Sunday is a company trying to make that part easier. They start with a soil test and climate data to build a yard plan tailor to where you live, then ship everything directly to your door. no guesswork, no dragging bags of fertilizer. And instead of harsh chemicals, Sunday uses simple nutrient dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses, and iron.

Everything hooks up to a hose, which honestly sounds like my speed. If your yard feels more stressful than satisfying, Sunday's approach makes a lot of sense.

Join us March 27 on the Celebrity Summit departing from Tampa, stopping in Bimini, Key West, and Cozumel. Go to Topshelfcountrycruise.com to book your cabin. Topshelfcountrycruise.com. Hey, welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning studio. Morning. Let's go over and talk to Ava, who is calling us from Virginia. Ava, what's going on?

I called you this morning, and I heard a beeping noise, and so I hung up because I thought I had called the wrong number. And so my mom turned to me, and she said, that's the busy line. That means the line's busy. That's a busy signal. Have you never heard a busy signal before, Ava? I have never heard a busy signal before And I was like, wait, what is that? And she's like, that's a busy signal, Ava

And then she was like, oh my gosh, hiring marks is on And I was like, what is good noise? It was so funny How old are you, Ava? I'm 16, I've been listening to you guys Since I was in like first or second grade When we would drive on my way to school It's wild though that you have never heard a busy signal

And you thought that you just called the wrong number Or a fax machine I guess you didn't know what a fax machine is. You know how sometimes you call a fax machine by accent? It goes, eh, plumb turn. Yeah. The other day on the show, I mentioned a screensaver. And I was lit up by the young ins.

Like, hey, time marches on, bra. We don't have screensavers anymore. I met my lock screen. Well, what is it? Oh, that's what we call it? Yeah. Well, that is what we call, yes. I say screen saver.

Eva, thank you for the call. Thank you for making us feel old. That's crazy that you've never heard a busy signal. Thank you so much. I love you guys. All right. Thank you. Have a great morning.

There's another TikTok time traveler, by the way, just to give you a little juice for your morning. On March 15th, 2020, this person who's from our future says that on this date, a volcano erupts and creates an ash cloud that covers the entire world. Did you know that if the volcano, Yellowstone, erupted, that this would happen? It hasn't.

No. But if it did erupt and it could erupt any day at any time, there will be enough ash that the sun couldn't get through and we'd all die. This could happen 10 seconds from now. Awesome. Yeah. Secondly, June 28th of this year,

an airplane goes missing for a month and returns with everyone on board claiming it was only three hours. I think they watched that show manifest. Yeah, that's what that is. And then August 2nd of this year, they claim we make contact, not with aliens, but an underground civilization.

Underground. So for what it's worth, you've been warned. This is from at past time travel. We are keeping all these dates and we will check back in and see if any of it's happened on March, June, August, and this year. Let's go over and open up. the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My question is, how do I ask for a raise from my boss when I don't see him in person? I used to work where his main office was, but now have moved to another location where I no longer see him. The raises I've gotten in the past have been in person and that's what I believe the standard

procedure is for asking for a raise. Is writing an email unprofessional? My last rates was two years ago, and I feel like I got some more experience, some more knowledge, and have put on more responsibility since then. Any advice on how to handle this in a professional manner would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, signed Sparky. I think this is an issue too with folks now because of the pandemic, more than just moving. Some people just don't go in anymore. And so you don't have that face-to-face time. And if you don't have face-to-face, I'm telling you, it is going to be so hard to survive and thrive because so much is based off of interaction every single day. You can quickly be forgotten about. That being said, I don't think an email is the first route.

I think hitting them up on a Zoom. Yeah. Because that's as close as you can get to human personal contact. You can still see each other. You still have to make the eye contact. You can still have great strong body language. Express how you feel with your tone of voice. So the first option is, hey, you might hop in on the Zoom with me.

And if Zoom doesn't work, then you can put in an email, that's okay. But before an email, I would even go phone route. And I hate the phone. I would go Zoom, phone, email, registered mail, psychic thought. That would be the order I would go. Channel it to him. Yes, it's... Raise, raise, raise, raise.

Yeah, but I think it's Zoom. Yeah, you face-to-face. And that's what, I mean, think of, yeah, for the last two years, how many important meetings and things have gone down over Zoom. And you still can have that feeling. of face-to-face. But you're right. In order to be top of mind, it's a bummer too. You're not no longer even in the same building because, yeah, that's even just running into your, you know, people you work with at times can be helpful. You know, the dynamic of a human relationship is the most

important dynamic in anything, in a romantic relationship and a business relationship. Because the first thing people want to do is protect the people they know and see and that make them feel good and make them happy. That's just a general feeling. If anyone came and like, all right, it's time to cut Eddie. And I'm like, because Eddie sucks at a job. No, no, no, it made me feel good. Yeah, because I see you every day. So I fight for Eddie, because I see Eddie. I die. Right.

So that, I would even encourage this, if possible, every six months or so, see if you can go to lunch with this dude or this lady. I think she may have said, yeah, him, she said him. If you can, even that is a strong human bond. You don't work in the same place, but it's another location in town. See if you can go to lunch every six months. And what do you talk about at lunch? Who cares?

Anything? It's just being in person. and reminding them you are a human being, tell them, you know when someone's got a gun to their head and the person goes, I have kids. Oh, right, right? Yes, got it. It's just reminding them that you are a human being. You're not just a number on a spreadsheet.

Got it. So, okay, that's the list. Zoom, phone, email, registered mail, psychic thought. Telegram. I mean, heck, do all five. What about, or if lunch doesn't work, could you arrange to go buy that office one day for, like if you say, hey,

We have a meeting. I'm willing to come there. I definitely wouldn't just do a pop-up. No, no, no, no surprises. Hello! Yeah, but good luck with that. Sparky. It sounds like you know what you deserve

and go get it. The hardest thing isn't to actually deserve a raise. It's to go and ask for it. Yeah. Because it's an awkward situation. I mean, every day I come in, raise like, hey, may I get a raise? Every day.

And you have to say no every time. Every day I say no. Yes, it's a weird situation. All right, thank you. Close it up. We've got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about the close. Bobby's mailback. Yeah.

A bride tries to get COVID so it doesn't spoil her wedding. Now, the headline, you go, wait, what? But really? I get it. Yeah. You want the antibodies so it doesn't crush your entire big day. Yeah, get it over with where you're safe to hang out and do your wedding instead of getting it the day before and you have to quarantine. Or three days before. Right, yeah. Not being able to do a lot of the things you wanted to do before the wedding because of the risk of you getting it. A bride to be came up with an idea And it's all to make sure COVID doesn't mess with her big day

And it's that COVID messes with her way before her big day Interesting Not too way before though You gotta time it right Well yeah but you could do it two months out That's true months out Ray Mundo came to me and says he's trying to get it right now Yeah I talked to several doctors

They said this was the weakest variant When have you talk to several doctors We have friends that are How many friends do you have that are doctors Be honest here How many friends do you have that are doctors? Two. The one guy owns some company that's kind of like 23 and me. The other girl used to date one of our friends. So I have two. Okay. Just wanted to make sure. Are they medical doctors? Not like plastic surgeons. They're like healers. No, it's Botox. Doctor of history. Ray. Okay. I'm still going to let you say what you're going to say, although I don't fully believe it. Go ahead. Yes. And so I heard that this was the weakest variant. And yes, you can get the antibodies. So this would be the one you would want to get over all the others. And so you are trying to get it right now. I was. I failed.

I tried to do it over Christmas, but it didn't work. That's right. Wait, sorry, ignorance here, but, like, if you get this variant, does that mean you're good on the other? From what they know now, these antibodies. We're good. You're good from, but tomorrow, who knows? Breaking news, you know? The butt-faced variance out, and anything you've ever had doesn't.

I don't want that one. Who knows? Who knows? But you've given up on that, Ray? Yeah, it just didn't work. Being around people, I guess maybe you got to actually kill. kiss, stuff with fluids, other stuff like that. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Have you had COVID? No. One of the few that hasn't. Well, I think most of this room hasn't. Honestly.

I haven't. Amy hasn't. You haven't. Lunchbox hasn't. There's four. Five of the seven of us haven't had it at all. And I see memes of people like just dodging COVID. And it's like the Matrix thing where he's bent over and bullets are going at him. And I'm like, well, I mean, yes, a lot of people had it. But we have somebody out right now again because of COVID. And so far, five of us out of the seven. Amy didn't know. Someone have COVID here? Yeah.

Now Amy's looking at all of us. And Abby just had COVID and she's back. Abby, the mask is off now, right? It's finally off. Hey, Abby, can ask you a question? Yes, you can. Did you hit the garage with your trucks this morning? What was that?

I didn't see it. What happened? It was so loud. And then, of course, Bobby's right there. You saw it. What happened? Abby nailed. the garage with her truck.

No. Well, she was, the garage goes up slowly. And I don't know why Abby couldn't wait six more seconds. No, I don't know. But it said she started driving through it. And boom, nails the top of her truck and I look back. And then Abby just keeps her head down and keeps on driving. Like nothing happened.

You think it's COVID brain? It must be. I thought, was it coming down or was it going up? It was going up. Oh, shoot. Okay. You didn't even know that. It was going up because, hold on.

Let me think about this. Hold on. Let me think about this. That's a good question. because you are coming in after I came in. Oh. But it was a bit after. I'm not sure because I was already out of my car.

And if you're driving up when I'm already out of my car, that's coming down. Regardless, you got hit. Yeah, usually it stays up. So I figured it was just like up. Well, it usually stays up because our security's here and he lets you in. I need to go look at my car. I'm very nervous.

You haven't looked at it? No, that was loud. You just ran away from it. Hopefully nothing's there. Just ignore it until after the show. Okay. It went like this. Boom!

And I was like, is that just the garage locking up? Because Abby acts like nothing happened. She poker-faced it. Straight up, drove up, got out of the car, walked in the building. I was hoping you didn't see or here. How could I not hear that? A sonic boom went off in the garage. I think your car's probably going to be fine.

You probably have a little scratch. Okay. You got the thing paid off? Yeah. Okay, well, there you go. And you probably try to do it right now. They're giving a ton of money for top dollar. No, I love my car.

$1.5 dollar for you. Okay, Abby. I hope your car is okay. Me too. Anyway, she's trying to get COVID so it doesn't ruin her wedding. We were really nervous six months ago at our marriage, our wedding. Yeah, my heart of it. Because we were like, uh-oh.

And no, we were right after COVID went down and right before Delta came back. Yeah, that's right. We had like a three-week window. We didn't know at the time. We thought COVID was over. And we're like, woo, party, have a wedding. And then like a week later, COVID's back. Butt face.

Delta. The butt-faced variant is back for you. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two, 30-second skinny. Walker Hayes lost a bet with some friends over the college football playoff national championship game. So he had to remix his song AA to include Georgia references instead of Alabama. Here it is.

Did I marry up? She made way, way down in Athens, Georgia where they love. Kirby Smart trying to write a song. The local country station will play. Hey, I'm just trying to stay out of hey, hey, hey. Dylan Scott talks about how he approaches being a dad. Obviously, we'll go out in the backyard and play, and I try to stay active with them and just be there.

And try to keep my face out of the cell phone and into their lives. And so I just try to be a friend. and then obviously when I need to be a dad, I'm a dad. Talking about her collaboration with Ashley McBride, Carly Pierce shared that she has learned not to blame herself for bad relationships. There are things that maybe you, in the end, know that you should have known. And I'm going to pay attention more. And I think as you grow and as you go through life,

and you go through all different kinds of relationships, you learn that and you figure that out. And hopefully you're better for the next. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something. A police officer in Lewiston, New York, saved the dog from the icy waters of Bond Lake,

and the whole rescue mission was caught on camera. A 10-month-old lab named Kona ran onto the icy lake, just north of Niagara Falls. There was a flock of geese that landed right by the dog, startled her and her owner. The dog then fell into the water where the ice ended and broke because of the birds. Although she's a strong swimmer, she began to... to panic and tire quickly. They called 911. The officer jumped in, got there, rescued the dog, pulled her in.

I mean, he put himself at risk. But the coolest thing is they have body camera footage of this. And you see the cop, like basically cannonball in at the pool to go after the dog. Crazy. So jumped in to save a dog, which is awesome. And again, as a police officer putting his life at risk for the dog of, you know, of somebody that lives in the town. I was watching this video on TikTok, though, just thinking about icy water. And this guy was like, I want to see if I can swim.

under the ice from A to B. Like there was a hole here. There was a whole, I would say, 40 yards away. He was a great swimmer. He's a, I don't know if he's a professional swimmer, but he's ripped and he had on little swimmy tikes. So he had to have been good. So, yes, you don't wear those and look like a swimmer with that.

And so they put a rope on his little shorts to make sure if he got lost under the ice, he could turn around and grab the rope and swim back. So he starts swimming, and under the ice, he gets completely disoriented and he can't come up. Wow. And so they're trying to break the ice on top of him because I don't.

know how going from point A to point B he lost it, but he was like, once you're under there, you can't tell where you're going. He got completely disoriented. So they start pulling him in and he finally figures it out and is grabbing the rope and fight it and gets to the air. And I was like, oh, and they're talking to him. He's like, if you have to swim under ice, it's almost impossible. I mean, growing up, we could get lost in the woods and they would say, go tree to tree. Because that's how you know you won't get lost. Go to this tree, then find the direct direction you're going. Walk to another tree. Because if you're walking around, on trees, you're lost, you're turning.

So he was like, there was nothing for me to look at as a forward point to go to. So I was just off and trapped under the ice. Wow. Wild video. So I don't suggest swimming under the ice. Okay. In case you were going to do that today. Noted. Okay, thank you. But shout out to this police officer, Officer Smith. Great story. Great job. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

To honor Bob Sagitt, who passed away earlier this week, I will play you a catchphrase from a popular 90s TV show. you just named the show. For example... You got it, dude. That would be... Full house. That would be full house. That's correct.

All right, if you miss it, you're out. Everybody can play. Let's go. Here is number one. Do I do that? Do I do that? Pretty easy one. Yeah.

Name the show. Amy. Family Matters. Eddie. Family Matters. Lunchbox? Family Matters. That is correct.

Number two. Hello, Newman. Hello, Newman. Eddie. Seinfeld. Amie. Seinfeld. Lunchbox.

Signfeld. Correct. Name this 90s TV catchphrase. Number three. That sounds weird. And the more you play it, the weirder it sounds. Okay, best. Okay.

Lunchbox. Home improvement. Eddie. Home improvement. Amy. Home improvement. Correct. Nice.

Next one. Whoa. Whoa. Oh. Amy. Blossom. Eddie? Blossom.

Blossom. Good. We are now to number five. Let's go. Excellent. I'm seeing struggle on their faces for the first time. Excellent. No.

Excellent. Did you write your answer down, Amy? I did. Launchbox? Yeah, I wrote one down. Eddie? Yeah, I got it. I'm in.

Amy. Red end. Oh, Renan Stimpy. It does sound a bit Renan Stimpy-ish. That's what I thought. That's what I thought too. It does sound a bit Renan Stimpyish. I'll come back to that answer.

Lunchbox. I thought Renan Stimpy, but then I thought that's Smithers. So I put the Simpsons. Oh, no. If it's Renan Stimpy, I'm going to be so mad at myself. I'll tell you, it's not Smithers. Eddie. It's not Smithers.

It's Mr. Burns. It's a Simpsons. That's correct. Excellent. Mr. Burns. But he does say Smithers. What I get from never watching the Simpsons or We're written and Simpy for that matter, but...

Amy, you have been eliminated. Dang. Next up. So has lunchbox. No, he got it. He said The Simpsons. He just said the wrong person. Oh, dang.

He's like the person on Jeopardy. Shoot. It's like, I'm not going to do this, but it's this. Sorry. Why are you cheering against me here? I just... Sorry, sorry. Why do you want the old man to win?

Sorry, you did that to yourself. You said the wrong person. Next up. Ah! What? Oh my gosh. We're later on into the category here. That's a catchphrase?

Yeah. Oh yeah, this happened a lot. It did? Uh-huh. Can we hear it one more time, about it? Do you know what that is, Amy? No. Oh, okay.

You got it? One more time. No. The laugh is a part of it too. You got to get that into consideration. I'm in, whatever. Lunchbox? Fat Albert.

Isn't that a show? Yeah? From like the late 70s or late 80s, a cartoon. I was that old? Yeah. My other guess was not the, yeah. What was your other guess? I had the Jefferson's, but I thought that was like 70s too.

But at least I had a laugh. Yeah, but it's in 90s. I know. I didn't know. I didn't have anything from the 90s. Eddie, you can win it right now. Yeah, I'm not confident, though. And I'm just guessing from someone going,

ah, maybe it's one of the friends people. Like, they get hit by the door or something. I don't know. If that is friends, then I am. That's incorrect. The ants, do you know it? I don't. Oh, I thought you're acting like you know it.

No, I mean, no, I'm eager. Somebody gets thrown out of a house all the time. Oh, the fresh prints in L.A. Oh, that's Will. Oh, no, that's jazz. So you guys both missed it, so speed round time. So we just say it? Buzz in with your name when you know it.

Here we go. I'm the baby. Gotta love me. Come on. Eddie. Sesame Street, Elmo. That's Elmo. That's got to love me.

That's Elmo. That's a 90 sitcom? I don't know why you're looking at me that way. That is Elmo. Because that's a sitcom? Yeah, but what else is Elmo in? Incorrect. What?

Yeah. What? Go lunch. Play it again for Lunchbox, Ray. I'm the baby. Gotta love me. Come on. Gotta love me.

What is that? I've never heard that in my life, have I? Have I ever heard that in my life? I'm the baby. Gotta love me. I'm the baby. Gotta love me. Need an answer to lunchbox?

Rugrats. Incorrect. From TGIF. It is dinosaurs. A little pink baby that sits in the high chair. I'm the baby. Got to love me. Interesting.

Okay. That's scary. Remember... Oh, sitcom. I'm so dumb. 90s TV catchphrase. Here we go. But speed around. You got it.

You need to yell your name. Go. I am Cornolio. Let me. Yes. Bees and Bonnie! Hey! That is correct.

It's come to that, Eddie. Yeah. You are the villain. You are the Alabama now. I feel it. I feel it every time these two win. Wow. Amy felt good to.

She was cheering for lunchbox. She never cheered for lunchbox. Wow. Congratulations, lunchbox. You are the winner. Catch your breath.

CD cells in the United States increased last year for the first time since 2004. Amy, do you have a CD player? I do not.

Maybe in my car, but honestly, I don't know. Yeah, I don't have a CD player either. I guess I have a jukebox in my house to play CDs. Yeah, that's a CD player. But I don't have a CD player that I would ever just listen to music on. And also, I don't see the benefit of CDs over streaming music. No. I do see the benefit of vinyl, because vinyl just sounds different and old.

Vinyl has a nostalgic feeling to it. Before we were even born, vinyl sounds like old-timey. It doesn't matter even if it's a new song. It's like, Love it. Alvin! That's what, you know, Christmas, Christmas time. So that's vinyl to me, but CD sales are going up.

And vinyl's crushing, obviously, but now it's about CDs. And I look back, I have my first three CDs ever bought. You ready? Here we go. ACDC Ballbreaker. Nice. I was a classic rock kid because at this point, my stepdad was a big classic rock guy. And we'd listen to Cool 95, Good Times, Great. oldies, and we'd play the game where

any song would come on, and we would speed race to name the song, the title, an artist. It was named that tune before we played named that tune here on the show. Love it. But it was all like 60s and 70s artists. So ACDC Ballbreaker, it was their new album, which is weird, but it was a

classic rock band. Next up, Mariah Carey Fantasy. And Garth Brooks, Garth Brooks. The first. The first one. Did you buy all these for a penny? No, I bought them all at Legit. I bought them all at a record store in the mall,

which record stores don't really exist now in the mall anymore. Do they? Like, I don't, I have not seen one, no. What did you have as Hastings or? No, we had some. Goodens or something. Goody, Sam Goodies, right?

I don't even remember what we had. What did you guys have? What year? I don't remember. This was like 94, probably. 93, 94. I don't know. See, I had an older.

sisters. I feel like any CDs I got, I got from her. The first one I remember being mine was only because I got a stereo for Christmas and I got Alanis Morissette Jagged Pill or whatever. That was the best CD. I had that too and it had so many singles on it. One after the other. It was like, it's like the second or third biggest selling album of the 90s that Jagged Little Pill album. But man, borders. Maybe it was borders. That's one for sure. I know we talked about 90s TV shows in a second. So allow us to continue being nostalgic for a second. But you would go and you'd go to them all and there'd be headphones

at all these places and you'd put them on. Because here's where they would get you. There'd be one good song on an album and you'd only hear it on the radio and you'd be like, I want that CD and then you'd buy it and you'd be like, the rest of this is not good. They'd trick you all the time by that. They could just throw crap on a CD. Four or five, six, seven songs that weren't that good. But you go and you put the headphones on. You'd be like, this time I'm going to really investigate this and make sure all the songs are good. But you really

couldn't tell because it was just you listened to it for five minutes. You'd listen to like 15 seconds. That's good. Skip to the next one. That's good. Yeah, I think I'm going to get this Bush CD. That's what I'd do. And then I'd be out of there. But man, going to Suncoast was another one. Suncoast

Records. I guess in Austin, I remember going to Waterloo Records. That's still there. Yeah, and that's still there. That's like an old school, local. But old school stores at the mall, though, like KB Toys was one. KBs. We'd go by and be like, oh, I'd love to go to KB and get something.

or the one that had all the green light posters. Spencer's Gifts. Is that what it is? Yeah, it's still there. Spencer's gifts. And I think that still exists. Yes, it does. But now it's a little more adult than it was then, but it was a little bit adult back then.

It was all neon posters in the back. When you think of the mall, back in the day, I still think a great American cookie company, though. Oh, for sure. Mm-hmm. That's a staple. Back in the day, stores at the mall. Sears. Dillards.

Foot Locker, man. And it's still around, but I remember going to the mall and being like, yeah, that place. is happening because the music was always loud and everybody was dressed as refs. It's like, this is fun to be in here. I don't think they dressed as reps anymore. They don't. I wanted a foot locker the other day at the mall, and I don't think they just wear hoodies now.

That's not cool. I bet they just felt dumb. They're not even real reps. They're wearing a whistle. Lunchbox, any stores come to mind? Chick-fil-A, because it was only in the mall where we were kids, and that was the only time you could get it, and it was amazing. That's when, oh, so good.

Chick-fil-A was only in the mall. Only in the mall until, I mean, I mean, we were in high school, I would bet. Remember the limited? Oh, yeah. That's where I would be like, oh, I wish my mom would buy me clothes from there. Structure. Yeah, structure.

I just remember we could never afford Dillards, but we would walk through Dillards to get into the Hot Springs Mall. We'd park in that spot and walk through Dillards, and I'd be like, dang, they have Abercrombie and Fitch. I wish I, or Tommy Hill figure. That's what they have a Dillard. Yeah. Maybe that's what it was.

Tommy Hohen figure. Because Abercrombie would be a separate. Mervins. Oh, yeah. Yes, Mervins, California was definitely at the mall. Those were separate malls. I had never been to a Mervins. Oh, Mervins, Bells.

Bells. I don't know those stories. Are those just Texas stories? Maybe, maybe they were Texas stories. Yeah, I don't know. I remember Circuit City was big back in the day. Oh, I don't even that exists anymore. No.

Circuit City, Kmart. Oh, out of the mall. The Kmart was awesome. Radio Shack. All right, all right. We'll get to more current things in the next segment. Two segments talking about the night. There are a few things I don't.

like onions mayonnaise and scary movies I can't I don't like any of those I want nothing to do with any any of the three and now experts are saying that scary movies are bad for your health

being scared can cause you to eat more during and after which again is not good for your body for overindulging in bad things because mostly people are eating bad food many people say that dark thoughts are also toxic to your brain and what happens is you think these things

even if you're not thinking them purposefully, they're lingering in your mind. So scary movies are bad. I say we eliminate them. I like it. Listen, when I'm dictator, sorry, president. When I'm president,

slip. Sorry, I don't know why that. I don't know what came out like that. I eliminate all scary movies. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So if you've done anything a little spacey lately, I have a story that's going to bring you a lot of comfort. Like you are not alone.

I'm still blaming daylight savings time. Yeah, even though that. That just stays with me. Go ahead. This comes to us from Burmese. And a woman was leaving the grocery store. She had a cart full of groceries. So she goes over to her car and puts them in the back of it.

Then she goes and returns the cart and gets in her car and drives home. Only problem is she gets home and goes to unload the groceries. There's no groceries there. Her name's Sarah Cowan. And she put her groceries in another car that looked like hers. Oh, and it was unlocked. It happened to be unlocked. And then she went to put her cart back.

but then went back and got in her legit real car and drove home. Well, a couple things come to mind. First of all, I've been known to put the remote in the fridge, and then I can't find the remote, and I'm like, well, I bet it's in the fridge. Because your mind is just somewhere else. So I've done that. I've also, I've walked up to a car before that looked like mine, opened it, and I'm about to get in, and I'm like, it's not my cup.

I don't have a cup that looks like that. You know, like, this is not my car. I've had that happen before, too, looking in and happens to be open. Now, to go all the way through with the groceries, That's crazy. Funny. Just imagine the person that gets back in their car. They're like, oh, a secret Santa.

They're coming groceries. Yeah, well, don't know that person's name, but shout out to them because they did get to their car and saw all these groceries. So they gathered them up, took them inside the store. And then when Sarah got home, she called the grocery store. And they were like, yep, we have all your groceries here. The person dropped them off. Well, also, now I'd probably think it was somebody either scamming me or tracking me. I wouldn't just think that a bunch of groceries showed up accidentally.

Oh, really? Yeah, especially with all the stories like Apple Air, tags, people are tracking you. That is not a sneaky way. The other one that I read is Ego Waffles, people are tracking you. So I would be looking. What's that one?

No, he made that up, Amy. I just kidding. I don't know. I mean, kids, too. They're hearing things like on the news and in school and from other kids who are clearly hearing it from their parents. Like, my son comes home sometimes and he's like, Mom, did you know the government is tracking us by putting chips in our arms? And I'm like, no. And you just say, no, that's not right.

They're tracking us by our phones. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, yes, that oculus should play. Those kids are so dumb. They're actually tracking us by the iPhone, son. Yeah. So anyway, it's funny what kids talk about at school. A Virginia student got a million dollar lottery ticket in his Christmas stocking.

Nice. So his name's Brian Donahue. He's a math major at University of Virginia. And mostly picked this story up for lunchbox because it was something just that was in a stocking. And boom. And in Virginia, they have that thing where you get the winnings after taxes. that's what you're winning. So there's not a million dollars

and then taxes are taken out. You win what you win. Well, and didn't he say he wasn't giving his family any of the money? Well, oh, I don't know that part. I did see that some of his winnings will go towards. This could be a different story. Is it same person or different?

Oh, hand me that story, Mike. Yeah, let me roll into this one. Then finish yours first. Well, this guy, Brian, he says that some of his winnings will go towards paying tuition and then I don't know what he's going to do with the rest. I'll tell you, car, food, jewelry, why. Did you imagine in college, though,

winning a million dollars? Okay, here we go. a 24-year-old man says he and his wife were recent winners, taking home a $5.6 million lottery win. Wow. With the cash, they did the obvious thing. They paid off the cars, the mortgage, the student loans. They were left with about $5 million to do whatever they please.

Now, keep in mind that statistically, 70% of a lot of winners go broke. So 7 out of 10 lottery winners go broke. So they put about $3 million in the low-risk investments. They put some money down on an apartment complex, you know, jumped in as an investor. He thought the family would be happy and that he and his wife were playing it smart. But the relatives, no, no, no. They were like, hey, let's go on a trip.

Take us all these places. Hey, why don't you buy this for us? He's like, I'm not giving you guys any of the money. And I agree. If it's like second level relatives, I don't care. You know, maybe you take him to dinner or something. But also, it's not like he's out buying himself. Again, a lot of jewelry and a lot of shoes and going on.

He's investing the money. Sounds like they're being smart. Yes. What would you expect or, I don't know, from, like, or say you and Caitlin win the lottery. I mean. I felt like I already have by me. marrying her. Yeah, save that clip.

Send it to her. No, no, but like, say y'all win $5 million. And, you know, would you break off a bit for different family members? If I am speaking candidly, I already do break off bits for family members. Right. But it's not lottery. And so I don't think that would affect anything. Okay.

I already do take care of different family members back home. So I don't think it would change anything. I would continue, but I would just continue. And I'd feel a little freer doing it. Let's say Caitlin's family. There you go. What if she's like, okay, I want to give my... If they needed a truck or something, I'd buy my truck, but I'm not just going to go.

No, not about meeting. It's about, it's about like... Oh, just for fun? Yeah. Yeah, probably. What if Caitlin came to him? It was like, I want to give my parents a million dollars. Oh, no.

Out of the five we won? No. No, they don't get a bit of the bunny. No. Get out of here. Wow. We're not giving anybody. Hey, you know that's possible, right?

They raised her and gave you that beautiful gift. Mm-hmm. and here is a canned ham. Here you have. You got have a good dinner. All right, what else? Well, so we are always looking for TV recommendations along with, I mean, I'm sure our listeners. And Reba shared some.

She recently posted that a show called Welcome to Earth, which is a National Geographic show starring Will Smith. It's on Disney Plus. She said it's amazing, along with the Beatles docu series called Get Back. And she said they're very entertaining and education. So those are two recommendations from Riba. I wish one artist would recommend breaking Bobby bones. As much as I recommend their music. That's a good point.

Why can I never get anything back from these people that I'm like, oh, do this, promote this. Did any of them reach back and go, you know what? You've helped me. Let me help. No, not a single dang one of them. That's why we're having no more guests in 2022. I'm tired of it.

No more. I'm kidding. All right, is that it? Yeah. Has anybody seen Welcome to Earth or Get Back? We've seen Get Back. Bobby and I have. I have.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's eight hours long. It's four episodes. Would I like it? No, you'd hate it. No, no, no. You'd hate it. All right.

Well, we'll keep you posted on Welcome to Earth. 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. So there's this woman in Massachusetts.

Her name is Gail. She's 66 years old, and she's had kidney disease her entire life. Like, every night she's hooked up kidney dialysis for like 10 hours. just so she can get through the next day. Now, for the last two years, she's been on a transplant list with no luck. So one of her best friends made these cute little signs for her to put in her car

and all of their friend's cars that said, want to be an angel for an angel. And so it also alluded to that, yeah, there was a kidney needed. And this one woman, Debbie, she was shopping at Target, walking through the parking lot. And Gail, the woman that needs a kidney transplant,

was there waiting for her order to come out at Target with the sign on her car. And Debbie was like, you know what? I think I can do this. I think I can donate a kidney. Wow. So she goes and knocks on her car window and he's like, hey, saw the sign and Debbie went to get tested. Guess what?

I bet she was a match by the story. And if you had told me something good, I don't think. I bet she's a match. She's a match. Here's Gail talking about it. I can't even express, you know, what gratitude I can give to Deb because this is really saving my life. Yeah, the surgery is scheduled for next month. And the new friends, you know, Gail, Debbie,

they're going to ride to the hospital together in a limo. What if they get in a limo and they hate each other? They don't get along at all. They voted for, and they're like, No, they say here, they just know they're going to be friends forever. Great. I love the story. She just wrote it.

It was on her car. She reminds me when Eddie wrote on his car, his Venmo and that he could use a beer. It's been tough. He got nothing. Nothing. I got like $5. This woman gets a kidney. You don't when you get five bucks for beer.

It's terrible. You know, I saw bumper stickers like this the other day. I mean, maybe a couple of weeks ago. And a car that said my grandson needs a kidney and it had a phone number on it. I had never seen a mother sticker like that. Wow. Did you call? Dang it.

No, I did not. I mean, that just shows how powerful it is to feel it in you right now. I could do this. I'm going to go knock on the window because you have to, it's a complete stranger and you're willing to be like, you know what? I could give away my kidney. And you also have to go, man, I hope they don't change their mind. Yeah. I hope they don't change their mind.

I hope they don't. That's awesome. That's a great story. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good Here are your top three songs in country music this week At number three, Chris Stapleton, you should probably leave I know you!

So good. I can't quite hit that like you can, but I can get close. He tried. Dustin Lynch and McKenzie Porter at number two. Thinking about you. And the number one song, which is saying a lot in this student, especially after it plays is Michael Ray Whiskey and Rain. What's that last let it drip?

Drown, drown. Drown. Okay, I go let it drip. Hey, who cares? Yeah. Music's up to your interpretation. Thank you. I don't sing anything, right.

The number one pop song is from Adele. Easy on me. And the number one alternative song is from the Lumineers, and this is called Bright Side. I'll be a bright side. Baby tonight There you go There's all the big music right now

He's the best daddy in the whole wide world. Oh. Yeah, that's true. Eddie has four kids. Oh, boy. Two biological children, two that you were fostering and now you've adopted. Correct. You have four kids now.

Yeah, man. Do I look tired because I feel tired? Well, I think that's why you're wearing this crazy beard to cover up how tired you are. Maybe. Maybe that could be it. I just feel tired every day because it's a lot. Yeah. You know, the four kids is a lot.

More than anything, they're not like annoying or anything. It's just loud all the time. So actually, when I come to work to talk, to you guys, I feel good because it's nice and peaceful here. We were working the other day from my house and it snowed and everyone was trapped and I said, hey, you guys can go home. Like if it's in, it's 2 o'clock and he's still over at the house. I'll just take my time.

So how is everything going with the kids? Everything's good. I mean, the boys are great. It's just constant work or whatever. But, you know, I have, we have our son that you said that we did foster for a couple of years and now we've adopted. And he said something the other day that really like just touched me. I guess I don't really think about what he's thinking all the time, but we're driving.

And for months now, anytime we see a homeless person, he's always says either me or mom, hey, do you have any money? Can we pay the homeless guy? And then if we have money, we do. Or sometimes we just, the light's wrong and we just go right through or whatever. But finally, the other day he said it again. I said, why do you always ask to pay the homeless guy? He's like, well, because I just feel like that would have been me.

And I was like, what, what do you mean? Well, I just feel like if I wouldn't have lived here with you guys, that totally would have been me. And I'm like, you're six years old. Wow. Like that is some deep, deep thinking. And I think for a long time, I just felt like he's just kind of going through the day to day. He's not really thinking about what his life is, what's going on in his life. But obviously, he is enough to look at a homeless man and say, wow, that could have been me.

I could have been homeless. But I'm not anymore because I have a home. Amazing. I'm about to cry right now. That's amazing. Does he call you, Dad? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

They both call you Dad? I'm Dad to both. Was there a transition where he wasn't calling you, Dad? Well, it was weird because when we were fostering them, I mean, the baby we've had him, he's almost three now, and we got him from the hospital. So I'm all he's known. So to me, I'm Dad, was Dad from the very beginning. But our six-year-old, you know, it was a transition because he, I wasn't always Dad.

But during the fostering period, he started to call me Dad. And I was like, I don't know if this is healthy. or not because I don't know what I'm doing. First off, as a foster parent, is the first time we'd ever done it. And as he was calling me, dad, I said, you know what? I'm not going to stop him.

If that's what he wants to call me, then maybe I'm just a dad figure to him. But now I'm just dad, like everyone else. Well, not to turn this too serious and get too emotional, but would you mind if I called you dad? No. So you know, that would be weird. Okay, all right, all right.

That's a great story, though. Yeah, I thought it was pretty interesting. That's a great story. Amy, I want to start with your story about your story about your friend, and then we're going to get some callers who have stories about their husbands or their fiancés going to their dad. Okay, you're up. Okay, so, yeah, Psycho Dad or Funny Dad, I learned that when my friend's husband was asking

for her hand in marriage from her dad, the dad kind of had a heads up that it was coming. So he suggested they go on a hike. So they're out in this area, like, hiking through the wilderness, and they come upon, like, this cliff area. By the way, sounds like a trap. If you're the... The fiancé. He probably knows it's coming in.

This sounds like a trap. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't like too off. They're an adventurous family. Like this is kind of... Seemed normal. Got it.

But the dad took the boyfriend who's about to ask for, like, hey, can I marry your daughter? And, like, nudged him over to this, like, cliff area. And was very subtle with it. But definitely alluded to the fact that if you ever hurt my daughter in any way, like... I'm going to... I'm going to throw you off the cliff. Wink weak, like, you're going to go off the side of a cliff. I mean, probably a metaphor for lots of things.

I don't know. But, I mean, the guy still went through with it and still asked, and then they continued on their hike and went on their way. But it's just something, like, it's a funny story they tell now of, like, oh, I don't know. I didn't, like, he didn't know for sure, like, was the dad being funny or was he being, like, legit serious? He doesn't know because he's never hurt the daughter in any way.

Well, I always find this to be funny when someone goes, if you ever hurt them, if you're in a relationship long enough, you end up hurting each other in many different ways. Oh, for sure. Inadvertently, inadvertently. So in real life, this guy's got to been thrown off the cliff a long time ago. Also, you ain't going to throw him off a cliff. Are you going to get me back to a cliff?

I know not to get near a cliff with you if I hurt your daughter. He just warned you. Yeah. But the cliff was a warning. It could be a, you know, I don't know. I think I would have laughed even if he was being serious. Okay, go tell me off the cliff. No, I don't think the words were said,

I'm going to throw you off the cliff. It was like just implied. He looks at the cliff, looks at you. Looks at the cliff, looks at you. And makes the noise. It was just a threat of sorts. And I thought, oh, wow. Like, yeah, I don't know if that's funny.

Like, as a daughter. Probably funny, right? You don't really think another human's going to throw you off a cliff. Yeah, and they're a good family. Only bad families do that? Do bad families do that? Michelle in Oklahoma, you are on the Bobby Bone Show. Hi, Michelle.

Thank you for calling. What do you want to say? Well, mine's kind of funny and psychotic, I guess. My parents have been different my whole life. I can just say that. My husband asked my dad if he could have my hand in marriage, I'm guessing. And I guess to this day, my dad was like, really? why? I mean, what? And

like, I look over and I was like, wait, what is that supposed to mean? And he just kind of looked at me funny and never told me why, but I mean, he said, yes, I'm guessing, because obviously we got married, but it's like, why? If there were any no, like, strong nose and the daughter was like, no, but I'm still marrying you. Like, strong no. Yeah, like we, we, We completely disagree with this decision.

This is the worst mistake you could make. Yeah, that'd be crazy. And then you're like, I don't care of getting married. I guess for this daughter, she's probably feeling like, why would her dad be like, apparently the dad is like, why do you want to marry in my daughter? Dad's trying to talk the guy out of it. The dad's like saying, I mean, yeah, but I'm warning you. I wouldn't.

You're going to be throwing yourself off the cliff. He takes him on a wall and it's like, you see this clip, son? It's not for you. This is for you, but only if you do it. Let's go over and talk to Carrie in Virginia, who's on the phone. Carrie, thank you for calling the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on? Hi, good morning. Morning, studio. Morning.

I wanted to say that for long time. Okay, so a little more on the awkward side. My husband at a young age had been married twice before. So even though he'd been married before, he was still old-fashioned and wanted to ask my dad for permission to marry me. And so when he asked my dad, my dad looked at him and said, huh. So do you think the third time will be the charm? Oh. Dang. That's funny.

Dang. I mean, this guy was, are you still married to him, by the way? Yes, I was going to say, we have been married for 25 years. Okay. Well, there you go. Great. Love that. So you won't mind this joke.

But this guy was collecting dads like pelts. Dump, he put him off the wall. Got another dad to say yes. Dump, got another dad to say yes. Boom. Got another. Yeah. That's awesome, though.

And funny. And you know what? Good for your dad. Because that's the question everybody wants to know. Like, you already been married twice. Yeah. And what's the difference here? Hey, thank you, Carrie.

Thanks for calling. Thanks for listening. Yes, thank you guys. Have good day. See you later. Kelly, you're on the air. Let's go over to Kelly in Arkansas. Kelly, what's happening?

Hey, when my husband asked for my hands in marriage, my dad told him yes. I didn't know anything. Then my dad calls me and says, I know something you don't know. Oh, no. That's crazy. And now I do know because you just said that. Oh, no. He kept hinting until I knew.

And so now everybody knows, like, even growing up, I never woke up on Christmas morning to Santa because my dad would, like, barely put us to bed. And then come in and go, I think I heard Santa. So we don't tell dad anything. Yeah, I see why. Thank you for the call. I hope you have an awesome morning. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

A family in Montana was driving down the highway last week when they lost control their pickup truck. Boom, down the embankment into the icy river with the raging water. Sheriff's department gets the call. They're like, all right, we're coming. Swift water rescue. And they show up, it's mom, dad, three-year-old and six-year-old on the roof of the car. Oh, man, on the roof. Yes, on the roof of the truck.

And they're like, man, this is going to take a long time. Other cars that are driving by stop and they get out. And one by one, they form the human chain. Give me your hand. Give me a hand. Give me a human chain. Give me your hand. Give me your hand.

And the human chain one by one makes their way into the icy water. Brings the three-year-old. Brings the six-year-old. Grabs mom, grabs dad. And they're all safe because of the human chain. And he give me your hand. Mike, give me your hand. Okay.

Why are you guys holding hands right now? Because we're doing a human chain. We don't need it though. We're reenacting on the story. It's amazing. And here are two of the rescuers talking about it. Luckily, I'm a little taller. And I was able to touch the bottom in the river all the way out to the truck.

and help pass the kids off to shore. The rest of us created a train up the bank. It was an amazing experience. Well, he says they filmed a human train, so. Oh, man. They're on the hands on hips. Like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da. That's a great.

They're all safe, right? They're all safe because of the human chain, guys. If you're ever in that opportunity, make a chain. Yeah. Let's do it. Guys, everybody in this video. Gotta make a chain for once in my life. All right, that's what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. Probably 20 minutes ago we were talking about if your husband, fiancé, boyfriend, when they went to ask your dad for your hand in marriage, did anything weird happen? Amy told a story about her friend. A lot of you guys had stories. I do want to share one more story. Tammy and Kentucky is on the phone. Waiting patiently.

Tammy, thank you. What would you like to say? I just wanted to say My husband didn't ask for my hand in marriage We just kind of broke the news to my parents And my parents were not happy about it They begged me not to marry him and so on Well, we went ahead with the wedding

And my dad was so adamant about me not marrying this guy That he was begging me as he was walking me down the aisle Not to marry him He was trying to bribe me saying he would buy me a brand new car he would get me an apartment and pay for it and everything. I mean, this was years ago. I was young, dumb and naive. I wish I had to listen to my parents because marriage didn't last.

Oh, you did. It didn't last. They were right. Okay, I assume so. Tammy asking you, so it did not last. They were right. Were they, I mean, what were they right about? Oh, we lost her.

That's what it was. She's breaking up. Hello? Are you there? Yeah, we are. What were they so right about? Um, it ended up that he was abusive and mean and it wouldn't work. And, you know, they just kind of saw something in him that I didn't see, I guess.

You know, they say love his blind. I guess it was. Dang. Walking down the aisle, don't do it. I'll buy your car. Don't do it. What do you want? F-150?

I mean, he was desperate. Dang. All right. Hey, thank you for that call, Tammy. I thought that story was going to end up with kind of like a she's in love with the boy, you know. Yeah. And nope. Parents were right.

Yeah, parents were right. All right, let's do the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. A doctor is no longer allowed to practice after branding initials into the patient's liver. Oh, why do they got to do that? A doctor has been removed from the medical register for branding different patient's livers with his initials. The incidents occurred in February and August of 2013.

He used a surgical device to write his initials on transplanted livers. And finally, they were like, okay, you can't do this. It took a long time for the courts to get to it and make a decision, but no longer. But what's the, no one sees it. Yeah, but it's him. He's like, he's a psycho. Well, I don't, I'm not saying he's psycho, but something about that is like, I am the doctor and I'm putting my mark on this liver before I put it in there. But if you don't get to see it or no one gets to see it, why would you do?

Yeah, because he knows. Right, just that much of a narcissist? Something like that. He sees him at the mall and he's like, what, you don't know. Yeah. And so did, like, a nurse or other doctor rat him out? Because, like, you don't know. You can't see inside your liver.

A 1.6 set of initials was discovered by another doctor when an organ had to go back and be readdressed because the transplant failed. Gotcha. It failed to take. Oh. I bet he wishes he hadn't assigned that one. Yeah.

That's from CBS News. Bob Sagget apparently died in his sleep, no suffering. sources familiar with TMZ and the investigation there said he was, quote, tucked into bed. The lights were off in his room that when he died, he was not hurting or was not in pain. That's crazy. As we reported, as they write on TMZ, the official cause of death won't be known for 10 to 12 weeks. The operating theory is that he suffered either a stroke or a heart attack while he slept. Oh.

It's just a just a reminder. I mean, yes, because he had no concern, so it's just such a reminder of, like, how precious life is. You went to bed that night. No idea. No one there to like be there with him or maybe if he was even showing signs to be like, hey, is something wrong? Like he just, at least we know from this, maybe it was peaceful, but still. I often think about life and I think a lot about death.

Yeah. And people go, you know what? Life is short. And you never think that until life's almost over. Yeah. Because your whole life is long. But it's only when life is almost over or somebody else dies where you go life is short. Because to us, it's on.

the scale that has been created for us, meaning 80 years, 90 years. Most people feel like 100 years, zero to 100, that's kind of like the human life. And so they're like, life is short. And you're like, no, man, I mean, a week takes forever to get through, much less a life.

But then I go, the flies, fruit flies, that live for a day, a day and a half, do they all hang out at the fruit fly place and go, oh, man, life is short. And somebody's like, no, it's not, we've got a whole day and a half. And are there other creatures that live for a hundred thousand years that we don't know about and they look at us like fruit flies and they're like

these people think they're living a full long 100 year life this is why you don't sleep it is like I'm like you're picturing fruit flies having a conversation I'm going our life isn't short a fruit flies life is short right but are they also looking at something that's alive for like five seconds and going oh man our life's not short that so I don't know but I don't feel like fruit flies trust me I've been I've been to the fruit fly bar it's not the best place to go radio shows and how do you know But this is what happens I lay in bed And I think about this stuff

And we're like Oh man Life is short But not really Fruit flies life is short But what if they're like Man life is long We got a whole day and a half on earth

But they're like looking at some You know Cell And they're like you know That's anyway I mean that's next level Not really It's pretty dumb

Next level thinking Because I mean I just don't think about Anything I guess Because I'm like Wow that's so deep An hour later I'm just exhausted

And turn on a podcast You go ahead Through every species A passenger breaks into an American Airlines cockpit. Oh, boy. There are questions after a passenger broke into the cockpit of American Airlines jet. The incident happened yesterday at an airport and damaged. The plane is boarding for a flight to Miami.

The man ran down the jetway into the cockpit, did some damage. He tried to jump out an open window, but the pilot stopped him. The plane carrying 121 passengers, a six crew, had to be replaced due to the damage. So obviously, it was delayed until, like, heavily delayed. I wonder. I'm like, is that his plan all along? Like, I'm booking a flight. I don't care where I'm going.

It's just so I can get in the cockpit and damage it or the flight deck, whatever. And then, or did he, like, go crazy, you know, at the airport? And then got on the plane and started freaking out and then just reacted. I'm glad you asked. He's on the phone right now. Tommy? What were you thinking? I have no idea.

Is this premeditated? Or he snapped. I would imagine that's it. I don't think you premeditate weight in line to go through the metal detector. I know. work. It's a lot of work. Yeah. So it doesn't feel like it's premeditated. It feels like probably I'm upset about something. Let's do it. That's from Reuters. You can change your mood immediately by doing this. Researchers have discovered you can change your mood by putting on a new stylish

outfit. Oh. That's right. It seems the symbolic meaning of clothes and the new feel of wearing them changes the way you mentally feel about yourself. Wearing clothes that are perceived as newer and fresh causes you to be more focused than when wearing casual clothes. This really works for me when exercising. If I put on a new pair of shorts or even a new shirt, I've just cut the sleeves out of it. It doesn't be a new shirt. But it's new to me because it's, yeah, I'm like, oh, this feels good. I get a good workout in.

I mean, a third of my wardrobe now is cut off shirts. Not shirts I buy tank topy. But shirts that I take scissors to and cut the sleeves out. They're DIY tank tops. I don't like sleeves. I don't have huge arms, so it's not about showing anything off. I just don't like to be restricted in life or in T-shirts. You know what I'm saying?

So survival myths that are completely wrong Because sometimes Amy, you hear tips And they're like, okay, if you're in this situation You should do this and it'll save your life If a shark comes up to you, poke it on the eyes And do the three stoog, yon, yon, yon, yon. Yeah.

But you also have to go nuk, nuk, yon, Or the shark will eat you. Some of the advice you get is just wrong. For example, if you were to run into an alligator, Amy, and just see if you know what people have often said and the alligator's aggressive and you have to run, what do you do? Run.

If I have to run, I just go straight. Go, run far, far away. People say that you should run zigzag to escape an alligator. The alligators can do that. Alligators can also turn, yeah. But they only run in short bursts. Oh, so they're like, just going to be fast. Just run and don't stop because they won't be able to keep up with you.

If you're able to get a step on it, just run, run. If you're not able to keep it to get a step on it, You're not hearing this because you're dead. You didn't get a step and you ain't alive right now. Chomp, chomp. Next thing, if you can't run, is it to get like a piece of wood and put it in its mouth? No, that's a fire. Oh, crap, I read the wrong myth.

Okay, there's an alligator. What do I do? Okay, then you can drink water from a cactus. Have you heard that before? Like if you're in the desert, they say cut a cactus open, drink the water, squeeze it. First of all, they say, don't do that because what will happen is it'll make you even worse. It'll give you diarrhea. Oh, gosh.

Because that's so bad. and you will become even more dehydrated. Okay. Well, what about it? Okay. What? But if I find an aloe plant, I'm probably going in on that one. Well, you're going to put stab on your elbow and your little cut?

No, but you can eat aloe. I mean, you can eat anything. You might die after it. Okay, I'll have to Google that. Is that one of your hippie things? I mean, yeah, I've thrown it in a smoothie from time to time. What? Why?

I don't remember. I haven't done it in a minute, but there was a time where I was. taking aloe in some shape or form every day. That you should follow flying birds to water. That's another one. If you cannot find water, just follow the direction of the birds. I mean, I feel like that could save you if they're going to water. It could, but birds could be flying anywhere.

That's like follow that car to McDonald's. Is he going to McDonald's? I don't know. It could be. Well, maybe you don't just follow one. You follow like if there's a family of... But the bird could be flying from the water and going home. Sure, the bird could be all waterlogged and had a great...

A little drink. That you should punch a shark in the nose. Yeah, we've heard punch it in the nose or between the eyes. Here's the thing. A shark's nose is slippery. And if you don't hit it right in that perfect spot, it angles down into the mouth and the teeth. So don't hit it in the nose.

Go for the eyes. Oh. Like start scratching eyes. Grabbed eyes, punch eyes. Don't hit it in the nose. I mean, I guess if it's the only thing sticking up, but the nose is going to be hard to hit because it's slick and not a lot of surface area

to punch. And you think you're doing it. All of a sudden, your fist is in its mouth. And you're like, well, how did I get here? It's lit right in. Yeah. So eyeballs. So there's that one. That alcohol warms you up. Ever heard of that? Yes. You feel warm since it's dilating your blood vessels

and your face and your extremities, but that causes you to lose more heat to the environment and therefore you will die of hypothermia quicker. So do not drink alcohol if you're out in a cold place. Like don't drink alcohol to be warmer. Another one is that hey, don't worry if a bear is after you run downhill because bears can't run downhill. Yeah, they

can and they will and they'll eat you. Don't just go downhill for the sake of running downhill. Okay. And that finally you should ration water if you're in a survival situation. They say no. Drink what you have until it's gone. Use that time with good hydration

to take stock of your situation and make better choices. Decision making and physical abilities drop off quickly when you're dehydrated. The first decisions you make after realizing you're in a survival situation are critical and pay long dividends. So drink it all And if you have a bit of water, and let's say, Amy, you and I are somewhere together, and we each have our own ability of water. I'm going to push you and drink all your water, too, so I can make decisions for both of us.

Thanks. Smart. And that's how you live long. Yeah. Good to know. Uh-huh, uh-huh. And that you can jump off high surfaces into water safely, which is not accurate because you will break your bones. Yeah, there might be rocks.

No, no, water hurts. Oh. Just because it's wet and you can fall into it. It doesn't be from a long way. It's like pavement. Okay, there you go. I've just saved a lot of lives. I feel pretty good about today. A lot of listeners' lives were saved by this.

Like today, probably somewhere in Florida, someone runs into a shark and is going to punch them. Or an alligator. Oh, true. Both, maybe. True. Same day. That's a bad day. But maybe it is a bad day for somebody.

And I saved their life. I'm pretty proud of that. This show is good for something. All right. Stacey and Tennessee is on the phone. Hey, Stacy. Are you there? Hi, Stacey.

How are you? Doing pretty good. Now, here's the thing. We've got to go into a break real quick, but I would love for you to get your question on the air because I think a lot of people are wondering what you are wondering. Can you hold for like three minutes? Absolutely. I'm in my car.

You mind me being on my speaker? Well, yeah. Yeah. But while you're waiting, you can be on speaker. Yeah, wait away on speaker. But sometimes it's like, hey, boy, I got all the time. And I'm like, we don't know what's happening here. So we'll figure it out when we come back.

How about that? Okay. But she has a question. I think a lot of our audience wants to ask somebody on the show. Deeply personal. I'm just going to let it run, you know? Stacey, you're back with us. I appreciate you, Holden.

What is your question? My question is, is Amy Fish, or her daughter's Fish, still alive? That's the question, because we all bet money on this thing, and you were like, I don't know if it's alive or not. Yeah. Did you check when you went home? Checked. Fish is alive and well. A well or barely hanging on.

No, that's even quoting my daughter. Before I even went upstairs to check, I was like, hey, because I had texted her while she was at school. And then when she got home, we were talking about it. And she goes, Mom, it's alive and well. We just need to change out the water soon, which she's not wrong about that. That's a good sign. It's a good sign and make me some money.

It's getting cloudy. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Hey, Stacey, since you held, I'm going to give you a chance here. I want $100 for the scratch-off ticket that Abby got me for Christmas. I'm going to give Stacy a chance to win this $100. Okay, ready, Stacey? Oh, my goodness.

It's big odds. Yes, I'm ready. You're probably not going to win. But I do have a dice here with 100 numbers on it. If you can pick the number, one through 100, and you hit it, I'll give you this 100 bucks. Ready? Go ahead. 72.

Good number. The number is 92. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I was so close. Not really. Well, you didn't get a two on the back side. Yeah, and, yeah.

Yeah. And you were fun to talk to. 90s closer than, like, one. Well, you guys have a wonderful. day and I appreciate you all so much. Thank you, Stacey. Have a good day. Thank you. Bye-bye. The question is, have you ever been fired for doing something just dumb?

Luis Lanzano and Eric Mitchell, two LAPD officers were on patrol in what is called the Crenshaw District in April of 2017. Now, this is happening now in the news because there's been updates in the court cases, because sometimes court cases take a long time. They were asked by their supervisors to respond to a call about a robbery at a Macy's nearby with multiple attackers. They failed to respond and later told their supervisor they did not hear the call for help. A review of the audio of the patrol car showed they did hear the call,

and they discussed responding, but one of the cops said, ah, screw it. Oh, no. Minutes later, they decided, you know, they wanted to go get a Pokemon card instead. What? These are officers at the law? and one of the guys you had to get at the spot was real close by so they had to go get it right then. Some character named Snorlax. Snorlax.

They needed to go get it now, a Pokemon character. The fact that they... Out loud, they said, I screw it. If they knew they were being recorded. So if you've ever been fired for doing something really dumb, let us know. I did see that there was a story about a psychic, and this happens a lot in the news where psychic is getting in trouble because they take a bunch of money from people that are.

vulnerable. And they say, hey, continue to pay me and I will cleanse you of this. I will make sure this doesn't happen to you. The story is about William Young. That's his name. He first met this psychic in New York last year in 2021. She said, hey, I'll purge you of dark spirits and I'll find you a soulmate through the spells. He is bipolar. The rituals would cure his mental health issues with something else, she said. So in the end, he paid over a million bucks for all the rituals. Oh my goodness. Mm-hmm. He also allegedly leased a car for the psychic

who needed it to go get supplies for the spells. Of course. From Michaels. Hobby Lobby. Yeah, of course. So now the psychic could be in some trouble. This is from the New York Daily News. If I were the psychic, I think about this, and I'd been swindling.

First of all, you can't prove that the psychic hasn't done this so far. And if the judge was like, okay, Mr. Psychic, Mr. Bones, you're a psychic. This person says you've been swindling a million dollars from them by removing dark spirits. I have. You ought to see the spirits before I got it. You have no clue. You should have seen the spirits before I got a hold of this guy.

It's been really bad. We've really gotten far. As a matter of fact, Judge, I'll throw it one for free for you now. I don't know the judge of the client. You should keep going with it for everybody. Commit. It's a lot of bad idea. Because they can't.

Listen, the psychics going to jail. The psychic is probably a bad person. If I'm just guessing, like with my own logical brain, But if I were the psychic, I would be like, prove I didn't remove spirits. Let's go. I'm right here. Prove to me that no spirits have been removed from this guy. Can't do it.

You can't do it. But the psychic should probably be in trouble. At what point is it bad? Because if it would have been like $100, we would have been like, well, that's what you get for going to a sidekick. It's bad because this guy's life has changed dramatically in a bad way because he gave up pretty much all the money he had. in a desperate attempt to make his life better because quality of life wasn't good. Yeah, she took advantage of him.

Yes, and the serious part of this is, if true, this is alleged, if true, we should make sure this isn't happening. It is our job to protect the vulnerable. And we have to, not just in this situation, but in general. Yeah. We should help feed the people that can't eat.

We should help clothe the people that don't have clothes. You know, this is our job as just human beings. but to this I also just go how would I defend this and I would go in as a psychic and I'd wear the full gear I mean I would go in yeah I take the crust of all I'd have it all and I'd be like your honor you have spirits around you too I'd do the whole song and dance because prove I'm not

you can't yeah you can't prove it yeah until your honor you really can't prove it you might need some help but how to me you take it to like total next level then it's like we might be too about you great but then I'm not in real prison you're in the I'm an easier prison and mission accomplished you're in the mental hospital at that way yeah that might not be easier I don't think it is but that's that would be my

approach that would be my strategy going in with that judge so um okay let's see let's talk to Kalinda in Georgia who has called the show hey is it Kalinda am I saying that right yes you are Hi. Hi. What would you like to say? So you asked if any of us have ever been fired for something dumb. Yeah. And I have one where I'm not sure if it was dumb, but it was kind of an instance where I should have known better.

And I was a server at a pizza place when I was 18. It was my first time ever serving. And now I seriously admire people who serve tables who wait tables because it is a hard job. But I had a table of four older women who came in and they were celebrating something. They had their food. They kept ordering wine. They were having a good time. They were nice to me.

I was nice to them. But they had been sitting there for like three hours, right? And so I asked them if they were ready to go, which apparently you're not supposed to do with your server. Like, all right, let's go. Guys, get up. Yeah. And so they got mad and they called my boss over. and he fired me that night.

Oh, that seems... Wow, that's traumatic. You couldn't even learn from that? I mean, you're a kid. Yeah, he was just like straight to the plane. No, right up. It's just like you're gone. Well, I don't like that for you.

It sounds like you're doing okay, though. Yeah, yeah, that was almost nine years ago, so I'm much better now. Well, good. I'm glad you bounced back. Come back player of the year right here. Well, thank you for the call, Kalinda. I hope you have an awesome day.

You too. Thank you. A quick story, just based off that, I want to get to the pill two in a second. I was talking to John Michael Montgomery yesterday. He was over at the house. We were recording a Bobbycast that comes out on Friday. And he was talking about when he used to wait tables. And this table came into this restaurant, Mexican restaurant he was working at.

And they ordered three dairies, one for each of the parents. And a, I think he called it a near-dacery, a not-dacery for the kid. No alcohol. So two with alcohol, one with not alcohol for the seven-year-old. Oh, my. And so he takes the dacqueries over to the table. And the seven-year-olds, like, having the time of her work. And he goes over to the bartender and he goes, hey, did I say that no daffery?

Did I write that down? Or did I write down three dairies? And the bartender goes, you wrote down three dairies. And he goes, oh, crap. Oh, no. I wouldn't say anything. So John Michael Montgomery, our friend who sings, Hey, pretty lady, want you to give me a sign?

I do anything to make your mind on mine. he goes over to the table and says, hey, this is what happened. And the parents were like, we didn't notice she was drinking that thing awfully aggressively. And he's like, they were cool. But luckily, we caught it pretty quick. And it just was what it was. And nobody got fired. But that's a nightmare.

That's almost a nightmare situation. That is crazy. I also saw a story, and I'm really rambling now, but I saw a story about a guy whose religion didn't allow him to eat meat. and this restaurant put meat in his food, and he sued and wanted a bunch of money. I don't drink. I've never had a drink. If someone accidentally served me and I had my first drink,

could I make some coin? Yeah. Because I'm doing it not for any sort of reason of it's immoral or moral to drink. It's just, it just happens so much in my family that I don't do it. Never have done it. If somebody, let's say John Michael Montgomery is my server. Let's say I go to the restaurant today and John Michael Montgomery gives me a drink. I have a couple of drinks.

I'm like, oh, no, this is alcohol. Could I? Chachin. Yes. Dang. I think even, yeah, because. Because that's happened a couple times where I haven't drank it, but I'm like, because it used to be Amy, was my all-time smeller.

Or taster. Or taster. You can't, well, sometimes you can smell, depending on. But now it's obviously Caitlin. And so there have been times where she's like, oh, this has got alcohol in it. Dang, that could have happened a bunch of times then. I could have been, I might be drunk right now. I mean, yeah, but you could you imagine.

I mean, part of yours too is like, yeah, you've had addiction in your family and you don't want to even know what would happen to you possibly. Or like someone that's in recovery. If that were to happen to them and then they get a sip, it could throw them completely off. I don't like working out. This is my transition here. I hate it. I try to work out five days a week. I hate it.

I try to do it a lot. But it is the most miserable thing to me. I like the benefits of it. So I'll take one hour and be miserable and hopefully have 23 where I'm pretty proud of myself and feeling good about myself. So that's the exchange that I make in my brain for that. and scientists believe they're close to distilling the chemical secrets of working out inside of a pill. So the pill mimics the health benefits of exercise. And so I'm thinking when they came out to market and they said, okay, here's a pill you can take it.

I would not take it. Me neither. I would wait. No way. I would wait years. I would basically be like an anti-back pillar. Anti-pillar. I'd have my own Facebook going to be like, I don't believe in it.

Because I want to move my body. Now, I guess, I do. I want to do nothing and just feel and look good. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, and that's the goal? Who wants to do stuff? But I do it because I know you have.

For your mental, for your brain. I read a book. Okay. So does this pill make you jacked or just make you feel like you're, you can work out? I guess it releases the chemicals that you get from when you work out. Like endorphins and I don't know, whatever else. But it doesn't make your muscles. It does.

It has to do a lot of things, that pill. I don't think it has curls for you. Because like, is it. your heart healthy, your brain. Yes. I think a lot of that. Yes. Because that's, okay. Okay.

And that's the segment. I'm not taking it. We did like eight things there. I'll end it with this. That's the segment. Bobby Bones show. Boney of the day. This story comes us from Indianapolis, Indiana.

There was a free Doja Cat concert this weekend and a guy was way back there in line and wanted to be closer to the front. So he got on his phone, typed an email, said, hey, there's an explosive device in the area. You need to evacuate everyone so he could get. to the front of the line. And they traced it back to his email and he was arrested. Did they evacuate anyone? Yeah, they cleared the area because they see the email and they're like, oh, no, but that means he had to leave also.

Probably got up real close. Oh, yeah. It worked. I mean, you could probably walk on stage later once everybody was gone. Wow, what idiot. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Americans are reading less than ever, and I do put myself in this category, too, because

I still like to read. But unless I'm very deliberate. about it. Like, I'm going to read at this. I won't just go, well, I'm kind of bored. Reach over and grab a book, which I used to do, but not so much anymore. I grab my phone and read Twitter now. I want to read the news.

And it's not so much about people's tweets, but I have all these news sources that I like to read, just so I, maybe I'll make a note about the show or something. But I'm on Twitter first, and then I'll go to TikTok, and once I'm on TikTok, it's an island you won't get me off of. If I'm like, okay, Twitter's all caught up. Let's watch TikTok.

Wow. This guy's going to cook a water balloon and a microwave? I can't stop. So I do read less now, probably 30% less, but I've got to really set aside time and go, this is my reading time. You? Yeah, I'm reading a book right now. It's called Limitless. And he literally says in there that you need to put in your calendar a 20, 25 minute window of when you're going to read. And you treat it like you would anything else an appointment and you go, you sit down and you do your reading. Reading is not a thing for Americans. more. A Gallup poll reporting, Americans are reading fewer books than in the past.

La, la, la, they go through with a bunch of stats. But I do fit in this. I like just, my phone is the greatest thing ever. It's the greatest invention ever. Everybody's like, I don't agree. I don't. I love it. I'm connected to so many people. I know so many things. It is just, it's the greatest thing. And there are times, I'm on my phone a little too much. But there are times, I have a bag of almonds here. Sometimes I get too almond. D.A., too many almonds. Right. So you can go a little hard on things that. Anything. Anything. So there's that, but there's also something called wilfing.

You guys familiar with wilfing? No. So wilfing is to waste time surfing online. Now, what do you think wilfing is? If it willfing, like a wolf, not like a milf. Very different. Yes, it is very different, but if you're wilfing. Wasted internet life.

I like it. It stands for what was I looking for? Like I went online and I just went online to go on and I was like, oh crap, what was I looking for? So I do a decent amount of wolfing now too. I just get there and I was like, I knew I was coming to the internet to do something. I do that still in the kitchen too. That's called just being old. I'm in the kitchen.

I don't know why I'm here, but I didn't walk all the way over here for no reason. But Wilfing is what was I looking for on the internet? We're done with today. We will see you guys tomorrow. We hope you have a great Wednesday. Goodbye, friends. All right. If you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company, you know the drill.
