Starting point is 00:00:13 my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, 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 athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
Starting point is 00:00:28 So let's get to it. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. 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 that we can't. how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Too many of us were never, ever taught. 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 Hope Bryant from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Julian Edelman, host of Games with Names. On our latest episode, we got comedian,
Starting point is 00:01:26 Blake Anderson from workaholics and the hilarious This is Important Podcast. Let's go! We did beat them in improv. You had an improv against the team? Yes, we would pull up their schools would be there with signs for us. It's competition.
Starting point is 00:01:40 What you would win is a bottle of gold slager. James Fester threw it out of a van because he didn't want us drinking it. For more games with names, visit the IHeartRadial app or wherever you get your podcast. Come on, Bobby. Hey, welcome to Tuesday show.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Morning Studio. All right, here we are. Let's get going here. Around the room, let's see what everybody has to say. While in Austin, he got busted for throwing trash on the ground. I don't remember that. And he'll be this season's easy trivia champ if he wins one more round. Come on.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Here he is. Producer Ready. Hey, Bones. I normally don't do this, so if it's okay with you, can I do a shout-out? Okay. Okay, so last week we played at a golf tournament at Jake Owen's house. I mean, isn't it really a golf tournament? What was that, a bucket tournament?
Starting point is 00:02:32 He made a little corset out of his yard. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so his twin brother Jared comes out to me. I hadn't seen him in years. And he's like, dude, what's up? I listen to you guys every single morning. We talked for a little bit.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Then we played the tournament. At the end of the tournament, he ended up being first by like, I don't know, six strokes or something. And so he goes, dude, you do me a favor? Like, I listen every morning. Like I said, can you do a shout out for me on the radio and say, Jared, for beating your twin brother Jake at his own tournament? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:00 So I guess that's the shout out. Jared, shout out, dude. You beat your brother in his own tournament. It's pretty cool. I have nothing to do with this, by the way. That's on you. That's on you guys. It's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Thank you, Eddie. All right, next up, he wants to make money by selling set lists that artists have signed, but that's not a business idea that I want to get behind. Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. So I've tried something new the first two days this week. I have run before I come to work. I get up extra early because I've been having a whole mental and like conundrum when I go home from work.
Starting point is 00:03:32 It's like, do I take a nap or do I go for a run? And so if you pick nap, then you don't have time to run. If you go run, you don't have time to nap. So I've done it two days in a row. And the only problem is I haven't been able to time it out well. So I've gone two days. I go run. And then I don't have time to shower when I get back.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And so I have had to come into the studio stinky. But it's kind of cool. You're going to shower. The shower. That's right. Listen, here's the thing. He takes three hour nap sometimes. So he does have time to do both.
Starting point is 00:04:00 He could do an hour run or whatever. And then an hour and a half to hour. nap. No, I don't want to interrupt my nap. Average nap is... I think it's two hour, maybe an hour and a half. Why'd you back off that? Why do you back off that? What's long? What's long? Long is three hours.
Starting point is 00:04:22 What's short for a full nap for you? Short is 45 minutes. And out of five work days, how many days do you nap? Four. Which day do you not? Friday. It just depends. It varies. you know stuff going on at the house you know kids got this or need to go do this my wife wants
Starting point is 00:04:41 to go to lunch something like that i got to you know i got to sacrifice the nap and do you nap on the weekends yes oh oh wow wow yeah yeah yeah 100 percent how do you nap on the weekend when everybody's like home man because you're just going going going and then you just sit down you like you fall asleep and it's just tiring so out of seven days how many do you nap five so usually 50 percent of the weekends Yeah, 50% on the weekends, I would say. All right, well, good luck on your runs. I think we've all at some point attempted to work out before we came in. Yeah, years ago.
Starting point is 00:05:13 It suffers a quick, violent death. You're just like this stupid, no way. All right, let's go around. She didn't mean to, but she ruined the pay-it-forward chain at Starbucks. But now her latest sign from above is her backyard ducks. Here she is Amy, everybody. My ducks aren't. My ducks haven't come around.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Oh, they're gone? I don't know. They weren't there together. I haven't seen them in a few days. What does that mean? Were they ever really there? Yes, I had video. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So speaking of my yard or my ducks, hopefully we'll come back to visit, everything is dead or 75% of it. A lot of people in town are experiencing this. I guess we had a late freeze. And my bushes, part of it's green, part of it's brown. So I bought this spray. It was an ad on Instagram. And it spray paints your bushes or grass or whatever green. So does it work?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yes. is it going to kill my plants in some way? TPD. Who cares? They're already dead. That's so cool. Because like, it says it's okay that it's not toxic to your plants or whatever. This stuff is so legit. It looks like I just had yard people come and put all new bushes in.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Wow. But what if it rains or dues? TBD. That's the, I have some things that are still. Stop pointing at me when you say TBD. She points at me and goes, TBD. Because I'm like, still some things I'm trying to figure out because it hasn't rained yet. But
Starting point is 00:06:36 I am like this stuff is genius. If not, I'm never replacing anything. I'm just going to keep ordering cans of this stuff and spraying it. Because I had yard people come by and quote what it would cost to remove some of the really dead ones. And I was like, well, that's unbelievable. Well, I'm not paying
Starting point is 00:06:52 that. So for the really dead ones, I just got to order it. They have these more than just spray cans, like a sprayer, like a big bucket and you put the thing on your back. Like your kill a test? Yes. And I'm just going to do the whole tree. The yard's going to be turf and painted green. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Okay. Good for you. Just wait. I like it. Speaking to that, we have to remove like six trees. Don't remove them. Call me.
Starting point is 00:07:13 What? You're going to paint them all green all the way up? I'll come over with my thing. She paints the trees. I already went on Amazon and I looked at the whatever I need to get. Like you said, like the exterminator. That's exactly what it looks like. It's like a backpack.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Good for you. Because for us to pull down six trees and cut the stumps out, it's like $6,000. Oh, my goodness. I'm out. And I just had the dog. I put how much Stanley cost when I'd go to the dog. the vet. All of that is like $4,000. Hey, you don't want to just go to like Home Depot and rent
Starting point is 00:07:38 a chainsaw? We can do it on the weekend. You and me? You want to cut the stumps out of all six of them? Get some beers and just have fun. Call a jump party. I think a lot. No, I don't. I just want it done right. So no. All right. Let's do me. Ray, go ahead. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He sometimes
Starting point is 00:07:55 drinks water from a box and he thinks the whole 30 diet rocks. Bobby Bones. Thank you. I want to say this. I told the story, maybe a year and a half or so ago. My wife and I were at this place having like a breakfast type thing. And this old couple sat down right beside us and we started talking to them. And they were from like the same situation we were.
Starting point is 00:08:14 He was a little older than her. He was from Arkansas. She was from Oklahoma. We had this whole conversation with them for like 20 or 30 minutes. And they were giving us all this advice on being a married couple because they, okay, whatever. So I go to the bathroom. I come back and they're gone.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I told the story on the air. And I'm like, Ken, did you see them leave? She's like, I didn't see them. I'm convinced I was us in the future. Whoa. Do you remember this? story? Mike, do you? I remember that. Okay, sure. Because they were just gone.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And Kael didn't seem leave either. I'm convinced it was us in the future. Did he have glasses on like you? But they weren't as dark ground. They were like bifocal type glasses. So they came from a different dimension? Okay, but we already had this talk. I'm not even talking about that. I have a new story, but you guys don't remember the old story. I don't remember the old one.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I don't know. We tell a lot of stories. I know we do. Hey, maybe the future you didn't want us to remember the old one. No, no. Okay. So look, I'm convinced we sat beside our older selves. and we came back from the future and gave us good advice. That being said, I think I set across from girl version of me at the restaurant the other day. What?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah, we were at dinner, and this girl, my friend was sitting in front of me, Caleb sat on my right, and he got up and got to go to the bathroom, and I looked exactly like me but a girl. And I said, Caitlin, it looks like me as a girl. She was like, oh my God. So I think Bizarro World Girl Me ended up in the same place as me, and all that's supposed to happen. Was she hot? No. No.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I mean, in that, it looked like me. She had darker glasses. No. That's crazy. It just had long hair. It was like you and long hair. So I've now met me from the future and Bizarro World Me. Why do you think all this is happening, though?
Starting point is 00:09:43 Fracture in the timeline. It's Earth about to explode. The upside down or whatever? I'm not supposed to be in the same room with Bizarro Me. And I was. Bizarro female you. I wish I could get one of my friends on who was there or even have Caitlin telling her. She looked just like me.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Did you try to sneak a pick? No, it's too creepy. And I would have known if it's bizarre of me because I would have to know what other bizarre me was up to. Correct. It's like when Spider-Man, there's one Spider-Man who wears the dark Spider-Man costume?
Starting point is 00:10:09 Yeah. What's that about? Venom. Oh, that's what it is? Yeah. Oh. I saw Venom. There is that Spider-Man where they all meet each other.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah, it's all different Spider-Man. Oh, yeah. Spider-Man. Well, so okay, just so you know, so far, I've met me from the future,
Starting point is 00:10:25 us from the future, and me as a girl. What's plural bobbyes? Bobbi's-Bi. Bob-I's, yeah, Bob-I's. So what's next? I don't know, dude. I never knew there was a bizarre of me. Huh?
Starting point is 00:10:34 I know. I wish I could get Caitlin on the phone. She doesn't want to come on the air, but I wish I could get on the phone. She would totally back up this story. 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, whoa, whoa, Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:10:52 I'm doing my best to be healthier, including cleaning up my diet. I only buy healthy food. That's all I have at home. And I'm doing better. But I'm constantly tempted with junk food everywhere I go. My coworkers, my family, my friends are always offering me food that I decided I don't want anymore. It's getting harder. Short of cutting everyone out of my life.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Wow. How do I resist temptation to eat junk food when it's always being offered to me? Signed, recovering food junkie. Here's what I do. Everybody's different. We all are impulsed by different things. We all want different things. Heck, we have different taste buds.
Starting point is 00:11:27 For example, I love sugar. Can't get enough of it. My wife loves bread. I'd eat so much sugar that I popped and she'd do the same thing with bread. Right. So every single person is built every single different way. Don't compare yourself to anybody, period. So I'm going to leave that there.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Secondly, if this is what you want, you've got to set up kind of rules for yourself and also just put yourself in the best situation. We are our environment. What I like to do is if I have a goal, I put it on my lock screen. So I see it all the time. And it just reminds me, whatever it is. Does that be food? Any goal you have. If it's, you know, I'm trying to finish a book a month, not me.
Starting point is 00:12:00 But if I sort of on my lock screen, I'll put finish it. Because the more you see it, the more it comes into your conscious and subconscious, the more time you're going to spend on, well, going, I don't know. And the more time you go, I don't know, the more time you're going to go, yeah, I'm going to do it. Because it's just the more times you question yourself, law of averages, you're going to do a little bit more. It's just you don't think about it for a long time and you won't do it. So that's why people used to put, you know, things on the refrigerator or the magnet. Because you go to the fridge a lot.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Well, now that's the phone screen. So this isn't just a food thing. this is an anything thing. If you want to be better at it, put it where your eyes are a lot, and that's on the front of your phone. So put it on the lock screen, and also know that it's a process. If it were easy, everybody would do it.
Starting point is 00:12:40 It ain't easy. I was listening to Dave Ramsey the other day. This woman called him. She was like, Dave, Dave Ramsey, big money guy. She goes, I'm in debt. You know, it's how a lot of these calls start. Dave's like, oh boy. And he's like, how much?
Starting point is 00:12:55 She goes, $1 million. And he goes, how much is that your mortgage? and she goes, $300,000. And he's like, you have $700,000 not in your mortgage? She's like, yeah, my husband, too, we, you know, we both went to, got advanced degrees, and we both, da, da, da, da. And she just, obviously a very intelligent person, but made some bad decisions. And Dave Ramsey's like, well, this is going to suck.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Your life's going to suck for the next three years because you're about to live 10 times worse than you're living now. And so prepare for your next three years to be terrible. And I was like, I felt that. Like, you have to sometimes make really drastic changes to actually see just a little bit of difference there. But I remember Dave, I was like, man, I put that on my phone screen. Don't spend a dollar if that were me. I'd put that on my lock screen.
Starting point is 00:13:41 He was like, you can't spend any money at all. And that's what I would put on my phone screen. I remember thinking that after that call. But he was like, life is going to suck for you. That's hardcore. That's hardcore. You hear that call? No, but I'm saying, I thought we were listening at the same time.
Starting point is 00:13:54 No, I followed him on Instagram, and I feel like I see a lot of those too. and then after that comes the freedom. Yeah, some of them come in. Yeah, and then they celebrate. They're like, I'm debt-free. Anyway, put it on your phone screen. Set a goal. Know that nobody's perfect.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Nobody gets their goal immediately. If it were easy, everybody would be doing it. But just stay consistent. Say 70%. You say 70%? Eventually you'll knock it out. All right. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Food. Being a better parent. Exercising, reading books, whatever it is. Put on my lock screen. Be a better parent. Hey, might need to. Well, if you put specific things that you can do better. attention to your children.
Starting point is 00:14:27 How about your boss? Be nice to your boss? Yeah. Put that on me. Get your boss and gifts. Okay. Boss's day is always lonely. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Uh, thank you. Close it up. We've got your key. I'm the clothes. Bobby's mail bag. This story is so good about Willie Nelson. So, Corey Kent is on the Bobby cast as of today. Corey just had a number one song with this one called Wild as her.
Starting point is 00:15:01 So his career's crazy. He takes all these turns. But basically Willie Nelson was like, Hey, kid, sitting in the crowd. Come sing on stage with me. It's wild. He found a piece of cardboard at a concert venue. Got a Sharpie for an employee.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Wrote on the sign. It said, it's my dream to play a song with you. I just want to play this story. It's wild. He credits this to really pursuing a career in music. So Corey Kent, who just had a number one song, this is him on the Bobbycast talking about Willie Nelson. When I was 16, I had like this chance encounter with Willie Nelson.
Starting point is 00:15:34 I drove down to, he's playing at the Spirit Bank Event Center, which I don't even think exists anymore. I walked in and I went to the concession stand and asked this sweet old lady that was working there. I was like, can you find me some cardboard and a marker? And we made it happen. I wrote a sign. It said, it's my dream to play a song with you. So I held the sign up and Willie leans over, takes the bandana off his head, throws it at me, like pretty much saying,
Starting point is 00:15:58 hey, I see you, but put the sign down. So I took the bandana and I put it in my pocket and then I held the sign back up. And he comes over there again and throws me another bandana. like for real dude you got to put the sign down thanks for coming and i took the bandana and i can feel the tension behind me at this point so i turn around the guy behind me and i'm like i'm sorry dude i got to do this i hold the sign back up again and then willie finally leans over and he's like all right kid what do you want to sing and i was like because of that moment that i always had in all these shows that i was like tormented by of like that should be me what would i do i was like instantly i was like
Starting point is 00:16:32 milk cow blues and he was like why does this kid know a 1930s dust bowl western swing song and is honestly because i knew nobody at that concert wanted to see corey sing blue eyes crying in the rain they wanted to see willy sing that and that's not a realistic expectation to have so i was like i'm gonna a song that i know that willy knows that i've seen him cover before that he loves that's not his and the band's gonna know because it's a standard and so he goes well get up here and dude the next 10 minutes is a complete blur. I ended up walking past security. The song's already started. I walk up to the mic and he goes, what's your name? I was like, Corey. And he goes, this is Corey, everybody. And crowds like, the first thought crosses my mind is like, nobody is going to believe this. And so I walk up to the mic and Willie
Starting point is 00:17:18 looks over at me and he's like standing really close to the mic. And I walk up and I start singing the first few words. And he's like, I'll never forget this moment, dude. He just gives me the biggest ear to ear grin and backs off the mic and nods and just like just plays just plays and lets me sing the whole song and at one point you know i definitely took out a flip phone and tried to take a picture because i was like nobody's going to believe this i was shaking so bad that the picture you can't even tell who's in the picture and i walked that was in the like solo section instrumental i walked back to the up to the mic finish the finish the song and make my way back to my seat i sit down and the guy behind me taps me on the shoulders and i'm like oh god
Starting point is 00:17:58 this guy's going to lay into me. And he goes, hey, if you don't hold the sign up again, I'll send you the video that I just took. Oh, come on. And I was like, oh my God, no freaking way. And so he's like the only dude in the whole crowd that got footage of this. And it's the only video that exists is on YouTube. And it's super blurry because I think it was like a handheld camera or something, like a cam. It was not an iPhone. That was such a cool, like, full circle moment of, you know, the guy that I totally have been pissing off for the last hour. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Say I home there's something good. The city of Boston is trying something really, really cool at bus stops around the city. So they're doing these free digital libraries. So all it is, it's a QR code. And if you have a phone, you scan it and you're riding the bus. And it's got e-books, audio books. It's got e-magisines, all sorts of stuff that you can do while you're riding the bus. And it's all for free.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Up to August. They're going to try it out. And if it's cool, they'll do it in all the bus stops. Well, it's not just to give people something to do while they ride the bus. It's to give people a shot at some education. Maybe they didn't know. It's to learn. They read books.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I mean, that sounds awesome, but that's not what they're going with. They're just going with track. Of course, that's not what they're going with. What you do is, hey, have fun, everybody. But the real reason is they're hoping that a lot of folks will use this in a positive way as well and not just read Spider-Man on a bus. Although Spider-Man's probably available on e-book. That's pretty awesome, dude.
Starting point is 00:19:22 That is awesome. Yeah. Did you ever collect comic books? No, I did baseball cards and stuff like that. Me? No. I didn't even know a single person who collected Mike, you did, though. I do now.
Starting point is 00:19:33 You didn't as a kid? No. You do now? Yeah. Should we get into this? No, I just wonder because I said Spider-Man. I was like, you know, people always, oh, I collect the comic books as a kid. I actually didn't know a single person that collected comic books. I knew, like people that collected baseball cards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Would you collect anything? No. You had the dolls. Well, I didn't collect them. My grandma kept giving them to me every birthday and Christmas, Madam Alexander. I did accept, um, collect encyclopedias. I'd buy one at a time. I'd save up and buy one at a time from the store.
Starting point is 00:20:01 They had them on the wall at the grocery store. The letters? The letters, yeah. You don't need encyclopedias anymore, but you get A-A-A-A-Thru-L and then A-L through A-L-L-Thru-A-Z. And I'd save up and I'd buy one. And I pretty much read the whole thing. But imagine, that's what's great about these e-books now, which is my point. Education.
Starting point is 00:20:18 You don't even need it inside. It's all right there. Well, see, I saw audiobooks and made me think of you. You had to read your entire book, right, for audiobook? Miserable. Yeah. All three of them, even Stanley of the dog. That's great. How long does that take you, like to read your whole book?
Starting point is 00:20:31 Like 14 hours of audio, of being in there, so like three days. That's not bad. Well, I would do the radio show. And then I would go and just read my book for hours. My voice would be shot. But the Stanley book was hard because I'd be like, I was doing voices too. Great story. City of Boston. Two thumbs up to you.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Anytime you can get books of people's hands. That's great. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Lunchbox asks us a lot. asking me a lot, hey, how can I do more stuff? Like, how do public speaking? I want to do public speaking.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And so we finally had one. And Amy was the first one to tell me about it. He did a career day Zoom and you saw him do this. Yeah, not only did I see him do it, but he roped me into it. I am in the room doing other things and he throws to me. And there's, like a newscaster to Webman? Oh, let's go over to Amy for the skinny. I'm going to toss it on over to Amy because she's got advice for y'all too.
Starting point is 00:21:23 How, okay. Let me, let's rewind. My head's down in my computer. I'm trying to do my thing, and now all of a sudden I'm just whipping out advice for small children. Funny way to talk about it, but lunchbox. So how old are these kids? Senior years in high school? No, they're elementary school.
Starting point is 00:21:38 So K through fifth. Yeah. Career day. That's a big gap K through five. Like, how old were they? Well, I mean, we were talking mainly to the fourth and fifth graders, and then I don't know if they were recording it. And I don't know if they were going to show it to other classes or not. So I believe maybe the whole school saw it.
Starting point is 00:21:55 I don't know, but mainly it was fourth and fifth graders. I don't think the whole soul saw it. There's no way they re-air that. Correction. It wasn't a Zoom. It was a video he recorded and he wrote me into it too. I had to edit it. Wait, it wasn't live?
Starting point is 00:22:09 No, there was a live version and then Lunchfogs, I honestly think he's assuming they want to reuse it. So it was recorded as well. So I don't know how he got it. He had to get Morgan to help him figure out how to do this. He probably recorded on his Zoom to send it back to them. Yes, that's correct. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:25 First of all, how did it go? You're talking to fourth graders. How did you think it went, lunchbox? Well, man, let me tell you, my public speaking circuit kind of got off to a rough start because right away, I started out with, what's up, Desol Elementary? Let's go! Why are you yelling at him? And then I get, well, because I'm trying to get them hyped.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Trying to get them hyped. And then I get a text on my phone says, hey, it's Flugerville Elementary, not Desol. I got the wrong name. You said Dallas to Houston. I was like, my man. All right, what's the clip we have here in lunchbox? It's me messing up the name. What's up, Desaw Elementary?
Starting point is 00:22:58 I am Lunchbox from the Bobby Bone Show. We do this little radio show all across America. So what's crazy is. Here's what's crazy. I live in Nashville, Tennessee. You guys are down there in Flugerville. You're going to elementary school and you're like, how can you be on the radio here?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Here's the truth. I don't know. I don't know how any of this works, but it is the coolest job in the world, guys. Let me tell you. Okay. He's like definitely yelling at them. Two things.
Starting point is 00:23:24 One, you did say the wrong place. And two, I wouldn't start off your speech with what you don't know. Oh. That's good advice. Later on, you can do that. He was telling them, which you might agree with this, because you've actually said this to college kids, but he's like, the best part is, you don't need a college education. I didn't finish college. I have this job.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Probably not the way I would have used that with fourth graders. What do you mean? You got to be honest with him. You can't lie to him. I was kicked out of a university from speaking because I told them they should study other things. Not radio. If they wanted to do radio, they just shouldn't get involved. That's different.
Starting point is 00:24:00 They're telling fourth graders, I didn't even go to college. Look at me. What was your main message? What was their takeaway as fourth graders from watching you speak at Career Day? Man, just set your dreams high and shoot for the stars, man. Okay, then make that a thing. I did. I told them that.
Starting point is 00:24:15 But that's also two cliche sentences that you just threw in there. I was like, you know, you shoot for every star and, you know, maybe, or aim for the moon. Maybe you'll hit a star or, you know, maybe you'll just. No, no, it's aim for the stars that land on a cloud. Yeah. like that or maybe you'll hit rock bottom but that's okay no no no no no it's a different class no no no it's a different we're working here work in progress fair fair fair i think we should have lunchbox to make a speech and have to motivate us one morning oh that'd be cool and do it here for us on stage like he's giving
Starting point is 00:24:42 a public and then if it's good we can send him out to do some talks well the beauty of that is if he's motivating us and it's on air then he's also motivating every listener correct but maybe in a different maybe in a white because they already heard it they already heard it and no one's going to I'm saying. You've got to worry about people hearing your stuff. Put your phones away. We can't record it. Can't have it on the pod. If you listen live, you can hear it. Okay, dude, deal. He'll never hear the podcast anyway. Who cares? GuitarPickreviews.com had the most iconic guitar solos ever. Now, I don't see them. I don't know them. But Ray's going to play it from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Write your answer down. Let's see how many guitar solos we can get. Okay. And you're playing? I'm going to play. Oh, boy. So this is the example we played before the break. Go ahead. That's Freebird. Here's what we're going to do, Amy. because I know you're like, oh, I'm never going to win this. You've been Lunchbox. If either one of you get it,
Starting point is 00:25:40 that's a point. You're playing together. Okay. Lunch, you in? Yeah, that's fine. I mean, I was going to win either way. Yeah, I don't know if that's true, but Amy looked defeated from the beginning.
Starting point is 00:25:49 So you two will play as a team. Go team. Let's go, Amy. I need more confidence in you. Believe in yourself. Wait. Well, I didn't get Free Bird when we sampled it. Oh, you didn't know that one?
Starting point is 00:26:01 No. What lunchbox would have got, I got it once you put. played the hook that told me what it was. Yeah. All right, here we go. Five of them. Go ahead. Yeah, it took me a second. Amy, you have that?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Lunchbox, you have that? Yeah, I got that one. Okay. I'm in. All I kept going, Redwood, would you hit that from the beginning again? Then I kept doing it. Yeah, me too. And it had to get there. I was doing it.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Lunchbox, what do you have? I had to go to the, ah, part. Blackbird. Blackbird's pretty slow. Blackbird. Yeah, Amy. Free falling. Nah. Good effort, though, guys.
Starting point is 00:27:01 You have stairway to heaven? Stairway. Yeah, me too. Come on. It's a loser of you to just say stairway, though. What do you mean, dude? It's stairway. By Zeplin.
Starting point is 00:27:09 You should get penalized for being to D.B. With your answer. All right, here we go. Number two. I'm in. Oh, man. I'm going to be a DB with this one. Come on.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Oh, here we go. How are you going to do that? Air guitar. I can't help with my fingers. They got to speak. They got to dance. Amy, lunchbox. Do you guys in?
Starting point is 00:27:43 Oh, yeah. I had to change it. but yeah, I got it. Lunchbox? I got beat it. Amy? Beat it. I got beat.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Okay, cool guy. Yeah, me too. I got it. I got two points. I got both. No, you got one point. If either one of you get it, you get it. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dang it. I mean, it does kind of sound like Billy Jean. You know that's Eddie Van Heelan? Do you think they care? No, no, no. Do you think I ever know. I don't know who Eddie Van Heelan is?
Starting point is 00:28:10 Who? He's a musician. What band do you think Eddie Van Halen is from Lunchbox? Oh my Stop it It's ridiculous He's kidding Arrow Smith

All I had to do was I had to keep going, where do we go now? Yeah. I had to get there in my mind. Good job, Amy. Thank you. All right, we have two more. Go. Lunchbox. Is she better than you? No, I got that. Okay. Lunchbox. Santana. Yeah, it's a good song. That's not it. That's an artist, lunchbox.

Starting point is 00:30:46 You said you're in. You said you're in. No way. Yes. I'm in trouble. And wrote it down. You can't change it. Don't let him change it.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Like talking over that last part. I think you're out of it. Yeah, Amy, we played a lot of it. Okay. You think you're hearing that little slide isn't going to change? I'm such a dude. I just wanted to try to get it. Okay, do you want to guess so?
Starting point is 00:31:04 Do you want to hear more of it again? I'm sorry? I'm sorry. I really, okay. Just the end. What's he's the same? He talks in the song. Who's talking?
Starting point is 00:31:25 Y'all. The guy talks in the song. No, he sings. I give up. Y'all keep talking towards the part I'm going. What do you want? I don't know. Watchbox.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Desert Eagle. Ooh. No, that's the tattoo you want. Yes. Eddie? I put Purple Haze, but that's not it. It's all along the watchtower. Of course.
Starting point is 00:31:42 All along the Watchtower. So dumb. Yeah. You know why that's so dumb for you especially? Why? It's a Dylan song? Bob Dylan's song. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:31:51 I know. I know. I won. Yeah. Well, I mean, we're not surprised. Oh, come on, baby. Okay. So who would you take?
Starting point is 00:32:01 Lunchboxer Amy In a battle of guitar solos We can play With just those two And do a side bet I'll go Amy Okay I'll take Santana
Starting point is 00:32:11 You are such a chump Santana How many points did he get that game? I don't That's a good question I think we quit counting on you guys Mike They got three total
Starting point is 00:32:19 No I got three myself Oh wrong Okay so there I got three you got one Great We were playing for anything then I'm going to play for real.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Guess what? Daddy comes to play. Later on, I'll take Daddy, okay? I'll take Daddy in a little bit. All right, this is Christina from Henderson, Nevada. I'm here with my daughter, Katarina, and she has a morning corny for Amy. What's the difference between a rich cloud and a poor cloud?
Starting point is 00:32:48 A rich cloud can make it rain. Thank you. Bye. Love the show. All right, it's cute. Making it rain. Yeah, I love it. I thought there was something more to it,
Starting point is 00:32:59 I was missing it. I realized there wasn't. Lisa from Marion, Iowa. I have a crazy question for you. I am wondering, every time a caller calls in and says, good morning studio, and then the studio replies, is that you pushing a button or is everybody actually replying?
Starting point is 00:33:15 Because it sounds the same every time. It's a silly question. So thanks. Great question. That's us live, and we don't have a button that does that. If we did, it would not be on time because I would screw it up. or the building would go down like it does sometimes,
Starting point is 00:33:31 like an hour, because we don't have an engineer. This is the whole thing. I mean, it's so, I use this to complain about lack of engineering. It's become like a natural reflex. Sometimes we've even responded to voicemail. No, you have when you're not really paying attention. Yeah, we don't.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yeah, so if somebody calls and it goes, more in the studio, we yell it back. We've been doing it for years. Don't know how it started, but it is always live. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Uber put out a bunch of updates, including that teenagers can now book rides ages 13 to 17 and they can ride alone. What was the rule there?
Starting point is 00:34:05 I'm not sure the exact rule, but some 13-year-olds don't have the app so they can't book the ride. And so now you don't even need the app. You can call 833. Use Uber. Let's call it taxi. Everything's going back to where it was and we're acting like it's new again. People are using earbuds with wires again and they're like, now the new earbuds you won't lose. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:34:27 We had those. No, we had those whenever the iPhone or... Yes. So 13-year-olds, maybe they had to use their parents' account before. Well, and that's another thing, too, is family accounts can now be all linked up together. You can have multiple and parents can book rides for their kids. Like, I don't know. Just as a parent, I would want to really, really monitor really closely if I was putting my 13-year-old in an Uber to get somewhere,
Starting point is 00:34:47 although it would come in handy or it will. Yeah, I would think it's mostly fine. Oh, it says here? As long as you get kind of lucky. It is a kid, right? I don't really worry that. To quote them specifically, Uber says only highly rated and experienced drivers will be able to give rides to teens. No kid crimes.
Starting point is 00:35:05 You can drive kid Uber. You'll also now have the ability to reserve a ride with a car seat. Ooh, that was not existent. I love that. I didn't think about that. You order an Uber. So we wanted to go like say a basketball game downtown. We'd have to take the car seat and then take the car seat with us in the game.
Starting point is 00:35:24 You put in the Uber? Yeah. And you carry it into the game? And we had to take it into the game and check it. Are they like, why are you putting a car seat in my car? No, I mean, that's the rule. That was the rule. Until now.
Starting point is 00:35:34 If I were an Uber driver, I would just think it's weird that somebody's still on a car seat in my car. Dude, I love that those are, that's an option now. That's great. Okay. Be it on me too. Who cares? I don't know. I got it.
Starting point is 00:35:44 A bride is going viral for her cost-efficient decision to serve chilies at her wedding. Typically, the bill for wedding guests to eat is around $75. a guest, which for her wedding would have been $7,500. However, she went with Chili's. She paid under $2,000. She did chicken tenders, sliders, Cajun chicken, chicken pasta, and salad. Well, the question I guess I have about that is,
Starting point is 00:36:10 did she get her baby, baby, baby, baby, back, baby, bag, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, back, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, bab, bab, barbecue, barbecue, which, which, I guess, it's just, this is, I'm glad that it's going viral. Yeah, you did. That was late night. That's true. You did have two meals. I thought about that. And I, you served us well. It's a little different.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Yeah, I did. I forget we had a better, I have no idea how much. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know how much my wedding cost. Okay. I know it's a wedding kind of cost. But I don't know how much the food. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Let me tell you. That food was nice. Nice. So much so that my daughter went up to your house because you got, or yeah. And she got Tupperware from your drawer and she went back and collected steak that people weren't you. I felt that says a lot. If we had it left right after that to go on a honeymoon, we probably would have done the same thing.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to see the bill. If you guys have it, might have cancel anything. Use this viral story as encouragement. If you're planning a wedding, just have what you want. Don't feel like you have to have certain things.
Starting point is 00:37:10 If Chili's is your favorite, go for it. Taco Bo, go for it. Sonic. Your wedding, your day. Do what you want to do. I'm going to let Garth Brooks do the talking on this one because he recently shared on the Kelly Clarkson show that he once showered with Stephen Tyler. I showered with.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Oh, wait, you covered the fever. Did you say I shower? I shower a minute. So we're playing the last play at Shea, Billy Joel. They're getting ready to tear down Shea Stadium, New York. I go out there and I'm late anyway, and they have just the baseball showers. And I'm in their shower and getting ready for the show. And I have soaped my eyes and look around.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And there's Stephen Tyler. He's showering, too. Hey, you do it. And so it's just, it was how many people get to say that? Nothing. Well, who knows? I guess the weirdest part about it to me is that guards. showers before a show.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah, that is weird. Because, unless I got something on me, I ain't show before a show. Okay, because he runs around a lot. Yeah, I mean, after a show, I get. So they're both naked? Probably. That's what you do, a shower. He showered in the swimsuit?
Starting point is 00:38:10 Some people. Shard on, like you swim. Exactly. He peed next to celebrities. Oh, I got a whole list of them here. The first one was Kicks Brooks. Peed right next to him. How is that?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Pretty memorable because it's the first one I ever had. It's my first. You always remember your first. Always. I was like, that's kicks Brooks from Brooks is nine. I was in Austin. I was like, look at this. Then we had a guy that also worked in the building
Starting point is 00:38:29 that used the bathroom completely naked. He'd take all his clothes off. And it's weird. But yeah, that's what's up? And real quick about Garth, he added 18 new dates to his Vegas residency. They're all in 2024, and you can have Garthbrooks.com for details.
Starting point is 00:38:44 That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home, it's not been good. Jemeal was so excited. It was about to be as 12. birthday mom mom I want to have a party she's like all right son what do you want to do and he said
Starting point is 00:39:01 I wanted to be slime themed she goes good she made invitations he handed him out to everyone in the class and said RSVP to this email address ding response oh sorry can't attend ding another response can't attend none of his friends were coming to the birthday party nobody so the mom's like oh no he's going to be there by himself he's so sad and she goes to Facebook and says Hey, my son is having a birthday party tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:39:29 It is a slime-themed obstacle course. Can anyone come? 40 strangers showed up. Weird? They all show up in like overcoat, transcoats. No, I'm sure there were people from the neighborhood and they're all background check. We hope. What I like, though, is that these other kids who couldn't come RSVP'd know, that's actually pretty polite.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Yeah? Instead of just not responding. Yeah, instead of being like, I don't like you. Because I paid for an old gym once, rented it out and had a party. rub their roller skates nobody R-Svp no to me that just didn't come this is a tough one
Starting point is 00:39:59 I don't like that story I had cones we set it up to play volleyball hockey with roller skates in the gym after basketball it's just like me and the youth director from church playing one-on-one sorry man
Starting point is 00:40:11 it's all right I was 31 but yeah yeah yeah no one R-SvP did so good for everybody in the neighborhood we made a joke but good for everybody for showing up for the kid although I don't want to go to a slime party either
Starting point is 00:40:24 from being honest. It's too dirty, too messy. Yeah. I went to a phone party once and I itch for like two weeks. Oh, phone parties are so awesome. No. And Joe's Big Bamboo. They had a phone party and it went all the way up to like, phone was like all the way up to above your nipples and everybody just dancing and I was like, and I was like, this is so much fun. And the next day I was like, oh, I can't stop itching for two weeks. I itched. That's terrible. It was not telling me something good.
Starting point is 00:40:45 College though, that was the thing. Yeah, that's probably when I did it too. Yeah. It was very popular. I never got invited to one. I only went to to ones you had to pay to get in. Oh. Joe's Big Bamboo. Like some frats had them, but I never got to bite into those. All right, that's it. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clivert Taylor the fourth.
