Here's your host, Bobby Bones. So I'm just going to go to Lauren first because she's freaking out over here. Lauren, hi.

Hey. Are you nervous? A little. There's no need to be. So we're going to do this bit. We're just going to do it today. But you're now the youngest person that's part of this group.

Yeah. Right. And so we were going to do some references that we know to see if you've been knew what they meant. That's all it is. Okay. Don't be nervous. See, look, now she's all cool and show.

30 seconds ago, she's like, I don't know what's about to happen, guys. How old is she? You know, never asking about their age. I'm 26. Okay, there you go. There you go. I didn't ask.

Thank you. I don't think I can legally. I think for purposes of the segment, could you? I don't know. I didn't read that rule. Like, if you were interviewing her, you could not. What am I doing right now? Interviewing her.

I've got the job. No, but what am I doing right now? Looking at Amy? I'm interviewing her. It's a fun game. Playing a fun game. Lauren, so you've been with our show for how long now? About almost three months now.

And how's it been going for you? Pretty good, yeah. Everyone's great. I love it here. It's nice. So we usually don't put people on as early because we've had people we've put on there a little bit and then they get a little Instagram clout and they leave.

Now, raise your right hand. I? I. Lauren. Promise. Promise. If I get Instagram clout. If I get Instagram Cloud.

I won't leave. I won't leave. All right, you guys go with that? That was it. We have it on tape. Now we got it. Now we see her, right? Right.

And you're from where? New Jersey. And not super familiar with New Jersey. I've been to Atlantic City. Okay. Yeah. So I'm from like North Jersey right outside New York City. So that's more like South Jersey.

She's from Newark. Not Newark. I've flown into Newark. Okay. Yes. And I've been on the Jersey side of the water. Okay. Yeah.

No, it's nice. That's where I'm from. It's my people over there. And how did you end up at what? She from Hoboken? Hoboken, that's where it's at. I'm not from Hoboken. I'm from Morris Town, which is all close to that, yeah.

What other New Jersey things do we know? What about? Nets. But now they're Brooklyn, so it doesn't count. What do you say? What do you think the capital of New Jersey is? I know. No, I know this.

Jersey City. I don't know. Wrong. What? It's Trenton. Trenton, New Jersey. That's like Matt. Oh, it is.

The words came out wrong? Yeah. Mispelled it. And so when did you get to Nashville? Three years ago. And why did you come to Nashville? Nashville. I got a job just working in the music industry, broadcasting with radio, and just have stayed down here ever since. And did you come to Nashville to do radio? Yes, radio,

broadcasting, all that. What did you do in, where did you go to college or school or whatever that was? I went to Penn State. Wow. Hey, we got us a fancy one. Wow. Wow. Is that a Nittany Lion? What is that? Nittany Lions, yep. And don't answer my box. Where is Penn State, Amy? Well, is it Pennsylvania? No, no, no, no. Like what town do you know? All I know is Jerry Sandusky coach there. Oh, why would you bring that up?

That's a pretty tough time, huh? Yeah, it was a pretty, a little before me, but yeah, tough time. Yeah, that's true. But I mean, that's, I mean... That's what a lot of people associate with is that don't know sports. Yeah, and I do not know sports. Joe Paterno, I've heard of them. Joe Paterno?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's such a crazy story. Where do you think Penn State is? Pennsylvania, for sure. Yeah, the town. Sanduskyville. They change the name.

That's not it. Lunchbox, do you know? No, you know what? The first thing that popped to my head was it's in state college. Yes. Yeah, that's, yes. That would have been my answer. It sounds like a weird.

I said it accidentally when I was talking to Amy. Well, I said it. And I pulled it back because she's from College Station. Well, I went to college. I went to A&M. And that's actually the name of the town. I always just thought that was like. Yeah, state college.

Yeah. That's such a weird name. I always thought it was just a nickname for the name. So is College Station. No, but the nickname is Happy Valley. That's what we call it. But I thought State College, I didn't know it's an actual... No, no, no.

So you went to Penn State, and when you went to school, did you have the idea that you wanted to be into broadcast? I knew I wanted to do something with broadcasting and the music industry. I wasn't really sure exactly what, and then I just took a couple classes and did, like, the college country radio station up there and figured out that's what I really like to do and just went from there. How was that country station at Penn State? It was just the college station, but it was fun. Yeah, I really enjoyed it. So what do you do from there? So you finish college, and then do you look for any kind of job at all? Yeah, I was looking for broadcasting

jobs, and I actually stayed up there for a couple months doing radio up there. And then I networked around and got offered the job down here in Nashville in 2008, 2019, and have been down here ever since. So you came right before the pandemic? I did. I came actually in March of 2019, so I was here for a full year before the pandemic happened. Okay, so at least you got a year of Nashville. Yeah, I got to experience it. Did you have any friends in Nashville when you moved here? No, I didn't know a single person, no family, nothing. I moved here, sight unseen within two within two weeks of getting the job and just rolled with it. Good for you. Thanks. Yeah, a lot of growth has to happen there. Oh yeah, it was really hard. I definitely call my parents a couple weeks

in crying like, I don't know if I did the right thing here. ever want to go back? Yeah, there was a part of me that I wanted to go back, but I stuck it out and made friends, and now I'm really happy here. What's the goal? Like, and this wasn't the whole idea of this, but I like her. I mean, she's already super valuable around here. What's your, like, what's your, like, career goal? I really want to say in broadcasting. I would love to do kind of what, like, Scoobo Steve does and just be the executive producer, some on-air stuff, but I really like doing more behind-the-scenes production work. What do you think about Scoob, Steve? He's not listening. I turn his ears down. He's actually, like the worst. He's the worst.

Are you trying to take his job is what I heard? That's what I heard. You want to replace this job. Let's spin the wheel and see who gets the job. Oh, cool. Spend that wheel. So you've been with our show for three months. Where did you, when you moved here, what job?

Did you come to a station here? Yes, I was working on Nash FM on the Ty Bentley show back then. So you work with Ty, and then when Ty left, did you stay over there? Yeah, I stayed with Chuck for a little bit. And then that show got canceled and the whole station changed all during the pandemic. and then I bounced around from a couple different shows, and then I just really needed a job. So I was working at FBMM as like an assistant

for one of the music managers over there. What's FBMM? I don't know what that is. It's like a music management company where they like help the artists with their finances and say you have enough money to tour or do stuff like that. So you were telling people that don't have enough money to tour? I wasn't the one doing it.

I was just the assistant to the person telling people that. Here, I'm going to log into my account. Will you tell me if I have enough money to tour? But it wasn't like in your, that wasn't a career path for you. That was just a job. No, it was just a job that I needed. But everyone there was really nice. And it was a good learning experience.

But I always knew I wanted to get back into broadcasting. How has it been here? How did you hear about the job? And what was the job specifically entailing that we were offering? I think I just found it online, honestly. I went to CRS. And it was like during that week that I remember seeing it. And it was just, it was looking for a audio producer.

here on the show. And so I reached out to a couple people I knew who knew people here and was like, hey, could you maybe put in a good word, sent in my info? And it took like months to get a response and get in here. But I just stuck it out. That's weird. No one reached out to me. Yeah, they wouldn't. They won't. Well, she said reach out to them and put a good word. No one reached out to me. They wouldn't. They won't. And so who did they talk? Because I didn't, I didn't know anything about even the job until way, way, way later. Who was the first person you talked to from here? Scuba. So he found your information. Yep, yeah. Called you. Did he interview you first? Yeah, I had like two Zoom interviews with Scuba and a few other people within the company.

And before I actually got brought into the studio here to have an interview with you. And then I got the job like a week or two after that. And how was that interview? Could you come up? Do we just go in my office? Yeah, we were in your office and you just asked a few questions like, what do I do and just stuff like that. And then that was it. When you left, did I say anything like, hey, because I don't, I don't really, I remember meeting you,

but I don't remember the interview, because I think I did a lot. I did five or six of them, I think. Did I say anything like, I think you have a good chance of this job or anything like that? Yeah, yeah, you were like, I really like you.

I think you have a good chance. And even if you don't get the job, maybe we can find something somewhere else for you within the company. I mean, that's what happened with Abby. Abby didn't get the job. Yeah, that's exactly what you told me you were like Abby, that's what happened with Abby and that's what we did with her. So I left

feeling pretty good knowing that like even if I didn't get the job, maybe if something else would happen down the line. That's awesome. I meant it too because I definitely don't say that if I don't mean it. But yeah, Abby didn't get the job and then she wrote me a thank you card and just was like, uh, you're like, hey, I hope everything's good. And I was like, man, that's really cool. She follows through. She follows up. And so now she's like one of the really important cogs of this show. And so you've been here for three months and you come in and what do you do in that studio over there? I am helping with the titles for the podcast.

I'm putting together the blogs for the website, editing the videos that Eddie sends to Morgan, which I then like go in and I do the captions for. You do? Yeah, that's cool. I didn't know that. I just started that. I am helping

Kevin and Pitts back there, sometimes edit up the audio for the podcast. Doing it all, huh? Writing the women of I-Hart country script. Yeah, doing a good bit. Are you busy the whole time? It's always something. Yes, always something, but I really enjoy it. We're not saying you're not enjoying it. No, we like you.

We like you. Yeah, I mean, she wrote those intros. The first day I started doing them, they were like really cutting and hilarious. Yeah, I mean, some were kind of... Because I went to Lauren and I was like, hey, would you mind just... Because I would do these intros and I was like, would you mind listening to this and writing some of them? And she was like, yeah, sure. And then I just left, I didn't give her any sort of, say, turning down by this date or anything.

And I came in and I was just here. And I was like, oh, boy, she went hard. boy, she went hard. They were hilarious. They were so funny. And so your overall experience so far has been good? Yeah, it's been great. Has everybody been pretty accessible? Yeah, for sure, yeah. Who have you talked to the least? Probably Mike D, to be honest.

Well, Mike talks to everybody the least because Mike doesn't anything to anybody ever. Not because he's mean, because he doesn't say a lot of words. So Mike probably the least. And who probably Scoob it the most? Probably Pitts and Kevin the most I mean I share a room with them back there And I spend hours with them back there Are they stinky? Oh yeah

I mean I got stuck in a room with two boys Just like talking sports and crap to each other All day long But they're just, but they don't like stink Oh no They're not that way No not like that They look like they stink

Well you know they can also be Being stinky you know Oh sure You know like lunchbox does I'm gonna make sure that's not happening Like what do you mean being stinky Making stink come out When you fart on people

Oh I go in there I room to fart You go in that room that she's in for you? Yeah. Why not just go to the bathroom? It's like 10. No, sometimes I'll be in there talking. I'm just like, well, it's coming.

Gross. It's coming. What about Ray? Spent time with Ray? Yeah. Ray has taught me the board and all that. I had to come here at like three in the morning a couple times to learn all of that, but it's been great.

And do you feel like if we just left you up here to run the board one day, you could do it? Yeah, I think I could have a good understanding of it right now. Ray, what you think? maybe a couple more training sessions I think I want maybe someone by my side one more time but overall it's been a good experience yeah yeah great

well okay so Lauren you're 26 and what we're gonna do is read you some of these references that we know and just to see if you know what they are okay okay for example Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune right no no no not wheel of fortune and the, she walks across the screen and she presses the letters. And if people guess the, is that Wheel of Fortune? It is.

It is. Wow, that's really good. Yeah, and the reason this came up is because Amy's niece, who is 19, didn't know who Vanna White was. Yeah. Because I had her, she was at my live podcast event and I needed a little Vanna White for the giveaways. Wait, Vana White was at your live podcast?

No, I needed someone to come out with the giveaways and walk across the stage and then take them to the listener that won the giveaway. And she was like, what? Who's Vanna White? And I was like, I looked at my sister and I was like, you've failed as a mother. How does she not know Wheel of Fortune? What about this? Laza.

Scream. What? No? Let me do it again. Okay, yes. That's right. But yes, but it's based, that's a parody from the actual. Wow.

I forgot about that. But she went right to that. That's good. So, let's it. Laza. Blah! No. So it's from the Budweiser commercials back in the day in the Super Bowl.

but Scream is doing a parody of those. Okay. That's right. A new scream, but yeah, not the other one. Okay, okay, okay, let me see. That's pretty good, though. I give her half a point on that one. Yeah, that's good.

All right. There's no scoring scale on this either, but we'll see what happens. How about if I say I'm going to go full Kool-Aid man on that? What does that mean? It's when the Kool-Aid guy, like, runs through the wall, right? Boom, that's right. I'm giving you. That's amazing.

I'm going to give her an orange for that one. What? Like I said, the scoring system makes no sense. No, it really doesn't make sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How about you're killing me smalls? Oh my God, it's the baseball movie. Is that Sandlot?

Yes. Good. Which is really good. I'm going to give her one point and a banana. Okay. All right. How about... Backman points?

We'll see how it goes. Okay. How about you are the weakest link? It's from a game, right? A game show, the weakest link? Yeah, that's correct. Good. That's just a guess.

All right. You know what? 20 points. Yeah. That's a good one. How about Be Kind, Rewind. That's when you would bring like the movie back to Blockbuster.

Are you from a small town? No, I'm not from a small town. She's from Hoboken, dude. Yeah, she's from... By the city, right outside the city. She's from Trenton. She's from the Jersey Shore. Yeah.

Yeah, that was Woodsy the owl. Okay, guys. But do you guys know, Woodsy? Might I know what we're talking about? If someone says who is in your top eight? MySpace. Wow. That's amazing.

Do you have older siblings? No, I'm the oldest sibling. I just learned this in a history class? Wow. I just know my pop culture pretty well. That's old school. Okay. How about, um,

Boing, boing. Wing, ding. Is that like the computer starting up? Like AOL? Wow. I'm going with that or the internet.

Forest Gump. Yeah, good. She said Borat's classic. What about Lassie? Do you know who Lassie is? No, I do not know that one. Lassie. Think about it.

What do you think Lassie is? It's an unfair one because for us, we'd have to know history too. That's really old. Is that like the dog? Oh, that's the dog? that like saves the kid who falls in the well. Okay. Can't get her.

Did someone tell her all this stuff? She knows everything. Okay, okay, okay, okay. How about the more you know? Bam, bum, bum, bum. We'll play the clip for you. The more you know. I know it's like the star, the shooting star.

I just don't know what it's from. Wow. I mean, that's the thing. It's from like I think NBC and then Saturday mornings would do public service announcements. Yeah, but that's like a famous meme now. Like the more you know.

Oh, okay. So you know it from the meme. That's what I know it from. Yeah, that's what it is. Okay, how about, do you know what McGiver is? he's like that survival guy but I never like watched the show or anything like that

prank phone calls someone, right? So your ID doesn't show up? So Star 6-7 is blocking an ID. Star 6-9 calls them back, right? Yeah. Mike? She still knew what it was. Pretty good, though.

I'm surprised that at 26 you would know most of this stuff. That's crazy. Well, you passed. Wait, I got one for it. You get to keep your job, huh? She won't get this one. Go ahead.

What movies is this from? Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. I wouldn't know that either, though. Yeah, I got it, though. Hey, I got it. I don't even. Eddie, you're going to go ahead. Go ahead, Lauren.

I have no idea. It's like lassie. No, it's like 50s. No, no, no, I know I'm saying it's from that time. It's like Lassie. Gone with the win, man. It's gone with the win. I've never known that.

30s, 40s, I don't even know. Got her. That's not pop culture. Got her real good. Okay. How about this one? Where are the three boats they came over on? The Nina, the Clinton didn't the same thing.

There you go. It's the same kind of crap you're asking. But she got that one. I know. But that's just history. Yeah. More than like... Who was the first president?

Yeah. So, everything going good for you in time now? Yeah, everything's going great. Yeah. You have friends. I have friends. I have a great life here. What do you do for fun?

I just go out with my friends. A hike. I hang out with my dog. What kind of dog do you have? I have a four-year-old chocolate lab. Her name is Zion. Oh, I bet you that a chocolate lab, it can really move. I mean, that's a very,

energetic. Oh yeah, she's full of energy. That's cool. We have Ella, who is part husky and part hound, it's nonstop energy. Oh yeah, that's dying. Nonstop always wants to play, always wants to eat everything. Yeah, well, we appreciate you coming. You thought we were going to do something crazy. We didn't. We just wanted to run through that quiz, but also let everybody get to know you a little bit. Well, I appreciate it. Yeah, I was kind of nervous coming in here. I had no idea what was, I was going to be asked. Do you get nervous when you have to come in the studio during the show for any reason?

No, not like anymore. At first I did because I didn't really know what to expect. But, I mean, when you tell me to sit down in front of the mic and you're not going to tell me what we're going to talk about. Yeah, I got nervous. That's what he does to us every day. You have no idea what we're talking about. No idea.

And do you get nervous? No. Not anymore. Okay, let's just spill the tea on Lauren. All right, everybody, who's got it? Just kidding. Nobody has this village. Oh, you know what?

Lauren, I didn't want to bring up the fact that you got sent that box. I did. from Luke Bryan. Yeah, you know what she said to me? She goes, so I don't exist? I'm like, what? I don't know what you're talking about. She's like, well, you said nobody knows her.

Nobody knew. They didn't. That's why we had to do this whole 45-minute introduction to her because no one had ever heard her name in their lives. But maybe she does. How do you think you got that package? I have no idea to be honest. I was also shocked when I got it.

Do you know Luke? You know Luke? Brian? I'm still shocked. I mean, we're kind of friends a little bit, I guess. She just hangs out on Thursdays. Yeah. Wow.

You ever met Luke, Brian? I have once, yeah, a couple years ago. And how was he? Really nice, cool guy, just everything you would expect when you see him on TV. He's just like that. I haven't met him yet. I can't wait. You're going to love him.

You're going to love him. Yeah. I can't wait. Okay, Lauren, well, I hope you had fun today. I did, yeah. This is her intro segment. Is this online, too? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, wow. Big deal. Big steps over here. Big steps. Okay, what do you go do, right? When you walk out of the studio, what do you go, what project are you walking into? I'm going to start writing the women of IHard country, script more.

Can you put more curse words in there? I'd like to hear Amy Custle a little bit. Okay. Yeah, I can really make it like dirty up in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dirty up in there. Do you know what if I say we're going to ship them? What does that mean?

Like relationship, but you're going to put them together. Yeah. We were doing that earlier. They didn't know what that meant. Well, yeah. Well, yeah. Old people, right? Am I right?

I'm all right? Okay. Yeah, she just got shipped, like engaged recently. You just got engaged? Yeah. Left that one. I did not. I wasn't going to ask it. Hold on.

Guys, I'm in a different position than you guys. Oh. I can't be like, yo, we go to boyfriend. That's true. That would sound weird. I can't. I didn't even want to go. Well, Bunz, you don't have to ask it.

Yo, you got a girlfriend? No, no, but I can't do that. Until I have an actual friendship with someone and those are common things that we talk about off, I'm not going to go like, so what's the deal? You dating somebody? I'm not going to do that. So I did not know because I purposefully, I will go and talk with Lauren. I'll stop, but we'll talk.

I'm really shipped now. Yeah. She's shipped. She shipped straight to the dock. So what's the deal? I just got engaged. Pulled that microphone up a little bit to you. I just got engaged in September to my boyfriend of two and a half years.

Two and a half years, you meet him here? Yes, we did. We met here through mutual friends at like a backyard barbecue party. And he proposed to me at the Penn State Auburn game, like with all of our family there the day before the game. This year and you guys won that one. Yes. Oh, Penn State dominated Auburn.

And that's it so far. That's all it is. We're going to get married sometime in 2024. Wait, what are we now? 22. Why are you waiting so long? There's no need to rush it. Like, why are we going to rush it?

Well, then why are you engaged? Put a ring? He just wanted to put a ring on it. He knew what he had and he was like, I'm going to put a ring on it. But he doesn't want to commit all the way because I'll rush it. It's a reservation. No, it's like, no. And you can always cancel a reservation, right, Eddie?

There's so much that goes into it. There's so much that goes into it. And what happened with COVID is so many venues. and things are now completely backed up because so many weddings all got pushed. I know so many people that are waiting until 2024 because they're like literally having to put in their name. You know so many

so many. Amy. Amy. So many. I'm trying to make her feel comfortable because it's not just about him wanting to just have cold feet or put a ring on it and then not make a move or do anything else. I didn't say that but those Okay, let's just say. Let me say that. I know I sound like lunchboxes

been, yeah, you do. Lunchbox and I've been together for how long? 19 years. Right. Idiotic people say idiotic things. Like a lot. Yeah, and sometimes he's not idiotic. Wait, hold on. Eddie just said that's like a reservation. And he's right. You can cancel it at any time. I didn't say that part. She's not going to hear lunchbox say that

and judge all of us for that. Okay. She's just going to look at him and think he's an idiot. Anybody who agrees with him, like Eddie. I'm not agreeing with him. I have read articles about people about a lot of people that have had to push their wedding an entire year because they can't get the venue like the church or the

reception venue that they want because everything is so booked up because of COVID. Oh yeah, no, the place we looked at, they're already all booked for fall of 2023. Until 2029, actually. Wow. The earliest we could get was early 2024. See?

No, he's from Atlanta and then he went to Auburn. And then after graduating Auburn, he came up here. And that's why we went to the Penn State Auburn game. Yeah. And all the families get along? All the family gets along. They've only met once.

So the first time his parents met my parents was when he proposed to me. And then they'll see each other again in 2024 at the wedding. Yeah, we'll see each other at the wedding. I'm sure a shower or something. And did you take a picture and post it immediately when you got engaged? Yes. Yeah. Yep. Oh, yeah.

Of course. Did you know it was coming? I kind of knew it was coming. It just kind of seemed obvious. I was like, oh, my God, my whole family's flying in this weekend. I wonder what for. Had your nails done then? Had my nails done.

The best part was a couple of days before that I was, like, putting together something in our house, and he never cares about my nails, but he looked over at me. He goes, if that's going to break one of your nails, like, just stopped. I'll do it. Oh, wow. Wow. I was a big one. He's got one knee pad on walking around the house.

It's so. Trying to stick. Well, Lauren, I know I've told you this privately, but I'm very excited that you're with the show, and I think you have a really bright future here. Thank you. And you have a really good work ethic and a good attitude. And thanks for coming on with this. And this is hopefully the first of many.

Yeah, thanks. And if you're happy, we're happy. I'm happy. I had a great time up here. Today. Today. But all days. All days.

Every day. Who's the grumpiest? Oh, definitely lunchbox. Oh, here we go. I mean, for sure. The grumpy. Like, yeah, but when he comes in, he's the kind of. you know,

yes. And who is the most pleasurable, like a lot of energy friendly when the morning starts? Probably Eddie when he walks in. He's always super nice. He's always super friendly. What do I say when I walk in?

Morning. Why do it like that? Lunchbox walks in, like complaining about something. Always, right? Do you ever see him ride down on his bike? No, I have not seen that. I haven't seen that either.

I don't know, sure that he does. I think he keeps him behind the dumpster and he drives in and just grabs it and rolls it. He gets it to his car right out of the block. I think that's it. Okay, Lauren, Lauren, good to see you. Good to meet you on the air.

And you can go back to your hole now. Yeah, go back to writing my stuff back there. Thanks guys. There she is, Lauren, everybody. First time on. First time on. Great job, Lauren. Okay.

And she's walking out. Is there anything else that I want to do here? You go over there? Yeah. Okay, cool. Let's see. Someone got caught driving 174 miles an hour yesterday and a souped up Volkswagen golf.

Wow, they go that fast? I don't know what a golf is. It looks like a little... It's a hatchback. Like, yeah, small, like dumpy. I don't even know how to describe it. A hatchback's a guy, I would never use that word. I guess I don't know what that is.

It's just kind of got the back that kind of slopes back into the bumper. Oh, a hatchback is where you don't, you can't, there's no wall between the trunk and the car, right? Yeah, it's just one. It kind of slopes down into the bumper. They must have put something in it because to go that fast. What do you mean? What do you mean? What are you in some minute, like nitro?

Something massive. They don't go that. Yeah, you can hit the boosters like on Fast and Furious. You should feel adjusted at daylight savings time by 7 p.m. tonight. Oh, well. This one isn't hard for me to adjust to. Yeah, I'm okay. Yeah, I'm okay.

I've been okay with this one. Yeah. It's not bad. I mean, I don't like how dark it is. Early. Oh, gosh, early in the day. It's noon and the sun's going down. Sunday morning, my kids woke up 5 a.m.

I mean, gosh, it's terrible. The Tyson Food CFO passes out in a random homeowner's bed. Okay, is this the same guy that got no fight of the game? No, that was. Beyond meat. Oh, wow. This is real meat. Real chicken.

This is Big Tyson. Huh. Yeah, so the chief financial officer of Tyson food, John R. Tyson, the son of the company's chairman, he was found asleep in a stranger's bed early in the morning. A college aged woman living in the home called cops and said that she left her door unlocked and he was there. He had his clothes on the ground. He was in the bed.

Apparently he smelled of alcohol. I think he just got drunk with the wrong house. Oh, no. Yes, but how, I mean, what is up with the meat suppliers getting too drunk going? I mean. Well, it's two Arkansas stories. I was going to say Arkansas too. But then he walks into a house.

There's no one there. He goes into the bed. And I mean, I just drunk and thought it was his place. Yeah. Who hasn't done that? I've never been that drunk. Never. Eddie, but you've peed in my own room.

Yes, in the corner of your own room. That's different. It's very different. Let me tell you. My point is you thought you were somewhere you weren't. No, I dreamt that I was actually in the bathroom. in the toilet, but I wasn't. I was peeing in the corner of my room. It just, yeah, you just kind of, we have,

you would think CEOs are heads of companies like this that are that big, don't make decisions like this. Well, his dad's the chairman. That's a little easier to get there. Yeah. His name's Tyson. His name's Tyson. And I ain't Mike. Okay.

at? Like, is that a little more? Are we having more kids? I stop reading it. This is the part of the day where I just grab stories I haven't done yet and see if I'm interested as I read the headline. Okay. Hold on. I read the other day how many people are born a day and I forgot. I wonder if that's the same number as the people dying a day.

No, there's less, there's more being born than dying, right? That's how I won $8 billion. I think we're done. You don't like that conversation? I'm done. We had a good talk with her. I said some stories I wanted to kill. That's it. Thank you. I mean, listen.
