Starting point is 00:01:52 Yeah, welcome to Thursday show. Morning studio. Morning. Let's go around the room. He ate an entire tub of. ice cream in one sitting. Now his pants might have a little more trouble fitting. Here he is. Producer Eddie, Eddie, say something. Man, I can't believe I'm going to admit this. And I've thought about not doing it, but I have to do it. So a while back, I said I saw a UFO. I looked out my
Starting point is 00:02:19 bedroom window. I saw this light hovering for about 20 seconds. I was like, that's interesting. I zoomed in on it with my eyes. And then it went up straight into the air. You did say, with total conviction that you saw it outside your window of your house. Correct. We didn't believe you, but we believe that you believed you. Yes. And I saw it again last night. And I'm like, oh my gosh, there it is again. Try to get a shot of it.
Starting point is 00:02:40 So I know. I just walked up to the window. It's almost like a movie, you know? Like walking in my like pajamas and like walking close to the window. And then again, I look closer to the light. It's a reflection of my wife's phone. And I saw that because we have double pain windows. And I didn't realize that the reflection can be that far.
Starting point is 00:02:58 So the original sighting was her on her phone and her putting the phone away on her nightstand. How many UFOs do you think this is actually what's happening? A lot. Like something stupid where someone doesn't even realize? That made me realize this happens all the time, I bet. Because Bones, when it happened the first time, I was like, this is real and no one's ever going to believe it.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Did it scare you? Yes. Did it scare you that if you did tell your truth, that we would all judge you as well? Yeah, well, you guys did judge me a little bit. Yeah, but I mean, like, really, like, people are going to think I'm a weirdo. Dude, so last night when I saw it again, I'm like, it's happening again.
Starting point is 00:03:27 They're calling for me, and then it was a dumb phone. They're calling for you. They came back to get their leader. All right, next up. My basketball team beat his in March Madness, and now for him it's all March Sadness. Oh, no. That's huge. That's huge.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Thank you. Hey, we meet him in everything. Football, basketball, it doesn't matter. I thought we weren't rubbing it in. I love it. It's days later. I didn't write this. They won one game.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Win a national championship and talk to us. I didn't write this. When a national championship, talk to us. It's March sadness. Here he is. Mr. March sadness. Lunchbox, everybody. You guys keep telling me I need to quit playing the lottery, but I went into the gas station.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I bought a $10. scratch off, went back to the 05 Ultima, Scratch, Scratch, I won a free ticket. So I went back in and said, hey, give me that same ticket. Go back to the car, scratch, scratch, scratch, and I hit it big! I hit it big!
Starting point is 00:04:19 How big? Is it so big that... Okay, hold on. Do you have audio? Oh, we got audio. Okay, here we go. Is it over $1,000? He's not going to say this. All right, play the globe. All right, I had that free ticket, then I won $10. And then I'm back because I hit it big.
Starting point is 00:04:36 No, you did. Now, I hit it big. Now, I don't know if you can handle it or if I got to go to the lottery office. $100. $100, you know what that makes me do? Holla! $100, let's do it. What does $100 make us do?
Starting point is 00:04:49 Hala. Let's do it. One, two, three. Hallo! Thank you. Up in here. Man, it felt good, though. That is good.
Starting point is 00:04:57 If you just said I won $100 and scratch off, we'd have been like, dude, that's awesome. But you played the quiet game with this and, like, really try to build it up. That's good, though. Man, it was awesome. It was like, oh, I get that free ticket, go back in, then you went $10. You're about getting another ticket. So it was like a little game. It was like you're inching towards it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And then boom, big one. Should he take that 100 and pay you for? I don't know. Yeah. He was robbed in the shoe deal. This is a separate transaction. We have a business account for that. We have no account.
Starting point is 00:05:27 In any account, we would have would have a broke. Finally, she celebrated her birthday over the last weekend. And she's also a really great friend. Here she is. Amy, everybody. Okay, so just something that's been coming up in our house since we flew last weekend is this flight attendant was talking about how our seats turn into a flotation device, which is up there making jokes, and then talking about how if you're in the water, then there's lights. And then if there's sharks, you'll be safer. And my son cannot handle stuff like this.
Starting point is 00:05:58 So I thought, is she not aware that there's children on the plane? and now you're talking about us in the water with our flotation device, encountering sharks? Yeah, crashing, first of all. But that you have to say. You listen to this flotation device. Right, and I get that part. But we don't have to go off into this whole scenario, how we're stuck in the water, and then there's sharks involved because that just created this whole, like, slew of questions.
Starting point is 00:06:21 My only saving grace is that Austin to Nashville, we're not flying over any ocean. So we have nothing to worry about. She just has to say that. But, I mean, he's still asking about it. I guarantee you next time we fly, it will come up. Do you think we're going to be okay? Are we flying over water? Is there going to be sharks?
Starting point is 00:06:38 He also thinks because of the news, right, that Russia is going to like or China is going to bomb us or something, into the world type of stuff. World War III. Yeah. I think that too. Sometimes it'll be fair. After watching the news. You do. That's why I don't watch the news anymore.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's right. Ray, go ahead. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. His dog goes to rehab for dogs. And man, that dog can saw some logs. Bobby Bones. What is he's talking about? Snore.
Starting point is 00:07:00 That's not what that means. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's my use. I meant poop. Never heard that in my life. Well, so we have an affiliate in Saskatchewan, Canada, and the town is called Regina.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And I will sit here and I cut stuff for them individually every morning. And I'm like, hey, thanks for listening. We have a lot of Canadian affiliates, which is really cool with our shows on there. I saw them in the news. So I wanted to give them a special shout out. I love being able to shout out our affiliate towns that we're in. So this town, Regina, just got in trouble. because the tourism board
Starting point is 00:07:33 had to apologize because they had their new slogan that was, show us your regina. What? That's funny. That's a virginia. I know it's the name of the town, but is there something like? Show us your vagina.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Amy, stop. No, I get what it could sound like. That's the point. They wanted it to sound that way. Yeah, that's the point of show us. What else are you going to show? The other one has been for a while. sword. It says, Regina, the city
Starting point is 00:08:01 that rhymes with fun. Oh. Hey man, that's creative. I've known that one for a while. That's creative. So I want to shout out to our affiliate in Regina. Oh, man, don't litter in Regina. Amy, that's good too. Whoa. Yeah. Well, it's just the name of their town. Yeah. I know. So shout out Regina. It's just some good, clean Canadian fun. I'd like to recognize that. And I think that their tourism board, you know, I hate
Starting point is 00:08:25 see yet to apologize. That is the name of your town. And if I said show us your Nashville, I'd mean like show me the good parts of Nashville that you love. That's true. All they're saying is show us your vagina. Oh, man, that's so good. There's so many good ones we can just say. Yeah, we're probably not going to do that, though. I'm probably not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:08:41 All right, thank you guys. Let's get started with the show. Time for the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I have been married for two years. I recently discovered.
Starting point is 00:08:58 that he has a secret bank account. It's not good. That's tough because what else is the idea? I merged my bank account into his when we got married and that has been our primary account. But I just found out after he made a few recent big purchases and noticed they did not
Starting point is 00:09:16 come out of our joint account that he has a secret account. He calls it his rainy day fund. He deposits any bonuses he gets from work and any money he makes from his side hustle of detailing cars. Turns out he has a significant A significant amount of money in this account.
Starting point is 00:09:33 We're okay financially, but at times it is bothersome, and it probably can help us out in a pinch. He doesn't think it's a big deal. Bobby, like you, he grew up very poor, so maybe there's something there and there are issues with reverting back to that. But it can't help asking. Why would my husband have a secret bank account? Are there other things he's hiding? Is this a red flag? Signed, wife with money woes.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Yeah, it's a red, it's a light red flag. in that he shouldn't do it. And yes, I would think if someone was keeping something from me in that space, what else are they keeping from me in other spaces? Like, I definitely would have that feeling. I do think there's probably a bit of trauma to look at, though, and try to understand why he would do this aside from anything nefarious, anything bad. I don't have any secret accounts.
Starting point is 00:10:24 And if I did, I wouldn't say it here. That's for sure. But I don't have any secret accounts. but I would understand if he feels like at any minute you guys could be poor again. I have very troubling. I've had many issues with that over my life.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I'm at a place an hour where I don't feel like I worry about that as much. But I can understand if this is me seven years ago, it'd be in a different story. Because if I had a secret account, it wasn't that I was trying to hide something. It was that I was trying to have something
Starting point is 00:10:54 safe just in case. And I'd be afraid that if someone else had access to that safe just in case, they would spend that safe just in case. The issue here is I see he made a couple big purchases. If he's buying golf clubs, you know, that kind of cancels that out. I guess it matters what the purchases are because it really just could be as fun fund. I hate to give him the benefit of the trauma if it's just this fun fund. It's a conversation that needs to be had because he shouldn't be keeping things from you like that.
Starting point is 00:11:25 My only request of you is that you actually listen, open mind, and go, I want to hear what he has to say, why he has to say it, and then see if you understand his explanation. You don't have to agree with it, just understand it and then go from there. Because if he grew up, like I did, I understand him wanting to have a safety net. I tried to have one my whole entire life. I would pay extra on my bills. And they'd be like, stop doing this. So that to me was like a safety account. But again, if he's buying a go cart, where there's a whole issue here. So he's not cheating on you, but he's not not cheating on you.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Okay? So he's not cheating on you because of this. It also doesn't mean that he's not not cheating on you, but I don't think he is. I think there's some trauma you need to investigate, listen to him, and then go from there. Don't go in with accusations. Go in with, hey, I see you got an account.
Starting point is 00:12:22 What's up? Why do you have this? He's going to get defensive. It'll probably turn into a fight. If so, let it calm down and then go back to it at a later point. Because sometimes you get with me, I'm like, oh, hey, yeah, I get offensive. My wife's my life, okay, cool. Then we'll, after I've had time to think about why I shouldn't be defensive,
Starting point is 00:12:41 because I'm doing anything wrong, I just automatically defensive. We'll go, she'll readdress it later. She treats, I am a child. I was going to say she treats me like a child. I am a child. And so she's learned how to negotiate through life with me in that way. Yeah. Also, I've been alone for my whole life, until her, 30.
Starting point is 00:12:57 3839, never lived with anyone, never was engaged, never married, anything like that. So I still have that mentality. Just you need to talk about it, but don't go in angry about it. In that conversation, should she ask for access to that account so she can watch it? Not at the beginning. Yeah, yeah, somewhere in the conversation. But also, I don't think, I think it's okay for people to have their own accounts if they want. You can hide them, though.
Starting point is 00:13:18 You can hide them. So he can, hey, okay, if you want that, great, but let's just be transparent with each other. And by the way. That's when you get a secret, secret account, a secondary. Then there's trouble. But then for her, she can be like, okay, wow, you've inspired me. I'm going to go open up my own account. Talk about it.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Understand where he's coming from. Don't go in angry. Figure it out the end. I don't think he's cheating on you. But I'm not totally wiping that out. My favorite part. He's not cheating on you, but he's not not. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I don't think he is. We don't know. But you can't go ahead and say you for sure he isn't. Right. Thank you. That's been a very special edition of the mailbag. Multi-layers, nuance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Which, you know, America doesn't only have that anymore. That's nuance for you. All right, close it up. We got your key mail and we now is found to close. Bobby's mail back. It's been happening over the past six, seven months or so. Lunchbox and I went in together, which was a huge mistake. And we got into the business of finding a storage unit.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And then when it goes up and they don't pay their bill, they auction it off. We bought one. Had lots stuff in it. Lots of shoes. Had some illegal stuff. We haven't been able to talk about yet. And I said, I'll pay for 75% of it. you just do a listing and handle it online. He's like, no problem. We've run into a few hiccups
Starting point is 00:14:32 along the way, which the last one was the person said they got the shoes. Well, no, they said they didn't get them, so they got a refund, but I have a receipt saying that they were delivered. But do you have the shoes back? No, I didn't get the shoes. So we lost the shoes and the money. Yeah, so and eBay said they held a court order or whatever, and they decided to grant them their refund. So it was taken out of our shoes. They were signed for at that address. So I don't don't have any control over that. Okay, so we lost money there. That was a nice pair of bally's too.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Yeah, so what's next? How we took another hit, man. So. This is so stupid. Go ahead. No, no, we sold a pair of Air Force ones for $90, size 8, and the person said, hey, will you sign them? So I had everybody in here sign them. Everybody was gracious with their autographs, put them on the shoes, mailed them out.
Starting point is 00:15:24 And our item didn't pass authentication because they were all. altered and the buyer was refunded their $90. And I'm like an autographed item you can sell. Yeah. Yeah. The shoe has been repainted or altered from the original condition.
Starting point is 00:15:42 But didn't they ask for that? Yes. But can't you show them that? Go to whatever court they're talking about and say, Your Honor, this is them. And eBay said, your buyer was refunded. Your item couldn't be authenticated and was shipped back. I haven't got it back. We refunded the buyer $90 because it was altered or damaged. Maybe it's the wording.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Maybe he has to put on their autographed shoes. They asked for it. They asked for it after they were done. If you repost it and say autographed and sell it to that person, maybe you can sell it. And so $90 out of our count, gone. Boom. See you later. I don't.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Like eBay just does not like us. This is getting really. Well, actually, I just, I put so much money into this. Never, guys never give lunchbox any money for anything. Hold on. Hold on. You and I are in with him on investments. Yeah, that's $30, though.
Starting point is 00:16:27 And I'm okay with that. A little more than I am. The $100. I gave him. But how is that my fault? I did exactly what the buyer wanted. But everything is happening. If only one of these things happens,
Starting point is 00:16:39 we're like, dang, that's showbiz, baby. It's part of doing business. Man, this is being an honor. But it's every single thing that we do is wrong. And I don't think that we're just unlucky every time. Oh, I do. Entrepreneurship is hard. You don't see these dead ends coming and then you got to pivot.
Starting point is 00:16:52 This is human error. This is not. How is that human error? It said, hey, will you sign the shoes? Cool. Sign them. And how does eBay know they're altered? Like, they didn't pass authentication?
Starting point is 00:17:02 What does that mean? Does eBay, like, take your package? Where did you mail them to? When you mailed them. Whatever address it says on the thing. So if it's something like a shoe, what shoe was it? An Air Force One? Air Force One.
Starting point is 00:17:16 They will take it to make sure it's not a fake shoe. Stock X does it. For shoes, they don't want anybody selling ripped off fake shoes. If you were sending it right to the address, see, I don't think you did your research. That's my point. No, no. I, whatever, they paid for it. You didn't write autographed on there.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And you have to send it to the person. Listen, it said... I'm listening. I couldn't be listening any harder. Once they paid, they said, ship to this address. So I shipped it to that address. I don't know whose address that is. When do I get my check?
Starting point is 00:17:44 Man, it's supposed to be that Monday after your birthday, April 3rd. No, not supposed to be. It will be. Well, yeah, but right now, we ain't got no money, man. Man, he sounds wimpy. Oh, man. Come on, man. We didn't got no money, man.
Starting point is 00:17:56 We just keep losing money. I'm about to kill him. I'm giving him until the dad my birthday. birthday and then I'm going to kill them. I'm sorry. You don't mess with people's money. And he obviously didn't read the rules about selling shoes on eBay. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:18:08 Why do you yell? What do I mean? You didn't read the rules about selling shoes on eBay. They said, would you like to sell something? I said, yeah, shoes. And they said, all right, cool. What do they look like? Show us a picture.
Starting point is 00:18:17 What size are they? I did it. And you're telling me when you're putting up shoes. They don't say anything about, oh, you need to mail them to this person to make sure they're real. But they're not saying that they're going to authenticate them in any way. Why do you say nay? You didn't say no. He didn't say no.
Starting point is 00:18:30 No, let me see here. Let's go selling. Ray, what do you think's happening here? The shoe thing is new for me. That is whack because I guess there must be a center you have to send the shoes to and that's how it all went down. When you buy shoes, I've never sold shoes. I've never. But still, that's got to be in the rule. It's going to be in some sort of typing. Where he went wrong is eBay. It needed to go to, there's all these different kinds of apps, swap, Facebook marketplace. What about the money that we didn't get back from the person who didn't sign for it? Do you think all this is us being unlucky or do you think it's human error?
Starting point is 00:18:58 No, eBay's gone the way of the everything, the dodo bird, because of that, the stupid signing thing. I'm telling you, you got to meet people in person, Facebook marketplace is money it's taking over. No idea why you guys did eBay. So you think, well, I didn't. Well, you want to know why? Because then you have a whole new market that it's open to. Let's listen to the market. Because if you do Facebook marketplace, you have about the market that screws you and you get no money.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Is that a massive market where you get screwed to get no money better than the tiny market where you get money? How was I know that we were going to get scared? I don't know how was I know. How was I know? How was I supposed to know that we were going to get scammed? Hey, this is your business. I feel like I've been scammed. I've been scammed.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I come on this show and we do scam alerts and I say live vlog. And yet I'm the one that got scammed by him. I think I've been a victim of a scam. It's me. I'm the victim here. No, I was the victim. We put those shoes up and I mailed them and they were signed for. How does that happen and how do they just take that person's word for it over ours?
Starting point is 00:19:57 Monday, April 3rd. You better have my money? Either get, hey, better have my money. Or there will be 80 double hockey sticks to pay. Oh, dang, well, dang. What big thing have we learned from this? Don't give lunchbox your money. No, no, eBay is tough.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Like, eBay is hard to deal with. Hey, Mike, everybody's a lesson. Mike D. Can you help me? Sounds like lunchbox is giving a lesson how to scam him. Yes. Just order anything he puts up. Say you sign for it.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Oh, yeah. Good point. Okay, thank you, lunchbox. So please, mailroom, be on the lookout for these shoes that are supposed to be coming back to us. Mailroom? You put the return address here at work? Well, yeah. You mean the table in the kitchen?
Starting point is 00:20:37 That's where all our mail goes. Oh, my gosh. I should have just taken money and burned it on the show. Like, here's the money and the lighter and burn it. Well, I didn't think anything would be even returned to us. Okay, look. Goodness. And we still got a pair that won't sell, man.
Starting point is 00:20:52 What's that? The Nike Air Max 97 World Tour, Men Size 11. Put them on Facebook. Marketplace? They've been up three times. On Facebook Marketplace? No, the first time. Why do you keep going to eBay? We've been scammed every single pair of you've sold. It got to $35, but my minimum was $39.99 so they didn't meet the requirement. Why not try a different place?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah, why not? You could have tried Poshmark. Go to Facebook Marketplace. You're on Facebook every morning on the show. No. Just click one little tab called Marketplace. I've been anti-Facebook on the show. Okay, you've been on Crossword puzzles. That's correct. Okay. There's no Marketplace for that. Okay, we're done. I'm going to play this song. I'm going to cry into my table here because I'm that money. I'm never going to see it, right?
Starting point is 00:21:30 No, it's gone. He's going to present me the big check. He's going to present me the big check. I'm never getting to business with him again. That's it. Now, we got other things on the docket. No, we don't. They can know about. What? What is that mean? He's going to start sound the illegal stuff. We have not. Oh, not? He's getting desperate now. It's time for the good news.
Starting point is 00:21:49 With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Tammy Lauren is a second grade teacher in Byron, Michigan. And March is Reading Month. So she thought, thought, you know what, let me reach out to one of my students and see if he can come and speak to my class. Well, one of her old students back in second grade was race car driver Eric Jones. He drives the number 43 Chevrolet car for NASCAR. This dude's awesome.
Starting point is 00:22:11 So she reaches out. She says, hey, will you come visit the students? Sure. He shows up. Goes back to his hometown, sits, tell stories about race car driving. And then he gifts them a book vending machine. So, like, students can earn tokens by like taking tests or whatever. And they get those tokens put in the vending machine, get a book.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Pretty cool. Do they make venting machines or do you have one made? I've never heard of this one of those from my house. Oh, they do? They do? How do you earn your tokens, Bobby? My wife would say, you've been good today,
Starting point is 00:22:39 been a good husband, there's three tokens, go get you a book. And who would stock the vending machine? Who would stock the vending machine? I guess him. Eric Jones. And that one. Oh, you made it in my house?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Probably my wife. It'd be mostly books that she wants me to read. Marriage books. And then occasionally I do Lour House in the Prairie. That's funny. Is that it? That's it. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Awesome story. Do you know him? I mean, I know him, you know, like, on TV. Yeah, but I don't bet on him. He doesn't win a lot of races. I was asking about betting any. I was asking if he knew him. He's not my top 10 racier.
Starting point is 00:23:07 He's a degenerate gambler to you. Immediately goes to gambling. I don't bet on Eric. Okay. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Last week here, Amy was talking about how she's getting a divorce and we were very sensitive to talking about it for a long time. There are a lot of reasons that we weren't able to talk about it, kids.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Legal stuff. Privacy issue. but we did and it's out and a lot of people reaching out. They've been fantastic about it, at least to me from what I've seen. Have you been cool with you? Yeah, I mean, anybody not been cool? I mean, yeah, I try to just swipe on by. Send me their name.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Send me their name. Most people and I feel like I'm supposed to see these comments or ones that are like, oh man, I'm going through this too. And so that's where it's like, oh wow, like it's, because it's not easy to navigate and I feel for anybody that's having to do it. And, you know, some of the stuff that I've done over the last six months that I have not been able to talk about is like how I was really nervous I was going to fail my co-parenting divorce course that I had to take. It's a four-hour. Who's making you take it? You say have to take. The law.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh, really? Oh, wow. So every state is different, but the state of Tennessee, at least, like when you go before, like the judge, so there's courts that are looking at everything and this has to be completed. And you have to pass a test after you take the four-hour course. And it doesn't, it's not one of those where you can just, you know, act like you took the four hours, there's a timer. So it's timing. It knows. Each page? Yeah, each page.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Like, you're on there until you've completed it and watched the videos. What kind of questions do they ask, though? Like, just an example. Well, you watch. So, for example, it would be like you, they take you through a scenario of, like, a video, a reenactment or something of a family where the co-parents are not being nice to each other and how they're handling the situation is not necessarily going to be beneficial. for the kids and you have to watch the whole scene so you know like, hey, then the question would be like,
Starting point is 00:25:04 hey, what did, you know, the dad say wrong in this case? Like, what could he have done better? And then you pick the answer. But sometimes I felt like my core, like, like stuff I believe in how I would handle it was a little bit different than I guess what the law is saying. So I was so nervous I was going to answer stuff wrong. I only missed two questions, though. I don't have many. I don't remember. Four. That's what I was going to say. Oh no, it was a full-blown test. Like, it was four hours. Over 50 questions?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Well, probably. How'd you feel like the acting in the scenes? Well, I thought that people, well, what I wanted to know, it's, I'm assuming it was reenact. Yeah, it had to be reenacting. Well, they didn't have like secret. Hey, we guys let us know when you're fighting over the kids. No, no, no. What I meant to say was, I know they're reenacting, but I don't know if these are like real families that they pulled or husband and wives where they're like, hey, we know you're going through this.
Starting point is 00:25:57 this is awesome. Cry actors. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. They did a good job. That's what I was going to ask. Did you watch it?
Starting point is 00:26:02 And we were like, this is some corny acting. Maybe that's a gig I could get. Well, you figure out how to audition for this. That's good. Somebody who's getting divorced sees it. It's like, wow. Has anything happened with your acting career? No, I'm still taking lessons.
Starting point is 00:26:18 But I have not auditioned for anything either. So, but I'm trying to get through some big life things right now. But I'm still, I'm still consistent in my, practice. And that's important to me. Was missing two questions? That's still a past test, right? Yeah, I passed. So that was good. So I've got that. And, you know, you know, Ben had to do it too. And we're co-parenting in a way that I think that course actually helped us, too. It taught us a lot, but so did our co-parenting therapist, our counselor. And the kids are the main priority.
Starting point is 00:26:51 What if you don't take the test? Do they make you get back together? Like the law says you have to do it. But if you don't, They're like, well, looks like you've got to be married still. Well, so even once you file, there's like a 90 day. Like, nothing can really happen even for 90 days because they want you to cool down. Yeah. So to make sure nobody's filing out of any sort of, you know, angst or anger or anything. And I wonder how many people that 90 days actually works for them to.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, I'm sure a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I bet. Can you imagine if you did it? Instant. Somebody just gets a restart. Yeah. Be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll take a divorce, please.
Starting point is 00:27:26 and I'll take some guac and then all of a sudden, boop, okay, you're divorced, head out. That'd be all the time. What I don't understand though is like when we had kids, you know, when we were just like parenting to begin with, we didn't have to take a test.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Like we should take a test when we just have the first kid, not just divorce tests. They should lock up our private parts and they can't unlock until you take a test about having kids. Right. Well, so that's how I felt about the adoption process.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Like if I was able to get pregnant, which we had fertility stuff, so I wasn't. But if I had been, I would have just, voila, I had a baby. But adoption, no, I had to like all kinds of things, paperwork, this, that home studies. Because they can control that. I know. Right. And I get it. That's valid.
Starting point is 00:28:07 You can't just be handing out kids to people. Right. But it is a little, like sometimes it's just. We need voila. You have a baby. Take a test before you have it. Walla, again, you don't get the key to your private. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Until you pass the test. That's what it is. We're all wearing contraptions around our waist. Right. And then, you know, you don't have one on one day. Oh, you passed a test. Congratulations. Good for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I only got two wrong. They're all good on that front. Yeah. Just for anyone that's frustrated by the process of having to take a co-parenting or divorce course online, like mandatory, actually you can learn from it. So lean in. Ask questions. Want to be better because then you can be amicable.
Starting point is 00:28:47 There you go. Heard it from her. Maybe if your partner is. The more you know. I want to bring back on Roy in North Carolina. You may remember Roy, because Roy called us and said, there's an artist and I have meet and greets, and I really want to ask her out. Do you remember that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:04 We were all rooting for him. But we were like, you really got to be. It's a delicate situation. Roy is on right now. Roy, what's up, buddy? Good morning, Bobby, in studio. Oh, almost. He sounds happy.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got a little pep and his step. Roy, so what happened? Give us as much as you can give us. I wait in line for meeting greetings and all that. And then it was my turn to meet her and all that. And she saw my vest out of everybody that had mean greets. And nobody else had for two grannies.
Starting point is 00:29:36 And she was like, I'm here for it. I liked your vest and all that. And then finally I get to meet her. And I asked her, I said, hey, do you want to switch your vest? She was like, I was so down for it and all that stuff. And we switched to vest. Vests. He was wearing a vest.
Starting point is 00:29:49 He was wearing a vest. I said, yeah. I was like, hey, I was on Bobby Bonds talking about you. and I got something to give you. And it was just a note. And she was like, I can't take the note. But were you the one that was calling on the radio? Because my drummer said he heard it early in the morning one day last week.
Starting point is 00:30:05 I'm like, what? No way. And we just started busting out laughing and all that stuff. She thought it's hilarious and all that stuff. That being said, we never said her name. Oh, her name is for Philadelphia. No, no, no, no. No, we never said her name on the show.
Starting point is 00:30:18 So we just kind of left it generic. So he must have known it was her. The drummer must have put too. Yes. Yeah, based on the city and date and all that. So, well, you just said who it was. So it was Priscilla Block. And then she wouldn't take the note.
Starting point is 00:30:31 So where did you put the note? If I was smart enough, someone told me at the meet and greet. When she took my vest, I should have put my number in the vest. But I didn't think about that at the time. So I didn't give her the note. Did you do, as I suggested, and you went and found the manager or something that's with her, and went, hey, I'd like to take her out. So it didn't seem as weird?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Or did she just bail after the meeting greet? No, I mean, she was right next to her taking pictures and all that stuff, too. the manager was. These pictures of Priscilla performing in a vest. Was your vest yellow with stripes? Yeah, and that said block party on it. Yeah, I mean, she's wearing it in the pictures. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:31:05 That's like you give that to your best girl whenever you... Yeah. It's like a Letterman jacket. And she even told me she was like, yep, it looks like you're going to be stuck with a crop top vest now. I'm like, all right, sounds good. Do you still have the vest that she gave you? I sure do. So, and you guys never went out?
Starting point is 00:31:21 Nope, sadly. Lunchbox, what do you want to say? I mean, this dude, I mean, I don't understand why she couldn't take the note. Well, you don't take the note because I'll tell you why. First of all, you're in the middle of a bunch of people and you're signing stuff. You're taking pictures. You don't take stuff and hold stuff from people for the most part. And secondly, you don't take notes because it could be really creepy.
Starting point is 00:31:38 And so you're like, yeah, I can't take anything. Sometimes people leave some creepy crap. I tell you from experience. Now I'm not saying what he's doing is creepy a little bit. But that's not creepy. I've had some real creepers. And you didn't wait by the bus after the show? That's also creepy.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Okay? Have you slid into her? DMs? Like, what are you doing? I've been trying to catch her attention by commenting on her pictures and all that stuff, but I mean, the fish ain't Biden. How many comments? Oh, man. Yeah, you've been comment a lot? I mean, quite frequently.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Oh, no, you're overcoming. Quite too much. What's your name on Instagram? Me and L.N.C.U.S.K. All right. Keep coming. Slide in her DMs. Now, you're already known, so you can't play cool. So I would just go all out, buddy. But not all out in a creepy way. Don't stalk. her, I would just try for another week or so
Starting point is 00:32:25 commenting and messaging her and then give us a call back and let us know if she responds, okay? But send her a DM. Oh, I mean, all right, words of wisdom from Bobby this morning. Might as well. Send her a DM. Oh, hey. I'm not trying to find this dude on this. A voicemail from Taylor in Pittsburgh PA.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I'm a truck driver and I just delivered a load up here to New Hampshire and I have to say, geographically it is a place on the map and it does exist. However, I'm not convinced that it exists in our universe. Everybody there is way too nice.
Starting point is 00:32:58 The towns are way too peaceful. It doesn't seem like it's an actual place on Earth. But I was physically there. Can't confirm that it actually does exist in this universe. Just want to let you know. I listen to the podcast every day. You guys keep me going on the road. So appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Keep doing what you doing. I told you something's up. He's one of us. That is interesting. He got supposedly there. Yeah, physically there. Everything's perfect. So I'm telling you, people from New Hampshire either aren't real or they're the most
Starting point is 00:33:22 amazing people ever. Okay. sounds to me like they're not real and he was in some sort of virtual reality and doesn't know it. So you think when you pass the state line, it's like a somewhere else. If there even is a state line. New Hampshire sounds too perfect.
Starting point is 00:33:34 You guys are telling you. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Teachers have revealed the code words that they use when they're trying to tell parents that their kid might have like an issue, but they're trying to not really say the issue. So is it is it a word that
Starting point is 00:33:52 the parents know what the code is for? Or are they just trying, is it like a euphemism to make it not seem so bad? It's to make it not seem so bad, but they're hoping the parents catch on. And a teacher went viral on TikTok sharing it. And so many other teachers were commenting like, yes, this is 100% fact. So I guess parents pay attention. If your child is, oh, very social, it means they won't stop talking. I heard that before.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Me too. Very social. I don't think that was a good thing. That's what I thought. I thought. I'm social too. Yeah. I would not catch that code word.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Go ahead. Your child's excitement in the classroom is contagious. I would think that's positive. Me too. I know. It means your kid can't calm down. The parents not going to know this. This is not code.
Starting point is 00:34:35 You got to say your kid won't. Shut up. You can't do their excitement is contagious because that is very much a positive thing. What else? Your child is a natural born leader. I love that. That's good. How could that be bad?
Starting point is 00:34:48 Oh, they're super bossy. Oh, my God. I don't know. This is not good. Natural born leader is an amazing thing to be called. I get called that every day by you guys. What are you trying to tell me? You're bossy.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Yeah, behind the scenes. That's you guys is a code word. Hey, he's leading well today, everybody. Go ahead. Your son is going to be a great lawyer one day. He argues a lot. Or he's smart and can study and is able to retain knowledge. Well, Eddie's right.
Starting point is 00:35:15 It means your son won't stop arguing with me. Well, they need to stop this. I don't like it. No more tax dollars to whatever programs that those teachers are in. Because you've got to tell them for real if it's an issue. All right, go ahead. Okay, so Billy Joel, you may know. him from Uptown Girl.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Or Piano Man. Oh, yeah. I've seen Bill of Joe on concert three times. You're good? I saw Bill & Joe and Elton John, same concert. Dang, did they do dueling pianos? Well, sort of. They sang together.
Starting point is 00:35:42 That's cool. But they didn't do dueling pianos like at the bar. Oh, that's what I was feeling. Why do you bring him up? Well, so he loses thousands every night, and he does this on purpose, because he doesn't want anybody to have the front row seats so that during his show, he can send his people to the back back far rows and say, hey, what up? You've been upgraded to the front row. So it's about 20 to 30,000 bucks a night he loses. But the story with this is, he would get annoyed
Starting point is 00:36:08 at rich people up front. And he would look into the crowd and he would see people just like twiddling their thumbs or on their phones or just talking to each other because rich people get all the stuff all the time. They weren't excited to be there. So for his own mental health, because he would struggle with seeing people not having fun, so it would affect his show. He was like, don't sell the front row. I'm just going to take people at the top who I know saved up to come to the show and put him up there because they will be cheering and be into it. And in the end,
Starting point is 00:36:32 helps him perform better. Wow, that's crazy. It's really cool. So he loses money, but really, it's more of an investment back into him. So he feels better as he performs. But that's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Actually, I sell mine for double. Richer the better. You don't care if they're on their phone. I'm just kidding. Yeah, you do whatever you want. All right, go ahead. So there's a neighborhood in California that is just getting food delivered to it like crazy, Taco Bell, McDonald's, Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:36:57 These residents, they don't know where it's coming from. Uber Eats, just dropping all this food off. Yes. And they're trying to call the phone numbers that are on the receipts, but says it's out of service. The meals are prepaid. The tips are paid. And they're like, okay, this is just getting a little annoying.
Starting point is 00:37:14 And they don't really know what to do with all the food, but it keeps happening. Well, if it was you, you'd move. Yeah, yeah, you've done that. You moved. Free pizza and you moved. Yeah, pizza's show up at your house and you were like, I'm out of here. would die for free pizzas, Amy. The whole town has this been.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It's like an invasion of Uber Eats. So it's a joke? It's got to be somebody up to something either. Uber Eats the company. The owner of some, I want to say one single restaurant because it's multiple restaurants, but something's up and it's turned into a promotion for something. I don't know what it is. It's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And I wouldn't. And I wouldn't eat the food if it only came to my house. But if it's going to everybody's house, I'd rest of poisoning. because I don't think they're poisoning everybody. I haven't been targeted. I did not eat one single slice of pizza. You were targeted. I was.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah. Something. So you moved. Yes. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby. Damn it's something good.
Starting point is 00:38:12 She's almost 80 years old. Her name's Lou In and she washes dishes. She's got to do it because she's got to pay the bills. I mean, she'd love to retire because she is 80, but she can't. So she keeps working. And sometimes she does extra shifts, but sometimes she can't. can't make those shifts because a car breaks down. She's worried that her car will all the way die, then she will not be able to get to work at all. Well, this is what's happening, the people that
Starting point is 00:38:31 work with her lover. And so, one of the girls that she works with, Alicia created a crowd fund. And she didn't get on the internet and scream it, but she did go to people and, like, send the email to people in the neighborhood that she knew. There was a whole list. The fund started with the goal of raising a few thousand bucks that would cover rent, possibly a few other bills, and to fix the car. But after about a week, they had raised 16,000. thousand dollars wow so it's not enough to retire quite yet but it is enough to get the car fix and actually have a little money so that she can work and also not always stress about getting to work and so that was all just because somebody that worked with her was super cool and like hey
Starting point is 00:39:11 we're trying to help you out here at 80 years old that's amazing dang 16,000 bucks just buy some random I felt like I would owe them everything yeah you'd always have to be nice even if you had a bad day you'd be nice to them even if they made you mad at work you'd still have to be nice to them because they just raised 16,000 bucks. That's an awesome story. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win.
Starting point is 00:39:33 A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th.
