Sometimes I make two eggs.

once in a while, like I'll cook a couple of eggs,
or I'll put an eggo in the toaster, pop it up,
put a peanut butter.

On it, eat it. Sometimes it's just a piece of toast.
It just depends.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
And then I'm out the door. I grab a couple
of snacks. It takes me about.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Thirty minutes from eyeballs open to out the door. Out
the door. It's good.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I wake up a whole different you know, arrangement of times.
But let's just say I wake up at four. That's
probably when I get up most of the time. And
I'm like, oh, it scares me to wake up every
morning like O and so. And then I just start
my At first, I go out, let the dogs out,
and by the time they come in, I have their

(02:50):
breakfast ready. So I have them their breakfast, and then
I make my athletic greens with lime and coconut water
and water. Make that, drink that, and then I start
to read the news of the day, and Mike and
I start emailing, and Mike not if it gets email
at one ams gonna be a roughday for everybody because
i'ment out for like six hours before I get here.
And so I work on the show and go through
all the notes and go through all the stuff that

(03:11):
you guys have sent. Then I do I take like
my pep tides for while, like I injure myself which
are their injections in my butter my stomach, and I
shoot myself up with those, and then I stretch for
twenty or thirty minutes in the morning, and I read
a little bit of have time. Sometimes I'll I'll go
walk on the treadmill for a little bit. Depends what
time I wake up. It just depends, and then come

(03:34):
in turns away, my wife up. You just usually I
have about two hours home two hours, two hours. I
hate it. No, no, no, I would like to go
eyeballs up like I were the same, wonder where who cares?
They just go?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
That'd be awesome.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I just have a little too much anxiety, I think.
But that's the morning routines. I like it when it's
lighter earlier, because it's kind of what because only in
the morning, not in the evening, because but then I
like in the evening when it's lighter later.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
So I wish it could be lighter earlier than lighter later.
If only we can have that, I know, let's open
up the mailbag.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
You friend, the game mail, and we breathe it all
the air.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's something we call Bobby's mail bag.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones. I have two teenage boys. I
am at my wits end with all their slang. I
just want to have a normal conversation, just maybe talking
about their day, and it's all riz bus and no
cap sheesh sus, just to name a few. I'm so
tired of it. I've started a slang jar. Every time
they use a slang word, they have to drop twenty

(04:37):
five cents in the jar. My wife thinks I'm being ridiculous.
What are your thoughts on banning slang at home? Is
the slang jar too much?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Signed? Dad? Ready for a change? Before I give my opinion,
I don't know about the slang in your house, Eddie.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Oh, it's ridiculous. I'm like him like fire, oh cap,
like all that stuff. It's just all. Let me give
you an example. Yesterday is my dad's birthday. Right, Hey, guys,
let's FaceTime your grandfather.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Okay, great. They're gonna there and they're like.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Hey, what are you doing, Pompo, And he's like having dinner,
And then one of my boys that's fire, and the
one's like, ah, yeah, that's cool, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I'm like, guys, can we just went awesome?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Man?

Speaker 5 (05:12):
We just speak normal language to him, like great grandpa
like that looks really cool, like whatever.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Jolly good father. Just normal talk like is fire? Like
what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
That's fire?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
And then Pompo's like, what does that mean? Fire slaying
in your house?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Yeah? We have slang we have mom you're cooking? What
are you cooking? But it really means like what are
you saying? My son's often like, no, dip, I don't
even know.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I never heard that one.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
No, I don't know that he has it right. Sometimes
he has the slang wrong, but I don't mind it
so much. Sometimes if you can't beat them, join them,
and then they get annoyed you're doing it, so then
they're like, oh, I'm gonna quit talking this way around her,
so she'll stop talking that way. So like fire, Yeah,
no dip.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Here's what I would say.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
You probably spoke I laying to your parents whomever raised
to you. They were just different words, and they your
parents were probably like what does that even mean? Why
is something go way back?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Bad? Mean good? Why?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
And we could go through all the terms. You could
go seventies, groovy.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
A weird one. There's a lot every generation.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Eighties, i'd say rads and more more eighties like rad
radical psych.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
There's a lot of these.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
And the one thing that's never going to change is
the slang is always going to change, and each generation
is gonna have their own.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
So the slang jar seems a little the cursed jar
I get. Oh yeah, yeah, you can't say those words.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
The slang jar maybe a little too much unless you
feel like they're just not learning real vocabulary words. I
don't think you can use it as a punishment for
them just saying it, but it would be nice if
maybe they could pay or they could collect money from
the jar if they use a new word. You just
have to do some sort of award system as well
if you're doing a punishmentcause it's not something to get

(06:59):
push over unless your slang is like bad words.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Yeah, I like to paying them for a new word.
That's the bomb. Use a new word though, No, I
was just using another slang term. But you don't get paid.
Oh craps, right, it's slang and you came up with
the bomb. You'd be like if you were to say
such a righteous suggestion. I'd be like, righteous, I'm gonna
I'm gonna give you a.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Quarter because I've never heard you use that before, and
you used it in the right context.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Okay, yeah, that is terrific.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
You really worked for that one more.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
All right, good, I don't like it. You're the parent,
your rules though, right, you know your kid.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, but his wife is like, eh, so she's the
parent too.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I would just find if you if you're gonna take,
if you're gonna take from them, also find a way
to give to them if they can get better at
the thing you're punishing them for.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
And I think as parents too, we want to make
sure that Okay, our parents, our kids can talk one way,
maybe at home or with their friends, but hopefully, like
the teachers are, in a more professional setting, they can
life exactly dial it back a little bit.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
You got riz, Yeah, all right, close it up.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
We got your team mail and we ray on you.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Now. It's fun to close hobby mailed by Yea.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
I feel like we've been together as a show for
so long.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Me Amy Lunchbox basically twenty years forever, Mike d fifteen years,
Eddie fifteen years, Ray and all forever We've been together
for such a long time, and I feel like most
things we know about each other. And we were younger,
we definitely like went on vacations together, and then we
got married and.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Kids started to happen. But I feel like we know everything.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
However, every once in a while, a new theory creeps
out about one of us. But I'm super interested in
Eddie has a theory about Ray that he's secretly rich
and just refuses to share it with us. Which, by
the way, I've offered Ray like promotions, like do you
want He doesn't. He never wants them.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
He's like, I like this like doing what I'm doing,
I'm good, which I always like is rais a hard worker.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I was like, this guy works so hard. Doesn't he
want a promotion? And he drives a beat up car. Yeah, so,
but you have a theory he's secretly rich.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
I walk by his workstation where the board is in
the computer is, and I noticed something that's just been
sitting there for a while. I'm like, that is a
BMI Music publishing check. So when you write a song,
the publisher sends you a check for whatever you know,
like whatever you make on your songwriting I don't know
about Ray.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
But as soon as I get that any check, any check,
I open it and I deposit it, and Ray, it's
written such hits as vacation one, vacation two, vacation Christmas
white claw.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Christmas correct.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
So this check's just sitting there like he doesn't have
to open it. Why because he's rich. No chance i'd
let a check. Wow, right, is it true? Do you
have a check by your desk? It is not true.
It is a W two statement that they send it
at the end of the year.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Okay, guys, you would have thought the same thing too.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I'm like, wow, money asked a question like is that
a check?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Or like look at the big W in the two
That is I didn't say that on there, very obvious.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Are you secretly rich?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (10:03):
And to prove that, I can open this live on
the air if you'd like, Oh, so you're gonna tell
us how much you made in all of twenty twenty
three writing songs. Yes. I also want this to be
for kids too, because we see the Luke Combs and
Morgan Wallings of the world, but why not see the
people that are struggling. I really just don't think there's
any money in songwriting. Okay, that's the check, all right?

(10:26):
Total amount? Oh this given me really embarrassing. It looks
like thirty eight dollars and fifty six cents.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Not bad. That is not the definition of rich. Hey,
my bad, Right, I guess you're not rich.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
It's more than I thought it was gonna be.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I guess you're not rich.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
So maybe he can't buy a new car. Okay, you
start to enjoying that. Maybe he is, bro So that's
what you made the whole year. I thought, like, you
guys got some decent spins on this song we did,
and radio play that gets some money too, But sadly
that's it and we three ways, so well, you can
do all the Matthew want.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
And it's still one hundred and twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
I mean it's I thought it's not like it's forty grands,
but uh wow, I thought it would be more.

Speaker 5 (11:10):
So where's the money in songwriting? Like when it's like
number one number one? Is that it that where you
get big checks? I mean you get checks for different reasons.
Streaming obviously a lot of streams. It's like point zero
six cents of stream something like that. And then sure,
I ram sorry, buddy, I didn't, I mean embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, me too, Ray, I'm sorry, dude.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
The two keys are getting it on the radio and
the other one getting it.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
On a commercial on TV. Massive money in that sink.
Yeah they call that. So have you got to start
to get it on TV? No?

Speaker 3 (11:38):
No, even tried. Well, there's not like some summer. If
there's a summer theme stuff, then boom, we pitch vacation.
If there's a summer theme stuff, there's always summer theme stuff.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yeah, there's always summer commercial.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah. Yeah, well, thank you for sharing that being vulnerable
with this author. Did you have you ever made more
than that on a check though, like the year before?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah? Yeah, we made hundreds before hundreds. What's the most
you ever made on a check? Five hundred?

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Who like residuals?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
That is just people still streaming it while they're driving
their boats in the summer. He is rich, He is rich.
This is like the f It's like friends in Seinfeld.
They still make money on that stuff. Hang vacage, Yes,
wow the office.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Okay, So, now are we encouraging kids to chase their
dreams other dreams?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Just not sorry, they got it there.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's time for the good news.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
So there's a beagle rescue place in Raleigh, North Carolina.
It's called Triangle Beagle Rescue, and they took in a
beagle named Honey from Kentucky that had four puppies. Well,
sadly three of the puppies didn't make it, so she
was just there with her one lonely puppy and then
a vet calls says, hey, I need help. I got
some beagle puppies that need a home. Well, guess who

(12:48):
adopted these puppies and is now feeding them, caring for them,
making them her own.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Well, I don't think it's gonna be a tough guest.
They are character having one character introduced, Yeah, only one.
It is a political story. But yeah, the easy guest. Yeah,
that's cool.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
That a dog.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah, she's nursing them, caring.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
And her the surviving puppy from her litter sweetheart that
she's like letting these other puppies come in and like
hang out with her. Eat.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, do all the things, do all the things. That's
a good way to describe.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Okay, So you want the names of all the puppies.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
So there's Honey puppy, Honey.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
There's Honey, and then there's her puppy Sweetheart, and then
the new ones that came in Cupid, Cupcake, Kisses, Lovely
and Archer.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
One dude, that's the one dude. That's that's a good story.
Great job, that's what it's all about. That was telling
me something good.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Here's the drafting category, the best things about small talents.
Morgan goes first, We rolled the dice.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
This is so hard.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
It's a hard one.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, because I remember living in a small film. Oh,
then you're out of luck.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
You lived in You're right, you lived in a city,
but there was a there's a neighborhood ish kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, but okay, I got well, then you just maybe
shouldon't do good.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
No, No, I'll probably dominate still because I'm good at everything.
Best thing about living in a small town, Morgan, did you.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Live in a small town?

Speaker 3 (14:08):
No?

Speaker 6 (14:08):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
We shuita a small town. But growing up there wasn't
exactly a big town either. Okay, so I did have
a little mix of both.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Go ahead, and what do you think the best thing
is about a small town?

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Okay, this is hard to have the number one pick
up this because I just don't know where it's gonna go.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
But I'm gonna.

Speaker 7 (14:23):
I'm gonna go with this one because I feel like
it's accurate. Everything is cheap, Like drinks don't cost fifteen dollars.
You don't have to buy crazy.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
We didn't say go back thirty years. We said small
town now.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
No, it is small time, not like you go to
a dive bar.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Now it can be like four bucks for a drink.
You can get fries for two.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Dollars, so cheap drinks at the bar.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
It's cheap everything.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Keep what are you guys going.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
To bars and cities? Then drive out to the town.
That'd be nice, all right, raymonn't get from a small town. Yeah,
this is simple. I'm in a small town right now.
I know you guys are give me no traffic. I
can get umber one to the other.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
That's one, because a good one. I'm gonna go.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Best things about small town's the church community. There are
a couple of churches in every small town and their rivals,
but still everybody's pretty close, and that you go to
one of the two churches for the most part, and
you're all pretty tight because of it.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
So I'm gonna go small town church community.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
Yeah, but if you don't go, everyone knows has.

Speaker 3 (15:21):
Been a church every week? Am I going to Harvey
Schappel across the street? Oh, you don't even know that.
It's at a mountain bin Badges.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Lunchbox man.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Amy's out by the way because she finished last the
last game.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Best things about a small town.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
Oh man, best thing about a small town? No violent crime,
so much safer, a less crime, less crime.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
That's good, Eddie, easy man. What do you do in
the country with the boys? Bonfire parties. Let's just make
a big fire and let's have a.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
Party, build parties. Yeah, what do you want? Your official
answer on fire party? On fire parties, you would never
call him that in a small town.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
But never never. You don't know many.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Lunchbox lunch that was gonna be on the field party,
but you have bonfire party.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Bonfire party. I like it.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's like pyro technic good time because the big fire
is the the cool thing. Yeah, okay, all right, all right,
so now we're gonna go backward. That's round one. Okay, boy,
So Eddie with your party. The best thing about a
small talent.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
I was thinking about those party I didn't know man
driving down that dirt road road, dirt roads.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
All right, that's a good one. I mean that's I mean,
that's where I drank my first beer. Is that where Jesus?
That's where I found Jesus. I knew lunchbox. That's why
I picked church community. That's where I drank my part.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
I didn't drink the beer, but that's where I found Jesus.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
What do you got lunch mm hmm, I'm thinking, man,
he actually googled what's cool to do in a small.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah? Uh, guys. Nature is that your fingertips? Nature? Access
to nature? Sometimes country, small town or else is a
small town? Money?

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Money, everything nature. I think that's probably pretty accurate. There's
a pond, there's no pud small town. He puts nature. Okay,
I put hunting, fishing every day.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
You didn't love that the lyric. I couldn't do the lyric.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
There you go, Okay, Okay, you said nature, so nature
nature with putting.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Friday night lights high school football, that's really good. It's
a massive deal. Everybody comes out for it. High school football,
Friday night lights. It's that's it.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
That's what's happening in town.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
They don't what you say that one wasn't in the article.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I didn't read article. I know lunchboxes articles.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
I know if I google an article, you guys are
probably googled it too.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, so don't google articles. All right? Next up, RAYMONDO
shoot guns? Okay at anything? Okay? Anything shooting guns? Yeah?
What kind of guys? Excuse registered? Morgan?

Speaker 3 (18:26):
She I don't know.

Speaker 7 (18:28):
Okay, I think I'm gonna go with the slow pace,
like everything's very slow.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
You get enjoy life, slower pace of life, to try
that in a small all right, So Morgan, what are
your two?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
So far?

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Everything is cheap and slower pace.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Right now, you'll go first in round three. What are
you going to add to that?

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (18:52):
Man, I'm between two and I just thought of one
when you were talking about Friday night lights. I don't
know if I want to do it or if I
want to.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Do Thursday night dark Wednesday night sunrise after everybody's done.

Speaker 2 (19:03):

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Okay, Ray call it corny, but everybody waves in my neighborhood.
If you don't wave. You're actually an outcast. Ye, that's
I like that, Ray, but he waves. How's it going, Randy? Hey, Mike,
Hey Tom. Now you're waving, but you're saying just talking
to people. I know their naves too. So far, I

(19:39):
have church, community and Friday night lights. I'm gonna pick
the best thing about small towns is small schools because
the classes aren't humongous and you can pretty much do
anything and everything.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Some small schools. Yeah, but then you run out of
chicks to date, that's true.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
There are things called cars, and you can go to
the next small town and find a chick.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Or a big town nearby. I'm just saying, all right,
next up, lunchbox cause me.

Speaker 6 (20:02):
Now, Hey, I don't know what does your little website
say I'm looking for right now?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Low city folk.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
Well, there was one item on there, but I don't
know if I say that probably yeah, oh man, mm,
I don't know.

your own little I'm already already have my answer. Hey
mmm mmmmmm. That's a good. Yeah, we need you to
pick one, dude.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
Okay, helping hands. Everyone's there to help you. Everybody's got
your back. Everybody's got everybody's got your back.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Helping hands, everybody's got your back. Do you want helping
hands on that? What do you want your words to be?

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Because that's what we put out people vote on everybody
has your back.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Okay, cool? I like that.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah, helping hands just felt funny. Sorry I didn't know
how to Eddie.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Am I the last? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Man, I'm between two really good ones, like two really
really good. So I have stargazing because like that's great
when you're a small town you look up like wow.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Every single right, I love that.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
And then which I think I'm gonna go with is
the dances at the VFW. Oh those VFW dances, man,
that's where it's at. What else do you do on
the Friday night? Oh, there's a dance with the VFW
with a band. Cool, can't wait?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Is that your answer? That's my answer?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Right. It's the Veterans Foreign War. It's a my grandma
and I used to go, but never in our town.
We should go play bingo there. It's like a group
of people that were in wars. Yeah, and so they
have a But Eddie is like the twenties.

Speaker 6 (21:48):
He has competing things. He has the dance on Friday
night or the bonfire party. So which one's better that
you are?

Speaker 2 (21:53):
You can go to the VFW dance and then the
bonfire party.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Afterwards, or you can pre game get drunk the bonfire
party field party. Okay, so Eddie has dances at the VFW,
dirt roads and bonfire parties.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
Lunchbox has less crime, nature and everybody has your back,
helping hands.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
He chose about the hunting fishing man. That's nature, I know.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
But yeah, Morgan has everything cheap, slower pace and small cafes.
Ray has no traffic, shooting guns and everybody waves quality.
And I have church community, Friday night lights and small schools.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's really good. Go vote to Bobby bones dot com.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
We don't put our names on him on the vote,
and don't vote for just the top one that's the
first round, because we all have different positions. Vote for
the three together that you would pick. Bobby bones dot
com will put it up there for a few hours.
Thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Good job everybody. I should have gone stargazing. Yeah, but
that's the term is not good. What do you mean?
That's what it's called.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
It feels like you're looking through a telescope, I would say,
laying down in a field staring at stars.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
And if that's a really long answer though, I don't know,
on a dirt or whatever you want to do with whiskey.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
All right, thank you. There you go on the phone
right now.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
It's Kelly who's calling us to Kelly is a dyslexia specialist.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Hi, Kelly, Hi, So.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Eddie thinks he may have dyslexia, and not in a
joking way. No, And maybe you've had it forever, you
just didn't know that's what it was that maybe was
inhibiting you.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah, and then recently we were playing a game or something.
I literally I did say something backwards without even thinking
that I said it.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Also, what's that disease called you were talking about? Does
the cat probably gave it to somebody?

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (23:34):
Blue bonnet, Craig, blue bonnet Craig. How about bubonic plague?

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yes? Hard to say.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Yeah, So, Kelly, you've heard Eddie and you've heard us
on the show. Can you tell me, as a dyslexias specialist,
what you've heard and what you think?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Okay, So I think he may have a form of.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
This calcula calcula okay, interesting, which.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Is a math for it makes it's almost impossible to
memorize multiplication facts.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Oh you can't do that, that's crazy?

Speaker 4 (24:06):
This too.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, And there's a lot of difference that goes with dyslexias.
There's on a lotul where you think you're pronouncing something
correctly but you're not.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
For example, that disease Eddie blue Bonnet Craig.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Okay, he knows he's saying that.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
He didn't even if he's kidding right now, forever he didn't.
He couldn't say bubonic plague. Okay, So dysalcular and.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
The cabbage test that he took on I wanted.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
To explain that, but that's so ne So wait what's
it called again?

Speaker 3 (24:41):
O me?

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Okay? And what is that?

Speaker 1 (24:44):
That is the smallest unit of found in a work?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
So what does that have to do with being dyslexic?
And how is someone like Eddie like, why would he
struggle with that because.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
His pathways in his brain can't break down to that level.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Just brain chemistry.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Actually, know, it's not smart.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
No, it does not mean you're dumb. Most of your millionaires.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are just okay, I don't know if that's the fact
you're talking. But I do know stories of very successful
people who were born dyslexic, so they had to figure
out a way before they were even diagnosed to almost
cheat the system. But they became so good at reading
people or because they had to to survive. By the

(25:30):
time it was diagnosed, they not only had all these
other skills they developed, then their dyslexia was a bit
remedied and they were able to just crush it in
the business world. Kelly, what do you think he can
do to I don't know, read better, learn more? What
can he do well?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
One of the reasons that I was calling is I'm
coming to Nashville in my honor and I was going
to also test everyone.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, let's do it. Okay, are you real?

Speaker 3 (26:00):
You're not making this up right? You actually are a
dyslexia specialist.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yes, okay, I.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Have a doctor. And it's not in letters. It's the education.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Oh well, I don't know, it's up here. Okay, Yeah,
we would love When are you coming to town.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
It'll be the week of March fourth.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
I will put you on hold.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Hey, Scuba, can you see if we can get her
in and we'll take all take the dyslexia test, and
it sounds like there are a lot of different forms
of it.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yes, if I can test everybody's reading and spelling level,
I thought that would be a good challenge for y'all.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
It would it be fun. How long does the test take?

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Though about?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh, no problem perfect?

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Would we all do it at the same time? Or
you need to see us individually?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
And can we not cheat? Have lunchboxes? He'll look on
our papers. Yeah, spelling tests would be tough sometimes.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
That I can do all together, but some of the
actual testing, especially on Eddie and Lunchbox, I would need
them one on one.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
So you did say Lunchbox do you think not? I
made a joking about him cheating, But do you think
Lunchbox has a bit of dyslexia?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
I think he has some characteristic steps be there.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
No, we're the ones getting pulled out of the class. Yeah,
we get an extra test time. Man, that used to
happen to me. But for Headline, Oh that's different. That's sold.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
So I would rather have dyslexi than headlines because I
gotta made fun of hard. Okay, So let's do this.
Set her up. We would love to meet her and
come up, she'll give us a test. We'll check your
credentials first to make sure she's because that would be
an awesome way to get in and lie, I'm a
dyslexia specialist.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Problem.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I can give you my credentials, not a problem.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Where'd you Where did you go to school?

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Well?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I went to SU I have a doctorate in education,
and then I went back and got my dyslexia position.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm in. Are you dyslexic?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
No, my son was, and he did not learn to
read till he was fourteen.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
And now this year graduates from UFA on the Chancellor's list.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's like a Disney movie.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
A mom goes back to get her doctorate in dyslexia
because her help can't figure out why he's not able
to thrive in this one area when he's thriving everywhere else.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
And then he goes to call. He goes to college
and saves the world. Yes, becomes a millionaire.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
No, but an astronaut who then blows up a comet
and then comments, coming down, whill you find the cure
for cancer in the woo?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Let's go? Is any of that maybe true? Kelly?

Speaker 1 (28:21):
He wants to be a counselor for little kids.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Even better, that's pretty good.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Even better, Okay, answer survivors see Disney movie. Okay, Kelly,
we're gonna get your information. I would love to have
you up here, and hopefully we'll see you in a
couple of weeks. Okay, all right, don't hang up.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Whatever you do, don't hang up.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Twenty eight year old woman was busted for battery after
she and her mom had an argument in the kitchen
and the woman grabbed the grits that her mom was cooking,
the literal grits, and through the grits in her face.
The mom wasn't seriously hurt by the grits, so she
hit her with grits. But if you only get hit
with grits, do you call the cops? Oh no, that's

(29:01):
kind of funny. It's it was a real fight. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
but assault with grits or I saut with porridge.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
Like I'm pretty sure I've thrown a burger at my
brother when we were fighting. We're kids, and like you know,
it just kind of it made it mad, but we
weren't gonna call the cops. Grits could burn, but they didn't.
It's from the smoking gun. And now they're like, we
don't want the police to be involved. But the police
got involved because you threw grits. Somebody had to tell
on the grit thrower.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
And I just think if someone to throw oatmeal eggs,
I don't think that is me calling the cops unless
I'm worried that it's gonna go from eggs like sausage,
and then from sausage to thees.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Oh gosh, that'll hurt an apple, that would hurt.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Uh. The female victim sixty four was covered in grits
when officers arrived.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Oh she was a victim. It's me, Oh yeah, grits.
Pile of stories.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
So are there aliens in your neighborhood?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
In my neighborhood? Is our galaxy our neighborhood? And and
is it that small because we don't even understand how
big things are. It means you're streetly because if you
want to go back to like the Native Americans, they
would have not thought that you would have been able
to get to other countries because that was another galaxy
to them, right the ocean.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
They wouldn't even understand what China was.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Right, and if we look at planets or other we'd
be like, we don't understand, but one hundred years from
that could be like, oh yeah, that's like China.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Now anyway, who knows.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Well, there was a snap that was put out that
showed the UFO hot spots across America and then it could.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
You compare the drinkings fought like the most consumption of
alcohol too in the same areas.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Well. I don't know what they did. Some interesting numbers
where one hundred and thirteen alien sightings have been submitted
to the National UFO Reporting Center in the last twenty
three years. One hundred and thirteen thousand.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
That's a lot, it's a lot.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
I just think that if there probably is something more
than us, whatever that is, they're probably so advanced they
don't want to see them.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
We don't see them. It's like it's not all on
the same spectrum.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
I know.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
It's like a little green man going oh I got caught. Yeah,
I hate that you think they're more advanced than we are.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
If they can get here, they have to be well no,
not well, that's not a response. They don't have to
be more advanced than us if they're somewhere far away,
but if they're able to get here. Then they have
some technology that allows it to Yeah, yeah, gree story.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
Well oh yeah, I thought that that was higher. And
then anyway, this guy was talking all about how true
believers of aliens are not just outside of government, many
of them are inside.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
For sure. The government watch all the tiktoks for.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
Sure, and that in the area fifty one county there
are eight hundred and twenty sidings per one hundred thousand residents.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
That's just because people know that that should be there
like that, you know something's up there. I don't even
know that that's what. What's up there though, Area fifty one, Yeah,
there's for sure something happening there. But there's for sure
secret things happening all over America, right they don't want
us to know about.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
It.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Doesn't have to be aliens. But if you said this
is a place where there have been a bunch of aliens,
even if people don't see them, they're going to go
I think I saw an alien any more, that's all.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
And they're come from the ocean anyway, Are go ahead?

Speaker 4 (32:01):
When are we talking to my cousin about aliens?

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Amy's cousin, Amy's psychic cousin loves talking about aliens. Yeah,
and alien that's such a weird thing because it feels
like a cartoon. Yeah, you know, Marvin the Martian, Absolutely,
but I also enjoy talking about the possibility of things
greater than us.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
And so yeah, I'm just interested to watch y'all you
and her both talk about it.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, I'm not and I'm just going to sit back,
all right. What else?

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Okay, So there's a new dating app called Score and
it's not just to.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Score, not tender to score.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
In that way. It's not what you think. It's about
credit score and you must have at least a six
to seventy five credit score to use it, so you've
got to have good credit. And it hopes to raise
awareness about the importance of finances in relationships. And when
they credit check, you don't worry. They're doing a soft
credit check, which no one that affects your credit exactly,
because that's the bummer about credit checks.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
It's also a weird thing.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
We're going to check your credit cause you want to
know what it is, but it's also going to hurt.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, weird, wild.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
So high achieving people do these things at least once
a week. I'll run through the list. So y'all can
write them down. Okay. They reflect on their progress.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Yeah, I mean every ten seconds.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah. Unplug from technology, it says just once a week.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Up.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Oh yeah, I mean I read.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
When I read, it's pretty much unplugging technology, except for
I read on the iPad.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
All right.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
They nurture their relationships.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
I have to be very very present with myself to
do that, but I do do a better job of that.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Exercise regularly, prioritize learning, absolutely practice gratitude. But in your
case things.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
I don't say gratitude, hippy say that. I do the
same exact thing, though, just call it something different. Okay,
I do Thanksgiving in the morning.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
And then they set clear goals, So there you go.
If you want to be a high achiever.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
I don't think that's all, but I think those are
good fundamentals that if you do that, it doesn't mean
you're gonna achieve high.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
And you don't have to even do all that to
achieve high. It's probably very similar.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Do these seven things and you will be successful. Just kidding.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
I mean, that's why that was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Bobby Good, Lindsay Boyd works at Mason Jar Cafe in Michigan,
and person comes in. They get their bills thirty two
forty three, just some normal stuff whatever, And so it
leaves a tip on there ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Oh did you say ten dollars?

Speaker 4 (34:24):
That's a lot of money on a thirty four dollars bill.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
You get thirty two to forty three a ten thousand
dollars tip. We don't know who the person is. They
say they want to be anonymous, unnamed.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Now here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
He didn't want to have his name and was real
because at first you're like, is this a prank or
do they write something wrong? Do they mean ten dollars?
You know, ten dots zero zero? But right added an
extra who knows They're like, nope, it's legit. But he
wanted to split it with the whole staff. Want her
to split it with the whole staff.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
So in the end, nine of the servers walkway with
eleven hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
It's awesome, which is awesome, very generous.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Was this the guy that was in town for a
fewuneral I don't know that it said anything about that.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Was there one like that? I think I've read this one.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Yeah, he was in town for a funeral of it
for his best friend, and he wanted to do that
in honor of his best friend.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
That is not in the story at all. Yeah, So
either there's two of these, I guess because mine was
ten thousand dollars as well. But I feel like if
somebody's gonna crazily tip, that's a pretty like common big
number ten grand, god grand or five grand, like there's
yeah maybe, but this is nothing about somebody dying, right, and.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Let's put him together. Sure, just for the sake of
telling something good a million.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
Tell me something good would be that there's two men
out there doing this.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Oh man, that's even better.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Yeah, would if you were her, would you be I'd
be disappointed. Why that you don't get all ten thousand
because you're.

Speaker 6 (35:46):
The one that's that waited on that person. It's the
other actual waiting. The other waiter waitresses did not help
in any way. Food who did the most work?

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Did you see? You said everyone gets how much? That's
all that's awesome. There you go, regardless of what Launch
Park says. That's what it's all about. That was tell
me something good.
