[Lunchbox]

Here we go.

[Amy]

Come on, Bobby. Hey. Welcome to Tuesday's show morning Studio. Morning scam alert. Number one, TechSperts, which is a tech expert, by the way. They're warning Netflix subscribers about a very large cyber scam in which criminals hijack important financial information. They send messages. It comes as a text and it says, netflix, there's an issue processing your payment. And then they send a link. So Netflix is not going to text you and say there's an issue processing. So everybody, scam alert. Netflix is not going to text you and say there's an issue processing your payment or say, failed payment. We all in? Yeah. I mean, you didn't react in a way that I expected. Did you fall for this one?

[Morgan]

No.

[Amy]

But you're also answering it. Weird.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Because, well, I maybe receive something a little bit similar, but yeah, you're right. Nobody's gonna text me.

[Amy]

Like, I don't know what just happened here because something happened to you and.

[Morgan]

You'Re not sharing because it's just reminding me that I have a new number. Ish. And there's no way. I have certain accounts that I registered years ago that would have my new number.

[Scuba Steve]

They just wouldn't.

[Amy]

You're battling something right now in your head.

[Morgan]

I'm battling that now. I'm not gonna just. I'm just not clicking on anything that comes to my new number. No.

[Amy]

Okay. That was weird, right, guys?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Very weird reaction. We think she has. She'll tell us in a month. That's how it usually works. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, no.

[Amy]

All right, next up, scandal. FBI warns shoppers to be wary of holiday scams. They say always be wary of deals that seem too good to be true. Especially like, well, we're down with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but like Willie Wednesday. Oh, Tabitha Thursday, Freaky Friday. It's all deals now.

[Morgan]

A lot of places are doing sale extended, but they're not. It's the scammers.

[Amy]

Suspicious links. Don't click on attachments and emails. Morgan, you went and reviewed his site, right? Like on Instagram. Was there something you wanted? And then you went to the website. Like, you had to, like, go and search the. When people put up the reviews.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I.

[Bobby Bones]

Or I was going to order a.

[Amy]

Bunch of clothes from this thing that.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw on Instagram.

[Morgan]

You know when you get those ads and you're like, oh, I want to buy them.

[Amy]

Yeah, please hack into my information more and tell me what I want, because I love it. Go ahead. Yeah, so I saw a bunch of clothes I liked, and I had put a bunch of things in my cart.

[Morgan]

And I was like, let me just go check this out, make sure this is a legit site.

[Amy]

Thank goodness I did, because it was not a real site.

[Morgan]

People haven't gotten any of their clothes that they've ordered from there. And I almost just put in, like, a huge order. But then how would Instagram let them do ads?

[Amy]

I don't know. I'm talking Instagram.

[Scuba Steve]

That's a great question, Amy.

[Amy]

I agree. But I think the note here is. Here's my note. Look at the reviews. When you buy from a place you haven't bought for from, because you will see other people going, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. Or it was awesome. Like, that's where the reviews do come in handy. So no links. If you buy an Instagram, go check the reviews. And one more. I got this from X, which is Twitter, and I got this, and it said, we found your account. Make a tim spam or be engaged in other types of platform manipulation. And I'm reading this, I'm like, well, possibly, but then I click where the from? Because it says from X, but I click it. Then it's like JLP at con, blah, blah, blah, blah dot com. So it's not for us. Click the from to see what it is. And if it's not specifically from that, you know, it's not that. All right, scam alert. Thank you. Scam alert. We're trying to help you out here. By the way, if you get scammed and it does Happen to Amy, LifeLock. Not just Amy, but just most.

[Morgan]

No, but I do have lifelock paying customer here.

My husband loves to scroll on his phone while laying in bed before he goes to sleep, and it keeps me from getting to sleep sometimes. I've asked him to stop, if not for his own benefit, at least for mine, but he swears that it helps him unwind. Should I push him to quit this bad habit or just let him do what he's going to do and deal with it? Signed Restless in Oklahoma City. This is exactly my life.

[Morgan]

I thought, is this your wife?

[Amy]

She would never write into the show.

[Morgan]

But she's from Oklahoma. That is true, too, but not Oklahoma City, not Tulsa.

[Amy]

We have. We've put in measures to make us both a bit happier. So I love, and I use the exact words. This is how I wind down as I get on my phone and I watch, like, 90s wrestling videos, and I watch, like, 90s alternative music videos and some, like, 2,000. I just. I have the things that I do that help me, like, take my mind off the day. And it happens to be like, I've said this before. They're like the three greatest discoveries, I think penicillin, the iPhone, and then TikTok of, like, the last, you know, 200 years. And so I enjoy it. It helps me relax. It takes my mind off of everything else, but it's also like a shining beacon of light in the bed. And my wife has taken a picture from beside me once, when I didn't know it, to show the huge glow when it's dark in the room and I'm on my phone scrolling away. So I can understand everybody's issue here. So here's what I've done. One, first thing I do, per her request, I go down, and I do the flop down, and I take the brightness. I take it almost all the way down. So that takes off, like, 70% of the brightness. So it doesn't eliminate the problem, but it helps a little bit. Two, I put in AirPods, so you can't hear anything, right? It's not even, like, it's very low. I put an AirPod. You can hear nothing. She can hear nothing. Three, I build a fort underneath the blanket, and I do my phone underneath the fort. Now, the hard part is sometimes the fort hangs over the phone blanket. So you have to, like, develop. I built, like, pillows. I put. I Put three pillows on my thighs and the pillows actually hold up the blanket and put the phone up against the pillows underneath the fort blanket. Therefore, the light doesn't really come out. That has helped us like, 85%. My wife also said, why can't you wind down on your phone outside the room and then come in? Because I need to wind down in the bed, the place I'm going to sleep.

[Morgan]

That's because you've created that as part of your routine. What if you find a new routine?

[Amy]

I had a new routine. I was watching television all night long and falling asleep with the TV on.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's right. Yeah.

[Amy]

No, I've actually modified my bad habits to only this bad habit, and I should be rewarded and celebrated for it. And I'm often not. What I would say is encourage a wind down by this time. So. Hey, yeah. But I. But use my practical approach is to build a fort. I build a fort with three pillows on my thighs.

[Lunchbox]

Like you're.

[Amy]

Hold it under. I put the phone underneath the blanket and put the blanket over my head and watch it underneath.

[Morgan]

And so. And while that's happening, your wife's already falling asleep. Okay, so then when you get rid of the fort and everything you had to do to create your little phone. I know, but then, like, then you cut. What if she wanted to fall asleep, like, cuddling?

[Amy]

Trust me, we've married long enough. That ain't the case. Oh, and she wanted to cuddle. We do that before I went and got on the old phone. You know what I mean?

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah. So that's what's up. So good luck with that because I completely relate. And you both can. You both cannot lose. Neither of you are going to win, but you both cannot lose. And I suggest going back to being seven and building a fort in your own bedroom. Here's Caitlin in East Tennessee.

[Mike D]

Hey, Bobby Bones show. I listen to your all show every single morning. It is a routine of mine. I'm a full time employee, full time student, and everything is just so overwhelming. And listening to your all show, it's normalcy for me. So thank you all for what you do and for putting a smile so many people's faces. Thank you.

[Amy]

We're glad we could be a part of, like, your day because I definitely have things and shows I listen to that are part of my days. And if that's off, then I'm off. And if somebody doesn't upload a podcast on a certain day when I'm used to it, it just throws everything off. So thank you. For allowing us to be your friends in that way. Because we feel like hopefully we are. Gimme Joy. North Carolina, Bobby Bones.

[Mike D]

Just calling with Amorny Corny for Amy. So what did Tennessee? Nothing. The same thing.

[Lunchbox]

Arkansas.

[Mike D]

I read that and thought it was.

[Morgan]

So funny and thought easy, guys.

[Mike D]

So hope you enjoy. Love the show.

[Amy]

What did Tennessee? Nothing. What did. Same thing as Arkansas. It's too. Yeah, it's too elevated for you, dude.

[Lunchbox]

It's way too small.

[Morgan]

That's good.

[Amy]

Like Dennis Miller stuff, man. Give me number seven. Leah from Pennsylvania just wanted to thank.

[Mike D]

You for doing new content on Thursday and Friday and also including the St. Jude interview with Fisher.

[Amy]

I actually listened and I don't usually get to hear the radio song.

[Mike D]

This is the first year that we.

[Morgan]

Actually decided to become a partner in Hope.

[Mike D]

Also.

[Amy]

His story just really touched me and.

[Mike D]

I'm now a mom and just thinking about what his mom was going through and the story that she told, it.

[Amy]

Really just hit me in a way.

[Mike D]

And I'm just appreciative for everything that you do for the kids and for the listeners.

[Amy]

I just wanted to say thanks and thank you. Everything you just said to us, we mean that back to you like times 100. Because we could get on here and say all the stuff, but if you guys didn't actually just be that, we wouldn't have that. So appreciate all the B team for jumping in and doing it. It was so great. It's such a great year to raise as much money as we did. We actually have set a new record this year, which is very difficult to do as everything just fractionally becomes less and less because there's just more things. So thank you, Leah. We appreciate that. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

[Morgan]

Zebra striping. Ever heard of it?

[Amy]

Nope.

[Morgan]

It's something that you do when you're drinking and it's a new term, but it's an old idea that could help keep you a little more sober. At all the holiday parties, it's when you alternate between alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. You cannot have two alcohol drinks in a row. Like you have to alternate and it help. Keeps you good.

[Amy]

Oh, keeps you good?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it keeps you good.

[Amy]

What if you have like alcoholic drink? Then you have like a little tiny. Nope. Stripe.

[Morgan]

Well, then you're not zebra striping if you want to adopt this. So people swear by it.

[Amy]

Scoop. Steve, Holiday parties for us. Is the company doing one?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we have two holiday parties. We have one local one in for Nashville, I think. Believe it's tomorrow and then next week we have a premiere one on Tuesday.

[Amy]

Wait, wait, wait. Tomorrow?

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Amy]

We learned about it right now that it's tomorrow.

[Lunchbox]

You only sent an email, like, two weeks ago.

[Amy]

You guys get it?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I got it.

[Amy]

What time of day is it?

[Lunchbox]

It's six to nine. @ Jon Bon Jovi's house? No, it's bar and restaurant. And then the other one's at Rick's house. Yeah, next week.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, boy.

[Amy]

That's a real one, though. The Bon Jovi one seems like a real one, that they're actually doing an evening one. Sometimes they'll be like, holiday party, 2:00pm we're like, we're not coming back to work for that. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. I guess I'll find out more about it after the show.

[Lunchbox]

I'll let you know.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'll probably do a little zebra striving. What you got?

[Morgan]

I have the most popular Wikipedia pages of the year. So everybody was searching this. And by everybody, I mean, like, 40 million people.

[Amy]

Wicked.

[Morgan]

No, not in the top five. In the top five, you have political things like Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and the United States presidential election. Okay. Then the other one in the top five, Lyle and Eric Menendez.

[Amy]

I wonder if they get freed.

[Morgan]

I wonder, too.

[Amy]

You know, we were kids when all that happened, so we kind of didn't know the minutia. However, nobody really did because there wasn't social Media. There wasn't 10,000 networks and streaming services. Yeah.

[Morgan]

But I mean, it was a pretty big televised thing. But then what happened for them later was then O.J. simpson, and it sort of like, shattered over.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they were getting a lot of attention. And the number one thing that people have been searching on Wikipedia, like, 44 million people, just straight up deaths.

[Amy]

Do you know there was celebrity deaths.

[Morgan]

A Wikipedia deaths page. It's called deaths in 2024.

[Amy]

Okay. I'm. I would be. Mostly it's like, Bob Barker.

[Lunchbox]

Sure.

[Amy]

But did he die?

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy]

See, that's why I would use it, because we're constantly like, I know Betty White died. Jimmy Carter, not dead, but holy man. I've never seen a more alive person. That doesn't look alive. Have you seen him?

[Lunchbox]

He's still alive.

[Morgan]

He's still alive. Remember, he voted.

[Amy]

Yeah. Did Bob Barker die last year?

[Morgan]

See, I think, to your point, Bobby.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think maybe that's why sometimes people are like, wait a second, is this person dead?

[Amy]

Dick Van Dyke. Still alive.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Amy]

Nine years old, I believe.

[Scuba Steve]

Whoa.

[Amy]

Just had a party. I think he's married to 98. Maybe he's about to be about to have a birthday be 99.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Amy]

Dang. That's crazy.

[Morgan]

Okay, so top five were presidential stuff. Took up three slots and the Menendez brothers. And then deaths.

[Amy]

Dude, the death page is pretty interesting. Is it like if you scroll down, like December 8th, Jack Hennessy. December 7th. And it has everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Amy]

Daryl McGraw. Who's Tim Dunkle? I don't know. Anyway, go ahead.

[Morgan]

I Heart Radio put out their top country artists of 2024. Like, these are the most played in the top five. Nate Smith, Sam Hunt, Jelly Roll, Luke Combs. And the number one spot, Morgan Wallen.

[Amy]

Of course. Good job.

[Morgan]

I'm Amy. That's my pile.

[Amy]

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Morgan]

So back in 1947, Laura Jean Emery won Miss California. Okay, fast forward. She's in an assisted living place right now celebrating her 96th birthday. And the staff there found out that she lost her Miss California sash years back.

[Amy]

That sucks.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So especially if it's like your thing, you'll be at lunchbox losing his prom king crown because he lives by that thing. Go ahead.

[Morgan]

Special shout out to Ruth D. Silva because she reached out to Miss California organizers and was able to get a replacement sash and surprised Laura Jean with it on her 96th birthday.

[Amy]

I like that that someone cared enough about something that could seem trivial but wasn't to the person it deeply affected. You know, it reminds me of what then? This is going back in time. And Amy would tell the story of there are all these starfish washed up on the beach and this kid would walk around and throw one in the ocean, but there are thousands of them. He'd throw one in the ocean and someone said, hey, you're not be able to save all these starfish. And he was like, no, but I can save that one and that one and that one, one at a time.

[Morgan]

It's called the starfish story.

[Amy]

That's beautiful. Thank you. I didn't make it up. Amy to make it up. But she's the one that kind of brought it to my attention. But it's like that person starfished her. Like, like who? Like, honestly, in general life, you'd be like, who cares? However, this. This one starfish was saved. That's a good one. You know why I saw that thing that we had framed the other day reminded me of.

[Morgan]

That's what we did after we broke the Guinness world record for 30 ABES bench press. It's the gift we gave out yeah.

[Amy]

Now we actually packed more food. More meals? Yeah, it was our. Our record.

[Morgan]

We broke the. The record for the most hunger relief meals packed in an hour for Haiti.

[Lunchbox]

Awesome.

[Morgan]

Who knew there was a record that already existed? And then we broke it. And the Guinness guy was there.

[Amy]

I'm not sure that it already existed, though. Did it?

[Morgan]

Did.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Witch had it. A place in Witch had it.

[Amy]

I'll screw you guys. Morgan, you're a little witch. Whatever. I like Witch Tom. All right, that's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, we're all set for the party. I've trimmed the tree, hung the mistletoe, and paired all those weird shaped knives and forks with the appropriate cheeses. And I plugged in the Bartesian.

[Lunchbox]

Bartesian.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a home cocktail maker that makes over 60 premium cocktails, plus a whole lot of seasonal favorites too. I just got it for 50 off. So how about a Cosmopolitan or a mistletoe margarita?

[Amy]

I'm thirsty. Watch.

[Bobby Bones]

I just pop in a capsule, choose my strength and what?

[Scuba Steve]

Wow.

[Amy]

It's beginning to feel more seasonal in here already.

[Amy]

I don't need to say this, but I will again. Taylor Swift is a marketing genius. Mike, what happened to you? I went to Black Friday shop. I haven't been Black Friday shopping in years. So you went just for this? Just. She put out an ERAS tour book and it was only at Target and she was making it seem like if you didn't go get it on this day, it Would completely sell out. Because everything she does sells out. Yeah. The ticket sell out, Stadium, stadium sell.

[Lunchbox]

Out, records sell out.

[Amy]

So I was there Friday morning. I got there. There was tons of them. Tons of books. Yeah. I walked right in. It made it seem like I was at the fight for this book. You ready? He's ready too. He's ready to fight. I was like, all right, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it for my wife. Cause she's a huge Taylor Swift fan. She's pushing people in the parking lot. I made sure to get there early. I got there, and there was, like, a full pallet of them. So your wife was the fan. You were getting it for her? Yeah. Does she know you got a fur? Yeah, because then now every time we've gone to Target back since, and they still have them. So she would have got it eventually. So what do we say? What do you think? Is Taylor just so awesome that we believe everything she does, or was there a reason to believe because of something somebody said? She's just a genius. Okay, so she didn't even say they're all gonna be sold out. We just believe it. Now you just buy into the hype. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I'm in. Amy, did you watch the Taylor Swift Hallmark movie?

[Morgan]

Oh, the one about her and Travis Kelce? I mean, they're not in it.

[Amy]

I know, but it's not like.

[Morgan]

Right. Okay, so here's the thing. There's a lifetime one that is inspired. Inspired by Taylor and Travis's love story. And then there's a Hallmark one about the Chiefs. And there's also a love story attached, not about them.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And Travis Kelce's mom's even in the Hallmark one about the chiefs.

[Amy]

Yeah. So I want about Taylor. Travis.

[Morgan]

Correct. But I watched the entire Hallmark one, and I am like, this just does not seem like their love story. I'm like, nothing's matching up. And then come to find out, I watched the entire thing literally thinking it's Travis and Taylor, and it's not. I was watching the wrong one.

[Amy]

Oh, my God. Oh, I've heard it all. That's the worst.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, it's called Holiday Touchdown.

[Morgan]

That's the Hallmark one. That's what I watched.

[Amy]

Did you end up liking it?

[Morgan]

Do you see how that would be confusing?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

A chief's love story.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

It was fine. Yeah, it was good. I love all those kind of movies. You would hate it. Don't watch it. And then the lifetime one is about them. Not yet, because I have to. I Had. That was my Thanksgiving break. I was looking forward to it. It was like the Countdowns on Saturday night premiering. Which, let me tell you, Hallmark, they probably got a lot of Lifetime viewers. They were like, oh, yeah, Travis Kelsey's mom's in it. Exactly, exactly. They heard what Lifetime was doing with their movie, and they're like, we'll one up them and get Travis Kelce's mom and everyone will watch our channel instead.

[Amy]

Review the other one you watched, though. That's about the Chiefs.

[Morgan]

Okay, four out of five.

[Amy]

That's high.

[Lunchbox]

That's really good.

[Amy]

Four out of five is high.

[Morgan]

But for Christmas movies, I don't know, I feel like they're all five.

[Amy]

Okay, so four. Your scale is weird.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, you're hard to scale.

[Amy]

I just don't understand it. I just don't understand. But so four out of five.

[Morgan]

Let me explain it to you like this. I love all the Christmas movies so much that to me, they're all like five out of five. Except for Hot Frosty on Netflix. That one was so bad. That's new this year. Don't waste your time. And then Holiday Touchdown. Four out of five. Because I felt like I was duped.

[Amy]

So four out would be two out of five. I don't know. Anyway, Merry Christmas, everybody. Okay. All right. Thank you, Amy. Lunchbox claims that he got into a fight with his neighbor. What happened?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I had to confront him because he raked all his leaves. But the problem is he just piled them in the street. And I'm not talking like a little pile. I'm talking a gargantuan pile of leaves. He just put them in the street. Problem is, we street park. So he's taking up two spots on the street because he's got a big old pile of leaves.

[Amy]

Can you not park on the leaves?

[Scuba Steve]

No, these are like leaves up to your knees.

[Amy]

I still feel like I can drive on top of them.

[Morgan]

Well, I felt like he used the word gargantuan. And that just means. To me, I don't think that that, like, if you were to drive up on top of them, you'd be almost like on a leave.

[Lunchbox]

No, they crush.

[Amy]

They're leaves.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but a big pile of leaves.

[Amy]

I mean, I'm looking at the pile here, and it's a big pile, but okay, so anyway, we have audio of Lunchbox confronting his neighbor. You recorded this?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Did you have a good holiday, man? Yeah, it was good.

[Amy]

It was good.

[Scuba Steve]

How about yours? Oh, it's, you know, great. But, I mean, I did notice that. I guess you Decided to, you know, rate the leaves. Yard looks great. But oh yeah, there were lots and lots of leaves. I had to get them off my grass. I didn't want it to die. Yeah, yeah, but you just piled them in the street. Like. I mean, the city comes and they'll get them or they'll blow away. Besides, it was by that that. Well, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but it's a junk car. You haven't moved in months, so I just thought it'd be a good spot for them. Yeah, I mean, you know, the car doesn't work and I've told you that before that it. But it does just sit there. But I just didn't think. Are you going to move in Eventually. But I don't think the leaves in the street, I mean, I guess that's. I mean, it looks bad, but. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of annoying. In a couple weeks it'll be fine. It'll be fine by New Year's or something like that. All right, see you later, man. Okay.

[Amy]

A lot of stuff to unpack here.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. I feel like I just watched like an awkward scene, you know, like in the office or on the office.

[Amy]

So let's go to the leaves first. Does the city come and get rid of the leaves then need be bagged?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I think. I don't think they just scoop them off the street.

[Amy]

Okay, number two, the junk car. He's talking about his lunchbox's car, the Ultima.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, yeah, he did pile him up like right behind it.

[Amy]

Maybe this is a passive aggressive way for him to say don't judge me when you left your junk car on the side of the road.

[Morgan]

And he also, when anybody uses line not to be rude or I don't want to hurt your feelings.

[Amy]

Yeah, usually they're going to hurt your feelings.

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Amy]

Yeah. So would you move and get rid of your car for him to move the leaves?

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, because it looks like you're.

[Amy]

Both hogging a bunch of space on the street. A junk car and leaves are just piled there.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, the car has not moved. I mean, it's pretty gross and I get it. And it does need to move. It needs to get be taken care of. But the leaves, I don't know, it just seems like it's crazy to just throw them in the street. Like, am I. Am I missing something?

[Morgan]

Well, when you say your car needs to be taken care of, what do you mean? Do you just want to towed away and gone forever? Well, we can Gift him that for Christmas or something.

[Amy]

What, towing his car?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's like, get. He said, I'll chip in. Yeah.

[Amy]

It's going to cost more to tow than it's worth.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. But we have to get rid of it.

[Amy]

Remember when he went and took it in and got an appraisal? How much?

[Scuba Steve]

Like $425 for the whole car?

[Morgan]

What if we sell it for parts?

[Scuba Steve]

But now it would have to be a donation. Like, I'd have to do it to, like, a car like that does cars for people.

[Amy]

I think the guy knew you had no basis to stand on. If you're like, hey, the leaves are in the street. And he's like, so is your junk car. Check. Checkmate.

[Morgan]

Yep.

[Amy]

Move your car. Or you could really do the passive aggressive thing and bag the leaves.

[Scuba Steve]

That's not passive aggressive. That's getting rid of them for him.

[Amy]

It is, but it's also showing him, well, if you're not gonna do it, I guess I'll do it. And he's not gonna like that. Like, that's like, I'm gonna get you in a way you never thought you'd even be bothered by being. God.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, I think that's me doing work for him that he didn't do. And I don't. I thought you were gonna say throw him back in his yard.

[Amy]

That would be aggressive. Yes. So what's the plan? What are you gonna do?

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, what I do, I've been doing for the couple days. I let the kids play in it, so they kind of throw the leaves and it helps, like, dispersed him a little bit.

[Amy]

So you're putting them back more into the road or more to his yard?

[Scuba Steve]

Both.

[Amy]

When are you getting rid of the car?

[Scuba Steve]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, it's hard to let go.

[Amy]

It's not. It's piece of metal.

[Morgan]

We've all said bye to cars that we've loved.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Everyone.

[Amy]

And that's just parked on the street and it's taking up spaces. That's okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. And I still got to clean it out, though. And the problem is now, like, why.

[Amy]

Don'T you put the leaves in the trunk and drive it off and.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, it doesn't drive.

[Amy]

Oh. Oh, yeah, Sorry.

[Scuba Steve]

Sorry.

[Amy]

Junk car.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, but I did a pretty good job. Like, I let him know.

[Lunchbox]

No, not really.

[Amy]

I think you think you're a lot more aggressive and stronger than you are. Yeah. Let us know how that turns out.

[Morgan]

Oh, he should get his other neighbor on it. That really takes care of business.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, that guy.

[Amy]

He does have a neighbor that takes care of business and saves lives. That's true.

[Lunchbox]

16 year old Tyler Jordan. He lives in Tennessee, but he loves to play music. He actually learned how to play guitar while he was battling a brain tumor at St. Jude Children's Medical center, which is crazy that he actually was there. Learned how to play and Make a Wish foundation found out his story and said, you know what? You love playing music. You want to be a record producer someday. They gifted him a whole recording studio that he can have now. And he says, you know what? I've been making so much music, I can now put out my music, record it in my own studio, and everyone can hear it.

[Amy]

That's super cool.

[Lunchbox]

They did that, which is really, really cool.

[Amy]

Which is also too the ability to acquire the skills to even get better at it. Right. It's not just the gift of it, it's the gift of being able to, like, learn to do it. That's pretty cool.

[Lunchbox]

And they said while he was at St. Jude he would be doing his treatment and he'd little by little, learn how to play the guitar.

[Amy]

Awesome. There you go. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

Let's go to Amy's morning Corny. The morning Corny.

[Morgan]

Why is Santa afraid of getting stuck in a chimney?

[Amy]

What's that?

[Morgan]

He has claustrophobia.

[Amy]

Ah, good.

[Morgan]

Santa Claus.

[Amy]

Yeah, I get it.

[Scuba Steve]

I get it.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That was the morning cor. A couple of Tuesday reviews days. I'll go first on Netflix. There's a show called Black Doves. Anybody watched?

[Lunchbox]

Nope.

[Mike D]

Nope.

[Amy]

It's awesome. And you're gonna tell me that Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman aren't the same person?

[Lunchbox]

Same person for sure.

[Amy]

Same person.

[Morgan]

Okay, hold on. In my head right now, I'm trying to tell them apart. I know exactly what Natalie Portman looks like.

[Amy]

I think the difference is one is British, but they can always play those accents up. Same person to me. But this one's Keira Knightley. And the Black Doves, they're basically spies. It's a six part series on Netflix. It's awesome. I give it four and a half out of five. Confusion on who the main actress is.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Is it Natalie Portmantele?

[Amy]

It's Keira Knightley, but I kept going. If you said pick one and maybe bet my life on it, I wouldn't know. But Black Doves, it's awesome. It gets a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's on Netflix. It's only six parts, but it's really, really great. So that's my Tuesday reviews day. Amy, have anything?

[Morgan]

I have nothing. Well, nothing that I'm allowed to talk about.

[Amy]

You're not done. No soft reviews.

[Morgan]

Correct.

[Amy]

All right. Mike D Movie. Mike, anything? Yeah, I watched a movie called Y2K. It's like a horror comedy about what would happen if the Y2K scare actually happened. So all these like technology things start revolting against humans and what is that on? It's in theaters. I don't watch that. Okay, review it. I give it 3 out of 5. Tamagotchis. If this movie would have came out in 1999, it would have been a huge hit. Right now it feels a little bit dated. Tamagotchi's. Those little toys that we're supposed to keep alive, right? The dull digital toys. Feed them and everything. I want to go talk to Erica in Texas. Erica needs some advice. Erica, what's up?

[Mike D]

I haven't talked to my ex husband in almost two years. We have two children and the youngest one is 17. She was sick, so she's taking college courses in high school and I need to pay $600 by January for her to continue to take these courses. How do I go about talking to my husband when I haven't talked to him?

[Amy]

Do you have a text message, an email? Do you have any of those ways to get ahold of him?

[Mike D]

Nope, I deleted everything. And my daughter only talks to him on the weekends because she has to.

[Amy]

So if she can talk to him, though, does she have the information to be able to get ahold of him?

[Mike D]

She does, but she doesn't want anything from him. When she turns 18, she's done with him because of what he has done.

[Amy]

You need the money. I mean, is this something that you need, like, right now? It's not easy to give 600 bucks.

[Mike D]

It's not easy to get 600 bucks. She's a senior this year and she's been taking high school or, sorry, college courses since she was a sophomore. So when she graduates and goes into college next year, she'll already have her bachelor's and she just needs to get her hands on training for marine biology.

[Amy]

Dang. And how do you feel about reaching out to your husband to ask for something? Is that something that you just don't want to do, but you feel like you have to do for this?

[Mike D]

I have to do, I feel, but I don't want to. I mean, he cheated on me with my stepsister. Oh, okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's. That's terrible. But right now I'm just like, very fired up for you. Like, regardless of. Yeah. What happened or what he did, he needs to contribute to the well being of your daughter. And so if I don't know what the situation is, he's paid anything over this period of time, but he absolutely should be contributing to this, and you should with kindness. You need to get the number from your daughter. And I know it's probably not fun to talk to him, but you need to say, like, hey, this is what I've spent over this, this, and this, and this is what's due, and I need you to contribute.

[Amy]

Amy brings up a great point. Has he contributed anything in the past.

[Mike D]

Couple years when he's with her? Yes. The only thing. No, it's not. The only thing he pays on a regular basis is the insurance, because she's on his insurance. But all the medical bills that we've had to pay for since she was sick, I've had to pay for. Is it because I work at the.

[Amy]

I'm sorry, is it to you? Is it. Is there something too about it where you. You would rather not ask him because you just don't want to be involved? Like, if you had it you try to pay it yourself. It's not the principle of him paying because it's a daughter. It's the principal. In your mind, you don't want to deal with him, and you wish you could just pay it.

[Mike D]

Oh, I don't want to deal with him at all. And I would pay it if I had it. I mean, there's a lot to it. When I found out that it was my stepsister, I got her kicked out of the military as well.

[Amy]

Dude, that's crazy. Wait, how'd you get her kicked out of the military?

[Morgan]

Was he in the military, too? Because you can't be doing that.

[Mike D]

No, he was not in the military. Well, he was in the past, but he hasn't been in for 12 years. She was stationed over here in San Antonio, and I knew who her command was, and I sent them proof. And. Yeah.

[Amy]

Would you rather stick it to him and get the money? As in like a stick it and you owe us, or would you rather just have the money and never talk to him again?

[Mike D]

And trying to get extra shifts at the clinic that I work at, and, I mean, it's coming, but it's not coming fast enough for January.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Mike D]

Because that money's due January 16th.

[Amy]

How much do you need?

[Morgan]

$600.

[Amy]

Do you have Venmo?

[Mike D]

Yeah. 600.

[Morgan]

No, Bobby, she needs to call him.

[Amy]

If she doesn't want to talk to him and she doesn't want him contributing so he can't hold it against her, I'm happy to just Venmo her the money.

[Morgan]

I know that you are.

[Mike D]

No.

[Amy]

Okay, yeah, Venmo. I can fix this right now.

[Mike D]

I do have Venmo, but no, I don't want your money. Thank you. I know you do this a lot, but. No.

[Amy]

If you don't want to deal with him and you're working on this, let a friend help you out. I'm happy to help you out. And then screw him. It's not even like a let me help you. It's more like, screw the dude. If he's never involved, don't bring him involved so he can hold it over your head. Like, screw him. He screwed you. Well, I screwed your stepsister. Basically, he screwed you over. It would make me feel good to help. Would you let me do that, please? And you never have to even talk to him again because he's such a freaking loser. Say yes.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Amy]

Say yes.

[Mike D]

I mean, say yes. Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Mike D]

Thank you.

[Amy]

I'm gonna put you on hold. Screw him. Don't talk to him. No, I don't want?

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no, no. Do you know what would really screw him? You give her the 600, and then she asks him for it, and boom, she's on top.

[Amy]

If she wants to double up to catch up, that's great. You can do that too. Double up, but I don't want her to have the stress of it. Okay, stay on hold, Erica. Don't feel bad. I'm happy to do this. I got you. I'm gonna send this over to you now. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast.

All right, we're all set for the party. I've trimmed the tree, hung the mistletoe, and paired all those weird shaped knives and forks with the appropriate cheeses. And I plugged in the Partisan Partisan. It's a home cocktail maker that makes over 60 premium cocktails, plus a whole lot of seasonal favorites, too. I just got it for 50 off, so how about a Cosmopolitan or a mistletoe margarita?

This podcast is supported by BetterHelp, offering licensed therapists you can connect with via video phone or chat. Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations, hes Yoo Jo discussing who can benefit from therapy.

[Morgan]

I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy. Once you're, like, having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody.

It's me, Don Toliver. If I could describe the open earbud, I would describe it as very seamless. It's like you clipping onto your ear and then sometimes you can forget it's there but it's not going anywhere because it's like clipped. It's kind of crazy. If I could bring my music with me wherever I go, it just make life easier and seamless without interruption. To be able to have the music on hand like that without any interruptions would be great.
