Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And I'm like... A wild bat you were with. It was like a first time. closet moment from me where I was like, I don't feel like she's hot, like the rest of that. No, no, no. I was like, she's beautiful. But I'm appreciating her in a different way than these boys are. I'm not like, but listen to Los Angeles on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. This is Julian Edelman, host of games with names.

Hi, I'm Iris Palmer, host of the Against All Odds podcast. Every week, I'm sitting down with exceptional people who have broken barriers even when the odds were stacked against them.

Like chef Victor Via of VAs tacos. You know the taquero from the Bad Bunny halftime show? It was great. It was a big moment. It was special. And I felt like I was really representing my family, you know, my brand, my city. I was representing all taqueros, not only of like, you know, the U.S., but of Mexico and beyond. All the taqueros of the world.

Listen to Against All Odds on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday Show. More in the studio. Morning. I want to go to the guys first. What makes a perfect wife? I ask this because I'm going to tell you what the Journal of Operational Research says.

But what makes the perfect wife? Lunchbox. D's. What's he talking about? What do you think he's talking about Eddie? Oh, my gosh. Okay. I want a woman that can cook.

A woman that cleans. Does my laundry. and has a good personality and just good body all around. I feel like you want some more from the 50s. So was it one thing or like all the things? Well, I have some things that's going to list, but I just wondered where your mind would go. I mean, mine for sure, beautiful, right?

You want her to be beautiful. You want her to have a good personality, funny, preferably blonde, you know. What else? good with kids. And then like easy to just kind of like let me do things. You know? Like don't give me too much of a hard time

like if I want to go play golf with the boys. So it's breezy. More than 50s vibe for you too. Yeah, non-nagging. I guess you can put it that way. I would have said the typical things you say when you look for a partner are like funny.

My wife's really funny. But also somebody, I need somebody who can check me. Like challenge me at times because I tend to push extremely hard in any way that I'm pushing. And I need somebody I trust that has my best intentions to tell me I'm doing it wrong. So I need someone that can have that in a partner. So I put that in there. But a lot of the other stuff I don't think I need for like the perfect wife that you guys listed.

You don't need a pretty wife. I think she wouldn't be my wife as I was attracted to her to begin with. Well, yeah, that's part of it. Yeah, that's part of it. But that's a part of it. So looks a relative is, you know, you're saying like obviously. Obviously I'm going to be attracted to her if we're getting married. Oh, right, right.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I guess we didn't need to say that. What do you think as a former wife yourself? Well, I'm glad you said former wife. Former? Are you a wife right now? No. Were you? Yes. Okay. As a former wife? Well, I'm glad you brought up the challenging because that's what I was thinking. Like, I think a man wants a woman that will challenge him and make him better. They don't. They just want to go easy, breezy.

You just said that. I like easy breezy. I need that. I think that y'all want someone who is supportive and caring. No, no, what do you think is? No, don't do us. Oh, okay. Well, yeah. Challenging, supportive, kind, caring, loving. Like sports or will pretend to like sports?

I'm very fortunate. My wife comes from an extremely sports background. Her family, it's all they do is watch sports. She played sports. I got fortunate there. Yeah. I will throw in breezy. Easy breezy.

I think. Blast you're going to say D's. Yeah. However, there are times when, like, you know, the challenging or the checks, like you said, like someone that will check you, you can't be too breezy. Yeah, I feel like the challenging and the checking is for my own good, but also it's going to be uncomfortable, but I have to understand that I have to trust that person. Yeah, you said it.

You said someone that has your best interest in mind. Yes. And I think that as partners, we want that in the other person. Like, oh, this person loves me, cares about me. I need to listen to what they're saying, which brings me to my next part of a good partner or a good wife, a good listener. Sure, sure.

I mean, all those sound great after years of marriage. Researchers looked into some of these statistical factors that led to a good marriage and the perfect wife. They found it's important for the wife to be at least five years younger than the husband. That's weird. Check on that. Check, Bobby.

Probably because the brains don't develop the same. Oh, like it's helpful because the man is more mature. I saw something the other day that like y'all's brains. Mine still isn't fully. Yeah, I got it. Good for you because you're about five years away. I heard it's 50 years old. Yeah, mine's not fully.

Really? Yeah. You had a year's like tomorrow then. I'm almost there. She is from the same cultural background as her husband and they had similar upbringings. Oh, yeah. Equally yoked.

Yoked. What are you talking about? Like, wait? I'm thinking like your faith. Oh, because when someone says they're yoked, that means they're ripped up. Like they're strong, muscular. No, no, no, no. You never heard that in church?

Equally yoked. No, just the gym. Okay. And then she performs better on standardized tests than her husband and had a higher GPA. Interesting. Is she smarter than you? I think my wife's smarter than me in a lot of ways. Probably not standardized tests, but probably higher GPA.

And she has far more education than I do. She's like multiple masters. So that is what's the perfect wife? it's supposed to be, which is way different than what the rooms was. Yeah, our initial ones. It's a different direction than I thought I was going to go. That's good to know. Here's like eating egg or something.

You got to like the same kind of egg or something. Bobby, what is something you look forward to every day? No matter how busy you are, just something like a simple pleasure that you never get tired of. Signed, B-teamer. I look forward to seeing the dogs when I go home. Well, wife's not always at home, so I can't predict if she's going to be at home or not. I know they're going to be at home. So I look forward to seeing the dogs when I get home.

So that's probably the first thing that comes to mind. I like, like to have a little time before I fall asleep to be on my phone. I like that time. Like when I'm in bed. That's nice. I'm in bed for the night. I'm fully in bed. And then I've dedicated 20, 25 minutes to just doom scrolling.

Like, I like that time. Like, I like that. It's like literally this, like, suggested not to do that. But that's what you love to do. It's like all research points are like, don't do that. Bobby's like, I look forward to it. Yeah. And you will never give it up, I don't think.

No. And I show my wife my screen time a lot. I'm not on my phone a terrible amount. How long are you guys on your phone usually? A day. Do you have any idea? If you go to settings. A lot.

See. But I tell her, I also work on my phone through the day, right? So that's a part of it. But if you go to settings and then you search screen time, it'll pull it up. And when I have any day, It's below six hours. I show off. Six hours?

To her. I'm like, look. 5.30. 4.55. Anything like that. 4 hours, 36 minutes. That's your average? Yeah.

That's a lot. Yeah, that's my average. So I guess some days it's... Eddie can't figure it out. I'm a misspelling screen because it's not finding it. Two hours, 12 minutes. That tracks. Yeah.

You don't stand your phone very much. No. What do you got? One hour and 39 minutes. That's all. That's pretty good. That must be just today. That's daily average.

This is why they don't know anything that's going on in the world. Eddie, this is 11 hours. Oh, my bad. I didn't see the one. 11 hours. Wait, how are you on there? Now I take back my comment. How are you on that device for 11 hours and you still don't know things?

It's a good question. I don't know. But how are you on your phone 11 hours? Well, I do use GPS everywhere I go. So do I? Oh my gosh. But I mean, I go to practices every day. Like, every day.

I GPS to work every day. Oh, what? This thing just gets weirder and weirder. You GPS to work? Every day. Every day. You guys don't? I know how to get to work.

I know, but sometimes there's an alternate route. Yes. Oh, I don't. No. What if there's... That's wild. You guys GPS to work every day. Oh, GPS everywhere.

I check the time on... Same. Anything. Because like, what if it's different? You guys crazy. I also don't trust myself. I get that. Yeah.

I GPS a lot of places, but I never to work. That's crazy. Oh, wow. every single day. Like I pull up to the building and it's like end route and I'm like every day. Every day. And it tells you what traffic's going to be like.

So even like you have practice across town like, oh my gosh, it's going to take an hour to get there today. No, I know. But that's practice across town. We're talking about GPS and to work, guys. Yeah, same. Okay. Yeah, every morning.

But then once you see that, okay, you're going the same route. Don't you just turn it off? Nah, leave it off because it tells me what time I'm going to get there. You guys are crazy. Anyway, I like to see my dogs when I get home. Thanks for asking. There you go. All right, name a band with a number in their name.

So we're going to play the Bobby Feud. We ask 2,000 Bobby Boe Show listeners. Name a band with a number in their name. It'll go Morgan, then Eddie, then Amy.

Five? Is it only five? There's five left on the board. Oh, there's five left. When I read them each to you guys, you will take a pen and stab it in your eye. All of them. Because you'll be like, oh, my God. Morgan?

I'm like just seeing pictures in my head, and I feel like there's like five-finger death punch. That's a bad. That's a band. It's a weird one to come to. I know. All I'm seeing in my head is a five. Three seconds. I don't know if that's good.

That's all that's coming to my head, though. So five finger death punch. It is a band. Eddie, you have zero points. You're going to go home if you don't get one. All right, this is round three, right? Everything's tripled. I got you.

Go ahead. Matchbox 20. Matchbox 20? Oh. That's good. Number seven answer are worth 21 points. I'm stabbing myself. Don't call it a comeback.

Oh, no. Go ahead. And the only one I have left and it better be on there is one direction. One direction. Number six worth 18 points. Yes. He's taking the league. Wow.

Jackson 5, YouTube, Blink 182. One direction. Matchbox 20, three doors down and some 41 all off the board. There are enough points for you to win this thing. There are? Oh, yeah. I mean, that would require me knowing any other bands of numbers. Yes, yes, that's true.

And obviously, you would need to get one right. Matchbox 20 and one direction. I do want to stab my eyeballs out. One direction, two direction, three direction, four, five direction, six direction, matchbox, 80. I've written down every number and I can't. Every number you've written down?

The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told,

I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.

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

On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts.

Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Luke Calls.

You posted a picture of you playing your first ever show. I think it was in Boone, North Carolina. I mean, yeah, it's truly the first gig I ever played. Like a paid gig? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, really first gig where it was like, hey, I'm going to like promote myself as a person that you would come see in concert. You know, so I had sang in front of people forever, I mean, my whole life. So it wasn't like anything that I was particularly nervous about.

Oh, you weren't like super nervous. Like this is my big shot. No, no, no, no. I was more excited because I was like, I just felt like I believed in my ability to like deliver. I knew I could sing enough and play just enough to like to actually do it. So there was no nerves there. And I knew like it's my first show. So it's kind of like built in like I had a bunch of friends.

So I was like, well, I know my friends are going to come. It's not like nobody's going to show up. Boone's not big, dude. It's a small town. Is that ass it? Yeah. Whenever you play that first show, are you playing any songs that you wrote or are you playing covers?

I don't have a set list. I probably played for like an hour because that was about like the all I could play. I'm just doing, it's 99% covers. If I did an original, it was one or two, max. Because I'd probably only written five songs at that point. What inspired you to do that show then? Were you singing so much in, were you doing chorus in college? Not in college.

I was in an a cappella group my freshman year and part of my sophomore year. I was singing doing that. I was always like in practice of like singing. But then by the time I do the show, like I had been playing for people in my living room, like at like parties and stuff, not in an official capacity, but just like, there's a guitar around and you start messing with it and people are like play, play cruise or, you know, like whatever. That was a big song at the time.

That was my big closer. Everybody wanted to hear it. Were you getting a lot of affirmation when you're playing at these houses and for people and they're confused as why you're not trying it? Basically at that time, like I knew I was a good singer. Like I knew that and I was confident in that. And so it was just like I felt like, well, man, if I play for people, they're going to like it, I think.

And it wasn't like an arrogance thing. It was more just confident. Like I was never wondering if like, I wonder if people will like this. It was like, man, all I got to do is put myself out there. And I think people will like this. And I think it would be to the extent that it is now. But, you know, it worked. Was there a first out-of-town show that you were a little nervous about just because

you had never played in a different town? Yeah, we played a lot. Like, I did play a lot in, like, Charlotte. So I would go, like that summer I moved in with my grandma. She was living in Huntersville, which is just outside of Charlotte, the town I was born in. I would go there and then basically all I did all summer was I didn't have to have a job that summer because I was making enough doing my shows in Boone and stuff to be able to not have to work. So that was my first step into like quote unquote building a new market. Like I wasn't thinking of it that way, but that's what I was unintentionally doing is like I went there, live there that summer.

And basically I would get online and just figure out when all the open mic nights were in Charlotte for anything. Like just some of them were like you could come do stand up or anything. Some of them were strictly music. You would go play at open mics. Oh, yeah. I mean, I would go. I mean, that's what I was doing any night. So like probably there wasn't one every night, but probably four or five nights a week I was doing that.

And then as the summer went on, like I would do good enough at some of these open mics where they'd be like, would you come play here on Wednesday night for an hour or two? And I'd be like, sure. And then I would make, you know, 200 bucks doing that. And then I would drive up to Boone, do a couple of games. Those were my big money gigs. You know, I could make like guaranteed 300 bucks or something playing one of those. So I drive back up the mountain, play a couple nights and boons.

I wouldn't have to work. Come back to Charlotte. And then I met a lot of different bar owners and stuff. Just through some owner of a bar would say, hey, this guy played here. I think he's really good. You should book him at your bar too. And they'd put me in touch with some other guy that I would call. And then maybe that show was in Winston Salem or something.

So I'd just continually like push further east into the stuff. and then further west, like into East Tennessee and stuff, and a little bit south into like South Carolina, Columbia, that kind of stuff. But I did that for, I mean, two and a half years and just slowly built out. Like pretty soon I was playing in Georgia, like North Georgia and Atlanta, had some gigs in Atlanta at bars and just kind of, I didn't realize I was doing anything good. I just figured that this is what everyone does. Was it a strategy to grow or was it a strategy just to play music and exist?

Yeah, pretty much. It was a strategy because like all I never know really, what I wanted to do with my life, even in college. It was never like blatantly obvious what I was cut out to do, which is weird to say now, because I'd been singing forever. But once I picked the guitar up, man, I knew like this is what I'm supposed to do. Did I ever have any dreams of becoming like a big superstar? No. Because again, I'm going back to like that blue collar mindset of well, that just doesn't happen to people. So I'll just be fine. Like I'm making enough money, paying all my bills, don't have to work. If that's it, then I'm happy with that.

and that would be fine if that was how it was forever. I would have truly been happy doing that. And so I kind of set myself up for success because there was never any, like, failure. I never viewed myself as being able to fail because I had already achieved what I wanted to achieve, which was sustaining myself on my own without help from anyone else and just playing shows.

I could have lived the rest of my life that way if I wanted to. So everything was house money? Yeah, it was, yeah, it was like basically. It's like you go to a casino and they're like, here's $10,000 and you're like, oh, perfect. I'll never blow this because I'll spend a dollar at a time, you know. That's not how you do it in real life, though, right? Dollar at a time.

I don't even gamble at all. You don't? I don't sports bet enough. You're not a casino guy? I like playing roulette, but I don't do it. Like, I'm not a guy that's like, I could go to Vegas and not go in a casino and be like, cool. The most money I've probably ever lost in a casino is less than $500. Do you ever play casinos?

I did, yeah, a bunch of radio stuff. They were always fun. They're kind of hard to, like, in this. It's going to be a weird way of saying this, and I'll probably say it wrong, but like a casino is a hard place to be famous at. If I'm playing a show, everyone's staying at the casino. So it's not like I can just walk in and sit at the poker. Like everyone in there is like, they're all there and they know. They're all there and they know.

So like you can't even really go in there and do the thing anyways. And then if you do, they're like, well, we could get you a private table, but it's you got us. It's a thousand dollars a hand to get a private time. I'm like, I'm not. That's a total waste. So I remember one time I got, they're like, we'll give you a marker, dude. in one of the casinos it was like part of the payment was like, I remember they'd be like, we'll give you $10,000 marker.

And I'm like, how about you just give me $10,000? And they were like, well, we can't do that. And I'm like, what do you mean you can't? Like, you're already paying me X amount. So just add $10,000 student, don't give me the chips. And they're like, well, we can either like give you the chips or not. I'm like, perfect. Took the chips, walked in, sat down at the roulette table,

and bet the max bet on red or black every time. And then just took what I'm, and walked out. Because it was basically get $10,000 or nothing. So I'm like, well, at least could get maybe $5,000 of this. So I think I walked out with like $7 grand. Whatever the rush people get, I just don't get it. I don't know why. The pleasure center of your brain does not go off whenever. For that, for that thing, no. You throw down a bag of taco bell in front of me or it's in trouble. I love wedding drama, so here we go at a wedding. Is this request from the bride, practical or tacky? Go ahead. A bride is going viral after asking guests to pay $75 a plate

for their own reception dinner. According to the New York Post, the payment request was included right in the invitation with the bride saying it would help cover catering costs. Commenters didn't hold back. Classless and Just-A-Lope came up a lot.

But with wedding costs soaring, some are asking, is this the new normal? Fox 5 Atlanta with that. It does feel like it's the new normal because there's one of these every day or someone's asking for money for something. I think it's fine. It can be practical and tacky

at the same time. Yeah, I'm not going to be concerned if somebody else is doing this, like it's not going to bother me. I'm not going to do it. But would you pay the money if it was somebody you knew? I suppose. Yes, if my friend and I wanted to attend their wedding, I would be like, okay, yeah, this is different. I haven't done this before.

I wouldn't do it. Everything about that is that. No, but I'll pay it and I'm not going to like comment on it or have a fuss about it or anything. I mean, privately. I think that most people are upset because. they think if you can't afford the wedding don't have the wedding and that's what's happening here right they're not able to pay for it so they want the guests to pay for it but i have no problem with that like people are going to be giving you money anyway i think this should kind of count as the gift oh so

oh good little twist there if you have to pay for your dinner which is seventy five dollars ahead so if there's two of you that's one 50 are you getting them a gift there's a consideration of not because i guarantee you they are registered uh and and they're getting food for the money that they're paying. True. I don't have a problem with it because, again, if it's someone's wedding, I don't care what they do. It's their own wedding.

People don't have to go. People aren't being forced. It's not a tax. This isn't a tax on people that they have to pay or they go to jail. But it's interesting. And what if you don't pay, but then you show up at the wedding. Yeah, can you do that? That's what I was thinking.

B. Y. food? Like, I'll go to the wedding, but I just won't eat. Yes. What if you attend, but don't eat? Is that an option? I like that.

I haven't seen the invitation. I think that would probably be tacky. That would be tacky. That would be tacky to attend and not eat because there's going to be a place for everybody that paid. No, but I mean if you say like not eating, they won't set a place for you. Oh, like in the RSVP? You just stand. They probably don't go to the reception then.

They just go to the wedding and they don't stay for the reception. It's weird, but I don't have a problem with people asking for money for anything because you don't have to give them money for anything. It's like people getting upset at people putting tip jars and cash registers. I don't care. It doesn't hurt me one bit. to tip or not tip. It doesn't bother me at all. And you can scream about tipping culture all you want,

but you don't have to tip. So there's no reason to get upset. But yeah, it's $75 a plate though, too. They're having some nice food. They should give you the options. You want the $10 fried chicken or up to the $75 a plate. Would you go to that wedding, Eddie?

I think I would ask if I'm just not going to eat. Like, I'd love to go support you guys, love you guys, be there at the wedding, but I'm just not going to eat. I'm not hungry. And then I'll just eat before. Also, I bet you don't want to bring kids. No chance.

If it's $0.5 a ticket. I mean, they have a kids menu? Lunchbox, did you go to this? Not a chance. You're going to charge me to eat at your wedding. Your wedding sucks and I'm not going. That means it's not going to be an open bar either. Sounds like a terrible wedding.

Hey, have fun with your wedding. I'll see you afterwards. So weddings without an open bar, terrible weddings that you won't go to? Yeah, they kind of suck. You already know the mood going in is like, this ain't going to be that good. Hey, Abby, I'm going to ask you a question about because you're engaged.

Have you guys started talking about your wedding yet? A little bit. Not that much plan though. So no open bar talk yet? Oh, there will be an open bar. No doubt. So you're going to pay for the bar? Yes.

Yeah. That's like the best part. Oh, well, actually, well. For him, it's not over bar. Would you ever charge somebody $75 a plate? No, I wouldn't do that. I don't think that's right. What about asking for money for anything?

No, I don't like that either. I've never been to a wedding where that happened, and I can't imagine. That just seems off to me. How do you feel about registering for like your honeymoon? When people do that. I think that's okay because it's kind of like, it's like the gift, you know,

like they donate to the wedding fund. I mean the honeymoon fund. So I think that's okay. That's different. Isn't all the money going to the same place though, basically? Something just feels different about it. Then lie. Be like, donate to the honeymoon fund

and buy the fish with that money. The fish. Yeah. The dinner. Yeah, okay. I guess that's it. And now I'm sitting here reflecting like, like what is it about me or what's wrong with me that I wouldn't want to do this?

Like I would just, is it shame or embarrassment? Like I don't want to have to ask. So like I would rather just, yeah, have a low-key small wedding. No, I think what you would do is what I would do. I would stay within my means, which I've done my whole life. If I couldn't afford something, I don't buy it. Right. There's no shame on that.

Okay, cool. Because yeah. Well, I started to feel like, well, I mean, I don't want to judge anybody for if they choose to do this. But then me myself, I would never. Same. So then I'm like, but we're good. We're cool. Hey Amy.

Nothing's wrong with us? We're all good. Amy says she has a weird story for us. What do you have? I need to know y'all's theories on this. So my girlfriends and I are on a walk. There's two of us and I have my dog. And all of a sudden on the walk, this cute little doodle thing starts following us.

I mean, it is so cute. And I'm like, where did this dog come from and who does it belong to? Well, we're about to approach a busier road. And the dog keeps following my dog. And I'm like, when we get to the busy. road, like something had happened to this dog. So I just decide to go up to a door on that street just to see if they recognize the dog. And the woman says, oh yeah, I think it belongs to that cul-de-sac down there. So I'm like, okay, so we turn around, we go to the cul-de-sac, I don't know which

house, I just start guessing. Go to one house, nobody answers. Go to the next house, nobody answers. Are you holding the dog? No, it's just following us. Like I can't, anytime we try to get near it to check its collar, it starts barking and backs away, but it's following us, so it's fine. It follows us to the cul-de-sac. And then I walk away from the second house because nobody's coming, but as I'm walking away, a guy starts walking out. But not because he heard me at his door. He's just walking to his car.

And I was like, oh, hey, excuse me. Like, do you know who's this dog is or is it yours? And he looks at the dog and he's like, no, that's not my dog. And I'm like, okay. and the dog starts barking, like, barking. And I'm like, what is this dog trying to tell us? Like, is there something going on? And then the guy takes a second look and he's like, oh, yeah, that is my dog.

And then calls the dog by name and the dog follows him back inside the house. And then he goes and gets his car and leaves. What's your theory? You saw I saw what you're theory? Well, so we had some time to think about this on our walk because we all, my girlfriend's time. We looked at each other. We're like, what? just happened.

Like, this was weird. And we think maybe he was like, maybe just wanting his dog to disappear. You know? Yeah. That would have been what I went to first. Like, his wife's dog. To be brought back. Like, he wanted it to be out and he wanted it to either get picked up or heaven forbid to hit by a car.

I don't know. Was he any chance drunk? Well, we had our theories of, like, maybe he didn't have his glasses on or had he been drinking. Like, why in the world would someone? I mean, this dog, there's no denying. If any of us saw our dogs, like, right in front of us, we'd be like, oh my gosh, yeah, that's our dog. And then when he left the neighborhood and drove by us, like I was thinking how I would handle this situation, I would roll down my window and be like, hey, guys, thanks again for taking care of my dog. Like, thank you. He just drives right by. Like, we don't exist. And we're like, we just basically

hand delivered your dog back to you. And the whole thing, just, just felt so weird. Like he did not want the dog to return. And it made me really sad. Okay, I would think it can't be the glasses thing because I'm blind with no glasses and I can still tell a dog of its mind. It had to be like his wife's dog or something that he didn't like. And he was happy it was out and didn't want it back.

Yeah, I mean. That's what I would think. You guys? Oh, I have a theory. Yeah. He was burglarizing the house when he left the door open and the dog ran out. And he was, oh, crap, the dog ran out. So he made up some name.

The dog obviously knows that that's the house. So the dog ran back in the house. And that's why he left immediately. He left right after the dog went in the house. What time of the day was this? I mean, it was still light out, but getting dark. No way, it was a dog. It wasn't dark.

Yeah, dumb theory. That's stupid answer. I would say 4.30 p.m. We don't know the real answer, but it ain't that one. It's easy. What? He was high as a kite. He was high as a kite.

He'd been smoking inside. And he came out. He's like, no, wait a minute. That is my dog. You saw him. thoughts? No part of me thought he was high and like also his, I don't know, he didn't look like someone that would just be high, like or his house.

I know that he didn't have a high house. I hear him. Yeah, yeah. He didn't have a. Yeah. Did he look like a burglar though? No. Was he wearing just an eye mask like hamburger?

He was like us, like our age. Like he looked like one of us. Yeah, definitely couldn't be high then. Huh. I think, did he look like a wife's dog, be honest though? Like. Yeah, definitely. Like a little purse dog. Cute little dog.

Yeah, that's probably what it was. I know, that had to be our working. That was our working. Dang it. But I'm telling you, like, it was so, like, I think that he finally just started to be like, oh, yeah, that is my dog. Because we were looking at him, like, the dog was trying to say, like. I'm yours. It was barking.

And I was like, and just how bizarre he was, like, we were just staring at him. And so I think he just was like, oh, yeah, that is my dog. How could he, it was so awkward how he looked right at it. And he was like, no. I'm surprised he came back to yes, though. Because if you go no, it's just no and you leave. Yeah, it's just no. That's why it's so weird, because his no was so.

And I think he realized, like, he had three women, like, staring at him in a dog barking. He's like, there's no way I'm getting out of this. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th.

Now time for the morning, Corny's running this week's next bit. Now Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is.

Let's go. This is the Bobby Vaughn Stone. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny. What do you call a cat that loves a bowl? What do you call a cat that loves a bowl? An Allie Cat Allie Cat

Got it That was the morning Corny Lobby Bone Show Bonehead This story comes us from Richland County South Carolina

A 42 year old Elementary school teachers At Sam's Club Getting some groceries And she goes to get a rotissory chicken Only problem is there's one left And another lady wants it So they start arguing over it

the elementary school teacher punches other woman in the face for the chicken. What are you do in that situation? I mean, golly, that's a hard one because the rotisserie chickens are coming clutch. But isn't it the first person who touches it? Yeah. Like if your hand touches the chicken first, that's your chicken.

It doesn't matter. It's like a parking spot. Like if you're there in the blinkers on. Yeah, but if somebody fights me for it, I'm not going to punch or I'm not going to get an altercation so I'll surrender the chicken. Yeah, I guess. I don't know.

If you touch the chicken, we're going to make the rule here. If you touch the chicken first, it's your chicken. If someone touches the chicken in front of you, it's their chicken. It doesn't matter how long you've been eyeballing it, how long your drive was in. First person to touch it gets the chicken. Because the worst is in a parking spot, if somebody has their blanket on, if it's me. And I'm parked across, and I have to go across to turn right into the spot. But there's another car that comes up and gets out and is able to turn it quickly and worse.

I'm there first. My hand was on the chicken first. I was there at the parking spot first. All right. That I'll fight over a parking spot. Yeah. Makes me mad. All right, go ahead.

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. All right, so that was the radio show from this morning. As you will hear in part two, if you listen to Part Two, we didn't know what the technology was going to be on the boat. I am back in the studio this morning. The rest of the show is not back in the studio. I had to come back early.

That being said, the ability to do the show from the open waters, not always the best because there are a couple that you'll hear. It wasn't terrible, but obviously. obviously wasn't perfect. So you're going to hear that because we did an hour together as they were all on the boat. We recorded all that that you heard before we left in case the technology wasn't good, which it wasn't, so I'm glad we did it. That's part two. Don't miss that. I'm going to play now because we do talk about this game that I'm going to play for you. If you've seen this on my Instagram, that's awesome. If you haven't, go check it out. You can listen to it here. Mr. Bobby

Bones is my Instagram. This is Amy and I. We have these things on our head. We have a celebrity written on our head. We can't see who's on our head. We're trying to guess who's on our head. So here's that game, and then we talk about some of the conspiracy theories about that game in part two as they're all on the boat.

Enjoy this. Don't miss part two of the podcast, and yeah, we'll see it. Okay, you've got to guess the celebrity on your own head. Yes or no questions. Go ahead. Is, am I a guy?

Yes. Huh. Do I... No, no, it's my turn. Oh, okay. Sorry. Am I funny? Probably to some people, maybe.

All the, yes, yes. Okay. Am I an athlete? No. No. You've done athletic things, but no. Okay. Am I fictional?

No. I mean. Just kidding. Just kidding. Okay, so am I an actor? Yes. Yeah, you're an act. I'm going to say absolutely you're an actor.

But it's, but I don't think that that's the main thing. Okay. Okay, that's your turn. Am I a guy? No. Oh, dang. I had Kevin Costner in my head. Am I a musician?

An artist. Yeah. That accent is athletic? Yeah. Okay. Am I older than 40? Okay. Am I in country music?

These days, it's a little, right? I'm going to go no. I'm going to go no. You're not in country music. Is this you answering in some weird way that... I'm just saying no, you're not in country music. My answer is no, you're not in country music. Okay.

Was I on a Disney or Nickelodeon type show? No. Female under 40 and that's not what she's. Okay. Am I married? No. If I'm fact-checked, but I don't think you are. No.

Okay. Am I an artist, music artist? Yes. Okay. Am I under 40? I do think so. Yeah. Have I met the person on my head?

Yes. Do you know who it is? No. Have I met the person on my head? No. No. Under 40, it's a female, it's got to be a country artist. And so it has to be somebody big enough that they would even make the list of this.

So is it a female singer-songwriter that's like played our show? No. Oh, no. Well, I mean, depends on how you're, the way you're asking that, no. They haven't played our show. Okay. Dang. Okay. Okay. Well, asterisk by that one. Dang. Am I in a band? Am I in a band? Like, I'm a solo artist. You're not in a band. Your question was, are you in a band? You're not a band. So I'm a solo artist. You're not in a band. Your question was you're not in a band.

Which would make me annoying. Okay. So like it's not a band name, but it's not like a trio, not a duo. Okay, I'm a band. What was your question? Mine in a band. No. So I'm an athletic-y man that's acted, but my primary gig is music, and I'm not married, but I'm under 40, and I've not met him, and I'm not met myself, and I'm in a band. Okay.

All that's accurate. That's great. You remember all that. All I know is I'm a country artist. You never asked that question, by the way. I know. I was just trying to get a little extra. No. You don't even know the answer to that.

Am I a country artist? How do I answer this? Yes or no. But I gave some nuance to some of yours. I asked if I was country and you're... Okay. Yes. You're playing the game.

No, no. You're faking the answer. No, I have to say yes to it. Okay. I have to say yes to it. It's your question. Okay. Okay.

Do I live in Nashville? No. Okay. Female, country artist, under 40. I've met... So I was thinking it was like a Megan Moroni or Ella Langley type whenever I was asking that singer-songwriter question under 40. But before that I was thinking it was like Selena Gomez or Demi Lovato

because they had like the kid shows. And they're famous and their country artist and they're under 40. Okay. Oh, I just kind of want to guess now. I don't know if she's under 40, though. Is she on American Idol right now? No. It's not Carrie Underwood.

Son of a gun. I'm not married? No. Okay, my question? No, that's not my question. Um, I, I mean, do I have, I'm not, I'm athletic E, but I have me, like what? Who? I'm under 40? I'm under 40?

I don't know a lot of. of boys under 40 anymore. Okay. Am I... Oh, no. He's married. Am I... Did I just get arrested?

That's a lot of passion for that question. I'm not even sure who you're referring to. I don't know. But the answer is no. A country music female under 40 years old. Is she married? Hold on, hold on. Let me think about her age right now.

Well, I asked that three questions ago. Is she married? No. Everybody in the room, is this driving you guys crazy that neither one of us can get it? It's kind of fun. Okay. Okay. Do I have a beard?

Yeah, right? Yeah. You have a beard. Do I have blonde hair? Yeah. Do I have brown hair? I'm colorblind, but I'm going to say yes. but Mike, yeah, Eddie, brown hair, dark hair.

Am I Miranda Lambert? She's married. Okay. Back over to you? Do, am I on TMZ? Yeah? Yeah? Okay.

I'm on TMC. What? Oh. No, wait, your turn, because I can get it right now. Okay. What blonde? haired under 40 country singer that I've met female. Was this person married to one of my friends?

No. If it was Kelsey, I don't know. She has performed. Oh, that's true. She's on a show. That's right. That's right. That's right.

I just can't think of any more blonde female country singers that are under 40. Like, I'm out. Well, trust me, I can't think of any. You're going to be so frustrated with yourself when you see yours. You're going to go crazy. It's saying with you. I know. I know.

I'm like, I'm sort of. I have an athletic e and I have a beard and I'm in music. But like is my primary language English? No. Shut up. You got to wait for. I think she's got it. I got to get it right now.

I have to get it right now. I have to get it right now. Okay. Okay. I have to get it for the win right here. Okay. Under 40. Like who would have been in a band singing in our, but she didn't perform in studio?

but I also don't know colors so the hair could be something that I don't even consider blonde okay is it so weird that I haven't got it to you guys well I mean what you're saying is weird I'm saying everything she said what did you say about under 40
