Morning studio. Morning.

Later on, Abby, our producer, phone screener, she does it all. She's also learned how to play guitar in the last few months. to do her guitar recital. We've not heard her play guitar and sing. Her recital will be on the show. I'm so excited. But now we go around the room and share our favorite news story that we found today, this week, whatever. And I'll start. And I'm going to say this. It's not a warning to parents, so there's no need to do anything. But I'm going to talk about the tooth fairy. And I'm not going to say anything you don't want me to say. Oh, okay, good. Right. It's amazing. In case they're a little ears. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I do want to tell a story about the tooth fairy. And this comes from the

Wall Street Journal, a specific instance with the tooth fairy. One of her daughters. One of daughter lost her first baby tooth. Kikoa Lawson said the tooth fairy left her daughter a $100 bill. Oh my goodness. And that her daughter freaked out. I was like, wow, that's the craziest thing ever. And that story kind of went viral because I guess the tooth fairy is feeling very generous that day. And then other stories of the tooth fairy leaving Louis Vuitton bracelets.

Oh. Yeah, wow. Massive amounts of cash. And how the tooth fairy video games, how the tooth fairy has started in some places. to give away more. Yeah. How do we feel about the tooth fairy in selective places

being so generous? So generous. Yeah, I don't like that. That is insane. Yeah, really, tooth fairy is going out of control. Yeah, because the tooth fairy, I mean, you can't discriminate by where you live. Live and stuff.

That's bad. But I don't think you can say it's discrimination. Well, yeah. The tooth fairy is not making a decision based on anyone else. They're only making a decision based on the kid in that house. That means the tooth fairy likes other kids more than

No we're not doing discrimination because Maybe it's what the parents ask for when they talk to the tooth fairy. I've never met the tooth fairy. I don't know. Have you? That is wild of the tooth fairy And it doesn't set a good example. No, not at all.

So Tooth Fairy, if you're listening. But I don't think it's discrimination, guys. It's not. It's not. Amy, what do you have? Graney panties are back in style. No, they're not. I have some on today.

Thank you for bringing it out. Yeah. Yeah, celebs like Drew Barrymore, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Dakota Johnson. They've all been showing off. They're probably more comfortable, what they call boomer-like panties. I mean, are they more comfortable? I would think so. I'm sure.

I don't know. They don't crawl up spaces. String bikini is pretty good. Yeah, no. In your opinion, but they're bringing it back. Yeah, probably because a lot of them have underwear lines. Yeah, that's how you can tell. Yeah, like they're selling underwear.

No, no, no, because they're selling underwear. So they're selling a different kind of underwear now that isn't selling that well. Gotcha. So they're going, it's cool. Well, whatever. I'm here for it. Good. Yeah, keep that to yourself.

Watchbox. There was a woman in England reported missing. Police responder apartment. They look. Search party goes out. Helicopters. But two cops. I were here.

I might as well catch them on Netflix. Sat there in her apartment. Watch Netflix for four hours. Wow. And one of them. picked up the dumbbells and worked out. Yeah, nice. They were just chilling at the house when they should have been looking.

They were in her house. Yeah, in her apartment. They were fined her? Yeah, 11 hours later. And when she got back home, she reviewed security footage. And that's how she saw them watching Netflix. Where was she? She had a mental health crisis.

So, okay, so something did happen to her. Yeah. And the cops just, working out too. They're sitting on the couch just looking through Netflix. Who would you hire to be a police officer? Again, these two guys or the guys that were prank calling other cops saying there's a dead body. Prant callers.

Prank callers. They're probably good cops. They're just a little immature. And a little bored right there. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right.

Eddie. All right. This is from Nashville. I thought this was really cool. So the city is doing something for local musicians. And the headline was, musicians in Nashville get free parking. And I was like, ooh, I'm a musician, but it's not the case.

So a lot of musicians in town go downtown and play gigs. But they pay like $20, $30 for parking. So the city's now going to charge them 60% discount or going to give them it a 6% discount and so now their parking is like $4 instead of 10. How do they prove it? Their guitar probably. So if I park with guitar, I don't have to play

that's why I'm all good. That's what I'm saying. I think they have to apply like, hey, I'm a musician and whatever. Here's my tag or whatever. Just a picture of you playing guitar. No, no, no, no, no. Here I'm here. Look, I'm only guitar right here. Promise. I thought this is cool, though, because in a lot of cities, like, if people work downtown and the parking downtown is expensive everywhere.

So that's cool. Then they should do it for other people that work downtown. Right. Comedians. True. Magicians. Well, I was thinking like bartenders. Oh, bar tenders. All right, let's go.

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 want some serious cash on the Super Bowl, but my wife has no clue. She thought I was just really end of the game. What she doesn't know is that I ended up winning thousands and thousands of dollars. I'm not normally a big gambler, but I had a big feeling on this one.

Here's my question, as much as I want to tell her about my windfall, I think it's a better move to keep it quiet. Even with the amount I won, she'll be furious that I risked the couple of thousand dollars, especially since we don't exactly have money pouring out of us. The money is just sitting in my betting app. Do I tell her? Do I keep it secret? Do I slowly pay off bills? What do I do?

Sign husband who won big. Let's go to wrong answers first. Lunchbox. Oh, you bet it on a college basketball game this weekend. You find one that you have a feeling and you absolutely double it up. And what if you lose? No harm, no foul. Because she didn't know about it in the first place.

What if under your logic and I can understand why you would say that and it feels like a terrible idea. However, I would say the money that you initially started with, I'd pull that out first. and then if you were going to be crazy, do that. But I would pull the money that you had that you bet on the game out. So at least you're not in the hole if you lose the next one. But you're obviously on the street. You're hot. One.

Gotta keep it going. Been to cook. Eddie? Look, you don't tell her anything. You won. Keep it in your wallet. Slowly pay for things, whatever. But don't tell her anything because once she finds out that you did something like risk all that money,

even though you won, she's going to hear nothing but you risked. that much money and it's going to be problems and for the future she's going to be worthy you're going to do that again it's not worth it just don't tell her Amy tell her well you at least have to withdrawal like you said Bobby you got to take out that money you spent anyway because if you all have shared accounts

and you've written whatever money you risked that's hers too so you need to pay that all back and then I think you should just tell her what is up with these listeners are like I want this I don't want to tell my no this is stuff if you're sharing your life with someone this is something you should be able to tell

then. This is what I'd say. First of all, does she watch the checking account? Because my Drive King's account set up to my checking account, the checking account that my wife and I used, like our normal spinning account, grocery account, whatever. So she can see whatever I'm, or if I'm buying jerseys or getting those, she sees all that crap. So if she sees it, she's probably already going to know you took it out. Yeah. So I would just put that back, though, okay, first. Like a little loan. Just put that back and hopefully not. Nothing is said. And then if she's like, I saw the money that was taken out and then put back in, like, yeah, I took it out for the Super Bowl.

You know, I thought I was going to bet a bunch of stuff. Don't say you didn't bet. That's a lie. Just say I thought I was going to bet some stuff. And, you know, I just put it back in there. There's no lie in that what you just said. No, zero lie. Thought you were going to indicates you thought you were, but you did.

No, it doesn't. Yeah. It indicates, but it doesn't say. He did say, he did think about it before he did it. I thought I was going to bet and I realized, I didn't know what I was doing. So it's back in the account. You're covered because you didn't say a single lie. Yeah, Amy, it's all in semantics.

Then you hold on. Then you have like, let's say 10 grand in there still. Oh, nice. And there's a couple ways you can handle this. If you just put a bunch back in the account, she's going to see it and go, wow, you put a lot money back in there. What you can do is you go, put a thousand bucks back in there. We're just talking about this random number that he sent us. I'd be like, hey, I want a thousand bucks.

That's crazy. Let's pay off a bill. It's like, oh. And it'd be like, the next time something comes, during that, you're like, I'm going to, I feel good. I feel good. I'm going to bet like $200 on this game. But if I win, it's going to pay like $2,000. I won!

You didn't really win. You didn't really win. You're just slowly betting this money, building it up. But you just a minute ago, you were all proud that there was no lie. Yeah, but now we're lying. Okay. It's all lies from here on now. Well, now we're lying.

Because with that one, you have to, because it's on your spanking slip. See, this is a lot of work. Man, just don't tell her. No, just tell her. Where he messed up was when, before you make. the bet, you should talk to your wife and be like, hey, I'm planning on making a bet here. Is that okay? Eddie, you can't go back.

Then it's already... I understand. That shit has left the dots. I understand so now. Sometimes you can't go home, you know? It's funny you use that boat analogy. Ships left the dock. Hey, loose lips, sink ships. Don't say anything.

But you won. Y'all are acting like he lost money. He didn't. He won money. There's an iceberg. Don't run into it. Right. There's still obstacles out there in the ocean. Okay, look, the real answer is you should probably tell your wife, Hey, I bet. I won like crazy.

But you're going to get in trouble and you won't be able to bet again. What if you don't get in trouble though? He knows. He will. We all know the people were with. We know how they're going to react to stuff. We all three of y'all said, Oh, you'll get in trouble.

No, I tell my wife, and she's like, how'd you do? I was like, pretty terrible. And she's like, all right, dummy. That's it. We move on with life. But she knows I'm super responsible, but I don't know how his wife knows about that. Right. But you could, if you're trying to hide it,

I would hide it in the way. I put the original money back. Don't even say anything about it unless she brings it up. But have a story ready if she does. And then be like, hey, I'm going to start to bet a little about this. This is the Buy-Bone show. Bobby says to bet this team. And when it wins, be like, holy crap, we won.

This is crazy. And they start giving me the credit. And then you have money, put it back in the account slowly. And the next thing you know, you got all your money in there. Or you could just call it a day and tell her. You could, yeah. That's definitely an option. But we're not going to do that.

But you could get in trouble. Yeah. And nobody wants to get in trouble. And he's secretly gambling. Do you think he's going to be super honest about this? This. Right. That's all I'm doing.

I'm just trying to find the happy medium. I know, but I just feel like this is a... If he was honest, he told her to begin with it. Downward spiral. He's going to keep gambling and then keep... No, he's not really gambling. He's saying he's gambling. You got about gambling.

You get Bobby's strategy. He thought about gambling. Because he did think about it. Thought about it. Okay, okay. There you go. All right, good luck. Lunchbox is better all in one game.

Eddie says never tell. I say create a web that's hard to even remember. Amy said to just tell her. All right, there you go. Close the mailback. We got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mail back. I'm armed to the gills today with fun facts.

They were just all so good. I just didn't want to bring one. For example, 51% of Americans use subtitles all or most of the time while watching television shows or movies. I do. I do. I keep it on on the bottom. Yep.

I'm a little more hard of hearing than my wife is. Probably because I wear headphones all day. but I keep it right there on the bottom. Oh, my wife does and it drives me nuts because sometimes you can't see what's going on on the screen. It's on the bottom. How big are your words? Now, sometimes it pops up at the top.

Yeah. Move it. During the Super Bowl halftime. You don't have control. You don't have a mouse. You're going to do it at Super Bowl halftime? In the words, it on the top is a little distracting. Yeah, you don't have a mouse where you can move it. That's music.

Yeah, but I had it on during the whole Super Bowl. It's like you just go, you would take the time to go in and turn it off. And you don't do it on live TV because I don't do it a lot. Yeah, I do it if I do it. if I'm watching a show. Yeah. I don't want to miss, especially if they have accents,

because I'm not going to even understand what they're saying a lot of the times. But also I can't hear. So there's that too. But I thought it was 51% that was a pretty high number. 56% of surveyed parents with a favorite child

prefer their youngest child. Over half. Oh, wow. Their youngest kid. That adds up. I thought it would be the oldest. Most time spent, maybe,

or also most time to screw up. Sometimes the oldest is the hardest because it's like you're learning. Everyone's learning. And then the youngest, you know, what you're doing and they realize it's the last one. You also care less.

So they want to spend more time. I think. You just care a lot. Well, I got my kids at the same time. So I can't speak to this experience, but I'm the youngest and I feel like my parents were more uptight. Yeah. With the first ones. And then when you realize, like, and you have other kids and you're worried about lots of other things,

the youngest kind of is just like, yeah, she fell down. Big deal. The first time you're brand new baby that you've never had before falls down. You freak out. You're the youngest, right? Yeah, okay. Let's making sure. I thought I heard a little something there.

Right. All right, let's go. Fun fact Friday. Fun fact Friday. Amy go. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. Yeah.

Why? I don't know. I just thought it was like funny that that's what it was and you never know when that might come up in trivia. A twit. We'll remember that. T-W-I-T-T-T-T-T-W-FIT. Do you know why they say be a goldfish? Yes.

Why? Ted Lass him. But why? But why? He didn't make that up. Be a goldfish. Oh, they have memories like us. They are in a bowl.

It's the opposite. No, no. They tell me, I don't know. Try to forget the bad thing that just happened. Yeah, because their memory. Got it. But I've really read, though, they do have better memories and we give them credit for. I think they say they only have 10 second memory.

Yeah, but they say. I saw eight. Lunchbox. Alaska ranks number one when it comes to people going missing. they five out of every 1,000 people are reported missing in Alaska that's more than double the national average wow is it like animals or they break down and it's so cold that they freeze I mean they did like go out for a hike never come back sometimes it's really light the whole time and then other times it's darks the whole time well that's true but oh it's dark you get lost oh Eddie okay so you guys know the margarita pizza yeah like I don't like it but I've heard of it but I found a place that's a great 20 Okay.

Yeah. Well, let me tell you this real quick and then you tell me where that's at. You got it. Okay. So the margarita pizza, they got the name because back in 1889 in the city of Naples in Italy, the queen was coming. And they were like, make her a pizza. We know she loves mozzarella. So they made her the margarita pizza because her name was Queen Margarita.

Oh, it's not about margarita drink? Nope. No. Oh, no. It's spelled differently. It's like, it is? M-A-R-G-H-E-R-I-T-R-E-R-I-T. T-A. I had no idea. Yeah.

She was named after the queen. That is very fun. Thank you, man. This place, Luogo, the Italian place at town, they make a really thin crust. And I don't like margarita pizza. I always thought it was margarita, so I had a bad, like, I don't want to get drunk on pizza, but it's so, it's so good. Oh, we had that one. Yes. Oh, that is really good. It's awesome, yeah. Morgan.

Well, we may work in country music, but cows, they hate country music. According to research, they produce 3% less milk when they're listening to country music. They prefer classical music. Of course. I was reading this thing about a guy. He said, do you ever wonder what that first guy was doing when you discovered that

you can milk a cow? And I couldn't stop thinking about that. What was he doing with a cow? Yeah. They've been milking things since. No, I hear you. But the very first guy. But the first guy ever go like, whoa, there's milk.

Like, what was he doing exactly? Think about that, Amy. Yeah. I can't stop thinking about it. And then how long did he wait to tell everyone about it? Right. Because then it's embarrassing, right? Like, hey, look, okay, I promise I wasn't doing anything weird.

And then it comes out and he has to decide, I'm going to try that. All right. Or what, yeah. I think about that a lot. I didn't come up with that. I read somebody say that. Like, the first guy that ever milked Cal, you didn't get trouble telling somebody. Because it was, yeah.

Houston, we have a problem. Ever heard that? Yeah, Apollo 13. When Jack Swigert was communicating from Apollo 13, he didn't actually say that. Oh. He said, okay, Houston, we have a problem here. but in them reenacting it for movies

Tom Hanks. I have kind of a new theory about the moon. Oh, God. Oh, is it changed? Here we go. First of all, I do think we landed on the moon. Oh. You said last week.

No, no, no, no, no. That's never what I said. I said the percentage, percentage-wise, I'm still 60% probably land on the moon, but 40% there are things like we can't leave lower orbit now, but the moon's above. And how do we lose all the technology to get to the moon? We had it in like the 60s and 70s,

but not only do we lose it, we can't recreate something we've created in the 60s and 70s. Like, all this stuff is bizarre to me. So I'm like, that seems a little fishy. And then the press conference when all the guys come back after being up on the moon, and they're just like sad. It's weird. And Buzz Aldrin being like, we never went to the moon. There are a couple clips him saying that.

So all that to me makes me go, something fishy. I think exactly what I said was I don't know what's fishy about it, but we don't know the whole story about us going to the moon. So we probably went to the moon, but how can we can't leave lower orbit now? That's the thing. If we could do it in the 60s and 70s, and let's say we really did lose all the technology, how can we can't recreate it? Who cares?

Moving on. Here's my new. Not even my theory, because I still think we went to the moon. What if we went to the moon? Landed there. Saw some beep we didn't think we need to be seeing. And we said, we're never going back to the moon. Like, we saw stuff up there we didn't want to see.

And so they still have the technology, but they're not allowing us to use it because they ain't getting us back up to the moon. I can see that. Because there's no reason. The only thing that, like, haunts me is the fact that we had the technology to go to the moon in the 60s and 70s.

We either lost it. They're hiding it from us. Or if they did lose it, we can't recreate it. What could we not do now that we did then that we can't? So all that's bizarre to me. So let's say we did go to the moon, and now they really didn't lose it. And they've also lost the official first

tape that they shot on NASA. Yeah, that's weird. They don't have that anymore. Okay. You know what fascinates me? Yeah. And what blows my mind is how much time you think about, you spin thinking about this? No, don't get me on double slit theory either. No, no. The fact that you think about what goes on the moon,

I don't think about that ever in my life except when you bring it up and I'm like, okay, cool, whatever. But it sounds like you think about this all the time. He's not thinking about. Some, but I think about double slit theory a lot, too. Single slit double slit theory where they shoot the atoms through the hole. And it shows the screen.

Like on the wall, you see the atoms through the slit. Now, if you do double slit theory through a wall, you shoot atoms through it. It shows up as waves on the back wall. So scientists started to think that the atoms were all hitting each other since it was double slit, but it wasn't. So then what they realized was it showed up as waves until they started recording it. When they recorded it, it went back to atoms. And it changed the pattern based on if they were recording it or not. which basically shows you can travel in time.

They just can't figure it out. So it's the dimension different. Okay. I have no idea what you're talking about. But that's the kind of stupid crap I think about. And trees, don't get me started on trees. Oh, they talk to each other. Like, I know in 30 years we're going to be like,

how are we just so mean to plants and trees? Yep. They like need sun. They need to eat. They talk with each other. They live. They grow. Yes.

And we're, you know? They cry. You guys are so stupid. No, trees do talk. Oh, my God. And don't even give me sure about stimulation. Like, you guys. You have time to think about the guy milking the cow.

That's funny to me. That's funny to me. That's funny to me. Thank you for bringing back to normal. Amy, because this was getting just so. Did you know there was never an iPhone 2? They went from the original iPhone right to the iPhone 3G.

Oh, wow. Didn't realize that. Why? I don't have the answer to why. I just know it's fun. I know, but you ask me why a twit and I'm like, I don't know. Wait, wait, wait.

Is that what they say, you little twit? You little pregnant. All right. There you go. That's Fun Fact Friday. Good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home it's something good.

Mandy Scepter, she lives in Kentucky. She's a single mom and has always wanted a big family. Lots of kids, but she's not married. So she looked into the in vitro or whatever. In vitro. You can do it. Yeah, in vitro. She looked into that.

She's like, I don't know if I want to do that. So she looked into fostering. Well, while she was talking to a social worker, she said, well, you know what? Skip the fostering part. We have six kids that are all sisters and they need a place. So why don't you try adopting them? Six together. Well, they weren't together.

They were all in different foster homes. No, but I mean like six sisters. Yes. She's taking them all together. So she said that sounds amazing. Mandy took in all six girls. And the oldest is 19. So she was already even out of the foster care system.

But since she adopted her, I mean, she's part of the family now. She moved in. She moved in. And all six sisters are together, which is so rare. because once they go into the foster system, guys, they can be spread all over the place. They may never see each other again. How lucky were those sisters

that somebody was found that wanted to have multiple kids at once and they were able to come back? Incredibly. Wow. And I always complain about, and I don't complain, I love it,

but I complain about having four kids because it's a lot. Having six is crazy. So good for her, man. That's awesome. What's the difference in two and four? Big difference. It's double.

It's double. I get the number part of it, but what two? Or doubly better, I mean. To your day-to-day-day, life. Yeah, look, when you have four kids, they're a gang. Like, they're, they gang, they take over the family. You can't, no longer can mom and dad control the four kids because they gang up on you. If they have, um, a righteous fight, they all want to fight together. All four

them get together. It's hard to stop all four of them. Correct. Where two, you can still, two, two, two versus two, we can deal with that. But you can't take up, the whole gang's tougher. Right. And I compared a lot to whack a mole. So like, if one has a problem, you're like, let me deal with that. Oh, saw. There comes another mole up. Oh, great. Now this one has a problem. Whack that one. Boom. Oh, Dad, I got a problem over here. What if all four moles come up at the same time? It happens. And it's a terrible day. It's a terrible day.

Hey, good news. That's what it's all about. Thank you. 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 shared their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they see 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 fell 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 host of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are. 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.

Yeah. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So, Bobby, you were in the movie Band Slam in what, 2008 or something? I don't even know, but I did see on Roku. It was showing musical movies, and Band Slam was one of the movies they were showing. It wasn't even an algorithm meant for me. But that's a movie with Vanessa Hudgens and Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe on Friends, and I have like nine lines in it.

And that was forever ago and hilarious. Well, so do you still get residuals from it? Yeah. Like $4 every three. months. That's what's up. Kate Hudson has a podcast. It's called Sibling Rivalry and she was talking about how when she was 13, she was in Home Alone

2, lost in New York. She was one of the kids just singing in the choir at the beginning and she still gets checks from Home Alone too but sometimes they're like 10 cents and Joey Lawrence was her guest and he said he still gets residuals from commercials he did as a kid but sometimes they're

two cents and he's like this doesn't make sense because the stamp and the envelope and the paper and all the things cost more than the two cents. But they still have to pay it, and it costs money for them to pay it. Yeah, wow. Band Slam gets 82% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a good movie, man.

It's a good, a little fun kid movie. Yeah. A lot of people said I carried it, and they were disappointed I didn't get a best Oscar or non for a sporting actor, but a lot of people, just me. I said it. Okay, what else? So have you heard of cybercondria? Afraid to do it cyberly because you'll get a virus.

Oh, wow, that's cool. Okay, that could be it, but it's not. it's when you obsessively Google health stuff online. Oh, like hypochondria. Cybercondria. Obsessively, though, it's a fine line because I think I look stuff up. But then once I start to be totally dedicated to one theory from WebMD, I have to stop because I know I have, you know, cat scratch fever.

That tends to come up every time. So are they diagnosing that as a... Well, no, it definitely is a thing. And then someone looked at the top health questions that people in all 50 states Google. so I have some of the states. Doctors hate it when you come and telling them what you have. Oh, yeah. Like, listen, I looked this up and it seems, they hate it when you do that.

And they play cool now. They're like, yeah, definitely. Like, they'll, yeah, I hear you. I'm glad you looked that up and they'll give you the real thing they think. They hate it when you do that. My doctor says don't do that. Don't Google that. Give me the questions.

So since you're from Arkansas, I'll start with that. And the most Googled thing from Arkansas. Is it healthy to date your cousin? No. No, no, no. Oh, no. No. Shout to Arkansas.

What causes hemorrhoids? I had to Google that before. Yeah. Because the first time I went in and a doctor stuck his finger on my butt and I was like, what is happening? And he said, you bought the premium package? And I was like, wait a minute, where am I? But it was, I was training.

And I didn't know you could get hemorrhoids from training for like running, like hard running and straining. And then, because you get them from being pregnant, obviously. Yes. And having a baby. But yeah, I had no idea. But now I live with it. I'm a voice of young hemorrhoids.

Well, you were the voice of young hemorrhoids when we were in our 20s. Now you're... Stop it. Next. Okay. That was rude, Amy. Yeah, very well. Was there any reason for her to do that? You've been the voice of young...

Move on. Moving on. For 15 years. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, so in Texas, since a lot of us are from there, why do I pee when I cough is searched the most? Wow. That happens. That's probably women.

Rather than have babies. Yeah. Or not. Because I poop when I cough. Interesting. Yeah, that's a new thing. Since Morgan's from Kansas, it's what does ringworm look like? Oh my.

What that? Weird things happening in Kansas. Not that that's a crazy thing to look up. I wonder why Kansas. And I've probably, I've looked up what a certain parasites look like. If my wife's like, we should do a cleanse. Like that's our romantic thing to do together. And so I'll look and see what parasites look like.

And so you see ring worms or tape worms or, but that's number one. Interesting. Not is my finger broken. Yeah. And honorable mention from Illinois is can you live without a spleen? You can. I don't have one. one. Boom. Yep. Yeah, ruptured mine, lost it when I was young. Couldn't find it. So I just gave up. Yeah, good for you. Yes, plain hiding secret was plain. All right, what else? So a lot of people are

trying to increase their water intake, so they're drinking water, but then they're like, oh, I need sparkling water, because water's boring. And they drink way too much. So dentists are saying, like, hey, the carbon dioxide in there turns into carbonic acid, and that eats away your tooth enamel. It's basically carbonation. Carbons in all of it. But yeah, it's a carbon. But yeah, it's a carbon. nation that's eating your stuff. Yeah, so. At least WebMD says that when I look it up. You don't have to totally give up sparkling water,

but maybe swish some flat water around your mouth after drinking the bubbly. I relate to not drinking enough water. I do try to, I have to really be present to drink enough water. Like, I have to think about it because I just don't. And so the things that are difficult about it is peeing all the time. Even if I stop drinking at like 6 p.m. or 7 p.m., I still pee. I hate it.

It's almost like I'd rather be dehydrated than wake up and pee. And then I will drink sparkling water. as well, but I will, you know, what do they say? One glass, alcohol, glass of water so you don't get two browners. I'll do sparkling and then normal and then I'll mix like a fourth of like a cranberry or grapefruit just to make the sparkling not boring. That's how boring it gets to me. But better than not having water at all.

Right. And they said, yeah, just maybe even simply swishing normal water around in your mouth after you drink it. No one's going to switch water. No one's going to switch water. Just drink the water. That's a tip. If it's going to get all.

All the way to your mouth, hole, swallow it. Right. Okay. Okay. Maybe that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stores. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

Stay home, it's something good. So there's a dad and son sitting at their apartment when all sudden, they hear a car crash into the lake right outside their apartment. Like, uh-oh, what are we going to do? They run down there in the 16-year-old's like, dad, I'm going in. Swims out to the car. looks in and he sees a man unconscious in the car still breathing though

so he tries to open the door tries to break the window can't break the window so he swims back to the shore and calls 911 that was tell me something good like the story but I don't do the guy live

yeah the guy lived I guess I'm just confused at your presentation of Well, I'm confused on why these are... She even did the sound effects too, and then you just quit on it. Were you disappointed he called 911? She definitely could have been like, this kid did everything he possibly could, and when the car wouldn't give away, he thought the only thing I can do now is get back to shore quickly and call 911.

Right. But his dad was already on the shore calling 911, so they just waited for paramedics arrived. So these guys are getting all the credit. Well, they responded. And he still tried. Yeah. Okay. And I've heard, too, that, like, if you're stuck in a car underwater, it's impossible to break that glass.

And you would think like, I just kick the glass open. But you got to break the back windshield. The back windshield did that. Like, it's designed to do that. Well, people may not know to go to the back windshield. I've never heard of that. I've heard that is the case. It could be a...

I also heard punch a shark in the nose. I'll tell you, if that happens, I might not think you about punch on the shark in the nose. It could be a minute. But the good news is the car wasn't sinking anymore, so he just went and stood on the shore and hung out until the paramedics arrived and they got him out. You just told the story so weird.

It's like he gave up on it. And then he quit right in the middle of it. And then Ray hit. the end going, I don't know what we're doing here. That's funny. Yeah, so I want to shout out Ethan and Erkin. Saved, wow. Erkin is the dad. Look at how Erkin spells his name.

Let's see if that's his name really. Let me see. E-R-K-A-N. Yeah, Erkin. Erkin. Erkin, Kack-Mack. Sounds like he's doing a dolphin sound. Erkin?

Yeah, Ethan Kack-Mack. They saved his life. We like it. Had they not seen it, it definitely wouldn't have happened. Yeah. I mean, that's what I'm saying. No, you quit halfway through. I like it.

That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. So you had your debit card stolen again? Is it like they took the card or they saw? Amy. What happened? It had it skimmed. It could happen to anybody.

I know. It could happen to anybody. Well, I mean, that's our theory. But it happens to you over and over again. The theory is I got a call from my bank and there was a charge. I didn't make it. So it's okay. It's not, we have it under control.

I won't go back to that gas station. It's a gas station I've never been to before. but I was leaving work the other day and I was on empty. My car goes, please refuel and then it hits a point where it says immediately refuel. And I had hit that point.

So pulled into a gas station that I normally don't go to. Yeah, I hear you. So I'm going to tell you all exactly where it is. No, no, I hear you, but I'm saying and this could happen to any of us. Any of us. Any.

But then you're just getting so unlucky because it keeps happening to you. Or there's another way. They're getting my info, which I don't know. They put an Apple air tag on you and they know where you're headed today. The gas station might totally be fine. We're still working on it and figuring it out. It's frustrating.

When you give people your car, do you open your eyes? What? Like when you put it in a hole or give it to a person, like are you looking or you just kind of just don't, just putting it in a direction? No, I put it in there. I'm aware, but I don't know if it's like getting interred somewhere or some. There's a, I don't know. But I'm thankful for my bank. I'm thankful for life lock.

I'm thankful for I have all of the systems in place. Thank God. And Well, I'm happy It's found You know, anytime I come to y'all And tell y'all this I'm getting vulnerable

Because I know y'all are just gonna add it to the list of things But you come to us a lot No, no, it's not a lot We can set it every Tuesday, every Thursday Every Monday I know, you should do it We like it

frustrating I know We need to go check the skimmer out Straight cash Because do many times have to change life She's not even using money She's bartering with people

Yes, because if you have that Card If you give me gas I will come over later and I'll mow your yard. All right, let's go. Let's do the morning corny. Okay.

Here we go, Jamie. The morning corny. What time is it when the clock strikes 13? Time to get a new clock. That was the morning corny. Because there's no 13? Exactly. Yeah.

I hear you. Really, though, we're rooting for you. Yeah. Sometimes in life you just don't have your restaurant. I feel like we just got skimmed on that joke. Well, you mean, I have another one? No, we're good. No, no, we're going.

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.

Took me to Knoxville last Saturday. And I wore the head on his dad. to the games sure was in Athens but I fell for him under those kneeling lines but I'm met somebody and he's gone blue eyes he opens the door and he don't make me cry he ain't from where we're from but he never done in oh All right, good job. Good job. Oh, so good.

I can tell she's so nervous because her hand's even shaking when she's trying to strump. Do you see that? Yeah. You're shaking? Yeah, that's okay. Why am I shaking? It's normal. You only get nervous because things matter.

Good or bad. You get nervous because things matter. I know. I don't want to shake, though. It's okay. I got this. You want to take a deep breath? Yes.

How did you feel about that performance? Since my hands were shaking, they weren't like exactly on the cords, so they were a little off. I would even say there are artists that come in that are really good. That sometimes mess up all they're playing. But you know, The difference is they just keep going and they don't even act like it's a thing. It's just part of it.

So instead of, and you do this too when you're doing karaoke, you'll be like, oh, instead of being like, oh, just keep going. Who cares? We're not even going to know. Yes, just keep going. Do you need a breath? Just keep going.

Do you take a breath? Yep. Yeah. Let's do this. Why don't we play a song, let Abby gain her composure. That was a rehearsal for the recital. And it was good, Abby.

You're doing great. We're going to do that one again. And do you have another song you're going to do too? I do. What's the other song you're going to do. Fun one. Fishing in the dark. Okay. Sing along with me.

Okay. Abby's here. Take a breath. Let's watch your thoughts. Rehearsal. Yeah, yeah. Rehearsal was a little rough. Okay.

I was going into it, I thought it was going to be rough because she was cramming another room having Eddie teacher a couple things. Or go over stuff with them. I was just tuning the guitar. I was like, man, dude, she's cramming right now. This ain't a good stuff. No, artists do that backstage. They do it here in the green house.

That's right. Okay, Abby, take a breath. The Friday morning conversation. with Abby Lee Anderson. Abby's here. That was a rehearsal we did a minute ago. You guys heard that? That was just us tinkering around.

We didn't even know we're on the air. Abby was just like testing out her new guitar. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Right. Now I'm ready. A little calmer?

Yes, I think so. Deep breath. There you go. Through your nose at your mouth. Mm-hmm. You've been waiting for this moment. I have. I have.

And you're going to be so much better after this moment regardless of how good you do here. Because you've done the experience. You've seen. If you mess up, life doesn't end. if you do great, you're not elected president. So that way you can just keep going. That's what I do. I've bombed out before and you know what I realize?

The life ain't over. It's really not that bad. But I needed to bomb to be able to see that. So I was comfortable with knowing my worst case scenario. And then I've done stuff where I've crushed it. And you know what? I didn't get a metal accommodation. So let that be your leader.

Okay. Abby's here. She's got her guitar. She's never played in public. This is her guitar recital while she's singing. You know, I think it would be interesting if you did Megan Marron Tennessee Orange. You guys think that would be good? Oh yeah. Just on top of my head. I think that would be fun.

I love that one. Did you try to play that one? Yeah, let's do it. Here she is in her recital. It's Abby Lee Anderson. All right, Abby. Mom, I'm calling. I've got some news. Don't you tell Daddy, he'll blow a fuse. Don't worry, I'm doing okay.

Raise me to know right from wrong. It ain't what you think. And I'm still writing songs. Just never thought I'd see the day. I've never felt this way, but I met somebody. And he's gone to the door, and he don't make me crying from where we're from buddy. Forger, they're calling to sin. I'm wearing Tennessee on a tree.

Nice job. Thank you for your vulnerability. You're doing a great job. Okay. Man, that's good. Thank you. So here's what I want to say to. And ask you, did you find it difficult to sing and play at the same time because there's different things happening?

Yes. And there's even like more strumming you're supposed to do this. You don't have to put yourself down. You don't put yourself down. That's true. Don't do that. I don't think it is when you're just strumming down once. I don't think it is.

But it took me a while to get that. Yeah. Like a long time. It's just like you strum through and then you hum it and then you start singing. You did a great job. How do you feel about? about that? Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. Didn't sound like on my couch, but good. Lunchbox? Your thoughts? Yeah, good job, Abby. There you go. All right. It's like a clip we have of him saying

anything positive we play it. I mean, it wasn't perfect, but you kept going. Hey, art, art isn't. Yeah. What art is perfect? You're right. Abby, are you ready? What's the next song you're doing for us in your recital? Fishing in the dark. You guys kind of sing with me? Nitty gritty. Well, no. No, no, you got this. You don't need us. Maybe a second or third time. Do you need somebody to hold your paper for you? These are like my little, this is just the words.

Okay, we'll put it on the ground. Ready, Abby. Mm-hmm. Okay, ready? Here's nitty-gritty Durban. Maybe I'm coming up tonight, shining through the tree. Thugs are floating on the breeze. Baby, get ready.

Across the field where the creek turns back. I'm going to stop road. I'm gonna take it to a special place that nobody knows. Baby, get ready. Backs and count the stars with a cool grass grow. Nice job, yeah. How was that? A little more up tempo.

Yeah. But I love your heart. And you're on, I mean, listen, you're on it most of the time. You just don't, you just can't, don't quit practicing. I mean, none the best way. Don't give up now because we did the bit. Yeah. Like, keep doing it.

I mean, this is so much progress that you made. And it's also going to make you a better singer. too, because you won't worry as much about singing. You'll sing what naturally comes out of you and it'll just so happen to match the key that you're... It's just going to be a better singer once you learn to play guitar. Yes.

So how'd you think? How'd you think? I thought it's pretty good. Better than you thought or worse? About what I thought. Good. Like, you didn't know how to play. Six months later, you played two songs on the national radio show.

Okay, okay. I was impressed. Yeah, me too. Oh, thanks. Now, we will... We have to go to a break in a few minutes, but do you want us to sing it with you now that we've heard you? Yeah.

The chorus or the whole thing? Well, we'll just do background vocals. But don't worry about us. Okay. You do you and you're just comfortable. You're hanging out with your friends, relaxing. Good? Yep.

All right, Abby, go ahead. There's a yellow moon coming up tonight, shining through the trees. Cricket saws singing and lining bugs are floating all the breeze. Baby, get ready. Across the field where the creek turns back by the roll star, room. I'm going to take it to a special place that nobody knows. Baby, get ready.

Ego, fishing in the dark line on our backs and count the stars where the cool grass grows. Good job. And your pace was good. Everything was good. Good job, Abby. Keep practicing. Okay. Okay.

Amy, give me a couple words real quick. Adam's first recital. Well, I already said impressed and I stand by that proud, like genuinely proud of you and then also motivated. Like, I'm sitting here thinking, you know, I don't know what it is. It could be, it doesn't have to be an instrument, but it could be that if anybody else is thinking about picking up something or a hobby or starting something and they feel like, oh, it's too late in life.

Like, no. She's not 100. I know. I know she's not, but like. She's dying this week. I hear you. You know what I mean? I guess more so I'm thinking of myself.

Like, I'm about turn 43 and there's things I want to do. and I'm like, now Abby's motivating me. It's good job, Abby. Eddie, quickly? Thank you. Oh, yeah. Look, the ball's rolling. I mean, Abby, this is going to open up your musical career in a different way.

You're going to be able to go to writing sessions with your guitar. Yeah, she's made money to play music. Oh, yeah. And you'll be able to go. She's had a song on the radio. You'll be able to write and you'll be able to play like songwriter stuff too. It's like, Abby, come play with this. You can just play a couple songs.

Yeah. Oh, lucky. Lunchbox. I'd like to say that I'm glad that I'm so inspiring. I didn't know I can inspire people to make change. And I mean, I think another year, and you might be able to play live somewhere. A year? Okay.

Really, I mean, I don't, I mean, you're not good enough to go play live now with a guitar, but another year you might be able to. I'm proud of you. It took real vulnerability to come up and do that and learn something new and put it on the show. So I'm proud of you. Well, thank you. That's great. Keep practicing.

Okay. Thanks. There she is. Abby. Eddie's punishment was to go to a public place and tell jokes. So dumb. Just stand up, be like, I'm here. He did it the first time, and the audio was terrible.

Yeah, because I didn't record audio by... It's an audio show. I didn't think about that. Yeah. So it was terrible. We couldn't even tell what he was doing. So dumb. So he had to go back again a second time.

He says his punishment's over. What are we going to hear here? I went back to the same place, and I stood on the stage, and I started to tell jokes. I told him I was a local comedian. Describe what the place is. It's a coffee shop. And I would say they're probably about... 15 people in there, all individuals on their laptops.

Maybe there were two tables where two people were talking. And it's a time where people don't go up and tell jokes. So you going up there was weird. Oh, as soon as I started talking, everyone was like, what is going on? And they all turned around and watched. Let's hear the audio of Eddie paying his punishment. I'm a local comedian in town, and I just want to run some jokes by you. So it's Valentine's Day.

So let me ask you this. What do beans say to their valentines on Valentine's Day? Beans. You keep me grounded. You keep me grounded. You keep me grounded because like coffee grinds. Oh man, okay. Here's one.

Here's that. What's the opposite of coffee? Sneezy. That's stupid. Because like you cough and then you sneeze. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Hold on. What's a barista's favorite exercise at the gym?

Any guesses? The French press. Because like your bench press? That's a stupid joke. Okay, okay. Why did the kangaroo stop drinking his cup of coffee? Why? It made him too jumpy.

Gangaroo, a little too jumpy. Oh, man. Hey, thank you guys so much for coming to my show tonight. Thank you. What's hilarious. I got a standing out. Nobody wants to be a part of it, but they know if they don't, you're never going to leave. Did you hear the guy go, what?

Yeah. Why? Why did the gangaroo? You did a good job laughing at your jokes. Yeah, that was a lot better way. To laugh afterward, even though it wasn't that funny. Right. That dude is so embarrassing.

I don't ever want to do that again. Was it awkward feeling? It's always awkward. Yes. Like, why do I? They're just trying to live their life. And I feel really bad for the coffee place, too, because they're just trying to serve coffee. And even there.

Did they not kick you off stage? No. They kind of just sit there and watched. I think it's everybody stunned. Like, what is going on here? Like, do I need to go remove this? This doesn't happen. What was the first joke about the beans?

Yeah, I didn't understand. You messed that up. I didn't set it up. We're at a coffee shop, so it's, the joke is like, what does the bean tell his Valentine? What is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should have said, what is the coffee bean tell his Valentine? You keep me grounded.

You keep me ground. Yeah, and you just said bean. So I think of like pinto bean. It did this pressure up there, man. You go up there. But it was your first joke. I know, I know, I know. You came out of the gate real bad.

Real bad. The funniest part is you laughing in between now. That was part of the rules. I had to laugh for like five seconds. Does everybody feel good about his punishment now? Yes. He paid it. A lot better.

That first one was so bad. Hey, that's a game changer lunch. You're having that phone in your hand. It's amazing. We used to have lunchbox fully miced up with like cords and cables and mics and stuff. Now you just take your phone. It's amazing. Great.

Yeah, he used to tape it to my chest. Yeah, he was working for the mom. He was an informant for the mob. He was bug. How we used to do that, yeah. 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.

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.

Big night. I'm going to sleep on camera. I let people. watch me. Slumber party. Yeah, you guys should come visit.

Come knock on the window. We wake you up. Yeah. Hey man. We're rooting for you. I have a sleep study. I've been putting it off for years. I'm going to go sleep in this building and there are cameras all over the walls and

maybe I have sleep apnea. Maybe I don't know what I have. I do have a friend and I was talking to her and she sleepwalks like crazy. Oh, that's scary. At time just wakes up in parts of the house and it's like, how did I get here? Her husband has to like hold her arm while. they sleep and when she gets up, pull her back. How about that?

I did that one time when I was like 10 years old. I peed and woke up, went to the kitchen, peed in the trash can, went back to bed. But when you were an adult later on. That was different. I was drunk. No, you were at my house and you got drunk and then you went home and peed in your bedroom corner. Right, right, right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in my mind, though, I was dreaming that I walked to the bathroom, but I didn't. I walked to the corner of the bedroom. Mike Barbiglia, the comedian, he has sleep issues. And he was like at a hotel and he walked and out the window and fell. Didn't die. Oh my goodness. But he talks about it because that's it.

Carlos, our old producer, would sleep eat. And so we were worried he was going to like put like, I don't know. Eat something. Ejax or, is that anything like Ajax? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like a bleach sandwich or something because he would sleep eat. But I don't even like a sleep apnea is like a breathing problem when you sleep. Hey, April, you're in New Mexico.

Tell me your story. So my husband and I lived in Hawaii for a couple of years. and he snored like crazy and was gasping for air. So I finally talked him into going and doing a sleep apnea study. But in Kona, Hawaii, they have wild chickens everywhere and roosters. So the whole time he was in the sleep apnea test, a rooster, or many roosters, were crowing right outside his window. At night?

Or like right when the sun came up? I thought they did the morning. They did the test during the day for him. Does he have odd hours, like work at night, that type thing? We didn't. It's just when they scheduled him. That was like a nap test? Weird.

All right, come take a nap. Yeah, that's funny. And you have your place right next to a rooster? Or roosters live? Well, they're everywhere. That's unfortunate. I'm a little nervous about it because, again, I know I'm going to go to sleep. I think I'm going to go to sleep.

And these cameras are all on me. I don't know what I do when I sleep. I'm not talking about breathing. Like, what do with my hands? Right. I'm sure you're fine. And I'm sure they've seen it before. Like, what if I, like, put my hand in my butt, put my hand in my nose, pick my nose, pick my nose, then pick your nose, then pick your butt.

And then pee the bed at the same time. I don't know what I do. It's going to be on camera. How do I get rid of that footage? And they're going to, like, plug me up with all these things. There has to be something you can sign that says don't release this footage, right? Yes, of course. They cannot release that.

But can you trust them? I don't even know. How can I trust them? Yeah, that's going to be Saturday night. So probably Monday when I come back, I'm going to have some stories. I hope I have no stories I hope I come and say You know what guys I slept I hope you just have a cure

Slept okay and now I've been cured That'd be nice I hope I don't have to have one of those machines Well a lot of people do And it's my life Yeah but I hope I don't have to have one of those machines I know but you'll get through it if you do I will not I just won't sleep ever again

Bobby Bones show Boney up the day This story comes up to us from Montreal Canada A middle school teacher is in hot water after selling students artwork, clothing, and personal items on a website. She has them do

art projects. If they leave sweatshirts in the classroom. Oh, she sells theirs to other people. And she puts it online. It's like, lost and found Goddense. That's funny. Someone came across the website and was like, man, my son said he drew that and it's for sale for $94. Wow.

She's making a profit off their work. Wait, this is the thing because like, I have kids. I mean. Yeah, but like if they leave their sweatshirt, she doesn't say, oh, do anybody leave the sweatshirt? She takes it home and sells it. Oh, wow. I wonder how long she's been doing that before she got caught. Oh, probably years. Yeah, what they're. Because

how do you stumble across that website? Unless someone's like, those are my pants. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. I thought a color matching appointment, Amy, would be where you go and you get your hair color matched. Yeah, well, in a way, you kind of are doing that

because it's your overall colors that are best for you. From the shirt, you put on or the dress or the blazer to what kind of makeup you're wearing. It's not like a hairstylist. They tell you what color to wear like a, like a, like my wife will go, hey, if you wear this, it's going to make you look washed out, like a salmon. Oh, yeah. Because I don't have a tan at all sometimes.

She's like, oh, you look a little washed out. Like that? Yeah, so it's all about the underlying skin tone that we're born with. You can't even change it. So like, here's the thing. You're underlying. So like if I get a spray tan, my color's still the same even though I'm darker. Did you pay somebody for this?

I did. Oh, boy. Oh, no. I did. I paid and I had a two-hour appointment and she told me that my color palette is cool summer And that I should. But you can't tell her she's wrong

Like there's no way to Well no it is back there is There's stuff that our brains are attracted to And there's stuff in our skin tone That makes certain colors look You know like we look like you said flushed out or like That's outer skin tone

Yeah it's the under like the underlying But if I'm tan I look better in salmon Okay well yes I can't believe you paid money for this. She could probably tell you what your color is. Sure she could. You're either spring, winter, summer, or autumn. I can tell Bobby what his color is right now.

What's up? You're like snow white. No, not my skin. Oh, what do you mean? Underlying. She says, this woman tells her if you wear certain clothes, you get like better jobs and stuff. No, your confidence goes up.

You're taken more seriously. Like if you're wearing your power color. No. Black. I wear black all the time. And she told me that my color is not black. I shouldn't really wear. I need to wear dark navy.

You maybe could wear black, but not me. Yeah, that's what it says on Google, if you're cool summer, you are supposed to avoid black. Yes. And white clothes. What do you mean if you're cool summer? That's her color, dude. Because they are too stark and high contrast for cool summer. This is a crock.

Remember when you used to pay people to do your like. Candida? Candida. When you hold a can of pills that they pull your fingers apart, you needed that pill. This is the same thing, Amy. You are an absolute sucker. Call me crazy. You are crazy.

Crazy. No, no. So you go do it yourself. Like, I've... Go do it, how much you pay her? Amy paid for a pet psychic once and paid one for a week too. I know. Did you do it? Yeah, you paid for it.

We did on the air. Okay. So there's like jet black mascara and I always go for jet black eyes because I thought that would make me more awake. And she's like, no, no, you need to be using brown. And I thought, what? Because I've been doing it all wrong. And she said, I haven't transformed my closet yet. But she said, once you do, it takes time because you have to build it.

You don't want to go out buying things right away. But no matter what you go grab from your closet, you're going to feel confident because it's your color palette. I hear you. We just can't prove she's wrong. There's no doubt. It's like astrology. I'll pay for you to go.

I don't want to. But you're on TV. Why wouldn't you want to look your best? Can you give me extra time back in my life that I wasted for doing it? What if it helps you book a TV job? What if it does? What if the nuts had butts? And you go on red carpet?

Like Lauren Aiken's went to this person. If you go on red carpet. Listen. And she wore her color from her color from her palette on the red carpet at a recent thing and it looks so good on her. That's probably because it's a good looking color on her and also it's a nice dress. It's part of her palette. What is she called a...

What do you pay her per hour? Yeah. Huh? What do you... Yeah, how much? Well, but it's multiple hours and it's a one-time fee. Yeah, you go ahead. It's the same guy that Abby did guitar lessons with. Oh, no. How much is it? Maybe. I'm sure everybody's a little bit different. What's the hour?

To me, it was worth the investment. Do you not want to say? To me, it's worth the investment. Because I'm in the process of cleaning out my closet. And now it's going to Help me know what... I should just put a fake mustache on and scam me out of stuff. I didn't make so much money doing that. Oh, you need to wear...

Those shoes are not you. You, that is not your palate. It's not your palate. You're going to hear this. Exactly. Yeah, I get that you're going to... It sounds like it's not real. Eat seven corn kernels.

It's not real. She'll put the different colors up to you and you're looking in the mirror and you can see... I'm colorblind, lady. Well, yeah, that's going to be a problem. But you can see like, oh, wow, this does look better. My face does look brighter and nothing about your face has changed. Did you put on your podcast? I did.

So she came on and now y'all are knocking her. But if you want to know more... And you still paid for her? You're not knocking her. No, no. Here's how it happened. I booked an appointment because my friend told me about her. I paid for it.

I was so fascinated by it all. I asked her if she would come on my podcast. Oh, okay. So I'm a paying customer. Yes. Yes. Then she came on. What's the hourly rate for someone?

I don't know. Just a normal person doing that kind of job? I guess her hourly rate might be about like a hundred. 100 or something? I don't know. I'd have to divide it up. To tell you what color to wear? No, it's more than that. No, what color to do your hair, what color makeup?

Mascera. Listen, it can change your confidence. I'm just telling you. Yeah, anything can change your confidence. And I've been doing it. I don't have an eye for that. So I... I have more than 100 bucks an hour.

No. I have been wearing colors that don't necessarily suit me. So I'm thankful to now have this information. I think you've been nailing colors on us. Yeah. Every day. Yeah. That's because right now... Go check I Amy's podcast.

This is one of my colors. Four things with Amy Brown And because she talks to the color She paid the color person And then brought them on That is wild Well that's why I want to be clear I think people hear our show

And know she'll get scammed They invent careers And then contact her Oh no Oh no Nope I'm gonna start doing this I'm gonna start charging people

And tell them what color to wear What you gotta do in an accent No you can't just do it Because it takes a special Kind of person to fall for it No And my friend that I saw When I saw her I said

What did you do You look different And she goes You bought a new shirt No She was wearing something She had in her closet for year. She goes, it's this blue track suit I'm wearing.

I haven't worn it forever because I didn't know about this color blue, but apparently it's in my palette. And it did. She looked more alive and confident. Everybody, hope you have a good weekend. Hope you find that's how I learned about her. If I came in with like a pink hot pink best, bones would be like dude, something looks different on you. Yeah, where this new

hot pink best? Well, I paid a hundred bucks an hour for someone to tell me. For my color palette. She looked radiant. Thank you guys for listening. We'll see you next week. Bye, everybody. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones show. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses.
