On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money.

Wake up, you wake up in the morning. And then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turn. It's on turn. Here's all turn. And here. Eddie and me lunchbox, Morgan 2. School.

Steve Reddavit's trying to put you through. Black Dies right in this week's next bit. Now Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is. This is the Bobby Vaughn's Stone. Morning studio. I am currently standing in a hotel in Gainesville, Florida. Waiting for my husband to get ready to go to his graduation. We both listen to your show every morning.

So I was calling. to see if maybe you can play this to congratulate him on graduating with his bachelor's degree. It has taken a very long time. He had some months in the road, but I'm very proud of him, and I'm very grateful that our son has such an amazing role model to look up to. Love you all. Thank you so much for everything you do. Let's go. Well, congratulations.

I wish we knew your name because we'd sing a little song for you. But if you're her husband in Gainesville graduating, a tip of the cap, a big shout out, a big back flip, all that stuff. Congratulations. Sir? Dang. No name, though. But a great role model. If you have a kid and you graduate it, this is for you.

If that's you, this bud's for you. You guys remember that. All right, let's go to Amy and get in the morning corny. The morning corny. What's a math teacher's favorite dessert? What's got? Pie. That's pretty funny.

3.1.2. That was the morning corny. You're close. Well, I did say 1-4, but we're. What is it 3.1? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I'm forgetting stuff as I'll age the little details.

There's a story about Garth Brooks and how obsessive he is about living a simple life. Now we've got some stories in this room as well. I'll tell you I'm the biggest Garth Brooks fan ever. So is Eddie. So we all are. But the story goes that Garth Brooks has half a billion dollars. But friends say that he lives his life like he doesn't have two nickels to rub together. Now, I don't know if that's true exactly.

He avoids, according to Closer Weekly, he avoids the trappings of fame and fortune. He and his wife rarely go anywhere exotic. They eat a decent amount of fast food. They drive economy cars. Quote, Garth borders on obsessive when it comes to living a simple life. Now, a couple things, one, Raymundo was married on Garth's property. Ramundo is basically Garth's godson. Fair?

Yep. Anything you'd like to say about this? I mean, that all sounds true, yeah. I don't see Mercedes Benzes or... Really? Not even like hiding up there. Bugatti's just old trucks. Tractors and crap. That's awesome.

That's wild. Except for like, didn't you say Ray has like a basketball gym in this property? Like a gym, yeah. Like a full basketball court? We don't have that. That's normal people. Yeah, but I would say that's like Kane Brown has a basketball court. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I would say, like, I don't know. I can't hold that against him. That's like you're in shape. Oh, I'm not. That's not like an airplane. I was going to say that's something when you resell it, it's still there. That's an investment. Yeah.

I don't know. You're, okay, I'll agree having a full indoor basketball gym. I guess I don't think of that one. I think of like luxury. I think of like brands. Scoobo Steve, you ran into Garth, the grocery store? Yeah, I see my public. So I won't say which one, but I see him there at least a couple of times.

Wow. Is it this crazy scuba. Scuba see, Garth Brooks and excuse me? And it's so mind-blowing. So I remember I was over in the produce area, getting fruits or whatever, and I hear this deep voice. And my son's like, bananas, yellow. And he's like, yeah, man, bananas are yellow.

And I look over as some guys talking. I'm like, oh, my God, there's Garth Brooks talking to my freaking son right now. They're talking about bananas and how they're yellow. And he gives me this emotional speech about how time is so important and spend time with your children because it's a blink of an eye. They can grow up. No way. And I was like, maybe this isn't Garth Brooks.

Maybe it's a look alike. And sure enough, he goes to another aisle and I hear some guys say, Hey, Garth, how's Trish doing? I'm like, oh, my God, he frequents this Publix. And so then I go out in the park lot looking for like a Phantom or a Rose Royce or something. And I won't say what SUV it is, but it's a very basic SUV with a G on it. Like, very normal. A G.

It's got a G on it. Well, his G logo is on the actual. I never even think he wouldn't want to have the G. No, that's a flex. I like that. But it's such a normal car. You wouldn't think it was him. You think it'd be a fan of Garth.

Maybe it's because there are so many generically like that. He puts a G to remember which one to get a G. in. Hey, we've all grabbed the door handle of the wrong one before. True, yeah. Garth Brooks gave your kid a life lesson at the grocery store? And me about to take time and enjoy my children. I'm like, dang, that's really cool.

What the heck is happening? And he goes to publics to buy his own groceries. Sometimes I think God. Well, this story is accurate from everything that we know as well. Garth Brooks is awesome. And when we first moved here, I was like, eventually Garth Brooks is not going to be nice and he's been super kind and nice and amazing every single time. Amy went to go pick up a bench that she got on Facebook Marketplace and then drama happened.

So I don't know how this turns out. So Amy's going to give us a scenario. And we guess what happened when Amy, you bought a bench on Facebook Marketplace. Yes. Walk us to it. Go. I mean, this is the most amazing bench. I have been looking at it on the actual website from the company.

And on Facebook, it's brand new, but it was half off. Okay. I was like, well, okay, deal. So I make the arrangements and I say I'm going to be there at 8.30 p.m. to pick it up because that's how long as it's going to take me to meet up with one of my friends. She's got the truck and then another friend was coming to help carry it. And I said I could be there by 830. With Facebook Marketplace, because I've never used that, do you pay there? Like, do you change money right then and there when you meet there?

You can do, yes, you can exchange cash. You can do Venmo. You can do whatever. Like, it's up to you. But most of the time, you don't give the money until you've received. So you don't pay ahead of time. The product. Got it.

You typically don't pay ahead of time. Okay. So 8.30 p.m. sounds a little late? It's a little late. Okay. Right. Go ahead. So I get a note that says, hey, we're thinking about going to the movie.

So I might put it on the porch since it's that time. So it'll be out there. You can just grab it and then send the VINMO. I'm like, okay. All right. Feeling a little suss already? Go ahead. Right.

But I'm like, oh, okay, well, this is good to go. So I'm just going to like send the VIN. We were in a nice neighborhood. Like where we were is a nice part of town. Okay. I had no reason to think anything was up. So we go, we pull up, there's no bench on the porch. I'm like, oh, I guess they didn't go to the movies.

But there's no lights on. So then I go ring the doorbell, nothing. And there's no bench on any porch on either side. No. There's just no bench. Yeah, I mean, from what we could see, it's just right where we were. It was dark. Okay, go ahead.

So then my friend's like, well, maybe you should, like, maybe just knock louder. ring again and something and it was a ring doorbell cam so I'm like they have us on video just being like totally confused or ridiculous and then finally this guy comes to the door and he's like hey you know can I help y'all and he's in his pajamas I'm like oh we're here to pick up the bench from Facebook Marketplace and he said what I don't have a bench from Facebook Marketplace and so and you've paid no money no we've the we've paid the money you have a paid the money because I was like on my way and I was just like let's just go ahead and hit send and I should have not

hit send but I thought it was going to be on the porch. Let's go and get it over with before I see the bill. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay so so okay. Hold the story. Hold the story. Okay Amy's looking for a bench that she bought on Facebook Marketplace. She paid for the bench ahead of time and now she's back to the house and the guy's like we don't have a bench here. Go ahead. Yeah. So then we're like okay we got scammed and I'm like y'all

I just a total scam. Now the whole movie thing makes sense and I just fell for it. And then he pauses and he yells back to his wife. And he's like, honey, did you sell a chair on Facebook Marketplace? And then I have three options for what happened next. And y'all can choose. It's like pick your ending. The wife ran at the door with the bench and said, yes, yes, we're selling this.

Here it is. We decided not to go to the movie. So I forgot to put it outside. And I also forgot to tell my husband. Okay, that's A? She came to the door and said, yeah, I have no idea. Y'all are talking about someone must have been posing as me and used my address. Like, how do we handle this?

Should we call the police? Like, this is really weird. That's B? C is me and my friends, we realized that we've hit the wrong house. And the people selling the bench were next door to this house. They're just like, I address and makes up. Okay, okay. Okay.

I think now I have it. I got mine. I think now because, It initially was going to be she got scammed, but now it's for sure you went to the wrong house. It's for sure. I bet how much I don't have, all of it. All my money, my wallet, you went to the wrong house. Are we really putting real money?

I'll put my money in it. C. I'll put my money in C because there was too many details in the first two. We all are picking C. You went to the wrong house. Is it C? No. We lost their money.

Oh my gosh. Wow. Good job. Good job, by the way, getting us in the story. Okay. Yeah. So it's either you got scammed or they forgot to put it on the porch and they forgot to go to the movies. There's no way they forgot to put it on the porch.

That part is weird. There's too many details. There's too many communications of you saying this, this, this, them saying, oh, we're going to go to the movies and then they're already in bed. That's weird. You got to scam. I'm going to go with A that where he's like, honey, do you forget? Like, well, who would forget all of that? I think it's got to be A.

I just don't think Amy is going to get scammed up Facebook Marketplace. I'm bringing it to the show this quick. You guys are going. Scam. Be. I have faith in you, Amy, so I'm going to go A. What is it? Well, guys, I have the bench in my house and it's beautiful.

It's A. The wife came to the door and was like, oh, shoot, I didn't tell you that I sold this on Facebook Marketplace. She's like, and we didn't end up going to movies, so I forgot to put it out, and then we were just getting in bed. And, yeah, so boom, got the bench. Good story. Worked out. That's a good job, Amy. Yeah.

Why would they not put that on the, even if they don't go to the movies? They didn't go. No, no. Even if they don't go to the movie, still put it on the porch because it's supposed to be on the I know, but I mean, I get it. And several hours have passed, and I'm the one that made it at 8.30 because I had to get the truck. That's late. But here's the thing.

Don't sleep on Facebook Marketplace. I check that thing every day and you never know what's going to pop up. And again, this bench I search and then, well, there it is. One day it's not there, next day it is, and I got a deal. Like, I can probably sell it, turn it around right now and sell it for a little bit more. This is not a commercial for Facebook.

Marketplace, everybody. No, not at all. Time for the new. Bobby's Big. Stories. A Florida State University studies found that adolescent boys who are hurt in just two physical fights suffer a loss in IQ. Some studies showed that this IQ loss is roughly equivalent to missing an entire year of school. Experts recommend settling a dispute with the counselor or an adult. The physical injury of getting hit. Oh my.

Even in two fights. And it makes sense when you think about it and go, the brain is receiving. trauma if getting punched. But yeah, even two fights. Now, if they're like seven, the hits don't really hurt that bad. But two. But a little older. Gosh.

Because adolescent's like 13. Okay. So 13, 14, when there starts to be strength. What's wild to me about fights is I have known a couple of people who have been in a fight where, okay, they get punched. But then they fall and they hit their head. And one was just a friend of a friend who died

because he hit his head on like the ground. and you're just like, I'm going to fist fight and punch somebody. And that punch turns into, and then it's like you're being charged with a crime. Much about her in Austin? Yeah. Yeah, that's why. Like, it was just a, it wasn't even like a crazy fight. It was like two people been drinking a little bit.

They get a fist fight, but he hit his head on the curb outside and he died. And that's why I don't fight. That's why. Well, I would get beat up every time, too. Other than that, yes. But I think that's good to hear. The Journal of Adolescent Health is like two. physical fights because you're getting punched.

Yeah, nobody here got punched punched as a kid. No. I got a punch on the shoulder a lot. I got to put my head in the toilet, but never I... Obviously not hit in the head because you definitely weren't held back mentally a year in your... But what if I was, I'd be like, like, seriously.

I play football, but also I don't like to get hit there either. I don't know. Now I'm thinking about kids in sports and getting hit. Jeez, Louise. So in football, so you ever see when I can practice or early before the season, they wear these things on top of their helmets or like extra padding. You ever see this? They're called Guardian caps? Are you familiar

at all? No. I can show you. I can show you like Arkansas. So it's the first time. So there was a player for the Colts. Jonathan Taylor was running back. He wore the Guardian cap on his helmet in a preseason game. I love it. Can't get enough of it. It looks like a cartoon because it's a little bigger, but it looks like the helmet. And with all the CTE, I'll show you during the break.

I hope more players wear that. I would wear like the Michelin Man costume out there. I just wouldn't be able to run very fast. But that would be fun. Pickleball. has surprising power. I'm a big pickleball guy. From the University of Miami, pickleball is exploding a popularity across the country

and one of the reasons why it fills you with joy. It does. It is fun because the floor is pretty high, meaning you can get okay at it pretty quick. Yeah. I played last week and... Isn't it so fun? Yeah, but I think I'm going to have to go to the chiropractor.

Yeah. Few too many reaches, like, reaches. You really got a stretch. For the ball. So, yeah, you're right. I have to stretch more. A study found that because pickleball can be played by most people, regardless of skill or athletic ability. It allows you to be your true self with others. Yeah, you can get okay. Pickleball pretty quick. Now, I've played like some of the really good people. It's different. They're amazing.

But, yeah, pickleball's a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun. I just like to play, though, and I don't really care about keeping score. That's the worst thing I ever. No, it's fun to like just. We're about to get in a fist fight right here. It's just fun to, like, you know, rally or volleyball. And you're healthy like that, where everything doesn't have to be a competition? No, I think most people want to keep score, but I just want to hit the ball back and forth. The top 10, most well-behaved dog breeds, 10 American Bulldogs, 9 York Terriers, Poodle, Boston Terrier, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever.

Jake got Jake Owen got a German Shepherd as well. Oh, really? Yeah, that's pretty cool. I'm a little jealous. Those are cool dogs. I know. Four, a cane corso, a Shih Tzu at 3. Rottweiler at 2, and a lab at 1.

and when they do worse behaved, I just throw it away. But yours was English bulldogs? Yeah, we just throw it away. We don't worry about the worst behaved. Because English bulldogs right up there. Here's the thing. I know he can hear me sometimes. I know because he will mind.

We have tricks. English bulldogs do not mind, but we have tricks. And I can do things with just my hands. He knows sign language. And at times he will do every sign that I give him. If he may go one finger down, he'll come here. Two finger down, he will go there. I can sing the pee song.

He knows to go pee and not. So we have all these little tricks, right? P song? The P, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, he goes outside. Okay. I do bits with the dogs, you know? Yeah, yeah. But there are just times where he won't even look up.

Like last night, Eddie and I went to Baltimore for a baseball card event, which we can't wait to talk about it. Dear God. So, so I came into the house. last night because anybody that drives up, he barks like crazy, like he's going to save the house. I walked in, the door opened, I walked in the house. He never looked up. Big noise, big noise, big noise.

I walked by where his food was to make sure Caitlin had fed him and she had, and I just touched the door very silently. Just looked up, he was up, ready to see what was it. He didn't give a crap about somebody breaking in the house. Cup of food? Ready to go. Yeah. I think he knew it was you, though?

No, because the door was big and loud. No, it's weird. No, it's not weird. No, no, no. I feel like they know, they know it's us because my dog will bark at anybody that even gets close to the door and comes in. And when I come home, nothing.

They must smell us from far away. Or maybe they know the sound of your car. Yeah. No, no, I'm going to tell you why. That's not true. And I'll leave with this. Because I parked a Hyundai outside the garage and just came through the door. Oh.

Okay. Anyway, Stanley, if you're listening, buddy, you're not because you don't. Listen to anything. An Illinois school worker gets nine years for $1.5 million chicken wing heist. Remember this? Lunchbox, you'd remember this? Yeah, she was selling the chicken wings on the black market.

She stole 11,000 chicken wings, sold them on the black market. It was the height of COVID, and now she gets nine years in prison. She was ordering all these wings and then never used them at the school. Why would you buy chicken wings off the black market? Because, well, no, no, no, no. Like why can't just go to the grocery store? Hold on. You're asking two different questions and answer.

you're saying, Amy, why would she buy them? She's not buying them from the black market. She was selling them on the black market. Yeah. So she would order them normally. Like through the school's account. It is right saying she had access to all these wings that she could then sell. Okay, got it.

So Eddie, then to answer your question. So I'm the buyer. So you're the dumb one. Amy, you're the smart one here. Thank you. Yes. No, no, I'm the buyer. I know.

Why not just go to the grocery store? Way cheaper. Did you have a cheaper? How much cheaper? That's funny. Eddie's spicy hot chickens all from the black market now? Yeah, but no. That seems a little extreme, though, nine years.

She stole a lot of chicken. It's not the chicken. It's the $1.5 million theft. And so I'm sure she won't do nine. But, yeah, I mean, if we go, like, she's going to prison for 10 years for chicken wings. That seems a little crazy. But if you go, somebody stole $1.5 million for a bank robbery. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, but, like, yeah, I know. It's just like they're going to be at the same prison. Right. It seems a little crazy. Yeah. She won't do nine years. years, especially if she does not have a, but she also might have a record. True.

Like she might have had done a corn dog heist back in the day. Yeah. You know, now it's chicken wings. That's the news. There it is. Those were Bobby's B. Stories. I mean, I'd like to apologize.

Your part was not dumb. It was just Eddie's was extra dumb. My mind why you would buy? Yeah, yeah, you're just extra dumb. Okay. You're rusty. You haven't been here in a couple weeks. Yeah, I don't want to do it.

You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. and then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationship. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.

We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make

mistakes. What Kugler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean, like, the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Does law a rouset. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. 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. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Poll show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Four American Airlines flight attendants were injured last week during turbulence. It got so bad. Oh, this is torture. Okay, see, this is bad.

Turbulance has become more of a problem. The crew members on the fly is like Tampa to Charlotte. This is like normal. Oh, not even that far. No, not even like India. That floor flight attendants, boom, they hit. They go to the hospital. Luckily, they told everybody to fasten their seatbelts.

I don't like it. I hate it. And I know they're like, you're safe. Okay, then why are they hurt? Yeah, that's a good point. Were they buckled or were they still trying to be. No, it's working, Amy. They're working, trying to be the good Americans. You know what?

I'm sorry. It's because you dinged and asked for a cup of water. That's right. You had to have your cup of water. Me? That's from Fox News. I don't like it because sometimes it hits and people aren't even ready. I keep the seatbelt on all the time. What if you have to go to the bathroom?

That's when I worry about it. Like if you're sitting on the toilet and turn that sits and your head hits the top. Oh, it'd be terrible. That's, here's another one. And again, this is America. There are some phrases nobody ever wants to hear while they're on a plane. One of them is that the pilot is not qualified to land the plane. What?

Oh, yeah, this is weird. Wait, wait, wait, wait. During an August 8th, Alaska Airlines flight, a passenger reported announcement coming through the plane speaker system in which the pilot apologized because the flight had to be diverted to Salt Lake City because the pilot did not have proper qualification to land in Jackson Hole. So how did he get on the plane? Well, we had qualifications to land elsewhere. But they know where they're going. You got to say, hey, dude. I think because they had to divert it in the place they were diverting it to,

he didn't have qualifications to land, which could have meant the runway wasn't. I don't know. I hate flying. But I'm saying he was planning, the flight was supposed to go to Jackson Hole. And he was the main pilot flying them to Jackson Hole. And then when they're on their way, they realize, oh, wait, this pilot can't land there. So they got to go somewhere else. how do you assign him to that flight?

Uh-uh. They should refund everybody's money. It seems like that would be the case, but it just can't be. Like, logically, something had to happen where they were having to land at a different airport. Yeah, like, I really thought when I saw that story that they were supposed to land somewhere else. And then it's like, oh, we're going to have to divert here. But like, oh, sorry, can't do that because I'm not qualified to land. But also.

Then they'd go to a different airport. No, no, it sounds like me. They were going on vacation to Jackson Hole and they had to be diverted. Imagine. The guy's like, I'm not qualified to actually even get up here. Yeah. Like, how did I get this seat? I was wondering how I got on the schedule. I just booked the ticket to fly and here I am, open the cockpit.

You know, like, regardless, shouldn't the pilot know how to land anywhere? No. It's not about knowing. It's not about what you know, because you can know how to drive a car, but if you don't have a license. It's like what you're qualified to do. Once on the ground, safely in Utah, the passengers were forced to wait on the tarmac for 90 minutes while a new pilot came to finish the journey. Nope. Finish the journey.

So part of the Jackson Hole thing was there were severe weather issues and possibly the training requirements for landing at that place because of the weather. Gotcha. You need to know how to land in every kind of weather if you're flying people around. Exactly. And if you're on that route, you should be. And if it's so bad. Yeah, that's, see, this is why we shouldn't fly.

We should go back to trains. All the trains all the time. Amy, some of this article, the length of your food orders, because this is somebody who said this, it keeps you poor. Oh, yeah. It's like it popped up in my feet on Instagram and it caught my attention because sometimes I, you know, stare at the menu board. I'm like, wait a second. So what are they saying before we played the club?

That if it takes you a long time to order. That like when it comes to work or your career, like if you can't make decisions quickly or you don't have self-awareness because people are waiting behind you, stuff like that, then you're not going to be successful. The lady in front of you takes four centuries to order a coffee and a muffin. What I realize very quickly is, you know, if you want to get something, you know, if you want to get something. something done, you give it to a busy person. That's why they say you should take somebody to dinner before you hire them or see how quickly they make decisions. Because people who take forever to order when they stand in line, one, are really comfortable

inconvenience in somebody else, which means they have limited self-awareness, maybe borderline narcissism. And then simultaneously, they're not very efficient at the things that don't really matter. And so if we know we are here for a finite amount of time, why spend so much time on that? So I can give this a B-plus. I can't give it a full A because I go to people. I take people to dinner or we go to dinner and they take. take a long time and they're actually quite successful.

But I will say that indecisiveness is really the enemy of accomplishment and success. I think successful people in general will choose and be okay with it being wrong rather than not choose at all. Because if you don't choose at all, you're in the exact same place. If you make a decision and it goes wrong, at least you have learned something from it and you can start over with the knowledge that you did not have when you did nothing. So I think there's something to that. But to go, man, we went to Chick-fil-A and they took 41 minutes.

Well, that person's not successful in life. But like six minutes. Yeah, that's a little lower. I feel like the narcissism part was a little stretched. Like, what if they have an ADD or they just really are indecisive that day? There's hormones happening. I would say, though, that if you are always the person who is late, oh, I can't start getting more on this person's side. I feel it, though, in me that if you're always the person who has this problem, you can look ahead.

I look ahead at almost every menu that I, if I'm going to a restaurant. Same. Because I don't want to hold anybody up and I want to eat. Also, when I go, you guys have been to dinner with me. There are two things I like to do. When we sit down, would you like drinks? Yes, we would. And we're going to go in order or two, please.

And the check while you're at it. Yeah, in the check. And it's not because I don't like, I don't, not because I don't like you guys. But I like to, when I get there, I want to eat. You're a little too efficient. And then when it's over, I don't, I like my last chew to be swallow out the door. So, yeah, it's a little weird. And you're successful.

Well, you've gone to dinner with our CEO. How does he order? Like fast or he's taking a long time? Good point. I will say that folks that are busy often have things to do pre and post whatever they're doing now. So if we're going to like a work lunch or a work dinner, dinner is a little different because on the backside, there's a little more free time. It's we're in at this point. We're out at that point.

I treat it the same way. it is borderline unhealthy at times. But I can see the narcissism thing where you're like, if you're online, it's like, I don't know. Or if you're in your car, just looking over the menu forever, you do get some grace period to look over, especially if you haven't been. But again, if you're going to Chick-Flein,

you've been 100,000 times, or you're going to Sonic and you know what you're going to get and you end up getting the same thing every single time, there's no need to continue to look at the menu. Well, if you are having one of those days you're indecisive, you can be self-aware and say, hey, why don't you go ahead of me and let the person cut?

That way you can take the time you're holding people up. I don't think you taking a little longer at the drive-through keeps you poor. I think generally if you're an indecisive person, that probably holds you back in areas. I think that is probably the best way to describe it because, and I wrote a whole book called fail until you don't, which is just get in because as long as you get in, it's better to make the wrong decision than make no decision at all because at least you've learned something. and also don't spend a whole much of time at Chick-fil-A, although they do sometimes, like, what do you want? I don't know, there's on a menu.

When they do that, sometimes, and they come up with the thing, and it's like, I already know what I want, but I mean, you can be 15 seconds, I'll get into menu, but they come up with the pad, and they're like, all right, sorry, what would you like here? I literally just pulled it in the parking lot. That's a little tough. Yeah, Chick-fil-A definitely, like,

I wonder how that meeting went. It's like, we don't even need menus anymore. Like, let's just go ahead and get rid of that. People know what they want here. And let's do two lanes, because they do the double lane now. Hey, it's efficient. It takes forever. You can't hardly get in any chick-fley at lunch now,

because especially if it's a bad spot where it's like pulling in out of traffic, because you're holding all the traffic up. And there's two lanes, but they manage that thing pretty good where it ends up weaving in at the end, and they know exactly who you are. It's pretty cool. But they have a point, but they're a little crazy, and I'm okay with it.

Thank you. I have this invite to go to this, like, secret baseball card club, baseball card society thing last night. Eddie and I flew to Baltimore after the show. and I was very excited. I don't get excited about much. And as I'm going up to it,

there's an email that's like, you have to dress. We knew you had to dress nice because it was like a formal dinner and we knew there could be, and lunchbox had guest Cal Ripkin. And I was like, and I was like, I don't know,

I don't think it's going to be Cal Ripkin. I think it'll be bigger. So I'd like to acknowledge something about that. Just a second. And so we go and I get the email and it's like you have to wear, it's called smart business casual, no tennis shoes.

Well, Eddie and I have buttonups on, but we have tennis shoes on. And so we're debating on my Instagram. There's a Marshalls eight minutes away. We're like, do we need to go buy dress shoes? We need to walk down to marshals and buy shoes. And we're like, screw it.

We're just going to go on our tennis shoes. And if they kick us out, they kick us out. But I was so excited. I was very excited. I didn't know what was going to happen. Maybe Cal Ripkin, I thought on the lower end, even though he's a great, I thought that would be too down the middle.

Cal Ripkin played for the Baltimore Orioles. We were in Baltimore. The event was at the Baltimore Oriole Baseball Park. So it would make sense, right? Yes. But I was like, surely it would be Babe Ruth or something. Even though he's dead. All right.

Hologram. Yeah, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson. Somebody awesome. That would be cool. We saw a helicopter coming in. Oh, yeah. That's when we got pumped because we were like, where they dropping off. Turned out it was like an ambulance.

Starfleet or something. Yeah, somebody was dropping off somebody where, yeah. So we walked to the ballpark from the hotel because we landed. They provided us hotel rooms. Not for free because it was a tough ticket to get. Well, that's something to say, like, you got the opportunity to buy a ticket. A bit of both I got invited

And I found a ticket for Eddie because I did not want to go by myself Yeah And there wasn't a plus one right No if you had a ticket you had no plus ones We get there And I posted pictures of people that were around us I'm a nerd for a lot of things I love sports cards baseball cards

And so we get there I feel pretty strong about us being the coolest guys there I never feel that way. Yeah. So yesterday I was concerned that, you know, you were going into some like, you know, rich person weird thing. No, no, no. Well, the rich person, no. No, no, no.

But I was featuring you being like, it's like the secret society where they're all like, yes. And then I saw you post a picture and I was like, I'm not worried. This is, you're not, you're not going to be taking advantage of or tied up. You're good. Good. Did you feel like when you walked in, you were like, oh my goodness, this is like, start. Wars meets Comic Con meets like Rec League softball guy meets like people

that just came out of their parents' basement for the first time. I mean I am also a nerd so it's hard for me to say that. I saw the videos I was like oh my goodness you guys are dorking like dorks of dorks. It was really cool because we were like talking to card shop owners people who break on like ticked. So we get there. I was so excited. It's kind of lame.

Cow Ripkin did not show up. It wasn't like Cal Ripkin. So I will say that if you're a diehard fan, you probably thought it was kind of cool. But it was two young players, but both awesome. Adley Rushman, who's a catcher, Gunner Henderson, who was a rookie last year, is like number two MVP race. But I just thought it was going to be somebody like a Jeter. Or even to lunchbox. And I'd like to apologize.

I was like, it's going to be bigger than the Cowrickton. It wasn't. We would have taken Colorado. Wait, those are the only two guys that showed up. That's it. And so they sat up in two seats with some guy in a polo and he asked him questions. And they did a little interview. And then they were like, would you guys like to ask questions?

And so, and they fed us. First of all, we got in this room and it's like a mingle. And it's all like middle-aged men in polos. Yeah. Like how many chicks? I didn't see one. They were like four, but they all worked there. They were like working for the place.

It really was nuts. But that's okay. We didn't care about. What did you guys talk about like these? Cards. cards. One guy that has a place in Knoxville. Like I'm doing a charity like breaking

like a ripping card ripping thing with Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. We talked about that. Like I'm trying to turn my hobby into something that also gives it back. And so it was sweaty. There was no air condition. It's brutal for a while. And in the air? For like 45 minutes if there was no air condition in this room

we ran with like 80 other dudes. So we're like, oh my God, what do we get ourselves into? So we go into this big room and we're sitting at a table. We kind of made friends. I like the guys we were with. You made friends? Yeah, they're cool guys. They're from New York.

Is their screen names? No, they didn't have screen names. No, but I do know their breaking name though because they do break cards, yeah. I thought you guys would chat. Like, what's the venue? Because I'm picturing you in like a little... We were at Camden Yards, which is the baseball. Baseball.

Oh, that's right. Okay. But it's like a little gathering room where you have dinner. So it wasn't even baseball-y. So we're up. And so the two guys are sitting up in two chairs. There's a guy interviewing them. They's like, what was it like?

Because of minor leaguer, they started going around the room. and so there were a couple kids in there and they could have asked a perfect kid question Hi, what was your favorite hit as Little Leagueer? Great answer. Then they'd go to some guy who's like, hey, you ever meet Rod Karoo? It was like a player from the 70s.

And Eddie's like, you have to ask a question. I'm like, well, I don't want to ask a question. What am I going to ask them? You're going to ask me, hey, what do you think about us nerds getting together and you guys hadn't to sit up here and talk to us? Well, that would have been a question because I did feel like a nerd. I was part of that group. I did feel like that was.

I felt like Eddie was a little out of place because Eddie is not as nerdy as I am about this. I'm not a collector like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But Eddie goes, because both of them were in the All-Star game this year. He goes, ask him if they knew who won the Celebrity All-Star MVP. I was like, it's perfect. So you played against them?

No, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, they played the real All-Star game. Yeah, I played the Celebrity game. They have no idea what that is. I thought it was, honestly, I thought the Celebrity All-Star game was celebrities playing. It was. Tell your friends that. I won MVP.

No, they played the real one, which, It was like Monday. We played the Saturday night celebrity game. Gotcha. Okay. And so I'm like, but we were so bored. And because there was just questions and the food. It's fine.

And so, but we flew all. It was just as a mess. Yeah, look, it was down the street. I know. It would have been fun. The expectations were Lou Gehrig was going to be there, that there was going to be AC. The players are really good young players.

Guys, we flew all the way to Baltimore. We flew all the way to freaking Baltimore. So they're young to where. Could they grow to be legends? Yes, but we don't care. We're not investing right then. Remember when? We got to hang out a band. It said legends.

It's like getting to play, you know, a cover band walks in. Oh, they could be good one day. That's true. Come on. No, you want the Beatles. So we go. Right. No, but they're ballers.

They're both right now. They're awesome players right now. But I wouldn't say they're big names for someone who's not a massive baseball fan. So we go. and I'm like, I'm asking a question. Fine. I'm just going to ask it. Because I was like, we'll record it for the show. At least I can get a bit for the show. And I was going to be like, hello, fellow All-Star here. I'm just wondering if my tape from the celebrity game was able to get to you guys and motivate you for the real game.

Like I was going to be, and nobody was going to get the joke, but it was just going to be, it's going to fall awkward silence. And to us, we're going to have some audio to bring in today. Because we were getting bored. They never came to me. I was the only one they never came to for a question. Amy, they went to like two kids. They went to hear his hand. There were two people walking on the microphone. and I'll be like, hello over here.

And then we just keep dodging me. I never got to ask a question. Oh, my gosh. Do you think that they were purposely ignoring you? I don't know. They were like, oh, maybe let's not go to the least nerd. I mean. No, I'm pretty nerdy too.

That's not going to say. So, and then they were like, okay, you guys, we'll take pictures. We'll call you by tables and you can go take a picture with. You didn't even get individuals? Stop! Stop! I'm not sure. You had to have other nerds in there with you?

We don't know. We don't know because we left. We left. Because it was going to be. be a 30 minute wait to get a picture and we were like, we just want to go home so we just got, we just flew back home. And weren't they shocked when you told them we were leaving?

Oh, they were like, what, you're not staying? I'm like, no, no, we're good. We really appreciate it. Did you get a party favor? They gave us some cards in a bag with some baseball cards. And that was neat. Wait, were those cookies on your fight? Did you get... I ate the cookie immediately because I was starving.

They made us wait in a sweaty room forever. And as soon as I sat down, ate all the cookies at the table. Before dinner. Yes, I was like, I just, I need to eat a cookie. It's on my Instagram. Mr. Bobby Bones. Like, how was the, like, socially awkwardness of the other guys? Like, was it, like, socially awkward?

I liked it because that's how I feel every room I'm in. And I could tell all of us were kind of like, oh. I think Eddie was the healthiest conversationalist in the whole place. I am awkward around other people. And I think I was part of that group. I think that it was, I don't know, it just wasn't good. It wasn't a good. So, Amy, yesterday when we made fun of them and how nerdy it was going to be, we were, we nailed it.

You know, and we were 100% right. The nerdiness I don't have a problem with because I am a nerd for certain things. I just thought there would be air conditioning Cal Ripkin at least. At least. And like, I get to ask a question. I want anything.

We flew all. It was a disaster. So anyway, I'm done. Except I'm going to Fanatics Fest this weekend in New York. Yeah, yeah. Which they were all going too. Yeah, everybody there was like,

Stop it. Everybody. Oh my gosh, we're reunited. See you're going back. Hold on. Hold on. Let's reunite New York. A lot of people were like,

if they came from like the eastern part of America, oh my God. They drove up through. Baltimore and they were like, you guys going to Fanatics Fest in New York? And we're like, yeah, I'll see you there. Because we have a stage. To be fair, I love it so much. We have a stage at this place.

And we have like, what does that mean? We have 40 athletes that are coming by to the podcast. Very famous people. And so we have interviews booked with Cam Newton, Gronk, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, the actor? No, no, the real player. Plaxico Burris. That makes sense.

We have Andre Dawson, Ozzie Smith, Vinnie Testeverty, C.C. Sabati. Like all these people are coming to our stage to do our show. Okay. But it was, we'll see you there. We were like inviting them to come hang out with us. No, yeah, yeah. Because they weren't. We liked everybody there.

But I was just like, this is so underwhelming. We made friends. Yeah. That part was cool. The people, we didn't get kicked out for our shoes. But there was no AC. I didn't get to ask the question. And Cowherkin wasn't there.

Yeah. So that's all. I'm just glad you made it back home. And one. Me too. I just, where you left and where you were on. I just wanted to get home. Yeah.

I just wanted to get home. So that was our baseball card night experience. So how long did you spend with these people? What? Four hours? Three hours? Yeah, it was a long. It was a good time.

You stayed that long? Well, so first of all, wait a way to wait outside in the heat for like 30 minutes as they checked us in and gave us our bracelet. And they handed us people ever said beef on it. That's what we're eating beef. They didn't want to mix us up. They didn't want to fix us up. Yeah, there was Croft. There was a crab.

Crab. There was beef. So they were like, okay, which one? Are you beef? I'm beef. We had to carry a sign that said beef. I had to walk around with a big sign that beef for like an hour. Wow.

Man, thanks for inviting me, Bo. You're welcome. And last night we were home and, and, Eddie was like, thanks for inviting me, but a little bit I knew. He was like, why did you invite me? It was like a mix of both. Right. But also.

I mean, it's a fun memory. Yeah, it is a fun memory. Yeah. Like, you'll look back and laugh. Yes. Will you? And we're laughing now. And we'll see a Fanatics Fest this weekend.

So that's what's up. We had a, we had a, we had a, time. We had a time. We went to Baltimore. I really thought that they were going to bring out somebody big. And they were going to be big in the future. But for that, I thought they were going to have somebody like, did.

We said Jeter, A-Rod, maybe. Like, did they have to pay those people to come by? I'm sure Tops or Fanatics did a little sumpta for them. Yeah. Anyway, so that's our experience. And I still love, people were great. It was just a couple of those elements. So that was our experience.

Thank you all for listening. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience

rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of IHeart Media, and I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing. Math and Magic takes you behind the scenes of the biggest businesses and industries while sharing insights from the smartest minds in marketing. I'm talking to leaders from the entertainment industry to finance and everywhere in between. This season on Math and Magic, I'm talking to CEO of

Liquid Death Mike Cesario, financier and public health advocate Mike Milken, take two interactive CEO, Strauss-Zalnik. If you're unable to take meaningful creative risk and their before we're on the risk of making horrible creative mistakes, then you can't play in this business. Sesame Street CEO Sherry Weston and our own chief business officer, Lisa Coffey. Making consumers see the value of the human voice and to have that guaranteed human promise behind it really makes it rise to the top. Listen to math and magic, stories from the frontiers of marketing on the IHart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and digital, tech and the future of humanity. The hosts always act like they know what they're talking about, and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Cougler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean it to like the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Does La Crosette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.

It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying.

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. Listen to the Nick Dick and Paul show

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So this is one of those, Does it sound like it would taste good? Amy has told me about a cheddar cheese on apple pie concoction. Is it a full pie? Yes, picture an apple pie warm with a slice of melted sharp white cheddar cheese. Where did you see this?

No, I had it. It was served. Oh, so it wasn't like a crazy TikTok thing. No. Got it. No. Guys, I'll eat an apple, like out of the fridge. Like, I'll slice it up and put a little cheddar cheese with it. I feel like that's pretty good.

That is pretty good. Like at Starbucks, I get the little thing with apples and cheese and boiled eggs. That makes sense. Right. But I don't know. Melted cheese on top of an apple pie never had that concoction, but it's the same. It's like this perfect little combo together, at least for me. Like I thought it was so good.

So definitely try it out, but some people might think it's weird. How did you stumble into eating that? Oh, yeah, no. I was invited to a dinner. That's how they served it. Dang, fancy? Is it like our baseball card dinner? I wouldn't call it fancy at all.

They made an apple pie and melted cheddar cheese on the house. Cal Ripkins at that dinner. And we're like, oh, God. Like how their family has always done it. Dang. And I was like... Sounds disgusting. No, it's amazing.

I don't think I like to sound of it initially, but when you explain the apples and cheese already, then I bet it it's good. Yeah. Another thing is... Wait, are you hurt? Do you have fractures? Do you have complex fractures in your body?

Was it you talking about this? Oh, no, that's math. Oh, I totally thought Amy had fractures in her body. You mean fractures? Fractions. You wrote fractures? Not bad. No, no.

Well, words are hard too. Math is hard, words are hard, complex fractions are hard. Fractions. I thought you had like complex fractures. And I didn't know if you had me to bring it up on the show. Okay, so you're healthy. You're fine. Yeah, my body's fine, but my brain is not when it comes to complex fractions.

Is this one of those new math things? It's seventh grade math to be exact. And I'm not here for it at all. Like it's, and I don't understand it. And I, as a mom, I know teachers don't want us to say to our kids, like, you're never going to use this, you know? But you're not. It's true. But I'm not saying that.

So I'm being clear, it's just in my head. And I am trying to help my son figure it out. And I am Googling. And I'm going to, like, I'm literally typing in the entire problem into Google. Like the exact, like Sally was driving 10 miles an hour with one and three fourths tank of gas or whatever. I don't know. And then the problems show up. Like people, other people have typed it in.

I'm like, oh. But can you not do what you used to do where you find a common denominator and then build back? Or is this something new math? That is what you have to do. But it's like this process. Yes, I just have to check my work. So is this not new math? This is just old math you also used to be bad at.

They do it. Math has not ever been a strong point for me at all. I believe when we had the woman come in and Ms. Kelly helped us with our dyslexia. Like she also said, I have discalcula, which numbers are very difficult. And so I just want to, you have to show your work and check your work. And I'm stressing out because my son wants to get it right. And I'm also trying to teach him.

And it's only the second week of school. And I'm like, I need a tutor. I think where I was confused was we had recently talked about new math and the ways that kids are learning now that's different than how we used to learn. And I thought that compound fractures, which is now fractions, was a new way they were teaching fractions. but I guess you did not do well with fractions to begin with. Right, but now I know, yeah, you have to multiply the ones on the bottom and then

the one on the top and then bring it up and then... I could have worked with you on that. Hey, is that for your son? Yes. Question about your son? No. Question about your son. Can I just give him that PlayStation 5 as a birthday present now?

No, this is... Stop. I... Wait, did he not get that? I knew you were going to be... Oh, yeah, I gave it to immediately. No, I knew you were going to be irresponsible with this. Did he work for it?

How is it? learning anything from this. Okay. He knows that he had a... That's fine. That's fine. I'll still put him to work. But I haven't been as available at home to give him work to do and he just had a 14th birthday and I was like, okay, fine. Well, I mean, if that's, if you're listening to Stevenson, sorry, I try to give two for free, buddy. If that's what you want to do, I mean, that's quite, no, you just said I was irresponsible. It's a birthday present. No. What do you want me to do? Because I'm happy just to go happy birthday. If you still want me to put him to work, I will. Okay, I can make a deal with you. right now. Go ahead. I'm listening. You can say, happy birthday, but you need to work off some things

for your mom. I don't want to be involved in that. It's not a birthday. I don't want to be involved in what I don't know. And my mom's going to hold that against him forever for like 11 things and he's going to hold me accountable. If you like give me, here's the, I'm happy to negotiate with you. If you give me like one thing you need him to do or like two things you need him to do with a time limit on it, I can say, hey, but I don't feel like it's fair to him to go, hey, listen to your mom for three more years and then we're even. Okay, it doesn't have to be that extreme, but okay, all right, I'll think about it. And I can still put him to work.

I'm just not, haven't been home enough. And I wanted to take a machete to the backyard and create a trail. Yeah, but he's 14 now. And when you're 14, you should get your first machete. Okay, but that seems like more of a life skill that he needs, learning how to use a machete. versus compound or complex or whatever these fractions are. He needs to quit school, then go machete. We do.

Like, why, where does this come in handy? I don't know that the actual process of fractions comes in handy, but having to develop problem solving. I can give you that. Because I've never. How about a real life problem? Mortgage. Yeah, health insurance, you know?

Yeah, like let's be there all stuff, like real things. Like I just. Just. You just what? You could gift him a tutor for his birthday, a math tutor. That's what you could get him. Can you imagine? That's like socks.

Like socks of Christmas. Underware. Like you need him, but it's like, what the crap? This isn't a gift. Or I could gift him a PS5 and make him work for a tutor. We had a FaceTime another mom. Golly. Is that embarrassing for you?

That's bad. I bet you that mom has many other. the ways that she has to do the same thing for other people, with other people. I don't think there should be any shame in that. Thanks. It's Raphael here. Slide embarrassment, but no shame. Right, right, right, right. Because I'm sure that mom has to use resources in a similar way for different things. Yeah, we all do. Yeah. There is a new Bobbycast, and this one's interesting and different. We did a roundtable episode with Drew Baldridge, who has, she's somebody's daughter, a song's probably about to be in number one, Eddie, myself, and Chris Owen, who used to work in radio,

but now works for, like a publishing company. He was like a savant when it comes to to, like, music and charts. Like, it's all in his head like Rain Man. So this is Chris Owen talking about, just randomly, the Rascal Flat song, Life as a Highway, and how that was never actually a single. Here you go. The Cars movie came out, and their version's really good,

and Dations just started playing it. Lyrics, their label, put my wish out to radio after me and my game as the official single, and radio's like, we don't care, we're still going to play this one. We will also play that one, but we're still going to play live as a highway. You ask any average fan, they think Life is a Highway. Oh, 100%. And it is their biggest hit,

but it never even got top 10. So it wasn't a top 10 song. It was never put out of the radio single. And he's like, you'll never believe this, 1984, but he's just like in awe. He's so smart. Drew Baldridge talks about stations being hesitant to play his song. She's somebody's daughter because it's a ballad.

Now it's a top three song and he's the one that had to create his own record label just to get anybody to pay attention to him. Because this was always a big thing for us, but she's somebody's daughter like, well, it's a ballad and we don't play ballads. I had some people tell me straight up, we don't play ballads on our station. And then I was sitting with a radio guy one time and he said, hey man i got the 50 best songs of all time written down on my phone i was like it really he's like yeah check him out and he pulled up the songs jumped to me i started reading him down i was like dude

you know what's crazy he said well i said all those are ballads he was like oh my gosh you're right and i was like without ballads what is country music amen brother so we just kind of had a round table talking about music but this was not music at all and aside from music eddie was blown away at a fact about buffalo wings but you're telling me wings are from buffalo like that's why they're called Buffalo wings? Yeah. They're not from Buffaloes. I mean, there's a like OG spot there. Yeah, it's invented in Buffalo, right? Yeah, I did mind blown.

I did not know that. So the actual sauce and everything and, you know, butters and Franks Red Hot. Buffalo wings are from Buffalo, New York. Did you guys know that? Yes. No. Buffalo sauce? Never even thought about it. So like chicken wings are what they're called. But if you use the buffalo sauce, so

it's a sauce that's from Buffalo. Yeah. Buffalo sauce. Search for that. Bobbycast. A lot of music talk in there, but also that. Buffalo Wink. Search for that wherever we listen to your podcast or on IHartRadio. Bobby Bone Show. Story up the day.

This story comes us from Savannah, Georgia. A 34-year-old man was working in McDonald's, training to be a manager when, man, the McDonald's was way too crowded, just too busy. He's like, I'm going to get some of these people to leave. So he got some cardboard, went outside to the dumpster, lit the cardboard on fire, threw it in the dumpster, in, boom! I saw the story. I didn't know

that's why they did that. Yeah. To get people to leave because it was too busy. Yeah, I was just too busy with people and he was like, man, I need some people out of here. So he lit the fire and now he's going to be

in prison for five years. Wait, I feel like that's a bit drastic. I agree. I think that's a little too much time. Unless he has like 84 offenses ahead of time. Yeah, I doesn't say that, but he has to pay money back

for all the damage he caused and he has to serve five years in prison. Yeah, it's a weird decision. Surely he won't serve five years. Like the judge is going to be like, we're going to give you like 90 days and you scrub all the toilets and McDonald's all through the county. Yeah, but he was in manager training. So he went from almost manager to prison. Like the reverse. Right. Like a good story. He's in prison and now he's a manager. It's the opposite. All right, thank you. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

Morgan thinks the lunchbox gave her a rash. Now, normally I would go, okay, this is somebody looking for a bit? Here we go. Morgan is really not a bit hunter Meaning there's some people on the show That will look for anything as content Just to get on the air Morgan is not a bit hunter She's not

And also lunchbox is known for bringing in illness After illness into the studio So Morgan what's up? Well so he came in and he was like I have all these rashes all over me And then shortly after Amy was like I also have one and I was like Oh gosh, do I have any?

Turns out I do One on my face And I've never had a rash like this ever in my life I've been totally fine and I even reached out to a doctor and they're like, it comes from like touching other people or whatever. I'm like, are you for real? Have you touched them? Is it air?

You're touching the same handle. Door handle stuff. Yeah, it's like on the bacteria and they're like that's typically how this spreads. It can be easily fixed but it came from touching a specific bacteria and I was like the only other person I've been around that's had a rash is lunchbox. He always has something.

A cough, a rash. A disease. Pink eye. His kids are sick too. a lot. For sure. And it's like he takes it and brings it right in

special delivery. What is tuberculosis fall? Tuberculosis happened where he gave it to the yeah. Anything you'd like to say. I'd like to say

that it's been like a month since I had a rash so Morgan's rolling around in the bed with some guy I don't what's his name? Did you ever go to the doctor for your rash?

Yeah. You went to the doctor. No, we had a doctor call in. Exactly. Let's catch him in his lie here. Let's catch him in his lie. Maybe that's where I got confused. Maybe I just heard the doctor call in.

And I was like, oh, see, I'm good. That counts us going to the doctor. And that doctor told you to go to the doctor because you likely had shingles. You always have something. I mean, with kids, they bring a lot of germs. They are germ factories. That's part of the life. But I would say the fact that you don't really shower regularly.

That's for sure. And your hygiene is not what I would say average, probably a little below average. Probably. I think that anything that is developed that is contagious stays on you and you bring it in more than what a normal parent would. have. Maybe. What I do is... It's been very agreeable about all things. He's like, yeah, I mean, I'm a likely scenario. Yeah. I also look at it as building up your immunity. If you keep washing everything off, your immune system has to be so weak. But the rest of the show members, because you and Eddie and Morgan sit at one table altogether, they don't really deserve that because

you've decided you're going to use that as an excuse for not showering. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, true. Another one he agrees. But I'm just saying, I made a lot of great points here. But I mean, me giving Morgan a rash on her face. I mean, she was never rubbing up on my body. My rash has been gone for... It could have been a door handle touch and then a face touch and it could have taken it. It doesn't matter, Morgan. I'm sorry. Did you go to the doctor? Yeah, and thankfully it's going

away, but, you know, I've never had a rash in my life and lunchbox comes in my life and here we are. I was wondering what's wrong on your face. I'm not opposed to bubbling him in the new studio. Yes. Like, what? Building a bubble around him? You mean like always or when he's sick? No, always. Oh, okay. Like we just build a bubble around

him. Bubble boy? Because this has been something for months and months. He comes in, you know, sometimes, Amy, you'll see, like, a live band and there's like a plastic thing around the drummer. Yeah. It's basically that. We bubble them. Right.

The drums, it's for sound, though, right? Yeah, this would be for illness. Yeah. Yeah. Morgan, sorry. It's okay. Goodbye, everybody. The Bobby Bones show.
