Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. Morning studio. Morning. Let's go around the room and check in, which is what we do to start every single show. This next person got AirPods as a gift for Father's Day, and according to him, they're brand new.

And they've blown him away. You didn't know they existed actually. Here he is. Producer Eddie. Hey guys. I brought you that chicken the other day. My chicken business is booming. I already got four orders and I'm thinking of different ways to make more money and I came

up with it. Genius, genius ways to make more money. Can you call your own self a genius? That's just a weird thing. You can say a genius way. Yeah, genius way. Okay, go ahead. Like I was in the shower and it came to me.

This is amazing. For an extra $5, I'll cut it for you. Right? If you order it normally, it's just whole. For extra $5, I'll come. Cut it for you. I don't hate it. That's what I'm talking about. I don't know that it's genius, but I don't hate it because it's been done at every restaurant in the history of time. But I do think it's a good offer. I'm not done. Oh, there's more. For an extra $5 on top of that. Oh, my God. It's a $40 chicken. So if you want it cut. And I will send you a video of the chicken being smoked.

For how much? An extra five bucks. That's not worth that. You should throw that in anyway. Hold it. But why would you want? There's more. There's more. There's more. And then 10 more dollars. Go ahead. It takes three and a half hours to four hours to smoke it. I will give you a link for an extra $10 and you can live stream your chicken smoking. Now, all that's funny, the live stream and the video, but that should be free as part of your, like the novelty of it. Wait, well, it's going to take effort for me to be there and like set the camera up and live stream it. The second things are funny, but that's stupid. No?

The cutting is actually pretty decent. If you'll cut the chicken. It's good chicken. I hate to admit the chicken's really good because he's obsessed with it. it now. It's really good chicken. Also, I heard you're asking for like naughty pictures from people here in the building. All I'm saying. What did you hear Eddie

talking about? Who saw him? Eddie talking to Ryan McKitty about like sexy pictures? Yeah, who did it? Was it you that saw it? Oh, it was Abby. Abby, Abby, were you talking about that? Yeah, I was going to my car and he was like, hey, McKitty, can you send me those sexy picks? And I was like, so he

apparently McKitty bought one of them and he had it for dinner, but he had like two pretty blonde girls over. And so he, he wanted him to send him pictures of the girls eating it. What? For yourself? No. No, no, no.

I didn't say that. Let me tell the whole story. I was like, while you guys are eating it, if you can get videos of the girls eating it and saying like, oh my gosh, the chicken's so good. And then tag me on Instagram and I'll repost it. It's for the chicken business.

You just want to see the chicken. No, I don't. But why do you call them sexy pictures? Because, like, you know, sex sells. Yeah, sex sells. I'm saying? I mean, here's the... The chickens are how much?

20 bucks a pop. If you want to cut, It's five extra, 25. And then to watch it stream, obviously, another 10. I mean, yeah, it would be like 30 bucks. Yeah. I would never want to watch stream. A other chicken.

It's three and a half hour stream, dude. It's a lot of content, for sure. And it's cool because it starts like raw, you know, but then you slowly see it get cooked. How do you put the camera? How do you, there's a camera not melt? I don't figure that out yet. I'm looking at that. How many chickens can you accept at one time?

I think the most, I can probably do 10. A day? Yeah, I do. I'm telling you, my wife, or she's at the end of the rope. You just started the business. No, no, no. He even told me, he goes, dude, I'm only doing it one day a week. You can't order until Monday of the next.

And I'm like, well, I think the demands of the raise the price of the chicken. But my wife went grocery shopping. She didn't have room in the fridge for anything because there was all these chickens in there. And you got to get a new fridge. That's why you need an investor. That's what she said. Yeah. Are you going to stick with this?

Dude, we're going strong. So why wouldn't I? The total amount you've spent is. Spent? Yeah. On my chickens and everything? Probably $100. And how much have you made?

About $120. So you've made $20? Yeah, but I mean, it's the start of the business. Got it. Okay. That's how it goes, right? He is turned into annoying. Like, you know how he used to do his reels and be annoying about it?

Now all he does is his chicken talk, and it's about as knowing as the reels. Well, wait, but how much was your smoker? Did you already have that? I had that. Oh. But, I mean, I did buy it, but I had that. Keep us in the loop. And it's called...

Producer Eddie's smoking hot chicken. Smoking with an end, like apostrophe, you know? Like, smoking. Yeah. Thanks, Eddie. Yeah, dude. Yeah, thank you. The only thing more unlikely than this next person,

accepting reality when it comes to his fame. It's his favorite team. The Chicago Bears actually winning a meaningful game. Here he is. Lunchbox. Guys, I had a run-in altercation with Old Dominion. They were at the NASCAR race this weekend. I was there and I saw them filming something.

And so I just start screaming at them. Old Dominion! Old Dominion! Do you not know their name? You've met them 20 times. Not even met. You've spent time with them. I know that.

that couple of them. Trip. Trip is in a band called Lanco. Yep, yeah. Didn't know that. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, so I just started yelling at them. Dude, they, in their video,

you hear me on their social media, yelling at them, and then they bring the camera over to me to say what up. And I still don't know if they know who I was. They were just coming over, they thought I was a fan. You have the audio? Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah.

We're the Grand Marshal. We're taking a victory lap here pretty soon. But we just want to say thank you guys for having us here at NASCAR. Thanks for listening to our new music. Come see us on the road. I'm all the ones doing. Good to see you. Good to see you.

Celebrities hanging with celebrities. They had to know who you were at that point. That's why they asked the question. I think at that point they did. But at the beginning, one of the guys was looking over like, who is this weirdo? It's hilarious because it just, you hear you coming from. from afar. It's like a train coming down. That's funny. That's good.

All right. The next person you can catch her read in the morning corny for this show or listen to her Four Things Podcast by going to IHard Radio. Here she is. Amy. My Madam Alexander dolls arrived. The ones that my mom packed away in 1999. I didn't know when she packed these away.

She acts old. She acts like that's like so long. 1990 year. I didn't know when she boxed everything up, but she stuffed it with newspaper. And I pull it out, and it's the Austin American Statesman from 1999. And so that was the answer.

I was like, wow. The year of our Lord, 1890. And I have opened up every single box and looked at every single doll, and my kids are creeped out by them. They think they're very scary looking. But I'm ready to get them appraised. Yeah.

Dr. Lauren. Aren't you supposed to leave them boxed, though? I put them back in their box. No, no, I don't think you're supposed to open them. But my whole childhood, they were aligning the perimeter of my room. They've already been over. I thought, okay. Right.

My mom just saved the original boxes. This is my suggestion. I think we should be hilarious. Are you going to take me as an investor before you get your number or no? Okay, what's your investment? I'm just asking if there's an option to that. Options, yes. There's always options.

I'm open. I like that. Everybody's got a prize, Ted DiBiasey. That being said, we need to give Dr. Lori another, that's what I'll after the 4th July, just because we got around on that coin prank. Yeah, we need to straighten that up. Well, it's not straighted up. It's just like, let her have a little space.

Come on, Dr. Lori prank. Do the prank with me. Do the prank with me. Do the prank with me. So, yeah, after Fourth of July, we'll get her on and see what's up. Cool? Cool. No more pranks.

I swear to God, no more points. I promise. You got us good, all of us. Yeah, I promise. Good. You got us real good. So good. For days.

One of my buddies sent me some clips from Facebook where people were like, that was a bit. The whole show knew they were in on it. No. No, no chance. I'm telling you guys. I was so, man. So dumb. I was like, I went home to my mom.

I was like, how does he get so lucky that he gets his stupid coin? It's $100,000. Like, how? Like, how does that not happen to, is that all ever? But it didn't happen to me either, though. I know, but at the time, I thought it did. And I was tip. Ray Moondow, hit me up from Mountain Pine, Arkansas.

He's doing a bunch of comedy shows this year. So let's all tip a beer. Bobby Bones. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, we did announce yesterday. just following that up. We're adding Tulsa.

Tickets go on sell on Friday at 10 a.m. But a second show in Tampa and Wichita and Nashville, and we're doing the show in Austin. All the tickets go on sale Friday, 10 a.m. local time. That's not what I'm talking about here. But we did those second shows so scalpers couldn't charge a ton for tickets. So we're going to put more out there. That being said, I want to talk about my dog Eller.

We bought her this box of treats. It's a plastic tube. It's almost like a Pringles can full of long beef jerky dog treats. and we set it on the shelf. She's pretty smart. She's Husky Lab. No, Husky Hound. And she's learned to swipe things down.

And what I did not know is last night she swiped it down, ate the whole thing. Every, every, I woke up and went into her room to take her out to go to the bathroom. Everyone's gone. The can's wide open. Amazing. Her stomach's going. It's rumbling. So I took her out.

She didn't use the bathroom, but I know when I get home today, it's going to be a bad day. Volcano. It's going to be a bad day. But I get it because I do that too. I have IBS. And so I would just eat something and go like, let's go, oh, it's all here. I'm going to eat it all at once. But then afterward, I'm like, oh, my God, why did I do that? So that's the situation I'm dealing with. It just happened. I just wanted to share it. So

it's relatable. When the dog goes hard. Because she went ham on the whole thing. That's crazy. She can get up there and, like, get it. It's no. She's so stupid that she ate the whole thing. I text my wife. I was like, hey, did you happen to take all these out and put them in a plastic bag? So she would. She was like, no? I was like, oh my God. It's going to be a bad day.

It's time for 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've ended up in a tough situation after trying to surprise my girlfriend. Last week, I bought tickets to your comedically inspirational shows for my girlfriend's birthday. I was going to print them out and put them in a card as a surprise. And I was going to print them out from my email and had to use the shared desktop computer. When I went to pull up my email, she was still signed in.

I didn't mean to Snoop, but I noticed the top email was titled Catch Up Soon. It was from her ex-boyfriend. I didn't open the email, but I couldn't help but read the first. A lot of things were like, I didn't mean to. I couldn't help. I couldn't help. That's funny. I didn't open the email, but couldn't help but read the first line of the preview.

It looks like they've been emailing a few times. Now I can't help but thinking that she's planning on meeting up. She hasn't mentioned him at all. They were in a serious relationship, but it's been over five years since he's been in the picture. We've been dating for almost two years. I know. I violated her privacy, but I can't stop thinking about it now. Should I bring it up or wait until she says something?

Should I hold off on giving her the tickets? Sign, bothered, B-Team boyfriend. First of all, you got to come to the show. Let's get that show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. That'll bring you back together. Why don't you two come up, we'll talk about it on the stage. Ooh, yes.

Like, she doesn't know, and then we'll just kind of, we'll spring her it on stage. Oh, gosh. That would be awesome. I don't even know what city they're coming to, but this is what I'm going to say. You did not do anything wrong as far as you didn't go. snooping into her email. You did pull it up and it was sitting there. Now, you didn't click into it.

I will say there's some restraint there. Which is amazing. Exercise and some real restraint. So good for you. Do not put into this guilt on yourself. I do think it's okay to go, hey, I was up pulling out my email and your email was up. And the first thing was up there was your ex-boyfriend seeing you an email. I didn't open it. But can you tell what that's about? I think there's nothing wrong with that because that's exactly what happened. Oh, you think he should tell her? Ask her. Yeah. I saw this email. Yeah, because he didn't Snoop, if he would have logged into her email and been like, I think something fishy is going on, let me log in and see what's up. Or if he just checks up on her like a creepo, then you can't say anything because then she knows you're creeping her.

However, he wasn't. He literally got on to check his own and it was up. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying what you did because what you did wasn't wrong. What about letting the scenario play out? Like if she meets up with the ex and doesn't tell him, now we've got trouble. Then bust them. But you know, you have the intel. You just sit back with the intel and watch it play out.

What are you, Scova, Steve? I hear you. You know what I mean? I just think that you can bring it up. And if you've been together two years, the relationship deserves a little bit of communication and honesty. I think that's hilarious. And I would like to see that happen with my own personal sake. And then we play it out on, again, on stage at the show.

But you're fine to go to her to say, I was opening my email and your email was up. I saw it from your ex-boyfriend. I didn't click into it. But don't do it in a way where she has to get on her heel. immediately because then she won't respond, she'll react and you don't want a reaction, you want a response. Say, hey, I was just going through. I saw that your ex-boyfriend had sent an email to you.

I didn't click into it because it's probably nothing. But, why is he emailing you? You know, put it on him a little bit and see what her answer is and see if she starts flustering around. And depending on how she answers it, you'll know. Your guts right most of the time. But you got to come to the show. Either way.

Yeah, you got to come. Bring your new girl to the show. if you have to bring a new girl to the show. All right, thank you. By the way, if you guys want to come to the comedically inspirational shows, a lot of them are sold out, but depending if you're in D.C. or Vegas, there are still some tickets left. Just go to Bobby Bones.com and get your tickets.

Be in Vegas on September 9th and D.C. on September 16th. All right. Thank you, guys. That's the mailbag. We've got your email and win on the clothes. Bobby's mail bag. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day. And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know. The cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know.

Her name is Ellie Kemper. Man, you know her from so many things. But she was Aaron on the office. I'm a massive fan of the office. I'm a massive fan of Aaron on the office. She was in bridesmaids. She was Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. and she got a new podcast called The Born to Love podcast that is out now on IHeart Radio.

Here she is. She's super funny. Erin from the office. Kimmy Schmidt. Ellie Kemper. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Ellie Kemper. Ellie, how are you doing?

Bobby, I'm really good. I'm better now. Thank you for having me. You know, I felt bad because Ellie and I have a mutual friend. It's my family. It's her close friend. And I went on Ellie's podcast, which we'll talk about in five seconds. But then I called my sister-in-law and I said, will you please apologize to Ellie?

Because I think they made her put my episode on very first because they launched his podcast. And I did not do that. I'm not a divin anyway. Bobby, what? You're the opposite of a diva. Nobody would ever put Bobby and diva in the same sentence together unless it were like, I don't know, some strange sentence. There are producers who are like, we must put Bobby Bones first.

Scott and I said, yes, of course. That's an obvious yes. We knew it wasn't coming from anyone on your team. We knew it was coming from I heart because everybody loves you. I felt I did feel bad. Did she call and tell you that I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry because I did. I felt like a genuine guilt.

She texted me. Okay. And she texted Scott and me because we're all friends. So Bobby, Bobby's sister-in-law is a good friend of Scott, my co-host and mine. And she texted and we said, what are you talking about? Please, we should have just corresponded directly, Bobby,

and taken out Blythe as the middle woman so that we could have been direct. But yeah, the message was conveyed all. I hope all fears were allayed. And thank you. Thank you for coming on our show. Yeah, it was awesome. So the show is called Born to Love. And it's you and Scott Eckert.

Now, when you say Born to Love, you're talking to people about what exactly? Anything that they love. And when I say anything, I mean anything. I mean a movie, an activity, a drink, a food, a clothing item. The more obscure maybe, the better. And also what we love,

and this pertain to you, is when somebody comes on, And say they're known for a certain thing. And it turns out that they love something that's completely different from that. So like an athlete coming on and talking about how much he loves, you know, architecture or something like that, something unexpected. So that's what our show is. I saw Jenna Fisher was on.

What does she love on her episode? She loves Keanu Reeves movies. Oh, man, me too. I could have done that too. He's like my favorite in the whole world. You could have done that. You could have done that. Your topic was fantastic.

You love failing. Then you love learning from failure. Yeah. See, they pin me into a corner on this. They're so good. Her and Scott. They pin me into a corner. Yes.

And I don't love failing, but I was like, I love what I've gotten from it. And then they kind of rake me over the colds. And it was unlike anything I've ever experienced. And I cried afterward, just in case you guys were wondering. It's very emotional. If you want the full Bobby Bones experience on our show, it was really traumatic. No. The whole twist of yours is that you love failing.

What you just said, you love failing because it has taught you so much. And by the way, it's funny. what you consider failure because like you're so wildly successful. So if if that's failure, sign me up. Yeah, but you know, you know what it's like. There's all the stuff that people don't see. It looks glamorous, but it's it's it's a lot. And so yeah. Yeah. No, it, you know, I do these Peloton classes. You know, same. And you know, they're always shouting these inspirational quotes at you. And one was I, I'll, I'll botch it because I tried to say it to my husband yesterday and I really messed it up. But it's something about just because the backpack,

just because it looks like you're carrying the backpack easily doesn't mean that it doesn't weigh a lot, something like. That's not a very good one. If that's it, they should work on their. Oh, no, no, it is a good one. It represents. That can't be exactly. Yeah, that's too many words.

Yes. But the idea of it is like sometimes when someone's carrying a lot of grief, you may not even know they have a backpack on. The premise is great. I agree. But it's like if they're like, okay, everybody, if the backpack's too heavy, just don't wear it. So as long as it doesn't hurt your back.

I'm like, I'm not inspired at all. No, none. No. Yes. No. It was much more concise. It was like, the backpack is heavy, though it doesn't look it. Nope, botched it again.

I don't know what it is. We have to go through the tape. We have to go straight to the tape. I don't know. But you get the idea. With the podcast, the Born to Love podcast, and you and Scott are both, are you guys, were you guys both doing comedy of some sort? Because it was just like rapid fire LOLs with you guys.

When you joined the gang, it was like, wait a minute, were we, were we all three once together in an improv group because it was seamless. It was, it was wonderful. And yes, Scott and I know each other, and that's how we know Blythe too, because we all are mutual friend, because we all performed together in college. We did improv comedy together. So we performed together a bunch, written a bunch of sketch shows. So there's a shorthand there.

But that's why it was so lovely talking to you because you just went right, you fit right in. Will you talk about that as far as improv comedy in college? And when you went into college, did you know that wasn't what you wanted to do or was like a club that you said, let me just try this out? How did it happen? The second one. It was, that's a club. Let me try it out because I played field hockey my first year. And so I sat on the bench mostly, but I was on the field hockey team. And I went to college thinking, yeah, I'm going to play field hockey. And I only had four years. So I was like, I don't. And no, no, I don't mean, if you are sitting on the bench for four years and that's, you're getting a lot of satisfaction

from doing that, then do it. But I wasn't getting a lot of satisfaction. So I quit the field hockey. team. I had seen this improv group perform and I thought maybe I would be good at that. So I auditioned and really enjoyed it. And I'll tell you, I felt like, yeah, I'm good at this. It's much better than sitting on the bench. So that was, that's how I joined and that's how I got involved. Did you have a sense of belonging with the group like a like minded group of people? Is that a bit what it was? You're totally right. Yes. It was the group mind or whatever and it felt like, um, You know, I hadn't, had you ever seen improv comedy in high school? I didn't know what that was.

No, I'm from Arkansas too. I mean, Saturday night. I mean, that's not even improv. That's a sketch. That was the closest thing I ever saw to it. I had never seen anything where someone was making something up on the spot. And there was that thing, you know, when you find any kind of group or activity where you feel like, oh. I mean, this sounds really stupid.

But these are my people. Like, you get me. So there was that component, which is really nice and rare. You have to be really vulnerable doing. improv, much like writing in a group, much like even doing the show. Like, we have to trust each other a lot because we're on and we're live and there are millions of people listening every day and we have to have each other's back or we bong, which we do. We also fail miserably live sometimes. But to do that, you do improv, that is a lot of, hey, I'm going to trust you and I'm also going to kind of open

myself up here to hope that you catch me if I fall. That's exactly right. And you have to have that trust. And this will sound maybe trite, but I think there's such a great life lesson or guidance there, which is that improv is mostly about the other, making sure that your teammates look good. So it's about taking care of your teammates to serve. Now I'm getting really artsy, but it's to serve the whole piece. So you really have to trust each other so that you're making something good. And it's not about any one member, which I think really helps. And like the best improvisers are the people who don't necessarily get, you know, the spotlight, but are just constantly helping out the whole, the whole piece. This show here that I have, it's all my, we've been, Amy, how long have you

and I've been together? Me, 17 years. So, and Amy never done radio, right? These are all my friends from before. I don't really know what I was doing, but so I just grabbed all my most interesting people. And Amy was like selling granite. She had graduated for, or went to Texas A&M. And so we've kind of grown through this together. But in her last couple years, she's like, I'm going to challenge myself. And so she has a little part on an HBO, or I guess it's called Max or Snacks or something,

whatever. Now it's Max. It's Max. But she's like, I'm going to start taking improv classes, like as an adult, right? So what advice would you give her? Okay, well, first of all, congratulations. Wait, what is the Max show?

Well, it was a Christmas movie. It's called Holiday Harmony. Oh, my gosh. Congratulations. You're the only one who hasn't seen it. So yeah. Yeah. I am.

So I know that that's huge. And I don't, what advice did you say? What advice could you take for me? I feel like taking improv is so, an improv class is so helpful for anyone, whether it's like, if that is, you know, in and of itself the aim just to take an improv class because you want to, you know, learn about improv or if it's to help in other aspects of acting, it's all about listening and responding, which I guess is the central tenets or component of acting. which is like listen to what your scene partner says and respond.

And that's just as simple as that. And there's nothing that hones that skill, I think, better than improvisation. Because if you deny someone's reality, then it's like the whole thing falls apart. So where are you taking classes? Well, in Nashville, there's this place called Third Coast Comedy. And that's where I'm going to... It's behind a Waffle House, right? You're the only one?

No, I'm not. But my daughter, she's 16 and she found out signing up and she expressed interest. and I saw, I'm really glad you shared your experience just now when you were younger because there's a camp that I can sign her up for at the end of July. And so now I think I'm going to sign her up. It's for high school students and they get to show up for a few hours each day and practice improv. I love that. I really don't even know if such a thing was offered when I was that age, like at 16, you know, I mean, like in high school because I think that improv has gained such, or it's, I think there's just more knowledge of what exactly it is now. So that,

there are more classes like that offered. I just think it's really, I don't know. At the end of the day, I think it's a lot of fun. It's just fun. You're just making things up. So having said all that, I haven't performed improv with a group live in a long time. And it makes me nervous to think about. Because, yeah, you can't plan it. Any of your shows like Kimmy Schmidt or the office, were any of them, were you allowed to in any, okay, it's the final take, guys run where you want to run. Did you ever do any sort of improv in that comedy or was it all really scripted and, you know, you have to stay on point? Kimmy Schmidt was scripted so carefully and so precisely. I mean, there was not a word in that show that was improvised.

And the writing is brilliant and the jokes are so painstakingly honed and polished in the writer's room. And there's no improvisation on that show. And the show's fantastic. And on the office, there was much more. It was just a different style. So there was much more room to breathe, much more room to improvise. I personally never improvised on that show because I was like, leave it to the veterans and the people who have been here longer than I have. Like Steve Karel, Rain Wilson, I mean, basically everyone who has been there longer than I have.

But it was, they would do like, you know, three takes to scripts. And then they would do what, what they call a fun run or it would just be improvised. But also in the moment, I mean, when you have people who actually are trained in improv and good at it, there's nothing better than watching. them improvising. And bridesmaids, the, I, uh, Kristen, Whig and Melissa, they improvised so much stuff. It was such a joy to watch. It was just like, having said that, the flip side is, if there's somebody who's bad at improvising, you don't want to watch them. You're like, don't take the fun run guy. Just leave it to the pros. It's definitely not the same story, but when I went on to American Idol and I spent four years on that show four seasons, but I went in

later and the everybody was already there in place, like Seacrest was there, the judge, but they brought me on to be on every episode. And I kind of felt like I'm super happy to be here. And I don't want to step on anybody's toes, but I'm the new guy to something that's been running for perfectly for a long time. You did that in a much bigger way when you went on the office. Was that, is that difficult when you go into a situation like that? Bobby, it's not a bigger way. It's there, it's apples. It's two different things. And yes, I totally relate to that because you're like, clearly they have set up a show that has a winning formula and now I won't extend this to you, but I was the new, the only thing that could happen is something could get messed up with the

addition of me. So I was like, just don't, just stay in your lane and, you know, keep your head down and don't do anything wild. So it does feel like my Peloton instructors might disagree with me because they're always telling you to take the backpack, whatever with the backpack, but also don't stay in your lane, like make waves. And I'm like, yeah, there's a time and a place for that. But when you're new at a job, you should probably learn first and stay in your lane. Whenever, and again, don't know if it's the same for you, but the analogies are not the same because you're way more successful with this than I am. But when I went on American Idol, they brought me out for one episode that got turned into two that turned into four years.

Because I don't think they ever had a plan to bring me on the whole time because I don't think they could see what I thought the value I could provide. And luckily I did. Yes. What was your deal there? Were they like, Okay, here we go. Four seasons. Let's go. Six seasons. No, Bobby, you and I have a very similar track in some ways. I was brought on for like a story arc. And then, I mean, luckily, they just continue to extend my character's arc so that into a storyline so that she joined the cast of, or that I joined the cast of the show. So no, when it came on, I think it was supposed to have been for four episodes.

This sounds eerily familiar, Bobby. It does feel like. The same masterminds at hand. Bizarro world me. It's just way more talented. That's who you are. You're a bizarre world me. That's just not the case.

Yes. But aren't you, don't you feel like, I don't know, it's a testament. The American Idol's producers knew what they were doing by keeping you on.

If I may say so. I think they, look, I'm not, I'm nothing pretty to look at and I'm a, I'm a, what do you call it?

Like, what's beer? When you had drink beer, it's an acquired taste. But then you, I've never had beer, so I don't know. But you've no. Have you talked about this? You've never had beer?

I've never tasted alcohol. You've never tasted any alcohol. Never, no. And I just had everybody, everybody, I wish I could. I'd be awesome at it. I'd be the greatest drinker in the whole. I'm so competitive. I would win every drinking contest. I just, I have a ton of people that died from it. So I'm just like, dang, I can't do it. No, don't touch that. I'm a dick. I'm having a very addictive personality in general. Yeah. Yeah. What is your personality type? Do you do the Indiogram? What are you?

What's Indiogram? Well, it's like the Enneagram. E.N.E.N. Yeah, I'm a hillbilly. Sorry, I'm from Arkansas. India. Does he mean... Do you mean Instagram? No, no, no, no. Elle, you've never done the Enneagram that tells you your number? Like, I'm an eight, which is...

Oh, I've never done it. What is it? Oh, wow. It is... Wait, is this a very common thing, or do you talk about it? Am I missing something very obvious right now? Oh, yeah, I would say yeah. It's pretty common. It's not just an inside joke. It's a pretty common personality test. First it was love languages. They would do all that. The Enneagram, they give you a number based on the type of personality that you are,

and then the kind you match with the best. And for me, I don't believe in a lot of the hocus pocus, but it's a really good one. But you've never done it. No, but I'm writing it down so I can do it, you know, when we finish. What does it take into account? And what does eight mean? Your number eight?

A challenger. Yeah, a lot of great dictators have been eight. Okay. Good time. No, Bobby, I know I've only known you for, oh, well, I guess we talked for an hour in our show now. So I haven't known you for two hours yet. But you do strike me as someone who might share the characteristics of a dictator in a good way. Yes, because all dictators are obviously wonderful people that have the best in mind.

They're determined. Yes, yes. The best interest of the people at heart. No, Bobby, that makes sense. Well, I'm going to do mine and I'll tell you what I have. I'm probably, I don't know, timid. A six is a backpack wearer, so you'll probably do that. Yeah, backpack.

Spoiler alert. What is Peter Pan goes wrong? Oh my gosh. Okay, listen to me. Do you know that I'm on Broadway? Well, I mean, I. What does that mean? Are you, are you?

It's a, okay, so they have, so if there's this show, there's this play called Peter Pan Goes Wrong. It's by the same creators of this play called The Play That Goes Wrong. And it's a fantastic farce, spoof, fun, uh, slapstick. comedy. And it's, um, it's all British people. So you have to, you know, get used to the different accent. And, uh, it's a show on Broadway. And they invited me to come on and be the narrator for a week. And I'm doing that right now. And do you know what the best part, Bobby is that you may have guessed this. As the narrator, I'm narrating the show. But all of my lines are written down in the book.

So I, I don't have, what you say? You get to read the lines and I'm going to memorize it. That's exactly right. And I'm, and I'm husband said, well, don't you want to know them just like in case something goes on? I said, no. I trust the book so much more than I trust my own brain. And this is coming from, I should be able to memorize lines well, Bobby. I'm an actress. Can't. Nope. Not since the pandemic. I don't know what happened. I can't. My brain doesn't work the same. So all the lines are in the book. And it's been really fun. It's like, it's a show that's appropriate for kids. So kids come. It's a really joyful experience. So that's what I'm doing right now. Do you have to read it in a British accent? That was my fear is that I would have. And no, I don't.

I'm allowed to be me, Ellie, coming on as the narrator. So it's my accent. It's my Midwest, flat A accent, just gracing the ears of a theater full of people. I'm going to ask you one question about each of your projects. Let's start with the podcast, the Born to Love podcast. Why in the world with all that you're doing? And we're talking about the Netflix thing in a second. But why do a podcast now?

What a great question you have. And with all that I'm doing, that's funny, because you have 7,000 hats on. I'm not doing that much. And the show, the podcast was like a must do because it's with one of my, the longest, dearest friends I've had in my life, Scott. And we love performing together and we hadn't worked on something in so long. And he lives in L.A. I'm in New York. So it's an easy thing to accomplish long distance. And I'll just say this. We wanted to, this is corny, but we actually wanted to make something that was buoyant and joyful. There's a lot going on in the world. So we wanted this to be a really nice little escape where people like yourself, delightful personalities come on and talk about things that

bring them joy. So that's why we wanted to bring some light. We wanted it to be funny and not too serious. And we wanted to have a good time with each other. So that's why. A quick pivot. You always seemed, I know seeming is not reality because I experience this too, but you always seem to be in such a wonderful mood, like your personality or even the characters that you've played have always been so positive. Are you ever just like, man, I'm just, I just don't feel great. I don't want to have to be in a good mood, but because everybody thinks I am a half to be, or they're going to say I'm a jerk on Instagram.

Bobby, yes. Does that happen to you? Yeah, I'm very quiet. When I'm not on, I'm just not on. And so people will be like, I saw Bobby, and he wasn't even that nice. And I'm like, bro, I was in line at subway. What do you want me to do?

No, no. You, this is the thing. Now, what a lucky thing to be recognized and, like, appreciated in that way. But the thing is that you're human. So, of course, you're going to have. downtime. So you don't smile at subway, Bobby. Have a minute to yourself. Rest. I feel like when I'm at home, am I ever in a bad mood? Again, my husband's not here right now. But like, I just, oh,

same. When I'm not on, I'm not on. We'll leave it at that. Happiness for beginners. We're talking about on. And this is based on the book. And again, that's what led me to this question because again, this is that, right? And so this is coming at Netflix. and what's month seven? Hold on January, February, March, April, May, June, July, next month. Okay. So I'd have to do fingers for months. I love that. I'm actually better at you than something. Well, better than you at something. Because like I can name the month by the number. So this is- Very good. I'm good with July and seven. That's a surefire for me. But yeah. What this is coming on? What is this? It's coming at July 27th. It's a movie on Netflix.

And it's actually, Bobby, the title might be misleading because I actually play Well, let me back up. It's based on a book by the brilliant Catherine Center called Happiness for Beginners. And it's about a woman, an unhappy woman who is going through a divorce and decides to go on a hike to kind of, you know, for lack of a better way of describing it, find herself, regain some peace. And so that's me. That's the character I play. And it was and she does find some meaning. And it's a really, really lovely, sweet, uplifting story.

But it was fun to play, Bobby, a woman who's like grumpy. And she's a grumpy woman. And it was fun. It was really fun. The three projects left, the Great American Baking Show, when you did the Celebrity Holiday Special, did you eat a lot of food? Or is it just you do a lot and you look at it and don't? The second one, because you would think, oh, there's so much to eat here.

And they do offer at break time or whatever after the bakes are complete. They always call them the bakes. Isn't that funny? So when the bakes are done, they offer it to. anybody who wants it. But you know, there's only so much baked goods you can take. So it wasn't as much gluttony as I thought it might be. Yeah, I think I would eat all the time. Do you well, addicted personality. So there you go. And I used to work at it like I worked at Hobby Lobby and I would eat all the candy all the time in front of me, all the paydays. I cannot eat a payday today because I ate so many

paydays when I was working at Hobby Lobby. I hear that. And then you just like you can't. That's me and nutter butters. I can't. I cannot. Keep those nutter butters away from me. And I don't want that to happen to me with a payday because I love paydays. So I'll keep those, I'll keep those like rare and special. Two questions left. If they came back and said, hey, we love Kimmy Schmidt. We'd like to bring Kimmy Schmidt back. Yes, in a heartbeat.

I don't know what the question was. That was it. How would you feel about that? Because I loved that show. Oh, that is the greatest compliment. Thanks for saying that. I would say yes in a heartbeat. The brains behind that show, Robert Carlock and Tina Faye, are just like,

Supreme. There's nobody like them. So anything that they work on, I want to work on. And so yes, I would say yes and it's like. And then the performers, are you kidding? Like the rest of the cast, it's one of those things, Bobby, have you ever worked on something? And you're doing it, you're doing it. And you recognize that it's special. But it's not until it's over that you're like, oh my gosh, was that special. That's what's happened to me. The Born to Love podcast is what I felt. I knew when it was happening. I was really feeling it. Then when it was over, I just cried. I just cried because it was so amazing. I wish I knew the good old days when they were the good old days, Ellie.

I just saw that way about our hour-long chat. Thank you. And then finally, well, I'll just ask that leads into this. The final episode of The Office. How emotional was it and was it and how long was it? It was really emotional. And I felt like a little bit of a fraud because I did join the cast in the fifth season. So it's not like I'd be there from the start.

But I had all all the emotions. I hate it when people. say that. But I did. I had all the feels. And it was like, it was, why do I feel like it's stretched over the course of two weeks? But that's what comes to mind. And yes, people were crying left and right. It was a really like emotionally charged episode. And I just remember seeing Rayne Wilson weep. And I was like, the, the, the, you know, the, what am I trying to say? The tears of the clown or whatever. Some, some, you're good with words. What am I trying to say? It was like, wow. I've never seen him cry before is what it was like.

You did good there. Do you have any backpack stories you can tell us to, maybe? I told you. It's why I'm not a Peloton instructor, okay? Believe me, I've tried. Everybody that's listening now, check out the Born to Love podcast. It's super funny. I'm on an episode.

I did not mean for the episode to come out early. Bobby insisted that it be the very first one. I demanded. I said, fine. Yes. It is super funny. So it's Ellie and Scott. It's called Born to Love.

Even their logo looks rock and roll. It looks 80s rock and roll. Yes, that's exactly the vibe we're going for. And I have to thank you again for being so nice to come on our show because I know you're very busy and we really, really are grateful to you for taking the time to be on our show. Well, I'm a massive fan. You're awesome.

And I asked Blythe to my sister-in-law. I was with her last week and I said, hey, would Ellie and I be like be friends in real life? And she was like, oh, yeah, she's awesome. And so now I really, I didn't believe it at first because I thought, what, maybe a fraud. But no, now I'm fully in. No, no, it's real. And we're going to be, you know, oh, right, you don't live in California. Yeah, I'm in the middle.

All right, never mind. I keep saying, oh, we're going to be in California. We'll all get together. But we won't get, maybe we'll zoom together with life. And it'll be like we're in the same room. Yeah. Are you one of those people that go, hey, let's do something. And then you never really do it.

That's it. Yeah. Cool, me too. So we won't. That will never happen, Bobby. Yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool. All right, you guys. Good to see you.

Good to see you. Bye. Thank you, Bobby. Thank you, guys. Bye. Bye. A win is a win. A win is a win.

and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, look for up and coming talent.

He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there.

It would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, I'll make something good. The other night, Robert Sneed from Ohio was going to Walmart with his daughter, and they get there, and they go and get a shopping cart.

He pulls it out of the thing. He gets it. He gets it. He gets it. He grabs it. It's not a shopping list. It's an envelope full of cash. $2,000 in $100

bills. He's like, uh-oh, what do I do here? And there's a bank slip in there. He's like, oh, well, I can take it to the bank, return to the bank, they can figure it all out. But it's like 9 o'clock at night. He's like, oh, the bank's closed. I can't do that. What would you do? Keep it. Yeah. I'm just surprised you said it like that.

I appreciate the honesty. I mean, it's... Oh, man, it's happened. When I worked at Sam's, Renee found a bank bag. Renee. $2,670. One of the ones you zip? Yeah.

But where was the bag? It was in like, you know where you put a child? Yeah, and the shopping cart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because all we did was pick up shopping carts, and he happened to get that cart. Renée was a dude? Yeah, Renée was a dude. French?

No, Hispanic. Got it. And he came over, and we counted it right there on the side. And? $2,670. And we looked at each other, and he's like, I ain't turning that in. And so we just. just said it, like out there where the cart, like where our lemonade stand was and everything,

he put it in a box. He's like, someone comes back for it. Fine, they get it. If not, never saw it. Two and a half hours later, and a lady came back. She was shopping for the Little League, and she had left a bank bag. Had we seen it. And you said?

And Renee gave it back to her. Wow, wow. So you were hoping that she wasn't going to come back. And then you keep it. But he found it. He was going to give me 500 to keep quiet. Would you have kept quiet or would you have negotiated for more? No, I'd have taken 500 at that point.

Yeah. I was 19 years old. So what was the time frame? Like if she would have... No, if we were to close that night? So just that night? Yeah, it's over because then you go home and she comes back the next day. And I never saw it.

Now I never saw it. Then you're lying. No? Money gone, sorry. Money gone, sorry. I figured, Eddie, what happened to yours? I'm that feeling it's not the same. Okay, so Robert...

Is Renee in the story? No. So Robert found a manager. He turned the money in, and the manager said two, Two nights later, somebody came and asked him for the money. And they got it. Two nights. Two nights.

How do you take you two nights to figure out you're missing 2000? Maybe they looked at other places too. Right. They don't know where they misplaced it. What if they went to 10 places? How'd they pay for the groceries if they didn't have the money that was in the car? No, they probably paid for the groceries and that was left over money. And they went out to the parking.

That's what happened. I'm just saying if that number was really just 2000-0-00, that's clean 2000. and that's like money that's... Maybe that's business money or something. I don't know. Well, good for them for turning it in. Yeah. I would have kept...

Or maybe it was a drop. Like they said, hey, I'll leave it in a shopping cart. Not a very good drop. They should work on their drops then. Shoping cart? I'd say that's not the best one. That everyone's going to get? No, because Renee's going to find it.

Everybody knows that. I'm thinking they didn't want to leave it in the car because someone might break in to get it, so they took it with them. Lots of stories here. The good story is, though, they got it back. They got it back. Good job. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

I hate having to be the mature one here. I love pranks, but sometimes I just have to step in. Amy, lunchbox is trying to get one over on you by setting up an account to catfish you for a dating website. I just have to let you know. Why are you doing that? Because I just think there's a difference in being mean. That's not being mean.

And a prank. No. He was trying to build a site. So when you get on one. Well, he was gathering all the information about you to build a perfect guy. Oh, no. So then he would have to get matched with. No, no.

Amy, this is what I was doing. I was like Christian Mingle. I wanted to do segments on the air and I sent Bobby, hey, I need to do, we need to do a segment called, What Are Your Hobbies, quote unquote, but spend more time on Amy because I need to know her hobbies. And then I need to know, we want to go around the room and go likes and dislikes in our partners. And I wanted him to spend more time on you so then I could fill out the profile. And I said, we would never have to tell Amy about this until we got a good match. If we got no good matches, hey, don't even.

even worry about it. No big deal. She'll never know. And what she doesn't know doesn't hurt her. But if you find a good fish out there for her, we just wanted to catfish you and he'd be a fun joke. No, I wanted to catfish her. That's exactly what I did. You were going to create a profile just so she would fall in love with it. No, no. I was creating her profile so guys

would match with her and we would set her up on dates. I needed her likes, her dislikes, her hobbies. He was going to try to find me a date. I don't think that's... Because I mean, how can he guarantee that I was going to be on Christian Mingle? I see what he's trying to do now. Yes. I was going to take pictures from your Instagram

and I was going to put them up. So you're telling me. He was going to pretend to be me. Let me just. Oh. Yes, I was going to pretend to be. Which one's worse? The lunchbox was creating a profile to catfish dudes or that lunch box in front of catfish Amy.

Because when I thought it was, I thought he was trying to catfish Amy and build a, he was like, let's find Amy's like. He was like a dude that liked the things that she liked. No. And I wasn't going to catfish the dudes because once they reached out, I was going to be like, all right, I was going to bring the profile to you and be like, hey, do you think Amy would like this dude? Let's bring him to Amy. But for what? What's the reason? But you're going to act like Amy.

Yes. Which is creepier. Again, that's creepy. Because Amy can just be Amy. Like, I don't understand what his role is. She's not going to do it. I'm trying to help her. Yeah.

He's understanding that like I probably, I'm not going to get on a bunch of websites or anything. I guess I only went first level with lunchbox. He was actually going second level where he was going to be Amy. Right. Yeah. That's like, yes. This is like, uh, it's even creepier than I thought. It was pretty creepy.

This could have gotten real. I'm glad you said. said something because this is down a dangerous path. No, no, it's not dangerous. You haven't living as second life as you. Because you would have really gotten into it. Next thing you know, you're juggling all these things and you're me on these, all these different sites,

and then you really get into it, and then you dig yourself into a hole and you can't dig out, and next thing you know you're on the news. That's how it happens. And that's how he gets on the news and he wins. That's the whole point. No, literally, I wouldn't go respond to them until I got... Yeah, right. You didn't gotten into this. Yes, you wouldn't be able to help yourself.

It had been... You had so much fun doing it. But you ruined it. Well, I thought you were. were trying to catfish her, I didn't realize you wanted to be her. Yes. I didn't realize you wanted to wear her skin. That's weird. Now would you have gone along with that one? No, because it's even weirder, I think.

Yeah, because you're putting me up on all these websites. No, just Christian mingle. You're a Christian woman. Yes, but why not put her on, like, hinge and the other sites, too? Oh, I was just trying to... Normal dudes. Well, you guys were worried about hinge, and so I heard... No, that's Tinder.

Oh. Well, I just... No, Christian. Mingles like. And do we think maybe he just wanted to get on these dating sites himself? And this is a reason that he could get on to. Wow. Hey, Amy. What would be really suspicious if he's like woman seeking woman? Amy, what are your hobbies? So speaking to hobbies, Amy. So I guess that's what I was trying to do,

but I can't trust anybody. We got rats around. You know my hobbies? Morgan, what would you recommend Amy to do here? I think she should get on a hinge. I did some research on it. I put my ages up to see what her experience would be like on hinge. And I'm just been pretty good candidates on there. So I feel like

she should go on Hinge, if she's ready. If she's at that point in time and she's ready, Hinge is the one to go for. What do you think her age parameter should be like 65 to 65? Is that too old, Amy? 65 to like 40. Amy, how, can I ask how old you are? I am 42. Okay.

So would you go like 24 to? No. I would say maybe 40 to 50. But maybe she won't, how young would you go? How young? What'd you go? That's a good question. I like the question.

I will allow it. Thank you. Sustained. Honestly, I don't, I don't know. I've only ever dated someone my age or like my husband was three and a half years older than me. So 30. My college boyfriend was a year older. No.

30. I don't think that I have anything in common with a 25 year old. 29? You can find it. I think that I just, I've, I've experienced a lot. I'm a mom. Like I have a 16 year old daughter.

Like there's just certain things that aren't going to be. I feel like a 30-year-old. They may want their own kids, you know? And I... But what if you let those limitations only exist if they actually limit you? Yeah. Why would you give yourself limitations that there's no reason to limit yourself right now? Okay.

Well, I just... Like what's what's what? The other side? Yeah, what about 21? What about 21? I don't even... No. And I'm still uncomfortable while I'm...

I'm open to it even having this conversation is uncomfortable. How young, though, really? If you were setting it up today, which you're not, what would you put your bottom age? 38. There's your answer. What would you put your uproaged? 70? 50.

50. What if they're really rich? 78? 78. What are they really loaded? No, no. What if they're Al Pacino? Billionaires.

I would say 55. No. All right, I'll put 55. No, you're not doing her. You're not having that site for her. But I would say 38 to 55. I'd say 21. I'd say.

Okay. Okay, well, listen. You're giving him information. Lund drugs, please don't put me on a website. Yeah, that's not good. I was just trying to help a friend out. You were doing a bit that you wanted to have like a prank. Look, when Amy's trying to find love, I'm here for her.

I'm helping her out. Thanks, buddy. We're going to hold off on that, though, for now. I'm going to put her on a website. Okay, what will you put on? on a nap. He got us. He really got a semantics me.

You guys are a little smarter than us. I go back and forth. I mean, honestly, like, I'm not with the age, but just with, like, working, like, being okay was working on myself and having this opportunity to really just dive in and focus on my kids, but also focus on me and what I want and not worrying about. Both can be done. You don't have to worry. Right.

I just kind of be a little detached from it. There you go. Then you should. Hobbies. Detachment. Draparding Dirting Self-watching

Self-help Okay Podcasting That's good Doing and listening Puzzles Puzzles okay You are gonna get all me-malls

With these All the T-Balls and M-M-M-M-M-Mals Okay Our executive producer Scuba Steve in studio To give us Scuba Steve Suggests We don't know the segment

Scoobes Steve, what are we doing? So I've been reflecting on life a lot more lately I have kids One of them is about to go into kindergarten I was like God time has passed so quickly so many things have gone on in my life and there's things that I haven't done yet and what if I were to die tomorrow

what would I regret that I haven't accomplished or I haven't done? So I guess I'll give you time to think about what you would do but for me I've always wanted to go to the Mall of America in Minnesota and go to the theme park the Nickelodeon theme park. I've been putting it off for like 15 years

and I need to do it. That's funny that's what it is. It's so exactly. That's such a random. Yeah, I like it. So one thing, I like it. One thing, what's the one thing that you still want? It's basically bucket list, but it's one thing you want to do. Anything. Yours is hilarious and I like it.

And I want to do it before the end of the year. So maybe something, maybe something we also try to do. I got to go. Okay, so we can probably think that out of it. I didn't even know there was a theme park. It's huge. Inside the mall, Nickelodeon. It's so amazing.

It's roller coasters and everything. It's so cool. We've been right, Mike. It's huge. You guys have been there? Oh, wow. He lit up. Did you guys go to the theme park?

We went, we looked at it. I don't want to ride a... You just looked at it? How do you go there and just look at it? Yeah, dude. We saw the Mary Tyler Moore statue too. We were in Minneapolis for something, huh? Like a show or something? I don't know.

Cool. But it is cool. The mall's massive, man. 500 stores? It's amazing. Biggest mall in the world. Okay. What's the one thing you want to do? Trivial or not, Eddie.

I want to go on a voyage. I want to go on a sailboat from some point A to point B, like whether it's Florida to, to Cuba. Ocean. Ocean sailboat voyage. Why a sailboat? That seems like a lot of work.

That's why. Like just the experience of like, all right, pull the sail. Storm coming in, lower it. Like all that. I want that experience.

That seems like a death trap. Do you want to do it or do you want to just be a part of somebody else doing it as you're on the boat? Oh, no, we need a captain. I don't know how to do that. Okay, but would you want to be a part of the crew?

Absolutely. Really? That's cool? Five-man crew, sail to South America, something. But it doesn't have to be like a, super long.

No, I'd say like a week. Maybe, yeah. Oh, yeah, something like that. Salvo, that's cool. How cool would that be? For me, not cool, but that's cool that that's what you want to do. That doesn't interesting. And I want to do it by the end of the year.

Oh, what? Oh, my God. Okay. Lunchbox. What's one thing you want to do? Be on Survivor. Like, I mean, just to get out there and challenge myself in some of those daily challenges and to see how good if I could lie to those people and backstabbed,

That's where he goes, all the negative. Yeah. And like really find, like you really test yourself without food and without water. And, I mean, just in the elements and getting along with crazy strangers in this sleep-deprived world where I wouldn't be able to take a nap every day. And it would just be awesome. I feel like we could create this environment for him. Like, just show to work hungry and thirsty. Why don't you just go apply?

I would. But I don't know. Like, I mean. Because the show is not going to be around. forever. No, it's good. Well, I know that. But here's the problem is I'd have to get off work.

And so, I mean, we'd have to negotiate me getting off work. You know what I'm saying? We got no problem with it. Head on. Hmm. I thought you have said before. Amy, stop. He just gave me permission.

Stop. I like this. Yeah, I don't give me crap. Go do it. If you want to do it, go do it. Dude, I'll be back in 30 days. It's longer than that. No, it's 26 days.

No, to do that, but there's way more involved. Okay. Well, I'll be back in 50 days. If you're leaving right now. He just leaves without even... Wait, what? He walked out. Wait, no, dude, I don't think you understand where he's...

But I think you should definitely explore that process. That's what I'm talking about. I think they would... Who cares? Just go do it. No, what are you going to say? You'd think they'd what? I think if they gave any pushback, I would just be like, no, he's fine. That's what I'm talking about.

It would just be from the company. It's not from me. But he'd have to, like, get accepted to the show, though, right? Oh, there's a lot of those. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of steps, man. But I'm saying from here, I would just be like, screw it. want to do it, go do it. Wow. Okay. Because I don't think he's pursued those other

steps. I know he just doesn't pursue it because he's making excuses like he does everything else. But I'm wrong. You don't think I pursued real world all the freaking times? I didn't know you then. But you say I didn't pursue stuff. I'm talking about here now. That's what I'm saying. Survivor became later because I didn't watch until season 10 so I wasn't there because of the job.

I'm saying if you want to go be on Survivor, go be on Survivor. But then I really like I thought about okay, you know, that'd be fun to be on. And then my aunt and uncle the ones that got me into Survivor. Okay? And then my uncle passed away of a heart attack. He went out to get the newspaper and he clasped in the front yard and died.

Is this part of your pitch? Oh my gosh. No. And I thought about it. It's not funny. No, it's not funny, but it comes out of nowhere and he makes up so many lies. And we don't know if it's true. Like, how many women have you been with? Over 100. Right. So, he just says stuff. No, it was my uncle Mike. And

I had always thought about what they used to have family visitors. Like, they'd bring them out to the island. You know, if you make it to a certain, I was like, who would I bring and I was like I'd bring my aunt junior my uncle Mike if my wife couldn't come because of the kids and then when he and then when he died I was like dang I'm putting this off and like I started thinking about it really and I talked about with my wife and she's like if you got on a you could go I could figure out the way to handle the kids and so yeah so I really started thinking about it in the last few years I've never heard uncle Mike I'm glad you're telling us about him yeah but you

had an animal once eat your a shark ate the paddle boat right took a bite right just like no there's just a lot of this we don't know it's hard to get through the camouflage to see what's real. Yeah. But then go do it. Go apply. Figure out what the deal is and go apply. All right.

I'll hit them up right now. I don't know how you're going to also hit them up right now. But if you want to do it, you should do it. If your wife's cool with all your kids, I'm cool, I can go to the bosses and be like, I said it's fine. Wow. What? I'm just very curious. Everybody can't leave for a reality show once in a now.

Where do I apply? I think this is very cool of you, but why the change? Because I don't give a crap. Everybody just go do your thing. But this is like... Amy, why are you trying to talk about it? I'm not talking out of it. He's already said it.

It's good. I'm just asking what. But he can always reverse decision. If you reverse pivot. Who knows where I'm going to be in six months or nine months or a year? So I don't want you guys to hold anything. Oh, you could be on the island with me? Where are you going, man?

I didn't say anything. I just saying generally we don't know where everybody's going to be in life. Yeah, yeah. So who knows? And I don't want you guys to be holding anything up. I got it. Scuba. You go to Minnesota today.

I'm going. everybody start pursuing things. I'm getting a sailboat. Now. Amy? Alaskan cruise. That's cool. That's doable.

I mean, that was my mom's bucket list, so which she didn't get to do it. So now, I don't think it would have ever been my bucket list, but it is now because, you know, we waited too long. We literally are going to take her on there sick, like, in the final days. And her doctor was like, you don't think they're being on a boat for nine days that far away is going to be good. And luckily, we didn't. but she wanted to go the whole year before and we kept putting it off because she kept thinking,

I'm going to get better, I'm going to get better, I'm going to get better and then she never got better. So it's like, don't put it off. Scuba, go to the mall. America, yeah. Go to the mall. Yeah.

Hey, you? Yeah, mine is traveling as well, Bali. It's above Australia, so it's tough to get to. You can't do it in a week. And my wife... What do you mean? You can't do it in a week?

I mean, it's kind of like a Hawaii flight. Let's be real. Yeah, but I've been to Hawaii. I've been to Hawaii in back in three days. Maybe you can do it then. I've been to Australia. You can get there. It takes a day, but you get there.

But my wife's all about all-inclusive because you feel safe and secure in those places. Bali really isn't that. So it's almost, it would almost be a one-man mission. I just go out there solo and I just learn how to live out there for a little while. I don't think that's accurate. I think you can go to Bali and it be pretty normal and amazing. Expensive, yes, but. It has nothing to do with it.

I think, yes, it'll be expensive because the flight itself is going to be very expensive. I've just had so many friends. It's not Vietnam in the 70s, man. Yeah. He gets shot down. Or the Mall of America on Black Friday, you know? It's just, I think you have a, I think people, I'd never been there. I wouldn't be able to point to it on a map, but I think it's like a luxury place.

But it's cheap, though. People say, oh, you get a drink for a dollar. You can get a coconut for $2. Fresh fruit. A coconut for two bucks? That's the deal. Yeah. We are all so warped.

Morgan. Get married. Yeah. Mine's kind of like Morgans. Not married, but like, I have a kid. but I would say time I'm like I don't know if I'm going to get right now but it's like I'm going to be Al Pacino

but Morgan would get married today I mean if I could get married this year that'd be awesome but we already know she's going to get married by the end of the year no we know I'm going to meet her husband psychic care you don't even to worry about that that stress is over you don't have to worry about it the psychic toll you you need to quit stressing about it

it's happening guaranteed I don't know about guaranteed but no Morgan believes I want to get married you know by the end of the year that'd be cool okay so meet him again That's quick by the end of the year. Amy did that.

And we're not having a kid right now. There's no kid. I was like, is this an announcement? No, no, no, no. I definitely wouldn't say. I set the whole bit up for that. No, no, not at all. But it's like, well, no, I, you know.

So, but apparently there's a right time. Is there? I don't know that one. Yeah. Tell me, please. I'm always told there's an exact right time. And then that's when you should do it. Why'd you guys go, ugh?

Because there's no right time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, and let's go to Mike D. Mike D, what is your thing? I want to live in a school. Ever since I was a kid, I thought it would be awesome to get a school building, convert it to a house. Live in a schoolhouse.

There was that building that school that went up for sale. And Michael was like, I love to buy that school and just live in it. I go on Zillol all the time and look at a schoolhouse. Like an old school? Yeah. There's a guy on TikTok converted to one. It looks amazing. You do have a gym in there, a basketball gym.

That's pretty cool. You got a cafeteria. It's a cool on chicken kitchen. Like it feels weird at first when he says it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they make square pizzas back there, bro. That's right. Oh, he means like, like, modern day type.

schools or like I'm picturing an old and back in the day schoolhouse. Well they still had cafeterias. I would think modern day. Yeah. Yeah. With all the rooms. Oh wow. That's a lot of square footage. It is. Yeah. Exactly. That might be the weirdest fantasy I've ever heard.

Track. You have a track. We didn't say fantasy. We said what he wants to do before he dies. I never, like, you heard schoolhouse went to fantasy. I think we need to check your stuff. I am like, I have never heard anybody say they want to live in a schoolhouse. The fact you ever came with that idea? He said it before on the show.

It's baffling. It's baffling. Exactly, which is weird. No other kid I'd never known has said. No other kid I'd never known. Has ever said. And we all speak incorrectly, but we're not so dominant about how right we are about it. I've just never heard that.

Scooby-See, thank you for this segment. You're welcome. Everybody, we've all stated it. Now go make it happen. All right. By the end of the year. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be

an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah. It would not be. Right. It wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Weaponized incompetence. Are you familiar? Let me think about this. Weaponized incompetence. That would mean I'm going to use it as a if I don't okay yeah I do it yeah I probably act like I can't do stuff so I don't have to do it anymore is that what that is that's messed up like an example would be like Caitlin's moving close to the to the to from the washer to the dryer and I drop stuff and wet stuff on the floor I'm sorry or colorblind stuff because I'm really bad colorblind right with clothes oh it's all laundry I hate I hate yeah eat laundry who no one loves it no we all but I do I weaponize and confidence laundry I can't tell what color color

what? I don't know the darks from the me dude. Oh, yeah. Yep, that's me. I saw, uh, bleep this out from my whole wife. She can't hear this. I saw a wife post that her husband added bleach to the load. And then when she was like, what in the world? He goes, well, I guess now you know I can't do laundry. I felt that. And, and you ruined a whole load. Right. That's okay. You know what that's called? Weaponized.

No. Collateral damage. Oh, yeah. You lost the clothes, but they didn't, they didn't do anything wrong, but that's collateral damage in the overall. Yeah, go ahead. all the people sharing were women because it's the men that are doing this. Yeah, like a one...

Because we're the dumb ones to... We get caught. You guys are smart and you're not getting caught doing it. One husband said, I don't know where to put the dishes away. It's so confusing. Meanwhile, he runs a warehouse

and knows where every part is and inventory is organized perfectly. I felt that, buddy. I get your back. Another... The dishwasher was supposed to be made for big bowls and plates on bottom.

and then glasses on top. But now all of a sudden you're supposed to just like find little spots where they all fit. And sometimes you can put bowls on. And it just, I don't like that. So I don't do it. Good for you. It's hard. It's hard.

I get confused. And then my performance at work goes down because I'm so worried about it. And then all of a sudden can't pay rent. Well, that's the thing. Like, we don't rent. You can't. That's what I mean, this is not what happened in my marriage at all. Like why it ended by any means.

Wait, what? I used to share with you all the time that Ben could not close drawers. That's why you divorced him? No. But I was like, he flies an airplane. But we can be good at some things and not good at others. Push your drawer in. I'm wildly skilled at certain performance aspects, but in some parts of my personal life, I'm a disaster.

And you would think, wait, they're kind of connected. They're not. One person said a divorce did happen because the husband said, look, I'm the type of person that will purposefully mess up so that they won't ask me to do it again. Amen. Some of you guys do that in this show too. All right. What else?

Okay. I have weird hacks for sleeping in this summer heat. Okay. The first one is freezing your pajamas. But if it's hot, why are you wearing pajamas? Oh, because they say don't sleep naked. That's a common... Why don't sleep naked either?

That hurts me. I like pin things down. But I'm saying you can sleep in underwear. Well, it says if you sweat, it collects on your skin, and it's better to have it absorbed. by clothes, so wear something loose fitting in life that's made of natural fibers like cotton. Yeah, here's the hack. Don't wear full body pajamas

like Little House in the Prairie. We don't have to wear a flannel, but like you can have on like a little shirt, shorts, whatever. But they say if you put your pajamas in a plastic bag, toss them in the freezer, you can do the same thing. And how do you get in them if they're frozen like ice? They're just hard. Yeah, that's kind of cold. That's if you wet them

and put them in the freezer. Well, that's what I did. I took your advice and that's what I did. No, if you just put them in a bag and put them in your pillowcase too when you pull them out it's going to feel I'm never going to do that I'm never going to put my stuff in the fridge or freezer my pillowcases go ahead okay don't share covers if you sleep with the significant other think about using separate blankets because it keeps

their body heat away from you I don't think that we go very well okay what else lunchbox does that yeah but he sweats he has like some sort of like full body diarrhea every night in his bed and the five well I used to have full body diarrhea in my bed so gross you don't anymore it doesn't happen anymore I mean I still sweat every once in a while but not No, back then it was like I was running five miles and I'd have to...

Crazy. Put a towel down. I wonder what was really wrong with you. Tuberculosis. When you had, yeah. Because once I started taking the pills, stopped immediately. Birth control pills? No.

No, TB pills, man. It takes one every day for nine months. The final tip is leave your hair damp. Take a shower before bed. Don't dry your hair and you won't be as hot. That's dumb. I didn't make these up. It's like put ice under your armpits before you fall asleep.

Yeah, all these are kind of. They're all dumb. It's all dumb. Turn the air down. How about that? Pay a little more, pay slightly more on your electric bill. All right, what else? Okay, Garth Brooks played this show in Texas. No, we did it.

Yeah, I was going to get there. I know. What are you guys talking about? I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. But you don't need to say the story? Because it's not. It's just, I don't want anybody yelling at us because it's political.

You can do it. Fine. We're on, go. Well, I just think that it's like, you know, oh, you know, being competent. Like, you're running a state, right? The governor of Texas reposted the thing where it's like Garth Brooks boot off stage at Cowboy Fest or something. The 123rd annual Texas country jamboree. Because Garth Brooks was like, we're going to have all the beers at my place.

I don't care about Bud Light or what anyone's little deal is. We're all inclusive. I don't care who you are. We love you. Right? Yeah. And so a lot of people get upset about that. So someone did a parody, acting like Garth Brooks got boot off.

And the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott posted it like ha-ha. It didn't happen. It was fake. Garth Brooks is the most loved guy ever. He's the best guy. And so it was all fake, but the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott posted it like it was real. And everybody's like, you're a governor. And I agree.

This is not political, but people will take it as political. And you ain't coming to this show for politics and we ain't given it to you. But I did see that. And what are you doing? I don't care what side you're on. It's just like, yes, no, that. I mean, because the town listed where this fake jamboree was, the jammery is not even real, but the town listed isn't even a real town in Texas.

It's all fake. The whole thing. It shows you that people running the, these big offices. They don't even look. They're just like, they're just slapping crap together. And it was a quote retweet.

And then, well, you're the governor. Why does that even matter? Why are you worried about that? First of all, it's first of all, who cares? Like, what are you trying to prove? I think he wanted to say these words, go woke, go broke.

That is rhyme. That's kind of fun to say, like it says rhyme. It is kind of fun to say anything rhyming. Yeah. I don't know, man. It's just, it's the whole culture online where I have to stay off of the for you page on Twitter.

I just look at my, my following because that's all it is is people screaming at each other. It's even worse. But okay. Well, Ray, would you talk to Garth about that or no? Definitely not. No. That's awkward. Garth is the greatest. He's like the nicest, most awesome dude. And that's all. And it didn't happen in the governor. And that situation was an idiot. And it didn't matter what side he's on. You post an article from the onion and act like it's real. You're an idiot. And I think I've done that too before at one point in my life. I think we all have.

We've all been an idiot at one point. All right. Is that it? I made me. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. Oh, it's Bobby. Tell me something good. Last week, a lady named Dana was driving home after visiting her mother-in-law. She's driving along.

She's a garage on fire in Grand Junction, Colorado. Black Smoke. So she pulled in, not super close to the house, but close enough. It's like, hello? Nobody yelled back, but then she heard animals barking. So she's like, wait. She walks closer, and she sees as a German shepherd in the garage

and so she's like oh man somehow we gotta get this dog out of here it started to get hotter there were little pops from in the garage too there was a propane tank in there oh yeah that's like a movie like it gets closer to the propane tank

so that's what happened they kind of went in knocked it open went in and saved the dog the building is a complete loss but the dog is alive the people got their dog back and they were a mess because they're so happy that their dog was saved

but yeah the building was completely destroyed but the dog is safe and they said the building could be replaced since the dog couldn't. But that's her pulling over because she saw a fire. Wow. And then went in and actually, if there's fire getting near a propane tank, I don't know how close I'm going. It's going to blow up. I don't know. I'm going to be Eddie in there.

And I'm like, Eddie, hey, buddy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's a propane tag. I want you mean to do here. Good luck. Remember that time you saw you. Man, man, I thought I was going to be a hero, dude. I mean, I knocked on doors.

Nobody was answering. I'm like, oh my gosh, the barn's on fire. It was a tobacco smoke house. Hey, remember that time you sit your house on fire? It wasn't me Oh yeah Wait what The boys I had over

In junior high My mom was out of town Oh they threw some on the roof right? Yeah a cigarette or something It was a really hot summer day in Texas And yeah Our wooden shingle It just caught it on fire

And I didn't For whatever reason it was in the Austin American Statesman That I was in the attic playing with matches I was not Idiots Irresponsive journalian But I mean I guess maybe that's what Mainstream media

saying other than like, well, my mom is out of town and I had friends over. I wasn't supposed to and they threw a cigarette on the roof. Do you have any fire stories? Oh, yeah, a lot. No, no, not the big ones. I know your brother. Yeah, my brother burned two and a half acres of the woods, playing with old lighters and socks. I used to go down to the ditch

and we would burn things and, you know, those big bags of leaves. We took one of those down there and we were burning them under the street, like the tunnel and smokes billowing out of the tunnel. Then my buddy Scott was like, let's just throw the whole bag on there. And we threw the whole bag. And I mean, smoke was all of a sudden I hear, hey,

there was the fire department. They were up there. And I looked at Aaron and Forrest and Scott, and I said, boys, we got to go. Put our hoodies up, ran straight into the woods. Scott ran the other way. So they never saw Scott. They tracked us down.

They caught you? They went around knocking door to door and talking to neighbors. Who are the people that makes trouble in the neighborhood? And they called my house and I happened to answer. You were one of the people that came to mine when it was trouble? 100%. Yeah.

Little white criminals. they knew we had a reputation and the fire department called my house and I happened to answer the phone and I was like no I wasn't down there cool all right bye thought I got away with it they called back the next day got a hold of my dad

and then I What happened though with your dad? He whoop you? No he was just like did you do that and I was like yeah but it's a controlled fire man and he was like okay don't be an idiot and then the neighbors across the street we shot like bottle rockets

into their garage and we didn't know and we left and I guess they had laundry sitting out in front of the washer and dryer, and it had caught on fire. And luckily they had gone out and they smelt it, and they went out there and put it out before it caught the whole house on fire. Yeah, it was bad. We did some...

Did they know you did it? Yeah, when I came riding back from the baseball card shop, my mom was standing in the front yard with her. You say it was controlled bottle rockets. And I was like, you know, you're going to burn our house down. And my mom was not happy. She goes, wait until your father gets home. And then what did he say?

grounded for a week but then it turns into like grounded for an hour you know there you go we played fire a lot man yeah I don't think about it that's what it's all about right there that was tell me something good a win is a win a win I don't care what I'm saying
