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. that none of us likes. You can have opinions.

You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-HeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Let me go. Come on, Bobby. Transmitting. Hey, I hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show. Morning. Morning.

All right, you get to know question of the morning. If you could say you're an expert on three things, one of the top three things that you would be an expert in. Like if the show or somebody was like, I really need to know about this, like where is your expertise? Top three things. Let me know when you're in. I'm in.

I'm in. Go ahead. Lunchbox, you first. Real. TV. Love it. I digest it. Eat it up. Okay. Naps. An expert in naps.

I know how to nap. I can teach you how to nap. How can I nap better? I don't nap very well. I mean, just lay down and close your eyes, man. Dang, I never thought about that. I am so good at it. It's easy. Go ahead. And women.

Excuse me? What about women? I know women inside and out. But what do you know about that? I know how you can seduce a woman. I know how you can get a woman to go home with you from the bar. Whatever you need. Scammer.

All the things. All the things. Trick a woman. I am well-rounded in women. So your expertise, your areas are reality TV, yep. Naps and women. Yep.

It sounds like tricking women. But the first two don't feel like it goes with the third. Well, they don't have to be all the same. No, I know, but if you're an expert in the first two, I don't feel like you're going to get the third one. I don't understand what you mean. Watch a lot of reality TV, take a lot of nap. Don't get a lot of women.

That's usually how it goes. No. Trust me. I mean. Trust you in what, though? I mean, I can teach classes. Do you get any woman? Like, yes.

If they were like open. Yes, if they were open, I could, no problem. Any, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. If there's a single A-list Hollywood female and she's at a bar, but she's, and you're single and she's single, it doesn't matter. It's, you can reel. Magic time. Yes, reel her in like the big fish in the sea.

Oh, boy. May take a little bit. But guess what? You think you could land it. Eventually you're going to keep going. She's not going to break that line. Keep real. This is weird.

Stay steady. Eddie, what are your three areas? Okay, mine's easy. Mine's grilling. I'm a grill king expert. Also, too, music trivia. I can dominate music trivia. I'm so good at it.

And then lastly, being a parent. I mean, friends call me all the time. Like, dude, what do I do here? My son's doing this. What do I do? It's real easy. Can I give him advice? Done.

That's pretty easy, man. That's pretty good. Amy? Yeah. Co-dependent behavior. Like an expert in it. I'm really good at what I can tell you. You've learned a lot about it?

Yeah, what not to do in that situation. I'm an expert in like nighttime, me taking care of morning me. Like, I really know how to set up my evening for a better day the next day. Like, I can help people figure out how to do that, the things you need to do to feel good when you wake up. And then I've become an expert at co-parenting. It's good. Had to do a lot of it, learn some things. Mm-hmm.

Okay, that's good. I like it. Yeah, very vulnerable. I would go 90s television. I'm pretty solid. Yeah. I mean, my hobby for years was just Googling people in random shows. I would say being left-handed.

I mean, you are left-handed. Like, I can help you with how to write. Left-handed? How to throw. Where to get the best gloves? Golf clubs. Bats. Well, although bats go both ways.

Yeah, there's no left-handed. Yeah, but a lot of things about being left-handed that people don't understand. It's a hard-knock life. Scissors. scissors for sure. So if someone's coming up and just realizing. And they're like, I don't know. Or should I force my kid to be left-handed?

Because that happens. Or he's left-handed naturally. Should I force him to be right-handed? That happens with kids. And you're an expert at this. Yes. Let your kid be left-handed. But I will also give you some tips along the way to help you.

And then also, I'd say music trivia as well. Ooh. I mean, I think I'm better than Eddie. And that's his expertise. I would say you are better than me in that department. Well, there you go. But we should battle someday. I mean, you just folded like a lawn chair, dude.

Like, because, well, you're better to me, but we should battle one. Well, whoa, whoa, it doesn't mean you can't have two experts at something. One may be better than the other, though. Well, I would say music trivia. Or country music history. I can just pull into that one in leaving music trivia. Let me have music trivia. Yeah, like historical country music.

I think I'm pretty good there from, well, since it began. Country music. When the Europeans came over with fiddle and the slave ships brought over the ban show. Okay, you saw one documentary, man. No, I've spoken on it many of it. a time. That's all I'm going to say. Why it's called Hillbilly Music. But that doesn't be my expert. Ray, what was yours be you think? Definitely sports gambling. You think you're an expert in sports gambling? Yeah. I've learned enough ups and downs, highs and lows, peaks and valleys to teach people how it's an investment and not necessarily a gamble, even though it's considered that.

Boy, that, okay. Did you know he, I mean, he builds houses, right, with all that money you make from gambling? No, but I've learned how to not lose money gambling. Yeah. By not gambling. Not gambling unless you're doing just for fun. Or letting your wife have control your gambling account. He did that too. Yeah, finances. What else? Let's go wrestling.

I wrestled a majority of my life. Oh, not like Colcogen. I would be good at that. Like Amy, I could teach her really pretty quickly how to take down somebody in a couple minutes. You want to teach Amy? Why Amy of all people? Like women, like personal defense. Got it, got, got, yeah, yeah.

I get it. Self defense? Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. And then give me power lifting. I could show a dude how to get jacked in month. whip him into shape one summer.

I feel like I know you guys a little better. That's the get to no question. Glad you guys are here. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm nine weeks pregnant.

My husband and I are debating on when to find out the baby's gender. He wants to know as soon as we can. But I'm going to wait until the baby's born. The reason I want to wait is because I want to experience that moment during birth. when I hear the doctor say, it's a boy or it's a girl. To me, that will be powerful and that's something you can experience once. However, my husband wants to spend time buying things specific for their gender. He wants to be able to tell family and friends.

He wants to pick out a name. What do you think about this situation, sign, Mama to be? I'm going to go to here some of the baby daddy's here. Baby daddy. Eddie, your thought, your advice. Oh, we did. was we didn't have a choice because when we got the we got the what's it called

sonogram? Sonogram they were like whoa there it is. Okay stop. You're acting like it was just so prevalent. They're like it's a boy. So even if we wanted to find out at birth we found out when we got the sonogram. But I don't think there's anything wrong with preparing. I don't think there's anything wrong with being surprised.

I think some people make the argument of like oh we want to get the room ready. We want to paint it, whatever, blah, blah, but I don't know. I mean, I didn't really experience this, but I feel like both things are okay. You just got to figure it out with your wife. Like, what do you want to do? They're arguing about it, though. The wife wins.

I like preparing. I like knowing. That way we can, you know, just buying all the stuff. If it's a boy, let's buy them, you know, whatever. Shirts with soccer balls on them or whatever. If it's a girl, then we get her, you know, tutus and all that. You yelled wife wins. Yeah, I mean, I just think she's the one that's pregnant and carrying the baby.

There's a lot. She has to endure that he doesn't. Well, well, it takes two to tango. Yeah. I understand that. But it's just like, you know, give her one. Give one her. Because your life isn't completely different.

Your body, not everything about you is so different for nine months. I think that's like a one little compromise you can make, which you can still prepare for a child. Just be neutral. Like what, why do we have to have such specific boy things, girl things? Just be. Maybe they have favorite teams. Boom.

But also the girls are the favorite teams. Yeah. Lunchbox? Man, I hate to say it, but I'm on the woman's side. Yes. Because we didn't find out so they came out of the birth canal if it was boy or girl. Odd praising. That's what it's called.

Go ahead. And there is nothing like that feeling when that doctor puts the baby on your wife's chest and your wife says, what is it? And you say, it's a baby. And she says, no, boy or girl. And you pick it up and you see if there's a part or no part. And you say, it's a boy. But do you think your feelings would be different if you had a girl instead of all boys? No.

What if they'd all been girls? I mean, it would have. Well, that's my wife on the third one. She was like, I really want to find out because I don't think I can handle the emotion of it being a third boy in the delivery room. Yeah, that's different. And so we were going to have a baby reveal party at my parents' house. And then my wife backed out. She was like, you know what?

No, I don't want to do it. I'm not prepared for this. Let's just wait until it's born. And it's the most magical feeling. You can paint it a neutral color. Yellow, gray, green, blue. It doesn't matter. All the clothes, they're gender neutral anyway.

They got elephants. They got balloons. They got flowers. Let's go. You'd let your boy wear a flower? No. Okay, I'm just saying. I didn't mean to say flower.

I said elephants, balloons. You did say flowers. Uh-huh. And then I said flowers. Would you like your boy wear purple? Like a light purple, like a lavender. Ooh, that's close. That's close.

Purple looks good on guys. I mean, dark purple, okay. Lavender. But there's a line where you. It gets a little. But I'm sorry. I like to usually be dudes all the way, bros before, you know what. But I don't think his wife's a hoe.

I think they're, you know, too. I'm going with the woman. Okay. Wait until it's born. There you have it. I'm not weighing in. What would you do, though? Women.

Yeah, team wife. The only thing I would think would be a bit of a headache is if you have a baby shower, nobody knows what to buy. So you're like, just get gin. And then people are like, okay. But there's plenty that you need that doesn't like. I'm not arguing.

No, no need to argue with me. I'm just saying that's the only thing I can think of. Strollers and car seats and all of that. Yeah. Well, okay. I was taking like gift cards towards it. Ones. And then.

Ones that are white. Do you have two names ready to go? The naming thing is one too. Divers. Okay, have one ready for the girl and one ready for the boy. Yeah, that's what you do. You come over the list. Yeah.

But I'd probably like one more than the other. And then I'd be like, oh, if it's not this one. Oh. It's tricky, man. Okay. Thank you, guys. Thank you for the email. It sounds like she is the winner.

He is the loser. Yes. wait. And then if it's not a good experience for the next one, then find out earlier. But unless you're like Eddie where they're like father-like son, you know what I'm saying? You're trying to wait for him. He's a boy. That's all they saw was the part.

They were like, we need to move out from behind the part. Yeah. I'm like, where's the baby? Oh, my gosh. All right, close the bell bag. We got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mail bag. So Lunchbox says that Morgan doesn't find things funny that he thinks are funny.

and that she needs to improve her sense of humor. Now, I don't know what was happening here. I don't know if you were telling jokes and she wasn't laughing. No, I wasn't like doing a stand-up routine or anything. Morgan was trying to record a spot. Like a commercial? Like a commercial. And I just had a burp come out in the middle of it.

Of her? Of her? Recording it. Yeah. And so I did it. And she didn't like it. So then I'd let her start going again. I just go, like, ah.

Like I was burping again. And she didn't laugh once. Okay. So here, listen to it. Oh, so you brought audio. Yeah, I brought audio. Go ahead. All for half the price of Ozimpic.

Oh. Lunchbox. All for half the price of Ozimpic. Trust the leader in medical weight loss. Are you for real? I guess it's for real. All for half. Okay, that's so annoying.

I would punch you, dude. Happening. All for half the price of Ozimic. Trust the leader in medical weight loss with over 30 years experience. They've helped over a million. Oh, my God. I was talking. I was talking.

Kill him. She tried to do a job here recording a commercial. She didn't laugh one time. And I'm like, girl, you need to have some fun at work. Lighten up, relax a little bit. She's trying to do a commercial so she can go home. I understand. But man, when you do that, like, if you would have laughed the first time or the second time,

okay, instead of getting annoyed, I'm like, maybe this is why she has trouble with dudes. She would have a good sense of humor. She did kind of laugh. I have a great sense of humor. I am so proud of myself that I didn't punch you in that scenario. Okay, would any of the rest of you guys laughed in that scenario? That was a case study. That would have happened once.

One time and he gets a fist in the face. Yeah. And I like let him go on without getting mad at him. And I just kind of dealt with it. And he's fake in a burp. It's not even a real way. That's all he's doing. No, the first one was a real bird.

Right, right, right. All the others are fake. Yeah, yeah. You're just interrupting her. Yeah, hit again, hear that first burp again. All for half the price of Ozimpic. Oh, that's disgusting. Yeah.

It's like a little toddler. Yeah, it's a toddler. I'm just saying, not a very good sense of humor if you can't laugh at things. I don't feel like that has. anything to do with my humor. No. Also, you're trying to hear of your bandwits for annoyance. And you know what we do at work?

We laugh at work. If you can't laugh at work, then why are you here? What? You know? I'm laughing right now. I love it right now. I don't think it's the same though. But let's not interrupt people when they're doing their commercials.

Yeah, it was an accident. The burp just happened to come out. All of them? No, those, once I saw that I needed to work under. Did you turn your mic on to burp? No. My mic was on. No, the reason he was in there

is because we had to record one together. So he just wanted to prolong us recording commercials. You know, to hang out with you longer? I guess. You know, I'm just that much fun that he wanted to hang out with me longer. Now we got the real end. He's jealous because she's got a dude.

Oh. I think we got to the end of this. We got a love triangle. Amy likes lunchbox. Lunchbox likes me. Is that what happening? No. That's a square.

And then you have to do. I don't. And we're in the middle. That's like a constellation. That's like a Noguway. I mean, if you want to fly to yourself and think I like you, you know. Hey, if you want to try to boost your ego.

This got weird. All right. Thank you. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So when kids are in school and they have less stress, they have more room to learn and they have more positive attitude about it.

So in elementary school, actually, several of them in Michigan, they have service dogs that they're bringing in as full-time happiness ambassadors to reduce anxiety and reduce the stress so that kids can learn. And they're already seeing a. big difference in the academics there. We could use one of those. A dog here, can you imagine? A happy-neastor. Who's taking them out?

That's true. And a lot of these dogs that are being used as service dogs don't have to work all the time every day, so it's not like they're being, because these dogs are very expensive, and they couldn't afford $20,000 to have one per classroom. But if they're dogs in the area, there's service dogs that in the daytime aren't servicing, they can easily go over to classrooms. But if we'd have had a dog, it'd have been over.

The idiots in class would have definitely. Yeah, not done anything you mean to it, but you'd have been able to focus on nothing else except for the dog. You'd have been a trick. I mean, it would have been a disaster for badly behaved kids. If you had a dog in the classroom lunchwalks as a kid, what would you have done? Oh, man, we would have tortured that thing. Tortured. What?

Not tortured. Torture? Hold on. Not tortured. Right. That's the bad word. Yeah, yeah. What do you mean by that?

But, I mean, we would have used it as an excuse. Oh, you know what I mean? Dog needs to go out and then you disappear for 45 minutes. Not just you for the bathroom? Right. Or you just let the same. the dog out, leave the door open. So then, oh, sorry, teacher, we got to go find the dog. See. Not like torture, but use it to your advantage is what I mean.

Torture the teacher with the dog. Yes. I wonder, though, if we did have one here and lunchbox like got upset at something, we gave him the dog and be like, oh, I'm okay now. See, I was thinking differently. We just have it and stick it on lunchbox when he gets upset of something. Just bites them. Yeah. Well, research shows that literacy scores go up after children just read to dogs. So we could read to them, talk to them. I think if children read to anything, their literacy score goes up, I think if they read, period. Right, right. But it's just nice to have a dog. I like it. You just got to take it to the right kind of kids.

Because people like lunchbox would let it out just so they could go out and chase it. Thank you. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have

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, Zon, Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.

There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

I mean, I have papers everywhere. Yeah, yeah. Because I write everything down. Yeah, you go put anything in your phone or computer. No, I take notes and I take it home and put it in a pile. But your notes are just scribbles. in every direction on a piece of paper. There's really...

Yeah, but sometimes when they're really good, I put a square around them. Oh, that's a good point, yeah. I do that too. That's a good point, yeah, yeah, yeah. I transfer it to something like... You also have a calendar. Yes.

He has no calendar. Yeah. Why would you have a calendar? The one time I had a calendar, I was in college. I had two jobs during the summer, and I bought a little, what is it called? A planner.

And I wrote down every single day I had to work at my jobs. In what time? Someone broke in my car and stole it. second day I had it. And you know what that meant? Never planned again. No, that was God telling me you don't need to be a planner. I would say the technology has allowed much easier way to plan.

Right. Just type of your phone. I understand. But God told me, hey, you don't need to be writing things down. And you don't ever miss anything? Nope. Except giving this lady her set list. Well, I wonder, are you ever late or do you ever forget an event or do you just not have that many things to do? No, no. I just remember in my head.

I'm weird. So that summer you made it to work? But that's not hard to go to work at the time you go to work. He had two jobs. Two jobs. I got like eight. But I do keep in my calendar. My calendar.

Yeah. If you don't need a calendar, good for you. It's interesting that he saw that as a sign from God when I share signs all the time and y'all don't believe me. We also don't believe him. No, he's lying. He doesn't believe himself. Yes. Someone broke in his car.

That's God breaking in his car. Well, it wasn't God, but God sent those people to my car. Yeah. Just say, hey, you're too organized. And the crazy part is? You're too organized. So God thought you were too organized? Yeah.

You wasted too much time writing in that planner. Okay, go ahead. The best part is I had a $100 winning lottery ticket in my console. They didn't take it. They just wanted the planner. God didn't want it. No, God was... What if God needed money?

Nothing. He would sell me. You keep playing that lottery, son. Oh, so God had two... Messages. Yeah, the plan one was don't plan as much. Plan two was keep playing the lottery. Yeah.

And they tried to steal my CD player. I had a detachable face from one of those cool ones. They got the face, but they couldn't. get it out the like whatever I guess it's console so I'd let the note in there I said hey boys

I'm an apartment whatever come see me if you come back for this I'll be waiting for you wait so you left and noted after they had already robbed your yeah and I stayed up the whole next night and I had golf club in my hand

waiting forward did they come but you weren't going to see God come but they never came back yeah so what were they going to do with the face no no no no he was leaving the note for the burglars

I know but not God no if God came back to the car though to get the CD player. Because God sent them. So you were ready for God with the forewood? Hey. Whomever? Whoever wanted to show up?

They're ready to get it. And so since then you haven't had a calendar. Haven't had a calendar and don't have a planar or nothing. And you keep playing the lottery. Keep playing the lottery. All in my head. You still have a CD player? I do.

Ultima. In your car? Yeah. Do you play CDs on it? Yeah, when I take a road trip? Ultimately doesn't road trip anymore, though, right? When's the last time that thing's been over like 20 miles? Oh, it's been a while.

Does it even work? anymore. It's scared. I would be scared to drive it more than 30 minutes outside of town. Do you drive it to work now? Yeah. The car's still coming back and forth? Yeah. I don't ever see your car out there. Where do you park? Downstairs. Bigger parking spot so people don't ding your doors. Oh, you're worried about your doors getting dinged in that car? Yeah. How much do they offer you for the car when you try to trade it in? Well, Kelly Blue Book says $250 bucks. For the whole car. For the whole car. I mean, I feel like the tires are worth more than that. Because I just bought, your tires like six months ago.

Well, then they are worth more than that. But they didn't care. Well, I mean, I didn't take it to a like a dealership. I just did Kelly Blue Book online. Got it. But I mean, if they saw it in person, they'd probably give me less because the the paint is faded. How much would you take in person for it?

Oh, man, I don't know. It's, it's like if someone walked up right now and said, man, I'm doing a collection of real piece of crap altamist. And this thing has lived its life. I love it. It's like a, it's vintage. Vintage Ultima. I'd take a thousand for the car. The whole car. Probably. If they let me clean it out so I can keep my stuff. Well, yeah, I think that's part of the deal when you sell a car. You get to clean all your personal items out of it. Okay. So for $1,000 you would sell that car. Oh, man. Yeah. That hurts though. But then what do I drive?

No, no, no. You're missing the point. You take the $1,000. You put it toward another car. You got to buy something else. Because you can have to do that anyway. Eventually. But for $1,000 You're saying right now I don't know Because you may offer me $1,000 right now And I don't know if I'm ready to take it

But that's the question May I'd probably take $1,000 Suppose you're not buying this for $1,000 No, don't Immediate loss No, he would do it Just leave me carless No, it would help him

Well then don't sell it Get a new car And then what we do Is you ever see it's a fair When they're like Here's a sledgehammer Oh Oh

We destroy the car That would be mean Hey, we can run over with my Jeep I mean, there's a lot of stuff that's going down on that Ultima. Okay. You get your Bronco, dude. We could do like a monster truck thing with it. I drove the Bronco to work today.

I know. But I would really like to... The thing is he can afford another car. Right. He just doesn't get one. You would like to what? It would be cool is if I could fix it up. Oh, what a waste of money?

No, no. And put in the demolition derby. Because I went to one of those. I was like, man, this would be perfect for the Ultima. So you don't want to fix it up. You just want to put lipstick on it. it. Let's take out a pig. Yeah, but if I could, I'd fix it up.

Like, paint job. But you could. But it can't, well, we're going to spend way more money that's even worth. You go buy a new car for that. That's the problem. But for him, it's worth more. Oh, no, no. Amy, I'm not trying to pay. I was saying, like, I'd like... The demolition derby, they don't use like regular cars, though, don't they? Like, use

like metal cars? No, no, the real cars. Yeah, but like hard metal, not like all the ones with plastic bumpers. I think there's all the cars that were built of a lot of hard metal. Yeah, that's what I mean. You can't put like an ultima that has a plastic bumper. Sure, you can. Let it rip.

Oh, man. There are no rules. Or they have races. Dude, one hit and you're done. No, but they also have races. $1,000 just sold me the car right now. Do it. Don't think about it.

I'll think about it. See, this is what he does. And then he'll say $1,000 and I'll be like, oh, no. Then I'd have to sell it to them. Do it. Think about it. And then I'd be pretty much homeless. No, that's not what I...

You have a home. Having a car doesn't mean your home. Not having a car. No. I think you're missing the point of the root of that word. You'd be carless. You'd be carless. You'd go get another car.

Yeah, but that takes a long time. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, come back. Think about your answer here. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Being hydrated obviously feels good, but this whole study was just done. And those that have enough water in their bodies, they're more likely to help a coworker in need, more likely to cook, and more likely to send quality time with loved ones.

Feels like it's some of the water council. Like, all because you drink. water? It's like one of those commercials. That's just random. It's one of those drug commercials at the end where like may experience fatigue, gambling. I want to do somersaults. You're like, well, that's awkward. I have

shoulder therapy. I tore my rotator cuff a little bit and so I've been getting it done. And the physical therapist asked me, as I was working on it, she goes, you drink enough water? And I was like, what do you mean? She goes, I can feel in your body, you're not drinking enough water. I'm like, well, don't feel that hard. Wow. Were you tight or something? Like it's

you're not water, you know? You can tell by the like how your skin feels and like if you press your finger into your skin like the reaction. If you push down hard enough. Okay, you're good. Yeah. Listen, the things we don't spend enough time on that we should that are so, so, so important are sleep and water. And if we don't get those, nothing else will go right. Maybe for a minute, but everything else tends to crack too.

But those are some random, random things. Yeah, like you're just overall going to be a better person. So a woman lost $25,000 after she got scanned by someone impersonating Wells Fargo. Like, it was a legit phone call and she's going viral on TikTok now with her story because she wants to, you know, keep this from happening to others. I got a call that actually came up on my phone as an 800 number from Wells Fargo. And this person was a scammer impersonating Wells Fargo. They told me that someone in San Antonio, Texas had my driver's license and a debit card with my name on it and was going into a branch in San Antonio, Texas. And they were, you. And they

were trying to attempt a wire transfer in person. These things are getting so next level. I'm going to walk into a branch and be like, are we sure this is even real? Yes, this is a real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're sure. Yeah, if the phone says Wells Fargo and the numbers on it,

I'm going to think it's Wells Fargo. Yeah, and so she was giving information to stop the transfer, but what she was doing was giving information that allowed for the wire transfer wild. So I have a list of country stars who have been shot. and this is from Taste of Country. Trace Atkins starts things off because his second wife, Julie, they were arguing about his excessive drinking

and she accidentally shot him in the chest. How do you accidentally shoot someone in the chest? I don't really know. While arguing. I don't really know the full story. He later did try to say he was trying to disarm her when the gun went off. And also he got shot in the chest and was like,

let me pick this bullet out and keep seeing him. It just bounced on that. Yeah. It went through his heart and lungs and doctors gave him a little chance of survival, but he came back. Yeah, that's crazy. That was in 1994. And then in 1991, Tracy Lawrence was protecting a friend when he was shot four times,

and I had a clip of him telling you about it, Bobby from the Bobbycast. I didn't feel the initial impact, but what I do remember is that I grabbed the pistol with my left hand. The guy was right behind me, and I grabbed the gun, and it went off and a shot my finger. I got hitting the hip, which I still carry a bullet there. I got hitting the upper right arm, and they shot me right through the nose. left knee right through the joint. Find out who your friends aren't. Yeah, that dude.

When they shoot you right in your hip. You still as a bulletin? Probably. Wow. Also the Parmala drummer. That's right. Yeah, he's the next one on the list. Yeah, so Tracy's was an armed robbery, and then so was Scott Thomas, who's the Parmali drummer.

As after a show, they followed them onto their RV and had guns and were demanding money, and then they exchanged gunfire. One robber was injured, another one killed. In the RV, they were shooting at each other. Yeah, which is like fighting in a phone booth. Like something's going to get hit for sure. Yeah. Anybody else make the list?

I got an honorable mention. Go ahead. John Party was stabbed. That's true. At a bar front? Yeah. And another guy pulled out a knife. Still has a big old scar on him.

Yeah, he took. When I massage him, I go around it. Three shivs to the stomach. Is a shiv, a stab? Shiv is what you stick in. It's like you make a shiv. Oh, okay. It's like the blade.

He got three shives to the stomach. Yeah. Yeah. And he couldn't find proper. Proper medical care. He had to drive hours and hours. Holy. Yeah, yeah.

That's crazy. That's crazy. Okay. There you go. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

Oh, it's Bobby. Tell me something good. I was reading the story by this guy named Craig. He's hiking up near Calgary, and this grizzly bear comes out at him. And so it's a grizzly and the two cubs. So it's a mom grizzly and the two cups. And if animals's hungry or protecting their kids or hurt, like, that's trouble. That's where you get your face ripped off.

And so he's like, oh, crap. His dog with him, a Doberman named Knight, N-I-G-H-T. And if I were the grizzly, I would just eat the dog. But the dog gets in the wick, go br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-like, and the grizzly retreats, which is wild because I'm a bigger animal. Yeah. I'm just thinking, if I'm the grizzly and I don't care what kind of dog, I pawed that thing, boom, knocked on the side to the side to eat me a human.

But that is not what happened. Knight stepped in front, got back on his hind legs, and just started barking and maybe the bear just got annoyed at the barking sometimes at night or if there's a storm

Stanley's barking and I'm like shut up! Like that would annoy me but this bear is huge all good nobody died

the dog saved the human's life which is the great story but I just started to think if I'm a grizzly I don't take that crap do you guys remember what to do

if a grizzly bear tries to attack you I always forget poop you lay down he's right there what do we do don't you get up

and like act like you're bigger than him? I start singing Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around. Have you ever heard that song? No. I think in theory maybe you do the rar. Because that's what the Doberman did. Rha on the hind legs.

And I guess we're learning that these bears are kind of like, they're little chicken. They're like bullies. You stand up to them? Yeah. See, I don't want to test that theory, though. If it's a brown bear, they say lay down. Okay, that's what a black bear, fight back.

and if it's a white bear good night okay that's a polar bear good night because you're in Antarctica and it's too cold yeah I mean they found you for a reason yeah I think I would just run regardless I think that would just kick in I would just run or I would take whomever I was with and throw them in front of me and then run that's not cool man yeah

great story night the dog saved a life we love it that's what it's all about that was tell me something good a win is a win A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clivert Taylor the 4th.
