I. All I have is B. Amy's aggressive this morning. Yeah, because this is... I just got my... You said it was a three-letter word, not a three-word. I was trying to go. That's where you said pumpkin seed.

Yeah, I was going with three-length words. Okay, here we go. We're all back in? No. It's sudden death one... One buzz in with your name. Okay. What animal can jump higher than a building?

Amy. Amy. All animals. Eddie. Buildings can't jump. Correct. Oh, no. That was like an hour.

Correct, winner. No, I mean. All animals because buildings can't jump. Winner. Yeah. Oh, Bobby Bones. I heard you talking recently about secrets, husbands, keep from wives and vice versa. I wanted to get some advice from you base.

on that, but a situation that I have with my boyfriend. We've been together for over two years. We were recently talking about going to Florida on vacation, and he was showing me pictures on his phone of some previous trips and things he enjoyed doing. Many of the picks had exes in him. I told him I thought it wasn't right that he had picks of his exes, but he pushed back saying that's part of his pass

and he doesn't want to delete them. He says he's in love with me, and he wouldn't care if had picks of my exes. Should he delete them if that's what I want? Should I consider it a red flag that he's refusing? signed the current and therefore best girlfriend. Well, you both can be right because I don't think there is a wrong answer here. It's just, isn't worth the fight.

And that's really what this boils down to. I don't have any pictures of any exes on anything anymore because my wife never asked me not to have them. Not on a hard drive. What? No. Why would I save anything? Wow. What?

I meant like that you had not purposefully, but you backed up your computer or photos at some point. Never. Okay. That was weird. That was weird. I just was like, you know, it's not even worth it. I don't even want the chance like to make my fiancee or girlfriend. Not really girlfriend, but fiancee for sure.

And then wife uncomfortable. So to me it was more of a respect toward her thing because she never said you need to take every ex off everything you've ever done. If she said that, I might be like, well, that's a little bizarre. Like if she like demanded universally, I remove every. But I think it's, if he said it like that, how did he say this? It's part of my past. He said it's part. It is.

Yeah, but once he's making a documentary? Yeah, why is he keeping it? Exactly. Is he doing a history book? Right. And who's he going to give that to? If you ask him, I think he should take him off. I really do.

I think if you say, hey, it makes me uncomfortable. You have all these pictures on your phone of you and an X. But it's how you say it, though, because if you said it to me really aggressively, then that would be a red flag on you. Like, if you demanded it, I remove every picture of mine, my ex, I'll be like, whoa, what is happening here? Like, why are you being so demanding and aggressive? So very much it's tone and language with the situation I feel. But I think it's fair that if you go, hey, it makes me uncomfortable. We have pictures of your ex on your phone. Even if I feel

like you're being ridiculous, I think he should respect that and take him off his phone. So I'm going to go, you need to treat that very delicately, but just ask. And how he answers, I would be a little judgmental on if he was like, no way. Why is he keeping those around? That's my thought. I think if you ask, you should remove them. Yeah, that's hard. I've never asked, so I just doesn't bother me. It does not bother me either.

It doesn't bother me. But obviously it does bother her, which is why I say that, because it's hard for me to come from that place because it doesn't bother me. Yeah, I have a hard time trying to get myself there because I'm like, okay, yeah, it's part of his past. I think if any person asks respectfully, I think you should meet that. Yeah, I agree with you though. As long as it's someone like you're about to spend the rest of your life with them. Not somebody you've been with for two weeks.

Right. I'd be like, okay. And you can even do like Amy, save him on a hard drive. If like you're in hide that hard drive somewhere. No. But I would. Not what I mean. Ask him respectfully.

But if he meets you aggressively, there's something up there too. But then also I think it's important. We could ask her if we have that desire. We can ask yourself the question. Okay. She can. If you're listening, ask yourself like why does it bother you? Like why am I so insecure about photos of his ex from a long time ago?

Yeah. There's just all therapy stuff. That's what we say. Screw all this. Go to therapy. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much.

I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Gillespie and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown.

and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck.

and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent.

He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win.

Yes, I do. Okay, me too. Genesis is in, but Phil Collins is not by himself, and I think that's an easy one, right? He dominated radio in the, what, the 80s, yeah. Phil Collins, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Yeah, he should be. I'm surprised he's not by himself. Me too, yeah. What about Fish?

So Fish, no hits, but for 40 years, they've been touring to 30,000 people. That works, you know, under Jam Band. It's Rock and Roll? Eddie said no. Eddie said no. Eddie said no. I said no, Ronnie, because I feel like the same 35,000 people. people that go to one show, go to all of them. Well, it could be like the Grateful Dead did. Right.

You got your little cult that follows you around. Yeah. They're all here. But for that long, 40 years of 30,000 people a night, that's, and I can't name a single fish song. No, same here. Can you, can you name a song? No, I can't even spell fish.

Exactly. They spell it funky. I can. The H-Y-S-A-S-A-S. Yeah. I can name like two Grateful Dead songs. Like Casey Jones. Okay.

Okay. So my son-in-law is just an Auburn grad. I say that because they're like an intellectual school. Is that right in a way? Do you say anti-intellectual? No. No. And intellectual.

Oh, un-in intellectual. Go ahead. Could be in his case. Okay. So he's just like been taken off and doing these Grateful Dead things with all this, his frat buddies. Like Dad and Company. I don't know, I don't know a Grateful Dead song. Mayor plays and dead in company. He does now. Yeah. Yeah. That makes a little better. How do you two know each other?

God. How far does that go back? Johnny, uh, Johnny, he said Johnny Cash, uh, orphan. Yes. Like, you and John were, you knew each other. We were close, Ira? What, Big John? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I stayed at that house. So, this is what you two have in common. And I didn't know this about you, Ira, until recently, but Ronnie, you lived on Johnny Cash's property. Yeah.

And Ira, so how did you and Big Johnny's son become friends? At a club called the Bell Cove Club. I was playing for like 30 bucks a night and all the beer I could drink, which was awesome. I was underage. And we became friends there. I was getting ready to move back home to North Carolina because I couldn't cut it.

And I went over for lunch, and June said I was a stray dog they fed that wouldn't leave. And I stayed there. I stayed there. I stayed the house in the mountain, Bon Aqua, the house in Tampa. And I go spend Christmases with them in Jamaica. And they just kept going. And then finally they gave me the duplex behind House of Cash Museum that was on like 16 acres. What do you mean they gave you? They just let you live there? Yeah. Man, that would be awesome.

That's what they did with us. Yeah. Yeah, because you guys just lived on the property too, right, Ron? She said $600 a month. And from the day we got there, she never took the rent. I'd take it to her and she wouldn't take it. both of you guys stray dogs is that wet yeah feels like they took care of both of you guys

yeah well you definitely were oh god yeah what was Johnny like for you Ira man for me he was he was just when he said something

you better listen he didn't talk a lot but he was a I mean when he said something it was deep but I just miss a sense of humor he's the funniest dude uh

they didn't capture that in the movie but he's funnier than hell man he was great How, how, I question for both of you, since you brought it up, that movie walked a line, how accurate do you feel like it was from what you know of him and them? You want to go first? Broadstroke, broad stroke, it was good. That's as much as you can cram into, what, an hour and a half or two-hour movie,

or however long it was. That's, that was good. You always look at movies like that, and they go, the casting, I don't know. But they did a good job with it. Yeah, I think they took some liberties to make it. a little bit more dramatic, but I didn't know John back then. I don't know if it'd be more dramatic. Yeah, I didn't know John back then, so I don't know.

I met him in 1990. Who would play you, Ronnie? Let's say they did a movie in five years on Brooks and Dunn. Who would you like to play you? Gosseling, Ryan Gosling? Oh, of course. That would be good. My generation would go to Clinties, but sure.

No, I don't know. Seriously. Don't even thought about that. Like, did you have abs? Did you have abs? Did you have abs? Did you have abs? Like, abs? abs? Yeah. No. No? No. No, I was skinny rail. When I got to college, I was six foot three and a half and weighed 145 pounds. No way. Yeah, I swear to God, I would wear cutoffs under my jeans to keep them up.

So you wear shorts under your pants to keep your pants up because you couldn't find pants small enough, like adult pants. Cutoffs. Yeah, jean cutoffs. Dang, that's crazy. It gets psychotic. Let's talk about you guys working together here. Because it's you, this is Ronnie with Vince and John Osborne and I. Ira, who's here, this group of folks, who I like all four of them. Brick Mason? Yeah. So what's up with this collaboration here? Why everybody on this specific song?

I just always had a dream of recording with these guys. I mean, I remember when brand new man came out in 91. I was driving a Chivet with no floorboard living at Johns. So do you reach out to Ronnie and just go, hey, Ronnie. Who do you call first, Ira? I called, I think it was Ronnie first. No, I think you called me last. then it was probably Vince first

because growing up... They all got together and cut the tracks with Rentsons so they set the Guinness Book of World Records for the amount of notes that a guitar player

can put in a three-minute song. Oh, I thought you were going to say most people on a song. I was going to be like, that's also... Yeah. That's one too. Yeah.

Are you serious about the Guinness record? No. No. Oh, God. But John, I believe, that was a possible thing. I don't think we can count them. Yeah, there's a lot of notes

and a lot of words. So... So did you write the song? No. Tony Mullins and Jeffrey Steele wrote it. And so what about this song then? I always had a dream. I watched a Travel and Wilburys documentary.

And nobody's ever done that country music. There's a lot of vocal collaborations. There's not a lot of play. And I always wanted to do it. And plus I'm just a huge fan. You know, it's Ronnie freaking done. That's how I feel too. It's how I feel about me mostly.

It's super cool because you're Bobby Frickin' Bones. And I'm like, Ronnie, relax. Yeah. Same point. What's that name you were going to call it the other day? Instead of traveling Wilburys? Traveling Wilburys? Traveling Wilburys, by the way, for our listeners, it's like Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison,

Harrison, Tom Petty, yeah. And then there was... Klein. No, didn't it was... Jeff. Yeah, from ELO. Jeff. Jeff.

Jeff Lynn. Jeff Lynn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I feel like he gets left out. Well, he gets left out, but you see when all these things happen, like we call. Or I mean, they put like a little European super band. And a few of Americans involved every now and then, like Petty.

But no, he's like a brainiac with production. Yeah, yeah. And all that. Ira, what's, so when did you move to town and when did Trick Pony become a thing? I moved to town in 1990. And then Trick Pony, I got fired from Tanya the third time in three years. I played bass for her. and that was 96. Trick Pony formed in 96.

Then we got our deal in 2000. When you were playing with her, why were you getting fired over and over again? Why would she keep rehiring you? I was a train wreck. I had a, you know, you're in your 21 and you're rocking out or 25 or whatever I was. And that was my first, like, real gig.

And I just had a blast. And so, yeah, I sold her limo in L.A. And stuff like that. You stole her limo? Were you sober? No, far from it back in the day. Were you driving her limo? No, no.

I walked out to the limo driver because I know it was fully stocked and the bars were closed. And so I said, hey, Tanya said, I can take this for a spin. And he's like, okay. So I jumped in the back and picked up a bunch of friends

and we partied all night and then I missed my flight out. And then the bandleader fired me and then she hired me back laughing. She thought it was great. And then gave me a raise. So it was a great gig. I had a blast.

What about the second time you got fired? The limo thing was the last time. I can't remember the other two. So was the formation of Trick Pony because Tanya wouldn't hire you a fourth time? No, no. I called Keith Burns from Trick Pony. He was with Joe Diffy. I was with Tanya.

And he approached me about six months before my last firing. And he came at me and goes, I got this idea. There was no trios at the time. This was before the Dixie Chicks. He goes, you know, and I've always just like hugging. bear back in the day. And so he goes, you dress like you and I, and he was a cowboy looking guy. And he goes, we find a chick singer. And what do you think? And I said, it sounds like the village people. And I turned them down. I was like, you know, that's, it sounds like we need a Indian and a

tele, a TV repair. Yeah, the whole thing. And then I got fired and I called him up and said, hey, you're still looking for a singing bass player? He's like, yeah. And how long until you guys got any sort of traction? Like three years. So you guys went pretty hard for Yeah, yeah, we went back 1999. We did 323 shows. Did you do some gigs with us? Yeah. Yeah, when I was with Tanya, we opened up for you guys. And then, but, and then Trick Pony did some, we were on the Brooks and Dunn Tour in 2003. That's right. We're all together, weren't we? Yeah. Do you remember that, Ronnie?

Yeah, when I see the picture, I do. It was, what, us, you guys, Dwight Yoakum, Gary Allen, Chris Cagle. Chris Cagle. That was it. Wow. Yeah, wow. How's Chris Cagle? I haven't seen him since then. So, who knows?

He's doing okay. There's always some, everybody always has a pretty interesting take on Chris Cagle, and they always have a decent Cagle story. Do you guys have any stories you like to share? No. None? Okay. All right, good. We ain't going there. Good deal.

All right. That's fair enough. Yeah. I want to play a little bit of Teleman. Ramundo, would you mind hit that for me? So I wrote with Vince and John Osborne, two prolific guitar players. How do you decide who plays what? That was all up to them.

I was just like, here's the song. Everybody played, and they all played from start to finish, and then producer Noah Gordon had fun quilting that together. So, yeah. How much are you writing now, Ira? All the time, all the time. Me and Ronnie have been camped up for a year and a half, two years. Yeah.

Camped up. Feels romantic. Yeah, it is. Out there in White Bluff. A blanket, a fire. I've got a farm outside of town. Ask me what we raise. What do you raise?

Kane. Okay. Okay. So, we get out. If I had a snare out, I'd hit it. If I had a snare out, I'd hit it. Try the soup. Yeah, go.

You know, one of the earliest things I'd buy a piece of bias I got was like, don't try to be funny, especially around a comedian. Anyway, that's what we raised. Rorra somebody's perfect. Anyway, we go out to the farm every time we're open and free, and for the last, what, month or so, it's been me, Aura, and David Lee Murphy. And we sit around and just have a blast. You know, it's private. We're in the middle of it.

of nowhere. Do you just write? Yeah. Do you have a studio out there that you could, if you're so inspired, you could record something? We're sitting under our phones. Yeah. And then we'll take it to the studio, if it's worthy. And Ira, what's your goal with the song? I just wanted to let everybody know I'm not dead.

That's it. Yeah, I feel the same way. Yeah, just I'm here. I'm still around. So I guess, is there a full record? Yeah, there's a full album? Is it next year that's going to come out? Yeah, yeah, full album.

So I guess my question. My purpose of that question is, it's like Ira Dean, is this a thing now? Are you going to be? Yeah, it's always been a thing. It's just nobody's heard of me. I thought you were dead. I thought you were dead. I did too. Trust me.

I ask him the same question. What are you doing this for, man? You're killing it as a song writer out there. It's got the same answer. It's got a full album that comes out. It's got, of course, Ronnie and Vince and John Osborne, Gary Allen, Uncle Cracker, Ted Nugent, Steve Ferroni from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Flew in from L.A. to play drums on it.

It's just all of the people that have been really lucky to be in town so long and right with and all the cats that I respect and always wanted to make a record with, you know, and called them up and said, hey, I'm calling in a favor. You've worked with, in country music, really prolific artists. Some are still with us, some obviously aren't.

But if I give you a few names, could you give me a story? I read just a little antidote about one of them. Yeah, if it's not dirty. Chris Cagle. I'm kidding. How about Hank Jr.? Hank Jr. Yeah, I played on the Al Mirr Club album of his, played upright bass.

Let me think of a good story. They're all crazy. He came in. He's the craziest interview we've ever had on the show. He left. He came in and he was so upset. We wouldn't let him smoke a cigar. And I love Hank Jr. I never actually spent any time with him. But he came in and he's very aggressive.

But he wouldn't answer a question. I was like, you have to answer a question. You think he's going to jump up and, like, fight you or something? Yeah, and he finally was just like, do we play the song or not? And then it was awesome. Like, it was the exact experience I wanted. And it's on YouTube now. I saw it. It's amazing, right?

Isn't it the greatest? Like, as far as experiences go, it was a real experience. How to create tension in the room, right? Wasn't he, like, supposed to play? Yeah. Yeah. And he was like, what do you want for me? Right.

But we wouldn't let him smoke inside. You can't. Yeah. Did one with kicks. His little deal. And, like, he was firing it up, just smoking. He's clouding the room up, you know, just going at it. And he was on, he's on a tear that day.

He could tell when he's like, really, really going to come back. Yeah, we had that. He did not want to be there. We had that. Yeah, he wanted to be fishing or hunting or whatever. What about? Still, he's still growing up, he was still a hero. I loved his music.

On this album, I wrote a song about Hank because I spent a day, day drinking with him, and then all my, and then, yeah, the next morning, I had like a three-day hangover. So we wrote this song called On Scale 1 to Hank Because he showed me, yeah, I thought I was a drinker until I met him And then, so we always say how hammered was I last night On a scale of one to Hank What about somebody like Darius? Man, Darius, the biggest Frank Sinatra fan ever.

He can, we recorded together And then we went to this little piano bar And had a few adult beverages And he ended up doing like two hours of nothing but Sinatra music With the piano player I never like obscure Sinatra. Wow. Willie? Yeah. We recorded Grammy Night on the way there.

Like the producer call and goes, hey, how close are you to an upright base? And I was like, I'm looking at one right now. Why? He goes, Willie Nelson's in the driveway and he says he's supposed to record with Trick Pony. No notice, no nothing. So on the way there, I got a speeding ticket for 67 and a 45. And then we got on his bus. And when you're with Willie, you got to smoke Willie. And so on the way home, I couldn't get my car over 37 miles an hour, got pulled over again. So you got the opposite?

Yeah, I couldn't get up to 45. Why couldn't? I was baked. Like you couldn't get your foot. Like your foot wouldn't go. No, I would like, look, I'd put my blinker on and try to switch lanes. And I look over my shoulder. And I like, okay.

And by the time I got my head forward, I was like, is there cars coming or not? So I just kept doing that. And I had my blinker on for a long time. And, yeah. Blake Shelton. Last one. Blake Shelton. I love him to death, man.

we used to be hunting buddies. So we kind of were on Warner Brothers at the same time. I remember his first number one. I took him out and we had a great time. He's a great guy, man. Okay, Ira, really great to see you. Good to see you. Like, big fan of you as a rider.

Obviously, Trick Pony has been a while since I was like, listen to death. Poor me, pull me. That's back in the day. You can go to Walmart and get a bargain bin taping right now if you want to refresh it. That's hilarious. I mean. You look in the dollar-nine bargain bill. Oh, yeah.

It's you and the, I'm pretty sure blank CDs are cheaper, are more expensive than a trick pony CD. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. You still get checks for those songs? Oh, God, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. That's awesome.

Beets wearing a hairnet. It does. Do you want fries with that? Yeah, but you're also like a really great writer. It's not like you haven't been working and being really successful. That's a surprising thing, too. I mean, for years. How many Montgomery Gentry has did you write?

I had seven or eight on Montgomery Gentry, and then Eddie's solo record. I wrote eight of the 12, I think. And that's not count other artists. No, that's not. What's your most profitable song that you didn't record, that you wrote, only wrote? That only wrote? Only because I own the publishing. We probably won one in every crowd, Montgomery Gentry, because I own the publishing on that.

I didn't have a writer's deal at the time. Okay, what about a song that is like you run a publishing deal? It's just made you a bunch of money. Oh, gosh. I mean, I have to look at my statements, but, I mean, I have to look at my statements, but, I mean, I mean, they all kind of pay. Guess it? Guess it? Biggest hit. Biggest hit? I don't know. I really don't know. Typical ADHD writer. I don't know. On to the next thing. Right now. They're all my favorites. They're all my babies. They all wear helmets. I mean, they're all good. All right. So, the new song is out from Ira, uh, teleman with Ronnie and Vince Gill and John Osborne and Brent Mason. Ira, good to see you. Man, good to see you too. Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for having me. Ronnie, always a pleasure. Yeah. Good to see you guys. Thank you guys for coming in. Nice.

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in someone, correct? I doctored the test once. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfect.

Tell me something good. All right, so picture it. You're at a convenience store in Douglasville, George. Georgia. Casey Marlow is in line. He forgets his wallet and he's like, oh, I'm going to run out to my truck and get it. Well, the guy behind Casey is this guy, Mario. And Mario is like, hey, I'm going to go ahead and pay for this guy's drink, call it even. When Casey comes back in, he realizes what Mario has done, strikes up a conversation with him, and learns that Mario and his family have been living in a motel because they got evicted. So he's going through his own struggles and yet pays for

Casey's drink and Casey has the money. So Casey was inspired to share the story online and decided to set up like a crowdfunding thing in 24 hours $35,000 was raised in the community for Mario and his family to get back on their feet. Isn't that the craziest thing ever just like that one interaction in line at the convenience store? And it all started with Mario doing an act of kindness. Right when he didn't even have the money to spare. That's crazy. That's cool. And the fact that raised so much. Yeah. Yeah. In 24 hours. Why'd you say it like that? That's unreal. I'm just like, Yeah, you know, I'm mine's one too.

Yeah. I felt like he was trying to think of a way to like scheme money out of people. And I like what Casey said, you know, after it hit the news, he said, look, I was just the messenger. All I did was ask for help for Mario because I knew I couldn't do it alone. And he didn't. The community came together and stepped up. It was really cool.

That's great. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. How long can you leave pizza out? Amy, you go first. You have pizza. It's on the counter. How long can you live?

leave it out before you're like, oh, we left it out too long, we can't eat it? Because I have science that's going to tell you the real answer. Uh, five hours. Wow. I would have said like one hour. Oh, you guys are crazy. One hour. That's it. Yeah, because I'd have felt like bugs and time and inflation. I'm sure it is less than five hours. But I mean, I've eaten pizza that's been left out overnight. So I would have said one. You said five, Eddie? Overnight. Overnight. I would say 12 hours. Wow. Wow. 12 hours. hours, it's still good. So just sitting on the counter. Yeah. No meat, no meat, though. No, this is, most pizza has meat on it. So there's meat and cheese and bread. And you're saying 12 hours.

Yeah. You would still just grab and eat it. I do it all the time. Lunchbox? Two hours. Yeah, I would have thought it would have been much shorter. So a new study shows, and I'm going to let food safety expert, Dr. Teresa Bergholz, break down the results. Here we go. We found about 2,600 cells per gram of pizza, fairly low level of my microbes were present on that pizza. Things like fresh produce and fresh fruits can have anywhere from a thousand to maybe 10,000 cells per gram on them. So what we see here is that even if we had it sit out for six hours, that still seems to be relatively low risk. Six hours is where she says that goes from low to more. So you can leave your pizza out six hours. Wow. That's awesome. I win. Are you gaming here? Yeah, I said five hours. I thought we're doing like a fun discussion.

I got the closest without going over. Oh, and we're doing prices. rules which you just kind of made up there. I would never leave anything out for six hours in the needy. Really? I mean, like an apple that's still in its thing because it just stays in a bowl. But like food that's already been heated with combined elements, I don't think I would leave it out that long

in need it. Wow. The only thing we should not do that with, for sure, for sure, is rice. I would have guessed milk. Yeah, why rice is supposed to be? You can't do that. Apparently, it's... What about milk? Very dangerous. Well, milk is probably, it gets warm, man, that's bad. That's what I'm saying. Like, don't leave milk that's the bad hours as well. I'm more concerned. I'm more concerned

about rice. I don't eat rice at all, so I'm not concerned about it at all. Okay, what's up? So my friend is wondering if a guy is into her because he only... Hey, her friend. Text. Hey, no, no, no. Hey, here we go. Her friend. Okay, no, I know we're going to say that and it really is my friend. But we were having a discussion of whether or not he's into her. And I said, well, how often does he reach out? And she said, once a day, it'll, it's either a text or a phone call. That's, that's amazing. But that's it's, it's, but I guess the last, guy she dated, they texted more regularly and she was used to more text so she thought he should be texting more. And I said, well, this sounds like it could be healthier. Every communication,

I text in a very dry, no periods, exclamation points, very direct. It could be interpreted as not warm at times. I email the same way. It doesn't mean I'm not warm. But I, my communication but I'm quick. But everybody's different. I think if he's generally not a big texter, I think one a day is a lot if they're not like in a relationship. Or if it's not a text, it's a phone call. So it's reaching out one time a day.

And I am still making plans. They don't see each other all the time. But he continues to make plans. And so if there's one thing I've learned from y'all about guys is if you want to make time for somebody you will. And he's clearly making time every day at some point. Yeah. I don't feel like he is not.

making time for her. I think you're right. Once a day, if that's his communication style, and if he's making time for them to actually do human things, not everybody's a big phone or text person. So don't feel bad, Amy. He likes you. Yeah, you're good, Amy. Yeah, he likes you. That's right. And I would also, depending on his age, I think that's a thing too. You know, if he's 22, you know, if he's 52, I think that people that are 22 probably text a lot more, or Snapchat a lot more, or DM, and do DMs count? You know, does he DM? I don't know. I have to ask her. Exactly. Is he nice?

Is he nice, Amy? But this is not, I knew you all would do this. I'm just like, it's just not, I thought this could be something to talk about to remind. If a guy likes you, he will make time for you. Yes, exactly. So this isn't texting or calling because I think that's fine once a day. That's fine. But if he's like, oh, I'm too busy, I'm too busy over and over again, he does not like you.

Yeah, move on. A guy will make time for you if he likes you regardless. He will move heaven and earth, especially early on, to actually be or spend time. with you. Unless he's like on an international business trip. He's probably living a double life and he's a spy anyway. But a guy, if he likes you, we'll find time for you. And if you can't find time for you, it's because he's making time for somebody else until you're the top of the list. So hang in there, Amy. We have food. All right. I'm rooting for you. Thanks. But don't judge a guy based only on his texting, especially if he's never been another way. If at any point he's ever been a big texter and all of a sudden

he's not as much of a texter anymore, that's a sign. That's a flag. Okay. Why is he? texted me less because I know his communication style was like A, now it's like B. So rest assured, you're all good. Got it. I'll tell her. Yeah, please do. Let her, text her, text her, that's good. These guys always have questions about etiquette, and I think it's because they know they're doing it wrong.

They just want to ask us, they want us to be like, no, it's okay. Okay, yeah. But like, they always have questions about, okay, am I screwing this person over if I do this? And they want us to be like, no, no, you're good. Yeah. Okay, another etiquette question from the guys here coming up next. Now, we've talked restaurant etiquette, and it's when you finish, how long do you hang around and just talk, right? And before you have to leave.

Yeah. Like you pay the bill, how long can you hang? And you know, it's the waiter's got to turn the table over, and you're keeping the waiter from making money, keeping the restaurant from making money. So 15, 20 minutes after you pay the bill and then move that conversation somewhere else. I think that's generally the rule. However, a little wrinkle, Eddie? I think this is different. So we were at the airport.

I had a layover in Houston, and the Dallas Cowboys game was on, right? And I say, hey, guys, look, there's a Buffalo Wild Wings there. Let's go. And the game's about to start. We order, we eat. And everyone finishes around the first quarter. But I want to stay till the second, the whole first half of the game.

So then my kids and my wife are like, okay, we're going to go. We're going to go find this little kid's place. All right, I'll stay here at the table, finish watching the game. So I left two little wings in front of me just to make them think I'm still eating. Oh, I don't think you have to do that. Like leave the food and find you.

Well, why not? Just in case. But I did notice the server kept coming. Like, took everything else, all the other places. Do you need anything else? I'm like, no, I'm good, I'm good. And then she would come back, maybe 10 minutes later. Anything else I can get you?

You're good? I'm great. Thank you. Just here. So the question is if there's a game on, you're going to a place where they're showing a game. It doesn't have to be at the airport. Yeah, but Buffalo Wild Wings.

That's what they're known for. You go there for the games. Is it different? And I would say it is a bit different. But I would say if you're going to keep a table, you need to keep buying drinks or something. Ask for more water. No, no.

You miss the word buying. Yeah, yeah, you have to keep. Not a whole meal. Good. You've already eaten a whole meal. Hold on. So you need to buy like another beer and keep it. Otherwise, you're costing that person money.

You're literally costing their livelihood. But Bones, if you're going to this place to watch the Arkansas game. I would never. I don't watch games anybody. I hate people. Hypothetic games. No. I get it.

Hypothetically. You're doing this to go watch the game. You've already ordered 50 wings. You're not going to eat the entire time. You're not going to drink the entire time. But if you're sitting there taking up space, you should continue to order things. Otherwise, this person who's waiting the table, you're costing them money. Because they make money based on the people that sit there and tip.

Otherwise, you've taken a big plot of land. You're paying no rent. But the culture of this place is to go watch the game. But you don't own the space for four hours. I think you do. And how do you feel about being teamed up with him? I don't feel good about it. You own that space for four hours because their advertisement is for you to come watch games on their TV screens.

But their advertising has to watch the whole game. So they want you to come in and order wings. Did you come in and order wings? I ordered wings. And he kept two. 40 wings. Exactly. You ordered 40 wings.

So you did your part by ordering something. And now you have that space until the end of the game. Or if you want to stay for a second game, stay for a second game, you have to order nothing else. You ought to be on his team? No, I don't. But at the same time, I feel like I should be at my table watching the game. That's part of the experience of going to this kind of place. If there were unlimited tables.

Which there are not. Right. Otherwise, each server has four or five tables. And that's what they're making all their money on that day. And if you're holding that table hostage and you're not ordering anything else the whole time, can you sit there? Absolutely. Can you? You did.

I did. But etiquette-wise, it's probably best to order a little something and keep that going. and then or tip them really well at the end or tip them really well and say hey I'm going to tip you really well and be very forthcoming but I'm going to sit here for a little bit longer oh I didn't think about that but exceptional tip that's my thought on it as a former server you must give an exceptional tip you must give an exceptional should we ask Morgan who worked at Buffalo Wild Wings the etiquette of Buffalo Wild Wings well we can talk about restaurants in general but yes Morgan if somebody sits there for eight hours in orders but sits there for four hours on one of your tables in orders nothing oh yeah I mean listen it was the culture at Buffalo Wilde people were coming in to stay and watch the games but every time they stayed, they would tip like they stayed for four hours, or they would continue, they'd order dessert, they'd have multiple drinks flowing. It was a... You can't just sit still and order nothing and just, you can. You can. I had those. It's like a squatter. And people do, but that is not good quality etiquette in a restaurant because the person can only make money off the tables that come into the restaurant. I take it back. Let's not go to

Morgan. Let's get her opinion. Amy? How'd you like Buffalo Wallways out of the way? Is that working there? I loved working there. It was so much fun. Did you get to eat free wings? Well, I didn't. to eat the wings. I would take them home to my dad. She's a vegetarian. No, vegetarian. Vegetarian. Yeah.

How about a vegetarian working at a wing place? That's crazy. That's wild. Amy? Yeah, I'm not going to stay there the whole time unless I'm guaranteeing a good tip or I'm continuing to order things. So I'll make it worth it. Learning lesson here.

Four hours is a long time. When you say a generous tip, like 20% is normal, what would that be? It depends how much longer you're going to stay. 30? it just depends how much longer you're going to stay that's a gut thing whenever you're there and you're like I'm going to watch into this game I'm really sorry but I'm tipping you now to show you

that if another table would have been there for an hour it's like what would they have tipped in that one hour they'd have turned it over that's good gotcha okay so learning lesson here but always if everybody is one way and he's one way it's normally not the right thing but sometimes he's right every good once in a while yeah

Christmas will be here before you know what I was reading the story about buying gifts for people and they were like, hey, unless it's somebody you're super close to, don't get creative with gifts. Because you'll end up spending money on something that, well, you got creative, put a bunch of effort into. You don't really care that much anyway. And then they didn't like it. So they're just going, hey, be simple. Like get them something they will use, like a Starbucks gift card or something that just because it's practical doesn't mean it wasn't thoughtful.

That was the whole point of the article. I've never felt more seen ever. I love getting people practical things. Is it the most exciting? No. when I text you a gift card going I got this free for Christmas Was it easy for me to buy online And that's why I did it possibly

But is it extremely practical Yes I'm so much for practical gifts that we're for sure going to use Yeah but I got you what an Uber Eats card I didn't know what I went of me forever Yeah no no I don't know why I made fun of you Yeah because you said I didn't put any thought into it Yeah it's fun to make fun of each other sometimes

I regret it thank you I think it was because the judge position of the gift that I got you Is very thoughtful and we are very close Right Because when I led this story off it was people you're not extremely close And we're close. So I would say that doesn't really count. Yeah, but also you can evolve and recognize that maybe we prematurely made fun of him.

I don't think so. Now, because I remember the gift that I got him was very thoughtful and thought out and I'd spent forever ordering it. And then he got... I know, but sometimes people don't have the bandwidth. Christmas to Christmas, it may change. Some years people have a lot going on. Everybody has a lot going on.

Everybody's got problems you don't know about. There's different seasons. I did think, too, what would Bobby use? Uber eats? I forgot about it. I'll be honest with it. Now that you told me again, I remember how funny I wasn't make it funny.

And then I remember somebody stole it or I lost it. And I've never seen it since. What a waste. Here's Amy's pile of stories. An unsurprising new survey found that nearly half of women are stressed about aging. What is surprising is that the women who are most stressed about it, they're still young. And they're like all stressed about getting older. And it's like, oh.

Well, old people don't stress about getting older or any old. I know, but they're just getting younger and younger. Like they're freaking out more, yes, because there's just more pressure for whatever. reason, whether it's coming from themselves or just other women or social media, whatever it is, there's just this pressure. I think culture. Yeah, culture. Just from culture in general.

I don't think guys stress as much about age. There definitely is a stress. I think with me, the only age stress that I have is that my wife is about 12 years younger than I am. But we haven't had, we haven't kids yet. And so I'm going to be like 102 going to kindergarten graduation. Like that's the only stress that I have. throwing the ball. Yeah, it was like, eh, that I'm going to be, but, you know, we plan to have

kids the next couple of years. That'll put me mid-40s having a kid. And that's fine, as long as I can stay healthy. But that's the only age stress that I have. But I do see where there is a value defined by culture that is unfair for women that guys do not have to live with. Yeah, it's a bummer. In the same vein of aging, I saw that people are willing to do just about anything to live longer, but the things that are the most difficult for us to give up, especially in America. French fries. No, alcohol, cigarettes,

and I think red meat was also on the list. It's like, I wouldn't live longer, but I'm not giving up those things. Because we think that's just a little thing. But it can add up. Yeah, and we don't add it all up. Yeah. What if though, like, we're trying to live longer,

but like as soon as you die, it's like, boom, amazing. Yes. We're like extending it out. That's what they say. They say that to you to make you feel comfortable. That's what they say. They try to get you like, oh, yeah.

I'd like to live forever. Or would I? Exactly. Exactly. Nobody knows anything. All right. Walmart is selling a smores costume that has three pieces, chocolate, marshmallow, and gram cracker. Now, the online description says the costume is a way to have all your besties included

or an effortless way to like celebrate you as a couple with a friend. So it's like you're not wearing the costume and has three parts. There's three of you. until you smush together and walk. Interesting. That's hilarious. I like it. And so it's like a three-piece.

A three-way. Three-way costume. But it would be weird of you and your wife and a friend did it. Yeah. That's called a threesome. Well, do you say that's how you found out if they're interested. A thruffle. I don't know.

That's really a thing. I think it's just a funny name. Oh, okay. Or it's like one of those weird religions you see on like TLC or the guy, a couple of wives. But that's, yeah. If you do that, you almost have to be like three bros doing it. Right. Or three friends.

He just went on Will of Fortune with Ryan Seacrest. What? What do you mean? We can call him in a minute. They recorded it? It's over.

So he can talk about it? I don't know if he can talk about what happens on the show, but I forgot to tell you guys, he went on Will of Fortune with Ryan Seacrest. And we know this person? Yes. What? Does lunchbox know him? Yes. Oh, no. I know. And that's what I said to him. I was like, you got to come on the show. So he just got on randomly?

She's way more famous than I am. her, we want you to host this show. And then it's like, oh, hey, how are you doing? Oh, Elizabeth Banks are going to host us now.

That was Amy's pile of stories. Come on. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home is something good. 12-year-old Jordan, he's driving in the car with his stepdad in the middle of the night, in the middle of Arkansas, and the stepdad, he falls asleep at the wheel. They roll over.

They crash. on the side of the road. And the stepson looks over like, oh my gosh, my stepdad, he's out. He's unconscious. What does he do? He gets out of the car. He walks down the road in the middle of the night for two miles looking for help. And he finally found the deputy down the road.

And he says, come on, we got to find my dad's. My dad's, my stepdad's in the car. Come help. They get in the car. They rescue the stepdad, take him to the hospital. And thankfully, because he walked two miles down the road in the middle of the night, they found his stepdad. I feel like the deputy is an angel.

I feel like the, he's so like you a cop was there. Yeah, that's what I mean. Well, in the middle of the night, who else is on the road? Well, maybe other cars, but the deputy, he's out. He's patrolling. I guess there were no other cars on the road, too. Where were they? It must have been in the middle of nowhere. Franklin County, Arkansas, where's that?

There's not a house anywhere, run to a house? I'm not familiar with land. That's true. The plot, the local living there. Yeah, and that cop, they looked for that cop. He never existed. Exactly. Okay.

They tried to find that cop for comment, and then there was no cop. Mm-hmm. What did that tell you? It was an angel call. Mm-hmm. No, it's a good story. Glad they survived. Glad the kid got out and ran and found somebody.
