So I'm at the UPS store and there's a long line. About 10 people-ish. And this woman walks in and just goes straight to the front. Her entire... She worked there? She was like...

No. She was a customer. And I'm at this UPS store all the time. Was she in line already? No. Oh. But her vibe was, I started to think, like, did I miss something? Was she here?

And like someone was holding her place because her vibe when she walked in was like, I'm more important than all of you and here I go. And so she straight up goes to the front and acts like that. I am not the type of person to say anything. So I don't. But there's a man in line and he says something. Yes. And he called her out and he was like, ma'am, we have all these people in line.

I mean, but she ignored him and did her thing and got done what she. She needed to get done. She went ahead and did everything. Yeah, like, it did not phase her. Almost to where I started to think, like, is she delusional in living in her own world? But I was cringing for the guy. I cringed for her, but then I cringed for the guy that called her out because that's just not in my personality to do that. So it just got me curious, like, what y'all would do in that situation.

I'm not a big conflict guy unless it really needs it. Then I have no problem with it. I'm that whole integral. I'm an eight, which is a challenger, obviously. Yeah. but if somebody cuts line, that's the ultimate line. It's the ultimate sign of disrespect because you are saying that your time is more important than their time.

Now, it's different if somebody comes in and goes, hey, I got a kid out in the car. Would you mind if I cut? Or at the airport, I'm about to miss my flight. Well, go on through. I've been there. Come on through. And I'm always mad at people who don't let them through. That being said, if you're just a cutter, I hate you.

That's all. I hate you. Wow. Yeah, I hate you. That's absolute disrespect in you thinking you are better than other folks. and I will say something. Only two real reasons I'll say something. Cutting the line, people talking to the movies.

Because again, you think your time space is so much more important than everybody else is that you can ruin everybody else's experience because you've got something you want to say out loud. So I've thought I've been to get beat up a couple times in the movie. Shh! Hey, we're trying to watch a movie. And I'm all big shot.

And I'm like, I'm about to get beat up. Oh, God. But yeah, I would have said something. And I don't often go, I would have definitely said something. but for sure once we were at zara in the mall somebody cut in front of kately and i and that line is long it's long and it takes forever and we are in there and i don't even care if you have clothes and let's say kaitland are together and she has a bunch of clothes and she gets in line and puts them with my clothes and this is now one pile we're together i don't mind that it's my favorite thing

but i don't mind that and i'm not going to call you out for that because you're together but this person let like their friend get in line with them with a separate pile of clothes like yeah come on get in line with me no no no no I said hey that's same same ticket I don't know why I said that same ticket and they were all in the same bill and they didn't even answer me because they didn't know what I was talking and I was like yeah you guys there are you you guys together paying together and they're like no no I said well there's no cutting in line and then I heard a guy behind me go yeah he just back you up made me feel good because I thought in case that's about to get beat up by these

early 20 girls that he had my back and they were like oh sorry we didn't know and they walked back you knew and they knew they definitely knew

well I'm sad though that she got to go in and do all that well I don't it didn't really like affect my day that much it's like one person but I just when the guy called her out

I was like ooh I like that and it did nothing I did nothing I think she was delusional you know what I would have said something to I said it to the person UPS you said whoa whoa sir

she did cut in line no way oh I'm Amy There's only two times I'll do that. That is ultimate tattle. Okay. No. I'm standing up for everybody else in line with us.

Okay. Justice, American Way. That's my superpower. All right, let's go and open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My wife and I have a one-month-old child. We have decided it would be cheaper on us for her to stay home and take care of our daughter, daycare is so expensive. I've gotten a new job. I work 60 hours a week so she can take care of her kid, which I'm greatly appreciative of. But it seems when I come home, nothing is done. I understand that a baby's a lot to take care of

and it's a hard job, but is it a little too much to ask for for the house to be decently picked up? She's just sitting on the couch every day when I come home and when I ask her what she's done all day, she has trouble coming up with things. I know this sounds petty, but I work a manual blue-collar job, and I'm exhausted when I come home. What can I do?

Thank you for your advice. Sincerely, a tired husband. All right, lunchbox, I hear you over there making noises. Oh, man, I feel you. I feel you. Because my wife, oh, our house is so messy. Well, guess what you're doing all day? She stays at home with the kid.

Go ahead and clean. The kid's so hard. Well, you watch three episodes of Law & Order. I feel you. This guy, hey. I might as well wrote this email. Did you? Did that lunchbox?

I mean, except for minus the blue collar because you're not a tired husband. And you don't work 60 hours a week, though. I mean, because I tell you what, I just don't understand how the house is so messy. What you got all day? Why are you yelling? We weren't saying for a lot of day. I mean, this was like speaking to me.

Why? Well, what does she say if you say that to her? Oh, it's just the baby was fussy and it's so hard with a baby around. Do you believe her? Some days, but not every day. If baby ain't fussy every day, guess what? Baby take a nap. Baby take two nap.

Baby take three nap. You know what I mean? Like, what would you tell him then? I tell him, look, man, you tell her, hey, I understand it's hard with the baby. But guess what? You want to trade positions? I guarantee you the house would be cleaner if I was home. You go work 60 hours a week.

See how tired you are. So that's what you say to your wife. And has it, have you fixed it? Man, some days. Some days he's like, yo, dish is still here. Can you imagine living with lunchbox? He's the dirtiest person we know. Yeah, he's pretty dirty.

So, okay, you have only fixed it somewhat. Somewhat. It's almost impossible because they'll use that baby excuse for the rest of your life. That's what they'll throw. Oh, well, you take care of a baby. Yeah, guess what? When the baby gets a little older, she'll be sipping margaritas by the pool. And they say, oh, so I couldn't clean because the baby, you know, wanted to go swimming.

Oh, so busy. Yeah, very emotional right now. Man. Okay, so you're fine. Okay, so your final advice to him is what? Just stay on her. Stay on her. And just know that that baby's going to get thrown in your face all done.

Okay. Okay, we'll go there. So your advice is stay on her. Amy. No, nothing that Lunchbox has said. I'd say have a little compassion and grace and understanding. I don't know the dynamics of their relationship. But I don't know if the baby cries in the middle of the night.

Who's getting up? Like, is she getting adequate rest? Does she have different hormones running through her body? because she's a new mom. Like there's all kinds of things that could be going on and you need to check in with her and comfort her.

What if she's got some real stuff going on and it's like, sorry the last thing I want to do is clean up after you. That's what I would say. Eddie? I would find a nicer way to say, stay on her.

I think what he's saying is true, you know? I mean, that is part of the duties of staying home. Stop. It is. I don't want to sound old-fashioned. Why can't you go home and help?

Because they both do. They sound so. I can't even listen to them talk right now. Okay, but let's listen. Go ahead. Eddie, it's your turn to talk. The only reason I say is because recently we have gone through this where we had to change roles a little bit. My wife is now working full time. So guess what? I get home around 2 o'clock and I've got to pick up the slack. And you're not

home at 2. You're still here at 2. Not most days. Go ahead. Some days. So I understand what it's like to not get help or to stay home all day and do all the job while I'm working. So I understand his frustration that he gets home. He's been working all day. and it's dirty still. What should he do?

He needs to talk to her. And say what? And say exactly how he's feeling. I just got to say exactly what he's feeling. And she says you don't know what it's like to have to, it's a baby. And I would say if I didn't have to work for nine hours a day or whatever, it was this blue collar, strenuous job, I would help you. I would try my best. And he can't pitch in and do one thing here and here and there.

But for the most part, he's got to tell her, I'm really tired. I need you to pick up the slack. Amy, final thoughts? I just, I do think couples need to meet each other where they are. And I think there's a certain percentage of, of, like, hey, what can you bring to the table today to where we can, like, get this done. But we're getting Cliff's Notes version here in this email. And without knowing really what's going on with her, I just feel bad saying a blanket statement of like,

you need a really bitch in around here. Like, I would sit down with her and be like, hey, clearly something's going on. And there's some, maybe there's some big feelings here. How can we unpack this? And how can we come up with a solution and work together to come up with a plan? Yeah, I think you both should need to write the chores down and split them. There we go. No, no, no.

No, split. Split. That's it. Maybe not 50-50, but split. No, no, 50-50. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's it. This whole, this is just part of the deal.

You'd be in a stay-at-home mom. No, she's, uh-oh. Okay. Thank you all for your input. We're split. To the emailer, good luck. Yeah, good luck. Thank you for email on the show.

Close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close. Bobby's mail back. Yeah. Amy, what did you see? Well, so I was in line at the grocery store and the guy ahead of me was just in a bad mood. Like he just was frustrated, grumpy.

You could tell he wasn't hiding it from anybody. And what I saw was the cashier just speak into him and offer him like therapeutic advice. And she just said, you know what? Well, what was happening with the guy? I have no idea. I'm assuming it was a guy, all grumps. It was a man. He was older. He just clearly was having a bad day and was very frustrated and he was grumpy and he was just irritated and he's like no that's not mine this is like he's just rude it was it it sounds like it that impression sounded like lunchbox no it wasn't but she spoke into him and i was like oh look at her she has an opportunity to encounter so many people every day when she's checking them out at the grocery store and i i googled what she said right away because i was like is that is that a famous

quote and then i wrote it down and she said to him straight up i hope your day gets better and remember every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. And so she was encouraging him to find the good in the day because clearly he could not see anything positive around him. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's originally from Alice Morris Earl. And she's from the late 1800s or something. Classic. I used to love it.

I know. So remember, every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. Did the guy accept it? Was he like, oh, cool. I think he was like sort of caught off guard. I think what I heard was. was he walked and did one of those hill clicks to the side? He was like, that's great news.

I'm happy. And he had a wonderful day. I hope it resonated. And then when he got into his car, he was like, oh, you know what? I don't need to, like, be rude to people and I need to look for the good. And even if you are having a bad day, it doesn't give you the right to just, you know, be rude to people at the grocery store. And you could hear that and go, well, that's a corny saying.

Because, you know what? It is corny, but it's lovely. And sometimes we just need to be reminded. We already know that, right? We know that. We're told, fine. But sometimes it's just good to hear it and be reminded, even if it is corny. And go, yeah, yeah, yeah, my focus is off.

I should find something good. I should have gratitude for something when normally I don't. Heck, I don't. Some days I go like 20 years. Oh, for sure, yeah. Not you're not going to say a day. Nope. Okay, they'll go 20 years.

And I'll just be like, dang it, all these things did not go my way. Either I was born into it or I created it. But there's so many things that we. We don't appreciate because they happen for us in a positive way. We almost just assume they should happen instead of appreciating that they do. It's like judging someone's intentions and actions. We judge other people on actions. We judge ourselves on intentions.

And that ain't quite fair. That ain't quite fair how we judge others by actions and us intentions. We know, well, I'm meant to do it. I felt this way. So I'm going to give myself a pass. But we don't judge other people like that. We're like, what did they do? So just a little check-in.

I think that's a good. I liked it. I liked it, too. I liked that it was from. you know, cashier to customer, and I wonder how many people she's impacted, because clearly she's someone that cares about her job and her interactions with other humans. And I just thought it was a special moment. And I have gratitude for being able to witness it and also having that reminder for myself, not to ignore, like, if I'm having a bad day, but how to manage it and

find something positive somewhere, not like in a toxic positivity type way by any means, but it's just a good reminder. Yeah, and I can't wait to use it customer to cashier and see how to how that floats. Oh, right back in them. Because sometimes they're a little sour that they're days long. Yeah. I've been there.

I used to work a hobby lobby. People pull up. They got return. I don't want this. Ah, you already beeped at? Oh, no. It's not the right color. And I'm like, what's wrong?

Could you just shop? Could you just do it? And then, no, you know what? They were probably just having a colorblind day like myself. That's right. All right. So, good story, Amy.

I appreciate that. And I think we'll just, we'll split from there. Everybody take a breath. Lunchbox, when you hear that, how does that make you feel? Because I feel like, I think you're a nice guy. I think you're obnoxious, but people will ask because he really liked that on the off the air. And the answer is yes, but I think we see just a big version of that because you're performing a little bit.

When she says that, what do you think? Annoyance. I'm like, I don't need your advice. Like, just let me get my groceries and get out of here. Like, you don't need to preach to me about the world and what's going on in the world and how the world's a better place and it's a good place to be here. And I can find something good in every day. You don't need to be reminded to that at all? No, I don't need to.

I don't need you to be a philosophy major. I was going to say a big philosopher, but I didn't know one. Socrates. Oh, that's the one. Descartes. Who? Aristotle. Plato.

Mark Twain. Wow. There's a mean, a lot of them. Yeah, you could use anything. Yeah, I just don't need any of those. I don't need quotes from the 1800s. You don't want inspiration from anywhere. Just say, hey, your totals this.

Do you want paper or plastic? Let's move all my life. There you have it. Some people are like lunchbox. Yeah. Which is fine. Different strokes for different folks. That's what I say.

Do you say that? or I said that and you liked it? That one? I think someone else started that, guys. All right. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good.

So up near D.C., there's a woman named Maybill who just celebrated her 82nd birthday. And then after that, the day after her birthday, she walked across the stage to graduate for the University of Maryland Global Campus. She got her bachelor's degree in business management. She's going to use that degree in her event planning business, which, by the way, she's been running since 1994.

She is a retired nurse. She's been recognized multiple times for her involvement in her community. In 2012, she was awarded the Howard County Lifetime Achievement Award. And then I can just go down to all the awards she's been given. And now that she has her degree, she says the sky is the limit. And she also wants to be an example to others to just do what you want to do. Don't let age hold you back. Don't let anything hold you back.

Here's a clip of Maybel saying what her mantra is. I feel excited. I feel accomplished. And I just feel that. I have followed my dream and one of my mantras is it's never too late to follow your dream I love it

one of her mantra she has many mantras I mean she's 82nd walking across a graduation stage I just want to be 82 and walking right just walking just walking that's an awesome story Maybel that is amazing and that is what it's all about

A cartoon character, I don't get a year from that one. It's a very famous saying in line. It was so famous. I had a T-shirt, and it had this character on it, and there was a bubble, and it said, Eat My Shorts, and you would have thought, I was saying curse words in church. They were like, I can't believe you have that shirt on.

Really? Oh, yeah. Morgan? South Park. No, and we're looking for the exact character. Eddie? You're looking for the character? Yeah.

That's Bart Simpson. Bart Simpson. I'm Bart Simpson. Who are you? Come on, man. That means with a 3 to score Our older, elder, Eddie winning. Nice job, Eddie.

Thank you, man. I thought we'd get that wizard the way every place out of the way from it. The bad thing, though, is now that's going to be gone. It's like, you won't use that one again. You never know. You can still give it a try. You never know. What's my number one pet peeve, Amy?

Being late. Yeah. If you have to be late occasionally because something happens, I understand that. Sometimes life happens. However, if you're late and it's just because you didn't put in the effort or you did it, that's on you. And that means you think your time is more valuable than everybody else is in this room. We have a rule on this show. If you're one minute late, you might as well not come to work because, well, Eddie, you think you're more important than Ray?

He got here on time. No, I don't. Right. Yeah. And you know what? Nobody's been late in like two years. However, occasionally someone will go, hey, Eddie, go, hey, my kids got an issue, got to school. They'll tell me that like two hours before.

I'm like, great. If you're a little late, that's okay. Two hours, I can't lie about that yet. So, I don't like late. If somebody's having a party, for example, Amy said parties at her house. And she's like, all coming over. We'll start at seven. What time do I get there?

Early. Like? Before seven. Oh, yeah, that's true. That's true. And then it's awkward. You're the first one there. And then he just sits there.

You don't even help. Well, I don't want to be late, you know? So I go out, I go out, like, there's nobody here. And Amy's like in a robe. Hey, I'm here. And so I can also leave earlier too. But also like going to an event with you. I've been, we were going to something for work one time.

And I ended up riding with you. And you were there so early that we, I just asked you if we could please just go drive somewhere and park for a second before we pulled up. Because there was no reason for us to get there early. It would have been awkward because it was like fancy and we were already out of place. So it was like, can we just go wait? Yeah, we parked down the road. Yeah, we parked for him.

It was weird. I just talked. What y'all talk about? Well, I don't even remember. I don't like being late probably. I just remember being like, let's go park somewhere really quick because this is weird. So how late should you be to a party? That's the question.

Okay. If the parties at seven, Amy, what time do you get there? 7.15. That's okay. Eddie? 7.30. Oh, that's too late. Lunch box?

720. Well, if the parties at 7, you should get there at 738. What? 38 minutes. It says, you won't be the first one there? and that's good, but you won't come in awkwardly after things are really rolling. So it's the 38 minute theory.

I like the five-minute early theory. The awkwardness. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that one. Something else I wanted to mention, I was looking at my window yesterday, and I saw a cardinal fly over and land on like the pole. Red one? Well, yeah, I mean, aren't they?

They're red and brown. Well, I saw a cardinal, and I said, well, I wonder if that's Amy's mom. Yeah. You thought that? I don't think her mom's in a cardinal, but I did go, well, because Amy thinks her mom,

who's not with us anymore, is in a cardinal, a bird. So... I don't know that I really think she's in the bird, but it is like, yes. Whenever I see a cardinal, I say, hey, mom. Stuff like that. Oh, man.

And so I was driving, and a cardinal landed, like, I don't know, down... There's a two-lane road opposite traffic, and the car coming the opposite way, hit a cardinal, and it died. No. I didn't want to make... I don't even want to say.

Did you go, bye, Mom. I know. But it was, it was like, oh, okay, well, rest in peace, cardinal, aka mom. Did you think that was a chance your mom was that cardinal? No. Not that one. Not that one. But I wonder, I feel like my dad has shown up as a Blue Jay and they're just like sometimes

a Cardinal and a Blue Jay show up and it's like, oh wow, you know, my parents were divorced, but I'm like, look at them now, you know, like hanging out. You know the other day a Blue Jay ran into my window and I don't know if it made it. At my house. Are like crows or uncles? Like is every bird? No, they don't. Who's a buzzard?

Well, actually, crows are quite smart. They get a bad reputation. No, no one said they weren't. No, no one said they weren't. Yeah. But like... I just think it's funny. She says, well, look at these two birds.

They're back together. Well, no. It's just a thought. But you, when I said that you looked at me like I was crazy town. Because you went, my mom and dad are back together. The good friend. Two birds. It's just a thought.

But anyway, the Cardinal died right in front of my face. and I didn't know if that's like a warning, trying to tell me something, like, be on guard. It's watch out for Cardinals when you're driving because you might smash into one. That's the warning. That's the warning. And you could wreck, okay?

I'm going to play a little love song for the Cardinal and the Blue Jay that Amy saw in her yard. This is a voicemail from Lauren in North Carolina. Remind Lunchbox that a lot of major actors started in very small roles before they became big actors. So he shouldn't be so selective on the roles that he chooses, a lot of big actors actually did indie movies before they got major motion pictures. So just something to think about.

Yeah, Lunchbox turned down a role in a little movie, a little spaghetti Western, because he didn't want to go to Chilicothe, Ohio. Well, guys, it wasn't me. My agent said it wasn't best for my career, so yes, you're right. We have to be selective when you're getting a movie role. You want to make sure it's the right part for you. I feel like sometimes on this show doing the old Zach Morris, timeout, and then just like talking to our audience. Like, hey guys, lunchbox doesn't have an agent. It's really him.

It's really him. Time in. You know, because he would pause everything. You'd be like, Morgan, you ever see Zach Morris pause? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's like sometimes you guys are talking and I'm like, well, this is obviously bull crap. Time out.

Here's Joni from Pittsburgh. I just want an update from Amy on the Greenlight meeting for her sister's show, building roots. I want to know if they had the meeting yet, and do we get to look forward to a second season? Any update Amy? No updates. I don't know that the green light meeting has happened. I thought it was in a couple weeks, but it might be in the month of June,

so maybe we'll know more then. Okay, thank you for that. Amy's sister has a show on HGTV called Building Roots. And if you're ever flipping through and you see Amy, no, that's her sister. Oh, yes. They look that much alike. Multiple people DME, they're like, it's so crazy.

There's this girl on HGTV. She looks just like you, and I love her flying. Yeah, that's my sister. Finally, here's Christy from Virginia. Question. Do we think Eddie's sadness comes from The crying doll being burned in his fire pit. Just a thought.

Have a good day. Eddie has been down to the point where he's like, guys, I'm just sad. And, you know, we're organizing some therapy for him, like all seriousness. And I think you have the right to feel that way. No, you just generally anybody. Sure. There are times where you feel this way. And when you do, you try to find that rope to pull yourself out.

Sometimes it's a quick rope. Sometimes it's not. But as long as you're pulling, you're working. That's all you can ask for. Now we've got a new ring. here, the haunted doll, do you think it could be bringing sadness? Because if you remember, when Lunchbox put it in his house,

his wife was like, I just feel sad. Yeah, I do remember that. And I put all the blame on kind of just the chaotic environment in my house. I feel like all day is just a struggle, all day. But man, I wasn't really feeling sad before he burned the doll at my house. And I wouldn't think it was just a doll, but

his wife also felt like this heavy sadness when the doll was in her house. Well, because the doll had a tear in its eye, which is like part of its, I guess, spell or whatever. So I don't believe in that crap. I really don't. But the coincidence is crazy. So thank you. By the way, if you want to have a question for us and you can't get through, call our voicemail line 877-77 Bobby. Easy peasy. Here's Amy's pile of stories. A guy in California built a remote control air horn to blast

every time his neighbor's dog barks. And here's a clip of it in action. Dog zapper 2000. You have a look. Well, the dog feels like he's got a buddy, right? So the dog's talking back. It's, you know what? I don't hate that. I would, this is me thinking out loud,

I'm thinking on the spot here. I think the dog gets 10 to 12 free barks a day or an hour because it's a dog, right? And then once they hit that threshold horn away, because that's the neighbor needing to know that that's annoying and I'm going to pay you back with annoyance. Right. Like dog is going to dog and a dog is going to bark some

and that's okay. But I think that's hilarious. I thought it was going to be meaner than that. Oh, so you think it's clever? Yeah, I like it. Oh, I feel like it's cruel to all the other neighbors that have to hear the air horn.

The neighbors fall with the dog. Calm your dog down. Because, yes, a dog can bark and it should get a few free barks. I feel like the horn's just making the dog bark more. It is, and it still goes back to the neighbor. For sure, the dog's barking back. He's like, huh.

What up, horn? Huh. Let me do! All right, what else? So the top causes of food-borne illness have been put out by Huffington Post because Memorial Day is coming up, a lot of summer barbecues. And the top reason is your friends. No, your friends. Don't wash their hands.

Exactly. Germs from your friends. This is the number one they call risky behavior. If your friends don't wash their hands properly or sanitize them frequently, then boom, you're asking for a food board illness. Well, I'm asking for it because no these knuckleheads wash their hands. I try to remember to watch my hands. Sometimes. Yeah, lunchbox never even fakes it.

At least I had my arm for that. I saw lunchbox yesterday just get the napkin and not wash his hands at all. He gives it a dry run. That's called a dry rub. Yeah. What else, Amy? Another thing to look out for is food being left out in the sun too long because food that is supposed to be kept hot should be kept hot.

Food that's supposed to be kept cold. So don't leave it sitting out. And I'm like, I'm the worst at this. I call it sun cooking. I leave food out all the time. You can brew tea in the sun, you can't brew a little piece of meat. But they say that's just like, you know, you're gambling with it there. and then meat that's undercooked

should never touch any other contaminate things. Like have a designated countertop space for that. If you use a fork utensil for the raw meat, once the meat is cooked, don't use that fork again to pick up the meat. Yeah, I don't do that. I forget sometimes.

I forget which one's which and I just reassign it. I'm like, yes, that's the one that touched the meat. Okay, well, do not do that. And then Carly Pierce is sharing that she was bullied quite a bit in high school. She even had two really mean nicknames, Shrek and Heifer. And she says,

it. She's able to laugh about it now because the same girls that used to pick on her now show up at her shows wearing her merch and some of them have even paid for meet and greets. Okay. So that's how you get back at your bully become a country star? You sing. You have a great time. I don't know.

I don't know. Is anything ever positive happened to her? Like I don't ever hear her being like, this stuff rocks. It's always like a dude did me wrong. A bully bullied me. And listen, that comes for me. And so I'd say in a lot. But yeah, she makes good songs though. So maybe we need her to keep having bad days. I don't know.

Currently on tour with Kenny Chesney, and she was inducted into the grand al-opry last year. Okay, there you get. Well, happy stuff happening. There you go. I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home there's something good.

11-year-old Carter Dorley, he's a surfer from New Jersey, right? And he loves to surf. Well, during the pandemic, he was super bored. He said, I'm just going to surf every day. see what happens. He's been surfing every single day, and he is up to 750 days of straight surfing. And he wants to get to 1,000 because people now that are watching him do this, they're starting to raise money for charities.

Every day he surfs more and more, he's raising money for surf aids, save the children, local animal rescue, and a local food pantry. He's like, hey, I'm going to hit 1,000 days of straight surfing, bruh. What's his name? Carter. Okay, Carter, if you're listening, don't forget your homework. Sounds like maybe you could be neglecting your schoolwork. He probably does the homework and then go serve, bro.

Cool, bro. Okay, so good. Other than that, that's awesome. Yeah. He's an 11-year-old who's found something that he loves. I have suggested to my wife that I get on Twitch and play video games and raise money for charity all the time. And what does she say? She's like, you can just donate.

She's like Carter. Do your homework. I said, what if I got on and said, hey, we're raising money for an animal shelter and I'm going to play NBA 2K until we're. She's like, that's interesting. Or we could just donate and you can hang out with our dogs. Yeah, it'd be super cute if you were 11. That's funny. But you're 42.

But I think I'll probably do something like that at some point. And I was only using it to play more video games. I'll be honest with you. Right, right, right. Wasn't even about the charity. Let's be real, Conner's probably liking to surf every day too. Hey, but good for him. He's found the way.

He's able to give back. And he's 11. What you guys didn't see is every time Eddie would say the word surfer, he would do the hang loose hands in the studio. That's right. That's right, bra. It just kind of happens, you know, when you talk about surfing or hanging loose.
