Morning. Welcome to Monday show. Morning studio. All right, we're going to go around the room as we do on Mondays and do a get-to-no question. So I'm going to ask the question to give you guys a second to think about it. What is something you're really terrible at? Something you're really terrible at. I'll go first.

My name's Bobby. I'm going to go with, and I would have said this even if I hadn't been approached about doing it, but will a fortune. I'm so bad at that game. It can be one letter and I'm still like, I don't know. Is it? I don't know. Cleese? No, it's cheesy. That's bad, huh?

I'm terrible at that with letters. So Will of Fortune, it would be the thing that I'm super weak at. Eddie, you? Math. Just math in general. And it's been tough, too, because my son, he's been doing pretty bad at math. And I've been railing him, like, dude, you've got to get better at math. And you've got to do better than this. And deep inside, I'm like, man, I mean, he probably got it from me.

Let's be real. Lunchbox. Man, that's tough because I'm good at a lot of things. so I would say probably beats like rhythm Oh yeah that's impossible for you Yeah yeah yeah you're real bad rhythm Yeah

I don't think you do at you do at I mean I like you're bad at rhythm But he's bad at rhythm Yeah so that wouldn't I get that does that count or do I have to be bad at rhythm Yeah I'm bad at rhythm Yeah I'm bad at rhythm yeah Amy singing

I mean you're okay I mean you're not too bad I mean you're not so bad We would be like Oh You're not to sing what lunchbox is to rhythm. Right.

That's bad. That's bad. Wow, thanks, guys. Yeah, you're welcome. Like, you're not a great singer, but you're not terrible. Yeah. I mean, you ain't good. I mean, so what you were looking for is to tell you're not bad.

So, do you want us to, said you don't have an answer, do you want us to tell you what you're about that? Yeah, driving. Driving. Staying focused. Oh, that's good. Avoiding walls when you walk down the hall. Yeah.

That's a good one, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to stop because I know what's going is if I keep going. That's fine. What's yours? Scams. avoiding scams. Was that your example?

That's good. That's good. Falling for scams. I was stopping. That is right. Was Bill's fortune your example? Oh, yeah. Oh, I got another one.

No, no, that's my thing I'm terrible at. It's Will of Fortune. What's yours? I can't say. Seeing. Mine's also seeing. Oh. I'm terrible at seeing.

Can I do Amy's? No, no more. No more on her. Okay, I won't say it then. Seeing. You know what I'm saying? Oh, seeing. Seeing.

No, I don't know what you're going to say about anyone. You know what he's going to say. No, I don't. I don't, but I don't even want to guess what you're going to say. I have no idea. No, no, it doesn't matter. Okay, one more. What would your warning label say if you had to have a warning label on you?

You going that quick? Yep. Yep. Go ahead. Feed this man or he's about to get hungry. Okay. Lux Fox? Stay back six feet.

Smell strong odor. Amy? I guess my, according to y'all, be like, watch out. Yeah, when I'm driving. Just generally, just to watch out. And always. Do you have one, though? I mean, watch out applies to driving, walking, scams.

Watch out. No, no, scams are coming for you. They're not going to watch out. They're like, hey, come get me. Mine would be something like one of those objects in mirror maybe closer than, it's like death perception does not exist. He can hit you at any point. So, yeah, mine would probably be vision appeared.

Okay, lunchbox, I don't want to hear yours about Amy. Can I please? I just don't want it. I can do one of those things where it's like I make fun of myself before somebody else does because I just figured out what he's going to say. But this is what you should have done is given one you're really terrible at because then they would have cut all of the song. But I did.

You said singing. But I am bad at singing. You know that you're not terrible at singing. I don't know. I am terrible at singing. I am terrible. I am terrible. Today's the day.

Y'all tell me I'm not terrible at singing. We think you should pursue it, actually. Okay. I'm not going to. Do you know what he's going to say? Yeah, I do. I figured it out. What?

What do you think he's going to say? I am smart. No, I'm not going to say that's smart. No, that's not it. No, not it. I'm saying I, that's why I figured out. You're terrible being smart. No, that wasn't it. You are smart, Amy. Yeah, you're smart. I wasn't going to say

that. No, I'm working on using positive language that I was about to say, I'm not dumb, so that's how I figured out what lunchboxes is, but I'm trying not to say the word dumb. So I said, I am smart. I'll figure it out. I figured it out. And it's marriage. He's going to say marriage. Yeah, yeah. That's what he was going to say.

Oh, that's what you were saying. What did you think he was going to say? I didn't know, because that one's like so juvenile. It is. It is. Isn't good at marriage. No, Amy, geez. I don't know why you can't say that. That was it. He was going to say you're terrible at being mean. Yeah.

And you know what? Good job, my advice. That's very nice of you. Wow. I don't know why you think I would go that low. If you want to go that low on yourself, have had it. Okay, well, we're here. Amy's taking shots at herself early.

Yeah. Hey, Amy. Very hard. Okay. You know that's what he was going to say. Time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag.

Yeah. Hello, Bobby. I think I just busted my mom. I'm cheating on my dad. This is a mailbag? Oh no. Hey, people send in all kinds of stuff. It's not like I was snooping, but my mom and I have phones that look identical.

I heard what I thought was my phone buzz with a text message. I realized it was hers, and it wasn't protected with the password. When I opened, I saw her text message screen with some rather disturbing and graphic messages from a dude named we'll call him Jack. For the record, my dad's name is not Jack. Now I feel this massive burden on what to do with this information or if I should do anything. Do I talk with my mom about it? Do I tell dad what's up? Do I use the info to negotiate for a new car for me?

I'm kidding about the last one. Okay. Good. What do you think about this? Signed, son of a cheater? Question marks. Boy, mom and dad's different than friends. I think you have to talk to your mom first.

I don't run to your dad and go, I caught mom cheating. I think you go to your mom and you clear up any confusion if there is any about what you saw and let her explain. And if it's an explanation you're good with, then you'd be good with it. If it's an explanation you're not good with, then you got to go to this stage, which you're at now. And so, but I think if you end up finding out that your mom is cheating on your dad and your dad doesn't know, you've got to go tell your dad. But I think you have the conversation with the mom first to make sure that you're thinking the right thing.

Sometimes we see a little nugget and we tell ourselves an entire story based on what that nugget is that we're not even translating or reading correctly. Just say inappropriate comments and stuff. Really real graphic too. Probably obvious. Jack. Yeah. I don't know how graphic they are. I'm just saying. Who knows?

She can be subscribed to a tech service. Maybe. Oh, role play. Maybe. Maybe. Always go to role play. Maybe. It's like the fourth time.

and I don't know a few weeks, Ramies yelled up roleplay. There could be an explanation. Could, okay. What if the dad is Jack? Maybe. She's Diane. They're working on the button rolls. I don't know.

This happened to my friend, like four years ago. Oh. spouse. So there's two things that could happen. One, you could go talk to your mom about it. She's like, this isn't true. You're either wrong. Let me show you this. This is what's happened. That can happen. Or she goes, I just show it. And I'll, I'll tell them because I'm embarrassed and ashamed. Yeah, this happened to my cousins too. Oh, oh my God. They found an email and then took it to my aunt, which is their mom. And she was the one cheating. And yeah, they're not together anymore. Yeah, man. It's crazy. Anybody else was like, yeah, this happened. So when my parents were

married. That's how so a card was found in the trash. A card? Like a card. It thought it was thrown out. Like a thank you for touching me. I don't know what kind of card

you mean. A credit card. A business card. Like a greeting card. Like a Valentine's or something. Yes, I'm talking about. Why would you even give it? Why would you be exchanging? Valentine's card for your candy, remember? Listen, it was thrown

away, but then somebody found it. Why would you not shredding? With your fingers. They're in love, man. Why would you even bring in the house? Why would you even give somebody handwritten anything when you're... Valid questions.

Wow. All valid questions, but the person that found a ticket to my mom. Oh, wasn't you? No, it wasn't me. I was a kid. No, it was... What do you suggest? This lady that helps clean our house sometimes.

The housekeeper? She turned on your dad? Wow. She loved my mom. Wow. That's crazy. This has got so many layers. She loved my mom.

Okay, so, what do you think here? I cared about her deeply. What do you think? I think you go to the mom. Okay. You talk to the mom. What do you think? Yeah, man.

Just like my cousins, just go to the mom and just see what the thing's all about. Or, I mean, get in your car. No, you got to get to the bottom of it. Yeah, don't run to the dad yet. No, no, no, no, no. It'll get back to him. Lunchbox, what would you do? And you're chilly.

I wouldn't mess with it at all. He's like I didn't see it. Let it live. He's your parents. I understand. And they're parents. But it is your chili because it's your dad. Yeah, man.

He may be getting screwed over. Maybe anonymous email. Bobby's really good that anonymous email. A Barner account. Yeah, but hey, man, I saw your wife out with Jack. Oof. Okay, we're sorry this is happened to you. Son of a cheater.

That's how you signed it. We're sorry it's happened to you. Go to your mom first, let her explain, or let her handle it herself. And also go to therapy. You're going to need it. No child should ever have to read messages from. You did? You read messages?

You saw the card, Amy? No, I'm just saying no child. You just said three things in a row that it doesn't matter. So one time I saw on my dad. I saw a text on my dad's phone and I can't ever unsee it. My eyes. Is a picture? No, it's words.

Oh, it's better. That's better than a picture. Like describing stuff? It was all. I was an adult. Like I wasn't when I was a kid. Obviously there's text messaging. There wasn't.

Is dirty? Listen. It's dirty. Also, why you keep gagging? Okay. Thank you. That's the mail bag.

Close it up. We got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. And Dashboard Confessional, one of my jams back in the early 2000s. So Chris is here from Dashboard. Going on toward Counting Crows.

and you get tickets at dashboard confessional.com. But this is super cool to me. Let me play some of these songs. Vindicated. I mean, that's Spider-Man for sure. Eddie, you remember that song? Yeah, dude, of course. Dang, this song is awesome.

Stolen, or hands down. So, super cool for us. Here he is. Chris Caraba, lead singer, the guy, from Dashboard Confessional. On the Bobby Bones show now. Chris Caraba of Dashboard Confessional. Chris, it's really good to see you.

Good to meet you, man. It's good to be here. Thank you. Been a fan for a long time. Well, I've been doing it a long time. It's suddenly occurring to me now. You still, I don't know, look 24. It's weird. You haven't aged. Moistrarizer. Yes. Hey, so I have a lot of questions, especially about when you first started, because there are a few people to me, Dave Grohl Foo Fighter, started that by himself.

Five for Fighting was a single guy, then turned into a band. Dashboard Confessional. Similar thing, Ryan, you started. This is a project by yourself and then made a band, The Panic of the Disco similar? Is that all kind of, am I right on that story? You write about the fact that it was started by myself and eventually became a band, but I think in my mind in the early days, I know it was true. I was in other bands that were proper bands. I was in one particular call for The Thieves Forever that was, I thought the main thing, you know, and it was only, dashboard was only a side project. But all that to say, the side project was all my friends are on tour and all of their bands.

Wouldn't it be fun if whenever they came home we could all play together. So I'll just call this thing that I'm doing by myself a band name so it doesn't feel like preclusive and it feels inclusive of my friends who come on stage if they're home. And that's not exactly what happened, but it was my original conception for it. So the band is dead. Again, by the way, your record, your unplugged record is one of my favorite. I just loved it so much. But, you know, there's a lot to it.

So how many people are actually in Dashboard Confessional, like the Dashboard? How many people in the band? Well, on this tour. So, yeah, it's all different, right? It's just you are the central figure always. Well, I guess I've been a constant, and there's been quite a few longstanding members, and there's been people that when they, you know, they leave to go and do other, onto other musical projects or other life projects, and then they come back.

It's kind of an open invitation to come on back. So, like, for example, Scott, our bass player's been in the, the band, I think for this will be 20 years. That's a long time, you know. But sometimes I go out by myself, so Scott's not there. So when you're starting this project and you're doing it by yourself, are you recording it on, because everybody has a bedroom story or a garage story. Like, what is that actually, what literally does that mean? Are you recording on like some four-track player? Is that the first dashboard? Were you just sitting there singing acoustically into a crappy closet or microphone? Yeah, it was a little task scam for a track.

But I bought it a tag sale. That was what I started with. That's not what the record was, but it wasn't much better than that. That first record was recorded in a closet. But, you know, it had, you know, foam padding on the wall, so it felt cool. That felt real. But the early demos, I recorded a lot of them in my van. In the back of the van.

I had like just a single boombox. I can not a multi-track. So I have a tape of me running through. through what would be the first record, which is called the Swiss Army Romance. I ran through it all just to see what a cool running order would be, and I found that tape, and it's the running order that we used. Was that about 2000, the year 2000? Yeah, it was 2000. So you have this tape, and was your expectation to go out and tour this for dashboard to exist, or again, was it just a fun thing that your friends could join? Like, I, what was kind of the motivation

behind creating this music with just yourself? I guess it was a glorified art project or something. Did you expect it to ever be heard by people? No, I expected to, what I'd hoped to do was put out the one recording and maybe get lucky and press 1,000 if I could afford it. And sell them how? And sell them to people. Like from the van?

From the van, yeah. And sell them to people at shows. And I had one tour booked. And it was, I think, this one window where it further seems forever wasn't going out. and it looked like just this neat opportunity to go out and travel like just literally by myself but I think it was 11 dates

and then I never went home when did you start to feel traction even the lightest bit of traction where it's wow people actually like understanding and relating to this music I was surprised to find it pretty early on and I don't mean that there was many people at the show there weren't but if there were five

all five seemed to get it whatever that thing was they seemed to get it and I was really shocked by that because I thought I was doing something unfamiliar in the setting of like the punk rock scene. It was definitely unfamiliar just to have an acoustic guitar. I looked like a hardcore kid, but it didn't sound like that kind of stuff. But it didn't sound like something you'd play in a coffee shop either.

So I didn't feel like I would have any place where I would find, I was surprised to find like-minded people so quickly. The term emo is tossed around like crazy. Everything's emo in different ways. was that term prevalent when you started to create this kind of music, or do you feel like you were one of the first ones to really coin that in music? Well, I guess, no, I didn't feel like I was one of the first ones, excuse me, to coin it. Certainly not.

I thought it was a misnomer almost. And that became a four-letter word later to some people. I'm not sure it ever did to me. But in the early days, you know, it was, I thought it wasn't deferential to the people that I listened to that did that music that was already called emo. Because there's been a whole wave of it, a proper wave of like a musical generation of like two to five years already. And so at first I was like, this is weird that they would call me that. And I couldn't quite figure it out, but realized that the thing was evolving.

Whatever that scene was, it was evolving to include, I guess me and my friends. Did you feel like that, because again, your music was at a time when I was, you know, 19, 20, 20, 21 years old. So that music was very important in my overall musical growth from where I was as a kid to now. It was right in that time frame of being in college. Did you find that your music, though, was different to people, even though it was still kind of punk rock? But just because it was on acoustic, that made it feel a bit emo to people? That was a softer feel. Oh, it's emo.

It feels emo. I mean, but I guess because of all those obvious reasons that it's softer. it's a different delivery. It's pretty passionate. And it's got the, it has the benefit of the kind of passion you'll put into something when you think you're anonymous almost. You know, it couldn't conceive that people would really be listening to this. I didn't really hold back for fear of how I might feel doing it in front of people. What did your band think as you started to pop off and you're by yourself that you were in?

Was that tricky? No, actually. Well, it became true. tricky or later when we were two bands operating at the same time once they had a different singer. And we navigated that really well, too, to their credit. But in the beginning, they were the guys that were like, you've got to go do this. And as a matter of fact, one of the first shows I ever had was that was a fish, not, I guess, unofficially a dashboard show was because the bass player of my other band, Chad from Further Seams Trevor said, come over here. We're playing a

festival's further was. He says, there's a guy kind of doing what you're doing. We should go check it out. guy ended up being me. It was a ruse. He just threw me up in the middle of a tent. And there was, you know, 30 people there. That's funny. And that's supportive even. Like it's funny and supportive at the same time. And they're still my best friends that I have. So I'm grateful that they saw where I was going and it wasn't where they wanted to go. They were, all these songs were presented to them as options for us to play in that band. And they were right. They didn't fit that band. They were close, but they weren't on the money. Were you reluctant when success and fame started? I was confused.

Reluctant, yeah, I think I was a bit reluctant. I think I remain a bit reluctant. It wasn't exactly the plan, but it was a lot of fun. Do you get nervous, stage fright at all, before shows? Yeah, but I got it now. How am I doing? Oh, you're doing great. I would never think you were nervous at all. You're kidding now.

No, I'm not. No, no. I have a weird roiling of energy that I'm trying to contain when I go up there. And when I was newer and younger and greener, I would find it to be alarming. It would like set off almost a panic attack. But now I understand it's just adrenaline and excitement and kind of like the love of it. But for a while it was hard to let it go. Was there ever a time that you questioned should I keep doing this? Not because it wasn't working, but because it really started to work?

Yeah, things got a little hairy there. Like where we had to where we had to have like security guys and things like that. And I was all thinking, and I thought this was a really inclusive scene I was from. And it remained so. It wasn't people trying to, like, you know, rip my clothes off or clothes off or anything like that. But it's just like a lot of people with a lot of stories that they wanted, things they wanted to share with us, personal things, what have you. And I remember, like, not being able to go, I don't know, to the mall or whatever it was that you would do. You know, running errands became this weird thing.

and the suggestion was made that we take security. That was the weirdest thing ever. The nicest people I've ever met were these giant security guys. But it was not a good fit for me. I was like, this is bringing more attention. I can put a baseball cap on. How about that? Now can you go out and put a hat on and just live a somewhat normal life?

Yeah, I'm not on MTV anymore. And neither's MTV, actually. I don't think. Yeah, I don't think, you know, there's two. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I've been able to find the thing I'd hoped for in the beginning, which was this path to be able to play music for

and with people without having to be, have my life totally disrupted. What was the first video of yours that was on MTV? What was it? It was screaming infidelities, yeah. Was that weird for you to see? And there's a line, and we'll talk about the tour you doing with County Crows, but I'm a massive fan of Count of Crows,

and Adam Duritz was in, we talked with him for a while, but there's a line even in Mr. Jones like when I look at the television I want to see me staring right back at me you know that line is him wanting to see him on TV yeah if that is that line you at all? No it's not at all

it's not at all God I wish it was I might have had a different experience having seen it but I remember being like I mean I was excited to tell like my friends you know but it was not a thing I walked in with I got used to it really quick, though. Like, I'd get excited and kind of like think about new video ideas.

I got excited about that whole corner of what music could be. And it became really fun. Do you think you would be happier or would have been then happier if you only had mild success where you could support yourself, create your art, but not because there was a point when you just became so popular, it became pop. Your music didn't change, but you became so popular, it became pop. Was that the hardest time for you? Or was it awesome?

It was awesome. It was so great. I didn't really have to change. I did, you know, we grew and our music did evolve. But it wasn't being made to change. And more and more people were gravitating towards it. It was beautiful. I was maybe a little tired, like physically tired.

It's a big world to get to, you know. And I think there was a point where we were really doing, I don't know how many shows it was, but it was like 300 days out on the road. And that was a long stretch. That was a good couple or three years that we did that kind of schedule. That was the only part that was really tough to grapple with.

Was it weirder to be home than on the road? Yeah. Yeah, maybe always will be and maybe always was. So that's something I think was probably good for me in my life. Where did you grow up? Well, I kind of grew up in Connecticut and then Florida. and found music and all that once I moved to Florida. And what about Florida?

Like, were you exposed to a scene there that opened it up for you? Or were you already searching for it? And I don't know, it's warmer, so you're outside. I don't know. Why Florida? Well, I think there was a scene. There was a music scene. Of course, there was one in Connecticut where I lived.

I just didn't know about it. I was a little bit too young, didn't know an older kid on the block that might tell me there was a Youth Today Show or something. But when I got down to Florida, a couple things happened was I was really into skateboarding, and this is pre, you know, super popularity of skateboarding. You still get beat up for having to for looking like you do it. And but I found other people like that that were into it and I hadn't really found that many people like that where I'd grown up in Connecticut.

But it also rains like it's torrential rain in the in the afternoons there a certain time of the years. So we would just like sit in a car or at the skate shop with music playing, and I pick everybody's brains about it. And then they said, you know, they're playing here, whoever it was. You know, we started going to shows. So it was sort of that just typical youth culture thing there, a friend with a driver's license, that kind of thing. Well, like I said, my driver's license, it just didn't have a car.

So a friend with a car. And the kind of meshing of those two worlds, the surf and skate world with the music world, they're really entwined. And that's how I found the music scene, really. My assumption is it could be an unfair assumption that you may have been a shy kid. If you were a shy kid, how in the world did you become a frontman? Wow. Like, what was that pro?

It was not my favorite thing. It was, I should say, it was not my, it was not an endeavor I went into looking for how to be a frontman. I just wanted to play with people. So I guess kicking and screaming is how I got dragged into being a front man, to be quite honest with you. I was really, really interested in writing songs. It's just an okay guitar player, just an okay singer. I was pretty good at arranging music. So I was getting in these bands and felt like I was integral in the band.

But I was almost always just playing guitar. That's what I really wanted to do. But I wasn't like a ripper or anything like that. So I thought we'd be contributing as a songwriter I had a place. Then who goes, okay, Chris, we need you to sing. We've heard you sing like background vocals. That's how it happens. Yeah.

That parts, could you somebody do a harmony there? And I just do it and it was there, you know? And then you come in with your songs and you're singing. I was singing the songs I was writing to the singer, to the rest of the band. And finally somebody got annoyed with the time it took to make somebody else to it. Just you do it. Fine. And after a while of that, you become a singer in the band.

not the singer. This band that I was in vacant Andes, it's where I learned to cut, where I really cut my teeth on all things musical, certainly on all things, like how to be in a band. But there was at one point three singers, and then there was for the length of the band, there was two singers. So there was no frontman. It was we were trading off songs and we were always singing each other songs, singing on each other songs, excuse me. It was later when I got into further and those guitar players are like bananas and as writers they were bananas and I was kind of like why did they want me in this band and it was simply because they liked my voice which was weird because it was

never the thing I expected anybody to I thought it was just something that I got to do not that something anybody would want me to do necessarily so that's kind of how it came to pass that I would got comfortable being at the center of things you didn't demand like I always demanded attention like I demand attention I'm a type A personality I want to be in the front that you were the opposite it was the opposite it was the opposite it was the opposite Opposite by, okay, I think the opposite thing might have been a little bit of like a learned response, right? Because I was a shorter kid. I have this weird birthmark where my hair grows two colors. So like it's like, it's a blonde right in the middle. Like, and I was kid of the 80s. So like Gremlins is out. So I'm getting like called Stripe and all this stuff and beat up for it or whatever picked on for it. And I realized like, okay, I better figure out how to blend. And maybe that that was, I learned that lesson too deeply. But. But what. Once I realized I could be more who I wanted to be out in the middle of that stage, I would save it all for then and really just be the guy and have it be the key that turned you

into the whatever it is, the real you. I've heard it said, you know, oh, who are you up there? It's like, I don't even know you or whatever. It's like, no, that's kind of like, I feel like that's me up there. So you start this project in 2000. Would you say that Vindicated is this song that people would know, general public? Do you think Vindicated is your biggest song? General public? Yeah, it's got to be, right?

I would think so, but I'm a little too close to it. If only because it's in a Marvel movie, you know, it's got to be the most... I don't know whether, like, I never remember, like, charts and things like that and what songs were successful by certain metrics, but just that the most people had to have heard it in the world from that, from that Spider-Man.

That's a jam. You have your guitar. Could you give us a little bit of indicated? Yeah. All right. winding in, winding out, the shine of it is called my, mesmerizing, so hypnotizing, I captivate. I am selfish, I'll swear I'm right, swear I did up so well, I am seeing in me now, the things you swore you saw yourself so cool. That's awesome. That's still, I mean, it also takes me back. There are certain songs that you hear, and again, that

a really big, it's like when you're like a young adult and music matters so much to you. Like I can remember where I was like when I would hear that song. And I remember being in the movie. That was the Carson Dunst version, right? On Spider-Man. Did you ever, did you meet them? I did. But don't they usually call the Toby McGuire version? But yes, I back you on that one. You know what? I guess I think it was a Carson-Dutz version. That's funny. Yes. Did you write that song for the movie? So we talked with Adam Durrett and County Crowe is about the song and went into Shrek, and he wrote that for the movie. Did you write that for the movie?

Not exactly. Actually, Adam and I were just talking about that, about accidentally and love the other day, and it got me thinking, you know, I submitted a different song to the production when they asked me about being a part of the soundtrack, and it was not meant to be the single, it wasn't meant to be in the movie,

and I really like the song, it still hasn't come out. But the cool thing was they let me see the movie while it was sort of still like, it wasn't quite dailies, graphics weren't rendered yet. It would suddenly just be like animation in the middle of a like a holding place for like something that come later. It was really a neat way to see the movie. And it was the story of it was really in my mind as I left there. They're just like sort of like the conflict of wanting being pulled in different directions, wanting things you can't

quite allow yourself to have or aren't allowed to have. And I got to, our last day to that run was in Hawaii and we were all going to go surfing and I picked up the guitar and it just like kind of spilled out and I was like you know it's funny where did that song come from and I was like oh well there's this line dangles on a string maybe it's from spider-man so just that bit of it made me call home and just be like would you want to hear this other song I know there's no time and so just like that it was written maybe an hour or two later I called I played it for leovalik over the phone she was the head of Sony music for pictures. And she was like, give me a minute.

Get me a tape of that. Send her a tape. She's like, could you? Actually, I think she made, she was like, could you demo that today? It's like pre like home studio kind of things like that. And we were able to do it at the club that we were playing that night. And they got that tape home and somehow the next, they were like, could you fly home tomorrow and record this? If so, it'll be in the movie.

It'll be the single. Wow. Okay, well, yes, we'll be there. How big was MySpace in your career? It was so big. Oh my God, it was so big. It was the biggest, possibly the biggest thing in my career except for Napster. Those were probably two biggest factors in my career.

Will you explain, because I was big on MySpace? Will you explain how MySpace is to some of our younger listeners? Well, it was like a do-it-yourself Facebook that was run by renegades, I guess. It was this, it was a social network. It's the first one I remember that you, that had the framework of what would really come in social networks. Like really was very much like Facebook in a lot of ways. But the way it wasn't was it seemed to be music and art related really heavily. And you could skin your own page, right?

And you could, so everybody's user interface sort of looked like their thing. You know who you were going to see. And there was, I think the reason it got so big was, was that people were really hungry to just communicate about the things they felt passionate about and no adults were really looking. And was it they were using your music as their song? Because you could put it, you had a song.

You put a song up as your song. So people came to your page. It was like, this is the kind of music I like. You're forced to listen to it. Yep. So is that what happened with your music? People just started sharing it, but in that way? Yeah.

Like if we're going to be friends, you've got to know this about me. It's a big thing, big way to open the door, an easy way to open the door. the door, great shorthand. And we really benefited from, from timing on that one that we were, that for so many people, we were writing some, I was writing, I guess, something that they, that felt to them like a way to explain themselves. And MySpace was the way they, where they could do that. And then MySpace got all weird and you get viruses and then it just went away. Yeah. It was really, Napster too. But Napster kind of needed to go away.

because when I was a kid I would go I can't believe these artists they want us to pay for this music I was so offended I was so mad right I was like I can't I hate Metallica I hate all they were obviously right because you are creating an art

and you deserve to you know be able to live your life based on the art that people are consuming but at the time as a kid oh I was so mad I was like I deserve to have this free and I download every song I would just hit the letter D for example I download every artist started with D including dashboard confession

all of it So for you guys, again, music being shared by like-minded people, I got to imagine that was massive for you guys for that brief period, Napster was just killing it. Look, I will have an unpopular opinion. I loved Napster. It made my career. Sure, it took away the livelihood I might have had, but wouldn't have. So I can only speak to how it affected me.

And I had a record made, but no distribution. And later when I got on like a small label, they didn't really have that distribution. when we were popping off, the label that we were on next was having like a war with their distribution. And that whole time, I could still get my music into people's hands. And I remember being like, well, we can't get, like, I literally couldn't get my records from the distribution place when we were at that stage where we should have been able to, could not physically get records. So I'd just be like, look, just buy it later if you want to, but maybe get it now so we can sing along together.

But where I do think that it did as a service societally, I guess, as a... CDs were too expensive. They were artificially priced in such a way that was harmful to the

consumer, I think. And so Napster, if nothing else, was sort of the great equalizer. Yeah, but it took away a lot of people's paycheck. I'm madigan. No, we want it free again. You shouldn't have it free. You should have it reasonably priced. Well, I was looking at your catalog of songs. You know, Stolen was such a massive song

for you as well. When you hit this stage of your career, when Stolen, I mean, you're a monster by the time Stolen hits as far as people come into your shows. I mean, I don't know that there was ever, for me, a time to see dashboard and to see it so large and everywhere you went. Was this, I don't know, when I say Stolen in that song, where does that put you in your mind about that point? Oh, I can tell I got to chill even with how quickly it took me back to think about it. You know, I lived in basically a beach town in a tourist town. And so like when the end of the season would come, you'd kind of get your city back.

You'd kind of get your town back. But also like everything you loved about the exciting now of it all when season was happening and you're a young person. And there's, you know, action, activity, girls, new friends. all kinds of things that felt familiar to me as I was transitioning now into like another place professionally where it's like, okay, I wish I could go back there, but everything ends. And I had this kind of, I was conflating the two things, like the beautiful temporary nature of it all and how it's all fleeting, it's all transitional. And like, I just, it was kind of a nod to like, I think I need to acknowledge that I love, love it both ways.

I love it when everything's happening, and then I love it when it's really peaceful. And I always miss the other thing. Whichever place I'm in, I miss the other place. So grass is greener? It's more like, remember that it really isn't greener. It's special in both places. So it's dead on both. The grass is a dead on both.

Grass is a dead everywhere you go. There's no hope. Would you mind playing a little bit of stolen for us? Sure. Season pull. It's on stakes. Catch the last weekend. of the last week.

Audi, the melody there. Do you write melody first, or are you a lyrics guy? I think it's concurrent most of the time. I think I do the sort of a babble as I'm singing and catch a word here and there, and then I'll spend some time in lyrics and then sing melody lyrics, melody lyrics, it's sort of hand-and-glove. How fast did that song come out of you? You know, I always think about this.

You know, those songs that you wrench on and you really just, really, really are nitty-gritty on the minutia of it all that take weeks and months or whatever. By rights, those are the ones that should really connect with people, but it's the ones that take, you know, they come in a flash, they connect with people, and this was one of the latter. You, your band, Dashboard Confessional, Counting, Crowe's doing a whole lot of shows together, or 50 shows. How'd you guys come together to, you know, get on this tour? Oh, we've been talking about this tour for a really long time.

So Adam and I have been close friends for, it's hard to believe, but like maybe it could be like 15 years or more, maybe 20, I don't know. He's kind of been my favorite thing that's happened about my career, like people I've met, experiences I've had, they're sort of always connected right to him. And he's my lyrical hero, my musical hero too. So it's a beautiful kind of thing that is constantly surprising to me that we're, that like, I still listen. the records like he's not that guy. Like he's at this, not the guy I'm going to pal around with later. It's a whole different guy when I listen the music. So, how

did it come together? We've been trying to, we've been talking about it, trying to get schedules, trying to get albums to line up. And we're here. And it did. And it works. I feel like people need to be quiet at these shows. Between dashboard and counting crows, people just shut up and enjoy the show. Would you agree? Well, I'm going to sing along

to them, so no. See, people are talking. I don't if they sing along, but if they're talking. Yeah, enough talking. Yeah. If you're playing because I'm, again, massive Counting Crows fan too. Like, look, when he sits down at the piano. Oh, yeah, hush. Yeah, shut up. Everybody, shh. Yeah, this is it. It's happening.

Yes, right now. Chris, I really appreciate you coming by, man. We talked about the tour a little earlier, but I'm going to say it again. The Counting Crows and Dashboard Confessional, the Banshee Season Tour, you can get tickets at dashboardconfessional.com. It's over 50 dates. And it's all the hits. You play all the hits?

Yeah, man. I know where we're there. Sometimes people like, I don't know. And you're going to hear all. You're going to hear all the hits. Chris, big fan. Thank you so much for coming by. We really appreciate it. There is. Chris. Dashmore Confessional. A win is a win.

Ray Stanton was living in Washington, D.C. a few years ago when he was working as a garbage man. He worked for a trash place. And his coworkers were like, dude, you're so smart.

You should go to college. He was like, I've never really thought about going to college. And they said, dude, we'll help you. So his co-workers gone online, helped him get the application. He enrolled into the University of Maryland, got accepted. Then he graduated from there in 2018. He said, hey, why stop there? Let's go to law school.

So he applies for law school at Harvard. And when he gets his acceptance letter, he shoots a video of it, puts it on social media. This is crazy. Tyler Perry, the filmmaker, sees the video and says, whoa, this guy got accepted to Harvard. I'll pay for his school. What? So he goes to Harvard, gets his law degree. He's graduated now.

He works at a law firm in New York City. And he's raised over $70,000 to give back to Harvard janitors. I mean, this guy is amazing. Here he is talking about it. My life was just based off of me being a community-oriented individual, and I got that from my dad. My dad was like, just because you're going through something doesn't mean that's an excuse not to help somebody if you can.

So this is like eight, tell me something good's in one. This probably goes up in the Hall of Fame. Right. Tell me something good because his workers are like, dude, you got to go to college. And then they did some of the legwork to get that going. And so he goes to the University of Maryland, gets accepted, finishes there. There's your first two.

That's huge. The workers, and then graduated. Look at this guy. Did he graduated. Okay, cool. Goes to Harvard. Goes to law school. That's three.

But he doesn't pay for it. Tyler Parrott jumps at home. That's four. And now he has donated back to other janitors at Harvard. That's five. This is, tell me something good Hall of Fame. That's so cool. And now he works as a lawyer in New York.

Unbelievable. Hey. How you like them apples? You like apples. Yeah, how you like them apples? I feel like this could be a movie. Tyler Perry should jump on it. It's almost like Goodwill Hunting.

I'm sure if he thought so, he'd be on it. Maybe he is. Yeah. I think Tyler Parrish should jump on it. He's listening now. He's like, you know what? I never thought about that. All right.

It was a bottle. And, and, and, and, and in that's how you met. Before we go to jail. Thank you. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. We're going to hop over and talk to United States Marine Corps Corporal Aaron Mankin. And just a second, he is in our.

Hyundai virtual green room. He is on with us from his place, his home. I'm going to tell you. He does not know that we're on with him to hopefully build him a home. We've done this six times before for different heroes that have served and have had catastrophic injury. Corporal Makin has had 70 surgeries. He has, and I'll let him tell the story about the IED that hit him and he's got kids and he's had burns and amputation and lung damage serving us, serving this country. And so we have teamed up with building homes for heroes to help veteran United States Marine Corps, corporal, Aaron Mankin, we're going to build him a house. And he does not know that.

So now we're going to connect him over so he doesn't hear that part. And he's on now. And here he is. On the Bobby Bones Show now. Marine Corporal Aaron Mankin. Oh, Aaron, how's it going? It's going well. Thank you. Good to see you, my friend.

Thanks for having me. First of all, from all of us, we appreciate your service, obviously. And I want to talk about why you join, when you join, and what happened to you specifically. And, you know, I was going to be sensitive when talking about what happened to you. So if I ask anything that's a little too much, let me know, okay? I appreciate that. Okay, cool. I'm an open book.

I'll talk about anything. I think it's important for people to not only hear my story, but the opportunity I've had to to educate people about my experience and what it's like to come home. So you enlisted what year and where'd you live? So I enlisted out of my hometown here in Rogers, Arkansas, back in 2003 at the onset of the war. And back then it wasn't a war. It was Operation Iraqi Freedom. We were going to liberate the nation.

So that resonated with me. That spoke with me a lot. The idea of the Bush doctors exporting democracy and going out and helping the world in that way really, really resonated with me. And I thought, you know, if I'm going to join the military, if this is what my generation's going to do, this is my generation's war, what can I do that I do well so that I can be an asset to my unit? And I didn't want to just be another pair of boots in the sand. So I took my skills as a photographer and a storyteller and decided to become a combat correspondent. So I started my training and deployed to Iraq in 2005,

my time in Fallujah and was there to tell the Marine Corps story. What does that mean tell the Marine Corps story as someone that's in the Marine Corps? Are you telling it to people like us or are you telling it within? Both, actually. So, you know, I had a camera in one hand, a rifle in the other, and every Marine a rifleman. So, and especially having, you know, combat at the front of my, my billet, my job is to be expected. And so I would write for, I would write press releases for the general, for, the base newspaper, but then those were also released online and back here in the States.

And I did videography. I did several reports that would come to the satellites out of Fallujah and then back to the states and wind up on the evening news. So, you know, the Marine Corps story is very much in large part the American story. And so, you know, just telling those personal connections between the troops and the home front. Did you find the fulfillment that you were searching for whenever you went in to the service and to the Marines? You had been there. You did your training. You were serving.

Did you feel like this is what I was meant for while you were doing it? I really did. I really thought that not only was I in a place that spoke to me that fed me as an individual where I could lean on my skill set and be valued within my unit and toward the mission. I did. I enjoyed it. Best job in the Marine Corps. Hands down. Best job. I mean, I loved it. I mean, everything that the Marine Corps had its hands in, I had the opportunity to go and tell that story. So if we were doing training and awesome high speed, you know, helicopter operations or, you know, mount training or a celebrity would come on base to entertain the troops.

If that's where the story was, then that's where I would be in order to tell it. So we had mentioned before you came on that you've undergone 70 surgeries throughout your recovery. but I do want to talk about what happened that has well made you have 70 surgeries. So what do you remember about the day it happened to kind of walk me through it? When I survived that blast, I walked away. Luckily, I don't know how I escaped it. I mean, I got honest truth. I mean, it took the lives of six Marines.

And I walked away with no broken bones, no shrapnel, really just a flesh wound. I had to give my face and my flesh and a few fingers, but I had my life and got to walk away from it. And honestly, every day has been a blessing since. Was it an IED that exploded a lot of times when we talked to people that have been injured in war? It's either an ID they didn't know and they drove up on or is that what happened with you? Yes. Yeah. We were moving from one objective to the other, and our track just happened to hit a stack mine that threw a 26-ton vehicle filled with Marines, Chow, ammunition, threw us good 10 feet in the air.

Boom, boom, came crashing back down. We thought it was an ambush. We thought we were taking fire, but it turns out that the heat was so intense inside the vehicle, all of our ordnance started to cook off. So all of our grenades, our flares, our 50-cattle ammo, everything started to cook off inside. It was chaos. When you say cook off, does that mean like shoot off like fireworks, like if a fireworks stand where to catch fire? But that's like it's like real, real stuff. Exactly.

Oh, man. So what happens then as in what do you remember next? Are you, do you wake up in a hospital? So at that point, I'm on fire inside the vehicle. I open my eyes. I can see flashes of orange and the pitch black smoke. my first reaction was to just gas and just shocked

and I inhaled all this fire and debris and later surgeons would dig out hardboard and glass out of my lungs and panic set in and I thought I got to get out and by that time one of our sergeants had muscled open the back hatch and the smoke started to flood out

daylight kind of trickled in and I found my truck and I just dove and I just jumped out of the track I landed in the road. I stopped and looked at myself and I was still on fire. And so I started to roll and roll and roll. And I couldn't put myself out. I just, you know, exhausted myself, trying to extinguish myself.

And I thought, this is it. And this piece came over me. And I thought, this is how my story ends. And, you know, they say your whole eye flashes before your eyes. Ironically, for me, by being a photographer, I just saw all these like pictures. I just saw all these little still frames of all the people in my life

that meant the world to me. And as I was trying to hold on to them, I woke up to the sound of my fellow Marines yelling, put him out, put him out. You know, they run over, they dive on top of me and they're, you know, kicking dirt on top of me. They're trying to put the flames out. And they do.

And then it's like they just evaporated. It's like they just disappear and they all go to help other Marines. And I wasn't wounded from the waist down, so I stood up. And of course, in shock. And I thought, you know, I need to get to my camera. I need to get to my mission.

And so I started to walk back toward the track. And it was about then that our Navy corpsman grabbed me by the collar and say, hey, you're hurt. You need to come with me. And it's really where the story of my recovery began. And I tell that story, you know, to different groups around the country. And I'll point that part out specifically and how often we'll walk around in life and not know how truly wounded we are.

It takes someone else to come up to us and extend their hand and their help and their aid. So he gets me to the casualty collection point. And then they got to get me on the chopper, right? And it's like every war movie you've ever seen. Let's go get them on the chopper. Let's go, you know, they load me up on the litter. And they start running through a field to load me up onto the helicopter, to our air support. And sure enough, you know, Murphy's law, things go wrong.

and somebody fell over and I came tumbling out. Now I'm back on the ground. And we were so close to the bird, I thought, you know, I'll just walk. So I started walking toward the bird and all the Marines start yelling at me. Hey, hey, hey, lay down, lay down. You're in shock. We got you. Come on.

You're in shock. I'm like, I'm shocked that you dropped me, right? Right? Get this Marine some morphine. So they got me out of the bird and got me out of there. They knocked me out. And then I woke up about two days later in San Antonio. So you're in San Antonio and that's where they start to really work physically through your recovery.

Second, third degree burns to your arms and your face, amputated fingers, PTSD, lung damage. I'm assuming the lung damage is from when you were breathing in and the fire. That's all you took in there. Yes. So physically, it has been extremely tough. 70 surgeries. That is so, yeah. When you can't even remember every surgery.

There's no way I to remember 70 surgeries. When you can't even remember every surgery, that's how you know you've had a lot. lot of surgeries, right, Aaron? Yeah, for sure. And so here's what we're going to do. We're going to work together with building homes for heroes.

Thank you guys. Uber Eats is going to, they say, Unleashed 2,000. AI powered robots across the U.S. that will drop off food order starting in 2026. I saw one in L.A. It's so legit until these things are killing people. Dude, it freaked me out. I thought somebody was following me. I turned around as a robot and I had food and its little claws.

Curring you. What? Going down the sidewalk. It was crazy. It freaked all of us out. Me and my wife and my son were like, whoa, what is that thing? Where's your picture or video? Yeah, I didn't even think about it.

You video everything and you don't video that? I was on social media, you know, detox. But you didn't record stuff. I just forgot about it. story is Uber Eats is throwing out 2,000 of these four-wheel robots in major U.S. cities in 2026. They'll be available in the app. If you select it, the robot brings you your food. And I'm telling you, it's a great idea until all of a sudden, robot not happy. He beats you up. Yeah. And shoot. But yeah, I'm looking at pictures of them now. And that is

bizarre. But in a hotel we were in once in Vegas, the robots brought you the food. But I just went to the elevator, up the elevator to your room. That's still bizarre. Yeah. But this is like driving across the city. Tell me, seen one on the street, the sidewalk is nuts. That's crazy. That's pretty cool, though.

It was cool. That's pretty cool. All right. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th.

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.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. Do you feel like your driver's license or your passport represents you? Like, if you show your fate, you show it at the airport, they're like, oh, you're the same person. Yeah, because on my driver's license, they let me wear my glasses, which they weren't supposed to. Oh, yeah. Oh, special treatment, huh? Yeah. Celebrity style.

Wow. That's cool. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I'll be honest with it. I liked it. And I'm going to act like, but my passport, I was like, see it. killer. For sure. No glasses. I'm like because they tell you not to smile.

Yeah, they're like, don't smile. No glasses. It looks like I'm like middle of using the bathroom. My face. So one yes, one no. Well, there was this one girl that was sharing how she got real done up for her passport photo and she had on the makeup, the hair, all the things. And then

when she went to fly early in the morning, rolled out of bed. That's funny. That ain't you? No makeup. Oh. That's true. Yeah. She got pulled aside by the TSA agent and claiming you're not her. So I guess the move would be to do medium. So if you're one way or the other, if you're like going to prom, but you have to get to the airport first, that they still know.

And also if you just wake up and no makeup. So it's probably just like medium makeup. Don't go full dolly. Have you ever seen mine? No. It's so stupid. I have. I have a full beard.

Yeah. It's like James Hardin. It goes down to the bottom of my neck. If James Hardin was from the valley. Wow. It's ridiculous. this every single time I go to the airport. They do like three takes.

Okay, that's you. It's a weird time to take a picture. So dope. Whenever you're doing something with your face or body or hair that isn't common, because you know you're going to get out of it. One time Morgan number one died her hair blonde for a group picture. Yeah, you bring that up a lot. And I was like, then you got to stay blonde.

Like she, it was blonde, blonde, usually it's brown. So we do our show picture and then she's blonde, like Barbie blonde. And like a week later it's brown again. And then it never. How long has she been not on the show and doing your other stuff? I don't know years. Years? I should probably let go with that, but I can't.

I can't let go of it. Well, also, I was just going to point out that's literally last time we did a show photo shoot. Yeah, probably. We do photos shoots all the time for different things. Pepinjoi stuff, group stuff. Oh, I mean, like that was like a real, like we were. Yeah, mostly now they may pay for it myself and I just give them mine. Oh, that's why we haven't taken one in a while.

Yeah, pay for you guys this crap. I got to pay for my own. All right, what else? For anybody that's dating, it takes 19 minutes for someone to know if they want a second date. And the top things people are looking for, manners, personality. I gotta tell you, manners is not the first thing

that's looked for by dudes. That may be the first answer they give, but it ain't the first thing. Go ahead. Okay, what is the first thing you look for? I don't. I have a wife, and she's beautiful,

and she's the only person I've ever wanted to date a second time. Okay, personality comes in. Okay. Listen, somebody that's friendly and you can actually talk. Yeah, conversation skills. I mean, you don't want to go

on a second date with somebody just because they're hot. Like, that definitely helps. if you're attracted to them. But if you're attracted to them and you sit down and you're like, I don't know what to say to you. Like, we don't have anything in common. You're like, no personnel.

Like, that's got to be first. At what point for you? Because I assume maybe when Caitlin's, that's the only person you've gone out with, she didn't know you were a radio personality, so she didn't know you were a talker on air? Because, like, the difference, you don't really talk that much off air.

Yeah, but we had a mutual friend. Right. Her friend from Oklahoma. So she didn't have to figure out the two sides of you. Well, we weren't even trying to date. I wish you just met me as like a person We didn't go out on a date forever months and months Okay but on the first day

Are you talkative? Oh yeah, I'm on, baby, let's go Right, but when do you reveal It's my best representative, let's go When do you reveal that you dial it down with the talking? That's a good question About a third of the way through the first date I'm like, hey, like this

You just shut down The power runs out Yeah, go ahead About 19 minutes, that's how long you got And you can figure it out Kenny Chesney was talking about how he keeps his mental health in check. And there's three things that he's doing. Breath work, heat.

So I assume some sort of sweating sauna situation. And then he... No shoes. No shirt. No problem. In addition to the breath and the heat, he is very much into the ice baths. Like everybody else. But he says he keeps going right outside his bus every day pops in and it's the best thing for him.

Ice bath, a little different than a cool plunge, I guess. Ice bath you can get into if your body is inflamed, a lot of inflammation. You get the ice bath. We used to have, you know, athletics. You get an ice bath that hated it. Injuries, ice bath, inflammation. Now, the cool thing, that's the stupidest thing. It's the stupidest thing.

The cold plunge? Yes. It's so dumb. Here's why. First of all, there's nothing scientific about it, really, that tells you that it's doing anything for your body. And trust me, I've done a lot of research on this because I just love to prove people wrong. So I was with Jake. Oh, and we were away, and he was like, getting a cold plunge.

And I'm like, what's the purpose? He goes, it's going to make you feel better. I'm like, why? I'll go, you just accomplish something in the morning. And I'm like, I accomplished plenty all day. I'm good. He's like, oh, you'll just feel like, you're a better person. He'll be like, woo.

And so I'm like, okay, fine, whatever. And so knocks on my door, like 6.30 in the morning. And we got to go in the morning. I'd rather, I'd rather slept in. Why can't we do the cold plunge at noon? Oh, in the morning, though, really gets you going. And then it's like, don't you feel good? you accomplish that?

And I'm like, I know, I could accomplish that at 3 p.m. I could have accomplished more sleep for me. And he's like, oh, but I don't really get your engine going. I'm like, that's not scientific. There's no engine. So I had a doctor on my podcast. He's super popular, Dr. Mark Hyman,

and he said the top two things if he could recommend to people for longevity and hacking your body is heat. Two things that are very vague. Longevity and hacking your body. Okay, no, well, he's talking, he likes to look at your back. Don't hack my body by the way. I want my body hacked. Like you have your

chronological age, but then also your biological age, like you can change it. He's like, you can get younger. And the top two things I tell people, obviously, besides, you know, food and whatnot. Food and whatnot. I'm going with whatnot. Well, no, these are the two things. What not means like, obviously you exercise, you eat certain

things, but he said, heat through sauna and cold plunge. And what's the benefit of the cold plunge? Other than saying, I got up in the morning and accomplished a good plan. In your research, did it bring up that It stimulates the Vegas nerve?

You know, not the Vegas nerve, not the Reno nerve, not the Sacramento nerve. None of those cities in the West, none of those nerves were affected. Okay. Yeah. My research is like 10 articles, a couple podcasts. And I'm a doctor too, so. That's a good point. You are.

Do you have that doctor on your podcast? Yeah, this doctor on your podcast? I'll tell you a lot of stuff about the Vegas nerves. He's well known. Yeah. Of letters. Give me letters you want to tell you about? Letter A.

Yeah, come on. Letter E, E. Letter E. I. Aye. That's all I do is Val sounds. Anyway, go plenty stupid. All right, is that it?

I made me. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Oh, it's Bobby. Tell me something good. Lucas Smith is five-year-old in Wisconsin. He has turned a community service project into something he does all the time now.

He's pledged to craft, a handmade birthday card, for every kid in a small town that is in central Wisconsin. And now his mom talks about it says, well, he was doing some community service hours, not because he was in trouble, which just happened to, let's be honest, some of our friends. But because he just wanted to do something for the town and he was going to get like bonus points at school as well. But he found that by giving back it made him feel better. And so that's what he does is he does these birthday cards, makes all of them personalized to each kid he gives it to. and he's like if this is my little way of doing it, then I'm affecting the world

in a positive way. Again, he's only five years old. Wow, it's amazing. He's not playing video games in the free time. That's what my five-year-old do. He's not I don't know what else they do. Nothing, man. Nothing really? Fight with her brothers. That's what he's not doing. He's thinking about others. And this is the kind of kid that this growth, birthday cards grows into

B, then C, then D. This is what changes the world. Five years old. Lucas Smith, if you're listening, buddy, we appreciate that. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Here's a voicemail from Matt in Lexington, Kentucky. I was calling for some advice. I'm recently engaged, and we are trying to come up with a guest list,

and I was just wondering, is it okay to invite your coworkers or should you invite coworkers? Any advice would help, thanks. Great question. I'll say what I always say, first of all, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do on your wedding. There's something you made before pressure to do, but you don't have to do anything.

You don't have to invite the coworkers you're not close to. Even on this show, whenever I had my wedding, I think everybody was invited, but like Morgan didn't have a boyfriend, so she didn't get a plus one. Like Abby didn't get a plus one. So all the rules aren't the same.

We had the rule of with coworkers, especially if you're part of the show because we all work pretty closely together. Everybody was invited. But if you didn't have a significant person, you didn't get to bring somebody. But that was our rule that we made up for it. I didn't invite coworkers.

like outside of our group. Yeah. Man, I don't give crap about ourselves, people, because I don't know them, so I don't feel the need to bring them

into the wedding. What was the priority order of like when you made your list? Family first and then, like friends? Maybe to her. With me, lottery system.

Oh. I just keep on close to. I didn't have a lot of family to invite anyway. Yeah. But we had a number. We built to that number and then we had a bunch

that we were like, this is borderline. Then we had to go through and kind of pick cuts. Yeah. Dang. So we made our for sure list and we had a whole list of people

that we were still like, okay, should we invite them? Should we not? But we only can invite like half of that group that was in that list. And then we had a couple

that didn't make it but other people backed out so then they got the invite and they moved up into the list. Yeah. Okay, okay. Yeah. Is that any of us?

No. Okay. No, no, no. I just left, because I was thinking back because working in radio sometimes, you know, people don't have their real name. And I remember Caitlin having to tell you.

Like, no, no, no, no. I need their real name. I was like, no, his name's Gator. Like, his name's Gator. Put that on the invitation. She was like, between Gator and lunchbox and Slick Willie, she was like, I don't know who all these people are. What are their names?

But it was also when I found out people's real names the first time, too. Like, I didn't know what Gator's real name was. Yeah. But yeah. The whole wedding process, just make it about you as much as possible. There were awkward people I didn't invite that I have professional relationships with but that showbiz baby and sometimes it's like hey do you ever get married

or when's your wedding oh that's awkward that was a bad one before the wedding when's your wedding uh gotta go yeah yeah all right do so you know you fall down so do what you want to do that's the move if you don't want to buy people from work do not feel like you have to all right here's one more this is kie from tennessee morning studio i just had a question for you guys because i need some advice. I just started recently about two weeks ago a part-time job that I really enjoy before I was just a stay-at-home mom. And I just got my paycheck today and I thought it looked a little high and I calculated it all out. And it looks like they paid me about $10 more an hour than my actual rate is. And obviously this is a mistake, but obviously the extra money is good. So I just wanted

your guys' advice if I should just reply to her and say, sorry, money's gone. Sorry. What do you guys think? I think they're going to come for the money eventually anyway. They'll do some sort of, all right, let's look and see what we're supposed to be financially. Audit. They'll be off and they'll be like, well, let's check everybody's note. That's going to happen probably. Why I would not be good at just keeping the money is one, I'd always worry about that.

And then two, you'd have to budget in your mind. Well, if they do come for it, then I'm going to be in the hole this next month. And where am I going to get that? I just don't want that money gymnastics happening. So you would go ahead and tell them? Yeah. Get ahead of it. I'd be like, hey, this was my check.

Was it supposed to be this high? Will you please check? Because I don't want to have to pay this back. It's not because I'm some great soul or some honest soul. Although I do feel like I'm pretty honest. I just would not want to have to constantly worry and go, well, if they do take it back now, now I've got to re-budget everything. Because you spend that money quick and it's gone.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That money gone by whenever you, sorry, whenever you go buy something fun for you. So I would email them for sure because 95% chance are going to ask for it back. I know lunchbox you don't subscribe to that. No, you got two options. You can quit the job and just, you know, quit the job. Move on, find another part-time job. Be like, man, I scored one.

Or you just hush, hush, keep getting those paychecks and keep catching that extra money. And then eventually six months down the road, quit and walk away with all that money. So always quit. Always quit before you get cut. Yeah, because she's, they're part-time, man. Like, she doesn't want to, it's not like her life is depending on this money and she wants to be there. And she plans to parlay this into a full-time job. She's doing this as a hobby.

Yeah, but it's still, they're going to come for the money. Yeah, well, guess what? Money's gone, and I'm gone, sorry. That's not really how it works, but I like it. Like that you give your answer here. Amy, anything you're going to say? I agree with you. The best thing I do is just address it.

We've had it happen here. Hopefully that's like, you know what, keep it. Yeah. I was going to say, like, check. Say, what do you have down for my, like, maybe they were like, hey, she's pretty awesome. Let's go ahead and pay her this. Or you can be like, hey, did you guys pay me enough?

Will you look at the check? No, because then they're going to be like, oh, we paid you too much. That's okay too, though. Don't draw any attention to it. Okay. No, no, no. This could help you get a raise faster.

Well, that ain't try there. Okay, let's go over and do the morning corny. The morning corny. What did the Dalmatian say after dinner? What did the Dalmatian say after dinner? Well, that hit the spot. That was the morning corny. I'm told lunchbox went and...

waited in the bathroom for Adam Durrett's from County Crows. Because Adam Durst walked in and lunchboxes in there peeing and he just lingered. He loves doing that. So his new goal is to wash his hands with as many celebrities as possible. Yeah. What? What do you mean wash your hands though? Like at the same time, like share that small sink?

Yeah, we have one sink in the men's bathroom. It has one faucet. And so when they're washing your hands, you have to go in for the hand wash at the same time. So you can say that you washed your hands with blank. I did it with Keith Urban, the water dripped from his hands to my hands, my hands to his hands. And it was like, wow, it was something you guys, I didn't even think about it. Eddie told on me, and it was like, man, this is something that's pretty cool. Not a lot of people.

Like a conversation piece? Yes, like at a party, like, oh, you ever many celebrities? Well, actually, I've washed my hands with something. You know, and I'm like, yeah. What parties are you going to, by the way? And I go to some parties. So who have you, so far, who do you have on your list? Keith Urban and now Adam Duritz.

Those are the only two. And what happened is I was in there at the urinal. There's two urinals. There's one on the right and one on the left. And I was on the left when I was, you know, using it. And all of a sudden he comes in. And I'm already at the end of my stream. So I'm like, huh, I'm going to linger here for a minute because if I go now,

I'm not going to be able to use the sink with him. So I just kind of stood there like I was still going to the bathroom. He got done. He goes over and starts washing his hands. I was like, I'm going in. And I stuck my hands in there. And he goes, interesting. And then he took the paper towel and walked.

out. There was no conversation. There was no eye contact. He just said, interesting, one word, paper towel, and out. And I was like, I did it. I did it. I did it. I drift water onto Adam Durst's hands. Oh, so you're on top this time.

I was on top. You're on bottom last time. He was pretty much pulling out ready to go, and I had to force my way in and get my hands in there and make sure I drip some water on them. So it was pretty awesome. I feel awkward. So how do you plan to continue this? Because it seems like you've just been in there luckily at the right time.

Right. And sometimes these artists come and they don't even use our bathroom. So I always go after the interview because I assume that after the interview is when they're going to have to go to. So that's why you leave so quickly? Yes. I got to get in position. I got to go get in the yard. Sometimes I go in the stall and sit and wait. And sometimes I just stand at the urinal and I don't even pee. Can you imagine if he's in the stall?

Oh, my goodness. And you're washing your hands and he comes out and watches. I haven't had a stall game yet. Like I haven't had no stall takers. Like every time I've been in the stall, no one comes in. and the urinal has been the golden goose. Hey, Scoo, Steve, what do you think about this? Is it so funny that we don't care?

Or is it creepy? And we can't really stop him on the bathroom, though. That's the thing. We can't stop that, but now it's on the air. And I'm fearful of guests not wanting to come here anymore because they want to be bombarded in the bathroom. It is funny. I think we should continue to do it

just because it's a great, funny thing for the show. But I worry that this could be a problem long term. That sink is so small. And there's only got one little head. Yeah. And it only has cold water. There's no hot water. it just turns on.

There's no turn it to cold or hot. You just stick your hands under it, boom. And County Carl's guy said, interesting. That was it. Nothing else. No back and forth, no, like, what are you doing? No, like, is there some reason you're doing that?

No, just interesting. He's speechless. And he grabbed a pair. The guy who says things for a living. Speechless. Had nothing to say. Okay. We can't tell them not to go to the bathroom.

Hey, these hands. Me and Keith, and now me and Adam. Anybody on the list? looking forward to getting a hold of. Do you have any goals? I mean, who's your ultimate hand washing artist? Oh, I haven't even thought about that. Probably Garth Brooks. He's the biggest of all time. That'd be cool. Hey, if we ever get Garz Brooks back in here, I will definitely post it up in the bathroom. Can he like giving him water? He never comes in the studio. For the minute Garth gets here, he just waits in the bathroom for him the entire show. You know that's going to happen.

We talked about Al Pacino last week. He's in his 80s, having a baby. And now he wants a DNA test because he's like, I don't know if that's my kid. What? So Al Pacino apparently did. not want another kid and asked for a prenatal DNA test to prove that it was his kid. A source said that the mom to be and him aren't even in a relationship. Quote, it's a mess. A source claims that nor her, her name's Nor Afala said, hey, I can't conceive because of a thyroid problem. I never believe that, rich guys. A source says she knew out and want to have more kids.

They have no relationship. It's a mess. supposedly nor weaseled her way into Al's life before the pandemic by becoming close to us 22-year-old daughter. Yeah, that's a move, huh? Be friends with your daughter. Be friends with a daughter. That's how you get to meet the dad, the famous dad. Yeah, I guess so.

The relationship was basically over for more than a year when she reestablished contact and got pregnant. But what does that mean? So they did have a relationship. Well, yeah. And so, yeah, but then that happened. She went away, then came back. and got pregnant. She reestablished contact, meaning they got it on.

Yeah. They randomly got it on. Oh, that's what that means. Yeah. Reestablished contact means hooked up. On the flip side, Robert De Niro says that being a father again feels great. Okay. Yeah.

A Robert De Niro, okay, that's the other one. I get them confused, but they're both in the story. Robert De Niro says being a father again feels great and he's very happy for Al Pacino. Oh, got it. See, don't they feel like the same person? Yeah, yeah. Now I feel like they're both really old having kids. With young girls.

But De Niro, I think, did it on purpose. And he's happy for that. Yes. And Pacino's like, what's he deal? This is not my kid. This is my kid. So I don't know what a pre. I know what it is.

I don't know how they do a prenatal DNA test. And why would more people not have that done if you're confused on who it is instead of waiting for nine months? Because lunchbox didn't that happen to one of your friends? Yeah. One of my buddies, he got to go pregnant. And she came to him said, I'm pregnant. And he was like, man, I don't know if it's my kid. So when the baby was born, he, he,

had me buy a DNA test and he swabbed the baby, mailed it and the results came to my house. And I was like, hey dude, I got him. You can come by and pick him up. He goes, no, go ahead and open him, man. I was like, what? He wanted you to open him?

Yeah, I was about to go in and get a haircut and I was like, man, I was like, what if it's not yours? He goes, well, I'm going to come pick you up and you're going to help me move my stuff. And I was like, okay. Was it in an envelope? It was in an envelope. It was like a standard white envelope or like manila envelope.

Oh, let's go. That's what you know it's serious. Yeah. And I was like, oh, boy. and I opened it up and it's like a packet. And it's like the first thing is it tells you, explains the test and everything. Second page, you flip it to you and says,

the results of the DNA test are, you are 99.9% the father. Oh. And what was his? Well, it depends. What was his reaction? He was like, all right, good. He wanted it to be his.

I don't know if he wanted it to be his or if he was just more like, okay, now we deal with it. Right. You know what I mean? It was like, I was like, I was like, good feeling for the kid. And I was like, but what if it's not, aren't you guys in love? And he's like, we'll figure that out. And I was just like, okay, I don't know.

I don't understand this, but it was cool. How'd the haircut go after that? Oh, man, the haircut, it was good. It was a little high on the, you know, they went a little high on the top, but it looked pretty good. The whole time I was just there going, man, I have these DNA results. That's crazy. I just had to reveal DNA results to my buddy. You were Mari, dude.

For a minute, you were Markovich. That's right. And I was like, and you are the fire! You are the father! And she was like, I told you, told you! We were talking on Friday show about elevators and that button you push that closes the door, you push it, make the door close. Yeah, you said it's not, it doesn't work.

It doesn't work. That's so weird. It's really not a thing. You can't make it close earlier than it is time to close anyway. So as much as you push that button, it doesn't work. And then we started talking about, you know, if you were ever on an elevator with anybody famous randomly, I'll go first. I got an elevator with the prince once.

Prince is the same purple rain, purple rain. Oh, that's amazing. Prince, Prince. I thought you were like saying Prince. Prince of Wales or something. Prince, even cooler, Prince, sent him and some bodyguards, and he was tiny and it was an accident.

I was at a, like a club bar-type outdoor venue in Austin, and there was Prince. Did you talk to him? No. Nothing. Oh, you're going to say, what up? No. Bodyguard.

I wouldn't talk to anybody anyway, and then I wouldn't go and talk to Prince either, because he didn't look like he wanted to be talked to, and he had bodyguards with him. Did you stare at him? No, I saw who it was, and I was like, oh, my God. And so I kind of looked to the side and try, but I only have one good eye, remember.

Yeah. So I had to put him on the left side, of me. So I moved over and then kind of looked that way. But I didn't want to look too much either. But mine is Prince. So anybody ever been on an elevator with anybody cool randomly? Lunchbox. Yeah, I was on the elevator with John Legend and Chrissy Teigen at Celebrity Family Feud. I was just walking backstage and I saw them get on the elevator. I might as well go up too. Oh, so you only got on the elevator. I only got on the elevator because they went on the elevator. I might as well jump on. That's not random.

No, that is random. No, you randomly saw them somewhere and then followed them into an elevator. Yes, it was awkward. You made it happen. Yeah, I did make it happen. I was like, I'm not missing this opportunity to be in an enclosed space with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. How awesome. Did you talk to them? I was just like, how's it going?

And they were just like, ah, they were, I think they were, uh. They're having fun drinking? Our listeners can't see what you're doing with your hands. I know, I don't know if I should say that. They were drinking? Allegedly. Allegedly, I think they were. They were going to.

But they give you alcohol before that show because they want you to be funny. Why didn't they give us alcohol? I don't know. Oh. Maybe they knew we were going to be terrible. Amy, anybody? Halsey? Yeah, I think I was with you that time.

You are. She was wearing a raincoat, and I think that's it. And definitely smelled, like, things. Huh? Like perfume? Allegedly. Oh, here we go. I don't know if I should say that.

Eddie? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Tony Danza in Vegas. I was with my family, like my parents were in the elevator, and he was in there, and I was like, Tony, my man, I started talking to him. And I don't remember this, but my mom to this day says I gave him a hug. I don't remember that. Hey, I'd been

Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Let's go to Kaylee in Charleston, South Carolina. Kaylee, what's going on? Pretty good. So tell me your elevator story. So I, my sister and I had just gotten to Vegas, and we hit the button, and we're waiting to go up to our room, and the door opened, and Jason Alvine was there all by himself. So he got off and took a picture with us and held the door for us while we all took picture and stuff and then he went

on his way. Was he wearing just a ball cap and I'm assuming not his stage cowboy hat? No, I think he was heading to rehearsal for ACMs and he was all by himself. It was like right when his divorce stuff happened so. It's hard to see Jason in public and know it's Jason a lot

of the time because he, again, Jason that walks around wears a ball cap and is pretty normal. The only way you can really spot him is the earrings. Otherwise, he changed. changes a stage attire, he can live almost a normal life. So that's why I was asking about the cowboy hat. I think

to cut off shirts a lot. Let's see them. On stage? No, just like When I'm hanging out? When I see him, some videos pop up on Instagram, like every time he's hanging out, he likes to cut those sleeves off. I felt that. I don't have slaves on half my shirts. Probably for different reasons. He has a lot of cool tattoos. Oh, yeah. Me, I just

don't like to be restricted, you know? Thank you, Kaylee. Hope you're good. Have a good day. Yes. Thank you. Bye. Bye. See you later. Let's go to Wendy in North Carolina. Wendy, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on? Doing pretty good.

What's your story? Okay. This is back when Shannon Tatea made an appearance in Greensboro, you know, North Carolina. He was like, but he actually went to the mall. Like, people knew he was there, but nobody ever really saw him. Well, I was running into the mall to return some merchandise, and I was, like, in the bummiest outfit you could ever imagine,

light-legged, t-shirt, like flip-flops, just running in and running out, messy hair bun, whatever. I got on the elevator leaving, and when I did, I seen, like, two guys that probably were protecting somebody, and they were coming in, and he was behind him, had his ball cap on. And he kind of glanced over. I had, like, one of the Magic Mikes shirts on to exit. Oh, no. And he noticed he looked over. He said, see, you're a fan, huh?

And I'm like, yeah. And I'm like, I didn't know what to say. I'm, like, cringing. And I was like, but I'm sorry, I just looked so terrible. And he's, well, look at me. I'm bummy. I was like, no, you'll look good in anything. I said, or nothing.

and I couldn't believe. But you said that? You said it were nothing? Yes. Yes. She meant it. What was his reaction? He came out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he was really nice about it. He was really cool about it. He was like, hey, do you want me sign your shirt? He said, you know, hey, you can keep this. You didn't come out the mall with anything. You had to exchange it. You didn't get what you wanted.

He said, you want me to sign it. And he went ahead and signed it for me, and I got to go out of the elevator with him and walk out to the car. When we got outside, he took a picture with me. And he said, he said nice. I got to me, she said, I'm glad you're fans. And he was really nice about it. That's cool.

But I just couldn't believe those words come out my mouth. Yeah, also, where's the lie? Where's the lie? She didn't lie. That's awesome. That's awesome. All right, one final thing. Let's go to Kat in Austin, Texas.

Kat, you're on the Bobby Bone show. What's going on? Hey, how are you all doing? Doing pretty good. What's your story? My story was, I worked in Austin. I got on the elevator, and it was John Travolta. Wow.

And where I worked, you could not call them by their first name. So it was a very awkward, quiet elevator ride because in my mind you know back by 97 I was like I'm not going to call him

Mr. Jones this is just embarrassing I know who it is so he just kind of smiled at me and I commalled at him and seeing the developed elevator or I did

he stayed on but yeah I was on over John Travolta That's pretty cool She can call him Mr. Travolta though I call him Mr. Danny Zuko

Mr. Zuko That's right Salma loving had me a blast All right thank you Have a good day Kat Yes. Thank you, too. Bye.

Amazon confirms a new series of the office is coming. I thought the same thing. I thought, what? Out of nowhere, but the new version will be Australian. And there have been 13 different adaptations of the office, so it is not new that another country is doing their version of it. So there's been the office. Obviously, UK is where it started.

Two seasons. The UK had it right. They do two seasons of every show, then they're done, for the most part. and they do occasional comebacks. But America, we just beat it to death. And we're like just a tiny bit of life in it. They milk it. And it won't be near as good, but we can still get people to watch it for a minute and sell ads.

Let's do it. Although we're getting a little better at that with some of these like HBO Mac shows. Some I wish we'd keep going. Yeah. So there's UK American. There's India, Israel, Canada, Chile, France. Oh, Chile. Yeah.

But Australia will be having their version of the office and the Michael Scott character, will be a woman named Felicity Ward. That's from news.com. Some Taylor Swift fans wear adult diapers so they don't miss a song. Like I felt that. Yeah. I wouldn't have the heart to pee on myself. But I like the passion.

I like that you're dedicated. And whatever you got to do to stay dedicated, like I felt that in my bones for sure. But not for this. There's something to be said for dedication, but this one fan on TikTok said, well, I don't want them a single song. So I wear an adult diaper. Okay. And that's the case.

And this story's from Barstool. And, you know, I hate leaving a movie to go to the bathroom. I will almost rupture a bladder than have to walk out and pee. Like I felt that. But I don't think I could just use the bathroom on myself. Oh, some doctor, I don't know, or nurse just works with the pelvic floor and a lot of women. And she said, holding pee at concerts is one of the worst things you can do for yourself. So this is the diaper is actually a good thing.

And because go to the bathroom before the main act comes on. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to smell like pee. Yes. And that's the best.

That's the best option, Eddie. There's another option, too. But at least it's in a diaper, which, you know, absorbs the odor. Yeah, not really. Not really. No, no. No, no. You should smell my kid's diaper.

It didn't hold you. Not good. Yeah, no, no. All right, moving on. Power your shower by doing this. If you want to start your morning with a lot of energy, stand under warm water for a couple minutes, then turn down the temperature and get a blast of cold water for one minute,

then go back to warm. No, I'm good. Most importantly, your shower with freezing cold water because it improves circulation, which jolts your mood. You'll also find that during your workday, your hands and feet won't get as cold. That's from a book called Alter Your Life by Kathleen Hall. Warm, cold, warm, cold. You would wake up Caitlin if you went to cold.

Why? Because I'd be like, I don't take cold showers. I don't like that. I like the room to be freezing cold because, especially when I sleep, because I like to have lots of blankets on me. so I need a comfort, even if it's 100 degrees, I got to have a comfort on top of me, but I like it to be cold outside, warm underneath, and then only warm showers, hot showers, hot baths. That's it, only warm. Yeah, I don't like the cold at all. So that's apparently, if you want to be successful in life and make a lot of money, that's what you need to do. Money has a lot to do with friendships.

This is from a book called Smart Money Strategies. During the first 10 years of being married, a majority of the couple surveyed consistently choose to hang out with other couples whose income mirrors their own. own people who have the same amount of money to spend on restaurants, vacations, entertainment, naturally are able to spend time with each other and have to worry that they're going over or under or not maintaining the same lifestyle as their friends, which could be seen as a good or bad thing depending who you are. It's also why famous people tend to hang out with other famous people because they meet at events, exclusive to famous people, and they have basically enough money to do the same stuff.

Amy thoughts. Yeah, I see how that could happen. And then just being aware and conscious of different relationships and knowing like, hey, if you think a friend may not be able to do what you're doing, how can you think of something that they could do? I don't do that. I just pay for it. Invite them over for dinner or that. And I like that. That's why we always hang out.

I'm like enough to have money. So come on. I'll pay for it. And then that's it. Yeah. Well, I just, yeah. Because, yeah, we don't want to lose friendships because of money. Right.

But you do. Because I mean, or I would want someone to think of me or yes, pay for me. It depends. Like it's all different. You got some friends you make more than some friends make way more than you. Yeah. I think it's easier though if you all come from the same place. Yeah.

Meaning if I'm with somebody who's like a rich stock market family, New Yorker and they've always had a ton of money, that's weird to me. Like that's like you don't even understand what it's like to have to spend money. You just always had money. But those are trauma issues that I have to deal with. I do. and have to pay money to deal with them too. Still today. Do you see, though,

like you're the generation that broke that for you? Like your kids. So far. Don't give me credit yet. Why? You're going to lose it all? You're going to lose it all before your kids?

That would be impressive. Never know. That would be awesome. I'm telling you. I'm scared to death of it. I'm scared of death of it. From Yahoo, a Kentucky man buys a $5 lottery ticket

while camping and returns to his campsite with a bottle of champagne because he goes about a $5 dollar grilling and chill and scratch off ticket was $75,000. He purchased a winning ticket And then he went over and he bought some champagne, took it back and was like, let's celebrate. They're like, why.

He goes, I want $75,000. That's awesome. That's pretty cool. A record holding, oh, I saw this story about the professor who's also a scientist and he was living underwater for all that time. It looked like a pumpkin, but it was like some sort of like ball. Did you guys see any picture of videos? Okay. So this scientist claims that he's increased his lifespan by 20% after living 93 days underwater.

Now, his name is Joseph Deterri. he's a retired naval officer. He's been living inside a 100 square foot pod at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for 93 days, researching how pressurized environment impacts the human body. Now he's not living with a mask.

The mask. He's in like a ball. And then there's a little circle where you can see the water out there. It's like a little pod house, but it is under the water. And so he was down there again for almost 100 days.

He says now that when he looks at the different parts of his body, and he took all these tests. He claims that one, a lot of his chromosomes have deaged, which I guess this ending is getting younger, but that he has 10 times more stem cells. He has 66% deep REM sleep every night. His inflammatory markers have made cut in half and his cholesterol has dropped by 72 points.

What? I'm going to take a long bath tonight. That's what I want to see. You can take a bath all night? Hey, you heard about the scientist? But he's not wet. He's just under the water. Yeah, stop.

Okay. Right? We all can't live the same life, Eddie. No, I'm just saying you in the tub is not the same thing as this guy. How do you know? It makes me think of how Michael Jackson wanted to live in our sleep in the hyperbaric chamber. But isn't that kind of doing the same thing to your body? Pressurizing your body?

Yeah, but hyperic chamber you can crawl out of and be right back in the real world. That is true. I know. But it's interesting, too, that when we go down into the ocean, we de-age. They say astronauts age. more rapidly up in space. The health changes are due to pressure, which is similar to the process

in the hyperbaric chambers, which are found to improve. Blood flow, brain metabolism, brain. You knew that. You sent this story. I didn't know that about that. I didn't. I was like, dang.

I was like, dang. Amy said this story. And I look over and I saw where Amy said this story. I did send the story, but I actually didn't read that part. I just know it. I promise. I promise.

Just randomly brought up Michael Jackson. Just randomly tossed the microcheggall hyperbaric chamber thing. Now, okay, I can't know things. Well, you can, but you acted like you knew it out of nowhere. When I was like, where do I get this story? It was for me? I like it.

Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, you're welcome. Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse made $120 million this weekend, which is a ton, ton, ton of money. And so it's a cartoon, which Mike D tells me, don't call it a cartoon. What do I call it, Mike? It's animation. And the difference is? That it's way more complex.

It would be like somebody telling you, like, you play video games that are meant for kids. They're not for kids anymore. Same thing with this movie. But I do play video games that are meant for kids, but just now adults like them too. Exactly. Same thing with animation. All right. Did you watch it?

Oh, yeah, I loved it. I think it's one of the best comic book movies of all time. Is it better than the Spider-Man with the humans in it? This one, it's not. I think the first one is. The first one is my favorite of all time, but this one's not as good as that one. All right, thank you. LSU football unveils air-condition helmets for the 20-23 season.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, I just wonder, like what can go wrong? If all of a sudden somebody's like flopping around, you're like, oh, the helmet wrote, he's getting shocked. I don't know, is there some kind of like, is there a fan in there? And how are they going to cheat with this, right? And how can you hack it? Like, how can someone hack the helmet?

Yeah. I just started thinking of all the things that can happen wrong here. But if, and by the way, shout out Baton Rouge, but it gets real hot. Inhuman. It gets real. I love, I'm not going to say I love LSU football because I'm in Arkansas, Razzie Bike fan.

And actually, I hope they, I mean, I hope they, I mean, win every game. It's not us. But I ain't gonna act like I like you a whole lot, the sports team. That being said, I'm jealous that you guys have air-conditioned helmets, and apparently nobody else does. Did they create this? Did you know Gatorade was made by the Florida Gators? Yeah.

I think we've done a fun fact on that. I was kind of talking to the audience more than you guys because I knew you did. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So several tigers tried on the helmets in a video that made the rounds, and the helmet will have a five-hour lifespan before needing to be charged and will last up to four years. So they have

But air-conditioned helmet. That is pretty cool. Eminem was the first choice for Paul Walker's role in The Fast and the Furious. When it comes to action franchises, they say the original cast was thought that Eminem, but due to scheduling, he was unable to take the role and went to Paul Walker. Wow. That is from CBR. Disney World has Flaming Hot Cheetos Cupcakes. That does sound pretty good.

It does sound pretty good. Hot Cheetos Cupcakes. Flaming Hot Cheetos, I can't say that I grab it first, but if it's there, I'm reminded how good they are. I'm also reminded, I don't know, six hours later how good they aren't. Right, when you're sitting down somewhere. But I think that would probably be pretty good. Flaming Hot Cheetos Cupcakes. So like sweet but spicy.

Yeah, it's like a straight cupcake, but in the middle of it, it's got the Flaming Hot Cheetos. According to the Disney Food Blog, the Cupcake Shop is known for iconic cupcakes and the iconic cupcake ATM, which you can go up to and put money and boop and it just comes out. Disney Food Blog. Hawaii Airport shuts down gates. a bed bug infestation. Oh, no. Yeah, it's tough. Bed bugs were discovered in Terminal 2.

I guess I'm surprised that there aren't more bedbugs in airports because everybody that comes through and everybody has luggage and just the bed bugs generally exist in places. Yeah, good point. I don't know. It must have just been so bad. Maybe they don't travel well. Bedbugs? Like they don't have a passport or what?

No, they say not to put your suitcase on the bed because that's where you get them and you bring them home. Why don't you put you just in the bed anyway? That's disgusting. Your suitcase has been everywhere. Well, yeah, you put on the bed and then you unload it. You never put your suitcase on the bed. Not for bed bugs. That's disgusting.

No, they say not to. Yeah, but we do it anyway. No, no, that's what I'm talking to is you guys. Your suitcase has been sent through the ringer. It's been up in the little top, the overhead compartment. It's been rolled, it's been dragged, and you're just going to throw it on your bed where you sleep. Well, the bed's like almost eye level. It's perfect.

And it's right in the middle of the room. Yeah. But that's why they have that thing, the wood thing that unfolds. The luggage rack. And you put your... Oh, that's where you throw you dirty clothes so you don't lose them. Okay. You can.

Oh, that's disgusting that you guys do that. They're a reminder right now as to why you don't touch the top of the comforter. Bedbugs were discovered in Terminal 2 of Hawaii's Daniel K. Innoi International. The presence of gross insects was first reported earlier this week. Then a Southwest Airlines manager confirmed the presence of bedbugs the next day. Gates E5, 6, and 7 were shut down and they did deep cleaning. My guess is there's no way they would just only be in those three. 5, 6, 7.

Yeah, they've gone to other gates. I would assume they had other places. wanted to go. They don't travel well, Amy says. Travel Pulse had that story. One more story for you. The script for The Flash 2 has already

been completed. The Flash, which is a movie that isn't even out yet. It comes out June 16th. It has Ezra Miller. Didn't he get a bunch of trouble movie, Mike? They said he was like had women in a cold or something?

Yeah, so there may not be another one. He may not be in it. Do you remember what they said about this guy? I don't remember the specifics. I don't want to say anything wrong. I say stuff wrong all the time. Or just have Amy do it. Yeah, just Amy.

That's true. Go ahead, Amy. Yeah, NPR's always listening, ready to correct her. Okay. So, yeah, variety had the story there, but I bring this up because Scoob's Steve, I've given you 15 minutes a day during the show to go work on your script. Yes, to be fair, this is not the best environment for me to relax and think of that stuff. It doesn't matter.

It's always an excuse. But I have an answer. So this weekend, I have carved out time to work with my writing partner to work on this project. But you're depending on somebody else, and if they cancel, you're not doing it. No, no, this is my guys for like 15 plus. years. Okay, still, though. So you're saying you're not going to take

the allotted 15 minutes to walk to my office and work on the script that you've been waiting 10 years to do, but you haven't found time for it. If I feel inspired during this. It's all excuses. I'm done. It's all excuses. The problem is, is this is not a relaxing environment for me to sit down. Why do you have to be relaxed?

Because there's stress here for my job as far as getting things done and making sure things were supposed to be and deal with personnel and yada, yada, yada. I would like to be in a space where I can creatively relax and focus on it. And this is not for it. I mean, think about it. Like, if I came to you like, hey, Bobby, midshaw, I want you to stop down. And if that's the only time I had, I wouldn't make an excuse to say, I have 15 minutes, I'm going to get as much, I'm going to squeeze as much from this turnip that I possibly can.

But I took your motivation and I put it to what works best for me. Motivation's bull crap. Discipline is where it's at. Motivation means nothing in life. You can be motivated all day long to do stuff. I'm so motivated. Motivation, the gas runs out super quick. You got to, you got a thimble full of gas when you're motivated.

You're disciplined and you're doing stuff when you're not motivated and you're doing stuff whenever it doesn't feel good to do. do it, that's when you know that you're on the track to get something done. And all I hear from you is that I don't feel great, my tummy hurts. Oh, I got an earache. Oh, my toe, my toe is sore. He's dealing with personality. It's constantly something, so you don't really want to do it. My thought is you're afraid to fail and you're going to write it and you know that there's a chance that nobody takes it and you spent 10 years wondering about it. Now it doesn't work. And so you're like, dang, I did it and didn't work. So I'm a loser. I say, that's where I say you're wrong. I've, I've quit jobs multiple times and moved across the country multiple times and taken chances. So that's in me. It's in my DNA to make

this happen. You're right. It does sound like excuses. It does sound like a little weenie. It does sound like I'm creating a bunch of crap. For listeners, I'm not giving them a hard time out of nowhere. We've had this conversation like four times. Yeah. How long have you had this idea? For 10 years. And why haven't you done it? Mostly because the time and life gets in the way. Kids, family, job work. Yeah, that's it. That's every thing. Everybody. The oldest. The oldest is five. I see where You mean they had five whole years? Oh, wow, wow. That was job and work and life.

I have to go, but I'm just exhausted of your whining. So I'm going to... Scova, do it now. It's okay. He wants to wait till the weather's right. What's the person else that he's been doing? Lunchbox? I'm a picture lunchbox.

You know, I love you, but... I know, I know. And I appreciate your honesty and being up front of me. Yeah, guys, he had a vasectomy. You got to think of all the things that he's gone on in his life. That's perfect time to work on it while you just sitting, healing. Exactly. No, it ain't right for him, though. Nope, it wasn't right for me.

Air pressure was, the barometer, the humidity wasn't exactly. All right, thank you. That's the news. Those were Bobby's big. Stories. This story's got to be true and can't be a lie at all. A 19-year-old pregnant virgin claimed she was impregnated by evil spirit. Okay. All right. I believe it. That's a good one, though.

Women are crazy. Uh-huh. For her. It sounds to me, if I'm just speculating, unless his name is evil spirit, she probably got actually knocked up and then now she's just like, what do I say to get out of this? She sparked controversy after telling media that she believed she was impregnated by a supernatural force. The unnamed woman said that after experiencing strange dreams and feeling supernatural presences in her room, she started missing a period and her mother took her to the gynecologist for a checkup.

That's when the 19 year old version, who claims to have never hooked up with a dude, found out she was pregnant. There can't be anyone that believes this. Our parents. No way. Even the mom's got to be like, you're lying. Who was it? Well, I mean, just DNA test. Yeah, how do you DNA test Satan?

Is he in the database? Yeah. Is he 23 in me? We got a little something on him to know what's up. She acknowledged that her version of events is hard to believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right about that. Not hard.

We just don't believe it. And she admits that she doesn't fully understand how she got pregnant either. I do. What happens is you see a guy that you like. You hit it off. You're going to go to the whole thing. Yeah, I was going to. But for time purposes, I will not.

But boy, that is quite the story. Like, she went for it, huh? Why go evil, you know? You want to say like Casper the Friendly Ghost? Like a friendly ghost? Like a friendly spirit? No, I don't know. the lie. I'm going as crazy of a lie as I can possibly tell. I'm going full evil. I was taken

over. My eyes rolled back in my head. Or aliens. Like that's another one. All I remember is I woke up and I couldn't move. My body was paralyzed and I was surrounded by six different small creatures where their heads were like oblong shaped. And I remember fading in and out as one of them said, we shall do this now. And the next thing I know, I woke up and it all felt like a dream. But it also felt real. And then I went to the doctor and they told me I was pregnant. I think it's probably from that night. I just don't know even which one of them, what? Oh, I would go hard.

I'd go hard. Yeah. So, here's a quote. This one guy taking her side. She'd tell him the truth. I've heard of other cases like this. He's the dad. Check him.

Check him. That's funny. The last thing her father or mother should do is kick her out of the family home. The 19-year-old girl is not the first to claim. She's been impregnated by a supernatural force. Back in 2021, there was a woman who claimed a gust-up wind to made her pregnant. Now that's that's balsy. A gust of win.

Yeah, yeah, that's a tough win. Because a gust of wind, you'd be, have to be naked. I don't even think that would work. It won't. It won't work, but you would have to even be naked for the idea of that to, I'm not even going to say to be, I don't know, I wouldn't humor that at all. I'd be like, that's not true, but it's like you're getting a hot tub. You know, you remember that thing? That's not going to happen.

But at least that, you're naked. But that's also not going to happen. But Augusta win? I mean, I guess you don't have to get pregnant. Though if you're making it up, does it have to be the actual way you get pregnant? Or can you just like inhale something? That's what she did, but it doesn't do her mouth. Yeah.

Oh. She inhaled it. Yeah, that is a wild story. Weekends. Amy, how was your weekend? It was really good. I did like a lot of packing, organizing. The kids move into their dad's house today.

Well, everybody kind of does. So we have like a lot that was just being. The kids are moving out of your house? No, they'll be at my house one week on and his house one week off. But we've been mostly moving back and forth. We had an apartment and we were moving. And now we've got it at the house. So we were just kind of getting everything like the kids new beds.

They need kind of double of some things. So they don't have to like all their toiletries. And so they're just getting everything ready to know. So you're going to have a week without kids? Not in the next. Oh, it's eating on wild. There's some oats. They're going to be sewed, boys.

But you realize I've had that, but just at an apartment. Like, we've been doing this for a while now. So in my life's very much the same. My bad. In fact, I've had to, like, work on not isolating myself too much because I can go for several days without really talking to anybody. I went to lunch with some girlfriends, and I even told them, like, hey, I need to, y'all to hold me accountable for this because I don't want to just like.

Like a welfare check? Stay home. Amy? You good? Yeah. So I kind of am really good at being alone. Kayla left to go. I was in Oklahoma all weekend.

We went to Oklahoma City to the Women's College World Series, watch softball, watch Utah, watch Oklahoma, because we have family that coaches both of those teams. I had to do the show on Friday of last week, so I didn't leave. But she left on Thursday morning. And then I left on Friday after the show. So I had a whole 24 hours where she wasn't there.

And I was like, I'm going to play video games the whole time. I'm going to play golf with Eddie. I'm going to do just everything I wanted. I was going to go hard. So, and I did, then went hard. And so on Thursday, you know, we did the show, we'll play golf. I had like six popsicles. I had two big boxes of those crackers.

I forget what they're called, but they're really good crack. The simple mills. Oh, yeah. I had two whole boxes. And so me going hard was all the popsicles and all the crackers. I felt terrible for two days. And so my going hard is different than other folks. But also, it's not good when she's gone because at least she can put the governor on me like,

hey, have you had a whole box of crackers today? Yes. Okay, maybe we shouldn't eat any more of those today. And she's not doing it because she doesn't want the crackers to be gone. She knows I'm just going to be like, oh, my stomach hurts for a whole day. So that's what I did. And I regret it. I found the popsicles on the side of the road, though.

What do you mean? I forgot. I did a whole TikTok about it. I was talking about the craziest things you found on the side of the road. I was driving home and there was a big box of popsicles, not like a box you buy in the grocery store, but like a big, like a... A cardboard box? Like it fell out of a trap?

Like a huge one. Like your moving box and you take your arms and you make a squibing. wear out of your elbows, 90 degrees. Is a box that big? And I'm like, is that a box of popsicle? So I pulled over, I put them in the car. I went home, I opened them up. And that had all the little boxes of popsicles.

Well, that's amazing. It was amazing. So that's why I ate so many. I don't want them to go bad. I don't want to waste. Waste not one of course. You don't want to waste. Popsicles.

I forgot. I found popsicles on the side of the road. Wow. I love popsicles, smoothies, soup. So any of that stuff on the side of the road. Wait, wait. Did you eat all of those popsicles? Well, I had a lot of them.

I had the whole box, one of the boxes of red. Okay. I'm sure what flavor red was, but I had the whole box of reds. So that's what I did. Had a great time in Oklahoma. Everybody that I said hello to, and said hello to me in Oklahoma City. It was a really great, amazing time. It rained out a game, which stunk.

It was super hot another day, but it was a lot of fun. So it's a really cool event. But yeah, the popsicle thing was pretty tough. Then I had two snow cones while I was there. Oh, no. I know. You went hard. I did go hard.

Eddie, your weekend? Oh, it was fantastic, man. Yeah, it was great. It was been one of the best weekends. my life. What happened? My family was in Texas. And so I just kind of hung out. All of them? Your wife and for them? Everyone. I mean, it was just, I mean, I don't want it. Actually, it wasn't that much. Just in case they're listening. It wasn't that much fun. You kept calling me sad. Yeah. I missed him so much. I missed him so much. No, I played golf. I wrote on a plan. I mean,

I did all sorts of stuff that like, it was just great. It was like, if you called me and said, hey, do you want to go, um, I don't know. You want to go sewing? Sure. I'm not doing anything. Let's go sewing. Like, it was that kind of weekend and I loved it. But I was so ready for them to come back. They came back last night and it's been great. Now we're going to. I'm so glad they're home now. You didn't do anything stupid like I did?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Dude, I stepped up to four in the morning on Saturday. And that's cool, but... No, that's crazy. I haven't done that in years. Four a.m. What are you doing? Video games, movies. I mean, anything. I ordered pizza. It was, dude, honestly, we'd be losers if we were single. Yeah, yeah. I know. I was reminded of that.

Big time. About three popsicles in, I was like, this is not going to feel good. It's already starting not to feel good. But I was like, yeah, let's have another. I put a pizza in the oven at midnight. I'm like, this is crazy. All I had for dinner on Thursday night was crackers.

So dumb. Now I'm seeing why y'all think I'm going to go so hard on my week off. Come on, Amy. Yeah, yeah. Lunch, dot, da, da, da, da. Lunch, pocket your weekend? Exhausting. My wife was out of town, so I was a single dad of three kids.

So you guys living in a lot. She didn't take the kids? No. Oh. She went to Austin to see her. and go to some TV festival. And I was with three kids. So you guys talking about staying until four in the morning and cooking pizzas and eating

popsicles. Yeah. Crackers for dinner. Oh, man. I was just trying to stay alive. No, no, no. No, no. There was none of that.

It was like, oh, my gosh, all three alive. Oh, my gosh, I got to get dinner. It's 8 o'clock and they haven't eaten dinner. Should have called us. We had playtime in our hands. It ain't crackers and popsicles. Oh, man. We're perfect.

Verizon's my plans, all that giving you control of your phone plan. So here's what we're going to do here on this show. First of all, you get exactly what you want. You only pay for what you need and you turn on the perks whenever you want. So you control what we do here on the show in this segment. This week you control the game that we're going to play on Friday. So all you have to do is call and leave us a voicemail on our line at 877-77 Bobby. That's our number.

You tell us what you want. Do you want an old game? Bring a game back. A new game. Suggest a new game. Just call our voicemail line and leave it. You control the show. 877-77 Bobby.

Take control the show and your phone plan with my plan from Verizon. This story comes up to us from Fort Collins, Colorado. Police got a report of a suspicious man in the neighborhood looking through cars. So they show up to the neighborhood and they recognize the guy that has several warrants. So they say, woo-woo, woo-woo, and he says, nah-uh, runs, jumps in the river, floats down the river for six hours to evade police. Did he evade them? Yeah, six hours.

No, no. Initially they got him. Oh, he didn't tell us that part. Oh, man. I mean, that's a float trip right there. And you got away from the cops. So what do they do? You just walk alongside him as he's floating?

All right, we see you, buddy. We're waiting for you. Like, you're really going anywhere. They never got in the water. And there was parts where he was shallow enough where he'd get up and walk. And I'm like, well, why wouldn't you just go tackle him then? But they just waited for six hours. They don't want to get wet.

I get that. Is it like Duke's a hazard, though, when he crosses the county line, they're like, dang it. We can't go get him anymore. He made it. All right. I'm Lunchbox, and that's your Bonehead Story of the day. Glad you guys are here.

Let's do the Good News Countdown. It's the Good News Countdown. Counting down the biggest good news stories across the land. Let's go. Number three. A nurse named Emily was flying home to Baltimore after a vacation with her boyfriend, who also used to be a nurse, and they ended up saving another passenger's life. The guy collapsed, turned purple.

They jumped in, kept doing CPR until he finally came back seven minutes before their flight landed. They say they got a lot of high-fi. from people on board. Yeah. And hopefully a voucher from whatever airline it was. Say that, when you do CPR for a long time,

like a long, because they did CPR for basically like a half an hour, I think. And so you're doing CPR for a long time because it said seven minutes before their flight landed. So two things. One, I think I would go like 10

and they'd be like, well, I guess he's out. We lost them. Yeah. I would do that noise on my mouth. E! Don't do that to us. And then secondly,

do you have to get back and put your seatbelt on and quit if you are starting to descend? Oh, yeah. Because you know the rules are, we're now going down. So guys get back in your seats. But congratulations to this guy. He survived, purple and all.

All right, next. Number two. A 96-year-old woman of Canada broke a world record of the weekend. She ran a 5K in just over 51 minutes. It is the fastest time ever recorded by a woman over the age of 95. Whoa. Yeah, you guys are like, that doesn't that fast. Because of 5K is, what, 3.7 miles, something like that.

And so she did, how many? 3.1. 3.1. Let's say, like, Mike D. run seven minute miles, it would take him 22 minutes or so. It took her 51 minutes. Oh my goodness. Now, she's 95. Right, right. She's old. That's crazy. The fact that she could even jog at 95. Yeah, yeah, shout out. What makes a jog, though? Like at what speed? Not walking. Anything faster than a walk. You go from a walk to a jog, I think as soon as you stop walking.

I don't know. I just like, you know it when you see it. You know when you do. A little hop, you know. Yeah, it's just like your feet. I don't know. I have no idea. All right, next up. Number one. A billionaire named Robert Hill Jr.

spoke at UMass's Boston graduation. And he surprised 2,500 students by giving them $1,000 each. So he basically gave away $2.5 million. What? There was a condition, though. He asked them to keep half for themselves and give the other half to a family member or someone who helped them get to where they are today. Love it.

But he handed out $2.5 million. You know what I gave out? When I did my speech at the University of Arkansas? What? Advice. That's kind of like that. We didn't all I have, man. I'm being honest with you.

Wish I'd have had a billion dollars. All right, that's the good news countdown. That was the good news countdown. I just want to say a couple things. First of all, so we want to give you control of what we do here on the show. And this is what you get to pick for us to do this week. Because Verizon's my plan. It's all about giving you control over your phone plan.

You get exactly what you want. Only pay for what you need and turn on perks whenever you want. And so this week you control the game that we're going to play on Friday. So call in, leave us the voicemail of the game that you want us to play. It could be never going to get it. We could bring back an old game like Elder versus Millennial. It's up to you. Call us.

Tell us what game you want to hear. 877-77-Bobby. That's our voicemail number. 877-B-O-B-B-WI. You take control of the show and your phone plan with my plan from Verizon. That's it. We'll see you tomorrow. Hope you have a great day.
