[Eddie]

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

[Bobby Bones]

This is my legacy. Wake up. You wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Keeps on turning. Then you hear any Emmy lunchbox, Morgan T. Moving, Steve Red, trying to put you through M Riding this week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V Stor. Right. Time for the morning corny. The morning Corny.

[Lunchbox]

Why did the windows all go to the doctor?

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

They had a lot of pains.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that was the morning corny morning. You did it in character, too.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks. Tuesday Reviews Day. What'd you finish? We finished the Audi Murders on Netflix. Anybody else watch this?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay. I've been reading it as R. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's a different country. It's. It's got two little dots. It's called the R Day Murders.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's Swedish. You. We did English subtitles and made them speak English even though their mouths didn't match. And so it's based on this book. It's all I want to say. It's on Netflix. Five episodes only. For the whole thing. I give it three and a half out of five snowfalls. It's a detective. It's like a thriller detective, murder type series.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's spelled A R, E, but it's the Ade Murders, but in the other language, it's one word. So we did that and then we watched and we finished say Nothing on Hulu, which it was crazy good. And it's real life, too. This was based on the ira, the Irish Republican army, and how they were fighting to get Northern Ireland back from the British. And it was the story of basically these kids that were in the Irish Republican Army. I don't want to say too much about it. You have to put the sub. They speak in English, but it's Irish, so you don't know half the crap they're saying. So you have to put the subtitles on to read along. And it's all true. And the story is about Gene McConville, a single mother of 10. The first episode, she's abducted from her home. All her kids are there. And the whole time you're trying to figure out what was up while actually learning about the history of that war. It's really good. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I just made note of that.

[Bobby Bones]

There are certain things that they say. The epic, like I means. Yeah. Oh, I. Yeah. Lots of Irish. I give it four and a half out of five. Four leaf clovers. I'm Irish, so there's not one for the clover in the whole series. And I think it's like nine episodes, but Irish. But four leaf clovers. I give it four and a half. Really, really great. And then especially when you learn something like that makes it even better. So that's what I got there. Amy, anything?

[Lunchbox]

Chiefsaholics?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you watched it? Yeah, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

My homework assignment. And I give it 3.5 out of 5.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoops. Oh, this is the documentary on Amazon about the guy who would go to away Kansas City Chief games need rob banks on the way to fund his lifestyle.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I just felt like in the beginning, it was a little bit slow. We could have gotten there. And then I felt like it was really dramatic towards the end, so. 3.5. I don't want to give anything away.

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of blew your mind. It was real though, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like, I knew nothing about this. Like, if you all talked about it, I want to ear out the other because I was just not familiar with the entire story. And it is kind of crazy how it all played out.

[Bobby Bones]

He's a super fan of the Chiefs and wanted to have money, so he'd rob banks on the way to games.

[Lunchbox]

And what's bizarre to me is people were actually online. Online trying to support him and share.

[Bobby Bones]

For other Chiefs fans. Chiefs, Kingdom, man, they stick together.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know, but I mean, at some point, you have to realize this has gone too far.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike D. Did you watch the new Marvel movie? Yeah, the new Captain America movie? Brave New World Theater. Yeah, that. Okay. Thoughts? I think after 35 Marvel movies, my expectations are a little bit higher. It was really average, and it kind of felt like a bait and switch. Like the whole trailer was like him fighting the red Hulk. It's a very little part of the movie. Who's him? The new Captain America. Anthony. Anthony Mackie. Got it. Morgan, did you watch it too?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I went to it. I'm opposite. I loved it. I thought it was great. It tied up some loose ends. It. I feel like it started a new side of the Marvel movies that's coming, and I really like him as the new Captain America.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Mike, your review, your rating. I give it three out of five. Shields, Morgan.

[Morgan]

I give it four out of five.

[Bobby Bones]

Pills. Yeah, I don't get any of the references.

[Amy]

Pills and pills.

[Bobby Bones]

There have been 35 movies. 35. You've seen them all. Seen them all because you passed multiple times. Yeah, multiple times. Which one have you seen the most? Probably Avengers. Endgame. I rewatch that one every few months.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Isn't that one like three and a half hours? Yeah, but you just put it on. Come back to it later, rewatch it. All right, there you go. Tuesday reviews days. We'll put those up up on bobbybones.com. bones, the question is, if you could steal one skill from any person in the world, you instantly have that skill. Whose would you take and why would you take it? You just get to go, boom. I'll take John Mayer's guitar playing skills. I'm not selecting that. But that can be a thing. It can be a musician if you want. Whose do you take? Why do you take It.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, Adele's voice.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a good one.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. It's so beautiful.

[Amy]

How would you use that?

[Lunchbox]

I'd sing. Be a singer, obviously.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'd be a star.

[Bobby Bones]

So that to you is the voice?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, maybe we've just been listening to a lot of her around the house. My son's sort of obsessed with Adele right now, so, yeah, she's top of mind for me, and I. I can't think of anybody that doesn't like Adele's voice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think I would take Steph Curry's shooting skills. I think he's the greatest shooter of all time. I think he's probably the only player now that has the greatest of all time skill. Like, active player. I think a football, like, a skill. Basketball, baseball. I mean. I mean, Ohtani. But he's got a couple skills.

[Lunchbox]

Do you have practice like he does, or you just have.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you just haven't. It's just in you.

[Lunchbox]

Cool.

[Bobby Bones]

So you have Adele's voice. I have Steph shooting skills.

[Lunchbox]

You don't even have to practice.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm in there.

[Lunchbox]

It's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Amy]

Elton John's piano skills, because people have pianos everywhere, right? Like, you walk into a house, I can kind of play, like, chords. I can sing, like Long December by Counting Crows. But to sit down and, like, just. And everyone be like, wow, he's so good. I wouldn't even go professional. I wouldn't go on tour. I would just do it so I can impress people when I go to their houses.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, until you wanted to make money, then you go on tour.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. You and Amy be touring together, right? Lunchbox man.

[Eddie]

I would love to have Johnny Banana's challenge skills, like the way he can navigate a season of the challenge. Like, he can come in as the underdog, have no one on his side, and turn the whole house to where he has protection everywhere and make it all the way to a final. And he's good at all the weird, like, challenges that they have, the daily challenges, the team challenges. He's great in a final, so I would take his skills on the challenge.

[Bobby Bones]

Of every skill of every human. That's the one you pick. I love it. What do you mean, original?

[Eddie]

That is huge.

[Amy]

Is he the goat of reality shows?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't.

[Eddie]

I don't even think he's the go to the challenge man.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so why won't you lunchbox his favorite, though?

[Amy]

Okay. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I mean, it's his. I'm totally down, Morgan.

[Morgan]

I think I would Go with Meryl Streep's acting skills. I've always wanted to be an actor, and she's so iconic and she's so good at every role she does that being able to, like, live a day in the life of Meryl Streep would be insane.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of range. Yeah, she's no Johnny Bananas.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no Chandler.

[Bobby Bones]

But a lot of range. Hey, Raymundo, whose skill would you steal? Give me Usain Bolt speed. Oh, that's a good one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Gosh, that's a good one. Just run. Fastest man in the world. I could use it in the Olympics.

[Eddie]

And then.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he's.

[Eddie]

He's old.

[Bobby Bones]

If you take it now, he does. He's not the fastest man in the world anymore. Right.

[Eddie]

He's retired.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you don't get him at their prime. You get him right now, but he's still gonna fly. Yeah, that's a five second rush you're not getting with anything else. Yeah, that's true.

[Lunchbox]

Abby, what skill would you steal Keith Urban's guitar playing?

[Eddie]

You should have said someone's voice. You need someone's voice.

[Bobby Bones]

You said Johnny Bananas. How are you judging anybody in this game?

[Eddie]

But she can play guitar. But she can't sing. It's not gonna help her.

[Amy]

She can sing, but.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Oh, so you were taking a shot at her voice more than you were her pick.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Got it. Yeah, I was gonna say we're taking shots at picks. Got it. You made it personal. Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

So with your voice. Yeah, I could sing Urban's playing. Because you can already sing, right?

[Lunchbox]

Like, I wanna. Well, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I want to sing to really good, like, guitar playing because I can only do basics, like three chords.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Yeah, I didn't understand, but now I get it. He was just being a joke. One more Mike D. I would take Mark Zuckerberg's programming skills. Like, I studied coding a little bit in college, but I feel if I would have applied myself more, I could have been better at it. So give me his skills question. Do you feel like he's still an elite programmer or has he gone so high up that he doesn't have to program anymore? No, I think nerds like that stay with it. I think he's still elite. Okay, there you go. The Johnny Bananas one's weird. It is. That's a weird one because you could have been a millionaire, like a multi millionaire with these skills.

[Amy]

You could have been Bezos.

[Eddie]

He's probably a millionaire.

[Bobby Bones]

I Have no idea. Johnny, I don't know that if you walked in, and I mean this in the most complimentary way possible, he wouldn't know who I was. I would. I don't know. I don't think I'd know who he.

[Eddie]

Is, man, you would find out real quick.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree.

[Eddie]

Let me see, Johnny. I'm trying to Google net worth. Let's see, he has to be a millionaire.

[Lunchbox]

But that's not accurate, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

We could be a few years out, Only a few years out from humanoid robots doing our chores. Now, this is from Engadget. And when Meta gets involved with things, because Meta is Facebook and Instagram, you start to believe there's some reality to it. And so Bloomberg has the list of things they think these robots will be able to do in the next few years. Not 20. A folding laundry, carrying glasses of water, putting dinnerware in the dishwasher. Other small home chores. Now, as I read more about it, they're working. One of the companies they're working with is the company that does that robot dog that already exists and they use. Doesn't have a dog head, but it has a dog body and is able to move around. And so the fact that they're working with a company that is already doing this and it's Meta that's doing it, that makes me feel like we're really probably only a few years away from that.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Pick one chore the robot could do.

[Lunchbox]

I kind of like my chores because I'm like, what am I gonna do when I need to procrastinate?

[Bobby Bones]

You like your chores, Watch something, you hang out, you do more work. I don't know anything other than chores.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I love, like, or when I'm stressed. I love vacuuming and stuff. Like, how am I gonna. I can't have a robot doing that for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. You know, as soon as robots exist, though, creepy dudes are gonna turn them.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. No, they will.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're gonna start making my robots. No.

[Lunchbox]

Like, my ex husband's company has one of those dog robots. And it's so cute. Like, I. When I hung out with it, I was like, I feel bad. Please don't ever.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like it's dangerous, like it's going to kill you.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. But also you're like, oh, look at it. It's sort of cute. And it starts walking and then you associate it since it looks like a dog, that it's a dog and you don't want it to go into, like any dangerous situations.

[Bobby Bones]

You care for it. You try to Feed it. I know you're hungry. Uh, so we had a guy in earlier, left his voicemail and he was like, I want to fly, but I'm scared to fly. I'm trying to get out of this work thing so you can listen to it on the podcast. I read him a bunch of data about plane crashes and car wrecks and all the things that pilots know and secondary things airplanes can do in case there is a crash. I did not bring up the Toronto plane because I don't. Was that a crash? I feel like it landed and because the. It was icy. It's weird. Yeah. No. And nobody died, but it's been a lot of air. And also, I didn't want to bring up another one because he was already scared. A Delta Airlines flight flipped upside down in Toronto. I can play you this clip. I did not bring this up with them because I. I don't feel like this was a plane crash. I felt like it was very windy, they had landed and it was icy and the plane flipped over because of the wind.

[Lunchbox]

I feel like.

[Bobby Bones]

Am I cherry picking?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you're cherry picking, but I think it's okay to not if you have a situation where someone's scared to fly. If you're like, well, guess what? This just in from last night.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. This is audio from the tower and the pilot. Go ahead. Clear the land. 2, 3, Endeavor 48, 19. We're going to wing him. Oh, yeah, okay, no problem. Are you able to go to 2000? We can give it a try for the weather link at once. This airplane just crashed. Two, three, play. One minute back.

[Eddie]

I got no traffic here, so just.

[Amy]

Let me know what you'd like to do.

[Eddie]

We just had a crash on Runway two.

[Bobby Bones]

It's right here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we've got it.

[Bobby Bones]

The aircraft starts upside down and burning. Yeah. They're so calm. Oh, yeah, we got a crash here.

[Amy]

None of those were the pilots burning.

[Bobby Bones]

It just says it's the tower and pilot. I don't know if it was the.

[Lunchbox]

Pilot or somebody that watched other.

[Amy]

Yeah, because you're right. They were very calm.

[Bobby Bones]

That was cool as cucumber. But we're upside down burn.

[Amy]

They're on fire. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's know if you can get out here anytime soon. Here. Nobody died. So again, when I talked about secondary things that can happen, there are a lot of things that can happen. It doesn't have to be plane hits ground, everybody dies. Which is what we think because we watch these stupid shows like Manifest where you're on a plane, next thing you know you land and it's 20 years later. That's what I worry about. You're over the ocean all of a sudden you're like, you get off the plane and everybody's got gray hair and you're like, what just happened? New details this morning. This is from wkrn. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

This now the fourth major aviation accident in North America in just the past three weeks. All 80 people on board survived after the jet flipped on its roof while landing at Toronto's Pearson Airport yesterday. Snow was being blown at the time by winds up to 40 miles per hour. Airport officials say at least 18 people were taken to the hospital according to paramedics. None of their injuries are considered to be life threatening overnight. Delta provided an update saying some of the customers have been released from the hospital and they've also sent their incident response team. The airline says they will not have any planned operational changes today. Now the FAA is, says that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada will lead this investigation.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't feel like it's a plane crash.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I feel like they used the word crash a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that's what gets clicks. It was, it was, it was a very unfortunate situation.

[Lunchbox]

The, the air traffic control look at. We got a plane crash on. Yeah, it's probably two.

[Bobby Bones]

You're probably right. I'm so scared to fly too that I'm just trying to talk myself out of it as well. That. Does this make national news if all the other stories aren't national news?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Do we have any trips coming up where we have to fly?

[Bobby Bones]

See, that's where it gets. You start to like freak yourself out because then you're putting yourself in these scenarios. I can read you the stats again. Like 1 in 100 chance you get in a bad car accident. 1 in what was 9 million you get in a plane crash pretty good. But this was like a plane, it was like a rollover plane.

[Amy]

What are the four major this year? Like she said.

[Bobby Bones]

So you had the one big one. Everybody died. That's what I was talking about this morning where I hit the helicopter going into dc. You had the small plane, the ambulance plane. And from Mexico.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

That crashed near Philadelphia. Those are the two. I remember. I just remember clicking the other ones. And there was another private.

[Lunchbox]

Well, there's the plane that went missing in Alaska, but it was found.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a small private plane as.

[Amy]

Well because I like those happen all the time.

[Lunchbox]

Was it found?

[Amy]

Yeah, they found. Lunchbox said they found it, but yeah, Lunchbox reported on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they all, they couldn't find them, and they died.

[Lunchbox]

I already forgot that part.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But again, that's a small private plane. We don't know one how credentialed the pilot was. Right. Because you can get a pilot's license and not have flown that much. American Airlines in D.C. on January 19th in Philadelphia, the medevac. That's what it's called, medevac.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

February 6th in Alaska. That's a good memory there. And then in Arizona, two private planes, small private planes collided. Was that the one with the motley crew?

[Amy]

That's got to be that. Yeah, I believe so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It was his plane. The lead singer, Motley Crue, and his girlfriend was on it. I think the pilot died there. The two planes hit each other. I think had that first one not happened, these small planes that are flipping over, I don't think that would be in the news as much as my only point. It feels like it's so much more, because when there's one big story, it's like, Morgan Wallen becomes massive hit. And then there are four artists. That sounds just like Morgan Wallen. So you got one massive tragedy. And every other tragedy now is like, well, let's make a bigger deal about it, because it's kind of like the other tragedy, and they're all tragedies. But I'm gonna go, not a plane crash with a Delta one. I'm gonna say it was a rollover accident.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, roll over what you want.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think I will. It's America.

[Amy]

I'm plan. Flipping over. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wind, right? Wind plane rolling over. When's that ever happen?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh, Bones.

[Minnie Driver]

What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast Mini Questions. Over the years, we have had some incredible guests. People like Courteney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved Six Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the uk Tony Blair. And now Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories, and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to Mini questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

On my TikTok algorithm, I get fed what I would call rough around the edges country music. It's a new genre, okay, where they're not that good in the classic sense, but they try really hard. Like I would put our friends Land Law, who I'm really rooting for. I hope they get a lot better because they have big passion. Two brothers from Arkansas.

[Lunchbox]

So wait, you're putting them in a category of like, rough around the edges?

[Bobby Bones]

They have a lot of work to do. They're probably a little earlier than they should be, but I got a lot of hope, okay? And these guys, and they got a really good song that we like this country to the bone and the Hollows, where we call our Home country as it gets. If it's broke around here, we just fix it. Apple pie, moonshine, jam. It's called rough around the edges country.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think because of them you're getting fed more?

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely, because I'm land law to the bone. And so now I just. And they're, they're, they're good and rough around the edges country. You know, they have these subcategories of countries.

[Amy]

Oh, sure, sure. Yeah, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I get some people that I'm like, is this even serious? It's my algorithm now just feeds me really terrible people. I think my standards are getting lower now because I just. See, I used to work on a golf course. Let me give you an example here. I did like maintenance on a golf course. I did traps and mowed greens, a lot of weed eater, a lot of mowing. And it was all old people all the time because it was in a retirement community. So if there was a woman who was like 52 hottie over on hole number eight, we'd be calling her. There's a hottie. She's boys, she's young and hot. She's like 52. And I'm like, it 18, 19 year old kid. But my standards were lower because everybody was 100 years old. So when there was a 52 year old, I'm like, wow, we got a young one over here, boys. I think I got so much rough around the edges country that my standards are getting lower.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all I get fed.

[Lunchbox]

So when you get like mediocre, you're like, we gotta go.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, we gotta go. Give him a deal. Yeah, I'll sign on myself. I'll create a label. Sign on myself. Okay, but I'm big Landlor guy. Hashtag, landlord forever. But yeah, that's all. I just wonder if you guys get fed that or if it's just me.

[Lunchbox]

I don't have.

[Amy]

I get some of it.

[Bobby Bones]

You do?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife last night was like, do you ever get fed POV on TikTok? And I'm like, no. And she showed me. She goes, wow, I get a lot of this. It's so cool. AI does POVs of coal miner in 1856. And it's like they wake up in the morning what their day looks like.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

It's. It's awesome.

[Lunchbox]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's like, you don't get this. I'm like, no, I don't get that. So all our algorithms are giving us what we want or what they think we might want. That we haven't been exposed to yet. But I thought the POV stuff was really cool. Anybody get pov? Look it up. It's awesome.

[Lunchbox]

That's how I learned things.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry about that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Point of view, like POV of, you know, someone that was living during the Great Depression.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Same as coal miner probably, but yeah, very, very close.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I'm just trying to think back of things like that would be helpful to learn. Like pov like you're. Oh, Abraham Lincoln.

[Bobby Bones]

Pov. You're a chef at a five star restaurant and it's all the things coming and going and. But it. Anyway, rough around the edges and pov. That's what I'm doing on Tick tock right now. A woman in Daphne, Alabama was arrested for stealing $20,000 in cash from a woman she was caring for. But she replaced that $20,000 in cash with movie money. The fake movie money, which looks so real because we had some up here. I could for sure see how you'd be fooled by that. She stole over $20,000 from the victim, used the prop money. The crime was discovered when the victim noticed the counter bills, which police say are usually seen in drug investigations, but not in cases like this. Man, good eye. Because I would have never noticed it. I would have tried to use it. You see, people are now tipping more with this fake money. Have you seen that story where waiters.

[Lunchbox]

And they probably don't keep going.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not. Yeah, I know. Because it looks so real.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I would. Just because you're so busy and on the go. Like I would maybe not notice it.

[Amy]

Till later instead of in God we trust. It says improps. We trust.

[Bobby Bones]

It does on the bill. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know that. Little things like that in Alabama. A gun discharged. We had two Alabamas in a row. A gun discharged inside a second grader's backpack. The bullet shot out and hit another student's backpack where it thankfully was stopped by that student's laptop. No one was injured. The student with the gun was not able to explain how it got there. I wonder how old the kid is. Second grade, Eight years old. So probably you're old enough to take it if you see it. Probably not. A parent hiding it in there and.

[Lunchbox]

Then feel bad about it and be like, I don't know how it got there.

[Bobby Bones]

Police said the kid was not able to explain. Further investigation could not determine how the firearm was placed in the backpack. That's from AL.com. luckily, no kid was hit a 42 year old woman of Florida was arrested for firing a BB gun at two teens riding their dirt bikes near her home. Just the headline alone to me does not seem like she should be arrested. That sounds normal if it's just a BB gun. But let's go further in. A Vero beach woman was arrested for firing a BB gun at two teens riding their dirt bikes near a house. Indian river county sheriff's deputies responded to the disturbance. Deputies located the two teens who told them as they were riding past a house that somebody stood outside and pointed a gun in their direction. They heard two loud bangs, which they assumed was the gun being fired. Neither BB pellet hit the teens on their bikes.

[Amy]

Loud bangs, BB gun.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like.

[Amy]

Like, that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

One of the teens took a video of the incident and it does show her in the front yard yelling, go home right now. She probably has a gun in her hand. So deputies contacted her. She said, yeah, she was holding the BB gun to scare them off. But she said, I didn't fire the weapon. The BB gun was found with pellets inside of it. I mean, she didn't hit the kids. It's also a BB gun and they may be on our property. I'm gonna give her a very light sentence. Pick up trash for a date. We'll call it even. Don't, but don't do it again. WPBF with that story. Parenting experts say the next time your kid is angry, use this magic phrase to calm them down. The phrase is, I see you're upset now I'm here for you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

The phrase may seem simple, but it carries a lot of power. It does three things at once. It acknowledges their feelings, reassures them they're not alone, and creates space to calm down without feeling judged. I see you're upset right now. I'm here for you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that would also work for me.

[Bobby Bones]

That's From 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child by Jeffrey Bernstein, PhD. So you're saying for adults too?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think especially if you didn't get that as a child, you may need to be reminded that as an adult, like, I see that you're upset.

[Bobby Bones]

And what's the back part of it? I see you're upset and don't shoot. What is it?

[Amy]

No, it's not don't shoot me.

[Lunchbox]

Don't shoot me with a BB guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Get my stories mixed up here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's.

[Bobby Bones]

I see.

[Amy]

I understand. Wait, was it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I need to write this down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I tossed my story to The.

[Amy]

Is this what we're.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's what it is. I see you're upset right now. I'm here for you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you are safe.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now we're adding to it when this scammer called. You are safe. On Wednesday, a woman gave birth on a New York City subway train around 11:30am the unidentified 25 year old reportedly dropped to the floor. Several people rushed over to check on her. Others went to the conductor urging him to stop. You're a conductor if you run a subway. That's cool.

[Amy]

I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

Me either. I didn't even think there were people on it. Just robots. Moments later, a baby could be heard crying. One passenger even whipped out a pocket knife to cut the umbilical cord.

[Amy]

Whoa, whoa.

[Eddie]

That's legit.

[Lunchbox]

But I'd be like, you know what.

[Amy]

You'Re doing and is it clean?

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. The name of the baby girl hasn't been released.

[Amy]

Oh, it's got to be subway, right?

[Bobby Bones]

ABC7 New York.

[Lunchbox]

No, whatever. Stop it is maybe.

[Amy]

Oh, right, right. Madison Avenue.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, Madison's.

[Lunchbox]

That'd be cute.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a cool name. Matt Stell is on the Bobby cast this week. He's got number ones like prayed for you. We talk about his life growing up in a small town and going to college and you know, he. His first interest was heavy red dirt. That's what he did. That's what he wrote. That's what he toured to do forever. And he talked about how prayed for you wasn't exactly the type of song he thought would be his first hit.

[Eddie]

I wasn't a person on the radio at the end. We put that song out and that EP out. If I'm being honest, I wanted that song to be a multi week number one for Blake Shelton or for whoever. Like, I thought that's what I was doing. And so when that song hit like it did, we started getting calls from some labels and we got a call and signed a deal and blah, blah, blah. I always want to make music that mattered to people, but I never thought I was going to be as someone who wrote one of the bigger wedding songs.

[Bobby Bones]

It's interesting because his whole career it was like I was red dirt guy trying to write red dirt songs. All my heroes are red dirt guys. And then we write the song called prayed for you. And I did not expect that to be the song that just launched. Now I'm having. He's in a good place with it, but he's like, now I'm singing this ballad all the Time that I never really thought would represent me, but it's so good. It's so good when he plays it. Matt. Still, this is prayed for you Bobby Bones show. He is a guest on the Bobby cast this week. So search it out. Bobby cast. One word. Subscribe. Listen to that interviews. Really cool. Thank you, guys. This is called the selfish wheel. And so everybody's name's on the wheel. And I've not spoken to any of you about this bit, but you're gonna see this is one of those try it out segments. So everybody's name's on the wheel. This is not a bad wheel. This is a good wheel today.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

This is called the selfish wheel.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So I will spin the wheel, whomever it lands on. You'll get to do a segment on whatever you want.

[Amy]

Anything.

[Bobby Bones]

You can be as selfish as you want.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, how do we know?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it lands on you.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

You talk about whatever you want to talk about.

[Lunchbox]

Let's decide. Whatever we want.

[Bobby Bones]

Be as selfish as you want. So much so that I don't know what you would talk about if it landed on you. What you can't do is something like a free commercial. I look at lunch, I look at all you guys, but I really just focus on lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like slide in something. Like code is lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it's something that you would normally want to suggest. And you're like, ah, that probably wouldn't get on the show. It doesn't matter. It's called the selfish wheel. So we'll spin it. You do not have to have anything prepared. So don't feel like now if you don't have something. But I also don't want to know. So I don't know about. Again, this is experiment day. I don't know if I would give you guys a heads up if we're going to do it or not, because I think it may take away some of that. Some of the fun of wondering kind of where everybody's head is if you're preparing. Okay, everybody. Good.

[Amy]

I'm a little more confused now, but I think I understand.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so it's just going to land on your name and you can talk about whatever you want. Well, you don't have to just go. You literally can take a second and go, you know what? I'd like to talk about this.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And okay.

[Lunchbox]

Why does this feel weird?

[Bobby Bones]

And let's see how it goes. All right, here we go.

[Eddie]

Let's spin that wheel.

[Amy]

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so what? Eddie, Eddie, you Got the selfish will. Today, you can talk about whatever you want. It can be about your uncle and his band.

[Amy]

Oh, my. Theo Fufa.

[Bobby Bones]

It can be about your kids. It can be about any injury you have. It literally could be a segment that was maybe not rejected outwardly but never got used. It doesn't matter.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But it can be whatever you want.

[Amy]

I think I have something.

[Bobby Bones]

What would you like to talk about?

[Amy]

And the reason I probably wouldn't want to talk about it is because you guys would make fun of me, and you probably wouldn't believe me, but something has happened to me, and I swear this is real.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we still might make fun of you. You don't. Yeah, there's no immunity here.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But. Okay, go ahead.

[Amy]

So I have a bird feeder in the back. Amy knows all about this. Amy's bird lady. I have a bird feeder in the back. I've been feeding birds for months. I would say about four or five months now. I swear, these birds know my face. I'm dead serious. Because if the kids go out there, like, the kids go in the backyard, the birds, they take off.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay?

[Amy]

I walk out there, I'm snow white. They look at me and they're like, huh? Keep eating. It's the weirdest thing ever. And I have these bird feeders on my window that are right by my living room. When I'm sitting there watching tv, dude, they come up, they eat, they stare at me while I'm watching tv. My wife's there. They see her, whoa, they take off. I think birds know our faces, and they say, hey, you know what? Hey, that's Bobby. Oh, he's cool. I've known Bobby for years.

[Bobby Bones]

And they tell their other boys and girls, like, guys, we're all good here.

[Amy]

Dude, I've been flying around Bobby's window forever. He's cool. He won't kill you.

[Bobby Bones]

But if the kids come out, the birds act different. Absolutely.

[Eddie]

What kind of birds are we talking?

[Amy]

Blue jays, cardinals, chickadees, Carolina titmouses. You're talking all kinds of birds. Sparrows, finches. I saw a tufted. No, it was a tufted titmouse. A tufted titmouse the other day. So cute.

[Lunchbox]

So cute.

[Bobby Bones]

You saw a pair of titmouses?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Okay, so they do.

[Bobby Bones]

Do they know a face or do they know a smell? Do they know a scent?

[Lunchbox]

They can recognize faces. They've even said that pigeons can recognize people even if they change clothes. So it's not about having a yellow shirt and they recognize it. It's facial recognition.

[Bobby Bones]

So for the record, I would have never put this on the show. Right.

[Amy]

Because it's boring. Fun of me. No, they know your face.

[Bobby Bones]

It still can be boring, and we still can make fun of you. But I didn't know this, and I think I probably at the risk of putting it on live shows, like, I don't know where this is gonna go. I don't even know the options. And if I were to mostly out percentage it in my head, what's the percentage? This is boring. 73%.

[Amy]

But is that your true number? 73%, probably.

[Bobby Bones]

If I were to weigh it out. But I don't feel like it's that boring. No, I don't either, because I like to learn things. So I'm gonna say, can birds.

[Amy]

Recognize.

[Bobby Bones]

Recognize people?

[Amy]

Yeah. That's good.

[Lunchbox]

Also, while Bobby's looking that up.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

We should be considering the fact that Eddie lost his dad. And what if his dad is one of these bir.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing too much. Which titmouse is your dad?

[Amy]

He's one of the tufted titmouses.

[Bobby Bones]

He thought it'd be funny to be a titmouse.

[Amy]

That would totally be him too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, many birds can recognize individual people, especially those they interact with regularly. Facial recognition studies show that birds, like crows, pigeons, and magpies can remember human faces and distinguish between friendly and threatening individuals. Voice recognition. Some birds, like parrots and crows, can recognize familiar voices and respond differently to them. Behavioral memory. If a person feeds them or treats them kindly, birds may associate that person with a positive experience.

[Amy]

That's us.

[Bobby Bones]

Conversely, if someone scares them, they'll remember that and avoid them.

[Amy]

That's the kids.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a list of smart birds that can recognize people. And it's probably not all of them, but they list crows and ravens. Apparently, these crows are. Crows are smart in the GE class. Yeah, for sure.

[Amy]

Nobody likes crows too. It's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because they fly around trying to eat dead stuff.

[Amy]

Mm.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. They're black. And they're associated with.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's the association.

[Lunchbox]

But really, they are very smart.

[Bobby Bones]

Crows and ravens, pigeons, parrots. I don't know I've ever seen a magpie. Do I know what a magpie is? Are they here where we live?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I have not seen one of those in my feeder.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you're kind to a bird, don't be surprised if it remembers you. Oh, a magpie. I mean, it doesn't look like something I haven't seen. I just haven't spent much attention to birds. Like, I wouldn't know a titmouse from a butt mouse.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you would know a tufted titmouse.

[Amy]

Once you start looking at birds, though, like, you will be like, oh, yeah, it's the titmouse.

[Bobby Bones]

I see a tufted titmouse. Now can I see the other titmouse?

[Lunchbox]

I've definitely never seen a magpie. These are beautiful. I would remember if I saw one of these.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, what are the other. What are the other titmouses at your house?

[Amy]

Carolina titmouse.

[Lunchbox]

I've only had tufted come to mind.

[Amy]

I think it's just tufted.

[Bobby Bones]

There's such a. A bird following here between you two. It's like 40 of the whole room here.

[Amy]

But it's crazy because, like, you're probably.

[Lunchbox]

Thinking of the Carolina chickadee.

[Amy]

Oh, is that the Carolina chickadee?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

They look.

[Amy]

Those are the little ones.

[Lunchbox]

Small.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. That's crazy. You know what these birds are?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I used to play bird bingo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know.

[Jon Stewart]

Did you stop?

[Amy]

Well, I mean, he's got a lot of bingos.

[Lunchbox]

I was.

[Bobby Bones]

She was the only one playing, dude. She got bingo every time. She won every time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I. I had. I chilled out a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I was depressed, but that's an activity.

[Lunchbox]

It was. It was good for me during the time that I had that. I. I still have my birds, and I love them, but I don't. I don't play bird bingo anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

That's okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I mean, you know a lot about birds, though, which is crazy. Both of you guys do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So are you a bird watcher, Morgan?

[Morgan]

Yeah, well, my dad always has.

[Bobby Bones]

We.

[Morgan]

We buy him bird feeders every year for Christmas. He has a whole thing. He's like Snow White back there. But I was actually gonna say, have you heard the story about pigeons?

[Bobby Bones]

Give it to me.

[Morgan]

How pigeons used to be domesticated, and then one day, everybody, just because they used to be carrier pigeons so people would own them, and then everybody just basically let them loose. And now, Pinjit, when you see pigeons, that's why they love people so much, is because they used to be domesticated.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't know that. You know, I've seen carrier pigeons on a lot of shows, like Game of Thrones. Unbelievable if that's true.

[Amy]

Like, they really sent messages to someone.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like how they knew to come back. Yeah. They were called homing pigeons, too. So they were absolutely real. They played a major role in communication for centuries. This blows my mind. That a bird. I can't get my dog to come back much Less I'm gonna send a bird off that I cannot communicate with. Certain pigeons have a natural ability to find their way home from long distances using the Earth's magnetic field and visual landmarks.

[Amy]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Messages were written on small pieces of paper, but I don't know how to get them to where they're going, though. Like, I could understand a bird coming back home, but how do you get it to go to Dairy Queen? Like, how do you say Dairy Queen?

[Lunchbox]

Can you look that up?

[Bobby Bones]

Messages were written on small pieces of paper placed in tiny tubes and attached to the pigeon's leg. The pigeon would then. Oh, they would mostly just send them back home. So they would take the pigeon with them, and most of the messages were sent back home.

[Amy]

That makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

So that would.

[Lunchbox]

So it would know you would bring it with you?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, yes.

[Lunchbox]

And it would know how to get.

[Bobby Bones]

Back home, but it wouldn't know how to get to Dairy Queen because that's too many things.

[Amy]

That's too much.

[Eddie]

Wasn't Mike Tyson training pigeons at one point? Yeah.

[Amy]

Yes. He was really close to pigeons. And then when he was a kid, one of his bullies killed one of his pigeons. And that's when he learned, like, to get rageful. And he beat up this kid. And that's kind of like, man, I can kind of fight for a living.

[Bobby Bones]

Because of a pigeon.

[Amy]

Just because the kid killed his pigeon.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm one amazed that carrier pigeons were real. I wouldn't have fought you over it. I would have been like, I do not know. I've seen enough shows that it plants the seed, that it could possibly be real. But then I would have maybe argued, well, they don't know how to get places if they've never been, so that can't be real. But then to read that you would take them places with you and send messages home so you travel out with them and send them back.

[Amy]

That's so smart.

[Lunchbox]

So the last pigeon post service in the world closed down in 2008.

[Bobby Bones]

What? Used by the Romans, Egyptians and Persians, medieval period, World wars in World War I and 2. Pigeons save lives. In the 19th century, newspapers used pigeons to get stock market and sports results faster. They'd go to games and stuff and send a pigeon back to the place it lived at, the newspaper center. This is wild, but isn't it even.

[Morgan]

Like, crazier that we just stopped using them? And now you just have a bunch of think about, like, dogs. We all domesticate them, right? And then we all just stopped having our dogs. That's like pigeons Now, I would say.

[Bobby Bones]

The reason they did is because their use was no longer needed. So if male horses, male carriers happened, you don't need the pigeons to do it as much. And why would you have a pigeon as a pet? Mostly you had as a pet to send messages.

[Amy]

You think the pigeon was like, whoa. Like, why am I not needed anymore?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm outside.

[Amy]

I got fired today.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm outside pigeon now. What the crap? Yeah, that's wild. Okay, see, this was interesting. Yeah, no, we had a little room.

[Amy]

Little space for the bit to breathe.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's the selfish will. Okay, everybody.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You never know when the selfish will is going to come out.

[Amy]

Oh, boy. Got to come up with another one of these.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you don't have to come up with anything. Just see where your mind takes you. I encourage you not to come up with anything. Just see where your mind takes you. Bones.

What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Mini Questions. Over the years, we've had some incredible guests. People like Courteney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, egot winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the UK Tony Blair. And now Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe and Cord Jefferson.

Bobby Bone Show.

[Eddie]

Bonehead Story of the Day this story comes to us from Wisconsin. A man broke into a house, stole the keys to a BMW and he takes off. Police are called. They see the BMW on the highway. High speed chase. He gets in a neighborhood, ditches the car. Cops can't find him. Except footprints in the snow lead him to a backyard and there he is, hiding in the garden.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you do though? Let's say you have to steal the car. All that's done. Okay, don't steal cars, kids. All the good stuff, right? You steal the car, you got to get away. You're in the snow. What do you do?

[Lunchbox]

Slither like a snake.

[Eddie]

But you still your path would still.

[Bobby Bones]

That everybody in the town freaks out of the gigantic serpent now running. Yeah, I know, but you want to do it hastily and slithering. I guess you're in. Unless you're really good at the worm.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just saying they may be like, oh yeah, that's like a weird. Or you roll like your way.

[Bobby Bones]

Now we're talking a little more. Okay, rolling makes a little more.

[Amy]

But they still know where you're rolling to.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know, they track you.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. You track a roll.

[Lunchbox]

They're going to be like, where are the footprints? They're not gonna be like, yeah, they're.

[Bobby Bones]

Not gonna go, what's that long 5 foot 9 length of wide thing?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Even though it's coming from the Car.

[Eddie]

Well, it's where the footprints end and the roll begins.

[Bobby Bones]

I think what you have to do.

[Lunchbox]

Mess up some of the footprints.

[Bobby Bones]

You have to get to, like, a part of a road where there's not as much snow, run down it for a second, and then jump into where some other people have walked.

[Amy]

There we go.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think that's what I would probably do quickly. I mean, the serpent, the snake. Excellent idea. The roll, not terrible. But I think if I had to think fast, I would try to jump on the road where cars were real quick, run down it away from the car, and then find where other footprints were and use that to at least start my run.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you feel about that?

[Lunchbox]

That could work. Or if you could be like, can you walk on your tippy, tippy, tippy toes? And then they think you're a deer.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Or a dog.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Thank you, Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been obsessed with this asteroid, and maybe a week and a half or so ago, NASA was like, there's a 1.3% chance it's gonna hit Earth. A few days later, they were like, there's a 2.6% chance it's gonna hit Earth. And I'm like, well, how did that jump so quick? So here is YouTuber and science communicator Hank Green talking about this asteroid that I've been obsessed with.

[I]

The current NASA projection is that there is a slightly more than 2% chance that this object will hit Earth. An important additional piece of context, because we don't really feel this way because we live our lives where we live them. Most of the Earth is empty, so about 3% of the Earth is cities, and a lot of the Earth is the ocean. Now we actually know where this object, if it were to land on Earth, we have, like, an idea of where it would hit. It would hit around the equator, and it would hit in an area that stretches from. From South America all the way to India. It wouldn't hit in all of those places. It would hit in one of those places, and we don't know which one it would be. Over the last 50 years, we have built up an asteroid monitoring system, or, like, an object monitoring system that figures out where stuff is and where it's headed so that we can know when stuff like this is happening. We live in a moment where we have very powerful rockets that could potentially launch a mission to stop this.

[Bobby Bones]

So the fact they have an asteroid monitoring system is crazy. Like, who's the first one to go. We figured this out. We can monitor an asteroid from five years away and know exactly where it's gonna land. That's wild that we have the technology to do that now. They have like hit an asteroid before and just like moved it a little bit, very Armageddon style. And they say this one probably won't destroy Earth, but it doesn't mean that it won't kill a whole lot of people if it lands there because it is large. But again, it's only 2 point something percent chance. But the fact that it jumped a whole percent blows my mind. And then we can monitor where this thing is going. Blows my mind. It's crazy because it's not until 2032, you know, about seven years from now.

[Amy]

We got time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that's what everybody thinks. Until seven years from now happens.

[Amy]

We run out of time.

[Bobby Bones]

That's always like when they announced the Olympic cities. You're like, well, they happen in forever. Next thing you know, they're having the Olympics there.

[Lunchbox]

Should we live it up the next seven years?

[Amy]

For sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so again, it's not going to really hit us, but it will hit the South America spot. But things are going to happen and the people may have to come up here.

[Amy]

Yeah. What do you think about that 3% occupied Earth number?

[Bobby Bones]

That's kind of weird. I think though, what they're saying is it could still affect the cities. It just may not hit there because if it hits that big, it's going to create dust and cloud, ocean, tidal waves. Sure. Unless it's like right in the middle of the ocean. But I'm fascinated. I can't stop watching the story. I'll let you guys know if it changes.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll be watching it every day.

[Amy]

You get the Monitor at home.

[Bobby Bones]

Some people watch stock market. I'm watching this every single day to see if it goes up or down. And we will see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
