Starting point is 00:02:33 We're all here, we're here, we're here. Hello. Today will not be that bad. Tomorrow will be miserable for me. I just got a couple hours sleep. Went to the Super Bowl last night and it was great. As far as getting to go, the game wasn't good, but it's never about that. I mean, growing up as a kid, that was fictional.
Starting point is 00:02:54 That was Disneyland. I never thought I go to Disneyland because that was something on TV, never thought I go to Super Bowl. So just getting to go to a Super Bowl, regardless of what happens, is a really cool thing. The game sucked because it really wasn't much of a game. I was pretty happy for the passionate Eagles fans. There were a lot of Eagles fans there.
Starting point is 00:03:12 It was 75-25 in the room. No doubt about it. And Chiefs fans, they've won two already. I think, you know, if you're going for three in a row, you're probably, if you're, like, budgeting your money, you're like, we've already won the last two. We're probably not going to go and put it on a credit card to go. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:03:29 There's a lot of Chiefs fans there, even though it was much closer. We've been down to New Orleans since Thursday. Thursday night? Yeah, we've been on the road since we did the show Tuesday morning, got in a bus immediately, took the tour bus down to Atlanta, did a show, did the morning show the next day, did a show on Mobile, Alabama, Wednesday, and then just... It's a blur right now. It's one of those longest road trips ever.
Starting point is 00:04:01 We had a lot of fun, but I think I'm... The most tired, maybe, I've ever been, except for, like, if I was gone for, like, Dancing with the Stars or American Idol, but just because we were just gone so long. I did an Instagram that got, like, 1.2 million views, right, as of right now, of my bathtub in New Orleans. I wonder if you got a chance to see that, Amy. I did.
Starting point is 00:04:23 what were the, was that just rust, I assume, or was it dirt, grime? I'm glad you're asking. Thank you for asking. So I would like to say this first. To everybody in New Orleans that lives there and that is a local, shout out to you, you're very kind, you were very warm. I talked to a lot of locals that were working, that listened to the show. I would go places and they'd be like, Bobby. Now, a whole different environment with tourists, because everybody's drunk. So if you're a tourist and you're in New Orleans, I don't like you very much. If you're a local in New Orleans, a lot of love.
Starting point is 00:04:58 So it was jam-packed, obviously. New Orleans is not a massive city. It's a city about the size that we live in. Big enough, but it's not L.A., New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston. It's not that size. And it's not that Vegas is even massive, but Vegas has a much stronger infrastructure because of how international that city is
Starting point is 00:05:22 and the strip and the hotels. So New Orleans, great city for the Super Bowl, if you can get in and you can get a hotel. Because once you're there, it's all built out perfectly. But it's hard to get in. The airport's not huge. And there aren't a lot of hotels. Massive Airbnb shortage.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Again, because it's not a massive city, semi-limited hotels for an event like the Super Bowl. So I work for the NFL now, which is awesome. and they said, hey, come out to the Super Bowl. We want you to work. And it wasn't an order, but it was a, you're the new guy. We would really like for you to come to work. And really, it was just the lots to say show that Matt Castle and I have.
Starting point is 00:06:07 And I was like, can also bring my other show because we do two. They're like, great, just get out here. So no problem. So we go out. And I was like, last man, I'm new to the NFL. NFL organization, and I was one of the last people probably in their organization. They booked a hotel room for. So I'm sure they just grabbed whatever room was available, and I was happy to have it.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Not only was it for me, they were able to book three rooms. They got my room, and then they got two other rooms, where the guys doubled up. Eddie, your roommate was who? Kick off, Kevin. And Mike? Reed. And so we all very grateful because we had rooms. And I think that's why my bathtub was rusty
Starting point is 00:06:52 Because they got us a room When there were no rooms left And I thought it was poop at first Thankfully it was just rust Because when I saw it I was like Oh my God But it was not again Yeah it was just a rusty bathtub
Starting point is 00:07:05 And the major part of that Instagram story was that I won can't My stomach for some reason is dead It's a recent turn of events Where I can eat nothing I think even if water's a little too spicy it ain't good.
Starting point is 00:07:22 And I'll tell the story later, but we had a driver that recommended this local place to go for a sandwich, and it killed me. It wasn't even spicy. I think it was some sort of olive concoction. And I'm sure it was a local thing
Starting point is 00:07:34 where if you grow up and it's like fried food where I'm from in Arkansas. If you come from somewhere where you're not used to deep fried southern food, it's going to wreck you if you're sensitive. And so that's kind of what happened. And I was really sick for a day.
Starting point is 00:07:47 I was kind of sick for two days. and when I, my stomach's been hurted me at home, what I do is I get in a hot bath. I like baths anyway, but I get in a hot bath. And I got in and I saw all the rust on the bathtub. And the room wasn't as bad as that bathtub was. But I thought, this would be a funny video. I tell the story.
Starting point is 00:08:06 You do one of those videos with a whole lot of words and you make it short, so it repeats as well because people can't read it all in one setting. And the funniest thing was, and I don't want to say who. I kind of want to say who, because I kind of want to say who, because it's a midflex, and I don't mind mid, I don't mind flex then. I won't say who. But I got a text from somebody
Starting point is 00:08:26 that's, I would say, pretty famous. And it was right after I posted that video on my bathtub. And this is what he writes to me. JFC, that bathtub. Are you in the Hilton by any chance? which by the way amy you know what jfc means hmm
Starting point is 00:08:51 Jesus Christ yeah Jesus freak oh got it dang that is a little much well hey I don't use it but it was yeah but yeah
Starting point is 00:09:04 JFC okay that bathtub and I said no that would be luxury I'm in the blank I said I think it's NFL employee Ricky Hazing and then he said holy
Starting point is 00:09:16 F. And I felt seen in that moment. And so the room really wasn't that bad. The bathtub could have been better. The bathtub was so shallow. Like I got all the way in and it went up and I'm sitting in the bathtub. Mid thighs sitting down.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Not standing up. Think about Amy sitting on your butt and the water only getting to mid thigh up the side of them. That's pretty shallow bathtub. That is, yes. That's like I'm sitting in the sink. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Um, so had the bathtub deal. Didn't feel great, but we got to, you know, hang with a lot of cool people. Not even hang. Work. Because again, I didn't even do much hanging. I wasn't feeling good after a couple days. Uh, but as far as like getting to like interview folks, we had awesome guests. Got a chance to like hang out.
Starting point is 00:10:06 And I saw Dion Sanders a few months ago at the softball game. He was my coach. And Dion Sanders and I worked together for months doing a TV. pilot that failed. No, it just didn't get picked up. I wouldn't say failed because it did get sent to pilot and they spent a bunch of money on the pilot, but they ended up not picking it up. But we spent days and days and days and days working together. Weeks and weeks and weeks, every day working together. So we definitely had a relationship. And I can say that all I want. And people can believe me or not. But I think it's the first time that Eddie ever saw Dion and I together since then,
Starting point is 00:10:39 other than watching us on the field, but Eddie got to like watch us like hang out to where I did feel a bit vindicated for people that didn't believe that we were friends. You know what, man. Like, I believed you guys were friendly with each other. But the way he acted around you was like, wow, like he really likes Bobby. The first thing he said when he sat down was like, Bobby, this is my dude. And he told his people, do not rush this interview. I want to take my time with my friend Bobby here.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Aw. It was awesome. Yeah. And he has a sunglass brand. And we did a, you know how they do a jersey. swap? And he was like, we'll switch glasses. But it turns out, I can't see. So he was like, okay, we'll switch back and I'll just send you a pair of prescription of these. So it was great. So I spent some time. But I saw him backstage the night before briefly at NFL honors, which
Starting point is 00:11:33 Fox had me present an award. And so at the very beginning, and they're like, bring a date. Of course, my date, super hot, Eddie. So we get to the theater. It's a stacked room if you love sports. It's the most fun people watching I've ever had. We're a bit jaded in our industry because we see artists all the time and go to award shows. And that has become quite normal after 13 years here.
Starting point is 00:12:05 But in the theater, at an NFL away, award show not only was all the current players but it was all the greats we sat i sat with with court warner all night and just sat with them and talked with him and his wife we sat right behind joe burrow and jemar chase and we were the as they were doing the joe burrow roast jokes my head is right there and so i i knew it so i had to like react with the jokes if they were funny or not because i don't want to be the guy that wasn't paying attention around my phone so you see a bunch of memes of like just my head behind joe burrow because they put us in the second row because they to grab me to send me backstage to present an award.
Starting point is 00:12:41 But I did see Dion there. And I think it's not my drama to share, but there was some big drama with an NFL player where he was supposed to present and he left because of some seeding drama. Seeding drama. And we were front row for that drama. It was something that happens in like third grade.
Starting point is 00:13:01 At a third grade recital where a parent's like, I should sit here. And the player and his whole family left. and he was going to be up doing something as a part of the show and just didn't do it. I couldn't believe that happened right there. I couldn't believe it happened on such a big show. But the show was great. I can get to see all of it because I was kind of moving around.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I did see Bill Belichick and his girlfriend for the first time that night. Bill Belichick, coach of the Patriots, has seven Super Bowl rings, six as a head coach, one as a coordinator. I believe he has seven total, and he had them all on, and him and Snoop Dog were taking pictures. I was in the picture line right after them backstage, and so he had all his rings on, like, hanging them over Snoop's shoulders.
Starting point is 00:13:47 It was kind of funny to watch them interact. I didn't jump in the picture. I thought it'd be funny if I did, but then they'd be like, who was this guy? Get him out of here. But Bill Belichick's girlfriend's 24. I think he's 70.
Starting point is 00:13:59 72. Amy, it's weird. It's already weird. It's already, that age thing, and who cares? Love is love. And I'm not saying they, shouldn't be together or there should be a law passed. It just was in person.
Starting point is 00:14:14 It was weird to see. On the internet, it's odd. And you're like, wow, I can't believe that. In person, it hits different. It looks like grandpa and granddaughter. And you know what? If they love each other, have at it. I hope they are so happy for as long as they are.
Starting point is 00:14:33 But it doesn't mean I can't say that it doesn't look a bit odd. on the internet, but you would have thought it was grandpa and granddaughter. You'd have thought it was grandpa bringing his really attractive granddaughter out to find an NFL player that she could hopefully find and marry. Like, you'd have thought that was kind of the theme. Like Sean Payton brought his daughter. Sean Payton's probably 58. I don't know, he's a coach of the Broncos,
Starting point is 00:14:57 has been the coach of the Saints. He brought his daughter. And it wasn't near as dramatic. Him and his daughter is Bill Belichick and his girlfriend. It's crazy. So finish that show. I presented with Kyle Ushcheck, who plays fullback for the 49ers. We presented to George Kittle, who is the tight end,
Starting point is 00:15:19 who won the salute to service of the work he does of military. And I was talking to George backstage, and I get George Kittles mail sometimes. What do you mean? It's literal male. He lives real close to me, but we don't know each other because he's always gone. And his mail's been dropped off in my house before. That's how I know where he lives.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I told him that. And he was like, that's funny. He's like, glad it's you and not somebody else. So that's the first time we've ever met. And I was like, bro, the FedEx guy told me that because he dropped your package off, so I know where you live. And I was like, isn't there some kind of like oath, some kind of like oath, or some sort of like, what is it when you, HIPAA?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Like some sort of. And it's not FedEx specifically. specifically, but is there some sort of like FedEx oath where you shouldn't tell where other people live? But he is cool. I think we're friends now. I don't know. Jared Allen, who plays for the Vikings, got put in the Hall of Fame that night. Jared Allen lived, he lives over here near me, but he came on the sports show a few weeks ago. And I didn't know he was so sensitive about not being in the Hall of Fame. I thought he should have been in the Hall of Fame for a long time, great player. And we started the show, lots to say with me just in the interview being like, I can't
Starting point is 00:16:33 believe you're in the Hall of Fame. This sucks. You're not in the Hall of Fame. I didn't know enough to not start that way, which was great because it ended up being great, but he was super passionate about, I really was hurtful to him that he's not in the Hall of Fame. And he got in this year, so that was super cool, went and talked to him.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And the first thing that I said when I got over to him was, again, he's just been putting the Hall of Fame. And I go, do you guys see those drones above our houses? That's really all we talked about. I could have went Hall of Fame, but mostly it was like, you've seen these drones are everywhere, man. Did he?
Starting point is 00:17:05 Had he? They're so big that I don't think people know their... I think people think they're airplanes. They're just hanging out above the house. So they're going to keep an eye out. They've seen drones, but they haven't been watching for them like I have. So did that. It's a great night.
Starting point is 00:17:22 There's probably so much. I don't even know what I'm forgetting. We had tickets to something called the Commissioner's dinner. Way too fancy for us. Probably shouldn't have been invited. You had to wear a suit to it. and it was where all the owners had their own booth, but basically everybody's mingling around.
Starting point is 00:17:40 A lot of Hall of Famers and their gold jackets. I actually met met Bill Belichick that night because the guy we were with Matt Castle played for him. So we did that. And then I wasn't feeling great. And Eddie and I did a whole lap around a couple times. It was just way too rich and too substantial for us. Like we really didn't fit in.
Starting point is 00:18:03 So we're like, let's just, you know, He slowly mosey on out of here. So we did. It was super nice. We just didn't know anybody. And we didn't really, I don't know if, how would I describe this? We just weren't fancy enough, I don't think, for that room. Thoughts, Eddie?
Starting point is 00:18:23 It smelled like money in there. You know? Not literally, but like. Old money, too. Like people that have money forever or they were an NFL or former NFL player. Totally. So Bobby and I, like, we would just kind of like, oh, look, there's a Super Bowl trophy. Let's go hang out by that.
Starting point is 00:18:36 We did go take a picture with the trophy, yeah. Just little things like that because really, Amy, there was no one. We didn't know anyone there. You couldn't even small talk with anyone because we really knew no one. Yeah, and they all talked like, oh, how did the 401K start going with the S&P 500? We were like, first down? I don't know. Is that NASCAR?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. We went up to the trophy and you could take a picture with the Lombardi trophy, which is the exact trophy, the one they gave away last night at the Super Bowl. and so you could walk up to it behind this red velvet rope and stand beside it obviously couldn't touch it because you'd fingerprint the crap out of it and they'd take a picture of you next to it. The only problem was the guy taking the picture
Starting point is 00:19:17 was like a 64-year-old white dude who had no idea how to use an iPhone. So he's like, yeah, I'll take it and he's like, okay. I posted it but I used like, I think Tokyo filter so I could hide everything. They should have had someone
Starting point is 00:19:33 that knew how to like take pictures there, But all in all, it was a cool event. We just weren't really cool enough for the event. And the whole weekend was great. It's pretty exhausting. But just because we were on the road Tuesday night doing all the live shows. Our bus when we got to New Orleans, because we finished the show on Mobile on Wednesday and drove overnight.
Starting point is 00:19:54 We woke up in New Orleans in a bus. If you go to my Instagram, it's a slide from when we first got there. And the first of it, it's Mike opening a padlock. Amy, we're like underneath an overrun. pass in a park in a lot with barbed wire fence around us. Y'all were safe, right? It looked because you're locked in there. Okay, but did you?
Starting point is 00:20:14 No, I mean, I get that it looked sketchy, but I was like, at least they're locked in. Like, it didn't seem like someone was going to be able to get in and get y'all. Like, it seemed like if somebody tried, a Doberman pincher was going to appear or something. Yeah, but we didn't own the Doberman. If they wanted to, like, cut through the gate, you know, a little pair of clip clips could put you right through. I woke up and was like, oh, wow, look where we are. It was like if we were put in prison and they put a prison around us to surround us from
Starting point is 00:20:43 the rest of the prison. And you're like, look how safe you are. You're in prison, but look at all the barbed wires surrounding it. And you're like, yeah, but it's still prison. You know, you don't know what's coming. It is wild. You have to understand, Amy, like we did sleep all night and you woke up. Like, oh, you know you're in New Orleans.
Starting point is 00:20:59 And you wake up. You're like, Marty, girl, baby. Let's party. Woo! And we're in like an impound lot. It is crazy. There's a bus on bricks next to us. Yes, literally.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And Matt, because again, we didn't have enough hotel rooms. Thankfully, the NFL, again, found us rooms for us. Like I said, there were no rooms. Matt still stayed in the bus the whole time for like five days in that same spot. And he ended up bringing extra cars in to park in there around him to look like more people were there with them. How do you bring in extra cars? He rented the car. Somebody else had a car.
Starting point is 00:21:30 And he just had him leave him there. So it looked like there were more people on the bus with them. So you mentioned Mobile, which made me think of a DM that I got from a listener. So I pulled it up. And they said, hey, Amy, funny story. I live in Mobile. And the day I was heading to the venue where Bobby and Eddie were going to play without a ticket, just hoping I'd run into them, I saw an eagle fly right in front of me. Then I met both of them and got a free ticket to the show.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I believe in Amy the Psychic. No, she should believe in me at the coffee shop being like, hey, do you want to come to the show? Do you know who this is? Yes, I'm 99% positive because I met, we went in Mobile that morning, we just Google, closest coffee shop, we go
Starting point is 00:22:13 and I think five of our group went, and a bunch of listeners and some of them were going to the show and this one girl comes up and goes, hey, huge fan, so you come to the show, she was no, I didn't get tickets. I said, awesome, well, I'll get you tickets. That was not psychic, that was me, do you want tickets to the show? No, Bunce, you missed the part where she saw
Starting point is 00:22:29 the eagle. I bet she said, saw me and I'm generous. It's more like, I don't think she's saying I'm legit psychic, but she's saying there's something to the whole eagle thing. It's like a vibe. It's like you see an eagle and something good is going to happen. I won't accept it. Because I was seeing the eagle soaring towards the sun and that led to
Starting point is 00:22:47 the Eagles winning. I would say there's something to her happening to be at the same coffee shop and then seeing this eagle, me, kind and generous me, who flew a ticket into her hand. How about that? Sure, whatever you want to say. So we're here.
Starting point is 00:23:05 We're good. It's a rough one. I posted an Instagram story last night. It was like 1.30 in the morning. Hey, back in Nashville. It won't be a rerun. So let's go. Glad everybody's here.
Starting point is 00:23:16 We're going to have a good show today. Tomorrow may be a little suspect. But today we're going to go hard. Thank you for being here. Let's go. There's a voicemail we got last night. Go ahead. Hey, Bobby.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I was just looking for advice. I was recently fired because I was questioning management and I'm looking for a new job and I was just wondering how to answer the question why did you leave your last job I don't want to seem like I'm defiant any advice would be great thank you so much questioning management is so vague because if you're just questioning management in a way that they think is productive I don't think there's anything wrong with that questioning management can also just mean you're questioning them as why they're bothering you because you suck at your job I mean this is so much there so
Starting point is 00:24:01 I guess I would need to know more, but how would I, what would be my euphemism for being fired? It is the question here. I would say that you and the company had different long-term goals for you. And whenever you guys were talking about the future, they did not meet. They were not parallel with each other. So you made a decision to, dude, you got fired. I mean, she just got fired. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:30 She's probably like, that's what I would say, though. We had a discussion. We weren't in alignment. And we weren't in alignment on my future at the company, just because that's how you have to do it. And what are the odds that that employer calls the old company? An old company cannot say she was a bad employee. They can only say she did work here. No.
Starting point is 00:24:52 They can't say she was terminated. They can say we can look on the legalities of this. I believe legally, let's say I fired Amy. well there's a difference in let go fired laid off there are all these little terms that make it different right I believe if you call for a reference and you're like is this person good I think the only thing they can say is she worked here you can say nothing bad oh um so oh this is tough I feel like the if they use few words it's sort of context clues that they weren't great so there have been lawsuits on this now legally the company can't say you're a bad worker, but the statements are, they have to be factually accurate and able to be proven. So that's, how are you going to prove it? Well, if you're chronically late and you have like a,
Starting point is 00:25:41 you punch in. There are generally no federal laws. Specific state laws may apply. Different states are different. But, ooh, that's tricky. So I think that's why most people just go, yeah, they work here. Because if you go, yeah, they suck. Well, then you need to prove they sucked or they'll sue you for keeping them from getting another job. Yeah, for me, I would have never say it because, you know, if they find out, I said something bad about them, they come retaliation. Her biggest fear of retaliation for everything. Everything, I tell you.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I would say this, I would say we had our quarterly review and it looked like that our goals did not align and they knew there wasn't a future for me based on what my goals were. Like, that's the cheating way to get around that one. That sounds close enough to, I quite, I quite, I, question them. And every closed door is an open window. And then you sing, I hope you dance by Leanne Womack. And you call it a day.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Yeah. Be like, if I had stayed there, I wouldn't have this opportunity to meet with you. Yeah. And work for this wonderful company. It's going to feel like you're fired. Yeah. You just say. One man's trash is another man's server.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Dude, say that. That's hilarious. Like, what happened? Well, I'd like to lead with this. Yeah. Ever heard of the expression? One man's trash is another man's treasure? I'm your treasure.
Starting point is 00:26:57 There we go. Might have been their trash, but I'm your treasure. Yeah, you got to really buff that dent out by saying you had a meeting and your goals didn't align. So you thought it was best to move in a new direction. That's tough. But you probably got fired, huh? What do you think she did? It stole.
Starting point is 00:27:17 She said she questioned the managers. I don't know that that's bad to say. That like, hey, I... I wouldn't say that either. If somebody said that to me, even if it were... true, I'd feel like there's something misleading about that. But that's the truth. Yeah, but not all truths.
Starting point is 00:27:34 But don't you want someone that will question you? Yes, but not all truths are going to get your goal. All truths could be true, but if you come and I'm interviewing you and you're like, I'm like, hey, Amy, what happened? Like, how was your last job? It's like, I got fired because I questioned their authority or whatever it was. It'd be like you're dating somebody new and they're trash and their ex. Even if their ex was a dirtbag, like I don't want to hear it because I don't know if it's true
Starting point is 00:27:54 and you may be doing this to me. I circle back to the, yeah, we just, we were in an alignment. Because if you're questioning, I circle back to one man's trash and the man's treasure. Well, yeah, you can say that eventually. I'll lead with that. That's awesome. Good luck. You'll be fine. You'll bounce back on your feet. And you have to, if you're going to question authority,
Starting point is 00:28:12 be prepared. Be prepared to be fired. Yes. But that's okay. If you feel in integrity, then that job wasn't for you. Thank you. Hello, Bobby Bones. I recently started a new job. and every day the entire office goes out for lunch. Based on the way they're chatting when they come back to the office,
Starting point is 00:28:44 I assume they all go to the same place together. For the last two weeks, I was the only person in the office at lunchtime. No one has addressed the fact that the new guy is alone or mentioned anything to me about their lunch gathering. I really feel left out. Should I say something or just hope they eventually warm up to me and then maybe they invite me to lunch, signed the newbie. Amy, you want to go?
Starting point is 00:29:09 I saw you kind of look. Well, I don't know that you say anything like I'm feeling left out, but maybe you just see if you can join in. Like, hey, what? You won't know if you don't try. That's what I mean. Don't do it in a needy way, though. You just show up where they are.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Oh, guys. You definitely can't say I feel left out. But this makes me think of the very popular theory right now, especially because her book just came out, Mel Robbins. It's the let them theory. And you kind of just have to let them go. but also if you don't say you want to be invited, they'll never know. You may not want to be invited.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Okay, well, you just said he's lonely. I know. Find friends not at work. Look, just go and do your thing. Have your own plans. Eventually you'll make a friend at work. But don't feel lonely because people you don't know aren't inviting you to something you don't know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:29:59 That's true. Like you are completely imagining some utopian scenario where they're all at lunch, talking secrets of the trade, living life. I've been a new kid at school like four times. It sucks. And usually the people that I made friends with earliest when I was a new kid in school, one of the people I have stayed friends with. So I will tell you that, yep, it does feel like you're lonely.
Starting point is 00:30:21 At times afterward, you can feel a bit ostracized too. Like I'm not part of the group. I stick out. You just keep your head down, keep working. If you can have fun and manage yourself without worrying about anybody else, you're the winner. You may not want to be a part of that group anyway. And when you pull yourself away,
Starting point is 00:30:35 then you're going to be the guy that was too cool to be in the group. So just keep pushing forward. Don't feel lonely. Seed lunch on your own as good you time. And eventually if you want to be friends with them, because you'll make friends with one or two of them. And you can actually ask in a very organic way. Right now, not the time.
Starting point is 00:30:54 You'll be the weirdo. If you're like to go. Or, hey, what are you guys doing? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Okay. If for some reason you make a friend with one of them,
Starting point is 00:31:06 which you may, of proximity reasons, you can ask, but you don't want to be the new guy who's like all up in the business. Because they won't, they'll already turn on you quick. So I would encourage you just keep doing you. And yeah, let them go to lunch and who cares? Yeah. I agree with that part. But then also, sometimes we get all built up and worked up that like we're not included in something, but we never did anything to reach out to them. Maybe you don't invite yourself like you, maybe you come up with a lunch and invite them. Hey guys, I'm thinking about going over here for lunch today. I would just say let it happen organically.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Otherwise, you're going to end up not liking them. A rift can be created. Just live your life. I'm sure they felt the same way when they moved there and they were working in that new job and everybody was going to lunch without them. And also, don't imagine it's some dream scenario where you're hanging out, you don't get to hang out with awesome people. I'm sure they're lame too.
Starting point is 00:31:58 They're probably sitting there not talking to each other. Now they probably have a good time. Yeah, just chill out, do your own thing. Eventually it'll work itself out. You're the new person. It's always awkward to be new. you don't know the rules you don't really know the culture
Starting point is 00:32:12 you'll figure it out and probably realize they weren't for you anyway all right just keep going buddy a win is a win a win a win I don't care what you're saying yep that's me clipper taylor the fourth you might have seen the skits the reactions my journey
Starting point is 00:32:27 from basketball to college football or my career in sports media well somewhere along the way this platform became bigger than I ever imagined and now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plan. 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
Starting point is 00:33:47 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 like. 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?
Starting point is 00:34:33 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.
Starting point is 00:35:04 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. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, you already know there's a lot to break down. Georgia accusing Kelly of sleeping with a merry man. They holding Kay Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues.
Starting point is 00:35:29 I like the bougie style of Housewives show. I think it looks like it's going to be interesting. On the podcast, Reality with the King, I, Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real Housewives franchise, the drama, the alliances, and the T, everybody's talking about. As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it. I understand the game. As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this.
Starting point is 00:35:56 At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. To hear this and more, listen to Reality with the King on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, we have Presley on who wants us to settle a debate between her and her husband. Presley, good morning. Welcome to the show. Good morning, studio. Morning. All right, Presley, what's up?
Starting point is 00:36:19 So, basically, am I picked? So when you go through a drive-thru and you have takeout, you eat it immediately, three wait until you get home. So my husband won't even touch a fry, but I mean, I'll eat a burger and drive with my niece. And he thinks I just have no patience whatsoever. But I want to eat it when I caught, right? or am i crazy it's interesting
Starting point is 00:36:42 that one of the options are eat it all in your car as you drive home i would understand eating it to go to another place sometimes i have to eat lunch in my car if i'm going point a to b but not home also if i am going home i may have a couple fries so i'm okay with that but never do i think i ordered it i'm going home i need to eat it in the car on the way home i will often get it and drive home and eat it comfortably
Starting point is 00:37:06 unless I guess I'm ravenous and just so hungry. Presley doesn't sound super safe. How you're eating, by the way? The knees. Not that we haven't done it, but I can't encourage it. But I would think for the most part, an occasional friar two is okay. I can also understand not wanting to touch it until we get home because it's like we got this food. We love.
Starting point is 00:37:27 It's going to be an experience which we sit at the table and eat it. I wouldn't, if I'm going home, I'm not going to eat it until I get home. That would be what I would say, Amy. Yeah, I eat it when I get home. I think, yeah, I'll dabble if it's something like there is a chip or a fry or something I can just dig in and like have a little snacky snack, but I'm going to eat the meal when I get home. And again, if you're going somewhere else and that is your point to eat. Yeah. I get it.
Starting point is 00:37:49 But it's hilarious to go, wait, let's go get some takeout to go home and eat it. Then just eat it in the car. Or also, how about this? Since he doesn't want to eat it, how about he drives while you eat your burger? Oh, good point. So you don't have to drive. I'm not going to hate Presley on your style because it's an original style. I'm here for people to do original things.
Starting point is 00:38:07 But I personally wrecked while eating food. So maybe that's also why I choose to wait until I get home. And then you threw it in the glove box to not be ticketed for eating. Well, no, I was just embarrassed. I didn't, I didn't know. Police weren't involved. I just didn't want the person that I hit to know that it was because of my toast. Huh.
Starting point is 00:38:25 My jelly toast. It wasn't at all that you hit them and the police could have been called. And, ma'am, why were you distracted? And you're like, Wonderbreads or. Yeah. I don't know. I think it was just my. It happened so fast.
Starting point is 00:38:37 That was just my reaction. Throw the toast in the console. I just wanted to jelly in the console, though is what I would think. Yeah, again, didn't think it all the way through. It's why when I get angry, I don't like break stuff. I don't even get angry that often, but like I never have the part of me where I'm like,
Starting point is 00:38:49 oh, punch a hole in the wall, slam a TV. Mostly, aside from really not experiencing rage, I don't want to have to deal with a broken TV or a hole in the wall. Like I can, I guess, think rationally in that way. I wouldn't throw my toast on the glove box because I would be like, I don't want to have to clean the glove box. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:05 It's funny. We had an intern once. Lunchbox she had made us some kind of French toast or something. No, different one. Oh, that was a different one. Man, we had multiple interns from that. We had one that got into a wreck and she was like bringing us French toast or something, right? And she threw it in her glove box as well.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah. So she wouldn't go to ticket. Hopefully she didn't learn that trick from me. It may have been pre-you, that very brief period before you were with us. What was the Crockpot one? Oh, she ran into the workwall. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was Willid Uber.
Starting point is 00:39:34 And it was a stinky We were That was a funny bit, dude I hated the bit. Here's why. The bit was hilarious. We were trying to Uber really weird or gross things across town
Starting point is 00:39:44 to go, will it Uber? Except we use my Uber account and so my stars went way down. I couldn't get a good Uber anymore. So, but Presley, how do you feel about our judgment in a fun way
Starting point is 00:39:59 of you eating probably a little too quick? I just was interested to hear other people's opinions because I mean, you know, we're married, so he thinks I'm not patient anyway. But, I mean, I won't say I eat it every time I go for the whole entire meal. But the fact that he won't even just like take a few fries, like I'm definitely, my fries are gone before I get home. Like, I might not always go for the whole entire burger, but I'll eat all of the fries. I'll set off the dip. Like, I'm, this sounds like I'm like, this sounds like I'm 4-11. Like,
Starting point is 00:40:33 120 pounds. Like, I'm not, it's not like I just, I have an eating problem. I just, I guess I just have no patience. Yeah, no, I really didn't think an eating problem. It was a patient's, not even an issue. I think it's your style. You go for it, you do your thing. None of us do that, though, I don't think. I like to get home. I may have a fryer or two, but I'm not pulling a full burger out. I've never set up a dip. I'm going up a dip. I'm going home to eat chips in case. But if you're going to a meeting. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a dip. in this elbow. I'm paying credit. I'm off my credit card with this knee. I got food in this hand. You want to know how bad it is with me? Why? My wife holds the dip. So like she'll have the
Starting point is 00:41:13 ketchup dip and I'll be driving. I'll get a fry, dip it as she holds it and I'll eat it. That's just how we've always done it. I don't mind that. Because you want to eat it. It's almost like an appetizer. Let's treat it like an appetizer. Okay. Lunchbox, what do you do? Oh, I eat it right away. The whole burger. The whole burger. Because he wanted to be warm. By the time you get home, it's cold. Decent point. I don't know if you guys have this, but I have a microwave. It's not the same.
Starting point is 00:41:40 It doesn't taste. It's soggy. I'd rather have a slightly microwaved, or you can oven it if it does it not make it soggy, which I never do that, than having to eat it right then in the car because I'm not comfortable. I like to be comfortable. I like to be in my shorts, my cut off.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Presley, thank you so much. I think you should stay married, okay? Okay, absolutely. And that's love, Eddie. Hold it. That's perfect. That is love. That's marriage.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Also, let him drive if you're going to eat. Fair point. Fair point. All right, Preston. Thank you for listening. Thank you guys. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Jerry Looney is a mailman from Topeka.
Starting point is 00:42:16 And last year he was on his route. He's delivering letters. He's opening mailboxes and some guy runs up. He's covered in blood. Help me, help me. What's Jerry do? He's like, oh my gosh, where are you bleeding from? He sees where he's injured.
Starting point is 00:42:28 He cuts his shirt, makes a tourniquet and calls 911. And he sits there and prays with a man while 911 gets there. They saved the guy's life because they said that if Jerry wouldn't have done a tourniquet, he could have bled out. Dang. So now, a year later, the National Association of Letter Carriers, it's a real thing. They're awarding him with an award. We weren't going to challenge you on if it was real or not. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:42:51 They're awarding him the Hero of the Year award. And he's going to go to D.C. is going to be a huge ceremony. And he's going to have to pay for nothing. That's, that part's massive. It's free. That's a great story. Good. You know, we see these stories all the time.
Starting point is 00:43:06 I know. And we're like, oh, it's a hero. But this is certified hero. Jerry is a hero of the year. To be calm and to be able to do that, I think is that I think I would just be screaming, crying, kicking. Both of you guys. Yeah. No, I don't forget.
Starting point is 00:43:21 I have a tourniquet in my car if y'all ever needed it. Okay. Like a legit tourniquet. We'll remember that. We will remember that for sure. Okay, thank you. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
Starting point is 00:43:33 These are flowers not to give your wife or girlfriend on Valentine's Day for different reasons. Which, by the way, I'm about to check in with all you guys and see where you are. And if there's a super surprise you have, you don't have to say what it is. But I have a feeling that the guys on the show have prepared none. Amy, just my raw guess. Yeah. So Valentine's Day is coming up. Do not get her sneeze weed.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Oh, gosh. It's... That one just... Yeah. If there's a sign that says sale on sneeze weed, I'd probably stay away from that in general. Don't get her humped bladder wart. Don't get her corn cockle. These are real flowers.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Yeah, says don't give your love these flowers on Valentine's Day. Don't give her pussy toes. I think that those are pretty, though. Excuse me? Are they? I don't know what any flower is other than a rose and a sunflower, I think. I know a tulip Are tulips yellow?
Starting point is 00:44:36 Tulips can be multiple colors They can be different ones Let's go around the room here with the guys Oh boy Again if you have some crazy big surprise You don't have to spoil it You can just say got a crazy big surprise Although you're lying
Starting point is 00:44:48 But let's go to Lunchbox first Lunchbox Valentine's Day is coming up Yeah I guess I should probably think about that I haven't been thinking about that at all I mean Maybe it's a super secret surprise That I can come pull out of a hat But right now
Starting point is 00:45:01 I got nothing on the agenda, man. I don't have anything planned at all. It is Friday. So you're not going to be able at this point to get a really great reservation at even, you know, one of your favorite places that you normally go to. So that's out. Unless you want to go at like 10 o'clock or you want to grab some pussy toes and eat at 4 p.m. So that's not going to work. Yeah, I probably won't get flowers till at least the next day.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Right. Because they'll be on sale. You go on Valentine's Day. You'll pay triple the price. You might as well wait until the 15th. get some and she'll be just as happy can't agree with that second part and valentine's day again not super important to everybody i'm not thinking it should be but i think there should be some sort of hey i know this day's valentine's day here's a little something at minimal right mostly too
Starting point is 00:45:47 it work if everybody's like getting the flowers and getting love and your wife's the one that's not like that kind of sucks for her eddie let's go to you you've been married for how long oh gosh almost 20 years 19 years um and there's no surprise it's just what we do every year We go get some sushi, a bottle of wine, and then we put the kids to bed early, and then we just stay up late, her and I, watch a movie maybe, a little romantic movie? Yeah, that's satisfactory. Oh, that's what we do almost every year, and she loves it. And I ask her after every, every time, was this cool? Like, are you cool with this?
Starting point is 00:46:18 She's like, oh, this is great. I think it's great, too, to build a tradition because then you don't have to think of something every year. Like, that's the million dollar play right there. Do you always do restaurants? No, but we have for the most. part. I shall not reveal mine until after Valentine's Day, as I do. It's my
Starting point is 00:46:37 love language, though. I'm not trying to impress anybody, but I'm not the greatest. What are some of the other, like, my love language is efficiency. But that's not a real love language. No, it is, it is, it is. But what are some of them, Amy? Touch. Yeah, I'm not a big toucher.
Starting point is 00:46:53 I love to get gifts. Like, that's what this is for me. It's an opportunity to show my love through the love language that I choose. But your wife's is quality time and words. of affirmation. Words of affirmation I kind of suck at. Like I say stuff, but these are not the one she wants to hear. And then there's acts of service.
Starting point is 00:47:10 What's the difference in that like quality time? Acts of service. Okay, so let me tell you the exact difference. Quality time will be just making time to be together. Like, are you being intentional about that? Acts of service might be like, you know your wife loves to wake up and have coffee or hot lemon water or whatever and you get up before her and you go and you put on the pot of water and you make it and you take it to her and you're like here's your hot lemon water because
Starting point is 00:47:34 I know you love it and you could walk away after that that's an act of service it's not quality time I feel like that's a gift well no it's not a gift it's an active service or you know all that service was like being a mailman for a day or something yeah you know she I'm gonna go and serve some people going to wait tables for the evening yeah you know her car needs to be vacuumed out and that she hates doing that but you go vacuum it out I'm just telling you an active service Okay, so mine is, my love language is giving gifts. It's also getting gifts, my love language that I like to receive in. But I will not share it, but I've been planning mine for about six weeks.
Starting point is 00:48:10 The trouble is, what's difficult for me is it is like Caitlin Palooza because Christmas, December 25th. Her birthday, first week of January. Valentine's Day, February 14th. So it's like, I got to batten down the hatches and get ready because it's, it's boom, boom, boom. boom, and I like doing it, but man, I wish you was spread out a little more. Because it's tough to be awesome that many times that quick. But you know what? It's a job I signed up for.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I will let you guys know after Valentine's Day what mine is. But I promise you, and I say this, and I mean it, sincerely, I am not getting her pussy toast. I was thinking about it before this, but I'm not anymore. Okay. And for everybody out there, just a reminder, again, you can go Valentine's Day stupid. I get it. I would still do just a little something. even if you do nothing usually a little something
Starting point is 00:48:59 just so she feels special it listen it's a stupid day made up by stupid companies but that doesn't mean that her feelings aren't going to be hurt if something doesn't happen you know what my friend did she ordered this cute little pottery at home like at home pottery kit and that's what she's gonna her and her husband are going to do for Valentine's Day like she ordered it
Starting point is 00:49:24 it was pretty inexpensive, but they now have an activity to do. They don't have to go out. They're staying home. And they're going to have a cute little memory from, you know, February 14, 2025, whatever little piece of pottery they put together. Isn't that cute? How do you feel about her getting and organizing the activity? Oh, that's fine because she just loves planning ahead and doing that. And he loves art and activities. They do like painting together at home and they're real into crafts. So I, I, I, I guess. I'm okay with it too. I guess I hadn't thought of that far, but she already
Starting point is 00:49:58 took the rain, so that's what they're doing. And the reason I'm okay with it too is because he's probably doing something normally wouldn't do, but he's doing it for her. If she's ordering it, he's still doing it for her. Yeah. Okay. Hey, happy Valentine's everybody. Can I wait to hear what you guys do. Lunchbox is really excited about what you got going on this year, buddy. Oh, thank you, man. It's going to be epic.
Starting point is 00:50:14 Epic, yes, it is. Okay. Amy, what happened? So I was at a basketball game and ran into some parents that I know. their kid was playing on the other team that I was there for. And they started talking about how their son stayed home from school because he wasn't feeling well. Yet then he showed up at the game to play. And I didn't say anything to the parents,
Starting point is 00:50:37 but my face definitely indicated that I was confused by their complete disregard for other kids' health and well-being. Because I'm like, well, now what if he gets his teammates sick? Also, it's basketball. There's lots of contact. Like you get someone else on the other team. sick. It just seemed very irresponsible and I was super annoyed and they were almost just acting like, it's no big deal. I'm like, this is a big deal. Like people are getting sick left and right.
Starting point is 00:51:00 This is annoying. Well, first, on this show, if you have any sickness, illness at all, I don't want you coming in because you get anybody else sick. It's different with sports. Oh, what? Yeah. It's different with sports. Why? Because if you're going to hurt your team more by being gone than you would being sick, even if you're playing it. 60% you got to show up and play because they're relying on you but what about it is so hypocritical them i know it's so hypocritical or someone from the other team gets sick you've heard of the flu game no michael jordan they say it's bad pizza no i don't think so i if you're sick or you're hurt and you can go and you're going to help your team more than you're going to hurt your team by
Starting point is 00:51:47 missing you show up when you play the game this is middle school basketball this is not the NBA. But it's where culture starts. It's you're 12. I know I'm such a hypocrite. But if I were sick, I would not want to be around to any of you to get you sick unless we were playing some kind of morning show beach volleyball tournament. I'd be there for you guys. It didn't matter what I had. If had the runs, I would be there. Okay, but that's maybe not contagious. Like, if it is. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what the contagious is. In sports, I'm going to play. It does not matter. I give no regards to anybody else. Wow. My team the other team. I've signed up on this team to win. And if I'm a vital part of that,
Starting point is 00:52:27 we only have, let's say, 18 games a year or high school football. We had 10 plus the playoffs. I'm going to be there. What if you're not a vital part? You can skip it? Yeah. If I'm just going to sit the bench the whole time. No, I'm not even joking. If I'm sitting the bench the whole time, I'm not going to go because I might get other people sick. But if me missing could cost the team the game. Oh my gosh. That is really thinking. highly of yourself or if you're a parent thinking highly of your kid. It's not if you know what their role and their impact is on the team. I'm not just talking about me specifically.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Yeah, but what if you're taking away a chance of your kid being gone and then another kid getting time to shine? Time to shine means he sucks and he doesn't get time to shine because usually he's on the bench. No, because hello, we talk about Wally Pip. That's not how we talk about Wally Pip. No, no, if someone doesn't get taken out of the game. And you don't want to compare that to Wally Pip because that means your kid never gets to
Starting point is 00:53:21 play again because the kid it wasn't sick just took a job forever. That's just, hey, it's meant to be. Think of how happy the other kids' parents are. Now they're kids like the star. In sports, if you are a part of the team, a vital part of the team, and you're sick, and you can still play to the level of you're contributing. You need to go and show up for the game. No, because now you're going to go get someone from the other team or your team sick.
Starting point is 00:53:45 They go home, they get their parents sick, and then maybe their grandparent lives with them and they have a frail immunity, and now their grandpa dies. And it's all because you want to show up to win the game. It's all because I needed six points and eight rebounds, my standard. If we're making up all these hypotheticals, then you just killed the grandpa. No hypotheticals. Let's go to the dudes because we're stupid. Lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Oh, I think it was a great decision to have him go play the game. He rested all day, so maybe he was feeling better by the time it was game time. If he was at school, his body would have been worn down. I could understand him not playing the game, but he stayed home, drank some Gatorade, got some medicine in his system, go play the game, spreading germs during a game, not really going to happen. You're good to your teammates. Even if he does not feel like, I'm going to go to school and fight it so I can get, you're doing it for the team. You committed. When you signed up to play basketball, you sign up to be a teammate. And teammates are there through thick and thin. Sickness and health. Eddie? And this is easy. Amy, Amy's not a sports person.
Starting point is 00:54:48 I mean, Amy, no, no, you're not. Look, they need to play the game. Like Bobby said, they depend on, even if you're a bench player, they need you to go in for those two minutes to make someone rest. If you're a bench player, do you're sick, don't go in. You'll get everybody's. It's not worth it. To lose a game because you miss and you're sick, that's worth it. But at this age bones, the bench player's role is to get that starter some rest.
Starting point is 00:55:11 So you go in for two minutes, get that superstar arrest, and then he goes back in. I disagree with that completely. If you're not a starter and you're not contributing, you don't worry about it. But if you're a starter and you're contributing, I don't care what you got. Ebola, COVID, you let a rip.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You go and you're there for your team. We can disagree on that, Amy. And we shall. And also, my big takeaway from this is we all are not allowed to come into work at all whatsoever if we're feeling sick. So clearly none of us are that important. Correct. And secondly,
Starting point is 00:55:42 who does come in when they're sick? You do. That's right. You know what? Take it for what is worth. I think you made a great point. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

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 break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Starting point is 00:59:49 Are you ready? Yes. Oh my goodness. Husband, wife, they're together. They have a daughter that's about to start college and the wife's like, look, we don't have money to pay for college. What if we sell one of your kidneys on the black market? He's like, I'm not doing that. Not doing it. So months go by and she keeps talking to him about it. Hey, we need to sell a kidney. We need to sell a kidney. We need to sell a kidney. And finally he's like, you know what? Let's do it.
Starting point is 01:00:18 It's for our daughter. All sell a kidney. They find a buyer. They get $11,500. The kidney is removed. He's in recovery. She takes the money and it loves with another dude. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Oh, my gosh. It's terrible. Women are crazy. That is crazy. Women are crazy. It's a good one. I mean, honestly, I can't even argue this one. But I mean, he's kind of crazy that he did it.
Starting point is 01:00:48 For his daughter? No, he wasn't crazy. He was giving his body to put his kids through school. He fell for it. He fell for it. No, it doesn't make him crazy because he fell for it. Man, she stayed on him for months. Golly, she was dedicated to that.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Oh, wow. And then found a way to get the kidney removed. Like, how do you even go? Where do you even go to have that done? And then you get it, you sell it, you get the money, and then you bail with another dude. This is the ultimate got got got. Like, what does this guy do?
Starting point is 01:01:14 Like, I got got got. And then what's the other dude? We don't even know the other dude. But let's say the dude, person three, who she leaves with. Is he like waiting by the whole time going, you can get him. Get that kidney. Let's get out of here. Just try this angle.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Imagine you're in the hospital and she's gone with another dude. Like, I don't agree with lunchbox that women are crazy, but this woman is crazy. Did they find her? Do we know what's up? They have not said anything about facing charges or anything. Wow. And do you think this is a typical woman thing? Or can you admit it's a one-time,
Starting point is 01:01:44 this is not specifically women related The people can be crazy No this is women are crazy Like women I mean he does keep doing this story No it is a bit it's we're episode three Right I thought maybe be episode one We canceled this
Starting point is 01:02:00 Wow But that's a that's a good one there Amy your thoughts I mean This is low I feel like this is psychotic Are you being convinced No I don't think that
Starting point is 01:02:11 She's a swing voter No I think that men are Humans in general can be crazy. I don't want to just isolate this. I'm sure we can find a man. They got a woman to donate an organ somewhere. Surely. I mean, if we tried, I bet we can't.
Starting point is 01:02:25 I bet he didn't run off with anybody else. I bet we can. Are you kidding me? Okay, can I say this then? Let me hop in and give a different angle. What if it was all the dude's idea and he convinced the woman to do all the work? Yeah. So it could be dude.
Starting point is 01:02:39 I'm grasping, but I'm saying this could be that dude she ran away with doing. Now she still had to convince her husband. There was a lot. Like there's all, like some of his stories, there seems to always be a man involved somewhere. Yeah, you know why? Because women are crazy. So what's this show called again? It's called Women Are Crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Got it. I'm just going to have to start collecting all the stories that I see of men being crazy. And I'm just going to have to have them, like a stack of him. So that anytime he does this, I'll be like, I counter your woman, your crazy woman with this man. And then that'll show you all. It's evil. They're like brutal murderers. Women are like smarter so they do the conniving crazier stuff.
Starting point is 01:03:20 But if we do do this though, can we keep a tally and see who wins? Like after 20? Just to kind of figure it out. I mean, you have to vote. Maybe who's crazier? I think men are more ruthless and women are a bit crazy. I think because women's hormones react to a different way. Men are just awful.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Like we're naturally awful. We don't need hormones. We're just naturally awful. Women at times can be affected by their hormones. And they don't have to be awful. They can be sweet, but they do change. And that is. Lunchbox presents. Women are crazy.
Starting point is 01:03:48 It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me it's Tom. On Tuesday afternoon, a box truck collided with a flatbed truck on a bridge north of New Orleans. One of the trucks is bigger than the other. The smaller truck lost. They hit and it goes off the bridge into the water. The driver was traveling in the far right lane, flips over, boom.
Starting point is 01:04:15 He managed to escape. the vehicle, a boat sees it, comes up, grabs the guy out of the water, because obviously he was a little hurt from the situation, and they took the guy into the hospital and he's fine. But the guy was like, is that boat hadn't been there? I don't know if I'd have been able to keep swimming. Because this is like out in the middle of the bridge. It's one of those really long bridges. So imagine you're also on a boat and you see two trucks hit. Oh, be crazy. Would you go toward it?
Starting point is 01:04:43 No. I appreciate your honesty I think we would all go over right yeah we probably stop man how lucky for that guy to get out of that truck too his windows must have been down because that air sucks you in when you're going in
Starting point is 01:04:59 yeah or they say you should kick out the back window yeah but if you're injured oh yeah true what do you do great yeah great job by this and I'm looking at his boat right over there
Starting point is 01:05:11 the guy's like floating in the water grabs them, throws them in the boat, gets them to the hospital. Right place, right time. Perfect place, perfect time. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. A win is a win.
Starting point is 01:05:47 A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th.
