Wherever you get your favorite shows, come hungry for season fourth. Wake up, wake up in the morning's on the mic. So you know what this is? Let's go. This is the Bobby Vaughn Show. I was flipping through TikTok and I saw this guy, he has a country radio show and he was doing one second of a 90s country song. He was nailing him. He was good. Then listeners started tagging me in videos because that's something I'm pretty good at, Something we've been doing on our show for a while. His name is Jesse Tack. He does a radio show in Cincinnati. He came up this morning and I thought we'd play against each other, which is pretty fun. So I. I don't remember leaving these comments, but I guess I commented on the stuff. Jesse's here now again. Jesse Tack at Jesse Tack Radio. What was one of the comments I left on your videos and would it say what time I left it? No. Sometimes wake up like 2:30 in the morning and. No. I'm a little out of. Well, and they've been tagging you for months and months. Oh, people have been people. Yeah. I was like. Right. I guess Bobby did this to somebody. That makes sense. Okay, so go ahead, Bobby. We did this bit for like 10 years. So maybe cheating because I've had quite experience, but I'm definitely 2:00 in the morning by that writing. Yeah, go ahead. But I'd give you a run if you wanted. That was the first comment and I. That's not that bad. Go ahead. I get worse, don't worry. Well, the second one. Second comment, two days after that. Good work. Now we're getting a little more complimentary. I'm up for the challenge. Been doing this bit for about 10 years, so I might have a memorization advantage because you're solid for sure. Pay per view, WrestleMania. See, was that another video or was that the same video? Really bad for the same one. Like, I chased it. I went back to it because I like that he put the 10 years in both of them. Just in case I missed the first one. Yeah. Scuba. Do you have them already ordered? Yes. Yeah, Ray's got them right here on the wall. Okay. You can pick if you want to go first or second that way. Okay. You want to go first? Sure. These are all hits. 90s country. Only the hits. Okay. Only the hits. Come on. I mean, that's. That's a good one. The softball. All right, go ahead. The river. You're doing artist dance song. I know I usually do. Yeah. Okay, go ahead. She's in love with the boy Trisha. Year would good. That's good. Jody Messina heads Carolina. Let's go. Shai. Any man of mine. Good one. Oh, Billy Ray. It can break your heart. Ellie Jackson. Chattahoochee. Good. George Straight. Check. Yes or no. Joe Diffie. Tracy Bird. Oh, so listen, I got to tell You. Tracy Bird has. Tracy Bird has messed me up more than any other artist because a lot of his songs sound like other artists. Mark Chestnut, specifically. And there's another Tracy as well. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Fancy Reba. She thinks my character's sexy. Kenny, good job. Joe Diffie again. Oh, I can't hear it again. John Deere Green. Is that right? Yeah. Whoa. Can I hear it again? Yeah. The drums will get you every time because the song slow ends up being much slower. So we have this thing. I can't even hear. We have this thing. Play it again for Amy. We'll be quiet. Yes, but then give me more. Where does it go from there? Okay. Okay. That might be the most impressive one. Good job. Well, the drums always. The drums are the hardest ones because they're. They have the least amount of music in them. I think the other joke, like, probably up to the jukebox, is difficult, too, because it starts off with a very ballady piano, and then it ends up going because it shifts a bit where it's like being dead. So I think John Diffie's got a. Or Joe Diffie's got a couple of those. How many more we got two. Yeah, there's two. Then there's that one. Tiebreaker. Okay. Go ahead. Dust on the bottle. David Lee Murphy. That's good. Saw your brown. Some girls do. There's a tiebreaker. Well, I mean, you're up one. How does the tiebreaker work? There's one left. We're not tied. You're not tied. Bobby's winning. Yes. No tiebreaker. Neither. So Bobby won. Get the hell out of here. Jesse. Dang. Let's go. I mean, every time you play that bell, I try to guess that too, but what is that? Hey, Bobby. I'll go comment in his videos. It's a valiant effort by both of us. Tracy Bird. Every time. Man. Eddie thought he was followed yesterday. When you freak out about stuff like this, like, why would you think you were being followed? Because I noticed someone behind me following me. You're missing the question. What about you would be followed? Why would someone be following you? It's a good question. At the time, I always think, like, oh, this is a robbery. Got it. Okay. You know, because I saw on the news that there have been carjackings, and, like, this could be one of those situations. I'm not making fun of you. I just wondered that's where I would go first. Like, why are they following me? Like, what do I have to offer? And it could be that they want to steal your Car. So what happens? Walk me through it. So I was driving back from dropping off my kids at practice. It was nighttime, and I noticed these headlights behind me that were just very close. No big deal. It's. We're on the road. It's a four lane road. No big deal. But then everywhere I would turn, that car would turn. So on a four lane, they were in your lane and closer than they should have been. Correct. They could have passed me if I was going too slow, but they were right on me. Were you trying to look in the car and see if it was a cop or somebody you knew? Yeah, you know, you kind of. It's dark, so you kind of look in the rear view and you can just tell it was a regular car. But no lights on top, so it wasn't a cop. Okay, so you turn. So I took a right on. It wasn't where you were going. You just took a right to see if this car would fall? No, my house was probably two miles down the road straight. Go ahead. And so I take a right. Not in a neighborhood. Just take a ride on this random street. The car takes a right. Okay, what are you thinking now? I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, this is 100 following me. Whoever's in there, maybe I cut them off. Maybe I did something. Like I'm thinking like, okay, is it a robbery? Did I. Is. Are they road raging? You accidentally maybe cut them off? Correct. So then I'm like, all right, I have to. Do I have to just go into a neighborhood that will tell me 100%. Is your heart beating fast? One? Yes. What were you thinking you were gonna have to do? Speed off, Call the cops first off and then speed off, say, someone's following me. Did you have your phone ready? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Were you ready? Ready for an altercation? No, that's the last thing I want. Especially with someone following you. You don't. Don't know who's in there? Don't know if they have a gun? No. Okay, so I pull into a neighborhood. They pull in a neighborhood. No way. Here's another deal, too. I didn't put my signal light on on purpose. I didn't want them like, oh, signal light. Okay. So you whip it. Whip it good. I whip. They went in. Oh, my goodness. I'm being followed. So I go to the neighborhood. Don't know the neighborhood. I don't know the streets. I don't know if it's a dead end. I don't know where these streets are taking me. I take a Left. He takes a left. This cr. At this point, I'm like, all right, I'm reaching for the phone. I have the phone. I'm going to call the cops. But then I see like a cul de sac up ahead. I say, you know what this is? This is the telltale sign sign. Like, if I'm going to the cul de sac and he's there, this is it. Showdown, baby. Because there's only a few houses there. There's really nowhere to drive through. If you go to a culdesite, that's a dead end. Yes. Okay, go ahead. So I go into the culdesac. I look at my rear view. Car goes straight, pulls into a driveway, parks, goes in their house. So just. Oh, completely unlucky. What are the odds that the whole time this car that was tailgating me is going into that neighborhood cuz they live there? And I just randomly was trying to get, like, get away from them. Any chance they were following you and they just pulled into a house to throw you off the scent? I thought about that. But then when I got out of the cul de sac, I drove by the house and they had gotten. They'd gotten in the house. They have grocery bags in their arms. They're walking into broccoli coming out of the top of the bag. That was their home. Were you freaked out? I was relieved when that happened. Do you think he's. Do you think he was nuts during the whole situation? He's a little paranoid and he made up some story inside. But I think it's good to stay aware. Situational awareness is key, so good for you. But what if he wasn't situationally aware? He was just way paranoid. Like, there's really nothing to be aware of except somebody was on the road behind him. What do you think really happened? I think that you think they're really tailgating them. No, I mean, I think they were going home. And this is just a weird coincidence, but a reminder to Eddie. Maybe this is just a reminder. Stay on guard. We're gonna do another one of these. Lunchbox has a story next. He was. No, it's. They're both ridiculous. So lunchbox is ridiculous story we're gonna do. But mine was real in your head. In your head. Yeah. Yeah, it was real to you for sure, Bones. Right. Another instance of Are they being ridiculous? Our lunchbox. What happened at work? We work with a bunch of idiots like we work with stupid people. And it's so annoying to me. So we get an email, says, howdy y'all excited to share. We'll be having a team outing to the Preds game on Thursday, 2:27 at 7:00pm thanks for our relationship with the Preds. We are gonna get to go have some fun. Please respond by the end of business Monday, 2 24, if you want a ticket. No plus ones. Why? Why are we so stupid? Like, we see our co workers every day. Why would we not want to bring our families? So you can meet our families. You already hang out with the co workers. They don't know your spouses. How'd that email start? How do y'all keep going? Excited to share. We'll be having a team outing to the Preds game. That's it right there. It's a. It's an outing for the people that work together to work as a team. It's not a meet and greet with the family and also everything the company offers. You don't have to take your family, your kid. Okay, let me take my wife. Like, I don't understand. It's a team outing. It's sort of like the Christmas party. It's no plus ones. It's literally just hanging out with the people you hang out with every day. It also could be a financial thing where they don't have enough money to buy food for everybody to bring a plus one at a Christmas party. They don't have enough tickets to this because I'm sure if they did, it wouldn't matter. But if they're treating as a team outing, it's not bring your family. Here's the deal. Like, 30 people from the building are going and everybody brings plus one. Now that's 60 seats. But if we. If, let's say only half the building is going, there's only 15 that say, yes, we got a lot of extra tickets. Then why are we not bringing plus ones? It's just so dumb. Like, it's like, oh, here, come hang out. See, we're here till 5 o'clock and then you can go say hi to your family and then meet back here at seven and we'll go to the game together. It's like we just hung out all day. We hung out all day yesterday. Hung out all day. You hang out with people that work in this office, you hang out with us. But this is not that. It's an office team building. It's a team building, not a family get together. Oddly, I do see him lingering around a bunch of people's desks all the time. Not the point. The point is it's an office team building. So People that do see each other at work can do something outside of work. Oh, man. It's not a. Bring your family. Yeah, probably. I bet you three people replied, yes, because they're like, oh, I. No, I have anybody to hang out. I'll hang out with you. I don't think that means that they're stupid. I think they probably know they have a limited amount of tickets. Okay. I mean, I just felt like it was pretty dumb, though. Hey, it's so exciting. We're gonna have. It's also free. You're getting mad at something free. They're not taking from you. Right. But it got. I got so excited. We said, hey, we're gonna go to the preds game. So you got inside in the middle of reading that with it before you even got one line later. No. And then I got all the way to the bottom, very end. No plus ones. Yeah, that was the last line. They should have put that in the first line. Amy, who's more ridiculous? Eddie thinking he's being chased and stalked or Lunchbox getting mad at an email? They're both pretty ridiculous. You want me to vote? I have to vote, please. Who's more ridiculous? Me. Miny. Mo. Lunchbox. Morgan, vote. Oh, yeah, for sure. Lunchbox. Okay. Just making sure. Me too. Well, yeah. You want me to vote? Okay. It's making sure. Can I vote? Yeah, go ahead. Eddie. That's like, the third time he's been followed. It's also. I think it's also ridiculous. But, yes, obviously, he's paranoid. Yes, he's very paranoid. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Eight months ago, Shay was swimming off the coast of Victoria, Canada. He was swimming. He had his GoPro documenting everything. He was even talking to the camera. And then somewhere in the middle of the swim, it slips. The camera goes all the way down. It's so dark down in the deep water, he's like, I can't get it. It's just gone. Well, earlier this month. That was eight months ago. Earlier this month, this guy named Ken, he's swimming in the same place, but he's got scuba gear. He goes down 30ft. He's like, what is that? Oh, it looks like a GoPro. That's cool. Takes it home, dries it off. Turns out he can save that memory card because it was waterproof. He looks at it. He posts some of the things online, says, does this belong to anyone? Here's some screenshots if anyone recognizes any of the pictures. And then Shay sees it on Facebook says, that's me. That's my camera. And he sends it over to Shay. So Shay's got his memories. That's crazy. Yeah, I'm surprised. I think would still be good after 30ft down. More. More so than being in the water that long. That's when stuff starts to. I just don't understand how you can put it on Facebook and then you finally see it. Like, it goes that viral to where it gets to you. Well, luckily, too, the guy didn't have anything bad on it like he's doing. That's true. Oh, God. Committing crimes or something with the camera. Definitely be like, my mic. Yeah. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. Over to Amy for the morning corny. The morning corny. Why did the teacher marry the janitor? Why did the teacher marry the janitor? He swept her off her feet. That was the morning corny. Or get a key to her heart. Oh, because they got a lot of keys. Good one. Good one.

Some of the celebrity Valentine's Day gifts are coming out. We talked about the one where Benny Blanco did the tortilla chips all the way to the bathtub, and the bathtub was filled with queso and lunchbox of that gift. You thought stupid. Absolutely stupid. I don't know why people are giving him credit for it. It's a waste of money. It's a waste of energy. It's not going to get eaten. It's stupid was the idea. Right. Okay, fair enough. Yep. Next up, there's a celebrity. I won't say who it is yet. Went all out for Valentine's Day. $100,000 worth of gifts. How does that set initially? Dumb. Okay, he got the celebrity gold necklaces, diamond earrings, shoes, clothing, candy, and a thousand dollars worth of roses. He topped it off with a homemade card that he made himself. That's cute. Help. Fine. Homemade card is fine. But the thousand dollars worth of roses. What an idiot. Okay, so the guy's Travis Kelsey. Well, he's gonna go bankrupt. I don't think so. Here's the problem. He's gonna try to keep up with Taylor swift by spending $100,000 every holiday. Guess what? Dude's gonna be bankrupt. I don't think he has to keep up with Taylor Swift. And also he has a lot of money. A lot, lot of money. And so I don't think that's keeping up. I think that's just spending kind of relative to what you have. So, yeah, he did that for Taylor Swift on Valentine's Day. A source says Travis also wanted to include something extra personal, so he did make her a handmade Valentine's Day card. I actually think you can't keep up with Taylor Swift. And if you're trying to get things for her just because you spent a lot of money on them to impress her, you can't just. A billion dollars. So I would imagine these were all things that mattered to her. His net worth, according to the loosely correct, often wrong celebrity net worth is about a hundred million dollars. So him spending a hundred thousand dollars on gifts, he's good. It ain't nothing. Your thoughts now, lunchbox? I still think I would love to see what he got his ex girlfriend. I guarantee he didn't spend anywhere near a hundred thousand dollars on Valentine's Day. Why did he spend a hundred thousand dollars? He's trying to keep up with Taylor Swift, period. I would also say that he's probably closer to marriage with Taylor than his ex girlfriend. Based on what I know about their relationship, I think that matters. He probably has more money, and he has more money than with Taylor. And he's doing television shows. I mean, because he got way more his podcast deal when they signed $100 million deal. That only happened in the past few years. So he wasn't with that girl then. Yeah. You like data or. No, No. I mean, I still think he's stupid for doing it. Like buying Taylor Swift a thousand dollars worth of roses. Like, what are you doing? Well, I guessed wrong. My. When Lunchbox wasn't in the room, I thought he was gonna think baller, but I forget he's just reacting out of jealousy. If he could do this sort of stuff, he would, I think, because we had the spend a hundred thousand dollars on anything for my wife. Okay, but you did say if you had the money, you would have spent it on a private jet to go pick up a sandwich. Now, that would have been cool, right? Because that's for you. Yes, it's for me. Yeah. Like, my wife doesn't need a thousand dollars worth of work. You don't need $300,000 or 30 for a plane to go pick up a sandwich. And you were like, that's the coolest thing ever. Yeah, I think it was a baller. Or baller buffoon. Yeah, I mean, what a major flex. I mean, what a flex. Travis Kelsey. Baller. Buffoon. Buffoon. But the same baller. Buffoon. You said baller. When the guy spent 30 grand on an airplane to bring a. He would have spent $100,000 to get her favorite meal from Paris. Baller. These roses, you can't even. Where do you put $1,000 worth of roses? You can't even look at them. You eat the sandwich quicker than the roses die. Doesn't matter. No, roses died in about an hour. What? No, they don't. Where do you get your roses? What? This is because he buys them, like, five days late. Baller, buffoon. You go buffoon, buffoon. Okay, Bones, let's talk about this $10,000 water bill. Eddie, my buddy Isaiah, he opened up his bill. It was all electronic. So he opens up and it says $10,000 that he owes. And he was like, this isn't right. Like, it's never been more than $200. You had a water issue, too, right? And yours was like, oh, yes, a very slow leak, like a size of a pinhole. But it was leaking a lot. Don't let that fool You. Because I had months and months of 600 bills every month. Got it. So the biggest was 600. Yeah. But it was a bunch of months of those. Yes. His was one for 10,000. It was two months. Okay. Total. And it was $10,000. How do you. Was that a leak? So he started thinking, he's like, you know what? I remember a conversation at dinner with my kids where one of my kids said, how long would it take for me to fill up the pond outside with a water hose? He said, no way. So he went outside, checked the hose, and sure enough, they had ran the hose from the house to a pond that he has, like a stock pond. And the pond was just dripping. I mean it was full to the max, but it was dripping out to another creek. And it had been doing that for two months. They never turned the hose on. So it wasn't even like a tiny leak. It was full blown water coming out of a hose. Correct. $5,000 a month? Twice. Yes. Oh, so do they. Because it wasn't a leak. And it was this is man made. Do they give him a. A deal on the bill? He said, I talked to him yesterday and he said, I'm trying to just negotiate it down, but. But the fact he said I used over a million gallons of water, like the proof. He's in the club. He's in the club. Million gallon club. So he doesn't know what he can do. He's waiting. Yeah, I was able to negotiate some stuff down, but it was different though. I mean, you didn't know. I didn't know, but I still was responsible for it. It's not like they were like, oh, you have a leak? Because even the water company, when they came out, they couldn't find the leak. I had to hire out of my pocket a leak detection company to come out and find it. And even to have them just come out and they found it in like five seconds. It was 400 for them to just come find it. And that was. That bill was on me, you know, it's not like it. So yeah, I just, that just money. I had to just kiss goodbye. If you get a million followers on YouTube, they give you like a plaque. We should get them like a water plaque. Yeah. Hey, million gallons, buddy. I want to go to Ivy in Texas, who's on the phone right now calling us. Hey, Ivy, you're on the Bobby Bones Show. What's going on? Good morning. Yes. Long like 10 years ago or more. My brother used to fall asleep on the phone with his girlfriend in California. And my mother received a $9,900 phone bill that we weren't expecting because they would literally be on the phone day and night. See, this is before three minutes. Yeah. Because for those that are young and you're like, we just get on your phone and talk. It doesn't matter. Back in the day, if you talked a lot, you were minute monitored. You had so many minutes that you bought in a package, and if you went over, you would get. I did get this big vanilla envelope with a massive bill in it. Yeah. It's like you always knew you were in trouble if it went from a normal standard envelope to the big. And you had pages and pages of paper. Morgan, did you ever have minute monitoring from your phone company because you're a bit younger than us? I think we did, but I don't think I had cell phones at that point because I remember talking on our house phone for a really long time. Like, house phone, you could talk unless it was long distance, because long distance was the thing. Go a couple knuckles back. Yeah. If you talk to somebody long distance, where you had to dial the area code, then it would charge more. But then long distance became kind of free. But cell phones still had minutes. But then cell phones had, like, area. What do we call it? Like, out of roaming? No, maybe roaming. That would get you. That gets you big. That gets you big, that Ivy. So did you pay the whole. Did your mom have to pay the whole thing? No, she. We just switched companies, and she just let it go to collections because she thought that it. They didn't give us a warning or anything. We just got the bill, and it was $10,000 bill. And, like, how does it get to this point? That's what I did with Columbia House CDs. Okay. But when I was, like 12 years old, I just ran. I ran like I robbed a bank. I got all those free CDs for a penny. But then what about your credit? I was 12. What did I know about credit? After eight years, I think it goes away. I think she's asking for the caller, not your Columbia. That's her mom. So I don't know. Okay. I'm just curious, like, if that impacted other people. Were you asking about me or her? I was asking about just anybody that runs from bills. Like, do you worry about your Credit? I was 12, so I didn't know what credit was. Did your mom have bad credit from this Ivy? Do you know? I think she disputed it, and she was able to get it off or paying it down or something like that. Yeah, we have a friend, too. That's. It's an, you know, famous story now. He just drove through the tolls over and over again on purpose. And then he got a bill for thousands and thousands of dollars and had to go to court. They were all like late fees because 80% of it ended up being late fees and then interest on late fees. And it was like 10, $20,000, whatever it was. And he negotiated it down to like 2000. Because their mindset is we may get none of this money if they've jacked it up so high, they may just cut bait. So if we can get anything, we'll settle. So hopefully that's what happens to your buddies. Hopefully. That sucks. Let's do one more. Let's go to Christina in Little Rock. Now we're talking about roaming a second ago. Hey, Christina, you're on the show. Hi. Hey. So what happened? Good morning. What happened with your husband? So we were stationed in Japan and he did a two week TDY to Alaska and he did not turn off his phone. So he was on roaming for two weeks and we got a $3,000 phone bill. Dude, that's crazy. Roman, that's far roaming. Yeah, that's okay. So what happened? Did you pay it or. No, we had to pay it. Oh, gosh. Yeah, we couldn't get out of it. What's the Dave Ramsey line? Like, is this the. That is. If you're buying something, he says to say, is this the best price you can give me? But I think that also when you're trying to negotiate down, it's like, is this the best you can do for me? Like, this is crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. Christina, how long ago was that? This was about 10 years ago. Yeah, roaming is a bit different now still, though, if you go to another country, which I've had to do some work stuff in other countries, it's like, you have landed now every minute over this is going to cost. So it tells you, like, from now on, it's going to cost you more because you're in a foreign country. But yeah, that. That's sucky one. I just turn my phone off and. Or don't just use WhatsApp. I just go to payphones everywhere. Christina, thank you for the call. Absolutely. You guys have a great day. Yeah, you have a great day, too. Let's go to Mel in Virginia. Hey, Mel. Good morning, studio. Morning. Yeah, I. I mean, my bill wasn't as big as everyone else's, but we were selling our house and we had a home inspection. Done. And the inspector left. Well, we got a bill for just shy of a thousand dollars and couldn't figure out what it was because our bill's never even been remotely close to that. And after some investigating, we realized our had been left on by the home inspector. Oh, that wasn't even your fault. No. Yeah. So. Yeah. How does a fan rack up a $1,000 bill in a month, though? What kind of fan was it? A big industrial fan? It was the heating fan. The pump fan? Yeah. Maybe I just. For the heating. So it ran. The fan ran constantly for the heat. Oh. And y'all weren't in the home? They selling it? Okay, we're in the home. But it just. It ran constantly. So it was always on? Yeah. Were you sweating ever? I thought when you were selling it, you're. You had moved out. So it ran. But you didn't get. No, no, it just. It just. I don't know how it all works, but, yeah, we got a Just shy of a thousand dollar electric bill. Did you go to the inspector? Mr. Inspector, we'd like a thousand dollars, please. No, we didn't. We called the realtor and let him know, and he just said it wasn't our realtor, it was our buyer's inspector for the home inspection because we're the seller. Did you get it back whenever? No, no, we just paid it. But it was unfortunate that it happened. I'd say so. Well, we appreciate you sharing that call with us. Thank you. Y'all have a good day. That sucks. If it wasn't your fault at all. Yeah, I mean, that may be even worse. I know the money's not as high, but it may be even worse if you didn't do it at all like somebody else did. Let's take this call from. Let's do Dan in Massachusetts. He's over on eight. Hey, Dan. Yes, what's up, buddy? Is this Bobby Bones? Yes, sir, it is. What do you want to say? Morning, studio. Morning. Awesome. So I got a $7,000 water bill on my father's house that we had to rent out after he perished. And they. The town only takes a water meter reading twice a year. So she had flushed a toilet in the basement and it was still running. And it ran for six months. I'm in the million gallon club myself. Oh, my God. I got paid. I had to pay a $7,000 water bill. And even though I tried to hire a lawyer to sue the town to get it reduced because I didn't use water and sewer, it was just clean water going into the system. They wouldn't. They wouldn't reduce the bill at all. The water bills in their town is non negotiable and interest and penalties. If you don't pay it, they'll own your house within a year. I had to remortgage my house to pay the water bill. Oh, my gosh. Question. So this is on rental units, right? Well, yeah. In the state of Massachusetts, the landowner is responsible for the water bill. So here's a question for you. If it's on rental units and that is a business that you have, could you write that off as lost through business? Which a lot of times you can write a lot of that off. I couldn't in that case, because I wasn't. It was my. Because it was in. It wasn't. It was in probate. My siblings and my stepmom and everybody were all fighting over the house. Everything went wrong here. Everything. We used to have to jiggle the handle growing up on the toilet. That's what we did. If you were kind of poor, that was too. What to get to stop running old toilet. So we had to jiggle the handle a lot or it would just run forever. But you would hear it. But if you're not there, if nobody's there for six months, you don't hear it. We had a. When we had our house in Arkansas, we had a pipe bust because what happened was it froze and we weren't there and a pipe bust and it flooded the laundry room. And luckily our across the street neighbor would go and just check on our house when the weather got bad. And he was like, you have a flood in your basement. It'd probably been like two or three days. And so it wasn't $1,000. It was like a four or $500 water bill. But the whole house would have flooded if we didn't. He didn't go check on it. And I'd have been in the Million Point Club. That's my goal. I wanted to be in the million gallon club. Dan, thank you for your story, man. I'm really sorry to hear that. It's part of life. You know how it goes. That's showbiz, baby. That's what I say. That's right. All right, buddy. Have a good day. The more better, the merrier title of your podcast.

So we talked about Delta and them offering $30,000 for every person that was on that flight that landed in Toron that flipped over. Remember that? Did you ever watch the video? Like the wing breaking off? Yeah, I liked that. It did exactly what it was supposed to do in that situation those airplanes are built for. If that is to happen. The wing breaks off with certain amount of pressure. Like everything kind of went right after. It went way wrong. So that made me feel pretty good. As if you got into a bad situation. The plane is built to do things to protect you, even if there's big time user error. But I thought when they said $30,000, it was way too little. Now the people on the plane think the same thing. They're suing. Which they should. So the first lawsuits following the Delta Airlines crash in Toronto last week have been filed, despite Delta officials offering $30,000 to each passenger. More lawsuits are to follow. Delta would pay out about $2.3 million if all 76 passengers agreed to accept the deal. That's nothing, right? 2.3 million to Delta. But a man from Texas who filed one of the two lawsuits says he deserves more. And you know what? I agree with that. I'm not somebody who's litigious. I've never sued anybody. I've been sued, but I've never sued anybody. So I'm not Mr. Litigious. But I think I would go, hey, we'd settle for half a million. That's what I said last week too, right? Half a million. Yeah. Yeah. I think this is 500,000. That's from the New York Post. There's another Delta flight diverted back to LAX after smoke detected on board a Delta Airlines flight was diverted. I'm suing this one too. 30,000. I want 30,000 for this one. A Delta Airlines flight was diverted back to Los Angeles after smoke was detected in the galley. The Airbus A350 900 was carrying 162 passengers. It landed safely at the airport. Passengers can be re accommodated on other flights. The incident follows to several aircraft collisions in North America. This is from Yahoo. This is a story that would have never made the news had other flight stories not been making the news. I did look it up. I went to the FAA website where they do have a plane crash or plane incident listing. We're still way below where we were last year as far as plane crashes. It's only February. No, no, we're at the same spot in the year. Oh, same spot in the year. Okay, okay. Where we are now in the year. We're still way below where we were last year. Now there have been a. There was a terribly tragic one in Washington D.C. which when that's main news, they just want to take everything around and make it main news as well. And the Toronto thing sucks. I've never seen anything like that. But there have been less plane crashes. But that one in D.C. kind of started the whole news cycle of let's talk about plane crashes. A UFO sighting grounds airport flights in Turkey. An airport in Turkey was supposed to forced to suspend operations after a mysterious unidentified object flying in the sky was spotted. February 18, 10pm Pilots spotted the UFO traveling near the airport at an altitude of about 10,000ft. They radioed control tower, prompting the air hub to ground all flights for an hour while they tried to identify the mystery craft, which apparently did not appear on the radar. But everybody could also see it. All the pilots could see it with their eyes, but nobody could see it on radar at the exact same time. So did it have some sort of a detection shield? Yes, called aliens. Following their investigation, airport security concluded that the UFO was likely a drone being piloted without permission. There we go. Stealth drone. The airport subsequently resumed operations. People are Going, yeah, that's the easy explanation. You can just say drone and make the story go away. That's what's up. That's from the New York Post. A nothing weekend. Is it okay to do nothing on the weekend? Health experts say yes, and you should have a nothing weekend. Occasionally. It's completely normal not to do anything on the weekend and let your mind and body reset. Did you have a nothing weekend by any chance? It wasn't totally nothing, so no. But I mean, I'm on board with nothing weekends. But I did a little bit of work every day even. Yeah, Saturday and Sunday. There was still some work involved, which I like to at least have one full day from the weekend where there's no type of work at all. But that wasn't this last weekend. Tiktokers are dropping heavy objects on their feet and a new viral trend. This is the dumbest viral trend I've ever seen. Well, one of them top three I've seen ones that don't look as dumb but could hurt you worse. But this is like the. There is no benefit in this because it's going to hurt you. Just if. Even if it's just. Ouch. A podiatrist has said, hey, guys, don't do this because you'll have a lifetime of pain and disability. There's a viral trend where people drop objects, including air fryers and toasters on their feet. No. Oh, how do you. Dropping things on my foot naturally. With a reflex, like, move your foot away. Like, how do you. You know, I don't think my brain would let me do that. Like keep my foot there. You'd have to tape it down. Luke Pilling received more than 3.8 million views for a video which shows him jumping around his room in pain after dropping a toaster, air fryer and computer monitor on his feet. Asked why I decided to join the trend. Curiosity. And just because it was funny. And basically 4 million views later. That's from the Herald. It's very much Three Stooges. Like, what's old is new again. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do that one. I'll give you one more story. JetBlue passenger blesses the plane with holy water amid people on the airplane. Kind of freaking out. So if you're on an airplane, I. I hope you say your prayers, but I would say them to yourself. If you're getting up and doing anything. If you. If you're demonstrative at all on an airplane and your water and doing big prayer. I don't know, I'm kind of freaking out. Yeah. I'm like, do they know something I don't know or what? Are they gonna do that too? Okay. Yeah. One of the two. Like, they're. They're obviously something's not. Say your prayers to yourself. Heck, same with the person next to you. But if you're up and you're doing throwing holy water on the plane, inside the plane, and you're praying loud, I'm like, what's about to happen here? That is exactly what happened here. The person that recorded it got 5.6 million views on TikTok. So record this more than dropping stuff on your feet. Is that all that's safer? The person can be seen dipping their fingers in a bottle of holy water and then using it to paint the sign of the cross in the doorways. No, that's. And we're all for the cross. We're all for praying. It's just that that's something that in that situation you probably do to yourself. And maybe this holy water could be worse. It could have been blood. Pee blood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. There you go. That's where Bobby's big stories, Bones. How much money to quit your job here and travel the world? Like, how much would it take? Because they asked a whole bunch of people this. According to research, they have the magic number. It's the average amount Americans say they need in the bank before they feel comfortable leaving their current life to just go travel and take some months off and then figure it out after that lunchbox. Your answer. 2 million. The answer is 287,000. Oh, you went 2 million. He loves his job. He doesn't. No, no, I don't love my job. But I figure when I come back, I'm not going to have a job, so I need something to live off of. Like I have three kids, so. And that's 2 million. You said you'd retire with a 1 million win on a scratch off, but I assume. But he needs to travel. Yeah, I have to travel. That's what I'm saying. If I was retiring and I didn't to go anywhere. A million dollars, I could probably make it work. But if I'm going to take five people, if I'm going to take five people around the world, it's going to cost a lot more than the normal person. So it had to be 2 million. Cuz, Amy, your number. I. I'd be worried something wasn't going to be here for me when I came back. So can I pass on the offer? What in the world. The job. What? Yeah, like I'm not, I'm nowhere ready to let go of something because, listen, I've been paying way more attention to when I'm older. And what kind of life do I want to live? I'm gonna be working for a long time. These guys here, they can't wait to retire, but they're saving nothing. I already know. Oh, I need way more savings. So what do we do? Have you guys started doing your 401k? Oh, I saw that they're matching now, so. They are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They brought it back. So I've already inquired. I had a call with them two weeks ago. Okay. No, my question was, did you start? I have not been putting money into it yet. Not yet. But you inquired? I did inquire. Wow. Wait, they really said they're going to match them? Yes, they've been doing that for a lot of the time. That's on and off, on and off. Let me check that. I can get that email. Morgan. Oh, yeah, I've had my 401k for like 5 years now the company offers it 401k. Now they're matching. One third of respondents would want half a million dollars. The average was 287,000. 18% would do it for under 50,000. They hate their job. That's all. Just take some money to quit. Yeah. And you're not. To me, you have to really not be thinking about when you get back from traveling, like what in the world you're going to do. They also said, hey, if we gave you a 1 million dol travel budget, how would you spend the money? Oh, oh, amazing. 37% they would prioritize taking family and friends on a dream vacation. 24% they would road trip. 21% they would visit famous landmarks. Me, I would just like take a road trip about an hour away, come back and keep the other $993,000. That's so smart. Yeah. Ain't spending that on a trip for anybody. I was like, I'm just gonna put my little goggles on. What are your little virtual goggles and go on vacation. Yes. I can put on my Apple, just do some Google images and call it a day and keep my million bucks. Lobby bone show Story of the day. This story comes to us from Gulfport, Florida. A 29 year old man walked into a Dollar General, got $65 worth of stuff and walked out. And one of them was a box of goldfish. And as he's leaving, he's eating the goldfish. He Finishes them and throws the box in the parking lot ground. They were able to pick it up, get his fingerprint. Boom. That's how they busted him. I'm surprised they would go to Fingerprints for 65 in shoplifting, right? No. Seems like a lot of work. Maybe it's gotten easier than that little brush that they use. I don't know. It still seems like CSI to me. I'm surprised they would fingerprint that shoplifting unless it was, like, a serial shoplifter. Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Check this out, Amy. A daycare in Michigan has promised they'll be no more melatonin spray directed at kids while in their care. Okay. Well, they must have gotten in trouble for it. That is not okay. A few parents were a little bit upset after learning that an Adventures Learning center employee had sprayed three different nap mats with Dr. Teal's sleep spray with melatonin and essential oils. Thoughts? Wow. No, that's not okay. I mean, if I'm paying that place, I want a refund. Yeah, I guess you would need to say you want them to do that and even give it to them yourself, right? If it's your kid. Oh, yeah. Like, yes, you can't melatonin. So many kids react differently to that. You. Oh. And that could be causing major problems. Even when you pick them up, if they have a reaction like, I am not normal. After I take melatonin, the next day, I feel horrible. And you imagine if you're a kid and they're acting all wonky and it's because your place drugged them. Video of the treatment was recorded by a parent who'd been monitoring the daycare's live feed. Ooh. Oh, yeah. If you have a live feed, why are you doing that out? You take the mat and you go to the bathroom, you spray it. You don't do that out in the open because you're doing something shady anyway. Cause obviously they want the kids to go to sleep. Yes, 100%. So. Melatonin is a natural hormone. It hasn't been approved by the FDA for use in children, and everybody reacts differently to it. According to Dr. Nick Cokes, it's. It's likely that it's safe. But there's a big difference between a parent using melatonin and other children and someone who's in charge of someone else's kids who get no permission to do it. So W o o d t b with that. And obviously, this is a worker at this place who's just Exhausted of kids and probably needs to find a new area. Well, I was thinking in particular the three kids. The mat got sprayed. Wasn't it three? I would imagine it's way more than that. I imagine they only saw it one time and called and said, hey, we just saw this. Oh, okay. I thought they were like, this little kid never takes a nap. They will do that to my kid for sure. If I were assuming, I would assume this has been happening for a while. They just stopped once. They caught it once. Because I don't think you watch them do it. And they go, I'm gonna wait till the next day to watch if they do it again and then report it. So there's that. It sounds like if I had my kids in that daycare, I'd either be like, yeah, I felt that. Or I'd be like, get them out immediately. One of the two. We're done. Thank you guys. We'll see you tomorrow.
