If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.
Starting point is 00:01:45 There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Monday Show. Morning studio. Morning. I hope you guys are having a great Monday. We've got a short week because it's almost Thanksgiving. Oh man, finally.
Starting point is 00:02:16 What's up? Finally, Thanksgiving. Because you're looking forward to Thanksgiving or any time off? A little bit of both, but mainly I need time off. Going hard, a little too hard. Yeah, a little too hard. A lot of work, a lot of hours. Sure.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Doing what? Work. Okay. Little this, little that. Oh, I don't know. You did this. Yeah. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:02:33 All right. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to get to know, like we do on Monday. Amy's got the question for us. So what is your story? Which type of procrastinator are you? Because there's different versions. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:42 So it's sort of like how you show up when it comes to projects. The perfectionist spends too much time on every small detail and feels overwhelmed by the need to be perfect. Okay, anybody feel like they're that? I'm not that. That's not you? No, I don't need to be perfect. 100% not me. Not me.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Nobody. Okay, what else? The dreamer likes to plan and think about how to best do things, but does not follow through. That's lunchbox. That's lunchbox for sure. Never, does they never follow through? Yeah, that's not right. And often lies.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Is that on there? Yeah, that's lunchbox. And tricks people out of their money? Nope, never tricked you out of your own money. Lunchbox is a dreamer. Go ahead. The avoider doesn't want to be embarrassed or judged for any mistakes, would rather avoid it completely.
Starting point is 00:03:25 That's Eddie. No. That's Eddie. I don't want to do it. I'm too busy, man. So he doesn't want to do it. He avoids it because he doesn't want to have to put his name on it. I'm too busy doesn't mean I want to avoid it.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I would agree with that. But I also don't agree. You're always so busy. But go ahead. Okay. The next one is the crisis maker works well under pressure. needs the excitement of a close deadline. Ooh, Bones.
Starting point is 00:03:46 That's me. That's you? Yeah, it's not me. I don't think I'm a procrastinator at all. You don't ever put anything off? No, he really doesn't. Just for the thrill of it. Why would I get a thrill out of putting something off?
Starting point is 00:03:56 I get anxiety thinking about it. Like, even when we try to do like, hey, well, it's a great idea we can do this in three weeks. He's like, no, I want to do it tomorrow or today. I'm afraid I'll lose the fire. Yeah. So, but I can be annoying, too. I'm not saying, but I don't think I'm a procrastinator.
Starting point is 00:04:11 At all? That's probably why you're not going to be any of these. Okay. Eddie, I think you might be that one. What was that one? Crisis Maker. Oh, no, Amy's that one. Yeah, it works well under pressure.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Got it, got it. Okay, and then the final one is the dreadfilled. It doesn't like what they're working on and lacks motivation to begin. Eddie. Now we found Eddie. There it is. But you thought I could be a little bit of everything. Yeah, you could come up a lot in those.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I am a procrastinator. Which one do you think you're most like? I probably a dreamer. I like to dream things up, but then when it comes to doing it? Never do it? Nah. Maybe tomorrow. I think most people, if they had to pick
Starting point is 00:04:42 one would think of the crisis one, like, I work best when the lights are on, but they're really also not that as well. No, I really, I work to not be that because I don't want to put things off to the last minute, but I always, like, that's how I was in college studying for tests. It was always right up to the last minute. I was cramming it in. But was it because you thought you just did better, like this says? Like, if I just wait, I thrive whenever it's time to, like, under the lights.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Like, put me in coach, because if it's game time, I go. Yeah, I guess I'm thriving because I'm getting it. done. Yeah, I hear you. Okay, well, I'll put this up, if you guys want to see this, we'll put this up on our Bobby Bones.com, go check it out, what type of procrastinator are you? I don't feel like I'm that. I'm not trying to two moan horn. I have a lot of flaws. Sure. So many, we do the whole show, it'd be all flaw all the time. But I don't think I'm a procrastinator. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I was invited to a good friend's wedding, but found out through
Starting point is 00:05:41 the grapevine that I'm not invited to the bachelor party. It seems to include a lot of mutual friends and I feel a bit hurt and excluded. It seems as though pretty much everyone within the circle is invited because of me, though. I thought maybe someone forgot or maybe assumed I'd already been invited or that there's a reason for me being excluded that I'm not aware of. Should I bring this up with the groom or let it go and focus on the wedding? Signed, left out of the party. It was an accident.
Starting point is 00:06:13 And she heard it through the grapevine. It's a he. He, bachelor. Yeah, he did. Also, there may be a reason. For example, I remember when lunchbox got married, I wasn't invited to his bachelor party. And at first, I was, I was like, well, that hurts. But they just went hard.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And I wouldn't invite me either. But I cried for days. You didn't invite him to? No. Look, it was drinking. Bobby didn't drink. It was gambling. At that point in time, Bobby wasn't gambling.
Starting point is 00:06:41 No, he wasn't gambling. I think I'd stepped away for a bit. He stepped away from gambling. And golfing. He wasn't golfing at that time. He had stepped away from golf. So really, what was there going to be for Bobby to do? And there was dance clubbing.
Starting point is 00:06:54 And what he means by dance clubbing? Is there were certain people dancing. You're sitting. Bobby doesn't do that either. And Bobby doesn't do that. So what was there for Bobby to do? I mean, you could have hung out. Maybe just the invite.
Starting point is 00:07:05 It's okay. It's okay. I'm not still scarred or anything. But so I think that. That's okay. Because, guys, when Bobby had a bachelor party, I was not invited either. So let's not. But that was second.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Right. That was only in return for not being invited to yours. Because that's how we do it. Because there was no dancers and no drinking and no gambling. So did one of you guys write the mailbag? I'm confused. No, we're just giving it. We're telling you he was probably left out on purpose.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I don't know what the reason is. It could have been. Who knows? Like maybe this dude goes back and tells his wife and like the wife tells everybody. Exactly. Maybe you have loose lips. We don't know. Maybe you're lame.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yes, hit the breaks. Like, he hasn't said anything yet. Like, you've just heard through other people that you may not be invited. Wait till it gets closer. Don't stare at the phone, bro. I mean, I used to be that person. I remember when lunchbox is having his party, I was looking for an L to show up my phone. And it never can.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Bill collector. Yeah, never got invited. So I follow Mel Robbins on Instagram and she posts this whole thing and it went really viral. It's a let them theory. And if someone, one of the. examples of the let them theory is if a friend doesn't invite you to, you know, a lunch or in this case, a bachelor party or whatever, you just let them. That's, it's not, you don't want it to take up space in your brain. If they're going to do that, you can let them and you proceed on
Starting point is 00:08:28 with your weekend and go do something. The lesson theory is weird though. Let's say you're getting robbed. Not that part. What? It's not, that wasn't one of the examples. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like, oh, let's say. It's talking about what you're going to let. What you're going to let take up. space in your brain. Let's say you're walking with your kid. Someone's a like to have that kid. Let them. Let them have the kid. It's a terrible theory. You know that that's not what it is about. I would just say that it sucks. It sucks to be left out for sure. But don't don't raise your hand and be like, was I supposed to get invited? That's only doubly awkward. Yeah, no, you just got to let them. Hey, this is the one time I agree with Amy. Let them. Yeah. Sorry,
Starting point is 00:09:07 there's no good answer to this. Not one time you agree with me. Yeah. Okay. Well, the other let them's I came up with terrible examples of that theory. All right, thank you. That's the mailbag. Close it up. We got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailback.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Yeah. I don't know who this is for the record. So I'm going to play along too. So Eddie, what happened? Well, there's something my in-laws have always done for as long as I've known them. They send us like newspaper clippins or magazines or whatever. Usually things that I think are interesting, like Willie Nelson or whatever. It's like, oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:09:39 They sent me one a couple days ago. and I look at it and I'm just like what is this? And I keep reading, reading, and one of the show members, one of us is on the cover and there's a fool Of a magazine? Of a magazine And there's a full story
Starting point is 00:09:55 on this person. Of a magazine? Yeah, and I was so shocked because I'm like, what? I've never heard of this. For when? And who sent it? My mother-in-law. So you got to put that together. So that's Texas. Yeah, she lives in Dallas. What kind of magazine? I don't know if I can say that
Starting point is 00:10:14 Okay, don't give away anything I can say it's related to college It's related to college Does anybody know Was it like a Did you read it? Was it like kind of bullcrap? I didn't really I didn't read it
Starting point is 00:10:27 I saw it and I'm like What is this crap? Okay There's a full spread Oh yeah I didn't read it By the clues Only those clues
Starting point is 00:10:36 Who do we think it is Abby or Morgan Yeah Has to be about someone With Kansas State Maybe Could it be UTSA? No.
Starting point is 00:10:45 No, because they don't even acknowledge that he went to school here. Yeah, because I get the sombria in the mail and they've never had me on the front. The sombrea, that's what's called? Yeah. Even when they do famous alum and they list people who were like kicked off Survivor Week 1, they still don't list lunchbox. Yeah. I don't even know if they list Travis Scott, which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:02 They do. I've seen him on him. I was just trying to relate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dang it. What about Arkansas? I just don't know that it would have happened then. But in Dallas, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:11 She sent me a couple that you're in, and it's not. I'll say it's not you. Got it. I'm going to go with Morgan. I. Do you have it? With you? Do you have the magazine?
Starting point is 00:11:24 No, no, no. I thought it away. Yeah. What? Why would you go away? I don't. What am I going to do with that? Well, clearly, whoever it is, they don't know they're on it.
Starting point is 00:11:32 They may want to. No, they know. Morgan. Oh, it's Morgan. Okay, Morgan. I go, I go Morgan. Why are we asking out, X and out Raymondo? Because remember his old college,
Starting point is 00:11:44 reached out to be a mentor. Texas State? No, who did you guess? Ray. Eddie, who was it? It's Morgan. Do you know about it Morgan? I mean, I know I was in a magazine,
Starting point is 00:11:54 but I didn't know I was on a cover or anything. It was a sorority magazine, the Delta Delta Delta, Delta, which I guess my mother-in-law was a Delta. That's so weird. So, yeah. Hey, Morgan is sisters like your mom. She's Aunt Morgan.
Starting point is 00:12:08 What's up, Aunt Morgan? That's wild. Yeah. And you didn't save it for her to see? No, you probably have it. I don't. Why wouldn't you bring that in? Oh, no, I threw it away.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I knew I was under like a 33-33 for tried-out list, but I didn't know that they would put me on the cover. Is it like a bunch of people on the cover? Yeah, no, no, no, it's just you. No way! Did you have a picture of it? No, yeah. What are you talking about? You just saw it and threw it away immediately?
Starting point is 00:12:34 I don't know what she was wearing. What in the world? What was the article about? Eddie knows nothing about this thing that he had. So did maybe your mother-in-law just sent you a picture? shrub it and you never really had it. She sent me the magazine. But I'm telling you, she sends me stuff all the time. And I'm like, oh, that's cool. And I throw it away. And you didn't think to message
Starting point is 00:12:49 Morgan would be like, hey, I have this magazine. Do you want to see it? I don't think twice about it. Bones, when you come out in magazines, do you have the magazine? Yes. No, not always. Stop. When you were in people, did you not have the magazine? People was different because they sent me a bunch of them. Well, this is tried Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, dude. Yeah, it's weird that they didn't send Morgan a magazine.
Starting point is 00:13:09 But also that she didn't know and you didn't text her to be like, do you want the copy of this? Well, I thought I would just send it to the show. talk about it. Wait, Morgan, whenever you were submitted as the 33 and or whatever, 33, did you submit a photo? Yeah, I submitted a photo. I just thought there was going to be like an article or something. I didn't know I was going to be on the cover. That's what was your sorority? Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta. Try Delta. Yeah, or Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta. May I help you, help you help you? Is that, like, that's their thing. It's something we would say sometimes. Yeah. And you were a capa, capa gamma gamma. And did you guys ever have a feud where you fought each
Starting point is 00:13:40 other. No, but Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta did cut me the first night. Oh, so you couldn't, you, they're not an option for me. Why, Amy? I don't know. I'll probably because I was a Cayo Mega legacy. So most people thought I was going to go Cayo because my sister. So they cut you because they thought you were going to reject them? Okay. No, no. Hey, that's why every girl rejected me when I was younger. No. Because they thought I was going to reject them. Okay. I don't understand. That's the only reason. I'm sure I just, yeah, I wasn't their cup of teeth. Did you benefit, Amy, from being in a sorority do you feel? I think that I met some amazing girls and it was fun. That's a question I asked. I think I would have had a good college experience had I done it or not done it. So either way.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Yeah, I totally would have done it no matter what. So you do benefit, you did benefit from being in a sorority? Yeah. And I, well, I don't think there's any direct benefits that I've had. Like, there's never a connection that I've had. But it's always been, like, I've connected with people after the fact. Like it's cool to know that like Eddie's mother-in-law now we're sisters. Like that is a cool connection. Do you have a secret handshake? No, but we have a sign. We did try it out.
Starting point is 00:14:46 But that's not secret. You're showing me. Yeah. But there are a secret chance that we have. Can you share one with us? No, I cannot because they're inappropriate. Oh. I'm going to ask my mother-in-law.
Starting point is 00:14:55 But there are things that we would only do like during the meetings that nobody else knew about. Inappropriate things with just all you girls. They're just like that's a cuss words. We're going to do this on the podcast to uncut. Well, Eddie, if you could get another coffee, we'd like to see it. How am I going to give another copy, dude? I don't know. Ask your mother-in-law.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Okay, okay. Okay, okay. Try Delt chapter or go by the-line. I at least like to see it. Or stop by the Tridelt's here on campus. Yeah, Eddie, knock on the door. Hey, guys. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:20 It's time for the good news. Who is Amy? Yeah, I'm there's something good. Karen Collinsworth has been near Marshall University campus for a long time and working at the Starbucks that's right there. She's 65 years old and she feels like she's a mom to a lot of the other 19-year-old employees that work there. everybody loves Karen. Well, she recently started to have some car trouble. Her 2004, Kia, hadn't really been working that great.
Starting point is 00:15:46 And then her car was broken into. It made things worse. So her co-workers at Starbucks decided to put up a go-fund meet. It was called We Love You Karen. And their goal was to help buy her a working car so that she didn't have to worry about getting to work or handling anything that she needed to. And they raised $40,000.
Starting point is 00:16:04 $40? Yeah. So you know people love them some Karen. Wow. I thought you were going to say like eight. That's going to be like, wow. That's a lot of money. She's 40 and I'm like, wow, which sounds the same, but it's different intensity from my heart.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Yeah, Karen said for them to be 19-year-old college students with so much going on in their life and then to take the time to take care of their Starbucks mom, she just talked about how big their hearts were. Wow. That's crazy. Makes me feel like there's hope for humanity. Yeah, Eddie. Get them go fund me, you know. Yeah, turkey. For your hair.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Oh. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands.

Starting point is 00:18:06 I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck in. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.

Starting point is 00:19:56 In case you didn't know. They're the front men. They came by months ago. And it was just a cool thing they were doing to tour. But it's the lead singers of Lone Star, Restless Heart, and Little Texas. And we can roll through it real quick. Lone Star Amazed. I don't know how you do what you do.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Little Texas, God bless Texas. Speaking of Texas. Restless Heart, the bluest eyes in Texas. The bluest eyes in Texas. It's a legitimate thing. Massive hits. These guys can still sing the crap out of songs. They're called The Front Men, and they're here now.
Starting point is 00:20:33 On the Bobby Bone Show now. The Front Men. All right, here they are. In studio. It's the second time you guys have been here, right? Yes. Yes. Okay, so let me explain.
Starting point is 00:20:41 It's Larry from Restless Heart. Richie McDonnell, formerly of Lone Star. Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas. They are the front man. That's welcome, my man. That's all right. Do you feel like people, Larry, I'll start with you. Do you feel like people are starting? Because the frontman, they're like, who the heck's the frontman? Is it starting to catch a little bit?
Starting point is 00:20:57 Slowly but surely. And yes, I mean, the word of mouth, ground swell is doing us and favors out there on the road. We'll do about 70 shows. So we are introducing ourselves to a lot of folks. Any fistfights about where God bless Texas goes into the set list? No, we end with that one. Oh, okay. That's a no-brainer. Just didn't know because you have three frontmen here of massive groups. troops that I know, you know, probably... Well, I make all the calls because I'm the oldest, so there. You're the oldest? I wouldn't have...
Starting point is 00:21:26 Can you tell? Well, I was going to... No, I can. You all look beautifully. Same. 45 or so. Hey, where were we... Tim, we were at a concert?
Starting point is 00:21:37 Ben Rector. Ben Rector. That's right. Yeah. I walked up to you and I said, hey, it's your fault. And you go, what I do? Yeah. And I said, you told us we should cut new music and we did. And now we got a deal. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:48 It's crazier stuff has happened. So you got to... You guys have a deal too? Yeah, thanks a lot, Bobby. Dang, I really let you guys down. I had to spend more time with these days. That's your fault. We did.
Starting point is 00:21:56 We wrote and recorded and John Loba heard it and went, why would I not want to do this? And we were like, really? Oh, that's super cool. And so when you go in, because you're three different frontmen, because the new song, let me ask you this, the new song, who's singing? Who's on, is that awkward? I don't know. There's three frontmen. Who's the front man?
Starting point is 00:22:15 It has been easy for us to identify the voice for a start. certain song. Got it. I'm not going to say it's going to be like that forever, but so far, so perfect. Yeah. So the song, Landloin, Mexico is a new song. Who sings that song? We all do.
Starting point is 00:22:31 We share lead vocals on that song. Oh, well, that's easy one. I would do that in all the songs then. Right. Well, we've got, like, some songs that are obviously Richie or Larry or me. Yeah. And then we actually, on three or four songs, we're sharing vocals on them. I don't think that's really been done.
Starting point is 00:22:43 And that's the hard part or actually the cool part is that three lead singers, singing harmony together, it sounds a little bit more powerful. to me than it does just like you've got your singer then you've got the background guys we're three lead singers who just kind of you know you're basically the backstreet boys yeah ever heard but minus some minus three well you didn't you ever think about that or in sank in sank yes as you would say yes absolutely love that the states that you're from you're from you're from you're from texas born in oklahoma raised in texas well that's a weird weird dynamic so where do you where are you from i was born at tinker air force base oklahoma city do you see you
Starting point is 00:23:20 say Oklahoma? I do. Okay. But so you say Oklahoma or you give the long answer? Well, the Texas thing is because I was in Little Texas. So I kind of claim both depending on where I'm at, you know. Okay. So if you're going to lie, you say Texas. But if you're going to tell the truth, you say Oklahoma. Yeah. I do all the time too. All good. Yes. Have to. And you're from Texas. Dang, he's calling this out. Okay. So Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky. All right. Is there a big football, is there a big Texas Oklahoma rivalry here? Do you guys care? No, we just like good games. unless we're, you know, betting on it or something. And I'm from Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:23:52 I hadn't had a football team very often over my life. Every once in a while. You got a lot of basketball teams, though. Well, not recently. But yeah, you know. Can I hear a little bit of the new song? Yeah. Can you guys play?
Starting point is 00:24:03 Oh, if you're not tuned for it, we can go to something. We can do that. Are you guys good on that? Yeah, I'd rather start with that if you can. We don't tune. That is what I'm talking about right there. Country music. This is something really brandy, like no one's really even heard it.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Well, here we go. They're tuning up, except they don't tune. The new EP is out today. It is called Lay and Low in Mexico. And this is the new song from The Front Men. Here they are on the Bobby Bone Show. Nice job, yes. I don't know what I expected, but that was awesome.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I think I was expecting good. And I got awesome. Wow. Before lunch. Yeah. Holy crap. And it still is who you guys are, but it's also, it feels extremely,
Starting point is 00:24:45 contemporary as well at the same time. I don't know if that's important to you guys. That's a big deal. That's what Mickey Jackhones, our producer, was like, you know, you guys are kind of this three voices of the soundtrack of people's lives that are totally 90s, but we need to bring in it to today
Starting point is 00:25:01 and production-wise, and then writing-wise, create that. And I think we pulled that off so far. Man, when you guys coming together, that was full. Yeah. If you get to pick a fourth front man, why would it be me? Because you have a radio show. And, well, we're Buddy Holly fan, so it has to get the glasses. Okay, so making sure that.
Starting point is 00:25:19 So when you guys play shows, I'm always curious in the first and the last song. Because the first, very much a tone setter, even if the tone is, you don't know this song yet. But here you go. The last song always, boom, this is the one we want to end on, so you leave feeling this song. What's the first song the frontman play? Well, the first one, you know, you want to get their attention right away. So what about now? one that we recorded years ago.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Sure. So that kind of, you know, up-tempo, a lot of energy, high-energy, and it kind of sets the tone for the whole night. It's sort of a medley because we do all of What About Now, and then we do like a 10-song medley of just number one hits. You do a 10-song medley? Yeah, it's kick a little. I'd be sweating.
Starting point is 00:26:03 What is after that? What is it? What is it? Kick a little? What does that be wrong or right? Why does that be wrong or right? No, no. No news.
Starting point is 00:26:14 See? The wrong for it already. I use a prompter on the stage when I'm doing my stand-up act to just give me themes of the order I want to go. Do you guys use prompter at all? You have so many number ones and you have to learn everybody else's songs as well? Or do you guys have them all memorized? We know them. You do?
Starting point is 00:26:29 Yeah, not yet. Because I feel, well, I use one now is why I ask. I feel like that I know every one of you guys' songs except I don't really know the words. Oh, wow. Meaning I know every song. I'm already there I'm already there some music and I'm a new
Starting point is 00:26:45 You know what if it's on I've done that lyric Yeah you know what I'm already there But I don't know any word to any song Like I love lyrics But I don't know them But I know melodies That like Amy is back in Austin
Starting point is 00:27:02 I'm already tonight Working at Lazzona Rosa Cappin Yeah There you go Well yeah but I mean yeah We've been to Eliza Russell, but that's your song. See, I know.
Starting point is 00:27:16 That was my song because I'm from Austin and my name's Amy, so I always love that. See there? It is totally your song. Totally. Baby when I'm a suh. No, no, no, don't laugh on until I. I'm going to see how many of you get. Dude, you got to let me do my process.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Baby, when I come true, nothing inside you, there's always words I can take. Yeah, I don't man. But then I know, you'll still believe I'm the only one ever. Did I get any of them right? A couple of words in there. Yeah. But I know when it's on. You got the melody, you're spot on.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Don't know why you do what you do. There you go. I'm so in love with you. Are you acting like you're playing piano? Yes, because I'm trying to keep the time. Just keep getting better. Like I said, I know every word, except I don't know any of the words. If that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:28:09 It does. It's kind of cool. I'm digging the whole. This is totally new to me. Some of my songwriting buddies do that. They'll come up with the melody while we're writing and they can't say any words. So they go, hey,
Starting point is 00:28:18 da, da, doda, de, da, you kind of like that. Yeah, except if I didn't come up with the melody, I stole yours. And then I,
Starting point is 00:28:22 then, but that's, you guys have done all these songs, our whole lives. You're the soundtrack, like I said, to us, probably what, teenage?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Oh, no, younger than that. 10. Because I was in the, I was in the little Texas fan club. Wow. No,
Starting point is 00:28:38 but I mean, I'm the oldest one here, in a little Texas fan club when I was 10 years old, 9 years old. Wow. Yeah, man. Love that. Oh my gosh. Come on. But you guys look the same age. Who? Me and Tim? Yeah. Thank you, me. It's like we never got older, Tim. Yeah, both of you guys. Stayed the same age. Frozen in time. So this new EP Familiar Faces, it is three new songs. One of them you played, Lay in Lelandlo in Mexico. Actually, yeah, that song's actually not on the EP. Why did you play it here then? Because we wanted to do something special and new for you. I'm glad you did because it sounded good. We wanted to give you a little something, you know.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Do you do any other new songs? Yeah? I mean, if you want to play a little something from the nude record, you can. You don't have to. I don't want to put you on the spot. Do it a little bit of Luffler Mark? I think that's so good, guys. Holy crap.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Wow. That's awesome. You ought to hear the second verse. Oh, it goes, make you cry. Get a pair of pliers and a running start. It's, yeah, it's, he brought that in. We were trying to wrap up what the final components of the album would be, the full album. And he brought that and he goes, hey, man, I got something I wrote.
Starting point is 00:29:38 And he told the story about it. you know, literally pulling his car over impatient at first because that looked like something was going on and it ended up being a funeral processioner and he wrote that and we were like dude, we are so cutting that. That's a great. Richie, great song. You sounded great like I think everybody kind of felt it in one way or the other.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Oh yeah. That was awesome. Thank you. Yeah, I know you guys weren't planning to play that but I'm glad you did. You can curse me after you're gone for making you do that but right now we're feeling pretty good. Cool. Okay. We love that song. Yeah. Top one or two favorite that we recorded. Well, you only record a three, so I mean,
Starting point is 00:30:12 if you were to say, of the new ones. We recorded about 12. Well, the ones that I see. Yeah, I love that. The medley that you guys do of the hits, how many hits do you put in that medley? Well, you mean the one at a concert. Because it would be hilarious if you went and you just
Starting point is 00:30:30 played a non-stop melody for an hour and then walked off. Like there was never a break. It was just one to the next. I would laugh for that would be the greatest. Like, all right, guys, we're going to start with this. You finish all, every number one. and you do the new, and then you just walk off. I'd like that. I'd get a good laugh at that.
Starting point is 00:30:44 We'd do about an hour and 50 minutes, and there's still about five number one songs that don't have in the show. Bragger. It is kind of cool. I think a lot for us on stage is just watching people's eyeballs. Of course.
Starting point is 00:30:55 They're connecting the dots. And, you know, and, you know, not to be schmaltzy about it, but there's a lot of emotion because all those songs take people to a certain place. And so, you know, it's one thing, like when he does, I'm already there. I mean, it's just bring a mop out.
Starting point is 00:31:08 People are just, it fractures. people. But I also think that we do a really cool fresh version of all those songs, you know, so we kind of bring a freshness to it. But it is a great concert experience, even for us. It's, you know, we actually dig it. Larry, do you ever rap in these songs for the freshness? Do we ever what? Do you ever rap? Do a little rap in the middle? No. He could, though. You should. Add some freshness to that. Be like, oh, I'm Larry from restless. Saving it. Okay. I won't, I won't lay down anything. Larry, Stue. Would you guys do the medley? Because on this, the new EP is familiar faces.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And so, man, that song that you guys played left their mark is awesome. But I know you guys are doing, I'll still be loving you. God bless Texas, amazed. Can you cram those three together? That was good. I don't know, whatever you want. Just cram whatever together. We'll just be here.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Play for an hour. We'll check back it later. Yeah, we'll be here. You want it. Let's do them. Do whatever you want. I don't care what you do. Here's the front men.
Starting point is 00:32:01 We're just enjoying the show. This is one of those rare times where we just get to sit back and enjoy whatever you guys do. The Front Men are here, which, by the way, follow them on Instagram at the Front Men Live. It's Larry from Restless Heart. Richie from Lone Star, Tim Rushlow, Little Texas. They have three new songs and three new versions and three hits from their past. This is awesome, me talking over this. And I want everybody to know that no matter who you are and where you are, you are loved.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Someone right now is thinking about you and they're thinking about and they're caring about you with all of their heart. Leave your number. We sell on Jelly Row now. The Frontman, they have a new EP out. It's six songs, three songs that you love done a little differently. A little, what would you say? I won't say newer, but a little fresher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:49 A little fresher. And then three songs that you already love, done a little fresher. Except, I mean, whatever. It's all stuff. It's all fun. You guys sound great. Thanks, man. Thanks so much.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Thanks for having us. You guys sing together you sound great too. Like, how did three guys who were just like alpha energy decide to do it? And then it works together. I would never. It just does, you know. Yeah. And even when we're doing our creative
Starting point is 00:33:15 stuff. We just know who is going to sing what and oh, you take the high part, you take his singing lead on that one. It just, it just feels you know, and to be really not too cornball, I think we're really grateful that we still get to do what we love to do and we're still, I think, on top of our game vocally and
Starting point is 00:33:30 you know, we try to take care of ourselves and just, you know, to get this shot, I mean, again, it's your fault, dude. It's not my fault that I love you, okay? I can't stop love. Oh, there you go. Exactly. But we did take your advice and we, you know, We've now gotten a position to actually make music that we're proud of.
Starting point is 00:33:49 And you never know, we may screw up and have a hit on the radio again someday. Well, I mean, it's awesome y'all can make it work because, I mean, I could picture some lead singers getting together and it being more of a battle of like when you're like, mm, and then the next guy's like, you're like, you're doing Hansen. But I mean that you're like, oh, I can do that louder. I can do that better. I can do that louder. I can hold that note longer. But y'all just kind of. Whoever pees on the tree first of these three, they get it.
Starting point is 00:34:12 It's like my dogs. first want to pee there that's their spot okay so the music's out now the EP and I'm assuming if this does pretty well there'll be more music EP turns into LP
Starting point is 00:34:22 LP turns into baby first love comes love then comes marriage Well we actually have an an LP done You do Well you don't have to whisper We do
Starting point is 00:34:31 Yeah cool It's just not out yet Got it The goal is single 2024 Yeah You're gonna be single 2024 Good for you
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah Uh oh Does Janet know All right, the frontman, go watch them. You guys are doing a bunch of shows in 2024, like fairs and festivals, and that's so fun. Which song, okay, this is the last question, because I could do this for three hours. And I need honesty, which always means it's going to be an awkward question. So let me go, Larry, do you first, what song of theirs is the number one?
Starting point is 00:35:04 Do you like playing the least? Playing the least? That's funny. That's amazing. It doesn't mean you don't like it, but it's like playing the least. for whatever reason, what's the number one song that you like playing the least from them? It's like, okay, so they did get along.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Here's Larry from Russell Park. There is not one I dislike in our whole set. No, no, I didn't say dislike. I said like the least, because I love all these people here on the show. Who do you like the least? If I got to pick one, I like the least. Yes. Probably lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:35:34 But I still love them. We've been together 20 years. No big deal. See? That's a hard one. It's mutual. I mean, I don't even know that I could pick one. One of Tim songs.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah, there you go. Because he sings, has sing so high? Yeah. Like, okay. I know. I feel like, Tim, I feel like you would, like, say a song. You're not going to say a song? Richie, I feel like you would say a song, too.
Starting point is 00:35:53 You're over there thinking. If you say which one the most, I can name. The most is the easy answer. Yeah, no. I don't know, man. At least probably one I have to sing the high part on that I, you know, squeak it out. I don't know. Richie.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Maybe, uh... Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Which one? Wrong or right. Yeah. Only because he has some other hits that I'd rather, uh,
Starting point is 00:36:13 perform. See, that's how you answer that question. See, that was really good. I'll be voting for him. Don't care anything else about it, but he got my vote. There you go. That's it. They looked at and they're like, oh, really? They start fighting now. I'm out. I quit. I'm out. You guys follow them at the frontmen live. Congratulations on the record, guys.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Thank you. Congratulations on the new song sounding really good. That's super cool. And I'm going to this is what I'm going to commit to right now. That song left their mark is so good. I don't know what you guys's plans are, but I do a national countdown show. I'm going to play that in the national countdown show. always like to feature the national song of the week. Because I just think that's, you know, I think it's an awesome song. It moved me.
Starting point is 00:36:50 You guys just played it. And it's so good. I think a national audience on the countdown needs to hear it too. So we'll do that as well. Awesome. All right. Thank you. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:58 There we go. There they are. The front man, everybody. Thank you. Here's the voicemail we got yesterday. I was actually just curious to see if you guys have done the secret Santa Christmas thing. I look forward to it every year. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:37:12 We will draw for our secret Santa. We don't really call it that. We'll figure out what the game is. Before we head off for Thanksgiving. So today, tomorrow, Wednesday. We'll draw, get our person, figure out the game. The theme. Yeah, and then try to figure out what we're going to fight about ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:37:26 And then try to cut that out, but then try to figure out what else we're going to fight about. Also, here's this one. Not sure if I missed it, but have lunchbox ate the three pounds of food that he is supposed to eat. Bye. Love the show from North Dakota. Thank you for calling. That is a funny, funny bit that we keep forgetting to do. where simply it's if we weigh three pounds of food and he goes okay and then he eats all of it will he weigh exactly three pounds more once he weighs himself because it weighed three pounds yes and i don't know why we haven't done that yet why haven't we
Starting point is 00:37:55 i have no idea but i know i make money if i can make it complete it he does how much how much 10,000 there is no way i would commit it to that right might it's like 50 bucks or something no it's over let us figure out what the bid is again because that's a funny bit i'm here for it let's figure it out Here's Amy's pile of stories. An etiquette expert was saying that a lot of people are eating peas all wrong. So if peas are going to be served at Thanksgiving... Eating peas wrong? How do you eat peas wrong? Well, tell me, how do you eat peas? Well, first of all, you open your mouth, and you take a spoon or a fork, and you put them in your mouth, and then you chew and then you swallow.
Starting point is 00:38:33 That's about all I know. Black-eyed peas, green peas? What? Yeah, peas. Any peas, I guess. That works. You snort them? I was picturing green peas, but you're right.
Starting point is 00:38:42 Black-eyed peas could work. But apparently you should never shovel, or... scoop them with fork or a spoon. Instead, you use your knife like a backboard to gather some peas together and then you spear a bunch of them at once. I'm going to tell you if I'm doing this, it's going to be the worst etiquette. I'm going to miss. Just let me go with the fork Mr. Etiquette guy because there's no way any of us are, we're going to look even more hillbilly than we are if we're trying what is supposed to be fancy. Well, I'm just saying this is the proper way. If you want to bust it out at the family meal, you can teach everybody. Like a sort of like soup.
Starting point is 00:39:13 You know you're supposed to eat soup? Do you know? How? I know you're supposed to eat soup, yes. How do you do it? Well, it depends. If my wife is not going to be judgmental of me, I will ask for extra bread and basically eat the soup through the bread.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Oh. And I will take the bread and just dip it and eat the bread. Like a sponge? Yes. And she's like, hey, we're not Mountain Pine right now. And I'm like, don't talk about Mountain Pine, Oklahoma. Then she's like, good point. And then we move on from that.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And then she puts a napkin in my lap because I usually get food all over. me. And so then she's like, you eat like a seven-year-old. And then I say, I'm trying to get better. And then we finish dinner and go home and we have the whole conversation. It's the whole thing. But yes, soup with a spoon. Okay, yeah. But I go backward. Yes, that's it. You're supposed to. What do you mean backward? So you take your spoon. I only do this because I worked at a fancy restaurant as a waiter and a busboy. You take your spoon. Okay. You go in from the front. Okay. It's like if you were wiping your butt front to back. Oh. You go from the front of the soup bowl and come to your mouth.
Starting point is 00:40:12 What is the difference? How, I can't do that. I don't think I've ever done that. Yeah, only do it because I worked at a fancy restaurant. Wow. I don't understand. Yeah, you take the spoon like you go back. Look, this is the bowl.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Yeah, yeah, but why would you? It's so much easier to bring it like a suit you. You can flip it from farther up. No, that's not why. Okay. I have some embarrassing moments that a lot of people can relate to. Like, these are the things that just really get us all feeling weird if we do them, okay? Hoop our pants.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Oh, shoot. Gotta be on the list. That did not make it. Happened to me once. It's terrible. That would be pretty embarrassing. It's awful. I'll give you the top five things people are most embarrassed about.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Five, deep liking something on social. Like if you're scrolling way back. Or you're just like cyber stalking someone. Like there have been people in this business that, let me go check out their profiles and see what they're up to. See what they're up to. So if I like their work or maybe want to work. And I'll be like six months ago.
Starting point is 00:41:05 They're doing like some funny bit. And I'm like, oh, that's cool. Oh, God. I liked it from six months ago. Yeah. That is, that's a nightmare It's a deep leg When the door says pull
Starting point is 00:41:16 But you push I don't mind that one That happens all the time When you try to take a sip of something And completely miss your mouth No I don't do that one that much Yeah so far I'm so good
Starting point is 00:41:26 Falling is tough though It's embarrassing Like you trip Well that's the number one Like ice is hilarious If it's not you No yeah terrible if it is you Man it's when old people falls
Starting point is 00:41:37 I don't like that I don't like that That's bad So since tripping or falling in public is number one. Number two is texting the wrong person, which I guess it just depends on what you've said. Well, this is what I did the other day.
Starting point is 00:41:49 We have a text thread. It's me, Morgan number one, a couple of the people that, in my little management group, and it was one of the people's birthdays. And so I was texting Morgan about it. Hey, la, la, except I sent it to the whole thread, including the person who's birthday it was.
Starting point is 00:42:03 All I did was see her name up on the front of that text thread, and I just hit it and was like, hey, so for the birthday. And I realized I pushed the whole voice memo through. It's like, oh my God. So what does the birthday person say? Thank you. Sounds like a good idea.
Starting point is 00:42:16 They said I don't think I'm supposed to hear this. Oh. Yeah. Cody Johnson revealed that he got a tattoo on the bottom of his foot. I saw that. That's got to hurt. That means you run out of space, though. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:27 It's got to be painful. I do a butt cheek before the bottom of the foot. Same. Just because bottom of the foot, you have, one, it's going to hurt, very sensitive. And two, you have to, like, use it to step on. Yeah, he said, uh, The tattoo is a nod to Waylon Jennings lyric that's, I've always been different with one foot over the line. And so the tattoo is one and then the apostrophe for the word foot.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Well, then that's good because it's not a big one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's one. You said the bottom of the foot? Yeah, bottom of the foot. But still, that, would you, are you going to get another tattoo? I don't have plans to just simply get tattoos. It would just be spur of the moment. If you died or something, I'd probably get your head or something.
Starting point is 00:43:05 Oh, that'd be nice. Cool. We should all do that. We've been close for a long time. And so. Yeah. But that would be a. a reason I would do that because something
Starting point is 00:43:11 would happen. Okay. But don't die. I don't want a tattoo. Like Amy's face with a date on it? I don't know if I do face because as you get older, they also get older in the tattoo because their skin stretches. The wrinkle skin? Yeah. So that's okay. That means they're aging just like they would. I want to remember this Amy
Starting point is 00:43:27 right here. The Amy that we love dearly. I don't want to remember her later on. Tusha. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. We talked yesterday about you going to Home Depot to get some stuff for Christmas. What did you get? Yeah, well, so I got little miniature trees for my kids, for their rooms, but then... Is that the plant you were talking about, miniature trees?
Starting point is 00:43:46 Yeah, but it looks like a Christmas tree. And then we got many string lights to put around that and lights to throw like a light net that throws on bushes in your front yard. I feel like... Oh, that's cool. It looks Christmassy. It looks really cool. And then... Or like you're trap in a bush. I feel like we're going to have to go back because Stevenson is slowly convincing me to get the Grinch stealing Christmas inflatable. That's a commitment to put a I know, I know. They had that there? Yeah, and he was obsessed with it and I was like, oh, I don't know, we'll think about it and like, it's all he talked about before bed. Your yard is not large. Right. I mean, we could put in the backyard. Put it on the front porch. Something like that,
Starting point is 00:44:23 but yeah. The Home Depot has the right tools and the perfect decor to transform your home for the holidays. The Home Depot has Black Friday savings all month long. Find the perfect gifts for every doer on your list or something for you. Holiday prep starts here. The Home Depot. It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. Science, biology, love. I don't know. This is an awesome story.
Starting point is 00:44:46 In Texas, this person found a bunch of orphaned puppies. They'd just been born, but they didn't have a mom anywhere near. And so they thought they were guessing nine, ten, eleven days old. So they took them to the animal shelter, and they were like, all right, bottle feed them.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me?

Starting point is 00:47:17 My dad gave me the best advice. ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come, look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

Starting point is 00:48:29 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,
Starting point is 00:48:48 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.
Starting point is 00:49:03 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 at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. I think this is a pretty good class. California students, K through 12, they have to learn literary skills but also now there is
Starting point is 00:49:21 part of the class that teaches people how to know if it's fake news or not. Oh, that's good. Something we didn't have to learn because we didn't have all social media telling us lying to us at times that looked like it was the truth.
Starting point is 00:49:35 I mean, I just got tricked like a second ago. There was some post about a Dallas Cowboys guy got arrested. No, it was fake account. Oh. Fake news. So now they have put in this
Starting point is 00:49:45 Assembly Bill 873, which requires a state to add media literacy to curriculum frameworks that actually teaches you how to tell the difference. Sometimes it's really hard to tell though. Oh yeah. But yeah. Overall, only 7% of adults have a great deal of trust in the media. And I'd like to think that 7% because those are our listeners. That's the 7%.
Starting point is 00:50:04 They know we might be wrong, but they know we're not going to purposefully lie to them. Right. We just are idiots sometimes. Just misinformation. Yeah. Yeah. Not disinformation. misinformation.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Yeah, we're all just a little misunderstood. Hey, we're trying, man. We're going as hard as we can here. We're just sometimes, we're like you. Shooting from the hip. We just say stuff sometimes. So that's from cowmatters.org. Thought that was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Dumbest class you ever had to take, though. In high school or college, in high school, we didn't have a whole lot of classes. Small school. College, I ended up taking, and I liked it. But I took racquetball and I was amazed. I took bowling, too. I was amazed you could get credits for that. Yeah, I did power walking.
Starting point is 00:50:43 That's dumb of mine. That's a good one. Did you actually have to show up? Yes, and it's harder than you would think, because you are graded. You can't run. There's a fine line between a slow jog and a power walk. Amen, amen. And you have to get it just right.
Starting point is 00:50:58 You? I took non-speaking Spanish, but I failed that one. So, like, I thought I did non-speaking because I came from a speaking household thinking I was going to ace it. I failed it. Oh, I thought you meant like non-speaking where you didn't say a single word. And everybody just trusts each other than no Spanish. No.
Starting point is 00:51:13 No, no, no. It was called life and transition. was high school freshman year and it was like supposed to teach you how to adjust to high school life, note taking, organize your binder, everything. But mine was the second semester because some people took it first semester. Mine was second semester. So I'd been high school for six months. And it was like, we're already doing, here you need to put tabs in a binder. And it was like, you had already transitioned. I've already transitioned. Good for you, man. Good for you, man. All right, thank you. Let's go over to Amy and get in the morning corny.

Starting point is 00:51:55 Yeah. Gravy, baby. Dang it. Yeah. Gravy, baby. You're going to say like Austin Power, then. That is gravy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:06 You don't like groovy, though, gravy. Oh, okay. Because he says groove. I know he does, so I thought. Did you change the joke from what it said? You thought gravy was wrong? No, no. It said groovy.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Gravy. Gravy. No, gravy, baby. Gravy. You know what it's funny, guys. That was the morning corny. Cool, cool, cool, cool. All right, thank you guys.

Starting point is 00:55:30 Will you play it with the beat? Cheese sticks. See, cheese sticks. That can't be it. But you were just saying something. It's something bourbon, but I don't know what it. Bourbon cheese sticks? Is it cheese sticks, Ray?
Starting point is 00:55:44 No. Okay. Eddie? I put Bourbon Street ribs. Let's try it. Get the Burbin Street steak with the orange steak. No. I have Bourbon Street steak.

Starting point is 00:56:37 Honey. Honey. Jam. Okay, next one. I was willing, but she wasn't ready. So I settled for a . And a grape snow cone. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Dropped her all furly, but I didn't go home. One, two, three. Burger. Yeah. For a burger and a grape snow cone. A drop her all curly, but I didn't go home. Okay, go ahead. I ain't saving all my shoe before a Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Seven days a week, I got an appetite. Sunsets like a f*** ever seen. Don't waste another mile. I'm in, but I'm only like 60%. Do you have an idea? Apple pie. Apple pie. I think it's three syllables because I think it's,
Starting point is 00:57:21 Sunsets like a ba-da-da. Yeah, like what's like a sunset? I think it's a tangerine. Oh, that's probably it. That's it. Yeah, orange sunset. Yeah, orange sunset. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:32 No, I get it. And it's sweet. Like a tangerine. Let's find a road we've never. I know pretty good about it, about what. Can I ask the question? La fish or what? What would an apple pie sunset be?
Starting point is 00:57:46 Yeah, I don't know. But it's circular. It could kind of get that. Pie seemed to rhyme with me, with whatever. With sweet? We need to go back to rhymes. I don't know what I was, I don't know. No, I just didn't know if there was such things that Apple Pie Sunset.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Because it does sound like something you could use in a different country song. We were there watching that apple pie sunset. And people would go like, dang, that is good. That's a good dog. Yeah. It's like brown. Yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Oh, yeah, brown sun. You're my ice cream from the day that we met. It's a pie's a round. Eating under an apple pie, sunset. A round. Oh, that's good round, yeah. I see what we were doing there. I won.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Of course. Are there two more? I can do them for fun. These are mine. This is my victory lap. Go ahead. When it's hot, eat a root beer. What?
Starting point is 00:58:35 Hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't play. When it's hot eat a root beer. Go ahead. When it's hot, eat a root beer I'm not going to only be one thing. Well, there could be two because if he just had drink a root beer,
Starting point is 00:58:49 it'd have been different. What do you say? Eat a root beer. So it can either be a root beer float or a root beer popsicle. That's the only two things that can be to eat a root beer. There's only one. You can't eat a float because it's ice cream.
Starting point is 00:59:00 A popsicle doesn't fit there. Root beer, popsicle. Yes, it does. Yeah. You can make it fit. Okay. In about a dollar? Yeah, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Okay. Get your wallet out. Go. And it's hot, eat a root beer pops. I'm a dollar. It's a yummy one. Comey one. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:20 I'll let you make a dollar. I don't know what the next one is, but lunchbox can have this one. And if he gets it right, he can have his dollar back. Thank you. But if you lose it, you give me $2. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Go ahead. You got this, dude. You got this. Play it again, listen to it. I never knew that's what he was saying. Let me tell you. Come on. It sounds like the audio's messed up, but I got it.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Go. Pizza slice. No, what the? I would have guessed. The pizza slice? Oh, that's, I mean, it's fine. It's a cheeseburger he's talking about. I don't think that's a fine guess because I was like.
Starting point is 01:00:06 The next word was slice. I would think you could slice. So cheeseburger in. I didn't know what I said heaven on earth with a, I didn't know that. Heaven on earth with the pizza sauce. So it could be lettuce, onion, tomato. What? Cheese.
Starting point is 01:00:23 It's already cheese burger. In paradise. Heaven on earth. Heaven on earth with the cheeses is a slice. Letters slice. Potatoes slice. With an onion slice. With a pizza slice.
Starting point is 01:00:38 A pie. That was wrong. I'm going to go with tomato or onion. I'm going to go with the tomato. Because tomato would go, I'm going to go onion. Ew. That's all I figured out of syllables. You want me $2.
Starting point is 01:00:53 That was easy. Paradise. Jimmy Buffett there. Thank you all. Play my song. You're unbelievable. I love it. Love to dove.
Starting point is 01:01:06 Good job, dude. Yes, thank you very much. Are you, are you undefeated when you play games? No. No, no, no, no. Maybe. Not at all. No, I lose sometimes.
Starting point is 01:01:15 When? Name it. I can't, but I lose something. I don't play enough to name every time. All right, thank you guys. Bobby Gonshow. There's a voicemail from over the weekend. I just wanted to pose a question to the room.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Do you guys think that it's still catfishing if it is the person. in the photo, but they don't really look that good. Maybe the photos are a few years younger, maybe a few pounds less, maybe there's some editing going on. Do you guys consider that catfishing if someone shut up to the date? And it's them, you recognize them, but you're also like, that's not what I thought I was talking to. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:01:51 Great question. Let's go to Morgan. Morgan, you're on an app and you meet a dude and he doesn't look like the picture, but it's that guy. Yeah, this happened to me. Really? Did you feel like you were catfished? I didn't feel like I was catfish, but I definitely felt a little uncomfortable
Starting point is 01:02:06 because, like, it felt like he wasn't secure or confident in himself in that phase of his life, like when he showed up to meet me. Do you feel like he was baiting you with a better version of him? Yes, for sure. It definitely was like a, it was like a bait and switch situation. Bate, here's hot me switch, here's ugly me. In a way, like. I could never do that because I would be so nervous.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I would almost want to have an uglier picture up because then it'd be like, surprise, I'm hotter. Yeah. Not the other way where you actually see their eyes go, oh, God. How do you react whenever, and do you react whenever he doesn't look like him? I didn't react. Like, I think my brain reacted. Like, there was definitely wheels turning to my brain. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:52 But I went through with the date and we hung out for like two hours. Oh, so you liked him? No, I just like, I'm really bad at it. conversation. I'm really bad at being like, okay, I'm leaving. So I just went through with it and like did the date, but I didn't talk to him after that. It just started everything off kind of like it felt like
Starting point is 01:03:10 on a lie. So you wouldn't say that's catfishing though, but you would say it is a bit dishonest. It's, it's dishonest and it's definitely like, it's kind of a flag where you're like, okay, what else is going on? Misleading. Yeah. Hold on. Lunchbox, what do you have to say? Yeah, I want to say this. So when you show up to a date, do you let
Starting point is 01:03:26 them know you're wearing spanks or a push up brawl? Okay. No, I'm honest question. But is that? That's misrepresentation the same way because you think you're getting this hourglass figure and you get her home and you're getting a muffin top. I mean, am I right? You think you're getting double-d's and you're really getting C's. It's like, whoa.
Starting point is 01:03:44 He's not wrong. It's misrepresentation the same way. You are altering your look to make yourself look better just like he did in the picture. Well, Morgan's example is a guy, but this can go both ways. Like, yes. But his example specifically, I mean, responded. that. Push-up bras and what do you say? Spanx. Spanx.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Okay, no. So now if the guy colors his hair Great rebuttal. Whiteens his teeth. Yes. But right. If you have a problem with misrepresentation, then you have to hold the same standards to the woman. I think the issue here is
Starting point is 01:04:20 a sphinx or a pusher brawl are not going to alter things that drastically. You sure? What? Then why do you wear them? Because it feels, shape, where it feels good. But it's not It's not this like drastic difference. It turns the muffin into a breadstick. Stop.
Starting point is 01:04:36 It absolutely doesn't. It slims it down. It crams it in. I can't. We do a lot of things in the current to make ourselves look and feel better. Right. I think that's different than using an old picture of you from 10 years ago that you can't even get back to. Very different.
Starting point is 01:04:50 I understand why you feel the way you do. But I don't think it's exactly the same. He is. You mad at her? I'm mad at all you guys ripping on this dude. Nobody ripped. She just said it made her feel uncomfortable because she felt like it was dishonest of him. Did you put makeup on for that date, Morgan? Yes, but I will tell you, hold on. I do. Well, I guess if you put clothes on then that account.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Right. Can I respond to you? Like, I don't disagree with you. I do think we filter ourselves and stuff. But I make sure on my profile, like, even when I got bangs, I put new pictures up because I look like a different person. You're going to make sure that they're not surprised by what they're seeing by what they saw. Yeah, so like, however I show up every single day is how my dating profile looks. And as long as you show up as who you are every single day, then I'm cool with that. So you have a variety of photos? Yes. So you, I mean, I'm full body. I'm close up.
Starting point is 01:05:39 You see everything about me. So if I'm putting myself out there in that full way, I feel like the guy should also. How did this turn on Morgan? I mean, it was literally I went to Morgan to answer and lunchbox got so mad. It's just got mad at women in general. In general. He's just like. But you see my point.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I see why you think that's a point. But I don't think... Oh, you kind of side with me. No, no, no. But I don't think it's the same point because, like Amy said, guys do it too. Yeah, there's shapewear for men. And not only that, you're dyeing the hair. They do have spank for them.
Starting point is 01:06:08 All that. Anyway, Morgan, thank you. Lunchbox, take a breath. Eddie, who side do you on? I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I'm not on your side. It's not the same. So it's like if Eddie wears a hat? It's misrepresentation.
Starting point is 01:06:20 But you know, people know. If I'm wearing a hat. Lunchbox wants a full body naked. wants to see your medical records and anything less than that. No, no, I'm saying if you're going to get to him for having older pictures and you better not have any. No, older pictures is different. It doesn't matter. Thank you, Morgan. You're welcome. So is it catfishing or not? No. It's misrepresentation.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Yes, I wouldn't have wanted to go out with it. It's... Let's do the news. Bobby's big. Stories. A Philadelphia radio station is, and has pulled all Taylor Swift off the air leading up to tonight's Eagles and Chiefs game. Why? Oh, it's in Philly. It's in Philly. Oh, got it. It's pretty much. That makes sense. So they kicked all Taylor off all the time.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Travis Kelsey plays with the Chiefs. Obviously, Dayton Taylor Swift. She's a Chiefs fan now, so that's it. I mean, everyone knows that, right? Like, isn't that crazy? I know, like, you just in case people don't know it, but everyone knows that. Kind of, yeah. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:07:15 If you're listening to us now, you probably know it. You're the type of person that would probably know. Sure. I don't know that everybody knows. Oh, if you're here with us, you know. The Chiefs and the Eagles tonight, which, by the way, is a rematch of the Super Bowl last year. Yeah, because the brothers.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Who won that one, Amy? I don't remember. The Eagles. Nope. Dang. 50-50. Yeah, is it awesome. Fed sees a billion dollars in fake handbags and shoes from a storage unit in the largest counterfeit bust in U.S. history.
Starting point is 01:07:44 One B, not one M. One M would have been like, wow, too. One B, one billion dollars. That's a big storage unit. Holy moly. A storage facility in Manhattan was the side of the largest counterfeit good seizure in U.S. history. Well, you know, they got some good stuff. If I was part of the crew that sees it, I've been picking out like the best product. Goochie stuff. That one looks real enough.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Let me have that one. That's crazy. Two men were arrested. One point three billion in fake handbag shoes, clothes and other accessories. We went to New York a long time ago. Me and Jill, who was a co-host on the show when the show very first started. We went to watch David Letterman. And we were both Letterman fans. I was probably 24. She's probably 22. When we went to New York, never been in New York at that time, and she's like, I want to go to a counterfeit place and get some stuff. I was like, me too. And so we go and we don't know what to do, so we just ask somebody, where do we get the fake
Starting point is 01:08:36 stuff? And they don't want to answer that out loud because you can be, you know, the law. Yeah. And they're like, no, I can't tell you that. I don't know what you're talking about. So we asked a couple people, and then finally someone came up to us and goes, you're the one's asking about stuff? They follow us.
Starting point is 01:08:54 they walk us down into an underground. We should have never gone because we were very vulnerable. Because we went in through the back of a little store underneath, walked through like a tiny little alley into another back of a building. What? Then they would turn lights on. It was like and then it was just everything. Wow, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:09:14 It's crazy. I ended up buying like some sunglasses and they broke like an hour later. Yeah, because they weren't real. They weren't real, yeah. But it was fun. But afterward I was like, I was an idiot. I should not have done that. I should not have let...
Starting point is 01:09:25 Very dangerous. I wasn't too good to buy counterfeit stuff. I'm still okay with that. It's how dangerous it was. A Frozen Four is in the works. Parents, how do we feel about that? I mean, I didn't think they were still making Frosons. Oh, like the movie Frozen Four.
Starting point is 01:09:40 I remember the first one, but that's it. Oh, boy. Let it go. Let it go. Yeah, they need to stop. They're not going to let it go if they're making money. Right. There's no word yet on who is in for the fourth film, but apparently Frozen Four,
Starting point is 01:09:52 which if I were running Disney I would try to do things that were easy money makers and I would assume this would be an easy money maker. It was like Toy Story they had 19 of them. Four or five or something. A firefighter in Michigan was accused of arson after he was caught actively fighting a fire that he started.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Officials in Chippewa County said they were called to a fire Saturday evening. It was the third fire in the area over the past few months. They watched a surveillance video from a gas station across the road and they identify the person who set the building on fire. That same person, Joseph Carl Holder 35, is a
Starting point is 01:10:25 volunteer firefighter who had been working with the White Fish Township Fire Department for months. He was arrested, being held on bond. He was, and is now a person of interest in the other two fires from Clickon Detroit. So, my thing is, does he like to see stuff burn or did he just want to fight a fire?
Starting point is 01:10:41 Yeah, like he was bored. Since he's a, because think about the Instagram pictures you get. You're fighting a fire. You're a volunteer, so that's like a big deal. Look at me, I'm fighting a fire. You know? And he probably responded real quickly too because like yeah could it be practice but that's not practice if you're really putting out of fire
Starting point is 01:10:59 that's a real fire on a real property yeah you know or maybe he was hoping to get called up to act him instead of just volunteer he wanted to show he was yeah how good he was yeah dummy police are looking for five men who stole meat from a refrigerated truck early in the morning in south philadelphia
Starting point is 01:11:15 one thief told the driver listen we're hungry we're just going to take a little but then he pointed to his hip suggesting he had a weapon And then they stole 15 boxes of beef worth about $8,000. That's not just a little, though. Maybe they were hungry, though. But that's too much if you're just hungry. Big family.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Six ABC. A lot of Mousdafi. Yep. That's too much, though. That's what, Robin Hoods? But you don't know that they're rich. You don't know who you stole from. They might be struggling.
Starting point is 01:11:40 Hey, Thanksgiving, man. Oh, I didn't think about that. What does that mean? Thanksgiving men. They got to feed their family's coming town. They got to have the spread ready. Not with a gun. You don't need that much beef.
Starting point is 01:11:50 How big is your family? you a gremlin? Fifteen people. Legal action is sought after an Arizona breeding company has 260 small animals that they were holding, keeping, and feeding to reptiles. Oh, that's terrible. Yeah, these animals were supposed to be placed in for adoption, but instead they were used as food. Were they, were they like dogs? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:12 Oh, were they? I'm not going to go too descriptive into it, but the breeder who was breeding the animals was using him as feed instead of what? Oh, man. That's terrible. A Tennessee man is popped for a DUI while operating a Santa train. Oh, no. Like, are there kids on it?
Starting point is 01:12:33 Yeah, a tractor full of kids during a Christmas parade. Yeah, he can't do that. I mean, the parade, he is driving slow. No. Yeah, but it's a pretty so. He must have fun and a parade. He's being jolly Santa. Yeah, the incident went down.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Witnesses to say that Henry Meade was driving Santa's train radically. Ah! Check this out. Not only did Mead fail a sobriety test The cops found meth, narcotics, and a syringe Whoa, whoa, whoa, he went hard. He went really hard. That's from the messenger.
Starting point is 01:13:02 How do he get the job to begin with? I mean, I think if you just look like Santa, I don't think there's much really going to do it. But you don't need to look like Santa to drive a train. Yeah, because it's Santa's train. But Santa can have its own conductor and Santa can be in there too. Oh, right. Technically, you should probably look like an elf, right?
Starting point is 01:13:20 Santa's helper. I just think if you put the uniform on, you're just, you're a conductor. That's it. That's all I got. That's the news. Those were Bobby's big. Stories. Dirk Spendley's birthday today. He's 48 years old. Dirk is an awesome dude. Like we love when he comes by.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Love him as a guy. He has so many hits. Top five streaming songs. Number five, Burning Man. Number four, black. Make my world go black. Number three, what was I thinking? What was I thinking?
Starting point is 01:13:50 Number two, somewhere on a beach. Somewhere on a beach. Number one, drunk on a plane. I'm getting drunk on a plane. I saw where he said he had not had a drink for two years. Yeah. Like recently? Yeah, it was an article.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Wow. Yeah, so happy birthday, Dirk's. Some stuff that we've pulled from Dirk's overtime, and especially on the Bobbycast, where I sat with him for an hour. In this episode, we put it back up. Just go search for the Bobbycast. Dirk Spentley got a job at the Nashville Network when he came to town, researching old footage of country performances,
Starting point is 01:14:16 and he played bars and worked on demo tracks at night, and he talked about how he'd give his music out to anybody that he thought could help him because he was working kind of, in the industry, but he was a video guy. It wasn't, here you go. Yeah, we worked at Tina. The building's gone where we used to work. It was across the street from the Opry House,
Starting point is 01:14:30 and it was when Tina and CMT were going to all pack together. And I was just doing anything I could at that point. I was working on music, and anyone I thought could be of help with, like, you know, hearing that and help me maybe put in someone's hands or get it kicked out of door was the point. Yeah, I was recording songs. I was playing downtown on Lower Broadway.
Starting point is 01:14:48 I was riding at, you know, at ASCAP and the little riders room and they have upstairs where they allow anyone to ride in. So it's just kind of a thing. I'm just a shotgun blast that put his much stuff out there and see what would stick. He's a pilot. And so he talks about how he'd fly two shows and from shows. And I would just be tired.
Starting point is 01:15:06 It's like, ah, you gotta go. It's like driving home. But except you could die a lot easier if it didn't go right. But he talked about Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney, you know, started his dream of wanting to fly. And then I flew with Kenny Chesney one time coming back and a show in a private jet, my first time ever at a jet.
Starting point is 01:15:21 I was like, this is unbelievable. It was back in 2003. I made signature my password in my computer. And so every time I had to get on my computer, I had to type the word signature. And I was like, I want to own a jet. I always look at planes and these guys go, that's Tim McGraths. He's, he's, he's up there flying that plane to the gig today. It was a charity gig we were doing.
Starting point is 01:15:37 He's like, yeah, I'm getting my pass license and he was flying this cool plane. Well, he was an instructor flying to a gig, multitasking. And so I went up the next day and started flying that instructor. And now he flies all the time. And he's drunk on a plane. People are like, you're a pilot. You can't have this song. It's like, it's a joke.
Starting point is 01:15:51 One final clip, Dirk's Bentley, 48 today. He once tracked down a music exec in a parking lot to play him a song, and then that went on to be his first number one. What was I thinking? But he actually wanted another song to be his first single. And she met me outside and I played it for acoustically outside the club. Oddly enough, I fought really hard for that not to be the first single. So what did you want to be the first song called Wish It Would Break, which is more of a country thing. It's about your wish it would break. It's about your, wishing. It's a great song. But Mike Dungan from Capitol was like, we're going to close it again. And you're glad it did. Yeah. The interesting thing is, he's a lot of the car stereo. It's about it. Yeah. The interesting thing is, He went and played the song on guitar, not just played her a song. Like, here, listen to this. Put this in your ear. No, he has his guitar. Listen to me sing. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:16:30 That's awkward. But it worked out. Favorite Dirk's Bentley moment ever, Amy? Here, probably in the very beginning. It was maybe one of the first times that he came in and performed. He sang come a little closer. It was pretty fun when he said, come a little closer, Amy. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Lunchbox in the world. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's when I saw Dirk's Bentley at the grocery store and he had forgot his wallet. Oh, yeah, that's good. And I had to pay for his groceries. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:58 I mean, that was pretty cool. He still owes you. A full grocery? No, it was like a bag of grocery. He was doing, he was going to cook with the kid and they had a special like meal planned out. And he was like, uh-oh. And he starts patting his pockets. And I was at the register next to him and I looked up.
Starting point is 01:17:13 And I said, what's up? Dirk's. And he's going, I forgot my wallet. So I paid for his groceries. That's funny. Eddie? Yeah, you always hear about Dirk's like riding his buy. and be adventurous,
Starting point is 01:17:23 what outdoorsman, whatever. But when we were being a lunchbox for outside for some reason, outside the studio, and he came driving, riding his bike down the sidewalk, and we're like,
Starting point is 01:17:31 Dirk's up, guys? Have a helmet on? Yeah, everything. It's pretty crazy. Dirk's is such a good dude. Eddie and I do a show at the Riemann Auditorium.
Starting point is 01:17:40 Every year called the Million Dollar Show, which is all for St. Jude. And Tracy Lawrence was going to play with us. And Tracy Lawrence got sick the day of. And I consider Dirk's a friend. So I was like, Dirk, is there any way you can come and fill in?
Starting point is 01:17:51 Tracy Lawrence couldn't make it. And Dirk's not only showed up like six hours later with his guitar. He also did a Tracy Lawrence song that started off. He did, you find out who your friends are. It was awesome. But I think that pretty much said to that dude is. Yeah. Can I do my real one?
Starting point is 01:18:06 No, you had your real one. I was sort of a joke. I have like a meaningful one. Okay. It's inner engineering. The time you breathed on me. No. That's, I was.
Starting point is 01:18:14 You opened up that door for us to do that. I know. I made a joke. Go ahead. Obviously that was, he was making a joke. when he performed it as well. But inner engineering is a book that he gave me after we adopted the kids.
Starting point is 01:18:28 And he came into the studio to do something and dropped off the book. And I sort of at the time, I guess I wasn't ready for it because I put it away on a bookshelf and then shortly, well, a few years after that when my dad passed away, I found the book on my bookshelf and opened it up and a lot of what was inside of it
Starting point is 01:18:45 was exactly what I needed at that time. And so it was just really special that, you know, that was a gift from me. in. Happy birthday, Dirks. Forty-eight. And that full interview of Dirks just going A to Z with his life and his career is up. Just go search for the Bobbycast wherever you listen to your podcasts. Let's play some Dirks now. Let's play, what was I thinking? Because that was the song he went out with the guitar and he's like, listen to this lady? Hilarious.
Starting point is 01:19:10 You've heard a ghost bagging? Because I'd never heard this term. Lunchbox, I would think maybe you would know what this is. Ghost bagging. Yeah. I know what tea bagging is, but I don't know what ghost bagging is. Maybe like a ghost does it? Yeah, that's what I was saying. I think about that. I thought, I was like, you do it seriously? The ghost puts us nads on your face?
Starting point is 01:19:29 That's what I couldn't. Interesting. No, that's not it. When I first saw ghost bagging, I thought it was somebody like trying to catch a snipe. You know, the joke was always, let's go snipe hunting and there's no such thing. Or there's not, it's not really, I think. Anybody's snipe hunting, it's a joke on them. Sometimes they have a bag and they're trying to catch snipe.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Like maybe ghost bagging was you trying to catch a ghost on a bag. I didn't know. That's what I thought possibly. However, it's so detailed and it's something that criminals do. It's an operation. And it's a pretty good idea. It's got to work all the time. You saw this, right? Yeah, the ghost bag operation, especially because three women were arrested in National. Here. So here's what happened. Southwest Airlines told officers over the weekend that a bag arrived at the airport. No one flew with it. Inside the bag, they found brand new Lulu Lemon clothes, a receipt, a forged driver's license, and a credit card. women then arrived at B&A to pick up the bag. Inside the car, police found $20,000 worth of gift cards, $9,000 worth of receipts,
Starting point is 01:20:25 and merchandise and 10 credit cards. Police said they believed the women were buying clothes using stolen credit card information, then they returned them to different stores to get cash or store credit. Now, ghost bagging itself, it's when a bag is checked onto a plane. It arrives at the destination, but the person doesn't travel with it. Then someone else waits at the arrival point for the bag to come down, who they don't know who it is. They're not logged into anything.
Starting point is 01:20:47 they get it and they go on with it. It's how they move drugs or they do stuff like this. So how do they get caught? Because you don't have, if you're just sitting there at the baggage care, so you just take the bag and you walk out. I don't know how they got caught caught, but I would imagine if I were going to try to ghost bag somebody, or I guess you don't, that's not TV.
Starting point is 01:21:05 If you're ever going to go's a bag situation, I would go and put a bag through up front where they're like, check your bag here, not at the desk. You pay them like three blocks. You tip them and they take it from the front of the airport. Skycap. Whatever that's called.
Starting point is 01:21:20 Yeah. I would do that. Send it through. Then I would walk into the airport and then walk out another door and go about my way. For surveillance reasons? Why would you even walk in the airport? Because I wouldn't want the guy to be like, somebody just dropped a bag off and ran. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Well, it says, so I didn't know if you had to be boarding a flight for your luggage to go on there. You do, don't you? You have to have a ticket. No, Southwest does not require a passenger to accompany their bag on a domestic flight. And so the bags are still screened. But you could just, I guess, go pay. You have to buy a ticket, though. You have to push the bag through because it goes on here.
Starting point is 01:21:58 If not, if I want to ship something, I'm not going to pay UPS. I'm just going to go to the Southwest. It's free. Well, you have to have a ticket. Yeah, but you have to have a ticket. And then they take your bag or whatever. And then you don't have to get on the plane once they take your bag. Correct.
Starting point is 01:22:11 Probably what they do. But how do you buy it? But who's named you buy the ticket? That's what I'm saying. You've got to have a stolen identity from the credit card? A credit card stolen identity? Sure. But even then, like, even like when we travel, someone buys our tickets, right?
Starting point is 01:22:23 Like, it's not, I don't buy my own ticket. Oh, that's an identity. You just need someone's identity of checking under. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty brilliant. Yeah, so then it comes out at baggage check and someone's just waiting there for it. So how do they get in trouble? Well, what happened here is somebody saw something suspicious.
Starting point is 01:22:36 That's why I would walk in the airport. Do the whole thing. Yeah, I'm sure people do this all the time and it's never caught. But this time it was caught because somebody messed up somewhere. Wow. Or maybe in the screening. They opened it and we're like, this doesn't seem right. Let's just watch it and see what happens on the other way.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Like on the way through. That's crazy. Yeah, because they do screen your bags when you check them. They probably screen some of them. Because I've gotten little tags in there and say your bag's been screened. Absolutely. But not every time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:03 You just hope, hopefully you don't get unlucky. That's pretty best. The first person that did that, man, they probably got a raise in their cartel. They were like, you gave us a great idea. What's it called? Ghostbagging. Ghostbagging. I like it.
Starting point is 01:23:16 And then to have all that in the car, though, you got to, leave it to house. Oh man. They had $20,000 worth of gift cards in the car. A lot of gift cards. That's awesome. It'd be terrible. But that's a lot of gift cards. Yeah. That's it. Okay, well, the ghost bagging. So when someone asks you, you know what it is now.
Starting point is 01:23:32 But I thought that was a pretty interesting way that people, they're probably moving drugs and money and ways that we don't, we won't even know about it for three or four years. Then we'll be like, wow, I can't believe they were doing that. And the fact that keyster things is still amazing to me. And that's old school. You stick in your butt and you get it in prison. That's still, I don't know why people do that. That's how you get it in. Or sometimes they'll make people swallow it.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Sure, and then they wait a couple days. Would you rather swallow it in a balloon or keester it? Swallow it. Swallow. I'd rather keister. You'd rather it go. Why? Yeah, because then it'd probably not be good initially.
Starting point is 01:24:07 But I couldn't die of it. Right. If they put it up there and it blows up, you can die. It's not going to blow up though. Like if you're going to keyster, if you're going to get in a. A cell phone, a small cell phone. Yeah, it's just in your booty. You put it in your butt or you got to swallow it.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Cell phones aren't small, dude. They get little flip ones out. Like my iPhone? That would hurt. You're not keyster that. You're not going to keystered that. Okay, okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:24:31 Let's say you were trying to smuggle in five quarters. Magical quarters. Now, would you rather keester the five quarters or swallowed them in a balloon? Let me see a quarter. And five of them are together, like stacked. Oh, that's cool. So five quarters stacked, would you either swallow them in a balloon
Starting point is 01:24:49 or keester them that way? Swallow them. Swallow them. I don't think you could swallow a quarter. I'd keester that and then I'd keester that. Okay. Give me your stuff too. I'll take yours in too. Gladly. Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:05 There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her frenzy. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
Starting point is 01:25:34 I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe.

I went and had lunch with them one day.
Starting point is 01:26:21 And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means. but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:37 He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar
Starting point is 01:26:54 of, you know, the cat, just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be... Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

This story comes us from Sheldon, Iowa. A 64-year-old man was arrested after he got upset.
Starting point is 01:28:23 set at his neighbor's plants. Didn't like the way they looked. So you think, oh, he went over and destroyed and broke them all. Nope. He had a bucket of paint, a paintbrush, and went over and did some art on the pottery. So just drew things? Yeah, he painted them because he wanted them to be more attractive. But did you draw like P. Bebeas?
Starting point is 01:28:41 No. Well, that's kind of nice. But it's vandalism. Does it tell me something good? Or is it a beautiful mural? I guess you just can't go paint on other people's stuff. Even if it's nice? No, I can't do that.
Starting point is 01:28:52 I was watching a TikTok from, she's an actress. I recognize you from somewhere, but I don't know. Jennifer Lawrence. No. And she was an artist as well. And so she was in New York. And while they, this place had been like condemned and they were turning it into a new place. But she didn't know what it was going to be.
Starting point is 01:29:11 And it was literally just old boards and stuff. And so she went and she takes a marker and she draws all these little fun shapes on this old piece of crap building that they're going to tear down. So the new people come in to build a restaurant. but they keep her drawings. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, and like the wood that she drew it on, it's still up there. And so she goes up to the place and she's like, hey, I'm sorry. I drew this.
Starting point is 01:29:33 This was an old piece of crap building. I did it on TikTok. I was just drawing it to make it. And they were like, it's awesome. We finish it and do the rest of it. So she drew the rest on the, it's awesome. That's cool. Yeah, that's cool.
Starting point is 01:29:43 Wow. And you know what's cool? It's murals now. I mean, when they're painted on walls, I'm like, that is fascinating. It's crazy people have that talent. Can they do that? Like, it's a 10-story building and they paint the whole wall and I'm like. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Even just somebody who can draw on paper. Yes. Like a sailboat. With a pencil. Just, I know. Crazy. All right. Well, don't paint people's stuff if it's not yours.
Starting point is 01:30:08 They have a goobie gone makes now a graffiti gooby-gone spray. I don't know what gooby-gone is. Oh, gooby-gone. Goobie-gone, yeah. Do you wipe graffiti off with it? They have, I just thought they had one goobie-gone. That's it. And I was looking at it all because I needed to get some.
Starting point is 01:30:24 And there was like, there's no 20 different options of Gooby Gone. Some for graffiti, some for Superglue. So I mean, whatever you need, they got it. Because I'm saying Gooby Gone. Yeah, it does. Is this a commercial? No. The girl's name is Kate.
Starting point is 01:30:37 Winslet. McEuchy. And she's in a show called Garfunkel and Oates, a comedy show. But I recognize it from another show as well. So anyway, all right, Lunchbox. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Most popular baby names of this last year.
Starting point is 01:30:50 2023. Mostly they stay the same-ish every year. There's like one that kind of creeps up in there. And they're so trendy. I don't know that I don't want to name my kid this because trendy names also aren't trendy. Like a solid name is like Matt. Like you know Matt Matthew is going to be good for 50 years.
Starting point is 01:31:09 I mean, it's been around for... Chris. Christopher. You know that's solid. Most popular boy names. Liam. Now, and you can always track it, back to probably Oasis, the singer.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Liam. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oliver. That's cute. Oliver Twist, man. It feels trendy-ish.
Starting point is 01:31:32 Mateo, there's no way. Mateo, that's gotta be from my culture, man. Mateo. What is it for like, really? Why is it popular now? I wouldn't have thought that would be a Hispanic or Mexican. Oh, yeah, right, right. If you say it like that.
Starting point is 01:31:45 I thought it'd be Matteo from the South. Oh. Maybe. Okay, but the arc's always been here. Why is it trendy again? What Noah is there now? Noah. Cyrus. And then Elijah, biblical name too.
Starting point is 01:32:03 Elijah would. But tricky because I don't think Elijah has always been like a solid name. We didn't have any Elijah's when I was a kid. Eli's. We had Eli's. Eli Manning. Is he Elijah or no? It's Eli Elijah? That's a good question. I don't know. I wouldn't think Eli Manning's Elijah.
Starting point is 01:32:20 I don't know. I don't think so. Girl names. I do like Charlotte as a consistent name. Although I think when we were kid Charlotte would seem like an old woman's name. Well, because it's Charlotte's Webb. Maybe. Sophia 4. I think old women names are back because being young girl names again.
Starting point is 01:32:36 As I look at the list, Amelia 3, same. Emma, two, Olivia 1. It'd be cool to have twins and want them to be Olivia and want to be Oliver, their boy girl. Or if you had two boys, you still name one Olivia and they just got the raw end of the deal. Oh. I like all those girls names. The girl names. I do too.
Starting point is 01:32:52 The girls' names are pretty good. The guy names are fine. They just feel a bit trendy that I'd be risking it in 10 years. You don't like Mateo, man? I think it's Mateo. It depends on how you say it, where it comes from.
