Starting point is 00:02:44 Morning. Let's go. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Up first. When I met him, he was a local TV producer that I was matched with in Austin, Texas, and heck, we didn't even have to swipe right. Look where we are now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Here he is. Producer ready, everybody. Guys, guys, I want to give you an update real quick on all this laundry system that I did in my house. It's working fantastic. What's the system? The system is to, you. give all my kids their own basket. They fill their dirty clothes. I do the laundry, but as soon as it's done, I dump it back in the room
Starting point is 00:03:15 and they fold it. It's been, what, a month? Do they fold it? They fold it nice and neat. They hang it up on their hangers. I'm pretty, everyone but the baby. Well, baby's got it in line then. He's only three. He'll get there. All right, good to know. Next up, when I met him, he was working as a delivery driver for Jason's deli.
Starting point is 00:03:33 He had worked his way, as he says, all the way up to delivery boy number one? No, number two. He was close. He was close. Man, number one. Here he is. Lunchbox. Guys, the other day, I was walking the dog early in the morning,
Starting point is 00:03:44 and I had no idea this job still existed. Did you know they still deliver newspapers in the car? Someone drives by me, throwing newspapers out. And I was like, wow, people still get the newspaper delivered to their house. Amazing. Yeah, they still do that. Shocking.
Starting point is 00:04:01 So you didn't know the newspapers were still coming to houses. I had no, I thought everybody did it online. I didn't know newspaper delivery person was still a living. My mom used to do it. It brought back a lot of memories. And I was just like, good. I'm glad that guy's still out there delivering newspapers.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Nice. When I first met her, she was selling granite for a rock wholesaler. Still not sure what that means. Here she is. Amen. Okay, so I've been doing my Four Things podcast for years now, but I've never done it live before.
Starting point is 00:04:29 And we announced that I'm doing my first live show in Wichita. And so I would appreciate if the veteran in this category, which is Bobby, I feel like you've done tons of live things. would offer me advice. You just got to do it and mess up a lot. That's not the advice you want to hear, but you just got to do it.
Starting point is 00:04:46 It'll be awesome. If you're in Wichita, you should go to this. Amy, the tickets go on sell Friday, right? Friday at 10 a.m. My only advice is go do it, and then when everything goes wrong, because some stuff will go wrong. You just be like, all right, well,
Starting point is 00:04:56 the next time will be even better. Because you got it. Eddie and I played restaurants for 50 people. Fire alarms are going off. Sandwiches will be in delivered while we're playing. Equipment didn't work. Everything goes wrong. But that's how you get better.
Starting point is 00:05:07 You do it wrong and you learn. And finally, Finally, we got a voicemail here to set me up. I have an intro for Bobby. Standing in at six foot one inches tall, the sugar craving. His band is raging from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. Bobby, Bo! There we go.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Thank you very much. Nick in Wisconsin, that was awesome. Snake in the Grass is over. It's over. The final episode was on Monday. I don't know if we're going to do another season. We'll just wait and see. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I've mentioned before, they spent a whole bunch of money on that show. not knowing that they were going to put it on USA Network. The show did wonderfully, and I'm very proud of it. Don't know if they can justify spending that money again if they put it back on USA. But I don't know anything. Hopefully I'll find out when it comes to Peacock, and you can watch every episode on Peacock.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But Snake in the Grass is now over. It was eight episodes, and it was amazing. So thank you for the support, yes. How long until we find out if there's season two? I don't know. Is there anyone we can call it? I've already called. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I'm just like, do we know anything? Do we just call USA Network? Do they have a number? about write letters. We just call 1-800 USA? It'll be in the paper, lunchbox. So, yeah. Order one to your house.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Maybe you'll see it first. All right. All right, that's how we do it. We started the show. Hope you guys are good. Let's get going here. It's time for the mailbag. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:06:25 You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Hello, oh, whoa, whoa, Bobby Bones. My six-year-old was being bullied in her new gymnastics class about her having a little belly. When my wife picked her up, she was in tears and she was so upset. Of course, rage overtook me, but I did not let her see it. It's the first time she's been picked on about anything and she just can't understand why someone would say such mean things. How do you
Starting point is 00:06:55 recommend handling this? My wife has a three-strike rule and then pulls her out if the instructor's disciplinary actions don't fit. My advice is to punch her in the mouth next time. Nipped the bullying in the bud. My wife doesn't like the idea. I've been teaching her self-defense in boxing, so she has the skills to take up for herself, but she has too kind-hearted, it seems. Any advice, thanks. Father of a bullied six-year-old. You're going to deal with this her whole life. Even the coolest kids, and I say coolest with finger quotes, because even the coolest kids get bullied at different stages. I was never a cool kid. I got bullied my entire life. Self-defense is that. It's to defend yourself physically if someone else is coming at you, trying to hurt you physically.
Starting point is 00:07:40 So she doesn't need to use the punching, the boxing. No. If somebody hits her and she feels like she can't stop it, then she should use self-defense. But not in this situation. I think it's the education process of knowing why bullies bully. It sucks. I'm not going to act like it's fun. It's easy.
Starting point is 00:07:57 But she's going to deal with this forever. And you're going to give her a band-aid for a situation that needs, like, long-term health. so people pick on you and bully you because they themselves feel insecure about something. That's the root of everything. If anything, it's a try to teach her that she should feel sorry for them. The bullies are losers. That's how I'd say it at first. But then you go, you know what?
Starting point is 00:08:21 They're not losers. They're just sad people. And so she should feel sorry for them and you should teach her to hopefully be, and it's tough either be extra nice back or just don't do anything at all. but not don't be mean don't confront again if she's ever threatened physically then you have to do what you have to do you can tell the teacher but i don't think you take her out of three strikes i think now you start arming her with the tools for what's going to happen the rest of her life and at six i'm sure it hurts but it's probably the best time to start because you can't shill them from this
Starting point is 00:08:52 forever that's my advice educate her on why bullies bully and tell her awesome she is amy i just had this exact conversation with my son because he was in a situation where he was definitely bullied and I know the kid and I know what he's going through. And so I just had an honest conversation with my son about how that kid is hurting. And my son immediately had compassion. And I could see him say, oh, man, yeah, wow, I do feel bad for him. And it's not that my son should have to endure that. I also talked to the parent. I went to the mom and we had a discussion and I have compassion for the parents. And I have, I have compassion for the parents and what they're dealing with. So, because that could easily be my son that turns around and does it to somebody else.
Starting point is 00:09:35 And so it's just learning to work together. And it probably will be at some point. Yes. It's just going to happen to your daughter, sir. I don't like to have to say that, but it is. And it's not teaching her how to get away from it. It's teaching her how when adversity hits, how to actually address it, because it's going to come in many forms through her life.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It stinks. And, I mean, I got physically beat up a bunch as a kid, too. But then what I did is, I started. started doing people's homework and I would take that money sometimes and I would pay people to go and beat them up. Smart. So, I didn't know self-defense, but what I knew was how to do homework and get a dollar a page. That's right. And then I would hire people to go and if somebody was pounding on me to go and I threatened or don't do that right now.
Starting point is 00:10:20 But everybody's got to figure out their way out of the situation. But for right now, teacher, you know, you've heard this thing. Hurt people, hurt people. I'm sorry you're going through this, but it will not be the first time. Doesn't mean it's any easier, but you can get through it, I promise you. No punching, no leaving class. Go tell the instructor, like Amy said. And thank you for the email because a lot of parents are going through this right now.
Starting point is 00:10:39 All right. That's that. That's the mailbag. Close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. I saw this video on TikTok and the back of the SUV's opened up and I'm like, something's moving around.
Starting point is 00:10:55 And then a bear crawls out. of the SUV, and then the video goes into the... And it is destroyed. I mean, it is like, it was barely left standing. And Eddie and I were in California the whole last weekend. And Eddie was looking for a bear the whole time. That's all I wanted, man, to see a bear. We went hiking one time.
Starting point is 00:11:16 He jumped out of his skin. And then a woman comes around the corner walking. He's like, I thought it was a bear. She was wearing a dark shirt. Did you have bear spray? No. What if y'all encountered one? Yeah, we talked about that.
Starting point is 00:11:27 We talked about it, and he was like, what do we do? We're supposed to go, like, run to it and lift our arms up. I'm like, no, that's if the bear is literally going to attack you. I said what we would do is we'd slowly back away and just walk and get away from the bear. That's not what you said. You said you would push everyone towards the bear and then run the other way. That's if the bear started running. I'd shove you toward it because the bear only wants one of us.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Right. Yeah. They'll get preoccupied with him. Yes. You go. So we have on Vicki, whose SUV the bear was in. And Vicki, are you there? I am.
Starting point is 00:11:57 So, hey, so wait, where were you when you found out this bear was in your truck? I was in bed. I was at my cabin in Arnold, California. And somebody wakes you up and goes, Vicki, somebody or something's in the truck, or they know it was a bear? We had no idea. So at like 4.30 in the morning, Arnold's dead quiet, by the way. This is like the country. And I heard some honking.
Starting point is 00:12:20 So I got up and I looked around and didn't see anything. So I went back to bed. And at 6.30, two of my girlfriends came in panic. saying that my car had like taken on a light of the phone. Lights were coming on and off. It was honking. So then we went out to the balcony. I mean the hazards are on.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I mean, it's like it's being stolen. Every signal in this truck, SUV, whatever you're going to call it, is going off. And so did you leave it open or did the bear pop the back? Oh, no. I opened that when we were trying to find out what happened. So the doors might have been unlocked, but he or she could have been a guy,
Starting point is 00:12:57 girl, I don't know, opened the back door with their bear paw. That's crazy. You open the door, the bear open the door. So the bear gets in and guys, I wish I could explain to you what it looks like, but it's like the bear went in and ripped all the stuff from the top of the car. And there's metal hanging down. Everything. So then what are you, after the bear runs into the woods, then what do you do?
Starting point is 00:13:19 I was so stunned. I couldn't even move. I just stood there. So I was up on the balcony of my house and my two girlfriends run down. They open the doors and I see like little pieces of garbage fall out and that's where I say what I say in the video. But I just, I had no idea that that was my car coming apart. I was not ready. Yeah, and it looks like the car should.
Starting point is 00:13:40 It's metal. I mean, this is how strong these bears are. So did the car drive fine? Did somebody come and tow it out of there? What happened? No, you couldn't drive it. The whole dash is ripped out. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:13:50 So we had to call a tow track driver. This is a very boogey bear. I mean, he wanted a Ranger over and he tried to drive it. So what was in the Rangerover food or smell-wise that made him get into it? Altoids. Are you curious? Seriously? I mean, that is the only thing that was in there and he didn't even touch him.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Didn't even look at him. Like you left a half rack of ribs or chilies or something in there. Not a thing. I don't have little kids. We didn't eat in the car. There was nothing in there for it to get. What did insurance say when you called and told them? They could not believe it.
Starting point is 00:14:21 They were just laughing and stunned. But it's covered, which is great. Yeah, it's a bizarre, bizarre situation. And I guess I thought that it was, the back was, so somebody had to go and actually open the back while the bear was in there? So we literally stood on that second balcony and like stunned for about seven to ten minutes wondering what was in the car. I mean, part of me thought maybe a tweaker. Yeah. Terrible.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I had no idea what was in the car and I said, oh, I'll pop the hatch. And then we put on the TV or the telephone camera. And still nothing happened. It sat in there. It didn't realize that the hatch was open. So that's when my friend who's a horse girl and very brave moved the truck behind it to get its attention. I feel like if I were going to have to go and open the hatch, if I knew a bear was in there. I would open it like I would light a firecracker.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Like you run down, you light it than you run as soon as possible so you don't get blown up. But that's a crazy story. So are you, like are people calling you, have the news run this clip? Like what's happened with this clip since you posted it? It went viral. I mean, it's got like over two million views. But no, nobody's called me. I actually had a California wolf spider land on me the next day,
Starting point is 00:15:31 and that video got the ring's attention, and they want an interview, which is funny, or on TV. The ring? What's that? You know, the ring cameras. Oh, they, oh, wow. So if weird stuff happens to you on a ring cam, that's how you can make money.
Starting point is 00:15:47 Oh, so I need to get a ring camera. Do a ring camera and set up some weird stuff to happen to you on a ring cam. Yeah. Well, Vicki, we really appreciate. you calling and sharing your story with us. Thank you, guys. It's very weird. That's really weird.
Starting point is 00:16:00 And we'll link it on our page so people can see it. But the bear's in the truck. And the bear probably did open the door handle. It's not this bear's first rodeo. And he likes luxury cars. Well, Vicki, thank you. Hope you have an awesome day. And we will talk to you soon.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Thanks, guys. Okay, thanks. Bye-bye. Here's the thing, guys. I don't know why I say we'll talk to you soon. I'll probably never talk to her again my whole life. Good point. But I just am used to saying that on.
Starting point is 00:16:24 with people on the phone, like interviews and stuff. Like, all right, talk to you. And that felt like an interview. More than it did a caller that was calling in. All right, talk to you soon. The narrator, they never spoke again. But that was awesome. Great story.
Starting point is 00:16:37 It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Terrence Sessions was gassing up his car when he looked and he saw a wallet laying in the middle of the road. And he was like, man, I got to get that wallet. You know, gas is expensive. So he goes out there, plays a real-life Frogger. Woo!
Starting point is 00:16:57 Doge and cars, woo! For those don't know how frog it is, it's an old, old game. It's like an Atari game where you're like, boink, boing. Dodging cars coming through. Like, jump up, jump back. Yeah. You don't know a frog. It's an arcade game.
Starting point is 00:17:08 It was like in every pizza hut. Well, it's also not a little boy. Okay. Not that are all little boys, but I think most, yeah. So it's probably an age and a boy thing. Go ahead. So he finds the wallet and he finds an ID in it. And he had his daughter in the car, so he's like, what should I do with it?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Should I just go turn it into the gas station? Should I just leave it, you know, just toss it in the trash? So, nope, he put the wallet in his pocket. After he got done gassing up his car, he drove to the house, and it was a nurse that had dropped her wallet. Boom. So he was teaching his daughter something really nice, like, hey, when you find something, you return it. Is that a story about the woman who found all the money in the KFC sandwich in the box?
Starting point is 00:17:42 No. Don't tell me more. Well, it turns out that was like their deposit. They put it in the, they gave her the wrong box. She took it back. Whoa, wait, wait. Why would you put money in a chicken box? Well, what I think happens is you put it in a zipper thing, and then you probably put it in a box of something.
Starting point is 00:17:58 I mean, maybe, I don't know. I don't know. Why would there be money in the chicken box? Oh, I see what you're saying. So they disguise it when they carry it out. It looks like they just have a bucket of a chicken. Good call. So I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah. I don't know if it's a bucket. I think it was a box. They hit her in the box to the window. Question. If I keep that money, am I in trouble? They probably never know. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:14 No, not exactly. But I'm saying that was the great thing about it. She took it back. What do you mean? You'd be on camera getting that bucket. box. You'd be in trouble with your heart. But how would they know which one it was?
Starting point is 00:18:23 Exactly. They know it's like one of ten. Exactly. I'm not on your team. I'm just saying it's not as, you probably probably never know. And that's why I think it was great that she gave it back.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Exactly. I told you. So both are good stories. Yeah, but Terris did that to teach his daughter or, you know, hey, be responsible and turn things in. There you go. And she did this to teach people
Starting point is 00:18:41 who got chicken. Turn money in. Did they give her reward? I don't think so. Maybe they gave her a chicken coupon. Oh, that would be nice. That would be nice. I don't know if that's true.
Starting point is 00:18:49 All right, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey, Morgan, a lot of listeners said they wanted to hear your story about you catching the person stealing your mail or trying to steal your mail. What happened? Yeah, so I was at work, and I got a notification for my ring doorbell camera. And I pull it up, and I look, and there's this orange Nissan Ultima sitting in my driveway. Never seen that car in my life. That's a bold car to be stealing.
Starting point is 00:19:15 An orange Ultima? Yes. Like, get a white one. Wow, okay. And I was shocked. I was like, maybe they're turning around. No, they're sitting there for several minutes. And then finally, my notification goes off again. And the passenger gets out of their car, goes to my mailbox, opens it up, looks for anything. And then closes it, runs back to the car and they drive away. So there was nothing in there, luckily? Thank goodness, nothing was in there. Yeah. So what do you do? I filed a police report. And, I mean, I'm hoping they find them. It's an orange car. There's not a lot of orange cars out there.
Starting point is 00:19:45 That's what I'm saying. Like, get an automobile that is it more disinally. Yeah. So a couple things. One, what people do, some people do that want to steal your identity, if they get into your mail, and they can find anything with your social or part social address, that stuff's in your mail. So what they do is they try to steal your mail, then they can have at least one or two data points to try to steal your identity. That's thing one. Thing two is they may just be trying to steal stuff, like a porch pirate, but without the guts to go all the way up on the porch. But not as good as stuff in the mail, maybe a check or something.
Starting point is 00:20:19 something. But yeah, I'm glad you caught them. So what do the cops say or what do they say when you called it? They haven't said anything. And I did talk to my mailman about it happening. He was like, you can put up one of those locked mailboxes that they can't get into. And I did because I hadn't done this before. I changed all of my statements over to electronics. So now they really can't get a hold of anything. It'll just be like junk mail in there. That's the number one thing they advise people to do. If you can make it electronic, do because it's hard for people to get that information if it's on the internet, especially people that are just driving around looking in mailboxes. But I'm glad you made that call because they're not just doing this to you.
Starting point is 00:20:53 No, multiple people. This is somebody in the neighborhood or somebody in town that's going to mailboxes trying to steal mail for one reason or the other. That's also very scary. They do it in the daytime. I guess when everybody's at work? Yeah, I guess they thought I wasn't there. But I just can't get over that. It was an orange car.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Like, they can find you very easily with an orange car. Yeah, it'd be like somebody, you know, in a chick-fil-A van. You'd be like, bro, you're driving the loudest vehicle that there is. Speaking of money, here's a story because it does kind of give us an idea of what happens if this happens. And the whole story is if somebody put extra money in lunchboxes account, what would he do? He'd spend it. And he did spend it. Who did that happen to here?
Starting point is 00:21:30 Me. It was you. Yeah, I went to the ATM and it accidentally said you had $450 extra dollars. Like, okay. So I bought a plane ticket to Vegas. Right. And eventually the bank came back and said, you owe us this money. I was trying to tell him, money gone.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Sorry. But they said. we're taking their money from you. And so many times there's a story about somebody gets paid too much. And lunchbox is like, no, they should have to pay. Run, I'd move. I'd get an island. We're like, bro, is $1,000. I'd still get an island.
Starting point is 00:21:57 So here you go. Google accidentally paid a guy $250,000 three weeks ago. It wasn't his money. And so he gets on Twitter and is like, hey, guys, I got this money. Google, please take it back. No one won't answer. I can't get in touch with anybody. His name is Sam Curry.
Starting point is 00:22:12 He's a staff security engineer in Omaha, Nebraska. So he says, it's been a little over three weeks since Google randomly sent me $249,99, and I still have not heard anything back. He said, I sent a support ticket. And then he tagged Google. Is there anything we can do? So he's like, it's okay if you don't want it back, but I'm just putting it out there. And so Google finally confirmed it had accidentally paid the guy, the 249-999. It was human error.
Starting point is 00:22:39 And they were going to retrieve the payment, which is what he wanted. So then an attorney jumped in on this because this is often- Yes. The attorney is going to agree with me and be like, dude, you could have kept that money. Let's go. So, Peter M. List with Vista criminal law, this is what he said. It's illegal to knowingly keep money that was accidentally deposited into your account. Spending that money is considered a form of theft, which could result in misdemeanor charges if the deposit is under 950 or felony charges for a larger amount.
Starting point is 00:23:08 So that is a crime. If you know, and it was an accident, that is a crime. No, no, shake your head. It is. It's literally the law. You don't know that that was an accident. You assume they tried to pay that. Like, you're good at your job.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Cool. Thanks, man. You don't assume that if you've never once had a check like that ever, and it shows up randomly. You don't assume that. There's another story. Honda is asking for cash back from employees after they overpaid bonuses. Oh, no. A company's employing thousands of people in Central Ohio,
Starting point is 00:23:32 and they've had to go by those people and be like, hey, we need our money back. That stinks. Employees say a return of the money will be hard for the families, but an attorney not involved with the case that Honda's properly going about collecting the overpayments according to the memo, the employee owed just shy of 8% of his bonus payment back. And they go on to say the same thing under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Overpayments of bonuses or wages can be recouped by the employer. That stinks so you get a bonus. Yeah. Yeah, man. You're like, wow, especially if they didn't tell you how much it was, then you just see it and you think that your whole bonus. That's a little. Exactly. This is going to create a bad work environment.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Everybody's going to be mad. That's from NBC4. Two stories, which may be hard to believe. Number one, scientists claim we'll find aliens within 25 years. That's our lifetime. That's it. That's our lifetime. A government scientist said that we'll be able to find alien life outside of our solar system within 25 years.
Starting point is 00:24:26 But current technology such as the James Webb Space Telescope, one of our most powerful is not powerful enough to locate it yet. So it's an astrophysicist, all these fancy titles. And he's like, yeah, we'll find it next 25 years. All the stuff that's been leaked out. and even the people that are going, we can't tell you everything because if we did, this place would go bananas.
Starting point is 00:24:49 There's just so much of that where there's a whole lot of smoke, there's something burning. I'm not going to go straight smoke fire, but I'm going to say where there's a whole, a whole lot of smoke. There's something burning. So that's the first wild story.
Starting point is 00:25:03 The second one is actually from this show because we are going to Las Vegas this weekend for our IHeart Radio Music Festival. And it's also, it's a big weekend for lunchbox because he loves Vegas and he loves trying to act like a big deal in Vegas. Yes. He likes to tell people who he is.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So here's his new idea. Go ahead. I want to hire bodyguards for this weekend in Las Vegas. Do you think you're in danger? No, I don't think I'm in danger. I think it's a status symbol that people will be like, when you see people with body guards, you're like, oh, who is that?
Starting point is 00:25:30 Who is that? So if even they don't know who I am, they're going to start asking questions like, hey, do you know who that is? And they're going to try to take pictures and be like posting online. Hey, who is this guy with body guards? Let's just picture this.
Starting point is 00:25:42 I'm sitting at a blackjack table, right? Hold on. We're picturing it, everybody. Get your pictures ready. I got chips stacked in front of me. But in chips, though, it's not like hundreds of thousands. It's like 80 bucks. Right.
Starting point is 00:25:52 And I have a couple drinks there, you know what I mean? And I'm sitting there. And there's two bodyguards just standing behind me. Just like, boom. Everybody is going to be like, man, who's that playing blackjack? Who is that? So your dream is just for people to take pictures of you and not know who you are? Well, they're going to send to their friends like, oh my gosh, I saw this celebrity.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Had two body guards. It's a status thing, and I think it just gets me even more to a bigger level. Like, when you're in Vegas and you have bodyguards, people take notice. But how would that get you to a bigger level? Like, where's the... I mean, more people start following me. They don't know who you are. They're going to ask their friends.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Hey, I got to pay for this person. Now, do you want to pay for this? Or do you want the company to pay for it? I was thinking the company would pay for it. Okay, here you go, per day for a full-time bodyguard per day, is around $1,000 bucks a day. That's perfect. So $2,000 a day for two bodyguards for three days.
Starting point is 00:26:40 You're looking at $6. and you want the company to pay for that? Yeah. Zero percent chance. But don't you think it would be... We're lucky we're not standing in Reno and driving down to Vegas. Don't you think it would be awesome though? If I had bodyguards everywhere I went?
Starting point is 00:26:52 No. You don't need them and it would be stupid. And it's also not a status symbol thing. Oh, yeah, right. Why not just get nice clothes? Well, I can do that too, but no one, everybody has nice clothes in Vegas. A lot of people have nice clothes in Vegas. You have people in cut off teas and then people in suits.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I mean, that doesn't do anything. Bodyguards sends a message. It does send a message, but I don't think it's for you. Man. I think it's kind of, we'll call it, we'll say D.E. It's early in the morning. We'll call it D.E. I think it's D.E.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Yeah. Rises with Mushi. Oh, I just thought, man, I thought about it and I was like, man, that'd be so cool to have bodyguards around me. I told the story on my sports podcast, 25 whistles, a couple weeks ago. Caitlin and I were at dinner during our vacation, and all these bodyguards come in, like four of them. Big dudes.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yeah. And they're all wearing Nike Air. shirts. They weren't all black, but Nike are on the back. And Caitlin's like, somebody's here. And I'm like, what do you mean? She goes, there are four bodyguards that walked in. And one of them was talking to the manager. And so we're right next to them. And the manager is like, no, we can't, we can't do that. What the bodyguard had asked was for them to clear the restaurant completely. So you get everybody out of the restaurant because this person coming in wanted the restaurant to themselves. And the manager's like, no, I'm not doing that. And so the bodyguard walks off and then Caitlin sees who it is.
Starting point is 00:28:09 And she's like, do not turn around. Do not turn around. I was the first you don't tell somebody who wants to turn around don't turn around because then I want to really turn around and so then apparently the bodyguard asked okay well then we need everybody hit their phones away there are like four people in this restaurant by the way it's late it's like no phones no phones at all and so they were like no we're good and so he's like well our our person can't eat here then and so they're like okay cool and I think they were a little surprised by that and so it was Drake and then Drake walked what See, I'm talking about. Notice the bodyguards, you said. They didn't do anything for them. They literally didn't take anybody out. They didn't take anybody's cell phone. And what they did, they're like, hey, we can get you a table.
Starting point is 00:28:51 We'll put it right down because we're at this restaurant near the beach. 20 feet away. They put a table on the beach that they would have done for anybody if they would ask, even if we'd asked. And Drake sat down there with his girlfriend or girl and ate dinner. But he wanted to be seen. Like, he went parading through the rest. It was a whole thing. Wait, but I thought he didn't want to be seen.
Starting point is 00:29:07 No, no. That's the whole point. He sent bodyguards in. My opinion is he said. sent bodyguards in to be like, okay, we need to get everybody out of here. We'd be like, why? And then we all had to get kicked out. Or put your phones away.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Why? And then we tweet. Drake made us put our phone away. But they didn't allow any of that. And then Drake didn't get to eat in the restaurant. And he went down to the, you know, 30 feet away at the beach. Oh. That is cool.
Starting point is 00:29:29 And he walked by. Yeah. It's funny. He was like, Kaylon's like, don't turn around. Don't turn around. And he walked right by our table. And that's it. And then he walked.
Starting point is 00:29:37 And then he was like, bam, uh, baby, you're my everything. Oh, he did? No, but in my mind, he was saying that as he was going by. But he had bodyguards. He probably pays them and probably needs them. You proved my point for me. The bodyguards walked in and your wife. If you want to pay for them, get it.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And your wife immediately goes, there's someone here because there's bodyguard. She wasn't impressed. She was like, why are they doing? They're trying to kick people out. Man. It's cool. Fans of Drake, but we're not going to go up and, hey, we're eating there, Drake. So if you want to pay for it, go for it.
Starting point is 00:30:03 But I don't think you want to pay for it. No, I was hoping the company. Yeah, there's zero percent chance of that. We'll find aliens before the company does that in case anybody's wondering. On the phone, Carol, who lives in Massachusetts. Good morning, Carol. Good morning. How are you?
Starting point is 00:30:17 What can I do for you? So we saw Jason Aldeen in Mansfield, Massachusetts over the weekend, and he's touring with Travis Tritt. So I was wondering, because you're so close to Jason Aldine, why you don't ask him what's going on with Travis Tritt? Well, here's a thing about. Travis Tritt. He blocked me on Twitter. There's rarely a nice word said about him as a person, but I love Travis Tritt's music, and I just kind of, I'm good where I am. I have a good separation. I can still enjoy his music. I ain't trying to force anything. I don't need to be everybody's friend. And if I ever just
Starting point is 00:30:59 want to slam some awesome 90s, what I don't want to do? Take it easy. Take it easy. Yeah, I want to do, it's a great day to be alive. And if all he did is block me on Twitter and say a couple things, all good. If he punches me in the face because I tried to, then I can't even listen to his music anymore. Yeah, that's different. Yeah. So, we're good. I'm good. I don't want to hit up Jason. It'll be like, yo, dude, can you make me and Travis Friends?
Starting point is 00:31:22 Yeah. But it's a great question, Carol. But I'm pretty good where I am because I still want to enjoy Travis Tritz music because I do a whole lot. Yeah, he's really good, but we didn't know he was opening. We thought it was Tracy Morris. So we were like, oh, no, we're going to be betraying Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:31:40 if we go see him because he's not being nice to him. It's okay. You're like, oh, no. I enjoy Travis Tritz music. Now, Tracy Lawrence, now that's my dude. Yeah. I love Tracy Lawrence. As a person, his music, Eddie and I open for Tracy Lawrence once.
Starting point is 00:31:53 And I love Tracy Lawrence gives back. Every Thanksgiving does a humongous turkey fry. Like, that's the guy right there. Hey, more Tracy Lawrence's. And we'll just leave it there. Yeah, just that's it. All right, Carol, thank you very much. Hope you have an awesome day.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Sure. You two things. All right. Bye-bye. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So have you been wearing white, even though it's after Labor Day? I thought that rule was dead like 1989. I know, but some people still hold on to it. So this is your friendly reminder that you can ignore that outdated fashion rule.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Other things to ignore, jeans with a jean jacket is cool now. So denim on denim. Canadian tuxedo. That's what that is. Rocket soldiers. Yeah. Your shoes, your belt, your socks, they don't all have. to match. It can be different. Thank God, I'm colorblind. It doesn't. Socks and sandals are more
Starting point is 00:32:44 acceptable now. Of course they are, because it's comfortable. Here's the two things that are happening right now in fashion. Number one, they're making clothes more sustainable, meaning it's cool to care about the environment. They're not making up. They still are, but they're making an effort, these companies are making an effort to not make clothes that are really expensive and you can only wear once or twice. That's what happens with a lot of people. So they're making clothes that are more generic and base. So you can wear them over and over again without feeling like, oh, and you shouldn't feel that way, wear them all you want. But some people don't want to wear them over and over again. And so, because I have social media for the most part,
Starting point is 00:33:16 but they're making clothes more sustainable. The second thing that's happening is I'm still colorblind. So when I get dressed and I don't have help, I break a lot of these rules accidentally. Yes. One final thing to bring up is a no hats indoors. People don't care about that rule anymore. Yeah, I haven't cared since sixth grade. That's when they told me. Exactly. It's more so like our grandparents' generation. So that one's starting to fade and you can wear a hat anytime. Starting to fade? Well, some people still, out of respect, take their hat off when they walk inside.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Hey, Ray, what's the date of this pile? September 21st, 2004? It's making sure. I felt like a lot of these roles have been dead for a long time. Okay, good. Yeah, like, I don't take my head off anywhere. Ray was so confused. It was like, I don't know what I'm going to do here.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I know. I was making sure what year this was. Yeah, no, it's 2021. Yeah. No, it's 22. Oh, gosh. That's why it's outdated. She's reading the one from last year?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Time is flying. Okay. All right. So last year, a bunch of Yeti coolers. And when I say a bunch, like 109 containers worth, they were on a cargo ship shipping over. And they fell off the cargo ship near Washington's Olympic Peninsula. And now they are finally washing up to shore in Alaska.
Starting point is 00:34:26 How cool would it be if you get like four coolers that floated up on the beach where you live? Yeah, because they're expensive. Oh, Yettys? They're not cheap. Yeah, that'd be pretty cool. I should be like, oh, the environment. And I am, but it was only 100. No, no, 109 containers.
Starting point is 00:34:38 No containers, dude. Oh, I thought that's a container. No, no, no. That's a lot of... There is a lot. You know what? I do feel kind of sad for the environment, but I feel even better for the people
Starting point is 00:34:48 that got those free Yetis. That's pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, and guess what? All the Yetty coolers were in excellent conditions. I bet. This is actually kind of good advertising for all the money they probably lost from that. All right, so I'm going to play you a little Zach Bryan.
Starting point is 00:35:02 To you, I'm just a man to me, you're all I am waiting. He had a show in Raleigh, North Carolina, and a college student tried to buy tickets to it, but she got scammed out of $600. Well, Zach saw the post about it on TikTok and then left tickets for her at Will Call, which I thought was a really sweet thing to do. I love when artists are paying attention to their people. Yeah, that's good. And he's a big TikTok guy.
Starting point is 00:35:25 I mean, we've been big Zach Bryan fans at our house for probably a year or so now. I like him. He puts out a lot of sad songs. I love sad songs. You do. I love. Every time I play one of a songs, I'm like, check this one out. I'm sad
Starting point is 00:35:36 All right, is that it? 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. So there's a sheriff's office in North Carolina and they get a call late at night
Starting point is 00:35:53 saying, hey, we're missing our family member. And so she was an older woman. She was described as having a cognitive disorder and that she just walked away from the family home in the middle of the night. They couldn't find her. Straight up. So the deputy, Kevin Dean, he got there with this dog, whose name was Roki, and it was pouring down rain.
Starting point is 00:36:10 And so it's just crazy what these dogs can do. They let the dog sniff some of her stuff, some of her clothes. 40 minutes, and the dog found the older lady in the woods. The fact that they can smell that, like, that strong. Or they can do anything. My dog does do anything. Like, he lays. Scratches.
Starting point is 00:36:30 He runs. He's got about seven minutes of energy a day. But he doesn't do anything with precision. Well, he has a New York bestseller, doesn't he? Yeah, and it's totally changed since that book came out too, you know? He's an author. The guy's changed completely. The woman was returned to her grateful family, and they announced on social media,
Starting point is 00:36:46 and they were like, hey, shout out Roki. She got out at Kevin Dean, they found her. You also know that's scary for the family. She just goes missing into the woods. So shout out to Roki. That's pretty cool. He deserves the extra sausage today. Yeah, a little pepperoni.
Starting point is 00:36:58 You know what, so do I. Be honest with you. Why are you? Just because I feel like an extra sausage today. Yeah, I think we all need one. All right, that's 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.
