Coming up later in the show, she's a PhD in education. She has her own company where she works with kids that have dyslexia. She tests kids. She's coming in to test us for dyslexia. Not so much as a bit where we're like, this would be funny. Eddie was genuinely wondering if he had it. No, I'm serious about it. Right.

So we talked about it on the air. She called and said, I can test you guys. So we're all going to take the test so none of us feel lonely. And dyslexia is where you read backwards? Yes. Got it. Well, it's one version of it. You don't read it backwards.

You see things differently. Yeah. But the easy way that we were told was you read things backward. Yeah. I think it's more than that. Yes, but that's what it is. Thank you. We'll take that test coming up just a little bit.

You guys feel good? Yeah. Doesn't sound like it. Yeah, like mine like instead of motorcycle, sometimes I say like cycle motor. I felt that, yeah. That's like my problem. Eddie will be like, hey, bones bobby. I'm like, no, no, no, no.

He does say that a lot. I never knew and realize that. Kenos. We go to Kenos and get like a cherry lime made. Kenos? Oh, Sonic. Yeah, and I'm like, Eddie, it's called Sinai. I've never done that one.

Oh. All right. Here's the question. Around the room. How old were you when you had your first kiss? What was the story behind it? Uh, yes. French kiss.

Whatever you want to say. Amy. I was probably 12, 13, and I was at my friend's house, and our boyfriend's rollerbladed over, and we were in her driveway. And he was on rollerblades, and I was not. And he gave me a kiss before they left. He was on rollerblades, and you weren't. So he's way taller than. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. But I, yeah. Were you like, oh, God. Was it Kinsey's house? And his name was Shea. Was Kinsey happy for you? Yeah, it was not her first kiss. So, yeah.

Oh, classic kids. Not in that way. You said what you said? No. No, but yeah, I think she was kind of like, yay, you did it. Eddie, first kiss? Who was it with? Oh, man, fifth grade.

So I must have been, what, 11 years old. We were at the roller skate rink. And the girl, I liked her because she looked like Joe Montana a little bit. And I was a huge Joe Montana fan. Huge Joe Montana fan. And I had a crush on her. Yeah. And because she kind of looked like Joe Montana a little bit.

Montana, and man, we, like, sat over there where the, where the tables were, and we were talking, I held her hand. Then I went for it. Got that first kiss. Call me Jerry Rice, baby. You flew that tongue in there? No, no, no, no. It was just a peck. No, no, no, we're talking tongue, right?

I said there's no rules. I literally said it's up to you what you consider your first kiss. That, to me was my first kiss. Got it. Legit box. Oh, my first tongue kiss. We'll go there because my first kiss was like kindergarten. But it was a summer before sixth grade.

We were over at Brooke Williams's house. She lived around the corner from me. and it was me, my brother, Jackson Baker, Kelly Tonight, my sister was there, and we were playing truth or dare. And I said, dare you to French Kelly tonight. And I was like, all right, never done. He goes, you want me to show you how you do it? And he freaking took Brooke Williams and made out with her. And so then I made out with Kelly tonight.

Who were these guys? Does anybody still call, and obviously as a kids, it was known as a French kids. But is that even a thing with kids now, a French kid? I don't think so. A French kiss. No, you just kiss. Like the French kiss. I mean, I'm sure they know what it is, but I doubt they're special.

They're just like, we kiss. Do you guys get lit in French kiss last night? I mean, they're sure asking each other, have you Frenched her yet? No, I don't think so. No. To us, though. Did you make out with her instead of like French kiss? Make out, yeah.

Yeah, but I mean, it was truth or dare right there in the summer, right at Brooke Williams's house. It was great. I was a little older. It's closer to driving age, closer to driving age. Oh, boy. And I didn't kiss anybody, and we were playing truth or day. I spend the bottle. And now it's just a quick version.

It landed on this girl, and I was in Kansas City. I was roofing with my uncle. And it landed on this girl. And it landed on me, and that she looked at her friends, said, do I have to? Oh. And that was my first kiss ever. And so her friend said, yeah, you have to. Yeah.

That's part of the game. She was like, you have to. And that's my first kiss. Wow, man. Will give her a shout out? I start crying. Did she look like an NFL player or anything? Yeah, she did.

Joe Nameth. Oh, that's cool, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She guaranteed a victory. That's the deal. not to be sad, but that is how it happened. Ramon Do you have one you want to share with this? Yeah, I guess I'll go with lunch on the French kiss.

Sixth grade, it was after football. All my buddies go, you got a kiss or you got a kiss. You got a Frencher, dude. You've been dating there for two weeks. Lindsay Hawes, right after practice, French jured. I mean, it was terrible. I don't even know if I knew how to kiss. We were definitely hitting teeth.

Yeah, I still do that. Sorry. Clank, clink, clink. Let's go. Big show. I think everybody's a little nervous because the dyslexia test. Yeah, a little bit. I'm nervous. Not that I think that I have dyslexia, but if I lose to any of you, I'll never hear the end of it.

It's not a competition. It is because it's all you guys. But if we had to guess, you're likely going to break higher. That's why it's going to be worse if I don't. That's why I'm nervous. Okay, I understand that. Boom. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I know there are plenty of people making a name for themselves as well as some money through videos on TikTok, but I don't want my wife to use our kids.

My wife's been posting mom-related videos on TikTok. They're fun. They're parental tips. They're stories. She's been able to pull in some money. However, she wants to boost her views. She started involving our kids. Only one of whom is a teenager, two who are younger. The younger ones, is where I want to draw a line because I don't think our kids should be involved in this kind of thing. I don't think my wife can see the damage that can come from a life on social media, including bullying, self-esteem, issue, shaming, and a distorted view of reality. I just want my kids to be kids

and not forced into the spotlight. What do you think? My wife doesn't see it that way. It thinks it would be more fun for them to do, and it would expand the brand. How do you guys see it? Signed, father of a TikTok family. Yeah, it's tricky, and I think

you've got to set boundaries, and if you're both not cool with it, then you can't be cool with it. I think that's any single one as a veto on that one, because you're involving your kids, kids. Amy? Yeah, I'm leaning towards supporting you in this because you're, the kids maybe be able to say, oh yeah, we think it's fun. We want to do it. The team I'd be okay with though. The team, like he said,

the two younger ones. But if they're younger, they don't, they don't even know really what it is that they're doing fully. So I'm, I'm with you. I'm with the husband. Yeah, me too. And that, that's a, sometimes it's a, it's a majority vote. And you need a majority of vote to change it. But I think this is a single veto rule. If either one of you aren't good with both of the young kids, then you can't be good with both of the young kids. Eddie? Yeah, we have this rule. I mean, we set that rule early because, you know, my little ones, they don't really know what they're doing. They just think like, oh, fine. I think even today, like if I would go home today and record a video of my kids, they just think that it's going to,

you know, just live in our photo album. They don't think. No, they don't, Eddie. No, they really do, because I never post them. Yeah, but, oh, you mean, if you're, but they know what it is. No, they know what the video is. I thought you meant they'd be like, what's Instagram. No, but I think the little, little ones, like for this guy that's riding in, like, for his little ones, they just think they, oh, this is mom and dad just recording a video fun. They don't know that it's being viewed by people. I don't know what they know. I would think a five-year-old would know pretty easily. What's TikTok?

Really? But the magnitude of who's watching and who can see that video? Lunchbox, what do you think? Oh, man. See, I don't post my kids. Me and my wife agreed on that from the jump. But if you're making a lot of money, sometimes you've got to sell your kids out. No, no, no.

But the question I would say is, do you think a five or six-year-old would know? TikTok and 100,000 people have watched it because I do. I think you know it by then. You're crazy. I think they kind of know. Just like two-year-olds know a touchscreen, an iPad. And you're like, wow, that's crazy they can do that. A five-year-old doesn't know what 150,000 people is.

Like, they don't know what that is. They may not be able to actually picture it, but they may even equate that to be millions, like in their mind. Like there's a lot of people. But they realize it's going to everybody's phone. Like anybody can watch it. I think they understand that. Huh.

Well, yeah, I don't know. I'm on this guy's team. I think we all are. Yeah. But Lunchbox, let's say, because you don't put your kids on the internet, but let's say someone said, hey, if you'll do a video with your kids' faces and you do a TikTok dance, we'll give you $250,000. Oh, man, I'd have to do it. You'd put their face on.

What would your wife say? If you said, hey, it's good for the brand, would she be like, okay, fine? I mean, $250,000 split by, I mean, she gets $125,000. I get $125,000. That's how it works exactly. Oh. They just split it and goes into accounts. I would just think if it happened, like, we just get $250,000.

I didn't think about $1. Because they have separate account. No, I know, but I just, my mind wouldn't go like that. I'd have to ask her because that's tough. But I mean, if you're getting paid that much money, I mean, you. But you would ask her. What if they were like, you have to do it the next five minutes and you can't ask your wife? I'd do it.

I'd do it for the $250K. Yeah. We figured you would. Dad, email her. If you have a veto and if you do veto, it's a veto. If any parent says no, I think this is a no. Yeah. They're both the y'alls. Yeah.

Especially something like this. We've got your email and we have the clothes. Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. I'm not a big review guy. I wish I were better at leaving positive reviews. I don't even leave negative reviews. I look at reviews.

If I'm going to look at a product or a service, but I never leave a review. Lunchbox left a negative review on something, which isn't totally out of character except for it took extra time to do it. Yeah. And he's not known as somebody who has a lot of initiative. So why? What affected you so much you left a negative review? Because I told you my New Year's resolution was to give my opinion more.

Is that even possible? And so be more vocal. So I woke up on Saturday and it was like 6.15 in the morning. The kids are up, ready to go, ready to eat. They're hungry. The wife's a little hungover. Had a couple too many glasses of wine. So she's staying in bed.

I'm like, we don't have anything. He didn't have to add that. He threw his wife under the bus for no reason. Yeah, go ahead. Didn't have anything to eat. eat and I look up, all right, restaurants that have breakfast. And there's a new one, you know, nearby says opens at 6 a.m. All right.

Let's get the car. Let's go. Let's go. We get there pulling the parking lot at 6.34 a.m. and on the door, it says open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Great. Walk up. Doors locked.

Hmm. Do it again. Lock. No one there. Hmm. Weird. They weren't open. Even though it says 6 to 9.

So I went... What did your review say? I said, it's weird how you say online. You went back home angry. You just didn't find another place to grab some food? Well, we did eat. I mean, I went to McDonald's. Yeah.

And I was like, it's weird how you have a restaurant that says it's open at 6 a.m. I was there at 6.34 a.m. on Saturday morning. Guess what? You weren't open and no one was in the building. So either correct your hours or be open the hours you say you're going to be one star. What if like there was some emergency that came up? And the person that was supposed to open couldn't give. So one person is responsible

for the whole store? The whole restaurant would be closed. You need chefs and cooks and some unforeseen circumstance. Maybe the person that was actually the person that opens the restaurant wasn't able I don't know. I don't want to make up a story good or bad because on the internet it says open

now. You held it. You went and got food. Like when you Google stuff, you know what I mean? And it says open now. It says open. How was your experience at McDonald's? I was fine. Did you give them a good review then? No, it's just normal. I mean, it's just you go to the kios. I mean, there's That's the annoying part. Not even someone there to take your order. You have to go to the little kiosk right there and order it.

And then they say, number 32. And they put it there. Not even one person? No, not someone at the register. They had people working the drive-thru. Wow. Great. But it's annoying.

You can get bad customer service when there's not humans. And they get your order right? Yeah. Yeah. They probably were able to save a little money on the cost of things because of being able to use technology. But I'm not, you didn't give a review to McDonald's, but you gave a review to. Yeah. I let them know.

You ever give a good review to anybody ever? Oh, yeah, I have before. Like an Airbnb when I went to Chattanooga. I put a five-star, like house was great. That's awesome. Everything was you needed. Beds, pillows, blankets. I like that.

That's good. They had beds there? Yeah. It's good. So you did good and you just decided, can they make it up? Can you change your review? If you do want, can you take your old one down? Oh, edit it?

I think you can. I think you can take it down. I don't know if you can edit it. So if you were to go and it'd be a good example. experience now, would you take it down? No, I would just maybe write another one saying, hey, gave this place a second shot. They were actually open the hours they say they're going to be open. Would you go?

Would you give a great business plan? They probably wouldn't remember. It's crazy how you tell people you're open and you're not open. Like it just seems like a bad marketing move. I understand your frustration, but I think they'd probably prefer to be open that something happened that was out of their control where they couldn't open. Because I don't think their model is, let's say we're open and not be open. and not make money.

But I felt that. Maybe you don't, I don't know. I don't like the one star. You think it'd be more effective to call the place and be like, hey man. I tried to call. Guess what?

They didn't answer. And I wouldn't have gone then. No, no. I called when I was in the parking lot. Like, thinking, oh, maybe someone answered the phone. Be like, hey, you forgot to unlock the door. No, no one answered. Now that I think about it, I think you can edit reviews

because I've seen updates. Like, I don't know if it's mom and pop. Yeah, yeah. I've never seen one before. No. Okay, so you have one sort of mom and pop. Lunch Fox. So probably mom didn't get there.

Right. And Pop's trying to get there. You know, it's sometimes not good to assign a story that we don't know. But I just always like to assume, you know, the best in people that they're not closed just to be rude to you. Like, there's a reason. Can you review all of us at the end of the show? Oh, my. You want me to review you?

No, no, don't do that. Why? Oh, let me, yeah, I can review you. Or maybe we do it later on in the week. Like, review all of us from the week. Okay. Give us a star amount. Love it.

Okay. Out of five? Yeah. Oh, boy. Yeah. We won't do it today. I don't thought on you, like Wednesday or something. Give us a review for the few days of the show.

All right. I'm not going to leave you in any direction. Yeah, yeah. What you guys bring, your attitude, your... What you would ride if they were a review. Comedy, yeah, yeah, yeah, or comedy, yes. It's time for the good news. With Amy.

Tell me something good. All right, so there's this girl, Emily Harris, and one of her most prized possessions is her signed Taylor Swift guitar that her dad got her when she was 16 years old. Fast forward, she's 30 now, and planning her wedding, and they just realized, They don't have a lot of the funds that they need to put on the wedding.

So she's like, hey, dad, I know you got this for me, but maybe we could see how much it's worth and we could sell the guitar to help pay for some of the wedding. So her dad not really knowing what to do, he went to a Taylor Swift fan site, like on Facebook, a fan group. And he was like, hey, how much would anybody pay for this guitar signed by Taylor? And Swifties couldn't handle the fact that she was about to part with something that she loved so much that her dad gave her when she was 16. so they all rallied together and donated money to put towards her wedding.

That's cool. Swifties are amazing. Any positive fan group that comes together, that's all. Like when sometimes you'll see somebody at football team, a kick or misses a kick, and those a game, the other team will get together and do a big donation to a charity. Any positive group that comes together, that's awesome. I mean, not all Swifties are amazing. What do you mean?

Ashshake Jelen Hall. They're all amazing. I don't want them coming after me. I don't think all of anything's amazing. They're even, hey, they're even bad B-teamers. No. Yeah, no, no. No way.

Again, like most Swifties, most people are good. I believe most Swifties are good. Most B-team, good. Every once in a while, you get a rotten egg in there. You have a Taylor Swift signed guitar? I do. Amy does. Oh, wow.

A listener gave it to me. I do not. We should sell that. Let's just say we are. All right, there you go. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

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

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

What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build resources. real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

It's very exciting. We can get lessons from one of the greatest people of all time. Greatest singers, greatest artists. Lunchbox got a lesson from one of the greatest to ever do it. The goat. Garth Brooks. Wow. He got a singing lesson. He had a audio, and I didn't believe him. And he brought it clips here. Where did you see Garth Brooks? I was at his grand opening of his bar. He has a bar now on Broadway, and him and Trisha Yearwood were there. And what was that like?

Is it cool? Was it packed? It was packed. Yeah. And I was like, man, this is great. And he comes up and he wants me to learn how to sing his song. So he gave me instruction. He approached you.

Yep. He sought you out. Got the mic, looked right at me and said, hey, need you to sing this song for me. Okay. I've not heard the clip yet. Here's Lunchbox and Garth Brooks. Yep, me and Garth Brooks. Go ahead.

You're not talking about, you're just recording him on a stage? This is him talking. I promise you guys. I thought that Lunchbox was like doing an interview. with Garth Brooks. He's not on stage. But he's not talking to just you. He's right in front of me. But he's telling the crowd.

No, no, he's talking to a crowd. Okay, finish it up, Ray. He's teaching the crowd lyrics. He's not giving anybody a singing lesson. I mean, Lunchbox's front row right in front of him. But I've been to a lot of concerts and I've sat in the first few rows. I mean, he's not even on stage. But I don't feel like the person doing the concert is teaching me a lesson. I was tricked. I was tricked into this segment.

He taught me how to sing that. He taught you the words with everybody. else in the room. He said, this is how I want you to sing it. It's all right. It's all good. No, we heard it. Yeah. So, pretty freaking cool, huh? No, it is cool, but you just set it up differently. If you had said you went to Garth Bar and he was teaching guys a song that had been like, oh, let's listen to it. But now we can't trust anything you say. Now, how long have you not been able to trust him? I thought I was turning over a new leaf today. I was really going to start trusting it. I hate, it felt like getting singing lessons from Garth Brooks, one of the greatest of all time is pretty neat.

I'm going to bring an Abby to Abby. You were there? I was there. And I hear that your experience of watching Lunchbox wasn't his same experience of what he's telling us. No, not at all. Was it awkward with him? Yes. Well, for one thing, that, yeah, he was not at all looking at you.

I don't even think he looked at you the whole time. Okay. Got it. Got it. But also, Mr. Cringe is back. Okay. He's the entire night. Respect his Captain Cringe.

Oh, sorry. Captain Cringe is the entire night. Okay, so Garth Brooks was walking around talking to people. So it was like all his family and friends. Every time I looked at Garth, like Lunchbox was next to him. I mean, I'm talking about upstairs, downstairs. I don't know what they're talking about,

but I know that Garth was going to go downstairs at one point. Lunchbox went down, waited for him at the bottom, and kind of like cornered him and was there. Like, I have several pictures because I'm like, what, are you obsessed? Were they actually talking? It was lunchbox just hovering. Well, he was pretty much hovering.

And there were cameras around Garth, so he wanted to get on every camera. Ding, ding, ding. He followed Garth around to get on his reality show? Oh, man. They were filming the last. Last episode of the docu series, they had the cameras rolling so you better believe I'm going to get my time in with Garth. We talked upstairs on the fourth floor and we were standing outside.

Yeah, me and Garth. And we stood outside and he was like, I was like, yeah, just you and Garth or does that count the whole crowd? Oh, man, let me pull up. No, I believe you, but you just live on, Eddie, let me pull up. I see a picture of you guys like looking up together. You have some other woman and Garth and. Yeah, we're looking up because I'm talking about, oh, man, it's a great space. Lunchbox is in every place Garth is.

Look at his picture. crammed himself in a different group. And Gar's like, oh yeah, we just put this tent up today. And he was like, because it was raining, we had to do the tent. And I was like, I didn't even notice the tent. I thought it was just a roof. He goes, no, but I'm thinking we may leave the tent up permanently. And we were just talking about.

What you say about that? I was like, now people want to be outside in the spring and the fall. Good call. Good call. Hey, did you see lunchbox being like this? Yeah, I mean, I thought it was funny. I mean, his wife was probably a little cringe. Lunch's wife was there too.

As a dude, I mean, I thought they were just kind of browing a little bit. He did follow him a tad, maybe two many times. Wow. But you're just showing us pictures of you near him. Okay. Lunchbox. Me and Garth talking to lunchbox in his wife. I see.

Yes, and they're looking up. Yeah. It's pretty cool, man. Talking about the root, the temporary roof. He wasn't asking you like, what's his next single? No, he was like, he didn't even say, hey, in a minute I'm going to teach you how to sing a song. He didn't even tell me that.

Did he know who you were? Just a person he was talking to because cameras around. No, he seemed like he knew who I was. He seemed or he did? He seemed like he did. He seemed like. It's really cool. It's really cool.

that this got to happen, but how you set it up diminishes a bit of what really happened. Because then look, later he puts me in a headlock. I mean, I mean... Like he tries to choke you out. Watch, watch. Starts waving.

Well, well, you stuck a camera in his face. We're best friends. And we're stuck a camera in his face. Yes. He's doing like a selfie video with him and Trisha. And so Garth's being nice. And then Trisha rubs my head. I mean, dude, we were hanging out all night.

Look at this. Look, I'm like, hey, look, I'm hanging out with my best friends. Trisha and Garth, VIP style. Hey, we're best friends. Do you ever do that with your real best friends? When you take a video like, hanging out with best friends? Not not really. Okay.

Watch this. Watch, watch Garth. You can give me a big old, hey, Oleg, watch this. Here we go. And get over here, Lutzbox. Ah. You do a, okay. And then Tricia.

Recording him on camera. So Garth feels like I said to do something. And then Tricia robs my head. I mean, guys, it was, there's nothing cringe about it. No, it was kind of out of control. You spilled your drink at one point. You were dancing around so much. Yeah, because they were filming the last song.

They wanted you to dance. And so I went out in front of the whole crowd and was dancing. And then I kind of drop my drink. Do you have fun there? That's a flat, man. That part's fun. Yeah.

But Garth wasn't giving you a singing lesson, which I thought this was going to do. But we did have a conversation about the roof. God to be like, because I got friends. And that's why he's friends. But no. I mean, do you meet Abby's boyfriend? I did. I did.

Yeah. Were you nervous to take your boyfriend? Yes, I was. Oh, she didn't even know. I mean, I am so good at paparazzi. I got a picture of the. them without them even knowing. Why?

I was there. I don't understand why. Oh, yeah. But wait a minute. You got a picture of them knowing. She didn't even know I was there. I creeped. She was in line to get in.

I crept up like a paparazzi with TMZ and nailed a photo. Did you meet him? I met it. Like spend some time with him? Yeah. Like Garth or like a normal human? Like a normal human. And what did you think about him?

He's quiet. He is quiet. He's very quiet. Well, did you let him talk? Yeah. No, because, yeah, you're so. overbearing. It was probably a lot to him and he kind of knows he are. So I think that may have it's awkward. No, he's not intimidated, but he probably was holding back. How she said that? He can

kick your butt. That's how she said it. Yeah, I think he could. Oh, yeah. Does that come up? Like, is he annoyed with lunchbox and he wants to, you know, I mean, he knows that he's not nice to me and so I don't think he likes that. That was an issue in my marriage. Yeah. It was. Yeah. And Amy decided that she picked lunchbox over her house. No, I didn't. No, this was in the early years. Like, it eventually, like, that ended and they liked each other. But my first two years on the show, like, I mean, there were times where I thought,

oh my gosh, he's gonna come up here and beat lunchbox up. Oh, my gosh. How long have you guys been together now? Oh, four months? And do you say you love each other? Yes, they do. You heard it? Did you hear them? Or you're just saying that? I'm just like her talk. You did not,

we did not say that. Okay, you didn't. We haven't yet. Okay. And let's say lat again. They look like the real deal? What's he look like? What celebrity? He's cute. Justin what?

I was going to say Justin Long, maybe. Okay, that's good enough for me. Let me see. Eddie, what do you think? Maybe not Justin Long. He looks like a race car driver. No, no, he looks like a guy. He works on a tractor.

Yeah, he's a good old country boy. A country boy, Justin Long. He's really not. I don't see the Justin Long bones. Yeah, maybe not. Just tall and skinny. I don't know. Ake a celebrity, I don't know.

Babi. That's awesome. Thank you for the story. And LushBugs, thank you for the singing lesson, audio. It's really great. Yeah.

And we love Gar. I should have given you audio of me like hanging out of guard when he put me in a headlock, but we can just play her from here. You asked her to do that? Oh, this is Captain Crinch. Those car keeps yelling.

Guard, Trisha. Best friends. Guard, Trisha. My best friends. Look at him. I know. They're trying to see people on you right there. He's talking third.

Let's play this. I feel like we owe Garth the song. Let's play. You want to play Garth song? I can sing it for you. Not that. Right now. Which one do you want to play? Amy, do you care? Wait, my best friend, I should play. It's not your best friend. So, can you throw back Garth? Like the river? Sure. Yeah. Here's a voicemail from April in Norman, Oklahoma.

Hey, Bobby Bone. Just wanted to tell you and Eddie. Love the raging idiots. I'm a kindergarten teacher and my class last week got to lead our weekly assembly. and they sang and dance to when I grow up, and then they dressed up like what they want to be when they grow up. And we had ones from ninjas to princesses to zookeepers to teachers. And it was so fun and it was the hit of all the assemblies. So I just wanted to say, love you guys and love the raging idiots. And hope you guys come back for a tour sometime.

Thank you very much. It's very kind. Thanks, everyone. That's cool. Eddie and I did a kids record a few years ago called The Raging Kidiates. and our big international number one hit was, I don't know if it was international or number one or hit, honestly, but it was when I grew up and school still perform it at, you know, different assemblies.

And when I grow up, up, up, I can be whatever I want, want, want, you'll see. So check it out. It's up there, the raging idiots. Next up, Megan from Minnesota. I was just calling to ask, what does a person have to do to get lunchboxes confidence? I mean, the guy doesn't need a mentor. People insult him all day long, rolls right off his back, How does he have that approach to life? What up, guy?

Just born with it, I guess. Maybe raised by my parents, right? I don't know. Do they have supreme confidence that borders and labels and sometimes gets into arrogance? No, I don't even know if they do have that. But, I mean, they just always taught me be you, do what you want to do. So it's not you're the best, just be you. Well, I am the best.

I mean, they believe in yourself. Amen. And if you don't believe in yourself, no one will. Okay, stop. Wow, man. It's true. No, no, I say that constantly. and every show.

You do? Does he really say that? I've heard it before you. Yeah, many, many times. I say it here on the show a lot too. But I'm just saying, like, I don't know how you get it. It's like, pot worth repeat. I wish I could teach it, because if I could bottle it up and sell it, I'd be a millionaire.

Nice. You could bottle up your gas, though, and sell that. People I've been doing that. One more. Hit the last one. Is the 401K conversation a bit? You guys were really driving me crazy. Like, you guys are smart.

Like, you guys have to understand. right like this is not a bit i mean i'm hoping it's a bit but can you please answer that because again you guys are tried with me absolutely crazy feet not a bit why would it be a bit well i get why be a bit be funny it's not a bit we can't commit this long to a bit no eddie and lunchbox don't have it even the company's offered it they don't even know what it is you've learned a little bit but it's not like amy and our experts either right yeah we try to ask you guys questions you don't know the answers but we admit we don't know some of the answers and i even feel like Eddie and I are stupid because the other day I was driving

in the car. Dislexic test about to happen. Oh, boy. I was driving the car dude and some company is like, we're hiring and we'll even match your 401k and I'm like, if they're using that as a like ploy to get people, it must be a big deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know how much they were going to, I didn't understand.

They're just like, so if you want matching 401k that's a bait, you know, they're looking for good fish. And I'm like, dang, man. And my problem is, you know, people talk about oh, I've had my 401k since I was, you know, 20 years old. I'm like, well, I'm 44. Like, that's too late now. You know the proverb, bro.

Start now. You know the proverb. When's the best time to plant a tree? 20 years ago. When's the second best time? Today. Yeah. Not worth it?

I don't know. All right. Well, you're going to keep not knowing and you're not going to have anything. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So Kellogg's is under fire after their CEO suggested that people eat cereal for dinner to cut costs. This is one of the dumbest protests I've seen on TikTok. Yeah. The guy, I don't even think it was like out of touch.

He just is a cereal CEO. So it's like, eat cereal all the time. Cut call. What's wrong with that? Well, there's been a rise in cereal costs, but there's also a rise in everything. But also, like, the boxes are staying the same size and then the price is going up,

but the amount of cereal inside is less and less and less. Which is all companies. I mean, have you had chips lately? Yeah, same thing with chips. There's like five chips in there. There's like organized protests and not buy Kellogg's for the month of April, I think. Is that what it is?

Yeah, and it is coming from... talk. Yeah, I'm doing three boxes. I'm countering people that are the opposite. I'm buying 10 boxes. I'm passing out on the street. The boycott they're calling for is actually for three months from April 1st to June 30th. I do just love cereal though. Maybe that's why I'm so offended. I love there are food groups that have smoothies, cereal, soup, and grab bag. Interesting. I love cereal for dinner. Grab bags, anything? Anything I want, yeah. And I saw this data was pulled from Amazon, on like the cereal that's been ordered the most the last several years and

Cheerios was the number one. What? I know. I was surprised at that too. Like regular Cheerios or Honey Nut Cheerios? It says Cheerios. Let's hope it's honey nut. Even Honeynut, I like Honey Nut are pretty good. They're pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's got to be just straight Cheerios though. But even if it's honey nut, I'm surprised

by that. Okay, what else? So stress is aging you. That's no secret. I feel like we all know that by now, but North Carolina State University did this whole study and they found that high stress can make young adults look and feel older. But it's on the days that we feel like our lives are totally out of control that we even look in the mirror and we're like, what is wrong with us? So there's just something that's being released and you need to take time to breathe, maybe go for a walk, maybe journal. You think you're talking to a mirror right now? I feel like anything to talk in a mirror to herself here. Yeah. Yeah. I had one of these days the other day where I just felt, I don't know why. I just felt like, out of the of control and exhausted and yeah I looked in the mirror but I think if I had taken

some time to pause and do some breath work maybe journal or spend five minutes outside in the sun for vitamin D or something I could have recovered I get stressed out thinking about all the things I should do if I'm stressed out if you're saying all that I know my wife bought me a journal so I could journal and I'm like I'm not doing that I need to lock on it like a diary

because I don't anybody read my journal I didn't really want a journal anyway but who would read it because it's America it leaked next thing you know I'm canceled what if he leaves this purse somewhere and somebody finds it Right. Boy, no, my diary's in my purse. But here's the thing. I don't want to, like, write with a pen on paper.

I have to go get it, chase it down, write. So I made a note in my notes app one someday to start journaling. So my note in my digital journal was to do my book journal. But I don't think I will. I'm just nothing interested in it. But there is something therapeutic, like pen to paper. There's something to the brain.

It's like Pony Express. No, I use them. I like FedEx. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, speaking of stress and just well-being and happiness, how's your happy light working out for you? It's on right now. I've never been happier. Has it made you mad or anything? It's not too bright.

Sometimes I get mad though if I don't turn it on. Oh. It's like I'm used to it. My body starts to go into a draw if I don't have it. You're addicted. I start sweating. But the shadows it puts on you is just weird. I like the shadow. I saw some video clips of it. I think it looks cool, man. It's like I'm in stranger things. Yeah. I always feel like the best visual

of stress and how it can age you is when you look at how a president looked at the start of their term. And then just four years later at the end of their time, term, they all look so much older. Unless you're talking about the last two presidents that were old in, old out, still freaking old, both of them. True, true.

Wild. The two oldest people in the history of the world run for president. It's wild, man. If a major company was like, we're going to hire a new CEO, he's 80. What? And America's based, it's a business, right? I mean, it has to be run like a business. And the two guys running, it's wild.

All right, go ahead. So this guy online, he didn't. even tag jelly roll in it, but it got back to him. He was just saying, sorry, but I cannot listen to music from a guy named Jelly Roll. Sorry, just can't do it. Well, Jelly posted about it, and he said, imagine

being the kind of human that won't listen to someone's music because of their name. Same kind of people that teach hate, division, and spread negativity. But that's all right. I was young, toxic, and didn't care about other people once in life as well. So, and then he did like praise hands emojis. I thought Jelly Roll's response was a little hard.

Because his name, because I would have to When we first started playing jelly roll, people would be like, what are you talking about? You're playing something named, it's normal to us now, but it wasn't when we first started to play his music. And listen would be like, huh? So that original commenter was an idiot for just writing that. But I do understand people are like, I'm not going to listen. Somebody named Jellyroll is like a name like that's going to make good music. I thought Jelly went back a little hard too.

But yeah, it's a weird name. And that's a weird comment. But even it's like Bobby Bones. Like I get it. It's just, people will be like, why am I listening to that guy sounds like a pirate? And I'd be like, hey, you must be racist. And that's not what Jelly Roll said, but I wouldn't go back that hard. I'd be like, I get it.

It's a stupid name. But once you get used to it, hopefully you like what I do. But that's it's it. I thought Jelly Roll went back hard. He's a good dude. But I feel like the last line, too, he admitted like, hey, yeah, I've acted that way too. But he evolved. Oh, which I also saw kind of on a related note.

My friend Egg McMuffin, I didn't even like him for a while. It took me it forever. How when, like Luke. Holmes was first in Nashville. He was told, yeah, yeah, yeah, just be a songwriter. You don't look the part. He, because he didn't look like what was happening right then, you know, chiseled, fake, almost male model looking artist.

And that shifts. But yeah, he didn't look like he would be someone that someone want to invest in as like a band. Like some bands, even though the guy that's a better singer, the front person, they'll take like a bass player and put them up front because they look better. It's just, it's not fair. but I would understand. Oh, I know that band.

Well, Fallout Boy is an example. Yeah. Except Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz actually started the band. Oh. And they went and found Patrick Stomp. But yes. But that does happen sometimes. I hear you. The world's just mean, man.

Let me listen to my jelly roll and Luke Combs and shut up. When Fall Out Boy played at I Heart Fest in Vegas last year, I was enamored with Pete Wins. Like, I've never... He didn't do much, though. I mean, he played... Exactly, but you can't take your eyes off of him. No, no. He didn't want to be there.

That's kind of his thing, I think. It's weird. It's like your... Yeah. look so bored, but yet you're also very interested. No, no, you. No, he has a good vibe about it. I don't know. Yeah, I hear you. It's interesting.

I never, I didn't. I didn't. I couldn't couldn't take your eyes off at him. I couldn't. And I'm not, I wasn't even a Fall Out Boy fan. But I, I know, but you. Obviously you're a fan of Pete Wins. He's a good looking guy. And now. He was in a, like a screamo band like Scuba Steve was is before Fallout Boy.

Because he does some of that hard rock still in Fallout Boy. That's like the back vocals. They're like, Rossiara. It's pretty crazy. That's all. That's all. I was like, I finally gave it Ashley Simpson's all. Okay, Amy, yeah, move on. Wow, Amy. Yeah, move on. All right, thank you.

I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. This guy Allen in Lorton, Virginia, was working for Grubhubh, a single dad. He was delivering lunch to a shelter, and basically he just goes to deliver lunch with no intention. and it's like that dog right there.

Like he's just, that's the dog. Didn't want a dog. Sees a dog. Like, that's a dog I have to have. So he has a daughter. And so he gets the daughter Sabrina. She's like, yeah, that's the dog. And just said, he saw it.

I guess it's like falling in love at first sight. Which I don't really believe love at first sight because I think love is a developed thing. How else do you explain though a guy just seeing a dog when he didn't want a dog and then going, I want a dog? I mean, I think there must be something, yeah, it was meant to be. Yeah, man. Like you just feel like a connection. It's meant to be either. That happened to me and my dog.

I know BB, Rexa says it. Yeah. It's meant to be, it'll be. But having you just felt like a strong connection to somebody when you first mean them, it doesn't have to be like, no, no, no, no, no. Like even like a guy, like a friend. Lust. No.

Like he said. I didn't stutter. You just hit it off. Lust. Okay. I hear you. And I just love the story. I wish, I guess maybe I block that.

I can say that. Maybe I block any, whatever that initial that people have. That's the fate. You're a fate blocker. Weird term? No, he tries to resist lust. No, no, no, we're off. We're off the lust. Oh, we're off of lust. All right. Okay. Well, regardless, Alan, shout out. Met his dog.

65 pound pit bull and the pit bull had been the shelter 240 days. And goes to deliver some grubh. Next thing you know, he's got a new friend. Man, I had that same thing happen to me. When I went to go to the pound and look for a dog and there was all these dogs jumping on the cage, jumping on the cage. And the pit bull that I adopted, he just laid there and slid his paw out from running the cage. like, man, are you making this up? That's meant to be. Are you making this up?

No, that's my dog Waldo. That's how I got him. Like, he was a calm one out of all the dog. And he slid his long. All right, Ray, that's it. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. We're going to do the morning corny a little early because she's a PhD from Southern Methodist University. She teaches children with dyslexia and test children for dyslexia. She's coming in in the next few minutes to give us the series of tests. It's not one simple test. It's a series of tests. We're going to do that

in a minute. But first, let's go over to Amy and get in the corny morning. You guys catch that? Yeah. The morning corny. Why are pigs bad drivers? Why? Because they hog the road. Good. Nice. That was the morning corny.

Are you nervous? Yes. Are you nervous, Eddie? Yes, man. Are you nervous? Lunchbox? I don't get nervous. I'm a test taker. Yeah, I'm nervous. Not because I feel the results will in any way indicate my intelligence, but I feel like if I lose to any of you, you will hold that over my head for the rest of my life. Because you're super smart. So some people say, some people don't.

But I will say that if I lose to you, especially a launch box, oh my God. If I lose the lunchbox in this thing, it's over. You'll never hear the end of it. I'll come in. I'll just be sitting here and be like, my desk now. I am the captain. And it's like, oh, God. You can have opinions.

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

to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-HeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here at the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid of to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is?

I don't know. You mean the like the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? The law crusade. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that snake. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual Polish name.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look?

like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here. We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. We're going to do some dyslexia testing. Her name is Kelly Cole. She has a bachelor's degree from Southern Methodist University, a doctorate of education, and she does this for a living. She created her own business. She works with kids, young adults, and adults, one, to determine if they're dyslexic, or there's a number version two.

And we're going to take the tests. And we're all going to be supportive of each other. Yeah, of course. Okay, you guys, that's not good acting. What we do, man. And she is here now. Her website is knowledgecharged.com. Let's go.

I'm a little nervous. Here she is. Shit. You guys excited for the dyslexic. Oh, yeah. I don't even understand what, that's just when you read things upside down, right? Sort of. We have an expert here. Let me give her credentials here. So she has a bachelor's degree from SMU. She has a doctorate of education from SMU. She has a, what's a CERI, Kelly? That is the international. Talking to your microphone there. International Dislexia Association certification. Got it. And so you have KC. tutoring in Fort Smith, Arkansas. And you were a teacher first? Yes. And then my son got cancer, so I left the profession.

and then he was having a lot of trouble. We couldn't figure out if it was medical or learning disability. And at nine, we diagnosed dyslexia. We drove twice a week, four and a half hours one way to get him therapy. And the doctor that was giving it was like, you have an education background. You have this. You could go back and do this. Oh, wow.

And so I went back. I learned from Susan Barton, Barton Method. which is Norton Gillingham based. And at 14, he started reading. And he's graduating from U of A in May. That's awesome. It's really cool. So she took what she was already doing and specialized.

And I bet you, when you specialized with your son, you found a lot of other people nearby that needed that as well. Yes. I have a waiting list and can't get everybody in. Wow. Eddie might be dyslexic. This is why we brought this up. You brought it to us.

We didn't start calling you dyslexia Eddie. Correct. No, I think I do. I don't really don't know. because I mix my words sometimes, so I'm assuming I probably have some sort of dyslexia. And I see a lot of discalcula just on things I hear. And I see a solid dude that came by his family. Thank you, man.

It's very loving. Is the discalcula, the numbers one? Yes. Oh, yeah. So here's what we're going to do. What do I call you, though? I know Kelly is your name because Kelly called us. I was like, hey, I think you can help.

So she's in town. What are you doing in town? Like a convention or something? No, my daughter married a boy from Franklin, Tennessee. Oh, marriage. Yes. No, just to hang out then. Yes. Oh, awesome. Do we call you Dr. Kelly? Do we call you? All my students call me Ms. Kelly. Okay. Perfect. And their parents, everybody. So we're going to do some tests here throughout the hour with Ms. Kelly. And what kind of tests? Can you just give me a brief description of what we're going to do before we do it? So the first one is going to be a reading evaluation. National average reading level is seventh grade. And so this test goes up to 12th grade and it will just tell me. me where your reading level is. That might be 12th grade.

So does. I'm starting it at fourth grade for you lunch. Oh, I mean, come on. See, Spot, go. That's like kindergarten, bro. Oh, it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So how does this first test work?

Do we read it? Do you give us something to read? I am going to give you a list of 30 words. Okay. And I switched everybody's lists up so you wouldn't hear some of the words that the other person reads. And I will be making notes. on how your pronunciation is, how do you pause before certain things. We're reading out loud?

Yes. Oh, this is a nightmare for some of them. My heart is sort of like, I'm very nervous. Hold on. Everybody pronounces words different, so to judge me on my pronunciation. But I don't think it's accent. She's not judging you. Oh, she is.

That's what a test is. It's phonetics or what? Phenemics. A test isn't really judging. You're in third grade. Okay, well then let's. I might be. So do you.

The ADHD runs very closely with dyslexia. So, great. Amy's sweating over there. Guys, I'm so nervous. I'm going to be like the smartest kid in the class. So do we have, do we do it out loud one at a time? Yes. Okay, so me, Amy, Lunchbox, and Eddie are going to take the test.

And who would you like to go first? It does not matter. Okay, then let's go to, Amy, do you want to go first? Eddie, you want to go first? I'll go first. Okay. Eddie, you'll go. You want me get his list for him?

Yeah. Morgan, can you help her? Oh, Lunchbox, you got it? Yep. Thank you for coming, Ms. Kelly. This is great. Which one's? It doesn't matter.

Oh, give everybody one. You just have to tell me the, and I have more if you want. Okay. She's passing out the yellow sheets. Eddie, there we go. Oh, yeah. So do we don't look at them yet? No.

Oh, don't look at them. Eddie, Eddie's studying. Oh, no, I'm not studying. Cheater. I'm not studying. Take one grade away. Dang, I'm back to third grade. Yeah, I'm back to third grade.

Yeah, I need an ink pen. Okay, I need an ink pen. Yes, yes, Malag. I'm sorry. Coming right at you. You got one, Mike? All right, Ms. Kelly's in studio. We're going to take the first part of a dyslexia test. This is her expertise. Okay, so whatever you need to do, go ahead, Ms. Kelly.

Whoever wants to start, just tell me the number that's on your paper. Ms. Kelly, I have number four. Okay. You can begin. I didn't stutter there. And start reading across. Across? And keep going.

Okay. I will not tell you if you're wrong. Thank you. Wither. Bling. awake bored approve

And it's nothing intellectual. I mean, you are still obviously super smart, no matter if you have dyslexia or not. Well, I don't know if I have it. I just know that it's like always. Like maybe it's just coming up for me because I don't know.

school was so hard for me and I never addressed it this is a plot twist well no it feels like back in the day you're like born when we were born there would be these after school specials

and somebody would be fighting something and at the end he would go like I can't read and it felt like Amy was going to say that like finally announced to it she couldn't read no I can read I don't know what is happening honestly maybe I'm just like

I was on Quizmonated. I know how to read. And I showed off my skills of getting this. I don't even know what in, like that incoit means. Right. We don't have to know the definition. I'll say in-coat. I'll be able to pronounce.

Got it. It's in-coat. Okay. Yeah, that's what I would, that's what I, but I didn't, I don't know what it means. I'm just being honest with you guys. Okay. So she's going to do, uh, do our scores? Does it take a second or do you already have them?

I have yours. And you don't have to hold back. If you're going to make me cry, make her cry. No, that's not, she didn't make me cry. I think this is a vulnerable thing for me of like something I've always thought and we're doing it in a very public way, which is fine. I don't mind doing that. I just can't help the real, like, reaction and emotion that's coming up. Because of it, I'm sure I'm not the only person to react this way. No, you are. Right? Right, Ms. Kelly?

You're the only person that cut onions while doing it. So some of my moms volunteered for me to practice on them before I came up. And I had a mom in tears. Her little boy sees me for dyslexia. And I tested her. And she's like, I knew that was where it came from. And that was right before I came up. She was.

Okay. Okay. Do you need a break to do the scores? Are you good? I'm good. Okay. Who do you want to do first? You read on a 12th grade level.

Of course. Boom. What do you know? Shocker. You're a senior, dude. Why are you making fun of the audio? That's great. That's great.

Hey, Mr. Smarty fans. School is easy for you. Why do I feel picked on right now? You shouldn't. You should. Was it Librarious? Feel awesome. Okay, go ahead.

I wish I was. Thank you, Ms. Kelly. Go ahead. Next up. Number two, which was Amy. Oh, I had number two. You had number two. You had number two.

Go ahead, 12. 8.2. Eighth grade. So above average, seventh grade is national average. I didn't feel like that far off. You're still in middle school. Hold on, hold on. You're in eighth grade, ah.

Now, 8.2 would be out of middle school, just barely in high school. No. Yeah, it's like summer. You're in the summer between middle and high. Yeah, that's right. But my question is, hold on. What did I mess up? Let Ms. Kelly talk.

Stop yelling at her. Go ahead, Ms. Kelly. Well, I have several marks on the way you pronounced things, not using phonemic code. But what grade is he officially in? Eighth grade. Eight. Eight. Two, second month of eighth grade. There you go, buddy.

Puberty's right around the corner. I don't know that I missed one word besides. Stop. Stop. Okay. Who had number three? I did. Okay.

It's okay. I'm prepared. That's rude, dude. You're good, Amy. You're good. It's 7.8. Oh, wow. That's actually right there with lunchbox.

Not even close. She's in a different grade. Year behind. Yeah. Four months. Hey. Yeah. Four months is a lot when you're that old.

But you laughed hard. You thought she did way worse than you. I don't think you understand how bad. Got it. Got it. So, Amy, 7th grade, lunchbox, 8th grade. And then finally, Eddie.

I'm ready, Miss Kelly. 9.5. Whoa, I'm in high school, baby. Let's go. I guess I should have slowed down and been not myself. No, you were all cocky. I mean, Eddie,

lift. Oh, way. I mean, he doesn't speak like that. First test, complete. I still don't know what I did wrong. There were words. You were being you, dude. Okay.

Congratulations, everybody. Congratulations to you. We have no elementary students here. Your national average or above. Nice job. It's pretty good. National average. To say I read on eighth grade level is atrocious.

Oh, nice word, bro. It's on my list. You get a bonus point. You get a bonus month for that one. 8.3! Okay, we're going to take a break. We're going to come back and we're going to do us. Oh, no.

What is this? Oh, no. I just saw what the next. I don't know what the quiz is, but it says spelling. Is that next? Yes. There ain't no way. I'm terrible.

Count me out. I'll sit that one out. I'm going to come back. We will do spelling next. Miss Kelly is here, which, by the way, go to knowledge charge.com. I can't say charged. We're all shaking a little bit. Knowledge charge.com. Back with Ms. Kelly in second.

All right, Ms. Kelly's in studio. A bachelor's degree from SMU. A doctorate of education from SMU. She has her CERI. Is that a seri? CERI. CERI. Okay.

Me, 12th graders. We try to just make it. Seniors. So we're going to go with the second part of the dyslexia test, which is spelling. Oh, no. This is not good. I can give you a sentence if you need the word used in a sentence. Hey, can you give me a root of origin?

It starts very easily and gets harder and harder. So how do we do this? Do we all have the same word? You all have the same words. So, Eddie, guard your paper. You got it. Oh, yeah, because he cheats. I used to try to cheat, but not anymore.

Okay. Are we ready? All right, Ms. Kelly, we're ready. Your first word is all. I want all of you to do your best. All. Okay, I'm in. End for the win. Led, he led the way. So do we finish this and then you grade them? Yes. Got it.

Number three is within. You will finish within the time. Mostly when I text, I just write like two letters and it predicts. Man, I am so fast. I know. All mine are like predictive. I write WIT and just hope it finishes it. Correct. Provide. How many of these are there, Ms. Kelly?

20 words. All right. Number five is suffer. Do you guys feel pretty good about the first five? Yes. No, I need to go back to number two. No, there's no going back, she said. Sorry, bud.

What? She doesn't say anything. I'm just saying that. You got to keep moving forward. Oh, keep moving. It's like life, buddy. Number six, elect. We will elect a new office.

Elect. Number seven, request. And half of it, I hope she won't be able to read by writing, so she has to give it to me correct. That's probably how it works, yeah. Now I tell my students. If I can't read it, it's wrong. There you go.

I've been writing it in Mandarin, so I hope it's okay. I know that. Mr. 12th grader over there. I just wait. I'm about to lose a couple years right now. Employ. Dad's boss wanted to employ my brother. There's one word you better not put on this list.

I know. Why are you threatening her? Why do you keep talking? This is what I do during a test. That's true. Number nine, entertain. Number 10, foreign. He is from a foreign country. Yeah, we're getting, we're getting difficult now.

11. Convenient. Is that like a store? The hours are not convenient. Miss that one. Number 12, familiar. 13. Accommodate. I mean, say the word again. Accommodate.

We will accommodate her with a new room. Accommodate. Oh, let me fix that. Number 14. Parliament. I got that one. I was hoping it was parlay. Number 15, acquaintance. Amy, you're awful quiet.

Because I don't feel I need to talk after every single one, she says. This is him in high school. You know it was. Number 16, physician. Will you say that? What is it in? Physician. Got it. Number 17, appropriate. It's getting tough.

Yeah. 18, occurrence. All the scribbles. Damn. Yeah, I think I got that. 19. Zellis. The fan was over zealous.

Yeah, I got that one right. Boom! Do you get more points for getting the hard ones right? You get more points for going to boom louder. That's what I'm talking right. Yeah, you got it, buddy. Zealous, I just got like 10 points. And your last word is millennium.

Millennium. Okay, I missed that one. I'm just glad. Embarrassed is not on there. That's one word I cannot spell. Well, you shut up. Yeah, be quiet, man. Oh, dang, dude.

It's so annoying. Gosh. Will you say that one again? Millennium. Silver came into use in the third millennium. Okay. I definitely did not. I think I missed one.

You want to write my name with? If you only missed one, that's awesome. I'm kidding, man. Yes, write your name so I know whose paper is who. I can count about five. I feel terrible about. Get off my paper. Yeah, turn it in.

Stop looking at Eddie's. Stop looking at Eddie's. You're not great about. Paper, you idiot. Whoa. Did you hand him yours? Yes, he's looking at both of them. It's on the back.

I can't see. Yeah, we're up to no good. Give her the paper. What are you talking about? Pass it over to Amy. I literally can't see Eddie. I pick mine up. And then what we'll do is we'll play a song

and then we'll come back and we'll get grades from Ms. Kelly. Just take a few minutes to grade them. Okay? Yeah. So what's that, what's the A on this or 12th grade or how the, is it 15, 16 out of 20, 20 out of 20? 20 out of 20. Oh, nobody's going to be a senior here.

No, 20 out of 20 is a senior? Yeah. Okay, we'll come back in one second. We'll give Ms. Kelly a few minutes to grade. We are doing a dyslexia test. If you missed the first part of the test, including a very emotional moment from Amy. Vulnerable.

Very. You can go to listen on the podcast. She's still not talking. She isn't. I just keep getting more and more nervous. Is that how you would do a test too, get nervous on test? Like when it was SAT, ACT, would you get nervous going into it?

Oh, yeah. I hated them. Yeah. Like, I have a lump in my throat. It's fine. Ms. Kelly is administering a dyslexia test to us. She got her doctorate of education at SMU. And the first test we did was pronunciation of words, some words.

We didn't even know what they meant. The second test was spelling, which I felt terrible about. How did you guys feel? Did you feel like that was harder or easier than the first test? A little easier. Eddie goes easier, Amy goes same. Oh, harder. I'm not good at spelling.

I don't really spell things. I'm a reader, though. And I don't understand. But whatever. I never claimed to be a speller either in school. None of us have really ever been. I never made the spelling be whatever crap that was. You never made it?

You didn't get to play the first round? No, they were like, oh, who wants to be in that? I don't want to. Is it because you weren't good? Because I would do that too. Like, who wants? And I'd be like, no, I don't want to. But really, I knew I just wasn't like going to make it.

Well, I knew I'd had to study. Not for you. Yeah, that's not my jam. We did our first test and Amy was late seventh grade, lunchbox was early eighth grade. Eddie was ninth grade. Eddie was ninth grade. High school.

Poser Eddie, yes, was. It's just me, dude. What do you mean, Poser? He doesn't read like that. No, he was using, he was pronouncing it. I was trying to be clear with my words. I was 12th grade, very happy about that. You're a senior.

But this is about to not go good for me here. Okay, Miss Kelly, we're coming back over to you. You've graded the spelling exams, and how do you want to give the results? Well, you did get the best score. Okay. At 11th grade. Oh, look at you. How many did they get out of 20?

That's not bad. You got 16 out of 20. I thought I missed 4 or 5. Wow. I'm in 11th grade. What was the easiest one he means? missed. You're still up there. L-A-D? No, lead, L-E-D.

The way. L-A-D. I was thinking lead like an axle. I got that one. I did L-E-A-D too, man. We're the same. We're like saying Wailing, bro. I'm an idiot. Okay, thank you. Me and Bobby. Next up. We'll see if we're the same. Hold on. All right, and I'm an 11th grader here. Go ahead.

Eddie, you're in 8th grade. Hey! Oh, I went back down, though. I was a freshman. Ninth than eighth. Well, this is harder. Well, he was senior and went to junior. Yeah. Okay. Amy? 9th grade. Whoa.

Hey, you went up. Great job. Wow. No tears this time. I did get LED. Good for you. And lunchbox, ninth grade.

Boom! What up last place? What up last place? No, no, no. I'm still. We'll average out everybody scores and see what they're doing. Is he in last place on the spelling? It's not a place game.

It's not a play. He just said he got easier and he dropped, guys. Let's make fun of him. Why make fun of me? Guys, come on. Why make fun of my condition? Okay, so Eddie. We don't make fun of dyslexies.

a lunchbox. Yes, lunchbox. I'm not making fun of it. I'm making fun of him. So, Eddie, what were your two grades so far? Ninth grade and seventh grade. Okay, lunchbox's yours? Eighth and ninth.

And Amy? Boom. Seventh and ninth. Okay, cool. We got one more test to go. And by the way, I can tell how you all were in school, which is wild. Because your inner child is coming out where lunchbox just won't shut up during a test. Class class.

And like, needs the attention to divert from the fact that he's not getting his stuff done. It doesn't know it. No, but that's what you've been. No, you've been doing. You're like, oh, no, no. Joke, joke. Hey, I hear you. I got the second place in the spelling being,

I was diverting. I was still... But second place was still 9th grade. That's still solid. I hear you. But Amy, I can see her. She's just so nervous about it all. Nervous about when she's taking it,

before she takes it after it's over. And Eddie just like doesn't want to be made fun of. He's just trying to quietly get through it and not be made fun of. And I would imagine this is how all of you guys were when you were kids. Pretty much. Which is pretty crazy to see. What were you doing? Just writing crap down.

That was easy. Trying to get it over. No, wasn't going on the disease. That one I was hated myself. I was like, I'm an idiot. Okay, we have one test left, and we're going to do it in just a second. What's our next test? This is your processing of letters.

Okay. So it is going to be a bunch of letters. Some of them are backwards, 30 of them. Okay. We'll come back. We'll do our final test. Whoa. So we got to yell backwards when we see it?

You jump forward or backward. You turn around. You're going to circle the backwards letters. You have 90 seconds. Let's break. We'll come right back. And we'll take this test next. All right, last part of the test.

So explain Ms. Kelly. We're going to look at these pages and some of the letters are forward, some are backward. Yes, this is testing your auditory processing. We don't look at the page when you give it to us, right? Okay. Thank you.

Mike D. is administering. How many letters are on this page? You're asking too many questions. No, no, I'm just saying because if I have 90 seconds, I just want to know. There's 30 wrong. So we're going to have 90 seconds. Ray, are you ready to start the timer?

Amy, don't look. Amy, don't look. What are you doing? I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. No, I didn't look, and I didn't see anything. So are we going to flip this paper around and know exactly what to do here? There is a grid with letters in it.

You circle the ones that are backwards. We have 90 seconds. When she says start, we'll start. Go. Okay. Whatever you're doing is wrong. No, I did that a couple times. Okay, so I'm done.

Do I give it to you or can I keep going? Okay. It's done. Are you crying again? No. I'm just sniffling. We don't know. We're just sniffling.

We care for you. I'll second done Can I can I When I accidentally circled one do I say it? No I messed up Put an X over it Okay Time Ray Now

Time Pins down everybody Pins down Eddie Pin down everybody turn them in Oh name Don't Mike make sure they don't do letters I'm not I don't know why I was in the beginning I was looking for

Words complete words that were You're doing words Crossword puzzle I was. I was searching for words and I was like, I don't see any words. But is that like because you weren't listening? I don't know. No, I'm not saying that a bad way. Like you were so tight and nervous that maybe you didn't even hear what she was.

Yeah, and then I went back and I read the instructions on the top. Did you do that sometimes in school where the teacher would explain it and then you'd start taking a test and realize you weren't doing the test right? I do that. I did that too. Okay, right. We're going to break. We'll come back, get the final result of this and find out. And then Eddie, I think she has one other test for you.

Oh, the number one. Possibly. Yeah. Yeah. We'll come back next here. We'll see who the most dyslexic is on the show. This is a weird one. Miss Kelly is here. She owns her own business. It's KC. tutoring. She started it seven years ago. She has a bachelor's and a doctorate of education from SMU. And we've been taking spelling, reading. And this one was dyslexia screening because some of the letters were reversed, right? And so we've been doing all-hour taking basically a dyslexia test. Ms. Kelly, I don't know what to do here because you have the pages.

Do you want to give us any results here? So it's not really a pass or fail. It's a needs intervention or not or further testing. Did anybody need intervention? Two. Amy and Eddie. Hey, dude, you got to chill out. You don't know that.

You don't know that. It's 100 for seconds. I know I nailed it. Like, I was done second. You were done first and we were at the top of the class. These guys are like, hey, they need extra test time. Great, man. Cool.

I hope that makes you feel better. Okay, here we go. Lunchbox did miss a few, but he did pass. Boom. Oh, there's no great. There's no intervention. Boom. You need no intervention.

What did I tell you? Did I forget to circle a couple or what? Yes. That's all right. I was going on speed. Bobby's was perfect. Of course. No errors.

That's so great. What's it like? Seriously. Hey, so Bobby, who are the two that need intervention? Was I right? You have to let them. Or they need further testing? You're not letting them be themselves and letting them be

vulnerable here because yes it's it's great to find out what it is that's the benefit like you now know well we're about to find out it's weird that it's funny to him like why's that funny he's always been made fun of it as no because you guys were making fun of me when i was only an eighth grade at the first test and guess what i just passed you full hold on everybody relax okay miss kelly go ahead okay so it does show that amy has signs of dyslexia and it's not that she is not super intelligent and she's actually more intelligent than someone without dyslexia because she has learned to compensate and do very well with having an actual deficit. Yeah, especially people over there that are laughing.

And also, it's like if you take your car in and it, like something, it's just wrong. And they go, no, there's nothing wrong with it. You're like, well, crap, that sucks. You kind of want to know what's wrong. So that way, if it keeps acting up, you can fix it. So, hey, congratulations. You have dyslexia. Yeah.

There you go. I never really wanted to know, I guess. I mean, do you know what I mean? No, I mean, I want to know now, but I think there was always. Imagine the world opening up to you now. I think that's the emotion that came out early on was like there was always a fear there. And. Well, there's things that I can give you, things that you can use that you will see a difference.

Which is awesome. Okay. And Eddie? He needs intervention or further testing. Like, you miss a lot. So is mine intervention of further testing or is it like, okay, so we're the, yeah. Yours is light intervention. Eddie has get the TV show out here.

No, she didn't say that. She said he missed a lot, though. Who missed them most? Amy. But I believe it was because she didn't understand the instructions. Oh, for sure. She was looking for words in it for a while. That's why I said you have to circle.

She's finding words he, him. Okay, so, and how severe? I don't even know how to ask the question in a proper way. How quickly do they need intervention? If they were a child, would you say you need to start right now? Yes. But the younger you start, the better. Public schools don't test until fourth grade.

That's when I get a lot of my students. And by that time, they're three and four years behind. I currently have several high schoolers that I'm literally teaching the different letters to. So here is the deal here. Eddie, you are an eighth grader that needs intervention. Lunchbox, you're an eighth grader. You need an intervention for something different. For your heart.

Amy, you're an eighth grader who needs intervention. Bones, you've graduated. You're in college? I'm okay. I want to keep me out of this. But I'd be farther along than Eddie because I obviously. Well, it's not a comparison. But I just did.

He just compared us. No, he's just telling us where we stand. Well, actually, Eddie has learned to compensate on the same level, even though he has dyslexia as lunchbox who does not. Right, which is a big statement. Which is a big statement towards Eddie. Like there's really great people who've had dyslexia who've had to learn other skills. Like they've had to develop personal skills.

They've had to develop ways. And that is what allowed them to succeed was their hyper development of other things. So Eddie and Amy both have a bit of that. And basically she's saying like if I didn't have legs and lunchbox did, we finished the race at the same time. That's awesome. That's awesome. It was a really lunchbox finish last. But we're not comparing, but I like the way we try to sugarcoat it and be like, oh, but they've overcome.

So we try to make them feel better. And that's good. I like the way you guys do. That's a good way. That's a good tactic, doctor. But if they have dyslexia and they're still the same as you, that is them overcoming a bit. You don't have dyslexia and you're the same as them. But I did better than them on two of the tests, so I'm better than them.

I did better than Amy on two of the three tests. Two and three tests I did better than Eddie. So they really aren't on my level. Eddie. It's fine, lunch, folks. If you want to be. Eddie was ninth and the first one, you were eighth. So I got you on that level.

The second one, I was in ninth and he was in seventh. Right. And I beat him, he needed intervention. I didn't. So I beat him two out of three. So that means he's not on my level. The intervention test isn't a score test. It's a yes or no.

Right. Pass fail. He failed. I passed. I thought I got all the last test right. You did? Yeah, I thought I circled the exact ones I needed. They were 30?

They were 30. Oh, there was 30? Oh, I didn't count 30. I didn't count. I just circled what I thought was wrong. See, this is where the ADHD comes in. Never heard that part. Ms. Kelly, thank you.

Obviously, we had to be... So how do we test further? It's too late, though, right, Ms. Kelly? Like, we're adults. I'm 44 years old. Is there things that they can do? Are there things? I recently had a 28-year-old single mom come to me,

and she was on a kindergarten level, and within six months, we were on a third grade, so making progress. What can they do? Like I turn 43 next week or something. Yeah. Hard time's coming gone, right? Or 34.

No, like on the math part, I have lots of tips to give you, Eddie, that I think. We haven't even done that yet. Calculator. Are we going to because it's going to be horrible. For who? We should all do the math and we'll just put it on the podcast. But please, lunchbox can't make fun of me on the math one. Well, he can get in it too.

We mean I can't make fun of you. Don't make fun of me. Why would we do it? everybody and everything. That's part of who he is though. And I'll do the thing where I'm like, Lunchbox stop and I'm secret laughing inside. I know. You can't take it personally, Eddie. But the math one to me is like Amy, like, I might

cry on the math one. That's okay. We'll laugh, but I'll be like, lunchbox stop being mean, but secretly inside, I'll be like, that's funny because Eddie wanted this to happen. But we all love each other. Yeah, like, my kids ask me for help with their math homework and I'm like, I don't know. Like, I'm Googling, like, I'm like, Chad GPT. I help my kids one time with their homework, they got an F.

One time with their math homework. Well, it was probably process, not answered. Yeah. Okay. I'm proud of you guys. Thank you. Good job. Thanks, man.

Yes. Lunchbox, good job. Hey, no problem, man. I'll see you in high school, man. We're chill. Well, right now. These guys. Ms. Kelly, thank you very much.

You guys go to knowledge charge.com. Thank you, Ms. Kelly. Nice job. All right. Miss Kelly's here. We're going to do the math part of the dyslexia test. Are they the same? Is there a discalcula?

Discalculia is different. Okay, this calculus is different. You have your microphone over there, Ms. Kelly? No, you're good. Okay, so I don't look at anything. Can I look at something or no? You can go ahead and look at it. Wait, all of us have a packet.

I don't have anything. Oh, it's not just one page. That's why it took so long. Oh, it's a pocket. Got it. Okay, so. Oh, my gosh, there's a lot. We're not going to do every problem lunchbox.

We're going to skip through. I'm not worried about it. You just yelled, oh, my God, there's a lot. And then you said, I'm not going to worry about it. Should we look at it? He's looking at it. I'm just looking at how many pages. I'm like, dang.

It's like a SAT. Did you say math was your jam? Yeah. Really? I don't know. Oh, he says. I did better than that in geometry. Geometry was terrible.

Shapes are not my thing. Whose thing is shapes? I'd like to know. I like shapes. Architect? Good point. Stop sign makers? Yes.

Will you define what does Calcula is? It is. Now I'm going to get yelled at it. I don't do it say it exactly right. Y'all put me on your Facebook page and two people yelled at me on things I said. Only two? Oh, God. That's a win.

Yeah, that's a huge win. Basically, it is the way your pathways work in your brain for math calculations. You don't understand basic math concepts. Okay. Yeah. That's just calcula. Sounds about right. Okay, we have a packet in front of us.

So what do we do? We're ready. So the first page is you have 30 seconds to math. the numbers. Across the aisle? Well, to whatever they match. Oh, cool. Oh, not across the aisle. Well, they're not going to be straight across. Don't look, guys. Keep your heads up. I got it. Okay, 30 seconds, that's all. So what do we write beside it? Like one, one, two, two.

No, you're just going to draw a line. Okay, ready? 30 seconds, go. I'm done. I'm done. Four, three, two, one. Done. Time? Didn't finish. What does that look like to you, Eddie? I mean, part of it's like I can't really see the numbers because they're blurry. Yeah, I'm old.

So, like, I probably got six of them. Well, let's pass it over. I didn't put my name online. They're blurry? Just me, my sight, yeah. Site or number? Is it a number? No, sight.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, sight. Poor guy, man, he didn't finish. Did you finish? Yeah, dude, I was the second one in. I'm not racing you guys. I'm not going to pass mine over until the very, very end because I don't want to get in a race contest

the lunchbox. That too because it started with like three numbers and there were two that started had three numbers. So you had to kind of finish the whole number and I don't want to rush that. Oh, I never finished a single number. I looked at the front and the back. Oh, then you got some wrong. She'll let us know. I definitely did not finish the number. But I read like that. I read like the first three letters just assumed that door to move on. All right ready for the next one. What are we do now? I'm not looking at it yet. We're going to go to this page. Okay. Let's see. Uh-huh. So circles. Yep. On the honeycombs. On the honeycombs. Wait, hold on, hold on.

Right here, Blake. I understand. Oh, this one. Six and nine. Oh, that's not certain. Okay, I got you. Got it. So, we're going to do question number five.

Draw the next two rows in the pattern. Okay. This is really important. I want to see what y'all think of that. 30 seconds? Is the same kind of deal? Well, it's just quickly, yes. All right, Ray, give us 30 seconds.

Well, let's be real. Keep drawing below it. No, the next. I can't tell you. I can only say draw the next. to rows. There you go. I'm terrible at shapes.

Let's walk your shape guy. No, this is terrible. I can't draw. When do we start? Are we doing it now? Yeah, go now. Does the shape have to be right? Or just how the row goes?

Okay. Done. Yeah, my shapes are bad, but I did the... You're still working over there, dude? I don't know how to draw the shape. Oh, no. Okay. So, Bobby's would be wrong because he didn't do a row.

He did a column. I did the same thing. What the crap? A row is cross. I did a cross. I did a row. I did a cross. You did the bottom.

You did the bottom? No, I did the side. I know I kept going like reading a book. Ah, yeah, no, man. I did the bottom row. I'm an idiot. Get us out of here. I started to do that and I was like, no.

Somebody intervene on me. Oh, I didn't know the difference in a column. I was like, that's what the perfect. That's where I messed up. Lunchbox did a triangle over on its own. So hold on. So Lunchbox and I missed? Yeah, we did the same thing.

and then you guys did it right? Yeah. Good job, guys. But is that some weird backwards way of the dyslexic ones? Yes. Oh, wait, I thought ours was wrong. What? It is wrong, but that was, I was trying to see who would naturally do a row or a column.

I think if you asked me again, I'll do the same thing. I don't know the difference. Well, because you were like, we can't ask questions. It's like, well, crap. Row column. So I failed. Oh, wait. You just see math differently than those two.

So how they saw it is how it is more helpful to see things. Okay, wonderful. We are so smart. No, no, no, no, we won that one. That's a win for us. Bobby. We won in that it is another indicator to her. You won because you get a medal for dyslexia.

Right. You won your dyslexia. Hey. I literally was like, I did it. All these years, we've been the same intelligent-wise. This is great. Okay, go ahead. Let's do the next one.

Oh, my gosh. This is great. Oh, no. Yes. The one with it. Okay. Yes. With the addition?

Yes. Got it. And you're going to have 10 seconds. to do the bottom problem. Oh, just the bottom. Just the bottom problem. Don't look at it, guys. Ready? I can't do that.

Ready? Ready? Go. That's it? I got one number. I only got three numbers. I got one number. I don't even know it's right. That's what I just said to.

Don't write lunchbox. Don't write anything down. I'm writing my name. No, he changed it up. You're such a cheater. He's been in the name. No, he was going to see if you're watching him. Okay, so I have 3.20s.

These guys are such idiots. And that is a tough one. That's a tough test. I was almost done. Yeah. How did I do with 326? Good. What does that score give me?

Well, it kind of combines into everything else we do. What did you put? I put 7 and 6. I put 7 as the very far number because I just tried to guess what it was going to be and then I went and added the first column. Did he get any of that right? That's not weird. He missed it all?

No, I got 6. I got 6. I put 7 trying to guess. I was trying to just, I thought I was going to be able to guess it by just looking at it. And then I was like, no, I need to just go to this column. Pretty poor, huh? Interesting. Do we pass them to you or do we just tell you what we got?

You just tell me. Eddie, what did you get? I got a six for the last number, but I was working on that second. Okay, Amy? Yeah, I only have the last number, and I got six. Okay, and now I'm going to verbally ask some questions. Go ahead. Oh, boy.

Eddie, can you count by four starting at 12? Can you ask that again? Count by four starting at 12. Okay, so we're going up, 12, 16, no, 18, 22, 26. Okay. Lunchbox. Yeah, what are when I want to start? Count by threes.

Start and where? At 12. 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42. You're so hot when you do that. Yeah. 25. Wow, dude. Turn on right now.

Yeah. Go ahead. Okay. Amy by sixes, counting, starting at 12. 18, 24, 30, 36. Yeah, you're good. 42. Good job.

Okay. Nice. Bobby, by 1,223. I was going to say by eight. Okay. From what? From 16. Okay.

24, 32, 40, 48. Okay. Wow. She just stopped you. She let me go for like a minute. No, Eddie. She wanted to get some humor out of it. All right.

I don't think that's what she was doing. Okay. And we have another one? Yes. Okay. Okay. The ones with the sixes and nines at the bottom. Oh, bones.

Can you do this? Hey. Nice. Oh, right here. Got it, got it, got it. Okay, okay. Okay, you have 10 seconds to circle all the sixes. Okay, ready and go.

Oh, man. Done. You're done. I may have got them all. That's close. It's close, but no. Oh, I missed two. Did I get them all?

You got them all. I missed three. Hey, Amy, you can't circle anymore. I'm not. I'm counting how many I didn't get. Dang. I didn't get three. I think I didn't get, I didn't get, oh, my name, too.

I got them. I did get them all. You got them all? 10 seconds goes by quick. It does. And my pen wasn't clicked. It's all, yeah, it's a click or an eye or something. Okay, one more.

Okay. Now this one, I am going to say a series of numbers to Eddie, and he's going to repeat them back to me. Okay. And we're not going to laugh. You're not going to laugh. He's going to be quiet. 974-562. 9-7-4-652.

Very good. Amy. 638-281. 638-281. Okay, very good. Okay, lunchbox. Oh, you're doing me now? What are we doing?

852-9-7-4-1. 852-9-7-4-1. Good. Good job. Okay, Bobby. Whiz. 638-28-98-98-98-98. 6-8-98.

Okay. Very good. Everybody passed that part. Wow. Okay. I never do that. Is there a grand finale? No.

me adding the scores out. Oh, okay, good. Add the scores up here. Come on, baby. No intervention. I don't think you can get out of the first intervention. Yeah, I think you're still in there. You may be up for a double. Does she need this one? Like one of those thick Oreos, double stuff?

No, she said we just talked that out. Okay, all right. What time is it after two and a half hours? Huh? Ask me the question. Why she's doing the math? There's a clock. Yeah. Where's the clock on? Oh, you have to look at the clock?

The clock is at 11. Oh, it's like looking at numbers. Yeah. So two and a half hours after that? Yeah, 110. Oh, 2.10? I don't know. Which clock is it?

Oh, here. 12.1. Yeah, that clock. 1140. What is that for two and a half hours? No. Got it. I go.

This is how I go. 2.10. Yeah. I would go. Okay, it's 1140, 1.40, plus 30, 210. Got it. That's where I say, ask your mom. We all fell asleep, but yeah.

I don't know, man. Ask your mom. What time zone is what I'd say. I challenge it just to make everybody feel confused. Okay. Oh, you have it? So, again, this is not a grade level. Right, we're not grade level.

We're just going to talk about Eddie and Amy need help. Eddie and Amy do need intervention. We knew that. Discalcula? Yes. Bobby, what I do? You're not the same as me. We, hey, did me and Bobby pass?

But who, but. Bobby didn't miss any, though. But did we pass? But did lunchbox miss any? Yes, he missed three. Okay, there you go. Three. That's cool. Go back to ninth grade.

And I'll be up here. Hey, but you know what? What? So now what? You got to go to summer school. That's not funny. We're going on summer break. I mean, that's what I did anyway.

Hey, Eddie, you want to play some baseball? No, man, I got to go to summer school, man. That's not funny. That was my life. Like, really, I went to summer school every year. What should they do? So the best way for you both to learn, you're both probably kinesthetic learners. which is you use multisensory.

That is what's going to get it into your brain pathways more. Like you like music. Love music. You could have multiplication facts on songs. Six, 12, 18. There's a thing called Times Tales. It's a book and it's all rhymes for all of your times tables. To me, that would be a more confusing way.

but my son and other discalculate, they can remember those rhymes before they can remember. If you ask my son what's eight times four, he made an A in college algebra, but he's going to tell you 16 and 16 is 32. That's how he's going to get his answer. Wow, that's a whole different, like drive down the road to get to the same place.

Yes. Oh, I would have never thought about it like that. Yeah, that's what I would do. That is? Well, thank you so much for spending your time with us. I think we had a blast, man. It was good for us, but I think good for a lot of our listeners to know that this is available, this kind of service is available, and you're not dumb. I think a lot of times people just feel like they're dumb because they don't interpret things the right way.

Right. It is not a base of intelligence at all. Whenever those letters were flipped in an earlier test, again, nothing I worked for, but they all would like scream, I'm the wrong way, but I didn't do anything to deserve that. My brain just works differently than other people's in that area. It's not dumb or smart, just like other people. can do, like have personal skills I don't have. Yeah, I got a question. It may be a dumb question. But is there any way we could like do Billy Madison and send them back to school? Well, you have to go back to like ninth grade.

No, whatever. I'm way ahead of them. But you still go back. Honestly, it would be interesting. I've thought multiple times that going back to school would probably be more fun for me now. He doesn't mean college. He means like middle school. Yeah, like going back to you.

Yeah, me, I'm talking like. High school, whatever. Just. No, not in that way. They won't let you in there. Like now that I have certain tools, because even ADHD, I didn't have any intervention at all, and now I have some of that.

Color overlays would be great for you. Okay. Eddie got awful quiet once we did the moment. Kelly, thank you. Ms. Kelly, thank you very much. You guys, Ms. Kelly. Thank you, Ms. Kelly. And I'm sure we'll hear about this for like five years.

All right, thank you guys. All right, here we are. Let's do the new. Bobby's Big. Stories. This Nebraska woman's charge was using a very sneaky trick to pump 7,400

gallons of free gasoline worth $28,000 over a six-month period she found out there was a glitch that allowed her to swipe her rewards card twice switching the pump from regular mode to demo mode once it was switched

so it's an accident I'm assuming that first time she did the car twice. We've all done that oh did I put the card it? I don't know let me do it again but then she noticed it didn't charge her. So she kept going back. Okay, so she can go back with other people's cars too and then charging them and taking their money?

Because how does she use that much gas in six months? Between November 13th, 2022 and June 1st, 2023, Thompson's reward card was allegedly used 510 times, including multiple swipes on the same day. Yeah. Okay. She called her friends up. Yeah, she's like, hey, I'll get you gas for like, you just paid me 25. I don't know that she was trading money. Why wouldn't she that many times?

No, I hear you. You're making a buck here. I'm saying she could have just been giving it to her friends. I don't know. It's estimated that over 7,000 gallons of gasoline were pumped. Investigators also talked to a second person. So here you go. Who allegedly used the card last year.

Look like she was passing the card around. It's a good little scheme. 10-11 now. If you found out, let's be absolutely honest here, if you found out that card did that, and then you were getting free gas on demo mode, What would you do? Lunchbox.

I would sell it to neighbors, to friends. Hey, you know your gas usually costs you about $65. You can get a full tank for 20. The problem with selling it to other people is that somebody talks eventually. The more people you get involved in something, the quicker it goes down, because people can't keep their mouth shut. But you would still take the free gas. I would be a wimp and know that I was eventually going to get caught and arrested and I would run in until immediately. Immediately.

That's the original problem. Not because I'm a good person, but because I know that I would get caught eventually. But also, yeah, but you don't want to steal. I don't want to steal, but I'm not saying I would do it because I'm a good person. I'm being honest. I know that I would be caught. Okay. I don't know.

I don't know. If I know it wouldn't be caught, who I'd be killing. I don't know. Oh, man. Killing? I don't know. All I'm saying is I don't know. Also, is it considered stealing if you're using your rewards card and you think,

oh, I must have hit a milestone and they give you free gas? Not. It's like getting money in your check that's $10 million. instead of $10. $32. You know better. There's like a you know better law. Got it.

Where you know better, you weren't getting paid $10 million. But if you're just getting gas for yourself and you could just keep doing it over and over and over. You can literally tell them like, I didn't know. Again, that's what I just said. You know better. You do.

Yeah, you do know. But you don't. But you do. There's a difference. Let's say you do it three times. Okay. Let's say you do it 500, 10 times over $28,000. No, you're going to have to.

to pay that back or go to jail. Because gas is expensive, man. It is. The shadiest thing I do with my rewards card. Here we go. Get the cops ready. It is. Hit 9-1 and wait for the other one. Go ahead.

Okay. You know how you can have a reward thing at the when you're checking out? If you don't have your phone number entered, you can enter any area code and then type 8675309. Okay. And it'll get you the discount. Got it.

Nobody's kicking in the door for that one. I know, but it still feels like I should take the time to register my number. That trick works. A North Carolina man wins a $100,000 lottery prize three years after a $200,000 win. His name's Alexandra. He told the North Carolina Education Lottery officials that he bought his $30 black titanium ticket from Food Lion and hit the $100,000. And why he was so stunned was, well, he hit the 100.

But just a few years ago, he won 200,000. UPI. And his name's Alexandra. That's cool. The industries that are most affected by time change. Where are you guys, by the way? Yes. Yeah, I'm still tired.

Okay, you guys can't pick exhaustion on both time changes. What do you mean? One of them, you have to at least be like, I feel so good. You just can't pick exhaustion on both. No, fall back, you feel great because you get an extra hour. That's not true because you guys come in that same Monday, I'm exhausted. No, it's this one, man. This one is where I'm sure.

But I do think it is sort of mental because this year I wasn't going to let myself have that exhausted attitude, and I do feel better. Okay, it'll catch up tomorrow. My point with these two is they come in exhausted every time regardless. So they can just say they're exhausted. No. I mean, I stayed up until 1 o'clock and so it was really 2 o'clock and it was just like, man, that hour of sleep would have done wonders for me. From the Detroit Free Press. I threw that sheet away from the industry.

Who cares anyway, right? Yeah. No, I have it right here. Okay. Number crunchers found that golf and barbecue industries benefit a lot from daylight savings time. Because people can golf after work. Yeah. What about the barbecue?

Meat industry just in general, the extra revenue because they start. day open later and they can sit outside. A little grilling outside. Yeah, they can grill outside later. People and restaurants. That makes sense. Here are the top two dreams men have. Oh, boy.

Far more often than women. Runtow. This is from dreams and relationships by Nicholas Haineman. What do you think it is? Because women would also have these dreams too, right? It's not just a guy dream, but the two types of dreams men have way more than women. What do you think it is? Number, what do you think it is?

Do you have way more? Oh, you think of that. your sports team winning. Okay. No, no, no, no. Oh, oh. There are two. Okay, so you two are saying doing it.

Yeah. Unlimited video games. What else? That's it, man. No, no. That's it. Twice? Number one's finding money.

This reflects a man's interest in making money and the financial pressure that he feels to provide for his family. And number two, fistfighting. This dream expresses a man's competitiveness. It also reveals that men aren't worried about whether to think when they express their anger. Okay. Are these guys seriously? You don't really dream about that.

Yeah. I've only recently started dreaming. I know. And have you had it? Nope. You haven't had that one? I haven't had any of them. Not those specific.

I, like, fly in my dreams, except I don't fly. I bounce, but I bounce like I'm flying forever. Like, what? That was early on in my life, but yeah. Because you're just starting. You're like reborn dreamer. Yeah. You're a newborn.

Yeah, dude, that's cute. A bill in New Hampshire that would make it easier to keep animals such as kangaroos, raccoons, monkeys, otters, skunks, and other. others as companion pets without a permit. Oh my goodness. Is being rejected by lawmakers. Oh. Gunk.

W. M. U.R. Kangaroo. I will put it. No. Let's get that one going so we can do the pay-per-view. No, please. It's a live stream going. A groom is being wedding shame because he wore black crocs with black socks while

exchanging his vows. Here's the thing about weddings. They're for the people having the wedding. And if there is something that they want to do if it's wear crocs, or wear a top hat or do a song and dance. Who cares? Lessons. Their marriage.

Yeah. The shaming of wedding, that is bizarre to me because it has nothing to do with you. Nothing. Nothing. And you know what? Crocs are funny. And what if they met in Walmart when they bumped in each other shopping for crocs? Yeah.

Oh, wow. That'd be a story. You just don't know. What if he's a chef and he feels so comfortable in those? That's a good point, Amy. The chefs wear crocs? Yeah. But chefs at the wedding?

He's a chef by trade, so he wants to be in his lucky crox. Okay. Yeah, we're just making up stories anyway. Yeah, I know, but it could be anything. New York Post says that story. Finally, food experts say to avoid these four items at the grocery store. This is for food safety. So this is what they say generally.

These are going to give you the worst. You could get you sick if you buy them. Not every time, but just generally. What do you think? Any of them are. I want to guess? Chicken. I don't grocery shop, so.

I mean, I buy chicken. Laffy taffy. I go to the gas station. Sprouts. Say no to sprouts. What? I love sprouts. They seem like they're going to be good for you, but when it comes to vegetables, they are most, the mo, not most of them, but most likely to have E. coli, salmonella or something more associated with bad meat or poultry than the other vegetables. Oh. So you can eat sprouts, but just know that compared to others, sprouts are going to make you sicker. And no, not Brussels sprouts, Eddie, like.

They look like. broccoli alfalfa sauce yeah i thought it was brussels sprouts too okay no no no no and brussels are only good now because it's not even the brussels brought of it it's like they pour caramel on anything it's good delicious yeah but also rinse your sprouts uh raw milk at the grocery store well what's cooked well that's not legal everywhere right um it's unpasturized it's not really cooked yeah unpasturized milk trendy in some places but the trouble is pasturation for a reason is the standard and a lot of times raw milk carries real risks, a bunch of germs.

That's why it's illegal in many states. Don't get raw milk from the supermarket. But there's a loophole here. Go to your farmer down the road. Hey, go suck a teat. Just sneak up, middle of the night. Straight from the swords. Straight from it, baby.

Prepared fresh in store equals nope. If you're going to eat pre-cut produce raw, you're dealing with the same amount of microbial risk as you would with sprouts. It's because you don't know the person behind the counter or what they've done. Yeah. And then finally, hot food bars.

When checking out a supermarket hot food bar, well, they say see if that temperature's been maintained correctly. You can't, though. Yeah. That's it. It's like when they have chicken wings sitting out there. That's why I go to the gas station. You just know what's going to be.

Yeah, yeah. All right, thank you, news. Bobby's Big. Stories. Let's go talk to Elizabeth in Virginia Beach, who's on the phone. Hey, Elizabeth, welcome to the Bobby Bone Show. How are you, Elizabeth? I'm pretty good.

Pretty good. What would you like to say? Yeah, I am dyslexic. I'm almost 60 years old, and I was able to go to a school in Massachusetts that dealt with dyslexia. There's another school in Vermont as well. The school in Massachusetts also opened up a college in New Hart. in New Hampshire. And my... You want to send Amy and Eddie there or what?

I'm not going to... I'm not sure what the point is here. And I'm glad you called, but what are you calling about? You sound a little upset. I am. Lunchbox. Lunchbox.

Yeah. Because of my dislike here. And I think he is the community. an apology. What if lunchbox gets jumped by a bunch of dyslexics today when he leaves the room?

Hold on. How did I bully? These people have told me I'm dumb for all these years and then when I take a test. I don't know. I've not said you're dumb. And then I pass the test and I beat them. It's a competition. When you win in a competition, you brag. First of all, for those that just turned this show on, we had a PhD in education

from SMU come up. And her business is working with kids that have dyslexia, giving tests to people to see if they have dyslexia. we took the test. Amy and Eddie were found to have dyslexia. And Lunchbox was very bragging on himself more than he was making fun of somebody for having dyslexia. It's like you won a game.

Right, but I don't think. Yeah. I think people are, and I would love to jump on this to him be like, you're jerk. But I think people are misunderstanding. Yes, was he annoying during the test talking and yelling? Yeah. But I don't think he was making fun of them for having dyslexia. I think he's just bragging on himself.

For dominating. No, you didn't even dominate. The grades were still almost the same. you just didn't have dyslexia. See, you're trying to help him. I didn't need further intervention. They needed further intervention. But that means you can't get any better.

You've hit your ceiling. I won the game. You've hit your ceiling of like eighth grade or ninth grade. And they have not hit their ceiling, which is crazy, like barely below you. Barely. That's awesome. That's like if you were, if Lunchbox were a fully grown athlete playing basketball and he scored 20 to a game. But you guys were like eight years old and you scored 20 a game, you still have all this room to develop and dominate him.

Because he's maxed out. About the same level you're at. Yeah. And also right now I'm kind of stuck on how he has this narrative that over the years we've called him dumb. No, he creates narratives when people call up and be like, oh, lunchbox, you're mean. Now, we do talk crap whenever we're playing a game. Everybody. Right?

Yeah. So how does that make me a bad guy? She said, I just bullied you. No, we played a game. This isn't a game. This was our life. It wasn't a game. Yeah, it really wasn't a game.

It was a test live on the radio. Yeah. A lot of people to hear. here are vulnerabilities. Amy started crying. She never cried during a game. Well, yeah. But still. Elizabeth, I understand your point. I appreciate you calling. And get the name right. Put some respect on my name. No, I like Matchbox. Matchbox. She probably did that on purpose.

Oh, good question. So what about the apology? Oh, you know what? No. She just can't, she's just. Stop. Stop. You think she read your name somewhere and said, Matt? That's not how it works. She hears us say lunchbox. But now you're sensitive about it. All right, let's go over and talk to Becky and Hot Springs. Becky. What would you like to say, Becky? Thank you for calling. Hey, Bobby.

I live in Hot Spring. My kids, I don't know if I'm allowed to save the school, but I have five kids, and my youngest son was diagnosed in ninth grade with dyslexia. And had an influx. But growing up, he could not tell me the names of the months in order. And I would get so frustrated because I thought he was doing it on purpose. And then he was diagnosed with dyslexia.

And there's two different programs that they would offer at the school. And he went through them. And in 11th grade, he took the ACTT for the first time and got a 26. That's awesome. He got scholarship money at 26. Wow. So, again, it would be like you have been working out and you can only get so strong. And you're like, man, why can not be as strong?

But then you realize, oh, wait, everybody else is taking like a supplement. Let me take the supplement. Then you take a supplement too and all of a sudden you're 10 times stronger than everybody else. Like you've been doing it without help and doing it. Again, you can't fix your brain.

I can't fix my eyesight. So. Ty Hsville is focusing in ADHD. You shouldn't look down on yourself. You should see it as great. You've gotten this far in life, which is very far with a learning disability and now you can even take that and adjust it

and who knows. He's maxed out. Lunchmark this. He can't go up. Yeah. You guys are basically at his height and you have all this room to grow. you can take the supplement, get stronger.

I also feel like we're not that good in your system. You know what I mean? Like if we would have had our own system, if the world would have adapted me and Amy's system of learning? Because I think that's probably a minority system. I know. Just saying like, then you guys would have struggled. And then we would have won the game.

But what's the system? Just however you learn. However you learn words, however you look at words, whatever that is. I don't know. But we're not good at that. And we struggled in school because of the tests

and the way you guys learned was hard for us. I can agree with that. I think if we could have acknowledged not so much of your way, but there are lots of ways, and we need to find how the individual is able to best compute. Yeah. Information going in and going out, but we don't. We go, all right, most people do this way,

so we're going to do it this way. Yeah, I got bad news for you guys. Go ahead. You do not qualify for a handicapped parking spot. I wasn't trying to get one. I think I did. I was trying to find a silver lining. There's no silver lining at all?

No, you don't get one. Doesn't qualify. What would you say is good about today for them? Oh, man. I don't know. I don't know. Nothing good for us? No, it's been a pretty rough day.

For them. For them. Yeah. It's all on the podcast if you want to hear the PhD come in. She was great. She was so nice to us. And what I like, there was no bull crap. She didn't coddle anybody.

she was just like yes no yes no but yeah she had compassion in her eyes in her eyes yeah I saw it towards me because he was like I feel like she was looking at me like telling me with her eyes you started crying though no even before the tears I feel like she walked in knowing

I think she already knew wait she could tell by the way we sat that no I think that as a listener of the show or something I just felt from her that she's like hey Amy this is going to be okay it's going to be a tough day She said it with her eyes

I feel like we should get a second opinion Because I nailed that third test Nailed it I know I did There's probably different levels Like it doesn't mean you're Dislxic in every single category I mean I don't know how it works

It's not a torn ACL bro They're not gonna look at a different x-ray Dang Listen to the podcast Go search for the Bobby Bone show Wherever your podcast You can hear the whole segment We'll put it up

Appreciate all the calls We'll move on from this I'm mad Don't be mad You should be happy You should be grateful because now you've discovered the supplement that you need to take. Do you disadvantage that you... No, dude, I'm 44 years old. It's over, man.

Well, that's that attitude. What if Sam Walton said that? Yeah. When did he have his first store? At 40, probably bought out 30. But he was older. He was an older person. There are many people who started way later in life.

I'm good. So what are you going to do? It is what it is. So what are you going to do? Just be me. Nah, man, just be me. Just going to do things the way I've been doing them. Okay.

We'll come back. I couldn't believe he got arrested. Could you? I'm scared to say I'm not going to do it Because I already am like pausing in my mind Like if I say who you're gonna go D's nuts

Yeah but that's serious A 42 year old guy in Wisconsin named D's nuts That's his real name Got arrested for battery last week Not his real name Yes it is It literally is the name Okay stand by

He got arrested at his home in Green Bay Last Tuesday for hitting and shoving his daughter Because she had done her chores So it's serious He had pulled a BB gun that looked real but his name was D's Nuts. So his original name was D-E-Z-Nuts. That was his real name.

So Des. Des Nuts. Yeah, but then they added an E to it. He did. He legally changed it and put an E there. So now his name is D's Nuts. But it was D's Nuts anyway, even if you put a long letter over that E, that first E.

How does this family spell their last name Nuts? Yeah, is L-T-S? It goes on to put D's Nuts and handcuffs, and they made sure that they were tied enough for D's nuts not to slip out of the handcuffs. Stop. That is hilarious. Which, yeah, he changed his name to...

Yeah. Oh, wow. These nuts. Yeah. So, you heard who got arrested. Who? D's nuts. For real.

Guys, I'm 43. That is still hilarious to me to do D's nuts to people. How often do you do that, though? Almost never, but when I do it, it comes back hardcore. It's like an avalanche and I do it for like a month. It's almost like that's what she says. I don't do that hard. ever. But like once, one week

a year, I just can't get enough that's what she says. We're scarred by that. But it's like, I wonder if kids do that's what she says. Like, no. They don't. They don't. Do you get to do, that's what she says? My son will, that's what she says. Amy, if they use it the right way, they understand what it means. Okay. No, they don't. They don't. No.

So, okay, we're at my son's little, it's like track meat thing and I have water and he's going to drink my water, but I was giving it to him because he's like, oh, mom, never had water after you before. He doesn't like to drink after people. And I said, well, if you're thirsty enough, it's fine.

And then he's like, that's what you said. Okay, he's not using it right. And I was like, well, okay. But he's almost using it. He did it under his breath, like looking down, like, got her. That's what she said. And it's, yeah, I don't think he quite has his down yet. Man, like a five-year-old hitting it just right, I don't know that I wouldn't be able to laugh.

It's like when lunchbox says his kid uses the F-WR because he had her. lunchbox do it. I don't know that I wouldn't. It'd be a struggle for me not to laugh. And when they use it in the right context, it's even more fantastic. Like on TikTok, a kid that is in the back sitting, they're like, oh, man, we didn't mean a teacher in this. It's hilarious.

So we'll move off of it. That's what she said. Okay. That's true. That worked. The Oscars were last night. Let's see. The big bet was Eddie has to pay Mike $20.

$10. And what was, Oppenheimer? Best actor, the dude from Oppenheimer, right? And then what was the other one? Best director. And if it won. Christopher Nolan. Eddie would pay Mike $20.

But if any of the three lost, Mike would pay Eddie $100. No, no, no. Eddie would pay Mike 100. I'm lost. Who won? Oh, he did? He hit all three of them. So you have to pay him $100?

$100. Wow. Yeah. It's already done. It's already done. You already paid him? Oh, yeah, man. As soon as it happened, I paid him last night.

Hey, Mike, did you watch the Oscars? I watched the whole thing. Okay. Okay, movie mic, movie podcast. The only thing that I saw really that was viral was John Cena being naked for like a wardrobe award and he came out butt naked. That, he is just like, it doesn't even look like a real human. It's like a cartoon character. Yeah.

Because all he was wearing was the card that said best costume on it over his, that's what she said, over his D's nuts. And his body looks like a cartoon character. Not even one that I would look at and go, man, I would like to work out and achieve. that. It's so large, his body, that again, it looks like somebody drew it. But he was naked, and it was hilarious. And apparently, though, I think

they have a little thaw on behind the card. Yeah, some kind of like little... Oh, because, yeah, when he opened the card, what happened? I don't know that that was the card that they opened, was it? Yeah, but they kept it there, and then they cut to it. They came and put like this big costume around him, and then he opened the car. Got it. I didn't stick around for that. I just wanted to sell a naked card. I think I only

saw pictures anyway, but look at it. Google it real quick. at his body. Meaning it's... Lunchbox, Google it. No, no, I'm not even sitting in a sexual way. No, I want to see it.

It's not real. His arms are just huge. It's almost like they use some special effects to make him so big. What is Hollywood? Maybe they did. They didn't. It's like the dude from Arc.

What's the name of that show on Amazon, Morgan? Wait, you don't look like this? Reacher. Yeah, he does look like Reacher. It's so big that, no, it's not that it would be impossible for someone to get to that level.

Unless you're just, you have to work a ton, obviously, and be genetically blessed. A lot of protein. Eat a lot. Yeah. Like the rock. You don't look at the rock and go, I sure like to be that size.

No. You just go, holy crap. You can never be that size. Wow. Amy's zooming in. Amy, it's been hard. Amy. Gosh, man.

I was trying to figure out what's going on. What she's zooming in? When you're watching her computer. And nodded his chest. Weird. What? No. When you zoom in, that's where it goes.

That's where it goes. I'm trying to honestly. Look at his belly button. Yeah, okay. Bobby Bones show. This story comes us from Wisconsin. Four guys, we're excited to get to a party. We've got to get there fast.

So they're driving 100 miles an hour. Boom! When they get pulled over. And in the car, four guns that came back all stolen. Oh. Yeah, the 100 miles an hour itself, iffy. It was some party, though. No, I hear you.

But to have, you're just probably going to get pulled over if any police officer sees you going that fast. And then what are they going to do? What do you got in the car? Because I can't imagine they're in suits and ties looking like they're going to a business meeting. Right. And they had four. I don't know why we often think that people that make bad decisions are suddenly going to make a rational one.

No, I know. That's like multiple felonies. Yeah. And they got arrested and they missed the whole party. Oh, they missed the party. Were they going to shoot up the party? You know? Or they were going to party party party.

No, they were going to party party party. Got it. Shoot up after the party. Yeah, probably. We go a hundred miles an hour down a street. But the park. Put the pedal to the metal because you really got to go. You got to highlight the moon.

Shoot out the lights. It's a small town Saturday night. Yeah, that's what it was. It's a small town Saturday night. Yeah. All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

What a program today. Amy and Eddie found out they're dyslexic. It's a big one. Yeah. You can hear how that all went down. We talked about it a bunch during the show. But you can hear how that all went down just by listening to the podcast. And usually I don't spoil it, but we've talked about it a lot.

And I think you guys should feel good about it. It's not something you chose, but it's actually shedding light onto how successful you guys have been at finding alternate paths. Yeah. I'm so processing. Yeah, I mean, I think that's a fun way to spin it. That's not a spin. A little bit. It's not.

Yeah, it is. You're acting like you chose to do this. It would be like, for example, I was a fun way. pretty good high school baseball player. Okay. And once people found out how bad my vision was, that my right eye didn't work, my lead eye, and it had to turn in my head,

they were like, well, considering how bad that your vision is and you can't see out of the whole lead side of your face, and you were this, which wasn't great, but you were a good baseball player? Like, that's crazy. That made me feel good. I didn't choose to have a bad eye, but I wasn't able to play like everybody else.

It's the same thing with you guys. You should be very proud of it. You're both all conference. And now declare your all conference. It chose us. Yeah, it did. We did not choose it. It did.

You didn't choose the dyslexic life? Yeah. The dyslexic life chose us. We need bumper stickers. I mean, it's pretty, yeah. It does feel good to kind of understand some things. Absolutely. Yeah.

Amy cried during it. You can hear that. That's why I'm still processing. It was a good thing. Yeah. I agree. But there's... Think about this.

Processing that. It's going to continue probably for the next few weeks. Life, you mean life. But you and Eddie are dyslexic, and you still did almost perfectly as good as lunchbox did. I beat them two out of three. Me and Bobby were on the same level. No, no, we weren't because I crushed you on levels. But we passed the same amount of tests and them, they were way back there.

But grade-wise, you guys were basically the same. But also there was that honeycomb thing and Eddie and I thought we did it right and we were all excited. I thought I nailed it. I was like, what? Lunchbox and Bobby, what? Y'all are. We're stupid. Yeah, you're stupid.

And then she's like, well, technically the way you did it, sure, it's right, but that equals dyslexic brain. Or as Amy said, dyslexic, Ben, brain. Disluxic. Disluxic. Uh-huh. Get your bobby bones on. Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
