Come on, Bobby.
Hey, welcome to the show.
Morning studio.
Morning.
Thank you guys for hanging out.
Here is your get-to-know question of the day.
What's your last, like, unnecessary purchase?
Something you bought and you're like, I don't know.
needed it. It was just kind of fun. Maybe you're
regretta, maybe you don't.
I mean, I always think of reasons why I need something.
You already have one? You know what it is? I was going to show
you mine. Go ahead. What is yours?
Well, I really do need this. You don't have to
justify it to us. Well, my
latest purchase is
this bissel cleaner
that's going to help clean my couches, because
of course I'm going to use it.
Why are you, she? Because I feel like it better not sit in the
closet. It was on sale. And I's also
one post about it and I'm like, well, I better get it at the discount and I really would like to, my dog will, you know, scratch her back like up and down the couch. And so I'm like, I want to clean that.
Do you feel like you might not use it just based on past experiences with buying stuff off the internet? Correct. But this, I'm going to use TBD on if it's unnecessary.
Eddie? This is stupid, man. The timing was just bad too. And I probably wouldn't have used it, but it's a walking treadmill. Basically, if you can watch like sports and you plug it in and you just walk,
while you watch sports.
Oh, a walking pad.
Yeah, that's what it's called, a walking pad.
It's a miniature treadmill, but, like, now that I broke my foot, like, I can't even use it.
When did you buy it?
About a week ago.
So you didn't even get a chance to not use it.
I use it one time.
You'll use it when you're better.
But it's a treadmill, you know, like...
Why would you buy it then?
Because I thought I would use it.
And it said you can go right under your bed, no problem.
It's, like, small enough to fit.
Inexensive?
It's like $150.
So, not inexpensive, but also not what a big treadmill would cost.
Right.
And I think the max speed is like maybe four miles per hour.
So you're not going to be running on it.
No, you're just walking, dude.
It's awesome.
I was watching golf when I first bought it.
And I was like walking the whole time.
I fell off a couple times because you have to pay attention while you're walking.
But if you're watching TV, it's not that easy.
Yeah.
So I fell off.
But I don't know.
I'm still excited, but I think it's kind of a stupid body now.
Does it slide under the bed like they said?
Yeah, it fits under the bed.
Well, good luck.
I'm not thinking you won't use it.
I'm thinking right now since you did break your toe or beside your foot.
My foot.
Okay.
I didn't stub my toe like you're making it seem.
No, I said it's worse than a stub toe.
Every time I've mentioned it, I've said it's worse than a stub toe.
Yes, it's a broken foot.
It's not a broken foot.
Because that feels like the whole foot's broken.
The side of my foot is fractured.
You have a chip in like your toe, the toe bone.
They said my bone actually chipped off like the bone.
Yeah.
Like your metatarsal?
Like your, oh, so it's not like the main part of the foot.
It's the right, it's the side edge of my foot.
He's trying to really...
You don't need it.
It sucked.
Yeah, and it hurts.
But when you, like, overdo it, it makes us want to go, okay, buddy.
I'm just...
Just to avoid all conversation about it, I broke my foot, man.
I don't think that's the case.
Yes, it does stink.
I'm very sorry.
Lunchbox.
Yeah, I bought some goggles, man.
Like, I was watching Shark Tank.
And here's the stupid thing.
Is I realize I don't even swim with goggles,
but they made them seem so awesome,
like real comfortable goggles that,
instead of those plastic straps
that can rip into your head,
hair, it's like a nylon cloth
and it's real comfortable and I'm like, oh, those
are awesome. Send me that link. And so
I bought the goggles and I'm like, man. And then I realize
I don't even swim with goggles, but they got
me the feeling of man, when you wear real goggles, it does rip into your hair.
And so I bought these goggles and I don't know if I'll ever use them. How long
you've been buying stuff off Shark Tank?
Since the beginning. Like how many years you think?
Oh, at least. Probably eight, nine, ten years. However long it's
been on, I still remember buying wild squirrel peanut butter from these two
girls that were in college, and I think
they went to Oregon or somewhere up there, and
one of them had allergies, and so they started making
food in their sorority house, and that's where they made
their peanut butter, and that's what they got a deal on Shark Tank.
And then I ended up buying it, because lunchwalks talked about how he
did it's so good? Is it still good? Still good. They still make it?
Yeah, and it's a different name now. Yeah, they didn't change
your name. Got it. So,
mine is not memorabilia.
Wow. I think it kind of is. Because it kind of is, but it's not.
I didn't buy it for memorabilia purposes. I, you know,
I dabble a bit in sports memorabilia and cards and stuff.
But I bought this to wear and then I realized when am I ever going to wear this?
But I brought it here.
Oh, geez.
What?
I'm a big fan.
Is it a onesie?
No, no, no.
A onesie?
A Furby.
No, no, no.
I have it here.
Hold on.
I'm a big fan of this person.
Okay.
So I thought, I wonder when I can wear this.
So I got a Caitlin Clark jersey.
Oh, my God.
That's pretty awesome.
Dude, that is pretty awesome.
The Indiana fever?
Yeah, that's cool, but you're definitely not going to wear it.
No, you have to wear it.
No.
Okay, so the question is, if you wear...
I don't mind somebody wearing a jersey, because it's like wearing any brand.
You're not wearing...
I saw somebody on Twitter was like, if you wear a man's jersey,
you're basically saying you submit to him and he owns you a player.
And I'm like, well, no, no, no.
That's like you wear a brand at all.
A sports team or an athlete, you don't know is just a brand.
The player owns you?
Yeah, it was something where it's like I wouldn't...
You lose all your masculinity if you wear another man's jersey.
Well, you're really wearing the brand of the team that you like.
And if you could, you'd probably put your own name on it, but not really an option for everybody.
But I have this, but I don't really wear basketball jerseys.
Right, and it's sleeveless.
And it's sleeveless.
Like, would I wear a shirt under it if I did or would I just wear it straight up?
Wear a shirt under this.
You know, you wear it straight up.
I would think I would wear it straight up because I always think people are lame that wear shirts under it.
You can't show your armpit hairs everyone.
I shave them.
Wear a shirt.
No, no, no, no, you wear it without a shirt and you play it when you're hooping.
This is the guy you're talking to.
I'm kind of agreeing with them right now.
What if I just wanted to wear it like doing the show?
You wear it no shirt underneath.
See, I would think that too.
Maybe I change later.
No.
Okay.
It took me forever to get this because they're all sold out on Fanatics and I ordered this.
That's really cool.
Is that?
Blue, Indiana, 22.
Kael and Clark.
That's legit, right?
Authentic jersey.
Nike.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Authentic enough for me.
It works.
Yeah.
I had to get it on eBay, though.
Really?
Because they're all sold out.
Yeah.
Sold that everywhere.
That's my last purchase that I may never even use.
Wear it, dude. But wear a shirt underneath, please.
I don't know. Maybe I do both later, and we take a picture and we see which one we think looks the most normal.
Let's open up the mailbag.
You send an email and we read it all the air.
It's something we call Bobby Mailbag.
Yeah.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
Earlier this week, I found out the guy that I've been dating for the last few months has a girlfriend he's been with for years.
Every time we've talked about taking our relationship to the next level, he would say he's not interested.
interested in anything serious.
Now I understand why.
I'm going to break it off with him, obviously.
But I'm wondering if I should just be glad I dodged a bullet or if I should reach out to his
girlfriend and let her know what he's been up to.
What do you think I should do?
Signed, future ex-girlfriend.
Amy, what are your thoughts on that?
Definitely be thankful that you dodged a bullet, but I don't think I just want to get involved.
So just you dodge the bullet and go on with your life.
man, I don't know.
I feel like this needs to be punished.
There's no girl code, like bro code, you know, like you let the person know.
I think I would probably.
I think if you know them, but if you don't know them, leave them alone.
If I know who it is, I'm probably creating a burner account and taking and I have proof on my phone
and I'm sending it to them just to let them know.
You and that burner account.
Well, because if he's been screwing me over, he needs to pay, he doesn't just get off with it.
He doesn't just get to go scot-free and do this to somebody else.
So mostly I'm doing it, well, one, one, for revenge, but two, so it doesn't happen to somebody.
else and three how about her she's being taken advantage of you can actually stop that from being
taken advantage of Morgan we don't like that part yeah oh I absolutely tell her I I've been in too many
situations with cheating people and you everybody should be exposed if you're cheating on people you
should be exposed if you're you're involved in it you're already part of the chili so that's your
chilly now and you got to tell somebody about it I agree and you can stop her from being
taking advantage of and you can possibly stop somebody else from going through the same situation with
this loser as well.
Yeah, and you don't know her.
So if she gets mad at you, then whatever.
You did your due diligence.
You told her, and it's up to her if she chooses to keep being with him.
And it's a burner account.
So you're good.
So you're good.
Yeah, I do.
If it were me, I would definitely make an attempt to reach out and let her know because she's
being messed with right now.
Unfairly.
She's being cheated on to.
Yeah, and she may not have no idea about any of this.
He could have multiple side pieces.
Double life.
Yeah.
Double life.
Oh.
All right.
That's not happening to Morgan, though, right?
Everybody, it's not.
Okay.
We got your email and we've read it on the air.
Now it's about the clothes.
Bobby fell back.
Yeah.
I was talking with Darius Rucker.
He's got a new book and we were just talking about how vulnerable you have to be
whenever you put out a book.
And I was talking to Darius about putting it all out there.
Oh, I put it out there for sure.
This is one thing I talk about in the book.
I don't see my dad from the time I'm like 13 or 14.
I'm 28, 15 years.
Nope, not a word.
Never saw his face.
Did you know where it was?
Yeah, 15 minutes from my house.
You know, he lived right up the road.
And never saw him for 15 years.
And then Letterman hits and things to start get crazy.
And we're playing out a string of clubs and rooms that we had booked.
And so we're playing in Charleston at the King Street Palace, which used to be Charleston County Hall.
I'm having dinner after sound check and he walks in the room.
Do you know what was him?
Yeah, Dean knew it was him before I say anything.
The Basis.
Like Dean, the basis.
We're sitting there eating.
And Dean looks up and goes, that's got to be your dad.
He looks just like it.
And he walks over and he talks to me and actually, really acts like, you know, we saw each other yesterday.
And I decided I'm going to be the bigger man.
And I was, you know, because really you have so many conflicting things.
I'm like, am I going to just blow this guy off?
I'm going to tell him, what are you doing here?
I've seen you in 15 years.
You know, get away.
No, I said, all right, I decided I was going to be the bigger man, try to develop some kind of relationship with him.
So he talked for a little while.
and I give my phone number.
This is for four cell phones.
I give my phone number and go on the road for a couple of days.
And I get back to my house and I check my answer machine.
And he's on my answer machine.
And the first message he left me in my whole life,
I haven't talked to him 15 years.
He asked me for $50,000.
It was shocking.
I was like, are you kidding me?
And painful.
And expected me to give it to him.
And here you are hopefully investing yourself back into something.
Yeah.
And the first that's, I like,
Like that hurts to my heart because that's just, that's so painful.
And I can understand being mad and like, I can't believe it.
But also, it hurts.
Big time.
Because that's your freaking dad.
Yeah.
I'll never forget after him coming and us going on the road, how I just felt like, okay, cool.
Now dad and I're going to have a relationship.
We're trying to have some kind of salvage something, father and son relationship out of this.
And that was the first thing he asked me.
And I don't think we've ever really had a conversation after that.
Is he still alive?
No, he died a few years ago.
Did you go to his funeral?
I did.
It sat at the back.
Yeah.
I often thought, I wonder if I'd go to my real dad's funeral.
You know, he left when I was six or whatever.
Sad in the back, didn't take my kids or anything.
What was that like for you?
It was amazing to me because I'm sitting in the back.
And all these people are getting up and speaking and talking about how great this guy.
And I'm going, well, he was great to everybody else but me, obviously, which is absolutely amazing.
Why do you think that he was estranged from you?
I think he had so many kids around town
that I was just another headache
and I never complained
and my mom never complained so you're not complaining
you know
I don't really care
Yeah squeaky will
So I'm not gonna come see you're not complaining
That also sucks he was so close
That's the thing that bothers me so much
I can't imagine as a father
I can't imagine my kid living 15 minutes from me
I literally lived 15 minutes from him
And not seeing him for 15 years
I can't imagine that
That's Darius Rucker.
The full hour of that conversation is on the Bobbycast.
You can search for that.
His book is called Life's Too Short, a memoir by Darius Rucker.
Go search for the Bobbycast if you want to hear the full interview.
But appreciate Darius for sitting down and talking about that.
It's time for the good news.
With producer Eddie.
Tell me something good.
So I'm pretty sure we already did it.
Tell me something good on this.
But Larry, he was a bus driver.
And he picked up some kids.
And it was Pajama Day at school.
And he noticed one kid didn't have pajamas.
And he says,
wear your pajamas.
I can't afford pajamas.
So Larry dropped off the kids, went to Walmart,
bought the kid pajamas with his own money.
It was a viral story.
We did a story on it.
Well, this company out of New York heard about it and said,
this is so cool.
It contacted the school.
The school says, yeah, we have a lot of kids that can't afford pajamas,
and we kind of stopped doing pajamas.
So they said, nah, don't worry.
We make pajamas.
The company's called EJ's PJs.
They're from New York.
They drove 800 miles, delivered the whole school pajamas.
That's cool.
So they can have pajama day every year.
There comes an age, though,
kind of stopped doing
pajama day.
But I remember
Why?
Because they're thin
and you see guys junk.
I swear,
I remember when I first started
this job,
lunchbox would wear
PJ pants.
Yeah, it's like
they're meant for the
yeah.
Right,
like those plaid pajama pants?
Yeah, yeah.
Did you make them stop wearing those?
I think it was just,
hey,
we need to dress like adults
more than me
making him stop.
Because when I started,
I'm like,
okay, that's what we do here.
We wear pajamas.
They just kind of show up
in pajamas.
That's kind of cool.
to show up
whatever.
I like they did that.
Hopefully there are other kids
that get to take part
in different things
even if it's not
pajama day.
What's up?
EJ's PJ's is a nonprofit
that's their whole thing
is to get kids
pajamas.
That's cool.
So they do them
to all different kids
all over the country
and it was started by a woman
and it was inspired
by her three kids.
Edward, Jeremy and Patrick.
EJ's PJs.
How cool is that name?
EJ's P.
It flows, man.
Yeah.
EJ's?
You don't forget it.
I'll probably forget it.
But I like it.
I like that they're doing. It's awesome.
Ask me tomorrow. I'll remember.
Great story. That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Elder versus
Millennial. It's trivia, battle, the
generations lunchbox are up first.
Yeah.
You're going to answer questions
that Abby would probably know the answer to it because she's
younger. Okay.
What does Bay stand for?
The millennial term Bay.
Before all else.
I'll accept it. Before anyone else.
Before all else.
I'll accept it. Let's introduce this guy here.
He's the captain of cringe.
He says,
does us win. You can catch him in his
Nissan Ultima, taking a ride
that's bumpy, and he doesn't know the difference
between Gandhi and Gumby.
That's rude. He didn't know.
He thought
Gandhi was Gumby. Correct. The green
guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox, though they grace
the feet of practically every 2000s
It Girl, these
shoes gained more mainstream
popularity when Oprah dubbed
them one of her favorites in
2003. What were these shoes? Oprah said they were her favorites. Though they grace the feet of
practically every 2000's it girl. Okay. Barkingstocks. In correct. Abby, you can steal.
Is that a brand? Yeah. Abby, were you an it girl in the 2000s? No. No. Definitely not. No. She ain't
an it girl in 2024. Okay. Why are you taking shots at her right now? Go ahead, Abby. Oh my gosh. In every

Need an answer here.

Sandals.
Ugh.
Oh my God.
Oh my gosh.
Lunchbox.

All right, Lunchbox's opponent.
She's our phone screener and producer.
She's been fighting through the pain of this game.
And let's just hope today she doesn't argue with her brain.
It's Abby.
Yeah.
Luxbox, if you win, you're the champion.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield.
And in this new season of The Girlfriends,
Oh my God, this is the same man.
A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
I thought, how could this happen to me?
The cops didn't seem to care.
So they take matters into their own hands.
I said, oh, hell no.
I vowed. I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the Girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.

I'm Ego Wodom.
My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live,
and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Ferrell.
Woo.
Woo.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with them one day.
And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through.
And I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah.
It would not be.
Right.
It wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Lunchbox wants to share a story about someone who has a toxic workplace trait.
First, what's the trait?
If I say the trait, everybody knows who it is.
That's fine.
Busy bragging.
Busy bragging.
Yep, busy bragging.
So what, define what busy bragging is.
It's someone that always talks about how busy they are.
and they're always just so busy.
They never have any time because they're busy.
It's the latest toxic workplace trend.
Are you saying people don't like people who do this?
And it annoys your coworkers and it makes you look stupid according to the New York Post.
And I read that and I was like, this is Eddie.
He's been doing this for a couple of years now.
He is the newest trend.
A couple of years now, like after I adopted my two kids.
Like Eddie made the New York Post?
You made the New York Post, dude.
Congratulations.
Amy, when I said busy bragging,
did you know who I was talking about?
Kind of a little bit,
but that's because we make a joke of it all the time.
Right.
You don't think he's actually busy?
No, no.
Guys, he always lets you know he's so busy
and we document him playing the guitar
and the other studio just hanging out.
He wants you to know he's busy.
I was training Abby.
No, that was way before Abby.
Hey, busy bragger right next to me.
Congratulations.
Double B.
Welcome to double B.
One clapper.
Busy bragglers?
Well, Amy jumped in a little bit too.
No, we just let's fuck.
Nah.
Amy, you know we make fun of us too.
No, I think that...
Are you a busy bragger?
Eddie?
I think even he knows he does it.
No, I don't.
I guess you do.
Just busy.
I'm a busy guy, man.
There you go.
Like, I'm busy.
I tell you.
Bones, are you busy?
I don't need to talk about it all the time.
Right, so we know you're busy.
But I don't, it's not...
But if anyone asks you, hey, Bones, can you do this today?
We don't have time of this day.
We don't have time of this day.
I never talk about how big.
I am. I'll say I can't because
well I can't. I'm tied up.
Calendar's full. Yeah. I don't ever go
well, look at me how busy I am. So I need to change it to
calendar's full. No, but you do
it. It doesn't matter. I'm not getting a part of this.
Do you even have a calendar? No, I don't.
Oh, you don't think you're on the calendar? No, I mean, I do
but I don't look at it. I mean, it's on my computer.
There's nothing on there. No, no, no. I just
know I have a lot. Everybody has a calendar on their
computer phone. He just knows he has a lot of stuff
going on. Today, today it's stacked
man. I got a lot going on today. You just have to go by
brain? Yeah. Oh yeah.
Amy, so let's be a little more positive here.
What is your story?
It's about re-watching movies and shows and the reasons behind why we do it.
So I can run through the list.
Is it because it's comfortable?
Like, we don't have to, I know for me I used to watch the honeymooners, then it was night court, then it became the office way later.
But I watched or Nick at night because I had seen all the shows already and I was comfortable knowing what was happening.
Because my mind wasn't like guessing what was next.
Well, so here's the list that they shared.
The more uncertain our lives are, the more we crave repetition, so that could be a potential reason why you're watching something.
Nostalgia can make us more optimistic about the future.
There's no risk of disappointment or heartbreak.
We know we're going to enjoy it.
It gives us order and structure, and then unconsciously, it puts us in the show and we feel like characters are our friends and they're checking.
No, you need to go check yourself in somewhere.
That sounds weird.
Yeah, those are your friends.
If like Dwight is my buddy and that.
Um, yeah.
Here's the thing about nostalgia.
We love nostalgic because it reminds us of, but the bad thing about people going,
I wish it were like it were 20 years ago or 50 years ago is we romanticize those memories
and we only really remember basically the good things.
Or we say like they don't make movies like they used to.
Right, right.
No, they made a lot of bad movies then.
You're just remembering the good ones that have survived through that time and comparing it to that.
Gotcha, okay.
Whenever you're nostalgic, you're not really nostalgia for bad things.
Because I was thinking it takes you to a time that was like simple.
Like when I was seven.
But it wasn't simple then.
But it was for me because I was seven years old.
Like what was I worried about?
No, seven.
Okay, that's a young kid.
But some people are like, I'll like it.
If it were like the 60s or the 70s again.
No, that's dumb.
You didn't have medicine.
Right.
Or like the same technologies you have now.
Presidents were getting shot then.
Well, no, not the 60s.
Yeah.
JFK.
Yeah, you're right.
The person was getting shot.
And then like, you know.
He said presidents.
I was thinking like every one of them that got elected got shot.
When was Ronald Reagan? He got shot at.
80.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ronald Reagan got shot?
He survived.
He survived.
John Hinkley, right?
Yeah, and then another president, he lied.
He got to resign.
Well, that's happened.
There have been two presidents got impeached Clinton and Trump.
That's right.
Yeah.
So most of nostalgia is just remembering the good parts of older times, not the bad.
Yeah.
But yes, nostalgia's fun.
Especially like 90s concerts.
Like I saw Alanis was coming to town.
I was like, I'm able to go to that.
Let's go to that.
Landis Morseh.
She does all jagged little pill.
I want to know.
That song had every hit on it.
To remind you of the life you left.
When I went away, it's not fair.
And then it was like, isn't it ironic, don't you think?
Mr. Play it's safe.
Who was afraid?
Was afraid.
Some of those lyrics, so I go back now and I think about it.
I'm like, I was like in seventh grade in my room playing that on my CD player as loud as possible.
and it was like lyrics I can't even say right now.
That's what your kids are doing too though, right?
Hey, hey.
Because I got one hand in my pocket and another one is giving a peace sign.
Dude, she was so awesome.
You live and you learn.
There's the movie theater line.
Yeah.
You live.
What's the movie theater line?
You ought to know that song.
They deleted it out of the song.
Like I would go to that concert.
Simpler time, man.
Simpler time, man.
Good old days.
Here's a voicemail. Go ahead.
Morning, Bobby.
Morning studio.
To be honest, I was really, really annoyed with the way you chose, you know, the rollout on who was going to get the movie role to the point where I got so annoyed that I just gave up and didn't even care anymore.
But when I heard it on the show, when you actually said it was you, outstanding.
That was great to hear Lunchbox lose his mind for about.
30 seconds because he thought he was going to Hollywood.
Outstanding.
Love the show.
I appreciate that.
Thanks, man.
Yeah, I'm glad my pain is your humor, man.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So, Bobby, would you say as you're aging, are you getting more positive or more negative?
Well, I would say I don't care as much about the negative stuff.
I don't focus as much on, I just don't deal with it.
it. Okay, so I'd put you in the positive category.
Yeah, I don't know that I'm like, what's up?
Everybody's going to be a great day.
But I do, if it's negative, I kind of am like, I don't want that to be around me because it makes me feel negative.
So I'll go positive-ish.
Okay, you're with the majority of people this whole survey was taken about, you know, if we're more positive as we age, or more negative.
But if you're one of the negative people, watch out around age 42, because that's when it starts.
And you can just get a little grumpy about all the things.
You get more negative at 42?
42 and up.
41? No, no. No, 42.
Yeah. All right. So the top things that likely annoy you.
Grocery prices, politicians, someone else's driving habits, crowds and the weather.
Oh, do this coming up. Give me the top five things that annoy you.
Okay. Okay.
All four of us. Top five things that annoy you. That's your homework coming up in a second.
I mean, we want the show to be positive, but I think that's fun.
Yeah, it could, uh, it's self-awareness.
So then we know if that's what annoys us, we can focus on not letting it.
Yes.
Okay.
So the USPS wants us to get larger mailboxes.
They're called jumbo mailboxes.
They cost more.
Well, yeah, they're not selling them themselves.
It's a new tier.
It's like Netflix.
Get a new tier.
But it's just people, you're getting less like letter type things and bills in the mail
and more package type things in the mail.
And they would like for you to have more room.
And they said that places like Home Depot and Walmart,
Like you could go there and get a jumbo mailbox.
They want us to put physical.
Got it.
Yeah.
They just throw stuff on my yard or by the door.
Like they don't even put it in the mailbox.
Oh, I have seen boxes in your yard.
Yeah, and in the yard.
Yeah, that's crazy.
And not only that, sometimes if they aren't able to get up to the door,
they'll just like shove it underneath the mailbox or like wrap it around the, it's wild.
I guess they don't care about their jobs.
sometimes, not to mail people, but like any delivery.
FedEx, UPS, Amazon, Amazon.
You got people driving up in random cars.
I know, I know.
It's like, I saw one the other day.
I'm like, who is that?
And sometimes they go up, 10 o'clock.
They go right up to your door.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, the more they can fit in your mailbox,
the less they have to go up to your doorstep
or leave a note saying, hey, come to the post office to pick this up.
So they say the jumbo mailboxes, again, they're sold.
They're anywhere from 60 to 100 bucks.
A big coffin and write mail on it and just have them drop it in there.
All right.
Morgan Wallen, his.
bar was supposed to open last weekend for Memorial Day weekend and that got delayed.
It never happened.
And now the new opening date is TBD.
They wouldn't give them a sign.
It's kind of dumb.
So stupid.
It's kind of dumb.
They're sending a message, right?
Yeah.
You know what the message is?
They're going to lose eventually and they look petty.
And we're a town right that encourages tourism and he's going to open a very successful.
I hear you, but it's dumb.
Did you see pictures of Broadway from the Mortal Day weekend?
It was hacked.
Were you down there?
No, I saw pictures.
But you and him?
I don't know.
No, I was on TikTok.
It was crazy.
I'm Amy.
That's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Stay at home is something good.
There's a dad at Walmart in Florida and he gets his one-year-old daughter,
straps her in the car, closes the door, walks around to the driver's side.
Uh-oh.
It's locked.
Let me try the other side.
Ah, it's locked.
All the doors are locked.
He puts his head against the window.
Oh, no.
Car keys are inside.
One year old daughter inside.
He's like, oh my gosh, I'm freaking out.
He hits the 911.
What's your emergency?
I guess I just locked my daughter in the car at the Walmart.
Can you please come?
Deputies arrive.
They look, see the girl's in distress.
She's sweating because it's been about 10 minutes in the Florida heat.
And they take a little thing and push.
smash the window.
They have the thing that smashes so it doesn't go everywhere?
Probably.
Like you put it on it.
Yeah, he had a small spiked metal ball.
Yeah, yeah.
Lunch once made it look like you got a brick and like...
Yeah, he's all big.
I'm thinking it goes, stick.
Yeah.
And then you just take it out.
But I think that's a really cool invention so the kid doesn't get glass all in there.
Yeah, yeah.
What?
What?
If you're the dad, just break the window, man.
Just break the front window?
That's true.
Like, just break your driver's side window and get in there.
Like, I ain't waiting 10 minutes.
for the cops to show up.
Maybe they're closer than 10 minutes.
If it's at Walmart, it's probably an area
where they could be there within two or three.
And if it's not super hot,
and maybe you don't have to pay for a new window.
You don't have the money.
And you're evaluating going,
okay, she's fine for another five minutes.
I'm looking at her.
She's not panting.
Yeah.
I think it is a situation that you deal with
based on what the circumstances are.
It happened to us one time.
We had to break the window.
Were you in like Florida?
I wasn't there.
It was my wife and my son locked the door.
I think he was like three or whatever.
And he locked the door and started laughing.
She was like, ah!
got her.
And he would not unlock it so she got one of the neighbors to come by and break the window.
Got her.
And the neighbor's like, are you sure you want me to do this?
Like, yeah, break it.
He was laughing?
Yeah, he's laughing the whole time.
Got it.
Good story.
Kid's safe.
That's all the matters.
That's what it's all about.
That was telling me something good.
A win is a win.
A win.
I don't care what I'm saying.
Yep, that's me.
