[Morgan]

The Bobby Bone Show.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's run some voicemails here. Number one, the trivia where they're very bad at it. Can we just make Eddie do math on air just for fun so we can all have a good laugh? Love the show.

[Morgan]

Bye. That's sweet that you're gonna make fun of me. Like, it's. It's really torture when you guys do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you did pretty good, though, considering how bad you act like you are. I thought you did poison pill pretty good.

[Morgan]

No, I'm bad, dude. I'm bad. And like, those questions, my brain hurt for the rest of the day after I.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it didn't. You weren't source. Your brain wasn't sore.

[Morgan]

I didn't want to think about anything after that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. All right, number two, I have a.

[Morgan]

Great idea for a bit for Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he needs to substitute teach.

[Morgan]

I was a teacher, and I'm telling.

[Bobby Bones]

You, it is harder than you think. And if he substitutes, he's just going to be there during the school day.

[Amy]

It doesn't include all the extra prep.

[Bobby Bones]

Work that teachers do.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox is sick, so he doesn't want to say anything.

[Bobby Bones]

He doesn't want to talk.

[Morgan]

Teachers have it easy.

[Bobby Bones]

We all have work after work. Teachers aren't the only people that have work at home. Let's not act like they're the only ones that after hours have to prep for the next day.

[Amy]

Am I.

[Morgan]

Am I crazy, Eddie? I can't take it.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, I'm not.

[Amy]

I'm not even gonna align myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Me either. We're not on the same team. I'm very pro teacher. They have three months off in the summer, a month off in the winter.

[Morgan]

Now that does seem cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Month off in the winter. A whole month.

[Morgan]

They do have, like, a lot of a month.

[Amy]

Where's he getting a month?

[Bobby Bones]

All right, three and a half weeks. Sorry.

[Morgan]

And then they have, like, summer breaks, winter breaks, spring breaks, fall breaks.

[Bobby Bones]

But a lot of the breaks. Aren't they working?

[Morgan]

No, I don't know about.

[Amy]

Those are like teacher or.

Teacher work day.

[Morgan]

Sometimes they have teacher work days, too. And, like, you know, I don't know what they're doing over there.

[Amy]

They're at school doing stuff.

[Morgan]

Are they?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I still am not aligning myself anyway, whatsoever.

[Amy]

Eddie, kind of sounds like you started.

[Morgan]

No, no, I was just trying to, like, think about what he was saying because there are a lot of days. A lot of days, but they still work very hard. And I don't think him being a substitute teacher would really help his stance on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Our substitute teachers were always idiots.

[Morgan]

They didn't do anything.

[Bobby Bones]

It's always dudes who came in that were like, play a movie. Yeah. But they, like, flirt with the girls a little too much. It was always, like, they were always creepy.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa.

[Amy]

I didn't notice that. I don't know. I'm, like, saying that happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a picture of the possum?

Look at this thing. We're talking about this earlier. I'm gonna show you guys a picture of the possum. Can we put the camera on the page? Zoom in on that thing. You're telling me that is not cute. There's nothing about that's cute. You guys both.

[Amy]

Yeah. That is looking a little rough. But if it closed its mouth and had a cute little smile.

[Bobby Bones]

What was crazy was to the dog and the bulldog's bigger than that possum. Like, it was ready to go. I don't know if it was gonna fight or what it was, but it was up. As soon as I walked over, it just fell over to its side and acted dead. It was crazy to see. I kind of laughed, but then I'm trying to pull Stanley back because Stanley's over just, like, hitting it with his palm. Like, his palm paw.

[Morgan]

It is hilarious the way they play dead.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, fell, too. Like, comedically fell hilarious. Like.

But you guys were talking about how cute that is. Nothing about that's cute.

[Amy]

That's pretty cute.

[Morgan]

It looks like a fairy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's satanic. That is Satan. That's a. They would show that at a Zach Brown show.

[Morgan]

You know what's not cute about them, though, is the tail. The tails are not cute.

[Bobby Bones]

The hair is gross.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The face has no hair. And its teeth looks like they're ready to eat you right now.

[Amy]

Yeah. I will say up close, this is not giving the cute vibes that I had from far away, but in general, I think their face kind of cute.

[Bobby Bones]

Just wanted you guys to see that.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

And everybody watching on our YouTube channel.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan, it's also a good thing you have these in your yard, because they eat ticks and they don't. They don't carry rabies or anything. They're really docile. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I can kill it. I'll let it go back to its home. I came back in the morning to make sure because I knew I. To make sure that it didn't die when it saw me for real. So I went back to the place to make sure it wasn't.

[Amy]

Like, it had a heart attack.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, it literally had a stroke. When I walked up on It. Yeah, no, it's all good. There it is. In case you guys are wondering, we do have our screen working. It didn't work for the first hour of the show.

[Morgan]

They say they're rarely found with rabies.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're really. They're really good to have around. They're good marsupials.

[Bobby Bones]

I think so.

[Lunchbox]

They are.

[Bobby Bones]

One of them ran into my house once and brushed me on the leg. And I thought it was my dog. I was in the kitchen, back door open. Other dog, white dog. So I see one of the. It just looks like my dog, and it runs up and slaps me in the leg. And I thought it was my dog. And I looked down. I'm like, oh, my God, that's scary. Actually, I looked in the backyard and I saw my dog through the window. And I was like, then what? Just hit me in the leg. And there's a. And it's in the corner going. So I had to get a broom and, like, brush it out. That thing. It did not play dead. That one was ready to mix it up. It was in my kitchen. All right, next one.

[Lunchbox]

So does Mike D. Still eat whatever he wants?

[Bobby Bones]

I think it was Christmas Day. And question for lunchbox. How did he and his wife meet?

[Amy]

That's it. Have a great day, Mike.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I retired that a couple years ago. You're not doing. Oh, wow. What'd you call it?

[Amy]

It had a name.

[Bobby Bones]

My Purge Day.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I used to need it. I don't really need it anymore. So Mike has lost over £100. He's kept it off for years and years and years. Now he's also a vegan, but not the not wear leather kind. Right. Just. Is there a term for that? Just an eating vegan? No, I think most people who are vegan, it's all encompassing. Right. So if you're like a real vegan, you don't have anything to do with animal, right? Yeah. No leather, no hides. We all love a good hide. Right. Good fur boots. Yeah. And then it's food as well.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But then you're not that. No, because I think I'll have clothes with leather on it. You love a fur.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen you in a mink coat before. But you're not doing the Purge. No. A couple years ago I was like, I don't really feel like I need that day anymore. So I'm like, eh, I don't really want to do it. Do you allow yourself to have stuff, though? More than you would? Yeah. I think I've got to A better place where I can have it throughout the year and not feel like I'm going to go and revert back to my ways of like I'm going to have this all the time now. So I don't really need that one day to get it all out of my system. Morgan, are you a vegan?

[Lunchbox]

Pretty much. I mean, I don't eat dairy anymore with my new diet.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you eat dairy?

[Morgan]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't do dairy and no meat, obviously.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, so I do eggs. So that's not.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

When did you start the dairy? Because you would eat Mac and cheese a lot.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That used to be a lot of my diet with the cleanse I've been doing.

[Morgan]

Oh, so like just a month ago? A couple months ago?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Two months now. It's really inflammatory.

[Morgan]

So what do you eat?

[Lunchbox]

Just, I've found a lot of different recipes. A lot of chickpeas, a lot of legumes, salads. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you wear leather?

[Lunchbox]

No. A lot of my products don't have. They're all like vegan and stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Purposefully.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I try really hard to do it. I mean, I'm not. I won't seek out a fur coat or I won't seek out leather. But I also, like, products are really hard. They sneak a lot of stuff in there. So I've tried to be really more intentional about finding like clean vegan products.

[Bobby Bones]

But you eat eggs? Yeah, little babies.

[Lunchbox]

But I have a weird relationship with eggs. I'll love them for two months and then all of a sudden I'll want to like throw up eating them. It's weird extra thing.

[Morgan]

So if like an animal like say this possum died of natural causes and it left you its nice little fur coat, like, could you wear that? You're not killing it. It died of natural causes. Is that okay?

[Bobby Bones]

Are you asking me or a vegan?

[Morgan]

A vegan. Not you, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Morgan, do you find this possum in the yard? You're a little chilly.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Yeah. You're cold.

[Bobby Bones]

You're a little chilly. You got a pocket knife?

[Amy]

No, I'm not. I'm not touching that. I have.

[Lunchbox]

I couldn't. Even when I used to go fishing with my dad, he would have to put the worm on the thing and take the fish off of it. I couldn't even touch it. I just. Anything associated with any version of that grosses me out. I don't know that there's anything wrong with it, Eddie. I just personally couldn't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think I could ever actually skin an animal.

[Morgan]

I was telling Morgan that during Thanksgiving, my son saw me, like, take the organs out of the turkey, like, the heart and the liver and all that stuff. And he was like, what is that? And I was like, this is a heart. It's like the insides of the turkey. He's like, I'm not eating that. So I think I may have ruined, like, turkey for the rest of his life because he saw that I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Know there were organs in a turkey. Bite to grocery store.

[Morgan]

Yeah. They come in a little bag that's like, what you make the gravy out of. You make the gravy out of the neck.

[Bobby Bones]

And so if you buy a frozen turkey, the organs are in there.

[Morgan]

They put in a bag for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's not in the turkey.

[Morgan]

They put the bag in the turkey. It's just. They really. Yeah, they bag it up, and it's in the inside of the turkey.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know that?

[Amy]

The gizzards.

[Morgan]

Gizzards, yeah. So they call it.

[Bobby Bones]

They put in a bag into the turkey.

[Amy]

I know that some. I don't know that every turkey did it, but. Yeah, because that's how you make the.

[Morgan]

Make the gravy.

[Amy]

You put the gizzards in.

[Bobby Bones]

I never made gravy.

[Morgan]

Well, that's the thing. You eat gravy. You like gravy. And that's my son's like, I'm not eating that gravy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's now vegan.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Want to answer the question? Oh. What was. Oh, we met through a mutual friend at a party.

[Morgan]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

The most vague answer you can give. I mean, that was it.

[Morgan]

I mean, drinking at a party, and.

[Bobby Bones]

She was all over me.

[Morgan]

What can I say?

[Bobby Bones]

All right, fair enough. All right, Ray, next one. One of my favorite bits that you all always do is the 12 days of Bobby Bones show Christmas. Are y' all gonna do that again this year?

[Morgan]

The worse it is and the more.

[Bobby Bones]

Outtakes there are, the better. Thanks. Love listening. We haven't done that in a while. We. We can. Somebody just has to write it. You guys remember that song?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Where each of us has our thing, and then we try to get all the way through it.

[Amy]

I think we did it last Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we did. We just need to update it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like new things. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause I hope it's a little bit more.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, to your point, it has been a while, but it's been a year, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure? We did it last year. 2024.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I remember messing up, like, five times.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I remember that. It didn't feel like last year. It feels like. I don't know, at least 2023.

[Amy]

Mm. No, we didn't, because I think we. We did it. It was our first Christmas in this new studio, and I remember we did.

[Bobby Bones]

It in this room. We did right here. Are you just trying to talk? Yep. Trying to show you my voice in bed. You're good. You're good. Dude. What? Mike, did you see the lyrics right there?

And we did that here. Dang, dude. I don't know. My memory's garbage. I don't know anything.

[Amy]

But you do know a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

I know a lot, but I don't retain anything anymore. On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a razorback jersey to wear. And then Amy did therapist. And then Eddie did Smoking Chickens. And then Mike did Movie stubs. And Lunchbox did broken down Altimas.

[Morgan]

Oh, he would do the broken down Ultima.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan did Ducked Jeeps. But she doesn't have a Jeep anymore.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, she's Bronco.

[Lunchbox]

Gonna have to change that broken pumpkin.

[Bobby Bones]

Six Doug Jeeps. That how he goes. Six dog Jeeps.

[Morgan]

Six dog Jeeps.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm doing her new version.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Bunkin Broncos.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, buckin. But that'd be a horse.

[Morgan]

Well, how about like a Broncos?

[Amy]

A horse Broncos.

[Morgan]

Another boyfriend? Wait, no one.

[Lunchbox]

Don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't do that. New boyfriend.

[Morgan]

But that's like. It's updated.

[Lunchbox]

No, don't do that.

[Morgan]

Okay, that's good. And it kind of, like, works in there. A new boyfriend.

[Bobby Bones]

Not gonna make her do that one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but then you're gonna have to change it next year then.

[Bobby Bones]

To another new boyfriend.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, you just never know. I just saying you never know when.

[Amy]

It has to change again.

[Morgan]

At some point, another new boyfriend.

[Amy]

Are still the same boyfriend.

[Morgan]

That works too.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe I'm a fiance next year.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, boy.

[Morgan]

Oh, what's Abby's.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on, hold on. Let me do diamond ring instead of duck jeeps. You could just do six Broncos. It's doing syllables. You don't need a bucking bronco. That sounds like a horse.

[Amy]

Like a real horse, but on the Bronco. It's kind of like it's a bucking.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but she had a Jeep and the ducks were in the Jeep. You wouldn't say six jeep and jeeps.

[Amy]

Gotcha. Yeah, well, also, people's numbers can move around as we need to see fit.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby has seven angry Callers.

Yeah, we can change. You can do. I mean, you could do seven, but it's seven, though. Does that matter? That the number. Because it's supposed to. Because she doesn't have seven diamond rings.

[Morgan]

She does.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Can we move the.

[Morgan]

We can change people's numbers. She's gonna be one. I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

We're just gonna leave it as it is and find seven. She had angry callers.

[Morgan]

I mean, that's. That was funny.

[Bobby Bones]

And she would always be like, seven angry callers.

[Amy]

Oh, did I. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yikes. Scuba did. Eight bald heads glistening. Nine protein smoothies. Is Ray 10 freezing studios with the girls?

Yeah, we could. We could probably hit this again.

[Amy]

Still freezing.

[Morgan]

Still. Nothing's changed in a year.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, we will attempt to do that.

[Morgan]

That's fun.

[Amy]

And I've also done way less therapy this year. I think so. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

What was yours? Therapists. Two therapists. Two. Okay. What do you want to do?

[Amy]

I don't know. Still works.

[Morgan]

I haven't smoked a turkey in a while either.

[Bobby Bones]

You did. Smoking chickens.

[Morgan]

Yeah, chickens.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Maybe yours is like homemade salsa.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Three homemade salsas.

[Morgan]

I like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what do you want for yours, then?

[Amy]

Oh, I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. I just was thinking about how this year has been way less therapy.

[Morgan]

Could you be a new boyfriend?

[Bobby Bones]

Good.

[Morgan]

Two new boyfriend. Oh, yeah. It's not two. Yeah, two new boyfriends.

[Lunchbox]

Cardinals or. Or birds.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But then you have to explain it for people that don't. You really don't want to give a backstory to people that are new. Yeah, we'll think about it. We'll try to nail it down before we do it. We'll try to sing it again before.

[Morgan]

We'Re out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me one more. I keep hearing this thing about the dance party. Lady just called in about the Christmas dance party. Where does this dance party happen? Is this something that happens live on the radio? If you can just let us know who are just podcast listeners. Be thankful. Have a good day. Bye. You want to explain to me?

[Amy]

Yeah. So music is not allowed on podcasts. So, yes, it is something that is on the live part of the radio show. And it is so fun. It's like Bobby puts together, like, all these fun songs and mixes them up, and you get like, what is it, 20 minutes of just jams.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Or something like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Something like that. Yeah. We do it on Fridays, so it's on the actual radio. Like Amy said, we can't play music, but that's what it Is. And that's why people were calling, asking for a Christmas one. We used to be able to put it on the podcast, which is crazy to think about way back in the day, before there are rules.

[Morgan]

The Wild West.

[Amy]

Yeah, that would be fun to listen.

[Bobby Bones]

Put the whole podcast up there, whole day.

[Lunchbox]

We do do the Friday morning dance party playlist. It's not the same because you're not in it, but if you want.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's whole songs too.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So that's what's different about it. But we do have that.

[Morgan]

Where is that on iheartradio. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's go around the room, Amy.

[Amy]

So Britney Spears turned 44 last week and now we know what she did to celebrate. Cuz yesterday she posted pictures of her, like on a yacht. And she captioned it did a flip off the boat, but I hurt myself. And then there was like zero footage of the flip or the injury. Like the comment had nothing to do with the pictures. And the pictures and the videos would be just what you would expect. And there was almost like some nudity. And I don't know, it's just. Well, first of all, crazy. She turned 44 because that's our. It's like, oh, wow, she's our age. Like, this is. I had to unfollow her from Instagram. So it was something I saw an article that she posted because it would just break my heart anytime I would see her post.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the Free Britney movement. Movement. Not the best movement.

[Amy]

Yeah. So then when I read about it, I was like, oh my gosh, she's 44. So like, yay, she's made it to 44. And I just feel for her because she's not clearly actually really 44. Or like mentally some things, you know, it's just. I don't know, it just makes me sad. But happy birthday to Brittany. And she did get to celebrate on a yacht.

[Bobby Bones]

You really pumped her up there.

[Morgan]

Did the movement kind of start all this?

[Bobby Bones]

No, the movement allowed her to do it freely.

[Morgan]

Okay. Because they're protecting her.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Morgan]

That's what.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the movement. She was already. Probably not. Well, that's why she was under a conservatorship. So the movement didn't start this, but the movement freed her from the conservatorship, which was what was probably protecting her from being out and freely doing these things.

[Amy]

And I must say, when the Free Britney people, like, I. They won me over to where I thought, oh, wow. Yeah, she.

I wasn't obviously out there with signs or anything. It didn't impact impact me day to day, but I was leaning more towards them versus anybody else that was sort of holding her down or holding her back. Like, that's where I was leaning, to be honest.

[Bobby Bones]

It was easy to lean that way because you weren't seeing any of the scary footage because it wasn't allowed out by her conservatorship. And they were protecting her from doing stuff.

[Amy]

Right.

[Morgan]

I don't remember. But who, like, how did. How did everybody know that she had a conservatorship? Like, how did we know that? Did she say that?

[Bobby Bones]

Did she say, like, I think it's public.

[Amy]

Yeah, I believe you're right. I think it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You can find like the court documents, because to be in a conservatorship, you have to go to court. It has to be a judge. Like, the judge has to approve it, allow it. So. Yes.

[Morgan]

Happy birthday, Brittany.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Happy 44 again. Go Brittany.

[Morgan]

Brittany.

[Bobby Bones]

Good story, Eddie.

[Morgan]

This should settle the debate. The Nashville Symphony had a concert last night and it was.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not Home Alone. Don't do the Home Alone crap.

[Morgan]

Home Alone in concert. And they say that it works at Christmas too. It's. Can I finish?

[Bobby Bones]

But no, you started with let's settle a debate. I know what the debate is you're talking about.

[Morgan]

There's the description of the concert. It says you can watch the movie while listening to its soundtrack live with an orchestra. And this is everyone's favorite Christmas movie.

[Bobby Bones]

That's great.

[Amy]

So it'll be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it for everybody. Hope everybody had a great time. They also show the movie in March and in July. They don't show other Christmas movies in March and July.

[Amy]

Where. Where is it that they're doing this on random television?

[Bobby Bones]

Because I get tagged in it all the time when it shows up.

[Morgan]

Oh, people tag you?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. They're like, look, you're right. I got like two people that agree with me. The rest of the world doesn't.

[Morgan]

Man. There's a lot of cool stuff in town. Like I saw they were doing It's a Wonderful Life. Like a play that's kind of fun.

Like a lot of Christmas stuff. A lot of the Christian singers, they're doing their stuff too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, right. Right up their wheelhouse.

[Morgan]

Definitely.

[Amy]

Their time, like their holiday. Yeah.

[Morgan]

So. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, what do you have?

[Lunchbox]

I have an update on my story about Ed, the 88 year old army veteran. So remind you guys and Amy, you weren't here. I'll tell you. So an influencer found him in a grocery store. He had retired from General Motors in 1999. In 2012, they shut down. He lost his pension. His wife got sick. She ended up passing away. And with all of her medical bills, he has over $230,000 in debt. And so he started working again because he didn't want to leave that debt to his family. And he hasn't even been able to afford funds to go see his sick brother and sick. His brother's sick wife. So the update after the influencer found him, he was presented with a check from the money raised. A hundred. No, 1.77 million. It was one of the biggest individual fundraisers in gofundme.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

So what I was concerned about was the Internet doing what the Internet does and then starting to dig up dirt on them.

Because anybody that gets famous or gets a gofundme, they start to dig up dirt. They just are, like, going to find things to, like, tear people down. I didn't see anything on this guy.

[Lunchbox]

I haven't either, and I hope not. He seems like just. And they were really kind, too. They set him up with a financial group for no fees so they can help him get all of his stuff sorted out.

[Bobby Bones]

$1.7 million sorted out.

[Morgan]

He's 88.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, let him rip. Let it rip. What do you mean, sort it out? Go hard, Ira.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Go Britney.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, put him in a conservatorship. You don't agree with that?

[Morgan]

Sort the money out. Get out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's about to die. Ryan Bartlett, three days ago gave $10,000 and William Ackman, which I think we talked about six days ago, gave 10,000 people just gave this guy tons of money. Is Ryan bartlett the dude from the cubs Ryan bartlett? No, you're thinking of bartman. Steve bartman. Steve bartman. Yeah, different dude. Got it. Cheetos. Flamin hot dill pickle puffs are going to stores.

[Morgan]

I've tried the. Not the puffs, but the dill flamin hots. They're okay.

[Bobby Bones]

The pickle fries at sonic a plus.

[Amy]

Is it just pickled flavoring?

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Oh, sorry. It's a pickle.

[Morgan]

No, his is. Yeah, yours are fried.

[Amy]

So it looks like french fries, but they're pickle slices.

[Morgan]

Correct.

[Amy]

Okay, got it.

[Morgan]

Those are really good.

[Bobby Bones]

But they also put into my waters. I'll do the pickle balls.

[Morgan]

The boba boba balls.

[Bobby Bones]

And I like pickles.

[Morgan]

No, they're good. Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

I like pickles, but I don't love, love pickles. It's not like, I'm Mr. Pickle.

But it's awesome. Like, the flavor of a pickle next to certain things is really good. You don't.

[Morgan]

You wouldn't think that it works, but it works.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So Cheetos is putting out the flamin hot dill pickle puffs, and I bet you it sounds fine, but I bet you they're really good.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, they sound good. I don't like pickles, but I like pickle flavored chips and stuff.

[Morgan]

Have you had the sunflower seeds? Pickle flavored.

[Bobby Bones]

From you. When we would go out and play golf.

[Morgan]

That's the best.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was the best. Did Taylor Swift buy her wedding date from another bride? Taylor Swift reportedly wanted to book a venue in Rhode island for June 13, but another couple already had it, so apparently she paid them to change the date.

[Amy]

Oh, heck, yeah. I'd take our money. I would change my date if she's gonna pay me.

[Bobby Bones]

So I've seen a couple versions of this. There's this story, and then I'll give you another version that I heard. The New York Post says that Taylor is dead set on marrying Travis Kelce. But, boy, he sucked last night, didn't he?

[Morgan]

Yeah, he did. Dropping everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Golly. Yeah. You need to go be with her, dude. Just go get married. Call it a day.

And while initial reports claimed they were going to get hitched at a Rhode island estate, plans changed. Instead, she decided on a nearby venue called Ocean House. Unfortunately, another couple had already had booked it, so Taylor made him an offer they couldn't refuse. In other words, she flooded him with cash. 13 is Taylor's favorite number, obviously. So I saw this. Then I saw a story from people going, that's not true, and maybe even from the bride. So I really don't know if it's true or not. However, if she did, that bride would never be able to say it was true.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, like sign an NDA, Would get asked about this. Just deny it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's an NDA for sure.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I would totally do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I would take the money. Yeah, it's not gonna be $10,000. It's gonna be half a million or more.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Really, Morgan, what were you gonna say?

[Lunchbox]

If she does have to sign an NDA, would she just have to sign it until the weddings happen and then she could talk about it or it's just indefinite?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, NDAs are different, but I'm assuming it would be an NDA, as in forever in perpetuity.

[Morgan]

That's a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you can't talk about it because it never happened.

[Amy]

Can you tell? Like, at least I'd be like. I'd write in there. I won't publicly say it. But what about, like, my.

[Morgan]

You can tell your friends.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, your spouse obviously knows because they had to sign it too.

[Morgan]

Exactly. Oh, they had to sign it too.

[Amy]

And then, like, your parents. No cousins or anything.

Your maid of honor.

[Bobby Bones]

They'll sue you if it gets out. They sue you if it gets out. Yeah, but that's what you don't tell your cousins and talk about everything.

[Morgan]

Could you negotiate other things too? Like, all right, we'll take the money, but can I go to the wedding too?

[Bobby Bones]

You can negotiate whatever you want at any point.

[Morgan]

I would throw some stuff in there.

[Amy]

But, I mean, people would know. Like, if you had that wedding date and then you didn't and then Taylor ended up getting married, then you'd just be like, wink, wink.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but you didn't tell them though, so you're good.

[Amy]

I know. You don't have to say anything.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have to say anything. You just. Yeah, just show them the cash.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's cool too. Taylor's money. That's cool, man.

[Amy]

That would be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I would imagine, again, it's at least half a million dollars.

[Amy]

It's like, you're lucky, dude.

[Morgan]

I would take one of those dollar bills. I gotta get $1bill out of there and frame it. Taylor, she's not giving you a bucket of cash.

[Bobby Bones]

It's probably getting wired to your check in.

[Morgan]

Doesn't matter though. Shit's. That was her money and now it's my money.

[Amy]

No, but you make that part of the deal. I need a briefcase.

[Morgan]

You delivered by you.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're gonna have that, then you have her sign the dollar bill. But then you can't show it because you signed it in the aid and never actually talk about.

[Amy]

We'll be like, oh, I ran into Taylor at a bar and she signed this.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, and so you have it framed with a wedding.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, Amy, you need the real story.

[Amy]

Well, whatever. That's cool.

[Amy]

Today, it's like there will be signs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's one of those. Like I wouldn't say if I won the lottery, but there would be signs. A man was stabbed in the neck by a 44 year old woman during a road rage incident in Seattle. Seattle police are investigating a road rage incident that ended up in a stabbing. After the crash, the two drivers got out and began arguing. One of the drivers, a 44 year old woman, went back to her car as the male driver approached her and continued arguing. SPD said the man reached the driver's side of the door and the woman reached and grabs him, grabs a knife, stabs him in the neck. I feel like she's being threatened here. If you're walking back to your car and some dude's following you back.

Because that's what feels like is happening here. SPD said. As the man reached the driver's side, the woman stabbed him in the neck. If we're fighting and I'm like I'm gonna retreat and go back to my car and you follow me to my car.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm scared.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not protecting yourself, I think so. The man stumbled around the street before being able to flag down an ambulance. The 44 year old woman stayed at the scene and was arrested without incident. Also, if you're staying at the scene, you probably know you didn't really do anything that wrong. Like your stabbing is not going to end up being whatever the charge is, now, you did get out of your car and fight because of road rage. And there's going to be. You're going to get arrested and something's going to happen to you. But I feel like if somebody follow me back to my car after a fight, I'm probably protecting myself. That's from Cairo. Seven thoughts.

[Amy]

Yeah. This is why you don't get involved in anything.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why you don't get to that point anyway. Yeah, I agree with that.

[Morgan]

Like, don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you chime in with that?

[Morgan]

No, I'm just saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're Mr. Road Rage.

[Morgan]

Dude, I saw a TikTok video. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

It made me Mr. Christmas. I'm Mr. Pickle. You're Mr. Road Rage.

[Morgan]

I'm not. I'm not. Dude, I really don't try to road rage. I just try to help.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody goes out. You know what? Today I'm trying to road rage. Like, nobody leaves their house with the idea, honey, I'm bored.

[Morgan]

This is no respect. Like, you got to respect your other drivers like everyone else on the road. And when someone's not respecting everyone else, I feel like I need to kind of represent.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's not your job.

[Morgan]

I know that.

[Amy]

Like, it's not worth it.

[Morgan]

But I did see a tick tock video. It's so sad, where this guy, they were road raging and this guy was taking his kid to school, and the guy shot at him and he hit the kid and killed the kid.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

It was the worst video I've ever seen in my life.

[Amy]

That was on TikTok.

[Morgan]

The cop gets there and the guy's just like, you shot my son. Like, I don't know. The guy's like, I did. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We were.

[Bobby Bones]

That was on TikTok.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was body cam, dude, I am stuck on body cam footage. Oh, no.

[Amy]

And he was just like, I did it.

[Bobby Bones]

I did it.

[Morgan]

I'm telling you right now, I did it. I didn't know the kid was back there, and I purposely shot behind him because I didn't think I was gonna hit him. Didn't know the kid was back there.

[Amy]

Oh, he's just trying to scare him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, dude, it was like, if you're so sad, okay, I don't. I hate what I'm about to say because I don't believe it. But if you want to scare him, just wave the gun.

[Morgan]

There's no need to shoot it. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

First of all, don't even have it.

[Amy]

Don't shoot at the tire.

[Bobby Bones]

No, don't shoot. No, I've thought about that. Shoot at the tires would be cool. You guys are stupid. Don't shoot at anything. Don't even pull the gun out. But I'm saying.

[Amy]

Yeah, don't even get annoyed. Like, I'm just.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, I get annoy.

[Morgan]

Amy. You don't get annoyed.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

What about the guy, the motorcycle guy that hit your window, like, your mirror?

[Amy]

I was scared. I was like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe you just reacted that way. Get control of yourself. Like, that's what I. That's what I think. Like, I'm like, what is wrong with y'? All losing your minds over. And by the way, in that case, I had done nothing wrong. They were the dangerous, reckless ones.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys feel like every motorcycle that drives up on you from behind when they're wearing a full helmet is gonna pull a gun on you?

[Morgan]

No.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, me either.

[Amy]

You must.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Why? Dude, why do movies, man? If they drive up and they're, like, dressed all in a certain color and they have, like, a. A matching helmet, I feel like they're an assassin. And I'm always thinking about one because they. They can pull guns pretty easily because their bodies. They don't have, like, a car.

[Morgan]

Well, you've had guns pulled on you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but never driving.

[Morgan]

Okay, so they weren't on motorcycles or anything.

[Bobby Bones]

No, none of the. None of the ones have been pulled on me. It's always in real life.

[Morgan]

No, no, I'm saying the ATM one, that one. They weren't on motorcycle. I don't know why.

[Bobby Bones]

All on foot. All on foot. But there's a lot of movies where people pull up a. Motorcycles, boom, boom, boom, and get out of there.

[Morgan]

If, like, you know in the movies, you know when like, Bourne. Jason Bourne or whatever goes up to a car and like, I need your car. And the driver's like, okay, take it. Would you if someone, like, came up to you and said, like, I need your car. I'm following them.

[Bobby Bones]

They have a gun.

[Morgan]

I'm a police officer. Whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Would you give your car.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I wouldn't give them my car.

[Morgan]

What if they showed you a badge? I need your car, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

If they show me a badge, you have to make a decision quick.

[Morgan]

You're not gonna inspect the badge at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you get in trouble for not giving a cop your car?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I don't think a cop can just go to a random car and be like, I need your car.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not like Eminent domain for land. They can't do that with cars.

[Morgan]

There's no way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Police can legally take your car in extreme rare emergencies.

[Morgan]

All right, I guess there's a way.

[Bobby Bones]

Often under old posse comitatus laws.

[Morgan]

What's that from the western days.

[Bobby Bones]

Requiring citizen assistance, but it's highly uncommon.

[Amy]

Give me your horse.

[Bobby Bones]

Usually involves.

Immediate danger.

[Morgan]

Sounds like.

[Bobby Bones]

And leaves the police liable for damage, which is why they typically avoid it. So that is a thing. That's a great question. Because I don't know that I would. I think I would just try to get in shot and lock and drive off.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If they had a gun, I'd give them the car. That's called a carjacking.

[Morgan]

Correct. It's different.

[Bobby Bones]

The posse. How would you say that word, Mike? Comitis.

[Morgan]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Comatitis? Yeah. No, that's the act. You know what eminent domain is? They can take any land.

[Morgan]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

73 year old man in Mississippi tried to buy a 10 month old girl during an auction in Louisiana.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

He was arrested Nov. 29 after authorities say attempted to buy a 10 month old.

At the Angie auction house. Investigators allege he approached a woman on November 26 and offered to purchase her infant daughter. Oh, it wasn't. Well, it was weird that it's at an auction house and he's trying to buy. Because it makes you think they're auctioning off a baby there.

[Amy]

Yeah. I was like, should we also start with the people that.

[Bobby Bones]

Should we break into the auction house and shut that down?

[Morgan]

So what do you mean? Like the lady was selling her baby?

[Bobby Bones]

No, he just is an old weird dude.

And was like, how much of a little girl?

[Morgan]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

But in real life, an undercover operation led to a warrant. He is charged with selling minor children. Officials have not released the details of the interaction with the mother and the investigation remains ongoing with full cooperation from the auction house. It's weird. It's an auction house.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Investigators allege he approached a woman Nov. 26 and offered to purchase her infant daughter, prompting a joint investigation. That's gotta never work, right? Randomly going up, somebody with a kid offering to buy the kid.

[Morgan]

I wouldn't think that would work.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think that the, the success rate is so low and that you're probably gonna get the cops called on you. Almost every time.

[Morgan]

Depending on the day though, somebody came to me, bad day with the kids.

[Bobby Bones]

I take that one. I don't think so.

[Morgan]

Just joking.

[Amy]

Did he get bad intel like, hey, possibly.

[Morgan]

So it has nothing to do with the auction house. They just happen to Be there.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the weird thing. To me, it makes it feel like it was a kid auction.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like you see in Taken.

[Amy]

Mm.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Cause she's.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're being trafficked.

[Amy]

That's rude. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they're being trafficked.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but that's. Say no more.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't need to.

[Morgan]

That was it. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, what do you think? What do you know about Faberge? This is a conversation we had when you weren't here.

[Amy]

I don't know anything about this word. Try Faberge.

[Morgan]

You never heard of that word?

[Bobby Bones]

Like a Faberge egg?

[Amy]

Faberge.

Sounds like lingerie.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting.

[Morgan]

This makes me feel better because I thought, man, if Amy was here, she'd know exactly what this was.

[Amy]

No, I don't know what a egg is. Like, what kind of egg? Like an egg in a woman's body or an egg you eat, or a chocolate egg.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a luxury brand, and they make these very expensive eggs, and they had one that was like, millions of dollars. But then we went to the website, and they also have, like $60,000 ones. It's a Russian luxury brand. I was getting it confused with Febreze.

[Amy]

But it's like a gold egg.

[Bobby Bones]

It's made of all kinds of jewelry.

[Amy]

Oh, I think I've seen those. They're like. Yeah, they're eggs. And they're really beautiful and ornate.

[Bobby Bones]

We talked about how somebody had swallowed a Faberge egg locket and they tried to get away with it by swallowing it, and I pooped it out.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

They recovered the egg locket six days after the thief swallowed it. Six days.

[Morgan]

How big was the locket?

That's gotta be a small one.

[Bobby Bones]

He ingested the locket with 60 diamonds, 15 blue sapphires containing an 18 karat gold octopus. The locket, valued at more than $19,000, was recovered naturally. The locket was being tracked by medical professionals. The Seattle Times of the story.

[Amy]

So he's trying to swallow it to steal it.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like it's like this big, bro. I don't know how you swallow that.

[Morgan]

That big?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like if you made your fist, it's kind of that big. Oh, here we go. You want to see a picture of it?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know how you swallow this thing.

Yeah, I didn't know what a Faberge egg was. So that's what's up. Oh, look at this one.

Can you show the screen, Eddie?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Did he swallow it or without the chain?

[Morgan]

That's huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dude, with the chain, like, that would just. It's still like Hanging out of your mouth.

[Morgan]

You could pull it back out.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess I didn't need it.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Morgan]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Right? Like, that's.

[Amy]

Ouch.

[Bobby Bones]

That's almost.

[Morgan]

I can't tell.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. Look at the tag. The tag's like this big.

So it's like.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's big.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's like, maybe not as thick as a fist, but it's probably, like, this size.

[Amy]

Yeah, that looks like the size of an egg.

[Morgan]

We can't really tell. There's no reference. Like, it could be tiny.

[Amy]

No, the reference is not tiny.

[Bobby Bones]

Sticker down there at the bottom.

[Morgan]

You've never seen a small little sticker tag?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Stickers are small.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's like that big. A sticker's like that big.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So that probably could be like a ping pong. Ping pong ball, guys.

[Amy]

Like the size of an egg. I think it's the size of an egg.

[Morgan]

Okay. If it's actually.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think it's the size.

[Morgan]

What is that next to it? Mike? Like, they put something there. So we reference it, but I don't know what that is.

[Amy]

I don't want to know. Are those paper towels?

[Bobby Bones]

Is that Amazon? Why are you so dirty?

[Amy]

Is that the actual egg that he swallowed? Look at the paper towels.

[Announcer]

Look.

[Bobby Bones]

Dirty on old paper. That's poop. I think it's a sheet.

[Morgan]

That's. After it just came out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. No, it's not.

[Morgan]

Okay. Oh, look, it's a thumb. That's a thumb. Look how small that is.

[Amy]

I told you guys, it is what came out. And look.

[Morgan]

And that's their thumb.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not what came out because it's not gross or dirty.

[Amy]

They.

[Bobby Bones]

But they had to clean it first, is my point.

[Lunchbox]

Those are paper towels, and that's a rubber glove.

[Morgan]

We don't know if that's when it came out.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a thumb?

[Morgan]

That's a thumb. So it's the size of a thumbnail.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's bigger than a thumbnail.

[Morgan]

No, that's the nail of the thumbnail.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like it goes all the way down to the hinge at least. And it's. And it's up here.

[Amy]

That's dirty paper. The thumb is wet, but also the chain is on it. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he swallowed the chain. Had to swallow the chain. Are you sure that's a thumb?

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's a thumb. Because when he zoomed out, you can see the hand.

That's a tiny little leg, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

It's longer than. It's like. It's like this big. Don't you think? Yeah, like this big here?

[Morgan]

About that size? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think he also swallowed the chain?

[Amy]

He had to, so maybe it's the size of a little.

What are those eggs they sell at the grocery store that are the little chocolate eggs? Quail eggs. Yeah, quail. Quail.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that still hurts. It does hurt regardless. Yeah, it still hurts. All right, let's see what else we got here.

[Amy]

Can we have a time limit on how long we keep gross things on the screen? Because the dead.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not gross. It's not gross.

[Morgan]

It's cleaned.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cleaned up.

[Amy]

But look at the paper towel.

[Bobby Bones]

It is weird, though. They put it on a paper towel, dude.

[Morgan]

And if you really look at the paper towel, there's stuff on the paper.

[Bobby Bones]

Towel.

Like, it's closest to me.

[Amy]

There's like brown spots.

[Morgan]

I didn't notice that first.

[Bobby Bones]

Researchers are warning of cognitive risks associated with short form videos. Researchers are studying whether heavy use of short form videos like TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube shorts can harm the brain. A September review of 71 studies with 10. Excuse me, 100,000 people found that heavy consumption was linked to worse attention spans. Okay. Impulse control, and increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. One expert compared it to past concerns about video games, but said that the worries are justified.

But video games don't make you kill people. But if you're already in a bad place and there's a lot of killing, it could probably, like, gently continue you on the way you're already going.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think video games themself, or music for that matter, actually change people's opinions and makes them kill. I think if you're in a dark place, though, it can not slow you down. What do you think about that?

[Amy]

Yeah, no, I mean, I think there's some truth to that for sure. I think a lot of things harm. Like, for me, alcohol doesn't impact me in a way that someone else might. Or Bobbi, you're like you with dairy. As simple as that. It doesn't have to be anything scary or illegal. I can eat ice cream, no problem. You cannot. Everybody's, what the heck?

[Bobby Bones]

Rude.

[Amy]

That's not rude.

[Morgan]

I can eat a cheeseburger. You can't.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, anything I can do, anything you can do, I can do better.

[Amy]

Well, it just takes the mental part out of it or it being anything harmful or bad. It's like dairy is an innocent thing and your body chemically reacts to it so differently than mine. And that's the same thing with a Video game. It was just like so many of the examples sometimes are. Fear based on ice cream is just innocent. And look how you respond. Totally different to it.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw a story that 70% of people in America have ice cream in their freezer all the time. I thought that was interesting. Who has ice cream in their freezer right now?

[Amy]

I do.

[Morgan]

Us. Lots of ice cream?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Dairy free. I ordered three dairy free chocolate chip cookies from this place, and they sent me three tubs of chocolate chip cookie ice cream.

[Amy]

Oh, is it dairy free?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, But I ordered cookies I didn't want.

[Amy]

Did you recheck your order?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you click on the positive order? Because I went and looked and Caitlin was like, you're a lot of ice cream. Because like, three huge tubs in the freezer. And I'm like, order three cookies, not three tubs.

[Amy]

You should get your money back from DoorDash. Or if you use DoorDash, did you.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Used UberEats. Same thing.

[Amy]

But because I don't think that impacts the restaurant, because I don't ever want to impact the store. But, like, I always. They're quick to give you the money back, and they'll give it to you in doordash money too. They'll be like, do you just want to refund your account? I did it last night, got 15 bucks back.

[Bobby Bones]

What scam did you pull?

[Amy]

It's not a scam. The order was wrong. Steven's in one of this particular bowl, so I got it, and when he opened it up, he was like. And I even did the pickup. But I mean, I didn't look at it before I left the restaurant. And when we got home, he opened it up and he was like, oh, mom, this is not my typical order. So I just take. Took a picture of it quick. Two seconds later, DoorDash is like, here's your money back. I was like, thank you.

[Morgan]

So how does this work? Like, who orders the food? Do you order through uber eats or DoorDash and then it goes through them? Or do you order from the restaurant and then the driver just picks it up? I don't know how it works.

[Amy]

If you order from DoorDash, they have a relationship with the restaurant. The restaurant has a door dash system where they receive orders.

[Morgan]

Okay, so you order through the app.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

So that's why they refund your money.

[Amy]

They refund me the money. Not. But it happens so fast. I'm like, did y'. All. I mean, I uploaded a picture for people.

[Bobby Bones]

You probably don't even check. It's just like, somebody's requesting give it to them. And if you do it like three or four times, they probably, like, flag your account.

[Amy]

I've done it three or four times. But mine's always. I say, dad paid off, but mine's always legit. I always send photo proof because I'm like, believe me, I'm not making this up.

[Bobby Bones]

Where I get irritated at those companies because I use. Because sometimes they'll go. Couriers are all busy, so you have to use a different one. So I use like three different companies to bring food.

If I write, don't ring the doorbell. And they ring the doorbell, I want to tip them less. I don't.

[Morgan]

You should. Okay. You should.

[Bobby Bones]

But I want to tip them less.

[Amy]

Well did.

[Bobby Bones]

Because sometimes it'll be 2 o' clock in the morning and I can't sleep and I'm like, well, I would. I'm up. I might as well work a little bit or do something. So I'll order something and they'll bring it and they'll freaking hit the doorbell. And I wrote, do not ring the doorbell.

[Amy]

You would think simply just because it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Two in the morning. Yeah.

[Amy]

Not ring.

[Morgan]

No, guys, it could be a party.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, they don't always ring the doorbell. I would say most times they don't, but I'm concerned every time, and they ring the freaking doorbell.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Then you know what that means. Dogs go crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wakes up, pregnant wife. It's a whole situation. Yeah.

[Amy]

That's no good.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you tip them less or would you fear retaliation?

[Amy]

First of all, I've never ordered anything at 2 in the morning.

[Morgan]

Never like a pizza after a night of, like, drinking.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

I'm like, wow, they work that late? There's not a cutoff.

[Bobby Bones]

No 24 hours. Because it keeps all the restaurants or.

[Amy]

All the places that are 24 hours up. And now I get it. Yeah, that's cool. No, I'm not. I'm just gonna assume they didn't see my note. I'm not gonna penalize.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at the note.

[Morgan]

That's what the note's there.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what the note's there for.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You just woke everybody up.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's.

[Morgan]

Do you tell them when you see or do you not see them?

[Bobby Bones]

I know I see them for the most part. A couple times. Maybe twice, I've seen them reach toward, like, push the button. And I look at them, I put my hands up, like, what are you doing?

[Amy]

Do they still ring it at 2 in the morning? Someone's at your door and you're trying to pick up five miles. Oh, thank you.

[Morgan]

You're like road raging but in your house.

[Bobby Bones]

I said don't push the button. I wrote on the note, don't push the doorbell. And they'll ring it and I'll be right by the door, by the window and I'll put my arms up like, no, what are you doing?

[Morgan]

I'm picturing them laughing and hitting it again just to make you mad.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm beside myself when it happens.

[Amy]

You know how you were saying you use multiple apps, like, in case the curry is not available. I'll. I.

[Bobby Bones]

It tells me a courier is not available.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, I deal shop.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh yeah.

[Amy]

So like at one restaurant in particular, sometimes Uber Eats will have a buy one, get one free of this hamburger.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't we do the buy one, get one free? And Amy, she felt like she messed up. Remember that whole thing?

[Amy]

Oh yeah, Bogo. Yeah, that was. Yeah, I was confused by that at the store. Like you don't have to actually buy two at the store to get the deal. If you just buy one, you'll pay half the price. I learned that. Yes, but Uber Eats always. They'll do this burger, buy one, get them free. Where Doordash may not have that. So it's like Uber is running the deal. But I'll shop around because sometimes you can get cool things like that. And my son eats so much now that I'm like, heck yeah, he can get two burgers for the price of one.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Amy]

But I think in that case, you do have to buy both burgers.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby. Okay, thank you. We're done. Thank you guys. Hope you guys have a great day. We will see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
