Welcome to Thursday. show, Marned Studio. Morning.

Big announcement. Tomorrow, Abby's performance. She would take guitar lessons. Yes. We'll have our recital.

Oh my gosh. It's tomorrow. She'll be bringing her guitar in and performing. She learned how to play guitar because we were like, learn to play. You'll pay somebody.

Abby's recital tomorrow. Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait. So fun. Can't wait. Wow. Let's go around the room now.

He likes to sport the gear. We get on our visits to different schools. And he started his career by reporting on the news. Here's producer ready. Okay, okay, okay. Guys, guys, bad news. You know, I've been talking about my Valentine's Day plans,

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

But you didn't go? So, no, the whole plan was, we wanted to do it before the kids got out of school. Like, I leave work. I pick her up. We go to the movie. So it was like a one o'clock movie. We'd be done by like three and go pick up the kids. Well, she called me last minute was like, hey, I got a work call. I can't go. So we couldn't do that. My whole plans were ruined. We picked up the kids. And I thought maybe, ooh, oh, last minute I can get a babysitter. All my babysitters, they got boyfriends. They have Valentine's Day plans. Well, you just want to go to the movie so you can go to the movie anytime.

No, no, we reschedule. I think we're going to have to do it next week. Are you going to take it where she really wants to go? Yeah, to the Bob Marley movie. No. Dinner and the Bob Marley movie. You know. Oh, L.A.? Yeah.

No, dude, because Scuba said if I don't get the first three sections of the venue. No, you should go. Bones, I don't think. I've been there many times. The Hollywood Bowl? Yes, I didn't like live there for like three months when I was doing dancing with the stars. We lived right behind the Hollywood Bowl. Oh, yeah, I don't know, man.

I don't know. You just don't want to do it anyway. Well, listen, for now, for now, we're just going to do Valentine's Day this week. Good. Sorry that was canceled yesterday. That's just funny because I know you wanted to watch the movie. Yeah. Thank you. I guess so.

Yeah. All right, moving on. He will commit theft when it comes to your mail. And if you ask him, he never fails. Lunchbox. Taylor Swift. Everyone loves her. I went to her concert.

It was like start of a TED Talk. It was amazing. Taylor Swift. Yeah, go ahead. But she needs to calm down. She needs to relax a little bit. There are reports out there now that she had Kanye West removed from the Super Bowl. What is your need to constantly go after Taylor or Abby?

It's always, he's always had... No, no, I don't understand it. Because Kanye supposedly bought tickets. Supposedly, though, is the word. We don't know this is true. Right in front of Taylor's box. So that way, every time they would show Taylor, you would see Kanye. But she wouldn't, though.

Because we didn't see people in front of her box ever. She made a call. You don't know that for sure. This is according to Brandon Marshall. On a podcast. On a podcast. And had Kanye removed. from the Super Bowl.

How does Brandon Marshall know this? And how do we know Kanye would be telling the truth, even if he does know this? My only point is there's some rooted jealousy lunchboxes has for Taylor Swift. No, no, I think she... And deep-rooted, and Abby.

And they're both women. He says that she's fake. No, no. He was talking about how the relationship's not even real again. Right. I still don't believe it. Her concert was unbelievable. It was amazing.

And I see why she is so highly thought of as an entertainer. She was great. Yeah, that's her job. No, no, as I'm saying, I never had seen her concert. It was unbelievable. But this is out of control. If you're having people removed for the Super Bowl.

But you don't even know that that's true. On the internet. That's a good point. It is on the internet. It's on a podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I also, if somebody that I've been harassing me was anywhere near me and I could affect that they're not near me, I would make that call. And I don't know that she did, but I would make that call.

Is this from like the music awards? That's what I'm saying. Super Bowl. No, no, I know. but like is this back then. Oh yeah. And then they got to a big fight. Yeah.

It's been a thing for years. Okay. That's pretty funny. But he keeps harassing her like that. If that even happened. Okay. Lunchbox, thank you. Thank you.

No, thank you. No, seriously. Thank you. Moving on. When it comes to cooking and parenting hacks, she is where you want to go. Or if you want a quick laugh because she gives the morning corny on this show.

Here's Amy. So I heard a clip from a podcast It's Simon Sinek's podcast, and he was talking about how when someone is struggling or in need, like all they need is eight minutes for some space to be held for them and then they'll feel better. Simon Sinek. Okay. He's got a lot of followers on his screen. He has a podcast called A Bit of Op-A.

Oh, Simon says. No. So here's a clip from what you said. Simon says, be nice to Abby all day today. There you go. Okay, here's a clip. When someone is struggling or in need, all they need is eight minutes from a friend to hold space with them to make them feel better. And so now we have a code word. When one of us is struggling, the text is, do you have eight

minutes? And that simply means, I need you. So they have a code. And it's like eight minutes. Like, oh, okay, if your friend's in need, doesn't mean like set a timer. Like, oh, I would. I would think they're being literal. Okay. And eight minutes starts now. Go ahead. But it doesn't have to take that long. And it can be a way where it's like, hey, your friend knows, I'm here to give this to you. And you're not going to take up too much of their time. But apparently in eight minutes, we'll feel better if we can just vent or hear encouragement, stuff like that. That's good. I like it. Yeah. So now we all know. We can text each other. Do you have eight minutes? I do not. Can't be tomorrow. Oh, oh, I thought you're asking right now. No, no, no. Okay. All right. Go ahead.

From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a king of a Valentine's plan. That's why he's Caitlin's man, Bobby Bones. Thank you. I saw some, I almost bought. And I've bought stuff on the internet before. But I saw something, maybe the most substantial thing I've ever bought on the internet. And I just couldn't find it. But there was a whole video on the earth quake bed. Have you guys seen these? No. So what they're doing is they're putting these beds as an invention. So imagine you're up on, what do you call that thing that goes under a bed, like the frame? Is that what it is? The box frame. No, no. It's like the, whatever the wood or metal is.

Okay. And then there's the headboard. So in these places that get crazy earthquakes, it could be California, it could be Japan, wherever. Once it hits a certain vibration, the bed goes in and it goes, like, falls into the, the bottom of it and the top of it closes over the top of you and you're in this box that is basically steel and in the box there's water and there's like food you can use it for more than earthquake so let's break into your house it's like a little bunker it's like a safe room a bed safe room what it's awesome so you wake up and you're in a box I think you'd probably wake up as you were going down like if an earthquake hits while you're asleep or if somebody's breaking in your

house and you're scared because that to me is where it interests me you just hit something and it's not like it shoves you in a hole it just drops you onto another cushion below shuts over the top of you they can't get in because it's locked oh it's like a safe room and then there's and they have supplies in there water walkie-talkie it's the coolest invention i've ever seen okay question when the burglar walks in does it look like a regular bed it just looks like a ball like a chest a big box okay but he can't get in anyway you can't get in okay yeah that's pretty cool man it's called the quake-proof bed There's a few of them. Mike, do you see a price on any of this?

I was about to say how many of you are. Because, well, that's the thing. I started trying to look and I couldn't find on an actual place to buy it. Is this it, endurance? Oh, my goodness. Oh, dude, that'll wake you up hard. Well, it does, like in the middle, it falls. But again, you don't fall onto, like, wood.

I know, but they're showing people fall and they go straight down quick. They do. Quick. So you become, like, a little pig in a blanket. This is the most legit thing. And it is kind of cool. Like, there's lights under there. And it feels like, you know,

when you put the covers over and you're like, wow, we're in a tent. And it's not even about what kind of brand, like a big sleep number guy, right? This is what's like the frame of it that could drop you. That's crazy. But surely there's, and there's a way you can. There's a TV in there. You can get out, right? Well, yeah, you can get out. All you have to do is like push, let me out. But $5,600 it looks like for this thing.

I had no idea. I'm finding one here. I don't know if that's the only one. Dude, you can put your PS5 in there. My wife could never find me or get me, get out. But isn't that the coolest? It's called the earthquake-proof bed, but for me, since we don't have earthquakes, because what could happen in an earthquake is everything falls on top of you and you can't get out, but it's steel, so all that's just fine.

And there's also like a button you push that sends out an alert so they can find you. And we do have tornadoes. Yeah. So that could work for that too. It's crazy. Earthquake bed. I like it. I watched like the video for it about four times.

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

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

Bananas. Okay, bananas. Okay, bananas is good. Oh, you good. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My wife and kids are going on vacation for spring break, and it sounds great. I want a real vacation, though. How do you think it would go over and how realistic would it be if I agreed, under the condition, that everyone left their phones at home, and we, as a group, only brought one smartphone with us for emergencies, that we could all go and do something fun. I just don't see the point of spending thousands of dollars on a big trip, but everybody says glued to their phones the whole time. playing games scrolling social media

is that something you can work out at all this day and age again i don't mind taking the family for spring break and paying the money for a trip i just don't want them to be on their phones the whole time how would you feel about a no phone vacation signed dad of a simpler time ed did you send this in no but i like this guy yeah that's i mean it's a great goal and i think he's got his head in the right place but realistically i think he's even going to want that time we're like all right we all need a break everyone get on your And chill.

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

It sounds cool, but no. But what you can do is go, hey, we're going on vacation. And these are the hours when we're doing family stuff, there will be no phones. You can set that like at the dinner table. If you have a no phone dinner table.

Yeah. And the kids don't bring it out. So your experience that you can heighten them, but if you say no phones at all, it's going to hurt everything because they're just going to be cranking. you the whole time, the whole time.

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

However, I knew that would upset you guys. So you can take your phones. But between the hours of 12 and 4, every day, no one will be on their phone. But then you can be out on the rest of the time, whatever the rule is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. I think that will probably help more than just demanding no phones because they're not going to sneak it and you got contraband. And like when you're traveling to and from.

Yes, exactly. Yeah. Is that car ride, dude? You need those phones. On the maps tell you where to, you know, can someone search where a Chick-fil-A is? Right. So you can do it and have it a little more of your way because I do understand you're paying all this and you don't get to experience what you're paying for it because everybody's glued to their phones. And gosh, camera.

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

No phones. I don't know. That sounds a little harsh. Some phones. Yeah, good luck with that. And I hope it works out for you. I get it. All right, thank you.

Close it up. We've got your email and we've found the clothes. Bobby's Mailbag. I want to go over and talk to Brian, who lives in Wisconsin. Hey Brian, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's up, buddy? Hello. I heard a while back talking about taping your mouth. Yeah, so I saw it on TikTok months and months ago, and I was like, that seems crazy. And then I would read about it, and then I was really struggling with my sleep.

So it's not like electric tape or duct tape. It's a tape that they make to put on your mouth. So I guess if you have to rip it off, you can. It doesn't hurt. But it's called hostage tape. So there's a couple different. There's different brands. The kind that I was trying lastly. it looked like an h.

So you had one upper lip, one bottom lip, and then a one strap in the middle. They kind of kept it together. Oh, like a butterfly. So if you, yeah. So if you need it to, you could be a dish. But if you pulled, it wouldn't open, but if you pulled hard, it would pop off.

And there's one thing I like to do, pop off. Watch this. Pop off. So yes, and I will tell you that I do think it has helped a bit. I don't think it's completely changed my life. But I do think that the one thing, I don't even get nearest thirsty at night because what would happen is my mouth would be wide open

and I'm breathing like this. Oh, wow. So you dry out and you're like, oh, I'm so thirsty and you wake up. Because I'm breathing through my nose, I'm not dying of thirst in the middle of the night. I didn't think about that. That part alone has probably made it 10% better. You ever tried this, Brian, this tape?

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if you mentioned taping your mouth to a doctor, they go into some kind of catatonic, like, Oh, you can't do that. What if you throw up? Yeah, you could like sphix, like choke on your throw-up. Oh. But yeah, but it's like Brian's saying, it's not so hardcore that you can't even,

if you really, with a little bit of force, pop it off your mouth. Right, right, Ryan? I could poke my finger right through it. Yeah. I used to do that trick with paper. You go like this. You just take a little, and your tongue pops through it. Oh, yeah.

That's fun. I wish to do that. Yeah, but you can kind of do that with this. But I'm telling you, I'm not an endorser. This is not a commercial. I'm not even mentioning a brand. But for me, I've probably taped my mouth with specific tapment for it. 12 of the last 14 nights.

And I feel like it's 10 to 15% better. Wow. So I'm not on TikTok going, look at me. I'm healed. I had a wound and now it's gone. Or you touch the forehead at 3 o'clock in the morning. That's not it, but it has actually done pretty good. But I'm going to let my process grow.

I'm going to do a few months. I'll let you know. Hey, Brian, I appreciate that call, though, man. Thanks for calling and sharing your story, too. Yeah. All right, have a good day. You bet. Yep, you too, thanks.

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

Wow. And a woman, Brianna DeSantis, she's 40 years old. from Maine and she just completed it. She's the first woman known to complete the trail so low. Why are you saying words weird? Because I'm just feeling. So low.

Because this is, I'm about to tell you, the kicker. Okay, kick me, kick me. She started this hike. It's all the way across America. That's crazy. January 2020. And she just finished. Whoa. Did we lose her for a while?

Did she go missing? But that's how long it takes. She's going through like all kinds of terrains, the highest peaks in the Rockies, different landscapes. Like she met kind strangers that offer her food and shelter, support. It's like forced guns, doesn't it? It does.

Running. It says here, despite facing challenges along the way, she emerged as an inspiring figure and ambassador for the American Discovery Trail. That's cool. And now that she's done, she's going to do some public speaking.

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

also it's that's maybe playing for it that's quite the commitment and that's awesome and nature's cool you know all that maybe learn about trails i took my wife and i went on a trail hike i don't know six months ago or so and i was like i got this i know where we're going to go she's like all right usually i'm not direction guy i need GPS even when i go home so i'm like no i've got that i studied it up and because there are like six ways to go one of them's like a 12-mile loop one's like so we were going to do it like a four mile loop and go hike it and then be done and then go have lunch i think and so we do like a mile and a half of it And I said, a lot of these, because there'd be like little stations where they'd have the map up and some water.

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

And I was like, man, these all look identical. And finally she's like, I think it's the same one. And it was. So I don't take the lead anymore. No, no, no, no, I know I shouldn't. At least you were staying close. I want to inspire people. And it wasn't so low.

So low. So low. First woman. So low. All right, great story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. You can have opinions.

You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans. show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live

with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-HeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%.

They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Let me tell you. Valentine's cards are expensive. They were seven bucks a piece. Yeah. Just for a card. How many did you buy? Three, Eddie? You could use the same one.

Or you just could have taken a piece of paper. I've been like, I'm writing a letter. But then he's racing their time checking out. Yeah, like I'm in love. Oh, you bought the cards while you're in line. Yeah. I thought you just went up to them with the cards. Me too.

Oh, boy. No, no. We knew what you meant then. I thought it was something else. Oh. We get it. Yeah. And that's too long of a rhyme, dude.

Yeah, and it's not even really rhythmic. No, no, that's a good... Oh, man. Here's a voicemail we got last night. Hi, morning studio. I was calling to ask about Morgan's vertigo glasses. So random that I also had vertigo at the same time as her. And I was looking online and couldn't really find any.

So Morgan, what brand do you use? And, yeah, that would be. be super helpful. Love the show. Love you guys. Morgan, what's the latest with your vertigo? So I had another specialist appointment and it is clearing but it's not clearing as quickly as they would want it to. What are you doing an appointment with the specialist?

So the VR goggles that I talked about where they put them on and basically she takes away my line of sight and they video my eyes and she does maneuvers on me while watching my eyes. Like you're in a video game? Kind of like she's moving my body like she moves me backwards to the side

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

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

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

Or you can just keep wearing on forever. Horace Grant, who played ball for the bulls, or goggles. And that's what he's known for. But then he had eye surgery and he kept wearing the goggles because he said a lot of kids felt

like they could wear glasses and still be cool, be a good ball player. So you could represent all of the young 30-year-olds with Vertigo in Kansas. I don't know if there's a lot of us, but yes, I have a new trend.

They are, I do have the brand for her. They're called Thera Specks. And they are legit. Like it's not just... Are those the Apple ones? No, no. They're not the Apple ones. But they are legit.

Like, they'll, help you out. All right. Thank you. Hope you get better. The last ball show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Pickleball problems.

It's a real thing. According to orthopedic surgeons, bone fractures related to pickleball are of 200%. More people are playing, right? Numbers game. Yeah. And sure, you go, well, it's not tennis and it doesn't move as fast. But you're still doing lots of plants and cuts. And pickleball is a little easier so you don't have to be in as great a shape or you

can be a little older. but then if you go hard older, you can fall a lot harder. Yeah, and 92% of these fractures are a result of falling the most common injuries from pickle balls. Sprined ankles, knee injuries, rotator cuff injuries. I've hurt my ankle. It still hurts like four months because I jumped. I was making a great play too.

It was awesome. It didn't quite happen, but I thought it was. Oh, no. Yeah, I almost made a great play. But yeah, I'd land a ride on my ankle, but it's like any other athletic, you know, task. If you land wrong or you don't stretch, you can get hurt very easily. But pickleball is weird though.

Like older people like in their 70s are playing this like they're 20 again. Yeah, because if you don't, if you're playing doubles, you don't actually have to go as hard. You can still play and be somewhat competitive. Okay. Without covering as much ground. It's better if you can. They're not diving for the ball like you. I'm stupid though.

Women, especially those over 65 are more likely than men to suffer a pickle ball injury. All right. There's also a worsening of arthritis. Yeah. Okay. So speaking of age, a lot of women. dread turning 40, but to make things a little bit worse, there's a friendship dip that researchers are realizing is taking place that comes with a 40-year-old birthday in women.

Like, friendships tend to take a nosedive. People don't want to hang out with 40-year-olds anymore? Wow. Sorry, I can't go out of you on Friday. You turned 40 last week, so. No, it's just that that's a time of life, a season for women where especially, you know, you've got a career, you are raising kids. They say, if you work too much and you're a lot.

a helicopter parent, this definitely impacts your friendships for sure. I think when you get 35 or more, you start to take out the garbage a little more, meaning those toxic relationships, you start to weed them out because you just don't have time for them. And so if they become a little too dramatic, you naturally just evolve. Yeah, yeah, do attrition. So experts are saying if you're a millennial that is experiencing this, join more organized activities.

Like pickleball. And Amy, you said helicopter parent, so you mean like a good parent? No, I mean someone that is a little too obsessed with their children so they don't make time for themselves. Well, let them go to Drake even though they're 31. I'm offended. So Ernest and Jelly Roll released a clip of their new song together. And the lyrics are one was in a dorm room and one was in a cell. Who came out on top?

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

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

He ever heard of Luke Bryan's story? He told the whole thing. Yeah. Well, okay then. Did he really? Yeah, I don't remember that. I'm with you, Amy. I don't remember that, Amy.

Did he say it on the Bobbycast? No. Where are you guys doing Wordle? Possibly. I mean, that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

Stay at home there's nothing good. The Never Misses Super Bowl club has struck again. These old dudes started going to the Super Bowl back in 1967. Crazy. That's cool. As a group of friends. And over the years, I mean, now that they're in their 80s, Some of them have...

Yeah, died. You can say that. No, I was going to say... No, but you can say that. That's okay. Have gone on. That's good. But we spent a bunch of time

talking about how we were going to say died, but that's okay. That's natural. Go ahead. Yeah, so the three guys, they kept the tradition alive. They went to the Super Bowl again this year. They said it's getting more expensive.

Yeah. It's getting harder. They're giving up all their retirement money to go in Super Bowl. They have health issues, but they're making it a trick, and they went to the last of a trick, Vegas went to the Super Bowl, and they plan to hope it to make it to number 60 in a couple years.

That's really cool, that they've been able to do that for that long. Because it's just like, you always want to, like, stay with your homies. Even if you don't. Like, I have friends now that I lost touch with for a bit, but then the pandemic hit, and we started playing PS5, like Madden in a league. And now, I mean, I might see them once every year and a half, but we talk once a three days. And maybe not playing each other, but just like, hey, because we gamble on league.

We play league and gamble. But it's like you want to have those friends for a long time. And then you want to look better than them when you get older. What do you mean? Like physically look better? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're just a comparison.

Oh, yeah. It's like, everybody's like, oh, I look back at my exes and they don't look very good. It's like you want to win that race. Sometimes I go to Facebook, look at old high school dudes and like, all right, yes. And how do you feel about? Much better. Wait, this is a thing for men. Oh, my goodness, Eddie.

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

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

And he goes to old high school rivals to see how they're looking. Whatever, man, whatever makes you feel better. All right, great story. But my question, my question, when it's down to one, does he go to the Super Bowl? Yeah. No? No, unless he takes his wife and, like, dumps their ashes in the place or something. He doesn't go by himself.

But you could take some of your buddy's ashes, all of them. You save a little bit, and then you put them all out in one of the stadium. But the problem is it doesn't stay in the same stadium. Maybe you go to the first stadium if it's still there and put it there. That's a good one. But, yeah, I mean, I just wonder about that. Yeah, me too. I wonder too alive.

All right, there you go. Thank you. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really. I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving.

If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

We haven't seen him in a while, but he's playing the Genesis invitational this weekend. But this is crazy. After 27 years of being with Nike. They dropped him recently. He's back with Taylor Made, and they're coming out with Sunday Red apparel. I don't know that they dropped him as much as they couldn't get an agreement to continue on. Ended their relationship. Yeah, I think Tiger was part of that, too.

Yeah, I think it was a mutual agreement. Uncoupling. Yeah, Sunday Red. Three words. Sun Day. Red. Because he wears red every Sunday. Yeah.

The fourth day of the tournament. And this weekend's going to be the first time we see the Sunday Red. I'm glad you told me that story. Dude, dude. Lunchbox. Dude. Give me some new news. Let me tell you, Hanford, California, you are some lucky people.

You're getting a bottoms up coffee shop. And you know what bottoms up is? What? It's a barista with bikinis. Yeah. Hey, that's news of dudes. Hey, look at this. Eddie, tell me, I may start drinking coffee for that.

Oh, my goodness. Hey, what was that? Did I hear a voice about? What in the world? No girls allowed. No girls allowed. No girls. Good news.

Ramundo. Dude me up. Yeah, this report came out. Scientists say that people who start their days by hooking up are healthier. Apparently it strengthens the immune system. There's an antibody that's released, and it protects you against infection just by hooking up, dudes. Dude. What's our motto?

No girls allow. Get out of here. Get out of our tree house. It's kind of like he said. You wait. You can't come in yet. Dude news, dude news. All right.

Here's my doodoo. Go ahead, dude. Thanks, dude. A man in Florida has given an interview saying he's totally fine after eating raw chicken for 25 days straight. That's such a dude thing. Dude, dude, that's not good for you. Dude, dude. That can't be good.

That's hardcore, dude. His name's John. He says it tastes like scallops, and he's going to do 100 days. And that as long as the raw chicken experiment doesn't have diseases. Salmonella. Salmonella. It's actually extremely. extremely healthy. He says he's remained salmonella free. He only eats chicken from a local farm.

He's ripped. So 100 days or so, he says. And that, that's a dude. Dude, dude. I heard something here. No, she's coming back up. She's climbing the, she's climbing the ladder. Come on the treehouse. Don't let her in? Yeah, come on in. Amy, if you, when we do dude news, you can't, you can't talk. I know, sometimes it just comes out. It can't, though, because it's a, it's a second of the dudes. And I feel rude slamming the door in your face, but I will do it again. He'll throw you out of this tree house. Okay, okay, okay. Yes. And do you have any comments? I know you were listening down on the ground.

Was that like Ray was saying hook up dudes, like hooking up with dudes? With each other? Okay, let's go. Dude news. I don't know. All right. I think I'm out. Just us for. Dude news. And the raw chickens and y'all are such dudes, you all should send the wheel and see who eats the raw chicken. No way, dude.

Dude news. Fast dude. Big news. All right, that's dude news. I don't think we have any great stories here, but let's try. Valentine's Day, night for you guys. Not that it's a huge deal to everybody, but Amy, you go first? Nothing.

Okay. Eddie? No great stories here. It took the kids to Bible study at church and then picked up True Food Kitchen. My wife said that's good, so we picked that up. We ate that last night too. We were going to go to dinner, a whole different thing, but go ahead. That's a fancy place because I wanted to go pick up the food in my flip-flops and shorts.

I'm like, whoa, I'm underdress here. No, it's not fancy. It was Valentine's night. Oh, maybe they had tumbled out. They did. Oh, maybe, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's probably not that fancy. I picked up food. We went back and we ate it. And I think we watched a little bit of Hope floats.

Okay, that's kind of romantic. Sandra Bullock and. Mark Brooks? Yeah. Yeah. When the way's going down the stage. We made it about 30 minutes in and then, that's it, man.

Does she fall asleep like you do with movies? No, she usually finishes the movie and I fall asleep first. So when you mean that you mean you fell asleep? That was me. Lunchbox? Oh, my wife cooked dinner for all of us. and then she put the kids to bed as I headed out the door to my soccer game, and don't worry, we won.

That's all we cared about. And when I got home, I scored in my soccer game. Oh, yeah. When I got home, she was. Oh. Okay. She went Eddie on you? Yep.

We had plans to go to dinner. Well, I got home, and they marked flowers up so much on Valentine's Day, which, of course they do. They mark everything up whenever you need it, right? It's a point. But I had ordered flowers. a couple weeks ago, and I went and picked them up instead of having them delivered, because I don't want to risk

knowing what time they were going to get there. And so I knew my wife was not at home, so I went to pick them up, and I had a gift for her, and wrote her a big, long card. She likes that more than any gift. A note? Yeah. This wasn't like a note, though.

This is like a pamphlet. Oh. Just. Let's read it. No. What? It's private to her. That's her love language.

Her love language is not even gifts. It's like time. and like, words. Yeah, words. Words of affirmation. And then the time you put into writing those words. Yeah.

Oh, good. Yeah. So I gave her the flowers and they had the gift and the card and just wasn't feeling that good, but I didn't want to be the person to be like, I don't feel good because I had dinner set for us last night. I think I know what I ate yesterday. Oh, no. And my stomach is still kind of jacked up because of it. I'm not sure that's what it was.

I'm going to eat it again this morning to give a test. Wait. Oh, but here's why. A lot of people claim, I do research, like on sports or COVID or I do, no, you just read the internet. I'm doing actual studies with the food. Like real lab research. This is a lab. My body's a lab.

Okay. So I ate something yesterday. I don't think it was good for my stomach, but I'm going to eat it again today. It's not bad. So I was like, I do not feel good. And she said, you know, I don't feel great either. So we punted our dinner from last night. We're going to go out tomorrow night and just have a night.

dinner, but I got charged like the 50 bucks for the holding of the reservation. I know. I get it. They want, I get it. Well, you could have sold it, I guess. Yeah, man. I tried to rally. And then when I was like, I did, she was like, I don't feel good either.

Yeah. So we ended up ordering from true food like Eddie and his wife did. And we watched Fargo. And then she got pretty sleepy in the Arkansas game didn't start until late. So she fell asleep and I watched us get crushed. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Did they play?

Who did you play? Tennessee. Yeah. But you got to watch it though. That's kind of cool. Just the back end of it and it was a bad end. I know. I know. Yeah. But you really didn't think you were going to be able to watch the hands. No, but I wasn't planning to watch it and I would rather have not have. Yeah, I know. So it wasn't the best because we just weren't feeling good.

Had she eaten what you ate? Or this is? I don't know. Okay. We didn't compare notes. But I'm going to do research today. Well, when you do research, you got to compare notes. But this is, yeah. This is my, I'm doing it in the lab. But I was talking to a friend of mine who doesn't live in the same. South isn't from the South. And I said, man, I think I got a stomach bug. And he was like, what are you talking about? I said, what do you mean? He said, what is a bug in your stomach?

And I thought to myself, because I say that just so naturally, my grandma would always say it to me. That's what it means you got a bug in your stomach means a stomach bug is like you're sick. You know, you got the, you're throwing up or you're queasy or you got diarrhea or whatever it is, but it's coming from your stomach. And I was like, you never heard stomach bug? And he was like, what kind of trailer park thing? What? I didn't realize that. was mostly a southern thing, a stomach bug. And then I started thinking about it. What does it even mean?

Like there's the original, the root of it, did someone feel like there was a bug in their stomach? Messing it up in there. Crawling around. It's like, oh, I feel a bug crawling around. I've just never thought about the words because I've said it as such a natural part of my vocabulary or description of my stomach feeling bad.

So what does this person say, like, stomach? Sick of their stomach or like, like, they feel nauseous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't realize stomach bug. I do now. It does feel very southern. But I use that.

I mean, I knew that. I'm some south Texas. Southern. Yes. We went to too from my husband. And I wouldn't say you're from the south, but I'd say you're from the southern part of the country. Yeah. Southern Texas.

I thought everybody said stomach bug. Or sometimes you just say caught a bug. Yeah. Yep. Don't even say where. So I had a bug and still got a little bit of bug this morning. But yeah. And Valentine's, if you're not like in a new.

new relationship. It definitely isn't as novel. But hopefully you found a way to sell up, just to remind yourself that hopefully, you know, you feel like you're lucky with the person you're with and you could tell them that yesterday. Or show them that in some way. Yeah.

And hopefully he didn't have a stomach bug. He was like, what? What? Where's he from? The northeast. And it could be, it's just not a northeast thing. Yeah. I was called, well, my wife calls

sodas a Coke. and I think that's a very southern thing. Everything's a Coke. Yeah. Right. I don't anymore. I used to probably call it all a Coke, but... What do you say?

Well, now I just say soda because I've had to learn how to say it differently because all the places we are. Because Coke's a brand. Right. That's one kind of brand. Yeah, but growing up, Coke was Dr. Pepper. There's anything, any soda. We would say, can I have a Coke? What flavors do you guys have?

Exactly. Yes. Yeah. What kind of coax do you have? Right, right. Which is the, I guess, the marketing that Coke did on us. Which is, yeah, it was just a dominant brand. Yeah.

It's like a Kleenex. There's lots of different kinds of tissues. Yeah. But Kleenex is the brand. Which is crazy. Q-tip is a cotton swab. Although they're the only ones to make it pretty much. Yeah.

No, there's like a generic brand too. I don't know. There's a huge market for like 10 brands of Q-tips. But we were talking about that last night because I kind of was like, you know what? Stomach bugs kind of a thing that people in Northeast don't say that much. But she calls it a Coke and I now call it a soda because that's the universally accepted. But if you're in like the Midwest, you call it a pop. Pop. Yeah, that's right.

And I think on Fargo, too, they call it a pop. You like a pop? Oh, don't you know. You like a pop? So I hope you guys had a good evening. You know, we had a fine one. Morgan didn't do anything. No, I just made myself some fetichini, watched some romantic movies.

I only know that. I saw your Instagram. I didn't just assume. Yeah, no, I didn't post it. I didn't. I was chilling on the couch and watching rom-coms by myself. Ray and Bay, husband and wife? Yeah, homemade card.

here at the studio, I stopped and got gas station flowers, and then she made shrimp and noodles, and I was in bed by five. So I don't know what she did for Valentine's Day. Ray, is that what you were printing on the printer? Yeah, I did a picture of my cat and said, happy Valentine's Day from us. It was free. It was awesome. And then out at the gas station, it was less than $5, too. But I don't think you should brag about how much you didn't spend. What I like is that you put through effort. Yeah. Like maybe it's just like I, at work, took some time and I did a homemade card, but you don't have to be like, it was free. Right. Like, you don't have to take you down a notch. Right. Not me.

We're bawling on a budget right now, so I just want it to be known. Why do you want it to be known? To her and me, we don't spend money probably for the next couple years. Because you just bought a house? Yeah, wow, wow, wow, wow. Got it. I felt that. All right, well, everybody hope you have a, you know, good day today. I hope it's a good Valentine's night last night.

The news coming up. Also, we're going to do tell me something good in just a second, obviously, which is always about good news. And then speaking to reservations, and lunchbox hasn't been on the reservations that he was trying to sell. Okay. He had 430 reservations. He had nine reservations.

He had 9 p.m. 445, get it right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we'll have an update on that as well. Are you guys can call us if you want. We'd love to have you say a couple things, questions, comments. 87777 Bobby News time. Bobby's big.

Stories. The Super Bowl parade shooting was tragic yesterday. I was watching it pre, and then I only went back to the news post. So I'm, because again, I'm not keeping up with the whole. whole parade. I didn't see while it was happening or the news breaking. And if you missed it, by the way, there's about a million people at the Kansas City Chief Super Bowl parade. And so, they're all there. Union Station is, they kept saying, I don't know Kansas City that well. Morgan, is Union Station like a part of Kansas City? Do you know? Yeah, it's like a big part of the downtown

area. It's where the parade ended. Children's Mercy, Kansas City Hospital treated 12 total victims from the shooting, which included 11 children between the ages of 6 and 15. Because of the shooting, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said at a press briefing yesterday. The 800 law enforcement officials were at the parade. The people who came to the celebration should expect a safe environment. While no motive has been established, authorities said yesterday they believed it was a criminal action and not intended to be terrorism. Fans and bystanders tackle one of the suspects and police say they suspect this person, this suspect could be one of three in custody. I saw the guy tackle him too.

Oh, yeah, it was awesome. It looks like. Two people took them down. Yeah. One and the boom, the other one was right on there too. It looked like, like, lifesaver instinct. Like the people who did that, I don't feel like they did a lot of thinking. Like, I wonder if I'm going to jump in and save or stop. I feel like their instinct was, I'm going to put my life at risk to try to save other people.

It was awesome to see. I don't think I have that. Crazy too is when he got tackled, he dropped his weapon and you see a lady come out nowhere, grab it and move it. Like, it's just amazing the way they reacted. Yeah, it obviously is tragic and it sucks. can do all the stuff, because we've done it many times on this show. But when people are like, well, we're going to carry guns in case a bad guy comes out, nobody could stop the bad guys.

And also, you don't want to pull a gun that you're carrying with a million people around. Nobody stopped the bad guys. So, and nothing's going to be changed tomorrow or next year that would actually affect. But things can start to change culturally if your politicians cared at all about you from both sides. They don't care about you. Just remember that. They literally only care about getting rid of it. reelected, they don't care about you. They only care about getting money from groups. For whatever

reason, they don't care about you. I'll say it again. Your politicians only want to get reelected. They don't care about you. If they did, people wouldn't be dying all the time. And I'm not saying we could do this law tomorrow because that's not true either. But your politicians don't care about you. They only care about dividing, conquering, getting reelected so they can keep their jobs. That's it. I've had a meeting twice. scheduled with the U.S. Senator who has reached out to me because I'm someone who believes in the Second Amendment

who has guns, but also believes that if we just keep going as is, it's never going to stop. It's going to be a new story every month. There was a shooting at the Joel Osteen Church. Yeah, in Houston. You know, and sometimes there's people who get guns who were going to get them anyway, and they're bad. Sometimes it's people who go and buy a gun legally that should have been checked. There are all

these different variables. But if certain things would have started to be built into our culture and certain safeguards that you're not going to stop them all, but what if you stop two a year? Just two. Let's say two out of a hundred. What if you just stopped two out of a hundred? You may save ten people's lives, but your politicians don't give a crap about you. My point is I had a meeting twice with a U.S. Senator who called me because I am a big Second Amendment supporter. I have

guns, very educated, well-versed, comfortable with gun, not handguns, shotguns, rifles. So it's It's definitely like hunting southern guns. And so twice, it's been scheduled. There's been a shooting. This senator has canceled on me. And then has asked me to come back again when there are no shootings at all. It then doesn't want to talk about it. So then I'm like, that's what I want to talk about.

Like as somebody who believes in the Second Amendment, but also we've got to do a little, just some culture pivot because nothing is changing. And because nothing is changing, nothing will change. And we're going to have another one. in two weeks and another one three days after that, another one in your town, another one there. So this is not a political statement. And I know some people don't like it when I say I own guns and I'm a believer in the Second Amendment.

And then some people don't like it when I say, hey, something's got to change and your politicians don't give a crap about you. But I'll be okay being the sensible person that takes heat from both sides. That's okay. Sensibility gets screamed at the loudest because you don't have any, you don't have any friends. It's only foes. You know, you don't have any allies, because sensibility doesn't get clicks. I hate this for the families.

I never plan to do this little talk every time. I'm like, you know, I'll just do the news, and I'll move off the gun thing. But I feel like I'm in that really small pocket of people who believe in the Second Amendment, understand why it was created. Not the fake reason that people say now it was created, but understand why it was created,

why it's so valuable, but also why it's just not a blanket. So I'm really sorry to everybody who was affected by this. The families who will not see their loved one again that died. Hopefully all the kids that are in the hospital, all the people in the hospital live. Yeah. And the trauma they're going to go through.

I mean, I'm glad you're saying something, and hopefully it'll encourage somebody listening. It won't. Nobody cares. Everybody acts like they care, but nobody cares because if they did it would change. Nobody cares. Go get shot tomorrow, everybody. How about that?

Nobody cares. We all act like we care for a second, but nobody cares. Let's be honest. We all care for a minute. It's on the news, all sad. And you care when it happens near you. Oh, wow, then you move on with your life.

You know who's not moving on with their life? The person was killed yesterday and their family. They can't move on yet. You know who's moving on with their life politicians who go, no, we need, you need to make sure. It's stupid. Anyway, that's all. And I do feel like I'm very alone and feeling like this because

again, I understand and believe partially both sides. It's not even both sides. I think I have a sensible approach to it. Because I don't think anybody lives down the middle. I don't live down the middle. I have some ways I'm way on one side and some ways I'm way on the other. And anyone that says, you know, I'm kind of down the middle. It's not true.

Maybe you average out-ish down the middle, but nobody's down the middle. You can have feelings and be extremely conservative, or extremely liberal or extremely whatever the case is. And you can have both. But that is not celebrated in our culture because it's not allowed. So, yeah, you all suck. All your politicians suck. Not as probably individual people.

I'm sure you're fine people. But in order to keep your job, you've got to act a certain way. So this is going to keep happening. And there's going to be another shooting tomorrow. And there's going to be another shooting tomorrow. And we'll just move on with our lives and go, oh, that's America. It doesn't have to be. There's also not one single change that we can make to stop it.

But if we just started a slight culture change in closing little bitty loopholes and closing, then maybe we save one or two or three or four or five people instead of those five people being dead. Because you're not going to stop at all. You're right. Bad guys are going to get guns. Never going to stop that. You're never going to stop that. So anyway.

feel like I walk up a mountain pushing a rock with this and after it happens the rock falls back down the hill and I go grab it again and push it up and eventually I go why do I keep pushing the stupid rock up the hill nobody even cares

right now people don't even care about talking about this so I'm gonna move on anyway it sucks for everybody big shout out to the heroes and to me a hero is somebody that risks they're alive to save others

and life and and it's crazy to watch them go and just tackle and again they didn't think about it didn't have time to think about it I don't have that But you might. No, I don't.

I would have been running. You just saw a wet spot in my pants and I'd have been running. I'd have been running. So think of the lives that were saved. Because of them, yeah. Anyway, let's talk about something more trivial. Because that's not trivial, but this is trivial. Because yesterday we're talking about Beyonce, your song.

And I'm like, who cares? Like, if you like it good, if you don't like it, that's okay. Don't have the fake outrage. Some people are like, oh, this person's not country. Brian Wilson's long-lost country album will be released next year. The Beach Boys? Yeah. Long-lost?

Yeah. Get ready. Everybody that got mad about Beyonce, you need to get mad about every time there's some new country thing that happens that's not in your mind born pure country, whatever that means. Well, I got to hear this. Yeah, it will be pretty cool. Yeah.

Brian Wilson is finally set to release his country album featuring the vocals of former Beach Boys manager, Fred Vail. It's called Cows in the Pasture. No more country than that. Southwest passengers brawl on a Hawaii bound flight. Oh, this was a real fight. You see the fight? Lunchbox? Have you seen a video? It was what you think a fight is in your mind,

your romantic version of a fist fight. Where do you just am like dreaming it up because everything is so cliche? The two passengers came to blows about an hour after takeoff on a Hawaii bound flight, force other people to get up and break them up. But I would have been one of the videoers. But man, why are you in a bad mood going to Hawaii? You should be so relaxed,

so chill, and they are angry. And it's not like they're just grabbing each other's shirt and shaking. I mean, it was hardcore fist-old. Good punches. The airplane's a weird place to fight because there's no room. There's no room and then when it's over, what do you do? Just sit next to each other. That was dumb. It's like the phone booth fighting sometimes you see they do in like Russia. They get in a phone booth area and they just fight with each other. It almost, it's like tube fighting and then yeah, what do you do? Afterwards, you're like right next to each other. And even if you're not, you've got to still look at each other. In the video, one guy dressed in a gray hoodie and baseball hat is seen inching closer to the man wearing a gray pullover.

The man in the baseball hat is slapped in the arm by the guy in the pullover. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They start separating them. And then all of a sudden the punches come out. When I say Unleashed, it's crazy. I don't know what ignited the fight. Because the question is what ignited? I don't know.

But it had to be some sort of disrespect. Always. Like your bag, hit me on the shoulder, you won't stop farting. Something. Then there was disrespect in the response to it. So, and it's to Hawaii too, so they can't really land at an airport. Oh, you're like over a water. It sounds like they can land in Des Moines real quick and drop people off.

Police arrested teen said to be linked to hundreds of swatting attacks. A California teenager who used to handle Torswast to carry out a nationwide swatting campaign, that's where they call and go, hey, for example, there's a hostage in this house. We need the SWAT team kicks the doors open with guns. Oh, man. It's terrible. And it turns out there's nothing in there with somebody faking the whole thing. And people have died.

Yeah, like at 17, how do you get into that? You see it on shows. YouTube. Yeah. Or. It seems a weird hobby. Yeah, but you still like bash mailboxes or something. Well.

And you guys would stage fights. And it's not the same, but I'm saying that's weird. No, no, no. Fake fight. was, I mean, that was creative. Honestly, I often think, like, how'd you get into that? That was the older version. That was just creative.

I mean, you would... It wasn't that creative. Some might say this is creative. And you jump someone in the middle of the street. Yeah, that was creative. A Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit had to turn around two hours in because maggots were falling from an overhead van. Oh, no.

It turns out they were coming from rotted fish in someone's bag. Oh. What? The gross bugs had an infested fish that a passenger store in their carry-on luggage. No. What? That is disgusting. That is some real raw.

New York Post. That's throw the bag away. Why do you need the fish? What's up at the fish? I don't know. Did you forget the fish? Are in there? Yeah, not surely.

Is it? Bro. Oh. Like, do you turn? No, no. Because that plane, if it's a, let's say you, it's fish, right? And you find, you know, it's fish. And the maggots have fallen on people.

Do you still turn the plane around or you just clean up the maggots and the fish? And clean it up. Right. You could probably crack a door open and throw it out, right? No, it's an airplane, dude. Finally, the Oppenheimer star, who was also in Peakey Blinders. His name is Cillian Murphy. Killian.

Killian. Kelly? It's a case out? You do that all the time. Because it was the most mispronounced name of 2023. C-I-L-I-N. But kill. Growing up had to be torture for him. You know everybody called him Cillian.

It's Killian. He refuses to take photos with fans. Why? He has a no photo policy, something he's done for his own health, he says. Once I started doing that, it changed my life. I just think it's better to say hello and have a conversation. I tell that to a lot of people, actor friends of mine, and they're like, I feel bad. But you don't need a photo record of everywhere you've been in a day.

Fox News. I guess how I feel about this is, if you're consistent with this and you really believe this, great. Good for you. You deserve to have your own boundaries that affects your mental health in the best possible way. If you're just saying this because sometimes you're a douche and sometimes you're not, then that's not cool. But if you're all the time like this, that's not a douche. But if like, I don't, I don't take a picture with them.

Or I'm in a bad mood. And sometimes, like, yeah, let's do a picture. And people see you taking a picture in like two weeks with somebody. Just commit to it. And if he is, that's awesome. And I absolutely support it. If somebody caught him, not taking a picture with the fan, and this is the story he puts out of the PR.

I don't take pictures with fans. My mental health. Then that's not cool. Last night they were showing the Auburn game and Bo Jackson was there. Oh, yeah, to take a picture with him? Yeah, yeah. He had his pocket. Pompom out and somebody like tap them. Let's say, hey, we take a picture.

He's like, no, I'm watching the game. Yeah, watch the game. Yeah, I was watching the Arkansas game. We got just pounced in. I, number one in my heart always, one of our favorite things in life, Arkansas sports. Time, energy, money. That's it for me. It looks like there's a good shot.

We won't make the NCAA tournament. And if so, I think I'm just going to go and move for Auburn. Yeah. As my second. We went, we have an episode with them coming up. Their coach is awesome. Bruce Pearl's awesome. Janai Broom's awesome.

That's why. That's why. Well, when you get to know people, when you spend time with them, and you're like, I love them. They're friends now. No, actually, I don't have their numbers. But, yeah, watch. It's cool. They're really cool.

Did you get, like, Tiger's gear? Oh, they give us gear everywhere. And we have gear from all these schools, but some schools, you're like, okay, that's neat. But, like, Auburn and I left, and I was like, dang, like, I'll never not be diehard Arkansas. But they were so, like, warm and welcoming and just a cool environment. And the coaching staff, too. Like, everyone was just so nice. All right, well, there you go.

There's your news. These big stories. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,

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

They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Yesterday in the news, we talked about Airbnb's where they said about one in 10, they find that they have cameras hidden in them for whatever reason. Crazy. And I'm sure some of them are security reasons, but some of them, they just also want to see my peepee. In the shower head.

Exactly. Some of them were in the shower. That's the thing, right? Some of them for sure for creep reasons. Some of them illegally or not according to the rules of Airbnb for security reasons. Like you can't secure the toilet. Right. You're not supposed to. So anyway, get this. An Airbnb host attempted to extort a married guest by sharing security footage of him with another woman

after he left a bad review of his stay. Oh, my goodness. So the person gets on and says, this place kind of sucked. And so the person who owns it, because those reviews are so important, go to the footage, check it.

It's with a woman. It's not his wife. And it's like, all right, Big boy, you gonna play games? I got you. Dude, that's like next level dirty. Yeah. Mackie, who lists his home on Airbnb, rented the three-bed, two-bath property for $5.67 a night.

But he refused to pay an additional $9006 fee that was issued after the person said that he had broken two house rules and invited more guests than promise. So he left a review, asking for a refund. And then he retaliated by emailing his wife security camera photos of him and another woman. Oh, yeah, I thought he threatened it. He did. And then I think it like he accidentally sent it is what I'm. I read?

Yeah, created a fake email address, like his name and then said, oh, I like your bag in this picture. Where did you get it? I love your bag. Where'd you get it? Except it. It was, uh, and it says it's caused damage to this guy's marriage. You think?

Mackie is suing for economic damages and damage to his marriage as well as emotional damages. That's crazy, man. So this guy, Mackie was somebody who, again, rents his own home to Airbnb, but then was renting another one at, like the party, buying, like himself paying the money. for it and then the guy got him after he put the battery review. Because it was like a super, like one of the best ones they ran out all the time. 567 a night?

They're one of the higher rated Airbnb people and it was going to ruin them out of that category. You read two where he accidentally sent the email, right? Like he didn't mean, did you read that? It said, threatened to do it and then accidentally hit sin. I'm like, didn't accidentally hit sin. Hey, lunchbox has accidentally replied to the whole company before on that group email. Oh, were those accidents? I think at first it was.

And then he realized he could get some attention with it so he kept doing it. Dude, you can't hit it by accident. Everyone was while your mouse clicks on the wrong thing or you're just scrolling over something. You mean to hit reply, but you hit reply on. Yeah. I mean, I'm thinking now that's his defense. He's trying to. I hear you, but he still can't do it.

Yeah. Why don't I get it? So who's team are we on? I'm, you know, I don't really like the sport, if I'm being honest. I'm not going to be tuning in for the Super Bowl of this. However, if I had to pick somebody's team, my team would be the guy who was cheating on his wife. Not because he's cheating on his wife, but because he didn't do anything illegal and didn't extort somebody for money. Yeah, not a good dude.

Yes, I'm not trying to be best friends with them, but if I have to pick by the law, if I'm the judge, I'm definitely after the dude. Right, and reviews are helpful. Good or bad people that leave reviews. I mean, as long as I... That's where you go with this, the power of reviews? Well, he was leaving a review, and the guy's retaliating because his... his rating is going to go down. He probably was retaliating because he didn't believe the guy's review was

accurate. An honest portrayal of his experience. So then now, all right, the review, whatever, is that host still up in the upper echelon of Airbnb or is Airbnb saying, all right, we want to get out of here, you're done with us. This new story, I would imagine. You're at least in the penalty box. This doesn't make me want to run to Airbnb and book a room, you know?

Especially with a story yesterday, 1 in 10 have cameras. Okay, listen to this. one. I was like, I can't we talk about this story on the air. And then I get hit in the face with this story. Three South Carolina deputies are facing felony charges for prank calling other law enforcement agencies. It was hilarious. They call other departments saying that a dead body has been spotted. Stop. What is wrong with these men? Why did they do this? I'm assuming they're men. Oh, for sure. You think women find this dumb humor funny? No way. You guys are a little more intelligent than this. Thanks. But also I find it hilarious, but not this. Like part of me,

It's like, that's so funny, but like the part of me that is a public figure who says stuff to a large amount of people is like, you shouldn't do that. But then, but then that's like hilarious. It is. In a bad way. A trio of deputies walked into the county jail on Monday to surrender. They have been under investigation since last week. They are charged with misconduct in office, criminal conspiracy, breach of peace. Justin, Darien and Killian.

But the K. Right. A source tells Queen City news. that the arrest were related to prank phone calls made to other law enforcement agencies last week. They traced the number to identify the sources of the calls while on duty. Deputies knowingly reported five hoax emerges.

The thing is that you're taking time and energy away from other things. Right. Like the responsible me is like you can't do that. But prank calls are funny. Like, okay, fine. Prank call somebody that isn't like supposed to be saving other people's lives at the same time. You don't have to talk sensitive to me. The sensible part of me knows.

But also they're cops. They know they can trace the phone calls. Like guys. These hoax reports were telephone to convenience stores or the respective municipal law enforcement agency and notified the call recipient of a dead body in the area. The hoax calls caused emergency responses from law enforcement. Does it say their age? Queen City News.

Well, they got to be able to be cops. Now I got a question. Are they going near where they report the dead body and laughing? Like, oh, they responded on that. They watch them respond? Yes. I don't, I think they're from other, it's like other areas around them. So I don't think they can get to them.

But it has to be small towns. You can listen. I don't know how far you can hear on the radio. Oh, yeah. Like, go channel 13. You can do that on the internet now. So maybe that's how they did it. Here's what I say.

They shouldn't do this bad. That's what I say. No, it's hilarious because nobody got hurt and hopefully nobody else got hurt in the time of the way. But they're probably going to lose their jobs, huh? Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the same way, but my friend Tommy Chuck and I, who Tommy's like a massive deal in radio as far as like programming and runs big.

We just probably call radio stations and get on the air when we were on the radio. Your competitors? Huh? Your competitors? That's safe fun. I know. But we just call other cities.

We get on like, do you three-way? Remember three-way? Oh, yeah. And we call other and be like, there's a dead body. No, we didn't do dead body. But we would get on it and tell them, oh, it was so bad.

Didn't you do something in time you'd be like listen to Bobby Bone? Well, that's when I broke into a radio station. That's a whole different thing. That's a different story for a different day, probably. But we would call and say, Hey man, this is a GM. I can't get through the hotline, but your transmitter's having an issue.

You're going to get a call from the engineer, and we're going to need you to shut this thing down and turn everything down for a while. And we would call, and they would just turn their station off. That's crazy, dude. That's nuts. And then we would laugh. We haven't done it in weeks. How long?

We had a buddy here that had a radio show right down the hallway, and he would go to, like, construction sites. and be like, hey guys, you shut it down for the day, we're done. And the guys would be like, all right, we're done. Form and set it. So they don't pack up and leave. What? We used to prank call 1037 The Buzz in Little Rock when I was in college, and we would get back to back to back to back.

And it was bad because I used to say bad words back in the day. We'd get on and just, they'd be like, oh, let's go to a Chuck and Lone Oak. And I'd be like, hey, Randy, I just want to say the Razorbacks have huge beef. And they'd hang up and they'd yell at us. Stop pranking. And so the next guy who was like sitting next to me in my dorm room would be like, man, I hate those prank calls. I bet they have big, be. So then they stopped taking calls all for like weeks on the station.

And so they would take no calls. They would talk about sports. And then finally we would call and try to get in and they'd be like, we can't because prank callers, let us call you. So my buddy was like, all right, here's my number. Because then they're like, if we have your number, you're not going to prank us. So he'd call. We heard his phone ringing the dorm. And then he gets on.

He goes, all right. Yeah, let's go to Mike. Mike goes, hey man, thanks for letting calls back on after weeks. Those guys, they have huge beep. Because he was like, what are they going to do? They have our number. It's not like what we're doing it. That's awesome.

We had a whole tape of that. I don't know where it is, but I'd love to have that old tape. But yeah, those cops can't do that. They're cops, you know? You can't do that. All right. You guys call us if you want, but no beeps. Please.

Yeah. And we also have a delay at this point where we can just drop you. And you will go to jail. I'm trying to think of the profession that should stay away from bringing like cops. Doctors. Doctors. calling in some disease or like. Oh, for sure.

Like fake prescriptions. Pilots calling in some crazy. Fake Maydays. Mayday, Mayday. And then you're like, JK, JK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All those will be bad. Yeah.

Call us if you want, 877. 77 Bobby. Hey, lunchbox. You really came in clutch this evening from me here in Tampa. I took a page out of your book and used your reservation that you made at Bacito's Mexican restaurant. Wasn't sure which aliens. you would use, but I played dumb. Another page out of your book.

And it was perfect. We went to the movies afterwards. In fact, we're just getting out. Just wanted to thank you. And next year, I'd prefer if you could please make it at Burns Steakhouse. Awesome. Ciao. Beicito.

Do you think she's serious or she messing with you? I don't know. Did you have to pay for that one? Yeah. You did? Did you they charge a card? Yeah. Oh, well, then so she didn't use it.

What do you mean? Because if she would have used it, his card wouldn't have gotten charged. The 50 bucks? Oh, so maybe she's another one. Unless they'd charge it and take 50 off your bill, I don't know. I don't know. She may just be messing with you. I don't know.

I just know that lost $100. Dang. Yeah. It was a bad year for business. You didn't start until too late and your reservation sucked to the time. I don't know if it's the recession. It's not. It's, again, you had a 445 reservation.

Yeah, it was your options. Recession, inflation. I don't know what's going on with the economy. You were calling lunch dinner. People were, you know, hesitant to go out and spend. been money on Valentine's Day because of the financial crisis we're in. We also went to those same restaurants yesterday during the post show and found they had other reservations for free up.

Right. So, you know, it was a bad year for business and now we'll have meetings with the executives and we'll decide how we can pivot, how we can change. Who are the executives of your company? Me, myself and I. And we'll decide what angle we need to go to, how we can fix it, or maybe if we shut doors, I don't know. Did you make any money?

Did you sell one? No, none. Well, he only had two that he spent money on. Right. Lost 100. And the other two that were free, nobody wanted them. Nothing. Because there were other ones available.

And if that lady really did take my reservation, she owes me 50 bucks. No, she set a page out of your own book, man. What, stealing? Yeah. I don't steal money. What alias did you put it under? No, I can't tell that. You can say it now.

It's all over. Tom Brady. Stop. Stop it. In Tampa? So in Florida. You're Tom Brady? Okay.

So dumb. You're liar. Whatever. Okay. We talked about our Valentine's days and Valentine's nights earlier. Listen to the podcast, the Bobby Bone Show podcast. Hopefully you guys had, if you had first dates, it's fun. It's exciting.

Abby, has Abby told you about getting ghosted? No. Not by our boyfriend, though. Oh, my. I know. I knew. No. So, by the way, Abby still has a boyfriend.

It's great. All wonderful. Tomorrow, Abby's recital happens here. She's been learning how to play guitar. Yes. She didn't know how to play, and we were like, we challenged her. Abby learn to play guitar because then you can go play guitar and sing without having to pay somebody all the time, like being completely reliant on someone else. So Abby, how long have you been

practicing guitar? That was what six months ago? Do you feel pretty good about tomorrow's performance? I do, yes. Strumming is a little hard for me still. Like singing at the same time? Yes, yeah, like getting the timing and everything because you're like switching in the middle of what you're saying, so. So she was taking lessons and her guitar teacher ghosted her. Yeah, he like legit ghosted me. Now before she guess more of the story. Why do you think that would happen? He didn't see progress. No dedication. She wasn't good enough. Well, that's two different things.

Like, what's I'm saying? He's wasting his time. He's like, this isn't worth it. Yeah, sometimes they do that. Like, this is a waste of my time. But what if you're paying them? They still... Sometimes it can still be frustrating. Yeah, yeah. And you're like, you have a better paying client that's not frustrating. Someone that really wants to learn.

Yeah, that's being very hateful. No, no, no. We're saying when people quit. Like, why lessons. Okay, or... Abby, what? He's falling in love with her, maybe? or Abby hit on him and then it got awkward. Oh, no. Because Abby, you know, like me, he put his hand on her hand. Oh, yeah.

And he was like, she was like, oh my gosh, he's in love of me. But he was really just teaching her guitar. I had to do a chord. Yeah. He passed away. Abby, oh, oh, man, I didn't think about that. What if that is it? That's literal ghosted her, right?

Yes. He's here now. He's currently ghosting her. Abby, so what happened? Yeah, so, well, I texted him. For one thing, I texted him and said, hey, what's your Venmo? Because I'd like to pay you. And that's when I never heard back.

So I had several lessons and he never even gave me his Venmo. You would think he would at least do that. Are you sure he was real? He was a ghost. Or it's her imaginary teacher that has chiseled features. Or is this her setting us up for if she's not as good as? That could be it too. Making excuses.

How did you meet this person? How did I? Oh, when I bought my guitar, they recommended me. Go to him. Got it. He said he's really great. And how did, did you text him or call him? Yeah, I called him. And then he was like, hey, it was at his house too. So in his basement.

You should go check on him. Actually, I am concerned. How many lessons did you take with him? Three. And how much an hour or lesson was it? Oh my gosh. No, we didn't get that far. He never told me.

But our lessons were like four hours each time. Wait. It was way too much. You were dating this dude. All this is odd. It turned from, well, that's unfortunate too. Something's up. No, it was weird.

You would do a four hour. lesson in the basement? Yeah. It was so strange. We just kept talking about other things and I kept being like, can we get back? They were dating. No, we weren't. No. But I wanted to get back on tracks. I was like, oh my gosh, I want to learn guitar. And he just kept high

tracking on to different things. So then you ven- How much did you, oh my gosh. How much did you think you were going to have to venmo him? Like, honestly, your expectation was blank. 60 to 80 an hour? So for four hours. So let's you do 60 an hour. If you're not-

240 times three, right? Yes. So over $700. But I was not going to, if he came to me and said, hey, I need four hours. I was going to say, no, we did not practice four hours. We took, we're tongue twisted. Did he, is this before he had a boyfriend or during? That was before.

Okay, did he try to make a move? He was really flirty, but he was talking about his exes a lot. Oh, yeah. A therapy session. Letting you know that he was available. Single. Did he try to kiss you? No.

No, that would have been weird. Nothing happened at all? Nope. It was professional. That would have been weird. A lot of this is weird. You didn't think a four-hour lesson with no talk of money in a basement? Oh, boy.

No, it was weird. I thought that. And you kept going back for a second time. I did. She wanted to learn guitar guns. I was hoping it would get great. I thought maybe. I did anything for guitar lessons.

I thought maybe the first few lessons that was just a get-to-know-you and it was normal. Oh, my God. Four hours? That's what Abby's dates are. She usually does that one coffee and turns into four hours. Well, maybe she, this is just her normal first. Yeah. Maybe I'm just a good listener and people like to talk.

Do you feel like if you would have allowed it, a move would have been made and... Oh, no. If you'd have been open to it, I've been like, like you stared at his lips. It actually probably could have, now that I think about it, but I was like, stay professional and just play it. So you were resisting, like you were trying to hold yourself back. Okay. No, no, no, no. Amy, go ahead. Do you know his age?

He was pretty, a lot older than me. Not a lot, but... Now I'm concerned about where he is. He's not that old, but I thought you were asking. He's like, he's 85. What's your theory? I really don't know if unless he, because I was talking about like my past dating experiences. So maybe he was just like, why?

Because he started talking about songwriting and. Hold on. Everybody relax for a second. What is your, if you had to have a theory right now of what happened, why he won't return your texts. He won't take your money. What do you think happen? Make a theory up. Now go.

he met somebody else that he clicked with and like but why would he not charge you though for the guitar lesson part that's what I don't understand that's it's so weird to me Eddie what you're doing? I think he's dead It's even if he was like hitting on it which we don't know that's true or not we don't even know who he is you still go fair

it's 60 bucks an hour for two hours It's business yeah I have a question though Did you ever mention you were on the radio or anything like that Of course she had to it's her job Okay, so maybe he's like, man, it's been like, you know, four lessons and she hasn't talked to me about me on the radio or no promotion, so I'm out. No, that's not what it was. Hey, she was a paying customer. No, she was a single-son.

But it was set up that way. No, because he never told her a price. I know that, but it's not like you ever said, hey, this is like. Maybe you want to pay me through something else. Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. Guys, actually. Amy, that happens.

Why would you guise us? That could be, if he didn't give her a price, maybe he was just using it to date her. Okay, well, why would the guitar place? Because they are friends with them and said, oh my gosh, I met this girl perfectly buying date. They tell her his guitar lessons. They told him, hey, it's a date. Maybe they just are sending chicks to their friend. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I think that was it. So can we call the guitar place and be like, hey, have you heard from so-and-so? I wouldn't. Where is Gustavo at? No, let's not. Well, Abby, I'm sorry that. Are you ready for the rehearsal or for the recital tomorrow?

I am. Yeah, yeah. No thanks to him. Okay, well, that's tomorrow. morning on the show. I didn't know the rest of this, like the four hour lessons. I just knew that he had ghosted her. I didn't know all that. Yeah, I don't think I shared those details. So did Abby actually get any lessons from this guy or was everything used? Are you better because of it? I actually, someone else reached out to me. Your name's Chelsea. No, no, no. Are you better

because of your 12 hours you spent with him? Oh, absolutely not. I got nothing out of it. Oh my gosh. Nothing. Nothing. Because I wouldn't, remember Eddie, I was like, how's this? And he's like, you're playing it so hard. You're playing it so hard. She went to the wrong house. It wasn't even the right person. And he's like, come on in the basement. You didn't even have a guitar. Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day.

This story comes us from Tacoma, Washington. Someone broke into the Bellevue rare coin shop, stole a bunch of coins, some gold bars. And police were like, man, we don't know who did it. Oh, wait, what's this over here? It's a crowbar. Says McGee on it. That's the guy's last name. Customized crowbar.

It's like when you have your name Embroidered in your underwear Yeah Whatever He had it done on his It was probably a birthday gift or something Why would you even take that with you though That's how you broke in

That's his lucky crowbar dude It's like robbing a place with a wallet Leave your wallet behind When you rob a place Just in case it falls out of your pocket Yeah because there's uses for crow bars Besides You know

Being Changing your tire A bandit Yes If you're gonna go rob with it though Leave it behind Yes, okay. I'm Lunchbox.

That's your Bonehead story of the day. A lot of people message me about vertigo because Morgan is suffering from it, has to wear these glasses. It's really affected her life in that, like, the room spins. But you've also been having people you know talk about it to you. Yes. So one of my girlfriends, thanks to Morgan,

was able to figure out what she had going on. Then my friend's dad, who's older, was in the ER with vertigo this week. I never heard of so much vertigo. Maybe it's like when you get a car and you're like, I'll have a Hyundai. So does he. Wow, there are Hyundai's everywhere.

You have to notice other ones? And then my other friend, her husband is a chiropractor, and he said he has had six patients in like the last, like less than two weeks. So even for him, it's been more than normal. Yes. So I feel like something's going around, but it's not something that's contagious.

So what is happening? Or is it contagious? I don't think so. Is there a vertigo bug? You never know. It's going around. So they do say you can get like a virus. that sweeps through and a virus can.

It can give you vertigo. Technically give you that, but it's not. It's not the vertigo that's contagious, but the virus that affects you can actually create the vertigo. Yes, essentially. It could be like a side effect. I wonder if I have it because I got a bug, you know? That stomach bug.

What was the first to you? When did you realize you had something that wasn't right with your body? So it was Monday. When I woke up for work, I had like, I was sleeping on my side and I rolled over to grab my alarm clock and the room went spinning. As soon as I tried to roll over first thing in bed.

Did you feel like maybe you ate something weird? Did you feel like maybe you didn't sleep right? Like when you have the blood rush and you're like, whoa. But then it just happened more. So that's when you realized it wasn't that? Yeah. So I thought for a second, I was like, okay, that was a little strange. But then when I got out of bed, I immediately fell over.

And then I tried to get up and I was like, I'm not okay. Oh, that had been weird. So like, that's when I started using the walls. And I was like, I look drunk. Something's going on. What's right? Like, I couldn't figure it out either. For like two days, I was like, why is everything?

spending what's going on. Were you looking to see if lunchbox spiked your drink for like two days as a joke and he's recording behind the scenes for a bit? He's just making her drunk. Yeah, because, but then we had to have a talk with Morgan because then that same day she drove to work. Yeah, yeah. Her driving to work is crazy.

Yeah, but she's like, well, I'm just used to. But I would say she didn't know what was going on. Oh, I know. I would have also probably driven to work going, man, I'm just not feeling great. I wouldn't have thought I have vertigo and it's dangerous. Yeah, no, I agree. But Morgan was just, she's like, well, I'm used to powering through and taking care of myself and I got to just do what I got to do. And I was like, okay, but yeah, we're

worried about her driving. But now you're good. Now I'm good. And you're wearing cool glasses every day? Yeah, I got some Miami Vice. I just purchased them. These are on loan from like the clinic office because I just needed them. But I went for my first walk in two weeks and that was a crazy experience. Like I had to teach my body to kind of walk again. Like the balance part? Because I didn't trust myself like going anywhere without walls. Like I walked outside for the first time. It's that bad. I can't even really relate or sympathize properly because I don't

I just don't relate to what that feels like. Well, it's just one of those things you don't ever think about. And especially like hearing vertigo, you feel like it's like a movie thing or a YouTube song. Yeah. Yeah, like it's not real. And then when it happens you're like, oh, this is actually like really debilitating. If you take your glasses off

and you just run down the hall, does it hit you again hard? Yeah. Or are you better? Yeah, like if I get some, like if my dog kind of barks close to my ear, it kind of sends me spinning. If the guys yell, it kind of like knocks me. Then she's on a tilt world all day. Then if it's lunchbox yelling?

I mean, he does yell a lot. She doesn't get off the ride. Come on. That's how it was for the week. So it's not even just motion. It's just anything that is aggressive, like any sound or... Yeah, it's basically like my brain is over-stimulated, like a hundredfold. Could you not just go in a dark room, like a concussion for a couple days?

Not could you not, like you should have. But could you just go into a dark room and have no stimulation at all? and it kind of fix itself faster? I don't think it works that way. I think it would help, and I think you'd feel better through the course of it. That's why a lot of people typically stay in bed

and they stay in dark rooms with not a lot of noise, no screens or anything. I like to do that anyway. Well, I like screens, but I like that stuff. Oh, good luck. Hope it gets better.

It's been a wild ride. I mean, even with her COVID, she can't smell still. Got her good for two years. Yeah, and the worst part too is there like, once you get it once, you're going to get it again. Vertigo? Yeah.

Oh. You should use that to your advantage. Like how? Oh, like roller coaster rides? I got where to go. I got to go first. Well, there's a lot of things get a sticker for your car.

That's what I'm saying. Oh, parking. Yeah. There's a lot of things. 100%. Yeah. Hey, talk about behind the scenes. You know?

I don't know what you can't. But if they're like, no, you don't get handicapped parking because you shouldn't be driving. It's probably too. No, but somebody needs to drive you though sometimes. Oh, yeah. And I need to be closer. True, true. But you could just say like, I don't get it when I drive.

It's a weird thing. It doesn't happen when I drive. That would be a lie. And we're not lying. Okay. All right. Thank you. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
