Morning. Standing next to somebody yesterday and they had pretty bad B.O. And it just existed, right? It was kind of like, this is going to be a dated reference. But on Charlie Brown, there was a guy named Pigpen. You could see like the dirt, like around them. Yeah. That's kind of what the, and I know the person, and I like the person,

they had no idea that they smelled this bad. And I don't look at them and judge them, but I wonder then when I think about me, like, is that ever happening and no one's telling me? one's telling me like do I ever just smell so bad and and then someone leaves and goes and like man do you got smell bobby like this one of my biggest fears I don't mind if it's musty like I've been working out that is what it is and matter of fact I don't think I put on deodor this morning I think I rolled out of bed rushed in here and but if I'm like somewhere and it's thick I don't want to know then but I just want to know I don't know I don't know maybe I don't want to know maybe I don't

I don't want to ever know. Maybe if you can never tell me, that's fine. But I never want to find out. But I just wonder if he knew or where he came from because it was, it was just, it was really, really strong. And it wasn't on purpose. Like, Matthew McConae, Eddie and I have a couple times. Very stinky. Very stinky. Like on purpose. It's just how he rolls. It's not that he wants to stink. It's just he isn't going to do anything to keep him from stinking if he's stinking. But it was the whole situation yesterday. So there was that. So if you're ever going to tell me, make sure that at some point I would have known anyway. Okay. Got it? Yeah. Because if you can get away with not telling me, I'd never find out, that's all good, too.

It's one of the two ways. Matthew and Virginia Beach, you're on the show. What's up, Matthew? What's the most exotic pet y'all've ever had? Like chinchella, bunnies, ferrets, stuff like that. Is it a bunny exotic? I mean, we had bunnies as kids. They never lasted that long.

I had a couple hairless rats, and they got stuck in the walls for a while. finally got most of the amount gave them to a couple listeners really yeah did you buy that at the store like at the pet store? Uh huh Huh and they were pretty cool I just

Were they though? No they weren't They were pretty cool Yeah I had a couple hairless rats My great aunt had a monkey Nice And it used to poop in its hand It got old

I used to poop in its hand It got to people and then bites That was the weirdest That's how you know the monkey got old Yeah man I felt bad for that monkey As I got old older. But other than that, I don't think I ever really had a crazy pet. You?

I had hamsters, and then I used to catch lizards, and I had a little lizard cage. I'd keep them in, but then I guess I'd set them free. That's just a kid. A chameleon. A kid in America, you know? Eddie, you? I had a ferret for 10 years. Oh, I loved her. Her name was Stimpy. So, what's up with the ferret? What do you do? So, I mean, it lives like a cat. It poops in a litter box, and it's got like a little gerbil water feeder thing. Does it run free? Yeah, I would let it run in my room. That was the rule.

I couldn't let it run around the house. But I would carry it around. Like if I went to the mall or something, I would carry it around my shoulder. He would just hold out on my shoulder. Let's walk around. You wouldn't jump off? Almost like a pirate.

That's pretty cool. Pretty awesome. I have a bulldog. That's pretty exotic when it comes to having to pay vet bills. I'm being honest with you. Lunchbox, any crazy pets? My sister had gerbils. Started out with four,

and I don't know if you know anything about gerbils, but they multiply like gremlins, and we had about 20 of them. Oh, gross. 20 gerbils? Yes. That's a lot of gerbils. Matthew, why do you ask about exotic pets?

I recently, like, two or three weeks ago, I got two chinchillas, and then tomorrow I get two bunnies from my aunt, and then I already have two dogs. That's a lot of animals, bro. Yeah, 22 with the house. So, you got to pull them up somehow. I hear you, buddy. I had, when I was early 20s, one of the girls that I dated had snakes,

and then she would leave and go on vacation. and I'd have to keep snakes and feed the snakes. I'd have to go to the pet store and get little mice. Nope. And then you feed the snake, the mice. And then I just couldn't do it anymore. Well, Hart wouldn't let me feed it a live mouse, but then I would go get frozen mice.

No. What? They're frozen mice? Uh-huh. Yeah, but then I had to realize somebody had to freeze them. But then I had the thing where, well, somebody had to kill the cow, the hamburger you eat. There's a whole life growth journey I went on. But, well, Matthew, good luck with that.

I love y'all show. I listen to it every morning on my way to work. Thank you, man. Have a good day. You too Alright bye bye Hey speaking of stinking Here's this I just handed this

Do you know if you eat too much red meat It can make smell like rotten eggs Oh If you eat a lot of red meat Your body will produce A natural rotten egg type smell Like sulfur or whatever It says too much meat

Especially red can lead to a sulfurous odor Which smells like rotten A boy sulfur That's what it was Maybe had too many steaks that day You did eat a lot of steaks Yeah yeah yeah On the phone right now, Johnny in Fresno, California.

Johnny, good morning. What's going on? I just got your signed autograph, and I can't wait to put in the book for your children's book. Oh, yeah, coming out on the 14th, Stanley the Dog in his first day at school. And so what I did is, instead of signing a page and the book company just put it on the book for all the pre-orders, we had a special piece of art made that you can put in the book itself. And so I'm pretty excited. Do you have a kid, Johnny?

Yes, sir. I just had my daughter two weeks ago, so that's why I'm pretty excited to read it. Wow. How is it being a two-week-old dad? Honestly, it's pretty tiring, but I just want to let my wife know that, you know, I appreciate it because she's the one who wakes up at night, feeding the baby, because I go to work. You say pretty tiring, but your wife's waking up. What part's tiring if you're not waking up in the middle of the night?

Well, I kind of get the bottles ready sometimes, you know? Yeah. So she kind of goes through a couple bottles every two hours. I kind of get up and then like prep them and then just go back to sleep but I mean he's doing all the work You do get up in the middle of the night then Yeah but not too long

He gives himself credit and then he texts it away Then he gives it Hey Johnny I appreciate that And I hope you enjoy the book And congratulations on being a new dad Yeah thank you can I shout her out Yeah go ahead buddy Her name is Raylan

It's named after the country artist That's kind of the main reason The baby is named after the artist Raylan Yes. And why did you name it after Ray Lynn the artist? What about her has motivated you to do that? My brother-in-law and sister seen her perform out in Baker's, like, a few years ago, and then we're coming up with names, and then they mentioned that name to her,

saying that they've seen her, like, up close. So I was like, you know what, I love that name, and it's unique, so. So it's more about the unique name. The name and how cool it was more than who she is. Well, I mean, she's awesome, too. Yeah. He's great music. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

See, here's all of it. Here's all like you by Johnny. Gives credit, takes it away. Gives credit, takes it away. Now you see it, now you don't. All right, Johnny. Hey, congratulations, buddy. Appreciate your calling,

and hopefully one day we'll get out there. I'll get to meet you. Yeah, I would do. Thank you. All right, buddy. See you later. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailback.

Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been dating my boyfriend for five years now, and we just recently moved in together over a year ago. I'm 25, he's 26. We always talk about getting married and having kids to the point where I feel like we're already a married couple. All our friends around us have started their families

and or are getting married soon. When I bring up our future or getting married, he immediately gets annoyed and explains that this conversation pushes the proposal back. Okay. Okay. He always assures me that it's coming, but he's just waiting for the right time.

I don't want to be that nagging girlfriend or it's not like I'm begging this out of him. But there have been tons of perfect opportunities. But at the same time, if you really love me, why is he waiting so long? I cannot help but be insecure about this. I don't like bringing it up because I don't want to make him feel forced. And I do want to feel extra special when the time comes. I guess my question is, how long is too long to be waiting for him to take the next step in our relationship?

Sincerely, desperate Danielle. Okay, so this is what I'm going to say, at least for the time being. I think you need to pump the brakes on talking about it for about six months and not even don't even tell him that you're pumping the brakes because he may actually have something planned or maybe in the middle of planning something

and I don't think he should ever say well you're pushing the post back that should not be said but if you're pushing it he's like I just want her to like not know it's coming so my humble advice is just pump the brakes on asking

about getting married for the next four to six months. I'm going to take a wild gamble. I'm going to put chips down on the fact that I think he's going to propose to you relatively soon. Why? Why do you think that? Because they're living together. They've been together five years. They're talking about it. If they were talking about it and he was like, hey, I don't think we're there yet. Or I don't think, then I would not think the same. Okay. So he's thinking about it. He's trying to plan it. Just give him a little space on this. And then after whatever time, time you have set four to six months, have your date in your head on your phone, then you can ultimatum him after that, but give him some space to let him do what he says he's doing, which is

planning the perfect moment. So let him try to create that perfect moment. If that doesn't work, it's ultimatum time. Now, Eddie, your wife set the ultimatum with you. Yeah, we were engaged. We were dating for six years and then she finally did the poop or get off the pot. But I say I needed that. Because before the six years, I had no idea. I was like, I think she kind of likes this comfortable dating for six years' life. And you guys didn't have these conversations. Nope. Right.

And then finally, she's like, hey, are you going to ask me to marry you because I'm tired of waiting? Because if you're not, I'm out. Do you think she really would have been out? Yeah. I saw the look in her eyes. She was serious. Ray, did you get ultimatum? I did.

And I was told in June, you need to propose. And then June passed. And another June came around. And that one passed too. But I think it's six years. It was really with our families. was just starting to annoy a ton of people and I was like, all right, I need to actually just go ahead and propose. Because I did love Bezor. So I have been more romantic than I just need to go ahead,

you know? That should be a commercial, like for Zales or something, you know? When nothing's, but, okay, Ray, what is your advice then to her? My advice, six years is a limit. So once it gets there, something's got to happen. I feel you're fine there, up until six. Listen, Daniel, nothing's going to change in six months anyway, meaning you're not going to break up, you're not going to get married like drastic to drastic nothing's going to happen in the next six months so just pull back let him do his thing and then if he doesn't do his thing then you do your thing which is hey buddy we've been together i'm giving you this ultimatum the end we've got your email and we read it on the air now it's about to close bobby's mailback yeah on the bobby bone show now

alicia silverstone alicia how are you good how are you a couple things here your podcast the Real Hill podcast. So what do you eat generally for you to stay healthy and for you to heal? Yeah. I stopped eating meat, dairy, sugar. Well, first it was just meat and dairy. And that did everything to begin with. But then I started to understand even more about health and how I could start eating

less sugar and less processed foods and really eat whole grains. I do a lot of relying on Tums and Aspirin and Red Bull. I assume Red Bull is not really on the list of things. I should probably be crushing daily. Exactly. Exactly. So that might be working for you right now, but I don't know how old you are giving you a couple more years. You're going to have some problems. I'm 22. But you're such a baby. Yeah, I'm just, I look a lot older because all that Red Bull and Thumbs probably. I'm just guessing though. You're not really 22. Are you? No, God, no. I'm like so. I can't see the face. You're so far away. You're at a big desk. Yeah, just trust me, it's a beautiful young looking face. It looks 22. Let me say this.

The podcast is called The Real Hill Podcast. Yeah. I do want to talk about the movie too because I love apocalyptic movies. Those are my favorite kind of movies where I wonder like after the apocalypse happened, could I survive? That to me is if it's a TV series or a movie, like that is my genre of movie as Lunchbox would say here on the show. And so The Last Survivor is that. It's in that world. Do you think after shooting this movie that you would be someone, because when you talk about how you eat and all the plants, I feel like you'd be pretty good at this already.

How would I survive? I have no idea. Yeah, would you? I mean, after doing the movie, are you like, man, I can actually do this? Or are you like, nah, I'm good. I like internet and running water? Living off the grid is very pleasurable for me. When the power goes out and everyone can't use it, it makes me very happy. So, yeah, I do, I think I'd be okay with all those things, living off the grid and managing like that. But our movie, Last Survivors, is really interesting and the relationships are really interesting. and my character has left her children to go live in the woods, you know, and this farm.

And I don't think I could do that. I wouldn't leave my baby. Okay. So I want to do this. If you're cool with it, I have a few general questions that I would like to ask you about your career. And it'll be very quick. Are you game? One of fun thing I want to tell you before you do that is that I can't believe that this little

movie, Last Survivors, that we made on a shoestring budget, has been number one on It was number one on Hulu for like an entire week. And at the same time, senior year, this fun movie I did for Netflix was number one on who on Netflix. So I had two number one movies at the same time. The other movie on Netflix, is that with Rebel Wilson? I'm just going from memory here. Yes. She's so funny. What is it like to be yeah, like if you're with somebody who's just hilarious or are people that we see that we think all they're hilarious in movies, they're really not that hilarious, not on the movie? Like, what is that dynamic like? Well, Rebel's just a really clever woman.

And she's so, when I, when we weren't shooting, we were just sitting there chatting. And she was a very deep, serious person. So yeah, I don't think she's walking around, just joking around all the time. She's very, she's got a lot of thoughtful things going on in her mind. I think she studied to be a lawyer. I think she was almost a lawyer. So anyway, I had a really good time with her. I just have a little cameo in the movie, but I love.

It made me laugh so hard this film. It's so fun. Here are my final few questions for you. Do you know, I'm going to, you can just say no and be like, that's a stupid question. Do you know your first acting credit listed on IMDB? Because I did like the research obviously, but I went like super generic. Do you know the first thing they list you as acting in? Nick and me?

It's the wonder years in 1992. And I've seen every episode. I do not remember you on the show. Do you have a memory of filming that show? I mean, 92, I mean, I'm sure you've done so much. I don't remember half the crap. I've done last month. I wonder if you remember a random wonder years episode from 92.

I do remember being in the hallway where I shot that and with Fred. Kevin on the show, I think, right? Kevin. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I just wondered if you knew that. That's number one. Number two, my number two question is. So, I guess I was in high school, Batman, Batgirl and Batman.

You're Batgirl and Batman. But that suit, that suit looks like it's super hard to move around and live in, So how hard is it to actually have to function in a suit that seems like it's wrapped around your entire body for 12 hours at a time? It sucked. We had to put, I think we had to put, either baby powder all over ourselves or we had these stockings underneath. I don't remember, but the whole thing was such an ordeal. And when you had to pee, it was such a pain in the butt to get the thing off. It was so epic. And yeah, not fun suit.

I'm sure they've improved on the suits since. And my final question is you speak French fluently from what I understand. And I have a French minor. Now, with my French minor, I know like six things. And that's all. But I would like to run a few of those six things by you if you are fluent in French. I am not fluent in French. I have no idea where you got that.

Let's try anyway, because I ain't either. So let's see what happens here. All right, here we go. Bonjour, Alicia. Bonjour, Bobby. She's already better than I am. She said this fact is made up on the internet. Just be fatigue.

How about this? How about this? Como telle you? Is that how are you? I don't know. I just remember saying it over and over again, but I don't remember. Arovovo. All I've got is, what I've got is kiss kiss past. Yeah, we're about the same.

She didn't speak fluently, guys. I just checked it out. Okay, here's what I want to say. And you have just been a delight to talk with and thank you. And so the two things I want you to check out, the Real Hill podcast, all the episodes, are out there. Episode 11 came out on the 26th. So it's out. They're all out now. Wow, they just all came out. So check them out. And then check out last survivors on Hulu, which is really great.

The look and the feel of the movie far surpasses the money they spent on it. And that is a testament to how great a job you guys did. So Alicia, thank you for your time. If you can zoom in one more time on my face. I want to leave her with this, Eddie. Your Zoom. Yeah, check it out. You're so cute. Yeah, thank you. All right, there she is. Alicia Silverstone, everybody. Wow. All right, Alicia. Yeah. This guy walked into a Burger King and it was completely empty, meaning he was unlocked.

And he got in there and there's no one in there. Hello. Nothing. So how does that even happen? Well, one person showed up. Other people didn't. And that one person was like, I don't want to work. He quit.

Oh. So then nobody's working there and the door is unlocked. Okay. What is happening? So obviously been a lot of staffing shortages. I mean, my sister who manages a restaurant was, she was like, we can't get anybody to work. But for a Burger King,

not a shortage and outage of people outage. And so this guy walks in in Pittsburgh and nobody was there. He then went to the drive-thru, walked in all of it, completely empty. And I wonder if that were the case. I mean, I would think somebody was in the bathroom or something. Right, because I would just think

somebody is somewhere. Maybe go, hello in the bathroom? Nothing. Then do you just get a burger yourself? No. I don't know if you're hungry and it's all there? And there's some made back there by any chance. But here you go. Here's a clip. This is the moment that the be customer walked in. Shut up to this Burger King on Noble's Town Road, and there is nobody in here.

Nobody in here. Went to the drive through, nothing. Anybody here? Hello? That was wild. You have to go walk back to the kitchen. Imagine you're the owner or whoever runs that Burger King and you see this video and you're like, oh shoot, that's my store.

Well, the person eventually found out and went up and just ran it until they could get other people up there. So I went back in business. But that would be super cool. That was like getting locked in. like a Walmart or something overnight. You get to see things you probably shouldn't see as a normal person. There was a story about Shaq, and he was talking about to-go orders and tipping, and

Lunchbox has this weird beef with Shaq, that Shaq doesn't know that you have a feud with him. Right. But you do have a feud with him. He does a lot of things for show. He's so annoying. He just happens to be somewhere when everybody needs something. So Shaq was interviewed by Bleacher Report, and they asked him, hey, when you're out in public and you're not being Shaq to celebrity, like a normal dude.

Like, what do you do? Here's this clip. When I go to McDonald's and order foods and the kids bring it, I'll give them a $200 tip. I'm not about to go in there and cook it and do that. You're doing that for me. Appreciate your big homie, thank you. When I go to a restaurant with my voice, they're amazed that I don't skip the line. Hey, man, go to the front.

No, man, I'm not skipping that lady. I can't do it. Because remember, these people right here make this wall go around, not me. But it's my job to entertain them. And then when they pay, that's how I get paid. So it's all a certain ecosystem that can never be broken. I mean, is Shaq awesome or what? Yeah, I love it.

Imagine that you're cooking food and Shaq comes in and gives a $200 tip. That's awesome. That's how you go broke. How do you go broke? That's how you go broke if you have that much money. If you're giving $200 when you go to McDonald's, that's how you go broke. How do you know how you go broke? You guys talk about me, oh, you're going to be so, you know, financially irresponsible when you hit the lottery.

So now this is your beef with Shaq. Now he's financially irresponsible. No, that's what I'm saying. And you guys commend him for giving $200 every time he goes somewhere to eat. That's how you go broke. And then the fact that he doesn't skip the line, he's an idiot. Shack is worth almost a half a billion dollars. He's good.

So $200 to him is a penny. But every time he eats? So yes, you could tip a penny every time you eat. You could. Could you not? Doubt it. You couldn't tip a penny every time you eat it. Eat it.

Every time you eat it. You're going to eat. You're going to eat. Yeah, I can't do it. He's taking me with them. Shack seems awesome. But also the cool thing is he said this, and now he has to do it every time. He goes somewhere, done tip $200 bucks.

like, no, I didn't hear of that podcast. You need to give me $200. Your final thoughts, lunchbox. I'm just saying, Shaq's going to go broke and I don't believe. Did you not hear the comparison? Yeah, I heard it. His half a billion, that's one cent to you and how much you make. You know how quick half a billion can go?

You don't know how quick half a billion it can go. And I guarantee he skips the line. Okay. You guarantee it because? Because that's what celebrities do. So you can't guarantee it. All right. Well, I do.

You don't either. They don't let you. Sometimes. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox Tell me something good A few weeks ago Jada Sales finished her college degree

at Dillard College in New Orleans finished all her credits graduation day comes and she's like Uh-oh, I think my water broke and she has to be rushed to the hospital graduation day graduation day, you know, got the cap and gal laid out

she's ready to walk that stage so she can't be at graduation because she having a baby. Good news, healthy baby boy, her first child. Well, the president of the university found out about this. After graduation, he showed up at the hospital and presented her with her diploma. Oh, that's cool.

Man, imagine that. You're so pregnant and it's timing out with your graduation. You're probably every day leading up to it. Like, can you just waddle across the stage and get it and then have your baby? Yeah. Does this inspire you to go back and get yours? Nah. What will?

But you're only three hours short. I'm only three hours short. You're one class short. Because I need something cool to happen. The news. What if the news said they would cover you, they would do a story on you going back to college if they gave you that commitment? Like maybe we make a reality show out of it. Like, oh, God. You went from a new segment to a show.

Hey, that's not even worth an Instagram live much as a reality show. 40-year-old guy goes back to college. I join a frat at 40 just for three hours. For three hours? Yes. How cool would that be to see my campus life for a semester as a 40-year-old man father of three? Okay. Living that frat life.

But you would have to go hard. Oh, I'd go hard. If it's a reality show. Yeah. But what's going hard? Oh, I mean, I can't be to the wall. What does that mean?

Balls the wall? I don't know if I could say that. You're just saying like you would just party hard. Yeah. And I would just have to deal with the repercussions at home. You know, like real world, you fight with your roommates. Would your wife like you have a camera at home though? Probably.

And she'd be on camera with you. If I'm going to be on a reality show, yeah. All right. I'll pitch that. I like it. I don't know if you're the funniest guy to do it, but that's a funny idea. You can't, you can not get somebody else.

No, but what you need, though, is somebody who's also single and is also like trying to find love at the same time, partying, finishing school. If you take this concept and use someone else, he's going to be heartbroken. No, no, he can still be a creator. I'll get creative credit. No, not credit, money. Money.

I don't remember the credit. Give me that money's. Money's talk. Anyway, let's shout her out again. What's her name? Yeah, her name is Jada Sales. And then let's shout you out again. Lunchbox. What up. UTSA. But she went to Dillard College in New Orleans.

All right. We'll see if we can get the show off the ground. All right. I like it. All right. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

This woman has eaten nothing but potato chips for 23 years. That's all. How do you live? How does your body produce enough energy on just potato chips? A woman who lived on a diet of cheese and onion flavor potato. Oh. You know her breath. You know her body odor.

That can't be good. Aside from no. fuel? What does she smell like? But that's all she's had for 23 years. Cheese and onion flavor potato chips. What in the world? So she had her first meal after being hypnotized. She has only eaten chips since she was a toddler, 25 years old now. That's a parent thing then. This is a parent. Oh, yeah. Didn't give her food. No, they probably did, but then she refused and didn't want to, clearly, this is something psychological. If a kid refuses and they're seven, you still make them do it. That's right. Yes. I don't know.

she remembers being at school and having a potato chip in her lunchbox and she was like that was good so then that's all she ate and so after undergoing two two hour hypnotherapy sessions she's been able to enjoy her first taste of fruits and vegetables alongside other few other fruits so there you go 23 years of only eating potato chips man I just can't food wouldn't be a joy like I like food I like to eat food because I go I can't wait to eat it because this steak is going to taste good or this chicken is going to taste good or I like nerds. This water from Sonic when nerds in it's going to taste good. But if you only eat the same thing over and over again, nothing, probably, it's all the same, right?

It's like breathing air. They do have a lot of different flavors. No, no, but she only has cheese and onion. I know that, but if I were doing it, I'd hit that barbecue. There's a picture of her. By the way, she should have the biggest sponsorship deal with this brisk. I mean, she should make Jared's subway deal.

That should be nothing to the money she makes for Walker's cheese and onion chips. Crazy. By the way, I hear the lunchbox eats food out of the garbage in here. Have you heard lunchbox you were seeing eating food out of the garbage in this room? No. Amy, you put some food in the trash? Yes. So it was in your office. I threw it away. I was doing some work in there. And then I came back into the main studio to leave.

But on my way out, I passed back by your office and I see lunchbox pulling my food out of the trash. I kept walking because I didn't even want to embarrass him. I didn't want to know what was going on. But then I thought, well, I'll just, you know, send it in his prep later and ask. So why are you smiling so big? I mean, I did eat it. Hold on. So what did you see, though?

How did you know she put food in the trash? Because I was walking in because I needed to use your office for something. And she was getting done and she had food and she put it in her bag and threw it in the trash. She was wrapping it all up, threw it in the trash. And I was like, man, there's still like four bites left. Like, why would you throw that away? And so I pulled it out. Of what?

It was like a salad. Oh. You went into the garbage and ate a salad that she had already eaten and thrown away? I would have kept eating too, but I was in a hurry and headed to a meal. and I couldn't take food with me because it would just be sitting in my car. So he's not wrong. There was still good bites left, but still that's disgusting. Look, I know Amy.

I know Amy's not spitting on her food or putting in her mouth and spitting it out. So I feel like Amy's a pretty healthy person. Doesn't like- You went into the garbage and ate a half eating salad. Yeah, I did. Yeah. Did you not have food? Not in any food, man. Does he do this?

Do you watch us eat? See, when we put food in the trash, and then if you liked what we had, go in after it. I will. Yeah. I pay attention. That's so weird. But it was a free meal. It was really a free snack.

It didn't fill me up. But it was, you know, it's hiding me over until I can get somewhere to eat. So you found somebody else put food in the trash. I told you your TikTok angle was always to go into the trash and eat food. I know. I know. I didn't even film it. I didn't know if you had no idea.

Anybody saw me. And once you started talking about, I was like, dang, I got caught. That's so weird. On the phone, Michael in Delaware. Hello, good morning. Michael, what's going on? A couple weeks ago, you were listening. sing the top five country karaoke songs, and you had said that country roads isn't a real

country song. How could you say that? That's like the best country song ever. I agree. I say that when people are classifying that song, generally, they don't classify that as a country song. So if people are going, hey, list out your top 1,000 country songs, I don't know that most people would put country roads, because it's the most country of all country songs, which,

by the way, controversial back in the day when John Denver was a country artist. You know, he won the big award for, I believe, Entertainer of the Year, and they burned his, when they announced he wanted the CMAs, they burned the sheet of paper. He was on stage. Huh. Yeah, so he was controversial, even though it got no more country than John Denver

in this little ditty right here. Here you go. Yes. Let's see if we can do it. Come on. Almost heaven. Oh. West Virginia.

Blue Ridge Mountain. That's all I got, river. It is. Dono's leading, known than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing like the breeze. Country roads, take me home. Are we in the right spot? Yeah.

To the place. Everybody. I belong. West Virginia Mountain Mama Take me home Country roads All right lunchbox freestyle go

Take me home I'm on the train That's where I want to go Mama I'm coming home That's Ozzy Osbourne Keep going Get on a bus Get on a plane.

We're going insane. Oh, good rhymes. I'll see you again. All right, here we go. Back to the hook and go. Country roads. Take me home to the place. West Virginia, Mountain Mama.

Take me home. Country roads. Big emotional ending, lunchbox. Big emotional ending. I'm so excited. No, that's saved by the bell. That's Jesse. Jesse Spanel.

I'm so, so scared. Hey, Michael, you aren't going to get an argument for us. Because I agree with you. I was just saying most people don't consider that a country song. But, you know, with lyrics like, Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountain, Shandah Do a River, come on. That's the country as it gets, right?

Mm-hmm. How you like that performance there for you? A little special. That was for you. Yeah. I was like a 4 out of 10. Oh. Oh, we've even dedicated it to you.

Do you know what will sound good, though? What does sound really good? Click when I hang up on them. How'd that sound? Didn't hear anything. Gave that a 10 out of 10. Yeah, exactly. Port our hearts there, and that's what we get.

Thank you, Michael, for that call. Appreciate that. Up on my podcast, the Bobbycast, I had Ali Koleen on, and she's been into perform. Great artist, but we talked about her growing up as Garth Brooks' daughter. and so she talked about how she was exposed to invasion of privacy at an early age because everybody would stop her dad all the time. I learned very early that when I got picked up from school,

okay, it's a 15-minute drive home. I get to go home in 45 minutes. And that's because there are going to be people at the gate. And my dad is the artist of all artists and is going to talk to them. And we're just going to have to sit in the car and wait on him to go and talk to these people that I didn't really understand why they were outside the gate. And then I get to go home and play. I knew that the grocery store was going to take a long time.

I learned consistently through my whole life just that won a huge invasion of privacy from fans that, again, my parents, I don't think, had a clue how to navigate and navigated it in such an amazing way. I think a lot of lost on the fact, too, that Garth just said, hey, I'm going to check out for a while and go home and raise my kids. And that's what he did. And, yeah, it's really difficult at times as she talks about that, especially when you're super famous and living in Tulsa. It's not like there's a culture built there like Los Angeles, even Nashville or New York. He would just go to soccer games. And as cool as it seems, it was tough for a kid to live in that and that be their life constantly. So it's just a great podcast on her talking about her life as an artist,

but also what it was like growing up with having Garf Brooks as her dad. So check it out. It's on the Bobbycast. I hope you guys go listen to it. Just search for it and subscribe if you'd like. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So for me, avocados are crazy because you, buy them at the store and you're like, oh, these are going to be good for a while. And then you

take them home, next thing you know, they're no good anymore. How long are they supposed to be good for? I mean, a mine, they just ripens super fast. It depends. So I have to like throw them in the fridge. But I mean, I don't know the standard shelf life, but mine in a couple of days from buying them when they're super hard to when they're super squishy and soft. So I saw in TikTok there's this viral hat going around where if you just store them in water, like if you get Tupperware, fill it up with water, throw an avocado in there, it'll stay fresh for weeks. But cold water? Is temperature matter? I don't think so.

I mean, you could just put it in the water. On the warm water. Any store in anything in warm water and it's going to stay safe. Well, they're saying that as long as it's in the water, it'll stay fresh for weeks. And I'm like, oh, this could be a helpful hack. Well, the FDA has put out a warning saying, do not do this at home because it can make you violently ill. Well, it's a risk, right? Even if it worked 70% of the time, and people are like, wow, look at this, it does work.

And maybe they even know how to look at the avocado to see if it is still right. diet and healthy, but it's at 30% that's going to rock people and make them super sick. Yeah. That's big. But anything on TikTok that's like, hey, you guys, here's a hack for how you can eat or how you can preserve. I wouldn't follow it unless you like go two, three layers deep and researching it because I see all the baby food people are making because the baby food shortage. And it's like, all, guys, what you do?

First of all, you get some tied detergent and it's nerds. And then you mix that with a little bit of apples sauce, voila. And you're like, wait, what? Babies can't eat that? But that's on tick. It's that kind of stuff on TikTok, right? So be careful. All right, what else?

So this summer, families that are looking for, you may be an open community pool or a guarded public beach to hang out at. They might not get to because 100,000 pools and beach areas might be shut down because they don't have lifeguards for them. 100,000. What's the latest? We're still trying to figure out when the tryouts are and how we're going to get me there. Tryouts to go be a lifeguard? Yes, correct. Are you trying to win an Olympic gold medal?

No, you have to be certified. Can't you just go and have your own little deal? Like a one-on-one? No, somebody has to watch it. One-on-one. Oh, yeah, I can probably figure that out. That's what we're trying to figure out. Logistics.

Eddie, are you part of the American Lifeguard Association? I think I was at one point. I love that song from Gar. It's the American Life Guard Association. All right, what else? So, Gabby Barrett, she needs help naming her baby boy, who's due later this year. And she asked, like, her fans to submit baby names in her Instagram stories.

She wrote that she would prefer something Southern or biblical. So I didn't know if we had any ideas. we could like throw in the hat. The weird thing about Gabby is, and I like Gabby, and I've known Gabby for a long time. We've worked together on American Idol. She's from Pittsburgh,

and she kind of has a southern accent now. And that's always a little. She wants a southern baby name, too. I get it. I mean, her husband is from Texas. I worked with him too on Idol, and maybe that's what it is. Is she on the south side of Pittsburgh?

That's a good question, because if she is, the accent would make sense a little bit. Let's see. How about Jesus? Oh, but it's got to be like southern. Southern. That's hardcore biblical.

G-A-H-D. God. Oh, wow. But G-A-H-D. That way it is not sad. This is our son, G-A-H-D. Or G-A-W-D. God.

That's like slang. Mine's like actual, like Ezekiel. God. I like that name and that bread. Ezekiel? Yeah. Okay. All right.

I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. There's a game ward named Jake. He's got a dog named Coda, and man, you want them on your team because if somebody goes missing, they're in action.

Last week, an 11-year-old girl went missing, and they found her within an hour. And by they, I mean, Jake shows up with Coda, and Coda sniffs her out and finds her. Then, last Sunday night, they were called in because there was a 77-year-old woman who'd been missing since last Saturday. You're talking about almost a week. So Coda picked up her scent, like smelled her clothes, and then went into the woods and found her behind her house, deep in the woods, severely dehydrated but alive, and she's going to be fine. So you have a game warden and a dog. This is like a crime fighting show. This is like Turner & Hooch part too.

That's pretty awesome that dog can do that. Can smell something? Yeah. And then go and find a human. I mean, my dog only sits three out of five times. Sits three out of five times. Much less find somebody. I did teach Eller, though.

She's now learning tricks. And Eller was a dog we rescued. that was super aggressive. And I wrote about this in my Instagram. When we rescued her, she was probably too young to be away from her mom, but they also couldn't find her mom.

So found her on the street. We took her, she bite and attacked everything. Humans, dogs, walls. We tried to train her, no luck. We had a trainer come to the house and tried to train all of us. No luck, super aggressive. We went to an aggression specialist

who told us elder would never be able to stay at our house, because of Caitlin and myself and Stanley because she wouldn't stop attacking Stanley. And he's just a bulldog. He's like, what is happening here? My life was awesome until this happened. So they were like, you have to get rid of the dog.

And so to Caitlin's credit, she was like, well, there's no chance we're getting rid of Ella. We just adopted her. So we've had Ella for like a year and three months now. It's not the same dog. She's not aggressive toward anything. We can give Stanley a treat in front of her.

She'll just sit and chill and wait. It's, I mean, it literally is a whole different dog in that her presentation, not aggressive, no aggression, nothing. It's just now that I think she feels love and that she feels like we're going to be there for her and she's going to get her. She's good. She chills. She turns over and lets her belly be rubbed and is not aggressive at all.

She'll bite Stanley on the head, but only like trying to get them to play. And we even allow that because there's no aggression in her at all. So it's an awesome story. We work with a place called Wags and Walk here in Nashville. And she's no CODA, but she might. might be. Hey, one day. One day she might be like Co-ed it. That's what it's all about right there. That was tell me something good. All right, this hour we're going to get started in building a home for a hero, probably about 20 minutes or so. We'll talk to Navy Petty Officer second class,

Anthony Thompson, who was injured while deployed in Iraq and he's at a rough goal of it, but we feel like it's our job to help him. So we're going to talk to him and hopefully inspire you to help as well. So that'll come up in like 20 minutes or so. Right now, let's go over. and get in with Amy's Morning Corny. The Morning Corny! What do you call a middle-aged dinosaur? What do you call a middle-aged dinosaur? My back is Soros.

Okay. That was the Morning Corny! On Friday, we're going to be releasing our patriotic pimp and joy line, and what we're going to do is we're going to build a home for a hero. So we're about to have Anthony Thompson on the phone. Navy Petty Officer, second class Anthony Thompson. He cannot speak because of injury. So his wife will be talking with us.

Now, the story about Anthony is that in 2007, he was deployed in Iraq. Him and seven of his Marines were standing post at a bridge that ran over a six-lane highway. The bridge was struck with an IED. That detonated. All eight men were thrown in different directions. Anthony was thrown 25 feet in the air and then landed 50 feet on the ground below the bridge on top of a bunch of rubble, concrete rubble. So he has a diffuse axonal injury,

which is a severe traumatic brain injury, as well as a spinal cord injury. He's confined to a wheelchair and he is non-communicative, which is why we're going to talk to his wife, but he's there too. So he has a purple heart. He has so many things,

so many awards that he has earned. And our goal, because we don't keep any of this money, when we release this on Friday, is for you to have something awesome, for you to have something that's a talking point, to share the message of Pimp and Joy, and also for us to rebuild Navy Petty Officer second class Anthony Thompson's house from the inside out.

Because if you're in a wheelchair and you're just living in a normal house, that has got to be very difficult for the family. That's got to be very difficult for everyone involved. So let us now go over and talk to Anthony Thompson and his wife, Yvonne. Let me start with this, Yvonne. So tell me a little bit about both you and Anthony and how you guys met. We met through a mutual friend. at a bar. I called his friend up and said, hey, I'm out with friends. So they met us up. Our friend

introduced us and we got to talking. And from that point on, we talked every single day after that. So you get married in 2005. In 2007, he was deployed in Iraq. And I wonder, as a wife, what do you feel when your husband is in a foreign country, I mean, extremely foreign, you know, fighting every day for our freedom, but just fighting every day? It takes your, I mean, your heart just goes with them. Everything that you do, or at least everything that I did, was a little bit, just constantly something's missing. You just feel like constantly something is missing. So in 2007, while he was deployed in Iraq, that is when his injury happened. Can you tell me how you found out and what they told you? So I was actually teaching high school Spanish. I was teaching high school Spanish in California right outside the base. he was stationed at. I had gone out to pick up lunch. I came back to my classroom and my phone rang from a number from base. I answered it and he's like, I need you to take a seat. And I was like,

and I immediately was just begging him to tell me what had happened. And so what did he tell you? That he had been involved in what they called an SVB-I-E-B, which is a suicide. vehicle-borne improvised explosive device. They didn't have much information as far as his real injury, like the extent of his injuries, I guess I should say. They told me he had lacerations on his legs, arms, on his face, and that he was being medevac to a different battalion aid station in Iraq, that they would call me back with more information. He obviously lived, but at this point, how is Anthony's health? Anthony, surprisingly, is extremely healthy.

I mean, he's very limited in... He's on a very strict diet. He's on it. Our son says he's on a very strict diet. He's fed through a G-tube, you know, a tube that goes directly into his stomach and he gets his nutrition and medications that way. He's unable to speak. He's unable to do anything for himself, you know, brushing his teeth.

go into the bathroom, you know, everything is, he depends on someone else to do for him. Was it a spinal cord injury? So he suffered a spinal cord injury when he landed on the concrete rubble, and then he suffered a severe traumatic brain injury as well. You know, to hear your positivity, and I say, hey, is he healthy? You said, yeah, it's quite healthy or whatever he said. And then you talked about all the difficulties that he is still having. It just says a lot to how you guys are approaching this, again, with such a positive

of outlook because if that were me, I would say I'm not healthy at all, but to hear you two being so strong and to go, yes, he is very healthy and he is fighting this, but he's very healthy. I think that says a lot about what both of you guys are doing for each other right now. We have to go into all of this. We kind of have to approach all of this by constantly looking at the silver lining. I was 20 weeks pregnant with our son, AJ, when Anthony was injured. He was born five months after his dad was injured. This is the only way he's ever known his dad. And that has probably been the biggest challenge, you know, raising a son with his dad

injured the way that he is. But given that, our son is honestly, and don't get a big head, AJ, he's our joy. He's our reason to keep going. And he's our reason to always look for the silver lining. Yvonne Thompson's on with us, who is the wife of Anthony Thompson. Anthony is confined to a wheelchair as non-communicative. So she's talking for him. He was also awarded a Purple Heart of many other medals and ribbons,

and we'd spend a whole segment here reading all the awards that he has earned. Tell Anthony we're so appreciative of him. We're so appreciative of you for spending some time with us. And let us get to work, and we hope to talk to you really soon about this. Thank you so much, Bobby. We so appreciate it. Yeah, thank you. And cannot wait to talk to you again because I got a feeling when we do talk again,

that's going to be great news. I hope so. All right, Yvonne. And tell your son, don't get a big head. I'm watching too. All right. I'm also going to be watching. Okay.

All right. Hey, Yvonne, Anthony, thank you. Thank you, Anthony, for everything you've done for this country. And we're now going to get to work for you. And I hope you guys. Thank you so much. You too. All right.

Bye, bye, bye. We're going to do it as a team. We're going to help him. So Anthony Thompson, Navy Petty Officer, second class, Anthony Thompson, as a show, the people in this room, the people listening to this, we want to help rebuild his home. I mean, think about that.

An IED boom. And he's so lucky to be alive, but he is going through so much and we actually can help him. Again, on Friday, bobbybones.com, nine central. So that would be, let's do the math here,

10 Eastern, 9 Central, 8 Mountain, 7 Pacific. There you go. Yeah. I feel like I was running a marathon. Amy's the person with the water right there. There you go, you can do it. We're going to help.

to do this together for him. So you guys be on and be ready to go. And we're going to help him out. And that's what we do on this show. All right. Thank you.

Oh, no, too early. But does it wake them up? Depends. If they're smart, they do not disturb on. Dan Smyers, Dan and Chee. He wakes up early-ish, right? Yeah, I think he's an early riser. He's like a rock star but wakes up early.

And like eats vegetables and stuff. Right. Yeah. And rescues dogs. Find to text them. Yeah. All right. Why? It's something. If he yawns in a reply, I know.

No, I just, we have different lives here where we wake up so early that when it becomes this hour, it's like noon. And we just go willy-nilly at the day. Call them people, knocking on doors. And so it's just a different lifestyle we have. Okay, let's talk about this because Amy comes into the studio freaking out this morning because she's like, I think the cops are coming to my house. Did they come to your house? Yes. What happened? Well, I found out after.

the fact that they did in fact arrive. So my phone wasn't plugged in all the way, so you know, I charge my phone at night and I go, but the outlet in the wall, it wasn't plugged into the wall, but I didn't know that. So you charged your phone into nothing. So I'm thinking all night it's charging.

Not only that, I decide to listen to, you know, some noise making stuff, which killed my phone. Like, it made it die way sooner. And I guess in the middle of the night, my phone died. My alarm to go off, I'm shocked, I made it here on time. And so I had about five minutes to get ready and get out the door.

And I opened the door to run to the car and my house alarm goes off. But it doesn't go, eo-wee-wee-wee-you-wee-it's like more of a silent alarm. It's more subtle at first. It's like, it's like giving you the however long to enter your code. Oh, yeah, like 60 seconds. Yeah. Only problem is I don't know the code for the keypad. I have an app on my phone for my alarm.

You don't know the code inside your house in case your phone's? I thought I did. But when you enter it wrong, into the keypad. It's not like that. But don't they call you and go, hey, your phone's going off. What's your password? Oh, that's true. Remember?

This is the, all of this goes back to the fact that my phone is dead. So, but I, if I can, again, if I can just get out the door, I won't be late to work. Because what happens if we're late to work? You have to go home. Exactly. We get sent home. And I'm like, I am not going to be sent home and I'm not going to be late. On an instant like that, though, that's one.

Yeah, but I had no way to call you. That's true, too. That's true, too. Oh, no. Go ahead. So I just, I actually am questioning my judgment at this point. But this should also show you how dedicated I am to getting here on time. Because this alarm just starts blaring.

Like it is loud. Like basically the police are coming. Wait, you can hear it and you drive off? Oh, I get in my car and I'm like, you know what? I'm sure, like, my kids are sleeping. Nobody's woken up at this point. And I'm like, well, okay, my husband's not there. And so I back out of the driveway and I had to work.

And I'm like... With the alarm going on? Are you out of your mind? What was I supposed to do? My phone was dead. So listen... What do is you do? you go on and plug your phone in, it takes about two minutes for the little battery to come back on.

Probably longer. Then you have one percent. And then when you get that one percent, you call up here and be like, hey, my house alarm's going off. I'll be a few minutes late. Yeah, I've been thinking about this because, again, questioning my judgment. But I feel like we're all such nervous wrecks about being late to work that I went into like, fight or flight. And I... You're not being robbed. I took off. I know. You went flight. That's funny. I went flight. Like the anxiety I felt around, first of all, my alarm not going.

off. I think I was already just woke up in that mode. And then I was doing, I was in survival, whatever I needed to do to take care of myself, which included me leaving my house while the alarm is blaring. So the cops came to your house. Yeah, so they did. But you're not there.

I know. But we have someone that eventually... Tear gas or tear gas and it kicking the door down. I had someone arriving at the house to eventually help out with the kids and stuff. And so when she got there, the cops were there. And she was like, oh, I hadn't even had a chance to call her to tell her. What happened?

What's happening? You didn't get here and charge your phone? I did, but it takes 20 minutes for me to drive to work. And my phone was dead the whole time because I don't have a charger in my car. Oh, my goodness. I know. How do you not have a charger in your car? I am not feeling like a responsible adult right now.

But trust me, I am. Just not today. I just can't believe you left the house with the alarm going. But who got here on time? No, I hear you. I don't even care about that. What about your kids who are... They didn't wake up.

Oh, my goodness. Even though an alarm's going off? Thank you. goodness. I mean, now I'm worried, like, if there's a fire. So what did they wake up to? The cops going, hey, you okay? No, I think, well, I don't know if Shannon, who helps us, I don't know if she got there, like a writer out at the same time. I don't know how it happened, but I, she texted me, she's like, so the police were here this morning and like, yeah, yeah, I figured that might happen. What? So, but you got here and charge your phone. And that's when I communicated with her.

On whose charger? I brought mine from the wall and then plugged it into here. But you didn't plug it into your car because you can take the... Something, the raw, it takes this special cord in my car and You got a cassette player? I'm not. Trust me, I know. Cutless. 88 cutlass?

Didn't allow that or what? My car has the USB. And you know how new Apple charges have that teeny tiny because Apple likes to change everything and make it difficult? And my car doesn't have that. Well, you're okay.

Everything's good. Cops. No charges. You're all clear. Yeah, except for if the police happen to be listening to the show right now and they realize that's my house,

they're probably thinking, what kind of a mother are you? I don't think it's just the police that think that. I know, and now I'm telling the world. But I'm admitting that sometimes when we're not in our rational brain, we make decisions. Nobody was going to get hurt in the process. It doesn't make you a bad mom.

It just makes you a human who didn't make a good decision. But you at times... But I was frantic. But you at times forget or disregard... Where are you going with this? Human life? Not human lives. My children?

No. Okay, good. The ability to make quality decisions. What? But I got here on time. I know. I know, but your priorities were a little out of whack. The time you left your car running for like three hours when you went in the garage, he just left running, remember?

Well, I didn't know what was running. I didn't know. You don't know what you don't know. That's true. What was I supposed to do? Anyway, so if you happen to have something like this happened to you today, don't worry. You're not alone. I hope you are alone.

And it's not happening a lot. But that's a good story. Nobody was heard. I like it. Nobody was heard. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with us. Yeah, because I could have kept this all to myself. Yeah, you could have just plugged your phone in for, I mean, for three minutes at the house.

Listen, though, but all of this was happening because my phone died and my alarm didn't go off. That's the irresponsible part. I didn't check to see that my charger was plugged into the wall. So if I had called here and said, hey, I'm going to be late because I didn't wake up because my alarm never went off. No, that's not what you say. Hey, I'm going to be late. My house alarm was going off. and cops are coming over here.

Yeah, but I went to the origin. The origin is that I let my phone die, and that's irresponsible. Okay. And I needed it to get here. We'll go home. So when you throw the cops in the late story, we're good. Yeah, as long as you can prove,

I need a sign slept by the cops going, I was at your house. Okay. Oh, I should have done that. Let's go over and talk to Jenny and Virginia, who's on the phone right now. Appreciate that. Jenny, what's going on? Hey, how are you? Pretty good.

What can I do for you? Yeah, I was just listening a little while ago when Yvonne was on the phone. And I listen you guys every morning, by the way. And it gave me the chills because the name just sounded familiar at Rungabelle. And as I was driving, I remembered if we met them in the hospital. And I'm trying to remember, but I think it was late 2008, early 2009. And they're an amazing family. And you guys are amazing for what you're doing for them.

And I just wanted to say thank you. Well, we appreciate that call. You know, Anthony is someone that served our country. and he got the bad end of that deal. I mean, times a thousand. IED went off. He's in a wheelchair. Can't speak.

They have such a great attitude. I don't think I would, if I'm being honest with you. I don't think I would. So for us to come on this show and do it together. Together doesn't mean this room, and I ever say do it together.

I mean the people will listen to the show because I think if you listen to the show, you know, you're a certain type of person like we are. And on Friday, we'll put our pimping, line up and we don't keep any of that money and our goal will be to rebuild that house he's in a wheelchair we want to make it as easy for him to live his life normally day to day as possible you know we're not trying to build him a rocket car or you know i don't know it's not any frill type thing it's

just a home where he can actually live as normal of a life as possible because i think he deserves that and i bet you think he deserves that too not not you jenny i'm on her i'm talking about the listeners of the show, yeah. So what we're going to do, if you miss a segment, go back and listen to the podcast, but Navy Petty Officer Second Class Anthony Thompson was on with us. He had a bad injury in 2007 left him in a wheelchair, non-communicative. And so because of that brain injury and a spinal cord injury, he is able to, you know, be a dad and love his wife, but he's not really able to, you know, move around as well as we would like for him to be able to in his own house. So we're going to do that. We're going to rebuild his house. It's going to be awesome. 9 a.m. Central time.

on Friday, get your Pimp and Joy stuff, and we'll do it again. We've built five. This will be our fifth one. Is our fifth one? And most of them have been ground up houses, but this is going to be a complete. They're going to gut the whole thing and make it ADA certified for him to fit his needs. And it is patriotic Pimp and Joy Line. So red, white and blue, fitting for a hero, a veteran that deserves it, but also you'll get it in time for Fourth of July if you want something to wear.

But the contractor works quick here. The one of our house? It's like 20 years. You get one little barn thing done. But this one's fast. Yeah, I bet he's a lot better than it. And to clarify, it's not like us, like out there building it or like hiring contractors. Like, it's a legit.

I think my barn have been built better quicker if you guys have been out there working on it. No, it's a quality organization building homes for heroes. And we trust them with everything. And so every dollar that we make goes to them and they're putting it to good work. There we go. So I appreciate that called Jenny. Thank you for allowing me to reshine that light on it. Hello, hello.

And let's go over and do the most important segment of the day. Here are your big stories. Bobby's big. Stories. A man threw a grenade into an Amazon delivery truck in Oklahoma City last week. What? Thankfully, no one was hurt. No arrests had been made. Here you go from K-F-O-R, delivery driver.

Had a terrifying encounter in Oklahoma City on Monday. Around 3.30 p.m., the police were called. Said, hey, there's been an accident. When they arrived at the scene, they found an Amazon delivery truck that had crashed into a mailbox and a parked vehicle. I probably would have crashed, too. someone thrown a grenade in the back of the truck. I just jumped out of the truck.

Yeah. And then let, hey, truck, I'll check in later. We'll meet up after this. The driver told investigators he was turning around when he drove past a man and heard something. Hit the floor of his truck. Like inside of it. And so, he looked back and he saw a grenade rolling around on the floor of the truck. Oh, my gosh.

The victim stated he just opened the driver door and jumped out. He did jump out. He sustained minor injuries to his knees After hitting the ground He said I didn't park the van I just let it drive off I completely get it Luckily nobody was hit like a human wasn't there

But the van crashed into a mailbox And a parked car The victim said he went back to the van And then tossed the grenade out of the van He touched it Well at that point I think it'd have been sitting there a while I agree I'd have just called in the robots A long squad or just never called anybody

And quit Amazon and left the other Moving and had a new life All that could have happened I changed my name I'm out of there But that's That's crazy. No arrests have been made in the case.

Probably, and this is not a probably you can mess with, but probably it was an old grenade from back in the day, and somebody's doing a little joke. But that's not something that you probably about. Or a toy grenade maybe? Toy probably plastic and easy to see. I've just seen some like World War II grenades. Ray's Cologne, spice bomb.

It's in the shape of a grenade. Ray, you have a cologne that's in the shape of a grenade? Yeah, you can't take it through air. reports. It's called spice bomb? Even after all this time, they haven't changed the casing of it. Yeah, because the girl version of it is called flower bomb. And it's a bomb?

Looks like a bomb? It just looks like a grenade. But you would think now they would change the bottle. Yeah. After all. It doesn't have like a little thing that you pull. It's like a Wiley Coyote bomb. It's a circle with a big fuse coming out of it.

Harry's House by Harry Style sold 521,000 copies. It's the number one album this week. and here is some of this. That's from Billboard, so congratulations to Harry Styles. There have been reports of him running about 30 minutes south of here, just running on a golf course. Running? Really?

Yeah. I don't know why staying here as much as he does. People are like, hey, we just saw Harry Styles run by again. And I'm like, don't film me now. I'm going to be on the lookout. I won't find him. Yeah, me too. Let's see.

An Australian man gets a winning lottery ticket for his birthday. and then splits the money with the gift giver. An unidentified man from Australia was given a winning scratch-off lottery ticket. Scratched it 100,000 bucks, and he said, you know what, I'm going to split it with you since you gave it to me. 50,000, 50,000. Lunchbox, would you ever do that in a million years? No, I never split it. Never, because it's a gift to me, you gave to me, you should be happy for me.

If I gave you a scratch-off ticket and it was worth, let's just say, $100,000, would you at all go, hey, I think you should have a piece of this, $5,000, $10,000? No. Because you gave it to me as a gift. That's true, but I'm saying what if I gave you a ticket to him 100,000? How much are you giving me? Probably 5,000. Would you take it? Absolutely.

I'd be ticked you only give me five. That's from the lot. A coyote sneaks into a California home through a doggie door. That's crazy. Because we have doggy doors. And I always think, what if an animal comes in through that door, like a big animal? Because Eller's pretty tall, so the doggie door is a pretty tall doggy door. but a coyote was able to sneak into a California home

by using that door. It was roaming around the Woodland Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles, saw the dog door and jumped over a little fence into the doggie door and inside the home. And there is a video, and it's inside the house. And so she's like, I will no longer allow the dogs to go outside alone.

So we close ours in the evening and all the way through the night. So it's not open at nighttime because we feel like animals will probably come in. Could a human fit in? Mine? I mean, I guess. Like a little one?

Yeah, probably. A human can fit in a dryer, but you don't. That's true, I've done it. So, I mean, yeah, you could probably belly crawl through it, I guess. Researchers create a robot so small it can crawl along the edge of a penny. Oh, you know for sure when these get to be a little more prevalent. People are going to be sending them up people's butts. You know that.

What? What? Why? Put a camera on it. Let's just send up your butt. Let's see what's up there. For sure. You mean like doctors or friends?

No, friends. Like nose's butt. You know they're going to do it if it's that small. No doubt about it. Researchers at the Northwestern University, at Northwestern University developed a remote control robot that is so tiny, it can comfortably travel along the edge of a penny. You're telling me some of your idiot friends wouldn't get drunk and send it in your ear. 100%. Yeah, in your ear.

Hey, come on, man. We'll crawl it back out. But there's a tiny camera. Let's see what we can see in there. Absolutely. It goes, the nose, the butt. If there's a hole, drunk people are going to send it into the body. But it is tiny.

And so they believe this technology might bring the feel closer to realizing that micro-sized robots can perform practical tasks, maybe even surgeries. Oh, my. You can get to places without having to cut into the body. You can actually send something super small in and do it from the inside, which would be super cool. And finally, Stephanie Motto. Amy, does that name Ringabelle at all? Stephanie Motto. I don't think so.

We had a story about her. She was selling her farts and jars. Oh, yeah. He was making a lot of money. And then she was doing so much of that. People were buying it that she had bad gut issues because she was constantly trying to fart. So that was the story. And we were amazing how much money she was making thousands and thousands of dollars.

Well, now she is selling sweat from her breasts. Oh, she has to move on. She says four hours of lounging by the pool can give her 10 bottles of sweat on a sunny day. She then takes those bottles, sell the 500 bucks eat. Whoa. And she sells them. To who? The chive.

To who? Weird people. Weird people. Weird people don't walk around with a sign going, I'm a weird person. They do that in their home and hope that no one finds out they're a weird person for the most part. So they're not public about buying this? I don't know that they all are. I would imagine most people that buy this don't want people to know they buy this. It's kind of like their secret thing.

So when you buy it, do you just let it, do you pour it on yourself or you just look at it? I don't know what people like you would do with the Xbox. I don't. You tell us. All right, that's big stories. Thank you. Bobby's big. Ronnie Dunn, lead singer of Brooks and Dunn turned 69 years old today.

Holy crap. I mean, he can still sing, sing, sing, sing. He sang with us, the raging good against Eddie and I's band, and we were like, wow, sounds so good. And then he sang at my wedding, and everybody's like, wow, he sounds so good. I wouldn't have thought Ronnie was 69 years old. That's pretty cool. Yeah, he does not look 69. Do you think he colors his, he must color his hair?

I tell you, as a guy, we don't even think about it. We don't think about asking or even wondering if another guy does that. Just for men. Just for men. He must just for men. But regardless, I never, even if he did or he didn't, that would never come to my mind. I wonder if he colors his hair. Never.

Right, but that's why he doesn't look 69. He looks younger because his hair is not gray. He's got 23 number ones with Brooks and Dunn. The best-selling duo in country music history. More than 30 million albums. Happy birthday, 69 years old Ronnie Dunn. I mean, I got a lot I can do. Here is Ronnie Dunn.

This is interesting because he's been on the show a lot. I'm lucky to have been friends with Ronnie. And so Ronnie told us during interview on our show, they started playing songs at clubs in Oklahoma. The club only wanted to play cover songs, but they would work in Bootskoot and Boogie. And so here you go. Here's Ronnie Dunn talking about that.

These people kept coming up and asking us to play it again. So I kind of thought, well, maybe there's something there. So we'd sneak into the set late at night. Down there, if you'd play a song or do or play in any of the clubs, and they don't dance, then you're out. So we had to write songs that kept people moving. In turn, sold beer. So they weren't the first to record that song, by the way.

A little fun fact for you. A Sleep at the Wheel recorded in 1990. Here's a clip of that version. Hilltoe, docee-do. Come on, baby, let's get boots, scoop. The interesting, when I sing that song, I don't sing Hill Toe. What do you say? Here we go, docy-do.

Oh, yeah, me too. I'll just be honest and tell you. But the dance goes heel-toe. I never learned the dance. I know that. I don't dance. Yeah, you do. But I always go, here we go, docy do.

Come on, baby, let's go. Interesting. Even when we sang it, do we sing it with them at our show? Yes, we sang it at the million dollars show. I did background vocals wrong. Me too. Because I got on the mic and I was like, here we go, docee do. Hey, that's why they looked at us.

No, I don't think that's why, Eddie. But also, he has a system to remember lyrics on stage that he doesn't. He doesn't remember lyrics. So he has someone in his ears monitoring. every, and then giving them cue words constantly. So his person sits on the side stage and goes, Hill to toe. Hill to toe, come on, baby.

Come on, baby, and this is him talking about that. Well, everybody uses some kind of reference, like a monitor or that, but Melanie talks in my ear. It you'll cue it. No, we have a whole system set up, and you kind of have to learn it. It's like you'll cue the first word before the beat,

and it just comes second nature after doing it for so long. You don't even think about it. People go, well, that's really distracting. It's like, no, it's not. No. But his person sits on the side stage with an ear and heel. He'll. Come on. Come on, baby.

It just feeds them words as the show goes along, which is awesome. Here is Ronnie singing at my wedding, and this is a cell phone video. So I don't know if the audio is going to be wonderful, but here you go. This is Ronnie singing Neon Moon. I can't do it anymore. could hit the high note. I push it for you. All right.

The goose is either going to lay an egg or we're going to make it happen, all right? Neon. That's pretty awesome, huh? Yeah, it's so good. It sounds like a concert. It was in my house. That's your wedding, dude.

Yeah, that's awesome. So, I love them. Ronnie Dunn, 69 years old today. They're out touring like crazy. You know, Jordan Davis is opening for them. It just be a great show to go to. We can play. Here's a neon moon.

This is the live version. If you want to hear like them really sing, This is Neon Moon with Eddie and I in our group The Raging Idiots at The Million Dollar Show. Happy birthday, Ronnie. Here's Brooks and Dye. The sun goes down on my side of town. That lonesome feeling comes to my door. And a whole world turn.

Got a table for two way in the back. I sit along like a losing you. I spend most every night beneath you. of the light of a neon loom. There's always room here for. Watch a broken dream stands in and out of the beam of a neon moon. Have a birthday. You want to hear the rest song go stream it, you know what I mean?

Still listen to that on the strand. On the old strand there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to play this in an episode of Antiques Road Show. This is one of my favorite clips, and Mike told me we played it years ago, and I watched it again and was kind of moved by it again, I was like, I don't remember playing it.

But there's a guy, and he's a veteran. And he's like, man, I got this all watch. And the guy's, well, let's look at it here. He says, it's from the 70s. He said, I bought it back for $430 while I was in Thailand, stationed over there. It's just an awesome clip. Now, keep in mind back then, his salary is about $300 a month. He never wore it.

And in the video, you see he's got the box, got all the paperwork with it, kept in a safety deposit box, and could use a little help right now. Honestly, he's like, I'm just here. long hair a little bit. Looks like a Vietnam vet. What you would think a Vietnam vet look like. And so here you go. Here's the clip of this guy being told how much his watch is worth. The date mark on the bracelet shows that it was made in the first quarter of 1971. Collectors love this watch because Paul Newman wore in a movie called Winning. Wasn't this particular model. It did not have the screw-down buttons.

The one that Paul Newman wore currently at auction, those watches are going for approximately 150, $50,000 to $200,000. Your watch is more special. You gotta be kidding me. It says oyster on it. They did that for an extremely short period of time. We refer to that as a Mark 2 dial. And this particular model being marked oyster

is extremely, extremely rare. A watch like this at auction is worth about $400,000. He falls down right now. Oh my God. You okay? Don't fall. I'm not done yet.

yet. I set a watch like yours because of the condition of it. Basically, it's a new old stock watch, nowhere on it, and the fact that we have all this complete documentation here also. Maybe one of the very few in the whole world that still was never worn. Your watch at auction today, $500 to $700,000. You're good. No, I'm very serious. An absolute, fabulous fine. It's one of the rarest Paul Newman models. And in this condition, I don't think there's a better one in the world. Can't thank you enough for bringing me one of the greatest watches to ever see on Antiques Road Show.

And thank you very much for your service. Unbelievable. You just feel so good for the game. That's an awesome clip. There you go. Let's play Dirks Living Bobby Bone Show. By the way, I bought that watch for you, lunchbox. Yeah, a little gift from me to you.

Thank you. Yeah, you're one. If you're not worried about somebody stealing the idea, I can give you the whole TV show pitch that I've created for you at Lunchbox. Yeah, I'm ready. I think that no one's going to steal it because you have more connections than the people listen to our show. These people are in their cubicles at work.

I don't know that I'm talking about just that anybody. Okay, so earlier you're going to tell me something good, had an idea about Lunchbox and Reality Show, and I've sat over here and taking some notes during breaks, and I can just give you the pitch that I'm going to send off today. I love it. Let's hear it. You're really sending this off.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I think there's something to it. More than just like a reality show. Like I have an idea that's a little different than anything I've seen before with lunchbox in it. Yeah. Okay.

I'll give you that coming up in a second. All right. Do I star in it? Oh, yeah. It's about you. Yes. Definitely about you. Yes.

So we will come back. I will tell lunchbox that. And then the most expensive tequila, a bottle of this tequila, cost so much, I just, I don't understand. Good tequila? Can you tell the difference of good tequila and bad tequila? Yes. What about great tequila and good tequila? Yes. You can't? Great tequila, good. There's the difference.

Yes. So obviously great and bad. There's a difference. Oh, my. Night and day. Okay, I'll tell you about this, too. Hold on a minute. Be back.

Why did I search the internet for answers to my cold sore problem?

Now I'm stuck down a rabbit hole filled with images of alarmingly graphic sores in various stages of ooze. I can clear my search history, but I can never unsee that. Don't go down the rabbit hole. Amazon Health AI gets you the right care fast. Health care just got less painful. Since I don't drink, I don't really experience all these artists bringing in an alcohol. You know, country music, the culture is a lot of alcohol. I mean, listen to the songs. And so a lot of them have alcohol lines.

So I never know if they're crap or not. And I'm not going to ask you to name anybody, lunchbox. Or just in general, are these artist brands, whatever it is, tequila, whiskey, rum. Do they have that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Are any of them just awful?

Yep. Oh, they are. Yeah. I think they just like, oh, put their name on it and it'll sell because it has their name on it. I don't know if they even taste it themselves because, or they've never had that kind of. They just get the check? They just get the check because there's some that are that bad.

Oh, yeah. Are more than one that are bad? Yeah. Are they mostly, if an artist brings in alcohol, Ray, I'll put you on this too. If they bring in alcohol, do you just assume it's going to be bad tasting alcohol and that's why they got the artist to be on it?

I do. I think parties are actually pretty good. So Johns is pretty good. Yes. But I'm telling you, the worst alcohol I've ever had in my life. Well, hold on. Wait, don't mention a name. No, I'm not.

I'm saying is an artist. alcohol. The worst. At all time. I mean, it tastes like battery acid. More than like Red Dog 2020. Mad Dog. Mad dog.

As you can see, I know nothing about it. I would like to take a second. I can stand up for Thomas Rett's tequila because we did a tasting with him at IHart Country Fest. And he knows what he's talking about. He's very into it. You can tell he's very dialed in. And I had to sip it for the thing.

And it tasted good to me. Have you had that? I haven't had it. Dost Primos. Ray, you had that one? I've not. Just parties bourbon and then some others? But generally you think if an artist has an alcohol, it tastes like crap.

Is that what happens in your head? In my head, I think, oh, they're just getting their name on it. They have nothing to do with it. They don't even know if it tastes good. So it's got to prove to you it's good. You don't just think an artist has got it, so it's got to be good. Yes. That's interesting.

Yeah, I feel like, Bobby, if you were to put your name on something, like, wouldn't you want to know what it tastes like? Well, my new beer comes out next week. Not an alcohol, but I've never tasted at all. I'm like, no, guys, it's it, the new whiskey. That would just seem crazy to me to lend your name to something like that. I guess unless it's just paying you so much money, you're like, I don't care. Wow.

I'll just take the money. So that's funny. They'll do crappy alcohol. Yeah. But maybe they like it. Maybe they have different taste buds. Everyone does, yeah. That's true.

Well, no, because you two were complaining about one specific artist, the same, making jokes about it before we came on the air. Uh-oh. That's what led me to go. Yeah. So the most expensive tequila is a bottle of tequila, lay diomone. ever had that? Never heard of it. It costs $3.5 million.

What? For a bottle? It's age seven years. Now, a lot of this is the bottle, right? They make the bottle super fancy, too. It's crafted from nearly five pounds of ultra-pricey platinum and it's got a bunch of diamonds, but between the tequila and the bottle,

the bottle cost $3.5 million, which is pretty crazy. Dude, if I was rich, I'd just put that right here on the desk. Why? Show off. You would have that in your house if people came over, they'd be like, dang, he's got that tequila. All right. But I wouldn't know.

But I wouldn't know what it was. Unless you said, here's my $3.5 million. Yeah, here's my $3.5 million tequila. Or I'd have the news story right next to it where people can read it. Like framed. Yeah. Absolutely. Idiot buys $3.5 million.

That's me. You go to a museum. They have a little synapsis. See a local idiot? You're looking at it. Synapsis of the like artwork, whatever. They have it up there on the wall. You would do that same thing with that tequila.

Goodness, that'd be awesome. Sherry and North Carolina, you're on the phone. Appreciate you calling in here. Let's go over. Sherry, hi. How are you? What's happening? I wanted to find out from lunchbox.

How long has it been since he's been in school? Well, 2003 was my last year of college. So whatever year, how many years is that? Basically, you're looking at 19 years, yeah. Yeah. In North Carolina, if you've missed more than 10 years of school, they will not let you go back and catch up on your degree. They drop everything that you've done, you have to start over.

No way. Well, you didn't go to North Carolina. You went to Texas, San Antonio. That's weird because the University of North Carolina has fake classes for a while where you didn't even have to go and they gave you a diploma. Okay, you're talking about athletics. It's a whole different thing. Look at Texas. Mike, will you see if Texas has that?

Oh, man, that'd be terrible. There's no way they can have that. Yeah, that's crazy. That's every time is something good one, 94-year-old gets a degree. Your credit. So, Mike, if you'll look that up. So what happened was earlier this morning, we were talking about a story with, where this person goes back, gets their degree,

and I'd mention that Lunchbox is three hours short. And he always has been since 2003. He just was one class away and never finished. And we're like, why don't you go back and get that one class? Three credit. That's it. You're done. Do you have your degree?

And he's like, I don't care. Yeah, I mean, I went out in the real world, got famous and no need to go back. I mean, the story said, local idiot doesn't graduate college. That's me. That's me. So, lunchbox. And then you said what? I said, man, if you put me on, you said, what would it take for you to go back?

I said, let's make a reality show of it and I go in and I join a frat at 40, I go back to intramural sports, things like that. Then we could talk. But besides that, there's no point. Here's the idea that I just pipe. It's called Old comma school. Old school,

but old school. Nice. Oh, yeah, like the movie. Well, yes, but instead of old school, it's old comma school. You're my boy, blue. And so this is what I wrote. Here we go. I gotta go back to the beginning

All right My co-ho... Can I just read you what I wrote? So this is the pitch Yeah, the pitch I work with a team at BBC America And this is about me right? Yeah

I love it already! I'm in! I said my co-host 41, kind of an idiot He needs three hours to graduate college Left Short, one class The show is him going back to college For one class but going extremely hard Frat party, school life, cramming, intermural sports All for one credit, can he survive?

Masterpiece Theater, where you go into that show it's an old show where a guy's like, welcome to Masterpiece Theater, what we're going to do? And I'd be like, and this week's episode, Lunchbox is going to try to actually pass his trigonometry test,

can he do a keg stand, and will he be able to do this? That's coming up here on old school, and then we check in. And it's not like the Jersey Shore where it's just a reality show and you have to watch every episode. It's like, in a room,

Dr. Bones would be your advisor. I'm a doctor now. Your academic advisor. And then we would check in with you as you finished your one class. Man, that would be cool. Well, I send it off. They said, is this something you just found out about him?

I said, no. It's been a running joke for the last 20 years. He even walked and got a fake diploma, but he never got the real thing. And then it says, that is funny. So far, that's all. Damn, hey guys. But they're West Coast. Does that mean we're to move back to San Antonio?

I don't know what it means. Where do you go get it? We're 10 steps ahead of what it. No, no, this is already happening. I got to tell my wife. No, no, no, this is where you get in trouble. I'm going to have to go home to tell my wife today. I'll come back and see what she thinks.

Then I'm going back to college. I'm going back to college. I'm going to join a frat and immoral sports. Yeah. We might have to join you in more than just one class, though. It might have to be like a whole semester because one class is kind of more. Yeah. 15 hours? Oh, man.

Oh, that's a lot, man. Can you keep up? Can he do it? We'll see. Nothing can happen from this, but maybe they want to. I mean, so I'm going to be the guy in class that everybody wants to sit next to because I'm the non-traditional student, they're going to be like, oh, this guy knows what he's doing. Like he's going to put in all the work to make sure the projects are improperly, but little do they know

not. Yes, because I had intro to Earth systems in college, and we got to take a group test, and then we took an individual test, and you averaged them together, and that was your grade. Man, I got with this one dude. I never studied for a test. I got Fs on every single test. We got 100 on every single group test. Was he older? Not traditional? Okay, but you, if someone comes to you and does that. I know, that's what I'm saying. They're going to look at me like that guy. I mean, I could have got an A in that class so easy, but I never studied a. a lick because I had that guy in my group. All right.

That's a lot of pressure. Okay. I'll bring along the young kids. Okay, well, we'll see what happens. I'll update you guys, if anything. Wait, so he'll still hold down his job and here. Hey, that's showbiz, baby?

What about being a dad? How is that going to work out? That's part of it too. Does he take him to college? Hey, sometimes if you can't find a sitter, then the professor's like babysitting it. Exactly. Can he do it?

Yeah. Take your kid to class. Can he juggle, listening and learning, and also passing a little kid? I don't know. Anyway, there you go, lunchbox. I'll see what happened. I can't wait.

What channel is this going to air on? No, no, I don't. I mean, good idea, Bobby. I like it. Whoa, whoa, wait, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. What? Who played the groundwork for this idea, Amy? I think.

Well, you're the storyline. Billy Madison is what that's from. I know, but right then in the middle of telling me something good, I said, reality show, boom, boom, boom. So, did, da, da, da, give me little credit here. Just say good job, lunchbox, so we can go on. Good job lunchbox. Yeah, it was a good job. All right, there you go, thank you.

Bobby Bone Show. This story comes us from Mississippi. There were members of the Air Force. They were going on a training flight mission, and they had to fly to California. So they flew to California, and one guy's like, hey, can we land and pick up my BMW motorcycle? So they landed at Martha's Vineyard, had a motorcycle loaded on the thing? Can't do that? No, you're not supposed to land.

the Air Force aircraft just to pick up your personal motorcycle. I know if he got, like, won that, I don't it? But I can see how it's like, dang, I got to pick up my bike. It's right here. We got this plane. And it's like maybe he, like, wants him for a training exercise and his bonuses. He gets to pick up his bike. Yeah, no one will know.

Yeah, we wouldn't have known if lunchbox wanted to told us. Oh, yeah, so they made a little 15-minute pit stop, and now they've been downgraded in their status in the Air Force. So you can't take a plane that you don't own and land it somewhere that you don't have permission to land it. and pick up your personal item. And then they made them take the motorcycle back to California on the plane. Well, you'd take it back? On the same plane?

Yep. Well, that seems a little counterproductive. All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. This woman's 103 years old, and that alone should be celebrated. I mean, almost nobody lives to be that old. But she jumped out of an airplane as well, so she's 103.

I even think the wind would just like rip her skin off. Yeah. Like, ah. She's so fragile and break a bone. Like the wind, yeah. Her arm and legs. just breaking in mid-air. Everything falls off.

But she's 103. That's awesome. She jumped out of a plane. Her name is Ruth Larson. She broke the Guinness record for oldest woman to conduct a tandem parachute jump. When she was 90, she wanted to learn more about flying, and she started trying things. Again, she's 90, 90. Like paragliding, hot air ballooning.

Okay, the hot air ballooning I get, you can do that a picnic basket. I ain't, but paragliding? That sounds miserable. Yeah, it seems also intense for 90s. But good for her. She made her first parachute jump at 101, but she did it again at 103 years old. I would love to see her genetics and to see if her parents, if her grandparents, how old they lived. Yeah.

Because the more we learn, we can slightly alter things, but it's really hard to change. Good or bad. Well, yeah, and you know it's genetics when they're like, you know, I live off bacon and beer. And you're like, okay. That's all I've had for dinner for 27 years. Bacon and beer. Eddie, what are you guys skydiving? Do you know yet?

Scoopa says it's coming up. I mean, they're just trying to coordinate the time to do it. And you've been cleared even with your four children. Yeah. Your wife said, go ahead, have it. Yes, and I even looked into life insurance, but they said that's too late. You can't do something like that right before you go skydiving.

What you do is you have her do it, but have her whisper it. Be like, hey, listen, my husband's going skydiving. And then see what happened. Just let us know. That's not shady. Report back. Bye, everybody. With Air Tasker, you can check off anything on your to-do list.
