That was awesome. I got really high pitch. Yeah, go ahead. Okay, look, my family, I don't know, I think they're turning on me. For years, I just don't understand Christmas cards. You know, the ones the family takes in front of a tree or at the beach or whatever. What do you not understand? Well, you get them and then you just say, oh, that's cute and you throw them away.

Yeah, what's the point of them? Okay, I got it. I've never done that. And I think they're kind of cringy in a way. And then you turn it around in the back and they're like, oh, you know, Jimmy had a great year. He made a lot of money. Sally got accepted to Yale University. Why does it show you Sally so much of the name?

I don't know. Go ahead. So I don't like them. But then now my 14-year-old, he comes home and says, hey, mom, dad, like a lot of my friends are doing Christmas cards. Why don't we ever do Christmas cards? Oh, boy. And I said, we just don't do them.

I'd like to do it this year. I'm like, I don't want to be grinch and everything, but I kind of told him like, I don't think we're going to do them, ever. You know your kid wants to? Yeah. I mean, it's a lot of work. Okay, sure, it's a picture. This is what I would say.

I know you're like, why would we do them? Why do you post on Instagram? Just for real. To show off. To share my life with people? It's the same thing just for older people. The Christmas card is the original Instagram. Oh, that's a good point.

So they just mailed them. They mailed their holiday Instagram post. Yeah, it's like life is so great. Look at it. How amazing it is. Because you'll put, we post something on Instagram. Look at us. We're Christmasy.

It's that. So look at it as a more expensive holiday Instagram. So what if I tell them like, hey, check it out. I'll compromise. I'll take a picture of me in front of the Christmas tree and I'll send it out to all my friends. No, take a family photo But they want to be in something

And you never let them be in something Yeah, they're not going to be on my Instagram Right, so, be in a Christmas car I say do the Christmas card No, there's no way If I do this. And you get them so much cheaper now too If you just go to Walgreens or whatever

And put them off You have to mail them too I mean, what's that? Forty five cents a letter? Eddie, how many people do you know? You have to gather everybody's addresses And it's too much You did send out an email

You know what I told them? I don't even have a family Like my wife and I, we don't have like kids And I'm the one that's like Yeah, pro Christmas card All you guys are all Do you do Christmas cards? No.

Me? No. You know. No. Same as you. I'm like, same as you. I don't get it. Bobby?

No, but we post on Instagram. Right. You don't do Christmas cards. But when we have kids, we will. That's crazy. You will? You're crazy. I'm sure I'm sure she'll want to.

So I'm down. Whatever. I think you should do it, Eddie. You know what I told them? When you have your own family, you can do Christmas cards. Oh. So, all right. Up next.

Lunchbox, sit there. I got a package in the mail the other day, and I need to know if I should just throw it away or track down the owner because it has the same address as me, except for I live on street, and this is Avenue. And it's a 20-minute drive across town to this person's place. It's like Sweet 1A. So John Doe Street versus John Doe Avenue. Yes. And so I'm like, oh my gosh, is this an important package? So I opened it.

And it's just a computer cord. It's against a law. Oh, you can't do that. It's a computer cord that's 35. You could always just go, I thought it was mine. Well, yeah, that's what I did. That's what I'm going to do if anything happens. I thought it was mine. I opened it up my brother's. Oh, I didn't order this. Who's this too? Oh, goes that. John Doe. So I'm like, do I need to trek over across town and find this person and trying to knock on Sweet 1A?

Or do I just throw it away? Is it a business or a person? It's a person. Why don't you just message them on, I'm sure everybody's on Facebook or has an Instagram. I just message them, say, hey, I'm getting a lot of your mail. I thought this was in mine. I have a computer cord. If you want it. obviously here's my address I could do that because I do get some for a business that's so I'm street this one's Avenue another one I guess is Lane the business so the business I call and they'll come

get it off my porch but this is an individual and I'm like you can also give it back to the mailman and say we do this a lot too because we get mail from other people and we just put it up and go hey this is not ours it was delivered and they take it and deliver it to the right place oh well it's already open yeah yeah I hear you but for now on that's all I do

I just didn't know if like, it's like a computer cord. I'm like, all right, just buy a new one, right? I'd probably call him it as a human. Wouldn't you want it if it was yours? Yes, absolutely. If it was something better, though, would he? He'd probably keep it and be like, I don't know. That was mine.

Didn't realize, man. I thought it was my Amazon gift card. All right, here she was Amy, everybody. So I saw this article the other day that said if you're in a rut or an emotional rut, it gave you a list of all these different things you can do to try to get out of it. One of the things on that list was to clean out your closet and make a donation. pile if there are things that you can donate. So I decided to try that.

I was in a little bit of a rut. So I set a 20 minute timer on my phone and I spent that 20 minutes in my closet going through and taking inventory, cleaning it up, making it look good. I made a little donation pile. And when I emerged from my closet, I did feel better. So I just thought, passed that tip along to people.

It doesn't have to be an all-day affair because sometimes that can get overwhelming. But just set a timer, get in there and do it. If you came to my closet, you'd really get out of that rut. Oh, yeah. Oh. Come clean out my closet. Yeah, I like doing that.

What about garages. I'd get you out of a big garage. Yeah. No, I'm not starting with business. No, that'd be like pure bliss. You want to clean my garage. Yeah. But you're good at cleaning out your closet.

You donate to these guys. Yeah, but I consistently go. I don't ever go in and have to go, all right, time for a... So about twice a year, I go in. With a big box from Home Depot, they're the tall clothes boxes. You ever see those? Yeah. For closets.

Oh, yeah. And then twice a year, do, do, do do do do, do it up. Donate it up. Or, now, now, Eddie and Mike, especially if it's clothes for like TV that I'm not going to wear again, I give them to them. That's my favorite time of year. Or suits. Yeah, Eddie comes.

These are like March and he starts singing, it's the most. And I'm like, dude, that's almost for Christmas. He goes, no, it's not. It's almost time to go into Bobby's closet. Spring cleaning time. That's right. All right. So for an emotional rut, clean your.

Clean your closet and donate. And make a donation pile. All right. Ray, what do you got? From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a great guy. and he's been very supportive of Eddie's eye, Bobby Bones. That's right.

Hey, I was here for you. I said, you still should go to the awards, even though your eye look like you've been beat up four different times. You were definitely on my eyes team. And I said, well, I'll wear sunglasses. Yes, thank you for that. And we did. So, yes, thank you, Ray. Support my eye.

I know. I'm going to say something without saying something because I can't officially say it yet. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. But I believe on Monday, on Peacock, something starts to air. that was airing my last show. Hmm. If, oh.

Can we each say something that will patch it together? Well, I think everybody knows now, right? No, some people might not know. Oh, the Peacock. No, Peacock. On the Peacock Network. Peacock. The streaming service.

Yeah. Oh, got it. I got it now. I thought you had a new show coming out. No, no. It's the show. Oh, yeah. The peacock. I got it.

It's finally. Don't say too much. Don't say too much. I'm not. But supposedly Monday or Sunday, all the episodes will start being able to stream. That's awesome. Well, how did you guess not? I got it.

I know you did. I just don't know that some listeners will get it. Maybe they have never heard of it because they're new and they need to know the name. Well, all I'm going to say is I can tell you on Monday, but if you already do know, then you know. Okay. But a little birdie has told me that my show could start to be on Peacock starting Monday of next week. All episodes. That show, who knows what it is.

I already feel like I know too much. You know everything now This show Feels kind of cool to be on the inside No it's not that inside All the listeners are on the inside Very cool Okay we're gonna get started

Thank you guys for being here It's time to 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 son wants to be a YouTuber His idol is Mr. Beast

He's been working so hard building his channel He's 22 videos in He has two subscribers in He has two subscribers. I love CNN uses creativity to record, edit, and upload video, so I encourage him. But my husband wants him to dedicate more time to football and stop YouTube. He made eighth grade B team, and my husband thinks, with more time and dedication, he can get to the A team. My husband doesn't think YouTuber is a career, but a hobby.

So I know he enjoys football, but I think his dream right now is to be a YouTuber. He's 14. I want him to do what makes him happy. What advice would you have on encouraging my son? son to pursue his dream and getting my husband on board as well. Signed, mom of the next Mr. Beast, aka Mom Beast. Cute. It doesn't sound like he wants to play football.

And to think that the dad thinks there's better chance of him playing football than being a YouTuber is weird to me. Well, I don't know that the dad says NFL. I think the dad probably just wants him to play football. Yeah, but you need to remind the dad, if you don't think there's a career in YouTube, there's also not a career football. Let's focus on what could be a career, right? Yeah. Well, here's what I'm going to say. I think if your son wanted to play football and then

wanted to quit. That's a different story because I think he completes what he starts. I think that's a parenting lesson. Yes. That's just a lesson in general. If you agree to do something, you have to finish what you agree to do or there will be repercussions. It could be contractually now as an adult. I have those. Eddie, with your kids, I'm sure you have those with them. Absolutely. I think if your husband convinced or heavily encourage your son to play football, even though your son was hesitant, really didn't want to, that's a whole different story. It sounds like that probably is what happened. So I do have sympathy for your son because he was kind of told to play football and he played football and doesn't love it as much. What I would do, I think, is because your son did agree to play, even though he wasn't the one that fully went after it, I think I would have a talk with him and say, look, just finish this season and then I will go to bat with you with dad.

And if you don't want to play next year, you don't have to. Yeah, that's good. Keep doing YouTube, play football, put in the work, put in practice. and at the end of the season we'll have this conversation and if you don't want to play next year that's absolutely fine. I'm sorry you're in this place

and I understand it. I'm sympathetic for what's going on but we have to make you dad happy right now but if we can just finish this I will take care of you from this point on. Also to the mom, he's got 22 videos and two subscribers that's fine.

He can have 500 videos and two subscribers that's fine. You know, is he learning as he's doing it? Does he love doing it and is he getting better from what he's learned? And if so, that's as good as a subscriber right now. It just takes one real video to pop. And then if you have other good content

up there, it then gets found. So let them keep creating. Hey, and let me tell you, as a video editor myself, starting that young, that could be a really good career for him. What about a somebody who just had a video go viral? That's me again. Dude, this career could be something really awesome for him. What about somebody who makes a lot, a good amount of money off making personal videos on Instagram? That's me again. And that's what I'm saying. This could be a great career for this kid. Yeah. So tell your son to play football, really put his heart and soul into it.

There's not a lot of time left in the football season. But then if he doesn't want to next season, you will have that conversation. You'll go to your husband and have that uncomfortable talk if he'll just finish this for now. And let him keep doing his YouTube and he loves it. And great, that's awesome. Should she have a conversation with her husband about it? Not yet.

Yeah. Not yet. No, just finish it. There's no need. Football scene's almost over anyway. Let him finish football. And then once it's over, I think then there's that time. You don't want to have the uncomfortable

conversation during this season. Because nothing's going to change except somebody's going to be in a poo-poo mood, which is him. It will happen, just not right now. Timing is everything. You know what I mean? That's what I'm saying. You got it though. Good luck. Tell him good luck. We're proud of him. Keep putting the work in. And that's what's all about and that's tell me something good except it's a mailbag.

That's right. Close it up there. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. A topic of discussion the past few weeks has been Lunchbox's house. There's a storm in June of this year. Trees fell on the roof, three big holes in the roof. And Lunchbox did not go to insurance.

Instead, he went to Amy's sister who has a TV show about building houses and said, I want you to come to my house. They never came. They still hasn't fixed the holes. So what's it look like right now? We got tarps on the roof. And when you walk in the kitchen, there's a hole. Over the table, there's a hole.

And in the front room, there's a hole. Any water coming through? The big one when it rains, there's a little bit. You put a trash in there. It catches it, though. And the reason you haven't fixed it is? Because we were going to be on reality TV. HGTV, this show called...

You weren't going to be on. They were just talking with you. No, the producers said, I was an A. You would... Okay, no mind. Go ahead, real quick. Say, say what you guys are. He would...

Yeah, they didn't say he was going to be an A. They said, we could potentially feature you as the main storyline. But you didn't hear that. You heard... No, no, they literally told me, oh, oh, you would be the A It would be a B. Yeah. But you also were going to have to get out a loan to pay for it,

but they never asked you to do that, so you knew it wasn't far long. No, no, they never said to get the financing, but I figured we were still in the process, but then I never heard from them, and here we are now. What ain't happening? I guess it's not happening. So you have decided.

I have decided I would apply for other remodeling shows on HGTV, because they have a lot of them. There's all different variety of shows. And I thought, oh, man, there's other ones out there. Building Roots isn't the only one. There's better ones than that. Guarantee you that. All of them are better than that. Network about it. And so I'll go

to them and see what I can get. Okay, so what is this audio that I have here? So, you guys keep telling me I'm a bad dad, I'm a bad husband. No, we've never said you're a bad dad. Or a bad husband. Will you tell me I am? We say it's crazy you haven't fixed the holes. Yes, okay. So I went to my wife since I'm giving up. But does everybody hear how that just

went from fix the holes to your bad dad? The same with the producer going, hey, we could possibly feature you on the show as an A. I'm on the show as an A and they fired me. They promised me a lifetime. We definitely got an inside look of how his brain works. They fired me. So I decided I'm going to apply for other reality shows to fix our roof and remodel our house. So I went to my wife because you guys give me hard now.

You got to get these fixed and said, hey, do you want me to fix the holes or you want me to go reality TV? Should I chase the reality show dream of a home makeover or would you rather me get it fixed? Oh, we need to get it fixed. For sure. Well, yeah, yeah, but I figured the reality shows would fix it. Well, maybe they would. But that is going to take forever. Yeah, we're going to have to call someone.

But it has only been six months. Yeah, six months of a hole in the roof, three holes in the roof. So sorry about the reality show Dreams. We're going to have to let those go for now. And we're going to need to call a repairman and a roofing company. Okay. So you're saying don't apply for property. Yes, do not apply.

All right. Let's go make out. Okay, no. You hear his kid coughing because he's cold in the background. Yeah. Did you guys hear his kid? Yes. Because there are holes in the roof and it's now winter and it's,

Daddy. I'm sick again. I heard that and I heard his wife kind of has to talk to him like he's a child. Excuse me? Yeah, yeah. She was. She was. There was no child talk there.

I'm sorry you're going to have to let go of your dreams. Let it go. Let it go. So Lunchbox, no more reality show. You just get your roof fixed. Maybe we'll find another show for you to be on. I'm going to have to call insurance. I'll call them in the next week or two.

And how are you going to explain to them that you've waited six months and it's probably gotten worse? I'll just tell them, I don't know. Did if they don't, you'll tell them your lunchbox in the buy-abone show and you'll tweet out some bad. I'll tweet out some bad. I don't mind publicly shaming you on Twitter and Instagram. Or I'll just say it just happened.

But this is over. This is over. The hole in the roof, Salga is over. I mean, I still have holes in my room. But it's over. Like you trying to get on a show. It's over. I guess so, man.

Hey, what a storyline this has been. right everybody. Wow. To those three holes, they gave us months and months of content. We thank you. I can't believe I got fire.

We thank you. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, I hope it's something good. Cameron Dicker used to be the kicker for the University of Texas Longhorns. He's chilling in Austin. He tells his girlfriend,

hey, let's go to a Carrie Underwood concert. So they're on their way to the concert when Dicker the kicker the kicker gets a phone call from his agent and says, hey, Cameron, you got to get on a plane. The Chargers want you to kick for them in the game this week. So let's go. Let's go to L.A. right now.

So they couldn't go to the concert. He goes straight to the airport. And yeah, he's the kicker for the Chargers now. Well, Carrie Underwood found out about this and said, wow, I can't believe Dicker the kicker was going to come to the show. Now he can't. So she made him a video message. Here it is. Hey, Cameron.

Carrie Underwood here. A little Bertie told me that you were on your way to our show in Austin not too long ago when you got the call to go play for the Chargers. I just wanted to say congratulations. And I would love to have you. out for a makeup concert. Any show you want to come to, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up. Have a great night. Good luck. Hope to see you soon.

Pretty cool. Andy goes out and wins a game. Yeah, he does. The first game he's there. Dicker the kicker's been kicking it pretty good. Did you see the video of one of the players who was miced up? He said, he goes, I know. He's, I know I'm miced up, but what's our kicker's name? They're like, Dicker. He's what? Dicker's the kicker.

So funny. It's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. There's a brand of gummy bears. called Herobo, H-A-R-I-B-O. Oh, yeah, the gold package. I don't know how to say it, but yeah, that comes to mind. The gold package, you have to bite it with your teeth to open it almost because it's hard to open.

It's like quality plastic. Haribow. Herobo. Is that how you'd say it? I guess. Yeah, Haribo. So, big, famous gummy bear place. And so this guy was standing on a platform, he's going to take a train, and he looked down

and he sees a piece of paper. He grabs it. What is this? He grabs it. It's a check worth $4.8 million dollars made out to Haribor. And so he calls, he goes, hey, I have a check to you guys, your company. It's a $4.8 million. And so a lawyer from Haribow said, hey, destroy the check.

And then send us photographic proof that you've destroyed the check. Because the guy's sitting there with $5 million basically in his hand. And so a few days later, you got to, and this reminded me of you lunchbox, he got a big reward from them. Okay. Because he, again, so anybody could have taken that check. Yeah. What do you think they were rewarded with? How much?

Four or five million dollars. They had to give me at least $100,000. Big company. Yeah, big, I mean, this company's worth billions, right? I would assume they're a big... Yeah, I don't know what their evaluation is, but yes, it's a massive company. He gets a box he opens it. It had six bag of gummy bears in it.

That was his... You would think they would hook him up with a lifetimes of life. That's trash. They sent him six bags of gummy bears. That's a gift. That's a slap in the face. That is a slap in the face. Wow.

So, I read that and thought about you. And I have a second story that I wanted to tell you just because I'm thinking about you. Hey, Abby, would you mind come to me to me? the microphone. Abby has an announcement, like two announcements that she's going to make. Oh no, she's dating that dude. What dude? Nate Smith. Oh, no, I don't think so. Are you? No. Okay. Do you guys ever talk? No. He messaged me a couple times. Like, and I was like, you sounded awesome. I love Nate Smith. I called him myself after the show that day. Really? Yeah, I never called people after a show, but I got his number from Brett,

and I was like, dude, it's awesome. Like, great job. I like you. That was it. I was it. I didn't even let her respond. I was like, hey, I like it. Click. When's the last time you guys talked? A couple days ago. Yeah, see, her hesitation is always... Well, I'm going to let it be. I'm not going to... I'm moving on from this. I'm going to life and if she ever has something, she can come to us. That being said, we've got a couple announcements here we're going to do. Number one is I love when people on the show decide they're going to go and work toward a goal. They're going to try to make themselves better because they have a passion. Abby, what are you doing to make yourself better? So I got a

professional voice coach. Like I've been saying you need to do all along Like I did But the best singers have voice coaches No no that's what I'm saying I told her all long Her voice wasn't good enough That she needs to get a voice coach

People don't go to a voice coach Because her voice isn't good enough They get a voice coach to show them how to sing To sing a lot multiple nights How to use that muscle Right and that's what I'm saying I told her that from the beginning And you guys said I was so rude

And now she does it And you guys have like it's a big deal I told her for a different reason You were like you can't sing Yeah She has to get rid of the nasal And they'll help her do that So you think if she gets rid of the nasal

she can be a good singer? She might be able to, but the nasal is all you hear. I like it. Look at your positivity. You're saying Abby can get a record deal? There's a whole chance. We just heard it. Lunchbox just said Abby can get a record deal.

Wow. Abby, let's go. But that's what I've been saying the whole time is that she has to get rid of the nasal if she wants to be considered a singer. What does the voice coach say to you? Have you been? Yeah. I've been twice.

What have you learned? So she has me warm up a lot. And she does say I sing through my throat and my nose. So it's kind of unlearning old habits. So what do you do? She kind of, I sang the house that built me and she kind of goes through because I don't open my mouth very much or enunciate. So I just kind of follow her basically. Okay.

We're at the very beginning stages. Like what? Give me a little bit of that. I thought if I could touch this place or feel it. This brokenness inside me might start healing. That's good. Is she already better? Yeah.

No, she still has to be easier? Yeah. I think you're already better. Come on. Wow. These lessons are going to pay off. She just has me be more confident and sing out more instead of being like... Yeah.

So do you want to say thank you to me or what are you going to... I mean, I've been telling you you need a voice coach for the whole time. You can't take credit for her trying to be... You were mean and it's like, you need a voice coach. But was it true? But it was for a different reason. Okay, did she go to a voice coach? Did she take my advice?

Did you do it because of lunchbox? No. Okay. So that's the first thing. You're welcome. Is that you went to a voice coach with what goal? I just feel more confident. singing and be able to sing out more.

Like, as a goal to be a singer? I don't know. Maybe. You think you leave this show to pursue a singing career? If I feel good enough. At this point, I don't feel like I'm at that level. You'll never be at that level. Excuse me? She'll never be at that level.

Unless you want to be homeless. Lunchbox. What? Yeah, if she leaves this job to go be a singer, Amy, she can't make enough money being a singer. I think people do it all the time in Nashville. Okay. They're doing.

They have six roommates and they live, you know, under a bridge. What? With six roommates? This is why, I don't know if that's true. Amy, do you really think Amy? I think that Abby

she should keep jobs and pursue it. She doesn't have to quit everything, which is what most does say, let's fucking give you like a little bit where he's like, I think she could possibly have a

and you're like, is he softening up? Well, do it if you want to be homeless. Yeah. And then don't drag any of us into what you're saying. She could never just leave this job and pursue seeing.

She would not make enough money. Eventually, she's saying she might. The next thing is Abby is that she's already taking a singing job. Already? She got, yes. So go ahead.

Tell them what's up. Yeah, so you guys remember those carolers that were at the Christmas party last year? The one you just butted your way into their group? Yeah. I was asked to. They asked her to go up and sing with them. Yeah, in my house.

Go ahead. Maybe at your house, but at the company Christmas party, she just went up and said, and she was the only one not in costume. It was like, can I sing with you guys? No, they let, he came out and asked me. You didn't see him.

Abby, go ahead. Anyway, so they asked me to be part of the quartet to sing around Nashville. What? That's amazing. So do you get your own little Christmas outfit? Yeah. I get to hear the outfit too.

I mean, that's got to be a high-paying gig. They do pay. Yeah, they do pay, Eddie, not high. They have to, like, it's four people. Well, there's multiple groups because they're in high demand. It's like, they're really good. Oh, so you're on the low group. It's like if you're going to go to, you know, the CEO or a Fortune 500 company,

they're going to send the best group. And then they're going to send Abby's group to the Sonic. To the Sonic. And sing to the server. Yeah. The car hop. Okay, I wouldn't mind that. That'd be awesome.

Hey, so are you excited? I am, yeah. How much do you make a show, do you know? So it's per hour. It's 60 the first hour and then 30 after that. Divided by $4. No, per person. That's big money.

So you're talking about two hours, $45 a hour. And you're doing what you love. Like, it's fun. Yeah, I think it's awesome. And you get to wear the costume. And you might meet, like, guys. And, yeah. No guy is going to hit on you in that outfit.

Maybe. When do you start? So the next rehearsal is Monday, and then the events start happening. Abby, here's the thing. Let them know if you wear the full outfit, you guys come up here and perform. Yes. Oh, yeah. I'm in.

Okay, let them know. Okay, I'll tell them. Yeah. And so the group that you'll be singing with, we want you. Yeah, don't bring the A team. Bring the people you're actually going to be singing with. We'd love to Avet. I'll tell them.

I got another question. We're proud of you, Abby. We are proud of you, Abby. Good job, Abby. Don't let the anchor over here. sink you all the way to the bottom. I know. No, the truth tell her. Whatever happened to that band she was in? She was going to play at the airport.

She just get kicked out. I mean, they just... It's just a guy, right? Just one person, wasn't it? Yeah, it was a guy. It was kind of a band. It was him and then a band also, but the airport's probably not going to work out because they already, they had to get badges and everything, so I was not included in that, the badge getting. But they're going to play at other places around, like pockets and... Don't let her bring you down. I'm not, yeah. He never pursues anything

he yells about. Why do I have to answer? I don't even have to answer this question. No, no, but you bring up all. all these gigs, all I'm into this band that's going to play at the airport. Never happened. Because she thought she was. No, because that band thought that we're going to say their name on the air, and we never did, so they cut her. I'm just, what acting things have you? Oh, I'm just wondering.

Never heard of it, bad out of him. Hey, you know, like I cut his lines. I wasn't going to say it. Good one, Abby. Abby, we're proud of you. Thank you. And then let the group know if they want to come in and fully dressed. All you guys, you could do a song or two.

That's one of my favorite shows that you guys do have to be here. I was just hoping that you're going to draw names on air because I always love

to hear who get to for the Christmas show. We will draw names. We will be doing a spicy Christmas and there will be a rule where if someone gets someone a gift and we can tell that they weren't trying at all because they want them to go to the boxes,

they automatically have to eat the spicy. Oh, that's a different spin. Man, you didn't tell us that. Yeah, because we know mostly, I'm not going to say any names here that somebody will just get somebody a piece of hay and be like, well, that's what I got them. I guess they have to go to the boxes

and we don't want that to have to happen. So you have to try. And if the secret panel who are not going to say who it is, all votes unanimously, then that person has to eat the spice. There goes my strategy. Wow. But yes, we'll draw names.

Thank you for asking that question. It'd be awesome. We may do it today or tomorrow because we want to get people enough time to shop. Oh, yeah, of course. Get enough presents. Get some good. Here's Amy's pile of stories. A Facebook memories photo led to a woman discovering cancer on her face.

Wow. Pretty crazy. I think she saw that. Shout out Facebook memories. I don't like Facebook memories. It reminds me I'm not doing cool things now. Like those were the days kind of thing. Yeah.

Yeah, I see it. And I'm like, dang, that was fun. Yeah. And I look at today, and I'm like, I'm just hearing shorts and no shirt. And my guts hanging over. And I'm watching a rewant. remun a shark tank. It sucks.

NBC is bringing back the more you know PSA series. We've kept it alive. Oh, yeah. They're bringing it to Peacock, and the videos will be several minutes long instead of just 30 seconds. And celebrities, we'll be doing them like John Legends,

Steph Curry, and Al Broker. They better be funny. I ain't watching. What were they back in the day? Like, I don't... Very small PSAs. Like example. Meaning it'd be like a commercial,

a 50-second commercial. It's like, hey guys, you should know that if a white band pulls up to you and offers you some candy, you probably shouldn't get in because those guys do bad things. Okay. The more you know. It's not always that dramatic, but yeah, that's hardcore. That one was it. Luke Bryan's wife, Caroline, had unexpected hip surgery.

She didn't reveal why she had it, but she's on her Instagram and she seems to be in good spirits, but obviously keep her in your prayers. I imagine hip surgery. Sucks. I know. Yeah, you can't move. For a long time. I imagine that's one of those, like a shoulder surgery is really bad for a long time.

I bet a hip surgery is really bad. Or your B.H. Yeah, that would be hurt too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to think about what that was. It's always a useful thing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, is that it?

The whole incident was captured from Fox 11 News as the helicopter was airing a live shot. And you see it during the live shot.

Wow. Someone steals his truck. The truck got big damage because they chased the truck because they had the helicopter up. And so they followed the truck. The person crashed the truck. It was a whole situation. Well, that family depends on the truck for the landscaping business. So everybody said, we'll jump in and help you out. So they did. And they set up a go fund me. And more than a hundred thousand dollars from over 2,700 donors, and they got him a new big work truck. Which are not cheap. It's not a $12,000 truck.

So he took social media to tell everybody how much it meant to him, and that's crazy. That happened, first of all, that it happened. You flip on the news, wait, wow, that truck looks a lot. Oh my gosh, it's our truck. You see the magnate on. Antonio. What? And then you don't have it because obviously it was crazily damaged, but then everybody

bought him one. That's so cool. That is a great story. That is what it's all about. was tell me something good.
