All right, morning, studio. Morning! Here we are. We're here. We're glad you're here. Let's do what we do every morning to start us off. Here is our producer who does all the videos. He's the data for everybody.

Producer-ready, let's go. Guys, my Christmas is off to a bad start. I busted out the lights for the first. time. And half of them. No, no, no, not half. 90% of them don't work. Is this though if one light doesn't work, the rest doesn't work? No, no, you're talking about whole the string works, but every third light is out. And I'm just like, this is ridiculous. And so what do I do? I sit at the table with all my replacements, plug them in one at a time. I get on Amazon. Can I buy more replacements? I'm checking the fuses. I'm like Clark Griswold over here. It's

terrible. So are you done? I put, uh, there's two. There's two. sets of lights that look good, but the rest I've hung up, but I can't plug them in because they're missing lights, and I'm still waiting on Amazon orders. But then where do you put them? Is it just tree, or are you going to do the outside of your house? I'm doing trim around the house, so around the door frame, around the garage, around some trees. You're doing it all yourself? Yeah, oh yeah, well, I get help from my 14-year-old. And then Big Santa, he's up. You're blowing it back up? Big Santa's back up, baby.

That's good. Now that one, the lights worked, and he was full. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah, it's perfect. I saw I was driving to work Monday, and I saw somebody hit a deer on the side of the road. Oh. Like a, because it was just nighttime and they hit a deer. And then I drove up like, I don't know, a quarter mile.

And then that big blown up reindeer was also laying down on the side of the road. Oh gosh. You think they just on a deer, hit a real one, hit the fake one. Any deer. Fake deer. He had a big blow-up deer. Big blow up to year. Dang.

That's crazy, man. All right. Up next, he says his mother-in-law is in love with him. So his father-in-law takes it out on him. Here he is. Wish I Merry Christmas to Lunchbox, everybody. I am here coming to Dr. Bones needing an advice, a diagnosis. What do you call it?

Diagnosis. That's what's called it, yes. Diagnostic. Yeah. Diagnosis. Okay, go ahead. Diagnosis. Is it your nasty cough? Yes, listen.

Oh, my gosh. I've had something going on for two weeks, two weeks, and I cannot get rid of it. I've been to the doctor twice in here. Ray, play a little bit of it. Oh, no. Don't play that. Hey, we're good. We hear this during breaks all the time, and we like lean away from him.

Well, he's right next to me. No, no, that's me. Every morning, Ray, play it a little bit. Oh, no more, no more, no more. Go ahead. That is me. I have to get up an hour earlier just so I can cough all the mucus out of my system. I've been to the doctor twice. I can't figure it out, so I'm coming to you, Dr. Bones. What is wrong with me? In general, or the cough? The cough.

I always wonder what's wrong with you normally because you have two people. parents that love you, a stable home, all of these reasons for you to be a little more normal and nice, but you don't, you're not. So that's a whole different thing. Yeah. But being that I do have a doctorate from the University of Arkansas, honorary doctorate. Have you been to the doctor at all? Twice. And they've said, they gave me a breathing treatment. They gave me a steroid shot. They gave me a steroid pack. They gave me cough medicine and cough pills. Guess what? Here we are. Two weeks later. Still got it. It must be viral then. because anything viral you can't really go in and fix.

It's a virus. It's got to run its course. I mean, at night, I'm telling you what, I wake up five times a night. Coughing. Can't sleep throughout the night. Let the doctor talk, man. Have you had any sort of, you've had an antibiotic? I haven't had antibiotic.

Because it's viral. I know. I had steroids. I always like to take an antibiotic for no reason at all a couple times a year. No, don't do that. That's not good. Don't do that. Don't do that.

So, this is what I'm going to say. Do you have like an antibiotic or? Or do you have a Z pack at the house? No, no, I don't have a Z pack. I took a steroid pack. Isn't a steroid pack? I've already done that. You took all the, like five and the four.

Three, two, one. Okay. Boom, all done. So I think what you need to do is just record a couple boneheads ahead of time and then just take a couple days off. And don't talk. Yeah, you can't do anything. Well, no, no, guys, it's been two weeks. No, I'm saying.

No, no, no. You have to just rest and get better. Yeah, he's just trying to find a lot of water. No, no, I drink a lot of water. And I drink a lot of water. And I wake up six times a night. to pee and cough and it's awful. You do at the same time? That feels messy.

Oh, no, it does. It's just a coughing causing you to pee? You have to, like, when you're peeing and you have to cough, you have to hold it in because it gets crazy. It stinks. Coughs are terrible because you can't get rid of them. It has been horrendous. Like, I'm coughing up blood. Well, wait, this is being worse. Okay, now it's elevated. Yeah, let me type it in here.

Oh. I just got the death card. Yeah, sometimes it's mucus, sometimes it's blood. It's terrible. I diagnosed by tarot cards. Well, looks like, uh, yeah, does the doctor another's blood? Yeah, I told him that. And what he said? She was just like, okay, well, we'll give you a breathing. Very sexist to me to say what he would say. I should have said, what did the doctor say?

Yes. Go ahead. They said, my doctor's a guy, so I'd assume everybody else's. They gave me a breathing treatment and said, yeah, that's probably not very good. Probably very irritating. I'm like, yeah, you think? Okay, it's just time. Did you watch the Crown?

The King, the original, the Queen's, you know, that was way back in the day. He was coughing up blood. Pretty sure it was. Yeah, you've, you've, Here's what I'm going to say. You've got three weeks to live. Yeah.

I would find a bull name of Humeanchu. I'm being honest. Go skydiving. Maybe jump out of a plane. Yeah. He's going to cough again. Oh, my goodness. So bad.

Is that blood? Have we tried like mucin? You just want to take it. Bro, just take a couple days off. Man, no. Record a couple of bone heads. I'm here for you guys. I'm here for the listeners.

Bones, he's collecting his mucus in a cup. Come on, we can't have that in the video. That's so great. I mean, I got to. I got my water bottle and I got a cup. You need to just rest and drink a lot of water. All right. Sleep and water is the best thing that we can do once we've tried other things.

If it's viral, ain't nothing happening until it runs its course. I'm very sorry that's happening to you. It's making me feel like I have stuff in micro. No, no, I'm definitely past the contagious stage because, I mean, it's been two weeks. I don't know about that. Well, here's a prescription for some Xanax. What is that? Zanax.

Yeah, that'll put you to sleep. Yeah, just arrest you. Here you go. Take this. All right, let's go over. Here she is. Amy, everybody. So I started sleeping with my phone in the bathroom.

It's close enough to where I can still hear my alarm. Why? Because you talked about this. Man who sleep with phone in bathroom and wake up with stinky phone. No, no, no, no. I've heard from a lot of people that that's the best place to put it. So it's out of your way. You don't have that.

And then like last week you shared with us some story about how it's good to not sleep with your phone by you. And so my bathroom happens to be close enough to where if I have the door open, I can hear my alarm go off and I can still hear my noise maker because I use my phone as a noise maker too It's not going to last

I like the idea but it's not going to last Why? Because you're going to oversleep You're going to sleep a little too hard You won't hear the phone

You're going to get up and be like, I need to check text messages and you're going to be like Why don't I just leave it here You're going to get a second phone line That's not even that phone line You're like well I'm keeping that phone in there

But I keep this one here just in case That's a good Let us know how it works It's the experiment works Yeah I've done it Two nights She's proud of that Hey, it has to start somewhere

I like it, it's right Every great voyage starts with a single step That's right That is right, thank you very much From Mountain Pine, Arkansas He loves Sonic And maybe lunchbox needs a colonic Bobby Bonds

Yeah, maybe he does That's good, man Yeah, I'm not about that For your cough I now diagnose you with Is that the thing up the Let's do it live Yeah

I ain't doing that Colonic Okay here's what to do I need everybody that listens To the show Not everybody, but there's a small selection of folks to, if I'm a doctor and prescribing things, to take a pill, a chill pill. Now, let me tell you what chill pill I'm going to have everybody take. It's the one where you don't get upset because some stations are doing like Mary Swiftmas.

They're giving way Taylor Swift tickets. They're not saying Taylor Swift is bigger than Christ. They're not replacing Christ. It's a goofy name that's just a Taylor Swift giveaway. I get complaints going, why are you doing Taylor Swiftmas? You don't love the Lord? And I'm like, first of all, I'm not doing swiftness. but if a station is and I'm reading their liners

it has nothing to do with their love of the Lord. We have a station that's called like Kicks, like Kix 106. Merry Kicksmas. They're not saying Kicks is better than Christ. It's just a dopey name. I don't even like it. But I'm telling you, don't get up just. And if it's so upsetting to you, you can change the station, even here.

But you can also enter to win. Absolutely. That's what I'm saying. I mean, Taylor Swift tickets are hard to come by. Yeah. There's like Mary Ripsmiss where they do like guitars. That's cool. But don't assume they're taking.

taking Christ out of it for any reason other than it just sound. They may say it's a swiftness Christmas. It's just a replace. It's not even a replacement for Christ. So everybody, take a chill pill. And call me in the morning. Where do we get that pill? You just, it's metaphorical.

Lean up. It's in your butt. Okay. Oh, there it is. That's every question. I'm like, hey, Kayla, have you seen the remote? She's like, oh my, my, because I'm like 12. And she'll hit me back with.

Oh, yeah, have you checked your butt? And I'm like, okay. Ha-ha. She hits me back with the 12-year-old just to be funny. All right, we're here. As you can tell,

we're stupid today. Lunchbox is sick. But toughing it out for you guys. You're free to go home. I'm good, man. The listeners, I mean, they would still tune out, ratings would go down.

And that would hurt us all? Wow, you're giving. Yeah, so nice of you. It's a Christmas season. Christmas spirit, and I hope you have a good tidings for the rest of the show. Thank you, too.

Time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something. Then we call Bobby's Mailback. Hello, Bobby Bones. I could use your advice. One of my best friends recently got married, which is great, except now he insists.

His wife comes with him whenever we hang out. This will be fine, except his wife is a buzzkill. She complains about anything and everything we do. When we go to a restaurant, she complains about the food, the service, the experience. Not only does she complain to her husband, but she complains to the wait staff. Another example of her chronic complaining is when a group of us went to a concert. He brought her, despite the fact that she didn't even know the band. And she complained the entire time.

She complained about the opener, the volume, the link to the concert. Lastly, she criticizes and complains about my driving from the backseat of the car. That irritates me because she didn't offer to drive, pay for gas, and doesn't even know how to get there. I love my friend, and I want to invite him, but I would prefer if he doesn't bring his wife along to everything. I don't know how to tell him this. What do I do? Signed. Friend.

of a best friend with a Buzzkill wife. Yeah, that's complicated. Amy, I heard you over there making a couple noises. What do you think? Yeah, because I'm like, that is such a bummer. I would feel like you would maybe eventually have to say, hey, just going to be the guys. Yeah, you can try that, but if that doesn't work, when it doesn't work, you just have to stop inviting him to things. Oh, him to?

Yeah, well, the problem is you're going to put him in a situation where he has to go to his wife and say, hey, you can't come. It's going to make his home life. uncomfortable. It's everybody loses then. The guy loses. The friend loses, the wife. Everybody loses in that situation. So the easiest thing to do first is go, hey, we're doing a guy's night only. Me and Chuck and Butch and I don't know. We're all getting together. Great guys. We're going and we're eating hamhawks. You know, whatever guys do. And okay, well, you know, it's hard to get away. If he just can't come to something without her, you just can't invite him anymore because you don't want to put him in the situation to go, hey, they don't

want you there because then she'll hate you and then it'll make him not be able to be around you at all. Do you think people that are buzzkills have any inkling they're a buzzkill? Like, do they know? Like, I know I am sometimes. I'm cool with that. That's why I don't do much. Okay. Like, I want to be invited, but I want to go.

But you're not, okay, but you don't annoy other people. I don't, I just don't. You're not vocal about it. You'll go sit in a corner. Yes. And that's just how I live my life. But that's not, you're not making anybody, you're not killing anybody else is fun. Okay, that's fair.

So you're actually not a buzzkill, but I would just, I would give him the opportunity to maybe, I mean, does he know his wife is that way? Could he talk to her about it and be like, hey, babe, could we chill on the complaining? The problem is if you mention it to him, he's also going to be offended. Yeah, because that's his wife you're talking about. Yeah. I know, but. No one wants to hear their wife as a buzzkill. The answer is this.

You say, hey, we're having a guy's night only. Obviously, Chuck and Butch will be there. Yeah, Ham Hawks. And we're going to go and you see if he can come. And if you can then, then you have to strategically plan your guy. nights. But then you have to have her come to things occasionally too. But if you can't, he can't hang out with you anymore. There goes your best friend. That's it. Yeah. I mean, this happens, man. It happens. It does? Yes. I've lost many

of friends. Because of Bud kill wives. Buzzkill wives. And Budkill wives. Wow, I had no idea. It happens. They kill too much of your bud. Then the next thing you know. Like, if you get stopped inviting places of a couple, know you have the Buzzkill wife. Yeah, you know what happened. Yep. Dang, I don't want to be the bug's guilt Which is why Caitlin She's like, why don't we get invited anymore? She got the bugs kill husband

That's not it Yeah, that's it, man, it's easy for you As guys, we can tell you You have to plan a guy's night And you got to be around her some Because she's your best friend's wife But if it comes to the point You can't ask him to say something to her

You just got to not invite him anymore That's the deal. You know why? Just don't Cole said so Yeah, that's why All right, thank you That's the mailbag. it up. We've got your email and we read it on your air.

Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. You would know her from songs like My Church. Can I get a The Bones? Nothing's ever gonna move it when the

bones are good. And I could use a love song. I could use a love song. Great songwriter, great singer. Her husband, Ryan Hurd, a dear friend to mine. I'm very jealous of his muscles. And here she is, Marin Morris. On the Bobby Bone show now. Marin Morris. Okay, here's the thing. Marin's final show and her humble quest tour is happening here on December 2nd. And it's a Bridgestone Arena. Get tickets at

Marin Morris.com. I hope you go, because Marin is lovely and she is a wonderful performer and she has all the songs that you like. Now, I've said all that. Now, Marin, welcome to the show. Hi. See? What do you even say after that? Exactly. So, Marin, there is this romantic version of an artist like yourself and what backstage is. And people are always like, I want to go backstage at Marin Morris. And again, I guess the movies make backstage look cool. Could you explain to our audience what exactly is happening backstage at one of your shows? Bridgetown Arena will probably be a much nicer backstage than a lot of the backstages that we've had in recent tours.

So, I mean, it could be shabbier for sure. I would say, like, we try to have it pretty stick and sand, not too cluttered. We have a vibe room where you can, like, make yourself a drink before the show or playing music and hanging and just, yeah, getting into show mode. But I don't know how romantic it is, unless Ryan's there. Well, I don't even mean like you guys are going to make out. I mean, like, people will think, you know, it's worth the big, all the party in happens. It's like, it's going, it's bat-esque crazy, backstage is where the, you know, the, you know, artist as bonkers before the show.

I mean, it's really just where you kind of, you don't even go, hang backstage for the most part. I mean, usually you're in your bus, right? Yeah, I would say, like, this is the first tour I've hung out the most, just because I've got my son out. And I really enjoy hanging in the venue with everyone. It's fun. But I would say, like, this Friday at Bridgetown, we're obviously going to party on stage, but then I think the after party, because it's the end of the tour, is.

going to be way more intense and fun than the pre-show. And this is why you guys have to go to the show. It's the final show of the tour, which means it all gets left out there. You know, I say a ball player, like, leave it all out on the field. You don't want to finish the game, and it's going to be an excellent show. You should drive in. You should fly in and go to this show. Now, here's the question.

If someone buys merch, now Lunchbox thinks that it is bad form to wear the merch that you bought at that show that night, right, Lunchbox? 100%. you look like a loser. Merrill, what do you think about this role? I have to respectfully disagree. Same. I think it's cool.

I think, like, and also how, who would know that you bought it that day? Because you're wearing it over another shirt. I mean, those people look like absolute tools. Okay, so if you didn't go to the bathroom to change your shirt, like maybe you'll just look a little weird. But yeah, I think that it's cool to wear the merch to the show. Also, a lot of our shows, except for this one, have been outdoors. So if it's chilly at night.

and you see people in the sweat sets, I'm like, oh, that's a really smart purchase. Do you ever wear your own merch? Because you just have some extras, like in a drawer somewhere, and you're like, I guess I'll just wear this. And then you put it on and it's your face? I actually did for the first time on this tour. I wore a face tea because they were brand new

and they looked cool and very 90s. And I'm not ashamed I wore it on stage. Yeah. See, I have a lot of Bibone tour shirts that I cut the sleeves out of and just work out. I have Ryan Hurd shirts and my own merch shirts. That's basically what I work out in. And like long-haired Ryan Hurd.

Is he just dad now with short-haired, or do you think he'll go back to the Jesus look? I do miss the Jesus look on him. Every time it gets a little long, though, he just has that itch to go get it all cut off. So if you can talk him into growing it out, I can't, but maybe you can. All right.

Marin, we have a few questions left for you, which, by the way, everybody needs to go to Marin's final show, Bridgetown Arena in Nashville. Okay, quick version. Quick questions here. Everything that's like your set pieces for your tour. Where does it go once the tour is over? What do you do with it?

I mean, I wish I'd put it in my backyard because this tour set was really cool. It had a ton of trees and all this grass. But I think it goes through a warehouse. And sometimes they get recycled on other tours. But do you want them? I do not want them. But I have a humongous red Bobby Bones. blow up that I have not been able to do anything with since I bought it. And it just sits in my

garage. It's like, I don't know what to do with this. So I can only imagine all the things that you have that you've paid for that you don't know what to do with. I should probably be better on future tours about planning the set so I can use the set pieces after the tour is over in my home. Well, if you need to buy a cheap Bobby Bones, the letters are like six foot tall. Let me know, because I can definitely hook you up. Yeah, would you like a neon hero sign in your basement? You know, that would work a little better than what I have right now. Okay, Marin, quick, Googled questions about you. The most Google questions are, here are the top three.

Number one, how tall is Marin Morris? Five one. What is Marin Morris' most famous song? The Middle or the Bones or my church? I don't know. That's your whole catalog, Marin. We didn't say a whole catalog. Depends on who you asked.

And then finally, does Marin want to get into acting? Yeah, I would try it. Try it like you want to, you're already trying it or you would try it if somebody came to you? I would try it if it was the right project. I don't think I could play someone totally dissimilar to myself, but I think, yeah, I would take a stab at it. Listen, there she is.

I hope everybody goes to the show. You know I'm a massive Marin fan and maran Morris.com. It all ends on this show on Nashville, December 2nd, Bridgestone Arena with Rustin Kelly and Brittany Spencer. Marin, you know, we love you, and I hope the show goes awesome, and we will talk to you and see you soon. Thanks, Bobby.

Bye, Mary. Bye. It's time for the good news. With Lunchbox. Tell me something good. Ernie Botts Jr. is a businessman making business deals trying to get that money. He lives in the Boston area. And last week, he was like, I didn't need to do something good for the community.

So he said, I'm going to give away $50,000 in gas. So he just put on social media, hey, starting at 8 a.m., free gas at this gas station. I bet you there wasn't anybody trampled there. Oh, right? Can you imagine everyone? He just sat there filling up gas tanks for $50,000 every car. You want some gas? Fill her up.

Fill her up. What if you wait in line and the one in front of you is the one that hits $50,000? No more gas. Go home. That has to happen. Go home, everybody. There has to be someone that is the cutoff. Yeah.

But that's the second time he's done this this year. That's crazy. What kind of business? What kind of businessman is he making those business deals making that money? That's what I need to find out because if he's got $50,000 to give away and 100,000. Right. And it's not like it's a to a 501c3.

It's a gas station. That's a charity organization. Like if you have a money, you have to donate it. So why don't you do something like this? You want to make the news, he did. I don't have $50,000. Okay, $49. I don't have $49.

What if I do $5? Hey, you get $5 gas. You get $5 a gas. Would that make the news? I don't know. If you do it twice only? No. What is that one gallon?

And stop right there. You got to make sure everyone stop. What's you do, go? Sorry, that's all you get. What's his name again? His name is Ernie Botch Jr. Ernie Botch Jr. Good deal.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. On yesterday's show, we had a listener call us and say, can you tell me what the Crisleys actually did to go to jail? Now, the Crisleys, a reality show family, you followed their life, they were rich. They were flamboyant, loud, funny. Todd guest hosted this show. He was so nice. I like Todd.

And all of a sudden I see they're in trouble. Then I see they're going to jail for a long time. Both of them. So Lunchbox gave us a story about how, according to the documents in the court case, they apparently committed bank fraud where they took out a loan for 20 million bucks and then transferred the money and then said, oh, we don't have the money anymore. We're going bankrupt. So the money never got paid back, but they got to keep it if it's in somebody else's account. Is that pretty accurate according to what you read? according to what this lawyer on YouTube told me.

Yes. Anything else that there could be not using as a mean of court of law, and this is just something that I heard, and I'm just trying to give it right a bit of a bit of a good deal. Okay, there's the statement I need to read. But they're going to these prisons that are like white collar prisons, and we're like, man, that sounds awesome. Like, you get to go with their tennis courts.

And then people are like, no, it ain't that nice. Okay. I'm going to put on Ed. So Ed apparently worked at the place where the Chrisleys are going to prison. Oh, man. Perfect. Ed, what does that mean you worked at the place?

I was a contractor. We were doing renovations on the air-condition systems. So is it the one where he's going or the one where she's going? No, it's the one where he's going. It's an all-mail facility there in Pennsylvania. So can you tell me what this place is like? Because they say prison, but what was it like on the inside? It's like, it's not jail cells. It's like individual apartments, okay? You've got multiple buildings, has probably got 10 to 15 apartments in each building. They've got a golf course. They've got tennis court They've got a swimming pool

I'm going to the bank today after the show Wow A golf course What is happening? You probably don't need a tea time I do need to go away Oh my god They live better than Ray does

Yeah Wait what Okay I'm sorry to interrupt Ed We're just in discipline Go ahead They have all this stuff Go ahead I'm sorry Yeah they have a dining hall

There's actually no jail cells Anywhere It's all set up like apartments and all the inmates, they do all the groundswork. They cut the grass, trim the bushes, edge, the place is immaculate, you know. And what's so funny about it, I had a truck and a trailer, and when you first come in, you fill out your paperwork, they give you a sticker to put on your vehicle. And when you come in in the morning, they wait you through, and I was pulling a trailer.

And in the afternoon, they never even checked the trailer to see if I had four or five people piled up in the trailer. They just wave at you and tell you. see tomorrow, you know. Like you could have driven out. The security of Solax, you could have driven out with the whole Chrisley family and just pieced out. Yeah. They have a chain link fence around it, but there's no razor wire or nothing like you

would see at a big prison. And the inmates have to wear uniforms, but they give them white pants and like a white polo shirt. They're not in the orange jumpsuits or anything like that. and they even got several of them to come help us when we could unload materials and stuff. It's really lax, you know, but they do have, at night, they go to every apartment and they do a head cap, you know, to make sure nobody left. Why would you want to leave? You got a tea time in the morning.

I wouldn't go. I'd go to bed. Sounds great. Yeah. Wow. You don't want to take anyone to do scourge straight there because they'd be like, no, I'm going to commit some crimes. Right. You know, take a kid to a jockey like your kids.

If you do bad, you'll end up here. Don't go there. I'd like to end up here. Wow. That's amazing. I know. Golf course. I mean, what kind of food?

Do they have like food court? Chick-Blay? Can you imagine? I don't know. We were not allowed to go in the dining hall. We didn't have any work in there, but they told us it was just like a, sort of like a buffet line, you know. They got a P.F. Chang's is what I'm hearing. Olive Garden.

That's crazy. This is so crazy. now I'm jealous Todd Christi he got 20 million bucks and gets to go to fun camp I mean maybe this is all part of his master play

my wife would never say they might be golfing all the time no not in there I'm no you're good I've been given three to five rounds a week wow well Ed I appreciate that call

thank you for the insight you gave us here thank you very much and I appreciate you listening all right thank you sir all right Ed that's crazy

I want to go to jail that's a country club man that's what it is you get to live the country club. Wow. Your membership fee is commit a crime. No kids.

And then to mow the grass, great. I do that every other way, too. I know. Those people probably like to keep a pristine yard. No HOA dues. Jeez. Okay. Well, now I'm sad at my life.

I'm rethinking my life right now. Experts say put a barrier between your tree and your pet, especially when you put your tree up. It's new. It's big. The pet could pull it over. It can start a fire in the house. house, can break stuff. So put your Christmas tree if you can

as close to the corner as possible. So if it does fall, it's got walls to kind of break its fall, surround it. If you can with the baby gate or something to keep the dogs away from it. Otherwise, the trees will die as well. Or the pet could get very sick by eating the needles. The pet

could also die. This is from mental floss. So pets and Christmas trees are an accident waiting to happen. And that being said, I'd like to share, I'll let him share the story, but he almost died. Scoobud, do you want to tell the about you almost dying? Yeah, it happened. Merry Christmas, by the way.

Yeah, good tidings. Yeah, so it happened last night. We're putting up our Christmas lights. And you know how traditionally there's like the plastic Christmas lights that are like the little bulbs? And then they have the nicer ones that are the glass bulbs. So I've got the nicer ones. We were putting them up. Okay, flex.

Yeah, Rick. He didn't even have to do that whole song and dance about cheap and nice. He's like, you know how they have those? Why'd I have the other ones? You could have just said we have the, go ahead. Yeah, well, they were giving me by my grandfather before he passed. And so. Sad.

Okay, he got us back. We're back to even. Go ahead. Thank you. And so I'm putting them up. It's a little wet yesterday. And I'm not paying attention to it. I'm just putting the lights up really quick.

They're plugged in so you can see that they're working or not. And I go to grab what part of the strand and all of a sudden I just almost black out. And I feel this feeling of and I just stood there. And I'm like, what in the heck just happened? And I looked down on my finger and it's stuck in. There's like a bulb missing. My finger got somehow lodged into the actual socket where the bulb goes. You felt the shock.

I felt the shock. I passed out. I don't know how long time passed. Hey, the last thing he remembers is something called Y2K. They were telling us the computers may not work. Yeah, but he passed out standing. Yeah, but how did his electricity stop?

Well, I think there's the difference of passing out and just blacking out. Yeah, I wouldn't say blacking, but like blanking. Blanking. Yeah, yeah. Not like pat. I don't like hit the ground and fall or anything. What did it feel? Did you feel it coming on? Did you feel it at the end of it? How did you get your finger out of it? It was just like an absolute surprise. And so it was there and it probably lasted a few seconds and then I pulled it out immediately.

But what the weird thing was was the feeling that I had. Like it kind of turned me on. The shocking of it. And I kind of wanted to do it again. Wait, what? What were you going to put in the whole? You know what? What in the world? You mean it allowed you to feel something? Yeah, like I felt something. I was like...

You felt alive. Yeah, exactly. I felt like this is wrong. Like, oh my God, I don't want to do it again. But I was like, but I kind of want to do it again. So to you, it was like a thrill. It was kind of a thrill. But I'm nervous because I'm...

Hey, get me a fork. Excuse me, come. Yeah. Bro, like you almost died and now you're all excited about it. Maybe it's the thrill of death. Maybe it excites me. It's a new revelation. Well, I'm glad you didn't die.

Thank you, yes, yeah. And it's really cool. You got to do. expensive ones. Thank you so much for that. Sorry, your grandpa died. Thank you. But I've never heard of anyone getting shocked to the point where they're almost blacking out and going like I really liked it.

Turned him on. That's some dark stuff there. I feel like better help. They'll be like, we have no manual for this. Promote code bones. Yeah. Check it out later. They have to go to like five different therapists.

I don't know, man. He's like, I've tried the drop-down bar. There's just not anything for erotic shocking. I mean. Well, you know. No, ho, ho, ho, buddy. Merry Christmas. I'm glad you're okay.

Did you tell your wife you like that? I haven't told her no. No, because she'll freak out. You're going to have the car battery in the bedroom. What's that called? What's that called? I don't know what it's called. I'm ending this.

No, it's called something. All right. This first voicemail is in regards to Eddie seeing a UFO and coming in on the show. I mean, he's fired up. He saw it. He's excited, a little bit scared, but he's told us all about it.

And this is someone who wants to tell you about that. Come on. Eddie, I'm so sorry, buddy, but you didn't see a UFO. What that was was one of those Chinese fire balloons that they let out, you know, for memory of someone, they go up, and once they get so high, they run out of oxygen and they go out.

It's not that you saw it going up, and then it went so fast, it just disappeared. It's just a light burnout, man. I'm sorry, but unidentified fiery object is what you saw, buddy. Love the show. I don't know that that's what it was. Yeah, I don't know either.

He's being a burnt out. A little bit. I love that people come on and tell me what I saw. Hey, man, you know what you saw? It's a wine cooler. And I had it right before I called here. Six of them. Bartles and James.

Ever heard of them? Bartles and James? That's old school, dude. My mom drank that. Remember the commercial was like two old men? All right, here's Megan. I was out of work for two weeks. I had surgery.

I obviously wasn't going out in the morning to drive to work. But I went back to work this week, and I got to tell you, it makes my morning hearing you guys. I absolutely missed all your voices every single morning. Just wanted to tell you. I love you guys. You guys are awesome. Keep doing what you're doing because you're making my day. Thanks.

It's very nice. Here's a little treat for you. Here's all of our voices at the same time. Three, two, one. I just want you to. No, I just take out. Bada, da, da, da, da, da, da. All right, there you guys for her.

A little treat for you, Meg, Merry Christmas. Good tidings. The Bible show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. I have the most searched celebrity of 2022. Taylor Swift, because she's back. Obviously, the Rock's always up there,

and the Kardashians are always up there. I count the Jenner's in there with that as well. Donald Trump gets a lot of attention. Fauci. This is someone who, you know, a lot of those people over the, the years, it could be any given year that maybe they were the most searched. This is really just this year. I doubt you've ever searched this person before this year. MeMe outside. Oh, catch me outside.

Yeah, that's what it is. Catch me outside. Who is it, Amy? Amber Hurd. Most searched? Yeah, because of the Johnny Depp. No, I know why, but I didn't care enough of. Well, that's surprising. She got an average of 5.6 million searches every single month. Yeah, I just give no craps. at all. That trial was awesome. Not even, yeah, you said that. I don't, I don't even have a mild interest. Okay, well, right behind her, Austin. Yes. Yeah. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Right behind her with 5.5 million searches per month would be Johnny Depp. Oh, the trial. Who were you going to say? Not them. I don't know, McGruff, crime dog. Anybody but them. I just, I just wasn't interested. I felt like it was a little too

dramatic. I'm not, that's not my thing. Okay, what else? There's a new popular emoji. I want to see if anybody in here is using it. You know the one that I use a lot now? The smiley face, but with the glasses like I wear. Oh, yeah. Oh, because it looks like you. It's good for you. Yeah, but you know why I use it.

Do you know what my statement is when I use that? Smart. I know what I'm talking about. That's show biz, baby. It can be any of those. Here's the thing. I just post it when I have nothing to say back and people just interpret their own way

because it really says nothing. It just looks like me. So if someone's need a message and because sometimes you have to end text with people, like people that are older want you to end text with people. want you to end text conversations with them. Or they also sign their name sometimes too. Yes, yeah. I've seen that. Yeah.

And so I just started to post that as like my ending is it means nothing. And so now somebody else sent me a text and I don't have a response. Send it back. Because it looks like me and they just think it's like me posting me. So, but that ain't it, but that should be. It's my number one. I'm going to go the hand clap. No.

It is the saluting face emoji where the emoji is like, oh, saluting. I get confused. using all the water come out of the eyes because there's water that's like pouring out of the eyes like crying. There's like the sweat cry but it's also like are you sweating or are you crying? There's, so it's like which one?

There's the laughing crime one too. There's the smirk too. It's like this and you're like but what are you saying to me? What's the smirk? Oh I like that one. I know but there's so many ways to interpret that. Nope. I asked I said okay what's this smirk and it was like because that's pretty funny.

It's not the smirk. There's a too many. So you know what I sit back? The glasses. There we go. There you go. Well, the reason why this is so popular is in the tech world, and this is according to the New York Times, so many people are getting laid off like Twitter and other companies that it's their stoic

farewell and gesture of respect to their colleagues as the ship goes down. And it's just all over Twitter and different platforms. Well, that got said. That's what they post when they get fired. Let's go find a new job. Okay. All right. Thank you.

So gender reveals sometimes can go terribly wrong. And poor Carrie Underwood, it happened to her, and it was not her fault. She had a show in Salt Lake City, and she agreed to help a family do a gender reveal. But the nurse read the chart wrong and ended up just sharing the gender of the mom instead of the baby. So Carrie's like, it's a girl. Still 50-50 chance, that's right. Yeah. Even though she messes up there.

So I'm guessing it's a story because it's a boy. Yeah, it's a big upsie. Yeah, my big upsy was asking them, because I've done them before too. My big goopsy was going, all right, what do you want? And I got them, all right, here we go. What would you prefer? What do you want a boy? It's a girl.

Oh, man. I just shouldn't ask. I just should open it and be like, yeah. Yeah, well, but how do they know it was a mess up? Well, the nurse was involved. Like, every, I don't know. It just got wrong. There's a whole clip on TikTok about it, but it's kind of just, just confusing.

I'm going to search that one out. But Carrie was just sharing on TikTok. like explaining how it all got messed up and she felt really bad, but it was the nurse's fault. She took ownership. Okay, there you go. 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. Teresa Novak, been a teacher for nearly 30 years, always known as the teacher who gives all to her students. Now she is donating part of her liver to one of her former students. What?

Wow. Yeah. Anytime you're going, like I get it. You want to borrow a jacket? Yeah, cool. Even borrow the car, just put gas in and clean it up, you know? But like a liver, a piece of your liver. That's awesome.

Yeah. One of Novak's first students when she was in fourth grade back in 1997 was Derek Norton. She works with Derek's sister at Woodridge High School in Peninsula, Ohio, and learned that Norton, who is married and has a young son, was suffering from a rare autoimmune condition and needed a transplant. So she read about it. She got tested. but didn't say anything about it. They didn't want to build up hope. Got tested.

She's a match and she will be as living donor. The surgery is scheduled for this week. She says family's grateful. She's just doing what she believes is right and what she hopes someone would do for her if she were in the same position. Quote, you can never predict something like this, but he's one of my kids and he needed me.

That's awesome. That's, I mean, it's a liver. And you're the doctor, so tell me, I'm the doctor. Eventually our listeners are going to really think I'm a real doctor. Just as everybody knows, I'm an honorary doctor. I have an honorary doctor at the University of Arkansas.

So, sure. It's a real, okay, but I'm not. You're the doctor. Yeah, you're the doctor. So, I mean, that's the organ you want to donate, right? It grows back. You regenerate. Like a starfish?

Healthily, yes. As long as you're good. And it doesn't always regenerate to the exact same shape-size condition. See, I know you'd know. Well, no, no. Doctor tell us more. But it does, yes, it does hopefully grow back. Right.

If you donate a kidney, you don't get that. That does not grow back. That's just an empty space. For rent. You put a for rent sign in there. Put anything in there you want. You can be a storage unit for something else. Yeah, shout out to Teresa Novak.

That's awesome, Teresa. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. All right, if you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company, you know the drill.
