[Bobby]

Here we go. Come on, Bobby.

[Amy]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby]

Welcome to Tuesday Show Morning Studio Morning. So they're naming babies dog names now, so I want to read you this. This is from NBC Chicago. Baby names this year include things like. I guess Max isn't so much a dog name, huh? Bear. Banjo Blue.

[Amy]

Banjo Blue for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Banjo.

[Amy]

No, no, I'm saying Banjo and Blue and Bear. But Max, you're right. Max kind of common name. Duke I had to do growing up.

[Bobby]

Duke's a dog's name, right? Yeah, Maverick, which I don't feel like is a just a dog's name, but also, if you're gonna name your kid Maverick, that's putting him in a bad spot because he better be awesome at everything.

[Amy]

There's a golfer named Maverick. Maverick McNeely, I think.

[Eddie]

And is he awesome?

[Amy]

Yeah, he's pretty good.

[Bobby]

Okay. Yeah. And he grew up really rich.

[Amy]

That's right.

[Bobby]

So you better be, like, really rich and have something really awesome about you if you're gonna be named like Maverick or like Maverick. Just Ace or something.

[Eddie]

Giving Rich, like Stella.

[Bobby]

But I think Stella's a. Not really a dog's name. If it was like Spot, I'd be like, that's straight on a dog's name. But, yeah, it's almost like we're running out of names. So now they're just gonna start naming babies dogs names. But what has Happened with baby names is what used to be old is new and what is new is old. And that just is always a cycle. What is the name that will never come back though? Bertha.

[Eddie]

Gertrude.

[Amy]

Sure. Gertrude.

[Bobby]

No, I think I've. I've seen Gertrudes. Yeah, because they're not called Gertrude, they're just called like Gertie something. Yeah, like I've seen babies named Gertrude. H. Cuz it's like that one doesn't seem as weird though. Maybe I'm desensitized to it being old because I've seen a couple babies name that Agnes.

[Amy]

That's an old name.

[Bobby]

But is that one that is not at all back like debate Agnes Bera.

[Amy]

What about like Homer?

[Bobby]

I don't know. Homer's kind of cool again. I don't mind Homer. I don't mind Homer. But if your wife came to you and said let's go with Agnes.

[Amy]

No, no, we're not doing it.

[Bobby]

What about Chester? Because I just think of the word molester.

[Eddie]

No, no, you can do that.

[Bobby]

Tough to do the rhyme. Yeah.

[Amy]

You Chester the.

[Bobby]

Yeah, well I literally just said molester.

[Amy]

I know, but yeah, yeah.

[Bobby]

How about like Leonard? Leah?

[Amy]

That's Leo though. That's Leo.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but Leonard as a name now is it. I'm not. I think Leonard's fine. And again, I think it matters if you name it after somebody. How about Albert?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Bobby]

As a baby now. Not anybody's alive at this point. Albert. Albert. Walter as a baby.

[Eddie]

I don't hate it. Walter, Walter. I just think of Walter White if.

[Bobby]

Somebody said this is my baby Walter.

[Amy]

Like you named it Walter.

[Bobby]

What about a baby named Ron?

[Eddie]

Oh no, there's no Rons.

[Lunchbox]

What about Ron?

[Bobby]

But Ron is Ronald, you know.

[Eddie]

What about Donald?

[Bobby]

Yeah, I don't mind Donald. Like Don, Doug, Donnie, Doug. I don't care. What's the worst though?

[Lunchbox]

Gertrude.

[Amy]

He's stuck on Gertrude.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I don't mind Gertrude that much. I think Bertha probably never comes back. They've been named a golf club after it. You know Bertha. Yeah, yeah. Cuz Bertha's also like something we call somebody's big.

[Amy]

Yes, yes.

[Bobby]

That would be a tough one. Like here's our baby bertha. She's more 14 pounds 1 ounce, you.

[Lunchbox]

Know, might be dead now. Is Alexa. Yeah, you can't name someone that anymore.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I would say that's not because of an old person thing. No, that's because of a technology. My cousin Siri had the hardest time. Oh, I know, man. Yeah. All right, everybody good?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Send it into the mailman. Send it in. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm having trouble convincing our kids that part of growing up means taking care of your own expenses. Now that they're all out of school, they've been good about finding their own places to live. My issue is things like streaming services. Last week, I changed all of our passwords and accounts so that they reflected just me and my wife and one household. When I did that, you'd have thought we'd have cut them out of the will. All heck broke loose, and it was like, how dare you? Is there an age limit when you start weaning grown kids off of stuff like your streaming services? Do they really need that much of a warning to prepare themselves? Signed, mom of adult children. Amy, you can go.

[Eddie]

Gosh, I feel like my kids are going to be adults using all my things. I don't know that there's an age. But you're the parent. Sometimes my kids even tell me that when I ask them a certain question, and they're like, you're the adult. You're the mom. You tell us. Sometimes they just need to be told. So you've got to decide what you want to do. Set the boundary, tell them, and then they'll be okay.

[Bobby]

What was the last thing that your parents paid for of yours? And neither one of them are no longer with us, but, like, what was the last thing?

[Eddie]

So I do know that on my wedding night, I had a credit card that I still had that my dad had given me. I didn't use it as much, but I had it just in case. But now that I was an adult and had a job and I was getting married on my wedding night, that was one of my gifts to him. I cut it up and put an envelope, and I was like, I don't even need it for emergencies anymore.

[Bobby]

Boom.

[Eddie]

Like. Cause this is my final adult thing that I'm probably gonna do. And plus, he paid for the wedding, so I felt bad.

[Bobby]

Yeah, but that's traditional.

[Eddie]

I know we can't hold that against you. But still, I felt like, here, I'm gonna give you this since you gave me this.

[Bobby]

Morgan, didn't you just stop getting your parents paying for something? Or are they still paying for something yours? Like insurance or something?

[Eddie]

Yeah, the insurance stopped, like, the first year out of college.

[Bobby]

Okay, you just got bused. You got thrown under a bus. Is that still paying for your phone? No, we're all on the same phone.

[Eddie]

Thing, but I pay for it. Like, we're on the same.

[Bobby]

You tried to bust her it didn't work.

[Amy]

Well, I think she mentioned that the.

[Eddie]

Two we're on the same one.

[Bobby]

You tried to bust her unsuccessfully. I like the idea of just cutting them and not telling them. That way there's no. Like. Please don't. Please don't. You just cut them. The login doesn't work. Get your own account. I think you did the right thing. I think you felt it was the right thing, so you did it. I don't think there's an age like Amy said. I think it's hilarious now that people have pay for their own accounts because you're supposed to. Yeah. Good job, parents. You're cutting those kids off. We don't have an actual rule on that, but we agree with what you did because we think parents should make their own decisions. Right, Amy?

[Eddie]

Yep, that's right.

[Bobby]

There you go. Close it out. Here's a voicemail we got last night.

[Eddie]

I am bilingual.

[Bobby]

I just heard the segment of Eddie.

[Eddie]

And Mikey speaking Spanish and I. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Significa.

[Bobby]

It's.

[Eddie]

Y'all are both saying it wrong. It's significa. Significa. The accent is on the wrong syllable. Significa.

[Bobby]

What did the accent on the syllable, depending on what part of the country you'd be from. Cause that's how we do with English. I don't know.

[Amy]

That's a good question, Mike.

[Bobby]

You wanna. You think she's right or wrong or. Oh, she's right. Yeah. That was a brain thing on me. I was trying to say it back to Eddie and even I was saying, you're wrong.

[Amy]

We're idiots.

[Bobby]

I was literally just trying to protect you guys. I have no idea.

[Amy]

Did you hear her laugh so hard?

[Bobby]

Yeah, she thought it was funny. I was telling you that I thought it was funny. I didn't know what you guys were saying. That's how critical people are of Spanish. That's what I was saying. Like, Eddie has to be like, top notch to make it. Here's Cindy J. From Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

[Eddie]

I was just thinking about you guys and I just wanted to say. And how much I appreciate you guys so much and your show, but I've been kind of absent for the last couple weeks and I just wanted to say hi again. I love your show. I love the Bobby Bone Show. Have a great Thanksgiving and God blessing to you all.

[Bobby]

Thank you very much. The same to you. I bet it's cold up there in South Dakota. Oh, yeah. We think it's cold here. Yeah. Shout out you guys after coats already. The Bobby Bone Show. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

[Eddie]

Having too many pictures and unread emails on your phone might mean you have a mental disorder.

[Bobby]

Absolutely. If you have any red dots at all, that's the more mental disordered you are.

[Eddie]

That's me. What are my red dots at right now? Let me check.

[Bobby]

Where? Not you. I'm just saying. All of you guys.

[Eddie]

607 under text messages from me. And the disorder is hoarding. Hoarding disorder. It's digital hoarding, and it's where you can't let go of photos. You hold on to way too many emails and text or maybe even memes. You screenshot all kinds of things, and that is what is wrong with people.

[Bobby]

Total red dots on my whole phone. Zero.

[Amy]

On your whole phone.

[Bobby]

None. None. None. I see a red dot. It is. That's a red alert, literally, for me to get to it, complete it, get it out of the way so I don't worry about it.

[Amy]

I have 22,000 unread emails, and that's because I started over in the new year.

[Bobby]

Oh, my God. Why don't. Why don't you just do select all and delete them all, then I'm going to do that.

[Eddie]

You're not digital Hoarder Eddie.

[Amy]

That's me.

[Eddie]

That's your disorder.

[Bobby]

What else?

[Eddie]

36% of Americans think they are, quote, too old to learn. And I guess Eddie does this.

[Bobby]

He's like, I'm too old. Good point. Eddie's like, what's the use? I'm about to die anyway.

[Amy]

Yeah, like math. You're like, oh, get better at math for what? I have a calculator. I asked my wife to do the tips.

[Eddie]

That's not what we're talking about. It's like when you were diagnosed with dyslexia and stuff, you have an opportunity to maybe learn how to get better at things. Like, there's tips and tools. You're like, who cares? I'll just live this way.

[Amy]

Yeah, I figured out a way to read with dyslexia. It's a bad disease, but I figured it out.

[Eddie]

It's not a disease. It's a disorder.

[Amy]

That's what it is.

[Bobby]

Contagious.

[Eddie]

Anyway, I did think of these guys, or y'all could learn how to save for your retirement. And I just think that we're never too old to learn.

[Bobby]

Yeah, I agree.

[Eddie]

I want to go back to school.

[Amy]

Oh, no, that's not.

[Bobby]

I don't have the time for that.

[Eddie]

But yes, I know about it.

[Bobby]

I would want to. I don't have the hours, I don't think.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, I'm a doctor already.

[Bobby]

What am I going to do?

[Amy]

Oh, that's true.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

There are some rumors going around that Target is supposed to get a cocktail bar. Don't believe them. They are not true. They will not be serving targarytas while you shop.

[Bobby]

Man, that did sound good, though.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby]

Who starts that rumor?

[Eddie]

I have no idea. Yeah, but I feel.

[Bobby]

Margarita is perfect.

[Eddie]

It's so perfect.

[Amy]

Like, you got red, too.

[Eddie]

You get coffee and. Oh, yes.

[Bobby]

You know how they do the coffee with, like, the little shapes in them and stuff? They do the margarita, but it has the target in it. It's like a red circle in the middle of. Red circle.

[Amy]

Come on.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I feel like they're on to something. Maybe after they hear all these rumors and people being disappointed, maybe they'll actually put it in there. And Target. I would like to say, I do think that people would shop more after if I had one Targaryta. I'd be buying more.

[Bobby]

That's a good point.

[Eddie]

We just need to make sure to have it designated.

[Bobby]

You may also have people, like, dumping over the aisles and stuff too, if it goes a little crazy. Okay.

[Eddie]

I'm Amy. That's my file.

[Bobby]

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

[Eddie]

Gosh, there's this kid, Eden. He's been in foster care for years, actually seven years total, which is a very long time. And back in 2019, when he was only 11, he was featured on the news, like, hey, I would really like to get adopted. Well, fast forward. They did another news feature on him this year, and it finally happened. At 17 years old, he was adopted. Jeff and Kelly Buck, they saw the feature and they were like, hey, yeah, we have to bring him in. And now at 17, he's not going to age out of the foster care system and he's going to have a family in time for Thanksgiving.

[Bobby]

So what are the benefits of being.

[Eddie]

Adopted at 17, not not aging out and then having, like, no support? The way I look at it is, like, Even if you're 17 and someone's bringing you in and they're saying, hey, we want to be your mom. We want to be your dad. Now, when you become an adult and start to do adult things, you have support, you have a net, you have a system, you have something you've never had before. A little bit of security, because at 18, then you're just out there on your own.

[Bobby]

What would be the benefit of adopting a 17 year old. Same thing, like a year and then.

[Amy]

Yeah, not much. I mean, that's why they have such a big heart.

[Bobby]

Like, it's really nothing like 7 year old. Like, they're out in a year.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, they got to go, I adopted somebody. Well, but in a way, you would think that probably they stay with you a little longer so they can get acclimated and then you can help them. Because there's a lot. They likely maybe haven't developed being in the foster system and you get to give them that. And I just. They have a family for life now. When you adopt them, that means, you know, they get to come home for Christmas. Say they do get an opportunity for college or they go off and get a job. Now they get to have a family to come home to.

[Bobby]

That's what I should do. Like an 18 year old.

[Amy]

No, 17 and then one.

[Bobby]

That's what I'm saying. And then like, it's kind of already all built in. I adopted a kid, then I'm like, look at me. No, that's awesome. They did that with true intentions. Me, my intentions were not true. Right. Mine were like, I can now click and get the benefits of being a.

[Eddie]

Parent because I would also say it's going to come with some challenges.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Yes.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Great story. What were the names again?

[Eddie]

Kelly and Jeff. Buck.

[Bobby]

All right, great job, guys. That's an awesome story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. We'll do a country music game here. Let's do lyrics.

Which, by the way, Throw Throw Burrito is so fun. Currently on sale right now for only $10 at Walmart, you can buy 25 of these gift cards until Thursday of this week. Only 10 bucks. Okay, Eddie, last one.

[Amy]

Come on.

[Bobby]

In the song she's country by Jason Aldean. In addition to her being a bad mama jama from down in Alabama and a raging Cajun, she's also a lunatic. From where?

[Amy]

Brunswick. Come on. A lunatic from Brunswick.

[Bobby]

Come on.

[Amy]

I don't even know that song. I know that line, though. And you know why? Because every time I hear it, I'M like, where's Brunswick? Where's that? New Jersey.

[Bobby]

She's a party all nighter from South Carolina.

[Amy]

Come on.

[Bobby]

A bad mama Jim from down in Alabama. She's a Ragin Cajun lunatic from Brunswick.

[Amy]

Let's go, Justin.

[Bobby]

Justin. Yeah. Dude, I wouldn't have got that one. I do.

[Amy]

That's. That line's always stuck out to me like, little tick from Brunswick.

[Bobby]

That's crazy. Hey, Justin. Congratulations, buddy. Won you a 250 Walmart gift card. Starting to. Again, throw, throw Burrito the game. We'll all sign this game and send it to you as well. All right, buddy. Thank you. Did you know that lunatic from Brunswick? No. No, not at all. I didn't either. Again, throw, throw Burrito is currently on sale right now for only $10 at Walmart until Thursday of this week. Couple more days, so get in on that. There you go. That's Justin. That's a winner. Eddie, you're the winner.

[Amy]

Awesome.

[Bobby]

Make dreams come true, man. You're Oprah. You're Oprah. Did your daughter rear end somebody?

[Eddie]

Yeah. In my driveway. Oh, yeah. So I was just like, normally there's not a car there. And she was leaving for work and sort of in a hurry and didn't look back.

[Bobby]

Usually there's not a car there.

[Eddie]

Totally not a car there, which is such a bummer because it's a newer Toyota. So the bumper. All she did was dent the bumper. It like. It's like. That's something like a big dent. And because newer cars now have all the sensors and the cameras and everything, this is the most expensive bumper known to man.

[Bobby]

Back in the good old days, you just get a new bumper, right? Go over to the junkyard, find you a similar bumper, tape it on.

[Eddie]

Yeah. This is not the good old days anymore. Like, the damage was so, like, we thought, okay, because she's been working and saving money. And so I was like, well, this is one of those things that may go towards that. No way. She'd have to work for, like, the entire year. How much was the bumper? $8,000.

[Amy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Eddie]

Thousand on a. Yes, on a Camry. A new one. Because of the. It's because all of the sensors and the, like, everything that was there and that bumper and then kind of like where it was with the trunk part, I don't know. So we filed through insurance, and now she's gonna pay the deductible.

[Bobby]

How much was the whole Camry? The bumper has got to be significant part of the whole car.

[Eddie]

So. But I guess that's where they have a lot of, like, probably anything down below surrounding the car is where all those sensors are. So you get the front bumper, the back bumper. This happened to be. And. But she's gonna. She's covering the deductible, and then she's gonna cover whatever. Our monthly insurance goes up.

[Bobby]

You know, it trips me out because my Hyundai, it has this thing where if you're backing up, obviously has the camera on it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Which I don't be honest. I shouldn't say this. I don't even turn my head around, look back anymore. I just go off camera because the camera's so good. So I just back it. I don't even. Whatever. Secondly, I don't know how they do that thing where they can like, see everything around you from the top.

[Amy]

It's pretty cool.

[Bobby]

You ever see that in a car? My Hyundai has that, too. Where it's like. It shows you like.

[Eddie]

Like aerial view.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Is that a helicopter above me watching? How do they do that?

[Amy]

There is. I don't know.

[Bobby]

That would be awesome. You ever see that?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but how did they do that?

[Bobby]

How do they do that?

[Amy]

They get all the cameras, and they put it. And they merge them together. I know, but you have cameras in every point of your car. So you merge it together, and they put a fake car in the middle. It's not really your car.

[Bobby]

Oh, it's shaped like my car.

[Eddie]

Whatever.

[Bobby]

Trips me out.

[Eddie]

No, roll the window down, stick your arm out and see if you see it in the video.

[Amy]

You will, because the camera's gonna catch it.

[Bobby]

Oh, it's gonna catch your arm going out.

[Amy]

Yeah, man.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

It is cool, though.

[Bobby]

I miss the good old days, but that checks me out. A woman in Maryland wins her second lottery jackpot in two months. She won 100,000 bucks from a scratch off one month ago. Won $50,000 for another game. I think this is the only chance that I have to convince Lunchbox that time travel is real.

[Amy]

Yeah, this is it. He might believe it after this.

[Bobby]

Dude, you've played so many times. Hundreds, thousands of times, and you never hit. And she hits twice big ones in two months. How does that happen? Is that just straight luck?

[Lunchbox]

It's straight luck. Or the lottery gods start shining down on her. It's sort of like.

[Bobby]

Okay, but that is like saying time travel. If you say the lottery gods are shining down, that's just you making up a.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. It's sort of like in hockey or whatever they say. Oh. Or soccer. The first goal is the hardest one, and Then they come and, you know, drove. So maybe getting that first win is the key. And then something happens where it unlocks the lottery for you. I don't know. I can't explain it because it's so frustrating when I hear someone like this win twice in two months or whatever. It drives me bananas.

[Bobby]

So you're saying there could be something bigger than anything that you could understand or explain, like the lottery gods allowing. Like the lottery gods. Yes. Which could be time to travel.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby]

Alien. It could be she connection to the office. Who knows?

[Lunchbox]

It could be she knows Jim that works at the lottery office and says, hey, these balls are gonna pop this week. But that's not.

[Bobby]

Those are scratch offs.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby]

Here's another one. A woman buys 18 identical lottery tickets.

[Lunchbox]

I don't understand that.

[Bobby]

This is not scratch off. She won $180,000 because each of them was $10,000. So she bought 18 of them. Explain.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know why you would ever buy the same numbers. Why would you not diversify your portfolio? You know, like you don't want to have one ticket. It's all losing. It's. It's so dumb. Like, have this combination. This combination.

[Eddie]

It's not dumb in this case. Well, actually, it worked.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I understand. But it's like if you're on DraftKings and you're doing a parlay, you don't put the same team in five different parlays because that one team loses. Boom, all five parlays are gone.

[Bobby]

Unless you feel really. Unless you feel really great about it.

[Amy]

No, she must have felt great about it.

[Bobby]

No, no, I would. No, he's saying do it. Don't do all that. He says one team and all the different parlays.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I'm just saying it makes no sense to me when you buy 18, 10, whatever, lottery tickets are the same numbers. I can't.

[Bobby]

So these two stories, these people getting wildly lucky, there's a chance that it's something that you cannot explain.

[Lunchbox]

It's something I can't explain. And it makes me think this holiday season, maybe it's my time.

[Bobby]

Oh, that's what it convinces you?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

Why not just take a whole paycheck and do it once during the holidays?

[Amy]

Do it, man.

[Bobby]

Dude, you know how much Christmas money you'd have for your kids? You hit.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

Set for life.

[Eddie]

You think that's what he's thinking about? Christmas money for his kids?

[Lunchbox]

I ain't worried about Christmas money for my kids. I mean, trust me, I'd be thinking about retirement for me.

[Bobby]

What are you gonna do?

[Lunchbox]

I gotta buy. I'll buy lottery tickets, but I don't know.

[Bobby]

I mean, commit to something bigger.

[Amy]

The whole paycheck.

[Bobby]

Listen, if it were me and I heard these stories, I go, whole paycheck.

[Amy]

Whole paycheck.

[Bobby]

Whole paycheck, dude.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you just heard those stories.

[Bobby]

I know. And you know what? They went hard. And you don't go hard enough. I don't think.

[Lunchbox]

All right, then I'll step it up.

[Bobby]

All right. He stepped it up. We can't get him to step up anything else but stepping up, buying lottery tickets. Okay. I'm starting to get Christmas cards in my house, and I don't hate them, right? I don't love them, but I don't hate them because I don't get a lot of mail at the house. That's not a bill. So open it up. We do our thing. We set it up on the counter. Now, at the end of Christmas, is it okay to take your arm and dump them all in the trash can?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Okay. Everybody good on that?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby]

Okay, how about this? What if you don't know them that well, you just mildly know them, and somehow you get a Christmas card from them? Like, there are people that don't make our counter. We just don the trash immediately. Am I going to hell for that?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby]

Okay, good.

[Amy]

You're good, man.

[Lunchbox]

I'm okay with it.

[Bobby]

Next up, why would they send me a Christmas card?

[Lunchbox]

Great question.

[Eddie]

Well, maybe they just send them out to anybody they've ever encountered.

[Bobby]

They seem expensive.

[Eddie]

Well, this. It's not even just. Well, okay, but you're making the cards. That's the expensive part of, like, getting the. I know, but printing an extra one, that's not the expensive part. To me, it's the time that went into figuring out your address, filling it out, adding you to the list, mailing it, mailing it.

[Bobby]

Okay, let me run this by you. A friend. I would say a friend. And I wish I wouldn't responded like this. So I'd also like to preface with I do. I'm not proud of my response, but it was my. My reaction more so than me trying to prove a point with Christmas cards. Because I. My wife and I, we don't send out Christmas cards. We don't have kids yet. She's not pregnant. But every time I say that, I need to say that we don't say Christmas cards out. And she probably maybe did it as a family, but we never did that. I had a friend text me and go Hey, I need your address. I want to send you a Christmas card. And I replied back, oh, don't worry about sending me one. I already know what you're up to.

[Eddie]

No, that's. That's not just.

[Bobby]

I know.

[Eddie]

Reply with your address.

[Bobby]

Okay. And I should have.

[Eddie]

I mean, if you start with an R. Friend that you wanted.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm getting the same card. I didn't even ask questions. I gave him the address.

[Bobby]

I know.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Cause why would you ask questions?

[Bobby]

Which, by the way, love him. Yeah.

[Amy]

Great guy.

[Bobby]

I don't want a Christmas card from him. He's my friend. It's like, if Eddie goes, want to send you a Christmas card. Why? Dude, I see your whole family, like, every Tuesday.

[Amy]

I'm right there.

[Bobby]

Am I just a hater? I'm trying to break out of my hater of the holidays. I didn't have a lot of good holidays growing up. I don't think I'm a hater. Hater of the holidays, which I used to be. But am I just a hater of the holidays and don't understand that I'm just supposed to be like, I welcome all love in paper form?

[Eddie]

Yeah, okay.

[Amy]

Yeah, you're not a hater of the holiday, though. You're just a hater of the cards. And I'm with you on that.

[Bobby]

But eventually, maybe I'll be Christmas card guy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but, like, okay, if he's. If this is a guy where he's married or has kids or has. It's not that proud of his kids.

[Bobby]

I want somebody to see, but I'm like, I have Instagram, but that's their thing.

[Eddie]

That's what they do. If that's their thing. And people that mail out cards, it's their thing, and they want to send it out. Out.

[Amy]

That'll never be you, Bones. Yeah, it's not me, for sure.

[Bobby]

Yeah, it very much. I'm just saving this because it very much. Well, could be, but it's not gonna be you.

[Eddie]

It's gonna be your wife, possibly. Yeah. You're not gonna. You're not spearheading the. We need to take our Christmas photos, and then we're gonna mail them out.

[Lunchbox]

And unfortunately, you get lumped in, because then someone gets it, like, oh, you sent me a Christmas card. I didn't send it. My wife sent it. I'm not part of that crap around the room.

[Bobby]

Then who sends out Christmas cards with pictures of their family?

[Eddie]

Amy, I've always wanted to be that person, and I'm just not.

[Bobby]

Okay, you've wanted to Be. And someone held you back or you just haven't like.

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, I don't have the. Whatever it is.

[Bobby]

Follow through.

[Eddie]

The organization of, like, doing all that and wanting to gather everybody's stuff and send that out. Nope.

[Bobby]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

My wife did it for the first time last Christmas. I was not a part of it. I was not a willing participant.

[Bobby]

I didn't get your.

[Lunchbox]

She just took pictures from throughout the year. Like you were.

[Bobby]

Got it. Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Like, we didn't take specific pictures.

[Bobby]

You went to Kmart for sure.

[Eddie]

You did a collage.

[Bobby]

Yeah, he went to Kmart for sure.

[Lunchbox]

And I did not get her one single address. If she wanted an address, she found it herself. But I am lumped in and I hate it. Every minute of it.

[Bobby]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

Cuz it's just so stupid. It's a waste of paper. It's a waste of space. It's so much garbage. They're so expensive.

[Bobby]

It's just not worth it as a hater. Hater.

[Amy]

That's a hater.

[Bobby]

Hater. Okay, another one. When people write, like, because not all, but I'd say like a fifth of them, 20% of them have, like, in the card, like, an update on, like, how everybody's doing, like a little.

[Eddie]

That's for family.

[Bobby]

Am I wrong for being annoyed by that?

[Eddie]

No, but I think it's for people that really want to know those updates, like family members. So they just go ahead and throw it into everybody.

[Bobby]

The ones that we've gotten. I don't even really know the people.

[Eddie]

They're like, I know. And it's like, Lucy started her freshman year at college, and I don't know Lucy.

[Lunchbox]

Jack played on two soccer teams. It's like, I don't care about Jack.

[Bobby]

We don't want to be hater. I'm not trying to be a hater. I did not bring this up to be a hater. I'm just asking the protocol. If a friend goes, can I mail? What's your address? And you go, don't worry about it. I don't need. I'm good. I didn't mean that to mean I don't care or love you or like you. It means, you know, don't worry about it.

[Eddie]

I'm sure they were like, this is literally the first time we've ever gotten this response.

[Bobby]

Yeah. And then I never sent my address. Eddie, send cards.

[Amy]

No, no, no chance, dude. I can't stand those things.

[Bobby]

Family as your family growing up, it seemed like Christmas card family.

[Eddie]

No, we never sent out Christmas cards to the family.

[Bobby]

I did send out a Christmas card of me and my dog one year.

[Eddie]

And then it was too much work. I gave up on it.

[Bobby]

To how many people? Like 20.

[Eddie]

It's just like my good friends, but.

[Bobby]

There'S no update or anything.

[Eddie]

There's literally just a picture of me.

[Bobby]

And my dog and Christmas stuff. You know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna say this. I'm gonna. I mean this. I hope I'm a Christmas card guy in the next three or four years.

[Amy]

You won't be.

[Bobby]

I hope you. Why? Because I want to be that.

[Eddie]

So do I.

[Bobby]

Know that means I. I don't have any deadness in my heart anymore.

[Eddie]

It's not about that. It's about the time.

[Bobby]

I want to be that guy.

[Eddie]

An organization.

[Bobby]

Scoot. You got set a Christmas card.

[Amy]

Only my mom because she cares and no one else. My family gives a crap. So I just sent them to her to keep her happy.

[Bobby]

So you sent her one card?

[Amy]

I sent her one card. It used to be for her and my grandmother till she passed, but just my mom and I sent her a card for every holiday, anything from Valentine's Day up to her birthday to the start of summer. She loves cards.

[Bobby]

Oh, you send her cards all the time?

[Amy]

All the time, yeah.

[Bobby]

You know what? I think I would like them a little more if I opened it and a gift card fell out. That'd be nice. Let's change that culture. Send me a gift card with the Christmas card, and I think I'll like it better.

[Eddie]

You know, you were talking about throwing away at the start of this, which I do think that is. Okay. But do you know there's some people that have kept every Christmas card they've ever been given through the years?

[Bobby]

I saw them on Hoarders. Yeah.

[Eddie]

No, but there is a cute way to do it. Like, there's these big silver rings, like you can buy. Like, teachers used to use them for, like, note cards and stuff. You buy those and you janitor key of cards. Sure. You hole punch each card and then you put it on there. And they're organized by year. And I thought that's a brilliant little hack for if you're someone that likes to keep them.

[Bobby]

Sound like losers to me. However.

[Eddie]

No, I hope that I'm a loser.

[Bobby]

Like that because you can look back. My goal is to be a loser. I would love to be a loser like that both ways. I'm saving them, I'm sending them. That's the goal. But I'm standing by how I feel right now. And I just had Some questions about it, but I feel like we're all a little bah humbug for different reasons.

[Eddie]

I wonder why none of us are Christmas card people.

[Amy]

Because we're normal.

[Lunchbox]

We're normal.

[Bobby]

There you have it.

[Eddie]

I'll accept it.

[Bobby]

It's time for the good news with producer eddie.

[Amy]

There's a 10 year old boy in Wisconsin and he's doing his math homework and gosh, he's having trouble with. It's just a few problems he doesn't even know how to even conquer. So he calls 911.

[Bobby]

Wait, why didn't he ask his parents?

[Amy]

I don't know. There's no mention of the parents. But he gets the phone and calls 911. They say, what's your emergency? He says, I need help with my homework. I don't know how to do this. So what does the operator do? Any units out there know any math homework? And they go to this address and help this kid out. And sure enough, deputy Chase Mason, he shows up, sits with him and they do the homework.

[Eddie]

Stop.

[Bobby]

There had to be a lot of cops too that were like, I would help but I don't know math.

[Eddie]

This is awesome because that sounds like.

[Bobby]

When math starts to get weird.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's the age where yeah, we're like mo.

[Bobby]

Most officers, even if they wanted to do it and be cool, they were like, I'm not doing that. I have no idea how to do new math.

[Amy]

They said it was decimal math. I'm out.

[Bobby]

Even like a good hearted cop, it's probably going to be like, nah. So does he at least lecture him on not to call 911 for math homework?

[Amy]

He did. After the homework was done, he said, look, this is not a reason to call 911. That's. Here's the non emergency line. Next time.

[Bobby]

Here's the math number. Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Let's go over to Amy and get the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

[Eddie]

What kind of sweet potato starts arguments?

[Bobby]

What kind of sweet potato starts arguments?

[Eddie]

An agitator.

[Bobby]

Got it. That was the morning Corny agitator. It could have been any kind of tater.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but sweet potato baked potato Tuesday reviews day.

[Bobby]

We'll do part of the room here. We'll go quickly on Tuesday. It's when we review things that we've seen. And I do want to go to Mike D. You watched Wicked, the movie? Yeah, I love the musical. I always consider myself, I'm not a musical guy, but most Musicals I've ever seen. I love a musical. I can't get enough. Wicked, the movie. How was it? I'd never seen the musical. I love the movie. Really? Yeah. The songs are so good. The story is amazing and I love how. How it's. It's a lot of acting parts. Like I thought it was gonna be all singing all the time, but there's a great story around it. I give it 4.5 out of 5 magic wands. Did your theater sing? No, they did not sing. They wanted to. Like during Defying Gravity. You could feel it in the audience, but nobody saying wizard of Oz kind. You never seen it?

[Amy]

Never seen it?

[Bobby]

No, but kinda. Yeah, right. It's like a reimagining prequel. It's awesome. I think I was dragged there once because work was like, this is years ago. They're like, we're doing this thing with. You should go watch. And I went. And then I think I've seen it twice. Like I loved it. Yeah, it's good. And also I think they should do singing and non singing theaters because I know the big drama is people are going and singing and then the people can't hear the movie. Yeah. I think in December they're gonna start doing sing Along. That would be like the Taylor Swift when they had the whole concert. Like Don't Sing Along. Although that's a little more of a concert. But I feel like those are really famous popular songs.

[Amy]

I don't know it.

[Bobby]

Amy, you want to review something?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I finished season one of from with my daughter. That was per your recommendation and I am so excited for season two. It's so good.

[Bobby]

What would you give it?

[Eddie]

I'll give it four out of five just because I had to look away too much and focus on other things so that I didn't get too scared. But yeah, I'll give it four out of five Scary things at night.

[Bobby]

It's on Amazon. It's an MGM plus show, which Amazon bought. MGM plus. I never heard MGM plus and it's listed as horror. But it gets to be way less horror and way more like, oh, I can't figure this out. So I reviewed season one last week. We watched season two now and season two I did not feel was as good as season one. But I still felt like it was really good. But it sets you up perfectly for season three. So I'm still very much in and I'm giving it three and a half. Oh, but I'm ready for season three. But I'm giving it three and a half out of five. Milkman.

[Amy]

Okay, milkman or milkman?

[Bobby]

Milkman. Okay, one milkman. I'm rooting for the milkman. All right, we'll get to everybody else's in a little bit. It's against the law in Louisiana to send someone a surprise pizza because it is considered harassment and it's illegal. And you may think that's fun. Who doesn't love a pizza? Well, Amy once moved her whole house. Moved out of it because somebody kept sending her pizzas.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. It was a safety concern, for sure.

[Bobby]

Yeah. Because you just kept getting these mystery pizzas at your house. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I was like, who is this person? How do they know my address? And it just freaked me out. And that was when I was married and my husband was deployed all the time, and I no longer felt safe.

[Bobby]

It is against the law to order a pizza to be delivered without their knowledge in Louisiana. 500 fine. The law is based on the idea that such a prank could cause distress or inconvenience. Inconvenience. Amy moved her house.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby]

She packed up and moved. It wasn't one pizza. One pizza. You would have just been like, how about that?

[Eddie]

And it was multiple pizzas, and they would order from different places and different toppings.

[Bobby]

And what do you think their intent was with you?

[Eddie]

I don't know. Just maybe freaked me out. Maybe they thought it was a funny prank. But to me, I thought, I don't know who this is. And they would use different phone numbers. There was no way to track down, like, who it was actually coming from.

[Bobby]

Would you ever eat the pizzas?

[Eddie]

No. Oh, I would have, because I also didn't.

[Bobby]

I'm like, I hate this. I'm not.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't.

[Bobby]

But was it from a real delivery person?

[Eddie]

Yes. Well, so I thought. I mean, they had the little hot thing. They put it in.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

They looked.

[Bobby]

You're committing to the bit if you go buy a hot thing, too, and you're not a real delivery person. Right. So the definition of harassment. Harassment's defined by a repeated pattern of verbal or nonverbal communication without invitation.

[Eddie]

There you go.

[Bobby]

So, by the way, it's not illegal where we live, but it is illegal in Louisiana. So working theories around the room. Mine is whomever it was was doing it as a joke. You ended up moving houses. They never will admit they did it because of all the distress and money that it cost you.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I feel like if they admit it now, so many years have passed, like, we're fine.

[Bobby]

Oh.

[Eddie]

So just. I would just really like to know.

[Lunchbox]

It was an invitation.

[Eddie]

I mean, it'd be fine.

[Bobby]

You won't be mad?

[Eddie]

No, I'm not gonna be mad. Because so much of my life has happened since then. Are you kidding me? Like, what? Pizza day? So I'd go back to those gladly.

[Bobby]

You know, any theory on who right now? If you had to bet somebody gave you $1 million and said bet a million dollars free bet on who you think did it, who do you think did it?

[Eddie]

Tyg and Daniel.

[Bobby]

They swear.

[Amy]

They swear.

[Bobby]

They're my friends. They do a morning show in Tulsa. They used to work here. They. Daniel says he will get on a lie detector test.

[Eddie]

Okay, then if it's not them, it's Lunchbox.

[Bobby]

I think it's Lunchbox, too.

[Amy]

I do, too.

[Bobby]

And then he just will not admit it because Amy had to move her house.

[Amy]

But now he can admit it if he wants to.

[Eddie]

He's smiling, like, really awkwardly right now.

[Bobby]

Let me say this because I don't want to stay this for 10 years. However, this is what I want to say. If anybody in this whole organization of us, right, the people that sit in this room, people that sit in the glass room, even the production room, because we got this show. We got a countdown that we do. We got night shows. I do podcast. If anybody in the organization did it, I will. I'm not. I leave at, like, noon or one or whenever I leave, leave a piece of paper on my desk with a simple line drawn down the middle of it. Don't even say who you are. If you did it. No one. You will not be out. I just want to know if it was someone in this organization.

[Eddie]

Okay?

[Bobby]

That's all.

[Amy]

I can leave the cameras running.

[Bobby]

No, don't. See, don't do that. Don't do that. We don't want it.

[Lunchbox]

We don't want Live stream.

[Amy]

I won't do. I won't do that.

[Bobby]

Let me give you another story. Now, this is not about you, but I wanted to bring up the pizza thing. And, you know, I told you that Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey's houses were burglarized. Right?

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby]

And it was while they were playing a game, so they knew they weren't at home. So now the NFL is telling all their players, hey, there's, like, a whole effort, like, a group that are targeting NFL players. Like, they have decided that's who they're going after. They have a bunch of stuff. People obtained a copy of a memo sent by the NFL to team security going, there are. There's an organized criminal Group targeting the homes of professional athletes. There was also a guy named Bobby Portis for the Bucks. Plays basketball. His house was burglarized.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I saw that too. I feel like this should just be like now. Yeah, it was like every sport put it out there. Like if you're. If you're on the PGA Tour or whatever, you're doing any sport, Any sport. If you're like you're not going to be home and it's televised and it's a national thing. I just. It's kind of scary.

[Bobby]

The perpetrators using public records to find the addresses of their pro athlete targets and conduct extensive surveillance before burglarizing the residents. See, this ain't no pizza. This is real stuff. This is no Tiger, Daniel or lunchbox. It could have been. I mean, dark horse on Amy situation Ray.

[Amy]

Dark horse, possibly.

[Bobby]

Cuz Ray's funny and like, does a little pranky prank sometimes. Like dark horse ray. Although I never even know what the word. Dark. Dark horse has always been something that I've said and I didn't make it up. It means like somebody you don't expect but could win.

[Amy]

Sure.

[Bobby]

Don't know if that's something that we shouldn't say anymore. You know, sometimes you say phrases and you're like, wonder if this will get me canceled.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby]

Dark horse. A candidate or competitor about whom little is known, but who unexpectedly succeeds. Let's find the origin of dark horse. Because there are certain things that I say and I'm. For example, you can't say you got gypped anymore.

[Amy]

Oh, is it gypsies? Yes, they get offended by that.

[Bobby]

It's. Yes, it's racing slang. The term began as a horse racing for a horse unknown to gamblers and to establish.

[Eddie]

So, okay, we're good.

[Amy]

We're on.

[Bobby]

We're sticking with it. Don't send pizzas to anybody.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby]

If anybody wants to admit that they did it, we don't even have to say it to you. I just want to know it was when. Within these walls.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I promise you I'm not gonna be mad. That's so like water under the bridge. Where does that saying come from?

[Bobby]

Also because we don't want to get canceled.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby]

Water under the bridge. I would think that is just literally like. That's not canceled.

[Amy]

Like water flowing.

[Bobby]

Yeah. It comes from the ancient Greek saying. It conveys the idea that past events should be put aside.

[Amy]

That's okay.

[Eddie]

There we go.

[Bobby]

A river is constantly flowing. Therefore once it's gone, you can't bring it back. Yes.

[Eddie]

I have float on.

[Bobby]

That's a weird way to say it. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. You can go to podcast two, or you can wait till podcast two comes out.
