Hello, Bobby Bones. You've had some cool moments in your career. What was one specific moment where you thought, okay, is this real? I've actually made it. Signed. Still waiting on my moment. You know, the therapy answer is, I definitely don't feel that way. But I think when I bought my mom a trailer, that's when it felt like, hey, I'm actually, like, breaking, like, generational difficulties here. So that was the moment for me. I remember I bought my first pair Of Jordans. That's crazy because I only got shoes from yard sales. And when I bought my first pair of Jordans, I kept the box for 15 years, even though the shoes were. I wore them so much they wore out, but I kept the box forever. That was a big one. Buy my mom a trailer was a big one. And two acres of land. That's. That's a good one. It's funny, those are the only moments I think about. None of the stuff recent, nothing like

[Tammy]

that, like a career milestone or an

[Amy]

award or no Dancing with the Stars.

[Eddie]

None of that stuff feels as significant as those two things. Yeah, the literal two things that come to mind if you just said what would have told you you made it. It was buying my first pair of Jordans after yard sale shoes my whole life and then buying my mom somewhere to live. That is it. Now the other stuff, if I'm breaking it down, is really cool. There's some cool. I mean, being the youngest person ever in the radio hall of Fame. Yeah, that's cool. When he dance with stars, having New York Times bestsellers, all that's cool. But that's not first. That's not first. So that's it. What about you? When did you make it?

[Amy]

Still trying.

[Lunchbox]

Come on.

[Tammy]

What do you mean, come on?

[Lunchbox]

There has to be something.

[Tammy]

I know. There's career highlights for sure.

[Eddie]

What comes to mind though? First thing.

[Tammy]

Well, okay, when? Right when you read that question. The first thing that popped into my mind, that this is more spit, spit, spit. What you were able to do.

[Eddie]

It doesn't matter. Just what comes to mind.

[Tammy]

The time you surprised me with George Straight.

[Eddie]

Oh, in the room.

[Tammy]

Yeah. That was like a career. Yeah. Because Bobby's tricks, me saying I'm going to do a phone interview with George Strait and I'm on the phone with him and then George Strait is walking down our hallway on the phone with me, you know, going along like George Straight went along with the joke, playing along with a bit to surprise me.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

And then he came in and I'm like, wait, this is what I get to do? This is part of my job. Like I, he's. I. That, that was cool. Oh, obviously when we do fundraiser type things like being in LA with my mom and my dad and winning the Gracie Award and you got to present it to me. But the reason why I won the award, which I say we won the award, was it was because of 30 ABES and packing the hunger relief meals for Haiti, like, because that's the first award I ever got. Even though I say it was for us, but it's a. They recognize women in media, and I got to go up there, and both my parents were there, so that. I guess that's a recognition. But being able to be at a job where we can gather listeners like that and make an impact and is cool.

[Eddie]

The only people that could have won that award on this show, the Gracie, was you and Eddie.

[Tammy]

Yeah, well, I don't know.

[Eddie]

There's testosterone. If you. As long as you're not over a certain point, you're up for it.

[Lunchbox]

You qualify as a woman.

[Eddie]

You qualify.

[Tammy]

Yeah. So stuff like that is like, those are career highs for me.

[Eddie]

Thank you for the email. There you go. Close it up. I talked to Jen Hamilton. She is so beloved. I had no idea. She is a labor and delivery nurse. Do you know Jen Hamilton?

[Tammy]

I follow her online. I don't know her.

[Eddie]

Like, I mentioned people like, oh, my God.

[Tammy]

Yeah, she's great.

[Eddie]

So she has a new book out called Birth Vibes. And so we were talking about. My question was, like, what's the longest, like, labor, like, induction, and. Which is crazy. And then also the perfect hospital bag. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Morgan]

Jen Hamilton, the longest induction I ever had was five days.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Five days and ended in a C section.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I think that there's a lot of people who think that obs are just itching to get you a C section. In my experience, it can be the exact opposite. And sometimes, like, we're not doing them when you might expect someone to have a C section. So a lot of the providers where I work will give you the. The best chance at a vaginal delivery that you can have. While it just depends on the. On the doctor. Right. So sometimes you'll have a doctor that goes straight for that at the first sign of trouble. But, yeah, that was a long one. I felt for.

[Eddie]

And you. But you went home multiple times. Right. You, like. You weren't there at beginning and end, Right?

[Morgan]

Correct. Correct. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You're also toothpicking your eyes open to stay for five days. That would be crazy. What do you think is the perfect hospital bag? The. I don't know what you can call that. The birth bag, you know?

[Tammy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What do we need?

[Morgan]

That's a good question. And it depends on who you are as a person. I talk about this in the book, but it can be so individualized. And you can also show up to the hospital, not a stitch of clothes on you. And we got you. We can take care of you. We got diapers for you and the baby, you know, but biggest thing, Chargers, man. I can't tell you how many people come in and say, oh, I forgot my charger and we don't keep chargers. But I'll say, if wearing your own clothes is important to you, you can bring your own birth gown. You can wear whatever you want. We have mama and baby diapers, so you don't really have to worry about that if you have. I really love it when people bring in, they make these like little fans with like a, like posable legs that you can like wrap around the hospital bed or kind of stand. Stand up. Those are cool that people bring playlists. And also, if you're making a playlist, do not just do kumbaya music that you think will relax you. Because I can't tell you how many people make a kumbaya playlist. And they get so angry at the playlist when it's not helping them get through. I mean, we need like dmx. We need something like something else, you know, some hype up music. Make a few playlists in case you don't like the one that you've made. I did have a girl one time that played Twinkle Twinkle little star for 12 hours.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Morgan]

Yes. Yes.

[Eddie]

That's like baby shark vibes over and over again. Like, you can't shake it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I thought I was gonna go crazy, but I held it together. We got through it. But that was what. That's what got her through. There's a dad that one time figured out that his gaming system would not hook up to our TV. He went out to Best Buy and got a 55 inch screen TV.

[Tammy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

And then karma said, guess what? Because when he opened it up, it was cracked. I said, ha ha. That's what you get. Don't try to bring your 55 inch screen TV in there so you can play your freaking whatever you play on there.

[Eddie]

That's why. Because you won't be there long.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

The Yardbirds, right?

[Dakota]

My mother in law spent years sabotaging our relationship until karma made her pay for it.

[Morgan]

Wait a minute, Dakota. How bad did it get?

[Dakota]

Well, it got bad enough that her son in law had to eventually arrest her himself. Oh, she moved in for two weeks, lasted for five. She left nail clippings in the bathtub, candy stuck to the furniture and then she pressed her ear against the bedroom door and burst in screaming.

[Morgan]

She did not burst in while they were she did.

[Dakota]

They kicked her out and paid for her hotel and they thought it's finally over. Days later she called her son in law at work claiming that his partner had been in some kind of freak accident and had been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. He called every hospital in the city and his partner was making coffee the entire time.

[Morgan]

She faked a medical emergency just to Test whether or not he loved her son.

[Dakota]

Yeah. And she sat in the hospital parking lot waiting for him to see if he would show up. When that didn't work, she walked into the son in law's police station and filed a kidnapping report against him.

[Morgan]

She filed a kidnapping report against him in his own police station.

[Dakota]

Spoilers. Karma's gonna show up in the best way possible. So if you want to hear how this story ends, search OK, Storytime on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. Listening to podcasts.

[Eddie]

I was talking with labor and delivery nurse Jen Hamilton. Massive online. I just wanted to get her take on me not cutting the cord. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Morgan]

Jen Hamilton.

[Eddie]

I chose not to cut the cord because. Okay, I. There's a judgment gap.

[Morgan]

Judgment already coming through. Okay, continue. Give me the reasoning.

[Eddie]

So they asked, would you like to cut the cord? To which I responded, is there any literal benefit to me cutting this cord? They said, no. I said, I choose not to feel metal going through human flesh. So I will not cut the cord. If you tell me there is a something about this. For example, I did skin to skin because they told. I learned why that was important. I said, if there's something about cutting the cord that is a bond to my daughter and myself, I'm in. But if it's literally just me taking metal and going through human flesh about. So I did not cut the cord. I will now accept your judgment.

[Morgan]

Okay. Do you regret it? Do you wish that you did?

[Eddie]

No, I don't want to cut through humans. I don't want to cut through skin. I don't know the benefit of skin, though.

[Morgan]

It's just like, it's me to rite of passage.

[Eddie]

It's me, you know.

[Morgan]

Okay, I'll give you that.

[Eddie]

If they would have said, you need to chew through it so you can really feel the love, I would have chewed through it before. I would have cut it with scissors because at least chewing through it had been something primal. Yeah, I totally passed. How many dads pass on cutting the cord?

[Morgan]

More than. More than you would think. But I do often talk them into it sometimes because I think that there's a lot of dads who aren't expecting that question or like, we're thinking about it and then we're like, okay, you talk about the cord, you ready? And then they're like, whoa, that's not my job. And then we, you know, encourage. So what I like to do is say, where's your phone? We're we're documenting this moment, you know, it can be a rite of passage. We had a dad that was like, well, I didn't cut it with the last one. I was like, new tradition, right? You can cut it with this one. I'd say 5% of dads turn us down.

[Eddie]

That's all.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Morgan]

Very persuasive.

[Eddie]

What if I would have said, I will chew through the cord? Is that allowed?

[Morgan]

I mean, I've never seen that happen. I think you would definitely get some looks. I mean, I don't think I can stop you from doing that. I might have my own thoughts about that. I would keep them to myself. I'm all about informed and empowered decision making. So even if. Even if you decide to do something that I wouldn't, I'd say you do, you boo. That's what I'd say.

[Eddie]

What are the rules on phones in the room? Because I did get in our delivery, the baby landing on my wife's chest, but I didn't know the rules, so I was just kind of wasn't hiding it, but I knew there were places I didn't need to be. Are there rules?

[Morgan]

There are rules. I will say this. I will say, no one can make you do anything that you don't want to do. For me personally, so the rules around recording a birth are all about liability for the hospital and everyone involved. For me, if I see. And I might get in trouble for saying this, but, like, if I see someone recording during a birth, I keep my mouth shut. Like, I don't. I don't personally care. And what I'll tell them is like, hey, I'm not gonna say anything. You might have other people that do. I personally don't care, but a lot of people do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

All right, There's a full episode up almost an hour long with Jen Hamilton. All you have to do is go search for the Bobby Cast. Wherever you get your podcast, it could be iHeartRadio. You can watch it on Netflix if you want to watch it with your eyeballs, but it's the Bobby Cast. Check it out Friday around the room. In 1989, Blockbuster Video was growing so fast that a new store opened every 17 hours. Wow. At its peak in 2004, there were 9,094 stores. It employed 84,000 people. Today, there is one left in Bend, Oregon. At one point, I believe Blockbuster had the option to buy Netflix and they passed on it.

[Tammy]

Oh, I believe that's true.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's tough rip to Blockbuster Video. What a time, though, huh? What A time that was. All right, Amy.

[Tammy]

After major nuclear accidents, some cleanup efforts have included planting sunflowers because of their ability to absorb certain contaminants from soil and water.

[Amy]

Wow. That's cool, man.

[Eddie]

I feel bad for those flowers. They're born to just be contaminated and die.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

Well, I don't know if it kills

[Eddie]

my empathetic heart

[Tammy]

towards a sunflower.

[Eddie]

That's me.

[Tammy]

I mean, it's a beautiful way to help restore what happened.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I agree.

[Morgan]

I think.

[Tammy]

I think, like, after, like, Chernobyl, they planted some sunflowers. I don't know how much it helped. Obviously, there's a limit.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That place won't be safe for 100 years.

[Tammy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

More sunflowers. What I say. Yeah. Bring them in to dump sunflower seeds like crazy out there. On average, a semi gets about six miles per gallon.

[Lunchbox]

That's not very good.

[Amy]

No, it's not.

[Eddie]

That's bad mileage. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Elephants are big animals. They got big old teeth. Their molars weigh six pounds a piece.

[Eddie]

Dang. That's wild.

[Lunchbox]

Big teeth.

[Eddie]

That'd be cool to have in your house. Like a molar of a. Yeah. Of an elephant that's already died, though.

[Amy]

Sure.

[Eddie]

Or one that went to the dentist and got a fake one because I don't want to kill it for one.

[Amy]

They got their tooth extracted.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like me. They got fake teeth. They got veneers. Elephant veneers. Eddie.

[Amy]

So you know the Caesar salad, it's not Italian. The Caesar salad was invented in Mexico in 1924 by an Italian immigrant named Caesar Cardini.

[Eddie]

But that sounds Italian. If it's an Italian immigrant, he is

[Amy]

from Italy, but he lived in Mexico when he created. So therefore, it is a Mexican dish.

[Eddie]

Feels like it's Italian. Who did it?

[Amy]

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's Mexican, guys.

[Tammy]

It came from an Italian in Mexico.

[Amy]

And it all happened. He was at his restaurant. He had a restaurant in Mexico, An Italian restaurant. Yes, it was. And they were like, who? Let's have some good food or whatever. Make us something. He's like, let me put the salad together. There he is. I call it my Caesar salad.

[Eddie]

Feels Italian to me, but okay. You guys know Phyllis from the office? Yes. She was one of the people who sold. She's like the motherly. Olderly, motherly. She was once an NFL cheerleader. She cheered for the Cardinals back when they were in St. Louis in the 1970s. So that's fun. And number two, she wasn't an actor. She was a casting agent for that show.

[Tammy]

Oh, really?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

Didn't she cast herself? That's smart.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That is smart.

[Eddie]

Dick Cheney was vice president.

[Amy]

What?

[Tammy]

He nominated him?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

He's like, I'm gonna go find the invite. I think it's me. Yeah. Crazy. All right, next up, Morgan.

[Morgan]

The sun makes a sound at 100 decibels created by plasma motions and nuclear reactions within the interior, but we can't hear it in the vacuum of space.

[Amy]

Oh, but it's super loud.

[Eddie]

It's a big muffler. Space is a big muffler.

[Robert Smigel]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Scientists estimate only 5 to 10% of cancer is caused by genes. Cancer mostly comes from a combination of our environment, lifestyle, getting older, and chance. But a bad family history of cancer is a risk factor worth discussing with your doctor. But again, only around 10. That's a. That's a heavy 10.

[Amy]

That is.

[Eddie]

Don't get me wrong. But, yeah, we're eating, drinking, and.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Breathing in, and it's a big part of it, you know? All right, there you. Hey. And happier than that, the word phony comes from telephone. Since early phones had such bad quality audio, it made people's voices sound fake.

[Amy]

Oh, it sounded funny.

[Tammy]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Eddie]

Okay. Good wind on that one, then. Yeah, I like. All right, there you go. Fun Fact Friday. There's a billboard. You saw the billboard for the softball game coming up? Yeah.

[Amy]

You know, the celebrity softball game. Folds of Honor, whether they do every year, and Lunchbox and Morgan always play.

[Eddie]

You guys playing?

[Morgan]

I don't think we're playing this year.

[Amy]

Oh, why not?

[Lunchbox]

Still dicey, man.

[Eddie]

Oh, that wasn't why he was bringing this up. 100.

[Lunchbox]

It was.

[Amy]

No, it wasn't.

[Eddie]

No, it literally wasn't. He didn't know if you were playing or not.

[Lunchbox]

Then why would he bring it up?

[Eddie]

The honest reason is he was going to say you weren't on the billboard. He just expected you were playing.

[Amy]

Yeah, there were people on the billboard, but you were not one of them. So I was going to make fun of you for that, but you always play.

[Eddie]

Yeah. What happened?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm not sure, man. I was looking at their Instagram the other day, and they were announcing lineups, and I have not seen my name on there.

[Eddie]

Wait, did you get asked to play?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

Well, then you wouldn't see your name on there.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. But I thought that was their way of saying who they were asking to play. Like, this is.

[Eddie]

Oh, no, they would never just.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, they did. They even had a dream draft of People We Dream would say yes, and they didn't have Me on there either.

[Amy]

But Lunchbox, how. How many years have you played this in a row?

[Lunchbox]

A lot, man.

[Eddie]

But don't you fight with. It's a charity and don't you fight with them every year?

[Lunchbox]

I don't fight with them, I'm just annoyed with them.

[Amy]

Annoyed at what?

[Lunchbox]

That they. This is how I get treated. Like I don't get asked. I'm like every once in a while I'm a last minute fill in. But I have not heard a peep from folds of honor this year. Like nothing. Morgan and I, we hold their. We. Their big winner thing. What is it? Winner formal to raise money where the host MCs softball comes around and all of a sudden their email doesn't work.

[Eddie]

Do you email them? You emailed them?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm saying they, it obviously didn't work because they didn't send me anything. Oh, they didn't reach out?

[Eddie]

No. We didn't know that you hadn't been invited to play. He was literally going to be like, you play every year. Why don't they put you as a celebrity?

[Amy]

Right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Lunchbox is such a big celebrity. Why is he not on the billboard?

[Lunchbox]

If you go to their Instagram, they have all these player cards of like the people playing.

[Eddie]

Why did you fight with them?

[Lunchbox]

Last year I got, I was a replacement. Like at the very end. They're like, oh, you know, so and so canceled. You want to play?

[Eddie]

Maybe you'll be that this year.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I feel like I've earned the spot of not being a replacement. I feel like I should be there.

[Eddie]

Maybe if Yoda boy doesn't play, you'll get asked, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's pretty rough. Like right now they have Matt Best up there. Ashley Cook, Danae Hayes, Riley Green, Jay Cutler.

[Amy]

Yeah, they were all in the building.

[Eddie]

All those are famous people.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know. I'm just saying I don't know who

[Eddie]

Matt Best is, but I don't know who Matt Best is either. Better. But if you told me, I'd be like, that's cool.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But I mean they have all this stuff up there.

[Eddie]

What were you fighting about the year before?

[Lunchbox]

The year before they wanted me to be the PA announcer.

[Eddie]

Like that was your chance to make a tape for your dream job.

[Lunchbox]

Announcer. I'm sorry, not, not, not whatever it's called. It was more like in between innings, trying to hype up.

[Amy]

Hey guys.

[Eddie]

Woo.

[Lunchbox]

Down here with Riley Green. Riley, how's the game going?

[Eddie]

I'm like, no, you want to do that?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm not doing that I'm there to play.

[Amy]

You think they were mad at you for turning that down?

[Lunchbox]

Probably.

[Eddie]

Did you ever get to play that game?

[Lunchbox]

I did.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

They were like, oh, but you get announced and play. And I'm like, no, no, I need to be playing.

[Eddie]

Did you go one year and you didn't have a jersey or something?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I went and I showed up and there was no jersey, no nothing there. Oh, let us go get you a jersey. Very. Everybody had a nice setup with their name and, like, a gift bag and. You know what I mean? Like, nothing. I didn't even have a locker.

[Amy]

You guys have lockers?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, that's what he didn't. I'm saying they had it basically set up like everybody had a locker and mine. There was nothing like, oh, let me find out what team you're on. They went and grabbed me a jersey out of the back.

[Eddie]

It was like, so this has been happening for years, and finally it's just elevated to, you're not invited.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, they just posted Priscilla Block. She'll be there right now.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

What about Morgan? Like, is Morgan. Same.

[Eddie]

Like, did you get invited, Morgan?

[Morgan]

I didn't, and I kind of anticipate we played for several years. So I think they've been trying to switch out with some more celebrities and not have the same people every year. So I kind of felt it coming.

[Lunchbox]

I'm pretty sure Riley Green's been there every year.

[Morgan]

Well.

[Tammy]

Well, he's really good and he's famous.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Tammy]

And he's probably a really good athlete.

[Morgan]

He's also one of the captains every year.

[Amy]

So, Amy, you think that matters that

[Eddie]

a good athlete Lunchbox has a testicle? Lots of.

[Lunchbox]

Not even to walk.

[Eddie]

And he's upset that he can't play in the softball game, I think.

[Tammy]

Of course it matters. You're a good athlete. Doesn't it?

[Amy]

It does.

[Eddie]

Maybe they've heard your testicle story and they thought, we don't want to bother him, man.

[Lunchbox]

No, they know better.

[Eddie]

Is there anything you want to say to the people organizing the softball game?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, the disrespect is felt. It is felt. I mean, it hurts, it's emotional, but, you know, what can you do?

[Eddie]

Move on.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wait, did I make a picture on their Instagram? Is that me? That looks like.

[Eddie]

Where? Maybe that's an invite more.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we're both right there.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It's blurry, though.

[Amy]

That's you in the crowd.

[Eddie]

That's basically an invitation.

[Lunchbox]

I know. They're showing a picture of. I think It's Chase Rice in the background over there standing there. And I'm saying safe.

[Amy]

But you're still gonna do the formal, right?

[Lunchbox]

The what?

[Amy]

The winter formal thing when you do the.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'm probably busy, man.

[Eddie]

Oh, your email don't work.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, my email does not work that time. Yes.

[Eddie]

If they ask you to be a last minute fill in, will you on record?

[Lunchbox]

That's gonna be a tough choice, man.

[Eddie]

On record. I'll probably do it. You probably would do it. Okay. You probably still do it.

[Lunchbox]

There you go.

[Eddie]

Wake up, wake up in the morning. Trying to put you through M riding his wigs. Next bit now. Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby. And now the morning Corny. The morning Corny.

[Tammy]

What do you call a pirate robot?

[Eddie]

What do you call a pirate robot?

[Tammy]

R2D2. R2D2.

[Morgan]

All right,

[Eddie]

That was the morning corny.

[Tammy]

Felt pretty good about that one.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like maybe. What do you call a pirate on Star Wars? R2D2. Oh, I either work. Either work.

[Tammy]

I. I see.

[Eddie]

I just am not in Star Wars Guy. I needed you to put that on the nose for me.

[Tammy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

The other one's C3PO. C P3O C3PO. C3.

[Tammy]

Is that another robot?

[Eddie]

One small and goes.

[Amy]

And I don't mean to nerd out, but they're called droids, guys.

[Eddie]

Oh, sorry, dude.

[Tammy]

Okay, so like, really the joke should

[Eddie]

be we're just not nerd. I wasn't nerdy enough to get it.

[Tammy]

What do you call a pirate droid on the Star wars ship?

[Eddie]

What?

[Morgan]

R2D2.

[Amy]

There we go.

[Eddie]

How's that one? Any good?

[Amy]

That's really good.

[Eddie]

Okay, Bones. Mom, can I have Lingokids? Dad? Lingokids, please.

[Amy]

When did we become the Lingokids house?

[Eddie]

No idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Last week it was dinosaurs.

[Morgan]

This week it was Lingokids.

[Eddie]

Why Lingokids?

[Tammy]

Because it's the best thing ever.

[Eddie]

We can play games with astronauts, wild animals and superheroes.

[Dakota]

With more than 4,000 interactive games, songs

[Eddie]

and shows, LingoKids is the number one entertainment platform for young kids.

[Morgan]

[Dakota]

My mother in law spent years sabotaging our relationship until Karma made her pay for it.

[Morgan]

Wait a minute, Dakota, how bad did it get?

[Dakota]

Well, it got bad enough that her son in law had to eventually arrest her himself. Oh, she moved in for two weeks, lasted for five. She left nail clippings in the bathtub, Candy st the furniture and then she pressed her ear against the bedroom door and burst in screaming.

[Morgan]

She did not burst in while they were.

[Eddie]

She did.

[Dakota]

They kicked her out and paid for her hotel and they thought it's finally over. Days later she called her son in law at work claiming that his partner had been in some kind of freak accident and had been rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. He called every hospital in the city and his partner was making coffee the entire time.

[Morgan]

She faked a medical emergency just to test whether or not he loved her son.

[Dakota]

[Bobby Bones]

The same way you don't ruin movies. And T, could you apply that same principle to podcasts? I had not yet listened to Love Trapped. I was saving it as I'm traveling now. It's been ruined for me. So just ask him.

[Morgan]

That'd be great.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Tammy]

There's no way it's ruined.

[Eddie]

It's not ruined. You literally just gave the concept.

[Tammy]

I did listen. And with it, with the point in which I talked about it, I had only listened to episode one, and from everything that I heard from people, they're like, just wait. So I didn't get. You still have episodes 2, 3, 4.

[Eddie]

No, you literally just said what it was about, which is said. That's why you go and listen to the podcast. It's about a dude who's on the Bachelor and he, like, makes out with this girl. And this girl's like, I'm pregnant with your baby. And he's like, well, we didn't do it. And she's like, nope, I'm pregnant. That's the concept. That's why you jump in. I'll. I got you back on this one.

[Tammy]

Oh, thank you.

[Eddie]

Yes. You did not spoil anything. You didn't have the knowledge to spoil anything.

[Tammy]

That's what I. That's exactly. That's my defense. Like, I would probably agree with her. Like, oh, she would have probably said too much. But there's no way I could have said too much because I hadn't even completely completed the podcast.

[Eddie]

Yes. Have you now?

[Tammy]

No.

[Eddie]

Okay, say no more.

[Amy]

You're clear.

[Eddie]

All right, next one.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, guys. Just calling to see if there is a follow up on Scuba Steve doing that sprint. He said he was as fast as a football player. I believe it was him.

[Morgan]

And I just wanted to see if that actually happened.

[Bobby Bones]

And what was the result? Love the show.

[Eddie]

No. Scuba had.

[Lunchbox]

But that's been like six months.

[Eddie]

And then it turns out he was fine. He did claim he could beat a 5.040.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like a NFL lineman.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They're not athletic.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he never ran because he said he was injured. Where are you now? I feel like now I'm physically ready to take the challenge if you have an excuse. No, I have no excuses. Let's do it. Okay. The only excuse is I run so fast, I'm afraid to stop.

[Amy]

Like, forest.

[Eddie]

It's hard to stop. Also thinks if he had a dad growing up, he could have. He could have been in the NBA. The confidence.

[Amy]

Like I look at my son now

[Eddie]

and I give him the confidence and he's really, really good at sports. There were a lot of, there are a lot of players now that didn't have dads in the NBA.

[Lunchbox]

Lot. LeBron.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

They maybe had different motivation. I had. No, I had lack of motivation and support. But you could have been in the NBA easily with the support of a father.

[Robert Smigel]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

How tall are you? Six foot tall. Okay. Hey, Mugsy bugs, spud web. Five foot three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anomalies. Yeah, I could have been anomalies. How, how tall? Said they were five foot three.

[Amy]

No, they weren't that short.

[Eddie]

I thought they were. Hey, spud was probably 5 6, right? No, 5 3. Mugsy bugs and spud Web maybe. Right. Those are the two. Mugsy was five, three. Good job, Scuba. What's how, what was spot web? I can tell you 5 foot 3. Atlanta Hawks Spud Web Height 5 6. Okay. I was right about that. All right, we'll do it. Thank you for the voicemails. Hit us up 877-77. Bobby, I think we're getting closer to schools going to four day school weeks. I want to tell you why in just a second. You guys don't like that?

[Amy]

Not good.

[Tammy]

Well, I mean unless there's going to be four day work weeks, that's difficult for a lot of parents.

[Eddie]

We're gonna do all that segment. Yeah, this is a tease.

[Tammy]

Oh, my bad.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're just gonna start talking about it right now. We're just saying what's coming up. Here's what's coming up, guys. We'll get to that and more. Next. I want to talk about four day school weeks and GMA had this story. More schools are doing it. It's in the really the experimentation phase. But hit that clip.

[Bobby Bones]

Arizona now the latest state where some schools are adopting a four day week instead of five. So for example, one high school in Tucson says its school day next year will run longer on Mondays through Thursdays. On Friday there won't be any class. The school says that students can get one on one help on Fridays or use the day to get a part time job. There are now more than 2,000 schools in 26 states that are on a similar four day schedule. Most of the time this is in rural communities. The idea here is that schools can save on operating costs. They can boost attendance and help reduce teacher burnout.

[Eddie]

So there you have that. There are countries in Europe, they're doing four day work weeks and they have seen that the Efficiency and the amount of work that's getting done is elevated across the board, which is great. Schools are doing this. What's important is it's high schools doing it, not elementary schools.

[Amy]

Oh, that's different.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because if an elementary school, you get going four days and your parents got to work five days, you got nowhere. Our culture, what we've been built on, societal, is a five day work week. We're going to work five days, they're going to school five days. It's high schools where kids have cars or the ability to have a car. I can call an Uber now.

[Amy]

Yeah, they have a job.

[Eddie]

Job. Yes. So that's why it's only high schools. But thoughts?

[Tammy]

I mean, high schoolers can. They're more independent so they can take care of themselves. I feel like if they're finding that this is productive for the kids, then great, maybe it gives them an opportunity to get a job.

[Eddie]

And that's one part of it. They can work a little more on Friday, but then also you can still use that day. It's almost like a teacher in service day. Remember those? They'd say that crap. You'd be like, yeah, what are they doing?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So if you need help, you can go on a Friday and get it. Oh, that's cool, that type thing. But I'm gonna tell you, if you play football, you still gotta practice. Yes. Basketball, you're still practicing. Yeah, you're never getting out of that. So there's that. Next up is this guy, Michael Sahidi Fitness. And we were talking about this on the show where I hope that my wife and I's daughter. Baby. That gets my wife's athletic ability, I hope she gets everything from my wife. Athletic ability, intelligence. I hope that she gets for me the ability to pick a good partner. Oh, that would be the ability that I would like to pass down. Yes.

[Amy]

Because you nailed that one.

[Eddie]

And so, you know, if my daughter decides she wants to be an athlete because my wife is an exceptional athlete, I would love. Selfishly, I would love that. And so they were talking about where the genes come from, from the mom or the dad. When it's athletics. Hit that clip. Most of the athletic ability that's passed on to children is actually from the mom, not the father. You get a lot of your height genetics from the dad, but you get majority of your athletic ability from your mom. This is your VO2 max, your muscular endurance and your aerobic capacity as well.

[Tammy]

Hallelujah.

[Amy]

Great.

[Eddie]

Like I ended up being a decent athlete as I got older, but a Lot of that was because I played smarter. My wife is just hand eye coordination. Runs fast, throws hard, like that would be. And we have coaches in our family. Yeah, that would just be great. Except now we're gonna. The pressure is gonna be like, eventually, dj, like, you need to give our daughter a scholarship.

[Amy]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's true.

[Eddie]

Because he's a D1 softball coach. His mom's head coach in Oklahoma. It's like, Patty, what are we looking at here? You know what I mean? Let's get an offer in there. So there's that. I have this. Amy, if you were to have an instant incident where you go into cardiac arrest, where would be the best place to be?

[Tammy]

Your house?

[Eddie]

Oh, no. Okay. Oh, you have a little interesting.

[Tammy]

You have.

[Eddie]

Oh, my house specifically.

[Tammy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Don't you have a. I do have a defibrillator. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

Bobby got a defibrillator for baby Billy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, for anybody.

[Tammy]

But I mean, you got it because you were having a baby.

[Eddie]

Yes. And they said if you have a pole, you should probably also have one of these.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

But really what I was leaning towards is this CPR instructor went into cardiac arrest during a CPR lesson.

[Tammy]

Oh, that's the perfect place.

[Eddie]

This is from ABC World News. During their CPR lesson, Mr. Arpst was acting out chest pains when all of the sudden he started going into cardiac arrest himself. Inside their school's ambulance that they use for practice. The students immediately recognized the signs that they'd been taught by Mr. Arpst. Realizing this was not a drill, performing CPR using a defibrillator, first responders then racing him to the hospital, he would undergo open heart surgery and he would survive. I mean, shout out him. Shout out those kids. However, I ain't believe in it.

[Lunchbox]

Look at him

[Eddie]

like he's doing the actual class to teach them. He's like, oh, yeah. I'm like, man, that's a good teacher.

[Tammy]

Like, method acting like he's.

[Eddie]

They saved him.

[Tammy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

That.

[Tammy]

It's sort of like, you know. Have you heard of acting as if.

[Eddie]

Give me it.

[Tammy]

Okay. So like, if you normally you use it in a sense of like, if there's something you want to do, career wise, act as if you're already doing it. And you're. You're more likely to. To get there because it interrupts any self doubt or things that you have. Like, act as if, like, that's how

[Eddie]

you had a heart attack.

[Tammy]

This is my show. I know. This is sort of like, remind me of that. Of like, he's that one no, no, no. He needed to have it, right? Like his body was on his way. He was gonna have it. So he, he was acting as if. And then it just, just bam. It happened. But it happened at such a perfect time.

[Eddie]

The fact that they have a, I guess, fake but practice ambulance. Yeah, that's cool. That's a school with some funding. Like shout out to the funding there. It could be parents. It could be like. That's what I hear.

[Amy]

That's really cool.

[Eddie]

It's like they're actually teaching kids life lessons and how to save people's lives. Not trigonometry, which. What the crap are we using that for, right?

[Tammy]

Well, some people are.

[Eddie]

If you're going to specialize in math, what a dumb thing to learn. If you're never gonna do math, you know, Teach me how to balance a banking checking account and never learn that stuff.

[Tammy]

Yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

How to deal with scammers.

[Eddie]

Like, yeah, yeah. But now that'd be a good class.

[Tammy]

Definitely.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So I have another one here. Texas dad fatally shoots a carjacker who tried to steal his car with his family inside.

[Lunchbox]

That video is nuts.

[Amy]

I saw the video.

[Eddie]

Shout out, dad. A suspect. A carjacker was fatally shot by a Texas father Sunday after allegedly trying to steal the man's car with his family, including several young children. Police said the suspect had just fled a multi vehicle crash near Highway 66 outside Dallas and attempted to forcefully take several vehicles before confronting the family in a shopping center parking lot. Surveillance video showed the suspect struggling with the father, driver, side door. As the children and two women escaped from the car. During the confrontation, the father pulled out a firearm and fired more than 10 shots.

[Tammy]

Oh, my.

[Eddie]

Authorities said the family was unharmed. New York Post.

[Amy]

Yeah, he picked the wrong dad.

[Eddie]

Like, you know, it's gonna be a tougher ride to carjack something in Texas, in Florida, in Tennessee. Or you can just open. It's just. You just don't know. Like, you don't know anyway who's got a gun. But if you're in those states, Montana, odds are a lot more that you may get popped. Yeah. And ain't nobody mad at his dad. And nor should they be. No. There's a carjacking with a shooting at the Chick Fil A right now. Like our Chick Fil A. So a guy tried to steal a car and then the guy. What happened?

[Tammy]

The delivery driver.

[Amy]

Delivery driver's coming back to his car, picking up a food order. And when he's getting in his car, somebody tried to carjack the car and yeah, they both had guns. It was like a gunfight.

[Eddie]

Dude, that's crazy.

[Amy]

But then the. The dry. The Uber guy, whatever. He's the one that ended up killing the. The carjacker. Crazy, man. Why are people stealing cars?

[Tammy]

Did we find out if the family still got their Chick fil A order?

[Amy]

You know that wasn't in the story.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, great question. Did it ever get delivered?

[Eddie]

Or maybe we just never got to that paragraph because we're so blown away by the top part of it. I wonder if they even knew that that story was their chick. Because me, I'm at home going, they're 40 minutes late. I'm starving. Where's my food? And I'm writing a review. 45 minutes late. The poor dude was in a gunfight. Yeah, that's a crazy one. Shout out to that dad. You know, he did not wake up that morning thinking he's gonna have to shoot somebody.

[Tammy]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

And protecting his family.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Tampa, Florida. A 34 year old man was walking around, he sees a car running, keys in it, no one in the car. He's like, man, I'm stealing that car. Takes the car, and he's driving, but he needs directions. So where does he stop for directions?

[Eddie]

No, don't say it.

[Lunchbox]

The sheriff's office.

[Eddie]

That was.

[Lunchbox]

And they have license plate readers that came back as stolen, of course.

[Tammy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

You shouldn't steal. But why not a gas station, right? Anywhere but somebody walking down the road. Anywhere but a sheriff.

[Lunchbox]

And then I gets arrested for stealing the car.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Eddie]

And he's drunk.

[Lunchbox]

No, he wasn't drunk.

[Eddie]

He wasn't drunk. And he stopped and asked the sheriff. I just assume they were.

[Tammy]

Maybe he didn't think they were going to pay attention to his car.

[Eddie]

He's got to be drunk. They just didn't test him.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day, Bones.

[Eddie]

These twins discovered in their mid-40s that they had different fathers.

[Tammy]

How is that possible?

[Lunchbox]

You can get pregnant with two babies at one time.

[Eddie]

It's extremely rare. Like you're talking about. So rare is called heteropaternal super fecundation.

[Tammy]

So she has.

[Eddie]

It's fewer than 20 times worldwide this has ever happened. So this is. This is, like, less than rare that this happens. But they obviously believe they had the same father. And so they just did their life. And they got older and they started to have questions, like everybody does. Like, let's just do one of those tests and see, like, who we're related to. And so they did that and they're technically half sisters.

[Amy]

That's so sad.

[Eddie]

So I. It doesn't say in the story from the Guardian, but I'm gonna guess, I mean, yeah, the mom.

[Tammy]

Right.

[Eddie]

Probably got it on quick with two dudes.

[Amy]

Right? But I mean, I think she.

[Tammy]

Does this mean she has to have two uteri?

[Eddie]

It doesn't say that here, but I don't know.

[Amy]

And I wish I knew. Like.

[Eddie]

Like, what was the situation?

[Amy]

Was she already married? And then, like, maybe it was.

[Eddie]

Maybe at the same time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That's crazy. And the poor daughter, she had no idea who her dad was this whole time.

[Eddie]

Well, she did. She was just wrong.

[Amy]

Just wrong.

[Lunchbox]

Different dude.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Dang.

[Eddie]

So that's a tough one. And what if you're the daughter who realizes that you both thought this was your dad, but you're the one that doesn't have that dad.

[Amy]

Right.

[Eddie]

That sucks.

[Amy]

Do you go looking for dad?

[Tammy]

Yeah, maybe I would.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Tammy]

A lot of questions because not everybody might want to do that, but I would.

[Eddie]

That's really sad. It's also just crazy. Bizarre. Crazy bizarre.

[Tammy]

And then you're like, mom.

[Eddie]

I know. Like, was it at the same time? Was it with it? Like, what's the story?

[Amy]

It'd have been close.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Had to have been. There's that. We're done. Hope everybody has a great day and a great weekend. Mother's Day's on Sunday. Just a last minute reminder there. And that's it.
