Speaker 4 (00:11):
Welcome to Tuesday Show Morning Studio Morning. All right, let's
go around the room and check in with everybody. He
spends his weekends going from game to game with his
four boys and golfing in his spare time is something
he enjoys.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's producer Eddie.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
So do you guys remember last year I went on
a digital dtox. I did it for about a month
where I did no social media.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
I did sort of.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
You were on the show on social media all day. Well, right,
because I toasted for work. I had to. You know,
it has to do for work.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
I wasn't.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
That's not a real detox right here. You Well, anyway,
that's why I did last year. It was great. I'm
glad I did it it, like really detox my uh,
I don't know my sensories.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, because you got to do it all day. Yeah yeah, no,
that's fine.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
But but anyway, so this year, I said, I'm not
doing that anymore.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I'm gonna do something different. Okay.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
I turned my phone into gray scale. So it's all great.
And the reason I'm doing this is to make my
phone dull, like there's no vibrant colors. I look at
it phones, it's impossible to even find an app. So
I'm trying to limit my screen time by making it dull.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Scale.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Amy it just takes away the color like it like
it makes it less interesting because our brains are drawn
to certain things on there, and so this will help him.
The phone is now less desirable.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
So bones say, like, I'm on my phone, I'm on TikTok.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
Right, everything's black and white, everything, the videos, even the videos.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Even when I take a picture, it's black and white.

Speaker 4 (01:29):
Oh that's so basically, you're in a time machine you
went to when they made your favorite movies in the
nineteen forty.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
There's no way to.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Take it out lunch. So anyway, so I put this on.
Take a picture, it's black and white. There's Morgan Boom,
but it's a real color picture. I only see it
black and white. So when I when I take my
eyes off the phone and look at the world, it's beautiful,
it's vibrant, and I'm like, I'd rather be in the
world than on my phone.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So yours is It's not that the chemicals in your
brain are affected by what they've developed in these social
media apps of sounds, and but it's the juxtaposition of gray,
crappy versus world lovely correct right beside each other, correct,
black and white boring the world beautiful color.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
And what all the movies you like? Why are they
all black and white?

Speaker 7 (02:10):
Men?

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Well, that's because it takes me back to a different time.
If you weren't alive in that time, I know, I know,
I wish I was. We're gonna review one of Eddi's
movies coming up in a little bit.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Question how long are we doing this great thing?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I'm gonna do it for the month.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, this is now we know. Now you're going to
be more addicted to your phone. You like to go
back in time.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Your phone is going to be an era you weren't
even living here.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Think about that. I never even heard of grey scale.
Is it a feature? Yeah, I'll turn your phone to it.
That's okay.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I already lived kind of gray scale. I'm kind of
color line, so just to sort of gray scale.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
We first heard about it, Eddie, remember from church. They
were encouraging it. Yeah, to like, so be off your phones.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
He is running out of time to sell the items
we got from the palette. And if we did a
poll on worst investment deals. This will be top of
the ballot. Here's much bottle.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
I'm gonna go back in time, guys.

Speaker 8 (02:59):
In November, we started talking randomly on the show about
this dog cough that is taking over the world where
doctors didn't know how to treat it vets, where like
all these dogs are getting it. And I was like, oh,
my gosh, that's what my dog has. And you guys
made fun of me.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
We didn't make fun of you about your dog being sick.
That did not happen at all.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
You're like, it.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Doesn't your dog doesn't have this.

Speaker 8 (03:17):
And I played you clips and I was like, listen,
this is what my dog just started doing. And I
don't know what it is. Guys. It is two months later.
I've been to three different vets and my dog still
has the cough, still hacking.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
They can't figure out what it is.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
Can't figure it out.

Speaker 8 (03:31):
We've taken so many X rays and sent them off
to a like X ray specialists and tell you this, antibiotic, this, antibiotic.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
This, this, and this, what does it get? Anibiotic?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Okay, you said that, right, Okay, that's what I said.
Antibiotic whatever antibiotic.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
We've done all sorts of things.

Speaker 8 (03:49):
The next thing on the table is they want to
put my dog under, insert some fluid into his lungs
and suck it out and culture it to see if
there's some bacteria that they're missing. But I mean, my
dog is fourteen, so putting him under is it also.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
Just could be he's getting old.

Speaker 8 (04:08):
Yeah, but man, we have been battling so yeah, I mean,
everybody's been asking still coughing.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Were to hear that we never made fun of his dog,
for everybody listening out there, not one time we make
fun of his dog.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Never.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
Oh you guys right, he doesn't have that.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
And I said, guys, it was out of nowhere, and
I started playing the clips and you guys, you were like,
we don't need to hear that.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
We don't need to hear that.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
What happened is you always say you have everything or
you're being affected by everything, and we said, I don't.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Know if that's true.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
And then you brought it in and we're like, wow,
you may have that.

Speaker 6 (04:42):
What is that I'm playing my dog?

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Guys, there's nothing on there.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
There was Okay, guys, didn't here next one?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
All right? Moving on?

Speaker 4 (04:51):
She hosts the Woman of iHeart Country Show and if
you want to listen, the iHeartRadio app is where you go.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Here's Amy.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
So my Gmail is so full that I got this
note of vocation that I can now buy more storage for.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Just or you can delete all the emails that are
in there.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
But what if I delete something that I need to
go back to. That's why you don't need it.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'm deleted his whole account. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
There's no way I'm going to do that.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
You don't need anything in there?

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Okay, well my last time you needed something from it.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Sometimes I go back and look at emails from way
back my mom.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I have emails from my mom. I'm not dating those.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Specific ones you want.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
That's different.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
You save these, yes, but don't not delete it because
you may need to go back to it for some reason.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
That's called being a hoarder.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Okay, well, I'm a digital order.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Are you going to buy more space? Why don't you just.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Use one dollar ninety nine cents a month for a
year hundred GB's gigodbytes.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
I would delete stuff.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Do the thing where you can do size or hit
the button and it brings all the biggest ones first
with all the paper clubs on it.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Wait, we can do that.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, you can manage your storage leading all the big
ones first that you don't need.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
I didn't know you could do it, buy size. Yes,
I think this is good news. This is good news.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
Okay, Ray go ahead from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a
big Jersey guy. And today it's the packers. I spy
Bobby Bumms. So here's the thing. On Saturday night of
this week, I got big news. On Saturday night, I.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Got big moves, big moves. I'm gonna be staying at
the sleep Place on Saturday.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Oh wow, you sleep in the sleep center with cameras
all on me on Saturday night. They apparently really only
have you do it on Saturdays and Sundays. Where you
sleep there, they were, I guess making exceptions occasionally. I
really don't want to sleep there and then come do
the show. So on Saturday night of this week, I
will be spending the night in a room that looks

(06:42):
kind of like a hotel bedroom, but there are cameras
on the walls all around, and they're gonna hook me
up and tape me up and try to figure out
what's wrong with me.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
When I sleep.

Speaker 4 (06:55):
I don't know if the rules are do what you
normally do right now, because I've always doing that recently,
so I probably won't.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
I would think that you.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Need because it's so new.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
You need to be in.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Your purest form, like you probably can't take anything no magnesium.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
So I'm going to go and sleep and have them
watch me and we'll pay per view it.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Oh yeah, are you alloud to have your computer and stuff?

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Like?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
How do you I don't know any rules yet.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
I just got to email a minute ago, going to
see you on Saturday night, But I'm sure you don't
go in and you're just isolated of the world.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Yeah, I wonder if you can go in and play
video games for a little bit and then slowly go
to sleep or do you just go in all right
time to go to sleep?

Speaker 6 (07:31):
Do you show up at like nine pm, like when
it's your bedtime?

Speaker 3 (07:33):
I do show up at eight pm?

Speaker 6 (07:35):
Okay, so you got to eat before you get there.
They have snacks.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Are you locked in the room and are there other
people in the other room?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
There for sure are because if they only do it
a couple of nights, what if I get lonely?

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Do you hey, can you hear me.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
You're in there trying to sleep.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Man, I'm just scared. Anyway, I'm doing that Saturday night,
so big news.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Let's open up the mailbagil he.

Speaker 9 (08:00):
Did on the air.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
If you get something, we call Bobby's mail bag. Yeah,
hello Bobby Bones.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Yesterday, my seventeen year old son told me he wants
to drop out of high school. Most parents, what do
you consider this? With my son, it's a bit more complicated.
He's been coding for more than ten years. He makes
as much money as I do. He's incredibly responsible. He
laid out what he plans to do with his time
on al. He'll save his money on when he'll be working,
when he would be going to school. I'm running out

(08:25):
of good reasons to tell him no, What do you think?
Should I let him do what he thinks is best?
Signed mom of a tech whiz. Well, he's seventeen. He's
probably so close.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
He's so close.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
And I get, hey, he's making a ton of money,
and maybe if he's making that kind of money at fifteen,
but he's so close.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
It's like, son, you're right.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
You could quit high school, do this, and you have
something the rest of your life and never look back
and you're all good because it literally could happen even
with college, right.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
College not for everybody. College not for everybody.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
But it's like, you're so close, just finished, because then
at least you'll just have it for no other reason.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
All that work is not.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Like in vain, if you're if you're so close, just finished,
if you're one credit, three credits short of your college
degree lunchbox, oh, which is different than high school.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
But you are, but you're so close.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
It's not even about what it can get you the degree,
it's that you've almost finished.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
You might as well school across the finish.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Line accomplishing that check.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
But I do understand if he's like, hey, this is
what I'm gonna do my whole life.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I want to do it.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
You can also get an equivalency later too, if he
does quit like a gd OK.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, And as a parent, I have to. My kid
has to go to school. It's the law. I mean,
I get he's seventeen, but.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
He's going seventeen though I think sixteen, right, And it's
what state you're in.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Oh, I didn't know there's a law about that.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yeah, because if I don't think it's a federal law,
and you can check me on this. But I know
when I grew up and where I grew up. You
could be sixteen to quit school and go to work.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (10:05):
Yeah, but Eddie, if you're like twelve year old just
stopped going to school, you get arrested for it.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Yeah, you're the truancy parent. Okay, I'll make sure my
twelve year old stays in school.

Speaker 7 (10:12):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I was working on in project with a guy recently.
He's twenty one. He just dropped out of college. He's
been coding since he was thirteen. He tried to give
the whole college thing a chance, but he's just making
too much money. You're always like I'm done with this.
And now he has a full time job.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
In the state war And now you can drop out
if you're seventeen, if you have your parents' permission.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Wow, there you go.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Or you can drop out when you're eighteen without your parents'
permission if you haven't finished school yet. But you can
drop out of seventeen with your parents permission. I would
have the conversation. You're a smart, logical person. I know
you don't need high school, and you're crushing it. You're
making more than me, can I have a loan? All
this stuff that you would ask would be like, you're
so close, would you just finish for me?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
As a favorite to me? And then if he still
says no, then you kind of have to respect it.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Then ground him.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
He's seventeen, he's gonna hack you.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Over. If he's coding, he's gonna But I think that
is a difficult situation and there is not a one
size fits off or.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Something like this.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
But wow, is apparent to know that at that age
your kid already has it figured out. Very cool, because
sometimes I wonder what what are they going to do?
You know, like how long are they going to live
at home? And are they going to be able to
support themselves?

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Legit concerned? You were doing the show, not therapy. I
don't know if you're confused. All right, that's the nail bag.
Close it up.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
We got your game mail and we ran in on
your air.

Speaker 9 (11:30):
Now let's find the clothes Bobby's mail.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Dig Damn. I want to talk to Jake, who lives
in Pittsburgh. Hey, Jake, what's up, buddy?

Speaker 9 (11:40):
How's it going morning? Studio morning?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
What's up dude? Hey?

Speaker 9 (11:44):
I have a story for lunch. Here I'm back in
August on bring the Trailer. Auctions in six Ultima with
zero miles sold for three million dollars.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Oh wow, for zero zero miles? Though, Yeah, how do
you keep a car without? I wonder what happened? Why
did they keep it?

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Because sometimes somebody will buy like a iPod version one,
or a Nintendo game, or like my Arkansas cheerleader Barbie.
It's just weird that I have back here. But if
you keep it on open, apparently they're worth more. Why
would someone have a car and never drive it.

Speaker 9 (12:19):
I have no idea, but maybe watch car is worth
more than any things.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
But no, no, no, maybe if you drive it where it
gets to nine, it goes back over to zero.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Okay, Paris Bueller, go in reverse?

Speaker 6 (12:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (12:32):
I was about to say I need to go in
reverse and get it back to zero. That would take
a long time.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
What if you signed your car really big on the
door then auctioned it off?

Speaker 6 (12:42):
Well I kind of like that. It's kind of a
good idea. The highest bedder, anybody will buy it.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
How many miles your car have?

Speaker 6 (12:50):
Two hundred and sixteen thousand, like three hundred and something.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
What's best case scenario? Before you have to best case
before you have to get another car.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Oh man, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Can you go all twenty four? I mean I highly
doubt it.

Speaker 8 (13:02):
The fact that the chech engine line has been on
for two and a half months and they told me
I need a new engine and half the time it
doesn't start.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
I doubt it. I mean if I made it to May,
I'd be extinct.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
I mean when I took it to a repair shop
last year, the guy told me, he's like, look, man,
I can help you get a car. Like, I don't
want to see you to keep putting money in this thing.
He's like, what's your budget? And he started looking for
used car like he felt so bad he.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Was doing to tell me something good for you.

Speaker 8 (13:30):
Yes, And he was just like, I can't let you
put money back into this thing.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
So how much would you take it? Honestly?

Speaker 4 (13:37):
How much money would you take if someone said I
will give you fifty bucks?

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Oh no, no, it's just an example of a number
you wouldn't take.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
But realistically, if someone said I will give you this much,
how much to the car? I don't want to put
a price on her, but I got too because they're
not giving you much didn't you try to take it
in and ll.

Speaker 8 (13:57):
You know, I Kelly blue booked online and it was
too fifty two hundred, two hundred, fifty thousand, one hundred
and fifty dollars.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
Like literally two hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, So what would you take if someone said I
will give you blank.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Three thousand.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Oh there's no chance. Okay, So then you'll never make
a penny?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Well no, no, you just said, well, yeah, one million.
I'm saying, what's the lowest you would take?

Speaker 2 (14:22):
What were you gonna say? You just said, I'll sign it.
Your signature is worth that much?

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, okay, someone I gave five hundred dollars for the car,
No chance, I mean five hundred dollars does nothing for me.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Let's slap in the face.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, like the tires. I mean, I don't know if
the tires are worth five hundred.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Dollars, but they're obviously not because they have to be something.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
Worth five hundred dollars in there, right.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
I don't know fifty dollars in cash hidden in the
compartment somewhere.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
Oh no, I don't.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Okay, Well, Jake, we appreciate that lunchbox is still hanging
on and it hasn't died.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Coming to work.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
No, do you take back roads just in case it
does die? Or do you get on the interstate?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (14:58):
No, I don't. I mean an interstate real quick.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
And then oh, I didn't know you shipped. Well that
makes all the difference in the world. All right, Jake,
appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
I'm sure we'll let you know whenever he decides to
finally get a new car.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
It's time for the good news.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Amber works for Alaskan Airlines and she's on a flight
and all of a sudden, this call button goes off.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
She goes over, Can I help you, sir?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Well, this guy's a zoo official and he's transporting six
flamingo eggs and the incubator stopped working.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
So are they with him? Are they back in like baggage?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
They're with him.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
They didn't stop him going through. That's weird.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Uh. So she springs into action.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
She goes over and fills up rubber gloves with warm
water and lays it on top of the eggs. And
then other passengers started offering up their coat and scarves
to you to pile on top for extra insulation. And
then you know, the the eggs. They departed. When they
landed got off the plane, but she had no idea
if what they did was gonna work. Well, a few
months later she got a phone call, would you like

(16:01):
to fly out to the zoo and meet the flamingos
that you helped save? So shook her granddaughter and they
went to the zoo and they saw the flamingos.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
That's pretty cool. That was really cool. That's pretty cool
people just to give their stuff up to They kind
of warm up the eggs.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
They were transporting them from the zoo in Atlanta to
a zoo in Seattle.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
She said, dogs and pooped on that American Airlines spot
or whatever.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Yeah, freaking out, like on the seat, like yeah, just
pick it up.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
It stinks.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
I mean both both. It smells, but I mean, okay
it up. It's a dog, but also it does stink.
It's just a whole. It turned into a whole, a
whole in the air, just fighting each other.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
So all six were born the Flamingos, and her granddaughter's
name is Sonny. So the zoo went ahead and named
one of the flamingos Sonny.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I'm glad you brought it back. After the dog pick story.
That's what it's all about.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
That was telling me something good.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
We're gonna protect the identity of the person that we're
talking about here, but Amy, I'm gonna come over to you.
So let's just say we'll just say a girl. We're
not saying if it's a girl or a guy. Let's
just say a girl that you know this happened to
with her pay Okay, so we know who it is.
We're going to switch up some of the facts, but
this is a true story.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
She received an email from accounting at her company and
had attached payment like a breakdown of your paycheck, except
for it wasn't her paycheck. It was a paycheck of
a guy that she works with that she's they've both
been there the same amount of time and they do
the exact same thing, and his was significantly higher.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Like she was shocked, like that that's it. I mean,
that sucks that they sent that to her.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah, it also sucks if that's the case and she's
getting paid less for the same job. And I need
there's some details I need to know, like or do
they for sure.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Have the same job?

Speaker 1 (17:55):
For sure?

Speaker 3 (17:55):
For sure, same the same responsibility.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
Same responsibility, same amount of time.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Is it a same old's job to where he may
be making money.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Because it's not a COMMISSI they'll often work alongside each other.
That's how close they are and what they do.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I mean, it's it's exact.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
She upset.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Yeah, no, very and she doesn't know how to handle it.
And so I thought, well, let me take this to
the guys.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
That's a tough one, man. This is the easiest question
we've ever had.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Really, I mean, okay, what she just goes and demands
equal pay?

Speaker 3 (18:32):
No?

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Because yes, but not like that, because then people get
upset and hold resentment. And even though she may get it,
the vibe at work is going to be off. People
may treat her different.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
She got she is already getting treated different.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
She got sent this by accident by a supervisor.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
Call.

Speaker 4 (18:52):
What you do is you have it in your email
and you forward forward it to your boss and your
boss's boss and back to accounting and you go, hey,
I don't think this was sent to me on purpose.
This was an accident. I'm sure, but I have a
lot of questions regarding what I saw in this when
I when I opened it that way, they know you.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Got it I'm already nervous.

Speaker 4 (19:15):
This is you being It's not confrontational, but it is
you asking for their time and energy regarding something that
isn't comfortable and something that she may be getting screwed on.
But in a way that isn't aggressive, because it's not
like she went and hacked in and got it, or
it's not like she went and asked the person, can
I see yours?

Speaker 3 (19:34):
They actually sent it to her. It wasn't like she
was trying to find it.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, it's this spell into her last Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
You forward it to your boss, your boss's boss. It
doesn't look like you're jumping over their head. And back
to accounting and you say, I got this by accident,
and I have a lot of questions regarding the pay.
And I would have never even looked at this, but
it was sent to me, and I opened it because
I thought it was mine. And then when you go in,
they know as an accident, they know they screwed up.
They're probably already going oh, oh, gosh.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
M And then you start to ask questions.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
You did nothing wrong by opening an email that was
sent to you, Like what kind of questions you ask
questions like, hey, I saw that we'll just call him Chris.
I saw that Chris is making eleven dollars a year
and I'm making eight.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
We've been here at the same time, Like what is
he doing differently than I'm doing. You don't go in
going I demand more. That's what you're doing.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
But you're doing it in a way that doesn't put
anyone on their heels where they can answer the question
and like, oh, wow, yeah, I'm glad you found that
we are going to bump you up. We didn't notice
that your salary had been you know you you hadn't
got a raise.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
So I think that's how you do it a little bit.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean, because you have to assume that it's potentially
this way because she's a woman and he's a man, or.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
You find out we're mixing the genders. Now we're not okay,
or you find out.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Or not, or you find out why it really is
like because there really actually may be a reason as
well that you don't know, but you're about to find
out one way. The wow about to get your raise
without being confrontational about it, because then if they do nothing, no,
that's just how it is. Well, then you can get confrontational,
but you just don't want to. If you don't have
to hurt the vibe at work, hurt the bible at work.

(21:07):
There comes a time when you have to. But first
you just go, hey, I saw this. Obviously I wasn't
pursuing this, but it leads me to some questions. Now
that I have this information, And if they don't have
good answers, showtime, baby.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
What if they're like, Jimmy's here like till eleven o'clock
at night every night.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
No, because a salary.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
There is a reason.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, reason, that's the reason in the salary position time
Almost as a matter, it's how effective you are at
your job.

Speaker 8 (21:32):
But you're about to find out if Jimmy is just
more value valued at your company.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
That could be it.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, because Jimmy's a man.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
No, No, it doesn't have to be.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
The thing is, you may find out what Jimmy does
that is actually different.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
You can assume it's because he's a major different.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
He's that too. It really but you have to go
and play it passively.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
The only thing I could think of when I was
talking her about it is okay, maybe he came in
with more experience.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
They'll tell you whatever the case is.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
They'll tell you what it is, and it's up to
you to decide whether that's a good enough answer or not.
Because if you feel like it's not and they're only
paying him because he's a dude, then again, showtime Baby
places obviously, so let us.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Know how that turns out.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Poor Jimmy, like it probably doesn't know either, right, Jimmy's
like thinking he's just making his living. He doesn't know
he's making more than other people, And now all of
a sudden, Jimmy's paycheck gets sent over.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Man, we should do that here.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Has anybody here ever been sent to anybody else's no paycheck?

Speaker 3 (22:36):
I've seen someone on a printer you have who has
a paycheck and a printer one of the.

Speaker 6 (22:43):
Bosses printed it for some reason.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
I don't know, Maybe.

Speaker 8 (22:48):
I guess pache here Like here, I was like, dang, okay, okay, I.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
Need your position, Okay, But I don't think they would
give you that position.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
No, no, no, I don't think they would either.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
But I just saw it, and I was like, dang.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
But also, that's not a position that you're right beside, right.

Speaker 8 (23:14):
Right, it's a different position. But I was just like,
I didn't know that position made that if if you
knew that, would you have gone for that position? Well maybe,
I don't know. It may be a lot of responsibility,
but I don't know. I'm not quite sure what the
person does.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
But they are doing all right.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
It's Eddie.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
There's no one in this room.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Time for rejected segments. Here we go rejected segments.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
She's the top five rejected segments from the last thirty days.
These were ideas that were turned down because they were
too either boring or dangerous or we do tell you
why we turned down each idea. Number five. Number five,
the idea was Lunchbox takes an eight hour Uber. Apparently
there's no distance limit in taking Uber. There's a time

(24:00):
limit of eight hours. You just have to find a
driver to accept it. What if we send Lunchbox on
an eight hour Uber ride, We find a place eight
hours away that he can even visit. He can visit,
like the murder House or whatever, and then we also
check in with them during the ride, and we see
how much it costs at the end.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
A lot.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, it's going to be a lot.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
So rejected because one expensive and two I don't think.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
You would have done it.

Speaker 6 (24:26):
Yeah, just eight hours?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Then take doing it.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
He would have to give me eight hours back. It
would have been double expensive.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, but if you were like sent to a murder
house or something, we could have had Abby follow you.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
This seems real. Yeah, that's a good reject.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Are you looking up to see how much would be
any I'm trying to do like Chicago?

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Like how much from here to Chicago?

Speaker 7 (24:45):
Right?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Too far? Probably you have to do seven hours fifty
nine minutes? Okay, where would that somewhere?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
In misery?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Number four?

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Number four, Amy suggested show bonding trip cow cuddle therapy.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yes, how did this get rejected?

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Did you know you can sign up for col cuddle therapy?
I think we should go as a show. A bonding
trip of sorts could be so therapeutic for us. So
rejected because I don't think any of us want to
cuddle with cols first of all. But number two, I
think Amy's just looking for friends now because she said
two of these. She also sent the line dancing one.

Speaker 6 (25:17):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
I think now she's just making pay.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
And don't cowskink?

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, I mean if they've been outside, these are these
cows cuddle?

Speaker 8 (25:26):
So I'm sure they really want to be cuddled and
they pee and oh.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
My god, they would you guys have wanted to do
that right next out, let's go number three, Masked interviewer,
Scuba seed books and mystery guests. But they have to
come in wearing a big mascot like costume. We have
no idea who it is. They can even talk in
a different voice, but we get to ask ten questions
to figure out who it is.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
They stump us.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
They get to prote whatever they want if we guess
it within ten. No interview, no promo.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
Great idea. The problem is we would never get anybody
good to do.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
I mean, well, that's like the masked singer, like there's
never anyone really really good like sealless celebrities.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
But they're still celebrities that you know, and they get
to promote themselves regardless. Yeah, so there have been some
kind of famous on there or the people.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
That used to be really famous with this.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
If we told them this, you have to wear a
maskot costume and if we figure you out, you don't
get to do your promo or whatever, nobody would come in.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
I think it's a great idea, but nobody would come in.
That's funny, all right.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Next out number two, this one under the I'm just
searching for show prep category Eddie.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
I thought I caught my sixteen year old son drinking. No,
this is a real story. Tell the story. This is crazy, guys.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
So one weekend I bought these trullis, like a six
pack of trulieres or.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Whatever, and I drink like two of them. No big deal.
I put the rest of my refrigerator.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
And then one day the same day, my son walks
in the kitchen while I'm doing the dishes and takes
the trash out.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
I'm like, that's weird.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
He's never voluntarily taken the trash out, is my sixteen
year old son.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Then I go in the refrigerator and guess what. The
truis are gone.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
A second red flag.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
My son's drinking. He drank those truies and.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
He's thrown away the trash because the evidence is in
the trash. Turns out the trulies were like in the
back of the Virgeria. They fell off the back. I
found them like two days later. But for two days
I thought my son was drinking.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Did you confront him?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
No, look in the trash?

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Yeah, no, I never looked in the trash.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
Checked the recycle bin.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
That's ud of the category. Had no show preps, so
just made up stories. Like the time just like told
a story made it extra elaborate because what was.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
The underwear thing that wasn't underwear?

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah, I found underwear in my women's underwear car. My
wife found them and she thought there were women's underwear,
but they ended up being like, I don't know, like a.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Speeder or something.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
It was the kid's like winter ski mask.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's true stories. Man.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
Let's go to number one, number one, the number one
rejected segment.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Raymundo heard this country artist is gonna be broke very soon.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
I would never get on and just have Ray tell
a story because he ra even put the artist's name
in it. He was like, I want to talk about
so and so and what they're doing. I would never
put the artist's name. Now, if we did it like
a country music secret, I could understand. But Ray wanted
to go hard at this person. Don't say who it is. Yeah,
just some of the stuff they're doing. They're flying private

(28:14):
to a lot of their shows. When at this stage
or however late or early in their career, you really
aren't supposed to unless it's like really necessary a New
York or in LA. You're not flying private to just
basic shows. And this person is another thing is they
did you say fly private to New York or LA? Yeah, no,
that's way beause you never want to fly private to LA.
It's like, oh, sixty thousand dollars on this side because

(28:34):
I find.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
All the way across the country and they're doing that.

Speaker 6 (28:36):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
My point is right, doesn't know away's talking about?

Speaker 9 (28:39):
No, I do?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
I do.

Speaker 7 (28:40):
And then they also just did a new house and
I don't think they have a family and kids, and
I heard it was a ten thousand square foot house,
which sounds massive, So it is. It's probably something that's
gonna make you go broke. That's why I said, got it.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
I know it is.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Give me a single letter in their first name.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Nailed it.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
Nailed it.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Now you got to beep it because they both did
a letter, so beat the letters.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
I don't have a letter.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Could this person's making a lot of money right now? Multiple?

Speaker 6 (29:12):
Okay, there's not multiple?

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, there is.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
I can think of like three with AI in it.
But it's a very common coupling of letters. Yes, but
I'm not gonna let.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
You say who it is.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
I haven't said keep beat that, keep beeping that when
I keep saying the letter, So I can't do it.

Speaker 7 (29:30):
Yeah, and when you go out to don't you don't
have your facts correct? Well, when you out with your friends,
you probably shouldn't buy their drinks every time you go
out with them. And I heard they always clear the tab,
which is nice, but that's how you go broke.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
I don't know if that's how you go broke, because
if you have a lot of money buying drinks or dinners,
that's but.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
If you're going out there, you don't know how you
you don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
You don't know how much money people have, correct, But
I I know.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
I can't say that because it gives it away.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
And they may not be paying for those jets, like
some somebody could be paid for the jets are free.
Somebody else is paying for it.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
Okay, this is why we don't do it, because we
throw somebody under the bus and it's not true.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
I know this person's making a lot of money. Now
I don't know what they're doing with their money's responsible?
So you know what he's talking about. Yes, he wrote it.
He wanted to say it on the air. Okay, right,
thank you. Yeah, that's rejected segment that was rejected segments.
Here's a voicemail Olivia from Michigan.

Speaker 9 (30:25):
I have a morning corny for Amy.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
What's this?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
The man who that a broken legs say to his Valentine?
I have a crutch on you, cruching like that Valentine's
Day tomorrow. Ye, I'm ready. So I haven't really been
specific about Okay, how many days? How many hours?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Is Caitlyn ready?

Speaker 4 (30:47):
Though?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I have no idea because yeah, because she we were
talking about.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Anything to her. Don't even text her and be like
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Can I tell you the story?

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Nope, because you're gonna spoil something. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I just said you ready. She's like, well, what about
Wednesday night? We could do something Wednesday night. I'm like, right,
that's Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Sure, she knows you have something.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
We haven't even talked about it. Yes, one word about
Valentine's Day. I just have the expectation that we're going
to do something, and my expectation is hopefully by now
she has an expectation that I'm going to try hard
m hm.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
But I guess that's not the case. I'm not saying anything, okay,
but she's making plain Well I'm not.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I couldn't. I told her I couldn't do it, but either.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
She probably just didn't know what that date was exactly.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I agree, once she realizes that it's the fourteenth tomorrow, anything, okay.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
Pile of stories.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
So one in ten Americans that are in a relationship
do not know their partner's salary. One in five I
have aren't sure how much their partner has in savings,
what their credit score is, or where they spend most
of their money.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Credit score, I have no idea what my wife says.
The rest of it. We know she knows what I make.
I know what she makes.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
I know what she I mean and then access to
every Yeah, that's weird, I know. Lunchbox says his wife
doesn't know what he makes.

Speaker 6 (32:18):
She has no idea what I make.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
She has idea?

Speaker 6 (32:22):
Okay, I guess she has an idea, But she doesn't.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
You just said she has no idea. I'm just saying
she has an idea, Like, how would she know she
has an idea? Based on the lifestyle that you live
and when you buy a house or when you talk
about what we can afford.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
I think she would know that's true.

Speaker 8 (32:37):
I guess, yeah, okay, because when I'm like I gonna
pay seventy percent, you pay thirty percent.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I mean, y'all have different accounts.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I can't imagine that it's list any people that have
or I don't know how many people have separate accounts
and completely difference.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
So maybe you just don't know.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Like I have no idea her credit score. I don't
know my credit score.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
I mean, yeah, I don't know that I know my
credit score either.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
I know it's good enough, and that can fluctuate here
and there.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, weird. The credit score one, I think is kind
of weird.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
But maybe, hey, go home today, ask your partner how.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Much do you make?

Speaker 3 (33:07):
That's a good conversation start. But I think most people
know don't Yeah, okay, a yone else?

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Okay, how often do you think your ex is checking
your social media?

Speaker 1 (33:18):
Or do you check your exes? Anybody?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
No?

Speaker 3 (33:22):
I never check my exes. I mean I don't even
know mine.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Who knows, well, it's the man that is snooping on
his exes social media more he takes a peek once
every thirty days, and women check their exes less often,
like an average of ninety two days, they get curious.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
I guess maybe if you're not in a relationship, you
check your ex. No, Lunchbox is always messaging with his
exes on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
But they weren't. I mean, I wouldn't say they're xes
there you used to do?

Speaker 8 (33:50):
Oh oh, you mean that feels like there was no
there was no commitment, right, But I bet you girls
like from the past, they definitely check on me for sure, yes, one,
not a percent. Like when you're in the public eye,
they're looking to see what you're doing. Like me, I
wouldn't even some of them. I don't even know their names,
so I don't know how to find them. So your exes,

(34:13):
but they're just ex flames.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yeah you wouldn't. You don't even know their name.

Speaker 6 (34:16):
No, like green dress, no idea, what name?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
You just have her on your phone as green Dress.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, it's probably more common to try to go to
your ex's new person's page.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
I guess if you still care or you're not like
married and moved on or yeah, I was not normal
to do that.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
I don't mean, all right, what else?

Speaker 2 (34:35):
So a list came out of the top thirty celebrities
that use private jets the most and two country artists
made the list because I mean, you expect like Elon Musk,
Will Gates, Kardashian.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Kenny Chesney.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Yeah he's on the list.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
He's at number twenty seven out of thirty. And I
got one more Garth.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Nope, Blake, Oh, that's a good one. What I wonder if, though,
if Luke would be on there just because he guts
to fly back to Idol, back the yeah, the boys. Yeah,
Blake's on the boice anymore.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
He did.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
That's Flake.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
He's at twenty three out of thirty.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
So what's the point of this story.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
I just thought two country stars made the list?

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Got it? Is that a good thing?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
I don't think it's a bad thing. I mean that's
got for them.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
I don't know if you're a shaming them or not.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Oh no, but this year, out of the top thirty,
Taylor Swift didn't even make the list.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Look at her. She had two jets to and Tokyo
waiting for it, just in case one of them broke down.
Flying Bag too. Yeah, I know, it's cool.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
That's maybe that's my file.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the
good news produce already.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
There's a doorman in New York City. It's on the
Upper East Side to be exact, and he's at work.
He's just chilling out there and looking at people. You
need a yeah ba by Cabby Cabby. Then he sees
a woman walking by with her purse. Two guys come
out of a car bo pin her up against the glass.
They start trying to steal her purse. She fights back.
What does the doorman do? He runs up get away

(36:13):
from her. He breaks up the fight. They run away,
so she's safe and she still has her purse. And
he's being called a hero. But lunchbots are gonna hate this.
He wants to be anonymous. That is heroic because he
could have been hurt.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Correct, Like to me, a hero is doing something for
others whenever you could actually suffer from it, being injured
or hurt.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
And he definitely could have been hurt or killed, So
that is heroic. What's crazy, too, is it happened in
broad daylight. He's like, man, New York City's changing. This
doesn't happen very often where like just somebody's a mug
like that in broad daylight?

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Did she have a bulldog in her purse. She did
not have one. They're stealing them like crazy on the
streets of New York. Yeah, daylight, he did say.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
What was crazy is when the guys were running away,
He's like, hey man, she tries to steal my phone
and it was all lies, Like these guys are just weird.
But anyway, he's a hero. He saved her and they
know we don't know who he is, but that's okay.
He's still a heron. That's what it's all about.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
That was telling me something good.
