Morning. This may be awkward. Lunchbox, go ahead. Yeah, Abby, I know you moved in with your dude and it's his house. So I just had this thought the other day. I'm like, does Abby pay rent to her dude? Like, because it's his house or is she just living rent-free like a mooch? I mean, a mooch, I feel like that is not an appropriate way to ask the question that's already kind of awkward.

Would you like to answer it, Abby? You know, that's a good question because I still have my place that I'm paying mortgage on. Oh, that's smart just in case. Yeah. But you're still using electricity. I'm not on his side. I'm not on his side. Mike, do you split the water bill?

No, we don't. Whoa. Okay. All of your utilities are cheaper because you're not there. Correct. Yeah, this was a conversation we have. Good. Healthy. No, I like it. Of like, it would be kind of like a three-month trial period where I wouldn't and then I would start paying. But we haven't had that conversation yet. How long have you lived there? It's been like three months. This is now the time to have the conversation. What do you think the proper protocol would be? I honestly don't even know. I should. I probably should, right? Like half.

No, no, no, no. Maybe not half. I don't think half. Now, I'd like to talk through it with you if that's okay. Is this appropriate and comfortable for you? Yeah. Okay. He has a house. Still paying a mortgage on the house? Yes. You don't pay half because you're not, it's not your house. So if you're going half and half, his half is equal to your half, but he's also getting equity. Right. So that I would say would not be a fair percentage for you to pay. Let's say the house is $100 a month total in on the mortgage. I would say, you would pay $30 a month and that you would pay half the utilities. Okay.

How often are the kids there? 50% of the time. Okay. I now say 40% of the utilities. So I think if I were the negotiator here, the intermediary, I would say here's what we'll do because you're owning the house. It's your house. She's going to pay 30% of the rent because she gets no equity of the mortgage payment.

And then she's also going to be 40% of the utility. because the kids are using a bunch of the crap too. I mean, that is like a sticky situation, right? No, it's not, not if you go head on. It's an uncomfortable situation. But relationships are built through uncomfortable situations and conversations. Because then you feel so much freer after. I really had a hard time with my wife early on having those uncomfortable conversations.

Because I never had to have them. I live by myself. I was single. I was never in a serious relationship ever. And so I was like, I wanted to not like me. Because I always felt like I was one. step away from her not liking me. And so I avoided it. I am now, I have learned that we have grown so much through the uncomfortable conversations, way more than the comfortable conversations.

So it's not sticky. It could be uncomfortable, but either way you're going to grow from it. So it's now time for you to have that conversation, and I'm not saying go do it today. But I would encourage you to get ahead of it because he's probably going in his head, oh man, I got to bring this back up. Yeah, he probably is. what I would suggest to you, if this were my job as professional suggestor, I would say, hey, three months, say, hey, three months is up. I've been thinking about how we should do this. And if you feel uncomfortable saying it because you do sometimes struggle with saying things

when you get nervous, write it down. Say, I've taken a second, I've written all this down. This is what I think would be fair and why. And you just handed the paper. Okay. That's awesome. I like that. He'll appreciate you, as they say, cutting to the chase because he's also thinking about it.

And he may actually go, I don't think you should pay 30%. Pay 25% and you help out with the kids. There's value in that. Thanks, lunchbox for pointing that out. No, I just, it was a genuine question and I just was wondering how you were living in life. Are you serious? No, that was sarcasm. Well, it was a little sarcasm.

Oh, I know. It was good because I did have this in my head. And it's going to weigh on you and be a point. It's going to be a bit of minor anxiety for you. until you address it. It is uncomfortable, but you grow through uncomfortable things. It's uncomfortable to physically grow.

Think about that. When you're 13, 14, and you're growing, your body hurts. When you're learning something new, it sucks because you don't get it. You're clunky. It doesn't matter if you learn a piano

or you're not how to fix a house. It sucks. You hit your thumb with a hammer, but you learn from that. Anything uncomfortable that results in growth is so much more of a benefit than the uncomfortable thing you went through.

And I got a great idea. Bobby is great at mediating, so we'll just bring your dude on air, and Bobby can talk it out with him. Oh, my God, he would love that, not. I was going to say, because I'm in. I'll do that, too. You don't have to do it, but if you do, please let us know. Okay, yeah, I will. That would be my healthy suggestion.

Yeah, thanks for that. And what about Abby's house? Like, what's going on there? Well, at some point, she has to come. I know. I just love my house. It's the first house I bought. Okay.

Allow me to say something else. Okay. Rent it out. Yeah, I can do that. Do a, you know, if you do a one-year lease, you're not going to be able to charge as much. If you do a multiple-year lease, you can charge a little bit more. It gives them a little security, the person who's running the house. I would not encourage you to Airbnb, be it.

I would encourage you to run out the house once you feel comfortable with that. But that's also a different commitment. That's a different level of commitment that I don't want you to be scared of making. If you think you should make it, but like your guts are saying, oh, but I'm nervous, but your head is saying I should make it because, like, I'm in. Kick your nuts. Kick your guts in the nuts. Kick your guts in the nuts and run out your house.

I get nervous. People are going to trash it. Yeah, that's part of running your house out, though. That's why you do it first and last month's rent, and then you have insurance, and there's always something to fix once it's done, but you will make more. And the equity will grow in your house. It will be worth it. Okay.

And then does he have a big enough driveway for both your cars? Great point. I mean, it has two cars. No, he doesn't. Oh, my gosh. Sell a lot of the cars. No, I love my other car. I don't want to get rid of it.

then sell the one you don't love as much. Yeah, but what happens when a... Do it like Morgan, stored up here in the building. Yeah, can I do that? Hello, Bobby Bones. My fiance wants to go to a friend's bachelor party. This is a work friend that he does not normally hang out with. And he knows nobody else attending.

I have voice some concerns over what kind of crowd he may be with because he tends to be easily influenced to do things he wouldn't normally do when he's with other guys. There are past examples of this. He thinks it's wrong of me to ask him not to attend. So I tried to meet him in the middle and asked him to refrain from drinking alcohol, not attend a gentleman's club. And then to come home at the end of the night rather than stay overnight because it's a fairly local event.

He is not telling me I'm controlling and nagging and I should just trust his judgment. Am I being controlling by asking for these boundaries to not be crossed? thanks in advance for your advice signed possibly a controlling fiance this is what i'm going to say to this you know him you trust him but you also know how vulnerable he is in certain situations easily influenced yes and i would say that you have done a wonderful job of trying to meet him in a place that doesn't feel like it's a no but based on your past actions i feel this way because i think That is also very healthy. I do think it is an odd situation to go to someone's bachelor party that you don't really know

other than briefly at work. And I'm on your team. I'm on your team. So he is going to be resentful if he can't just be an adult. I'm on your team. It is weird that men are having to sleep over too. I'm just going to say that as well. It's a local thing.

Why is he spending the night? Like come home, bro. What are you guys going to do? Do flashlights on the ceiling? Yeah, tell stories. Exactly. Marshallows. Smoors.

I, because you did not say don't go to a gentleman's club, I would trust him to make the right decisions and let him be free. He's easily influenced. I hear you. I struggle with the same thing. I would remind him you are easily influenced and you don't know these guys. I need you to, instead of not drink at all, I need you. you to limit and just be an adult and be mature. Now, if he screws up on this, you have them for the rest.

You have them because you have absolute proof of you allowing, even though you were taught differently through his actions of allowing him to be a mature adult. He fought for it. I think you give him this one. But if he screws this one up, one, if he screws up real bad, that's bad news. But I don't think he's going to screw up real bad. He'll just kind of screw up a little bit. But then you have all the ammunition,

all the data. You got a life pamphlet of what he can and can't do for now on based on what he did wrong this time. Let the bird fly. Let's see how the bird flies. So, yes, let him go. Say, I would prefer and layer it with that instead of you can't. Because as an adult, when someone says you can't, you just want to go, I'm an adult now.

I can do it. It's free country. You say that even though that's not really what that means. Let him go. layer him with, I prefer. Text him throughout the night, not in a nagging way, just remind him that you love him.

Because what that's going to do, it's going to, again, possibly layer that guilt on top of him if he's making bad decisions. Oh yeah. But let him go because this could be the ammunition you need for the rest of your marriage, once that happens.

I'm on your team, though. You're not a controlling fiancé, you're a concerned fiancé. You just don't want to seem controlling because then he will react so negatively to that that he'll probably be wild and crazy. I have to say.

I have feeling it's not the same for you lunchbox. No, you're being controlling. You've got to let him go. I also still let him go. I know, but you're saying it in a weird way. No, I'm saying it in a way where he doesn't feel trapped. Like, oh, yes, he's going to spend the night because that's what you do at a bachelor party.

You don't? You all spend the night? Spend the night? In town? Have you guys ever been to a bachelor party? Out of town. You never been to one in town? In town?

And I went home. Yeah, you go home. No. And no, I've never been to one. What did you guys do overnight? I never been to one single Bachelor party ever. That's not true. Really?

I haven't. Oh. Who invites me? Yeah. Oh, dang. I didn't think about that. I'd never been to a single one. Well, I didn't know you when I had mine, so.

I wouldn't have gone. Yes, you wouldn't invite me. So, okay, look, lunch, lunch, buy. We didn't spend the night. We're on the same team. It's a party. I want to know what they did when they spent the night. You pass out, you go to sleep.

I don't know, but you, I mean, it's like four in the morning, five in the morning. I don't know. Hey, we heard you, buddy. You and your buddy's one final run. Okay, okay. I mean, I don't understand what the big deal is about them spitting the night. It's a bachelor party. I woke up in Clark's jeans.

I mean, it's 4 a.m. And maybe you have dancers at the house, whatever. Well, it doesn't matter. Let them go. But pepper it, layer it with, I'd prefer, I'd prefer, but I love you. And then if he screws up, then you got them. There you go. Close it up.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. There's a 13-year-old girl in California. She's walking home from school, just enjoying the beautiful day. Do-to-do-do-do-do. When all sudden a man attacks. He comes up.

He throws a punch. But she's been taking jihitsu. She dodges the punch. Boom. Puts him in a headlock. Blings him to the ground. Boom. It would be like, what the heck?

He made his decision. He's going to do something terrible. He's going to attack a 13-year-old girl. For what reason, I don't know. Doesn't know. They just said he may have been under the influence. Well, if he wanted her money, if he wanted something even worse. And he's like, all right, easy target. Let's go. Oh, crap. There's a point. It's like when someone gets stuck in a chimney trying to break into a house where they go, oh, I, well, I'm stuck now. This sucks.

He had that same feeling at some point as he's getting his butt wop by a young teenager. Yeah, she's been doing jihitsu for three years and she just took her training and just said, do what I know. That's amazing. That's awesome. That's that sound effect. And she broke his ankle? Wow. I mean, when she tossed him, he broke his ankle.

I mean, it's not like she kicked him right in the ankle and broke it. Sounds like she broke it. Hey, if she tossed him and broke it, that's even cooler, I'd say. She's 13, tossing a grown arm. No, I agree. Yeah, like, my son did Jiu-Jitsu for a while, and I just remember a lot of rolling on the ground. Jiu-Jitsu is very much ground-based. Yeah.

It's like when they grabbed the other person by their uniform, whatever you call that. Their robe. Their cape. What's it called? It's got an real name. And then they, you should know you're a jiu-jitsu mom. Yeah, I was a jiu-tizu mom a few years ago. So that escapes me now.

Does it say her name? No, it doesn't say her name. Good. Well, Protector Rights is a 13-year-old. Yeah. Which is way more than he did. Not him, the guy. Yeah, the bad guy.

Oh, the guy. Yeah. Oh, okay. No, no, I do you do that thing in stories. Lunchbox does that in games. Where after he misses it, he's like, I knew it. I had it. No, now that you say it, of course, I remember always being like,

do you have your ghee? I'll meet you in the car. Get your ghee. Is your gey washed? No, all the sudden. She's got all the example. Anyway, great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. So I did a list of the greatest TV finale episodes ever. So I did top seven, 7, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 1. And number 7, I have the final episode of Friends. Do you guys remember that one? They move out? Yeah, I was like, they go there's several ways.

Do they turn off the line in the apartment or something? They do the keys. Oh, the keys. And I got to be careful because I don't want to spoil shows, but some of them are just so old, it doesn't matter. I can say I've seen that one. I've not seen the whole series, but I've seen that final episode. They all put their keys down one by one. I liked it.

I put it number seven on my list. Number six, I was like 10 when this happened, but I've seen it a bunch of times. Cheers. So what happens in this is Sam and Diane decided to move to L.A., go to L.A. together. I moved to California. And halfway through, they're like, why are we doing this? It hasn't worked many times

So Sam goes back to the bar And it ends Because Sam's like real love is the bar And so it ends And Sam's cleaning up by itself And someone comes down And he's like hey It seems like now we're closed

And turns the light off And that's the end of cheers That's cool Number five is the ending of Alf I don't know that one Do you know Alf the show? Yeah he's the alien From Melmac

Eats cats Eats cats I don't remember that part That's what they did Yeah they ate cats I didn't remember He was always trying to get the family cat. Like, ah.

And what do Alf stand for? Alien life form. That's it. So the ending of Alf messed people up. So what happens is the whole final episode, final two episodes, Alf is going back to Melmac with aliens. They've come down to get them. That's his planning.

Do you know Alf Morgan? Yeah, you guys made me watch like 10 episodes of it or something. That's right. But you didn't watch the whole thing. No, I gave up. So at the end, the final episode, final scene, the space shuttle comes down and there's big booming lights. It's not a shuttle.

Space shuttle. A spaceship. Shuttle. Did you ever call space shuttles? No. The spaceship is like Columbia. No, but they call space shuttles too. Nah, the space shuttle is like...

No, whatever. It's not even a shuttle. That's a ship. And so the spaceship's down. And the lights come on. And then all the sudden, the alien task force the U.S. government takes and surrounds out and takes them. What?

And that's how it ends. How many... What? That's crazy. That's crazy because here's what happened. They planned to go another season, but it got canceled after the finale. And that was the cliffhanger where the American, like, alien cops. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Abducted took Alf. Oh. But that's the end. That's the final episode of the whole series. Wow. And you're just like, wait, what? And so then Alf was just taken by the Americans, probably dissected and killed. That's crazy.

That's a crazy one because that's just not what you were expecting. Okay. At number four, Breaking Bad. And I think this is still too new for me to spoil But I'll just say this He did it his way Got it, I remember now Did it his way

What a great show That was a good show 2013 Mike I think it's still though people are still I think it's still like people are still getting into it Mike pulled up to date because I rules 10 years I think that's good because I want my son to watch it Is he listening right now?

No but I'm just saying like I wouldn't want to spoil it for him He's a big podcast listener Got it got it Catch us on the YouTube I'm not saying that we would spoil it, but I think you don't spoil breaking bad yet. Yeah, that's too soon. I agree. Well, by our rules, it is not too soon.

But it's one of those ones that is still making its way through pop culture. Like, people still reference it and still... I agree. That's why I decided not to do it. You're arguing with me and I have the same feeling you have. Yes. Sorry. Yeah.

Number three, the Fresh Prince. Oh, that's a good one. What happens there? Oh, man. All the episodes leading up, like Will's moving off. He's got big things. And the whole family's moving across the country. New York and they're leaving the house, I'm packing, but you realize Will is not actually,

his thing fell through. And so he, but he's scared to tell them because he doesn't want them to think he's just a leech. And so at the end, he finally tells them. And they're like hug and everything's empty. The whole room's empty. And then they, we got you, we got you. We still love you. We're going to take care of you. Lights go out. Shows over. But then Carlton was upstairs in the bathroom. And it's like, hey, who turned out the lights? They left him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's a good one. That's a good one. Number two. the office and it had two finale. The first real finale is when Michael Scott leaves.

And it was awesome because he goes to the airport, takes his mic off and then talks to Pam with no mic on. That was the most emotional one. I can do this finale, right? The office? I mean, yeah. The real finale, same 2013, same year, but I think this is different.

They are in the finale, they're one year after the documentary ended. and they're doing all the interviews about the documentary on a stage. And so people meet their parents for the first time. Angela, the real thing is Angela and Dwight get married and Michael Scott shows up because he's been all off the show per seasons and he hits him with a, that's what she said. Like coming into the room. That's cool.

It's great. And then they all. And then number one, all time. The final episode of the rehearsal. The rehearsal. You've never even seen it. No. That's on HBO Max.

Oh, that's the one you told me about where they just do the thing over and over and over again to make sure it's... It's the greatest. Oh yeah, I watched it. And this is number one, all time? All time. I don't know if you've... Blown freaking away.

Did you feel the same way? Yeah, that whole season was like an investment, but worth it. Yes, and at times in season two, you're like, I don't know, I'm kind of bored or this is kind of getting a little too weird. So I'm going to tell you, have to watch season one and two, and I'm not, it's not for everybody. But the whole show is he gets people, they have big life decisions to make. And he just rehearses the whole thing with him, but creates the exact scenario, the bill, every detail.

Like this one woman wanted to be a parent, but she's nervous. So he rehearsed, he got a baby, a one year old, a five year old, a seven year old. And within 24 hours made her parent all these kids to say if she'd be a good parent. That's cool. Does all this. Season two, he's just trying to fix the aviation industry for the plane crashes. Like, has a very serious tone to it. The finale, I think, is the greatest finale I've ever seen.

Mike? I didn't even feel like I was watching a TV show in that moment. I felt like I was watching this experiment. I was like, wow, this is like next level. Is it a TV show? It is. Yeah, it's an HBO man. I watched the first episode where he did the, the trivia one.

But it's not real. No, it is real. No, it's real. Oh, because these are real people. Yeah. They're not actors. Right. And I don't think it's for everybody.

But it's, at times, even I'm like, what's happening here? The end of season two, it's the greatest episode I've ever seen of any television show ever. Because there was one point in season two where I was like, I'm not going to watch this anymore. I guess it's going too far for me and I was like let me just keep going and then oh okay that's good really good I think he is the most ambitious creator comedian that exists right now I think he's the new Andy Kaufman so that's it that's number one okay never even heard of it the end and what's the show called again the rehearsal the rehearsal I'm gonna have to watch it any finale though you guys loved I got a couple of Seinfeld uh okay love signfeld uh okay love signfeld

But people hated the finale because they just put them in a jail cell with no ending. It was already a show about nothing. Okay, fair enough. So that was awesome if they were in jail. Lunchbox? I got two. Friday night lights. Never saw it?

Oh, fantastic. Ending was great. Ending was great. I don't remember it. And then the other one is parenthood. I mean, let me tell you, you want to talk about summon everything up and putting a bow on it and doing it perfectly. Parenthood did it. I believe you on both.

Parenthood's good. I've seen individual episodes. It's good. That's why I knew Dak Shepard, I think. Yeah, I had never heard the show until it was ending and people were posting it so sad about the series finale and I'm like, is it really that good? And I went back and watched every single episode

and I was like, this show is so good. You know what reminds me? The feeling I got, because I've seen just a couple episodes of Parenthood is shrinking where it's funny and like so personal and like touching and like all the ways, but probably be a bit different. I didn't spend enough time with Parenthood. But shrinking makes me feel like Parenthood

kind of made me feel through brief interactions with it. That's a great, great analysis. It's like the same thing. And can I just tell you about shrinking? The neighbor lady's mouth this second season, it drives me nuts. Whatever she did to her face. Like surgery? It's like her face doesn't move and it's just driving me nuts.

Is she from scrubs? What? No way. I don't need to look and see if I was talking about the same person. Oh my goodness. Morgan, you have finale? It was parenthood. Really?

Yeah, all the emotions into one beautiful episode. I think about that finale a lot. Mike, yeah, finale? Lost. A lot of people hated it, but I loved it. And then that note, I like the Game of Thrones finale. And everybody hated it. I think that's maybe why I liked it. I liked the Dexter finale. And everybody hated it. I think that's why I liked it. I liked the end of volleyball. Wilson.

Castaway? Yeah. Not a TV show. I know, but I think it now shows that people hated. And I'm like, no, no, no. I think we lost, everybody wanted all the things to be solved by the end of it. Like all the answers to all the weird things on the island and they didn't. But that show was a journey. I thought it ended beautifully. Lunchbox? I'm looking her up.

It's taking this long? Yeah, I'm reading her Wikipedia page. You know what's another good one? Are you talking about Krista Miller? She was. Yes, she's on scrubs. Huh. Wow.

She dated Perry. That's wild. There you have it. Okay. Thank you, everybody. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. and then there's your body having its own program.

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 relationship. 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. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything.

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Cougler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president.

Los Angeles-Rouzette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good one. I like that saying. It's an actual Polish saying.

It is an actual poll. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong.

Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show 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 Ho'Brien, I sit down with Tiffany the Bucconista 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. Hey, Ernest, what's up? Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn income into real wealth. On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need to understand money, investing and entrepreneurship. From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth,

we translate complex financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand. Because the truth is, most people will never taught how money really works. But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it. That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself, but for the next generation. If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner, Earn your leisure is the podcast for you. Listen to Earn Your Leisure on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Hi, everyone. I'm Cheryl Stray, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things. I'm excited to share that I have a new podcast called Mind Over Mountain. In each episode, I interview athletes, adventurers, and adrenaline seekers to discuss the inner landscapes and life experiences that informed and inspired their extraordinary feats. I also bring a bit of advice into the mix so we too can better understand how to face our own seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to pull out what you already have inside. We're coming into this world, fighting for our lives. All I'm going to do is pull out what you already got inside. We're there to support and celebrate each other. And that's not like your story versus my story. You're going to walk up and over that dang mountain.

You're not just going to put your mind over it. Yep, yep, exactly. And if I can't walk up and over it, I'm going to go through it. Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The head coach at Wake Forest, the head coach of the football program. His name's Jake Dickert. He was successful at Washington State.

And now he comes over. And I was asking him about how the players get up for games, how they don't get freaked out. And he has advice for Abby, who gets freaked out at every game we ever play on this show. He listens to the show. Oh, my God. Wait. No, and he heard. Well, he knows.

He listens to, he was like making references all about the show. So this is Coach Dickard talking about Abby who gets puckered every time we play any game, even though there's no reason just a game we're playing on the show. Go ahead. Be confident. More importantly, like, one thing I try to do, and this doesn't relate to it, but be you, right? Be you align with us, man. Just be the best version of yourself.

Go out there, have fun. Be able to laugh at yourself a little bit as you go throughout your journey. I think it becomes obviously a well-purposed vision of yourself. I've listened to some of your games. There's some hard ones. There's some hard ones out there that are really tough. So, Abby, he was like, if you just go into it going, I'm going to be me regardless, I'll be the best version of me,

and if I win great, if I lose great, as long as I'm being the best version of me, you're good. Yeah, I don't know why I put so much pressure all the time. Correct. You think you're going to lose your scholarship to this show, even though there is no scholarship to be on this show. We pay you. Right.

Yeah. So he also talked about his favorite book, which is called How Great Leaders Build Great Teams, where it's similar. Here, listen to this. I love studying high performance and what holds people back, okay, and how we're going to bridge that gap. And the whole book is designed around two things that are crushing kind of young people and performers today.

It's the fear of failure, right? And they're not seeing it as a way to grow and get better, and we must fail to grow. But more importantly, the second thief is the fear of judgment, right? I think a lot of young people today are paralyzed from the social media aspect of it. And what do my teammates think? What does social media think? What happens now?

And it just holds people back from becoming the best versions of themselves. That again, related to you. Yeah, I've said both of those things. I'm like, I don't want to look dumb. And what else have I said? I don't know what I said. He cried, he peed, and all that. Yeah, all that.

What's the name of that book? I need to read it. Well, he is sending you on. He is. He cares about you, Abby. That's so nice. I love this guy. Yeah.

And what team does he coach Abby? Wake Forest. That's correct. Wake Forest. Okay, you said it twice. Let's go. Yes. And do you remember his name?

Dang it. No. Okay. She remembers Wake Forest. Yeah. Yeah. Coach Dickert. Dicker?

Yeah, no, Dickert. Yeah, Coach Dickert. Okay. Coach Dickert. Yes. You're awesome. So maybe you're a Wake Forest fan this year. I know.

After KU. Right after KU. Different conference. Okay. Different conference. first year there. So he wanted me to pass that along to Abby. Like, stop worrying about what happens because you worrying is actually making it worse. I'm going to think of that every time. And I'm going to get a copy of the book. He's going to send a copy of the book up here.

That is amazing. Thanks, Coach Dickert. Also funny, he knew Abby kind of sucked to games. That's embarrassing. That's really bad. Yeah, we are, I'm going to say, a secondary Wake Forest football fan this year. Yeah. Because if a coach listens to this show, let's be honest, if anybody listens to this show. I don't care. If you're a coach, working at a bank, we're on your team. So Coach Dickert, Wake Forest, we're rooting for you. And what if Abby dominates games now? All because of that? She comes in.

You know, in high school, we used to run through the paper and, like, the cheerleaders would decorate it. They'd write, like, Red Devils, win the game. We do one of those for Abby, and she run through it every time we do a game. But sometimes people would trip on that paper. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Abby would be running a lot. You see videos online. That would be Abby.

Well, that was kids who didn't know that you have to walk up to it and put a little, a little couple holes with your fingers. I have to start it first. Yeah. So, and then when it's like time to go, the hole's already there. Yeah. So how about this? Next game, at least one of the next games, Abby, we build you something like that. You run through it.

You hop at the microphone. You feel good about yourself and you nail the game. I love it. Let's go. That's all I need is that boost. It's that little confidence. Okay. We'll see you.

And therapy and... And the book. Yeah, thanks to Coach Dickert at Wake Forest Football. Voice mails go. Good morning studio. I have a question. It's actually about the good morning studio thing that you guys do. You guys always do it like perfectly in sync.

I don't think I've ever heard a mess up there. And I want to know how that came to be. That's something that just sort of happened organically and you went with it. Is it something that you deliberately decided to do and practiced? Like how do you always get it so perfect? We do an hour after the show every day. I've just gone, morning studio. Morning.

Yeah, it's just a lot of practicing. A lot of practice. No. I don't even know how that started. I think one day I just said morning, morning studio or morning show and everybody said it back at the same time. And I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. It was never intentional.

We have never practiced it. There have been a little mess ups. Oh, for sure. We won't be paying attention. Yeah. It'll be like, morning in the studio. We've had those. Or sometimes somebody leave a voicemail and they'll say,

morning studio and some person will just not think and be like, morning. Yeah, yeah. Why did you do my voice? Well, I'm just an example, man. We don't practice. It was never something that we created, but I think it happened once. And I was like, oh, that's cool.

And then callers will do it. And they'll go, Morning Studio. Now, where we'll mess up there is if somebody's not paying attention, they just won't yell at all. And you heard, like, eight of us nail it, but one person won't be on because they're on their computer or something. But, yeah, good question. Never thought about it.

Next one. Morning studio. I have a question. I'm just kidding. I was just kidding. I was just kidding. I'm just kidding. But that's also where that comes from.

People leave voicemails. We love it. What we could do is we could do it in the voicemail. They left a gap. Oh, but now people are going to try to leave the gap. But I would say they can leave the gap on purpose. So we have to wait for the gap. Well, they could go, I'm going to leave a gap.

Morning studio. Morning. Got it. So they go. Morning studio. One, two, then talk. But they've got to tell us they're going to leave the gap. The beginning of the voicemail is got to be going to leave a gap here.

Morning. Oh, man. It's going to get hard. But that's just one. to talk. No, lunch, once, just wait for the gap part. If they say the gap.

Yeah, that's say a gap. But let's try it on this one without a gap. Go. Morning studio. Morning. I have a question about whether or not you should tip the casino workers. I just left the casino where I was winning a little bit at the roulette table. And the woman working the table kept making subtle jabs about me not tipping her.

Just curious what the show's thoughts are. whether or not you tip when you're at the casino. Okay, thank you for asking. Great question. Do you have to tip at a casino? No. Do I tip at a casino if I'm winning tremendously? Like a lot more than normal.

If I'm winning consistently or tremendously, I will place bets for them. They'd rather have the bets for the most part. Because it makes money for them. Because you can ask them, you want tipped or do you want me a bet for you? But you only do that if you're winning consistently or you just want a whole lot. If I've won a decent amount and I'm walking away from the cratch table, I'll be like, hey, thank you guys, and I'll throw them a few bucks on the way out. Okay, great, great.

Why? Why? Good luck. Only luck. But like, they didn't do anything. Again, what am I saying? Only luck. Only luck.

Because I feel like if I'm in the casino and I don't want to use lunchboxes of terminology for it because I don't believe it, but the casino gods, if we're believing in luck, if we're believing in luck, and jinx and superstition, the casino gods will look down on me in a way to go, oh, you're taking care of other people. we're going to take care of you. It's only luck and superstition. Amen. So are you supposed to?

No. Is it nice to? Yes. Would you like to be shined unfavorably by the casino gods? Absolutely. Do the dealers go? Yes. They should not do that.

They do? If they do that, I do not tip them. It's like if I'm at subway and they're pointing at the bucket, hey, sit a tip, point. You don't get a tip. They do that at subway? Yeah. No. But if they did, I wouldn't.

You know where I'm strut. struggle is the guy out front when you're getting in the cab the guy opens the door for you i don't know what they're called and it's like man to valet like the door is the door man the guy working in bag in bag in baggis they have those guys in vagus i never in a vagus they blow the whistle they call a cab up and they open the door for you and i'm like do i really need to tip this dude i can open the door myself i don't need you to do that but i think about do the gambling gods care about those guys are only the dealers. Well, that's how, listen, if I got a few extra bucks on the one, because again, they're not really doing anything. They're doing nothing. They're doing nothing. They don't need to

pull the whistle. I can make my own hand. You bring up a great point. The gamble of God's looking down on us. And so if I have a couple of free bucks, I'll for sure give them a dollar or two because it's very, it's nothing, but I'm only doing that to be in the good graces of the, of the leaders of the luck. Yeah. So you do not have to. I would encourage you to. Heck, even if you're losing, that could switch up your luck. If you're losing a bunch, you throw a couple bucks. Anything can switch up luck. That's what the gambling gods waiting for. Maybe the gambling gods

looking down and going, I'm going to make them lose for a little bit. Until he, hey, in the Bible, many people were tested. Absolutely. Ever heard of Abraham? Yes. He was tested. Kill me a son. That's right. I didn't mean to go biblical and casino on the same story, but I'm just saying it could be a test. Okay, good. Next one.

I just want to give a shout out to my daughter, Eliana, who has graduated. high school. She's all to let her know we're super proud of her. She got a couple of things in common with lunchbox. She's going to UTSA or she's going to study neuroscience. And she was also prom queen. So we are super proud of her for everything that she's accomplished.

We can't wait until she is a doctor. Let's examine this voicemail. A couple things in common with lunchbox. Neuroscience? Is that what she went to school for or lunchbox? No. So wasn't that one? No, speech communication.

Okay. She's going to be a doctor? I thought about it. Yeah. I realize you got to go to more school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I guess we're stuck at UTSA. Correct.

And Promptoin. No, it's Prong King, but I mean, they're the same level. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go ahead. All right, I just had a question about lunchbox. How is lunchbox driving situation? Does he still drive his bike to work every day? Is the car still in front of his house? Like, what's going on?

Hit it. Yeah, the 05 Ultima is still chilling, dude. She is a beauty. She is beaut. I mean, I'm telling you. She's a beauty and she's beaut? She is in such good shape for being 20 years old. She doesn't work. She doesn't run.

You look at her and it's like, wow, that body is still on point. So yes, I still ride my bike a lot of the days to work. Is that weird? He's talking about his car like it's a girl? No, no, I'm saying for 20 years. That hole. You would think after 20 years. You ever look at it and think if I got drunk enough.

No, I never thought about that, but I'm saying, when you look at a 20-year-old car, you expect it to have holes in it and just dents everywhere? He's outside in the middle of the night. Lunchbox, leave the car alone. Never thought about that. A car doesn't run. Not right now. But she's a but. They were going to offer you $500 to trade it in.

Not worth it. But you're going to have to put in thousands of dollars to get it running again. I understand. Dude, donate it. I mean, it's the people like fix cars up and they give them to people that need a car. But donate it and let the gambling gods know. That's a good point. Are the gambling gods watching you like not in the casino?

You got to make sure to call out to them. Okay. Okay. Yeah, maybe you have a lottery ticket in my hand when I am. You just have to make sure they know. Yeah. Thank you for the voicemails. You can always leave one.

877-Bobby. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. James Brown the third. Get pack. Different James Brown. That was a real James Brown. He's an 18-year-old graduate of Wilson Preparatory Academy in Wilson, North Carolina. He's valedictorian, and that's pretty awesome in itself.

But he's also valedictorian because he went kindergarten through 12th grade, never missed a single day of school. Wow. Like that's the marker of success more than his 4.2 GPA. Some kids can skate by, some kids, their school is easier to them. some kids are lucky enough to get good GPAs without even trying. But nobody cannot even try and be at school every single day, kindergarten through 12th grade. That's amazing.

And he never got sick. To me, that's more amazing than any GPA you can have. You know, I don't have his medical records here. If not, he battled through it. His parents credit a strong work ethic. He even made it to school after his grandma passed away. Oh, wow. Having promised her, he would always do well in school

and he used that as motivation to keep going. He was honored with the valedictorian medal by the school's head and delivered a speech to 32 classmates. ABC 11. Great job. James Brown. Oh, get back. Get back. Got to school.

I feel good. There you go. That's what's all about. That was tell me something good. Now time for the morning, corny. The morning corny. Why was the computer cold? Why?

Because it left its windows open. That was the morning corny. You like that? Yeah, I did. I did. Good one. Yeah, I mean, you have to know what windows. I think most people do.

Microsoft Windows. That's been around since like the 90s. I think we're good. Does Morgan know? Yeah. Yeah, she doesn't have it. She has a window. Yeah.

Okay. I think I think Morgan's four. Well, I just, it felt, it felt. You know what window is there? You know, baby? I do know what they don't win no dark. The joke felt a little elderly, geriatric. I liked it.

It was good. Okay. So sometimes if you're flying in the plane lands, everybody jumps up immediately, kind of annoying, especially if they're in like the middle and back because he ain't going anywhere. So finally, and this isn't here in the States, but a lot of even the most fun food starts overseas and comes. They test it in other places. But finally, a new rule in Turkey finds airplane passengers who stand up before the

plane stops to keep them from all jumping up as soon as it lands wow okay this is where you went with it i thought a listener wrote in and told on me what well we need to talk about this in a minute yeah probably okay then that's what we'll do we'll talk about this coming up yes my heart you told on yourself and that's she felt so guilty she told on herself okay i didn't do much wrong but the turkish directorate general of civil aviation says because too many people are ignoring other space and then it slows down the exit, which then slows down the planes to get cleaned, which then slows down the travel time, there are delays, all because I won't say morons, because Amy's about to, right, all because wonderful people that probably make a decision a little too quickly.

No, I think you'll be on my side when I explain it. I cannot wait to probably not be on your side. So I thought that was pretty, I don't know if it's funny, but I never thought about it in the terms of it slows everything down. And it could cause a flight to potentially be delayed, all because some goobers jumping up way too early, even though they can't get off. So that's from MSN. Time to play. Riddle me this. These are all kids riddles. Amy, you'll go first. I buzz, but I'm not a phone. I make honey, but I'm not a shop. What am I? A bee? Correct.

Thank you. I didn't say this, but since you won, your celebration, you get to walk over and spit in their face. Oh, what? No, no, no, no, I said that. No, each of them. You want to do that? Oh, whoa. Zero to decide.

Like, that would bring me no satisfaction. That sounds weird. It would bring no satisfaction for me either. I didn't know if you wanted that. No. Okay, okay. Do you want another one? Sure.

Do you want to go another round against them? To prove your dominance, but you do have a chance to lose. Well, but this already counts as a win. That is one win. Okay. That's fine. But if you lose, then you got to do a tiebreaker. Okay.

Okay. Amy, you can blow me up, but I'm not mad. I float in the air and make parties glad. What am I? Eddie, if you do, again, you got a yellow card. Eddie just got annoying. That's right.

Because we did it overall, so I didn't know if it was like we're wiping out the other and the overall is just me or if it's two me won him.

No, they all count. Yeah, that's three games. You won two games, Eddie won one game. Yeah. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. 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 podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything.

Here at the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the like the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president.

Those law crusade. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good one. I like that snake. It is an actual Polish saying.

It is an actual Polish name. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was.

I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show 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 Bucconista 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.

a redacted amount of years later. We're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer?

Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just hit it. Oh, what are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would.

Come on. Could you, I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot knife. through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic.

You are. I'm lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team, and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms

Hey, me lunchbox, more game two. Steve Redavitt's trying to put you through. Mike is right in this week's next bit. Now Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is. This is the Bobby Vaughn's store. Hey, I want to talk to Abby for a second. She did like a 60-hour fast. Uh-huh.

What the heck? Yeah, I did it. So it was like you can only have water or black coffee, but I don't. like black coffee, so I just had water. That's crazy. 60 hours? I actually went 62. Why?

Because you slept? Yeah, a little. Is that not crazy? That's crazy. Did you feel terrible? What was your up and down? Oh my gosh. A day and a half in, I was not well at all.

Like, I was shaky, dizzy. I felt really dehydrated and I was throwing up, but there was nothing to throw up. And it turns out I was just low on my electrolytes, so I had some sodium, like sea salt. And then that helped. Did you ever feel great? Because people will say, there's a certain part of the fast where you just feel amazing. Yeah. Later that day.

When it was over, you got to eat? No, I felt so energetic. I thought it'd be hangary, you know, and I'd have road rage and I'd be mad. But I didn't have coffee or anything. And I was so energetic. And so what's happened with you? So I've noted, like, you have to really ease into eating because you're not used to digesting anything.

And like any type of sugar has messed me up. I had a cookie last night. I am not well. at all. I do not feel good. It's just like not settling at all. I think it's like the insulin spike because you have like insulin sensitivity is what it helps with. So do you recommend the 60 hour fast. Yes. Why? I do. Like there's mental clarity. It gets rid of like bad cells in your body. It helps with like. Do you see like the bad cells come out? Because if not I don't trust it. I know. I know, I need to see the bad cells like come out of a hole or I don't, how do I know? Well, no, I didn't see them. But you know, I've read that it

does. So I'm going with that. I'm sorry about the cookie. Congratulations. Thanks. I think everybody should do it. Everybody in here, let's do it. Everybody who doesn't have a history with any kind of like eating disorder stuff. I think that's pretty, that's stated already. That would be like, you know, anybody, any other suggestion, it's like, well, you know, if you're allergic to milk, don't do the milk chug challenge. Right. I know. I just like to throw that in. Which I am allergic to milk. And Eddie had to see that. Dude, I felt bad for you for the first time because you've talked about like, yeah I can't eat daring. We're like, wah, wow, like so sad. Can't eat ice cream. But no, we went out to eat. And I was like, he cannot order anything because everything Bobby tried to order, they're like,

that has cheese in it. And he's like, can you take the cheese out? No, they kind of cook it with the cheese. It's already in there. This has cream in it. I mean, it was almost impossible for you to find food. And for the first time, I'm like, this is a serious deal. I didn't think. I didn't think about how much food has dairy in it. Yeah. What does your doctor say about lack of? Lack. Tate. Can you take lactate? I haven't. Okay. I don't know if that's good or bad for you. I just know I see commercials. My father-in-law takes lactate. Like if eats ice cream, he'll take like 10 lactates.

I don't want to take 10 of anything. Yeah, I don't either. If it has butter, even in the... So it's like any croissant biscuit, any butter, any milk. And then I've cut it all out. I've had any at all. It's like Abby's cookie. I'm dead. That's a good example too. Like the bread. You couldn't even have bread. I know. With the butter. Well, bread usually is made with butter.

There was a certain kind of bread that I could have. But it was awful. Oh, that's true. So I'm now learned to respect the people that have food allergies and what they have to go through. Because mine's not even that bad. And it sucks real bad. Sorry, dude. I saw it firsthand, man.

I'm like, gosh, you can't even have what we're having. I couldn't. What I want to, I love lobster bisque. It's my favorite. Of all the bisks, maybe even all the soups, it's my favorite. I can't have it anymore because it's cream in it. Couldn't. It didn't matter what I couldn't have.

And then we were like, should we order it? Like I was right there watching it. It's what I deal with because I don't drink and people are like, should I drink alcohol around him? Hell yeah. Hey, guys, have all the milk you want. Okay. We went to Branson, sort of. We went to a big Cedar Lodge and we went up just for the day.

It was me and Eddie, my father-in-law and my brother-in-law DJ. And we just wanted to play golf and hang out and stay in the cabin. It's awesome. It's the greatest golf like trip we've ever had. It was super cool. And I guess the only bad thing about I couldn't eat any milk. It's pretty sad, man. Or eat any dairy.

Yeah. Any dairy. Yeah. Otherwise, because, I mean, you don't want to miss out on some of that because then you'd be in the bathroom. Which was a big part of my life. Like, I think I spent a third of my life in the bathroom. Really? Yeah.

And like when you're out at an awesome place like that, you do not. Is it better now? You don't go to the bathroom as much? I guess I haven't noticed that. I actually. If he eats the stuff. Okay. Let's do bathroom talk. So I actually go to the bathroom more than I ever have because I would not use the bathroom for like four days.

Because it would just mess up my stomach so bad. And that's been bathroom talk. I'm glad we have. on the Bobby Bone Show. Amy also was talking earlier on the show about she was going to tell on herself. You want to do it now? Yeah. So you're on an airplane?

I feel like you might be on my side. I just normally don't speak up like this. And I didn't say it directly to the people, but what reminded me of is the people got up and they started walking out before it was their turn. So when you're de-plaining, like the plane has landed and everybody stands up, right? Well, then they start walking off. And these people behind us, like, we're standing up. I'm about to get off with my kids and the row across from me. We're patiently waiting.

Everybody goes. And then the people behind us just like swoop in and walk in front of us. And we have to get up and get our luggage. And so I look at the people across the aisle. And this is why I thought maybe they might have been a listener and they called in the toll on me. Because I was like, I was like, I just do not understand people like that. I don't. Wait, did you say that out loud?

Did you say something to them? I said it out loud. I think I meant to like in my head. What did you say exactly? I just don't understand people. like that. Were you pointing at them? They knew exactly what I was talking about. They know what they were doing? It was two

women who I thought, I obviously, I think I figured out my biggest pet peeve and it's that because I got worked up and I think I said it a little bit loud like thinking maybe they'll hear me and the people around me seemed a little bit unbothered

by it so then I was sort of like why is nobody bothered by this? Like this is the thing. I don't understand like common decency would be to just wait for the other people. So then I look at my kids and I say, see what they just did? Out loud? Out loud?

Yes, sir. That's what I'm talking about now. Yep. And my kids are like, what? And I said, we don't do that. I hate a line. So then I want to just talk them through. Like, that's what we don't do.

Because if they're ever flying without me, I would be mortified if they cut and did that, like, deplane to that way. So then for probably like a good five minutes walking through the terminal, I'm lecturing them on. airplane etiquette and how we don't do that. No, human respect. Cutting line is one of my biggest pet peeves too and they cut line. Yeah, but I don't understand. Like, why do you think that's okay? Like, were they just never taught airplane? Maybe they didn't know though. That's also. No, I feel like they had traveled

before. Maybe they're bad people. So then. What if you have a connection? It's only one of the two. That I understand. If you have a connection and you say, hey, I'm so sorry, I'm in a hurry. Like, go right ahead. I don't care. Go all day long. But it's when you see we're clearly standing up trying to go get our luggage and then you just like swoop in and keep walking. That doesn't make sense to me. So that's what I voiced out loud and I thought a listener maybe heard me getting all around up. If you are a listener, please call us or leave us a voice mail. Because I felt a little, I think my kids were like, mom, we don't really care, let it go. And I'm like, no, this matters. You were in the right. We're getting older though. It's like I couldn't let it go. And I know it seems

silly, but it's just, it doesn't make sense. Like, that's something that doesn't make sense to me. People cutting? Just doing that on an airplane. I know you. Well, I'm glad. Thanks for sharing that with us. Hey, thanks for being vulnerable. Thank you, Amy. I think you need a weekend at Big Cedar Lodge like us.

I think she feels stressed out. Because we feel great. Yeah, we feel great. We went cabin, golf, had good food, the whole thing. You need one of those. It sounds like maybe your stress is building. It didn't feel that vulnerable. I just felt like I probably shouldn't have said it that way that loud.

And I don't let them know. No, I don't know that they really cared. The student got this teacher tattooed on him as a tribute. The teacher didn't die. So you tell me if this is sweet or weird. Jacob Salisbury, known as Mr. Salisbury, received a sweet tribute to one of his high schoolers from People magazine. A Michigan high school student named Josie 16 went viral for getting a tattoo in honor of her choir teacher and theater teacher.

Josie tells people she got inked after learning Mr. Salisbury would be leaving his job to go back to school. She tells people about their close bond and the meaning behind their tattoo. I don't know. I'll probably check out a couple things. Yeah. Red Bull, just redfoil. It's not like his face or anything. What is it, just his name?

It's like a music note with a heart. Hmm. A heart. It's like a, it's like the music note kind of looks like an eh. Bro, I don't know. It's weird. She's 16. How should get a tattoo as well?

Yeah. Unless her parents are like giving her permission slip. And then the parents are like, yeah, I get a tattoo of your music teacher. Yeah. I don't know that anything's happening. Obviously, I just read the story. It feels a little weird. Amy?

I know. Definitely is feeling weird. for sure. Lunchbox. Oh, that is super creepy. To commemorate their close bond, parents need to be looking into emails and burner phones and whatever else was going on.

Whatever else you were fine, because that seems very weird. It does seem weird. We know nothing else about it, but that seems weird. I mean, even the teacher, say everything's, he's in the clear, there's nothing weird going out. He's got to also think this is weird. Yeah, I think I'd be like, oh, man, now everybody's

going to think I'm weird. Yeah. It's like, I didn't do it. anything. She just decided to get the tattoo. I'm not weird. From Oddity Central, it's harder to cheat on someone with technology these days. One woman caught her husband cheating after noticing suspicious data from his electric toothbrush. A woman discovered her husband's affair after noticing unusual brushing times on their smart electric toothbrush app. Meant to track her kids hygiene, the app showed the toothbrush was being used on Friday mornings when her husband was supposedly at work. Suspicious, she eventually had

covered he'd been skipping work and having an affair. Whoa. And then brushing his teeth. Yeah. After makeout session. Well, I'd say more than that probably. So they all got the app so they could tell that the kids were brushing their teeth. And they all got on it together so they could be like, look, we're all doing it.

And the husband was brushing his teeth on Friday morning when she was checking for the kids. But why was he brushing his teeth Friday morning when he should be at work at this hour? But he wasn't at work. He was getting it on like Donkey Kong. Okay. He can't get a burner toothbrush? I mean, come on, dude. I guess I wouldn't even thought about that.

I never even thought about a burner toothbrush, to be honest with here. People with higher IQs prefer going to bed later at night and getting up later in the morning. The conclusions come from a study of adolescent. Does you pull this story for yourself? This conclusion comes from a study of adolescent bedtimes and their adult IQ. Researchers found that on a weekday, the very bright young people went to bed around 1 a.m. and got up around 8 a.m. on average, in contrast, The very dull went to bed hours earlier and woke up before 7 a.m.

That's from personality and individual difference, a research journal. I'm telling you, I'd go to bed at 4 in the morning and wake up at noon every day if I could. That's my natural sleep time. Yeah, but so would I, and we don't have the same IQ. This is so dumb. Maybe you're smarter than you think. I don't think so. A Burger King employee who worked a last-minute shift in graduation close after his graduation was seen working.

Someone took a picture of it, posted it. got $17,000 in donations. What? Just hours after graduating from Mills Creek High School, 18-year-old Mikhail Baker had to go to his job of Burger King because he needed someone last minute. He was still wearing his graduation attire when he arrived. And people took a picture of him and did a video and they posted it and people were like,

what's he doing? He was like, well, I still had it on. I'm taking my clothes off yet from graduation. He didn't have the hat on. But I'd do that. Yeah. And so, yeah, then people started raising a ton of money. money for him. That's awesome. He basically had on just like his shirt underneath it and the,

it's like a sash thing. I got one for being like an honor graduate, but I don't know what it's called. A ribbon, like a. We didn't have those. Ropes. I didn't have one. Ropes. Yeah, I didn't have those either. Yeah, he still had like that on. Yeah. He's wearing him like I wore my pickleball bronze medal the other day. That's pretty good. But yeah, good for him. Went to work and got rewarded for you for it. That's from the New York Post. The enhanced games are happening. It's a sports competition where they encourage everybody to roid up. Take all the steroids, take all the performance. And then you compete?

So they don't care? They recommend it. That's crazy. Marketed as an event to remove the stigma of using PEDs and to safely push the limits of human athletic performance enhanced games has been nicknamed the Olympic Games on steroids. Oh. 52825 is enhanced.com. Well, I guess everybody has the same edge.

I mean, that's what's the problem. with it. Isn't there a health issue? Yeah, I mean, oh, I'm definitely worried about some of them like falling over. That's also why there's been no streamer pick it up yet because it's like almost encouraging unhealthy. Well, but they're adults, so they know what they're doing. Maybe. Do you follow the guy that's trying to reverse his age?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy that has the Don't Die Summit? I don't follow him. I don't know about the Summit, but yeah. My friend went. He looks kind of like. He's on Twilight. Yes.

Yeah. And I think he's in his 40s and he looked and it's like, look how young he looks and he looks and he looks about three years younger. But his whole life he lives perfectly to try to age backward. He was on the Kardashians. He was? Yeah. That's what really blew him up.

I mean, he was gaining a lot of attention before. But he has these summits and my friend went to it. Like she got invited so she didn't pay for it herself, but a friend that was going like paid for everything and she just went along for the ride and she said it was crazy. That's Brian Johnson. Yes. Someone told me they were a big fan of Brian Johnson, and I was like the singer of ACDC, and they were like, no, the guy who's aging. And so he's a billionaire entrepreneur and venture capitalist, known for Project Blueprint to reverse aging.

He's 47. I mean, he looks about 43. I mean, is it worth all that word? But I think his biological age, like, what is, isn't he like 12 or something? I don't know. I did my biological age. He was like 19. I'm kidding.

He's not 12. But, I mean, his biological age is pretty young for 47. And his life, though, seems very boring and sad. Like, maybe you're going to live longer. Yeah, but... Yeah, well, you guys said that about me until like a year ago, too. I don't know. Yeah.

Okay, cool. That's the news. Thank you. Those were Bobby's B. Stories. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Norrie up the day.

This story comes us from Florida. A 32-year-old woman went out to dinner at a steak house, sat at the bar, had a few drinks, ate her steak. Bill comes. $92, ma'am. Oh, no, I'm not paying that. That's way too much money. I'm not paying it. They call police and they say, what's going on?

She goes, oh, they overcharge me. They overcharge me. Officer says, why don't you come outside? We'll talk about it. We'll figure it out. They go outside. And she goes, why don't you just leave me alone? And boom, punches them in the testicles.

Oh. Well? Was she overcharged? Well, I think she was overserved. Well. Well, yeah, the old testicle punch, though, just all the rest of it, I forgot about. That's got to be a bigger charge, huh? Like, testicle punch on a cop.

Well. Okay. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. I do want to date people on this lunchbox story. He took his bike in and he says, hey, I need you to fix this tire. They charged him to fix the tire. But now his chains all messed up.

And he's like, I want to get a full refund because my chain's messed up. Yeah, it was falling off like every 20 minutes. would just fall off. I'd have to stop the bike, flip it over, put the chain back on. It was something that they did when they fixed my tire. But you wanted to refund for the pop tire? Yeah, because I'm going to have to take the bike back. It's inconvenient. It's a time out of my day. So I took it back. And I said, oh, does this mean I get a refund? And he goes, no, but I can fix it for you real quick. Which is precisely what we said. And he threw it up on the little machine. And I was in and out in 10 minutes, but no refund. Did they admit it was their fault?

He goes, oh yeah, I must have done something when they changed the tire. That was it. No apologies or anything. Just sort of, oh, yeah, but we can fix it real quick. You're not happy with the fact they just fixed it? And they didn't charge you for fixing it? Well, how would they charge me? They broke it.

But they didn't, they for sure didn't break it. Like there's no proof they broke it, circumstantial evidence? Circumstantial is they'd be proven guilty in the court of law because it never fell off in the two and a half years I've had the bike. And then I get my tire fixed in the 4.4. days after that, it's falling off every 20 minutes. They did it. And they knew they did it. The look on their face, let me know they knew they messed up. The look.

You got him with the look and the circumstantial evidence. Your Honor. Not only am I presenting this circumstantial evidence. Take a look at this look. Yeah, sent him to jail. Look at those eyes when I said, oh, the chain keeps falling off after you guys fixed my tire. He's like, oh, that's probably, yeah, that's probably us. Okay, I bet he didn't say, yeah, that's probably us.

I think you're making up. No, his eyes said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The way his eyes were like, oh, that's right. So you got no refund. but the chain is fixed. The chain is fixed. They said, there's no way this will come off now. There you go.
