And I'm not thinking I'm watching basketball I'm like Oh well see Son you know Like whiskey has 80 Don't say As Ken

What lunchbox? Lunchbox Do you know what Uproof means? I don't know If I ever heard the song Man Listen to it

You've heard this song It's funny Oh yeah I know what it is It's like He wants some alcohol That won't make him Call this chick

Yeah, I guess right Like that way He doesn't go back to her I guess It's a play on words With like 80 proof But you proof To keep me from going back to

I think lunchbox sounds better than you do What do you mean? Wow. No You prove because she's heard him And he's something you proof And he keeps going back So he's drinking Stop

It's gonna keep Right but the play on words Or it makes him like Not think about her Okay see this is why I told my son I don't know Okay good There he yeah

Because he's like What does that mean dad And I was really about to go into the whole Well whiskey has 80 proof whiskey there's 90 proof. Man, sometimes you get a rum that's 105 proof, but then my wife's like, what are you talking about? He's writing it down.

My wife said, don't talk to him about that. So I stopped talking. Yeah, you proof, is a play on words, of something that keeps, like, it's... The alcohol proof. Unlike you, I need something that's keeping me from you. Yeah, away from you. And the proof is the alcohol.

Yeah, but it's like, I need something because of you. I need something you proof. Yeah. So how would you explain that to a nine-year-old like that? I would say it's about giving to others. Oh, volunteering, giving back. And working good through parents and being a good kid. All right.

That's what I'd say. That'll go really well. Okay, up next to the guy who knew it quickly. First he claimed he never heard the song. Then he knew it. It's lunchbox. There he is. Today is the day.

The USA takes the field for the World Cup in Qatar, Qatar, Qatar, whatever you want to call it, 1 o'clock central time. So listen to all you bosses out there, you need to stop the work day at like 1230 and let your office watch it. Send them home, send them to the bar. This is a time for the United States of America to come together and cheer on our men's national team today as the World Cup begins for us. And we are going to march to the championship.

And it all starts today. We need you and you and you and you to watch. Don't be that lame office that makes them work. I don't think a whole lot of Americans that work, normal jobs, unless the show, will care that much about soccer. I'm interested-ish. It's USA. It doesn't matter that soccer. It's the United States of America.

No, no, I hear you. And I'll watch and I'll root, especially if they win and can move on. But I don't think it's not NCAA March Madness. And they don't even let offices out for that. Yeah, yeah, because that's just individual schools. This is us as a country. Backing art. The Olympics, we don't let people out for that.

I was just thinking about it. With sports that we know. So I get it also, I am mildly excited. We just never do well in soccer. Mildly excited? Yeah, I don't get that invested. Oh, my goodness. Have we ever won the World Cup?

No. No. No, no. No. So we're probably not going to win it this year. We basically own the Red Solo Cup. Yeah. Other than that, we're cupped out.

All right, next. Amy, what's up? Here she is. So I had an interesting encounter with a young man. He's probably 20, mid-20s or something. And I was with my daughter, who's 15. And he was definitely checking her out. And I turn and look back at him and said,

she is only 15. Showed him. How do you know she was checking her out? Oh, it was obvious. You know, he was in his 20s. I'm speculating. What happened was. I don't, because personally, he might be older, and I don't want that to be the case.

Because then I would have. I was ready to be like, if you keep looking at her, I will do something to you. But she is getting older and growing, and just some people are creepy. So I just was like very protective. And you said that to him or you said it in your head. No, no, I said. I turned back. I said she's 15.

And what did he say? Perfect. No, he just like, yeah. Yeah. Then you're like, okay, well, we're going to call a law. No. No, we just kept walking. She doesn't even know I said that to him. Like, I said it under my breath.

Yeah, because she would be mortified. If you're walking right beside her and you go, she's 15. No, she was ahead. No, she, I looked back and I turned and I said. I think you've built yourself up a little bit on this one. No, no. I said. It turns out she just mouthed it.

And then I'm like, Amy. She's 15. And you're going to do something to you. Amy goes, almost punched him in the face. No, he didn't hear you. I did feel like I was about to punch him. That's a good story. I like it, though.

But yeah, you're right. I guess. It's hard with your daughter getting older. Yeah. Because they always want to wear adult clothes. Oh my gosh. Don't even get me started on these kids in their clothes. Yeah, I won't because I don't feel comfortable talking about girls.

No, right, don't know. Ray, go ahead. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, he once had an issue with a fox, and he once bought a storage locker with lunchbox. Bobby Bones. Where's the money, though? Oh, we still got the money. What? What do you say?

It's in our account. It's in our business account. What account? You set up a whole new account that I didn't know about? Yeah. This is not what this is about. Business camp. Like out of base. Did you sell those second shoes?

Yeah. And we got a couple more we're about to put up because it's Christmas time. I wanted to wait and make sure. How much if we profited? Like, well, we paid $200 something for the locker, so we've profited $180. We're profit right now. We're over. We've already in the black.

Yeah. Okay. So then we have two other pair of shoes to go? Yeah. We got some nice ones. I don't even know. Some brand that I never even heard of us. Well, let's just go and sell them and, it's taking 10 years.

I know, but I slow roll out. No, we don't have to slow roll out. We're not Kmart. He was waiting for Christmas because people will probably pay more. Yes. Okay. No, let's roll them out. Get them up there.

Okay. Yeah, that's the deal. I paid for it. You handle it, but you're not handling it. No, no, I'm handling it. Anyway, let me do my thing real quick. Oh, yeah. I'll be five seconds now.

Get on TikTok and go look up iPhone hacks. You'll teach you stuff that your iPhone can do that you never knew. Oh. Really? There's so many good videos about things. They're like, hey, you probably didn't know. you can do this on a screenshot, how to sign a signature, on a contract, how to, uh, if someone sent you a doctor, there's so many iPhone hacks, not if you hack in the phone, but of just

things that are built into the iPhone that you had no idea. I learned a lot of how to do signatures on stuff just from looking at it. I also, instead of Google sometimes, I go to TikTok and it's very, it's, there's some valuable stuff there, as long as you know what you're looking for, but do the iPhone thing. All right. Also, do the thing where you put, list our shoes and we get our money. Yeah, that's on eBay. That's on eBay. That's on eBay. Okay, let's go. It's time to 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. It's hunting season. And I hate it because it always leads to arguments with my husband. To be honest, I really have no issue at all with them going hunting, but it never fails every year that we fight. I'm angry with him now because he shot his deer at 12 in the afternoon, and it's 8.19 p.m. He's not home.

We have three kids, 14. nine and two, and he doesn't even text me to let me know not to worry. I have no idea if he's out in the cold or if he shot the deer or what's happened. Do I have the right to be angry at his lack of consideration? Any advice on staying sane and keeping a healthy marriage during hunting season? Signed, dear God, help me. Now, this hunting can be interchanged with softball. Oh, yeah.

Golf? Hunting? Video gaming? Football. Yeah, video gaming at your home, though. That would be the difference. Um, so yeah, this happens. And this happens with me a bit too where I just, sometimes forget that I have a home I live in.

And I just, if I have a day off, I'll just go and play golf and never even, and I have my phone, I throw it in the golf cart and never even like at it. Which is rare for me. But I do this too and I'm trying to get better at it. So you have no issue with him being gone. Your issue is just with him not reaching out to you saying that I'm okay. That seems like an easy thing to get through. I think the harder one is like, I don't want you to be hunting so much. Yeah.

That's where the big fights come. Yeah. So here's what I say you do. Fight about that and then back up into, okay, you can hunt as much as you want, but you have to call and let me know. I mean, if you want the real practical reason, not the healthiest way to do it. If you really want to get some crap done, this is what you do. You go to him, you go, hey, we'll call him, I don't know, Clint. You go, hey, Clint.

Man, you're hunting a lot. Yeah, baby, it's a tiny season. It's, it's, you know, it's gun season, modern gun. Yeah, but you also want muzzle hunting. You also, like, you're just hunting all the time. Birds, deer, hogs. Like, we have three kids. And he's like, but you know what's honey.

I get it, honey. But it just seems like it's a little too much. Like, you're gone a little too much. Can we cut some of the time that you're in the woods off? And he's going to get a little upset. Now, you're playing a game. He's going to start playing checkers, but you're playing chess up here, up here in the noggin.

And he's like, you know, No, I wait all year for deer season. I don't even like turkey hunting that much. I mean, yeah, we go duck hunting a little bit. But that's just all the guys can get together, so we can hang out. But you know, I wait all year to go deer hunting. This is very important to me. Well, it's just a little too much.

Wait, so you're having to fake and act like you're really mad. Yeah. Okay. Huff and puff. He can huff and puffs and puffs. It's going to be a long comfortable. Okay. You let him go.

You can give it an hour. You can give it a whole night's sleep if you want. I don't recommend that part. Then you go back, go look, honey, he says you. this. Hey, honey, I'll be the girl now. Honey, I'm sorry. You know, I know you love hunting. I don't, I can't do this. My voice's going to go away. You say, you know what? Okay, you don't have to hunt any less.

But I'll make a deal. I won't bust you. I won't bust your chops about hunting less. If you'll just text me three times during your trip. So forget that I said that. Let's reach a compromise that you will reach out to me a few times during your trip every few hours. That way, I want you to hunt less, but you don't want to hunt less. So just reach out to me and let me know you're okay. and that's where we meet in the middle. Okay, okay, honey. Oh, you win.

I'll do that. The end. You got your whole thing done here. But it's only because you asked for a way more than you actually wanted, and he's settled there. And he's a dumb dumb. I won't even know what you're doing.

Now, is that the healthiest and what relationship experts will tell you? No. But do you actually want to get crap done? Yeah, and it's uncomfortable at first. Be like, you hunt less. No, yes, no, yes, no. Okay, fine.

I'll give you one. You can hunt the same amount, but just reach out to me. Okay, fine, good compromise. That's it. That's all fixed. You're welcome. Can I tell you what my mom did?

Yeah. So my dad would go hunting every weekend with the boys. And then she got upset and she told him, hey, I want to start going with you. Oh, no. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And you know what he did? Ah, no, it's just the boys.

You know what? I'll just stay home. It's fine. So he stayed home. He didn't go hunting for the rest of the season. Yeah. What? I don't think that's going to happen.

That's a funny one. It was a bluff. I think my mom totally bluff. She didn't want to go hunting. I guess we could say that about golf. Total bluff. I wish my wife would be like, I'll go play golf. Yeah.

Yes. I don't want to be amazing. Let's go. Every day. Yeah, twice a day. Let's go in the morning and night. I'll go after the show. But she's not going to say that.

Yeah. So if you want to have healthy relationship, you communicate effectively, you say this is why it's bothering me. But if you want to get crap done, you say no more hunting, and then you fall back and compromise on what you really wanted to begin with.

That's it. That's the end. You want your problem solved? Hit me up. You want your problem solved quickly, effectively, but difficulty, hit me up. Double time.

What method do you use in your own relationship? I just do whatever she says. All right, that's it. We got your email and we let it on the air. Now it's about to close. Bobby's mailback. Yeah. This is a voicemail we got last night from Janice.

I listened to your show and I had someone DME saying that her name is Trisa Decker and that she was a communication manager for you. I just wonder if she's true or is she just a big fat faker. Just let me know. Thanks. Who else saw this? Not me. Because someone saw this.

Mike, was it you who sent me the Teresa Decker Instagram page? So Teresa, the name is Teresa.decker 91, and she says that she is a communications director for me. Ignore anyone except her. I don't know who this is. It's a scam. It's a scam alert. Wow. Wow, that's crazy.

There is no. Communications director? Teresa Decker. Here's the only people that will reach out to you from me. me or somebody with a blue checkmark or somebody I follow. That's the thing too. If you're like, I don't know, it seems like it could be. See if I follow them.

Yeah, because surely if Teresa. Dr. Decker was in charge of you, you'd follow her. I just look. Oh, I do follow. I'm just kidding. But that's probably not even. I don't have a communications director. I'm not the president.

Weird man. Yeah. Morgan number one may reach out at times if we're trying to give people prizes. That's not Teresa Dexter. She also has a blue checkmark by her name and has worked on the show. And you follow her. Yes. Teresa Decker, I don't know who she is.

Don't give any money to her. Tracea Decker has zero posts. She says communications director. I mean, she looks friendly. Maybe she should be my communication. I don't even have that job. That's not really her. Is that on her profile

that she's the communications director for you? Let me see a resume. Maybe I'll bring her on as my communications director. Maybe she's good. I don't even know what that is, actually. Yeah, it says communications manager for at Mr. Bobby Bones. Ignore anyone who adds you to hangouts, emails, et cetera. Thank you all.

And they're trying to get money from people. Don't believe it. That's a scam alert. Scam alert. Scam alert. Scam alert. Scam alert. Thank you.

There was another scam alert I wanted to talk about here for a second. Is the company will do things where they try to trick people into falling for links just to see if you're dumb enough to do it so they can lecture you? Guess who fell for another link? Lunchbox. Oh, no. These nerds. Like, I don't fall for any scams. And we don't ever get, there's no spam that gets through our work email. So I don't understand why they keep doing it.

Because they sent it and they said it was a note saying, hey, your time off has. been rejected or rescinded because you are out of days off. And I'm like... Man, that's a good one just to send to people. Oh, yeah, especially at lunchbox. He loves days off. Sometimes he's here and he still takes a day off. I'm like, I didn't even request time off.

So someone must have hacked my time off. And I'm like, so I click on the link and I start filling out the stuff. And then four days later. What do you feelin all the stuff? Like personal stuff? Yeah. And it's like, you dummy. Wait, hold on.

So let me ask you. In the subject line, did it say external in all caps? That's what they keep saying. Don't open anything that says external. Yeah. No, no. If anything is external, you know where it goes? Spam.

No, not in mine. No, not in mine either. Well, mine. Well, I say that. I haven't checked mine all you here. Exactly. But this, because it's iHeartmedia.com, I'm like, well, that's us. But yours says, it said it came from iHeartmedia.com.

Yes. Yeah. Oh, they do that. And that's what I'm saying. So what are they doing? It's just stupid. So I can't click on. So I fall for their emails quite a bit.

But then how do they get to you and go, hey, you fell for it? No, they send an email later and say, hey, we sent the bait. Did you fall for it? You did? And I'm like, yeah, I did. Okay, but you sent it from iHeartmedia.com and you tell me your request exceeds vacation balance. I'm like, well, I didn't even request time off. Okay, that's the first little flag.

Well, that's what I'm saying. And he doesn't say aheartmedia.com, though. Like, it's actually from iHeartmedia. Yes. Yeah, yeah. It says HR. I heart. The account is time off at iHeartmedia.com.

I know. I click it too. That's what I'm saying. I click it too. But they do keep saying don't click anything external. Okay. Does it say external? It does not say external?

No. It does not. No where? No, it really doesn't. And that's what I'm saying. So these nerds are like, No, no. This is good that the company does this.

Yeah, but also weird. I'm never going to click anything that really is bad for me then. I mean, like, yeah, the next thing you know when he really is out of time and he needs to like scam alert, scam alert. Somebody tells scuba and then scuba tells you, hey, have you checked your email? your time stuff's messed up. That's really how they get to us.

Not these emails. Why does he keep falling for this? Do what I do. Don't even open a single email. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Leanne Fan, a 14-year-old in San Diego,

was named the Grand Prize winner of this year's Young Scientist Challenge. It's a middle school competition. She developed fencing headphones. It's a low-cost headphone device that uses machine learning and blue-light therapy to detect and treat ear infections in kids, potentially preventing up to 60% of hearing loss in children.

So she's about to be a high school freshman, and she invented this. Wow. She won $25,000, and this is her talking about how her invention works. My project is fencing headphones, detecting and treating mid-ear infections using machine learning and phototherapy. My solution to this mid-ear infection problem is to create a low-cost device that can both detect and treat a mid-ear infection. And to make this device easy for children to wear, this way you can live.

listen to music while treating your infection. And so some of these kids don't even know how to describe their ears hurt, but this is able to see that. And again, that's how it stops the hearing loss in young kids. But again, she invented this at 14 years old. That's wild. Once lunchwalk invented lunchbox invented some pants. Yeah. But they were invented 10 years earlier.

We found out way later. I was in fifth grade and they had invent America and I invented tear away pants where, because you go to school and you're cold in the morning and then at recess time, you get hot. So you want shorts. So I invented where they tear away at their knees. And they told me it was a dumb idea. And what do you know? They're all for sale everywhere now. Well, we look back at when they were actually patented.

It was 10 years prior to him being in fifth grade. So they had already been invented. So I think they were going, hey, guy, we already have it. That's what we think now. But it's good. Yeah, so I relate to this girl. I invented a car when I was 17. Oh, really?

Yeah, what if you get in something? It's got wheels on it. You push a pedal. They're like, I already done that. And they said, you're an idiot. I was like, oh. Except there already was a car. I mean, Michael Cox, who is the one that won the school,

one at Reed Elementary, he invented a cup holder for a car. There were already cup holders. They were already tear away pants, but I wonder what the cup holder had was different. It had to be different. He did something. He did go on to rice and all. He's really smart, but I mean, yeah. I was like, come on, man.

Classic Michael Cox. Crushing it, man. That's what it's all about. Good job by her. That was Tell Me Something Good. Recently we talked about a woman who had taken her dog, who had died, and she had made it into a rug, like a bare skin rug. And you actually saw the paws of the dog.

the head of the dog is weird. Very weird. It's so not illegal. I guess you can have a bear. Because even the dog's head didn't even look right. It was definitely dead. It was definitely dead. It's weird.

It's bizarre. So this is in America. She made a dog skin rug out of the dog that she loves so much. So lunchbox wanted to see if this could really be done. So what'd you do? I called a taxidermist. And you just went right for it? And I just started describing the animal.

to see if they would do it. And when I got to the dog part, like, would they be freaked out? Would they be like, that's disgusting? I just want to see if someone would really do this. What state was this? That's in the South. He always messes with Florida. Let's just say.

We had a taxidermis to live near us in Arkansas. And so we got a lot of deals. We were there a lot. I don't want to implicate anybody, but let's just say South. South of us. All right. Here is lunchbox calling Taxidermis. Hello? Yes, man.

I was just calling to see. I know you guys do stuffing there at your taxidermy, but I was wondering if you also do rugs. You're talking like a hide, right? Like do the, like just... Yeah, like the skin. Yes, exactly what I'm talking about. Depends on the animals, the side, you know,

the, you know, some hide is harder to work with than others. Yeah. What do you got? It's about 75 pounds. He's a really good boy, so it'll be easy to work with. Like, he won't give you any problems. He's very friendly. He's used to being around.

people and yeah. Are you talking about a dog? We lost Fluffy last night. Kenilkoff got him and took him down and the dog always, you know, lays by my feet and was so soft and so friendly. So I just want to have her forever. So every day when I get out of bed,

I want to be able to rub my feet on Fluffy. Oh, okay. That's a little out of the norm. I was hoping you could keep Fluffy's tail on there because her tail would always wag and smack me. And I was like, oh, there's Fluffy's tail. I mean, are you mentally prepared to deal with, you know, seeing essentially a deflated member of your family laying on your living room floor? Yeah, I mean, Fluffy just, I mean, he's a part of the family.

I mean, if that's really what you want, we could make that happen. It smells really bad, so I will bring her by tomorrow, round three. It'll be Fluffy, me, and I really appreciate it. We'll see tomorrow. Oh, oh, okay. Oh, man. You know, I got to say, I applaud this guy because. He wasn't going, yeah, bring a Bible, make a little cash, call it a day.

He said, hey, are you sure he can handle, like, a family member like this? Yeah. Like, he was giving you every reason to think about it more before you added in. But the fact that he would really do a dog is crazy. Just wanting a dog is crazy. You're crying. Fluffy. Do we think all taxidermis would do this?

I think so. I think so. They'll stuff a dog? They'll stuff a dog? What's the difference, I guess? That's right. And bobcat, a dog, a deer, whatever. I mean, it's so crazy.

So crazy. So weird. It's time to spill the tea! Let's spill the tea! The person that's spilling the tea today is... Lunchbox. Oh, guys, let me tell you. I know you've been thirsty.

Been waiting all weekend for that tea. But when you spill it, we don't get to drink it. It's on the floor. You always say thirsty, but when you spill it, it's on the floor. Sorry. It's wasted. Yeah, it's on the table. All right.

Guys, what is the number one complaint from Eddie? Oh. All the time. What is the complaint? Too much work? Oh, yeah. Amy, what else does he say about work? He's here working all the time because he's the hardest.

Did you tell her to say this? No. It feels like a script. I know, it does feel like a script. What's happening here? I know. Everybody would know that's the number one complaint. Right? Right.

He's always here until three o'clock because he's swamped. He just doesn't even have time to finish all his work because there's so much on his plate. Eddie, the hard worker. That's weird. Because I'm in the other room the other day trying to record some spots. and Mr. Hard Workers at it again, I walk out. And Eddie, I didn't know this, but part of his hard work is he's a band leader here at work.

He gets a couple guys in another studio and they get together and they sing songs. And Eddie plays a guitar and he's all right, now your turn. Oh, they do. They do like kumbayab. Yeah, so he's the band leader. Here you go. Here's some little music from their last session. I'm a writer.

I'm a lover. And I'm a son. I made my music in the song. Office band. Yeah, what's this? I mean, this is Eddie playing the guitar, Pitts and Kevin on the vocals. Like they're like audio guys back there.

And they're just sitting there jamming and they sit in there for 30 minutes jamming out to different cover songs. So what are you saying? I don't think Eddie's that busy, guys. The hard worker is so swamped but he's got band practice going on. It's not practice.

What is it? Oh, it's just time for us to release a little bit. As soon as we're done working here, everyone kind of leaves, but we stay late, and that's our break to go to the kitchen, reheat some food, eat a little bit, talk a little bit. Do you think they did music for 30 minutes? Oh, yeah. That was the only song we did.

No, no, no, no. Were you waiting on him for something? No, no, I was doing commercials and you could hear the- He was working. I was working, and you could hear it coming through the door. Oh, it was coming to your microphone. And I was like, okay. I thought maybe you're waiting to record.

I thought you're waiting to record like something with him. No, so then I'm like, I got to go see what's going on. Oh, it's Eddie and Kevin and Pitts. having a little band practice. Mr. Hard Worker is so busy. I'm here until 3 o'clock, guys. I don't know if I'm ever going to get my work done. Hold on.

Take it from the top, guys. And I'm a lover. I'm saying, come on. I'm taking my music in my son. That's what I'm saying. I don't know where I fall on this one, guys. And it's like, don't offices do this where they're like, oh, let's do employ bonding, you know, where they do stuff together.

This is like our little bonding afterwards. It's only about five minutes, max. We did that one song and that was it. And you know what? I'm upset because he recorded me without my acknowledgement. Knowledge. Whatever. Yes, my knowledge.

And he gets upset at what I do that. This is my favorite part now that these two record each other all the time. Eddie records lunchbox secretly talking to customer service. Lunchbox records Eddie. I don't know what Eddie was doing. I'm just hanging out with my boys. Just wait for a couple days and they'll be complaining about all the work he has. We can just play this clip over and over again.

You two better watch your... Hey, wash your backs. We'll be watching your bags. Watch your bags, because you both are looking out to really get each other on the air. I'm here for it. Eddie, I don't know what to say. I mean, dude, it's one song, man.

If that's what it is, that's what it is. You promise? Yes. No, but you already said it's like at the kitchen, getting something to eat, talking, then singing. It's a little lunch break. I know, but... It's three, and we already had...

It doesn't matter. Thank you, lunchbox. Let's spill the tea. That's a good one. The tea there. That was so much tea, you could drink it off the ground. That was a good. This is Jeff from Colorado.

Hey, my anniversary is coming up next week, and I was hoping you could read a poem for me, for my wife, for our 10th anniversary. She is a teacher, and I am a veteran. I've sent a few messages, a couple of emails, and I'm really hoping you can hook me up. Because if not, I'm going to have to create a TikTok, and I really don't want to do that.

All right, thanks. No problem. We can get his number. I'll call him back. I'll do the poem. I can give you one right now. Hickory Dickery Doc. Oh, no, not that one, once. Hey! Not that one.

No, Andrew Dice Clay? No, no, no, no. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, we'll get him on. I don't know if even wants it on the air, but I'll record a form video. Well, Merry Christmas present, right? Like, cameo, that'd be $10,000, but still, I'll do it. No, I got you. I got you. I got you. Here's Amy's Pile of Stories.

So I have some tips on how to stay safe while you're shopping online. line this holiday season. I need these. Yeah, because all kinds of scammers out there, that's for sure. First of all, be password smart. So you might be logging on to a lot of sites. They're like, hey, you want to create an account? And you're like, oh, sure, no problem.

Don't be tempted to just recycle the same password over and over again. Make sure it's unique to each site. Dang. I use Cowboy 69. You just told everyone. Crap. I use 68 for now on. Yeah.

Make sure that it's like dot com or dot net, any of the other dots. could be suss or dot org. If you're shopping. Are you shopping at dot gov? They could. Trying to buy other countries and governments. Don't overshare online. Like if you're posting things, even on social media,

they're checking everywhere to cross-reference things. And so someone might be stalking you there. Avoid public Wi-Fi. That's a dangerous one. And then watch your back. Anytime you bust out your credit card in public, say you are doing some shopping at a coffee shop or on an airplane or something.

You get out your credit card. people are writing it down. This is what I would do. I'd pull it out, then I'd stand up quickly and turn around and go like, who's looking? I'm watching you all.

Watching you all. And then buy your thing. Yeah. Or just get lifelike. But then still do all that. Yes, yes, yes. When speaking of airplanes, I want to remind everyone

of the TSA rules for packing Thanksgiving foods. Like if you're traveling somewhere, maybe you want to take it or you've got leftovers. Maybe you've got your famous, you know, gravy or cranberry recipe or something. You want to make it at home

and then you're flying somewhere else. Those are yams. I promise. I swear to you. No, it looks like a switchblade. No. Well, actually, yams, for sure, the chunky ones, like the chunks you could travel with because that's a baked good that you can carry on an airplane.

But the mushy ones, I don't know if that'll fly because it's technically liquid. Well, you freeze it then probably. And you try to get through before it melts. Oh, good idea. Cranberry sauce, gravy, preserves, jams, jellies, wine, champagne, all that stuff. Just like, if you don't fly often, you might not remember that these are the rules. So Dolly Parton did something with People magazine that is super cool. And it's like the one last thing answers, like where they asked her, the last moment you had of nostalgia.

And that was her finding a picture of her and her husband on their honeymoon in Florida back in the day. And she was in a little polka dot bikini. Her latest fashion disaster was when she went to a big formal dress-up dinner. And she got there and it wasn't formal. Oh, that's funny. At least she's Dolly, though. Yeah. Yeah.

She said she's used to being over-dressed. But at this point, it was a little out of control. The last time she was late, she said she hates being late for any reason, but she was working on a Christmas movie and she got a flat tire on the way there. So she was late because of that. She did a call to give a heads up, though. The last time she was starstruck was when she was talking to Elton John and Mick Jagger. And then her last indulgence. Potatoes are her weakness, but cheesecake is definitely her latest.

And I love cheesecake. I'd have it for breakfast. Yeah. What's your latest? Oh, we got a good breakfast. Indulgence. indulgence? Yeah, what would be?

I mean, it could even be a purchase. What'd you have for breakfast? Like a shoes? This morning, there's a cereal that I eat now because I have a bunch of sugar and it called Three Wishes. Do you guys have that at all? No. Is it like Magic Spoon? Yeah, but it's a little less sugar.

Okay. I like Magic Spoon, too, but Magic Spoon is pretty expensive. Yeah, it is. And it's like two bowls and you're done. But three wishes that's right ahead for breakfast. But an indulgence? Well, maybe this one will be easier. What's the last time you were late?

Oh, boy. We go through each. I don't want to answer for any of them. I mean, the fashion disaster one's pretty easy because sometimes I wear if they're navy or black, like socks, I wear wrong color socks because they all look the same color to me. And that's not a disaster,

but my colorblindness is always hindering that. But that's good to know about Dolly. I feel like I know her a little bit. She doesn't like to be late. Hey, the grades don't. You know what I'm saying? That's right. Is that it?

I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. So a bus driver has been driving a metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit bus for 50 years. So they decided to surprise him by putting his face on the side of the bus. Oh, that's funny. Yeah.

Just to thank him for his service all this time. I mean, I hope he got more than that for 50 years. I hope that wasn't like the big gift. It's estimated that he's carried 2.8 million passengers over the years. And here's a clip of coworkers talking about him. He comes in here. He never complains. He comes in day out. He trains new people. He's been a great teacher to me since I came to Martin 05. He was just so put together and in command and control of that bus.

I love that he got his face on it, but maybe a thousand bucks for every year. Oh, wow. Maybe you give him $50,000 for 50 years. See, that's legit. Yeah, that's really nice. And then after he's like, wow, then you drive the bus up and he's like, in my face. Yeah. Not just the face. Not just the face, but I do love the face.

Maybe they have something big plan too. That's a good story. Good for him. 50 years of doing anything. That's crazy. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. All right.
