Well, about, I don't know, a minute from now, Luke Combs. We recorded this interview. I want you to hear it. You haven't heard it yet, so it's not something we've aired before. But here is Myself and Luke Combs, and we recorded this because today his brand new album is out. So if you're a Luke Combs fan, enjoy, and let's start the show. All right, big day today because the new Luke Combs album is out. You know, people wait forever.

for your, here it is. Yeah. And do you go and, I mean, who's telling you if people are loving it equally or more? And who do you trust? Oh, man, the fans for sure is who you listen to. But what they say, we like this one less. Yes. Some of my fans would for sure.

100% they would, yeah. They'd be like, I can't believe this or, you know, it's, and I think that's, you know, I mean, that's the best stuff you can listen to. I mean, you can't let it, you know, really drive your decision making or your songwriting, but it's good when people are honest with you about it. And you can get to a point where it's hard to feel like, you know, it's like almost you get to this point where it's like, let's say I put this album out and it's out today,

and it's the best album I've ever put out, right? Let's say it is. And let's say whoever on my team, it doesn't matter if it's cappy or whoever, they come up and they go, God, dude, this album's great. it's hard to be like it is great because like and not that I don't trust them you know implicitly because I do but then you start to wonder you're like man are they just like pull my leg you know like try to make me feel good you know kind of thing because what if it's not good you know I don't know

I think any I feel like that's the curse of being like a creative person it's like your mind is like way too overactive you know it's like the best thing about what we do and the worst thing about what we do because you're so prone to like second guessing yourself or like wondering if somebody's being real with you or or not you know it's just hard to like trust people's feedback sometimes you know so i find that all you can do is just love you know you have to just love the songs and just trust that you did you know that you did your best i think is the only thing that i put any stock in at this point i got a couple people in my life and in my last book i wrote about how i only trust people to tell me I did good if they've told me I haven't done good.

Sure. And it's a weird way to feel. But I, again, once you get to a certain point, everybody just starts to be nice to you. Sure. Even if it sucks. And so I know that my wife will tell me how exactly how she feels. And sometimes it cuts. Oh, it hurts.

Yeah, because you think in your head, you're like, man, I want people to be honest with me. And then they are. And you're like, that sucks. No more. No more. Yeah. No more. Yeah.

Tell me it's good. Tell me it's good. But then it's like you're doing yourself a disservice at that point. You know what I mean? And so if you have somebody that tells you you suck, you can trust them to tell you that you don't. 100%. So any of these songs on this record,

were they the ones that fell out and you wrote in like 15 minutes? Going, Going Gone was pretty fast. That one was pretty fast. And probably middle of somewhere. That one went really fast too. But just fun. I mean, just it's really like if it's just fun, you know, it's easy to write, you know,

or if you have a really great. Like going, going gone. had such a great riff, like a pronounced thing that we were writing to. I think that one was really great because you're not really worried about anything. You're just like, you're just going. The new album's out today. Growing up, here we go, three big questions. And then we're going to let you go about your merry way because you have so much to do.

By the way, great album. Here we go. Question number one, do you ever go back and hear an old song that you did and go, oh, what was I thinking? That is not a good song. I'm not even asking you to say the song because there are other songwriters involved. But do you ever listen back and go, oh, why did I even really? record that. I don't think anything that's made it on an album, I feel that way

about. It doesn't have to be album. It can be just something when you can go back to an old... Dude, definitely. Oh, all the time. Yeah, absolutely. Like, all the time. But why would you say all the time, like, how can you write a poor song

at this point? I think it's just I don't, and you're always like the day you write it, you know this, it's like, the day you write it, you're so excited about it. Because you're like, you're done with it. I'm never. never gauge a song by how I feel about it when I'm done writing it. It's the next day is the bar.

That's funny you do that because if I write something funny, I almost do it for a month because I can't because I'm so, I'm so associated with being in it and then I lose it while I'm in it. Do you ever lose it while you're in it because you spent so much time inside of it? Yeah. And you're like, I don't even know if this is good anymore. Yeah. And I get like, the next day for me is the thing.

Like I always text the people. I'm like, hey, do you guys listen to that song? And they'll be like, yeah. But we were always high-fiving. Does anyone ever say, hey, it's not that good? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good for that. Yeah, like we'll be like, man, we just, and sometimes that's like, we'll just go and rewrite that thing or change what we don't like about it. So I think you have to be willing to do that too. You know, you have to be willing to, but you always have to, I've always heard that you just, you have to finish a song. Even if it's bad, even if you don't like it, the practice of getting it complete, you know, like if your job was cutting down trees and you got halfway through cutting the tree down, you would never know how to fell a tree because you had never done.

it before. You might be really good at chopping the tree halfway down and then you don't know how to do the rest. So it's like all you songwriters out there, even if you're writing bad songs, you have to just finish them and then move on. Question two is if someone said, hey man, there's a million bucks. I need you to write me a radio hit. You have 30 minutes. Do you think you could do it? 30. Yes. Yes. Love it. All right. Hey my wallet. Let's go. And what would you do? Would you chase just a big melody without a lot of of like depth and, you know, we're going to go, whoa, whoa, a lot of those. I think if it was in that, in that sense, in a 30-minute window.

30 minutes, $1 million, it's got to be a top 10 hit. Melodies, it. Melodies the thing. And claps and crowd. Yeah, melodies, man. Singability, like something that people can sing back to, I think is the biggest thing with any hit, really. Final question. You put out this album today.

Do you feel as good or better about this album? than the other albums that you've put out? Interesting question, man. I feel different about this one. In the sense of it came together over the last two and a half for three years, and it was like all the recording sessions were so spread out and different. It was just a completely different process than the other two, just because of the circumstances of the world at the time that it was made

and all the different sessions that we did. and then the tour came along, so that put the brakes on it, and I didn't do any work on it for the whole tour, because I just couldn't. I just couldn't think about it, because it was like I wouldn't be able to focus on it. So I feel really great about it, but it's just completely different, and it's hard to even gauge it beside the other two

because it was just so completely different. The album's out today, in full transparency. We actually recorded this back in April before Luke's wife and Luke had a baby. And we can air all this, even as I'm about to say, as it is. but I'm just going to say, hey, man, how's the baby? And give me a few responses. Sure. And then we'll highlight the one.

Whichever one happens. Right. So how was it at the hospital? Oh, it was great, man. You know, stressful. Oh, yeah, stressful. Yeah, of course. Give me a second answer in case that's not stressful at all.

Yeah. Oh, it was great, man. It was easy, easy, easy. Wow, good for, oh, look at that. Super easy. Okay, cool. And how has it been back at the house with the baby? It's good.

It's been good. Not a lot of sleep. Okay, cool, yeah. Not a lot of sleep. There's also a population. There's also a possibility that we could not have a baby yet, by the way. Oh, okay. Well, that's, okay.

It's that close. Hey, Luke, where's the baby? Who knows? Okay, there we go. Somewhere. And then do, and this is all playing for audience right here. Do one where you go, I've got tons of sleep. People are so wrong about how hard it is.

Here we go. Here's Luke comes. Man, I've been sleeping great. I don't know what everybody's talking about. Okay. Luke Combs' albums out today. We obviously recorded this back in April. so just man love it love what you do love to see yeah just it's just a big big honest conversation with

you and i can always appreciate that likewise man all right there he is luke combs go go see him stream the music at lukehomes on instagram and we'll be back you know people send us emails they do right hello whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa i didn't just start that out of nowhere i was wondering about that that was one or two and then people write their emails like that some do some don't some are really long and it's like hello lo lo lo lo so just know that's all that's all oh so just know that's on the email. Let's 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 family and I started a small business about five years ago. It's a niche business. There aren't many of us around just yet. We've worked from the ground up. Blood, sweat, tears. We have grown our business, which has just been named Best in the State for its class.

Now, I understand similar businesses are going to pop up. We almost encourage it. We love collaborating with similar companies growing in our industry, but... One of our previous employees is new, now open the same kind of business, in our old location, selling the exact same stuff. Not only that, they copy our social posts, they host the same events. They told everyone, quote, they earned the business to put us out of business. Oh.

Dang. Now we're all getting along with them, but dang, it's annoying. How do we stand out without them piggybacking off us? Do we confront them? Extend the olive branch? We're in a small town. Rumors spread like wildfire, but we want to remain cool. cordial. How do we get the leg up? Help. P.S. Listener since day one. My listener loves it. My daughter loves

a new kid's book. Signed. Small business lady trying to put her stamp on the world. Well, I appreciate that email. I'll tell you a story somewhat similar. We started this radio show a long time ago. This radio show is done a bit different than other radio shows. Not only from how we do it behind the scenes, where I'm the only person that knows what we're going to talk about on the show, to the group of people that's never been on the radio before, to the main host that doesn't have a good radio voice. two, I could just go down the line on how we did everything so different and we were told forever it's not gonna work

and then once it started working and then really started working everybody started copying it. They were like, oh yeah, we always knew that was blueprint for success. It's one after the other little clones of this show would pop up. Even if it's not a straight clone of the show

they'd still segments and change the name just a little bit but over and over and I used to get so upset about that now I just do me I can't control anybody else, can't control what they'd do, what they say, can't control how they react to things, can't control what their bosses tell them,

I just do me, I do the best version of me, I focus on me and us and what I can do for me, us and our families, and that's it, because you don't have enough capacity to worry about this other person. Now, if they're stealing something from you, if they have some inside information, you can sue them. I never sued anybody in my life, but I would if it came to something like that. But I don't think they are, and there's no law against a similar, very similar business. McDonald's say hello to Burger King. Apple, say hello to

you. You can just do it. So, here's the advice I'm going to give you. And not just you, the emailer, but other people that are in a similar situation, professionally, personally. Just do you. It's the only thing you can control. Can't control what they're doing, because they're going to do it regardless of how you feel about it, how much hurt your feelings, how sad you are, how angry

you are. That's it. You control you. You do your best job. Put out your most authentic version of what you're doing. And you will come ahead. especially if you're already good, it sounds like you're killing it right now. So keep doing you. As least as possible, as less as possible, try not to worry about that. I know it's hard.

You are a human being. And be so good at what you do that that is what drives them to go, I don't want to do this anymore. I can't compete against them. So, and they'll quit. They'll lose the end. Do you have me shows that I've had to stomp out from being, I mean, I could list them. Being like, and I would get really competitive. And it didn't matter who was against me.

They were my mortal enemy. Some still are. They don't even know it. They're not in radio anymore and I'm like, ah. Some of that's still gone. Every once in a while, a little head pops up. But just do you. That's it.

Do you, focus on you, do the best you, the end. Because that's all you can do. Other than mandolize in the middle of the night. Don't do that. Oh, wow. Don't do that. And that's it. Close up the mail bag.

We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close. Mail back. Fun fact Friday. My favorite segment. All right. Here we go. Number five.

Number five. So similar to the rings in a tree, your teeth carry a record of stressful times throughout your life. I've been grinding the crap out of mine. I thought of you when I saw this one. So hard. I don't know why.

I don't know what's up. Just recently? I wonder if I grind because I'm happy. Is that a thing? Is it ever been like, wow. You're so happy. I can tell by the rings. your teeth. I don't think so. No. I've got a new mouth guard. My jaws. When I eat sometimes food,

I can't open my mouth all the way because my jaws are so tired. The muscles are. So if you look at my teeth, I'm probably Methuselah. Yeah. Old. That's a Bible reference for some of you. Oldest guy in the Bible. I had no idea what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. Shut up. Number four. Jim Carrey was originally offered the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. He'd have been great. He turned it down to do Bruce Almighty. also good Yeah also good Kind of crazy seeing him as

I mean because Johnny Depp And I feel like Johnny Depp's doing a Jim Carrey impression On Pirates of the Caribbean You do? He's like oh no no Dancing around doing goofy I feel like Johnny Depp's so goofy in that movie Jim Carrey could have easily done that

I think it had been fine And also like Jim Carrey in serious movies Better than goofy ones anyway Yeah And then we'd have just thought of it as a Jim Carrey Would have been like Johnny Depp was up second for this movie But I think I'm into it

I'm reading this book right now by this guy Jim Quick and he said he worked with Jim Carrey on a project and he was speaking somewhere where Jim Carrey was and he went up to him afterwards and was like, hey, I'd like to do some private work with you. He's like, because to do... A weird question is that to go up to somebody and be like, hey, buddy, we... Like one-on-one, I want to hire you as a coach to help me. He's like, I'm about to do dumb and dumber and I need to be... Oh, Jim Carrey asked him. Yes, he goes, I need to be smarter to do my role in dumb and dumber. Yeah, it's really hard to play dumb. It's not, it's easy to be dumb.

it's hard to play dumb because you can't put yourself there because you it's like trying to be short if you're really tall you can't just make your unless you're like bent it's impossible

so you gotta be really smart to be dumb so that being said IQ of 200 lunchbox is that high it's not a thing see what he did there that's a brilliant

that's brilliant timing the guy leaves here and he talks in a British accent and has all the degrees but in this room guy's crushing it All right, next. Number three.

HBO passed on the Walking Dead because they thought it was too violent. It's very violent, though. But HBO has Oz. That's a pretty crazy show back in the day. So they've always been violent. So that's weird that shows like The Wire. And then even now. And it ended up being super successful.

So I bet they were like, dang it. It was my favorite show for 34 years. Like my The Favorite Show. Same, but I have not. I don't know what's been happening. Is it still? No, I think now it's a, current day and everybody's living a happy life.

How boring of a show. All the zombies are dead. People eat all the food groups. The end. All right, next. It would take a person approximately 15 to 18 years to do all the training you'd need to become Batman. Interesting. I guess I don't think of the

training. I think of how rich he is and just think he can buy all that stuff. Yeah, because he has equipment. But I guess he has... Yes, but he also can fight. Okay. But what training? Yeah. Well, he goes away. Remember in that one of the Batman's? Dale. They throw them in a hole. That ain't training. That's life, baby. It goes away.

Okay. I had this whole debate with my wife about Batman. We were watching it. And we turned it on and the new the Batman. And it's really long. She's so analytical about certain things, so emotional about others. And we're watching it. And she's like, what's his superhero power or whatever? I was like, I didn't have one. He was why they call him a superhero. I was like, well, he saves people. Okay, we'll call him a cop. I was like, well, I was like, well, he's not really a cop. but he's a superhero with like Iron Man. What's his power? Well, he's rich.

Okay, call him a cop. And I was like, well, that's a good point, dang it. And she's like, why does he wear that stupid costume? And I was like, what do you mean? He's this superhero. We already said, he's not a superhero. So let's move on from that. He said, but why, like the, it looks like an adult

going to a child's birthday party. Like, why does he have to do that? Like, after all these years, can't they like make it? He's like, more than rubber. And I was like, yeah, it's a movie. She goes, well, it's creepy. They should not do that because he looks like he's trying to get into it like kid's birthday. And I said, she said, why is he a bat? And I was like, I have no idea.

She's like, can he just wear like a black headband or something? And I was like, because he doesn't flap his arms out anymore. That's old school Batman. So why does he still wear the ears? Oh my goodness. This is the discussions you guys have? Yeah, I paused for this. Wow. I was really dialed in. And so I said, uh, yeah, I don't know why he's a bat sonar. She's like, does he use that a lot? I don't think so. She goes, all right. So he's not a superhero. You don't know why he's a bat And he wears like a creepy adult Costume out solving crime

I was like yeah, yeah, yeah She's like, all right, you can hit play I was like, all right, cool We didn't watch Spider-Man anything after that But that was kind of how that went down there Alright next Number one Sour Patch Kids are from the same

manufacturer as Swedish fish So the red Sour Patch kids Are the same exact candy A Swedish fish, they just got sugar on them I don't know there's a worse candy than Swedish fish though That's like when they get old people who want candy but don't can't really have real candy. Yeah, because it's not even sweet really. It's not.

Oh, but people that love them, love them. Like I used to have little wrestling men that were rubber. Same thing as sweetest fish, same factory. I had those guys too. Yeah, same, same thing. Swedish fish are terrible. I don't hate them. Oh.

But it's like not real candy. But I also love Bidot honey. I guess I'm not hard to please. I don't like Bidot-O-Honey, but that's because I don't like Bidot-O-Honey. Swedish fish, I have no feeling about whatsoever. because it's just stupid. Wow. There you go.

Yeah. But next time you're eating a sour patch kid, just know you're eating the red ones you're eating a Swedish fish dipped in sugar. I'll be honest with you. As soon as this segment's over, I'll never remember this. You might.

Okay, there you go. Fun fact Friday. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. All right, so I want to tell you this story about a Kansas teenager that's doing something pretty simple.

but making people feel super special. So everyone around the country can take notes and try to do this. Shout out to Caleb Kelly Jones, who was looking for a way to just give back to his community. He noticed the janitors at his school weren't really getting the type of appreciation

they deserve and they worked so hard. So he rallied his family and friends and they made a bunch of cookies. And he straight up, showed up to the janitors with all the cookies. And he had a card signed by every single student, every teacher, every administrator at the school, the custodians were completely blown away by the kind gesture and it totally made their day. And I thought, this is such a doable, simple thing as a way to say

thank you to people that work so hard. Well, and I would bet you that's a pretty underappreciated job. The amount of work that goes in, the amount of respect they probably don't get because you don't see the amount of work that goes in. So I like it. And again, it's somebody appreciating somebody who probably doesn't feel the appreciation enough. If I were to equate that to somebody on the show, I'd say probably like me. You guys should appreciate. Do you want cookies in a card? We'll get you some.

I always want cookies in a card. Who doesn't want cookies in a card? That's an awesome story. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. We got a new champion. Eddie's back. Yay! Here I am.

Hey, lunch loss was tough at the end there. He was. Good run, lunch. Yeah, dude. Good lunch, buddy. You're so close. All right. That's wrong with, self-tivity.

All right, let's play a couple of voicemails here. This first one is about a scam on our Facebook page. Ray, play that one, please. Hi, I'm just calling because I almost fell for a scam that a Deborah Headley is posting on Facebook with your show to give people $1,500 in cash app, but you have to pay $50 first to get it. So I just wanted you to be aware of the scam

so maybe you guys can shut her down. I love your show. I love you guys. Thanks so much for being on the air. I enjoy you every day. Hey, thanks. And thanks for the heads up. Just as a heads up to everybody else, regardless if it's our page or anywhere else in social media, never pay anybody anything to get something. If they're like, hey, I'll give you this, but you have to pay this. Never. It's always a scam. The only time that you pay somebody to get something that's not a scam is when you're actually buying something from a reputable source, like a store. You know? So, Morgan, do they put, I assume because we have a big following, there's a lot of this crap. Oh my gosh. There's so many scams.

our page like three times a day trying to ban these people and shut them down. But of course there's going to be something that fall through the cracks. So just be vigilant to not fall for it. Don't pay for anything on our page. Man, I saw an investment that looked pretty good on that page. Oh yeah, what was it? It was like $5,000. And then there were some testimonies like, yeah, I did that and it worked underneath that. Wow. That's crazy. Simit a link. Okay. All right, here is one more. This is Sandra. I would like for you to give a shout out to the Pawlka City Police Department because we had a near drowning at my three-year-old granddaughter, and they saved her life.

That's awesome. So, Palak City Police Department, it's like a tell me something good here. Jumped in, saved her. Pretty cool. Monday's show, Eddie's going to try to be a lifeguard. I don't know if you guys have heard of yet. He's going to go take the physical test. It's been a while since I've done something like that.

Been a while since you saved you got? Oh, three bones, total. Yeah. Come on. Three total. That's Monday show. The Bible Show. Here's Amy's Pile of Stories.

A new study. found that women need more downtime on weekends more than men do. The new study was done by women who put the study out. Yes, go ahead. So in general, weekends is when, you know, we have the least amount of stress. Everybody deserves a little bit of downtime. But there's a major dramatic shift for women because women juggle more things throughout the week and they don't have as much downtime in general.

So it is important for you to kick back, relax on the weekends. They say it's essential here. Well, if the story in the pile, we know must live it. We must go live it in our lives. Take this home to your men. All right. What else? If you've always been a bad dancer, you can officially blame it on your parents because

another study was done about this. And it's partly down to your genetics, whether or not you can move on the dance floor. Sure. It's rhythm. It's hand-eye coordination. I would say it's all genetics. As far as what you can do naturally, if you're a fast runner, probably your parents were pretty fast runners.

Anything we do physically. Yeah, the study, even went into playing the drums or rhythm guitar. There's work that takes to get better, but just being natural at something is almost all just coming from your parents or your grandparents. I know. And what's a bummer is that my sister is a really good dancer and then I'm not. You'll admit that.

Oh, I know I'm not good. I've even tried. So Shira, my daughter, did a dance camp the other day and I had to help her with a dance and it was brutal. Like brutal. Did you see Justin Timberlake like dance recently? No. He was dancing on stage and it was like,

And I thought he was kidding, but the internet was like, oh, Timberlakes lost it all. He's lost all swag. He was doing sexy back? He was dancing to one of his songs. How could he lose it? He can't lose it. I saw it, and it's tough. They look like me down dancing with the start.

It's tough. All right, what else? Well, speaking of you being on TV, I saw that Snake in the Grass, your TV show on USA Network, officially is premiering on Monday, August 1st, at 11 Easter 10 Central. Yeah, 11 Easter. It's a holiday. Oh, I said Easter. Snake in the grass.

I didn't know it was coming on so late. At night? Yeah, 11, 10 Central. Yeah, I had no idea. It's after USA's biggest show, which is wrestling. And then I think it goes on Peacock immediately, like the next day. So USA, because I'm going to be honest with you, I don't stay up that late. I don't sell 10 o'clock.

But I'm glad it's on a weeknight, so at least I can tell the audience. Hey, tonight's the show. Yeah. So, but August 1st, the show airs. It's a really cool show. Who's seen it? Not me. You haven't seen it yet?

You haven't sent me one. You didn't send it. It's a really cool show. It's like a old, like a who-dunit. You've got to figure out who's the snake the whole time. But there's, I don't want to run too much of it. What does it say in the press release there? Okay, I can say what it does.

Yeah, go on. Okay, this action-packed social experiment is hosted by. Yeah, it's a social experiment. That's what it is. You're like judging people and how they react to situations. Hey, she was about to say who is hosted by. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hosted by National Radio and Television Personality, Bobby Bones. Each episode.

will feature four players who are dropped in the wild for 36 hours with a chance to win $100,000. In order to win, the four must figure out which one of them is the snake. And each episode self-contains, you don't have to follow along. Are these players celebrities? Some are. Yeah, some are like, I can say now, we did one with all old survivor contestants. Oh, cool. Now, question.

Amazing race contestants. From all over the country, yeah. Go ahead. The $100,000. If the snake... The snake gets it all. off, he tricks them. Okay, but if they figure it out.

If they figure out who the snake is. And the snake is none? None. Oh. You like that? Yeah. I do like that. Yeah.

It's good because, again, it's just an episode. It's shot really cool. It's different. I guess people will compare it to Survivor just because we're in the jungle. There's no surviving. You're in the remote and rugged Central American jungle. Yeah, it sucked. So that.

They call it the snake pit. Wait, but you didn't compete. No, but I was there longer than they were. I had to shoot all the crap. be in every challenge. Oh, man. Listen, there's, whoa, there's reality TV legends from Survivor, Big Brother, naked and Afraid?

Yeah, I just, I just, I mean, I said Survivor. You said Survivor. You did not say, naked. Sorry, he didn't say naked and afraid because, guess what, we don't know who anybody is from naked and afraid. I don't know anybody was. Oh, that shows crazy. They did the whole show naked, though.

No, they didn't, thank God. All right, well, thank you. August 1st, that show premieres on USA. I hope you guys watch it. Yeah. And that's all. All right, Amy. I'm Amy.

That's my pile. That was Amy's My Pile. of stories. Come on! It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Miles Copeland is 25 years old

and his day job. He's a firefighter, so he fights fire, saves lives, but he's also a semi-pro basketball player, so he fights fires, gets done. Oh, I got a game today. Goes to the game. He's playing, run up down the court. All of a sudden, 61-year-old referee,

boom! Passes out, falls face down onto the court. Well, guess what? Miles said, firefighter runs over there. Who, who, who, who, who. Chest compressions, not for one minute, not two minutes, not three, four, five, ten minutes. He did chest compressions.

He's going to count the whole way, guys. I'll be honest with you. He's going to do it all the seconds. All the sound. He's going to do it. 22, not 23. Yeah. 10 minutes later, brought him back to life.

Wow. That's awesome. Just to hang into it. Like, how long do you hang? I mean. Do you hang until some, like, a doctor gets there and goes, yes, or I don't know. Because you hear like 10 minutes, I'd be like, all right, 20 seconds, I'm tired, and I don't know, this guy's not going to work out.

He lost him. Yeah, we lost him. Oh, gosh. He's still somewhat breathing and his eyes are opening in the guys he's done. Put a towel over him. But that's, to do that for 10 minutes and to have those skills and to use them pretty awesome. And so the ref, you know, woke up and he was like, oh, fell on him. No, foul, technical. He said, oh, do I need to finish ref in the game?

But they took him in the hospital and he had open heart surgery to him. Wow, he did. Yeah. He had a blockage. Boom, but he's okay. That's crazy. Those blockages are crazy because you can't see them, right? We have somebody that's close to us that had a blockage

and all of a sudden was feeling really sick. Smash cut in the hospital having full heart surgery. Crazy. You can't see them. Don't you wonder inside of your body right now? I know. It's like what's wrong in me right now? It's not like you can just go pay to have it looked at.

I mean, I guess you could have to have a lot of money. There are places you can go? But you have to pay a lot of money. Oh, yeah. I've only heard of these places. I have a friend that's like, I want to go to this place. I'm going to fly to San Diego. and they go over every inch of your body

and they tell you everything that's wrong with you. That sounds awesome. Or terrible. I want someone to tell me everything that's right with me. Yeah, I need something in the middle. Oh, really? I mean, I didn't mix. Like, for everything you find wrong,

I need something really great. Yeah. Because otherwise, I'll be really sad. Great story lunchbox. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right, if you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company, you know the drill.
