Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Wake, Wake, go in the mall and it's already and
the Dodgs already, and his lunchbox Morgan too school to
stay bred at.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It's trying to put you through fog.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
He's running this Wig's next bit. The Bobby's on the mix,
so you know what this.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Is, the Bobby Ball.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Here's a voicemail we got last night Morning Studio.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I am currently standing in a hotel in Jamesville, Florida,
waiting for my husband to get ready to go to
his graduation.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
We both listen to.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Your show every morning, so I was calling to see
if maybe you can play this to congratulate him on
graduating with a dochelor's degree. That's taking a very long time.
We had some months from the road, but I'm very
proud of him, and I'm very grateful that our son
had such an amazing role model to look up to.
Love you all, thank you so much for everything you do.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Let's go well. Congratulations. I wish we know you're because
we'd sing a little song for you. But if you're
her husband in Gainesville graduating, a tip of the cap,
a big shout out, a big backflip, all that stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Congratulations, sir, it's no name though.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
But a great role model. If you have a kid
and you graduated, this is for you.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
If that's you, this bud's for you. Remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
All right, let's go to Amy and get in the
morning corny, The morning Corny.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
What's a math teacher's favorite dessert?

Speaker 7 (01:29):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Pretty funny, pretty.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
The morning corny.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
Well, I did say one for but what is it?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Three for one?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Two?

Speaker 5 (01:41):
It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I'm forgetting stuff as I will age the little details.
There's a story about Garth Brooks and how obsessive he
is about living a simple life. Now we've got some
stories in this room as well. I'll tell you I'm
the biggest Garth Brooks fan ever. So is Eddie, so
we all are. But the story goes that Garth Brooks
has half a billion dollars, but friends say that he

(02:04):
lives his life like he doesn't have two nickels drubbed
together now at all?

Speaker 5 (02:07):
If that's true?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Exactly, he avoids, According to Closer Weekly, he avoids the
trappings of fame and fortune. He and his wife rarely
go anywhere exotic, They eat a decent amount of fast food.
They drive economy cars. Quote Garth borders. I'm obsessive when
it comes to living a simple life.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
A couple things. One, Raymundo was married on Garth's property.
Raymundo is basically Garth's godson. Fair Yep, anything you'd like
to say about this, I mean that all sounds true.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah. I don't see Mercedes.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Benzes or really not even like hiding up there Bugatti's.
It's his old trucks, tractors and crap. That's awesome, that's wild.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Except didn't you say Ray is like a basketball gym
and his property the gym. Yeah, like a full basketball court, and.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
We don't have that as normal people.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, but I would say that's like Kane Brown has
a basketball court. Oh yeah, yeah, but I would say, like,
I don't know, I can't hold that against him.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
That's like you're a shit.

Speaker 8 (03:10):
Not I was gonna say, that's something when you resell it,
it's still there.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Like it's an investment.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, I don't know, you're okay, I'll agree. Having a
full indoor basketball gym, I guess I don't think of
that one to think of like luxury. I think it
like brands Scuba Sea. If you ran into Garth at
the grocery store I.

Speaker 9 (03:28):
See about public so I won't say which one, but
I see him there at least a couple of times.

Speaker 8 (03:32):
Isn't this crazy scubacy is Garth Brooks And it's so
mind blowing.

Speaker 9 (03:35):
So I remember I was over in the produce area
getting fruits or whatever, and I hear this deep voice
and my son's like, bananas yellow and he's like, yeah, man,
bananas are yellow. And I look over as some guy's talking.
I'm like, oh my god, there's Garth Brooks talking to
my freaking son right now. They're talking about banas and
how they're yellow. And he gives me this like emotional
speech about how time is so important and spend time
with your children because it's a blink of an eye

(03:56):
they can grow up.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
No way.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (03:58):
And also I was like, I'm maybe this isn't Garth Brooks,
maybe it's to look alike. And sure enough, he goes
to another aisle and to hear some guys say, hey, Garth,
how's trush doing.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
I'm like, oh my god. He frequents this Publix.

Speaker 9 (04:08):
And so then I go on the park a lot
looking for a phantom or a Rolls Royce or something
and I won't say what suv it is, but it's
a very basic suv with a G on it.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Like very normal g it.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
His G logo is on the.

Speaker 9 (04:23):
That's pretty cool though, But it's such a normal car
you wouldn't think it was him.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
You think it'd be a fan of Garth.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Maybe it's because there are so many generically like that.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
He puts a ged remember which one to get in?
We had one before.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Darth Brooks gave your kid a life lesson at the
grocery store and me.

Speaker 9 (04:41):
About to take time and enjoy my children. I'm like, dang,
that's really cool.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
What the heck is happening?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
And he goes to Publix to buy his own groceries.
Sometimes I thank God, Well this story is accurate from
everything that we know as well.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Garth Brooks is awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
And when we first moved here, I was like, eventually
Garth Brooks is not going to be nice, and he's
been super kind and nice and amazing every single time.
Amy went to go pick up a bench that she
got on Facebook marketplace and then drama happened.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
So I don't know how this turns out.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
So Amy's gonna give us a scenario, and we guess
what happened when Amy, you bought a bench on Facebook Marketplace?

Speaker 5 (05:21):
Yes, walk us to it.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Go.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
I mean, this is the most amazing bench.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
I have been looking at it on the actual website
from the company and on Facebook. It's brand new, but
it was half off okay, so I was like, okay, deal.
So I make the arrangements and I say, I'm going
to be there at eight thirty pm to pick it
up because that song's gonna take me to meet up
with one of my friends. She's got the truck, and
then another friend was coming to like help carry it.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
And I said I could be the right eight thirty with.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Facebook Marketplace because I've never used that. Do you pay there? Like,
do you change money right then and there when you meeting?

Speaker 4 (05:54):
You can do, yes, you can exchange cash, you can
do venmo, you can do whatever it's up to you.

Speaker 6 (06:00):
But most of the time you don't give the money until.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
You've received it, so you don't pay ahead of time.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
The products got it, you typically don't.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Pay, okay, So eight thirty pm sounds a little late.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
It's a little late, right, go ahead. So I get
a note that says, hey, we're thinking about going to
the movie, so I might put it on the porch
since it's that time, so it'll be out there. You
can just grab it and then send the venmo. I'm like, okay, all.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Right, filling little suss already go ahead.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Right, But I'm like, okay, well, this is good to go.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
So I'm just gonna like send the venmo.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
This is we were in a nice neighborhood, Like where
we were is a nice part of town.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
I had no reason to think anything was up. So
we go, we pull up, there's no bench on the porch.
I'm like, oh, I guess they didn't go to the movies.
But there's no lights on. So then I go ring
the doorbell.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Nothing and there's no bench on any porch on either side. No,
there's no bank.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Well yeah, I mean from what we could see, it's
just right where we were. It was dark. And so
then my friend's like, well maybe you should like they
just knock louder ring again and sometimes and it was
a ring doorbell camp. So I'm like, they have us
on video, just being like totally confused and ridiculous. And
then finally this guy comes to the door and he's

(07:10):
like uh, hey, you know, can I help y'all?

Speaker 6 (07:12):
And he's in his pajamas.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
I'm like, oh, we're here to pick up the bench
from Facebook Marketplace and he said, what, I don't have
a bench from Facebook Marketplace and.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
So and you've paid no money.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
No, we've we've paid the money, paid the money because
I was like on my way and I was like,
let's just go ahead, hit send, and I should have
not hit send, but I thought.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I was doing.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Okay, So so.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Okay, hold the story, hold the story.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Okay, am.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
He's looking for a bench that she bought on Facebook Marketplace.
She paid for the bench ahead of time, and now
she's back to the house and the guy's like, we
don't have a bench here.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah. So then we were like, okay, we got scammed.
And I'm like, y'all, I this is a total scam.
Now the whole movie thing makes sense, and I just
felt for it. And then he pauses and he yells
back to his wife and he's like, honey, did you
sell a chair on Facebook Marketplace? And then I had
three options for what happened next, and y'all can choose.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
It's like pick your ending.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
The wife ran to the door with the bench and said, yes, yes,
we're selling this here it is.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
We decided not to go to the movie, so I
forgot to.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Put it outside, and I also forgot to tell.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
My husband that's a She came.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
To the door and said, yeah, I have no idea
what y'all are talking about. Someone must have been posing
as me and used my address, Like, well, how do
we handle this?

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Should we call the police? Like this is really weird.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
That's b C is.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Me and my friends.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
We realized that we're at the.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Wrong house, and the people selling the bench for next
door to this house.

Speaker 6 (08:51):
It's just like outdros and moves up.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Okay, okay, okay, I think now.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I haven't I think now because it initially was gonna
be she got scam, But now it's for sure you
went to the wrong house. It's for sure. I bet
how much have all of it? All my money, my
walle you went to the wrong house.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, so you're really putting really real money.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'll put my money in it.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
I'll put my money in se because there was too
many details in the first two Yeah, we all are
picking C.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
You went to the wrong house, is it? C?

Speaker 4 (09:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh, my gosh, wow, good job. Good job, by the way,
getting this in the story. Okay, so it's either you
got scammed or they forgot to put them on the
porch and they forgot to go to the movies.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
There's no way they forgot to put it on the porch.
There's too many details. There's too many communications of you
saying this.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
This.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
This is them saying, oh, we're gonna go to the
movies and then they're already in bed. No, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You gotta go. I'm gonna go with a that where
he's like, honeyed you forget? Like, well, who would forget
all of that? I think it's gotta be a. I
just don't think Amy's gonna get sammed on basically marketplace
and bringing it to the show this quick. You guys
are going scam dam I have faith and you Amy,
So I'm gonna go A.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
What is it, guys?

Speaker 6 (10:03):
I have the bench in my house and it's beautiful.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
It's a The wife came to the door and was like, oh, shoot,
I didn't tell you that I sold this on Facebook marketplace.
She's like, and we didn't end up going to the movies,
so I forgot to put it out and then we
were just getting in bed and yeah, so boom got
the bench.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Good story job.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, why would they not put that on the pl
even if they didn't go to the movie, didn't go
you know, even if they don't go to the movie,
still put it on the porch because it supposed to
be on the porch.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
I know, but I mean, I get it. And several
hours have passed, and I'm the one that made it
eight thirty.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
Because I had to get the truck.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
That's late.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
But here's the thing. Don't sleep on Facebook marketplace, Like
I checked that thing every day and you never know
what's going to pop up. And again this bench, like
I searched them. Well there it is. One day it's
not there, next day it is. And I got a deal,
like I could probably sell it, turn it around right
now and sell it for a little marshall everybody.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
No, not at all.

Speaker 10 (10:55):
For the New.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Bobby's Story of Florida State University, studies found that adolescent
boys who are hurt and just two physical fights suffer
a loss in IQ. Some studies showed that this IQ
loss is roughly equivalent to missing an entire year of school.
Experts recommend settling a dispute with the counselor or an adult.

(11:18):
The physical injury of getting hit, even in two fights,
And it makes sense when you think about it and go,
the brain is receiving trauma if getting punched. But yeah,
even two fights now, if they're like seven, the hits don't.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Really hurt that bad.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
But a little older adolescents like thirteen, Yeah, so thirteen
fourteen when there starts to be strength. What's wild to
me about fights is I have known a couple of
people who have been in a fight where okay, they
get punched, but then they fall and they hit their head.
And one was just a friend of a friend who
died because he hit his head on the ground. And

(11:59):
you're just like, I'm again a fist and punched somebody
and that punch turns into and then it's like you're
being charged with a crime. Much by Herb and Austin. Why,
like it was just a it wasn't even like a
crazy fight. It was like two people been drinking a
little bit, they get a fist fight. But he hit
his head on the curb outside and he died. And
that's why I don't fight. That's why, well I would

(12:20):
get beat up every time too. Other than that, yes,
but I think that's good to hear. The Journal of
Adolescent Health is like two physical fights because you're getting punched.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
Nobody here got punch punched as a kid.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
No, I got a punch on the shoulder, lot I
got come my head and toilet, but never.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
I obviously not hit in the head because you definitely
weren't held back mentally a year in your But.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
What if I was, I'd be like I played football.
But also I don't like to get hit there either.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I don't know him thinking about kids in sports and
getting hit.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Geez, Louise.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
So in football, So you ever see when in practice
or early before the season they wear these things on
top of their helmets, are like extra patting.

Speaker 5 (12:59):
You ever see this Guardian caps? Are you familiar at all?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
No?

Speaker 5 (13:03):
I can show you.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I could tray like Arkansas. So it's the first time.
So there was a player for the Colts, Jonathan Taylor's
running back. He wore the Guardian cap on his helmet
in a preseason game.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
I love it. You can't get enough of it.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
It looks like a cartoon because it's a little bigger,
but it looks like the helmet and with all the
ct I'll show during the break. I hope more players
wear that. I would wear like the michelin Man costume
out there. I just wouldn't be able to run very fast,
but that would be fun. Pickleball has surprising power. I'm
a big pickleball guy from the University of Miami. Pickleball

(13:33):
is exploding a popularity across the country. And one of
the reasons why it fills you with joy it does
it is fun because the floor is pretty high, meaning
you can get okay at it pretty quick.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
I played last week and isn't it for so fun?

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Yeah, but I think I'm going to be the chiropractor.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Yeah, few too many reaches. You really got a stretch
for the ball, So yeah, I got a right, I
have to stretch more.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
A study found that because pickleball can be played by
most people, regardless of skill or athletic ability, it allows
you to be your true self with others. Yeah, you
can get okay pickleball pretty quick. Now when you I've
played like some of the really good people, it's different.
They're amazing. But yeah, pickleball is a lot of fun.
It is a lot of fun.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
I just like to play, though, and I don't really
care about keeping score.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
It's just like you're about to get a fist fight
right here.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
It's just fun to like, you know, a rally or
volley or and.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
You're healthy like that where everything doesn't have to be
a competition.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
I think most people want to keep score, but I
just want to hit the ball back and forth.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
The top ten most well behaved dog breeds ten American Bulldogs,
nine Yorkshire Terriers, Poodle, Boston Terrier, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever.
Jake got Jaco and got a German Shepherds. Oh really,
that's pretty cool. I'm a little jealous. Those a cool
dog now four kne corso a ship to a three
Rottweiler at two in a lab at one. And when

(14:57):
they do worse behaved, I just throw it away. But
you're this was bulldog. He always told we don't worry
about the worst dog event. His English bulldog's right up there.
Here's the thing. I know he can hear me sometimes,
I know because he will mind. We have tricks. English
bulldogs do not mind. But we have tricks, and I
can do things with just my hands. He knows sign

(15:17):
language and At times he will do every sign that
I give him. If you may go one finger down,
he'll come here, two finger down, he will go there.
I can sing the p song. He knows to go
pee and not.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
So we have all these little tricks, right, pee yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee
pee pee pee pee pee pee peep pee pee pee
pee pee. He goes outside. Okay, okay, we I do
bits with the dogs, you know. But there are just
times where he won't even look up, like last night.
Eddie and I went to Baltimore for a baseball card event,

(15:49):
which we can't wait to talk about it, Dear God.
So I came into the house last night because anybody
that drives up he barks like crazy, like he's gonna
save the house. I walked in, the door opened, I
walked in the house. He never looked up. Big noise,
big noise, big noise. I walked by where his food

(16:09):
was to make sure Caitlyn fed him, and she had
and I just touched the door very silently.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
It's just looked up.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
He was up, ready to see what was You didn't
give a crap about somebody breaking in the house, cup
of food, ready to go.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
I think he knew it was you, though.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
No, because the door was big and loud.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Oh it's weird my dog, you know.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
I feel like they know they know it's us, because
my dog will bark anybody that even gets closed to
the door and comes in and when I come home.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
Nothing. They must smell us from far away.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Or maybe they know the sound of your car. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no,
I'm gonna tell you why that's not true. And I'll
leave with this because I parked the hun day outside
the garage and just came through the door. Oh okay,
So anyway, Stanley, if you're listening, buddy, you're not because
you don't listen to anything. An Illinois school worker gets
nine years for one point five million dollar chicken wing heist.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Remember this lunch, she'd remember this.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Yeah, she was eating selling the chicken wings on the
black market.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
She's still eleven thousand chicken wings, sold them on the
black market. It was a high of COVID and now
she gets nine years in prison.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
She was ordering all these wings and then never using
them at the school.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Why would you buy chicken wings off the black market? Well, no, no, no,
the grocery store hold on you're asking two different questions
and answered. You're saying, Amy, why would she buy them?
She's not buying them from the black market. She was
selling them on the black market. Yeah, so she would
order them normally, like through the schools.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'm saying, she had access to all these wings that
she could then sell.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, So Eddie, then, to answer your question, I'm the buyer.
You're the dumb one, Amy to this moment here, thank you. Yes, no, no, no,
I'm the buyer. I know, why not just go to
the grocery. White, cheaper, did you haven't you ever been
in a black market?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
It's cheaper.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
That's funny, Eddie's spicy hot chickens all from.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
The black market now you have.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
But no, that seems a little extreme though nine years.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
She stole a lot of chickens.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Well, it's not the the chicken, it's the one point
five million dollar theft. And so I'm sure she won't
do nine But yeah, I mean, if we go, like
she's going to prison for ten years for chicken wings,
but if.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
You go somebody stole one point five million dollars for
a bank robbery.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like, yeah, I know, it's just
like they're going to be at the same prison, right,
it seems.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
A little crazy.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, she won't do nine years, especially if she does
not have a but she also might have a record.
True then like she might have had had done a
corn dog heist back in the day.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
You know.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Now it's chicken wings. That's the news there, it.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Is Bobby's stories.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
I mean, I like to apologize. Your part was not dumb.
It was just Eddie's was extra my mind while you
were yeah, yeah, you're just extra. Do you're rusty?

Speaker 5 (18:47):
You haven't been here in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Four American Airlines flight attendants were injured last week during turbulence.
It got so bad.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Oh, this is this is torture.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, see this is bad. Turbulence has becoming more of.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
A problem the crew members on the fly. This is
like Tampa to Charlotte. This is like normal, not even
that far. No, not even like India. The floor flight
attendants they were at boom, they hit that. You to
the hospital. Luckily they told everybody to fasten their seat belts.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I hate it, and I know they're like, you're safe, Okay,
then why are they hurt?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
That's a good point.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
Were they still amy?

Speaker 5 (19:28):
They're working trying to be good Americans? You know what
you ask for a.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Couple of water?

Speaker 1 (19:34):
That's right, you had to have your cup of water.
That's from Fox News. I don't like it because sometimes
it hits and people aren't even ready. I keep the
seat belt on all the time. Do you have to
go to the bathroom? That's when I worry about it,
Like if you're sitting on the toilet and turnout sits
and your head hits the top.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
Here's another one, and again, this is America.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
There are some phrases nobody ever wants to hear while
they're on a plane. One of them is that the
pilot is not qualified to land the plane. What oh yeah,
this is weird.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Wait wait wait wait wait.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
During in August eighth Alaska Airlines flight to passenger reported
an announcement coming through the plane speaker system in which
the pilot apologized because the flight had to be diverted
to Salt Lake City because the pilot did not have
proper qualification to land in Jackson Hole.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
So so how did he get on the plane.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
Well, we haven't qualifications to land elsewhere, but they know
where they're going.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
You gotta say, hey, dude, I think because they had
to divert it. Yes, in the place they were diverting
it to, he didn't have qualifications to land, which could
have meant the runway wasn't I don't know, right, I
hate flying.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
But I'm saying he was planting.

Speaker 8 (20:40):
The flight was supposed to go to Jackson Hole, and
he was the main pilot flying them to Jackson Hole.
And then when they're on their way, they realized, oh wait,
this pilot can't land there, so they got to go
somewhere else. How do you assign him to that flight?

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
They should rebund everybody's money.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
It seems like that would be the case.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
But it just can't be, Like logically, something had to
happen where they were having to land.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
Like I really thought when I saw that story that
they were supposed to land somewhere else, and then it's like, oh,
we're gonna have to divert here, but like, oh whoop, sorry,
can't do that because not qualified to land, but also
then to different.

Speaker 8 (21:11):
You know, it sounds like me they were going on
vacation to Jackson Hole and they had to be divergent.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
The guy's like I'm not qualified to actually get up here.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yeah, like, how did they get this same?

Speaker 4 (21:20):
I was wondering how I got on the schedule.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
I just booked a ticket to fly here. I am
up in the cockpit regardless. Shouldn't the pilot know how
to land anywhere? No?

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Yes, it's not about knowing.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
It's not about what you know, because you can know
how to drive a car, but if you don't have
a license.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
It's like what you're qualified to.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Get once on the ground safely and you tall. The
passengers were forced to wait on the tarmac for ninety
minutes while I knew pilot came to finish the journey.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Nope, finish the journey.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
So part of the Jackson Hole thing was there were
severe weather issues and possibly the training requirements for landing
at that place because.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Of the weather.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
What you need to know how to land in every
kind of weather if you're flying people around exactly, Yeah,
and you should be it's so bad. Yeah, that's see,
this is why we shouldn't fly. We should go back
to trains. Off the trains all the time. Am me
some of this article the length of your food orders,

(22:15):
because this is somebody who said this.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
It keeps you poor.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Oh yeah, it's like it popped up in my feet
on Instagram and it caught my attention because sometimes I,
you know, stare at the menu bord and I'm like,
wait a.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Second, So what are they saying before we play the club?
That if it takes you a long time to order.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
That like when it comes to work or your career,
like if you can't make decisions quickly, or you don't
have self awareness because people are waiting behind you, stuff
like that, then you're not going to be successful.

Speaker 7 (22:41):
The lady in front of you takes four centuries to
order a coffee and a muffin. What I realized very
quickly is, you know, if you want to get something done,
you give it to a busy person. That's why they
say you should take somebody to dinner before you hire them,
or see how quickly they make decisions, because people who
take forever to order when they stand in line one
are really comfortable inconvenience in somebody else, which means they
have limited self awareness, maybe borderline narcissism. And then simultaneously

(23:04):
they're not very efficient at the things that don't really matter.
And so if we know we are here for a
finite amount of time. Why spend so much time on that?

Speaker 1 (23:11):
So I can give this a B plus, I can't
give it a full A because I go to people,
I take people to dinner or we go to dinner,
and they take a long time and they're actually quite successful.
But I will say that indecisiveness is really the enemy
of accomplishment and success.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
I think successful people in.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
General will choose and be okay with it being wrong
rather than not choose at all, because if you don't
choose it all, you're in the exact same place. If
you make a decision and it goes wrong, at least
you have learned something from it, and you can start
over with the knowledge that you did not have when
you did nothing. So I think there's something to that.

(23:50):
But to go may wait, wait, took Chick fil A
and they took forty one minutes, Well, that person's not
successful in life, but like six minutes, Yeah, that's a
little over the time.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
I feel like the narcisism part was a little stretch,
like if they have add or they just really are
indecisive that day, there's hormones happening.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
I would say though, that if you are always the
person who is late. Oh, I can't start getting more
on this person's side. I feel it though, in me
that if you're always the person who has this problem,
you can look ahead. I look ahead at almost every
menu that I if I'm going to a restaurant, same
because I don't want to hold anybody up and I
want to eat. Also when I go. You guys have
been to dinner with me. There are two things I
like to do when we sit down. Would you like drinks?

(24:29):
Yes we would, And we're gonna go into order too.

Speaker 4 (24:31):
Please and chile at it.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Yeah, in the check. And it's not because I don't want.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
It's not because I don't like you guys, but I
like to When I get there, I want to eat.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
It's a little too efficient.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
And then when it's over, I don't I like my
last chew to be swallow out the door. So yeah,
it's a little weird and you're successful. Well, you've gone
to dinner with our CEO. How does see you order
like faster? You take a long time?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Good point.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
I will say that folks that are busy often have
things to do pre and post whatever they're doing now.
So if we're going to like a work lunch or
a work dinner.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
Dinner's a little.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Different because on the backside there's a little more free time.
It's we're in at this point, we're out at that point.
I treat it the same way. It is a borderline
unhealthy at times, but I can see the narcisism thing
where you're like if if you're in line, it's like
I don't know, or if you're in your car just
looking over the menu forever, there is a you do
get some grace period look over, especially if you haven't been.

(25:32):
But again, if you're going to check FLA you've been
one hundred thousand times, or you're going to Sonic and
you know what you're gonna get and you end up
getting the same thing every single time, there's no need
to continue to look at the menu.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Well, if you are having one of those days we're indecisive,
you can be self aware and say, hey, why don't
you go ahead and go ahead of me and let
the person cut.

Speaker 6 (25:47):
That way, you can take the time you're holding people up.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
I don't think you taking a little longer at the
drive through keeps your poor I think generally, if you're
an indecisive person, that probably holds you back in areas.
I think that is probably the best way to describe it,
because and I wrote a whole book called fail until
you don't, which is just get in, because as long

(26:09):
as you get in, it's better to make the wrong
decision then make no decision at all, because at least
you've learned something. And also, don't spend a whole much
time at Chick fil although they do sometimes like what
do you want?

Speaker 5 (26:21):
I don't know, there's not a menu.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
When they do that, sometimes they come up with the
thing and it's like I already know what I want,
but I mean, I eave me fifteen seconds.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
I'll get at a menu. But they come up with
the pad and they're like, all right, sorry, what would
you like here? And I'm like I would I literally
just pulled it into the parking lot.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
That's a little tough, yeah, Chick fil A definitely, Like
I wonder how that meeting Went's like, we don't even
need menus anymore. Like, let's just go ahead and get
rid of that. People know what they.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Want and let's do two lanes.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Because they did the double lane.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
Now it's efficient. It takes forever.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
You can't hardly get in any Chick fil at lunch
now because especially if it's a bad spot where it's
like pulling in out of traffic because you're holding all
the traffic up and there's two lanes. But they managed
that think pretty good where it ends up weaving in
at the end and they know exactly who you are.
It's pretty cool, but they have a point. But they're
a little crazy, and I'm okay with it. Thank you

(27:08):
by this invite to go to this like secret baseball
card club baseball card society thing.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
Last night, Eddie and I flew to Baltimore after the show.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
And I was very excited. I'll get excited about much.
And as I'm going up to it, there's an email
that's like, you have to dress. We knew you had
to dress nice because it's like a formal dinner and
we knew there could be and Lunchbox had guess cal
Ripken and I was like yeah, and I was like,
I don't know. I don't think it's gonna be cal Ripken.
I think it'll be bigger. So I'd like to acknowledge
something about that a second. And so we go and

(27:37):
I get the email and it's like you have to wear.
It's called smart business casual. No tennis shoes. Well, Eddie
and I have button ups on, but we have tennis
shoes on, and so we're debating on my Instagram. There's
a Marshalls eight minutes away where like, wh we need
to buy dress shoes? When did walk on the Marshals
and my shoes and we're like, screw it, We're just
gonna go on our tennis shoes and if they kick
us out, they kick us out.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I was so excited.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
I was very excited. I didn't know what was gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Maybe cal rip cal Ripken. I thought I'm a lower end,
even though he's a great I thought that would be
too down the middle. Calory can play for the Baltimore Orioles.
And we were in Baltimore. The event was at the
Baltimore Oriole Baseball Park, So it makes sense, right, yes,
but I was like, surely to be Babe Ruth or something,
even though he's dead. All right, yeah, baby Bruce, Jackie Robinson,
somebody awesome. And we sawl we saw a helicopter coming in.

(28:20):
Oh yeah, that's when we got pumped because we're like
where they dropping off? Turned out. It was like an
ambulance starff. Somebody hurt. Yeah, so we walked to the
ballpark from the hotel because we landed, we had they
provided us hotel rooms, not for free, because it was
a tough.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
Ticket to get.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Well, that's going to say like you got invited or
you got you got the opportunity to buy a ticket.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
A bit of both.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
I got invited and I found a ticket for Eddie
because I did not want to go buy myself.

Speaker 5 (28:52):
Yeah, and there wasn't a plus one, right, so you
had no plus ones. We get there.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
And I posted pictures of people that were around us.
I'm a nerd for a lot of things. I love
sports cards, baseball cards, and so we get there. I
still pretty strong about us being the coolest guys there.
I never feel that way.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah. So yesterday I was concerned that, you know, you
were going into some like you know, rich person, weird thing.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Oh no, no, the rich person know, no, no no.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
But I was teaching you, being like it's like the
secret society where they're all like yes. And then I
saw you post the picture and I was like, I'm
not worried. You're not a y'all are safe you're not
gonna be taking advantage.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
Of or tied up.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
You're good good.

Speaker 8 (29:38):
Did you feel like when you walked in you were like,
Oh my goodness, this is like Star Wars meets Comic
Con meets like rec league softball guy meets like people
that just came out of their parents' basement for the
first time.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
This I mean, I am also a nerd, so it's hard.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
Like I saw I saw the videos, I was like,
oh my goodness, you guys are dorn like doors of
doork well.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
It was really cool because we were like talking to
card shop owners, people who break on like TikTok, so
we get there. I was so excited. It is kind
of lame cal Ripken did not show up. Was so
I will say that if you're a diehard fan, you
probably thought it was kind of cool. But it was
two young players but both awesome. Adley Rushman, who's a catcher,

(30:23):
Gunner Henderson, who was a rookie last year is like
number two and MVP race. But the I just thought
it was gonna be somebody like a Jeter or even
to lunchbarks, and I'd like to apologize, like it's gonna
be bigger than cal rip can it wasn't. And those
guys that showed up and so they sat up in
two seats with some guy in a polo, and he

(30:46):
asked him questions and they did a little interview and
then they were like, would you guys like to ask questions?
And so and they they fed us. First of all,
we got in this room and it's like a mingle
and it's all like a aged man and polos.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
How many chicks I didn't say. I said I didn't
see one.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
There were like four, but they all worked there. They
were like working for the place. It really was not,
but that's okay. We didn't care about it.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
What did you guys talk about? Like these cards cards?

Speaker 1 (31:12):
One guy that has a place in Knoxville, like I'm
doing a charity like breaking like a ripping card ripping
thing with vanduilt Children's Hospital. We talked about that, like
I'm trying to turn my hobby into something that also
gives it back. And so it was sweaty. There's no
air condition is brutal for a while, and then in
the hair for like forty five minutes. If there's no
air condition in this room we were in with like

(31:33):
eighty other dudes. So we're like, oh my god, what
do we get ourselves into? So we go into this
big room and we're sitting at a table. We kind
of made friends. I like the guys we were, we
made friends, the cool guys.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Cool. Yes, there screen names, no.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
But I do.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
I do ano there breaking their breaking name though, because
they do break cards. Yeah, you guys would.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Chat what's the venue because like I'm picturing you in.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
The yards, which is the baseball baseball but it's like
a little gathering room where you have dinner. So it
wasn't even baseball le So we're up and so the
two guys are sitting up in two chairs of this
guy interviewing them, and he's like, what was it like
as a minor league? They started going around the room
and so like there were a couple of kids in there,
and they could ask a perfect kid question, Hi, what
was your favorite hit?

Speaker 5 (32:14):
As a little eager, great answer, and they'd go to
some guy.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Who was like, hey, you ever meet Rod Carew. It
was like a player from the seventies, And Eddie's like,
you have to ask a question. I'm like, well, I
don't want to ask a question.

Speaker 8 (32:27):
Why am I can ask him, You're gonna ask me, Hey,
what do you think about nerds getting together?

Speaker 1 (32:30):
And you guys had to sit up here and talk
to us. Well, that would have been a question, because
I did feel like a nerd. I was part of
that group. I did feel like that was I felt
like Eddie was a little out of place because Eddie
is not as nerdy as I am about this. I'm
not a collector, like yeah, yeah, yeah, but Eddie goes
because both of them were in the All Star Game
this year, he goes.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
I asked him if they knew who won the Celebrity
All Star MVP.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
That was like, it's perfect.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
You played against them.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
No, No, they played in the real All Star Game.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
Gay, yeah, I played in the celebrity game.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
They have no idea what that is.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
It was Honestly, I.

Speaker 6 (33:01):
Thought the Celebrity Alcar Game was celebrities playing.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
It was tell your friends that that w MVP.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
No, they played the real wind, which was like Monday,
we played the Saturday Night Celebrity and so I'm like,
but we were so bored, and because they were it's
just questions and the food, it's.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
Fine, and so, but we flew all it was just
as a mess.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah. Look, if it was down the street and we went,
it would have been fun. The expectations were Lou Garrig
was going to be there, that there was gonna be
a c The players are really good young players, guys.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
We flew all the way to ball, flew all the
way to Faimore.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
They could they grow to be like.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
But we don't.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
We're not investing.

Speaker 8 (33:47):
When said legends, it's like it's like get the play.
You know, a cover band walks in all They could
be good one day.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
You know what I mean, come on, you want the Beatles.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
So we go.

Speaker 5 (33:59):
No, but they're ballers. They're both right now. They're awesome
players right now.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
But I wouldn't say they're big names for someone who's
not a massive baseball fan.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
So we go and.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
I'm like, I'm asking a question.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Fine, I'm just.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Gonna ask it because I was like, we'll record it
for the show. At least I can get a bit
for the show. And I was gonna be like, hello,
fellow all star here.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
I'm just wondering if my tape from the Celebrity Game
was able to get to you guys and motivate you
for the real game, like I was gonna be and
nobody was gonna get the joke, but it was just
gonna be. It's gonna fall awkward silence and to us.
So we're gonna have some audio to bring in today
because we're getting bored. They never came to me. I
was the only one they never came to for a question.

Speaker 8 (34:33):
Amy they went to there were two people walking on
the microphone.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
I'll be like hello over.

Speaker 5 (34:38):
Here, and then we just keep dodging me.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
I never gonna ask a question.

Speaker 6 (34:42):
Oh, do you think that they were purposely ignoring you?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
They're like, oh, maybe let's not go to the least here.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
I mean no, I'm pretty nerdy too, so and then
they were like, okay, you guys will take pictures. We'll
call you by tables and you can go take a
picture with you.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Don't get individuals.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
Well, also, I think.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
In there, we don't know.

Speaker 5 (35:03):
We don't know because we left.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
We left because it was gonna be a thirty minute
wait to get a picture, and we were like, we
just want to go home.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
So we just got We just flew back home.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
And weren't they shocked when you told them we were leaving? Oh,
they were like well you're not staying. I'm like, no, no,
we're good. We really appreciate it.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Did you get a party favor?

Speaker 5 (35:20):
They gave us some cards in a bag with some
baseball cards and.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
It was neat. Wait were those cookies on your fight?

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Did you get? I hate to COOKI immediately because I
was starving. They made us wait in a sweaty room forever.
And as soon as I sat down and ate all
the cookies at the table before dinner, yes, I was like,
I just I need to eat a cookie. It's mister
Bobby Bones.

Speaker 8 (35:38):
Like how how was the like socially awkwardness of the
other guys? Like was it like socially awkward?

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Like it?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Because that's how I feel every room I'm in And
I could tell all of us were kind of like
I think healthy. Eddie was the healthiest conversationalist in the
whole place. I am awkward around other people, and I
think I was part of that group.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
I think that it was. I don't know, it just
wasn't good. It wasn't good.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
So Amy yesterday when we made to them and how
nerdy it was going to be, we were We nailed it,
you know, we were one right the nerdiness. I don't
have a problem with because I am a nerd for
certain things. I just thought there'd be air conditioning, cal
Ripken at least.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
At least and like I get to ask a question,
I want anything.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
We flew all. It was a disaster. So anyway, I'm done,
except I'm going to fanatics Fest this weekend in New York. Yeah,
which they were all going to everybody. There's like stop everybody,
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (36:32):
Sod.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
New York. A lot of people were like if they
came from like the eastern part of America, they drove
up through Baltimore and they were like, you guys going
to fanatics Fest in New York, and uh, We're like, yeah,
I'll see you there because we have a stage.

Speaker 5 (36:45):
To be fair, I love it so much. We have
a stage at this place, and we have like what
does that mean?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Forty athletes are coming back to the podcast, very famous people,
and so we have interviews booked with Cam Newton, Gronk,
Rudy Rudy, Rudy the actor, No No, No.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Plexico Burus.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
We have Andre Dawson, Ozzie Smith, Vinnie Testa, Verdi, Ce
Sabbatia like all these people are coming to our stage
to do our show, but it was we'll see there.
We were like inviting them to can hang out with this,
oh yeah, because they weren't. We liked everybody there, but
I was just like, this is so underwhelming. We made friends, Yeah, pretty,
that part was cool. The people. We didn't get kicked

(37:29):
out for our shoes, but there was no ac I
didn't get to ask a question and wasn't there.

Speaker 6 (37:34):
Yeah, so that's all. I'm just glad you made it
back home, and one for me too.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
I just get where you left and where just wanted
to get home. Yeah, I just wanted to get home.
So that was our Baseball Card night experience.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
So how long did you spend with these people?

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Four hours?

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Yeah, it was a long it's a good time you
say that long.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Well, so first of all, we wait to wait outside
in the heat for like thirty minutes as they just
then and gave us our bracelet and the hand us
people ever said beef on it. That's all we're eating beef.
They don't want to mix this up. They want to
mix this up. Yeah, there was crofit, there was a crab, crab,
there was beef. So they were like Okay, which one
are you beef? I'm beef. We had to carry a

(38:12):
sign that's a beef. I had to walk around with
bees at beef for like an hour.

Speaker 7 (38:17):
Man.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Thanks, And last night we were home and and.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
Edie was like, thanks for inviting me, but a little
bit I knew he was like, why did you invite me?
It was like a mix of both, right, but also
like you look back and laugh, yes, William and we're
laughing there.

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Yeah, And we'll see a fanatic spect this week. So
that's what's up.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
We had.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
We had a time. We had a time we went
to Balm. I really thought that they were going to
bring out somebody big and they were going to be
big in the future. But for that I thought they
were going to have somebody like I don't know that
we said Jeter a Rod Maybe.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
There was and there like do they have to pay
those people to come by?

Speaker 5 (39:02):
I'm sure tops or fanatics did a little something for them.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Yeah. Anyway, So that's our experience, and I still love
every people were great. It was just a couple of
those elements. So that was our experience. Thank you all
for listening. So this is one of those does it
sound like it would taste good. Amy has told me
about a cheddar cheese on apple pie concoction. Is it
a full pie?

Speaker 8 (39:26):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Picture an apple pie warm with a slice of melted,
sharp white cheddar cheese.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Where did you see this?

Speaker 6 (39:34):
Not had it?

Speaker 5 (39:35):
It was like a crazy TikTok thing.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
No got it?

Speaker 4 (39:39):
No, guys, I'll eat an apple like out of the fridge, like,
I'll slice it up and put a little cheddar cheese
with it. I feel like that pretty.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yes, I get Starbucks that gets a little thing with
apples and cheese and boiled eggs. That makes sense, right, But.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
I don't know melted cheese on top of an apple pie.
Never had that concoction, but it's it's the same. It's
like this perfect little combo together, at least for me. Like,
I thought it was so good, so definitely try it out.
But some people might think it's weird.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
How'd you stumble into eating that?

Speaker 7 (40:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (40:09):
You know?

Speaker 6 (40:10):
It was invited to a dinner. That's how they served it.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
Dang fancy dinner.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
I wouldn't call it fancy at all.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
They made it apple pie and milk, like oh God,
like how their family has always done it.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
And I was like, no, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I don't think I like the sound of it initially,
but when you explain the apples and cheese already, then
I bet it.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
It's good.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Yeah. Another thing is, wait, are you hurt? Do you
have do you have fle fractures? Do you have complex
fractures in your body? Is it you talking about it? Oh?

Speaker 4 (40:39):
No, that's math.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Oh I totally thought Amy had fractures in her body.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Actions.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
You read that well, she wrote fractures. No.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
No, So I thought words are hard to math is hard.
Words are hard, Complex fractions are hard.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Actions. I thought you had like complex fractures, and I
didn't know for me to bring it on the show.

Speaker 5 (41:00):
Okay, so you're healthy, you're off, You're fine.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, my body's fine, but my brain is not. When
it comes to complex fractions.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
Is this one of those new math things.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
It's seventh grade math, to be exact, And I'm not
here for it at all, Like it's it's and I
don't understand it. And I as a mom, I know
teachers don't want us to say to our kids like
you're never going to use this, you know, Uh, so
you're not You're not true, But I'm not saying that
so I'm being clear, it's just in my head and
I am trying to help my son figure it out,

(41:31):
and I am googling and I'm going to like, I'm
literally typing in the entire problem into Google, like the
exact like Sally was driving ten miles an hour with
one in three fourth stink of gas or whatever.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
It's good and then and then and then the problems
show up like people other people have typed it in.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
I'm like, oh, like, can you not do what you
used to do?

Speaker 5 (41:51):
Or you find a common denominator and then build back
or is this something.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
That is what you have to do.

Speaker 6 (41:56):
But it's like this process. Yes, I just have to
check my work.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
So is this not new math? This is just old math.
They also used to be bad.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
As they do it. I have math has not ever
been strong same for me at all. I believe when
we had the woman come in and Miss Kelly helped
us with our dyslexia, like she also said I have
dyscalcula which numbers are very difficult, and so I just
want to you have to show your work and check
your work. And I'm stressing out because my son wants

(42:23):
to get it right, And I'm also trying to teach
him and it's only the second week of school, and
I'm like, like, I need a tutor.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I think where I was confused to us we had
recently talked about new math in the ways that kids
are learning now that's different than how we used to learn.
And I thought that compound fractures, which is now fractions,
was a new way they were teaching fractions. But I
guess you did not do well with fractions to begin with, right,
But now I.

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Know, Yeah, you multiplied the ones on the bottom and
then find the one on the top and then bring
it up.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
And then I could have worked with you on that.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Hey, is that your son?

Speaker 4 (42:56):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Question about do you want to tutor him? No question
about your son? Can I just give him that PlayStation
five as a birthday present? Now?

Speaker 4 (43:05):
Stop?

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Wait? Did he not get that New York?

Speaker 4 (43:08):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah, I give it to him.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
I knew you were going to be irresponsible with this
is not how is how are we learning anything from this?

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Okay, that's fine, that's not I'll still put him to work,
but I haven't been as available at home to give
him work to do. And he just had a fourteenth birthday,
and I was like, okay, fine, well, I mean, let's statements. Sorry,
I try to give to you for freebody.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
If that's what you want to do. No, No, that's okay. No,
you just said I was a responsible birthday present.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
No, what do you want me to do?

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Because I'm happy just to go happy birthday. If you
still want me to.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Put him to work, I will.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Okay, I can make a deal with you right now.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
I'm just gonna say, happy birthday, but you need to
work off some things for your mom.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
I don't want to be involved in that birthday. Yeah,
I don't want to be involved in what I don't know,
and my mom's gonna hold that against them forever, for
like eleven things, and he's gonn to hold me accountable.
If you like, give me here's the I'm happy to
negotiate with you. If you give me like one thing
you need him to do, or like two things you
need him to do with a time limit on it,
I can say, hey, but I don't feel like it's

(44:17):
fair to him to go, hey, listen to your mom
for three more years and then more even.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
Okay, it doesn't have to be that extreme, but okay,
all right, I'll think.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
About it, and I can still put him to work.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
I'm just not have him been home enough, and I
want him to take a machete to the backyard and
create a trail. But he's fourteen now, and for the
when you're fourteen, you should get your first machete.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
Okay, but that seems like more of a life skill
that he needs learning how to use a machete versus
compound or complex or whatever these fractions are.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
He needs a quit school, then machetechet.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
We do like, why where does this come in handy?

Speaker 1 (44:53):
I don't know that the actual process of fractions comes
in handy. But havn't two problems to develop problem solving?
I can you that because I'm.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
A real life problem like mortgage, health insurance.

Speaker 6 (45:07):
You know I felt that stuff like real things like
I just.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
You just what you could gift him a tutor for
his birthday? A math tutor, that's what you could get him.

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Can you have a mass like socks? Socks a Christmas
underwear like you need him? But it's like, what the
crap you? This isn't a gift. Or I could gift
him a PS five and make him work for a
tutor m.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
We had to FaceTime another mom.

Speaker 5 (45:36):
Embarrassing that.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
I bet you. I bet either. The mom has many
other ways that she has to do the same thing
for other people with other people. I don't think there
should be any shame in that. Thanks slight embarrassment, but
no shame, because I'm sure that mom has to use
resources in a similar way for different things.

Speaker 4 (45:55):
Yeah, we all do.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
There's a new Bobby Cast, and this one's interesting and different.
We did a roundtable episode with Drew Baldridge, who has
She's Somebody's daughter songs probably about to be a number
one Eddie myself, and Chris Owen, who's working radio but
now it works for a publishing company, who's like a
savant when it comes to like music and charts, like
it's all in his head like rain Man. So this

(46:16):
is Chris Owen talking about just randomly the Rascal Flat
song Life is a Highway and how that was never
actually a single.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Here you go.

Speaker 10 (46:23):
The Cards movie came out and their versin's really good
and stations just started playing it. Lyrics Street their label
put My Wit out the radio after Me and My
Game as the official single, and radio is like we
don't care if we're still going to play this one,
we will also play that one, but we're still going
to play Live as a highway. You ask any average fan,
they think.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Live is a highway.

Speaker 10 (46:39):
Oh, their biggest hit, and it is their biggest hit,
but it never even got top ten.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
So it wasn't a top ten song, was never put
out of the radio single. And he's like, you'll never
believe this, nineteen eighty four pity, but did it. We're
just like in awe. He's so smart. Baldridge talks about
stations being hesitant to play his song She's Somebody's Daughter
because it's a ballad. Now it's the top three song,
and he's the one that had to create his own
record label just to get anybody to pay attention.

Speaker 11 (46:59):
To it, because this was always a big thing for us,
which She's Somebody's Daughter, Like, well, it's a ballad, and
we don't play ballads. I had some people tell me
straight up, we don't play ballads on our station. And
then I was sitting with a radio guy one time
and he said, hey, man, I got the fifty best
songs of all time written down on my phone. I
was like it really, He's like, yeah, check him out
and he pull up the songs, jumped to me.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
I started reading him down.

Speaker 11 (47:17):
I was like, dude, you know what's crazy? He said, well,
I said all those are ballads. He was like, oh
my gosh, you're right. And I was like, without ballads,
what is country music?

Speaker 2 (47:26):
Amen?

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Brother? So we just kind of had a roundtable talking
about music, but this was not music at all. And
aside from music, Eddie was blown away at a fact
about Buffalo wings.

Speaker 9 (47:35):
You're telling me wings are from Buffalo, Like, that's why
they're called Buffalo wings.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Yeah, they're the Buffalo's. I mean there's a there's a
like og spot there. Yeah. Mind blown.

Speaker 10 (47:46):
I did not know that the actual sauce and everything. Wow,
you know Butters and Frank's red.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Hot Buffalo wings are from Buffalo, New York. Did you
guys know that? Yes, no, Buffalo never thought about it.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
So like chicken wings called but if you use a
Buffalo sauce, it's the sauce.

Speaker 6 (48:04):
It's from Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Yeah, Buffalo sauce. I search for that. Bobby cast a
lot of music talking there, but also that Buffalo in
search for that. Wherever you listen to your podcast are
on I Radio, Bobby Bone Show.

Speaker 12 (48:18):
Today.

Speaker 8 (48:19):
This story comes us from Savannah, Georgia. A thirty four
year old man was working at McDonald's training to be
a manager. When man the McDonald's was way too crowded,
too busy. I gotta get some of these people to leave.
So he got some cardboard, went outside of the dumpster,
lit the cardboard on fire, threw it in the dumpster,
and boom.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
I saw the story. I didn't know that's why they
did that, Yeah, to get people to leave because it
was too busy.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
Yeah, I was just too busy with people, and he
was like, man, I need some people out of here.
So he lit the fire. And now he's going to
be in prison for five years.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
Wait, I feel like that's a bit drastic.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
I think that's a little too much time.

Speaker 5 (48:57):
Unless he has like eighty four offenses ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Yeah, I doesn't say that.

Speaker 8 (49:01):
But he has to pay money back for all the
damage he caused and he has to serve five years.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
Improved that.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
It's a weird decision and five surely he won't serve
five years.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Like the judge's gotta be like, we're going to give
you like ninety days and you scrub all the toilets
a McDonald's all through the county.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Yeah, but he was in manager training. So he went
from almost manager to prison.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Like the reverse, right, like a good story. He's in
prison and now he's a manager. It's the opposite.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
All right, thank you, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story
of the day.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Morgan thinks the Lunchbox gave her a rash. Now, normally
I would go, okay, this is somebody looking for a
bit here we go. Morgan is really not a bit hunter,
meaning there's some people on the show that will look
for anything as content just to get on the air.
Morgan is not a bit hunter. Not And also Lunchbox
is known for bringing an illness after illness into the studio. Huh,

(49:51):
so Morgan, what's up?

Speaker 12 (49:52):
Well, so he came in and he was like, I
have all these rashes all over me. And then shortly
after and he was like I also have one. And
I was like, oh gosh, do I have turns out
I do one on my face And I've never had
a rash like this ever in my life. I've I've
been totally fine. And I even reached out to a
doctor and they're like, it comes from like touching other
people or whatever.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
I'm like, are you for real? Have you touched him.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
Handle?

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Uh? Door handles?

Speaker 12 (50:17):
Yeah, it's like on the bacteria. And they're like, that's
typically how this breads.

Speaker 4 (50:20):
It's just it. It can be easily fixed.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
But it came from touching a specific bacteria.

Speaker 12 (50:26):
And I was like, the only other person I've been
around that's how to rash is Lunchbox.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
He always has something a cough, a rash, a disease,
pink eye. Those kids are sick too, a lot for sure,
and it's like he takes it and brings it right
in special delivery. Tuberculous faultculosis happened where he gave it
to the Yeah, any anything you'd like to say.

Speaker 8 (50:48):
I'd like to say that it's been like a month
since I had a rash. So Morgan's rolling around in
the bed with some guy I don't.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
What's his name.

Speaker 4 (50:55):
Did you ever go to the doctor for your rash?

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yeah, you went to the doctor.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
We had a doctor call in's.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Let's catch a men lie here, let's catch a manly.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
That's where I got confused. Maybe I just heard the
doctor call in.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
I was like, oh see, I'm good that counts as
going to the doctor, and that doctor.

Speaker 4 (51:10):
Told you to go to the doctor because you likely
had shingles.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
You always have something.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I mean with kids, they bring a lot of germs,
they are germ factories. That's part of the life.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
But I would say the fact that you don't really
shower regularly, that's for sure, and your hygiene is not
what I would say average, probably a little below average.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
I think that anything that has developed that is contagious
stays on you, and you bring it in more than
what a.

Speaker 8 (51:36):
Normal parent would have. Maybe what I do is very
agreeable about it all. I mean, yeah, I also look
at it as building up your immunity. If you keep
washing everything off, your immune system has to be so weak.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
But the rest of the show members, because you and
Eddie and Morgan sit at one table altogether, they don't
really deserve that because you've decided you're going to use
that as an excuse for not showering.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
Yeah, that's true, that's true.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Another one agrees, But I'm just saying I had a
lot of great points here.

Speaker 8 (52:05):
But I mean me giving Morgan a rash on her face,
I mean, she was never rubbing up on my body.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
My rash has been gone.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
It could have been a door handle touch and then
a face touch, and it could have taken a week.
It doesn't matter. Morgan, I'm sorry. Did you go to
the doctor.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
Yeah, and thankfully it's going away.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
But you know, I've never had a rash in my life,
and lunchbox comes in my life.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
And here we are.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
I was wondering, what's wronging your face?

Speaker 1 (52:23):
I'm not opposed to bubbling him in the new studio. Yes,
what building a bubble around him? I mean like always
were when he's sick. No, always, oh good, Like we
just build a bubble around him, bubble boy, because this
has been something for months and months. He comes in.
You know sometimes you'll see like a live band and
there's like a plastic thing around the drummer. Yeah, it's

(52:44):
basically that we bubble them.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Right, the drums.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
It's for sound, the.

Speaker 1 (52:47):
Right and yeah, this would be for illness. Yeah yeah, Morgan, Sorry,
it's okay, goodbye everybody. The Bobby Bone Show Bobbin Boones
