Morgan 2 Scoop of Steve Red Abbott trying to put you through like this. Riding this week's next bit, the Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Vaughn Show. Officials are reminding people that when you travel for the holidays, don't forget to unplug all your battery chargers. Like all your chargers. Whoa. Okay. Because they just stay plugged and we think about, we leave our lamps and stuff plugged in. Because I definitely don't walk around the house, unplug, unplug, unplug. I don't. No. But they say. And that's not what the story is saying, but this is why I'm reading it here. All your chargers, they're the most dangerous thing that catch fire in your house. Oh. So if something goes wrong and look. And some are better than others. Like I would say the quality of the Apple charger is better than one. And I've bought them at the gas station last minute because I don't have a charger in my car. Those get hot, right? They do get hot. So if you just leave the things plugged in for a long time, they can explode, start a fire. They can also release toxic gases. What? So. Yes. Oh. So if you're leaving your house and not even saying they're bad to be plugged in, but if you leave of everything plugged in, they are the most dangerous. Unplug your chargers. Okay. I guess I'm gonna have to do that now. I'm gonna do it when I go to work. Yeah, I know. I wanted to unplug it all the time, but I cleave everything Plugged in. Even if it's not plugged into the device, like, right? No, because the box could get hot. I never unplugged the gas station ones. Those are bad news. No, no, no, no. Sometimes I go and I touch it and I'm like, this is so hot right now. But I'm like, oh, well, charge my phone. Yeah, go get you a packet of yellow jackets and a charger for the gas station and call it a day. You know what I mean? There's another thing too I wanted to talk about was we'd always heard that if you eat like after a certain hour, that that's bad for you. And I'm going to read this from Oregon Health and Science. So this from Oregon university. Eating after 8pm has traditionally been the normal sleep schedule. A time not to eat because you go to bed and your body can't process it and you gain weight. They say if you feel like a bedtime snack, go for it. You can eat after eight, but it does kind of matter what you eat, which always is the case. They're like, look, sweets and treats, doesn't matter when you eat them. It's going to affect your body differently than if you were to eat something a bit more nutritious. But if you were to eat something that isn't terrible for you, like last night after 8, had a cinnamon roll. Big one. It's great. It doesn't make this list. It doesn't make this list of good things, but they're like, if as long as you're not eating crap after eight, it's not going to do the same thing. So you can't eat after 8. Or a bedtime snack. Don't deprive yourself is what they're saying. But that cinnamon roll was a. It was so a plus. I warmed it up. Was it homemade or what? No, we got from somewhere. Yeah. St. Jude sent them to the house. Do what? And they were awesome. Yeah. And so they were frozen and I put them in the microwave and it was awesome. You did that last night? Yeah, I think at three. And I don't really do a lot. I try not to do a lot of sweets at night, but there I. This is not an exaggeration. I was walking in a room and I heard Bobby. I said, what's up? Oh. And I've. I felt crazy. And I went to open the bedroom. Bobby. And it was a cinnamon rolls. They were talking to me. Wow. And now they called me in and I had three. When you had to eat them. I know. Yeah. It's Great. No choice. It's great. So after eight's okay. Just be careful with what you eat after eight. Eddie, what's on your mind? I have a real question for you guys. Is it okay to park illegally at church? Because. And the reason I asked this is because maybe not that illegal, but like maybe blocking a dumpster. Okay. Okay. Just making sure, because when I hear illegally, I hear a handicap spot. So you're not parking in a handicap spot? No, no, no, no, no. I'm parking in front of a dumpster, kind of by the entrance. No one parks there. It says don't park there. Like no parking on the road. But I mean, it's church. They're not going to tow me. They're not going to ticket me. It's church. So is it okay to park maybe on the grass in front of a dumpster? Maybe in between lines where you're not supposed to? Because it's church in the grass. I've had no problem parking when it's an overflow. Because if you get there late. I know, because here's the thing, I'm going to say this. And it could be controversial. They play way too much music. The worship, the worship music. Why that's some people's favorite park. Great. Not ours. Not ours. It's like a 40. It's like a concert. And it's like everybody has to read all the words on the big screen. I like to go to concerts where I already know the words. You want them to talk more? I want it just to get going. Oh, because they haven't even got going yet. Like cut it short. No, not even sure. But like you're on time. Give me the message. Some people are late, so they're like, oh, wow, there's only a few songs. Was like, no, there's been a lot. Yeah. If you get there, you Prepare yourself for 30 minutes and non stop. And it's. By the way, it's a great music as far as like the. How skilled the musicians are and the message. The message. It's way too much music. It's like the previews in a movie theater. Like a couple getting longer and longer. A couple of them are cool because you're like, can't wait to see these movies. But for the most part you're standing up for the music too. It's like, I want to sit down. It's too much music. So if we get there, we're gonna get there a little later. But we're not gonna miss the message because there's a lot to Be taken from that. But we're gonna park in. So we'll park in the grass. Not a big deal. Yeah. Unless it's, like, raining or was wet. I don't park in the grass if it's been wet at all, because then you could damage the. I don't care about that. The curve. I do. Hey, here's the thing. If it's raining, we ain't going. I'm just gonna be. Hon, with you. We ain't going. Especially because I want to. Because I'm going to think, well, I don't want to hear all the music. And then it's going to be rainy, so I don't want to get muddy. Yeah. So a dumpster, though. I think it probably says no parking there because someone would need to access the dumpster. And it's Sunday. They're not going to be pulling the trash out on Sunday. And if they needed to, wouldn't they go? Stop the music. Everybody who's parked in front of the dumpster, we need you to move. Because we need to. And they're not going to do it during church. Right. But if everybody thought that, then they would always park there. Do you only park there when you're late? No. Oh. Oh, my God, no. I mean, if there's a parking spot right in front of the door. Well, I know what you're talking about. It's problematic right now because there's construction. Yes. So there's a lot of parking spots that have been torn up. And if I don't park by the dumpster, bones, I am walking at least 10 minutes to church. But that's okay. It's not 10 minutes. That's tough. It's not 10 minutes. There's not a single place in that parking lot just 10 minutes away from so far away they have golf carts picking people up. Eddie. Thou shalt not lie. Yes. Right. Right. Okay, fine. Five minutes. You know what? Thou shall not park in front of a dumpster. If you don't need to park in front of a dumpster. I would say such a bad example, because you're that guy. Like, can you do it? Yes. Are they going to tell you? No. But if you get there on time and you have to walk an extra two and a half minutes. 5. I think it's okay. I wouldn't park in front of the dumpster unless you're very late. I think it's more of the dumpster company coming to empty the trash is why you can't park there. It's correct. It's not someone Taking out the trash. So you don't know their schedule. So they could show up. They just flip your car up into the back of the dumpster. They're not showing up on Sunday. You don't have a feeling they're not going to come during church because you're going to hear that noise while they're playing their ninth song before the sermon, you know? Yeah, the encore. Yes, they're. Encore in the beginning set. I'm gonna. I'm gonna say you should not do it if you're getting there late. And that's the only spot. Okay, I get it. But you don't really get there that late. No, we get there right on time. But right on time is late because all those people, I guess, want to do that singing part. Well, yeah. And then the lobby's jam packed. Jam packed. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna go. No. Unless you're late and you can't get there because there are times there are no seats because you get there late. And then you're all split up. It's overflow. Yeah. And it's like me and my wife and one of Eddie's kids. That's happened before. And that's. That's how it is. Okay, what's the official verdict on this? Yes. The park in the actual parking lot. That's option one. Yeah. Option two, if you're late. You're right, Bones. Park in front of the dumpster. Yeah. If you're not worried about them emptying the trash. I say park there all you want. But also, you're doing something illegal at church, which may. Which your kids are witnessing. You got a hole punch card. Not true. Hole punches. You go to hell. And so you may get a hole punch. That could be a hole punch. You don't even realize it. Another thing too, is you should leave church early to move the car so people don't see that you parked in front of the. That's also a good thing. Yep. But I just think it's like a five dollar foot long in subway. Like, you get so many foot longs, you get a hole punch. All of a sudden you get a free one. Well, you get so many hole punches of parking illegally, all of a sudden you got going to hell, you're going downstairs. So that's on you. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. But if you feel good about it, then you keep doing what you do. It just doesn't seem like the message of church. It doesn't feel right. That's why I brought it to you guys. Well, if it doesn't feel right, why are you doing it? Because I need to do it. It's a five minute walk. If I don't, you don't need to do it. Okay, thank you. Hey, thanks for being vulnerable and sharing that with us. No problem, man. No problem. The show is sponsored by BetterHelp. What's your favorite part of the holidays?

Time for the news. Bobby's big stories. You know that dude in New York, broad daylight, shot that CEO. They still can't find him. And over the weekend, they were like, and we think he's left New York. And we think he got back on a bus. And they found what they think is his backpack, or at least one exactly like that. And they opened it up and it's full of Monopoly money. Crazy. They can't find him. I know. And I read a story that they know his name. Okay. Find them. Okay. Like, that's the big update. You know his name. Okay, so that's the update there. That there is no update. It is crazy that that happened in New York City, broad daylight. All the cameras, the amount of news coverage it's getting. They released two more pictures of him. I'll say it, hottie. He's not a bad. I was surprised by his looks, for sure. The search continues for the individual wanted for questioning and the murder of the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. Put out the new pictures. The murder weapon has not been found. An NYPD dive team searched a lake in Central Park. Again, nothing. So, yeah, that's what's up. And the Monopoly money, Are they saying that some sort of like, message of this is. It's like a game to him. Of could be different clues. Unless it was planted there by somebody else also being funny. Okay. And they don't think that, but definitely could be that. But that's the latest in that one. The best scent if you're tired is cinnamon. Hang a cinnamon scented air freshener in your rearview mirror if you're driving and you're tired or just sniff on some cinnamon. A recent study found that people exposed to the aroma of cinnamon stayed more alert and experienced considerably less fatigue. That is from Wheeling Haysot University in West Virginia. So I would just get like actual cinnamon sticks from the grocery store and do that. Don't get like the cinnamon scented trees. I'd snort them. The stick. Yeah. Break it up. I've never done a drug, so I've never actually snorted anything. But I've done this spray, nasal spray, and even then I'm like. Goes in your throat. But if you're really tired, man, give this. Go all Jordan Belfort on that cinnamon. You know what I mean? Wolf of Wall Street. Yeah. NASA. Guys, guys, guys, guys. I'm gonna read you the story straight as, okay? And you say what you want to say afterward. I will not stop you. This is from NBC News. NASA says the moon mission is delayed as an agency tries to beat China there. So now we're racing to get to the moon against China we go. Just listen to the story before we start. Here we go. We're now racing to the moon to beat China. Okay, now, do we do this against Russia? Like, I don't know, 1969? Yep. Let me move on. Anyway, it'll be a bit longer before we return to the moon. NASA announced Yesterday the Artemis 2 mission has been delayed since 2026. The agency says the delay gives them more time to address problems with the Orion space capsule. It also pushes back the mission, which is planned to carry four astronauts to Earth's satellite back in the middle of 2027. NASA spent over $42 billion on the Space Launch System rocket and the Orion capsule over the past 10 years. So have you ever seen. Cause I've been to the museum in D.C. where they have the original ship that got up to the moon. No, dude, it looks like a go kart. It looks like whenever we had Joey Logano on 25 whistles on Friday, I encourage you guys to check out the podcast 25 Whistles. Joey Logano, champ again, the Cup Series. It looks like something he would have drove when he was 9. And that's what got us to the moon. And then we can't get there again forever. And now we can't get there now, and we've spent $42 billion, and we're racing China to get there. So what are you saying? I'm not saying anything. I'm asking you guys what you think about this. This is from NBC News. This is not from Bobby's crazy brain. Yeah, I think it's weird. Okay? That's all. I think it's a little weird. Will you lean into the first time that maybe I'm not completely crazy that we've never been to the moon? That's not what I said. What I said was, I think there has been some fabrication about it. Even if somehow we did get there, I think we had to make. Because if we got there, how do we have camera? We reshot that stuff. Even if we got there, we reshot that stuff. You know, like Stanley Kubrick said. Oh, you don't think that was a live video? They never showed the live video. They showed a video of a projector on a screen, but on live tv. Yes, but it wasn't that live video. It was a projection on a screen to, like, lose generations. I'm not Mr. We didn't go to the moon. I am Mr. Why is all this like this? If we've done this so long and then we lost all the technology and Then I saw the thing. Dude, I wouldn't drive this down the street. The thing that they originally got to the moon in. It is crazy that we've never gone back to the moon. Like, we made it one time and then we. We went again. We went up there again like a couple years later. But now we can't get through, like, the asteroid belt because without. Right. That's a little weird. I'll be honest. All I would like is the acknowledgement that we're not being told everything. I'm not saying that we're being lied to fully. Guys. Tell me that's not weird. We're racing China now to get to the moon. No. He's weird. Feels like a waste of money. I think the money part would be it's not so much about getting to the moon. It's about using that moon as the next spot to get somewhere else and have space exploration. Like we move to the moon. No. Maybe it's either use the moon as you can put satellites up to look down, build a base to then jump off and go somewhere else. But I don't know. What do I know? That sounds pretty good. I don't even. I don't know how airplanes work. So. Give me a break. Yeah. All right. Next up, a Utah family finds a live World War II Shell in their yard. Oh, a live one. Like a bombshell in Utah. 155 millimeter shell, about 2ft long, weighing 100 pounds, was not buried, but partially covered in dirt. Authorities responded after the family was like, we should call 911. And they used the robot to come out, X ray the shell, confirming it was live. Dang, dude. And it's like laying next to an old fence. It looks like a piece of scrap metal had fallen with a point on it or it looks like exactly the ship they took to the moon. If you go to the. If you go to the museum, it. The US Air Force. Air Force was called to safely dispose of it. No criminal activity was suspected. Residents were advised to shelter in place. Like, that's how you know there's an. There's a possibility this thing might go off. That's wild. It's just chilling there. I don't want to shelter in place. If it's going to go off. I want to evacuate. Yeah, I want to get up. Like, move. Shelter away. Opposite direction. Don't shelter. Anti shelter flee. ABC4 with that story. Dude, I'm gonna give you one more. And this one is expected but unexpected. Americans life expectancy to crash to 66th in the world lower than many Sub Saharan African nations. And what we're doing is comparing it to those nations that we see on tv, and they're like, hey, we need to donate nine bucks a month because they can't get water. They can't get food. Like, we're dying earlier than they are. Whoa. And we have clean water. Yeah, we have. And lots of food. And here. And that is exactly what's happening. There are three reasons that we are dying earlier. Number one, rampant obesity, the stuff they put in our food. Number two, drug use. And number three, firearms. Those three things. So it's like we have so much that we kill ourselves back down to worse than people that have nothing. Dang. I know whenever they compared it to, like, the Sub Saharan, that they need our help just to have the basics. And they're living longer than us. It's like, man, we have so much rapid obesity, man. That's crazy. And we're gonna. 30, 40 years. We're gonna be the idiots that we look back at the 20s and 30s where they were the idiots. Everybody's smoking. Yeah. You know, everybody's going to the moon. That kind of stuff. It's gonna be the same thing. But, like, sodas and chips are so good, man. Well, just. That's the thing. Hey, so is heroin, you know? Well, I've never done that. Some people. I was watching a doctor talk about it this weekend of, like. Some people like to just say, oh, if you're overweight, it has to do with willpower. And that's not willpower. We need to set that aside and focus on, like, Eddie being addicted to the soda and chips. Like, they're very meticulous. They put certain things in that makes us want it. Yes. And we keep eating it. And it's causing. But I love it. I'm not even joking. I. I love it. It's yummy. But it's not. It doesn't just boil down to willpower. I say this as someone who. I'm not as a judgmental person, where it's like, yes, you can do better. It's like, I need to do better, I guess, or I'm 40s. I just think, like, our country needs to do better with what they allow us to have. They can still create yummy food without, like, the problem is, is the lobbyists. Right. That's what I mean. Our country, corporations, they'll go lobby. And these politicians who are never in it for us, don't ever think a politician is ever in it for you. And so they're going to accept the money and make sure that they can keep making things like they have and. Yeah, on and on. Anyway, happy holidays. Yeah. Yeah. I do have some great news though. Would you guys like to hear it? Yeah, please. First of all, I'd like to give a big old super massive thank you to everybody who over the last couple of shows on Thursday and Friday just listened. And I'll start with that. We had our St. Jude radio thon, which we do every year. We dedicate two full shows to that. And if I could be completely honest, and I don't think my company would like me saying this, but it's. It's the truth. We do the show. We love to do the show. It hurts our ratings, but that is absolutely okay with us because it is worth more for us to get out of it what we can get out of it for the kids, the parents, the research for St. Jude than it is for a couple day ratings. It does hurt our ratings because sometimes people just don't want to listen to that. And there's only so much you can listen to before you get super sad. I'll be someone who agrees with that. Like if you listen to the show for 40 minutes in a day, you probably didn't listen for 40 minutes to St. Jude. But if we could get you to listen for 15 and it resonated with you and even if you couldn't afford it and you just thought about it like, that's what we appreciate. Everybody who donated was 19 bucks a month to be a partner in hope. We've done it every year for 13 years or so. And so I was looking back at kind of, I haven't opened our number this year. So last year we did 2.4 million, which was really good. It's really good. Our record. And what's happened is it's kind of been like award show ratings or anything on linear television. Every year it just goes down a little, little, little, little. It's the nature of the beast. There's just so many more things. So we did 2.4 million last year, which massive. Our record was 2022. We did 2.7 million opening it up. Our 2024St. Jude total, because of all of you guys at 19amonth, we have done 2.85 million. What? Wow. That's. Okay. New record for the most ever. So that's amazing. This is for you guys. This is not for us. This is for you guys. That is awesome. Wow. That's. I did not think five goosebumps. Like I kind of thought that I mean, I know you didn't know she had to open it up or I don't know who knew what. But I didn't know the total.

One, Morgan went to Vegas over the weekend and she got paid to go to Vegas for work. And Lunchbox was all upset about it. So how awesome was Vegas? Oh, my gosh, guys, it was like the trip of a lifetime. Genuinely. So you got paid to have the trip of a lifetime? Yes. That's all awesome. Lunchbox your thoughts. I talked to her before she went. I talked to her about all the things Vegas. She's like, I think I'm just gonna sleep. I'm just really tired. And I'm like, you have the wrong attitude going to Vegas. Like, it's disgusting to hear someone say, I'm just gonna go to Vegas to sleep. It's like, you don't even deserve it. Did you take your sister? Yeah, I took my sister for her birthday. Hey, all paid. Yeah, all paid. She got paid. I mean, it's just so annoying. Morgan went to Vegas to see Thomas Rhett at Fountain Blue. How was the show? Good. It was at Fat and Blue. So. Okay, first of all, this hotel is, like, so gorgeous. It's the best hotel I've been in in Vegas. And I. I'm not even saying that because I got paid. It is so pretty and beautiful. And then we went to the theater for Thomas Rhett and he put on one of the best shows I've seen him perform. That's great. He performed, like, not only his songs, so many different versions of his songs, but he also did covers from every decade, and it was the coolest moment. That's cool. We have a live cover of Thomas Rhett doing Smash Mouth all star. Really? And then here is Morgan. She sat down with Thomas Rhett and asked him if his family came to Vegas for the show. All my kids have Christmas programs this week, so I'm flying home tomorrow and I'm going to see all the Christmas programs and they're all going to come back out on Saturday and Christmas programs. Do you have a few talented singers of your own in the family? I Haven't decided yet. They all love to sing, but Willa Gray and Ada James for sure have started to really play the piano. And they'll make up like little raps and little rhymes in the backseat of the car. And we'll try to. Will try to write songs out of their ideas and stuff. Thomas, right? At Fountain Blue. Inside of Blue Live theater. The final weekend is this Friday and Saturday. Get your tickets@ticketmaster.com. rate the trip 1 through 10. Oh, it's a 10 lunchbox. Rate the trip on how irritated you are. They didn't invite you to go. 10. Absolute 10. I am very disappointed in Thomas Rhett and Fountain Blue. Thomas Rhett had nothing to do with it. Fountain Blue had nothing to do with it. It was our company who picked Morgan. Okay. I'm very disappointed in our company and our higher ups. They know what's up and they chose to go with a different route. Can I also say, like, they. They showed out on the way too. They. They let me eat at all the restaurants. There was expensive restaurants, a steakhouse. Yeah. Like, they paid for it all. See what I'm talking about? They took me up to the members only room, the poodle room with this 360 view of Vegas. What is the poodle room? His dream to get in the poodle room. Lunchbox is. I've been thinking about my whole life is the poodle room. Listen, while I was up there, I was like, lunchbox is gonna be so mad I was up here. It was the. You see an entire view of Vegas. Like three, six. You walk around and it's members only. You have to either be invited guests or you have to pay a crap ton of money to be up there. Even I'm a little jealous. Not that I wanted to go because I don't want to go anywhere anymore, but that's really cool. Congratulations. And I think you have worked so hard to get these opportunities, and I'm super proud for you. Oh, thank you. I appreciate it. I would love to go back. It was so much fun. You know what? I hear we have another. We're not sending her back. No, maybe not there, but there's other stuff. Like, she killed this, so they want to send her. Morgan's gonna be our freaking traveling. No, no, that's not. That's not right. That's not absolutely accurate. Well, also to your point, like, I was super tired, but I went out. I mean, I was out until 2am Friday night. Saturday night, we were out until Vegas. 2am that's like waking up 4am Here. That's. That's fun, Morgan. Good job. Yeah. Thank you. It was also nfr, guys. It was like Nashville and Planet in Vegas. Were there hot cowboys everywhere? So many cowboys. Okay. I've played, I've done standup shows. They'll bring me out to do like stand up. Like, I've done the win for a few nights during NFR while the rodeo's there. And it's like all of our people. Yeah, it's like Nashville was there. Yeah. It's like all of our people. It's like cowboys. And I'm not quite a cowboy. Look at me, I'm in my cardigan. But it's like cowboys all the way to like, just massive country music listeners. Yeah. And they had it at. They had cowboy Christmas. So they had this huge expo of all these shop events. Here we go. It's. Amy says cowboy cruise. No, there's like vendor booths. You can shop. It's not just all about cowboys. And you're doing this cowboy cross. Not like the shopping. Okay. Great job, Morgan. Thank you. Thank you. This guy's trapped in a well because he falls down the well. Didn't see it. And all of a sudden he's like, help. Ah. Help. And people heard him, but this part of the forest they think is, like, haunted. They thought it was a ghost. No way. No, he. By the way, he left. He got out. Oh. Cause I wouldn't have been having my giggles before. Yeah. The 22 year old guy fell 40ft down. Which, by the way, lucky. Everything in break like, pelvis didn't break. Legs didn't break, didn't die. He was abandoned. He started screaming for help. Nobody came. There's a small village nearby, a little town. Nobody came. They thought it was a ghost. Because the forest had been rumored to have been haunted, it took 30 minutes for rescuers to get him out once they realized he was not a ghost. By the way, before you laugh, 61% of Americans believe in ghosts. Ghosts. Good. Stat. Okay. Yeah. But if I hear someone screaming help, I don't think my first response is like, let's just ignore it. It goes. The sound coming out of a well, though, is hollow. So it would. Oh, that sounds like a ghost. If I remember. I know what this story makes me think of Bobby. If. Well, Lassie. No, no, Lassie, take me to the now. I'm scared to say something because I don't want to spoil it, but it makes you text me. But you have a bad. You spoil stuff. You can text me. Okay. Yeah, I'll look at it. Yeah. Yeah. Not that we don't enjoy your commentary on things, but sometimes you spoil shows. No, no, no, I get it, but I don't think of you spoiling. But just in case, Great job. Country singer named Austin Tanner. Remember Austin Tanner, Eddie? Yeah. I mean, he's the CMA guy, right? Go ahead. Yeah, so he was. He got in some trouble. I think he. Insurance fraud. Yeah, insurance fraud. Alabama, maybe. Yes. And he wasn't supposed to leave the state, but however, he got some free CMA tickets, so he crossed state lines and went to the CMAs, post pictures about it, and they got in trouble again. And I think he's back in jail. No, he's not in jail, but he's got an ankle bracelet on, so. Aspiring country singer. Don't even really know how good he sings, but was. I thought the story was so funny. He got caught leaving his home state of Alabama to take a quick trip to the CMA Awards, and he was legally bound to stay in his home state. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he's supposed to turn himself in, but he never showed. And so he now has to wear his ankle bracelet. He can't leave except for work, church, or to see his lawyer. That's good. He will be on our show this week, I think. Oh, because it's work. No, we're gonna have to zoom him. Did he get clearance? Clearance for that? He's zooming. You can zoom all day. Okay. Gooba. I asked him about the come in studio. He's like, man, I can't because that bracelet. So he's gonna have to do zoom with us this week. Next week? This week? Yes. Yeah, yeah, this week. So we don't even know if he's any good. I just admired the hustle, guys like, yolo. Look at him, looking good. Austin Tanner dressed up at the same. Yeah, I know if it's his wife or not, but whoever it is, good. Yeah. I don't like the insurance fraud part of it, if that's what happened. We'll ask him about that. But he's gonna come on the show. It's awesome. It's funny. I don't know if it's awesome, if I can commit to awesome, but it is funny that he would just do that. Amy, what did you just text me? I texted it to you. Oh, the spoiler. Yeah, I just wouldn't say anything. Okay. Yeah, I wouldn't say anything, but. Do you see what I mean? Yeah, but I wouldn't say anything. Okay. Lisa in Chicago, you're on the phone right now. We appreciate you calling. Let's go over to Lisa. What's up, Lisa? Morning, studio. Morning. I'm actually driving home to Tennessee from Chicago. Okay, well, let's go. I actually was. The Brett Eldred show, his Christmas show in Chicago here all three nights. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Definitely need to get to Nashville and go ahead and see that show. Oh, you went all three nights? Yes, sir. Just like last year. Oh, wow. Dang Chicago theater. That's, like, his favorite place to play. I know. I mean, that's like one of my best friends. I sound like a nerd. Like, that's a favorite place to play. It was pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Awesome. Going to be there on the 20th and at Bridgestone also. But I had to go ahead and say you guys were talking about it last week, and yeah, it's a definitely definite go. I appreciate that. Call and have a safe trip home, and thank you for listening to the show. Thank you. Have a good day. I see you later. Bye. So, Brett Eldridge, what's your favorite Brett Eldridge song? You got some stuff. That's a good one. I like. Don't you? Don't you? Oh, I like Long way around this town. Oh, that's a jam. Take me the long way around this town. That's a J. And then our family favorite. It was not a radio hit, so I don't even know if y'all would know it, but my kids played all the time. The Put me on a Train. You know that one? Only because you sing it over. It's so good. What about the. Did we already do beat of the music? No, no. The first one you sing. Yeah. Quick story, Quick story. So I've said many times, Brett is one of my best friends. And so for years, especially during COVID and after Covid, when there wasn't a lot of touring, like, it was just us, me, my wife, and Brett. We were the running trio. And so a couple times a week, hang out, watch movies, eat dinner, whatever. My wife did, she knew his music, but she'd never seen him perform live. Matter of fact, except in the show. I'd never seen him perform live at a concert because when we do concerts, I mean, I was on the road so much, I wouldn't see him. We went to his Christmas show last year, and my wife's hilarious, and she's like, I'm nervous. I'm like, why? Because we're going to. We've never been to Brett's Christmas show. She's like, I'm nervous. I'm never. I've never seen Brett perform live, and I hope it comes out. And it's, like, not cringy because, you know, we all have, like, a stage thing about us, and we're. And we've been back there with him the whole time. And we walk out and we sit in the seats, and she's like, please, please, please, please be good. We know he can sing. She sang it as he sang it. The birthday party. He's saying, oh, what a beautiful morning from Oklahoma, because he did that in high school. And she's from Oklahoma, whatever. And he comes out and he starts singing the first song, and he's in his tux, and it's like, doo doo Christmas. Doo doo. Whatever the song is. I look over, my wife's crying, and I'm like, I guess you think it's cringe. She goes, no, this is, like, the greatest thing I've ever seen. She's like, it's moving. It's beautiful. I did not. Because, you know, when you're friends with somebody, you really don't see, like, their professional superpower. It doesn't have to be, like, a performer. Like, somebody could be, like, a really good PR person or a really good. Wait until you actually see them do it. You really don't know. But the show is that good. So if he comes to your city. I don't even give a crap about Christmas music. Wasn't really raising a lot of, like, good Christmas memories. Not bad ones, but not good ones. Sure. So for me, it's not my thing, but the show is awesome, so go get it. Go watch it if you get a chance. There you go. And Amy would have spoiled a little something for sure, huh? I don't think so. Totally. What do you think the guy in the well, No, I saw it. Okay, well, if you say so, then I'm really glad I didn't say anything. And this is growth. No, you were gonna do it anyway. We just yelled at you not to do it. Yeah, yeah. He. Bobby stopped you. But I had awareness. No, no, he stopped you. No, but I mean. All right, play us on. Okay. Bobby bone show. Bone head. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Brown County, Minnesota. A woman was being investigated for stealing a car. They couldn't, like, pin it on her, huh? How are we gonna find her then? They found her journal. And on November 22, it said, Totally stole a car today. Kind of freaking out about it. Never thought I would do it. Pretty amazing. That would be me. I can't believe they Read a journal. I journal everything. Oh, you can't believe they read it. That's private. And I don't care if you're a cop and there's not a lock. You should have respect for someone's journal. No, no, no, no. If you've committed a crime, your journal is. But you don't know that unless you read the journal. It's like a parent and you read your kid if you're suspected of a crime. But how did you have a lock? Like a little lock in a key? Well, that's a diary. Well, I mean, I have one of those. Oh, you have a diary? Yeah. And I was in my therapist's office and I was like. I start to write stuff down, like how I'm feeling, and it just turns into lists of things I need to do the next day at work or ideas I have that I can, like, turn into something or. And so now we have a dedicated. It's a die. Mine's a diary. And it's not work related. Well, no, we have a dedicated way we do it. On the right side of the two pages are my feelings, and on the left side are all my things I need to do and things I want to do. And so the right side, there's like a little paragraph, and the left side's like, full of crap. Every day. Almost every day. Well, that's good. Yeah, but I never written down, like, solar car. Do you use, like a journal prompt? No, I don't need a prompt. What do you mean by that? A prompt, like you add questions. I don't need that. I have like 100 questions right now. Okay. Yeah, I don't need a prompt. Sorry. You don't need a prompt? No. You don't need a prompt for your feelings? It sounds like that page is full. No, I just don't like feelings. Exactly. But a prompt can help you. You know, my prompt would be it. Ask me a question. I'd be like, this is a stupid question. You can write that down. And I'd be like, why do I think things are stupid? Yeah, I do that. Yeah. There you go. Lunchbox. Good job. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. I was told you're upset with me because I'm not giving you more bets that you were complaining about it when I wasn't around. No, I didn't complain about it. I just said, oh, I haven't gotten a bet lately. I need to get a bet. Not what I was told. This is what happened. I asked Amy Just in casual conversation in passing. Hey, Amy, have you been betting lately? Oh, no. Bobby hadn't been giving me bets. I don't know why he hadn't been giving me bets. Does he think I'm bad luck? Does he think I need to pick my own teeth? And she went on like a five minute rant about Bobby not giving her a bet and how she's angry and I don't know why. Let's file this under exaggeration. I feel all three levels of this are exaggeration. But is there any chance you're under. Underselling? How? No, no. I saying, oh, yeah, I need a bet. Like, yeah, yes. Maybe I said, why hasn't he given me a bet? Because we were betting regularly and then the bet just went cold. But I wasn't. I didn't make it a big deal. I just assumed we forgot. Well, you can always go to 25 whistles. Okay. Sports show in here. Yeah, but I like the direct bet. To me. I know, but if I forget, that's where to go. Right? I only gave one bet this last week where I was like, this is the. And there's no such thing as a guaranteed winner. Never. There's no such thing as a lock. There's no such thing as a guaranteed winner. But I had a pretty much guaranteed winner. Pretty much, like, Yeah, I love how he just literally made up that I said that. I thought maybe you were bad luck or I was bad luck for you. Oh, no, no, not that at all. But if you'd have been listening, I would have said, bet the Georgia money line. That's the only thing I could promise everybody. Okay. And they hit, they won. So that probably cost you a little bit of money. Cool. Cool. Yeah. But you gotta ask me, though, too. Okay, I'll ask. That's because I forget. We do so much draft kinging all day long on the sports show that unless you're like, hey, give me the bet this week. Okay. I feel like that was more of my vibe of like, I think we just forgot. Shoot. Why hasn't he given it to me? But, you know, it turned into that I was going off on it and you know what's coming up now, right? The playoffs of some sort. What's what sort? Oh, oh, you mean what the sport? Basketball. Well, that's already happening. Okay, but the big thing that's happening. Super Bowl. Well, no, not yet. In February. College championships. Yeah. The College Football Playoff. Not this weekend, but next weekend. Okay. I'm gonna set you up big time. Yeah. What do you want, like. Do you want, like, a new house or a new car? No, obviously, I know that's not how it works, but I would like to place some bets because it does help me actually care. But why do you need to care? Because I don't care about football. I know. That's what I'm saying. But why do you feel like you need to care? Because it's fun. Okay. Just making sure. If you remind me, I gotcha. Gotcha. Okay, thank you. That's it. Done. See you tomorrow.
