Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. Easy Trivia Showdown

Timestamps: 02:46–12:19

• Game Format: Friendly, quick-fire trivia competition among show regulars (Eddie, Amy, Morgan, Abby, Lunchbox) over categories like “Yellow Things,” “2000s Country,” “2010s Pop Culture,” and more.
• Fun Highlights:
  • Amy struggles hilariously to name the cocker spaniel in “Lady and the Tramp” (“Springer Spaniel… How do I say it? Stinger spring… Spaniard…”) [10:44–11:29]
  • Abby blanking on Jackie Robinson’s name, prompting Bobby: “I feel like I’m saving her life when I jump in.” [06:27–06:38]
• Result: Eddie crowned trivia champ for the second time this season.

---

2. Destination Wedding Gifts: Should You Buy One?

Timestamps: 12:32–14:49

• Anonymous Listener Question: Is it rude to attend a destination wedding and skip giving a gift due to high travel costs?
• Bobby’s Take:

  "People don't realize when you don't get them gifts... They're never going to notice if you don't tell them you didn't do it." [13:18]

  • He likens it to announcing breaks from social media: "Nope. We don't notice when you don't post." [13:23]
• Consensus: If costs are high, skip the gift quietly—there’s no need to draw attention.

---

3. Amy’s Controversial New Game: "Which Coach Would You Date?"

Timestamps: 19:33–24:32

• Amy ages out of picking quarterbacks due to the generational gap and pivots to ranking which football coaches she’d date based solely on live televised impressions each week.
• Memorable Exchanges:
  • Amy: “The quarterbacks are too young, but the coaches are too old... Except for Marcus Freeman.” [22:15]
  • Bobby (about Marcus Freeman): “He’s only 39 though, so you’d be robbing the cradle. That’s a cradle I wouldn’t mind robbing.” [23:13]
• Purpose: Mostly for laughs; not serious. Amy promises to report back Monday with her findings.

---

4. Viral & Odd Wedding Stories

Timestamps: 35:16–41:07

• Bridal Shower Invite Etiquette: Is it rude to invite people to a bridal shower but not the wedding? [35:16]
  • Team agrees: Only acceptable if the wedding is immediate-family-only; otherwise, it looks greedy.
• Wedding NDAs: Stories of brides making friends sign NDAs before parties. General reaction: Whoa, what’s happening at these parties!? (Bobby: “If a dude was like, hey, you’re coming to my bachelor party, you have to sign an NDA, I’m like, oh, you’re about to hire… it’s about to get dirty.”) [37:25]
• Wedding Crasher Steals $60,000 in Gifts: A thief posing as a guest swipes the gift box, blending in so well that no one suspects—an audio package from ABC News. [38:22–40:09]
  • “Hard to be an extra-friendly… that’s the guy that stole all the stuff!” [40:09]

---

5. The All-Time Worst Romance Scam

Timestamps: 44:26–47:36

• Story: An 80-year-old woman is conned out of $6,700 by an online scammer claiming to be an “astronaut,” low on oxygen, and in dire need of money to buy more so he won’t “die in space”.
• Bobby’s Take:

  “If an astronaut reaches out and says he needs oxygen or he’s gonna die and he’s your online lover, it’s a scam.” [47:22]

• Mixed Feelings: The group feels bad but can’t help but marvel at the absurdity.

---

6. Good News & Fun Facts

Timestamps: 24:41–30:57

• Heartwarming News:
  • A Southwest pilot dad surprises his daughter by flying her home from her honeymoon. [24:41]
  • iPhone 14 crash detection saves a teen trapped under her car. [41:16]
• Fun Fact Friday: Did you know Mars is shaped more like a rugby ball and not actually round? The phrase “knock on wood” comes from the ancient Celts’ belief in tree spirits. [28:23–29:42]
• Playful banter about bizarre museums—a museum of failures in Sweden, and a “wiener museum” in Iceland.

---

7. The Morning Corny & Quirky Show Jokes

Timestamps: 43:35–44:26

• Q: What happens when a ghost drinks booze?
• A: They get “cheat-faced.”
  • Bobby: “Scuba, we let it live.”
  • The cast debates the appropriateness, referencing old commercials and playful double entendres.

---

8. Side Banter and Personal Updates

[Bobby Bones]

There's A question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My friend is having a destination wedding and it's costing me and my boyfriend a ton just to get there. Because of that, I don't want to get a gift. Is it in bad taste to tell a friend who is having a destination wedding that you can come to the wedding, but you won't be able to give them a gift? Bobby, what would you expect as a gift from friends if you had a destination wedding signed, Traveling abroad for a wedding. So I have a hot take on destination weddings that are just weddings in general. People don't realize when you don't get them gifts.

[Morgan Tubes]

Oh, yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Just don't tell them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a. It doesn't matter what wedding it is. Destination wedding, normal wedding. If, like, you're like, I don't want to get them a gift. I can't afford to get them a gift. I don't know what to get them. Maybe I'll do it. They're never going to notice if you don't tell them that you didn't do it. It's like somebody who gets on social media to go, hey, everybody, I'm gonna take a break from social media for a while. And I know you're used to seeing me post. Nope. We don't notice when you don't post. Or it's like, I'm back on social media after a month. Just. Just be back. We don't notice when you don't post. We're not gonna notice when you don't buy us a gift. If it's somebody very, very close. If you're like in that upper, upper, upper tier. But also. Now let's just go to the destination wedding thing. If I'm making people pay to get to my wedding, I have a much less expectation of what they're going to get as a gift anyway.

[Morgan Tubes]

For sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Actually, if you're paying for your own, I think I'm going to write, don't worry about a gift. Just you paying to get out here. That's gift alone. So I'm on your side. I don't think you tell them, I'm not going to get you a gift. Just don't get them again.

[Morgan Tubes]

Let it slide.

[Bobby Bones]

They're not going to notice. There will be fewer people at the wedding because it is destination wedding.

[Morgan Tubes]

So when they are doing thank you notes, they possibly could notice.

[Bobby Bones]

They possibly could go, you know, never got me anything. But they're not going to care. Yeah, they're not going to care.

[Morgan Tubes]

So, and if they do. That's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Then they're not even worth traveling for a destination wedding for to begin with.

[Morgan Tubes]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

No need to get them a gift. If for any reason it feels uncomfortable to get them a gift, they're not going to notice.

[Morgan Tubes]

And no need to disclose it.

[Bobby Bones]

And no need to disclose when you're taking a break from social media. We don't notice.

[Morgan Tubes]

Or what about when you're coming back again?

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't notice. There you go. Thank you. Close it up.

[Morgan Tubes]

This Disney cruise got me feeling like a queen.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

We can get massages at Sense's spa, have a meet and greet with Black Panther.

[Morgan Tubes]

[Sarah Spain]

Thing and do it well all day.

[Bobby Bones]

Disney Cruise Line is where we came to play.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I think hair is a complex language system, right?

[Morgan Tubes]

In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual belief.

[Sarah Spain]

But I think with social media, there's.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

Like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post.

[Bobby Bones]

Or a reel is how our hair is styled.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Sarah Spain]

Get fired up, y'.

[Bobby Bones]

All.

[Sarah Spain]

Season 2 of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway. We just welcomed one of my favorite people and an incomparable soccer icon, Megan Rapinoe to the show. And we had a. We talked about her recent 40th birthday celebrations, Co hosting a podcast with her fiance, sue, bird watching former teammates retire and more. Never a dull moment with Pino. Take a listen. What do you miss the most about being a pro athlete?

[Morgan Tubes]

The final.

[Sarah Spain]

The final and the locker room. I really, really like you. Just, you can't replicate. You can't get back. Showing up to the locker room every morning just to talk. We've got more incredible guests like the legendary Candace Parker and college superstar Az Foot. I mean, seriously, y', all, the guest list is absolutely stacked for season two. And you know, we're always going to keep you up to speed on all the news and happenings around the women's sports world as well. So make sure you listen to Good Game with Sarah Spain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan Tubes]

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills, and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face when you think about emotion regulation. Like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you. Because it's easy to say like. Like you go blank yourself.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to the Psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Big weekend. First NFL full weekend games last night. But my Panthers are playing the Jaguars.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

[Amy]

That's so weird. My Panthers.

[Bobby Bones]

A lifelong fan. I know my favorite thing about football this year is Amy's new game. She's going to play with us, though, every week because for a long time she was playing. Which quarterback would you date?

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's aged out of that game. Oh, boy.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the one that told us you aged out.

[Morgan Tubes]

We're inching towards mid-40s, and I think it's time we move on to which coach would you date?

[Bobby Bones]

So which coach would you do?

[Morgan Tubes]

So when she comes back on Monday feels more appropriate.

[Bobby Bones]

You'll be letting us know through your experience of watching any of the games?

[Morgan Tubes]

Games, Yeah. I mean, the only time it. We might still be able to play quarterback is NFL, and that's a.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe let's just go with which coach. Like, that's the new version of the game.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're not going to watch all the games. You may only catch a couple. And by the way, for everybody listening that wants to get mad at this game, it is not real.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah. I'm not like, really? Because they can be married. Like, I have a boyfriend. They might have kids. Like, this is not. It's just like. Let's assess the situation. We got two coaches, two head coaches. We're not going to do, like, you know, linebacker, coach, or defense.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. What other coaches are there, do you think?

[Morgan Tubes]

I have no idea, obviously.

[Amy]

Now, keep going.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Like, what are the coaches?

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay, there's head coach.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. And who. Who's under the head coach? There are two coaches.

[Morgan Tubes]

Assistant coach.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead. No.

[Morgan Tubes]

Is that not right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Let's go more of the coordinator.

[Morgan Tubes]

Coordinator.

[Bobby Bones]

They're like three coordinators.

[Morgan Tubes]

Offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator.

[Bobby Bones]

There's one other coordinator.

[Morgan Tubes]

Kicker.

[Bobby Bones]

You're there, you're there.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

A kicker is a.

[Morgan Tubes]

A field goal, a kicker and a punter.

[Bobby Bones]

They're both considered part of the kicking team. Special teams.

[Morgan Tubes]

Special teams. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then. Then there are position coaches.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, like I said.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like you said, of course.

[Morgan Tubes]

Linebacker.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So. But any coaches. I'd like a ranking list of who it was.

[Morgan Tubes]

We're just gonna do head coach, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Head coaches.

[Morgan Tubes]

Head coach versus head coach.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you should play them straight up because those will be easy, but I think you should have a ranking system of who you saw over the weekend.

[Morgan Tubes]

Oh, okay.

[Amy]

Is this college and NFL?

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything. Any game she comes across. Wow. Yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

Any game.

[Bobby Bones]

It's weirder because last week North Carolina got whooped. Right. It was weirder to See, the Bill Belichick, Jordan Hudson thing, like, in real life, It's. It's weird. Anyway, he's 70, she's 24. Whatever.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay, for the sake of this. Who did they play?

[Bobby Bones]

Tcu.

[Morgan Tubes]

And that coaches. Tcu, right?

[Amy]

Sunny Dice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

Football coach. Like, just to give you.

[Bobby Bones]

You would have picked Sunny Dykes for sure.

[Morgan Tubes]

I already knew. Like, I can't. I already knew, but I just. I just wanted to see, like, Sonny, he. He's a little.

[Bobby Bones]

This.

[Morgan Tubes]

This is the thing, though. Now it's like, gosh, the quarterbacks are too young, but the coaches are too old. Except for.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that's the case. I have Sonny docs his age. He's got to be in his 60s.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, he looks older, but he's 55.

[Amy]

I mean, you're not opposed to dating.

[Bobby Bones]

He's 55. How old's your boyfriend?

[Morgan Tubes]

52.

[Bobby Bones]

He probably knows Sunny Dice. It's like, when anybody meets anyone from Arkansas, they're like, hey, do you know this person? I'm like, you know Arkansas's big state.

[Morgan Tubes]

That's true. Okay, well, you know, some people look older than their age then.

[Bobby Bones]

Sony dogs. Actually looks pretty good.

[Morgan Tubes]

We met, like, I'm sure he's a great guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

Who's the Notre Dame coach?

[Bobby Bones]

You like him?

[Morgan Tubes]

He's hot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Marcus Freeman.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd like him a lot.

[Morgan Tubes]

No, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Morgan Tubes]

He'd win. Like, I don't care who they're playing.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so he's already number one. Right. But save your list for now. Don't even share. But anybody you see over the weekend, come tiered in. He's only 39, though, so you'd be robbing the cradle. That's a cradle I wouldn't mind. Robin.

[Morgan Tubes]

I'm like, yes, okay. He is so cute.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan Tubes]

He'd win. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't go Google search. You have to actually see them on television.

[Morgan Tubes]

I. I know him from the sidelines. That game I watched.

[Bobby Bones]

But the game hasn't started yet. It only starts when you see them starting this weekend.

[Morgan Tubes]

No, Marcus Freeman. Didn't know his name, but he's actually the inspiration behind the pivot. Because I knew after I saw him, I'm like, oh, this is giving me an idea. Because quarterback's feeling creepy. Coach is not. So shout out Marcus Riemann for the idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he's going to be on 25 whistles either this week or next week. Let me tell him.

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, you can tell him that he is currently, like, if you're ranking. He's the top.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I ask. Can I ask just a favor on the game?

[Morgan Tubes]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you can build your list until you see them starting this weekend, play live.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, okay, but I'm. I'm basing it off of. I've watched him play live last year. I will start fresh.

[Amy]

You got to take other things into consideration, like, how are they angry on the field? You don't want to date.

[Morgan Tubes]

I absolutely agree. Like, I think I'm gonna get little stats on them, if you will.

[Bobby Bones]

So Monday, we'll check in with Amy.

[Morgan Tubes]

I'm also gonna Google, are they dating? Who are they with?

[Amy]

Why would you do that?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if you're, like, better than.

[Morgan Tubes]

Because. No, because Bill Belichick. I'd like, like, say I wanted to look him up. I'd be like, oh, I'm getting creepy vibes.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay, that's a no.

[Bobby Bones]

Which coach would you date? We'll start playing that on Monday. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Morgan Tubes]

So there's a couple, Addison and Quinn. They got married, had their honeymoon in Cancun. And Addison asked her dad, hey, when we fly back home, can you pick us up at the airport? Well, her dad took that next level because he's a pilot for Southwest, and they were flying Southwest home from Cancun. So he picked her up at the airport. All right. In a Southwest airplane. He got assigned that flight so that he could pick him up in Cancun and fly the honeymoon.

[Bobby Bones]

Different airport. He picked them up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

So I just thought that was, like, really, really sweet because she was expecting to her dad upon arrival, like, at home, and he would pick him up in a car, but he picked him up on the Southwest flight, and there was a whole video and Southwest posted online, and it went viral and just really heartwarming.

[Bobby Bones]

I love the story. Can I sidebar? I don't want to know my pilot. I don't want him on pilot to somebody I'm close to, because I'm going to know all the human parts of them that make me not believe that they are perfect in crisis situations. Oh.

[Amy]

Like, if your dad's a spacey person, I'm gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna know their faults. I don't want to know the faults of my pilot. I need to have just unwavering trust in my pilot. So I don't want to know. I think it's a sweet story. There's nothing to do with that story. I don't want to know my pilot Because I'm gonna know what triggers him, what gets him mad, what Timmy hates, when he doesn't eat, when she doesn't. All these things. I don't want to know that. I like my pilots to be just up there on a pedestal. They're perfect. They only do this, and they go to sleep and they come back and only do this. Yeah. Yeah. They have no. Yeah. So great story, though. I like it. All right. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Fun fact. I will give you a million dollars, Amy, if you can name the first athlete to ever make a million dollars in their lifetime.

[Morgan Tubes]

First athlete ever.

[Bobby Bones]

I will give you a million dollars. I'm contractually bound.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Morgan Tubes]

Gosh. When did people start making that kind of money? Was it. I. I don't know. Did they make that kind of money?

[Bobby Bones]

You're a big fan of this person.

[Morgan Tubes]

I am.

[Bobby Bones]

You?

[Morgan Tubes]

I am Michael Jordan.

[Bobby Bones]

It's shake and bake.

[Morgan Tubes]

I was thinking Michael Jordan because he had, like. Was he the first one with, like, big contracts?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, that was a big contract with Nike. First one of the big.

[Morgan Tubes]

No. Okay, but.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm gonna remove the money.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're a massive fan of this person. I'm surprised you didn't guess it.

[Morgan Tubes]

I am a massive fan of this person.

[Bobby Bones]

The first athlete in the US to ever earn a million dollars in a lifetime.

[Morgan Tubes]

Are you being facetious?

[Bobby Bones]

Obviously, it was bare knuckle. Bare knuckle boxer John l. Sullivan in 1882.

[Morgan Tubes]

Oh, yeah, we're gonna get that. Huge fan. 18 what?

[Bobby Bones]

1882. Bare knuckle.

[Amy]

Million dollars.

[Morgan Tubes]

He made a million. Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Over his lifetime. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's my first fun fact. What do you got?

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay, so there's this museum in Sweden dedicated entirely to failures. It's called the Museum of Failure. And they have all these failed products and innovations from around the world. And the purpose is to celebrate learning potential in failure.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just me at different parts of my career. It's like nine different exhibits of me just bombing my face off. Yeah. I went to a museum in Iceland that was all wieners.

[Amy]

A wiener museum?

[Bobby Bones]

Actually wasn't called that, but yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Why'd you go there?

[Morgan Tubes]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Because I was by myself and it was free, but like.

[Morgan Tubes]

But was it art or actual, like, animals and.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a whole thing.

[Amy]

I've never heard of such a.

[Bobby Bones]

You nine exhibits there, too, of me.

[Morgan Tubes]

You saw all the different varieties of.

[Bobby Bones]

It's pretty crazy. Yeah. Changed my life.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay.

[Better Picks Ad Voice]

Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So Mars, the planet, you know, what do you think?

[Bobby Bones]

Mars. What? The bar, just in case.

[Lunchbox]

Good point.

[Amy]

You never know.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

So Mars is not actually round. You would think it's a round ball like all the other planets, but it's not. It's shaped more like a rugby ball, they say, because it has three axises.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it has three. Wow.

[Amy]

So it wobbles different directions. Yeah, the way it kind of rotates, it wobbles a little bit. So it's like a rugby ball.

[Bobby Bones]

Earth is around. Round.

[Amy]

Stop.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not. It's a sphere.

[Amy]

Oh, well, that's what I mean. Like a ball sphere.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a ball. Yeah. But it's like stretched. It's like. It's like a football. I mean, it's not a pure football, but it's like stretched a little bit in that direction. It's around. But Mars is more than that. I didn't know it had three axis. Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Do you know what a rugby ball looks like? Yeah, that's exactly what Mars.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, Earth isn't like a basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

I would know so.

[Lunchbox]

Because I look at a globe and that looks like a basketball globe.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a perfect representation of the shape.

[Morgan Tubes]

Why wouldn't they put it in the exact.

[Amy]

That's what I'm asking for.

[Bobby Bones]

Packing retailers reasons, probably.

[Amy]

Oh. Shipping and stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

It is officially an oblate spheroid because it's pulled. It's like pulled. Wow, Morgan.

[Morgan Tubes]

So the ancient Celts believed that the spirits lived in trees. So to ask for protection or good luck, they would knock on the wood to call those spirits. That's why it's called knock on wood when you're hoping for good luck.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. I wonder where this was going. The potential to be the worst fun fact ever. But turns out it was a great one.

[Amy]

Yeah. Good, good way to turn it.

[Bobby Bones]

Good one, good one. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Humans are right handed and left handed. But did you know dogs are right Paul and left Paul? Some prefer their left paw. And you can tell if you give them a toy with like a treat in it and watch them which one they hold the toy with. Like to hold it down. That's their dominant paw.

[Amy]

That's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know that dogs don't have four legs? They have two arms and two legs?

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah. Sometimes I say arms and I feel like.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know why?

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, because when they sit up.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, okay, that works too. But it's because they only have like ACLs and MCLs in their back legs.

[Amy]

Oh, you know that. Because of Stanley.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he had surgery in Every freaking part of his body. Every part. I'll give you one more. Princess Diana and Prince Charles had only been together in person 13 times before their wedding day.

[Morgan Tubes]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's like the bachelor Bachelorette Princess President. Excuse me. Grover Cleveland was 27 years older than his wife, which isn't super crazy and creepy, especially when you consider Bill Belichick. Yeah, but he was good friends with her father. He met her shortly after she was born, and he even babysit for her while he was a child.

[Amy]

Okay, she was a child. That's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like some Twilight.

[Amy]

That's really weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That is some odd fact. Friday. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, ladies, when I said we came to play, didn't I mean it?

[Morgan Tubes]

This Disney cruise got me feeling like a queen.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

We can get massages at Sense's Spa, have a meet and greet with Black Panther.

[Morgan Tubes]

Oh, I love him.

[Bobby Bones]

And I can't wait to sunbathe on the private island. And the kids will be fine.

[Morgan Tubes]

Girl, they're good. Exactly.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

While they hang in the kids club with Mickey Mouse, we can do our.

[Sarah Spain]

Thing and do it well all day.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

Disney Cruise Line is where we came to play. I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I think hair is a complex language system, right?

[Morgan Tubes]

In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual belief.

[Sarah Spain]

But I think with social media, there's.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

Like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, Right. That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel.

[Bobby Bones]

It's how our hair is styled.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal Barnett, where we dive into Managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Sarah Spain]

Get fired up, y'.

[Bobby Bones]

All.

[Sarah Spain]

Season 2 of Good Game with Sarah Spain is underway. We just welcomed one of my favorite people and an incomparable soccer icon, Megan Rapinoe to the show, and we had a blast. We talked about her recent 40th birthday celebrations, Co hosting a podcast with her fiance, sue, bird watching, former teammates retire and more. Never a dull moment with Pino. Take a listen. What do you miss the most about being a pro athlete?

[Bobby Bones]

The final.

[Sarah Spain]

The final. And the locker room. I really, really like you. Just, you can't replicate. You can't get back. Showing up to the locker room every morning just to talk. We've got more incredible guests like the legendary Candace Parker and college superstar Az Fudd. I mean, seriously, y', all, the guest list is absolutely stacked for season two. And you know, we're always going to keep you up to speed on all the news and happenings around the women's sports world as well. So make sure you listen to Good Game with Sarah Spain on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan Tubes]

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Dr. Scott. Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills, and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face when you think about emotion, Reg. Like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it. If it's going to be beneficial to you because it's easy to say like, like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex problem solving. Meditating, you know, takes effort.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We were talking about weddings earlier. I want to play this TikTok from Megalise. Hit that.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

Is it considered rude to invite someone to your bridal shower but not to your wedding? That once happened to me, and I.

[Bobby Bones]

Was just, just like Hm. Not invite them to the wedding because.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

You can't afford them in your budget, but go ahead and send them an.

[Bobby Bones]

Invite to the shower so they can bring a gift.

[Morgan Tubes]

That's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That's weird. Yeah. I don't think you should do that because what you're saying is you don't actually make the cut, the real cut, but you make the cut enough that I'd like a gift from you.

[Morgan Tubes]

The only way I can make this make sense in my mind, how I would justify it is if I am having a very small family only wedding. Like that's it. Parents, siblings, whatever. But then my friends wanted to throw me a bridal shower and they invited a big friend group. That is the only way this makes sense. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I would say most weddings aren't that.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah. But that's how you make this make sense.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you did this, cancel everybody else coming and only have your family there, otherwise you'd look like a bad person.

[Morgan Tubes]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I would say generally. No, don't do that.

[Morgan Tubes]

You don't like a bad person. You're greedy though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Getting pretty bad. Yeah. There's another story of a woman who makes her friends sign NDAs before they start the bachelorette party. Thoughts?

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, what is about to go down?

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I think that too. I'm like, I want to see that. It's gonna be crazy. I want to get some eyes on that one.

[Morgan Tubes]

I don't want to miss out on it. But then I also want to be able to talk about it, so.

[Amy]

But if you go like, if you sign an NDA, like, it's going to be awesome. It's going to be so awesome you.

[Bobby Bones]

Can'T even talk about it or somebody's going to die and it's really bad.

[Morgan Tubes]

What if you see things you can't unsee?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, all of that is at risk if you're signing an NDA to go to a party.

[Morgan Tubes]

Right. Because I don't want to be like my eyes.

[Bobby Bones]

If a guy friend of mine was having a. I've never been to a bachelor party. I don't think.

[Morgan Tubes]

I mean your own.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm talking about. I never got invited to one cuz they would like go to the like club, the strip club. So I don't go to that.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Also maybe I'm just not fun to have places. I've never been invited to one. I'm getting sad now.

[Amy]

Well, I got married before I knew you. Really, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Not really. You did? Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

But did you have a Bachelor party.

[Amy]

Me?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, of course.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Amy]

Let me say we could have signed an NDA.

[Bobby Bones]

We probably should have if. If a dude was like, hey, you're coming to my bachelor party. You have to sign an NDA. I'm like, oh, you're about to hire. It's about to get dirty. If dudes were doing it right, with women, probably the same, but.

[Amy]

Well, how dirty does it get with women?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Morgan Tubes]

I. I have not been to anything dirty, but I'm sure with some people it could get interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

NDAs are weird.

[Morgan Tubes]

Is it maybe. Is it to protect? Like, you're about to do something so special and amazing and awesome and you don't want people bragging about it?

[Amy]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

You want people to brag about that crap.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You can go like, no phones. I've seen that before where dudes are like, no phones. Don't do an NDA.

[Amy]

And how stupid would it be like, to sign an NDA? And then nothing happens. You're like, what the. Why did we trick you?

[Bobby Bones]

NDA, by the way, is a non disclosure agreement that you can't. If you sign it, you can't talk about what. What you did.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

To anybody.

[Morgan Tubes]

What if they're having, like, someone famous pop by and they need.

[Bobby Bones]

What's he gonna do to you?

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, I don't know if he's doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything, but it's more of like, wow, NDA. That's weird.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Here. This is a story of a wedding crasher stealing $60,000 in gifts. Here you go. Hit it.

[Morgan Tubes]

A security camera has captured a wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

Crasher stealing tens of thousands of dollars in gifts intended for the bride and groom.

[Sarah Spain]

George and Nadine Farah's celebration ground to a halt when the unwanted guest ran off with her gift box full of presents and cash.

[Bobby Bones]

I ended up sitting on the dance.

[Morgan Tubes]

Floor sobbing, with my friends and cousins around me.

[Bobby Bones]

The couple estimates that the thief made off with about $60,000.

[Morgan Tubes]

Glendale police are now investigating and the.

[Sarah Spain]

Couple is offering a five thousand dollar.

[Bobby Bones]

Reward for tips that lead to an arrest. Man, that's so bold. Yeah, that's from ABC News. And they talked a bit more about how the guy blended in with the wedding guest.

[Amy]

The video shows the man here trying to blend in by passing by family members, strolling casually to the bathroom, even bellying up to the bar for a drink.

[Morgan Tubes]

He was grabbing a drink at the bar. He was mingling with guests. He was greeting people. Who's opening the door? All of this looking back at it now it's just so scary just to see.

[Amy]

Eventually grabs the box loaded with congratulation cards and money.

[Bobby Bones]

Runs.

[Amy]

No sprints down a hallway to an alley where a getaway vehicle pulls up.

[Bobby Bones]

Up like he was going. Hard to be an extra friendly.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

They go, here's some audio. And it's him walking around going, nothing to see. Weird. $60,000.

[Morgan Tubes]

There's some nice friends once you got.

[Bobby Bones]

The box or it's a lot of friends.

[Amy]

Think about your wedding. You think you would have spotted a wedding crasher at your wedding?

[Morgan Tubes]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

No, because I didn't know some people my wife had there from like back in the day. Like her, like, like travel softball team friends were there and I was like, hey, how's it going? I don't know you. And I wouldn't recognize them now, even after I met him once. So yeah, that'd be tough because we had like 300 people at ours.

[Amy]

Yeah, I feel like most people wouldn't recognize a.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy was one of the. Welcome to the wedding at the bar.

[Lunchbox]

Love to see ya.

[Bobby Bones]

Drinks on me. He's like the guy people like, hey, I met a guy named Chris. He was awesome. Who. Who knows him? That's the guy that stole all the stuff.

[Morgan Tubes]

Stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Wedding crashers. Fun movie. Bold. Bold. Bold like respect, but no respect because you stole stuff. Yeah, but like, if you're just crashing a wedding, bold, like respect. That takes some real natural. That takes some nas to do that. Yeah. I always felt weird going to a wedding. Like there would be listeners would be like, hey, if you're. You're in town doing a show, come by the wedding. I did that a couple times and it was expected. I even felt we were just going to like, hey, I'm here because I got a DM on Instagram. They wanted me to come. I felt weird doing that. I would feel so awkward crashing away. I won't even sit in a concert seat. That's not mine. Three rows up. Because I'm like, oh, no, this doesn't feel right.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah. Cause like, what if they come?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can't enjoy this.

[Amy]

No, they come. You just act like, oh, I guess I did.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't do that.

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, that's so awkward.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't do that very well. It's time for the good news with lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Last month, Lindsay's a teenager in Pennsylvania. She's driving down the road, loses control of the car, hits two poles and a tree totals her car. She's trapped underneath the car. Broken legs, pelvis she's probably gonna die right there. But luckily. No, no, it says.

[Bobby Bones]

It.

[Lunchbox]

It says she could have died right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, I got it, got it, got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

And the iPhone 14 since the crash connected with emergency officials stayed on the line for 22 minutes while they were able to find her location and save her.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great story. Yeah, probably was gonna die.

[Amy]

Probably.

[Morgan Tubes]

Probably.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's crazy. Apple watch. That stuff's all crazy.

[Amy]

What does it say? Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

It says that she leaving her trapped under the car with multiple fractures and she probably could have done.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not true. You just lied on that sentence.

[Amy]

They don't say that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but she said.

[Bobby Bones]

No, read that. Read the line.

[Lunchbox]

She struck two poles in a tree, totaling her car and leaving her trapped under the vehicle with multiple fractures in her legs, pelvis, hips and spine.

[Amy]

And that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

They say anything about her probably dying.

[Lunchbox]

Or we're so blessed that she's alive, it's a miracle.

[Bobby Bones]

True. All that's true. Right?

[Lunchbox]

But she would have been there.

[Bobby Bones]

Took a little creative liberty there. No, no, no. That's what we all do.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on, hold on. Listen. If. If that iPhone doesn't connect with the.

[Bobby Bones]

We agree.

[Amy]

She could have died.

[Bobby Bones]

She could have died for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, 99%.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now you're just making that up.

[Lunchbox]

I couldn't call anybody.

[Bobby Bones]

We hear you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, unless someone drove by and saw her.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a lot of things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just. I didn't think the story would say what you said. But that's. You're right. She had a good chance of dying. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Emmy, Lunchbox, Morgan Tubes is trying to put you through M riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. Now time for the morning corny. The morning Corny.

[Morgan Tubes]

What happens when a ghost drinks booze?

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Morgan Tubes]

They get cheat faced.

[Amy]

Oh, is that an After Dark?

[Morgan Tubes]

No, that. No, I have one that's After Dark, though.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Morgan Tubes]

I just realized I was, like, not gonna do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba. We let it live.

[Amy]

I think it's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember that commercials? I used to do a camera. I shipped my pants. I feel like it's okay. Well, you guys are walking that today. I mean, like, very careful how we're saying it. Yeah. No, I hear you. Yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

I just feel like people put sheets on to be a ghost. So that's where, like, your bed sheets.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, we get it. And then there's not a single part of it we don't get.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay. And I also selected that one after the one that is sort of after dark, so that one seemed innocent, but.

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't know that one, so there was no comparison.

[Morgan Tubes]

No. I want to tell it to you, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe on the podcast.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. There you go. That was the morning. Corny. I feel bad for people who get scammed. I do. I want to say that there are some people that get scammed, though. And it's like, how? Cuz I got one in my email the other day. That was great. I saved it. It was so. It was so enticing for me to click because I thought, well, I didn't buy this. It says, the activation of $288.64. Your order is currently underway. Your customer. Thank you, Geek Squad. All these links, and I'm like, I didn't spin that.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, oh, the fact that I even looked at it twice. Yeah. Like, so many details, like, great job. And they're like, call this number and you know they're gonna rip me off. It was a scam, so scam alert. Thank you, scammer now. Well, a woman fell for a romance scam. A guy claimed he was an astronaut and he was low on oxygen. Okay. And he needed thousands of dollars to buy oxygen or he was gonna die.

[Amy]

But he's in space.

[Morgan Tubes]

Oh, my God. No way you fall for that.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty bad, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I. I do. I do. Part of me feels bad. He got her to spend $6,700, and by spend, like, send it to him. So what sucks is she was. She was in her 80s. I know that sucks. But an astronaut's calling you from the.

[Amy]

Moon, running out of oxygen.

[Bobby Bones]

I would hope. I would hope. And that you don't think he's gonna.

[Amy]

Call his command center first.

[Bobby Bones]

Back in July, this woman. Which, by the way, if she's smart enough to be on social media, navigate social media, know how to work it, I would think she would be smart enough to not be fooled by Neil Armstrong looking for oxygen.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah. Like, this is just right, right? This is.

[Bobby Bones]

I shouldn't feel totally guilty for laughing, right?

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, I think that she's elderly and. And obviously not. Which.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. I feel bad.

[Morgan Tubes]

Which social media.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't say.

[Morgan Tubes]

Probably Facebook.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, probably Facebook. Back in July. She started talking to a guy on social media who claimed he was an astronaut. She kept talking, developed feelings. He dropped the hammer and claimed he was in trouble. He said that he was in space on a spaceship and he needed oxygen, and if he didn't get it quick, he was gonna die. So he asked her to float him in cash for some O2. She sent him $6,700. CBS News.

[Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman]

Dang.

[Morgan Tubes]

I can't even imagine.

[Bobby Bones]

That had to be a one and done, right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, meaning. Let's just try this one once because no. And can. You know, he's like, the oxygen one. We got one of the line. Yeah. They rang the bell. Yeah. Guys, you never believe that somebody's falling for the oxygen scam.

[Morgan Tubes]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's all. I. I feel bad for her. I do. Anybody getting scammed? That sucks. But I want to do a scam alert. If an astronaut reaches out and says he needs oxygen or he's gonna die and he's your online lover, it's a scam. Bobby Bone show bonehead story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Wallbridge, Ohio. A couple went on a little date on a Friday night. They go out to dinner, and they come home, and their truck door is open. They're like, oh, someone broke in. So they call 911, saying, hey, someone broke into our truck, worried they may be in our house. So an officer shows up, and he gets out of the car, like, how can I help you? And they're like, what? And he's like, how can I help you?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Oh, no.

[Lunchbox]

He'd been drinking.

[Amy]

The cop.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So they had to call 911 again and say, hey, we had our truck broken into, and now you sent us a cop that's drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy continues to get paid for her movie, the one that she did two years ago. Her Christmas movie?

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah. I just got another check, and it's not even Christmas time, so I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they don't just send you checks at Christmas because you did a Christmas movie.

[Morgan Tubes]

Well, I know that viewings go up around Christmas time, but that would be.

[Bobby Bones]

Why you're getting paid now. It takes that long to process.

[Morgan Tubes]

No, I've got. I got checks earlier this year.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I believe you.

[Morgan Tubes]

Okay.

[Amy]

What do they pay you, like, quarterly?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, probably.

[Morgan Tubes]

I don't know. I just feel like checks come randomly.

[Bobby Bones]

Randomly?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, randomly.

[Morgan Tubes]

They're just real random. Yeah, and sometimes it'll say, like, foreign screenings. I'm like, where did you air this?

[Bobby Bones]

Japan Film Festival. I saw you got a 20 minute standing ovation. You weren't even there to receive it.

[Amy]

They're like, where's Amy?

[Morgan Tubes]

So, I mean, I just feel like this is going to be for the rest of my life.

[Bobby Bones]

They go down significantly unless it like, catches on.

[Morgan Tubes]

They fluctuate.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But they still go way down.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Is it a letter in the mail?

[Morgan Tubes]

Yes, it comes in the mail and I get a pay stub and then the check and I, you know, you. You tear it and sign the back.

[Amy]

Does this happen? Does that happen to Tom Hanks? Like, does he go to the mail?

[Bobby Bones]

This was great. Visuals all the time.

[Morgan Tubes]

Not the mail.

[Bobby Bones]

That's probably deposit. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan Tubes]

And Warner Brothers or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang flag.

[Lunchbox]

Is it like chartered or like, what do you call it? Certified mail? No, like, we have to sign for it.

[Morgan Tubes]

Comes in the mail.

[Bobby Bones]

And how much was the check?

[Morgan Tubes]

47.52.

[Amy]

Wow, that's good, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for sharing that with us. Yeah, I know money a tough topic sometimes.

[Morgan Tubes]

I don't know, it's just kind of fun. And then it's a reminder. I was in a movie, which is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it still up on hbo? Hbo, Max.

[Morgan Tubes]

I'm.

[Amy]

You probably have to search for it. It's probably not.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't think it's on the front.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, it's not on the trending September Holiday harmony. Hbo, Max.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see. Holiday harmony. I see a. Yeah, we're just not signed up.

[Morgan Tubes]

Yeah, I mean, it's a cute movie.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever go back and watch your part?

[Morgan Tubes]

No, that was cringe for me. First time we watched it, I watched it at my best friend from high school's house because she had us over for Thanksgiving because it came out like Thanksgiving that year, whatever year it was a few years ago and my kids and I flew to Austin, had Thanksgiving at her house and her family, we all gathered around, we were watching it and then my kids could not stop dying laughing that my big film debut was a bathroom scene. And so it's just like, cringe. I just pictured them like, laughing and.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, well, if blisters will put it on repeat and they go to work.

[Amy]

Money get you another check.

[Morgan Tubes]

I didn't think about that. Yeah.

[Amy]

Or you just leave it on a repeat.

Yeah, sure. Yeah.
