On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Ho'Brien, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

A lot of energy. A lot of energy today. No lunchbox again today. So we're going to start with Morgan. Morgan's going to do what Lunchbox does here. So here she has first. Our head of digital. And she likes schedule.

Goodgills. All right, Morgan. I need to have a schedule now. So I posted a video of the guy's closet, a.k.a. R. Studio. I saw that back there behind that desk. Yes. It's a dump back there.

I didn't see that. Yeah. So Eddie and Lunchbox have created a closet in our studio, which sits behind us. And our listeners so kindly reminded me that they had a week to clean it up, and it had been much longer. That was a bit.

I don't remember that. Yeah, no, I brought this as to spill the tea, and it was like, if you guys have a week to clean it up. And if you don't, they get the pillory. Each of them gets the pillory. So lunchbox is sick. Is his stuff still there? Yeah, so he hasn't. Take this to his house.

I put a minute. He hasn't had time to pick all that up. I didn't know. But it is gross back there, guys. What's wrong with you? Yeah, no, it's just kind of our stuff that we need. I have a camera bag back there, my backpack. No, there's also jerseys, a pair of pants, a hoodie, a cleat.

I think there's a sock. Yeah. There's a dog. There's a kid back there. Yeah. Okay. Look, today's Thursday. Just lunchbox is back Monday, I hope.

By Tuesday, Tuesday, you have one day to get it cleaned up. You got it. Or you'll do the whole show in the pillory. The whole show! Yeah. This is a place of business. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Okay.

Morgan, thank you for reminding us about that. Yeah, you're welcome. I don't remember saying that, but I do think I would say something like that. All right, next up, this next person does all the video for our show, and when it comes to music games, there's nothing he doesn't know. It's produced ready. Let's go. You guys gave me the hardest time when my son was getting bad grades and I made him eat bologna sandwiches because I once trying to teach him a lesson

that if you don't work hard, that's all you're going to be able to afford to eat. That's all you let him eat. Yeah. Bologna sandwiches. Controversial, by the way. Big time. Yeah. Big time.

Well, I'm happy to announce that my son's grades came in this year. I mean, it's just the beginning of the school year. But his first grades came in and he's got a 3.5 grade point average. Let's go. That's awesome. Guys, I'm telling you, it works. You know what he told me, though? I was like, I was like, what's inspiring you?

What's going on with us? He's like, well, I realize, like, I have, I mean, now the grades count. Like, I'm in high school now. So if I want to go to college, I got to get good grades. So it wasn't the baloney. I was like, what? Like so, so all the time in elementary school, middle school, it didn't count. So he didn't try.

He's like, yeah, pretty much. Okay, so what does the baloney have to do with the story? Well, I'm just saying I started all that. No, you didn't actually. It was so long ago. I would say that would pick the incorrect tactic. No, no, no. I think he will, when he has kids and they have bad grades, this will carry on too.

I don't think tradition for tradition's sake is good. Definitely not. Okay. Well, I like that. Good thing. Yeah, man. He's doing great. This next person tends to leave our car.

running in the parking lot and it's a good thing Eddie's here to remind her that she forgot. It's Amy. Okay, so I'm hosting a wedding shower with a bunch of people and one of the girls on our group text like sent over, hey, I set us up a split-wise just so we can keep track of what everybody's spending. And I was like, oh, this is good for people to know about if you have the group thing going on it. And we often do group things at work.

Like, we're splitting a palette apparently. Lottery tickets. Lottery tickets, stuff like that. So it acts like a digital IOU, and it calculates what each person in the group owes, and you can use Venmo through it. So, like, keeps track of everything. Or you can just Venmo once it says the number, right? You can, but you know how sometimes we're like, okay, we forget.

Like, oh, I did the math, and this person owes this. It's like a way to just digitally keep track of all the... I could see it at a dinner, and you're splung the bill. Yes. That would be good. Yeah. Unless you're having dinner with Eddie and lunchbox, and they're going to run the bill way up, and you're only going to get it like a soup,

and then they're going to be like you pay for a third of the meal. They would split it three ways. But that's not how it should. Or you just play. What's it called again? It's called split-wise. I like that. Split-wise is good. Rambo-No. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, every day he has five hours to fill, but he loves his job and considers it a thrill.

Bobby Bowie. Thank you very much. So I struggle and have struggle with sleep for a long time, and I have some things that I do that try to, like I have an excellent bed. My sleep number bed's awesome. I try to. That's pretty much it. I don't get on my phone before bed. I like that.

But I do struggle. My mind raises constantly, even when I try to. I'm sleeping. And I read the story today. I wanted to read you guys. It turns out the people who sleep well and those who sleep poorly have different kinds of thoughts before bed. It's just a thought problem. Good sleepers report seeing people and objects and before they fall asleep, these people and objects have dreamlike experiences. Everything's just kind of fuzzy and fading. For people who can't sleep, I've never felt more seen. Pre-sleep thoughts tend to focus on planning and problem solving the entire time all up until sleep.

And then it wakes you back up because sometimes you haven't solved the problem. Have you tried writing it down right before you sleep? Like keeping a journal by your bed and whatever thoughts you have, just write them down. They say, there's the day that. Who's the day? Yeah. The day, the, the, I'd be stressed.

I'd always make sure a pin was near the bed. Wait, that's not hard. That's, it would be stressful. It would just be another problem. Then it could get a notebook. But if I run under pages, I get the same notebook. It's got to look exactly the same as the other one. I can't be doing rogue notebooks.

All right. Okay, this is deeper then. Yeah, this is a problem. I read that and I felt, I felt, I felt seen. That's what happens to me every night. University of Melbourne, I'll show you with that story. Yeah, they're worse problems for sure. Yeah, but good sleep is important.

It is very important. And when I get it, I feel good. Watch out. Ow! You're good, Donna. That's a deal. Thank you guys. Let's get started here.

Time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. my boyfriend of six years and I have been talking about getting married. The reason he hasn't popped a question yet is because he was trying to wait until he was financially stable to start the next chapter of our lives. He's made great progress and paying off a lot of debts and he's got a better paying job.

The thing is, I still make more money than he does, and I think the ring he could afford now isn't the engagement ring out of one anyway. I love him. At the end of the day, any ring would be fine, but I've also waited years from him to pop the question. I would really just love the ring that I had envisioned. but I just don't think he's there yet financially. He's been subtly asking me what kind of engagement rings I like for the last couple of months, so I do feel like it could be coming soon.

My best friend's also been gauging interest. Do I suggest the ring I really want, even though it may be something he can't afford? Or do I pick a more modest ring and risk not loving it? Sign, soon to be engaged. This is an easy one. Tell him the ring you want. Tell him the exact ring you want. I'm going to tell you why.

Because it sounds like you say you make more. money and you can afford it, but maybe right now he can't. But as soon as you get married, you're paying the same bill on it anyway. So, let's say you pay. What if he wants to pay for it in full? I don't think he's going to based on the criteria here, though. I thought that was what he was waiting for all this time. He's trying to save.

And maybe, but I take it here as, well, he can't if it's the ring that you, that's why I tell him. Oh, got you. He can't. If you need to tell him exactly what you want, so there's no resentment at all from him that he couldn't get you what you want. So if he wants to get you what he wants, what you want, it's going to be a ring.

Let's just say it's $10, okay? And he can't afford the $10 ring, but you want a $10 ring. So he goes and he puts money down on the $10 ring and plans to pay it off $50 a month for the next six years or whatever the case is. But the good thing is, once you get married, you now join and you can pay it together

and it's not a big deal. So would you be offended, though, if like you were getting married to someone or you were waiting to propose and she came and said, hey, I really want this ring. I know it's kind of out of, your budget, but it's cool, like, I'll go in on it with you.

Don't say that. I had a time. You can't say, don't say that. Can't, okay. I was just asking. No, I wouldn't like that. The guy doesn't want that. No, I don't like that.

I don't think the guy minds once you're married to use money for all the bills. Right, right. But I don't, no, I don't want that. Okay. Just let him, tell him the ring you want. If you can't afford it, he won't get it. If he can afford to pay payments on it, that's great. Let him pay payments, and then you can join together and pay it off later.

Gotcha. Eddie, your thoughts? Yeah, I think we're missing the point here. I mean, it's just weird because she's like, I think she's more worried about this ring than the actual marriage because she's like, oh, it's six years. He's taking a long time. She's stressing him out. Like, she's stressing him out because she wants this ring that he can't afford. They could have gotten married four years ago.

But I don't think it's just about the ring. I think it's a lot about the ring. I didn't take her as being just ring hungry. I took her as someone who knows what they want. She's just now started to look. I took it as this. Diamonds are twine, man. You know what I mean?

Just get married. So you want her to just. settle for whatever he gives. It's fine too. Settles for me. Like diamonds or twine? Are you singing? Ryan heard. Yeah, yeah. Diamonds or twine.

Okay. Man, I got my wife a $3,000 engagement ring. She still has that today. And I can afford a better one. But you know what? That's what we got married. And that's still our original ring. I love that.

And he's like, I could have greeted now. I could. But I think all that, you're missing the point. That's you guys' situation. All I'm saying to her is she's saying, should I say that I want this ring? or should I just say I want a different ring? Because she's saying that.

What's more important in the marriage of the ring? Oh, my God. Okay. She's not saying you have to make a decision. My advice is what I did. Say what you want. Yeah. He knows your heart.

He knows you. We can tell your heart just by the email. And he wants you to have what you want. Unless that's Eddie. That's what I'm saying. You're stressing him out. All right. Thank you.

All right. That's the mail bag. Close it up. We got your email. I have the closed Bobby's mail bag. We have Lamont Landers in studio. This guy. Looks like Harry Potter, but sings like a 60 soul singer.

Even if he didn't not look like what he sounds like, he'd still be awesome. So I want to play, this is some of Lamont Landers playing live in our studio. Oh, I'm sitting on the dock of... I had more friends message me about this than any of the big performances that we have, like superstars. They're like, that dude is so good. And they don't even see him. They're just hearing them. Here's another club of them.

Found him on TikTok. Now, the weird thing is Eddie was like, I'm making dreams come true. with this guy. It's pretty crazy, man. How are you making dreams come true? I got a text yesterday. He said, hey, do you have a contact for that guy, Lamont Landers? I work for a label.

He's like, we've been listening to his music all day. We need to get a hold of this guy. They didn't say we want to sign them, but they're very interested. But how are you making a dream? I don't understand where you come into this and how you made a dream come true. Without my connection, Lamont and this label would never get to. Because you passed a contact over, you're making somebody's dream come true? Yeah, dude.

I'm the middle man. How cool is that? And without our show? You haven't done. Without our show, these people would have never heard them. This call, this email, this text,

whatever's going to happen between Lamont and the label is going to change Lamont's life. Well, Lamont already said he had some momentum and things and meetings happening. Not this one. It's mostly about you, you got a text and you're sending a contact. That's it.

You didn't book them on the show. You didn't find them. on TikTok. You ever seen the clip of Bob Marley when he takes one political leader and gets the other political leader that are fighting in Jamaica and makes him hold hands? No. Like, it was, there's turmoil in Jamaica. Did somebody reach out to Bob Marley and go, hey, meet me with that other political leader? No, I don't think so. Right. Okay. I just thought it was a little weird that it was you going, you're making dreams come true.

Bringing them together, man. This is amazing. If for some reason this ends up happening, I'm going to tell the story for the rest of my life. I mean, that will be cool. He didn't do anything. Yeah, I did. But they texted him together. Because they don't know my number. That's probably true too Yeah That's the craziest thing I've ever heard

You did nothing You bet I'm gonna be telling that story I did nothing I believe he's Oh my There's no story to tell They're gonna be like grandpa Tell that story about Lamont Landers

Oh yeah Lamont came into our studio And I connected him What did you do grandpa Did you find him? I got him the email No no Did you find him

Like out in the wild Grandpa No son that was Bobby Oh okay Was it your show Was it the Eddie show grandpa No it was the Bobby Bone show So did you reach out to him

And say Hey you should come in And set up a time Grandpa? That's not important. Oh, okay, great. You're the best, Grandpa. It's gonna be awesome. You're an idiot. That's hilarious.

Okay, I co-sign. Yeah, dude, come on. If you missed this performance, just watch them on our YouTube channel. Let's play, which one we want to play, right full? You're just sitting on the dock of the bay? You want to ask me? Oh, let's go to Eddie, who found...

Who's making dreams come true. Mr. Dreammaker. Go ahead. What do you want to do? Let's do the Al Greenwood. You know, we're going to sit on the dock of the Bay and stuff. Yeah, yeah. That's good.

Yeah, this is Amy and I show, Eddie. You shut up. All right. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Get home. There's something good. The Lincoln Park neighborhood in Jacksonville, Texas, did something really cool.

It was the second annual Neighbors Helping Neighbors Day. They organized this and they executed it. It would be perfect. What they do is they look for neighbors that need help. You need your lawn mode. You need a door replaced. You need a window painted. Whatever.

All the neighbors get together and they go help their neighbors out. So, and this lady, Luanne Williams, she's 50 years old. her back door was, it was broken. So all the neighbors got together, they replaced hers. I think it's really cool. I do like it. And HOA's, this is what we should do with the money. Well, there's really no money needed, though.

Oh, yeah. Lawn mow. But I'm saying if everybody gets together and goes, hey, I'm willing to help, what is it that you have need, that I have my specialty can fix? And then I also have this. I mean, it just kind of like a barter system. You've got the mower. You've got the weed either.

Oh, yeah. You got the ladder. You got the. So, Bones, what's your skill set? if you lived in this neighborhood, what could you offer? Oh. Like, seriously? Humor.

Let me think. No, I'm like, I'm not going to tell jokes and juggle while people do man work. I'll just stand on. Let me think. Let me think. If there was a neighborhood and they were fixing stuff or anything, what would. You know, I could probably, well, I mean, I could tear off shingles. I mean, a roof, but that's a whole thing.

That's not neighbors help with neighbors. But if you tear them off, somebody's going to have to put them back on. I've hung, I've hung siding before, so I could probably, Oh, that's tough. I could probably do a piece or two. We got lawn maintenance? Yeah, anybody could, I could do that. Really, I could probably help with someone's router.

Their Wi-Fi? I'll plug it for 10 seconds and then... Exactly. Blow on it? Yeah. That's what I do. Or just call the number. Hey, what do I do?

Can you reset this? Okay. I've got a lot of options here, buddy. Thanks for asking, though. You could hunt. I made me feel bad about this segment. You know, what you can do now, though, really is YouTube anything. This is broken, YouTube it, and then you can just try to fix it.

That's what I do. And then I mess it up and I have my wife call somebody who can fix it. And it costs more. Sure. Yeah, that's it. Good story. I mean, I feel worse about myself, but good story, Eddie. Oh, I'm sorry.

That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Elder versus Millennial. It's Eddie versus Morgan. Eddie will get questions that millennial should know the answer to. Morgan will get the elder questions. Which, by the way, when the millennial loses, we switch millennials now. Okay.

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've seen 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 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. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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, a 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John Hope, Ryan from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

On the phone right now, it is Nancy. Nancy, good morning. Welcome to the show. Well, I was actually, I'm kind of a new listener, and I first want to say that I absolutely love you. And I want to know why you're called Bobby Bones. Exactly. Why are you called Bollone? It's no good reason.

I just do that. So the real story of my name, because my real name is Bobby. but when I was a 17, almost 18 year old kid, I was begging to work at a radio station. No, no, no, no, no. And when I was hired, I was hired to clean, not be on the air and switch out a countdown CD. It was the Rick D's Weekly Top 40.

And so that was my only job. Well, one of the guys got fired because he was stealing station equipment, like weekend DJ equipment, because there was also a mobile DJ service at the small station I worked at. And so they fired him, so they needed someone to go on the air immediately. I was like, I can do it.

They're like, okay, well, we don't have anybody else, so I guess you're going to be the guy. And your name is going to be Bobby Bones or Bobby Z. And I remember thinking those are both terrible names. But I don't know with Bones, because at least it sounded like a human. And so that's it. There is no story. I just feel like a pirate sometimes.

I still get embarrassed. If someone's never heard of me or the show, and someone's like, hey, I want you to meet Bobby Bones. I'm like, oh, God. It's just a weird name And it's so mean I don't think about it a lot But I still do sometimes

And people mess it up a lot And they call me Bobby Jones How long did it take you to get used to being called Bones Like Because I mean that's just never been your name So it must take a while to get used to that I have okay But now I've been known as that longer

Than I was not known as that True Because I was 18 when Bobby Bones became a thing I'm 43 now So you know 25 years Yeah wow 25 years and my name is Bones. So, but that's, that's it.

I mean, there's no great story about it. There was a whole story about T-Bone when I was younger, but it has nothing to do with Bobby Bones, oddly. I was wrestling and I was in seventh grade. It was wrestling at school. Yeah. But we were wrestling like on a mat, off-season football. No leotard.

That was wearing a lot. I was wearing shorts. That's the wrestling team. Okay, I always pictured that you had on one of those. wrestling things and it ripped. No, it's just a pair of shorts and it ripped. And as I was wrestling, the, I mean, my seventh grade version of myself came out and I didn't know it and I just kept wrestling. And everybody's like pointing, ah!

And I'm like, I know I'm killing, I'm kicking his butt. I was getting taught. But anyway, that, they call me T-bone. That was traumatizing. I hated it. I was already picked on anyway at school. And imagine being a seventh grader and living with that with every older kid, every, oh, miserable. But one did not roll into the other.

The other oddly. But in a real chromatic way, I guess it did. It was meant to be. It was meant, hey, Tyler Hubbard and BB Rex said it at best.

It was meant to be, it'll be, it'll be, baby, it's T-bone. I think BK. I don't think he's saying it, though. No, he didn't, okay. But he was there. Yeah, I think he was like,

good job, Tyler. Like maybe wrote it with him. I don't know. But that's a story. Thank you for asking that question. I appreciate that. Let's go with the big songs. Number three in country music,

Jason Aldeen, try that in a small town. Number two, Lainey Wilson, watermelon moonshine. Number one, Parma Lee, girl in mine. I didn't know that was them. What? Oh, so good. I brought it to you like months ago. I know, but when I hear it, I always think it's Thomas Red.

Oh, it's so good, dude. You sure didn't, my mom? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I just thought it was like a Thomas Red or something. It does kind of sound like his style a little bit. Yeah, those poor guys. I like them.

So good. I just can't, they just can't differentiate. I know, but they've been putting out music for so long. They may have a lot of great songs. I just can't differentiate. I got you. The lead singer is a really good singer and I like those guys, but his voice sounds super familiar. It's just like a cousin that you've hung out with that you kind of forgot their name.

But you're like, that's him. Man, Sue's Kid. I see what you're said. But yeah, that's a good song. Number one pop song, Taylor Swift, Cruel Summer. Number one hip-hop song, Doja Cap, Paints Town Red. said what I said. I'd rather be famous and stay.

Thank you. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So the psychiatrist was sharing his rule of 12. And it's what he uses to stay calm when it seems like everything is going wrong. 12. I'm already stressed out having to remember 12 things. Right. You're going to go through the 12th?

Oh, my God. Well, listen, I thought the same thing. Like, I'm like, how do you keep up with like, okay, this is the fourth thing that went wrong today and the fifth? But he puts it in his phone, like you keep in the notes part. He just keeps a running list. Like, for example, he recently went on a family vacation and lots of stuff was going wrong. And he kept track of it. But he was like, you know what?

I haven't gotten to 13 yet. So I'm staying calm. So until it hits 13, you're supposed to act like it's all cool? Yeah. Terrible. So, yes, I went to 12 things going wrong. Why not make it a rule of 100? You just never freak out.

And then I'm going to get angry or scream or yell. Playing chess. He's my checkers. Become a jerk when there's 13 things. But his point is you rarely get to even 13. Of course. Right. That's a lot of things going wrong.

You're practicing staying calm, so therefore by the time you do get to the 13th, you likely won't freak out because you have all these moments of practicing staying calm. This is what I would do with that. I would modify the list. I would build a pyramid kind of. One and two, don't freak out. Three, four, five. You're allowed to do that. Moderately freak out.

Six and seven and eight. Ah! P. Jump. P. Yeah, all in that one. Okay, okay, okay. You know, 9, 10, 11.

Break something. Sure. 12, 13, 14. Hit someone. Yeah. 15, 16, 17. Run your car off the road. Okay.

I would build a that. Good. So then I would at least know where I was supposed to go and what I was supposed to do. That sounds dumb. Where to get a doctorate? Actually, no. Be better kind of honorary like mine. No.

I will say, I'm proud of myself. I think we should acknowledge when we want to freak out and then we stay calm. Because I almost did last night. that something was happening while we were doing stuff with the kids like dinner and studying and whatnot. And I almost freaked out because they were being so difficult. And then I just took a deep breath and I was like, you know what? I'm not going to do this. Hey, you're acknowledged.

That's good. Thank you. Because then I'll reward my brain with like I didn't have to scream. That's not only one. So you got 11 to go before you're allowed to. I tell my boys all the time too. Like I'm about to freak out of you don't stop. And they're like, oh, okay.

All right. Cool. We're good now. I think sometimes my kids want to see me freak out. Okay, okay. All right, what else? So separation marriage is a thing, and it's becoming more and more popular, and pretty much it means that you... Is it like fat skinny?

Black white? No, it's that you are married. Tall shorty? But you never share a home, and you sort of only see each other on the weekends. Is that married? No. I mean, legal... Yeah, because they're married.

I hear you. Legally. So would you only be doing it for tax reasons? Couples in separation marriages say they enjoy. having each other's love and support, but they also like to maintain an individual lifestyle away. No, I don't think it means. They ate a lot of pineapples, you know what I'm saying? Upside down,

upside down. They're hooking up with other people, Amy. That's what that is. No, that's not what this is. You're out of your mind if you go, no, like, you're out of your mind. They get to live their life every other day. Open marriage. This is called separation.

That's just the name I call it. It means you're married, but you live in separate houses. I just don't know what you do with the kids. In this particular household, this guy that's talking about it, the kids, lives with a mom full time, of course. But I would probably do like, alternate. I think you're a little naive here, but anyway, go ahead.

Okay. Eric Church isn't a fan of political songs in country music, especially the songs that artists put out as quote, weapons to motivate whatever political side they're trying to push. And he was talking to Esquire magazine about it, and he's just like, you know, he wants songs that will last,

not just define one particular moment in time politically. It seems like a pretty generic thing to say that nobody can argue with. I love when people do that. Everyone agrees with it. Yeah. I love songs. I hate songs and make people do bad things. You know? If the song's going to like influence somebody

and make them stab a dog, I don't want that. You're like, you know what? I felt that. I felt that Eric Church. Like, they're pretty generic and you can't argue, so there you go. What is Richmond north of Richmond? Oh, what's that dude? That's the guy with a big red beard.

Yeah, Oliver, what? Oliver. That dude's crazy to me because when he was like, I'm not playing this show because tickets are more than $20, but you charge them $100,000 to play the show or whatever the rate was. How much do you think tickets are going to be? Do you think they're all a nickel? Like they're going to pay you $100,000 or whatever the fee was and it's going to be a nickel for you to play the show? And I don't like politicians stealing our money. $100,000, please.

And I only want tickets to be a nickel. That ain't how it works. I didn't say anything about that then, but I've been. Well, he's in the woods. He doesn't know that. Whatever. Whatever. Okay.

I mean, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Our Willda Whiteside, 98 years old, and her husband,

102-year-old Clovis Whiteside, are being honored as the longest married couple in Arkansas celebrating 84 years of marriage. They got married in July of 1939. That's amazing. That's wild. The couple from Whitehall met when she was nine, he was 13. They were married when she was 13, he was 17.

Oh. And that's the thing. That's the thing. Don't cancel them, guys. They're old, okay? But yeah, throughout their marriage, they raised 12 children. They've provided a safe haven for other local children in need. Recognize his community pillars, the white sides emphasize the importance of faith, love, and generosity.

Generosity is a huge part of what she loves about him. He's always trying to help people. And if he asks him, he says he loves 99% of her. I wonder about the other one. Yeah, what's the 1%. She probably leaves a mess or something. Yeah, because the hormones are gone at that point, right? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, so that part of that would be difficult. I mean, you know. Why are you saying hormones are a problem? No, hard to do. In me. Oh, your hormones. Yeah, I guess that's the secret.

Wow. Do you think that 80 years from now, is or so, that they're going to be like telling a story about a couple that got married at 25 and they're like, God, can you believe they got married to 25? Like, that's what they used to do back then. Yes. Maybe not 25, but it is... 21.

Obviously, gradually getting older and more acceptable to be married later, so yeah. So eventually it'll be like... I think it would be four cyborgs like us sitting in a room. Can you believe it that they are... They join their USB ports and next thing you know. Yes. Wow. Thank you.

All right, good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right, let's go to the voicemail here. I have them. Morning Corny for Amy. Did you hear about what happened to the snowman when the sun came out? She had a total meltdown.

Oh. Hey. Okay. Lunchbox is not here. We're going to do the investigative morning corny. We're going to bring in guest cornea Ray. Okay. Ray Mundo, so you know how it works?

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 strife. 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. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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, a 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

If you want to know if someone's a psychopath and they're secretly hiding their psychopath from you, instead of watch them whenever you yawn and maybe if they yawn. So here's the story. People with psychopathic tendencies are less prone to contagious yawning and will also fight from doing it, sometimes not knowing they're fighting from doing it. Yawning after seeing someone else yawn is linked to empathy and bonding. What if I don't yawn after people and I'm just now realizing maybe I'm a psychopath? Oh, weird.

I'm not trying to hide it. Maybe I just don't know. What if psychopaths read the news and they see this and they're like, oh, I better yawn after everybody yawns? That's a double psychopath. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. If it looks like they're forcing a yawn after you yawn, you need to keep one eye open when you sleep. They're like, oh, shoot, I have to yawn.

Yeah, yawning after someone else yawns is linked to empathy and bonding. But when psychopaths are selfish, manipulative, fearless, and lack empathy, they don't yawn. That's the whole deal. So it's not contagious, like we've heard for years. It is contagious. It is unless your brain has psychopathic tendencies, which is different from, like, sociopathic tendencies. Psychopathic tends to be a little more aggressive. Oh.

I don't know the difference between socio and psycho. Socio likes to go out. Have a good time. And psycho likes a stab. Dang, okay. It's more than that. Which one was? Dahmer?

Psycho. Okay. All right. Now I have clarification. Thank you. You can be psycho and socio, but not all socios are psycho. Because psycho's like top of the mountain, like crazy. Yeah.

That helps. That's from personality and individual differences, a research journal. Something else I wanted to talk about was air tagging your kids. So we've talked about chipping your kids before. Not like a dog where you put in their skin, but put it. put it in a bag of theirs or, you know, do you let them know? This whole story came out. It was on Fox News.

And Apple does come out and say, don't put them on people. But they have to say that because for a while, people were getting tracked and they didn't know it. So then they had to take and modify the app. So if one is following you, it tells you on your phone. There's a tracker near you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but now a lot of parents are using this to keep tabs on their kids. And not only that, other companies are selling wearable accessories that you can put them in.

I have them for my dogs. Yeah. Because I chip, put the dogs, and in their collar, they both have an apple tag right there. But they're making it for humans now. So you have to wear the tag. So if you're a kid and you're seven and you're wearing something with it, you know what that is. Yeah. But you probably don't care at seven.

Yeah, but the parents are they disclosing that they're... That's what my point is. That's different. If you see it, if a kid's wearing like a necklace with an air tag and you see it, they know they're being tracked. Yeah. But the question is, do you have to tell them? In what age do you have to tell them? Yeah, you tell them what I would.

would say you tell them whatever of the age like just that something needs can be communicated and hey this is so I know where you are I care about you or want to know what's going on I want to keep you safe I'm okay I'm older and I don't need you to know where I can track it what are you kidding cell phones

Life 360 track I know exactly where you're already on it like three ways if one goes down you're there with the backup Amy's got a generator when her power goes out she can still track the kids so you're cool with it but you need to tell them yes I'm cool with it they just everybody should be where, especially as they, especially if they're older teenagers, you should definitely tell them they're being tracked. Oh, but do you track older teenagers?

As long as they're aware of, they're cool with it. Yeah. No older teenagers are going to be cool with it. Not one. Not one's going to be cool with it. But they are. They're going to put on a ceiling fan somewhere and walk off and leave it. Just so it keeps moving.

I guess they are with the Live 360 app. However, I guess they can go in there and turn off their location services. Eddie? No, look, the little ones, they don't need to know the difference. Like a four-year-old, I think that's important because my four-year-old loves. to just go places. And an air tech would be great. Like, what if we're at a park and he just takes off? Like, whoa, my gosh, where is he? It's like a dog.

Where is he? But he needs it for his own safety. For sure. But a teenager, like, really, like, that's you spine on them. But that's, you definitely don't tell them. If you use it, if you use it, you don't trust them and you don't tell them that you have it on that. But doesn't it pop up on their phone? Because everybody has an iPhone, basically. Oh, what do you make them have an Android?

Not only, am I going to secretly track you? You must have an Android. I, oh, man. I feel like I don't know what most kids have, but I feel like they all have iPhones. I feel like my daughter would say, I'm good. I just don't need a phone.

Oh, instead of an Android, she just didn't know. I don't know. I feel like that's how some kids are. I mean, they're so ridiculous. Like, we got her like a smaller phone and she said that some kids were making fun of her for it.

And I'm like, what in the world? That was me. I'm sorry. I was like, you have that stupid phone. Great. Thanks. Let's play Bailey Zimmerman, rocking a hard place.

Call us if you want, 877. 77 Bobby. Appreciate you being here. 877.77 Bobby. It's time for the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. Netflix is going to raise prices again. Here we go. See where they get us. It's like, we're just raising it a nickel. Then they're raising the nickel every day. Yeah, it's a lot. Then we're nickeled out, man. So what is it now? Netflix is planning to increase the cost of its streaming service yet again. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, they will issue the price,

hike a few months after the Hollywood actor strike-ins, which could happen in the coming weeks. And they've kind of already agreed as to why and how it's going to end. So they say last year they raised it, the ad-free tiered of 1549 a month and the premium plan in 1999 a month. They also had the $6.99 a month ad-supported plan. But it doesn't give details on how much they're going to raise them all too. But I would imagine it's going to be a buck or two bucks because it's not so much that would make you go, well, I'm going to cancel my net.

Netflix, but it's enough that when they do it three times, it's substantial. Oh, yeah. So, are they saying they're doing it? Are they saying they're doing it because of the strike or just? No, no, they do it all. Every three months, that's the story. Netflix raises the prices. Another nickel.

Well, and then Hulu goes up, and then Max goes up. Yeah. And then. It's costing a lot of money to make shows and making a lot of shows. And there's a lot. I was reading a thing about how many TV shows there are. They're all just trying to exist. Not even so much thrive, because I think only,

Netflix, maybe one other streamers making money right now, but the point isn't to just make money, it's to be the one that lives when everything else falls off. Yeah. So they're all just heavily investing into that. Travis Kelsey says the NFL is overdoing it with Taylor Swift coverage. Okay. Bro, that's you. Okay.

Bro, you started this. That's him. I like Travis Kelsey, but he started it all. I try to get Taylor Swift to take my number. She's the... Don't put her in a box. And they keep talking about it in their podcast. Yes.

Yes, and she's with his mom. And, of course, just eat it up. Love it for now. It's great. I mean, it's annoying if you're just there to watch the football game, but it's really great for people who just love Taylor Swift and don't really watch football. And it's probably a ratings bonanza for the network that have Taylor Swift there at those games. But yeah, for him to do that, that would be like, you should, I'd be like me going,

you know what, we should just stop talking about me in the show. You'd be like, well, but. You started this. Yeah, and the name of it. So, yeah, it's him. started it. Aren't there numbers of like Super Bowl type numbers, people that are tuning in? No. They're not that high. Okay. But they're high. Yeah, they're very high, but they're not near that. Okay. Yeah. No. Super Bowl, I think everybody watches. Yeah, and everybody's not going to watch

for a three-second glimpse of Taylor Swift's six times. But yes, but no, they're not super bowl type numbers. Okay. Florida parents welcome their third baby girl born on the same day as the other two daughters, exactly the same day. Wow. How do they do that? Are they doing it on the same day every year? They have to. Like purposefully. Like, all right, here's the count. There's an X. You know what that means? We got to make it happen. But even then, it's not an exact number. I agree. Unless you induce.

But all three births were natural, unplanned, and no C-sections. Wow. That's where it is wild. All three. Same birthday. Easy for the dad to remember. Oh, yeah. All those birthdays. By the way, I have a show on Saturday here in Nashville.

It's my final Nashville show for my comedically inspirational tour. And it's been sold out for a while, but they just released like six pair of of hold tickets, called the O tickets. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, crap. Yeah, oh, crap, that's good. So if you go to Bobbybones.com, they're up, they're on the floor, but they're released now, so there you go. Sunday's broadcast average 27 million viewers.

So it is the most watch a game since the Super Bowl, but not close to the Super Bowl. Okay. All right, moving on, firefighters are called to a raging house. Blaze, it turns out, it's just an amazing Halloween decoration. I mean, that's baller, if that's the story about your house. Like if you put a bunch of work into it and you're not breaking any code and they have to come because it looks so real

that's pretty baller. That's from the New York Post. Fire Department, they were called to a house because of a confirmed structure fire and they got there and it was just an amazing Halloween display. Wow. Video provided by the homeowner to the fire department showed the extravagant setup which made the house look like a potential crime scene.

The decor makes it appear as though the house is really on fire with faux flames lighting up. It's all inside the house. Okay, well this is going to be really unfortunate it if the house does accidentally catch on fire. The house who cried a wolf? Yeah. But it's all inside through the windows because it's not coming out.

So it looks like inside the house. Yeah. So this is not going to be the first and only phone call. I feel like people are going to be concerned. Now they're going to light it on fire and try to burn it up from the inside of those people. They know firefighters won't come. Or somebody's going to knock on the door. Be like, hey, your house is on fire like every day.

I think it makes the news. I think now everybody knows. New York Post. It does look cool, though. An early Christmas poll found 89% of parents are planning. planning to buy a toy for at least one adult this year. A toy? For an adult?

Yeah, I would say video games are a toy. Oh, okay. I would say, I don't think. Oh, Barbie? Huh. Would you buy that for an adult? Well, the movie was a hit. I got you this Barbie.

I don't know, but I'm thinking about you guys. I don't know if I'd buy you a toy. I'd buy Eddie a golf club. That's not a toy. Bop it. You would buy me Bop it? That's a fun game. Well, we played on the show.

Yeah. I'm trying to think of what you'd buy us. I mean, when we do our Christmas special where we pick a category, we could always do toys. Oh, okay. Think about that as one of them. Hulu's only murders in the building will return for season four. Just finished season three a couple nights ago. That's the new one?

Yeah. I forgot that was out. It's good. Okay. It's good. Only murders in the building has been renewed for a fourth season on Hulu. That's Steve Martin and Martin Short and Selena Gomez. She's really likable to me because of that show.

She's really good. Hollywood Reporter has that. Pretty cool. Hanging out with your less attractive friends makes you more attractive. If you want to be seen as more attractive, then you really are. Make sure you got an ugly crew of about two or three others. That's terrible. Social experts say how attractive you look strongly depends on the attractiveness of the people around you.

It's especially true with height. Shorter friends will make you appear two to three inches taller. Experts found that nearly every test group in a below average looking group had one person that was considered far more attractive than they really are because they were surrounded by uglies. So, Amy, this is what you need to do. That's terrible. Why? So when you go out, they're like, oh my gosh, look at her.

Hey, I think you can just go by yourself. That's okay. Listen, this story is weird. It's science, Amy. It's from psychological science. There you go. That looks are relative, but like you as guys, have y'all ever done that and you're like, okay, I need to have all short friends.

No, but we've fallen for it. Wait a minute. Is that why I'm not? I'm your friend. That's why I thought I was your friend. We've fallen for it with girls when we were younger. You'd see a group of girls. There's a bunch of them.

And then it just doesn't matter. Whoever the hottest one is like the one you're like, oh, I need that. Yeah, it's true. Unfortunately. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I believe it. It's science. Hot mouth solution.

Try this. If you love spicy food, but sometimes your mouth gets too hot, drink milk. It's the best way to burn to cool a burning mouth. The other thing is ice cream. Yep. No ice cream in your mouth. just a cold milk. Yeah.

Frizen milk. That's from WebMD. Here's some fashion advice for guys this fall. Experts say to tie more sweaters around your shoulders. No, we're not doing that. No. Why not? It used to be cool in the 80s and it's back.

It's both a great way to add texture and depth to an otherwise simple look. It's also a practical measure for if it's kind of cool at some parts of the day, warmer other parts of the day, you wear your sweater, boom, boom, on and off. Yeah, but then you're like that frat boy from like the 80s. But that's from the 80s. It's a new look. Okay. Finally, the Big Money Players Comedy Hour podcast and broadcast.

I am hosting this with Will Ferrell, and so it's a bunch of clips and the most popular podcast hosts. Listen tonight, 7 p.m. local time on an IHart Country station. So that's pretty cool.

Those were Bobby's Big. Stories. Let's talk to Benjamin in Oklahoma City real quick, who's called the show. We appreciate that. Hey Benjamin, what's up, buddy? Hey, good morning, see you. Morning.

Hey, good morning. I just wanted to call in and just really say thank you and how much I appreciate you to Bobby. Four years ago, I had my daughter, and at that point in time, I did struggle with alcohol a little bit. And so I wanted to change my life, and I read his book, Bailing to You Bell. I got to meet Bobby once at an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game, and, you know, it reinforced the genuine kind of person who wasn't in that book. And with that, I wanted to say thank you because I just said, I wanted to say thank you. to put my thousand days sober. Wow, let's go.

That's awesome, dude. Is that thousand days? How big is that chip? Do you have a chip? No, I didn't do anything with alcohol synonymous or anything like that. It was just all self-driven. Well, good for you. So here's her what I do that.

Ray, good as a dress. I'm going to send him a bag of chips as a gesture. And eat the chips. Don't just like stare at them and don't just like, I'm going to send you a bag of chips. And from us, it's like, this is our version of a chip to you. We're proud of you. That's awesome.

And there's probably a time where you know. Never thought that could happen. And now one day at a time, as you know, one day at a time, it has happened. And it's always going to be hard, but good for you. It's got to be hard to be worth something. So I'm going to send you a bag of chips, okay? Absolutely. And also, from bottom of my heart and my wife, we'd like to say thank you to you as well.

And since I met you at a Thunder game, we have pride of pizza for Thunder Stadium. And so we'd love to invite you and your wife out to a game sometime. Wow. I'll bring you chips then. There we go. I will buy you a bag of chips at the Thunder game. Thank you very much. That's super kind of you.

Stay on the phone there. That's really cool. Congratulations to you. Lunchbox has been out with COVID all week. He's on the phone right now. Lunchbox, let's do a medical check-in. How you feeling, buddy? Good morning.

How are you doing? Sounds good. Yeah, that's good. Why you're not? What's up? I'm doing so much better. Doing so much better. But I was told if I have 1% sickness that I better not come in.

And I don't know. I checked with my doctor and he said, ah, you may have 1% so I stayed home. 1%? Okay. I felt too when I asked him that question, he started to sound sick again.

I mean, aren't we all 1% sick? Hey, it is what it is. He's on the phone. Not in again. Do you think, I don't know, you think you'll be in tomorrow by any chance? You know what I mean? Tomorrow may be half a person sick,

so I'll probably take tomorrow too, you know. Just to be safe. Yeah. Just to be safe. Good for you. You're really thinking about us here. I'm a team player and I don't want anybody on the team to go down. Okay.

Yeah, you're a good dude. I want to play this voicemail. This is about Lunchbox. Go ahead. Hey, lunchbox. You should be happy because you're on TV and a big star now. Just saw you on the return of Tanya Tucker with Brandy Carlisle. It's Aaron on Netflix now.

Congratulations, buddy. Can you hear that call? Yeah, I'm on Netflix. You don't know about it? I didn't know about it. Did you not know about it? I don't know about it. I don't know who Taden.

Tucker is. Oh my gosh. Stop. Do you have Netflix? I do. I'm back on Netflix, yeah. Okay. Did you pay, because you lost it because you refused to pay for it.

You were stealing it. Yeah, I was taking my in-laws' Netflix account, but no, I am not paying for it. Who's paying for it now? Sister-in-law. He just bounces around. So, okay, well, there is Lunchbox in Tanya Tucker. He's interviewing her at the, looks like the, I-heartedly. country, no, CMT

music awards? Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that. I mean, I don't know who Chania Tucker is. That's not true. Yes, you do. Guys, I'm telling you, he doesn't. We all think it's crazy because he works here and he should, but he doesn't. There's no way. Does he get paid for this? Like, what this is, I mean, it's Netflix. I don't even know what he's doing in the show. I'm surprised

you. Did you sign a waiver? I don't know. Who's that? Morgan, do you know anything about this? Morgan, do you know anything about this? Yeah, so I was there when this happened. They did have a film crew with them when they came in and they asked like, hey, are you guys okay with us filming?

So they did ask the room. And it's just a clip of him like interviewing Tannie. And he did say like when she was about to walk in, he straight up looked at me and goes, who is this? And I had to be like, look at your sheet. Is it on the camera? Is it on the show that he said that? No, I don't think it's on the show.

I think it's just like a small clip of him interviewing her. Well, he's consistent. That's awesome. Lunchbox you're on Netflix. Man, big deal. You know what I'm saying? You don't know what you're saying because you haven't seen it either. So report back tomorrow

Or whenever you come in again You don't think you'll be here tomorrow Okay, yeah, I'll try to find it What's it called? Tanya Tucker Just search that on there The little hourglass, Tanya Tucker I gotta watch the whole thing For Induce to fire me

That's probably worth it Yeah, it'd be worth it Okay, we gotta employ the month real quick I know it's a fifth He's been out all week I've been for him to come back in So we could do this Because Eddie and lunchbox are back in the game

But there's no way he can win this He's not even here You gotta be present to win But it's for the month of September. He was here. He was here. Yeah, if you win, you get to pick your prize. Some people die and they get in the Hall of Fame.

I mean, they're not present to be there. Yeah, good fun. Spend the Will of Cash. You can do self-promotion or you can block somebody else if you win. So here are the finalists. The final three are Abby, Morgan. What? And Eddie.

Oh, okay. So, what? Sorry, Amy. No, I'm not. This is nothing to do with me. It just wasn't your month. I'm not making a noise because of me. I'm making a noise because when it was Abby and Morgan, you go, what?

What? I just feel like Abby's in there every month. Yeah, Abby works really hard. Well, so do we? Yeah, Abby might go harder. Okay, so. I just literally just answers the phones, man. You don't even know what she does.

Yeah, that's okay. No one knows what anybody does. But answer the phone. No, we know what you do, trust us. Abby, do you want to read your speech? Then Morgan, then Eddie. Yeah. Go ahead.

Abby, if you win, this is your speech. Go ahead. Okay, well, I think I should win because unlike some people on the show, I know how to meet a deadline and without excuses. After having a week to write a song, I did, and a lot of content came from it. Like, from making the Wichita News, Dan & Shea critiquing it, being spotlight artists of the week on the countdown and more. Plus, if I do an employee of the month, I will block someone. Let's go! Oh, I like that.

I like that. Wow. Okay. That would hurt him so bad. Or she could look at you. She's talking about lunchbox. Morgan, if you were to win, what is your speech? So it's been a really big month for me, guys. I've had all kinds of tea to spill.

I got bit by a spider. I took over Lunchbox's job on the streets. I've spilled a lot of tea, and I was even willing to go on a date with someone Lunchbox set me up with. So for that alone, I think I should get employee of the month. I will also block somebody. Let's go.

Wow, wow, wow. Wow. I love that you're going to tell me what you're going to win if you win. It might affect voting. Okay. Eddie, you're the finalist as well. Go ahead. Guys, guys, guys.

Saving money and making money is what I did for the listeners. All right. I told our listeners about unclaimed property that they may have. They go to a website, whatever. I made $3,000 doing this. You can too. I also told people about dental work, how to get it for cheap. You let the students do it.

Guys, this is what I do for our listeners. And if I win this, I'm keeping the money. Got it. I'm going to spin the wheel. Okay. Eddie, you did not win. Okay. Well, that was just a waste of time.

Yeah. The winner of Employ the Month for September, because we're now in October, is Morgan. So let me read some of the things. She, first of all, told us about a procedure that may be responsible for bringing her smell back. Yeah, the lymphatic. She was like, wow, it's kind of working a little bit. So other listeners.

She talked about how a guy offered her to be his sugar baby. Oh, yeah. He or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She helped explain the talk back feature on IHart Radio so our listeners can talk right to us. She also, the best bits of the week podcast, hit one million downloads for the month of September. She's been, what? We were all guests on that.

But who's the common denom? She's the host of it, though. Yes. So our winner is Morgan, everybody. Okay. Morgan, so. Hey, Mike, how long are they blocked for? It's one month?

One month? That's crazy. You've chosen to block somebody? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I definitely want to. Morgan, for employment. Lunchbox, anything you want to say real quick before we, but Morgan pick her thing?

Oh, no, those were all some good bits. I mean, the bits were good. I mean, I can't really argue about that. I thought you were going to, you know, give it to Abby just because she had one little bit about her song or something. So you still take a shot at Abby, even though she lost? But, yeah, I thought, Morgan, you know, when you say that, like, wow, one million down on it's pretty impressive.

All right. Is he sucking up to her right now? I have no idea what's going on. Because that was a weird reaction. Morgan, what would you like to do? Well, I mean, it's between two people that I would like to block. It's lunchbox already. Oh, I know why he did that.

He's saying this so he doesn't get blocked. That's right. Got it. Do you want to say something to suck up to me? No, you know why he's so right about the million downloads? You deserve that, Morgan. That's really cool. And good luck on your dating life.

I think you're going to find someone really soon. Morgan, who will you be blocking? This is going well. Well, Eddie, you know why I would like to block you right now. But I think I'm going to go with Lunchbox because he tried to set me up with somebody who has a freaking girlfriend. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, lunchbox thing you want to say? Wow, you know, Morgan, I will not be coming on best bits for the next month. You know what? Your downloads will be going down. All right. That means I just won't win October. That's cool, I'll take another week off. Wait, what?

A month. Yeah, but if I'm already going to win October, I took the first week October off, might as well take next week. No, you're not taking it off. You're sick, you say. Oh, yeah. Well, no, I am sick, but I'm saying I might as well go and, you know. Lick some door handles. Okay.

More germs. All right. Thank you, lunchbox. Sorry, you're blocked for a week. Morgan, congratulations. Thank you.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh, boy. Morgan, who's the one that goes to does your food world? We're in Las Vegas and I get up early and travel halfway across the city. And I get blocked? Okay. Okay, you do. You did do stuff with me and I'm not disqualifying.

Hold on. Can you turn out his telephone mic thing? You're a great employee sometimes lunchbox. But you did try and set me up with a guy who has a girlfriend. Yes. And I cannot left that. I agree. That's a bad one. Okay, lunchbox, get better, buddy.

We'll see him. Oh, we won't see him tomorrow. I said he's not coming in tomorrow. Right, another week. And he says it's not coming in next week either. Crap. Okay. 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, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and social. 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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 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. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, start.

starting with the mindset shifts, too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network,

on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Your phone go off yesterday? Oh, yeah. Everybody's phone go off yesterday? Oh, yeah. Anybody a big believer in the conspiracies about your phone going off yesterday? What's that? No, I don't know.

Oh, good for you guys. You didn't even fall into the trap. So a lot of people said by a lot of people, different theories of, all right, everybody's communication goes down for 30 seconds, 45 seconds, because the government's testing out the EAS alert that in that 30, 45 seconds, it was kind of like free time for the government to get away with something. That theory I wasn't in on. I didn't believe it.

Another theory was that because the government said they were going to keep testing even after that signal happened, that it was in some way the government monitoring, doing surveillance on it, they already can. Even if we don't know it. They can get our phones easy, I'm sure, and do. Another one was, and this happened, this was a theory after it happened yesterday. Because a lot of people were saying they were going to turn their phones off. because they didn't want it happening on their phone because they didn't know what was going on.

Okay. And we all got the EAS tone. I believe it was like 1.30 Eastern, 1230 Central is when they said it was going to happen. But it ended up popping up like three minutes early. And that they did that on purpose because they knew a lot of people were going to turn their phones off.

So they did it early so they could surveil or whatever their plan was, they still got the folks that were trying to not get got. That one kind of sounds real. How about, yeah. It was weird that it went off early. Yeah.

Because if they're going, we're going to do it this exact time and they don't do it that exact time. That's a bit bizarre. But it seemed to work. Everybody I know had the phone went off. It probably is what they say it is. They want to test it. But here's the other theory.

Theory four, why are they doing this right now? Something big and bad about to happen. They're giving all those senators and Congresspeople, these bag phones for emergency. They are? Mm-hmm. And so now they're testing this. And so is it because they know a spaceship? You just looked up in the sky.

Well, they've come from space. Aliens come from under the ground. But you looked up. But it can be a virus. It can be anything. You looked up again. What do you know, bones? Why now?

Or is it just that they're like, we need to make sure this is all good? Yeah, being proactive. I hear you. It's not really like our government to be proactive. Well. Now that I've told you those theories, you freaked out a little bit. That last one kind of gets me. The last one is getting me.

Meaning they know something. Because it's kind of like we just kind of continue on with our day. And there's all kinds of things happening around us that we have no idea. Well, like it could have been any day that they're like, hey, we should probably check our system. Sure. And I'm sure they planned. They planned this week's ago. Because we talked about it here.

Like, hey, watch out. There's going to be an EAS alert that comes over your phones. But I've never had that happen before where they checked everybody all over the country at one time. And we've had phones for 15 years. Was there a theory that maybe they did that so they can communicate? with other beans out there? So they're sending out like a signal while it's happening? Correct, and they use all our cell phones to send a powerful signal.

No, that's a dumb one. Okay. Yeah, it's pretty stupid. All right, yeah. No. Because that'll be a good one, dude. I feel like maybe they could have just been in a meeting and one day they're like, you know what, we should probably test everybody at once.

That's probably the real thing. I'm not really allowed to talk about it, but I got fine a million bucks for a situation with a similar situation. I can't say more. I would love to say more, but of all the theories, the one I think is probably the most accurate is where they're making. just making sure that maybe there's a new head or someone's like, hey, we should just make sure it's all on the same, just in case.

But my second favorite theory is something bad's about to happen. And they're just making sure because they know something's coming. And they could know weeks out. I mean, they could have gotten someone. They have a secret time machine. They could have known for a long time. November. You think the government has a secret time machine, possibly?

I don't know, man. I don't know what I know, man. Bobby doesn't even know if this is real. He could be in a simulation. I know. Yep. But what's crazy, though, is we were together, and our phones, went off at different times, depending on what service.

So we thought it was who was going to die first. Like they were sending the message in order of like most important first. And then if you got it second. Okay. I was at an appointment and ours went off the same time. We're letting social media affect us and conspirators. I do. I hear all these.

I watched one last night about people coming out of a manhole and that's who shot JFK. What? And then there was a guy who went to a restaurant 20 minutes later covered in mud, but it was a really dry day. and he would. In Dallas? That was not in Lunchbox's report. It was not.

Well, I saw it on TikTok last night and I'm like, I don't know that I believe this, but there's just so many ways that if you want to be crazy, you can find a way to make you crazy. Or you can just make up anything. Yeah, but somebody will believe you.

Yes, but somebody's to me. And then I'm crazy. You're the one watching. He believes it. So there's every opportunity to be crazy. If you're even like just teetering on being crazy, there's plenty of opportunity for you to get in one of these little idiot boxes.

And I was watching JFK when I was like, dang. That's good stuff, though. JFK stuff theories are great. Because you know they're hiding something from us. Oh, yeah. But, I mean, all those guys are dying, and I'm like, no one's telling them,

no one's going to come out and tell the truth? And also the theory is he was shot because he wanted to give up the report and make it public about aliens. Because he had just been briefed on that. I'd never heard that one. There you go. Okay. Leave you with it.

Yesterday, Amy, we were at the University of Cincinnati. We were yesterday afternoon doing my football show called Too Much Access. and you can go to bobby bones.com to watch it. We're at Arkansas this week, but we were shooting it. And the head coach and Eddie and myself are sitting there talking. And, you know, we love sports. We do a sports show. But we like to ask some questions.

Maybe they've never been asked before. And Eddie had the question of, coach, what if a kid has never played football and he wants to be recruited? What does he do? No, no, but he's really good. He's really big. And he's really good if he's never played. And Eddie's like, but he's good in the backyard.

Yeah. Like, say you're a dad and you're like. You could be at a national town. That's what I'm saying. Like, you play with your family and it's like, oh, you're, wow. So you shoot a family video and get it. Eddie, like, how does the coach recruit him at Division I school? Can you just show up?

Power five school. See, Amy, it's a good question. It's a camp. Yes, we all got a good laugh because coach, like, he's never played football. He's like, no, but how would a parent get him recruited? So he's like, I haven't played football. Yeah, sign him up for football. It's good.

I thought in my head, I thought it was a great question. There's a fun question because of what it turned into. Yeah, because like, what if they're homeschooled? Correct, Amy. You can play football. if you're homeschooled. They live far away. That's what I said.

But he's never played football. Why would you recruit somebody who's never ever played football? Man, Amy's on my team. Hey, watching, what is it called? Like, emulating someone? Like, that's a great way to learn. So what if they just watched football and they're one of those rare freaks of nature?

Amy knows what I'm talking about. Next thing you know, I'm going to get out here. I'm getting dumb. Yeah, I'm out. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Norrie of the day. Lunchbox is still out sick.

Today, Eddie will do the bonehead. But in character as lunchbox. Oh, I can do that. Okay, here we go. You ready? You got to do where it's from. Okay, okay, here we go. All right, this story is from Vancouver, Canada.

There's a guy who is scared of the apocalypse. He thinks people are coming for him. Zombies are coming, and he lives right by a Border Patrol station. What does he do? He says, I need weapons. He breaks into the Border Patrol station. He steals guns, ammo, bulletproof vests. pepper spray.

Wow. Yeah. And a radio just in case he needs to communicate. Uh-huh. So now he's prepared. But he was caught on camera and he got arrested. I wonder why he thought the apocalypse was coming. I don't know.

You think that's coming? No, not where I need to go right now and grab weapons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not, they're not sure if drugs are involved or what. But he did it anyway. I was trying to do sound effects in the background like lunchbox does. Yeah, but I was, how do you do that with like, break it in? Apocalypse.

Walking in snow He had to be on something right To feel like it was happening right then Maybe Or he's having a mental episode I don't know Okay well good luck to him Yeah good luck

I'm lunchbox and that's your bonehead story of the day. You think people bought that? If they tuned in halfway through, they definitely did not think it was lunchbox. You went in and out of characters. Eddie, what's going on with you? Man, I was talking to my son about homecoming because it's homecoming time, like at school. And he was like, Dad, did you go to homecoming? And I was like, you know what's crazy is I went my senior year, but my son's a freshman.

And I'm like, my parents didn't let me go to dances until I was a junior in high school. Like freshman year, they were like, nope, you're not going. So all my friends went. I didn't go. Our homecoming dance was a throwaway, though. It was after the, maybe because I played football and it was after the game. Oh, yeah. Oh, everyone went.

Like, this year my daughter went after the game. Really? Well, actually, I think it maybe was a different. The game was Friday night, and then the dance was Saturday. See, that would have been a bigger event. Instead of us, we're up. We just got beat 72, and now we got to go down and go to a dance. Now we were pretty good.

But I just remember it not being a big deal. Prom was different. But it sounds like you guys had like a dedicated home country. tummy. Yeah. So your son, he gets to go or he's been asked to go? No, we were just talking about it because I said, are you going to ask someone? He's like, I haven't decided yet. But he does get to go. I'm like, dude, let it rip. Like, go. If you want to find someone to ask, like, go to the dance. Have fun. That was the worst. What do you mean? What's the words? Having to ask somebody to go to, it's the worst. That's what he was asking me too. And he's like, did you ask someone?

Like, I got turned down the first time I asked someone. You did. For prom or homecoming? This was, I think, prom, my junior year. And then a friend stepped up and said, you know what? I'll just go with you. Ugh, that's brutal. Dang, I felt that. I had to ask Jamie Fochie on the phone only because she went to church. I knew the good Lord wouldn't let her turn me down.

Oh, that's right. And there was nothing romantic. I just needed somebody to go. And I was like, I know Jesus won't let her. He'll guilt her in making her come with me. And she did, and then we went, and then it was fine. And I dropped her off at home at like 1030, went home. That was it.

That was it. Homecoming, though, that's cool that he has his own. will he go without a date? I think that's what a lot of the guys are going to do. Do you dress up? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you dress up. Hey, man, you got some cool schools. Had homecoming dances?

Yeah. We used to buy homecoming. I'm going back home. I'll tell you about it later, but this year. But we used to have, like, they'd sell like these ribbons. You could buy? Mums? The mums?

See? We didn't have mums. Ours were ribbons. It's a, it's like a big. Yeah, there's no flower on it. But there's ribbons coming down? Yeah, we only had the ribbons part of it. It's got little cowbells on?

Yeah, no, it's just ribbons. We just had the ribbons. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, it was like homecoming. And he spent like a dollar on it or something. So, all right, let us know how that goes. I will.

Is your daughter going to it? Yeah, hers was two weeks ago. Did she go? Yeah. She danced? Yeah, she was. Did you get asked? Did you go?

Did I go? Yeah. No, I dropped her off. You act like that's crazy that you would be a chapero. Well, last year, Ben was. But that was when she was, yeah, I think eighth grade he was. But ever since she's got in high school, we've let her be. Did she have?

had fun? Yeah, she had fun. She said they danced, like, in circles. Like, I asked her if she danced specifically with a guy, because she just hung out with friends. She said, they just kind of danced in circles. And I said, well, show me. Like, I want to see. Like, we do it. And then... Apparently, there was, like, some twerking or whatever.

How awkward. The mom wants to see her dance. At home. No, I know. That's just awkward. But if she started twerk, I'd be like, you're not going to the dance. No, but I don't know. I feel like kids, I don't... That's just what they do. No, I agree with that. I'm okay with that. No, sir. I'm saying Sandout, let me see you dance. That's just weird.

No, I said, let's do it together. Show me. No, that's even weirder. That's even weirder. Thank you. Amy's got a new episode of Four Things Up Today with Amy Ground. Amy, what's on the episode?
