Morning studio. Morning. Well, let's go around the room and just kind of get what's on everybody's mind here. And today, what's your favorite new story of the day? Fridays? It's fiction. Nonfiction for, I don't know, I'm trying. I don't know.

I try to F it. You know, a little alliteration. It's, it's. Favorite. Favorite story for, yeah. Favorite from the news. Fun, fun, fun, fun. Okay, we'll get to that one later.

His restaurant of choice is pizza hives. But the last time you order pizza, it wasn't even cut. Here he is, producer ready. Guys, this weekend is the Aqua Rides show. Do you know what that is? The Aqua Ride. Aquarides. No.

So this is a very rare meteor shower. And if you want to wake up early, this is right before the sun comes up at dawn. There will be meteors, 20 meteors per hour. Is there a chance to anybody be recording this for the internet so I can watch it later? No, no, no, why would you want to see video of it? You can just look up. I don't want to wake up. Eddie, I wake up early every day.

It says right before the sun comes up is like the prime time. It would be cool to be up. It would be cool to be up. I will not wake up early to see that. Oh, dude. I think I'm going to do it. And you can see it either. It would be cloudy.

You missed this morning because it happened this morning, Saturday, tomorrow morning and Sunday morning, you still have a chance. It'll be cloudy. And you know what? For the Taylor Swift shows, all the swizzles, it's supposed to be rainy. That's true. That's true. Oh, really? That's not bad.

Last time I saw, what? 5.23 a.m. is dawn here. Boom. Wake up at 5? No bad. Go outside. I ain't waking up on a weekend at 5 o'clock. I know, but it's just, it's not that bad.

And also it's supposed to be raining, like I just said, and cloudy. Maybe they'll be a gap. The Taylor Swift shows here. It's going to be tough for that if it's rainy and cloudy. Morgan, you want to Taylor Swift? Yeah, I am. I figured you would. Where'd you get tickets?

I'm going with her friend. She invited me. I did not buy them. I'm not that much of a little team. What eras are you dressing up as? The reputation era. Ooh, nice. I dress as the red album.

Me too, dude. But I do it even when she's not here. Oh, really? Yeah, she's not a thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, moving on. He tried to get on the news using his alter ego, Nico Jackson, but the newsroom did not give him his desired reaction. Here he is.

Lunchbox, everybody. Pasta la vista, baby. What? There's a New Jersey town. This lady's out for a walk along a stream or river or whatever. And someone had dumped 400 pounds of pasta all along the... In the water? No, on the bank.

Cooked or dry? Cooked. Like, and they don't know where it came from. They don't know if it was a restaurant that just had extra pasta and they couldn't get rid of it. But there is 400 pounds, I mean, just mounds of pasta. That's crazy. I mean, it's forever. It looks like when someone dumps a washer and dryer,

on a dirt road somewhere. It looks like a bunch of those because it's in like different pasta blocks. Surely they can find that. And how do you transport it to there to dump it? Can you imagine animals

and go eat that? That's going to be an animal feeding ground for everything. But they do have a couple suspects. Okay, here's a joke. And I don't know if it's written in the story, but let's go.

First guy is Lynn Guiney. No, shut up. You knew that was going to be a joke. Amy. The other one, Mikey's a joke. Al dente.

Al dente. Al dente. Al dente. That's the texture of the pasta like if you cook it hard or sauce. What did you say? Lunchbox?

That's in the story. That one. You just confess to yourself did you confess that you didn't make those up? Oh, no, no, wait, wait. Oh, hold on. They think it may have been

Rigotoni. Alfredo. I like Alfredo. There's no spaghetti? Those are all. Or maybe it was done by an impasta. Oh, Amy. Oh, dang it.

Yeah, but were those in that story? Yeah. Were you claiming jokes? that we're in the story. That's here and gets sued for that stuff. He said he'll quit music. Feel bad for him. Did you hear him?

That's just what you just did. I mean, I'll quit telling news stories. Yeah. All right. Let's move over to Amy. She's always looking for signs from above. And when we make fun of her, I mean, we do it. We mean nothing but love.

Okay, there she has, Amy. There's this woman. She's 25 years old from Florida. Her name's Bailey McBreen. And she started burping one day. and that was out of the norm for her. But she's burping, like, a lot. Like, she's like, where is this coming from?

I never used to burp. Well, it turns out tons of doctor's appointments later. I mean, the burping was never even associated with it. She started to get other symptoms, and she has colon cancer. And the burp... I mean, that's how she found out about it, but she was burping? Well, that is what they then went back and were able to identify was her first symptom. Wait, what?

We're all... No. No, I'm not saying this to scare anybody. I'm saying this to listen to your body when you see a change because she was like, whoa, I never burping now. Burping. So she did try to look into it. But then it wasn't until other symptoms started to show up. And then when they went back and thought about it, it's like, oh, the burping was the first sign because of what was going on inside her body.

That's crazy. Isn't it? That's what led her to find it. Right. Oof. All right, Ramundo, hit me up. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He gives his TV clothes away and people don't even have to pay.

Bobby Bones. Thank you. This story is such rubbish. It is so annoying when it comes out. An iPhone still works perfectly after spending 33 days at the bottom of the ocean. I mean, I spill a little bit of water on mine. All of a sudden it's in Mandarin. The new one, though?

Because those new ones, I think, are pretty waterproof. No, mine's waterproof. And, like, if I dribble down my chest and one drip hits mine, all of a sudden, you can't hear me on my phone. Or the speakerphone. doesn't work. I don't know why mine sucks so bad, but a Minnesota man who lost his iPhone 14 while kayaking in Hawaii got the shock of his life

when a complete stranger got in touch with him and said, hey, I got your phone. And he's like, all right, well, maybe I can save, no, it works perfectly. 33 days at the bottom of the ocean. There's no rain. Question, though. If the phone's working, can he do find my iPhone

and go to that part of the ocean? Not if it's dead. Okay, so it's probably the battery died. if it's on for that long. And that's aside from what the water does. I don't know. So sometimes when I just drink a lot of water, my phone turns to mess up.

They didn't have to get wet. Yeah. That's how badly it deals. What? Nothing. Okay. That's also crazy that they found. Like, I've lost goggles in the beach,

and I've looked for hours. Can't find the goggles. But also nobody's going to find them and get them back to you because who cares. I'm just saying, you know, like they fell right by me. They felt right by my belly. And now I can't find them?

It's crazy. You can't find goggles when you lose them right by your belly. Out of the beach, man. It's weird. Like I drop my goggles. It's not the Bermuda Triangle, bro. It's literally a beach. I just look down.

I've lost so many. All right, that's it. That's the 5A little segment we do at the start of the show there. All right, good. Everybody good? Yeah. Okay. We got a good one because Kimberly Perry from the band Perry is going to be in.

The band Perry no longer a band. They're just a family Perry now. But Kimberly is solo. And you may remember the band Perry from this song right here? Or maybe this song right here. Or this song right here. She's going to come in and she's got a song. sequel to one of their songs.

I don't know. I've seen her in a long time. I think it'd be pretty cool. So you guys hang out. Hope everybody's having a good Friday. 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. I'm a huge fan of the show. I've listened on podcast for seven years now. I just wonder what's everyone like outside of the show. Who talks the most when the mics aren't on?

Just curious what everyone is like when they're not doing the show. Sign. podcast listener Michelle in Florida. Amy, you want to fill this one at first? Well, Bobby talks the most on the show and the least off the show. I think that's pretty accurate. Correct. I feel like everybody else in here is pretty talkative-ish.

I would say lunchbox curses a lot more. Oh, so sure. As soon as he walks in the hallway. It's like Chris Rock, as soon as he like crosses that threshold of the door. It's like he can't wait. F-F-F-F-S-S. We're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, let the door shut. Even if there's like bosses around.

Yeah, he does not care. I would say that is different. Yeah, I'm not going to curse. No. Well, occasionally I might. But not to worry. We're struck because it's so different. Oh, yeah.

No, I'm not going to. I'm probably not doing it at work, but I let a good, hmm. What? To like bellow mom sometimes. You understand what's going on. Like a mom and I were venting on the phone the other day to each other because it's almost like kids don't understand your time and they don't respect your time. I mean, they just assume that you can do whatever needs to be done. And then if there's no thank you, where does the F word come up in this?

That's where on the phone with her. You said it? Yeah. Well, yes. I mean, what context? We both. We both said it. I'm wondering the same thing here.

Like, say the word chicken instead of the F word. But say what you say. Okay. Let me see if I can do that. I don't want to accidentally say the word. Okay. So what do they think were just chicken here for them? Oh, wow, wow, wow.

Well, I probably said that too, Amy, actually. Which I mean, we are in a way, but when it comes to just at this moment, do this, and then they get out of the car and there's no thank you. Yeah, what's a chick, man. Yes. You know what I mean? Exactly. Yeah. And then the other mom's, like, she said, backed me.

Yeah. Right. I'm not chicken here for her all the time. You know, and we just feel something about once we, towards the end of our call, we're like, feel better. Thank you for that. And she's like, yeah, no problem. Here for you always. Chick, yeah.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I talk the least. Once I'm out of here and I'm not on, I shut it down. I think I've just become more separate. I used to just kind of be on, I try to be all the time. But I just have so much of this that I do that when I'm not doing it, I'm all good. I got nothing. And some people misinterpret that, I think, for being not friendly.

Like, if I'm just out and I don't know who's looking at me, if I'm just somewhere like, oh, he didn't seem very friendly. No, I just have nothing to say. I'm just going to be a wallflower and just hang out. But I would say it's all pretty accurate. I mean, except lunch curses more. Amy, chickens it up occasionally. Eddie's pretty much right on.

I chicken it too. I love the chicken. No, we're not talking about cursing. You know what I'm saying? There's no better way to say something than chicken in it. Uh-huh. You know what I mean? Sure.

Chuck that or whatever. Chick that. How did you say? Because I almost said the real word. Oh, my gosh. One of the chicken. There's no drastic difference. Thank you for the email.

Except for you. You're drastic. You are very dressed. It is. It's night and day. Mm-hmm. It's okay. Someone would say ying and yang.

Well, no, that means two. No, no. That's balanced. Yeah, that's not that. Oh. Yeah, we have. I know, but you said, see, there you go. Nobody's real drastic.

And it's like, well, no. But we already addressed that part. I got nothing to say. Once I'm out of here, I got nothing to say. Like even at a. Oh, boy. Okay. At a wedding.

Bobby will just sit in the. corner on his phone. But you're not being rude. You're just like, I'm good. No, that wedding you're talking about, I'd already said hi to everybody. And I was tired, and there was a game on I needed to watch. And so I had done the whole. That's right.

You were watching your game. I forgot. I had done the whole. Oh, yeah. Riggin-Moroy. On his phone. And I said hello to everybody. Hello, hello, hello.

Hello. Hey, good to check and see you again, you know? And I needed to go watch the end of this game. So I went over, far away on a couch, turned my phone, and I watched the end of the game. Thank you. Okay. Man, what the chicken I got to do, right? All right, that's the mailbox.

Thank you. We got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. It's Megan Maroni and my debut album Lucky is out today. One of my favorite tracks on this record is Girl in the Mirror. I think it sends an important message and I think all girls need to hear it. The last line says,

What's a porters? A porter is someone that, like, is cleaning up, like the human poop. Like, is that why a porta potty's called Porter Potty? Are they called Porter Potty? I don't know. They say Mount Everest Porter, so they are the ones that clean up the poop. Got it. They clean up 28,000 pounds of human waste every climbing season.

Why don't they pick up their own poop? people? Yeah. Because we have porters. But where are you going to put it? Like where are you going to take it? They are the ones responsible for collecting it.

And we're just going to let you know I actually had one done, and you talked about being afraid of being hooked up to the machines. There is actually a home sleep study that you can do.

They send you a watch, and you wear the watch to sleep in, and they give you some instructions, and it's really simple, and then you just send it back, and then they call you back with your results. I did that and turns out that I did have a version of sleep apnea and was able to get the right treatment for that. So good luck. Thanks. The option they gave me is they take a shoestring and they put it on your private part real tight and you go to sleep. What? Are you serious?

Mm-hmm. I don't like that. Sounds like a scam. Scam alert. Scam alert. I email my doctor through the portal and I was like, hey, can I get a sleep study? I've heard anything back yet, though. I think it might be sleeping.

Oh. He's taking the test. Must be nice to just be able to sleep. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So there's a scam that's happening where people text you and say hi. And then you're like... Oh, that's called a friend. That's called somebody that has your phone number.

Right, but you're like, hey, what's going on? And then they play the cards, like wrong number. But oh, guess what? I happen to be this investor business guy. They can make a ton of money for you. That wasn't a friend. I'm learning this right now. Send pictures of themselves and they're,

lavish lifestyle. Like, you could have this too kind of crazy that we just connected on the phone. But I mean, it's- People who don't fall for this that are- I have right here. No, no, they did. Yes, but Pete. No, no, Bobby.

People listening to this aren't to people, people, people, people don't people. People listen to the show with the smartest people in the world. They're not going to fall for it. Oh, is that right. Yeah. To listen to the show, this is just really bright people. Okay, according to the FBI in America, there's 3.31 billion a year that is getting lost to stuff like this.

people are getting scammed. And those are the people that report it. The FBI also said, you have to think of the people that are so embarrassed by this that they don't even tell us. Oh, for sure. You wouldn't know if I got done. I would never tell you guys. You wouldn't tell anyone? No, we're not.

So I understand that. Okay. So there's three phases. Here's the rule then. If anybody texts you and says, hey, and it says this is the wrong number and then try to start any conversation whatsoever, get out. Okay. Just get out. Because I know there are ones, too, where girls are like, hey, or they'll do the thing where they're like,

Hey, is this Sabrina? And you're like, no, it's not. Oh, sorry, I was trying to reach her. We're having a party where we're all wearing panties. And then you're like, wait, what? You don't say no to that. See, that's the got to go. That's the one you can't say no.

There are different ones. There are money ones. Where's this party? I'm in. What was just going to say? There's three parts. The high, the connection, and then the, hey, this is my life. You could have it too.

and then the transferring of information and funds. So if those three things are happening to you, run. And it's not actually, the person that's scamming you is not typically the recipient of your money. It's there are people that are stuck in a room that have possibly been trafficked or they're being forced into this type of labor. I know all this. Wow. The only person I give money to online is Coleswindow. A lot of times he asked me for stuff, gift cards to Apple.

And I'm like, absolutely. one of my friends-ish, I want to say, hang out or anything, his name is Samaji. He plays for the Denver Broncos. He messaged me and was like, hey, can I get 500 bucks? I got to do a tax thing,

but when I get it back, 800, I'll give you 800 for the 500. And I went, this ain't real, you play for the Broncos. So I messaged his wife, and I was like, I think Somagia got hacked. She was like, yeah, he can't get me out. You did?

Man. But for a second, I was like, are running backs not getting paid that much anymore? Hard times. That was one where somebody hacked his account and went to his friends and said, hey, can I borrow 500? I'll give you 800. Dang. Wow.

And then I was like, how much gear am I going to get for this 800 or for us 500? Yeah, so it's hard. There are new scams all the time. It is very difficult to know what is and what isn't, especially when it's things that you use Netflix, Amazon, UPS. My Amazon got put on frozen or something. I got a text literally this morning that said your Amazon account is frozen.

No, no, no. That's not real, Amy. That's a scam. Oh, here it is. From Deborah, she said your Amazon account has been locked. Tap to respond. See, here we go. Don't tap. Amy. Amy, you're doing a story on scamming and you're about to fall in a long. It's been scam.

Guys, I'm being sarcastic. I know that that's not real. I'm just showing you all. What else? Okay, the latest trend in parenting is not parenting. Hey! That's what. what I'm talking about. It doesn't mean it's a good idea, Eddie. Oh, okay, okay. Keep going, Amy.

Anyway, Eddie would think that, but it's actually the opposite because Eddie has four kids, and these are the people that choose to have no kids. Uh-oh. Oh, God. Hey! That's not me. That's you. More and more couples are opting to skip what they call the parent trap, and they spend

money on themselves. Parent trap. We've called people like this before dinks or before you have kids, your double income, no kids. Oh, Bobby, dink. Yeah. You're a dink. And the trend is growing at like high child care costs, inflation, all the things.

Mostly it's like, this world sucks. Why don't I want to bring a kid into this stupid world? That being said, I mean, we will eventually. But right, right, right. But right now I'm like, this world blows. Yeah, this whole no parent, that's not good for our, you know, existence. I don't give a crap, I won't be here. Who cares?

You know, somebody will be here. So it will not affect me. I hear you, but eventually I'll be like, all right. But not right now. What else? Luke Cones and his wife are talking about how they're still living a two-bedroom house. They're building a house. Oh, yeah.

They said they'll be moving in a few years. They were doing a live Q&A and they were, they have their one son and they said, well, where's the other son? And I guess the latest baby will be in the room with them. When he outgrows that, he'll go stay in the room with the brother. And they're like, wait, you only have a two-bedroom house? And they're like, yeah, we're pretty basic. Yeah, they're building a house. They're basic right now.

It's a minor detail that's out. Yeah, they're just building a house. Yeah, I mean, she said that their family's planning to move in a few years, which I guess it's probably taking a long time to build. Well, I thought it was known they were building a house. I think, well, I don't know the details. Or maybe they're just buying a house. I don't know.

But yeah, no. They're not just living in a house going, let's make sure we stay like everybody else. They're not like Jake O when he was living in a tiny house. Yes. She said, his wife said, I shared a room with my sister growing up and low-key loved it. Yeah, it's great. And they're a great, great family. But it's not that they're just chilling in a small house to remain humble to their roots.

They're building something else. The governor of Arkansas for a long time lived in the trailer as they built the new renovated mansion. How about that? So it'd be like him going, you know what, the governor of Arkansas. Oh, lives in a trailer. We just living a trailer. Keeping it real. You got to say you're living in a trailer.

While my mansion. While the mansion's being filled. That was Amy's pile of story. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Yeah, I'll make something good. Robin Hicks of Burlington, North Carolina, was cooking some fajitas for dinner. She's like, hey, pass me the fajita mix.

Oh, man, I forgot the fajita mix. All right, let me put the tomatoes on. I forgot the tomatoes. Did she even know she was making fajitas? Yeah, what's she doing? What is she cook? Yeah. I mean, big mess up.

So she's like, I got to go to the store and grab the fajita mix and the tomatoes. So she gets them. And then she's there. She's like, you know what? Let me grab a scratch off real quick. Grab's a scratch off lottery ticket. Gets home. Scratches it.

$250,000. That's why. Wow. Did it say how much the scratch off was? It does not say. It just says Robin was inspired to pick a scratch off lottery ticket. Did those $1, $1,000, win prizes like that? Or do you have to go really like the $10 and $20?

I think you've got to go $5, $10, $20. I think you can win like $500 on a dollar one maybe, but usually you've got to spend money to make money is what they say. And the most that you've ever, well, I don't know about this situation, but yes. You do have to spend money to make money, but you're not going to make money most times. Right. You're going to lose most times. It's for entertainment most.

It's investment. It's a bad one. So what's the most you've won on a scratch-off? $250. What's the most you've won on the lottery where you pick the numbers? Like $60. So your success has been in the scratch-off world. Oh, I think everybody mostly is scratch-off world.

I think it's few. Unless the big, big billion dollars. Right, I think it's few and far between people that get the numbers. More people win by scratch-offs. All these stories we hear are scratch-off, scratch-off, scratch-off. Lunchbox and I once went to McDonald's and bought every single monopoly piece they had. Yeah, we did. Thinking we're about to take to go to the cleaners of the money we're going to make.

Like you bought the floor? All the cups. No, no, we didn't buy anything in the cuffs. We just wanted the cups. What? It was an investment. Because we were going to get boardwalk and park place and we were going to win. Bad investment.

Is that when the scam happened? Well, that's when the documentary came out 10 years later. We're like, no wonder we didn't win. Congrats to her. That's a good story. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
