got together to help her out there. I love it. That's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

For the record, I would like to say, I don't mind when airlines tape people to seats. If they deserve it, what else are you going to do with them? But United is saying, we're not going to duct tape passengers to seats. I want airlines to say, we're going to duct tape them faster. That's the commercial I want to see. Not want to get away. It's, hey, fill unsafe, and then someone pulls out the duct tape. That's the commercial I want.

Because if people are being idiots, they need to be treated like idiots. But I'm sure they have a plan for idiots. Duck tape them. That's the plan. Zip ties. Okay, what's a difference? Yeah, what is the difference? Zip tie them then duct tape.

You can't zip tie their mouth to make them shut up, Amy. Okay. I don't think you can duct tape their mouth. Oh, you can't. Duct tape hurts when you peel it off. That's on them. Don't be an idiot. You know what hurts?

Being an idiot. Okay. We've seen two recent high-profile incidents where passengers were duct tape to their seats. One on American Airlines, one on Frontier Airlines. Now United Airlines has sent a memo to flight attendants telling them not to use duct tape as a way of dealing with poor behaved passengers. Dang. I say use more duct tape. Here is the memo.

They say you should address situations calmly and de-escalate situations as much as possible. Okay. Sounds good. Sounds good on paper. There are designated items on board that could be used in difficult situations that can't be de-escalated. Yeah, like duct tape. Does it say like what? There's no parentheses.

They then say you should consult United Safety Manual to guide decision-making if a customer isn't behaving well. If someone's misbehaving. What do? grab the book. Sir, hold on. I know you're peeing on this lady, but let me get the pamphlet over here. I'm sorry to look at my manual.

To complete an incident, report when things go wrong with as many details as possible. They're really still not telling them what to do. I... It's in the manual. I say duct tape all the way. Want to get away safely?

And they pull out the duct tape. Duck tape right away. Maybe when people are boarding flight attendants just go ahead be holding the duct tape as a reminder. Yeah, like a dad when her daughter's dating a guy and he comes over, he's cleaning his gun. Yeah. Oh, yes.

You're stretching out duct tape. You want to mess up? Or you get someone, this is what you do too. Bring it. You get someone as a paid duct tapee who causes a little disturbance right as the flight goes up and they have to get duct tape to the chair, but they know it's coming. They're like, no! And it proves that they will duct tape you quickly, lead by example.

Okay. Not bad. Yeah. Maybe you get a discount on your flight? I wouldn't do anything. No, you work for the company. Oh. It's like a long thing.

fly it all the way across the country. You get an employee and you're like, okay, you're going to be the duct tapey. You raise a little stink. We'll duct tape you. It'll keep everybody else quiet and good. And so someone's like, ah, hey, flying. Wrap them up. You like that?

Then you look at everybody. Who else wants this? Oh, and then everyone's going to act. Everybody's like, oh, whoa. Not me. They keep their masks on. Yeah. They ask for drinks with one, two, or three, four fingers.

Yeah, like you're supposed to. Okay, let's go over and do the morning corny with Amy. The Morning Corny. What does a tick in the Eiffel Tower have in common? What does a tick and the Eiffel Tower have in common? They are both Paris Sites. Paris Sites. That's pretty good.

Yeah. That was the Morning Corny. Here's the voicemail we got last night. Morning studio. Just calling to let you all know. We went to the Garthbrook show in Lincoln, Nebraska. And oh my gosh. Best show I've ever been to in my entire life.

Garth performed for like three hours. Trisha came out. He brought on a U&L student who was a senior sound engineer and let him be a part of the crew for the night. It was his largest ticketed show ever. It was absolutely incredible. Garth is the goat. Yeah, I co-signed that.

It's a fantastic show. Here is Ali from Clarksville, Tennessee. I was just following up on Lunchbox's bit where he wrote letters to Carrie Underwood and The Rock. I don't think he ever heard back from them. And I was just listening to Wayne B. And he said that he wrote The Rock an email and he heard back from him and also got

both bottles of tequila in his house. So lunchbox, don't act like a little girl. And what she means about Little Girl is don't act like a little girl when you write the letters. Because he wrote the little letters as a young girls. No, to the Rock I wrote as a boy. Oh, you did? I wrote as a boy to the Rock and a girl to Carrie Underwood and Oprah.

And you're right. Wayne D. He got tequila. He got an autographed picture, like personalized saying, hey, great inspiration, blah, blah, blah. I got nothing. So maybe they don't check the mail anymore that email is the only way to go. But I figure seven-year-olds aren't going to be emailing people. Probably. I feel like they would.

I feel like they would too. Yeah. But the reason I know. So you haven't got a response from Carrie Underwood. Rock. Oprah. Nothing. I mean, it's been months.

I mean, it's been like four. or five months now and I've got nothing, nothing but crickets. So should you try emailing? And he just sent an email to The Rock? Yes, he said an email at The Rock.com. How do you find that? I don't know. He told me he came across an email and he just emailed and he said he didn't ask for anything autographed. He just said, hey, you've been a huge inspiration in my life. And then they sent him a happy birthday thing and then they sent him tequila.

They're friends now. I hear he's in the new Jumanji. They just cast him in that. Stop it. Stop it. Are you jealous? He's choking. Yes, I'm jealous. Because I do this and I get nothing. He sends a stupid email and he gets like showered with gifts.

Well, it's not a stupid email. He actually sent it because he meant it, I'm assuming. I meant a shower with gifts. He got a signed picture on like some alcohol. And 12 bottles of tequila from the rock. That is pretty cool, though. A lot of tequila. You get on an airplane, you're sitting on the window seat, you have control of the window.

Right? So you own the window for that aisle. And I think we're all pretty much in agreement there, right? Yes. Now, the question is, If that window is like half and half between, you know, in that seat. Sometimes it is. Yeah, because the windows aren't put in there based on where the seats sit.

This guy posted a TikTok. And he had most of the window, but the woman in front of him had some of the window. And so he would open it and she'd reach back and shut it. And he would open it and she would reach back and shut it. It did it three times. And so I guess where I fall on this is, whomever has the most window gets the window. gets the window. Yes.

It's a land grab. If you have 61% of the window, that's your window to go up or down. Now, where it gets tough is if it's pretty down the middle. Do you have thoughts on this? I mean, if it's down the middle, then I guess you have to have a conversation.

Like, hey, excuse me, could we compromise? Maybe half the flight up, half the flight down. I don't think there's a conversation with me. I think if I feel like I got the most window, I'm doing it. But if it's 50-50. Yeah, but I mean, what's 50-50?

It's half. I'm probably not even going to sit in the chair. I sit in the seat in the chair. same seat. If I get on a Southwest flight, I know exactly where I'm sitting. I sit in the seat that has like a full square with no window so I can lean my head and then a part window. I mean, I just thought of what I would really do. And actually, I'm not saying anything and I'm just going to do whatever they want. That's what you really do? Yeah, which is what I'm working on that in therapy. But that's ultimately what I would do, whatever they want. I would put the window

up or down however I liked it. And then if they did it back, I'll be like, well, what's, or I would just start like talking loudly to Caitlin said it beside me. Can you believe they're doing this? So they would hear me. Awkward. Yeah, that might have. I don't mind awkward, though. If someone cuts in line, I'll for sure call them out. Do you call them out and let everyone else know?

Oh, cut her. I'll do this. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We've been waiting in line. That happened at Zara. We were in line. That line is Zara in the mall is long. And somebody goes up, and they didn't just combine clothes.

Because we've done that before. Where I'm standing in line and Caitlin's like, I've also got this shirt. She puts it in my clothes and I buy it all together. They just got up beside their buddy. with a whole new set of clothes. And you said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Their buddy that, I mean, what have they got there together?

It doesn't matter. There's two sets of clothes. They rung up separately. And then how did that go? They were like, oh, sorry, my bad, and they went to the end of the line? Somebody else saw them too. I went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then they were like, oh, yeah, yeah, I was just talking to my friend.

And I was like, no, you weren't. I didn't say that, no, you weren't. But I knew what was, I don't like a line cutter. How about the second debate? When should stuff go up in stores for Christmas? I would say... Hold on the count of three. Say what month you think.

Yes. Okay, here we go. One, two, three. November. Okay, I say October. I say October. November. November.

These are scrooges over here. I feel like it needs to go up kind of before Thanksgiving so you can start to get ready because right when Thanksgiving goes down, Christmas can go up. The end of October bones is Halloween. Yeah, but that's 31st.

It's November 1st. I think in October it can go up. Okay. Yeah, we need to start. getting in the spirit. 73% of respondents agreed that it's annoying that holiday shopping season has gotten earlier. Now, I can agree with that because there are some decorations going up after Labor Day. Yes.

Which is September 4th or 5th. That's annoying. It doesn't hurt me personally. And I also understand being prepared because you do want to go Halloween, maybe a little Thanksgiving, and then Christmas. And right when Halloween goes down, sometimes you go right to Christmas. But I do agree that it gets a little Christmassy, a little quick. sometimes those all Christmas radio stations it's like May 3rd and they're like oh Christmas all the time

by the time Christmas comes around you're sick of it you are gonna yeah I don't ever get sick of it the final debate should you tip if you're picking up food you're just going to pick it up should you tip on the count of three say yes or no one two three no Amy and I say yes Eddie and lunchbox say no again Scrooge's no it's not about Scrooge's it's about they're not doing anything about putting it in a bag just like when you go through the drive-thru at

McDonald's they put it in a bag and you you pick it up. It's the same answer. To be fair, at a restaurant, that's not part of their duties to put it in a bag. You do have to prepare it, put it in a bag. That's like waiting-ish, a table. Yeah. It's not like a drive-thru where part of your job is literally doing that all day long. Most people tip delivery drivers, but what about food when you pick it up? Two-thirds of us do tip the person. I don't think it's the same. I don't think it's the same amount of money. It doesn't have to be 20 percent. But I think it can be a couple bucks because they are doing a little more than what their job duty was supposed to require, which is bagging up and getting food ready.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. They polled 8,000 people. Most of us do leave a tip. How much do you? The most popular answer was about 10%. I can sign up for that. I can sign up for that. I just remember me needing tips to survive.

And so I'm just going to tip when I can. If I can do it, I'm going to tip it because I know what it's like to have to need that money. But you don't tip Eddie to go? And I usually sign it and I leave before they get a chance to pick up the receipt. You sign a run? Because I just don't want to, you know. I've seen dirty looks before. You know, and it's like, it's a pickup order.

Like, you know, and I feel like they expected it. You can't do a couple bucks. Yeah, like $1 even. It adds up. I could do $1 for sure. I just don't. I just don't because I feel like it's just a pickup. Yeah, stay strong.

But it's still them doing work that they weren't really supposed to do. Yeah. That's what we all do every day. I know. But their job probably depends on tips. If they are a waiter or a busser who's doing that as well, they're not making full money hourly wage. I'll keep that in consideration next time. You know what?

I might try a dollar next time. Easy, buddy. Whoa, you're going to go broke. Well, he's got to ease into it, Bobby. And it will add up for the person. Just remember, if you can do. Because when you needed it and people could, they did. At least you hope they did.

We all were at that stage in our life when we needed it. They haven't yet. Maybe they will. Wow. It's getting deep. Eddie $2. That's all I'm asking. I'll try one, see where that goes.

Raymundo's the shortest guy on the show. Do you feel like you get paid less because of your height or throughout your life it's been a case? I never realized it was because of my height, but if that's not right, honestly. Researchers have used machine learning to study thousands of data points on people, and they find that taller men earn more money than shorter men. Well, if you see all the people in upper management, they're all tall. I mean, there's really not that many short dudes. I, hmm.

Do you feel like you get paid less because you're five, six? I don't know about paid less, but the important positions are usually given to taller people. All my bosses have been tall. Scuba Steve's taller than me. Maybe that's why he's the executive producer. I never thought about that. Yeah. Ray is the only person I offered to promote and said, no, thank you.

Though, to be honest. Why did you say no? I'm not great at multitasking, phone calls, emails. Scoob to Steve's a master at that. Yeah, years ago, way pre-Scoa Steve. I said, hey, man. do you want to like have more responsibility here make a little more money just move on up he goes hey ma'ra thank you but no all right so maybe it's not your height maybe it's just you

don't want to do it um but he straight up to my face said no and i respected that he's like i'm good thank you and that's like all right talk to you later dude all right see you later um eddie on the back of his jeep you wrote what uh long week need beer vener And Venmo is an app where you can just send money. Yes. I pay a lot of things on Venmo now. And this all started because of a bit we did last week where lots of people are riding on the back of their cars. Hey, we're on our honeymoon.

Venmo us a few bucks. And people are doing it. So you wrote just married, nobody Venmoed you. No, I just don't think they were buying that whole thing. You then changed it now. It's been a week. Did any one single person Venmo you money? Oh, yeah.

They did? Oh, yeah. How many? You're telling me people Venmoed you more about long week. I'm telling you. It was probably just a more believable thing. They see a 42-year-old dude in the Jeep. They get it.

And it's funny. How much did you... Wait, how many people ven-mowed you? One. Okay. And who was it? I don't know. I don't know this person.

How much did they ven-mow you? One dollar. Guys, I've gotten one crummy dollar from all of this. One dollar you didn't have to begin with. That doesn't even buy a beer. Nope. Eddie's kids are getting embarrassed by the bits that he's doing. They are guys.

This one, I guess, is kind of pushed them over the limit. They're just over, because on Thursday, I believe I'm going to have to pick them up at school. And they're like, no, no, no, dad, you cannot pick us up at school with that stuff written on your Jeep. And they're so embarrassed. They're tired of it. They're like, first it was the Santa, Dad. We had a stupid Big Santa in front of our house until March. But you made good money on that.

Yes. Yes. And then you walk from one state to three states, you know, like, when is this going to end, dad? It doesn't end. And I'm like, son, this is part of my job. Is just what I do? Is it your oldest son? He's the leader, and then everyone kind of stands behind him going, yeah, yeah, dad is crazy.

Are you embarrassed? No, come on, I don't get embarrassed. I rarely get offended, and I never get embarrassed. That's just the way to go through life. That's just the way I've always been. Oh, and one thing I forgot, too, the pin and nail, the fingernails, they didn't like that either. But that was you wanted to pay the nails. I understand, but they hated that.

Okay, but you got $1. Yes. Taking us all to lunch today? Let's go.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Hey home, it's something good.

Raymond Butler is a 12-year-old kid in Ohio. He's riding his bike home from football practice when he sees Gary Burns, who has an amputee. He has his leg cut off from low. the knee in his wheelchair trying to mow the lawn. So the 12-year-old pulls over and says, Hey, let me go ahead and mow that lawn for you. And he mows it. And now he goes by every once in a while does yard work

and they go fishing twice a week. Oh, wow, the friends. Yeah. And so then the old man, he posts on Facebook and made a go-fund to me and raised thousands of dollars for his back-to-school clothes. Dang. That's awesome.

I saw, speaking of yard work, I saw this guy who had like some small tractor from the backyard, but he didn't have clippers to clip his hedges. So he took his lawnmower and he tied it to his little tractor and he turned the lawnmower on and the tractor like lifted the lawnmower in the air and he drove it on top of the hedges. Whoa.

And with like hedge trim with his lawnmower, it was the... This seems like a lot of work. It looked like something Arkansas Keith would have made back in the day. Because he basically rigged this push lawnmower. He turned it on, lifted it up and then would drive it on top.

of the hedges to trim them. Okay, there you go. Hey, great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right. News in a second. We'll also get to Eddie and Lunchbox trying to eat 10 crackers in 60 seconds with no water. Correct. You will win $100 if you can pull it off. Yes. But if you lose, you owe me 20. Right. That's how betting works. Five to one odds. I kind of want to bet that they're not going to come to do it. Why don't you just jump in, Amy? Yeah, why would you not want to $100? Because I don't think it's possible to eat 10s all teens, but I mean, good luck. That's coming up in a second.

Let's go to the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. People that try to hire random people to kill somebody, like a hitman, it blows my mind. I would always think it was like a cop. Like, you'll do it? Are you sure you're not a cop? Right.

And do they have to answer that honestly? Like, can they cross their face? No crosses count? Yeah, and I just don't know how they go across even. I'm finding the person. Well, I'm glad you asked. Jennifer Emmy 43 was sentenced to 10 years in prison minus time served because what happened was she had a murder for hire plot offering a ranch hand $100,000 to kill her estranged

husband's girlfriend. That's a lot of money, right? Yes, it's a lot of money and it's just offering a ranch hand. It's not even somebody who like specializes in the killing of folks. But then how do you find somebody who specializes? in the killing of folks. She's an animal rights attorney from Colorado. She pleased to seven felonies and four misdemeanors.

She had been locked in a divorce battle when she offered a 28-year-old ranchant Timothy Lindsay $100,000 to carry out the killing. So he had to go tell somebody, right? And why do you go to him? Does he have a shady vibe about him? Maybe he's good with a machete. Maybe he's just close to you and you trust him.

Yeah, I mean, and if he's running a ranch, he has access to things and land and burying somebody. Wow. You're in dark there. Yeah, you're a little darker there than I was. But a ranch hand, I don't know, is running a ranch. Oh, I think so. That's what a rancher was.

A hand could be anybody that's working on the ranch. Oh, I thought that they ran it. Okay, so here's my thing, though. She's an animal rights lawyer. I find that it's funny because she's not a human rights lawyer. I know. She's trying to kill a human. I'm not an animal.

Yeah, she's trying to kill a cow on me. Like, yeah, she's the hypocrite. Right. And $100,000. Like, you almost have to go that high to hope they don't tattel on you. That's a lot. of money. And why kill the husband's girlfriend? The husband's the

cheater. She's the innocent bystander here. Like, I don't know what happened, but she's mad. She's divorcing the husband. That's where you should keep your anger. Yeah, I don't know. There you go. There's that. Next up, the stress of COVID-19 last year has been

seen in many different areas with many different Americans, but it shows that moms drank 323% more after the pandemic. Amy, your thoughts. Yeah, I mean, I could see where if moms were taking on a lot of the load at home for school and still keeping everything together and maybe even doing their, if they have another job at home, I could see that. I had to watch myself. Like in the beginning, it was easy to relax with wine.

But then I got, I was like, okay, this is too much. I have to stop. 323% more. Yeah. Wow. That's a lot more. I get it. I mean, yeah. Eddie, go ahead.

Oh, sure. I get it. You know, like if they did a poll on dads, I'm sure. Yeah. Especially when you're working from homebones, like, you know, homes. Like, you know, home associates with resting and at the end of the day. So you always have that bottle of wine or that vodka in the cupboard and there you go. You're like, it's 3 o'clock.

What's the difference? Three o'clock. Well, I heard it just gets earlier and earlier. Tim Tebow was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars yesterday. Oh, no. Why? He was trying to be a tied-in, but mostly they cut him because he couldn't play on special teams. Oh, that's so sad.

You need to be, if you're not a starter, you need to have multiple roles on a team. and he thanked the Jaguars, and that was it. His jersey was the number one seller for a while, though. And as they say, tough titty. Now you have a Tim Tebow jersey where he just played in... Well, here's the deal. We found out in our podcast that you can actually return it. There's no jersey assurance for this.

We called someone, and they said, bring it back. Turn it? Well, if you buy it through Fanatics, it has jersey assurance, but not with them. Oh, through the biggest retailer. Interesting, okay. And NFL.com says also no jersey assurance. Oh, then that's tough. How long did he play for them?

Oh, just a preseason. Oh, so that's why. I was like, why wouldn't you want to keep the jersey as, like, memory of when he was? What jersey assurance doesn't cover is if your player gets cut by the team. Oh. Oh, gosh. Well, Amy, he was only there for, like, just a few weeks, too. Well, a little longer.

Longer, but play. Yes, yeah. So Tim Tebow is out. Although I love the guy. I've been able to spend some time with him. You know, not just here, but in other places. Just wonderful guy. He can come play tight-in on our, we'll create a team, a wreck team for him to play on.

I ran into him a couple weeks ago, and he's genuinely. like the nicest guy in the world always. Then he should be on the NFL roster. I know. Nice guy should all make it. It's so true. All right, that's the news. Thank you.

Those were Bobby's Big. Stories. All right, let's do this. We'll go individually. You guys have bet $20 that you can eat 10 crackers in 60 seconds. No water. Who wants to go first? Whatever.

All right, lunchbox will go first. Yeah, give me $100. Here we go. He's got 10 crackers. The timer starts in five, four. Why are you breaking them up already? Well, if you're counting down. Three, two, one, go.

Is that how? Okay, why would you not just throw him in your mouth? He's got a strategy here. He's breaking one cracker into like six pieces. That's okay. Those hot dog guys dip in water and we're like, what are you doing? What's the time again? 60 seconds.

Okay, he hasn't even finished one cracker. And a lot of us getting on a shirt too. What are you doing? He's losing half a cracker on his shirt. He's focused, guys. Did you Google this method? Because I don't understand it. How many crackers down is he?

Not even one. This strategy is not going to pay off. Is he? I'm swallowing him whole. But you're not. I am. Okay. One down.

20 seconds left. Well, that's it. What are you doing? Is it? Oh, my gosh. Oh. He dies. What is happening?

Five seconds. All right. You might do it. No. How's you do? One and a half. Really? No.

I feel like he didn't try. Why did he break it into tight pieces? I don't know. I thought it was a terrible decision from the beginning too. Tad pieces trying to throw it down his throat. My strategy was like a take it like a pill. You break it off and throw it and just swallow it. Huh. That was.

That didn't. At one point did you realize that wasn't working? When the timer ran. You still felt like you had a chance with like 10 seconds left and 9 crackers to go? Yeah, I mean, dang. Eddie, can you meet a 1.5 crackers? Yeah. All right, 60 seconds.

Absolutely. Let's go. Let's go. 20 bucks. I'll take that Venmo. Here we go. Eddie, here we go. In three.

Two, one, go. One cracker in for Eddie. Two crackers now. And he even swallowed any of it. In his mouth for Eddie. 10 seconds. It's gone. Just chewing on that second cracker.

It's getting a little dry, it looks like. I don't know how to swallow this. Mm-hmm. Two down. Going for his third cracker. Mm-hmm. Plenty of time on the clock here. Yeah, we're now 35 seconds left.

I really don't know how to swallow these. Use that muscle on your throat. All right, I went down. Three crackers down. All right, put in the back of my mouth, swallow it. Swallow the whole cracker like a pill. Good strategy. Yeah.

Four crackers down. I'm not getting stuck in my throat. stuck my throat. You were on six. That was on number six, guys. You were on number six. You didn't win. I feel like with a little practice,

I can do it a lot better. You won't do 10, but you got five down. I think that deserves applause. Thank you. Should they have dipped the crackers in water? You can't use water. Yes, he said no water.

I forgot. Sorry, I started thinking water when he was like, should we have given them 10 minutes? Well, no, the point is. No water in one minute. Sorry, I forgot. I didn't remember all the rules.

You guys failed miserably, but hey, We had fun doing it, right? It was fun, yes. And 20 bucks from each of you over here. Correct. Here it comes. At some point.

I don't, okay, at some point. I don't see you. Hey, what we're going to do? Let me say something real quick. We have a lot of our staff gone. Hillary's going to be gone for a while. Morgan number two is gone for a while. Abby, our phone screener's not here.

We're kind of working, as they call, on a skeleton crew. So the next couple segments, and this was suggested to me by Mike D. We're going to put on one segment, Eddie on the phones. Oh, my. And now in the other segment, Lunchbox on the phones, and we're going to see who does a better job. Okay. Being a phone screener. Okay, so when I go to the phones, is Lunchbox going to do video?

No. I mean, that would be fair, right? Scoo Steve can come in a new video. Okay, all right, yeah, yeah. So what we're going to do, we have two topics we're going to do. And we'll put Lunchbox out on the phones first, and you can start calling now. But the bit is going to be, what's the craziest thing you've ever seen while driving? You're just driving down the road.

What's the craziest thing you've ever seen? Like I saw an 18-wheeler driver reading a book Wow, that's great Would you put that call through lunchbox? No. Oh, you wouldn't have? I mean, everybody's seen someone read. An 18-wheeler, though, like a big rig reading a book.

Oh, that does make a difference. Yeah, like on the highway. The guy's going full war and peace driving an 18-wheeler. If Amy called in, I would not put her through because he knew she's going to ramble, so I have to cut her off. Well, you need to get on the phones? Oh, 777 Bobby. Lunchbox will be the phone screener.

We're going to see how he does as a phone screener and do his segment. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to keep eating crackers, too. All right. Lunchbox is answering the phones right now. Lunchbox, how's it going in there? How's it going?

I mean, people call it the stupidest things ever. I saw someone with their foot out the window. Wow, that's not crazy. Or I saw someone that was biting their fingernails. That's not crazy, people. What are you telling the callers then right now? Tell them, oh, that's great. Put it on Facebook.

No, no. I'm saying, what are you telling them? What are you telling them right now if they're calling in? Oh, I say, what up? It's Lushbach. What's the craziest thing you've seen when driving? And then they start going into, I was in Central Ohio and I was like, I don't care where you were. Just tell me what you saw. Oh, boy. What are you asking?

I'm not asking you the question right. So let me rephrase the question. What's he saying? You're talking to the callers right now. You on the microphone, what are you telling them right now if they're about to call you? What are you looking for? No, I'm looking for great stories. That's what I'm saying.

I don't need people biting their fingernails. I'm looking for the craziest thing you saw when driving. Biting someone biting fingernails is not crazy Okay, so back to the phones Yeah Lunchboxes I got some people on hold with some good stories Which one's the best?

Probably the Anita And I don't know if I can put that on the air You can't put that on the air? Is it dirty? Oh gosh How did she? No no

No, no But I mean that's it That's like obscene Yeah we can do that Is she gonna Like she said I mean I can put her on But if she says something obscene

Then we have to get off the air for life She told me, even on the phone call, she goes, he was doing something I can't say. Okay. Okay. Now he know. Do I put on Anita? Yes or no? I don't know.

Lunchbox is up to you, buddy. You're the call screener. Anita dropped off anyway. You hung up on her. Scoopal hung up on Anita. That was a great call. Here's what she said. Some guy didn't have his pants on and he was la, la, la, la.

And lunchbox put it on my screen like I was to take that call. Can't do that. Is that crazy or not crazy? It's crazy, but it's porn. That's what you asked for, crazy things. It's better than biting fingernails. I mean, you can talk to the guy about... My mind is blown right now by Anita's call.

What about the two horses? Okay, is that what you want? The what? Horses. Two horses are hooking up. Hold on. Here is Chris. Lunchbox, where's Chris from?

You're not putting up where they're from. Yeah, they were not... You had to care with her from. You didn't care. I didn't care. I don't care. Okay, I'll tell you what. Matt's from Florida.

Chris is from Ohio. Okay. Chris, are you from Ohio? No, I'm from North Carolina. Okay. Good job, lunch. All right. Okay, Chris, in North Carolina, what's the craziest thing you saw driving?

Yeah, I was going up to Ohio one time for my family reunion and right outside Walmart, there's two horses getting it on. What? But they weren't driving. Hey, they weren't buying their fingernails. No, they weren't. Yeah. I thought maybe they were in a, like, he was on the highway and they were in a trailer. No, but you can just see it driving.

I mean, if you're driving and you see something, he saw two horses getting it on. Wow. Okay. Hey, appreciate that. Chris, thanks for the call. Yes, sir. All right. Have a great day.

What's the next one I should go to? He's not putting him in order and he's putting no town. I don't know, like, what to do here. If you're just turning the show on, Lunchbox is screening calls because we've lost half our staff, so we're trying to figure it out. Lunchbox, what's a good next caller? Next good caller, lunch. Which one's your next one?

What's your next good one? He's on the phone. I don't hear him talking to a caller. Or me. What's your name? What's your name? I think he's got a good one, boss. Hey, where are you from?

I'd say maybe Matt's pretty good. Where? Hold on. Let's listen to lunch. All right, Renee. Go to Renee. Renee on three. Renhavene on three from Manhattan, Kansas.

Let's go. Okay. It sounds like he's running in the back of the kitchen, calling through an owner. Okay. Now, is you ready, Ray? Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Okay. I don't know what she said. I just put her on hold. You don't know what she said? Someone crashing something. Okay. Renee on line 3 in Manhattan, Kansas. How are you? I'm good.

How are you? Very good. Thank you for calling. What's the craziest thing you've seen while driving? Okay. So I was on I-95 in North Carolina, and a car went to exit off the interstate and ran right-sode into a gas pump and it exploded. But that's just not the craziest part, though. It gets crazier.

Okay. So then I guess there must have been so much people so distracted by that. Another semi hit the bridge that was a car hauler and then a car fell on top of another car. So it was the most chaotic scene I have ever seen in my life. What did you do? Well, I worked in law enforcement, so I just immediately started trying to shut the area down and called 911, told them what I needed. We ended up having to bring in multiple helicopters shutting down.

the interstate on both sides, and they ended up having to have multiple fire departments from different counties to respond. It was absolutely insane. To watch a truck crash into a gas pump and to be an explosion, that would be just absurd. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I would expect the rock to come running out of it and dive away from it. All right, thank you for the call.

I appreciate that. Yeah, thanks. And good for you. Go to Sarah. Sarah's best. Sarah's best. best. Where's Sarah from? Louisiana, I put it on there. You put L.A.

I thought it was Los Angeles. Do you know what Louisiana's initials are? L.A. Yeah, that is true. Eat that. Probably spelling out Louisiana's a little bit. I don't know how to spell Louisiana. Mostly people put the town they're from. That's why I thought it was L. Yeah, I couldn't understand the town she was from. She has a thick accent.

Okay. Okay. Hey, I'm from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, but I live in Slidell, Louisiana. Okay. Okay. Sladell. Okay. Thank you for calling, Sarah. What would you like to say? The craziest thing you've ever seen? I've seen a really fast moped going down the interstate like 80 miles an hour with their laptop open on their lap doing work. No way! How is that possible?

I don't know, but I got a picture somewhere on Facebook. I'll tag y'all in it. That's hilarious, but more dangerous than hilarious. Yeah. Like as much as I want to laugh, I want to be more scared for everybody too. All right, hey, thank you, Sarah. How did you feel lunchbox was as a call screener when you called? I love lunchbox. I love y'all so much. much. Well, thank you very much. Thank you for calling. Have a great day. You too.

All right, bye-bye. All right, lunchbox, who's next? Who's next? I mean, any of them are good. Matt's fine. I mean, this is how people don't pay attention. Somebody just called to tell me that she was having a baby at the same time as her sister who was in Japan. That has nothing to it driving. Like, she was like, that's the craziest thing that's ever happened to us. And I'm like, that's not what we're doing. She misunderstood from, you know.

Yeah, maybe she just didn't know. Maybe she heard her on. Well, I'm sorry. Pay attention. What did you do with that call? I said, that's great. When we talk about babies, call back. It's not bad. Put it on Facebook. I got room for one more lunchbox. Which one do you want? Hey, buy them on show. What's the crazy thing you were saw?

Who you want? Let's listen. Oh, here we go. What's your name? Cassie. Hold on one second. I'll put you on. Hey, go to Cassie on three. Cassie on three. Where's she from? She's from Oklahoma. Did you make that up? Yep.

Oh, my gosh. Let's just ask her. I'm from Ohio. Okay. Close. It was close. All I know is I got Ray snapping at me and I hear. Hey, that's a life of phone screener.

No, no. I don't know how to number them, but I don't even know what she said. Something about driving. I'll ask her. Yeah. Cassie. Hi. Hey, so what's the craziest thing you've seen while driving?

This is Bobby. Morning studio. Morning. It is Bobby. I was driving down the freeway and some lady was knitting why she was driving. Okay. Yeah. I wonder what she was knitting. What was she knitting, do you think? I don't know. Maybe a scarf or a blanket.

Sweater. Like, was she on a deadline or like, I thought knitting. Probably. It was on Sunday, so she was probably going to an archer craft store. Or maybe the church. Hey, thank you for the call. I hope you have a great day. Thank you. You too. You can check out Matt. I mean, he's got a good one. We're about at a time.

Well, I mean, whatever. You don't want good calls. You don't want good calls. Hey, how do you feel about phone screening? Do you feel like it's harder than you No, I dominated it. I mean, I was so good. I'm not a good typeer, so it's harder for me to type. That's the only problem. And how do we give lunchbox? What grade do we give them for this? I mean, did you hear the calls? I mean, you had an explosion,

shut down the highway, helicopter. I mean, get out of here. That's bomb. I mean, the horses outside of Walmart was pretty good. Well, he tried to give me somebody pleasuring themselves. It's the first call. That was not good. Is it crazy? Have you ever seen that driving? No.

Exactly. Exactly. That's why we get calls. I mean. You want good calls? You want boring calls. How do we grade him? Like a teacher's scale? Yeah. Okay.

Oh, A plus. I mean, how good were those callers? There was no boring. There was no speaker phone. There was no listen to the radio. There was nothing. It was all home run. I say 89.

B plus. It's good. He passed. C plus. Yeah, I give you a solid B. I thought you did a good job. Yeah. Thank you.

That's what I do. I mean, that's better than why I was a student. I was a C student. Okay, so we're going to move on from this segment. Yeah, that's fine. So you. What's cool? and I.

Okay. So you're off the phone. Hey, the phones are still ringing. You want me getting another one? Watch this. Okay. Watch this. Here, let's listen.

Yo, what's up? It's lunchbox. Bye, Bum Show. What do you need? We got craziest thing you're all driving. I can barely hear you. You're on speaker. I got to go.

I don't have time. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a good reminder. If you are calling into the show, don't have your phone on. I don't have time for that. He's like, can you hear me?

Well, if you have to ask if I can hear you, you know you're not on a good connection. Yeah. like that's a waste of my time okay so he's gonna be done no more calls on this because the bit is since we don't have half our staff Eddie's now gonna go answer the phone

but it's a different topic altogether so no more calls on the craziest thing you saw while driving down the road we're gonna give him time because I feel like when I sit down no no no no no that's not how it works Eddie no I just feel like I'm gonna some of those calls are gonna bleed into my time that is true you gotta go

hey we'll move down from that topic okay but you'll get to go in during the break because lunchbox went in during the break last time. The next topic is going to be for anyone who waited tables, what's the craziest tip you got? Or did a celebrity come and give you a big tip? 877-Bobby. Let's go.

Okay, so we'll come back to you in a second. Which one should I take first? I like Lily from Kansas, number four. Okay, I'll go over to her. Lily and Kansas, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. Tell me about a tip you guys. Hey, hey, studio. How are you?

We're pretty good. Good. So I was working on a small burger joint in Kansas in high school, and we ran out of change, so I went over to the bank next door and got changed. Well, on my way out, I found, like, a thousand bucks laying on the ground, like out of the bank thing. And so I picked it up and I'm debated on, I'm like, what do I do?

My gosh, anybody else would have kept it? So I took it back to my boss and I said, hey, I found this on the ground by the bank. I think I'm going to go take it back. And she goes, yeah, I think that's a good idea. That's great, Lily. That's awesome. And so I took it back to the bank. The people came and picked it up.

And she started bawling her eyes out. She said, these are for my kids of school clothes and shoes and stuff. She said, but nobody else would have done that so you can go ahead and keep the money. And I just started crying. Oh, she just gave you the money. Were you working at a restaurant when that happened?

Was that the, what that is? No, she found it outside of bank. No, no, no, I know. Wait, so we're, I'm confused on this. Me too. Because I think that's a fantastic. I worked at a little burger joint. Okay.

We ran out at like 20s. Right, right, right. So I ran over to the bank next year. door and I was coming out and there it was laying on the ground and I'm like oh my gosh like anybody else would have taken this money just seeing it laying on the ground like there was like a thousand bucks there wildly amazing story and I think for the story itself I give it a plus and good for you and you got to keep the money that's crazy as for your phone screener I don't know that was good Eddie it's not the theme but it wasn't the theme she started with a burger

joint and then my attention span kind of went away so I thought it was all the rest of Hey, Bones, Kara is really good from Massachusetts. Okay, hey, um... She's got a story about her dog. And no disrespect, because that was a great story. Yeah, yeah. But Eddie just stopped listening, apparently. Yeah.

Okay, who do I go to, Kara in Mass? Yes. Okay, I'm gonna go over to Kara. Kara, you live in Mansfield, Massachusetts. So the question is, the biggest tip you ever received. Go ahead. Hi. Good morning, studio.

Morning. Morning. Yeah, I live in Mansfield, Massachusetts, and I work at Patriot Place. So there was a Saturday game right before Christmas a couple years ago. And so Patriot games, we stay open so late. So I'm there. It's the end of the day. And I have this really nice couple at my table.

And they're like, sit down. Like, you look tired. It's like midnight. So I sit down and they're asking me questions about myself, and I'm like, oh, you know, I'm really excited. I'm getting my kids these bikes for Christmas tomorrow. And, you know, my semester for school just ended. I'm a single mom. I actually just graduated now in May of 2021 with my elementary education degree.

But this was like two years ago. They offered to pay for the rest of my education. Because this couple raised their kids on their own separately. They wound up dating later on in life after raising their kids independently, and they sponsor single moms to get their education to better their lives for their children. So this couple not only emptied out their wallet that night for me, I wound up making over $400 off of them. Wow.

They also paid for my schooling, my books and everything. Wow, who's clapping? That's me. Eddie. I'm so proud of Kara right now. Eddie, here's the problem. Hey, that's a, well, hold on. Hold on. That is a great story, Kara. So, thank you for calling and sharing that with us. Thank you. I hope you have an awesome day. Congratulations. That's a big, big deal. You went back to school, got your degree while being a mom. Fantastic. Love it. All right. Have a good day. Lunchbox is itching to say stuff.

So nice of that couple. Yes, that's a great story. Go ahead. Eddie's stories are way too long, man. Like, we're not. getting any call. They got to get to the point. He has to tell them to get to the point. I thought she did great. Yeah. We needed some of that background to understand what was happening. The bicycles? Did we need to know about the bicycles? No. I enjoyed it. Yeah. It's just hating, man. I'm just telling the truth. Everybody's face says it. Hey, Bones, let's move on. Ashley from Oklahoma, number four, is great. Okay. Ashley in Oklahoma, have you ever been, you ever waited on a celebrity? Yes, I have. Who is that? Blake Shelton. How'd that go?

Well, actually, it's not that great of a story, but... Okay, hold on. Let's hear her out. Go ahead. When I was in high school, I worked at on the border, and Blake Shelling came in with a party of probably six or seven, and they probably spent about $200, left me about $20. Ooh.

That is a good story. That's just a bad tip. Like, what year was this? Probably 2007. Still 10%. When, yeah, I don't know, when did he start. He wasn't broke in 2007. Yeah.

I don't know when he like really, you know. Mike, Amy's, but even, you don't go to on the border. I don't care if you're Blake Shelton or not and leave a 10% tip. Yeah, that's not right. Maybe he didn't pay. Did he pay, Ashley? He paid because everybody asked me if I, I was going to keep the receipt with his name on it, and I said no.

Okay, maybe he's bad at math. You know? Like, he was like, oh, 220 sounds, right? 2001, Austin came out. Okay, yeah. All red in 2002, some beach in 2004. Right, okay, fine. He has a lot.

I know, but it just doesn't sound like Blake. Was the story good? Yeah, it's a good story. Okay, good. All right. I was worried about that. Okay. I mean, especially when she goes, it's not a good story.

What she meant is it's not a positive Sorry It's not like a Thank you for that call Ashley You're welcome Eddie I got time for one more Which one is really the one You're going

This is my home run Take Cade from Kansas This is good Cade and Kansas You're on the Bobby Bone show Go ahead Hey morning Good morning

Morning smoking cigarettes in it. And in Kansas, you're not allowed to smoke inside. So I was like, Mr. Chappelle, I'm going to have to have you put that out, please. And he was all so cool about it. And he's like, I got my own cup. Can we just use this? This cup this whole night?

And he was just a fun time. I didn't hear a lot of that, some kind of phone signal thing. But did he tip you? Yes. Yeah, he took, I think it was like $300 on like a $20 cap. Oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, I couldn't understand. Did he stop smoking when you asked him to? Yeah, he went outside. Oh, yeah. Oh, I thought. Dave Chappelle's a cool dude, and he tipped 300 bucks on a $20 tab. Yeah, it's just, we didn't get that from the caller right away. No, he did say it.

I think they just cut out. Yeah, guys, technology. It's not my problem. No, that is. That's phone screener. You got to hear that. Okay, thank you for the call. That's a great story.

That's awesome. Hey, thanks, Bobby. All right. Eddie, that's it, unless you have one that's so good. We need to run over time, and I get in trouble for it. I don't think so, no. No. Okay. You want to keep answering some? I could. I like this job. But I'm very chill. Different approach.

I kind of talk to him a little bit. But, you know, maybe I should stop doing that and tell him to shorten the stories a little bit. Ramunda, who do you think was better at answer the phones? Oh, Lunchbox. He was more efficient and they got to the point. Eddie, they were telling these book novels. We didn't have time for it. So do we crown lunchbox is the best JV phone screener? Yeah? I'm saying yeah.

Yeah? Okay, there is. Lunchbox. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There he is. My best JV. Phoastrian. Hey. Hello?

And so you get a prize for the next week. No, I'm not getting here. I ain't got time for that. Hey, champ, come on. I ain't got time for that. All right. There you go. Thank you guys.

Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day. This story comes us from Australia. Some thieves broke into a store and stole some rare Digimon cards, which are like Pokemon cards. It's like a rip-off version. And they waited a couple hours. Then they returned to the same store and tried to sell them back to them. Oh, just a couple of hours.

And they tried to sell them back in packs, or do they come in? Do we know if they opened them up? I was like, I give you this Digi Man deluxe here. They broke into the gaming shop and then they stole them. And later that day tried to sell the same trading cards they just stole it. It doesn't say if they were opened or not. Rule number one about stealing and returning. You have to take it back to a different place. Yeah, you can go back.

Or you wait a month. Or you send somebody else back. Oh, next level. No, you're still going to the same shop. They know they're stolen. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean, they probably don't have them marked. Sorry, I'm not a thief.

You know, I'm sure they don't have everyone have them marked. I mean, you could probably get away with that. Yeah. The big thing when we were a kid was you could go and get a game like a Nintendo game and play it for a week and then take it back and they would just trade you out for another one. Ooh. Didn't know that trick. And so that, well, my friends would do it.

We couldn't afford a Nintendo game. But they would go and buy double dribble, and then they would play it for a week and then take it back and they always had new games because they were taking it back to Walmart and get it. And then eventually Walmart shut that down.

Yeah, they're like, wait, something's up here. All right, is that at lunchbox? I'm lunchbox, that's your bonehead story of the day. I don't know the year anything happened in my life. I don't know the month anything happened pretty much. I'm terrible. I remember it dates. Just not good.

So they made a game. This is Notable Moments game. Can I name? years from my life where things happened. Right, Ray? Yep. So you're going to read me an event and have to name the year. Go ahead. Number one.

You want an example or just go right with it? Go right to it. Bobby graduated from Henderson State and moved to Little Rock. His first full-time radio contract paid him $17,000. What year? Well, it had to be 2002 because I know high school ended in 1998. It had to be 02. O2.

Yeah. So that one I did okay with because of high school. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, next up. In February of this year, we're talking about Bobby Bones and his crew moved to Nashville and made the switch from top 40 to country. I know this one too because it's on a frame picture in my office. It's 2013. Correct.

So I do know some of this stuff from just seeing it. Big moments. That was weird. Crazy too. We used to get in so much trouble for putting country artists on our pop show. And then we would come here and get trouble for putting pop artists on our country show. We can never win. We can never win.

All right, what else? Bones and co-host Amy Eddy and Lunchbox won the Academy of Country Music's National On-air Personality of the Year award for the first time. Name the year. I'm going to say we won it in 2014 after being here a year. One year. Okay. Wow. I'm doing reasoning here more than remembering, though.

2014. We were here one year. Which is crazy. We won the award. Yeah. Okay. Next. Bobby made headlines when he filed a trademark application for the phrase, make America great again.

I owned it for a long time. Got me in a lot of trouble. Okay, we're in 2021 now. So 2020. Four more years. 2016. I'm going to say 2015. Got it.

Wow. One year before the election. I remember Donald Trump wasn't even the frontrunner on the Republican side. And I filed that trademark and owned it. Then I started to be threatened and like I was going to get jumped in a parking lot. It was a bad, bad few months for me. All right, what else? We got six more.

Keep going. The Raging Idiot's debut album, The Critics Give It Five Stars, was released. Featuring their song Every Day is a Good Day. What year was this? No idea. 2016. Oh. I just guessed it, yeah.

Wow, good job. Actually, I'm much better than this than I thought. Don't play Kaelin this bit because I can remember crap. What else? Bobby was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame, and the Bobby Bone Show won the CMA for National Personality of the year for the first time. 17. Oh, wow.

You're nailing it. I have a big picture. It says youngest member in the National Radio Hall of Fame. See you. Yeah. Go ahead. Bobby Bone signed a contract

with IHeart Media to continue his radio shows and he was promoted to VP and creative director of IHeart Country. No idea. I've done that a couple times, I guess. I don't know.

Tomorrow. I feel like this one was a big deal, though. Man, I forgot you were our vice president. In name only. Mr. Vice President? What do I do? Sometimes I like, And I'll be like, guys, I'm a VP here.

Let me have some say. Most times I don't care about anything. 18. Okay, give me one more. Bobby Bones and pro Sharnaburgis won, were crowned the winners of the season 17 of Dancing with the Stars. That has to be 18. Big year, wow.

What, 18? I mean, you became VP. You won Dancing with Stars. Same year. Big year, dude. Dancing with Stars thing was a trip. The farther I get from with the crazier, that whole little episode.

of my life seems. Okay. That's kind of fun. Do you learn anything there? I mean, I was playing along in my head, and I missed two. Did you learn anything? No. Yeah, me either, really. So in real life, do most couples, when they meet, in your opinion, meet and start dating? Is it like romantic from the start, or do they become friends for a long time before they date? Most couples? Around the room, were you friends with your person before you started dating?

because Caitlin and I were not friends. We saw each other, started dating, obviously became friends, but we were not like buddies and then became lovers. Yeah, I would say most people do that. What did you do? I mean, I've known my husband since I was nine years old. But, I mean, we were family friends. But I would say once we were old enough to actually date, it was dating first.

Yeah, because you guys went years and years without seeing each other. Yeah, well, he's more so friends with my sister. But, yeah, I mean, I knew about him. but to your point, we were romantic first. Eddie? Yeah, I had to make friends with all of my girlfriends when I was young first before they took me serious. But my wife, my wife and I, it was love at first sight. Two-thirds of couples say they start platonically, like as buds.

I just can't believe that. But didn't you do, why did you never do that with your girlfriends early on? No, why would I? If I found somebody I wanted a date, I didn't want to be buddy-buddy. Yeah, he was like whining, dine, well, not maybe not the whining. Well, I wouldn't even keep going with that either. What do you mean? You don't know the end of whining and dining?

Oh, no. Okay, I'll tell you after we finish the show. When you grow up. Okay. You get older. I just thought that was weird. Two-thirds of romantic couple started out as buddies. Nobody in this room was buddy-buddy with her people.

All right, we're done. Thank you for hanging out with us. We will be back tomorrow. Hopefully. Hopefully. We're allowed to. Oh, boy. You just never know.
