Speaker 1 (00:00):
The transmitting.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What's up, Welcome to Wednesday show? More than studio money.
All right, let's check in with their buddy, Let's go
around the room. I didn't know if I wanted to
cry or laugh when he signed my ball with Larry
Bird's autograund It's head a man, Dude.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I waited a long long time to watch this movie.
And now that I've seen it, I'm like, what a
terrible movie.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
The Bling Ring, Like we've talked about people that robbed
the celebrities houses.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, We've talked about it, and I'm like, oh, it
came out what like in the early two thousands, and
I'm like, I'm gonna watch this. Oh yeah, twenty thirteen.
And I finally watched it the other night.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Dude, it is terrible the movie or what they did
wasn't that interesting?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
No, No, what they did is amazing. That's why I
always wanted to watch it. I Mean, they broke into
so many celebrities houses in Hollywood. It did all kinds
of stuff. Paris Hilton's houses, every house door unlocked, every
house down. They just they would just go around and
check all the doors. They would just go and ooh,
this sliding doors open, what's going in? No way? And
(01:08):
sometimes they wouldn't even steal. They would just hang out
in the house and act like they were the celebrity.
I mean, the story is unbelievable, but the movie was
just them doing it over and over and over. There
was no cops at all. There was no like that
scene where the investigators are like, hey, what do we
have here? Like do we know who it is? Nothing
like that. It was just them going to every house
doing what they do. Terrible movie, terrible movie, crazy story. Dude,
(01:33):
it's crazy. And I think there's a new documentary as
long as.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I say, did you watch a movie or was it
a documentary?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
This is the original movie that they.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
With Emma Tom's Yeah, I don't know, dude, Emma Watson's
I won't be watching it.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Don't watch It's a waste of time. Next up, the
sale of the palette items will most likely never be complete,
but we were impressed that he put some of them
in a spreadsheet.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
When you go to a concert, it's your decision, stand up,
sit down, whatever you want to do. The artist should
not be up on stage scolding you, and Madonna found
out the hard way. She is in the middle of
her concert and some woman is sitting down and Madonna
starts going, why are you sitting down there?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Why are you doing down?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Sorry about that?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
She was in a wheelchair. This is terrible, Madonna.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
She said, sorry about that. Politically incorrect.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh my goodness, that is so like she has a
choice to sit down anyway, like she doesn't have to
stand up. And then the point at her and then
everybody's going wheelchair wheelchairs.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
She's like politically and coress crench for sure. I saw
the headline and the video started playing. I could watch
the video. It's terrible. Didn't make Then she just goes
back to her conser, Yeah, what do you do? All right?
Next up, doctor Lauria praised their Madame Alexander dolls and
find out they're worth some money. But some of them
were missing limbs, which made it pretty funny. It's Amy.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
So I was in a meeting the other day and
I had a headache and it was kind of like
one of the headaches it's like all the way around
your head, and I guess it's called a tension headache
because one of the girls there was like, oh, yeah,
I get tension headache sometimes. And I didn't have any
pain reliever. So she said, put a pencil between like
a hoof like that. Yeah, and that just like kind
of keep it there gently. You don't like bite down
(03:29):
super hard, but that it should eventually like give some relief.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Is it because you're giving light tension to the tension
out understand? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
So I googled it later because I was like, wait,
what is behind this? And according to doctors, gripping a
pencil between your teeth can potentially relieve the tension in
the head. You just have to simply put it there,
not bite down, and it'll relax the jaw so it'll
stop sending thousands of stress and tension to the head.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
If you use your finger so that a hurt. Well
that wouldn't fight all the way down, but it would
look weird in a meeting.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Yeah, but yeah, you can kind of kind of have
a pencil you mounting a meeting. But I just thought, well,
I don't know if it works because it was really
relaxing me or placebo effect. Because I thought it was
gonna work, it started to work either way.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
All take it, put a pencil, what about pen it
doesn't matter whatever you have, make sure all right, Raymond
go ahead from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a great tipper
all the time, so usually the waiters get in line.
Bobby Bones, thank you. Hey. Question when when is too
old honestly to wear Jordan's?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Never?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Never? Okay, if that's the answer, that's fine. I did
a speaking engagement last week and have on one of
my favorite pair of Jordan's. They're ones, and someone's like, hey, dude,
you're too old to or Jordan's. Who said that? Somebody
on Instagram? So I just really was wondering, like, at
what age is too old to wear Jordan's? Maybe there
isn't one, because I feel like those are casual dress shoes,
(04:54):
they're clean. I don't wear them off in but they
are tennis shoes, but I would never play ball on
them cause they're not really made for that. Too old
for Jordan's at what age? I feel like you'd be
seventy and wear them.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes, there are no restrictions to what you wear, like well, sometimes,
I mean there are certain things people wear. You're like, okay,
bathing suits, got it well, But I mean, let's say,
I don't know what's something that kids would wear now
that a hoodie or a jersey I think you wear
whatever too.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But I'm saying generally, when the public was start to
judge you, dude, you do you man? You look good
in yours, I'm going to anyway. I'm just saying I
didn't think a great question. I didn't think there was
a on those shoes specifically, I didn't think there was
a max age. I thought they're kind of universal.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
And what are you're about to be forty four?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Yeah, dj College. Isn't he the one that has to
get carried because of his Jordan's? Yeah, but he's also
he's forty eight saying he's still rocking on them?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Are here? Okay, well I feel good the Morgan, what
do you think you're the youngest.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
No, I don't think you're ever too old for Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Those are like a classic shoe to me. They're tennis shoes.
See I feel that way too. They're a classic shoe. Yeah,
I guess if I were wearing uh oh, like something newer,
not even or tennis shoe. But there are certain dress
shoes that are you need to kind of be in
your twenties to wear like what really loud like Prada
type shoe. You're just like n you'm too old for that?
Oh really, I think so, because there are definitely clothes
(06:13):
that older people shouldn't wear that young people do wear.
What about like tall black boots, like for women? You
think they can wear them? As long as we got
the body to go with it, we're good. So it's
only body specific. Yeah, do you have the body for
Jordan's idea? Okay, let's open up the mailbag.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Mail and we read it all the air to get
something we call body's mail bag.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I used to smoke,
and more than a few years ago we switched to
vaping and then eventually quit together. Recently he started vaping again.
It's driving me nuts. He's constantly puffing on his vape
like it's attached to his hand. There's a permanent cloud
of vapor in our living room. It's getting him last nerve.
Trying to be understanding, because I do understand a bit,
(07:01):
but I don't want to be that nagging wife. But
I also didn't sign up for living in a twenty
four to seven vape shop. How do I bring this
up without causing a huge fight? Should I just ask
him to take it outside or address the whole bad
habit signed wife of a vapor.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Yeah, that's tough. I'm gonna go to lunchbox first. On
this one, lunchbox your thoughts a man? Wait listen, let
him let the vape vape? Like, just you're you're married,
so vape it out. Okay, you know what I mean? Like,
you're not gonna divorce him over it yet?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right? Is that divorce worthy? Probably not just that, but
I guess if it is kind of the gang the
gateway into just being like, as screw it. I'm gonna
do what I want. But you're right, you're not gonna
divorce from it, right, Okay, let the vape vape, he
says Eddie.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I think eventually he'll get to the point where, like
he's gonna quit vaping. You just have to let him
get there. Oh so exhaust him of vaping. Well no,
I mean she she was a vapor so she understands.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Was he exactly right?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I know, But I'm telling you once he kind of
feels isolated. It's like those smokers that like, I start
smoking to hang out with people in the balcony and
now no one smokes, so I'm out here by myself.
I think eventually he'll get to the point where like,
I should probably stop vaping. It could be six months,
it could be a year, can be four years, but
eventually he will stop.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But part of her issue is the house smells it
looks like vape all the time. Yeah, she was a
part of that too. So what was was it was
and they agreed together. Okay, I here are you. That
is your opinion my opinion.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I think you can absolutely set boundaries around this, like
this is something that you know, if someone wants to
I don't know what's one of like another habit, like they're.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Maybe all able.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Okay, dip even that's still gonna be annoying, but you
don't smell that. I mean, I guess if you have
to kiss him and stuff, or you find dip cups
around the house. These are things that are can be
gross and disruptive. But if someone's like, you're addicted to
the well.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You know you're not. You're not.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
You're not addicted to the game thing that you do
on TikTok not addicted.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You're not yet not addicted.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Okay, well, so there's some things people do.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
It doesn't disrust did asrupt the house, but your game
doesn't make the.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
House smell, and it's not you know whatever.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
This is something where she absolutely has every right to
set a boundary, and I think in a calm way,
she could also share with him some of the side effects.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh, don't do that, like all the pictures.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And when I caught, whenever I caught, I didn't even catch.
I did not know that my husband dipped at all.
When we were first married. He was a pilot in
the Air Force and I was cleaning his flight suit
and I found a can of dip and I thought, well, well,
who's is this?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Somebody left the dim husband's hands.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
In his flight suit, And come to find out a
lot of pilots and the Air Force were dipping because
they did it to stay awake. But you do it
all the time. And so I printed out pictures of
people missing half their face because they got like jaw
cancer or something.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
And it didn't help.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But you know why, I don't think it helped. Honestly,
it didn't.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I'm not recommending you do.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
No, that's not bad for like a kid.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Maybe he was twenty six, twenty seven years old.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But I would think that he, as an adult, fully brain,
fully formed brain, would go I know that that's a
really severe example of the worst case, and odds are
if I dip forever, it's not still not going to
be that because what you're doing, you're in the worst case. Yes, yeah,
but I like it. That's a good approach. I think
with a kid, that's a good approach.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Here was also the big mistake is he was like
Special Forces Air Force. I think that in their mind,
they're like, do you know what we do on a
regular basis, and you're gonna like show me half of
the y because I'll worry about like I'm well, or
just like this is not the scariest thing I do,
Like I do far more difficult things.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And I'm like, okay, fine, use the dip to stay awake.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
She starts dipping with him. Okay, So here's what I
would say. I don't think you're going to convince him
to not vape, right, because he's just going to hide
it from you. Otherwise, what I would say, and that
I wouldn't even say rule, but boundary that I would
negotiate is I'm not gonna vape. We quit. I would
love if you didn't vape, but I'm not going to
tell you not to because I know, for some reason
(11:07):
stress whatever, you're vaping, but you have to do it
outside because it makes our house smell bad and I'm
embarrass when people come over like for that reason. And
I think that's probably where you can go and that
he will go and be annoyed at first. I'll pay
for the house too, but I don't think that's too
much to ask, because it's not just about him. It's
not just about you. It's about what your house looks like. Also,
(11:31):
I would still ask him at times, could you vape
a little less? Don't nag, But I think if you
could express that in a way that doesn't make him defensive,
I think that would work. You may never get him
quit vaping, but at least the one positive step is outside,
and then maybe he gets so I know what, having
to go outside, especially in the winter, that he's like,
I screwed up not vaping for a while, then he's one.
But I think that's probably your best step.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You could come up with other fun activities to do
together to take his mind off vaping activity.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The activity, Yeah, doing it, it's about it, bedroom, Yeah,
it's about it. I was like, Hey, I'm going a
vape oh orr you do this. Yes, all right, that's
the nail back. Thank you very much. Closing up, We
got your email and we read on you air.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now let's find the clothing.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Bobby maail dig Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Eddie, what's up. Yeah, we got an email at work.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Somebody in the building said that there's been a car
in the garage parked for over a week and it
needs to be moved. And they described the car and
it was a Nissan. So I'm like, oh my gosh,
Lunchbox a Nisson car. A Nissan car, the ultimate broke
down and now Lunchbox has abandoned his car in the
parking garage.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Your car doing okay, Lunchy car is great.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Eddie is just trying to create It's clickbaite Eddie right now.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
They do not see the email.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, I said the exact type of car. It was
like a Nissan x RX something.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Oh, what's the are they nice?
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It just sounded it has a it has a like
a cover over it like they're storing it for months,
like without running it. So I mean it had all
the description in there. So Eddie was just trying to
get something, you know, like clean something. He's like, I'll
just write this up, but no, ultimate is good.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Okay, don't act like we like I got clickbait from lunchbox.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You don't worry. Oh okay, Well, don't act like I.
Ray left his car down there forever. They had to
tell him, like, hey man, that's gotta go.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Right right, But they gave you the exact type of
car it was.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I didn't see the description. I just saw Nie say,
let's do this.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I want to read to you guys bits that I
know you guys have sent as just like clickbait and
raise the original clickbait. Ray, So clickbait. This one's from lunchbox.
Oh he wants talk about how he's beefing with a
country artist. Complete clickbait, Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Lunch I mean I am beefing with an artist, Miranda
Lambert because I walk in the office the other day
and there's two brand new pair of boots and one
is to Bobby and one is to Caitlin, and it
says thank.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You so much for your on air support.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Of the much strut you know sale that I have
every year. And I'm like, what, Caitlyn has nothing to
do with that. She doesn't come on here and promote it.
She doesn't have anything to do with this show. I
know she's Bobby's wife, but she is not the one
that helps do that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So I'm gonna say there's no way in the world
he'd really be mad about this. This is just him
wanting to.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No, no, no, if you're gonna get free boots to people,
free boots.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
We donated money too part of the show. No, we
also donated money as well, means money we put her
on the air. Yes, and then we also denotated money.
We often donate Miranda's cause. And I think even he
probably thought that a bit. No, I did not know that. Okay,
but is this clickbait lunchbox going on beating an artist
(14:36):
when yes?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Because I was annoyed, I was like, what did she
do to promote the thing? Like I'm not to be rude,
but you're the one that promoted you. I never do
not to be rude, So this is how we know
you're clickbaiting. Never in your life or you said not
to be rude. I was frustrated. I was like, man,
why does Caitlin get a free pair of boots for
doing nothing?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's a card for Miranda. Bobby thanks for always talking
about mu nation and and also for your support on
the rescue. Here's the best Miranda, and you always talking
about it. Caitlin doesn't talk about it. We donated money too,
That's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, now it didn't say anything about thanks for the
money donation.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I know that who I said thank for the support. I
didn't say thanks for the money donation the dollar amount? Yes, okay, well.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, and here let me tell you the article Eddie.
The email was said black Nissan three seventy Z. That
was the title of the email.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Sure clickbait from Eddie two. But thank you're the same Okay.
I got boots from Miranda and look.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Sign wow, this is your size.
Speaker 2 (15:35):

And plus she did say that she was going to
send us.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, I asked sign but to both of them.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
That's what I'm saying when he says thank you for
the support on air.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Now, Amy's trying to steal my boots. I had Miranda
sign them. Okay, those were hers right when she like
emptied out her Hey, these are game warn Miranda boots. Yeah,
like ballplayers like game signed Lebron's. Oh I just started
opening kitlens and I probably shouldn't done that. I'll just
tell her it came open, all right, kitlens, oh man,

cool cute And these are not signed, so I can't
keep on.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Oh yeah, those are real cute. They're denim.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Did Lunchbox want those? I don't understand. I would like
a free pair of boots. I don't know. I don't
in the pot. Though you know they're her boots, they're not.
Do you remember the shoe the show that we did
with her. It's all her boots that she had on
her closet that she's Warren correct. Mm hmmm. Oh. I
thought they were like for you to wear click bait
like bait done? No, no, guys, So about you, guys,
I get it.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I literally had no idea. I just saw brand new
boots to brand new boxes, and I was like, well, okay,
I don't understand why.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You didn't even ask any questions, So thank you clickbait Eddie.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, part of me what I asked Miranda and me
and her were beefing, so I couldn't ask her at
that point.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Part of my clickbait is that I have a solution
for Lunchbox in his car.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
But you guys will never ask what that is? What
is it? It's a huge solution. What is it?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I got a buddy of mine who opened a car
garage and he turns old cars into electric cars.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So he said, would you want to spend the money
on that to make an electric car?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Though I don't know if he wants the Ultimate to
run for the rest of his life. This now can
run for the next twenty years. That's cool, Electric Ultima on.
It'll be one of Loctrauma exactly, Electroma lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Are you interested if he's gonna do it for free?
Why would it be free?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, he might for well, I mean the dealers, the Nissan,
they told me theyd give me a new engine for
eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
But I mean that's not Once the engine goes out,
the spark plug's gonna go out, the car raid is
gonna go out.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Thank you guys for both trying to get something on
the air. And you guys weren't even that upset or.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I was not happy. I was not gonna listen to
any more. Miranda, weren't gonna play it came on the
show an interview you were part of. You were there, Yeah, yeah,
but that's that was the last one she was going
to be on. Oh you would get a banner from
the show? Yep, because I was upset about being treated
that way. But now that I know you donated money,
I really don't have an argument because I didn't donate money.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I thank you, Thank you clickbaiters, no problem, all right, Mike.
We should just start keeping track of all the crap
they send us out. It doesn't even it's just a
clickbait segment day. It's every day. That's not so much
from Amy, honestly, not so much from Amy, but between
all the rest of you guys, it's like you sit home.
You're like, man, I really wish I could contribute to
the show. How about this? I saw the light today.
I thought it might have died. How do you angle it?
(18:25):
Though it turns on? It turns out Eddie's light flicker
and we turned it on and then light bulb went out.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Well, they are inspiring me to better headline.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Thank you this stupid. You guys are still loved, but
this was stupid. Tango has been a good dog, but
he's eternally ill. He's in a hospice and he's being
cared for by people that take care of older dogs
(18:55):
and that part of it sucks. But the house where
Tango is staying there was a burglary attempt and Tango
went Toby keats, which is I'm not as good as
I once was, Yeah, but I'm as good once as
I ever was older and Tango, who doesn't have a
lot of energy, got up and went crazy barking. So
the homeowners were like, that doesn't sound normal if Tango
(19:18):
and the burglar wasn't all the way in the house
yet he had just like and so they came down
and Tango saved them. Luckily the burglar didn't like attack that.
The burglar ran off, so that's awesome. It's the Golden
Paul Hospice foster program which people take care of these
dogs and Tango saved the house.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Golden Paul.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, that's cute man, big shout out, Tango.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, man, they say, like, get a dog, because just
the bark alone could really like save your house or
that case, you just get a sound.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Machine, Tango, big shout out. That's what it's all about.
That was telling me something good on the Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Now, Barbara corkran from Shark.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Tak Barbara good to talk to you. Thank you for
spending some time with us.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
My pleasure, Bobby.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
We just had a deal on the show. We had
a PhD in education come in and she tested a
lot of us for dyslexia and it was a pretty
emotion Yeah, it was a pretty emotional show because we're
talking about four adults and two of the four and
again it wasn't so much a bit as it was
a learning experience on the air that ended up being
a compelling segment. But two of the four needed to
(20:26):
have what she said was an intermission for dyslexia because
Eddie on our show, he was like, I think I
might be dyslexic and I just never had it ever
diagnosed as a kid. So she was a PhD education
and she said, I'll come up and test you guys
what I do with kids usually, And so two of
the four of us were diagnosed with dyslexia. Do you
(20:48):
have dyslexia?
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Of course, But you know, most people find out they
have dyslexia when they have children, and it's diagnosed in
their own children, they recognize themselves. But until they recognize
it in the themselves as adults, they think they're stupid.
That's the damage that's done by dyslexia. Nobody's as enlightened
or told that. It doesn't mean you're stupid, just means
you have a different way of learning.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And I'm glad you said that because Amy, who's my
co host here. Whenever she found out and she started
to see that some of these things that were seemingly
easy to others were a struggle to her, and not
because she didn't know something, it's how she was interpreting it.
She started to get emotional and cry because she felt
like what you want?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
I think, Well, it was there were several layers to it.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Some of it was vulnerable doing it on air and
like feeling exposed in a way, but also relief because
I'm like.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Oh, yeah, there's a lot. Yeah, like this makes sense.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Now I get why high school, college, even you know,
going back junior high.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
It is such a struggle for me.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
And I did have a narrative Barbara that I was, yeah, stupid.
I mean there was just times where I thought, well,
this is my story in my head and it would
loop over and over, even though I would try to
do therapy and fight it. But now there's an explanation,
and now hopefully I can do something about it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
How was that for you when you were when you
found out you were dyslexic?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Well, initially, when I found out I was dyslexic, I
was relieved, officially, but I knew I was dyslexic as
a kid, or at least I knew I was dumb
as a kid. But let me tell you something. It
wasn't until I was older that I realized what an
advantage it was. It was an advantage being in school
early and being made fun of. It was an advantage
(22:29):
being rejected and getting over it. It was an advantage
and being different than other kids and being okay as
an outsider that you didn't fit in, and it was
an advantage in growing you up really fast. But fortunately
I had secret, a secret weapon, which was my mom
who told me, you can't read, don't worry about it,
but you have a wonderful imagination and you'll fill in
(22:50):
all the blanks.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And she was right. I mean, she.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Built up the part of me that was the gift
of dyslexia, my imagination, which is definitely a gift. And
with that I was able to really create ideas, businesses.
People see things differently than other people. You know, you
have so many gifts as a dyslexic adult, especially if
you're building a business, because you can recognize talented people,
You have more empathy in people, You know how to
(23:15):
read a situation because you're intuitive much more than the
average learner. They have so many advantages and you're accustomed
to be an outsider, and in business that turns into
an innovator, which has been my greatest gift.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Which I'm so thankful that you're on with us today
because we just had this with a lot of parents
that were listening where they're having to.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Ask you what questions she asked.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So they did. It was like a four part It
took us a while, It took us a whole hour,
she would One of the parts was there was an
entire sheet and there were like two hundred letters and numbers,
but some of them were just backward and you had
to go through at ninety seconds to circle as many
that were backward as possible, And so that was a
part of it. There was a reading reading part of
different words was embarrassing. That's the worst.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's when I cried, Barbara.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, you should cry because it runs so deep.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That sort and so many parents. You know, I'm glad
you're here because you're wildly successful and you're someone who
was dyslexic and found the advantage to it because you
did have to approach things differently and in a way
that other people hadn't And when you pave a new way,
that's often what leads to success.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yeah, if you're a dyslexic, the right field for you
to go in is to be an entrepreneur. My business
is that I've invested on Shark Tank. I always look
for the losers, the losers as kids, the kids that
got judged hard by their parents and teachers and didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Think they were going to go anywhere.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
If I get a loser in my portfolio, they always
become the winners. They try hard, they have something to prove,
it's they have forte.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They're out in the real world.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
They get specialized in one thing and they do it
better than anybody else. Dyslexis are the way to go
if you want to make money in business, in entrepreneurship
that is I want environment forget about it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You don't get promoted. You have to learn like other people.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I want to talk about Barbara in your pocket because
it's so cool and it's and you know, my wife
subscribes to a few different people on Patreon, and so
you're doing Barbara in your Pocket on Patreon, so people
can actually come on as part of it and do
live Q and a's with you.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Of course, you know why it's so important because entrepreneurs
with the starting out, they might look like they know
what they're doing. They start out that way, but in
shorter or do they start doubting themselves.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
What I think you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Need more more than the actual hardcore business advice like
how to get the money, how to manage your cash flow,
how to manage your day, all those topics I address,
But you know the one I address the most is
how do you believe in yourself? How do you feel
like you're entitled to be rich, You're entitled to make
something of yourself. You're entitled to show off and say
look what I've done. And it comes harder women even
(25:49):
than men. But everybody struggles with that. Entrepreneurs need a
lot of help, and usually they start as a party
of one. They don't have a sounding board that doubts
all quiet. They don't want to bring them up and
they don't want to make failure and they don't like
to ask for help.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I shove my help at them.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Try to anticipate what they're going to do, listen to
their question, then really read behind the question and give
them the right answer that they can move forward. I
think it's so essential. You know, not everybody has a mentor.
I'm a good mentor. I know how to build businesses,
and it's easy for me to rip off and tell
them what they ought to be doing, and the really
good ones always listen and execute right away.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm just crazy about it. I think it makes a
big difference.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You guys can go to Barbara in yourpocket dot com
and she has this Patreon community that you can subscribe
to with Shark Tank and it. I mean, season fifteen,
do you ever feel like I just invested into a
whole lot of businesses. I'm good, but you got to
go back and do the show.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
You have to remember the good businesses as you're invested
in the ones that didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You're right right off. You know what I have in
my office.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
I have all the pictures of every entrepreneur I ever
invested in, and when I don't think they have the
talent or they're a victim and feel sorry for themselves.
I see that in the progress along the way or
lack of progress. I turn that you're upside down. So
I always know when somebody's calling me in one self.
Once we immediately I look at the wall and see
are they upside down?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
When I forget?
Speaker 8 (27:08):
And I talked to the people that are right side
up because they have my winners.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Amy has a question for you that she was nervous
about asking. I don't know what the question is going
to be.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Amy is nervous, I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yes, she is nervous because she has a vulnerable question.
But you can have it if you want to ask it.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Typically I'm not to speak on anything, but I was
married for seventeen years and got a divorce last year.
I never handled finances in our marriage at all whatsoever.
I didn't even know how to log into our bank account.
It's not proud of that, but I obviously the last
several months, have had no choice but to get heavily involved.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
And we have two kids.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
I wanted to stay put in the house that we're in,
but you know, the real estate market got a little
crazy and our house went up a significant amount, so
I was buying him out of our house at the
highest amount possible. It's been gone. Yeah, horrible timing actually,
especially for what we bought it for. So yeah, him,
(28:05):
but but I'm the one that chose to stay there
like and then you know, he went and bought a
different house. So this is just us splitting at fifty
to fifty. But I took out a heelock to get
the cash to do that, and because I wasn't involved
and I wasn't paying attention, I just kind of thought, oh, well,
I need a lot of cash.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I'll do this. And it was at eight percent.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
And now that I'm involved, Barbara, I am sitting down
and I'm looking at numbers, and in my mind, I
for months I have been paying towards this helock, but
because it's eight percent, I realized it hasn't budged at all.
So I've been paying towards the interest, and I don't
I feel I don't know if I just was doing
what I needed to do to survive at the moment,
(28:47):
or if there's another road for me or what I
should do, or if you have any advice on how
to get it down, but.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Just a different way of looking at it. Ten years
from now, you're going to look at yourself a safe thing. God,
I bought the house because you're looking at value now
what it was in the past.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Your memory is you deficit. It can't help it.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
To measure against what's come before. Gets in the way
of me investing in property. I think, yeah, I sure
have gotten that building last year for a one hundred,
you know, million and a half dollars, and now I
have to pay two million. Why would I want to
do that? The new kid on the block comes in
and pays the two million, makes a fortune of five
ten years from now when it's worth seven million, you know.
So you deficit is that you're remembering comparing it to
(29:28):
what you bought before. But in ten years, five years,
that housing market is going to go crazy across the
board and you'll be making more money. About the interest
rates and not paying down your principle. So well, that's
the way loans work. They hardly pay down the principle.
For the first five years. You're killing yourself. It's mostly
interest you're paying. You can't change that, and you're only
(29:49):
paying one percent more than the current market. Can you
refinance it one percent? Makes about a ten percent difference
in your monthly payment. Would that make a life change
for you? You might be obsessing over something that isn't
as important as you think it is.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
What do you say about that?
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Oh, I feel I feel a lot of comfort hearing
you say that, because I think now that I'm just
new to getting involved and and I'm thankful that my
my mortgage in this helog is it's it's my only
debt at the moment, So I'm just gonna take care
of advice. Yeah, and I can so, Yeah, thank you
for that. That's comforting to hear, Like, I don't need
(30:27):
to obsess over it, but I'm proud of myself for
being involved.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Next time you get married, and make sure you do
a prenup and if you forget about it, then do
a post up after you get married.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
That's very important for women or doing doing both things.
Should doing both the free and a post posting up
is a thing, Yes, postnuptials, I get it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Oh right, Yeah, I just never heard of anybody doing
a post up.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Barbara do every week? Knew it? Everyone? Eddie, you have
a question for Barbara? I do I do? Barbara?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
So I have a smoking chicken business called producer Eddie
smoking hot chicken. And by business cool name, thank you
thanks seeing she likes it. And by business I mean
I just kind of make really really good smoked chickens
sell it to my friends and family. Basically, I want
to turn this.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Inby and a hobby and a business maybe huh.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Totally yes, And I want to make this into a
legit business. But everyone I talk to is like, man,
food is really dangerous, Like it's just really risky to
go in on food. What is your opinion on going
into a food business?
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Oh, listen, My best investments that are all food businesses.
I love the individuals that run them because they're usually
carrying people that want to feed people, the nice people,
and they they just do business well and have people
respond well to them. So forget about a food business
being a bad business. They're profitable. I think the hard
thing is going to be from you to move from
your family and friends. Figure out your cost your hard
(31:50):
costs really well, your shipping costs, figuring out how to
get online, figuring how to advertise it, which eats away
at your profit. But if you can figure that model out,
why try it? What do you want to do you
want to be an old guye ten years from now
and you want to say I wish I should have
could have? No, you want to try it and push
it as fast as you can. I mean, it's a
good name, if it's a good recipe, other people are
(32:11):
going to like it. Unless all your family and friends
are lying to you, are they line?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, I don't think yeah, yeah right. Go for the
final three final questions for Barbara Corker and which by
the way, go to Barbara in Yourpocket dot com and
you can see all about her new Patreon community where
you can do live Q and a's with her and
so much more. Lunch Box a question for Barbara Corker
from Shark Tank.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Yeah, so there's businesses you pass on on the show.
Are you allowed to outside of the show to keep
following them and then approach them later? If you say,
you know what, I made a mistake and go after
that business.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
It's a great theory.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
But let me tell you, the minute that door closes
in that business is out the door.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I never think about them again.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
I mean, there was one business in Season one, believe
it or not, that has stuck with me. But the
people have long passed away, which I did pursue after
the fact. It was two old people having underwear aligned
with charcoal that if they had gas, you couldn't smell
the gas. I thought, what a stupid business, But it's
haunted me for years, thinking, gee, that's a great business.
(33:11):
Who wants to be smelling all the time? But those
people arelong gone. That's the only one I swear usually gone,
they gone. There's so much on Shark Tank, so many
businesses walk through the door, so many new opportunities that
you can't really regret anything that you've passed on.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Final two questions for you, Barbara, with Mark Cuban levying,
how do you feel about that? And how's it going
to affect the show?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Broken Hearted? He's big shoes to fill.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
They're going to really have to hunt to get somebody
to fill his shoes. Mark, if you realized it has
so much going for Number one, he's got a billion
dollars the rest of some millionaires. Having a billion dollars
means he buys a lot more businesses, a lot more activity.
That's one. He's got a big personality. He's a lovely man.
What you see is what you get. He's sincere when
he works with businesses and he really helps him. Mark
(33:59):
is golden. I wish I hadn't married him when I
met him, but he was already married because I could
still have my hoax in the guy I sit next
to Mark. He does all my math. That's very helpful.
As a dyslexic, I can't add things up. I say, hey, Mark,
tell me how's this? What percentage this? And he always
does my math for me. Now I'm going to miss
him dearly, but the show will go on, but it's
(34:21):
not going to be an easy time replacing Mark Cuban.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Final question for you, Barbara, and by the way, everybody
check out Shark Tank Friday's nationwide ABC at eight seven Central.
And again, Barbara, and youourpocket dot com, which is a
Patreon community with exclusive content and exclusive access to Barbara Corcoran.
My question would be with you and your organization. How
many unread texts and emails do you have currently and
do you have a rule about reading them all at
(34:45):
by a certain point before.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
I go to bed at night. I'm one of these
phobic people.
Speaker 8 (34:49):
I have to read everything. I just can't go to
bed without answering stuff. So I read hundreds and hundreds,
but I'm really good at it with my one figure typing,
and I've learned how to have short responses.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
And do you have forty or fifty just red dotted
throughout the day like on your email right now? Will
there'll be one hundred right now if you don't check
it for an hour or a thousand.
Speaker 8 (35:09):
I don't have my phone here, but I would say thirty.
Maybe I'm guessing that's clost noon time, right, thirty.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
That's not so bad, right, That's not a lot of spam. Yeah,
I mostly it's all a span for me.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
So many blocks in place. Really, Okay, I.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Just thought of a bonus bonus question that might It
might be something like you would see on Barbara in
your Pocket. And it's an idea that just popped in
my head about my loan Bobby, because the bank is
eight percent? You do you want to loan me the
money at three percent?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
You ask him, Bobby, I could tell looking at him,
he is cheap. He's not going to give you the money.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I'll give it to you at seven point five.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Well, but how do you feel about friends loaning friends money?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Bad? Idea? You know you have to do.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
You have to decide what's more important getting the money,
the discount the deal, or losing a friend. In my mind,
losing a friend takes a lot more energy to re place,
if ever you really do it, then losing money.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
I lose money any day.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
The biggest problem I have being an individual that's positioned
as someone with a lot of money, is everybody's got
a ten thousand dollars problem every day of the week.
You know, I used to loan people money all the time. Now,
if I have a family or friend or some relation
in some way wants ten thousand dollars, I give it
as a gift because I do not want to lose
the friend. When you lend money to a friend, what
(36:26):
happens is the equation is off balance. You know, you're
the superior person who did the lending and the person
who got the money.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
As nice as they are, they'll resent it. It ruins
the friendship. I've never seen it succeed.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
All right, Barbara, thank you, everybody check out Barbara and
talk dot Com. Bye Barbara, Bye bye bye. Let's do

A bunch of rats.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
The rats, the drugs.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
They started eating all the marijuana. How they found out
they heard Bob Marley play in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
No, that's not true, but the rats part's true.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
They're all like, hey man, what news.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
That's pretty cool. Finally, am I dude news. Let's talk
about sports and money. Let's talk about one guy that
has made four hundred and eleven million dollars oh playing
a quarterback. Kirk Cousins just signed with a different team.
He's been with the well the Redskins at the time. Yeah, yeah,
and then he signed with the Vikings, and he just
(39:13):
signed with the Falcons. And he's only won one playoff
game ever, but he's made almost half a billion dollars.
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
It's like that guy we saw in Vegas who was
the backup quarterback, Chase.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Daniels, who's made a ton of money and it started
like two games. He's only played a couple of games.
It's career so much money. He's retired now, but in
twenty sixteen, so his first deal was a standard rookie
deal coming out. So he's made like two three million
bucks a year, but went in twenty sixteen, he made
nineteen million, twenty seventeen, a twenty three million, twenty eighteen,
eighty four million on a three year deal, then sixty
(39:47):
six million, then thirty five million, and this one's one
hundred and eighty million dollars deal. That's so much money.
I'm doing the wrong job, dude, that you couldn't do
that job. He's won one playoff game, yeah, and he's
coming off an injury. Yeah. He he gets beat up
a lot, but four hundred and eleven million dollars through
the end of this next contract. That is crazy.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
You new.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Bought to find the news Day said Dakota. I send
that to him, and I don't even know they want
to saying that, I don't know. I don't know. I've
not talked to anybody from the Visitor Bureau of South Dakota.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I put you there are a bunch of cool dudes
in South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I love that, like awesome jukes. I don't know true
good news. Thank you. It's time for the good news.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
So Norma Hernandez she has cancer and she was an
upset that she wasn't able to get her nails done
before she had to go into the hospital, which I
can understand that feeling. I feel like when my mom
was in the hospital fighting cancer. A lot of times
she wanted to look good, you know, feel good, feel good,
you know, So she didn't get her nails done. A
local nail salon heard about it and love it, called
(41:00):
Absolute Nails, and they showed up at the hospital to
give her a complimentary manicure.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
That's awesome, and it's about so much more than the
complimentary manicure. It's about the thought and caring enough about
it to take part of their day to go help her.
And I'm sure it made her feel so much better
and cared for. That's a great story. See, you don't
have to be a millionaire to affect people's lives. And
shout out in Lubbock, what's her name, we'll get my
nails done there. What's it called?
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Oh well, her name is Norma, but Absolute Nails absolutely
no one.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Put up my calendar. Next time in Lubbock getting nails done?
Speaker 6 (41:29):
Yeah, And then shout out to normous friend Debbie, because
that's how Absolute Nails heard about it. She was calling
around a different salon city who could possibly come up
to the hospital too, help.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Shout out to everybody you know. Yeah, that's it. That's
what it's all about. That was telling me something good.
The transmitting.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What's up, Welcome to Wednesday show? More than studio money.
All right, let's check in with their buddy, Let's go
around the room. I didn't know if I wanted to
cry or laugh when he signed my ball with Larry
Bird's autograund It's head a man, Dude.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I waited a long long time to watch this movie.
And now that I've seen it, I'm like, what a
terrible movie.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
The Bling Ring, Like we've talked about people that robbed
the celebrities houses.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, We've talked about it, and I'm like, oh, it
came out what like in the early two thousands, and
I'm like, I'm gonna watch this. Oh yeah, twenty thirteen.
And I finally watched it the other night.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Dude, it is terrible the movie or what they did
wasn't that interesting?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
No, No, what they did is amazing. That's why I
always wanted to watch it. I Mean, they broke into
so many celebrities houses in Hollywood. It did all kinds
of stuff. Paris Hilton's houses, every house door unlocked, every
house down. They just they would just go around and
check all the doors. They would just go and ooh,
this sliding doors open, what's going in? No way? And
(01:08):
sometimes they wouldn't even steal. They would just hang out
in the house and act like they were the celebrity.
I mean, the story is unbelievable, but the movie was
just them doing it over and over and over. There
was no cops at all. There was no like that
scene where the investigators are like, hey, what do we
have here? Like do we know who it is? Nothing
like that. It was just them going to every house
doing what they do. Terrible movie, terrible movie, crazy story. Dude,
(01:33):
it's crazy. And I think there's a new documentary as
long as.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I say, did you watch a movie or was it
a documentary?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
This is the original movie that they.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
With Emma Tom's Yeah, I don't know, dude, Emma Watson's
I won't be watching it.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Don't watch It's a waste of time. Next up, the
sale of the palette items will most likely never be complete,
but we were impressed that he put some of them
in a spreadsheet.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
When you go to a concert, it's your decision, stand up,
sit down, whatever you want to do. The artist should
not be up on stage scolding you, and Madonna found
out the hard way. She is in the middle of
her concert and some woman is sitting down and Madonna
starts going, why are you sitting down there?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Why are you doing down?
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Sorry about that?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
She was in a wheelchair. This is terrible, Madonna.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
She said, sorry about that. Politically incorrect.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh my goodness, that is so like she has a
choice to sit down anyway, like she doesn't have to
stand up. And then the point at her and then
everybody's going wheelchair wheelchairs.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
She's like politically and coress crench for sure. I saw
the headline and the video started playing. I could watch
the video. It's terrible. Didn't make Then she just goes
back to her conser, Yeah, what do you do? All right?
Next up, doctor Lauria praised their Madame Alexander dolls and
find out they're worth some money. But some of them
were missing limbs, which made it pretty funny. It's Amy.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
So I was in a meeting the other day and
I had a headache and it was kind of like
one of the headaches it's like all the way around
your head, and I guess it's called a tension headache
because one of the girls there was like, oh, yeah,
I get tension headache sometimes. And I didn't have any
pain reliever. So she said, put a pencil between like
a hoof like that. Yeah, and that just like kind
of keep it there gently. You don't like bite down
(03:29):
super hard, but that it should eventually like give some relief.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Is it because you're giving light tension to the tension
out understand? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
So I googled it later because I was like, wait,
what is behind this? And according to doctors, gripping a
pencil between your teeth can potentially relieve the tension in
the head. You just have to simply put it there,
not bite down, and it'll relax the jaw so it'll
stop sending thousands of stress and tension to the head.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
If you use your finger so that a hurt. Well
that wouldn't fight all the way down, but it would
look weird in a meeting.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Yeah, but yeah, you can kind of kind of have
a pencil you mounting a meeting. But I just thought, well,
I don't know if it works because it was really
relaxing me or placebo effect. Because I thought it was
gonna work, it started to work either way.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
All take it, put a pencil, what about pen it
doesn't matter whatever you have, make sure all right, Raymond
go ahead from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a great tipper
all the time, so usually the waiters get in line.
Bobby Bones, thank you. Hey. Question when when is too
old honestly to wear Jordan's?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Never?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Never? Okay, if that's the answer, that's fine. I did
a speaking engagement last week and have on one of
my favorite pair of Jordan's. They're ones, and someone's like, hey, dude,
you're too old to or Jordan's. Who said that? Somebody
on Instagram? So I just really was wondering, like, at
what age is too old to wear Jordan's? Maybe there
isn't one, because I feel like those are casual dress shoes,
(04:54):
they're clean. I don't wear them off in but they
are tennis shoes, but I would never play ball on
them cause they're not really made for that. Too old
for Jordan's at what age? I feel like you'd be
seventy and wear them.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yes, there are no restrictions to what you wear, like well, sometimes,
I mean there are certain things people wear. You're like, okay,
bathing suits, got it well, But I mean, let's say,
I don't know what's something that kids would wear now
that a hoodie or a jersey I think you wear
whatever too.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
But I'm saying generally, when the public was start to
judge you, dude, you do you man? You look good
in yours, I'm going to anyway. I'm just saying I
didn't think a great question. I didn't think there was
a on those shoes specifically, I didn't think there was
a max age. I thought they're kind of universal.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
And what are you're about to be forty four?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Yeah, dj College. Isn't he the one that has to
get carried because of his Jordan's? Yeah, but he's also
he's forty eight saying he's still rocking on them?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Are here? Okay, well I feel good the Morgan, what
do you think you're the youngest.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
No, I don't think you're ever too old for Jordan's.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Those are like a classic shoe to me. They're tennis shoes.
See I feel that way too. They're a classic shoe. Yeah,
I guess if I were wearing uh oh, like something newer,
not even or tennis shoe. But there are certain dress
shoes that are you need to kind of be in
your twenties to wear like what really loud like Prada
type shoe. You're just like n you'm too old for that?
Oh really, I think so, because there are definitely clothes
(06:13):
that older people shouldn't wear that young people do wear.
What about like tall black boots, like for women? You
think they can wear them? As long as we got
the body to go with it, we're good. So it's
only body specific. Yeah, do you have the body for
Jordan's idea? Okay, let's open up the mailbag.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Mail and we read it all the air to get
something we call body's mail bag.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I used to smoke,
and more than a few years ago we switched to
vaping and then eventually quit together. Recently he started vaping again.
It's driving me nuts. He's constantly puffing on his vape
like it's attached to his hand. There's a permanent cloud
of vapor in our living room. It's getting him last nerve.
Trying to be understanding, because I do understand a bit,
(07:01):
but I don't want to be that nagging wife. But
I also didn't sign up for living in a twenty
four to seven vape shop. How do I bring this
up without causing a huge fight? Should I just ask
him to take it outside or address the whole bad
habit signed wife of a vapor.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Yeah, that's tough. I'm gonna go to lunchbox first. On
this one, lunchbox your thoughts a man? Wait listen, let
him let the vape vape? Like, just you're you're married,
so vape it out. Okay, you know what I mean? Like,
you're not gonna divorce him over it yet?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right? Is that divorce worthy? Probably not just that, but
I guess if it is kind of the gang the
gateway into just being like, as screw it. I'm gonna
do what I want. But you're right, you're not gonna
divorce from it, right, Okay, let the vape vape, he
says Eddie.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I think eventually he'll get to the point where, like
he's gonna quit vaping. You just have to let him
get there. Oh so exhaust him of vaping. Well no,
I mean she she was a vapor so she understands.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Right.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Was he exactly right?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I know, But I'm telling you once he kind of
feels isolated. It's like those smokers that like, I start
smoking to hang out with people in the balcony and
now no one smokes, so I'm out here by myself.
I think eventually he'll get to the point where like,
I should probably stop vaping. It could be six months,
it could be a year, can be four years, but
eventually he will stop.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
But part of her issue is the house smells it
looks like vape all the time. Yeah, she was a
part of that too. So what was was it was
and they agreed together. Okay, I here are you. That
is your opinion my opinion.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
I think you can absolutely set boundaries around this, like
this is something that you know, if someone wants to
I don't know what's one of like another habit, like they're.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Maybe all able.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Okay, dip even that's still gonna be annoying, but you
don't smell that. I mean, I guess if you have
to kiss him and stuff, or you find dip cups
around the house. These are things that are can be
gross and disruptive. But if someone's like, you're addicted to
the well.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
You know you're not. You're not.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
You're not addicted to the game thing that you do
on TikTok not addicted.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You're not yet not addicted.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Okay, well, so there's some things people do.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
It doesn't disrust did asrupt the house, but your game
doesn't make the.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
House smell, and it's not you know whatever.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
This is something where she absolutely has every right to
set a boundary, and I think in a calm way,
she could also share with him some of the side effects.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh, don't do that, like all the pictures.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
And when I caught, whenever I caught, I didn't even catch.
I did not know that my husband dipped at all.
When we were first married. He was a pilot in
the Air Force and I was cleaning his flight suit
and I found a can of dip and I thought, well, well,
who's is this?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Somebody left the dim husband's hands.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
In his flight suit, And come to find out a
lot of pilots and the Air Force were dipping because
they did it to stay awake. But you do it
all the time. And so I printed out pictures of
people missing half their face because they got like jaw
cancer or something.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
And it didn't help.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
But you know why, I don't think it helped. Honestly,
it didn't.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I'm not recommending you do.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
No, that's not bad for like a kid.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Maybe he was twenty six, twenty seven years old.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
But I would think that he, as an adult, fully brain,
fully formed brain, would go I know that that's a
really severe example of the worst case, and odds are
if I dip forever, it's not still not going to
be that because what you're doing, you're in the worst case. Yes, yeah,
but I like it. That's a good approach. I think
with a kid, that's a good approach.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Here was also the big mistake is he was like
Special Forces Air Force. I think that in their mind,
they're like, do you know what we do on a
regular basis, and you're gonna like show me half of
the y because I'll worry about like I'm well, or
just like this is not the scariest thing I do,
Like I do far more difficult things.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
And I'm like, okay, fine, use the dip to stay awake.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
She starts dipping with him. Okay, So here's what I
would say. I don't think you're going to convince him
to not vape, right, because he's just going to hide
it from you. Otherwise, what I would say, and that
I wouldn't even say rule, but boundary that I would
negotiate is I'm not gonna vape. We quit. I would
love if you didn't vape, but I'm not going to
tell you not to because I know, for some reason
(11:07):
stress whatever, you're vaping, but you have to do it
outside because it makes our house smell bad and I'm
embarrass when people come over like for that reason. And
I think that's probably where you can go and that
he will go and be annoyed at first. I'll pay
for the house too, but I don't think that's too
much to ask, because it's not just about him. It's
not just about you. It's about what your house looks like. Also,
(11:31):
I would still ask him at times, could you vape
a little less? Don't nag, But I think if you
could express that in a way that doesn't make him defensive,
I think that would work. You may never get him
quit vaping, but at least the one positive step is outside,
and then maybe he gets so I know what, having
to go outside, especially in the winter, that he's like,
I screwed up not vaping for a while, then he's one.
But I think that's probably your best step.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
You could come up with other fun activities to do
together to take his mind off vaping activity.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The activity, Yeah, doing it, it's about it, bedroom, Yeah,
it's about it. I was like, Hey, I'm going a
vape oh orr you do this. Yes, all right, that's
the nail back. Thank you very much. Closing up, We
got your email and we read on you air.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Now let's find the clothing.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Bobby maail dig Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Eddie, what's up. Yeah, we got an email at work.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Somebody in the building said that there's been a car
in the garage parked for over a week and it
needs to be moved. And they described the car and
it was a Nissan. So I'm like, oh my gosh,
Lunchbox a Nisson car. A Nissan car, the ultimate broke
down and now Lunchbox has abandoned his car in the
parking garage.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Your car doing okay, Lunchy car is great.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Eddie is just trying to create It's clickbaite Eddie right now.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
They do not see the email.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, I said the exact type of car. It was
like a Nissan x RX something.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Oh, what's the are they nice?
Speaker 4 (12:50):
It just sounded it has a it has a like
a cover over it like they're storing it for months,
like without running it. So I mean it had all
the description in there. So Eddie was just trying to
get something, you know, like clean something. He's like, I'll
just write this up, but no, ultimate is good.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Okay, don't act like we like I got clickbait from lunchbox.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You don't worry. Oh okay, Well, don't act like I.
Ray left his car down there forever. They had to
tell him, like, hey man, that's gotta go.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Right right, But they gave you the exact type of
car it was.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I didn't see the description. I just saw Nie say,
let's do this.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I want to read to you guys bits that I
know you guys have sent as just like clickbait and
raise the original clickbait. Ray, So clickbait. This one's from lunchbox.
Oh he wants talk about how he's beefing with a
country artist. Complete clickbait, Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Lunch I mean I am beefing with an artist, Miranda
Lambert because I walk in the office the other day
and there's two brand new pair of boots and one
is to Bobby and one is to Caitlin, and it
says thank.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
You so much for your on air support.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Of the much strut you know sale that I have
every year. And I'm like, what, Caitlyn has nothing to
do with that. She doesn't come on here and promote it.
She doesn't have anything to do with this show. I
know she's Bobby's wife, but she is not the one
that helps do that.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So I'm gonna say there's no way in the world
he'd really be mad about this. This is just him
wanting to.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
No, no, no, if you're gonna get free boots to people,
free boots.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
We donated money too part of the show. No, we
also donated money as well, means money we put her
on the air. Yes, and then we also denotated money.
We often donate Miranda's cause. And I think even he
probably thought that a bit. No, I did not know that. Okay,
but is this clickbait lunchbox going on beating an artist
(14:36):
when yes?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Because I was annoyed, I was like, what did she
do to promote the thing? Like I'm not to be rude,
but you're the one that promoted you. I never do
not to be rude, So this is how we know
you're clickbaiting. Never in your life or you said not
to be rude. I was frustrated. I was like, man,
why does Caitlin get a free pair of boots for
doing nothing?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
It's a card for Miranda. Bobby thanks for always talking
about mu nation and and also for your support on
the rescue. Here's the best Miranda, and you always talking
about it. Caitlin doesn't talk about it. We donated money too,
That's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Well, now it didn't say anything about thanks for the
money donation.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I know that who I said thank for the support. I
didn't say thanks for the money donation the dollar amount? Yes, okay, well.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, and here let me tell you the article Eddie.
The email was said black Nissan three seventy Z. That
was the title of the email.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Sure clickbait from Eddie two. But thank you're the same Okay.
I got boots from Miranda and look.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Sign wow, this is your size.
Speaker 2 (15:35):

And plus she did say that she was going to
send us.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, I asked sign but to both of them.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
That's what I'm saying when he says thank you for
the support on air.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Now, Amy's trying to steal my boots. I had Miranda
sign them. Okay, those were hers right when she like
emptied out her Hey, these are game warn Miranda boots. Yeah,
like ballplayers like game signed Lebron's. Oh I just started
opening kitlens and I probably shouldn't done that. I'll just
tell her it came open, all right, kitlens, oh man,

cool cute And these are not signed, so I can't
keep on.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Oh yeah, those are real cute. They're denim.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Did Lunchbox want those? I don't understand. I would like
a free pair of boots. I don't know. I don't
in the pot. Though you know they're her boots, they're not.
Do you remember the shoe the show that we did
with her. It's all her boots that she had on
her closet that she's Warren correct. Mm hmmm. Oh. I
thought they were like for you to wear click bait
like bait done? No, no, guys, So about you, guys,
I get it.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I literally had no idea. I just saw brand new
boots to brand new boxes, and I was like, well, okay,
I don't understand why.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You didn't even ask any questions, So thank you clickbait Eddie.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, part of me what I asked Miranda and me
and her were beefing, so I couldn't ask her at
that point.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Part of my clickbait is that I have a solution
for Lunchbox in his car.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
But you guys will never ask what that is? What
is it? It's a huge solution. What is it?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I got a buddy of mine who opened a car
garage and he turns old cars into electric cars.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So he said, would you want to spend the money
on that to make an electric car?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Though I don't know if he wants the Ultimate to
run for the rest of his life. This now can
run for the next twenty years. That's cool, Electric Ultima on.
It'll be one of Loctrauma exactly, Electroma lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Are you interested if he's gonna do it for free?
Why would it be free?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Well, he might for well, I mean the dealers, the Nissan,
they told me theyd give me a new engine for
eight thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
But I mean that's not Once the engine goes out,
the spark plug's gonna go out, the car raid is
gonna go out.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Thank you guys for both trying to get something on
the air. And you guys weren't even that upset or.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
I was not happy. I was not gonna listen to
any more. Miranda, weren't gonna play it came on the
show an interview you were part of. You were there, Yeah, yeah,
but that's that was the last one she was going
to be on. Oh you would get a banner from
the show? Yep, because I was upset about being treated
that way. But now that I know you donated money,
I really don't have an argument because I didn't donate money.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I thank you, Thank you clickbaiters, no problem, all right, Mike.
We should just start keeping track of all the crap
they send us out. It doesn't even it's just a
clickbait segment day. It's every day. That's not so much
from Amy, honestly, not so much from Amy, but between
all the rest of you guys, it's like you sit home.
You're like, man, I really wish I could contribute to
the show. How about this? I saw the light today.
I thought it might have died. How do you angle it?
(18:25):
Though it turns on? It turns out Eddie's light flicker
and we turned it on and then light bulb went out.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Well, they are inspiring me to better headline.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Thank you this stupid. You guys are still loved, but
this was stupid. Tango has been a good dog, but
he's eternally ill. He's in a hospice and he's being
cared for by people that take care of older dogs
(18:55):
and that part of it sucks. But the house where
Tango is staying there was a burglary attempt and Tango
went Toby keats, which is I'm not as good as
I once was, Yeah, but I'm as good once as
I ever was older and Tango, who doesn't have a
lot of energy, got up and went crazy barking. So
the homeowners were like, that doesn't sound normal if Tango
(19:18):
and the burglar wasn't all the way in the house
yet he had just like and so they came down
and Tango saved them. Luckily the burglar didn't like attack that.
The burglar ran off, so that's awesome. It's the Golden
Paul Hospice foster program which people take care of these
dogs and Tango saved the house.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Golden Paul.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, that's cute man, big shout out, Tango.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, man, they say, like, get a dog, because just
the bark alone could really like save your house or
that case, you just get a sound.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Machine, Tango, big shout out. That's what it's all about.
That was telling me something good on the Bobby Bones Show.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Now, Barbara corkran from Shark.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Tak Barbara good to talk to you. Thank you for
spending some time with us.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
My pleasure, Bobby.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
We just had a deal on the show. We had
a PhD in education come in and she tested a
lot of us for dyslexia and it was a pretty
emotion Yeah, it was a pretty emotional show because we're
talking about four adults and two of the four and
again it wasn't so much a bit as it was
a learning experience on the air that ended up being
a compelling segment. But two of the four needed to
(20:26):
have what she said was an intermission for dyslexia because
Eddie on our show, he was like, I think I
might be dyslexic and I just never had it ever
diagnosed as a kid. So she was a PhD education
and she said, I'll come up and test you guys
what I do with kids usually, And so two of
the four of us were diagnosed with dyslexia. Do you
(20:48):
have dyslexia?
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Of course, But you know, most people find out they
have dyslexia when they have children, and it's diagnosed in
their own children, they recognize themselves. But until they recognize
it in the themselves as adults, they think they're stupid.
That's the damage that's done by dyslexia. Nobody's as enlightened
or told that. It doesn't mean you're stupid, just means
you have a different way of learning.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And I'm glad you said that because Amy, who's my
co host here. Whenever she found out and she started
to see that some of these things that were seemingly
easy to others were a struggle to her, and not
because she didn't know something, it's how she was interpreting it.
She started to get emotional and cry because she felt
like what you want?
Speaker 5 (21:28):
I think, Well, it was there were several layers to it.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Some of it was vulnerable doing it on air and
like feeling exposed in a way, but also relief because
I'm like.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Oh, yeah, there's a lot. Yeah, like this makes sense.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Now I get why high school, college, even you know,
going back junior high.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
It is such a struggle for me.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
And I did have a narrative Barbara that I was, yeah, stupid.
I mean there was just times where I thought, well,
this is my story in my head and it would
loop over and over, even though I would try to
do therapy and fight it. But now there's an explanation,
and now hopefully I can do something about it.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
How was that for you when you were when you
found out you were dyslexic?
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Well, initially, when I found out I was dyslexic, I
was relieved, officially, but I knew I was dyslexic as
a kid, or at least I knew I was dumb
as a kid. But let me tell you something. It
wasn't until I was older that I realized what an
advantage it was. It was an advantage being in school
early and being made fun of. It was an advantage
(22:29):
being rejected and getting over it. It was an advantage
and being different than other kids and being okay as
an outsider that you didn't fit in, and it was
an advantage in growing you up really fast. But fortunately
I had secret, a secret weapon, which was my mom
who told me, you can't read, don't worry about it,
but you have a wonderful imagination and you'll fill in
(22:50):
all the blanks.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
And she was right. I mean, she.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Built up the part of me that was the gift
of dyslexia, my imagination, which is definitely a gift. And
with that I was able to really create ideas, businesses.
People see things differently than other people. You know, you
have so many gifts as a dyslexic adult, especially if
you're building a business, because you can recognize talented people,
You have more empathy in people, You know how to
(23:15):
read a situation because you're intuitive much more than the
average learner. They have so many advantages and you're accustomed
to be an outsider, and in business that turns into
an innovator, which has been my greatest gift.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Which I'm so thankful that you're on with us today
because we just had this with a lot of parents
that were listening where they're having to.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Ask you what questions she asked.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
So they did. It was like a four part It
took us a while, It took us a whole hour,
she would One of the parts was there was an
entire sheet and there were like two hundred letters and numbers,
but some of them were just backward and you had
to go through at ninety seconds to circle as many
that were backward as possible, And so that was a
part of it. There was a reading reading part of
different words was embarrassing. That's the worst.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's when I cried, Barbara.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, you should cry because it runs so deep.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That sort and so many parents. You know, I'm glad
you're here because you're wildly successful and you're someone who
was dyslexic and found the advantage to it because you
did have to approach things differently and in a way
that other people hadn't And when you pave a new way,
that's often what leads to success.
Speaker 8 (24:21):
Yeah, if you're a dyslexic, the right field for you
to go in is to be an entrepreneur. My business
is that I've invested on Shark Tank. I always look
for the losers, the losers as kids, the kids that
got judged hard by their parents and teachers and didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Think they were going to go anywhere.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
If I get a loser in my portfolio, they always
become the winners. They try hard, they have something to prove,
it's they have forte.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They're out in the real world.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
They get specialized in one thing and they do it
better than anybody else. Dyslexis are the way to go
if you want to make money in business, in entrepreneurship
that is I want environment forget about it.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You don't get promoted. You have to learn like other people.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I want to talk about Barbara in your pocket because
it's so cool and it's and you know, my wife
subscribes to a few different people on Patreon, and so
you're doing Barbara in your Pocket on Patreon, so people
can actually come on as part of it and do
live Q and a's with you.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
Of course, you know why it's so important because entrepreneurs
with the starting out, they might look like they know
what they're doing. They start out that way, but in
shorter or do they start doubting themselves.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
What I think you.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
Need more more than the actual hardcore business advice like
how to get the money, how to manage your cash flow,
how to manage your day, all those topics I address,
But you know the one I address the most is
how do you believe in yourself? How do you feel
like you're entitled to be rich, You're entitled to make
something of yourself. You're entitled to show off and say
look what I've done. And it comes harder women even
(25:49):
than men. But everybody struggles with that. Entrepreneurs need a
lot of help, and usually they start as a party
of one. They don't have a sounding board that doubts
all quiet. They don't want to bring them up and
they don't want to make failure and they don't like
to ask for help.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I shove my help at them.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Try to anticipate what they're going to do, listen to
their question, then really read behind the question and give
them the right answer that they can move forward. I
think it's so essential. You know, not everybody has a mentor.
I'm a good mentor. I know how to build businesses,
and it's easy for me to rip off and tell
them what they ought to be doing, and the really
good ones always listen and execute right away.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm just crazy about it. I think it makes a
big difference.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
You guys can go to Barbara in yourpocket dot com
and she has this Patreon community that you can subscribe
to with Shark Tank and it. I mean, season fifteen,
do you ever feel like I just invested into a
whole lot of businesses. I'm good, but you got to
go back and do the show.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
You have to remember the good businesses as you're invested
in the ones that didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You're right right off. You know what I have in
my office.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
I have all the pictures of every entrepreneur I ever
invested in, and when I don't think they have the
talent or they're a victim and feel sorry for themselves.
I see that in the progress along the way or
lack of progress. I turn that you're upside down. So
I always know when somebody's calling me in one self.
Once we immediately I look at the wall and see
are they upside down?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
When I forget?
Speaker 8 (27:08):
And I talked to the people that are right side
up because they have my winners.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Amy has a question for you that she was nervous
about asking. I don't know what the question is going
to be.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Amy is nervous, I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yes, she is nervous because she has a vulnerable question.
But you can have it if you want to ask it.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Typically I'm not to speak on anything, but I was
married for seventeen years and got a divorce last year.
I never handled finances in our marriage at all whatsoever.
I didn't even know how to log into our bank account.
It's not proud of that, but I obviously the last
several months, have had no choice but to get heavily involved.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
And we have two kids.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
I wanted to stay put in the house that we're in,
but you know, the real estate market got a little
crazy and our house went up a significant amount, so
I was buying him out of our house at the
highest amount possible. It's been gone. Yeah, horrible timing actually,
especially for what we bought it for. So yeah, him,
(28:05):
but but I'm the one that chose to stay there
like and then you know, he went and bought a
different house. So this is just us splitting at fifty
to fifty. But I took out a heelock to get
the cash to do that, and because I wasn't involved
and I wasn't paying attention, I just kind of thought, oh, well,
I need a lot of cash.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I'll do this. And it was at eight percent.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
And now that I'm involved, Barbara, I am sitting down
and I'm looking at numbers, and in my mind, I
for months I have been paying towards this helock, but
because it's eight percent, I realized it hasn't budged at all.
So I've been paying towards the interest, and I don't
I feel I don't know if I just was doing
what I needed to do to survive at the moment,
(28:47):
or if there's another road for me or what I
should do, or if you have any advice on how
to get it down, but.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Just a different way of looking at it. Ten years
from now, you're going to look at yourself a safe thing. God,
I bought the house because you're looking at value now
what it was in the past.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Your memory is you deficit. It can't help it.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
To measure against what's come before. Gets in the way
of me investing in property. I think, yeah, I sure
have gotten that building last year for a one hundred,
you know, million and a half dollars, and now I
have to pay two million. Why would I want to
do that? The new kid on the block comes in
and pays the two million, makes a fortune of five
ten years from now when it's worth seven million, you know.
So you deficit is that you're remembering comparing it to
(29:28):
what you bought before. But in ten years, five years,
that housing market is going to go crazy across the
board and you'll be making more money. About the interest
rates and not paying down your principle. So well, that's
the way loans work. They hardly pay down the principle.
For the first five years. You're killing yourself. It's mostly
interest you're paying. You can't change that, and you're only
(29:49):
paying one percent more than the current market. Can you
refinance it one percent? Makes about a ten percent difference
in your monthly payment. Would that make a life change
for you? You might be obsessing over something that isn't
as important as you think it is.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
What do you say about that?
Speaker 6 (30:06):
Oh, I feel I feel a lot of comfort hearing
you say that, because I think now that I'm just
new to getting involved and and I'm thankful that my
my mortgage in this helog is it's it's my only
debt at the moment, So I'm just gonna take care
of advice. Yeah, and I can so, Yeah, thank you
for that. That's comforting to hear, Like, I don't need
(30:27):
to obsess over it, but I'm proud of myself for
being involved.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
Next time you get married, and make sure you do
a prenup and if you forget about it, then do
a post up after you get married.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
That's very important for women or doing doing both things.
Should doing both the free and a post posting up
is a thing, Yes, postnuptials, I get it.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
Oh right, Yeah, I just never heard of anybody doing
a post up.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Barbara do every week? Knew it? Everyone? Eddie, you have
a question for Barbara? I do I do? Barbara?
Speaker 3 (30:54):
So I have a smoking chicken business called producer Eddie
smoking hot chicken. And by business cool name, thank you
thanks seeing she likes it. And by business I mean
I just kind of make really really good smoked chickens
sell it to my friends and family. Basically, I want
to turn this.
Speaker 8 (31:11):
Inby and a hobby and a business maybe huh.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Totally yes, And I want to make this into a
legit business. But everyone I talk to is like, man,
food is really dangerous, Like it's just really risky to
go in on food. What is your opinion on going
into a food business?
Speaker 8 (31:26):
Oh, listen, My best investments that are all food businesses.
I love the individuals that run them because they're usually
carrying people that want to feed people, the nice people,
and they they just do business well and have people
respond well to them. So forget about a food business
being a bad business. They're profitable. I think the hard
thing is going to be from you to move from
your family and friends. Figure out your cost your hard
(31:50):
costs really well, your shipping costs, figuring out how to
get online, figuring how to advertise it, which eats away
at your profit. But if you can figure that model out,
why try it? What do you want to do you
want to be an old guye ten years from now
and you want to say I wish I should have
could have? No, you want to try it and push
it as fast as you can. I mean, it's a
good name, if it's a good recipe, other people are
(32:11):
going to like it. Unless all your family and friends
are lying to you, are they line?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, I don't think yeah, yeah right. Go for the
final three final questions for Barbara Corker and which by
the way, go to Barbara in Yourpocket dot com and
you can see all about her new Patreon community where
you can do live Q and a's with her and
so much more. Lunch Box a question for Barbara Corker
from Shark Tank.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Yeah, so there's businesses you pass on on the show.
Are you allowed to outside of the show to keep
following them and then approach them later? If you say,
you know what, I made a mistake and go after
that business.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
It's a great theory.
Speaker 8 (32:43):
But let me tell you, the minute that door closes
in that business is out the door.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I never think about them again.
Speaker 8 (32:49):
I mean, there was one business in Season one, believe
it or not, that has stuck with me. But the
people have long passed away, which I did pursue after
the fact. It was two old people having underwear aligned
with charcoal that if they had gas, you couldn't smell
the gas. I thought, what a stupid business, But it's
haunted me for years, thinking, gee, that's a great business.
(33:11):
Who wants to be smelling all the time? But those
people arelong gone. That's the only one I swear usually gone,
they gone. There's so much on Shark Tank, so many
businesses walk through the door, so many new opportunities that
you can't really regret anything that you've passed on.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Final two questions for you, Barbara, with Mark Cuban levying,
how do you feel about that? And how's it going
to affect the show?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Broken Hearted? He's big shoes to fill.
Speaker 8 (33:37):
They're going to really have to hunt to get somebody
to fill his shoes. Mark, if you realized it has
so much going for Number one, he's got a billion
dollars the rest of some millionaires. Having a billion dollars
means he buys a lot more businesses, a lot more activity.
That's one. He's got a big personality. He's a lovely man.
What you see is what you get. He's sincere when
he works with businesses and he really helps him. Mark
(33:59):
is golden. I wish I hadn't married him when I
met him, but he was already married because I could
still have my hoax in the guy I sit next
to Mark. He does all my math. That's very helpful.
As a dyslexic, I can't add things up. I say, hey, Mark,
tell me how's this? What percentage this? And he always
does my math for me. Now I'm going to miss
him dearly, but the show will go on, but it's
(34:21):
not going to be an easy time replacing Mark Cuban.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Final question for you, Barbara, and by the way, everybody
check out Shark Tank Friday's nationwide ABC at eight seven Central.
And again, Barbara, and youourpocket dot com, which is a
Patreon community with exclusive content and exclusive access to Barbara Corcoran.
My question would be with you and your organization. How
many unread texts and emails do you have currently and
do you have a rule about reading them all at
(34:45):
by a certain point before.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
I go to bed at night. I'm one of these
phobic people.
Speaker 8 (34:49):
I have to read everything. I just can't go to
bed without answering stuff. So I read hundreds and hundreds,
but I'm really good at it with my one figure typing,
and I've learned how to have short responses.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
And do you have forty or fifty just red dotted
throughout the day like on your email right now? Will
there'll be one hundred right now if you don't check
it for an hour or a thousand.
Speaker 8 (35:09):
I don't have my phone here, but I would say thirty.
Maybe I'm guessing that's clost noon time, right, thirty.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
That's not so bad, right, That's not a lot of spam. Yeah,
I mostly it's all a span for me.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
So many blocks in place. Really, Okay, I.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Just thought of a bonus bonus question that might It
might be something like you would see on Barbara in
your Pocket. And it's an idea that just popped in
my head about my loan Bobby, because the bank is
eight percent? You do you want to loan me the
money at three percent?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
You ask him, Bobby, I could tell looking at him,
he is cheap. He's not going to give you the money.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
I'll give it to you at seven point five.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Well, but how do you feel about friends loaning friends money?
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Bad? Idea? You know you have to do.
Speaker 8 (35:50):
You have to decide what's more important getting the money,
the discount the deal, or losing a friend. In my mind,
losing a friend takes a lot more energy to re place,
if ever you really do it, then losing money.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
I lose money any day.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
The biggest problem I have being an individual that's positioned
as someone with a lot of money, is everybody's got
a ten thousand dollars problem every day of the week.
You know, I used to loan people money all the time. Now,
if I have a family or friend or some relation
in some way wants ten thousand dollars, I give it
as a gift because I do not want to lose
the friend. When you lend money to a friend, what
(36:26):
happens is the equation is off balance. You know, you're
the superior person who did the lending and the person
who got the money.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
As nice as they are, they'll resent it. It ruins
the friendship. I've never seen it succeed.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
All right, Barbara, thank you, everybody check out Barbara and
talk dot Com. Bye Barbara, Bye bye bye. Let's do
some dude new Yeah, let's go dude normally place for news.

They looked at the surveillance camera. What do they find.
A bunch of rats.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
The rats, the drugs.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
They started eating all the marijuana. How they found out
they heard Bob Marley play in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
No, that's not true, but the rats part's true.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
They're all like, hey man, what news.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
That's pretty cool. Finally, am I dude news. Let's talk
about sports and money. Let's talk about one guy that
has made four hundred and eleven million dollars oh playing
a quarterback. Kirk Cousins just signed with a different team.
He's been with the well the Redskins at the time. Yeah, yeah,
and then he signed with the Vikings, and he just
(39:13):
signed with the Falcons. And he's only won one playoff
game ever, but he's made almost half a billion dollars.
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
It's like that guy we saw in Vegas who was
the backup quarterback, Chase.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Daniels, who's made a ton of money and it started
like two games. He's only played a couple of games.
It's career so much money. He's retired now, but in
twenty sixteen, so his first deal was a standard rookie
deal coming out. So he's made like two three million
bucks a year, but went in twenty sixteen, he made
nineteen million, twenty seventeen, a twenty three million, twenty eighteen,
eighty four million on a three year deal, then sixty
(39:47):
six million, then thirty five million, and this one's one
hundred and eighty million dollars deal. That's so much money.
I'm doing the wrong job, dude, that you couldn't do
that job. He's won one playoff game, yeah, and he's
coming off an injury. Yeah. He he gets beat up
a lot, but four hundred and eleven million dollars through
the end of this next contract. That is crazy.
Speaker 6 (40:08):
You new.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Bought to find the news Day said Dakota. I send
that to him, and I don't even know they want
to saying that, I don't know. I don't know. I've
not talked to anybody from the Visitor Bureau of South Dakota.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I put you there are a bunch of cool dudes
in South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
I love that, like awesome jukes. I don't know true
good news. Thank you. It's time for the good news.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
So Norma Hernandez she has cancer and she was an
upset that she wasn't able to get her nails done
before she had to go into the hospital, which I
can understand that feeling. I feel like when my mom
was in the hospital fighting cancer. A lot of times
she wanted to look good, you know, feel good, feel good,
you know, So she didn't get her nails done. A
local nail salon heard about it and love it, called
(41:00):
Absolute Nails, and they showed up at the hospital to
give her a complimentary manicure.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
That's awesome, and it's about so much more than the
complimentary manicure. It's about the thought and caring enough about
it to take part of their day to go help her.
And I'm sure it made her feel so much better
and cared for. That's a great story. See, you don't
have to be a millionaire to affect people's lives. And
shout out in Lubbock, what's her name, we'll get my
nails done there. What's it called?
Speaker 6 (41:24):
Oh well, her name is Norma, but Absolute Nails absolutely
no one.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Put up my calendar. Next time in Lubbock getting nails done?
Speaker 6 (41:29):
Yeah, And then shout out to normous friend Debbie, because
that's how Absolute Nails heard about it. She was calling
around a different salon city who could possibly come up
to the hospital too, help.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Shout out to everybody you know. Yeah, that's it. That's
what it's all about. That was telling me something good.
