Welcome to Wednesday show. Morning studio. Morning. All right, here we go. Eddie, you're up first. You got about 15, 20 seconds. Give us something here. Okay, so last time I told you that Randy Hauser is creeping into my top 10 list. Well, I have my top 10 list of country artists, my favorite of all time.

So yesterday morning, you just kind of threw out there. How's there top 10 ever? I think he's sneaked in there, yes. So I sat down, made a list, and he didn't just sneak in there. He's deep in the top 10 list. Here Eddie's top 10 favorite country artists of all time. Number 10. Starting with 10, Little Texas.

I was in their fan club, big fan. Do you have to pay for that? It was like a $10 a year fee kind of thing. When you're a kid? Oh, dude, it's huge. Yeah. What did you get in the Little Texas fan club? Like T-shirt.

posters, signed posters. Did you tell him that when he was in here? I haven't told him yet, no. I saw him at a concert. Tim Rushlow? Yeah, he came up to me. It was at Ben Rector's concert, the lead singer, Little Texas. He came up and sat down beside me, he's like, hey man, how's it going?

And at first it was dark. And I didn't know who it was. And then I was like, I squinted at him. I was like, oh, what's up Little Texas? I mean, Tim. All right, number 10, number nine. Number nine, Eric Church, the chief. Hey, and at number eight, here he is, Randy Houser, baby.

You like Houser better than Church? I do. I mean, church, I was a huge church fan, and I still like church, but Randy Houser with this new album and this whole interview that he did, and then he got to act and stuff, that's pretty cool. He's jumped. Okay, seven? Number seven, let's go Alabama, the band.

No, not the state. Not the football team. Not the state. Number six? Brooks and done, let's go, baby. Number five? Johnny Cash. I fell into a burning ring.

Number four. George Strait. Number three. The man, Willie Nelson. Number two. Tim McGraw. That's my dude. Number one.

The greatest of all time, Garth Brooks. Pretty solid list, right on brand. You got a lot of Texas in there. Yeah. From Little Texas to Willie. George. Alabama. No, it's Alabama, man.

Okay. We got to fly for you earlier. All right, next time, here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Amy, I feel bad for you. I feel like we give you a hard time about your driving. You're not a good driver. We tell you you're terrible.

and I think that's really rude of us. But you say you feel bad for her, then you just continued to rip on her. Because you run into fire hydrants to walls, you pop tires on curbs, and then you're teaching your daughter how to drive, which scares me. So I want to say maybe we're giving you a bad rap.

And so we're going to give you a chance to test it out. I made you a magnet to go on your car so people can call and report your driving just like semi-drivers. Oh, my number? That's our show number. It says, how's my driving call? No way. No, I'm not putting up in my car.

I do it, Amy. I'm not. No. you know how semi-drivers it says, how's my driving? It has a phone number. And Amy, you always talk about instances where people give you the finger, and you're like, I don't think I did anything. Well, now we're going to find out how bad of a driver Amy is. I can't. And so on the driving, it says 877, 77-27-27-29, which is 77 Bobby. How did you make that? Just internet?

Yeah, internet. How much? Like $17? You paid $17 for this. Hey, that's a great. That's an awesome. segment there. I mean, should I change the voicemail to, hey, if you're calling to leave us a message great, or if you've seen somebody driving on the road erratically. Yes, you have to. I don't drive erratically.

Lifebox is a genius. You say you don't. So I want to, you know, you always say, oh, I don't do. I'm not that bad of a driver. Well, we're about to find out how bad of a driver you are. But then say someone is a listener and they see this magnet on my car. They're going to know it's me in my car and they're going to follow me home. No, they're not. Our listeners

aren't crazy like that. So this is what I think. She's not going to put it on day for no reason. There'll have to be something at some point that you win. Okay. But I think it's hilarious and keep that in your back pocket. And you drive around with it for a week. A week. Well, it depends. It depends. Maybe a year if you lose a big game. A day. Maybe it's a tattoo. Who knows? That's funny. What? Awesome. You're the one who brought up magnets on cars though.

Yeah, you talked about getting your daughter one, so I thought I'd get you one. Yeah, no, I thought about like, hey, you know, teen driver, or learning, a driver that's learning. I can't remember the magnet, but it's for like learners permit kids. And I put a magnet when she's in the car. Yeah. You've had a lot of struggles, though. All right.

Whatever, I'll put it on. I feel like it's a... How about after, that about the week after Thanksgiving? Like it. Why? I didn't lose anything. I didn't lose this week. All right, pick a number one to ten.

Lunchbox. Four. Correct. All right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did.

Ollie doesn't win, win, win. Thank you, Lunchbox. You're welcome. We'll revisit it. Up next year she is. Thank you, everybody. Go ahead, thank you. I feel like last week or so,

I told you all about how my mom was showing me death because she flew, well, a cardinal flew into my back door and died. And I was like, what is this message trying to be sent? Because my mom is a cardinal. You think she's a cardinal, yes. No, I feel like I see her in the cardinals. Like, they visit me at the right time. And that one was something about death.

Well, I feel like now she's visiting me again with something about life. And she was having so much fun in my backyard, having this fun little bath and water and playing around and just looked so joyful. So either it was a message about life and enjoying the things. It's what I felt for the moment. Or it was a message about bathing. Not a message. No, no. Like the bird was just cleaning himself.

Or like water is a conduit of like, you know, just like getting things out. that reminded me of Amy. What? I posted it on my Instagram. In Asia, there was a Jesus statue, and the Jesus statue all the sudden was like crying and had water coming off of it. And so all the people that lived in the village, and even the town outside of the village, they all gathered and they saved the water and they started drinking it.

And so a lot of people got sick because it turns out there was just a toilet that was broken that was over flooding. But they thought it was a sign because that statue was. Okay, I would not drink water. That might be the funniest story you ever told. You're talking about how a bird in your backyard. Totally different. That one is very ridiculous.

But I was confused because the bird died, but then it came back to life. No, different birds. Different birds, man. They send different messages from her mom. There's not one specific cardinal. Your mom's not one bird. She's many, of course. Why am I so crazy to think your mom would be one bird, not many?

People see their loved ones in all kinds of things. Butterflies. You haven't you heard that? Yellow butterflies? Who tell you a story about this, Jesus? It was toilet water. It was broken toilet water. You said one time your grandma's...

But I didn't say I believed it. A guitar fell over. I know, but I never was like... And that was one time ever. I don't look for it. My grandma died and she gave me this guitar before she died. I remember right when she died and I was like, hey, I don't know if you can hear me here. And then the guitar fell over.

That's crazy. But even then I'm like... Well, I'm also kind of like... I probably propped it up wrong. Yeah, I feel the same way. I believe that one more than the Cardinals, though. If Amy were to stand there and say, Cardinal, come land on my shoulder. Now, send me a sign.

And it did? You gotta believe it. Then we'd be in. Yeah. Otherwise, taking a back. It's okay to want to see messages. Absolutely, to want to, yes.

But to believe that they're all messages is... That's why I say, I bring it to y'all like saying, I don't know, this could be this. I don't know, you sound like you were saying, this is this. Okay, Ray, I'm ready. From Mount Pine, Arkansas, he's in the raging idiots band, and most of what's set on this show is unplanned.

Bobby Bones. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I finally watched episode one of Yellowstone. The new season's out. By the way, you can't watch it on the Paramount app. It's not there. You have to watch it on Paramount plus the channel. So if you have cable on demand, I go, beep, hey, Yellowstone. I don't say, hey, Yellowstone. I just say Yellowstone.

And then it pulls it up and you'll watch the first two. And so I watched the first one. And Laney, I watched Laney. Yeah, she goes it. Wilson. She shows up at the end of the episode and she actually has to act. Like real line. She has a real character. She's got like a romantic interest type thing. And I messaged her right after. I was like, I felt really awkward when I first saw you because I'm like, please be good because I don't want to have to lie. And I don't have to lie. She was good.

That's awesome. I never thought she was acting. Even though I saw her, it's weird to see one of your friends up there doing that. But she was good. I'm excited to see what's happening. Because she has a real role on this show. And so it's good. I mean, listen, is this show itself starting to jump the shark?

Maybe. And it's not a spoiler because immediately when the show starts, it tells you this. But now that Kevin Costner is the governor, it's a little weird. All right. But we'll leave that where it is. Thank you, thank you, thank you. up. I don't think that's a spoiler, right? No, because I've already read about that.

No, yeah. I don't watch it. And it's in all of the links that come up where they don't spoil stuff. If that's how the show starts, it's not a spoiler. Okay, but yeah. Okay, good. All right, there you go. That's what's happening. Glad you guys are here. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. My 17-year-old son had his driver's license

for about a year, and it's been a constant headache. He was involved in a fender bender about three months in. Gladly everybody was okay and the damage was minimal. He also lost his key fob. We had to pay 300 bucks to get a new one. Now he got a ticket for speeding. My husband wants to punish him by making him work to earn to pay off the ticket, but I don't think that's enough.

We did the same when he lost the key fob, and that didn't get through to him. I was inspired by Eddie's unique parenting methods and want to teach my son a lesson by making him walk to and from school for an entire week. I like it. We live about three and a half miles from school. Oh my gosh. So it'd take him about an hour each way.

He's 17. Here's the thing. Hold on. Let me finish. Okay. Yes. Would it be cruel to make them walk to school for a week? I'm open to you and other parents and your suggestions.

I just need help. Sign mom who doesn't want to end up on the news. There's that email. Eddie, what are we going to say? These unique little parenting things, the only goal I'm going for in this is for them to do something that they will remember forever. Like, I messed up, but I remember my mom, my dad made me walk to school.

Yes, this is a long walk. Sounds crazy. But he'll remember it and then he'll learn from it. And that's the whole point. You don't have to do it forever. Dude, one week, trust me, he's going to definitely take care of his key fob. He's going to watch how he's driving. I think it's going to be effective.

You're pro. Her technique. I love it. Her idea. Okay. Here's the thing. He's 17. One of his friend's going to pick him up.

Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Go around the cool. corner, call your friend. He's not going to walk it. That's fine, though. But you send the message that, I'm serious. But it's not fine because his friend will pick him up. They'll get a good laugh. They'll learn nothing from it. Okay. I guess if we follow him?

If you make the deal that he has to walk it the entire way and he does find my iPhone while he's doing it and you can track it the whole time. There you go. Now you're thinking, bones. A whole week. Well, I'm not agreeing that that's the right thing. I'm saying if they do this, you got to make sure because you don't want to

then you're punishing yourself too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What I would do is I would say, look, the ticket was $200. You have five days here. Every day that you walk, it's $50 off the ticket or $60 off the ticket, whatever gets you there. You want to walk to school the whole day? $60,000.

Otherwise, you pay it yourself. But he doesn't have the money, so he'll have to get a job. Or he'll walk it every day. Okay. Or he'll get the money somehow. His buddy. Same buddy's going to pick him up. But I think it's fine if he pays his own ticket, right?

That's what you're learning. Yeah. But to walk it off. it's 60 bucks a day. But if you do all five days, I mean, that's it. That's three. That's six times five. Yeah, yeah.

That'll work. The thing is they're coming from like, hey, man, you're not driving right. You're losing your key fob. Like, as a driver, you're doing really bad. And now you have a ticket. So it's not only paying off the ticket. It's all of it. Dude, you're going to lose your driving privileges.

List the things you've done to your kids. Huh? What do you mean? Well, you stuck one kid in the bathroom made him listen to the song, Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson. Yes, because if you want to make a change, it all starts with the Man in the mirror. That's right.

How long? I don't remember. Maybe played the song 20 times. It seems to be in a little shorter. And then he was like, I get it. I don't think he's ever listened to song again, but he understood what I was saying. And then another one is one of them had bad grades in school, so I made him eat bologna sandwiches. Every meal.

Yeah, it was only for about a week, maybe two weeks. Every meal. But that was to show that if you don't work hard, you're not going to get, because he likes food. So if you don't work hard, you're not going to get what you want. You're not going to get the fine foods. You're going to have to settle with bologna sandwich. You're not going to get Sonic. Correct.

You got to eat bologna sandwich. Which he loves Sonic. Who doesn't? I get it. To the mom who wrote this email, I think it's a fine idea. You know your kid. I think letting him pay it is acceptable because that's what real life is. But if he doesn't have it and he wants to work it off, I think making him walk to school is hilarious.

Especially because it's not half a mile. It's three and a half miles. But you're right. And I would track it on iPhone. And I'd make him send check in videos. Nice And I'm cool with it Yeah I knew it

I knew you would be there I'm cool with it Anything that makes the kids Anything that gets them ready for life That's right That's right You want to give them scenarios To get them ready for life

There you go All right well That's it I feel good about it Let's close the mailbag there We got your email And we read it on the air Now it's time to close

Go to Airtasker.com or download the app. Airtasker, get anything done? I want to talk about animals for a second with Brian Swanson, who he will go and he will remove animals from your house,

and he frees them, and it's a humane way, he doesn't kill them. He was on an episode of Breaking Bobby Bones with me. You go to Animals Removed.com and see more about him, But I do, if it's okay, Brian, I'd like to talk about bears first. Do you know, do you have any experience with bears at all? Just that one. It ended up being just a teddy bear with the battery's dying, but other than that, not too much. We talk a lot about bears on the show, but we've never actually been attacked by a bear.

But what do you think you should do if a bear comes up to you? What would you do? Would you run away, or would you be still and get big? Well, first of all, I'd probably not put myself in a situation where I'd be in front of a bear, but if I did happen to come across one, you don't want to turn your back to it. You kind of make yourself look big, but again, don't pick it off in the same sense.

You know, don't yell at it and antagonize it. Yeah, my first thing to do would be to make fun of it and then show up my back and run away. Make a yogi bird comment. Yeah, hey, boom, boo, and then I take all running. What about snakes? If we run into a snake and there's a snake, I don't know, a foot in front of us and it's ready to, what do we do?

Probably walk around it. But most of the snakes here we have aren't going to come after you. So you just don't step on it. Should I show up my back and antagonize a snake? Yeah, don't poke at it with a stick or anything like that. Yeah, it'll be fine. As the weather gets colder, what animals tend to start infiltrating our houses? Ah, yes, right now, the addicts, raccoons, will get possums.

We'll get into your attic and crawl space. So, yeah, as it gets colder, they're all looking for that shelter, and our homes are nice for it. Yeah, and right now we're dealing with foxes in my backyard, which I've been chronicling, and there were five or six of them. And so, Brian, his team, put cameras back there to see the animals. Now, I don't live in a really rural area. Some people are like, well, you live in the woods, that's what you get.

No, I don't live in the woods. And the cameras to catch the foxes, except these cameras have seen other animals in my backyard. Brian, what are these animals they've seen? Your property's got armadillos. We've seen raccoons back there, possums. We have not seen the fox, and there's a good reason for that. You probably did have foxes. Obviously, you've seen them. But our cameras have caught coyotes and bobcats as well. In my yard! What? How do coyotes and bobcats get in my yard? Well, there's quite a few digging areas underneath your fence, and then your gate's pretty, it's not like a solid gate, so they can just, you know, get through it.

But how are there coyotes anywhere near, I mean, I don't, because I live near a road, a big road, there are cars, there's a school, there's, are coyotes just hanging around in people's yards, or were they there because of all the other animals? Coyotes actually eat fox, so you don't have a fox problem in it. anymore. I can guarantee that. Now we have a coyote problem. Coyotes took care of that. Oh, your family of foxes. Hey, that's a circle of life, baby. We didn't do that. The coyotes got them. Yep. Yeah, they

will either, if they know the coyotes are around, they'll just leave and they will not come back for sure and, or the fox or the coyotes already got them. But what about me? Okay, what about me? Let's talk about me for a second. What if I'm in the backyard at night and or in the morning

because we wake up really early? Any chance I get attacked by a bobcat or coyotes or my dogs? Your dogs, more likely, yeah. Not really you. They'll probably be, you know, runoff and say, here you're coming. But if your dog goes after them, then that could be an issue. Okay, but what do I do? What do we do?

Well, we can, you know, you've got a pretty big fence. So there is a way to keep them out. One of them involved in getting you a new gate. We'd either have to reconstruct your guard. gate to where it won't allow animals to come in and out or get your new gate altogether. Yeah, it's not expensive. I'll pass. Coyotes, welcome to the family.

Welcome home. Yeah, welcome to the family, coyotes. Hey, okay, but we don't have foxes anymore. That was the whole goal with getting Brian, and it worked. Now, apparently, we have leopards and cheetahs and coyotes. People can come through, apparently take the safari tour and drive through. Is this stuff only at night, by the way? Do I have to worry about this in the daytime?

Most of those animals we talked about are nocturnal. So, yeah, only at night. Okay, here's the deal with Brian. If you're hearing noises in the attic or cross space, they do free inspections to determine what it is and what damage they've caused. They'll also figure out how they're getting in and come up with a solution to keep them out.

And, you know, that's Brian. Animals Remove.com. You know what? The goal was to get the foxes and make them, well, now they are made. They've been gone. Yeah, take care of that. They're gone.

They could have just laughed on their own. Yeah, right. Oh, yeah. Maybe they saw the coyote and they're like, we out. You used to the video. There's two coyotes right near the camera. Just chilling, just hanging out. And they're not baby coyotes either.

They look like they killed a few things. Maybe a few humans. All right, Brian, I appreciate it. Thank you for all your help. And if, you know, what would eat the coyotes? What would make them go away? What's the next level up with an animal that will come and kill them? That would be humans.

That would be to predict cars. Cars. Just drive around the yard. Okay, got it. All right, Brian. Hey, hope you have an awesome day. Thank you for all your help. And everybody go check out

Animals Removed.com. Bye, Brian. All right. Thanks, guys. Bye-bye. There you go. Cars. We've got coyotes and bobcats.

You know what I don't have? Boxes. That was the goal. All right. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. There's a tradition in major league baseball. Whoever won the World Series last year,

the new World Series champ, they get pizzas sent to their front office by the former champion. So this year, Astros won the World Series and the Braves were the defending champ. So they got online, found a local pizza shop in Houston, and it was Frank's pizza in downtown Houston. And they ordered a bunch of pizzas and sent them to the Astros and said, congratulations.

It's a way to support local business and to say, hey, you're the champ now. What is the guy at the local? Oh, Frank was like, wait, does this? There's really the Braves? And you want me to deliver them to the Astros? Hey, what? Is there some prank? Because you know, a little bit, be like, no, come on.

It's for real. Yeah, it's cool. I like it. They go to local businesses too. Yeah, yeah. They don't just do a national chain. It's like they find a local shop close to the ballpark and say, let's give you some business. That's what it's all about right there.

That was Tell Me Something Good. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. Got to talk to Jimmy Allen. You know I'm from Best Shot. Because when you smile. Make me want to. Girl, watch your name.

What's your train. Freedom was a highway. The time was better wasted. We were summer. And he's on the phone right now. On the Bobby Bones show now. Jimmy, where are you right now? I am in Kansas City.

Where are you at right now? Oh, wait. Yeah, I know where you are. I know where you are. Hey, were you with Patrick Mahomes? Yeah, I was there at the game. Did you see him? Yeah.

You're friends with him? You talked for a little bit after the game. Yeah, I am. That's cool. Man, I wish I had cool friends. I know. You do, Jimmy. Man, you do.

This goes on and on. Yeah, they're not Patrick. my homes though. Yeah, we're definitely not as rich. I wanted to ask you about the CMAs for a second because you tweeted that you were sick and you weren't going to be able to make it. What happened there? Well, I was diagnosed with exhaustion and something else health-wise that I haven't, you know,

put out publicly. But, you know, I'll tell you, I'm not ready for the world to know it. But, you know, it was so funny when it happened, everyone was like, we got COVID. I was like, nah, it ain't COVID this time. I wish. I wish it was COVID. Yeah. All right, well, we're rooting for you, man.

We're hoping the best for you. Hope you get healthy. I know you're running like crazy. You're out with Carrie right now. I saw you guys on the Carrie Underwood show doing it look like a choreograph dance number. Did you guys practice that? Yeah, we did.

It's something we started rehearsing before the tour started. And I think it's super cool, you know, because there's something, you know, that I feel like, you know, she's really stepping her game up, man, when it comes to just overall, just like entertainment from, I feel like entertainment is just doing a bunch of things to keep the crowds attention. You know what I'm saying? Give them their money's worth. So I'm like not, maybe I'm biased because I'm on tour with her right now. But not only is she like just slaying people with these vocals, but man, she's flying and stuff, dancing. and, you know, telling jokes. It's really a beautiful thing to see.

Tomorrow, Jimmy, will be on the pickleball show with Stephen Colbert. So when they reached out to you to play pickleball, were you already playing pickleball recreationally? Man, I played pickleball one time before. I was like, wait, who's going to be there? Ain't it going to be on TV? Oh, sign me up.

So this whole thing benefits, I believe, Red Nosed Day with Stephen Colbert. And can you tell us how you did? Are you embarrassed? Are you proud of your performance? You know, me and Dirk's Bentley proudly represented country music on opposite teams, but I'm super proud of what I did, given the situation. You will see. Given the situation that you've never played before?

Exactly. Let me ask you this, and I got a couple things before we let you go here. You eat a bowl of cereal every night before you go to bed. Is that still a thing? Yep, honey smacks or crisp. How about glazed donuts every night before you go to bed? Yeah, one a night. But for someone who is, you know, so dedicated to their physical fitness to eat donuts and cereal each night,

are you blessed with wonderful genetics or are you just working that hard every other part of the day? Man, it's genetics. You know, luckily I'm blessed because I haven't been on my workout kick for almost a year now. I admire the honesty. Yeah, I admire the honesty. Because most people will be like, no, I'm hitting a horror. Jimmy's like, nope, born with it. Oh, this?

I ain't doing nothing, bro. If I didn't have my genetics, I'd look like, you can't say this. What is that mean? I'm going to bleep out who you said. I'm going to bleep that out because I ain't having that on, but that's hilarious. Okay, I ain't going to have you thought yourself under the bus like that,

so I'm going to protect you there. Jimmy. Let me say this. I saw you on the Connors, which it was Roseanne, and then it's the Conner. You're acting, so you wanted to act more? How was that experience for you? It was great.

I loved it. I'm actually carving timeout away from touring next year to do more television. I love it. TV and film and hosting, they're all equally as important. Like, music doesn't trump either one of them. You know what I mean? Like, they're all equally important. So I'm at the place in my career where I've been blessed to have a few opportunities

to jump into the acting world, a little bit more, whether it's hosting, whether it's a sitcom, a couple movie opportunities. So I'm about to do it. Life's all about being happy. I'm going to keep making music the whole time, but I'm going to probably take a little break from touring for a few months and jump in this TV film film. What are you doing for the holidays, Jimmy?

I honestly have no idea. Like, we don't really make plans. You know, me and my family, we're kind of just like, let's feel the mood and see what happens. You know, we've got families. We can go see in Delaware or Florida or California. or staying national. It's kind of just the, you know, whatever we feel like doing

without the pressure of my side of family or her side of family saying, we need to do this. No, we need to do whatever we want to do. So we're just kind of just waiting until the day of or day before and making the decision. Well, what you can plan for is shopping. And Black Friday is starting early at Macy's.com. Tons of great gifts that you can get your hands on before anybody else. $10 kitchen appliances, $25 fragrances, 70% off gold jewelry.

It's everywhere. The best part is Macy's. wishless Wednesday supports Big Brothers, Big Sisters of America. So go to Macy's.com slash purpose and donate to big brothers, big sisters of America and help support their mission to inspire youth equity and empower kids to reach their potential. And remember to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Thursday, November 24th, 9 to noon, which, Jimmy, I know you've been a part of before. Yes.

Go see Jimmy right now. He's on tour with Carrie. He's also got a children's book. My Voice is a Trumpet. And he'll be on the pickleball show with Stephen Colbert tomorrow night. and it'll be interesting to see what him and his partner do. That's all I know. I don't know anything else except that.

Jimmy, appreciate you. You know. Oh, man. Thanks, brother. Take a few breaths. That's all. Take a few breaths. Good nap.

You know what's up. And we'll talk to you soon. All right, man. Y'all take it easy. All right. See you, buddy. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian University,

Like the song, if I said, show me that smile again, don't waste another minute on your crying. That'd be growing pains. Growing pants.

Show me that. That's a hard one. But John, you can pick Amy, Lunchbox, or Eddie to play for you. Who do you think we'll get three? Just who do you think's going to win? Go ahead. I'm going to say lunchbox. Okay.

Yeah, John, that was a bad, bad, bad, bad run there. John, we got a little cocky there. Dang! Here's a voicemail from Scott in Ohio. How do you make money on TikTok? I'm an old man. Could you explain that to us later? Thank you.

Love the show, the best show in the country. I can explain to you now. Well, TikTok, you don't really make any money per se by doing the TikTok. You can make a little bit in that little fund, but you can be doing millions of streams, views, but you don't make a lot of money in that. Where you can make money,

selling ads. Where you can make money is if you're making music, sending people to stream your music. You can make money being popular and people subscribe to your Instagram or YouTube. There's a lot of ways to make money on TikTok, except on TikTok. Oh, yeah, because that doesn't pay anything.

It doesn't. TikTok is not a good payer, but it is a great creator, other ways to make money. I did that fund for a little bit. I was like, yeah, I'll opt in. Had videos like three, four, five. I had one, went six million. I made like a dollar 19. It's great. It's not good. This is not the way to make money. And when you open it, it's got confetti. It says, congratulations. You made a dollar 15. 17. 17 cents. Wait, what? I was so excited to go look at it because that video went to six

million. I was like, I'm about to be rich. And so I went, yeah, $1.117, something like that. So that's what it is. TikTok is a way for you to grow a following. and then use that to make money. You can do ads too, just like you can do ads anywhere else. The real money and content creation is in YouTube. That's where most people can make a lot of money. Mr. Beast, they offered him $1 billion for his biggest channel. He said no.

He said no, and they did the math on it. They brought in again. He's like, oh yeah, I wouldn't sell it either for $1 billion. Wow. What? One billion dollars? Wow. From YouTube.

And he said no. Gosh, I made the wrong choice. You didn't. I don't think you would have done that anyway. Choice? I think he made a good choice. Yeah, yeah. Here's Bradley from Tacoma,

because you still could have done that even here. Yeah, but I didn't know you can make that much money on YouTube. No idea. But he probably didn't either when he started. Oh, he knew. No, because he wasn't. No, because, you know. I'm arguing.

Bradley and Tacoma, Washington. Here's a voicemail. Morning studio. Listen, I just made up a morning corny. What do you call a pessimistic antelope? A cantalope. Yeah. He loved that.

New research says that half of all customers will not wait more than three minutes without being helped.

Three minutes and they're out. And speed is just, if not more important than price. That's a long time. It is. Three minutes? Yeah. Because you don't assume everybody needs help. But what's weird is sometimes they can't find enough people to work at a store.

And you're like, hey, can I get some help here? And there's nobody working. Or everybody, because there's not a lot of folks, they're all working the register. And there is no one. And it's not that there are lazy people. Well, it is lazy people who don't want to work. But it's not lazy people there that day. There just aren't enough people they're working.

But three minutes is a long time. Now, on the flip side of that, if I go into a clothing store and I'm looking at something, and they just start laying clothes on my shoulder, put this on. Try this on. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's too much help. You get to find the fine line. Yeah, you walk in, you look at it.

They just go, hey, if you need anything, let me know, I'll be right here. That's what I like. And then if I do need something, I'll let them know. I don't need. You good? Yeah, yeah, I'm good. How about now? You good?

Yeah, no, no, I'm good. Can I get you water? I'm not drinking water. Shop in here. Yeah. Look over clothes. So, yes, it is a very fine line. Gen Z is likely to feel respected when a brand responds quickly.

So it's like, oh, yeah, they see me. I feel good about this. It could be on the phone, too, like if you have to wait time or like even on social media, if a brand response. You know what I don't trust? Yeah. Leave and we'll call you back. Oh, I do that.

Oh, no way. About 75% of the time it works. Really? So I don't trust it every time. Yeah, it's not worth it to me. That in 100. I'll get on Southwest and most of the time they call me back. I say they're a good one, but some of the other ones, they just forget about me.

And then I forget, too, that I was even on the phone with them. And then, like, two days later, I'm like, I'm still expecting a call from the buckle. And then there it is. They don't, not going to start over. You know, what's the worst? I don't know if this happens to you, but when you're dealing with a really complicated call for a long time, and then suddenly the salesperson or whoever it is, the person working, disconnects from you. That happens, too.

When they don't understand, they just hang up. Exactly. They act like it was a technical thing, but they straight up hang up on me. I know it. That happened to me with my cable company. I'm for sure of it. Yeah. I was like, I can't get this to connect.

Well, have you tried... Look. They're like, forget this, I'm out. And then they just blame it on my connection. So dumb. All right, what else? Researchers are testing a new birth control option for men described as a temporary vasectomy.

This is what you do. Here's birth control for men. You put them in room with eight babies. For 24 hours. All right. These are your baby. Eight of them for 24 hours. Go.

You want these for the rest of your life? Go. You're not lying. You're not lying. So what this involves is injecting gel. directly into the area and they say it could prevent pregnancy for up to two years

so it's temporary. You're not having to get the full vasectomy, even though vasectomies are reversible anyway, but this is just a gel. So anyway, they're testing it out. We'll see what happens. I don't even lie. You know how some people don't like to hear this show talk about gross stuff in the morning? Because they're like, I'm eating breakfast.

I don't like to hear that ever because I'm alive. I don't like to think about, I don't like to hear that. That same feeling. I'm like, I don't want to hear that now. Okay, what else? All right, so Riley Green. There was this girl. He's going to be on tour next year with Luke Combs,

and he was talking to People Magazine about how he's dating Luke's day-to-day manager, and they've been together for a year. And he told People Magazine, quote, I've got a lot of ex-girlfriends who'd be blown away by that number. I just thought that call was funny. Yeah, no, I don't know that I ever talk about a lot of ex-girlfriends when I have a current.

Maybe when I'm not with a current. Interesting. Yeah. They'd all be shocked. I've been committed for a year. I'm Amy, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With Bobby. Tell me something good. Hey, Devin, who goes by at Debon 973 on TikTok, posted a video of this older lady who works at Walmart. Now, she's a greeter there, and he was talking to her, and she was like, hey, look, I'm not going to be able to really quit here until I get my house paid for because she has to still pay her mortgage. And so, he said, okay, well, let's help you with that. Now, again, Devin's just throwing this out there, and he set up a GoFundMe, and he said, hey, we want to help her get closer to retiring. The initial crowdfunding campaign was for $10,000, which even he thought was a bit much, and he didn't know if they would get to it, but why not try? But in less than 24 hours, they raised over $100,000.

Wow. That's amazing. So an optimistic campaign where he's like, I don't know if we're going to do this, but let's try it. Turned into, oh, one of those where you have to turn up, the 10,000 where you keep turning it up. So a week later, GoFundMe had surpassed over $170,000, and it was enough for her to be able to pay off her mortgage and retire. That's amazing. He changed her life by doing it. He straight up changed her life.

That is a great story. At DeBond 973 underscore on TikTok, that's a great story. Good job by you. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right.
