Morning studio. Morning.

All right, we're going to do in our get-to-know segment, everybody has breaking news. Breaking news! Breaking news! We go around the room and everybody's going to share a step. I'm just kidding. The only one with breaking news is Morgan. Morgan? Breaking news? Yeah?

Go ahead. Are you ready? We're ready. I have a boyfriend. There's a boyfriend. Oh! There's a great news. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah. This is a big announcement. For those that are new, oh, the trials and tribulations of Morgan. Yeah. Having a boyfriend and not, then having a boyfriend and not, and then looking, not. And then she meets this guy and man in uniform and he disappears and comes back. And Amy's like, he's living a double life.

And we're like, right. That was a theory. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was a strong. But now that they're officially together, I'll back off.

I will until he proves. Or what, he's innocent now. Okay. He was a little guilty at first. So he was guilty, but until proven innocent. proven in the thing. So Morgan, why, I don't know. I don't know what to ask because I don't know much about it. So you kept a secret. Good job. What's up? Well, we've been dating. I mean, we've been, we started, like we met each other at beginning of March. So that's kind of the timeline. And he's just a lovely, incredible human. You met him where? We met on Hinge. And did you have a bunch of little fires going at the time? Or was it one of your times when you quit for a long time and went back? No, but I had just changed my dating profile. I had been more intentional about what I was putting on my dating profile. So went from, like, fun and flirty to, like, a little flirty, but mostly serious.

So what about him on the app stood out to you? He just seemed, I don't know, like, something about just the way he presented himself, like, in his pictures. He just seemed, like, very cool, calm, collected, and, like, nice. So how did you guys define the relationship? It happened after he had got back and was just like. It was gone again. No, this was the time. Like, after he got back and I've just been kind of sitting on it and enjoying it.

He was just like, I'm so happy you're still around. Because doing what he does, he's used to people not being able to deal with the fact that he's gone for work. By the way, I think I'm the only one that really knows what he does. You are. Because I think she told me, I had to write it down so I could protect it. So because I know I can protect it a bit. But okay. Yeah.

So he came back. He's like, dang, like, I'm surprised. We had like a whole weekend together. like just going on dates and hanging out and then at the end of the weekend that conversation happened. Who brings it up? You were him? Well, I kind of made a joke

and was like, this feels... I'm not really joke, joke. I got you. I was like, this feels like girlfriend duties. And he was like, well, yeah, you are. And I was like, wait, what? Dang. And then the conversation happened. Okay.

That's pretty cool. I like it. What was the girlfriend duty? I don't know, but I don't want to ask. You can ask early in the morning to follow up on that. I was meeting a lot of his friends, a lot of his people that were close to him. And I was like, these are girl for her responsibilities.

There was a reason I didn't follow up on that. I don't know. Hey, everybody can ask a question. I'll allow it. But yes or no or super specific? Because you know, some people are going to go way specific and you don't want to, I don't know where you want to be. Yeah, that's true. Well, she can choose to say.

Yeah. Yeah. Amy, what is your question? I'll go first. How tall is he? I think he's like five, eight, five, nine. Morgan's five foot though Yeah

That's true you are wee little Everybody everybody's taller than me That's true She's little Yeah Okay You know I thought I'd be taller Interesting

I didn't think he'd be taller Okay He's a short king Maybe gets another question Oh I asked that one Oh that's right Yeah I guess Do you have one for

In addition to girlfriend That was a good one though Well How much are y'all Hanging out Now that it's changed Like has y' y'all's hanging out Is it more or less

Are you still like Living your lives individually. Still living our lives individually. We still hang out a lot. We're both traveling a lot. She's going back to the double life. I know where Amy. I know. I know. Amy. She's like, okay, so, I don't know. Does he ever call you a different name? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Amy's like, Amy's like, is he married? Does he have a tan on his ring finger? Okay, so you're still both very independent. Both very independent. We're both traveling a lot right now, but lots of face times, lots of hanging out in person. It's a good mix of both right now. Lunchbox? Boy, a lot of FaceTime.

Yeah. Like, he's gone again? FaceTime. He has to travel for work. Oh, my gosh. So. I can't be, what,

I'm going to be mad at somebody for traveling to work? How many, you get one question. You just asked it. No, I didn't. You answered something. It was a statement.

Mine was a statement. It was a statement. Okay. How many weeks out of the weeks you've known him? Has he been gone out of town? So you've known him for, say March.

So, four March, four April. basically two May so you're looking at roughly 10 weeks. Yeah, like four and a half. What? That's about a half.

That's a 50-50 lifestyle. But it's coming up where he's not going to have to travel anymore. Why do you keep you have 50-lifty lifestyle? You guys here under a red? He doesn't have another life. Okay, Eddie, go ahead. How different is this guy from any of your other boyfriend? Great question, because she's really picks him losers.

No offense to the losers. Okay, no offense to me either. I think you'd call them. There's though too, to be fair. I would. Very different. I mean, he's just, everything about him is different than what I would normally date. Our personalities are pretty different.

He's much more cool. Like I said, he's very cool, calm collective, very patient, very, like, great listener and very secure in himself. Is he jacked? Or is that two questions? That's two. I'd hold that one until next round. Okay, okay. Hold it.

I feel like he's, I don't even know what he looks like, but I feel like he's not a guy that wears a lot of hair product and chains. He doesn't. Yeah. That's kind of like Morgan's old type. Yeah. Hair product and chains. This guy, though, I feel like that's not him.

And I don't even know him, but I'm happy for you. Thank you. Has he done any more of those, like, um... I don't even know where you're going at this. Stalker things? No, like he's not a stoker. Was he? No, I didn't say that.

Oh, like when he got her... Elaborate things. They're not elaborate. They're small gus. Love bomb. That's what it's called. Love bomb. Yeah, has he love bombed anymore?

He's not love bombing. He's just loving. Like, but he's done. very sweet gestures, yes. But what's one of what we haven't shared with us yet? What was that? No, he... Interesting. I'm trying to figure out what does share.

Well, hold. Hold it. We'll come back. Okay. This is already a lot. This is already a lot. It's really cool, though. It's really cool. I just, I wanted to be a happy... We are. We are. Stop putting me in that category. I feel like things I say are not necessarily leaning towards that.

You just under, like, under us went 50-50 life. Like, so... That's good. They have their 50-50. what you meant. Morgan, congratulations. Morgan, I'm happy for you. Thank you. It's 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. I'm 40 years old. I want to make a change in my life. I'm thinking about going back to college to get my bachelor's degree.

I'm nervous about being so much older than other students and whether I'll be able to handle the coursework after so long and also with my job. What can I do to get myself ready for this change. Do you think I'll have trouble fitting in as an older student, signed, non-traditional,

traditional student? So if your question is, what can I do to get myself ready? It's just do it. You're never going to be, because you don't know what you're getting yourself into. You say that yourself, like, will I be able to handle? The way that you'll know you'll be able to handle is you get in, mix it up, and figure out the time you need to dedicate to both places. If you're just sitting around kicking rocks, letting time pass you by, you're going to

feel even more awkward, even more awkward, you're getting older. You shouldn't feel awkward anyway, but all these feelings you have now are just going to get worse and worse. What's going to happen is you're going to get in. It doesn't matter what the situation is. And you're going to realize, nobody's looking at you funny. Nobody cares. Everybody's so focused on themselves. You'll probably be so much better at school than you were when you were in school the first time anyway, because it actually matters to you. Absolutely. So if your question is, what can I do to get myself ready for this change. The answer is sign up, go to class. Scheduled around work, you still have to work. And do you think I'll have trouble fitting in? Doesn't matter. You're not

there to fit in. Are you going to fit in as far as I go to parties? No, of course not. But nobody cares. You're going to be the student. Everybody wants to be on a team with projects because you're going to be the one that cares and does the work. Yeah. So if you continue to wait, you'll just regret the time that you wasted waiting. If you're going to be the one. going to do it, go. Go right now. Turn me off. Turn my voice off. Go. Just go. Sit in any class. I got something. Go ahead. I disagree.

Please do. You got to go shopping. Go go shopping. Look at what the kids are wearing. It's not Trapper keep to school clothes. Go back to school shopping because like, I remember when I was in college and there was this older lady that came and everyone's just like, oh my gosh, like what's she doing here? You got to blend in because it's distracting. And this lady, she was always like.

Everybody was not like, oh my gosh, what is she doing here? Maybe you and your friends. This lady, too, was like so annoying with the whole, like, well, when I work, and I'm 40 years old, like, and she'd always, just don't do that. You've got to blend in, wear clothes like they're wearing, you know. No, wear clothes like they're wearing. No? Plus, if you're already having to spend money on your education, like, why do you have to also be shocking? I felt like this lady should have done that, but she didn't.

She has left a bad impression on you for other generations. Dude, or lady or whomever you are. Just go. Just go. Just go do it. You're going to love it. It's going to be hard, but it's going to be worth it. Get started as soon as you can.

With Lunchbox. Alex Taylor's 11-year-old boy scout from Kansas City was on vacation. In Hawaii, Aloha, man. Micamukalai, loo-hoo. What's happening right now? That's not real.

You know, he's just relaxed. Okay, go ahead. He's relaxing on the beach. And all of a sudden there's a woman in the water that's struggling, you know, strong current. He's like, I'm a Boy Scout. I learned how to save people, got out there, grabbed her, wrapped her up, and swam her to shore. How old was he? He's 11.

Dang, the thing about people rescuing other folks. Eddie, I know you're going to jump in here. I'm waiting. Is that they have to risk their life to go and save a life. Like if somebody's struggling fighting a current, another issue. human body has to go out and actually fight that current as well and be strong enough to get them both out of there. So that 11-year-old boy went and risked his life to save her life. Now, some of our show have been lifeguards. Go ahead, Eddie.

I had a double save one time. I got three saves under my belt, but one was a double save, and it was, I was a lifeguard, and this kid jumps in from the diving board, and the mom's like, oh my gosh, she can't swim, so I'm about to jump in. But before I jump in, the mom tries to jump in, save her own child, she can't swim either. So you're telling me you had to save them both. So I had to grab the kid first because that's almost like the like the airplane rules, you know, like put the mask on the kid first. No. You've been putting yourself first. Okay, well then the opposite of the airplane.

You're not on the airplane rules, buddy. Yeah. I jumped in, grab the kid, then save them all. Double save. And you know, my son just wrote a report on this. On your double save? He said, Dad, did you ever have a job when you were a kid? I'm like, let me tell you, son.

Oh, no. That's a great story, though. Yours is a good, Eddie. Okay. Thank you, man. Lunchbox your story's great. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

If you are a founder or a freelancer or the friend who always says, hey, you know what, what if I started that? This is for you. I'm telling you I had nothing to my name. I didn't know a single person in New York. And somehow I'm dressed by Oscar de Laurentia walking down that red carpet. This month, we sit down with entrepreneurs and creators who actually did it, who turned the scary leap into a business, a paycheck, and a life they are proud of.

Direct center of our happiness or our regrets is whether or not we're taking action on the things that matter to us. They're not selfish. They're so important. They actually lead to our greatest contributions because when we're living, fulfilled, we actually show up better everywhere. We lead better.

We're better friends. We're better relationships and collaborators and all those things because we have passion about the things we're doing. If you're trying to build something of your own this year, join us in these conversations that will make you braver and smarter with your money.

We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of

turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Bobby Bones Show now. Judah and the Lion. Judah, your new records out.

Where did you get music as a kid? Has it always been digitally, or did you ever go to a record store your whole life? I mean, I guess... Best Buy? Yeah, I mean, it was like Walmart. So did you ever buy CDs? Yeah, early on. I bought CDs from Target.

But early, early on for you guys. Yeah, I mean, I guess Spotify and everything kind of started. Do you ever have Napster? Yes. We definitely had that Napster. Okay. I just kind of wonder, because everybody now, even within a 10-year gap, has a different place where music started for them.

Yeah. Because for me, as a kid, I'm a little older than you, but it was tapes. Yeah, you buy a tape. And then from tape I went to CD. And that was very much in CD. First two CDs ever, Mariah Carey and ACDC. Same time. Very, very, I'm varied, you know, my interests are buried.

Was that Columbia House? No, no, no. Columbia House had everything. You guys familiar with Columbia House. No. So they would send you like 10 pennies for a penny. And then they'd keep sending you CDs and charge you for real price. It was almost like a scam.

Sounds like how much do you get paid for streaming? That's true. It's the new Columbia house. That's correct. And so then it was Napster and then it's, you know, everything. But where, do you guys make any money at all from streaming? Do you feel it? Or is it all tour now?

Like when you're making your music for your career so you can support yourself, where does the most money come from? Is it touring? The Bibone show. Yeah. Well, we pay nothing. So you guys are screwed. No, I mean, the pandemic honestly changed a lot for a lot of bands.

Touring is so expensive now just with, you know, after the pandemic, everybody kind of being out. But I think for us is like we just, I don't know, like touring has always been like a mechanism for us to do what we like love to do, which is play live music. And a lot of our records kind of warrant themselves to our live show. What about merch then? Is that where you, is that an income streamed strong enough? Honestly, I don't really know how we make money. Fair enough. We just make the music, man.

It just shows up somehow. You just keep making good music. Hey, so what's the difference? Because listen, I'm a fan. I listen to all your music. But every record, it feels like it has like a different message behind it or some deep meaning, or at least in my knowing of you, one record, you're like, I felt super passionate about this at this time.

But the new record is out now. What is the kind of the central theme? So it's about the process of grief. I went through a pretty painful divorce. a lot of just a lot of wild life stuff happening, a couple of people close with me, lost their life to suicide. And I didn't really know how to grieve, to be honest with you. And so after the divorce, it kind of culminated into this like, hey, you have to either like process this or not. And so I learned a lot about the stages of grief, just the Coupla Ross stages, which seemed to

be pretty effective for me. I don't know what you just said, the Cupert Ross stages. Yeah, it's a Cubler-Ross is the author of. of these stages that we chose, which is denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and then acceptance. Did you learn about, were you dealing with it and you weren't familiar, you didn't know how to process it,

but then you learned about this and then it helped? Correct, yeah, and, and, because I was, I mean, I grew up an athlete, so I got, I wanted, like, give me a plan or a system to kind of heal my broken heart, essentially, and nothing was really working. And so I think once we kind of dove into the reality of like getting to the forgiveness and acceptance portion of what was kind of going on in my story.

I think that that was when I really, as we were writing the record, really began to heal and kind of unfold, unpack when I was in denial, didn't even know it, when I had these angered spouts and I'm not really good at anger, you know. And so like learning how to really accept all these emotions that are happening at once was, you know, was really difficult for me. So getting the right of this record proved to be pretty healing. Did you feel like then as you're writing it, even the writing process was a bit different or vulnerable or darker

since this is definitely a difficult subject just in general? I mean, it's hard to go back to those places, to be honest with you. I mean, we would do like our song floating in the night, which is in the anger section. So we wrote like a few songs per stage. And like even going to doing like vocal takes or floating in the night, like I found myself angry again, angry about what was going on. but it happened like a few years back.

So I think there's three different kind of phases for us when we make music. And it's almost like a mourning or a grieving. It's like writing it is healing, recording it, comes with a lot of emotions. And then the aftermath of it is like releasing it and playing it live with people that are connecting. So I feel like in a lot of ways,

that's just how artists heal. If you guys don't mind, I would love to hear floating in the night now. You guys don't do that? Let's do it. All right, here they are, Judah and the Lion. The new records out today. Here is Floating in the Night.

Two things. One, I'm assuming that's in the anger part. That is in the anger part. Yeah. Dude, that is extremely vulnerable. You know, and that, you know, it's awesome to hear because a lot of people will relate, but also it's very difficult to do, especially early, because it's like, here are my guts.

Have a look at them, everybody. You know, so I applaud you for that. I mean, the stuff that connects more than you, is whenever you felt like maybe this is too vulnerable. And then people go, I felt that too. So, man, that is awesome. On the Bobby Bones Show now. Judah and the Lion.

They have a new record out. It's called The Process, which is out now. And I'm assuming the process is the process of grief, right? Yes. But, you know, the record feels like happy. It's still hopeful. No chance. Yeah.

Are there a happy songs on the record? Yeah, there's happy songs. Maybe the end. And the acceptance section. There's this undertone of hope. Don't you worry. I'm not saying not hopeful. There's a lot of hope and sadness.

I've had it, but happy I did not expect after the experience we just had. I mean, why don't we just get to the second song, if you guys are good with that? Because I have a lot of questions. Long Dark Night. What part is this of the album? This starts the Acceptance section. I like the Acceptance. I feel like Long Dark Night.

Like maybe that was going to be. The title doesn't seem happy, though. That's all I'm saying. long dark night, Judah in the Lion in studio right now. That was a little happier. I'm honest with you. That was a little happier. Judah in the Lion in studio.

Amy, did you go watch them with Need to Breathe? I did, yeah, and it was amazing. Yeah, so good. And I'm particularly intrigued by this album and the concept behind it because some people don't know even the Kula Rosser have that, but this is a way for them to have it

and you provided a roadmap where they can start on the journey from song one to song, what, 20? 19, to song 19. But also to know that grief, yes, there's an order to the stages, but we can go in and out of them at any given time. And so for them to know that like, oh, I can listen to these particular songs now, but and make it to acceptance.

But hey, you might have to go back to the anger part again or the denial part. Well, and that's what, for me, that's what was so frustrating is I was like looking for this step to step program to heal this broken heart. And the truth about acceptance is is being able to hold all those at once. Because, you know, the first song, denial is about, like, it's not linear. You know, you're going to wake up some days

and you're going to be angry. You're going to wake up some days. You know, acceptance is about holding it all these emotions and saying, hey, I can hold these emotions and be okay with it and move forward. Yeah, I think it's beautiful. The double album, repressions for me when you repress all thoughts and just hold it.

And then let it manifest itself physically in some way. So repression, that's my version. Yeah. I had chronic back pain for three years because of that. Okay, well, what happened there? So did you know that if you psychologically got yourself better, your physical body would get better? Or did it just happen as a product? And you went, oh, now that makes sense.

It was, I mean, I really got into like the body keeps the score and the body knows the way. And ironically, mine and Brian's both of our moms are therapists and counselors. My aunt is a professor at Tennessee Tech for the same thing. So we had a lot of great people in our corner because me and Brian are not experts on this at all. We're storytellers. We love telling stories. But I think having those educated people to kind of lean on was super important. So as far as my back pain goes, it was like very obvious after this week where I really kind of dove into anger, screaming in pillows, like, you know, punching stuff that's more constructive, but like just letting out all of this rage that I had inside of.

me. That was when at Foley was able to kind of get to the healing. Anytime you guys put anything new out, you're always welcome to come by. It's kind of the standing role with you guys. And floating in the night, which played earlier, is that like the current single that you guys put out on? Is there a single year? So long dark night is the focus track for the record. And floating in the night is actually doing super well kind of organically right now, which has been super fun to watch. People really connect to that song. That's called the process. And I got your whole tour schedule here. I'm going to come to all of them.

Is that cool? We would love that. Okay, cool, cool. Jude and the Lion. Oh, yeah. And we got a little gift for you, you guys. I'm awkward with this. It's not that big of a deal, but.

I need it to be a big deal and I need to be awkward. So go ahead. That's a little baggy of something. This one's for the man himself. Let me say that as you hand this. Thank you. I'm awkward with the gifts. So they're out with the Need to Breathe on the Caves World Tour.

Go to Judah and the Lion.com. And then their headlining tour kicks off October 4th. The Process Tour. Same thing. Judah and the Lion. And they're all in all the cities that we're in here. Okay. Well, we get gifts too.

Oh, it's, thank you. We got some vinyl. This is good. Say, this is actually a need because I wear you guys' other hat. Thank you, man. All the time and I only have a black one. Did you guys know that? You see me wearing your hat all the time?

Yeah. Yeah, we know. And I only have a black one. So now, oh, it's got my name on it. Look at this. Oh, yeah. Wow. So now people can be like, oh, I like your hat, but I hate you.

That's you? I hate your show. No, thank you. Thank you very much. This logo, like, where did this come from? So that kind of originated from our record, which is the first time you had us on, pep talks that we got to talk about. And then it kind of became like our bands kind of symbol. Everybody always asks, hey, what's that logo? And I'm like, I made it up. I don't. I really, I say you know. But no, it's one of my favorite hats. So I appreciate you getting ready. Yeah. As you've worn it, we've had some of our fans, we're like, Bobby Bones is rocking your hat. Like, that's sick.

Yeah, you guys went to a whole new level. level of thing. There's a little bit of manipulation in there too for us. And here you go. I got you a free tattoo session with he's going to redo Bobby Bones as my homeboy in your neck. Okay. I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Jude in the Lion, the process is the record. Good to see you guys. Good to you. Thanks for having us on. Go see him on the road. It is an amazing live show. And there they are. Jude in the line. Nice job. Thanks, y'all. On the phone, we have Becky in Iowa. I had a crazy migraine I was talking about on the show. I don't know there was a migraine, but listeners assigned it as a migraine.

I was just throwing up. My head was killing me. And so it concerned me a little bit because I don't want to be migraine guy, meaning I don't want to just get migraines because that's, it was miserable. So Becky, what do you want to say? This happened to me on my wedding day. I woke up with a headache, didn't think too much about it. And as the morning went on, it got worse and worse and worse to where it felt like somebody

was smacking my head with a bad. baseball bat. Been there, yeah. It ended up being an aneurism. Okay, I'll be doing this. Oh, my goodness. That's for sure what it was. They had to fly me to the hospital to take care of it.

The fact that I went to work the next day, an aneurysm? What do you got to say now? You're a fighter, man. Or you're dying. It's terrible because you probably still need to get it addressed. Do you ever wonder, though, what your pain tolerance really is compared to others, meaning there's no way to fill anybody else's pain tolerance. Like, I wonder if my wife or lunchbox or Morgan would have had the same headache,

had they been like me like, I can't even get comfortable, it hurts. Or are they just like, oh man, this sucks and just took some medicine? Or would they be even worse? Would they have gone to the hospital? Like, we can't. There are two things we can't tell. One, another person's pain tolerance. And two, we can't really compare having a baby versus getting kicked in the nuts.

Both could be equally as painful. Yeah, because you can't react. But I don't think that they are. But no one ever know. That is very true. You don't know. No one ever knows. True.

So I'm going to leave that for you guys. I appreciate that call, Becky. I don't think I had an aneurysm. I didn't, but now I might have. I fought it. What? I don't think that's possible. No, no, no.

I think I fought a brain an interview. That's awesome, man. Thank you. Dang. I feel pretty good. You're the man. I'm the man. Let's go.

The back. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So the five second rule with food on the floor has always been a little bit controversial because either people go by it or they don't. And it's like, well, what do doctors think? And there's a doctor going viral on TikTok saying, no, the five second rule, don't eat food if it's fallen on the floor. People just want to eat their food they dropped.

That's the only reason there was even a mention of a five second rule. Correct. I don't think anybody in their right mind would think that's okay if they really were debating if it were still safe or not. I remember like guys in high school like, just pick it up, dude, five second rule. Yeah, that's just because you still want to eat it, and you don't mind how disgusting or germ-filled it is. Yeah, but part of what we were told,

and if you want to believe it, is like, oh, it takes a few seconds for germs to actually attach to the food so you're good. But nobody's smart ever believed that, I don't think. Well, we believe a lot of things that we hear is kids. But not the five-second rule, like it'll look one. Like the germs, like, give me five seconds, and I'll get on that. It's like, and also, if it's like wet or damp or any of that food, it hits, it's immediately.

Gross, gross, gross. But this doctor is saying that not all floor surfaces, are created equal, so there are some that are safer than others. Pretty much if it falls on like a tile floor, no dice. Don't eat it. It's 99% covered in bacteria and salmonella can live on floors for up to four weeks.

Also, just because it's a floor doesn't mean it's disgusting, but just because it's a counter doesn't mean it's not. It could fall on the counter. It could be any surface. Oh, I even off the counter. Like, just off the counter. I like put my toasts on there. As long as it's clean first. But I wipe my counter is a lot. And the bottom of your feet don't touch your counter unless you're doing like... But my cat does.

That's true. Unless you're doing like, what's the movie where they're at the bar? They get on the bar. Unless you're going coyote ugly at your house. Wood surfaces, like you got a 50% chance of food staying on the floor. And then carpet. Less than 1% of bacteria transfers instantly. So carpet's your best bet.

But then you're going to get little fuzzies on your food. Yeah. The best bet is don't drop your food. And if you do, move on to the next unless you're willing to sacrifice for the food, which I'm willing to sacrifice for the food. most of the time. I'll be honest. All right, what else? A new survey found that a quarter of people between the ages 18 and 34 say they never answer their phone, ever. If they get a phone call, it doesn't matter who it is. Like even if it's a family member, they don't answer and they

instantly text the person and say, hey, what's up? So I would think that these people would have a phone call, but they won't answer it without knowing what it's about. Exactly. Yeah, oh, I'm on that. But you're not 18 to 34. But I'm on that. I'm the whatever percentage of people who just, if you were ahead of this. Don't. I need, if you're, we're going to talk on the phone, I need either a text leading and going, hey, I'm going to call you, it's about this. Or after I missed the call, hey, it was me.

I was calling to do this. Otherwise, what am I going to do? Answer and be trapped on the phone for 30 minutes? Yeah. It's the worst. Trapped. I mean, just, you are trapping yourself if you don't find a way to just be like, okay, hey, got to go.

Sometimes you're talking to somebody and then I'll stop talking. Oh, I wonder who that is. I don't know who that is. All right, go ahead. Parker McCollum is a huge John Mayer fan. Like so much so he admits to spending hours in front of the mirror like playing guitar, trying to write something that John would approve of or be like John. But then he had the opportunity to meet John and he said no.

And he said it's because he's such a huge fan that he doesn't want to know him. Because, you know, what if something changes in mind of how he thinks John is? I used to feel that way. And I guess I still do a little bit. But most of the time when I've met people that I really looked up to or thought were cool, They ended up being pretty cool most of the time. But I guess I don't have the expectation as an adult now because I do realize some people just have bad days.

Some people sometimes are just in bad moods or sick. Some people just are duches. That's part of it too. But for the most part, everybody I've ever met that I was like, I cannot wait to meet this person. They've been really cool. Even John Mayer. Like we had a brief friendship fling for like eight months where we'd hang out.

But you still won't meet David Letterman. I would if he'd let me. That's why I haven't done. He's done it. Yeah. Is he still hiding? No, he does. He has interviews and stuff. Yeah, I've seen him on a few things. Yeah, yeah, he won't let me. He's like, not him. Here's all the people I will talk to. We're not going to do that guy, though. He's a little obsessed. All right, go ahead.

I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of store. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. They're home there's something good. So Tim, he's hanging out with his son in North Carolina. They're watching a movie. It's late at night. And his son goes, Dad, you want to order a pizza? He says, all right, let's order a pizza.

They call the pizza place. They wait for it to come. Nothing. Nothing. They wait for almost like an hour. Then finally the doorbell rings. All right. Pizza's here.

Open it up. It's a cop. It's not even the pizza guy. The cop goes, did you order a pizza? They're like, yeah, what's going on here? Well, yeah, yeah, apparently the pizza guy, he got pulled over. He had a warrant for his arrest. And so he got arrested.

But the cop, he didn't stop there. He said, you know what? Where was this pizza going? He gave him the address. And the cop, he got arrested. delivered the pizza. I love that. How cool is that? Those are fun videos when the cop shows up on the door can. So if you tip on the app, does the guy in jail get the money? Probably. What is that for commissary? Is that what?

Yeah, you can use that for commissary or bond or whatever else. That's cool the cop. The cop probably knows what it's like to don't have your food delivered when you're sitting there waiting. Right. Starving, ready for your food to be delivered. There's one video I keep seeing a lot and I can't, I guess it was, I don't know, it was fast food somewhere and the cop. She opens the door and She's like, what are you doing here? And he's like, your Uber eats guy got arrested. Here's your food. And I see that clip a lot.

It's funny. Good job. Yeah, I like that. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of IHeartMedia, and I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing.
