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 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'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 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.

I feel like it's Mercury. I need an answer. Mercury. That answer is. Correct. Hello, Bobby Bones. I have an issue with a few of my friends who are always late, not five minutes late, 20, 30, sometimes 45 minutes late. At first, I brushed it off. Life happens. But after years of this, it's starting to feel less accidental and more on purpose. I'm always the one sitting at the restaurant alone, guarding the table or standing awkwardly at the bar pretending I'm just early. Do you stop inviting people who are chronically late to things you're doing? Is this a lower your expectation situation? Or do you set boundaries and cut them out of your life? signed always on time. It's very much a lower your expectations and then don't just invite them places when they have to be on time.

Yeah, you don't have to cut them out. They can be in things where it doesn't matter what time they arrive. But they're not coming to things where they have to be on time. You could also, have you had a conversation? Oh, I'm sure. People that are late. They know what they're doing. They just don't care enough to change it.

If you're chronically late, you know what you're doing all the time. You don't have respect for the other people. So I have friends that are chronically late. There are certain things we invite them to, certain things we don't. If they're just coming over to the house, then we know they're probably going to be 20, 30, 40 minutes late. And that's an understanding. But if it's something where you have to be some more on time,

they just don't get invited. It's on them. They're going to lose out, but you can't continue to be disappointed by the things they continue to do. They've given you every signal on how they're going to live their life. You can say to them, man, when you guys are late, it makes it really hard on me. And if they don't change, then you have to change.

I don't think you have to kill them or anything. But there are certain expectations you have to have with people that have given you reasons to have those expectations. And yeah, they don't respect your time. They probably would grow up in a culture though where being on time wasn't the thing. Boom. No, not boom. That's it. That's how we grew up.

I remember growing up in the culture where like, man, you were going to be somewhere like not. The party starts at 9 o'clock, right? You get there at 10. A party's different because there are multiple people there. Okay, fine. Dinner. Dinner, meet us at the restaurant 7. No problem. We'll be there at 7.30, 745.

Dude, that's so disrespectful. That's so disrespectful. And never did we see it as disrespectful. It was just kind of how it goes. So was everybody showed up that late? Yeah. Sometimes people were early. Sometimes people were later. Yeah. You don't live on an island. It's not island time. You know, you used to tell me the wrong time. Yeah, I would do that with a lot of people. And then I just understood, I'm not having them people around anymore. If it's something where we have to be on time and they're not on time, they just will not be invited to come.

because it's not worth it. So they've given you a reason to feel that way. Act accordingly. Hey, cut them out of your life. I'm mad now. That's so disrespectful of people. A cutout seems a little extreme. You have to just figure out what friends can do what.

That's the advice that I would give you. Now, if it's a work situation, you don't. They don't work there anymore. That's also that, but that's friends. So that's what I'll say. Thank you. Close it up. I've got my Valentine's Day figured out.

And I'm pretty happy about it. So we talk about it. Not every couple celebrates Valentine's Day the same. And it's hard because it's on weekend night. I think it's on Saturday night. Celebrating mine on the 12th this year. Why are you doing it a little different? Smart.

I'm asking. Eddie, do you know about our Valentine's Day plans? I don't. So we were going to dinner, me and my wife, Eddie, his wife, last week. It got canceled. And so we rescheduled it to the 12th. And my wife said that counts as Valentine's dinner. She said that?

Yep. Whoa. Does yours count? Hey, I haven't asked, but maybe I'll ask her. Hey, we're having this dinner with Bobby and Caitlin. Does this count? We're going to a nice place. But the 12th, Valentine's on the 14th.

So? Yeah. And the fact that your wife said that, that counts. I mean, she said it. So is bought, oh, sweet. Bobby's going to pay for Eddie's Valentine's. Oh, dude, that's even better. That's amazing.

That wasn't part of the deal. Oh, it's not. Yeah, but you know you're probably going to pay for the dinner. Are you? I often do. Yeah, I know, but I often offer, I get my wallet out and like, oh, okay, no, thanks, Bobby. I appreciate that, dude. It's a good point.

Maybe I shouldn't pay for his dinner then because it is Valentine's Day. True. Okay, well, if you don't pay, then it's definitely our Valentine's Day, too. But do you want me to pay? But could you still count it as your Valentine's dinner if I paid? Amy, let me ask you ever for you to. Well, I mean, I guess he could, but he needs to do something else for his wife. Why?

Why? If Bobby's already doing that with his wife and we're at the same dinner table. Now we're talking about if Bobby picks up the bill. Okay. Then use that money to give your wife something else. Because you already like return the Christmas present you got her. And now here we are Valentine's Day. And you need to get her something.

I forgot about the Christmas present. You're right. Man, that's a good, dude, that's awesome that your wife did that though. I'm almost positive. She said you can count it or maybe she said, or maybe she said, are you going to count it? Either way. I heard count. Oh, either way.

I didn't even factor it in. And they changed the date. dinner. Big difference. I don't know, man. I think that connection can be drawn. And, you know, she's pregnant. She doesn't feel good a lot of times. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, if she's going to get dressed and put forth the effort of like getting ready and going out, then yeah, I would be like, yeah, let's do this. Don't do another dinner two nights later. You know, that's a lot. I love the idea. I love the idea. I love the idea. And if you pay even better, dude. Maybe I get her roses afterwards and that kind of counts. You want Bobby to buy those too?

No, no, no, I got that. Secretly. No, I got that. I got that covered. I probably need to recheck, but I think the 12th counts is Valentine's dinner. Yeah. I mean, I guess that makes sense. You're still going to do something else, though.

What? No. Not dare. You're going to do something. You'll do a little something. Gift giving is your love language. You can't tell me what I'm doing and what my language is. I'm not.

But anyway, I thought we got it. I thought we kind of. That's pretty good, man. Got a little bonus. You know what I mean? Really good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the kids.

the biggest moments in sports and entertainment. And the next, we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast,

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 then see all these people come up to me for pictures,

it's like, what? But 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 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. It's your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of

plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech, and the future of humanity. The hosts always act like they know what they're talking about, and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director.

Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean, like, the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president. Those law crusette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time.

I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah, it is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes.

Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Poll show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? I don't know if he listens to the show, but I want to shout out Kenneth Harrell in St. Louis,

bad, bad weather like a lot of the country did, and his roads were bad in his neighborhood, and they weren't doing much about it. So he just went and rented a skid steer and did it himself. Oh, that's cool. Paid 500 bucks and rented the thing, which is a, it's a small construction vehicle. It's like a bulldozer, just a small one. And so he just paid for it and started clearing the streets. That's awesome.

They're like, they're not coming here. So I guess I'll go do it. paid his own money. A local restaurant owner saw him doing it and was like, hey, would you come and like help out with some of the spaces there? So he did.

It just turned into a big thing. Like they should go fund me for like a thousand dollars. Max it out of a thousand. But go fund me like a thousand bucks for him. He paid $500 for that and the work that he did. But a big shout out

because he wasn't looking for money and he used his own money to Kenneth Harrell in St. Louis who made everybody's life a little easier in St. Louis. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. I'll go first.

Despite the, myths. Your hair and fingernails don't keep growing after you die. Because people have often said your hair keeps growing. In that case, you'd open up, you know, whatever you're buried in, and it'd just be all hair. It'd look like 80s hair band. It's a good point. Yeah, so it grows for a second, but it doesn't grow forever. You know what grows as you get older though? Your nose. Your nose. So why old people have huge noses. Yeah. It'd be an honor to have a long nose because that means He lived a long time. Yeah.

Noses and earses. All right, Amy, you're up. Music lights up nearly all parts of the brain, including the hippocampus and the amygdala. The area is tied to memory and emotion. So if you're looking to reward your brain, stir up feelings, trigger memories, maybe just help you feel good, not necessarily sad. Listen to music. As part of David Hasselhoff's divorce settlement with Pamela Bach back in 2008,

one of the things he fought for was the catchphrase don't hassle the Hoff. He won it. I never heard that. I haven't either. He didn't use that more. Speaking of yours about music, you know he's an artist, right? David Hasseloff? I didn't know that. It's massive in Germany.

Oh, I think that part I did. That's not a joke, by the way. I was waiting for the punchline. No, no, no, he's massive in Germany. I think that part I did. Unfortunately for David Hasselhoff, I know he has other things going on in his life. Is he still alive? Yeah, I think so.

He's still around. Okay, that'd be one I'd be unsure about if you ever asked me. But all I think about with him is when he was drunk eating that hamburger and his daughter recorded him and it was so sad. He's 73 years old. What was wrong with him eating the hamburger? Was he saying about that? He was wasted.

Yeah, it just was a really sad moment and his daughter was recording it. It went super viral. Yeah. Do you want a David Hasselhoff? Fun fact. Sure. Did you already have that? Well, you mentioned that about Germany and so I have some stuff about him in German.

Oh, okay. So he's way more famous in Germany. In the late 80s, his song, Looking for Freedom. hit number one in Germany and became the unofficial anthem of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Dang. Wow. So we see like a lifeguard running down the beach or driving an 80s car. They see him as like a real rock hero. That's crazy.

That's crazy. Lunchbox. Back in 1999 during Toy Story 2, they were almost done with the movie and someone at Pixar ran the wrong command. Deleted 90% of the movie. Fired. Can't you undo that? Oh. luckily they had backups, but the backups failed. And they were like, what are we going to do?

Well, there was a woman on maternity leave that had a copy at her house. Oh, wow. And that's how the movie Toy Story 2 was saved. She had it on her personal computer at home and she was on maternity leave. That's amazing. That's a good one. Eddie? Okay, so speaking of animals, animal crackers, there are 19 different animal shapes in the Animal Cracker Zoo,

which is crazy because I feel like every time I eat them, I just have elephants. and like the same ones. But there are giraffes. There's a camel. I've never seen any of these. A bear? I don't think I've seen an animal cracker in a long time, though. We have like a big bucket.

So good. I like them. I like them. Not too sweet. They're perfect. And so there are how many? It said 19 total. Huh. You know the original animal crackers were meant to be eaten while standing them up?

What do you mean? Well, the original animal crackers were meant to be eaten while standing them up, not just snacked on. When Nabiscoe introduced Barnum's animals in 1902, the box even looked like a circus train. Remember that? Yeah, I do remember that. And that the kids were encouraged to play with the animals before eating them. So they were toys first.

Oh, that's disgusting. Like use them as toys and then eat like play. I got you. So play with them first, then eat them. But that sounds just gross. Yeah. Like play a whole day and have them after. All right, Morgan.

Bald Eagles take five years to grow in that iconic look. So they aren't born with a bright white head or yellow beaks. They're actually, when they're juvenile, they're dark and really intense. and then they're called immatures and they look really patchy. And then finally after they hit that five-year mark is when they get the crisp white head and yellow beak, yellow eyes, that whole look.

You know the sound, well, make a sound of a bald eagle, Amy, you go. Yeah, not real. Hollywood puts those in. Eagles actually make lighter, weaker, sea goal-y type sounds. But the thing we hear, ha! That's all Hollywood movies.

And you hear it bounce off the mountains? Yeah. Yeah, because they're a sea eagle. I didn't know that. I thought they were just like a regular bird. Huh? An eagle is known as the sea eagle. A seagull?

Mm-hmm. Sea eagle. Sea eagle. Not a seagull. There's an episode of My Strange Addiction about this woman that eats her toenails all time. Yeah. She eats her toenails.

So he's upset because he eats his toenails. Let me play you this clip from the TV show My Strange Addiction. My Name is Janet. I live in Hedger'sville, West Virginia. And I'm addicted to eating toe nails. I eat my nails every day. When I see, you know, any nails growing in, I just go straight for it and just like biting on them, chewing them. This toenail is so salty right now.

It tastes so good. I have been eating toenails for about 26 years now. I started eating toenails when I was about eight or nine years old. When I do bite my toenails, I bite them till there's no more nails to bite enough to eat them. Listen, I bite off my fingernails sometimes. time, so I'm not acting like I'm better than this, but I don't look forward to it because I just can't get enough. I bite them because I'm watching an Arkansas basketball game. I'm like, oh boy, I hope we don't lose. But lunchbox is upset because he's been talking on this show that he eats his toenails, but also you make a whole ceremony of it.

Yeah, I'll be sitting there watching TV and I will sit there and pick them off. I don't use clippers. I use my fingers and I rip them, and then I line them up across my thigh, and I just go down and I just kind of eat them in my mouth. Sometimes I just put them in between my teeth, you know what I mean? Like play around with them in the mouth for a little bit. And then I start chewing. Amy, what are you doing? I just feel, I'm like, I've got, I know I've heard this for years, but something is just extra gross about it right now and I want to vomit. No, but I saw this and I'm like, another shot at being on TV and it doesn't come to me.

Like, how did they find? Well, did you submit yourself? Because she probably did. I understand. I didn't know they were looking for someone that eats their toenails. and maybe she has a leg up on me because I watched the clip and she was at the gym and she could go sit on the bench and she was able to take her foot to her mouth and just bite it off.

I couldn't do that. She probably stretches though to be able to do that. I mean if she's been doing it consistently since she was eight, then it is what is. Do you look forward to eating your toenails? I mean, it's a good snack. Like if I'm just watching TV. It's not a snack.

Well, what is it then? It's a gross habit. A disgusting. So why is it not considered a snack? You eat things and it's a snack? Because you're not eating it to like be There's no sustenance. Oh, you don't think that's protein.

I don't. It's calcium, right? It's hair. Whatever our hair, Curitine, whatever, what's our hair made of? Because that's what our nails are made of. Oh, if it's creatine, that's keratin. Not creatine, carotin maybe.

A little bit. You actually eat it at lunchbox? Like you ingest it? Yes, Eddie, I chew it and then I swallow it. Yeah, toenails are primarily composed of keratin. They also contain trace amounts of minerals like calcium, iron, zinc. Oh, God.

Lunchbox's taking a vitamin. He's doing daily vitamins. We're giving them our time. He's doing daily vitamins. But yes, another chance out the window. So congrats to her, but I was so upset. Oh. Okay.

Congrats to her. Yeah. Anyway, I just wanted him to share that with you guys. I felt like it's a good morning for you guys to hear that. What? I just want to say that it is not advised to eat toenails because even though, yes, They are made of keratin, or however you say it. They're not, it's not really, it's indigestible keratin, they say, and can carry harmful

bacteria, fungi, and dirt from your shoes. Then it's directly on your mouth, which would cause an infection, which could explain how he gets these huge diseases in his throat. I tell you had a yeast infection in your mouth. Maybe. They call it a destructive habit. And maybe it's infected your gut, dude. And now your gut hurts.

What if all of his problems are because he eats his toenails? Oral thrush. That just sounds bad. He said he had that. That was his nickname at college. That's what the infection of my throat was. Oral thrush. Yeah.

We didn't eat. You got it from eating your toe down. He's what it is. We've diagnosed it. Amy, good job. Yeah, no problem. Two things happened here. One, we were all sicked out and two, we diagnosed lunchbox as the illness.

It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Shout out to America's vet dogs because they just gave U.S. Army veteran Mark Patton a service dog. And he was deployed to Iraq, Kuwait. He suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries, loss of mobility. He has PTSD, depression, anxiety.

And he waited nearly a year to get matched with this service dog Shane. And it's going to completely change his life. Yeah. And the reason that that's such a big story is they cost so much. They're like 20 grand a dog. This particular dog, they say they spend more than $50,000 to breed, raise, and train each dog to work with these type of vets. So yeah, maybe it's... You totally minimize my story.

No, but we had bought like three or four from military folks from this show. And so, and then I'd also done some work with Purina and we'd got vets dogs. And so, hey, maybe inflation. Oh, yeah. Maybe it was 20 grand five years ago. And now it's... No, I think we did. We got the dogs.

No, we did get the dogs like... Thanks, Obama. Maybe like, it was over five years ago. So, yeah, maybe a little inflation. Maybe depending on, because he has the list of things. have going on that the dog can tend to. Yeah, no, it's crazy the amount of money these dogs are. And I'm sure dogs that have to be trained for different needs even more.

But that's a great story. Big shout to that organization because they really need these dogs. And they deserve to have these dogs. And that's a great one. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Wake up in the morning. And you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turn.

Steve Red Abbott's trying to put you through Mike is writing this week's next bit Now Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is The Bobby Vaughn's story Morning Corny, let's go The Morning Corny What kind of dough does a gamer use What kind of dough?

D-O-U-G-H, okay, does a gamer use? Yeah, what? Nintendo So dumb. That was the morning corny. Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day. This story comes us from Indianapolis, Indiana.

A 49-year-old man was staying with his brother and it's cold outside and the gas lines are kind of frozen. He's like, don't worry, guys. I got a blow torch. I'll get in there and I'll thaw them out. The gas lines with fire. Make sure I'm hearing this right. Yeah. Got it.

So he crawled down in the crawled. space got the blow torch and you know what happened next. I would suspect nothing good. No, the house caught on fire. Yeah, yeah. That's something bad. Yeah, and so the brother, the dog, and him,

they all got out with the house. But nobody died. No one died. And this isn't one of those where you're changing it because we can't have deaths in the bonehead, but sometimes you'll lie. No, no, there's no lie. Just so he can do it?

Yeah, so if people die, he'll just be like, and everybody live, but I look back at the story and somebody died. Or I'll just say, ah, you know, condition unknown. Okay. No, no, but they all escaped, but the house suffered a lot of damage. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I got Eddie a blow torch for Christmas. I know better than that. Did you use it on your faucet? No, I use it on the driveway. Yeah. Worked, huh? I kind of sort of.

Oh. Like, he fired the driveway and it melted the ice. It's pretty cool. That would still freak me out. I know better not to do that on a gas line. I'm not a bonehead. There you go. You're not.

All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the day. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

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. 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 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. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything.

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Kugler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the president? You think Canada has a president?

You think China has a president? Those law cruzette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one.

I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong.

Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. So if we go back to Christmas, this guy got a scratch off and he hit for $100,000 bucks. The story just came out. So they do scratch off tickets as gifts and he got his and you just got his $100,000. That's crazy. That's crazy. Just scratching one.

It would be so fun. I invested so much money, except it's not an investment. It's in it. You have to be, that's crazy to me. That you scratch off. I just wouldn't believe it. Even if I were in like Arkansas. say this. If we're in Fayetteville, and I get a scratch off and I hit 100,000 bucks, I'm looking

around the room to see where all you suckers are to see if somehow you gave me a fake one. Who did this? Yes. So there's that one. And the second one is, this guy goes in for a gallbladder surgery and left for the vasectomy. Oh. Oh. That's the worst. George thought he was going under the knife for gallbladder surgery, but later learned he'd been treated for a complimentary vasectomy instead. Oh, complimentary. Complementary? Oh. Oh, yeah. That's like breakfast. Oh. Oh, yeah. like super eight they got the complimentary yeah wait so did his gallbladder get removed too the original surgery was postponed a day due to circumstances outside of his control the small detail ended up causing confusion that made its way to the surgical orders and now it's malpractice and so it's

a scandal so yeah because he was delayed a day stuff got mixed up okay he was able to get the correct surgery while doctors pointed fingers as to who was to blame for the error of the vasectomy from oddity central and you can reverse the vasectomy I guess if you really want to to do that. Yeah, but then... I mean, it's not 100% though. It's not. And then it's like, now you've had two surgeries on your junk. Remember when Scuba like blew his out?

Oh yeah, because he went home and... Like did it right away with his wife. They told him not to. I have a mastectomy. I need action. You're like a caveman. Well, it was a euphoric moment. My wife would want me to do this and we just looked each other in the eyes and there we were. You're a caveman.

And then you hurt yourself, right? Yeah, I was hurt for like almost two weeks because you weren't supposed to do it right afterwards, just to wait. Of course. Yeah, let it heal, but I did not. Worth it. It's like having surgery on your elbow and get an arm wrestling match as soon as you get home. You can't do that crap. Would you change now in retrospect?

No, because, I mean, knowing how it's going to feel afterwards, I think the feeling of the first one supersedes the second one. I don't know what he's, yeah. What do you mean? I can't say too much because, I mean, it's a little graphic. It was worth it, though. It was worth it, yes. For a week of pain? Yeah, because she was...

That's enough. I don't even want to hear everything. She looked to in his eyes, man. I don't want to hear it. I'm still not... I'm still not understanding. No, dude, it's good. I think it's one of those better not to understand.

I can tell you later. So some people came to your house and were going to fix your trees in your yard or what? They were knocking on all the doors in my neighborhood for tree clean up and pick up. And they were from Florida. Yeah. And they said they came up straight away to help out. And I was like, oh, well, that's really awesome. Well, for work.

Yeah. Like we used to, when I roof houses, we would go to states that had tornadoes or bad, like, hailstorms. Because there were so many people that needed it. Everybody locally could not get to everybody that needed it. So you knew there was plenty of work. So we would do that. Okay. If there's plenty of work, I instantly thought of like, oh, I mean, I ended up hiring a local company.

Like a guy that does stuff in my house anyway, they were able to still do the tree stuff, which not a lot of yard companies can. They're not equipped. but I was like, oh, dang, are you all taking jobs from the people here? But there's so much that it's hard to keep up. So it was, yeah, I guess they just go where the work is. Yeah, if you want it to be done in a timely fashion, whenever it's a complete disaster like it is here, everybody local is not going to be able to do it timely.

Because I'm sure, like, the guys that were doing our trees, they probably get asked by 25 people, but we work with them a lot. So they probably put us on the front of the list. but if you're a person 8, 9 through 25, you want it done now. Right. And also, they're working. I mean, they're not scamming you. No.

Yeah. I mean, I don't think they are. That's what I thought when they knocked on my door. Two days after it, I was like, scammer. No, not. They could be, but that's not generally the case. It's people coming in town because they know there was damage. And that's what they do at home and there may not be a lot of work right now.

Right. Because we would do that all the time if there would be storms. Like we'd go into Tennessee or Missouri, especially, or north Texas and go, hey, we'd see where the damage was. Or even on a more local level, we'd drive to different lakes if there was storms, like find seawall damage, because what we do, we'd drive up in a boat, flat bottom,

destroyed seawalls and go up and knock on the doors. Like, hey, do you know, you got a seawall issue? And we'd put a bid in, that kind of thing. I got bids. So I got a couple of bids because I really had no idea and ended up going with the guy that I work with. I trust him, A, but then B, he was half. My other bid was double.

And I was like, well, I guess I don't know how to even know because I've never had anything like this happen in my yard. Yeah, it's a mess. So it's just like, I was surprised how drastic the quote was. Was he like going to give me a massage or something after? No, I mean, I feel like he. Just going to be he has a lot of work. And so he's, if the work he's going to take, if he's in such demand, maybe it's just going to cost more to get him. Yeah.

I just was like, oh, it's quite the difference. Eddie says his son wants to be just like him now. Dude is crazy. He told my wife. He said, I want to be just like dad. Strong and fit. Hey! I was like, he said, what? He's like, yeah. He said, I want to be just like dad.

Strong and fit. So that's awesome to me that my son sees me that way. Good. Strong and fit, because I'm definitely not strong and fit. Okay, you're saying that. Because those two laughed hard when you said that. They laughed a little too hard. Well, I think, because my kids will come and sometimes, like, rub my arm, whatever.

They'll be like, Mom, your arms are so soft. Like, but they mean and squishy. They say the word soft and squishy. And I'm like, uh, go away. That's rude. I know, but they're not meaning it as rude. They kind of feel, but I'm like, oh, I need to go lift heavy or something.

But your kids see you as not soft and squishy. And then every day I kind of say like, man, I really want to go to the gym today. I never really go. But I say it. So maybe in their mind like, oh, maybe when we were at school, dad went to the gym. You know? So. In their mind, I'm very bit and healthy and strong.

Bobby, go rub his, go see if he feels soft and squishy. He doesn't. I'm not soft and squishy. Well, my stomach's a little soft and squishy. You want to feel my arm? I mean, you can bring it over here. I felt your arm before. Feel it.

No, don't flex. It has to be just be casual. He's just watching TV right now. That's how I've watched TV. It's been bigger. But it's okay. We used to work out really consistent. Heck, I haven't worked out in three months because of my.

ankle surgery. Yeah. So it used to be harder. I think the fast got me a little bit, you know. I mean, I didn't eat for 20 days. Ate some of your muscle. Do you want to fill me? Yes.

We're not working out for three months. Absolutely. Okay. Dang, that's still hard. Is it? That's still hard. Has it been bigger? I don't think the fast in 20 days did that to you.

Oh, no. Muscle. Are you not losing? Deeriation can set in pretty quickly. My protein intake wasn't there, dude. He was eating beans. Stop. You didn't go on a fast for three weeks and lose all your muscle.

You're not Gandhi, okay? All right. Okay, so cool, Eddie. I thought that was cool. That should make you feel good. Did they mean, like literally? Amy, they said, quote, strong and fit. Okay.

Yeah, I guess they did. Ray, one of your friends were talking about me? Yeah, she was just asking, she goes, not necessarily how you've become successful. She just said, what does he do that makes him successful? successful. What did you answer? The easiest way for me to answer was I just said he compartmentalizes. He wouldn't, while he's at the Bobby Bone show, he's not going to be worrying about stuff at home. Oh my, I need to work on my pickleball court. He would never do that while he's at work.

So whatever he's faced with, he's working on in that moment. How did this come up in conversation? She was just wondering. She's like, you're next to him every day. How is he literally that successful? What does he do? And I said he compartmental. You do compartmentalize. But working next to every day, I have a different thing, but I don't, I want to. Is it soft and squishy? Safe space? I wanted to, like, it's. There's no such thing as a safe space in this room. You know that. I know you're safe. I think that this make, I think people will agree. We do fake safe space. We promise you're safe and then we attack. I think you might agree. But something I've noticed over the years because, I mean, 20 years of different watching you take on different things. So starting off with you just. watching you do radio.

But then even in Austin, you became a rapper. I was kept to cocaine. So that was one of the first times I saw this. It was like, it didn't matter. You just, you were a rapper. You didn't like second guess it. You just went and did it and you made it. Nothing anybody said was going to stop you.

It was like part of your, this has always been your part of identity. This is what you do. We come to Nashville now. You're in country music. You just do it. You start a band. I have a band. Of course I have a band.

I'm a musician. I have a band. I make music. I write music. I'm a writer. I'm a comedian. And now I go do comedy shows. But it's like all the evolution of all the things. When I've watched you pursue them, you pursue them as if that's what you've always been. And it doesn't matter. Like, because my brain second guess is stuff that I want to go do. I'm like, oh, I'm an idiot. Like I'm not, why would I go do that? That's not who I am. You know, your brain doesn't do that. At least I don't think. My, what I've taken in watching you

over the years is there's no way your brain does that. Your brain does not have that option. it's straight ahead like, you know, duh, I'm a comedian. Duh, I go on a comedy tour. It's obviously what I do. And then you go and you sell out and you keep doing it. And then you go to the next thing. Like, oh, of course I'm a mentor on American Idol. You know, like it's just, am I close?

Yeah, no, I think, sure. That's your perspective and your opinion, so you're not wrong. I think there are two things that successful people, the ones that I know that they have in common. number one is the ability to keep going. That's the hardest because it's all that didn't work out at first. And sometimes it's always that didn't work out. And number two is an irrational confidence in yourself.

I think that's where I'm at. Yeah. And I have a wildly irrational confidence in myself that I can do anything I want. Like I'm going to write a New York Times bestiller. I'm going to write a book. I'm an author. There's no reason I should just write in a book. But I was like, if other people can do this, why can't I do it? I have an irrational confidence in every single thing that I do.

But if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to do things that are irrationally that are abnormal. Yeah, I could have summed it up in irrational confidence. I didn't know exactly what it was called. But that's just what I've witnessed over there. I'm like, he just goes for it. Yeah. And not that there haven't been failures, but it doesn't matter. Like, you just are.

Yes, I'm irrationally confident that I can do anything. I think if I ran for president, I would be president. But then you also have the side of you that's like, ugh, but. Nobody's going to read it. Oh, for sure. That is a big imposter syndrome that always lives within myself. Always. But the irrational confidence trumps it.

For sure. Yep. I believe I can do anything in the whole world. If I had to quit this job today and I had to go be an investment banker, I'd be number one. I could be a head coach of a college football team in two years. I have no doubt. Yeah, it's almost like, it feels delusional. For sure.

It is delusional. And then you like, and then you do it. And you're like, okay, guys it's on delusional. Are you shocked when you do it? Like when it happens? No, because he expects it. There are times where I'm like, huh. Look what I do.

That's crazy. After I'm done, like after I get away from it, I'll look back and like writing books. I don't know how to write books. I don't know how to write books. And I was just like, I'm going to write a book. And so I wrote a book. And it did really well. And I wrote a second book.

I did really well. And now that I'm far away and I'm not writing books, I'm like, dude, why did I think I could just write books? And just fly to New York and like go into these places and be like, Can I try to convince you guys to buy my book? And a lot of people said no. Everybody said no at first. Well, and that's the thing. With the irrational delusion or the irrational confidence and some of the delusion,

you still are extremely proactive. It's not you're just like, oh, this is just going to happen and you will it. Like it's you chase it, you go for it. But you also do the work. I put the work in to get it done. And you act as if it's happening, which is a method for people. I believe the world is bendable. I believe you can do anything you want physically.

If there aren't physical limitations on it, I believe you can do it. I don't think I can just dunk tomorrow or ever unless, but there is a way for me to dunk. And this is how I look at life. I can't dunk. I'll never be able to dunk. In the way that most people would consider dunking, I can get a trampoline and dunk. I can't dance? I'm never going to be as good a dancer of some of those people.

But can I go and win a dance show? Sure. I'll do it in an unconventional way. Yeah, delusional. Yeah. I told Sean, a second week of that show, we're going to win this thing. I have no idea how because I suck. But we will win this show.

and she was like you're out of your freaking mind. And so yeah, the two things is you don't stop and irrational confidence. If you have those together, I think you can do whatever you want. But I do, I have wildly irrational confidence. But I've also done so many things that I probably shouldn't have been able to do that now I really believe I can do anything. So that would be or compartmentalize, as Ray would say. Which is different. In a way.

Like if you don't believe you can do big things, nobody else will either. and if you haven't done big things, why would you believe you can do big things? Because you have no record to show you can do big things. So you have to be irrational about stuff, even delusional. But yeah, that's what I'd say. That's good. I agree with you on all that. You said irrational delusion.

That was like two words. I was a little hard. I meant irrational confidence. I combined the two. I meant irrational confidence. But, yeah, I'm glad you received what I was saying and you agree. It's funny. You bring up the rapping.

I was voted, what, second best rapper in Austin, Texas? Well, that was the first time I saw it in action. because I was like, how's Bobby going to become a rapper? Yeah, I was like, what the? And then he has a name, and he's like outperforming shows, and he's winning awards. And I'm like, what the? But that's where I saw. He's like, oh, this guy just, you know, it was early on in our relationship where I was like, okay, I think I'm seeing how he is.

But I didn't fully understand it until I got here. And then also when I was doing work myself, because you can adopt that thinking for yourself. Like, if you're someone, it doesn't come naturally to me. but I in certain things have adopted it. I just have to act as if this is who I am until I become it. Whereas Bobby was at whatever age, I'm not sure it was wired into him or he was born. I think I had to have that to get out of where I was. Like I never saw anybody graduate high school or college.

So why would I think I could do that? Very well could have been at that moment, whatever age that happened to you early in childhood. Whereas mine, I wasn't exposed to that thinking until an adult and it's not naturally wired in me. But Bobby's just... Mine was shoved in me. He's wired and ready to go. I got it forced upon me. You have any answer to that?

What would you have said before, I mean... I was going to say psycho in the way of how you, like, work is just... I mean, you're just going to work, man. You're going to work, work, work until it's done. And what's really impressive, too, is that, like, how you learn about something. If you're going to do something, you kind of learn how it all works. I don't know how you do it. You read books or what or ask people, but you always have this knowledge of like, all right, I'm going to go into this world.

I need to know how it works. And you figure that out. Or I would be like, oh, I don't know how that is. Like, I don't know how that works. I guess I'll ask someone, but you figure it out. And to me, the work ethic is really what I've just seen like in a psycho way. You just work. Why do you psycho so much?

That's twice. Because I would. And he emphasized psycho. Yeah. Because it is kind of. I would say dedicated. It's unhealthy at times. Yeah, for sure.

You know, the way you work so much and how you prioritize work over other things, but that's how you got a lot of your stuff. Work, work, work. Compartmentalize it. That one feels a little meaner than Amy's. And what did you say? You go, Eddie, you didn't finish your sentence.

Eddie, what do you think before Amy? No, before. I finished it in my head before Amy hijacked the whole thing. Oh, no, I was going to say before Amy accurately nailed it. Described. Isn't that funny how your mind did that? Yes, I'm well aware of what my mind does.

So I have to always, this is another thing that I got from Brunei Brown. Let's assume the best. That was me not assuming the best, but in general, let's just assume the best. But Bobby, you don't assume the best? Nope. I'm in what other people are. Like, I automatically jump to it. I'm much more positive this year, though.

In case you forgot my word of the year is positive. Well, it's February. Yeah, but I'm still remembering it. Like I'm just more positive about it. So you're digging in? Yeah, I am not always more positive, but I challenge the negativity a lot of times. It doesn't always manifest itself in complete positivity. But I do when it does happen, I do go, man, do I really want to be negative about this?

Because it's going to be the same result regardless. So I'll be positive. Sometimes I do want to be negative. I've just seen it happen too many times. But sometimes I'm like, you know what, this can work out. That's good. Yeah. Love that.

Look at us all growing. Because just like the world is bendable, your brain is moldable. Oh. Is that Bonae Brown again? Mine's pretty much in. No, that's just kind of dug in there. Neuroscience. Okay.

Ray. Yeah, good stuff. I'll have her listen to this. Thanks, buddy. That's the answer. Eddie, what's up? Guys, I keep getting DMs. Like, I'm talking about like 20 DMs of people telling me about their kidney stories.

That they want. Either they need a kidney or they know someone that needs a kidney and if I'm willing to help. Dude, I don't know what to do. Do you ever respond to them? No. But I'm thinking maybe I'm the guy that reposts those DMs and be like, is there anyone out there can help? Maybe. So this was all rooted in Eddie saying it'd be awesome to donate a kidney a long time ago.

A long time ago. But then he's like, I want to do it. I want to do it. They were like, great. Get tested. Go do it. And he's like, nah, I don't really want to. So then it became a bit where Eddie would always say wanted to do it, but never do it.

Callers were calling in. But now you're that guy. God may have put this on you. Okay. Great. I love it. But what do I do? Like, I don't have 20 kidneys.

So even if I did want to donate a kidney, like, I got 20 DMs in my inbox. Well, so, yeah, reposting them or putting them out there. That can't hurt. You're contributing to the efforts of finding a match. You have one. One kidney. He's not going to do that. Let's just take Eddie off the table.

Yeah, he's off the table. Currently, not right now. Stop saying currently because that makes us come back to it. Right now is just not the time. This is the year of him being serious. Yes, I'm being serious. He's not going to do it. Then you need to be, you've now put yourself in this category of like, you know, a catalyst, like the voice of helping people find kidneys.

Okay. It could be that. Is it a HIPAA violation, though, to be spreading somebody else's... No, not if they send it to you. Okay. If they can find a kidney, like, I think they're good. Can you imagine how popular you would become if you started to be the kidney guy and you're matching people? I love it.

I mean, I mean, there's like, I'm not a hero. Like, it's not about me. You've done nothing. You can't even convince us you're not a hero because you're not. Right, but it's not about me. Even if I do the kidney guy thing, right, where I just repost all these kidney things. You're like a matchmaker. Yeah, but it's not me.

You know, I'm just the outlet. You're not a hero. I'm not a hero. It wouldn't be me. We do have this voicemail too because Eddie said he's thinking about donating part of his liver. Here you go. Play number two. Eddie donating a liver.

I actually donated my liver. liver about seven months ago. They took 70% of it and it's already fully regrown. Recovery was about eight weeks. So it was a little rough at first, but now I'm completely back to normal. So I just wanted to give my two cents about that. Hope everybody has a great day. Thank you.

That's legit. That you could do. You could just be the organ donating guy, do some of your liver. Yeah. And then be a liver and kidney guy. 70%. And it's already grown back. That's amazing.

But also, how do you just live on 30%? Well, don't ask me that. I don't know the answer to that. You're not. If it's growing that fast, it's turning over. Whoa. Is that something you'll, you know. No, stop.

No. It's my ear being serious. Possibly check out. I think that's really cool. And, I mean, I would definitely think about it. Oh, my God. You're thinking about everything. I mean, the liver seems doable.

It's totally doable. The kidney, you got two and you give one away, you're left with one. Except I wonder if there are rare circumstances in which your liver's supposed to grow back and then it just like doesn't. Well, don't say that to him. Well, forget that I'm out then. The liver is the only visceral organ that regenerates. It's the only one? Unless there's a malfunction.

That's probably with anything. Okay, I think you should actually consider that you could change lives by doing this. All of this may have happened for this reason. Yeah, yeah. So that he now... He can be share of information. Okay. Matcher.

And he needs to donate something, though, so he's not a hypocrite. Like, you don't see, you know, the greatest color, football color analysts. Most of them have played. Eddie needs to play. He needs to get in the game. I need to at least play in the game a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, think about that.

All right. I mean, but I wonder, your liver has to be in... Tip-top shape. I don't think it does. I think it needs to be a pretty good shape. Dude, my college years? He drinks. Oh, okay, stop.

Oh, here we go. All right. All right, we're done, everybody. Thank you for listening to the show. All right, bye, everybody. Okay. Bobby Bones show. The Bobby Bones show theme song, written, produced, and sang by Reed Yarberry.
