First off, we'll go over to our producer Eddie. He puts his wife in charge of figuring out just how much to tip. And when it comes to making videos for the show, he edits all the clips.

Producer Eddie, yes, sir. Okay, so back in December, we played golf with Darius Rucker. Me and Bobby played with Jake, Darius, and it was part of Jake Owen's foundation. It was the best day of my life. I rode the cart with Darius. And at the end of the round, he says, hey, man, whenever you want to play golf in Nashville, just let me know. and I said, absolutely. He's got a club and everything.

Okay. So my question is, when do I let him know? And how do I let him know? Because I'm ready to play golf. If you rode with them all day, I'm sure. Because what happens is if you have a great time with somebody you didn't know as well, you always trade numbers at the end. So did they trade?

No, there was no trading numbers. It was almost like, hey, dude, it was good hanging out with you. Hey, let me know whenever you want to play golf. I was like, okay. Why would he say that? There's no point in saying that if you don't mean it. Untrue. Why?

Not so much about. golf but if I, let's say you and I we knew each other at work a little bit there was a work event. I was like, hey my wife and your whatever date. Yeah. Like hey we should go to dinner sometime. Yeah, absolutely. But if you don't make a plan to do it, if it's

just like a thrown out there thing, it's just kind of what you say because it's comfortable to say that when you're leaving. You're telling me he didn't really mean let's play golf. I'm telling you that was just his way of saying he had a good time. And if he sees you around, he sees you around. How when am I going to see him around? Well, I have a, you know, how you filter things when someone's saying it.

Did you hear him say, I will play golf with you, or any time you want to play in Nashville, let me know, because he can probably get you in somewhere. That wouldn't happen. That second thing wouldn't happen. Okay, well, it just, it's how it could go either way. Just a wild coincidence. Well, did Darius text you? Well, look who I was, no, this is just this morning.

Third text down. One, two. Oh. Who is it? I was texting with Darius this morning about some stuff. Did he mention the golf? I did not say, you know what, I meant to catch up with Eddie. No.

I'm very sorry. What are you guys talking about? Showbiz, baby. Don't worry about it. Well, Darius is a friend. I'd say Darius is a friend, friend. Well, maybe that's what he meant. Ask Bobby, he has my number.

No, he never said to me, give Eddie my number. I'd tell you what it said, but all I could see was the first few words. You know, on a text, like you can just see the first few words exchange, and it was just love that. Oh, love that. You all sending memes to each other? No. But what I sent a picture of him was of you. Oh, he loves that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's what I'll do. I'll float him a text saying, hey, let's play golf in the next 30 days or so. Eddie and I are ready to go. Oh, I love it. That way it kind of includes you. Yeah, I'd appreciate that. Because I'm ready.

But it's also like if someone says, hey, we should get together sometime. They don't mean it unless they say, we should get together at this time. That's specific time. Yeah, otherwise it's just a comfortable going on. All right, moving on. His only goal as a child was to be on real world and have fun. And when you're looking for someone to give you a bonehead story, he's the one. It's lunchbox.

Oh, Amy goes Amy again. We all know Amy has a tendency to do things and you just go, what is she thinking? Then you go, you know what? That's Amy. So I was talking to Kevin, kick off Kevin the other day. And he goes, did you guys tell Amy it was my birthday? I was like, no. And he goes, look, Amy, he texted him, happy birthday.

Sorry, I missed your birthday. He goes, my birthday is not until the middle of March. Huh. I didn't. That's a funny joke. I have a running joke where I just randomly throughout the year tell Eddie happy birthday publicly so people will fill up his feed. But nothing to Kevin.

Well, so we got a calendar invite and I didn't look at the date. I just looked at the day and it said Wednesday. And I thought the calendar invite was coming because it was Wednesday of that week. Because that would make sense. No, it doesn't. Sometimes they calendar invite. I know. Three weeks out.

I know. But it also would make sense if he was sending things that are happening that week. And then Wednesday came and went and it was Thursday. And I was like, shoot, I forgot Kevin's birthday. And so that's why I texted, sorry I missed your birthday. So it was just a Wednesday that his birthday is. Yeah. And you assumed it was this Wednesday.

Yeah. Well, good for you for thinking about that. Bad for you for not clicking into it. Clicking into the calendar invite? Yeah, just to see what Wednesday it was. Okay, Amy, but I just thought you were just randomly texting him out of nowhere. I was like, is she just looking for an excuse to text him? Like, hey, happy birthday.

No, if I needed an excuse to text him, I could come up with something like. Happy birthday is pretty specific. Here's a funny bit we can do right now. This inspired me. I will swipe my contacts and say stop. And whoever it lands on, I'll send happy birthday text here. Okay, I love it. All right, here we go.

And stop. Okay. Message. Darius? It is not Darius. Happy birthday. Hold on. Who is it?

Happy birthday. It's an executive in our company. Oh, no. You are A plus, and I hope you get many more HBDBB. All right, let's do another one. You can give her a follow on Instagram for skincare hacks or find out how she likes to spend her mornings by the fire and relax. It's Amy. Hey.

Okay, so remember that guy that called in, his name's Mark, and he left a voicemail, and he said, hey, lunchbox, if you had listened to me about this one stock, then you and Bobby and Amy would have more money because I told you about this one a while ago. And lunchbox looked, and sure enough, we do have that stock, and it did go up, but we could have bought it way back and made more or something like that. I remember the guy, yeah. All right. So then I was like, hey, Scoop Steve, do we have that guy's number? Oh my God, it is this person's birthday today. Shut up. No, it is not.

I swear to God. Out of all the days. No. Yes, hold on. I swear. Oh, my gosh. No way. Hey, Mike, D.

Come look at this. I don't believe you. No way. Because that's great. Dude, we got to go to Vegas right now. Just pull the plug on the show. Oh, my gosh. It's their birthday.

Hey, we're going to Vegas. Come on. I'm not making it up. You just randomly scrolled and we said stop on. Yes. Lunchbox. Book some flights. Let's go.

Got it. Because it shows you the person's name and underneath it in like a text like, maybe you should know that's their birthday. But baby, but did you think this is what happens? Oh, it may have popped up. Oh, no, that's not their birthday. It's not. It's not. It's because you said happy birthday.

Oh, no. Now I'm a double idiot. Oh, no. Your phone is saying. Now I was like, it really is your birthday. Yeah, yeah. Your phone changed. Yes.

Let me text Amy, happy birthday. Yeah, it would pop up. Oh, no. Hey, the phone shouldn't do that. Well, it wants to help you remember. No, no, no, no, no, but it's a prank. Like, this was a complete joke. The phone should assume that we're being real.

It does. Yeah. Hey, cancel the tickets, lunchbox. We're not going on movies. I'm such an idiot. Because now it's like seven messages in a row. Yeah. This is the greatest Frank ever. It's on you. Now I have to send a voice memo. Now what if it comes back in it?

It is our birthday, though. No, I doubt it. Because the chances of you're hitting that same day was crazy. Did you finish yours? No. I don't even know where. My brain is turned upside down right now. If you'll start even start over, that'd be awesome.

I was talking about Mark, the guy that called us about stock. Oh, the stocks. Yeah. So stock guy, Mark. And got his number because I wanted to reach out to him to see what else we need to be doing. dock wise because he seemed to have good insight and he hasn't gone back to me you called him with your own personal time like just be like hey what up buddy can i get some stock advice yeah but that's bizarre that's even he's not not as bizarre is what's happened to me but that's bizarre amy just

called a listener up with that him saying hey give me a call yeah but he called us offering advice but to our request line yeah you do that often no okay uh thank you amy from mountain pine Arkansas. He always wishes people happy B-Day. It's always fun to see what he'll say. Bobby Bones. Thanks very much. Okay, so in my home studio, you may see it if I'm doing Bobbycast or he worked from the studio at times. I have this

some kind of acrylic bust of Thomas Jefferson. And it's front of us right now. And it's probably, how many feet tall do you think that is? Two feet tall? Yeah. It's pretty heavy. It's a bust as like a statue of like shoulders to head. And it's Thomas Jefferson and his eyes are kind of blacked out. We're going up my headphones on

on them. It's just funny. Got it. at like a house sale. So I was like, I like how it looks, but I wonder if they make them with people that aren't historical figures or presidents. So I got on, I started searching famous busts. Well, first of all, I don't do that because it shows you a bunch of boobs.

That was my first thing. Morning. Where now I'm like, great, now's my Google searches. Secondly, I did famous marble or I forgot what the word for this is, but I say acrylic busts. And then they started a pop up. up you could buy. And I saw a really

cool Albert Einstein one. That's cool. Yes, same size, basically same texture, same weight. And I ordered, I was very excited for it to come in. I was going to put it on in the studio as well. And then it said, we'll be arriving in July. Oh man, that's a long time. And they're making it? I guess. From hand.

And I already bought it. And there's no refund policy. I want something to look forward to, though. In July. I might be dead in July. Time flies, man. But what I would like to say is if I die before July, I would like to leave my Albert Einstein bust to lunchbox. Ooh. All right.

Thank you. Let's 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. I need your help on how to handle a situation. I have a coworker who likes to touch. That's weird.

Oh, my. Uh-oh. He has to walk by me to get to the bathroom or to the water. jug and every time he walks by he has to like touch me play hit me on the back something like that there are times where he asked me if i want to hug and i say no but he continues to try and hug me if i get up to talk to other guys in our office area and i walk past him he pats me on the shoulders i walk by i said hey man please stop but he keeps on he thinks it's funny so now i come to you asking for help how do i get this to stop thank you which by the way this is a dude oh a dude

Touched you? I was thinking it was a woman. Oh, wow. It's like a buddy, like he's always slapping. Signed, a guy who doesn't want to be touched. We got one of those here, don't we? I mean, we used to have a, Ray used to get back rows from a guy that would just walk through the classroom and give back roads. I would walk him that, though.

I don't care if it's a good backrope. Yeah, it's if you don't want the back rub. So, Amy, what do you suggest he do? H. That's, that's severe. Whoa. Whoa. Okay.

Well, he's already tried to deal with it. And the guy's not, no, he's not doing straight that. He said he's already tried to ask multiple times. Lunchbox? Dude, who cares? It's a bro. Pat you on the back. Like, get over it.

He always wants to hug him too. Do you want to hug and he says no? And he's like, he asks him anyway. He thinks he's being funny. Like, you know, just relax. HR, I'm with Amy. Oh my God.

You already told him like, dude, I don't want to hug. Like, stop, stop touching me. HR's serious. I would give another shot, though. I'd be like, hey, man, I don't want to be touched. Just don't touch me anymore. You're not friends with them. It doesn't matter.

It's business. Be threatened HR? No, not yet. I have a thing about being touched or you don't have to be mean about it Or put a sign and says, yeah, no hugs. I know you, you, hey buddy, what's up?

Whatever, but I have like a weird OCD thing about being touched. So, I think it's cool you like to connect with people, but don't touch me because I start to freak out and then he won't touch you anymore. But what about the,

you want to hug? Yeah, that's weird. He's lonely. Yeah, like, weird, man. I just wouldn't want to fire him though until. Well, I don't know. E.R.'s not going to fire them.

They're going to get to the bottom of it. Are you kidding me, you guys? They're going to get, he's going to get fired if you go to HR. Just woke America. Woke America, fire people immediately. He's not going to get fired. What if you tell HR, don't fire him, but this is got a stop. You don't get to tell HR what to do.

HR, I know it's against your policy, but don't, you know, fire the guy. He just wants a hug. Maybe go back. He just comes up and says, you want a hug? Just say, hey, man, don't touch me anymore, please. Set a boundary. Tell him the boundary. Then if he crosses it completely.

Then you can do HR if you want. Okay. I like it. That's a weird one. But thank you for sending us that email. If you want to send us an email, Morgan, what's the email address they send it to? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. All right, there you go. Close it up.

We got your email and we're ready. Okay, breaking it now. Let's go to Morgan first, who runs all of our digital and social media forever. She has not been able to smell stuff or it's affected her taste. She's had like long coat. I don't even know what you would call the COVID situation. Yeah, I think it's long COVID. Like a version of it?

Yeah, I mean, it has to be. because it's impacted other things. That's just the really potentate one. Potent. Potent. Yes. So the question is, you did this therapy and they, like, do they rub your nose? They did. It was fascia and they did cupping on my face.

So they did both. You started to smell a little. Yeah, it started to help a little bit. Not 100% back, but I started smelling things again. Now, has it continued to get better? I have, like, moments here and there, but no, it's not 100% back. What about how it affects your taste? Has that changed at all?

Yeah, sometimes. Like, sometimes I taste soap. Like in cheese sometimes it'll taste like soap or like a certain chip. It just depends on the flavoring, I guess. But yeah. I wonder what the chemical is that just isn't jiving with whatever your nerves are doing. Yeah, like something in like this nasal system is not working right. So you still can't smell all the way and it's affecting your taste. And how long ago did you have this COVID? 2021, August of 2021. Wow. Bizarre. Wow. Would you go back to this person again and have them rub on your nose? I think I could. I'm just not sure if it's like a long term.

Like it helped open it up. But now I don't know if there's like more to be opened up or if I have to like have a procedure done. You know? It's crazy that that did that to her. And that's just one of a million stories where it's just affected people in odd little different ways. If it, one, if it didn't do anything to some people. It killed some people. And then it just did a little think that's weird to some people.

Okay. There's Morgan's breaking news. do mine. Break a nose! Bring a news! So I got a CPAP machine. I went to a sleep study and they put all the stuff on me. Man, I put this off for a year and a half. Finally went, went to sleep. It was all strapped up and went back to the doctor and they're like, you have sleep apnea. And I'm like, cool, I've heard of it. Don't really know what it is. Apparently like 30 times an hour, my throat would close up and I'd stop breathing, which could affect a lot of things. So I have this machine, I strapped it around my head, put it, goes in my nose and it just blows air nonstop.

the first four or five days I started to have dreams for the first time like multiple dreams I would wake up and go I cannot believe I would still wake up like once in the middle of the night

but I would sleep for the first time and forever I've never done crack that's good good good idea man yeah sleep is like crack to me now I think you're saying

I'm about to say because I just want it all the time you can't get enough of it I just want it all the time you want it right now yeah like having good sleep it again can't compare it to anything so I'm compared to something

that I never had crack have people talk about it. I need crack and I need it now. I, over the past weekend, I think I slept. I did wake up occasionally at night because I take it off my head. After a while, it hurts my nose a little bit. But I think I slept like 16 hours

where my wife thought I was sick because I would go and read and just go to sleep. She's like, are you okay? I'm like, I'm on crack. No, I mean, I'm asleep. So I can't keep it on all night yet. And I do wake up a little bit, but I'm having dreams every day,

every night. I'm not getting eight hours of sleep, but I'm getting five and six, and I'm having pure sleep for the first time ever. I ordered a new mask, though. This one that I have now,

straps around and goes up the nose. I just got online and said, best mask, best mask for CPAP. And so it's a full mask. At first I thought, I don't want a full mask, but I'm going to try it out.

It looks like I'm going into some sort of chemical spill. Yeah. Oh, boy. So, yeah, now that you've gotten a little taste of it. Yeah, I need it all. Now, I need it all.

You're a dealer now. Yeah. Sleep dealer. What's annoying for my wife, though, is when it falls out of my nose at night. Because it doesn't make a lot of noise. The machine doesn't make any noise. A little bit of air comes out of the back of it because it's got to have a bit of leakage because I breathe out of it. It can't just come straight up and only push out because I have to breathe out.

But if it falls out of my nose, that's when it makes noise. And she'll go, you're leaking. But the mask won't do that, right? I don't know. I don't have it yet. It's supposed to come today. But this CPAT machine. has absolutely changed my life,

to where now I will come in some mornings and be like, I'm still sleepy. When I was never sleepy, because I never got to the point of being sleepy. I would just, like, grind out a couple hours. So anyway, crack rocks. Sleep crack. Sleep, crap.

Yeah. So that's my breaking news. I'm still on it. Breaking news, I've changed masks. At least I bought it. It should be here today. Breaking news! So our health, we're all getting there.

Anything you want to, any update? How's your tail? My tailbone Your tail, well it pops out like a tail It is a tail bone Right, but it pops out like a tail That is, some would say a little abnormal Yeah, like a tail

But it's fine You're basically a stegosaurus It's actually been feeling okay There was What you guys knew about a stegosaurus was You thought that was funny That's a one of the tail With the blades on the back

Yeah Okay, yeah It's fine I know you're trying to make fun On my tailbone No I'm not, we all have issues Oh you're not gonna make You're not making fun of my tailors

excited because I can tell because it goes, this is you're not making foot of my tailbone. I don't know. I got a recent adjustment and I don't know. I feel like whenever I get adjusted, it gets it in the right spot. So when I sit, it doesn't hurt. That's unfortunate. That stinks.

I'm sorry. Yeah, long road trips are rough, but. You should get like an underwear with styrofoam in the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for your tail. I have an idea for an invention. Don't know if it's ever even been invented. I never have ideas for inventions. Well, what is it?

I don't care. I'll say it because I'm never going to do it. There's a difference. I'm never going to do it. We might do it. Yeah, and if it's going to make you a billionaire, dude, save it. It could make me a billionaire. Okay, then I need to call an expert in this then.

Give me a couple days. Okay, you got it. But you know, you guys aren't involved. You came up. What do you mean? We just saved you. People. You can brainstorm with us.

This is the boardroom, dude. Yeah. Yeah. You guys have no say over what I just didn't say. We are a, what do they call it? Entity. What do they call? Committee.

Annoy. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Bill Kitfield delivered mail to Hartford Avenue in Connecticut for 38 years. And after this time, he said, you know what? I'm done. I'm retiring. And so he told the neighbors, you know what?

This is my last week. I'm going to retire. And they're like, what? No, we can't just let you go. So what do they do? They threw a huge party for Bill. Thank for the mailman. That's cool.

The whole neighborhood was invited, even the dogs. Why? Because Bill's thing was to always give the dog's treats. He said, that's why he never got bit by a dog in 38 years. Always had treats on them. Always had treats. So they threw a big party and Bill says, you know what? I'm just going to do nothing but bowl, golf and just relax in our retirement.

Bowling, quite the physical activity. Yeah? That's cool that you would do anything for almost 40 years. I went a couple nights ago and spoke at a Chamber of Commerce deal in Arkansas and the guy that was like the head of it and he picked us up at the airport, drove us to and from. He's almost married 50 years. He married like 48 years. That's amazing. I know.

It is. Like anything that long. But he met his wife. He was in ninth grade. She was in eighth grade. They got married like 19 to 20 and have almost been married for 50 years. Wow. I just can't stop thinking.

And I don't think that stuff ever really got to me in like a good, wholesome until I got married. Yeah. And we done like two and a half years. You know, it's awesome and it's hard. And it's like anything else that's worth the show. Awesome, hard. Anything worth something. It takes work to make it good.

and think, man, they've invested that much time. It's worked out that well. You think of the ups and downs they've been through and gotten through it. Really amazing. And I never thought like, you know, anniversaries, you know, these are times to celebrate. It's like it's cool. Like, hey, we made it. We're 10 years, 11 years.

But really, anniversaries are, should be a big celebration because it's a huge milestone. Yeah, it's about, hey, we've gotten this far. If anything, it motivates you to go farther. Yeah. Yeah. Amy. We'll come back to you in a few minutes. What's up, Amy?

Thanks, guys. Yeah, yeah. I know. I was just doing the math in my head of, you know, you and Caitlin could make it to 50 years. You just had to make it to 90. Why you want to do that? Why you want to slam me? I'm not slamming you. That's what you were doing. She needed a shot. We didn't come to you and say, except for Amy. Right. No, I was, I'm deflecting. Yeah, exactly. But we didn't, no need, we weren't coming at you.

Yeah, but this is encouraging. Why did you ever prepared deflection? No, you're an ageist. Okay. Hey, guys. Hey, guys, Bill's retired after 38 years. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.

And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm not proud of myself, man. I made one of my kids cry.

I didn't mean to. One of yours. One of my kids, he cried. Like whooping him? Like, he likes to cry. No, no, no, no. He started crying. I didn't even know.

My wife had to tell me, like, you need to go talk to him. He's crying. What happened? So, Bones has been giving me these, like, cards, a pack of cards that you get. I guess, I don't know. They're known to. I get football cards or baseball cards or basketball cards. It's part of the memorabilia thing that I do.

And when I don't like the cards or I'm like, oh, that's not that bodyball. I give them to Eddie to give out. And it's amazing. So anytime they do something good, like, you know, they make up their bed without being asked to, I give them a pack of cards. And it's awesome. Well, my 10-year-old, he did something. And I'm like, hey, man, that's awesome that you did that. I got a surprise for you.

I give him a pack of cards. He's like, thanks, dad. That's so cool. He opens the pack of cards. And in there is an old Dion Sanders card. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, let me see that. And I looked at it. And it's not new.

It's one of the older ones when he played for the Cowboys. I'm like, I need to hang. on to this one. Well, you took back what you gave him? Well, yeah, yeah, but, but I mean, he kept 10 cards. But do you say I'm going to hold it for you? You still own it? No, no, I just said, let me hang on to that one. Okay. And then I put it in my office and I looked, Googled it. And yeah, it's worth like 20 bucks right now. Okay. $20 right now could be hundreds later. And I should take it back then too. Ah, ah, that was already a gift. It's already a gift. It's already a gift. Exactly. So, well, here's the deal. So I just took it, left it to my office.

And like two hours later, my wife comes to me and says, hey, you need to go talk to your son. He's crying. I said, why is he crying? He comes up to you. He's like, Dad, I just I'm not happy that you took my card away from me. And I'm like, well, I'm not taking it away from you. He's supposed to be a dad. I know, but I was more protecting

the card because I know that he's not going to treat it well. That's what I should do to you. I mean, that I understand. But if he were keeping it saying, hey, this is your card, I'm going to keep it safe. But even then. Well, hey, man, whatever's mind is eventually going to be theirs. You have to die first. You know what I mean? I think if you give him the It's a $20 card too.

It's not like you found a Hunis Wagner. Here's a deal, too. If we ever meet Dion Sanders, I can get that sign. And what if he has it and he loses it at school? It's never going to get signed. I believe you're in the wrong here. You're 100% in the wrong here. You're teaching him a bad lesson too.

Wait, no one's asking lunchbox. I am. Lunchbox. What do you think? Eddie, you're 100% wrong, dude. Like, if you opened a pack of cards as a kid and your dad just took him away from you, what's the point to opening a pack of cards? Every time you open one, you'd be like, well, if I get a good one, Dad's going to take a good one anyway.

Yeah, and this is teaching him to start hiding things from you. Yep. Oh, so I want to take it. And look what I have here that I was going to give Eddie today. I'll take them. A bunch of cards. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There might be some good ones in there.

Hold on. You know what? I'll give him the card back today. I'll give it back to him. I need, we need proof tomorrow. Okay. That you did. So audio from him saying like, thanks, good.

Yeah, but you also have to promise us that you're going to learn from this. And once you give him something, you can't take it back. Cards. Yeah, if he wants to put in his bike spoke, let him put in the bike spoke. If he wants to put in his wrist. But again, that's to you. Okay, fine. You need to be a better dad.

That's Eddie the dad. Yes, sir. We don't only have a jingle for Amy the mom. We need one. I know. What's going on with you over there? Well, I have a Stevenson show and that has a jingle. It does have a jingle.

It has like a Stevenson. Stevenson show. Amy's youngest child, Stevenson. How old is he now? Like 28? He's 13 now. That's the same thing. Which is crazy. It's the same thing.

Okay, and he does a show from your house, a very short show. What's this one about? It's about laughter. Sometimes he sees things, and honestly, I feel like he touched on this last year. I could be wrong, but I don't give him the content. It's sort of when he feels like it, he'll be like, I want to go record a Stevenson show, and this is about laughing and it being good for you. Here you go.

Radio show. Did you know that laughter help you tolerate pain? Yep. Laughter may ease pain by causing the body to produce its own natural pain killer. And life is hard sometimes, so this is such a good reminder to laugh as often as you can. That said, let me encourage you to listen to the Bobby Bone Show. Every day, they are funny, especially my mom's morning corny. Laugh every day, eh?

You got laugh every day. Laugh every day Hey Hey Stevenson Steve Stevenson Radio show I heard it's

nominated for an award next year Of course it is That's awesome Yeah he did a little jingle At the end Which I thought Every day

Yeah He was just Freestyling in his mic Laugh every day Hey Sounds like Amy You're a good mom Eddie not so much

I'll talk to you tomorrow I work on that I did add that last line Mom's yeah You wrote that Oh mom shit got it It's a Bobby Bones Show interview

In case you didn't know Her name is Dr. Lori. She's got a Ph.D. She's an antiques appraiser. She's been on everything from Netflix to Discovery Channel to Today Show. She tours and travels around and does, what do you got? Let's appraise it. She's done so many things for us.

She is A-plus expert. You can follow her at Dr. Lori V on Instagram. And Amy has these Madame Alexander doll. She's asked that she was a kid. And now welcome Dr. Lori. on the Bobby Bones show now Dr. Lori. Dr. Lori is awesome.

She comes on and tells us our stuff isn't worth much. Occasionally we get a good review. But she's very honest with us. At Dr. Lori, you could have seen her on many television shows. You could have seen her on this show. You can follow her at Dr. Lori V.

And we are appraising... Dr. Loy, what are these dolls that we're appraising here for Amy? Those are Madame Alexander dolls. How are you, Bobby? I'm great. Sorry, Amy was walking around. We couldn't get her to sit down

because she's all nervous about these dolls. Well, because I heard we were missing Cleopatra, but I think she's right by you. We're missing Cleopatra. Okay. Dr. Loy, it's so good to see you. It's nice to see you, honey. What's happening? And everything good?

Everything is good. And I know Amy's hoping that she gets some good news here. I don't even know what a Madam Alexander doll is. So can you give me a brief description of what these dolls are and why they exist? I can. They exist because there was a woman in New York in the 1920s who wanted to establish her own business. Her name was Madam Beatrice Alexander. She named the dolls for herself. I always said if I had a kid, I never had a kid. But if I had a kid, I'd name it Lori,

because I was like, why wouldn't you name something after yourself? So she named her business after herself. And the dolls are Madame Alexander dolls. I see that Amy's dolls have their original boxes, which is a good thing. They're old. The boxes are eat up. Does that matter? Yeah, it does matter, but at least they're there. Okay. Yeah, shout out to my mom. She kept them all. So she was an innovator in terms of women in business in the 20s in New York, and she started the dolls. And the dolls have a historical or a literary link. And that was sort of the marketing connection for them. Okay.

And are there certain dolls in this Madam Alexander collection, not the one we have specifically because I don't know what you're going to say about these, but are there certain dolls that are worth a really large amount of money? Um, some of, there are certain dolls related, there are certain dolls that are not Madame Alexander that are worth a lot of money. The Madame Alexander ones are worth significant money too. Okay. Okay. Well, then I don't know, I don't even know where to start. Like if you say the name of a doll, I have a bunch of, uh, open a box. Oh, okay. I'm going to open this one out. Do it that way. This one, it says Anthony on it. Oh, it's like, is this Clay Patcher right here? No, that's not, that's a boy. That's Anthony. Yeah, that's Anthony.

That's Anthony. That's Anthony. He goes with, he goes with Cleopatra. Okay, so it's like Mark Anthony? So would they be worth more as a couple? Because I have both. I need to know. Okay, so this is Anthony. Amy, Bobby, can I ask me some questions?

Please do. Okay, so Amy, how did you acquire them? Were they purchased for you or were they handed down to you? No, they were purchased for me, gifts from my ground. mom like that's what she would get us like every birthday or Christmas she would just add to our Madame Alexander doll collection. Oh, okay. Did you like the collection?

Yeah, I had a shelf in my room that lined and I had all the dolls lined up on my shelf, like the parameter of my room. And you have all the books that go with them to, the little booklets? Yeah, the books are attached to their wrist. Oh, bones. That was his arm. The arm fell off. His arm just fell off.

The arm literally fell off. I didn't even do anything and the arm fell off. You lost a million. Okay. Breaking the dog. is not good, Bobby. I didn't break it. It just fell off.

But the little booklets are attached to their wrists. It was attached. It's addressed. It's like dressed like ancient Egyptian, like a metal. Oh, his head almost fell off, dude. Be careful. No. Okay.

Anthony. Okay. So Anthony and then there's Cleopatra. Historical figures hold more value for Madam Alexander Dolls. Thank you. Yes, somebody help him. Yeah. Be careful, bones.

That's the arm. Oh, yeah. Go easy. Oh, it's not broken. The pen just came out. Right. Usually they're attached with like an elastic band on the inside of the body. It's not hard to replace that, actually to fix that. Got it. So nothing's broken. Okay. So, okay. I don't know where Clay Patra is pretty rare.

So I don't know if you have Cleopatra who goes with Mark Amper. She says Claypatra is very rare. Do we even have Cleopatra? I should have Cleopatra. And now I'm freaking out because that's my mom's handwriting on the box that Alexander was in. But it says can't find Cleopatra. I know. And now I'm worried who she stole it. Because I had her. So you haven't seen Cleopatra yourself? Yes.

No, since we turned him over to Dr. Lurie? No. Okay. But Dr. Lurie, you saw that I had Cleopatra, right? I saw that you had Cleopatra. Okay. Because Josephine kind of looks like her. Well, go look at the other boxes over there.

Cleopatra has the cool eyes, and she's got, like, the big Egyptian outfit. Yeah, and she has like a little gold bracelets and stuff. Okay. If we find Cleopatra, how much is that worth? $150. Okay. And what about Anthony? Anthony is $150, but they're $400 as a pair. That's pretty cool.

We're fine Cleopatra. Oh my gosh. I have her. Hold, please. We're not going to hold. Not literally. Yeah, Morgan's going through the boxes. Okay, so if we find them, that's $400.

You're right. Or the pair. You don't want to break up a set. I don't care what you have with anything. You don't want to break up set. So if you have pairs of things or, you know, couples like That's what you want to... I have all of the little women.

Okay, well, let's get there. I have two people here. This is Napoleon. Whoa, that's cool. Is he little? Hold on. It better be. I don't want to rip off his body like the other one.

That is awesome. Don't decapitate anybody, you know? This is Napoleon. Okay, Napoleon looks good. And then, yeah, and then is this? Josephine? No. No, this has got a little mustache.

That's not Josephine. This looks like it could be the actor. James Dean? No, the comedian. Charlie Chaplin, maybe, but his name's not on there. But is that Charlie Chaplin? Or maybe it's Hitler. No.

No, definitely not that. But we're looking for Josephine. Okay. I have Napoleon. Oh, I have Josephine. Josephine. Josephine. Yes.

Okay. There she is. There's Empress Josephine. Josephine right here. Got it. And she doesn't have arms. No, I have them. God.

What's up with the arms? They're right here with the book. Okay. So we have limbs. Detached. Yeah, let's act like they're not, though. Okay. Let's act like they're not.

Okay. Let's pray something different. Okay. So basically, Napoleon and Josephine are also a match, and original box adds about 10% to the value, right? So they're worth more than Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. Value on those as the pair, about $450. Okay.

So I'm at... Not bad. 8.50. Yeah. Hey, we're going to make some money. We need to put those arms. arms together though. No, I'm more about this Charlie Chaplin that's living in here with Napoleon.

Eddie's right about putting the arms together. You will. Okay. Maybe a trip to the doll hospital might be in order. Do they have those? Okay. Yeah, they do. They have those.

They definitely have those where you are. We have the entire little women set of Maddie Alexander dolls. Here you go. I'll pull them out. With the books. With the books, correct. Okay. One of the most famous for the Madame Alexander was the little little.

women's set by Louisa May Alcott. And the reason why that was so important was because there was another set of dolls that dealt with what were called the Dionne Quintuplets. And those dolls were so desirable. If you have those dolls, they're like $1,200 for those dolls. But these Madame Alexander dolls, the four set are $400. So they're worth a little bit less than the couples, but they're still pretty valuable. So far within the three sets, you get about $12, $1,300. Okay, so here we have... Yeah, you're like at 1250 at this point. This looks like a lepricon or something.

Okay, then you have some that are called the miniature showcase dolls. Do you have those? Or are you looking at like a nursery rhyme, like Little Red Riding Hood? She should be easy to figure out. Some of them are just listed as like missing hand. Missing the hand.

Oh, head. Oh, sorry, it was spelled wrong. Here is the headless horseman. Oh, that's, that's Snow White. It looks like Snow White. Oh, but it's not broke. White's my favorite. But it's not broken.

It's just been in a box so long. I can put it right back on. Like. Okay, good. Fix Snow White because she's the best. Got it. She's the only brunette princess, you know. I did not know that. So value, value on Snow White is $50.

What? She said she was your favorite. She's small. Well, she's my favorite princess. But how can you like someone that's only 50? Hey, what if we strip her for parts and sell her head? Well, I just like, no white. Well, gosh, lunchbox.

I just like Snow White. Okay. And here's, let's do one. more big one here unless we're missing Amy what are you bringing up here these are my favorite okay these are Amy's well those are big here's Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty with all they look exactly

with all their limbs and heads they look good now they look good I would probably say 75 for each one of those that's not bad are you disappointed those look good okay like no can't sell them as a couple hey dude it's no can't tell them as couple different stories

they're very specific about the literature you know okay okay now Now, what's her biggest cash item, do you think? Napoleon and Josephine. Okay. Well, I don't know. Who's selling the Kansas City? I mean, I'm looking at the football helmet.

I got a lot of sign memorabilia. This is a T.J. Watt, Replicas. Oh, wow. Yeah, this is C.D. Lamb, Dallas Cowboy Mini Helmet. This one, I have George Kittle and, uh, see. Oh, you're George Kittle. Wow. Yeah, you know. Is that Patrick on the Kansas City?

It is not. That'd be cool. Who is it? This one is Travis Kelsey? It's Rashid Rice. Yeah, the running back. Oh, Rashid Rice. That's good. Yeah, and I have a...

So how much is that worth? I have a George Pickens back here. I got a... You know, who knows? I got a signed... Well, there's two things happening with his sports memorabilia. First of all, it's Bobby's.

So that increases value. If it were like anybody else's, it's not going to be worth as much. And he can document when they got it signed. So that's going to be important. Of course, the more important the actual individual players are in that particular game, then you're going to see more value too. Authenticity is not difficult to identify, though.

Those are all authentic. I'm not giving any of these up. I'm sleeping in my bed with them. I sleep in the bed with them every night. I did get a signed authentic Denver Broncos. I won it, a John Elway's Super Bowl champion and Peyton Manning's same helmet, Super Bowl champion, MVP's. Wow. Someone saw that I had an offer me like $4,000.

for it immediately. Shut. And you sold it. Yeah, that's too low. I didn't sell it. That's too low. Wait, these are the ones you want on TikTok? That one was one I won, yeah.

Probably for 35 bucks. It doesn't matter how I won it. But that's how much it costs to play. No, I'm asking. I'm going to whistle. Fowl. Actually, back it up. What filter are you taking this through?

Because I'm actually like, wow, you spent 35 and you can make over 4,000. But that's like saying you spent $1 and won the lottery. No, you spent a lot of money. It doesn't matter. It's not about me. Dr. Laurie's on the phone. Yeah, I want the Hitler doll.

Yeah, but, yeah, but, well, there's a couple things happening here. First of all, $4,000 is too low. Most of the time somebody who offers you something like that, that fast, is usually working in the 25% range, like they were offering you about 25% of what it is. I would say, just out of the shoot, forget that it's yours, Bobby, but that does increase value because that relates to provenance or history lineage of who had the piece before you. Wow. That piece is going to start at 15, probably.

and then you've got to add in the provenance for Bobby Bone. 15 what? 15,000. 15,000. Well, provenance. 4,000 is way too low. Way too low. They did offer it super quick.

Dr. Lori, is there provenance that the Madame Alexander dolls belong to me? If I give them to Bobby, for lineage sake, does it go up in value? Give them to like Carrie Underwood for a day. She comes in and we can say Carriondeau.

Yes. Okay, here's her. Yeah. I mean, and then other famous celebrities who have owned them also impact the value. Not yours specifically, but if there are other celebrities who also collected Madame Alexander Dolls, then the value goes up a little bit too. You guys, we love Dr. Lori.

You can follow her at Dr. LoriVee. Visit her website, Dr. LoriVee.com. She's been on, and we've done, from Netflix to she travels around. If our listeners wanted you to appraise something, could they pay you to do that themselves? They can go to my website. They can attend one of my events, too. That's how I got this lovely cold. You know, I was doing, I was on tour.

So you can, you know, they can come to one of my events too, whatever they want to do. But yeah, the website, they can do that. I just want to make sure that you feel like we're contributing to you because all she doesn't contribute to us. She comes on and she gives us all this advice and tells us how much stuff's worth. And I just want to make sure that we can tell all listeners to do something and somehow they can get to you and somehow you can benefit from the time you spent with us. Always good to be a friend of the show.

It's always good to be with you guys. So it's no problem. Thanks very much for the plug. But for the most part, make sure you keep your pieces out of direct sunlight in places. Remember, art and antiques collectibles like to live where you like to live. So we don't want them in basements. We don't want them in attics. We want them in rooms let are heated and cooled like you're heated and cooled.

I have that Peyton Manning, John Elway, homie, am I tanning bed at home? Is that bad? No, that's bad. Okay. I don't have a tanning bed. Dr. Lori, thank you so much. and we will talk to you soon. Thank you.

Thanks for everything. See you guys. Bye. Bye, Dr. Lori. I'll buy the Hitler doll from you just to kill it. If I can stomp it out. Okay. It's not Hitler.

It's definitely not. Is it Charlie Chaplin? Well, someone Google if there's a Charlie Chaplin out of Alexander doll? Because if there is, maybe that... It just has the mustache. The mustache is different, though. He had like a two-part mustache. Charlie Chapin was like one little block.

That's a two-part mustache, I think. Yeah, Charlie Chathlin had a block. No, no. His was like, what is it? Hold them up again. Okay. Well... Guys, I watch black and white movies.

Eddie, you need to shut your mouth. I know Charlie Chapman. I have so many dolls up here. Okay, he's in a... That's not him. Oh, they're in the box together. Yeah. I mean, he looks like him, but...

He also has a hat that he was. It does look like he's listed on eBay as Charlie Chapman. Does he have a little... A hat as well like this? Yeah, it's like a red tie. I don't know if it's the same. What, Mike? Is the Hitler?

Yeah. The Chapman has a black tall hat. Hitler, man. I'm trying to kill it. I want to kill the doll? Or... Okay, so that... Who is that? Oh, that guy looks like the guy that...

Little Bo Peep who lost his sheep. He looks like Juan Valdez. Hold on. Mike's going to do the thing where he takes a picture for Google and it tells him how he's going to die. It's Maddome Alexander, Portrait Children, Rhett 11. Is it anything about anything about that? Rhett? Yeah, you can buy it online for 30 bucks. Oh, like Thomas Rett.

It's Thomas Ress. I don't even know who it is. Okay. Ret. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Is that him? That's, I'm free. No, no, no.

Who's that? Bokart. I thought his name was in the movie. Oh, maybe. Am I wrong? And gone with a win? I'm probably wrong. Amy, with all this,

it looks like you could sell it all and make about a thousand bucks after every, you know. Do you want to sell them? Oh, I have more dolls than this. Yeah, but I think if she were to, she probably saw all of them and thought these were the most worthy.

Can I buy this one from you, the Rett one? How much? You want to buy the Thomas Rett one? I can buy it online for like $15. I thought you just said 30. I'm just trying to work you down now. But I heard.

I can't. I heard you say. hear everything. Amy, you can't break up your set. I don't need any more. I don't need any more crap on my desk. No, the dolls for sale, what you got? I have nothing.

I'm out. No cash? No cash. If you buy it, we can kill it? No cash. It's not Hitler. If it was Hitler, we're going to destroy it immediately. Yeah.

We're going to put it to the home. Thanks to Dr. Lori. Amy, are you going to sell any of this? You're just going to put it up? I mean, potentially. I know when we first brought it up, I had listeners that were very interested. Lineage.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. All right. Thank you to Dr. Lori. Here's a voicemail from Seth and Kansas. Longtime listener, big fan of the show. I was listening to the podcast and heard that you really would like to see lunchbox drive a Lamborghini one day. I actually know of a way that you could do that. It's called Extreme Experience, and it's going to be coming to Nashville,

April 5th through the 7th, and it gives them an opportunity to drive a supercar around Nashville Speedway for three laps. So it's about $600 after insurance. So hopefully we're going to see it and it'll be a good segment if we get him out there on the track. We're not doing to go fund me. We're not going to go fund me. I saw him taking his hands and wiping him together. We're not doing to go fund me.

Why? Is this what you want for your birthday? And we all pitch in for his birthday present? I would sign up for that. Yeah. I feel like this could be. But he never gets anybody, anything to their birthday. If everybody here is splitting and it's lunchbox, it's your birthday present.

So come this summer, you can't be like, where's my gift? Yeah, but you have to get everybody else a gift to the matters. I mean, that's still going to be 50 bucks a pop. Yes. I'll cover a bigger part of it. I'll do 200 of it. Okay. All right.

Happy birthday lunch, Fox. Well, no, there's got to be 600 and it. Let's talk about it. We need to find more information. Yeah, I got it right here. Extreme Experience. Supercars. Let's do it.

Okay, I'll do 100. We'll come back. See? We'll come back. Here's the thing. We rush to do great things for him. This would be really cool for him. I know, but when does he ever go, hey guys, I have a great idea for you.

Never. Or I'd like to do this. But that's not why we give. No, I know, but sometimes you're just like, why do I keep wanting to do things for somebody who doesn't want to do them for others? Wow. But I do want to do it for him. Hope. Look how excited he is.

That would be like a child. Whoa. We'll come back. Let's do number three, Ray. Hey, Bobby Bone. Love your guys' show. My daughter's got a morning corny for you. What's the difference between a teacher and a training?

A teacher says spit out your gum A train says chew, chew, too. Thanks, Bobby Bowens. Love your show. That's a pretty good one. That's a pretty good one. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So is anyone here about the silver coins or the gold bars at Costco? No. Sometimes I see it on TV though at night.

They're like, buy a bar at gold. I have never done that because it feels like a... It's not a scam. It just feels like why would they offer it to me if they didn't want to sell it? You know? Yeah. Well, Costco started selling the 24-carat gold bars and sales, those did so well

that they're like, oh, we're going to add some silver coins. You can buy a 24-carat. Gold bar from Costco. Have you ever seen them? Are they on a big palette like the other stuff? No, no, no, they're in cases. Yeah, it's just like...

I think they're like Scrooge McDuck jumping into a big thing of Costco bars. Can you see them though in there? $2,000 a bar. No way. And could you go to the local one and do that and buy one? I think so.

It might be sold out. It might be sold out. You have to check your local Costco for the gold bars, but they've now added silver coin packs, which... I've never heard of this happening. Oh, my God, you could just go on... Why would they not rob those instead of like banks?

I don't know. This is something... I know the gold bars I heard a lot about that last year. Mike, are there any... At the Costco's here? $2,000 gold bars at Costco. That's what we should have invested in. For me, I get excited about the big tub of mustard.

Okay. I'm sorry I'd interrupt. I'm just, I'm amazed. Well, but the investment here, what I'm thinking, are these silver coins. They're selling them in packs of $25 for $625. And each coin is one Troy ounce. I don't know what a Troy ounce is.

I mean, that's what I had in my little buffalo nickel or whatever that Dr. Lori called in. A Troy ounce is 31.1 grams. Do they, do you guys want to, we should go in? No, I think we missed the boat. No, we didn't. Apparently silver is. Something conservative that's probably going to go up in value, you guys go no. But if we all buy a pallet at the freaking,

warehouse? Yeah, that silver seems a little risky. No. Risky. Oh my gosh. Guys, I was doing some research and silver may perform strongly in years to come. It could even surpass gold. Maybe. Maybe. Let's box is like, I don't think we should invest in Apple.

Let's go Enron. Okay, I get that. That's a joke. Thank you. Remember Enron? Yeah, so he's in. Wow. I need to go to Does me have a Costco membership? Do you have to have one? Do you have to have one? You have to show your picture. Can I go with you?

All right. I'm in. But let's just all be in together. You guys just laughed at me. I did. I thought you were joking. But once you say you're in, I'm in too. I can't believe it. Okay, go ahead.

You need the maple leaf silver. I say we don't let lunchbox in anything else until he finishes his palate. Hold on. Like nothing else is going to be a part of until he finishes what he's already started. The value of silver tends to move inversely to the stock market. So if the stock market is up, silver goes down. So it's probably down a lot now, which is great because the stock market's basically an all-time high. So we should get it now at its lowest point.

But we know nothing about money. I'm telling you, we know nothing. When the stocks go down, silver goes up. Oh, man. Okay, go ahead, Amy. What else? All right. So this is just a little concern I have for us. If you fly in an airplane and you know, you're told brace for impact if something's happening. No, I never told me brace for impact.

I never heard it. I know if something's happening, you know that like you're supposed to, I guess, lean forward and getting a ball or something. But they go over all these safety procedures in the beginning the flight attendants do. But apparently, I saw on TikTok, there's something that flight attendants are doing to keep themselves saved and they don't tell us to do it. What is it? Sit on our hands with our palms facing up. But I mean, I've never been told Brace for Impact, so I wouldn't do that.

It's just any kind of emergency, they said. But if you've ever noticed during takeoff landing or any time that the flight attendant is asked by the pilot to take a seat, they sit down and they put their hands under their legs, palms facing up. And that position is one that will reduce it. Like, you think about it. Your hands can't get hurt. If your palms are up, like, it's better than if your palms are down. I hope I never have to use that position. Well, me neither, but why is that not part of the protocol?

Like if someone's trying to open the door of the plane, you sit on your palms and all of a sudden, it stops. I don't know. And who knows? Why aren't we doing it? I can't believe everything you see on TikTok, but. All right, go ahead. Shania Twain is now a Barbie. She's been named one of Mattel's Barbie role models, and she's wearing a floor-length black leather jacket and a top hat like she wore in her video for a man, I feel like a woman.

And I feel like this is another investment, like a collectible Barbie. Like we get the Shania chain one and keep Twain one and keep her in a box and never open her. Yeah, check this out. And like years from now it should be worth more. What is that? That's a funco. It's me. Yes.

You have your own funco? Yeah. Who made that? Me. I made like 11 of them. So what happens is in the collectible world, artists, athletes, they have funcos made of them and they sign them and they go, it's like a cool thing. Not just have the funco, but assigned one. So now that I'm way into memorabilia, I had them made.

I'm not cool enough to have it made. I'm not like a celebrity like that. But I had it made, and then I'm going to sign them. and any money, any profit, whatever, I'm going to donate. How did you do that? You sent them a picture of you or like, how did they know how to put your face on that? I don't know, man. I sat on my hands all of a sudden.

Brace for impact. But see, I'll sign it. Isn't that pretty cool? Like, Shania was made for her because she's famous. I made my own. You got to sign it, dude? That's pretty cool, huh? That's really cool.

Yeah, thanks. Did Funkos not have mouths? No, they don't have mouths. And Stanley, the dog is the little dog. You can't see it right here, but Stanley's in there. Oh, that's cute. And what do you hold it on? What's in your hand?

Microphone in one hand and headphones on the other. I have red shoes. Obviously the big glasses, the hair. Pretty cool. But I did 11 of them. Why 11? Because I ordered one to see how it would look. And then I went to order 10 after the 1.

Oh, okay. That was like, buy 10, get one free. I wish. But yeah, we can find a way to auction this office. This one of one. Well, there's 11 out there, so it's one of 11. No, not yet. The other 10 haven't come in the mail yet.

Thank you very much. Cool for Schneye. That's pretty cool. Yeah. All right, thank you. I made me. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Jordan is a goldsmith, whichever that means. I don't know. I guess he makes gold. He makes things. And he saw a Taylor Swift video on YouTube challenging people to make cool rings.

And he was like, huh, I'm going to make a cool engagement ring. And he did it. $23,000 engagement ring. And then he's in his shop. And he's like, where'd that ring go? Oh, my good. Where'd that? And he starts looking.

all over town, retracing his steps. It's gone. I would have thought somebody stole it, by the way. Wouldn't you guess that somebody stole it? Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. And so he's like, what am I going to do? I'm going to go desperation mode next door out. You know, like in Craigslist. He said, hey, I lost this ring. If anybody finds it, please let me know.

Well, this dude Ken walking through the town, found a ring. And his sister-in-law happened to see the post on Craigslist, and they reunited the guy with his ring. Wow, lucked out. Yeah, very lucky. And then also. And then, and then, And then?

And then? And then? Jordan's like, I got to give your reward. Let me reward you. And Ken said, nope. Just pay it forward. Didn't take the reward. Okay.

Crazy Ken. Thanks for the update. Here's what I'd like to say. I guess I know what a goldsmith was. I never met a goldsmith. It'd be like a shoe cobbler. It's someone that makes gold jewelry. Yeah, but like a locksmiths, someone who does locks.

Right. Who gets in locks, can build. What other smiths are there? Blacksmiths. They were iron. They would do iron works. Yeah, good point. Aaron Smith.

What? Aaron Smith. Is that like your friend? Yeah, it's a buddy I grew up with. What did he make? Trouble. Yeah. Trouble.

A goldsmith, though. They work with precious metals. That's a good job unless you mess it up. Unless you lose your item. Did you know there's a gunsmith? Yes. What do they make? That's funny.

You find all the smiths? Oh, a hopsmith. Copper Smith? Well, yeah, that one's easy. Blade Smith? Yeah. Lunchbox said hopsmith. That's a good one.

That's a guy that made beer. Is that a real thing? I think. Hop Smith? Wow. I had no idea there was so many. Okay. Well, do you know what Smith means, the suffix of it?

It's a specialized craftsperson. So that's why all of that ends with Smith. Wow. Got it. I wonder if the first Smith in, you know, England, London, eventually America. I wonder if that's why they named themselves that because they were good at stuff. Like, we're the Smiths. Right.

This is copper. This is metal. I guess they had their own. You ever met anyone with the last name like Schumacher? I know, like a race car driver. They were like shoe makers. Shoemocker. Yeah, they just changed to mocker.

Interesting. You ever met anybody with a last name concession stand? No. No, what were they? They made food or pies in concession stands. It's a family we used to live by. There's also word smith and tune smith.

There's another one too, I'm going to say it. All right, listen, thank you all. I'll tell you when we get off the area. Granny Smith. What? Granny Smith? I'll tell you when we get off. Why would I say it now when you challenge me?

That's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
