People think that creative ideas are like these light bulb moments
that happen when you're in the shower.
It's really like a stone sculpture.
You're constantly just chipping away and refining.

This month, hear from top streamer,
Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre,

There's an economic component to communities thriving.
If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they failed.

Hey there, folks, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes here.
And we know there is a lot of news coming at you these days from the war with Iran to the ongoing Epstein fallout, government shutdowns,
profile trials, and what the hell is that Blake lively thing about anyway?
We are on it every day, all day.

What's up? Welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning Studio. Morning. All right. Let's check in with our buddy.
Let's go around the room. I didn't know if I wanted to cry or laugh when he signed my ball with Larry Bird's autograph.
It's Eddie.
Oh, man. Dude, I went in a long.
long, long time to watch this movie.
And now that I've seen it, I'm like, what a terrible movie.
What was it?
The Bling Ring.
Oh, about the people that robbed the celebrity's houses?
Yeah, we've talked about it for years.
And I'm like, ooh, it came out what?
Like in the early 2000s?
And I'm like, I'm going to watch this someday.
2013 is what it says.
Oh, yeah, 2013.
And I finally watched it the other night.
Dude, it is terrible.
The movie or what they did wasn't that interesting?
No, no, what they did is amazing.
That's why I always wanted to watch it.
I mean, they broke into so many celebrities' houses in Hollywood.
It did all kinds of stuff.
Paris Hilton's houses.
How'd they get in?
Every house had a door unlocked.
Every house.
That's how they robbed.
They would just go around and check all the doors?
They would just go and, oh, this sliding door is open.
Let's go on in.
No way.
And sometimes they wouldn't even steal.
They would just hang out in the house and act like they were the celebrity.
I mean, the story is unbelievable.
But the movie was just them doing it over and over and over.
There was no cops at all.
There was no, like, that scene where the investigators were like,
hey, what do we have here?
Like, do we know who it is?
Nothing like that.
It was just them going to every house
doing what they do.
Terrible movie.
Terrible movie.
Crazy story.
Dude, it's crazy.
And I think there's a new documentary.
That's what I was going to say,
did you watch a movie or was it a documentary?
No, this is the original movie that they made with Emma Tom's.
Yeah, I don't know, dude.
Emma Watson's in it.
But I won't be watching it.
Don't watch.
It's a waste of time.
Next up, the sale of the pallet items will most likely never be complete,
but we were impressed that he put some of them in a spreadsheet.
Lunchbox!
When you go to a concert, it's your decision.
Stand up, sit down, whatever you want to do.
The artist should not be up on stage scolding you.
And Madonna found out the hard way.
Oh, I saw this.
She is in the middle of her concert and some woman is sitting down.
And Madonna starts going, why are you sitting down?
There you go.
She was in a wheelchair.
She was in a wheelchair. This is terrible.
Madonna.
She said, sorry about that.
Yeah.
politically incorrect.
Oh my goodness.
That is so, like, she has a choice to sit down anyway.
Like, she doesn't have to stand up.
Yeah.
And then they'd point at her, and then everybody's going, wheelchair, wheelchair.
She's like, uh, politically incorrect.
That is cringe for sure.
I saw the headline and the video started playing.
I couldn't watch the video.
I was terrible.
It made me discrins to that.
Well, then she just goes back to her concert.
Yeah, what do you do?
All right, next up, Dr.
Lori appraised her Madam Alexander dolls and find out they're worth some money, but some of them were missing limbs, which made it pretty funny.
It's Amy!
So I was in a meeting the other day, and I had a headache, and it was kind of like one of the headaches that's like all the way around your head.
And I guess it's called a tension headache because one of the girls there was like, oh, yeah, I get tension headaches sometimes.
And I didn't have any pain reliever.
So she said put a pencil between a hoof like that.
Yeah.
And that just like kind of keep it there gently.
You don't like bite down super hard, but that it should eventually, like, give some relief.
Is it because you're giving light tension to the tension?
I don't understand.
Yeah, so I googled it later because I was like, wait, what is behind this?
And according to doctors, gripping a pencil between your teeth can potentially relieve the tension in the head.
You just have to simply put it there, not bite down, and it'll relax the jaw.
So it'll stop sending spasms of stress and tension to the head.
If you use your finger.
Oh, that'll hurt.
Well, that way you don't bite all the way down.
But it would look weird in a meeting.
Yeah.
But yeah, you can kind of have a pencil on your mouth during a meeting.
But I just thought, well, I don't know if it worked because it was really relaxing me or placebo effect.
Because I thought it was going to work.
It started to work.
Either way, I'll take it.
Put a pencil.
What about a pen?
It doesn't matter.
I'm sure it's whatever you have.
Got it.
Just making sure.
All right.
Ramon, go ahead.
From Mountain Pine, Arkansas.
He's a great tipper all the time.
So usually the waiters get in line.
Bobby Bones.
Thank you.
Hey, question.
When is too old?
Honestly, to wear.
Jordans.
Never?
Never.
Okay, if that's the answer, that's fine.
I did a speaking
engagement last week
and I have on one of my favorite pair of Jordans.
There are ones,
and someone's like, hey, dude, you're too old to wear Jordans.
Who said that?
Somebody on Instagram.
So I just really was wondering, like, at what age
is too old to wear Jordans?
Maybe there isn't one.
Because I feel like those are casual
dress shoes. They're clean. I don't wear them
often. But they are tennis shoes,
but I would never play ball in them because they're not really made for
that.
Too old for Jordans at what age?
I feel like you'd be 70 and wear them.
Yes.
There are no restrictions to what you wear.
Well, sometimes.
I mean, I think there are certain things people wear.
You're like,
bathing suits, got it.
No, but I mean, let's say,
I don't know, what's something that kids would wear now?
A hoodie?
You can wear that when you're night?
Or a jersey.
Wear a jersey when you're a nighty.
I think you wear whatever too,
but I'm saying generally when the public would start to judge you.
Dude, you do you, man.
You look good in your Jordans.
I'm going to anyway.
I'm just saying, I didn't.
Great question.
I didn't think there was a, on those shoes specifically,
I didn't think there was a max age.
I thought they're kind of universal.
And what are,
you're about to be 44?
Yeah.
Yeah, DJ College, isn't he the one
that has to get carried because of his Jordans?
Yeah, but he's also.
He's 48.
Just saying he's still rocking him.
I hear you.
Okay, well, I feel good then.
Morgan, what do you think?
You're the youngest.
No, I don't think you're ever too old for Jordans.
Those are like a classic shoe to me.
They're a tennis shoe.
See, I feel that way, too.
They're a classic shoe.
Yeah.
I guess if I were wearing,
uh-oh.
Like something you.
Newer?
Not even newer tennis shoe, but there are certain dress shoes that are, you need to kind of be in your 20s to wear.
Like what?
Really loud, like, prodda type shoe.
You're just like, nah, you're too old for that.
Oh, really?
I think so.
Oh.
Because there are definitely clothes that older people shouldn't wear that young people do wear.
What about, like, tall black boots?
Like, for women.
You think they can wear those?
No, as long as you got the body to go with it, we're good.
So it's only body specific.
Yeah.
Do you have the body for Jordans?
I have no idea.
Okay, just ask him.
Let's open up the mailbag.
You send the email and we read it on the air.
It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
My husband and I used to smoke and more than a few years ago, we switched to vaping and
then eventually quit together.
Recently, he started vaping again.
It's driving me nuts.
He's constantly puffing on his vape like it's attached to his hand.
There's a permanent cloud of vapor in our living room.
It's getting him a last nerve.
I'm trying to be understanding because I do understand.
stand a bit. But I don't want to be that nagging wife, but I also didn't sign up for living
in a 24-7 vape shop. How do I bring this up without causing a huge fight? Should I just ask him
to take it outside or address the whole bad habit? Signed wife of a vapor. Yeah, that's tough.
I'm going to go to lunchbox first on this one. Lunchbox, your thoughts.
Ha, man, listen, let him, let the vape, like just, you're married, so vape it out.
Okay.
you know what I mean like you're not going to divorce him over it
yet right
is that divorce worthy
probably not just that but I guess if it
it's kind of the gateway into just being like
I screw it I'm gonna do what I want but you're right
you're not gonna divorce from it right
okay let the vape he says Eddie
I think eventually he'll get to the point where like he's gonna quit
vaping you just have to let him get there oh so exhaust him of vaping
well no I mean she was a vapor so she understands
So was he, they quit.
I know, but I'm telling you, once he kind of feels isolated,
it's like those smokers that, like,
I started smoking to hang out with people in the balcony,
and now no one smokes, so I'm up here by myself.
I think eventually he'll get to the point where, like,
I should probably stop vaping.
It could be six months, it could be a year,
it can be four years, but eventually he will stop.
But part of her issue is the house smells and looks like vape all the time.
Yeah, but she was a part of that too.
So what was, was.
And they agreed together.
Okay, I hear you.
That is your opinion.
That is my opinion.
Amy?
I think you can absolutely set boundaries around this.
Like this is something that, you know, if someone wants to, I don't know, what's one of like another habit?
Like they're, maybe y'all.
Oh, dip.
Okay, dip.
Even, that's still going to be annoying, but you don't smell that.
I mean, I guess if you have to kiss them and stuff or you find dip cups around the house.
These are things that are, can be gross and disruptive.
But if someone's like, you're addicted to the, well, no, you're not.
No, you're not.
You're not addicted to the game thing that you do on TikTok?
Not addicted.
You're not yet.
Not addicted.
Okay.
Well, so there's some things people do.
I'm addicted.
I'm addicted.
I'm addicted.
It doesn't disrupt the house.
But your game doesn't make the house smell.
And it's not, you know, whatever.
This is something where she absolutely has every right to set a boundary.
And I think in a calm way, she could also share with him some of the side effects.
Oh, don't do that.
Like all the pictures and stuff.
Oh, gosh.
Don't be.
When I caught, whenever I caught, I didn't even catch, I did not know that my husband dipped at all.
When we were first married, he was a pilot in the Air Force, and I was cleaning his flight suit, and I found a can of dip.
And I thought, well, who's this this?
Somebody left their dip in my husband's pants.
In his flight suit.
And come to find out, a lot of pilots in the Air Force were dipping because he did it to stay awake.
But he did it all the time.
and so I printed out pictures of people missing half their face because they got like jaw cancer or something.
And it didn't help, but.
You know why I don't think it helped, honestly?
It didn't.
I'm not recommending you do that.
No, no, that's not bad for like a kid, maybe.
I was 26, 27 years old.
But I would think that he as an adult fully formed brain would go, I know that that's a really severe example of the worst case.
And odds are, if I dip forever, it's still not going to be that.
Because what you're doing showing the worst case.
Yes.
Yeah.
But I like it.
That's a good approach.
I think with a kid, that's a good approach.
Here was also the big mistake.
He was like Special Forces Air Force.
I think that in their mind, they're like, do you know what we do on a regular basis?
And you're going to like show me half of the face.
I'm not worried about my dog.
They see half face people.
I'm, well, or just like this is not the scariest thing I do.
Like I do far more difficult things.
And I'm like, okay, fine, use the dip to stay awake.
She starts tipping with them.
Okay, so here's what I would say.
I don't think you're going to convince him.
to not vape, right?
Because he's just going to hide it from you otherwise.
What I would say, and I wouldn't even say rule,
but the boundary that I would negotiate is,
I'm not going to vape, we quit.
I would love if you didn't vape,
but I'm not going to tell you not to
because I know for some reason, stress, whatever, you're vaping.
But you have to do it outside
because it makes our house smell bad
and I'm embarrassed when people come over.
Like for that reason.
And I think that's probably where you can go
and that he will go and be annoyed at first.
I pay for the house too.
but I don't think that's too much to ask because it's not just about him.
It's not just about you.
It's about what your house looks like.
Also, I would still ask him at times, could you vape a little less?
Don't nag, but I think if you could express that in a way that doesn't make him defensive,
I think that would worry.
You may never get him to quit vaping, but at least the one positive step is outside.
And then maybe he gets so annoyed having to go outside, especially in the winter,
that he's like, I'm not vaping for a while.
Then he's done.
But I think that's probably your best step.
You could come up with other fun activities to do together to take his mind off vaping.
Activities?
Yeah, doing it.
It's about it.
Yeah, it's about it.
I was like, hey, I'm going to vape.
Oh.
Or you do this.
Yes.
All right, that's the nail bag.
Thank you very much.
Close it up.
We got your email.
Found the clothes.
Bobby Mailbag.
Eddie, what's up?
Yeah, we got an email at work.
Somebody in the building said that there's been a car in the garage parked for over a week and
it needs to be moved.
And they described the car.
a Nissan. So I'm like, oh my gosh. Lunchbox. A Nissan car. A Nissan car. The Ultima broke down.
And now Lunchbox has abandoned his car in the parking garage. Your car doing okay, Lanchie?
Car's great. Eddie's just trying to create. It's clickbait Eddie right now.
Did you not see the email? Yeah, it said the exact type of car. It was like a Nissan ZR something.
Oh, his ain't a ZR, dude. Oh, what is ZR? They nice. It just sounds. Yeah, it has a, it has a, like a cover over it.
like they're storing it for months, like without running it.
So, I mean, it had all the description in there.
So Eddie was just trying to get something, you know, like needed something.
He's like, I'll just write this up.
But no, the ultimate's good, man.
Don't act like we, like people.
I got clickbait from lunchbox too.
Don't worry.
Oh, okay.
Well, don't act like Ray left his car down there forever.
They had to tell him like, hey, man, that's got to go.
True.
Right, right.
But they gave you the exact type of car it was.
I didn't see the description.
I just on Nissan.
Let's do this.
I want to read to you guys bits that I know you guys have sent as just like clickbait.
and Ray's the original clickbait
Ray.
So clickbait.
This one's from Lunchbox.
Uh-oh.
He wants to talk about how he's beefing with a country artist.
Complete clickbait.
Go ahead, lunch.
I mean, I am beefing with an artist.
Miranda Lambert, because I walk in the office the other day,
and there's two brand new pair of boots.
And one is to Bobby and one is to Caitlin.
And it says, thank you so much for your on-air support of,
the much strut sale that I have every year.
And I'm like, what?
Caitlin has nothing to do with that.
She doesn't come on here and promote it.
She doesn't have anything to do with this show.
I know she's Bobby's wife,
but she is not the one that helps do that.
So I'm going to say there's no way in the world he'd really be mad about this.
This is just him wanting to.
No, no.
If you're going to get free boots to people that promote it.
It's not free boots.
We donated money to.
We're part of the show.
No, we also donated money as well.
So by support she means money support.
We put her on the air, yes.
And then we also denote in money.
We often donate to Miranda's cause.
And I think even he probably thought that a bit.
No, I did not know that.
Okay, but it's this clickbait lunchbox going,
I'm beefing with an artist.
Yes.
Because I was annoyed.
I was like, what did she do to promote the thing?
Like, I'm not to be rude, but you're the one that promoted it.
You never do not to be rude.
So this is how we know you're clickbaiting.
Never in your life if you said not to be rude.
I was frustrated.
I was like, man, why does this?
Caitlin get a free pair of boots for doing nothing.
Here's what it says. It's a card for Miranda.
Bobby, thanks for always
talking about Mut Nation and also for your
support on the rescue. Here's the best Miranda.
Yeah, always talking about it. Caitlin doesn't
talk about it. We donated money
too. That's what I'm telling you.
Well, now it didn't say anything about
thanks for the money donation. I didn't know that.
Who says that? It doesn't say thanks for the money
donation. The dollar amount.
Yes. Okay, well.
Yeah, and here, let me tell you the article, Eddie,
the email was said, Black,
Nissan 370Z.
That was the title of the email.
For sure, clickbait from Eddie, too, but you're the same.
Okay, I got boots from Miranda.
And look, sign.
Wow.
This is your size?
I'm not going to wear them.
These are her boots.
And plus she did say that she was going to send those.
Yeah, I asked to say, would you sign them?
Yeah, but to both of them, that's what I'm saying.
What sign?
When it says, thank you for the support on air.
Hold on.
Now Amy's trying to steal my boots.
They're cute.
I had Miranda sign them.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Those were hers right when she, like, emptied out her closet.
Hey, these are game-worn Miranda boots.
Yeah.
Like ballplayers, like game sign LeBron's.
Oh, I just started opening Caitlin's, and I probably shouldn't have done that.
That's Caitlin's, man.
I'll just tell her it came open.
All right, Caitlin's.
Oh, man, those are cool.
Oh, cute.
Caitlin will like them, and these are not signed, so I can't keep on.
Oh, yeah, those are real cute.
They're denim boots.
Did lunchbox want those?
I don't understand.
I would like a free pair of boots.
I don't know.
They're her in the box.
You know they're her boots.
If you remember the shoe that, the show that we did with her,
it's all her boots that she had in her closet that she's worn.
Correct.
Oh, I thought they were like for you to wear.
Clickbait.
Click bait.
Done.
No, no, guys.
So both do you guys, I get it?
I literally had no idea.
I just saw brand new boots, two brand new boxes.
And I was like, well, okay.
I don't understand why.
You didn't even ask any question.
So thank you, Clickbait, Eddie.
Well, part of my.
Who would I ask?
Miranda and me and her were beefing, so I couldn't ask her at that point.
Go ahead.
Part of my clickbait is that I have a solution for lunchbox in his car,
but you guys will never ask what that is.
What is it?
It's a huge solution.
What is it?
I got a buddy of mine who opened a car garage,
and he turns old cars into electric cars.
So he said,
Would you want to spend the money on that to make an electric car, though?
I don't know.
If he wants the Ultima to run for the rest of his life,
this now can run for the next 20 years.
That's cool.
Electric Ultima.
It'll be one of one of the ones.
Electrauma.
Exactly.
Lunchbox, you interested?
If he's going to do it for free?
Of course, yeah.
Why would it be free?
Well, he might for...
Well, I mean, the dealers, the Nissan,
they told me they could get me a new engine for $8,000,
but I mean, that's not...
Once the engine goes out, the spark plug is going to go out,
the car rate is going to go out.
I'm click-baited out.
Thank you guys for both trying to get something on the air,
and you guys weren't even that upset or...
I was not happy.
I was not going to listen anymore, Miranda.
We weren't going to play it on the show.
She came on the show and the interview you were on part of.
you were there.
Yeah, yeah, but that was the last one she was going to be on.
Oh, you were getting a banner from the show?
Yep, because I was upset about being treated that way.
But now that I know you donated money, I really don't have an argument because I didn't donate money.
I thank you.
Thank you, clickbaiters.
No problem.
All right.
Mike, we should start keeping track of all the crap they send us.
It's just a clickbait segment.
It's every day.
It's every day.
That's not so much from Amy.
Honestly, not so much from Amy.
But between all the rest of you guys, it's like, you sit home.
You're like, man, I really wish I could contribute to the show.
How about this?
I saw the light today.
I thought it might have died.
How do you angle it, though?
It turns out.
It turns out.
Eddie's light flicker.
I turned it on and the light bulb went out.
Well, they are inspiring me.
To think of better headlines.
Thank you.
This stupid.
You guys are still loved, but this was stupid here.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tango's been a good dog, but he's terminally ill.
He's in a hospice.
And he's being cared for by people.
that take care of older dogs
and that part of it sucks.
But the house where Tango is staying,
there was a burglary attempt
and Tango went Toby Keith,
which is,
I'm not as good as I once was.
Oh, yeah.
But I'm as good once as I ever was.
He was older.
And Tango, who doesn't have a lot of energy,
got up and went crazy barking.
So the homeowners were like,
that doesn't sound normal of Tango.
And the burglar wasn't
all the way in the house yet.
He had just like,
and so they came down.
And Tango saved them.
And luckily the burglar didn't like a tag.
The burglar ran off.
So that's awesome.
It's the Golden Paul Hospice Foster Program,
which people will take care of these dogs.
And Tango saved the house.
Golden Paul.
Yeah, I know.
That's cute.
Man, big shout out, Tango.
Yeah, man.
They say, like, get a dog because just the bark alone
could really, like, save your house.
Is that case, you just get a sound machine.
Roe, rah, rah, right.
True.
Tango, big shout out.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.
I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation.
There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.
We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.
Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.
It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.
This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.
If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what?
Today now, obviously, it's like 100%.
They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job.
There's an economic component to communities thriving.
If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.
They cannot feed their kids.
They do not have homes.
Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.
Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Hey there, folks, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes here.
And we know there is a lot of news.
coming at you these days from the war with Iran to the ongoing Epstein fallout, government shutdowns,
high-profile trials, and what the hell is that Blake lively thing about anyway?
We are on it every day, all day.
Follow us, Amy and TJ for news updates throughout the day.

On the Bobby Bones Show now.
Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank.
Barbara, good to talk to you. Thank you for spending some time with us.
My pleasure, Bobby.
We just had a deal on the show. We had a PhD in education come in and she tested a lot of us for dyslexia.
And it was a pretty emotional show because you're talking about four adults.
And two of the four, and again, it wasn't so much a bit as it was a learning experience on the air that ended up being a compelling segment.
But two of the four needed to have what she said was an intermission for dyslexia.
Because Eddie on our show, he was like, I think I might be dyslexic.
just never had it ever diagnosed as a kid. So she was a PhD in education and she said, I'll come up
and test you guys what I do with kids usually. And so two of the four of us were diagnosed with
dyslexia. Do you have dyslexia? Of course. But you know, most people find out they have dyslexia.
When they have children and it's diagnosed in their own children, they recognize themselves. But until
they recognize it in themselves as adults, they think they're stupid. That's a damage that's done by
dyslexia. Nobody's as enlightened or told that it doesn't mean you're stupid. It just means you have a
different way of learning. And I'm glad you said that because Amy, who's my co-host here, whenever she
found out and she started to see that some of these things that were seemingly easy to others
were a struggle to her, not because she didn't know something. It's how she was interpreting it.
She started to get emotional and cry because she felt like what you weren't. I think, well,
it was, there was several layers to it. Some of it was vulnerable doing it on air and like,
feeling exposed in a way, but also relief because I'm like, oh, okay, there's,
explain a lot in your life.
Yeah, like this makes sense.
Now I get why high school, college, even, you know, going back junior high, is such a
struggle for me.
And I did have a narrative, Barbara, that I was, yeah, stupid.
I mean, there was just times where I thought, well, you know, this is my story in my head
and it would loop over and over, even though I would try to do therapy and fight it.
But now there's an explanation.
and now hopefully I can do something about it.
How was that for you when you found out you were dyslexic?
Well, initially, when I found out I was dyslexic, I was relieved officially,
but I knew I was dyslexic as a kid, or at least I knew I was dumb as a kid.
But let me tell you something.
It wasn't until I was older that I realized what an advantage it was.
It was an advantage being in school early and being made fun up.
It was an advantage being rejected and getting over it.
It was an advantage of being different than other kids and being okay as an outsider that you didn't fit in.
And it was an advantage in growing you up really fast.
But fortunately, I had a secret weapon, which was my mom who told me, you can't read, don't worry about it.
But you have a wonderful imagination and you'll fill in all the blanks.
And she was right.
I mean, she built up the part of me that was the gift of dyslexia, my imagination, which is definitely a gift.
And with that, I was able to really create ideas, businesses, people, see things differently than other people.
You know, you have so many gifts as a dyslexic adult, especially if you're building a business,
because you can recognize talented people.
You have more empathy in people.
You know how to read a situation because you're intuitive, much more than the average learner.
There's so many advantages.
And you're accustomed to being an outsider.
And in business, that turns into an innovator, which has been my greatest gift.
Which I'm so thankful that you're on with us today.
because we just had this.
We had a lot of parents that were listening
where they're having to address this with their kids.
I got to ask you what question she asked.
So they did, it was like a four part.
It took us a while.
It took us a whole hour.
She would,
one of the parts was there was an entire sheet
and there were like 200 letters and numbers,
but some of them were just backward.
And you had to go through you had 90 seconds
to circle as many that were backward as possible.
And so that was a part of it.
There was a reading of the words.
That was a reading part of different words.
That was embarrassing.
That's the worst.
That's the,
That's when I cried, Barbara.
Yeah, that's when she cried.
You should cry because it runs so deep, that sort.
And so many parents, you know, I'm glad you're here because you're wildly successful.
And you're someone who was dyslexic and found the advantage to it because you did have to
approach things differently and in a way that other people hadn't.
And when you pave a new way, that's often what leads to success.
Yeah.
If you're dyslexic, the right field for you to go in is to be an entrepreneur.
or my businesses that I've invested in on Shark Tank, I always look for the losers.
The losers as kids, the kids that got judged hard by their parents or teachers and didn't
think they were going to go anywhere.
If I get a loser in my portfolio, they always become the winners.
They try hard.
They have something to prove.
It's their forte.
They're out in the real world.
They get specialized in one thing and they do it better than anybody else.
Dyslex is all the way to go if you want to make money and business.
In entrepreneurship, that is.
In a corporate environment, forget about it.
You don't get promoted.
You have to learn like other people.
I want to talk about Barbara in your pocket because it's so cool.
And it's, you know, my wife subscribes to a few different people on Patreon.
And so you're doing Barbara in your pocket on Patreon.
So people can actually come on as part of it and do live Q&As with you.
Of course.
You know why it's so important?
Because entrepreneurs with them starting out, they might look like they know what they're doing.
They start out that way.
but in shorter they start doubting themselves.
What I think you need more than the actual hardcore business advice,
like how to get the money, how to manage your cash flow,
how to manage your day, all those topics I address.
But you know the one I address the most is how do you believe in yourself?
How do you feel like you're entitled to be rich?
You're entitled to make something of yourself.
You're entitled to show off and say, look what I've done.
And it comes harder women, even than men,
but everybody struggles with that.
Entrepreneurs need a lot of help.
And usually they start out of you.
has a party of one.
They don't have a sounding board.
Their doubts are quiet.
They don't want to bring them up and they don't want to admit failure and they don't like
to ask for help.
I shove my help at them, try to anticipate what they're going to do, listen to their question
and really read behind the question and give them the right answer that they can move forward.
I think it's so essential.
You know, not everybody has a mentor.
I'm a good mentor.
I know how to build businesses and it's easy for me to rip off and tell them what they ought to be doing.
the really good ones always listen and execute right away.
I'm just crazy about it.
I think it makes a big difference.
You guys can go to Barbara In Your Pocket.com,
and she has this Patreon community that you can subscribe to.
With Shark Tank in it, I mean, season 15,
do you ever feel like I just invested in a whole lot of businesses?
I'm good.
But you got to go back and do the show.
You have to remember the good businesses that you invested in.
The ones that didn't make it, you're right, right off.
You know what I have in my office?
I have all the pictures of every entrepreneur I ever invested in.
And when I don't think they have the talent or they're a victim and feel sorry for themselves,
I see that in the progress along the way or lack of progress, I turn that picture upside down.
So I always know when somebody's calling me and wants me immediately, I look at the wall and see,
are they upside down when I forget.
And I talk to the people that are right side up because they are my winners.
Amy has a question for you that she was nervous about asking.
I don't know what the question is going to be.
Amy is nervous, I doubt it.
Yes, she is nervous because she has a vulnerable question.
but you can have it if you want to ask it.
Oh, yeah.
No, typically I'm not to speak on anything,
but I was married for 17 years and got a divorce last year.
I never handled finances in our marriage at all whatsoever.
I didn't even know how to log into our bank account.
It's not proud of that.
But I obviously the last several months have had no choice but to get heavily involved.
And we have two kids.
I wanted to stay put in the house that we're in.
But, you know, the real estate market got a little crazy.
and our house went up a significant amount.
So I was buying him out of our house at the highest amount possible to have gone.
Yeah, it was horrible timing, actually, especially for what we bought it for.
So, yay him.
But I'm the one that chose to stay there.
And then, you know, he went and bought a different house.
So this is just us splitting at 50-50, but I took out a he lock to get the cash to do that.
And because I wasn't involved and I wasn't paying attention, I just kind of,
I thought, oh, well, I need a lot of cash.
I'll do this.
And it was at 8%.
And now that I'm involved, Barbara, I am sitting down and I'm looking at numbers.
And in my mind, for months, I have been paying towards this HELOC.
But because it's 8%, I realized it hasn't budged at all.
So I've been paying towards the interest.
And I don't, I feel, I don't know if I just was doing what I needed to do to survive at the
moment or if there's another road for me or what I should do or if you have any advice on how to
get it down.
Just a different way of looking at it.
Ten years from now, you're going to look at yourself and say, thank God, I bought the
house because you're looking at value now, what it was in the past.
Your memory is your deficit.
It can't help it to measure against what's come before.
Gets in the way of me investing in property.
I think, gee, I should have gotten that building last year for a hundred, you know, a million
and a half dollars and now I have to pay two million. Why would I want to do that? The new kid on the
block comes in and pays a two million and makes a fortune five, ten years from now when it's worth
seven million. You know, so your deficit is that you're remembering, comparing it to what you bought
before. But in 10 years, five years, that housing market is going to go crazy across the board and you'll
be making more money. About the interest rates and not paying down your principal so well, that's the
way loans work. They hardly pay down the principal for the first five years. You're killing you
it's mostly interest you're paying. You can't change that. And you're only paying 1% more than the
current market. Can you refinance it? 1% makes about a 10% difference in your monthly payment.
Would that make a life change for you? You might be obsessing over something that isn't as important
as you think it is. What do you say about that? Oh, I feel a lot of comfort hearing you say that.
because I think now that I just new to getting involved.
And I'm thankful that my mortgage in this HELOC is,
it's my only debt at the moment.
So I'm just going to take your advice.
Yeah, and I can.
So, yeah, thank you for that.
That's comforting to hear like I don't need to obsess over it.
But I am proud of myself for being involved.
Next time you get married, make sure you do a pre-nup.
And if you forget about it, then do a post-up after you get married.
That's very important for women.
Or doing both, Amy.
You should do them both.
A post and a post-n-up is a thing?
Yeah, it's post-nup shules.
I get it.
Oh, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I just never heard of anybody doing a post-nup.
Barbara does one every week.
I knew one.
Everybody was just.
Eddie, you have a question for Barbara.
I do.
I do.
Barbara, so I have a smoking chicken business called producer Eddie's smoking hot chicken.
And by business...
Cool name.
Thank you.
See?
She likes it.
And by business, I mean, I just kind of make a really, really good smoke chickens.
Sell it to my friends and family.
basically. I want to turn this in a hobby and a business maybe, huh?
Totally. Yes. And I want to make this into a legit business. But everyone I talk to is like,
man, food is really dangerous. Like it's just really risky to go in on food. What is your opinion
on going into a food business? Oh, listen, my best investments are all food businesses. A,
I love the individuals that run them because they're usually carrying people that want to feed people.
They're nice people. And they just do business well and have people.
respond well to them so forget about a food business being a bad business they're
profitable I think the hard thing is going to be from you to move from your family
and friends figure out your cost your heart cost really well your shipping
costs figuring how to get online figuring how to advertise it which eats away at
your profit but if you can figure that model out why not try it what do you want to
do you want to be an old guy 10 years from now and you want to say I wish I should
have could have no you want to try it and push it as fast as you can I mean
it's a good name.
If it's a good recipe,
other people are going to like it.
Unless all your family and friends are lying to you.
Are they lying?
I don't think so.
No, that's good.
That's good.
It's good.
All right.
Go for it.
Three final questions for Barbara Corkeran,
which, by the way, go to Barbara in your pocket.com,
and you can see all about her new Patreon community
where you can do live Q&As with her and so much more.
Lunchbox, a question for Barbara Corkren from Shark Tank?
Yeah, so there's businesses you pass on on the show.
Are you allowed to outside of the show to keep following them
and then approach them later if you say, you know what, I made a mistake and go after that business?
It's a great theory, but let me tell you, the minute that door closes and that business is out the door,
I never think about them again.
I mean, there was one business in season one, believe it not, that has stuck with me,
but the people have long passed away, which I did pursue after the fact.
It was two old people having underwear lined with charcoal that if they had gas, you couldn't smell the gas.
I thought, what a stupid business, but it's haunted me for years thinking, gee, that's a great business.
Who wants to be smelly all the time?
But those people are long gone.
That's the only one, I swear.
Usually gone, they're gone.
There's so much on Shark Tank.
So many businesses walk through the door.
So many new opportunities that you can't really regret anything that you've passed on.
Final two questions for you, Barbara.
With Mark Cuban leaving, how do you feel about that?
And how is it going to affect the show?
Brokenhearted.
He's big shoes to fill.
They're going to really have to hunt to get somebody to fill his shoes.
Mark, if you realize it has so much going for him, number one, he's got a billion dollars.
The rest of some millionaires, having a billion dollars means he buys a lot more businesses,
a lot more activity.
That's one.
He's got a big personality.
He's a lovely man.
What you see is what you get.
He's sincere when he works with businesses.
He really helps him.
Mark is golden.
I wish I hadn't married him, but he was already married.
because I could still have my hoax in the guy.
I sit next to Mark.
He does all my math.
That's very helpful.
As a dyslexic, I can't add things up.
I say, hey, Mark, tell me, how's this?
What percentage is this?
And he always does my math for me.
No, I'm going to miss him dearly.
But the show will go on,
but it's not going to be an easy time replacing Mark Cuban.
Final question for you, Barbara.
And by the way, everybody, check out Shark Tank Friday's nationwide ABC at 8-7 Central.
And again, Barbara In Your Pocket.com,
which is a Patreon community with exclusive content
and exclusive access to Barbara Corcoran.
My question would be with you and your organization,
how many unread texts and emails
do you have currently,
and do you have a rule about unreading them all by a certain point?
Before I go to bed at night, I'm one of these phobic people.
I have to read everything.
I just can't go to bed without answering stuff.
So I read hundreds and hundreds,
but I'm really good at it with my one-figure typing,
and I've learned how to have short responses.
And do you have 40 or 50?
by the way.
Just red dotted throughout the day.
Like on your email right now,
well, there'll be 100 right now
if you don't check it for an hour or a thousand.
Oh, I don't have my phone here,
but I would say 30 maybe, I'm guessing.
That's almost noontime, right?
30.
That's not so bad, right?
That's not a lot of span.
Yeah, mostly it's all spam for me.
I have so many blocks in place, really.
Okay?
I just thought of a bonus question.
It might be something like you would see on Barbara in your pocket.
And it's an idea that just popped in my head
about my loan, Bobby.
because the bank is 8%
do you want to loan me the money at
3%
you ask him Bobby I can tell
looking at him he's cheap he's not going to give you the money
I give it to you at 7.5
well but how do you feel about friends loaning
friends money that idea
you know you have to do you have to decide what's
more important getting the money the discount
the deal or
losing a friend in my mind
losing a friend takes a lot more energy
to replace them if ever you really
do it than losing money. I lose money any day. The biggest problem I have being an individual
that's positioned as someone with a lot of money is everybody's got a $10,000 problem every day of the
week. You know, I used to loan people money all the time. Now if I have a family or friend or some
relation in some way wants $10,000, I give it as a gift because I do not want to lose the friend.
When you lend money to a friend, what happens is the equation is off balance. You know,
you're the superior person who did the lending and the person who got the money as nice as they are
they'll resent it it ruins the friendship i've never seen it succeed all right barbara thank you everybody
check out uh barbara in your pocket dot com bye barbara let's do some dude news yeah let's go dudes

Eddie Dude News.
So in New Orleans, the cops department, the police where they keep all the narcotics,
that they seized, they had a bunch of marijuana in there.
Somebody broke in.
They tampered with the evidence.
There's a bunch of marijuana missing.
They looked at the surveillance camera.
What did they find?
A bunch of rats.
The rats went in there.
Taking the drugs.
Dude, they started eating all the marijuana.
And they found out, they heard Bob Marley playing in the middle of the night.
No, that's not true.
But the rats part's true.
Yeah, dude.
They're all like, hey, man, what's good?
That's pretty cool.
Finally, on my dude news.
Let's talk about sports and money.
Let's talk about one guy that has made $411 million.
Oh.
Playing quarterback.
Kurt Cousins just signed with a different team.
He's been with the Redskins at the time.
Yeah, yeah.
And then he signed with the Vikings,
and he just signed with the Falcons.
And he's only won one playoff game ever,
but he's made almost half a billion dollars.
That's awesome.
It's like that guy we saw in Vegas, who was it, the backup quarterback?
Chase Daniel.
Oh, who's made a ton of money.
He started like two games in his career.
He's only played a couple of games in his career.
He's made so much money.
He's retired now, but, man.
In 2016, so his first deal was a standard rookie deal coming out.
So he's made like $2, $3 million a year.
But in 2016, he made $19 million.
2017, he made $23 million.
2018, $84 million on a three-year deal.
Then $66 million, then $35 million.
And this one's $180 million deal.
That's so much money.
I'm doing the wrong job.
That you couldn't do that job.
He's won one playoff game.
Yeah.
And he's coming off an injury.
Yeah, he gets beat up a lot.
But $411 million through the end of this next contract.
That is crazy.
Dude news.
New news.
Brought you by the dudes state in South Dakota.
I send that to him.
I don't even know they want us saying that.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I've not talked to anybody from the visitor bureau of South Dakota.
I bet you there are a bunch of cool dudes in South Dakota.
Or they could be like, off jigs.
I don't know.
That's true.
Good news.
Thank you.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
So Norma Hernandez, she has cancer and she was upset that she wasn't able to get her nails done before she had to go into the hospital.
Which I can understand that feeling.
I feel like when my mom was in the hospital fighting cancer, a lot of times she wanted to look good, you know, look good, feel good, feel good, you know.
So she didn't get her nails done.
A local nail salon heard about it in Lubbock called Absolute Nails,
and they showed up at the hospital to give her a complimentary manicure.
That's awesome.
And it's about so much more than the complimentary manicure.
It's about it.
It's about it to take part of their day to go help her.
And I'm sure it made her feel so much better and cared for.
That's a great story.
See, you don't have to be a millionaire to affect people's lives.
And shout out in Lubbock.
What's her name?
What's her name?
Well, her name is Norma, but Absolute Nails.
Absolutely nails. Put up my calendar next time in Lubbock.
Getting nails done.
Yeah.
And then shout out to Norm's friend Debbie because that's how absolute nails heard about it.
She was calling around a different salon to see who could possibly come up to the hospital to help.
Shout out to everybody, you know?
Yeah.
That's it.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
You can have opinions.
You can have like a strong stance.
And then there's your body having its own program.
I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast a slight change of plans,
a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation.
There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.
We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.
Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.
It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.
This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and Venture Capitalist.
Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.
If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures,
it's like, what?
Today now, obviously, it's like 100%.
They believe everything.
But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.
There's an economic component to community striving.
If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food.
They cannot feed their kids.
They do not have homes.
communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.
Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

It's a big day for all of us. Big day for Amy. Today is the 10-year anniversary of the morning corny.
Amy, congratulations. So what I have here, let's count them down.
Number five. So listen to this. These are my favorite morning corny's of all time, Amy. Here we go.
Why do cows never have any money? Why do cows never have any money?
farmers milk them dry.
That was the morning corny.
That's got to be where to say.
Amy's pulling air udders in the air to show me what she means.
No, I get it.
No, no, no, no.
But there's a saying like, oh.
No, I get every part of it.
Hey, hey, they milked me dry of my money.
And it's like, that's where.
I thought it was funny.
Just because I don't guff all and laughter
doesn't mean I don't like it.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
It's fine.
That's good.
Good.
It's a hard segment for you to do every day
because sometimes you just can't win.
Every day.
Every day.
Every day for 10 years we've been doing this.
Let's go to the next one.
Number four.
The morning corny.
What happened when the computer fell on the floor?
What?
It slipped its disc.
Okay, okay.
Here we go.
Next one.
Number three.
Two artists went one-on-one in a contest.
It ended in a draw.
Get it?
A draw.
It's kind of funny.
Artist.
You clapped.
That was the morning corny.
She was selling it hard with that.
A clap.
That's pretty funny.
I do like that one.
Okay, here we go.
Number two.
When does bread rise?
When does bread rise?
When you yeast expected.
That was the morning corny.
That's funny.
That's pretty funny.
That was one of Eddie's favorites over the year.
I still like that one.
This is one of LB's favorites.
This is, by the way, our number one morning corny over 10 years
because of social on air with the staff.
It gets the number one rating, Amy.
Here we go.
The morning corny.
I just realized this might be after dark.
Then I probably wouldn't do it, but you can try it.
We'll beep it for you too.
Right, put your finger on the beat button.
What do skinny gene?
Okay, for sure, get your finger on the beep button.
Ray, go ahead.
Do it.
Run with it.
Okay.
What do skinny jeans and motels have in common?
Oh, boy.
This is going to be bad.
There's no way this is good.
Skinny jeans and motels.
Or cheap hotel that's just not fancy.
Go ahead.
No ballroom.
That was the morning corny.
I actually love that one.
That's actually fantastic.
That's really good, Amy.
That might be the best one I've ever told.
That might be the best one you've ever told.
I didn't know we were going to.
Okay.
We got to put that on the.
podcast non-beeped. Can we go? Do we have the version non-beat from 10 years? Okay.
Because, okay. You kind of needed non-beeped. Kind of needed it, but I get it. Nice job. 10 years, Amy,
for you the morning 40. Nice job. On the Bobby Bones show now. A thousand horses.
What's up, Michael, how's it going, buddy? Yeah. So we have the whole setup here, the full bands here,
and you keep tuning. You tune along. We'll do the interview while you're tuning.
Sounds cool. Because they're going to perform. Yeah, it feels like we're actually up to something.
instead of us just sitting around hanging.
Michael, how's everything going with you guys?
Man, it's going good.
I saw, we were playing your song on the countdown.
No News, which is an awesome song.
Thank you.
So the band, is it a bit different now?
Did somebody leave?
Yeah, exactly.
You don't even say who?
If it's controversial, I don't know.
No, it's not controversial.
No, okay.
It was on good turn.
He didn't die.
He's doing very well.
He's still alive.
Okay.
He's having another kid.
Got it, got it.
Are you guys still out on?
the road, you know, planned a bunch of shows? Are you heading back out in spring?
We are. We head back out next week. Yeah. Yeah. Do you feel like you go just as hard now that
you're a dad? No. Is it a different heart? It's a different hard. Meaning, you get sleep a little more.
Yeah. Because you're not up, not sleeping later. Yeah. Meaning, because, you know, with a kid,
obviously, when the baby's born, you're missing sleep. However, if you're like a freaking rock and roll
country band, you're probably not sleeping a lot after the show. Like, you guys used to go a lot harder.
We used to go a lot of harder. Yeah.
we've unhardened ourselves.
I think age does that a little bit.
And so a few things I wanted to do with you guys,
and if you don't mind, I'd like to get to one of the new songs first,
and we can talk again afterward.
But you guys put out no news.
You have summer, but there is not an album yet that I know of.
Are you guys talking about putting out?
Or is it just a different world now?
You're just putting out singles.
Well, both.
We have an album that we finished,
and we're just kind of been rolling out songs from the album,
and then the album's called The Outside,
and it should drop this summer.
Okay, so I didn't miss it.
I was worried.
No, uh-uh.
You're right on.
But it's a new world.
I'm like the present of the fan club,
and I was like, I missed the album?
Yeah.
Okay, a thousand horses is here.
So which would you like to perform first?
We're going to play No News first.
Okay, no news first.
It's a song that we featured on the National Countdown Show.
I thought it was really good.
A thousand horses is here.
One, two, three, four, all five of them.
The drummers even got the Eddie, the little broomstick sticks.
Oh, yeah, yeah, the ones that he doesn't hit so hard.
Like, would you might hit in the drumsticks?
See?
That's not a full pound. Yeah. But it's like, what is that called?
Brushes? A brush, of course. And also the jazz players, they like to...
Shhh.
He paints.
Oh, what if you paint? Can we hear a paint?
That's pretty good.
Alright, here they are, a thousand horses with no news.
Great job.
The, uh...
The bass sounds awesome.
Oh man, thank you so much.
Are you just better than the rest of them?
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding. Your mix is so good...
It's a matter of opinion there, by it.
No, I'm just kidding. If I didn't know everybody, I wouldn't have made that.
joke. We're going to hang out with these guys for a bit, but I do want to talk about the tour.
They start March 21st in Madison, Wisconsin. A lot of the places are show airs.
St. Paul, Minnesota on the 22nd, Omaha on the 23rd, all through April, and we're rolling
all the way through the end of April. And so a thousand horses is here. We're going to come back in just a
second. We got more songs to play. Eddie, only if you want to continue. They can go home now.
It's up to you. It's on me right now?
How are you feeling, man?
Lunchbox. Turn your chair around.
What? Dealer, no deal.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Lunchbox wants to go home.
We should go home.
What do you think the song was that they just played?
What was it called?
Some of horses.
No, that's their name.
That's their name.
No, he was wordling, dude.
He doesn't watch or pay attention to a single performance.
It's wild.
He doesn't care about music.
It's not you guys.
It's everyone.
He doesn't like music.
He's the only person I've ever met
that doesn't have, like,
an affinity for general music.
Do you know anybody that doesn't love at least a kind of music, Michael?
No, I don't.
No, I don't either.
Isn't that crazy?
And when he runs, you know what he listens to?
Nothing.
I do get that.
I do get that.
I do the same thing.
I run.
You're partial psychos, but he's full psycho.
Like, it doesn't matter if it's Keith Urban.
It doesn't matter who.
He just checks out and does a wordle.
And then we'll check in and be like, what do you think about that?
He'd be like, what?
So he missed the choice.
I heard the base was good.
Yeah.
Do you whirdle and run?
Do you wordle and run?
No, but I'll be honest.
I don't know which one the base.
Which one do you think the base is?
The guy in the yellow hat.
And what do you think the bass does?
Adam, you've always wanted to be a bass.
Plays guitar.
Yeah.
So you think it's a version?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Like, when you feel, I play bass, I'm like, oh, so you play guitar.
But what do you think that means?
Is it a...
They play guitar.
That's it.
I don't know.
Like a style of normal guitar?
How many strings are on a bass?
For example, would you play...
This is kind of a trick question about how many strings are on a bass.
Yeah.
Hey, would you play...
Well, I just found out that a...
The person who Lunchbox thinks plays the bass.
Would you just strike?
drum some chords. Does that sound bassy?
I don't know. I don't know what bass is.
Let's try another one. Would you mind strumming a few chords?
Okay. Well, they sound similar.
Okay. Would you mind hitting a few things?
Okay, so that guy's going to be...
That's the bass.
Why? Why? He's got it.
Base. Bass tone. No, it's baritone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what we're working with it.
And this is real. One of the way, whatever's that.
Yeah, but when you ask me about the strings, I just learned that a guitar.
is a, that's what they call a six string.
Yeah.
Wait, you just learned that?
So the song, I got my first real six string.
Yeah, I didn't know.
You didn't know?
I didn't know.
And I think it was an easy trivia, and I think I missed it.
And that's when I was...
What did you think he got when you heard that song?
A six string.
What did you think was?
I didn't know what that meant.
I was like, oh, cool.
He got a six string.
I thought it was a gun.
Six pieces of string.
So a six shooter would be a gun.
Ah.
Yeah.
Which means what?
What do you think the six shooter means?
A gun.
No, but what's the six?
Bullets.
Like a chamber?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's it.
Thousand horses is here.
Sorry, guys.
We got sidetrack.
I love it.
We will come back in a second.
Follow them.
8,000 horses on Instagram.
Hold, hold.
8,000 horses.com and all the tour dates.
We're going to come back in a second.
You can save your question.
Okay.
Because I think there are audience members who have the same questions.
I just think it's weird.
By this point, it's not even weird to me that you don't really care about music at all.
No, but I've got a real good shot of getting the word on too.
Who. Okay, you let us know if you got that.
We'll come back in a second.
On the Bobby Bones show now.
A thousand horses.
Do you guys care if people write 1,000 the numbers than horses?
Because that's not your name.
No.
But it's like, what hurts the most?
Rascal Flats.
Oh, yeah.
They don't like the Rascal Flats.
I've never heard you call the Rascal Flats.
Oh, we used to all the time.
Just because we're idiots.
We'd be like, the Rascal Flats.
So is it an, or 21 pilots.
Like, it's totally spelled out.
Yeah.
If someone writes 1-0-0-0 horses, are you like, we're out of here, we cancel the show.
I feel like we used to be, been out of shape about that.
But, I mean.
Yeah.
Just kind of comes to the territory.
Yeah. Eventually, you get used to it.
I don't dig it, though.
When you're a number band.
The answer is no, I don't write it.
Lunchbox, what is your question for these guys?
You had one, but we held you.
Yeah.
So that guy picked up a new guitar.
I was sitting over there.
Which guy?
I don't know that guy's name.
Oh, man.
It's Bill.
I'm Bill.
Bill.
Have you not played?
You don't, you don't.
I think you've hung out with them and you just don't realize it's them.
No, I used to think I saw Michael Mone his yard, but it wasn't him.
It was a yard guy.
That's weird.
The dude would wear jeans.
He would be running with no music.
Yeah, and I'd run by his house.
And you thought that was, did it look like him?
It was a tall guy, you know, and as you're running, you just look over across street and like, oh, he's mowed his yard.
And then Caroline told me it wasn't him.
It wasn't him.
Got it.
Definitely.
She was like, he just.
I will, though.
I like mowing grass.
Yeah, but he was just like, yeah, it's not him.
Bill, what do you have there?
So is that a bass?
Because it looks like that guitar.
Well, this is actually like, um,
this is a new fender that they came up with with,
it's called an acoustic sonic and it's like a hybrid acoustic electric.
But it's not a bass.
Got it.
It's like a mixture of an electric guitar and the one that guy's playing back there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like,
I'm playing slide.
It sounds better than like,
okay.
It's to me than that.
And so Graham has a bass.
Yes.
Oh, that's his name is Graham.
Hey.
Guys, this is lunch rocks.
Nice to meet you, man.
I swear all of you, he's met every one of you.
Oh, yeah.
Multiple times.
And you just don't even know.
No, I don't think I have.
Okay, well.
Maybe once.
That's showbiz.
A thousand horses is here.
Hey, what does it mean?
I know you guys started your own record label.
Does that cost money?
Like, what's up with that?
Well, yeah.
I'd like to start a couple of myself.
It costs as little as much as you want it to.
Yeah, it's kind of up to you.
It's like your own business.
So whatever you want to put in.
So what have you been able to do as your own bosses?
honestly just being on to release music when we want to and as frequent as we want to you
you know not a lot of red tape when these guys are the guys I got to talk to you about it sure
yeah that's a huge part of it because you know when you uh a lot of times I mean we don't have
to ask anybody permission anymore we have to go sit around a conference room and you know
I hate those conference rooms well people who have a song you know we can write it record
it we want put it out directly to the fans you know why we started a band in the first place was
just because we love to making music so
It simplifies some things.
A thousand horses here.
You go check out the tour dates at 1000Horses.com.
But would you guys do Summer if that's cool?
I like that song.
That song just came out a couple weeks ago, right?
Yeah.
Not this last Friday, the last Friday.
Here they are.
A thousand horses with their new song, Summer.
So who's somebody married to Summer?
No.
See, I just feel like that'd be a tricky thing to go back home with.
Right.
Because somebody's going to have to go, well, it was great.
Graham's idea about summer,
even though, or you go, it's a fake person,
and it's probably not even believable to why.
I don't know, I just feel like that's tricky.
There's a lot of details for it not to be a real story.
Right. So somebody, like has to take ownership,
even if it's somebody like you create a fourth fake writer or a fifth fake, whomever.
Like, no, Trent came in and had this girl Summer.
She's out there.
Yeah, so who's summer?
Summer's, you know.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
You know my wife.
Because as I was hearing you.
She loves that song, yeah.
As I was hearing, and I was like, that's got to be a different one to explain.
Yeah, I thought the same thing.
Unless you just don't take the blame.
Like, you know, I was then on to help ride it.
But, you know, it's Marty.
What was Marty?
I don't know him.
Lunchbox, what's your question?
Yeah, I got a question.
So, did you have to talk to Robert Rokkeen about that line?
Which one?
Which one?
The road goes on forever?
Yeah, well, we change.
I know you changed it.
But you don't own a line.
And that's also a comment.
I don't know.
I've got trouble, so I'm just trying to.
Now, if you would have said, and the party never ends, that's like that's like.
Now we're...
There's a gray area right there.
Got it.
I'm checking.
I'll never sing it the same again now that you told me that.
Well, I mean, you obviously know the song, so...
When they sing Stairway to Heaven, it's a different version altogether.
Yeah.
Different heaven.
Yeah, it's a different...
Different staircase.
I mean, I don't know.
You guys always tell me that...
Twist and shout.
It's just not the same.
It's a whole different song.
I don't know the rules.
I'm just saying I heard it and I was like, uh-oh, we got vanilla eyes on our hands here.
Yeah.
Boom-doo-do-do-do-do-do-s.
Right?
Do we need to...
I don't feel like, well, the difference is one...
That's a common phrase anyway.
Okay.
I think he just wants to prove to you that he listened to the song.
Oh, you know what?
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
He was in.
I mean, that's second verse stuff.
He was really in it.
He was.
Unless he just came out for error during the second verse.
Yeah.
I just, I heard that line.
I was like, oh, they're going to go into the...
Did you get the wordling to?
I haven't taken a second guess yet, man.
Because I'm stuck.
By what, though?
Well, because I have two letters in the right spot.
and a third letter not in the right spot, but it's in the word.
I've never done a wordle. Do you guys wordle?
No.
You do wordle?
And so I think the H is what it begins with, because I don't know anything that ends in A-H-E.
So that's a, I mean, that's a weird- Apache.
A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-C-H-E.
Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying.
So I'm trying to come up.
When you work on that, we're going to let, we're going to do some more music over here, okay?
Okay. Apache.
I'm going with that.
Yeah, well, I think that's, so wait.
And I just got to say, I was.
letters? Yeah, what is it? I was just trying to be
nice. No, no, I don't want you to Google because you can't
Google. I don't have a computer. I'm just going to write it.
I got a pin. Well, I don't know what the last
three letters are. A. H.E. I think
because I have, I guessed,
Chase on the first
letter, the first word. And so
the H is right, but it's in the wrong spot.
The A is right and in the right spot.
The S is not in it. The E. No.
I'm explaining that. There's a lot to. Totally screws me up.
Let's get my eyes on it. But I do
want to say, I mean, you guys did a great job.
Great job.
Yeah.
Great job.
You guys go ahead and retune.
Great job.
Go ahead and retune to let him do his wordal.
I'm being.
Now I'm curious to what the word is.
I know.
He's got to be interested now.
It's a lot of pressure to get it.
But A-H-E is not going to be it.
That's right.
So H is going to start the word.
That's going to be horses.
Oh.
How crazy would that be?
If it was horses, that'd be great.
But it's only five letters.
Horse.
H-O-R-S-E.
Is it?
No.
Okay, never mind.
Because S is not in the word.
He explained it.
I still can't see it.
So there's no S.
Right.
It starts with an H.
I think it starts with.
What's it in with again?
E.
Oh, nailed it.
Just narrowed it down.
H.
But we're guessing it's H.
Yeah.
Where's the A?
Is there a T?
A is right in the third letter.
Okay.
So it could be L-E.
A-L-E would be L.
Hathel?
No.
So the only letters that would work in between that would be L.
Abe.
Ace.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
You go to commercial.
I'll get it.
I'll figure it out.
You won't.
I will.
Dude, I wordle for a living.
No, you don't.
When I'm going to go to commercial, they're going to play another song.
Oh, all right.
Well, you guys on that while we do this song.
You guys are you guys good?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, this is how it is every performance.
If we ever go to him for the wordle, which we do sometimes, he kind of takes over.
I'm invested.
Yeah.
Yeah, man, it's a fun game, man.
Take a shot, though, before the song's over.
I know, but you know how cool it is if you get it in two?
I know.
It's like in the little wordle bottle go unbelievable or impressive.
Do you get more points if you get it into?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we're figuring out to Michael's a big wordle guy.
Michael, no, he whirdles?
Well, yeah.
Hey, Grant.
Wirtle denial?
I got wordal on my phone, man.
Do you play it every day?
No, not every day.
Graham, were you, I was a Cub Scout.
I'm not very good.
Yes.
Did you move up?
Did we be an Eagle Scout?
I did.
I went all through Boy Scouts and got my Eagle Scout.
Wow.
So that's really cool because I did a show called Breaking Bobby on
that I couldn't tie a knot to save my life.
So if you had to tie a knot to save your life, could you?
Yes, definitely.
A really good one.
Yeah.
And what do you, as an Eagle Scout, like what do you feel like you took from that mostly?
Man, I think leadership is probably the biggest thing that I took from the overall experience.
And how do you think being an Eagle Scout affects you in a band where you have to be very collaborative
and there's leadership involved.
However, sometimes you've got to be the guy that takes the leadership.
Sometimes you've got to be the guy that gives it.
I think that, yeah, part of leadership is knowing when to not be like, I'm doing this, you know, and then part of it is you know when to step up.
And I also think that just like we've been a band for a long time.
Commitment is a big part of it.
Like you just got to stay the course and keep doing the work to get it done.
And I think that's kind of like.
Have you guys done any?
Any band therapy?
Michael?
Any band therapy?
Have you guys ever been like therapy together?
We have not.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
We've just figured out how to work it out on our own.
Which maybe not be the healthiest.
But we get along.
We grew up together, you know.
And you two went to high school together.
Yeah, middle school and high school.
And then Graham's his cousin, Bill's cousin.
So I've known Graham since I've known Bill.
Yeah, Graham and I were born two weeks apart.
So, you know, we're kind of more like brother.
We're ready to take a guess.
Oh, my God.
Dude, we're in the middle of an interview.
Oh, my God.
Hold off.
This is exciting.
No, I know.
I haven't hit inter yet.
You can guys be a part of history.
Let me talk to them about their lives real quick.
All right.
What were you guys talking about?
Well, so they were middle school together.
Who were?
Michael.
Who were?
Bill and I.
That's pretty crazy.
Right.
You know Bill kind of looks like?
Who's that?
He looks like a comedian guy.
He's had too much.
I think I'm out of my.
Did you jump in?
I say Matt Rife, yeah.
I don't know his name.
When did you guys decide you were going to, well, even goof around and play music together
as kids?
Because I'm sure that's where it started, right?
Yeah.
When did you guys do that?
What age?
I was in the eighth grade.
I think Michael was in the ninth grade.
Yes, I was like 13 or 14.
Oh, you don't know with the younger kids?
Yeah.
Well, he was the only guy in the music shop.
Yeah, we got in the music store.
We had one music store.
Bill, lean on the microphone.
Like, make a band.
Sorry, we tried forever to, like, get all of our friends to learn drums or bass or whatever so we could form a band.
And we were the only two, you know, we were super committed from teenagers.
Like, that's what we're going to do with our lives.
They're going to be in a band.
And so did you both play guitar?
Like, is that what you did?
You sat around and played guitar.
Did you have write songs of kids?
We did.
Were they?
Yeah.
Were they good considering you were that young?
Not saying were they good now, but if you look back, you're not so embarrassed by them.
I think Michaels are pretty good.
Mine are terrible.
But I think Michaels are pretty good.
For 14?
Yeah.
I mean, if you heard them, you'd be like, damn.
Yeah, that's my point.
I don't think I'm going to hear them and give it a Grammy, but would I go, oh, 14, that's not so bad.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
When did you start writing songs?
What age did you start writing anything?
Around that age, I was told to write your own songs, don't learn other songs.
Who told you that?
My cousin from the Black Crows when we met, he said, here's some advice, write your own songs,
don't learn cover songs.
And so I was like, okay.
So I started trying to figure it out, took a guitar lesson, learned GCD, and then just made a bunch of noise until it sounded right.
And what about you two?
When was the first time that you performed?
And maybe at this point, Graham was part of the band, too.
When did you guys perform publicly for the first time?
Oh, man.
And did you have a name.
Yeah.
We did have a name.
So our first show...
This may be your wordel.
Yeah.
No, I think I got it, guys.
Okay, we'll get to you.
Go ahead.
Our first show was, I think it was three days after my 16th birthday, I remember,
and it was a battle of the bands, and we won.
Just you two?
No, we had some other guys.
Got it played with us, some older guys.
And you won?
Yeah, we won.
It was, like, sponsored by the local rock station.
93.
93.5.
Yeah.
Where was that?
Columbia?
Columbia, South Carolina, and we won a thousand bucks.
And we were like.
And we could record three songs at this studio in Columbia.
And a thousand bucks?
Yeah.
It was a big deal.
A big win.
We're like, we're pretty good at this.
This is easy.
Yeah.
And so, what was the band called then?
What did you introduce yourself as?
Sterling Y was the band name.
And why was it Sterling Y?
I don't know why.
We're still looking for that.
Yeah.
I think we needed a name.
Did you know a Sterling with like the mailbox guy or something?
No.
I wish I had a cooler story for it besides just teenage kids coming up with a band name.
And then was it, yeah, we're definitely going to, we're good and we're going to keep doing this.
Was that what it felt like after you won?
Yeah, it felt pretty good.
Yeah, we got this figure.
So we had a 15 years old, a thousand bucks.
I mean, come on, man.
I was ready to move away.
And what about the songs you're recorded, though?
Do you still have them somewhere?
Somewhere, yeah.
I bet you my older brother has them, because he's got everything.
I think I have that original Sterling-Y CD somewhere.
Yeah, we need to get it out and play it.
So, Graham, you're Bill's cousin.
Yep.
When did you come along?
Kind of like that towards the end of middle school, high school,
I started spending all my summers up in Newberry, where these fellows are from.
And we were kind of like, this is a thing.
thing, right? Like, we're going to do this. Because I was playing music and had my own band in the town
that I was from. And we're like, we're going to do this, though, right? This feels right.
Since you were third, though, do they make you play the bass since they already had guitars?
I kind of started out. I took a couple of my brother's guitar lessons and then ended up kind of
gravitating towards the base. So I was playing bass in my band back home. Older brother?
Older brother. So you got doubled in because most younger brothers are forced to play the
base if their older brother plays guitar because they need a bass player. And then you jumped in late.
you're naturally a great bass player because naturally you're the younger brother and the third end.
I got all the things just lined up right now.
Do you play piano too?
A little bit.
My mom's a great piano.
But people that say that actually play piano.
It's like, do you play golf a little bit?
I'm okay.
But if anybody's like, I'm really good golfer.
You're like, no, you're not.
No good golf or whatever said that.
All right, let's go.
If you guys don't mind, let's play Smoke, which went number one.
Massive song for you guys.
We'll play the song and then we're going to do the word all after the song.
Oh, good.
Can't wait.
And I'm still trying to figure out the guy he looks like.
Isn't it like worthless conversation when someone goes, man, you look like my cousin.
And you're like, I don't know your cousin.
Why does that matter to me?
Oh, gosh, he was in a movie.
Okay.
I think I know, is it an older guy?
I don't know.
It was like, he was like.
It doesn't matter.
I'm not, I'm not, don't call for a trap.
Mike, you went to him, don't go to the well.
Don't go to the well.
Let the wells exist over there.
All right.
Here's a thousand horses and here is smoke.
All right.
Nice job.
A thousand horses.
a couple things. First of all, you guys check out at 1,000 Horses and go follow them in social media.
They're doing all these shows up until the end of April, which can find all the tour dates there as well.
They got the new song, Summer, which just came out, which we played earlier.
You can watch all these performances on our YouTube channel.
And then finally, before we say goodbye, lunchbox.
Yeah, it's Jason Schwartzman.
That's who that guy looks like.
I've heard that. I thought you meant to Whirdle.
Oh, well.
I was really committed to that. Godly.
I mean, I had to search.
I knew he was on a movie cover, so I had to Google movies of the 90s and figure out who he was.
Okay, thanks, man.
Now, Wordle.
That's real good.
Okay, wordle.
And so what do you think it is?
I put heave.
Heave.
Heave.
H-E-A-V-E as my second guess.
I'm about to hit in her and find out.
Wait.
Heave.
Eve.
E-A-V-E.
What does that mean?
That means throw something.
Did you cheat to get this or you just feel good about it?
No, I don't know how to cheat.
Okay.
I'm not a hit in her.
Here we go.
Let's see.
Go.
Boom, boom.
Boom.
Hey.
Magnificent.
Magnificent.
You got it.
Yeah.
Wow, dude.
That's pretty cool to see, bones.
That is awesome.
We just had a great performance of three songs and you guys are.
Oh my goodness.
The average 4.3 guesses me.
Two.
I'm way above average.
Skill.
99% level.
I'm glad you can make this all about you.
No, no.
They're a performance.
performance was amazing. It contributed their music by osmosis. Got in my brain. Solve the
wordle. What do you think osmosis is? It comes to you. I've heard people say that.
Like they're in the same room with you so you learn it. Osmosis. Yeah, being around it.
Yeah, sure. We'll go with that. Man, let's see. Wow. Here's what's crazy guys.
What's crazy is after my first guest, there was only one word left possible out of the whole dictionary.
And you got it.
Out of all the words.
A Thousandhorses.com.
They'll do Wordle live on stage.
Anything you want to say to them lunchbox?
To them.

Good.
Lead singer's name.

That's Bill.
And he plays?
Or Jason Schwartzman.
And he plays?
A hybrid.
Well, this is a guitar.
Bill Schwarzen.
You didn't listen, though.
Bill Schwarzen.
Hey, I got it.
Okay.
Other two guys, what's up?
What's up?
All right.
A thousand horses, thank you.
Good to see you guys.
Thanks, good to see you.
I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable.
Until I really start making money.
It's Financial Literacy Month
And the podcast Eating While Broke
Is Bringing Real Conversations about money,
Growth, and Building Your Future
This month hear from top streamer
Zoh Spencer and venture capitalist
Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre
As they share their journeys from starting out
To leveling up
If I'm outside with my parents
And they're seeing all these people come up to me
For pictures, it's like, what?
Today now, obviously
It's like 100%
They believe everything
But at first it was just like
You gotta go get a real job
There's an economic component to communities thriving.
If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.
They cannot feed their kids.
They do not have homes.
Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.
Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
You can have opinions.
You can have like a strong stance.
And then there's your body having its own program.
I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans,
a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation.
There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.
We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.
Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is Amy Roboc alongside T.J. Holmes from the Amy and T.J. podcast.
And there is so much news, information, commentary coming at you all day and from all over the place.
What's fact, what's fake, and sometimes what the F.
So let's cut the crap, okay?
Follow the Amy and T.J.
Podcast, a one-stop news and pop culture shop to get you caught up and on with your day.
And listen to Amy and T.J. on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
All right, let's go and do the new.
Bobby's Big.
Stories.
Does your mom have a favorite child?
One in four mothers admit it's true.
So you know there's probably another, I know, a few that won't admit it, but feel it, yeah.
The survey also revealed the key ways people can figure out if they're their mom's number one,
including always being the one she talks to about and talks about to other friends
and making more of an effort on their birthdays than the other siblings.
Yeah, my brother and sister say that I'm the favorite to her.
Do you feel like you're the favorite?
I used to be, I think, but now that I live here in Tennessee,
I think that my sister's probably the favorite now.
Because she's close proximity.
Yeah, and they hang out a lot.
the time. Lunchbox, you, your favorite. Most successful. Bring most of the family.
I don't know. Your sister's pretty successful. Yeah, she's a nurse, but she's not as successful
as me. It's a tough word. But success in what way? Like, she's actually saving people's lives.
I am too. We get people all the time to call in and say, you got me through a rough time.
All the time? Yeah. Like, I met some lady a couple weeks ago. We got her through the time.
her husband got arrested in India.
And she found our radio show.
And she was like, all I could do was cry.
But then I found you guys.
And for seven and a half months, I just listened to you guys.
And then my husband came home.
Why he was locked up in Mumbai or what?
Yeah.
Because he was spreading the word of the Lord.
Oh, wow.
Now, don't fall for a trick.
No, I am.
That sucks.
Don't fall for a trick.
Because I'm not comparing him to a nurse.
Wow, man.
And we helped her for seven years?
Seven and a half months.
Oh, seven months.
Yeah, but my sister does great work.
Yes.
My brother, he works in an office.
See, there's no need to even go after him there.
He slams his brother.
We just moved on.
No, I'm saying he works in an office.
He does great.
Other signs include moms keeping more photos,
their favorite kid on display,
using their favorite son or daughter's birthday for passwords.
Yeah.
That's crazy, man.
That's from Moonpig Survey.
Top couples complaints.
When asked to rate their top relationship irritants,
men and women give strikingly different answers.
what is, and I'll just ask you guys, what is your biggest complaint?
I don't really have one.
Do you have one lunch?
The nagging.
Okay, he went quick.
Yeah, nagging.
Eddie's at least acting like he's got to think about his story.
I mean, I don't know, dude.
I mean, it's just like, oh, did you do this?
Oh, no, I forgot I'll do that in a minute.
Then 10 minutes later.
Hey, did you do this?
No, I'm still eating my lunch.
I'll do it in a minute.
Like, it's like, okay, stop.
Like, I didn't forget this time.
I just, yeah.
I think ours is temperature related.
Like, it.
It's not even that I like it cold, but she gets so cold, so quick that she's always freezing.
She's like, I'm just so cold.
I got another one.
We'll put on a coat.
You have another one?
Of course he does.
Go ahead.
My wife waits until about 4 o'clock.
She's like, what should we do for dinner?
Really, it's 4 o'clock?
We should already have had this decided like at like 1 o'clock.
What time are you're going to eat?
Yeah, sometimes we don't.
We don't have kids.
We have kids that are 2, 4, and 5.
We eat at 5, 5, 515.
Okay.
And I'm like, that drives me up a wall.
All right, I got one.
Go ahead.
Just one.
I'm glad, hey, it took you a long time to think of it.
Yeah, I just don't understand.
Like, she takes everything out to cook, right, and makes a mess out of the kitchen just to clean it up later.
I'm like, why not just put stuff away as you're cooking?
And it's just a huge mess.
And then she's like, I'm going to clean it up anyway, right?
But the kitchen's a mess all day.
What about this?
Let's switch it up.
What is your wife's biggest complaint about you?
I can't think of one.
None of those?
You?
A lot.
I mean, yeah.
I'm not the easiest to live with.
I mean, probably, I have priority work a lot of times.
That's a big one, which I'm trying to be better at it.
Video games and all?
Priority video games.
I'm trying to be better at that.
Yeah, yeah.
I like to, and this is just a, because my,
My wife and are both allergic to our dogs, we found out through doing allergy shots.
But I like to get on the ground and roll around with them and then not cleaned it off and just get in the bed.
Oh, yeah.
She didn't like that.
No, no, no, I don't like that at all.
I think she wants to kill me sometimes when I do that.
I just forget.
But I like get on the red and I go, well, yeah.
And as soon as I walk in the house from work, I'd be like, where are my friends?
And they come running, right?
Oh, that's cool.
That's my thing.
Where are my friends?
They come running.
And sometimes I get on the ground, roll with them.
And then I just run and plopopop on the bed.
And she's like, did you do where my friends?
I feel like I did.
There's a lot for me.
Oh, maybe.
I'm too nice to her.
Oh, too great of my husband.
Yeah, because she's like, man, it just seems like it's so fake because you're so nice all the time.
And I'm like, well, let you die.
And you do talk to her like, and you're just probably way good looking.
Yeah.
She does, done not like.
Too much sex appeal.
That's it.
Yeah.
Everywhere we go, women are, woo, cat calling.
She's like, man, it's just so hard being with you.
And she's like, you just handle that so well.
You don't even turn your head.
Good for you, man.
That's from psychology today.
What does a hairstyle say about a woman?
And here's the thing about this.
I just feel like this is bullcrap because it's only positive things.
For example, fashion experts say it is very telling about a woman, her personality.
If you look at her hairstyle, a woman with curly hair, seen is optimistic and usually very positive.
Oh.
Wavy-haired women, approachable and warm.
For hair is short, she's projecting confidence of creativity.
Women with straight hair seen is rich and worldly.
I don't see a dang thing about negative things.
Yeah.
That means everybody with hair is awesome.
I thought like that's just how your hair is.
Like, do girls have to curl their hair?
Yeah, yes, or straighten it or cut it or, yeah.
You don't have a lot of hair, so experience with it.
I know, I don't know anything about hair, really.
Morgan, what would you say to his answer?
Yes, we have the style of Eddie, but yes, we do have natural wet.
Like some people can have natural straight hair, natural curly hair, but we still typically style it.
But do girls curl their hair?
Yeah, like, I curl my hair every morning.
My curly natural hair is crazy.
so I have to style it and curl it, make it better.
When I say style it, that means curl, blow dry, do the whole thing.
Morgan, I'm looking at you right now.
I got a question.
Yeah.
Is your hair naturally not blonde?
When I was born, yes.
As I got older, I got more like darker blonde.
But still darker blonde.
Yeah, I had like white blonde hair.
Ray, why did you ask that?
Ray, why did you laugh so hard?
Sorry.
Just because it was a weird question?
Weird question.
Why would you ask that?
Yeah, but I dye it.
That's not a lot.
Because I'm looking at the top of their head and I see some black hair.
Those are the roots.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
So it's not, it's not, I didn't know that it was easy.
How's your wordal?
Easy, buddy.
That's good?
No, I'm saying I didn't know it was.
First impressions by And Demarius with that.
No, that's a good question.
We're just, we're not going to stay with it a long time.
I just saw it.
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, maybe her hair's really black.
Yes, as you get older, your hair gets darker.
That's what happens.
I didn't know that.
Unless you're white hair.
Eddie.
Yeah, you're red hair and you lose your hair.
No, your hair is just tan, you know.
Just like me.
All right, that's the news.
Bobby's big.
Stories.
Not really someone that posts reviews.
Even if things don't go right, I just kind of go, well, maybe they're having a bad day, generally.
But I had an Amazon order sent to my house yesterday.
Oh, all right.
And it said delivered.
And it wasn't delivered.
I didn't see it anywhere.
And so I went into my app.
And I look for it and it said, yeah, delivered.
Here's a picture of it.
And they just threw it like in the ditch in front of the house.
Oh.
Yeah, that's not cool.
But do I need to review it?
Yes.
We get a different Amazon person every day.
But they know which Amazon driver came to your house that time.
What would you say if you were me then?
Because maybe it was an accident.
Maybe it like fell out of their hand.
Or it blew into the dish.
It wasn't because it's pretty heavy.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
So if it fell out of their hand, they would pick it up and put it where it's supposed to go.
Maybe their hand, it was a prosthetic hand.
They didn't have feeling in it.
Oh, right, right, right.
Seems to me like it was a drive-by, toss out the door and drive.
Maybe.
Okay, so when you say review, like, how are you going to review it?
Well, it's like leave feedback just generally.
I'm like, I always feel like too, like maybe I'm just too lazy to do it.
Like I've, but I just saw the, I was like, I was like, where is it?
I know it was delivered.
It said it was delivered.
And then I saw the picture that take a picture of it.
Also, if you're them, why would you take that picture?
Yeah.
Why would you just not go, oh, the picture wouldn't load?
Because you threw it in the ditch.
Just don't put a picture up of the bad job that you did.
I've thought about it.
I think you need to review it.
You do.
You need to review this, dude.
Send a review in, tell them that you were not satisfied with what happened.
and let's see what happens.
See what you get.
Here's the good and the bad.
What I would get probably is nothing.
And somebody who maybe was having a bad day gets penalized
and maybe it's strike three and they lose their job.
Yeah, but let's say they have a bad day every day.
I hear you.
And if every person says, oh, I'm not going to review because they're having a bad day.
Well, sorry.
And we need accountability in this world.
That's right.
We do.
So people.
From you two, hilarious to hear.
Why?
Why?
We're never held accountable?
You just don't want to be held accountable.
I'd prefer not to be.
Right, that's my point.
I'm just saying, I think you need to let him know.
Well, that's what I'm...
I'm not even dealing with it.
It's not that big of an issue.
What did your wife say?
Nothing. It was my...
I didn't tell her because it was...
Oh, no.
Like, football card holders.
Like, for cards I'm going to send off to get authenticated.
That's why you're upset.
Well, no, I was just looking for it.
But I'm not going to be like,
have you seen my little football card holders?
Because she's already like, you have so much,
like, come into that.
Because I've been, you know...
Oh, let me ask you guys this question.
question. Morgan, I would like to ask you this question too, because this is mostly a,
maybe possibly a generational thing. I'm doing this series, this kind of digital docu-series on
sports memorabilia cards, the breaks that I do. I just, it's this crazy culture. And I want to name
the, this is what I want to name the series, because we've already started shooting it. I want to
name the series. I saw the sign. I saw the end block letters and sign as like a sign like
cursive. And in parentheses, because I saw the sign.
a series about sports memorabilia, not ace of bass.
Yeah, because that's the first thing I thought of.
Does that make sense to you, Morgan?
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Oh, come on.
So I saw the sign.
Okay.
Opened up my eyes.
I saw the sign.
So it would be called I saw the sign.
It's about sign stuff.
But it says, I saw the sign, parentheses,
a series about signed sports memorabilia, not Ace of a bass.
Because Ace of Bass sings that song.
God, I thought it was from pitch perfect.
Okay.
That's funny.
Yeah, that's what I know from.
Because I thought it was pretty clever when I came up with it,
but then I started to think it just might be lost on folks.
And it's really long, too.
It is really long.
But the title is I saw The Sign.
That's the name of the series.
But it's like the first book that I wrote.
It was called Bear Bones.
And the sub is, I'm not lonely if you're reading this book.
You don't say the sub the whole time.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, I like it.
I like it.
I like it because I know Ace of bass in the song.
I know.
And that's the first thing I thought of when you said, I saw the sign.
I saw the sign.
sign like you sign something.
Like double.
But we're an older generation.
But maybe you just leave it.
I saw the sign and then some people get it.
And otherwise it's just a clever name to like people like me.
Like you sign.
Were you lunchbox the one talking about calling from accounting?
Calling from accounts, yes.
Yeah.
We started watching it last night.
It's hilarious.
It's so funny.
This conversation reminds me of that because it's a couple.
And they have the same exact age difference to my wife and I,
which is 11 years, almost 12 years, like 11 years, nine months.
and they're dating, and
there's a whole story
is why they date, but
he says stuff, and she's like, what?
I don't even know what that is.
And so to us, it's hilarious,
because really the only thing that we don't
have the same sensibilities about
is pop culture.
Yeah. Because I'll say stuff,
I'll be like,
I mean, anything 90s related.
She's like, I don't know what it is.
But it's really funny.
It's Australian.
Yeah.
So it's like a hybrid of American
and British humor.
It feels like, but yeah, it's, it's so funny.
It is on Paramount
plus in 30 minute episodes
and they're starting season two.
I think that's about to come out.
But we just started season one.
Oh, season two is going to come out?
Yeah, my wife's like, we should watch Colin from accounts.
I was like, I don't know what that is.
And I was like, oh, lunchbox talked about that show.
She goes, well, I heard about it from a friend too, so we watched it.
It's good.
Really funny.
94% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Do you guys like it because it's like you too?
No, we like it because it's really funny.
Yeah, you laugh out loud.
It's like the British office, kind of.
You laugh out loud, but that relatability to us because we're that.
A woman in Louisiana
is suing after a contractor
tears down her home by a mistake.
How does this happen?
I don't get it.
They were supposed to take down the one next door.
They didn't.
That's wild to me.
It's like a doctor doing
the amputation on the wrong leg or something.
Now Ernestine Smith
is filing a lawsuit to get the cost of her home back
when the contractor came back to level the correct house.
They were generous they thought
and offered her a couple thousand bucks for her trouble.
They knocked her whole house down.
I'm looking at pictures of it.
So what?
From WBRZ.
What does she do?
Like what did she do?
She's suing, but I don't know where she's living.
Originally the contractor said he tore down the right house.
But then he's,
it seems he's been proven wrong.
Yeah, yeah.
I think you can figure that out.
You just come home and it's gone.
I mean, once I drove up when I was living in a condo here downtown,
it was always my dream to live downtown somewhere.
And so I'd lived in this house and some guy went murdered his whole family.
Oh, yeah.
And I moved out.
I was like, I'm out of here.
And Mike,
was at my house.
We were working on some stuff and I was gone.
I drove up and I see Mike D.
standing outside my condo with the dog and there are fire trucks everywhere.
And somebody had busted like a water main.
And I live on the top level, but they busted it above of your mind.
It flooded every unit.
But I drove up and I was like, what is happening?
That sucks for whoever this is.
Oh my God.
It's my place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was like, man, somebody's going through something.
That's, oh, no.
I see Mike soaking wet with my dog standing outside.
You know, I wonder, too, like, how does that happen?
Like, how do they get the addresses mixed up or whatever?
But Uber, for some reason, never gets my house right.
This isn't Uber, though.
No, I understand.
It doesn't have, like, triple check before they dumb all.
Yeah, they should have, like, a wristband like you do at the hospital.
They should put it on the house.
On the mailbox?
Yes.
Come on.
You're right.
But it's just weird, though, that every time I get an Uber in my house, they're always parked two houses down.
They're like, it's my app says it's right here.
I hear you, and that is frustrating.
So maybe it's the same software.
I don't think that is used software.
I think they should.
Like triple check.
Yeah.
Pin and paper.
If you got a sore throat,
chug pickle juice.
Okay.
Doesn't sound like it's like,
like you're going to be like,
I can't wait to do it.
But if it helps,
when you have a sore throat,
when you have a sore throat,
all I can think about is
the good old days
when I didn't have a sore throat.
It's everything when I'm sick.
Yeah.
Like I just,
man,
times used to be so good.
And it's like,
you think I should have really valued those times.
Yes.
It's like you're a 95-year-old dude
on a porch wing of Worther's original.
No, I just got a sore throat,
but I'm like, man,
the good old days back when I just could breathe through my nose.
And it doesn't hurt.
Yes.
The next time you have a sore throat, try drinking or gargling first, then drinking pickle juice.
The extreme high salt content can reduce inflammation and give you relief for 15 to 20 minutes,
more so than some of the over-the-counter stuff that they have.
Do you guys like pickle juice?
Like to drink?
It's really good.
I don't mind.
I like pickles and I don't mind, but I, not to drink.
I don't have a glass of it after work.
Oh, man.
It's so good.
No, but when the jar of pickles is empty, you, you, you see.
sip on it. That's right. It's so good.
That doesn't gross me out, but I don't think I've ever just
had some, just been like, I'm going to chill at
with some pickle juice. I'll bring some tomorrow. No, I'm good.
I don't mind pickle juice. I like it.
And what I didn't think I would like,
the pickled snow cones?
Yeah, Piccadillies. The Piccadillies?
Yeah, because it's pickle juice with like strawberries.
And you're like, there's no way that would be good.
It's delicious. I just hop in and get one every day.
There's a little snow cone stand near the house.
Very much a Texas, Mexico type thing.
I was like, there's no way.
Shoot, I was their best.
customer. Dude, we ain't so those every day. I wanted to pick a punch card because I was there
every day. But knocking down the house, that is, and then it sounds like by that new story,
he then was like, no, no, this is the right one. No, trust me. She's like, no, I live there.
I would know. That's not the right one.
Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead.
Story up the day. This story comes to us from Laredo, Texas. A man showed up to the gas station
about 140 a.m. walks in, goes to the beer cooler. Ah, they're locked. Because they cut off
beer sales.
Goes to the clerk says,
hey, I need you to open that.
I need a 12-pack.
He says, no, I can't do it.
It's against the law.
So he punches him in the face.
Goes out, gets in his truck.
No, it's never good when you go
to the truck to come back.
I feel like he might.
Or he should have gone to the truck just to go home.
Yeah, no, he's coming back.
What's he coming back with?
A gun.
Oh, I thought he's going to drive
his truck into the building.
What do you got?
He drove his truck into the game.
And he got it.
Good job.
You know, I'd rather
that happened though because you go with a gun
you could actually kill the guy
behind the counter you're driving it in you're probably not going to hit
the guy behind the counter I mean he drove it
all the way and it's like barely in he went all the way back
to the beer cooler oh he was probably trying to open it from the front door
wow okay so not so bonehead huh did he get his beer
no because him and the passenger were stuck in the truck
the passenger the passenger was like no don't do this don't do this
police had to break the windows to get him out of the truck
all right I'm lunchbox that's your bonehead story of the day
The story about this mom, did you ever watch the show weeds back in the day?
Yeah, good show.
Where she was just a mom, like a wife, and she was selling, I mean, that's basically the story.
Like living two lives, right?
Yes.
So this is not exactly the same, but kind of.
You saw where she was running that crime ring?
There's this lady.
She has like a $2.5 million house, husband, three kids, and they have a ring of people,
women all over the country stealing from certain stores, and they've stolen like millions
and dollars a product. Like $8 million with
makeup. And they ship it to her
and she sells it on Amazon.
Alt, T.J. Max,
Walgreens. So.
And so she'll recruit women. She pays
them like, hey, I need
this, this, this, this. They go to
the store, steal it. Mail it to her.
She sells it on her Amazon store.
Got rated by the feds.
Her and her husband. Go to prison.
Michelle Mack. Which is a funny name for
someone robin a makeup store.
Mac. Matt Cosmetics. That's right.
Oh, I don't know the name of California.
It'd be like her name is Michelle Mabelene.
Right, right, right.
Michelle Mack is accused of paying as many as 12 women for travel expenses,
as well as providing them with a list of retail stores across the country to Target,
including 21 stores in counties across California and then stockpiling all the stolen goods
and then selling them on her Amazon storefront at a fraction of the price.
This is from NBC San Diego.
She's the ringleader.
Again, nearly $8 million worth of makeup and other goods from the stores.
I mean, they were banking.
And she would text them, hey, do you have any more girls?
because we need more stuff.
Like, have you got me anybody?
Like, you get a recruitment bonus
and her and her and her husband
would text back and forth
about, okay, we got a lot of this,
but we need more of this.
I can't believe they're putting in writing.
Like, if you're smart enough to organize this,
why are you texting in writing?
That's why the mobsters always meet
like in public.
Or they get on the phone, they're like,
the canary flew the coop.
They don't even say.
They had a name for their crime ring
called the California Girls,
which is the lamest name for a crime ring ever.
Awesome.
Wait.
Which is weird because.
You said lamest. You said awesome.
Well, they need a better name than California girls.
I like that they had a name.
Yeah, but they needed like, you know, the makeup missies or something.
Foundation girl.
Yeah, because they're not all in California.
Foundation females.
So it doesn't really make sense.
Yeah.
So, well, they got caught.
But you just wonder how many people are doing something like this and never get caught.
Yeah.
I mean, just imagine.
You're on the Amazon.
You're on Amazon and going, oh, that makeup's $10?
Cheap.
All stolen.
I would just think it was fake.
Wouldn't you, Morgan?
Yeah.
You saw like really high priced, new makeup.
It's supposed to be, you know, whatever the highest quality is.
And it's like four bucks.
Yeah.
If it's like resale on Amazon, I'd be like, oh, this is probably not real.
Okay, well, that's it.
I'm going to the Arkansas basketball game tonight.
Woo pig.
Love for a win.
Eddie's going.
I'm going with you.
Taking your son.
Yeah.
I mean, I bought a bunch of tickets for all my family, but nobody can go.
They got basketball practice.
And tickets for like in general admission only Saturday.
Yeah, so I got six tickets, man. For five bucks. It was awesome.
But you guys are with us, right? Yeah, yeah. So you're just going to leave those five bucks alone.
I mean, it's their general. Come to sit with us, yeah. Sure. No, yeah, it's the first round.
Should I scalp them outside? For $3? Maybe. It makes some money.
Anyway, we're going to the game tonight. I'll be on the Paul Feinbaum show, which is a national radio show and also on SEC network
television at like 530.
We're going to be on that? You got a, yeah. It's just you.
I don't know. I can ask.
If you guys want to check that out.
All right, go Arkansas.
Look for a win.
That would be fun. Look for us on TV, maybe.
Don't look for Eddie on.
Find Baum, though.
I won't be on there.
All right. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
