Transmitting Welcome to Wednesday show morn Studio Morning Light.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Everybody's here.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You could be anywhere in the whole wide world, but
you're here with us, and we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Let's go around the room first.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He really wants his face to be on one of
the radio station vans, and he loves that no parenting
Sundays makes his family have zero plans here.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
He is Eddie.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Everybody, guys, I chickened out. I had the perfect moment
and I chickened out.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Let me set the scene.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
So at our baseball games, my kids baseball games, all
the dads, we all hang out or whatever. And in time,
I mean we've been the same team for like three years,
so in time we've talked about like what do you
do for a living?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Whow I do this, I do this whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
So they know I'm on the radio, and really like
every time I see him, they're like, hey, what you
do this weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Who'd you see Garth Brooks or whatever? So like Garth
is in the.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Studio, Standy Bulton was in the studio.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So that's kind of like they think you're connected everybody totally. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well then the other day we're at the park, and
I see Eric Church my kids playing his team, Eric
Church's sons team. So Eric's there and then and all
the dads are looking at me like, hey, look.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Eric's here. Why don't you say what's up? And I'm like, guys,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't know Eric, like really, like like I've met
Eric maybe three times. And he walks towards us, and
all the dads are like tapping me, like here you go,
here's your chance say hi, and I see connected exactly,
And then I'm waiting for Eric to make eye contact
with me. He walks right past me and all the
dad's are like, huh, he didn't you didn't say how
(01:32):
to Eric?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's okay, man, He's he's here with his kids. It's
like cool.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So I think all the dads are like, oh, maybe
he's not that connected.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Do you even know guard exactly? Yeah, that's embarrassing. Sorry,
sorry about that, buddy, terrible. What if you just said
Eric and he's been like, Hey'm Eric, nice to meet you,
Nice to meet you. All right, moving on, he spilled
the tea on Morgan by saying she doesn't know how
to drive, and he keeps asking for money for his car,
just barely hanging on to survive.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Here he has lunch.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Over the weekend, I stayed in my second Airbnb ever,
and I had an idea. It dawned on me because
this one was not someone's home. I didn't get to
snoop and find out about their lives.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It was.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was Airbnb all the time. And I sat there
and I said, oh, you.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Just wanted in that very distat were so excited to
get back in someone's business.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I was ready to find out about their lives, see
what they do for a living, where they went to college.
All that's very disappointing. But then it dawned on me.
A light bulb above my head. It went off, and
I said, this is a business idea, Bobby, You and
I we need to own an Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I mean a business iem. I mean that's what people
do all the time. What's the light bulb. No, the
light bulb is Bobby and I, like we.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Did thought I'd not just if I were going to
do that, just to get it, just do it myself.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, because we're business partners now, and so when we
when you go into business, we're going in together.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But you would have to be equal money because I'm
not going to trust you to run it. Could you
couldn't even run a storage.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey, I can run it. I mean, are you going
to pass on this one?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
No, no, we would be and we could advertise it as
Bobby Bones and Lunchboxes Airbnb. It would be sold out
every day of the week for three hundred and sixty
five days a year.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh not a decade. Yeah, I mean, I'm good on
this one.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
We put pictures up from the studio and like an artist,
people would stay in that thing all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Thank you, though, I'm going to pass on that offer.
I appreciate that. Thank you for thinking about me though,
for doing what I could already do.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I want it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We could do that together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
appreciate that though. Thank you, Lunchbox. Let's move on to Amy.
Creating connections with others is what she wants to be
remembered for, and she's been known to start crying randomly
in the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Here. She has Amy everybody here.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
So my daughter wanted to use one of my old wallets.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
We start cleaning it out and I see all these
gift cards and one of them is to bed Back
and Beyond and I'm like, oh, we actually need some stuff,
so I might as well go use this. It was
for one hundred and two dollars and seventy eight cents
from a while back when I guess I returned something.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
And I could put it on a gift card.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Well, so I go, and I guess they stopped accepting
gift cards.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh it died and died on.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
May eighth, they shut off gift cards, and I was like,
but this is actually money on here that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I Yeah, we know gif they do too, but because
they went out of business, I guess they had to
have a date to stop taking gift cards.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
So they're like, yeah, we don't actually have that money anymore.
So so it's just a bummer that I found it. Yeah, probably,
you know a couple of weeks too.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Couldn't know though. If our listeners have bed bathroom beyond
gift cards.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Don't waste your time, because honestly, a bed bath min
is not near me.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You drove I saw that fair by the way that
you you took your daughter soon and it wasn't even
going yet.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's up now, but I drove by and I was like,
that's the fair.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
My son went yeah, yeah, and you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Have one of those rides that goes upside down and
slings you, And I was like, any one one of
those on the side of the highway, no chance, no
chance I'm getting on that on the side of the interstate.
I need that thing to be in a fixed position
for life for me to get in it and know
that it's been there and it's been doing righting for
a long time. I can't prove that the thing works
at all. Anyway, Good job on you for sharing that.
I know that was painful, all right, Raight go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:03):

nerdy is cool.

Bobby Bones.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You look, I can't say what I want to say here,
but I'm gonna say just enough that you maybe can
figure out what I'm saying by me not saying it
because I've been told I can't say it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):

Speaker 7 (06:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, but you had you figured it out? Did you
guys already have it figured out?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I think so. I'm I'm doing it. Like it's confirmed.
I'm doing it. I'm probably going to die doing it.
But it's coming up in a couple of weeks. Oh die,
I'm scared to death.
Speaker 2 (06:33):

They called me yesterday and they were like, oh wait,
hold on, Yeah, you were wrong. It's not what you
just said.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's not will unfortunate, it's something else where. I was like,
I'm scared to death to do this.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
It's a second favorite color. And that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And and John Travolta played this in a movie.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
So I'm gonna do it. I can't say thing about
it until after I do it. But they called and said,
don't eat. I mean, you can have a small meal,
but don't eat before you do it because you'll vombit
everything up. It's just the whole situation. Are we gonna
know when I can tell you all three? I just
can't say anything about it until after it's over. But
I'm doing it. I'm lett know they know I'm doing it. Okay,
(07:21):
we're all there.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Watch how do we watch?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't think it's paper viewed. Okay, just go do it.
And they have video, okay, okay, so if you know,
if you know, you know, If not, I'll let you
know later. I just want to up their audience.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Have you told your wife?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeez?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Why aren't I answering that? No? Okay, you got to
tell her.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Du Yeah, Like you might need to get some stuff
in order.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I already have all that in order. On all right, Well,
we're gonna we all want to show here? Wow, started off?
Thank you. It's time to open up the mailbag.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You sendil read all the air to get something.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We call Bobby that. Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
My boss sent on an email trying to make us
all feel like part of the team and is now
encouraging an open door policy where he wants employees to
share our honest thoughts of him and with him. Admittedly,
I'm not the most subtle person in the world, and
I tend to play by the don't ask the question
if you don't want to answer mentality. I've never really
encountered this, but he's asked us all to submit five
(08:23):
suggestions on how we feel about our jobs, the workplace,
the management, including him, and so on. This question goes
out to those who have been through this before. Does
he really want this from me? Or should I just
play nice and continue to get paid signed honest, Abe,
It's tricky if you're not in a situation where you
have a relationship where the boss welcomes this. So my
(08:46):
advice to you is, if you are going to say
something that is not positive that is about him or
something that he influences, you better pad.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It with some really positive stuff too. But that's not
completely honest.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sure it is if it's true. I just wouldn't throw
all the naggs. I put all those negatives separate. I
hit you with one and put four posites in there.
You know I mean I'm separating it.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Oh do this ratio five to one.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
They say five positives cancel out the negatives.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So that would be my suggestion if you're going to
do it first, though I wouldn't do it. I would
just be pretty generic and do something where it's like,
I just wish our computer screens were a little brighter,
but let everybody else, like, let them go first and
be chum in the water and see if the shark attacks,
because if he started, if it's the boss, is the
heat right, if he starts getting mad at them and
being offended, and let them go first. Canary and the coal,
(09:37):
my baby, Let's say if I've poison in there, so
you could send a couple of things in there aren't
real like you know, I sure wish when we came
in the morning the coffee would be fresh.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Ooh good, Dorito's and the snack machines stuff like that,
and then still compliment.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But then let's see who he kills first, and if
it's nobody and he really values it, then you can
go hard.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, because what if you really do have feedback?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That would be home everybody does. It may not be helpful,
but everybody's got feedback. But just don't risk yourself. You
make yourself vulnerable offering up all this negative because sometimes
people say, oh, I just want to know what you
how you really feel?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Like you don't.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
People really don't want to know how you really feel.
Most of the time they say it, but they don't
really want it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I work for a company where they would do anonymous
you know, like this is going to be anonymous, but
tell us some real feedback, and then they would ask
for your name at the end of the sheet.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I'm like, that's not really anonymous.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I guess it means they're not going to publish.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I would that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
That's my advice, honest day. Just take a second, let
everybody else go first. If they come back unscathed, then
you can hop in the water there.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I mean, we want feedback, right, well.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We have to have it or we lose our job.
Like we have to have we get ratings, we get research.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But do you want feedback from us?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
From you guys? I do not?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh you know, no, no, I get it from other feedback.
I'm sure you do. I get it from everybody else.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I get from.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Listeners, I get it from research, I get it from ratings.
So no, I'm all good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well you
have any feedback, give me na, You're give me a piece.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Nobody even knows who's talking. Like your suret, Thank you
very much.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Your hat.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I like your joke even more positive. I like your organization.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Thank you one more.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I like how you can react on the fly.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Go ahead and the one negative. Hit him with a
good one, Amy, I was fired. Okay, you serious?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I would like a show retreat.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
No terrible, No, I think not even retreating, like someone
comes to us.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Retreating segment good enough, like bonding exercise.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
We'll send to you. You come back to us. How
it went. We got your gamemail and laid on the air.
Now let's find the clothes.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Bobby failed.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I've talked a couple of times on the show about
that movie Air. Have you seen it not yet? I
thought you sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's about Nike and Jordans and it's great. Is the
only movie I went to the theater to see. It's
on Amazon now you can watch it for free. But Eddie,
you try to watch it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I just want to know what you liked about it,
because and I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I
just started watching it and I fell asleep like forty
five minutes into it.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Not only did I like it, but I'm looking at
the audience score from Rotten Tomatoes ninety eight percent positive,
and yeah, I mean it's they're all nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Maybe you were exhausted.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I was tired. I'm always tired.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But I just felt like there was a lot of dialogue,
like a lot of like, oh, man, what are we
gonna do?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Do you need? Bombs? Do you need? I mean, I
haven't seen Jordan yet. Does Jordan come out of this movie?
I don't want to say anything about Can I say
what's up with that? Or no? Mike, Oh don't know, Okay,
just watch it, finish it. I can't believe you fell asleep.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Man, Like he goes to the house and Jordan's in
the house, and I'm like, okay, they're gonna meet and
he never meets Jordan.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's that's the last thing I remember. And then I
don't know. I'm gonna stick to it. But I mean,
you say it's really good. You thought there's a lot
of dialogue. I mean, you didn't lead to it. I
was so tired.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Here's the deal too, Like I'm watching it in my
mind just went to like, oh wow, look it's good
to one hunting.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But these dudes are like thirty years older. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
So you're blaming me for you not enjoying talking in
a movie, huh, and for you associating with a movie
they did thirty years ago, because I.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Mean every time Matt Damon talked to Ben Affleck, I'm like,
that's crazy man like that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, yeah, I never thought about that once, oddly really yeah. Oh,
here's why I like it. Sports one.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Two, the history of a product that I use. Three
Phil Knight. You get to see what he's kind of
like for running me.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Ben Affleck's a good actor and not just the guy
who's always said smoking a cigarette dunkin Donuts. Five.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Matt Damon's a great actor. Yeah, he's pretty good. The
return of Chris Tucker from Rush Hour was awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
The history of the scout who used to go to
these high school games to find players, and how not
only did he affect Michael Jordan in this movie, here
and that. But also he's the reason that athlete get
paid now that same guy, wow, because it all started
the video game and a UCLA basketball player, and he
was one of the front ones that was pressing that
case of.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The Supreme Court. Did you get to that at some point?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Nope, they don't. I'm telling you right now, like I'm
just a all of those elements I love. What about
the dialogue? I think there was enough dialogue. I honestly
I couldn't use more dialogue. Actually, yeah, so it's on
Amazon now, right. Did you try to watch it or no?
I've watched the whole thing. Thoughts it was good. Too
much dialogue. I just felt some stuff was missing. But
(14:31):
it was like what dialogue?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
All in watching this and now I'm like, maybe no
dialogue missing?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It was a strong movie. What's the cartoon?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The kids cartoon that flashes scenes every two seconds because
it's Coco Melon. Eddie needs Coco Melon a movie because
he cannot stay dialed in.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I will not watch Coco Melon. Now.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Don't give me a fake rating on it, because I
don't want you acting now. Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Probably will like it.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, here's the I don't want to give a and
I haven't finished finished four and a half.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That's an amazing movie, but you act to like you didn't.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, it's it's so good that I would watch it again.
But my five is my personal five. I'm just saying
it's a four. It's all our five are our personal five.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Five. We're not on a scale that were held accountable to.
I'm saying it's a really good movie.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It could have been a five, just just missing bigger moments.
I wish you would confetti, huge song, too much dialogue, right,
no competti, more explosions and Scottie Pippen.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I didn't see any chance for confetti. I didn't see
any opportunities for that.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Oh I saw a really good Scottie Pippen quote, but
it was on social media.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I hate Michael Jordan. I didn't get.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
I'm gonna say it now because I'm gonna I'm paraphraser,
but it's like, hey, you may have to wait ten
years to get to that one year.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
It's going to totally change your life something like that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, I remember, I thought that man to wait ten
years to get paid the money that you deserve.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Because Michael Jordan hates me is that it No, but I.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Just thought, wow, okay, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Like, hey, I'm looking at all the Scotty Pippin quotes.
It's not on there.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
No, Maybe Scotty Piper said, sometimes the player's greatest challenge
is coming to grips with his role on the team,
maybe by some other Sometimes there's that one again.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Once you get a taste of success, it's a hard
thing to turn down. That's good. Sure it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Pippin's ex wife on Real Housewives.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Larsa Larsa, She's dating Jordan's son. That's crazy. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Michael, Scotty's ex wife is dating Michael Jordan's son.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Like that's a slap on the face. Yeah, you know
he's doing that because he didn't get paid. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is my Jordan Hilda against it to him? Okay, look
we said it all. I don't even know when we
started this bit. Eddie finished the movie, Amy, you haven't
watched it yet, okay.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Scottie Pippen posted this on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Sometimes it takes ten years to get thought.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
He ride it like that day, dude, you like it's
a famous that I.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Should know it.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Sometimes it takes ten years to get that one year
that'll change your life.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Don't give up.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Did he say it or do you post somebody else
saying it?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Okay, he didn't say it. He just posted a meme
of somebody else if he were to put wow.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So if I post like George Washington saying something, can
I go look at my quote?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like look what I said? Yeah? Try it? Okay.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I just went to his instagram.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
And you know how when you don't look at somebody
for a while, because like, I just see him as
the young basketball player, like he's.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
You say him as the young BASKETBA player.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
That's the only time I see him.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Is he's older. Now yeah, a few years, he's like fifty.
And he was rude to me.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
No, yes, yes, yeah, but you're aggressive with celebrities.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So that was twelve, I know. Can you imagine you
at twelve? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That's the only reason though, I can't get on board
with Scottie Pippen was totally rude to you because of
how you run up and scare people.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Now well, I mean I did run up to him
with it. I mean I saw him at a mall
in Chicago. I ran in the store bought the exact
same hat he was wearing. Ran up to him as
he's walking towards the food court and I said, and
he's with one other guy. And I said, mister Pippin,
can I have your autograph?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Mister Pippin, it just doesn't it doesn't seem like you
hate lunch. Like I had a walker and I walked down.
I was like, mister pipp All, I need is one
autographed to save my life.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And he looked down at me without breaking stride. No,
kept on walking. Who if that is as you said accurate,
he can call my aunt Mary, she was there. Get
his aunt Mary on the phone. Call her up.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
She's the one that had to go back in the
store and yell, it's a store clerk to give me
my money back because the clerk wasn't to give you
my money back for the hat.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
If that's a true story, that stinks it. Scotty Pippin.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
However, you have a lot of strikes against you in
running up to celebrities.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, it started young, twelve years old. Everyboe they said,
don't touch Gwen Stefani. I put my arm around her
to take a picture and said no touching.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Sometimes takes ten years to get to that spot in
the fox heard that before.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, all right, go watch air Amy.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Let us know it's time for the good news.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
This man buys an engagement ring and his suit to
be step son accidentally flushes it down.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
The toilet like a kid, just like putting stuff in
the toilet.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
So he hired someone to run a camera down the
plumbing and they were actually able to spot it, but
there really was no way to get it. I mean,
city maintenance workers were involved.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
They were they had their eye out for it. Let's
just say that.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Fourteen months later they spotted and they're like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
There's the ring.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
So it went through a thorough sterilization process and has
been returned probably.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Not really like bill a don dishwashing liquid clean. Who
cares you got your ring back?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, that's gonna be How do you not get It's like.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Being upset at my dog if he eats a pin
or he chews up a twenty dollars bill.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He doesn't know. It's probably like the kid and then
bringing the toilet. I mean, my four year old.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
He ruined PlayStation controllers, remote controls all in the toilet,
I mean dozens.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Is that like when a dog digs a hole puts
the stuff in there? Is that what he would do?
We'd go to the toilet put stuff in there.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I thought it was really cool that you just put
it down a hole and you never see it again.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That is kind of cool though, because I don't really
know where it goes. Well, that's a good story. He
got it. But would she want to wear the ring
when it's been in the sewer? Or do you sell
it back, get the money and buy another ring?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
It says again, thorough, hear you.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But does she go you know, I know.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
You were going to use this, but then when you
sell it, do you have to disclose.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
All in the house?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You'll sell the ring? You said it thorough thorough. All right,
great story, that's what it's all about. That was telling
me something good. Here's a new game I just made
up called Shady or Not Shady, where each member of
the show that has one of these situations will give
it to us and we'll tell you if you're a
shady person or not.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay, I like it. Okay, let's go over to Let's
go to Eddie first. Okay, Eddie Shady not shady. What's
your story.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Okay, so last weekend, my kids wanted to go see
Fast and Furious, so they bought tickets to go to
the movie. They spent about ten minutes fifty minutes in there,
and apparently there was blood, there was a lot of
there was like a little sexy scene, and so they're like,
we can't watch this, so they walk out.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The kids said that.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
So it was my fifteen year old and my two
next kids, the nine and the eight year old, and
so they're like, we can't watch this. So they walk
out and they're like as they're going to the front,
they're like, hey, check it out. There's Gardens of Galaxy
you just started. So they walk right into Guardenings of
a Galaxy. And I'm like, that's great. That's what you're
supposed to do. Back in the day, I used to
just like go from a movie to another movie to
another movie.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Like for five hours, I've watched three movies. So I said,
that's great. Whatever you did was perfectly fine. Shady not shady.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
But what I'm saying, listen, I'm torn because they left
a movie. It's not like they stayed and watched the
entire thing. Had they done that shady, but they just
did a little switch, so not shady, not shade, as
long as they didn't get the full other movie.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Now here's kind of the economics of a movie theater
work for the most part, and I can bring a movie,
Mike and on this. When you buy a ticket to
the movie, really the movie companies getting that, not the theater,
not the local building you're in. What they sell is
the stuff that you buy, the food, that popcorn. That's
why they don't want you sneaking stuff in, because that's
the only way they make money.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
They making it off the movie.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
They're making their money off of the video games, the popcorn,
the Joe gannots, Yeah, the candy.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I don't even know what those are anymore, milk goods.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
So if you were to bounce to every movie, they
ain't really losing any money, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Is it a little dishonest? Sure, but not this situation.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I think because you didn't watch the movie and you
paid for a movie, it'd been the same price probably
to go to this one.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
That's what I'm talking about. I'm gonna go not shady.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Come on, now, we'd probably have a different discussion if
it was after the movie. But even then the movie
wasn't sold out. You could convince me since no one's
actually have a movie. Money taken from the mix up
the big company, even though it's probably not right.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I wonder if they would have gone on the front
and told them like, hey, we've been in there for
fifteen twenty minutes, we want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
If I would have said, you can go to other movie,
well then I'm gonna go. Not shady, Eddie, not shady.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
All right, let's go around there, let's box your up.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
So this weekend, this past weekend, we went to Oklahoma
City for a wedding, and I have a one year
old and we didn't have a bed for him to
sleep in because he rolls around, so he sleeps in
a crib. We didn't want to lug a pack and
Play all the way to Oklahoma City, onto the airplane,
through the airports.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
All that explain a pack and play to me.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
It's just a portable basically crib. It's a pop up
like crib. It has four sides on its boom, comes
in a little case, really easy boom. So I went
to the local store, big box store. You have him
in every city.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Good let the guy say, I was gonna say, I'm
not made yet.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I like to wait as a jar till all the
evidence is out.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
When we arrived in Oklahoma City, I stopped by, went
to the kids section, bought one, paid for it, went
to the Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Popped it out. Kids slept in it for nighttime naps.
It was awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Kids slept great, used blankets in it, and then packed
it up, put it in the box boom. On the
way back to the airport, stopped into that saying big
box store and returned it. Shady or not shady?
Speaker 9 (24:06):
That's shadycause you used a product without giving them anything
for their and that things I gonna sell for the
same price.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Now you actually took value from it. Oh yeah, I
decided I didn't want it anymore. No, you did it.
You knew you were.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Taking it back, went in with the intent to borrow
it for a night.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I think if you took it back because it's something's
wrong with it or is the wrong side, then I
would go not shady. But you did it with all
intentions of taking it, buying it, returning it, using it,
but not actually paying for any part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, I basically rented it. They didn't. You didn't rent
it because they didn't make any money off the rental.
You didn't pay anything, you know, But it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Was like rental and it was like, oh, you know
if you return it within three days.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's like a car if you buy it and you
get like two weeks. No, No, it's a rental car. You
have to pay for a rental car. It's not like
money on it. A rental car, you have to pay
for it to rent it. Correct this one, you got
your money back. I didn't get my money back. And
they said, oh, you just want to back on the car. Yeah,
thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, that's shady. I don't think anybody would disagree with that. Shady.
Shady to buy something with the intent of you're gonna
go use the product and then take it back.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Now taking intent out though, what's the difference? Your heart?
That's it. It's like people that wear a shirt.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
What's shady. Shady is your heart.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Sometimes you may do bad stuff and it may be
on accident, but it.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Didn't mean that.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's not a shady thing to do. It's an accident
that sucks it worked out there.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's shady.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But like with my story, you wanted to say, like, well,
this is how the movies make money, and so since
there was no money lost, it's not shady.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Well they lost money. They didn't lose money. They did
loose money.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
They can't sell it back at the same price.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
They can't know they can't return now there's gonna be
tape on it. It's used.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
They're gonna send it over to one of these stores
where they sell it for much cheaper because it's been returned.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
So really, I did someone a favor that maybe they
can't afford it full price cheap.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You're the robin Hood of playpens. Actually I did something good.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Eddy, not shady lunchbock shady I'm talking about that's it.
Court is dismissed. Was this court shady court?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Shady course, shady cord call it in session. We don't
do this a lot, but I'm just gonna ask you.
How's divorce life?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Amy? Wait? Why'd you go?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh? We don't do it a lot, but sometimes I
just want to check in. She announced it. It's free
to talk about so big d don't mean Dallas.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
How's it going? Well?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I have been proud how we've handled the whole thing
all along.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Means we have our moments.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
But I had to go by Ben's lawyer's office and
someone that worked there said to me, and I'm pretty
sure she told him the same thing, that like, y'all
should teach a class on how to get divorced, because
we've never seen anything like.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
This in what way good or bad?
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Good that you know, we've just remained thoughtful and kind
or respectful and kind, which has been our motto the
whole time, and we've been able to work together and
come to agreements quite honestly that our lawyers completely don't support.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Wait, so you guys, as the people that you've hired
to give ex ra opinions, you guys have said we're
going to do it a different way. Yes, and they
could be good, and they really.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Could be great.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I think, yes, I know it's going to be good
like I have been. We've also just.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Been together, open to creative solutions and brainstorming.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
As lawyers, like it's your job to protect your client,
and so I think both of us have heard multiple times. Okay,
I'll write this up for you, but just so you know,
it is my duty to tell you that I completely.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Disagree with this.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
But also at the same time, they're like, Wow, we've
done handled a lot of different breakups and this is
by far like the most amicable.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
One they've seen.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
And I just I can pop us on ourselves on
the back, and I want to celebrate things like that.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
It's not a not like.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
A brain moment, but more so that I'm celebrating the
fact that we've done something really hard and we navigated
it as well as we possibly could. And I don't
take that for granted, knowing that some people are not
in a similar situation. One person might be willing to
operate this way and then the other person is not.
So I do have gratitude for the fact that we're
(28:21):
both have done a lot of work and are on
a path of continued work and healing. And I think
that that's brought us to a place where we can,
you know, make decisions that completely throw our lawyers off.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So divorce has been pretty good.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I don't know what you mean by good.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
I don't know that there's really anything good about it.
I don't recommend it, but I share this as hope
for anybody else that you know.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
What would you call your class, I'd have to talk.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I don't know I talked a bit about it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I advise that you're turning that.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Let's see, I don't know how to do something. And listen,
we've had our moments.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Don't get me wrong, but but I would say in
we have a quick turnaround, you know, it doesn't linger.
It's more so like in the next thirty minutes, one
of us is saying, oh, okay, good step back, well
good all seriousness.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
That's great because there are other people involved.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Oh, I know, I hear from them, and so are
the kids.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Oh yes, he hears from them too. I hope you
hear from them.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Well, that is our number one.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Prioritiz what I'm saying. That's why it's great.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Other listeners I've heard, and I know that people are like, yeah,
I know people are going through something similar. They may
be starting the process, and I just want to share
this as hope.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I like it. All jokes aside. That's great, right, That
is hope for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
In words, they're on the very very front side of it,
which I know when you were it was not a good.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Time for you.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No, but celebrate or selfishly me right, yeah, or you
but celebrate every win. And I think that will lead
you to more wins, and don't Also, just because your
lawyer says something, I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm just saying you should listen to it.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
You should, and then you can make your own decision.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm okay with that. But most times, listen to the lawyer
because they know a lot. Yeah, because they just been
doing it a lot. Everyone.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
I know we still have TVD some of the scarback car.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
All right, let's play great. I'm glad to hear it. Seriously,
thank you. Voicemail from Annie in Pennsylvania. Here we go.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
I have a joke from warning Corny. What do you
call a man with nobody and no knows? Nobody knows?
And for fun fact, Friday, did you know if we were
one close, what even like one even inch closer to
the sun, you would all die from being burned, And
(30:43):
if we were one inch closer to the moon, we
would all die from being cold. That's my fun stuck
Friday and my moving Corny. Bye.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Thank you. I'm not even gonna fact check it because
it's so interesting. Well, it's pretty cool. I started with
all facts interesting, don't need a fact check it.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Great job, Thank you, Annie call Us anytime leaves a
voicemail A seven seven seventy seven.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Bobby Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
There's a trend happening on TikTok right now and it's
gonna help women feel better in their high heels. And
I had no idea this is the thing, and I
can't wait to try it out and see if it works.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
It's got ten million views. And what you do is.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
You tape your third and fourth toes together, and it
releases pressure and makes wearing high heels more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Is it because that third and fourth toe all the
pressure goes down into that spot.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I've never worn high heels good.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, so I don't really know. So explain to me
why they think that help.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
It's a hack from a shoe company and they're saying
this is legit going to bring comfort when you wear it.
It's the nerve that controls the most pain comes between
the third and the fourth toes, so when you bring
them together, it releases the pressure. The person that works
with the company that posted it said that their aunt
taught on that and it's good to go.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
You can use a.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Band aid or any other kind of like tape.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
The would be easy to remove.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Why not tape all three of the toast together, the pinky, the.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Third and the fourth.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
I don't know that that's necessary because.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm not taking between foot ankle all the way down
like the NFL players.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Why did they do that?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Why did they tape it all the way down into
their foot so they don't bend in?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Like that's like cool? Yeah? Yeah, mostly for that? Yeah,
all right? What else?
Speaker 6 (32:24):
A dad spent twenty one one thousand dollars for last
minute Taylor's Craft tickets.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Okay, so I did see this.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I think they're rich though, because didn't they buy other
tickets for like twenty thousand bucks too.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No, his first round of tickets were eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
One I thought it was eighteen thousand.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
No, eighteen hundred, and then I guess with stub hub,
you don't get the tickets delivered till the day of
or the sent to you.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
And then he was like, oh, I never got.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Them eighteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Let me say a lot of them were happening, but okay,
so he never got the tickets.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
And his daughter with her friends, they were expecting to go.
Oh they were the Christmas present, like, so he's thinking
way ahead. And then the tickets never showed up, and
he was pretty determined, so he had to go to
some other seller and bought them for twenty one thousand dollars. However,
stub hub is supposed to refund his original price, which
(33:18):
will offset some of the expense, but.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Not even two thousands, so he still pay nineteen thousand
dollars for tickets.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Go to the go to the venue. You can probably
get some for fun.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
It's still expensive, but in front of somebody's scalping tickets,
they won't be as good as seats.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
But there is no way, no way, even if I
have the money.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Well, if I have the money, who knows. It's all relative,
but I'm talking about normal folks.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No way. You're talking about a car. Did this guy
say it was worth a twenty thousand? In the story?
Like it was totally.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Worth As a dad, he.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Said, expectations met dad.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
You know he didn't want his daughter to be disappointed. Holley,
what's the craziest thing your parents ever did for you?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Well, I played my biology. I played hide and seek with
me when I was like, oh, and he rocks. I
think he's a chap never found him. Ntil I was like,
over thirty, he's good. Yeah, yeah, he was in here somewhere.
Oh yeah, awesome. I just didn't know how hard that
game was. And for a lot of my life, I
just looked and looked and looked, and I was like, dad, Daddy,
(34:28):
never found him. And then I even said stuff like Marco,
hoping he'd go polo and then we'd hug and be like, oh,
how fun is this?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Never he was so good at hide and seek.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
So when you found him, it's really awkward.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He'd been at the same place thirty years. Hide mind
a tree. I just didn't look behind that tree.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Oh woish you clarify that in case someone's just listening
for the first time.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I won't. He said what he said, I said what
I said. He was man a tree for thirty years.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Well, jelly Roll is a very present father, as.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
He posted him teaching his daughter Baileyanne, how to drive,
And as a parent, I can relate to this because
he was, you know, kind of using some language like
oh my god, you know, like very colorful words, and
I thought that's I was recently driving with my sixteen
year old and both me and her dad. We've both
(35:21):
done it where it was like a bad word has
slipped out while she's on the highway.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
It's just like that's the.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Scariest space to be, Like, I need a map of
all the back roads and how to get there because
I just don't think I want her on the highway.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Stars are just like us.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, yeah, just like you. Why in the world would
you ask any of us a question is open? And
it is and you look at me like, what did
your parent ever do?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
The surprise to you? Like you know where that's going?
Speaker 6 (35:44):
I think I probably knew where you might take it,
but and it was you.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Knew what it thought of that or I'd just be
quiet because I didn't have it. I don't have an answer.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
They maybe your grandma maybe did something nice for you, say.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Grandma, but she was pretty much a mom to you, But.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
You said parent. Maybe I'm okay, she adopted me.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
That is huge.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
What a surprise that was when I found out way
later because I didn't know it was a kid, because
she did that just so she had legal custody.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I mean, when my mom left any more stories in there, Amy,
I was like going as good as I didn't bring
this up.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
It added a little depth.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, you know, I could be a little shallow. I'll
be honest with you. You know, a little too much
depth sometimes.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
All right, that Amy, that's my pile.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
That was Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 7 (36:31):
It's time for the good news, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Detroit traffic officer Lenda Edge received a well financial boost
when a TikTok influencer highlighted her monetary struggles to his
sixteen million followers.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
That's a lot of followers.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
So what he did first is he gave her five
hundred bucks and a trip to a Detroit Tiger's baseball
game because she loved baseball, and so boom, thank you
for doing what you do.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Here's this posted on social media.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
The video got to over ten million people and people
started watching going, hey, we'd like to actually give her
a little bit more because we're moved by what she
does and her story, which he shared. The campaign, which
wasn't even supposed to be a campaign, just kind of
organically happened, raised over fifty four thousand dollars within three days,
and it happened so quickly that they were able to
give her that check at the baseball stadium, and she
(37:24):
didn't know what was coming, so she went to the
game to experience that they give her. They get her
down there, they give her a check in fifty grand Wow, boy,
that's why. Like, you're doing your job and you don't
even know somebody's recording you, and you're thinking, what kind
of shenanigans are they up to? But they give you
fifty bucks or a five hundred bucks and that's awesome.
You're like, I just had the greatest day of her
five hundred bucks and take you to a baseball game
and then you go in, they're like, Lenita Urge, come
(37:45):
down to first base. They give her fifty thousand dollars.
So pretty cool. It's viral kindness. I mean, what he
did was cool, but then what everybody else did because
they were removed, is awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
That's what it's all about. Right there, that was telling
me something good.
Transmitting Welcome to Wednesday show morn Studio Morning Light.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Everybody's here.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You could be anywhere in the whole wide world, but
you're here with us, and we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Let's go around the room first.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
He really wants his face to be on one of
the radio station vans, and he loves that no parenting
Sundays makes his family have zero plans here.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
He is Eddie.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Everybody, guys, I chickened out. I had the perfect moment
and I chickened out.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Let me set the scene.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
So at our baseball games, my kids baseball games, all
the dads, we all hang out or whatever. And in time,
I mean we've been the same team for like three years,
so in time we've talked about like what do you
do for a living?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Whow I do this, I do this whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
So they know I'm on the radio, and really like
every time I see him, they're like, hey, what you
do this weekend?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Who'd you see Garth Brooks or whatever? So like Garth
is in the.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Studio, Standy Bulton was in the studio.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So that's kind of like they think you're connected everybody totally. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well then the other day we're at the park, and
I see Eric Church my kids playing his team, Eric
Church's sons team. So Eric's there and then and all
the dads are looking at me like, hey, look.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Eric's here. Why don't you say what's up? And I'm like, guys,
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I don't know Eric, like really, like like I've met
Eric maybe three times. And he walks towards us, and
all the dads are like tapping me, like here you go,
here's your chance say hi, and I see connected exactly,
And then I'm waiting for Eric to make eye contact
with me. He walks right past me and all the
dad's are like, huh, he didn't you didn't say how
(01:32):
to Eric?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
It's okay, man, He's he's here with his kids. It's
like cool.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
So I think all the dads are like, oh, maybe
he's not that connected.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Do you even know guard exactly? Yeah, that's embarrassing. Sorry,
sorry about that, buddy, terrible. What if you just said
Eric and he's been like, Hey'm Eric, nice to meet you,
Nice to meet you. All right, moving on, he spilled
the tea on Morgan by saying she doesn't know how
to drive, and he keeps asking for money for his car,
just barely hanging on to survive.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Here he has lunch.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Over the weekend, I stayed in my second Airbnb ever,
and I had an idea. It dawned on me because
this one was not someone's home. I didn't get to
snoop and find out about their lives.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It was.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was Airbnb all the time. And I sat there
and I said, oh, you.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Just wanted in that very distat were so excited to
get back in someone's business.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I was ready to find out about their lives, see
what they do for a living, where they went to college.
All that's very disappointing. But then it dawned on me.
A light bulb above my head. It went off, and
I said, this is a business idea, Bobby, You and
I we need to own an Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I mean a business iem. I mean that's what people
do all the time. What's the light bulb. No, the
light bulb is Bobby and I, like we.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Did thought I'd not just if I were going to
do that, just to get it, just do it myself.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Well, because we're business partners now, and so when we
when you go into business, we're going in together.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But you would have to be equal money because I'm
not going to trust you to run it. Could you
couldn't even run a storage.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Hey, I can run it. I mean, are you going
to pass on this one?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
No, no, we would be and we could advertise it as
Bobby Bones and Lunchboxes Airbnb. It would be sold out
every day of the week for three hundred and sixty
five days a year.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Oh not a decade. Yeah, I mean, I'm good on
this one.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
We put pictures up from the studio and like an artist,
people would stay in that thing all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Thank you, though, I'm going to pass on that offer.
I appreciate that. Thank you for thinking about me though,
for doing what I could already do.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I want it.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We could do that together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
appreciate that though. Thank you, Lunchbox. Let's move on to Amy.
Creating connections with others is what she wants to be
remembered for, and she's been known to start crying randomly
in the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Here. She has Amy everybody here.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
So my daughter wanted to use one of my old wallets.
Speaker 6 (03:39):
We start cleaning it out and I see all these
gift cards and one of them is to bed Back
and Beyond and I'm like, oh, we actually need some stuff,
so I might as well go use this. It was
for one hundred and two dollars and seventy eight cents
from a while back when I guess I returned something.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
And I could put it on a gift card.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Well, so I go, and I guess they stopped accepting
gift cards.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Oh it died and died on.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
May eighth, they shut off gift cards, and I was like,
but this is actually money on here that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I Yeah, we know gif they do too, but because
they went out of business, I guess they had to
have a date to stop taking gift cards.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
So they're like, yeah, we don't actually have that money anymore.
So so it's just a bummer that I found it. Yeah, probably,
you know a couple of weeks too.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Couldn't know though. If our listeners have bed bathroom beyond
gift cards.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Don't waste your time, because honestly, a bed bath min
is not near me.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You drove I saw that fair by the way that
you you took your daughter soon and it wasn't even
going yet.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's up now, but I drove by and I was like,
that's the fair.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
My son went yeah, yeah, and you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Have one of those rides that goes upside down and
slings you, And I was like, any one one of
those on the side of the highway, no chance, no
chance I'm getting on that on the side of the interstate.
I need that thing to be in a fixed position
for life for me to get in it and know
that it's been there and it's been doing righting for
a long time. I can't prove that the thing works
at all. Anyway, Good job on you for sharing that.
I know that was painful, all right, Raight go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
From Mountain Pine, Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
He's inspired kids to wear glasses to school because being
nerdy is cool.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Bobby Bones.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You look, I can't say what I want to say here,
but I'm gonna say just enough that you maybe can
figure out what I'm saying by me not saying it
because I've been told I can't say it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Okay, so but I have to say it as an update.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
But I can't say it and don't say it after
I don't after I not say it interesting? Okay? What's
my favorite color? Were always gonna say it. You can
say that's that's my favorite color. What do you think
my second favorite color is?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Green. Okay, one of you is right. Okay, I'm gonna
move on from that. Let's say that.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Uh remember the show Highway to Heaven with Michael Landon
kind Okay, John Travolta was in a show and he
wore wings.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I was back Michael, Michael, Now do you have me idea?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Michael was an angel cool now A while ago. I'm
gonna be on touch by an Angel. A while ago.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I talked about something that I said I can't talk about,
and I was like, should I even do this?
Speaker 7 (06:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, but you had you figured it out? Did you
guys already have it figured out?
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I think so. I'm I'm doing it. Like it's confirmed.
I'm doing it. I'm probably going to die doing it.
But it's coming up in a couple of weeks. Oh die,
I'm scared to death.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I know now. I was wrong too. What did you
think it was? Fortune?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I was tires, Tires wheel No, but I got Yeah.
They called me yesterday and they were like, oh wait,
hold on, Yeah, you were wrong. It's not what you
just said.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's not will unfortunate, it's something else where. I was like,
I'm scared to death to do this.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
It's a second favorite color. And that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And and John Travolta played this in a movie.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
So I'm gonna do it. I can't say thing about
it until after I do it. But they called and said,
don't eat. I mean, you can have a small meal,
but don't eat before you do it because you'll vombit
everything up. It's just the whole situation. Are we gonna
know when I can tell you all three? I just
can't say anything about it until after it's over. But
I'm doing it. I'm lett know they know I'm doing it. Okay,
(07:21):
we're all there.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Watch how do we watch?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't think it's paper viewed. Okay, just go do it.
And they have video, okay, okay, so if you know,
if you know, you know, If not, I'll let you
know later. I just want to up their audience.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Have you told your wife?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeez?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Why aren't I answering that? No? Okay, you got to
tell her.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
Du Yeah, Like you might need to get some stuff
in order.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I already have all that in order. On all right, Well,
we're gonna we all want to show here? Wow, started off?
Thank you. It's time to open up the mailbag.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You sendil read all the air to get something.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We call Bobby that. Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
My boss sent on an email trying to make us
all feel like part of the team and is now
encouraging an open door policy where he wants employees to
share our honest thoughts of him and with him. Admittedly,
I'm not the most subtle person in the world, and
I tend to play by the don't ask the question
if you don't want to answer mentality. I've never really
encountered this, but he's asked us all to submit five
(08:23):
suggestions on how we feel about our jobs, the workplace,
the management, including him, and so on. This question goes
out to those who have been through this before. Does
he really want this from me? Or should I just
play nice and continue to get paid signed honest, Abe,
It's tricky if you're not in a situation where you
have a relationship where the boss welcomes this. So my
(08:46):
advice to you is, if you are going to say
something that is not positive that is about him or
something that he influences, you better pad.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
It with some really positive stuff too. But that's not
completely honest.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sure it is if it's true. I just wouldn't throw
all the naggs. I put all those negatives separate. I
hit you with one and put four posites in there.
You know I mean I'm separating it.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
Oh do this ratio five to one.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
They say five positives cancel out the negatives.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So that would be my suggestion if you're going to
do it first, though I wouldn't do it. I would
just be pretty generic and do something where it's like,
I just wish our computer screens were a little brighter,
but let everybody else, like, let them go first and
be chum in the water and see if the shark attacks,
because if he started, if it's the boss, is the
heat right, if he starts getting mad at them and
being offended, and let them go first. Canary and the coal,
(09:37):
my baby, Let's say if I've poison in there, so
you could send a couple of things in there aren't
real like you know, I sure wish when we came
in the morning the coffee would be fresh.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Ooh good, Dorito's and the snack machines stuff like that,
and then still compliment.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But then let's see who he kills first, and if
it's nobody and he really values it, then you can
go hard.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, because what if you really do have feedback?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That would be home everybody does. It may not be helpful,
but everybody's got feedback. But just don't risk yourself. You
make yourself vulnerable offering up all this negative because sometimes
people say, oh, I just want to know what you
how you really feel?
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Like you don't.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
People really don't want to know how you really feel.
Most of the time they say it, but they don't
really want it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I work for a company where they would do anonymous
you know, like this is going to be anonymous, but
tell us some real feedback, and then they would ask
for your name at the end of the sheet.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I'm like, that's not really anonymous.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I guess it means they're not going to publish.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I would that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
That's my advice, honest day. Just take a second, let
everybody else go first. If they come back unscathed, then
you can hop in the water there.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
I mean, we want feedback, right, well.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
We have to have it or we lose our job.
Like we have to have we get ratings, we get research.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But do you want feedback from us?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
From you guys? I do not?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh you know, no, no, I get it from other feedback.
I'm sure you do. I get it from everybody else.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I get from.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Listeners, I get it from research, I get it from ratings.
So no, I'm all good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, well you
have any feedback, give me na, You're give me a piece.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Nobody even knows who's talking. Like your suret, Thank you
very much.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Your hat.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I like your joke even more positive. I like your organization.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Thank you one more.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I like how you can react on the fly.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Go ahead and the one negative. Hit him with a
good one, Amy, I was fired. Okay, you serious?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I would like a show retreat.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
No terrible, No, I think not even retreating, like someone
comes to us.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Retreating segment good enough, like bonding exercise.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
We'll send to you. You come back to us. How
it went. We got your gamemail and laid on the air.
Now let's find the clothes.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Bobby failed.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Damn.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I've talked a couple of times on the show about
that movie Air. Have you seen it not yet? I
thought you sorry.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's about Nike and Jordans and it's great. Is the
only movie I went to the theater to see. It's
on Amazon now you can watch it for free. But Eddie,
you try to watch it.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I just want to know what you liked about it,
because and I'm not saying it's a bad movie. I
just started watching it and I fell asleep like forty
five minutes into it.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Not only did I like it, but I'm looking at
the audience score from Rotten Tomatoes ninety eight percent positive,
and yeah, I mean it's they're all nineties.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Maybe you were exhausted.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I was tired. I'm always tired.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
But I just felt like there was a lot of dialogue,
like a lot of like, oh, man, what are we
gonna do?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Do you need? Bombs? Do you need? I mean, I
haven't seen Jordan yet. Does Jordan come out of this movie?
I don't want to say anything about Can I say
what's up with that? Or no? Mike, Oh don't know, Okay,
just watch it, finish it. I can't believe you fell asleep.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Man, Like he goes to the house and Jordan's in
the house, and I'm like, okay, they're gonna meet and
he never meets Jordan.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's that's the last thing I remember. And then I
don't know. I'm gonna stick to it. But I mean,
you say it's really good. You thought there's a lot
of dialogue. I mean, you didn't lead to it. I
was so tired.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Here's the deal too, Like I'm watching it in my
mind just went to like, oh wow, look it's good
to one hunting.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
But these dudes are like thirty years older. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
So you're blaming me for you not enjoying talking in
a movie, huh, and for you associating with a movie
they did thirty years ago, because I.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Mean every time Matt Damon talked to Ben Affleck, I'm like,
that's crazy man like that.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, yeah, I never thought about that once, oddly really yeah. Oh,
here's why I like it. Sports one.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Two, the history of a product that I use. Three
Phil Knight. You get to see what he's kind of
like for running me.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Ben Affleck's a good actor and not just the guy
who's always said smoking a cigarette dunkin Donuts. Five.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Matt Damon's a great actor. Yeah, he's pretty good. The
return of Chris Tucker from Rush Hour was awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
The history of the scout who used to go to
these high school games to find players, and how not
only did he affect Michael Jordan in this movie, here
and that. But also he's the reason that athlete get
paid now that same guy, wow, because it all started
the video game and a UCLA basketball player, and he
was one of the front ones that was pressing that
case of.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
The Supreme Court. Did you get to that at some point?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Nope, they don't. I'm telling you right now, like I'm
just a all of those elements I love. What about
the dialogue? I think there was enough dialogue. I honestly
I couldn't use more dialogue. Actually, yeah, so it's on
Amazon now, right. Did you try to watch it or no?
I've watched the whole thing. Thoughts it was good. Too
much dialogue. I just felt some stuff was missing. But
(14:31):
it was like what dialogue?
Speaker 6 (14:35):
All in watching this and now I'm like, maybe no
dialogue missing?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
It was good.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It was a strong movie. What's the cartoon?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
The kids cartoon that flashes scenes every two seconds because
it's Coco Melon. Eddie needs Coco Melon a movie because
he cannot stay dialed in.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I will not watch Coco Melon. Now.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Don't give me a fake rating on it, because I
don't want you acting now. Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Probably will like it.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, here's the I don't want to give a and
I haven't finished finished four and a half.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
That's an amazing movie, but you act to like you didn't.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, it's it's so good that I would watch it again.
But my five is my personal five. I'm just saying
it's a four. It's all our five are our personal five.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Five. We're not on a scale that were held accountable to.
I'm saying it's a really good movie.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It could have been a five, just just missing bigger moments.
I wish you would confetti, huge song, too much dialogue, right,
no competti, more explosions and Scottie Pippen.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I didn't see any chance for confetti. I didn't see
any opportunities for that.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Oh I saw a really good Scottie Pippen quote, but
it was on social media.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
I hate Michael Jordan. I didn't get.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
I'm gonna say it now because I'm gonna I'm paraphraser,
but it's like, hey, you may have to wait ten
years to get to that one year.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
It's going to totally change your life something like that.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, I remember, I thought that man to wait ten
years to get paid the money that you deserve.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Because Michael Jordan hates me is that it No, but I.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Just thought, wow, okay, that's a good thing.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Like, hey, I'm looking at all the Scotty Pippin quotes.
It's not on there.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
No, Maybe Scotty Piper said, sometimes the player's greatest challenge
is coming to grips with his role on the team,
maybe by some other Sometimes there's that one again.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Once you get a taste of success, it's a hard
thing to turn down. That's good. Sure it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Pippin's ex wife on Real Housewives.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Larsa Larsa, She's dating Jordan's son. That's crazy. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Michael, Scotty's ex wife is dating Michael Jordan's son.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Like that's a slap on the face. Yeah, you know
he's doing that because he didn't get paid. That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Is my Jordan Hilda against it to him? Okay, look
we said it all. I don't even know when we
started this bit. Eddie finished the movie, Amy, you haven't
watched it yet, okay.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Scottie Pippen posted this on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Sometimes it takes ten years to get thought.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
He ride it like that day, dude, you like it's
a famous that I.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Should know it.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Sometimes it takes ten years to get that one year
that'll change your life.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Don't give up.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Did he say it or do you post somebody else
saying it?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Okay, he didn't say it. He just posted a meme
of somebody else if he were to put wow.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So if I post like George Washington saying something, can
I go look at my quote?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like look what I said? Yeah? Try it? Okay.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I just went to his instagram.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
And you know how when you don't look at somebody
for a while, because like, I just see him as
the young basketball player, like he's.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
You say him as the young BASKETBA player.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
That's the only time I see him.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Is he's older. Now yeah, a few years, he's like fifty.
And he was rude to me.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
No, yes, yes, yeah, but you're aggressive with celebrities.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So that was twelve, I know. Can you imagine you
at twelve? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
That's the only reason though, I can't get on board
with Scottie Pippen was totally rude to you because of
how you run up and scare people.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Now well, I mean I did run up to him
with it. I mean I saw him at a mall
in Chicago. I ran in the store bought the exact
same hat he was wearing. Ran up to him as
he's walking towards the food court and I said, and
he's with one other guy. And I said, mister Pippin,
can I have your autograph?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Mister Pippin, it just doesn't it doesn't seem like you
hate lunch. Like I had a walker and I walked down.
I was like, mister pipp All, I need is one
autographed to save my life.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And he looked down at me without breaking stride. No,
kept on walking. Who if that is as you said accurate,
he can call my aunt Mary, she was there. Get
his aunt Mary on the phone. Call her up.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
She's the one that had to go back in the
store and yell, it's a store clerk to give me
my money back because the clerk wasn't to give you
my money back for the hat.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
If that's a true story, that stinks it. Scotty Pippin.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
However, you have a lot of strikes against you in
running up to celebrities.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, it started young, twelve years old. Everyboe they said,
don't touch Gwen Stefani. I put my arm around her
to take a picture and said no touching.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Sometimes takes ten years to get to that spot in
the fox heard that before.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, all right, go watch air Amy.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Let us know it's time for the good news.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
This man buys an engagement ring and his suit to
be step son accidentally flushes it down.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
The toilet like a kid, just like putting stuff in
the toilet.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
So he hired someone to run a camera down the
plumbing and they were actually able to spot it, but
there really was no way to get it. I mean,
city maintenance workers were involved.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
They were they had their eye out for it. Let's
just say that.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
Fourteen months later they spotted and they're like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
There's the ring.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
So it went through a thorough sterilization process and has
been returned probably.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Not really like bill a don dishwashing liquid clean. Who
cares you got your ring back?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Yeah, that's gonna be How do you not get It's like.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Being upset at my dog if he eats a pin
or he chews up a twenty dollars bill.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He doesn't know. It's probably like the kid and then
bringing the toilet. I mean, my four year old.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
He ruined PlayStation controllers, remote controls all in the toilet,
I mean dozens.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Is that like when a dog digs a hole puts
the stuff in there? Is that what he would do?
We'd go to the toilet put stuff in there.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I thought it was really cool that you just put
it down a hole and you never see it again.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
That is kind of cool though, because I don't really
know where it goes. Well, that's a good story. He
got it. But would she want to wear the ring
when it's been in the sewer? Or do you sell
it back, get the money and buy another ring?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
It says again, thorough, hear you.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But does she go you know, I know.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
You were going to use this, but then when you
sell it, do you have to disclose.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
All in the house?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You'll sell the ring? You said it thorough thorough. All right,
great story, that's what it's all about. That was telling
me something good. Here's a new game I just made
up called Shady or Not Shady, where each member of
the show that has one of these situations will give
it to us and we'll tell you if you're a
shady person or not.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Okay, I like it. Okay, let's go over to Let's
go to Eddie first. Okay, Eddie Shady not shady. What's
your story.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Okay, so last weekend, my kids wanted to go see
Fast and Furious, so they bought tickets to go to
the movie. They spent about ten minutes fifty minutes in there,
and apparently there was blood, there was a lot of
there was like a little sexy scene, and so they're like,
we can't watch this, so they walk out.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The kids said that.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
So it was my fifteen year old and my two
next kids, the nine and the eight year old, and
so they're like, we can't watch this. So they walk
out and they're like as they're going to the front,
they're like, hey, check it out. There's Gardens of Galaxy
you just started. So they walk right into Guardenings of
a Galaxy. And I'm like, that's great. That's what you're
supposed to do. Back in the day, I used to
just like go from a movie to another movie to
another movie.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Like for five hours, I've watched three movies. So I said,
that's great. Whatever you did was perfectly fine. Shady not shady.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
But what I'm saying, listen, I'm torn because they left
a movie. It's not like they stayed and watched the
entire thing. Had they done that shady, but they just
did a little switch, so not shady, not shade, as
long as they didn't get the full other movie.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Now here's kind of the economics of a movie theater
work for the most part, and I can bring a movie,
Mike and on this. When you buy a ticket to
the movie, really the movie companies getting that, not the theater,
not the local building you're in. What they sell is
the stuff that you buy, the food, that popcorn. That's
why they don't want you sneaking stuff in, because that's
the only way they make money.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
They making it off the movie.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
They're making their money off of the video games, the popcorn,
the Joe gannots, Yeah, the candy.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I don't even know what those are anymore, milk goods.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
So if you were to bounce to every movie, they
ain't really losing any money, gotcha?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Is it a little dishonest? Sure, but not this situation.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I think because you didn't watch the movie and you
paid for a movie, it'd been the same price probably
to go to this one.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
That's what I'm talking about. I'm gonna go not shady.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Come on, now, we'd probably have a different discussion if
it was after the movie. But even then the movie
wasn't sold out. You could convince me since no one's
actually have a movie. Money taken from the mix up
the big company, even though it's probably not right.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I wonder if they would have gone on the front
and told them like, hey, we've been in there for
fifteen twenty minutes, we want to go.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
If I would have said, you can go to other movie,
well then I'm gonna go. Not shady, Eddie, not shady.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
All right, let's go around there, let's box your up.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
So this weekend, this past weekend, we went to Oklahoma
City for a wedding, and I have a one year
old and we didn't have a bed for him to
sleep in because he rolls around, so he sleeps in
a crib. We didn't want to lug a pack and
Play all the way to Oklahoma City, onto the airplane,
through the airports.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
All that explain a pack and play to me.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
It's just a portable basically crib. It's a pop up
like crib. It has four sides on its boom, comes
in a little case, really easy boom. So I went
to the local store, big box store. You have him
in every city.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Good let the guy say, I was gonna say, I'm
not made yet.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I like to wait as a jar till all the
evidence is out.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
When we arrived in Oklahoma City, I stopped by, went
to the kids section, bought one, paid for it, went
to the Airbnb.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Popped it out. Kids slept in it for nighttime naps.
It was awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Kids slept great, used blankets in it, and then packed
it up, put it in the box boom. On the
way back to the airport, stopped into that saying big
box store and returned it. Shady or not shady?
Speaker 9 (24:06):
That's shadycause you used a product without giving them anything
for their and that things I gonna sell for the
same price.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Now you actually took value from it. Oh yeah, I
decided I didn't want it anymore. No, you did it.
You knew you were.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Taking it back, went in with the intent to borrow
it for a night.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I think if you took it back because it's something's
wrong with it or is the wrong side, then I
would go not shady. But you did it with all
intentions of taking it, buying it, returning it, using it,
but not actually paying for any part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, I basically rented it. They didn't. You didn't rent
it because they didn't make any money off the rental.
You didn't pay anything, you know, But it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Was like rental and it was like, oh, you know
if you return it within three days.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's like a car if you buy it and you
get like two weeks. No, No, it's a rental car. You
have to pay for a rental car. It's not like
money on it. A rental car, you have to pay
for it to rent it. Correct this one, you got
your money back. I didn't get my money back. And
they said, oh, you just want to back on the car. Yeah,
thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, that's shady. I don't think anybody would disagree with that. Shady.
Shady to buy something with the intent of you're gonna
go use the product and then take it back.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Now taking intent out though, what's the difference? Your heart?
That's it. It's like people that wear a shirt.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
What's shady. Shady is your heart.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Sometimes you may do bad stuff and it may be
on accident, but it.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Didn't mean that.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's not a shady thing to do. It's an accident
that sucks it worked out there.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's shady.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But like with my story, you wanted to say, like, well,
this is how the movies make money, and so since
there was no money lost, it's not shady.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Well they lost money. They didn't lose money. They did
loose money.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
They can't sell it back at the same price.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
They can't know they can't return now there's gonna be
tape on it. It's used.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
They're gonna send it over to one of these stores
where they sell it for much cheaper because it's been returned.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
So really, I did someone a favor that maybe they
can't afford it full price cheap.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You're the robin Hood of playpens. Actually I did something good.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Eddy, not shady lunchbock shady I'm talking about that's it.
Court is dismissed. Was this court shady court?
Speaker 5 (26:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Shady course, shady cord call it in session. We don't
do this a lot, but I'm just gonna ask you.
How's divorce life?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Amy? Wait? Why'd you go?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh? We don't do it a lot, but sometimes I
just want to check in. She announced it. It's free
to talk about so big d don't mean Dallas.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
How's it going? Well?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I have been proud how we've handled the whole thing
all along.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Means we have our moments.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
But I had to go by Ben's lawyer's office and
someone that worked there said to me, and I'm pretty
sure she told him the same thing, that like, y'all
should teach a class on how to get divorced, because
we've never seen anything like.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
This in what way good or bad?
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Good that you know, we've just remained thoughtful and kind
or respectful and kind, which has been our motto the
whole time, and we've been able to work together and
come to agreements quite honestly that our lawyers completely don't support.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Wait, so you guys, as the people that you've hired
to give ex ra opinions, you guys have said we're
going to do it a different way. Yes, and they
could be good, and they really.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Could be great.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
I think, yes, I know it's going to be good
like I have been. We've also just.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Been together, open to creative solutions and brainstorming.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
I get it.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
As lawyers, like it's your job to protect your client,
and so I think both of us have heard multiple times. Okay,
I'll write this up for you, but just so you know,
it is my duty to tell you that I completely.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
Disagree with this.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
But also at the same time, they're like, Wow, we've
done handled a lot of different breakups and this is
by far like the most amicable.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
One they've seen.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
And I just I can pop us on ourselves on
the back, and I want to celebrate things like that.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
It's not a not like.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
A brain moment, but more so that I'm celebrating the
fact that we've done something really hard and we navigated
it as well as we possibly could. And I don't
take that for granted, knowing that some people are not
in a similar situation. One person might be willing to
operate this way and then the other person is not.
So I do have gratitude for the fact that we're
(28:21):
both have done a lot of work and are on
a path of continued work and healing. And I think
that that's brought us to a place where we can,
you know, make decisions that completely throw our lawyers off.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So divorce has been pretty good.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
I don't know what you mean by good.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
I don't know that there's really anything good about it.
I don't recommend it, but I share this as hope
for anybody else that you know.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
What would you call your class, I'd have to talk.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I don't know I talked a bit about it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
I advise that you're turning that.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Let's see, I don't know how to do something. And listen,
we've had our moments.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Don't get me wrong, but but I would say in
we have a quick turnaround, you know, it doesn't linger.
It's more so like in the next thirty minutes, one
of us is saying, oh, okay, good step back, well
good all seriousness.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
That's great because there are other people involved.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Oh, I know, I hear from them, and so are
the kids.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Oh yes, he hears from them too. I hope you
hear from them.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Well, that is our number one.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Prioritiz what I'm saying. That's why it's great.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Other listeners I've heard, and I know that people are like, yeah,
I know people are going through something similar. They may
be starting the process, and I just want to share
this as hope.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I like it. All jokes aside. That's great, right, That
is hope for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
In words, they're on the very very front side of it,
which I know when you were it was not a good.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Time for you.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
No, but celebrate or selfishly me right, yeah, or you
but celebrate every win. And I think that will lead
you to more wins, and don't Also, just because your
lawyer says something, I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
That.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I'm just saying you should listen to it.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
You should, and then you can make your own decision.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm okay with that. But most times, listen to the lawyer
because they know a lot. Yeah, because they just been
doing it a lot. Everyone.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
I know we still have TVD some of the scarback car.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
All right, let's play great. I'm glad to hear it. Seriously,
thank you. Voicemail from Annie in Pennsylvania. Here we go.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
I have a joke from warning Corny. What do you
call a man with nobody and no knows? Nobody knows?
And for fun fact, Friday, did you know if we were
one close, what even like one even inch closer to
the sun, you would all die from being burned, And
(30:43):
if we were one inch closer to the moon, we
would all die from being cold. That's my fun stuck
Friday and my moving Corny. Bye.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Thank you. I'm not even gonna fact check it because
it's so interesting. Well, it's pretty cool. I started with
all facts interesting, don't need a fact check it.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Great job, Thank you, Annie call Us anytime leaves a
voicemail A seven seven seventy seven.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Bobby Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 6 (31:06):
There's a trend happening on TikTok right now and it's
gonna help women feel better in their high heels. And
I had no idea this is the thing, and I
can't wait to try it out and see if it works.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
It's got ten million views. And what you do is.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
You tape your third and fourth toes together, and it
releases pressure and makes wearing high heels more comfortable.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Is it because that third and fourth toe all the
pressure goes down into that spot.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I've never worn high heels good.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, so I don't really know. So explain to me
why they think that help.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
It's a hack from a shoe company and they're saying
this is legit going to bring comfort when you wear it.
It's the nerve that controls the most pain comes between
the third and the fourth toes, so when you bring
them together, it releases the pressure. The person that works
with the company that posted it said that their aunt
taught on that and it's good to go.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
You can use a.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Band aid or any other kind of like tape.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
The would be easy to remove.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Why not tape all three of the toast together, the pinky, the.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Third and the fourth.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
I don't know that that's necessary because.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'm not taking between foot ankle all the way down
like the NFL players.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Why did they do that?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Why did they tape it all the way down into
their foot so they don't bend in?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Like that's like cool? Yeah? Yeah, mostly for that? Yeah,
all right? What else?
Speaker 6 (32:24):
A dad spent twenty one one thousand dollars for last
minute Taylor's Craft tickets.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Okay, so I did see this.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I think they're rich though, because didn't they buy other
tickets for like twenty thousand bucks too.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
No, his first round of tickets were eighteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
One I thought it was eighteen thousand.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
No, eighteen hundred, and then I guess with stub hub,
you don't get the tickets delivered till the day of
or the sent to you.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
And then he was like, oh, I never got.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Them eighteen hundred.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Let me say a lot of them were happening, but okay,
so he never got the tickets.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
And his daughter with her friends, they were expecting to go.
Oh they were the Christmas present, like, so he's thinking
way ahead. And then the tickets never showed up, and
he was pretty determined, so he had to go to
some other seller and bought them for twenty one thousand dollars. However,
stub hub is supposed to refund his original price, which
(33:18):
will offset some of the expense, but.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Not even two thousands, so he still pay nineteen thousand
dollars for tickets.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Go to the go to the venue. You can probably
get some for fun.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
It's still expensive, but in front of somebody's scalping tickets,
they won't be as good as seats.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
But there is no way, no way, even if I
have the money.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Well, if I have the money, who knows. It's all relative,
but I'm talking about normal folks.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
No way. You're talking about a car. Did this guy
say it was worth a twenty thousand? In the story?
Like it was totally.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Worth As a dad, he.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Said, expectations met dad.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
You know he didn't want his daughter to be disappointed. Holley,
what's the craziest thing your parents ever did for you?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Well, I played my biology. I played hide and seek with
me when I was like, oh, and he rocks. I
think he's a chap never found him. Ntil I was like,
over thirty, he's good. Yeah, yeah, he was in here somewhere.
Oh yeah, awesome. I just didn't know how hard that
game was. And for a lot of my life, I
just looked and looked and looked, and I was like, dad, Daddy,
(34:28):
never found him. And then I even said stuff like Marco,
hoping he'd go polo and then we'd hug and be like, oh,
how fun is this?
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Never he was so good at hide and seek.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
So when you found him, it's really awkward.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
He'd been at the same place thirty years. Hide mind
a tree. I just didn't look behind that tree.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Oh woish you clarify that in case someone's just listening
for the first time.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
I won't. He said what he said, I said what
I said. He was man a tree for thirty years.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Well, jelly Roll is a very present father, as.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
He posted him teaching his daughter Baileyanne, how to drive,
And as a parent, I can relate to this because
he was, you know, kind of using some language like
oh my god, you know, like very colorful words, and
I thought that's I was recently driving with my sixteen
year old and both me and her dad. We've both
(35:21):
done it where it was like a bad word has
slipped out while she's on the highway.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
It's just like that's the.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Scariest space to be, Like, I need a map of
all the back roads and how to get there because
I just don't think I want her on the highway.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Stars are just like us.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, yeah, just like you. Why in the world would
you ask any of us a question is open? And
it is and you look at me like, what did
your parent ever do?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
The surprise to you? Like you know where that's going?
Speaker 6 (35:44):
I think I probably knew where you might take it,
but and it was you.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Knew what it thought of that or I'd just be
quiet because I didn't have it. I don't have an answer.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
They maybe your grandma maybe did something nice for you, say.
Speaker 5 (35:57):
Grandma, but she was pretty much a mom to you, But.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
You said parent. Maybe I'm okay, she adopted me.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
That is huge.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
What a surprise that was when I found out way
later because I didn't know it was a kid, because
she did that just so she had legal custody.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I mean, when my mom left any more stories in there, Amy,
I was like going as good as I didn't bring
this up.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
It added a little depth.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, you know, I could be a little shallow. I'll
be honest with you. You know, a little too much
depth sometimes.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
All right, that Amy, that's my pile.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
That was Amy's pile of stories.
Speaker 7 (36:31):
It's time for the good news, Bobby.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Detroit traffic officer Lenda Edge received a well financial boost
when a TikTok influencer highlighted her monetary struggles to his
sixteen million followers.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
That's a lot of followers.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
So what he did first is he gave her five
hundred bucks and a trip to a Detroit Tiger's baseball
game because she loved baseball, and so boom, thank you
for doing what you do.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Here's this posted on social media.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
The video got to over ten million people and people
started watching going, hey, we'd like to actually give her
a little bit more because we're moved by what she
does and her story, which he shared. The campaign, which
wasn't even supposed to be a campaign, just kind of
organically happened, raised over fifty four thousand dollars within three days,
and it happened so quickly that they were able to
give her that check at the baseball stadium, and she
(37:24):
didn't know what was coming, so she went to the
game to experience that they give her. They get her
down there, they give her a check in fifty grand Wow, boy,
that's why. Like, you're doing your job and you don't
even know somebody's recording you, and you're thinking, what kind
of shenanigans are they up to? But they give you
fifty bucks or a five hundred bucks and that's awesome.
You're like, I just had the greatest day of her
five hundred bucks and take you to a baseball game
and then you go in, they're like, Lenita Urge, come
(37:45):
down to first base. They give her fifty thousand dollars.
So pretty cool. It's viral kindness. I mean, what he
did was cool, but then what everybody else did because
they were removed, is awesome.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
That's what it's all about. Right there, that was telling
me something good.
