Hey, we're back. Come on, Bobby. Transmitting. Hey, we're back.

Hope you guys had a good weekend. Morning, studio. Morning. All right, let's go around the room because I have a question. We'll do a Monday. Get to know what's the weirdest item you keep by your bed. That's going to be the question. As always, I'll answer first.

That's the only one that knows the question. To give you guessing. Time to think. Mine is probably a very silky, soft sleep mask. My eyes, we have curtain issues. And so light comes in, so I wear a real satin sleep mask over my eyes so I can sleep. Oh. At first it was uncomfortable because just wearing something on your head.

And you would think of as my wife's, but no, it's me. We both wear something, but she can actually sleep with a little light. She's fine. But mine is definitely the silkyer, the softer of this. the two. Interesting. So if you came, you'd see a retainer, you'd see a sleep mask, and have one of those chargers that you can lay your phone on, your AirPods on, and Apple Watch. It's got three little hubs. That's all on my bedside table there. I bet that looks weird. Just mostly a sleep mask in the retainer. But yes. Eddie. Okay, so I have a little screwdriver. And I know it sounds weird.

Why would you have a little screwdriver? But my four-year-old son, he locks all the doors in our house. He just likes to lock them and shut them. That's funny. And this little screwdriver is what I used to open them back up. But if you walked into my nightstand and saw a little screwdriver, you'd be like, that's weird. Flashbox? I don't consider it weird. You guys may. It's a little comma sutra book.

A what? Camasutra. What is that? No, don't. I can't believe. He's such an idiot. He's such an idiot. Is that where you fold the paper?

He says, no, no, no, no. That's origami. Okay. Eddie Lee. Yeah. lunchtime. They want me, look it up. Look it up.

Don't look it up. What do you mean? It doesn't sound, man. There's no way he calls it that. Spell it for me lunch. This is the stupid thing I've ever heard. It's so funny. K-A-M-A-S-U.

Are you making up the spelling? Because I don't know how to spell it. No. Because it's funny if he knows how to spell it, then he knows he sees it. Yeah. Kamasutra. Ancient Indian text. Oh.

Oh. Okay. You use this? I'm so stupid. I can send you a picture. No, I'm good. Of the book or? Of the book.

Okay. Okay. Amy, what's the weirdest thing by your bed? Well, I don't have a nightstand right now. Oh, no. He took both of them? He didn't even leave yours? That's not funny.

Oh, man. I'm picturing. I'm picturing. He's like, plays just a mattress in the floor. That's it. Terrible. No, mattress firm did hook me up with a bed frame. Good.

Oh, man. So, but because I got a king, there's so much space. So I have stuff that lays over on the site. And I've got like a book with my little, I got one of those reading lamps that clips on the book. Those are cool. It's wire so you can move it around. And the light that's on it is the amber color. So it doesn't mess with my melatonin production or whatever that's supposed to do.

So. So you're going to say the book lamp? Yeah, but it's handy. We weren't hating on it. You don't need a butt. Yeah, it's good, Amy. We like it. Yeah, we like it.

All right, there you go. The fact that he spelled it so quickly. I know. It means he uses it a lot. It means... Eddie goes, is that origami? Is that where you fold the paper? We're really thought that's what it.

Well, we're back. We're back, everybody. Hey, we're glad to be back, and now let's get into the mailbag. and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I had a coworker recently shared their concerns for my hygiene. She told me I smell bad.

That everywhere I go, people say I smell bad. The thing is, I know I smell bad. It's my biggest insecurity, and I feel hurt, and I understand where they're coming from, but physically I can't fix it. I've tried lots of deodorants. I wear perfume, but that smells too strong. I shower every day.

What should I do, question mark? Signed, ashamed of my B.O. Dang, I feel bad for her because she knows. It's not as if, and we've had this discussion before where there's an employee that's not washing their butt or putting on deodorant. Like, they know. I mean, I think that's a doctor thing. Yeah, it's a medical thing, right? It could be the food you're reading.

And again, I'm a doctor, but I'm of letters. Right, right. Not a doctorate. But there's a lot of things, like fundamental things that you're doing that's not wrong, but it's probably different than everybody else is doing. I hate that for you. that stinks that well that's lunch lunch

no Bobby did that on purpose no I did it no way it's unfortunate that it's had to come to this yeah it's like there's a a pH level situation happening yeah but even the

coworker having to come up and maybe the coworker was doing it because the other people nominated her to do it and she was just but I think the conversation is to that coworker hey thank you for sharing that

this is a medical problem I'm really sorry I've tried a lot of different things. So if I am really strong, if I come in smelling really strong of brute, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's because I'm trying to cover it up and I'm going to the doctor. And then I think it's just trying to figure out what the problem is. Can you do too much perfume?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I used to work with a guy. I had a lot of, yeah. Nobody here does too much. Sometimes Ray is very strong because he uses axe. What is your, what is your situation?

Yeah, spice bomb. Yeah, spice bomb. Oh. I mean, it's such a good go-to. I've done it for years. Do you do it every day? Yeah, but it's just a mist. I'm not actually, you know, rocking it all over my neck and clothes.

I'm walking just through just a small little spray. But when you were younger and you would go to the club, would you clone up? Yeah, that's when Axe was huge. And I mean, me and my buddy, we would just stay inside by and we'd drill each other. I'd hit him, hit him. That's funny. Amy, what do you say to ashamed of my B.O? Yeah, I feel for you.

And I think that if you have access, to seeking medical opinions and tips and tricks and all the things, it might be something, there might be something topical or a body wash that is going to be more inclined to help you out that is prescribed. And if you get on Google, there's a lot of good information. There's a lot of bad information too, but there's a lot of stuff you can Google and research. Mayo Clinic has a lot of stuff that you can read about and try to figure it out.

We feel bad for you. Sorry you have to deal with this, but I think if you put some time and effort into it, you can fix it. But yeah, too, you mentioned food. I mean, I have no idea if your body's having a reaction to something or where exactly the smells are coming from, but that's always a factor. We know where the smells are coming from for certain folks here. Sure. Who? You? Where? Your butt. Bottom. Bottom half of you. Yes. It's a constant line. All right, thank you for that email. Good luck. Let us know what you decide to do or if we can help it anyway. All right, that's the mailbag. We got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about to

Close Bobby Feltag. Eddie came on this show and said, Hey, I have a confession. I'm going to go watch Counting Crows with somebody else. Timmy. And Amy, this kind of hurt my feelings. Why?

Oh, because y'all do Counting Crows together. It's your thing. Forever. We've done it many times. It's like how we bonded initially, music, counting crows. The last time they're here,

Eddie and I went to the show. It was amazing, man. We do. We repeat, like, old live albums. Like, we have little inside jokes. And all of a sudden he comes and goes, hey, I'm going to go with somebody else. But that's not how I said it.

It's out of my control, man. My wife has friends and they said, hey, we would like to go as a couple if you guys would like to come. And my wife already kind of committed to that. Your story's getting a little softer since the last time you told it. Look, dude, I felt bad. I'm cheating on you. Right. And now I'm going to cheat on you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. And I already have it. And I figured out what I'm going to do to cheat on you. And I'm just letting you know, it ain't going to feel good. You're cheating on me maliciously. And that's not how you, that's not nice. It's revenge cheat. That's what happens.

You cheat, you get cheated on. So when do you find out? Eye for an eye. I mean, I know what it is. Right. So when do you share? Well, I mean, I could share right now. Yeah, let's do it.

But I think a better part of the cheating is to not tell him yet and make them wonder about. No, let's get it out of the way. What if I just tell one person in that person's lunchbox? Yeah. Let's go. That's worse than just cheating on it. Let's go. You go right it down?

Don't tell them. Don't tell them. Don't tell him. Don't tell me. Bones, bones, bones. Right down. I cheated on you and I came on the show and told you. Like man to man, face to face.

I cheated. He's telling me man to man. Lunchbox is back here standing behind me. Okay, hold on a second. My handwriting is pretty terrible. What are you doing? That's taking. Yeah, I know if that says.

Ha! Hold on. Taking. He's taking someone. So far, can you read this? Yeah, who are you taking? Hold on. Dallas Cowboys versus the...

And, hold on. There's... I mean, Amy, my mind's going crazy right now. Oh, my gosh, a golf trip with all the Dallas Cowboys. No, no. Oh, hey, cowboys. Pearl Jam is going to be there too. Okay, so far to the...

Yeah! Okay, and here's... Oh, Lord! He's playing the Masters. Wait, wait, this is only one event, right? Don't worry about what's up. You don't know what he's doing. Ah!

Got it. You're going to Hawaii. Got it. To play golf. What is it? Consider yourself cheated on. You're going to Hawaii to play golf with the Dallas Cowboys and Pearl Jam. That's the...

Oh, man. The payback would be all of that. And you're going to go deep sea fishing while you're out there. Oh, gosh. With everyone. Eddie, I don't think you... Don't worry about it. What do you mean?

Nothing to worry about? No, nothing to worry about me. Okay. So it's not going to really hurt me? I mean, I just don't want to ruin your months and years ahead. What do you mean? So don't think about it. It's years.

Hey, it is what it is, you know? Yeah, yeah, years. If you want to cheat, let's cheat, baby. This isn't my fault, dude. My wife, like, she made these plans. That's not how you told the story initially. You didn't say it was out of my control. Well, when your wife says, hey, we're going to do something.

What do you say? You also can say, hey, why don't we invite Bobby Caitlin? I thought about that. I thought about that. But then the people that invited us are going to be like, well, well, that's our plan. Well, I'm going to say this. I'll be cheating on you soon. And it's going to be.

That's not how you cheat. Like, how soon are you going to cheat on him? Next month. When are you cheating on Bobby? When is the one's the show? You don't even know. Let me say this. You can go to 10,000 shows.

You only do this once. Once in a lifetime? You're going to Hawaii. But that would be fun to me. I wouldn't want to go to Hawaii. I'm just thinking about me. So we'll leave it there one day. The only person that knows is lunch rocks.

And I figured that would drive you the craziest if he knew. You're going to crash my playa? No. Hey, maybe he's a full party. Hey, maybe he's invested in a chicken business. No. What's I got to do with anything? Don't worry about it.

Eddie, I'll be cheating back. I don't like this, one bit. There you go. So you're going to tell us after it happens or? No, I'm just going to let me sit on it for a minute. You're going to tell me before it happens. Yeah, because I won't, or maybe not. Maybe I just post it doing it and have you be like, oh.

And he'll know. Yeah. It's like. That's terrible. I know. Or is it? Finding out someone's cheating on you through like Instagram. Well, you know I'm cheating.

You just don't know how. Hey, keep one eye open, buddy. Keep one eye over. It's not fair, man. It's going to feel good. It's not. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. And then we'll be even.

Then we will be even, but I'll be cheating on you and I can't wait. Hey, man, this isn't, this is how we take care of this. That's all we're going to do. We're going to move on with life right now. move on in the next segment. But Lunchbox knows my secret. That's even worse. Told this guy.

Thank you. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.

We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents

and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.

And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's time for the good news. Oh, it's Bobby. Tell me something good.

There's a guy from Utah, and he wanted to go on this 45-mile-long West Coast Trail, Vancouver Island, wanted to hike it, been waiting forever, and saving his money. He finally gets up there. He flies up. He's like, all right, let's go. Well, they lost all of his stuff. Lost his luggage. Lost his gear. You don't have luggage.

You don't have gear. you can't really go walk the wilderness. And so he was like, I'm not going to be able to do this. And he had talked to other people in a Facebook group because they were all going to go up and meet and do it together. And he's like, I guess I will not be able to join you because they lost all my stuff. So all his buddies that he really didn't know, he only talked to him on my Facebook. They went, no, we got you. So they, one, raised a bunch of money and then took like extra tents, backpacks.

And so in the end, he had all of his, all their stuff. And he got to go on the hike with him. They never said they found a stuff, though. That's the crazy plan. Like you never got it back? I didn't say anything about that. But like all these people that are up there hiking, like supply them with sleeping bags,

backpacks, tents, poles, money for the multi-hiking day trip. So they didn't know them. They didn't have to do that. I liked it. But where do bags go? Pergatory. Huh?

Yeah, where do they go? There's a bag purgatory? Feels like it sometimes. No, don't they like, if you don't pick up your bag, at least they lost it. I know. That's what I'm saying. Where could it go? And then if they find it in some faraway airport,

they have a tracking number. So. But then couldn't they, if you were like being shady and you saw a bag, you know like, I bet there's some cool stuff in that. Can you just like hide it somewhere? And after a while when it's not found, just take it home? Yeah, just tossing the bushes, come back a couple days later. I mean, bushes is interesting.

Didn't think about that. As I was reading the stores, whatever happened to the bag, you never updated it. How do they lose the bags? Like, dude, I don't know. Listen, if you think about it the other way, how do they even get us our bags? Well, that's a great question. It's a code. I don't know how radio works.

Right. No, it is fascinating. when you look at all those bags that are out there on the runway with all these carts and their plane switches. I think about FedEx. Yes, ma'am. How does a FedEx? And how do they get it to a small town? And how do they get it to you in one night?

Right. That is baffling. It really is. Like how do they get it from- How can you get to New York in one night? No, no. Yeah, that's really the question. No, no, it's easier for a person to get to New York.

Because you're going direct. You're going direct. A package has, you have to drop it off somewhere. They have to drive it to the airport, put it on a plane, get it in a plane, get it in a car, you know, they have to transfer it from a little... Well, you have to get out of your car, walk to the airport, get in the plane. No, no, FedEx's not the security.

Yeah, put your bag through them. Kind of the same concept. But let's say I order something. It's logistics. How they get it. How it's cool is they have it so streamlined. It can go to that hub to that hub and they have people going in and out so fast. Like, right. The people that come up with that, there, it's... I mean...

Because it doesn't just leave the airport on the FedEx plane and go straight to your house. It has to go somewhere else, somewhere else, boom, and it's there at 8 a.m. But you don't leave your bed and go right to New York. You leave your bed and go to your closet and get your clothes. You get your suitcase. You go to the car. You drive the car to the airport.

The airport, you walk to your gate. It's the same thing. And when you land, you don't go straight to the hotel. It's absolutely different. No, it is the same thing. If you were a package... No, if I was a package, I could literally... I was literally doing a story about a guy.

I got all his gear back. But no, but it's the same thing. It's the same thing. It's not. It's totally different. It's absolutely different. Absolutely different. Because I can go straight from my bedroom to the airport.

airport, airport, and I'm in the next city. Because you've got to make other stops to your car. No, no. Your car stopping at stop. Roads to turn it, take a left, it's that strange. When you get to the airport, you check the computer. What gate am I at? No, you guys are so stupid.

Those are all the same things is like stops along the way. You guys are so stupid. A red light is not the same thing. Is a package that I ordered offline going from wherever it is at best line or online. It is the same. It is not the same. You're just not wrapped up. No.

You're not in a box. Oh, my God, you guys are so stupid. I cannot believe. We're stupid. I cannot believe you guys think us like. It's the exact same principle. It is not the exact same principle. Wait, did I tell you about the thing I heard about Marconi?

Markoni or Marconi? What is that? What is that? He's the inventor of radio. Oh, yeah, I heard of them. Okay, so this is a punchbox that made me think of this is acting all that crazy. When apparently, I don't know if this is true, whenever he, In vintage radio.

Why did she always do this? There we go. She leads every story with Did I tell you about and then goes, this could be a lie. Well, I heard that whenever he was like telling his friends, like, hey, I figured out how to, you know,

send things through the air like that. Like transmissions? Yes. This friends checked him into a mental institution because he's like, no, no, really. It works. Like, checked us out. I bet that's crazy, man.

And that, that, so lunchbox is made me to go out. Because you thought lunchbox was crazy right then. And then you'd check him in somewhere. No, he thinks you're crazy for saying what you're saying and how it's working. You're saying that a human getting on a plane is the same thing as ordering something off the internet. And a package is getting to you within six hours. Hold on. You said, how do I get a package overnight?

And I said the same way you would get somewhere overnight. Same thing. I hate how stupid you guys are. It's going to give me a headache. It's going to wrap it. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's award the Employee of the Month award.

Now, we're in July now, but let's award it for June. We had a holiday there, so you guys ready to name the chant? Ready! You got a chance to win some money. Only the three finalists will read their speeches. All right. So you get a chance to win cash or self-promotion or block someone from contention. The last employee of the month went to Amy.

So, Amy, good job. Amy. Now, you know, maybe you'll repeat. Maybe you'll pass your crown over. All right, the finalists for Employee of the Month are. And I'll read your name and you read your name. your speech. Okay. Lunchbox.

That's me. Oh, my goodness, guys. All right, here we go. Oh, you already acting? Yeah. Oh, got it. Yeah. Okay, good. Congrats to Eddie on getting fit. Our next step is getting him off Bobby's What the, Amy lost the bed, table, washer and dryer and the divorce. If she wins this, he'll also take it, which would be much worse.

Morgan had a sketchy Uber ride where she thought she was going, bye-bye. And if you let her drive you, you're lucky you not to die. Abby might need to try love is blind or married at first sight. Science ranked her last, which we all agree is right. Thank you. What's the point of that story? His speeches just making fun of people.

And secondly, I think we have to bleep out the word of him, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he didn't even rhyme wash and divorce or something. No, it said divorce, worse. Let him do it. What? I said, dryer in the divorce. if she wins this he'll all

if she wins he'll also take this which would be much worse divorce divorce worse just do the words though divorce worse but also your pattern wasn't exactly it doesn't matter I just had to fit that in man

because that was all stuff that happened in the last month yeah the two words that rhymed were divorce and worse we also were told doesn't have to be like why you're supposed to win or something there's no rules on what the speech has to be Some of the stuff lunchboxes did to be in the finals.

He washed his hands with yet another celebrity, Adam Duritz. He has a goal to wash more hands. He picked off and dropped off Richard Marks in one of the most awkward segments of all time. That was great. He was exposed for not having his own phone bill. Ooh. I could not stop laughing for days when he confused Gumbi with Gandhi, although I don't think that the credit should be given to him. That's my, I brought us at table.

Well, no, no, you just thought Gumbi and Gandhi were the same person. Yeah. Yeah. And then what we held against him. He made the call on switching the $20 tickets to $50 tickets. Oh my gosh. And we lost all that money. But it extended it. I mean, we kept winning and winning and winning and winning.

I mean, it was great. We didn't. Okay. Next up. I mean, was that not a good opening line to my speech, though? No. That nailed it. Can I say it again?

No. Next up. The next finalist is Abby. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Abby, read your speech. Ray hit it.

You know, need I say more? Need I say more? What are you saying? Richard Marks, an absolute legend, comes in to the studio. Sorry, I'm distracted. What's happening? What I mean? Go ahead.

That was your one thing you did. Anyway, also I came in close second in easy trivia. And I now have emotional damage from Scoobo Steve's fit. So, yes, I should win for all of the above reasons. I got distracted by Richard Marks's voice. Hey, can someone please help her with speech writing? Did you hear your worst, Morris? I mean, at least I got it out.

Yeah, okay. I mean, she got two words out and was like, oh, well, she puked all over herself. Got distracted. Abby, trying to talk. Single-handily landed Richard Marks in the studio. Yeah, that was amazing. That was really cool. It'd be a great interview of performance.

She also told us about her worst day at work where she had to call the cops because she thought the guy was going to kill someone here in the building. Oh, yeah. Which was crazy. She won in Blind Karaoke Best Line Dancing. She's been a big help behind the scenes. and I tell you that symmetrical face segment was tough she took it like a champ she took it like a champ

I didn't like that segment Abby but thank you congratulations to making the finals thank you yes and finally the last person Amy you're on the finals let's go can you repeat a champion give us your speech I followed the rules okay I'm the most recent recipient of Employer of the Month

for the show so I'm okay with someone else giving this recognition a go. However, we have to make speeches on why we should win, so I guess I'll have to dig from within. Maybe I sum things up with the creation of Amy all the time. That way I can be done with this rhyme. But you didn't create Amy all the time, I did. Nice. And I just, and I sang Amy, I created even the Amy on.

And because you were sick, too. But you miss like half a month. You're like out a lot. I mean, I don't know. That's kind of weird. It was. She kind of took herself down. I know because like I don't, this is the part that makes me so uncomfortable.

You don't want to win? This part makes me so. Did you say you were removing yourself in the speech from it? Amy removed herself? She's out. I'm okay. Eddie, you're now a finalist, Eddie. Eddie, you're now a finalist.

Eddie, you read your speech. What's funny Amy brought this up. Bobby and Amy went down with a sickness. And someone had to carry the show. And that was me pretty much. So I sacrificed my presence on the show, too, by letting Amy win easy trivia. I fed the, I fed the crew the best smoked chicken in the world. And I introduced to you guys to one of the greatest films in movie history, Rope.

Thank you guys for considering me for this award. So, Eddie, I just did that to be funny. You weren't in it. You actually were held back. You made me read all this? Because you made us watch Rope and you admitted to cheating on me both. And that was what kept you out of this one. So you just wasted all my time.

Well, she backed out. Interesting. You were just sitting there. So I just went to you. And Amy, you also made the finals, but you didn't win. Did not win. Well, I didn't even make the finals. Well, a couple things.

You did win easy trivia. Came back from massive behind. You've opened up a lot and there's been a lot of laughs because you have been sharing pretty vulnerably about the divorce and like he took a fork and then he took a spoon and then all a sudden you're eating your fingers. You know, it's tough. And lunchbox brought the greatest game and show history. But you did miss a month for getting sick, but I can't penalize you for that.

Two days. It just happens. Yeah. Okay. So it's either going to be Abby. Your lunchbox is our winner. And again, you can spin the wheel. You can eliminate somebody.

whatever you want. The winner of employee of the month. Here on the Bobby Bone show. It has to be between these two at all. What a war. I mean, I like it for them because I, but they're both deserving of being up for the month. They are. That's what I'm

saying, but like, the winner is. Lunchbox is just, oh gosh. Abby, what a month for you. You are the winner of Employee of the Month. Thank you. What do you want to say to everybody out there? All the haters and doubters, aka Lunchbox. Lunchbox. I'm just kidding. I mean, if you really think you deserve

employee the month. I do this month actually. That's true. Abby, do you want to spend the wheel? Do you want self-promotion or do you want to block someone from contention for three months? That block is looking a little. For three months. That's sounding. I'm just kidding. I can't do that again. That was mean.

I've already done it. Four months. Four months. Four months? Do it, Abby. Do it. Rest of the year. Happy, do it. Negotiating the prize. Abby, what are you going to do? You got three months block. You got self-promotion or the wheel of cash. I can't block. I can't do that. And I feel like the wheel is going to be like a dollar.

I'll just do a promotion. Okay, then you can do it now or you can save it when you have a show or something? Yeah, I'll save it. You want to save your promotion to only have a gig or something? We'll forward it to something else. Abby will punt. Let's see what you would have got on the money. Let's spend that wheel.

It's going to be 100 now that I didn't pick it. Abby, you would have got $20. Oh, dang. Abby, you're the employee of the month's self-promotion. You'll get whenever you want it. Thank you. A win is a win. A win is a win.

I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way,

this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

One week I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told,

and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, Follow at Clifford and a TikTok podcast network on TikTok.

You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need

to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable. I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what?

Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, You got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to 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. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I lunchbox wanted to talk to us about saving money. You want to help our listener save money? Okay. So it's a save money hack with LB.

What do you have over there? Guys, I was doing some research, and there's a policy at Target. If you have clothes that are target brand, adult, kid, whatever, like the kid brand is cat and jack. You can wear it for 364 days and take it back and you get your money back. You have one year to return it. Really? My kids have been wearing shoes since January. Guess what I just did?

I took it back. They had clothes. They had pants that have holes in the knee. They've been wearing for eight months. Guess what I just did? Took it back. But that's the reason is that they don't want you to, they don't want you to wear it for 364 and bring it back.

They're saying you have basically if you don't wear it. No, they are saying worn, stained, you outgrow it. You can bring it back. Yeah, explain this to me. Why would they want to do that? I don't know. They're banking on most people. not bringing it back, but people being like, oh, if I could bring this back if I need to,

but then they end up buying and they never bring it back. But can you get a bigger size? You can get a bigger size. They're supposed to give you store credit. These people gave me straight back to the credit card. Oh, wow. I mean, I got a 100% refund. I brought four bags of clothes into that sucker.

Boom, right on the counter, said, is this real? I took it back. And you got a red. And this isn't shady? This is not shady. I am talking. Is it not shady like you go to, like they would always think you take anything back to Northstrom. They take it back.

So you take an old car tire back and they'd be like, we'll give it. But it's kind of shady because you're getting one over on the system. Right. No, I don't think it's shady at all. I am telling you, these pants have been worn. They got holes in the knee. They have stains on their shirts because they're kids. And when they eat, they're messy.

We have a clip. And this is me. What did I do, guys? Check that. There you go. You're going to look at me like I'm crazy, but I saw a video on the internet. And the internet doesn't lie, right? It does sometimes.

Oh, it does. Okay. But there was a video that said, if you have cat and jack and it's less than a year old, you can bring it back for a store credit. So somebody's don't have tags? No, they were just, they should all be the same. If it came off, it came, I don't know. Did you come up here for the cat inject thing? Yeah.

That's here. Okay. Because I saw a video on the internet, and I was like, is that real? Yes, as long as you have proof of purchase. got proof of purchase. I just thought it's crazy. I was like, there's no way TikTok. You know, you can blame TikTok for this just so you know because TikTok told me.

I was like, there's no way this is real. And it's really real. Man, so I got $200 back. Woo-hoo. Great day. But how'd you have your receipt on the app? If you pay credit card, it goes straight to an app. Guys, you get free clothes the rest of your life.

This is unbelievable. Is it just cat in the hat or is it? It's just Target brand clothes. Cat and Jack. Cat and Jack is the kid brand, but they have adult target brand also. What? Yeah. And you can wear Target clothes all year.

And take it back. I've never heard about it for adults, but I have returns. Like housewares? They have Target brand housewares. You can take it back. Really? Like plates and stuff? This is the, guys, you can shop for free for the rest of your life.

I don't think this is true. I don't think what he's saying is actually accurate. It's not accurate. I don't think that this part is accurate. I knew we should have done a financial segment on the lunchbox. But you heard this. the clip though. I mean, it worked. For cat and Jack, it sounds like. And even then

it feels shady. If you're wearing them for nine months and taking it back. Right. If you're intense. My kids had shoes. Dude, we got brand new shoes. Because guess what we did with the old ones? We took it back. If you have your purchase history on the app, a receipt from your purchase. I mean, it... This is crazy.

If you pay the 90 day return period. If your clothing is from a target brand, you have 365 to make the return. But it doesn't say you can wear it. They don't want you to go and wear it for 364 and bring it back. Right. Mostly it's if you decide. If they get a premature hole.

No, they say they guarantee it for one year. If they outgrow it, it stains, it fades. Take it back. Take it back. That is, dude, my wife was so mad that we wasted almost five years not knowing about this. So what do you do now starting today? Take it back. No, no, no, no.

Like, how does your plan change now? So now I only shop there, get the clothes, wear them. Hey, guess what? We're bringing it back. See in a couple months. it on the calendar, like, need to... Yeah. I mean, you just market a year, but you can take them back in six months.

Need a wardrobe change? Get a whole new wardrobe. This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to America. I mean, I'm excited. It just can't be this easy. It is. I'm telling you, my kid's shoes had holes in them. You said that five times. I hear you. I guess my... And this dude had to sit there

and type in every little... He had to look at the little tag on the, you know, like a side or whatever, and it has an item number, and he had to type them all in. I could tell he was super annoyed with me, but guess what? Store policy, I brought it back. So I guess my, here's my thing. I think the intent was not to abuse the system like this.

Right. I think probably this falls within the rules, the loopholes. But I think this is a bit of abuse of the system, but not illegal. I don't think it's abusive system. Yeah, I think that they have to account for a few people like this. But overall, they just want to seem like, we care about you the customer. We're easy, breezy, breezy. Here's what it is.

if you're not satisfied with any satisfied with any target owned brand items, you can make an exchange or get a refund within one year. Right. So are you saying you weren't satisfied? Wasn't satisfied.

Guess what? Got a hole in it. Got a stain. Outgrew them. The shoes wore out. Guess what I did? Brought it back. No, take it.

He messed up his own line there. I took it back. My official statement on this is, I think you're abusing the system. I don't think you did anything illegal. I think they have this in case you, right, you're not satisfied. I feel like you're very satisfied.

I got over $200 back. Yeah. This is great, dude. I for sure have Cat and Jack. Exactly. Like for sure at the house. Hey, what are you going to do? I'm going to take it back.

No. Purchased. Amy, I'm going to take it back. But 364, you've had it for. Are you satisfied with it? No, no. Right. What do I tell them when I get there, lunch?

Man, not satisfied. I got to take it back. It's awesome. I'm going to play the song. But I just want you guys to know I'm not signing up for this. Okay. I don't love it. My daughter, that influence.

Cannot hear this segment. She will do this. She'll do what? Take it back. She's going to, this will be her new thing. I know. I have to go. Thank you guys.

Lunchbox, thank you. He's got to target. Here's a voicemail we got over the weekend. I'm wondering if anybody's going to tell Eddie that I'm pretty for sure selling food is illegal without a food permit in Davidson County. Just thought I'd help them out. What do you mean? I never thought about you doing something illegal when you're selling all this food. What do you mean?

You're smoking chickens and you're selling them publicly. Do you have a permit? I just assumed you had a permit and you went to the city. No, no, no permit. Wow. I didn't assume that. I didn't even think about it. I didn't even think about it.

I didn't think about it. I bought chickens and I put them in the smoker and I sold them. And they're all health. I would turn yourself in or I'm going to assistance arrest. What do you mean? I got to go to the police station? Yeah. If you don't go turn yourself in, I'm going to do a citizen arrest.

Also, are you going to report your income? Yeah, of course. Lunchbox show me how to do that later. I will. All right, thanks. Here I got you a permit. Mobile food vendor pilot program, uh,

food truck permit. What do you need? Okay. You just need to, we'll get on it. The 2020 Food Freedom Act here changed the cottage food laws allowing homemade non-tc.S food products to be produced at a private

residence and sold within the state without a license or permit. Let's go! He's back in business. Come on. Just like that. Hey, whatever you just read, print that out for me. I put my handcuffs away. I will not arrest you.

Thank you, man. Selling chickens like crazy. Come on. Okay. Well, thank you. That's a good conversation we needed to have. Yeah. And then we sealed the deal.

We're good. We're good to sell. What do you mean to sell the deal? Well, I mean, like, we got scared for a second. Now we're good. Now we're back. Okay, good. A win is a win. A win.

A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep. That's me, Clever Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. Right, so here's a question for you. Ten years from now, do you think we'll still be better than AI at anything? Yeah. I do. Because

we'll teach AI to teach us things. So then we get smarter. We'll go next level. Love it. Okay. Yeah, I do think the thing that will eventually equalize is just unplugging it. Yeah, shut it down. That's true.

What do you do about it? Yeah, it gets a little too smart. Pull the plug. See ya. What are they going to do? Got no power. There is a list of things that was put out that says, hey, AI cannot be better than us at this stuff. Well, here's what, here's the thing. The honest thing is AI only does what we teach it to do, right?

Art creating, and AI will be able to create, but it's only creating based on the creations that we have done. The human brain is able to create, see new things that it hasn't before. AI can only create things based on it thinks it has been topped for now until it takes over like Terminator. But yes, the creation part, art is going to be difficult for AI to overtake. Compete, yes, overtake no. Top five things. cooking, making complex ethical decisions. Cooking. That's going to be the easiest thing. I think they're going to nail cooking.

Yeah. Heck, I can't. No, they can't. No, they can't taste. Doesn't matter. They can't. Morgan. She had COVID for like three years. She's doing just fine. No point. Smell or anything else. What? Okay. Being a therapist. Yeah, I think that'll be fine too. Like, say your stuff. A therapist is trained. Probably a better therapist. Oh, this is the list of things that they're not going to be better than this at.

They've already said AIs are better judges than judges. by putting all of the information from cases into an AI, looking at the data, taking the analytics of the situation, and the AI judge has been more right than the judge judge who's able to use feelings into the... Oh, yeah, we're screwed. Okay.

The more we go on, the sadder I get at the story. Providing emotional companionship? Yeah, see, that one, we've got that. Do we? Yes. Because we know how to pivot, you know? we know how to like, oh, like, she's not liking that, so let's shift here. Sounds very personal, familiar.

You know what I'm saying? Having a friend to lean on, like, you can go to your friend or your significant other and they're there. Like, AI can't meet you where you're at. I bet it will be able to. I often thought I was going to, I thought I'd never get married until I'm my wife, that eventually I would just marry AI. Like that movie. Her.

Yeah. And the final thing, the number one thing, caring for kids and the elderly. Probably better at that. Yeah, that'll be good at that. What? Yeah. Okay. I'll buy an AI for that.

Have you ever gotten menu anxiety? I look at the menu a lot of places before I go, especially. You do online? Here's the situation. If I'm going somewhere where I know my focus doesn't need to be spent on that menu, like if it's a work meeting, if it's some sort of interview, something where I'm there other than just to eat, I will look. So I'm not spending a lot of my mental space going, okay, what do I want?

What can I eat? gonna get on me. So yes, I will look if that's the case. If I'm going hang out with friends, I like to experience a menu there. I like take it all in, talk about it. But I don't really get menu anxiety, but I think I would if I didn't do some pre-menu work. That's a smart tip to pre-menu work if you're going to a work dinner.

Just because I only have so much. And then you show up and you look like, hey, I know how to make decisions. I know what I want. I don't ever tell them I've already studied the menu. I just go like, yeah, let me take a look at the menu. Oh, yeah, I'm going to have a braised short rib and I'm going to take a side of broccoliini.

and do the glass dirty. Oh, dirty glass. And they're like, what does that mean? No idea. Just make it happen. I clap. Well, if you do get menu anxiety, which a lot of people apparently do, the top tactic is to just speak up about it and say, hey, if the server comes to you, I'm not ready yet. Can you hit everybody else up and come to me last?

And then that'll give you more time. And the top things we're thinking about when we're looking at a menu, taste, price, and how long it's going to take to make it. Yeah, that's called eating dinner. That's about eating out at a restaurant. Yeah, yeah. I'm priced first, though. All the, yeah. Yeah, like you're gonna go under 20 bucks?

Okay, that's my menu. My wife gets really annoyed at me because when I have figured out what I want, I've just declared everybody knows what they want. Yes. Yes. And also when you're done eating, everybody else is done eating. So I get the menu. Let's say I haven't looked it up.

We're going out of deep with friends. I look at it and the server comes over and is like, all right, you guys know what you want? Yeah, we sure do. My wife's like, we? You got a mouse in your pocket? We don't, none of us do it. I'll say, that's what I say. Well, then I'll go first and I'll just talk slow.

Give you time to decide. Yeah. So then I do. Well, I would like to start with the French onion soup. And then the server's like, oh my God, we're doing a bit. But everybody does get ready. And then I always like the check to come out before we're really done. I like to ask for it or leave the card there. Because on my last bite, I like to be out the door.

Well, not like hanging around for me. We've hung out. There's no need to keep hanging. So it's like swallow out the door we go. I don't want to wait for the check. But yes. Go ahead. I have the top five country songs that are turning 20 this year.

Okay. And at five, Dirk's Bentley, what was I thinking? The chicks at four with Travel and Soldier. No, the 20 thing doesn't make me feel that old. If you said 40, songs that are 40 or 30, but 20, I don't even really have a, I don't even have a place where I was. Oh, really? I do.

I go back. I was a senior in college. Well, I mean, I could put where I was by doing the math. I'm just saying like 20 years, I guess, I hear Traveling Soldier by Dixie Chick, I don't really go, oh, yeah. That song wasn't that big to me because that was like the backside of the Dixie Chicks, right? Yeah, towards the end. 99 was more of early 2000s. Maybe.

Okay, what else? Okay, Brooks and Dunn, Red Dirt Road. No shoes, no shirt, no problems. Can you chest? See, this feels newish. Not new, not new, but later than what I would consider like 90s, 20s. early 2000s country. Sounds like it is that,

but it doesn't feel like old or anything. What else? The number one goes to Martina McBride. This one's for the girls. Well, if they were single and still were lunchbox, he could date them.

They're 20. Wow. Yeah. That's right. That's crazy. Those songs you could be hooking up with. That's weird.

Yeah. I do have an honorable... That's how we get it to him. That's how I make him feel it. I do have an honorable mention because I'm a Texas girl and it's Pat Green Wave on Wave. I know where this,

I know where I was with this song. This is the only song. This is the only song. song where I feel like, oh, I remember exactly where I was. It was in Austin. It was in Austin for sure. And I remember because Pat Green was there, but it was playing, being played on KVet. On

national stations. Packering was basically Texas country. He was always in Texas. But I remember this song was like taken off on like national country radio. And we played it. We were on a pop station, but we were always told we were two country to be pop. Then we were told we're too pop to be country. But I remember playing this. Wave on Wave on the

pop station. Yeah, this one that hits me a little bit. Is that it? I made me. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

Bobby Bostic has spent over two decades in prison. He served for a series of armed robberies when he was a teenager. But when he was in prison, he guys' associate's degree. And he was an author. He wrote books on how to be a better person, how not to get stuck in bad situation, stuff like that. And now seven months ago, he just got released from prison. And he started a charity called Dear Mama in honor of his mom,

Kind of like the Tupac song. And all he does is he collects goods for kids, like toys, books, whatever, and then he donates into people that need stuff like that. So he, in prison, he helped himself when he got out of prison. Now he's doing charity, doing good things. It's pretty awesome. That is, that's it. That's what it's all about right there.

That was Tell Me Something Good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.
