Hello, welcome to Friday show. Morning studio. Morning! So Luke Combs will be in later. He's going to do like 45 minutes. with us just hanging out. That'll be fun. We're going to talk about funerals in a second, but not in a bad way. But I want to go to Amy because this is the story that inspired they get to know you question. All right, go ahead. I saw someone talk about how after their funeral they want, like one of their friends to be in charge of having their phone

and sending out a text to everybody that came from their number that says, hey, thanks for coming today. That's funny. So that like after they've died, like people are like, wait, what? They're not dead. Yeah, you're sending a text from beyond, thanking them for coming to your funeral. And, like, they're pre-arranging that with a friend. I like it. Do this for me.

So the question is, what do you want at your funeral? It doesn't matter what it is. They get to know you question. What do you want at your funeral? I'll go first, I wouldn't mind a candy bar. Not a candy bar, like one word, like a candy bar. Oh, I was picturing like a big kick. Not like a big subway, six-foot cup subway.

I'm talking about, like, different, like, boxes of candy and there are scoopers in each of them so people don't put their hands in there. And they have a cup and they can get whatever candy they want on the way out. But also, I'm dead. So I don't care. So it's not really about you. I know. I love candy. I love sugar.

So let everybody have some chocolate, some candy. No peanut butter, though. No rhesus. I hate peanut butter. So no peanut butter. But I would have a candy, like, different sections and people can get whatever candy they want from the bar. That would be fun.

But have someone watch lunchboxes. He only gets to go once. Thank you. Because he would take, like, a bucket for his kids. Well, what about all the kids? Can they take one? No kids are invited. Oh, no kids at all?

It's like the wedding, no kids. Oh, man. Kids can't come to the funeral? I hope we can find a babysitter. No, no kids. If you didn't, okay, what do you care? Well, we're making rules right now. If you didn't know me and you're just a kid of somebody who knew me, you're not invited.

Okay, so. If you knew me. But our kids know you. Yes. Yes. Yeah, because I feel like my kids would be like, I'm not invited to the funeral. They'd be offended, man. But also, my daughter, they were in your wedding, so they were good.

Correct. You get a free pass if you're in the wedding, too. But you probably won't be kids then. At least I hope not. Okay. All right, Amy, what do you have? Okay, so I think it would be really fun to have karaoke. During the funeral?

Yeah. While we're crying? Well, I mean. It's a love shack, baby. I get love shack. But you treat it sort of like a sing-along because I don't know that everybody would get to get up there, but it's sort of like. It got me at Chrysler.

It's as big as a well. It's about to set sail. Yeah, just something fun for everybody to get up there. Microphones, sing along. It would be weird to be the first one. They'll be like, yeah, I'll do it. You have been giving you permission. It's what I want.

Like over the body. And like you sing all my favorite songs. Okay. Those are sad though. All George Strait. Amy wants karaoke. Lunchbox. Oh, I want an open bar and I want a DJ.

I wanted to just be like you're out of the night at the bar like I used to do. I used to run the streets. And I want people to have a good time. When does the DJ play though? Is it like under people while they talk like sad music and then freak and freak and scratch to the next? person walking up to speak or like when does it play music that's a good question i never thought about the how the flow would go i didn't you know like when you're at a bar it's always playing and people are having to talk over the music and it doesn't have to be too loud because a lot of people

on my funeral will be older and you won't want the music as loud as you used to you know want to have a conversation but just to you know get that environment with it when you're drinking at the bar you want music playing and i mean if a couple poles pop up that's cool too so Maybe, though, it's pre and post with the DJ, but he just runs some music underneath. And the dancer's probably after the kids leave. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Do they pay the respects?

It becomes... Then you pay your dollars. Yeah, 18 and up at like 5 p.m. Is it going to be at a bar, lunchbox, or is it going to be a church? I'll probably be at a church. Yeah, of course. Eddie? Oh, a reggae band, for sure.

A reggae band. And I want to do mine on the beach. So, like, they could just take me... Are you in sand? From wherever I am and just throw him in the water. There he goes. He's gone to, baby, don't worry. Wait, they should probably drive you out somewhere in the water,

like boat you and then drop you off, not just toss you in the water. Or else I just keep going back. You'll keep coming back in. The waves keep throwing you on. Eddie's back. Oh, I was picturing you cremated. Nah, just throw my body out there. Let me float.

No, no, take your body. Or do the Viking funeral where they put you on a thing and they send you out, then someone shoots the arrow with a fire on it up in the air, and it lands on your boat and pff. That's awesome. Okay, I didn't think about that. That'd be pretty cool. That sounds cool.

We got a DJ, we got a Viking funeral. We got karaoke. We got a candy bar. Let's go. Glad you guys are here. Again, Luke Combs coming up in a little bit. Let's open up the mailbag. You send in email and we read it all the air.

It's something we call Bobby Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I went to have lunch with my sister. She brought along my three-year-old nephew, her kid. He ended up throwing a massive tantrum. He didn't like the mill. It was very embarrassing. There were only two other customers in the rush.

They looked bothered. I felt so sorry that I offered to pay for their meal. They said, thank you. My sister didn't like it at all. They offered to pay for their lunch. She says, I was implying she was wrong somehow. Or if I had to pay for her failings as a mother. And that it wasn't my place to make such an offer on behalf of her child.

Am I in the wrong here? Signed the cool uncle. Got it. So it's her brother, the mom's brother. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. I never would have thought of it in the way of you're paying for people's meal because I suck as a mom.

Yeah. I do understand how someone would have feel that way. But I would have never thought about it like that. What if the mom just takes the kid outside when the kids being bad? But then you'll never eat. Okay, well, then. You'll never eat. It's hard to just take a kid to a restaurant.

And I understand. Right, but if he starts to get mouthy or yelly or screaming or cry, just take him outside for a minute. Right? Yeah. I think it's actually cool of the uncle that he did this. Oh, I'm okay with it too. You know what I mean? I'm just saying I'm trying to find reasons the uncle can feel okay about it.

Because she could have taken him outside if he's really out of control, right? You don't just let him be, do you? Well, there's only two people in the restaurant. I think I'd be like, hey, man, let it rip. There's only two people here. Yeah. Okay. Now, if there's a full restaurant, I'd be like, guys, you're embarrassing.

Like, let's stop. I think the uncle, bro, I think you're fine. I think it's a good move. Nobody got hurt. You didn't. purposefully insult her. I think she's finding a reason to feel insulted. Maybe she feels insecure because your kid's bad.

Or maybe not bad. You got to say that's not bad. So he understands, though, like, as parents, we don't really see that as kind of like, we don't get embarrassed about that because we're, like, there all the time. Kids, they just don't really sit at a table for very long, and it's kind of, they're not good at restaurants. But I get it. Like, when my brother or sister are with us, they're like, oh, my gosh, it's so embarrassing. Because they're not used to it.

It's their insecurities. Don't feel bad. You did not, there was no bad intention. Those people probably thought it was nice. And they didn't leave going, man, that was a terrible experience. They probably thought, well, that was kind of annoying. But we got her mail paid for. So that's good.

Yeah, that's tough. And then affirm your sister. She's a good mom. If she is. She may not. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close. Bobby's mail pack.

Yeah. It's time for Fun fact Friday. Fun fact Friday. All right, bring me the fun facts. I'll start. You know the song from John Denver? Take me home. Country roads to the place I belong.

Next word. West Virginia. Boom. It was written about Maryland. My mama. Maryland. But the writers changed the lyrics to West Virginia because they thought it sounded more poetic. Take me home.

Country roads to the place I belong. Maryland. Maryland. We have to do that, yeah. Maryland. West Virginia is definitely better. You know they were. We're doing exactly what we're doing right down in that studio.

They're like, okay, sing it again. Maryland. It just doesn't feel right. If you're doing an extra syllable. Merri, how about Mississippi? That's too long. South Dakota. South Dakota.

Yeah. That's better. That's okay. That's okay. What do we have that's like near us, so? North Carolina. What about closer to north? That sounds the same.

South Carolina? South Carolina. Maybe you go. How about West Virginia? West Virginia. That's it. Oh my gosh. That's perfect.

That's it. That's it. That's it. West Virginia. What if we did city and. say Atlanta, Georgia. No, we're almost, we got it. There's no country roads in Atlanta, Georgia.

Yeah, that's a city. We've already stopped writing. We were on the next song. Okay, sorry, I was trying. Yeah, yeah. Amy? Okay, the longest English word is 189,819 letters long. Okay, that's just somebody.

What is it? Here's why. It makes sense. First of all, it'll take you three hours to pronounce if you try, but it's the chemical name for the largest known protein, so things keep getting added together. So it's not like they were trying to be. ridiculous to come up with something. It's a chemical composition.

I'm still going to vote ridiculous. But it's the largest non-protein. Prove it. I can't say it or we'd be here for three hours. Why do they put that in the song? Calm and I'm a snow,alia. It'd be too long with song. It'll be a long lunchbox.

Both the North American Eastern Painted Turtle and the Australian Fitzroy River Turtle breathe out their butt instead of their mouth. I thought all turtles breathe out their butt. Apparently I do that when I sleep. This is a way to. serve energy during hibernation so they use their butt to breathe instead of their mouth. Ah, that's awesome. Yeah, you just fart.

It was different. You want to sleeping? Yeah, yeah. I wonder if the breath, though, smells different. Of course it does. From the turtle, the painted turtle. Nothing good is going to come out of that end. Eddie?

Do you know those metal studs in your blue jeans? The little things, like the little nipple things? Yeah, everyone has them in their blue jeans. They're called rivets. And what they're for is to support these little areas in your jeans. that are like really easy to tear right outside your pocket. So there's a purpose. Yeah. They do it for support.

Well, then what's the purpose to a little bit of pocket? Oh, for watches. Is that true? Yeah. Watch it. I wear my watch. No, no. Back in the day, a little pocket watch. Well, what's the purpose now? They just, it's the design continued to stay there. It's like that's what I don't need pay phones, Eddie.

I'm like 99.9% sure it was originally there for watches. Oh, no. No, no. No, no. True. That's true. That's good job. Good job, though. No problem. For knowing that. Morgan. All right, NFL Super Bowl referees also get Super Bowl rings.

Because only the top referees, like, AKA ones with good reputations and records, are selected to officiate in the big game. So they, in turn, get a Super Bowl ring. Wait, but it doesn't matter who wins? No, the refs didn't lose. Yeah, wow, okay. So they get a Super Bowl ring that probably just says Super Bowl, whatever, but without the team, or maybe both teams on it. That's pretty cool, man. Is that the same kind of clout when you go to a bar and you be like,

I check out my Super Bowl ring. Oh, wow, you play it? No, no, no, I was a ref. Do they have to? That's cooler maybe. Think? Unless you're like a store. I don't know. Because some of them have multiple.

They've appreciated in multiple games. That's pretty cool. What do you see? I don't know. I just started to wonder, like, then do they have to pay any sort of taxes on it or something? Well, they have to, yes. It's a gift. So yes.

But refs at that level, they probably make a lot. To have to pay taxes on something that's going to do you? Because you know I choose not to take it if it's that big of a burden. Or you can sell it. St. Louis hosted the, Third Olympics, which were in 1904, these Olympics lasted five months. First of all, five months. Why? And only, well, it was 1904, bro. Oh. And only 11 other countries sent athletes, so we dominated. We had 231 medals. Germany had 15.

The third Olympics was that, that wasn't that long ago. St. Louis hosted the third Olympics, which were in 1904. Whenever we talk about, like, the first Olympics being in Athens, Greece, I was thinking, like, the Roman gods are playing those things. Well, the Roman gods aren't real. But secondly, I think probably like the sanctioned Olympics agreed upon by countries other than just, do you know why a marathon's a marathon? Because it was 26.2 miles away. They were sending a message back. And whenever the guy ran back with the message and gave it, he died.

His run was 26.2 miles to deliver the message. That was Paul Revere? No, my God. Yeah, but that was the distance, right, of how far he had to go to. To run from, to take the message. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

We're out of here. Fun fact, Friday. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Grant Garland, he's a mechanic at the police department, and recently he's been having some health issues. He's had kidney failure. And the doctor's like, it's okay.

Let's just hold off, hold off. It's okay. We may come back. We may be able to fix it. Then finally the doctor says, you know what? You need a kidney transplant. So Grant's like, oh, what do I do? I don't have anyone that I know that can give me a kidney transplant.

plan. So he goes to social media, puts it up there. And one of his co-workers, it's a detective. His name is Rich Wobble. He works in the police department. He goes, I don't know this mechanic, but this is crazy. He needs a kidney. Let me get it checked out. He goes, gets tested. He's a match. And now the mechanic has the detective's kidney in him. And they never knew each other. That's a weird way to say it. Well, what do you mean? I'm going to say that's a weird way to say. I like it. I understand it. Weird way to say it. I got you. That's what he has, man. He has his kidney in there. and they never knew each other, and now they're best of friends.

Hang out all the time. You ever think, because sometimes people will talk to the mom as belly with the baby, and they're like, hey, little baby, how you doing? Like, the mechanic goes out or, you know, hey, so kidding, you miss you. How's my kidney doing it?

I mean, dude, you've had that kidney your whole life. And all of a sudden, it's in your co-workers. Like, that'd be like if my kidney, I give it to Amy, and every day I see Amy, I'm like, wow, my kidney's in her right now. Weird to say it that way. That is weird.

It is what it is, boys. And you wish that could have been you, huh? I mean, one day I would like to donate a kidney. Yes. Or part of your liver. The liver seems easier, right? Because it regenerates. Yeah, it grows real quick.

You're just mouthy right now. You don't say stuff like this. What do you mean? One day I want to do it, but this one seems easier. Because you're still not going to do that one either. I am an organ donor. But you're dead then. Right.

Right. So that is your way to donate. He says one day, it could be when he's dead. That's my technicality. But yeah, but you're also getting older. So your kidneys aren't as valuable the older you get. Kid organs. Yeah, but I mean, I feel like once my kids have like gotten married and like they're out of the house.

Then the surgery is going to be harder on you and you're going to go, I probably can't even get through that surgery and through the rehab. Because now's the time. Right now? Yeah. Currently. Yeah. You've been saying it for a while. It even says in this story that his wife said, don't do it.

The detective's like, no, I'm going to do it because my wife has told me don't do it. Why he gets his car fix free too? from the mechanic for life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's awesome. That's 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 which I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that

not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

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 Landry, Landry, from 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 gotta go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. 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 having its own program. 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. 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

like Inya's often soothing or Adele cold play but this is one particular song Bob Marley is what you do while you listen to it Oh for sure Any Bob Marley song Oh always yeah no this is called waitless Wait so you're telling me chill and sleep is not the same Don't you want to get so chill that you fall asleep?

No Like if it's 5 o'clock in the afternoon I want to chill I don't want to sleep I go to bed at 10th Man to me it's the same thing It's a good point though because if you fall asleep you can't go to sleep later Right. But if you want to just chill so hard, don't you fall asleep if you chill so hard.

Yes. Really? You guys never just chill in the afternoon? I can't chill anyway. I hate it. Like, what do you do? Just sit there? Sit there, watch TV, chill, man.

Look at the backyard. I'm broken. The backyard's cool. That's a good place to chill. It's a great place to chill. Bobby, repeat after me. You're not broken. I'm broken.

You're different. Okay, what else? So this girl that works at a jewelry store, she says she knows when a guy is cheating. if he's in there shopping, like there's these signs that you'll tell her right away. I'm looking for something for my mistress. I can say that. That's it. How about that?

Yeah, that's what I would say, number one. No, she said one of the first signs is if he's buying two separate pieces of jewelry. Like, and he says, hey, can you put those in two different boxes? She says that that's a sign. Well, what it went for your mom or something. Or if you get two, I get the two pieces of jewelry. Maybe I would say two different bags. But two different boxes, I think you would do that with two pieces of jewelry.

You don't cram it all in one box. Two different bags is a good point. Yeah, two different bags. Can you put that two different bags? Can you mark them plainly? Number one or number two? Yeah, she said it just all boils down to how he spends the money in the store. And like oftentimes if you're getting two pieces of jewelry and it's for the same person,

you kind of maybe the earrings go with the necklace or something like that. But it would be two totally separate pieces. I bet you people that work in the jewelry industry, restaurant industry, hotel industry. Oh, for sure. Like they can definitely tell who's, you. up to no good. Yeah. I had a neighbor that worked at a hotel once.

Saw the other neighbor there. And what was his wife? Why would the other neighbor go to the hotel where his neighbor were? He didn't know that she worked there. Really? They said hi to each other? He checked in. Man, you know when they made eye contact?

That was not a good one. All right, what else? Reba McIntyre was talking to the Dallas Morning News about how if she were to try to become a star today with how things are, she would have never made it out of Oklahoma because of the confidence and talent that is coming through. She's a coach on the voice, so she sees a lot of what

is out there talent-wise. And she's like, they just basically been doing this since they were born and they are so confident and talented in front of the camera. And she just never would have had that, so she wouldn't have made it. Well, kids now have a camera at four. It's called a phone. True. So you get to perform in front of the camera

from a very, very young age, which actually wasn't the case, even when we were younger with cell phones. All right, Amy. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Courtney Crawford works at a Starbucks in Little Rock, Arkansas.

She works the early shift, and she always tries to be in a good mood, shipper, happy to see people. And so this lady comes in at 5 a.m., orders of coffee, and it's kind of grumpy and groggy. But Courtney's extra nice. And when the lady leaves, she leaves a $200 tip and says, you were the first. face I saw this morning and you really brightened my day. Groggy at 5 a.m. That's cool. Wow.

That's really cool. Groggy at 5 a.m. She was groggy. The customer was groggy and kind of in a bad mood. Oh, she was signing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Her name, Groggy at 5 a.m. I didn't understand why it was written in there, but I signed Groggy at 5 a.m.

But Courtney wants her to know how much it changed her life because her mom died of cancer last year and she hadn't been able to afford an urn to put her ashes in. So with that money, she bought an urn, and she was so excited because she got to spend Mother's Day with her mom. In an urn. Wow. From the $200. I don't know how to feel. I'll be honest with you.

I got all these. My emotions are very contradictory right now. A lot of layers of the story. Shout out, girl, I get 5 a.m. Makes me feel good. I'm sad. Her mom died. Makes me feel bad.

Courtney. But she gets to now have her mom with her in and earn. It gets to have her mom with her. It makes me feel good. But in an urn. So where was her mom before the urn? Just in a bag. Makes me feel bad again.

I'm losing three to two. Yeah, yeah. But she said, if that lady is out there, I'd love to reunite with her or just let her know how much she changed my life, that $200. That feels like me back at Dunkin' Donuts. When people would come in, I'd work the early shift, how'd you try to be so happy. Some people didn't like it. Oh, they didn't want their groginess to be met with chipperness. Right.

They want a groggy on groggy. You know what I mean? The drive-thru is packed. And people get up to the one guy who's come up this morning. Hey, good morning. you doing today? What can I get for you? Grumpy jerk goes, slow. You need help.

That's the guy of the thing that you do. And he's like 40 years old, so I told him, well, we're hiring. And he goes, no, and I don't need smart-ass comments from you. Do I need to talk to the manager? See, I would not do that people with my food. You can spit in his food very easily. I know. He goes, do I need to talk to your manager? I said, I don't think so. What can I get for you today? Oh, boy. You would be a lot in the morning, though.

He is a lot in the morning. Oh, gosh. He's a lot right now. This guy's an idiot, though. Don't ever argue with people that have control of your food. Did he then buy food? Yeah, I didn't buy food. Did you do anything to it? No, no, I didn't do anything to do anything to.

I was never like that. But hey, he could have talked to my manager. Manager, you were tight. You and the manager, homies? Those were high fives. He was my old baseball coach, man. Not, no teeth keys. Got it.

That did his buck twist. Okay, great job. To the groggy at 5 a.m. This is for you. That's 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 Clifers Show.
