Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up? Welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning Studio. Morning. All right. Let's check in with everybody. Let's go around the room. I didn't know if I wanted to cry or laugh when he signed my ball with Larry Bird's autograph. It's Eddie. Oh, man. Dude, I waited a long, long time to watch this movie.

And now that I've seen it, I'm like, what a terrible movie. What was it? The Bling Ring. Oh, about the people that robbed the celebrity's houses? Yeah, we've talked about it for years. And I'm like, ooh, it came out what? Like in the early 2000s? And I'm like, I'm going to watch this someday.

2013 is what it says. Oh, yeah, 2013. And I finally watched it the other night. Dude, it is terrible. The movie or what they did wasn't that interesting? No, no, what they did is amazing. That's why I always wanted to watch it. I mean, they broke into so many celebrities' houses in Hollywood.

It did all kinds of stuff. Paris Hilton's houses. How did they get in? The doors, every house had a door unlocked. Every house. That's how they robbed. They would just go around and check all the doors? They would just go and, ooh, this sliding door is open.

Let's go on in. No way. And sometimes. they wouldn't even steal, they would just hang out in the house and act like they were the celebrity. I mean, the story is unbelievable. But the movie was just them doing it over and over and over. There was no cops at all. There was no like that scene where the investigators are like, hey, what do we have here?

Like, do we know who it is? Nothing like that. It was just them going to every house doing what they do. Terrible movie. Terrible movie. Crazy story. Dude, it's crazy. And I think there's a new documentary.

That's what I was going to say, did you watch a movie or was it a documentary? No, this is the original movie that they made with. Emma Tom's? Yeah, I don't know, dude. Emma Watson's in. But I won't be watching it. Don't watch. It's a waste of time. Next up, the sale of the pallet items will most likely never be complete,

but we were impressed that he put some of them in a spreadsheet. Lunchbox! When you go to a concert, it's your decision. Stand up, sit down, whatever you want to do. The artist should not be up on stage scolding you. And Madonna found out the hard way. Oh, I saw this. She is in the middle of her concert and some woman is sitting down.

and Madonna starts going Why are you sitting down? There you go She was in a wheelchair This is terrible Madonna She said sorry about that Yeah

Politically incorrect Oh my goodness That is so Like She has a choice to sit down anyway Like she doesn't have to stand up Yeah And then they'd point at her

And then everybody's going Wheelchair, wheelchair She's like Politically incorrect That is crunch for sure I saw the headline and the video started playing. I couldn't watch the video. I know. It was terrible.

Because it made me discrence that. Then she just goes back to her concert. Yeah, what do you do? All right, next up, Dr. Loria praised her Madame Alexander dolls and find out they're worth some money, but some of them were missing limbs, which made it pretty funny. It's Amy! So I was in a meeting the other day, and I had a headache,

and it was kind of like one of the headaches that's like all the way around your head. And I guess it's called a tension headache because one of the girls there was like, oh, yeah, I get tension headaches sometimes. And I didn't have any. pain reliever. So she said put a pencil between a he, like that. Yeah. And that just like kind of keep it there

gently. You don't like bite down super hard, but that it should eventually like give some relief. Is it because you're giving light tension to the tension? I don't understand. Yeah. So I googled it later because I was like, wait, what is behind this? And according to doctors, gripping a pencil between your teeth can potentially relieve the tension in the head. You just have to simply put it there, not bite down. And it'll relax the jaw. So it'll stop sending spasms of stress and tension to the head. If you use your finger.

Oh, that'll hurt. Well, that way you don't bite it all the way down. But it would look weird in a meeting. Yeah, like you're, but yeah, you can kind of kind of have a pencil on your mouth during a meeting. But I just thought, well, I don't know if it worked because it was really relaxing me or placebo effect because I thought it was going to work. It started to work.

Either way, I'll take it. Put a pencil. What about a pen? It doesn't matter. I'm sure it's whatever you have. Got it. All right. Ramon, go ahead.

From Mount Pine, Arkansas. He's a great tipper. all the time. So usually the waiters get in line. Bobby Bones. Thank you. Hey, question. When is too old honestly to wear Jordans? Never. Never. Okay. If that's the answer, that's fine. I did a speaking engagement last week and I have on one of my favorite pair of Jordans. There are ones. And someone's like, hey, dude, you're too old to wear Jordans. Who said that? Somebody on Instagram. So I just really was wondering, like, at what age is too old to wear Jordans? Maybe there isn't one. because I feel like those are casual dress shoes.

They're clean. I don't wear them often. But they are tennis shoes. But I would never play ball in them because they're not really made for that. Too old for Jordans at what age? I feel like you'd be 70 and wear them. Yes. There are no restrictions to what you wear.

Well, sometimes. I mean, I think there are certain things people wear. You're like. Okay, bathing suits. Got it. No, but I mean, let's say, I don't know, what's something that kids would wear now? A hoodie? You can wear that when you're 90?

Or a jersey. Wear a jersey when you're 90. I think you wear whatever too. But I'm saying generally when the public would start to judge you. Dude, you do you, man. You look good in your Jordan's wear. I'm going to anyway. I'm just saying, I didn't think.

That's a great question. I didn't think there was a, on those shoes specifically, I didn't think there was a max age. I think they're kind of universal. And what are you about to be 44? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But he's also. He's 48. Just saying he's still rocking him. I hear you. Okay. Well, I feel good. Morgan, what do you think? You're the youngest.

No, I don't think you're ever. too old for Jordans. Those are like a classic shoe to me. They're a tennis shoe. See, I feel that way too. They're a classic shoe. Yeah. I guess if I were wearing uh-oh. Like something newer? Not even newer tennis shoe, but there are certain dress shoes that are, you need to kind of be in your twenties to wear.

Like what? Really loud, like, Prada type shoe. You're just like, nah, you're too old for that. Oh, really? I think so. Oh. Because there are definitely clothes that older people shouldn't wear that young people do wear. What about like tall black boots? Like for women. You think they can wear those? No, as long as you got the body to go with it, we're good.

So it's only body specific. Yeah. That's relative. Do I have the body for Jordans? I have no idea. Okay, just asking. Let's open up the mail bag. You send an email and we read it on the air.

It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I used to smoke and more than a few years ago, we switched to vaping and then eventually quit together. Recently, he started vaping again. It's driving me nuts. He's constantly puffing on a stuff.

vape like it's attached to his hand. There's a permanent cloud of vapor in our living room. It's getting him a last nerve. I'm trying to be understanding because I do understand a bit. But I don't want to be that nagging wife, but I also didn't sign up for living in a 24-7 vape shop. How do I bring this up without causing a huge fight? Should I just ask him to take it outside or address the whole bad habit?

Signed wife of a vapor. Yeah, that's tough. I'm going to go to lunchbox first on this one. Lunchbox, your thoughts. Ha, man, listen, let him, let the vape, like just, you're married, so vape it out. Okay. You know what I mean? Like, you're not going to divorce him over it.

Yet. Right? Is that divorce worthy? Probably not just that, but I guess if it, it's kind of the gateway into just being like, I screw it, I'm going to do what I want. But you're right. You're not going to divorce from it. Right.

Okay. Let the vape, he says. Eddie. I think eventually he'll get. to the point where like he's going to quit vaping. You just have to let him get there. Oh, so exhaust him of vaping. Well, no, I mean she was a vapor so she understands.

So was he, exactly, right? I know, but I'm telling you, once he kind of feels isolated, it's like those smokers that like I started smoking to hang out with people in the balcony and now no one smokes, so I'm up here by myself. I think eventually he'll get to the point where like, I should probably stop vaping. It could be six months. It could be a year.

It can be four years, but eventually he will stop. But part of her issue is the house smells and looks like vape all the time. Yeah, but she was a part of that too. So what was, was. And they agreed together. Okay, I hear you.

That is your opinion. That's my opinion. Amy? I think you can absolutely set boundaries around this. Like this is something that, you know, if someone wants to, I don't know, what's one of like another habit? Like they're, maybe y'all. Oh, dip.

Okay, dip. Even, that's still going to be annoying, but you don't smell that. I mean, I guess if you have to kiss them and stuff or you find dip cups around the house. These are things that can be gross and disruptive. But if someone's like, look, you're addicted to the, well, no, you're not. No, you're not. You're not addicted to the game thing that you do on TikTok? Not addicted. Not addicted. Okay. Well, so there's some things people do. It doesn't disrupt. I'm a bit. Hi, Bobby and I'm an addict. It doesn't like disrupt the house. Like, but your game doesn't make the house smell. Yeah. And it's not, you know, whatever. This is something where she absolutely has

every right to set a boundary. And I think in a calm way, she could also share with him some of the side effects. Oh, don't do that. Like all the pictures and stuff. Oh, God. Don't be. When I caught, whenever I didn't even catch, I did not know that my husband dipped at all. When we were

first married, he was a pilot in the Air Force, and I was cleaning his flight suit, and I found a can of dip. And I thought, well, who's this? Somebody left their dip from my husband's pants. In his flight suit. And And come to find out, a lot of pilots in the Air Force were dipping because they did it to stay awake.

But you do it all the time. And so I printed out pictures of people missing half their face because they got like jaw cancer or something. And it didn't help. You know why I don't think it helped, honestly. It didn't. I'm not recommending you do that. No, no. That's not bad for like a kid, maybe.

I was 26, 27 years old. But I would think that he as an adult fully formed brain would go, I know that that's a really severe example. of the worst case and odds are if I dip forever it's not still not going to be that because what you're doing showing the worst case yes yeah but I like it that's a good approach I think with a kid that's a good approach here was also the big mistake is he was like special forces air force I think that in their mind they're like do you know what we do on a regular basis and you're gonna like yeah show me half of the face yeah I'm not worried about my day see half face people I'm well or just like this is not the scariest thing I do yeah like I do far more difficult things and I'm like I got fine you

the dip to stay awake. She starts dipping with him. Okay, so here's what I would say. I don't think you're going to convince him to not vape, right? Because he's just going to hide it from you otherwise. What I would say, and I wouldn't even say rule, but the boundary

that I would negotiate is, I'm not going to vape. We quit. I would love if you didn't vape, but I'm not going to tell you not to because I know for some reason, stress, whatever, you're vaping. But you have to do it outside because it makes our house smell bad, and I'm embarrassed when people come over. Like for that reason.

And I think that's probably, where you can go and that he will go and be annoyed at first, but I pay for the house too. But I don't think that's too much to ask because it's not just about him. It's not just about you. It's about what your house looks like. Also, I would still ask him at times, could you vape a little less? Don't nag, but I think if you could express that in a way that doesn't make him defensive,

I think that would worry. You may never get him to quit vaping, but at least the one positive step is outside. And then maybe he gets so annoyed with having to go outside, especially in the winter, that he's like, I'm not vaping for a while. Then he's done. But I think that's probably your best step. You could come up with other fun activities to do together to take his mind off vaping. Activities?

Yeah, doing it. It's about it. Yeah, it's about it. I was like, hey, I'm going to vape. Oh. Or her. You do this. Yes.

All right, that's the nail bag. Thank you very much. Close it up. We got your email and we've found to close Bobby's mail back. Eddie, what's up? Yeah, we got an email at work. Somebody in the building said that. there's been a car in the garage parked for over a week and it needs to be moved.

And they described the car and it was a Nissan. So I'm like, oh my gosh. A Nissan car. A Nissan car. The Ultima broke down. And now Lunchbox has abandoned his car in the parking garage. Your car are doing okay, Lunchy? Car is great.

Eddie's just trying to create. It's clickbait Eddie right now. Did you not see the email? Yeah, it said the exact type of car. It was like a Nissan Z-R something. Oh, his ain't a Z-R, dude. what is Z are they nice it has a it has a

like a cover over it like they're storing it for months like without running it so I mean it had all the description in there so Eddie was just trying to get something you know like needed something he's like I'll just write this up but no the ultimate's good man don't act like we like I got clickbay from lunchbox too

don't worry oh okay well don't act like Ray left his car down there forever they had to tell him like hey man that's got to go sure right right but they gave you the exact type of car it was I didn't see the description I just saw Nissan. Let's do this. I want to read to you guys bits that I know you guys have sent as just like Clickbait and raise the original

Clickbait Ray. So clickbait. This one's from Lunchbox. Uh-oh. He wants to talk about how he's beefing with a country artist. Complete clickbait. Go ahead, lunch. I mean, I am beefing with an artist. Miranda Lambert because I walk in the office the other day and there's two

brand new pair of boots and one is to Bobby and one is to cake. And it says, thank you so much for your on-air support of the much strut, you know, sale that I have every year. And I'm like, what? Caitlin has nothing to do with that. She doesn't come on here and promote it.

She doesn't have anything to do with this show. I know she's Bobby's wife, but she is not the one that helps do that. So I'm going to say there's no way in the world he'd really be mad about this. This is just him wanting to be. If you're going to get free boots to people that promote it. It's not free boots. We donated money to. We're part of the show.

No, we also donated money as well. So by support, she means money support. Bobby and Caitlin. We put her on the air, yes. And then we also denote it in money. We often donate to Miranda's cause. And I think even he probably thought that a bit. No, I did not know that.

Okay, but it's this clickbait lunchbox going, I'm beefing with an artist. Yes. Because I was annoyed. I was like, what did she do to promote the thing? Like, I'm not to be rude, but you're the one that promoted it. You never do not to be rude. So this is how we know you're clickbaiting.

Never in your life. You said not to be rude. I was frustrated. I was like, man, why does Caitlin get a free pair of boots for doing nothing? Here's what it says. It's a card for Miranda. Bobby, thanks for always talking about Mutt Nation and also for your support on the rescue. Here's the best Miranda.

Yeah, always talking about it. Caitlin doesn't talk about it. We donated money too. That's what I'm telling you. Well, now it didn't say anything about thanks for the money donation. I didn't know that. Who says that? It doesn't say thanks for the money donation.

The dollar amount? Yes. Okay, well. Yeah, and here, let me tell you the article, Eddie, the email was said, Black Nissan 370Z. That was the title of the email. For sure, clickbait from Eddie, too, but you're the same. Okay, I got boots from Miranda.

And look, sign. Wow. Is this your size? I'm not going to wear them. Let me see. These are her boots. And plus she did say that she was going to send those. Yeah, I asked to say, would you sign?

Yeah, but to both of them, that's what I'm saying. What sign? What's saying? What's sign? Thank you for the support on air. Hold on. Now Amy's trying to steal my boots. They're cute.

I had Miranda sign them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Those were hers right when she, like, emptied out her closet. Hey, these are game-worn Miranda boots. Yeah. Like ballplayers, like game signed LeBron's.

Oh, I just started opening Caitlin's, and I probably shouldn't have done that. That's Caitlin's, man. I'll just tell her it came open. All right, Caitlin's. Oh, man, they're cool. Oh, cute. Caitlin elected, and these are not signed.

I can't keep on. Oh, yeah, those are real cute. They're denim boots. Did lunchbox want those? I don't understand. I would like a free pair of boots. I don't know. They're her in the box, though.

You know they're her boots. If you remember the show that we did with her, it's all her boots that she had in her closet that she's worn. Correct. Oh, I thought they were like for you to wear. Click mate. Done. No, no, guys.

So both you guys, I get it? I literally had no idea. I just saw brand new boots, two brand new boxes and I was like well okay I don't understand why you didn't even ask any question so thank you clickbait Eddie well part of my would I ask me and her were beefing so I couldn't ask her at that point go ahead part of my clickbait is that I have a solution for lunchbox in his car but you guys will never ask what that is what is it it's a huge solution what is it I got a buddy of mine who opened a car garage and he turns old cars into electric cars so he said would you want

to spend the money on that to make an electric car though I don't know if he wants the ultimate for the rest of his life. This now can run for the next 20 years. That's cool. Electric Ultima. It'll be one of one. Alachrama. Exactly.

Electrauma. Lunchbox, you interested? If he's going to do it for free? Why would it be free? Well, he might for... Well, I mean, the dealers, the Nissan, they told me they could give me a new engine for $8,000. But, I mean, that's not... Hey, once the engine goes out, the spark plug is going to go out.

The color rate is going to go out. I'm click baited out. Thank you guys for both trying to get something on the air. And you guys, you guys, weren't even that upset or I was not happy. I was not going to listen to anymore Miranda. We weren't going to play it on the show.

She came on the show in the interview you were part of. You were there. Yeah, yeah. But that was the last one she was going to be on. Oh, you were going to ban her from the show? Yep, because I was upset about being treated that way.

But now that I know you donated money, I really don't have an argument because I didn't donate money. I thank you. Thank you, click baiters. No problem. All right. Mike, we should start keeping track of all the crap they send us. It's just a clickbait segment.

It's every day. It's every day. That's not so much from Amy. Honestly, not so much for Amy. But between all the rest of you guys, it's like, you sit home, you're like, man, I really wish I could contribute to the show. How about this? I saw the light today.

I thought I might have died. How do you angle it, though? It turns out, it turns out. Eddie's light flicker, when he turned it on and then light bulb went out. Well, they are inspiring me. To think of better headlines. Thank you. This stupid.

You guys are still loved, but this was stupid here. It's time for the good news. Tango has been a good news. dog, but he's terminally ill. He's in a hospice, and he's being cared for by people that take care of older dogs. And that part of it sucks. But at the house where Tango is staying, there was a burglary attempt. And Tango went Toby Keith, which is, I'm not as good as I once was.

But I'm as good once as I ever was. He was older. And Tango, who doesn't have a lot of energy, got up and went crazy barking. So the homeowners were like, that doesn't sound. normal of Tango and the burglar wasn't all the way in the house yet. He had just like, and so they came down and Tango saved

them and luckily the burglar didn't like a tag. The burglar ran off. So that's awesome. It's the Golden Paul Hospice Foster Program which people take care of these dogs and Tango saved the house. Golden Paul. Yeah, I know. That's cute. Man, big shout out Tango. Yeah, man. They say like get a dog

because just the bark alone could really like save your house or save you? You just get a sound machine. Rov-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-RU. Tango, big shout-out. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey there, folks.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes here. And we know there is a lot of news coming at you these days from the war with Iran to the ongoing Epstein fallout, government shutdowns, high-profile trials, and what the hell is that Blake lively thing about anyway? We are on it every day, all day. Follow us, Amy and T. for news updates throughout the day. Listen to Amy and T.J. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.

And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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 Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Bobby Bones show now.

Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank. Barbara, good to talk to you. Thank you for spending some time with us. My pleasure, Bobby. We just had a deal on the show. We had a PhD in education come in and she tested a lot of us for dyslexia. And it was a pretty emotional show

because you're talking about four adults and two of the four. And again, it wasn't so much a bit as it was a learning experience on the air that ended up being a comprehensive. compelling segment, but two of the four needed to have what she said was an intermission for dyslexia. Because Eddie on our show, he was like, I think I might be dyslexic, and I just never had it ever diagnosed as a kid. So she was a PhD in education, and she said, I'll come up and test you guys

what I do with kids usually. And so two of the four of us were diagnosed with dyslexia. Do you have dyslexia? Of course, but you know, most people find out they have dyslexia. When they have children and it's diagnosed in their own children, they recognize themselves. But until they recognize it in themselves as adults, they think they're stupid. That's the damage that's done by dyslexia. Nobody's as enlightened or told that it doesn't mean you're stupid. It just means you have a different way of learning. And I'm glad you said that because Amy, who's my co-host here, whenever she found out and she started to see that some of these things that were seemingly easy to others were a struggle to her, not because she didn't know something.

it's how she was interpreting it. She started to get emotional and cry because she felt like what you weren't. I think, well, it was, there was several layers to it. Some of it was vulnerable doing it on air and like feeling exposed in a way, but also relief because I'm like, oh, okay. Yeah, like this makes sense. Now I get why high school, college, even, you know, going back junior high, is such a struggle for me.

And I did have a narrative, Barbara, that I was. was, yeah, stupid. I mean, there was just times where I thought, well, you know, this is my story in my head and it would loop over and over, even though I would try to do therapy and fight it. But now there's an explanation and now hopefully I can do something about it. Yeah, how was that for you when you were, when you found out you were dyslexic? Well, initially, when I found out I was dyslexic, I was relieved officially, but I knew I was dyslexic as a kid, or at least I knew I was dumb as a kid.

But let me tell you something. It wasn't until I was older that I realized what an advantage it was. It was an advantage being in school early and being made fun up. It was an advantage being rejected and getting over it. It was an advantage of being different than other kids and being okay as an outsider that you didn't fit in. And it was an advantage in growing you up really fast. But fortunately, I had a secret weapon, which was my mom who told me, you can't read, don't worry about it. But you have a wonderful imagination and you'll fill in all the.

blanks and she was right I mean she built up the part of me that was the gift of dyslexia my imagination which is definitely a gift and with that I was able to really create ideas businesses people see things differently than other people you know you have so many gifts as a dyslexic adult especially if you're building a business because you can recognize talented people you have more empathy in people you know how to read a situation because you're intuitive much more than the average learner There's so many advantages and you're accustomed to being an outsider and in business that turns into an innovator, which has been my greatest gift. Which I'm so thankful that you're on with us today because we just had this. We had a lot of parents that were listening where they're having to address this with their kids.

I got to ask you what question she asked. So they did. It was like a four part. It took us a while. It took us a whole hour. She would one of the parts was there was an entire sheet and there were like 200 letters and numbers, but some of them were just backward. And you had to go through it at 90 seconds to circle as much. many that were backward as possible. And so that was a part of it. There was a reading of the words.

That was a embarrassing. That's the worst. That's the, that's when I cried, Barbara. Yeah, that's what she cried. You should cry because it runs so deep, that sort. And so many parents, you know, I'm glad you're here because you're wildly successful. And you're someone who was dyslexic and found the advantage to it because you did have to approach things differently. And in a way that other people hadn't. And when you pave a new way, that's often what leads to success. Yeah. If you're dyslexic, the right field for you to go in is to be an entrepreneur. My business is that I've invested on Shark Tank, I always look for the losers.

The losers as kids, the kids that got judged hard by their parents or teachers and didn't think they were going to go anywhere. If I get a loser in my portfolio, they always become the winners. They try hard. They have something to prove. It's their forte. They're out in the real world. They get specialized in one thing and they do better than anybody else.

Dyslex is all the way to go if you want to make money and business. In entrepreneurship, that is. In an corporate environment, forget about it. You don't get promoted. You have to learn like other people. I want to talk about Barbara in your pocket because it's so cool. And my wife subscribes to a few different people on Patreon. And so you're doing Barbara in your pocket on Patreon.

So people can actually come on as part of it and do live Q&As with you. Of course, you know why it's so important because entrepreneurs with them starting out, they might look like they know what they're doing. They start out that way, but in shorter, they start doubting themselves. What I think you need more than the actual hardcore business advice, like how to get the money, how to manage your cash flow, how to manage your day, all those topics I address. But you know, the one I address the most is how do you believe in yourself? How do you feel like you're entitled to be rich?

You're entitled to make something of yourself. You're entitled to show off and say, look what I've done. And it comes harder women, even than men, but everybody struggles with that. Entrepreneurs need a lot of help. And usually they start out as a party of one. They don't have a sounding board. Their doubts are quiet. They don't want to bring them up and they don't want to admit failure and they don't like to ask for help.

I shove my help at them, try to anticipate what they're going to do, listen to their question, then really read behind the question and give them the right answer that they can move forward. I think it's so essential. You know, not everybody has a mentor. I'm a good mentor. I know how to build businesses. And it's easy for me to rip off and tell them what they ought to be doing. And the really good ones always listen and execute right away.

I'm just crazy about it. I think it makes a big difference. You guys can go to Barbara In Your Pocket.com, and she has this Patreon community that you can subscribe to. With Shark Tank in it, I mean, season 15, do you ever feel like I just invested in a whole lot of businesses? I'm good. But you got to go back and do the show.

You have to remember the good businesses that you invested in. The ones that didn't make you, you're right, right off. You know what I have in my office? I have all the pictures of every entrepreneur I ever invested in. And when I don't think they have the talent or they're a victim and feel sorry for themselves, I see that in the progress along the way or lack of progress. I turn that picture upside down. So I always know when somebody's calling me and wants help, wants me immediately,

I look at the wall and see, are they upside down when I forget. And I talk to the people that are right side up because they are my winners. Amy has a question for you that she was nervous about asking. I don't know what the question is going to be. Amy is nervous, I doubt it. Yes, she is nervous because she has a vulnerable question, but you can have it if you want to ask it. Oh, yeah, no, typically I'm not to speak on anything,

but I was married for 17 years and got a divorce last year. I never handled finances in our marriage at all whatsoever. I didn't even know how to log into our bank account. It's not proud of that. But I, obviously, the last several months, have had no choice but to get heavily involved. And we have two kids. I wanted to stay put in the house that we're in. But, you know, the real estate market got a little crazy and our house went up a significant amount. So I was buying him out of our house at the highest amount possible.

It's been gone. Yeah, it was horrible timing, actually, especially for what we bought it for. So yay him. But I'm the one that chose to stay there. And then, you know, he went and bought a different house. So this is just us splitting at 50-50, but I took out a heloc to get the cash to do that. And because I wasn't involved and I wasn't paying attention, I just kind of thought, oh, well, I need a lot of cash. I'll do this. And it was at 8%. And now that I'm involved, Barbara, I am sitting down and I'm looking at numbers. And in my mind, for months, I have been paying towards this helock. But because it's 8%, I realized it hasn't budged at all. So I've been paying towards the interest. And I don't, I feel, I don't know if I just was doing what I needed to do to survive at the moment or if there's

another road for me or what I should do or if you have any advice on how to get it down. Just a different way of looking at it. Ten years from now, you're going to look at yourself and say, thank God, I bought the house. Because you're looking at value now, what it was in the past. memory is your deficit. It can't help it to measure against what's come before. Gets in the way of me investing in properties. I think, gee, I should have gotten that building last year for a hundred, you know, a million a half dollars and now I have to pay two million. Why would I want to do that? The new kid on the block comes in and pays a two million and makes a fortune five, ten years from now when it's worth seven million, you know?

So your deficit is that you're remembering, comparing it to what you bought before. But in ten years, five years, that housing market is going to go crazy across the board and you'll be making more money about the interest rates and not paying down your principles so well that's the way loans work they hardly pay down the principal for the first five years you're killing yourself it's mostly interest you're paying you can't change that and you're only paying one percent more than the current market can you refinance it one percent makes about a 10 percent difference in your monthly payment would that make a life change for you you might be obsessing over something that isn't as important as you think it is. What do you say about that? Oh, I feel a lot of comfort hearing you say that.

Because I think now that I'm just new to getting involved. And I'm thankful that my, my mortgage in this, it's my only debt at the moment. So I'm just going to take your advice. Yeah, and I can. So yeah, thank you for that. That's comforting to hear like I don't need to obsess over it. But I'm proud of myself for being involved. Next time you get married, make sure you do a pre-nup. And if you forget about it, then do a postnup after you get married. It's very important for women. Or doing both, Amy, you should do them both. A postnup is a thing?

Yeah, it's post nuptials. I get it. Oh, right? Yeah, yeah. I just never heard of anybody doing a postnup. Barbara does one every week. With both my husband. Eddie, you have a question for Barbara.

I do. I do. Barbara, so I have a smoking chicken business called producer Eddie's smoking hot chicken. And by business. Cool name. Thank you. See? She likes it.

And by business, I mean, I mean, I like, just kind of make a really, really good smoked chickens, sell it to my friends and family, basically. I want to turn this in a hobby in a business maybe, huh? Totally. Yes. And I want to make this into a legit business. But everyone I talk to is like, man, food is really dangerous.

Like, it's just really risky to go in on food. What is your opinion on going into a food business? Oh, listen, my best investments are all food businesses. A, I love the individuals that run them because they're usually carrying people that want to feed people. They're nice people and they just do business well and have people respond well to them. So forget about a food business being a bad business. They're profitable. I think the hard thing is going to be from you to move from your family and friends, figure out your cost, your heart cost really well, your shipping costs, figuring how to get online, figuring how to advertise it,

which eats away at your profit. But if you can figure that model out, why not try it? What do you want to do? You want to be an old guy 10 years from now? And you want to say, I wish I should have could have? No. You want to try it and push it as fast as you can. I mean, it's a good name. If it's a good recipe, other people are going to like it. Unless all your family and friends are lying to you.

Are they lying? I don't think so. No, that's good. That's good. It's good. All right. Go for it. Three final questions for Barbara Corcoran, which, by the way, go to Barbara in your pocket.

And you can see all about her new Patreon community where you can do live Q&A's with her and so much more. Lunchbox, a question for Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank. Yeah, so there's businesses you pass on on the show. Are you allowed to outside of the show to keep following them and then approach them later if you say, you know what, I made a mistake and go after that business? It's a great theory, but let me tell you, the minute that door closes and that business is out the door,

I never think about them again. I mean, there was one business in season one, believe it not, that has stuck with me, but the people have long passed away, which I did pursue after the fact. It was two old people having, underwear lined with charcoal that if they had gas, you couldn't smell the gas. I thought, what a stupid business, but it's haunted me for years thinking, gee, that's a great

business. Who wants to be smelly all the time? But those people are long gone. That's the only one, I swear. Usually they're gone, they're gone. There's so much on shark tank. So many businesses walk through the door. So many new opportunities that you can't really regret anything that you've passed on.

Final two questions for you, Barbara. With Mark Cuban leaving, how do you feel about that? And how is it going to affect the show? Brokenhearted. He's big shoes to fill. They're going to really have to hunt to get somebody to fill his shoes. Mark, if you realize it has so much going for him, number one, he's got a billion dollars. The rest of some millionaires, having a billion dollars means he buys a lot more businesses,

a lot more activity. That's one. He's got a big personality. He's a lovely man. What you see is what you get. He's sincere when he works with businesses. he really helps him. Mark is golden. I wish I hadn't married him when I met him, but he was already married because I could still have my hoax in the guy. I sit next to Mark. He does all my

math. That's very helpful. As a dyslexic, I can't add things up. I say, hey, Mark, tell me, how's this, what percentage says? And he always does my math for me. No, I'm going to miss him dearly. But the show will go on, but it's not going to be an easy time replacing Mark Cuban. A final question for you, Barbara. And by the way, everybody, check out Shark Tank Friday's nationwide ABC at 8.7 Central. And again, BarbaraIn Your Pocket.com, which is a Patreon community with exclusive content and exclusive access to Barbara Corcoran. My question would be with you and your organization, how many unread texts and emails do you have currently, and do you have a rule about unreading them all by a certain point? Before I go to bed at night, I'm one of these phobic people.

I have to read everything. I just can't go to bed without answering stuff. So I read hundreds and hundreds, but I'm really good at it with my one-figure typing, and I've learned how to have short responses. And do you have 40 or 50? Just red dotted throughout the day? Like on your email right now, will there be 100 right now if you don't check it for an hour or 1,000? Oh, I don't have my phone here, but I would say 30, maybe, I'm guessing.

That's almost noontime, right? That's not so bad, right? That's not a lot of span. Yeah, mostly it's all spam for me. I have so many blocks in place, really. Okay. I just thought of a bonus bonus question.

It might be something like you would see on Barbara in your pocket. And it's an idea that just popped in my head about my loan, Bobby. Because the bank is 8%. Do you want to loan me the money at 3%? You ask him, Bobby, I could tell looking at him, he's cheap. He's not going to give you the money. I give it to you at 7.5. Well, but how do you feel about friends, loaning friends' money?

Bad idea. You know, you have to do, you have to decide what? what's more important, getting the money, the discount, the deal, or losing a friend. In my mind, losing a friend takes a lot more energy to replace them if ever you really do it than losing money. I lose money any day. The biggest problem I have being an individual that's positioned as someone with a lot of money is everybody's got a $10,000 problem every day of the week.

You know, I used to loan people money all the time. Now if I have a family or friend or some relation in some way wants $10,000, I give it as a gift. because I do not want to lose the friend. When you lend money to a friend, what happens is the equation is off balance. You know, you're the superior person who did the lending and the person who got the money as nice as they are, they'll resent it.

It ruins the friendship. I've never seen it succeed. All right, Barbara, thank you. Everybody check out barbarain your pocket.com. Bye, Barbara. Bye, bye-bye. Let's do some dude news. Yeah, let's go, dude.

It's not normal. Normally a place for dude news. We're going to do dude news now. Brought you by South Dakota. We're all dudes. They didn't even sponsor the segment, but I'm thinking about a dude shop in South Dakota. Yeah. South Dakota for dudes.

That's also not there. All right, so we don't allow any girls in our tree house. It's all just dude news. Dude's talking about dude stuff. Lunchbox, dude news. There's dudes all the time. Lincoln, Nebraska. A 17-year-old gets pulled over, going 117 miles an hour.

Wow. And the cops like, dude, what are you, you know you were going 117? He goes, yeah, I only have a 45 minute lunch break. I'm going to hook up with my chick. I got to get there. Can you hurry up with a ticket? A cop escort? Dude news.

The cop's like, got to give you a ticket, but whew! How awesome is that? He just straight up told the cop. I'm going to hook up my chick. I got 45 minutes. Let's go. Dude news. That's such a dude thing to do.

It's a idiotic thing to do. It's dude news. Ray Mundo, Dude News. Hey, dudes, is your romance in a rut? No. No, dude. Okay, well, if it is, experts say to physically take time away from your partner, and that improves the hormones, and it makes you feel more attached and attracted.

So, go golf. Go on a dude trip. Take time physically away from your chick. Dudes! That's why we go on that trip, dude. Dudes. South Dakota for Dudes. Let's go.

Eddie Dude News. So in New Orleans, the cops department, the police where they keep all the narcotics that they seized, they had a bunch of marijuana in there. Somebody broke in. They tampered with the evidence. There's a bunch of marijuana missing. They looked at the surveillance camera. What did they find? A bunch of rats.

The rats went in there and started. Taking the drugs. Dude, they started eating all the marijuana. And they found out, they heard Bob Marley playing in the middle of the night. No, that's not true. But the rats part's true. Yeah, dude. They're all like, hey, man, what's up?

Dude news. That's pretty cool. Finally, on my dude news, let's talk about sports and money. Let's talk about one guy that has made $411 million. Oh. Playing quarterback. Kirk Cousins just signed with a different team.

He's been with the Redskins at the time. Yeah, yeah. And then he signed with the Vikings, and he just signed with the Falcons. And he's only won one playoff game ever, but he's made almost half a billion dollars. That's awesome. It's like that guy we saw in Vegas.

Who was it? The backup quarterback? Chase Daniel. Oh, who's made a ton of money. He started like two games in his career. He's only played a couple of games in this career. He's made so much money. He's retired now.

In 2016, so his first deal was a standard rookie deal coming out. So he's made like $2 or $3 a year. But in 2016, he made $19 million. 2017, he made $23 million. $2018, $84 million on a three-year deal. Then $66 million. million and this one's $180 million deal. That's so much money.

I'm doing the wrong job. You couldn't do that job. He's won one playoff game. Yeah. And he's coming off an injury. Yeah, he gets beat up a lot. But $411 million through the end of this next contract. That is crazy.

Dude news. Do news. Bracian do dude. Brought you by the dudes state in South Dakota. I send that to him. I don't even know they want us saying that. I don't know. I don't know.

I've not talked to anybody from the visitor bureau of South Dakota. I bet you they're a bunch of cool dudes in South Dakota. I would love that. Or they could be like, awesome jigs. I don't know. That's true. Good news. Thank you.

It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So Norma Hernandez, she has cancer and she was upset that she wasn't able to get her nails done before she had to go into the hospital. Which I can understand that feeling. I feel like when my mom was in the hospital fighting cancer, a lot of times she wanted to look good. You know, you look good, feel good, feel good, you know. So she didn't get her nails done.

A local nail salon heard about it in Lubbock called Absolute Nails, and they showed up at the hospital to give her a complimentary manicure. That's awesome. And it's about so much more than the complimentary manicure. It's about the thought and caring enough about it to take part of their day to go help her. And I'm sure it made her feel so much better and cared for. That's a great story. See, you don't have to be a millionaire to affect people's lives.

and shout out in Lubbock. What's her name? I get my nails done there. What's it called? Oh, well, her name is Norma, but Absolute Nails. Absolute Nails. Put out my calendar.

Next time in Lovick, getting nails done. Yeah, and then shout out to Norma's friend, Debbie, because that's how Absolute Nails heard about it. She was calling around a different salon to see who couldn't possibly come up to the hospital to help.

Shout out to everybody, you know? Yeah. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of IHeard Media, and I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast,
