This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clivert Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits,

my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifers Show. This is a place for raw, unfills of conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.

So let's get to it. Listen to the. the Clifford show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. When a group of women discover

they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands. I vowed. I will be his last target. He is not going to get away with this. He's going to get what he deserves. We always say that trust your girlfriends. Listen to the Girlfriends, trust me, babe, on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I got you. I'm Agoode. My next guest, it's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar. of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hope everybody had a great holiday. Holy moly, I'm so happy to be back. I know maybe you guys aren't happy back at work. No, I mean, it's like first day of school. I love my job all the time. Morning, studio. Morning.

We are back. We are back and ready and motivated and inspired. We're disciplined, all those cool things, but we're happy to be here with you today. Let's go around the room. It's first day. First day back. And so I'm going to ask you a question.

Everybody answered this question here. So here we are, our first show back. I want you to name, and we'll get to resolutions later, something trivial that you'd like to change about yourself. But it can be stupid, but you really do want to change it, even if it's like dumb, right? Eddie, what are you going to change about yourself this year? Not something just the essence of who you are or something that's really going to do. What's going to change about you?

I want to change my belly. And I'm not saying like I'm going to work out or whatever, but I'm really going to focus on my belly. It's hanging over my belt. It's larger than I want it to be. And I just want to slim it down to where my pants don't fold over. I like that. And that's my goal, though.

I think I can do it too. Good job. Eddie's our video producer there, Dada 4. Lunchbox, something trivial that you'd like to change about you this year. Yeah, I want to be more flexible. because I like in life play twister or your body no see that's you can do it both ways in life and my body because I feel like when I get older I'm going to be in big trouble because I am so unflexible I have never stretched in my life like I go run five miles and I don't stretch I play soccer I don't stretch crazy and so it hurt exactly so eventually when I get older

that's going to be a problem right now I'm still young and so it's okay but I need to start working on it now and then also just be flexible in life. Oh, both? All flex all time. Yeah. So I'm going to be more flexible. You're very flexible in life because there's nothing to do. Exactly. But I want to be more flexible.

Exactly. Up next. Amy, everybody. Amy, let's go. Tell us, what's the trivial thing you change about you? Okay, so something that I know is not good to say to yourself, but I just can't break it. And this year, I really am going to make it my goal to cut out, oh, you're so stupid. Or, oh, why did I do that?

It's so dumb. You know, even in my head. I mean, because for one, if I stayed around my house, I know my house, I know my kids hear me. I don't want them to start saying that in their head because our subconscious takes that in and I just want to almost eliminate that word and just not say it about anything. So that way I don't say it about myself. And I've known this for years, but this year is going to be the year that I don't do it no matter what I do. Even if it's something silly like I stub my toe, oh, I'm so stupid. No, I don't do that. What if you hear your car in the parking garage?

No, I cannot say it. Oh, I'm so stupid. Oh, that poll that was already there. It's been there for five years are so stupid. No, I'm just going to see, well, what does this make possible? Right. You know? Amen. There it is. Amen. All right. All right. Ray, do you have a new year intro for me? If you don't, that's okay, because we were just talking about new stuff. Rime on the spot. All right, I got you. Go ahead. He's color blind and he's always on the grind. Oh, Bobby Bones. Did you freestyle? Oh, wow. Oh, he didn't. Okay. My trivial thing that I'm going to change about me is, so I'm very lucky that my hair grows really fast.

and have all my hair. Lucky as could be. Some guys, that doesn't happen. Andy. And I'm lucky that I don't have any gray hair in my head yet. But my, this starts to turn gray on my face a little bit. My sideburns, when it turns into facial hair, turns gray. And I always try to trim it off right at the gray spot.

You know what? I'm not going to focus on that. If my sideburn wants to be a little bit gray, I'll leave a little bit gray. Okay. Whoa. That's a big deal. That's a big step. It's trivial.

It's trivial. Embracing the gray. Embracing that maybe I'm getting older. Okay. It's a big step. Yeah, maybe. I've often felt that I was Peter Pan. Uh-huh.

But I'm just not going to, it's so dumb, I'm just going to focus on hitting that line. I'm like, ooh, I don't want to hit. Let me shave above that gray line so people still think I'm 28. But you know what? I'm letting it be. So gray is good. Nope, I don't like it still, but I'm just not going to worry about focus on just that right there. That's it's my trivial thing.

That's good, man. Happy New Year, everybody, glad you're back. You can still say Happy New Year. Like today or tomorrow, it should end. Oh, so just like the next few hours? Really? Yeah, you don't go like the 5th and 6th of January 1, Happy New Year. Oh, man. I just agree. I got a few days. No, I think so. Happy New Year, everybody.

All right. Let's get started with the show. We're glad. We're back. Hopefully you're glad we're back. Here we go. It's time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm in need of help. My boyfriend of two years has yet to propose. We are a blended family of five kids. We live together. when I brought up the idea of marriage, he always pushes it off. He says that I should need a piece of paper to feel commitment. The part I understand is he calls me the wife, but he doesn't put a ring on it and says,

let it happen when it happens. What should I do? I can't live without them, but I want to be married. Signed, waiting on a ring. That's tough because that's cow milk. You know, why buy the cow when you get the milk for free. Oh, yeah. I've heard that.

That's tough because it's not going to just happen unless, both of you are deliberate and purposeful and make it happen. Yeah, I don't understand the let's just let it happen. He doesn't want to get married. Yeah. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to love you. It doesn't mean he doesn't want to get married ever. But he doesn't want to get married right now for some reason

because his actions are that of someone who doesn't want to get married right now. And yep, you're living together. And yeah, you're sharing kids. But there is something legal and not permanent, but more permanent about being married. Because then you've always been married to that person even if you're not married anymore. Right? He just doesn't go away.

He just doesn't want to get married. My advice is just understand he doesn't want to get married right now and figure out why that is and then work. I don't want you to give him an ultimatum because it's just going to be unhealthy, especially if you're happy. You know, you'd be like, we'd marry me or I'm out of here. That's not where you are right now. Sounds like you're happy. Don't spoil that. But what I would encourage you to do is find out why he's with the mindset of if it happens, it happens.

Let it happen when it happens. Like, why is he in that mindset? Figure it out. Diagnose that symptom, and I think you can fix the problem. Now, he calls her the wife. I know. What can she do about that? Can she use that to be like, hey, I'm not your wife unless we're married.

And maybe that'll kind of spark something? I don't think the spark is going to be pleasurable if you do it like that. I think right now she sounds happy and I don't want her to not be happy. And if she's ever ultimatum time, you give it. But I don't think this is ultimatum time. I don't think you even do that. I think you can figure out why, like, deep down at his core, what's the fundamental reason he doesn't want to get married again? It's probably not her. It's probably something's happened

in the past. Yeah, sure. I'd figure out what that is and then start working on that, like making it feel safer in whatever area that is. And then he will want to get married. And then it'll happen. Look a therapy session. Oh, boy. You could, but I don't think I'd go right there immediately. Or five. That's my encouragement to you. He wants to be with you, obviously. He loves you. He does not want to get married. And he's not just wait. to see if it had. He knows he doesn't want to get married. Figure it out. Find out what that issue is and work on that.

Even covertly. And it'll happen, I promise you. Or refund. I don't know what my promise means in the situation. That's the mailbag. Thank you. Close it up. We got your email and we let it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mail bag. Yeah.

Here's a voicemail from Nicole in Michigan. Morning studio. This question is mainly for Eddie, my sister, who is already an amazing human for beating breast cancer, has decided that she wants to support foster families with respite care, and so she becomes certified. We want to support her in that by maybe having a few things at her home that would make children staying with her more comfortable. So I'm just curious if Eddie has any experience with this, and if he had any recommendations or things, for her that she can do or things that we can do to support her. Thank you for the email or for the voicemail.

Eddie fostered children. Now he's adopted those children. They are now his kids. So when people ask Eddie about this, that's the deal there. You were in the foster program. I was for three years. For three years. So let's do this on two levels.

Let's do the if people want to foster kids. What can they do to get started or what can they go learn to see if it's right for them? Okay. Yeah. In every town for the most part, you can Google. how to foster a child. They'll direct you in these great organizations that help you do that. Churches are a lot really involved in that stuff too.

So it's pretty easy. Just find one that you relate with or one that will help you get in touch with how to foster a kid. What's the hardest thing about it? Fostering. The hardest part really is just trying to be there for the child, but knowing that there's a chance that they're going to go back to their original home. That's probably the most challenging part. So just kind of balancing the love and the care for these kids and knowing that what you're doing is for them, not for you.

What's the best part about it? The best part is you're really helping a child. Like they're in need. They need you. They need love. They need support while whatever situation is going on around them is happening, the court system, their biological parents getting their stuff together. Whatever it is, you are there in that moment of need. They need you.

They need love. They need someplace to feel comfortable. And that's what you're there for. And finally, the big question that she was wondering, how, do you support somebody who is a foster parent? Yeah, there's so many different needs. I think when you have little children, I think diapers is a big one. There's just so many expenses, formula, things like that, that you don't really realize

that you're going to be spending a lot of time, you know, getting from groceries and things like that, but also food. Food is huge. Straight up food. Straight up food. I mean, you have a busy life. We went from having two biological children to having two foster kids at the same time, four boys at the same time is a lot going on.

So whenever someone would bring a meal over or order a pizza for us, we were just like, thank you so much because we had no time to do that. So it sounds like all the normal things, but we'd take for granted sometimes that we pay for the normal things because it's normal for our life. But when there are additions to it, it then costs a bunch more. That's right. It's not a spectacular thing, but it is very meaningful if it's food. If it's like you said, diapers. Yeah, just the simple things, really.

And then the fact that she wants to be a respite is really cool because I don't know what that is. It's just like, you know, if you need a babysit. or someone, you're going out of town for a couple of days, they will watch your kids for you. It's very important because the foster, you know, experience is really tough on a marriage. It's tough on a marriage, tough on a family. So having a respite, you know, available at any time you need them and take care of the kids is really big. And so I love that she's doing that.

Thank you for the voicemail. We hope that helped. And maybe you heard this and you've been thinking about fostering or helping a foster family. Maybe this will kick you in the pants to do it. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. make something good

Ryan Carney, he lives in Illinois, and he was dealing with his dad's brain cancer, and while they were going through all that, the dad lost his ability to speak, and it was very strange, and they didn't know how to deal with that, and then all of a sudden, one night the song Stand By Me came on,

and the one thing the dad could say was sing the song to Stand By Me. Like Benny King? Yeah, when the night? So he's like, this is crazy. So he started to learn how to play cello, so his dad would just kind of keep talking and singing songs because that was the only way to do it.

And he realized how important music was to healing his dad. So now what he does is he goes to retirement homes and he plays the cello for people because he realizes that it just makes them really happy and it makes them feel better. And here's him talking about why he does it. I get to help people trigger that chemistry in their heads through music.

It is the absolute greatest feeling in the world. You could close your eyes and just feel like you could flowed away. It's a sweet story, but I hear I'm playing piano. Don't tell me. What was that? Like a Disney song? Chopen.

Somewhere over the rainbow? Yeah, somewhere. That's it, Amy. Yeah, it's good Chopin lunchbox. But yes. Chopin. I did see a video that was super cool. Not this one, but something like it, where people that are suffering from older people

that suffer from dementia or even Alzheimer's, they will go to them and they'll talk to their kids or their grandkids and find out what music they really liked as a kid. and they can play those songs. And it's the closest thing to a, I don't know, this probably is the right term, but like a snap out of it. You can't because it's such a debilitating disease where they actually like remember,

it brings clarity to them because music does that. It hits a part of the brain and that feeling that happens when they hear that song is the same feeling then, and so they're able to connect the two. So really great story. You're not going to believe me, but when I was younger,

I thought I'd do music therapy for a living. I do believe you because you do music. Yeah, but then I realize, like, I'm not smart enough for that. You do music and you're a good guy. Yeah. Maybe you aren't smart enough for. I don't know. Maybe you weren't.

I don't know. Hey, great story. You're smart. Eddie, you're smart. Thanks, man. Thank you. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

New Year, New Year, everybody? Yeah, new year, new me. For sure. That's right. What are we doing? What are we saying is our goal this year? What's your word? Everybody's got a different strategy, how they take on a new year.

I'd like to hear what it is. What is your resolution if that's where you want to go? I'm going to you. Trying is cool. Okay. Because I'm going to try to try some things this year. Meaning, this is what I'm interpreting, you're going to do things badly. Yeah.

Love it. And that's okay. And you got to do things badly sometimes to do things middley than to do things good. Yeah. That is being vulnerable. That's taking a risk. And it's also knowing you can't get great at something unless you spend some time investing in yourself doing it and that comes a lot of struggle.

Good for you. I love it. That's a good one. You're trying. What was it again? Trying is cool. Trying is cool. It is cool.

It is cool. It is. Try. I try all time. It doesn't work out. But you never hear about those, right? People should, and I wrote my second book, Fail Until You Don't, mostly on that premise that if you go and you bomb out on something and you're just like, I'm embarrassed.

And nobody else even knows or they're so self-absorbed. They don't notice or care. I mean, think about the last time you really mess something up. You know it. But think about the last time you saw somebody mess up a speaking deal or fail at something. I'm thinking about it. You've already forgotten about it. Oh, yeah. So just know you have the freedom that nobody's going to remember you messing up. So go and do it. Go fail miserably. And then if you're like, wow, I really think I could do better and I could achieve that because I've learned a lot, keep doing it.

And if not, move on without the fear of people going, oh, that's all Eddie. You know, he failed. He started a taco stand. He failed. I didn't, by the way, though. You didn't, by the way. You didn't, but you probably would. Yes. You started and fail. That's right. Yeah. And that's okay. Everyone won't forget about it. Get it, Amy. What, like, what are you going to try at? Well, I told you all, you know, last year when I was taking acting lessons that a goal was to audition for things, which I, you know, it's not going to happen right here at the first of the year. So, being embarrassed, talking about your desire or your dreams. Don't be embarrassed.

I feel you being embarrassed. Don't be embarrassed. Okay. You should just say it. Okay. So my acting coach is we're going to actually do some taping, which we've never done, where I film myself. and then we'll see about opportunities to maybe audition for something specifically and send that tape off. Let's go.

Okay, great. Be proud that you are attempting. Because most people don't have the courage to even attempt. So no more hesitancy about talking about it because you're embarrassed about what we're going to react to. Okay? We're still going to make fun of you, but that's what we do on this show just generally. Yeah. Because you make fun like your people.

Yeah, your friends. So we're going to have a good time with it, but just know in our hearts, everybody except for lunchbox is rooting for you. Oh, yeah. I know, but that's just because he's an actor too, I think. He's never had a role. I have. Where? Friday night light.

You're an extra and they took you out. No, no, I was still in it. No, they ripped your... They dubbed over my voice. Bad out of hell. I've had a couple roles. But bad out of hell, what did they do with your voice? They silenced it.

Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. They take my lines away. I like you. I'm rooting for you, too. You're just mean to her about that. So, you know.

That's okay. She was mean to me. You're going to know. Your goal resolution for the year. Become a millionaire. Okay. You know what? That's doable. Why do you laugh? I didn't laugh at all.

You said, don't mean to her. And the first thing I said was become a millionaire and she scoffed. You're going to do that this year though. You're going to do that this year. It was funny for you to say that. I'll let it too. I wasn't expecting it. Are you close to being a millionaire?

No. Okay, right. And so do you have a plan? Not business. Right. So let's say you started a great business. Yeah. You still this year, it's not going to happen this year.

You don't know that. You're right. You could get bought out. But no, still you have to build it to a point. But hopefully you get one of those businesses that rockets, like, boom. Like, what do you call? Usually it takes more than a year even then. Sky rockets.

Sky rockets. I love it. Hey, set your dreams high? Yeah. I mean, what if your goals are the stars and you end up in the cloud, that's still a win, baby? Yeah. What if I, you know, have a business opportunity to invest in something? And all of a sudden, it just like hot cake.

You still won't get it back in a year. Oh, like what if I get 20% for $10,000. Okay, I don't know. You know what? Do you have $10,000 to give? I can take a loan. Okay. Good for you. Your goal is to become a millionaire. This year. This year. 2023, I joined the Millionaires Club. Like when they put out the, you know, oh, they don't do that.

Millionaires. They do a billionaires? They don't do a millionaires. Do we need to define what makes you a millionaire? Does it mean you have a million dollars in your pocket? In your pocket? You're going to withdraw it all? But what if you spend some and you have 900? If I become a millionaire, I am taking it all out of the bank and taking a picture of it on the bedroom floor. So let me ask this. Are you a millionaire if you have a million bucks in assets, including your house, your car? Well, I don't think the ultimate is worth a million. Okay, but all added up. Or is it cash?

Cash. You have to have a million bucks in cash. Right? I think you could claim it if you claim your house too. No, I think I got to go cash. Okay, good for you. Hey, I'm a, I'm a, yeah, because I don't own my house. Like, I can't.

Like, I owe money. But you have some equity, though. You own your house. No, I don't. No, I do not. He's mad at you. Hey, wow. You do.

Like, if I stop paying today, guess what? I don't own it. Well, that's true. So I do not own that sucker. You have equity. I own the ultima, no doubt. Eddie, what's your goal? What's your dream for 2020?

Hear me out. And Morgan gave me this idea. Because I don't really think of myself ever. So I'm going to buy myself more things. So Morgan was like, if you can buy whatever, what would you buy? And so I'm like, I don't really buy anything. The only thing I pay for is my golf or if I get like beer or wine from the grocery store. That's it.

Stuff you buy for yourself. Those two things. So if I want a boat... One of them's like food. I'm going to go buy a boat. So your goal is to buy a boat this year? No. But if I want to, I will.

You know what I mean? So his goal is to be more selfish. So like, if I'm at the store and I see shoes, I always be like, no, I don't need shoes. I'm not buying those. But this year, if I like shoes, I'm going to be like, those are mine. I'll buy them. Can ask you a question? I like this.

This is great financial planning. A personal question about this. What's up? What I would deduce? Love this. is that you don't get the shoes because you go, I like the shoes, but based on our budget with four kids. Yeah, that's what I said last year. But I can't get the shoes because of the bank.

Yeah, but screw the bank account this year. It's not just a personal thing on you just being so selfless. It's probably a decision based on financials. Bobby, he never thinks of it. I don't, man. I don't know, but I'm not talking about the shoes. So are you just saying you've always had the money to buy the shoes and you choose not to? Oh, I got money to buy shoes.

I'm just like, I have four kids. They want a lot of stuff. Let's focus on them. So I always say, no, no, no, I don't need the shoes. It's fine. I'm not going to get them. This year, though, I'm going to buy the shoes. Do you want shoes or a boat?

Both. Oh. But will your kids have to sacrifice? Well, they have shoes. Hey, we'll figure that out when I buy the boat. You know what I mean? I just mean... Is your goal to buy a boat?

Let's just say that's my goal. Let's go. Let's buy a boat. Then I got a vote, kind of. So, yeah, so that means we're going to split it. No. Our wives already talked about it. I'm not splitting anything with you.

What are you talking about? Dude, if we had a boat, that would be the best year ever. So this just turned into... Yes, I got roped into this buying half a boat. This turned into Bobby's going to buy a boat and I'll, you know... That's what it would be in the end. I buy the whole boat. New Year and you us, bud.

Okay, your goal is to be more selfish. A little bit more selfish. Okay. Let's get that boat. I like it. We'll come back in a minute and we'll get to me, Ray Mundo. Morgan. I just have to stop on that one.

Think about it, though. No, I did. That's why I have to stop. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th.

I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come, look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. and he's like just give it a shot

he goes but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore it's okay to quit if you saw it written down it would not be an inspiration it would not be on a calendar of you know the cat just hang in there

yeah it would not be right it wouldn't be that there's a lot of luck yeah listen to thanks dad on the iHeart radio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast Last segment, Amy said her resolution was to try stuff, even if she's not good at it. Like to make herself more vulnerable, to really reach, and it's okay if she doesn't get it as long as she tries. I love that. That's how you make things happen.

Fail until you don't. Thank you. You should write that book. Lunchbox, your goal was to become a millionaire. Yes. And this year, though. This year. And you're very close? No, not even close. Okay, cool. Eddie, your goal was to buy more stuff for myself.

Your resolution is like a boat. Be selfish and buy a boat. Okay. Jeez, man. Morgan, what is your resolution, your goal? What are you doing here? So, you know how people do the year of yes? I'm going to do the year of doing.

Like, if somebody asked me to go on a trip, I'm going to go on the trip. If somebody asked me to go out on a weeknight, I'm going to go out. I took all of 2022 to relax and, like, focus. So next year, I'm going to just do everything. Not all yeses because, you know, I still have to work. I have to make sure I'm still a good person. You're going to make an effort to make your stuff. self-available and to experience things that maybe you wouldn't have before.

Yes. You're not going to make as many excuses to not go experience things. Yes. And sometimes I'm a little too logical, so I'm going to be a little pull back on that logic and kind of just have some fun. I like it. Ray Mundo, our audio producer, what you think there, buddy? Yeah, so mine is more outdoors, less apartment floors.

Just because I go back to my roots, I mean, my parents at times would just kick us outside. I wouldn't be inside an entire Saturday. Now I find myself, I'll be like, oh. Really, Beazer, it was sunny today? I had no idea. I wasn't even outside. I'll go days without even going outside. Because we park in a garage. I go to my apartment. It's covered. Boom. Inside, I'm never outside. There's a great benefit in walking places, throwing a football, doing stuff outdoors. So that's it. I like that Ray goes Johnny Cocker on everything. If the glove don't fit, you must have quit. Yeah, he rhymes at all. Go outdoors. Don't eat on the floor. What was it again?

Outdoor, more outdoors, less apartment floors. I like it. Good. Mike D. Our head writer writes all the games. Mr. I mean, he's my backbone. Mike, what do you have? I'm trying to make a new friend this year. Like, outside of people. I'm not good enough. I get offended. Oh, Mike. I just find that I have some interest that none of you guys are into. I like going to punk shows. I like going to watch horror movies. I would like to have somebody else that also enjoys those things.

That kind of person's like a serial killer. It's not. Stasheera. You can hang with her. The dark web. That's where you find those. That is where you find it. This is what I'm talking about. Yeah, you go to those places. Yeah. Okay, I like it. Find a new friend.

Yeah. One? Just one. Just one. How do you plan to find a... Because it's hard as an adult. Yeah, I've tried that BFF Bumble before, but that felt weird. Are you kidding me? It does. It is weird. It feels like you're trying to date a guy. I was like, I like this guy. Am I trying to go on a day with him?

Bones, you've done this too? BFF Bumble? Yeah. No, but I was interested in checking it out, but I felt like two, there were dudes on there to date. they were using it to date and I was like no no no I'm trying to be your friend so I didn't really but I did because I have trouble making friends and have always have

so yeah I don't know what what do you do if you're into like weird stuff like you what do you do to go meet other weird people I guess at a concert strike up a conversation yeah that's tough maybe we just it's so loud do a segment and make Mike a friend that be nice but people don't listen to punk and do

they don't listen to our show you don't know that maybe there's someone out there all right Mike good luck I'm making a friend oh here's mine my goal, my resolution this year is to actually occasionally be bored. Because I run so tight all the time, schedule, how much can I get in? I am not able to cultivate anything creative if I am always pressed. It's hard for me to be always pressed creatively too.

Like I'm schedule, time, okay, I got to get this done. And I can do it and I can function at a pretty high level. But if I'm bored, man, that's one of the good stuff. That's one of the stuff that gets me in trouble, which is the best. to hear happens. Yeah. So my goal is to be bored a little bit this year. Because I'm never bored because I always

am like, God, do the next thing, and I got so much planned. So how are you going to do that? You're going to clear your schedule up a little more? I am and I'm going to make sure that nobody puts anything in these spots. He calendar blocks his boredom. Yes. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly it. I have to, because if I don't, it'll never happen. So is it like from four to five, bored?

Be bored. Yeah. And does that mean we can't play mad and we can't do anything? You just have to sit there and stare at It's me hanging out with really nothing to do. Okay. Getting burned out on the Madden, the books, the whatever I do, that's my leisure. I need to get burnt out on that. Okay. So my goal is to be bored.

Last year my goal was to play golf. And you did that? I did. We did a lot. Because I was like, I have to find, even the doctor's like, yo, you're going to pop. So that's the deal. Okay. Are you worried about getting in trouble?

No, I told my wife. So when you, yeah, don't commit crimes, man, because when people get bored. No, because you said when you're bored, that's when you get in trouble. Oh, I get in trouble on the show and I go bosses. I think of these crazy ideas. We rob stores. That's where my brain is going. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's my best creative self. So, my, might as to be bored. All right. Happy New Year, everybody, from the Bobby Bone Show. It's a new wrinkle here where my buddy ordered something off the internet, and it came to him, and it was broken. And he said, like, to return this and get another one. And they did. We've talked about this before.

They were like, we can just send you another one. but can we get with you on FaceTime or Skype? And so they wanted to see that the product was broken so he didn't have two of them. Wow, that's crazy. I don't know they could do that. Well, they can't force you to do it, but, and you're not going to break it to prove it to them.

Because then you're still just getting one. Exactly. Unless you could do some, I don't know, but they were like, we want to see you, we want to see it. Is there any chance we can see it so we can send you another one? I'd never heard of that before. And he did it. And it was really broken, so they sent him another one.

And then I think he thinks he can fix the other one, though. So he still, like, cheated him. Yeah, well, they win. Let's be ready, everybody. They're figuring us out. Here's Amy's pile of stories. New Year. That means a lot of people are trying to figure out how they want to live, who they want to be.

And half of Americans want to improve their professional life. So instead of a New Year's resolution, they're making professional resolutions this year, trying to find a new job or working hard to get a promotion. Yeah, I mean, I think we could always do that. problem with resolutions, and we're talking about them today, big, big, big ones is they actually won't happen. I encourage you to make little, little, little ones. Because you can actually do that. And then once you're successful of that, you're like, oh, I can make little changes. And then a few little changes turn into medium changes. It's all about discipline. Motivation is cool. Discipline is

awesome. We get motivated all the time. Can we stay disciplined? That's where it is. So you would say with people that have this professional resolution thing happening this year to just little things at a time towards their career? I would say don't try to do it just because it's the new year. If you really feel this way, sit in it a month and then make a decision based on how your reality is that's not screaming. Okay, you've got to change something to get better because of the date on the calendar. You'll make better decisions and you won't quit if you're doing it for a reason that's about you, not about what people do because of a holiday. But make little, little changes. but still make some sort of resolution.

Make a little change and then do it and get it. And you should be able to figure out like three weeks. If you can't do it in three weeks, don't even do it because you ain't going to do it. You're like, I'm going to lose weight. Okay, three pounds. And I promise you, if you do that three pounds good, five's right around the corner. Yeah. Do five, eight to ten's coming up soon.

You may regress a little bit, but still you're down six. Easier to go back to ten. So good luck, everybody. I like it. I'm not being a Debbie Downer. I'm being a real list, but I think you can actually change your life if you have motivation. but then you must have discipline. Motivation's fine, but discipline is where it's at.

Go ahead. I have some steps towards giving someone a compliment that they'll actually appreciate. So you can take notes next time you're going to compliment someone. Okay. First of all, use their name. See, I gave her a compliment. She's good to give it steps. Oh, wow.

I didn't accept to that. Yeah. Thank you, thank you. Amy. Yeah. Amy. Use their name. It seems basic, but when you use someone's name in a compliment,

it's a signal that it's tailored for them instead of just blurting it out. make your compliment specific. Like instead of saying, oh, you look nice today, say, oh, wow. Your butt looks great in those pants. Oh, that's specific. That's what I said to Eddie, but he didn't like that. It was too specific. That's what not to do, especially work.

But that color looks great on you. You should wear that more often. Yeah, I would stay away at work, though, from talking about anything physical. Yeah. HR might have a talk. Are what else? And then don't praise and run. When you give a compliment, stick around and maybe even ask a follow-up question.

Did you like that compliment? Listen to the answer. That's the question. Hey, you did great today. Did you like when I said that? Yeah. Well, this shows the person that you're sincere. But, I mean, obviously, sometimes if you're passing in the hall, you may just have to, you know, praise and run.

Nice fun, no pants. Keep walking. Okay. Okay. I have some things about George Strait that you might not know. Okay. He holds the record for the most CMA awards in the history of country music. Wow.

He has 83 nominations. What? And 23 wins. Wow. Three of those wins are entertainer of the year. Dang. He's not a grandel opera member. I can't be here enough to go.

That's why. Yeah. You have to go a lot. He lives in Texas and you have to perform there like 12 times a year. He's an avid NBA watcher. Loves the Spurs. His ace in the whole band is the only band that's ever backed him. And this is what we have in common.

He has a degree in agriculture. Oh, I thought he's awesome. I mean, oh, are you telling me a Muslim again? Oh, wow. And he's your name. Tell me more. No, I'm good. No, he went away.

I ran. I, Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. Come on! It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good.

Colleen Sands went to UNC Greensboro where she became a nurse afterwards, and she started working at Wake Forest in the cancer department. And after about 10 years, she's like, man, I need to do something to celebrate my career in nursing. So she started training for an Iron Man. And she's like, you know what? Since it's my 10-year anniversary, I'll do an Iron Man and I'll raise $10,000 for the cancer unit. well she put up the thing online raised over $12,000 and ran the Iron Man. And then she did the Iron Man?

Yeah. That's great. That's a lot. That's the one with the three. Yeah. Swim bike run. Yeah, and it's more than a triathlon. So I've done a triathlon.

I'm going to talk week first before I get to real man stuff, real woman stuff. Real woman, Colleen Sand. Real person stuff. I did a triathlon, which you start off and you swim a mile. So I swam a mile. Had a panic attack. Terrible. Finished it, but I was like, I never swam in open water before I've trained.

pool only. And people will be kicking you right. And the face, kick my goggles off my face. Oh, because you're all swimming in a big, like, school. Try to fistfight somebody, but couldn't see him. So who knew who I was fighting? Okay. So I got out of that, and then I went and I ran um, no, I biked 25 miles. So I got on a bike and I rode for 25 miles. And then I ran six miles. And then you finish and you're like, dang, I just did

the most crazy thing ever. Okay, you think until you hear about the Iron Man, which the Iron Man, you swim 2.4 miles. Oh, man. Where I did one. Yeah. And then. And then, you bike. When where I bike 25, they bike 112. Oh, my goodness.

And then where I did a six-mile run, they do a marathon, 26.2 miles. Crazy. And she did that. How do you have the energy to do that? How do you train? That's all of it. And that's why they do the running at the end, right?

Because, I mean, you're always not going to just swimming first so you don't drown and die. And you're not going to be on a bike when you're exhausted to you can wreck that. I'd rather be on a bike. I think I'd be on a bike at the end, I think. Oh, really? I'd rather be on a bike again. I just coast.

Just let the wind. I just go to top of a hill and coast. Downhill. That's an awesome story. Good job to her. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hope you guys had an awesome holiday. We're back. We're going to our first morning corny of 2023. The goal is for every corny in this year to make us laugh out loud. Every single one. No pressure. Let's go to a new year, a new batch of corny's and just a better life. What do you say? Yeah. Let's go with the morning corny.

The Morning Corny. What New Year's resolution should a basketball player never make? What New Year's resolution should a basketball player never make? To travel more. I like it. That was the morning corny. You don't like knock-knock jokes, do you? That's funny.

It's hard for that to be funny. That was a good one. You're like taking their credit. Yeah, that was good. Just move on, Amy. Move on. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I just, because I was going to go with a knock-knock, but.

Okay, we hit it, but you can spoil the record. You're 1-0 right now. Okay, I'll save it for tomorrow. Okay, okay. Amy, one and no on the season. We love to hear it. We're back. I'm excited.

I'm always excited to come back to work after time off for a couple reasons. One, I'm lucky that I have a job that I love and get to work with my friends. Two, I'm just, I don't know, I'm tired of holidays. It's tiring, right? It's awesome and you're excited, and then you're just like, oh, man. It's exhausting. So, but just so happy to be back. We've been off for a couple weeks.

And I have some notes. I just took a lot of notes during vacation. Full pages of them of things happening to me just so I wouldn't forget. And I just wrote things. So we'll go through them during the show. Number one, random. Oh, where? Like random?

Yes, sort of. Walmart? No, no, no. So we went down to Orlando to watch Oklahoma and Florida State play in the cheese bowl. Got it. Because Caitlin's a massive Oklahoma fan. That's where she's from.

It's where she grew up. And so we go down and we're walking up in the top area. And there's Toby Keith just standing in like a random Florida state box. And I'm like, well, I kind of know Toby. He doesn't live here so I don't see him a whole lot. But Eddie and I've opened for Toby before. And also that he's out and he's been battling cancer. And I think, well, if Toby's at a football game, things must be going all right.

So I just go and say hi. and we talked for a second, talked to his wife, I think. She was super cool, whomever that was. I just didn't want to bother so I didn't get too much into the business. But he looked and seemed healthy. Oh, good.

Good. Curious about that. That's great news. So ran into Toby Keith and was like, well, I'll be dang. Yeah, no, I met his wife. That's who that is. Confirmed.

They're married in 1984. She was awesome. I mean, she starred that show. It's like, if you meet my wife and I, she'd star that show. She's funnier. She has got a bigger, like, personal personality. I'm just quiet and kind of,

but Trisha's her name. Same thing. She's awesome. But saw them up there. What are you going to say? Well, I just shout out in 1984. Like that's not really heard of in the artist world. The long marriage, that's true. Also, I wrote down, don't take liberties with the national anthem. Because I was at the Cheez-Zit bowl. Oh, by the way, sorry, Ray put some work into this. Bobby's Notes from the Break. Thank you. Whomever was singing the National Anthem.

did a wonderful job. Vocally, they had it. And I wrote this note because they were adding stuff on. They would be like, O say, can you see? Then you'd hear them go, O'Say, can you see?

What? By the don's, like one singer? Like, they were adding extra background vocals to it. Huh. Themselves. Yeah, yeah, and you couldn't really sing along. And also, you don't really need to add anything

to that song. It's hard enough. It's not just hard. We love it and appreciate it and respect it for what it is exactly. No liberties. No liberties to the national anthem. By the dawn's early light, early light. And about the third time you're going, why are they doing?

I know it's their big break. Maybe they're on TV. They're singing in Orlando and that big, it was packed. Never seen a ball game so packed. It wasn't like a national championship game. What so proudly we hail? Because we hail. We hail.

And so I just wrote No Liberties with the National Anthem and I stand by it. More thoughts on the game. At Florida State, they have something called the Tomahawk Chop. They put their hand up like a shark fin. Yeah. It's like a Tomahawk and they go,

ooh, whoa, whoa. I've never been there when they do it fully. And this game was in Orlando and they're from Tallahassee, so the ball game was super close. It's legit. The Tomahawk chop in person is legit. And I wasn't even at Florida State Stadium.

I was just like right down the road. road. So it wasn't like a home home, but it's close to home. All you Florida State folks out there that listen to us in Tallahassee, I know we're on there, like respect because that's super cool. So do you participate in it? Yeah, did you start chopping? No, no, no, no. I'm an Arkansas fan. I know, but I just, in the moment. No, and also, I was with Caitlin and she's Oklahoma. Yeah. So I didn't do that either, but we were invited into a Florida State suite. So the people were with were Florida State fans and they were dressed in Florida State. but you want to be respectful of people that invite you somewhere.

So we went neutral. Even though Caitlin was Oklahoma, like the president of the school was in there. So you can root and she wasn't like not rooting, but you don't wear opposite team colors when someone is inviting you into their house, which is kind of what that was. And someone who's never giving me crap going, you wear what you want to wear. No, you don't.

Or you don't get invited anymore. It's really nice and kind of them to invite us to do that. And so we wore black. That makes sense. Yeah. and we went on the sideline and everybody cheered and I didn't care that much. I was rooting for Oklahoma a little more

because I live with that Oklahomaness but it was a really cool game and we stood on the sidelines and it's cool. So who won? Florida State won at the end. It was a really good game. Okay, I was no idea. But I was doing Tomahawk chop accidentally.

Ah, see? I knew it. It was just, uh-huh, I'd do that. But there were a couple other things that you don't want to do but you end up doing, for example, after I leave something that's University of Texas. And I love Austin. It's not my place. I spent my adult early life there in mid.

It's my favorite city. And so I'm not a Longhorn fan, though. But I would go to the games and I would leave going, yeah, it's a Texas. I'm like, why am I doing that? And then also, if you do anything, Tennessee Vol, and you don't come, Oh, Rocket Hub, Rocket Up, and you're like,

Ah, stop. the Alabama fight song, same thing. So shout out to all you catchy enemies that have great songs. That they wrote a long time ago. Man, you guys were doing it back in like 1812 right in that. Those are some bops for 1812. So that all happened.

I did watch George and Tammy all but one episode because I guess they're at the finale now that comes out Sunday. Okay. Now, here's the thing about George and Tammy. We did commercials for it, but in the commercial I never said I watched it, there's a difference in me going an endorsement

or voicing something. The endorsement, if I'm really experiencing it and sharing that, I love it and like it, that's actually called an endorsement where I'm like, it's excellent, enjoyed it, you got. But if I'm like, hey, it exists here and you can find it here, there's a slight difference, at least to me, because I'm not going to tell you something's good if it ain't. And so we were just watching shows, we watched a lot of shows. Weather was terrible during the break. So we found ourselves just going show to show to show. And we watched George and Tammy on Showtime. So we added it on to YouTube TV.

and it's George Jones and Tammy Wynette and it's really good I think to get into it though you have to want to know more about them or be a bit of a country music fan you're not going to stumble upon it and be extremely interested

unless somebody forces you to watch like two episodes but I am super interested and I knew most of it but it's good Jessica Chastain is Tammy Wynette she's so good at any character she takes on and I really wanted to be like yeah

I do consider me myself like a historian of country music. I pride myself when they do documentaries on people from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and even 90s, they call me and go, do you feel like you're well-versed enough in Charlie Pride and George Jones? And I am. At least I feel like I am. I've always studied why we are what we are today. Because everything's cyclical, what comes and goes, I love country music, the history of it. My grandmother got me to the Grand Ole Opry back in the day. So, it's like, all right, let's get into it. And he, I mean, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he, he's, he's, he, he was a nightmare.

George Jones was. And I knew he was and I've talked to people. And I'll get to a point with this. And I'll talk to people here now that knew him because he died right when we moved here. Yeah. So people in town that I know had relationships with him. And he definitely had better years

than what's featured here. And even he, I mean, it was really bad. But it's really good. Oh, I'll watch it. She's so good. Jessica Chastain in this. And the guy who plays George Jones, he was in that show.

He's that nine perfect strangers, right? Yes. I like that guy. His vocal effect sounds just like George Jones when he sings. So we were watching it. There's one episode left because it hasn't come out yet. But we watched it all and it's rough, man. You'd like the show because you just feel like you're learning something too.

Yeah, sounds good. Yeah, George and Tammy on, this is not a commercial. I wish I'd have gotten paid to do this. I just got paid to voice that. But it's good. So it's on Showtime if you have Showtime. But what stinks about that is you have to, buy Showtime. It's not on

any of the other apps. That's like a whole other streaming service now. Well, yeah. And it doesn't cost, I don't think what another, I don't know. It's an add on. I added it on. It's stupid. The only other show I watch is Yellow Jackets on Showtime. Because what else is what I watch on Showtime. And so I stopped after Yellow Jacket

stopped because you can just do your monthly thing through your app store. And I was like, I got to go and buy it again. But it's good. That show's really good. Mike, what's that actor's name? Michael Michael Shannon. He's one of my new favorite. actors. Yeah, dude, he's awesome. He's awesome. I had no idea. He's awesome. Okay, well, that's just a, that's a couple right there from my notes. And that was Bobby's notes from the break.

I got a lot, though. I can tell. You're still looking at your phone. Man, I can scroll through all these notes. There are some good ones, too. Somebody on the show message me. And then they were like, it was the worst Christmas ever. All this stuff happened. It was the worst. You know what? More than one person did that. It's a brutal holiday for folks. Just because Well, we'll get to it coming up in a few minutes. It's funny now because everybody's good. But just crazy. Also, Eddie and Amy saw the same celebrity and didn't know you did, right?

No. You guys didn't talk about it? It's a celebrity that if I saw them to, I'd go like, is that even real life? So we'll get to that. And the Bobby feud coming up next, the most common New Year's resolutions. Think about that. Let me roll the dice. The person who will go first will be one.

That'll be Amy. Oh, okay. Amy, you'll go first. All right, next. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.

And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care.

So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Wodam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and The Big Money Players, network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo. Woo.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day. And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through. And I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved.

And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. for the Bobby feud. That's right. The question is the most common 2023 New Year's resolutions. 2000 Bobby Boncho

listeners were asked. What's your resolution for 2020? Can you name the top ten answers? Amy, you're up. Okay. Work out more. Show me. Exercise.

Work out. Number one answer. One point for Amy. That is exercise or lose weight. Okay. Well, I mean, lose weight's in there. So I don't know, but you could still want to eat better. It may not have anything to do with weight loss.

Bobby's Big. Stories. Amy, how much, and when did you hear about the football player last night? Oh, I heard about the football player this morning. Okay. So I was watching the game last night. It was a big game. It was Buffalo and Cincinnati, both teams, going into the playoffs, jockey in for position

in the playoffs. And so I'm watching the game, and I'm also working a little bit. And as a player goes down, but people get injured all the time. and they cut to commercial and they come back and they carry the guy off and the crowd claps or if it's real bad they drive a little card out and they get them and hopefully you wait for they give their thumbs up like I'm okay it looks bad but I'm okay that's kind of what you expect I've never seen an ambulance drive on the field before ever an NFL game on TV and so what happened was they threw a ball to T. Higgins who's a wide receiver

it just looked like a normal play in that it wasn't like one of these hits where he goes boom you're like oh golly he took his hat off it wasn't it wasn't like that it was a tackle but you see demar hamlin take him down it's almost like if i'm the receiver and i go on under your chin and you kind of pull me tackle me that way like i'm coming out you take me down yeah you see him make the tackle he gets up takes a couple steps and then boom collapses and so what we didn't see because they kind of blocked it and they make sure they didn't show it once the ambulance comes out there they spent 10 minutes giving him CPR on the field and the players are crying I've never seen anything like it in all my lifetime of watching live sports well because it wasn't like an injury

from the tackle he went cardiac arrest but from the tackle oh okay I didn't know if that was a like some sort you know sometimes it possibly could have been but it's from the tackle okay because it happened and then he got up and then collapsed again okay so the camera's on nobody really knows what to do. They go to commercial and stuff because how many times can the announcers go, oh, it looks bad. We don't know what's happening. Ten minutes they gave him CPR on the field. Players are crying. There was a thing where it's like, well, they're going to, they said they have five minutes to warm up. They're going to get back to the game. And then the coaches went across the field. They're like, now we're not playing. You can't make us play. And so they went in the locker

room. And they didn't update a lot through the night. But what we have is Buffalo Bill safety to more Hamlin's in critical condition. After collapsing on the field in the first quarter of last night's game against the Bengals, the game was postponed. It was just called, which was the right move. There's no word on when they're going to start the game back or if they're going to start the game back. But more importantly, there's really no word as of, we read this right now, on his condition.

They did say cardiac arrest. They did say his vitals last night were back to normal vitals, but they had to put a tube in his throat and he's in critical condition. A lot of fans from both sides are outside the hospital. It's a really sad situation. And there's a lot of sadness everywhere. And we talk about the news a lot, and there's some stuff we talk about, and we were very sensitive to it. We feel that some were desensitized to it because it happens all over.

But this was a weird one. Because it's never happened, I just felt terribly sad. His mom was there, family was there. They waited to get them in the ambulance. It's just a wild situation. How old is he? 24? Yeah, second year in the league.

Yeah. So that's what I was wondering about it would this, would you, would it have happened even if he wasn't playing? No, I don't think so. You don't? Okay. Maybe at some point, but it happened directly because of this. Whatever, this happened and triggered whatever that was. That just always freaks me out about our organs.

We don't know what's like really happening. It's a hardcore hit. I mean, it was, I mean, you're talking about great athletes slamming into each other. And people are going, well, why are people getting injured so much now? Well, because everybody's getting bigger and faster and stronger. And then when you're bigger and faster and stronger and you keep slamming in each other, those slams get to be harder and harder. That makes sense.

So, aside from that talk, it's just like you're just pulling for him to not play football again, to live. His charity, which he did a toy drive, and he was like looking to raise like 20,000 bucks or so. People found it online. It's made like a million bucks now. Oh, that's awesome. It was like $8,000 or something when I saw it right when people started to catch on. And as of early this morning, because it may be more than that, it was over a million bucks. Wow.

So pulling for tomorrow Hamlin. Really sad story. I thought the announcers last night did a great job of handling that because there is no book on. This is what happens when you have to postpone a game because somebody might have died on the field. That's that. Over to some good news, the North Carolina woman went out for a biscuit. During the break, ended up winning $700,000 in lottery. She purchased a biscuit along with a $10 triple seven lottery ticket.

When she arrived at home, she discovered she'd won $700,000. Oh man. We going to commercial now? We are not. I got to go get a biscuit. Barbara Walters, legendary news anchor, died at 93 years old. I didn't realize she was that old.

I didn't either. Me neither. And it's sad when somebody dies obviously. But when they're like in their 90s, wow, it's at 3.4 million in the toy drive right now. Wow, that's awesome. When they're in their 90s, you're also like, good job. Yeah, she made it to 93.

Yeah. It's awesome. So she began her national broadcast career in 1961 as a reporter. She really, like, kicked open doors for women in general and in media. Like, big pioneer, did a lot of things that only men were doing. Rest in peace to Barbara Walters. One of our most common dreams is a person's teeth falling out. This is from the Committee of Sleep by Deidre Barrett.

According to dream experts, if you're having this dream, it's not just by chance. You may be preoccupied with how others are perceiving you or how you view yourself, and especially more so at this time. it may also be related to your eating routine. So there's a lot of maize. And also everybody cares a little bit about how they're viewed. Even if you're not super sensitive to it. Like, I don't know.

Everybody cares a little bit in some way. But that's apparently if your teeth fall out. And I've had that a couple times. You've dream that for? I've heard it can also be stress. It can be anything. You can just say whatever you want. Nobody can prove it.

Literally. Literally. It's like saying you died and came back to live. You can't prove it. You can't prove if I did or didn't. Yeah. I just talk to your uncle. In heaven?

Yeah. Prove it didn't. It's just a lot of that stuff you can't prove. So, but that's what it says. The only dream that I've had a whole lot of my life is running from a witch. Whoa. That's weird. That one, like running, always being chased by a witch.

Oh, no, let me Google that one. And then not being able to fly, but being able to bounce for long. It's like, it's like a jump. I just like, ah, but then I have to come back down and brace and jump again and float for a long time. I have that one more than anything, that one. Huh. That's like a video game. Yes.

Those are normal dreams. The dream I have the most is somebody breaking in my house, killing me and murdering me. That's a nightmare. That's not a dream. But I have that 100 times a year. Yeah. So in other news. Kentucky woman wins $175,000 on a stack of lottery tickets that she picked up in a white elephant gift exchange.

Nice. After her colleague stole the original choice of hers, which she had picked a $25 T.J. Max gift card. Wow. The other person comes over and takes the gift card and gives her the lottery tickets, and she ends up. winning $175,000 in lottery tickets. And whoever donated those to the white elephant gift, they probably have PTSD. Stop. No, seriously, you would be sitting there going, oh, my God, that could have been my money.

I could have a hundred and say. But if you don't normally buy lottery tickets for yourself, I don't think you're saying that. You go into depression. You hate that coworker. I mean, every. Now, does that coworker think I should give the person some money? She might. Maybe, but not much.

That's just a goof gift, and you know it could win. and you're probably not buying those lottery tickets for you. You're buying it as just a one-timer, so you're not going, oh, I should have kept those that time. No, you're never buying them for you. But that's pretty awesome to win those there. Wow. Are you living in your dream home? If yes, you're one of the lucky ones, most people never do.

94% of Americans say they are not living in their dream house because they can't afford it. Most agree that it was a home, and if they dreamt it up, it's not attainable. I mean, yeah, I'd like a, like a... Yeah, who's living in their dream home? and a helicopter. You're never living in your dream home. Slide down. But I don't even know what a dream home.

I don't even, that never pops into my mind. Like, you can design a dream home. That's not even a goal because it doesn't even feel like a real thing. And also it sounds like it take forever. Oh, I'd have two dishwashers. That's it. That's your dream? I would have, yeah.

That's crazy. And a laundry room that's like really big that you can do lots of things in. Yeah. Laundry? What else you're doing in there? I'm like you're doing what kind of stuff. No. Like a wrapping presents station. I would have a big screen to play Madden on in NBA 2K because the two games I play.

But I'd also like to have a big screen where I watch all my games at the same time. Ooh, like a sports book in Vegas. I'd like a sports book room. That's what I want to call it. Yeah, that's good. Because I don't have, I mean, I don't even have two screens. So I flip my laptop open and I put it on YouTube TV and I watch games while I play Madden. And one of Caitlin's friends came over.

she hears me talk about playing madden. She's like, I expected some cool room. She goes, it's just a crappy guest room with a small TV. I'm like, yeah, I know. Tell me about it. So, there you go. A bride missed her own wedding, lost thousands and spent New Year's alone after Southwest canceled her flight.

It's from insider. Yeah, it's a pretty common situation. Yeah. That stinks. It was her wedding. A bride said you cried all morning on a wedding day after she missed the event. Man, if she's waiting that close, though, to get there. Yeah, that's going to her fault.

Yeah, a couple days out, you just get in the car and drive. Maybe she had a word. entry too, I think. Well, you float then. Yeah, get on a boat. Katie Dimko, who lives in St. Louis, told insider that she and her fiance had planned a destination wedding in Belize. There you go.

For Friday. He went to Belize ahead of her, and she planned to take a Southwest flight on Tuesday with her, you can fly Southwest to Belize? I don't know where Belize is either. What country's that? South, close to Mexico. Yeah, yeah, it's like Central South America. I think Southwest goes to Belize.

They didn't know that. They recently added it. I believe it does. Ah, good one. Wow, look at that. And I didn't know Belize was a country. I thought that would be a city. It's down there.

Yeah, it's down there. Man, I was right there by it when I had shot snake in the grass. Yeah? Yeah, it's right by Guatemala and Honduras. Not that I thought I would even know what that was until I went down there. No idea. Anyway, so just before a flight was supposed to board, she said the captain announced it been canceled. That stinks.

Yeah, it stinks. She lost a bunch of money. I'll be honest with you. Can you not drive that, though? It's connected. Yeah, it's definitely land. Nothing safer than New Mexico City drive. I have Mexico.

Yeah, so if you have Netflix, you can just work. That is good. I like that. I don't know why that's so exciting to me, but that's pretty cool because most I have to pay money if you're going to get on any service. I guess you get on YouTube, though, and there's some free ones there. But on Netflix, you know, they're going to be legit and buy legit people. Not just Harriet.

Hi, I'm Harriet. All right, what else? I got a question about the Netflix sharing passwords. What if you have multiple homes and you know, you travel? Like you're a jet setter. Can you not log in at your other house? How are they going to know? So, because I need to know this.

I'm glad you asked. I have YouTube TV now because I like. to watch all these games on my phone. It's the best, by the way. We'll watch it at home as well. YouTube TV's great. They say, oh, it looks like you're not. Because you have to declare where you are and where you live

because they show you local news. And so they say, okay, what do you live? You type it in. If you're somewhere else and you watch, they go, hey, are you just visiting this place or did you move there? And so you're not going to be able to go just move there constantly. Every time you're moving.

So that's how they know. And that's how Netflix will know. And that's how everybody will be. Got it. Because, I mean, I'm still on my in-laws, so I need to know how I'm going to get around this. well pay for it they just say they're visiting

but you can't do that a whole bunch you can't go you're constantly visiting eventually it's going to say you're not wherever you are you're not visiting and they're going to cut it Elon Musk becomes the first person ever to lose $200 billion Oh my gosh

Oh, that's cool. Where'd you see him? I saw him from the back right when I walked out of the airport and I saw this blonde hair. Look at that lady. She's wearing a vest. No, like all black. And I knew right away. And I thought, that's the dog the bounty hunter.

So I got up my phone. And he was just standing there. And I thought I should go over and just say, hey, dog, let's take a selfie. But I just filmed him from afar. And then his black car pulled up to pick him up. And I was like, dang, miss my shot. Oh, well. By himself.

No, some lady was with him. I think he's married. You do. Maybe that was her. And you saw him too? I saw a dog the bounty hunter. You guys didn't see each other? No, it's weird.

And I guess you saw him in the same place, Amy, because I was picking up my parents at the airport. And what I saw was dog, this lady, standing with probably six or seven bags on a cart. And he was waiting for his ride. Bones, I was two seconds away from being like, roll the window down. Hey, dog, you need a ride? That would have been a great story. That would have been amazing. But, you know, I didn't have room because I was about to pick up my parents.

Yeah. The parents would have understood. They had a couple days to be here. Yeah. Any idea what he was doing here? No. No clue. Man, that had been a cool one to see because you know for sure it's him.

Oh, yeah. And it's funny. Like celebrities, they go into. guys, they wear hats. Not dog, dude. He wore his sunglasses, the ones he always wears, the mullets out. It was dog. That's fine. The travel situation was a nightmare for a lot of people. We're lucky that we didn't have to go anywhere far, because our whole circle is Nashville to near Tulsa, down to central Arkansas, back to Nashville. So although it's annoying to drive nine hours on one of those legs, it's never more than that, so we could drive it. But the ice storm,

the computer breakdown of Southwest. It was just miserable. People got trapped all over the place. You got trapped. Oh, it's the worst travel experience of my entire life. And I've traveled in multiple third world countries. So. I'm telling you, I cried so many times.

So what happened to you, though? So you just tried to fly out and your flight was canceled? On the way there, it was bad. I left the day Nashville was like negative 1 degrees or something and it was snowing. I'm surprised. And I had a morning flight. I surprised I made it to the airport. I get to the airport.

Everything seems like on time. but we sit at the terminal for two out, like at the gate for two hours. And then they're like, all right, you're going to be able to board, but use the bathroom now because the toilets are frozen, and you're not going to be able to use old ones. I thought they stopped flights if the bathroom was broken. Same, but I think they had to just keep moving. They did that thing I do to you guys.

They rolled their finger like, you know, guys got to move on. Let's go get the plane going. Yeah, frozen toilet water are fine, so everybody's going to bathroom. So we go to the bathroom, but then we board the flight and we sit on the tarmac for over two hours. And I'm like, well, anybody that need? Right. And then we're going to be in the air for over two hours. I'm like so much for that bathroom break. And you were going to Colorado to your family. Yeah, Denver and then a different flight to get to Durango, which is a smaller town. Well, I get stuck in Denver.

Because I met my two hours on the tarmac. But you got up after the two hours. Wow. Surprised. Yeah. Well, so it was a four hour wait in total. And then when I landed in Denver, I'd miss my connector. And so they had to like get my baggage from going to the other city. And so I wait and alive for like an hour and a half. half for them to tell me they have my luggage. No worries. Okay, great. When can I have it? They're like, eight to ten hours. And I was like, wait, what? You're telling me my luggage is here at the airport. So it was crazy. And then I had no flight out. Nothing was canceled. So my, my brother-in-law drove five hours to Denver to pick me up and then five hours back. We spent the night at a, it was- He drove five hours to pick you up? Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's a really, that was also when I, and his dad even had volunteered. Because the rest of my family was already in Colorado. they'd been there like two or three days, well, three days before me.

So it's just a mess. Were people rude to the people working there that had nothing to do with the delays? Yes. Some people were so kind and that was cool to see. And then other people were a nightmare. And I thought, this person working here at the airport, this is not their fault. You need to stop yelling at them. But I was proud of some of the airport people standing up at themselves.

They were like, you have no idea we're understaff. I mean, but they kind of said in a kind way, but firm. Like, have some respect. We're doing the best that we can. They didn't break it. Yeah, they didn't cause it. You're just looking to take out your frustrations on something or somebody. Right, just go to the corner and cry like I did.

Oh, yeah, cry. And then go to the airport bar. But like you did? I did all those things. And that was just on my way there. The way home was worse. Yeah, there's a whole, I want to get to that too, but I want to go to Eddie, who also, because both you guys had terrible holidays.

Yeah. What happened to you? So we were supposed to go to Texas the first part of our break. And the night before we're packing, my little boy gets sick. the baby, the three-year-old, he gets sick, he starts throwing up. And we're like, it's okay. You know, if he gets sick, we'll give him a little medicine, we'll get on the flight. Well, at 3 o'clock in the morning, we all get sick.

I can hear everyone in the house going, bleh. Oh, no. So the whole family got sick. We had to postpone our trip to Texas, but my wife and the baby never got better. So we got to Texas, we had to go to urgent cares over and over. How did you get there? Do you drive or fly? We flew.

And you got there okay. We got there okay because this was early. Now, we tried to fly back on Christmas. That's when the delay started happening. Were you sick the whole time? Because you're at somebody else's house, like in-laws or something? We're at my in-laws' house. And your wife was sick the whole time?

She was sick the entire time and the baby was sick the entire time. And then some of the other family members started to get sick. So now they're just like, oh my gosh, you came and you got us sick and we're like, I don't know what to do. That's a miserable few days. When you're somewhere else and you're not feeling good, because it sucks to be home. But at least you're in your own stuff. You can fart in your own covers. Right.

No, we're in somebody else's house. You're somewhere else's that's, oh. And Eddie got on the, you. You guys got on the plane sick with other, oh, that is. No, no, we had waited two hours that we thought we were better. I was 100% better. All my other kids were better. But my little baby was still feeling sick.

And my wife was like, I'm just a little nauseous. I'm fine. She was just probably playing strong because she's a strong wife, strong person. Yes, and we had to get down there. Like, we wanted to spend Christmas with our family. So you get there and then you have to get back. Was there an issue with getting back? So yes.

So when we're flying back, there was delays. About four hour delay at the airport. So we're flying back Christmas. Eve. So we're thinking, oh my gosh, we're going to get there really late. We had no groceries at the house. So sure enough, four hours we were late. We get to Nashville. We get to everything's closed. Grocery stores are closed. We have no food. We open the door to our house. The heater is broken. The house is frozen. How cold was it in Nashville? I don't know. But it was negative 1. Negative 1 degrees. Guys, my toilets were frozen. The water on your toilet was frozen ice? It was

ice solid. We're like, this is not good. So everybody's, anybody still sick, by the way. Yes, my wife is still sick. She's still sick. She needs to go to the doctor once we get to Nashville. But everything's closed. The toilets are frozen. The house is cold. And I call someone to, can we have someone look at the heater?

Guys, we have no one. It's Christmas Eve. So we had to wait two days before anyone can come out. How did you saw all the toilets? We didn't. There was one toilet in the back of our house that was working. That was the only one, and that's the one we used. Wow.

That's, yeah, it's crazy. And to make things worse, so once everything got heated up, we got back into life. My wife was, there was a Lego in the garbage disposal. She was taking it out. And as their hands in the garbage disposal, my baby flips the switch on. Oh, my gosh. She yanks her head out. And the garbage disposal caught her nail.

It was that close to chopping her finger off. I'm like, that would have been perfect. You know what? That would have been the perfect ending to this holiday break. Oh, that's my worst. One of my worst fears. It's awful. It was crazy.

I'm sorry that happened to you. You didn't deserve that. It's okay. We're better now. Well, and Amy would like to share the end of her story. Oh, no. Because I saw it on an Instagram story and I was really concerned for her because it looked bad. So you guys were driving on the highway?

Yeah, and the only reason I was driving on the highway is because my Southwest flight got canceled home. So then I had no other flight options and I'm driving all over Colorado and New Mexico, trying to just, I don't know, have a good time. That's what you're doing, having a good time? Trying to have a good time. Well, we were supposed to leave. And my sister's like, well, we're going to go to Santa Fe. You want to come with us?

I'm like, hey, might as well. Because then maybe we can get a flight out of Albuquerque. So we go to Santa Fe and then boom, Southwest loads flights up again. Because for a day, it was just nothing was available. So we finally find a flight. And then we're driving towards Albuquerque on the highway going 70 miles an hour. And I've never been in an accident on the highway before. Anything I've ever hit was a non-moving object.

So this was really scary. The truck next to us, their tire, his tire blew out, and he lost control. And other cars started reacting, and everyone's like swerving. And we swerved because this car's coming towards us. And then we're thinking we're in the clear, but we're about to, like, hit a wall and everything is just happening so fast. And then in the rearview side mirrors, you can see the truck coming straight for us. So my brother-in-law is driving, and he tries to gun it to speed up so the truck will miss us.

And he almost made it. but the truck clipped the back rear passenger tire. And I don't know. It's a miracle we didn't spin out of control because the way it clipped, we should have like spun sideways. I'm thankful for his driving skills, but the driver of the truck hit us,

then hit the wall, bounced off of that, rolled across the three-lane highway and rolled into a ditch. Totaled his car, flipped. Yeah, and he was hauling a trailer and the stuff was everywhere. And I saw it all in my side mirror.

I saw the truck just go. And I mean, once we got to where we could pull over, we could. And then my brother-in-law ran to the scene. And some other people had pulled over. I got some DMs from listeners that are like, oh, my gosh, I drove right by that. And we have a lot of listeners in New Mexico, by the way. They're very like, wow, cool. Thanks for coming to New Mexico.

Which I was so thankful for the people that stopped. But then also the first responders, they were there so fast, which I thought was very impressive and the guy crawled out. And that trailer looks demolished. Yeah. Airbags, smash stuff. Like, he crawled out and he was like, fine. Did you watch him crawl out?

No, I didn't. No, I personally had to stay back because I wasn't prepared. In my mind, I was thinking, I, I just started praying immediately. And then a few minutes went by and I was like, okay, I think that I heard, like, Ben yelled that it's okay. and then so I just, that's when I just kind of, I recorded something because I was so shaken and I just wanted to like put out good energy and prayers and vibes. And I'm like, I think everything's okay, but I'm still waiting to hear. But in my mind, I was just picturing, I can't, if it's something bad, I personally can't handle seeing it.

My brother-in-law used to be at EMT, though, so he was, and he's actually, unfortunately, seen Rex like that before and helped people. So he went straight in. And my son was trying to run after and I'm like, stay back. I didn't want him to see something traumatic. And the guy was okay. Happy holidays. It was a miracle. I'm so thankful.

A lot of people struggle with the traveling. That story, that's really tragic, but he's okay. Which is, yes. I don't even know who he is. I mean, I guess we have the crash number and the insurance stuff, but, oh, man. Eddie's toilets were frozen, and they had a house frozen for a couple of days. What'd you guys do, blanket up? Yeah, we wore all those, like, fuzzles.

How's that bear? You know, that big bear costume? Is that why you're wearing that costume? Yeah, because it was warm. It's hilarious. Hilarious. Mike D. couldn't get back from San Antonio.

They drove. Mike, how long was the drive home? 14 hours. Oh, my goodness. They were just like we're going. So they just jumped. They packed some lunch in a tub and drove. And there it is.

Again, we drove too, but we didn't have to get a flight because of six hours from Central Arkansas here. So thank goodness. But glad everybody's back. We're back. We made it back. We're positive. We're here. This is Julia from South Carolina who left us a voicemail.

Oh, how I've missed you guys. I'm getting ready for going back to work and getting in the routine and I'm just thinking about how excited that I'll be able to listen to you all tomorrow on the podcast and hear about everything. It just looks like everybody had a great holiday and I'm looking forward to seeing y'all and hearing you all soon. Take care. Thank you very much.

We're happy to be back today. There's a new episode of 25 whistles that we did yesterday that's up as well. So it's my football show. 25 whistles. Check it out. Go podcast it if you'd like. A couple more things from my notes. Bobby's notes from the break.

Because I made pages of them. If something would happen, I'd jot it down. This happened Sunday. Tampa, the Bucks, made the playoffs. So remember we all put that money into bet at the beginning? Yeah. So overall, I think we raised amongst ourselves, 500 bucks. And I believe the bet at Draft Kings was 500 bucks got us maybe

3,000? I can look real quick if you'd like. But forever, it seemed like the bucks weren't going to make the playoffs. But they did, and so we're still in. That's great news. I assumed we were out. We're not out. They're probably, just depending, there could be a couple things happen. They're probably going to play the Cowboys in the first round.

And that's going to be tough for the Navy. Unless a couple things happen, right? The Eagles have to lose. Samson's a guy to lose. But they'll probably play the Cowboys in the first round, and that's tough. But right now, we raise 500 bucks as the bet to win $4,000. Wow. Okay. So if the The bucks are in the playoffs, though. The playoffs don't start this coming week, but the week after.

Okay, so what do they have to win for us to get that? The Super Bowl. The whole thing. They can. They have. They can. They can. Sure.

They're terrible. They can. Sure. They're not terrible if they made it this far. No, they're in a bad division. It's been a bad season for them. It has been. Guys.

But I, you know. High vibes. And Tom, we trust. Yeah. You know? So there's that note. I went to a Christmas party over the break. A friend had a Christmas party.

That's pretty awesome. and there's a couple things I wanted to mention from it because we had one at our house too like a Vegas Christmas party that we did for charity and then I went to another friends and they had like a live band and it's pretty cool. It was outside and it was cold but he had the hottest heater I've ever heard of

it's the greatest thing. I was like dang you have some cool guests including the sun which was like some little box but it heated the whole thing. I need to find out what the heater was the greatest thing I've ever seen and he was like why don't you get away from the heater? I can't it's amazing. So we go and there were some microphones up and people would just get up near the end of the party and just start playing. And these three people got up. I didn't know them. But they get up and they sing a song. They did an

a cappella. I'm not sure what it was, but it was like, the first no will. But they're singing again. I'm like, dang, those are good. And my buddy goes, yeah, they're actually a group called Dave's Highway and their brothers and sister, all three of them. It's like a brother and two sisters. They're really good. They're really good. I was like, wow. So I stopped talking to them and they've been here for six, seven years, and they're working real jobs as well, trying to make it. And it was just kind of blown away.

I love brother and sister groups, too. They always sound like their vocals are so tight. Oh, natural harmonies. They're called. And so they're going to come play on the show. They don't have a record deal or anything, but they're going to come play on the show next week, maybe this week. I'm not sure.

So it was awesome. They were amazing. And we had just a really good time at a Christmas party. And the people just grab a guitar. People were like no Justin Bieber under the mistletoe and everybody with, it was awesome. Wow. I rarely just go and just like,

I'm able to relax and have a good time and sing. But that was that night. And so I had a great time there. But another note from that was, because I made another joke about, let me see here. Tampa makes a place.

Oh, okay, I saw Chase Rice. That's what it was. Where? At this party. Uh-oh. And it wasn't like a big party. There weren't any artist. I mean, it was like me, Jake,

Owen, who had the party. And Chase was there for a little bit. It wasn't like an industry thing. No other artists. I think that's why I was able to relax. It wasn't full of music people. And so I did this joke that included Chase Rice. Oh, that's right.

Which is why this is a thing. Got it. Maybe or maybe not. I don't really have fear when I'm on stage doing stand-up because you're not going to beat me up up there. And so I'm just trying to be funny. And I wasn't trying to be mean. I was just making jokes.

It's comedy. Sometimes I may cross the line. Sometimes I may not as a comedian. And at one of my recent comedically inspirational shows, I did a monologue, and I'm like, well, they won't let me host the CMAs because it was right before the CMAs. And so I said, this is what I would do this year if I were hosting it. And so I did all these jokes, right? And I made a joke about Chase Rice when talking about Cain Brown. Do I start this up?

How do I set this up? So from that monologue, it just says about me getting screwed over, but I need to say the Cain Brown part? I don't. Okay. So from that monologue, and I'll tell you, what happened afterward. This is me talking about people getting screwed over at like award shows. Let's talk about Kane Brown. I mean, it's mind-blowing to me that Kane Brown wasn't nominated tonight. Kane broke all kinds of records this year. He's broken streaming records. He's broken

touring records. He has a massive cereal. Kane Brown gets screwed more than Chase Rice at a middle Tennessee sorority party. There he is, old Chase. He's good looking. He is a ladies man. Chase opened up for me once in Austin, and I saw more girls get on a as tour bus than we're playing on country radio last year. So, oh, that's good. And I didn't have any beef with Chase at all.

I was just making jokes. It's a joke. Yeah. And so Chase Rice Rice was there, though. Oh, yeah. And I was like, I'm never awkward. I would have been happy to talk with them. I don't really know Chase that well.

And all this stuff is true. I mean, I didn't make anything up. He did open for Eddie and I, The Raging Idiots in Austin. It was a great, he did a great show. It was us. John Party Open was right before us. It was our show, but party open, Chase open, and somebody else.

else. But Chase comes up and goes, hey man, you seen any college girls? Ah, let's go. And he was kidding. Yes, yes. He doesn't talk about it. Good job, Chase. Good job, and I said, no, man, I thought you probably took taking them all with you. We had a little joke about the joke and then we just talked for like 20 to 30 minutes and it was great. We talked about just real life stuff. And so I thought it was so cool to him because some people got really upset. some of that stuff went over publicly some didn't and I was getting threatened and stuff like you don't put that online there's a whole situation whatever it doesn't matter it wasn't from Chase

because Chase came up and was like yeah that's pretty funny he was like yeah I saw it I was like ooh he's always but it is what it is he's gonna do so I would just like to publicly say I think that really cool way that he handled that yeah and I was like hey man I didn't want to offend you I even asked one of your friends before I did it it, do you think Chase would get mad? I don't want to run a joke by him because I don't want to run jokes by people about

about them. But I asked one of his friends, he was like, no, Chase won't get mad. And so I said, I even asked about if you would get mad. So I said, it was great. We talked for half an hour. He had a great sense of humor about it at the end. So, yeah, like a lunchbox clapping again. Yeah, we'll take it. Well, I didn't get beat up. I was worried you were going to say he got punched.

Punched. Well, he'd won my butt, for sure. So, but that was it. And he's apparently got some, I hope I'm not breaking news or anything. He's had any new records coming out this year. I was like, dude, come up. Let's go. We had a good talk. I don't really know him that well. I haven't had a great relationship with him, you know, over the years. But I think we went a long way and like actually having some sort of like we're normal to normal human dudes.

Man, 2023. The new Bobby's in. Yeah. New 23. New me. That's cool, man. Yeah. So there was that. Any other note I want to go through. Are we, we had a time, Ray? You got two minutes. Okay. Some of this stuff I'm going to just wait until tomorrow. man, I got some good ones here. We finished the show The Old Man. One of the best shows I've ever seen. It's awesome. Apparently it was on Hulu now, but apparently it was on FX.

FX is what it says. Don't even know how I missed it. It has Jeff Bridges as an old guy who used to be in. He's the dude. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm talking about it in the show. Oh, oh, CIS. He used to be in one of those organizations, CIA, FBI, whatever. And he gets out of it.

But then they're trying to find him years later, but he's an old guy. and now he's like, wait, I'm old, and he's got to like, it's awesome. Oh. Let's go. Is it that good? I just started the first episode, so I mean, so far so good. The old man. The old man.

It's amazing. Okay. Hour or 30 minutes? 53. That's an hour. 42. Hour four. No regulation on old people.

This old man, baby. Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day. This story comes us from Linden, New Jersey. A man went into a liquor store and put a bottle of liquor on the counter and they said, oh, that'll be $18.60. He's like, I only got 15. Give me a discount. And he said, sir,

can't do that. So he got mad, threw the liquor bottle at the employee and then smashed $3,000 worth of liquor. Whoa. He probably not had the cash on to pay for that either. Probably not. People are just having bad times. Like bad days.

Yeah, I think he was under the influence. Oh, you think he went drunk? Yeah, I think so. I mean, you don't react that way if you're not. Right? Unless you're just unstable. I don't know, 15 bucks for an $18 unless he's been in there and caused trouble

maybe you help him out. You know, hey, a little discount. A little holiday cheer. We just finished Christmas, you know, New Year cheer. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. On the phone in Missouri is Kyler.

Kyler, what's going on, buddy? Hey, how's going to show? Morning studio. Morning. So all of 2022, I kept track of every time somebody's winning show or winning game song played

I have missed podcast in a long time and so I didn't know you guys always say Eddie is the most and so I kept track and I didn't know if you guys wanted to hear that

would love it wow I don't know if you kept my school I don't get to play a lot of games because my host them or yeah percentage wise Bobby's

would get played the most yeah maybe maybe not no no let's be right because when you play you yeah it's like 95% I appreciate

you guys saying that. Happy New Year to me. Really annoying. Did you count mine and did I have any wins, Kyler? Yeah, you win seven for seven, actually. Yeah, exactly. Wow. Every time you played you won. I told you.

See? Okay. You didn't lose one. That's probably why they don't like you playing games because you always win. I had no idea. Thank you. Okay, so who's in last place in the games for the whole year of 2022, Kyler?

Do you want to count Abby and Morgan also? Morgan plays. Yeah, both, both. Okay, and last place is Abby with three wins. Okay, she's just play a whole lot. What was her percentage? Do you know? No. I don't know the percentage.

Third place is Amy with 34 wins. Wow. Here we go. Yeah. We'll find out of the real champion. You know why? You beat Eddie. I don't know.

First place had 63 wins. Wow. What a year. All the games. Somebody had 63 wins. When this guy called it and this, I was going to be like, what a loser. But now I'm like, hey, good job, man. I'm glad you found out I was on top.

Yeah. All right, Kyler, who had 63 wins and was the first place overall champion of the show and all the games last show. That would be the guy who wins all the games, Eddie. Hey! What a twist. So how many did lunch have?

And lunchbox had 40. Oh, wow. Pretty good. That's far away, though. It's a good year for you though, but well, it's second though. Not far from me. Yeah, too many music games. Hey, Kyler, I'm going to send you some sort of prize.
