Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's time for the good news.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So about forty seven years ago, Morgan Parago was hanging
out on the ocean in Barbados and he lost his
class ring, his nineteen sixty five class ring. Well, guess
when it was found. I guess recently, Yes, yes, Alex
Davis was using his underwater metal detector and came across

(00:27):
the ring in the water too. Yeah, And when he
found it, he knew the school and then it said
nineteen sixty five and initials on the inside were f MP.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Ingraved Friday morning dance party. They knew it was coming,
they knew way back then.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, yeah, And from that information they were able to
track down the owner, who is eighty three years old.
Now Morgan's eighty three, and they decided to save the
surprise for him for his eighty third birthday. And that
was like the big gift at the party.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Risky when you're eighty two, don't save anything, Yeah, do
it now.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I'm glad it happened, but just maybe the birthday was
like the next day.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, even then, even then, Yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy
for him. The general rule, if I'm over eighty, don't
save anything for me. Guyslet's give it to me that day.
You never know. It's a great story. Amy wants her
ring to somebody robbed her house and stole it.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I know this gives me hope. Texas A and M
Class of two thousand and three. It's gold with a
little tiny diamond on the inside. And I too have
my name engraved on the inside, or my initials E.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
M, or saving up for your eighty third birthday. Just
holding it for you.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yes, please don't.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's a great story. That's what it's all about. That
was telling me something good. Come over to Amy with
the morning Corny. The morning Corny, what.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Do you need to make Thanksgiving smores?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What do you need to make Thanksgiving s'mores?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Marshmallows, chocolate and pilgrams.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
That was corny. No I got I just gave her
a stare. I was like, yeah, you don't get it. No, No,
I know, I just get a stair at the get it.
It's just it's fine stairs that you don't like pill
Graham cracker. We're not really cracker Cracker.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, No, I get it, but sometimes you can make
it better.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
I'm open to feedback.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't you know what would make that one better
just not do it. I don't like. It's fine, I
liked it. Thank you, thanks for sharing that with me. Yeah, no,
it's good. You know, I have this weird thing and
it's totally a flaw of my own. Amy came in
and gave me a compliment that it wasn't even a compliment.
It was a question. It didn't get to a compliment place,
but it probably would have.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I think the tone was complimentary, right, but and I'm
not saying you weren't going to compliment it.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
But Amy comes in and goes, hey, do you get
a haircut? And I'm like, I don't talk about that.
And I got a haircut, and and actually it's the
same haircut GA every time. I like it. It's fine,
but I don't like for some reason, I don't like
it when people ask if I got a haircut or
is that a new shirt? I always am weird about that.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I'm like, no, no, no, But can I I kind
of shared this with you when when we were having
the back and forth, but you were also busy doing
commercials and stuff. But can I share something with you
that I've known over our eighteen plus years.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'd rather not hear it.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, it's that you also don't like it if we
don't notice your haircut.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I know, but you asked if I wanted to hear it.
Then I said no. Then you still told me, well, if.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
You've learned anything about me, I'm probably just gonna say it.
But in the tone maybe day of I know, you know,
but the.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Tone wasn't like did you get a haircut? Ew, it
was did you get a haircut?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
I know. It's it's a flaw. It's anything new I
don't like to have acknowledged. I don't know why. It
just feels weird. It feels like someone's about to attack me.
Maybe that's why.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Okay, But also if three days had passed, you'd be like,
nobody's noticed my haircut?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, like therefore days you're like, here you're supposed to do.
Maybe it was just this is so fresh, okay, it's
like da out a hair And I was like, what,
So that's it's a flaw. It's a flaw I have.
I don't like when people if I get a new shirt,
it's unless it's got a tag on it. I don't
rather not bring it up.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Well, at least you're aware of it. Awareness is the
first step.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
And then I said, no, I don't really elaborate, amy,
and she continued to elaborate. We'll work on that one too. Okay, okay,
all right, Anonymous inbox coming up in a seconds to
the nanny cam. So we'll talk about that, Anonymous s inbox.
There's a question to be Hello, Bobby Bones. Not sure

(04:21):
how to handle this. I have a babysitter that I've
been using for over a year. How she comes in
once a week for about three hours to watch my
two and a half year old. I suspect she's been
sleeping on the couch while she's supposed to be watching
my son, and he's not napping at the time. I'll
be setting up cameras this week for solid proof. But
before I do that, I want to ask you can
a babysitter sleep on the job? Is it wrong to

(04:42):
set up cameras to spy on them without them knowing?
Sign nanny cam canvas? No, not in your own house.
You can set up cameras whatever you want. Heck, put
them in the toilet.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I be so nervous when it came time for me
to watch it.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's exactly what a nanny cam is. That's why the
name happens exists. If you feel like something is happening
in your house that you need to have more of
an education on, then you need to actually be educated.
And you're fine, do a Teddy Bear with the camera
and I put a camera in whatever. Can't I babysit
or sleep? If she's there three hours, she's okay, not going.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
To sleep if the kid is awake.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It doesn't even absolutely if you're out there for three hours,
there's there's no conversation of can you sleep or not?
Your job is three hours once a week. You do
not get to go to sleep. That's not part of it.
Even if the kids napping, you don't sleep, right, it's
three hours. If it's like twelve hours five times a week,
and okay, I would understand if you take it, if
you have to take a nap occasionally, but no, no, no,

(05:43):
no sleeping.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Well, I'm guilty of falling asleep before when I was babysitting.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Okay, so I was a senior in high school.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yes, but I if it's like say I was babysitting
from seven pm to midnight and the kid went to
bed at nine like around but that's fine, does off
I know, So that's okay that I fell asleep on
the couch, think gonnas, nothing happen.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
But if it's just three hours a week, if that's
literally the job, there's no sleeping because that means a
fifth of her whole time is sleeping, her whole weekly paycheck,
she's been a twenty percent of a sleeping at minimal.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
But be prepared for whatever you might see on that camera.
Oh what do you think she's doing?

Speaker 3 (06:19):
I don't know, but that really just makes me nervous.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Well, I think you if you'd feel like you need
to watch and watch at your house, that's your camera.
And then no, nobody sleeps if they're only working three
hours a week.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
So do you have to ask the babysitter or do
you know that you have a camera.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Do you think when you're a babysitting you can eat
their food?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Oh? It depends what the rules are. You can absolutely
set rules and some people will be like, hey, how
whatever you want, but just.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
They just say nothing.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
They haven't said don't eat, they haven't said eat No,
I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
If it's three hours a week, you don't have a
lot of rights because you're barely in you're driving through.
That's three hours a week. You're on your best behavior.
You known't eat your.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Food, you don't take it now babysitting It was always
the best to see what they had in their pantry.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, and in their medicaviin no no, no bullshe yes.
Courtney Kardashian's son got a handwritten letter from Sylvester Stallone
for his first birthday because Courtney kardashians son's name is Rocky.
So Sylvester Stallone, who wrote Rocky starred in Rocky wrote
them a note, and the note said life has many

(07:22):
challenges you will face. You will need to show dedication
and determination. You must never give up on your dreams,
never now. Most importantly, you must always value family, friendship,
and loyalty over fame and fortune. Keep punching sly Rocky
still one. And he obviously wrote that for the later
years once because it gets one. He's not gon understand

(07:43):
happen well any of those words, but it's to have
because Sylvesters Long's gonna be famous for a long time,
his movies are gonna last. But that's pretty cool. That's
a pretty cool handwritten letter. His name is Rocky. You
get a letter from Rocky the question I'm asking you
guys fill in the blank. A handwritten letter from blank
would change.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Now when we were a kid.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Let's let's say both do kid and do now? Amy,
I go to you first. A handwritten letter from blank
as a kid would have changed your childhood? Who would
have been?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
I really wanted to hear back from Patrick Swayze.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
You did write.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I wrote him a handwritten letter, but then years past
I learned my mom never mailed it.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
So that's why I've probably never heard back, or.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
He probably was never going to write me back anyways,
But I would have loved to have received a letter
from Patrick Swayze as.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
A kid, Okay, as an adult.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh, Robin Roberts.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
If she wrote me a letter of encouragement and then said, hey, you.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Know I need you to come fill in on good
Morning of oh.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
You're wanting a job in America, She's like adding a
whole lot of things.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I mean, the letter is just like, hey, anytime, anytime
I can help you out with anything, or you're in
New York, pop bye, Like do a segment with me?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Job? I like it. Yeah, there are no rules, I
guess for me, a handwritten letter as a kid from
David Letterman would have been the coolest thing ever because
I I don't even understand what was going on, but
I watched Letterman every night and was like, if that
guy from Indiana who kind of looks awkward like I do,
can do it, I feel like I can do it.
So as a kid, it would have been David Letterman.
As an adult, it would be David Letterman, all the same, same,

(09:20):
same exact thing. It's always been like the guy to me.
I never met him, never talked to him, but I
think I think it would be awesome. Eddie.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah, as a kid, Eddie van Halen because he had
my name and he was like a rocker. My brother
like loved Eddie van Halen, so me as a kid
was like, I like him too, and his name's Eddie.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't think about the Eddie Eddie thing.
That would have been cool. Somebody famous with your same name. Yeah, yeah,
that had been cool. And then now now it's tough.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Like I think Denzel washing him would be awesome because
I see him on TikTok and he has always has
really good things to say.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Surprised you didn't go Tom Hanks, He's supposed to sposed
to be your favorite. Yeah, Tom Hanks, I feel like
he's kind of lost it a little bit, right, Like
like he's he's kind of he says stuff, but he's
kind of there. And then when he yelled at that person,
he's old though, now old people do he yelled at
someone like taking a picture of reader or something. That's
what I would want, I know. But hey, guys, he's
not like I'm on for Denzel, but I'm just so

(10:15):
have you ever seen those clips of Denzel he says something.
You're like, Wow, that was deep. I know, but I've
seen a lot of fel but I've never seen those Okay, lunchbox. Oh.
When I was a kid, it's easy.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
Sidney Crawford, man, she was so hot and what do
you what would you have liked for her?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I'm not quite sure, but she was so hot.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
But if I would have got, you know, a letter
from Sidney Crawford at that age, I'd have been like,
oh my goodness, Like this hot chick is into me
as a kid.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
That's my point, Like you thought you just thought she'd
been into you either. Yeah, it's like my second grade teacher.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
I would slap her on the butt every day because
I was like, she's hot and I don't know. And now, man,
it would be probably Johnny Bananas if he said, hey, man,
come on the challenge. I'm like, yeah, let's be let's
form an alliance, come on the challenge, and let's do it.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
But I think asking for a job is unfair.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
They wrote, which Lunch, I didn't ask for a job.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
He invited me.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Right, that's their letter to us.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, you know what, I just got invited by uh,
the man on the moon to come hang out on
the moon. Who's up there? We don't know, he's on
the mountain. We always cheat in these games. Leave it
to you, guys, Lunch barks to night.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Both our childhood ones are just like who we had
a crush on, like as a kid, I said, but
I don't think y'all had crushes on them.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I was a confused young boy. Yeah, okay, all right.
So Amy would like to nominate herself for Mom of
the Year. And I say that sarcastically. I think this
is one of the funniest stories. I think you're on
the phone talking to who, like what business does matter?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh? No, I mean it was regarding my kids.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Oh school, Oh my gosh, oh, brace yourself this way,
You're gonna love this story.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
So, uh, you know, we're on this call and I
my dog is sometimes chill, sometimes very annoying.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Dog also has a human name Carra. Oh that's right,
and she.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Has a lot of anxiety. She's a rescue. She's very needy,
especially towards me, and it just can get like a kid.
It's just a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
And I'm on this call and I'm trying to do
things and I think that I mute it, and I
tell Kara to shut it up.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Whoa Okay? So, and you said the word dramatic about
this Amy's on the phone with the school.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
That's not the school, but stuff related to my kids,
right whatever about.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Her kids and the dog that has a human name Kara,
and something like how dramatic do you think you did it?
You thought it was on mute?

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Oh, I just do.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I have since learned that the call was being recorded,
so I may have.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
Audio of this. I don't have it. Yeah, I mean
I don't know. I guess I could check my email
because I was like, hey, hahi.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
You have that. You think you said it? So you're
talking about it.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
I know exactly how I said it.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
I say pickled, say pickle instead of the bad word.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Oh Carara, no, hold on, hold on mute. Oh hey,
I say what I wanna say. This is my tone
on the call. It's like, oh, yeah, you know, warm
loving home or grade parents.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Mute, Car, shut up. I can't say pickle.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
I don't know why I did it like that tone of.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Like, it was very direct and firm, and.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Car was probably a person you were telling to shut
the blank up.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Casual there's a casual.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Ord wait, because it was kind of nice.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, no, it was firm.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I was being firm with Cara, like and you said that,
you said the word like, I'm like, Car, this, I
mean I feel like when Car hears me say that word,
she knows I mean business.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I mean I feel like, shut the pickle up. So
and then what did they say? Did they excuse me,
ma'am Amy?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
No, No, it wasn't even It was miss Brown, Miss Brown,
Miss Brown.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh yes, I think you're you're not on.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Mute or whatever.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
They said. I don't know, like we can hear you,
we can hear you. And I was like, oh, you know,
that's just how you said that.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
My dog.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
He was like, oh my dog. I was like, and
then I just went into how annoying she is, and
then I was like, oh wait, I don't want to
sound like I'm complaining a lot. I love her, though,
I love her, I love my dog, but then I
love my children. And then I pictured them just thinking
that I'm like telling my kids shut.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Up, or like yeah, another kid there, right, friend.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
No, no, no, no no. I think I got out of
it clean.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
And another person on the call that I am closer
to that's where I'm gonna get the audio.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
From, and she thought it was hilaryos.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I think It's one of the funnier things I've heard
in the last sixty hours.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, because I'm just like Golly.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Kara making a note, oh says the F word, and
other children in the house.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
All right.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
You know what's annoying is thinking you're on mute when
you're not. That's just that's just the truth, like on
t or.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Zoom or whatever, or when you are and you don't
want to be Can I do that too? I'm like,
they're like, we can't.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Hear when I'm on an actual, just legit phone call.
It's really easy for me to tell when I'm on mute,
But if I'm on one of those other platforms, let's see.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Dropped a big one on.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
It's time for the good news, Bobby.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
It's a story of love. This past weekend, Bernard and
Josephine they got married. But here's the deal. Bernard's ninety eight,
Josephine's ninety six. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
It gives me hope.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
That that gives you hope, more hope than that. They
met at in an Austin, Texas retirement community, and so
they've been friends and they hung out in the courtyard.
How about both them just living that long, like just
ninety eight and ninety six. Yeah, and she's she's expecting
as well. Oh wow, seriously no no, no, no, no, no,

butterflies and like that's really cool. They seem super happy.

I feel about those butterflies that are kind of kept
in a box.
