Come on, Bobby. Transmitting across America, this is the family show. Let's go. Welcome to Friday's show. Morning studio. Morning. All right, CO Wetzel in later. But breaking news. Yesterday, Raymundo said somebody's going to get in an accident in the parking garage. We made bets on it and Amy's like, don't put that out there because that's going to happen. Yeah, I don't like that energy. There was an accident in the parking garage. Morgan, you go. Yeah. So I'm sitting at the light. I had just pulled right out of our parking garage and I was sitting at the light waiting to go, and all of a sudden I hear a boom. And I was, oh, my gosh, was that my car? What just happened? Happened right behind me. I look in my rear view and there was a T bone that happened as somebody was pulling out of the parking garage into another car that was on the street. And like, so it wasn't us. Oh, good. But we did. She didn't see one. Hey, it's getting closer and closer. Oh, no. It's getting closer and closer. Somebody gets wrecked. Me either. But we're in like a multi level parking garage which we've never had before, and we get into wrecks almost every day. And Morgan saw one. Yeah, it's like the chupacabra. Chupacabra? Oh, yeah, the. The Mexican. Mexican devil thing, whatever that is. You just kind of see it. You don't ever catch it. Guys, be careful. Slow down. Going around the garage. Yeah. And coming out because there's another parking garage that's right next to it that's a little weird. Same garage, but people will like, come up from it from a different part. And if you come out at the same time, you kind of look at each other and you're like, well, who gets to go first? It's like an insurance company put this place together like. Or like a. To make money. Yes. And they just want wrecks or like a car. Like people that fix cars. Okay. Thank you, Morgan, for that. Our old friend Carolina Roy is on the phone. Roy, what's up, buddy? What's up, Bobby? Boom. You tell me. Hey, so I posted in this group because I'm gonna go to Disney World next week because I got all this comp time build up. And I posted a selfie of me and I said on the post, I said, hey, not sure if this is allowed. Please delete if not, I'm doing a solo Disney trip and we'll be in the parks 1217 and 1218 if anyone wants to meet up, tag along, ride rides, or go get dinner. Not looking for a date. I'm just looking for Disney friends. So I posted it and let's just say that post got 29.7 thousand reactions on it. Okay, so you're not. Let's just say, yeah, got it. And then on top of that, people are messaging me like, you should be a model. Like, you should do a Disney bachelorette. Disney bachelor show. So, like I'm trying to like capitalize on this. Like, what should I do, like marketing wise. Okay, first of all, Carolina, Roy, that's really cool. I like it that you're going to Disney trip by yourself. Think that shows you're independent guy. I think it'd be fun. I also think the idea is novel to go, hey, I'm going. Anybody going to be there? We'll look for friends. All that's good. But you didn't go like Bieber viral, meaning like millions and millions like to capitalize. I think 29 or 30,000 is like a fun. I don't know that you're going to be able to turn this into any sort of monetary gain. I think you could turn it into friendships. But I think what you could do is if this works and you like are able to track it and do your page and you do it again somewhere else, it's gonna be your thing where you do alone things and then you meet other people and then you can bring sponsors in that way. Like that helps you, like, pay for the trip. And I want to say this respectfully. I want to say this respectfully because I like you and I like it when you call that. That's not viral yet, but you're on to something that could be if you do it right a few times. Could you pitch the show to Disney? No. Okay. There's no show. I mean, in his mind, he's got a show. Dude, in my mind, I got ten hundred shows. And that's not even a number. Ten hundred is not even a number. This is what I would say, Roy. I would do that and I would, I would capture the whole story on social media. Like, you posted this. Hey, it's Roy. I would do another one. Like, all right, we're going to Disney. I'm gonna meet up with friends. Every meet up with friend, you do a little video. Every time. Meet up with friend, you do a little video YouTube series. Here's who you met Maybe you fall in love. Are you roll. You single, right? Yes, I am. Yeah. Maybe you, you go on a couple of dates there. It wasn't about a date. Maybe you go on a couple of dates. I think if you were to track this whole thing and you make it a like a 20 part TikTok story, I think that's where this starts. But I don't think this by itself is a way that you can make money. But I do think it is a novel idea because next up it's like, all right, we did Disney. Next up we're going to go to Six Flags Over Texas and who wants to meet? And you do the same thing. And then that turns into how you become an influencer because you have an idea that's slightly different with a slightly different type of person. Yeah. Someone also suggested that I should make a tick tock about it and then hopefully maybe that will go viral. So when I go to Disney World, I can go on tick tock live and people can like send me gifts and all that stuff. And then that can also pay for trips and all that stuff too, because they're like, they're into that like excitement. Dude, go and find you a lady, you know, put some ears on her. Do like five dates in five days. Five different ladies. I mean, that's, it's not even dirty dog. That's just you doing content. That's adult dating. No, but I'm saying it's not like adult, like he's going to Disney. He's not doing like Disney after Dark. Oh, yeah. Or Ding Dong at Disney. Yeah, that's what I call welcome to Carolina. Roy's Ding Dong at Disney. And tonight, Morgan. Single. Yeah, why not? Morgan, you want to tag along? I do love Disney, but I don't think I can get off work for this. Good point, good point. So, Roy, this is what I would say, use this as an opportunity to become a type of influencer because I'd imagine. What are you, 40s, 50s, male? Shoot, I'm only 28. Dude, you got the oldest voice I've ever heard for someone in their 20s. Yeah. Oh. So now I feel better about him not asking if I'm single. It's cause I'm older. Oh, she felt bad. Amy. Oh my goodness. Hurt. Wow. I just was like, okay, Roy, I'm going to say this, and I don't say this often. I think you're onto something. It's just going to take a little investment of your time and you need to like make like make all this content and Then, oh, Morgan's good at content. Then do it again. But I think you have. You're onto something. Okay. And if you do build a page for it, let us know and I'll give you a hand. As long as you're not, like, on the sexual predator registry or something. We have to look that up first. Good point. And you're probably not. I got a good. No, no, good. What? A good record. Roy, do the. I would. I would do this. Make a page for, you know, Carolina, Roy's travels or something. Not Ding Dong. Right. We're not doing Ding Dong. And Disney is a different bit. And we'll talk soon, but call us back, okay, once you get that all set up. All right, all right. Sounds like a plan. So it's a long term plan, not a short term plan. Short term plans are nothing. Long term plans are where it's at. You're going to become an influencer. It's the anonymous. Anonymous. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mail bag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I love my boyfriend, but he must have been born late and never caught up. It doesn't matter. He is always late. Casual gathering late. Family dinner late. Something really important late. Fortunately, he has a job where being punctual isn't a requirement. But I know he's lost jobs in the past because of lateness. I don't know if I can spend the rest of my life with the guy who's always late. So I guess I have a decision to make. What do you think? Sign Miss Punctual. This is not a I'm not going to spend the rest of my life decision because he's late or not late. If you're already feeling like you don't want to spend the rest of your life with him, this is one of the things you use to put another little gold bar on the scale to weighs it. So the answer to that is if your person's always late, that is not a reason to go. I can't be with you the rest of my life. Like my wife. Not super punctual. Sometimes, fine. Sometimes she just lives like it's gonna be good. But she has a great attitude about life. She just thinks everything's gonna work out one way or another. I am the exact opposite, which is why I'm on time everywhere. Because I think nothing will work out. And I need to be there on time or early. Because if it's broken when I get there, I have some time to fix it. There's no or early. You're just Early. It's not on time or early. It's just early. Your on time is early. Fair. Which is good. Okay. Which is difficult. I agree. Okay. If you're. It's an anxiety thing too, right? It's not a look, watch me, I'm better. It's an rooted in it. For sure. Something will be wrong and I must get there early. There are only three things I can control in my life. It's when I'm going to be there, the kind of attitude I'm going to have when I get there, and the work ethic I'm going to have once I arrive. That's it. That's the only two things I can control. No. The answer is no. You don't break up with him just because of this. If you want to work on him with this, there are things you can do. And those things are you're going to have to have some sort of treaty. You're going to have to have a negotiation. And it's like, hey, I'm happy to do this for you if you can do this for me, but if you can, I can't. So that's a way to do it. Another thing to do that I do sometimes is lie about what time we need to be somewhere, what time we need to leave. Problem with that is once you get caught, you always got to back it up more and more and more and more and more. Because I've been caught lying before. And it's like, no, your calendar says this. And I'm like, oh, she never looks at my calendar, but I like her to have any. So if I'm not home, she knows where I am. And I'm like, this is the one time you look at the calendar. So the answer is, he's never going to listen to you. I just want you to be late. Please be on time, everybody. You know what I mean? That's never just going to be a lot of fights, though. Absolutely. There has to be some sort of compromise of if you can be on time. And I will give you a skill. This is an 8 or above. I need you to be on time. This is that important. And there's something that drives him crazy about you. Identify that and you can work on it and fix that. In exchange, neither will be fully fixed. But as long as you both know and you can identify 8 or above, it's mid and you can be honest about it, that will help the relationship. But you don't want to be with him anyway. I can already tell. No, you don't know that. Should I dump him because he's late? She does not want to be with him. Okay, but no, you will not change him. But what you can do is offer him change that he feels is valuable in you, that will make him want to give you some of that back. There you have it. That somebody's late all the time. I'd never. I can never be with them. Oh, yeah, I just said that. I'm like, yeah, no fucking work. All right, there you go. Close it up. Here's a voicemail from Andy in Detroit. Heard you guys talking about Brett Eldridge Christmas show, and I thought you were being a little nuts about it, man. Went to the show tonight. Just needed to give my own review. I took my family, my four boys. I've never heard a person's voice that was so perfect for every single Christmas song that's ever been made. Even loved the stuff that he had on his own. So I wanted to say thank you very much for the recommendation. Really enjoy listening to you guys. Have a great week. Thank you for that. It's amazing. Yes. I could be biased, as Brett is one of my best friends, but if I remove that, I probably would think he's even better. I would make love to his voice. Oh, my. Not him. Not him. Not because I got married, but his wife. His voice, like, showed up and was like, hey. I'd be like, well, that's weird. You're a voice. But let's give it a run. It's awesome. His Christmas show is amazing. And again, I'm not Mr. Christmas. I'm not Christmas guy that much. So go check it out once. I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra. It was good, too. You saw them? Yeah, in Austin. That's cool. It was really cool. It was rock and roll the whole time. The Brett show is amazing. Thank you. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So Popsugar had an entire article on illness etiquette, and I thought we could go over it because, you know, a lot of illnesses going around this time of year. And, well, Lunchbox might benefit from knowing how to handle things if you're feeling sick. Yeah. Like, don't come to work. Yeah. Like, with your friends. Oh, that's like, the number one thing for work. If you're sick, stay home, it says. But when it comes to your friendships, like, if you have plans to meet up with a friend and you're feeling a little under the weather, it's polite to let the friend know ASAP so that they can decide if they still want to hang out with you. Yeah. And I would think another one, especially when it comes to lunchbox, is I stop denying you're sick. Yeah, I did that a couple times. But, I mean, he admits it now when he fought it so hard. No, pot, kettle, pot, kettle. I mean, this woman over here. Oh, no, it's just allergies. Oh, it's my testosterone. She had Covid the whole time. Yeah, that's me. She's the same person. Did any of y'all get it? No. We know. So we're also. I would say to just. I'll be devil's advocate for Amy's case. This is not something that consistently happens with her. You're here a lot sick and you're like, this is just one allergy, not even allergies. Bug battling. And then we're bug battling at home. And then all of a sudden. So, yes, go anymore. Another part of etiquette. When you do get seasonal allergies, you can explain to people and should, if you're sounding sick, explain ahead of time. This is just allergies. People lie, though. People think it's allergies and it ain't the. Go to the allergies. Yes. So illness etiquette there. And the real reason you need to be in airplane mode while flying in case anybody's taking a trip this weekend. Well, a pilot has gone viral on TikTok because he's saying, look, it's really not going to cause the plane to fall out of the sky or anything, but it does mess with the systems on board with radio towers. And so if everybody on the plane decides they're not going to put their phone in airplane mode, sometimes when they do try to connect, it's like get instructions from air traffic or something. The towers interfere and they don't have a good connection. So he said, that's really what it boils down to. One guy was like, I was. Started flying and all of a sudden Candy Crush is on my screen. He couldn't. He couldn't get the plane out because I was playing Candy Crush. Yeah. Mostly it's just us for. Listen, it's 99.999% not going to affect anything. And I'm going to tell you, I never put mine in airplane mode. Yeah. I'm always impressed when I look over and I see the people next to me all doing it. I'm like, good for you. Yeah, I never do. But that's what it is. Frequencies could interact. Okay. And then this other person that works in the airlines, like as a baggage carrier, they went viral talking about how dirty our luggage is. So they were talking about never putting it on your bed or a hotel bed when you get there. And after every single trip, you should wipe it down with like a disinfectant, which I've never done. And it does seem like, well, that's great. That's a lot of work. But it makes a lot of sense. You're dragging it to an airport, you're putting it up in a thing or it's checked, it's. But yeah, it's just like we're here. Throw it on the bed. Okay. Yeah. And one of the hottest Christmas wish list items this year is an old school digital camera from about 15 to 20 years ago. So if you got a teen or a Gen Z er in your life, this is a hot item. So we've moved from old school being a Polaroid to now. Old school's a digital. Yeah. And my daughter's 17 and she found my little digital camera from about 20 years ago and she's carrying it around everywhere. Back in my day, the old school was you put that cloth over your head and then you get under. And that's not what's behind. Time marches on. Okay, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. Welcome to the world of Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. The perfect gift for the music lover in your life. And now they're $50 off until December 29th.

It's Time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. Here's a Tell me something good from the voicemail. It's kind of a personal ish one. Hit it. I was just calling with a person to tell me something good. A few weeks ago, I had an idea to get my daughter the Bobby Bones Raging Idiots kids cd, but I couldn't find it a physical copy anywhere and posted on the B team Facebook page. And Kim B. Came through and got me a copy of a cd and I asked her what I owed for it and she just said pimp and joy. So I just wanted to share that story with you guys. It's awesome. People looking out. B team looking out. And yeah, Eddie and I did a kids record called the Raging Kitty, which you can't get it on cd. I guess Cracker Barrel had it forever. Yeah, that was cool. But you can get it online. Just it's Raging Idiots, but look for Raging Idiots. That's awesome. I love listeners are looking out for each other. That's a Tell me something good. Thank you. That's what it's all about. That was Tell me something good. Let's have some fun. Thanks, everybody. Yeah, let's have fun. Thanks for jumping. Hey. Pineapples were such a major status symbol in Europe in the 1700s. You could rent one to take to a party. Buying one would cost the equivalent of $8,000 in today's dollars. Wow. You would rent it, but nobody could eat it. Well, yeah, if you don't cut it open. Those things are pretty indestructible. They're like all pointy and sharp. You just show up with it. You show up with it. Nobody touch it. Yeah, don't touch my pineapple. I would say it's a bit like jewelry. You wouldn't wear it, but you could carry it. And then they think you were a baller because you brought a pineapple. Absolutely. They would. Hey, Johnny's got a pineapple. Holy crap. Is that real or is that a fake? Amy, Female frogs play dead to dodge unwanted male attention. Yeah, I think back in the day when I was single, girls would do that at bars. To me, a lot of. A lot of dead people in here. Didn't tell me to walk around. Why are all the girls dead? Yeah, that's good. Good for them, eddie. Yeah. So April 11, 1954, according to AI, is the most boring day in the world. Again. Why? Because nothing really happened that day. Like, if you look at history, nothing of significance really happened that day. So according to AI, that is the boring Day. We need more of those days where nothing happens. Yeah, that'd be awesome. It's just nothing. Nothing happens for a change. When Doritos launched in 1966, they were just plain corn tortilla chips. The nacho cheese powder wasn't added until 1972. Oh, I mean, is Doritos. Follow me here. Number one, pound for pound, the best chip. Yes. It's gotta be, right? Yeah. And you start throwing in your favorite kinds of Doritos. Spicy ranch, onion ring, Johnny Appleseed. I don't know the flavors they have now in Doritos, but Doritos, I think, are just the best. Oh. I mean, Cheetos is really close, but no, Doritos are. And there are different reasons that at other times, some could be better. But I'm saying pound for pound, then nothing beats a straight up Dorito, in my opinion. Amy, you want to fight it? Well, I'm thinking about it, but if we're not having any flavor on it, then, yes, it wins. Because, like, if take the cheese away from a Cheeto, you're not gonna want that. Well, you're not gonna. If you take the cheese away from the Dorito, you're not gonna take the cheese. That was a long time ago. If you take the cheese from a Cheeto, you just have a toe, no cheese. I mean, to your point, because I love Ruffles, but I like the cheddar Ruffles. So if you take away any flavoring, Dorito wins because a tortilla chip is good. Okay, we're not taking away the cheese. I'm just saying pound for pound, the current Dorito is, I think, the best overall chip. There are times where I like Amy's chip, too. What's that one called? Flippers Lays. Ruffles. Crackles. Ruffles. I like a ruffle. Sometimes a little too salty. You know what else I like? Sometimes it's a plus, but I can't give it the overall. But it's close. Is the Pringle. Oh, yeah. Like, a Pringle is awesome, but if you say one chip for the rest of your life, you only get one chip. I'm going Dorito. Okay, I'm with you. Funyuns. If you're on road trip. No road trip. Nope. Yeah, here. Here's the thing about road trips. Here's what you're going to get. You get Funyuns. You're going to get those carnival, like, foam peanuts that you chew on, and then you're going to get red hot. You never get them any other Time in your life. Except for only when you're on road trips and you've been in the car for six hours. Worse. Road trips. Next. Corn nuts are so good, they'll break your teeth. Yeah, they will. Things that you only buy when you've been in the car for many hours. You buy those, like foamy peanut things. Yeah, only when I'm on a road trip because I'm like, oh my God, no one buys them. What do they taste like? Crap. And I guess it's only because you're so bored and you're like, I gotta try something new lunchbox. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells. Jingle all the Way is one of our favorite Christmas songs. But did you know when it was first originated? In 1850, it was a Thanksgiving song. That's interesting. The guy wrote it for a Sunday school play and it was called One Horse Open Sleigh. And then like eight years later, someone changed it and said, you know what? This is a Christmas song. Let's make it Jingle Bells. Wow. You can fact check me on this specifically, but when you talk about that, like Coca Cola is the reason that Santa Claus kind of came back into pop culture. Really? Yeah. Because they needed a new. Do you also see that they found the very body of the Kris Kringle, like the original old, old 1700s, like person that. I know there are kids listening, but isn't Santa Claus but inspired like a lot of good people to do a lot of good things? Yes. A Nick. No. Chris Crane. Different. Different person. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I want to give credit to my guy, James Lord Pierpont. He's the one that wrote it. So Coca Cola did not invent Santa Claus because Santa Claus been around forever for kids bringing toys and stuff. But he wasn't. Kids didn't know about him as much. So they used him in that ad where he's sliding down the sleigh. And it made Coca Cola a winter beverage because Coca Cola was only known as a summer beverage back in the day. What? Yeah. And that is what actually make Coca Cola year round. Do you ever watch that professor? I watch this professor's tick tocks. I should find his name. I watch him talk for 10 minutes at a time on clips. I watched him talk about Syria and why Syria is having this. You know, that dictator had to heard about that. But he was like talking about why when we invaded Iraq, it broke it down. A lot of those people went to Syria. They were mad. How it doesn't matter. But I watched this professor. I wish I knew his name. He's awesome. And I watch his lectures all the time. Is that how you found out about Santa Claus? Yes. He told the story about, like, a year ago. Yeah, Morgan, by the age of 50, a person will have lost 50% of their taste buds. The decline does start a little bit later for men, but, you know, sucks for women. By the age of 50, a man will also lose about, I don't know, 70% of his sperm. Is that right? Merry Christmas. Is that the scientists? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anybody else have one? I have more. All right, next up, a chemist named William Mitchell is credited as the key inventor behind again, a chemist, famous chemist, Pop Rocks, Tang and Cool Whip. My dude rocked with his kids. That is a chemist. Where the kids were like, my dad's a chemist, and they're proud of it. They knew what it was. I haven't thought about Tang in a long time. Or Pop Rocks, bro. Oh, yeah, that too. You put on mouth. Like, what's making it do that? Reese's Pieces. Excuse me? That's how we set it in Arkansas. Reese's Pieces. Here we go. Aren't made with the same filling as Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Oh, yeah, that's obvious because it's a creamier consistency. And then finally, the term soap opera comes from old, dramatic radio shows from the 20s and 30s that were sponsored by Procter and Gamble, and they would use the shows to plug their soap products. That's amazing. So chew on that. Fun fact. Fun fact Friday. If Amazon delivers a package and you can see what the package is, is it Amazon's fault if Christmas is ruined? Oh, so that's basically the question. I want to give you the story here. The dad ordered his kid a Barbie Dream House from Amazon, and it came early. And it was. You could see what it was in the package. Here's a clip of the dad and his daughter's walking up to the house and seeing the package. It's from the cam. And then him realizing that the surprise he really wanted to surprise him is ruined. Oh, my God. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Oh, what the. Close your eyes. Get inside. Get inside. That is not for you. That is not for you. That's the wrong house. Get inside. Get inside. It's not the wrong house. And they're freaking out because it's out of the. It's just a big Barbie Dream House box. And this is what isn't fair about kids and Christmas is that they know that's theirs, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. And not only that, it also doesn't count as much now on Christmas morning, because it's not a surprise. It still counts. But the beauty of that was it's gonna be a surprise now. They just want it. They just want it now because they know it's there. And then it's the wrong house. Is that Amazon's fault, Amy? I don't think so. No. Or is it on the parents? Attractive packages? Yes. Yeah, you just stay on top of it or keep your kids out of the way. It's not Amazon's fault. Lunchbox. Have it mailed to a neighbor. I mean, you know when your package is coming. If you have same day delivery or next day delivery, you know when it's going to be there. And your Amazon account alerts you like Prime. If you have Prime. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, that sucks. I can agree with both of you because I do that with gifts. I send them to somebody else's house for my wife, and they come packaged. But even if she's like, oh, this is for him, she can look on the box, see where it's from. Smart. But he's. The fact that he is like, so on tilt. He says the F word is so fun. That's. That stinks. It's not the wrong house, kids. And do you give it to them then? Oh, yeah, Because I think. I think the kids believe that it's not yours. Because I remember I saw a pair of Jordans when I was like, I don't know, 12? And my parents. Oh, you're saying they. They'll believe the dad, they'll buy it. Yeah. Cuz. And I. I was like, oh, those aren't mine for sure. Because my parents are like, oh, no, they're for someone else. And I believed it. So he shouldn't just go, okay, fine, you can have it now. No, no, no, no. Lie to him. Asking parents. Oh, keep lying, keep lying. Got it. And then when they open it for Christmas, they're like, it is mine. Yeah, you're a liar. Oh, kids are that dumb? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they are. That's pretty cool. Oh, it just depends. Here's a voicemail we just got. Hey, Bobby Bones show. I have a question about getting work done on your car. My car was at a shock for about a week and they could not figure out what was wrong with it, so I ended up having to tow it back home. But they're still trying to charge me for the work done on the car, quote unquote, and the parts they ordered for it. What would you guys do in this situation. My husband thinks we shouldn't pay the bill, but I am really unsure. I think there are multiple levels to this one. If they wanted your business in the future, they would charge you nothing. That's probably the great customer service thing to do. So you go in, they can't figure out what's wrong with it. There are no parts they should charge you for because there are no parts to put on the car. So that part done, they always send the parts back. If they're charging you for parts and they've not fixed the car bad car dealership number two, I can understand if there is some time spent, an hour spent, two hours spent for them charging for the hourly work. Because that is work that somebody did there. Yeah, the labor. Yeah, I can understand that now. So that part I will say you should pay it if that's the part. I would absolutely dispute any sort of charge for a part that you're not using anyway. If they were someone that wanted your business, the smart thing to do would be to charge you nothing and go like, hey, we couldn't figure it out, but we are going to figure it out. So come back next week, we'll have somebody who have a better understanding and charge you nothing. And then you'll probably go to them all the time. And that's how you build business. But the answer is somebody did spend time doing labor that wasn't the dealership. That's just a normal person like us that's doing their job that has to have their bills paid. So pay the labor, don't pay the part. But hopefully the car dealership is smart enough to realize you shouldn't pay anything because they want to keep you as a long term customer. Amy. Yeah. I feel like it's a good compromise though to pay the labor and just even for your husband because he clearly wants to just not pay. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Can you not pay at all? They can send you to an agency. Yeah. And they'll collect. There's all that. But then they have to go through some steps. Let's go, Ray. Give me the next voicemail here. Hey, Bobby. My daughter attended the PBR Professional Bull Riders thing in St. Louis this past weekend. In the event, there was a bull named Bobby Bones. Just thought it was funny and thought you might want to know you have a bull named after you. Love it. Wait, did you know that Often called a bull myself. So not. Hey, no coincidence. I did not know Scuba. Can we try to find this bull and find the owner and see if it's after me or just a cool name. Yeah, yeah. I sent you the link so you can see it but it's like black and stealth and cool looking. Also. It looks like me too. It looks just like you dude. It has glasses. Oh that's cool. Yeah, yeah, thanks. We'll try to find the owner. I'm curious to know if it is named after me. Yeah, that'd be cool. Even if it's not, let's talk to them. Okay, cool. Thanks.

It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good. A Delta flight got stuck on the tarmac in Atlanta and passengers were hot. They were tired. They were all cramped together and like an hour had gone by. And then hear over the speaker that the flight crew that's supposed to come board their plane is now delayed. So they're like, oh, no, we're sitting here even longer. So this man stood up, got his saxophone out, started putting it together and then he started playing Christmas carols. That's cool. If somebody and we're gonna play some audio. But I want to say this. If somebody jumps up and starts like singing and they're only kind of okay or like dancing and you're like, what's happening? And you're trying to sleep. This what you're going to hear. I don't know who I know Lunchbox may disagree, but I don't know who's going to hate this. Go ahead. I mean, that gives me chills on the back of my neck a little bit, because that's like, universally. Yeah. And everyone's in a bad mood, and then collectively, they start to turn around and become more positive. So I gotta shout him out. The sax player is Wayne Hoey. He served in the US Army Band for 20 years. He also was a middle school band teacher in Colorado Springs and does substitute teaching as well. So just shout out to Wayne Grinch anything you want to say because. Because the Grinch does it. His heart does get bigger at times. I will say, what if I'm napping and you're gonna be playing the sax? I don't think you're gonna be nap so hot. It's gonna be too loud. But I will say that it wasn't as loud as I thought it was gonna be. I thought it was gonna be overly obnoxious, like, but it was actually decent. He didn't suck. Like, he didn't. He did not suck. Yeah, you're right. He was very good in the army band for 20 years. I would say it's different if that's midair when I'm trying to nap. There you go. And some people could be irritated, but I think, dude, when we're waiting on the tarmac, you need something. If there's something because you're hot, you're, like, looking at your. There's no end inside. Yeah. Now, how many songs do you play, though? Oh, so. Right. That's what I'm gonna say. The Christmas stuff. Three hours. It's a Bruce Springsteen show, basically. This is the part where some adults may lose their mind. He did do Baby Shark for the kids. Oh, that's funny, because I want to be able to shake it the whole time. Yeah, it made on there. I get it. Yeah. It made everyone laugh. And he does have his own band, the Wayne Hoey Big Band. So if you want to check them out, you can. That's like a movie you shouldn't be watching, though. Dwayne Hoey Big Bang. I hope I'm saying Hoey. Me too. It could be Hoey. Howie, whatever the case, great job. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Let's go do the morning Corny. Let's go the morning Corny. A gingerbread man went to the doctor and was like, oh, I hurt My knee. What'd the doctor say? No. Have you tried icing it? That was the morning. Corny. I like that one. Me, too. That's pretty good. I'm gonna give you your bet. I know you've been upset with me because I have not been giving you bets each week. I have been on our show 25 whistles. But now I can tell you don't listen. I was testing her out, guys. Yeah. I wasn't, like, really, really upset, but okay. You were talking about me not giving you the DraftKings bet. Yes. Behind my back? No. I said, I wonder why not. Was it behind my back? Yes. Yeah. But I would have said everything to your face. Okay, here's what I'm going to give you. You're going to do. You're going to pick a player to score a touchdown. You're going to go to the Texans game and you're going to pick Joe Mixon to score Anytime Touchdown. Okay? And bet $75 on it. Whoa. Anytime. Okay. I've never done this kind of bet before. I've never picked a player. You have. You haven't. We hit. It was Bruce Hall. It was the jets earlier this year. Okay. Forgot that you're. That's okay. And I can show you how. It's very easy. DraftKings has it all set up. If you go to the game and you click into it, it'll say, anytime you want to bet. Anytime bet. Joe Mixon, 75. Okay, got it. That's the bet of the week. Anytime. Touchdown. That's it. Good job. Joe Mixon. Can you spell that, Joe? Well, yeah, I got that part. Joe. What am I. You said spell it. That she shames me. Because it could have been like, Jo O. Correct. Mixon. I bet you can spell Mixon. I have. M, I, X, A N. Oh, she can. No, she can't. That's Mixan. M I, X, O, N. M I, X, O, N. Yes, that's it. Got it. Drive kings.

So we didn't know the code, but you can put in whistles or you can put in Bobby. Either one. Make sure you do that. That'll help us. But, Amy, that's your bet. Okay, Got it.
