It's time for the Bobby Bones Post Show.
your host, Bobby Bones.
Hello, everybody. I'd like to start with a couple things from Morgan number two.
A couple notes that she sent me. The first is she thinks we need to have a special day here at the studio.
And I'll let you take it from there, Morgan.
I mean, I think we need to have a cleaning day because my clean anxiety is like going through the roof.
The guys think it's a locker room. There's like clothes all behind here that they leave every day.
we've got like papers and sticky notes all over between here and the glass room.
I'm just, I'm a little embarrassed when people come in.
Cleaning or like tidying?
Both, both.
Yeah.
Well, Amy, last time we checked, you had all kinds of stuff.
That was lunchbox being a hater.
That was a lunchbox being a hater and I had already cleaned out all the paper.
And what are you doing?
You're looking.
Can I look under your desk?
Yeah, you can come look under here.
It's tidy.
I cleaned out all the paper that you were.
accusing me of. Accusing, it was there.
Yeah, but not when you accused. It was already gone.
Oh, point, Amy. Also, Morgan is not wrong. And I think that there's been times where I'm like,
I just need to, we should come up here on like a Saturday and like wipe things down and
clean like the green room where the guests come in. I just, yeah. You could do it today after
the show if you guys want. No, but like I need you guys to take your clothes home. Like, this is not a locker
room.
That's Eddie's clothes. To them, it might be.
I think they just treat this like they treat their house, honestly.
Correct.
Our house looks like this.
Okay, but you don't live with us and we have different rules in this house.
Oh, sorry.
Amy, what are you doing?
I'm getting my chapstick that fell.
Oh.
Okay, so instead of having a clean day,
Morgan, what would you like to say to whomever that they could do a little bit better?
I think we just need to keep our spaces.
This is a shared working space.
I agree.
And when it's a shared working space, we have to keep it clean.
Like, when things are done for the day, pick it up, clean it up,
before you go home and then every day, you don't have to worry about this long and there's
50 shirts here that you have to bring home. There's just maybe one or whatever. So every day,
just clean it up a little bit before you head home. And when you say worry about it, I don't worry about
it. Can you just be 10% better? Who are you talking to? You? Everyone. Yeah, everyone.
Yeah, I need to be too. Like I, if everybody can be slightly better, I think it'll be a cleaning.
This is not your home. Okay. Right. Okay. Sometimes I'm here longer than I'm at home, but we know.
and we have theories.
And another thing Morgan wants to bring up is about the Facebook page because Morgan, her job
never stops because she runs all of our social media, amongst other things.
But in regards to the Facebook page, what would you like to say to our listeners?
I mean, listen, I don't ever like get our page in on politics, and this is not even political,
but I posted a summary statement of like a blog that shared President Biden's State of the Union.
There are very few things I share about the news.
I try to keep it very light, but that's something that affects all of us.
So it's important news.
Do you feel like people say, hey, you should put news up there more?
Yes.
So you get people saying, hey, put more news up.
And then you put up something without any angle, meaning you could have put it up for people to go, hey, hey, he did good or he did bad.
Yes.
You didn't put it up going, he did this.
You just said, here is something.
Here is information.
Here's what was said.
Got it.
Yes.
Got it.
And like, well, I'll post stories about all of us on the show and they'll be like,
who cares?
Why can't you share something else?
Okay, fine.
Let me share some news for you.
Okay?
I do that and they're like, don't get political.
It's not political to share a news story without bias.
That is not political.
It's just simply sharing news.
If I were to be political, I'd say, hey, this guy sucks or, hey, he's great.
That's a political opinion, right?
I'm just wanting to share that, like, we're not getting political.
the show by sharing news.
Okay.
I agree with you.
Yeah.
I do, if you put up anybody that is somewhat political,
people are going to start screaming at...
They just like see Biden's face and they're like, oh,
literally what's happening?
He's the president of the United States, so what are you going to do?
So now where do you stand?
Are you going to continue?
Would you do it again?
Yes, because it's still news.
Like, it's very little.
Like, every time a new president gets elected,
I'll post about that. That's news. It's a very big deal that it impacts all of us, right?
And State of the Union impacts all of us. So I shared it. It's not very often I share it.
So if I share news, I'm not doing it to make you angry.
I feel like Morgan's going to kill one of these people. She's just going to find out where they live and going to go to their house.
I feel bad for her because I know she has to live over her in that space and she has to see this stuff.
And it is very, very, very negative. I don't. I don't. I don't go over there.
maybe twice a year because it's brutal.
And I'm starting to go less and less to the beating page
because it's starting to get a little messy over there.
I think they're trying to clean it up and I hope they do
and I really enjoyed my time over there.
But I think Facebook maybe you just can't,
it just goes to the dark side eventually.
It's just a bad place.
It is funny when they comment, who cares,
at like a personal story.
Bobby's fantasizing this.
Who cares?
Like, we have to talk about something.
We have to fill five hours of content.
And some people do.
Okay, Morgan, thank you.
Yes.
So Cleaner Studio and people on Facebook be nicer.
Two things that are probably never going to happen.
It's just some PSAs I'm trying to put out in the universe.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to have an informal custody arrangement due to Kanye's schedule and travel.
It's expected that Kim will get full custody of the kids and that Kanye will be allowed to see them whenever he wants.
So interesting, interesting that the judge granted her yesterday, her freedom basically, yesterday the day before,
where he's like you're no longer married to Kanye West.
You're now single.
And so, did she drop West?
It's just Kim Kardashian again?
I think so, yeah.
So not that I...
Here's the thing about Kanye.
I don't know what it is.
I love him.
You know, I do.
He's probably got some issues upstairs.
Probably. I think he's admitted to that.
I am not going to...
I'm just going to say probably has some stuff going on
I don't understand or no.
And he's always wacky, and he does things,
and sometimes I'm like, well, I don't agree with that.
But that also, I don't have to agree with something everybody.
I don't have to agree with everything somebody does
to like or not like someone.
You know, and the weird thing, too, is people just generally like Kanye,
but him fighting Pete Davidson,
that makes people maybe not like Kanye,
because Pete Davis is a pretty likable guy.
But even then, and I like Pete Davidson,
and even then I'm like,
I still like Kanye.
I don't know.
I like Kanye.
Like Kanye still puts out music.
Kanye does things differently.
Kanye, I don't know.
I like Kanye, even though he's nuts.
But that's that situation.
That's stories from TMZ.
Polygamist.
You guys know what that is, right?
Yeah.
They're married to multiple people.
Marries triplets on the same day.
Oh my gosh.
After they all proposed to him.
A man proved that good things come in threes
when he married triplets all on the same day.
after they all reportedly proposed to him simultaneously.
Photos of the marital quartet are currently blowing up online.
That is a lot.
That's from New York Post.
He's obliged to marry all of them because they are triplets.
I wonder how that truly works out.
I want honest answer.
Like, is it easy? Is it hard?
I bet it has its difficulty.
It's pretty awesome and a waste too.
Just like any relationship.
Hey, I want to bring in.
Hey, come on in.
Come on up this microphone right here.
You can move that chair.
Yeah, let's talk to you.
for a second. Do you mind hopping on with us?
Sure. Stand right there. That microphone right there. Or you can sit there for whatever makes you feel
good. Paul. Now Paul hop on the microphone so we can hear you there. Paul, you own a lot of
sonics. Yeah, 31. 31. Can you turn them up, Mike? So let me get your mic going here. I have a lot of
questions for you, Paul. An exclusive interview. Mike, let me know when Paul's good. We, as Mike is setting up his
audio. Sonic is our studio sponsor, but Sonic is also my life sponsor, except they don't pay me
to be my life sponsor. I just live very closely with Sonic. I'm at Sonic probably five times a
week, just with no gift cards, by the way, Paul. I don't even want them. I can fix that. There we go,
no, I don't even want them. I'm not even saying like that. I don't have a personal deal where I go
to Sonic and they give me stuff free. I just love Sonic so much. But you own how many Sonics again?
31. How in the world do you get into the Sonic business? Well, when I was 16 years old, I started as a
cook.
So, what's the same partner I'm with today.
You worked there.
I worked there as a cook.
Wow.
So you're cooking at Sonic and how do you make the first step from being a cook to do you get into management or do you manage a store?
Yeah, I went to the store where the intent of getting into management at 16 and didn't want to go to college.
And so I stuck around, got into management, stayed there in management about four or five years and bought my first store when I was 24 years old.
Now, how do you buy a store?
Did you grow up wealthy?
No, poor.
Okay, so how do you buy a store at 24 if you're poor?
The same guy I'm with today as a partner, Dr. David Cooper, told me when I was 17,
I think you can do this.
And if you want to stick around and buy a store, we'll put you in one.
So he had faith in you.
He had faith in me.
And in faith in you as a person, but also as someone that he can make money with.
Correct.
So it wasn't just charity on his part.
He was like, I see something in you.
Right. Wow, it's pretty cool.
He was a full-time dentist in Oklahoma City, which is where Sonic originated.
Shawnee, Oklahoma.
And in 1979, when I started, by 84, we had bought into our store, and then he had several
stores already.
But I bought into my first one in Clarksville, right up the street, and then eventually moved
down to Gallatin, which is where I live now.
Do you own them all around here?
They're mostly in Middle Tennessee.
We have two in Alabama, one in Chattanooga, the rest of them were in the Nashville, DMA.
So the two that I go to most, there's one on Franklin Pike here in town.
I go to that one I go to probably more slightly.
now is the one Brentwood, but it's called Uncircle, some circle, I don't know.
The corporate office is right by it.
Yeah.
Do you own that one?
No.
The Wilson Pike one?
Wilson Pike, yeah.
A friend of mine, David Watson.
He lives in Brentwood.
He owns that one.
You need to buy that one.
Well, he's been around a long time, too.
Okay, so you own all these sonics.
Do you ever just show up and order some food and then go like, let's just see what happens?
Oh, yeah, all the time.
Undercover boss, but like, for real, you ever found someone that does such a good job?
You're like, wow, look at you.
I'm now the owner, and you all of a sudden I'm giving you a free Sonic or something like that.
Well, to be honest with you, the 31 stores that we have, probably 30 of them, started just like me.
Really?
I mean, my daughter.
You're the daughter?
She's my daughter.
She worked for us in high school through college, came back to work, ran a store for us.
Now she works in the office.
But every manager we have pretty much started out like I did.
We brought them in as a cook or a car hop.
They stayed.
They worked their way up.
Now they own 25% of the store.
You know, I tried to get in the sonic business.
There's a town that my wife is from right next to it in Oklahoma.
And like yourself, there's a whole group of people.
They own all the sonic areas.
And I'm like, let me open one right here.
You're not opening it.
And they just, they won't, for some reason, we can't get to do it.
We can talk to somebody.
I've been trying.
We've been talking.
We got, we had meetings.
And for some reason that they own the territory.
There's not one opening there.
but since they own them all, they're like, oh, we don't know.
I'm just, look at my heart, you know what you see?
A Sonic logo.
Oh, I definitely hear that, yeah.
I'm just trying to get in the business.
I'm trying to be like you, if I'm being honest.
I'm trying to be like you.
I have a question.
Yeah, go ahead.
What determines whether or not a Sonic is going to have a drive-through or not?
Just the demographic, where it's at, the location.
Okay.
Like, we've got, of the 31 we have, I think we have seven drive-thrus.
And they're close to the interstate.
or like Nissan Boulevard in Smyrna,
the Nissan plan is 24 hours a day.
We added it right through there and went 24 hours.
So it depends on location where it's at.
I mean, listen, I would get in business and one here with my friend here.
Are there any more space?
Are you going to open any more in town?
We're going to open a few more.
Let's go.
I've been doing pretty good for myself the last few years.
I've got a little scratch and spend it at this.
We can make it happen.
Do you have any other equipment at your house?
Like you can make yourself a Sonic burger at your home?
No.
No. No. Do you steal condiments of your own?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's what I would do.
My dad is loaded full of...
My office is full of condiments, yeah.
Well, let us say that we...
And again, this wasn't part of any deal.
They were just bringing stuff by, and I said to Scuba Steve,
I would like to talk to the guy that owns all the Sonics.
He's a celebrity to me.
You know, we all have people that we think are celebrities
in such a fragmented world of celebrity culture.
But you are my Sonic hero.
Well, thank you.
Well, but also, speaking of condiments,
Are employees supposed to abide by a condiment number rule?
Like if someone says, I'd like some ketchup, is there a number, like how many they're supposed to get them?
Just a handful.
Wow.
Whatever you want.
Wow.
Interesting.
Nice.
So I like a couple things.
The app has made my life so much easier because I order the Bobby Waters that I've named myself.
And I feel like I don't get the respect I deserve it.
But anyway, but Caitlin really did it.
So I really shouldn't get that respect.
The app makes it so much easier because I, I'm.
I can order it, and then I just go,
I don't even push the button.
I just go, I'm here in this stall that's already numbered,
and you bring it right out to the car,
which has made my life so much easier.
Not only that, what else?
Oh, the ones that you walk into in cold weather climates
have to have been game.
I don't know if we have any here,
but just in general, in some of the cities that I go to,
they have Sonics where you can walk inside.
Correct.
And if you live in a place where it gets like 10 degrees,
it's a game changer.
You're going to be sitting in a car window open,
trying to talk to the person through the screen?
Yep.
So, well, thank you.
What's your favorites item on the menu?
Oh, good question.
Oh, it's got to be a burger.
I mean, look at me.
The number one.
I like the barger, like the drinks.
Are you tots or fries?
Tots.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Been a lot of internal discussion
about making this Bobby Caitlin Water a thing.
Oh, trust me, I know.
Oh, I was kidding.
I didn't.
I really didn't think that was against at all.
I was kind of just saying something.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I think this has been a great interview.
Anything else you guys would like to know?
Yeah, yeah. Are you aware? I went on a Friday night one time, like at 11.
Are you aware that it's like in the 1950s at Sonic now, like where every high school kid is there and it's crazy?
I had no idea.
Are you aware that there's a loser side and a cool side?
Yeah.
Of Sonic.
Where you don't want to park on the loser's side.
What's the loser side?
What do you mean?
The one away from the building?
No, the what is it?
That's the cool side.
Yeah, that's the cool side.
Yeah, hey, hey,
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, I try to do a drive-thru,
but, so if you face into the building,
I need to be clear on this.
If you face, if you face the Sonic building,
that's the non-cooled side?
You're just kind of looking at the wall, yeah.
So you want to face the-
You want to park on the remote,
we call it the remote side of the island.
It's cool side.
And you can get out and hang out and talk and that kind of thing.
Didn't know that.
I've been doing Sonic all wrong.
Yeah.
Thank you for coming in and bringing us this and we love Sonic.
Thank you.
And I bet you are, I mean, I'm not going to ask him this question.
But if I could ask any question in the world, I would be like, are you so rich?
That's what I would ask.
But I'm not going to ask that.
But if he wants to answer it.
I feel like being the humble beginnings that he started with, he could probably be honest with you.
You'd be doing pretty good?
I'm doing okay.
Yeah, I like that.
I like what I hear.
What did he say, scuba?
He's got to go?
He probably can't hear me, but I had a question about roller skating?
He's asking a question.
Yeah, I'll repeat it back.
Roller skating?
Do they still do that?
Yeah, they do do it.
Oh yeah, we do.
We do.
Okay, cool.
I haven't seen it in a minute.
The first roller skating car hop that won the national award still works for us today.
We have a skating competition every year, nationwide and our girl here won it.
Oh, do they get paid more if they roller skate?
Yes.
Oh, they get paid more?
Not just tip more, but paid more.
Yeah, they get paid more and get tipped more.
Wait, what?
What?
How do you, how, like, so do they have to try out?
No, and they'll come in and say I want a job and I can skate.
Okay.
Because they see all the girls skating.
girl skating. Because you think skating brings more...
It's more nostalgic. Yeah, it's like... What if they skate into a car and it, like, boom,
we have to fix it. We fixed a few scrape, yeah.
From skates? We fix some dents and some scratches. We've had girls fall and break their arm.
And that's just natural skating. That's just natural skating. I mean, probably you have people
on foot that trip and fall into themselves. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That'd be you, Amy.
My fantasy is that whenever I go to, because I order it on the app and it says Bobby and I order the same thing,
that this is my fantasy, it probably doesn't happen, but that they start fighting over who gets to bring it to me
because there's a legend that I'm the greatest tipper in the world.
That's my fantasy.
Well, actually, when I ran a store back in the 90s, Reba came all the time.
And they would, hey, I want to take her order out.
I want to take her order out.
But we were cool with it.
We didn't bother.
And they skated into Reba's car.
Yeah, she hasn't been back.
She's a true Sonic fan.
I'm really good friends.
She's from Oklahoma.
She's from Oklahoma.
She's real good friends with a friend of mine that I serve on a committee with.
And we'll be in meeting that she'll text Gary and say, hey, Gary, I'm with Sonic Eaton, and she'll send pictures.
And Vince is a big Sonic fan.
He's played golf in our golf tournament several times.
Well, if anyone in Vian, Oklahoma is listening and they want to let us, we're ready.
We're ready to build right now.
They won't give us that.
Well, thank you for coming in.
for the Sonic. Good to see you too.
And we all learned a lot more. And this was not a paid deal
at all. Love it. This is just a good old fashion.
That's it. Something we care about interview.
All right. Thank you guys.
Thanks. All right.
I'm going to have a little.
We're not shutting down, Ray. We'll keep going here.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys. He also didn't expect that to happen.
I think he got here with the boxes.
Scoobo was like, well, you walk in there? I don't think he knew
was going to be on the air until we were like, hey, stand up with that microphone.
He did great. Yeah, he did great.
Most people do great when they don't know they're going to have to do it.
It's the people that don't have to speak publicly.
It's the hours and days ahead of time
where they work themselves into a frenzy knowing it's going to happen.
Where if you're like, hey, just go up here and talk,
they usually do pretty good.
But he did good.
And also, you know, I'm just so warm and lovable.
It's just so hard.
Okay, well, that's good.
We should actually send that to the sonic people.
Pretty good little promo there for them.
But that's also good for you to know, not to park on the...
I had no idea.
A loser side.
Cool side.
So we're old now.
We are losers.
We are losers.
I park in the one that I can pull into the easiest and not to back out in the traffic.
Let's see what other stories I have here.
Let's do the Duelipa thing, Mike.
Do you have those clips ready?
I always like when people are suing other people about songs and stolen songs.
Not that I like they're being sued, but I like that we act like we're the judges.
We can determine if it's being stolen or not.
Duelipa is being sued over her song, Levitating, which I love this song.
I do too.
Here's a clip of it.
There is a
You've got you
Dance with me
I'm leviting you
There is a Florida reggae band
named Article Sound System
They have filed a copyright infringement suit
claiming the hit is a rip-off of their song
Live Your Life
Which they released back in 2017
Why are you laughing?
Because I heard it
Oh, okay
It's crazy
Okay, so
I'm going to say here's a clip of Duolipa.
Is it the same clip?
Okay, we heard that
Here's a clip of article sound system, live your life.
Oh, day, we're on to the sunrise now.
It's so hard because...
Yeah, and I think right away you go, oh, very similar.
But if I'm the judge, I don't think I give them any money.
I don't think it's a rip-off.
I don't either.
I think there's some similarities in the melody of...
But da-da-boo, but then it doesn't go much further than it.
It doesn't stem off the same way.
And I don't think they own that...
own that part of that melody.
I just think there are probably a lot of songs that do that.
You got to think, like, just music in general,
I mean, it can only go so many different ways
before it starts sounding, some parts start sounding the same.
In this case, I think it's just coincidence.
The question is, do they have a case?
I mean, yes, they have a case.
Yeah.
They do.
But I don't know that I would award,
maybe I award them like 1% songwriter if.
Unless someone from her, whoever wrote that, her team is like, okay.
Buddies with one of the article guys.
Or no, like, confession.
heard that album back in 2017 and I was inspired.
Play Duolipa again, please.
There are similarities for sure.
I'm not saying I don't hear it.
But play it again, Ray.
The other one?
It also doesn't go where she goes.
It doesn't.
I go, no.
I hear the similarities, but I go, no.
I'm a judge.
I do not give them any money.
Man, yesterday I brought my son in.
I said, hey, listen to this.
And I played him that reggae song.
And goes, whoa, that sounds just like,
like Dual Lipa and I'm like, got them.
If you're a judge, that's what you do.
You're bringing a tornado.
You're like, hey, listen to this kid.
What are you here?
Doolipa.
I mean, who knows?
What do you think is going to happen?
They could settle.
Just to get it.
And give them a very small part of the songwriting
which they would have some money owed to them.
Which will probably, you know what?
Okay, do it.
I would imagine that song made a lot of money.
Millions.
Oh, yeah.
Millions.
Millions.
Millions.
It makes you think of a company a couple of years ago that ripped off our four things to,
but, like, massive and made a bunch in China.
How much you get?
Well, I didn't.
But they ended up, we had a meeting with them.
Actually, here they came to the building.
I met with them.
And then they ended up cutting a check to Haiti.
That was their compromise.
We were like, okay, well, there's nothing.
But we make these to support Haiti, and they wrote a $10,000 check.
But that would have been nothing based on what they were making.
I think they had, like,
thousands and thousands and thousands of toots that they made.
And ours are made in the U.S.
and, like, there's just a very different vibe.
And he said that he had no idea that the concept came from us.
But as we looked back at their, they're from town, they're from here.
Oh, they're from here.
Someone had posted some, like, we were able to track on Instagram that it was very obvious
that someone on his team had seen one of our totes.
And then they'd got this idea.
And he has the license.
with all the universities for saying,
because you can't just like print,
hook them or whatever other.
Gig them.
Like razorbacks.
Like that's,
there's licensing that goes with that.
And he actually,
his company owns all that.
So he was able to make all these bags in China
and put them in every college campus bookstore and Kroger's.
And where else did?
Like Michael's,
tons of stores.
And so many listeners are like,
Amy,
this is so cool.
your four things to it. I keep seeing it everywhere. And I'm like, no, that's not us.
You can sue to Aleepa. But that's what I don't know, just made me think of that for some reason,
good times. But he did make a donation. That was our settlement. Make a donation. He got pretty lucky.
You settled for that. Yeah. Well, I mean, I didn't want to. We didn't want to have legal fees.
Like, we're just a small. Like, it wasn't a thing. We were like, look, fine. You know who's missing out on
this Haiti? So pay up. One final thing. Back to
We opened and we'll close with Morgan number two.
When she emails, you say something that people are telling you is kind of dushy,
which is thanks in advance.
Now, do you feel, and I'll let you state your thing and then we'll go around the room.
Why do you think that's a thing?
I don't, I mean, I say it because it's like me thanking them for their time and whatever energy
they spend on what I'm sending them.
But like people have told me that it's kind of negative and can like have a negative
tone to it. So I was like, okay, have I been like saying the wrong thing this whole time?
I don't cringe when you say thanks in advance. I don't think it's a thing. I don't think it's
anything. I think it's just dead words that I don't get attention to. It's like how I sign off
sometimes. Like if I send something as a question. Thanks in advance. I'm okay with it. I'm fine.
I've done it. I don't even look. I don't think I notice it. And I don't accept the thanks in
advance, actually. Because you don't get to that part. No, it's just like I don't, I didn't do it yet.
And I don't want advanced thanks.
And if I do it like you're asking and it's acceptable, I'll take the thanks then.
So you break it down more than anyone does in general.
Like, thanks in advance.
I just see it like, cool, no problem.
Yeah, thanks.
You're welcome in advance.
I don't think it's cringe at all.
Okay.
Who told you that?
A few people, actually.
But they were younger than me, so.
Oh, well, then it's probably crunch.
I say let me know.
That's kind of how I signed.
And sometimes I, I'm going real quick ago, LMK.
And then I realize they're going to let you know.
But they also probably don't know what LMK means.
You do LNK in an email?
Sometimes.
That's funny.
But my emails are so short.
Sometimes Kailen will be next to me and I'm writing an email.
And she's like, don't send that.
I'm like, why?
She goes, look at it.
I'm like, yes, I need this.
We'll do this.
B.
She goes, put some sort of greeting in there and then put something at the end so you are a real human, not a robot.
What's the greeting?
Hey, Eddie.
No, it's greetings.
Oh.
Hey, greetings.
Dot, dot, dot.
You say greetings?
Greetings, Ericlings.
On everything.
on everything. Greetings.
Dot, dot, dot.
And then at the end, I'll be like,
hey, thanks in advance.
No, I don't do that, but I'll...
Let me know.
I'll just say thanks or let me know or LMK.
It's good, but why were you reacting at that?
Greetings?
It just feels like, like, Morg and Mindy, like, alien-like greetings.
Okay, from the 80s.
But is that you doing it to be like...
No, I just write greetings all the time.
That's just the thing I write on stuff.
Greetings.
Nobody else really does that.
That's your thing.
You're right.
No one does.
Yeah.
Kind of coined the greeting.
flagging that one.
Ray, how long was the post show today?
We are looking at
29 minutes.
I need you.
I'll give you a chance for 100 bucks and then
let's go.
We got to record. Let's go. Oh, okay.
I think I have 100 bucks. I was in Vegas, so
100 bucks. I thought you lost those.
No, I lost
a little bit playing craps. I don't remember what happened.
I didn't lose at all. I lost it mostly because Eddie was yelling.
He's on a roll! Here we go. Crops.
I lost my money.
Amy, 1-200, go.
