Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Come on, Bobby. Transmitting. Welcome to Thursday show. Morning studio. Morning.
Starting point is 00:03:17 This person got paid and took the check home, never went to work for 10 years. Now they're going to jail. They got paid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sent us five years in prison. Order to pay a fine over a million bucks. He collected a salary for 10 years, never went to work. How do you do that?
Starting point is 00:03:35 The man worked in the citizen service department but didn't show up or do any work for a decade. even though his paycheck kept getting deposit into his bank account, he's got to do prison time and pay back $339,000 in salary that he collected, plus there's penalty money as well. What was he thinking? You can't live your life and think, like, I'm going to get away with this for the rest of my life. Don't you think, though, if you do happen to get away with it,
Starting point is 00:03:58 you go, I can get away with this now. They're never going to catch it 10 years. At that point, yeah. After like four months, you're like, they're never going to catch this. And so they finally caught it. but also like what's the accounting department there like somebody's getting fired in accounting you miss this the entire time for 10 years we're paying somebody and they are but he's got to go to jail because he knew it was happening but like I get it like you're lazy and you're getting paid
Starting point is 00:04:22 I mean who wouldn't do that right well I wouldn't I wouldn't do that other than you're going to get caught like you are going to get caught yeah but that's why you wouldn't do it but dude how awesome would that be you just get a paycheck you ever been overpaid at work here yeah yes yes too. It sucks. Yeah, I got somebody else's, vice versa. I got somebody else's pay and then somebody else got my pay. So I kind of even now. Another Eddie in the company. Who was making more? I think I was making more. But that other Eddie was cool enough to tell the company, hey, that's not my money. Well, because you got to pay it back though. I would never know. Like, I would never know if that's not my money. Like any money that comes to my account, I don't look at where it came from or what. I'm just like, that's my money.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Because your wife does your money as well. Totally. Yes, yes. No flag went up. No flag went up. But man, When this other Eddie, though, gave the money back, I'm like, that's legit. I got a call once, hey, twice. Hey, we've overpaid you significantly. We're going to take it out of your next check. All that stuff. You ever got that call, lunchbox? No, unfortunately, I've never been overpaid.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I wish. I always say, oh, you guys didn't pay me for this. And then they're like, no, and then they show me. I'm like, oh, you did pay me. All right, good. So I've never had that lucky opportunity where I get to get rich without doing it. They take it back. They always take it back.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Always. They always take it back. How would they find out, though? If they accidentally pay me $500 extra, Do you really think in this big of a company, $500, maybe not. They wouldn't notice. Maybe not. But for mine, it was significant.
Starting point is 00:05:43 For this guy, this guy that got paid. So is the money gone? Like, he's going to serve the time. He's supposed to pay money back, but you can't, you know, get Mountain Dew for a turnip. So if he has no money, you're not going to get the money from him. Like, there's nothing he can do. So probably not. But a little bit of that's on the company.
Starting point is 00:06:02 But this dude knew. And that's why he's going to go to jail. a man's beer belly may seem like laziness, but it could actually be linked to heart damage. Whoa. So it's worse than just being lazy. A new imaging study shows that abdominal fat is more strongly linked to harmful heart changes than overall weight or BMI.
Starting point is 00:06:20 What sucks as a dude, like we, and I'm sure women you get in different places, but it's like where it comes for us, it's like right over the belt, at least for me. Yeah. The first place that shows up is right over the belt right there in that little belly area. It's the first place to show up. It's the last place to go to. too. Like, I feel like I can be shredded and I still got, but also I have scar tissue there too for my surgery so it's a little thicker. But that's it for me. Where does yours hit first?
Starting point is 00:06:44 Face right around my cheeks. Is that why you have a beard? No, that's not what I have it. But it does, it stores up a little bit there and then I start feeling it on the belly. So cheeks first? Like face first? That's when I know. I'm like, ooh, man, I got to do something. What about women? Where do you got, where does it come first? Morgan? I don't, like the gray hairs and stuff? No, like. Oh, you're. extra like if you get if you start to put on extra weight where does it show up first oh your belly too for girls yeah yeah belly or arms for sure Abby yeah same maybe some double chin oh wow I well I'm the same yeah quality uh the study finds that adults should prevent belly fat buildup
Starting point is 00:07:24 yeah no crap I need to get my pelvic floor worked on that's what the doctor told lunchbox that's what you told me just YouTube some exercises you should pelvic floor well I had a C-section when they had to cut my abs. Yeah, but that wasn't technically what they called it. No, but it's the same kind of in a C-section, they cut through the abdominals. And when I rupture my spleen, they had to cut through my abdominal muscles,
Starting point is 00:07:49 the same way they do a C-section. But they didn't cut your uterus because you don't have a uterus. Some would say I do. Depends on who you ask. Oh, Bobby Bones. All right, so when on the first date with a girl, really liked her. I was casually scrolling through Instagram and I somehow accidentally liked a post from three years ago.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I didn't mean to. I was just scrolling. How do I explain this without making things super awkward? Or should I just pretend it didn't happen and hope she forgets about it? Signed Insta stalker. The thing about accidentally tapping, because I've done this not on girls, but like if I'm going to check out an artist, maybe even to bring on the show or the podcast, I'll go and scroll and search their profile and try to find clips of them playing live. And if you're just scrolling, you don't, you can hit the screen in a scroll. And if you hit it in the wrong place, it hits the heart.
Starting point is 00:08:57 So you got to be very careful when you're scrolling down through someone's profile. So that's number one. This probably happens all the time. Number two, how many people actually have their notifications on for everybody that likes their posts? I don't know the answer to that because I have a lot of followers. I have like a million point two or something. So if I had my notifications on for everybody to like to post, it would be nonstop notifications.
Starting point is 00:09:19 As a matter of fact, I don't have any notifications on my phone. None come up. I've turned them all off. The only thing that pops up is if I get a text. Other than that, no apps can notify me. Nothing. So generally, do people keep their notifications on? Morgan, do you have yours on on your Instagram if anybody likes something?
Starting point is 00:09:37 No, I don't. Do you feel like people keep their notifications on? Because it's hard because we have a public job where we have a lot of followers. do you feel like your friends that don't have public jobs keep their notifications on yeah they do okay that sucks my wife does yeah yeah my boyfriend does so i mean her phone buzzes all the time with notifications so this is what i would say you can't pretend it didn't happen if you guys are going to go on a second date or something i think you can say i was doing a little reconnaissance work on you i was going through your profile and i double-click one like three years ago just a heads up i think that's okay because it doesn't
Starting point is 00:10:12 feel creepy because everybody does it. It happens, yeah. No, everybody does it. Eddie, I don't think you've ever dated during social media age. No, I didn't, but I've accidentally hit a like. Yeah, but I'm talking about in a relationship. No, no, no, no. Or when you're dating somebody, or you're thinking about dating somebody, like everybody goes through everybody's profile if they're new in a relationship, right, Morgan? Yeah, you can totally joke and just like, I was, I was checking you out, seeing what your situation is. So I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I don't neither, but I don't think you can't ignore it. That would be my advice. Do not ignore it. Hey, did you get a notification last night about 1 a.m. I was doing a little recon work on your profile.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I accidentally hit it. I think that's funny. And if she's going to think it's really cool or creepy, depends on how she feels about you anyway. Because if she kind of likes you back, she's going to think it's cool. Exactly. If she doesn't like you back, she's going to think it's creepy, but she already didn't like you back anyway. So that'd be my advice there. Good luck, though. We've all done it. They've just made it too easy. The other thing that social media does, TikTok is really bad about this and Instagram a little bit is if you're scrolling and an ad pops up where there's a side scroll on different products, it makes you side scroll through a couple of them because it changes up your fingers on the screen scrolling. So you're scrolling and all of a sudden you're
Starting point is 00:11:24 looking at different jackets. I'm trying to get out of this. Do you guys ever hit that? And you're like, I'm not doing anything different, but now it's making me look at the three different jackets I didn't want to buy. Thank you very much. That's the mailback. Close it up. Abby announced she got engaged. We're all super excited. I mean, I watched the video back. You can see the pure joy in your face. It was awesome. Because you sit all the way across the room for me.
Starting point is 00:11:46 You're like in the glass room. So I can see you, but not close. This is an awesome video. You guys follow us on social if you want to see stuff like that at Bobby Bone Show. So what's been kind of everybody's saying to you? Like everybody happy for you? Oh yeah. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:12:00 They are. And a lot of people have called in too. Just say congratulations. Yeah, just say congrats. And like this one guy called and he was like, I've only cried twice listening to the show and this was one of the times. So I was like, he sounded like a big burly man. And he like cried because of this. I was like, that's really cute.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Do you still look down at your finger and just go, this is crazy? I cannot stop. Yeah, when I drive, I now drive with my left hand. I'm basically left handed now. It's so cool. Guys, how do we feel about engagement gifts? Is that a thing? Engagement presents?
Starting point is 00:12:28 No. She got the best present ever. A diamond. I hear you. But like an engagement present, I was asked if I was getting Abby anything for her engagement. No. way, dude. I've never given anyone a gift, never thought about giving anyone
Starting point is 00:12:43 an engagement gift? Never. Abby, are people giving you gifts at all? I don't even know. Is that a thing? Okay, so to you, it's not even a gut. Yeah. Okay, good, thank God. I mean, I guess I thought maybe like a bottle of wine or something. Oh, so you did have some maybe. You did have some maybes. But usually people have like
Starting point is 00:12:58 an engagement party maybe. And then that's true. So I don't know other than that. I don't know. Get her a bottle of wine. When you mean we? Just go downstairs and get her bottle of wine. from Whole Foods? Yeah, real quick. Let me ask my assistant here.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Hey, according to etiquette, should you get someone an engagement gift? So according to traditional etiquette, it's actually not a requirement to get someone an engagement gift. It's more of a nice optional gesture. A lot of people will bring a small gift if there's an engagement party, but it's definitely not mandatory. It's more about personal preference and how close you are to the couple. If it's somebody that I work with and I've worked with for a long time and,
Starting point is 00:13:38 have been friends with for a long time. Not super close. We don't hang out, but sometimes she watches my dog, like, closer than, like, normal. Is it someone I should get a gift for? In that kind of scenario, it could be a thoughtful gesture to give a little something. Since you've got that sort of friendly work bond and she even helps out with your dog sometimes, it's really just a nice way of acknowledging that you appreciate her. It definitely doesn't have to be anything big, just a small token if you feel like it.
Starting point is 00:14:04 It's really up to you. What do you think a good gift would be? Well, for something like this, I'd say keep it simple and personal, but not over the top. Maybe a night hand ring card with a small gift like a candle or a little decorative item for her home. Even something like a nice box of chocolates or a little plant in B-sweet. It's really just about the thought and showing you're happy for her. If I were to get her a bottle of wine because that's what she brought up, like how much should I spend on that? Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:14:32 If she mentioned wine and you know she'd enjoy that, that's a great idea. you really don't have to go overboard on price. Something in the range of, say, $20 to $40 is totally eyeing. It's just a nice gesture and it doesn't need to be a fancier, super expensive bottle. If I get her an engagement gift, does that clear me of getting her a Christmas present? You know, that's a pretty relatable question. In general, it doesn't necessarily get you off the hook for a Christmas gift if you usually exchange those.
Starting point is 00:14:58 But what it does do is kind of show you've already done something thoughtful. So maybe you can go a little smaller or just keep it simple for the hot. holiday. It's all about balance and just doing what feels right for the relationship you have with her. I appreciate that. Would you like to tell Abby, congratulations? Absolutely. I'd love to. Abby, congratulations on your engagement. It's a really exciting time, and I'm wishing you all the happiness. Thank you, assistant. That's so weird. I don't know what to call him, him, her. I don't understand. I don't understand the mandatory thing. Like, gifts aren't mandatory ever, right? So the fact that she kept saying, I would say Christmas.
Starting point is 00:15:35 gifts are mandatory to the people that are in your inner circle, yes. Now, mandatory, do you go to prison? No. But if you don't get your kids gifts, that's kind of a mandatory dad thing. Abby, I will get you a gift. Aw, thanks. Okay. I like it. I like. Anybody else jumping in? No.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Okay. What? I'll get that bottle of wine, I guess. You're going to get a little bit? Why would I get you a gift? Oh, I don't know. You don't have to. I guess, it's just dumb. You got engaged. Like Eddie said, the ring is your gift.
Starting point is 00:16:05 But you didn't get that for her. Right. So I shouldn't have to get her something. Oh, yeah. It's not mandatory, as Eddie said. I didn't get her. I didn't get in game, so I don't want to get her anything. Abby, we're super happy for you.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I owe you one gift. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that sounds good. Bring them in. Yeah, bring him. Remember the time we're a fiancé? Remember the time we brought in the dancer?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Santa Claus. Santa Claus. Yeah. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say it. Yep. That's me.

Starting point is 00:21:53 She gets out of the bus, starts chasing him. Turns out the kid had been missing. Wow. The kid is running in the lake. Now, the bus driver has no idea how to swim, but she says, you know, I cannot let the kid just run to the lake, falls the kid into the lake,

Starting point is 00:23:09 Question number one. Who sings rolling in the deep? That's Adele. Correct. Yeah, Barbara, we're on her way. Okay. What band released the album Rumors? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:24:35 Tricky. Well, see, I was almost on, I was on the right path. Like, maybe they go frontwards and backwards. He went the other way, though. Who sang Unbreak my heart in 1996? Unbreak my heart. He kind of is on melody there. You're not, and he's never on melody.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Unbreak my heart. Ah, man. Can we circle back to that one? Yeah, we'll circle back. Thank you. Gosh, that's a tough one. That may come to me. So you have to get five a seven, so you can't miss another one.

Starting point is 00:35:51 Back in the day on daytime TV, it was Oprah, it was Mori Povichch, it was Ricky Lake. And I got a chance to talk with Moripovich because he would do these things, these paternity tests. And guys would be like, ah, I hope I'm not the father. And they would reveal it live on the air. And it was a culture thing. And so even now at TikTok, you're seeing this is now being brought back. You are not the father. You are the father.
Starting point is 00:36:13 man when they would not be the father these guys would dance on stage it was so funny they'd be like i knew i wasn't the father so mori povich has a new podcast called on par with mari povich got a lot of great guests and so this is us talking about his catchphrase you are not the father and just about his show in general let's go on the bobby bone show now mori povich hey mori good to see you bobby nice to be with you hey i'm a massive fan for a long time so this is really cool for me so i just want to up front. Congratulations on the podcast. Whole season two is about to start. We were talking about you before you came on and
Starting point is 00:36:49 my assumption is everywhere you go people yell at you. You are not the father or something like that everywhere you go. Or they want me to give them an autograph to say they're not the father. Oh, you have to sign that? Oh, of course. You know. Hey, Jimmy, you are not the father or you are the father.
Starting point is 00:37:06 That's funny. When you were doing those episodes specifically could you tell culturally that was cutting through at the time? You know, I never thought about it, but when I used to go to events, it's amazing. My wife, Connie Chung, you know, and so we go to these media parties, and everybody would want to surround Connie and talk to Connie. And if I wanted to be noticed, I'd go to the kitchen. And then everybody in the kitchen knew who I was.
Starting point is 00:37:37 That's funny. And then I knew I was cutting through to the real people. In the case of two-year-old Darjavion, Tristan, you are not. But I am a massive fan of, like, the different version, like the different, I feel like you had different sections of your life that all were very instrumental in different ways. And I think that that's what I'm a fan of, of the different ways that you were able to, A, make a difference, or B, cut through. And sometimes at the same time, but even like you're talking about, even with, like, your talk show,
Starting point is 00:38:09 Like you were cutting through and you were doing, in my opinion, with that show, what you talked about was happening with the idea of a current affair or Fox News. Like you were doing that. You were finding the underserved and actually giving them something they could relate to. Do you think that's correct? You know, I never thought of it that way, but you're right. You know, I'm kind of proud of that. Even today, it doesn't matter. I see a catty.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Oh, I grew up watching you. I mean, in fact, I have a great catty story in terms of the show. So a friend of mine said that he always hung out in the caddy shack Or the caddies at the golf course And there was always a TV on And he's just listening And one catty's saying to the other You ever in that situation where somebody accused you
Starting point is 00:38:51 You'll be in the daddy of their kid And the guy says, oh yeah, yeah all the time He says, well what do you say? He says, I tell them all the same thing I ain't the daddy till more he tells me I'm the dad Okay, I'm going to let you go Oh, so I'm about to have my first child. My wife is pregnant. Oh, wow. Oh, boy. Here we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I wasn't going to do it, but I have to do it. So I am the father. So do you mind, Maury?

Question Abby. How did you your fiance find your ring size?
Starting point is 00:45:13 So we went looking a couple times at rings and then so they put the little sizer on you. Got it. You figure it out. Eddie had this question. I can talk about this? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:23 She's not listening. I don't think. If it's like my wife, she ain't listening. Yeah, she's not listening. So Eddie's trying to get a ring for his wife. Oh. For the holidays. But she doesn't, Abby, she doesn't have rings.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Like the only ring she has is her wedding ring, which she's wearing on her finger at all times. So I don't know how to get a size without like telling her, hey, can I have your ring? Let's go to, Amy's not here, but Abby and Morgan, what would be your suggestion to Eddie? How does he figure out her ring size? She doesn't have any other rings?
Starting point is 00:45:53 No, no ring. She does not have like a toy mood ring that's been sitting kind of like by her bed, but I don't even know that's hers. Yeah. And do you know her ring size from the engagement ring? Engagement. When I got engaged? I mean, could you call the place?
Starting point is 00:46:10 No, doche. I don't even know that place still exists. You been married for how long? 20 years. Yeah. It was a long time ago. Oh, okay. You could say, hey, do you have a wedding ring? Not like a real one.
Starting point is 00:46:22 A rubber one. Dang, dude. You're striking out here. Okay. I will suggest this. Do you have someone you can call that's close enough to her who can ask her a question about a ring? Like you can bring it up and get the answer and then feed it back to you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:38 So I can ask one of her friends to ask her what her ring size is. Yeah, it would need to be, though, hey, not what's your ring size? It would need to be, there has to be something about jewelry. And your friend needs this and my finger has just gotten so, so fat. Like, my ring sizes now or whatever. Oh, I like it. And what is your ring size? Like, I think she has to get the information out of her death, like squeeze the juice.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Yeah. But do girls know their ring sizes? Like, does Abby and Morgan know their ring size? I don't know my blood type, dude. I for sure don't know. Yeah. I didn't until this. You didn't?
Starting point is 00:47:09 No. Mine are really small in my fingers, so it's hard for me to find rings anywhere. So I just, like, never bought them before this. Morgan? Yeah, no. Until, like, when I got this aura ring, I had to get, like, sample rings to try on because I had no idea. So, yeah, Bobby's idea is great because you could get a friend to just call and she could find a way to talk about. It just has to be a really close friend.
Starting point is 00:47:30 What if she doesn't know, though? That's a great point. Yeah. Yeah. But another option could be, if you do get the. this ring, I would get it with an idea in mind, but make sure it's a place that you can get it resize. And then once you gift it to her, you can
Starting point is 00:47:43 just... That's a good idea. That's probably the best. Okay, it's why you don't ask me yes. Like, guess and it's okay if it's wrong. And if I nail it, I nail it. That'd be cool. Yeah, you're probably not going to nail it, but that's okay. I think you can just get it. But, okay, so if you were to get
Starting point is 00:48:00 a woman, a pair of pants. Now, do you get them smaller? If you're guessing on purpose, Because if you get them bigger, she's like, oh, you thought I was fat. I know where you're going with this? So with the ring, should he get it especially small or should he get it a little bigger if he's guessing? Okay, well, it's different than pants because yes, pants always, you know, size-wise and clothes get smaller. But the ring, I don't think you can size up a little bit, but you can't size up a whole bunch.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Like you can't add metal or whatever you're getting the ring made out of. So you need to get it bigger so it can be like... Size down. Ah, good point. And then hopefully she doesn't get offended. He's that my fat finger, but this is fat. Dude, I think it's a no win either way. Because if you get it small, she's like...
Starting point is 00:48:43 Okay, just get her earrings, dude. No, you know what? I just thought of something. There is one time when she does take it off when she's cooking sometimes. She'll take it off and I'll see it laying on the counter. Should I steal it? And then she's just going to think it's lost for like a... But what are you going to do with it?
Starting point is 00:48:59 Take it to the jeweler? For a day? She's going to think it's lost for a day? And then I just place it somewhere and like, oh, look, I found your ring. No, I don't think that's... If you do do that, though, you can find, they have ring sizes online. So get something on Amazon. You can just measure it at your house.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Oh, that's not a bad idea. Or you can just use AI, take a picture of it. If you take a few different pictures of it, it'll take. AI will do that? Yeah, AI does everything. Well, there you go. That's the way to do it. Or one other option.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Have you ever heard of chloroform? Knock her out. Knock her out. Take the ring off, get it somebody, put it back on. Next thing you know, she has no, she might have a little headache. But she has no idea. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Tell me something good. Guy's in his basement and all of a sudden he's like, man, kind of dizzy. Starts to be confused a little bit. Turns out carbon monoxide was pumping to the heater as he was down in his basement. He also lives with a chronic lung condition. So a couple of these things aren't working together very well. And so he collapses, but he calls out to Alexa. and says, I need you to call my wife because I, and then he like passes out.
Starting point is 00:50:12 No way. Yeah. But that Alexa called his wife, which it left like a weird message. And so she checks her phone and it was just like gibberish. And she was like, wait, what? So she goes and calls 911, firefighters run to the house, get them out just in time. Amazing. High levels of carbon monoxide in the home, which they had to stay out for a while.
Starting point is 00:50:33 But he's good now because he called out to Alex and Alexa called his wife. Good for him to realize something was up, because most of the time people don't even realize that's happening, and they just pass out, and it's done. Well, most of the time, if I ask Alex anything, he doesn't quite understand me the first three times I say it. I got to be like, I said. So that's from News Nation.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Now, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. When you turn the radio, that it's trying to put you through. Mike Dies writing his week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is. All right, time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

Starting point is 00:52:01 that one. That was a good one. Morgan? Why did Santa get a parking ticket on Christmas Eve? Why? Because he left his sleigh in his snow parking zone. No parking.

The list of jobs that are tougher than people think. Right, I have them here. By the way, what was your toughest job you ever had? Eddie?
Starting point is 00:52:50 Probably working for my dad, man. Warehouse, forklifts. He sold like a... street lights, and so we would just move streetlights to one pile to another, load trucks, put them on forklifts. It was terrible. You got to drive forklift as a kid? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Yeah, they would let me. They mean your dad? No, the two guys that worked at the warehouse. They were awesome, dude. They were like gang members, but they were awesome. In South Texas? Yes. And then I always be like, Eddie, you want to drive the forkliftlet?
Starting point is 00:53:16 But they like were protective of you. Yeah, yeah, but I mean, they were in charge of the warehouse. Did they were trying to get you in the gang? No, no. They would never, dude. One time they brought their cousins. in and that guy had stories. He was from Chicago.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Gang stories? Yeah, dude, crazy gang stories. I think he was actually down in South Texas because he did something bad at Chicago. He's on the run? I think so. Mine would probably golf course maintenance because it just sucked.
Starting point is 00:53:41 I had to wake up. When the sun was up, we had to already be mostly done with mowing greens and weed eating. That was tough, but I think I learned most from waiting tables because you just have to learn how to deal with people. And good people, bad people, rich people. Everybody's weird and different and awesome.
Starting point is 00:53:57 But those would probably be the two hardest for those reasons. Lunchbox? Oh, it's easy. Sam's Club 6416. Because all I had to do was get the shopping carts and that sounds so easy. But my Sam's was at the top of the hill. So everybody parked downhill. So for eight hours a day in the 100 degree
Starting point is 00:54:13 heat in San Antonio, Texas I would be up the hill dragging those carts. I mean, it was miserable. And that asphalt just thing. 100 degrees, asphalt makes it 150 out there. Tough job. These are the jobs that are much tougher than we think. So it's not like the absolute toughest job because I'd probably like a logger,
Starting point is 00:54:32 had friends that were loggers. Oh, man. Rated that for a little bit. Well, they'd all come back like this. Missing fingers? Yeah, of course, yeah. Or parts of fingers. Yes.
Starting point is 00:54:42 All right, here we go. Number one, caregiver. That'd be very tough. I couldn't do that. You know what I think about two things with caregivers. So a big shout out to caregivers out there. One, the poop and pee you have to deal with. Oh, this is for older people?
Starting point is 00:54:53 Just in general, but I think of older people. but also could be babies and then also the death. That's tough. You get close to someone and they just die on you. Number two, any customer facing job. So I worked at Hobby Lobby, a way to tables. Like retail, again, just dealing with people. And generally people are good, but if you're dealing with a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:55:11 you get enough crappy people that it does affect your day. Next up, paramedics and EMTs. I would have expected that one to be really hard. That's going to be a hard job and you've got to have a big heart. because you're not going to get rich doing that. You just got to have a heart of somebody who wants to help save people. Yeah, but I think what happens in those jobs so many times is that people just get, you know, numb?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Numb to what they're seeing every day. I need them to. I know. But then they're not a person anymore after like so many years of being a paramedic. Not my problem. I need them to be numb and be efficient. And I need them not to be overly emotional so they can make good decisions. I got you.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Next up, construction labor, like tile or roofing. I did roof houses. It was awful. It was so hot. The cleanup is the worst part. That was my first part of roofing, doing a cleanup, because all the roofers would go up
Starting point is 00:55:59 and clean up and throw it on the ground. They just throw it on the ground. They take the shovels, put the shovel under the shingle, push your foot through, throw it over the shoulder, and here I am down there, catching it and putting it in the back of a truck.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Cleanup is the worst. I feel like the heat is tough. The heat's brutal. Yeah. Brutalian at 5, teacher at 6. Oh, teacher, come on. Dealing with kids all day, dude?
Starting point is 00:56:18 Do they teach it is easy? Yeah, I mean, they just hand a worksheet out, put a movie on. I don't agree with him, by the way. They don't do that every day. I just want to give them a little space to talk. I mean, you guys, I'd like teachers are just like, whoa, it's so backbreaking. I mean, and they don't make that much money.
Starting point is 00:56:32 But that doesn't mean, I mean, they chose that profession. Like, let's not add like it is so hard. I think it's very hard being a teacher. They're in the air conditioning, sitting down behind a desk. It's got to be hard being a good teacher. Yes, are there teachers like Lunchbox Saint? Probably. They mail it in.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Yes, let's watch a movie. They're numb to it, like the paramedics. teacher at seven call center operator Raimundo stop you did this yeah telecommunications the worst part is you have to do over 100 calls a day I mean do the math on that you're taking 10 15 an hour
Starting point is 00:57:06 when you don't take your breaks so you get a call bring bing how do you answer grinding communications this is raymundo how can I help you my internet won't connect let me transfer you we're supposed to help them I would only help people where I could upsell so then I would just send them over to the tags okay so if you get upsell like they want a
Starting point is 00:57:23 a package? Yeah, I was just, I'm trying to make money in deals, but I was supposed to lightly help them with their issue. If they said problem, boom, next line. I need somebody needs a deal. I give it two more delivery driver, which lunchbox did at Jason's deli. Is that tough? That was tough just because you would haul all this stuff across the hospital, you know, three buckets of iced tea, five party trays and those stupid drug reps, no tip. Get out of here. It ain't even in your money. For somebody that gets so offended by not getting tips, he hates tipping. No, no, no. Here's the deal. I tip if I have a delivery driver that carries three gallons of ice tea with their five gallon
Starting point is 00:57:59 bucket of ice and then five specific though. I'm just saying you. And this happened to you one time? No, a lot of times. I'm telling you these drug reps, it was so crazy how cheap they were and they weren't even spending their own money. It's like, dude, you got a billion dollar company and you're not going to give me 10 bucks. Like, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Delivery driver now, though, is probably Uber-dash Uber Eads. Yeah. I feel like that's kind of fun because you have to deal with anyone. Yeah, but you're depending on people to tip you and you don't even have a chance to create a relationship. You're depending on blind generosity. Yeah. And people just picking the lowest option because, well, they're just delivering it. You don't have to make eye contact with them.
Starting point is 00:58:35 A waiter, if you step them, you just spent 45 minutes with it. Sure. There's a human element to it there. The last one is wedding videographer and photographer. Oh, stop. I did that. Stop. That's easy.
Starting point is 00:58:45 That's easy money, dude. Easy money. Why does it say it's harder than we think? I don't know. Maybe because people are so picky with what they want. Or maybe because these, the people that do it well. Yeah. Not just mail it in.
Starting point is 00:58:57 You're the teacher of the wedding videographer. I mean, you just take 100, 100 pictures and a couple of them are going to be good. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, good, got you some pictures. There you go. Stop. I don't think it's that easy. I think it's hard because everybody's partying and you don't get to party.
Starting point is 00:59:11 That's what makes it hard. You're jealous. Being around the alcohol, not able to drink it. Yeah, if we missed any, let us know. Bobby Bones show. Bonehead. Norrie up the day. This story comes us from Chicago, Illinois.
Starting point is 00:59:24 A 21-year-old man was at his family's house for Thanksgiving, and he wanted to watch something on TV. But they wanted to watch something else. So they're getting an argument, yelling, and screaming. So police are called. And he's like, all right, I'll calm down. I'll leave it alone. We'll watch whatever they want to watch.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Can you imagine you're a cop you're getting called or 911 and you're getting a call about somebody fighting about what to watch on TV? So dumb. That is a waste of taxpayer money. Go ahead. So about an hour later, they get a call to the same address. He was still mad. He burned down the family's home.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Oh, my. Can you imagine getting a call, a second call after that? I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. All right, a voicemail.
