You can catch this first person at his son's football games this fall or watching Doc Prescott turning over the ball. Okay. They're not to see the game. I hear you. I didn't want to write these.

Here, producer, ready. That wasn't going to be good this year. Guys, I need your opinion on something. I'm asking for a friend. Say you're at a university and you go on the softball field and you're doing home run derby, get a hold of a ball, goes out, it's flying, goes over the fence, hits a car. Who's responsible for that? Like, is it, I mean, you're parked right?

Is it hypothetical or real? No, hypothetical. Okay. So let's just call the person Freddie. Sure. So Freddie's. A nice random name. Playing home run derby and hits a car.

Where's its car parks? Right on left field. Like home run? Across the fence, you know. So the ball was hit really well, bounced on the sidewalk on the other side of the fence, hit a car. Just saying it hit the car. So if there's no damage, I think you do nothing. What if there's a dent on the hood?

But let me say too. Say next to the car there's a sign that says not responsible for flying objects. I mean, I think. I mean, it's a softball field, right? So is there always a sign like that at a softball field? So does Freddie think or you think? Say Freddie. Okay.

I don't know that there's a sign. But also by parking at a softball field, do you know that you may get hit by a ball? Yes, so I make choices. Like when I would be going to my daughter's softball game, sometimes there would be a great spot. They're like, ooh, I know I'm going to go park over here just in case there's, it wasn't even an outfield spot.

It was a foul ball spot where I thought if they hit a foul ball, I'm easily at risk, so I'm in a park over here. So your friend Freddie hit a car and now he's concerned that he may owe money? Well, yeah. I would tell you. No one came after Freddie or anything, but he's, Was it because nobody was outside at the time? Correct.

Except for, yeah. I would tell your friend Freddie that car was parked right beside the ball field. There are risks with parking by a ball field, right, everybody? Yes. Totally. But you could, Freddie could still help. I don't think Freddie knows how to get a hold of the person. Okay.

Freddy doesn't know the person. Okay. Just out. That's cool. I'll let Freddie know. Okay, let Freddie know, buddy. All right, thank you. This next person is in charge of the show's stock investments on the year.

Whether we'll make any money still remains unclear. It's lunchbox. Last week we did a study about what keeps the sparks in a marriage going. You guys asked my opinion, how do you keep your sparks going? And I told you nibble on the air, do a little butt squeeze. I didn't say that. No, I did. And so I went home and, you know, talked to my wife to see if she likes my method of keeping the sparks going.

I mean, just being nice and considerate and doing little things throughout the day that show me that you're thinking of me. Like what? Send you a nude. No, I think I need to do that. When you fill up my gas tank, when I get in the car and I'm like, oh, my gas tank is full. Like, I always notice that and that's really nice. You always take out the trash. You always, always, always do the trash.

So thank you for that. That's awesome. That keeps the spark alive. I mean, it's just, it's nice. Yeah, kind of. And it leads to keeping spark alive. It makes me happy, which then puts me in a good mood for other things. She didn't mention anything about a nibble or a butt grab.

She mentioned like wiping the floor down. Yeah, and I feel like it's incredibly sweet that lunchbox fills her gas tank up for her. That was shocking to me. Yeah. Does she tell you to? No, is this sometimes it's on E, so I have to fill it up because I'm driving it. Oh, you have to fill up. Whatever.

I knew we'd find a way to pivot out of that. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't sound like that your way of keeping sparks is the same way that she appreciates the sparks. Well, I guess, I mean, I thought that that's what was keeping the sparks, but I guess me taking out the trash leads to the But grab and the nibble on the ear. Being thoughtful. Yeah. That's what keeps the sparks.

Or I figure like when she's cooking, you walk by and you pop her on the, smack on the butt. Yeah, they don't like that. All right. Having weights in her hands recently saved this next person when she fell and we're lucky she survived so she could come on and show and tell. Here's Amy. So I use Rocket Money, which is, it's an app. I also just have it on my computer and it's a way that I can track all my spending. I am very into it now because I take care of stuff on my own.

Being single, I had to really dial in because Ben used to do that when we were married. And I was really nervous about it, but I'm obsessed with it now and I pay attention to everything. And I got a note the other day that was just sharing with me my most frequently spent places. Like, it's not where I spend the most money. But I have the most frequent transactions. Okay, you go. Amazon. Venmo.

And I think that's because of this job. We're constantly all in a business. Yes. And then Uber. Number three. Those are my top three. Yeah, I think Uber, but Uber eats, if that's probably just going to Uber. Yeah.

That could be up there. And we're probably very similar in that way. Maybe, what would I buy off the TV? Streaming services, does that count, though? No, it's not your. Amazon, like if you're buying stuff on Amazon. I get it every, I don't do it yearly. I do a month.

Yeah, no. I'm getting like a Netflix bill or. Draft Kings. Oh, yeah, that's it. Literally. That's a great point. Nailed it. That's probably number one for me.

Right now. Yeah, yeah. Really only during football and a little bit during basketball. But what if you're making money? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's okay. I mean, it didn't say. I mean, sometimes you guys spend money and make money.

That's right. It didn't mention that part. That's right. Okay, good. All right, thank you for sharing that with us. Raymond, go ahead. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's good at betting picks for football.

So get ready for free money this fall. Bobby Bow. Thank you very much. You know, I'm not letting my feelings get hurt by what I'm about to say. I'm not. But when you guys come in this room. For example, Amy will come in and I'll see her and say something. I try to be very

aware and present. Whenever Ray or Ed, I try to be there and be someone who notices. I cut all my hair off, which is really, like, a week ago. You did? Yeah, it used to be very long. I didn't notice that. Exactly. Thank you. Amy comes in. She's 0.1% lighter. I'm like, look at your

hair. It looks great. Huh. Are you a chick? Yeah, yeah, Buzz. Like, are you a chick right now? I think that cut all my hair off. I did, all of it. It's an exaggeration. Let's say it different? I cut off like three inches.

Three inches? Four inches. Okay, no, five inches. Are you sure? I'm just saying. Did you keep the hair? No, that's okay. I just thought maybe one person in the whole show would notice me like, hey man.

I saw that you got a hair cup and one of my supposed to do. Oh, dude, you cut your hair. You do say that when we like buy a new shirt. I remember I bought a new shirt once and Bose like, new shirt? Nice. I like it. I'm like, wow, you noticed I got a new shirt. We got a tag was on it.

Well, no. No, but you're right. You do notice. Sorry, dude. We can't. We can't. I just thought after a week, now somebody would say something, but nobody did. It's been a week?

Yeah. So it's already even grown a little. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. It's all right, though. I don't worry about it. I never saw that.

Looks good. No, it does not. It does not count. And so I'm moving on with life. Did you get new glasses? I did not. Shut up. Did you get new shoes, man?

All right. We'll get going with the show here. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I had to leave on business for a couple weeks and paid a local college-aged girl in the neighborhood

a few hundred bucks to stay at my house and watch over the place. She was allowed to stay over, eat what she wanted, and was given free rain and a lot of trust. When I came back, however, I noticed, the couch I just paid a lot of money for had some major stain damage. It's a light-colored fabric, and now it's loaded with what looks like Cheeto dust. Condiments, fingerprint, dirt, another stain.

I'm not even sure what it is. My question is, is it appropriate to bill her for cleaning it, or is that the risk you take having someone watch your house? Signed, hired a house-sitting slob. Amy, you go. I mean, if you hired them, then, yeah, I feel like they should be responsible if something happened. And if they were watching it, like, for you for free as a friend, a help out or whatever, then I would say that's kind of the price you pay.

Although, if it wasn't disclosed beforehand, like, hey, just FYI, if there's any damages, because I'm sure you probably didn't have a contract of sorts with this person. But that's a tough one. I would, me personally, I probably just eat the loss. But if you can't do that, then I think it's okay to have a conversation. It's a college kid thinking of the money anyway. So good luck billing them. Good point.

And I mean How are you going to prove It was her Although you probably Have a good You just you can't You can not hire her again

Yeah But She doesn't have to pay this bill So I would get You could even say I gotta get this cleaned Or take a picture

Hey do you know how this happened And if she goes Yeah I did it I'm sorry I'm happy to help Pay for it or whatever That's fine But I don't think

You can just hit her With an invoice Honestly You can just not hire her again Eddie? Yeah Like it's, you know, take the loss. I mean, it's Cheeto dust.

I get Cheeto dust in our couch all the time. Well, and another saying, you can't. I get it. Clean it up. But you know what? You're right. Send her a picture and be like, hey, did you do this? No, no, no, no.

That's not what you do. But don't charge her for it. No, you send a picture and go, hey, do you know how this happened? It could have happened at any point over the last couple weeks. Did you eat Cheetos here? No, that's not it. No. That's not how to do it.

Lunchbox. You spill, you pay. I'm sending her in invoice. What? Invoice? Envoice. You take a picture of it. Say this is how much it costs to clean.

It wasn't here when we went on vacation. It was here when we got back. It was either you or you had someone in our house. You're responsible for it. I think also because hard, it's hard to find good help for anything these days. If you did think every other thing she did was fine and she did a good job at water and plants

or keep an animal alive or then it's also, maybe you just eat it so she can continue to work there because if you charge her, she ain't ever working for you again. Good point. So I would say don't. You can probably get it clean. clean for a hundred bucks. It's a very expensive couch.

I just didn't read how much it was. Get it cleaned. If you hire her again, though, like, put plastic on stuff. No Cheeto rule. Yeah, exactly. All right, just, you got to eat it, though. That's what we say. That's our advice. All right, close the mail bag.

We've got your email, and now it's about to close Bobby's mailback. Spinoffs of TV shows. For example, if I were to say, 16 and pregnant, the spinoff would be Team mom. No clue. Wow, it's going to be hard. This is going to be tough, man. I don't know many.

Eileen Lilly lives in Horseshoe Beach in Florida, and she had to evacuate when Hurricane Idalia came through, and she tried to get everything. She looked through her valuables, let's get everything. We've got to leave. But she did forget two things. her wedding ring and her late husband's wedding ring and it was in a jewelry box.

So she evacuates, she comes back a few days later, her house is completely flooded. Can't get the jewelry box. Can't get the rings. Well, out of nowhere like an angel, a state official shows up and like, hey, we're trying to help people.

Like an angel. I like it. Go ahead. We're trying to get people stuff from their houses. And she says, oh my gosh, if you could please go in there and get my wedding rings.

So that angel goes in, gets the jewelry box and delivers it to Eileen. And Eileen gets her ring. Things. Pretty cool. And not only that, Eileen got a trailer put outside her house, so she lives in an air-conditioned trailer that the state put up there for her so she can live

right by her house. Angels, man. You know what I learned from this story, though? She's not wearing that wedding ring anymore. It's on the prowl. Well, it's her late husband. Her dude died. She's a widow. I know, but don't she still wear your ring? At some point, you may. Maybe have a few different ones. Why are you hard on her?

I mean, there could be multiple... Lady lost it all, and you're taking that from her? Yeah. It's like, some people might find it really hard to wear that. Some people. Every day, even if they're not on the prow. Maybe her finger got fatter.

I don't think about that. I didn't think about that. There's endless possibilities here. All right. That's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. When you listen to podcasts about AI and 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. Who's he? He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know.

You meet the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Those 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's a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual polo name. 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, I thought it was. I got that wrong.

She says it's a gift from heaven in the lottery because she used a set of numbers related to her husband who had died. Wow. The Missouri lottery said that the Springfield won't bought a ticket August 16th.

The ticket turned out to be a $199,000 winner. Quote, I lost my husband several years ago, and the numbers are all related to him. him. I think I'm still in shock. It was like a gift from heaven. Love it. From UPI. Now, probably just happened to work out that way, and there are probably a lot of people playing dead people's numbers, and it's not working out, but we caught one here. A message from above, she says.

That's not what I... But could be. It could be. It could be. Absolutely, it could be. I can't. I can't prove it's not. Got it, Amy. Can't prove. No, not got me. I agree. Got them. But I'm doing probabilities here. There's a lot of people with dead loved ones who, they're not, numbers aren't winning. But good for her. I'm I hope if she needed it, she got it.

But Lunchbox, when you hear this happen to somebody, how does that make you feel? It starts making me go through my life and think, okay, what dead people do I know? Like, who in my life has died? And so I need to start playing, like, maybe the day they died, maybe their birthday, or how many years they've been dead. Okay. I would do that with your next one. Figure that out and run it. So, yeah.

Yeah. Well, I mean, that's the only way to go about it. If this, it worked for this lady. why would it not work for me? Well, it probably hasn't worked for 99.999% of people who have tried it. But I liked it. That's where your mind goes. Because I bet you most people play birthdays.

They don't play death days. That would be my guess. Like Scuba plays birthdays. He doesn't play death days. So. I don't think we really remember death days. Like, I guess I have to recall it specifically. I get to it.

But a birthday, like, I just know it. Yeah. Like a death day, I'm like, well, she died. Oh, yeah. But that is the day they went to heaven. So, I mean, that kind of works. Rebirth the day? Yeah.

Yeah, man, maybe that's their sign. We've all been waiting for... Do some death days. We've always been talking about like, oh, send me a sign from above. And they're like, well, idiot, play the day I died. Signs. Amy saw orb. I forgot about this.

Didn't you see like your dad? Well, I was taking a video and I saw, there was a blue orb in the room. But why are you saying, oh, boy, like you don't believe it when you just get this whole... I know. I know I'm contradicting myself right now, but get out of it. here. It was also in the room that my dad, you know, lived in for like a day before he, you know, was put on life support. That was all very, very weird. But it was literally in that room. Let's pause. The orb was above his desk that I inherited. Let's pause. Where were you exactly?

What exactly did you see? What time of day was it? Nighttime of sitting in a chair across the room. And my cat was laying on top of my dad's desk. And I was like, oh, I need to get a video of her. She looks so cute. And my friend and I were in there. And she was like, oh, yeah. So I start taking it and I see the cat, but then I see this blue orb, like hovering all around. And then I kind of go over to this other part of the room with my camera. And no, no orb, but above the desk floating around was a blue orb. And it was blue, which, what kind of bird is my dad? Blue Jay.

That's right. Do you have a video of it? I do. Can I see it? Yeah. But why is it always on video? Why can't we see the orb? That to me is more believable.

Well, it's like we can't see certain colors that animals can see. I can't see colors that you can see because I'm colorblind. So we hear different frequencies. We see different frequencies. But I think the orb usually comes with a camera lens because that's what it creates. And that wasn't a bug. I'm watching. There's a blue.

It doesn't go. But I mean, are you? That's bizarre. What do you see, Bones? Are you sure like the kid didn't flick the light on? No, I see it. It is weird. I don't know what it is.

It looks like a giant, show Eddie in lunchbox. It looks like a giant blue moth. It's not. It's like a humongous blue moth. This is the desk? It's a laser pointer. There's no laser pointer in the room. Oh, yeah, that's a light.

It's a reflection of the light. Yeah. Totally. Yeah, because the light's on this side. Same place. Amy, where was that big? Because that's, wherever you're pointed is where the orb is. That's not true.

She moves off of it. I know, and then it goes away. I don't know why I'm fighting for the orb. I don't know either. We neither. It looked weird. It looks like it might be him. That looks like the UFOs that I saw from my house.

Prove it's not him. Yeah, prove it's not her dad. Whatever, I don't know. It's kind of crazy. Did you think it was a light coming from something else? Well, now that, I mean, there is a lamp over there, so I'll have to go, maybe I'll go see it. But he may not always be around. The lamp will, though, and the orb will show up.

Eddie saw UFO once, but it was actually the light from his phone. My wife's phone on the bed. Yeah, on the end of the window. True. Speaking of Eddie, let's see get the scam alert, scam alert! We have an update here. So the scam alert was what? I got a letter in the mail that said that the government owed me $3,000.

All I had to do was go to a website, claim it, and it's mine. So we're afraid for you, scam alert. You guys said go back and make sure it says dot org right because if it said gov, right? Dotgov, yeah. Oh, crap. Anybody can buy a dot org. Isn't that designated for like 501c3s or something? No.

No, it can be, if it's just available, you can get it. Guys, you said dot org. No, we said.org. We said dot go. Oh, no. Why, what happened? I think it said. Dot org and I claimed it.

But what did you give them? That's okay. All my info. It said put all your info in here and we'll process it. Not.gov. Dot org. Organization. Let me look up.

It could be. Dot org, but I know that when I have been given money from the government is dot gov. Let me double check. God, this is stupid. Dude, if I got scammed again, I went back to it, I told my wife like, All right, we need to look for the ORG.

No, G-O-V. So let's say I wanted to buy Butcrack Lobby.org. Could I? Let's see. I can get butt-cracklobbby.org for $9.99. You can buy an org easily. Okay.

You can't buy a dot-gov, though. Why don't you check your history? Look at all these you can buy. You can buy org. dot CO.sux. Dot online. Dot shop. There's a lot of them.

The one you can't buy is dot gov. Oh, it says here it was originally intended for nonprofits, but it's since expanded. Yeah. Yeah, even scams.

I can buy the buttcrack lobby. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It was dot go. Oh, my gosh. This is underwear all over again. But no, but this is a good way, though. This is the good thing.

Okay, it was, I double checked. It is dotgov, and I did submit all my information, and they said it's being processed. You will get your check. in 30 days. Do we think he'll get a check? Yes.

Dude, if you get $3,000 out of nowhere? But that's crazy. Where was that money sitting this whole time? And does everyone get this letter? No. Did, it should be easy to identify the governments on the internet using a dot-gov domain shows you're official. The public shouldn't have to guess what of the site is official.

And you're sure it's dot-gov? Just double-check. Dot-gov. Oh, thank goodness. Thank goodness. And here's the thing, too, like, why send in a letter? Yeah, who's opening a letter? Call me.

No, I didn't answer that either. There's just no way to get me. I'll be honest. Just send it to me. There's no way to get a hold of me without me thinking it's a scam. I wonder if partly they kind of hope, well, we did our best.

We reached out. We're hoping they don't get it, receive it because then we get to keep the... If we don't claim it, they keep it? Yeah, it's like the lottery. If you don't claim the lottery, they just keep it all. That's brutal.

Let us know when that money comes in. I will, dude. Or when your identity is stolen. Either way, I'll let you know. On the phone, Lisa and Virginia. Hey, Lisa, good morning. I am very excited because I bought three tickets to your show in D.C. this weekend for myself and my two kids. Suddenly I'm a little bit nervous about bringing the kids.

I'm wondering if we're going to show up and it's all adults or what the vibe normally is. First of all, there's no profanity, no bad words. So as far as kids, it's fine. There are always kids in the audience. But, I mean, it's a comedy show. I mean, how old are your kids? How old is your youngest? 11.

Okay, that'd be good. If she was like, or he was like four, I would say maybe not the show, because again, you're doing spoken word and comedy. But again, there's music. There's videos. So, and there are also kids there. They're always kids there. Not a ton. It's not, you know, the wiggles, but there are kids there.

So you will be fine, Lisa, and I think your kids will have a pretty good time. I appreciate that. Virginia Beach Friday night, Washington, D.C. on Saturday night. You guys can get tickets at bobbybones.com. Coming up, someone on the show is concerned for someone else on the show, but they want it to be totally anonymous. So, no, it's concerned. It's not tea spilling. But why are they concerned about?

But is the concern a way to spill tea? Right. It's concerned. We will talk about it next. The person on the show wants to remain anonymous, but they have a concern for the show. So they didn't want to make it about them. They just wanted to express what they were concerned about. So we took the voice changer and changed their voice so you can't tell who it is.

And here is that person saying what they're worried about with the show. I would like to report Amy for cornering artists when they leave the studio. She has a habit of doing this. I've seen it on numerous occasions. They go into the green room or somewhere in the hallway. And Amy is there and talks and talks and talks. please keep this anonymous I just want you to know what's going on

and I want you to put a stop to it I know exactly who that is Hey we're keeping an anonymous here The way they're talking Keeping it anonymous here Amy This does not happen on the regular At all whatsoever

I think that they're Go ahead If this is about the other day I was getting content Something for Women of I Heart Country That we needed to do With who? Or wanted to do

This anonymous person was talking about What artist do you think? I believe they're talking about Ashley McBride. Okay. Was it clear through Ashley McBride's people to do that?

It is, is it, Eddie? Was it you? No, trust me. It wasn't me. Yeah, okay. So you're saying that didn't happen? It wasn't what the anonymous?

No, I don't. Corner artist. The lot of times I stayed here in my desk. Hold on. There's another message. Okay. If you're hearing this, it's because Amy denies it happened.

I know she's going to deny it happened, but it really did. Ashley McBride was in the green room packing up when Amy entered the room and placed herself between the door and Ashley McBride. So Ashley McBride had nowhere to go. She had her back up against the cabinet where the snacks are.

Amy had the door block and Amy proceeded to talk and talk and talk and talk. There was nowhere for Ashley to go. So dumb. She was stuck. And Amy had her claws on her and wasn't going to let her go. And by clause I mean her voice of just talking and talking and rambling. I was a witness, and I just want to say it wasn't a good look. Don't deny it.

Don't deny it. It's funny. Amy, just say it. Admit it. You did it. Okay, that person's anonymous. Out of the gate, I said it was Ashley McBride, and I said why. And there's no way I was standing between Ashley and the door.

Well, I just want to keep that totally anonymous. Yeah. It's crazy. Amy can't say anything anymore because anonymous just covered everything. He even called it. You're going to deny everything. No, but he's wrong. I didn't.

Correct. No. Lunchbox is. wrong. What do you mean? Whoa. What are you talking about? How do you know that's him?

I just feel like it's lunchbox maybe. Oh, how? We keep it anonymous here. Some of the word choices, like how he spoke is how lunchbox speaks. Now you're a detective? Yeah, I was listening for food.

The anonymous listener just said we should watch out for you. And if you say you didn't do it, you didn't do it, but just be aware of it. Out of the gate, I told you, I know what they're talking about, Ashton McBride. And then the next clip is him saying,

I'm going to deny it and not say it. And it wasn't a cornered situation. Amen. Good. We're all aware now, right? So what's Amy going to do? She's going to stop doing? I just needed to be aware that somebody anonymous is worried about it.

Okay. Got it. No, it is. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Most women are still taking their husband's last name. I know. Yeah. We had that discussion.

I was like, you don't have to take my last name. But I mean, I think that some people are thinking like, oh, maybe the thing to do is not. But 80% of women are like, yes. I am excited about taking my husband's last name and I want to do it. I'm surprised it's only 80%. You think it's more? No, no, no. I would have thought it was more.

That's one out of five that aren't, which is great. But I don't think you should have to take my last name. I don't own you. But I told my wife this, I said, hey, you don't have to take my last name. If you love your last name, keep it. And her thing was, when we have kids, it's just going to be confusing that way. And so that's why I changed my last name. I'm saying it now on the show.

Well, there's other categories people can fall into. Like, there's a certain percentage that keep their maiden name. like 5%, 5% 5% hyphenate, and then another 5% the men are taking the wives' last name. I think if there's a much cooler last name, I would be down for it. I don't care about her having to take my name

because it's how to, I don't think tradition for tradition sake is good. However, I got her point. I want to have the same last name for kids. But if her last name was like rock star, well, that's, I would change my name. Why not? She'd have the cooler last name.

Or if I had a last name that was like, poop head. Regardless, if first was Smith, I would change out a poop head into Smith. I think it's just situational. All right. So we've talked about the love languages before. A lot of people know some of them touch, quality time, acts of service. But now there's texting love languages. How people like to be communicated with in text. Yes. And there's a relationship therapist. Her name's Charlene Douglas and she came up with them and she says you can even add this to your dating profile so that whoever is thinking about dating you or matching with you, they know, how to best communicate with you over text.

Is it just romantic or is it all? I think it could be all. I think you could add it to your profile or you could just use it in your relationships. Direct. Here's what we need to do. Execute. End.

To the point? Well, it's like I'm not, we're not really having a chit chat. But I usually only text. But I don't do a lot of texting for the sake. And I don't have a lot of texts that are just read like, hey man, what's up? It's all direct.

Like, what do you need for me? You got it. Yeah, that's not one of the. of the texting love languages. Okay, eggplants. Be direct, be direct. Definitely. There is an emoji one. Like, they like to communicate with gifts or emojis. Eggplant. Mm-hmm.

Peach bought the peach for sure. And then, p. Yeah. The water. Stop. There's text of affirmation, which this person loves to be messaged all day long. It'll never be 12. Mm-hmm.

It'll always be 12. Whatever. Yeah, go ahead. And there's quality texter. They want detailed messages. Yeah. So opposite of you. There's text of service. Like, hey, they want to hear from you if you're reaching out to make plans. Okay, I would be involved in that one then. Text of service?

Yeah, like, what are we going to do? Why are we texting each other? Okay, cool. I'm glad we are, but let's figure out what we're going to do. Oh, yeah, you are. You're text of service because it's used for practical reasons only. Yeah, yeah. And then there's light touch, which means, sure you can text,

but I would really rather talk to you in real life. That's not me. I'm the opposite of that. Heavy touch. Let's stay on text. Let's keep it heavy. All right, what else? Congratulations to Hank William,

Junior. He just, I got married for the fourth time. How old Hank Jr? He's 74 years old and he found love with Brandy, who's 43. So congratulations to them. She better like cigar smoke in her house. Yeah. I'm sure she's aware. We learned that the hard way here.

Don't go watch Hank Jr. on the show. I was always a Hank Jr. fan. He came in and he wanted to smoke in here. He's just like, we can't do that. And then, you know, it's up there on the internet. It is funny. It is funny. And it was both of us just being a little bullheaded at the same time.

Yeah, and then what did he say? Am I done here? Can I leave? Yeah, something like that. And I said, no. Am I done? I said, no, sit right there. Wait, tell me this. Tell me that.

Okay, now you're done. What a day. Okay, is that it? Yep, I mean, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home, it's not been good.

On the morning of August 23rd, at doll rock diner in rollette texas a woman walks in sits down at the table says i'll take an omelet hash browns toast and some water eats her whole meal i'll take my check please waitress brings the check she signs it and leaves when the waitress goes back to the table it's a two thousand dollar tip no name, no picture, no recognition, just an angel tipper. You guys with angels today. You heard you do Angel Eddie this morning. He knew Mind Had Angel, he knew it.

So then, later at lunchtime, the Mexican restaurant across the street, guess what? Same lady walks in. Order some food? Don't have her order. Don't know if it was enchiladas, fajitas, or tacos. She leaves another $2,000 tip. her third $2,000 tip in the area in the last month.

Who this lady is? Nobody knows. One day, hopefully, we will. I'm sure they're cameras. Like, I'm sure they can find out who it is. But she doesn't want to be recognized. Which is crazy. I know, but he's making it sound like it's like, he can't believe that she doesn't want to be known.

Like, you got to like snap a pig, look, $2,000 tip and then bounce. Have you giving it? Be like, I did this. Yeah. I'm going to do that next time I'm going to go somewhere. Next time you give it $2,000. Do it, $2,000. When I do a big tip,

I'm going to put a picture up. Like what's big? Yeah, I think it would be awesome. I'd love for you to do that. Yeah, but it needs to be a big, big one on $2,000. Yeah, big tip. Oh, like how much is big? Like, $100 is big?

That's big. Yeah, depending on the bill. You want to do that, be like, I'm doing this. Who care? I don't care what you do. If somebody else can have their life enriched a bit, you take all the credit you want. Okay.

It didn't cost me anything for you to take credit, but it helps somebody else. Okay. I'm going to do it. Okay, cool. We're with you. But the only problem is if I show my receipt, Are you going to be able to see my credit card number or is that?

No, because your whole credit card number won't be able to. Okay, cool. Also, you can just black it out. I didn't think about that. Yeah, yeah. Put it in story first, but don't upload it and use the tools to black it out and then save it. Smart. Here we go.
