[Bobby]

All right, let's do A round of Tell me something sucked today. I bought a box of Luna Bars. And they're good. I like them. There's no dairy in them. How are they Stale?

[Amy]

Oh, we're. We're. Well, did you check the date on them?

[Bobby]

Sound like you're revving a ninja and didn't have gas in it.

[Joe]

Okay.

[Amy]

Because I was thinking, like, well, is every single bar in the box stale or just one?

[Bobby]

At least two.

[Amy]

Because I'm like, sometimes they can be a tiny bit open.

[Bobby]

Now I have explosive diarrhea. Is that at all connected?

[Joe]

Oh, goodness.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Oh, no,

[Amy]

I don't think so.

[Bobby]

Okay.

[Amy]

No, I don't think so. But that. Yeah, the. The. You get the lemon ones, right? Those are good. I've been eating those since, I don't know, gosh, early 2000s.

[Bobby]

I've never had a stale one. I don't know, maybe it's just a numbers game, but. Yeah, I think that's one of the only kinds that don't have dairy. There's another kind that's red. It kind of has a hazelnut chocolate thing. It's not as good, but I have that sometimes. But I like the lemon ones. But.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know why, but maybe if you send them an email, they might.

[Bobby]

I don't care that much. You know what?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Socials, there's a number in the back you can call.

[Bobby]

I'm not gonna at them on Twitter. I'm not.

[Amy]

Maybe this is just my age. Like, I don't know if this just happens at mid-40s, but I get so excited about, like, a good deal like that. Like, even getting a free box or coupon for something. Or when I guess a right code, like, if I'm checking out somewhere, I always type in, like, free ship or welcome 10. And whenever I get it, I get so excited.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

You do.

[Bobby]

Welcome 90. What if you hit that one? That's 90%.

[Amy]

I know they're not. That's not going to be a code.

[Bobby]

It ain't until you try it.

[Amy]

Okay. But I feel like anything after 20, you're wasting your time.

[Bobby]

So that really wasn't my. Tell me something suck. But I was thinking about that this morning.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That's a bonus.

[Bobby]

I hit. It's a bonus suck at two stales in a row. But also, I compliments to that company because they're good and they're. I mean, I'm not going to say they make you healthier, but for me, it's a nice option to have as a bar. Might tell me something suck. So we had Scheduled an interview with Jeffrey Dean Morgan for the Bobby cast. Are you familiar with who that is?

[Amy]

Not off the top of my head.

[Bobby]

I don't think he would be really in. In your algorithm or the shows that you watch. Take a look at them. Unless you watch different shows with him that I don't know.

[Amy]

Well. Walking Dead.

[Bobby]

Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So he was Negan and Walking Dead.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

He's an actor.

[Amy]

Yeah, he had the stick, and then

[Bobby]

he was in the Boys, which was great. Was he in Grey's Anatomy or something like that? For a long time. Was he ever doing shows that I didn't watch? Because he's been famous for a while. Regardless, we had him. He wasn't Grey's Anatomy. How about that? He is best known for playing Negan in the Walking Dead, and.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, he was. Denny.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I didn't watch it, but I'm reading it now.

[Amy]

Yeah, he had a heart issue.

[Bobby]

Oh.

[Amy]

His storyline with Katherine Hagel in Grey's Anatomy was really sad.

[Bobby]

So he was gonna come on. They said, we're like 90% Michael doing a tour, and then he wasn't able to come on. So that's kind of a bummer because Mike and I were both looking forward to that one. But when one door closes, another window is cracked because 15 minutes later, we got a call going, hey, do you want Pat Monahan to come into studio and do an interview?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That's cool.

[Bobby]

Amy. Who's Pat Monahan?

[Amy]

I have to look it up.

[Bobby]

Go for it.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Lots of jams.

[Bobby]

Well, he hasn't shown up yet, though.

[Zach]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Yes, I told you yesterday about it.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, that is right. I forgot. It's just Eddie and. Yeah, we talked about that. Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

[Amy]

So I told Eddie.

[Mangesha]

[Perry Wilson]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

He was like, it's not a problem.

[Amy]

I know.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But I had to just say that I knew.

[Bobby]

Regardless. Tell me something sucked. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, tell me something cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's mine. Amy, what do you have?

[Amy]

Guys, normally it's hard for me to come up with tell me something good every day, but right now, I'm really struggling to figure out something that sucks.

[Bobby]

Nice.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That's a good thing.

[Bobby]

Nice. That's good. So you have nothing that sucks? If so, I. It'd be an excellent thing to have to punt on.

[Amy]

I'm really.

[Bobby]

Something good. You can throw in something good if you had something good.

[Amy]

I mean. Yeah, I have good things.

[Bobby]

Go ahead, give us something good.

[Amy]

I'm really excited for my son this morning because he's at his high school orientation.

[Bobby]

Fun.

[Zach]

Wow.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

First day of high school.

[Mangesha]

That's great.

[Amy]

Well, school doesn't start for a few more weeks, but it's orientation. And he got. There's two different days with two different groups. And by coincidence, thankfully, I signed him up for the one where I'm on a group text with some of the other moms, and the majority of his friends also are in the same group. Thank goodness. Because then one mom was like, shoot. And she's, like, the only one that did tomorrow's orientation. She was like, oh, my gosh, my kid's gonna be like, you know, they're the freshman, like, lost. Like, he's not gonna have his buddies. And so I'm. I'm just thankful that I signed Stevenson up, coincidentally, for the right group to be with all his friends, even though I had no idea.

[Bobby]

What's up with his hair?

[Amy]

Well, he really does not want to cut it, and I don't know why, because he gets frustrated that it gets itchy, and he can't clean it very well, and he's running outside in the heat so much, and I think that he's sweating so much, and then he's not the type of hair he has, it's really hard to get all in there. And it's painful for him sometimes to. Because his curls get so tight. It's painful. And I'm like, there's a solution to this problem. We cut your hair.

[Bobby]

Does he have a good black barber?

[Amy]

Yes. Cuts and blessings, that's where we go.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That's cool.

[Amy]

And he fights me on it every time, trimming it back. And I think that that's the solution to the problem. And he told me the reason why he doesn't want to go shorter is he's like, people will make fun of me for having short hair. Yes. There must have been a haircut at some point in the last couple of years that he. He was made fun of and he hasn't been able to let himself go back. And I'm like, we need to let go of what other people think. You need to take your own comfort and preference into mind. And who is making fun of you for your hair.

[Bobby]

Also, three years ago is a weird time because everybody gets made fun of for everything when you're 12.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

So it probably wasn't even really about a haircut. It's just every 12 year old gets made fun of for something.

[Narrator (Missing Sister Podcast)]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And it's just one of those things, I guess. He can't let it go. He's like, trust Mom. Trust. People are going to make fun of me.

[Bobby]

Let him grow his hair out. Eventually it's going to get to the point where he can't take it anymore.

[Amy]

But yeah, no, we're going to cut it. I was hoping you would be like,

[Bobby]

no, I don't think you make him cut his hair.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby]

He's like, nearing adult.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

My parents made me cut my hair and I hated it. Like, I hated it.

[Bobby]

You should have hair autonomy.

[Amy]

He also wants to cut his hair.

[Bobby]

Okay, well, let him make that decision on when and how.

[Amy]

But I thought you would be like, hey, buddy. Like, I could. You could record something like, hey, dude. Like, don't. If kids make fun of you, like, it's okay.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

You feel like you're like kind of his dad sometimes.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Like, Amy's trying to make you the dad.

[Amy]

Like, hey, you were made fun of a lot as a kid.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Okay.

[Bobby]

Oh, that's why. Got it. Got it. I relate. Got it.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

I think that if you're, I don't know, 14 and a half up, you get hair autonomy.

[Amy]

Not total. Because he can't, like, get up, like,

[Bobby]

fairy can't diet pink and go mohawk.

[Amy]

The school doesn't allow certain Things. Because it can be distracting.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Well, that's different.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Let him. Let him do his hair his own way. It'll bother him so much, he'll end up wanting to cut it. And then he won't be resentful at you for making him cut his hair.

[Amy]

Well, definitely. I don't want him to be resentful. Obviously, we've gone this many years. I mean, every time he's had a haircut, I've tried to go shorter. I just. I thought the whole. This is the first time he's really said, look, mama, I'm gonna get made fun of. And then I thought, oh, well, Bobby will have some good advice.

[Bobby]

Yeah. My advice is to you give him hairtonomy.

[Amy]

You actually are cool to him. I don't know why you wouldn't think that. And then you're not a parent. So Ben and I being the parents, sometimes we need, like, the uncle type figures to step in and, like, say the cool thing.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but I don't. This is not like, a cameo where you can tell me what to say. I would say you have hair autonomy. Don't let your mom convince you to cut your hair if you don't want

[Unidentified Male Guest]

to show them that.

[Amy]

You would say something about kids.

[Zach]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

You thought kids that make fun of

[Sheryl Swoopes]

you, like, they have.

[Bobby]

That's a whole security. That's a whole separate thing. But they were 12. Everybody makes fun of everybody at 12. It sucks. That's a terrible age.

[Amy]

Well, then I said, well, who? You give me their name.

[Narrator (Missing Sister Podcast)]

No.

[Bobby]

No. Gosh, no.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby]

From three years ago. Amy's going to take care of business. I want to grab a couple calls. Let's go to Zach in Augusta, Georgia. Line one, Raymundo, please. Hey, Zach.

[Zach]

Hello?

[Bobby]

Hey, it's Bobby. What's going on, dude?

[Zach]

Hey, what's up, Bobby? Morning, studio. Morning. That's awesome. I can't believe that just happened.

[Bobby]

Well, what do you want to talk about?

[Zach]

Well, I was calling because my wife sent me a text message asking about dinner, and we just had the conversation about eating healthy, and she mentioned wanting to do field greens, like, out of the box. And I'm like, I'm pretty sure I've been listening to the show, and they say, don't do that.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Well,

[Bobby]

what's the. What we've done at our house is we've pretty much said we're not going to eat any lettuce at all. I did last night go back to cucumber. I felt comfortable enough to go back to cucumber. And I feel okay. I don't know that I'm. I'm opening at least for the next couple weeks. Any bags of prepared salad. And you know what? It's probably safe. You're. You're also playing the odds. Even if there was diarrhea in a bag, what are the odds you get it? Not much. Yeah, even then, you're probably not gonna get that. But I don't think I would risk any sort of salad in a bag or box right now. And they did come out and say, I saw RFK say, no, we're all healthy, but I don't believe anything anybody says. So just generally speaking, I ain't believe in any politician whenever it comes to when there's money involved. So I would stick. Right now, for me and us, we're sticking our nose in a different direction than the salad. We're going vegetables. We're doing. I did tomatoes and I did cucumber last night.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah, and cucumber is good because it has a skin on it, you know, so they're saying stuff with, like, skin peels, things like that are all good.

[Bobby]

Well, the thing that I do, I take the full thing with the skin and I stick it all the way in my mouth.

[Amy]

Cucumber, you eat the skin, right?

[Bobby]

Yeah, but first I just. I, like, put it in my mouth and lick it all around it just to make sure, and then spit that out.

[Amy]

Because I think when they're saying skin, they mean like avocado because you don't

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

eat the skin, but, like the cucumber. Just peel the skin.

[Bobby]

Oh, I would not. I would never do that.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

No, never.

[Bobby]

I lick it.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

And then what? And then you.

[Bobby]

And then I take it and cut it.

[Amy]

Okay, you know what?

[Bobby]

I have an experience with it first.

[Zach]

Right.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Right.

[Mangesha]

I'm Mangesha together, and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time, I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement. To try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us, I learned about some rad science.

[Unidentified Female Guest 2]

I can make a brain for you. And then we can test what draw is the best for your brain as opposed to his brain.

[Mangesha]

Here are some hard truths.

[Bobby]

I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five year

[Mangesha]

acceleration and get myself into a world of trouble.

[Bobby]

I'd say probably start bone smashing.

[Mangesha]

That doesn't work.

[Essie Cupp]

To make it look more defined, they say it Works.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Mangesha]

Listen to Skyline Drive, how to live Forever on the iHeartRadio app, or Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Gary Valenciano]

We've all been there. We've had seasons that have shaken everything. The question is, what remains when the shaking stops? Hi, I'm Gary Valenciano, and on my podcast Unshaken with Gary Vee, I sit down with amazing personalities and we talk about the seasons that nearly broke them, the lows that carried them to their highs. Listen to Unshaken with Gary Vee on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Emily Oster]

I'm Emily Oster. I'm an economist and data expert.

[Perry Wilson]

And I'm Perry Wilson.

[Bobby]

I'm a medical doctor.

[Emily Oster]

And this is our new podcast, Wellness

[Perry Wilson]

actually, because you're getting a staggering amount of health and wellness information nowadays, and

[Emily Oster]

some of it is awesome and some of it is, well, actually, bull. Fortunately, we're both people who know how to read studies, parse data, and can tell you what's worth trying out and what you can safely ignore.

[Perry Wilson]

Each episode, we tackle the health news of the week and then take a deeper dive into a misunderstood health and wellness topic, like what's the deal with peptides? What's the deal with GLP1s?

[Emily Oster]

What's the deal with creatine?

[Perry Wilson]

What's the deal with cupping?

[Emily Oster]

What's the deal with sleep?

[Perry Wilson]

So join us for a weekly dose of sanity. Might actually be just what the doctor

[Emily Oster]

or the economist ordered.

[Perry Wilson]

Listen to wellness, actually, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Paul Verze]

Hey, guys, Paul Verze here, and I want to talk to you about Paul's best podcast, Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network, and iHeartRadio. I sit down each week with a special guest and we discuss. Discuss the absolute best of things. Pete Davidson.

[Bobby]

It's that and then there's everything else.

[Paul Verze]

He would just shout one line and it would murder.

[Bobby]

Marie.

[Joe]

Lunch.

[Paul Verze]

Let's talk about the best moments that we had on the road. I would love a cocktail.

[Joe]

Dude, Joe could get last row, middle seat on a Southwest Airlines flight. Joe, how was your flight? It was great. The guy on Penn State, we were on the field and the player thought Joe was his former coach, and he hugged him and hugged him, and Joe just went with it. The guy goes, what are you doing here, coach? And Joe just go.

[Unidentified Female Guest]

And you walk in and it is bananas. I mean, it's a feast for the eyes. And I was like, it's like, it's not my thing either, but we're here.

[Paul Verze]

When in Rome, top athletes, chefs, musicians, everybody listen to Paul's best podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Amy]

You know what I did the other day to get some greens? Since I haven't been eating lettuce, I got frozen broccoli from the grocery store, and I'm like, why haven't I been buying frozen broccoli forever? Like, I always get the fresh broccoli, and then I have to clean it, and then I get annoyed, and then it goes bad, and we never eat it. Frozen broccoli, it's already washed, cleaned, diced, cut.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And it's frozen at. It's frozen at peak broccoli level. So all the nutrients.

[Bobby]

I didn't know about that. Peak, peak, peak broccoli level.

[Joe]

9.

[Amy]

Well, because the longer a vegetable is in your fridge, like, the. The peakness goes down. So of the nutrition. Nutrition in there and the nutrients, so. And Google how to do it, because there's a method to cooking frozen broccoli in the oven to make it just right. And I. I was like, I'm impressed. I might. I might never go back.

[Bobby]

I think the only reason that people don't do frozen is because there are certain areas of the Internet that tell you if it's frozen, it ends up losing a lot of its nutrition. There are, again, certain parts of the Internet that will tell you that a smoothie isn't really that good for you, because once the fruit is frozen, it loses, you know, 60 to 70% of its nutrition.

[Amy]

Wow. I thought that it was locking it in at peak freshness.

[Bobby]

Definitely, Definitely could be, but. And I'm not claiming to know or be an expert, but I have read those. I still like a smoothie, and I still do frozen vegetables, but there are certain people that say if it's frozen, that it's losing some of its nutritional value.

[Amy]

Golly, it's so exhausting what all these people have to say.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Oh, I know. Who do you listen to?

[Amy]

I.

[Bobby]

Nobody.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Just. Do you.

[Amy]

I saw the other day my own way. If you want to eat a sweet potato and it not spike your blood sugar or whatever, you need to bake it and then let it cool, Put it in the fridge, let it cool, cool, cool, cool. And then if you reheat it, it has a. It's the. The composition of it is different. Like, the chemistry changes, and it won't spike your blood sugar.

[Bobby]

You just cooked it froze it, cooked it.

[Joe]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Who has that much time called the Pendulum potato?

[Amy]

Well, I found this Count account and all she does is talk about sweet potatoes and it must be working for her. And she was telling you the difference in how you eat your sweet potatoes. Potatoes, and that was one of the ones. If you have to watch your blood sugar.

[Bobby]

Zach, what I would say to you if you were my friend here sitting next to me, I would say I'd avoid any sort of bag salad for right now. Although I do think it's probably safe because again, just a numbers game, even full outbreak, you're probably still not going to get it. But I'd avoid any bag salad and I would substitute different vegetables for now.

[Zach]

Okay, awesome. Well, I grow my own cucumbers, so that'll be easy.

[Bobby]

Do you have the virus out in your garden? Have you checked it?

[Zach]

No, no, I think the cucumbers are good. I was more worried about the 50, 50 spinach lettuce kale mix.

[Bobby]

I'd punt. I'd punt on that for now. Two weeks hot back in.

[Zach]

All right, sounds good. I appreciate you.

[Bobby]

All right, buddy, hope you have a good day.

[Zach]

You too, man. Thanks.

[Bobby]

Alright, see you. Hey, let's go to Jim in Texas, who is over on line nine. Hey, Jim.

[Zach]

Hey, how are you?

[Jim]

How are you?

[Bobby]

What's up, buddy?

[Jim]

Good morning, studio.

[Zach]

Morning.

[Jim]

Hey, I have a little story about Garth Brooks. About 2006. I'm a semi truck driver in sunny Southern California and I took a road to Phoenix and Garth Brooks was trying out for the San Diego Padres, believe it or not, and he was playing third base and he hurt his shoulder throwing over the first. So they set him off to the side and I just happened to go over there and start talking to him. And him and I started. We were talking for about 15 minutes. I had two baseballs for my two sons and he signed them and that was the it for that day. And then the next week I had another load to Phoenix and I went over there and I got a picture from the radio station there in Phoenix. He was on the COVID and he was still there. So I, I dropped my trailer off to get it loaded and I took my truck over to the park and after the practice and everything, we all stood in line to get our pictures signed. And I was a young man at the time. My wife and I had two sons and I already got them signed. So I wanted to get this picture signed for my wife. And he only signed pictures for the young kids and the old people. So I never got My picture signed. So on the way home I signed at Garf Brooks and I gave it to my wife.

[Bobby]

That's funny.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That is funny.

[Bobby]

And no one knows he did sign the balls for the kids. But Garth has a thing too where he doesn't want to sign anything that someone's going to take and flip and sell again. So he'll, he has to, he personalizes everything for that reason. Anytime he's ever, like he played the first time on our show and he gave me the guitar that he was playing and obviously he wrote my name on it. But then I would talk to people and go, yeah, he writes names on it so people don't flip it, like sign it. And, and mostly if like a 31 year old man's, hey Garth, we signed this like randomly. It's those guys who are searching for the signatures so they can then sell them on ebay or whatever.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

I've seen people on Tick Tock where they go up to celebrities on the street with like 50 pictures. Obviously they're selling those.

[Bobby]

Appreciate that, Jim. Thanks man. I hope you have a great rest of the day.

[Jim]

My son still have the baseballs and my wife still has the picture.

[Bobby]

Does she know?

[Jim]

She, she knows now.

[Bobby]

All right, have a great day, man. Thank you for calling.

[Jim]

Bye bye.

[Bobby]

Tell me something, suck or good Eddie? You can pick.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

I have a suck. So like I go to this grocery store that has a reward system and when you scan, when you buy groceries, you scan it and then it gives you gas points, right? Which I love because gas is so expensive, but it gives it to you by month. So like say what are we looking at? August? It gives you 30, 30 cents off of gas through August. And what happens with me is I never go when I'm really empty. So I can either get a 3 cent discount always or a one time 30 cent discount. You follow me?

[Bobby]

I might.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Okay, so what happens is if I'm really empty, I'll be like, oh, I'm gonna do that 30 discount. Cause it's gonna be worth more, right? Better savings. So I went yesterday because I was completely empty. I'm like, I'm gonna use that discount that I saw up there. And I get there expired because I waited. So like now I know I can't wait. And I'm having this trouble of when do I use the 30 cent discount versus the 3 cent discount.

[Bobby]

I understand macro, yeah, but the 30 and the 3, is that per gallon?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, 30 cents a gallon right now. Which is a great discount. But I'm like, I Don't want to just use that when I'm, you know, just trying to.

[Bobby]

You can use 3 all the time or 30 once.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Correct. Like, but I didn't realize that I can lose it. And I was so mad yesterday when I'm like, oh, I want to use that 30 cent discount I get there. Expired.

[Bobby]

Well, you learned a lesson.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah, I guess.

[Bobby]

I don't like to use stuff either. I mean, I used all my credit card Southwest points to get Scuba and Ray out to Vegas. Otherwise I just sit on them and go, oh, I may need these at some point. But, like, my credit card points, I don't know. I could buy this building, I think.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Is that, like, where you buy. There's certain things on a catalog that you can buy or like a list of things that you can buy with those points?

[Bobby]

Sort of. Yes, there is a list, but there's also. You can just get like, gift cards, American Express gift cards, money. Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That's cool.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Yeah, that's the way to go.

[Bobby]

I have millions and millions of points because I've never once cashed millions.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Wow.

[Bobby]

I know.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

That's so cool.

[Bobby]

It's insane.

[Amy]

I, like, get points and I'm like, what am I gonna.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

How do I use them now?

[Bobby]

I just never use them. I've never used them on this card.

[Amy]

I have one that's attached to my Amazon and it'll be like, because I spend them so fast, they convert into money. So it'll be like, if I'm checking out on Amazon and I'm buying like, Q tips or something, they'll be like, you have $3.11 to use with your points. I'm like, yep, yeah, I got that. And then my Q tips end up being $2, and I feel awesome. But sometimes it piles up.

[Bobby]

That's a better way to do it, though.

[Amy]

Well, but sometimes I. I pile it up and it. I've got like 200 worth to use when I'm shopping on Amazon and it's like, it's free. It. I mean, when I check out, I'm like, oh, free. But other times I just use it so fast like that. Like the $3.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

We have pizza for different pizza places. Like, so when we eat on Fridays, it's like, all right, what. What more. Which pizza place do we have more reward stuff on? That's what we're eating that Friday.

[Bobby]

I'm just trying to see how many points I have, but I logged in through, like, a weird site.

[Gary Valenciano]

Great.

[Bobby]

Now all my points are gone because I got hacked. I have a 6,234,124 points.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

It's crazy.

[Narrator (Missing Sister Podcast)]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

And can you calculate that to money?

[Bobby]

It's a lot. Dude,

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

that's amazing.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

I don't even know how you get points. That's pretty cool. What do you mean I don't get points on mine?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Your credit cards?

[Zach]

No.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Like, miles.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

I don't get miles.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

I'm shocked.

[Bobby]

You're just using a wrong type of card then.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

That's what I'm saying. Like, when you guys are saying you're getting points, I'm like, I don't know what you mean by points. Like, you get points.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Dude, this. This is so right up your alley. Like, you need to get on this. You would love it.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Yeah, but don't they charge you a fee per year?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

No.

[Zach]

No.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Oh, American Express does, but no, I have.

[Bobby]

That's American Express for me. There's no fee. They just want you to use their card.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Oh.

[Bobby]

That's why they offer you the points. The more you use their card, the more points you get, the more you use their car. Let's say you don't pay off your balance every month. You're paying interest. They're weighing that versus the points they're giving type thing. Yeah, it's crazy, you know, you don't use points at all.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Yeah. There is a guy, like, on Twitter, he's called the points guy. If you. I watch him and he has all these tips, and I'm just like, it's too overwhelming. I'm like, all right, I can't do it.

[Amy]

It does get overwhelming. But then you're like, what am I missing out on?

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Yeah. Because he's like, oh, you can do this, get this, get that. And I'm like, what? Oh. And then I'm like, it's over my head.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Mine does not have a fee.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Your amex?

[Bobby]

Yeah, some.

[Amy]

Do you have the platinum one?

[Bobby]

I don't know. I don't know. Color.

[Amy]

What color is it?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Hey, do you have the black?

[Amy]

Show me.

[Bobby]

I'm not showing you my. My card. Wait, I get hacked.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Show me the number.

[Bobby]

No.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Say the number.

[Bobby]

Tell me something good or suck. Lunchbox Man.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

It's going to feel like I'm copying you, but I, I, I eat like a little squirrel. And there's this granola that I buy at. Down at the store below us. And I got some after work yesterday, and I usually eat it in the mornings. And we all go to the bathroom, we run to the bathroom, and I ripped it open this morning, and I'm walking in the Bathroom. And I threw that first little ah handful in my mouth. Stale's crap. Like just soggy and just gross. And I'm just like great.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

But you could easily walk down there and just get a new one.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

No, no, I'm going to.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

Maybe it's not granola season. We ever think about that?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

For both of us, that's a real thing.

[Bobby]

We're not a season.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

I didn't realize that like certain things have seasons. So like people are. Do not buy strawberries in February.

[Bobby]

Well, you don't understand fruit.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Wait, strawberry has a season?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

I thought it was just watermelon.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

No, everything like peaches. Yeah.

[Bobby]

Fruit generally.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

I didn't realize that. I just thought it was a year round thing. You grow it.

[Bobby]

I'm sorry to hear about your granola.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Yeah. So it's very frustrating. So luckily we got some extra breakfast out here or else I'll just be starving over here.

[Bobby]

Right. There you have it. That's. Tell me something. Suck. And then Amy was good. All right, there you go. It's time for the good news with Bobby. We'll talk about how important it is to donate blood and that everybody should do it, that kind of thing. But rarely do we talk about animals donating blood. There was a rescue pit bull in Arizona who helped save the life of a pug by donating its blood. Roland is a seven year old pit bull and so vets determined that the other dog needed blood badly. So they take the other. I didn't know animals could donate blood.

[Amy]

I know, I have never thought of this, but obviously it happens.

[Bobby]

But do you have.

[Amy]

But they have to master.

[Bobby]

Can you take donkey blood and put it in a dog?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Good question.

[Zach]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Because you probably can't with a human. It worked though. So this shelter pit bull gave blood. This pug is now bouncing back from being underweight, anemic, dehydrated, unresponsive, and it works. So I just don't know if you can take blood from any dog and give it to another. But probably dog to dog. Probably not. Cat to dog.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Or pig to dog.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Probably not. And, and also too, if the dog that donates the blood, is that automatically a generous dog even though the dog had no really no choice?

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean it doesn't know.

[Bobby]

Do you have to get consent?

[Mangesha]

Right?

[Bobby]

Is that what you're asking?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

Dogs can go straight to other dogs. But I guess it's like humans can go to humans.

[Amy]

But does it have to be matched like a O positive?

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Do they have that?

[Bobby]

No, there are 12 types of dog blood? I don't know. I'm not. It doesn't matter. This is not about science. It's about good news. There you go. That is a story. And both dogs are doing well. That is what it's all about. It's time for the good news with lunchbox.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

Marisa Mojica is enjoying a day at the park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Just laying there, having a good old time, when some lady comes running out of the water with her daughter. She's not breathing. She's not breathing. Someone help. And Marisa's like, well, I'm CPR certified. Jumps up, goes little girl, and boom, boom, boom, boom for two minutes doing the resuscitation, and boom. Girl starts breathing again. Before emergency medical people arrived, I'm certified.

[Bobby]

I have a card. I'd look around first, see if anybody else is, like, a real nurse or doctor first.

[Amy]

Do you carry it?

[Mangesha]

Nah.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Unidentified Male Guest 2]

Oh, you should. That should be in your wallet.

[Amy]

That's like a.

[Unidentified Male Guest]

That's like a.

[Bobby]

My wallet's so full of crap. I don't feel like I need to show up before I give anyone cpr. Like, are you trained? Yeah. Here's my card. I feel like if there's one thing I don't need to show, it's that one. But, yeah, I think I would look around first. Is anyone certified? Yes. Is there any doctor nurse here that wants to go first? That's a great story. Good one. That's what it's all about.

[Joe]

That was.

[Bobby]

Tell me something good.

[Sheryl Swoopes]

This is an I heart podcast.

[Bobby]

Guaranteed human.
