Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Hey, welcome, we're back. Morning, studio.

Morning. My smelling salts here. These have been here since before the break. Wake up? Ah, they're kind of dead, though, now. Oh. Not totally, but yeah. They're so ammonia smelling.

That's the point, though, right? But it's so ammonia that my grandma and I used to clean apartments, houses and condos when I was, like, 13 to, after, up until high school. So I've gone up with her, and that's what we do. We clean these apartments nearby or these little rental places, these condos are called cozy acres. And we use so much ammonia because people are disgusting when they stay in a hotel or a condo. Like, they don't care. They're like pooping the floor. They really don't, but people just don't care. It's like a rental car. People just don't care. Yeah. And so we use so much ammonia all the time on everything. And that ammonia is in all kinds of stuff. Mr. Clean, any of that chemical stuff that used. And when I smell this, I think part of the reason I'm so like not just like blown away by it, but like that gives me a negative feeling is all the freaking gross cleaning we had to do. And I think I just had that breakthrough right now. You're saying pneumonia, right? Not pneumonia? Yeah, that's pinid pneumonia. Put a pneumonia is a disease or like a...

Like a respiratory thing. Illness that comes from something else. Yeah. Like it's... Yeah, but this is ammonia. That is that cleaning smell. Like your custodian at high school probably smelled like that.

But yeah, that's where that is. Glad everybody's here. Amy, you good? Yeah, doing great. I saw Amy and Eddie last night at my wife's birthday party. So whenever we got here and we had seen each other in weeks. it wasn't even like what up oh good to see you saw you 24 hours ago as a matter of fact eddie and i looked at each other like oh same clothes last night yeah amy wore different clothes yes i did look at you shocking so and then i should apologize to morgan um i hastily was

and i'll say this without saying it so nobody comment on this this thing i'm saying whenever i get on instagram and i put a hey because i get so many dms asking me all kinds of bullcrap that I'm like, hey, once every week and a half or so, I'll just go ask it. That way they can put it in a little question, and I'll just answer questions on Instagram. There's a question I get a lot that HR has told me I cannot talk about on the show, at least now, about the staffing of this show. It has nothing to do with the prediction that somebody's leaving, but there's something that happened on this show, and then I had nothing to do with the effects of it, but all the same people aren't here. Fair? Is everybody know where I'm going? Is it what I'm saying?

I think so. I think I got it. Okay. And this first question is, what happened with this? And I can't answer. Because HR was like, you cannot talk about that right now. Don't know why. I had nothing to do with it other than the segment. I just should stop talking. So quickly, in order to let like read between the lines, I was like, well, see you when the show comes back. And I just listed everybody. and the first one I put up, I forgot, like, three people. And then I, and then I didn't, and I had Morgan on the first one, but then I had Morgan on the second one. And everybody's like, Morgan's gone. And Morgan was like, am I gone? Because she saw it too. Morgan's not gone.

That was, that message was kind of like a read between the lines. Like, I would love to talk about it, but I can't. But I left Morgan off and they went back and fixed it, but Morgan's here. Oh, okay. I guess I saw the one where Morgan was on there. So I didn't know. It was brief, but Morgan saw the bat signal, thought she was gone. I thought I'd been eliminated without, you know, knowing.

A terrible way to find out. But that's why I posted. Yeah. An Instagram Q&A. Well, I posted like, we can't wait to be back and listen. Every single person that works here on the show. But I didn't have Morgan up there. And then people thought it was Morgan.

Yeah, I got a flood of messages of people like, Morgan's like, are you leaving the show? That's on me. No, no. The first one I put up had you in it. And then I put up a new one because I had, forgot other people. And then I forgot you in that one. Whatever.

There's that. I wanted to address that. But we're back. I'm happy to be back. I like work. I don't like the morning part of it. I hate the morning part of it. Like, I hate it.

So, that's all. You can't use, like, another two weeks? Two weeks off? Oh, I could. I could, too. I was getting tired of it. What? What I could use is another two weeks of not waking up early at starting the show at, like, noon?

And then just putting it on the next day. that is what I would do. I have so many notes of things I wanted to talk about during the break. All I was doing was like, oh, this would be fun. I'm conditioned to just write notes down for things that I think will be good topics and stuff. But no, I was ready to come back. I just was not ready to wake up. But it's also like first day of school where I have a lot of energy today.

It's the first day. Tomorrow I'll be like, then I got to work myself back into my normal pattern. But my sleep schedule, Amy, is like, after about four or five days, I was going to bed at 3 a.m. waking up at 11 or noon. Yeah. Like that's my natural sleep schedule.

And so I'm only doing this for the people. Your whole life. Dude, I've been doing mornings at 22 or 23. I mean, over 20 years of waking up at this god awful time. I'm almost done. What does that mean? I don't know. I don't even know what it means, but I'm almost done.

Check Instagram. Once you know, like, let us know. Right. Yeah, I'll let you know by listing out people that I won't see at work tomorrow. Yeah, we're here ready to go. Thank you guys. We have a lot to talk about. But let's get going now.

Good morning. And we're back. All right, here's the voicemail. Go ahead. I'm a fairly new listener, maybe within like the last year or so. And I was just curious to see if you guys were able to share just like some backstories on your radio names and how each of you guys met before coming on to the show.

I was also curious to see what your educational background was, if you're willing to share that. And the last thing is thank you guys for the advice. I was going to called in about getting out of the work. conversations when you're kind of sitting there for like 30, 45 minutes and you can't find a way to escape it. But anyways, love to show, guys. Oh yeah, I remember that. I like that one because I was like, yeah, you say to anybody, oh yeah, I'd love to talk to you. I got to have 10 minutes. Yeah, what's up? Because then they're, they never feel rushed and you establish quickly what your

boundary is. It's not going to talk on the phone. I do that. I hate talking on the phone. Almost more than I hate opening a trash bag. Flap, the liner. That sucks. But the phone, it doesn't matter who it is. I hate talking on the phone. I appreciate that. So, Thank you for listening. Backstories, my real last name is not Bones. It was forced upon me when I was 17 years old. And they said, your name can be Bones or Bobby Z. And I was like they both are terrible.

But I went with Bones. Amy's real name. Yeah, Amy. Lunchbox has got eight different stories. It's how you got his name. You quickly give him one of them. In third grade, I wanted a Superman lunchbox from Walmart. And my mom wouldn't let me get it.

So I tried to shoplift it by sticking it under my shirt. And as we were walking out of the store, my mom said, is there something under your shirt? And I said, no. And she said, are you sure? And I said, yes. And she went knock, knock, knock. And I had to go give it back to the manager.

And they made fun of me since I was in third grade. It was a lunchbox. Yep. An actual lunchbox. That's a good one. Eddie's real name. That's my name, Eddie. Education backgrounds.

Let's see. Amy, we all have different ones because I have a bachelor's degree. I have a doctorate, too, by the way. I forgot about that University of Arkansas, honorary doctorate. But I don't need to go to college to do what we do. But I did. I was the first person to graduate high school and my family and college. That was important to me.

Graduated college while doing radio. And that was it. And we all thought Amy had too. Yeah. And one day she hit us with the revelation that she had not been telling the truth. I came on air saying that I was three credits short. But I shared with you that I had just signed up for the class. And I completed it.

And I finally got my diploma. Because I did walk the stage. And it appeared as though. I had graduated Class of O3 from Texas A&M. And that's what my Aggie ring says, all the things. But my diploma, if you look closely, it says 2008. We'll take it. Because that's when I got the real one.

Because when I walked across the stage, they handed me an empty tube. And Lunchbox, by the way, it's very similar to Amy's story. But he's three credits short and just like, screw it. Yeah, but why do they let us walk, you know? Yeah, because you're supposed to finish that summer. Right, you're supposed to take it that summer. Love's already taking it. I was in progress.

And then I just was like, ah, I'm done. We all met in Austin, Texas. I was doing a night show that was doing mornings by myself. And then just started, I didn't have any money to hire anybody. So I just basically grabbed people that would kind of work for free because I basically was. And lunchbox basically was. Met him at a bar.

And he didn't have a microphone the first like six months of the show. And he was also working at Sam's Club at the same time. So is that why he yells so much? He didn't have a microphone. He's just used to it. He just has to yell across the room. Amy was working at a rock cell. Oh, I don't know.

Natural stone importer, ex-sorder. Yeah. There's granite, marble, travertine. Metter at Culvers. Eddie was my local TV producer. It was a long time ago. I know, man. Mike D was an intern who I met on MySpace.

MySpace. Crazy. And he was like, can I intern? And I was like, yeah, I guess. I don't know what that is. And Ray was an intern. We've been together for 100 years. I love you guys.

I know. A long time. Yeah, you and lunchwalk's the longest. I think y'all are like 20-something. we're at 18 and a half maybe. Dang, we can vote. Lunchbox and I can. We can drink alcohol.

We can drink alcohol. Amy and I can vote. Yep. So yeah, that's the story. We weren't put together by the corporation. A lot of times, you know, we weren't like that. We were like the ugly kid. But I don't know.

We didn't sound like anybody else. They wanted to sound like a real show. With big, deep voices. We never had the deep voices. We never were. But now here we are. I don't know. That's the story. Kind of cool to hear the whole thing.

I mean, that's like the super fast version. But we, yeah, the company did not put us together. And I think they held that against us for a long time. Not the same people at the company now. But we weren't like a product of the company. We were just a bunch of people that we had no money. So a bunch of friends just got together. And slowly we're in one city.

And then four, because I bought some cheap equipment. And then next thing you know, bam. Here we are. Bam. Oh, and I don't. I think it's. It's interesting, too, that we started out pop, like pop music, and then now we've been country, and I love the switch so much.

I mean, and that was something really random that happened that we were not expecting. I feel like Bobby secretly left town. You didn't even know where you were going. And then all of a sudden we get a phone call and you're like, um, Nashville. Kind of, yeah. Kind of, yeah. That's the movie version. Yeah, that's the movie version.

I was, whenever I was doing pop, I was always, hey, you're too country to do pop. Then I got to country like, you're too pop to do country. Never kind of fit in anywhere. But that showbiz baby. But yeah, that's our quick version of the story. I appreciate you asking about that. Then Morgan was born. Oh, yeah.

The baby just came into our life. Somebody dropped her off at the door. At the front door. I know, I know. Yeah, thanks for asking that. It's the anonymous end box. Well, we're going to get into one here, New Year, so this is a big one. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My holiday break was spent dealing with a lot of stress. I'm wondering if my... My husband is cheating on me. A week before Christmas, I was grabbing extra wrapping paper from the garage and stumbled upon my husband's hiding stash of gifts. A couple of electronics, a box of shoes, clothes. But what stood out was a jewelry box. I obviously didn't say anything because I didn't want to ruin the surprise. But to my surprise, I wrapped all the gifts.

I saw everything except the jewelry box. I haven't said anything to my husband, but now I've been questioning the last. few months and wonder if I've been blind to red flags of him working extra hours, being exhausted all the time. I thought it was all him just being tired from the crazy end of the year time. But is it possible he's just been keeping secrets from me? How do you think I should approach this? Signed, red flag missing wife. So there are a lot of directions we will go here first. I will say this. That sucks. I'm sorry that happened. But if that's the only red flag-ish thing that you've noticed so far, then you're probably okay.

I think humans and you guys, with your intuition, you kind of see a few things and you know. Like your gut loves you know. If that's the only thing, I'm going to lead toward just figuring out where that jewelry went before I'm going to go. He's for sure cheating. So if there are other red flags you skipped over

now that you look back and you go, oh, you know, the exhausted and work thing, I don't know that that's... They say that that's kind of an education. But during Christmas, I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exaltzing all the time. Because that is common with this time.

So I hear you. That could be a flag. Amy, I will go to you first. Yeah, are there any other people that the ring could have gone to? Is there a sister or mom or the jewelry? I guess I would just say jewelry.

I don't know what's a ring. I know. I don't know either. But is there anybody else that would fit that? I know. That's what I was thinking. I would be shopping for. I would have to ask, though.

I mean, that's the next best thing you can do is say, hey, I came across this piece of jewelry. And now I'm very curious where. is. So let's talk about it. I think the fact that this is such a fundamental part of your life, you don't dilly dally with it. You just have to go, hey, look, I found all the gifts beforehand. I don't want to run Christmas. There was a jewelry box. And I don't know, I don't know what that was for. And now I'm feeling kind of weird about it. Just say that I don't, again, I'm big on

not putting people on their heels with accusations and making it feel defensive because they will react in ways that aren't even honest to themselves if people are reacting. You say, I'm just, whatever the question has, I saw that and I'm just curious. Like, what even was that? If he then starts to be defensive, you know something's up. You don't want to make him defensive. But if he then is defensive when you're not making him defensive, big old fat red flag swinging in your face. But you have to ask.

I wouldn't even monitor for other red flags because this is going to bother you so much. It's going to affect your day to day. It's going to affect your relationship with him to kids every minute, every second. So I would find a time. I would not approach him aggressively. I would bring it up in a comfortable setting when nobody else is around and be like, hey, I got to miss something. Even almost like you're like confessing to something.

Because all you're doing is putting him in a situation to answer in a non-reactive tone. So he's not feeling defensive and see if he gets defensive. even say too i'm i'm i'm trying to assume the best here but first say look i got to admit something i don't like this about myself but i was snooping and i saw the gifts that's good that's on me so so i loved everything you got me i shouldn't have done it i didn't want to run the surprise but what was in there i did see like a jewelry box oh what was that what was that for just like that and then watch them and if it's easy and it's like oh yeah it was for i was holding it my buddy at work john his wife so she didn't see it And if he answers so calmly and is very collected, you got nothing to worry about.

Really? You'll be able to judge on, boom, right? Exactly how his face does right then. If he gets defensive, something's up. But you can't make him defensive with how you ask the question. You're having too much fun with this. Well, that's how. It's important to her not to make him defensive with the question.

We've got to be a buffalo. Okay. What does that mean? Buffaloes go into the storm so they get through it faster. Cows turn away from the storm thinking they're avoiding it, but the storm catches up to them, and then they're in the storm longer. This is one of those things.

If you sit on it, you're going to be in your own agony for months, speculating, and there could be an easy answer, or you could get through the hard stuff faster. Be the buffalo. Don't go into the storm. Don't make a storm, though.

No, no, no. The storm can happen after you find a storm. Oh, this is an analogy. I hear you, but don't make a storm. Make it the most pleasure. Make it a beach vacation when you have the conversation. Then it's a storm. Yes, you can be a sweet buffalo.

Yes, just it's all chill. Bring it up, chill. admit a new shouldn't have snooped. And watch his. reaction when you don't make him defensive. If he's defensive, red flag. That's fun to figure out. Hopefully he's not. I bet he's not. I would

think he's not. I bet he's not. Okay. Thank you. That's the mailback. Close it up. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself

and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John Holbroke.

Danny Moreno of Central Point, Oregon. at the movie theaters with his family, watching Moana 2. When all of a sudden in the middle of the theater, someone goes, help, help. My daughter's not breathing.

This six-year-old girl has a heart condition, and she wasn't breathing. And he's like, I'm a retired fire captain. I know what to do. Gets down there. Who, who, who, who. CPR, till the paramedics arrive. Lucky for them. Girls out of the hospital later that night.

Nice. That's good. I was also wondering how long he do who, who, who, who. And a little bit of me was hoping he would just keep going to test this. No, no, yeah, yeah. I could feel that people get annoyed with who-hoo-hoo for a whole minute. Oh, we wait for, let the dogs out. I was waiting for that, too.

No, it's awesome, though. Like, guy jumped into action. Did they stop the movie? Probably no. It depends how, probably eventually. At first, no, because you don't really know what's going on. But then probably, as it got into. Dude, I saw on TikTok.

Yeah, right. Or you just give their money back. I saw on TikTok, these guys were watching, they paid to go to movie theater and watched like Elf or something. They were showing it. And they were showing it on the app. TV and they didn't mean to show it, but on the screen was the person going through the Apple TV to put it up on the theater screen.

That's funny. Yeah. Hilarious. I mean, what's the difference, really? But still, it was funny that that was shown. Yeah, but isn't it cool that it was a movie theater? Movie theaters are good for something, man. If he wouldn't have been there, if he would have said, I'm just going to watch it on my TV at home,

he wouldn't have saved a life. You're really stretching there about. Okay, there we go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right, Lunchbox wanted to get to the bottom of something. We love this. He's investigating.

Eddie said he wanted to give a kid, and then couldn't, then wanted to give bone marrow, and then you couldn't because you're too old. I did the research. Couldn't do it because I'm over 40. Lunchbox went after this. So he made some calls. So here's the voicemail, first of all,

that started the whole thing. Go ahead. Hi, Bobby and Crew. I'm calling on behalf of NMDP. We run the most diverse blood stem cell and bone marrow registry in the world. And we heard all of you guys talking about Eddie's contract. We are happy to answer all in every one of your questions.

I'm happy to connect and chat. truth and stuff. So Eddie said on the air as sister's a nurse, which is true. Correct. She said, you're too old. Yeah, we got online, went to a registry, and it said, uh-uh, you're too old when I put my birthday in there. And the investigator reporter that he is, mostly just wants to sturch, you know.

Uh-huh. He made a call. Who to lunchbox? I called that lady back because I was like, she works for the most diverse registry in the whole world. Like, she'll know the answer to... Mexican? No, because it was age.

Oh, got it. I know if it was like a diverse. That's what she said. on the call. Got it. Eddie just went to his sister who's like a nurse at like a doctor's office. In the hospital. And I'm like, she doesn't deal with bone marrow.

She has no idea. Eddie just trying to get out of it. Here's the call. Let's go. All right, we have Rosa on the phone. Rosa, tell me your credentials when it comes to bone marrow. I was calling on behalf of the NMDP. They do bone marrow and cell transplants through their registry.

Eddie is 45 years old. Does that exclude him from signing up and being a bone marrow donor? It does. Yes, yeah, you have to be between the ages of 18 to 40. No, because like, I'm so, hold on, hold on. I'm so sad because we thought, you know, he went to his sister and was like, oh, hey, and she's just like a nurse. Like, she's not like, and she said, yeah, you're too old.

So he just took that as the gospel. And I was like, Eddie, you didn't even call a bone marrow place. And so what you're telling me is that Eddie is ineligible and he was telling the truth. He was telling the truth. He was right. I know. I hate to tell you. So what you're telling me is, do you consider Eddie a geriatric patient now?

Yeah, yeah. We could call him that politely. Yeah, we could say a geriatric patient. Yeah, and, you know, I'm just so sad to hear that Eddie's ineligible because I also really wanted to donate bone marrow. But, man, I'm too old too. So crap, I can't do it either. Man, I was going to save lives, man, just like Eddie. Eddie's geriatric.

Just remember that when you go to work today. Well, you are too. But second of all, correct. Eddie's a nurse. I don't know why it's to be like, only nurse of a nurse and doctor. And thirdly, I could, we all were disappointed in whenever she said you were too old. Yeah, I mean, I knew she was going to say that because I did my research, but I don't know what this whole call was about. For her to say you're not too old and still to do it.

So I think, though, she should still find something and I don't know what it is. To donate? From your body. Yes. You know? Yes. I think it has to be something substantial. Yeah.

Like platelets? I got an idea. Blood? No, I can't do that. I can't do that. I would say, okay, this is what I'm going to say. In 2025, at some point, almost a new contract, we'll have them signed. Okay.

That you find something to donate that is meaningful and substantial. I don't mean money. I don't know what it is. It could be an X amount of time at a certain. Oh. I just think you owe the earth something from all of your proclamations that you're this guy that wants to give. Yeah, yeah. So if I present you with a new contract later on this week,

And you have the whole year. Can we commit to that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll donate something. Well, no, but it has to be something of substantial. Yeah, it's to be something that's going to change your life. Okay. Well, I have what you can donate while you're alive.

Well, we're not going to kill them, so. Exactly. So we know a kidney, a portion of your liver. I don't think it has to go in the body. You can donate skin. We're just going to find, get some time to think about this. Okay. Some time to think about this.

All right. And then we have the whole year to figure it out. Okay, I'm in. I like it. Because you've backed out of like nine things. Amy, I want to kill you. I don't know if you've heard this. No, no.

But she's ready to have you put down. She's like to donate my name. The heart. Yes. Okay. This week we'll have a contract. Okay. A new year, we're going to do it.

We have the top New Year's resolutions of 2025. We have 2,000 Bobby Bone Show listeners. We rolled the dice, Amy, your first. It's the Bobby feud. Top 10 answers. board. Amy. New Year's resolution for 2025. Save money.

Show me. Save money. What? Looks like literally the number one. It literally is not the number one. I'm looking at it. Yellow card for questioning the panel of the year. Wow, first yellow card of the year. Well, this is so much questioning you. I was questioning

the people dead. I was even hot all day. She's been on something all day. Okay. We like it. We like it. All right, yellow card. Lunchbox. Okay. Lose weight. Hit that ding. Number one answer. Oh, number one.

You got one point, but hey, you're on. You're killing it. You're man of the people. Let's go. Pay off debt. Pay off debt. Save money is not paying off debt. You're treading on thin ice over there.

Yeah. Two different things. Because you already have a yellow card and two yellow cards equals one red, and then one red keeps you out of the next game in this one. I know. I don't even watch soccer. I don't know how we started doing soccer rules. But anyway, Eddie?

People always come in with those big water jugs. So I'm going to go with Drink more water. Oh, that's a good one. Drink more water. Let's go. Go. What's funny is I'm looking at them, they all make perfect sense, but those are also good ones. So I'd like to you guys know, great job.

Thank you. Dude, I'm trying to calm her down. She's been on one all day. No. What does that mean been on one? You've been like fiery. Like we like it. We like it.

Normal. What in the world? See? And normally, see how she under breathed me? All right, here we go. Work out more? So workout more. exercise. Okay, got you on there. Okay, um, eat. Do you want to know which one that was?

Sure. Uh, so do I. Hey, Ray, which one was that one? I did it for lose weight, but it had already been called. Oh, so no, she got it wrong? Yes. Wait, but you can want to work out more and not lose weight. Workout more. It's not on there. That's why I asked Ray where it was on the list. And so he's okay. I'm in the resolutions do we have. Oh, guys, I'm going to, I'm about, We're so close to a second yellow card. That's a red card, which is a red card, I know. Oh my goodness. I know.

Lunchbox. Eat healthier. Show me eat healthier. This is crazy. It is crazy because all these, again, make perfect sense, but yours are awesome, too. I'm so confused. I think maybe you guys are a little too 10 years ago. Oh, it's different.

I'm just saying. You can't give him a hint. Why didn't get a hint? I have not added to my list. Huh. Well, I did based on that. Got it too. Eddie? Less social media.

Show me less social media. Number six. I didn't have written down. Cut down screen time. Number six. Okay, I thought you said you didn't add. I was just joking. You're a liar.

That'll allow, Amy. That's a pretty good cutter. We like that one. Okay, go ahead. I mean, this is not so new, but could be old school. Wait, second round. Second round? Yeah, 12 points there.

That's good. Yeah, go ahead. Let's go read more. Show me read more. That's the number eight answer. Wow! That tip helped you a lot, didn't it? No, the read more was already on the list.

What about find a new job? Find a new job. Crazy! That's worth six points. Number three answer. I'm on a heater. He's on a heater. I'm on a heater.

With an an a metric. The heat's coming at Amy's ears too right now. I'm looking at her. She's controlling herself, though. I can respect it. Eddie has 34 points right now. Let's go through them. 2000 by Boneshow listeners were asked. Resolutions for 2025. Number one, lose weight. Number three, get a new job. Number six, cut down screen time. Number eight, read more.

Stop cussing. Show me. Stop. Cousin. Drink less alcohol. Dang it. Alcohol. Round three triple points. That's your number two answer. Drink less alcohol. So one is lose weight. Two is drink less alcohol. Three is get a new job. Okay. Meditate. You just give up. Show me. I need to meditate right now. Okay, thank you very much. Meditate or reduce stress at number 10. At number 10.

That's what I'm talking about. Oh, no, she got 30 points there. She's now in the lead. Oh, my goodness. I got to buckle down. Meditate. You got a what? Buckle down.

It's not what I said. Thank you. I don't know. All I heard was at UCK. Yeah, no, no, no. No. More family friend quality time. Show me more quality time.

Incorrect, but Amy now is in the lead on round three with 36 points. Lunchbox, I'm counting yours up. You have one point. Yeah, it was unfortunate. I didn't get the hint about a... Wasn't really meant as a hint. I just kind of yelled it. Just the timing of the hint was suspicious.

But, hey, hey, New Year New Year's. What? Just say whatever you have a list. Travel more. Show me travel more. That's worth, that's the number four answer, worth 12 points. Boom, that's what I'm talking about. You have five, seven, and nine left.

You can still win this thing. Yeah, if you could go over them, please. Sure, lose weight, drink less alcohol, get a new job, travel more. That's one, two, three, and four. At number six, cut down screen time. At number eight, read more. And at number 10, reduce stress or meditate. Well, ah, man, that's tough.

Get more sleep. Show me sleep better. Your number nine answer with 27 points is sleep better. Did he take the lead there? Lunchbox has now officially taken the lead with 40 points. All I needed was that little jab, but when he said, let me count up your points. One. I actually did that jab to get me kind of.

But that was funny though. It was a good jab. I had to count them up. I want to catch you guys up every time. Lunchbox is now in the lead with 40 points. You have two left. Yeah, two left. Who, man.

We got a good game, though, now. Yeah, we got, we got, we get drama. It's high flutin drama. High flutin drama. I don't know if you know if flutin. It doesn't matter. I've never heard that before. Continue on.

Because if someone's high flutin, that means it's like better than you. Oh, he always high flutin. He's fancy. Okay, God, just want to make sense. Yeah, I'm trying to think how I'd explain this one, man. Just give it a rip. Keep in touch. You're going to reach out to your friends more.

Feels very similar to what Amy said, but let's see if that one. Let's see if that one's on the board. Okay, no. I don't really understand. Now, Lunchbox is in the lead. Eddie, there are two left. If you get it, you win either of the two, but if you miss it. Lunchbox wins the first game of 2025,

and he'd be so far the game winning in the leader of the year. Wow. I don't have a lot of choices here. You can talk them out because nobody can go after you. I did have another variation of friends just in case Amy didn't word it right and Lunchbox didn't word it right, but I'm not going with that. I feel like people like to. do good things. So when it's

the new year, I want to do something good with my time. So I'm going to go with volunteer more. It's a good one. What were some other ones on your list? That's all I had. Oh, you had no other ones? I had nothing else. You danced through all that and you just had one. Hey, Eddie, when you said friends, it made me think

make more friends. I mean, I had that I probably would have counted that in the friend because I... If they're vague, I kind of give you that. Volunteer more. Anyways, it's volunteer more. I think we're in trouble. Yeah! Five is my year!

Is it? It is right here! It is my year's so far. Hey, hey, you know what? My New Year's resolution is, win more games. It should be. It should be. You need that.

Well, to finish it out real quick, at number five, stop smoking or vaping. And at number seven, learn a new skill. And at number 11, which wasn't on the list, reach out and touch someone and be quality time with friends that you know and miss from over the years by doing. Got it. Got it. It was all years altogether. Yeah.

But our winner is lunchbox song. Yeah. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits,

unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.

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 Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here?

We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education, it's 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.

The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. and the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us.

I'm talking to people like award-winning actress, producer, and director, Eva Longoria. I think I had like $200 in my savings account, and my mom goes, what are you going to do?

And I was like, I'll figure it out. We got a one-bedroom apartment for like $400 a month, and we all could not afford. I was like, how am I going to make $100 a month? I'm opening up like I've never before. For those of you who think you know me from what you've seen on social media, get ready to see a whole new side of me. Listen to Against All Odds with Iris Palmer as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm going to make a prediction. I'm going to write it down. I'm going to seal it in an envelope. Now, if this prediction does not come true by the end of the year, I'll put on the wheel that we spend up to $500, then somebody can win in a bunch of cash. That's how for sure I feel about this prediction I'm going to make. I'm going to write it in marker.

So, Ray, if you could give me some prediction writing music, which for sure we have ready on cue because, of course, who doesn't? I'm writing down a bold prediction that I am so sure is going to happen this year that no camera on me, please, Eddie? Oh, okay. Let me change it. Man, you're writing real big. That sounds like a chalk and a chalk for it. Oh, man, that's giving me the chill. Yeah, you don't have to do that.

That gives me chills too. Okay. So this is actually me writing. Is this part of your telepathy stuff that you've been doing lately? That word you used. Yeah, that's right. Telepathy. Well, that's how it looks when it's written.

I'll be honest with it. That, yes. Okay. This will happen at some point this year. So it could be next, like in December or November? It could, but I believe it'll happen way before that. Oh. And it is something that when I know.

nail it, you'll be like, holy crap, how did you know? Our listeners will be like, holy crap, how did you know? I'm putting it in an envelope now. What does it have to do with? I can't tell you any of that for the second. I'm going to seal it. Taking a seal off. Boom.

I am going to write the date on it. What did you write in there again? Something that went. Huge prediction. It has to do. Okay, I'll say this with someone on this show. Well, I think we could have guessed that. No way.

Okay, it's not me. It's not, okay. Well, yeah, you can't predict something about yourself, can you? No, because then I can make it happen. Exactly. That wouldn't be fair. So here we are. Somehow, it's January 6th.

I'm riding it on the page. Eddie, I'll show this on camera. Okay. But to Eddie's point of the telepathy, I feel like somehow you can make us do it. This is nothing I can. Right, like, if it's one of us going to die, you could kill us. That's all, that's a good one. Yeah.

Okay. And then I'm going to draw some squirrel. Squiggly so I can't replicate it. Or we're no longer with the show. You can fire us. January 6th, 2025, I drew these squiggly just as is. So you can zoom in on it and see nothing.

This is a prediction, a major prediction about someone on the show that I think not only will it happen. When it does happen, your mind will be blown that I wrote it in the envelope. The end. That's all. It's wanted it to be reflected.

If anybody opens it, though, and looks at it, they're fired. Does anybody in here think it's them? No. Oh, good question. Who thinks it's about them? Amy, do you? Okay? And what do you think it would be about you?

No, I have no idea if it's about me. But if it is about me, I know what you wrote. What the heck? Okay. Lunchbox? I'm going to write it down. No, you can't do the envelope bit back. Lunchbox?

Do you think it's about you? No, I don't think it's about me because I don't have any predictions coming up. Morgan about you? I feel like it could be about me. Okay, we have two narcissists in the room so far? Yeah. That's not what I'm about. No, it's not about me.

I mean, I have nothing. That's what I'm saying. It is going into now. The vault of... Your chest? Sure. The end. I'll check back in whenever it happens.

You're going to keep it in there for a whole year. I'd probably slide that foot up my pants. Nobody will go there. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. There's a man known as Colorado Captain. He lives in Colorado. He drives around the state and is Harley Davidson dressed as Captain America

and he goes to children's hospitals and makes the kids smile. It plays with him, whatever, and he does parades as well. Well, the other day, he was taking his motorcycle on his way to a parade. It breaks down. A deputy stops him and goes, hey, what's going on here? He's like, man, I'm dressed as Captain America because I'm going to go to the children's parade and I can't make it. So the deputy says, hop in. I'll take you to the parade, takes him to the parade, drops him off.

And not only does he do that, he pays for his motorcycle to get towed to the shop so he can keep doing what he does. Oh, that's cool. I always wonder if someone leaves a motorcycle. That seems easy to steal. That's exactly why he said, I'm going to tow it for you. Yeah, then like a car, motorcycle, just steal it. Roll it on to a trailer. I'd pick it up, throw it over my shoulder and walk out of there.

That's pretty cool that he does that. Do you see the video? I mean, it was before we left for a break, but Taylor Swift at the Children's Hospital, and she, like, in the nicest way, scolded one of her staff for saying to somebody don't record this on her phone. Do you guys see that?

And I saw her at the hospital. So she's at the hospital. Yeah, but wait. Oh, okay. Yes. And she was with a kid, and, like, somebody that wasn't part of her crew was, like, filming it. and hurt when he wanted Taylor.

She goes, hey, we don't. But Taylor's awesome. I like scolding people without embarrassing them. And she told her on people like, no, it's like, guys, relax. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah. That's cool, too, at the hospital.

All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. We are back. Thank you guys for being back with us. Hope you had a good break. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

What's the hardest case for a computer to solve? A missing file. It's been deleted. Boys, if this is the year, it's like Groundhog Day. Like in the shadow, you start the season like this. Oh, it's a rough one. It's going to be a rough one. All right, there you go.

Thank you. That was the morning corny. Okay, here is Shirley from Boise. I work in customer service and I had a customer leave me a tip. But it was a gift card, which that is so amazing. and awesome. I didn't have the price on the gift card, so I scanned the card, but it says zero on it. So I'm curious, do I tell the customer or do I just let it be? That stinks for you. I'm sorry.

You have to hope that they thought there was something on there. I hope so. Or were they being totally shady? Paul McCartney once said, let it be, let it be. and I would just let it be because you're probably going to see them again and again that's an awkward and embarrassing thing to have to go hey you gave me a card it was there was nothing

not that's embarrassing for everybody unless that was like something you needed but again it's a tip it sucks it is unfortunate that's a let it be but if he does ask or the customer comes back you can say, did you use the card? Absolutely great point if they come back and say did you use the card how to go

be like I did not when we scanned it there was zero on it so thanks for thinking to me but there must have been some kind of mess up with whenever you bought it how you do that, you don't say unless you're asked about it. Yeah. But yeah, it does suck. I hate that for you. I'm sorry that happened to you, but there you go. All right.

Man, Amy, that joke is a tough one. Hey, we'll get them more. We got a whole year to do it. We got more. You don't have no idea my plan. I set the bar. Are you starting low? Start low. So it only goes up from here. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. A podcast. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what to say it.
