I'm Cheryl Stray, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things. I'm excited to share that I have a new podcast called Mind Over Mountain. In each episode, I interview athletes, adventurers, and adrenaline seekers

You can be anywhere in the world, but you're here with us, and we appreciate that. Morning, studio.

Morning. Let's go around the room and check in with everybody up first. Eddie's oldest is 15 years old and almost grown. Too bad he'll be like 30 when he gets full access to his phone. Here it is. Eddie, everybody. I got a question for you guys.

Is this mean? Because I posted this on my social media and people were like, this is not cool. How could you do this? Well, on Easter, what we like to do is we stuff eggs, plastic eggs. We put candy in most of them. But in some of them, we put dollar bills. Well, I took a prop. You know, we had, I guess in the studio, we had $100.

Yeah. They look too real. Oh, yeah. They look so real. Yeah. So I took one from the studio one day and I said, it'd be funny to put this in an egg and see my kid find one and get excited that it's $100. Open it up and then see it's fake. So I put it on my Instagram.

People were like, that's so mean. I thought it was hilarious. You put a fake 100. Yeah. Because they, he looked at it. He was like, oh, cool. It says in prop we trust. Yeah.

What was the point of it for you? To see their face? to be like, wow, I got $100 and then like, hilarious. So was to troll your kid. Totally. The point was just for you to have enjoyment and trolling your kids.

Yeah, and it was awesome. So what do you think? It is mean. I'm not saying that it's not entertaining for you, but imagine you're the kid and you find an egg and you open, there's 20, 50, 100 bucks in there. Then you find out you don't actually get that.

Like, there's no way they thought I would put $100. Like, I would never put $100 in one of their eggs. They don't know. Maybe they thought you had to change a heart. You've done something. No, no, no, no. I've been there,

their whole life. It's mean. That's true. They know me. It's mean. It can also be hilarious. I just think if I were to found something and there's all this money and then you were like, ha ha, just kidding. Jokes on you.

It's fall fake. But did you give them anything afterward or was it like? No. I mean, I got the video. It's kind of funny. It's mean. See, you guys think it's funny. The lunchbox loves it.

Hilarious. It's just like fake lottery tickets. People think they hit it big and it's nothing. That's hard. I mean, I did it to strangers those fake lottery tickets. That's when it's bad. Oh, man. I'm going to go mean.

Funny, though, right? You guys? It's funny to watch you guys laugh about it. I don't want that to happen to me. Okay, we won't do it to you. It's like boss comes in and goes, hey man. Yes. You're getting a raise.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Congratulations. You're getting a raise. That's not cool. You call your wife. I got a raise. And you walk out of the room. You go, hey, come back.

Just kidding. Suck out. We just wanted us in your face. No, since you put it that way, that's not funny. Right? No, it ain't funny. That's not cool. All right, moving on.

He finally got called out for wearing sweatpants every single day, and I'm going to bet that's what he's wearing today. Here he is. Lunchbox, yeah. Guys. Oh, goodness. Here we go. The Ultima's in trouble.

You guys talked about her last week, and you jinxed her. You talked about it. We didn't jinx her. You know what got her? How you treat it, and it's old. It's a coincidence. You don't take care of it. Yeah, you do your car. You drive your car into the ground.

You don't put really the effort into keeping it. healthy it's good yeah well I got in it two days ago and the check engine light was on I figured it lived on no no no

all those lights are just on you get in it's like Christmas every day he gets in the car so I started panicking and I went to get her checked out and guys this is what they said the 05 Ultima she's not dead is she no tune up ignition coal spark plug

is all it needed not bad huh Still in the two misfire. That's all you need. It's still in perfect condition. You do your basic maintenance. All right. Thank you, man.

I was just worried. I was like, because my wife's always like, we need to get rid of it. It's a piece of crab. And I said, no. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's, it's all subjective. You know, if it's worth it to you,

it's a piece of crap to herd, guess what? You're both right. He didn't argue with it. And also, that's almost enough to total it. I mean, really. Like a cable and a car wash. Well, it's not worth washing it.

So we're going to total it. Wow. But you're back. But the good news is you just need some spark plugs and some coils and we're going to be good to go. She'll be back on the road. So, guys, say some nice things about her. I'm just so happy for the tears. They dried up.

So the crying was fake. All in one segment, by the way. He cried at the beginning and then dried up at the end of the story he was already going to tell us. Those acting lessons are paying off. Are they? All right. Next. She goes by, are they really paying off?

Did you believe he's kind of like he was really crying? He goes by. Okay. She goes by at Radio Amy on Instagram, and you never know what you'll fall for another scam. Here she is. Amy, everybody. So I haven't talked to Eddie about this at all, and I just want to know what he was thinking. Because the other day he forwarded me an email on the subject line is the road to Slitsville, practical tips for couples calling it quits.

So then I open up the forward. By the way, he's doing forwards anymore. I did. This is important. It's not like a Ford thing that you send, like you pass along to all your friends. It's like he got emailed by a PR company. clearly trying to set up an interview saying, hey, you're interested in this book that's coming out

that's going to help people, you know, avoid drama and misery if they're getting divorced or headed to Splitsville. Splitsville. And he didn't say anything about it. So I was like, well, does he think I want to do this interview or does he think I should get the book or I don't know? He wants you to avoid Splitsville.

I don't want you to go through Splitsville. Not to be miserable while you're going through Splitsville. Look, this was easy. I saw the, they sent me the email. What am I going to do with that interview? I said this is a perfect four things. Oh, for Amy for a podcast. Amy, you would love to talk about this?

That's actually not. I'm not saying it's a great interview for you to do, but it isn't bad for him to think that. Thank you. You're going through this. You can talk to him. It would be a good episode. Maybe you put that in the top of the moment.

I have time for that. I got the email forwarded Amy. No, you can say, hey, this might be good for four things. Instead, I'm like, wait, is he implying I should order this book? You got to put some contracts with that. Really? I can't just do forward? Yeah, just like, you're going to Splitzville.

That probably is not. Okay. But good for you for looking out for her. That's all I wanted to do. But it takes five, it's the number four, space. Four things. That's all, push send. Okay, I'll do that next time.

One of the topics covered in the book is avoiding advice from well-meaning but dangerous friends. All of us. You can use all that. All of us. All right, Ray. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, he likes apocalypse shows and his desire for a bunker really grows. Bobby Bones. Thank you very much.

I mentioned in lunches intro, sweatpants, and so I was going to come on and talk about actually something happening here on the show about that. But I have Desiree and Salinas, California, who actually had a similar question and thought that I did. Here we go. I just wanted to know how the guy's dress when Parker McCollum showed up to the studio. If you can give us a follow-up. It's a great question. And I'll go to Mike D for this because Mike, I don't remember how they dressed. But I asked you just to watch and keep notes.

What happened? All the guys wore jeans. So in Parker McCollum is here last week. Your jeans. Actual human adult pants. No sweatpants. Wow. Come on.

Look at these guys. However. Wow. Caitlin Smithson today. So what are the guys wearing over there? Looks like we have more jeans. They both have on jeans. What?

What did your jeans come from? Lunchbox did not come in with jeans. I swear he put that on the last 10 minutes. He did not have a monitor here. Maybe. Maybe he now keeps jeans with him. And when he shows up to work, he looks at the calendar and he's like, oh, shoot, I better go change. Rock and roll.

That was like magic. He had sweatpants like 30 minutes ago. Great. As long as he's dressed on, the artist come in, I don't care. Wow. He can wear a banana hammock. Thank you. Don't say that.

He will. And what's funny is Parker McCollum didn't even notice I was wearing jeans. That's not the point. I think he had sweatpants on. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. But that doesn't matter. It's us putting in the effort.

But look at lunchy over there. So dumb. Lunchy? Good, Lanshee. Good for you. Okay, we're ready to start the show. Glad you guys are here. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. Her name is Gray Robinson. We first met Gray when I was like, let me see if I can find somebody good just from TikTok. She came in like three years ago from TikTok, and she's awesome. And now, you know, she writes for Luke Combs as publishing company. And I think her music is so good. And she's on with us right now.

Hey, Gray, this song on this piano, where'd you come up with this idea? Well, so I had this idea about letting your emotions out on a piano. And I feel like as a songwriter and pretty much anyone who plays an instrument can probably relate. But you just kind of use an instrument to cope with certain things and hardships in life and whatever it may be. And so for me, I was like that it needs to be a piano because I feel like it's the most powerful emotional instrument. But my first instrument is definitely guitar. But I was like, it has to be piano for the song. and so I brought it to two of my co-writers, and we wrote the song.

How old were you when you first started playing piano? So I took lessons when I was like six or seven, but then I stopped, and then I picked up guitar when I was nine, and then now I just can play a little bit and writes and stuff, but I'm not as good as I wish I was, but we're working on it. So you grew up near Greensboro, North Carolina? Is that right? Yes, I did. Do you ever go back home? Are they like, Greg, you're making it in the country music world?

It's so funny. I actually was there. yesterday for Easter. And yes, everyone's so excited and everything. So yeah, they're really supportive. Gray writes for 50 egg music. Now, who owns 50 egg music? Luke Holmes, Jonathan Singleton, and Talley Canterbury. And what is it like to write with, you know, three awesome people and, you know, with Luke and Jonathan, they've both written so many number one songs? Yeah, they're literally legends. I feel so honored to get to work with them. And they're honestly also just great people and really encouraging with what I do.

because, you know, my style is also a little bit different than theirs, but I feel like it's just the perfect combination. And, yeah, so I'm really, really grateful to be there. Gray, good to talk to you. Yay, thank you so much. Good to talk to you, too. Bye, Gray. Bye.

Let's go get the mail, what you say? You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I listen to you on my way to work. I feel like you get pretty good advice. My husband and I were both married before, but my husband has his wedding band from his first marriage tattooed on his finger. Oof.

While we were dating, he told me he'd get it taken care of when we got married. 2020? COVID happened? We got married in the summer of 2020 on Zoom when COVID was at its height. So I gave him a pass on the tattoo situation. It's been three years now. And since then, he has promised over and over that he would get it removed, but he hasn't. He says it doesn't mean anything, but it does to me. I see his ex-wife tattoo on his finger every single day.

It's too wide to be completely hidden under our wedding band. I don't feel like this is something I should have to deal with seeing daily. Should I keep pressing the issue? Should I give up? I don't know. He doesn't get how important it is to me to not see the ex's wedding band daily. Please help. Signed.

Married to the ex's wedding band. So this is where he messed up. He told you early on he would get it removed. It's the end. He did say that. If he had never said it and you're like, I really wanted, then that's a conversation of he needs to value your hopes and your desires, even if it's not his because it's what you do in a marriage and you do that for him.

But that's not this conversation. This conversation is him telling you he was going to do it. Just straight up, I'm going to get it fixed. And he's not doing it. So you don't even have to have the hopes and dreams conversation. It's, hey, look, you told me you were going to. going to do this. And I know that I'm annoying or nagging or whatever you want to call it. But you told me you were doing this. Now you haven't done this. So you haven't lived up to the

commitment that you gave before we got married. And yes, it does bother me. And you can go on at other stuff too. Like I just want you to take things that are important to me, even if it's not important to you, but make them important to you because it's important to me. That's secondary. He said he would do it. He's lied so far. He owes you to get that thing fixed. Just because he said he was going to do it. So you can get a fixed a couple ways. One, tattoo your whole finger. Ooh, the whole thing.

You have a whole tattooed and ink black finger. Oh, a sleeve. Okay. On your finger. Next option. Yeah, it'd be like a glove. A finger. Okay, and if that doesn't work, tattoo your whole hand.

Then you got a full glove. Okay. Next. Next would just be to get it removed. Laser. Yeah, what is that? Laser. What's that process?

Doesn't that hurt? Yes, it hurts. It hurts, but less and less. It still hurts, but the people that I know that've gotten tattoos taken off and multiple, and have done it through different years and stages, they're still like, yeah, it's annoying. I have to go in multiple times, but it doesn't hurt as bad as it used to. But he has to get it removed. Yeah.

Yeah, don't give up on this. I would agree. And there are some battles. You just go, I'm not going to win this one because I think it will help me later on. But he told you he would do it. And maybe you wouldn't have gotten married if he said, I'm never going to do it. I don't know. That's probably not the case, but I don't know.

But yes, he owes it to you. So you start with you said you were going to do it. And then you just start not living up to your commitment and send it to him. Oh. And if that's an affair, go for it. That sounds healthy. You know. Tip for tat.

Absolutely. That's how you win. I don't know. Because she'd be proactive and book the appointment and be like, hey, guess what? I wouldn't yet. I wouldn't yet. I wouldn't yet. I wouldn't yet.

And I hate that she's going to have to give up something too because the third part of this. The final episode of the trilogy is for her to go, okay, I know you want this. I'll make sure this happens. but I want this, so please make sure this happens. I hate to have to bargain for something that he's already promised you, but he may be that hard-headed. So, number one, he made a commitment to you. He owes you that because it makes you feel extremely uncomfortable.

Number two, well, he says it's not that important. Okay, but what's important to you should be important to him? Not everything, but the big thing should. So even if it's not important to him, like I said, since it's important to you, it should be important to him. Number three, what can you give him in trade? But don't offer three until you go all the way through one and two. I mean, gosh, how would he feel, I don't know, if she had been married before,

and maybe it's not even a tattoo, but let's say it was a cool diamond that she really loved and she just walked around wearing it on her ring finger all the time. I agree, but you know what you'd say? Because it didn't happen? I'd be fine with it. Okay. I'd just have all the time. My wife had it all time.

I'd be like, I'd love to have a baby come out of me. It'd be easy. We talk about just like pregnancy and kids and our friends having babies and my wife's not pregnant. But at some point, we plan to have a kid or eight. Eight? Well, I'll watch Eddie and I'm like, I can do that times too. No, you can. It's like, I don't really want to aid.

I'm just like, I show him how hard it is. But it's like, yeah, I wish I could have a baby. Come ripping out of me. That would just really. That's so dumb. And she's like, well, you won't. You can't. You can just say that.

And I'm like, absolutely. That's why I said it. Here we go. I'll say it again tomorrow. Yeah, he owes you. I'm going to leave it there. He owes you. Go to town.

Stay focused. And do one, two, and then three at the end. All right. Close it up. We got your email and we have the clothes. Bobby Felt back. Yeah. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. Tell me something good. There's a two-year-old pit bull at a shelter named Strawberry. The strawberry had a big lump on her head. They even nicknamed her Unicorn Dog. And nobody wanted to adopt her. So she was on the list to be euthanized. It's a massive.

It's like a knot. Like you see a boxer get punched in the head and you get some of those big knots. Oh, yeah. It's like that, but times three right off the top of the head. So the foundation that rescued her decided, you know, clean her up, did some MRIs, real. that the lump on her head was scar tissue from previous injuries. Oh, somebody hitting her.

So strawberry was put up on a website and fingers crossed, a family or somebody was going to come along, and a family did. They said that when they saw strawberry on the website, something just spoke to them. And strawberry's already home with them. They have twin kids that come home after school and cuddle up with strawberry. Just kind of famous throughout the neighborhood when they go on walks. People want to stop and talk to strawberry. Rub the lumps, what I do now.

Yes. Make it feel like the lump's awesome. It is. And so it's just a really special thing. And so just seeking out adopting dogs because, yes, it really does happen where they get put down. It's a big lump. It's like on top of her head, but over her left eye, it's at least softball size. And poor dog doesn't know the difference.

But it just thinks that it exists because probably somebody was hitting her. Something bad. But good thing for this family came in. That is awesome. And I love when people will adopt a pit bull because pit bulls have an unfairly bad reputation. and Pibbles are all. I had Pibble.

I love Pibble. He was the best. So great job for Strawberry, aka the Unicorn Dog. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win.

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

Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

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 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.

It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. She's one of my favorites. Her name's Caitlin Smith. She was raised in Minnesota. She started singing in church, playing a piano at a really early age, writing songs before she was even a teenager.

Before getting a record deal, she wrote a ton of big songs for other artists. You may know this big top 40 song from Megan Trainer called Like I'm Gonna Lose You. Tricia Yearwood had the song Every Girl in This Town. She wrote this one here. Cassidy Pope, wasting all these tears. She's such a good singer. You know, she had that song with Old Dominion, too, recently, called I Can't. And she's coming in.

She's walking in the studio right now. Here she is. Please welcome. Caitlin Smith. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Caitlin Smith. Caitlin, how are you? I'm so good.

I'm really good. It's good to see you in this room. We see each other out sometimes. I'm always like, I'm your biggest fan. You're always like, stop being creepy. We're friends. So, Caitlin's got a whole new album that's out, and some of the songs you may already know,

but you've added a bunch of songs to it as well. And so you guys, it's up now. You're going to hear it perform and you're going to go, I must get that album. And I already have a streaming service, but I must go and buy the album now. Then I must get an album also, like a CD, and you're going to have like five versions of it.

That's how good it is. It's on vinyl too. Really? Yes. Do you sign all those? Do you sign a lot of those? I do. I do.

It actually sells things more. I think people like to have that physical, I don't know, memory. I have that you gifted me. It's very nice. I have a framed picture of us and then a big lyric sheet that you wrote. And it sits in my house and it's super cool. And I guess probably just because you wrote it with your own hand, unless you had like an assistant do it. Nope, I did it.

She tells me now. Your songwriting is extremely honest and vulnerable. feel at times when writing such personal songs, even if you're writing it for another artist to cut, that not that you're revealing too much, but that it could be a little too vulnerable or maybe not even vulnerable, but you're being so specific that it may not resonate. Does that conversation ever happen in your head? Yeah, I mean, I think all of that is running through my head, especially dancing on that line of vulnerability.

And it's like, how much is overshare? How do we paint it where it feels like this is emotion that everybody has? But I think sometimes in the specificity of it, I think people can really relate to those really small moments of intimate details. And I feel like there's a trend, and maybe now it's a little bit more than a trend of people getting extremely specific. And I like that because I don't have to match the exact thing you're saying. But I have something in my life that's a version of that, even if it's like, you know, I wore my white sneakers and, my mismatched socks and I'm like okay maybe I didn't do that but I have that version as well totally and so I really like that about how you write and kind of about how songwriting is happening

now have you noticed an effort to be more um yeah I'll just say specific about certain elements when writing I think so it also depends on what the topic is and um I mean there's a line in in one of the songs on the on this second half of the record um it's a song called Alaska and the open line and it is, I'm terrified will end up like my parents together, but alone. And it's like, it's such a vulnerable, scary thing to say out loud. But I remember saying it in the writing room and being like, you know what, I'm not the only one that feels this way. I think about my grandparents. I think about like their, you know, like people have this, you know, people feel this feeling. And so, um, I don't know. I always try to dance in, in that world of like,

almost uncomfortable, but not too much. Same. I wrote a line. I have IBS. I'm living with all this stress on my stomach. Oh yeah yeah yeah and I felt like somebody else's got to be living this too somebody's got to be living that somebody's got to be understanding this. Hi was a song that you wrote with Miley and it was originally on her album so is it what's the rule there is it fair game to cut it after it's released by the artist do you have a conversation about that yeah once it's released one time anybody and or and their mom can record the song and so it's like I guess you're right because people cover songs people cover songs all the time and so I always consider it like, okay, that artist recorded it, that's great, and then I can do the songwriter

version over here. And so, I guess it feels different because you wrote it. Yeah. Because I didn't think about that. Anybody can do a cover of anything. Yeah, totally. But because you wrote it, it feels like it's a different version of it. Yeah, it's like the, it's like the one, I don't know. When I think of the version that I released of high and when I had written it, I heard it like the way that I produced it with big gospel choirs and like, you know, this just kind of big, massive sound. And so it was fun to hear Miley's version. And she's got like a loop in the background.

And it's very, very different than I imagined it. So it was kind of fun to then take the song and make it how I heard it in my head originally. Yeah, Laura McKenna, you know, with a lot of the songs that she had written and other artists turned into huge songs, to hear her do that with the burn the rifle, I think is what the name of the album was. Maybe a little off on a word there. But, you know, she did the same thing. And it's like, oh, oh, that's how she actually imagines it.

as it was being written to perform. Yeah, I never thought about it like that. That it can just be a cover. But it's just weird that you wrote it. It's like covering you. It is. It's Kate covers Kate. How did that write with Miley come together?

Well, hi actually, I wrote with my friend Jen DeSilvio, and the song then kind of got passed through different email chains, ended up in the hands of Mark Ronson, who was working with Miley on her last project. and so Mark played the song for her. She fell in love with it. She changed it up a little bit to fit her story and put it on the record.

But then since then, I've gotten to get in the writing room with her, which has been such a treat. That's cool. She's an incredible artist and an incredible writer. So I've got a song in her most recent record called Island, and I'm just a big Miley fan, so it's so fun. Me too. I think Miley's awesome.

She's incredible. You have a song called Writing Songs and Raising Babies. how do you balance being a mom and an artist? Great question. Depends on the day. Some days I feel like, I've got this. And some days I'm like, I'm failing. At what?

Both? One of the other? Both. Like, it's like, you know. And so it's a constant juggle every day of making sure that, okay, I've got, I'm doing the things that I need to check off on my list for my job. But then also when I get home really just, you know, putting my phone down and focusing some connection time with my kids.

I bring them on the road sometimes if the tour runs are long and that's a total circus, but it's worth it to me to have them along. And I know you wrote the song I'm about to talk about here, but I didn't see you in the credits for the performance. Is there any chance that you're doing the background vocals on every girl in this town with Trisha because it sounds just like you? That is me. It is you?

Yes, which is totally crazy. She was the first concert I ever saw in my life. And so when she cut the song, it was like this crazy, full circle moment, but then to be, I remember I was like all the way pregnant in there, like, singing back her vocals and I'm like, this is the craziest moment of my life. Is it, do you sound different if you're all the way pregnant? Or is it just a win thing? I think it's just a win thing.

Like, we definitely had to like punch, like, some of the breaths. Like, it's just harder to get all the notes out. I saw you sing the National Anthem at a Packers game. Yes. So walk me through that because there's a lot of people there. it's probably cold or cold-ish. I don't know what the temperature was that night. And, you know, with the anthem, it's awesome to do it because you love the country.

But it's like being a referee. If you do the most perfect, amazing version ever, nobody really says anything except, hey, good job. Because you're just expected to do it. But if you mess up one little thing, one tiny thing, you're all over the internet. You can't. Yes. So talk to me about singing in a stadium with that many people, the national anthem. Are you just going, just don't mess this up?

I am going, don't mess this up. And the thing with the Packers game was, it was like the first show at Lambo that season, and there was a flyover too. So I'm also thinking about you have to get a certain time so that you can't go too slow. You just have to stay consistent of how you always do the pacing

and don't embellish too much. And it's just a lot of practice. Oh, man, I'll be it. It's not as a rome. You don't even hear of the bread. You know it's nuts. As a month later, I got to do it. the Thanksgiving game for the Minnesota Vikings. And that one was televised to, you know, just 25 million people.

And I'm from Minnesota, so it's my home stadium. And, you know, the most nerve-wracking thing was like, they wait to come back from commercial, but then they silence the entire stadium first. So I'm sitting in like 15 seconds of dead silence where everybody's like in the stadium's looking. I was like, I'm going to pee my pants. Do you have to do the thing too where it's like, so you're on? Yeah, I'm literally going, so I get the note and don't forget. And is the anthem? Like, Rain Man.

Yeah, I feel like the anthem, too, is if you start and you're not starting really low, because that song goes so high that you can get lost. Exactly. And so you have to start, oh, because it goes. You have to get down there. Or you just, you don't have to worry about that. I definitely worry about it. I definitely worry about starting too high because you don't want to, you don't want to botch the big notes, right?

And if you start higher, then you have to go even higher later on. And I know that's already really high. Right. That'd be me. My ears are red, my head's about to pop. You're really squeezing those butt cheeks. How old were you the first time you did the anthem? It was like a kid thing?

Were you like 19? So I grew up behind a baseball field. And they always had baseball games going on like high school and college. And I would run over there and I would run up to the box. And I'd say, hey, I think I was probably eight years old. I was like, hey, can I sing the anthem? And they're like, do you know it? And I was like, yep.

And then they would just let me do it. And so that would be like my thing. And the announcer ended up being an announcer for like the Minnesota Timberwolves and like some other bigger sports. So then I started doing it as a little kid. Hold on. The announcer at my tiny little town baseball stadium was also an announcer at like for the Timberwolves. Wow. So then I was like singing the anthem as like a nine year old that Timberwolves came.

That's pretty cool. Our announcer was like the pastor at Mount Pine Baptist. That's it. That's amazing. So I saw a picture of you taking a shot with George Strait and Vince Vaughn on Instagram. How did that all... Weirdest moment of my life. Yeah, what was that? How'd that come together?

That was so crazy. So I've had the honor of getting to share the stage with George over the last couple years. He's really been such a champion. And so he does this residency in Vegas. And so Vince Vaughn is a big George fan. He happened to be there. And he also happened to be there to catch my set as well. And so I like ran into him like backstage.

I was like, what's going on? And we talked for a minute. And then people just kind of ushered us into the shot room. And we're like, okay, we're doing a shot with George Strait. There's a shot room. That's what I'm in the shot area. The shot room. When you're with somebody who's famous, and this is a struggle that I have,

and you want a picture, but you don't want to ask for a picture because then it makes it all weird because then you're the picture asker and they don't treat you the same because it may have been treating you like a peer at first. What's your move to make that happen? Usually someone on my team is really good about orchestrating it. Like, oh, hey, you guys, let's get a picture of you guys. And it's way less awkward when it comes from someone else. So I always be like, hey, help me get a picture. I do the ask of someone else, so it's less weird. That's a cool. It's a cool picture of you guys. And I know you're doing with George Strait, you're playing as his main support, like that's also just cool, right?

So crazy. It's so cool. I mean, he is the king. And to like, he's just a masterclass in class, in songwriting, and choosing songs in an amazing career. And so being able to like watch the king, I'm just crying in my tequila the whole time. It's pretty incredible. The new album, High and Low, it is out right now. It's Caitlin Smith in studio with us. And you have your guitar. And so. If you feel good about playing, I would love for you to play. I always kind of feel guilty when, like, great singers come in and it's early in the morning.

And I'm like, go ahead and do the thing you do great at a time that's really, really not the best for it. You feel good? I feel great. I feel great. So what song you're going to do for us here? I would love to play a song called Lately. Okay. This is from the new record.

It is Caitlin Smith. Come on. They should take that recording. This is what they should do. They take that recording. And they quickly put in the car. They drive it up to the Smithsonian. They put it in there.

It goes in the museum. Everybody listen to it. We'll talk about music. And then you put it in a couple different categories. You put it in country. You put it in Seoul. You put it. And then we take it to the country's a call of fame.

And you don't get to see them do what they do wonderfully all the time. If you see them in just general everyday circumstances, and every time you come in, I'm like,

And with this tour, I'm actually, I'm doing it as a one-woman show, and so it's just me and a guitar and my piano and the stories. And so it's an intimate experience, and we started in Texas last week, and it was so fun. So it's a really special night. I want you guys to go watch Caitlin.

Wow. You're so. He may have a last name. If he gets Bono and Elvis, Eddie, and that's some people you love. Elvis cannot be on here. I mean, why? Because it's Elvis Presley, though.

It can be Elvis. On all his records, it's Elvis Presley. It's not about that. You're missing the point. You don't understand the game. They just ask people, and they say name a musician who goes by one name. Yeah, like, you know who Elvis is. If you just say Elvis, the people will know it's Elvis Presley.

You're not going to go, well, Elvis Costello or Elf. And it may be wrong, but show the boy Elvis. I told you. You told you. Oh, man, I got this, Mones. It's round three. The round you're waiting for, let's be honest. Yeah.

Eddie says show him weekend. What's in the world? No! You got two points. And you went first. You win first. I'm usually the best of this. That's the power spot.

Amy, you got to. get one. You'll take the lead, but if you don't get it right, lunchbox wins. I know. Come on, Amy. Okay, I'm trying to think. One dollar up for grass. You already cost us $100, so come on. I didn't. All your actions did.

No, I said $100? No, you go on like this like... No, like I can't believe. You're like, I'm disappointed. Not too. Are you kidding? You normally say like, okay, here. I just pulled that in my wallet. I know, and it's amazing. Nobody complained. I think you just realized, shoot, I've pulled the one out.

Hey, let's get that club going. Yeah. All right, Amy, 2,000 Americans. We're asked, name a musician who goes by one name. Let's do it. We'll go back to 100. Yeah. Oh, my goodness.

Yeah. I'm already out. You're already out. Go ahead. Amy, we need to go ahead. Okay. Dre. Dr. Dre.

Dre. He said she said Dre. Dre beats. Dr. Dre. Deets. You're going to. That answer should have been Dre. The answer should have been Drake.

That's what I thought she was saying. It should have been Drake. Oh, it should mean drain. Yeah. Let's go. Let's go. It was Drake. Drake was on there.

Drake was on there. Wow. Rihanna was on there. Oh, Rihanna. And Shakira was on there. Her hands go live. And lunchbox. Come over here.

Come on. We, we need. No matter what. Look at your money. Give him his money, man. There you go, let it. We do that light thing. Yeah, you got to do the highlighter.

Here, here's a highlighter. Not real! I know what the honey feels like. Oh, let me see. That's what they do at the store. Why are you guys testing the money? Just in case, Mons, we don't know how you roll. Could be rolling dirty.

How would I roll? That's not money. See, it's not funny, is it? You know, how we're doing the bed and lunchbox is like, it's hilarious when you give somebody fake lottery tickets. Wait, what do you mean? That's a fake $100 bill from the movie prop collection. And now...

United States. It's copy money. How's that feel? It felt too thick. It felt too thick. That's why I was like, man. How does that feel right now? You just thought you won.

And you and Eddie thought it was so funny. Now I even think it's funnier. This is great. Michigan State Troopers are investigating a road rage incident because there were two people, and they started to just get angry at each other. So they were like driving, swerving, having road rage. And then they decided to get out and just fistfight each other in the highway.

Oh, my God. In the middle of the highway? The two drivers were seen fighting on the highway. Like right on the side of it, car. It's like when somebody has a flat tire, but they're parked a little too close. And you're like, oh, like you don't want them to get hit, so you try to get in the other lane,

but sometimes you're like you can't. But they're like that close. And they're just whack, whack. And the loser gets, hopefully doesn't get knocked into the road. Right. I mean, that's a move pushing them into traffic. Like in movies, it's like they fight on a cliff. They're all at the edge of the cliff.

And then one of them, ah. But both drivers engaged in, repeated reckless driving behavior. The two cars then hit, then they got out, and then they just started whopping each other. And cars are driving by going, what's happening? I can imagine. No arrests were made at the scene. Warrant requests will be submitted on both drivers for reckless driving.

There are also assault and battery charges that will be requested. And it's just you don't know the person, right? And it's all happening. Luckily, nobody had a gun. But then once you get out and you're like, we're going to fight. Because you couldn't really size them up in the car. And you're angry. But what if you get up and they're just way bigger than you?

Yeah, it's possible. And they're like a massive muscular UFC dude. And you're like, you really felt good about it. And you're like, ah, crap. Do you just submit and go, you know what? I was wrong. I'll. Or do you just go?

Like, I'm this far. Let's just fight it out. You got to go. You got. Most fights, you size up before you go into it. Like, do I have a chance? Yeah, this one, you don't. They just get out of the car.

It's like the mass singer. It pulled the head off. You're like, oh, look at that. It's Toby Keith. It's like that was who you're about to fight. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So if you want to avoid getting your car broken into or even stolen, well, who better to get advice from than an actual car thief? And there's one that's giving us tips on TikTok. How to keep your car from getting stolen from somebody who has an existing grand theft auto felony on their record. Park near windows. Park somewhere that is an eye view of windows.

Get a club. It's a deterrent. It keeps them away. it, 2009. If you have a car that was made before then, I would be very careful because you have the type of car that the person who's wanting to steal it, you know, would steal. A club.

That's the old thing. That's old school. They still buy those? Yeah, you know what? I ain't put, I don't be honest with it. Every time I get out of the car, I'm like, hold on a second, club. Put it on my steering wheel. We did back in the day, though.

I never had a club. You did? I did. I did. And my car still got stolen. I think I would have paid more for the club than I would have my cars, though, back I'm being honest. And your car got stolen when you were 16?

Nah, no, no, I was already older. But it was the Jeep. But the club was on it? No, no, no. Well, if you had it, why did you put it on there? No, what? No, the reason it got stolen is because I had a hitch in the front. All I did was lower the hitch and pull the car away.

So the club didn't matter, even if it was on. Yeah, even it was on. It didn't work. Oh, gotcha. Huh. Which, um, also I hear lunchbox's year. His car is more susceptible to getting stolen because he's before 2009. Oh, no.

Technology is not as good. Mm-hmm. But I don't know that. And also don't leave your doors unlocked. That's smart. Don't put your laptop and all your jewelry in the front seat. Exposed. But we say that, but people still do that.

I know. And there have been times where I'm like, oh, I shouldn't leave my bag there because I carry a purse, obviously, like I talk about. And I'm like, oh, I shouldn't leave my purse right there. And so even at times I forget, so then I put in the trunk. But you all put our purses in the trunk, guys. Of course. And the one that's sticking out to me is windows. Like, that's so smart because they don't want anybody to see them actually doing it.

So try to park by a window. Or in a parking lot, you want to be underneath a light if you can. And if it's daytime, think about that too, if your car's going to be there at night. All right, what else? If you want better service at restaurants, well, get dressed up. That's all you got to do, because a study found that servers are more likely to assume that you're going to be a really awesome tipper if you're a little more dressed up, and then they'll treat you better. Is it worth it, though?

No. It's how much time I've spent spending getting dressed up, iron in my clothes, getting the, versus how much better service do I actually need. And they shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I hear you on that part. I don't care about that. They shouldn't, right? I can't fix culture.

Right, they really shouldn't. But what I'm saying is if I'm putting in 17% more effort to get dressed up nicer and only getting 6% more good service from the wait staff, I'm still down. Oh, you're probably going to get the best table on the house and you're probably not going to have to wait. I'm not going to place where there's a house to get a good table. I'll be honest. Anyway, we're good. I like a booth if that's okay.

But I ain't really going anywhere where it's like Anyone goes, I'll take the best table In the house. It says guys get the bigger difference. Well-dressed men were seen as the best Tipper. So lunchbox might be on to something. You get a good seat, you get treated right, and you still just tip the same. But what's he on to? Because he doesn't dress, or he doesn't tip. He doesn't do either one of them.

Listen, I don't know. He's the most confusing person on the show. He says one thing does the other. I can't ever figure him out. We're a tuxedo. Next time you're going to get your Pene-Penet Pato. Peanut Pato. Tos. Or a tuxedo. I don't have a tuxedo, man, but I'd borrow one. Morgan Wallin and Taylor Swift-themed promposals are super big this year.

Google trends say that they are the top two prom-posal ideas that kids have been Googling and looking up, which a promposal is obviously just how kids are asking their dates to prom, and they incorporate lyrics from a Morgan song or a Taylor song. I saw one, I'm going to need some whiskey glasses. Do you go to prom with me? Oh. It's like, that doesn't make sense. That doesn't really work.

This is one. It said, hey, I know I'm not Morgan Wallen, but let me spin you around prom. There's one where the guys like, hey, I want to take you up down, up, down, up. That's not good. Wait, that's not going out of there? That's not good at all, man.

Okay, I mean, that's my pile. Okay, thank you. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay at home, it's not been good. Two years ago, Isabella is a 17-year-old high school student when she's not feeling very good. It's not, energy's down, not something's wrong.

Goes to the doctor and they tell her you have severe kidney failure. You're going to need a new kidney or it's over. Instead it like that to her, you need a new kidney or it's over, kid. That's not the best way to sit down. That doctor needs to learn how to talk to people. Bedside manner. Yeah, so she has an at-home dialysis machine. She's been on it for six hours a day since then.

She's in college now. She still needs a donor. They've been putting it on Facebook. And they're like, we've got to do something different. They did billboards around the city of Atlanta. The first weekend the billboard was up. Someone driving down the road saw it. And it's her face that says, be my hero.

And there was a website. Someone logged onto the web, went to her website, read her story, and said, hey, I'll go get tested. Perfect match. And now they're going through the donation process. Wow. From a billboard. It's a big green billboard with her face on it.

And it says, Kidney for Izzy. dot me in just the website, right? You don't want to put too much up there. And it's also smart to use the face because it makes it a human. Yeah. Connect to it. Yeah. It's not just because I've seen before different things where it's just like, hey, need a kidney.

But no face. I'd even put somebody's face on prettier than me. Oh. Oh, is it over me? Switch. Yeah, I get like somebody better looking and be like, sure could use a kidney. Okay. Would you, you know, people want to help.

People are good looking. And so, but good for Izzy. Yeah, she's going to get a kidney. and she can continue her study. She goes to Kennesaw State University. Going to get that degree, get that kidney, and let's go. Because I don't think you ever have to meet the person until later. It's not like you're holding hands going into surgery.

They'd be like, you sure doesn't look like Ryan Gosling, but okay, let's just give him a kidney. That's all they need to know. All right, Xbox, that's a great story seriously. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Corny. What has 10 letters and starts with gas? What has 10 letters?

and starts with I don't know what An automobile Test that's what I was this Morning Corny That's good Honest question I need an honest answer

You will not be judged You ever shoplifted? Yeah Yes Oh my goodness I didn't expect it to come down It was a long ago When I was a kid

My friend Dennis made me do it Wait wait a lot Dennis did it I mean I was not expecting Three yeses It's terrible man It's like a good singer

just walked up on stage and Americans got talent and you all like, wow. Yeah. Okay. Well, a third of Americans, unless you're on this show, it's 75% of us. Because I've never shoplifted. But a third of Americans admit that they have shoplifted before. A lot of them say it was a kid.

Some say it was an adult. But I'm so surprised that that many Americans, what 33% of Americans, have actually stolen. Let's go around the room. What have you stolen? Lunchbox. Oh, man, I've stolen a lot of things. My one hack or whatever that I used to do was still on baseball cards. I would go to a certain store and you would put the baseball cards on the very bottom of the basket

and then put two poster boards inside the basket. And they would just look in the basket and see the poster board until you'd pay 25 cents for two poster boards. You'd walk outside, take the cards off the bottom of the cart and throw the poster board in the trash, ride your bike home, had a whole box of cards for free. Well, 25 cents. I mean, did that numerous times. And they never saw it coming. No.

Eddie, what have you stolen? We were in college. Wow. And we were at a house party and we needed ice. And my buddy Dennis worked at the convenience store, but it was his off day. And he said, you know, we can just take as much ice as we want. Like, no one ever noticed that. So we backed the pickup truck.

And we paid for one bag of ice and we took the whole machine. Like, I mean, it was probably like 75 bags. And so we went back to the party. How would nobody notice that? Well, we had the idea. we would make it a snow party. So we threw all the ice in the backyard. So you went from me to have an advice to have in your drinks.

We're going to turn this thing into a winter wonderland party. We did. We threw all the ice in the back and it was a snow party. But that is stealing. It's not funny anymore. Like now that I'm older, that's not cool that we did that. Well, your tone just changed though. One second.

Did you ever still beer? Yeah, we steal beer. Yeah, we still beer. I mean, that's normal. No, that's not normal. No, in high school, though, it was. Like, there was at our high school. No, but it's not normal.

I don't know. Normal. I'll get and take it back. Maybe normal. It's not right. There was a C-Mart gas station right by our middle school and high school and the beer truck would pull up and they would be on one side and they would walk into the store and you, and they leave it unlocked. You pull up on the other side of it. They can't see you.

You just open it up and. That's a heist. Yeah. We took 32 cases one time. No way. We do it all the time. You still throw. I can name.

Actually, I can think of names of guys from my school that that was what they did. Like there was, I can even picture the gas station, but it's like they would skip school. They knew right when the truck was going to be there. How did the truck now know this was coming if this was such a common thing? And what's crazy is mine was in McAllen. Theirs were in Austin. So we were doing this all over the state. So let me get this straight.

A beer truck would pull into a gas station. The guy would walk in, but he'd open the, back. There's only one lock that controls the whole truck. And once that lock is unlocked, all the doors can go out. And if you go on the far side of it, you can't see from inside the store that there's someone on the other side of the truck. So you open those doors and that's where you take the beer out and then you close them and drive off.

And you got to do it real quick. Yeah. Guys, this is like next level. This is real crime syndicate type stuff. Oh, yeah. This is a long time ago. Yeah, yeah. It sounds like in college.

You know what else? You know what else I did? I think about it now. I was a cashier at a grocery store. And, oh, man. I don't know where he's going crazy. He just started, he just went, oh, it's bad. Like, he's even questioning him.

What's it called, like, statute of limitations? Oh, I think he's clear here. but the fact he doesn't have a conscience about any of this and the fact that he has to go, uh-oh. And my brother was in college and he was like, dude, I'm going to send my roommate through your line, you know what I mean? And so he would fill up the cart with groceries.

And I'm talking, it was overflowing. And I just not scan everything, just put it over and charge them $10. That's bad. Yeah, that's stealing too. Yeah, but then he'd have parties. Did you go? Yeah.

Would you take advantage of what do they got? Or they had meat. I mean, they'd steak, they'd grill out. Oh, a lot of meat. You know, like the bonehead's, story the day. My brother, his roommate was Van Hookman. Guys, we could have all been bonehead stories. It's only five years statute of limitations, so you guys are free to say what happened.

Oh, man. Sorry, there was this long time. Oh, boy. It all starts pouring out. I didn't realize we took so much. Amy, anything you want to say? Yeah, so definitely too many years ago, so I won't get in trouble. I think I was maybe five, six, and I really wanted Reese's cups.

And my mom said no. So I stuck them in my pants. and then when we were walking out, they fell out of my pants and landed in the parking lot and my mom made me go back and confess and turn myself in. It was fine. You go to jail?

No, but I was like, well, this is embarrassing, so I didn't, I guess my stealing days were over at that moment. Who was your cellmate? It's tough. I mean, that's good, though. I don't have a story. Do you have anything? Like, nobody from your high school did beer runs.

If they did, I didn't get to hang out with them because those kind of people didn't want me around. And you probably only had one store to steal from. Yeah, you can't really do it in a small, small town, I bet. Yeah, we had two gas stations. Oh, yeah. And they were both, there was one in town and one slightly outside. So you could have, but also I wasn't invited to parties and stuff.

So it doesn't matter. I wouldn't. And also, yeah, to kids listening, the guys that I can think of that did that, I actually kind of know where they are now in life. And, you know. Amy, there's two. sitting right next. Yeah, Amy.

Hello. We're doing all right. I'm not talking about to y'all. I'm talking about the people from my high school. And so it's just like, you know. I think we're doing all right. Well, y'all are the exception to the rule. And he's just waving at her.

Hello. I'm saying the ones from. I got a question. It's taking cash. Is that shoplifting? Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. From where?

Where? That's, like. Like a bank? Did you rob a bank? That's got robbery. That's not stealing, bro. That's not straight robbery. All right.

Yeah, I don't know anything about that. Is there anything? Like how much cash? Nah, no, no, no. I don't talk about that. I got a couple stories. I was like, dang, I need to share this with the show immediately. Number one, Montana has become the first day to approve a full ban on TikTok.

Oh, wow. State lawmakers voted to approve the ban on Friday, sending it to the governor for a signature. The bill makes it illegal to download the TikTok app in the state of Montana. Punishable by fines up $10,000 a day for if you get in the app store and you have it. Or also Google for Android. TikTok users would not be fined under the band. I'd be trying to get it at Black Market. Yeah.

Underground. Yeah, I mean, they're not going to find the actual user. So if you've already had it, they have to just, you have to delete it. I don't know if it's grandfathered in. I just don't think it works. Oh, that's a good point. Because Ray, you're the one that's been keeping up with this. Because like on campuses in certain places, you can't have it.

Yeah, the Wi-Fi blocks it. Yeah, there are some things you just can't use. In some countries you go, they don't allow, like, let's say you go to China. There's a lot of stuff you can't use there. Yeah. Several states have banned the use of TikTok. For example, Draft Kings, who I use and love, and their sponsor of 25 whistles, my sports show.

Because some states haven't legalized it yet, you can have it on your phone, but it won't work because the geo map is once you're in the state, you're like that. Sorry, buddy. You can't place a bet, but the app still opens. Yeah, but you won't be able to place a bet on TikTok either. I don't know, dude.

I don't know. I know as I draft you that can't use it in some states. That's crazy. It makes sense because, like, as a parent, I can control certain things that, like, I can have on my phone, but then suddenly it doesn't work on my kids. Several states have banned TikTok on government devices.

Montana is the first state to pass a statewide ban and then it's going to the governor. That's from NPR. And I'm going to say this. I've said it four or five times. If our country ever works on something and they're working on it in a bipartisan way because this is such a divided coming from polar sides country. When people work on things together in this country, if it's war, terrorists, natural disasters, that people are government, they tend to come together for that stuff.

They're coming together for this. That means they know some stuff. There's something there. Yeah. I talked to somebody who worked in tech, just moved here from San Francisco, sold his company. And he was like, TikTok's bad news. And I'm like, no, it's good news.

You've been on it? He's like, no, I get it. I said, no, you don't because I'm on it all the time and it's awesome. It's fun. And he says, but all you're doing is allowing a foreign, entity that is an enemy because they're probably not controlling us yet, but they have

the ability to shift little thing, to even divide us more, to feed people who like the stuff from the left, to make them hate the right more, from the right, to make them hate the left more. Like their goal is to divide us so they can beat us. So, I love

TikTok, but I also understand based on even the limited knowledge that I have why, it's probably not the best idea. that China runs it and owns it. That's crazy. That's all. Like we should just like sell it to Mark Cuban, you know?

I trust him. Yeah. That's why I said, yeah, he's done with the Mavericks. We should eat about the coves, you know? All right, moving on. Listen to this. And it's going to start sad, but I'm telling you on the other side of this, it won't be as sad, so bear with me.

Sammy Burko, a teenage boy from Missouri City, Texas, went to a rock climbing gym and he had cardiac arrest while he was at the rock climbing gym and he died. Two hours later he was alive. Well, not 20 seconds, not four minutes. Listen to this. I'm sitting home last night reading this story and I'm like, I went, wow. My wife's like, what happened? I never reacted stories like this, like that, because we do him all the time. This is a great one. He climbed to the top of the wall. He rang the bell and then his body went Lump up there. It looked like he was out of there playing around or he had passed out. They weren't quite sure he was completely unresponsive. They had to go up and lower him slowly.

So they get him down, and this is all courtesy of Houston's Fox 26. They call paramedics. They show up paramedics and doctors gave him CPR for two hours. They just would not stop doing it for two hours. And then they said, he's gone. So it was two hours and the doctors said, He just is not going to make it. So they sat with their kid, the mom and the dad, and they were just saying their goodbyes. She started talking to him, telling him how much she loves them and sorry that they didn't know how to save him.

And then he started moving a little bit. Oh, my. Whoa. Okay. Don't give up on me, guys. Oh, yeah, don't know. Ever unplug me. I don't hear what's up.

Five hour CPR for you. Yeah, that's a long time. I mean, just switch it out. Just pay for somebody. If I got money in the bank, pay for rotation. Just keep going. Yeah, just the couple shout up for the medical team because they had not moved on but moved away so they could say their goodbyes at that point. And they came back and started giving aid.

And he went without oxygen. So they feared severe brain injury. Aside from some physical, he only had so far as experienced short-term memory loss. Wow. So the road to recovery still hasn't been easy. His legs are having strength problems. but that ain't nothing. He's alive.

Compared to him not being here, he's got some eschemic spine injury, but again, I'll say it. He's lucky to have it. Yeah. And I want to ask him, where did you go for two hours?

Yeah, what you see? Yeah. Yeah, the only thing that I think about when people say that, though, there are chemicals in the brain that are doing certain things. So I don't know if he actually went anywhere or if the chemical

which makes them feel certain ways. For example, Hey, we didn't ask you, man. When I have laughing gas, I go to a place. I don't really go. No, you did. Like, I have laughing gas, and it's the only time I've ever been like, ooh, you know, I don't drink.

I don't smoke. And so I love laughing gas. And if I have it, because I get, oh, I get really nervous, anxious. And so I need it to just get through it. But if I get that right, that's perfect. I don't even know what kind it is. The ones that Dennis have? I feel like I'm in space and like black space with stars.

And I'm like having conversations with myself. It's like, love is the only real thing, man. Dang, man. In your head or I'll laugh? I don't know. I hope it's just in my head. It's got to be in my head because my mouth like this.

Okay. So I think, but I was at a different place. I felt like I was not in space, but I wasn't not in space. Mm-hmm. So, but that's chemicals doing that to me. You're on a thing.

Laughing gas. I want to see what this guy. But chemicals in my brain are doing that. This guy was dead, dude. Yeah, for two hours. It's crazy. What if he like just went to Disney World? Okay.

That's all. Okay. That's cool, too. He wrote Space Mountain five times. Yeah, he's like, I finally rode the Matterhorn. Thank you, guys. That's Fox News with that story.

I just wanted to share those with you because they were so good. How was your weekend? It was really good. Relaxing, hikes, hanging out, lots of cleaning. I wanted a hike, too. Do you want to hike with my wife? Yes. I told her I.

She's tricking us all into hikes. We were? We just all put it together. One of the time, she's making us all go hiking with her. Yeah, I sure did. And I'm not a big hike guy, but we went on a hike. Well, when the weather's right, you got a hike. That's what I say.

Is that a rhyme? Kind of described. It's a aye, aye, aye, aye. All good, though. All right, news, let's go. Bobby's big. Stories. I saw the story about this guy through all this money on the highway.

I got a lot to say about it. Vehicles stopped on a bit. No, it's not. It's not awesome. Awesome. No, no. Vehicles stopped on a busy Oregon highway so drivers could get out and collect an estimated $200,000 thrown in.

out of another driver's window. Wow. The Oregon State Police and Colin Davis, McCarthy, 38. They said this, that he threw out the cash from his window on I-5 near Milamarker 192. He is not charged with any crime. Quote, he was doing well. I wanted to bless others with gifts of money.

The money is believed to have come from his family's shared bank account. I feel like he was just sticking it to his family. Like, he took it out without knowing and started throwing it out. Like, I'll show you from a shared account. Do they know about this? So he just started chunk in it. Now here's what I want to say. First of all, people could have died in a car wreck or like pulled over and they're out collecting the money and a car hits them.

Like this is not the way to give away $200,000. If you want to walk around a town and hand out money to people, I'd be a little suspect. I'll be like, what's happening here? But that's how you do it. Because I'm looking at all the cars pulled over and people running into the grass to get. There just could have been a lot of serious injuries and deaths. and luckily there wasn't. And then I wonder, you took it out of a shared account

and then just threw it out the window, that to me feels like something's up. Like maybe Uncle Mabel, Aunt Mabel, don't even know that the money's gone. I mean, what a feeling, though, to just be throwing money out the window. I wouldn't want to do that. I would want to actually walk around and hand it to people.

Be like, this is real, this is legitimate. I want you to have it for no reason at all because I've been blessed. Like that would be the feeling. I just chucked. Because some of the money, too, it may never be found. It can be lost in the mud. That's terrible.

That's a tragedy. That's a tragedy. The police had to put out a statement to tell people to stop going there to look for. Yeah, stop looking for the money. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Yes. Exactly. There's cars. People out there hunting. I'm on my way. Yes.

A sad story from the weekend. All these four people were killed and 20 more injured in a shooting at a sweet 16 party in Alabama. Four people were killed. 28 others were injured when gunfire broke out at the party. At least 15 teenagers were treated for gunshot wounds. Five were still in critical condition. Police haven't really. sending information about a suspect or motive

and they just kind of go through what happened. That's from UPI. Lunchbox, did you, because I heard motives but they weren't in this story. Have you heard anything about this? I am not, I did not, once I saw it, I was like, oh my gosh, I know one of the person killed was the brother of the girl having the birthday and I was just like, oh, but I didn't see

the motive. Then I won't share what I had read the motive was. Oh, yeah, I didn't see that either though. Yeah, that's why. Then I won't share. How did you get that fun online? There's so many stories. about it. Okay. Yeah. I mean, there were like five mass shootings over the weekend.

I know. Where multiple people were shot. And at multiple places. So a waitress is fired for mixing blood in the cocktails. Stop it. What? Like blood, blood? A waitress has been fired for allegedly using her own blood as a mixer and cocktails.

What on her? Management for the lounge. Which is basically called Problem Child Dark Cafe issued an apology. and they said it's basically job terrorism. They also let people know the bar was temporarily shut down in order to replace the contaminated glasses and trash bottles.

I would never go back to that place. Even though it's not the place's fault. Or they need to change the name of it. They didn't do something. I don't already consider a name change. Problem child, what was it? Dart Room. Problem child, dark cafe.

Yeah, man. Yeah, that's really, we need a rebrand. Yeah, bloodlound. Cases of people getting infected, from drinking another person's blood are rare, but major diseases can be transmitted through blood. And they list them all. That's from the New York Post. What a

weirdo. A guy won a raffle held by the company he works for. He became the envy of the entire company in, well, country or world because he won a year of paid leave in a company raffle. Oh, no way. Let's do it. What? So they finally

what? What company does that? They finally met. They had a big raffle. And when they met, they were apart for so long because of COVID. And they stayed, even though they could meet, they got the whole company back together the first time. And then there were prizes like consuming a special homemade drink with blood. Yeah. I was like what? No, she didn't work there. Acting as a waiter for their colleagues. So they were dumb, fun ones. And then there was 365 days of paid leave. It was a young manager, they say. They don't list the business here. Amazing. That would be great. Would you even go back?

You take your year and probably like six months into it, you start looking for another job that's even better. So you have six months to look while still living being free. That's why I do. I kind of hedge it. Yeah, see, I wouldn't. That ain't come in my mind. Or you could get a job for the 365 and make double.

You could definitely do that. I mean, I'd probably do that more so. But I'd want to find a great job. I'd take a little time off and then I'd start working on a great, finding a great job. And yeah, you could either double up, double dip, or hedge it to where. the last three months or so

you're working at the new place and you just took nine months off dang that's smart i'm sure there's some real like you can't work for a competitor that'd be weird that's from oddity central hire a hitman the fake website strikes again a tennessee man's facing federal charges for attempting to engage in a murder for higher scheme with an undercover fbi agent josiah ernesto garcia twenty one needed money to support his family he searched online for a job as a hitman

so this is different than someone going to the site and looking for a hitman, he's actually applying for a job. He wants to get some work as a hitman. He submitted an inquiry to the website to work as a hitman, and then they forward it to the FBI, which is what they do every time they get a message on this site. What can I say? I enjoy doing what I do.

So if I can find a job similar to it, such as this one, put me in coach. Hmm? He want to be a hitman. He enjoys doing that? Well, he's an Air National Guardsman. Oh, okay, I get that. It's from the New York Post. But as an Air National Guardsman, are you out killing?

But he said he's a marksman. Like, that's what he is. And he said that he prefers to travel for work. He said he will kill in his home state, but he would prefer to travel. What? And they didn't respond, so he kept sending follow-up email saying, hey, are we still doing this? Like, what's going on? Like, am I going to get an interview?

And he sent, like, his driver's license, all that to them. You know thorough. He really wanted it. They really were hiring. They'd probably give them a look. experts found that talking about sports can get you ahead at work and lead to you being more liked and promotions. Sports talk is very common in a baseline for most people that are familiar. They can relate, especially if your boss is a sports fan.

They say sports-related conversations between coworkers and clients can boost morale, and they have the ability to improve your mood with a more positive outlook at work. What are your thoughts when you hear that? Well, I guess I need to brush up on some sports. Well, when you were eight, you were a tennis champion. Tennis star. Yeah. 92 was my prime, so I was probably 11.

Okay. I'm sorry to insult you like that. You went far into that career. Yeah, but I played basketball, tennis, softball. And basketball, you were amidextrous. You were the free throw shooter. Well, basketball, free throws was, they were my specialty. And in softball, I get so confused with her stories.

They're all weird. Yeah, I was a switch hitter. But you said you were all-time free throw shooter. Yeah. That's not a position that's ever existed. Yeah, but you put me out at the Vanderbilt Court and I showed you. I did, how many did I have to hit? No, but I'm saying you said that they put you in just to shoot free throws, but that's not really how it works.

You know, memory's weird. Okay. It's a funny thing. That's from Social Issues Research Center. Be careful with allergy pills. If you turn to those over-the-counter allergy pills, or anihistamines to fight your allergies, they can actually make you fat. They say, according to the latest research, people taking allergy meds weighed more in the weeks that followed from taking it. scientists say that antihistamines increase your appetite,

put you on the path to weight gain. So at least you understand why if you're taking them, you're taking them, and then they're making you hungry as well. So that's what it is. I take that every day. What? Zyrtec.

Antihistamine. That's why, dude, that's why I've got a belly. You think you're every day? You think, but that's forever. I've been taking allergy pills for like 10 years. Every day. I think you're blaming. Right.

No, dude, it's never clicked until you just read that story right now. I'm like, that's why I have a belly. So then, um... But are you always hungry? I think pizza Fridays and pizza Mondays and pizza Wednesdays and pizza Thursdays. Well, no. What happens is pizza Fridays, but we get a large one and we have leftovers, so it's Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Yeah, I think that's part of it.

Could you not take antihistamines? No way, dude. Like, my allergies are so bad that if I don't take them, like, I'll have runny nose all day. I also wanted to talk about this story. Did you see the Walgreens story? where the woman went in and the guy who was working there had the gun. Oh, it was so.

On Thursday, there was a shooting involving a pregnant woman and a Walgreens employee. The family say she and her baby are both in stable condition. She had to have three surgeries after being shot eight times, four in the stomach, two in each leg. Crazy that the baby is fine, right? The baby's in the NICU

and only weighs two pounds, but on Thursday, she went in and she had to have an emergency C-section, but here's what happened. she went in apparently allegedly she was shoplifting the guy who worked there saw I had a gun on him

walked out to the parking lot she supposedly sprayed him with Mace because she was like why are you so close and then he shot her a bunch of times that's basically the story I can read through it

to make sure I'm not messing it out but I read it over the weekend a bunch that's from News Channel 5 but a Walgreens employee suspected two women were possibly stealing items the employee followed them outside of the car. The pregnant woman

sprayed mace at the employee who then shot at them with a semi-automatic pistol he was carrying thanks to Tennessee laws that now you can have it. The woman was forced to have a C-section. The baby and the mom are expected to survive. Okay.

Surely this wasn't part of his Lawgreens employee protocol. You don't even walk out and chase. I know. This is someone who worked in retail. There are specific people that are in charge of even saying something. But once they get out of the plate, you don't, it's not, you don't own the Walgreens. Yeah, I think he probably had a gun and was like, I feel safe going out.

I can go out and enforce. Yeah, no. Obviously, he's grabbing the gun that quick, too. Let him get away with whatever it took from. It doesn't matter. You're not the owner of the Walgreens. You're not the Walgreens, super enforcer. But even if you are nothing being taken from Walgreens is worth shooting over.

And it just says he thought she was stealing stuff. I don't even know that she for sure was. No proof of anything. Just his gut instinct or thought or maybe he saw something, but... Oh, gosh. That is a, yeah. That's a bad one, too. Oh, there were a bunch of shootings over the weekend.

There was another one in Louisville where people died. It's terrible. Another one on top of the bank? Yeah. There's another one. Yep. All right, that's the news. Thank you.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant, 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

You buying groceries? What happened? Okay, I'm in line. Two people ahead of me, three people behind me. And then all of a sudden there's this girl and she's sort of frantically looking for a short line that you can tell.

She's like, oh, shoot, I have to get out of here. She has one item. So the nice woman in front of me says, hey, you can come in front of me. And then the woman behind me is like, ugh. Like, it's so frustrated with the fact that the woman ahead of her let someone else in. And I thought, this is an interesting little predicament.

I don't really care. I'm not in a hurry. clearly one item girl's in a huge hurry. And it's only one item. That matters too. It's one item. If somebody with a full basket, it'd be different. Person in front of me, just feeling super kind, lets her in.

But who knows the three people behind me, they might be in a hurry. We don't know. And so I just thought, well, who's, who has the choice here? Who's in the, I don't know. Is the person the wrong for letting the one item girl in? I don't know. She did it, though. Girl behind me, not happy.

I think if you let a one item person in, that's okay, if they're quick. I do. I wouldn't let a whole basket person in because that's really going to slow everybody's progress. And you get in line for a reason. I hate waiting in a line. I hate when people cut in line. But she allowed someone to go in front of her because it seemed like, maybe she had to pee or poop. Oh, yeah.

That's a thing too. That did not cross my mind. If she's like super, like, oh, go. Then put the item down. go. No, I want to get out to the car. No, she should say like, I got a poop, let me through. No.

Even if she doesn't, that works. Okay. Exactly. Yeah, I'm okay with the one item person. And I don't make a habit of it. And I also don't. Or maybe I go, if it's me, I go, she only get one item. Do you guys mind if I let her cut?

Yeah, you got to get a vote. No, we ain't vote with everybody. Oh, no. This is not. This is not American. The polls. No. I'm just going to say it to the one person behind.

because I've been in places where their friends have let friends come up with like eight items at a clothing store and I'm like, we can't do this. But it's like somebody cutting at the airport. If they're like, I'm so sorry, I'm so late for this. I have no problem with letting them skirt on through. See, I did that one time and the person was like,

I'm cool with it, but you want to ask them? And I said, hey, everyone, they were like 10 people. Can I cut? I'm really late. And they were all like, yeah, sure, go ahead. So I went. But I got the blessing of everyone. You had to go to the pole. You just need like the first and the second person.

Okay. You need anybody that'll let you in, yeah. If she'd had more items, the person. I know. Somebody just likes to get irritated at stuff. Because I hate a line cutter, but if it's not, I don't hate a line cutter that has a good reason to line cut. You know, the person behind me out and be like, let's just breathe through this. What was her item?

I think we need to know what that is. Not an ideal. Eggs. Oh, eggs. Maybe there's like an omelet convention and she's late to it. Yeah, like, what's she in a hurry with eggs? I was thinking she had to be somewhere with. the eggs like at a restaurant do they need eggs and they sent her out to get them and

they i don't know there's a couple at a table like where our eggs i don't know i don't know i don't know i'm okay with it one item i wouldn't mind it if i were the person two people back that's how i'm looking at this i'm too back she's only got one item she's in a hurry sure go to go to town okay yeah i felt similar yeah i just didn't know how the people behind me should feel but we're similar people yeah i do have a deal here about lunchbox and lunchbox and luncheon Lunchbox's investments, because Amy gave him 30 bucks. I gave him 30 bucks. He has his own 30 bucks.

So we're like 90 bucks into this. And so this is Sam from Indianapolis who left us his voicemail. Just calling related to Lunchbox's investments. His Rolls-Royce stock that he bought is actually not for the cars. That's the engine company, Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce cars is owned by BMW. So if you want to get to owning that Rolls-Royce, it might want to sell that stock in the,

invested into the BMW stock. He's been talking about how he has stock in Rolls-Royce. Okay. The engine. Yeah, not the actual car. Also, Bobby, I don't, I hate to remind you of this, but technically we've each given him $61. Yeah, yeah.

We gave him more? Yeah, we're going to buy a full stock at WWE. I think he blocked it out. Yeah, because we didn't have. Why do I keep giving him more money? We didn't have enough buying power to get a whole stock of WWE. So we'd all ponied up $31 each to get full stock at WWE. Did you put another 31 into?

Absolutely. Okay, so how are we doing? Are there any issues? Are we making money? Well, here's the issue. I don't understand how, where the money went. Like, I deposited it, and it says my deposit went in. What do you mean where the money went?

What? Like, I put it in there, and so I go to buy a stock of WWE, and it's like, you don't have enough buying power. You only have $1.26. And I'm like, no, it says right here, my deposit for $93, $3, went through, and it's like, you don't have enough buying power. And I asked Morgan. I'm like, what?

And she's like, I don't know. I think it just takes a minute to basically post. No, no. It said it took five days to post. Like, it took five days to get deposited in there. And I kept waiting and waiting. And finally, it went through. And I go.

And I was like, all right, cool. Let me buy a stock. You don't have enough buying power. You only have $1.62 cents of buying power. No, because I just deposited $93. I have no idea. Why is it always something? It is so frustrating.

No, you're right. It is so frustrating. I've never heard of any time someone just like deposits 93 and suddenly it turns into one dollar. That's what I have? We did a whole business together where we bought shoes and all of a sudden they just disappeared and we had no money for them. I remember that. Yeah. I don't know.

I'll help you during the break. Yeah. Get up the app. Are you sure that money didn't get deposited into your lottery fund and you bought lottery tickets? Yeah, I promise. I keep those separate. Morgan did you try to help them? Yeah.

I did and the money did go in but it's like what I say money go by money gone sorry sorry yeah and so I it should be $93 in account but here's the other problem that WW stock it's up over $100 now we've been losing money we've been losing money because we came by it well we didn't lose the money we just didn't make our profit would be like yeah yeah but we didn't lose any money would it be 20% no we have lost money no we're you and I've all lost money hey we all lost money because we're a team, but it's like at $106 now.

When we tried to buy it, it was at 93. And I can't give you more because by the time I give you more to put in, the same thing's going to happen. And that's what I don't understand. How do I not have... I can't believe we gave it more money. Does the app have a $1,800 number, like, or customer care? How would I find that?

It's probably on the click on the very bottom. Yeah, because you need to know, like, I'm very curious where the money went. If somehow you lost it in the app because of something you clicked, then great. But it can't just, just, just, Poof disappear for no reason. I mean, I even had the email and it says that, oh, congratulations.

You're a posit. It went through. It's posted. I go and I only have $1.62 cents. I don't understand. Give it until tomorrow. I have faith. It'll post.

No, no, no. In the need. No, no. We believe in it. We believe in it. We believe in you. Make it happen. Okay.

Oh, man. But yeah, man, stock market is stressful over here. Oh, is it? Yeah. I mean, because you look at those numbers every 30 seconds, see how they're doing. Imagine that was your career. No way. There's no way.

Wall Street. Where are you going? I'm going. Let's see how it's doing today. Let's see. I'm good right now. Hold on. Hold on.

Let me see. No, hold on. Hold on. All right. Uh, we're down. 21 cents today. Oh, no. In South Carolina last Wednesday, picked three lotto with the numbers 1-1-1.

Oh, wow. So 1-1-1 is a big winner. They did it again on Thursday. The numbers were 2-2-2. Uh-oh. Oh, man. You know, everybody's picking 3-33. For sure.

And if it does come up, everybody's going to get like a nickel. and they split that thing up. So that's what's up. 1-1-1, 2-2-2. That's crazy. That's pretty cool. The 50-cent pick-3 ticket has a top prize of $250.

While a $1 ticket can earn up to $500, it's a bunch of people winning. You're not going to win a ton of money. You only win $500 for getting three numbers? That's what it says, a $1 ticket. That's crazy. There were more than $22,000 pick-three tickets. And maybe it's a $1,000.

because it was all split up. Yeah, I don't know. Because there's only a certain pool of money. So if you hit it, maybe that's why it was only 500 bucks because they had to split it up so many times. Dang, because I don't play pick three. I pay the big ball. Yeah, of course.

And you just show them, don't you? Yeah, I want the millions. You made a bunch of money, huh? I haven't. I haven't done that yet. A former meta employee. You know what meta is? Facebook.

Yeah. Instagram, Facebook, all that. Claims that she was paid $190,000 a year to do nothing. Dang, I need that. And somebody wrote, this is kind of lunchbox now that's not funny that's so stupid

how do you know it was him he loves in his own joke no I don't I'm so funny that was funny I don't know who said it I'm not gonna but they said this is kind of like lunchbox now

it is like you here's a clip of Madeline talking about what she did all day and how she was basically just doing nothing going to meetings so what do you do all day you're learning they have a really

amazing onboarding and training the best onboarding and training I've seen from any company ever The expectations when you start is really that you're just learning and taking it all in because you're drinking from a firehouse. But the most that we did, we had so many team meetings. Why are we meeting? We're not hiring nobody. None of us knew the answers to who would ask my boss. She'd be like, I don't know because she was new to.

I really missed it. So she did nothing except go to meetings and learn. Dang, why she quit? I don't know. Maybe they had to lay off much people because I saw that they were massive layoffs. And the first person that you layoffs, the person who doesn't do anything. Exactly. All right, we got to make some cuts here.

Who can we afford to lose? Well, we got this whole group of people. They don't even have a job. We just pay them. Yeah, I'm feeling that's where we go, Mark. So that's what's up. That is from Yahoo. That would be great, though, not to be challenging your job, just to be chilling.

That would be great. I have two spill the teas. I want to start, if you don't mind. Let's spill the tea. Abby, will you come up to the microphone, please? Abby is the jack of all trades. She produces segments. She answers phones.

She sings. Abby, would you like to spill the tea on someone? I would love to. Okay, go ahead. Okay, so last week on Thursday, Mike had a bunch of guests in for his podcast. And he can probably explain it better than me. But it was, what's her name? Broken Lizard.

And then, so they're the Stormtroopers. You want to call me, Mike? No, it's Super Troopers. He had Super Troopers then. Yeah, Super Troopers. There we go. And then Adrian Paliki. Yeah.

You know who that is, right? Yeah, she didn't have been in a bunch of stuff. Yeah. But I asked Mike and I was like, oh, yeah, she was in Friday night. So that's kind of how I recognize her. So I was helping him, like, get people out, get them out. And I had to go back to my desk real quick. I was going back out.

And I heard lunchbox in the hallway. He yelled, hey, where's Riggins? From Friday Night Lights. Yes. Yeah. And so did she answer? What did she do? I'm like.

Was that funny? Is that funny? I don't know. Well, no, no. Here, I walk out. And I see her. And I'm like, oh my gosh. And I don't know her real name.

Like, I just know her from Friday Night Lights. Tyra. And so I just see her and I instantly just like, I don't know what to say to her so I just say, hey, how's Riggins? And she just goes, he's fine. So Riggins was another character. That was her boyfriend. He's a hot guy. They were dating

in the Friday Night Lights. And so I just said it and I thought, hey man, kind of funny. How did it work out for you? Nothing really. No, that was the most like cringe-worthy thing ever. So you couldn't have said, hey, big fan. I'm lunchbox. I didn't know her name. I didn't know.

You didn't have to say that. at there. Hey, I'm, hey, big fan. I'm lunchbox. I could have said that, but I just went with Riggins, man. How's Riggins? Because, you know, like, you know, like, oh, I get it. You keep in touch and she's just like, huh, it's fine.

Is that not awkward? Why does he not know how to act around celebrities? Like, he doesn't. Well, here's the thing. And they're in here all the time. I literally just walked out of a room. What about Emmett Smith? Oh, man, we don't want to talk about that.

What happened? Why not? He just ignored me, man. Did you, like, talk to him like a normal human? No, he yelled, yell out of him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all, y'all. Yeah, you were like in a, I don't know, like in a huge space probably with like, like, just hundreds of feet of, no, it was just like me and, like him and a couple other people.

Like, it was like small, intimate setting. Yeah, like a hallway or something. Yeah, like a walkway. Yeah, and then what did you just yell? Hey, man, and I asked him, where a Super Bowl ring? He's like, where did you Super Bowl ring? Oh, my goodness. You didn't want to be like, hey, man, really good to meet you, big fan.

I just, sometimes I just want them to feel my excitement. Like when I see celebrities, I want them to know that I'm excited to see them. That's what I did with her. And what's her name? Adrienne. Adrian? I just, I didn't know her name. And I just, man, how's Riggins?

And the other guys that were with her, I recognized the one dark-haired guy, but I, man, don't know his name either. So I couldn't even do anything with him. But she kind of got a chuckle, though, like, he's fine. Do you think, I don't know? And I don't know really who Riggins is. Oh, man. Come on. He was the problem.

Who else have you yelled at? Oh, I've yelled at a lot. Gwen Stefani. They wouldn't let him touch her. I went chasing. I was at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. I was checking in, and she came out of the elevator bank, and I left the check-in desk with my suitcases,

chased her through the lobby to the front doors. I was like, Gwen, Gwen, Big fan, can I get a picture? And she turns around, sure. And I go to put my arm around her, and she goes, no touching. So I did the two thumbs up. But don't you think you yelling? running like that scares somebody a little bit

yeah but she's Gwen Stefani she's used to it I think if you'd have said hey Gwen hey I'm big fan Do you mind if I get a picture? Hey Gwen She ain't gonna hear me And she's gonna keep going

No but you go too If you say it She has security She's got bodyguards You can even say to the bodyguards Or anybody Hey Gwen do you mind if I get a picture I'm big fan

That's so different than screaming Gwen Running with a suitcase behind I did have a suitcase backpack on It was awesome We could do this. He's got like 10 of these stories. Lots of these stories.

I don't understand why celebrities won't talk with me. Johnny bananas at the bar? Oh man. Then you wanted to be his best friend. I wanted to be his best friend. And then I got told him back to off. Did you yell at Hallie Berry at a basketball game?

Hallie Barry was at a concert in Las Vegas. Okay, that was a concert. Did you yell at her? Yeah. Who was the basketball game? Hold on, hold on. Did you yell at Hallie Berry? I was like, Hallie, Hallie, Hallie.

And I was like, let me. Let me get a pig! You're so beautiful! And she's got to live to me. I'm surprised she wasn't all over that. And she was in a special section, and she started backing away. So I just stood right here and took a picture with her in the background. Did she know?

No, I think she was kind of looking at me like, okay. LeBron James at the club in Vegas, and I tried to get a picture with him. And the bodyguard goes, no. And so I took a picture with him in the background, and they told me you do that again. You're going to get kicked out. And I was like, okay, my bad. My bad. Cool.

Your rate is so low, I guess. It never actually works out, so why not change your style? I don't know. I did Ashley Judd at a Kentucky basketball game. That's it. Yeah, she was sitting there watching the Kentucky basketball game, and I went down, and I was like, Ashley, Ashley, you? Why not I go all the way down, like to her?

No, I did. I went to her row. But she was like, well, she was four seats in. You were yelling four seats away? It's not that far. Yeah. That's for me to you. Watch.

Hey, man, you good? Can I get a picture? Hold on. But you're not having other fans in between. us drinking their beers and you know what I mean drinking beer ain't that loud okay go ahead and I said Ashley Ashley Judd big fan

Can I snap a pick? Why would you yell Judd though? Because she knows who she is And she probably doesn't want you yelling it so everybody around knows it's her oh well I don't know okay because she's known to be a big Kentucky basketball fan and this is back when Tubby Smith was head coach and his son was

Saul Smith and he was sitting next room and she goes She's watching the game I'm like Who are you? You don't need to speak for her You said that? Did you say that? I said. Did you say what you just said you said? I said, it's halftime.

You really got him, buddy. Wow, wow. How's it? Half time is very different from who are you. You got no pick. Got no pick. You didn't do one of those where you get over your shoulder. And that was back in the day with disposable cameras.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Do you yell at Warren Sapp or just go up to him? I just went up to him. He just totally ignored. I absolutely ignore. Just walked right by me.

Chris Berman. Same thing. Just kept walking by. Did you yell at them? No. Why'd you have to think about it? No, no, no. I went up to what?

Warren Sap go, I went on to say, hey, man, we're up here. Bibonez, Andy Roddy, they're doing the sports show up there. We're wondering if you can interview you. No. Okay, cool. That's cool. And you promise you talk to that normal voice? No, no, I probably yelled.

Yeah, okay, he's making sure. But he was in the lobby of the hotel. There was a lot of hustle and bustling. A lot of yelling. And Chris Berman was waiting for the elevator. And I went, Chris Berman, Chris Berman, dude. Rumbling, stumbling, stumbling. Oh, you started doing him, but pushing him.

That's what he does. I said, hey, man, you want to come up and be on Bobby Bones and Andy Rodney's sports show? This is normally going to. You scared him, though? I don't know. Yeah, he was kind of grumpy dude. He got on the elevator. It did.

It did. It did. It did he? I did he. Oh, and I heard. I heard. Everybody told me, security told me, back up, back up. He didn't want anybody in the hallway.

Get away, get away. And everybody's backing up. And who went through? Me. Ditty! And he looks at me. He goes, you give him. Love.

Love! Love! And he came up and gave me dapped. There were cameras on him. He loved it. Lobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story up the day. This story comes to us from Pennsylvania. It was around 5 a.m. when two guys are in the front yard playing a game of Monopoly,

they got a little loud and they woke up the neighbor. Well, the neighbor comes out and wants them to end the Monopoly game. And they're like, no, we got to finish the game. So he goes back in and gets his samurai sword to confront the Monopoly players. And one guy grabbed him. it cuts his hand. Oh, he grabs the sword. Yeah, I can't do that. But he got the sword, but then the neighbor wanted it back,

grabbed it, and he got cut. And so they both ended up in the hospital. I'm assuming that a 5 a.m. Monopoly game didn't start at 4 a.m. It must have started late at night, and they probably have had some to drink. And then secondly, those Monopoly games do take a long time. Forever. And you don't want some... You don't have to end it because someone

is complaining. You know, you're invested into that thing. And then you can start selling your properties back. And then why are you in the yard? Why do you move the Monopoly game to the yard? Why don't you just do that in the kitchen? Yeah, maybe they want to like sit on the back porch, though. It was a nice night. Have 10 beers.

Morning. That's what it feels like. And then the neighbor with the samurai sword gets into it. Okay. On Lunchbox, that's your bonehead story of the day. Time for the good news countdown. It's the good news countdown. News stories across the lab.

Let's go with number three. Number three. A barbershop owner in Cincinnati named Vernon is in the news because he still goes into work on his days off and he does free haircuts for kids with special needs and what he does and why it's his day off is no one else is allowed in the store because some of them there are sensory struggles

noise. That makes sense. Light sometimes. That's cool he thought of that. So there are no other workers there. It's just him, the parent, and the kid and they get his full attention. Also, he can be nervous around other people. So he does this.

He's been doing it for a few years now and donations from people, in the community make it happen so he just goes in shows up and helps these kids when they need it they go vernon it's pretty cool i like the name vernon i do too that's why i said it yeah i didn't know i liked it until you said it like that no no well know what i mean vernon vernon ernest p world used to say that about us we used to be called burn was that his full name burns no burning ernest p world right right no what i mean verne no who was verne us his friend he called us Vern?

I never understood that far. But people would always say, know what I mean, Vern? Oh, it's from that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Vernon Davis. Played football. Oh, yeah, yeah, 49ers. All right, moving on to number two. Number two. A dad in Northern Canada found out his 16-year-old son, he did a kidney transplant, so he lost 79 pounds so he could be the donor. He was at 274. He had to get under 200. He's now around 195. He got approved last month.

Number one. A woman of Florida spent her life savings to help her daughter beat cancer. Then she gets a lottery for $2 million. She won the day after her daughter finished her last treatment for breast cancer. Vern, how's the good one was it? No, remember. That was it. That was the Good News Countdown.

Movie Mike's got a new episode up. And, hey, Mike, I want to ask you something here because I was starting. talking to Eddie the other day and he said, Mike's in the studio with like 40 dudes. Who were those dudes? All the guys from Super Troopers. Now, I never saw Super Troopers. Was it good? Yeah.

Are you looking at me like I'm dumb? It's a cult classic from back. It seems like right up your alley. Well, I know. And that's why I said it because Eddie started quoting the movie where we were. And he was like, blah, blah, blah. I've never seen Super Troopers. As big of a fan of office space that you are, I feel like you would love Super Troopers.

So you had all the old original actors? Yeah, they wrote and directed that movie. Got it. So they have a new movie coming out? Yeah, called Quasi on Hulu this Thursday. So they came in and I have a clip here. One of the guys, Jay, talked about how his uncle won the lottery twice and then used the money to help them fund their first movie. Yeah, like a very independent movie called Puddle Cruiser. Okay, here we go.

My uncle won the lottery twice. What? He won a million and a half once. He kept playing the same numbers for years. And then he played the same number and won 50,000 more. And his name was money. M-A-N-I. He invested in our first film. Bought himself a Corvette.
