Yeah. Yeah, like that. They're going to come in. to perform later this morning. Cool. I'm excited and nervous. Positively, I just don't know what's going to happen. But I can't wait.

That's going to happen later on. But first, let's get the show going here. Here he is. A dad of four, which means he got a lot of Christmas presents to buy. Oh, my God. Here he is. Our video producer, Eddie, everybody. So speaking of buying things, here's a PSA for everyone.

Don't do what I did. End of year means expiration dates for credit cards. I didn't even realize that my credit card had expired. We traveled to Dallas. I try to use it. I'm like, whoa, what do you mean? Like, it's not, it's declined. Yeah, I think it's not working.

It was expired. So double check your credit cards if you have credit cards or if you use those things. Yeah. I guess it's month. Aren't they monthly? Every credit card is a different month depends on when you got it. It's just a good reminder. It's just a good reminder this time of the year.

Okay. And let's just a lot of reminders. Yes. Your air filters. Mammogram. Way to save me on that one, though. Yes. Uh-huh.

For guys, if you're over 45. Check your cuck. Mm-hmm. Oh, what is it? You know. Prostate. Nope. Nope.

Colonics. No, what's the? I just said that. You did? You said colloqu. No, what did you say? No. Cuckoo.

Amy, stop doing that with your finger. Yeah, I don't know what you're doing, but you're having too much fun doing it. This is a reminder to do anything that you haven't been reminded to do. All right. I got you. Oh, yeah. Colonoscopy. Okay.

In the same hoodie, he wears every day, basically. Here he is. Lunchbox. everybody. Yes. Guys, we work at the wrong company. Why? Oh, we do.

Oh, we work at the absolute wrong company. Our Christmas party was at our boss's house. Hey, come on a Sunday at one o'clock in the afternoon and have some cookies and tea. Past tense? Did you go? No, no. I refused to go. Oh, it was this past Sunday.

It was this past Sunday. Oh, we were gone. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I didn't go, but I'd log on the internet and I see this one guy. He took all 10,000 of his workers on a three-day trip, all expenses paid to Walt Disney World. He threw a cold play concert. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You just jumped from you being mad

that it was at our boss's house to some guy. Yeah, yeah. Because I log on the internet after seeing our little... You log on the internet? Doong, dong, dong, dong, dang. Yes, our company has a Christmas party at a boss's house, cookies at 1 o'clock on Sunday. To be fair, that was the local station's parties? Compared to this company where the guy took all 10,000 of his workers,

he paid for them to go to Disney. But our local The local boss is a, I think he paid for it himself, which he didn't have to. And he runs our radio station. What did he pay for? He paid for his house? He let his house be open and food and drink and bite of people over. He didn't have to do that. Well, don't worry.

He doesn't own the company. This guy sounds like he owns the company. Yeah. He threw him a cold, he had cold play performed. We've heard. Carly Ray Jepson. Okay. I mean, unbelievable.

We are in the wrong place. Go work for that guy then. Yeah, what's he do? What's the company? I don't know. He didn't know. He only knows he had cold play works there. Citadel CEO.

So he doesn't even own. He's just a chief executive officer. Of what? What do they do? They do Citadel. What is Citadel view? That's cool. A hedge fund billionaire.

Okay. Well. What do you want? Man, we need to step it up here. Okay. I mean, look, I play a Coldplay song. Amy, I'm coming over to you. It just saved me here.

Here she is. Amy, everybody. So I got this long email from a neighbor about a Christmas party they were having. And like the first paragraph of it seemed like it was an invite. So I text another. neighbor and I'm like, hey, are you going to go? Like, this seems like it could be fun. And she replied back, did you read the whole thing?

They were just letting us know that there might be parking situations to be on the lookout. What if you just showed up? That had been awesome. Oh, had I not texted the other neighbor? I would have because my kids hang out with their kids. I thought it would be like a fun thing to do. It's a party where you don't even have to go far. I could just walk.

So luckily that other neighbor said it's about parking, not about you. And it's just a reminder to read the whole email. Whatever. Another reminder. We're aligned and instantly. Yes. Yes.

Okay. Ray, set me up. From Mount Pine, Arkansas. He recently rode in a helicopter, and he's also a doctor. Bobby Bones. Thank you very much. That's an M&M stretch.

That's an M&M stretch, Ryan, right there. We started a new show. It's my wife, a nice thing. We always try to find a show. And it's called the Old Man. Have you guys seen it? No. It is on, hmm, what do we go to watch that on?

It wasn't on Hulu. Maybe Amazon. Look that at it. I forget. And it's Jeff Bridges. It's on Hulu? Okay. It's Jeff Bridges.

Everybody know who he is? Yes, the dude. From the dude. From, was he dumb and dumber? No, that's Lloyd. No, that's Lloyd Christmas. No. No, it's, uh, dumb.

What's his name? Jeff Daniel. Oh, Jeff Daniels. Anyway, so he's from True Grit, Crazy Heart, the Big Lobowski. But he is an old man, and he's living in the woods, his life's got two dogs. And all of a sudden, you don't. You don't really know why, but the FBI sent somebody to kill him. And you find out he's like an ex-agent or something.

But he's like a BA. Come on. And we just finished the first episode. It was awesome. And so it's 97% a tomato on Rotten Tomatoes. It's got action. It's got old people, everything you want. But right now I'm giving it a one episode review.

view of, oh yeah, we can't wait to watch the next episode. We just started a show called The Old Man. And it is. Oof, it's good, baby. All right. I like the, my wife's picked the last two shows. Because if you pick a show and the other person agrees that, well, you did a great job, you get the next one. It's like a challenge in the NFL.

You don't lose your, you don't lose your challenge. You get another one. And so she picked out peripheral, which I thought was the greatest show. We're done. And then she's like, all right, I'm going to pick the old man. And I was like, and every show I go into like this. Oh, man, I don't want to watch that. And then I watched the first episode.

And I'm like, you name. Neld it again, baby. So that's it. That's what we're watching. Thank you guys. Glad you're here. Let's get started with today's show. It's a voicemail from David in Bakersfield, California. Hey, good morning, Bobby. Good morning, studio. I just wanted to salute you folks for the fine job you're doing for St. Jude. I hope that you all have a blessed holiday season. Keep up to good work. Thank you, sir. I'd like to shout to all of our listeners. It was the biggest radio

thought in the history of St. Jude, not just for this show ever. Two.7 million dollars over two days. You guys did that. Thank you guys so much. That's why we do this show. We do it to have fun and hopefully feel like what your friends in the morning give you something to make your drive or if you're running later in the day or whatever, less miserable. But that's why we do it. So thank you very much, David.

Appreciate that. Now time for something trivial. Let's go to the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. Have a five-year-old daughter, one of her best friends from preschool, comes over for play dates.

but the kid and her mom reek of cigarette smoke. I've never seen the mom smoke, but it's obvious she does, and probably her husband too. I actually feel bad for the little girl because she smells like smoke, and it's not fair for the little girl. We always have playdates after school in my house,

but the mom keeps insisting. We go to her house for a play date. The thing is, I don't want my kid exposed to secondhand smoke or smelly cigarettes. As much as I like the mom, I don't know what to say to her. I figure she just figured out.

I don't want my daughter to lose her little friend, though, who is a sweetheart. but I don't know what to say to the mom. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Signed, not a fan of cigarettes. Amy, I'm going to go to you on this one. What do you think here is the proper way to handle it? Oh, I feel so awkward for her already because I know that this would be hard.

So the options in my mind would be to be very clear, which is the kind thing to do. Clear is kind, unclear as unkind. So if you dance around it forever, you might end up hurting her feelings anyway. So you might as well just say, hey, this is what's on my. my mind and I think she may understand. Like, people know that secondhand smoke is not ideal for any human, especially

little children. So I think you could be clear about it or you could just continue down the path of like, oh, bummer, today doesn't work, but you can come over to our house. That's unkind, you said. That's unclear unclair. I know. But those are the options. I never heard that before, though. Clear as kind. Clear is unkind.

Well, because a lot of times because we don't want to hurt someone's feelings, we end up dancing around it and that is creates like But what if you're a dance champion? Confusion Ooh.

What do you mean? Oh yeah. You're a dance champion so I can dance around. That's the thing. So you may be able to do that. But, you know, she may not be able to keep that up forever. So.

I guess the only concern I would have is her not being able to hang out with a friend anymore if she does offend her. Is that something that you're okay with that chance? Sometimes kid friends are hard to come by and you do not want to lose one. Yeah. I don't have any. So then you may. Good.

Good. Good. You may have to sacrifice your child's lungs. What? Yeah. Okay. Because friends are hard. They are hard.

For kids. Eddie, what do you think? You got four kids? Yeah, I would wait till summertime where they can go play outside and tell my kids like, okay, look, I'm going to let you go over, but don't hang out in the house. If you see them smoking cigarettes, don't hang out in the house. Summer, you're going to have to dance for another six months. Go outside or something because, I mean, really, Amy's right. It's hard to find friends and all that.

And you want to keep them as friends, but I ain't calling the parent to be like, hey, don't smoke. kid comes around. What about this saying? Unclear is unkind, but it's fine if you waste some time until summertime. Wow. I like it. That was good. That proves my, I like that, bones. That's good. All you needs a rhyme and all of a sudden it works. Like the theme. Yeah. Yeah, it's tough. I would just let your kid play. Around the smoke? Yeah. Dang, that's tough, man. I would really limit the times going over there. But yes, it's tough. And I grew up where everybody smoked a mind. house. Arkansas Keith didn't smoke, but everybody smoked in the house and I probably always smelled like cigarette smoke as a kid and didn't know it. And the kid probably doesn't

know it like she said. I mean, we turned out okay. I would spend the summer at my grandma's. We'll see. Amy's like, we, we turned out okay. Right? I would come back from staying with my grandma and open up my luggage at home and my whole bedroom would just smell of it. I think, Eddie, you have a good point on that though, too, where it's like, hey, if they're smoking, try not to be around it. Yeah, you can have that conversation with your kid to be kind of just observant about it. And like if there is cigarette smoke, it suggests, hey, let's go outside. You want to play outside instead? Winter's tough, though. Winter is tough. And that's why I said that. Wait till summer. Yeah, it's probably limit the amount of times that she goes over to that house.

But I think occasionally you have to throw a bone out there. But I think you do it. I don't think you raise a big fuss about it. I think she'll get offended. Mom will get offended. That's a tough one. Thank you for sending that email. If you guys have a reply to that, you can go to our Facebook page, Bobby Bone's show. Good luck with that. Thank you for that email. You could have your kid say something. Or have your kids start smoking, so it's one's in. No. All right, 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. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. I mean, one of the guys that I can just call and be like, dude, come on the show. We've got to talk about something. What we're going to talk about his song that's about to go number one called Down Home. Here's

a clip of Down Home. Oh, you know my... His name's Jimmy Allen. He has other number one songs, like Best Shot. Because when you smile, Alice, and make me want to. He's also trying to be a professional bowler. I mean, the guy's all over the place.

Here he is, Jimmy Allen. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Jimmy Allen. Jimmy's there. Hey, Eddie, what'd you want to ask Jimmy? Yeah, Jimmy, hey, what's up? It's Eddie. I saw a TikTok video of you on a red carpet somewhere.

and you're talking to Lionel Richie, and then Smokey Robinson comes up. And you guys, all three, just start hanging out and talking in the red carpet. Yeah, that was the craziest thing ever, bro. We were at the AMAs, and I've done Lionel for a little bit now.

The Smokey walks up and talking to him, and I say, how to Linell out. And Lionel's like, Jimmy, I want you to meet somebody. I went to meet my brother. So he just starts talking, and telling me the whole story by him and Smokkeye. And he's like,

Smoky, yeah, You got to be, you know, my brother Jimmy, you know, we're working on a few things together. And I'm just tripping out standing between Smokey and Lionel Richie, bro. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. The tears of a clown. Oh, damn. When there's no one. Oh, come on.

And the TikTok even said, like, watching three legends talk to each other. So they included Jimmy as a legend. Was it Jimmy's TikTok? That'd be fun. I saw you at the AMAs with Taylor Strait. Swift, do you, because it's always awkward for me if I'm with somebody who has some sort of stature and I want to get a picture. Do you go, hey, do you mind if we get a picture?

Or what I'll do is I'll tell someone, hey, be like, hey, we need to get a picture of you guys. And then I'm like, okay, sure. But I set that up. Like, how do you get the picture of you and Taylor? Dude, actually, when me and Taylor was just sitting there talking and then the Getty images, people say, hey, guys, picture over this way. So that's why we looked that way and looked at the other place. They actually asked us.

We were still, I wasn't going to ask for one. He was with Taylor, and she was like, have you my friend Smokey Robinson? And then Smokey walked up. I got to meet Stevie Wonder. That was cool. Yeah, man. Because you're mentioning all these people that are like so iconic, they don't even seem like real-life human beings. Yeah.

Do you still get Starstruck? Because it seems constant with you that you're meeting these kind of folks. Man, I got Starstruck. Never really Starstruck with Stevie. it was more just like meeting a legend. But you know who I did get Starstruck over a week ago when I met, I could barely talk. I was shaking.

Andy Reed. Oh, yeah, the coach of the Chiefs. The Coach of the Chiefs, because I'm a diehard Eagles fan. He was an Eagles coach for like years. So, like, me and Andy Reed to me was like, you know, just meeting God. But the only person I was Starstruck that first time I met other than that was first time

I know what Will Smith and first time I met Rob Thomas Other than that I'm good Yeah, Will Smith would have been cool Rob Thomas Yeah Rob Thomas I'm like huh interesting

Yeah well I love Matchbox 20 Yeah me too But I didn't know Jimmy Do you know him Are you guys now? Oh yeah It's my guy man We talk a lot

And then yeah When I met Darry's record For the first time I lost my mind too So Well First I met Darrys Actually snuck backstage

And not through this tour bus At a This was like Before I got a record there And everything But how do you sneak backstage because I never I don't sneak anywhere well because I look suspicious how do you sneak somewhere well here's the thing you know the trick is always look like you know where you're

going so I took advantage being a black guy in Nashville wearing cowboy boots a leather jacket not a lot of people wearing that thing so wherever I went I would act like I'm on my phone act like I'm hoping the conversation like look at the security guy like hey what's up man and just keep walking think about it you're not going to stop a little bit you're not going to stop a black guy at a country concert with cowboy boots on a leather jacket and black jeans and a chain he looks like especially if deris's there because he was suam on with darius so it worked out you know and by the way jimmy's on because his new song down home going for number one this week we're rooting for we're going to play it it'd be a big deal for jimmy to have yet another number one

you know jimmy wears sometimes his his clothes i mean he just it's style it's loud it's like you got to have guts, but you have to have a certain kind of style to pull it off, right? And I always wonder, what if I wore some of the stuff that Jimmy has worn before? Do you have any of your, like, super cool, spiky leather outfits still at the house? Because if so, one day I want you to bring one up, and I want to, you have a picture of you in it, and then I want to put it on and take a picture in it and see what they look like beside each other. Who wore it better? Yeah. Oh, dude, you would look a lot better than me. Look, here's the thing. Money always looks good inside of money. Okay. I'm sure you got more money to me. So you're going to look better than I was.

Yeah, but you've seen me with your eyes, right? Like as a person and what I look like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You totally should do it. I got the perfect outfit. Congratulations. Let's do that. That'd be funny next year. So I'm hilarious one in. Let's play your song down home. We're going to play. You give us some extra love. But congratulations on the success. And congratulations on a great 2022. And I'm sure we'll talk to you very soon next year, buddy. Thanks, man. This song is special. It's about my dad, it's a special one. Also, Eddie, a great basketball coach, by the way. I didn't know if you were going to talk about it.

I didn't know if he knew that I was in basketball. No, I had no idea. Okay. Listen, I know everything. Can I say what that's about Jimmy, or do you care? Oh, for sure. Eddie's coach is Jimmy's kid, one of Jimmy's kids. And he says that your son is legit.

He is pretty good. We're hoping he gets taller. He's hoping he gets taller, too. But what I love about him, he's a lot like me when he finds something he loves and wants to do. He like overly commits to it. So like he practices for hours just dribbling the ball around and out. Then for shooting jump shots, then he wakes up and does push-ups and sit-ups. And this is all without me telling him.

Wow. How old is he? Nine. He's eight. Wow. Nine, yeah. Let me tell you, too. His intensity on the court is next level.

Like, he doesn't joke because I like to keep it fun. You know, like it's all about fun. But when we're playing, it's serious. And I'll tell a little joke here and there. but his son doesn't laugh. He's like, he's just dead serious. Game time. Yeah, I love that.

Jimmy, congratulations, buddy. We will talk to you soon and happy New Year and all the stuff you say to somebody and we'll, what's up? Oh, good tidings. Yeah, and good tidings to you, my friend. Oh, yeah, good tidings. All right, there he is, Jimmy Allen.

But they stayed in touch, writing letters. Guys, they both just turned 100 years old and they still keep in touch. They've only met twice.

I would love to sit there and just listen to the entire conversation of them talking and catching up. I love it. Yeah, I'm good on listening for a long time. I mean, I can't understand a lot of it.

You're walking through the book story. You're like, oh, I'm going to get someone a book. I've already read that book, man. Sorry, I might have to take it back. Give me books. Show the guy, someone. Literature. Oh!

Incorrect. You thought that was right, Eddie. I did. I really did. Points are tripled. Oh my gosh. Score right now. Lunchbox 20, Eddie, 17, Amy, 14. That's anybody's game, but you got to get an answer here, Eddie.

Guys, this is huge. There are one, two, three answers on the board. We're looking for the top 10. Most returned Christmas gifts. At number one was clothes and shoes. Jewelry at two. Home appliances at four. Workout equipment at five.

Perfume and makeup at six and seven and candles and tools. At 8 and 9, I just spoiled one of them was makeup, so that one is dead. That's the one I had, too. Eddie. No, I didn't have it. I didn't have it.

There are two answers left on the board. I'm an idiot. I'm sorry. Go ahead. Okay, check it out, though. You didn't spoil it, but I know it. You get a CD or a DVD, and you're like, I have no way to play this.

I'm returning it. I'm returning it. Show Eddie. The mid-90s. No. Oh. Oh. That was part of returning.

it guys. Eddie's like you get a VHS. No, no, stop. Okay. You can't return a gift card, can you? You can. I think you can. You can. So do it, Amy. There are two answers on the board, but if you miss it, lunchbox wins. You're lying. Okay, get it, don't do that one, Amy. Two answers on the board. Okay. I'm going to go broad here. All gift cards. With, like, furniture. Furniture. Well, it could be, that could be an issue. Show her an Ottoman. No.

Guys. Guys. Go. We missed the biggest one. What? Electronics. Number three was electronics. That was the alarm clock, Eddie. And number 10 was... Wait, wait, I'm still guessing. You already won.

I know, but I like doing. Go ahead. I don't know. Say lingerie. Laugere! That's good. That's good. You didn't say it, though. I don't think underwear's lingerie.

Why would you yell wait? I had it on my list. What are we waiting for? Was it really lingerie? Yes, number 10. So underwear would work? Yeah. Our winner's luckbox.

Good win. Good morning, everybody. Here it is right here. The Christmas song we love to say. I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Only a hippopotamus will do. It's a good one. Casey Musgrave has a really good version of this too.

Oh yeah, I've heard that. It's good. So she wants hippopotamus for Christmas. And lunchbox wondered if you could actually get one of those. What do you call? So who'd you call? Called a zoo. They're there.

You're right. I mean, they have a hippopotamus at the zoo. So here's lunchbox calling the zoo. What do you want to say here? And I just used pretty much the lyrics of this song to try to negotiate a deal for a hippopotamus. Okay, here we go. Hello, this is from the G-Zoo. Yeah, I was calling because I need to get a hippopotamus for Christmas.

Oh, like a stuffed hippopotamus? I know. My son really wants a hippopotamus for Christmas. Well, we have a stuffed one, a plastic one that comes with a giraffe, a ranger, and a toy Jeep, and a hippopotamus T-shirt. but I don't think we allow hippopotamus to be sold, sir. Well, my kid said, I don't want a doll, no dinky tinker toy. I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy.

So I have to get a hippopotamus. Only a hippopotamus will do. We're not a marketplace. We sell membership. No, man, let me tell you. This is Jason Gibble businessman making business deals trying to get that money. And so I know you're saying that, oh, you don't sell a hippopotamus, but listen, I'll pay whatever you want.

I mean. That's still not going to be popular. possible, sir. We're just, a hippopotamus is not for sale at our zoo. I only, my son only likes hippopotamuses and a hippopotamus is only that thing will do. His mom says, oh, the hippopotamus will eat him, but his teacher told him the hippopotamus is a vegetarian. That's all good and well, sir, but the danger is much larger than that. It's, you need to have trained staff and we're not, we're not going to sell you with hippopotamus. Oh, that's not a big deal. I only like hippopotamuses and hippopotamuses. Potomuses like me too, so there will be no problem.

So I will come by and have a check for $15,000. Just come and purchase a membership. All right, I'll see in a little bit. I'll see it. I'll bring the check by. Thanks a lot, man. There he is. Oh, boy.

I think part of that enjoyment was lunchbox trying to say hippopotamuses. Guys, it's a hard word. Like, when you're trying to say it, I'm a hibb, blah, blah, da, da. It's a good song, though. Is it the plural hippopotamuses? That's a good question. Probably what if it's hippopotamia? Yeah.

I don't know. but it says it in the song. The lyric says hippopotamuses. Okay, well. I did like that you got to that too. Because you made a, yeah, it's hippopotamus, plural. Because it does say it in the song, hippopotamuses. It's either hippopotamia, hippopotamuses, or hippopotamus.

Oh, so all the above. Oh, all the above. Okay. That's a good one, though. Good, good, good. Now we have another clip here. Now, this is of lunchbox too, but you don't know that it's being recorded of you. What?

Right. Oh, I think. he knew it was being recorded. But he didn't know you were going to say that. That's right. So Eddie has brought in some audio of you doing what? Okay. So he just says he has problems with words. He had a problem with one word in particular here. What's the situation? What commercials? He was recording some cellular company and he could not say the word cellular for the life of him. Join the millions who have switched.

Guys, I thought you all would like that. I did like that because it makes me not feel so stupid when I do it. But cellular is a tough word. It is such a hard word to say. You can probably say it now, just repeating it after me, cellular. Cellular, but when you're reading it, it's like consumer cellular,

it's just a... And then that what? time you got it, but you couldn't say lunchbox afterwards. Anyway, can't... Oh, God, I can't do it. Commutercellular.com. I'm loco. Love it.

A voicemail from Betsy in Massachusetts. I watched the most fabulous Apple Plus movie last night called Spirited. It's Will Farrell and Ryan Gosling. And it's a musical. It's awesome. It's so much fun. I hope that you all get a chance to watch it. I'm sure

it will be right up Amy's Alley. Hope you're all well and having a wonderful holiday season. Good tidings, Bobby. Good tidings to you, Betsy. I started it. You like it? Is it? It's a little different. It's Ryan Reynolds. Yes, Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell. It's different. Spirit, is that what's called? It's different. I would expect it to be.

Thank you for that call. I want to do voicemail. Ray, let's do Joni from Pittsburgh, PA. Hey, Bobby, just finished watching Harmony holidays. Amy's seen in the bathroom. I've got tears in my eyes. I'm trying to call you without crying. It was wonderful. I loved the movie, and I thought Amy was fantastic, and she looked dynamite. Anyway, happy holidays, I'll love you. Come on, Amy. Look at that.

Job, Amy. By the way, Warner Bros. reached out to inform us that holiday harmony will be available on its own digitally, which you can go to, like, any digital place, like Amazon, and just buy it and watch it. Oh, okay. You're becoming more famous by the day. Well, come on. Wow, Amy. Hey, Amy, stay humble, will you?

The bathroom. Please. Listen, it's okay. My kids keep me humble. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Bobby, I thought of you when I saw this story because this whole poll was taken on America's favorite grocery store.

Oh, okay, let me go. Favorite grocery store. Mine was pigly-wiggly back in the day because low, low prices, but also a pig. Yeah. I'm from Arkansas, the hogs, right? But pigly-wiggly was funny to say. In every way, it was the best.

Food for less was also a big one where we were from. And then later on, in life once I moved to Texas and lived in Austin for a big part of my young adult life. There were two. H.E.B. was massive. Huge. The best. And there was a Kroger near, but Kroger we had everywhere.

But H.E.B. and Kroger, I say Kroger's probably number one. What do you have? Okay, well, I thought of you because adult you loves to shop for groceries at the gas station. Yes, because 7-Eleven comes in at number one for all. You know, 7-Eleven, though, is like a hybrid. It's a little better than just a gas station,

because I would even go, I'd go like the Conoco or anywhere to get milk with like one day from expiring. Oh, man. But 7-11 is up a level, but I get it. They're everywhere, so it's easy to get in and out. And you don't have to park and walk all the way to the back to get something. Other ones in the top five, Aldi, Kroger, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods. Yeah, Kroger, yes. Aldi must be, is that California?

It's here. There's one here. We have multiple here. Oh, do we? And depending on where you live, it's, you know, grocery stores owned by the same people are also, they change their names for regions. Oh, wow. What? So, yeah, they're a different, like, ownership group.

Like, Kroger, in general, like, they're... Kroger's are pretty much everywhere. I know, but I think somewhere they're Harris-Teter. Same owner? I think, pretty sure. Oh, that is crazy. A lot of them do that. He feels scammed.

Yeah, the T-E. Like, that is mind-blown. Yeah, it's a same. Like, why not just keep the same name? Well, because they could have bought a, like, a regional group, and they just kept the name. Oh, got it. Yeah. But Kroger owns and operates.

Kroger's Ralphs, Dillon, Smiths, King Supers, Fries, QFC, City Market, Owens, J. J.C. Payless, Barkers, Harris, Teeter, pick and save, Metro Market, and Mariano's. Wow. That's a lot of companies. It's a lot. Yeah. And Kroger's, it's good. Oh, yeah, that's good. What else? The TSA had to put out a letter to everybody reminding people, hey, you can't bring nun chucks, sawblades, switchblade knives on with your carry-ons. Hold on a second. Hey, Kailen, unpack my numtucks and grenades. I'm making note. Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't know until right now. And the letter they put out, they said, for future reference,

these are things that you'll have to put in checked bags. Thank you for your time and consideration. Oh, Caitlin, never mind. Move the grenade to the check bag. Okay, go ahead. According to people... By the way, I'm kidding. I don't know if anybody's listening.

No one thought you were serious. I know, but I'm just saying, I'm kidding. It was a joke. The one thing you shouldn't take as a grenade ever. Ever. Ever. Even no one. But I was kidding to both listeners who will get on me,

but also, Anybody in the government. I love America. And I plan to do nothing wrong ever. But also, heads up. If you were a spice bomb, it's shaped like a grenade. The cologne, spice bomb, yeah. Yeah.

And you don't even own nunchucks. What'd you call them? Okay, listen, I always thought they were numchucks. Yeah. But this article says nunchucks. Nunchucks, yeah. Okay. Got it.

Okay. People Magazine says that Zach Brown is engaged to actress model. Kelly. Zach Brown's engaged? Oh, I saw this. Yeah. She's... What's her name?

Kelly. Yazdi? Or, I mean, she's, yeah, I looked her up on Ndivi, she's acted, she's a model, she does a lot of adventurous type things. A lot of times in a swimsuit. She's really pretty. I don't know her, I haven't seen her with him, I guess.

But congratulations to him. Yeah, multiple sources say he proposed in Hawaii a while ago, like back in July or something like that. Good for them. And her ring has been seen in certain Instagram posts. What, without her? Just the ring. No, her hand with the ring on it and her and Zach, but they just hadn't talked about it.

But anyway, there you go. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Matthew Wilkinson was on the ground, working on the brakes on his work truck with his 15-year-old son, Dailen. Dailen was helping him out, just handing them stuff.

And as soon as the rotor came off, the truck dropped down. Oh, my. Pinned him to the ground. The dad was rushed to the hospital and treated for some minor injuries, but he didn't have a clear recollection of how he was able to get out from underneath the truck. Later, because of all the cameras people have, the door cams, the doorbell cams.
