Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong step.

On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Ho Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Morning studio. Morning. Question. Because Lunchbox is not here again today, but he's on the phone. Lunchbox, do you have a story for this, or are you just on the phone to be on the air? No, no, I got a story. I got lots of stories. Okay.

You sound great, by the way. He does. He never sounded healthier. Sounds wonderful. Yeah, I sound pretty good. Yeah, now, he's never been better, actually. So, okay. But you're not in today because?

I just, you know, I needed that one more day of mental healing. Oh, mental healing. trauma and stress of having COVID, really. messed with me and so yeah. Okay, well, we're going to go around the room and share our favorite story of the day and so lunchbox you can go first from home. Go ahead.

Okay, I mean, I don't know if you guys saw this story or not, but the dude got arrested for Tupac's murder. Yeah, we talked about it. A lot. Like four days ago. Big news. Yeah. You've been gone so you haven't known. But you can go ahead and give us your take on it. I mean, you want

to talk about the bone head of all bonehead? Like, is this a case of him? just wanting to brag like, hey, no one's giving me credit for this, so I want credit? Or why is he out talking about it? He's been talking about it for years. Yeah, and they just kind of, and he's not the shooter. They don't have, they're arrested for being the shooter, but he's just kind of had enough.

The mastermind. Enough facts. Yeah. He's known enough things and too many things. He just kept talking long enough that it bit him in the butt. But don't they think the shooter is dead already? They said he would, in the LAPD or whatever interviewed him, said anything you say in this interview, you will not be arrested for.

But then he writes a memoir. He goes out and has an interview. I saw the interview on TikTok that was kind of the last one before they went and raided his ladies' house. And they found the bullets. And not the ones that shot two-pock, but the same kind of bullets that were used, apparently. I believe that's what the story was.

But yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. Thanks for bringing that up. Yeah, man. I mean, that was the craziest story. Can you believe Tom Brady and Giselle broke up? Yeah, that's nuts, dude. Wow.

And Tom Brady retired. What? That's crazy. All right, man. Hey, thanks for that story, Lunchbox. Yeah, you want. want another one? Okay. There was a teacher. I believe she's

down in Louisiana. Oh, no. 33 years old just gave birth to a baby and then she went and turned herself into the police station because it was one of her students. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think he was how old was he? Was he 12? He was like 12? What? I saw that. What? I think he's 17. Oh, I saw a different story. I saw a 12 year old story. I saw a 12 year old one.

But not, I don't know. Well, this happened twice? Well, I'm sure it's happening a hundred times. Where she gives birth and turns out something. I don't know by the birth. Oh, okay. Wow. Turned herself in, huh? Did she know someone was going to turn her in?

Like, why would you go turn yourself in? Why not? Just try to... She probably had to fill out the dad on the birth certificate. Here's another one. A Tennessee teacher busted for that with a 12-year-old claim she's pregnant. I'm going to raise his baby. That's the one I saw.

Sick. Oh, God. That's crazy. All right, lunch bucks. Thanks, buddy. Yeah, you want one more? Go ahead. The power ball is up to $1.4 billion for Monday.

$1.4.4 billion dollars. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Oh, my gosh. Guys, when we do it this time, I don't care. We don't need to multiply our money. 1.4 billion is enough. Yeah, I'm in. Scoob, I'm in.

You're collecting money. Probably in on that one, too. Now you're in. Was it good enough for you now? Now it's worth your time. Yeah. Okay, lunchbox, thank you. Yeah.

Okay, cool. Let's go over to Eddie. Eddie. Next Saturday is the ring of, fire eclipse across America. You can see it. It's 11.13 a.m. is when it starts. So that's central time.

And it's like, it's going to be really cool because we are shadowing the, let me see if I can get this right. We are shadowing the sunlight on the moon. But it's, the moon is so far away that it's a ring around. So it's not going to be a full lunar solar eclipse. You see a ring around the moon. It's going to look like a ring around our shadow. That's all I can understand what you're saying.

The rest of what I understand. I mean, it's very scientific. and I'm trying to understand myself. So what's in the middle? Our shadow. There's three things. Picture this. Picture this, three things.

The moon we're looking at. Behind us, no, no, that's not true. See what I'm saying? Morgan, do you know this? I know. I'm reading it right now to see if I can. Okay, an hour and 20 minutes after, the moon will move directly in front of the sun,

creating the ring of fire. Boom. Ring of fire. Okay. Amy, what do you have? Okay, so there's this teacher. She went on TikTok talking about how she doesn't really have strict rules for her students like if they don't have a pencil it's fine

she'll give it to them they don't have a computer charger it's fine she'll give it to them dress code like they get to eat during class because you can't learn if you're hungry there's all these things and she put it up on tic-tok and rearrange teaching i guess but parents are freaking out or people are like wait this is what's wrong with kids are we not preparing them for the real world and the workforce like can you imagine if we just showed up here and we're like I don't have what I need. That's okay. I think it would amplify certain behaviors good and bad, right?

I think some people probably are better with that. Some are worse. And I think everybody is specific to whatever their nature is. I don't think that works generally with kids who aren't developed. I don't think it really works with adults either. But I can see some people doing really good with that kind of environment. Yeah, I'm just curious. None of you.

She doesn't give homework, which I'm like, okay, I can support that. that as a parent, I'm over homework. Well, I like that she's trying something, unless she's just lazy. And she's like, I have this crazy new technique, but really, she just doesn't want to work. True. That sucks. All right. Finally, always flush the toilet when you walk in a hotel room.

Oh. Always, especially. And I thought, too, like, why? Because poo or something that they left in? Because that happened to me. Yeah. Oh, but that was. In Virginia Beach.

Yep. There's toilet paper with poo on it. Oh. When they're like a can too? Yeah. There's an energy drink can in there. Somebody was chilling in your bathroom, dude. Oh, my God.

So, however, they say, especially if you want somewhere warm, flush toilet when you get there because just stop the bugs or anything coming up through it because there's insects and bugs and it's warm it's warm and wet and so that's where a lot of them live so if you flush the toilet right away it'll keep bugs from going up into your room so there you go thank you you're welcome that's the news thank you everybody here all right we got darius coming by in a little bit which will be pretty cool let's open up the mailbag you send an email and we read it all the air It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones.

Days after my little sister turned 18, my mom moved out and disappeared for months. My dad took her pretty hard, but eventually he forgave her, and when she contacted him months later, they talked it through and ultimately got a divorce. Since then, my mom has only contacted me a few times a year on Christmas, birthdays, and other special days or events.

I really don't even know where she's been all these last few years, but she just moved back to our town, and she's been contacting me once. wanting to get together. I don't know how I feel about this. She basically abandoned us, and now she just thinks she can pick up like nothing has happened.

Should I give her a chance or not? Signed, abandoned son. The answer is yes. You should give her a chance. You should also realize that you have made mistakes too in your life, and you're going to want somebody else to give you a chance at some point.

Different levels, sure. But she messed up. Maybe that's what she wants to say. And she has to work to get your trust back, obviously. No one's saying everything's exactly the same as it was because it can't be. But it's your mom, man. So what I would say is go into it, slightly optimistic but not overly, and let her build that trust and that relationship back.

But also listen to her and see what she has to say, why she has to say it, what her perspective was. And she'll probably say I was wrong, but this is what I was feeling that made me feel wrong. I mean, there's just a lot to it. So, and I'm never going to say, no, don't do it. Especially if she's making the effort. Like if you're the kid and you're making the effort, I still say, hey, go for it. Maybe you can give, but she's making the effort.

Yeah, you can always hear her out. And then just, I wouldn't have these expectations of what it's going to be like. Just hold on to it loosely in a way, but be open to listening. And it's okay to be angry and it's okay to be sad and it's okay to have every emotion that you have. and it's okay to share every emotion that you have with her, and she will share hopefully every emotion with you. And then you will get to a place where it can be healthier. It will never be the relationship of a mom that was with their kid their whole life.

But that's okay. A relationship is better than no relationship if there's any sort of healthy dynamic at all there. Think about grandkids. Do you want a grandma? There's a lot there. Go meet. Don't have high expectations. But be optimistic that something could possibly happen through time.

Yeah. Let her build your trust back. you're going to have to build your trust back with somebody else eventually. It's something else. We all screw up. So good luck. It's heavy. I'm rooting for you.

And, you know, I've had a similar situation. So go get it. And I do think, since she's trying, she's really going to try. All right. That's it. Thank you guys. Anything you want to say to that? No, I mean, I fully support giving it a shot.

Eddie? I was going to ask you, how long did it take you to kind of realize? 30 years. What? Okay. That's, that was it. Like how long did it take you to realize that like, okay, maybe people do make mistakes because you went like that with your dad. Yeah, I think he's a little older because his sister turned 18.

Oh, yeah. So I would imagine, I don't know, 12 to 24. This kid could be, I was five. Well, and everybody processes it in their own time. And this person is sending you an email and you being in a similar situation. It's like, because you went through it, you're able to say, hey, don't, don't take as long as I did maybe. You just go do it. And I don't have a relationship with my biological dad, but that's okay.

I don't hate him anymore. I just don't have a relationship. It's actually, there's a big difference in hating someone and not having a relationship with them. So good luck. You got this. And don't expect it to be fixed overnight. It's going to be awkward, but it will be worth it. I'll promise you.

All right, good luck. Close it up. We've got your email and we let it on the air. We'll go around the room and do Fun Fact Friday. This is a little warm up. Coffee breaks come from a tradition. in the 1800s called 11s's, where people would get a break at 11 a.m. to go drink whiskey.

Oh, that's cool. You should bring that back. Should we? Yeah, that'd be awesome. All right, let's go. Fun fact Friday. Lunchbox's still out six, so Abby will be filling in for him. Abby, you'll go first.

What is your fun fact? Okay, I won't do a gross one like he usually does. This is about music. So the British Navy uses Britney Spears songs to scare off pirates. How crazy is that? I guess they hate. English pop music. Yes.

It's probably not so much about Brittany as it is just the sounds of pop music. Right. The pirates don't like that sound? I thought she was international. That's crazy. Maybe now with the pirate community. They're like, no, no, no, no, Britney, I can't take it. They're still pirates?

Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Not like, arg. That's what I'm thinking. But, yes, they do the same thing. Like water terrace. They're on boats and they like take, you ever see an IMD captain now?

Captain Phillips. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Terrists. Pirates. Pirates, yeah. I see, I'm picturing like Jack Sparrow. No, no, no, no, no, not those guys. They're clothes have changed, but technology.

But they do the same thing. They take over and kill and loot. Crazy. Yeah. Top and shorts. Which is crazy. All right, next up, let's go to Amy. In 1977, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield decided to open a bagel shop.

But the cost of bagel machines were so high that they were like, shoot, what are we going to do? So they enrolled in a $5 ice cream making course instead. They were both looking for a new career path. They both love ice cream and voila, Ben and Jerry's. That's cool. How they decided who gets to be first? B and J.

Probably. Alphabet. Yeah, but then I would go, we could do alphabetical, but then we're BG. And then I'll be like, I don't think. Oh. You know what I mean? You flip a coin. Maybe.

I don't know. Eddie? So in Russia, you can hire an ambulance to take you, like, as a taxi. Cost $200 bucks an hour. But they'd get you across down really quick. They turn the lights on. Really? You get somewhere in like five minutes.

In Sovria, Russia, you don't drive ambulance. Ambulance, drive you. That's crazy. Seems safe. It's Russia. Nothing's safe in Russia. Morgan. So, Gray's Anatomy, the very popular TV show,

they don't use fake organs for their surgery scenes. They actually use cow organs. That's cool. I thought she was going to say real organs. No, you can't waste human organs. But why can't you just do fake organs? Because it looks real. It looks.

Stop it. Like the ice creams on commercials. If I see an organ, It's not real. I'm going to call FCC immediately. Oh, because you're a doctor. Yeah. I'll be like, this is not real. I demand we've...

I've got a few music ones I want to do for you guys. So first of all, Louis Armstrong is the oldest person to have a number one single on the Hot 100 ever. He was almost 63 years old when Hello Dolly hit number one in May of 1964. So a 63-year-old was number one. But he also had... You know what song he has? What a wonderful world. Yeah.

I see skies blue. So the Ramones. Are you familiar with the Ramones? Ray, would you play a little Blitzk Craig Bop? The Ramones, punk band, original punk band, played 74 shows at CBGB's in 1974, to where they really became famous and known. The average length of their entire set was 17 minutes.

Really? I mean, they do play fast. And go hard and spit, and jump and kick. That's right. 17 minutes. I thought that was crazy. And then my final one in the music here, the song Boys in the Hood by NWA did not make the Billboard

Top 100 when it debuted in 19. But it did make it after the movie straight out of Compton in 2015. Wow. It's all about making that GTA because the boys in the hood are always fun, fat, Friday. It's time for the good news. Oh, it's Bobby. Tell me something good. Last Friday at Yukon High School's homecoming football game in Oklahoma, big reunion happened.

And I can get on YouTube or TikTok and watch these all day long. After a 10-month deployment, Army National Guard, Chief Warren Officer 3, Joseph Jarvis returned home a month early to surprise his family and escorted his daughter, Emmeline, onto the field for homecoming. Yes. Love it. She didn't even know. It was Jarvis's fourth overseas deployment. And with the homecoming game coming up, his wife was like, is there any chance, any chance?

Because he missed her first steps. There were things that when you serve, you're just gone sometimes. And so he surprised her and was able to walk her. And then also was able to like, thanks to my supervisors for letting it happen. That's so cool, which is pretty cool. I know. I'm walking my niece and homecoming in a couple weeks. Oh, you are?

Uh-huh. At the game? So it's like on the, where does that, what does that mean? Yeah, I think so. I think that's where you walk somewhere. I don't think, I don't, I feel like I can say that. What do you mean? It's not a surprise?

No, I don't think so. No, no, she asked me. Yeah. She was like, hey, can, I guess they, I don't know. They must need an escort of some sorts. Yes, and I guess her, my, her dad, I guess, not available. I don't know. You should ask more questions. Well, no, it was just yes.

It doesn't matter what the question was. But are you sure you're not going to the dance with or anything? Don't know. It was just yes. I doubt that. She needs something? The answer is yes. She's going to have fun with her friends. Okay. This must be part of like the homecoming evening. Maybe I ask more questions today. Maybe. I would think so.

All right. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's financial literacy. month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre

as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component. to communities thriving.

If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work

unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body.

We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

No, none, but I did get an order for Halloween night. Somebody needs a chicken for Halloween. Your chicken business is dead. So, dude, we got one in the mix. Okay, here's another one. I got a morning corny for Amy. What's the difference between a guitar and a fish? You can't tuna fish.

Bye. Tuna. Tuna. Tuna fish, yeah. All right, one more. Hey, I love you guys so much, but even after the visit with Nicholas and his mom, you guys were so fabulous with him. And it really touches my heart what you do for people, Bobby. I just, I can't say enough about how great you are. Thank you for being you.

Well, that's nice. We thought they were super cool. We brought him in. They were awesome. And they didn't look like stabbers. Right. But he was really good, wasn't he? Like just a natural good kid, yeah.

And he won't he? So dumb. I knew it was a smart kid. Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right. Do you agree with these new cell phone etiquette rules? Okay. Never call out of the blue.

No, I don't agree with that. Okay, always... I don't, though. Usually I'll say, hey, are you around? Can I call you? I do that, but I do it as a super kind gesture. I think if I call, that's okay to. Yeah, it says here, just always text first, like heads up.

Never leave a voicemail. If they don't... Well, let me say this, the new operating system. If you leave a voicemail, which it has, But also, if you leave a voice memo, which I do in the text, it will now read it to you so you don't even have to listen to it. That's perfect. Oh, that's smart. Okay.

Well, if they don't answer your call, you should hang up and then send a text instead. Like, this is the way. Rather than a voicemail? People like to communicate. It's almost the same thing with the voicemail now, though, because you can read the text. My voicemail's not even set up. I don't know that mine is either. Mine's full.

Oh, boy. Is it because your message is so long, the outgoing? Hey, it's Amy, please leave a message and have you feel better. There is no room left to leave a message. It's just full. Okay. I still have voicemails on there from like 2015. I like to keep them somewhere from my dad.

Okay, you don't have to go sad. I get that. We got it. Your dad died. Okay, don't use that against us. Go ahead. I wish I had one for my mom. Okay.

Just go on. The National Sleep Foundation has a new recommendation on the best sleep practices. And it's crazy because I never know what to believe anymore because they always said, wake up at the same time on the weekends that you do in the weekday. You got to stay consistent. That's the most important thing. And now they're saying, you can sleep. in extra on the weekend to make up for sleep.

And that is the best thing to do for yourselves. Here's what I want to say. I think everybody knows their body. And if I sleep way too much, I'm worse than if I got no sleep. I have a kind of a threshold of what I know. And I can sleep 10 hours and feel good. I really can. And I can go to sleep at 4 a.m.

and sleep until 1 or 2 p.m. That's my normal body. But that's my body clock. We all know our body clocks. And if I sleep on on the weekend, sometimes it does help me. But if I stay consistent, but I have to go to bed at a consistent time too, that's just generally the best for all of. Consistency is best for the human body.

Just do you? Yes, but it's got to be a healthy consistency. If you're getting three or four hours and you're waking up early on the weekdays, you don't need to do that on the weekend just because you should let your body relax. Right. That's the nuance. There's a lot of nuance with the human body. All right, what else? Yeah, and speaking of waking up, just the thought of coffee,

that coffee obviously has caffeine and that wakes you up, but most people that are coffee drinkers say just the thought of them helps them, thought of the coffee helps them get out of bed. Oh, yeah. I think about coffee and that gets me out of bit. To get to the coffee. It doesn't do what the coffee does. It's like, I'm up.

Okay, got it. It's a motivator. I can get my coffee. Right. Okay, it doesn't give you coffee effects. It just gets, got it. In case anyone's taking a road trip this weekend, I have the top road trip country songs. Okay, go on the road again.

For sure. That's the number one. Boom. On the road again. I would have picketed if it would have anything but that. I start all my road trips with this song. My kids are all like, dad, every time. What else is on the list?

This is from the boot.com And two, they have Take Me Home Country Roads. Don Gooder. This may be more fun to sing. To the place. Everybody. I've lost Virginia. Yeah, that's more fun.

What's the third? Wagon Wheel. What else? Just wanted people to know about something cool that's going down on Fortnite. Did you play that? No, no more. I used to. My son plays a lot.

But you can check out Ed Sheeran and his immersive experience at our I Heartland at State Farm Park. And it's in Fortnite. It's a special show. Ed's going to perform. You explore exclusive scenes. It's a don't miss special with Ed Shearing. It's great. They do concerts.

Yeah. And this one's now through Monday, October 9th. Well, on NBA 2K, I DJed in the city. So you want to see me? Yeah, it's the same buddy. All right, thank you. Amy, is that it? Yes, 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. You know how like in the 1960s is popular to wear your boyfriend or girlfriend's class ring around your neck? I mean, I don't know that, but I've seen some movies. Right. Just to show, like, hey, this is my girl or that's my boy or whatever.

Well, this guy, Chuck was dating Darley, and he had her. class ring around his neck. It was very special to her and Chuck lost it. Chuck. It was 1960. Exactly. Chuck, what the man. Here we are. 2023, all these years later. They are married and have kids have a family. They ended up staying together. But the ring was found by this metal detector enthusiast named Trent Banks. Now, Darley, she would go up to anybody she saw with a metal detector in town and be like, hey, if you find this ring, let me know. And Trent found it like an old sandlot next to a tree. So it's super cool. She tried to offer him a award, but he wouldn't take it.

Amy's still looking for her ring. I got two things to say. Amy, still looking for her ring. Yes. Texas A&M, class of 03. It's gold with a teeny tiny diamond and my my initials or my name engraved on the inside. Can't remember. I can't remember if it's initials or full name. I just don't remember. Eddie is beating me up by getting a metal detector and going in my backyard. He thinks they're... For what? Dinosaur bones or something? Oh, I think that we can find some really cool Civil War stuff in your backyard. They do work.

I rented a metal detector once to find my wedding ring when I lost. Oh, I never thought they didn't work. I just don't think there's going to be any. What do you mean? Do we get can'tines, medals, whatever? And then call Dr. Lori. We'll be rich. But you can rent them.

Yeah. Oh, for sure. I'll rent one. I told Bones on a Saturday. Just call me out. We'll metal detect. Okay. It looks like you're kind of interesting.

If you get a metal detector, we can do it for 30 minutes. 30? You have to be more committed than that. Yeah. I'm not spending the whole day metal detecting. We'll do shifts. We'll do shifts. I'm not an enthusiast like that guy.

Like Trent. But if you get in a metal detector, I just don't think there's anything there. Oh, we'll find something. Oh, Amy, great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker,
