And then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turn.

And then you think the year, any of lunchbox that it's trying to put you through. Mike Deed's writing this week's next bit. Now Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is. This is the Bobby Vaughn's store. What do you think the world's most expensive food is if you had to guess? Steak? like a certain type of wagoo. Yeah.

I went to a place once and they said, would you like the waggoo? I said, I would. And they brought me a certificate of the cow before they killed him. Whoa. That's how they proved. I didn't like it. Yeah.

I didn't like it. It had his hoof prints. And it said this is the wag is weird. No hookhirts. Oh, I take that back though. It's probably lobster. Yeah, the seafood, the lobster or sometimes they, those like big tunas, they sell for millions of dollars.

Oh, yeah. Did you ever see those? This is, it's caviar. Okay, caviar. The world's most expensive food is Almis caviar. So it came from an exceptionally rare fish, a sturgeon, typically between 60 and 100 years old. The eggs are harvested. They're so delicate and rare.

They are sold in a 24-carat tin. People say it tastes buttery. And for a pound, it's $15,000. Wow. I've never had caviar. Have you? Yes, I like the pancakes. Is that what you put it on?

Yeah. I could eat just the pancakes. Cool. Yeah. Because they're small pancakes. Caviar tastes very salty. I don't have the palate for it. I probably had it five or six times. But I like the small pancakes it comes with. I would just order that if possible.

So that's from the Guinness Book of World Records. Ever had caviar? Never. I mean, I can order some up here if you guys want to try it. It doesn't taste good. You can get this one, the sturgeon one? No, no, no, no, no. Lunchbox, you're a guy who likes the finer things.

If you had caviar? Yeah, I've never seen it in my life. Oh, it's not that expensive. Like, I could pay 60 bucks and get a thing of it, and you guys could try it. Well, Mike, we'll order some caviar. Okay. You're not going to like it.

It's not good. It'd be like a beer. I've never had beer. Okay. And if I had beer for the first time, you guys would be like, you're not going to like it. Agree?

Mm-hmm. I think this is that because I've never had caviar and liked it. So can we get some of those little pancakes too? Or? Because you said it's good on the pancakes. I would just eat the pancakes. Well, I know, but it seems like a pancake may balance the saltiness.

Yes, but if you want caviar, you should actually taste the caviar. Like with a spoon. Yeah. And you're going to be like, oh, okay. Just so low? It's exciting.

Speaking of food, when you go out to dinner, be aware of your waiters, wait. Why? If your waiters overweight, you're likely to eat more. Oh, my. For real, like subconsciously,

you just... Yes. So, 60 full service restaurants, diners, and other places they studied over a long period of time, and they found, that you're two times as likely to order dessert when you have a heavier waiter.

It's likely that the presence of a heavy person made the diners feel as if they had permission to indulge. Wow. Okay. This PhD Brian Wansink wrote this. It's called Slim by Design. I've never really been convinced to order the cheesecake because my waiter was a certain weight. I don't think.

You don't know. You're right. And I'm wondering, so if you have a really thin waiter, are you like, oh, I better not? because you want to be that waiter. Interesting. That's so weird. Speaking of that,

so GLP1's, some are reporting interesting side effects, permanent eye damage and vision loss. This is from AZ family. I'd like to read this, but then I would also like to counter it in an interesting way because they say hundreds of lawsuits have been filed

against major GLP1 makers accused in the popular weight loss drugs of causing permanent eye damage and vision loss. So then I went and looked into it to see how many people were saying it. And I believe it was, this is me and aside, vision. Yes, for sure. It was like one in 12,000 people would report some sort of vision lost.

If you told me that and it was like, hey, you're going to do a GLP1, but there's one and 12,000 odds. It wouldn't affect me. I would do it. I'd do it. You're pretty good. Yeah. And then also, would these people have experienced any sort of vision problems without the medication? That I don't know, but just the one and 12,000? Pretty good odds. Yeah. Now, I mean, I'd love more of a one and 100,000, but that's not bad. Better than one in five. True. One in five I'm out. Yeah, that's dangerous. No way. It better give me muscles as well. Not just lose weight, but also add muscles. But the lawsuit said the drugmaker should have known about and informed patients of the potential side effect. Also, I have bad vision anyway. So what are you going to do to me? So who cares? Even if I hit the

1 in 12, I keep texting my eye doctor going, are my glasses in? Are my glasses in? And they're like, no, let you know I text them again last night. Are my glasses in? Because when I did my last eye test, she said, hey, your vision is two to three prescriptions worse right now. I'm surprised you haven't coming earlier. And I thought, wow, what am I missing out on in life? And so I can't wait to get them. I hope they're not so crisp, though, that it gives me a headache. Yeah. Because I'll have to take these glasses that I have, order three pair. Two of them are this exact frame, another one's a slightly different frame. I'll have to take these glasses and I'll start wearing them and then I'll take all my other glasses and take them in to ship off to get those frames because I've had glasses

that have different prescriptions and you're just kind of playing glasses roulette, which is not good. And then I have sunglasses I have to take in. Bad vision is bad. It sucks. I was playing trivial pursuit last night and the cards are so tiny. I had to go upstairs and get my glasses. I couldn't even read the questions. You went upstairs. I can't leave home without them. Like they're on me at all times. I fight it. I fight it all the time. Occasionally I'll have them at war. It's really as life is easier with them,

but I just, I'm going to put it off as long as I can. And yeah, I had to go upstairs and do the walk of shame, bring my reading glasses down. Be like, okay. We're getting older. That's getting older.

My father-in-law is an eye doctor and I sent him my new prescription and he actually sent me like a pump-up message after because he's the kindest, like Mr. Pump You Up kind of guy anyway. And so I sent him. Oh, like you're, We're going to be able to see so much better.

Yay. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. He said every couple years, the bifocal power usually needs increased. This is going to change your life. It's totally no normal. It's going to be great for you. That is sweet. So nice.

Yeah, I'm getting a pump up from my father-in-law. So, yeah, there's that. Amy said that she was in a bathroom stall. At the mall. I guess women have to sit down. Yeah, there's no choice. Yeah, I squat. I don't sit all the way down.

Okay. And so squatting was part of the problem. so I couldn't move. Like if I was sitting down, I could have lifted up my feet, but I was in the stall and the custodian came in and started mopping the floors.

And I'm in the stall and the door shut, but she's sticking the mop, a wet mop under and mopping my stall while I'm in there. But because I'm squatting, I can't lift up my feet. And I'm like, oh, she's just like mopping around my feet. She knows I'm in there.

She did not care. She had a job to get done. And she's just squeegee in a way. I think you would probably hold off on getting that specific stall. Yes. Like I'll be two more seconds and I'll come out. But nope, do,

do, do, do, do, did you hit your feet ever? She did hit your feet with the mom? Yes. Yes. It was like one of the funniest things that's ever happened to me. Did you say anything?

I couldn't stop laughing after. I walked out of there. I'm like, did that really just happen? It felt like a skit. Like, I was like, am I on TV?

Or am I being recorded? But I get it if they have to clean the bathroom because you probably never find a time where no one's in a mall bathroom. But that is odd that she would hit your feet there. She did not have a care in the world. You guys don't have the, I'm going to hold it. At the mall?

Guys, if we have to sit and go number two, we most of the time hold it unless it's bad. Sure, I can probably do that if I needed to. But are your bathrooms cleaner, do you think? Well, this was Nordstrom. They have couches in the bathroom. They're nice. And they're clean.

And you still squat? Nothing will get in their way. Yeah, why do you squat then? Why don't you just sit on it? Well, not that clean. Oh. You know what I mean? There's a difference between contact.

Like the bathroom overall has a nice vibe. Like you feel good when you walk in there. Do you guys have those papers that you can cover the seat with? Yeah, but sometimes the amount of time from pee leaving my body to getting one of those things out and tearing the little slits to lay it perfectly down. Are you holding it to the last possible? second. Yeah, what are you 12? Like the dam is about to break? Yeah, speaking of aging, like this is 45. Like, you don't, you got a short window till you've just peed. This segment makes me sad. Yeah, really. A woman reported her husband missing. He went traveling for work and then she didn't

hear from him. So she reported it. In reality, he was on a trip with another woman. Oh, gosh. Mm-hmm. What do you mean? Mm-hmm. I mean. Yeah. Classic dude. He's a dude for you. Yeah, the husband then claimed that the authorities' confiscated his phone. That's why he couldn't call her back. Switching off his phone. Disappeared with the woman. That's a dude.

That's a dude. Duding it up right there. Bad dude. What do you do? You just say, hey, I want it out of the marriage. I mean, unless you want your caken to eat it too. I found that often doesn't work. Well, yeah, it doesn't.

It's not possible. It's not possible. Often doesn't work. There's another one that made me. worry for Ray, this guy died after overdosing on caffeine capsules because Ray doesn't vape tobacco or doesn't vape a drug. He vapes caffeine. And so... Yeah. And he's just always like vaping the caffeine. It's awesome. Yeah. This guy died because he had too much caffeine. He was taken to the hospital, suffered cardiac arrest. He died.

They did a toxicology test found that caffeine levels were in the fatality bracket. So he had, I didn't know there was a bracket. Me neither. I'm like, what's the fatality bracket? Like how many milligrams is that? It didn't say. Okay. It did not say.

That's from the mirror, though. If you guys want to call us, you can. 877, 77 Bobby. What's the best thing from your weekend? My son had a cross-country race and he finished like 149th place, which I know sounds crazy, but there was over 400 runners. So, and he ran, and it was varsity, and he's a freshman. He's been running JV, but he did varsity.

How many people were in it? Over 400. So he finished in the top half? Yeah. Wow, that's good. And for varsity, I feel like that's good, a human freshman. That's what I'm saying. He's not even really 10th, 11th, 12th grade.

Yeah. So it was good, especially because his last race, he got trampled, and he fell down, so this made up for it. It feels like a commercial. Where a kid gets trampled, has some dirt on his face, it gets up. So the weekend before, not so great. This last weekend, that was the highlight. For us, well, just for me, Arkansas beat Tulsa in football, which is nice. Oh, so both of us sports related.

We needed a win, yeah. Yeah. I needed my win a little more than I think you guys did. Okay. Yeah, because we've been finished in 149th place usually. Yeah, and in football, that's not great. Yeah, no, we don't like that. But we got our first win, and I kind of, I had said online,

because the only thing I used Twitter for at this point is talking about the Razorbacks and football. And so, like, 13 days in a row, I've done a video blog on my Twitter. And so I said every point we went by, I'll donate $100. We won by 28 points. And so that's $2,800. But then other people started going, I'll match that. So we raised a little money. Nice.

So where's the money going? To the football team. In the program? Yeah. Get better players. Buy some better players. So for me, that was probably it. It was a late game.

So Caitlin was already asleep so she couldn't really celebrate with me. And Oklahoma, her team, they got beat pretty bad. they played Georgia, who we played the week before. Yeah. Eddie, you? Probably the weather was the best thing. It was beautiful outside, like, every single day. Because my Cowboys lost, so I'm just kind of lean on the weather. It's a pretty good game, though.

Like, you deserve to be there. It was an entertaining game, you know? And, like, it was fun for all of us to watch it. It didn't end the way we wanted it to, so kind of ruined my Sunday. But, I mean, it was still a beautiful day. Lunchbox? My kids finally had soccer games again. We played one game a month ago.

then they had a break and then weather it was too hot they kept canceling games so they finally got to play soccer this weekend so that was fun. Weather was nice. You hate to be that old guy and it's been so hot the weather was nice.

Hey if you guys want to call us 87777 Bobby Went back to my hometown Mountain Pine, Arkansas and I did a bobby cast with my old stepdad Arkansas Keith so we did this in the auditorium of my high school.

We both went to the same high school and so we talked about what I was like as a kid and then us going to a Cubs game. So here he is, my stepdad, Arkansas Keith. What was I like as a high school kid? A little nerdy, but still... I'm not going to say... No, tell the truth. I do want the truth.

A little nerdy, and, you know, it's always kind of the highlight of the day, you know. You've been funny, and used to piss me off with the turning the red, When I go get in a truck, take you guys to school, you'd have the radio turn over, turn the truck on the radio be blaring. I look over and you'd be smiling like, yeah, I did that. You know what I mean? That kind of stuff.

That's the kind of kid you were, you know. One of my core memories of us being in the truck, especially like all the Toyotas, it feels like it was always in a Toyota. It was Toyota. It was always Toyota. Was listening to that Cool 95. And I think there are two things that I still got from you that affect me every day because I just know so much about it. one, it's classic rock. Yeah.

60s and 70s. That's all I listen to them. It's all you listen to. And for me, I would try to learn the songs, and we'd play how quickly can you name the song. Yeah. And then even old baseball. I mean, I think I could probably recite

how 1969 went baseball-wise. Yeah. From... My heart still kind of got a big chunk and knocked out from 69. Stupid Miracle Mets. Yeah. Stupid Mets.

Took the Cubs. Cubs had a huge league. Stupid Mets. And did the Mets meet the Orioles in the World Series? They also did beat them. year, 1966 World Series. I wasn't even alive

and I'm sad but people will ask me how are you a Cubs fan and it is only because you were a Cubs fan and man I watched it was in summertime I watched every game

because they did all day games on WGN's here are Cardinal fans and big rivalry but yeah I like the Cubs one of the cool things for me was the first time I got to go and throw the first pitch

out at Wrigley Field that took you with me that was awesome what do you remember about that I'm still just paralyzed from every time I think about it was an awesome day to be out on the field

at Riggly Come on, man. Yeah, it was a good day. Went to the game, went down on. Cubs got beat, but... Yeah. Do you remember who pitched? No.

It was John Lester. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Cubs got beat, but that doesn't matter. They got blew out, remember? No, because what I remember thinking about was, one, I was super excited because I was stolen the first pitch out, but I was mostly excited because you hadn't been yet, and then when you were getting to go, it was, we got to go on the field, and I got

threw the first pitch out. That was awesome. Awesome day, man. Because Wrigley Field just felt like Hollywood, like something you don't really see. It's still a great place, man. It's like something you see on TV that you may, maybe you never get to go. How long ago did you retire? Full time about four years ago. So you go to high school in Mountain Pine. What was your goal when you're graduating high school? What'd you want to do? Get out of school, get a diploma, and not have to go to Vietnam. Really? Yeah. Was that scary to

everybody to have to go to Vietnam? It was getting scary, but, you know, they kind of quit the draft and said to me three, so everything was pretty cool. And you graduated 74? Yeah. So you got lucky by a year. Did you feel in 72 and even early 73 that you could get called in? Yeah, you know, it started slowing down, but they were still drafting. You know, I'm thinking, wow, you know, good chance of it. Would you watch on television? Did you see when they were drafting? Would they put on a TV?

Was that scary to watch? Not when I was a little guy, but, you know, as you get older, you start thinking, hey, I'm in the 10th grade, you know, this could be me, you know. Would they do a birthday draft? Is that what they were in? It was a lottery, yeah, it worked on your birthday, I believe. So they pull a ball and they would go, like, April 13th, and if your birthday's April 13th, your butt pocketers,

you're like, oh my God, that's me. That's crazy. If you want to hear that full episode, go search for the Bobbycast on IHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

to be high. Hello, Bobby Bones. I was helping my brother and sister-in-law move the cannon they were using for their gender reveal party. The cannon had a color powder inside. And while I was loading it in the back of my truck, some of the powder spilled into the bed, the blue powder. I didn't realize how much had gotten out until we got to their house. There was blue powder everywhere. The problem, everyone was arriving at the party and there was a blue mess so they knew the gender of the baby.

they were upset. I feel terrible. I didn't intentionally ruin their surprise, but there's no way to undo it now. How do I make it up to them? Signed, gender reveal failure. This was a complete accident. I don't think you have to make it up. I mean, how can you? You were also helping. Not only wasn't an accident. You were also doing a service for them and the accident happened. This is how you repair this. Man, I'm really sorry that happened. That's it. Again, you were doing something for them and it happened. What are you supposed to do? Could have happened to anybody. Yeah. It's not like you poke a hole and did it on purpose. Also, why are you getting a cannon? They're going to do it big. Let's relax a little bit with the cannon and the back.

But if it was completely on accident and you were helping them out, I hope they understand. I can understand them being a little sad about it. But still, I don't think there's any reason for them to hold it against you. What do you say? No, you can't. I mean, if anything, let this end up being like a funny story of like, oh, try to do it in a canon and then something. happened and it spilled over and then we found out, I mean, you just have to roll with it.

It'll be funny in a year. Sure. A year. It may not be funny to them now because they wanted to have the big party and have the gender reveal. But I think in a year, when the baby's born, it'll for sure be funny because nobody cares once the other big stuff starts happening. Like this is not something that people hold on to and go, you know a moment I cherish

our gender reveal. That's right. Especially once the kid is alive and you have a baby. And look at the bright side. You're kind of out of helping them for all kinds of things. You really want me to ruin it. Remember the canon, right? Remember what I did there?

You shouldn't help you move houses? I broke the cannon. Yeah, just say you're sorry and don't hold this. Release yourself of this. So, yeah, you're good. All right, close it up. The music you love. Your favorite radio stations.

Self-Care September is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means. Yes, self-care can be a long walk.

It can be in everything shower. it can be putting your phone on Do Not Disturb, but sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff and understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out while you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Gemma Spag, the host of the psychology of your 20s podcast, and each week we unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s, from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more comfortable with who you are. Unlike the quarter-of-life crisis, is depicted as the collapse, the quarter life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something.

When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. By age 11 or so, at least 70% have a phone.

So it's literally physiological and neurological and psychological and psychological chaos happening all this end up. We got into group chats and gaming, friendships and bullying, and how to tell the difference between healthy monitoring and the kind of surveillance that erodes trust.

There's belonging. You could think of belonging as I can be myself and I can still be accepted. And then there's fitting in. Spitting in says I have to change who I am in order to avoid rejection. Then we turn the conversation toward the fathers, sitting down with therapist Keir Gaines on Black fatherhood and what it means to raise a daughter through this stage. You don't have on shorts so you can't do flips.

You have on the dressy up across your legs. That's the range of this run. From screen time to identity to the fathers doing the work at home. You have to get off of a device. But the reality is there's a lot of life out there that we don't want you as your adults in their lives to miss out on. This has been our surviving middle school run. Brought to you by the people who spend their careers thinking about exactly this.

Yes! Yes! What is that? That's notebook. No book. Have you not seen that? Maybe I just don't... You'd love it.

I'd watch it every night. I don't know what that is. Okay, so we got three here. These are all tiebreakers. Buzz in with your name as soon as you know it. Oh, okay. Buzz in with your name as soon as you know. You can jump in at any time, but obviously it's going to be quick.

Go. I'm sorry. Amy. Amy. Parrish. No. That's John 316. Oh. Eddie.

Pass. Correct. Wow. What movie is that? Lord of the Rings. Dang. Hit that, Ray. Still two left.

Okay. Buzz in with your name. Go. Fat guy. Amy. In a little coat. Coat. You said in a little coat.

A fat guy in a little coat. But I don't know. Lunchbox. Lunchbox. Coat. Correct. That. That.

That guy in a little coat. Ray, would you play the whole one that she, yelled over. Bad guy and a little... We're just looking for coat. That's the risk you take. Amy, you gambled. You gambled and you lost.

I respect the gamble. Yeah, me too, but you can't get mad whenever... But I said the whole statement. But that's not it. We're looking for the word. Yellow card. I'll take it. I feel like it's worth getting a yellow card for.

I have a question, though. When do the yellows turn red? You know, like in soccer? Two yellows in two corresponding games, you get kicked out of a game. Okay, got it. And if you're real crazy, You get a straight red.

Oh, dang. She's dancing with the red right now. Yeah. So, like, don't say the whole line. But that wasn't the answer. Okay, but it was the whole statement. Oh, I'm getting red. I'm getting red.

It was the whole statement. But that's not the game to say the whole statement. When you were writing down all the other ones, when you said, what's when you got, right? Box. But I had to finish it. I had to say it. You just said box is your answer on what's in the box. Okay.

Oh, I'm getting close, boy. You got your hand in your pocket? That's fine. Okay. Last one. Here we go. Yell when you got it. All right.

Amy. All right. Did she ever say her name? Yes. I sure did. Eddie yellow card. Wow. All right.

All right. All right. All right. That's correct. That ends in a tie. What? Sounds good to me. Everybody got one.

Oh, okay. So that's a win for everyone, right? Yep. No. In the stat sheet? I don't know, dude. Amy's been just pushing me too hard. I'm getting, I'm a little frazzled over here right now.

She broke her pants and she's taking it out on me. We have no real winner. Everybody wins. Everybody kiss your sister. Can we play all our songs in one? A mash. A mash up. All right.

Okay, hit the music. Amy, what's the game here? All right. You're coming home to three envelopes. They each are something different. You have to only pick one, okay? Okay. First envelope.

the exact date in time you die. Oh, so if I open it, I read that. Yeah. Okay. Second envelope. What happens after you die? Okay. Third envelope.

The biggest surprise your future holds. Which envelope are you picking? You guys think about this too? Okay. Yeah. That's tough. So you have the exact date and time you die, what happens after you die, and the biggest surprise your future holds. So for me, I don't want to know the exact time and date.

that I die. I just don't want to know that, so I would not choose that one. Because if it said in two days, I'm pretty much bummed out. There's a chance I could be very sad by reading that envelope. And I don't need a live like you were dying. I don't need a food man chew. I don't need any of that. So don't want to know that. I also don't want to know the biggest surprise my future holds because what if there's not a good one? And I read, the biggest surprise your future holds is a candy bar. My future sucks then. There's no surprise. So those, Those two have a real chance of bumming me out. Like, I could get bad news in those.

Yeah, like surprise, you have cancer. Oh, I didn't even think about it being a bad surprise. Oh. Oh, wow. Those two are the two that bummed me out. I think I would love to know in exact detail what happens after you die, both physically, everything. I mean, that's so far the easiest one because the other two could be bad. I guess if they say, and you open it up, what happens after you die, and it's like, it just hurts forever.

Oh, gosh. I mean, I guess that. But the other two I feel like aren't for me. Eddie? What'd you write down? Don't change your mind because I said something. I'm not changing my mind. I'm going to go with the first one.

I want to know the exact time and day that I die. Because, dude, the opposite of what you said, I want to either get busy living or get busy dying. Why not get busy living right now? I am. But, I mean, if it says, you know, tomorrow, then let's, I mean, hyperspeed. You would want to know when you're dying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I want to know how much time I have just to make sure, because if it says, even if it says like five years, I might, you know, quit the job. I might like, you look at the finances and or even get more prepared. All these things that you can do if you know when you're going to die. So your mind goes to quit your job instead of work harder for your family? It depends. It depends. It depends. Like, what if it's spend more time with the family or if it's like work harder at something where we can, you know, provide more for the family? It's called do the job. It's called work. Yeah, but I mean, if it's this job or if it's another job. You're going to start a new job and make more money. Why not do that living? If it's robbing banks? You know what I mean? Like, whatever it is. So you want to spend your last five years in jail? Because that's also where you're going.

Dang, that's a good point. Or I wait for the last day to do it. I just wouldn't want to know when I was dying. Because I wouldn't want to know if it's tomorrow. Or if you open it up and it goes, five minutes. You have five minutes. Then you're wondering like, what is it? Oh, my God. Yeah. Are you going to kill me?

lunchbox? Well, it's definitely not the day I'm going to die. That is the scariest thing ever. And then I thought about, oh, yes, I want to know what happens after we die. Because that is one thing that I think about all the time. Like, it freaks me out, like, what happens after we die? But I don't want to know that because if nothing happens, if we just get buried in the dirt and that's it. That's sad?

That's scary and sad. So just give me the biggest surprise. Let me know what the biggest surprise of my life is going to be. I think you'd be hurt if there isn't anything. Now, I would be, but it would be better. then knowing that like after I die it's just you're buried in dirt and in a few years your bones will be decomposed in that box. Well, some people think that's a beautiful part about life is that you get to have it and that's

very precious and that's what you have is why you should value it so much. You don't like that? I don't like that it just is over and then the world's just going to keep going. Even though I know it's going to happen, I know that's going to happen, but that just gives me the absolute kib-jee-jee-be-jee's. What's your envelope of choice? I'm with you. I want a confirmation on my faith. I mean, I have faith in what happens when we die.

I think it would be really cool to know that's actually because those of us. I also want to know what happens with the body too. Well, the body decomposes the soul. No, you don't. You don't know what's happening as you die. You can be a gravedigger and find that out. No, I'm talking about as you're dying. The soul? Like what's happening with your body?

Rigamortis. You guys are talking about after you're dead. I don't care about after you're dead. I'm talking about as you're dying. Like what's happening with you? People see stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to know what's happening with the brain, what's happening within the brain.

That whole process. Yeah. Yeah. Smart I like all of you. Rig and mortars, dude. Now it's time for the morning corny. The morning corny. What kind of tea do football players hate to drink?

Hmm. What kind of tea to football players hate to drink? Penalty. God. You're so close. Good, good, good, good. That was the morning corny. That penalty is nasty.

What that? What? All right, voicemail. I'm getting married and I'm debating inviting this girl that I've been friends with since we were really young. But we haven't really talked much in the last year. We sort of had a falling out. I did send her the give me your address link. I'm way over my limit for the wedding.

And I'm also freaking out a little bit because of that. But also I feel like, what has she done to be a friend to me in the last year or can support my relationship? Nothing? Thanks. Looking forward to your help. Whoa. There's a lot there. I would say when you said send me your address and the link, did you say because I'm getting married?

And then if she didn't respond, then okay, you tried. Yeah. I think you tried. You're good. Especially if it's a packed wedding. You don't think you should be trying to fit in people that you're debating about if they should even come. Yeah, you're already over limit. Just let it go.

My niece is planning her wedding right now, and we went over a list of question. She could ask herself to narrow down their invite list because it is way too high right now. And one of the questions you can ask yourself is, have I talked to this person in the last year at all? It's almost like the decluttering thing we talked about on the show last week where you can go through your closet. And if you're going, hmm, do I want to get rid of this? Well, have I used in the last 90 days? Will I use it in the next 90 days? Do that with people.

Yeah. Have I talked to them in the last 90 days? I don't know if it's 90 days. Well, I talk to them in the next 90 days. I think you could use a year. Oh. A year, a year, a year. I think with this caller, if you're debating and you've already asked for their address and you're already full, you're good where you are right now.

There's no need to cram her in. So, yeah. You guys can hit us up anytime. We'll help you out. Give you some advice. 877-77 Bobby call us. We'll either answer live or you can leave us a voicemail at any time. We have Marty on the phone who drives Uber.

Yeah. What's up, buddy? It's Bobby. How are you? Hey, Bobby. I'm good. How are you guys doing? Doing pretty good. So you drive Uber? What's happening with you? Yeah, I drive an Uber every day. I do it for a living. And I started 6 in the morning and I turn you guys on immediately. And I listen to you until 10 o'clock. And I get a lot of my passengers wondering what station I'm listening to so they can start listening to it also. So I just wanted you guys to know I'm out here plugging for you. and enjoying your show every morning. You guys are great.

Marty's promo on the show for it. That's legit. That's really cool. Hey, Marty, we have a story. Amy has one about an Uber driver. Would you listen to her story and weigh in? Absolutely. Okay.

Okay. So I had to drop my car off to get some work done and I took an Uber back home. And I get a notification on the app that says, driver is deaf or hard of hearing. Use text to communicate. Even learn hello and thank you in American Sign Language. Do they teach that to you on the app?

No. Thank you to this. Okay, go ahead. No. They're saying, like, go look it up real quick before your driver gets there because, you know, the driver was arriving in two minutes. And I get in and I'm thinking, I don't really need to communicate. It's fine.

And I know, thank you. And so I just get in the car. And it is, it might be my first experience ever in an Uber. Like. Because it was hard hearing? No. No. No.

No. No. No. No. I don't know if hearing had anything to do with it. it. It was driving was so bad. I was nauseous. Like we were abruptly stopping and going. It was a 25-minute drive and I could not wait to get out of the car. And I couldn't say anything. Like I didn't know how to sign like slow down. Like what are you doing? Like we were going in and out of lanes. Like I really

felt nauseous and I didn't want to look at my phone to even look up how to communicate because when I would look at my phone, I would get more sick. So I just, like, powered through. And I thought, this is the most bizarre Uber drive. I mean, maybe I've had some other ones, but I've never been in this particular situation, ever. I will say the most bizarre one was the time that my Uber driver hit a pedestrian. Yeah, you didn't have one that hit a human. That was true.

They hit a human. It was like, so do you want to wait for the police or do you want to call another Uber? I was like, I'll call another Uber. But anyway, this one was just unlike anything I'd ever experienced. and I didn't know what to do. I mean, then he dropped me off at home, and I was like, thank you. And then I got out. Marty, what should Amy have done in that situation?

She did exactly what she could do, man. Just sit there and hang on. Yeah, like I had to buckle up. But I don't know. That was just interesting. And I love that they suggested I learn, you know, the basics. Did you? Hello.

Did you tip? Thank you. Oh, yeah, I did my normal. not looking to make maybe he was having a particularly rough day. I'm always a I mean even my driver that hit a pedestrian. I'm like five stars tip. Unless he dropped you off at home. No, no, no the one that hit a pedestrian didn't drop me off at home. But yes, that is always my thinking. If they drop me off at my house, they're getting the star treatment. They know where you live. Yes. Like I don't want retaliation. Marty, you ever thought about retaliating?

Oh yeah. A lot of time. He's kidding. He's kidding. He's kidding. I can tell. He's joking. Marty, we really appreciate you listening and thanks for sharing with your riders. We really appreciate that, man. Thank you. Hey, did she give the deaf guy five stars at least? Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I did my usual. Like, I'm always a five star and a tipper. Is that important to you guys, Marty? Absolutely, it is, yes. It keeps us up in the rankings and preferred drivers.

I'm a five-star Uber driver, and I've had that ranking. for about five years now. Do you ever not pick someone up because they have a low ranking like as a customer? Yes, absolutely. We see on the app if you have any bad problems

and I won't pick anybody up with less than a four star rating because that's just asking for trouble. Yeah, for sure they're going to pee back there. Oh, yeah. That's what I would think. For sure. All right, Marty, have a great day.

Thank you for calling. Thanks, guys. All right, bye, Marty. This record is on. Miley is having a moment. New name, new album, and two exclusive shows. So IHart Radio is sending you

We're two best friends, 22 years apart, but so close at heart. And I'm Lisa Di Giulio, the old one, which means we have wildly different references,

occasionally different opinions, and at this point in my 50s, I've lived it all. I'm not going to get any of your fighting. That is wild. I learned that about you today. Now in my 30s, being the founder of new shoes, good taste is my business. And I've always got something to say. If men were just honest about this, there would be so much more peace in the world. We're going to talk about dating, relationships, beauty, getting older, and a little wiser.

We're best friends, but we don't always agree. Because you told us how accommodating you are. Obviously, I would do what I think I could do to fight the fight, but there's only so much fight I can fight. Don't lie to me. Don't lie to me. Don't lie to me. Don't lie to me. Don't lie to me.

Self Care September is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means. Yes, self-care can be a long walk. It can be in everything shower. It can be putting your phone on, do not disturb. But sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff. And understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out while you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Gemma Spag, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s podcast.

And each week we unpack the psychology behind the. experiences that shape your 20s, from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more comfortable with who you are. Unlike the quarter life crisis, which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something. When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart radio app.

Lunchbox went to the surgeon for his swollen testicle. He finally got in. Yes, they were able to move me up because I did some complaining. They wanted me to see a nurse practitioner and they said they could get me in December 4th. Then they called with an appointment and I went and I met with the doctor. And? He said, you might have a little hernia on your left side, but I don't think that's what's causing you the pain. Okay. So you want to know what he said after all these months, 15 months. Yes.

Yes. He said is causing that pain? Oh, my God. Yes. He doesn't know. Hey, I have a question. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Could it be that the pain's not that bad or that lunchbox is overreacting? Maybe the testicle's not as big as him? Him?

Could this be it? Because every doctor says, I don't know after they look at it. Or it's not as bad as you think it is. No, no. You have a low pain tolerance? No. He's like, I don't know what could be causing that pain. Because I'm expecting the doctor to look at the testicle and be like, whoa, I've never seen anything like this.

Hey, Cindy, send out all the other doctors. And then everybody comes in to look because it's so aggressive. Yeah. But I've told you that the swelling has gone down. So that's not the problem. It's the pain right here in the side, and he doesn't know. So why not get the little hernia fix then? You can have surgery?

Well, he said, I don't want to have to go in and fix that chasing the other pain. If that's not the main culprit, I think you're okay. We can eventually maybe fix the small hernia, but I don't think that's that big a deal. So, it's okay. So now what? He's sending me to a different doctor. Oh, my gosh. At least there's hope.

At least they have someone else to send him to. How many doctors have you seen now? I can't even count. Well, try. I've seen my primary care, a two urologists, a gastroontologist, a sports medicine,

a nurse practitioner hernia person, two physical therapists, this guy. And none of them know what's going on. None. So is it possible? Eddie says that there's nothing going on. I was about to name one door, Dr. Jean or something.

So that's like nine or ten. Can't forget Dr. Jean. Maybe try Kaborkian. It's unbelievable. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, 10. What? Dr. Kellam.

Dr. Kellan. That's 10. So 10 doctors have looked at your testicle and have found nothing wrong with you. Except maybe a small hernia. Maybe a small hernia. What's the next doctor going to tell you? What's the specialty, her specialty, whatever? I don't know.

Are you crying? I want to. Oh, wow. 15 months and not being able to move, like I want to move, it's pretty frustrating. How do you want to move? Freely? Got it. Pain free?

Like, I don't have to worry about it. I don't have to, oh, if I go play a soccer game, I'm not going to be able to walk for three days barely because it's going to be in so much pain. How do they do in the hospital pain level one through 10, right? I sound like 10. I mean, it sounds like 10. Some days it's 10. Some days it's two. Right now, what is it?

Oh, one. Because I haven't been doing anything. But once I go do something, boom, back. Okay. Well, when do you go to the next doctor? Waiting for them to reach out. I've got a referral in, and so they'll hit it me up. Please, somebody hit him up.

Hit him up. Hit him up. Okay. We got a really good scam email this weekend. I almost fell for it. It said, hey, just double checking. This is your receipt from your, I think it was like Brooklyn Bowl in another city. Here's your receipt.

and I was like, oh, I didn't buy that. And they sent me a receipt with pictures and everything. And so I thought about it for a second. And then I went up into the email that it's sent from. And that's really what you should do every single time. If you get an email and you're thinking about clicking it, clicking into a link, responding to it, go to the email it's sent from. And a lot of times that will tell you that it's fake. But it was so good that for a split second, I believed it.

They just sent me a receipt for a purchase. I didn't make the purchase. obviously it was a scam email. I didn't make the purchase, but whenever someone goes, oh, here's your receipt. You spent this. You're like, oh my God, no, I didn't. Someone's got my card. And then you click on something to fix it. Yeah. 98% of Americans say they have been targeted by scammers. So they did a test online where you can see if you can tell the difference between what's real and what's fake. And most people couldn't tell the difference. The AP did this. Our company used to do this. They would send emails. And lunchbox,

you fell for it, right? Yeah, they do say that. I follow for them all the time. Oh, you may have spent this or here's your password. It's been compromised. Oh, I better fix that. And then what happens whenever you do that? Thank you. Because the company then will send an email out and go, hey, if you replied to this or you did this, you've been fake

compromised. It's the nerds that are trying to get us. It's like they want you to participate in work stuff, but then they're trying to trick you. It really makes no sense. It's really a double-edged sword. No, they're trying to educate you. Yeah, they're trying to show you what not to do so you don't get infected with the virus. That's not

taking part in work stuff. That's not like going to the company social. Some of the tricks are like, you've won this prize. Yes, exactly. But it's never from the company when you won the prize. It's never from the company. The company doesn't act like the company when they send you an email. Okay. I thought they got him once with like a prize.

Yeah, but it wasn't the company. It was a fake email. They didn't fall for that. Yeah. It'll say anything free he will fall for. Just whenever you get an email and you think, hmm, I should click this, go up into the email that sent it to you, like right click on and open it, and usually it's some weird email address that does not match. If it does match, then you think it's something. Another trick is

you can always call, never receive a call and think that you should give them information. If someone calls you and you answer it and they say, hey, we need this because this happened, say, great, I'm going to call you back. I'm going to go to your website and find your number. because you'll never go to a website and call a number and then get hacked especially if it's the real website. Does that make sense? And then also George Clooney

is never going to message you and want to date you. Ever. Ever. I get a lot of messages from people that go, hey, I've been talking this weekend. It was Mr. Bobby Borns. Because it looks like my name and it was an account built exactly like mine.

It looks like my name, but there is no blue checkmark. And someone was saying they were chatting with that account. Because they thought it was me. It's not me. I got one account. Well, the Bobby Bone Show has an account, but I only have one account.

And so not to be confused with giving Tuesdays, you're not going to reach out to them, right? I'm not going to reach out to anybody and say, I would like to give you something unsolicited. Yes, yes, yes. All right, back in a second. Let's go over and talk to Troy in Kentucky. Hey, Troy, you're on the show. All right, buddy. How are you doing?

Doing pretty good. What do you want to say? Man, I've been trying to get. through for a week, that lady that called in last week and just, like, busted lunchbox about, you know, why is he on the show? Why don't you get rid of him? All that. Man, he is the only guy that talks real. He says exactly what comes out is, and he's thinking nothing. He just says it, and I love it. Because he calls you out. Yeah. Well, but he calls you out for giving people money for doing dumb stuff.

Like, I want to go to Disney World or my kids on a traveling ball team, and everybody else is, and I love everybody on the show, they're cool. I ain't never met none of you all, but everybody on the show is great. But he's the only one that is like calling exactly the way it is. He's the reason

I turn on the daggone show. And that lady, I guarantee it, if somebody was to call her boss and say, you need to fire her, she's an idiot. She shouldn't have said that. I mean, if she feels that way, I agree with Lunchbox.

She should not tune into the show. I mean, I don't know. That lady, she just rubbed me weird, but whatever. It ain't my deal with y'all's deal. But, I mean, Lunchbox, man, he's funny. I mean, I don't care. He's funny. He's loud.

He's a guy you could go chill with. He's funny. And that lady, I mean, she's a Karen. You know it and I know it. Why would you call anybody's boss and say, fire this guy? It's dumb. I mean, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it. I mean, and I'll guarantee it if you was to call her work, everybody that she works with,

be like, oh, yeah, we're not surprised. I would say the difference is we do welcome feedback, and we do welcome calls about anything. And so that's the difference. She feels comfortable enough to call and say that. and I think a lot of people disagreed, a lot of people agreed. So it's different than if you work at a bank and someone calls. That's definitely different. And also, why do you have a problem with me giving money to people who want to take their kids at Disney

or they're on a traveling team if they can't afford it? I'm glad that you can afford to do it. But here's the deal. My daughter went to a private school. I mean, I could afford to do all that. If I couldn't, she would have played on a local team and done local stuff. that's on me. If I'm a failure as a parent and I can't afford to support my child,

I made some bad choices in life. That is not, I mean, I'm glad you're doing it, man. I'm glad you got the money to do it. But I promise you, if it hits the fan and Bobby Bones goes broke, these people ain't going to send you a nickel. But I don't expect them to send me a nickel. And also, I don't think you're a failure because you can't afford something for your kids in any way whatsoever. You know, a lot of stuff wasn't able to be afforded for me.

I don't think there are any failures there. I think if I can help people, that's great. That's the whole point of the segment is that if people reach out and they say, hey, I need a little help. I got them. I don't ask questions. I don't follow up. And you're right. I also don't expect if blank hit the fan for people to send me a nickel. What was nice, though, is we put these trucks up that I had designed with these patients from St. Jude when we sold 5,000 of them out in a day. and would they have sold out just based on it being a toy? No, probably not. But we have a very close-knit group here that listens to this show

that we all kind of have each other's back. And to me, I feel like they were getting in the truck, but they were also going, hey, we got you because you have people all the time too. So I feel like that's what that was. Well, I'm not against the deal. You just said it was stupid. He said, no, I did not say that.

I said that he calls it out. if he's, some of the stuff he says is, it makes a lot of sense to me. Keep in mind, I'm country, I'm Kentucky. And so when he says stuff, I can relate to it. Now, I relate to, hey, I just bought a girl a dagon car going off to college because her parents couldn't buy her car. Wait a minute. Then, no, they must be failures then in your mind. By the same logic that you're using, you just bought her a car because their parents are failures, Troy.

Well, I hope they don't listen to this show Because that ain't going to go over very well But yeah, I mean, I felt bad for her She wants to go away She got a scholarship But she didn't have a car Star went and bought her a car It was a used car but it's a nice car

And her dad got mad about it Because he's like, hey, you know what? Wait, you should be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah That's weird Wait, you just did it without talking to her parents I know her older sister, and she was the one explaining the family's finances, and I was like, when is she leaving? And she told me, and a buddy of mine owns a car lot. And I said, man, keep it under 15 grand if you can.

He said, nope, they don't even make cars under 50. I said, well, I don't want a new one. But I ended up, you know, I mean, I came out of pocket pretty good. Look, Troy, I think that's amazing. I think you just went on me a little bit, but you just did the same thing. I know. For your friend, you're a sister.

Yes, Troy. We're the same. She has to go to Disney World, bro. She asked to go to college. No, she has, she wanted a car that was $15,000. I gave them like $600 or something. She did not ask for that price.

I didn't want her to be broke down on the side of the road. All I'm saying is, don't deny you're a good person, Troy, and don't hate on other good people. I'm not hating on nobody. Yeah, okay. All right. Hey, Troy, I appreciate the call, man. Thank you very much.

Thanks for listening. Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day. This story comes us from Phoenix, Arizona. A 60-year-old man always wanted to be a cop, make a difference in the community. So he put some lights on his truck, drove around, pulled over a car for speeding. And then he radioed in. And I'm going to back up.

They're getting kind of Rooley over here. Making a difference. I hear a difference being made. So the cops show up. They arrest him because he's not a real cop. Oh, dang. But was he making a difference? Yeah.

He made some kind of difference. In those cops' lives because they had to go arrest him. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. All right, voicemail. Yeah, I just wanted to ask the question. I think everybody's wondering.

When Lunchbox fails a polygraph, what's the consequence is going to be? I don't know, because that will be, if he fails, and Amy did move houses because of a prank that he pulled I think that'll be a little more, I don't want to say severe. I think that will be meaningful. That's not even it either.

I don't know. Will Amy want compensation? Like, does Amy kind of get to decide? I mean. She made money on her house. What would be the compensation? She made bank. But she had to move.

Listen to him. He's already defending himself. Yeah. I don't know. How would you? I mean, moving costs. But getting money out of lunchbox is very difficult. so I think just closure on a very confusing time would be great.

I don't know that we can actually enforce a consequence for something that was such a big part of her actual life, not the radio show life. Yeah, then if it was me, I'd like compensation for my pizza that she didn't eat. Okay, that's weird. But you sent it anyway if it was you. So there's no compensation. You sent the pizza as a prank.

Yeah, whether somebody eats it or not, it doesn't matter. When you send pizza as a prank, you don't send it so they eat it. You send it just so they get it. Now I'm starting to feel like he did it. I know. Listen to him. Yeah, I don't know the answer to that. The consequence will just be him being embarrassed that he was finally caught.

And maybe having to privately apologize to you. Oh. Wow. That's hard for him, maybe. That'd be very hard. Yeah. He may not fail, though. I don't know.

And my ex-husband, please. Oh, yeah. He has to deal with him? Well, he needs to apologize to him. Because he moved, too. Yeah. It was stressful. He was, I think, in Afghanistan when the pizzas were coming.

And, yeah, it was stressful. So. It's cool. Don't even know if he's going to fail. Not even worried about it either way. But I'm willing to pay the money to get the guy up here. We did not have a date yet because we have to find like two and a half hours to do it. Okay, next one.

The end of August about Eddie getting an answer wrong in easy trivia. And now I'm driving the car listening to yesterday's, to Wednesday, podcast and I hear a guy get on to complain about lunchbox saying eagle into the bald eagle but yet I've left so many first I don't even know what she's talking about I don't know either I don't remember that game specifically

but I hear you I bet Eddie does you're the one that said it I don't remember August guys let it go and you win most yes come on it's well so what was the answer supposed to be just vertebrae or in for I don't know I don't know either it sucks

and once the game is over it's over I had that part. That's the part that sucks. You can't go back and change the results. It was like the Michigan, Western Michigan football game. After the game was over, they reviewed it and said Western Michigan should have won the game. So stupid. Really?

Yeah. And they can't change it for. The one second on the clock and then they can't change it. Really? Mm-hmm. So once the game is over. It's the rules. And the refs leave the field.

It is what it is. And I understand how big of a deal that is for Abby. Like she could have won one. But, you know, let's just move on. Yeah. That'd be huge. To win one. So I think he was wrong.

Let's just do that. Okay. Ray, tell me one more. Hey, guys. It's Ashley from Aberkirky. I was just listening to the show, and you were talking about, like, kind of the older guys' legends in concert like Garth and Brooks and Dunn.

Well, I wanted to put one on your radar. We just saw up at Santa Fe, Sawyer Brown in concert, and he was amazing. He can still dance. His voice is still gorgeous and beautiful, and they put on a great show. all their hits. So keep that one on your radar because he was amazing. Love you guys. Love

the show. Go pack. She's bouncing between he and they because it's a they. This is a band. Yeah, Starry Brown isn't an actual person. Mark is the lead singer's name, but it's a band. But I do see where that could be easily confused. And what's crazy about that is he's such a great athlete, was such a great athlete, was a college ball player. And yeah, they still have it. But they have so many jams too. I want to thank Mama for the cooking, Daddy for the whooping. The devil for the trouble that I get into I got to give credit where credit is due I thank the bank for the money

Thank God for you. Jam. That's the one that comes to my first year. That one. I mean, I bet I could sing more. I like the, well, I ain't first class but I ain't white trash and a little crazy too. That's a jam.

Some girls don't like boys like me. No, no, no. But some girls do. Jam. Yeah, that's a nice throwback there. Do you need to be told the song? Yeah. Can you think of any songs from them off the top?

I need to be told. Because you'll know a bunch of them. I bet you know, and the races on and here comes bright in the backstretch. That's an Alabama song originally, though. Is it? Yeah. But they made that big in our lifetime.

Home back and I try not to fall. I think that's an Alabama song originally. Six days on the road and I'm done. Oh, dang. I forgot about that one. Thank God for you. Let's see. Let's see the walk.

But you know this one. Oh. Yeah. This is so good. Yeah. It's like their ballad that just crushes. Dude, that's so good. Something you got to.

Yeah. Mike, is Alabama? George Jones. Oh, George Jones. Did Alabama do it? No, I'm thinking of... I'm in a hurry. I'm in a hurry.

Yep. Yeah. Same kind of vibe. Jones, good deal. What year was that song? The walk. I want to guess. I want to guess 95.

The walk year. Are you looking it up? Yeah, but. The walk saw your brown. That's high school for sure. I have the lyrics. 91. Oh, way off.

Yep, June 1990. You guys can call us anytime. 877-77 Bobby. Hit us with those voicemails. We appreciate them. I was talking to my old stepdad, Arkansas Keith. We went back to my high school, and we were in the high school auditorium, just kind of talking about life on the latest Bobbycast.

And once his truck rolled just into the lake and sank and we lost his truck. And so this is us talking about that. When I think about the lake, whenever your truck sank, what do you remember about that? I remember going, oh, no. The boat's on a trailer. Yep. You pull up, and if you back the boat in first, right? Did you do that?

Yeah. Then how does the truck fall in with the trailer on it? Well, I parked it up the hill, and the battery was low and might not start it, so I left it on the hill where I could get in it and jump started when I got ready to go. Was the trailer still on the truck? The trailer still on the truck. It hit that big rock and jumped about four foot and blocked the boat in. Did you forget to put the emergency brake on?

I did. I lifted out of gear, and it rolled down the hill. And you saw it. I jumped in it, but it went in anyway. But you saw it. Yeah. It then hit. Your mom said the boat, the truck, the truck, and I'd come flying by me.

And luckily I was able to get in it by couldn't find the brake and it hit the rock and jumped in the lake. So it falls in and it's a saint. It goes all the way down. Yeah. The top was sticking out. The water wasn't that deep. How much of the top?

Oh, about four inches. That's all the, that's the, that's the whole truck. Yeah. Four inches the top was stuck out. How did you get the truck out of the lake? I hadn't called it a wrecker. That's a bad day. That truck was then done, right?

Yeah, it was done. That's when I got the little red one. Remember the red one? Yeah, because that was silver, that was silver, right? Yeah, light blue. Light blue, silver. I'm colorblind, obviously, yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, that's almost a core memory of you coming home going.

I sunk the truck. Because it wasn't in gear and the emergency break wasn't on. Why do you think you forgot to do those two things when you always do those two things? I was in a hurry, your mom, you know, if I'd been by myself or I probably would have, you know, I was wanting to get her to the fish. I'd already caught fish that morning, and I wanted to get her back there, you know, to catch some too. and y'all's walking back down to the boat. Here comes the truck. Look out.

Bad day. So we actually met way before you and my mom got married. I don't remember this. I don't think it's a lie because you've told the story. Did you give me a ride in your Jeep or something sometime? No, I brought Cammy and Amanda were a little girlfriends. Your daughter and my sister, yeah. And they were little girlfriends, and I was off work with a broke arm.

And I was getting ready to go, and I looked around there. You are you just wanting to go too. I said, you don't want to go with these girls? Yeah, I want to go. I said, well, go ask your mom, you know, and you went and asked Pam if you could, that's the first time I met her and you. Where do we go? We went up to Spillway. Oh, she went to the lake.

Yeah. Just to do what? Just took them swimming, yeah. You don't remember that? No, I don't. And I have told the story, but that was the first time that we ever met. How long was that until you married my mom? Oh, about three or four years before that.

Were we living down with my grandma then? You live with your mom in an apartment at those apartments. Oh, we live in the apartment. Your grandmother managed them. Got it. Was that weird to have two extra kids all of a sudden? Well, the house wasn't prepared for it. It was 900 square feet for all of us.

Yeah. I could have, when I were free doing it, I thought about adding on a lot, but I did, and I wish I had, you know. All of a sudden I got more kids. Was it weird having two extra kids? No, I handled it. I mean, you had to. Work, you know.
