Bob Crawford
Elvis. My first pick. Dude, can't argue with Elvis. And I go with Adam Durich. He needed earlier. Good job, everybody. Hello, Bobby Bones. My name is Leia. As in Princess Leia from Star Wars. My parents are both huge fans of the movies and named me after the character. I've never been a fan of the movies and have had to live with people bringing it up all the time to me. I just started dating a guy who I really like. We went on a few dates and things started going great until I went over to his house for the first time and discovered he's a huge Star wars fan. He has a room dedicated to all of his Star wars memorabilia. My initial reaction was run Is he only dating me to live out some fantasy? My best friend thinks I'm overreacting and that a lot of guys are into Star Wars. Is it a red flag that he did not tell me he's a huge Star wars fan, or am I overreacting and deserving to give him a chance? Signed, Leia, not Princess Amy. You go first, because what I might say is harsh.
Danielle Robay
I do feel like that's something that would probably come up on the first date, right? Being that her name is Leia. You may be like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe your name is Leia. I have a room in my house dedicated to Star Wars.
Bob Crawford
Do you think if you were the dude and you did, but you also liked her, you would avoid saying that so she wouldn't run away? Because that could also scare her off if you're like, oh, that's crazy. Names Leia. I'm a huge star.
Danielle Robay
Like, I don't know.
Bob Crawford
Like, maybe a guy would not say that early.
Danielle Robay
I don't know. This is really tricky. Yeah, I would hope he really just likes her for her and it's a coincidence.
Bob Crawford
So what do you tell her?
Danielle Robay
I say keep it going for a little bit, and if things start to get weird, you'll know. You'll know. I feel like you'll know if he's dating you just for that. You'll know. Like, when he suggests you wear this.
Bob Crawford
The point. Oh, yeah. Like.
Danielle Robay
Or do your hair like this. Like, you're. You're gonna know. Just, like, you know, keep one foot in the door. Like, don't go all in. But just since you have your suspicions, you can keep dating him just in case, and time will tell.
Bob Crawford
Yeah, I would say this isn't. This is a pinkish flag because. And I would think nothing of it, except for he. He didn't even tell her before she came to his house. Like, that's something you at least have to disclose before she gets there. Is like, at some point it's got to come out that you have a Star wars room and her name's Leia. Even if it's a crazy coincidence, even if you're worried about it and you're like, this really isn't the reason. And this is why I didn't tell you, because I thought you'd freak out. You have to say something before she opens a door, and all of a sudden, C3PO everywhere. Chewbacca y. You know, so it's a pink flag.
Danielle Robay
Yeah.
Bob Crawford
It'S a pink flag. How'd you meet that's what I want to know.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, because if you, like, only Google.
Bob Crawford
Search or Instagram search, Leia's Leia. But did she tell him? Like, we don't know the answer, but I wonder if she told him, you know, like, hey, I don't like my name, by the way. I don't think she doesn't like her name. She said she's not wouldn't a fan of the movies. Right. But that doesn't mean she doesn't like her name, because I think this guy's probably thinking, like, this is a sign, like, oh, my gosh, I love Star Wars. Her name's Leia. God put us together. Okay, so you don't think he's dating her for Leia? No. You think it just could be divine intervention put in Leia with a George Lucas fan? Yes. And I bet he thought when she walked into the house and saw all his Star wars collection, she would think the same. Like, oh, my gosh, it's amazing.
Danielle Robay
That's why I think he would have no problem bringing it up on the first day.
Bob Crawford
Except it might sound crazy to say that. Think, Amy. Think about that. You're on a date, your name's Leia. Some guy's like, God put you in front of me. Your name's Leia. I love Star Wars. You're thinking, yes, you should see my house. It's all Star Wars.
Danielle Robay
You don't have to say it exactly like that. You can be like, God, it's so crazy. Like, I've. I've loved Star Wars. It's crazier named Leia.
Bob Crawford
And that would have been the normal way for it to come up, but it didn't. So that's why it's a pink flag. I wouldn't run because he just may have not known how to control. Like, he didn't know how to approach it, but it's just so weird. He didn't say anything until you got to his house. So it's a pink flag. It ain't a red flag. It's definitely not a green. Like, don't worry about it either.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, he does. A whole room dedicated to it.
Bob Crawford
He does have a whole room dedicated to it. I would see how many Leia things he has, too.
Danielle Robay
Like, who's his favorite?
Bob Crawford
Like, let's. Yeah. Yeah. Good luck. Please let us know when that doesn't work out anymore. We'd love to hear about it. All right, thanks. Close it up, Bones. Who's older, Will Ferrell or Brad Pitt?
Danielle Robay
Oh, Brad Pitt.
Bob Crawford

Danielle Robay
No, I'm just guessing.
Bob Crawford
Well, Farrell's 58, so he's not as old as Brad Pitt.
Danielle Robay
Okay.
Bob Crawford
Brad Pitt's in his 60s. I'm telling you, if you watch F1, you're like, what? Like what? God. Get into that day that made him want to admit that. Like, create that person. Yeah. Rapid61. He can still do frosted tips and it works. Let's be honest. You really can't do that. He can't. I'm telling you, he can still do it. And it works. Like, if I came in with frosted tips, roast me fully.
Danielle Robay
Okay.
Bob Crawford

There you have it. Happy birthday, Will Ferrell. Come on, it's time for the good news with Bobby. This guy Russell bought a lottery ticket and he buys them pretty regularly and they never win, at least not for much. But he couldn't find it, and so he didn't think much about it because he normally doesn't win. Well, they have a cat who is 16 years old, and the cat is, like, under the bed scratching at something and drag something out. It was that lottery ticket. And so he looked. It's kind of got dust on it. But he, like, blows it off and looks at it. Matches four of the five numbers wins $150,000.
Danielle Robay
Wow.
Bob Crawford
Come on. The cat found the ticket.
Danielle Robay
It's like when they detect cancer and stuff.
Bob Crawford
Yeah, they detect lottery, too. Then I need to get me a cat. If they detect lottery. And we never knew that was their power, dude, we'd all have cats. Yeah, that'd be Black Friday for the cat store. Yeah. Crazy story. Now he's 150,000 bucks richer. And all because the cat, I guess, got curious and, like, scratched out the ticket from behind the bed. That's from News Nation. Now that is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones. So what happened to Chappaquiddick?
Danielle Robay
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
Bob Crawford
There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and.
Danielle Robay
Left a woman behind to drown There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's teddy escapes, Blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president?
Bob Crawford
Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Danielle Robay
And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.
Bob Crawford
The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history. And I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them from Lava for good. And the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission.

There's this thing going around where people are getting all these unwanted Amazon packages just at their door. This one woman who. This one's anonymous. She's been getting packages containing fake leather car seat covers for about a year. They just keep coming. There was another story about a woman who was getting 40 and 50 boxes from Amazon that weren't hers. She's like, I don't know what there is to do. The woman's address was listed as the company's address for returns, and it just goes on. I don't know what's happening. This happened to Morgan as well, where Morgan got some packages.
Danielle Robay
I have gotten over 15 different packages, all addressed to my address, but not my name.
Bob Crawford
Was your house a new build?
Danielle Robay
Yes.
Bob Crawford
So no one lived in that house, but I guess the address could have been the same to the older house.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, but it's been, I don't know, five plus years. All of a sudden, this is happening?
Bob Crawford
Yeah. And also Amazon. It's not like there's a subscription service, like a magazine. Okay, what are you getting?
Danielle Robay
Okay, well, so I haven't opened them because it didn't have my name on it, but I had an entire stack of boxes and I finally opened one, like, the 15th package. It's just a bunch of clothes. It's a whole bunch of different clothes. But this is what's really interesting.
Bob Crawford
What kind of clothes?
Danielle Robay
Like cardigans. I saw a sweater in there. I saw you like cardigans. That's all I wear some sweatpants. So, like, more winter clothes? Yeah, but this is where it gets really weird. Yesterday, hanging out at my house, delivery arrives. I'm like, that's mine. And the guy goes, furious blank person. And I was like, what? Are you serious? They were flowers. There's a flower bouquet delivered to my house in this person's name.
Bob Crawford
The same person. That's weird, because flowers wouldn't have been ordered five, seven years ago. Yeah, so let's just call the person Sally Struthers.
Danielle Robay
Okay, cool.
Bob Crawford
So all these packages are coming for Sally Struthers.
Danielle Robay
Same person, same name.
Bob Crawford
Every single time a flower delivery shows up to your house for Sally Struthers?
Danielle Robay
Same person.
Bob Crawford
Have you Googled Sally Struthers?
Danielle Robay
Yes.
Bob Crawford
And who is Sally Struthers?
Danielle Robay
There is one who lives in Nashville, but This person lives 20 minutes away. Oh.
Bob Crawford
Is there any way to find her address? And it's okay. So I'm saying. Because sometimes the streets will be the same name. That's the weirdest part. In the same city, they got Main street and then Main Road. Yeah, yeah. Go to the wrong one.
Danielle Robay
They are not the same name. They're not even the same number.
Bob Crawford
What do you think it is? Give me your hypothesis.
Danielle Robay
I think somebody's messing with me.
Bob Crawford
Oh, that's expensive. This is expensive. They're sending flowers and 15 boxes of cardigans to Sally Strothers is a joke?
Danielle Robay
I don't know. Those cardigans and stuff were all size small. Okay, so, like, were they trying to send them to, like, hey, here. Here's some clothes. I don't know. Or is it a secret admire? Is it somebody messing with me by thinking they're a secret admirer?
Bob Crawford
Are you size small?
Danielle Robay
Yes.
Bob Crawford
Oh, that's weird. That takes a turn. That's weird. Yeah. What turn? I feel like it's kind of going in the same direction. Here's the problem. Right now, we have Morgan admitting on air that she's committed a federal offense. No, no. She opened mail because it felt like it could. It was. Is it mail? It was a threat to her. It's an Amazon package.
Danielle Robay
It was a 15th box.
Bob Crawford
It was mail because it takes posters to send it. Right? I guess. I guess how it came is UPS mail or. Oh, it's mail. That's federal offense. You can't just open people's packages. Fair enough. If it's delivered to your house. And if you feel like there's a threat, you probably. I don't think you're going to spend any time in a slammer.
Danielle Robay
No. I also returned all the first 10 that arrived. I took them all to UPS. I said, these are not mine. Yeah. And they're like, well, that's weird. I'm like, I know. And so they send them back. They never arrived again. But then five more showed up. By the fifth one, I was like, what is in these stupid packages?
Bob Crawford
I'd feel firmly like, this is a scam, and we would look it up. Mike, if you don't mind looking up the scam, however, the flowers. That's a whole new wrinkle. Because that's local. That's not like, some dude. Yeah. Two states away or even in this state going, let's send the packages. We'll use somebody else's credit card. And then we'll. Then we'll go, hey, did you get my package? They were sent the wrong name. Now all of a sudden, they have all these free clothes that they're going to either sell on the Internet to make money or. Because that's what I would think initially. Somebody stole a credit card, ordered all the stuff, sent it to the wrong house, so it can't be tracked. They show up to be like, hey, my packages may have sent to your house. Can I have my package back? You give it back to them. They use a stolen credit card, and they have a bunch of stuff.
Danielle Robay
Oh, wow.
Bob Crawford
That would be where my mind goes. But the flowers. That's weird. Have you sent Sally Strothers a message?
Danielle Robay
Well, no. So I. When these first arrived, I walked my neighborhood to, like, five different houses around me, trying to see if it was somebody else's in just wrong place, wrong address that they put in. Like, Sally here got nothing. And then I tried to track down the name. I found this person. I don't. I haven't been able to find, like, a number or an email or something.
Bob Crawford
Facebook to.
Danielle Robay
I know. And I can't. I can't tell on Facebook if it's the same one that I'm finding that lives in Nashville. So I'm trying, but I just haven't had any success. And it's so weird because this person doesn't. There's. There's no relation to my street.
Bob Crawford
Hey, Mike D. What'd you find out over here? There's something called a Brushing scam where people will send you packages and just trying to boost their ratings online. So question about that. What do you feel? That would be one package, though. I'm not saying. You're saying that's what this is. But if it were this brushing scam, I wouldn't send 15 packages to get a review or two or 15 from the same per. They just need an address. But why would they send out the free stuff then? Because they can show it as a verified sale on, like, their Amazon store and be like, look, we sold this many packs, this many items, and we have four stars, five stars. And that's how they boost it. But they have to have an actual product go out to get that review, and they just give the product out for free.
Danielle Robay
Who gives it the review?
Bob Crawford
They probably set up some kind of fake account to buy it, and then they use that to their own companies. But what about the flowers? Maybe they have a flower company. Well, are the flowers Amazon as well, or.
Danielle Robay
No, they were, like, from a local boutique.
Bob Crawford
Can you. Did you call the florist?
Danielle Robay
No. Honestly, I was so alarmed when they showed up. I said, those aren't mine. I just shut the door on the guy. When I heard the name, I was like, what the. I don't know who that is.
Bob Crawford
It's like, she must have got cheated on. Bones. This is Alex right here.
Danielle Robay
You guys have been so funny. I have literally been laughing out loud at the gym. And so I don't know if your manager or boss had a talking to you and told you guys to be funny, but. Or, I don't know, but you guys have been killing it.
Bob Crawford
Please keep it up. If someone said, hey, go ahead and be funny, that's like somebody saying, relax. Yeah. What? Like, we. We try to be funny. Yeah. Yeah. There may be seasons of more funny, but I gotta tell, if someone ever said, you need to be funnier, I'm gonna get less funnier real quick. I'm about to get really irritated. Thank you for the compliment. Somehow I feel insulted. Yeah, thanks. Also, leave us a voicemail anytime. 877-77. Bobby. Now, this is a funny story. This guy goes to the movies, and he buys out every seat at the movie theater because they weren't renting out the theater. But he was like, I'll just spend the money and buy every seat in there. And so he paid over $2,000 to take his girl to see Jurassic World. And it was. I flexed. I got us the whole theater. The problem was one seat he forgot to buy. And so he has the theater rented. There's one guy sitting in the back. And also, the guy is so confused. It's just them. It's just. Damn. Here, hit it. So they got their snacks. They got their slurpees and their popcorn, and she was feeling it too. She was excited, man. And then they headed into the theater just to have their plans completely r by this one dude that was sitting in the back of the theater. And the dude was certain that this guy snuck into the movie theater, and he went through every single ticket he had, certain that he bought out the whole theater. But it turns out this one guy had made one purchase before. He can buy out all the rest of the seat. In the end, they had to watch the movie with that one guy. It probably cost him about $2,000 to buy out all the seats. Think about both of them, right? So there's the guy who bought all the seats. He's like, what's happening here? So, yeah, he's like, dude, you sneak in here, you can't do this. My theater. The guy's like, no, here's my ticket. But think about the guy who's in there. He's like, why is nobody here opening weekend? It's just me and this couple up here. And if you're the girl. And he's been like, yeah, baby, I got this whole theater, Just me and you. Yeah. And Trent is up there three rows back, popcorn and everything.
Danielle Robay
Do you try to, like, down, sit, slip that guy a 20 and be.
Bob Crawford
Like, hey, not a 20.
Danielle Robay
Skedaddle.
Bob Crawford
100. That doesn't even cover the movie. By the time you buy your popcorn and your movie gas to get there, that's over 20 bucks. There was another story that I was just in disbelief about. So this is just this dude. He meets a girl on a dating app, and he works for the air Force. And so he ended up telling this girl on the dating app all these classified secrets.
Danielle Robay
No, we didn't.
Bob Crawford
No. No. Employee of the air Force at Offit Air Force base pleaded guilty on Thursday to conspiring to transmit classified information related to national defense. Court documents said that David Slater worked at. I hope I'm saying it right off it. With a top secret security clearance August 20, 2021 to April 22, he had been a lieutenant colonel and had retired from that job. According to the Department of Justice, he gave national defense information to an unauthorized person on a foreign online dating platform.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, I was picturing just like, just hinge in America.
Bob Crawford
Yeah. Yeah. Girls are like, look what I got access to, Right? Yeah. I would think if I were on Asian Tinder, and they were asking, like, hey, so you work for the government. What can you tell me? I'd be a little weary.
Danielle Robay
Yeah. Like, you're definitely talking to a spy.
Bob Crawford
Yeah. Where are you from? Iran. Listen to this. What do you do? You know, I work. I work at the Starbucks here. Anyway, you could tell me what's happening with the. The 413 fighter jet, you would think that'd probably be enough to break that off. Oh. What? In the message, the woman consistently asked for information and referred to him as her secret informant. Love. Oh. And her secret. So she was totally playing on his loneliness, his vulnerability.
Danielle Robay
Something. Because also, to get that type of clearance, like, you have to go through certain things. That's like. You know, sometimes people just slip through the cracks.
Bob Crawford
Guys will do anything, or they crash. Love, man. Love makes you do stupid things. That ain't love, buddy. He faces up to 10 years in prison. Oh, no. He'll be sentenced in October. Dude, he was a lieutenant colonel for sure. This is a catfish, too, right? Like, probably wasn't even a real girl. No, probably not. How did he. Yeah. How do you get back to, like, the government and all that? The DOJ said Slater provided classified information regarding military targets and Russian military capabilities. Come on. What are you doing? That's too much. You don't even tell this to the person you work next to in the. Wow. In the office there. The defendant, an employee of the United States Air Force with access to our nation's most closely held secret, shared classified information with someone claiming to be a foreigner on an online dating platform. The depart. They're not saying much more about it.
Danielle Robay
Golly.
Bob Crawford
So was it an American person, like, posing? No.
Danielle Robay
Oh, see?
Bob Crawford
Yeah, it doesn't say that. Like, I. I just assume. How would they find out? I wonder if the government ever, like, tries to catfish their own people to see if they.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, I would think so.
Bob Crawford
I think there's some counterintelligence stuff that happens a lot, but I don't know about. I mean, using Iran, Tinder. No, maybe not.
Danielle Robay
You would think they operate like, other businesses. Like, you know, Taco Bell will do that, or, you know, secret shoppers.
Bob Crawford
What if you get Iraqis? No, but the Taco Bell recipe. No, I am gonna see.
Danielle Robay
No, I'm talking about, like, you have secret shoppers and people that sign up for. They were. The company is paying them. Like, hey, Eddie, I'm gonna pay you to go to Taco Bell and then see what your experience is. Like, we want to make sure that everything's running smoothly, as it should. And then you report back to the company and they're like, okay, cool. That location gets five stars. Like, they probably sent undercover people in to test out lieutenant colonels all the time. Good point.
Bob Crawford
If Taco Bell does it, the US.
Danielle Robay
Government's probably especially single, lonely ones.
Bob Crawford
They do have honeypot operations. What Jeffrey Epstein probably was. Honey was a honey. Yeah, that's what they do. But this is. They say it was a woman on a foreign dating site. Okay. Yeah.
Danielle Robay
So. Yeah, but they wouldn't tell us.
Bob Crawford
Yeah, yeah, they wouldn't let that. I don't think it was a Taco Bell secret shopper. I'm just telling you guys, I don't think it was that. I did see a tick tock where a woman was like, hey, I was going to Taco Bell. I don't want me to do this. But I did laugh. She said, I called at Taco Bell and said, hey, can I speak to the manager? And the manager answered. And she was like, hey, there's a secret shopper coming. Like, secret restaurant shopper coming to Taco Bell. And they're going to order, just so you know, a chalupa, one crunch taco, and a drink. Just so you know, they're there to make sure that everything's perfect. And then said she went and drove up and ordered the chili Fun. The taco. This is awesome. And they hooked her up with all the stuff. She goes, it was the best Taco Bell experience I've had in my life. She wasn't a secret chopper. She just called ahead to say that she might be. Dude, that's amazing. Yeah, that's pretty funny. But don't do that. No, no, no, don't do that. Let's go over to Lindsay in Alabama who wants to talk about me giving Morgan a hard time for taking her dog on vacation and. And going everywhere with a dog and her new boyfriend, which I don't feel like I was that harsh. Just had a couple questions, but. Lindsay, go ahead.
Danielle Robay
Hi. Hey, everybody. Good morning, studio. I just wanted to comment about that, like you said, with Morgan. Huge fan of Morgan, by the way. Hey, Morgan. Hello. I just wanted to say that you have not a lot of room to talk, Bobby, considering Dusty used to sleep in your bed. You used to take him everywhere and you even dedicated a book to him, so there's that.
Bob Crawford
That's true. I am a dog lover. I've always loved my dogs to no end. I'm probably the biggest dog lover in the whole world. The world's ever seen. However, I never took the dog, any dog on vacation because I felt like I was still weird taking dogs into, like, places too. And then if I was dating, like, my wife and I, we go on vacation early on. We're just dating. I didn't grab Stanley and be like, let's. Let's all go.
Danielle Robay
But you didn't do a road trip.
Bob Crawford
Yeah, we did. We did road trips a couple.
Danielle Robay
Oh, yeah.
Bob Crawford
You could only. You could only road trip because it was covered. We couldn't get on a plane.
Danielle Robay
Did you have a cute little stroller, though? Because maybe if you had one of those.
Bob Crawford
We got one of those later. And we only did it, like, once because we saw Aldean walking with one. And then Stanley hated it.
Danielle Robay
Oh.
Bob Crawford
And I wasn't even that harsh. I was just like, dang, that boyfriend. First vacation with his girlfriend, and the dog is everywhere with it. That would be tough. I'm gonna be honest. That would be tough. I would find people to watch the dog, watch Dusty or Stanley at home while we were gone. That's all.
Danielle Robay
I don't think it seems that tough, Morgan, but it's really not. And I also don't see what the big deal is, because I've traveled with Remy so many times. This is not new. Like, she's gone on so many vacations with me, and so this is very.
Bob Crawford
I was shouting out with the new boyfriend. All of a sudden, he's going on his first trip with his girlfriend, and she's bringing a dog every single day.
Danielle Robay
And he has zero issue that he loved that. Okay, but, Morgan, they might be on something. They're all guys, and they all feel this way, but we, the girls, we don't feel this way.
Bob Crawford
And I would have. And I would have acted like I loved it if I was with my new girlfriend. I'd been like, I love it if you. Yeah, I'd have been like, I'm totally in. Bring that little dog.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, but you guys aren't like him. Like, I'm not dating you guys. Like, you guys are different than him for a reason. Like, he is a. A very massive dog lover. Exactly in the same capacity that I am.
Bob Crawford
So we're not dog lovers. Is crazy.
Danielle Robay
I said in the same way that I am, which means I am. I love bringing her along. She goes a lot of places with me, and he feels the same way.
Bob Crawford
Lindsay said it best here on the call. I dedicated a book to my dog. You did? I. When I toured and he was older, I got a tour bus that could have the dog. But also on the first time that I went on a trip, like with my girlfriend, then fiance, then wife, I didn't take the dog everywhere we went.
Danielle Robay
But that's your prerogative, and this is my prerogative, and this is what I chose. And he went on.
Bob Crawford
Okay, this is what I would say. I would bet he didn't really love it. I bet he was like, okay, that's fine.
Danielle Robay
No, he took. He used to take trips with his dog all the time.
Bob Crawford
What happened to his dog? Did I.
Danielle Robay
Yes.
Bob Crawford
Remember him on his ankle so he walks with him. Oh, yeah.
Danielle Robay
Remember?
Bob Crawford
That's true. She absolutely could be telling the truth. I'm just saying that seemed a bit weird. I'm not even arguing that he's not like that. I just said, if I were dating somebody and they were like, let's go on a vacation, I'm taking my dog everywhere we go, I'd be like, dang, really? Can't you leave that thing at home for a couple of days? Like I did? And I love my dog. You know what I mean?
Danielle Robay
But that's you. That's not him.
Bob Crawford
But also, she's not dating. I know the girl I was dating said I were going to take it everywhere. I'd be like. I'd be like, yeah, you can do that. But inside, I'd be like, do we have to. On our first trip, guys, you know, I'm. You know I'm right.
Danielle Robay
I'm with you guys again, that's you guys and that's your guys choice.
Bob Crawford
You have two and a half dog lovers here.
Danielle Robay
Okay, I hear you. But, like, again, I feel like I am on the extreme side of animal lovers and the way that I am. He matches my energy in that. So that's.
Bob Crawford
I can't believe you just leave in the hotel room for one dinner. Not even a single dinner is bananas.
Danielle Robay
Hold on. First of all, a lot of Airbnbs actually don't allow you to do that anymore, so that's not really an option. Yes.
Bob Crawford
Yeah. But they're not monitoring you inside the house.
Danielle Robay
If you get caught doing it, you either get kicked out or you get fined. So it's just not worth it. And second of all, like, I asked him, I repeatedly was like, are you good with this? I made sure on multiple accounts that he was okay with everything that was happening. And not once did he ever be like, I'm a little. No. Every time. He was excited about it.
Bob Crawford
We agree that he would never say that. He never would say. Right, okay. But we're dudes. We know how dudes operate when it's like, new relationship and a road trip with my girl. First time, y', all maybe.
Danielle Robay
What if a way to test it.
Bob Crawford
Out is I don't even like being anti dog. I'm the most dog person in the world. I just think.
Danielle Robay
I don't think that right now.
Bob Crawford
Well, it's not about the dog. It's not about the dog. It could have been a cat, raccoon. It could have been a cousin. Yes. Yes, it could have been.
Danielle Robay
What if. What if more your dad?
Bob Crawford
A llama? Yes. Anything. Yes.
Danielle Robay
Okay. What if she brings up to him another trip with the dog?
Bob Crawford
At this point, he's.
Danielle Robay
He's still gonna say yes.
Bob Crawford
He has to now. Yeah, because he's been.
Danielle Robay
We also have another trip planned that doesn't have Remy coming. Like, I don't know, guys. No. And you are roasting me again. You're like, I didn't go that hard. You are going hard. Yes, you are.
Bob Crawford
Lindsay stirred this pot. Lindsay, how do you feel about yourself?
Danielle Robay
Well, I think y' all need to leave her alone. Yeah.
Bob Crawford
Triggered me. Lindsay, you did this.
Danielle Robay
I know, I know. It's your. Yeah, but. Yeah, but you did do that with Dusty, so.
Bob Crawford
I did, and I took him a lot of places. But when it was like, first trip or Stanley first trip. You know, I got somebody to watch the dog, But. But you know what? Morgan's not dating me. She's not dating Lunchbox. She's not dating Eddie. She's not. For a reason. For a reason. Yeah. And we. I think maybe is stemming some of her anger. What? She wanted to date all of us? No, fair enough. Fair enough. Lindsay, thank you for the call. And thank you for stirring up all this mess this morning.
Danielle Robay
You're. Oh, you're welcome anytime.
Bob Crawford
We don't mind. We actually like the mess being stirred up. It's fun. Okay, Lindsay, have a great day. And yeah, I still. I feel the same way. You're never gonna convince me that a dude's like, yeah, go ahead, bring your dog, and let's do. And Lunchbox has a point. Maybe you leave it back when you got a Roots crest once. I mean. I mean, one meal.
Danielle Robay
I don't know. I don't really think it's that big of a deal. I think you guys have created this. In this, like, a lot of fun.
Bob Crawford
And. Have you ever taken a dog on a trip, like, with you just. You're a dude.
Danielle Robay
No, Never.
Bob Crawford
Right?
Danielle Robay
But.
Bob Crawford
But I would say that's.
Danielle Robay
I'm different than Morgan. And I don't have a tiny dog. I have bigger dogs and my dog isn't.
Bob Crawford
It doesn't matter the size of the dog.
Danielle Robay
Yes, it does. Absolutely. It matters the size of the dog. I guarantee you their trip would not have been easy if they had a huge.
Bob Crawford
But she was still taking it.
Danielle Robay
The dog was Rottweiler.
Bob Crawford
If she had taken. The dog would have gone with them regardless. He would have insisted on it.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, but the little stroller, he would.
Bob Crawford
Have fought her over it. All right, I'm done. So what happened to Chappaquiddick?
Danielle Robay
Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
Bob Crawford
There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and.
Danielle Robay
Left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's Teddy Escapes, Blonde Drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become President?
Bob Crawford
Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Danielle Robay
And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.
Bob Crawford
The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.
Danielle Robay
Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
Bob Crawford
American history is full of wise people.
Danielle Robay
Walt Whitman said something like, you know.
Bob Crawford
99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is glory.
Danielle Robay
Those Founding Fathers were gossipy AF, and they love to cut each other down.
Bob Crawford
I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history, and I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

Hello, this is Ruthie Rogers, host of Ruthie's Table Four.

Ali called me the stray dog because I would always turn up at my mate's house at mealtimes.
Danielle Robay

Bob Crawford
I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava For Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season one, Taser Incorporated.

It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good. Michael and his 8 year old son Vincent were on a Florida river on their boat. They're about to leave when the 8 year old looks up and goes, dad look, they're having a barbecue on their boat over there. Dad looks, goes, son, that's not a barbecue, that's a fire. And on that boat, five people and a dog. He's like, let's Go, son. We gotta rescue him. So he drives the boat over there and he gets a rope, throws it and tells the people, jump in, I'll pull you to safety. So they all jump in, and one by one, he pulls them into his boat. Boat. And then he gets a fire extinguisher and puts out the fire on their boat. Wow. Yeah. If this was a barbecue, this was like heavy duty bar. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Big time smoke. Like lots of meat. Yeah. The engine caught on fire. Yeah. I mean, it's really why they don't want you putting a fire on a boat. Because so many things are flammable. Yeah, Close. Because it's all close capacity. Every once in a while you'll see a boat with like a grill on it. Yeah. Like a pontoon. Boats. Those are cool. Yeah. But really not recommended because you're not supposed to have fire on boats in general.
Danielle Robay
Makes sense.
Bob Crawford
Which makes sense. Did the kid really think there was a barbecue going on? Well, he's seen some bad barbecues. Well, he saw smoke and he thought, oh, they're barbecuing. Yeah. If that's what he thinks of barbecue is. Dad does not know how to barbecue at home. All right. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Lunchbox. Morgan T.R. steve Red habit trying to put you through. M's riding this week's next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. Now time for the morning corny. The morning Corny.
Danielle Robay
What did the bully have for lunch?
Bob Crawford
What the bully have for lunch?
Danielle Robay
A knuckle sandwich.
Bob Crawford
That was the morning corny.
Danielle Robay
You knew that one right away.
Bob Crawford
Yeah. You think kids even say, I'll give you a knuckle sandwich anymore. Or was that over in, like the 70s? Well, I still tell my kids that. So maybe they're older, though. I bet they're not taking that from dad. Maybe not with it. Okay. Yeah, good one. Looking forward to tomorrow's?
Danielle Robay
Sure. Yeah, I bet you are.

Sam Williams is on the Bobby cast this week. It is my one hour podcast interview show. So he's the son of Hank Williams Jr. And so we talked about what his dad is like. We also talked about and he brought it up how everyone sent him that video of Hank Williams walking out of our studio. Here's a clip of that. Sometimes people just do things, though. And he is one of those people that just does things. And wanting to smoke a cigar and not getting to is probably one of them. But I guess apologies on his behalf, but that's the icon stuff, I guess. Well, I think he's unfamiliar with like this environment of like doing this type of thing. It was a long time ago that he was more doing that and you know, used to doing whatever he wants. He would rather be in a deer stand or like something like that. But yeah, everybody would send that to me, be like, have you seen this? I'm like, yes, if you haven't heard that interview. And there was no offense taken by me. I didn't know he was upset about not being able to smoke indoors. But here is part of that interview with Hank Williams Jr. We had done part of it and then he was like, can I go? And I was like, yeah, go. All right, what do you want to do? I want to get out of here. Wait, already? We just. I'm gonna smoke my cigar and get the hell out of here. I don't like it now you understand? Can we leave now? You just walking. I'm ready to go. All right, goodbye. I got half. I got a $26 cigar out there. So I've got about, in the words of my uncle, about $10.50 left on it. So they left. Love it. Yeah, It's a viral YouTube video. Wasn't even offended while it happened. I just thought, classic Hank Jr. We talked too with Sam, his son, about the misconception people have that he grew up rich and his family money, etc. People think that we just like were born and just ate. Hey, good looking. Cheerios and just freaking family tradition till, you know, the cows went home and that's not it. You know, my dad's like a frugal man, born in 1949. It was a different world then. Like his, what he said about the cigar. But no, I mean, my dad obviously helps me in ways and has been there for me in many ways before. All my dad's kids have been on our. On our own thing. Lobby bone show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from New Hampshire. A 43 year old man is seen on surveillance video breaking into a car dealership, stealing some keys, driving off with a car. Next night he's like, I'm tired of this car. Returns, drops the car off, breaks in again, steals another set of keys and takes another car. Three days later they caught him driving it. I wonder if he had to use that car to get back to the dealership because it doesn't make sense. To drop off a car that you just stole. Unless you needed a ride at the dealership and your only ride was the car you stole.
Danielle Robay
Right.
Bob Crawford
Or it's the trade in concept. That's what I thought too. But nobody's there to receive the trade. And is he gonna get full bang for his buck? You want to shop that around a few places? All right, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Yesterday, we talked about texting others and sending a positive text to your partner just for no reason. Or we even monitor. How many texts have we sent our wives partners during the day? I think I'd sent my wife, like, three. Amy was a zero. Eddie was a zero. That's okay. Everybody's different. Yeah, I only have one today. I Look just now only have one today. I still have zero. Well, so. But on the show yesterday, Amy texted her dude and was like, hey, sunshine emoji. What? I don't know.
Danielle Robay
I was testing it out.
Bob Crawford
Eggplant emoji.
Danielle Robay
I said, hi, Eve. Lots of eyes. And then morning, lots exclamation points. And then the star, the sun emoji. And I said, make it a great day because that's what you said. Be positive. And when he got it, he double tapped it with heart. That's it. That's all I got back.
Bob Crawford
He might. He might have been busy, and it could have been better. He could have double tapped it with thumbs up. Oh, that's worse. Oh, that's not bad. No, no, no. Thumbs up. That's a recognition of receiving the message. That's not negative. That's even. That's nothing.
Danielle Robay
Oh, that's not a. I would not double tap thumbs up. I would have called him immediately.
Bob Crawford
I gotcha. Like, gotcha.
Danielle Robay
I hate the thumbs up.
Bob Crawford
We should talk about times the thumbs up. No, no. The thumbs up is a recognition that I got it and understand.
Danielle Robay
Okay.
Bob Crawford
Unless if my wife were to say, like, looks like somebody forgot to take the trash out, and I thumbs up it. That would be a bit passive aggressive because I would be thumbs upping a negative message. If it's a straightforward message, like, hey, I dropped this off at your house. Hey, we went and did this. Hey, don't forget. Tomorrow's this double tap thumbs up recognition of the understanding of what you're saying.
Danielle Robay
Yes, I understand that.
Bob Crawford
That's even. That's not negative, though. But it's not positive. The heart is positive.
Danielle Robay
Okay. Yeah. Well, later, when I did talk to him, and I'm like, that just got a double tap heart he said, well, by the time I saw it, I was already in meetings and doing things. He's like, I really appreciate it. I thought it was great. But I just wanted to acknowledge it because I needed to stay in my meeting. And I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, Meetings.
Bob Crawford
Acknowledging positively. Because he could have acknowledged that I have received this thumbs up. Because that wouldn't have been negative, but it definitely wouldn't have been a positive. Yeah, that had been net gain zero, but no loss. So technical about it. Net game zero. It's understanding of communication. I don't think there's anything complicated. We constantly do this with tone and words. This is just another version of that.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, I guess I. I guess I shouldn't have had any expectations of what should come back. But you. You told us that that's good for relationships. So I thought it was gonna, you know, he was gonna maybe banter back.
Bob Crawford
Too much with one text.
Danielle Robay
Yeah.
Bob Crawford
Because I think it is a general. If you have the culture of a few messages throughout the day when you're not together, it helps.
Danielle Robay
Yeah. But still, I'm not gonna give up on it.
Bob Crawford
I would compare that to taking vitamins. You don't take vitamins one day and you're like, well, I'm better.
Danielle Robay
Perfect.
Bob Crawford
You gotta take a lot of vitamins for a lot of time to see a very small. What?
Danielle Robay
Perfect example. That's like a really great. That helps.
Bob Crawford
Vitamins. You're speaking herbal.
Danielle Robay
Or anything you take Sometimes it's like you need to be on this for two weeks to notice. So I'll keep going.
Bob Crawford
My favorite thing. It promotes good relationships. Oh, yeah.
Danielle Robay
Yeah.
Bob Crawford
Yes. Eddie, did your wife respond to yours? You know what? I went back and looked and I forgot to send it.
Danielle Robay
No way.
Bob Crawford
You didn't send it. I never sent it.
Danielle Robay
After all that?
Bob Crawford
After all that.
Danielle Robay
Okay, we'll send it now.
Bob Crawford
Dude, that's so bizarre. You know what, though? I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it right now, though. I'm gonna do it right now. And I bet she does a double tap. Thumbs up. Do you ever do the thing where you send a message? Now, this was different because we were talking about this, but you send a message and then, you know, you know, you don't get a response back. And then you go to text them the next day or two days later and you realize you haven't sent the message. You're still sitting there. Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Not the same. Because we. We had a. Like an idea. Yeah. And I never started the message. Oh, you never Even wrote it. No, like, because I was doing the video stuff and I got my phone out and I never got. I thought you meant you wrote it and never pushed a button. No, no. And if that happens. Question there. If that happens, do they get the bubble for 24 hours?
Danielle Robay
The bubble goes away.
Bob Crawford
It's a non stop bubble. Okay.
Danielle Robay
Yeah, sometimes. Have you already built up a. They haven't texted me back. I wonder, is everything okay? I hope so. You know, And I build up a story and then I go and I realize, well, I never text texted.
Bob Crawford
No, but I do that. They've never texted me back. And I went. The other day, I had a friend and I texted her and I was waiting for. I was literally waiting for a response. And I told my wife, I said, hey. She never texted me back. My wife said, that is really unlike her. And I was like. So I went back and she did text me back. I don't.
Danielle Robay
You missed it.
Bob Crawford
Oh. Did it not pop up, like, on your notifications? Well, I don't really have notifications on text message. Two are very generic. But secondly, I get the red dots off my phone so fast. I probably was just moving through, taking the red dots off. So that was on me. Yeah. Eddie, send your message. Let us know tomorrow. I will. I'll do it. All right, that's it.
