Come on Transmitting Across America. Welcome to Wednesday Show Morning Studio Morning. Now I made a New Year's resolution that I was going to be late to work at least twice this year because I haven't been late and I don't think 20 years and I was about two minutes for being late today. I was not late. I came in on time. I'M a bit frazzled. I got a flat tire on the way to work. Whoa, Big one. Wait, and you still made it? I did, I did make it on time.
Lunchbox
That's the crazy part.
Bobby Bones
No, a little bit of me wanted to just stall it out, but I came in even just two minutes before late, I was just like frazzled and I couldn't get my stuff and it was a big boom. It was a pothole. Because when it gets cold, there's things that happen with the pavement where it like separates and grows and holes happen. And that's science. Yeah, you're welcome. But it was like boom. And then all of a sudden it's like, oh golly. How far from work were you? Great, great question. I was probably like three. No, not from work, from here, from my house. I mean, sorry. From my house. I was probably like almost a mile from my house. So. Long enough. But I thought, I'm about to go back home. So I took the car, turned it around, drove it from a. On the wheel. You kept driving it on the wheel.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's not good. Oh boy, that can dent the guys.
Bobby Bones
I'm familiar. But I needed to get to. I needed to get to work.
Lunchbox
Well, I thought you were going to say you pulled over, got out, ran.
Bobby Bones
Home, changed the tire. No, I wasn't going to do that cuz I needed to get here. I feel bad first of all, for just everybody that has to hit a pothole. Because what happens here is cuz we had like some snowish, some rainish and so it ends up going into the ground and, and then freezes and then boom, potholes happen and they're everywhere. And all the roads that we take, I drove it back home, parked up beside the house, jumped in my wife's car, drove to work. This morning was almost late, but I'm very happy that I was close enough to home to get it back to the house. Like I wasn't even upset and like, man, life sucks. I was like, I'm so fortunate that I was able to be close enough to home that I was able to get it back. It reminds me a bit of the old farmer and the horse parable. You guys familiar with it? No. So this is like, I'm gonna paraphrase it, it's like an ancient Chinese parable. There was once a farmer who, he had a massive farm, but he had no horses. And all of a sudden a horse shows up and the horse is there and it's a wild horse. And he's like, I guess I'll Keep it. And so the neighbors are like, wow, you gotta wild horse that you. You now get to use on your property to help till your land is. They're like, that's such great news. And he's like, probably, maybe, you never know. Well, his son is riding it the next day and trying to break the horse. And the horse throws his son and the son lands on his arm, breaks his arm. And the neighbor comes over and goes, oh, man, that horse, that's kind of crazy. Maybe it wasn't so good. Like that's bad news. Your son ended up breaking his arm. And he's like, I don't know, maybe you never know. The next day, General rides into town. He's like, hey, we're starting a militia and we need your son to serve in our military. And it was a bad deal. Probably a lot of people were going to die in this. And so the son comes out and he's got a broken arm. And he's not able to go and fight with him because he has a broken arm. The general's like, we can't take your son. He has a broken arm. And the neighbor hears this and goes, oh, you're so lucky because your son has a broken arm and can't go serve in the military. And the guy's like, yeah, probably, maybe. And the whole part of this story is that you never really know what's going to happen based on good or bad things happening to you. Like, if something bad happens, it could be really part of something much greater and grander in your life or something good happens. You know, don't get Big Britches, because then what happens is it could lead to something that possibly isn't the best for your future. So you never really. Never really know. So it's just about living life and being fluid. And I got my flat and I was like, man, this sucks. Maybe you don't know. But then I was close enough to get home and I got my wife's car and I came in and guess what? In her car, she had a granola bar that hadn't even been eaten. Oh, wow, that was good. Maybe came from. Hey, maybe you're so lucky. Yeah, I get food poison.
Lunchbox
What does this make possible?
Bobby Bones
Wow. Yes. So interesting. I got a flat tire this morning. I was not late. I'm here, we're going to do the stupid show and I'm going to go get it fixed after. And who knows, maybe today as the person is fixing my flat tire, I. He dropped some knowledge on me. He's like, hey, maybe you should go to your little app and invest in this. And I go, okay, cool. And I. Yeah, make thousands of dollars maybe.
Lunchbox
Speaking of horses, that's like this woman I knew when I lived in Southern Pines, North Carolina. She fell off her horse. It's a big horse town. And broke her collarbone. Really good rider. It was a freak accident. Shouldn't have happened. And then she went to the doctor for a collarbone and they discovered a cancer in there that they wouldn't have seen otherwise until it was too late. So. Saved her life.
Bobby Bones
Events are often interconnected and we really don't know what's going to happen. A lot of times we assign what has happened instead of what possibly could, may or may not happen. So just get on the surfboard and ride. Yeah, well, I broke my arm on Saturday and nothing good has happened.
Lunchbox
Wait for it, though.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, wait for it.
Lunchbox
Maybe it has happened.
Bobby Bones
Maybe the militia comes to your house today. It's like we're looking for 45 year olds to fight in the war. And you're like, can't do it, man. Can't do it. Send it into the mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I love dogs, but if I recently went on a first date with a woman who showed up with her dog, would that be weird? The date was grabbing food and luckily the restaurant was pet friendly. But she didn't tell me, and I was a little annoyed because what if I wanted to do a non dog activity later on? I think bringing your dog really dictates the rest of the date, and that's something I think you need to be given a heads up on. How would you feel about going on a date with someone who randomly brought his or her dog? Should I keep it from going with her on a second date? What if she brings a random kid next time?
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
This is very different from Dalton the dater.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Hey, look, here's the thing. If this is an issue, she's very much dog person. That dog is always going to be a part of your life if you date. Marry her. I think doing something like that on the first date is perfect because you're saying right off the bat I'm big dog person.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, could it be annoying? Yeah. If you're not a dog person. But.
Lunchbox
And maybe it was her way to not do something with you after the date in case it was terrible.
Bobby Bones
Or. Yeah, she just loves her dog though, too. Yeah.
Lunchbox
But yeah, I'm just saying, he's like, oh, she ruined. If our date goes well and I had other plans, I was trying to.
Bobby Bones
Get you Know she ain't for you, bud. If you have a problem with her bringing her dog, if it's that much of a problem, you're not enough of a dog person that she needs in her life. Morgan, you are with your dog all the time. Yeah, I am. First of all, ever taking your dog on a date?
Lunchbox
I have a first date.
Bobby Bones
Without telling the person. No, he.
Lunchbox
He suggested that I bring her, actually.
Bobby Bones
That's a baller move. If you know that. What do you say to this guy?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I. I agree with Bobby. I don't think you guys are for each other. Because if a.
Bobby Bones
If a guy say I go on a first date and he brings his.
Lunchbox
Dog, it's going to be the best surprise ever.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to be so happy to.
Lunchbox
See that dog, regardless of whatever our.
Bobby Bones
Plans are or what you want to happen. So because you're not, it just tells me that you guys kind of see.
Lunchbox
That a little bit differently already. So I think maybe, you know, we go separate ways.
Bobby Bones
If she brought a random kid, then you would know she takes a kid everywhere.
Lunchbox
And she also has a kid.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she has a kid. Get the kid. It's random. Oh, yeah. It's only random to him. I don't think to her too, though. All right, there you go. There's a voicemail from yesterday. Good morning, studio.
Lunchbox
I was listening to the podcast over.
Bobby Bones
The weekend and hearing Dan and Shay sing the public domain songs literally gave me chills.
Lunchbox
It was so good.
Bobby Bones
Please keep doing this. Thank you. A new strategy, because on podcast, we can't put music because that stuff that you have to pay for on demand with a music service, so they sue us. But then I thought, well, what music can we put up? And it's free public domain music that has been around for over 100 years. And they sang like, bi n g o. Go listen to it on that podcast. I hope you like it because we're going to try to do that more. All right, give me another one. I'm about a month behind on the podcast, but I hope to God Bobby has been buying lottery tickets every single day. I hope Lunchbox cries like a little girl. Sucks to be Lunchbox a loser. I haven't hit yet. Listen, don't jinx me. I don't even care what he said. I'm just saying that was aggressive. Yeah. Yeah, so is he. I haven't hit yet. And so when I do hit, please call back. But aggression meets aggression. I don't think he'd be that way if he wasn't that way. And they'd probably be friends in real life.
Lunchbox
Probably.
Bobby Bones
I haven't hit those, so he's not a loser yet. If I hit one for over a thousand, please call in. Go hard. Let's go, baby. But we haven't. I'll scratch another one. Coming up, here's Amy's pile of stories.
Lunchbox
You can now earn your social media. If you feel like you have a problem with it, you can download this app called Stepn. It's created by this guy, Paul English, who went on vacation with his family and he realized everyone's glued to their phones and it's such beautiful scenery out, we need to start walking. So he's like, ah, that's an idea. The more you walk, it unlocks your social media for you.
Bobby Bones
That's good in theory. I feel like, though, if I didn't earn it, I'd be like, I sure wish I had earned it. Ah, screw it. I'm deleting the app and going, I like it though. If you have the discipline to live by it, I think that's pretty good.
Lunchbox
There's even a leaderboard so you can see, oh, now I'm in social media the least among your friends.
Bobby Bones
I would never get on for 10 years. I would download the app and never get on for 10 years just to win. That's awesome.
Lunchbox
And future updates are going to let you log other activities, like yoga to earn screen time. But currently it's just steps. So a new report says that aggressive baby names are trending. Some examples include Blade Cannon, Cutter, Dagger Cutter, Gunner, Danger, and Arson.
Bobby Bones
If you name your kid arson, that's trouble. We need to investigate deeper into what you're about. Some of them just because of the last 10 years. I've heard those names. Or maybe longer. Like a Gunner. I've heard that before. There are a couple.
Lunchbox
I have a nephew named Gunner, but he's named after Gunnison, Colorado.
Bobby Bones
Sure. Mostly it's a nickname, right? But if you're. If it's arson or Cut, like, that's probably something we need to look into.
Lunchbox
They say that it's for this whole renegade spirit. Parents are trying to adopt that vibe for their children. And other names that are in the mix, but they're not quite as aggressive, are like cowboy names like Maverick, Dutton, Stetson and Boone.
Bobby Bones
I don't mind those because it's.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Not just wiping out people with like, like little Bazooka Dagger. Yeah. Okay. What else?
Lunchbox
Speaking of parents, Jelly Rol has advice for those of us that have kids. He was on flagrant podcast talking about what we need to do to survive parenting.
Bobby Bones
It's important for y'all to find time to not be parents. A little night out with some wine or a weekend away at a hotel, a staycation or this. That's not enough. You need every hour like, we're college kids again. It is a backbone of something me and Bunny have stood by. It's like more parents 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, every now and then. I just don't need to be one. Probably easier, too, when they get a little older, because I think Jelly Rol. Bunny's kids are a little older now, too.
Lunchbox
Yeah, when your kids get older, you're able to kind of escape a little more. But he said, yeah, get silly, get kicked out of hotels, and be a college kid again.
Bobby Bones
Wait, what? Make the news. Yeah, he went pretty drastic there, huh? Okay.
Lunchbox
I think he's trying to make a point.
Bobby Bones
All right, that's it.
Lunchbox
I'm Amy. That's my pile.
Bobby Bones
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. It was a high school basketball game in Oklahoma earlier this month, and his kid Randy, who's a sophomore, fell into cardiac arrest three minutes into the game. So this happens while he's playing. He goes down this kid on the other team named Magnus. He's a senior, but he's also a trained lifeguard. As soon as the kid goes down, the kid from the other team runs over and grabs the defibrillator. Let's go. Because he'd been trained on it and knew exactly what to do. And even if the kid didn't need it, he had it there just in case. But the kid needed it. So boom, he pops him. Then they give him cpr. The kid is saved. Like, this all happens on the court in front of everybody. And I was curious, who won the game? That wasn't in the article, because I wanted to know, like, did the kid also, like, put up 25 and 10? I know. Regardless. What a great story of a kid. I mean, it's. It's interesting because it's the other team, but it's not like you're gonna go, ah, he's not on my team. I'm gonna let him die. But that he was a lifeguard and knew what to do and ran and just fell right into it. So, you know, everybody's praising all their actions. And the two kids finally got to meet after that. And I don't know. I think it's Pretty cool. Pretty cool for the parents of every kid, the kid whose life was saved and the kid who did the saving, and then the other people too, who helped with the cpr. But that's from koco. Wanted to share that story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Playoffs. We're talking about playoffs. Yeah, that's right. You bet. We are.

It's just one word. So if I went well, that's all you have. You have to guess it well. Yeah. This is a terrible game. I like it, though. Okay, Amy, what would you guess there?
Lunchbox
Well, since my baby left me.
Bobby Bones
Good guess. 90s, though. The 90s. So that would be not correct. Okay. You don't get any listening points for that one, Eddie. Well, way down yonder, that's what it would be. Well, way down yonder on Chattahoochee. You also have to depend on me to kind of get it right, too. Yeah. All right, everybody, write your answers down. Amy, Lunchbox, Eddie. Here we go. Number one. Marianne. Marianne. Marianne. That's all you get. Now, that could be a pretty easy one. I'm in.
Lunchbox
In.
Bobby Bones
In. Eddie, you have a broken arm. I'm gonna let you go first so you don't steal their answers. He's really struggling with riding with his left hand, so I'll just let you go first. Okay? No need to write anything down for you. Got it. What do you have? Goodbye, Earl. Lunchbox. Goodbye, Earl. Amy.
Lunchbox
Goodbye, Earl.
Bobby Bones
Marianne and Wanda were the best of friends all through their high school days. Okay, good one. Next one. One word in the song. Here we go. One. One.
Lunchbox
Hmm.
Bobby Bones
One. You get one word in the song. Can you name it? Here we go. 1. Think about that. 90s edition, remember?
Lunchbox
90S edition, any genre.
Bobby Bones
1. 1. 1.
Lunchbox
I think I have it.
Bobby Bones
Dang, I got nothing.
Lunchbox
I don't know what it's called.
Bobby Bones
All right, time. Hands down, Eddie, it's not right, but I'm going one for the money, two for the show. Not from the 90s. Correct. Lunchbox jump by Kris Kross. How would that go to you? One jump. That's what we're made to do. One jump. One jump. About two.
Lunchbox
One more time.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's good.
Lunchbox
And I have it called One More Time. I don't know what it's called.
Bobby Bones
1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Everybody in the castle. Come on, let's ride. That is Lou vega. Mambo number five. Of course. Now, that's easy. Yeah. Number three. Here we go. 90s edition. One word. Oh. Oh, I'm in.
Lunchbox
Oh, gosh. Now I have something from the 60s in my head.
Bobby Bones
Okay, we've learned. It's not.
Lunchbox
I know, I know. But then once that song's in my head, it doesn't get out.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh. Oh. Three seconds. Time, everybody. Good, good, Eddie. All the small things blink. 182. Good guess. Lunchbox. All the small things. Amy.
Lunchbox
All the leaves are brown.
Bobby Bones
All the leaves are brown and the.
Lunchbox
Sky is great What I couldn't get.
Bobby Bones
Out of my head better than the Mamas and the Papas and not from the right decade. The answer is all the Small Things True Care. True, Frank. Okay, two left, baby. Ooh, baby. I'm in, baby. I'm in. Her. Can you name it from one word? Okay, what was that sound? I don't know. Eddie. Baby, hit me one more time. Lunchbox. Baby got back. No, Amy.

She's focusing so hard. Here it is. One more time spent. I'm in for the win. Amy, you're eliminated.
Lunchbox
Okay, if y'all have it, then fine.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we have it. Well, no, you can still play.
Lunchbox
I know, but they're acting like it doesn't matter.
Bobby Bones
Well, if you.
Lunchbox
But it's okay.
Bobby Bones
If you did this to them, they'd be like, amy won't shut up.
Lunchbox
I know, I know. Okay, you're right.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't say that.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah, you would. It's 48 hours at the county fair. I mean, dollars. Last night, that's what I was trying to get to, but they kept talking.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, I like it. I love it. Lunchbox One Week by the Bare Naked Ladies. How did yours go? What was the word again? Spent one week. Spent one week. Sing more than that, though. I don't know the rest of the song. It just. That's what popped in my head. I think you're thinking of.
Lunchbox
It's been one week.
Bobby Bones
It's been one week. No, no, you just said. I just said spent. Oh, yeah. Spent. $40 last night at the county fair. Amy, you kind of had it, but you didn't. But Eddie, you got it. Let's go. You win. What if his power, like, he's getting better at games cuz his arm is broken. Like, when you, like, lose your hearing, your smell's better. Yeah. Wow. He broke his arm, so his games are better. That is correct. That's Tim McGraw. I like it. I love it. Eddie is a winner. Bones. Amy, what happened at your house?
Lunchbox
So I woke up in the morning and my pipes are frozen. And I thought, oh, no, I forgot to turn on a drip. And it was getting really cold out. I should have turned on the drip. So for hours, no water. Go to the grocery store, get jugs of water so we can at least brush our teeth, wash our face, stuff like that. And I'm like, kids don't use the toilets.
Bobby Bones
Were you concerned?
Lunchbox
Because if they're frozen, then one might bust. Yeah. But nothing had busted. So I thought, okay. Well, then the sun comes out, starts to melt some things, and then all of a sudden I hear this loud noise, and suddenly we have water again. And I'm like, dodged a bullet. Yes. So great. Well, no part of me decided to go investigate what the loud noise was. I thought it was just the water coming back on. Well, it was a pipe busting. I didn't go inspect that area for an hour and a half to two hours.
Bobby Bones
The area that had the loud.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because I didn't know I wasn't in that part because it ended up busting in the garage. So it's sort of opposite of where I was. And I didn't really think about it. And then we were cleaning up one area, and I was like, oh, I gotta go get the vacuum. And it was in a room above the garage. And I get there, and I'm getting the vacuum, and I'm like, what is that noise? What is that noise? So I'm looking everywhere, looking everywhere. And then I, like, I go out to the garage, and water is everywhere, everywhere. And it's just spewing out of control. I can't even tell where it's coming from exactly. And then I realized, like, okay, that sound was a busted pipe. And so not only was I bonehead when I didn't turn on the drip. So this is a reminder. If it's gonna freeze, drip your faucets. Then I go. And I was like, okay, now I figure out where it is. And I'm like, if you hear loud noises, go inspect what the loud noise is. And I had to call a plumber, and it was a whole thing.
Bobby Bones
Did you know how to shut your water off?
Lunchbox
No. I had to get on FaceTime with my sister, and she helped me figure it out.
Bobby Bones
How much water was in your garage? Did it go in your house at all?
Lunchbox
No. Thank goodness. Because, you know, the garage is concrete, and it just got on the drywall, so all of that is doable. But it was starting to freeze, so you had to be careful where you walked because you would, like, slip and fall. And it just was a mess. But I'm grateful, because if it had busted anywhere in my house, I would for sure be getting new everything. It had been a whole renovation process.
Bobby Bones
I mean, think about this. This morning, I got a flat tire. Boom. Busted tire, possibly busted rim. Eddie's got a busted arm. Broke it. Yeah, something's not right. Busted his radius. Amy busted her pipe. Water everywhere. What's happening? Lunchbox Busted his voice because he's doing coach's convention. No, that's allergies.

Okay, well, I now know how to turn off my water too, so I don't know what that's prepping me for in the future, but maybe I need to know quickly how to turn off my water and I had no clue. And now I'm a responsible homeowner that is going to first, drip her sinks. Second, if she hears a loud noise, she's going to investigate. And third, I'm a proud homeowner who's going to know how to turn off her water if she ever needs I.
Bobby Bones
Thought that was one. I thought she just repeated one.
Lunchbox
But okay, whatever they are like, I just feel like I know more about my house than ever before and I am thankful that it's not worse than it could have been.

Or like a citizen handbook.
Bobby Bones
But I am the leader. Like, I don't need to take them to anybody else. Nobody tells me what to do. Our world will be crushed immediately. Eddie. I'm assuming he wants to see the president, so I would take him to the White House. But you can take him to whomever they say, take us to your leader. Like if an alien came to me and said, take us to your leader, I'd be like, you probably want to see our president.

Lunchbox
Solve all the problems for us.
Bobby Bones
That's true. Hey, honey, what's wrong? Where are you from? She would just know what to do, you know, Ray, who would you take them to? Yeah, for me? I'd definitely talk to my wife and see what she thinks we should do and then get her dad involved. He has tons of machinery on Gar's property and try to trap him, honestly. Oh, so you want to not trap.
Lunchbox
The aliens to kill them?
Bobby Bones
Like to lock them up? Yeah. Oh, I don't like that. If they got here, they. I imagine their bodies have to be advanced, right? Just their technology.
Lunchbox
What if they are, like, invisible, like we've said, how they're microscopic, but somehow we can Hear them. And we're all acting like people are going to believe us. What if we're like, no, no, no, no. There's literally an alien right here.
Bobby Bones
Did you see the guy that was on. He was in the military that was in the alien retrieval. And they showed the footage of the egg they had to retrieve. No. A couple days ago.
Lunchbox
No. Where'd they retrieve the egg from?
Bobby Bones
From, like, this crazy mountain. But he's like, deck super decorated military guy. And they had like, the footage of.
Lunchbox
Why couldn't it be an egg from a bird?
Bobby Bones
It was a massive egg. It was the one they had to go with a helicopter and pick up Big bird. Okay, Pterodactyl aliens, if you're listening, come to me. Don't go to them. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
So this guy was in the Dunkin Donuts drive through with his son when his son said, dad, dad, there's a dog in the icy river. It's drowning. And the dad just gets out, goes and jumps Winooski river again. It's icy in Vermont. And rescues this dog that was struggling. Turns out the dog had been missing for a few days, but on its collar had the owner's information. Called the owner. The owner was so grateful. So shout out to the donut craving.
Bobby Bones
Well, I would have said the dad for his heroic actions, but you know what? The donut craving got him there.
Lunchbox
That's the origin. And then the son having eyes on the dog and then the dad acting. I mean, yeah, I'm looking at the.
Bobby Bones
Dad jumping the river. That's like heroic stuff. The dad. Dad probably didn't think about it. He just did it. Because you start thinking about it, maybe you don't do it. Yeah, you throw like a rope or something. Or. Or you just go, oh, I'm sad.
Lunchbox
I was just trying to get a donut. And now I'm awesome.
Bobby Bones
Because if that were my dog, I would be so thankful.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
