Joy's calling us from North Carolina. Hey, Joy, welcome to the show. Hey, Joy, now this is Christmas time and you see your name everywhere.

Does it feel great? It really does, you know. People love pointing that out, so I've gotten used to it in the last 28 years being here. Good tidings of comfort and joy. Joy to the world. Joy, yeah. Joy, what would you like to say? I heard Raymundo's draft King's commercial, and he just sounded so good.

I wanted to give him a shout out. Come on, Ray Moon. Oh, yes. It's a compliment Tuesday here. What do you want to say? It probably took me like 10 times to record it, but thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, we played that on the air, too.

I thought it was, you know, Ray, when it comes to doing commercials, he's probably the best as far as just, like, sounding like a great announcer. So I appreciate you calling it saying that. Yeah, he definitely does. Very clear. Very pronunciation is perfect. He's awesome. Ray, you are awesome. And I hope this, you know, start your day in a positive way.

All right. Thank you, Joy. Hey, Joy, good tidings to you. Likewise. Have a good one. I'm just going to say that when I hang up people until Christmas. I like that. Hey, good tidings to you.

All right, let's start the show. Oh, yeah. Eddie, you liked it. You can go first. Here he is. Producer Eddie, everybody. Guys, I have a new favorite word. And I've heard of this word before, but I've never really used it.

And this past weekend, I used it two times. And that word is? Bamboozled. Isn't that a great word? Bamboozled. So, like, I went to an. event and it was like, Black Friday, it was a lot of traffic. And I saw a sign that said parking. I go, oh, well, there's the parking for the event. I pull in there. It was about 10 minutes to wait

for that parking. So I get finally to the parking lot attendant. And she says, that'll be $40. I'm like, what? $40. He's like, well, you don't have to park here. You can go further, but that traffic looks pretty bad. I'm like, oh my gosh, I got bamboozled. And then that parking wasn't even close to the event. And I was like, we really got bamboozled. That's a double bamboozled. Wow. Wow. I love that's a good word. A good word. I like, sometimes I'll toss out the O Bamboozle too. I think I got it from you because I've heard you say it.

I've said a couple times, but you know what? You want to put a flag in it? I love it. You can claim that land. All right. For sure. All right. Up next here is lunchbox, everybody.

USA! USA! USA! Guys, today is the most important day in U.S. men's soccer history. We play at 2 o'clock Eastern, one central, 11 Pacific. We battle Iran. And if we win, we advance.

We need all your support. Those boys over there are playing their hearts out, and they need you cheering. So let me hear you guys say it. USA! USA! USA! Is there any chance we tie? There is a chance. There's always that chance.

It's the worst. The tying has got to stop. Here's the thing. If we tie, we don't advance. So we have to win to move on. I'm sure we'll tie. Well, with that... First of all the time.

And tying's stupid. So dumb. I like in America where you... win or lose. It's so black or white in America, which it shouldn't be. You know, there's be more nuanced. I don't think about it, just in general. But I just pray this not a and how do we, we have to beat Iran, right? What are they going to do? We have to beat Iran. No, no, no. Don't ask that question. Like, it's Iran. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they're the 20th best team in the world. Okay, but we're the number one best country in the world. Okay, well,

USA, I agree. I didn't watch us play England. Oh, it was awesome. It was a tie. It was a tie. It was no goal scored. But was it not, it was intense. It was intense. It was intense, but it was a tie. It's okay. It's okay to be a tie if there's intense. Like, there's a lot of action and drama. So it's okay to tie today? No, no.

No, we cannot tie today. We have to win. Let me hear you guys. I just don't want to watch it for three hours and then be bamboozled when there's no goal. You know what I mean? All right, up next, here she is. Amy, everybody. Say a little something.

So my son and I were the only two people at the house and we wanted to build a fire, but I've never done it by myself before. And at 41 years old, I found myself Googling how to build a fire in my fireplace. And there are tons of YouTube videos. And I love the people, I love a good video where it shows you step by step exactly what to do. So I was watching it. I was like, okay, pause. Turn the little knob thingy.

Pause. Oh, kindling. Put that in. That's the key right there. Oh, light the thing. Ooh, open the flu. The what? The flu?

Oh. That's what you say. Yeah. I don't know. It's an important part. What do you say? I say, hey, bear girls, show me how to make this with a battery and a brillo pad. And then we do.

This is fire inside my fireplace. I did this in 1994. We were running in the Alpine. But you have to remember to close the flu, or you'll wake up and it'll be freezing cold. It's called the flu? The flu. That's the flap that covers them? F-L-U, maybe.

F-L-U-E. It's the, your flu liner is the vertical passageway that transports the waste of gas to the outdoors. Think of the chimney as the exhaust pipe. It transports smoke. Yes. So if you don't open it, smoke will be everywhere. I think what we know, what we learn here is there's a video on YouTube for everything. Everything.

Everything. Yes. And most of them are pretty good. But TikTok's also got some pretty good stuff now, too. All right. Hit me up. From Mount Pine, Arkansas. His dog's nickname is Fatness Everdeen.

And sometimes people on our show Facebook are really mean. Oh, yes. Bobby Bones. Thank you very much. Fatness Everdeen. Fat Benatar. Fat Sprat. Would eat no cat.

Fat Sayjack. Fat Sayjack. Yeah, I thought about that. Yeah, that's my Bulldog Stanley, who's put on a lot of weight. We listened to the book, Sharper Objects. You know that one? No. It was also a series on HBO.

And so Sharper Objects was a book. I'm not a big fiction guy, but my wife was like, hey, let's listen to this book on our road trip. And it was like nine hours long. And so we made a deal. We listened to her book for 30 minutes and we listened to some podcasts. And I had a lot of, I like, you know, learning about the history of the can. opener and stuff like that. And so we'd switch off. But then she knows how OCD I am that I have to finish it on this road trip or I'm probably going to die in a fire. Like I feel that way. Like if we

don't finish this whole thing. So most of it was me going, we have to keep listening because we have to finish this about the time we get home. But it was pretty good. Amy Adams is the girl on HBO and she's the person that it's about it's about a reporter who goes back to her hometown and try to solve a murder of these two young girls. Oh. Yeah. This sounds good. It's got twist and turns. And then it more turns and twists and twist. Okay. Sharper object? Sharp objects.

Oh, sharp. How long is that audiobook? Nine to 12 hours, I think. Perfect. It's long. It's long. She got me, though. Because I would go and we listen to how Mozart died.

I wanted to hear the story about how he died, his career and how he wanted, whatever. She probably hated that. Yeah, it wasn't her favorite. And so, then we'd go back to hers, but then I started doing the math, and I was like, well, if we drive the whole way, I'm not going to be able to finish. So we just had to listen to that most of the whole time. Yeah. Yeah, she's smarter than the average bear. She got me.

But it's good. It's good. It's called Sharp Objects. The book would be good. But the audio book was good, and I'm sure the series on HBO is pretty good, too. But that's what's up. We're starting the show now. It's time for the mailbag.

You send an email, and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend of four years proposed to me on Thanksgiving. I'm so excited. We've been talking about getting married for a while now. I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with him.

There's just. just one issue. I do not love the ring he proposed to me with. It's not the cut or the color that I dreamed of. He told me after the fact that he had gone to my best friend to get info on what I wanted. Even with that information from her, it was not even close. Don't get me wrong. I know it's not about the ring. I'd marry him if he proposed with a 25 cent ring, but it wasn't cheap. He saved and spent a good amount of money on it. And since I'm going to wear it the rest of my life, shouldn't it be something that I would look down on and look down at forever and think about love? Do you think it would break his heart if I asked him if we could exchange it and go pick one out together?

Or should I suck it up and be happy with what I have? Signed, fearful fiancé. Well, he went to your best friend and she led him astray. Yeah, or he didn't listen. That stinks. And that's unfortunate for every single person is a loser in that situation. You are, he is, she is. Everybody lost in that one.

First of all, congratulations, and everything we're going to say after this point is trivial, because what really matters is that he loves you, you love him, that you're getting married, and that you're going to have a wonderful wedding and marriage. Everything passed, beep, is trivial, okay? Okay. It's suck to have a ring that you don't like every single day. Every day. Because everybody wants to look at it and talk about it.

Not just you have a piece of jewelry that maybe you don't love, but it's going to be the center of attention for the next three to six months. Oh, you got engaged? Oh, let me see the ring. Oh, you got to post a picture of it. Oh, you got. And there's no reason that you should be like, oh, I really don't want to. There's no reason that should happen.

Now, that's unfortunate for you. Now, let's talk about if it's going to be unfortunate for him or not. Because he tried as hard as he could. And it does sound like he wanted to do. And I think the fact that he went to your friend allows you to have a little more freedom to go to him and go, hey, I think she was wrong on this. because that's what you have to do. You can't go tell him, I hate it,

or it's not what I dreamed of and you did a bad job. Because he went to your friend, you have the freedom and a little bit of leeway to go, hey, this is awesome. I think she led you a little bit astray with what I really like.

And it's going to be uncomfortable. So know that. But you can put this on her for sure because she's the one that made him and get that one. And I think everybody would be okay with that. I think she would be okay with that. I think it's better for you.

And I think he will, although take a gut punch, it won't be a full gut punch right to the middle of the gut. You know, just like clip them from the side. But I do think you can go and be like, hey, I love the ring. No, don't say that. It's a lie. And lying's okay sometimes. I would say, hey, I love the fact that you really tried to nail this ring because it doesn't mean a lot to me.

But I think she kind of gave you a wrong idea and then go from there. Especially because he spent a lot and she knows it. And if you'd marry him anyway for 25 cents, great. That's why I feel so good about having this conversation. Because if you were like he didn't get it big enough and I wanted it bigger, I'd just crumple it up, throw it away and be like he picked the wrong girl. You're the wrong. But you're not.

You're the right girl. You can have this uncomfortable conversation, but I would approach him with, I'm so happy that we're getting married. I've been waiting for this forever. I think, as lunchbox would say, Sally. Sally, the friend. Maybe a wrong idea about the ring that I wanted. Is there any way we could talk about?

And he'll be hurt for a second, but he'll be very happy long. long term that you did this. That's my advice. Now, if he did it all with his own heart and soul, that's, that's way touchier. That's way touchier. But luckily, Sally exists and you can put it all on her. Sally's fault. But it will be uncomfortable, but it also will be worth it. Do you give Sally a heads up? No, I don't think you have to. Okay. Because if you're going to throw Sally into the bus, just throw under the bus. You never see her again, you know. They call that collateral damage. You lose some people. No, I don't think he'll go to her. I don't think anybody goes to. I'm just I don't think anybody goes to...

I don't think that would be the case. I mean, you can't if you want. If Sally's cool, you could. Otherwise, okay, that's it. Thank you for the email. Congratulations on your engagement. And close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on the air.

Now it's about to close Bobby's mail pack. Yeah. You saw that Jenna Bush said she saw a ghost in the White House? Yeah, she was talking about how, I guess, her sister were there. It's when her dad was president. and they heard like the piano being played. And whoever this ghost was, she said that she's very kind. Her nice.

And I was like, God, immediately I thought a lunchbox. You know, if there was a ghost somewhere, I would think it would be a place like the White House. Yeah. An old. A lot of spirits. It's been there for hundreds of years. It's seen and done.

It made some big decisions. Like, I would get that. But lunchbox you were where? Your friend Timmy's? No. Buddy Mark. The poor houses down. It was built in what?

Like the 80s? Probably the 80s, I would guess. I have no idea. Well, that ghost, young? Yeah. No, it was young. Yeah, whippersnapper ghost, yeah? No, it was a 4-year-old.

You never said this. How does he know the age? Okay, go ahead. So tell our listeners the story. Give him the abbreviated version. So I was getting up in the middle of night to go to the bathroom and the ghost shoved me in the hallway closet. So a 4-year-old can shove you in a closet? Ghosts.

Guys, ghosts are strong. I was only, what, eight, nine years? I mean, I was young. And so he threw me in the closet and closed the door and it got really cold in there and I couldn't open the door. And I had to bang on the door and Mark had to come and let me out. And we used to be there after school and you would see footprints on the steps and it would up, unlock and lock the door. Front door. We'd sit in the couch and it would unlock and no one would be near the door.

When Jenna Bush says she saw a ghost in the White House, I struggle with that. But I go, you know what, if there were a place where a ghost would be, it probably be the White House. I believe her. I'm not a big guy that believes the ghosts are hanging out at playing piano. I think if you can go to another world, I'd probably be hanging out with Lincoln or something. I probably wouldn't be down. But okay, the reason to our new listeners that we don't always agree or even believe Lunchbox is that he has a lot of stories like this.

Let our listeners know about that shark story. Yeah, when I was younger, me and my cousin, we were off the coast of Georgia and we were paddleboating and a shark took a bite of the paddle boat and luckily we survived. What about that time you delivered a baby at the post office? Yes, I was in line at the post office. It was on Palmer Lane, and a lady in front of me went into labor, and I held her hand as she delivered a baby right there on the post office floor. And she squeezed hard.

It's just one after the other, and at one point we lie detectored him, and he failed every question. Really? Yeah, but you know which one, the ghost one? You know what's cool about the lie detector thing? Yeah. You can't, it's not admissible in court. We're not in court. Well, that's what I'm saying.

If it's not good enough for court, It's not really real. And he was nervous. He did say that, but he's on the show every single day. Yeah, but when you have a machine strapped to you, totally different. Which one do you believe most? That a ghost trapped him in the closet, that a shark ate part of his paddle board, paddle boat. Boat, not boat.

Or he helped deliver a baby in a post office. I have to go baby. I have to go baby. I mean, he held the lady's hand. I believe that. He didn't. He didn't even do that. to choose.

I think he got there after it was over and someone told him a story about it or something. But we go on with that one. We have to choose one, that one. Right. There's no. Which one are you most? You forgot to give option D all the above. Which one are you most proud of?

Oh, proud of? Like which one's the story you like to tell the most? The ghost is pretty crazy. Yeah. I mean, and that's a really intense one. The paddle board boat thing is really good. The baby. That happens all the time.

Pattle board or boat? Boat. The paddle boards weren't around back then. He missed that. But Bobby kept saying bored and he messes me up. But sharks don't really attack. You don't know. You weren't there.

In the movies they do. But they don't really attack boats for no reason. Maybe there was some blood on it. I don't know. Well, you chumming the water? Your boat was bleeding? No, maybe my cousin had a cut on his foot. I don't know, but there's no reason.

The shark didn't stick around to say. And how, but how deep were you? Oh, we were about 13, 14 feet. And then how big was a shark? Ah, it was about six feet Let's just say Six, seven feet It was a big sucker

How far off the coast of Georgia We were right there on the beach, guys I mean, I don't know We didn't go like deep sea How much did it cost to rent the boat? Good question That would have to ask my mom or my aunt I have no idea

Oh, so we have witnesses Hey, have we ever talked to the cousin? Exactly Historically, Georgia sharks rarely attacked But they are present Swimming in the coastal waters of Georgia's beaches Thank you It says they rarely attack

Rarely, but they do. That's probably every beach. This is what we deal with to our listeners, though. Oh, boy. Just one story. Wait, what's your cousin's name? Kevin. Kevin.

We should talk to Kevin. Can we talk to Kevin? No, he'll call him. Or he'll act like Kevin. Okay. Like he does when he's his agent. And we should talk to Mark. I'm lunchboxer's agent.

Dude, at least change your voice. Sorry. I'm lunchboxer's agent. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home there's something good. Earlier this year, I talked to you guys about Connor Wright. He is a 12-year-old kid from Boston. He wanted to do something good for the kids

that were stuck in the pandemic and COVID. They were like, you know, couldn't get outside. So he made him little kindness kits, stuff like toys, treats, whatever, and he would deliver him to kids' to make him feel better. Well, he's up to his game. He's been doing it for a year now. He said, all right, pandemic's over. He's going to children's hospitals, shelters, and he's delivering more kindness kids to kids out there that need it. He's the one that keeps doing the stuff that he started during the pandemic. He's the one. Anything I started out, I don't even remember. anymore. I'm like, you know what? I'm really going to cycle a lot and I'm going to learn Spanish and haven't looked at a bike or even had a taco since then. It's not you anymore. It's not,

but good for him. That's an awesome story. He's a kid too. When they have 10,000 things happening. Great job. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

Well, he's still going, right? I'm still going. Okay, I got it. Go ahead. I mean, he's got a really unique laugh, but when you laugh, you smile, so give me Darius Rucker. Darius Rucker! Amy, if you get the number 10 answer,

you automatically win. I know. All points are tripled. You have four answers left on the board. It's not good. Well, I feel like since Tim McGrawls on there, people might be like, oh, yeah. Faith Hill. She has a beautiful smile.

Faith Hill. What did you have? Shania Twain. All right. That's incorrect. Eddie, you are the winner. All right. Hey, we'll take you.

We'll take it. And we get to meet our boy. Yes. Matt, you are the winner. We're going to send you a package of crept from the back. And then Eddie and I'll meet you on Sunday. That is awesome. Thank you guys.

You're welcome. Stay on the line. We'll get your information. And then I'll have Morgan number one reach out and set up that meet and greet, okay? Perfect. Appreciate it. All right, buddy, there he is.

Okay, here we go. The number six answer was Sam Hunt. Oh. The number seven answer was Kane Brown. The number eight answer was Jake Owen. And the number 10 answer was Carly Pierce. Not a lot of women on there. I was in trouble.

But Eddie is our big winner. All right. All right. Nice job. Thank you, thank you. All right, going into 2023, they talk to women between the ages of 21 and 51. And what's the number one thing that women are attracted to? Now, this is not 1950.

This is not 1989. This is today. Okay. This is the most accurate representation they say of what women are looking for in a man. Amy, you're first. Okay. Are we talking physical? I'm just saying what are they attracted to?

It could be anything. Anything. Okay. They just ask, they talk to them and they say this is it. Personality. Okay. Pretty vague, but personality. Okay, Eddie?

Sense of humor. Okay. They love to laugh. Part of a personality, but somebody who's funny. Oh, yeah, they love funny people, funny guys. Lunch bikes? Size of their bank account. Oh, my God, that was scared.

Yeah, you let us. Okay. Wow. So, they're... Money. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. What can you provide for me?

Can you send me on that trip? Can you buy me that watch? Can you buy me that purse? Can you buy... That's what they want to know. So what did your wife see in you? Fame. Okay.

But does fame have a direct correlation to money with you? Yeah. Really? It does? Yeah. But what she didn't know is that we were going to do separate bank accounts. Oh. Got her.

Got her. Got her. Are you rich? Um, not rich. I need to get there. I'm still working on that. I mean. But what do you?

What do you say? Yeah. You get fame and money. Yeah. Well, I mean, I have more money than I did. when I was 20. That's good. Good, man.

But I'm still not there yet. You're like to double that age. I still can't retire. A recent survey found that women in a survey that said, hey, what's the number one thing you're attracted to? Women are most attracted to financial resources, revenue streams, and power.

Boom! What? What? What? I told you. Not, I mean, not us women. Then it's followed by a kind heart. And finally, intelligence rounds out the top things that women are attracted to.

They put those first as number one, financial resource revenue streams power. Number two, a kind heart. And number three was intelligence. Where's that sense of humor? Is that on there? No. They find you funny when you have money. Revenue streams?

Who answers that? You are a lot funnier with money. Exactly. Who gets to ask that question and that's what comes out of their mouth? Oh, you know, I really find revenue streams attractive. I think there's probably a lot of options there. Okay. Researchers asked over 10,000 women in America.

21 to 51, and they asked them specifically about their ideal man. They got even more specific. They said their ideal man was six foot tall and earned more than $270,000 a year. Oh, wow. That's crazy. Ladies, settle down. I mean, they want it. I mean, it's true.

It's just part of life. That's not love, though. But again, you wouldn't have married your wife had you not been physically attracted to her at first. Correct. But you could say, well, that's not a love if you just think she's hot. No, no, she didn't have any money, though. Man. We're broke as a joke.

But it's different. I'm saying we're attracted to how things look. Yeah. And women like how it sounds. You're the CEO? Let's go. Okay. That's what they say.

Women aren't as visual as men are. It could be a litany of different things. And it could be, as this says, it could be a guy, someone that can provide. Maybe that goes back to cave mandates. I don't know. That's not provide. That's more than. That's provide.

Lifestyle. But it's providing its security. Are not making that. So where are these men? But you don't pick what you're most attracted to isn't what the average is. You don't go, I'm most attracted to something average. You go on most attracted to something dynamic. Okay, or attainable.

But you're not most attracted to something that's attainable. Oh. I don't like that survey, man. Me either. It's not cool. Yeah. Makes you feel bad, doesn't it? It really does.

There's a woman in Florida who's suing Kraft Hein's Food Company because she says that it takes longer to cook it than it says on the box. In a class action suit, she says, you know what? I would have never purchased it had I known it was going to take longer. According to the suit, the front of the box says ready in three and a half minutes. However, the instructions list four steps and just one of them is microwave for three and a half minutes. So I can't possibly be in...

So she's seeking more than $5 million. Wow. If she wins, I'll tell you what. Every box you do. I am going to start suing a lot of people. Minute rice. Minute rice. I mean... They're done. Oh, cookbooks. It says, oh, it takes 15 minutes. Yeah, right. Guess what?

You owe me some money. I got a feeling she ain't going to win. You don't think so? She may get like a month supply of macaroni and cheese, but that's it. Here's a voicemail from Darcy in Oregon. I just wanted to suggest maybe doing sad country songs for blind karaoke. I think it would be hilarious. Let me know what y'all thinks.

That would be a funny one for the next blind karaoke. All sad country songs. Because they have to go slow and so you can't just gloss over the words. So Mike, note that one. That's a good one. The Bible Bowl show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Almost half of men admit that they're totally clueless when it comes to buying gifts for their other half.

And Christmas shopping should be starting right about now. So some tips that are out there are you need to talk to her BFF or maybe her sister or someone in her life that might know her taste. And if you're thinking about getting her jewelry, experts say too, you can kind of dig through her jewelry box. No, don't. Oh, no? Okay. Well, that's what they say. Don't spend that kind of money without really solid help from her.

Okay. You could go, hey, we're going to get something for Christmas. The jewelry is just too much. It's just too awkward whenever she doesn't love it, but you've spent that much. Don't do jewelry. That's exactly what men say here. They have been stung in the past with their choice of jewelry and that they are shocked when she wants to exchange it for something different. Jewelry or things that are alive.

Don't do that for Christmas. Oh. No, no, no, don't do it. Go with her. Don't buy it for her because you always. We'll never know if she really wants to exchange it. And then if she does really want to exchange it, either of them, the alive things or the jewelry, your feelings are going to be hurt. Go with her.

Okay, that's that on that. All right, what else? Okay, so have you heard about how Colin Farrell was arrested for attempted murder? Which one's he? Colin Farrell? So he's not Colin Firth and he's not Colin... He's got the dark there. He's like...

Oh, is he like the guy that's kind of grooty? Like he's kind of grody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's kind of hot. Yeah, got it. That's him. Got it. Yeah, so he was actually in Australia when officers came up to him with a pencil sketch of someone

that had attempted to kill a guy, and it looked just like him. And I think the officers even said to him like, hey, what do you think about this? He goes, well, I think I'm in trouble if that's what you think the guy looks like. So they took him in and he was part of the lineup and all the things. And sure enough, when they did arrest the real guy, they looked so much alike. but he could have been put away for a murder that he didn't commit. There's a viral clip, and it's probably 10 years old now, where the newscaster's like, hey, have you seen this guy?

And there's a sketchup, and it looks just like the newscaster. Oh, gosh. They're like, he's accused of touching. And it looks just like him. That's funny. Yeah, like somebody said, buddy, we don't want to, you shouldn't do this one. Let her do that one. And then I have a friend who lives in New York,

and my friend's a comedian, and him and his buddy traveled to Los Angeles, and they were there, and they were investigating him. thought he was a murderer. His name's Cosmo Kramer. And he was over. All right. What happened? Kramer. Got it. Got it. Yeah. One of your buddies. Your friend. That's not my friend. Okay. What else? Keith Urban was talking about how he feels that the country community is being ripped apart. He feels as though we're a tribe and he's concerned that there's just a lot happening right now. We're not coming together like a family should. And we all need each other. So he's hopeful that, you know, everybody can come together.

Let me tell you about the country community. The reason they say that is because we all live so close. People have always not got along. They just faked it really well. We all know that. We live here. They're artists that you think our best friends absolutely hate each other.

They just fake it really well. Who's that? I'm not going to say that right here. And it changes about every three months. And good for Keith for saying that. What he's saying is, hey, we need to fake it better. Because, you know, there are some beefs out there, but it's not new.

I think the political divide has created a place where people feel like they have to speak up about who they hate. And so, meaning which political candidates they don't like. And so that creates that. But there have always been big beeps here. Everybody just lives close. And that's why you have to act like your best friends. That's all. It's all fake anyway.

All right. I'm maybe that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home it's something good. A few years ago, Jason Hansen, who's a mechanic, was in a motorcycle accident, got hurt, couldn't walk, and the community rallied around him and helped him get back on his feet. He's like, man, I need to pay it forward.

So his neighbor was having a hard time, and he found an old van, fixed it up, gave it to his neighbor. Started doing that every year. Finding someone in the community that needed a car, he'd fix it up on his own dime and give it to him. Well, this year, the community pitched in, got a new car, fixed it up, boom, gave it to someone. Toys and Santa Claus all help you. deliver it to the family. Wow. Dang,

Santa Claus came in for that. He blew in a little early. That's how you know something's real special if Santa come and does a remote. Mm-hmm. Like an early remote visit. Like even a satellite visit, you know? It's pretty cool, man. That is pretty cool.

That's how you know it's an amazing story. That. Because you know what Santa Claus's fee is? What? Oh, his talent fee is expensive. It's very expensive unless he's coming in for something from the heart. Okay. Like if you just want him to come in to, like, open up a new Chili's in town, pretty

expensive. But he comes in for, free for stuff like that. Wow. So big shout out to the SC, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, man. That and also him. What's the name? Jason Hanson. Jason Hansen. He's the real star of the story here. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right, if you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company, you know the drill.
