Speaker 1 (00:10):
Hello, what's happening? Welcome to Friday's show, Morning Studio Morning.
Coming up this hour, just a few minutes, we'll talk
to Granger Smith, who has Oh you know, the media
is trying to start a beef between him and Kane Brown.
Oh they love each other, but you know, we'll talk

(00:31):
about that. Also, he's now the host of After Midnight,
which may have been on right before we came on
the air. So a big country start taking over radio.
I thought that's pretty cool. So we'll talk to Granger
in a few minutes. But now it's time to open
up the mail bag you send the air. It's something
we call Bobby's mail bag. Year Bobby. That's all it says,

(00:53):
not Hello, Nope, Bobby. I have a problem with your show.
My co worker who listens to your show live from
eight to ten am every morning, and then after lunch
she listens to a podcast. Sometimes she will listen to
old episodes again and again. My problem isn't so much
with you, it's the fact she plays it over computer speakers,

(01:14):
and even when she does wear headphones, she has the
volume up so loud I can still hear it. I've
never listened to your show before but my co worker
listens so much that I've memorized the email bag email
address and decided to write you my problem. I'm at
a loss on what to do. Am I wrong for
wanting to ask her to either turn down her volume
or stop listening to the show? Am I the problem here?

(01:37):
Signed anonymous coworker. This is interesting because this does happen
a lot of offices or even at a restaurant or
an airport, when someone's listening to their phone out loud
and you're like, what are you doing? Don't you don't
have any social sense? So the answer is, yes, you're
the problem here, and yes you're the problem, and just
let her live with this show. We don't get much.
Let us live. Why don't you listen and then you

(01:59):
can enjoy it with her. I hate this for you,
except it's our If it's any other show, I would
go to her and say, hey, would you mind turning
it down just a little bit? I can hear it.
I'm trying to listen to my own podcast here, and
I don't think that's a mean thing to say, just hey,
it's a little loud. But since it's our show, I
do not say that. Amy. How would you address this

(02:19):
to where somebody other some other losers show. I guess
I would just hope me personally, i'd probably just end
up putting up with it. But if I had to
say something, I would just yeah, kindly be like, hey,
that's a little bit loud, and it's I'm trying to
concentrate over here and get some work done and I can't.
But since it's our show, you would weigh, Oh see,

(02:39):
I still think you say that even though it's our show.
I would say, turn it up. That's right down, turn
it up? What's up from Okay, I'm gonna do it. Oh, Mark, ready,
here we go. Turn it up Home Alabama? YEA nice?
So I didn't know they said turn it up? Though, Ray,
would you mind playing us the beginning of Sweet Home

(03:00):
Alabama by the band of Leonard SKINNERD. When you hear it,
you'll go oh, I didn't realize that was the thing.
So we encourage that you go full skinnered on her
and say turn it up, turn it up. Have you
never heard that before another radio? You can't really turn
it up because everybody's the same. But anonymous co worker

(03:21):
thank you for the email. If you would send us
another email if you do happen to hear this and
let let us know her name and maybe her email address,
well we'll scold her, yeah by sending her free gifts.
All right, thank you for the email. We've got your
air and I was found the clothed Bobby's mail back. Ye.

(03:43):
I love this guy who were about to talk to.
I would even consider him a friend. He had the
song back Roads song that went number one, and he's
now the new host After Midnight, which is a national
radio show that we come on after. So he finishes

(04:06):
after Midnight and we just kind of sliding into our show.
So we're about to hear from Granger Smith the Friday
Morning Conversation. Smith like a very lumber jackie this morning
with his flannel and his beard. And is this the
new Granger or just the Granger that doesn't have to
leave his house? Now that is a famous radio guy.
Uh yeah, going for that radio face. They're telling me,

(04:28):
you know, well, first, congratulations man, It's just I don't
know what you can't do. And every time they're like,
oh I wonder if Granger can do it, you can
do it, and now you have a national radio show.
How did this come about? I had I sent about
a thousand letters to a bunch of different affiliates. Now
I'm just kidding. They called me over at premiere and

(04:50):
asked if I'd be interested in something like this, and
they called Tyler, my brother who's my manager, first, and
Tyler called me and said, hey, I talked to iHeart.
They want you to Hope after Midnight. And I was like, well,
what did they really ask you? No, seriously, they asked
if you'd host after midnight. And Tyler's just real mild mannered,
and it took him about two days to find it
convince me that that's actually what they were asking. Well,

(05:13):
and you kind of, you know, waded into this. Obviously,
you're a mega popular country music star, you're a social
media guy. You then started a podcast that is quite
popular and now radio, so you know, you kind of
just been building toward this. Do you feel comfortable now
just hopping on and you know, doing four or five hours? Yeah,
it's it's um, it's very different. This is different for me.

(05:36):
And I could talk to you about this because I
most of the things I do in my life get
I get an instant reaction to how I'm doing good
or bad. But with after midnight. You know, I sit
there and I do the show in my quiet room
by myself, and then I send it off and then
it uploads and then who knows. It's like it is
anyone listening. And I've never really felt that The answer

(05:58):
is they just go by and what did anyone hear
any of that? Yeah? No, I have to laugh at
my own jokes internally and just assume people are out
there listening. It's just it is a weird vibe because
I will do this show where I get you know,
I'm just sitting here with my friends and they know
my sense of humors, so sometimes they don't laugh and
I feel like I'm killing. But then I will go
and do a comedy show, I stand up comedy show,
and I'll say something in the crowd will laugh, and

(06:19):
I'm like, oh that's right, I might be funny. I forgot.
So it is. It's two different worlds. It's singing your
big country music star, hearing a crowd cheer at you,
and then sitting in a room by yourself talking getting
no reactions from anyone. It is. It's two complete different worlds.
But congratulations, you are now a massive radio star, just
by your platform. Alone, So I think we should clap

(06:39):
for our new hey, our new here. He always looked
down on us when he was just a country music star,
but now you're one of us. Granger. Yeah right, thank you, brother.
I have a couple of questions for you. I was
talking to Kane Brown and I was listening to Kane
talk about you. He said you inspired him to get
so jacked. Did you say anything to him? Did you

(07:00):
talk to him about it or did you just look
at pictures of you? No? Yeah, that's that's a that's
a tough thing for me because then you know, Men's
Health came out with this article recently and it said
it said Kane Brown the fittest country music star parentheses
watch out Granger Smith. And I was like, I told Amber,
what does that even mean? So I was like, I
need to print that out and put it in my

(07:21):
gym so that I could just look at that for
motivation because I don't feel like that's me. But when
we were on tour, I don't know, Earl Dibbles Junior
or something, you know, going out there in overalls and
but we no, we did not have a discussion about it. Well,
you are sneakily ripped because looking at you now, you've
got on like five layers. And again he looks like
the brawny man right now, but then when he goes

(07:41):
full earl, he does have overalls and all of a sudden,
he's got muscles just screaming out of that thing. And
You're like, where did this even come from? So do
you have a gym at your house? How often are
you in that thing? Yeah? During the pandemic, I built
I built a little gym in the barn outside and
and then I just started going there and I started
loving doing that instead of going to, you know, any
other public gym. I just liked going into the barn.

(08:04):
And it's not air conditioned or heated, so you know,
sometimes in the winter I feel like Rocky four when
I'm just like loaded up. That's actually why I'm wearing
this right now. But I'm just like loaded up with
beanies and four hood he's on, he's punching meat. Yeah,
he's going to be hanging there. Yeah. I was looking
at your Twitter before we came on because I wanted

(08:24):
to make sure I didn't miss anything that that's been
happening in your life recently, or that you've put out
there and I was looking at some of your posts,
and you do tweet a lot of Bible verses, but
I'm always curious, like what, And I'm gonna put you
on the spot here. If you had to get a
Bible verse tattooed on you, which one would you tattoo
on yourself? Yeah, that's a that's an interesting conundrum to

(08:46):
a tattooed Bible verse, But I know people do it.
Um it would probably change. And I gotta tell you, Bobby,
the reason I do that. It's not it's not to
try to inspire the world or anything. It's so that
I keep myself accountable because I have to get up
before I start my dig into that and then find
something that's going to keep me accountable. So by posting
it for myself, that that's the way of doing it.

(09:08):
But I think today I would probably be into Philippians
four to six, which do not be anxious about anything
but everything by prayer and supplication, bring your request to God.
It's a pretty long one. I probably would go with
a much shorter one that would be like all the
way across the back. Yeah, I mean, I love it,
I love it bad. It's pretty long. I was like,

(09:28):
maybe he wept. You know that probably the one um
Granger Smith is on with us. He is now the
host of After Midnight. He is on over two hundred
radio stations. He can be heard Monday through Sunday from
midnight to six am on iHeart Country or the iHeart
Radio app. But I do want to ask, let's not
let it be lost that you are a big country

(09:49):
music star, Like are you working on music now or
has that kind of been put on the back burner. Yeah,
I am actually working on a record right now. I
told Amber, my wife yesterday. I was like, you know,
I'm low key making an album right now, because usually
when I make an albums, that's all I'm doing is
making an album. But now I just I seem to
have all these little projects. I actually thought twenty twenty
two was going to be kind of light. Now I

(10:09):
have just fill up all these projects and then the
album is like a fourth of that pie right now.
But I am making music, you know. With you having
to interview folks now and have you done a lot
of interviews, I'll start with that. Who have you interviewed
so far? No? I haven't done many. I only did
Marion Morris. She had that premiere last week. And I've
known Marin for you know, thirteen years back and during

(10:30):
the Texas Days, and I've prepped for the interview. This
is my first one, so I prepped for it, and
then she came on and my heart start beating, and
I was like, I'm nervous right now. I'm nervous to
talk to Marion. And then she would answer, and I
would think to myself, Oh God, what am I gonna
say next? I don't know? And how did they go?
Did you listen back to it? Because I refuse to

(10:51):
listen back to interviews because I'll pick them apart like
I live them, and then I move on with my life.
And I hope that Scooba Steve, if it's a recorded interview,
he will fix it and make me not look like
an idiot. So did you go back and critique yourself? Yeah?
I hate my voice, and so I did. I did
hear it. One thing I didn't want to do during
the interview is like put my own artist ideas into

(11:14):
what she was saying. I was like, I don't want
to be the guy that's like, oh yeah, when we
tour or our shows or our bus I didn't want
to say that, So maybe I did that. Maybe I
over emphasized that and didn't say enough and just went
straight to the questions that I don't know. I'm trying
to learn it, and just like, hello, Maren Morris, I've
never played music. Do you like music? Right? Right? Well?

(11:35):
What question do you get most as an artist? Because
I think being an artist, and I think for me
the last few years of my career, I've started to
be interviewed a lot for things I do outside the show,
which makes me a better interviewer because I get so
annoyed at some of the questions that I get over
and over and over again. So well, as an artist,
what do you get asked them most? And you're like,
I know they're gonna ask me this, but I'm going
to answer it and just try to finish the question

(11:57):
and move on to the next. Well, it's for instant
If you put out an new song, then so many
people will ask you, so tell us a little bit
about this song, How do you riot it? What was
the idea behind the title? And that's always a loaded question,
you know. So it's so what I want to do
with after Midnight because it's a it's a nighttime show.
Is I want to try my best to base my

(12:19):
questions around the nighttime, the third shift, you know, the truckers,
the nursing mothers that work commuters, and so that's what
I was trying to do with Marion. It's like, you're
you're nursing a baby in the middle of the night.
Do you do you think of songs? Are you thinking
about music? Do you get inspired? Have you ever written
the song? At night? What time do you wake up?
What's your alarm sound? Like? You know, thinking, I want

(12:41):
to try to relate it tonight, just so like you're saying,
so that's not the same questions over and over. I
was in Russellville, Arkansas, and we were traveling during our
Christmas break. You know, we we go from Nashville to
Arkansas to Oklahoma because my wife grew up in Oklahoma.
So we're doing the families and we were so close
to being out of gas and add to pee and
went to this truck stop and it was a really

(13:01):
old truck stop. It wasn't one of the fancy ones.
It was like on the edge of Russellville, and they
had it was so like old and it had a
tanning bed in it, right, which this thing probably hit
its heyday in like ninety three. And so there's a
tanning bed in the bathroom has two urinals and a
toilet that barely works. And I walk up to the
urinal and there's a lot of things written on the

(13:22):
wall called this number, but in three different inks like
one and sharpie and two and inks it said ye
in three different times. And so I thought about you
because there you were where I'm from, at a place
that I don't know, it's very celebrated, but they were
representing Granger in the Yee brand, and I was like,

(13:43):
see that's what I'm talking about, Like he knows who
he's talking to. That's my guy. I did not know
where that that story was going that direction, but yeah, yeah,
I love we love Arkansas. Those people A lot of
those kind of people though don't even know my name.
They just know ye yee and the lifestyle it is.
Are you still as I don't know what the word is,

(14:04):
are you still creating as much with Earl? Does? Does
Earl Devil's Junior make it on After Midnight? He's in
some of the imaging, not a lot, but I did
hear that he's in. He's in like the intro of
the show right now. But I'm not creating a lot
with Earl. I've been I've been so slammed with other stuff.
During the pandemic, I did Earl made a little resurgence.
You know, I had more time than But I love

(14:26):
making Earl. It's just a matter of, you know, how
this goes. It's a matter of thinking of the content.
How do I think of something new that's funny? But
it's still in his vein? And you could and I've
done it for ten years. It's how many jokes could
I say for Earl? So Granger Smith is on. He
is now a wildly popular radio host, even though you
haven't been on long enough to be a wildly popular

(14:46):
I'm calling it right now. I'm gonna say it. We're
gonna play it back in a year when you are
wildly popular. We're gonna say, see I knew then, Well,
hey man, congratulations, man, you do it all. And I'm
so proud for you. And I hope people if they're up,
you know, midnight to six am, they turn on Granger.
They listen to music, they listen to stories, and new
music is coming out do you want to give us
an idea of when we're gonna hear new music, you

(15:07):
don't have to when will we get Granger music? Here?
Let me I could break something to you and I
haven't talked about this at all, but the new The
next time you'll hear new music from me, it'll be
part of a soundtrack. That's the album I'm making it
right now, the soundtrack to My Life of twenty twenty
two maybe or a real movie like a like a
TV show or a movie. Give us that. Yeah, it's

(15:28):
for It's for a movie, which is also the ugly
face she'll here I got going on right now. Avatar too.
I said it. That's my guess. I'm gonna stick with
it and we'll see if I'm right all right at
Granger Smith, Hey Granger, good to talk to you, man.
I'm rooting for you. You are the best and keep
killing it. You inspire a lot of folks. Thank you, brother.
We'll talk to you soon, man, Thanks for having me.
Ahi by Granger. The latest from Nashville and Tullywood Morgan

(15:52):
Number two Kane Brown released a new song called the
Whiskey Sour. You got my message, my axes and my
owns and it kills me by the hour. And now
I take my whiskey sours along. Jason Aldean released a
new song. It's called Trouble with a Heartbreak, Heartbreak. It's

(16:15):
gonna room leaving mid night, breaking down, wondering how long
that is gonna chake get normal. It's a Kane Drail
whiskey dail covert. Thomas rat dropped two new songs called
Church Boots and Angel. Here's a clip of the song
Church Boots, good Shop, making money and a party on

(16:38):
the sand stage in the far back. Give him word Ratt.
Eldredge performed this song on the show last year before
he released it. Today, his song want That Back is
out everywhere. I'm Morgan number two. That's her Skinny. It's
time for the good news with Amy. There's this couple,

(17:04):
Taylor Tiffany. They live in Indiana, hanging out at their
house and a dog, straight dog, comes up to their
back door and they did what most people would do,
at least I know we would. They go to the
vet and they see if the dog is a micro chipped.
Thank goodness, the dog was. They learned that the dog's
name is Daisy, and it belonged to a family over
eleven hundred miles away in Houston, Texas. Oh, how the

(17:28):
dog got to Indiana is a mystery. They do not know.
But they were able to return Daisy to their owners,
Katrina and Mark Skelton, and they are so happy to
figure that out. Right, you just asked the dog. I
looked it up as sixteen hours and nine minutes. That's
what the drive is driving. Yeah, there's got to be
a way that dog hopped on a truck or something.

(17:48):
The dog was missing for three years, so I meant
different owners. Oh, well, it wasn't the thirteen years walking.
I mean, that's it is possible when you do the
mat there. That's a good point, Eddie. I meant that
family was so relieved to get that. In disbelief, yeah,
because after I mean after a few months, you just
have to accept that your dog is probably gone. And
this is three years and you get a call from

(18:10):
a vet in Indianna. At least it wasn't a ghost dog,
that's true, like the one you had, Like, yeah, you
know showed up at my house. Have you seen it
again since at night? Here's what I think, and I
don't think this is this a Yellowstone spoiler talking about
the wolf. I don't even know what you're talking about. Um,
would you consider that spoiler? I don't think so. They'll
get this wolf shows up to Casey and some of

(18:31):
the Native Americans are like, hey, wolf means something, right, right,
And I'll just say that it's kind of a small
storyline in this last season. But this ghost dog showed
up in my house and I think it meant something.
Oh no, did the wolf say something to Casey? No,
the wolf just existed and this showed up. My gosh,
we need to go put you in a field. Yeah, hey,
is there anything about ghost dogs, Mike and what they
mean to people? Because this go I'm telling you, guys,

(18:54):
that might be a long google. It was white, it
was pure, like pure white, are a pure white? And
then the dog has disappeared. It was nowhere to be found,
and my dogs freaked out and I just walked out.
I put the dog up and walked outside to see
it. It It was gone, and there are gates you can't
get in and out of this place. But it was
so it was wolf like kinda yeah, because it was

(19:16):
kind of like that kind of dog, like a like
a husky type dog. Really do you believe in ghost dogs?
You're not alone? This is from from dogtime dot com.
I love not being alone, Thank goodness. Mysterious creeks in
the staircase, warm spots on your bed, no dog tags
jangling when you're all alone? What sensations of a phantom

(19:37):
paw on your shoulder? Could it be a ghost dog? Bones?
Get out, that's not you. Whatever the case may be,
you're experiencing paranormal pooch activity and no surprise, these fantom
pup signings have been reported all around the world. I
live on the same world. This is for sure. It okay.
People have went his ghost dogs on ghost walks, felt
the spirits of dogs long past, and seeing paranormal pup

(19:57):
energies resting peacefully in their old Do you think the
ghost dog used to be a dog that lived on
the property I live on? Probably? Oh, we had a breakthrough. Well,
so why do we believe this ghost is real? But
lunch Boxes wasn't, thank you, I don't. I'm charching for it.
I don't believe it's real. I'm still searching. Okay, sorry,
And this ghost didn't touch me Lunchbox times the ghost
touched him locked him in a room. He locked him

(20:18):
in a closet, clauset. I'm really cold in there. Well,
I'm still standing with and all the ghost dog pictures
they're showing are basically husky type dog really on dogtime
dot Com. Okay, that's weird. Well Amy, that's a great story. Yeah.
Is that what we were doing? Yeah, I just really
brought back tough memories of seeing a ghost dog outside
my window. All right, thank you, that's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good. All right. Let's go

(20:42):
over to Amy and get in some fun facts. All right,
Amy's got the most five fun facts of the week.
She's curated this list. Usually it's full of ooze and oz.
Let's go number five. So als cannot move their eyes
like we can look left to right about moving our head.
But they don't have balls. They have like cylinders, saying

(21:04):
like that, Okay, they have eyeballs. It looks like an eyeball,
but it's really just cylinders that are held in place
by bones. And so anyway, because of that they have
they can rotate their heads two hundred and seventy degrees
to the left and also to the right, and then
ninety degrees up and down. I'd really be an owl,
then be us. Then I would really be able to

(21:26):
move my head all around all these directions than just
my eyes. Just you'd rather be an owl just because
of the eye. No, I'm saying, if we're just basing
it on vision, I'm going to be an owl because
they're magical. Although me and now we're probably be pretty cool,
all right. They're so beautiful. No, I don't know how
good we have it as humans. You have no idea
how good it now has it? Oh, you're right, I
do like that. That's pretty cool. I don't know. They

(21:46):
didn't have eyeballs, all right. Next number four, Alexander Hamilton
misspelled the word Pennsylvania on the Constitution. He forgot one
of the ends in Penpe and if he Amy mispronounced
Alexander Hammer, I thought you would miss that, Okay, Like

(22:08):
Xander Hamilton misspelled Pennsylvania by forgetting one of the ends.
Spell Pennsylvania, Eddie, Oh h p E N N thank
you Amy s y l V A N I A.
That's it. Come on, you just succeed in being a
father of our country. And I am smarter than Alexander Hammer,

(22:32):
all right, number three. Okay, let's see how you do
with this one. Say Adidas Audis Scott. Have you already
knew this story original? But that's the original pronunciation of it.
How is it Audi Doss? But we Americans Adidas? Why?
Why do you ask? Yeah? Well, that's the fun fact

(22:53):
is that Americans pronounce Adidas wrong. It's supposed to be
Audi Doss with a slight emphasis on the first syllable,
not Adidas. So that's what here's I pulled a clip
of the real pronunciation as Adidas. So now I'm gonna

(23:14):
start no hate you. Okay, Like my son, he loves
Audi Das, no Adidas, we call it Adida. Is there?
Number two? The inventor of the ATM wanted to use
six digit pins. Like when you go to the ATM,
you know your code? Yeah, how many digits you do?

(23:36):
But it is four? Right? Well the guy that created it,
he ran the idea by his wife and she could
only remember four digits. Because of that, you know her
so so memorization skills. It's been four digits ever since. Yeah,
the pin numbers wild because if you I can remember
mine because I have to like visualize it. But they
sent me my pin. No. I didn't get to pick

(23:57):
my pin number, did you guys? Yeah? I think all
the Bengas ith me mine and I had to remember it.
You know, you can change it. I don't. I don't
go into settings on the ATM and I don't know.
I feel like that's gonna put me in jelm out
your bank. I don't click the low up and so
I don't remember it unless I do it with my hand.
And then I got it. When I got robbed at

(24:17):
gunpoint and I had a gun right to my temples.
They were like, take your money out of your ATM.
I could not remember my code. It was nowhere to
be found. And I said I don't know it, and
he said, yes you do. Whack came me with a gun.
Said I don't know it. I thought I was gonna
get shot, but it never came back to me. I
still do this day. Don't know it. Nine two. Oh
there it is. Hit me again, see if I can
remember it. Number one. So the CIA had to approve

(24:41):
every single episode of the show The Americans about Russian
spies living undercover in the US, just to make sure
they didn't reveal classified information. Wow, really good show. It's
a slow Burn show, and sometimes a lot happens, but
nothing happens on the show. But I really like the Americans.
It's about two Russian spies who live in America, but
you don't know the Russian spies. They've just become Americans

(25:03):
and you oddly start to root for them, but then
they're torn. Weird. Yeah, anybody else watching Americans? I've seen
some of it. Carry Russells. Yeah, yeah, maybe I'll go
back and start from the beginning. The weirdest part is
as the guy I think his name is Jonathan Reese
or whatever his name is, the guy in it. He
is from like New Zealand or something. He's one of
those people that speak with American acts and on TV.

(25:24):
So all of a sudden, when it's like you're like,
what is happening here, you're blowing my mind. Rick Grimes
from Walking Dead, same thing. He's Australian or something. Yeah
when he starts, or the guy from Billions, the red
haired guy, but he was also in Yeah, yeah, he's
British crazy, Yeah wild Okay, Amy, thank you? Yeah. I
was just thinking too. If you work for the CIA

(25:45):
and your job is to watch oh sweet, also makes
me feel worse. So like if they're only telling us
that stuff, then they don't care if we know that.
So there's a lot oh yeah that we don't a
lot they I feel like we only got like the
stuff they don't care if we knew thought were learning
like some deep down inside stuff on there. Now I
should stuff the CIA agreed to. I know, But isn't
it really wild to think about how people have infiltrated

(26:08):
themselves in our I mean even right now, there's probably
somebody working somewhere that they've arrested people recently for being
educators at major universities. Guys, there could be one in
this room. Yeah, yeah, guys, but like who someone would
have to slip up and they would have to do something.
Oh my Germans starts to come out. I do not

(26:31):
know what you ever see, like when people will say
a word and like they're they're sleepers, And if someone
would be like blueberry muffin and all of sudden they're on,
like oh oh for god, I'm tever see those or
they have words that turns them back on from sleepers
to um live cells. If someone says it to them
that means they're on. Oh oh no, but yeah, it's

(26:53):
really crazy to think, like when you read stories over
the years of how they've been in our in our systems,
Like there was one of you guys, be so mad.
I'm gonna tell you right now, I'd be so mad
up what you guys the spin didn't tell me. I
can't remember the details, but there was someone maybe in
that book talking to strangers in the beginning. They talk
about someone that worked was in the CIA from and
was working for Cuba. They had no idea she was

(27:16):
like the Cuban expert. There you have it, fun right,
all right. Voicemails. Here's one we got last night, Bobby.
What's going on man? Just working knowledge to your shot.
We're born in You got to like a good bag
of fixed foots. Got DK is a good nuh almost
good nun. Peanuts are good nuts you mixed out in

(27:37):
look some one bag, man, They are great cuts. Just
want to say, you guys remind me of Dad. We
told you guys in the morning. Man, you're just all
a bunch of great cuts. All right, you're saying we're nuts.
Interesting analogy. I here's another voicemail. Good say Bobby, you
remind me of Rob Lowell. Good day, I'll take it.

(27:58):
We were talking yesterday about celebrities that when someone tells
me a story and I want to know what the
person looks like they're talking about it, say just who's
the celebrity like? Most like, they don't have to look
exactly like them, but give me a frame of reference.
And so I did all of you guys, but I
didn't do me. You guys sit out the guy from Dexter,
which a lot of people didn't know who that was.

(28:19):
But or Roblow, I'll take that one too. That's not bad.
I can see that it's older, but he's way too
good looking to be me. I'm more of a six
point five, he's like a nine. Well, we're all generic
versions of the version you get like for sure. I
mean Amy doesn't look like Felicity girl like exactly. Thanks
for that. I'm just saying the same. You're Amy's pile

(28:41):
of stories. So, Bobby, curious your thoughts on this. Since
you do comedy, Steve Harvey said that he had to
stop doing stand up comedy because cancel culture would ruin
his television career. To quote him, he said, political correctness
has killed comedy. Every joke you tell now it hurts
somebody's feelings. I mean, I know a lot of friends

(29:02):
that are guarding their comedy more because they don't want
to be canceled. You know. With me, I pretty much
don't tell jokes unless I would tell the joke on
the air. You know, I'm performing tomorrow night in Orlando,
and I've written, you know, a whole hour's worth of material,
but I would be okay with reading most of them
on the air, if not all of them. So I
don't worry about that so much. I do worry about

(29:22):
that I'm gonna say on this show just flippantly over
hours of talking, someone's gonna take highlight blow up and
then I lose all my other jobs. But that's you
have to be scared of everything you say. And I
think a little bit it does sterilize things, because there
are things sometimes I'm like, I don't really like to
talk about this, and I go to Mike or Scooper
Steve and be like, all right, how am I getting

(29:43):
canceled if I say this? And then we talk about
how I'm gonna get canceled or how I'm not gonna
get canceled. That was just never a even with no
bad intent, even if I'm talking about it in a
way if I don't understand it, help me under You
just have to watch what you say all the time
that you can't even ask I don't understand this without
someone highlighting, cutting up it's happening recently, cut up a clip,

(30:05):
say well look at this, let's let's cancel them. So,
by the way, if anyone ever tries to cancel maw,
did you guys to step in? Not you guys are
on the show because you won't you all run away? No,
all the B teams step in and fight for me?
All right? Okay, well that's yeah Steve Harvey because TV
wise Family Feud and his new show, Judge Steve Harvey. So,
I have a list of some unusual confiscated items that

(30:26):
have gone through an airport, at least they've tried to.
And you'd think some of this stuff might be in
a foreign country, but nope, right here in the US.
Like a meth burrito through Houston. So was it someone
trying to hide meth but they put it in a burrito? Yeah? Like,
because you can take a burrito through TSA, but if
you open it up and it's full of meth, it's
not gonna make it. I was gonna say, that's a

(30:48):
wild Mexican restaurant, Like I don't know what a wine
holder that happens to be shaped like a gun. Oh yeah,
nothing shaped like a gun can go through. That's just
dumb on their part. Yeah, that happened in Sacramento, but
shaped like a gun, right, Yeah? In New Orleans someone
tried to go through with a chainsaw. What I don't
hate it. I'll be honest with you. I think take

(31:10):
the chain off and put it in the luggage that
you check. You can. You can probably take the chainsaw
in some way. Yeah, people have to travel with chainsaws.
But this probably had gas and a chain. Maybe she's
ready to probably had it on him. Yeah, you have
to check it so it goes under the plane. The
blood on Um, you got a machette in d c

(31:32):
and bear spray in Deston, Florida. Weapon and bullets inside
a deodorant container in at Olinic City. So these are
all things where TSA is like, oh, nope, we're gonna
go ahead and take those anybody. I can't do that,
all right? What else? So Dolly Pardon when she was
a kid, she was once like, uh, you know, started
following this really beautiful butterfly on her family's property, and
it took her deep into the woods and she was

(31:54):
totally lost and didn't know how she was going to
find her way home. And then she saw one of
her family cows named Bessie for real, and she held
onto the cow and the cow led her home. She
arrived like all bloody and bruised because she was like
going through the woods and stuff. But she still got
a whooping for leaving and getting lost. But yeah, she

(32:16):
was saved by her cow, Bessie. So I didn't know
if anybody's animal here has ever saved their life. No,
my dog gives no craps. None. We had some people
outside of our house and a couple of nights ago,
an ambulance was there putting somebody on a stretcher right outside.
We could see it. We're like, wow, this is what's
what's happening out there? And Stanley was just chilling. He
was like a lot of comotion, but he didn't do

(32:37):
anything really to save us. He didn't know what it was.
It could have been cops, a robber. Maybe he actually knew.
You didn't need to say that dog doesn't know anything. Okay,
he's a bulldog, didn't he wants to take a nap,
he wants to eat. That's it. But do you feel
like in a way they've saved you, like comfort wise,
any sort of emotional healing your animal. No, no, no healing,
love them, love them both, but no no heat, no no, no,

(32:57):
no saving me. Okay, Yeah, that's my pile. That was
Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.
If you've ever been to Huspies Food and Spirits and
Sister Bay, Wisconsin, you notice all the dollar bills on
the ceiling. All the customers come in and that tradition

(33:19):
you put a dollar bill on the ceiling. Really cool,
looks awesome. But at the end of the year, they
always donated to charity like a food bank, helped pay
medical bills. Well, there was one of their servers. It's
been out of work for nine months battering lymphoma. This
year they donated five thousand dollars from the ceiling all
to that server. That's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. That's
where the money went. It's pretty cool they decided to

(33:40):
get because they could have kept the money at these
That's a good story. But that servers like, wow, this
is amazing, like taking care of their people. That's a
multifaceted when we like that, that is what it's all about.
That was tell me something good, Eddie. I do want
to check in because yesterday you had a hot dog
flavored candy cane. Yeah, and you complained about it all day.
I wasn't feeling well. How to go, dude? I was

(34:01):
last night. I was walking my dog at like nine
thirty pm and I still tasted it in my mouth.
Do you think the candy canes like a joke, like
you give it to someone and they can't stop tasting it. Yes,
it's a bad joke. It's not even a good prank,
because a good prank is like we got you jokes over. Dude.
It was twenty four hours later, and I'm telling you
right now, if I burped, I can probably still smell

(34:22):
the dumb hot dog. Well. Most people, though, don't have
to eat the whole candy cane. I've had most of
them lick it and they go, this isn't terrible. Yeah,
since you lost, you had to eat the whole things.
Not good man. Let's go to a voicemail. Here's what
we got last night. Hey, good morning studio. I just
had a quick morning corny for you. What generation does
Forest Jump belong to? Jen? Hey, Jenny, have a good one.

(34:46):
He liked it. He liked his own a joke. That's good.
All right, Let's go over to Amy with the corny
Morning Corny. How did the pharaohs convince people to build
their Egyptian monument? How did the pharaohs convince people to
build their monuments? It was a pyramid scheme. That was

(35:10):
the morning Corny. A lot of words to get us there. Sorry, Okay,
we have a secret celebrity on the line, and we're
gonna have lunchbox money if he can guess who it is.
Oh yeah, you'll get five questions yes or no only
Oh man, that's shift. We're starting at fifty dollars and
every question you ask is ten dollars off. Oh well,

(35:33):
that's tough. Yeah, and at any point you can just guess.
But if you guess wrong, you lose. Okay, okay, so
are And it's a real life celebrity like this is no,
this is no Joe blow We got off cameo. You
know what I'm saying. It's a real life celebrity and lunchbox,
you can make some money. They're not gonna say anything
until you ask your first question. Oh no, no, no,

(35:54):
they gotta at least say hello, so I can hear
their voice. But you can ask a question and you'll
hear their voice. Well, I would like to hear their
voice first. Well, you can say, will you let me
hear your voice? No, because that's one of my one
of my questions, right right, right, all right? Oh are
you currently appearing on a TV show? No? That's that's

(36:21):
all I get. All right, you're down, you're down off
ten bucks? Goodness? Um, I don't even know what to
ask this person. So it's a dude, obviously, But all
I have is that's a guy. Yeah, we know it's
a guy. Sure. Um gosh, I'm trying to think of

(36:46):
good questions that because you told me my question sucked.
Are you already some questions? No? He just said my
question was terrible. That last person was back because all
you got was a no, it's only guess there no questions,
that's all I can ask. Yeah? Um, TV solid? Because yeah,
are are you known for being in movies? No? I'm not.

(37:07):
Oh yeah, you got your extra words? Nice? Yeah, let
me let me ask our celebrity guests here, just a question.
You can hear him talk a little bit lunchbox. Okay, yes,
celebrity guest. How's your day going today? It's going awesome.
I woke up, Hit the gym made breakfast and you're
a bit Yeah. Hit the gym made breakfast. Wants to

(37:29):
win you some dough. Yeah, so he's active. Three questions.
He's active, he works out in the gym, breakfast, he's breakfast,
and he wants you. You even knew your name. That's
a good one. Well, because you said my name. Oh yeah,
but somebody knew would be like lunchbox. Is that a name?

(37:51):
And I don't think they would really care if you
won dough or money? Okay, what else could this person?
What could this person do? What could this person? Would
you like a hint? No? No, because I don't want
to be cheating. I don't want to cheat. You've always
wanted to cheat? Now, yes, when does the ethical lunchbox
show up? Give me? This person is in music? Oh

(38:14):
and music? Who's been in the news recently for music? Oh?
Have you ever appeared on TMZ? Yeah? I've made TMZ
before for sure. Wow. Wow? Oh I wonder from a
lot three questions down, I got it? Do you want

(38:34):
to guess and blow it? I'm not gonna blow it.
I got it. I got it. I got it because
he gave me some more words, and I got that voice,
and you've given me that. He's in music really helped
me that. Now I know that voice. Are you sure
you don't want to ask another question? How much am
I had? One hundred dollars right now? You're twenty dollars left? Yeah?

(38:58):
I should probably ask them. Say this, this celebrity, this
music superstar, just celebrated an accomplishment that very few people
in country music has ever ever celebrated. Maybe I should
pay attention to the skinny? Uh? What could he have

(39:19):
he accomplished? Um? Like I've only ever heard of since
our time here? Oh yeah, this person doing this maybe
once or twice ever? Ever? Yeah? Ever? Have I ever
met this person? You can ask him that question. I
don't know if I want to ask him that. That
may be a waste because I met a lot of
people and that doesn't really narrow it down, does it?

(39:40):
Have they ever? Have they ever been in the studio?
Ask him? That's a good question, A good question. Hey,
have you ever been in the studio multiple times? Yeah? Yo,
you have one question left for ten dollars. A lot
of people. Who'd you think you can guess for ten dollars? Well,

(40:01):
this next one that costs you five bucks. You don't
have to go broke. Yeah, next question one that costs
you five bucks. Go ahead, Okay, No, that's not a
good question. We'll just talk it through it. That's what
I was gonna say. Are you married? Why? That's healthful
question question, totally helpful. Go ahead, are you married? No?
Not five bucks? But that eliminates like, I know it's

(40:24):
not Luke Bryan. I know it's not Garth bro exactly.
Didn't sound like the rest to go? Not Sam Hunt
good one. Yeah, I can't be Billy Ray. He's married too.
Not Jacob. Okay, we're not gonna count every married country star. Yeah, lunchbox,
any guess on who this is for five dollars? Man,
I'm starting to think it's that car wash guy again

(40:45):
that you brought in here, Josh Josh from ticktok Oh.
But he was married, wasn't he? Yes? He was? Yes?
And yeah it hasn't been here multiple times. Oh, that's
a good point, and he didn't accomplish something that no
one ever has in this room. Maybe I'd also like
to say that this person is such a star that
I'm starting to feel guilty. I've kept them on the
phone doing nothing except going yes no, Like there's a

(41:07):
guilt setting in now because I'm wasting their time and
they're that big. They just accomplished something country music. He's
laughing now, lunchbox. I didn't we need a guess? We
need a guess for five bucks? Man. I can't even
think of any country people that aren't married. Now, sang it, no, no,

(41:30):
give me five seconds, mister, mister celebrity. What state were
you born in? I was born right here asleep? Oh
oh no, Christianson's married, born in Tennessee. Not married? Is no?
No right? Eldrews from Illinois, mister country music superstar. What

(41:55):
sport were you best? Yeah? What you play? Sports? What
sport were you best at? Up until you know age
twenty two? Would you say? Was? I was best at golf?
I actually had a scholarship to play golf. Oh, I
don't know if he's from here though. Kip More? Is
that your guess? It's Kip More? You're saying Georgia's own

(42:16):
Kip More Georgia. All right, everybody, welcome on Dustin. Yes,
stop and let me tell you what. Let's see let's
see lunch bucks and figure out what Dustin accomplished. Do
you know what do you think if you had to

(42:36):
pick what Dustin just accomplished? Man, here we go. He
had two albums go back to back a million. That
probably happened. But that's not okay. He got into the
the opry. He's already done that. That happened already, he's done. Okay,

(42:56):
I'm just gonna end this and tell you sorry. But
oh he won an award, a Grammy. The Grammys aren't
till they thinking about you had a six week number
one run on Billboards, six weeks and four weeks on
the radio chart, which which never happens. It's one of
the biggest songs. Um, let's just clapping now look at him,
Look Adam clapping, man, Dustin. I'm gonna go stream that

(43:19):
today just to make up for this. I apologize. Oh
good man, that was fun. That was a fun bit. Guys.
Thank y'all love to be part of that. Dustin, like
Nick ten, didn't have to do anything. Um, Dustin, Let's
talk about the song, which is why I wanted to
have you on. Whenever you know, you put a song
out as a single and you hope it's gonna do well,
like do you ever go? Man? This song is so
good that I can see it being a number one

(43:40):
song for a month. Basically, no, not not at all.
And honestly, with this one, we had probably two years
of going back and forth trying to figure out when
can we put this out? Who's the artist gonna be? Um,
you know, Lauren Lena thing on it first, and it
kind of didn't work out for her schedule on my
release schedule, so I just kept fighting and fighting and fighting.

(44:03):
I knew it was a special song, and I think
timing is everything and the music biz, and it happened
for reasons. Here we are one of the biggest songs
of the country music over the last year. There, Dustin,
lunch and thinking about you. I do want to move on,
but that's why we had you on was to kind
of acknowledge and also do this bit with lunch bikes.
But I saw a picture on Instagram, I think it
was recent. It was you and Luke Combs and Mark

(44:26):
Wills were you guys hunting. Were you guys hunting somewhere recently? Yeah,
so since from what they can tell, the early sixties,
the opery has done an annual hunt, like a hunting trip,
and the CEO of of Ramen now has a really
great spot down in Mississippi, so that's where we do
it every January. I think I've been there six seven years.
And yeah, this year, Luke Combs and Ray Fulture, Mark Wills,

(44:49):
Craig Morgan and myself were there is the artists, so
we were a little bit thin just for people being
cautious still, but it's just a great time. It's a
few days of hanging out, eating great food and sitting
around the fire and this year watching the National Championships
so that was cool. Oh, you guys got to watch
the game together too, That's that's cool. Yeah, Ray Is

(45:09):
Ray Falter Act actually used to be a quarterback coach
at Georgia, so it was really fun watching him from
the couch, just in disbelief the whole game because it
was such a great game and a roller coaster m
It was cool to be there with those you know,
true fan that is wild. Okay, well let me say
this and we're gonna play this song in a second.
But it's been almost two years since your last album

(45:30):
was released, which is you know, in Pandemic slowed a
lot of things. January seventeenth, twenty twenty. I believe when
it comes out. How do you know when it's time
to release another album, Well, that's just me being ready
and having the songs that I'm proud enough of to
feel like they deserve being released. So m I was
hard to work all through twenty twenty, just writing and

(45:52):
you know, trying to keep myself sane and um. We
finished up the album in November and turned it in. Yeah,
it's gonna be coming here pretty soon. Okay, this is
what this is what we'd like to do. Whenever you
do finally have a big announcement about a record or
a new song like this time, come and see us.
We won't put a you know, a curtain over your
head and play guest, Dustin Lynch. We'd just like you
to come up and share with us when you have

(46:13):
something new, all right, I would. Yeah, I love that
bit a minute since I've been in there with you guys.
Let's come head for sure, all right, Dustin Lynch celebrating
a six week number one, which is incredible. No one's
ever done. Now. I know we'll never get it. Well,
never get it. We're gonna play it now. Everybody cloud
for Dustin Lynch put a lot today. Let's play thinking
about you a right Dustin? Thanks buddy, y'allously, thank you.

know if it has a name, like a specific name,

(51:49):
but it's the call. It's the Colosseum, the arena, the colosseum.
But I don't know if it's like the mister Mario's colossum.
You're just gonna go out to the coliseum that called zom.
The answer is the call sea. Yeah, nice shot, lunchbox.
What's the hardest natural substance in the world. I know

(52:17):
where his mind is right now, where my mind is, lunchbox.
What's the hardest natural substance in the world. This is easy, trivia,
It's easy. It's called a diamond. That's correct. Wow. Yeah,
And I thought he's gonna say rock. Oh dude, I
went diamond mining. I learned a bot about diamonds when
I did my research, Eddie, Come on, what land animals?

(52:39):
Stop looking at me? Ami. What land animal who also
spends time in water can open its mouth the widest?
Sometimes it's called by its nickname a river horse. What
what land animal but also spends time in the water

(52:59):
can open its mouth the widest. Sometimes it's called by
its nickname a river horse, old river horse. Remember that
one river horse. It's a land animal, so that would
be either an alligator or a crocodile. Open the mouth

(53:20):
the whitest a river horse a river horse. I feel
like maybe a crocodile is a river horse because the nile.
The crocodiles are in the nile. I'm an alligator. They're
in the swamp. Though, Why would it be a horse.
Do people ride alligators? I'm just thinking to myself. Amy's laughing.

(53:46):
Why are you laughing? No, I'm not dang it, dude,
I don't know. I'm gonna guess alligator show. You both
know it's a hippopottom is been. I had no idea,

(54:08):
but I didn't know. I didn't have crocodile on my
right arm. A river horse is a hippo. Yeah, lunchbox
is the winner. Every time I've come up and everybody
and Amy stop it, big one. She roots against you

(54:32):
so hard. Hey, I'll say this though, the one point
we gave Morgan earlier was actually Amy's point. So just
the standings are right now. Um Eddie three, oh Amy one,
Lunchbox one. He Morgan does not have one. Morgan has one.
I don't know. I just you know what, everybody gets
a point. I don't keep tracking this crap. Eddie has three,
everybody else has ray. Heck, you have a point two.
You need to play over to Amy. Let's get in

(54:57):
the morning, corny morning. How do you become a tight
rope walker? How do you become a tight rope walker?
There's an online training program? No, didn't hit, didn't hit.
I don't understand. I know. Okay, we're of the running.
Now we're also the worst joke of all time. No, no, no,

(55:20):
do that joke account. How do you become a tight
rope walker? There's an online I mean there's something there
because of the line you know online. But oh no,
I didn't. I didn't even get. Yeah, that's why I
even gave you a little online training program. I once it.
Sometimes here's the thing, it comes out of my mouth,
and then I realize it wasn't they good. It's not

(55:42):
gonna work. It's not And I know that's on a
show for me. I I mean, like, should have done.
What do you call a man in a hole? What? Doug? Okay,
that's funny that it's time for the good news. Linda

(56:05):
Holton went out to get the mail at her house
in De Moin in Iowa, but she slipped on some
ice and fell. She struggled to get back to her feet,
but she couldn't get back up. She was stuck outside
where the wind chill was five degrees below zero. No
one stopped to help her until Chris Meyer happened to
pull up in a mail truck. It wasn't even as
normal route, but he was at the right place at

(56:25):
the right time. There's footage from her security camera that
shows Chris seeing her confused like what's happening here, lifts
her off the ground, carries her back into the house.
He even went to pick up the mail that she
had dropped in the fall. She said she's not even
sure how long she was out in the freezing cold,
but the time stamp on her security footage shows it
was nineteen minutes. Wow, that so long she was out there.
Here's a clip of the mail carrier saying that, you know,

(56:47):
if this was his grandma, he would have hoped someone
would have stepped into If it was my mother, my grandma,
I'd want someone to help her out, and there was
nobody there to help her. Awesome story. That's what it's
all about. That was tell me something good. Amy has
a weird fascination with Mexico and not just the country
but the cartel. Yeah, if there's a show that comes out,

(57:09):
she's gonna watch it. Well, so that would also a
lump in like Columbia and other South America countries that
participate in drug activity. Mike's family had to pay off
the cartel. Yeah, yeah, recently. So they took a bus
ride to Mexico's eighteen hours and the bus driver told him,
if you guys want to avoid getting stopped, we need

(57:30):
some money from y'all. So they took a bus trip
from where from Texas to Mexico for because their family,
your family, My grandma turn nineties, so they were going
to see her. So why would the bus drivers say
because eighteen hours and the bus driver drove right now
hour straight. Yes, that's a that's legal, I guess though

(57:50):
anything charter bus that does the route, no, I get it.
But when we have a tour bus, our driver coll
on drive for eight to nine hours and we have
to take a second driver with us not in safe whatever,
get some bumblebee yellow jackets from the gas station and
keep on rolling. Ye eighteen wheeler roll on. So where
did the bus driver tell them that when they were
in Mexico, like after they crossed the border. Because sometimes

(58:12):
what happens. The cartail will stop a bus and take
everybody's valuables. So it seems like they have some kind
of deal to where like, okay, this bus paid, we
got the money from them, they're good to pass. So
my family had to pay money. So the bus driver, okay,
help out. I'm crossing into Mexico. I'm on the bus.
We just crossed into Mexico. We're allowed to go through.
The bus driver stands up and says, what we need

(58:34):
to raise three hundred and sixty dollars so we don't
get stopped. You know who it's going to. And so
the three hundred and sixty dollars, when does it get
handed off? Does the bus not stop at all to
hand off the money? Stop? Maybe they signal somebody on
the road that its butts paid, don't stop us, and
then they pay them later. How do we know the
bus driver just isn't getting too Oh maybe he venmos
it right away. No, no, no, maybe the bus driver

(58:56):
just keeps the money and threatens this cartail. But the
cartalls has nothing to do with it. And I don't
think drug dealers do venmo and also a drug three
hundred and sixty dollars to them out and it's not
a lot for a drug dealer who's probably got millions
and millions. I would think, what do you think happened?
What do you what's your your story? After I talked
to my mom about it, it kind of sounds like
maybe it was just the bus driver like fearing everybody

(59:17):
and they're like, oh, we don't want to get stopped,
we need this money. But also the police there. I
mean you could pay them off to do anything, so anybody,
it could be any more, could be any later. Anyway,
did they ever get stopped by the cartel? You never
got stopped. They made it there, no problem. And they
also shot out to them for sitting for eighteen hours.
It's a long bus trips. Did they get their money back? Now?
Who raised them? Who raises the money? My dad did. Wow.

(59:39):
My dad got up to go to the restroom and
he became the one that got voluntary to raise all
the money. So he had to go around to everybody
and get their money. One guy didn't pay him. He
had to go back to him and get the get
the amount from him. So what happens if the cartel
pulls the bus over, they'll come on the bus and
basically go through everybody's bags or their wallet and take

(01:00:00):
any cash they have on them, any jewelry, and then leave. Yeah,
because you're saying the cartel, Like the people at the top,
those are the ones with millions of dollars. They're not
worried about this petty stuff maybe that's getting collected or
this three hundred dollars or this. Like. These are the
the people working the roads, Like they keep that probably
for themselves or do they have to go turn it

(01:00:21):
over to the big Yeah, like it's just part of
them maintaining that control. I saw Mexico was fun. No, man,
I mean, can't coon is about it anymore. The guy
went up on the jet ski started shooting into the beach. There,
don't go there either. Then that pulls up on a
jet ski and he starts firing into the beach for

(01:00:44):
what ss and giggles Gollie, it's crazy. Yeah, Mike, do
you not go to Mexico? No, I haven't been in
fifteen years because you're scared of because you don't really
want to go, because I'm scared. Do people in Mexico,
if they have it, are alway supposed to drive with
the extras just in case you have to pay somebody off.
You're not supposed to really take any a lot of money,
but then how do you pay someone off if you

(01:01:05):
don't have money, like just enough to get there and back.
But if you have a lot of money, it's not good.
So then I'm torn. Yeah, because they're not gonna kill you.
So like if you only have they're not gonna kill you. No,
they don't have any money, they're gonna kill you. They
won't kill they won't kill you, but they beat you. Maybe,
I don't know, it depends. They'll probably still your car. Okay,
I hate mister, still your car. I had friends of
mine that worked in Mexico City and somebody came into

(01:01:27):
their business and made them all get naked. They stole
everyone's money and then they left and so everyone just
left their naked being like, well, we can't do anything.
And that's what That's just Tuesday. This happened. That's what
probably like eight years ago. Wow, is this in the
commercials for visit Mexico? Because I haven't seen I haven't
seen anything out and you're in, but they're safe. Have

(01:01:48):
they ever? Have you guys ever been stopped my parents
have it. My uncle's get stopped a lot because oh
Man and Amy used to support this. I don't support
it at all. On you stream it, they make more.
They don't make money from these stories. No, because if anything,
I'm like, you see how the American DA workers are

(01:02:09):
like down there and they're trying to figure everything out
and stop the crime. I don't know. At one point
Amy want to go on a gang tour in LA.
That's changed. That change that but has a long long
time ago, yeah, very long, like I don't even know
what because yes, you don't want to like glorify that
activity and you and aw at it. I just was

(01:02:30):
more fascinated that that is going on, and I felt
like something there was some good donation made if you
did do that tour. But I'm not going to ever
do it. Don't worry I'm a hypocrite because I watched
Ted Bundy documentaries. Yeah we are you into serial killers? No,
but if it's a good one, like like I'll watch
and be entertained by that. I mean I watched Ted Bundy.

(01:02:50):
I watched that Ted Kazinski, the Uni Bomber. Oh yeah,
what was that one them that we were all the BTK.
Oh yeah, oh man BTK killer. But that but then
also mine mine Hunter, Mine Hunter's great. So yeah, listen,
I'm a hug hypocrit. I'm just kind of putting spolight
on you right now because it's much easier for me.
But I just thought, Mike story is really interesting. It is,
and now will not. I have a friend who does

(01:03:13):
some work in Mexico City and he goes down and
he has to be as soon as they land in
the airport, has to be escorted to the hotel, and
anytime he leaves hostel, you have to have somebody with
him everywhere he goes. That does not sound like the
life for me. It's wild. Anything you'd like to say,
Mike to end this segment, I'm just glad they got back.
Say that's true. And also, before you leave, any three
hundred sixty dollars smaller, just in case, combine your money down. Sorry. Today,

(01:03:37):
this story comes to us from Silver Spring, Maryland. Nine
one one got a call, Hey, I'm stuck in a
chimney and gives them the address. So firefighters come. They
have to remove all the bricks on the chimney on
a little bit of the wall to get the man
out and they think, oh, he just lives there now.
He was trying to break into the house, so they
had to take him to jail. It's a pretty vulnerable call.
They have to call and say, hey, come to me,

(01:04:01):
also me he's been robbing. Yeah, that's last resort for Yeah,
because you tried. You've probably been there a long time,
You've cycled the process. Can I get out? Am I
going to die? Will anyone hear me? I mean? And
finally it's pray you have a bar on your cell phone? Yeah?
Signal Yeah, and then you have to somehow get to
your cell phone. You're stuck in a chimpy but hopefully

(01:04:23):
you can even get to your cell phone. What happened
to him? Oh, you gotta rushed and he was taken
to the hospital but non life threatening injuries. All right,
that's that's what it's. I'm lunchboxed. That's your bone head
story of the day. It is. There's a guy who
was going through Starbucks and he was in the middle
of one of those pay it Forward chains, and so
he gets up and like, hey, the person paid it
forward to you, would you like to pay for the

(01:04:43):
next person? And he's like, how much is the next
person it's a forty three dollars and his order was
only six dollars. Oh, and he's like, I do not
want to pay it forward. And so he broke the chain.
And so some people are upset with him. Some people
are not upset with him. You're a feeling, Oh, you
can't be upset with him. No, he went there for
his whatever six or frappuccino and not for the person
behind him, like five orders. Also, I don't think it's

(01:05:06):
anyone's job to keep the chain going. Like, let's remember
why this started. It's one person. I wanted to do
something nice for one person. One person doesn't started to
go out. Your hope is it's fifty it's I would
like to pay for the person behind me, and if
that wants to roll on, great, But if you just
want to and this is something I've had difficulty doing,
if you just want to accept love and just accept it,

(01:05:28):
you aren't allowed to do that and go, well, I've
had a rough day. I would actually like that, thank
you for my free order, and then drive on and
maybe eventually you can do that for somebody else. I
don't think there's any shame and breaking a chain, even
if it's somebody has another six dollar order behind you, right.
And also the chains are annoying sometimes because you're like,
all right, have you ever been in one? Yeah? Oh,

(01:05:48):
and I've always broke it. I didn't break it. I
didn't break it, but because I felt the pressure that
someone would be working on the Starbucks and be like
on TikTok. You know who broke the chain, Bobby Bones,
And now I want to be a part of that.
But if you want to just accept it, that's okay.
That's my point. It wasn't meant to be a chain.
It's meant to do something nice for someone, and you

(01:06:08):
can just receive the niceness sometimes and sometimes you can
just give the niceness. So I'm not hating on this
guy at all. It's got over a million views. He's
like I ended the twenty three car long chain because
it was forty six bucks. Also, what you could do
to really get someone is once you know the chain's going,
you could drive back around, Oh keep gooding and just
get back in and make a huge order. And no,
I'm probably gonna get us paid for. You know. I

(01:06:28):
guess you think, Okay, that's what's up. We will see
you next week, by everybody,
