There we go. Welcome to Tuesday show. Morning studio. Morning. So their name and babies dog names now. So I want to read you this. This is from NBC, Chicago.

Baby names this year include things like I guess Max isn't so much a dog name, huh? Bear, banjo, blue. Banjo blue for sure. Banjo? No, no, I'm saying banjo and blue.

And bear? But Max, you're right. Mack's kind of common name. Duke. I had a Duke growing up. Duke's a dog's name, right? Yeah. Maverick, which I don't feel like is just a dog's name,

but also if you're going to name your kid Maverick, that's putting him in a bad spot because he better be awesome. And everything. There's a golfer named Maverick. Maverick McNeely, I think. And is he awesome? Yeah, he's pretty good. Okay.

Yeah, and you grew up really rich. Yeah, that's right. So you better be like really rich. and have something really awesome about you. If you're going to be named like Maverick or... I don't you feel like Maverick just... Ace or something. Giving Rich.

Stella. But I think Stella's not really a dog's name. If it was like Spot, I'd be like, that's straight on a dog's name. But yeah, it's almost like we're running out of names. So now they're just going to start naming babies' dogs' names. But what has happened with baby names is what used to be old is new and what is new is old. and that just is always a cycle. What is the name that will never come back, though, Bertha?

Gertrude. No, I think, I've seen Gertrudes. Really? Yeah, because they're not called Gertrude. They're just called like... Gertie. Something, yeah. Like, I've seen babies name Gertrude.

Because it's like... That one doesn't seem as weird, though. Maybe I'm desensitized to it being old because I've seen a couple of babies named that. Agnes? That's an old name. But is that one that is not at all back. Never back. Agnes, Bertha.

What about like Homer? I don't know, Homer's kind of cool again. I don't mind Homer. I don't mind Homer. But if your wife came to you and said, let's go with Agnes. No, no, we're not doing it. What about Chester?

Because I just think of the word molester. Yeah, no, no, you can do that. It's tough to do the rhyme. Yeah, you chester the, yeah. Well, I literally just said molest. You just said it. I know, but yeah, you can do that. How about, like, Leonard?

That's Leo, though. That's Leo. Yeah, but Leonard as a name now is about, I'm not, I think Leonard's fine. And again, I think it matters if you name it after somebody. How about Albert? Yeah, I don't know. As a baby now.

Not anybody's alive at this point. Albert, Albert. Walter, as a baby? I don't hate it. Walter. Walter. I just think of Walter White. If somebody said this is my baby Walter.

Like, you named it Walter. What about a baby named Ron? Oh. No, there's no Ron. That's a lot of. But Ron is Ronald, you know? What about Don, Donald? Yeah, I don't mind Donald.

Like Don't. Doug. Don't care. What's the worst, though? Gartrude. He's stuck on Gertrude. Yeah, I don't mind Gertrude that much. I think Bertha probably never comes back.

They've been named the golf club after it. You don't only name somebody. Yeah, because Bertha's also like something they would call somebody that's big. Yes, yes. That would be a tough one. Like, here's everybody Bertha. She has more 14 pounds of one ounce. You know what might be dead now is Alexa.

Yeah. You can't name of someone that anymore. Yeah, I would say that's not because of an old person. though that's because of a technology. My cousin's series had the hardest time. Oh, I know, man. All right, everybody good?

Yes. Bobby bones, I'm having trouble convincing our kids that part of growing up means taking care of your own expenses. Now that they're all out of school, they've been good about finding their own places to live.

My issue is things like streaming services. Last week, I changed all of our passwords and accounts so that they reflected just me and my wife and one household. When I did that, you'd have thought, We'd have cut them out of the will. All heck broke loose and it was like, how dare you?

Is there an age limit when you start weaning grown kids off of stuff like your streaming services? Do they really need that much of a warning to prepare themselves? Signed, mom of adult children. Amy, you can go. Gosh, I feel like my kids are going to be adults using all my things. I don't know that there's an age, but you're the parent. Sometimes my kids even tell me that. When I ask them a certain question and they're like, you're the adult.

you're the mom you tell us sometimes they just need to be told so you've got to decide what you want to do set the boundary tell them and then they'll be okay what was the last thing that your parents paid for of yours and neither one of them are no longer with us but like what was the last thing so i do know that on my wedding night i had a credit card that i still had that my dad did given me i didn't use it as much but i had it just in case but now that i was an adult and had a job and i was giving you getting married on my wedding night. That was one of my gifts to him. I cut it up and put an envelope and I was like, I don't even need it for emergencies anymore. Boom. Like, because this is my final adult thing that I'm probably going to do. And plus he paid for the wedding, so I felt

that. Yeah, but that's traditional. I know it is. We can't hold that against you. But still, I felt like, here, I'm going to give you this since you gave me this. Morgan, didn't you just stop getting your parents paying for something or are they still paying for something yours? Like insurance or something? Yeah, the insurance stopped like my first year out of, uh, college. Okay, you just got bused. You got thrown under a bus. Is they still paying for your phone? No, we're all on the same phone thing, but I pay for it. Like, we're on the same. You tried to bus her. It didn't work. Well, I think she'd mention that the two- Yeah. Yeah. Hey, we're on the same one. You tried to bust her. Unsuccessful. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I like the idea of just cutting them and not telling them.

That way there's no, like please don't, please don't. You just cut them. The login doesn't work. Get your own account. I think you did the right thing. I think you felt it was the right thing. I don't think there's an age, like Amy said. I think it's hilarious now. The people have paid for their own accounts because you're supposed to. Yeah. Good job. parents, you're cutting those kids off. We don't have an actual rule on that, but we agree with what you did. Because we think parents should make their own decisions, right, Amy? Yep, that's right. There you go. Close it up. Here's a voicemail we got last night.

I am bilingual. I just heard the segment of Eddie and Mike Dian Spanish and I, oh my God. Okay, signetica, y'all are both saying it wrong. It's significa. Signetica. The accent is on the wrong syllable. What are the accent on the syllable

depending on what part of the country you'd be from? Because that's how we do with English. I don't know. That's a good question. Mike, you want to, Do you think she's right or wrong? Oh, she's right, yeah. That was a brain thing on me.

I was trying to say it back to Eddie and even I was saying you're wrong. We're idiots. I was literally just trying to protect you guys. I have no idea. Did you hear her laugh so hard? Yes, I thought it was funny. I thought it was funny.

I thought it was funny. I thought I was saying like Eddie has to be like top nuts to make it. Here's Cindy J from Sufall, South Dakota. I was just thinking about you guys and I just wanted to say hello and how much I appreciate you guys so much in your show, but I've been kind of absent for the last couple weeks and I just wanted to say hi. Again, I love your show. I love the Bobby Bone show. Have a great Thanksgiving and God's blessing to you all. Thank you very much.

The same to you. I bet it's cold up there in South Dakota. We think it's cold here. Yeah, shout out you guys. That's where coats already. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Having too many pictures and unread emails on your phone might mean you have a mental disorder. Absolutely.

If you have any red dots at all, that's the more mental disorder you are. That's me. What are my red dots at right now? Let me check. Not you. I'm just saying all of you guys. 607 under text messages for me. And the disorder is hoarding.

Hoarding disorder. It's digital hoarding and it's where you can't let go of photos. You hold on the way too many emails and text or maybe even memes. You screenshot all kinds of things. and that is what is wrong with people. Total red dots. On my whole phone, zero. On your whole phone?

None, none. I see a red dot. It is, that's a red alert literally for me to get to it, complete it, get it out of the way, so I don't worry about it. I have 22,000 unread emails and that's because I started over on the new year. Oh my God. Why don't you just do select all and delete them all then? I'm going to do that.

Digital hoarder, Eddie. That's me. That's your disorder. Okay, what else? 36% of Americans think they are, quote, too old to learn. And I guess what? Eddie does this.

He's like, I'm too old. Good point. Eddie's like, what's the use? I'm about to die anyway. Yeah, like math. You're like, oh, get better at math.

For what? I have a calculator. I ask my wife to do the tips. That's not what we're talking about. It's like when you were diagnosed with dyslexia and stuff, you have an opportunity to maybe learn how to get better at things. Like there's tips and tools. You're like, who cares?

I'll just live this way. Yeah. I figured out a way to read with dyslexia. It's a bad disease, but I figured it out. It's not a disease. It's a disease. disorder. Is it contagious?

Anyway, I did think of these guys or y'all could learn how to save for your retirement. And I just think that we're never too old to learn. Yeah, I agree. I want to go back to school. Oh, no, that's crazy. I don't have the time for that, but yes. I know, but I would want to. I don't have the hours, I don't think.

Yeah. I'm a doctor already. What am I going to do? Oh, that's true. Yeah. There are some rumors going around that Target is supposed to get a cocktail bar. Don't believe them. They are not true.

They will not be serving Targaritas while you show. And that did sound good, though. I know. Who starts that rumor? I have no idea. But I feel like... It's perfect. It's so perfect.

It's got to be red too. You get coffee and... Oh, yes. You know how they do the coffee with like the little shape in them and stuff? They do the margarita but it has the target on it. It's like a red circle in the middle of red circle. Oh, my. Yeah, I feel like they're on to something.

Maybe after they hear all these rumors and people being disappointed, maybe they'll actually put it in there. And Target, I would like to say, I do think that people would shop more. after if I had one targarita I'd be buying me more. That's a good point. We just need to make sure to have a designated driver. You may also have people like dumping over the aisles and stuff too. It goes a little crazy. I'm Amy. That's my file.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Gosh, there's this kid, Eden. He's been in foster care for years. Actually seven years total, which is a very long time. And back in 2019, when he was only 11, he was featured on the news.

like, hey, I would really like to get adopted. Well, fast forward, they did another news feature on him this year, and it finally happened. At 17 years old, he was adopted. Jeff and Kelly Buck, they saw the feature, and they were like, hey, yeah, we have to bring him in. And now at 17, he's not going to age out of the foster care system, and he's going to have a family in time for Thanksgiving. So what are the benefits of being adopted at 17? Not aging out and then having like no support. The way I look at it is like even if you're 17 and someone's bringing you in and they're saying,

hey, we want to be your mom. We want to be your dad. Now when you become an adult and start to do adult things, you have support. You have a net. You have a system. You have something you've never had before, a little bit of security because at 18, then you're just out there on your own. What would be the benefit of adopting a 17 year old?

Same thing. Like a year and then there. Yeah, not much. I mean, that's why they have such a big heart. Like, it's really good one. Like, if you're up a seven-year-old, like they're out in a year. Yeah. Well, they are.

You got to go, I adopted somebody. Well, but in a way, you would think that probably they stay with you a little longer so they get acclimated and then you can help them because there's a lot they likely maybe haven't developed being in the foster system and you get to give them that. And I just, they have a family for life now. When you adopt them, it means, you know, they get to come home for Christmas. Say they do get an opportunity for college or they go off and get a job. Now they get to have a family to come home to.

That's what I should do. I was like an 18 year old. No, 17 and then one one. Yes, I'm saying. And then like, it's kind of already all built in. I adopted a kid. And then I'm like, look at me. No, that's awesome.

They did that with true intentions. Me, my intentions were not true. Right, right, right. Mine were like I can now click and get the benefits of being a parent. Because I would also say it's going to come with some challenges. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

Yeah. Great story. What were their names again? Kelly and Jeff Buck. All right. Great job, guys. That's an awesome story. That is what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about,

Like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family.

Good. Eddie and something like that by Tim McGraw. What holiday weekend does the song take place? Labor Day weekend. Good job. It was Labor Day weekend. And I was 17. Good job.

Good job. One of my favorites. Justin, how you feeling? You're two for two. so far. I was feeling good last week and I'm just going with the flow right now. He lost last week. Is that what happened?

I don't know, Jolene. Jolene is going to have like dark color eyes. She has brown eyes.

Oh, no, I don't know. That's just a guess. I don't know. Amy, do you know? Blue. Mm-mm. In Joling by Dolly Parton, Jolene has eyes. Beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of Auburn hair with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.

Oh, green eyes. I also thought she had red hair, so. You have two left. Eddie, you cannot miss either one of these. Okay. Auburn. And Beach Owen by Jake Owen. Wait, and Peach-O-N by Jake Owen.

Beach-O-N. Maybe you heard of that song. And Beachin by Jake Owen. She's dropping limes in what kind of beer. Oh, that's a Corona Bones. Good job. Way back. Yeah.

Or laid back. Oh, my God. Beach Owen. It's a great song. Last one. Justin, if he gets this, you're going to win the prize. Come on, baby. Which, by the way, the prize is a $250 Walmart gift card and a copy of the game,

I don't even know that song. I know that line, though. You know why? Because every time I hear it, I'm like, where's Brunswick? Where's that, New Jersey? She's a party all-nighter from South Carolina. Come on. A bad ma'amma jama from down in Alabama.

She's a raging, Kajun, lunatic from Brunswick. Let's go, Justin. Let's go, Justin. Yeah. Dude, I wouldn't have got that one. I do. That line's always stuck out to me.

I was like, Lunditig and Brunswick. That's crazy. Hey, Justin, congratulations, buddy. Won you a $250 Walmart gift card. And again, throw-throw burrito the game. We'll sign this game and send it to you as well, all, all. Woo. Thank you.

A couple more days. So get in on that. There you go. That's Justin. That's a winner. Eddie, you're the winner.

That's awesome, man. You make dreams come through. You're Oprah. Your Oprah. Did your daughter were in somebody? Yeah, in my driveway. Oh. Yeah. So it's just like, normally there's not a car there and she was leaving for work and sort of in a hurry. Didn't look back. Usually there's not a car there. Totally not a car there, which is such a bummer because is a newer Toyota, so the bumper. All she did was dent the bumper. It's like, that's something like a big dent. And because newer cars now have all the sensors and the cameras and everything,

this is the most expensive bumper known to man. Back in the good old days, you just get a new bumper. Right. Go over the junkyard, find just similar bumper, tape it on. Yeah, this is not the good old days anymore. Like the damage is so, like we thought, okay, because she's been working and saving money. And so I was like, well, this is one of those things that may go towards that. No way.

She'd have to work for like, the entire year. $8,000. Oh my goodness. On a, on a Camry, a new one because of the, it's because all of the sensors and the can't, like everything that was there and that bumper and then kind of like where it was with

the trunk part, I don't know. So we filed through insurance and now she's going to pay the deductible. How much was the whole Camry? That bumper has got to be a significant part of the whole car. So, but I guess that's where they have a lot of like, probably anything down below surrounding the car is where all those sensors are. So you get the front bumper, the back bumper. This happened to be the back.

And she's going to, she's covering the deductible. And then she's going to cover whatever our monthly insurance goes up. You know, it trips me out because in my Hyundai, it has this thing where if you're backing up, obviously it has the camera on it. Yeah. Which I don't, let's, I'll be honest. I shouldn't say this. I don't even turn my head around and look back anymore. I just go all camera because the camera's so good.

So I just back. I don't even, whatever. Secondly, I don't know how they do that thing where they can like, everything around you from the top. It's pretty cool. You ever see that in a car? Honda has that too where it's like it shows you like, like aerial view. Yeah. There's got a helicopter above me watching. How do they do that? There is. Oh, that would know it. That would be awesome. You ever see that? Yeah, but how did they do that? How do they do that? They get all the cameras and they put it and they merge them together. But did you

the top? I know, but you have cameras in every point of your car. So you merge it together and they put a fake car in the middle. It's not really your car. Oh. It's shaped like my car. Whatever. Robby. Roll the window down. Roll the and stick your arm out and see if you see it in the video. You will, because the camera's going to catch it. Oh. It's going to catch your arm going out? Yeah, man.

Okay. It is cool, though. I miss the good old days, but that turns me out. A woman in Maryland wins her second lottery jackpot in two months. She won $100,000 from a scratch off one month ago, won $50,000 for another game. I think this is the only chance that I have to commit lunchbox that time travel is real. Yeah, this is it. He might believe it after this.

Dude, you've played so many times, hundreds, thousands of times. and you never hit, and she hits twice, big ones in two months. How does that happen? Is that just straight luck? It's straight luck or the lottery gods start shining down on her. It's sort of like... Okay, but that is like saying time travel. If you say the lottery gods are shining down, that's just you making up a... No, no, no.

It's sort of like in hockey or whatever they say, oh, or soccer. The first goal is the hardest one. And then they come and, you know, drove. So maybe getting that first win is the key. And then something happens where it unlocks the lottery for you. I don't know. I can't explain it because it's so frustrating when I hear someone like this win twice in two months or whatever. It drives me bananas.

So you're saying there could be something bigger than anything that you could understand or explain. Like the lottery gods. Like the lottery gods. Yes. Which could be time travel. I don't know. She's an alien. It could be show of the connection to the office.

Who knows? It could be. She knows Jim that works in the lottery offices. This is, hey, these balls are going to pop this week. But that's not true. But those are scratchoffs. Oh, yeah. Here's another one.

A woman buys 18 identical lottery tickets. I don't understand that. This is not scratch off. She won $180,000. Because each of them was $10,000. So she bought $18 of them. Explain. I don't know why you would ever buy the same numbers.

Why would you not diversify your portfolio? You know, like you don't want to have one ticket. It's all losing. It's so dumb. Like have this combination, this combination. It's not dumb in this case. Well, actually. It works.

Yeah. I understand. But it's like if you're on draft kings and you're doing a parlay, you don't put the same team in five different parlays because that one team loses, boom, all five parlays are gone. Unless you feel really great about it. No, she must have felt great about it. No, no, I would.

No, he's saying don't do all the, he said it's one team in all the different parlayes. Yeah, I'm just saying, it makes no sense to me when you buy 18, 10, whatever lottery tickets are the same numbers. I can't wrap my... So with these two stories, these people are getting wildly lucky. There's a chance. something that you cannot explain.

It's something I can't explain it. It makes me think this holiday season, maybe it's my time. Oh, that's what it convinces you? Yeah. Why not just take a whole paycheck and do it once during the holidays? Do it, man. Dude, do you know how much Christmas money you'd have for your kids if you hit? Oh, my gosh. Except for life.

You think that's what he's thinking about Christmas money for his kids? I ain't worrying about Christmas money for my kids. I mean, trust me, I'd be thinking about retirement for me. What are you going to do? I got to buy lottery tickets, but I don't know. I mean, I'm going to it. Commit to something bigger. The whole paycheck.

Listen, if it were me and I heard these stories, I go whole paycheck. Whole paycheck, dude. Well, you just heard those stories. I know. And you know what? They went hard. You don't go hard enough, I don't think. All right, then I'll step it up.

All right. He stepped it up. We can't get them to step up anything else. I'm going to step it up by lottery tickets. Okay. I'm starting to get Christmas cards in my house and I don't hate him, right? I don't love them, but I don't hate them. Because I don't get a lot of mail at the house that's not a bill.

So open it up. We do our thing. We've set it up on the counter. Now, at the end of Christmas, is it okay to take your arm and dump them all in the trash can? Yes. Okay. Everybody good on that? Yes.

Yeah. Throw them away. Okay. How about this? What if you don't know them that well? You just mildly know them. And somehow you get a Christmas card from them. Like, there are people that don't make our counter.

We just don't the trash immediately. Am I going to hell for that? No. Okay. Good. You're good, man. I'm okay with it. Next up, why would they send me a Christmas card?

Great question. Maybe they just send them out to anybody they've ever encountered. They seem expensive. Well, it's not even just, well, okay, but you're making the cards. That's the expensive part of like getting the foot. I know, but printing an extra one, that's not the expensive part. To me, it's the time that went into figuring out your address, filling it out, adding you to the list.

Mailing it. Okay, okay. Let me run this by you. A friend. I would say a friend. And I wish I wouldn't respond it like this. So I'd also like to preface. I'm not proud of my response, but it was my, my reaction more so than me trying to prove a point with Christmas cards.

Because my wife and I, we don't send out Christmas cards. We don't have kids yet. She's not pregnant. But every time I say that, I need to say that. We don't say Christmas cards out. And she probably maybe did it as a family, but we never did that. I had a friend texting me and go, hey, I need your address. I want to send you a Christmas card.

And I replied back, oh, don't worry about sending me one. I already know what you're up to. No, that's not. Just reply with your address. Okay, and I should have. I mean, if it's a friend that you won, yeah. I'm getting the same card. I didn't even ask questions.

I gave him the address. Yeah, because why would you ask the question? Which, by the way, love him. Yeah, great guy. I don't want a Christmas card from him. He's my friend. It's like if Eddie goes, want to send your Christmas card. Why, dude?

I see your whole family like every Tuesday. I'm right there. Am I just a hater? I'm trying to break out of my hater of the holidays. I don't have a lot of good holidays growing up. I don't think I'm a hater, I don't think I'm a hater of the holidays, which I used to be, but am I just a hater of the holidays

All love and paper form. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You're not a hater of the holiday, though. You're just a hater of the cards. Yeah, I'm with you. But eventually maybe I'll be a Christmas card guy.

Yeah, but like, okay, if this is a guy where he's married or has kids or has, it's not that. And it's proud of his kids. I want everybody to see, but I'm like, I have Instagram. I can see them. That's what they do. If that's their thing, and people that mail out cards, it's their thing. And they want to send it out. That'll never be you, Bones.

Yeah. It's not me for sure. Yeah. I'm just saving this because it very much well could be. But it's not going to be you. It's going to be your wife. Possibly. Yeah.

You're not going to, you're not spearheading the, we need to take our Christmas photos, and we're going to mill them out. And unfortunately, you get lumped in because then someone gets it like, oh, you sent me a Christmas card. I didn't send it.

My wife's in it. I'm not part of that craft. Okay. Around the room, then who sends out Christmas cards with pictures of their family? Amy? I've always wanted to be that person, and I'm just not.

Okay. You've wanted to be and someone held you back or you just haven't like? Yeah, no, I don't have the, is the organization of like doing all that and wanting to gather everybody's stuff and send that out. No. Lunchbox?

My wife did it for the first time last Christmas. I was not a part of it. I was not a willing participant. You did the picture? She just took pictures from throughout the year. Oh, you were. Got it, got it, got it. Like we didn't take specific pictures.

Yeah, you went to Kmart for sure. Yeah, he went to Kmart for sure. And I did not get her one single address. If she wanted an address, she found it herself, but I am lumped in and I hate it every minute of it. Why? Because it's just so stupid. a waste of paper, it's a waste of space.

It's so much garbage. They're so expensive. It's just not worth it. That's a hater, hater. That's a hater. Okay. Another one. When people write like, because not all, but I'd say like a fifth of them, 20% of them have like in the card, like an update on like how everybody's doing. Like a little bit.

That's for family. Am I wrong for being annoyed by that? No, but I think it's for people that really want to know those updates, like family members. So they just go ahead and throw it in to everybody. The ones that we've gotten, I don't even really know the people. They're like... I know. And it's like Lucy started a freshman year at college.

It's been great so far. I don't know Lucy. Jack played on two soccer teams. It's like, I don't care about Jack. We don't want to be a hater. I'm not trying to be a hater. I do not bring this to be a hater. I'm just asking the protocol.

If a friend goes, can I melt what your address? And you go, don't worry about it. I don't need... I'm good. I didn't mean that to mean I don't care or love you or like you. It means... Don't worry about it, man. I'm sure they were like,

this is literally the first thing we've ever gotten this response. Yeah, and then I never sent my address. Eddie sent cards now? No, no, no, chance, dude. I can't stand those things. Family, as your family growing up, it seemed like Christmas card family. No, we never sent out Christmas cards as a family. I did send out a Christmas card of me and my dog one year, and then it was too much work.

I gave up on it. To how many people? Like 20? It's just like my good friends. But there was no update or anything. There's literally just a picture of me and my dog and Christmas stuff. You know, I'm going to say this. I mean this.

I hope I'm a Christmas card guy in the next three or four years. You won't be. I hope. Why? Because I want to be that. But so do I. Those are annoying. No, that means I don't have any deadness in my heart anymore.

It's not about that. It's about the time. I want to be that guy. An organization. Scooby, do you guys say that Christmas card? Only my mom because she cares. No one else. My family gives the crap.

So I just sent them to her to keep her happy. So you send her one card. It used to be for her and my grandmother until she passed, but just my mom. And I sent her a card for every holiday. Anything from Valentine's Day up to her birthday to the start of summer. She loves cards. Oh, you send her cards all the time. All the time, yeah.

You know what? I think I would like them a little more if I opened it and a gift card fell out. That'd be nice. Let's change that culture. Send me a gift card with a Christmas card and I think I'll like it better. You know, you were talking about throwing away at the start of this, which I do think that is okay. But do you know there are some people that have kept every Christmas card they've ever been given through the years? I saw them on hoarders.

Yeah. No, but there is a cute way to do it. Like there's these big silver rings. Like you can buy, like, teachers used to use them for like note cards and stuff. buy those and you A janitor key of cards? Sure. You hold punch each card and then you put it on there and they're organized by year.

And I thought that's a brilliant little hack for if you're someone that likes to keep them. Sounds like losers to me. However, I hope that I'm a loser like that. Like as you can look back. My goal is to be a loser. I would love to be a loser like that both ways. I'm saving them. I'm sending them.

That's the goal. But I'm standing by how I feel right now. And I just had some questions about it. But I feel like we're all a little ball humbug for different reasons. I wonder why none of us are Christmas card people. Because we're normal. We're normal. Oh, you have it.

I'll accept it. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Ho'Brien, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the minds. set shifts, too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong

financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

And yeah, we talk about our mistakes too. They pulled me to their side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night.

With producer Eddie. There's a 10-year-old boy in Wisconsin, and he's doing his math homework, Gosh, he's having trouble with it. It's just a few problems. He doesn't even know how to even conquer.

So he calls 911. Wait, why don't he ask us parents? I don't know. There's no mention of the parents, but he gets the phone and calls 911. They say, what's your emergency? He says, I need help in my homework. I don't know how to do this. So what does the operator do?

Any units out there know any math homework? Can they go to this address and help this kid out? And sure enough, Deputy Chase Mason, he shows up, sits with him, and they do the homework. Stop. There'd be a lot of cops, too, that were like, I would help. but I don't know math. This is awesome. Because that sounds like when math starts to get weird.

Yeah, that's the age weird. Yeah, we're like most officers, even if they wanted to do it and be cool, they were like, I'm not doing that. I have no idea. I had to hear of new math. They said it was decimal math. I'm out. Yeah, yeah.

Even like a good-hearted cop, it's probably going to be like, nah. So does he at least lecture on not to call 911 for math homework? He did. After the homework was done, he said, look, that's not a reason to call 911. Here's the non-emergency line next time. Here's the math number. Good story. That's what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's go over to Amy and get the morning corny. The morning corny. What kind of sweet potato starts arguments? What kind of sweet potato starts arguments? An agitator. Oh, Tater. Got it.

That was the morning corny. Agitator. It could have been any kind of tater. Yeah, but sweet potato. Bate Tater. A Tuesday Reviews Day, we'll do part of the room here. We'll go quickly. On Tuesday, it's when we review things that we've seen.

And I do want to go to Mike D. You watched Wicked the movie? Yeah. I love the musical. I always consider myself, I'm not a musical guy, but most musicals I've ever seen, I love the musical. I do. I love them. I can't get enough.

Wicked the movie, how was it? I had never seen the musical. I love the movie. Really? Yeah, the songs are so good. The story is amazing. and I love how it's, it's a lot of acting parts. Like, I thought it was going to be all singing all the time,

but there's a great story around it. I give it 4.5 out of five magic wands. Did your theater sing? No, they did not sing. They wanted to, like during Defying Gravity. You can feel it in the audience, but nobody's saying. Is it Wizard of Oz? Kind of.

You never seen it? Never seen it. No, but kind of. Yeah, right? It's like a reimagining, like prequel. It's awesome. I think I was dragged there once, because work was like, this is years ago.

They were like, we're doing this thing. You should go watch. And I went and then I think I've seen it twice. Like, I loved it. Yeah, it's good. And also, I think they should do singing and non-singing theaters. Because I know the big drama is people are going in singing and then people can't hear the movie. Yeah, I think in December they're going to start doing sing-along.

They are? That would be like the Taylor Swift when they had the whole concert. They're like, don't sing along. Although that's a little more of a concert. But I feel like those are really famous popular. their songs. Pop, pop,

eat that. I don't know it. Amy, you want to review something? Yeah, I finished season one of From with my daughter. That was per your recommendation.

And I am so excited for season two. It's so good. What would you give it? I'll give it four out of five just because I had to look away too much and, like, focus on other things so I didn't get too scared. But yeah, I'll get four out of five scary things at night. It's on Amazon.

It's an MGM Plus show. which Amazon bought MGM Plus. I never heard MGM Plus. And it's listed as horror, but it gets to be way less horror and way more like, oh, I can't figure this out. So I reviewed season one last week. We watched season two now.

And season two, I did not feel was as good as season one, but I still felt like it was really good, but it sets you up perfectly for season three. So I'm still very much in. And I'm giving it three and a half. Oh, but I'm ready for season three. But I'm giving it three and a half.

out of five milkman. Okay. Milkman or milkman? Milkman. Okay. One milkman. I'm rooting for the milkman. All right.

We'll get to everybody else's in a little bit. It's against the law in Louisiana to send someone a surprise pizza because it is considered harassment and it's illegal. And you may think, that's fun. Who doesn't love a pizza? Well, Amy once moved her whole house. Moved out of it because somebody kept sending her pizzas. Oh, yeah. It was a safety concern for sure.

Yeah, because you just kept getting these mystery. pizzas at your house. Yeah, and I was like, who is this person? How do they know my address? And it just freaked me out. And that was when I was married and my husband was deployed all the time. And I no longer felt safe. It is against the law to order a pizza to be delivered without their knowledge in Louisiana. $500 fine. The law is based on the idea that such a prank could cause distress or inconvenience. Inconvenience, Amy moved her house. Yeah. Yeah. She packed up and moved. It wasn't one pizza. One pizza, you would have just been like, how about that? And it was multiple pizzas, pizzas and they would order from different places and different toppings and what do you think

their intent was with you i don't know just so maybe freak me out maybe they thought it was a funny prank but to me i thought i don't know who this is and they would use different phone numbers there was no way to track down like who it was actually coming from would you ever eat the pizzas no oh i would have because i also didn't trust that i mean like i hate this i'm not your man me too no i did it wasn't from a real delivery person yes well so i thought i mean mean, they had the little hot thing they put it in. Yeah. They looked legit.

You're committing to the bit if you go buy a hot thing to and you're not a real delivery person. Right. So the definition of harassment, harassment's defined by a repeated pattern of verbal or nonverbal communication without invitation. There you go. So, by the way, it's not illegal where we live, but it is illegal in Louisiana. So working theories around the room, mine is, whomever it was doing it as a joke.

You ended up moving houses. They never will admit they do. did it because of all the distress and money that it cost you. Yeah. I feel like if they admit it now, it's so many years have passed. Like, we're fine. Oh, okay. I would just really like to know.

That's an invitation. I mean, it would be fine. You won't be mad. No, I'm not going to be mad because so much of my life has happened since then. Are you kidding? Like what? Pizza days. I'd go back to those gladly.

You know? Any theory on who, right now, if you had to bet, somebody gave you one million dollars and said bet a million dollars free bet on who you think did it who do you think did it tag and daniel they swear they swear they're my friends they do a morning show in tolosa they used to work here they Daniel says he will get on a lie detector test okay then if it's not them it's lunchbox i think it's lunchbox too i did too and then he just will not admit it because amy had to move her house but now he can't admit it if he wants to he's smiling like really awkwardly right now let me say this because i don't want to stay on this for 10 years however

This is what I want to say. If anybody in this whole organization of us, right, the people that sit in this room, people that sit in the glass room, even the production room, because we got this show, we got a countdown that we do, we got, I have night shows I do, podcast. If anybody in the organization did it, I'm not, I leave at like noon or one or whenever I leave. Leave a piece of paper on my desk with a simple line drawn down the middle of it. Don't even say who you are. If you did it, you will not be out of it.

I just want to know if it was someone in this organization. Okay. That's all. I can leave the cameras running. No, see, don't do that. Don't do that. We don't want to do that. That's good.

Live stream. I won't do it. I want to do that. Let me give you another story. Now, this is not about you, but I wanted to bring up the pizza thing. And, you know, I told you that Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey's houses were burglarized, right? Right. And it was while they were playing a game.

So they knew they weren't at home. So now the NFL is telling all their players, hey, there's like a whole effort. Hey, there's like a whole effort, like a group that are targeting NFL players. Like they have decided that's who they're going after. They have a bunch of stuff. People obtained a copy of a memo sent by the NFL to team security going there are, there's an organized criminal group targeting the homes of professional athletes. There was also a guy named Bobby Portis for the Bucks plays basketball.

His house was burglarized. Yeah, I saw that too. I feel like this should just be like now. Yeah, it was like every sport. Put it out there. Like if you're, if you're on the PGA tour. whatever you're doing. Any sport.

Any sport. If you're like you're not going to be home and it's televised and it's a national thing. It's kind of scary. The perpetrators using public records to find the addresses of their pro athlete targets and conduct extensive surveillance before burglarizing the residents. See, this ain't no pizza. This is real stuff. This is no TIG and Daniel or lunchbox.

It could have been, I mean, dark course on Amy's situation. Ray. No. Dark course. Possibly. Because Ray's funny and does a little pranky prank sometimes, like Dark Horse, Ray. Although I don't even know what the word, Dark Horse has always been something that I've said and I didn't make it up. It means like somebody you don't expect but could win.

Don't know if that's something that we shouldn't say anymore. You know, sometimes you say phrases and you're like, wonder if this would get me canceled. Right. Dark Horse, a candidate or competitor about whom little is known, but who unexpectedly succeeds. Let's find the origin of Dark Horse. because there are certain things that I say. For example, you can't say you got jipped anymore. Oh, is it gypsies?

Yes. They get offended by that. It's yes. It's racing slang. The term began as a horse racing for a horse unknown to gamblers and to a stubble. Okay. It's horse related. We're good.

We're staying on. We're sticking away. Don't send pizzas to anybody. Correct. If anybody wants to admit that they did it, we don't even have to say it's you. I just want to know it was within these walls. I promise you, I'm not going to. be mad. That's so, like water under the bridge. Where does that saying come from?

Also, we should look that up. Because we don't want to get canceled. Right. Water under the bridge. I would think that is just literally like, that's not cancel. Like water flowing. Yeah, it comes from the ancient Greek saying and conveys the idea that past events should be put aside. That's okay. There we go. A river is constantly flowing. Therefore, once it's gone, you can't bring it back. Yes, I have float on. That's a weird way to say. of the first half of the podcast. On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick and Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers,

but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand. Better version of Play Stupid Games win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. But hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though.
