We just appreciate you listening. I do want to play a little game called Never Gonna Get It. A really difficult game. Oh, good. You have multiple chances here. I want to put Brittany on. And Brittany lives in North Carolina. Hey, Brittany, good morning.

Good morning. We're going to play Never Going to Get It. You have a chance to win some really cool prizes, or, aka, known as crap from the back. Awesome. Okay, cool. She sounds super thrilled. Yeah, she's excited.

Here's the question. At any given point in time, about one quarter of Americans are trying to get rid of one of these. What is it? Hold on, you think about it. A quarter? We'll come to you, Brittany.

Think about it. I don't want to put you on the spot because you just heard the question for the first time. At any given point in time about a quarter of Americans are trying to get rid of one of these. Man.

What is it? Trying to get rid of these. Trying to get rid of one of these. It could be more, you know, who knows? Brittany, what is your guess here? You get to go first. I'm going to say, Cara.

I don't think it's a really. I know. A car. Okay. Just sell a car. It's not bad. Not bad. That is incorrect.

Yeah. Now, you get to pick a show member. We're rolling three deep today. We got Amy, Lunchbox, and Morgan, so you can pick two of them. Whoa. I feel real good.

If they get it right, you get it right, okay? At any given point in time, about a quarter of Americans trying to get rid of these, what is it? I'm going to pick Amy. And you can pick Lunchbox or Morgan.

We'll go LB. That's right. You know what's up. Morgan, what you put? Oh, I put a pair of jeans. Well, Brittany did not pick Morgan. And she's wrong, so that's okay. Damn.

Yeah. Amy, what you think? Gray hair? Well, a quarter of Americans, whoa. That's really solid, Amy. I'm going to hold. You're on hold. Not saying you got it right or wrong?

You're on hold. Lunchbox. You guys went too detailed, man. Shoefly, don't bother me. A fly. Get it out of here. It's bugging me. At any given point in time about a quarter of Americans trying to get rid of these, what is it?

Lunchbox says flies. That is wrong. Wow, I thought I nailed that. Amy says... Gray hair. Gray hair. That is wrong. Brittany, here we go.

So you can pick that all three of them will get a chance to re-answer the question. You pick that one of them get it right or they all get it wrong. It's up to you. I love you guys, but this is kind of a hard one. I'm going to say no one gets it. Yeah. Never going to get it. Trying to get rid of.

At any given point in time, about a quarter of Americans are trying to get rid of these. What is it? I will play the Never Going to Get a theme song as you think about it. No, you're not going to get it. Not this time. No, you're not going to get it. Never, never, never, never, never going to get it. Got it.

If any of you get it, she loses. Yeah, Brittany, you're going home a loser today. Morgan? Oh, yeah. Do you want me to say my answer? A piece of furniture? I went literal. The one of these is hard.

The dashbox? Man, I don't see any on you, Bobby. Don't see any on Amy. A zip. Oh, no, no, no, no, but I just came up with one. Amy? Listen. What do you have?

I have pimple, but... You all missed it. Is it spouse? Is it tattoos? No. Dang. Is it? Uh-uh.

You already missed that one. It's not. You never said an A guy right or wrong. Yeah, he did. When I said pimple, he goes, it's not it. Well, pimple and zip would be the same thing. Pemple Zip, blamish. All right.

Hey, Brittany, by the way, you won. Before I tell the answer, you won. Nice job. There she has, Brittany, starting us off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just one of myself, though. The answer is a pound or pounds. They're trying to lose a pound.

I was getting there. I was getting there. I was getting there. Yeah. Stupid. Yeah, you're all pretty stupid. Just kidding. That's a hard one.

Whoever said stupid, I was just agreeing. Brittany, you are the winner, though, so we're going to get you a lot of stuff, okay? I really appreciate you. I'm listening. Hope your day's going awesome. It is. Thank you, guys. All right, there she is. There's Brittany in North Carolina. We'll put her on hold. And we'll play this game again next week. That's Never going to get it.

Never, never going to get it. No, you're not going to get it. Ow! You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Oh, Bobby. I was with some friends earlier this week. We were talking about kids. One of our friends jokingly said that I didn't have a valid role in the conversation because I was only a step-parent.

I know he was joking, but it did trigger me because I know the role I've played in my wife's kids, and it's a crap ton more than what their deadbeat biological father has done from a time, attention, financial, and emotional support standpoint. The evening got noticeably tense after that. I'm having trouble even viewing my friend the same way. How do I turn this off? How do I go back to being true friends again with this person? Is this a bigger issue than I am admitting to?

Signed, just a step parent. First of all, you have the right. to be upset about anything. It's just how you react to it, right? I think I would also be offended if I were you, but my offendedness, once I calm down, and when you're triggered, you're not thinking rationally, you have animal brain, you're reacting.

You don't want to react. Once you get out of reaction mode, think how serious was your friend? Probably just joking. Probably thinks that a little bit because they don't understand the dynamic, but probably just joking. This would even be a thing I think I would bring back up

at some point to your friend. And whenever it's not a serious situation, like, how I think about it when you said I was a step-parent, man, that, like, that was tough. Like, I really worked to be a good parent. Like, if it's bothering you that much, I think you should say something about it, but not in a way that's like, let's have a seat and have a talk about this. There will be a natural way to do it. You obviously are very invested in your kids' lives, stepkids even, but also your kids, because they're important to you and you do deserve to be triggered if that triggers you. But I would not ruin your friendship because of this, because I don't think they meant. anything by it. And they also don't understand what a step-parent goes through because they don't

not live in that world. They probably never had one and they aren't one. And it's a little unfair for them to understand what you're going through if they're not, even if they're being rude about it. Like, I had a stepdad forever. He was, except for my grandma, he was there, Arkansas Keith was was there more for me than anybody else was, including my mom, including my real dad. So unless you have a step-parent or you were a step-k kid, you actually don't understand. So I do understand why the person made that joke. They don't get it. So understand they don't get it.

Be like, yeah, I'm coming feelings a little bit. That's okay to say that. And then just keep rocking. So there's a book that comes to my mind right now. It's from Sean Aniquist and it's called, I just haven't learned that yet. And I feel like for your friend, this is something they just haven't learned yet.

And I love using that even with myself or my own life. Like if I've messed up in something or I'm trying to have grace for someone else, I'm like, oh, maybe they just haven't learned that yet. And it really helps me move past it faster. I feel like I'd write a 10,000 page of book called I haven't learned that. Yet. Everything I haven't learned. Here we go.

The yet is the key word because it's like there's room for growth here. Yeah, I don't know that personal ever understand being a step parent though. So a little bit of that, you just have to kind of be like, they don't get it. But it's still your friend. Don't run the friendship. And read the book, things I don't know by Bobby Bones. I'm going to write that one. It's going to be awesome.

It's going to be awesome. We've got your email and we'll find the clothes. Bobby Feltag. Yeah. This game's called Love on Lunchbox. He created this game. Since he retired as champion of Elder versus Millennial, the game was worn out. We said, create a new game.

He said, love on lunchbox. What are the rules? The rules are everyone writes down a sentence about what they love about me, and I will get those in my inbox or Mike's going to hand them to me. We cut them in papers. Okay. And I'm going to read them anonymously, don't know who sent it, and I pick a winner.

Whichever sentence I like the best, the best thing they love about me this week gets a point. First one to five wins. Okay. Okay. Really simple. This game feels very selfish of him. It's not really fun for us. No, it's actually fun because you get to, you know, you guys like to pimp joy, so pimps enjoy my way.

We did. Yeah, let's hear it. Okay, so just hand them to them. They're all mixed up. How many are there? Oh, there's a lot. One, two, two, six, three, four, five, six. And you do not know who said what?

No. All right, let's play, love on lunchbox. You are destined to be a star, and I know someday you'll go far. And I really hope you stay there. That's nice. That's a good one. Okay. All right, next one up.

I wish I was as relaxed as you are about messiness. Every time I think of you, it reminds me that I need to take out the trash. Well, these are kind of like insults. No, we're loving on you and saying stuff about you. There were no rules other than just write stuff. Go ahead. You look just like Tom. Brady if Tommy Brady pawned his seven Super Bowl rings for money to buy meth.

What? Oh, man. How do you feel so far? Man, I feel. I mean, I'm glad you're thinking about me, but man, these are wrong. Not really what you thought. No, not really what. The rules are.

He's a super talented star that's relaxed and looks like Tom Brady. Yeah, and then also someone said to you, you're going to go to the stars. Right, super talented. They just can't wait to you that far away from them. Okay, there's a few more. Go ahead. Yeah, we got three more. Okay.

Your commercials are always really great to hear. Through the wall, four rooms away. So true. You are pretty loud, dude. All right, go ahead. Oh, here's a nice one. You and Keith Irvin are alike because you both have such a distinct smell. I always know when you walk into a room because the smell of farts annihilates my nose.

Annihilates, I think, is what that is. Yeah. All right. The case for Keith, it's a good song. Yeah, it's just for you, yeah. It's impressive how you can, this is the last one, by the way. Yeah. It's, we're playing Love Lunchbox.

This is not love. It's impressive how you can manage to avoid your inbox, conquer Wordle, and still have enough time for those Olympic gold-type naps. Truly multitasking hero. Okay. So if you had to pick a winner there, what were you expecting? I was expecting, like, oh, your humor makes me laugh every day, even when I think about your jokes later, I'm still laughing.

Something like that. I don't know. Okay, well, you got to pick one. You have to pick which one you felt was the most loving. Most loving. It's love on lunchbox. You said you wanted to pick the one and give the point to the one that made you feel the best. Which one did you hate?

I mean, I hated the, I mean, it made me loud, but I don't look like I'm on meth. So you look just like Tom Brady. If Tom Brady pawned his seven Super Bowl rings for money to buy meth, that's out. That is out. I guess I do not get a point. It's hilarious. It's hilarious, but I don't look like I'm on meth. No, but Tom Brady.

Because you think you look like Tom Brady. But yeah, it doesn't matter. Go ahead. Yeah. He said that was methed up. I heard him. Oh, man. That's a tough one.

Any others you hate? Well, I mean, I will say, I think I got a winner. Okay. Go ahead then. We'll tell you who gets the point. Commercial's four rooms away, rude. It's the point of when you record or yell, we hear you. I know.

Yeah. Or like when we are listening to him on the radio, like if I'm in the car and he comes on, I have to turn it down a little bit. Interesting. The commercial. Is that the you that wrote that? No. Oh. Who wrote that one?

The commercial one was Ramundo. Yeah. Okay. I got it. This is going to be the winner. Go ahead. You and Keith Urban are alike because you both have such a distinct. smell. I always know when you walk into a room

because the smell of your farts annihilates my nose. That's the winner. Because you know what? At least you're saying my farts are kind of like lethal. Like at least if I'm, they're going to be doing something least they're doing something well. Okay. That winner and who gets the point this week is Morgan. Nice job, Morgan. Nice job.

The other compliments were I wish I was as relaxed as you are about messiness every time I think of you. Reminds me to take out the trash. That was Amy. Ugh, rude. Scuba was the one that was how you work, but you still do wordle. You don't really work and you take naps. And you're destined to be a star.

Someday you'll go far and they really hope you stay there is Mike D. Ouch. You like the game? I love the game. Okay, so we're back next week. Yeah, because we're doing it for how long? Who knows? First we want to get to five.

We're renewing it for another week. But come with better compliments. You can't tell us what to have. Okay. Hey, if you want a point. Don't really care about points. Actually, I just like to have my things read. So note to self.

Yeah. Talk about immature boy things. Lunchbox, congratulations on your first episode of Love on Lunchbox. Morgan, congratulations on your point. Thank you. I appreciate it. A win is a win. A win is a win.

I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clever Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.

And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

And we've got a special guest, the director of the NFL's East West Shrine Bowl, Eric, GALCO joins the Sports Slice podcast to break down what really matters when evaluating draft prospects. From hidden traits teams look for to the biggest mistakes franchises make to the players flying under the radar. This is the insight you won't hear anywhere else.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. They said, oh, hell no.

I vowed, I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the good news. With Amy.

Tell me something good. So there's the happy driver in Minnesota. Her real name's Jane, but she's, a bus driver that has that nickname because she is so cheerful. Every time someone gets on, she even gives them little nicknames, like her regular passengers. Well, a homeless barefoot passenger got on, and what did Jane the happy driver do? She took off her own sketches and gave them to the passenger. And other people on the bus saw it and started to share the story.

And then it's gone viral and it's just a really special moment, especially the person that recognized in the back. Her name is Sarah. she was homeless herself at one point in time, so it was really impactful for her to witness that type of exchange because she knows what that feels like. A couple things in my mind. Number one, can you drive a bus shoeless?

Is that according to code? Ooh. Doesn't matter. Still like the deed. Number two, it's not like a bus driver's making $500,000 a year. She just gave her shoes away. That's a big deal. So hopefully she got something.

They'd go fund me to her, got her some shoes. Skechers, maybe you should say her a bunch. What a great story by somebody. being completely selfless and just going, you don't have shoes, I'm going to give you mine. That's wonderful. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Blake. Hey, Bobby. What's happening?

Not too much. What you doing, buddy? Talking to you. Where are you right now? I'm in Oklahoma. Okay, nice. Hey, same time zone. What's up, buddy? Hey, it never happened. You're always like two hours earlier. I know, I know. I miss you, buddy. Yeah, I miss you too. Hey, I want to talk about this residency here. You're doing it. You just said.

accepted the millions of dollars to do a residency, and I'm so proud for you. Look at this guy. He needed it. Now he's doing it. Let's go. Thank you. Thank you. I sure use it. I tell you. So what's this residency going to be about? What are you going to do there? All the hits? I don't. That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. I don't know. I'm here to consult you. Yeah. I've been to two shows in Las Vegas residency shows. Obviously, I went to probably 15 or 16 of Gwen's shows. And years ago, I went to see the very first Chenaya Twain residency. That's probably been

15 or 16 years ago at least. And so I know enough about them to know that, you know, you've got to change it up. I mean, I know it's not, I guess you don't have to, but what I've seen and what I've heard about them is you've got to change it up from what you would normally do on tour. I mean, and so help me. I mean, my God, you're just sitting there. I'm just sitting here.

I'm just, I'm going to tell you why it's going to be amazing. Because first of all, and you're going to have to, it's going to be uncomfortable because I'm going to compliment you a lot. So just sit back and accept. I know. Just sit back and accept the compliments. This is why your Vegas residency show is going to be awesome because the venues are much tighter. They're a little smaller, but they're much tighter, meaning Blake's going to be super close to the audience. And the thing about Blake is he's become such a larger-than-life personality.

I think at times people may forget that Blake can really sing. And I think the two things that are going to really pay off are, one, he's hilarious. And two, he can just sit there with a guitar and play every freaking hit that he has and sound wonderful while telling jokes, making other people who watch him extremely jealous in the entertainment world because he's got it all. So this is... Wow, this is an uncomfortable. This is what I'm saying. But it's why it's going to be awful.

because you're going to get to do, and again, it's not going to be like an acoustic show, but there will definitely, I would assume, be moments of you just sitting there talking to the crowd because it is such an intimate place. I think this would be the best place to actually see you do a show. Wait a minute. I'm writing this down. Yeah, yeah. Put it all down there.

I got it. Well, thank you, buddy. And that is a good idea because I know that's what Garth, I didn't get to see Garth's show, but I heard that he just walked in and sat down with just him and his guitar. And I don't want to necessarily do that. I feel like I'll be ripping off Garth, and I've been doing that my whole life anyway. But I do like the idea of the intimate thing. And maybe there's a time in the show where we can just do something acoustic.

But I like that. Thank you, Bobby. You're already doing this. I don't have – he – for everybody listening, Blake is not playing me for a full. He was already going to do this because he knows what he's awesome at, and that's playing music and being funny. And he's got all these sections – I'm sure it's going to be awesome. And for everybody listening, Blake Shelton, live in Las Vegas, his first Vegas –

It'll be at Caesar's Palace, the Coliseum at Caesars. And so today's the big announcement, and the public on sale is the 16th. So like a week and a day. So today's Thursday. So next Friday is the onsell at blakeshelton.com. That's pretty cool, man. I'm sure they've offered you this many times. Why now?

I don't remember exactly when the conversation started about us putting an old red in Las Vegas, but that's when the conversations first started that I remember. and that goes back, you can imagine five or six years ago, just the early talks of an old red there. And I just kept kicking the can down the road because I figured I don't want to do it until the old red is up and running and all the kinks are worked out

so I can go back and forth between the two while I'm there. You know, it'd be a lot of fun to do the show at Caesars and then go pop in to old red over there and jump on stage there and do something with whoever's playing over there, you know. So I just kept, pushing until this moment came, hoping that it would come. And so here we are. That's super cool. It's going to be a great show. Blake Shelton's on with us, which, by the way, you just celebrated

three years of marriage. How do you guys do anniversary gifts? This year, I'm laughing because this year was kind of, it was pathetic. Our anniversary happened, but it happened exactly when Gwen still does the voice. And I've officially been retired now over a year. And so she was filming the voice on the day of our anniversary. It's just the way things worked out. And so those days are like, you know, they're the longest days that we experience as spoiled entertainers.

You know, I mean, literally, especially for Gwen, she gets up at like 5 a.m. and works until 10 or 11 at night, you know, filming the blind auditions. It's kind of a run and gun thing. You know you've seen that side of that stuff. And so she came in that morning right before she left, and she had already gone through her glam and stuff, and she was literally walking out the door,

and she had a box, and she was like, this is really stupid, but I looked it up, and the three-year anniversary traditional gift is leather. And so I opened this box, and it was like, you know, leather-scented things that you hang in your truck, like over the rear view mirror and like a, you know, a leather phone case or something like that. And she was like, I know it's dumb, but I just, it was last minute and I got to go, you know.

Lots of leather. So that was this year. Our first year anniversary was a little more special, you know. We had actual gifts and, you know, had a moment. But this year was like, hey, we made it three years. I'll see you later. Well, that sounds like what she did for you. What'd you do for her?

I don't remember. I think I, I think, oh, I know what I did. I ordered, I had some kind of, you know, you ever heard of Goldbelly? No. You guys know what Gold Belly is? No, is it sushi? Gold Belly is like this app where you can, like, order food from restaurants from all across the country. Like, if you love, biscuit love, biscuit love is on there, right there in Nashville.

And you can order biscuits from biscuit love, but have them shipped frozen to my house in Oklahoma. So I had ordered some cakes and things that, like she loves Italian desserts. I ordered some Italian desserts that we ate the next day, which was Fourth of July. It wasn't the best, I admit it. How did you and Post Malone end up doing the song together, pour me a drink? I was laughing. I was telling my publicist West, I said, man, thank God Post Malone got me back on country radio. I never thought I would say something like that.

but I don't really know. You know, I had met him six or eight years ago. We did a 50-year anniversary to the Elvis comeback special. When Elvis did his television appearance after he came back out of the military, and so CBS wanted to do this, you know, like 50-year anniversary, and I hosted the show, and then we had a bunch of different artists came and perform Elvis songs. And Post Malone was on this thing. and he was a brand new artist.

I think he probably had two hits or something at the time. And he was just a kid. He's still a kid to me, but that was the first time I met him. And we talked to that day, and I realized he's from right down here in Fort Worth. That's not far from where I live. We hit it off, but I never saw him again after that, you know, until this year at the Super Bowl.

Gwen and I did a performance, and we went up to watch the game in a suite that they had and then Post sang and Reba sang the anthem in America the Beautiful. And then they ended up coming up in that suite also. And Gwen and I and Post ended up trading phone numbers that day. And it was another one of those things where he said, you know, hey, I'm working on some new music. We ought to all get together and ride.

And if I had a quarter for every time somebody said that, or I said that to somebody. it never happened, you know, I'd have 100 bucks, but I be damned if two months ago I didn't get a call saying, hey, man, is that still your number? And one thing led to another. And I went in and sang this song and it was like, wow, this sounds like one of them, or a song I'd put on one of my records, you know, like, I mean, Post is really, really doing this. Like, and I got to tell you guys, I love the way, I know there's always a controversy in country music about who who belongs and who doesn't belong and whose country, who's not country.

I don't think it's ever going to, that conversation's ever going to go away. But I got to tell you, the way Post has gone about this, I just have so much respect for him because he's shown over the last few months that country music really is something that this guy grew up on. And it really does mean everything to him. And he's tipped his hat to all of his heroes. I mean, these shows that he's doing, his pop-up shows, he's singing.

I mean, he knows more country music than 80% of the actual country artists, you know. It's amazing, you know, the stuff he did at Coachella, I said, I did a show with him the other day, and there in Nashville, and he did that thing at the marathon over there. And, I mean, he sits on a stool, and he's playing songs that he has no business even knowing. you know and he's just it's because he grew it's not it's not like he went and woodshed and worked these things up he grew up knowing them and you can tell he's just performing the songs as he's driven around in his truck singing his whole life you know so i just i respect that about him

because the guy is really embraced he's not just poking his head in and making a record and getting out you can tell this is something that means a lot to him and that he's probably obviously been planning to do for a long time. And I don't think he's going anywhere. I mean, he hasn't said that to me, but this seems like a natural fit for him. And I'm happy for him. Blake Shelton's on with us live in Las Vegas. It's his first Vegas residency and tickets a week and a day will be on sale at blakeshelton.com. It's at Caesars. It's going to be awesome. Final question about Vegas. Do you gamble in Vegas at all? I have any good gambling stories? My only gambling story has come recently.

Gwen was in Las Vegas doing a private show and her best friend in the world came to the show. And we took advantage of the COVID mask because I said, hey, does anybody have any of those? Because it's pretty much over, you know. This was about a year ago. So you didn't really see the whole thing was gone, but he's like, does anybody have any of those COVID masks left in their purse?

I want to go down there and gamble. And so we put on COVID masks. I spent three hours in the casino people walking. Nobody knew it was me. And they would have been looking for me because Gwen was there doing a show. And I had a great time playing roulette and slots. And it was incredible. I didn't win anything, but I had a good time gambling.

You're so tall, though. I feel like you would still stand down. out, did you have to, like, make yourself small? Even with the mouse? I found myself playing the games that must suck because I would find places where there weren't a lot of people. It wasn't a lot of traffic, you know? And so that's kind of where I just would go set up and play

and just kind of keep my head down. Not that I'm afraid to be bothered, but it's like, if I'm going to gamble, let's do it, you know. Blake, good to talk to you, buddy. Congrats on the residency. next Friday. Blake, good to talk to you and hopefully we'll see you soon. Miss you guys. I'll see you.

All right, Blake, see you, buddy. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed I will be his last target.

He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Use Amy's pile of stories. A new study found that sexy sounding GPS voices make men take more risks while driving. This is the dumbest thing ever heard. No, it's not.

The research says men are more likely to run through yellow lights. When they're guided by GPS women, women with higher pitched voices. These voices are associated with attractiveness, and it influences men to be more reckless. I need to know who these guys are that are trying to impress a GPS voice. Well, no, it's just a, like, it's a response. Like, you hear it and you suddenly want to be more risky. So researchers say you need to make the voices in your GPS system sound less feminine

so that you can drive more safely. This sounds like somebody's wife who made this story and put it on the internet, because her husband's obsessed with the voice on there. I don't think there's a female. I know a bunch of dudes. none of them go, I'm really going to prove it to this GPS voice. You don't know you're doing it. It's a subconscious thing.

It's not like you're like, oh, right now I'm going to run this yellow light because of it. It's like you're hearing the voice and the next thing you know you're running the light. But also if you get fired up about running a yellow light, you're kind of a wimp anyway. It just says it's more reckless. And if you want to be a safer driver, alter the voice to sound less feminine. I don't believe it. So it needs to put on a man. I don't do any voice though.

You don't, what? On my GPS, I get so. Look at it? Yes. I get so irritated. that they talk over my podcasts that I don't have any voice on anything in my car or my phone

because I'm like trying to listen to Ryan Rosillo and he's talking about Jamal Murray and it's like and Jamal Murray turn left what did Jamal Murray do? Yeah but I'd rather be told when to turn I can see what my eyeballs. Okay. Thanksgiving may be the first thing

from your mind right now but travel experts are saying that now is the exact time to be thinking about your Thanksgiving plans. Three months? Especially if you're traveling. Yeah. They say there's a ton of holiday stress if you put it off to the last minute. And summer months are the best time to find the best prices on flights if you are going to be flying for the holiday.

You know, it's good. I just felt a little, I won't say breakthrough, a little minor positive change. You mentioned a holiday in my instant before I even said anything out loud. It wasn't negative. That never, almost never happened. You were like, hey, thanks games coming up. And I was like, oh, cool, three months. Look forward to that.

Because we go to Caitlin's parents. house and it's just nice and fun and we never really had a bunch of holidays where things were nicer fun or like a big family meal yeah you probably used to be like oh thanksgiving what am i going to do that's exactly what it was it would be like oh man he's going to bite me over i'm not yeah yeah yeah but i know and i'm not being mr downer like i actually had a very positive feeling inside of me that i was like oh that felt a little weird didn't even think about being negative are all going to drive to oklahoma it just depends if we do the circle because we will drive, if we do the circle, we'll go to Arkansas first, central Arkansas, which is six

hours from here, and then we'll do the three hours up to Fort Gibson, which is outside of Tulsa, and then we'll do the eight and a half back. But if we're just going to go back and forth to Oklahoma, we'll fly. That's just two, too long drives. I'm booking it. Book it now, and if you drive, listen to a male. Not going to do that. If you lose, the fantasy football league that Luke Hones is in with his friends. The punishment is you have to sing in front of a crowd of 60,000 people. And some

people online are like, wait a second, that would actually be fun. But Luke's friends are pretty bad at singing, so it was definitely a punishment. I saw it. I felt like it was a little unfair for Luke. Like, what's his punishment? Unless he has to buy everybody a car. Yeah, because he could just sing and be like, oh, cool. And I'm sure there's something like he has to get on stage and admit it. But I would say

if you brought me in this consultant, that's hilarious. I love it. But if Luke loses, he has to buy everybody a car. That's awesome. Or a watch. Because he loves watches. Yeah, but a car would be more usable by the guys in his league. Good point.

Yeah. Or he gives everybody like everybody in the league's usually a $12 team, like $10,000 cash. Well, what's your league? Like, what do you all do for punishment? We know. We just have a winner. We don't really, we're not really into humiliation, eh? Hmm, that's weird.

We don't like hazing. Yeah, no, we don't haze. We're a healthy group. Oh. We just give compliments. Okay. And I also love that they chose to sing walking. in Memphis. That's such a good song.

Oh, I had no idea what that was. Oh, yeah. When I'm walking in Memphis. No, I know what that song is, but I did not know by them singing. That's what they were singing. I made me. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby?

Hey, home it's something good. Yogi's been at the shelter for two years. Yogi is wildly shy around people when they would come into the shelter. And because Yogi was so shy, people really didn't look at Yogi a second time. And so the shelter then started doing. a bunch of social media stuff with yogi, talking about how shy yogi is, like embracing the shyness. And so then people wanted to come around and actually see the shy yogi and just like that, because they actually identified yogi for being so shy. People wanted to see the shy dog and

adopted the shy dog. So after two years of yogi not being adopted, like whoever came up that little marketing strategy, I was like, how do we get yogi to not be so shy? Because I'm sure they did that forever. They were like, let's just embrace it, put it on social media. It's the number one shy dog in the shelter and that's what people came to see and almost immediately got it. Same dog. Slightly different marketing and the dog was scooped up and now is in a home.

Genius. Yeah. I mean so we should do it lunchbox. Our shyest lunchbox. And try to help people out? Yes, it tries to help people out. Humane Society, Naples. Congratulations. You guys did a great job with that. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. All right. Here's the voicemail we got.

I'm drinking a cold beer. I just want to say hi. Thank you because y'all do real good broadcasting and good music. You'll have a great day. Bye-bye. Appreciate that, buddy. Thank you for leaving us that voicemail. All right, next up, play this one.

Morning studio. We have a morning corny for Amy. Why do chickens think they know everything? Because they're egg-perts. Hope you guys have a good day. Love a good husband-wife duo. Egg. Sperts.

A little husband-wife comedy duo. Love that. All right, now let's get over to Amy with the real morning corny. The Morning Corny. Why did the equestrian cross the road? That would be the horse jumping thing? Yeah. What?

To get to the other neighborhood. All right. These are an Olympic theme. Yeah, I got you. That was the morning corny. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. A podcast that is the end of the first half of the podcast that you can go. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.
