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

And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

Listen to Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here we go. Transmitting. Welcome to Thursday show. Morning studio. Morning.

Big announcement. Tomorrow, Abby's performance. She would take guitar lessons. Yes. We'll have our recital. Oh, my gosh. It's tomorrow. She'll be bringing her guitar in and performing.

She learned how to play guitar because we were like, learn to play. You'll pay somebody. Abby's recital tomorrow. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. Wow.

Let's go around the room now. He likes to sport the gear. on our visits to different schools, and he started his career by reporting on the news. Here's producer Eddie. Okay, okay, okay. Guys, bad news. You know, I've been talking about my Valentine's Day plans, whatever, and I got ahead of it.

For the first time in my life, I got our plans a month before Valentine's Day. We're going to go to a movie. We're going to have a little... You did that for you. No, no, no. You even admitted that. You did that for you. Well, I do love Bob Marley, but so did my wife.

But you didn't go? So, no, the whole plan was we wanted to do. it before the kids got out of school. Like, I leave work. I pick her up. We go to the movie. So it was like a one o'clock movie. We'd be done by like three and go pick up the kids.

Well, she called me last minute was like, hey, I got a work call. I can't go. So we couldn't do that. My whole plans were ruined. We picked up the kids. And I thought maybe, ooh, last minute, I can get a babysitter. All my babysitters, they got boyfriends. They have Valentine's Day plans.

Well, you just want to go to the movie so you can go to the movie anytime. No, no, no. We reschedule. I think we're going to have to do it next week. Are you going to take it? where she really wants to go? Yeah, the Bob Marley movie. No.

Dinner and the Bob Marley movie. You know. Oh, L.A.? Yeah. No, dude, because Scuba said if I don't get the first three sections of the venue. You should go. Bones, I don't think... I've been there many times.

The Hollywood Bowl? Yes, I had to, like, lived there for like three months when I was doing dancing with the stars. We lived right behind the Hollywood Bowl. Oh, yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. You just don't want to do it anyway. Well, listen, for now, for now, we're just going to do Valentine's date this week. Good.

Sorry that was canceled yesterday. That's this is one. because I know you wanted to watch the movie. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. All right, moving on, he will commit theft when it comes to your mail. And if you ask him, he never fails.

Lunchbox. Taylor Swift. Everyone loves her. I went to her concert. It felt like start up a TED Talk. It was amazing. Taylor Swift. Yeah, go ahead.

But she needs to calm down. She needs to relax a little bit. There are reports out there now that she had Kanye West removed from the Super Bowl. What is your need to constantly go after Taylor or Abby? It's always, he's always had. No, no, I don't understand. Because Kanye supposedly bought tickets.

Supposedly, though, is the word. We don't know this is true. Right in front of Taylor's box. So that way, every time they would show Taylor, you would see Kanye. But she wouldn't, though. Because we didn't see people in front of her box. She made a call. And Kanye, you don't know that for sure.

This is according to Brandon Marshall. On a podcast. On a podcast. and had Kanye removed from the Super Bowl. How does Brandon Marshall know this? And how do we know Kanye would be telling the truth, even if he does know this? My only point is,

there's some rooted jealousy lunchboxes has for Taylor Swift. No, no, I think she... And Abby. Deep-rooted, and Abby. And they're both women. He says that she's fake. No, no. He was talking about how the relationship's not even real again.

Right. I still don't believe it. Her concert was unbelievable. It was amazing. And I see why she is so highly, thought of as an entertainer. She was great. Yeah, that's her job. No, no, as I'm saying, I never had seen her concert. It was

unbelievable. But this is out of control. If you're having people removed for you... But you don't even know that that's true. On the internet. That's a good point. It is on the internet. It's on a podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I also, if somebody that I've been harassing me

was anywhere near me and I could affect that they're not near me, I would make that call. And I don't know that she did, but I would make that call. Is this from like the music awards? That's what I'm saying. Super Bowl. Super Bowl.

No, no, I know, but like, is this back then? Oh, yeah. There's a lot of drama with Kim. Yeah, it's been a thing for years. Okay. That's pretty funny. But he keeps harassing her like that. If that even happened.

Okay, lunchbox, thank you. Thank you. No, thank you. No, seriously. Oh, boy. Moving on. When it comes to cooking and parenting hacks, she is where you want to go.

Or if you want a quick laugh, because she gives the morning corny on this show. Here's Amy. So I heard a clip from a podcast at Simon Sinek's podcast, and he was talking about how when someone is struggling or in need, like all they need is eight minutes for some space to be held for them and then they'll feel better. Simon Sinek. Okay. He's got a lot of followers on Instagram. He has a podcast called A Bit of Optical.

Oh, Simon says. No. So here's a clip from what he said. Simon says be nice to Abby all day today. There you go. Okay, here's a clip. When someone is struggling or in need, all they need is eight minutes from a friend. to hold space with them to make them feel better.

And so now we have a code word. When one of us is struggling, the text is, do you have eight minutes? And that simply means, I need you. So they have a code. And it's like eight minutes. Like, oh, okay, if your friend's in need doesn't mean like set a timer. Like, oh. I would.

I would think he's going to be in literal. Okay, and eight minutes starts now. Go ahead. But it doesn't have to take that long. And it can be a way where it's like, hey, your friend knows I'm here to give this to you. and you're not going to take up too much of their time. But apparently in eight minutes, we'll feel better if we can just vent or hear encouragement, stuff like that.

That's good. I like it. Yeah. So now we all know. We can text each other. Do you have eight minutes? I do not. Can't be tomorrow. Oh, oh, I thought you were asking right now.

No, no, no. Okay. All right, go ahead. From Mount Pine, Arkansas. He's a king of a Valentine's plan. That's why he's Caitlin's man, Bobby Bones. Thank you. I saw something.

I almost bought. And I've bought stuff on the internet before. But I saw something, maybe the most substantial thing I've ever bought on the internet. And I just couldn't find it. But there was a whole video on the earthquake bed. Have you guys seen these? No.

So what they're doing is they're putting these beds in invention. So imagine you're up on, what do you call that thing that goes under a bed? Like the frame? The bed frame. Is that what it is? The box frame. No. It's like whatever the wood or metal is.

Okay. And then there's the headboard. So in these places that get crazy earthquakes, it could be California, it could be Japan, wherever. Once it hits a certain vibration, the bed goes in. in and it goes like falls into the bottom of it and the top of it closes over the top of you and you're in this box

that is basically steel and in the box there's water and there's like food you can use it from more than earthquake so let's break you into your house. It goes like a little bunker it's like a safe room, a bed safe room. What? It's awesome. So you wake

up and you're in a box I think you'd probably wake up as you were going down like if an earthquake hits while you're asleep Or if somebody's breaking in your house and you're scared. Because that, to me, is where it interests me. You just hit something. It's not like it shoves you in a hole. It just drops you onto another cushion below.

Shuts over the top of you. They can't get in because it's locked. Oh. It's like a safe room. And then they have supplies in there. Water, walkie-talkie. It's the coolest invention I've ever seen. Okay, question.

When the burglar walks in, does it look like a regular bed? It just looks like a chest, a big box. Okay. But he can't get in anyway. You can't get in. Okay. That's pretty cool, man. It's called the quake.

There's a few of them. Mike, do you see a price on any of this? I was about to say how many of you were. Because, well, that's the thing. I started trying to look and I couldn't find on an actual place to buy it. Is this it, endurance? Oh, my goodness. Dude, that'll wake you up hard. Well, it does, like in the middle, it falls.

But again, you don't fall onto, like, wood. I know, but they're showing people fall and they go straight down quick. They do. Quick. So you become, like, a little pig in a blanket. This is the most legit thing. And it is kind of cool. Like, there's lights under there.

and it feels like, you know, when you put the covers over and you're like, wow, we're an intent. And it's not even about what kind of brand, like a big sleep number guy, right? This is what's like the frame of it that could drop you. That's crazy. But surely there's, and there's a way you can. You can get out, right? Well, yeah, you can get out. All you have to do is like push to let me out.

But $5,600 it looks like for this thing. I had no idea. I'm finding one here. I don't know if that's the only one. Dude, you can put your PS5 in there. My wife could never find me or get me, get out. But isn't that the coolest? It's called the earthquake proof of bed, but for me, since we don't have earthquakes,

because what could happen in an earthquake is everything falls on top of you and you can't get out, but it's steel, so all that stuff's fine. And there's also like a button you push that sends out an alert so they can find you. And we do have tornadoes. Yeah. So that could work for that too. It's crazy. Earthquake bed.

I like it. I watch. like the video for it about four times and the video is only 90 seconds long. I don't watch movies over and over again, but I watch the earthquake bed commercial four times. You watching it, Lexxwigs? Yeah, I'm watching. There's... Whoever invented that, shout out.

Okay. My question is, though, do you have to be laying right in the middle of the bed for it to work? Oh, my... No, because it collapses, so you just roll in. That is so... Wow. Finish your sentence. It's so... It's so? Bananas. Okay, bananas. Okay, bananas. Good. Let's open up the mailbag.

You send a game. and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and kids are going on vacation for spring break, and it sounds great. I want a real vacation, though. How do you think it would go over

and how realistic would it be if I agreed, under the condition that everyone left their phones at home, and we as a group only brought one smartphone with us for emergencies that we could all go and do something fun. I just don't see the point of spending thousands of dollars on a big trip, but everybody says glued to their phones the whole time.

Playing games, scrolling social media. Is that something you can work out at all this day and age? Again, I don't mind taking the family for spring break and paying the money for a trip. I just don't want them to be on their phones the whole time. How would you feel about a no-phone vacation? Signed, dad of a simpler time.

Ed, did you send this in? No, but I like this guy. I love it. Yeah. I mean, it's a great goal. I think he's got his head in the right place, but realistically, I think he's even going to want. at that time, we're like, all right, we all need a break. Everyone get on your devices and chill.

But that could be it. That can be it. The break. Yeah. Like you can, there's no way you're going with one phone. No, no, no, no. No. It sounds cool, but no.

But what you can do is go, hey, we're going on vacation. And these are the hours when we're doing family stuff. There will be no phones. You can set that like at the dinner table. If you have a no phone dinner table. Yeah. And the kids don't bring it out. So your experience is you can heighten them.

But if you say, no phones at all, it's going to hurt everything because they're just going to be cranky the whole time, the whole time. So I think that you can compromise that and go, all right, we're going to go. And this is what I originally wanted to do. As long as you tell them that and that you've kind of made a move back toward, then they won't hate you fully. Oh, yeah, because you're making changes. I have to say that, though. What I want to do, no phones, we're taking one phone.

However, I knew that would upset you guys. So you can take your phones, but between the hours of 12 and 4, every day, no one will be on their phone. But then you can be on the rest of the time. Whatever the rule is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. I think that will probably help more than just demanding no phones because they're going to sneak it and you got contraband. And like when you're traveling to and from.

Yeah, it's exactly. Is that car ride, dude? You need those phones. And then you need somebody on the maps tell you where to, you know, can someone search where a chick-fil-a is. Right. So you can do it and have it a little more your way because I do understand you're paying all this and you don't get to experience what you're paying for it because

everybody's glued to their phones. And gosh, camera, pictures, memories, videos. But there is a way to make that happen. There's a compromise there. So chase that. But for sure, tell them no phones at first. Right, right, right. And then come off of it so they know you're moving their direction.

Guys, I've been thinking about you all. No phones. I don't know. That sounds a little harsh. Some phones. Yeah, good luck with that. And I hope it works out for you. I get it.

All right, thank you. Close it up. We've got your email. I want to go over and talk to Brian. who lives in Wisconsin. Hey, Brian, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's up, buddy? Hello, I heard a while back talking about taping your mouth.

Yeah, so I saw it on TikTok months and months ago, and I was like, that seems crazy. And then I would read about it, and then I was really struggling with my sleep. So it's not like electric tape or duct tape. It's a tape that they make to put on your mouth. So I guess if you have to rip it off, you can, it doesn't hurt. But it's called hostage tape. So there's a couple different. There's different brands.

You can do the hostage kind. The kind that I was trying. lastly, it looked like an H. So you had one upper lip, one bottom lip, and then a one strap in the middle. They kind of kept it together. Oh, like a butterfly. So if you, yeah, so if you need it to, you could be a dish.

But if you pulled, it wouldn't open, but if you pulled hard, it would pop off. And there's one thing I like to do, pop off. Watch this. Pop off. So yes, and I will tell you that I do think it has helped a bit. I don't think it's completely changed my life. But I do think that the one thing,

I don't even get nearest thirsty at night because what would happen is my mouth would be wide open and I'm breathing like this. Oh, wow. So you dry out and you're like, oh, I'm so thirsty and you wake up. Because I'm breathing through my nose, I'm not dying of thirst in the middle of the night. I didn't think about that. That part alone has probably made it 10% better. You ever tried this, Brian, this tape? Yeah.

I went through the whole wrong and dance of CPAP machines. and the long-term compliance with those is dismal. And I started looking online for an answer and discovered people that will just tape their mouse duct. Ultimately, what I found was called tegaderm. It's made in front skin, and it's thin enough that you can actually probably poke your tongue through it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

If you mentioned taping your mouth to a doctor, they go into some kind of catatonic, like, oh, you can't do that, What if you throw up? Yeah, you could like s fix, like choke on your throw up. Oh. But yeah, but it's like Brian saying, it's not so hardcore that you can't even, if you really with a little bit of force, pop it off your mouth.

Right, right, Ryan? I could poke my finger right through it. Yeah. I do that trick with paper. You go like this. You take a little, and your tongue pops to it. Oh, yeah. That's fun.

We should do that. Yeah, but you can kind of do that with this. But I'm telling you, I'm not an endorser. This is not a commercial. I'm not even mentioning a brand. But for me, I've probably taped my mouth with specific tapment for it. 12 of the last 14 nights. And I feel like it's 10 to 15% better.

Wow. So I'm not on TikTok going, look at me. I'm healed. I had a wound and now it's gone. Or you touch the forehead at 3 o'clock in the morning. That's not it, but it has actually done pretty good. But I'm going to let my process grow. I'm going to do a few months.

I'll let you know. Hey, Brian, I appreciate that call, though, man. Thanks for calling and sharing your story, too. Yeah. All right, have a good day. You bet. Yep, you too, thank you. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. Tell me something good. Have you ever heard of the American Discovery Trail? No, I'm my big trail guy. I get lost a lot and then I have to walk back to the sign. Yeah, well, then you would definitely not want to do this. This is a 6,800-mile trek across the United States. Wow.

And a woman, Brianna DeSantis, she's 40 years old. from Maine and she just completed it. She's the first woman known to complete the trail so low. Why are you saying words weird? Because I'm just feeling. So low. Because this is, I'm not to tell you, the kicker. Okay, kick me, kick me.

She started this hike. It's all the way across America. That's crazy. January 2020. And she just finished. Whoa. Did we lose her for a while? No.

But that's how long it takes. She's going through like all kinds of terrains, the high, peaks in the Rockies, different landscapes. Like, she met kind strangers that offer her food and shelter, support. It says here, despite facing challenges along the way, she emerged as an inspiring figure and ambassador for the American Discovery Trail. That's cool. And now that she's done, she's going to do some public speaking.

She wants to write a memoir, and she just wants to inspire others to pursue their own dreams and adventures. She has a bunch of money saved up? Yeah, right, two years worth. The first thing I think of is, how do you not work? Yeah. But also it's, that's... Maybe playing for it.

That's quite the commitment and that's awesome. And nature's cool. You know all that. Maybe learn about trails. I took... My wife and I went on a trail hike. I don't know. Six months ago or so.

And I was like, I got this. I know where we're going to go. She's like, all right. Usually I'm not direction guy. I need GPS even when I go home. So I'm like, no, I've got that. I studied it up. And because there are like six ways to go.

One of them's like a 12 mile loop. One's like... So we were going to do like a four mile loop and go hike it and then be done and then go have lunch, I think. and so we do like a mile and a half of it and I said a lot of these because there'd be like little stations where they'd have the map up and some water

because it wasn't like super rugged or anything. I was like a lot of these stations look exactly the same and so we hit another one and then we hit another one and she goes I think that's the same station we've passed two times. I walked just in three circles about a half mile and I was like man these all look identical

and finally she's like I think it's the same one and it was. So I don't take the lead anymore. They're definitely not. No, no, no, I know I shouldn't. At least you were staying close. I want to inspire people. And it wasn't so low.

So low. So low. So low. First woman. So low. All right. Great story. That's what it's all about.

That was tell me something good. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast, eating while broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month hear from top streamer, Zoh Spencer. and venture capital's Lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,

it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids.

not have homes, communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

They were seven bucks a piece. Yeah. Just for a card. How many did you buy? Three, really? You could use the same one. Or you just could have taken a piece of paper. I've been like, I'm writing a letter.

But then he's raising their time checking out. Yeah, like I'm in love. Oh, you bought the cards while you're in line. Yeah. I thought you just went up to them with the cards. Me too. Got it. It's not like he wouldn't do that too, though.

True. That's funny. Well, I hope everybody had a good Valentine's Day. And thank you to everybody who's so nice to him and doesn't call the cops. You know, we'd like to say that. Thank you very much. And you know what that line was that we had to bleat? Yes.

They give me a. My jeans. Okay. Know what I mean? You got to beat that again, Ray. Okay. Oh, boy. No, no.

We knew what you meant then. I thought it was something else. Oh. We get it. Yeah. And that's too long of a rhyme, dude. Yeah, and it's not even really rhythmic. No, no, that's a good...

Oh, man. Here's a voicemail we got last night. Hi, morning studio. I was calling to ask about Morgan's vertigo glasses so random that I also had vertigo at the same time as her. And I was looking online and couldn't really find any. So Morgan, what brand do you use? and yeah, that would be super helpful. Love the show. Love you guys.

Morgan, what's the latest with your vertigo? So I had another specialist appointment, and it is clearing, but it's not clearing as quickly as they would want it to. What do you do in an appointment with the specialist? So the VR goggles that I talked about where they put them on, and basically she takes away my line of sight and they video my eyes, and she does maneuvers on me while watching my eyes. Like you're in a video game? Doom, tomb, too. Kind of. And she's moving my body.

Like, she moves me backwards to the side. She's basically turning my head so the crystals moving my head back to where they're supposed to be. Are you slowly starting to get better? Do you feel it? I am. Like I do feel better. I'm able to move a little bit more, but my equilibrium is still really off. And that's actually, it's because of the vertigo, but for what I have, it shouldn't be what it is. So they're really concerned about where my equilibrium is right now. Did they say don't jump on trampolines anymore? Kind of. She's like in my 20 years, I've never had anybody coming here because of that class.

You know, so it's definitely unheard of for that to be the reason. And yeah, now I can't like do things for a while. I got to wait until this episode totally clear so I don't reignite it. What about your glasses? When do you get to stop wearing those? Hopefully by the end of next week, I'm going to keep wearing them. So essentially they're helping with any like stimulation. So because my brain is oversimulated essentially right now, these glasses are helping kind of calm everything down.

That's showbiz, baby. That's us. We'll over stimulate the crap out of you. Yeah, and like these two yelling like, really puts me over, which normally it doesn't. Eddie and lunchbox? Yeah. Okay, I'll stop yelling.

Or you can just keep wearing on forever Horace Grant who played ball with the bulls or goggles. And that's what he's known for. But then he had eye surgery and he kept wearing the goggles because he said a lot of kids felt like they could wear glasses and still be cool, be a good ball player. So you could represent all of the young 30-year-olds with Vertigo in Kansas. I don't know if there's a lot of us. But yes, I have a new trend. I do have the brand for her. They're called Thera Spex.

And they are legit. Are those the apple ones? No, no, they're not the apple ones. But they are legit. They'll help you out. All right. Thank you. Hope you get better.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. Pickleball problems. It's a real thing. According to orthopedic surgeons, bone fractures related to pickleball are of 200%. More people are playing, right? Numbers game. Yeah. And sure, you go, well, it's not tennis and it doesn't move as fast.

But you're still doing lots of plants and cuts. And pickleball is a little easier. so you don't have to be in as great as shape, or you can be a little older, but then if you go hard older, you can fall a lot harder. Yeah, and yeah, 92% of these fractures are a result of falling the most common injuries

from pickle balls, sprained ankles, knee injuries, rotator cuff injuries. I've hurt my ankle. It hurt for, it still hurts, like four months because I jumped. I was making a great play too. It's awesome. It didn't quite happen, but I thought it was.

Oh, no. Yeah, I know. Almost made a great play. But, yeah, I'd land a ride on my ankle, but it's like any other athletic, you know, task if you land wrong or you don't stretch you can get hurt very easily but pickleball is weird though like older people like in their 70s are playing this like they're 20 again yeah because you if you don't if you're playing doubles you don't actually have to go as hard you can still play and be somewhat

competitive okay without covering as much ground it's better if you can they're not diving for the ball like you i'm stupid though women especially those over 65 are more likely than men to suffer a pickle wall injury. All right. There's also a worsening of arthritis. Yeah. Okay, so speaking of age, a lot of women dread turning 40, but to make things a little bit worse, there's a friendship dip that researchers are realizing is taking place that comes

with a 40-year-old birthday in women. Like friendships tend to take a nose dive. People don't want to hang out with 40-year-olds anymore? Wow. Sorry, I can't go out on Friday. You turned 40 last week, so. No, it's just that that's a time of life, a season for women. especially if, you know, you've got a career.

You are raising kids. They say if you work too much and you're a helicopter parent, this definitely impacts your friendships for sure. I think when you get 35 or more, you start to take out the garbage a little more, meaning those toxic relationships, you start to weed them out because you just don't have time for them. And so if they become a little too dramatic,

you naturally just evolve. Yeah, yeah, do attrition. So experts are saying, if you're a millennial that is experiencing this, join more organized activities. Like pickleball. And Amy, you said helicopter parents, so you mean like a good parent?

No, I mean someone that is a little too obsessed with their children so they don't make time for themselves. Well, let them go to Drake even though they're 31. I'm offended. So Ernest and Jellyroll released a clip of their new song together. And the lyrics are, one was in a dorm room and one was in a cell, who came out on top, it's hard to tell.

Yeah, that song's about them. They both grew up here. And what's it called? Yeah, they were, well, they were friends. And here's how it came about. Like, I guess Ernest was telling Luke Bryan the story about his friendship with Jelly Roll. And, like, he was like, yeah, I went to college

and he went to jail. And that's when they sort of lost touch. And Luke said, you better write that song right now. You told that here on this show. Well, Luke... You ever been on this show? Ever heard it? He told the Luke Bryan story?

He told the whole thing. Yeah. Well, okay then. Did he really? Yeah, I don't remember that. I'm with you, Amy. I don't remember that, Amy. Did he say it on the Bobbycast?

No. Where are you guys doing Wordle? Possibly. I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

Stay at home there's not been good. The Never Misses a Super Bowl club has struck again. These old dudes started going to the Super Bowl back in 1960. As a group of friends. And over the years, I mean, now that they're in their 80s, some of them have... Yeah, died. You can say that. No, I was going to say...

No, but you can say that. That's okay. Have gone on. That's good. But we spent a bunch of time talking about how we were going to say died, but that's okay. That's natural. Go ahead. Yeah, so the three guys, they kept the traditional alive. They went to the Super Bowl again this year.

They said it's getting more expensive. Yeah. It's getting harder. They're giving up all their retirement. money to go in Super Bowl. They have health issues, but they're making it a trick, and they went to Las Vegas, went to the Super Bowl, and they plan to hope

it to make it to number 60 in a couple years. That's really cool, that they've been able to do that for that long, because it's just like, you always want to, like, stay with your homies. Even if you don't, like I have friends now that I lost touch with for a bit, but then the pandemic hit and we started playing PS5,

like Madden in a league. And now, I mean, I might see them once every year and a half, We talk once a three days. And maybe not playing each other, but just like, hey, because we gamble on league. We play league and gamble. But it's like you want to have those friends for a long time.

And then you want to look better than them when you get older. What do you mean? Like physically look better? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're just a comparison. Oh, yeah. It's like, everybody's like, oh, I look back at my exes and they don't look very good.

It's like you want to win that race. Sometimes I go to Facebook, look at old high school dudes and like, all right, yes. And how do you feel about? Much better. Wait. This is a thing for men. Oh my goodness, Eddie. You are so in a competition right now

with your friends to look better. No, they're not in a competition with me. No, no, no. It's only an unhealthy, yeah, with me in the world. Oh, in the world, okay. Yeah, sometimes I'll just Google 43-year-old man to see what the average looks like. Oh, my goodness.

You're waiting. Good job, man. Yeah, you guys don't do that. I'm telling you, I do it sometimes. But you Google 43-year-old man to see an average. No, no, no, no. No, Facebook. Yeah.

And he goes to old high school rivals to see how they're looking for a new. Whatever, whatever makes you feel about. better? All right, great story. But my question, my question, when it's down to one, does he go to the Super Bowl? Yeah. No? No, unless he takes his wife and, like, dumps their ashes in the place or something. Oh, man. He doesn't go by himself. But you could take some of your buddy's ashes, all of them. You save a little bit, and then you put them all out in one of the stadium. But the problem is, it doesn't stay in the same stadium. Maybe you go to the first stadium if it's still there and put it there. That's a good one. But yeah, I mean, I just wonder about that. Yeah, me too. I wonder too a lot.

All right, there you go. Thank you. That's what it's all about. was tell me something good.
