[Amy]

NPR's Self Help podcast we love the idea of helping you make meaningful lifestyle changes.

[Bobby Bones]

Our policy is to never be too punishing on yourself or or two grand.

[Amy]

In your goals, which is why we've got shows on how to make little nudges to your behavior and create habits that stick. Listen to the Life Kit podcast on iheartradio.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards, multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirrorball trophy from Dancing With a Star. So where else are you going to find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything. Listen to Lots to Say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at the Daily show, which means he's also back in our ears on the Daily Show Ears Edition podcast. Join late night legend Jon Stewart and the best news team for today's biggest headlines. Exclude exclusive extended interviews and more. Now this is a second term we can all get behind. Listen to the Daily Show Ears edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Wake up. You wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Riding his wigs. Next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. Now to Amy with the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

[Amy]

What do you call a camel with no humps?

[Bobby Bones]

A camel with no humps.

[Amy]

Humphrey.

[Bobby Bones]

Humphrey. Okay, funny. That was the Morning Corny. Is Eddie becoming the new Amy?

[Amy]

What does that mean?

[Bobby Bones]

That's the question. You both are offended. Yeah. Yeah. What on earth? That's the question a lot of listeners are asking.

[Amy]

Oh, because he's clumsy.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he's quite injury prone. Oh, less than two years. Yeah. The three injuries plus an honorable mention at number three, Eddie sliced a tendon in his left hand with a knife. That was like seven years ago. Yeah, yeah. All good. That happened. Number two broke his foot while covering second base. We were throwing the ball at the Cardinals. Just broke his foot. What a story. Playing with the Cardinals. Broke my foot on second base, kinda. That was last year. Yeah. Number one broke his arm while roller skating. Still hurts. And for honorable mention, thought he had cancer because he ate popcorn.

[Amy]

Clear. I've never done anything that ridiculous. Like thought I had cancer because of popcorn.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but like hurting his stomach so bad he's like, I think I have cancer. To be fair, I'd read news stories of people that said they had. It just started with a little pain in their stomach. Next thing you know, they got stomach cancer. If you start googling anything about pains and where they turn, you're gonna find something bad.

[Amy]

Also, I've never broken anything ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you jinx yourself? I had neither until I broke my foot.

[Amy]

I've said that lots because I've never broken anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Pushing it.

[Amy]

I've never.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she's doing it. Why are you doing this? Why do you keep doing that? What are you doing? Stop doing that.

[Amy]

I have fallen a lot and never again a single bone in my body.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, be careful.

[Amy]

I just don't know if it's possible.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no. What is she doing? Why is she doing that? Lunchbox. What's happening? A bracelet dilemma, man. My four year old kid, he got me a bracelet for Christmas. Got it or made it? Made it. Like he goes to the store with my wife and gets to pick something out and he picked a bracelet making kit and he went home and he made a bracelet. Oh, that's cute. How did you feel about him picking the bracelet making kit? Well, I didn't know about it until. Yeah, there, there's the bracelet.

[Amy]

I'm looking at it and I'm. What's the default? It's just beads.

[Bobby Bones]

It's pretty. No, no, no, guys. Like, that is a chick bracelet. Okay. But I can't imagine there are a lot of masculine beads in the bracelet kit. But I didn't know that's what he got until I opened it. And there's the bracelet and I'm like. And he's like, dad, I got it for you. And guys, I mean, pretty much every day when I get home from work he's like, dad, did you wear your bracelet to work today? And I'm like, oh, man, I must have forgot it. I must have forgot it. And he asked me, and I'm like, I can't wear that because it looks like a chick bracelet. Like, if I wear that, people are gonna be like, dude, what is going on? I don't think people will think a thing about it. I don't think people pay close enough attention to you. Not just you specifically, any of us. Like, sometimes we're like, I don't know if I should do this. Can do this. Because we think people are always focused on what we're doing. They're not. You could wear this and nobody. We might give you a hard time now because we know about it. Yeah. Or if we saw you wearing a bracelet because we know you, we'd be like, dude, what's up with the chick bracelet? I mean, nobody's gonna care. That's tough for my image. What is your image? It is not hardcore. It is not that.

[Amy]

It is not pink, peach and pearls.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Thank you, Amy. That is definitely not it. I guarantee you that is not my image. Let's do a little exercise here. Target. Okay, you're tugging. What do you think? Your image. How do people perceive you generally? Rough and tough. Hardcore. Rough around the edges and that. Would you guys tell me? No, no. None of that, actually, I just. That ain't it, man. And that bracelet you don't want to wear. I mean, it looks like. I mean, that looks like what Amy said. Pearls. Pink.

[Amy]

Pink peach and pearls.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you had, like, Stone Cold Steve Austin wearing something like that, you wouldn't. Twice. No, he wasn't wearing. You know, he's a manly man. Yes, but he wouldn't wear that. Might have, like, his kid made it for him. Do you have it on today? No, man. Like I said, I tell him every day when I get. Oh, I forgot, man. I forgot. Why don't you put it in your car and whenever you get in your car to go home, you put it on? No, no, he. He watches the videos, guys. Oh. Oh. On this. So you should be wearing it, right? Yeah, you should be wearing it. Yeah. Like, my wife. Like, he now knows there's videos. He's like, dad, can I see that at work? Can I see that at work? And my wife will play him, like, the Instagram videos or whatever, and he looks. And he doesn't ever see the bracelet. So what are you going to do? Are you going to say, hey, it's not for Me? Or are you going to wear the bracelet because you can't really stand purgatory. I thought about just taking a picture and then saying, look, dude, I wore your bracelet. And then maybe he'll totally forget about it. Do a whole shoot with like seven different shirts in one day. This is all you wearing the bracelet. Oh, man, that's just. I mean, that is. That's rough, man. I don't think it's that bad. I would wear the bracelet. I would wear that, right? And then I'm like, my wife. Why did you let him pick out that? Okay, now we're getting down to it.

[Amy]

Picked it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't you want a doll at some point? Like a Barbie or something, too? At one point? No, he wanted rainbow cleats. He wanted rainbow cleats. Why does he want that? I don't know. I like rainbow. I like pink.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's fun.

[Bobby Bones]

My shoes today, they're pink. Powerpuff Girls. Powerpuff Girls.

[Amy]

Pink and peach.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, those are literally pink and peach. Powder Puff Girl. Nike. Isn't that against your image, though?

[Amy]

Bobby, wear your.

[Bobby Bones]

I think my image is a little more hardcore than his, and I don't give a crap. Yeah, those. The. The. The rainbow cleaves was tough, man. I had to tell. Oh, they don't have them in your size. What are you going to do? I don't know. Need to commit one way or the other.

[Amy]

Well, now that he watches videos, you probably stop lying on the videos.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, I just tell him I forgot.

[Amy]

Every day there's going to be a video. Mom, why is Dada saying. He says he forgets the bracelet, but he really.

[Bobby Bones]

He watches this video.

[Amy]

Why did he tell me the cleats were sold out when they were?

[Bobby Bones]

What happened? The cleats are sold out, he said. That's what I told him.

[Amy]

That's what he told him. Oh, man, they're sold out.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't have any size. But why don't you just let him wear the rainbow cleats? Rainbow clicks in a pink bracelet, bro. D, there's nothing wrong with it. Oh, man, he likes pink. He doesn't necessarily pink, but he want to bring that. He thought it was so cool. And the rainbow cleats, I was like, oh, my God, we can't show it to soccer anymore.

[Amy]

Do you know, back in the day, actually, pink and salmon was really, really masculine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What happened?

[Amy]

Be boy colors.

[Bobby Bones]

Different times, though. But I have pink tennis shoes on today. You're feminine.

[Amy]

No, but we need to.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm feminine.

[Amy]

Drop the Stereotypes.

[Bobby Bones]

Earlier in the show, Amy thought that she might be psychic because she moved all of her stuff out of her garage the day before her garage exploded and water went everywhere.

[Amy]

Well, all the stuff I needed to get rid of for donation or throw away, but I didn't, like, clean out my entire garage.

[Bobby Bones]

You're like, maybe that was like some sort of premonition, like, I might be psychic.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we sent her into my office, sitting in the dark. She sat there for many minutes, and we said, don't let your mind go anywhere specific. You go where it takes you, and then you come in here and make a psychic prediction, and then we will see if it comes true. Was it hard to calm down and. And move things out of the way to have this?

[Amy]

Yeah, it's just like, well, what's a real thought that I'm having or a thought that I'm trying to have or. It was difficult.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray, can you give me some psychic music? Oh, that's good. Yeah. So how'd you feel in there?

[Amy]

Pretty calm. It was relaxing. You have a pillow in there?

[Bobby Bones]

I do have a pillow in there. I gave it to him for Christmas. No need to take credit for something, but thank you. Did you lay?

[Amy]

Yeah, I laid for a little bit. And then I sat at your desk.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you able to find stillness?

[Amy]

I tried, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And what thoughts started to come.

[Amy]

Who's gonna win the Super Bowl?

[Bobby Bones]

That's why you came?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, there are. Okay, two teams left, but she probably doesn't even know. Yeah, yeah. Do you even know who the two teams are? Okay, this is interesting. This is very interesting. So we'll find that. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna say nothing. We're gonna say nothing after she says this. Say nothing on if the team won or lost this week. I said nothing. I like this, though.

[Amy]

I could have swore just the other day. We talked about there being.

[Bobby Bones]

Well just the other day, but this weekend they played. Okay.

[Amy]

I've. I've. I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

We will know immediately if she's schooled correct. Don't make a noise. Let's just let her sit on it and live with it.

[Amy]

Oh, shoot.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's. What, like? What'd you visualize? Colors, people, teams.

[Amy]

Something in the sky.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so you see something in the sky a lot. What'd you say? In the sky?

[Amy]

An eagle.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Amy]

But I also saw a cat a lot, but I think that's. For me. I think I'm getting a cat.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the cats are still in it. No. The cats are out. Yeah. We can tell you that.

[Amy]

Regardless, nothing to do with the Super Bowl. That the cat has nothing to do with the Super Bowl. It has everything to do with that. I think I'm getting another cat.

[Bobby Bones]

So, on record, please tell us your psychic prediction.

[Amy]

The Eagles are gonna win the Super Bowl.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, guys, you heard it here say.

[Amy]

Nothing or something is happening with Eagles.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Amy]

Sometimes it's unclear. It may not be an Eagles football team.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not doing. You have selected the Eagles to win the Super Bowl.

[Amy]

No, but I'm just saying. Pay attention.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know what happened this past weekend. No, but Eagles came, so. So, okay.

[Amy]

Not a clue.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll humor you. Something big is going to happen with some sort of eagle. So let's just say it's not the Eagles winning the super bowl, but something all.

[Amy]

I had visions of an eagle soaring through the sky, which just made me think of the Eagles being in the Super Bowl.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

I thought that that was maybe what was happening. Okay, but the eagle is the main.

[Bobby Bones]

And. And because that eagle, it has to happen with, like, somebody close, right? This is not, like, somebody in Uruguay that's going to have an eagle. This is, like, personal and close.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe something happens with an Eagle with one of us, or the Eagles win the super bowl, or, you know, maybe someone here needs to soar.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, now she's being way too vague. Very broad, way too vague.

[Amy]

Soar like an eagle. Spread your wings. Fly.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Amy]

Towards the sun.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe one of us flies. Here at Life Kit, NPR's Self Help.

Don't go shopping at Target with khaki pants and a red shirt on. Don't go shopping at Target with khaki pants and a red polo shirt on. Switch up. An old lady came up to me. She said, how much for this cream of Wheat? This is Shane, who left us a voicemail last night. Yeah, Bobby, I've been a long time listener, been a truck driver for 30 years. I just heard the podcast the other day about Eddie with his walkie talkies and these kids. What's cbs? Let your kids talk to the truck drivers. We enjoy it. There's nothing that makes us any happier than seeing a little kid pump his arm. We could be a grumpy old truck driver, but you see a little kid pump his arm, we will honk the horn and smile ear to ear. Eddie got his kids CVs, found out they were talking to truckers. No, they were just walkie talkies like you buy at the toy store. Still talking to truckers. And he was like, should I take them away? We talked about it. I said, no. How does that end up? They still have them. I just told them their rules. We don't talk to truckers. Oh, they can't talk. Like, if channel 14 is the trucker line, like, stay away from channel 14. Boom. What about that trucker? They're saying all good. Look, I'm all about the hand, dude, the dirt. That's cool. But like, conversations with truckers, these are little kids. No, I draw the line there. There's a story about kids. And when kids start to be that preteen of, I don't like my parents anymore. My parents aren't cool anymore. So we got two parents here that are either dealing with it now or have dealt with it, and Amy and Eddie. So children start conforming with others of the same age at blank age. Amy, what do you think?

[Amy]

I'll go with 13.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie. 12? Yeah, I mean, you're both right. There it is 12. 12 and up. Before that, children largely do their own thing and are unaffected by others. From 12 on, people are more strongly influenced by their peers than their own set of values. This is from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Amy, as a parent, how did you start to deal with it once your kids started to do what the other kids did instead of, like, how they were taught?

[Amy]

I mean, I got my kids later and they were older when they came to America. So even developmentally, we're a little bit behind. So I haven't experienced it quite probably the level as other people feel like. My kids think for themselves a little bit, but they don't. They don't. They don't think I'm cool, Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

I just tell them, we're leaders. We're not followers. We make the rules. We don't follow them. Not like, did they do that sometimes just like, what they fall into a lot is the fashion stuff. Oh, everyone. Everyone's wearing this brand of shirts. So I'm going to start wearing this brand. But as far as the other Stuff they're pretty good at, like being the leader and not doing what they're doing. But you did that when everybody. No, dude, I was the trendsetter. Like, I were not, because you're not that now. There's no way. You remember in high school, dude, I started wearing Hawaiian shirts, and next thing you know, the whole school was wearing Hawaiian shirts. It was awesome. And then I started taking skateboard to school. Guess what? Everyone else took skateboards at school. I just don't think.

[Amy]

Is this what you tell your kids?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Based on the person we know now that you were any sort of trendsetter, no offense, dude, I am a trendsetter. And that's cool. Like, that's the way kids need to grow up. Like, can you imagine how much more we can do as a society if everyone's the trendsetter and not just the follower guys? Do we believe anything he's saying? No. You literally take Bobby's clothes and wear them. Bobby's given to me. I'm not even saying that. I'm just talking in general. No way. You are setting fashion rules for your school. You're not a type A personality in a wonderful way. Flip flops. Was those. Those. Oh, my God. Flip flops. Did people wear flip flops at your school? No, in my school, dude, everyone wore flip flops after I started wearing flip flops. So you were the coolest kid in school? I mean, I didn't say that, but they follow. That's what you were saying. Lunchbox. No, I didn't set any trends. You set no trends. I promise you, there's no way. I can't imagine. You had one Hawaiian shirt, and then everybody in South Texas is like, oh, my gosh, we got to get Hawaiian shirts. You lived by the beach, and you're telling me you do live by them for the water football?

[Amy]

What? If he's referring to, like, you know how we had theme days at school.

[Bobby Bones]

And it was like, hawaiian shirt Friday. No. Yeah. I just don't think. You were one kid, and then all of a sudden, you're a way different adult. Okay, dude, I was there. And this is about kids anyway. And your kids and I. And I'm just saying my kids are going to do what I'm doing because they look up to me, and I'm telling them, hey, I was the trendsetter. You think your kids look up to you? They look at everything I do.

[Amy]

They think. Do they think you're cool?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. What they do.

[Amy]

See, at least I like, is he.

[Bobby Bones]

In, like, a bizarro at least aware.

[Amy]

That my K don't think I'm cool. But I also don't think my kids are trying to do what a lot of other kids are doing. And if they are, they're just sneaking it.

[Bobby Bones]

My 17 year old, you know what he said the other day? He goes, it's pretty cool. I actually have a cool dad. Wow. That was the biggest call. Is that he getting played more than anybody else.

[Amy]

What's on?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing. He didn't. Well, he did want a record player.

[Amy]

Okay. And.

[Bobby Bones]

And he got a record player.

[Amy]

Okay, well.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Well, anyway, sorry. Everybody's got 12 year olds. Apparently, Eddie is the greatest dad ever. Didn't have to worry about it. Trendsetter. And Amy's story's a little different because.

[Amy]

Yeah, I just adopted later, so my kids. It's very different. But I will say the sneaky thing is real and social media is real. I think that that's where if all the other kids have social, that's what they say the most. Everybody has Snapchat and everybody has this. I'm like, well, okay. And so then, yeah, what do they do? Sneak it.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, thank you, Bones. Bobby's Big Stories. You might want to keep a container of baby powder with you, because this is the number one smell they say helps fight stress. Researchers found that smelling baby powder can trigger subconscious memories. Positive subconscious memories, because it goes back to when you were a baby and you had baby powder put on your butt and times were good because you didn't have a water bill to pay. They didn't tell the water bill stuff. That's what happens in my head. Like, once life happens and you got to start paying water bills, that sucks. Is that what Diddy had? Water? No. Oil got different. Yes.

[Amy]

Very different.

[Bobby Bones]

It was laced, like, allegedly, that there were. Yes. Drugs. Baby oil.

[Amy]

We love that word.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta say allegedly on everything. Yeah. You know, allegedly I'm here today. That's from the Scent of Desire by Rachel Hearst, PhD. Sean Diddy Combs. Baby oil was allegedly laced with date rape drug. Got it. That's from 10 Philadelphia.

[Amy]

Just make sure you don't have the baby powder that had the asbestos. You don't want to snort that.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's snorting anything or inhale?

[Amy]

You said sniff it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, smell it. Just the smell of it.

[Amy]

I know, but if you sometimes take.

[Bobby Bones]

Things to a whole new level, someday she's off her Adderall, so you never know what version you're gonna get.

[Amy]

But sometimes if you take a strong inhale, you might get a little okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up from newsobserver.com Mental Health Professionals Express the importance of properly dealing with the disappointment of a loss of your favorite team in a healthy way. Oh, God. Now Super Bowl's coming up. All you Eagles fans, all you Chiefs fans, I need to read this. Arkansas lost another basketball game, and we played Oklahoma. And my wife's big Oklahoma. Oh, it was miserable. And I was texting with her dad at the same time. Her dad, massive Oklahoma fan. But you know what? I like texting with him because we both are like, we're probably gonna lose. And then when he didn't lose, he was like, oh, man, you guys played well. Like, he's fun, classy. Yeah. Caitlin's like, I told you, you suck. She's hardcore. But first off, they say lay off the alcohol after the game. Yeah. Excessive drinking just makes you feel worse. Next, take a break from social media. You don't want to see people in your network gloating. Absolutely. I will not get on Twitter. Instagram, not so bad. TikTok. It'll feed me mean things sometimes about losses to games. I know because it's in my algorithm. Right. Just like Arkansas sports. But I will also avoid ESPN at all costs if we play a top 25 team, because they'll put it on the scroll on the ticker at the bottom, and I don't want to see us lose again. So I will not watch ESPN for 12 hours if we lose a game. And then the best way to get over your team losing is to be optimistic. Thinking about all the enjoyable moments during that year in the amazement. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah.

[Amy]

You don't have many moments. Can you think back to another year? Like, what year?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can think back to many years. We've sucked. 99. 98. Well, 98. We fumbled to lose the national championship to have a shot there.

[Amy]

Back with baby powder and diapers.

[Bobby Bones]

I was in college. Oh. So you're probably next up. Big Van Dyke still works out three days a week. He's 99 years old. Wow.

[Amy]

Good for him.

[Bobby Bones]

But, like, he's not lifting heavy. Like, he's just. He benches more than you. I watch. No, that's from page six. He's 99. He still does look great for 99, but I would say pretty good for 80. That's cool. Next up, Sinead O'Connor, who's saying nothing compares to you. She leaves $1.7 million to her kids and urges them to milk the sales of her music as her final wishes are revealed. She died, by the way. I don't know if you guys remember that, but she said that in like, her. Her will, like everything I've ever done. Milk it. You try to use it everywhere. Make all the money from it you possibly can. Sinead O'Connor left almost $2 million of her estate. And then, part of her wishes, she said that her albums be released after her death of music she had recorded at the discretion of any of my children who are over 18. And milk it for all that it's worth. That's pretty cool. That's from Page Six. All right, that's your news. Thank you. Those were Bobby's big stories. I guess I could have put the Eagles one and the Chiefs one, but we just talked about that. Big sports stories. So they will be playing in Super Bowl. What number do you think it is? If you were guessing?

[Amy]

50 something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay. Is that psychic or did you hear it?

[Amy]

I just. Last year, I remember being 50 something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Which one do you think it would be, though, if you were to pick one?

[Amy]

56.

[Bobby Bones]

59, I believe. Yeah, 59. L ix.

[Amy]

You turn six upside down, it's a nine.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. She's doing the psychic thing now where she's like, you did see it at some point.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I did kind of announce over the weekend that my comedically inspirational special will be on CMT a week from tomorrow, which is February 4th at 98 Central. So I didn't do a cake reveal. Yeah. And they're done already with a cake. No, I'm not. But they finally were like, you can say it. And it's not like I have a lot of lead up times. I just threw it up on Instagram. Okay. So a week from tomorrow, my comedically inspirational special that we shot, we actually shot it in three different places. It's very unconventional. It's not like just a straight stand up comedy special. It's very unconventional. And we're all over the place. We shot it in Tampa, Nashville, and Virginia beach. But again, 9, 8 Central next Tuesday night. Boom. Good. I won't even get to watch it when we plan a show in Atlanta. Oh, dang. Oh, I know.

[Amy]

What, can you, like, have it like a sports event and have it on your.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm okay not looking at myself.

[Amy]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

That's always a loss if I'm watching myself. Two things to talk about. First off, Amy says that she might have a little psychic inside of her because for some reason, she was drawn to pull all the stuff out of her garage before it exploded. There was like a huge water explosion. And so she's like, I think I'm seeing things in the future. So we had to go.

[Amy]

I did not say I'm the guy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's basically what you said. It's not basically, like two hours ago. The story's changing.

[Amy]

What I said was, it is kind of crazy, don't you think? And I wonder what my something. My intuition is really on fire right now or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Then we had her go sit in my office in the dark for five minutes and see what her next psychic prediction would be. She did not watch any of the games this weekend. She did not know anything about who won. And then she goes in and she comes out. And you said what when you came out?

[Amy]

That I was seeing an eagle soaring towards the sun. So therefore, I think the Eagles are going to win this Super Bowl.

[Bobby Bones]

She did not know the Eagles had won the game because I was talking to her way earlier this morning, watching the games. Now she did nothing.

[Amy]

So no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

You, based on your, I don't know, intuition, psychic abilities, you're not calling the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. Yes. Now, when you, you looked it up.

[Amy]

I see here that the Eagles won.

[Bobby Bones]

When we got off the air, she started going, yeah, if the Eagles didn't win, this is a minute ago. Maybe Auburn. It's for Auburn basketball. Like, she was making every Eagle excuse already.

[Amy]

No, but Eagle, even then, they did beat Tennessee. But I also said I was seeing a cat.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, what's a cat?

[Amy]

Auburn, Tigers. Okay, but War Eagle.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you picking the Eagles then? Between the super.

[Amy]

Right now we're going to stick with the Super Bowl.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the cat. See, this is what psychics do. They. They leave it vague.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I'm giving you. I'm just telling you all my secrets of what psychics do. They won last night, 55 to 23.

[Bobby Bones]

But you already knew that. You're good. You knew that before even knowing.

[Amy]

I didn't know that. What I know is they're gonna win the Super Bowl. However, I did, when I was looking this up, just see that the Chiefs won.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You missed all of that, like, just from, like, existing, maybe just. It exists everywhere I look because all my algorithms just read it to me and I watch.

[Amy]

Yeah, I was at. Well, I wasn't on social media much last night and I was not at home and I went to bed at like 8:00, so I don't. I don't know. All I know is the Chiefs have won the super bowl the last two years, so it's going to be A tough game, but the Eagles will prevail.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you be betting this on DraftKings?

[Amy]

Yes, of course.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, what do you think? The point spread is psychic. Yeah, let us know that. Yeah, no, I already know it because I bet it already. This morning, I bet it. Or last night, as soon as it was announced.

[Amy]

I have no idea that. All I know is I. You sent me to your room to sit for five minutes. All I see is an eagle soaring. And so I bring you my prediction. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Send it to the room again. Maybe we'll get a spread. Yeah, maybe there is a. I could save this for tomorrow, but I'll do it now. There is a documentary called Chief Saholic on Amazon, and I think you would be blown away by it. So it's about a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs who would be in full wolf costume. And he was their most famous fan in what they call Chief's Kingdom. And he was going to all these away games. He traveled. He was at every home game, huge social media following. Would go to all the away games, like, worked in a warehouse, graduated from Kansas State. People, for the most part, didn't know what he looked like because he was in full wolf costume. This is not a spoiler of the documentary because it was in the news. He was robbing banks, going to every away game so he could afford it. Crazy. And there's a whole documentary on it. It's awesome.

[Amy]

So where is he now?

[Bobby Bones]

What, you gotta watch a documentary for that? But he. I think he robbed, like, eight, nine, ten banks, something like that. He got to be so good at robbing banks that he was just like, boom, on it, out the door.

[Amy]

Okay, that's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

I just want to say shout out to hardcore fans. You know, people will do anything to be with their teams. But no, he was robbing all of these banks. He robbed one in Nashville. He robbed one in Iowa. He would. He'd go to, like, the Texans game and.

[Amy]

But was he ever, like. Nobody ever got harmed, right? Was he robbing?

[Bobby Bones]

This was a news story. I'll give you a couple little details because I want you to watch it. No, no, he didn't shoot anybody.

[Amy]

Well, okay. Yeah. Because then he.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be harming.

[Amy]

Okay. I guess I'm just wondering, like, because. Yeah, if you're just a fan and you're trying to afford something, like, at what lengths do you go?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, how far you don't go robbing banks. You just stay home and don't go away.

[Amy]

Bank with a banana or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Amy]

Oh, he had a gun.

[Bobby Bones]

He had a gun.

[Amy]

Not good.

[Bobby Bones]

You have to watch. Amy. You would love it. Not if you're not a sports fan at all. I would give it three and a half out of five. Like, if you're zero percent sports fan at just how absurd some people are. It also made me feel like a loser for, like, living and dying with a sports team.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you're not a Razor holic.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't rob Banks, but I kind of am. We had another bad basketball loss this weekend. We're like, one and five in SC play. I wanted to kick a hole in the wall.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Almost went out and robbed a gas station.

[Amy]

No. I just think. Yeah. Does someone like that go seek help? Like, in a. Are they. You're so addicted. Like, you'll do whatever. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't. This is not homework. But I would encourage you at some point before the Super Bowl. You have two weeks. If you'll watch Chiefsaholic, I think you'll be blown away. It's on Amazon. It's on Amazon Prime. It's two hours long. I know. I said the same thing. And I was gonna watch it in two halves, but I got to the first half and I was itching. I didn't stop. I marathoned it. I'll watch it.

[Amy]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

But he would travel and en route to all these away games to fund his lifestyle. Rob Banks. It's pretty crazy. It's crazy. Eddie's the one that put me on it. I wouldn't watch it forever. I was like, I don't spend two hours watching it. I wish it was four hours long.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's that good. In Chief's Kingdom, they're hardcore. But I would watch these fans that were so hardcore, and then I would feel embarrassed for me that I let it affect me that much when Arkansas wins and loses. So I've been doing a better job in my head. That's good. You don't have a Chiefs Winnebago, though. Like, I know, but these guys are next level. I did get online and look to buy that. There's a little razorback bug, like Volkswagen.

[Amy]

You didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I did. And my wife's like, you can't buy that.

[Amy]

You can't. I second that.

[Bobby Bones]

You need to buy that. That's what I'm saying. It's built like a little hog. I know. I need it. It's like, it's literally a little razor. Do you know how awesome that would be to drive?

[Amy]

No. I feel like that's the gateway into problem. Well, you don't need a rob banks to go to the games, but it'll be a gateway to something.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, murder. No, no, no, no. I want to show you a picture of like, the car because I don't.

[Amy]

Need to see a picture. I'm sure it looks like a little hog.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine me driving to work in a little hog. I don't need to see it either. Dude, you need this thing. Thank you.

[Amy]

You don't need it.

[Bobby Bones]

See, I know where my. You find out who your friends are.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, I'm being a wife to your. A friend to your wife right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay, so that's crazy. Chiefsaholic. Go watch it. The other thing I want to talk about that was crazy was Morgan went downtown this weekend. How often do you go downtown, Morgan? Now generally, are you aging out of it a little bit? Yeah, no, definitely. Maybe once a month maybe. So you go down and tell everybody what you saw. Oh, what did I see? The naked person. Oh, yeah. How does that not on top of mind? What else did you see? So you got a list? Crazy things happen to me all the time. So I'm going into a bar and there's this lady that's standing out yelling, like facing the bar, and she's nude on the bottom half. She had pulled down her pants. She was Winnie the Pooh in it. And she's yelling at the bar and I'm like trying to go in. I'm kind of freaked out and I'm like, I'm not really sure what's happening.

[Amy]

The door is locked.

[Bobby Bones]

And I see a bunch of people in this bar and that like a.

[Amy]

Bartender comes running over, like quickly unlocks it.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, get in, get in. And I come in here. They take the. Oh, to you, not to Winnie the Pooh. Yeah. And. And I like, run in. I'm like, what is going on? They're like, we don't really know. She just kind of came in yelling and then she de. Pantsed herself. And this is where we're at right now. Why do you think she took her pants down? And probably a mental health situation if I had to guess. Yeah, I would guess that too. I wonder what triggered that. That, you know, they kicked her out. But again, I've never been in a state where I'm. I've never been drunk, but any state where I'm just like got take my pants off, like all the way down in public. I mean, I've never been that far, but I feel like I could have at some Point. And she was all the way bottom half naked. Yep.

[Amy]

The whole bottom pants were down.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, but why? What of that was getting a point across.

[Amy]

I'm not exactly sure what her point.

[Bobby Bones]

Was because it was kind of mumbled. She was definitely had alcohol in her, but she was just yelling like profusely. And then shortly, about five minutes later, she pulls her pants up and walks away. So the cops didn't even get her. And if you're a cop and there's someone with their pants down like that, you probably hate that you have to go touch them. Right. You got your gloves on already pulling your gloves on like, don't you? Or do you tase them from afar and then put your gloves on and slowly pull their pants on as they're down? Terrible job.

[Amy]

I mean, y'all are saying that now. I hate to say this though, but it probably depends on what they look like.

[Bobby Bones]

If she's really pretty, you're like, I got this. I got it. Boys get away. I don't think so. I, I, I never seen anybody really pretty doing something like this. It's like nude beaches when they're like, people say, I went to a nude beach and wish I wouldn't have. Yeah. Because it's not like a bunch of in shaped people walking around nude beach.

[Amy]

You probably have to go get a female officer. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

You think it's like tsa. I bet you you don't. I bet you if, if a woman is butt naked from waist down and a cop gets called, you just take him down as soon as possible.

[Amy]

I guess so. Or from far away.

[Bobby Bones]

See how it ended. Well, I was just standing in the bar and I just saw her walk away. She put her pants on. Dude, that's. I think I gotta follow her to see how this thing ended up.

[Amy]

Right. We need to know more.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, it's now time for a scam alert. So we're looking out for you guys, trying to make sure you don't get scammed. Amy, you got a couple. What was the, the toll one you got?

[Amy]

Yeah, I got a text message that I had a toll bill due and it had a link. And, you know, you can drive through tolls and not know, and it scans your license plate and then all of a sudden you. And so I freak out thinking, well, I don't want to have a toll bill because we had a friend once where the toll bill racked up, and I can't remember exactly how this happened to our friend Steve. Thousands of dollars.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he ignored it. That's honest. Yeah. Late fees.

[Amy]

Well, that's the thing. Like, if I just ignore this, thinking it's a scam, then it could pile up, and if I click on it, I could get scammed. So it's just. They're getting sneaky these days.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't really have tolls here, though.

[Amy]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you were to fall for that one.

[Amy]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

So mostly that's if you live in a place where they have tolls. Just understanding the toll and going around.

[Amy]

This particular text, like, I have boiled it down to that. It's a scam. So I'm not clicking on it, but it's just. It's just annoying because, yeah, they're probably sending that out to thousands of pop. And you get two people that click, bam.

[Bobby Bones]

The next one. Scam alert. Now, this is somebody inviting you on a podcast.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Sadie Robinson or Robertson. Robertson.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's Duck Dynasty.

[Amy]

Duck Dynasty, yeah. Rob Burtson. Excuse me. And I was actually really excited it got sent to my podcast email. So I thought, okay, her people are reaching out to my podcast email to have me on as a guest. And I'm reading through it and it seems legit. Legit, legit. And then the last line is, we're willing to compensate you $3,000 for your visit. And instantly, I know this is a scam.

[Bobby Bones]

People do that with me all the time. Really? Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Where they're like, that's exactly what's happening.

[Bobby Bones]

$3,000. And then I get messages from people going, are you trying to pay me to come on your podcast? I'm in. And I'm like, I'm not paying you to come on the podcast. But yes, scam. That's. That one really doesn't affect the listeners.

[Amy]

But it doesn't at all.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm not trying to know that. Yeah, I'm not booking anybody for my podcast either and paying money. Okay. But Scam alert. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. Thank you, Amy, for sharing that. Thanks for being vulnerable and thinking you had to pay tolls when we don't have tolls here.

[Amy]

No, no. I was using it as an example of that. You freak out for a second thinking about it, but I know it was a scam.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, scam. Al.

She said, how much for this Cream of Wheat? Over the weekend, I watched the Tom Green documentary. Are you familiar with Tom Green?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. I would watch him on, what was it?

[Bobby Bones]

Mtv like revolutionized television for people our age because he was wild. Like, it was like drinking milk out of the utter of a cow. He would do bits where he would go and lay down face first and then just see what happened and people would gather around. That's funny. Like, I loved the show so much. And then what I forgot. The documentary is amazing because it talks about. He started first he was in a rap group, like a real one called Organized Rhyme, and they're from Canada. He got nominated for a Juno with his group, which is basically the Canadian Grammy. Got like a record deal. Canadian record deal. Never really worked in America. But like, he was in a rap group with his buddies in high school. And from then he started doing public access television and would do the show. And he did that for like five or six years as he did other things for free. And then a small little channel in Canada picked him up and the documentary goes through, like his life and like all of those. And finally it's. He gets really famous on mtv, like wildly famous. He's one of. If you were to go through our life, like people that exploded and were in that pop culture, most famous person for a while. He's one of them. And my wife didn't know much about him because she missed it. She's almost 12 years younger than I am. So. Morgan, do you know Tom Green? No, I have no idea who he is. Massive for. In college, we would all wait for Tom Green show to come on as a talk show. And he had his buddies and they would just do crazy stuff. It was why Jackass exists. So it was called the Tom Green Show. It was a talk show. And they would sit like this or like any of the talk shows that you see and guests would come on. But then he was always doing just completely absurd stuff. And he would go on the streets and do man on the street stuff. But crazy, was he the first one to do the like, man on the street type stuff? No, that Was like Candid Camera. But David Letterman did it. Jack Benny did it back in the day. So not the first, but definitely kind of brought it back in in, like, the early 2000s. And it was. He was just out of his mind. And he was in his 20s. And so the documentary is, like, all the years he spent doing it for free. He had a bit called Undercutter's Pizza, which I forgot about until I watched the documentary, where he would chase a pizza guy. Like, he'd find one doing pizza deliveries, and he would have a pizza with just the crust and the sauce on it in the box, and he'd follow the pizza guy, and he had a tackle box full of toppings. And he'd get to the house and be like, I'll make your pizza even cheaper than what you did. This. This guy. And he'd try to undercut the pizza guy that was delivering it, and then, like, people would want to, like, beat him up. So I watched it and remembered a lot of stuff. It's very nostalgic for me. But he married Drew Barrymore.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I forgot about that. What I didn't realize from the documentary was his show never got canceled. So one of the crazy things that happened to him was. Well, the bad thing that happened was he got testicular cancer while doing the show. Like, as he was doing the show, he went to the doctor and they diagnosed him with testicular cancer. And instead of being like, I got cancer. I got to step away. He did it all on camera as part of the show. He was like, I got testicular cancer. And so he was, like, in the hospital. They, like, showed it after they had surgery. His nut, that cancer. It was a bit. He kept it a bit, even at the hospital afterward. And so they showed all of that. And I just remember the Tom Green show no longer existing, But I forgot about all the cancer stuff that he went through on camera while also being funny about it so much that it got awkward because there was a scene, like a shoot they were doing where they were going to dinner, and it was him and all his friends at Drew Barrymore. And he's like. To the waitress who was there, he was like, yep, we're having a dinner because I have cancer. She's like, huh? She's like, yeah, we're celebrating. I have surgery tomorrow. I'm getting my testicle cut off. And it's so, like, absurd. But at the same time, it was so public that a lot of people ended up going to get checked for it as well. And it was just. I forgot all about this and how difficult. And he talked about all the pain that he was in afterward. Like, physically is really good. I mean, I. There are certain things that I think I have inadvertently stolen from him. And he says he inadvertently stolen. Has stolen stuff from people throughout history as well. But even, like, the little theme songs that I write for, like, all the podcasts, like, on 25 whistles, it's like, this is a podcast called 25 whistles. Talking football. We all wear a whistle. Yeah, it's stupid, but what did you expect? So it's just. But then to hear his. The song again, which I hadn't heard in forever, he was like, this is the Tom Green Show. It's not the Green Tom Show. This is my favorite show. It's just so absurd and simple. I was like, oh, that's probably where I got whatever sensibility it is, like, musically, so. And then now he has a farm and he sold his house in la, Lives in a house in Canada. And it's just that it's his life now. And it's about hour 45 minutes. I loved it. I'm also. I was a massive Tom Green fan. He did Road Trip. Freddy Got Fingered was a movie. He wrote that. It was so out of control. He did Charlie's Angels. That's where he met Drew Barrymore. But he was just this goofy kid who came to America and did the Tom Green Show. Not only was it massive, but it created because he was a big skateboarder too. And that was kind of the skateboarder culture of skateboard and do crazy stunts. I mean, that's where Jackass came from, was taught. So anyway, this is not Tuesday reviews day, because I have a story I'm gonna tell in the back of it. But I thought it was awesome. And at the end, I almost cried. I didn't feel.

[Amy]

What moved you? Well, I guess you can't say no.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even anything specifically. It was just kind of like him going like, all this happened. This is who I am now. These are my goals. And I was just kind of like, dang, that did Mike. Were you kind of emotional at the end? I think the part I was emotional by. By him, like, feeling for him that he was always ahead of his time. Like, he was doing things way before anybody else was doing it. And if he would have done him, like, 10 years later, he would have been even more famous. Yeah, I mean, he was just taking cameras and recording stuff where people are doing it now on their phones. He was doing Podcast, but from his house. I mean, Joe Rogan credits Tom Green for giving him the idea to do what he does, because he would go to Tom Green's house and shoot this Internet live Internet streaming show that nobody else was doing. But, yeah, it was. It was really good. It was really inspiring. And I just forgot. I loved Tom Green. And if there were like 10 people, it's like, who are the people that you probably emulate, mimic, or just steal from? He's definitely on that list. Well, anyway, we watched that on Friday night. He came to my house on Saturday, and so he just drove up in his van. Like, what kind of van? So he talks about it so I can talk about it. They outfitted a. Like a big. I would say if you're an artist and you have a van, but it's not quite a bus and there's room in it. They outfitted and put solar panels on top of it. And he drives. On his tour, he's touring stand up and selling big rooms. But they stay in hotels. But then they take, like two or three days off and they drive and just like, stay somewhere in the van.

[Amy]

Oh, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And so he was over. And then after that, they brought their dog with them. They have a rescue. And then we just hung out in the yard because I was like, our dogs try to escape so you can let your dog free. We went and hung out in the yard for, like, 15, 20 minutes. Just kind of talked. It was awesome. Oh, he was very nice.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Wasn't, like, loud. Wasn't crazy like you expect him to be. Most people that are that way outwardly just aren't that way whenever it comes to just talking. He kind of was what I expected, which was the exact opposite of what he was on the show. But I could tell, like, why he was famous and, like, why he was good at that. I just felt that energy from him, like, oh, I could see that this guy has something. There's just, like an energy about him when you're around him. Like, oh, he was on tv. They came and we did the podcast and then hung out for a bit. And then he was like, hey, if you want to come to the show. And I. I didn't. You don't do that. But no, I mean, it's nighttime. I was tired. But it was great. We did it on Saturday. We don't. I don't ever do anything on Saturday as far as, like, at the house with interviews, but it was really cool. It'll be up. Not this week, but it'll be up Next week. Yep. Cool. We did a Tom Gain. Yeah, it's super cool.

[Amy]

Yeah. And especially someone that, yeah, you've emulated and to have them at your house like in having that type of one on one conversation.

[Bobby Bones]

The documentary was really good too. And I don't know at the end of it, because that's. My wife said, hey, he's coming over tomorrow. And we had watched something else. I was like, we watched the first half with me because I'm going to watch it to make sure I've seen it when he comes over. And it was so good that she ended up watching the whole thing and at the end she was talking about. She was. I'm really rooting for that guy. And I was like, yes, me too. Yeah, me too. But lovely. Just a lovely guy. So that should be. Not this week, but next. Correct on the. On the Bobby cast. Yeah, there you go. And if he comes to town, go watch a show. He plays music too. He put out a whole country record because they're doing a. Amazon's also doing a four part series on his life now in Canada because he just bought like a house in the woods and then he's doing a comedy special too. So there you go. There's my. There's my day with Tom Green. That's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. The coolest part was out in the yard, just like hanging out. Yeah. Normal life.

[Amy]

Yeah, Being normal.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was like, you've inspired me my whole life. And I'm like, Tom, really? And he's like, no, I never heard of you. Bobby Bones Show Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Canada. A man was walking through a construction zone and he looked into an excavator and he saw the keys in there and he was like, oh, let me see if this thing will start up. And he went ahead and did a million dollars worth of damage, wrecking cars, buildings.

[Amy]

Oh, so it started that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I didn't know if that was a turnover or.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, good point, good point. Now your question. His sound effects.

[Amy]

Well, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I hear you. No, I hear you.

[Amy]

That's all me.

[Bobby Bones]

He could have committed more. I. For someone who's driven an excavator a few times, they're awesome. Which one is that one? What does it look like? The one that has a thing and just does crap. Got a little shovel in the front. Yeah, those are cool. Well, it's got the big. Well, no, kind of. It's got the hook all the way down oh, yeah, like the. Like the claw thing at the bottom. Yeah. I did a whole episode of Breaking Bobby Bones, one of those that you can watch on Amazon. It's my show, Breaking Bobby Bones. It's. It's not. It's like a claw, but it doesn't have, like, a top of the dig. I don't know, dude. I'm not the guy. That was my explanation. Good enough. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking around. And it's got, like, the claw thing, but it doesn't have two prongs. Sure. Like an eating monster. It's like a hand that scoops. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty cool. If I saw one with just keys and no one around, I might consider it. Yeah. And he said it's really the owner's fault because he left the keys in there. Not the owner's fault. And what is any big kid going to do but play demolition derby when they see that? Big kid? How old was he? 30? Not a kid. 39, 16. I'm like, you know what, big kid? Make a better decision next time, okay? I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Bones, if someone called you, Amy, and said you just inherited half a million dollars, congratulations. You would think, what?

[Amy]

Who died?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And they tell you, and you're like, I don't know them. Then you would think, what?

[Amy]

Wow, why'd they leave me this money?

[Bobby Bones]

You would not think, scam. This is why she gets scammed so much.

[Amy]

Not yet.

[Bobby Bones]

The first thing I would think if anybody said that is scam.

[Amy]

I wouldn't think that right away.

[Bobby Bones]

I would. If I don't know who died, I didn't think. Scam. If someone called you and somebody had died and left you half a million dollars, you didn't know them. I was already booking a tee time. Okay, that's a problem.

[Amy]

I mean, obviously, I'm gonna ask more questions, but this is what I'm asking. In order.

[Bobby Bones]

This woman gets a call and goes, hey, you just inherited half a million dollars. She's like, from who? And they tell her. She goes, I don't know him. So scam. She's like, no chance. Turns out it wasn't a scam.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

So this guy was 85 years old. He died. He had no kids. They couldn't find any relatives, so they used, like, a gene tracking company to find his closest cousin in a whole other country. It happened to be her. So they go, you're his heir. He's like, I don't know him. Doesn't matter. Here's half a million dollars. This is left to you.

[Amy]

So you would hang up on a call too soon, and I wouldn't believe out on this $500,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely. Okay, see, because I would think 99% of the time that's a scam.

[Amy]

Obviously.

[Bobby Bones]

The fact that somebody you don't know is related to you and has half a million dollars, they're just looking to leave. How lucky is that? But how is getting money the scam? No, it's someone saying that I have money for you. And you go on, oh, I'll take it. Oh.

[Amy]

And they're like, hey, just send us your banking info. We'll work, wire it to you. And then you do that. And then, bam, you've been scammed.

[Bobby Bones]

Because this one story will make people be scammed. Because I heard on the Buy a Bone show that that's happened.

[Amy]

I know. You just have to be diligent, ask the right questions.

[Bobby Bones]

Just imagine you get a call and it's true. Like, we don't even go scam. But someone leaves you a half a million dollars, and you never even knew them. There's just a half a million dollars right there. That's a wild story. Thank God. And then, okay, taxed. Who cares? Who cares, man? Three money. Hundred thousand dollars you never even knew you were getting. Yeah, that's a crazy story. There was that, and there was the other one about the Pokemon fight lunchbox. You see people fighting over Pokemon. Yeah. I mean, it was at Costco. They. I don't know what these Pokemon cards are, but they were on sale and people were brawling, like, punching each other, headlocks. They had no order or system. I know they're doing it. It was incredible. Was it a new release? Yeah, it was a new shipment of them. So that I can understand people waiting like a new. It doesn't matter if it's Pokemon cards or baseball cards or Black Friday flat screen TVs, right? People are waiting for a deal or something new, but they got out of hand. And it was a brawl. It was like the perfect social media video. Get the blank off me. And they're punching each other. Dudes hitting dudes, women hitting the dudes. And my question is, are our Pokemon cards that valuable? Then why aren't people fighting us for them? Well, this is a new release. Mike, are Pokemon cards any good? Yeah, because they were selling for about 44 bucks. You could turn around and flip it for 150, easy. Not even knowing what's in there. Just the box. Just the box get one. Remember when the drinks that Stanley mugs. Oh yeah. People would get them at Target and then the tumblers. Yeah. Resell them. But is that over now? Kind of coming downhill because what's that new brand that everybody likes?

[Amy]

Walulu Alawa.

[Bobby Bones]

How do we decide what brand we like when it comes to tumblers?

[Amy]

Kids? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what it is.

[Amy]

I think it's what becomes popular and then they ask for and then that's where. Yeah, but I. Yeah, the all wall wall. Yeah. Lunchbox isn't wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

That was definitely falling for some dumb trends in my day. But that one I didn't fall for. That's the one I'm proud of.

[Amy]

The Tumblr.

[Bobby Bones]

Never really chase the Tumblr trend.

[Amy]

Me neither.

[Bobby Bones]
