The Bobby Bones show, everybody wrote. Yeah. If I went home and told my wife, hey, my job is requiring me to watch OnlyFans. I think she goes, I don't think that's true. No chance.

There's a story. It says things just got harder for IRS agents. This is from MediaLite. Some of the agents will now have to watch Onlyfans to make sure that they don't count as pornographic under a new tax law. So their job will be to watch only fans. The issue come from the no tax on tips law that was part of the act that went through and says any tips from prostitution don't qualify for the deduction.

So these IRS agents have to watch to make sure that's not happening. And I'm telling you if I went in and said, yeah, if we've got some news for you, I know I've been at the IRS for 11 years. And at times, my job has been unfulfilling. and I've talked about leaving, but you're never going to guess what they have me doing now. I think she'd say it's time to leave the job. I don't think she'd, IRS. Oh, IRS.

You're done. I don't think she would like that. But yeah, that's going to be part of what the new IRS, some of these guys are going to do. You think you have like a chance to talk to your boss and be like, can I check with my wife first? Oh, you have to ask before your job gives you the task. That's such a weird thing, right?

Yeah. The IRS audit someone, claiming the tips deduction, which is capped at $25,000. An agent will have to look at the content, watch the content, and decide based on what they see if it is considered pornographic. And a lot of that only fans is. That's what they, that's it. I bet there are some employees. They're like, I'll do it.

Heck yeah, volunteer. It's like a college professor that everybody signs up for immediately. You try to get in Mr. Johnson's 9 a.m. because you know he's really easy. There's a new poll. This has people, and they give the percentage of people that sleep with their phones. and so your phone, Eddie, when you sleep, is where? On the side, like by the lamp. Can you reach it from your bed?

Yeah, I can roll over and reach it. So it's on your nightstand. Yeah. I think probably about half the time mine's under my pillow. No way. Well, because if for some reason my alarm does go off, which I'm off and awake before my alarm goes off, 90% of the time, I definitely want that alarm to be muffled so my wife who is pregnant is not woken up by the alarm.

Oh, so it's purposely. under your pillow, not that it's slipped under your pillow. Yeah, it doesn't slip under the pillow, nor do I put it there for the tooth fairy or anything like that. But my phone goes underneath the pillow a lot of the time, especially because I wake up three or four times in the morning. But most people, it is when you go to sleep, where do you leave your smartphone? On my bed next to me, 20%. So people will put it on their bed. That's number two, directly next to my bed, which is a nightstand, 53%. And I think most of mine is on the nightstand. But I'll tell you, the phones now have such a good charging rate.

Like, you can charge your phone. Pretty quick. Yeah, and then you don't have to leave it charged. Which allows you to put it under your pillow. For those needing a little hack. Morgan was even telling me it's dangerous to, like, leave it charged for a while. I don't know. It's not dangerous.

Like, it's not great. It's bad for the device, yeah. It's sort of bad for the device. It burns out a little faster. But you know what's going to burn it out faster is when they upgrade the phone, a new iOS, and they kill your battery. That's even, yes. Next up is somewhere else in my bedroom.

I can't imagine not having my phone within arm's reach, though. Like some people will put it out of arms reach so they're not on it as much. But if someone calls or if the alarm goes off, you got to get up out of bed. Have you ever seen those alarm clocks that have like the little, well, they look like drones. And so when the alarm clock goes off, which are a thing of the past, by the way, alarm clocks, I know people still have them, but how many people buy an alarm clock now? There have got to be alarm clock manufacturing centers that have gone out of business. Well, my kids still use them because they don't have phones, like the little ones.

Like kids and then people who are still hanging on at hotels. Yeah. Hotels for sure. Hotels for sure. But they would have these little spinny things. And when the alarm would go off, they would spin up like little drones. And they would land in the room. But you'd have to get up out of bed to turn them off because people would just snooze.

Yeah, but that's going to ruin your day. Well, that's the point. That ruins your morning already. But people would just snooze if they could hit it. And that wouldn't allow them to hit it. because it had now spun off into a different part of the room. You imagine how upset you would be looking for that thing? Yeah, but I think you know that you're not a good wake-up person if you have one.

Like you know that that's the means. In another room. 11% of people keep their phone in another room. Who does? What kind of psycho keeps their phone in another room? So that's from you gov. We also, we'll grab your calls if you guys want to hop in. 877-77-Bobby.

That is our phone number if you guys want to jump in. 877, Bobby. I do want to go over now, talk to Dave in Colorado. Dave, welcome to the show. What's up, buddy? Good morning, Mr. Burns in the studio. What's up, buddy? I just wanted to give you my tip on the whole loan and money thing.

So I kind of came up with a principal, I don't know, probably a decade or so ago. I never loan anybody's money. I give them money. If they give it back, I'll do it again when they're. in need. But if you change your mindset, there's never the bad blood of somebody didn't pay you back, regardless of how much it is. And, I mean, it saves friendships and family members. Is that a simple mindset change? Yeah, for me, it's always been, if you loan money to a family member or a very, very close friend that's like a family member, you have the expectation you're not going to get it back.

If you do, that's great. But there are people, though, that I would say I'm semi-close with or that I've loaned money to? I had the intention of getting that money back. But there's also people I would never loan money to. So there's kind of three levels. Level one, I'll loan it to you. If you're like, hey, can I borrow, you know, 80 bucks? I think that was the magic number. Can I borrow 80 bucks? Yep, you got it. But I know we're level one. I might not get it back, but in my head, I'm not going to be affected by that. Level two, you want to borrow 80 bucks. Okay. Let's say, Ray Mundo wanted to borrow 80 bucks. I'm not related to Ray Mundo, but I would let Ray Mundo borrow 80 bucks, but I'm going to expect a money back from Ramundo.

And if he doesn't give it back to me, I'm going to be irritated. No interest, though. That's nice, right? Yeah, I mean, that's probably better than anybody else in the room. I don't see lunch money giving me $80. If I loan money to lunchbox, I'm not going to loan money to lunchbox because he doesn't pay things back. You're not going to get that back. I've never asked for money. There's three levels there.

But I hear you, Dave, I think if you can afford it, that's great. You can't tell people that though, because like, now that people know, no, I know. No, I know. They're just going to be like Dave's going to give me money. Well, Dave, I think meant me No, well, you too Yeah, it's kind of That's kind of something you don't want to share

Like, if you're my level one I don't expect it back Because level ones may not give it back Yeah, hit us up guys We'd love to talk to you 87777 Bobby Get your phones on Get your Bobby

You guys want to be offended or no What kind of mood you in? Not really, but Okay, Aiden Hi What's up, buddy? We're ready for you. Morning. Morning.

Yeah, well, we've braced ourselves, Aiden Aiden. What is you want? Go ahead. Okay, so me and my friend listened to you guys like every day during work. And the other day we heard, we heard you guys say like, like, it was a question like what year did the astronauts touch down on the moon? And you guys said like six, seven. And I've heard like other kind of like remarks like that.

So I was just wondering how you guys like keep up with the like the lingo, like the younger kids, what the younger kids say. Okay, that is not near as offensive as what it said on the screen when I was talking to Abby. He said, no offense, you're a little older. How do you keep up with the younger thing? That's what's on my screen. I don't know. We talked about 6-7. I don't know that we've ever done the 6-7. No. I think my thing with 6-7 is that is such a safe. I get where it's annoying, but it's so safe because it doesn't actually mean anything. When we were kids, because we were, I was a 90s kid, like 69 was a thing and that meant something. dirty. Yeah, yeah.

Like, we had lots of, like, shwing, we had lots of sayings that were always in nature a little dirty. We didn't make them up, but that was what called, even something like, hey, that sucks. Oh, yeah. Like, all that was rooted in things that are dirty. And so it just became normal kid vernacular. With 6-7, I get it. It's annoying. And everybody goes crazy about it.

I was like, how wholesome is it that it doesn't mean anything? Like, you kind of don't mind other than kids are saying it. all the time. So that was with that. I don't have kids. And so, you know, my job for the most part is just watch TikTok and then do the show. So I think if anything, I don't say a lot of the stuff kids say purposefully. I get it. I'm too old. I work cardigans every day to work. But I do work in the entertainment space. And I think that's kind of kept me a bit younger. I think I have a bit of Peter Pan as well in me. I'm going to have a kid very soon, unless I've already had it. So I think that probably

changes it. But I think there are two things. There's that with me. I've never had a kid. But Eddie has like teenagers and that probably brings a little bit of it back to you because they're doing it. Yeah, yeah. And then the teenager shows the little ones and they're all doing it. Like the other day we were watching football and the score was literally 6-7 and they're all like, oh, 6-7. They start doing it. So I mean, yeah, it's all over my house. All those words. I think that's it. So Aiden, Aiden, I know to you were ancient. How old are you, Aiden? Oh, I didn't say that. Yeah, you did.

I'm 17. I said no offense. But that's okay. How old are you? I'm 17. Oh, you have a job? Good for you. What kind of job you have?

Yeah. I do carpentry and like job all stuff. Oh, dude, that's awesome. You know what? AI ain't replacing that. Not yet. No, it ain't. That takes hands.

Not in our lifetime. Those robots are forever away. Aiden, I appreciate you listening, man. Thanks for the call. Yeah, thank you guys. All right. See you later. I want to go to Brad and Pittsburgh, if you don't mind.

Down there on six, please. Brad, you're on. What's up, buddy? Hey, what's up, studio? What's up, man? Hey, Bobby, you're guilty of a spoiler alert. You gave up the winner of the special forces show, and not a lot of people have caught that yet. I would disagree a bit

because I'm seeing a lot of press from the winners talking about them winning. That's kind of an event show, like once there... Yeah, we've talked about that. Sports, events. And this wasn't live. Yeah. But when you see the person doing all the interviews talking about how they won, I just don't feel like that's a, I don't feel like that's a spoilable show.

Your thoughts? Eddie? I mean, it's not. I mean, I don't. And I waited days. Yeah, yeah. And it's, I don't know. The only thing I would say, though, is that it's not like a game that everyone's talking about.

It's there's like, what do you call it, a niche audience that watches that? Not everyone is talking about that So I would say that maybe I feel like it's a competition show There's no there's no spoiling a competition show When it's like a major event around the night And also when they're doing press You don't see people doing interviews

About fineries of TV shows giving up Here's the murderer doing an interview On the last episode of Mad Men What about like Dancing with the Stars? Live event competition show Same deal Yeah Survivor when it happens Also we didn't do it the next episode

morning. I don't know. I stand by that's not really a spoiler alert because they were doing promo with the person saying she won. Morgan, your thoughts? I don't know that live shows can be spoiled. Well, this isn't live, to be fair. Yeah, but it's created as it is to be watched in that moment. So that's

where I refer to it as live. It's like a I watch football, right? And if you, the next day somebody's like, well, the Cowboys won. Is that a spoiler? I don't know. I just feel like there's a lot of things that we could call spoilers, and we kind of have to define what spoilers mean, and this isn't one of them. Yeah, to me, if the person is doing press as the winner of the show randomly on all the social media channels and podcasts going, yeah, I'm won the show. The show is spoiling itself. So I hear you.

I understand why you'd say that. I'm not sorry, but I understand why you would say that. I also think as a consumer, if you haven't watched something, like if there's a season finale of something, and I haven't watched it. I'm staying off social media or I'm not listening to things until I get to watch that. I'm sorry that I maybe ruined it for you, Brad, but I don't think I'm against my principle here of spoilers. But I understand why you would say that. So can we come to the conclusion that we can still be friends but disagree on it a little bit. Yep, I agree to disagree. All right. Good, good, good. That's good. Yeah. I appreciate that. Hey, what did you think of the season? Like I said, I haven't had a chance to catch all that yet. That's why I was like, oh, okay, well,

I guess I don't have to watch the last two shows. I mean, who wins. Great, great point. Also, I'm thinking about this. In the headline of news articles, they write who won. Yeah. I've seen some of them where they say spoiler in like parentheses. I've seen that.

It tells people not to read it, but. So do we just have to say spoiler to everything now? I mean, everything is too much. It's like tipping. Like, really? We got to tip everywhere. It's too much, man. Brad, I completely understand.

I'll be a little more sensitive about that. I'm glad you called and put me on to it. I probably could have been a little more sensitive. Yep. He says yep. But in the last episode, they're like bury them alive. Whoa, dude. That's like, no, it's one of the tests.

He hasn't seen it yet. But it's one of the things. They show on the commercial. They show on the, you know, going into the commercial who were the last people left too. Okay. Thank you, Brad. Have a great day, ma'am. All right, see you guys.

All right. See later. Let's go to Cassie. Cassie in Idaho. Cassie, you're on. Hey, good morning. Morning. So I have a story about my son's boss, or my boss's son is literally the most important or impossible, like, 18-year-old to wake up.

And they've tried so many different things. And they found this bracelet. It's like a metal bracelet he puts around his wrist. And she can shock him from an app on her phone. Let's go. And so. No, no way. Go ahead, I'm sorry.

So she'll be at work and she'll call him and call him and call him and he's not waking up. He's not getting ready for school or work or wherever he's going. And she pulls up the app and shocks him. And then recently, like over the last couple of weeks, he's actually woken up before his alarm because he doesn't want to be shocked. Yeah. The thing I would worry about, though, is abuse of that app. if mom's just annoyed at me at 3 p.m. But I forgot to pick something up at the store.

But yeah, that's funny. I didn't know that existed. Oh, I appreciate the call, Cassie. Hope you have a great day. Yep. All right. Thanks, you too. Let's go to one more call.

Aaron and Oklahoma who's on the show. Aaron, you're on. Morning, studio. Morning. Hey, Bobby. I was just calling because my husband and I are a long time Oklahoma State University fans. We both work there.

It's our alma mater. So first of all, we fill your pain with losing. Yeah. We are really good at losing, and it sucks real bad. Been a tough decade. So there's that. But my daughter, Ella, is in the car with me, and we're on the way to Fayetteville, Arkansas, because she's doing a college visit to the University of Arkansas.

And she's trying to decide, yeah, she's trying to decide between Oklahoma State and University of Arkansas. She's got some pretty good. go ahead. No, I was going to say, what is she trying to study? Well, she's not quite sure. She's thinking about communications, maybe sports media, something along those lines. She's a really good writer.

She's really strong at writing. And she's good at talking. But anyway, go ahead. I know. I think both schools are great. How far away do you live from both schools? So we live in Stillwater. And he gets home.

So, okay, she's got to go to Arkansas. Yeah. Because, listen, I'm very biased toward Arkansas, so I didn't just yell Arkansas. But Oklahoma State's in Stillwater. You don't want to go to college where you live because it'll be hard to mature if the washer and dryer is right down the road at your mom and dad's house. So if it's even. Now, if she just loves Oklahoma State and that's been her thing, go. That's awesome.

Obviously, I'm biased to University of Arkansas. However, that being said, you're close enough. If you go to Fayetteville, this can be anywhere, because this can be Ohio State, this can be wherever you go to school. You need about at least an hour and 15 minute buffer so it doesn't feel like you can just go home on a whim. Because if you can do that, you'll be home on a whim all the time and it'll be hard to graduate to the next level of your life.

And it's further than that from Arkansas to still. I think it's three hours or so, which is the perfect amount because if you need to get home, you can. But it's annoying to drive home so you don't. So that is that's what I say about going to school Especially to go to a major school Like a massive school If you're going to go to a community college that's nearby

Because your grades weren't right or you can't afford it right now Do that so you can go to whatever school you want But if you're going to go and you want the real college experience You want to grow as a human being Don't go to school really close to where you grew up Because you will always be right back to where you grew up Thanks for coming to my TED Talk How do you feel about that Aaron?

You're not helping my husband a nice case at all, Bobby. Well, that's probably why, because you want her very close, and I understand that as a parent. But as once, I was a kid, believe it or not. And I think you need to have that buffer so it's harder to go home. Because if it's harder to go home, you have to learn to be an adult without mommy and daddy with you. So I'm sure you guys are loving, amazing parents. And if you called me and said, hey, we're thinking about going to Sacramento State or San Francisco, I'd be like, okay, where do you live?

I want to hear how close you are. I think that's a big part of it. But also Wu Pig for sure. I'm big Arkansas fan. But yes. Yeah, she gets free tuition at OSU because we both work there. Oh. Man, that's tough.

Yeah, but, yeah, man, that's. Okay, but can you afford to send her to Arkansas? She's a really good student. So she got the, it's like a 90% out of state tuition waiver. Okay. Then you just guilted us and you're, you're, you're, Out of state tuition waiver. Yeah.

That's just the out of state. That means she just has to pay 10%. No, it means she's got to pay 90% of the out of state's gone, right? Correct. Still the full tuition. Oh, no. Now you've got money. Okay.

Here's my final answer on this. If it is not to your financial detriment and you can afford it, I would recommend you go more than 30 minutes away, more than an hour away. That being said, I wouldn't take out loans. I don't think taking out loans. I don't think taking out loans is worth it anymore. Unless you're going to go get a degree that is super specific to a super school. Listen, I went to school, went to high school,

my first kid to graduate high school in my family, first kid to go to college, graduate college in my family, for sure. And to me, it was a big deal because nobody had ever done it. But I think now taking out loans, I don't think college, I think college is less valuable than it's ever been, generally speaking. I think it's as valuable in some areas. But generally speaking, I wouldn't take out loans because

they're, the college system now, the loans, it's predatory even. So, anyway, I don't know, you got to, now I'm back to Z. Aaron, you got to figure it out. You guys figure it. Yeah, I'm just saying, for her sake, I think it's better to go more than an hour away. Well, yeah, yeah, she's, I think that that's kind of what she wants to do. We're just trying to figure out the difference between the free tuition and what we would pay. And we have a son in college up in Wichita, too.

So we're paying for him to go and then next year, her to go. So we're just trying to figure it out. But I thought I would just see, you know, if you thought, what your thoughts were. Well, thank you for the call. Good luck today. It's signing day, by the way. Oh, today is, yeah. Not for all students for people signing for the Razorback football team, just in case you guys are wondering.

Okay, Aaron, let me know what you decide, okay? Okay, love your show. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. A win is a win. A win. I don't care what you're saying.

you gotta go get a real job There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Cougler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know.

You mean the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president? Los Angeles-Rouzette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus.

It was a good one. I like that snake. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah, it is an actual poll. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time.

I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Poll show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, voicemails. Give me number one. Bobby was talking about having a couple different roles on Nashville. I noticed that Nashville is on Netflix now.

And so, Bobby, I wondered if you had gotten an extra residual payment or how that worked when a streaming service buys a show that has already been on a network. Thanks. I've gotten no money. Although, I don't know. I might have. I don't know. I don't get my bills. I have a business manager.

Is there anyone you going to ask? My business manager. But I'm sure it would be so little. I don't know. And it's not residual so much from streaming services. Because what would happen is shows would get syndicated back in the day. And that means they would continue to sell it to local television stations. Like, Friends could be on a Fox affiliate in Massachusetts and Boston.

And in Minnesota, it could be on an NBC affiliate because they would sell it. And so, because they're selling it, then they're paying the residuals from that show going into syndication. Now, once a streaming service buy something, it's just kind of a flat fee and it has it. Now, when it's an old show, it's probably a little different. But I don't know if I got any money. I don't think so. Are you able to negotiate? Who's, who's, me?

When you're an actor. Okay, so take me out of it because I'm not an actor. Yeah, well, you know, you get asked to play a role, right? Like, I assume if you're Brad Pitt and you're going to be the lead in the movie, yes, you negotiate like, all right, what's the deal? You're going to pay me up front. Am I going to get residuals, whatever? But if you're just like, like you guys, like Lunchbox did an extra on Friday Night Lights. An extra gets no.

You don't even get to negotiate. I don't do. But if you have a speaking role you do? You don't really have a lot of. leverage. In a negotiation, it's all about leverage. You don't really have the leverage. And if you go in, like, in one of the episodes in Nashville, I had like five lines with Connie Britton. And if I went in said, you know, guys, I don't really feel like my deal is adequate. I think they would go, your five lines aren't worth us going to legal over this. We're just going to get somebody else.

Yeah. But you can, like in a movie, you can negotiate back end. Meaning, let's say you're going to get your $15 million, but you want a percentage of the movie after it's made its money back. Like, they do that type of negotiation. And that's risky, right, because if your movie doesn't do well. Yeah, a lot of times people will do it if the movie doesn't have, like, all the funding, so they'll take a little less. To make it. Yeah.

So they have that money. Did for Forrest Gump? Yeah. He didn't take a salary, just took money on the back end, but he still made $65 million. Who's that? Tom Hanks. Oh, well, yeah. Forced Gump.

That was a good move. But he got paid nothing. Yeah, but now he's getting paid a lot. Yeah, but you don't know that. Right. He had to believe in that project. But most people don't take nothing. They just, as part of their deal, they get back in, like a revenue share off the profit.

But you can't really negotiate it if you're not like somebody they want to. Five lines. Yeah, no, no. Okay. But I don't have an answer. I don't think I haven't paid for that. But if I did, it's like 20 bucks. So that's what's up.

Next voicemail. Hey, funny story on baby names. When I was born, my parents couldn't decide to name me Tiffany or Jennifer. And so they put on my birth certificate, Baby Girl Day, which was my last name at the time. For my legal name until I was 21 was on my birth certificate was Baby Girl Day. They ended up going with Tiffany when I was about 18 months old, but I was legally Baby Girl Day for 21 years. Have a good day. Thank you for the story.

There's a couple things in that that are pretty funny. Number one is they never changed the name of the birth certificate. That's hilarious. Never got to it. Her legal name was Baby Girl Day. The other part of this, the headline that was buried, is they finally went to her as a name at 18 months. So the first 17 months, baby girl dead. You're over one.

You should have a name at that point. You should. Like their first birthday when they sang, what did they say on the song? They do that. Happy birthday. They ended up going with Tiffany when I was 18 months old. That's all to not have a name for a kid. That's crazy.

All right, next up. Next up, next one, please. Your parents or your mom passed away, and Amy's parents passed away, but do you still have their number in your phone? My dad died last year. I don't think I'm going to take it out of my phone. Just saw it in my favorites recently and was thinking about it or seeing when you guys, or if you ever did.

Anyway, let me know. Amy had to leave, so she's not here to answer that question on her part. I do not have my mom's cell phone number in my phone because she never had a consistent cell phone number. It was always like her figuring out stuff, getting a new phone, not a burner to commit crimes, but she didn't have great credit.

So, no. I don't know that I would have moved it over if I did. Eddie, your dad died more recently than my mom. Do you keep his number on your phone? A little over a year ago. Yeah, his number's still in there. Because you had to go, you'd have to go and delete it from yours.

I'm not going to do that. Right. Yeah, that'd feel weird. I did keep a voicemail from her for a while and it stayed in my voicemails and then it was like you can save all this to a disc or something or maybe not a disc but like a hard drive

and I didn't save it how often were you listening to that? None. Yeah. It's really weird like still what's I mean you know your mom died a long time ago but my dad like he still pops up in like memory pictures on my phone all the time.

I died in the last two years. All the time it just pops up you know so it's kind of hard to like move on from that. Yeah it's always weird stuff that triggers, like, the memories. That would be tough because that is on the nose. Like, here's a picture of your dad that died.

Like, that's right on the nose. But it's weird because there are certain things that just happen, like something on a commercial, a dog or something, you're like, it brings back a memory. And then if you have the capacity in that time to, like, follow that memory, next thing you know, you're back in it. Yeah. But it's always something very random.

But the picture, yeah, I don't really have that. My sister sometimes, I'm not on Facebook. I guess I have an account, like a person. personal account. I think I have like 12 friends. So I don't usually use it. But I have an account because I have to log into stuff. And I'll check it occasionally. Just see what my sister's up to. And sometimes she'll post like pictures of my mom from back in the day because it pops up on her feed. But yeah, no, I didn't, I don't have my mom's cell because she never had one. Amy probably doesn't either. But yours makes more sense because your dad died pretty recently. Not long ago.

All right. Let's go around the room. Lunchbox. Yeah, there was a break in at a liquor store. came in, smashed a bunch of bottles, liquor all over the floor. Then they found the culprit, passed out in the bathroom. There's a raccoon. I love it. I saw that. He was passed out cold. He just passed out.

It's so funny. It reminded me in like a college and post college when you give dogs beer, which is probably really bad, but you'd, oh, you're going to have a beer. We thought it was so funny. You would give dogs beer? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Reminds me a guardian to the galaxy. The raccoon? Yeah. That's all crazy. Yeah, we never gave dogs beer. Although I wasn't a beer person. I wasn't around beer, really. Didn't you, Eddie?

Like, if your friends at a party had a beer. We had a chihuahua. See? Yeah. Yep. I mean, a bottle cap of beer and she would, like, tip over. Why would you do that? Because you're stupid college?

No, we were just dumb, dude. It was me and my brother. We were just dumb. The raccoon, I looked at it drunk in that bathroom. It looks like you were to walk in. It looks like a dead raccoon. Yes. So I guess the raccoon, like, broke the bottles and then started drinking the...

Yeah. Racco went crazy. Then probably licking it off the ground. Yeah. Did you guys see that raccoons are going to be like the next domesticated animal? I love it. Says who? The trend is going that way because they're becoming.

Don't. Don't. Stop that trend. They're becoming more friendly with people and people are feeding them. So it's like the same kind of domestication process that happened. There was one like five or six years ago that came to my back door. And if I would have just left the door open, they would have just come in. My wife's like, no, do not let it come in. But I was tempted to be like, why not?

He looks friendly. We have a lot of raccoons. They're very dirty. They have lots of bacteria. They're so cute, though. Bad. They're garbage animals. Yeah, they love garbage. Nighttime, if you see the little lies, it's a bunch of raccoons up in your garbage.

All right, Morgan. There's this Army veteran named Ed Bombas. He's 88 years old, and he works full-time at this supermarket in Michigan, and an influencer named Sam kind of goes around doing really good things, and he showed up talking to this guy, and he had shared that he has to work five days. He had to come out of retirement to do it because he had to pay his wife's medical bills and all this stuff.

And super crazy. The influencer just bought a bottle of water and tipped him $400, which was super cool, right? But then he went online and created a GoFumme account. And the Internet rallied together. You guys want to guess how much the Internet raised? this because I'm going to guess way more. And then when you say it's lower, it's still a significant amount, but then it takes its steam out of it. So I'm going to do this, $1,000. Wow.

That's a lot. That's a lot. Yep, yep. But it's much higher than that. Thank God. Yeah. The internet rallied and came together for $1 million. Oh my God. I wouldn't have guessed a million. I think as of this morning, too, it was at $1.18 million. To help his wife with the medical bills? Yeah, like, because he had all these and he hasn't been able to pay a lot. He hasn't even been able to get a house after it and she's since passed. So he's just trying to pay off medical bills and work and he's 88 years old. What do you think, Eddie? Why'd you go dude? That's just a lot of money. I mean, a lot of people coming together to support someone that they don't. So it's a positive dude. Yeah, yeah. I mean, a million dollars, yeah. And I'm sure he needs it, but. But does he need a million?

No. I mean, who knows what he needs? He's 88. Not a million. Medical bills. Right now, right now, oh yeah, for sure, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical bills. Yeah. $1.25 million. Oh my goodness. So if you're this guy. Like William Macman, top donation, $10,000.

Like, that gave me goosebumps. I have goosebumps right now. But if you're this guy and you like get all the money, right, and you pay off everything that you owe, all your medical bills, you got like $750 grand left. Can you buy a Ferrari? You can. Like it's your money, right? That's a great point.

Like, are you allowed to buy fancy stuff? you can't afford a yacht with that, but you can buy whatever you want at your money. Dang, that's cool. But also you've got to think maybe this going to work kept him alive because he's 88, you know, if he's just sitting at home by himself. Okay, now that's just speculation. He might still work. Here's how much some of these people have donated. The top donors, William Agman, who I'm not sure if he knows a guy, donated $10,000.

Blake Murray donated $5,000. Hasty Harris and 3,500. Joseph Henderson, 3,000. People are donating thousands of dollars. It's amazing. This might make me sound like a bad person. Go ahead. I don't think it's going to be like a bad person.

And I hope it doesn't make me sound hypocritical. Okay? So there, I saw on Twitter, and I don't really know the guy. I just follow him on Twitter because he does, like, Arkansas Sports Reporting. His name on Twitter is, Jackson Collier and Jackson had put up a it wasn't a go fund me

but it was one of those type and he's like hey I'm raising money for prostate cancer whatever he doesn't have it but it's like it's like no shave November and he's like I'm trying to raise like $3,500 or whatever so I saw it

don't know but I donated $500 to the page right right and so I donate it and it goes through and then it goes would you like to tip the site and I'm like I don't know the site

like it's not a that's not a living organism the site what site the go fund me site or the actual the site I also don't donate

to Wikipedia and I use it all the time and they're like hey can you spare a dollar 50 for Wikipedia I used the crap out of Wikipedia I never pay for a dang thing so I did not tip the site

because that to me just feels like I'm throwing money at a computer like it I may rely yeah doesn't the site take some money? No.

Some don't if they're like raising money for like a good cause. I think GoFundMe, I think the reason why, because I saw this too and it made me investigate and I think they do it because they don't charge anything. But at that point I would just say like charge $5 for every donation or something and then you don't have to have tips or whatever, like a credit card fee. I want to find what the site is. I'm like, I want to look up this site specifically. But I did feel a bit hypocritical because it was, I paid the $500 and then I was like, all right,

cool hope that helps them. Oh, do I want to add a tip for the site? The site. If they had a show like a person who's like building the X's, the ones and two, zeros and ones, whatever. This is Billy. He created the site. Billy can really use some Christmas cheer. I think I'd have thrown 20 bucks out of it. Yeah, that's weird. That's kind of weird. But it's just, do you see it, Mike? I'm not seeing the link now. Oh, fine. It's down. Because when I saw it, I saw it like yesterday or the day before when I did it. but Twitter kind of sucks because nothing's live on Twitter. It just kind of feeds you random crap.

If you keep scrolling down, you'll see it. I think there's a picture of his face with like a little bit of hair. And he's like, I'm doing no shape November. I don't so much care about that. But then he was like, here's why. And I was like, oh, okay. If you're like, I'm motivated. I'll donate.

Here it is. I got it. The site is donor perfect. You ever heard of that one? Nope. Nope. And he's got $2,200 of his $5,000 goal. And you don't know the guy.

I never met him. Personally, you don't know him. No, but I've, like, we have, I mean, he looks young, too. He does look young. And he wrote, it's no shave November, which means once again, I'm shaving to, I'm not shaving to raise money in awareness for men's health. We raised a lot of money last year, I think each of you donated. This goal is a bit larger, but the message in the impact is the same.

Prostate cancer is dangerous, but it's treated. I once again, and then he talks about how it's affected him. I don't know if my story to show there, but, um, what do they take it? any? Looks like they do. So they're trying to give me double? So they take a fee? They're trying to give me on the fry and the backside? It doesn't matter.

But, yeah. If you guys want to help this dude out, 10 bucks at a time. So are all the no-shape November's... Processing fees on donations. Okay, so there's is only donation, basically. I didn't donate to the website. The people that grow their mustache... I'm going to hell.

You're good. Go ahead. The people that grow their moustaches, they're also raising money. They're not just growing their moustaches. I think you can do both. I think the original idea, though, is... Because you can also dump a bucket of ice on anybody, too. Yes.

That's for what? ALS, ice bucket challenge, yeah. I think that became a thing. But originally it was to raise money. Then I think it was just to raise awareness. People would just do it for awareness. So you could do it for both. But his was raising money.

Got it. We throw the link up. Is that Facebook stream up? Can we throw it? Can you send Morgan the link? To the old man or the other guy? No, the old man's good. He can buy yon.

Holdman's got a million, dude. This guy, Jackson, car, you're going to need $2,500 to hit his goal. That'd be awesome. A little Christmas money there. A little Christmas cheer. Yeah, there you go. We can put it on site. Facebook watching right now.

Yeah, we'll put it in the comments. That would be awesome if you guys did $10, $20 or so. That'd be cool. All right. Eddie, did you do your story? No, I didn't. Go ahead. Tell me about Chernobyl.

I never watched the documentary, so I don't know much about it. Okay. Chernobyl was the nuclear. your facility. Where was it? In Europe, in... Hold on. I'm not testing you, by the way.

I really don't know. It's a country I've never been to. Russia? No. It looks cold from the pictures I see. You say, it's got to be like Ukraine then. Like, it's right there. Is it Ukraine?

It's in Ukraine, yeah. It is in Ukraine. Like Ukraine proper? I can't pronounce where it is. So it feels like, but it's close to Russia because although they were cold. Yeah. The pictures I see are just snow everywhere. So wait.

Is Russia fighting at Trinot? Are they like fighting for that Chernobyl land? I might even be wrong about that. It's at the very top of Ukraine right by. What is that near? That other country. I think that's all Russia above it. Russia's huge.

Wait, what's that right above it? Oh, Belarus. Belarus. Belarus? Yeah, it's right by Belarus. Yeah, I don't know. Dude, I got lucky with Ukraine. I'll be honest with you. It's just in that area.

Okay, so what happened? Like, it was a big nuclear... Big explosion. They basically mismanaged it. Okay. And it exploded and it killed everybody. Okay, so that was a long time ago? 80s?

Yeah, 86. Wow. Okay, so... So not that long ago. 86. Unless you're like 19, that feels like 100 years ago. Yeah. For us, we were alive, most of us.

So what's crazy about this is that I was reading that there hasn't been any sign of life in that area at all. For like a million years, that stuff stays in the air. Yes. The radiation has killed all life. Wild life doesn't go near it. Whatever. There's a scientist that keeps going back to the site just to kind of research what it's done to everything. And they've found mold.

They've found like black mold that's actually feeding on the radiation. Where science is kind of freaking out over it because the fact that something living, like mold is attracting to the radiation. It's not like growing and then moving away from the radiation. It's growing towards the radiation. So they're thinking... It's probably created from the radiation as well in the air. Oh, see, that's not what they're thinking.

They're thinking it's just it existed, but it's coming from the ground, and it's actually... I guess they've always thought that radiation killed life. Now they're thinking that maybe it doesn't kill all life and there is some kind of life that is actually feeding off radiation, which it could change.

Everything. What if it's like that super medicine that cures cancer? Correct. They're thinking this could be something. It could also be like a super radiation that kills everybody times 100. Yeah. Or that turns us into zombies if we touch it. Like all dead people come alive again. It could be both of those. It could be anything. Let me ask about that. I thought you'd find that a little interesting. I do. Hello, I'd like to ask a question about Chernobyl. Hey there. Absolutely. Feel free to dive in with your Chernobyl question. I'm all ears and ready to chat about it. Eddie was just talking about a bacteria, or what was it? A mold that was found near Chernobyl.

That's the first time they found any kind of living organism in that area. Can you give me more information on that? Oh, yeah. That's actually a super interesting topic. So what Eddie's probably talking about is the type of fungus that they found in the Chernobyl reactor area that can actually thrive on radiation. It's called radiotropic fungus. Basically, these fungi use melodin, kind of like the same pigment we have in their skin.

and they convert radiation into chemical energy, almost like how plants use sunlight. So it's a wild example of life adapting in a place we wouldn't expect. Are there any ideas of what that could be used for positively, that fungus? Yeah, absolutely. It's actually a pretty fascinating area of research. Scientists have been looking into whether these radiation-absorbing fungi could be used in a few different positive ways. One idea is that they could be used in environments with high radiation to help shield, or protect. Oh, I'm sorry, keep going.

Oh, no worries at all. I was just going to, hey, yeah, they're exploring some cool ideas, like maybe using those fungi for radiation protection in space or even on earth in high radiation environments. And some folks are even looking at whether the melanin from these fungi could have medical or biotechnological uses. So it's kind of a neat little example of how lice can adapt and how we might use that adaptation in some clever ways.

What's crazy about that is that's something that, they figure out, this is just an example, like, and they do put in a spacecraft, and the spacecraft is able to get through these radiation belts. Yeah. Because there is now a barrier that could keep the radiation from getting to the humans in there. That would be kind of crazy, huh? That would be cool. Is that what's keeping us from getting to the moon?

Radiation belts? We've been to the moon, don't we stupid? It's just checking. There is that, what's the Van Allen, that belt that's full of radiation. Yeah, yeah. That's a lot of people's argument as to why we've never been to the moon. Because again, we talked about on yesterday's show how crappy and old those spacecraft were. But, yeah, radiation, that's a big part of it.

But, yeah, either of that, yeah, the Van Allen radiation belt, either that or it's going to kill us all, one of the two. I mean, life is pretty crazy like that. Like, that's kind of, like a fungus is kind of the HBO series on the video game. Oh, the Last of Us. That's what I thought of. That's kind of what it is. Fungus turns people into zombies. Oh.

Or if we're celebrating the breakthrough. Lovely. Little do we know in like a year we're going to be fighting off frigging zombies. Holiday parties are coming up. If you drink carbonated beverages before you drink alcohol, you'll get drunk or faster. Is this common knowledge? I didn't know that. I didn't know that.

I just learned that. What about like a vodka soda while you're drinking? I don't really have the answers. I don't know why I'm asking. That has liquor in it, dude. Yeah, no, I know. But still there's carbonation in the liquor. If the liquor is carbonated, does it work the same way?

Yeah, it gets you drunk faster. Oh. Carbonated drinks make your body absorb alcohol quicker. This causes you to feel the effects a lot faster and stronger than usual. So avoid if they say if you just want to drink and get drunk at a normal level, do the juices and not decarbonated liquid. Although if I were drinking, I think I'd want to get drunk, right? Isn't that why you drink? Yeah.

Maybe you don't want to get really drunk that quick. Why would you drink, though, if you didn't want to, like, get drunk? Okay. Socially. Yeah. Yeah. Some of them, just the taste of it is good. I can be social.

Alcohol tastes good. Some of it. Like a pinocalata, yeah, I guess. Cool cocktails. But even then, if I'm going to do that, I want to get drunk. Yeah. Otherwise, I'm not drinking. But you see, you're not, there are levels of drunk, right?

Like, there is the, you never been on an airplane and it's all quiet until they serve drinks. Then it starts turning into kind of a little cocktail hour and everyone's talking. Yeah, I've been on an airplane. There's that level of drinking. You know, you got the buzz. And it's a good place to be. Then you get a little more drunk, you're a little crazy. a little louder.

And then there's the, I can't function because I'm so drunk. What do you like? The first one. Just the buzz. I just like taking off the edge of whatever is awkward. You know? Because once you have like a couple, like one beer,

everyone's kind of like, hey, what's your name, man? Let's have small talk. You do that without drinking. I know, I know. But everyone else kind of joins you when they do that. All right. Is it safe to leave Christmas tree lights on all night?

No. I do. This is from real simple. Holiday lights may look magical, but they can be dangerous too. Experts say it's best to switch them off before going to bed. Modern LEDs are safer than old school incandescent bulbs. They can overheat or overload outlets if they run too long. For an easy upgrade, a smart plug can shut everything off.

I kind of like it, though, if it's night. I like it to be on it because if I wake up the only night, I like to have the spirit. Same, dude. You go down for a glass of water and it's like, ah, the tree's lit. Yeah, you never know. Santa's going to be around there. The younger generation detests the news media. That's from the Associated Press.

I did watch a bunch of news last night. I say that, but I was mostly just flicking through. Was it elections last year? Yeah, special elections. So I was watching that until pretty late last night. I opened Google or something there like, election day. I'm like, what? Yeah, it was in one of my area.

I guess the district, different district elections. You probably lived in that area. I don't live in that area. I was not in there, but I was watching it very close. My Chinese man lives with a functional cigarette lighter in his stomach for 30 years. Did you, stomach acid doesn't eat that up eventually? I think it does. And did it have lighter fluid in it?

A 67 year old guy began experiencing abdominal bloating and pain about a month ago, but thought he just had gastro-intinitis. He went to the hospital and they couldn't figure it out. It's conditional. It sounds like lunchbox. They kept telling you Google it. They kept saying, not funny.

Do some pelvic floor exercises. They kept sending him to YouTube. So they went and they performed an emergency, like stomach surgery, doctors noticed a strange, smooth blackened cuboid, corroded by stomach acid, deep in the man's stomach. However, attempts to remove it failed

due to its smooth, slippery exterior. The medical team decided to postpone the removal of the object so they can investigate its nature and origin. When asked if he had any idea what it could be, he then remembered an incident. Ah, the lighter. In the early 1990s, when after a night of drinking with some friends,

he swallowed a plastic lighter as a dare. He had never told his family about it and always imagine the lighter had passed through a system a long time ago. You're digging deep in the memories for that one or you've always had a hunch, that could be it. It's one of the two.

Do you remember anything? Well, there is this time in the 90s. Like, that doesn't happen like that. Right. And that's great. Like, you don't eat a lighter. Like, if I ate something, I would check every single time I go to the bathroom and see if it came out.

Yeah. And this is like this big. A big old lighter. Like if you make a C with your hand, that's the size of it just about. After confirming the foreign object was cigarette lighter, the medical team assessed the best removal method. Surgery was deemed too invasive, but the endoscopy also had a low chance of success because of the smooth texture. So they opted for a condom-like technique completely encasing the foreign object, like basically putting a condom on it and then pulling it out. Wow.

Out of the central. Safe surgery. Do you guys think you could swallow something like that? Because I can't even swallow like little pills. Yeah, I know. I struggle with the pills too. You know what I don't? Like what? I'm pretty good at swallowing pills.

I can dry swallow two. Oh my gosh. No. I have to like throw my head back to like force myself to put something down my throat. Don't make it weird. You're the one doing that gestures over there. I didn't do anything. I did nothing.

So do you think you could swallow a lighter? A lighter? Isn't that a way, dude? The lighter's big. Yeah, I know I get it. And that would hurt on the way down. That would hurt your throat. I get it.

I don't think there would be a dare that'd be worth swallowing it. If it's life or death, probably. Gun to my head, I could probably swallow a lighter. But what's, the guy swallowed it on a dare? Wait, wait, they were drinking? Yeah. Probably carbonated. Probably had some carbonation with this.

Holiday party. Yeah. All right. X-ray didn't catch that. That's crazy that like. Not the first one. Mm-mm. Hey, was there a holiday work party?

Yeah, last night. Did you go? Yeah. How late did you go? It was from 6 to 9. I left at like 8.30. Anybody else go? Mm-mm.

I did. Yeah, I wouldn't. Why is it at um? Well, I mean, I just think... Where was it? It was at a restaurant downtown. That was cool restaurant. Yeah, it was really cool.

Good food. I didn't even know there was a holiday party. Really? No. Working mail. Yeah, they said emails. I haven't taken work on three years. But there's a problem, though.

What? I think Eddie O's the company. some money. Why? Because they wanted a headcount so they could pay per person. Eddie RSVPed, yes? No, no showed. No, let me tell you about that. I didn't, I never RSVPed. I got an email that said, we got your RSVP and I'm like, I never RSVPed. So somebody must have checked that for me, but I never personally said I was going to that party. I don't know how I got on that list. Was I in a list? No. Did you see a list, a physical list? Yeah, it has a list of Everybody that said RSVP and if they included their plus one.

Did you plus one? Did you plus one? Did you plus four? No, I couldn't plus five, I guess. Nope. Did you eat enough food and drink enough drink for me? What did you take home that you should have? No, they wouldn't give you to go boxes.

They had a dessert table left over. Morgan, why do you laugh at that? That was one moment. So they were walking around with appetizers. They had a whole thing of sushi. Yeah, and he like went to reach for the whole plate like it was his. And I was like lunchtime because that's everybody's. You can't take the plate.

Because the waiter walked up to me and said sushi. and I was like, oh, yeah, and I thought he was giving me the plate. And so I went and he goes, oh, just take one. And I was like, oh, take one. Is one roll? One little roll? No, it was one of those long ones with sushi on, I don't know what you call it. Sushi.

Sushi roll? No, no, he went to roll. So then it was shishimi? Yes, shishimi, yeah. Oh, thank you. That's not called. Thank you, Skova. I said it before.

Shoshimi? You said Shishimi? Yeah, then I just confirmed Bobby was right because I was there and I saw it. I didn't hear you. Sorry, my bad. I didn't hear you. I think it's the low booming voice. He's my high man now.

I never know if you guys can hear Scoobick, because sometimes he talks to me in my ears, and he's telling me something. If it's like a commercial over this, whatever it is, do this pick up or something. You guys ever talk crap about us? Right now he's talking to me without you guys hearing. No, because it's confusing,

because I never know if he's talking just a mirror to you guys. So the party, though, good? Great. It was really good. Everybody was dressed up. They had a little theme. You had to wear fur or blue or silver. Hold on.

Did you dress up, lunchbox? He was dressed up, guys. Blue and silver and velvet? No. He was in velvet. I had a velvet. What? Like velvet, what?

A jacket. Red velvet? How did you get a velvet jacket? I had it for him a couple years ago when I hosted the Folds of Honor Christmas event. And you bought it back then? Yeah, I bought it back then. And I was like, oh man, I had to go through Instagram, find the picture, find what outfit

match. Okay, that goes with that, so I just put it back on. What people from the company, were there any executives that we know? Yeah. Like Rod and Gator, yeah. Rod went? Yep. Rod doesn't have anything.

He doesn't. Or with us. He goes to a party. He loves a party. He loves a party. He's often everywhere, yeah. Huh. They give gifts away or anything?

No. So what did you guys do? Just eat and talk? Yeah. Did Abby sing or anything? No, she didn't sing. She showed her ring off to everybody. That's good.

Hey, Abby, are you doing the Christmas group again? I don't think so this year I have too much going on and like I said if I commit to something I want to be able to be there all the time and it's like every night

sounds like she got fired plus around Christmas no did you get fired sounds like she got fired wasn't invited back rude no he asked me again I just I said no

I can't everybody good yeah so Eddie you really didn't RSP huh I really didn't that's weird because the sales girl

last night was like man I was just talking to Eddie earlier when he was sitting there when McKinney he said he'd be there No, I specifically said you would be there to somebody. I specifically said I'm not going. She said you were hanging out with McKinty yesterday.

It was the afternoon guy. And she said, oh, is they going to be at the party? He said, yeah, see you tonight or so much. No, it's all lies. I said, probably not. Probably not. I'll be honest with you. I don't know how somebody RSVPed for you, though.

You were there, though. You heard me say I'm not going to the party. I did hear you say that, but I did see your name on the list. So you guys sat at dinner with a bunch of people from work for hours and found that to be enjoyable. It wasn't. You're just standing. It was like a cocked. Our vibe. Even worse.

That's enjoyable. Yeah, it's fun. I like socializing. I'm not judging you. That just feels miserable. That's good. Yeah. I mean, that's awesome.

I will say that... It's not even that I dislike anybody. It was a lot better that we were able to have a plus one. Yeah. Because then you literally are just talking to people from work that you just saw two hours ago. The plus ones weren't a thing of the past? No. No, no.

No. No. No. No, I just doesn't sound like something. I don't like really leaving the house. house, but then also I do occasionally like going to dinner with like close friends. But you got to think it's free food, free drinks. I'm good.

I'm good. I have plenty of food at home. No, not this kind of food. Man, this food was good. Just see me. Did you go, Mike? No. Did you want to go?

Maybe I missed that email. You didn't get it? I don't think so. Do you hear about, I know you did, Eddie. Morgan, you're at Tygen Daniel, the wreck? No. So, Tiking and Daniel, friends of mine, friends of some of us here, they used to work. on the radio station in the afternoon

and they went to Tulsa they do a morning show on Tulsa and so Daniel have you seen his car? Yeah I saw it on Instagram dude crazy somebody hit him so hard so it was him and his dog

killed his dog no he loved his dog and not only that he's like hurt he's not like gonna die or anything but he's like hurt not terrible but he's still like his bells wrong

I reached out to him last week and then I hit up Tyge yesterday or two days ago and I was like, hey, like, what? Because it's hard. If you ask somebody, hey, what can I do to help? That's such a generic question.

Or, hey, let me know what I can do. Nobody ever hit you back. But I was like, hey, what does he need help doing? Because just let me know. And he's like, no, he's okay. But, like, physically he's not the best right now. But he was totally, like, he's destroyed because his dog died in the car wreck. I can't imagine you're getting injured in an accident.

And then you also have to deal with a grief of losing. Oh, my gosh. That car? It's smashed, man. The whole back was completely smashed. You see a mic at all? I did. I listened to their whole segment.

Oh, they did a segment on it? Yeah. Which was crazy to me to hear. Was he on? Yes. And he sounded just completely normal. Well, he kind of sounds like he's been in a wreck anyway. Daniel?

Yeah, yeah. Dude, what did they say? I mean, Tye talking about him getting that call of Daniel being in an accident and him having to go to the scene. Like, they called him, like, the police called him and like, we need you to come down here. He thought he was going there to identify his body, basically. Oh, dang. They think he was dead? Yeah.

They didn't tell him why he needed to go down there, and he thought he was dead. Because Daniel's not married or anything. No. And then he had two dogs in the car, so his puppy survived, and his older dog died. And then, yeah, Tyke had to go deal with that, too. Daniel's on the air. Yeah. Is he working every day now?

Do you know? They said he would be there probably have to miss here and there to go to appointments and stuff. But, yeah, they did the show with him, I think, a couple days ago. Yeah, anyway, car was completely in. annihilated. Like, lucky the Daniel didn't die. I'm gonna be honest. When I first heard about this, I didn't know if it was a prank or not. Same. Same. Because that's what they do. They do. They screw with us all the time. They screw with everybody all the time. I respect it. But I for sure thought they were messing with us. They're the

kings of pranks. So they once hit an egg in our studio. Yeah, they came to me and like, hey, hasn't smelled it all in there? And I'm like, no, no, that's good. Smells fine to us. The last like two months it hasn't smelled. No. And then they go back in there like, man, we put this egg in here like two months ago. Can't believe he didn't smell. Wow, his car is messed over. So what, like, what happened in the accident? Do you know?

It was like staying still traffic, so he was completely stopped. And I guess the person who hit him, like, didn't see the traffic was completely slowed down. So probably just hit him, like. Rearended him for sure. But it looks like not a slam on your brakes and then we're in. It looks like just running through. Yeah, they didn't get into too many details as far as, like, that moment. He said it was just like flashed.

Didn't even know. Oh my gosh So yeah That's that I'm glad he's okay Case you guys Don't hear about that Oh

But Mike I just wanted to say You were on the email For the Christmas party Okay Missed it Sounds like a nightmare to me though Yeah me too
