[Bobby]

Tell me something good. Amy. Go.

[Amy]

JB Bobby reporting to Didi.

[Bobby]

I think you should explain what JB Bobby means.

[Amy]

Okay, so when Bobby gets invited to do something and he has a conflict of interest and can't do it.

[Bobby]

Interest,

[Amy]

Prior commitment. Yeah, I'm talking about over the years, whatever it is. You may have a scheduling conflict or whatever.

[Bobby]

That's different. Conflict eventually mean like if McDonald's was something. I have a Burger King endorsement.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

I'm just not able to do something.

[Amy]

Yeah, sorry. I guess the appropriate way to say is if it conflicts with your schedule.

[Bobby]

Great.

[Amy]

Over the years they I will get a call or an email or whatever and you know, it happens. And lately in the last two weeks it's already happened twice.

[Bobby]

Guys, I can do nothing.

[Lunchbox]

Can you tell us what it is

[Bobby]

and we know why I can do nothing? I had to leave the cruise early.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, it's totally good. I just.

[Danielle Fishel]

I also.

[Amy]

I guess I'm. I'm thankful. Sometimes I get in my head about, oh, they really want Bobby. So this is stupid. Like I'm going to show up. But my tell me's in the good part is that really with this thing that's coming up next week, I don't, I haven't had like the negative thoughts. Like I'm feeling prepared, I'm feeling good. I got the questions last night, I went over them. I sent an email this morning and I just informed an executive in our company. I just replied, I will be prepared.

[Bobby]

Can I brag on what it is? Because she probably will not give you the full scope.

[Lunchbox]

Please know what's going on.

[Bobby]

There's a massive client that spends a ton of money and they're like, hey, we need someone to come and do this fire. Like, oh, the Fireside Chat. There's never a frigging fire. I've been to so many of these, I'm like, where's the fire?

[Amy]

I think the idea is. Yeah, that you're supposed to be sitting around a fire and building a fire.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Or don't call it that.

[Amy]

But it's normally in a conference room ballroom.

[Bobby]

So Amy's going to do it and it's for a massive client. Big deal, front facing, lots of money on the line and I think Amy will do a great job. Okay, man, let me show you.

[Amy]

I wasn't freaking out till you just said a lot of money on the line.

[Eddie]

A lot at stake here.

[Bobby]

No money online at all. And nobody will be there and nobody cares. It's walk ins only. No, you'll do great. And so what is your specific role?

[Amy]

Well, I thought so the last time I led a Fireside Chat with an executive in our company, he was the one answering and I was asking the questions. I'm pretty sure that was a moment where again, Bobby was requested because it was with Rich, like our cfo.

[Bobby]

Big, big gang, like big.

[Amy]

He was in from New York. It was with Home Depot. Like I just had to ask the questions and Rich was answering them. That's my only other experience of the Fireside Chat and one of our executives. So I just assumed when I got the ask that's what it was. And then last night when I got the email, there was all these questions and it was, I'm the one that has to answer them. And so that I guess I'm feel, I'm still feeling good about it. And the more I talk about it though, I'm starting to get a lot of questions.

[Eddie]

But you know, the questions.

[Amy]

And now I have the questions ahead of time, but that is the, the pressure of. It's very different Asking the questions and sort of having to just be a moderator of sorts and being the one answering.

[Bobby]

You're going to want to freestyle a bit, and that's okay, but a very bit.

[Amy]

Well, what other method would I. I mean, I'm going to be prepared.

[Eddie]

You mean like Eminem freestyle, for example?

[Amy]

Yeah. Let's talk through this.

[Bobby]

If Amy sends me a voice memo, it is usually with one thing in mind. Six and a half minutes later, she's done a whole podcast in my voice memo, and it's gone to, like, four different things.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby]

So I would encourage you. You need. Definitely need you in this. Be you. But just try to limit yourself on how many side paths you take.

[Amy]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

How long is this supposed to be?

[Amy]

I'll clarify that.

[Bobby]

It'd probably be 40 minutes or so.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'll clarify the time.

[Lunchbox]

So three questions?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby]

Two, possibly.

[Amy]

No, there are way more questions than that.

[Bobby]

You got the joke.

[Amy]

And some are about, this is a joke, Amy.

[Bobby]

It's a joke. Amy. He's saying it takes that long for you to answer a question.

[Amy]

I get the joke. There's a few about AI, and I'm like,

[Bobby]

you lead that one. What do they have to say now to prove that we're not AI? Oh, 100. What is it?

[Eddie]

Guaranteed human.

[Bobby]

Guaranteed human. Because we don't use AI on the air or anything. So what's the, like, what's the question about that one?

[Amy]

Okay, let me pull it up because

[Bobby]

I got a couple jokes you could do that I would probably do. I don't know what the answer is, though. Go ahead.

[Amy]

You know I love a good joke.

[Bobby]

Just ask me the question. Let me see what I would say.

[Amy]

I'm scrolling down to it.

[Eddie]

Are you just gonna raw dog this one?

[Bobby]

Okay, I'm just. This doesn't count, but I don't even know what the question is, but let me see what I would say.

[Amy]

Okay. AI is a headline in almost every conversation in 2026. How will it impact your job?

[Bobby]

Thank you for asking. It will impact my job. Like, something like that. If you could really make sure that they know that that part is the joke.

[Eddie]

Like, dude, that is hilarious.

[Bobby]

You could even do. If you're sitting down, it's like, thank you for asking. And you do a little bit of the robot move.

[Amy]

Like, oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

It will not affect my job at all.

[Amy]

Think you. I don't know for. We don't have to say the client, but think about who the client is. That's kind of funny.

[Bobby]

No, I think it's kind of funny, regardless of who the client is. I know.

[Amy]

But also, like.

[Bobby]

But you have to sell it.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

And not for too long. Cause you can also just go too far.

[Amy]

Go too far. So I just go. Thank you for asking.

[Bobby]

Thank you for asking that question. It's something I have often thought about. And then you get a little laugh. It won't be a massive laugh because the crowd's not there to laugh, but you'll get a good laugh. And then you'd be like, hey, there's something really important that we're doing with our company. It's called Guaranteed Human. You hear it all the time. Is that we make sure that what our listeners hear is absolutely human voices. I said, but that doesn't mean the AI can't be used in other ways. For example, when we research stuff, I would compare it to what the Internet used to be 25 years ago. And people are like, oh, people have the Internet now. Oh, life is over. No, the Internet was a tool. And if used right, AI is a tool. And we're using it the right way. But we're also not fooling or manipulating our listeners. That is what I am supposed to say. And then you can, if it goes really well at the beginning, that's how you close it.

[Amy]

Can you say that again?

[Bobby]

No.

[Eddie]

That's so good.

[Bobby]

You always go back and listen on the podcast.

[Amy]

Oh, I'll send you the video.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Bobby]

True.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby]

That would be my answer to that. But I think that's also the true answer.

[Eddie]

But if they don't laugh at the first. Well, let me tell you, don't go back.

[Bobby]

Don't go back. Yeah, don't go back.

[Eddie]

Did you get that?

[Lunchbox]

Or maybe they didn't get it the first time. So go back and maybe they'll get it the second time.

[Eddie]

No, don't do that.

[Bobby]

But you don't even have to do that second part if you don't feel like it. But that's the answer, because that's the truth. But also it's like, AI is great if used in the right way. But just like anything else, there's a wrong way to use everything that you get it. Yeah. Any other questions you were struggling with?

[Amy]

I totally get it.

[Bobby]

I mean, you're gonna do great. I'm not worried.

[Amy]

Yeah. No. I feel pretty good about a lot of the other ones. It's mostly speaking to, like, our relationship with our listeners and feel like I have.

[Bobby]

You don't have sex with them.

[Amy]

Yes. And I feel like I have some good.

[Bobby]

She does the Robot every time it gets way out of control. Amy, enough.

[Amy]

I think the AI one will be at the end. Thank goodness. So I'll just feel out.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that'll be your mic drop moment.

[Bobby]

And the company knows because that's the thing. Right. They want our listeners to know that every. It's not AI on the air. So I think it's also like a little bonus to throw in what the company's doing and the company's initiative to guarantee.

[Amy]

Guarantee team in.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Who's asking the questions? You know?

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Greg Ashlock.

[Bobby]

Yep. So I'm rooting for you. It'd be great. You'll do a great job. I don't even need to root for you. I just know you're gonna do a great job.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

Really? Do you always feel like that?

[Bobby]

Like with her now? Yes.

[Eddie]

But like anybody else now.

[Amy]

What does that mean?

[Bobby]

When we first started, I think I would probably spend some time with you going, hey, it's gonna be. Yeah. I just think they're different. I think now she's as prepared for anything. But I don't think some of you would have that opportunity.

[Eddie]

Oh, never.

[Bobby]

No, not never.

[Amy]

But I'm saying, let's say you have a scheduling conflict and I have a scheduling conflict. Then what?

[Lunchbox]

Then it's me.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's jjv. That's freshman team.

[Bobby]

Okay. That's an interesting question. Because if I can't do it and you can't do it, I think they don't do this show.

[Amy]

Really?

[Eddie]

What the.

[Bobby]

They should do something like that with clients. They wouldn't because they're not going to do Lunchbox Ready. They're not gonna do Mike or Ray because they're not forward facing on the show. Enough scoop. Maybe Scuba because he's like the executive producer, but I think they would just find somebody else for something like that. That's serious. Sorry, guys. You asked a question.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah, No, I guess I don't know why you don't.

[Amy]

I mean, but they have the ability to be serious if they need to be.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I can be very serious if they ask that question.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. I would go so far with a. That's funny. You asked me.

[Bobby]

You're gonna do great.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby]

I was. I don't mind saying this for everybody else. I texted Amy. I don't know if my days are getting mixed up. Maybe yesterday something that she had said that I thought was so funny because sometimes we miss things that we say and I'll see it back in a clip. But I just remembered this and I was like, hey, when you said this, I laughed out loud. And then I told Caitlin. I was like, man, like, for the last three months, Amy's been, like, on, like, dialed. And she's like, really? And then. But I had told you, like, a couple weeks ago, I was like, amy, whatever you're doing, like, you're killing it.

[Eddie]

Amy, look at him.

[Bobby]

Well, I told her. I told her. I said, you're carrying me at times. So, yeah, Amy's been, like, a fundamental part of the reason the show's been good over the past, like, six months. And so I believe that you said.

[Eddie]

You said three. Six.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Now we're extending it, I think six.

[Bobby]

I think six. The last year, five years. But I was talking to my wife about that because my wife and Amy are very close. And she was like, yeah, I think Amy's in a great. I think Amy said that she's in a great place now. That's all. I know it makes you.

[Amy]

I don't know what's.

[Bobby]

I know it makes you uncomfortable, but

[Amy]

it's not about me. I've been.

[Bobby]

Yes, you do. You know, it's different. It's not that you're different, but you. You can focus on different things now because you don't have a bunch of bull crap happening in your life. Oh, would you agree with that?

[Amy]

Pretty accurate.

[Danielle Fishel]

Ish.

[Amy]

As she doodles, I still can doodle and pay attention.

[Bobby]

No, that part's still annoying.

[Danielle Fishel]

Don't worry.

[Bobby]

You look over, she's got three pages of nothing but doodles.

[Eddie]

Dude, the doodles are hardcore too.

[Bobby]

Yeah, they're int. Yes, like those monks that spend years doing that sand super inch. And you look over at Amy's done that on her paper.

[Eddie]

I even asked her one time. I was like, what is it you wrote down? Shamrock. What does that mean? She's like, I have no idea. Like what?

[Amy]

Somebody must have said shamrock, and then I wrote it down. And then. Or somebody maybe said lucky, and then I think shamrock. Or I don't know.

[Bobby]

Okay, tell me something good, Amy. You're gonna kill it.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby]

Let's go over to lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, so I got in a car wreck a few months ago and the car was totaled and we've gotten half the payment but they need the title to the vehicle to give us the other payment and we haven't been able to find it. Well, yesterday guys it was found. So now I can mail it to the insurance company and get paid fully.

[Bobby]

That's a relief. When you can't find like documentation you gotta like mail back for it and get it. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Let's just say my organization skills are not the best. And so yeah, it was just buried on a desk. Like lots of organization skills.

[Bobby]

Respectfully, whenever we see videos of your house, it looks like a tornado's hit it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, and that's what it is. Like the desk has just papers just galore on top of it and you just had to search through them all and it was there in a box on top of the desk.

[Bobby]

It feels so good when you find something.

[Lunchbox]

Oh man.

[Eddie]

To be fair though, his house did get hit by a tornado one time.

[Lunchbox]

I did.

[Bobby]

I though have a feeling that has nothing to do with each other. It's just a feeling I have.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, thank you, Eddie.

[Bobby]

Just saying man, to do that Feeling that I have that those two do not actually have any sort of relationship. Eddie.

[Eddie]

So my son, after five years of playing chess with him, he beat me at chess.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Like, it's pretty crazy. Like the fact that he's so good at it and I'm not great at chess. But I mean, he's 11 years old, like, so I assume, like, I'm just going to win all the time. And dude, he straight up beat me and it was like, just something I didn't see. And he was so excited. He's even talking about joining the chess team at school.

[Amy]

That's really.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby]

That may be something I hope he doesn't feel like is uncool because of the other kids because I don't know what that culture is, but that's super cool. Yeah. As an adult, that's awesome.

[Eddie]

Well, I'm encouraging him too, because I'm like, dude, you. You're so good at it. Like, it's. I don't know what. Out of all my four kids, like, he is so good at it. He sees the board differently. So I'm like, yes, dude, this is something you need to pursue.

[Bobby]

I'll tell you why it's cool. It's not so much about the chess, it's about the other people. It's about that community. Because that is for the most part, a well intentioned, educationally curious community. And within that community, it makes. That makes it cool.

[Amy]

What word did you say?

[Bobby]

Educationally curious.

[Eddie]

Oh, like the curious curious about education.

[Amy]

Oh, I thought you said edge and catious.

[Bobby]

Oh, I might have. I might be stupid.

[Eddie]

Is that a real word?

[Amy]

No, you maybe didn't, but my brain heard edge and I was like, I thought it was a new A word to describe, but he's.

[Bobby]

He could be around other kids who also think it's cool to learn.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

And being around that type of environment, that is a very positive environment. I hope that happens. If not, it's still cool. He beat you.

[Eddie]

I got a pretty awesome.

[Bobby]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on. Eddie wouldn't let him join band because he didn't want to be a nerd.

[Eddie]

Different kid.

[Lunchbox]

It doesn't matter.

[Eddie]

No, they're different kids. No, no. You just know what kind of kid they are.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on. But if he can join band, it's nerdy. But you're encouraging a kid to join chess and you don't think that's nerdy.

[Eddie]

I didn't say that band was nerdy. I'm just with my other.

[Bobby]

No, you kind of did, though. You alluded to that.

[Eddie]

What I was saying was that it's too much. And he spent so much time building his basketball skills that why quit on basketball Basketball when you're gonna do band and it's gonna take so much of your time. Chess club. I don't think it's gonna take that much of his time. And he's just really good at it. So I'm like, just go for it.

[Bobby]

Yeah. If there's a natural ability to.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was for the nerd factor. That's what I was worried. You.

[Amy]

I mean, wasn't it a little bit?

[Bobby]

Eddie, I don't like you backing out because I like what you started with.

[Amy]

You're changing your team right now.

[Bobby]

You were. Yeah. You're moving the goalpost a little bit.

[Eddie]

Oh, maybe I'm maturing a little bit. Maybe sports.

[Amy]

It's all about sports realized. Oh, this sounds really bad.

[Eddie]

No, I. I think you guys just took it there.

[Bobby]

Okay. You took it there.

[Amy]

Whatever you need to tell yourself mine.

[Bobby]

It really isn't as strong as you guys is. Arkansas plays in the SEC tournament here this week.

[Amy]

Well, that's a huge deal for you.

[Eddie]

That is a huge deal.

[Bobby]

They play Friday if they win, because we have a double buy, which means we played so good. We got. We're one of the top four teams in the sec. We got a double buy to Friday, and if we win Friday, we play Saturday and then Sunday and in town. Which is awesome because I haven't got to go to any games. I went to a game that was like a scrimmage for charity in Fayetteville. We played Cincinnati early on. Oh, early, early, early. We've been a couple times, but I haven't got to go any basketball games.

[Eddie]

Do we get our tickets already or

[Bobby]

do we get those now? I think they would roll their eyes and go, here's Eddie using Bobby again for free stuff.

[Lunchbox]

100%.

[Bobby]

No.

[Eddie]

We've gone every year.

[Bobby]

We've go every year.

[Eddie]

It's traditional.

[Bobby]

There's not been a year where we haven't gone correct.

[Lunchbox]

Once again, Bobby has to provide. Eddie, take care of him.

[Eddie]

No, because I wouldn't.

[Lunchbox]

Daddy's got to take care of his kid.

[Eddie]

I wouldn't go normally, but that's been our tradition. We go to the basketball game for the SEC tournament, and then we sit

[Bobby]

in the Arkansas section.

[Eddie]

So much fun with all the parents.

[Bobby]

And then the NCAA tournament.

[Amy]

Is it always here?

[Bobby]

The SEC tournament is almost always here, yes. Recently. Yes.

[Eddie]

Dude, I remember. That's when Covid was real, because SEC tournament was about to start. And they came out and they're like, no tournament. We're canceling it because of COVID Yeah.

[Bobby]

That was crazy.

[Eddie]

And I remember me thinking, like, wow, this is serious. They're canceling this tournament.

[Bobby]

I was at lunch with Quangrovi, who used to play football at Arkansas and now is part of the raises money for the Razorback foundation school. And he was like, I don't know. I think they might cancel the game tonight because he was in town for that. No way. Like, this is. That's a. You got a cold, you're gonna cancel a game. And in the military. They just canceled the game?

[Eddie]

Yeah. What? And then it was like a domino effect. Everything was getting canceled after that.

[Bobby]

Yeah. That's crazy. So.

[Eddie]

Well, that's exciting, man.

[Bobby]

It's exciting. I'm really limiting my expectations.

[Amy]

Who are they playing?

[Bobby]

We don't know yet. Because they play the winner of a game of. Yeah, so. And it's also. I'll be a little sportsy nerd some. Sometimes teams won't go as hard in the conference tournament, especially if they have players that are hurt, because they know the NCAA tournament, they've got a seed, automatic. They're kind of in that spot.

[Eddie]

They're going to be.

[Bobby]

But if we can go Elite Eight, that's a win for me this year. So that's what I think we could. If Texas A and M will play the game before us. Amy. If Texas A and M will play the South Carolina, Oklahoma winner, and then we play the winner of that game. So we could play you guys again.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby]

And your favorite player, obviously is

[Amy]

Ryan.

[Bobby]

Ryan, yeah.

[Eddie]

But for the Aggies or Alabama, who again, who's your team?

[Amy]

A and M? It's my college.

[Bobby]

Anybody named Ryan that plays for Alabama or Texas A and M. Got it. Okay. All right. There you go. That's good news. That's what it's all about.

[Bobby (Producer Eddie)]

That was. Tell me something good. Time for the good news with Bobby.

[Bobby]

An off duty police officer saw a car crash and then saw, oh, man, this is severe. Jumps out, saves life. Surveillance shows two cars violently colliding, one vehicle flipping over and catching fire, while the other SUV goes airborne before landing with heavy damage. The officer, Joseph Wetzel, who is currently battling stage three colorectal cancer, heard the crash, chased the sound, saw the scene, broke a window, pulled the trapped driver from the overturned vehicle before other officers arrived. Body camera footage later shows him telling responding officers there's another woman still inside the car. They were able to get in. All the videos now have been shared by the nypd and they're like, dude, he isn't feeling good because he's going through cancer. Heard it, didn't see it, chased it. Risked his own life to get in and save them. That's from CBS News. Wow, that's crazy. I don't like seeing wrecks or hearing them. Oh, I've only seen a couple and not bad ones. It's not. I don't like it. Like, I remember it so vividly. Nobody got hurt in the wreck that I saw. So I'm not even saying I saw something bad. Bad I saw when we were all living in Austin and remember Molotov, the bar? Yeah, yeah. There was a. That part of 6th street and another road just ran a red light, probably going like 30 or 40. And they hit like T boned. It was so metal on metal. I can see and hear it right now. Crazy to see. And everybody was okay. But I can't imagine seeing a bad one like that Big shout out to that police officer. Ever seen a bad wreck?

[Amy]

No, and I've never really been in one except for. No, no, no, no. Remember? No. I'm thinking back to when I was in New Mexico, I think, and we were driving to the airport. My brother in law was driving. We had the kids in the car. I was trying to go to the airport and on the highway a truck with a trailer, like, the trailer like came and like hit us but then it caused the truck to fly off the road and flip. And what was crazy was listeners were like, oh my gosh, I was on that exact highway. Like I saw that. Like whenever I talked about it, they knew the accident. And I. What's weird is it was so scary to me at the time that I'd have to call my brother in law or ask my kids, like, did we, did we pull over? Do we know what happened to that man? Like, I don't remember, like trauma. Well, I don't know that I had trauma. Like, I just.

[Bobby]

There's a version of trauma that you had from that, even if you don't think it was like that.

[Amy]

Yes, because I've never been in that. Like, it was freaky. But thankfully my brother in law kept control of our car. But looking back and watching that car flip, like, surely we found out he was okay. But as I'm remembering it right now, I can't recall. Like, did we pull over? Did we talk to him? Like, I don't even know.

[Bobby]

Which is for the sake of tell me something good. You did and it was great and you helped and you set up a lemonade stand to raise money.

[Amy]

I went over and I pulled him out of the window.

[Bobby]

Well, you have to go that hard, but still. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby]

There you go. That's what it's all about.

[Bobby (Producer Eddie)]

That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.

[Eddie]

There's a mailman in Chicago. They call him the singing mailman because everywhere he goes, he's just singing while he's delivering mail. Well, there was a grandma who was checking her door camera and she sees the singing mailman. She goes, oh my gosh, this is so cute. She sends it to his grand. Her granddaughter. And the granddaughter posted on social media. Everyone's like, this is hilarious. Well, they find out the singing mailman, he has a five hour commute every single day to work. He doesn't have a car. So they're like, let's raise some money for him. They raise enough money to buy the singing mailman a brand new truck.

[Amy]

Five hour round trip.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Because he does public transit.

[Amy]

Okay, so two and a half.

[Bobby]

Otherwise I'd say, hey, get a new route.

[Amy]

Yeah, that makes sense. Two and a half to work and then two and a half home and

[Eddie]

they got him a new truck. That's amazing. All because he's just positive singing while he's delivering mail.

[Amy]

Great story.

[Bobby]

That's a great story. That people. His positivity was so consistent and pure that people noticed that and cared enough to know. Do you tell stories like that because you want us to buy you a car?

[Eddie]

No. Why? What do you mean? How am I like the singing mail?

[Bobby]

Well, you just know. We talk about it. You're like the positive one around here. Always like, do you like hint at us?

[Eddie]

No, I just saw this story. I was like, that'd be a good story to tell.

[Bobby]

Hey, try to take the car back.

[Eddie]

Oh, you got me.

[Bobby]

Yeah, take the car back. That's a good story. Good, good for those people. That is what it's all about.

[Bobby (Producer Eddie)]

That was. Tell me something good.
