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

And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. there's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they failed. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth? to the people when they're no longer here. We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts too many of us were never, ever taught. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

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

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

I just, you know, I needed that one more day of mental healing. Oh, mental healing. Trauma and stress of having COVID really messed with me. And so, yeah. Okay, well, we're going to go around the room and share our favorite story of the day. And so lunchbox, you can go first from home. Go ahead. Okay, I mean, I don't know if you guys saw this story or not, but the dude got arrested for Tupac's murder.

Yeah, we talked about it. A lot, like four days ago. Big news. Yeah. You've been gone, so you haven't known. But you can go ahead and give us your take on it. I mean, you want to talk about it. about the bonehead of all bonehead?

Like, is this a case of him just wanting to brag? Like, hey, no one's giving me credit for this, so I want credit? Or why is he out talking about it? He's been talking about it for years. Yeah, and they just kind of, and he's not the shooter. They don't have, they arrest him for being the shooter, but he's just kind of had an The mastermind. Enough facts.

Yeah. He's not enough things and too many things. He just kept talking long enough that it bit him in the butt. But don't they think the shooter is dead already? They said he would, the LAPD or whatever, He interviewed him and said, anything you say in this interview, you will not be arrested for. But then he writes a memoir. He goes out and does an interview.

I saw the interview on TikTok that was kind of the last one before they went and raided his ladies' house. And they found the bullets. And not the ones that shot two-ploc by the same kind of bullets that were used, apparently. I believe that's what the story was. But yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool. Thanks for bringing that up. Yeah, man. I mean, that was the craziest story.

Can you believe Tom Brady and Giselle broke up? Yeah, that's nuts, dude. Wow. And Tom Brady retired. What? That's crazy. All right, man. Hey, thanks for that story, lunchbox.

Yeah, you want another one? Okay. There was a teacher. I believe she's down in Louisiana. Oh, no. 33 years old just gave birth to a baby. And then she went and turned herself into the police station because it was one of her students. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think he was, how old was he? Was he 12? He was like 12? What? I saw that. What? I think he's 17.

Oh, I saw a different story. I saw a 12-year-old one. But not, I don't know. Whoa. What? This happened twice? Well, I'm sure it's happening a hundred times Where she gives birth and turns out of something in police?

No, I don't know about the birth. I don't know by the birth. Okay. Wow. Turned herself in, huh? Did she know someone was going to turn her in? Like, why would you go turn yourself in? Why not just try to... She probably had to fill out the dad on the birth certificate.

There is a... Here's another one. A Tennessee teacher busted for that with a 12-year-old claim she's pregnant. I'm going to raise a baby. That's the one I saw. Sick. Oh, God. That's crazy.

All right, lunch bucks. Thanks, buddy. Yeah, you want one more? Go ahead. The power ball is up to $1.4 billion for Monday. $1.4.4 billion dollars. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Oh, my gosh.

Guys, when we do it this time, I don't care. We don't need to multiply our money. 1.4 billion's enough. Yeah, I'm in. Scoop, I'm in. You're collecting money. Probably in on that one, too. Now you're in. Was it good enough for you at $600 million?

Now it's worth your time. Yeah. Okay, lunchbox, thank you. Yeah. Okay, cool. Let's go over to Eddie Eddie. Next Saturday is the ring of fire eclipse across America. You can see it.

It's 11.13 a.m. is when it starts. So that's central time. And it's going to be really cool because we are shadowing the, let me see if I can get this right. We are shadowing the sunlight on the moon. But the moon is so far away that it's a ring around. So it's not going to be a full solar eclipse. You see a ring around the moon. It's going to look like a ring.

ring around our shadow. That's all I can understand what you're saying. The rest of what I understand. I mean, it's very scientific and I'm trying to understand myself. So what's in the middle? Our shadow. There's three things. Picture this. Picture this. Three things. The moon we're looking at. Okay. Behind us. No, no, that's not true. See what I'm saying? Morgan, do you know this? I know. I'm reading it right now to see if I can. Okay. An hour and 20 minutes after the moon will move directly in front of the sun, creating the ring of fire. Boom. The moon. Ring of fire. Amy, what do you have? Okay, so there's this teacher.

She went on TikTok talking about how she doesn't really have strict rules for her students. Like if they don't have a pencil, it's fine. She'll give it to them. They don't have a computer charger. It's fine. She'll give it to them. Dress code, like they get to eat during class because you can't learn if you're hungry. There's all these things.

And she put it up on TikTok. Free range teaching? I guess. But parents are freaking out or people are like, wait, this is what's wrong with kids. Are we not preparing them for the real world and the workforce? Like, can you imagine if we just showed up here and we're like, ah, I don't have what I need. That's okay. I think it would amplify certain behaviors good and bad, right?

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

She also doesn't. She doesn't give homework, which I'm like, okay, I can support that. As a parent, I'm over homework. Well, I like this. She's trying something, unless she's just lazy. And she's like, I have this crazy new technique, but really, she just doesn't want to work. True. That sucks.

All right. Finally, always flush the toilet when you walk in a hotel room. Oh. Always, especially. And I thought, too, like, why? Because poo or something that they left in? Because that happened to me. Yeah.

Oh, but that was. In Virginia Beach. Yep. There's toilet paper with poo on it. Oh. When they're like a can too? Yeah. There's an energy drink can in there.

Somebody was chilling in your bathroom, dude. Oh, my God. So however, they say, especially if you want somewhere warm, flush toilet when you get there because just stop the bugs or anything coming up through it. Because there's insects and bugs, and it's warm. It's warm and wet. And so that's where a lot of them live. So if you flex the toilet right away, it'll keep bugs from going up into your room.

So there you go. Thank you. You're welcome. That's the news. Everybody here. All right, we got Darius coming by in a little bit, which will be pretty cool. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air.

Something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. Days after my little sister turned 18, my mom moved out and disappeared for months. My dad took her pretty hard, but eventually he forgave her, and when she contacted him months later, they talked it through and ultimately got a divorce.

Since then, my mom has only contacted me a few times a year on Christmas, birthdays, and other special days or events. I really don't even know where she's been all these last few years, but she just moved back to our town and she's been contacting me wanting to get together.

I don't know how I feel about this. She basically abandoned us, and now she just thinks she can pick up like nothing has happened. Should I give her a chance or not? Signed, abandoned son. The answer is yes. You should give her a chance.

You should also realize that you have made mistakes too in your life, and you're going to want somebody else to give you a chance at some point. Different levels, sure. But she messed up. Maybe that's what she wants to say. And she has to work to get your trust back,

obviously. No one's saying everything's exactly the same as it was because it can't be. But it's your mom, man. So what I would say is go into it slightly optimistic but not overly and let her build that trust in that relationship back. But also listen to her and see what she has to say, why she has to say it, what her perspective was. And she'll probably say I was wrong, but this is what I was feeling that made me feel wrong. I mean, there's just a lot to it. So, and I'm never going to say,

nope, don't do it. Especially if she's making the effort. Like if you're the kid and you're making the effort, I still say, hey, go for it. Maybe you can give, but she's making the effort. Yeah, you can always hear her out. And then just, I wouldn't have these expectations of what it's going to be like.

Just hold on to it loosely in a way, but be open to listening. And it's okay to be angry and it's okay to be sad and it's okay to have every emotion that you have. and it's okay to share every emotion that you have with her, and she will share hopefully every emotion with you. Then you will get to a place where it can be healthier. It will never be the relationship of a mom that was with their kid their whole life.

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

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

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

I was going to ask you, how long did it take you to kind of realize? 30 years. What? Okay, that's, that was it. Like how long they take you to realize that like, okay, maybe people do make mistakes. Because you went like that with your dad. Yeah, I think he's a little older because his sister turned 18. Oh, yeah. So I would imagine, I don't know, 12 to 24.

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

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

We've got your email and we've round the clothes. Bobby's Mailbag. We'll go around the room and do Fun Fact Friday. This is a little warm up. Coffee breaks come from a tradition. in the 1800s called 11s's, where people would get a break at 11 a.m. to go drink whiskey. Oh, that's cool.

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

Okay, I won't do a gross one like he usually does. This is about music. So the British Navy uses Britney Spears songs to scare off pirates. How crazy is that? I guess they hate. English pop music. Yes. It's probably not so much about Brittany as it is the sounds of pop music.

Right. The pirates don't like that sound? I thought she was international. That's crazy. Maybe now with the pirate community. They're like, no, no, no, Britney, I can't take it. There's still pirates? Yes.

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Terrists. Pirates. The Pirates, yeah. I see, I'm picturing like Jack Sparrow. No, no, no, no, not those guys. They're clothes have changed, but technology. But they do the same thing.

They take over and kill and loot. Crazy. Yeah. Top and shorts. Which is crazy. All right, next up, let's go to Amy. In 1977, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield decided to open a bagel shop. But the cost of bagel machines were so high that they were like, shoot, what are we going to do?

So they enrolled in a $5 ice cream making course instead. They were both looking for a new career path. They both love ice cream and voila, Ben and Jerry's. That's cool. How they decided who gets to be first? B and J. Probably. Alphabet.

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

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

That's crazy. Seems safe. It's Russia. Yeah, nothing's safe in Russia. Morgan. So, Gray's Anatomy, the very popular TV show, they don't use fake organs for their surgery scenes. They actually use cow organs.

That's cool. I thought she was going to say real organs. No, you can't waste human organs. But why can't you just do fake organs? Because it looks real. It looks... Stop it. Like the ice creams on commercials.

If I see an organ, It's not real. I'm going to call FCC immediately. Oh, because you're a doctor. Yeah. I'm like, this is not real. I demand we... I've got a few music as I want to do for you guys. So, first of all, Louis Armstrong is the oldest person to have a number one single on the Hot 100 ever.

He was almost 63 years old when Hello Dolly hit number one in May of 1964. So a 63-year-old was number one. But he also had... You know what song he has? What a wonderful world. Yeah. I see skies blue. So the Ramones.

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

minutes. Really? I mean, they do play fast. And go hard, and spit, and jump and kick. That's right. 17 minutes. I thought it was crazy. And then my final one in the music here, the song Boys in the Hood by NWA did not make the Billboard Top 100 when it debuted in 1987, but it did make it after the movie straight out of Compton in 2015. Wow.

It's all about making that GTA because the boys in the hood are always fun, fat, Friday. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something. Last Friday at Yukon High School's homecoming football game in Oklahoma, big reunion happened, and I can get on YouTube or TikTok and watch these all day long. After a 10-month deployment, Army National Guard, Chief Warren Officer 3, Joseph Jarvis,

returned home a month early to surprise his family and escorted his daughter, Emmeline, onto the field for homecoming. Yes. Love it. She didn't even know. It was Jarvis's fourth overseas deployment and with the homecoming game coming up,

his wife was like, is there any chance, any chance? Because he missed her first steps. There were things that when you serve, you're just gone sometimes. And so he surprised her and was able to walk her and then also was able to thanks to my supervisors for letting it happen.

That's so cool. Which is pretty cool. I know. I'm walking my niece and homecoming in a couple weeks. Oh, you are? Uh-huh. At the game? So it's like on the, where does that, what does that mean?

Yeah, I think so. Oh. I think that's where you walk someone. I don't think, I don't, I feel like I can say that. What do you mean? It's not a surprise? No, I don't think so. No, no, she asked me.

Yeah. She was like, hey, can, I guess they're, I don't know. They must need an escort of some sorts. Yes. And I guess her her dad, I guess, is not available. I don't know. You should ask more questions.

Well, no, it was just yes. It doesn't matter what the question was. But are you sure you're not going to the dance with her or anything? Don't know, it was just yes. I doubt that. She needs something? The answer is yes. She's going to have fun with her friends.

Okay. This must be part of like the homecoming evening. Maybe I ask more questions today. Maybe. I would think so. All right. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable. until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre,

as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, 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.

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.

We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Get out of character. All right, come back to normal, Eddie. What was that? Here's a voicemail from Nick in Ohio. My question is for Eddie. I'm wondering how his chicken business is going. I haven't heard much about him selling his chickens. I was looking forward to hearing the business booming,

but I haven't heard much since. One update on that. Thank you. Eddie, how many chickens have you sold in last week? And last week, zero. Yeah. No, none, but I did get an order for Halloween night. Somebody needs a chicken for Halloween.

Your chicken business is dead. So, dude. We got one in the mix. Okay, here's another one. I got a morning corny for Amy. What's the difference between a guitar and a fish? You can't tuna fish. Bye.

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

Well, that's nice. We thought they were super cool. We brought him in. They were awesome. And they didn't look like stabbers. Right. But he was really good, wasn't he? Like, just a natural good kid. Yeah. And he won 100 bucks. So dumb. I knew of a smart kid. Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right. Do you agree with these new cell phone etiquette rules? Okay. Never call out of the blue. No, I don't agree with that. Okay. Always. I don't, though. Usually I'll say, hey, are you around? Can I call you? I do that. But I do it as a

super kind gesture. I think if I call, that's okay too. Yeah, it says here, just always text first, like heads up. Never leave a voicemail. Uh, if they don't. Well, let me say this, the new operating system. If you leave a voicemail, which it has, but also if you leave a voice memo, which I do in the text, it will now read it to you so you don't even have to listen to it. That's perfect. Oh, that's smart. Okay. Well, if they don't answer your call, you should hang up and then send a text instead. Like, this is the way. Rather than a voicemail, people like to communicate. It's almost the same thing with a voicemail now, though, because you can read the text. My voicemails not even set up.

I don't know that mine is either. Mine's full. Oh, boy. Is it because your message is so long, the outgoing? Hey, it's Amy, please leave a message and have you feel better than it. There is no room left to leave a message. Nope. It's just full.

I still have voicemails on there from like 2015. I like to keep them somewhere from my dad. Okay, you don't have to go sad. I get that. We got it. Your dad died. Okay, don't use that against us. Go ahead.

I wish I had one for my mom. Okay. Just go on. The National Sleep Foundation has a new recommendation on the best. sleep practices and it's crazy because I never know what to believe anymore because they always said wake up at the same time on the weekends that you do in the weekday you got to stay consistent that's the most important thing and now they're saying you can sleep in extra on the weekend to make up for sleep and that is the best thing to do for yourselves. Here's what I want to say. I think everybody knows

their body and if I sleep way too much I'm worse than if I got no sleep. I have a kind of a threshold of what I know and I can I can sleep 10 hours and feel good I really can. And I can go to sleep at 4 a.m. And sleep until 1 or 2 p.m. That's my normal body. But that's my body clock. We all know our body clocks.

And if I sleep on on the weekend, sometimes it does help me. But if I stay consistent, but I have to go to bed at a consistent time too. That's just generally the best for all of. Consistency is best for the human body. Just do you? Yes, but it's got to be a healthy consistency.

If you're getting three or four hours and you're waking up early on the weekdays, you don't need to do that on the weekend just because you should let your body relax. It's nuance. There's a lot of nuance. There's a lot of nuance with the human body. All right.

Yeah, and speaking of waking up, just the thought of coffee, that coffee obviously has caffeine and that wakes you up, but most people that are coffee drinkers say just the thought of them helps them, thought of the coffee helps them get out of bed. Oh, yeah, I think about coffee and that gets me out of bed. Yeah. To get to the coffee. Absolutely.

It doesn't do what the coffee does. It's like, I'm up. Okay, got it. It's a motivator. I can get my coffee. Right. Okay, it doesn't give you coffee effects. Got it.

In case anyone's taking a road trip this weekend, I have the top road trip country songs. Okay, go ahead. On the road again, for sure. That's the number one. Boom. On the road again. I would have picketed if it would have anything but that. I start all my road trips with this song. My kids are all like, dad, every time. What else is on the list?

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

That's more fun. What's the third? wagon wheel. I just wanted people to know about something cool that's going down on Fortnite. Did you play that? No, no, no more. I used to. My son plays a lot.

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

I've been in there before. I've been in the Fortnite. I Hurtland. That's cool. Travis Scott's done them just generally. Big marshmallow. But Ed Shearin's doing this one at I Heartland. Yeah, and this one's now through Monday, October 9th.

On NBA 2K, I DJed in the city. You want to see that? It's the same buddy. All right, thank you. Amy's that it? Yes, Amy, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of storage. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. You know how like in the 1960s is popular to wear your boyfriend or girlfriend's class ring around your neck? I mean, I don't know that, but I've seen some movies. Right. Just to show, like, hey, this is my girl, or that's my boy, or whatever. Well, this guy, Chuck was dating Darley, and he had her class ring around his neck. It was very special to her, and Chuck lost it.

Chuck. It was 1960, exactly. Chuck, what the man. Here we are. 2023, all these years later, they are married and have kids have a family. They ended up staying together. But the ring was found by this metal detector enthusiast named Trent Banks. Now, Darley, she would go up to anybody she saw with a metal detector in town and be like, hey, if you find this ring, let me know.

And Trent found it like an old sandlot next to a tree. So it's super cool. She tried to offer him a reward, but he wouldn't take it. Amy's still looking for her ring. I got two things to say. Amy, still looking for her ring. Yes. Texas A&M class of 03.

It's gold with a teeny tiny diamond and my initials or my name engraved on the inside. You don't know? I can't remember if it's initials or full name. I just don't remember. Eddie is beating me up by getting a metal detector and going in my backyard. He thinks they're... For what? Dinosaur bones or something?

Oh, I think that we can find some really cool Civil War stuff in your backyard. They do work. I rented a metal detector once to find my wedding ring when I lost. Oh, I never thought they didn't work. I just don't think there's going to be any... What do you mean? Do we get can'tons, metals, whatever? And then call Dr. Lori.

We'll be rich. But you can rent them. Yeah. Oh, for sure. I'll rent one. I told bones on a Saturday. Just call me out. We'll metal detect.

It looks like you're kind of interesting If you get a metal detector We can do it for 30 minutes 30 You have to be more committed than that Yeah I'm not spending the whole day Metal detecting

We'll do shifts We'll do shifts I'm not an enthusiast like that guy Like Trent But if you get it a metal detector We can I just don't think there's anything there Oh we'll find something

Oh Amy great story That's what it's all about That was tell me something good 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 relationship. 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 IHeartRadio 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 build.

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 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. On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Ho'Brien, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if ever. Everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here. We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts.

Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't. and get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart

I think she bought tickets to the wrong show. Yeah, Amy, it's Bobby's show. It's my show. I don't even know Ron. I don't know anybody named Ron. Let me think if I know anybody named Ron. You know Rod. Ron.

It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. Coming into the studio right now is Darius Ruck. He's got nine number ones, for example, Don't Think I Don't Think About It. Don't Think I Don't Think About It. Maybe All right from 2009. He is releasing a seventh solo album, Carolyn's boy

in honor of his mother on October 6th, which is now. And here he is, everybody walking this duo, Derek Rock. Hello, y'all. How y'all doing? What's up? Hey, look what I have here. You don't get it, but.

He's not giving it to you. Nice, I got one of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We went over. It's a South Carolina football, and I got Coach Beamer sign it and their tailback because we went over and spent a day over there. It was awesome.

I love him. I love Coach Beamer. Did you get to see the studio? What studio? In the coach, in the athletic facility, I built a studio for all the, for all the... I did not. And they go in there and make beats and make rap records and stuff. It's pretty cool.

We asked him how much you donated, he wouldn't tell us. We were like, how much is Darius donated? We're like, off the record. And he's like, I can't tell you that. I love that, dude. I love him. It's cool, too, to have. like, because you're a big South Carolina guy. You're

a South Carolina sweatshirt here. Yes, I am. Like, I feel like that South Carolina team, although maybe this year has not been so far as good as they do. I feel like that's, that direction is up. We are the Japanese right now. We're moving on up. That stock market era is up for South Carolina. Yes, I love it. I love it. You know,

it's tough to win in the SEC, as you know, being an Arkansas fan, but we're on the way up. We just want to win once. Just once. We don't need a dynasty. We just want one. Have you watched the Florida documentary on Netflix? Yeah. So were you like, this is basically just an Urban Meyer, all it is like a glorify

Urban Meyer project. You feel like that? Yeah. Me too. I was like, I wanted, I wanted like some, and the reason I asked, because Arkansas played in that

SC championship game. Yep. And we lost, but that's the one time we ever been. Yeah. But then I was watching, I was like, I want like some of the drama. And there was some drama.

They just didn't show. They just didn't show it. They were like 50 arrests. They didn't get to any of them. It was just urban like, I work hard. So, yeah. Like he as a, he as a coach was arrested or his family.

No, no. Players, players. There's tons of them. Oh. But they really didn't talk about the drama of that team. It was basically Tebow, who I really like. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

And Urban Meyer, who, whatever. But Urban, whatever, it doesn't matter. You ever that Tim Tebow? I know, Tim. Isn't he lovely? He is so nice and such a generally good person that I always said that if Tim Tebow's good and bad, God's not fair. Yeah. Because he's perfect.

He's perfect. I am always like, is this dude real because he's so kind? He's so perfect. He must be like torturing animals in his basement or something. But he's not. I went and did, like I did, Fine Bomb and Tebow was there at the same time. And I'm like, I don't want to bother him.

And he came and sought me out. I was like, Bobby, why don't you come say hi? Like, that dude is so nice. And he's one of the rare that he kind of is what you see. It's real. I've known to him a long time. And he's just an amazingly, amazingly nice guy. And it never breaks.

He never breaks. I tried to get him to break too. I was like, you want some drugs? And he was like, no, man, I sure don't. And I was like, dang it. All right. I mean, I don't even do drugs. And I was like, hey, man.

I'm going to try that one next time I see him. Hey, you want some drugs? Just generic drug. You want some drugs and see what he says. Want some Advil? Yeah. How you been? I'm good, man.

How about you? I know you're good. I see you everywhere. I'm working. Yes, you're working. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I haven't seen each other in a bit. So I know you have the new album. I definitely want to talk about that in a second, but what have you been doing? Nothing, man. You know, touring, that tour, I toured all summer, which was great. You know, kids are now going to college and graduate in college

and everybody's out of the house, so I'm just playing a lot of golf and having a lot of fun. Is it weird to have kids graduating? Because that's like real, they're real, real adults now. Yeah, it's weird. It's weird having the last one go to college, you know, and leave town and leave the house. It's pretty weird, but I'm proud of my kids. They're all doing great.

So are you in Tennessee most of the time now? Yeah, I am now. Predominantly, you're here. Yeah, Jack, you know, after Jack left high school in Charleston, you know, it's just, I'm here mostly now just because it's, I like Tennessee. It's easier. Do you live near a golf course? I live right on a golf course. I knew that.

I just wanted to say that until, do you just walk out the back door and will you play like a hole or Chip in the evening? Yes. I live right on number three and I'll get up in my golf cart and go, you know, chip or whatever I want to do. I love it. That's the life. It is the life.

That's the life. That's the life. What is your handicap? It's 3.9, I think, right now. That's good. Do you constantly, is it always moving? Yes. I got down to a 1-7 earlier this year.

Wow. Yeah, I shot 6970 back-to-back days. So it plummeted, but it's back up to about a four where it should be. And you should be. still love to play golf? Live for it. I wake up every morning and want to play golf. Why are, because I play a decent amount now, why are we so obsessed with golf? Like, what is it that, because we can do anything. We can play pickleball. We could play basketball. What is it about golf that is not just, I will do it when I have free time, but it's like an obsession because I have a putter

right here behind me. Like I think about it so much. Why do you think that is? Because you want to get better. It's like, I, I'm never, you know, I'm an okay basketball player. You know, pickleball, I don't have the knees for and everything. Like golf is just, it's never the same. Every two, every round's different. And just being outside and being with your buddies, it's just something about golf that I can't play enough. Like, I think I'm going to play 300 rounds this year.

Wow. Yeah. That's a lot. That's a lot of golf. Do you get to play pretty much, can you call anywhere and be like, I'm dairy? Yeah, you know, most places I have friends at, that I can call and go, hey, man, can we go?

Can you take me out to a pint? Valley or, you know, Augusta or whatever. And so it's pretty cool. And when we play a town, I could use it again on the best course in town just because I'm the golf guy. So I got gifted around a golf at Augusta for my birthday a couple years ago. I've been to the Masters to watch, but never been able to play. And I got gifted by my agent, like the head of CIA was like, we're going to gift you

this thing. Rob Light, yeah. But then I left CIA and I never used it. So now I'm screwed. Yep. No, no, not yet. Or can you ask him? No.

No, it's not. No. No. So now I'm asking Darius, when can you get me on? Can't help you. Okay. All right. Well, no record to promote. We'll see you guys next week. So, okay, let's talk about the record here. It's called Carolyn's boy, Jermalm, obviously. Yes. Did she get to see any of your success at all?

None. She saw the club, early club days. And then she died in like 89. And it was, you know, that was tough when we really made it because she never saw any of it. You know, and I always say if she was allowed to there, her house would be twice as big as mine. You know, and she was just an awesome human being. But that's something that's always bothered me that she never got to see it. So did she have any thoughts or advice about you trying to be a rock and roll artist? Because, again, there's no sort of security in that. What was her advice to you?

100% go do it. Really? Like I dropped out of college and I was so scared to tell her I wasn't going back. Like I was so scared to go, say, Mom, I'm not going to college this year. What year did you decide to do that? After my junior year, I was so close. I was so close a year away. And I thought she was going to destroy me.

And she said, if that's what you need to do, do it. You know, and it was just, it was, he was always my biggest support of my biggest champion. Did she see any sort of optimism regarding you guys when you're playing clubs? Was there any movement at all with, if you or who, do you, whatever it was, like when you guys were starting to be on the cusp? Or were you just, like, starting out before she passed away? No, we were really just starting out. I mean, she saw, you know, us go from five people in the club to sell it out of the club. But it was, you know, it was, we were, it was early.

It was 89. We didn't get a record deal until 91. So it was, I think actually, probably after that, but 92 we got a record deal. And so it was, she didn't see any, all she saw was the clubs getting good. And she was just wanted, she knew I wanted to sing. What kind of music did she like? She loved R&B, Al Green, you know, Al Green and Glass Side of Pipson Gospel. Shirley Caesar was played in our house all the time.

Could she sing? Much better than me. Do you think that a bit you wanted to sing because you wanted her approval of you singing because she loved to sing? That's one of the things, because she was the big singer in church. My mom got up to do a solo in church, everybody was shouting and everything. And so I think seeing her sing and seeing her be that good, I just wanted to take it to the, different level. Right before my mom died, I went in and I hosted with Kelly Rip on the daytime talk show and I did a song on guitar that said, I want my mom to see me on TV. And that was kind

of the last, that was right before my career really started to take off. So similar-ish. And I, but I did at least like start to make a little bit of money. And I make the joke that, you know, when I made my first money, I bought the two T's, teeth in a trailer. I bought me teeth and my mom a trailer. And so, you know, for me, you know, same way, I wish like she would have been able to see kind of how crazy all of this has become. Yeah, yeah, that's a great way to say it. I wish he had seen how big it got. You know, we were selling million records a week.

I wish you could have seen that. Just sat back and go, that's my boy right there. That would have been pretty awesome. So you named the record this. Now, on this record, is there anything that you did that sounds like what she would like? Or I guess I'm just trying to get into, you know, you named it after your mom, but you can name any record after your mom.

Yeah, this record was named after my mom because I was in the studio. It was the first day in the studio, and I was having a real bad day. Just a bad mental health day. It just wasn't doing good. And I sat back, and I'll never forget. I was just sitting there when they were doing some overdubs or something, and I was in a bad mood, just not a good place. And I just said, man, at the end of the day, I'm just my mom's kid.

You know, that's really what I would be just my mom's boy. And that just really brought me out of it. And I started thinking, well, I'm going to name that's album Carolyn's boy, because that was just a great moment for me. What do you think she'd be most proud of, of you right now? My longevity. I think if she was around, she would be so proud that 30 years down the road, I'm still making hits and still madder.

That would be pretty cool. Are you proud of that? That's the thing I'm most proud of. Really? Yeah. What's been the key? Getting some good friends who support you. Yeah?

You know, good friends who support you and help you out. And great songs. That's always the key. You got to have the songs. Are you constantly listening to songs? Constantly listening, constantly writing, already starting to work on the next record. Yeah, it's always happening.

And it's got to be tough. when you're such a good writer, which you are, to also listen to songs and have, at times, to pick a song you didn't write. That's tough to do. But when it happens, you know, I love the song. That song, if I told you that I had a hit with a long time ago, a few years back,

Shane McInelly and a bunch of guys wrote it. And it was one of those songs when I heard it. I called Shane and said, how could you write my life without me being in the room? You know, but I had to cut it. Who was the first artist that you heard to sing a song, or maybe writer, writer artist, that you thought that they're saying.

what I, they're speaking for me. Ashley Gourley. Like a writer here in town, yeah. I started right with Ashley. I was like, you and I think exactly the same thing. I just going to sit in this room and I want to say three words and I'm going to let you change them and make them better. What about as a, I won't say as a kid,

but even as a young adult when you're listening to, because for me it was John Mayer who would sing and I would be like, oh, man, this guy's saying what I feel. Or like a great comedian sometimes will do that. We're like, I think the same thing. Yeah. I didn't really know how to say it. As a fan, what artist did you listen to where you go, man, that's kind of like me right there?

It was R.A.m. Like, songs like World Leader Pretend and songs like that, I was just related to. I was like, that's exactly what I would want to say. Like, how I would want to say it. And so they were always writing songs that I wanted to. Did you ever get to know those guys? Very well. Michael Stipe, Bill Berry, the whole.

Mike Mills. Actually, this is, you're getting an exclusive right now. This is something no one's ever, that we're not even talked about. Mike Mills from Riam. Rick Boogovic, who's a guitar player who plays with everybody, and Steve Gorman, who's the drummer. Black Rose? Black Rose. We got a band. We've been in the studio three times.

You got a band? We're doing a record, yeah. What's it called? Booty and the Booty and the Boatfish? We haven't named it yet. We haven't named it yet, but yeah, we're going to do something special. But what kind of band is it going to be? Rock and Roll, straight rock and roll. Wow. Yeah. Interesting.

Yeah, it's rock. What do you mean straight rock and roll, though? It's like Steve said, it sounds like we took our three bands, put them together, and made a record. And it just rocks, man. It just, I was just so proud of it. It just rocks. What's a record to you songwise now?

How many tracks? I'm sure that's changed over the years. 13 for regular and then you got to, you know, put two in for Spotify, two in for Apple. Really? Yeah. How do you pick which tracks you put in for the Spotify or Apple or Target? Is it like these are pretty good?

No, I have recorded so much for a record. And I usually like all the songs I record. So you just pick the ones that. And then there's always live stuff sitting around that they want to use so you do that. Live stuff's always a good. Yeah. Because it's still the hit. Yeah, you know, you can put Let Her Cry on there and everybody's happy.

How many versions Let Her Cry have you recorded over the years? A lot. A lot. Darius, we appreciate the time. I'm going to talk to you, man. Always good. Good to you, Bobby. Thanks, Darius.

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. 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 community striving. 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 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 I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Ho' Bryant, I sit down with

Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The Hollywood Reporter ranked the 50 best TV shows of the 21st century. Why don't they just say the 2000s? Oh, is that what that meant? Yes. I'm going to be like, what's that mean? Just say the 2000s. So what do you think?

The best TV shows are the 2000s? Gosh, there's so many good ones. Breaking Bad? Breaking Bad. Game. Hold on. Number 16. Okay.

Go ahead. Eddie? Yeah, Game of Thrones has to be on there. Game of Thrones? Not on there. Wow. According to Hollywood reporter. Morgan?

Is friends in the 2000s? I don't think so. Yeah, I don't think so. But number one's Mad Men. Oh, this is my next kiss. Number two is the Sopranos. Didn't watch that either. Neither.

Number three, Succession, which I did watch and liked, but it took me a minute to get into it. And I thought, you guys are all idiots when I watched the first four episodes. I was like, I don't like the show. And then I ended up loving it. 30 Rock? Okay. The Wire.

Never watched that. Oh, lunchbox loves that. On HBO? Reservation dogs. I don't know what that is. Reservoir dogs? No, reservation dogs. Interesting.

On Hulu. Better Call Saul at 7. Girls at 8, freaks and geeks at 9. BoJack Horseman at 10. Oh my gosh. The Daily Show at 11. The Americans at 12. I did watch that.

The Russian spies at... Yeah. It was really good. 30 for 30 ESPN. Oh, I've watched those. Enlightened Atlanta breaking bad, halt and catch fire, Friday Night Lights,

Rectify a peep show. Some of those are way too cool that there's no way people really like them. They just want to put them on the list to be cool. I've only seen two of those. What is Rectify on Sundance TV? What's Sundance TV? Never heard of it.

All of that feels like you're just being a little too cool. Or maybe they're part of the production team. You know? I do have this too, which I'm pretty excited about. Sonic had asked Eddie and I to do a jingle for them. and we did it. And then we sent it over to them. And they were like, can you do it longer?

And we never get told to go longer. No. We get told to cut things short. Yeah, yeah. Can we get rid of all this? So how long was the original? Well, it was a jingle. They said, well, you and Eddie, the raging idiots, do a jingle for Sonic.

And so it was like 12 seconds. And so we sent it over. And they're like, oh, can you make it like 30 seconds? Can we ever? Don't tell us to keep going. And so we were just on the road so much that we took Brandon Ray, who produced it out on the road. And we set up a whole. And you're going to hear it with the whole producing.

It's 30 seconds, but it actually took a lot of work to do. Yeah. But I listened to it maybe a hundred times. I love it. And I showed to my kids. But you made it. I know, but then I showed it to my kids. They're like, Dad, is this going to be on TV?

This is amazing. I'm like, maybe. Maybe. Well, it's for sure going to be on the radio. It's for sure going to be on the radio. So here, I doesn't have a title, I guess. I guess it doesn't. The Sonic Jingle, Push the Red Button.

That's right. I think that'd be great. Okay. Here is called, it's this push the red button. It's only 13. 30 seconds. It's our Sonic jingle by The Raging Idiots. I drive in. Don't need much.

I'll have a root 44 cherry lime made slush. Push the red button. You can have one. Two at Sonic. Gary. I like blue coconut. That one's great. Okay. But what does grandma want? Just push the red button at Sonic. Just push the red button.

Two or three. Add Sonic. I like it. Give us a Grammy? Is there like a jingle Grammy? I don't know. I'm sure there is. Give us one anyway. Give us a Grammy?

Start with us. We've been the first one. Scoob, are they happy with it? Oh, do they love it. They are all about it. I drive in. Don't need much. I have a root 44 cherry lime made slush.

It's catchy for sure. Hey, we can even sing this on the road if it's a big hit. We need like four more verses. A real story behind it. I'm on the app. I'm install three. Okay, well, thanks to this. Sonic because they hired us to do it and we're pretty proud of it.

One more time from the top, 30 seconds, hit it. I drive in, don't need much. I'll have a root 44 cherry lime-made slush. Push the red button, you can have one to add Sonic. Oh, yeah. Jerry, I like blue coconut. But what does grandma want? Just push the red button, you can have one to add Sonic.

Just push the red button, you can have one to add Sonic. Just push the red button you can have one too. At Sonic. Come on. Give us two Grammys. Let's go. You're the only one clapping no idea. I think it's awesome.

I know. I just feel... There we go. I feel like there could be for the other verses or different versions of it. Oh, she's writing it now. Oh.

Like what, Amy? You want to be a writer now? Now she's all of a sudden she's got a melody. She's writing lyrics too. No. Well, thank you guys. Hopefully you'll hear it again

and it doesn't die right now. Oh, yeah. Oh, I feel like that's going to live on forever. On the phone right now is Carrie, who lives in Indiana. Carrie, thank you for calling the show. What's going on? I would love your advice opinion. So my 20-year-old son is a huge gamer.

He has the monitor, all the stuff plays in tournaments. He says to me last night, Mama, what you think about something? Let me know if you're okay with this. But the people I've been playing with for seven years, we all want to meet in New York City. And I say, you didn't even know these people, like he's never met them. He says, I said, why in New York City? because the one guy lived there. I'm not comfortable.

I mean, my mom instinct is absolutely not. But I don't understand the gaming world. I feel like even Eddie said that you had met someone who played with as a thing. Is this normal? Should I let him do it? He's like one of our good friends now. Andrews are great.

Andrew's awesome, yeah. So here's what I say. First of all, he's 20. Let's make sure that. And he still may live under your roof and take your resources. I don't know. So if that's the case, you do have a little more say, but he's 20.

and so he's an adult. So. Developmentally, is he 20? Yeah, developmentally is he 20? It's a great question. He's very sweet. I feel like of all my boys when I'm in a nursing home, he'll take care of me.

He's that one. Yeah. I don't. Oh, we got you. No, we got you. He's maybe too nice for his own good sometimes. Like too kind for his own good sometimes. People can take advantage of him.

Yeah. Okay. You can't guard him forever. So eventually you're going to have to let him run off and do things. I would say, too, that if he's been consistent with him for seven years, it's pretty safe. That we knew Andrew for like four months and we're like, come to a show, come hang out, come to the house. The people that you game with, you probably talk to more than anybody else in your life if you're a big gamer. And if it's been that consistent for seven years, I don't think any of those gamers are rapers and murderers and stabbers and killers.

That's are committed. Yeah, like they're secretly doing it for years. As long as it's not like a girl he just met that's suckering him and it's people. that he's really been consistent with, I think it's safe for him to go. I think it's very safe for him to go. Now, New York itself is a whole other thing. Now, we're talking about the gamer.

But, you know, but he'll be fine. If you trust him and he's responsible, he'll be fine. Don't let the gaming and the headset thing throw you into thinking that's any shadier than it actually is. I just also, too, wanted to say, I don't know if they have a relationship outside of gaming, like on social media.

Are they on Instagram or do they follow each other? And that way, maybe if you wanted to encourage him to kind of do some research and figure out more about them and who he's meeting, that would be good. Yeah. How old are they? What did he look like? Yeah. Ask those questions. Yeah. Ask those questions. But on the surface, I feel like this is good because they've been gaming together so long. And big shout out to Andrew. Andrew's been on this show. Remember he said and did segments? We've seen Andrew probably five times. Yeah. Andrew comes to the house.

So I was on Twitter and I said, we needed a new player for our NBA 2K league. And he's like, I'll do it. And he at the time he was still in at Kansas in undergrad. At that point, we've watched him graduate college. He's now closer to being an attorney. He's in law school. We're proud of him. It's awesome. Yeah, he comes.

He's our dude. If we're near in Kansas somewhere and he can't come, he's like, guys, I can't come. I'm so sorry. We're like, dang it. It could also be really great for him. Yeah, he could FaceTime him. FaceTime. I mean, I don't know.

In gaming, do you only hear in the headset, there's a video? For the most part. Unless somebody's streaming, they're playing. Carrie, I think that there are a couple things that he could do for you to make you feel more comfortable as in talk to them on FaceTime once or see their social media profiles, but I feel like it is safe.

What about, what about she goes to New York with him? Oh my God, no. Hold it. Hold it. No, no. She stays in a hotel while he goes and hangs out with his butts. He's 20 years old. And in case something goes wrong, she's there. Okay.

To protect him. Can you? Yes. Leave it to the helicopter parent. Oh, my God. Carrie, I think based on what you've told me, I would feel, I mean, not great because obviously you're not going to feel great about it, but I would feel pretty good from me to you. I would say that it feels pretty safe if they've been gaming that long together. Okay.

Thank you for the call. I really appreciate it. And let us know how it goes. All right. Thank you. All right. Bye-bye. She's definitely going to New York now.

For sure. He's not going to be on the plane right behind that plane. Slowly following. Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day. In for lunchbox. Who's sick? It's Eddie.

There's a guy who's got a warrant for his arrest. And he's like, I'm not turning myself in. And then I guess one day he says, you know what, let me do the right thing. So props to him, he gets in his car. He heads to the police station and turn himself in. He's got guns and roses blaring on the radio. Turn it up, Ray. He hits the gas.

It goes right into the police station. Through the front door. Was that a message? Yeah, dude. He's going to do it. He's going to do it in style. He gets out of the car. He gets out of the car, puts his hands up.

Arrest me. I'm here. Is he drunk? I guess. Either that or he's just not right. Both could be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, both. But hey, he put his hands up.

He says, all right, take me in. I'm ready to go. I hear you just got to crash into somebody sitting like a desk or something. Oh, he'd kill somebody. Sure. But he didn't, right? Yeah. But important, he was listening to Guns and Roses.

Yeah, absolutely. But he didn't kill anybody, right? Didn't hurt anyone. Then it's hilarious. It's all on surveillance video, too. Except for the taxpayer dollars, it's still hilarious. Yeah, they got to fix that. Yeah, I just got to say that, though, so I don't get the complaints.

Still hilarious. Okay, thank you. All right, that's your bonehead story of the day. Please, please, please, please. Let Arkansas win this weekend. Golly. Oh, you need it. I don't need it for any money or reason.

No, you need it for yourself. Yeah. We're playing Ole Miss. We're 11 point underdog. I just, that's all I want. I have a show on Saturday night. What time is the game? It's a night game.

And we're shooting a special Saturday. Oh, no. Yes. So I just need Arkansas to win. And then I want to have a good show. in that order. Yeah, that'd be nice. I got a show Saturday night,

and so we're going to be in town, which is pretty nice. We'd love a win, but that's all. That's my plan for the weekend, you? A W. I have a wedding shower. A W.

A win. Big W for Arkansas. That's what I'm hoping for, too. For you. But yeah, hosting a wedding shower. So, and one of the, this is planning,

get there early, plan for that. Yeah, I got you. Eddie spaghetti? Football game. My son's football game in the morning. Got a baseball game in the afternoon. And then,

I don't know, Maybe a little something in night. Oh, I don't care. You can. What? I'm going to go see Bobby at night. We're going to do a little set at my show. Oh.

He doesn't show up to every show, but the ones he does. But, I mean, you're right down the road, so why not? Why not? Oh, well, if I didn't have the wedding shower. Of course. Oh, for sure. I would totally come do whatever you needed. Yeah, good.
