Speaker 3 (04:28):

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I really appreciate you listening. Hope your day's going awesome.
All right, there she is. There's Brittany in North Carolina.
We'll put her on hold and we'll play this game
again next week. That's never gonna get it. Never go
You're gonna get it.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
You be mail and we read it all the air
did something we call Bobby mail.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, hello Bobby. I was with the friends earlier this week.
We were talking about kids. One of our friends jokingly
said that I didn't have a valid role in the
converse because I was only a step parent. I know
he was joking, but it did trigger me because I
know the role I've played in my wife's kids, and
it's a crap done more than what their deadbeat biological

(05:11):
father has done from a time, attention, financial and emotional
support standpoint. The evening got noticeably tense after that. I'm
having trouble even viewing my friend the same way. How
do I turn this off? How do I go back
to being true friends again with this person? Is this
a bigger issue than I am admitting to signed just
a step parent? First of all, you have the right

(05:31):
to be upset about anything. It's just how you react
to it, right. I think I would also be offended
if I were you, but my offendedness once I calm down.
And when you're triggered, you're not thinking rationally. You have
animal brain. You're reacting. You don't want to react.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Once you get out of reaction mode, think how serious
was your friend? Probably just joking?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Probably thinks that a little bit because they don't understand
the dynamic, but probably just joking.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
This would even be a thing.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I think I would bring back up at some point
to your friend whenever it's not a serious situation, Like
I haven't think about what he said. I was a
stepparent man that Like that was tough, Like I really
work to be a good parent. Like, if it's bothering
you that much, I think you should say something about it,
but not in a way that's like, let's have a
seat and have a talk about this.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
There will be a natural way to do it.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
You obviously are very invested in your kids' lives step
kids even, but I'll see kids because they're important to you,
and you do deserve to be triggered if that triggers you.
But I would not ruin your friendship because of this,
because I don't think they meant anything by it, And
they also don't understand what a step parent goes through
because they don't not live in that world. They probably
never had one and they aren't one, and it's a

(06:40):
little unfair for them to understand what you're going through
if they're not, even if they're being rude about it,
like I had a stepdad forever he was except for
my grandma.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
He was there Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Keith was there more for me than anybody else was,
including my mom, including my real dad. So unless you
have a stepparent or you were a step kid, you
actually don't understand. So I do understand, and why the
person made that joke, they don't get it. So understand
they don't get it. Be like, yeah, that kind of
feelings a little bit, and that's okay to say that
and then just keep rocking.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
So there's a book that comes to my mind right now.

Speaker 9 (07:13):
It's from Sewn and e Quist, and it's called I
Just haven't learned That Yet.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
And I feel like, for your friend, this is something
they just haven't learned yet.

Speaker 9 (07:19):
And I love using that even with myself for my
own life, Like if I've messed up in something or
I'm trying to have grace for someone else, I'm like, oh,
maybe they just haven't learned that yet, and it really
helps me move past it faster.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
I feel like I'd write a ten thousand page book
called I haven't learned that yet.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Everything I haven't learned. Here we go.

Speaker 9 (07:35):
The yet is the key word because it's like there's
room for growth here. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know that that personal ever understand being a
set parent though, so a little bit of that. You
just have to kind of be like, they don't get it,
but it's still your friend. Don't run the friendship and
read the book Things I Don't Know by Bobby Bones.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I'm gonna write that one. It's gonna be awesome. It's
gonna be awesome.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
We got your email and we read on their Now
let's find the clode.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Bobby failed that.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeamn.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
This game's called on Lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
He created this game since he retired as champion of
Elder Versus Millennial. The game is worn out. We said,
create a new game. He said, Love on Lunchbox. What
are the rules?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
The rules are.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Everyone writes down a sentence about what they love about me,
and I will get those in my inbox or Mike's
gonna hand.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Them to get We cut them in papers.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Okay, they are, and.

Speaker 7 (08:21):
I'm gonna read them anonymously, don't know who sent it,
and I pick a winner. Whichever sentence I like the best,
the best thing they love about me this week gets
a point first one to five wins.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Okay, okay, really simple. It's very selfish of him. It's
not really fun for us.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
It's actually fun because you get to you know, you
guys like to pimp joy.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
So pimps enjoy my way we did. Yeah, let's hear it.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Okay, so just hand him to them. They're all mixed up.
How many are there?

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Oh, there's a lot one who six or six?

You are destined, you are intended to be a star,
and I know someday you'll go far, and I really
hope you stay there.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
That's a good one, okay, all right, next one up.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
I wish I was as relaxed as you are about messiness.
Every time I think of you, it reminds me that
I need to take out the trash. Well, these are
kind of like insults. We're loving on you and saying
stuff about you.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
You talk. There were no rules other than just right stuff.
Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
You look just like Tom Brady if Tommy Brady pond
his seven Super Bowl rings for money to buy meth.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Oh, man, how you feel so far?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Man?

Speaker 7 (09:49):
I feel I mean, I'm glad you're thinking about me,
but man, these are these are wrong?

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Not really what you thought. The rules are the.

Speaker 9 (10:00):
Super talented star that's relaxed and looks like Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah. And then also someone said to you, you're gonna
go to the stars, right, super talent.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
You just can't wait to you that far away from them. Okay,

always really great to hear through the wall four rooms away.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
True, you are pretty loud, dude, all right, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Oh here's a nice one.

Speaker 7 (10:27):
You and Keith Urban are like because you both have
such a distinct smell. I always know when you walk
into a room because the smell of farts and nhiliates.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
My nose annihilates, I think, is what that is.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Yeah, the case for Keith.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah you Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
It's impressive. How you can this is the last one.
By the way, it's they were playing love lunchbox. This
is not love. It's impressive how you can manage to
avoid your inbox, conquer world and still have enough time
for the those Olympic gold type naps.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Truly multi tasking hero.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Ok So, if you had to pick a winner there, gosh,
what were you expecting?

Speaker 7 (11:09):
I was expecting, like, Oh, your humor makes me laugh
every day. Even when I think about your jokes later,
I'm still laughing.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Something like that.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I don't know.

to give the point to the one that made you
feel the best.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Which one did you hate?

Speaker 7 (11:32):
I mean I hated the I mean it made me laugh.
But I don't look like I'm on myth So you
look just like Tom Brady. If Tom Brady pawned his
seven Super Bowl rings for money to buy meth that's out.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
That's out.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I guess I did not get a point.

Sick, but it's the point of you when you record
or yell with you, I know yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:24):
Or like when we are listening to him on the radio,
like if I'm in the car and he comes on,
I have to turn it down a little bit.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (12:30):

You and Keith Urban are alike because you both have
such a distinct smell. I always know when you walk
into a room because the smell of your farts annihilates
my nose. That's the winner because you know what, at
least you're saying my my parts are kind of like lethal,
Like at least if I'm they're gonna doing something doing something.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well, Okay, that winner and who gets the point this
week is Morgan Job.

Speaker 3 (13:07):

Speaker 4 (13:34):

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Okay, so we're back next week.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
But how long?

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Who knows?

Speaker 4 (13:39):
First? We want to get to five.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
We're renewing it for another week.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
But come up better compliments.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
You can't tell us what happen.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Okay, if you want a point, I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Really care about points. Actually, I just like to have
miss things right.

Speaker 9 (13:52):
So note to self, talk about immature boy things.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Congratulations on your first episode of Love on Lunchbox. Morgan,
congratulations on your point.

Speaker 8 (14:01):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (14:04):
It's time for the good news.

Speaker 9 (14:11):
So there's the Happy Driver in Minnesota. Her real name
is Jane, but she's a bus driver that has that
nickname because she is so cheerful every time someone gets on.
She even gives them little nicknames, like her regular passengers. Well,
a homeless, barefoot passenger got on, and what.

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Did Jane the Happy Driver do?

Speaker 9 (14:28):
She took off her own sketchers and gave them to
the passenger, and other people on the bus saw it
and started to share the story.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
And then it's gone viral and it's just a.

Speaker 9 (14:38):
Really special moment, especially the person that recognized in the back.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
Her name is Sarah.

Speaker 9 (14:43):
She was homeless herself at one point in time, so
it was really impactful for her to witness that type
of exchange because she knows what that feels like.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
A Couple things in my mind. Number one, can you
drive a bus shoeless? Is that according to code ooh?
Doesn't matter? Still like the deed.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Number two, it's not like a bus driver's making five
hundred thousand dollars a year. She just gave her shoes away.
That's a big deal. So hopefully she got something. They
go fund me to her and got her some shoes maybe.
Like in the end, what a great story by somebody
being completely selfless and just going you don't have shoes,
I'm gonna give you mine.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
That's wonderful. That is what it's all about.

Speaker 8 (15:19):
That was telling me something good.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Hey, Bobby, what's having him?

Speaker 5 (15:24):
Not too much? What are you doing, buddy?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Talking to you? Where are you right now?

Speaker 5 (15:27):
I'm in Oklahoma?

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Okay? Nice? Hey, same time zone. What's up, buddy? It
never happened. You're always like two hours earlier.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I know, I know. I missed you, buddy, Yeah, I
miss you too. Hey, I want to talk about this residency. Here,
you're doing it. You just accepted the millions of dollars
to do a residency, and I'm so proud for you.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
Look at this guy. He needed it. Now he's doing it.
Let's go.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
No, thank you, I'm sure he used it.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
I'll tell you what. So what's this residency going to
be about? What are you gonna do there? All the hits?

Speaker 5 (15:57):
That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
I don't know. I'm here to consult you.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
Yeah, I've been to two shows in Las Vegas residency shows. Obviously,
I went to probably fifteen or sixteen of Gwen's shows,
and years ago I went to see the very first
Shania Twain residency. That's probably been fifteen or sixteen years
ago at least. And so I know enough about them

(16:23):
to know that, you know, you got to change it up.
I mean, I know it's not I guess you don't
have to, but what I've seen and what I've heard
about him is it you got to change it up
from what you would normally do on tour. I mean,
and so still help me. I mean, you're just sitting there.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
Just sit there.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I'm just I'm going to tell you why it's going
to be amazing because first of all, and you're gonna
have to it's gonna be uncomfortable because I'm going to
compliment you a lot. So just sit back and accept.
I know, just sit back and accept the compliments. This
is why your Vegas residency show is going to be
awesome because the venues.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Are much tighter.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
They're a little smaller, but they're much tighter, meaning Blake's
gonna be super close to the audience. And think about
Blake is He's become such a larger than life personality.
I think at times people may forget that Blake can
really sing, and I think the two things that are
gonna really pay off are one he's hilarious and two
he can just sit there with a guitar and play
every freaking hit that he has and sound wonderful while

(17:23):
telling jokes, making other people who watch him extremely jealous
in the entertainment world because he's because he's got it all.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
So this is what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
But it's why it's going to be awesome because you're
gonna get to do and again, it's not gonna be
like an acoustic show, but there will definitely I would
assume be moments of you just sitting there talking to
the crowd. Because it is such an intimate place, I
think this would be the best place to actually see
you do a show.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Okay, wait a minut I'm rotting this down.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, put it all down there.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
I got it.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Well, thank you, buddy. And that is a good idea
because I know that's what Garth. I didn't get to
see Garth's show, but I heard that he just walked
in and sit down with just him and he's a
guitar and I don't want to necessarily do that, so
I could be ripping off Garth, and I've been doing
that my whole life anyway. But I do like the
idea of the intimate thing. And maybe there's a time

(18:14):
in the show where we can just do something acoustic.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
But I like that.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Thank you, Bobby.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
You're already doing this for everybody listening. Blake is not
playing me for a full He was already going to
do this because he knows what he's awesome at, and
that's playing music and being funny, and he's got all
these sections. I'm sure it's going to be awesome and
for everybody listening, Blake Shelton live in Las Vegas, his
first Vegas residency. It'll be at Caesar's Palace, the Coliseum
at Caesar's And so today's the big announcement, and the

(18:40):
public on seal is the sixteenth, so like a week
in a day, So today's Thursday. So next Friday is
the on sell at Blake Shelton dot com. That's pretty cool, man.
I'm sure they've offered you this many times.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
Why now, I don't remember exactly when the conversation started
about us putting an Old Rich in Las Vegas, but
that's when the conversations first started that I remember, and
that goes back. You can imagine five or six years ago,
just the early talks of an Old Red there, and
I just kept kicking the can down the road because

(19:13):
I figured, I don't want to do it until the
Old Red is up and running and all the kinks
are worked out, so I can go back and forth
between the two while I'm there. You know, it'd be
a lot of fun to do the you know show
at Caesars and then go pop into Old Red over
there and jump on stage there and do something with
whoever's playing over there, you know. So I just kept

(19:34):
pushing until this moment came, hoping that it would come.
And so here we are.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's super cool. It's gonna be a great show. Blake
Shelton's on with us. Which, by the way, you just
celebrated three years in marriage. How do you guys do
anniversary gifts this year?

Speaker 5 (19:48):
I'm laughing because this year was kind of it was
pathetic our anniversary happened, but it happened exactly when Wynn
still does the voice and I've officially been retired now
over a year, and so she was filming the voice
on the day of our anniversary. Just it's just the

(20:12):
way things worked out. And so those days are like,
you know, they're the longest days that we experience as
spoiled entertainers, you know, I mean literally, especially for Gwen.
She gets up at like five am and works till
ten or eleven at night. You know, filming the blind auditions.
It's kind of a run and gun thing. You know,
you've seen that side of that stuff. And so she

(20:35):
came in morning right before she left, and she had
already gone through her glam and stuff and she was
literally walking out the door and she had a box
and she was like this is really stupid, but I
looked it up and the three year anniversary traditional gift
is leather. And so I opened this box and it
was like, you know, leather scented things that you hang

(20:57):
in your truck, like over the the rear view mirror
and like a you know, a leather foam case or
something like that. And she was like, I know it's dumb,
but I just it was last minute and I gotta go,
you know. So that was that was this year. Our
first year anniversary was a little more special. You know,
we had actual gifts and and and you know, had

(21:20):
a moment. But this year was like, hey, we made
it three years. I'll see you later. What that sounds like?

Speaker 6 (21:26):
What she did for you? What'd you do for her?

Speaker 5 (21:29):
I don't remember. I think I I think, oh I
know what I did. I ordered, Uh, I had some
kind of you know, you ever heard of gold Belly.
You guys know what gold belly is?

Speaker 3 (21:38):
No, it sushi.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
Gold Belly is like this app where you can like
order food from restaurants from all across the country, Like
if you love biscuit Love, Biscuit Love is on there
right there in Nashville, and you can order biscuits from
Biscuit Love, but have them shipped frozen to my house
in Oklahoma. So I had ordered some cake, some things

(22:00):
that like, she loves Italian desserts. I ordered some Italian
desserts that we ate the next day, which was fourth
of July. It wasn't the best, I admit it.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
How did you and post Malone end up doing the
song together? For me a drink?

Speaker 5 (22:15):
I was laughing. I was telling my publicist West, I said, Man,
thank god post Malone got me back on country radio.
I never thought I would say something like that, But
I don't really know. You know, I had met him
six or eight years ago. We did a fifty year
anniversary to the Elvis Comeback Special when Elvis did his

(22:38):
television appearance after he came back out of the military,
and so CBS wanted to do this real, you know,
like fifty year anniversary, and I hosted the show and
then we had a bunch of different artists come and
perform Elvis songs. And post Malone was on this thing,
and he was a brand new artist. I think he
probably had two hits or something at the time, and

(23:01):
he was just a kid. He's still a kid to me,
But that was the first time I met him, and
we talked to that day and I realized he's from
right down here in Fort Work, that's not far from
where I live. And we hit it off. But I
never saw him again after that, you know, until this year.
At the Super Bowl, Gwenn and I did a performance

(23:22):
and we went up to watch the game in a
suite that they that they had, and then Posts sang
and Rebas sang the Anthem and America the Beautiful and
then they ended up coming up in that suite also,
and we's Gwynn and I and Post ended up trading
phone numbers that day. And it was another one of

(23:42):
those things whereas he said, you know, hey, I'm working
on some new music. We ought to all get together
and write and and if I had a quarter forever time,
somebody said that or I said that to somebody and
it never happened, you know, I'd have one hundred bucks.
But I damned if two months ago I didn't get
a call saying, hey, man, is that still your number?

(24:05):
And one thing led to another, and I went in
and sang this song and it was like, wow, this
sounds like one of them A songs i'd put on
one of my records, you know, Like, I mean, Post
is really really doing this like it And I got
to tell you, guys, I love the way. I know
there's always a controversy in country music about who who

(24:27):
belongs and who doesn't belong in whose country he's not
country that I don't think it's ever gonna that conversation
is ever going to go away. But I got to
tell you that the way Post has has gone about this,
I just have so much respect for him because he's
shown over the last few months that country music really
is something that this guy grew up on and it
really does mean everything to him. And he's tipped his

(24:49):
hat to all of his heroes. I mean these shows
that he's doing, he's pop up shows, he's singing. I mean,
he knows more country music than eighty percent of the
of actual country artist. You know, it's amazing. You know
the stuff he did at Coachella. I said, I did
a show with him the other day, and they're in
Nashville and he did that thing at the marathon over there,

(25:12):
And I mean he sits on a stool and he's
playing songs that he has no business even knowing. You know,
and he's just it's because he grew It's not like
he went and wood shed and worked these things up.
He grew up knowing them. And you can tell he's
just performing the songs as he's driven around in his truck,
singing his whole life, you know. And so I just

(25:32):
I respect that about him, because the guy is really embraced.
He's not just poking his head in and making a
record and getting out. You can tell this is something
that means a lot to him and that he's probably
obviously been planning to do for a long time. And
I don't think he's going anywhere. I mean, he hasn't
said that to me, but this seems like a natural

(25:55):
fit for him, and I'm happy for him.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Blake Shelton's on with us live in Las Vegas. It's
his first Vegas residency and tickets a week in a
day will be on sale at Blakeshelton dot com. It's
at Caesar's. It's gonna be awesome. Final question about Vegas.
Do you gamble in Vegas at all? Have any good
gambling stories?

Speaker 5 (26:12):
My only gambling story has come recently. Gwenn was in
Las Vegas doing a private show and her best friend
in the world came to the show, and we took
advantage of the the COVID masks because I said, hey,

(26:33):
does anybody have any of those? Because it's pretty much over.
You know, this is about a year ago, so you
didn't really see the whole thing was gone. But it's like,
does anybody have any of those COVID masks left in
their perse? I want to go down there and gamble,
And so we put on COVID masks and I spent
three hours in the casino. People walking Nobody knew knew

(26:54):
it was me, and they would have been looking for
me because Gwenn was there doing a show and I
had I had a great time playing roulette and slots
and it was incredible. I didn't win anything, but I
had a good time gambling.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
You're so tall.

Speaker 9 (27:09):
You're so tall, though, I feel like you would still
stand out. Did you have to like make yourself small?

Speaker 5 (27:16):
I found myself playing the games that must suck because
I would find places where there weren't a lot of
people to win, a lot of traffic, you know, and
so that's kind of where I just would go set
up and play and just kind of keep my head down,
and uh not that I'm afraid to be bothered, but
it's like, if I'm want to gamble, I'm let's do it,

(27:37):
you know.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Blake, Good to talk to you, buddy. Congrats on the
residency next Friday.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Blake. Good to talk to you, and hopefully we'll see
you soon.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Miss you, guys.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I'll see you all right, Blake, Seyboddy, Pile of stories.

Speaker 9 (27:53):
A new study found that sexy sounding GPS voices make
men take more risks.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
While that is it dumb thing ever heard, it's not.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
The research says men are more likely to run through
yellow lights when they're guided by GPS women with higher
pitched voices. These voices are associated with attractiveness, and it
influences men to be more reckless.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
I need to know who these guys are that are
trying to impress a GPS voice.

Speaker 9 (28:19):
Well, no, it's just like it's a response, like you
hear it and you suddenly want to be more risky.
So researchers say you need to make the voices in
your GPS system sound less feminine so that you can
drive more safely.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
This sounds like somebody's wife who made the story input
on the internet because their husband's obsessed with the voice
on there. I don't think there's a theme. I know
a bunch of dudes. None of them go, I'm really
going to prove it to this.

Speaker 9 (28:42):
If you don't know you're doing it, it's a subconscious thing.
It's not like you're like, oh, right now, I'm going
to run this yellow light because of it. It's like
you're hearing the voice and the next thing you know,
you're running the light.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
But also if you get fired up about running a
yellow light, you're kind of a wimp.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Anyway.

Speaker 9 (28:54):
It just says it's more reckless, and if you want
to be a safer driver, alter the voice to sound
less feminine.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
So needs to put on a man.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
I don't do any voice though, you know what on
my GPS, I get at it. Yes, I get so
irritated that they talk over my podcasts that I don't
have any voice on anything in my car or my
phone because I'm like trying to listen to Ryan Rossillo
and he's talking about Jamal Murray and it's like, and
Jamal Murray turn, let well what did Jamal Murray do?

Speaker 6 (29:24):
Yeah, but I'd rather be told when to turn.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
I can see what my almost.

Speaker 9 (29:27):
Okay, Thanksgiving maybe the first thing from your mind right now,
But travel experts are saying that now is the exact time.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
To be thinking about your Thanksgiving plans.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Three months, especially.

Speaker 6 (29:38):
If you're traveling.

Speaker 9 (29:39):
Yeah, they say there's a ton of holiday stress if
you put it off to the last minute, and summer
months are the best time to find the best prices
on flights if you are going to be flying for
the holiday.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
You know what's good.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I just felt a little, i won't say break through,
a little minor positive change. You mentioned a holiday in
my instant before I even said anything out. It wasn't negative.
That never almost never happened. You were like, hey, thanks
Games coming up, and I was like, oh cool, three
months looking forward to that because we go to Kaitlin's parents'
house and it's just nice and fun. And we never

(30:11):
really had a bunch of holidays where things were nice
or fun or like a big family meal.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
No, you probably used to be like Thanksgiving, what am
I gonna do?

Speaker 3 (30:18):
That's exactly what it was.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
It would be like over like yeah, yeah, yeah, but
I know, and I'm not being mister downer, like I
actually had a very positive feeling inside of me that.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
I was like, well, that felt a little weird. Didn't
even think about it being negative.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
We're going to drive to Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
It just depends if we do the circle, because we
will drive. If we do the circle, we'll go to Arkansas, first,
Central Arkansas, which is six hours from here, and then
we'll do the three hours up to Fort Gibson, which
is outside of Tulsa, and then we'll do the eight
and a half back. But if we're just gonna go

(30:53):
back and forth to Oklahoma, we'll fly. That's just too too,
too long drive. I'm booking it.

Speaker 6 (30:59):
Just book it now. And if you drive, listen to
a male.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Not gonna do that? Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 9 (31:05):
If you lose in the fantasy football league that Luke
Hones is in with his friends, the punishment is you
have to sing in front of a crowd of sixty
thousand people. And some people online are like, wait a second,
that would actually be fine, but Luke's friends are pretty
bad at singing, so it was definitely a punishment.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
It's a funny video. I saw it. I think felt
like it.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Was a little unfair for Luke, Like, what's his punishment
unless he has to buy everybody a car.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, because he could just sing and be like, oh cool.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
And I'm sure there's something like he has to get
on stage and admit it.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
But I would say, as if you brought me and
this consultant, that's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
I love it. But if Luke loses, he has.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
To buy everybody a car, that's awesome, or a watch
because he loves watches.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
Car, but a car would be more usable by the
guys in his league.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
Good point.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, or he gives everybody, like everybody in the league's
usually a twelve team, like ten thousand dollars cash.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
Well, what's the what's your your league?

Speaker 9 (32:00):
Like?

Speaker 6 (32:00):
What do y'all do for punishment?

Speaker 3 (32:01):
We know, we just have a winner. We don't really
we're not really into humiliation name that's weird.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
We don't like Hazel. We're a healthy group. We just
give compliments, okay.

Speaker 6 (32:10):
And I also love that they chose to sing walking
in Memphis. That's so wad washis.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Oh, I know what that song is, but I did
not know by them singing that's what that's what they
were singing.

Speaker 6 (32:20):
I mean, that's my pile.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the
good news.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Bobby.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yogi's been with the shelter for two years. Yogi is
wildly shy around people when they would come into the shelter,
and because Yogi was so shy, people really didn't look
at Yogi a second time. And so the shelter then
started doing a bunch of social media stuff with Yogi
talking about how shy Yogi is, like embracing the shyness,
and so then people wanted to come around and actually

(32:52):
see this shy Yogi and just like that, because they
actually identified Yogi for being so shy, people wanted to
see the shy dog and adopted the shy dog. So
after two years of Yogi not being adopted, Like whoever
came up with that little marketing strategy, I was like,
how do we get Yogi to be not be so shy?
Because I'm sure they did that forever. They were like,
let's just embrace them. Put it on social media. It's

(33:12):
the number one shy dog in the in the shelter,
and that's what people came to see and almost immediately
got her. All same dog, slightly different marketing, and the
dog was scooped up and now isn't at home.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Genius.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, I mean, so so we should do with Lunchbox
are shyest Lunchbox to help people shy and tries to
help people out humane society Naples.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Congratulations, you guys did a great job with that. That
is what it's all about.

Speaker 8 (33:39):
That was telling me something good.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
