we're going to do Judge Bobby. If you bring something to the judge and I give the verdict, you have to live by it. Oh. Okay. Wow. You don't have to bring it. But if we do.

But if you do, and both parties agree, because Eddie's bringing something here and lunchbox doesn't know about it yet. What do I do? Relax. If you both agree, it has to never be brought up again and just settle with the verdict. And whatever you decide is what we do. But you don't have to bring it to me. Oh, I want to bring it today. Okay.

Well, Ray, if you hit me with some judge, I'm entering the chambers. Hello, everybody. All rise. You stay risen. It's my core. But the whole time. But the mics are down there. Oh, okay.

So Eddie has approached the bench and asked for a judgment here. What's the scenario? But, Judge, I believe the defendant here owes me some money. You think Lunchbox owes you money. Correct. Now, Lunchbox, would you like the court to hear this case? I have no idea what he's talking about. Well, it's taken to leave.

I mean, how do I know it? Okay, good point. Eddie, go ahead. All right. So out of nowhere last weekend, I get a text from Lunchbox. Oh, yeah, you can hear this. Okay, the court has accepted the case. Okay, I present the prosecutor. That's me.

Eddie, okay. Thank you. And the defendant, Lunchbox. Yes, I am one for one in court cases. I went to real court, real judge, and I'm defending myself, and I got off, and I'm about to get off today. That's weird to say. Okay, Eddie, are you ready?

That's so weird. Yeah, I'm ready. All right, let's go. All right, Judge, I got a text, a random text last weekend. It said, from Lunchbox, hey, you want to make your money back? Put it on Nashville soccer club tonight, 7 o'clock. Like bet. The bet.

Put your money on them. They will win 100%. You're welcome. I didn't ask for the advice, but I said, okay, I mean, he texted me. He must feel confident in this. So I got out my app. I put my bet down. I bet on them.

They lost four, two, three. I mean, it was not even close. Four, three is close? No, it's not. No, it's not. He said they were going to massacre this team. This team is terrible. They're not good at all.

I lost the money. Now, Judge, I feel that the defendant here owes me my money. The original money that you bet. Correct. Okay. Thank you for your case here. Thank you for hearing this, Judge. Welcome. Let's go to the defendant at lunchbox. What would you like to say?

Oh, yeah, the week before that, Eddie had gone to the soccer game and he had bet on it and he came back crying. He was upset that he lost the bet because Nashville S.C. didn't win. So I was going to the game and I was like, hey, Eddie, I was thinking, man, they're going to win tonight. So I want Eddie to have a good feeling about Nashville soccer club. So I just sent him a text, hey, they're going to win tonight. So bet your money on them. You know, just kind of like a, hey, you know, go get him, Tiger. You fall off the bike, you get back on.

Did you guarantee the bet? No, didn't guarantee. Eddie, do you have in your... The text judge? Yeah, I'd like to see. If you can bring it over to the bench, please approach the bench with the text. Stand by, Judge.

You know, a lot of it's going to depend on hearing exactly what he said to you. Judge, what exhibit number is this? This is one. This is the first time we've ever done this. Yeah, this is the first thing you brought to the table. Yeah, this is just real, the first fun. Who knows, may never do it again.

Okay, Eddie is approaching the bench with his phone. He's now scrolling. I'd like to see the text here. Don't forget to bet on NSC tonight. Win your money from last week. They win in tonight. Then Eddie goes, I'm on it. And then lunchbox is late.

Later on the night after the loss goes, don't bet on NSC. Eddie goes... That was after the game was over, Judge. Eddie goes too late, you want me $10. Okay. Lunchbox, anything you'd like to say? No, I mean, I thought they were winning tonight. That's it.

You say that every time because you wanted to be confident about this bet. I'm glad you guys brought this to me this early because it's so trivial and stupid. I'm glad we didn't do it later on the show. Okay. If I text Eddie and I'm like, bro, you got to bet on this. And he loses? That means we probably both lost because I felt passionate about it too. Yeah.

That's usually how it goes with me. tell Eddie. Hey, and I usually don't tell Eddie honestly I feel really good about it and I'm probably like 80%. And I'm glad Eddie doesn't charge me whenever he misses because that's happened a couple times. Oh, interesting. That's weird. Exactly. Guys, the judge is talking, please. Exactly. So Eddie, for you to

expect him, if he would have said, yo, bet this and if they lose, I'll give your money back to you. That would have been a different text. But friends can always go, yo bet this game. They're going to win. Parentheses, I really don't know crap, but I hope they do. That's basically what that was.

They were playing a bottom feeder. So I thought, okay, this is it. This is your chance to get your money back. They should kill them and they didn't. But, Judge, why say anything? Because it's fun. Bro's talking like bros. Not done that too.

Eddie, you lose the case. Yes. So he owes me for pain and suffering. That is not the case. But Eddie, you lose the case. And mental anguish. You do not get any money from lunchbox. Nothing, not even a little bit, Judge.

Nothing, not even a little bit. Woo! And Lunchbox, he can never bring this up again. Thank you. And this is the easiest, dumbest case I've ever tried. Let it be known. Let it be known, Judge, that if you ever text me again on some gambling advice, I'm not doing it. And that's fair too.

But Eddie, you'll lose the case here. Oh, and one. Lunchbox, you're now one and know in Bobby Knows Court. That's right. There it is. Nice job. Nice job. Lunchbox, you're Victor.

All right. Let's get the show started. That's the stupidest I've ever done. Let's get the show started now. It is time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My wife went out of town this weekend, and it was a good thing. On Saturday, there was a ring at my door, and standing there was a guy who was maybe 20 years old. He asked me in my name, asked me if I once lived in Memphis, and asked me if I knew a woman whose name I'm not going to mention here. When those checked out, he then put out his hand and told me he was my son. I lived in Tennessee two decades ago and had a brief fling with the woman, so the math checks out. but she didn't tell me any of this. I invited the kid in, and we talked more about it. He was clearly curious and trying to put his life together.

I got to say it was a nice chat, and we both agreed to get a DNA test to confirm or shoot down the possibility that this is the real deal. Either way, how do I break this to my wife? Signed, anonymous. This is one that you only have to break one way. You are shocked, and she's going to be shocked, and you just rip...

It's not even a Band-Aid. You didn't know. You didn't know anything wrong, actually. Yeah. You didn't run from it. You didn't, it's a surprise to you. It's going to be a surprise to her. The good news is he's 20. He ain't 10 looking for a place to live or support, you know?

Because that'd be a different situation, not with your wife, but just in life. That would just be a whole different situation. You didn't have a kid you needed to take care of because that was your kid. He's 20. So that makes it not any less surprising, but it does make it a little. but it does make it a little easier to handle and live a life with because it's an adult kid. A man even.

So here's what you say. Your wife comes home. You say, whatever, she comes back in. Immediately. I had the weirdest weekend. Oh my God. A kid knocked on the door, shook my hand, said, I'm his dad.

I don't know what to do. You just get right to the point. Say that he's 20 years old. Don't say a kid came in. Hey, Chase, to give him a time frame? He's 40. Wait, what? He's really old.

Yeah, no, that's true. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah. I would, yes. Yeah. I mean, the only way to say that or get a burner account. I was waiting for that. That's probably better. It's your wife that way. So, you just have to tell her. I don't, you didn't do anything wrong, though. I think that's the bonus here. When most guys feel guilty about something, we've done something wrong. And we don't want to say it because we know we've done something wrong. We're going to get in trouble. You didn't do anything wrong. This is before your wife. You didn't know about it. There are. all these things that happened where you did nothing wrong. So there should be no shame or guilt or fear that she's going to be angry. Now, she can be emotional about the situation because it is pretty heavy, but it is for you too. And if she's so emotional that she takes that away from you, then that ain't good. Like, this is your time, buddy, to kind of figure out what's going on. Hers too, but yours too. You just got a kid. You got a life-changing present at your door.

your family just multiplied in a moment's notice you tell her immediately don't feel guilty about it you did nothing wrong so that's how you tell her I mean this happened to me not to me but in my family oh my goodness I remember one day Arkansas Keith got a call and there was like hey your daughter and brunk just like that how do he handle it awesome

all right let's go Arkansas Keith's awesome so but you know she was older too but not 20 nothing like that this happened to my uncle too and it caused a lot of trouble at the house. I would imagine it could have caused a lot of trouble. It just depends, like Amy said, the age of the kid. Yeah. Amy, you're a wife.

What happens? What do you want to happen? Well, I would say I would like to think I'm rational in this situation, and I understand the facts of it. And the facts are he didn't know about it. He's just learning too. He's going to need support in this moment, and I hope that I would be able to set aside anything I'm feeling.

and be able to focus on, okay, how are we moving forward? We're a family. How can I support you? Yeah. You're going to need support, buddy. Not trouble. And hopefully she realizes that. But give her a second to be shocked and a little upset too.

Okay, there you go. That's, I hope it works out. It will work out, by the way. She might be excited. Like, wow, I've always wanted a 20-year-old. I don't know what that one. Maybe. That would be happening.

All right, that's the mailbag. Close it up. We've got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about the close. Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. All right, Morgan, what happened? You go out and you see a guy

that you'd been out with a few times before? Yes. And is that weird? Yeah, it's always an awkward interaction because, you know, you never see them again. You go on a few dates, and then it's like they disappear. Does it matter who disappeared on who?

I mean, it definitely adds to it, especially if it wasn't like a cordial ending if it was ghosting or stuff like that. But isn't that most ghosting? At this point, yes. I mean, just in general, we're dating. Like, most times, if you go out a couple times, You don't owe somebody a, hey, look, I thought I'd like you more than I did.

So I'm going to go ahead and peace out. Don't you just kind of go away because you haven't really invested anything anyway? I mean, no, because people are very emotional, especially these days. So you kind of got to cut the cord. Well, I would either, what you should do is either ghost or get a burner email and send him an email on the burner account and be like, hey, they don't want to date him anymore. Your favorite message. I love a burner email account for everything. There's nothing it can't do.

All right, what happened, Morgan? So I ran into him and he came up to me and was like, hey, you know, because he had ghosted me. We went out on two dates and they were good. He ghosted you. He ghosted me. Wow. And they were great dates.

Like nothing bad about him, right? He ghosted me and I didn't think much about it. It's been like two years since. So when I run into him, he came up to me and was very apologetic. I was like, I'm so sorry that I ghosted you. That's not who I am. You were just really intimidating. And I'm like, okay, I'm intimidating.

Why? And he's like, well, you're just, you're a woman that didn't need me. And I need someone who needs me. And I was like, yeah, you're right. didn't need you, but I wanted you. You said that? You said, but I wanted you? Wow.

Well, I'm saying, like, in that scenario, like, I wanted to date you. Okay. You know, I didn't need you. I wanted to date you. It's different. Okay. My ears were like, oh. Okay.

Okay. Okay. And he was just, like, really taken back by that because he thought that he needed to date a woman that needs him in every aspect of his life. And because I wasn't that way, I was not the girl for him. But you don't want a guy that wants that out of a woman anyway. Yes, correct. So in the end, he may have ghosted you, but I think you won because that wasn't more of your time wasted.

Oh, yeah, I won too because if he came back up to me after two years still thinking about that, then I had forgot about it. I was like, I moved on with my life. So did you want to go out again? He was hinting at it, but I pretty much was like, this is never going to happen. Like, you've shown me who you are. How do you say it's never going to happen? I was just like, that's cool.

That's not a guy I want to be with. And I appreciate that, but. Yeah, cut him. He limped away after that one. I felt that. So you didn't go out with him. What's been happening recently? Have you been going on any dates at all?

No, I have not gone any dates at all. And my ex and I are trying to figure things out. Wait, what? Breaking news! Breaking news! Oh, breaking news! Wow! Breaking news!

What in the world? I did not know this. I did not know this. I had to say a difference. I could like figure it out. I did not know this. You're processing. Oh, wow.

What does that mean? Don't say anything you're not comfort with, but what does that mean? Yeah, no. I mean, we're not back together, but we're just seeing if, you know, he went through some things and he really realized that he wants me a part of his life, and he's making that effort in a lot of ways that matter. And so I'm just giving a chance for him to see if he can be who I need him to be. I did not.

No. Like this was going to happen. I'm a little shocked by it, but good for you. Yeah, well, just being honest, you never know what's going to happen, but... Amen to that? It could not work out. It could. I don't know. I did not. No. I did not know.

Can we ask about, like, what kind of effort is he making? Like, is he dropping flowers off? Like, what do you mean by making an effort? Only answer to what you're going to go with, Morgan? No, it's just, it's more emotional than that. There was a lot of things he had been through in his life that he hadn't quite figured out, and he's doing the effort to be in therapy, figure that all out. And he's showing up for me in ways that he couldn't before because he's figured that out.

So did he go, did he figure out how much he needed you or he thinks he needed you while he was not having you? Yeah, well, he realized like he couldn't need me. He just back to the whole conversation of needing verse wanting, you know, all of that. But he realized he wants me as part of his life and he wants to do everything in his power to make sure I'm not leaving him ever again. And so that's more of what happened. He kind of had his moment where he was like, oh crap, I. really don't want to lose this. Okay, okay, okay, okay. All right. Best of movement here, regardless of what happens, good or bad, we're rooting for you. Thank you. Wow. I did not know.

This was, okay, breaking news. We did not know that. So you're not dating anybody. No, did you do, go on any dates at all? No, I was asked on a few, but it didn't really feel right. And this started to happen about the same time. And that's what I wanted to pursue. Wow. Anything you want to say lunchbox? Yeah, like, so are you officially dating him again? She just said no. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me explain.

Like, if he said, hey, I want to take you to a wedding or would you go. Like, is that something you would do or is it not to that, like, ah? Yeah, I mean, it's definitely complicated. Like a public appearance. Like, I mean, you know what I'm saying? Like, going somewhere together. I mean, we are going, like, he is taking me out on dates in public. Like, he's actively pursuing me again.

But they're not back together. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. That's what I'm saying. So they're dating, but she didn't want to call it dating. Well, there's a difference in going on dates and the term dating. Yes.

Like exclusively dating. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, I feel like if she's not going to go on dates with other people, they're exclusively dating. She could be in that middle ground where she doesn't want to mess that up by going on dates with other people. But she also doesn't want to say, yep, we're back together and everything's good and fixed. Okay. You guys are making it too complicated.

They're dating. But it is complicated. That's just kind of what happens with relationships. You know what they say life is complicated. Who says that? Avril Avivine. Tell me what. Why you got good.

A 12-year-old Pitbull was brought to the Niagara SPCA after police found him wandering the streets Quote We identified a tumor That we believe is cancerous He's also an end-stage kidney failure

Says the director of the shelter So Amy decided Lloyd should live out his last days Which could be anywhere from three weeks to three months with the bucket list She posted about it on the SPCA's Facebook page and all the members of the community have been jumping in to make sure Lloyd just lives the greatest life he can live the last three months. Man, that's crazy. That's awesome. For the last two weeks, Lloyd has been treated to a bunch of bucket list items eating at Lloyd's tacos in Buffalo, hanging out with the penguins at the aquarium at Niagara, visiting Lily Dell and taking in Jaguar Land Rover Buffalo.

I don't know what all that means. Sounds like commercials. Yeah. He also visited local parks, beaches and pools. They're making sure that he's fed. He's an honorary firefighter. And according to Amy Lloyd is completely booked up through August. Quote, I'm super grateful to our community for showing Lloyd so much love, she said.

That's an awesome story. I hate that the dog is sick. And I hope they can figure something out so his life is not in pain and he's able to live a long time. But that's really cool that all those people stepped up. Dang, you're a dog person. You're probably like me and feeling a little sad and happy at the same time right there. All right. is what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. Do you find making friends as an adult extremely challenging? Hmm. I think it's more maintaining friendships because everyone's so busy and then really creating true connection. Yeah? It can get hard. You? Yeah, I'm not there.

I'm not at those points yet. That's too deep. You know, I've talked to you guys that it's not too deep. I'm just not there yet. My wife and I've had these talks and she's like, who are your friends? Who do you hang out with? She's like, who do you hang out with? I don't know.

Eddie? She's like, nobody else? I don't know. She's like, nobody else? No, not really. She's like, okay, then stop whining people don't invite you places, you know, because that's often the thing. I'm like, nobody invites me anywhere.

And Eddie doesn't even invite me anywhere. And so she's like... I don't go anywhere. Sometimes you do. I don't get invited. I don't want to say yes, honestly. I don't want to go places. I just want to be invited.

You just want to get invited. Right. And so she's like, here are a couple of people that are in your circle that you could probably become good friends with. You like them. You should hang out with them. You want to hang out with them. So you should spend time. And so, okay, cool. So I have this person that I've been eyeing on the friend radar. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. That's the radar going. And I'm like, you know what? I'll try to be friends with them. I like them. Let's see what happens. Like real friends. And it feels like it's going pretty good. But I'm the only person that ever asks to do anything or hang out. So I'm the only

friend that's ever like, hey, you want to do this? Hey, you want to do this? Hey, we're going to do this. And so about the fourth time in a row, I decided I'm not going to be friends with them anymore because they don't ask me to do anything. Is that, am I going, have I gone crazy? Well, I, I, maybe you could ask them about it? No, are you kidding? I would never do that. Hello, person I'm trying to make my friend. How come you don't ask me to do anything?

No chance. But I have asked four times. I've never got a, hey, let's do that ever. And so now I'm like, they don't even want to be my friend because they don't ask me to do anything. I have to ask them all the time. Okay. That is tricky. And you might have to accept that someone.

Some people might not want to be your friend. Oh. Wait, where? I was not going to go there. It's not for you. That's for every person. I start vomiting. Bones,

you just have to get it through your head. You're not likable. That's not what I said. Maybe people just hate you. Okay. That wasn't for you. But here's the thing. It was for me.

It was for me. No, it wasn't. Here's the thing. I just want to be honest about this. We have, me and this new friend-ish, have a good time when we're out. We're hanging out. We've done some things. Actually, we have a great time.

Okay. And then I'm just like, then I just, I will not text them. And I'll just sit. Days will go by. Like you're dating? Yeah, but it feels like a little bit. I know. This is games.

No, it's not. Yeah, you're playing games. It's like if I were dating somebody and asked them out four times, they never came to me and said anything. It is weird. And I feel like, okay, well, they don't really want to be my friend. They're just like, yeah, if he asks, I'll go do something. Because there's been no effort on their side. So it's hard as an adult.

Yes. to make friends. And I have, because I have two people that I'm with in my life most of the time that's not Caitlin. And it's Mike D and Eddie.

I'm a Mike more than anybody because we're always working on stuff together. We're together so much when we work, it's like, oh, we got 15 minutes? Let's go away from each other

for a little bit because our wives are. But you guys are like an old married couple. We are for sure. You can spend hours together and not say anything Mike is my guy.

Like trust him with everything that I do always. But between those two and then Eddie now we'll go do like sports things together. I don't have been, so I'm like, I got me a new one, except he never wants to do anything with me.

What's your advice? If this were the mailbag and I wrote this in anonymously, what you thought about? Yep. And does I see what you'd say? Without me being a part of it? Yep. What's your advice? Amy, go ahead.

Oh, okay. I think that it's... I trust her more than you. You're my friend, you're biased. Go ahead. Well, you know, I'm your friend too, right? Yes, but we don't hang out and, like, go and do stuff in the middle of the day, like dudes or dude stuff.

Yeah, I know not a dude. I'm looking for dude friends. I'm looking for like bros. Right. I don't have any bros. Okay. to you're watering the relationship. I got a really high water bill.

If he's important to you, then you keep at it and see what happens. I feel like such a loser. But you don't, you need to just, that you can't control what he does. You can just control what you do. If you enjoy hanging out with him, then you keep asking him. He'll say no if he doesn't want to hang out with you. That's what Caitlin says. But I don't want to always ask.

If he wants to hang out with me a whole lot, he should say, do you want to hang out? Okay. I know I sound like a 14-year-old girl. But you know what? And that's the problem. You sound like a 14-year-old girl. Not to him. Not to him. No, no, no. But you...

Can we just say his name? No, you guys have never met him. Oh. You sound clingy. You sound desperate. Like, this is... But not to him. Yeah, but if you keep asking him, he's like, man, maybe back off for a little bit. I did. I back off. I don't even text him.

So when's the last time you all communicated? That's a good question. I just basically gave him my new phone number just recently. That's a big step. Well, you know who I'm living life right now as a little fellow. I like to call, Bobby two phones. I got two phone. One of the blood and one for the phone.

Does he have the new number? He does now. Okay. He's accidentally texting from it. But I haven't given anybody the number unless they've texted me. That's how I get back. For him. Well, this is the last time when he texted. Six days ago. Wow.

Oh my. Two communicated last day. You guys broke up already. Yeah, he moved on. He's moved on. Yeah, it's cool. Okay. You're not his type of dude. I know. That's what it feels like. Back to that comment. That wasn't for you and I need to make sure. It was for me and that's what you made you think of it.

No. What did you say exactly? People don't like me and I'm stupid and ugly. I said sometimes. It's the ugly's face she's ever seen. That's not what I heard. No, it's hard as an adult to realize that not everybody is going to like everybody.

And that not everybody has the capacity to be friends with everybody. Okay. So but since she said that though, Amy, do you mean this person may not like Bobby? I'm saying that's a real. I hear, yes. Okay, look, here's the last thing. That's the last thing he said to me is about Arkansas football. I'm an Arkansas fan.

Okay. He said, Hey, I just saw Marty Smith is in Fayetteville, the first game day this season. Are you going to be

the guest picker of that game? And I replied, no. Hard to get. Interesting. Do you think he was, if you said yes, he's going to be like,

can I go with you? No. This person thought about you and texted you. They're like, oh, Bobby likes Arkansas, let me text him about this. And here you go play hard to get again.

I said this. No. You went one word to answer. He was looking for more of a conversation piece like, no, I wish that maybe they'll ask me, I haven't heard anything yet. You just said, no, he's like, oh, he doesn't want to talk. You're going to lose this person if you don't stop playing these games. That's showbiz, baby.

I'm tired of being played with himself. You have a narrative in your head that is not true. Well, you just gave me a new layer of it. I'm a loser and everybody hates me and I'm ugly. That is not what I'm said. I'm not talented and I'm not good enough for this job. Okay, I quit. And all my, any, what?

No, I said none of that and I'm not going to let you say that I didn't. Say that I did. You said it, sister. Welcome to life with me. Caitlin will say something and I'll just spiral hard. Right. She's like, I said, do you want a popsicle? That's not what I heard.

You heard I'm not strong enough. Okay. Okay. I feel like. Reach out to him. No. Yes. Yes.

If you want to be friends with this person. Say what up. I've already tried four times. We've done stuff. It's been awesome. But I never get second date. Okay. On their end.

So I'm going to leave at that. Okay. I just was asking. What if they have a different story of their head? They don't. Trust me. Their story is same as yours. He's stupid and he's ugly and he farts. Eddie, what is your opinion?

Go ahead. I got hers. What's yours? I'm telling you, just go for it. Stop this whole getting your feelings hurt. If you want a friend, you make a friend. He's giving you all the opportunity to reach out, talk about Arkansas football, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Dude, this is your friend.

Go get it. You'd like them. I would? Yeah. And I don't want to get you involved because then you'll be sad, too. Yeah, you don't want me to get my feelings hurt. Hey, I don't want to introduce him to the kids yet, you know, because then that creates a whole different layer of the relationship.

You got this, Bones. Come on. Lunchbox. Listen, like I said, you're like a 14-year-old girl in your head. You may not act like it towards this dude, but guys communicate this way. We go weeks, months, without talking, then we get each other up. I agree with that.

So I think you're fine. Like, you're in your head. But I'm the only one that asks to do something. I don't care about the no texts. I'm the only one that says, hey, do you want to do something? Never once. But he, be busy. He could have things going on. Let's

compare calendars. Or maybe he thinks you're busy. Oh, yeah, that's a good point. That's stupid as Amy told me I am. You have a TV show. If people don't know how that stuff works, I would think like, oh my gosh, Bobby's in Costa Rica this week. I can't talk about it. This week, you think it's just flat. You don't know. You have no idea how it works.

Anyway, this has been Neurotic Hour with me, Bobby Bones. Let's talk to Sherry in North Carolina, who's about to play Never Gonna Get It. And here is that wonderful caller. Hi, Sherry. Hey guys. How you doing today?

I'm doing wonderful. How are y'all? Doing pretty good. Do you have a Sonic anywhere near you by any chance? I do. Oh, Sonic's awesome, right? Can I get an amen? Oh, big amen. There we go. So I'm going to give you the option here. Would you like to play for a $50 $50 Sonic gift card or would you like to play for a $100 Sonic gift card?

A hundred. Okay, okay, good choice. Good choice. Scoot told me I could pick, so I let her pick. You're going to play for a $100 gift card at $100. Sonic, which, oh my goodness, it is my favorite place to go in the whole wide world. And be sure to get the app because you can get on the app and order. And then when you get there, you just type the stall you're in.

Bring it right out to you. Awesome. And like me, you can do it twice. If you have two phones like I do right now, you can order on two different apps and have them bring it out at the same time. Hit me. I got two phones. I hate having two phones.

I'm trying to get rid of that other one. Okay, Sherry, never going to get it. Here is your question. Okay. You're most likely to engage in this bad habit. on a Wednesday although millions of people do it every single day

you're most likely to engage in this bad habit on a Wednesday although millions of us do it every single day so how it's going to work is Sherry you are going to see if you can get it and it's impossible it's actually I don't think you're never going to get it but if you do you win the prize

and if she misses it she gets to pick one of you guys you're most likely to engage in this bad habit on a Wednesday Sherry what is Is it? I'm going to go with Leave the toilet seat up.

On a Wednesday. The midweek toilet seat. There you know. Dude, what do you expect? I mean, why are you mad at her? Yeah, what's this supposed to be? I mean, I don't know. Why did you go that was a terrible answer?

Okay, it's a tough game. I mean, but a bad habit, like, that's not a bad habit. That's just an accident. No, it's a habit, but probably happens more than just on a Wednesday. Okay, the answer is not leave the toilet seat up. Anything toilet seat, okay? So, you're still in the game, though, Sherry.

You have Amy, Lunchbox, Eddie, and Morgan. Now, you can pick one of them. Yeah. And if they get it right, you win the prize. Amy, how you feeling? I feel okay. Lunchbox? Great.

Especially on a Wednesday. I know this happens on Wednesdays because I've seen it firsthand. Eddie? I've got to say that I've never won this game ever, but this time, I've got the answer. And he says that every time. No, no, no, I've got this one. I feel pretty good. Okay.

Sherry, which of the show members would you like to play with here? Well, I have to go with lunchbox because he's on his A-game today. He's on his A-game. Lunchbox, it's A-game Day. On Wednesdays, this bad habit has done more than any other day. What is it? Hit snooze. Oh, that is good.

Because you kind of made it through Monday and Tuesday, and then you can't take it anymore. Yep, that's dumb. Genius. So lunchbox says hit snooze. You love it, Amy. I like that. Yeah. Eddie? It's dumb, man. I mean, hit snooze. That's not even a bad habit. That's just a mistake. It is a bad habit.

Morgan, what do you think about hit snooze? I mean, I could see it being a possible answer. I don't think it's the answer, though. Amy, what did you have? Oh, I had, well, you survived the weekend. You try to go Monday, Tuesday without a drink and you do it. And then Wednesday. Oh, drink. You get drunk. No, you have to get drunk. You have maybe a drink. Eddie?

I don't see that's a bad habit. Hey, you start every week saying I'm going to start eating healthy. I'm going to make my lunch and take it to work. Oh, good one. And then by Wednesday, I can't take it. I'm going to McDonald's. That is good.

Fast food. Yeah. That's really good. Morgan? I will say I had both Amy and Eddie's, but I am going with drink a glass of wine. Okay, that's me. So you've heard all for the answers.

Lunchbox was your original pick. So here's what I'll do, Sherry. I'll make it interesting for you. Okay. You can either have lunchboxes. Or you can have the other threes, all combined dancers. All combined? You can have Amy's, Eddies, and Morgans.

That is so hard. That's good. Oh, man. No, because snooze is good. No, it's not. So which would you like Sherry? Would you like lunchbox and his snooze? Or would you like the other people and their, all their, I'll tell you this.

Somebody's right. Oh! Oh, no. Okay. Well, I got to go with the odds. Oh, my gosh. lunchbox that I'm gonna go with everyone else the answer is hit the snooze alarm boom I'm going to SOTOMAY! No! I told you that was good

How do you like that? Oh no Oh, hold on! Boom! Boom! You know, boom! I get two things to say first of all you don't get the card lunchbox you don't you don't get the prize cherry lime made slush! No no no you don't get the prize that's not how it works. What? Okay so but that's only two levels right we're gonna give her another chance to win but she did not win. Dude that was cold. Why? Oh, my God. Because you kind of... You made it sound like we were on.

No, I didn't. You never know what way I'm going to go. No, I told you I was right from the beginning. But you say that every time when you're wrong. But my point is, I will play the game. I will play the game every time and every way. You know me. You can't predict what I'm going to do.

No, you can't. But you did say, is it the snooze? Like, it's like that wasn't it. Woo! Man! Hey, right. Hit it! Wait, wait, we're not done with the bit yet. Oh, we're not done with the bit yet. Eddie, apologize. Okay, Sherry, I want to give you one final.

chance to win this $100 gift card from Sonic, okay? She could already had it. And I need you to do, you should have, I need you to spell the word restaurant. Go. Oh, R-E-S-P-A-U-R-A-N-T. Why is that so easy for her? I struggle with that one. Well, she wins $100 a $100 a lot of Sonic.

Okay. There's a good restaurant. Oh, there's a winner. I'm not clapping. But you won, too. I know, but she could have taken the easy road, but no, she wanted to get off me and go. No, she was just playing the odds. The odds of picking dumb people.

over smart person. I like that. It's a good comeback. Sherry, you did good because you won. You did good because you picked lunchbox. Your instinct was right. What do we learn here? Stick with your gut. Stick with your gut. Stick with your gut. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. Your gut says lunchbox. It did. It did. Sherry, you are the winner. Congratulations to you. We will get you your $100 gift card to Sonic. Lunchbox, you're a winner too. You nailed it.

and we watch it for free. So, yeah, add the USA channel on your smart TV, easy-peasy. All right, thanks so much. We love y'all. Thank you for everything that you do for us and the joy you bring us. Have a great day, guys. Thank you, Jennifer. It's very positive.

Hey, Morgan, what did you find out about Snake in the Grass and how people can watch it online? So if they go to the USA Network app, they can watch it there either on the website or on your phone. And it's free. I had no idea. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I think it's great. I had no idea that there was an app. Not even that was on there.

I didn't know anything about that. Anyway, I wish we could delete this. Anyway, so, by the way, the show is on tonight. Please watch. Please watch. 11.10 Central on USA. This is Anna from California. I think the bit with Chuck or Joe was hilarious.

But I think there's something too that if Abby's up for it, just like Scuba Steve, how he found his wife through the radio show. I think it's an idea. I forget Scuba found his wife through radio. She was Caller 10. Oh, that's right. Yeah, she was Collar 10, and she won two tickets to go to Elton John. And the day with Scoop Steve, and the next thing you know, there they are.

That's all lie. That's all. They did meet because of radio, right? No, she did call in. She was a caller. Yeah, we did a whole thing. I was going through divorce. We did a whole storyline on my old show in San Francisco.

And then we had a bunch of callers. And she was one that called and emailed. We dated for a while and now we're married and after him. That is crazy. I can't believe my brain forgot that. I think my brain purposely forgot that. But I mean, pretty wild. That's why I know.

That's like us being like, hey, call her. Yeah, wow. Call her 10, like I just said. Yeah, you're getting there. Yeah. I like 30 seconds ahead of you, but I like it. I like it to you there with me.

I caught myself. Thank you for that. Why don't we go and do, you know, let me just stop on this. Abby should go out with Trucker Joe. Totally. You never know. Now that we know there's hope.

I don't even know what he looks like. Maybe we set him up on a Zoom date on the air and we record it. And if there's something there, we go to the next. That was a great bit. I love Trucker Joe. I love Abby.

That's all. Abby's looking for love. and she's been looking for love. You know where she's been looking? And all the wrong places. Yeah. You know the right place, apparently? Phone lines.

Trucker Joe. Zoom. The Bible Bowl show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. There's this guy. His name is Kyle Gordy. He's 31 years old. And he's already fathered 48 kids

and he's got 10 on the way. Oh, must be like donation. Yeah. But he does this for free and doesn't go through a donor bank. It got weirder. Each level, it got weirder. Like he got all these kids.

Oh, that's a little weird. Okay. Yeah. But, oh, donation. Well, he does it for free. And okay, a little weirder. If you're in need of it, he gives it directly to you and then you go do what you need to do with it. Like, I used to like, I really liked him.

Then I was kind of like, okay, I get it. And I'm just like, I don't want to know them. What do you mean he gives it directly to them? Does that mean he goes to their house? They collect it and then I think maybe they take it to the bank. But anyways, he hasn't dated in 10 years. Yeah, I would. Yeah, of course.

Stop doing this, buddy. Okay, I didn't know things could go viral on LinkedIn, but last week something did, which is pretty crazy. Because I didn't, again, know that posts could go viral over there. But it's a CEO of a company called Hypersocial, and he posted a photo of himself crying after he had to layoff a few employees. He admitted to the layoff being his fault because he made a bad business decision. And some people are giving him credit for owning up to it, but other people think that it's totally staged and very cringy. It's a weird picture. I saw it on Instagram. It was posted on LinkedIn, but it got taken over to Instagram, and that's kind of where it blew up. And people were posting the comments. And most people were like, hey, man, we get it. It's tough to be a CEO. There was a select few that we're all over them. And that's how they can make a story about this. They're like, people are outraged. Well, if you have two people. They're outraged. People are outraged. It's just a weird picture, though, when someone takes a selfie of themselves crying and then post it to show they're emotional. Yeah. This happens sometimes. And they're the head of a company. Well, not even anybody. Anybody. Even in country music, they're people who do it. They're like crying and they get a self.

And they're like, this is how I was feeling. That's a weird picture. Yeah, to share. Yes. Because you easily could have just taken a picture and been like, hey, Ted's real emotional. I cry. I don't need to see the picture of you crying. Maybe there's something to, I just feel like that's a weird picture to take of you crying to prove, to prove that you were crying.

Totally. I think it's great if you cry and it helps you get to a place. We are sad sometimes. But to prove you were crying, I feel like that's what they're doing. Like, look, I did cry. Because you have to stop the emotion for a second and be like, oh, let me take that picture so people can see this. Let me think with clear mind. Right.

Yeah, I'm in a document. Let me think. Oh, it's almost like evil scientist type stuff. Like you're so emotional and you're crying and you're like, I should take a picture of this because I can use it on my social media. Yeah. It's like next level. Well, maybe some people, their thought process is like I don't, if other people are going through something hard. No.

No, I understand that too. Okay. They're not alone. I get it. But it's just while you're crying when you should be so emotional, you're not having. your clear thoughts because emotion it kind of overrides everything that you go, well, you know, it's like, it's like this.

You know, while I'm doing this, I should get a picture so I can post it in it and show that I really do. Correct. Okay, click. The more Bobby talks, the more staged. I don't know that I think he, I do not think it was staged. I saw the picture, it looks weird, there's water on his face, whatever. He's splashed his face.

Like, I mean, do you think he only took one picture or do you take one? Oh, many. Many, you tried to find the one with the most water coming down his eye for sure. I do think it was, he was. He probably cried, but to also think about it while you're doing it, it just doesn't feel as authentic. That's anybody posting a picture of them crying. What if they just had the picture? If somebody takes a picture of you crying.

Different. Different. Absolutely. Because you're crying. You're like, let me get a picture. Yeah, you didn't cut off the emotion to take the picture. So example, one time I was having this complete meltdown situation and I needed, I took the picture and sent it to my therapist. It was a whole different thing.

But therefore, I had that photo on my phone, never shared it publicly, obviously. but I could go back later a few days with a clear mind to be like, hey, life's rough sometimes. I'm trying to think of what people do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You walk just down seven little bunny trails off the road. And I think in all those instances, if you have a relationship with your therapist and she's like,

send me this. All that, okay, that makes sense. I don't think it's universal. I don't think anything I say is universal, except Home Alone's on a Christmas movie. Other than that, nothing is universal. And there are, but most times when I see somebody crying, I'm like, you had a clear thought while you were crying

when you don't have clear thoughts to take a picture so you can post it on social media. Like you're trying to manipulate us. I get it. Yeah. All right. You didn't post on social media though. No.

You should know. You should know. I've had to go. No, it is probably the worst picture. Fire someone from your podcast network? No. Probably one of the love. No.

I just wanted to, we were documenting a moment of like, okay, can't get any lower than this. We will come higher. For your therapist. Yes, for my therapist. And for me. And for her. Okay. So Thomas Rett has written a lot of songs with his dad, Red Aiken's, including his latest hit,

Half of Me. So good. He's written a lot of songs as his dad that will never really hear, and he was reminiscing about the first song they wrote together when he was only six years old. It's called A Piece of Wood, and here he is talking about it. We wrote a song when I was six years old called A Piece of Wood, and it was about building a guitar,

and that song has never been recorded. It probably never will be. But I do remember that vividly. My dad still passed the little tape of us singing that song together in the kitchen. Make a note when he comes in, I want to hear a piece of wood. Yeah. I'm not scared to ask him for it. For sure.

Now somebody else's going to hear this and go, oh, we should ask him first. Oh, yeah. And then I'm going to cry about it and I'm posting on Instagram. You heard it. We're back around at the beginning. All right. All right. That was Amy's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So the swag shop cuts hair for people, but mostly paying customers. Well, it's back to school time, so they've decided they want to help kids feel their best. And they have provided around two. 200 free haircuts for kids K through 12th grade.

Is there a way to see their schedule? Oh, what do you mean? Well, lunchwalk, I mean, the guy has needed a haircut for months. Why haven't you got one? Oh, man, just working on things. I have a theory that is your wife cutting your hair a little bit at home? No. No trims?

No trims. Are you bang trimming a little bit? No, I don't even know. Bang trim in my bangs. No, I haven't done that either. No, I've just been busy, man. I mean, you got bangs. 1993. Oh yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's brushing them to the side.

Now they're gone. I mean, that looks nice. Now they're gone. See, now it looks normal, right? When's the last time you got a haircut? Oh, goodness. It probably was I-Hard Austin. So, May. What month was that May? Early May. Oh, I get it. June, July. Three months. If I had a guess, I'd have to look at my credit card receipts. Yeah. Just be thankful, because I go through this too, that you have all this hair that continues growing. Yeah. And I'm thinking about maybe making a one. wig for Eddie when I'm done. I don't want your

wig. No. Hey, this is a second. Tell me something good. You're going to donate? Your hair to Eddie? I was going to donate it. I don't want it. He's not sick or anything. Wow. No, he's not sick, but he needs it. I don't have hair. So how would he put it on? There's glue. There's toupee glue. Right? You're telling me I would wear lunchbox's helmet. I don't think he'd have

all of it. Or they have implants. They implant it in your hair. Can you imagine Eddie you're on lunchbox's hair? His hair is much lighter than my. It is. It wouldn't work. Eddie would have to implement. His own hair. So this is not that, and there's no schedule to see, but they're giving away a lot of haircuts to people. Yeah, so shout out the swag shop and any barbers across the country that are doing this,

because it is really cool to help equip kids for the first day of school and make them feel their best. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
