a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.

body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,

O'Brien. I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes

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.

landscapes that informed and inspired their extraordinary feats. So we too can better understand
how to face our own seemingly insurmountable challenges. Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday

Welcome to Thursday show.
Morning, studio.
Morning.
A second day in a row,
we're going to talk about the super flu.
It's the highest level in the United States in 25 years.
So we talked about the variant yesterday,
subclave K,
but it is by far.
In the last 10 years, the highest.
And over 6.7% rise.
So everybody's going to hit with the first.
flu. So what do you do when everybody gets hit with the flu?
You wash your hands. Yeah. You wash
your hands, maybe stay away from people.
Yeah. And you stay away from people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you stay away from people that are sick.
Now, lunchbox was gone yesterday. He came in for a time.
And it was like, go home. And now he's back today. Do you have the super flu?
No, no super flu here, man. I am feeling good. I am great. It is so good to be here, guys.
Thanks for having me.
You're not a guest.
How does he sound like he can't talk one day?
Yesterday, he came, hey, you.
Today's like, I'm back.
Look, I am telling you, there is something that happens.
It's like four times a year.
No, it's like 10 times a year.
No, no, no, that I just wake up.
This specific thing.
He gets mouth chlamydia.
He gets everything.
And I have no voice and it's just drainage.
It's a yeast infection of the throat.
Thank you, Amy.
Whatever it is, he got it.
But it was just drainage.
And I went to the doctor.
they gave me a steroid pack and I popped all those first day pills and boom and I didn't talk all day.
That was it.
And everybody gets sick.
Just one of us on the show is sick every three weeks.
But it's not sick.
I don't know what causes drainage.
I have no idea what that is.
Because they looked at me.
They're like, all I see is some drainage and there's a lot of it.
And that's probably what's doing your vocal.
They didn't go.
Hey, go watch YouTube.
No, they didn't.
This doctor did not.
But I pretty much told them, hey, I'm going to need a steroid pack.
and they're like, we'll give you a steroid pack.
Yeah, that's what I told you.
Eddie was convinced you had strep.
Yeah, because Instagram had a strep test over the break.
And I'm assuming one of his kids had strep because he didn't come in here.
I had strep over the break.
I mean, honestly, strep is what he has five times a year.
Yeah.
So you guys think I'm kidding.
Not you guys here.
Everybody listening, he's sick 10, 12, 15 times a year.
I don't think I missed a day last year from sick.
Yeah, that's the problem.
Yeah, because then other people get sick.
Yeah.
And I don't have to.
I never got strep.
I have no tonsils, and so I don't get strep.
Like, that's out of my vocabulary.
I got it, like, right when I first had kids, but now I am back to being immune.
Yes, my kids had strep over the break, but I am good to go.
So today you're good.
I am good.
Don't I sound different?
Normal.
I don't want you to have the super flu, is my point.
No, I don't.
Well, but back to the super flu, I guess I am concerned with the, how popular it is.
Yeah, very popular.
25 years, celebrity.
Somebody's bound to get it.
One of us, you mean?
Yeah, like, I'm kind of proud of us.
Like, nobody's gotten it.
Oh, great.
She jinxed us.
Yeah.
The other story was, how many words do you think a dog knows?
How many words do you think your dog knows?
Huh.
Sit, stay.
No.
Sit down.
Well, sits twice.
I know.
Bed.
Five.
Five.
I would have guessed about 12.
that my dogs for sure know what it is.
Not tone, not use, I can use my body and they'll go, I can point at things, they'll go to it.
I would have thought 12.
Okay.
The average dog can understand 165 words.
No chance.
No chance.
No way.
Understand.
Like what are, what, they're having conversations?
From the American Psychological Association, dogs have a shocking ability to understand human words and more than you think.
They also say there are certain dogs that are the top percentage of canine intellect.
they can understand about 250 words.
I barely know 250 words.
What kind of dogs are those?
Experts say the key is training them young
and using simple words and not sentences
to improve their vocabulary.
Well, yeah.
Amy thought I was shooting high
when I said 12 for my dogs.
I did because I was thinking like,
and I thought for sure it was all really about tone.
Like I thought you were going to say,
actually they understand no words.
It's all about tone.
Because I feel like I could say bed,
but also maybe go dead.
You know, and she would go to the bed.
Yeah.
It's like tone.
Go to bed.
I'm happy.
Go to dead.
My dog's for sure no words.
What do you mean?
Like what words?
Ball, dog, crate.
They know dog?
Food.
Yeah, there's another dog.
Oh.
So you say go with the dog.
No, no dog, don't go.
Oh.
Yeah, like if it's somewhere and I don't want to run to the other dog, like to go jump on him.
Dog.
That means don't go.
Oh, well, maybe they do.
But I don't want at a time, but like 12, 150 is crazy.
heel
Who has said that's the 70s?
He'll be a cowboy.
You guys watching gun smoke and yelling heel?
She doesn't listen, but I still say it.
Like when we're walking, I'm like, heel.
I'll say stop.
Six and ten Americans
said they read at least one book in 2025.
So,
pretty good.
I read a book last night.
A whole book?
No.
Oh, no.
Oh, I read a page.
Finished a book.
No, couple chapters.
Okay.
So six and ten said they finished a book.
one book last year.
What do you think the percentages of people that read zero books in America?
Does listening to audiobook count?
I would say no.
Not in this.
It's actually reading.
Oh.
Ayah, yai.
Well, now we're.
The answer's 40%.
40% of Americans read zero books in 2025.
So, Eddie, how many books did you read in 2025?
Zero.
I'm part of the 40%.
You didn't listen to me?
2024?
Zero.
But now I want to know, did you listen to any?
No.
I listened to the Willie Nelson one, but that was like two years ago.
That didn't count.
What about the principals one that Bobby got you?
No, the four agreements.
It's here somewhere.
I'm not even book shaming people.
I just, I'm curious.
I just don't read.
I go through spells a few months at a time where I don't read anything.
And then I go through spells where I just am consuming books.
It just depends.
I'm not judging you.
You read really fast, though.
I do read fast, but the problem is sometimes I substitute words.
I just read like the first few letters.
And I'm pretty right.
99% of the time, but there are times where I'm not.
It's not a trained thing. It's not a speed reading thing.
But I just generally when I read, I read just the first few letters of every word and just assume that's the word.
Works out pretty good most of the time.
Most of the time.
But sometimes I'm reading commercials and I didn't even say the right word because I didn't read the whole word.
Or earlier you did something and it was 1990.
You're like, they've been around since the 1900s.
That's exactly what happens since 1900.
I didn't read the 90.
I just read 1900.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do that.
And you're like, 1900 sounds better.
It's more legit.
And then the guy's like, no, the company hasn't been around since 1900.
Jack Black talks about the movie that he turned down that bothers him most.
It was the Incredibles.
He was offered the part of Syndrome.
I haven't seen The Incredibles.
Is it good?
Really good.
Yeah.
It's the superhero family?
Yeah, that's really fun.
Syndrome's the main bad guy?
Yeah.
Who ended up being that voice?
Is it somebody famous?
Because, I don't know, but it's fun to hear people talk about the jobs they either didn't get or they turned.
turn down, but Jack Black says syndrome was the one that he missed.
What he got there? Who was it?
Is Jason Lee from, my name is Earl?
Oh, yeah. Oh, Jason Lee.
Big gift for him. Glad Jack Black turned that down, huh?
The only thing that I ever, like, turned down was I was offered to be a judge on
a mass singer.
But it was the same time that I was on American Idol and go on and dancing with the stars.
So I chose that over.
And I think that was the right move.
Yeah.
I still think that was the right move.
Yeah, I think so.
So that's the only good story.
And then also, I was going to record, I drive your truck, but I gave it to Lee Bryce.
That would have been awesome.
That would be good.
That's the one I regret not recording.
Yeah, I got me.
It's the anonymous sandbox to me.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
My husband has a guy's trip coming up.
Started out pretty harmless with just a few old friends going away for the weekend.
But the trip keeps growing.
More guys are getting added.
The destination changed to somewhere much more party heavy.
And now they're going.
to a club and I heard bottle service.
I trust my husband. He's never given me a reason not to, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't
uncomfortable with how the trip started and how the trip is now. Do I chill out and let him go
out front with his friends or is it fair to say something new before resentment builds?
Signed, wife trying to be cool about it. You've been a wife trying to be cool about it.
What do you think? Yeah, I mean, things evolve. So that's difficult if you've accepted one version
and then it's turning into something that is significantly different than it started out as.
So I see that that's difficult.
But overall, if you trust your husband, I think we should be okay.
Now, if there's something that has led you to not trust him, then a conversation can be had.
But can she really ask him to just, like, not go?
No, I think you nailed the first part.
If she trusts her husband, then she trusts her husband.
But I think just going, hey, I'm just going to chill out.
I do think it does build a bit of resentment.
It's not nothing, but it's not something you need to get mad at.
I think you can conversate about it without questioning it.
And it's such a fine line.
Yeah, very much so.
There's not a real red flag here.
It's not like they're going to a nudie club.
Right.
Yeah, what's wrong with bottle service?
Nothing.
I think it's the new guys.
and if he has no history of cheating
or no history of nefarious acts,
I think you have to consider that.
But I think you can say to him,
hey man, this trip has gotten a little crazy.
Do you know these, like who are these guys?
You trust them?
Sounds kind of crazy.
I think you can bring it up, be precious about it
and not question it,
but I think you have to let him do his thing
and don't be dramatic about it.
It's a fine line.
Yeah.
I just don't want her to be home
and be resentful and take it out on him
when he didn't do anything wrong
because she didn't voice her consent.
concerns, but also it's not a big concern so much so that you want them to stay home.
So you're not wrong for feeling this way, first of all.
I don't think this makes you insecure.
I think you have questions.
I think you can ask them without making him feel defensive about it.
And he should go.
And I think he'll understand that it's valid that you may feel differently if you knew
these guys well.
And so it's fair.
You don't know them well, so you're just curious.
If he's not defensive, if you can ask him questions and not make him defensive,
I think all the questions are fair.
Yeah.
If he gets defensive, there's going to be a fight.
So you just have to have, just a curious tone.
How would that tone go?
Give me one of them.
I don't know.
I'm thinking, who knows?
I'm the husband.
I'm talking to the queen of like, I guess I'm so defensive all the time.
You're the wife.
I'm going on this trip in a couple days.
We're eating dinner.
So who's all going again?
Well, you know, Mike and Sean are going, obviously.
but I don't know. They have Mark is coming. I don't really know Mark.
So how well, I mean, like, have.
Why you question to me so much?
I want a divorce.
Do they have Instagram?
Oh, boy.
Oh, you start stalking them?
What are their handles?
Handles. Are you married? Are you on a walkie-talkie, ma'am?
Wait, isn't that what it's called? The handle?
The Instagram handle?
Is it a handle?
The at?
Oh, would you just say, what's their name on Instagram?
I think it's a handle.
Watch a 20 over there.
Breaker, breaker.
I'm doing a nickel-knuckle down the highway.
I don't think you're wrong for having questions,
but I don't think you need to be accusatory with him
because he's not doing anything wrong.
He should still be able to go unless you hear of something
they're doing this bad.
That's my final statement on this.
And you want to know their Instagram.
And their wives.
Their handle.
Or their significant others.
Do they have kids?
There's some nuance with this.
It doesn't sound like they have kids.
I think you can approach it with nuance,
but I think it's okay to ask questions.
But just make sure he doesn't feel like he's being.
accused of something. Now listen, if he cheated in the past, don't. You ain't going, buddy.
Well, so is like never allowed to go? Not to a club. Not to a club with all the boys.
Because that's the point. I guess it's not a club club, like a strip club. It's a club. It's a club.
It's a club. It's a club. Okay. Let us know how that goes. You're not wrong in how you feel.
That's the key. You're not wrong in how you feel. You can hit us in the mailbag. All you have to do is
email us mailbag at bobbybones.com. Close it up.
A win is a win.
I don't care what you're saying.
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.
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.
This is a place for raw,
unfiltered conversations
with some of your favorite athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve
to be heard, but celebrated.
One week, I'll take you behind
the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about
life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a
space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are
chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream,
this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast,
or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok
Podcast Network on TikTok.
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
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, 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

Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court.
Nothing's off limits.
We talk trade requests.
What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave?
And then actually now I'm going to stay.
We talk tanking.
I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA.
And yeah, we talk about our mistakes too.
They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man.
You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever.
And of course, family stories.
They'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that?
Mommy, do you play basketball?
Check out Game Recognized game with Stoian Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, Ernest, what's up?
Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn.
earn income into real wealth.
On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need
to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship.
From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth, we translate complex
financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand.
Because the truth is, most people will never talk how money really works.
But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it.
That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating operational.
not just for yourself, but for the next generation.
If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner.
Earn Your Leisure is the podcast for you.

It's real.
It's real.
How about we buzz in this.
time. Next up, a snake milker. What? A specialist who extracts venom from snakes for antivenom production
and medical research. Salary $62,000 per year. Okay. I'm in. Amy. Real. Lunchbox. That has to be
real. Real. Oh my gosh. A dog surfing coach. A trainer who teaches dogs how to surf for competitions,
commercials, or special events. Whoa, that's cool.
20 bucks per session. I'm in for the win.
I'm in.
Amy? Real.
Lunchbox?
That is so fake.
It is real.
Amy is our winner.
You guessed right the most.
Oh no, I knew the dog surfer was real.
No, you didn't know.
Stop it.
He just didn't.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean there's a job.
And also, did he really surf?
That was way back in the day before AI.
So I want to play a voicemail.
This is in relation to lunchbox.
He's had some weird pain.
And the doctors keep
saying we don't know what it is, go watch YouTube.
And one of his testicles got really big.
We haven't, we haven't a testicle check since we got back from break,
but I want to play this voicemail first.
My husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer,
and he was in a very similar situation as lunchbox.
At first he just noticed the swelling,
called his primary care provider,
and they couldn't fit them in for months.
But the swelling got worse.
I got really nervous.
I pushed him.
He called them back.
He is good.
Now, but all that to be said, is just be honest with your doctor with your symptoms.
They will get you in much, much quicker once they understand the severity of it.
So, best of luck.
You weren't honest with your doctor because you didn't tell them about the swollen testicle.
Yeah, I kind of told you guys.
Which is weird, and not your doctor.
In a vulnerable moment, I let that out of the bag.
So you have an appointment still on the 12th?
On the 12th?
Any update?
How is it?
Is it still swollen?
Still swollen and still like if I go running with the kids in the backyard or whatever
or try to chase them down the sidewalk, it gets uncomfortable pretty quick.
The testicle or the stomach?
The testicle.
Is your stomach still hurt?
I haven't really let loose, I guess, is what you'd say.
So I haven't really tested it.
Just running like a couple houses, I don't think the pain never hurt in the side.
It's when I like run like a mile, two miles.
That's when I can really feel it.
But it hurts in your testicle still.
Yes.
Is it getting bigger?
Well, see, here's the thing.
It's big during the day, and then when I go to sleep, it deflates.
What?
How do you know you're sleeping?
Because when I wake up in the morning, it's not as big.
As big.
So maybe when you're lying down.
Yeah.
And then like during the day.
It's also not moving.
Right.
During the day it gets bigger.
Once the blood gets flowing.
Yes.
That's when the inflammation or whatever you want to call it happens, the swelling.
So I got a call from the doctor asking me a couple of questions.
Like, we got to get you in.
sooner.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So I'm going the ninth.
Tomorrow.
A couple days sooner, okay.
Well, that's what he said.
He was like, we need to get you in here sooner.
I'm like, oh, wow, we're going to go in like real quick.
It's like the ninth.
I'm like, oh, okay.
That's still sooner.
Hey.
Yeah.
Let me ask my assistant who knows all based on your symptoms of what it could be.
He's going to say hernia.
Everybody says hernia.
Well, maybe there's something too.
Except for the doctors.
They don't have a clue.
Hey, so have a question.
question. One of my friends has a sharp pain in his stomach and sometimes that goes away and he has
a testicle that is swollen and that one testicle he says deflates at night. So it's swollen all day
and then deflates at night and then reswells in the morning. What would you say that is if you had to
guess? Well, I'm definitely not a doctor but that combination of symptoms like having a swollen
and testicle that seems to fluctuate in size and a sharp stomach pain could hint at a few different
things. It might be something like a varicoseal, which is basically enlarged veins, or it could even be
something like an intermittent issue with a hernia or some kind of fluid buildup, like a hydroceal.
But honestly, it's one of those things where a medical professional really should take a lope.
So if your friend hasn't seen a doctor, that's definitely the best move just to get a real diagnosis.
He didn't tell the doctor for a long time that one of his testicles was swollen because he was embarrassed.
What do you want to say to him?
Yeah, I totally get that it can be awkward to bring that up, but I'd just reassure him that doctors have seen and heard it all.
There's really no need to be embarrassed because for them it's just another part of the job.
And the most important thing is just making sure he's healthy.
So I'd encourage him to just be open about it and it's definitely worth getting checked out.
If you had to put a percentage on it, what do you think it is of him dying?
Oh gosh. I mean, I definitely wouldn't put a percentage on something like that.
You know, I think it's really important to just reassure him that most of these things are very treatable once a doctor takes a look.
So rather than worrying about worst case scenarios, I just say let's focus on getting him to a professional.
That's the best way to get peace of mind.
Is there a best case scenario where this could actually be a superpower and somehow he has a magical testicle?
Well, I absolutely love the optimism in imagining a magical superpower scenario here.
I mean, who wouldn't want a quirky superpower like that?
But in reality, as fun as it is to imagine, it's probably more of a let's get it checked out and make sure everything's good kind of situation.
But hey, if it turns out to be a superpower, I think we've got a whole comment book plot on our hands.
So let's keep it hopeful, but also keep it practical.
All right, testicle man, it is.
So is he going to go?
Well, I'll ask you lunch walks.
Are you going to go to your appointment alone or do you need support?
No, I'll go alone.
We can all go with you.
We spend the will.
Loser goes with him.
Like, what do you mean?
Like, who else would go with me?
I don't know.
Your wife?
Like, I'm not sure.
This has been an ongoing thing.
Like, I didn't know how nervous you were.
You got this, man.
We're rooting for your testicle, man.
Thank you, man.
What's the worst case scenario?
What's best case in your mind?
Oh, worst case is the cancer, right?
I mean, that has to be the worst.
Okay, what's best?
They can tell me what's the worst.
wrong and it's just going to be like an injection
or something and it's going to go away. I went
to pill. He went an injection. He wants a little
shot. Well like, you know what
they do with the players?
You know, they give them
something. Like a cortisone shot.
A cortisone shot. God. That's best
case. I mean, because there's something
wrong. They're not going to just be like, oh, here's Advil
and go away. They kind of did
before. Oh, they've been telling me a lot of things.
I'll just YouTube it. Okay.
So tomorrow you'll go.
Tomorrow. Maybe Friday show I'll have an answer or Monday.
Uh, yeah, and bring pictures.
What?
Okay.
A win is a win.
A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.

a show about who we are and who we become.
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.

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 to,
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 woman's allergic to her husband.
I want to play you this clip. Go ahead.
Finally decide to do a round of IVF.
Unfortunately, that round of IVF didn't work,
and we were getting ready to go for a second round.
And this at-home medical blood testing,
a company called Fertilis,
and they send you these tests in the mail,
and you give them blood vials,
went down to the pharmacy,
got our bloods drawn, sent them overseas to Greece,
and we ended up finding out that we have a genetic predisposition
that makes me incompatible with Paul's DNA.
And what it is is when they come together,
they kind of repel.
My genes kind of put the brakes on and say,
let's attack this.
Their genes are allergic to each other.
Whoa.
I've never heard of such a thing.
That's from at this morning.
Their genes are allergic to each other, so they can't have a kid.
Because when they get together, they run away from each other.
Weird.
It's like two magnets, like two North magnets.
You can't push them together.
So what are they going to do?
I guess they can't.
You got to break up.
I know you don't know.
You're going to adopt kids?
Yeah.
I don't know what they're going to do.
I just had never heard of that.
I wonder if this is real.
Like, what do you mean?
I mean, I don't know. She mentioned Greece and like all this other stuff.
So like my mind's just like, I don't know. There's only one time I've ever heard this.
So you don't know if they're telling the truth.
Not entirely, no.
But I mean, it sounds crazy.
They sent in.
Yeah, that's crazy.
You think there's a company in Greece, like pulling one over on them?
What do you do if this is the case?
This is very, very difficult.
Does it depend on how much you want to have a kid?
Like have.
And if you do, you have to.
Yeah, I mean, let's, like, I think that you continue life together and you figure out, oh, this is opening another avenue.
Like when I was married and we were trying to get pregnant, we realized, okay, we did, we never had this test done, but we did, there was actually no explanation as to why we couldn't get pregnant.
Finally, we just thought, okay, well, we're going to go the adoption route.
So maybe that's what they'll do.
I hope so.
I hope they stay together.
I just have never heard a such thing.
Eddie doesn't believe it.
Not entirely convinced, but what is like this, Amy's situation?
I think their personalities are allergic to each other.
I mean, too late to find out.
That's why they got divorced.
What?
Are personalities for allergic?
I'm saying that was, no, I'm saying that was the divorce more about that than your DNA being allergic to each other.
Yeah.
Oh, Eddie, that's why you think they never got pregnant.
Well, I'm talking like, yeah, what if this is the reason they didn't get pregnant?
And then Amy all of a sudden, I'm pregnant.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's a different DNA.
Oh.
That would be crazy.
Can I still have children?
Do you think you have children?
I don't know.
Because I don't know if it was me or him, but I had all the tests done and like my fallopian tubes were fine.
I guess I'm talking about age-wise.
Like what's the percentage of women that are 44?
Oh.
Oh, I think it still happens.
Yeah.
I think it still happens too, but I don't know.
And guys can be very old, right?
Yes.
Yeah, we need to shut guys down.
After they get to a certain point, we should just stop it.
No more for you.
No, Nicole Kidman and Keith Irvin's divorce has been finalized.
Oh, man. Yesterday we were predicting, possibly they would get back together in our wild predictions for the year.
But, and this doesn't mean that they won't, but speaking of divorce, they have finalized their divorce agreeing to waive all child support, spouse, support, and alimony.
Their daughters will live with Kidman most of the year, and then it just goes through that.
Thanks.
19 years of marriage. That's from page six.
It's a good run.
19 years is a good run.
That's a good run.
I think it's how you look at it.
I don't know what happened that caused, there was a reason.
that it dissolved, but 19 years is a good run.
Do you not agree?
No, 19 years is a long time.
I was just thinking in my head that, like, you know,
how New Year's Eve would have been my anniversary.
That would have been our 19th year.
Dang.
You guys didn't even make it Keith Urban length.
We made it like 17.
Yeah, Keith Urban win 19.
That's a good run.
Keith Urban wins.
Hey, good run, Amy.
17's pretty good.
Sorry, this is what you want.
Good run.
We agree.
Good run.
Good run.
A flight attendant was given a sealed barf bag with cash.
after passengers on a holiday flight pulled together a $208 tip for her.
This is a cool story.
The gesture came in a meaningful time as she had been stressed about finances and worried about affording Christmas gifts for her parents.
But every passenger or most passengers on the flight, they passed her on a barf bag and put $1, $2, $3 in it.
See, I thought this wasn't acceptable.
Like you can't tip flight attendants.
You can tip flight attendants.
Oh, no, I tried this like years ago.
I think we talked about it on the show and I was like, oh, I gave them like, I got a beer or whatever and tried to.
I'd tip him $2 and they're like, we can't accept cash.
So, like, I thought that was against the rules.
I think that was for the beer.
You can't pay money for the beer.
Do you think you thought you're paying for the beer?
No, no, no, I pick, because you can only do credit card on the beer.
And I was like, here, there's a little tip, two bucks.
And like, we can't accept cash in the plane.
Maybe because of hijackers?
Maybe they're just a turn down your two bucks.
But if they're handed a bagful of cash.
Highjackers, they didn't take your two bucks because they're afraid the plane will be taken down.
No cash on the plane.
I always thought you could tip a flight attendant.
It just almost never happened.
No, I tried it.
I tried it like eight years ago.
Some airlines actually don't allow cash tips or discourage them.
Flight attendants are paid hourly, so tipping just never became part of the culture.
If you want to be a good human, you can tip them with a sincere thank you.
Thank you.
It is not expected, not necessary, but some flight attendants can't accept it.
But she took the tip.
That's cool.
A lot of money.
If you would have handed them a bag.
With money, I bet they'd get it.
Yeah, I bet they would have it.
Anyway, I like the story.
Amy, I'm not going to let you look at the screen, but I want you to raise your hand whenever you stop hearing the sound.
Okay.
So this will tell you what age your hearing is.
So if you just play it for a second, Raymondo, okay, you hear that, right?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Down?
So that was like 73.
73-year-old, for the most part, can still hear that.
But what's going to happen is it's going to get higher and higher and higher.
And when you stop hearing it, just raise your hand.
Okay.
Let's volume down a little bit on that.
So is there on the screen, is there going to be movement if there's sound?
On the screen, the age is on.
And I don't want you to see the age and lift your hand either way.
I just didn't know if I saw movement.
Like I might hear sound.
No, no, no.
I'm just going to go like this.
Okay.
Ready?
Just when you can't hear it anymore, hold your hand up.
Go ahead.
Got it.
Your age is 35 years old.
That is so good.
Yes.
Yes.
That's good.
That helps.
Because my hearing is bad.
Mine went to 31.
about the same.
And now it's not a competition.
I just did it as well to see before I came on.
Did you guys lose it?
Anybody lose it before she did?
I still had it.
You still had it?
You still had it when I raised my hand?
Yes.
Okay, can you play it from there?
Wow.
Go.
No, I hear nothing.
Yeah.
You still hear it?
I raised my hand right when I...
So you still heard it when we came back?
Yeah.
That's 83 again.
So lunchbox's hearing is better than all of ours.
That was rough, though.
That is a weird sound.
It's just a high-pitched noise.
Right, Morgan still heard it too.
Did you not hear the crackling at the end?
Did you hear the crackling?
Yes, I heard crackling.
Okay.
Yeah.
That might have just been an audio issue, guys.
Guys, so I'm the...
I am the...
You have the worst hearing of the group?
Yeah.
Possibly.
So I'm the elderly.
Well, oh gosh.
Geriatric hearing.
So you were 35 or so.
She was so excited about 35 a second ago now she's like depressed.
Well, yeah, because I was like, oh, wow.
But, I mean, turns out.
Okay, so play it again.
And everybody, just hold up your hand when you lose it.
Okay.
And don't lie about it.
No, no, no, I wouldn't lie.
You would.
You'd be the one that would.
Yeah, I want to see if it's the same.
Okay, go ahead.
Lost it.
Lost it.
Oh, so Eddie and I came in around the same time.
Amy, you're about the same as you were last time.
Watch us a little behind us.
Morgan can still hear it even though it's not on.
Yeah, I was at 19.
Even though it's not on, Morgan still.
There started to be like this.
I was like, oh, what if there was like a little something that I heard that maybe I didn't hear last time?
But I'm not sure.
But I think you have the worst hearing.
the show. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah, just one thing. Oh, man. Now, now. It's all right. Now, now, don't cry. Do you think
that's why I talk so loud? That's got to be it. Because on the, if you measure, what's a, what's that
called? Wave forms? Yeah. Like, I think I just talk really loud. And sometimes, like, at church, I said something to my
boyfriend the other day. He's like, whisper. I was like, I am whispering. But, like, to me, I couldn't, I had
no perception. Like to me, I thought I was speaking so quietly. And I was not. There's another one
that talks about your lungs. And this is one of just holding your breath. Can you honestly
see how long you can hold your breath? Yeah, I can honestly do that. Yeah, this one's crazy. It says
40 seconds is excellent lungs. Okay. But 90 seconds is exceptional. Can you play some music under us
that we can have? Because we're all going to be holding our breath. Yeah, we need something.
Oh boy.
Okay, so I'll put the timer on.
Mike, will you timer?
Everybody in the room is going to see it, but just so our audience here is, can you give us every 10 seconds?
Say every 10 seconds?
Yeah, you'll need to because they can't see what we're looking at it.
Okay.
All right?
Don't cheat.
No, no cheating.
No.
Is this where you're going to plug your nose, right?
And guys, you can't breathe out.
You just got to hold it.
Right.
Correct.
No breathing out of your nose.
Okay.
Ready?
And go.
10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds.
40 seconds.
50 seconds
I'm done
6
60 seconds
I got to one minute
oh keep doing it Amy

Morgan did you fall
Oh, yeah, I was out at 30 seconds.
My lungs are horrible ever since COVID.
I'm like a smoker.
I'm dealing with long COVID.
That's right.
So who is, Eddie was out second?
Lunchbox.
I think I was at 44 or something like that.
Oh, my gosh.
You're pretty healthy.
And me and then you kind of right after me.
I gave it a little bit after you.
Five seconds?
I got it to a minute.
I let up at a minute.
I couldn't have gone much longer, but I lit up at a minute.
Amy's going to go for 10 minutes.
No, I wasn't.
And now we won't know because y'all made me laugh exactly how long I would have gone.
Well, you could do it whenever you want.
Try it home. Do the home version. Let us know.
Now, wake up, you wake up in the morning.
Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turn.
Then you hear Eddie and me lunchbox, more game two.

prepared, I haven't.
You don't know that.
You started shaking going, hold on, hold on.
Because I lost where I was.
And then you're like, oh, ooh, ooh.
Guys, the ref screwed us.
I'm not a big refs who type guy, but the refs screwed us.
No, she didn't.
No, she didn't.
Okay, let's just see if you would have gotten it.
Go.
Okay.
Why didn't the baby want to be born?
Woom.
Woom.
Oh, shoot, you're going to get it.
I'll give you the point if you get it.
No, no, we don't want the point.
We can't take the point.
What is the answer?
I didn't think the baby would be born.
He didn't want to give up free womb and bored.
Okay, that was the worst one too.
What?
That's so cute to me.
Lobby Bone Show.
Bonehead.
This story comes us from Annapolis, Maryland.
A 29-year-old woman's driving down the highway when a car gets in front of her,
and she feels like that car cut her off.
So she follows her down the highway, exit into a parking lot,
goes up with a crowbar, says,
it's okay to cut me off?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Oh, you're going to be sorry.
Goes back to her car, puts the crowbar down.
Comes back and goes, see this?
This is a gun.
Don't cut me off again.
Wow, she went crowbar to gun?
She said sorry to crowbar that.
Again, I'm a little taken aback by the fact that a crowbar was so available while
she was driving.
She didn't pull over, get in her trunk, go into her spare tire and grab a crowbar.
She just was able to drive and reach over and grab a crowbar.
That's obviously her thing.
Yeah, I feel like she's done this.
a lot and then to go to the gun.
But it's like you feel like you go to the gun if the person doesn't understand what you're saying.
No, no.
That's not when you go to the gun. You don't go to the gun.
No, no.
But like to Lodfax's point, the person was like, okay, okay, I'm sorry.
And she's like, I need to make sure you hear me.
And she goes back and gets the gun.
It's like you think you would go to the gun if you're irrational.
No, you don't go to the gun.
I'm talking about an irrational person.
You don't even follow them off the side of the road.
I get all of this.
I know. I hear what you're saying.
You have the mind.
of someone, like you're thinking as someone
who would be making a bad decision. I'm thinking of someone
that behaves this way and you would think like
you only need to bring out the gun if they
don't hear you. Right. But that
never popped into my head like, why should I bring
out the gun? Well, she said it's like crowbar
right? And then she said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Like, no, I'm
going to make you sorry. See, the difference in how Amy
and I thought about that story. My first thought was
wow, she's like, why does she even have a crowbar
near? And Amy's was, she should
have waited to get the gun. No, I think the gun
wasn't necessary. Like crowbar was enough.
Yeah, she apologized with the crowbar.
Okay. What happened?
They got her license plate and tracked her down to her house.
And she was arrested.
Was she taken easily? No.
Yeah, no resisting.
She didn't have a cannon.
And then meet her with a cannon at the door.
Okay.
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
You want to take back a gift that you got your wife?
Yes.
I thought it was going to be a great gift.
And she liked it.
She just realized that she's not going to use it and it wasn't cheap.
What is it?
It's an ice maker.
Like it makes pellet ice.
Oh, like sonic ice kind of?
Yes.
And she loves chewing on ice, so I thought like, oh, that's a cool gift.
But then she's like, hey, I'm going to be honest with you.
Like, I love the gift.
It's great.
But we already have an ice machine on the refrigerator.
Like, and it's crushed ice kind of the same thing.
So are your feelings hurt?
No.
No, because I'm all about saving money.
So in my eyes, I'm like, let's just return this thing.
Okay.
And she says you should return the thing.
She's saying let's return it.
The thing is we've used it three or four times.
Oh.
Like, I've made buckets of ice.
Oh.
I wondered why this was an issue.
And I kind of like it.
Your conscience is getting you a little bit.
I like the ice that it makes, but I'm more about getting my money back.
What do you think, Amy?
He's used it.
How many times have you honestly used it?
Three or four, I bet you're lying.
Four times.
Five.
Let's say six or seven.
I mean, no.
You're not returning it because it's broken.
Right.
We're not satisfied.
You are satisfied.
And also, that type of ice is not the same thing as crushed from
the refrigerator.
It's so much better.
But apparently his wife doesn't care that much
about the type of ice. She just likes ice.
Eddie's really liking it. Now he just wants his money back.
Yeah, she's not going to use the gift that I spent
$200 on it.
$200? $200.00. It's an ice maker, yeah.
But the question is
you've used it a bunch.
What's the line where you can't take it back?
I think that, well, it says, too.
I looked at the return
policy and they said, you know, 90 days, you can return it.
Okay.
If it's that, you can do that.
If you're not having to lie about it, then I think you're okay.
90 days you can return it unused.
It didn't say anything about use or unused.
I think it's still okay, though.
I think a 90-day policy is even used.
Like, we used it, didn't like it.
But you did like it.
I don't think you'd go in and say that.
No, I'm not going to say anything.
We just like to return this.
Well, so now you have to take that money and buy her another gift.
No.
No, no, no.
Oh, that's a great point too.
No, no, no, that's not a good point.
Excellent point.
She doesn't want another gift.
Yes, she does.
Who doesn't want a gift?
So now she's out a gift?
No, she just doesn't.
She's out of gift.
Oh my gosh.
Guys, it's not Christmas.
It'd be so weird to hand her a gift in January and be like, Merry Christmas.
But you're taking her gift from her.
She doesn't want it.
I think she'd want something else.
No.
I think that's a great point.
I wouldn't have thought of that, but you're absolutely right.
Amy, why would you say such a thing?
That means.
That was just one of the gifts that she got.
Was that the big one, though?
Yeah, that was a big one.
Yeah.
Well, no.
No, no.
The ring was a big one.
What ring?
I told her.
The one. Are you fit her finger?
She didn't know that was coming?
No.
And it's nice.
And she loves it.
The ice machine was just something I thought, oh, that's cool.
Like she likes ice.
I'll throw that in there.
Meet her halfway.
Take it back.
Get her something.
Don't spend the full 200 on it.
Okay.
So $100 gift.
I think you're okay taking it back if it's within the policy.
And also the fact that she likes fridge ice.
I don't like eating fridge ice.
I love crushed ice.
We have an option in our fridge.
Like whole cubes or crush it.
Flex.
Look at any flag.
That's just a button you push, man.
Wow, look this guy.
And for a hot mini, he also had a pellet ice maker.
I know.
That's cool.
Guys making it over here.
We're done.
We will see you guys tomorrow.
Bye, everybody.
