Starting point is 00:02:00 Around the room, this next person plays in an NBA 2K league with me. And he once walked from West Virginia down to Tennessee. He literally did with his own feet. Here he is. Producer Eddie, everyone. That's funny. Look, I know there's no doubt that you were the biggest Arkansas fan. But, dude, what I saw on Thursday when we went to the game, the basketball game, Arkansas versus Auburn, just solidified how big of a fan you are. It was crazy watching you leave the arena.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Amy, listen to this. We're leaving. And it's not like, oh, game's over, whatever, we're going home. No, he goes straight to the concession booth or the T-shirt booth to buy merch. Like, he looks like a 14-year-old at a concert going like. like, oh, I like that t-shirt. Ooh, I'll take L. Do you have L in a large? Do you have J and a medium?
Starting point is 00:02:44 And I was buying gifts for people too. He's like, Eddie, you all want? I got Eddie and Kevin a shirt. I was like, hey, everybody wins tonight. That was awesome. I forgot about that. Did you buy a banner too for your wall? No, but I said, do your kids want a banner?
Starting point is 00:02:56 And you said, no, they didn't. So if they're listening, Daddy didn't want a banner, a free banner for the SEC tournament. It's because I'd have to buy three. Let's not do that. You're right, though? I forgot about that. I can't just bring one banner home. One of them will be like, well, what did I get?
Starting point is 00:03:08 I think if I were to look back in my credit card statement, I forgot about buying everybody's shirts. It's like somebody at the bar who's celebrating and buys all the drinks. Yes. And then forgets. It's a great game. Eddie, you get a shirt. He'll take L.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Kevin, you get a jeet. I was getting souvenir. Hilarious. You're right. And I didn't get me a shirt. Wait, you didn't? I bought everybody's shirts for me. Did you forget to get yourself a shirt?
Starting point is 00:03:28 Because that's what you went for. I think so now that I think back because I wasn't such a high. Okay, I'll give you my shirt. No, you keep that one. That's for you. You were a big part of that game. There was a point of the game where everybody's cheering. And there's a picture taken from the coach's perspective.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And you see everybody cheering. And then Eddie and Kevin have their phones out. Oh, dude, we're loving life. Everybody's doing the Woo Pig. And Eddie and Kevin get their phones out just recording the whole thing. This is awesome. All right, moving on. He recently broke the bathroom soap dispenser after checking its stability.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And no laptop is safe around this person in the facility. Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Bobby and Eddie, we're right. Companies are giving us less and less products in the product box. Bobby said there's less cereal and his cereal. Eddie was complaining the deodorant doesn't last as long. Well, now, guys, I bought Girl Scout cookies last week.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Let me tell you, the cookies are small and there's not as many cookies that are used to be in the box. Because, I mean, they're gone like that. Yeah. Like, I eat like five, and I'm like, wow, they're already gone. Are you sure you don't eat more? No, no chance. I mean, they are smaller.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I mean, they look smaller. They fit in my hand. Like, it's like, man, they weren't that small. They're smaller and less? Yeah, oh, yeah, 100%. I don't think they're smaller, bud. I don't think you're getting bigger. They're maybe less in the box
Starting point is 00:04:36 It seems smaller to me But the cookies are the same size Maybe I don't know I'm just saying They're ripping us off Just like you guys said One time Eddie opened a bag of chips
Starting point is 00:04:46 You know how they're all fat And air blown And then their chips in there There was not a single chip in the bag That was crazy man It was zero They really got us in that one What if that was a thing
Starting point is 00:04:55 Like a campaign they were doing If you find a bag of air You get a million dollars And Eddie missed out on it Wow I just popped it I thought it was kind of cool There was nothing in there Same.
Starting point is 00:05:04 I was like, dang, we got a story for a long time. All right, moving on. This next person will glitch sometimes without warning, and she provides our show with a pile of stories every morning. Here she is. Amy, everybody. So if you're in a relationship, I have something they say will prevent an argument 90% of the time.
Starting point is 00:05:22 We all pull out our pencils and pins and sharpies, go ahead. If your partner's coming to you with something and either before they start talking or once they get done with whatever it is, they have to get off their chest, you say, hey, would you like comfort or solutions right now? Okay, because there's a difference I've learned. Only recently. I'm like a 12-year-old when it comes to relationships.
Starting point is 00:05:43 And I always wanted to just give solutions. There was no comfort. Like, what's the problem? Let me fix it. But I have learned that sometimes that's not what my wife wants. She doesn't want me to go and mow somebody down. She wants me to actually be like, let me just hug you and listen to you. What in the world?
Starting point is 00:05:58 That's tough. I would never want that. I would want it to be fixed. Yeah, that's a number. other way you can say it. Do you want help or hugs? Does that make you laugh? Your own little thing there?
Starting point is 00:06:08 Okay, okay, okay. But you could, a response can also be, hey, I want both. Oh, don't give me that response, though. That's asking for too much. You can't save you and comfort you. Yeah, one of the two here. Yeah, the comfort
Starting point is 00:06:22 so if you do want comfort or solution, that's what you can say. Yeah. Hmm. Do you want comfort? Hmm. I think I'm supposed to just read it. Yeah, read it because. Because they tell you anyway, if they end the whole conversation with, what could I do about this? What should I do?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Wait, read it. You mean just read the room? Yeah, read the room. No, this is, huh? I think at this point, I think I'm supposed to just read her. No. This is what I'm telling you. This is what's going to prevent the argument. Because if you're reading her and you read her wrong.
Starting point is 00:06:49 I do quite often. And then you don't give her or him what they need in the moment, then that's what causes the frustration that leads you. But I feel like if I ask her, though, like, that's like me going, what would you like me to get you for your birthday? That's what I feel like that is. And then when I get her what she wants, she's like, well, I told you, though. And that's never happened, but that's why I don't ask. Okay. Well, we should start asking.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And then the great part is, too, you should feel safe in asking for exactly what you need for what you need. Because sometimes people are like, oh, I know, I really do need comfort right now, but I don't want to ask for it. No, ask for what you need. I'm going to read the room, though, for a while. I'm still trying to get the grip of this thing. All right. All right, Ray, go ahead. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas.
Starting point is 00:07:29 He's the Razorbacks ultimate fan. and he seems to always have a plan. Bobby Bones. Thank you very much. Hey, I posted over the weekend a picture. I just want to address this now. I forgot to talk about it yesterday. I posted a picture on my Instagram story
Starting point is 00:07:40 of some awesome biscuits over the weekend. And people were like, oh, yeah, it looks like a whole 30 to me. I didn't eat the biscuits. Caitlin's dad and grandpa were in town in this restaurant I went to who made awesome biscuits, and I took a picture of it and posted it. But I got more crap for that than almost anything I've done in three months.
Starting point is 00:07:55 People love to be like, uh-huh, caught you in a lie, buddy. No, I didn't eat the biscuits. I wish I could have. do you how miserable it is to go eat at a good place and not be able to eat all the stuff you normally want to eat? Hate that. And I'm not doing it to lose weight.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I'm doing it to find out what's wrong on my stomach. Do you need comfort or solutions? I don't need either. I just need a vent. Read the root. Okay. And then I was also going to recommend this, even if you're not doing what I'm doing,
Starting point is 00:08:19 which is eliminating everything to figure out what's wrong. There's a brand called Primal Kitchen. Ever heard of it? Yeah, it's good. It's pretty good, and it's super clean. meaning you can eat it on Whole 30, which Whole 30 is just whole, not Whole Foods the restaurant, but like Whole Foods. And they have mustard and ketchup and mayonnaise.
Starting point is 00:08:38 So if you're trying to get right when you can't eat a lot of stuff, because you can have no preservatives on this Whole 30, no sugars that aren't fruit. The Primal Kitchen brand's pretty good. It's a little more expensive, but that's the weird thing about healthy food. How is supposed to get healthy when it costs more to get healthy? So dumb. So dumb. Okay, they have a vegan casso and, no.
Starting point is 00:08:55 That sounds terrible. All I hear is vegan. No. No. me, this is so good. But speaking of money, it's got, that's a little more, but you can stretch it. So what you do is dump the vegan primal kitchen, peso in a bowl, add like a, uh, cheese, a jar of salsa to it and then add a can of black beans. And voila, you just stretched it and made it a whole party dip. There's no such thing as queso without cheese. That's not. It's not caseo.
Starting point is 00:09:20 It's cheese. It's just cheese. Yeah. They always spell it a little different so they can get away with that. Right. All right. Look, here we are. It's Tuesday. Thank you for being here. Time for the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:09:40 My house is the go-to house for kids to come and play. I have three young kids and have kids ages two all the way up to 11. Coming over daily for several hours, it's just become the place. I love being the house that kids favor, but I feel like some parents are taking advantage. and sending their kids over to get them out of their house. I've tried to set boundaries and send kids home, but sometimes parents have to run errands and told their kids they can stay at our house until they get home.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Other times I've heard parents tell their kids they can play at our house while they run to the store. My kids are never invited to their house, mostly due to their age. I feel like it's all one-sided. I'd like to propose that if a child spends more than seven hours a week at our house, they should pay a drop-in rate, send snacks, or send their kid to do some chores.
Starting point is 00:10:26 My husband thinks I'm losing my mind, but I'm serious. Would it work? What do y'all think? Signed, overworked daycare neighbor. Okay, Amy, you're the first one to make an uh-huh sound. Your thoughts on this and how you would approach it. I love to send my kids somewhere. That's good.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Yeah, no, I guess I don't really know how you handle it with the other parents, but you just maybe set some boundaries and be like, hey, time to go home or... Put up one of those clocks on the front door that shows the time of you're open and closed. Yeah. Like at the moment. We'll return soon.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Yeah. I want my house to be more full, though. I wish more kids came over. It helped. Like, for me, honestly, if my kids are playing at another house or my house, it's a win because they're busy playing
Starting point is 00:11:12 and I love it. So I wouldn't be mad about it. Eddie? Eh, I hate it. I mean, my house is Grand Central Station for the neighborhood, too. Like, but here's the deal. is she feeding them like i don't feed the kids there in my house that's like when i draw the line
Starting point is 00:11:27 like i'll just be like you're not eating so if you're hungry go home so i mean that's kind of it that's lovable i like that's caring i like it well i mean she's feeling this because she's like being their house for seven hours like that's crazy yeah i think you just can't let the kids stay that long if you don't want the kids to stay that long if they're there all the time you have to tell your kids and they're kids hey today we're we're noon to two if they want to come over that's great they have to see we can't yeah you get you at one of those little You buy you a little clock in, boom, boom, punch clock? When they punch in and punch out.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, kid punch and punch out. They shouldn't be there so much that it's taking away from your life. And also, these parents shouldn't be taking advantage of it. Now, if the kids just always like to play together, that's different than if a parent's going, you know what, we got to go to the grocery store. Just go over there. Yeah, that's the part that's hard for me. I don't know how I would confront them.
Starting point is 00:12:16 So I would just, yeah, put the boundary on the kids. You got to go. Yeah. They can come over. People want to come over inside the house? Three to six is a good time. Otherwise, we just can't do it. You got to set those boundaries.
Starting point is 00:12:28 You can relax the boundaries at times. If things are going good, you sure can. But you got to set them so people know not to take advantage of them. And kids are understanding. When you tell them, hey, go home, they say, okay, yes, yeah. And it's not even about kids. This is general. Like, I don't know the kid thing.
Starting point is 00:12:41 But I mean, just generally, this is the same rule. Like, you have to set boundaries on these situations. You mean, when you go visit somewhere? No, when he hosts a party, he's like everybody. People know before the party starts when time. You need to go by. We do. And it's not awkward if you tell everybody ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Like we're out by 930. Or like when the game's over, we're all piecing out. I will say that to every single person because it's not offensive if it's five hours before because it's not actually meant because of them. It's meant because of me. And the other thing is people don't want to be there too long if they feel like they're putting someone out. And then they also know they're not putting me out if it's only 8 o'clock. And I say 930. They're not like, oh, no, does you want us to leave?
Starting point is 00:13:16 No, I don't actually. I love you being here. I said ahead of time it was 930. so I don't want you to feel a bit of guilt. So it's for both reasons. And this is turning about me and how Amy threw me under the bus there and then how... No, I'm saying you have good boundaries with that. Yeah, good boundaries.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah, but what about the drop-in rate? Is it okay to Venmo? No, you don't have people there that long. You can't do that. Oh, I was going to say, you send a Venmo request saying $25. Your kids are here every day. I want to put snacks out. If you started feeding them, then there we go.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You can do that. You definitely could do that. But I would just say you need to set the boundaries of, hey, we're only going to have a couple of. hours a day can come in. They want to play in front of the house. That's all good. And if they want to eat, then eventually you've got to hit the parent up and be like, hey,
Starting point is 00:13:59 I'm feeding them here. I don't have money for nine kids. But it's good. Also, hey, good for you. You have the place that feels warm, welcome. You are welcoming. That's great. I want that. Amy wants that. Send him to Amy's house. There you go. All right, that's the mail bag. Close it up. We got your email.
Starting point is 00:14:15 I'm to close Bobby's mail bag. They did a whole study on dogs on what kind of music that dogs like, I give you the results, and then I give you my thoughts. Researchers say reggae and soft rock are the genres that dogs love the most. How do they know? They whack their tail,
Starting point is 00:14:36 I bet. That doesn't matter. They sway. You can't actually a dog doesn't know what music is. How do you know? Because I know, I'm with dogs all the time. Every day. They don't know what music is. I've tried to explain what music is. Oh, you talk to them about it. Yeah. They're like lunchboxes. I don't like music.
Starting point is 00:14:52 They don't care. Like, that's just a... They must have just found dogs that weren't a good mood that day. Also, I don't like reggae music. And I like all kinds of music. Really? It's not that I dislike it. I just don't like it.
Starting point is 00:15:04 And there's a difference. I guess I like that one Bob Marley song. Yes, I can take one. Don't worry. But they all sound exactly the same. They do, yeah. So, like, I get it, and there are good ones. Like, don't worry about a thing.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Don't worry, be happy. Yeah. Not really, not really reggae. Oh, it's reggae. Here's a little song I wrote. Oh, come on. Bobby McPheran, that's reggae. Maybe. You can convince me because I'm not a big reggae guy. I'll ask your dogs. But I love that song. So maybe I do like reggae.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I like Bob Marley's. Don't worry, because every little thing is going to be all right. I like that one. I like, what is love? Baby don't hurt me. I don't think that's reggae. I guess not. I do love some soft rock, though. The other one was a surprising relationship.
Starting point is 00:15:52 regret that people have, meaning they get into a relationship, they do this, and they're like, well, I wish I wanted to done that. You want to take a shot? Yeah. Well, it must be dirty if you're answering like that. It's not dirty. It's not dirty. Because if you're answering like, I know it, but I shouldn't say it. Are you happy in the relationship or you're not? Yeah, no, you're in. You're happy.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Regret. So it's something that you regret doing. Even though you're still happy, you're like, wish I wouldn't have done that. Being the first to say I love you. I like that answer. That's not it. Oh, that's not bad. Man, introducing her to your family.
Starting point is 00:16:30 That's a weird one. Because you're happy. Okay. No, that's not it. But okay, Eddie? Yeah, man, I'm... Maybe taking her out with your friends and doing, like, just something stupid. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:42 With your friends. The answer is sharing a password. Oh. Like you, your wife has your passwords. Here's thing, my wife has every password that I have. I have none of hers. Or maybe she told me... I guess she's probably told me...
Starting point is 00:16:52 don't remember. I don't care. She can probably give them to you, right? But that's weird that you, she has yours and you don't have hers. You should. The difference is she has a good memory and I don't. Because I'll be like, hey, what's the key? I got to get something off her phone. What's the key? She'll be like, 65 to bed a bit. Okay, I swear to you five seconds. I don't remember it. And so every time, like if I wanted to hack into her phone by using her code, I wouldn't know it. Where I've given her mind a couple times because she's like, hey, I want to get this picture off of your phone. Give it to her. She's got ironclad memory. she can also spell any word backward.
Starting point is 00:17:25 And you guys have seen this with your own eyeballs, haven't you? Or I can go, okay, Felice Navidad. And she's like Felice Navidod, F-E-L-I-Z, and A-V-A-V-A-V-D-A-D. She can see it in her head. Oh, that's crazy. Like she has crazy memory, which is bad for me in arguments. Yes. Which is really bad for me in arguments.
Starting point is 00:17:41 She remembers everything. And also, if she wants to lie, she could. And I would be like, that's true. Because I'm just like, I can't prove it. And I don't remember anything. I have no. I got way more going in and then regurgent
Starting point is 00:17:55 back out. I don't really keep it anything. But yeah, sharing a password. Yeah, she has all mine and she's probably giving me all hers and I just don't remember any of them. But then I should probably keep in my phone because I really want to get down and dirty deal a little hacking. I wonder why people regret it. Probably because that people get all up in their business.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's invasion of privacy. And it's supposed to be shared business-ish, I guess. I don't really know the rules. What are the rules in you? guys' households? She doesn't have my password, so it doesn't matter. I mean... What if she asked you, hey, I need to lock...
Starting point is 00:18:27 Does your computer, when you open it up, have a password to log in? Yeah. Like on the front screen. Yeah. Does she know it? No. What if she said, hey, I need to get into your laptop and you're not here. Would you give it to her? No. Why would she need to get in my computer? But that's not the question. No.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Let's just say hypothetically. What if, like, on the desktop, there was a document for you guys, you guys preschool, and if you don't, they're going to keep your kid forever preschool, you never get it back. Oh, man. She needs to get in there. Keep the kid, I guess. Can I wait an hour? Do you get home?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Why don't you want to give it to her? I mean, I don't want her snooping on my stuff. What's on there? Nothing. Guys, you know what's on there. Your search history? No, my search history is for work. Girls in the key.
Starting point is 00:19:06 No, we see what you look at during work. Yeah, but that's work. It's like a new story. No, no one asks you look at Thong Thursday. No, it's like Kylie Jenner shows off New Thong. Right, exactly. Got a cook on that. But we don't talk about that.
Starting point is 00:19:17 But it's New York Post. She knows it's work. work. But you're just learning all that in case in case it comes to it, comes up and you're... Yeah. I just don't think she needs my password. I don't look at her stuff. She doesn't even look at my stuff. Are you guys married? Yeah, we're married.
Starting point is 00:19:32 You do right, okay. I don't know. Oh, we know passwords. Yeah, I mean, she grabs my phone, she knows the password. I get hers. I know hers. Our passwords are pretty easy too. I think Amy may have my password. Do you know my passwords? I know. At one point in time,
Starting point is 00:19:48 I probably did. I mean, at one point in time, I was in control of whether or not you'd live. And I was like, if you ever unplug me. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, and I was getting mad and she hadn't done anything wrong. Yeah. I was like, did you ever, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:20:00 But medical power of attorney gave me the power to do whatever. Well, no, not whatever, no. Anything. At some point you're not. We're going to donate his private parts. Well, he's not dead, ma'am. Let's donate him anyway. I have the power.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yes. At some point, you're not going to want to lay there. I told her, if you unplug me, and then I come back and I live, I will wake up and kill you. And if I die after you don't plug me, I will hunt you. Haunt forever. And then I will scare you and you will want to die. So it wasn't worth it. So yeah, it was tough. But now that's on
Starting point is 00:20:30 Caitlin. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Amy, when did you start trying to figure out where you were going to college? Oh, I was a little late. My senior year not good. But at the beginning of your senior year? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:47 But a lot of people went to school for sure. By their junior year, they were already doing and stuff. You lunchbox? When my mom filled out the application in March of my senior year. So a couple months before graduation. But your mom filled it out? Yeah, she filled out my application to the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Starting point is 00:21:05 But why did her? Why didn't you do it? Did you do any of them? No, no, that was the only application we filled out. By we, you mean her? Yeah, that was it. That was the only college I applied to was UTSA. That was it. What if you wouldn't have got in? I don't know. I only applied to one school and I didn't get in. So what did you do?
Starting point is 00:21:21 I went to the junior college. and then left there with a 3.9 GPA and boom got in. I mean, my guidance counselor, I mean, she was an amazing lady. I mean, she sat me down. She goes, you know what? It's just disappointing. You're just going to go to community college. It's very disappointing.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But didn't your parents still tell you the college wasn't for everybody? Yeah, but I mean, as a guidance, yeah, they sat me down. They said, listen. Everybody sits you down. Sit down. I've never sat him down. They sat me down. They said, listen, college is not for everyone.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Some people just work after high school and there's another one thing. but my guidance counselor, like, giving me the, like, 4-1-1 about, oh, how dare you just go to community college? How rude of her? Like, she's probably terrible at her job. You just, like, lifted her up and then knocked her down. I'm not understanding the logic there. Yeah. Like, she's great.
Starting point is 00:22:06 She's great. I was being facetious. Isn't that a word? I've heard that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, facetious. Eddie, you? Oh, after I graduated high school, all my friends left to college. And I was like, whoa, wait, where are you all going?
Starting point is 00:22:15 When did you all apply to college? You know, it's funny? Now that I'm way out of it, I don't think you need to go to college if you don't need to go to college. Like I think there are some jobs and some career paths, but I don't always miss her. I used to think, because nobody in my family ever graduated high school, much less college, it was important to me. But like, sometimes college is a waste. But sometimes it's fantastic, especially, and I do want to talk about this girl named Dea Brown,
Starting point is 00:22:37 her sophomore year. That's why I was asking. Her sophomore year, she started applying and doing research and preparing to go. She was doing virtual visits during the pandemic. In 10th grade, she's sending letters, getting in the applications, even scholarship process. Well, smash cut, over 50 colleges had got her multiple letters and multiple applications, and she's got over $1.3 million in scholarship offers. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Man, that's close to what I got. Yeah, what did you get? 3,000. Austin, livestock and rodeo. And I want to give it a big shout out to Chascoe contracting. How did he get that? He's still shouting them out. Chasco contracting.
Starting point is 00:23:12 They made way more about that one mention there than they even had to pay for this. But he's mentioned multiple. Let me tell you. No, they're the ones that gave me it. They were the one that sponsored my scholarship. So Chasco contracting. I never thanked you in person. I should probably reach out to them and say thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:24 But how did you apply for that? Like what did you say you did? Were you in? No, I wasn't in. They did half for like people that were in FFA. And half were for people that were involved in a lot of organizations. And I signed up for every single organization in high school, paid the like $20 fee.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Never went to the meetings just so I could put it on an application. Hey, you know that meeting where the guy's thinking? Smart. He's holding his finger up to his head. Yeah. That's that. I was a member of the key club. I don't even know what the key club does.
Starting point is 00:23:51 That's president at Key Club. Guantanagan. A Spanish club, I was in that. Hey, C. So who filled out your application for the scholarship? Probably my mom. You don't remember doing it? No, I don't remember doing that.
Starting point is 00:24:01 All of a sudden, you just got a note going. I just got a note from the awesome livestock and rodeo said, congratulations. And when I showed up to the banquet, Chasco contracting was on my table. That's awesome. And I was like, man, this is so cool. She's awesome. Lunchbox. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:24:16 That's awesome. That's another reason to apply early, though, because, like, she did, you can take probably take advantage of the scholarships when you're not rushing. That's a great story from both. Brought to you by Chasco. What is it? Chasco contracting. This segment brought you by Chasco contracting. Do they still exist? They are massive now. They are big time now. Like you drive down
Starting point is 00:24:35 through Texas, you see their big old tanks building stuff. Are they local to where you went to school? Like this someone They were in Austin. I don't know. I think they started in Austin and they just got big because... Round Rock. There you go. There you go. Well, big shout to Chascoe construction because you really made this guy's life
Starting point is 00:24:52 and he wouldn't be here without you. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Does this sound good or disgusting? Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream. Disgusting. I mean, it sounds gross. And I love Ranch.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah, that mix does not sound good. And sometimes there'll be mixes. Remember we did like mustard and watermelon and it oddly was pretty good, but I can't see any way possible that Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream is going to be good. But somebody tried it, and somebody said it was good, right? Well, or they're just trying to be like a novelty item.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Well, but they made enough to put it in stores. Last Friday was National Ranch Day. So Brooklyn ice cream maker Van Luen announced its partner with Hidden Valley to make Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream. It drops exclusively a Walmart on March 20th, so a little less than a week. Come on. It has, no, not come on. Wait, we got to throw it on the wheel, something. I feel like it'll sell out.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I would do that. I would spend the will in a loser's eyes to eat it for sure. But it contains the original classic flavors from Hidden Valley and has the savory taste of buttermilk, flavorful herbs. That's just not ice cream. Do you like ranch? Yeah, it's okay. But you like ranch. Yes, I like ranch.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I like that ranch and it cannot lie. Then you're going to like this. I don't love ranch. I like ranch. I don't think that that means we're going to love it. I don't know. Somehow if you like the flavor of rain. No, I don't think just because you like two things
Starting point is 00:26:21 means they go great together. Yeah, like I love ketchup, but I don't want ketchup ice cream. Here's another one. This sounds good or disgusting. Kit Kat cereal. Good. Yes. Sign me up right now.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I just want to make cereal out of Kit Katz. I don't even know put it in a box. Just give me a bunch of Kit Katz. I put it milk, eat it with a spoon. I bet you could. Yeah, do it. Kit Kat said they are launching a brand new breakfast cereal. Can you imagine how healthy this is going to be?
Starting point is 00:26:45 Oh, gosh. Oh, it's going to be the most sugar of any cereal. But Kit Kat cereal, Nestle, they're coming together, and crispy squares with a milk chocolate coating. And it maintains the essence of the much-loved original chocolate bar. That's from Eat This.com. Now, this is the kind of news I want for food. Not ranch ice cream. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Now, I have had turkey and dressing ice cream before at one of those places. Oh, that sounds disgusting. It does. You're absolutely right. It does. But it was actually pretty good. Told you. But I love turkey and dressing and ice cream.
Starting point is 00:27:17 I only like ranch. And it was weird. And I wouldn't want turkey and dressing ice cream every day. It was kind of like I expected it to be terrible. So the fact that it was medium, I was like, it's so good. Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream? Disgusting. You know, lunchbox doesn't like ranch because it's white.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Yeah, he doesn't eat white stuff, right? I don't like white. No blue cheese. No, I don't know what that is. What? Just cheese, right? Blue cheese, like for your wings? You dip it in.
Starting point is 00:27:43 No, no, no. Oh, gross. No, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Meonaze? Oh. So you don't eat anything white? Nope.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Do you eat vanilla ice cream? I mean, with chocolate syrup on it. Oh, you got an awful light. Okay. True, true. And it's more yellow if you look at vanilla ice cream. It's more yellow. On Thursday, the NCAA basketball tournament starts.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yes. We don't like count the playing games. But, just like the Super Bowl, we all put a team into the hat. We've all said we'll put 20 bucks in. So you guys have been moan me the 20 bucks. You've all committed before. We put every school that we've picked in a hat and I'll draw one and that'll be the team that we bet on.
Starting point is 00:28:20 So quickly, I'll go around the room and ask who you guys put in the hat. Ramundo. Purdue, Big Ten, baby. Okay. Oh, boy. That's fine. Purdue, one of the top teams. Morgan, who'd you put in?
Starting point is 00:28:32 My alma mater, I put in Kansas State. It could happen. Eddie? Alabama. 100% of the dominant. Amy. Giggle maggie's. Mike, who'd you put in?
Starting point is 00:28:42 I put in Texas. Oh. That's good pick. Lunchbox? Kansas. Going back to back. What about Scoobah, who do you put in? I put it in Memphis.
Starting point is 00:28:52 This is their year. Okay. Had a chance at it last year. They did win their conference tournament. Yeah, they'd be Houston. You're right. Yeah. They did.
Starting point is 00:29:01 They did. They did his homework. Ray, what about in the side side room? Who did they put in? Who did they put in? UCLA? Oh, my gosh. What's Lauren do?
Starting point is 00:29:09 What about Lauren? She put in Penn State. Oh, that's their school? Yeah. What about Pitts? Who do you put in? It's put in Kansas. So we have two Kansas.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Did I have you put Kansas in two? Yeah. Three Kansases? Oh, boy. Oh, Lord. Are they? Yeah, they're good. No, they're good.
Starting point is 00:29:23 I would hate to see them win, though. Wait, did you go in? I put in Arkansas. Oh, okay, I was going to say it. And I hope that's who it is. What if I'm like, you know, guys, I put in Fordham. All right, so this is a school we're not doing. I'll draw one we're not doing first.
Starting point is 00:29:36 It's going to be a Kansas. So we're not going to do Texas. All right. Dang. Okay. You're going to another one we're not. doing? Yeah, yeah. We're not going to bet all our money on.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Aggie's question mark. That was me because I didn't know if I should pick them, but. And then one more that we're not going to do, and then we'll get toward the one we are doing. We are not doing Penn State. Thank you. So we got lots of Kansas is in here. We've got Memphis. We got Kansas State.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Got Arkansas. We got an Alabama there. The odds are it should be Kansas. based on what's in the hat. So is this the winner? This is the winner. Let's go. Who will be betting are $240 on?
Starting point is 00:30:24 And I'll give you the odds in a second. UCLA. Hey, I like that. Because they got good odds. Let's see here. So, well, they're the fourth. I mean, they're the fourth team. Oh, they're the fourth overall team.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Yeah. So, if we bet $240, $3,0. UCLA, we will win $3,120. Let's go. Ruins! Yeah, let's go Bruins. Wow! That's significant, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:54 That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money, bro. And that's how many people we're in? There are 12 people in at $20. Do the math. $240. What math do you want? What we're all going to get?
Starting point is 00:31:06 Oh, so $3,120, divided by 12 is all you'd have to do. Yeah, yeah. Where's the calculator? That's two. $20.40. $200 each. Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop. Now I forgot my number.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Everybody would get $260. Wow. He's put in $20 to make $260. Okay. So we're over on Draft Kings, and if you go over to Draft Kings, put in Bobby Sports. That's the code. And they have a lot of promos going right now. Put in Bobby Sports. Last year, I made Amy a bunch of money on her, draft Kings.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Yeah. Is it still there? Sit in my account. I get to bet with it. Yeah, that's what you do with it. Yeah, well, let's put it to work. I know, but I need to do it more. And then you all come in and you talk about all this money that you're winning.
Starting point is 00:31:47 No, no, no, no, no. We don't talk about the ones we lost. Yeah, that's the thing you're not hearing. I do a little bit. I'll hit up Eddie and be like, dang, I had a pretty bad loss. I pushed the wrong button. No, how many times do you push the wrong button? Well, once.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I tried to bet my lucky number is 58 when I bet because I've accidentally hit it a couple times, and I accidentally hit two eights. So do that. 888? 588. Oh. I meant to bet 58. And I told Eddie, I said, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I accidentally tried to bet 58. I bet 588. Oh no. And then it looked like I was going to win and then I lost. That hurts. That one. That one hurts. That definitely hurts.
Starting point is 00:32:21 But thank you for sharing your losses. If you want, I can help you again like last year. Yes, let's do it. But you have to take the money out after you win and spend it on something. Yes. Let's go shopping. I'm motivated now. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:33 So we are rooting for UCLA as our show bet. Everybody good? Yeah. Okay. Out of everything in the hat, is that earning us? Is that the good draw? You know, if you pick a team that's worse, it's worth more money, but the odds of them winning aren't as good. Yeah, like if we would have taken us more money, but they would have won like a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:32:54 Yeah. Oh. Yeah, we'd had all of our own radio stations. We'd just owned them all and paid ourselves. We'd been so rich. Golly, they're not that bad, huh? Well, Texas A&M had we bet $240 on them, we'd have won $13,440. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:33:07 You'd love me if that happened, right? Yeah, but, you know, they have to play Texas by second game. We beat Texas before. Yeah, like. So. Yeah, it's just a tough, it's tough run for them. But, you know, I did say we may win chime on later. It may wait till tomorrow to curse them. You still waiting on their coach to give us a call.
Starting point is 00:33:28 He did say that. Still waiting on old buzz to give us a call. A voicemail from Mandy in Alabama. Good morning, studio. I was just calling to tell you that Bobby, your planet's song by The Raging Idiots is as addicting as baby shark. My
Starting point is 00:33:46 5-year-old is interested in learning about the planets and now I can't get your song out of my head. So thanks for that. The planet song is a song Eddie and I did way back in the day to teach kids about the planets and yes I can see how this would be annoying. Here. All the planets. Pluto goes back and forth. It's a planet. It's not a planet
Starting point is 00:34:08 then it's a dwarf planet, then it's nothing. What are they at now? Who cares? Is it even a planet now? Who cares? Thank you, Mandy. I appreciate that. You can stream that. wherever you stream your music, if you want to teach your kids about the planets, go check out the planet song from The Raging Idiots. Here's Amy's pile of stories. I have a list of the apps that we want to delete the most,
Starting point is 00:34:28 and this is based off data, like people searching. How do I delete this app? What apps do I want to delete? Maybe F2. Evteza, you guys familiar? No. Well, it's because I'm an idiot, and I download it because my wife's like, you need to do something to this picture.
Starting point is 00:34:42 So I was like, what are I doing? I don't know how to edit it. And so she was like, just put a filter on it. It's not, I was just, I had a zit or something. I was like, how do I get this all? And so she's like, you should download one of those picture apps, Tessa. And I did, and then I hit, I'll pay $2.99 a month or something like an idiot. And so I need to delete it, but first I need to stop paying it.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Because I'm like, I should stop paying it. And then I forget, and then I get an email going, you've just been charged $2.99 from Apple. So if you delete it off your phone, you still pay the bill? Yeah, you have to go and actually. Unsubscribe. Yeah, you have to stop paying it, which I think I'm going to do as soon as this segment's over, except I'm going to forget, before we get it. to the end of the segment and not do it.
Starting point is 00:35:18 That's what I would say. Is that on the list? No, it's not on here. The top four, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, and then at number one, this is the number one app we want to delete, and it's my favorite, Instagram. Okay, so this list is apps we should delete. I don't want to delete them,
Starting point is 00:35:35 but I should delete them, but I'm not going to delete them. Yeah. That's what all four of those should be called. Yes. But the Instagram is kind of safe-ish. I don't go to the DMs often, but Instagram's pretty safe as Twitter is toxic as crap. I'm over there the most, though. A quarter of adults admit to only reading on vacation.
Starting point is 00:35:54 And they say that family gets in the way. If they do have time to read while they're home, if they have another hobby, they opt for that. And then people... Twitter for me. People say that they're embarrassed to be seen reading romance novels in public, although that's one of their favorite things to read. So they tend to try to go for something self-help.
Starting point is 00:36:15 or maybe a thriller murder book or something. But hey, try to find time to read. I think it'll help relax you. And then also on vacation, I saw that most people talk to strangers. They talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk way more than they do in their real life because there's no strings attached. They don't have to really commit to these types of conversation.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Why people do other stuff out on the road too. Well, that's not what it was about. It's about just talking. And it made me think of you, like, you're not a big talker off the mic. But like when you're like on vacation or around strangers, you let loose? No, I take vacations to not get around strangers. I go and try to be by myself for the most part.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I was looking at the book thing. I don't feel like reading on your phone counts, even if it's a book. For me, I need to have, like, have an iPad or a Kindle or whatever I'm going to read on. And maybe it's because the words are too small and I got to blow it up so big that's like 10 words a page on my phone. But I got three books going right now, which is annoying because they get crossed over in my mind. I'm reading Chuck Klosterman in the 90s, and I'm 39. percent through that. I'm reading the love prescription, which is this couple, and they do, they've done all these scientific studies with other couples to see what works, what doesn't,
Starting point is 00:37:24 things we should look out for, like to elevate things we should look out for so they don't elevate, that kind of thing. So it's like a science book about marriage. And then I read the four agreements about once a year. And I guess I just started it and then stopped. But it's very short, but I have three books going right now. And I can see on my phone, but I don't read on my phone. Because I'm so blind. I got to blow up the words. All right, what else? Carly Pierce loves to run, and she was saying what she listens to the most is 90s country, Beyonce, and techno stuff. So I didn't know your workout playlists lately, Bobby, you and Eddie. We don't really listen to music.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I guess we turn on like a playlist of like 90s alternative or Drake hip-hop. Yeah, or classic rock sometimes. Or just let it run. That's it. We don't really have a list of music. Mostly it's just us crying into each other's. That's the music. It burns. That's us.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I just didn't know if you had any recommendations. I listen to podcasts while I work out and love it. That's weird. You must not work out very hard then. It's so weird. There's no way you can work out hard. But if you're focused, you can't listen. I mean, you're focused on words.
Starting point is 00:38:28 You can't really work out hard. Our music doesn't matter. Oh, I can. Like we said, we didn't even hear our music because we're not paying attention. We're going so hard. You're over there listening to NPR focusing on every word. I lift three pound dumbbells and one and a half pounds on my ankles. Thanks, Schwarzenegger.
Starting point is 00:38:44 You need to relax. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. Tell me something good. I'm going to tell you an amazing story about 81-year-old Jerry Jurey. He was driving. And that's not the amazing part. That is pretty amazing, though.
Starting point is 00:39:05 He was leaving his home in California and going to see family in Nevada. And it was a three-hour drive. And he said, oh, there's a snowstorm coming. But I can stay ahead of it. About an hour into his drive. drive, uh-uh, snow over took him. He went off the road into like the little side ditch. All he had was a little fleece jacket, a blanket, some croissants, and he gets stranded.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Not one day. Not two, not three, not four, not five, six days. He is stranded and he has to turn the car on every once in a while to stay warm. They turn it off. Finally, he hears a helicopter above. And the helicopter of these is just a big boulder on the side of the road. It does look like that because they're showing a picture of it in the snow. It just looks like the top of his car, like a rock.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And they think, oh, they're just going to move that off the road. And then they see an arm waving out the window. And it's 81-year-old Jerry saying, hey, come get me! And the helicopter flies off, and Jerry's like, no, where are you going? They had to go refuel. They came back and they got Jerry. Can you imagine Jerry there with half of one croissant left? And they're flying off.
Starting point is 00:40:10 You're like, help. You think it's over? Back away. And you're like, no. You think it's over. over, but that's not what happened is at lunchbox. No, he ate snow and I forgot to say this. He did have one bath towel to wrap
Starting point is 00:40:22 around himself to keep warm. That was his blanket. I was his blanket. I was wondering, yeah, the water. I guess he ate the snow. Is this why maybe we should keep flares in our car? Um, I guess. I would go old. I would never use them or I'd forget what they were. Or I'd just think it was fun to use them at some other time. And that means you'd have to
Starting point is 00:40:38 get out of the car and get them and then. We should keep a lot of stuff on our car. Pocket knife. All the extra battery. TV. I don't do any of that. All right. Lunchbox, great story. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
