Welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning studio. Morning. All right, let's go up first. He swears this is the Cowboys Year, but he's sworn that every single year. I've known him. Here he is.

Producer Eddie. I don't know what it is. Call me old, but when I wake up in the morning and I see that the streets and the grass has dew in it and it's been raining all night, I get really happy. Why? What about that makes you happy?

I think that I just kind of water my lawn a lot and it stresses me out when I'm watering five days a week. You're still holding on to this. Like you're going to be Mr. Water Plant guy, huh? Oh, well, that's just me. That's my life. Like, I'm telling you that it doesn't matter if I had a bad night, nightmares all night, and there's water on the street. And it's like, I don't have to water that day. I'm like, this is going to be a great day.

Why is that? It's because if you don't water your yard or your plants all die or you just all die. Yeah. just need some sort of hobby. I can't really figure out why you become plant guy all of a sudden. You know what's cool about plants is that's a life. And you are in charge of that life. You have four other little lives in your house.

Yeah, those are more important. Maybe that's just what I do. Is this why they don't know per peeve on you and that's why you like it? They don't annoy me as much. Okay, okay. All right. Thank you very much, Eddie. Next up, he strangely just tried a cucumber for the first time ever.

We can't wait for him to say the same thing about soap and a shower. Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Very rude, but that's okay. And I got to say that we may have to stop using Hello Fresh at our house because it's making it too easy on my wife. Like they ship the meals right to our door, which is great. But the only problem is my wife forgets, hey, we still need snacks around the house. So she doesn't go to the grocery store at all.

You order snacks on Hello Fresh? Yeah, I know, but that's a lot more. I mean, that's a bigger box. I mean, they don't have like potato chips. They got, so you're saying. So what I'm saying. Because of how good it is, your wife has become lazy. Oh, I was I going to say that.

It comes to the grocery store. Like, she's like, we already got our meals. Don't need to go to the grocery store. And I'm like, yeah, but what am I going to eat at 2 o'clock when I'm just like wanting to snack on something? Why don't you get it? You don't, you take naps for three hours. I understand. I could go get it.

But really, I think. You went there. We better bleep that one out. There he is. Thank you very much. Much box. All right. Up next, she graduated from Texas A&M is an agriculture major, but somehow she ended up

talking on the radio every single morning. Here she is. Amy, everybody. So I told you all my daughter got her learner's permit, but we finally got her added to our insurance. So she is driving all the time now with us in the car, obviously. She has to have an adult with her. But I feel like she passed a pretty big test. She pulled into the Sonic order station. I don't even know what there's a little parking spot. Sonic, ooh, that tastes good. I'm trying out. You'll hear more about that later. So, okay, you know, the signs, I feel like it's nerve-wracking because there's cars on both sides. There's a big ordering sign. And she just eased right in there, made it into the Sonic spot.

So I feel like she passed that test. That should be part of the driver's exam. Like, let's pull in the Sonic. Yeah. You got to angle in and you got to stay that angle out. Otherwise, your mirror will hit the sign. Yeah. If you look at some of them, people's cars have just ripped into the, because they can't drive.

I know. And you have to allow room for the server to give you your food, so it's got to be just right. up to where you get the button. I don't know why you just don't go to Sonic in back for your driver's test. You know? I mean, and that wasn't set up because Sonic is a big sponsor of this show. No, this is for real. But that's what we do with our sponsors.

We love them so much. We build driver's tests around them. All right, finally, let's go, Ray. From Mount Pine, Arkansas. He's a New York Times bestseller, and his dogs are Stanley and Ellard. Bobby Bones. Thank you very much. My neck on my right side, it goes down to my neck all the way to my back.

I was carrying firewood because it's now fireplaces in. Do you guys realize that? Yeah. We've now entered fireplace season. So I had to carry a bunch of firewood up to where our fireplace is upstairs. And carrying all the firewood, I put some up on my right shoulder. I was just trying to figure out way to get it all up. And now I've got to get better at being older because it's a thing.

10 years ago, I could have put it all on my shoulders, no problem. But now I've strained my neck to the point where I couldn't even sleep on my side. I like to be on my side and for my wife to hug me. Yeah, a little spoon, right? We like to say wife, hug me. But I couldn't turn on my side because my neck hurt so bad from carrying firewood. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to stop biting strings or tags because I'm breaking teeth. Oh, my gosh.

Yeah, you need to stop that. I'm going to stop carrying things on my neck. And I'm going to stop lifting with my back. Lift with your core? Legs. Legs and cores. And so these are the small steps I'm taking to be a better older person. All right, man.

Good luck. And I want you all do the same. Oh, I don't lift heavy things, so we're good. You don't anymore? No, not really. I do. I mean, I did 300. My dead left.

I heard. I can send you the video if you want to see it. No, I'm good, man. Thank you. Are you? I did 300. Three reps. I'm good, man.

Three reps. Three reps. Three reps. Three hundred. Ray, how is that strong or no? I don't deadlift. That's amazing, though. Thank you.

I'm pretty. So how much is firewood way? It was just how I set on my neck so I could get in the door. Oh, okay. Got you should. And then I put it down and I was like, oh, I spent all night with a therogun last night. All right, that's where we are.

Let's start today's show. It's time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. Thanksgiving is a month and a half away. It's the most important day of the whole year to my mom. She also uses it as an opportunity to point out to everybody

that I am still single. This year I'm thinking about paying a casual acquaintance to come with me pretending to be my girlfriend. I know she can sell it and she'd even be willing to help clean up and chat my mom up. Is this pathetic? Or is it just proof that I am a master of my own convenience and sanity? Signed single during the holidays. Well, the first question is it pathetic yes. Number two, should you do it?

Possibly. It depends how overbearing your mom is about it. Like, if you have a friend that'll do it, it just depends about I can only imagine having a mom that won't shut up about being single and you're like, it's just who I am,

leave me alone, and it turns into something. Is it pathetic? Yes. I want to lead with that, yes, but I've done a lot of pathetic things. If it is so bad,

you can do one or two things. Have an uncomfortable sit down with your mom. But it's not, Thanksgiving's not the time to do that. That's the healthy thing. Yeah, sure.

The holy thing is not always what's going to actually work or make it comfortable. I like comfort. Okay. At Thanksgiving, though, that's a tough, that's tough for everybody, because Thanksgiving's not about healthy. Thanksgiving's the opposite of healthy. Oh, that's right.

You don't eat very healthy. No, we're just together. Thanksgiving's about, hey, let's all just smile and not talk politics, not talk about things that make us tick. We're together. Let's just enjoy it and all find what we relate to each other over. And that's it. Eat our turkey. See you in Christmas.

So probably you could have that talk with her before, but then you can't take the friend. you can't have that talk with her at Thanksgiving and also it depends how much the friend costs you're gonna get caught lying is the thing so you should just know that you're going to get caught because either the friend's gonna

mess up and say something wrong eventually you're gonna admit it it's pathetic but if you just need it as a stopgap until that conversation with your mom I understand do I recommend you do it no I just say you go you take it you grit your teeth you don't get in a fight about it

And between Thanksgiving and Christmas, that's when you go, stop. I'm going to be single for a long time. And so I dealt with this a bit where it came up a lot. Like, why are you still single? Because in my hometown, you got married to 18 or 19. You went to work at the mill. And I was 32 or so when my mom is still alive. And I never had a serious girlfriend.

And so here's the thing. If she is so crazy, you feel like you have to. I'm not going to judge you. Judge Free Zone. I would say you don't do it. unless you really, really have to, but then you got to have the talk after Thanksgiving and be like, that was a lie.

I just needed to get to get to the date. You're going to get caught. You're going to get caught in the lie. It's too big of a lie. So that's my advice. Don't do it unless you really feel like you have to. And if you do do it, let us know and tell us exactly how it went. I want every detail.

I want to know how much money. I want to see a picture of you guys. You got to hold hands. You got to kiss a little bit. That's awkward too. You're acting. It's the whole thing. So don't do it unless you really,

really have to. But if you do have to, we will not judge you on this show. good luck with the holidays. The holidays are stressful. In every way. For people that have the greatest families, people have no families. People that have no families who now have families. That's me.

It's like, oh boy, I don't really know how to do this yet. I'm new. I'm new to doing family stuff. So just understand you're also not alone and going, oh, the holidays are tough. They're tough for everybody, but they're also awesome, hopefully. All right, that's what's up. That's the mailbag. Close it up.

We've got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. On the phone, Jacob. Jacob, appreciate you calling. What's going on, buddy? Hey, morning, studio. Morning. Hey, so I am 28 years old over from Arkansas.

I've never met my biological father. And when I was around 10 and 11, he passed away. Well, never met his side of the family, never talked to them. When now all of a sudden, his brother, my uncle, he called me, and he wants to meet up and come down from California. and meet me. And I really don't know how to approach this after never seen them, never talking to them or anything. I'm just seeking some advice on how I can do this. Are you worried that they're up to something?

Like, what would be the negative here in your mind? I don't really see any negative coming from him. I've never heard anything bad. It's just kind of a shocker who's like out of my whole life. They've never reached out to me. And why would they reach out to me now? I don't think it's something you question, honestly. If there's no ulterior motive where you're like, okay, they're coming to me because of money

or they're coming to me because of the accent, I don't think it hurts ever to meet someone who's in your family. I can also tell you this. So the quick version, I don't know. I mean, I know my real dad a little bit now, but I didn't know him forever. I only remet him a few years ago for the first time after 30 years. And so, you know, I don't have an interest to talk to him all the time, but I don't hate him anymore. and if you showed up, I said, hey, let's go to lunch. I'll go to lunch with him.

Cool. But not only that, I have a half-brother that I may have met twice in my life. That's his son, who I probably haven't seen since I was 12. I think he was like four or five of the time. And, you know, I was talking to my wife, like, for no other reason, I'm like, you know, I should meet him. I get to know him. He's my half-brother. And so I would hate for him to go, why is he, why is Bobby calling me now?

Like, what is his motive? no motive except as we get older we go dang maybe i should just shut things down with this person because i shut things down with another person and honestly the uncle could have been i don't think i should reach out because that's weird between him and his dad maybe he felt like there was some sort of boundary he shouldn't cross because of his brother i would simply say be open to it if he wants to travel to you and have lunch you absolutely lose nothing but you could possibly gain something and that's an uncle that's family member that's blood that's genetics so I say go for it, meet them.

Worst case is, you don't ever see them again. Best case is, you got a new family member that you could call or trust when times aren't great. Hey, I appreciate you. That's good advice right there. I think so, too, guys. I think that was good advice too. Hey, Jacob, good luck, man. I know that's some heavy stuff, and I know that it's been weighing on you,

but I encourage you to, you know, charge at it and go and meet your blood, go and meet your family, and hopefully you guys are cool after this. You probably won't be super close, but maybe you will be. Yeah, maybe you never, you never. You never know. You never know. Hopefully it turns out good. Hopefully it does.

Well, let us know how it goes, okay, buddy? Oh, thank you. All right. Have a good day. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Ryan Carney, he lives in Illinois, and he was dealing with his dad's brain cancer.

And while they were going through all that, the dad lost his ability to speak. And it was very strange, and they didn't know how to deal with that. And then all of a sudden, one night, the song Stand By Me came on. And the one thing the dad could say was sing the song to sing the song to sing. stand by me. Like Benny King. Yeah, when the night. So he's like, this is crazy. So he started to learn how to play cello so his dad would just kind of keep talking and singing songs because that was the only way to do it. And he realized how important music was to healing his dad. So now what he does is he goes to retirement homes and he plays the cello for people because he realizes that it just

makes them really happy and it makes them feel better. And here's him talking about why he does it. I get to help people trigger that chemistry in their heads through music. It is the absolute greatest feeling in the world. You could close your eyes and just feel like you could float away. It's a sweet story, but I hear I'm playing piano. Don't tell me. What was that? Like a Disney song?

Chopen. Somewhere over the rainbow? Yeah, somewhere. That's it, Amy. Yeah, it's good Chopin lunchbox. But yes. Chopin. I did see a video that was super cool, not this one, but something like it, where people that are suffering from older people that suffer from dementia or even Alzheimer's, they will go to them and they'll talk to their kids or their grandkids and find out what music they really liked as a kid.

And they can play those songs. And it's the closest thing to a, I don't know, this probably is the right term, but like a snap out of it. Yeah. You can't because it's such a debilitating disease where they actually like remember. It brings clarity to them. because music does that. It hits a part of the brain. And that feeling that happens

when they hear that song is the same feeling then and so they're able to connect the two. So really great story. You're not going to believe me, but when I was younger, I thought I'd do music therapy for a living. I do believe you because you do music.

Yeah, but then I realize, like, I'm not smart enough for that. You do music and you're a good guy. Yeah. Maybe you aren't smart enough for. I don't know. Maybe you weren't. I don't know.

Maybe you're smart. Eddie, you're smart. Thanks, man. Thank you. That is what it's all about. Tell me something good. Most American homes have at least one of these, but more than two-thirds of them no longer work.

That's the question. As we play our game, never going to get it. You're never going to get it. That's right. Let's put Rachel on the phone here. Rachel, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Really good morning.

I hope everything's going just swimmingly this morning. So far. Good. Here's the question. Most American homes have at least one of these. but more than two-thirds of them no longer work. What are they? Now, you get to answer it in a second, Rachel.

And then if she misses it, she'll go to one of you four. And if you miss it, we'll go to our sudden death. And try to give her a chance to want a $50. Sonic, give card, Sonic. Say it with me. We should just start making up something. Let's get them. Sonic. Ooh, that's great.

That's great. Sonic. It tastes good. Sonic. I'm workshopping some stuff here. see how it goes. Okay, Rachel, most American homes have at least one of these, but two-thirds of them

no longer work. What is it? You get to go first. What's your guess at, Rachel? Flashlight. Pretty good, because batteries are off and dead and a flashlight. Yeah, that's real good. Mostly, I can't even find the flashlight, though, I'll be honest. It's always there when it's lit, just fine. Either when it's dark, or

you can never find it. But it is not flashlight that was a good answer. Now, you guys have been thinking about this, right? Oh, yeah, I got it. most American homes have at least one of these, but more than two-thirds of them no longer work. Now, Rachel, I'm going to give you an extra option here to start. You can pick one of the members of the show,

or you can pick that none of them get it. You have that option as well. Lunchbox. Yeah, I got it. Amy, most American homes have at least one of these, but more than two-thirds of them no longer work. What is it? VCR.

Wow. That's really good, Amy. It's like printing press. I like that one, though. A covered wagon. A better guess would have been DVD player. Lunchbox. Yeah, it's easy, guys.

Emergency, you think you got one, but it doesn't work. Fire extinguisher. Boom. Why would it not? Woo! They get old. I don't know what's going on here. I thought, like, everybody would guess this one.

It's a phone line. We all have the existing phone line, but that's not plugged in. It doesn't work. It's not connected. Oh, I get that now. I was thinking that it could work. Morgan? Well, my parents are in the one-third of that,

I'm saying a landline phone. I'm with Eddie. Yeah, that's it, guys. Okay, good one. Okay, Rachel, you've heard them. Amy picked a VCR. Lunchbox, your guy. Picked fire extinguisher. Although, fire extinguish?

That would not even know that mine don't work if I don't use it. Exactly. You don't know it doesn't work. That's exactly right. We're going straight soccer tees now. Does it work if you don't know? Don't hate on my answer. Rachel, I'm going to let you think about lunchboxes and you can switch off of him if you want. Do you like his or do you want to stick with him? Hmm

You can come off Lunchbox if you can like it Hmm I'm gonna go with VCR Okay you're switching Oh wow Yikes So you went even worse

Yeah yeah yeah I don't know That my answer's that great Yeah lunchbox Your answer is wrong Okay Eddie your answer's wrong What? No

Morgan your answer's wrong Yay So what in the world Everybody's been wrong I know But what could it be Are you sure Do you want to take another stab at it?

Yes Now, Rachel, I'm explaining this to you one final time. I'm going to let them take one more guess at this. Now, you can pick that one of them gets it or that none of them get it. Now, you can say, somebody in the group will get it. That's option one. That somebody in the entire group will get it. Or that nobody in the entire group will get it.

And this is your final chance. This is your 50-50. Do you think somebody will get it or nobody will get it? Nobody. Okay, she's going nobody. Read the question one more time. Most American homes have at least one of these. More than two-thirds of them, no longer.

No longer work. Never gonna get it. No longer work. No longer work. What in the world? No longer work. No longer work. Whatever it is. It doesn't work anymore. Yeah, 15 seconds to think about that. What would it work anymore? No longer. No longer. Stop working. All of a sudden. 15 seconds, guys. Oh, I got it. Well, she doesn't want interview to get it. Well, I got it. Bad news. Okay. We're going to go. Time's up. Amy? Alarm. System. That's so good. Like they got it and saw. We've got them, but they don't work. Lunchbox? Cell phone. Eddie? You never get rid of your old cell phone.

It's a blender, dude. Every time you want to make a smoothie, it doesn't work. I'm going with a remote. All right. Rachel. None of them got it right. Oh, my gosh. What in the world is it? It's an air freshener. Oh, what?

All right. A little plug in. So plug it in, plug it in. And it never works. Yeah, it doesn't work. No, it never refills those. They just throw them away. I mean, whoever buys those.

Well, unplug them if they're not, because that could cause fire. We'd have been here all day. You guys would never got it. That's why we call it, never going to get it. That's right. Here's here's our big winner, Rachel, though. Never even thought of it.

That's what we should call the game. Never even thought of it. Never even thought of it. All right, Rachel, stay on the line. We'll get you your prize, okay? Thanks. And don't forget, a sonic gift card, $50. Mm, so-so, taste.

How's that one? It's such a taste. Better. All right, this is a voicemail we played on the show about a week or so ago. Hit it, Ray. Morning, Bobby, morning show. I'm a little bit behind on the podcast. I've been really busy, but I just heard about lunchbox and influencing everybody about their lottery tickets.

So I went and bought mega millions last night, and I won. So since lunchbox helped me win, I won more than I've ever won. I'd like to split it with them half and half. I will show him the ticket. I will give him the money, have him get in contact with me, and I will split it with the 50-50, all right? We tried to call the guy for days. Then we were told he had gone into hiding

because he had some business to take care of. Now, if someone wins a lottery, what do they often do? Go into hiding or disappear and never hear from them again. Well, I don't know that you think disappear and you never hear from them again. They get murdered? They do kind of get off the grid until they get their financial affairs in order. Get attorneys, that type of thing. We couldn't get a hold of this guy forever.

Yeah, I thought he called, and then he realized, oh, my gosh, I'm never going to give lunchbox money, so I'm going to run and hide. And so I gave up on this dude. We finally have tracked him down. We got him? We got him. Let's go! Okay, so we're going to put on Billy in Missouri. Hey, Billy, where do you live in Missouri?

I am in Richmond, Missouri next to Fort Leonardwood. And we've been excited for a week because you came and you dropped the big news on us that you won more money than you've ever won in your entire life. And because of that, you wanted to share it with lunchbox. Did you say share or split? Split. Wow, lunchbox? Like straight down the middle. That's a great question.

Are you asking that? Yeah, like split like 50-50, right? Yes. Oh my goodness. So we couldn't get a hold of you for a week and then we were told that you were kind of in hiding because, and they didn't say. But we thought you were getting your financial affairs in order. Is there any truth to that? Well, I've been debating on moving to Texas and no tax.

I wasn't able to go to work. I wasn't able to go to work. about a week, maybe 10 days or so, but yeah, I couldn't get to my phone. Because of the lottery? Yes, Amy, because of the lottery. What do you think? Why else would he not? Did you guys write down how much you thought he won?

Remember this bit we did? Oh, yeah. Go back to it if you can remember. Okay, got it. How much did he win? Lunchbox gets half. Yeah. This is not binding, by the way, if him saying this.

Yes, it is. Okay. Amy, what do you have? 50 bucks. Oh, you're going low. I mean, I just think he's never won 50 before. he's excited about it. Eddie?

It's the most he's ever won. $50. Oh, wow, most of you guys. We were thinking the same. I mean, that's going to be epic. What would you think if that were the case? If it were something as low as $50? Oh, I'd be very disappointed.

Why? You get $25. But he calls me up like he's going to change my life. Well, he's excited. And so, I mean, I'm expecting a pay day. Hey, Billy, where do you go to get this ticket? And do you often get lottery tickets? I used to go all the time and then just to hear it.

I listen to the show every day. and listen to you guys talking about the lottery. I started going again, and I played the Mega Millions, and just so the lunchbox can get a little excited, I did get the Mega Ball. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, so he's leading us to it now.

That's what I'm talking about. I could all tease. That's what I'm talking about. Okay. So you do have the Mega Ball. And when you won, were you watching, I don't know if you can watch live, or do you just look online?

You can watch it on YouTube. Were you watching live? Did you see it that night, or did you wake up the next day? And how surprised were you? That's a great question. I was very surprised because I don't ever win. The most I win is like two, three bucks.

See? That's what I'm saying. Yeah, okay. We're on the open up. What do you think it is lunchbox? I think he won a million dollars not getting $500,000. I wrote down I got $500,000 coming to me right here. What would be the amount that you're disappointed by?

Anything under $100,000. What? So if he said he won $25,000, you'd be disappointed at $12,000. Yeah. I mean, I'd take it, but I'd be disappointed. Okay. Now, Billy, this has been a big buildup here on the show. do you want to share with us

because we don't know. Oh my God. How much you won in the mega millions. Change my life, Billy. And will you change lunchbox's life, Billy? Bring the heat.

Yes, well, I did not win the jackpot and I did not win the million dollars. And I did play the megapriar, so I got $40 total with the megapriere. Yeah, that's great. I think that's the most he's ever won.

That's more than we've won. but I'd also like to give a third of it to Scuba Steve since he made me play the Mega Plyer so the lunchbox would be in for $13. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, wrong, wrong. You said split, 50, 50, that's $20. You just said you'd be disappointed with me. No, no, stop.

Why are you angry now? Now, because he's going back on his word. He's becoming a liar. No. On national radio, he's becoming a liar because he said he would split it 50-50. So I get 20. If you want to give your percentage out of your percentage of scuba, that's fine.

but my percentage is $20. Now you're holding tight to $20. But I were going to split it with both of you. No, that's not what, no, no, no, no. He just said split it. He didn't say split it with you, I don't think. He said split it 50-50 with me. Are you really going to hold him to this?

Yes. But how are you going to enforce it? I mean, he can just hang up right now. I'm sure Steve's fine. Just take the 20. Billy, that's very kind and generous of you to give away part of your prize winning. So are you going to mail me a check or what? A check.

Venmo. I'll send you a check. Billy, you really? You lifted him up and you smacked him back down. It was awesome. That was funny, Billy. I got to tell you. That was funny. I'm going to send it to him on carrier pigeon. I like that. Straight-up game of throwing style. Now he thinks he's funny. He is funny. He made us wait for a week. Yeah, a whole bit. This is a turn to a whole bit. We didn't even know it was a bit. Billy, great job. I got to say, great job on that. Thank you. And congrats on your win. You should keep all your money.

No, you shouldn't. If you want to be a man of your word, like if you want respect in your community, then you will send me my $20. But if you want to be known as a snake, you know, keep it. All right, hey, Billy, thanks for the bit. Thanks for the segment. We had no idea how much you won. We kind of all figured it around 50 bucks. We figure Billy was funny like we are.

Stay on hold and Abby will get you my information seeing you to them of my money. Billy, have a great rest of the week, man. That's funny. Yeah, you too. All right. See you later. Got them. Hey, got them.

Got them. A voicemail from. Abby in Virginia Beach. I have a morning corny. What is a ghost favorite makeup product? Mascara. Oh, that was pretty good. Mascar.

Mascara. Mascara. I love it. I hear a Cheyenne from Iowa. Bobby, somebody's trying to steal your show. There is a new show on Netflix called The Mole. And it says in this reality competition series, players try to win money by completing challenges,

but somebody in the group is secretly trying to sabotage. the group. Now to me, that sounds a lot like Snake in the Grass. To me, Snake in the Grass sound a lot like the mole from the 90s at times. Oh, yeah. Because Snake in the Grass was kind of based off of an older show called The Mole, a little bit of Survivor, a little bit of jackass. Like, we kind of took all those parts. So the mole's been around for a long, long time. It just wasn't that successful the first time they did it. But the mole is based off of like old, like who done it, murder mysteries. So there's a new mole now? That's what I hear.

because everybody keeps going, get mad, they stole your show and I'm like, actually. What happened was? See, what happened was. Thank you for that, though, Shian. I appreciate that call. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Are you dressing up for Halloween, Bobby?

I don't think so. I don't think I have a reason to because I don't take any kids trick-or-treating because I have no kids. Yeah, you don't. Unless I'm like with Eddie taking his kids and I don't think I'm doing that. I don't know what night it is,

so I'm going to go with no for now. It's on a Monday night. Yeah, I don't think I'll be dressing up. Yeah, okay, well, BuzzFeed put out a list of things people should just keep is off limits when it comes to your Halloween costumes. Blackface. Yes. That's definitely one. Anything outside of your own race.

Yeah. Yeah, just leave it alone. The queen, COVID. Wait, why not the queen? She died. Rest of peace is my tribute to her. We do a lot of dead people. Yeah.

Right. Hey, I didn't put together this list. BuzzFeed. Isn't Halloween about dead people? Well, all hallows Eve. The pagan. If you go deep in there The queen, though, I think is on limits

I think it's probably Yeah, yeah, what else did you say there? COVID and monkeypox, like any kind of disease? Monkeypox? I don't know. No, it's sad. You know, monkeypox is borderline If you do the right monkeypox. But COVID, no. Too many people died from COVID.

Yes. Johnny Depp and Amber Hurd. That'd be a tough one. Don't think you can do that one. You can't. Oh, dang. Putin? Yeah.

I don't know. I guess if you present Putin in a non-positive light, you could. Some people would do like Saddam Hussein or bin Laden, but like with their head cut off or shot up or something. You know, that still, I'm like, that's not for me. But at least you kind of paid tribute to America. And then they say if you're an adult, well, or if you're a kid, like children's costumes that are sexy, like a sexy minion. I have no comment.

If I have a comment, it feels creepy. The answer is no. Speaking of Halloween too, though, did you see some mom said she found some cannabis worms in her kids' Halloween candy? Did you say that excited or did you say that like, watch out? Watch out. Oh, okay. It was a weed worm in there. And so it's like mixed in.

So just be aware of that parent. I bet you that's more prevalent where people have these gummies and whatever they are. And they don't do it on purpose. Okay. Find something. We get the kids are here. I don't know. Give them some of those gummy bears.

Yeah, nobody wants to get rid of that. Honey. Where is my THC? Okay, so a mom in upstate New York is facing charges after letting her 10, year old son get a tattoo. He got his name. Yeah, his name in big block letters across his forearm. It's kind of like your tattoo, Bobby, the letters on your arm. And the tattoo artist could face charges as well, but they can't find him. That's bad news all around. Mom should not have allowed that. Tattoo artist should not have done that. No. I mean, if I'm a 10-year-old, though, I'm probably asking

for it, so I'm not mad at him. But that's crazy that she would let him do that. And some states allow you to get tattoos if you're a minor as long as you have your parents' consent. At 10? But New York doesn't. I don't know about 10, but it says every state has different laws, but New York doesn't even allow it. Like even if you went at 17 and your parents said okay, they wouldn't allow it. Is that like where those states that allow like 13-year-olds to get married still? Like as long as your parent, that's crazy that some state would let a 10-year-old get a tattoo. Oh, well, it's not, I don't know state to state if it's allowed, but it's crazy.

Okay. What else? Dustin Lynch brought a little girl on stage to sing party mode together, and the girl's mom was talking about it and said it was, the best day of her daughter's life. And she said that Dustin is so amazing for giving them this experience. I got to give it to that little girl because she's singing as hard as she can.

Yeah. In an environment she's never been in. That's really cool. I mean, she can't sing, but that's not the point of that. I mean, she's just letting it go. No, that clip makes me smile so big because you know she's never going to forget that

and he just got a fan for life. Yeah, she's just like, party mode, party mode! That is really great. Wow. Okay. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

Come on! It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Eddie Daniels is the mayor of Vienna, Georgia, and Saturday morning, he's driving to work when he sees a lady in an SUV broken down on the railroad tracks. And he looks, and a train's coming. Train!

So she's trying to get the two younger kids out, and he runs over, and there's one other kid, and he's pulling, pulling, rips the kids. kid out of the car as the train. Boom! Hits the SUV. Mayor Daniels suffers a broken ankle and eight stitches to his head because he got hit by flying debris. But the kid would have been a goner if Mayor Daniels wasn't there.

Elected every turn for life. Hey, he does. Hey, guaranteed one vote if he runs again. That lady's going to vote for him. He tells you to find out what he really stands for. They disagree. Politics is brutal. Even someone that saved your life like, I hate him.

That's a great story of him. in his life to save them. Probably wasn't even about the mayor. Somebody was parked beside me in the garage today, but the big mayor tag on the side of their car. Not from even the state, I don't think it was the mayor. I don't know who it was, but it was like mayor somebody is here. Really?

They're like a talk show here, scuba or something? Yeah, they're a guest for one of the talk shows. Because he parked there, it screwed up my parking too. Okay. Because that I didn't screw up mine. Mine's fine. I think it's a woman, by the way. It was a woman.

I thought I said like Clint or something. Everybody had noticed. Matthews was the last name. He was a woman driver. Okay. It doesn't matter. All right. Thank you.

Lunchbox, what are you going to say? You want to hear Mayor Daniels talking about the story? I love to. Oh, here he is. At that time, I seen the train, and the six-year-old, I was pulling her out.

That's when the train hit. They told me I was a hero. I said, I don't feel like a hero. I just feel like I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, what the people elected me to do. Terrible thing, but we was able to save some lives. That's awesome.

You know a real hero, heroes say? I'm not a hero. Right. And if anybody says I am a hero, they're not a real hero. Only heroes say I'm not a real hero. Wow. Yeah. It's tricky. That's deep. All right. Great story. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Air Tasker helps you get your weekends back. I need a screen printer. And someone to wait in line for my everything bagel.
