All right, thank you for being here. You can be anywhere in the whole wide world. but you're here with us and we appreciate that and let's first go over to this guy. He's known for editing video for our show when we talk but his favorite thing to do might be spilling the tea on lunchbox. Nice, I like that.

Here he is. Produce ready! Guys, I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot. So when I go to the grocery store, I like wearing headphones and listen to music while I shop. Well, I couldn't find my headphones so I borrowed my son's AirPods. I've never used AirPods. I put them in, I get my shopping cart,

I turn my music on and I can hear the music, but it's kind of faint. I'm thinking, like, my kids are so dumb. Like, their ears are dirty or something because these things really aren't working that well. But I turn it up all the way. I can hear a little bit. So I shop.

People are staring at me, and I'm just like, I don't know what they're looking at. I get to the counter to check out. And the lady goes, can you please turn your music down? I'm like, what are you talking? I take my earphones out. And, like, they weren't even connected. I was playing music from my phone super loud across the whole grocery store. That's an old thing.

Like an idiot. Yeah, that's an old. thing. Have you done that before? No, but I've seen like 80-year-olds do it on the airplane when they can't figure out how to do their Bluetooth. I'm so dumb. That's funny. What were you listening to? Do you remember? Also, I did I was like, I went shopping for 30

minutes. No one said turn that off except the lady at the checker. And you saw people looking at you? I was just like, okay, does he know that's happening? Remember what Eddie was like, people are so mean to me now. On the roads. I'm like, what do you mean? He goes, nobody will let me in. Turns out his blinker was broken. Oh, crap. I'm getting old.

I'm doing all the old people's stuff. All that stuff. All right. Next. Whereas confidence comes from remains uncertain. And you never know what each day will bring with this next person. Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody.

Let me tell you something that sucks. The glass onion, the follow-up to Knives Out, it's so stupid. Like Knives Out was overrated when it came out. I like Knives Out. Oh, it's so overrated. Like, it was so high. It was going to be so amazing. Went to it in the theater with my mom and my wife and we're like,

oh, that's fine. So Glass Onion's out. And I'm like, oh, let me check it out. on Netflix. Let me check it out. It started out pretty good. Then it just got so dumb. Movie? Oh, it is. It's just the movie. Movie, Mike, did you watch this movie?

Oh, it's just... Do you think lunchbox is wrong? I think lunchbox is wrong. He doesn't like anything that has any kind of imagination to it. If it's not completely grounded in reality, he doesn't like it. If it's not on the nose or you have to figure it... Yeah, that's stupid. I can't figure it out. I hate it. No, no, no. I like the mystery part of it, but then the ending is just... Well, don't talk about the ending. Don't even allude to anything happening in the end. No, I'm saying the first half.

The first half, the mystery part is great. But no ending talk, because Amy does this too, and she'll accidentally spoil something. Eddie, did you see it? I didn't finish it. I watched about half of it and then kind of never went back. He didn't like it? No, I just wasn't interested again. It's just whatever.

It was fine. The first one was great, though. Did you guys finish Last of Us? Never started it. Before it's and my brother tell me it's great. Yeah. I'm not going to say anything about it, but it's over now. Good, good, good.

They've run the whole series. Yeah, I'm probably going to watch that one. So you think it's better than the glass onion? I haven't seen the glass onion. That's the TV show versus a movie, so just different. Yeah. But you're saying overrated, what do you give it? One and a half islands out of five.

Right. She has fell victim to multiple scam alerts throughout the years, but this has ultimately led to many learning lessons for her peers. Here it is. Amy, everybody. I went wild with magic eraser around my house. Have you ever used one of those? I don't know what it is.

Okay. It's got Mr. Clean on the front. You can buy them in a four pack, and I bought a four pack and thought, oh, this is going to last me, you know, Six months. I went through the four-pack in one day. What do you do?

You can, I have a lot of white walls and there's scuff marks everywhere in the doorways. You know, when kids are carrying backpacks or shoes or different things that run up against the wall or you have pets. And I didn't realize how many marks were all over my walls. And I mean, once you see one, you clean it and then you see another and you go clean it. And then you go see another and another and another. And the next thing you know, you're all around your house cleaning up every scuff mark everywhere. and it's addicting and amazing, and I need to go get another four-pack.

He's got a little psychotic right now. And is it called Magic Eraser? Yes. It's awesome, but here's the truth, guys. It's really so abrasive that it's just taking off whatever's on there. So if it's the wall, you're taking off the paint. That's what it's doing. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. But my walls look fine. It sounds like you had a bad experience. No, I just figured it out because I'm like the first 10 times, like, this is magic. I'm crazy. Then I read more about it. I'm like, oh, it's literally taking the stuff off.

Like acidic or like sandpaper? Like, it's so soft. It feels sop, whatever combination they use. I had to put a glove on. Amy's like, no, no, it's all good, except that it burns my skin. Yeah, it's scraping stuff off for sure. I put a glove on. But you like it, magic eraser.

Yeah, and then I have this white coffee table. I got stuff off at that. I mean, you could, listen, it's addicting. We're listening. Oh, yeah, it says magic eraser is a high grit sandpaper. Yeah, man, it's just scraping off whatever. So the table, you're taking off all the enamel on it. The table looks fine.

She's like, I get my teeth. Right. From Mount Pine, Arkansas, he loves wearing Arkansas red, and after games, it's hard for him to go to bed. Bobby Bums. Thank you. That's good one. Okay.

Here's the update on Stanley and his two surgeries, because I have something to say about it. Both his legs have had torn ACL ligaments in his knee. The other one, he's 90% back, the one from six months ago. The other one from like a month ago, he's doing okay. But did you know there's dog rehab?

We happen to have one half mile from our house. never heard a such thing. We were looking up dog rehab, like things that we could do to him, like from YouTube, to get his just surgically repaired leg, kind of more range of motion. And there's a dog rehab. Like physical therapist for dogs? Yes, not for drugs. He's good on that.

Right. He's not substance abuse. So we call him and they say, well, he has to be, we called him like as soon as surgery was over. So he has to be like a month out. So we finally took him in. They have dog underwater treadmills. like you see athletes doing. Oh, wow.

We took him in, he did this little, like, obstacle ladder course to see if he could lift his leg up enough. And I asked the guy, said, how did you get into this? Like, dog rehab, I've never heard of it. And he used to work in sports medicine for humans. Do you get banned from that or something? No, he was like, I don't like working with athletes anymore. They were too whiny.

That makes sense. So then he started and now does animals. Wow. Never heard of such thing. They also said, and I kid you not, that Stanley was the best behaved bulldog they've ever had as far as bulldog. dogs go. You sure

then I'll tell you Not sure of that Eddie But he rolled over on his side They were like We can't get bulldogs Roll over on their side Because he has to do like muscle

Like feel his muscles And Stanley was like Oh He just laid over and Let him do it And he was like We've never had a bulldog Do this before

Wow And Stanley was like Being like being all good And stuff Which kind of irritated me Because I went in I was like He's kind of out of control

sometimes And Stanley was like Minding And they could Now I can teach I've taught him How to like speak And he'd be like

He was like doing all the tricks Like she's like showing off Wow But he's on the road to recovery, but more so, I didn't know there was dog rehab places. And there's one right down the road from my house. That's cool. It serves like three different things.

There's also a vet in there. And maybe it's like Uber Eats where they go, or Johnny's Supreme Pizza. But it's really a gas station that makes pizza, and they name it something? I don't think that's it, but it's pretty cool. So if you have a dog that's been injured, see if you can have dog rehab in your town, no idea. All right, that's it. Thank you. It's time for the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I heard you talking about something similar to what's happening, but my daughter's a little older. She has our first real boyfriend. She's 15, he's 16. He comes to our house a couple times a week after school.

My husband, her stepdad, works from home and is around them more than I am. They cuddle on the couch while watching TV, and my husband makes comments to me about how it makes him feel uncomfortable. Again, she's 15, he's 16. I feel like it's innocent and they're just being teenagers.

I've tried to explain to my daughter how it makes my husband feel, but she just replies that they're not doing anything wrong. Any advice and how to smooth this situation over? Sincerely, mom caught in the middle. Yeah, this is easy. Tell them to go to her room and shut the door. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You're kidding. I'm kidding. That's messed up. That's messed up for you. You want to go, Amy? You have a 15-year-old daughter? daughter? Yeah, I'm trying to picture her cuddling on the couch with somebody and I'll be like, okay. She did watch it. That part though seems weird though, too. You just let them cuddle.

Oh, but I had friends in junior high and high school with their parents. Stuff they did in front of their parents, like, it was crazy. I guess I never had a girlfriend, so that's why it seems so foreign. But I would, I can't imagine cuddling or I guess just having a girl like me then. That's what I started. Yeah. I mean, when you made that joke about sent him to the room or whatever, I'm like, oh yeah, I knew parents like that, which is wild to me. But I guess I would just say, hey, like, see, I feel like if you're like no cuddling, then it makes them want to cuddle more.

So somehow they need to have like cuddling before. Well, it's a boundary type of thing. How can you cuddle but far away? If it's really about the stepdad, you're just going to make sure he's not around when they do it. Now, it sounds like she's fine with it. And if the mom's fine with it, and even the stepdad's fine with it, but he's uncomfortable seeing it, then you just got to separate those two. And if he's there, you can't do it.

The end. It makes him feel bad. And if he's not, you guys cuddle away, but I wouldn't say it like that. Cuddle away, because then that means... That's a green light. I mean, you get to do more than cuddle. But if it's about making the stepdad not feeling comfortable, then they just can't do that.

That's the rule. It's the house. It's the adult's house. So don't cuddle like that. You can sit by each other, but there's no cuddling while he's there in the house. I know it works from home, but he doesn't want to see that. Or if he's in his room, When that door opens and he comes out, get away from each other.

So stepdad needs to say something like, hey, separate, separate. No, he shouldn't be put in that place because then you're making him the bad guy. But it is his house and he's the one there. Yeah, but he doesn't deserve to be the bad guy. Because he feels uncomfortable. It's his house. That's why something in your house, if it makes you feel uncomfortable, you just stop it. You own the house.

So what do you do? Separate. Don't make me put a board between you guys. I just walk by every single. Junior high dance. I'm old. No cuddling. Stop that crap.

And then three strikes and they're out. They can't cuddle at all anymore. That's true. If he sees it three times. But make it fun. Don't be mean about it because then they're just going to go somewhere else and cuddle. Make it fun. How do you make it fun?

Hey, guys, separate. You can't do the separate thing. You can't? No, because again, you're making the stepdad be the bad guy constantly. And you're making him have to police it. When he didn't do anything wrong, he just feels uncomfortable. You have to police it. The mom police it for him.

If he's there in the house or close, you can't cuddle. Just sit by each other. So it's on mom. Yeah. You're the one to let him do it. You also got to be the person to go, hey, don't do that while he's there. If you want to cuddle, that's fine, but you can't do it while he's there. It makes him uncomfortable.

This is his home. He shouldn't feel uncomfortable in his own home. You know what I mean? I see what you're saying. Thank you. Coming from the person that has no kids, by the way. Right. I like this.

Separate! I just don't want to make him the bad guy. And that kid, the 16-year, would always be scared of him because he only knows him as the person that's coming in, making them separate, like he's always the bad guy. Man, one time I went to my girlfriend's house. We were in high school, and we were in the room, and I was just, like, braiding her hair, you know? And the dad walked in, he just stared at me for like five minutes.

I'm like, okay, I'm going to leave now. No, I think he was like, how do you know how to braid her hair? No, he was going to kill me. Or does that stand for something else? Yeah, I'm going to have. Made her hair. I don't know how to braid her hair. What?

Okay, thank you. Morgan, if someone wants to reach out to us and send an email into the mailbag, what do they do? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. There you go, close it up. I'm the Chloe Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. On the phone, let's go over to Carol in Massachusetts. Carol, what's going on?

So I just wanted to call last week you were doing a segment that was like good decision week or whatever. I think it fizzled out a little bit towards the end, but it prompted me to call you because I bought and read both of your books. And because of those, I was able to. lose 50 pounds from exercising every day and just changing some lifestyles. And I changed jobs because I wasn't being valued at my other job. And just because of reading your books and listening to your show and the positivity that the studio brings, I was able to just kind of see my own self-worth. So I called to thank you all for that.

Well, that's very kind of you to say. You know, I wrote those books and I was just kind of like, hey, this is how a I felt, how lost I didn't know I was, where I kind of discovered my value and also where it's also like, I don't really know still sometimes my value, so you never quite figure it out. But yeah, the week of good decisions, I got to say it last week, guys, ended up pretty good. Good. I did a whole week of good decisions. A week of good decision.

I just try to get myself back on track, meaning sleep, meaning nutrients, eating nutrients, not just crap because I'm in a hurry, meaning relationship. And so when someone goes, my New Year's resolution is this, I'm like, I ain't never going to work. It's fun to just say. But you can't look at macro. Like macro goals don't work. Like large goals don't work unless you have micro solutions, which aren't fun. No one wants to hear the tiny things.

But you can't do anything big if you don't do the small things. You can't play, you can't go start a quarterback in the game. if you don't practice well I play under the lights well show me you can play in the daytime at 3 p.m. when we're practicing. So same situation. My goals that I set that are big

are really just a lot of ladder rungs that I'm climbing up to get up there and you gotta hit every one of those when I run, when I would run. I was training for triathlons. I hated it. I could not run the 10 miles if I just go, I'm go, go run 10 miles, let's go.

But I could run to that tree up there. I can run to that tree. I can run to that tree. And next thing you know, I'm three miles in and I'm like, oh, I can do this. And so, you know, I like to feel that my books are very practically written. I'm not going to win any Peabody or Peelitzer.

Yeah, I'm not sure which one the book won. They don't even do. I think the Pulitzer. I might actually win the Pilitzer. But I appreciate that. Carol, I think, you know, we try to be honest. And some days are good and some days aren't. And, you know, I did a week of good decisions.

A week of good decision. Got myself back on track for this week. And I hope you're doing the same. I'm glad to hear that you've decided to live a healthier lifestyle. that's what you're up for and go get it attack go get it sometimes you'll have a setback but that's okay you know yeah thank you very much i do appreciate you all just your honesty and with your relationships and parenting and all of it it's just helpful and it's and we're thankful for that Carol you have a great day we really appreciate you listening and calling

appreciate it thank you but i'll say this week though i don't have it calendared in as a week a good decision I made a couple bad ones. Oh. I tried to pop the Zit on my head away before it was a Zit. Bad decision. You shouldn't try to pop it before it's ready because then it just hurts. Yeah.

And I feel like it's a second head coming off, but nobody else can even see it. Not at all. And also, because my hair is, yeah, I hate to say have bangs, but you're right. My hair is so long now. So it's like a week of medium decisions. Oh, good. So I appreciate that call always. Thank you guys.

It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. There's a nonprofit. Virginia Beach called Connect with the Wish. And what they're doing for girls to help them get ready for prom is super cool. Girls ages 15 and older that are in foster care, get a personal shopper and they go around this room where all these hundreds and hundreds of donated dresses are and they get to

pick out dress, shoes, purse, jewelry. They have their hair and makeup done. This isn't even the day of prom. This is just for them to feel special and look good and know that this is what they get to look like when they do go to a dance. They even have a professional photography. there to take their photo and then the girls get to keep their dress if they end up attending a dance and if they do that they'll also get cash so that they can get their hair and makeup done the day of and go out to dinner i want to go to that yeah that's really great i just feel like that's next level it's not like just girls walking in and and picking out a dress which is amazing too because that's something that they may not otherwise get but they just took it next level yeah i want to go to that that sounds good hey that's awesome all those people to donate their time and their money to make people feel special That is what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. I mean, this is, as they would say, Savage Parenting by Amy. Ooh. It's hilarious. But also my wife could do this to me, and I would be like, dang, that sucks.

So tell them what you did today. Well, so I had to gather all the remotes because I have heard when I, because I'm already at work when... Do you mean controllers? Yeah, the gamer. Yeah, it's called a controller, not a remote. Oh, I took the remotes too.

So you took TV remotes and the controller? Yeah, stuff, whatever controls the PS4, whatever controls the TV, and the little place, the game, like a game boy, but the, what is that called, PlayStation? No, no, it's called a ESP? No. You got it for him. Oh, yeah, yeah, got it. Whatever that is. Yes, yes, yes.

You actually bought him all of these things. But at the time it was a great idea. Go ahead. Okay. So I hear that getting ready for work is like, or school has been a challenge. like he's getting on the game. And so I was like, okay, well, I'm going to nip this in the bud. So when I left for work, I gathered everything.

So, yeah, he's... She came to work with his controllers, the TV remotes. She's got it all here. They're all in the front seat of my car, everything. And I mean, and I did it. It was sort of like, ugh. I just was so frustrated when I heard that because we've had so many talks of like, hey, dude, you have to turn your lights off in your room.

You have to get ready for school. You have to make your lunch. There's all these things on a checklist that must be done before we even turn anything on. Hilarious. But I would hate it if it were me because that could be used against me right now too. Yeah, I could. She could totally take away your controllers. Yeah, she would just take the whole system, though.

What if she went out of town and took her controllers with you? I go by new ones. I would go immediately buy new ones. And then what I would do is I would hide it. Get other new ones and hide them in the house. So when she did it the next time, I'd have a backup. That's so smart. Yeah. Funny you say that because I've thought about the dramatic unplugging.

Like this, he wasn't present for it. You can even take the cable, which is even harder to replace instead of the controller. That's good. The cable. I shouldn't tell you this. No, I've already, I have enough ways, tools in my toolbox to calm down. So I'm not going to do that because I don't want it to cause therapy later in life of like, yeah, one time. Well, that's a difference.

You just took every controller remote from the house. Not in front of his face. But no, no, not from his face either. You just pull that cable. out the plugs from the machine from the box to the plug and it's like I have the cable so. Wait well this is where I'm sharing with you that there's been times in the moment where I've been

and it's been a thing and I'm about to walk over and just unplug everything and no no I don't thought about it but then I realize. You see it just slam it pick it up and slam it nope thought about that. Get a fake one that's broken that's not gonna for cheap and then set up one Amy you can have it. Then you walk in you're like I am tight and you take that fake one you smash

it and then you start kicking it and then you pee on it and you're like and if you want this that No, these are the things they will remember and it's not, that's not the healthy approach. Yeah, I remember that in a good way. Like, I ain't ever messing with her again. No. She just beat on my system. Now I calmly say, hey, we can play video games, but we turn off our lights before.

So did they know you took everything? Yeah. Or are they just finding out, like right now? If they're listening, which I don't think they are. But, I mean, no. Good parent, bad parent. Eddie? Amazing parent.

I love it. Lunchbox? Great parent. I think it's hilarious. I think it's hilarious too. I don't like it because that could happen to me. Correct. He's probably walking all around the house right now.

He's probably flipping the couch cushions. See, that's wasting more time though. He's going crazy right now. He's like scratching himself. Yes, withdrawals. Yes, he's going through it. Okay, good parent, good parent. Yeah.

Amy, you're officially a good parent. Good job, Amy. We like it. There she is, Amy. Good parent of the day. What did you watch? MH370, the plane that disappeared on Netflix. Was it the Malaysian flight where they just don't know where it went?

Yes. They have, there's so many theories out there. And here's what I thought. I thought when I watched it, it's a three-part docuseries. And I thought, okay, we're going to get some answers. But. Well, don't spoil it, though. Is this a spoiler where there's no answer?

Maybe, maybe not. Well, I think if there were answers that we'd know from the news, right? Yeah, right, right. So, okay, set us back on what happened, because what I remember is there's this flight and they were flying over a lot of ocean. Yeah. And then it was just gone. So they took off from Malaysia. at midnight or 1 a.m. or something.

And then they were supposed to land, I don't know, somewhere in China at like 6 a.m. A lot of that is over the water. Big commercial flight too, right? Like hundreds of people on the front. 239 or something like that. And at some point over the water, not too long after they took off, the pilots sign off from communication, because that's what you do, I guess, in the middle of the night. And so you hear the pilots say, everybody goes to sleep?

No, no, no. It's like TV in the 70s. They play the national anthem and they just shuts off. Your radar and everything's still supposed to be on, but I guess you are like, okay, good night. And that's the last thing you hear the pilot say is good night. And then suddenly they disappear off the radar. And that should not happen. Like there's no, they'd never experienced anything like that.

So the Malaysian air control all the people in charge of that airport. They get calls in the middle of the night. They go up to the airport. Everyone's confused. Trying to figure out what happened. And yeah, it's wild to think that these families just lost all their loved ones on that plane. and they still don't have answers. Two things I want to say.

Number one is, Eddie and I are flying to Des Moines later to watch Arkansas basketball. I don't like hearing plane crash stories whenever I'm about to fly on a plane. The thing is, how do you know it crashed? I don't, or planes disappearing. I don't want to be on Des Moines Flight 1-1-1-1, and all of a sudden we're gone.

I don't want to disappear either. So that's one. Number two is that show where the plane disappears and shows up 10 years later. Manifest. Like, what if that plane just all of a sudden came back in five years? They're like, we're back.

That's a good. And we're all older. And they still think it was their six-hour flight. Do they think that weather, aliens, like what's the theories here? I've seen so many conspiracy theories on this. What's the big theory? I don't recall weather or aliens. What else is there?

One of the big theories was that there was something on that plane or cargo being delivered somewhere and someone didn't want that happening. And so take which one from that, which seems really, really. scary because you have all these innocent people that are just trying to, I mean, there was mothers, children. Like, some of the family members were part of the documentary and it's just so

terrible. Like this one man, I felt so bad, his wife and children were on the plane and he was supposed to meet up with them at the next stop and then they were all going to be flying together and they just never arrived. And the ocean is so big you can't find it then, if that's what happened or the pieces of it? Right. Right. Like all the

seats float, right? But it's the ocean, bro. I know. Really big. Yeah. They find their pirates out there and sailors and stuff? Popeye? No one's finding a chair? Well, this one woman that is photographer that is, she says she has a really good eye for things. She feels as though. What photographer doesn't?

What photographer doesn't say they have a really good eye for things? But she volunteered. You know how people on the internet, what are they called? And they volunteered to solve crimes? Idiots. Go ahead. I don't know. Oh, yeah.

So she, joy, like there was all these little bubbles of people across the world that were rallying together online to try to solve this mystery. And she claims to have found parts of the, the water that look like it. But from pictures, like satellite images? Yes, satellite. And so she could zoom in. No, she feels like she found very specific parts of the plane.

But then again, she said she really couldn't get anybody to listen to her to go check it out. Probably because she's wackadoodle. I don't know. She seemed pretty. The plane floating. Nice. Anyway, I think officials, unless officials were involved in it. Okay, but that's the thing.

At the press conferences and different things, families were like, what you're saying is not making sense. And also, you're not telling us anything. And why does this feel really weird? feels like here's the order I rate them with absolutely no knowledge on the subject. So total dumb dumb here. One, the government did not want something going from A to B. So you know what the government does?

A, shoot it down, B, blow it up. What's one? Two, aliens. Wow, aliens is a two. Three, grab bag. Could be anything else. Is that documentary, is it good? It's pretty good. I had it on while I was like cleaning and doing things.

It kept me entertained. But then my son walked in and was like, what's this? I'm like, no, because I do not want him to be scared to fly. I'm scared to fly. We're going to Iowa today. Well, I fly with him this weekend, and I had to like slam my computer down. Nothing to see here, kid. Yeah, that would scare him.

Yeah, I could see us being on the plane. And then him being like, what's going to happen? Is this playing going to disappear? Are we okay? Because he already thinks what the end of the world's happening or something? What's his thing where he saw on TV, like the news? And so he thought someone's like coming to the house or. Oh, there's been lots of things.

Oh, it's so common that it could be one of ten things. Yeah, he's a, his brain is always on high alert, which I think is just some of his trauma, like living and fight, flight, free. So we try to, you know, make sure we do our best to keep him away from stories. Like you think that Russia's going to bomb us or something is what it was. Oh, yeah, that's one of them. Yeah. That's one of them. Oh, no, he thinks we're going into World War III.

Yes. No, I mean, there's, I probably only shared a couple with y'all, but in my mind, I'm like, well, there's every day we're kind of dealing with a new potential tragedy. My wife deals with the same thing with me. Yeah. You're very similar. Yeah. it is very similar to that. Yeah, yeah.

Here are your top three songs in country music at number three, Lainey Wilson, Heart Like a Truck. At number two, Bailey Zimmerman, rock in a hard place. That's a good one, huh? Oh, yeah. Like, out of nowhere, that song, it's like, hey, that's good.

Number one, Luke Combs, going, going, gone. So here's this. I'm going to play the number one alternative song. And it's from Lincoln Park, but it has Chester Bennington singing. Oh, wow. Who died? Do you remember him dying? Or no?

Not really? Refresh my memory. Well, there are two leads of Lincoln Park. There was like Mike Shinoda, the rapper guy, Chester Bennington, the lead singer. Chester died. And so this was a track from an album in 2003, but they just released it 20 years later. And it's the number one alternative song, and it's called Lost. Lincoln Park was massive back in the day.

For anybody that's like 25 listening, I don't know why you're listening. I don't know why you're listening. They're much cooler shows than us. However, Lincoln Park was, I mean, they were awesome. I was never a massive fan, but I could appreciate their big radio poppy songs. And also, I understood why people liked them. They rap, and sang. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Who did that? They had two different lead singers. That was so cool. And then finally, the number one pop song. And this song's great. It's Miley and Flowers. That's a jam. Okay.

Those are your number one songs all across. Use Amy's pile of stories. Reusable water bottles, like tumblers, are very popular right now. much so they have a nickname, emotional support water bottles. So many women they don't even leave the house without their Stanley Tumblr. Don't be sexist. Some men, yes. Some men too. No,

adult men can have one too. Eddie has something over there. I do right here. I thought when I saw this story, they meant reusable water bottles like I will use a plastic water bottle meaning I'll use it three or four times, fill it up with the water in the fridge. But I didn't realize they meant those, which if

those have that many germs, how many germs my plastic water bottle have? On the fourth The use. You have researchers swabbed different parts of the water bottle, the spout, the lid, the straw, the squeeze off, everywhere. And it's got 40,000 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. You know me. I always say toilet seats aren't that gross anyway. It's just your butt cheeks.

And what are your butt cheeks ever touch? You know nothing. Right. And second of all, stop swobbing everything. Why we got around swabbing? Also, lunchbox is a water bottle in the studio. He's never cleaned once. It sits here every day.

He cleanses. He has some blue light on it, that he pushes it, it cleans it all. all out. I don't believe it. I do clean it. I hit the button and it says, boom, kills 99.9% of the bacteria. Look at it. Blue light going now. Why don't we have a blue light just on the wall? Then we walk up to it, let it clean us. Ooh, that's a good idea. I'm just telling you I don't think that works like he thinks it works. All right, what else? They're swabbing it to remind people to wash it. Stop swabbing everything. If you wash it regularly, you're good. So if you want to come to work in a better mood, I have an easy thing that you can do. Drive nice. That's all you have to do.

They say it will cut down your work stress by 40%. And if you're wondering, what does Drive Nice mean? Well, you can let someone into your lane. You can wave high to someone at a stoplight. You can avoid tailgating. And you can just be more patient on the road, Eddie. Yeah, I like that. No, that's me totally until somebody cuts me off.

Then it's like, then I'm stressed for work. Do you feel like that was a targeted ad right there? A little bit, yeah. You're the only one that actually heard that segment. Amy never looks at me when she's talking about these segments. That segment, you're the only person that's hearing this right now. We've now figured out targeting radio show for things that people need to hear. But to counter what Eddie just said, if someone cuts him off, I feel as though he'll arrive to work less stressed if you don't react to the person that cut you off.

If you decide to be like, you know what, they're probably having a rushed morning or bad day. I don't know their circumstances. I'm just going to smile and wave. Then voila, it won't affect you. And you've cut someone off accidentally, occasionally. Yeah, my signal light wasn't working. Yeah. And I have to, with a working signal light, actually, accidentally.

And then I go, oh, I bet they're so mad at me going like, that idiot. But it was an accident. I'm sorry, but that's what's up. Have you ever just waved to someone at a stoplight? No. I just realized that was one of the things I said. That's creepy. Yeah.

Hi. I like wave people if they let me in. Like if, if I lay in traffic. Right, right, right, right. Good morning. Yes, thank you. But then I look and see if they saw me wave. And if they didn't, I get a bigger wave.

Then if they didn't, I put my arm out of the window. And then if they don't know. Then I'm turning. It's like a. dumb and dumber out of the side of the car. All right, what else? Taste of country. Put out the top saddest country songs of all time.

According to them. We'll see if you agree. And at number three, Hank Williams, I'm so lonesome, I could cry. Like me, he's lost. No, well, I'm so lonesome I could cry. Yeah, it's very sad. It's so old, though. That makes me just want to get a beer. That it feels more black and white than it does reality sad.

But yes. Yeah, it's 1949. Yeah. That's Eddie's birth year. No, it's not. What else? And then end from 1975 is Willie Nelson, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.

This is one of my top three, maybe top five favorite songs of all time. And I know it's sad. I just, it's just normal for it. This song's normal to me. Yeah, man. This is my baseline. It's not even that sad. You like sad, though.

I love sad. And I don't know I hear this and go, I'm just so sad. There are songs that really kick me in an ad sad. These are, like, just generally sad. This one makes me want to get another beer. Well, I'm seeing a theme here. It's starting to get a buzz now. Like, songs that don't make you feel like they're going to be sad

and then hit you with sad out of nowhere, Tim McGrawl, I don't hate the girl. Sad at the end. Yeah. George Jones. Is that number one, by the way? No. It's not. How is that?

No, number one, we'll kick you in the... Oh. Or the other one is Reba and Brooks and Dunn. Cowgirls don't cry. Because the whole song is about her and her dad and him being like, Get Up on the Horse again. Cowgirls don't cry. And then at the end, he dies.

Spoiler alert. And she's like, Cowgirls don't cry. And you're like, oh. Like that to me, where it walks you somewhere and then sweeps your legs out sad, like real life. Those are the most sad ones. What's number one? Well, Vince Gill started writing this song in 1989 after Keith Whitley died.

but he didn't finish writing it until 1993 after his brother died. And that alone right there gives me all the feels and it's go rest high on that mountain. That's a very sad song because you know it's played at a lot of funerals. Vince played it at the Opry last week because somebody had passed away. I don't remember the story. There was like a drunk fight. There was a fight. Yeah, right up there in front of us.

Weird. That's kind of distracting. Yes. And so, but yes, that song is so sad. But still, he stopped loving her today. That's a sad song. Because you know why I stopped loving her? She died.

He died. Oh, he died. That's right. I need to go back and listen to that. That means he just loved her so hard. So hard. And the only time he would stop loving her is if he couldn't anymore. So he stopped loving her today.

That George and Tammy show on Showtime, when they do that scene about this song. You guys haven't seen it, right? No, I have not seen it yet. Oh, my God. I'm going to, though. I don't think I have Showtime anymore. I don't. I've already asked two people for passwords and it's not working.

And I refuse to give you mine because that is not what somewhat of integrity does. No, I think they're smarter than that. They're not letting it work. I might leave it written on a piece of paper after the show, but I have nothing to do with that password and you having it. Yeah, if you find it, you find it. You find it. You find it. All right, Amy.

I mean, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. There's a dog resort. and it's in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood and it caught fire.

Now, what's in a dog resort? Dogs. A bunch of dogs. I would think, yeah. So, employees at all the places around saw it and they weren't going to wait for the fire department because they knew they had to get those dogs out of there. So PSR Mechanical is one of the places.

They started running out of there into the place grabbing dogs. There was also a Mexican restaurant and everybody ran out of that and started to grab the dogs. In the end, they saved $60. Oh, wow. Not a single dog died in the fire. No humans were injured. The place didn't do well.

It didn't bounce. You know, it wasn't very hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no humans or dogs died because everybody jumped into action and ran in and just started grabbing all these animals and pulling them out of there. That's some bravery to run in after a dog you don't even know. Yeah. I'd be like, that's a pretty big fire. Stanley, you good, buddy?

I'm just kidding. For sure, I'd run in. Great story. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
