Timestamp: [39:28] – [41:56]

The episode kicks off with the thought-provoking question: "What would our 12-year-old selves think of us?" This segment invites guests to introspect and consider the gap between childhood dreams and adult realities.

• Morgan shares, "I think honestly, my 12-year-old self would be disappointed because really, my 12-year-old self thought that I was going to be a rock star. Like, it would think he would think that I would be on the road somewhere big, sold-out shows with a bunch of other rock acts. No." ([41:01])

• Amy offers a contrasting perspective, expressing pride in her life's path: "My 12-year-old self is super proud. Oh, excited. Thinks it's so cool. I work in country music. It's so fun. I've adopted two kids." ([41:54])

Timestamp: [19:33] – [27:55]

In a comedic twist, co-host Eddie (affectionately dubbed Lunchbox) attempts to secure a day off work by leveraging his religious beliefs, specifically observing Good Friday. This leads to an impromptu Catholic Game Show, testing Eddie's knowledge of Catholicism in his quest for time off.

• Eddie announces his need for the day off: "Unfortunately, this Friday is Good Friday... Good Friday is one of the biggest days in the Catholic religion." ([19:47])

• The co-hosts pose various Catholic-related questions, pushing Eddie to answer correctly to "win" his day off. Notable moments include:

  • Mike D asks, "What's the name of the day the Holy Spirit came to the apostles?"
    Eddie initially stumbles but ultimately answers "Pentecost." ([24:55])

  • Amy humorously summarizes the outcome: "I think you were never getting in the NBA. I never." ([46:04])

Despite Eddie's enthusiasm, his limited knowledge leads to a humorous yet endearing display of his dedication, culminating in the show's playful acknowledgment of his effort: "That's a little therapy there, huh?" ([46:07])

This segment blends humor with light-hearted competition, showcasing the camaraderie among the hosts.

• Amy responds with empathy and honesty: "You're not." ([13:27])

• Eddie humorously critiques the AI's portrayal: "Unfortunately, this Friday is Good Friday..." ([07:00 – seems like misplacement])

Throughout the exchange, the hosts navigate the balance between honesty and sensitivity, ensuring Eddie receives genuine feedback without causing discomfort. Eddie humorously reflects on the AI's exaggerated depiction: "We can't buy anything huge for $10,000. I can't buy a house for $10,000." ([03:49])

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Mike D]

Transmitting across America. This is a Bobby. What's up everybody? Welcome to Wednesday Show Morning Studio Morning. This voicemail is looking for advice. I think we're going to give different versions of it, but hit that. Hi, I am looking for financial advice. Me and my husband have come into. I wouldn't say a lot of money, but a little bit of money. And we have been working from the ground up from the 17 and 19 year old couple that we were. And we are now in our 30s and we have two kids. So if you have any long term financial advice because you seem to be somebody that knows how to do it, so let us know. We are not. We're happy talking to you. No, just you.

[Morgan]

Not happy.

[Mike D]

We're happy to help you, but we are not. I'll go to lunchbox first. What, what financial advice? They just came into some money. What would you recommend them do?

[Eddie]

Probably buy a bigger house, maybe do some lottery and hit me up on Instagram. I can tell you some stocks on Robin Hood that I've been buying. Besides that, you know, have fun, enjoy it, like live a little bit. Because you've been grinding for so long. You said 17 and 19 when you had no money. Now you have some money. Take yourself out to dinner a few times a week.

[Mike D]

Let's say you came into $10,000 today.

[Eddie]

Today. Oh gosh.

[Mike D]

And they said you got to use it in the next couple days. Now you can invest it, you can use it. What would you do?

[Eddie]

What can I buy for $10,000? I'd probably buy. Can you buy them a moped?

[Morgan]

Probably on Craigslist.

[Mike D]

I'm sure you get a decent moped for $10,000. Yeah, but that's what you would do if you just came in $10,000.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I don't know. I mean there's not.

[Mike D]

In my mind he went Lamborghini boat and he worked all the way down at things he was trying to buy until he hit moped.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because I was like, I can't really buy anything huge for $10,000. I can't buy a house for $10,000. So I mean a cool moped would be. I mean I see people and I, I guess moped's not the right. Like a. It's a little faster than a moped.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Here's what I would say to you. I would say to you to find somebody whose job that it is to invest money or put money in places to take care of your money. Yes, that's what I would say.

[Morgan]

That's smart.

[Amy]

I didn't think that like a financial.

[Mike D]

Advice or run for a moped or.

[Eddie]

Or, or a snow cone truck. I just don't know if you can get it for 10,000.

[Mike D]

I'm not sure what that means. When people, they came into a little bit of money and it's awesome for you and if you really want to make the most out of it, go to somebody who knows how to make the most out of it. It's not us.

[Morgan]

It's tricky, though, because she says she has two kids. Like, I would save as much money as you can. Kids are expensive.

[Amy]

Yeah. But a financial advisor could tell you how to save it, how to diversify it and make it.

[Eddie]

A financial advisor is going to take that $10,000 too. You got to pay the person.

[Mike D]

Do you know how it works? Nope.

[Morgan]

Okay, how does it work?

[Mike D]

You give them money, and any money they make, they get a percentage of.

[Amy]

So they want it to make money for you.

[Mike D]

So they. Yes. They are compelled to put in the extra effort to make money for you because they're getting a percentage off the money they make you. It's not what he said. Where they're just going to take your money.

[Eddie]

So what if they lose money? They don't give any money. No, but if they lose money, it's like, oh, no sweat off my back. It's not their money.

[Mike D]

But why?

[Morgan]

That's true, too.

[Mike D]

No, that's not true.

[Eddie]

Stop. Right? I mean, because it is sweat off.

[Mike D]

Their back because that's. That's like you going to work and not getting paid and be like, why didn't lose any money. No sweat off my back.

[Eddie]

But they probably have 10 clients and they put the money all in 10 different places, and nine of them work out. The one that doesn't, they're like, oh, sorry about that, guys. Didn't make any money. We lost.

[Mike D]

That would be like you having five days of work and going in on one. One of the days of work, you're not getting paid to be like, well, the other four days I'm getting paid, so who cares? I don't care. If I don't get paid on one of the days this makes a noise.

[Eddie]

I don't agree with that analogy. I think my analogy is better.

[Mike D]

Okay. Yeah. Go to a professional. Is what is what we would say there. Array, play me voicemail number two.

[Amy]

I literally broke the same thing that Eddie broke. And I was not able to move my arm for months. And he is moving his arm within weeks up and down, side to side. And I was just like, what?

[Mike D]

What is going on? Eddie was bull.

[Amy]

Excuse my language, man. Explain yourself, because that. There is no possible explanation as why you can move your arm, please. I love you, Eddie, but come on, man.

[Morgan]

I love them, too, but that's weird. I don't know. I mean, the doctor said that I had waited a little Too long to get it looked at, so it was already starting to heal. So within two or three weeks. Yeah, I could move it a little more than I thought I could. But I'm gonna be honest with you. My arm still hurts.

[Mike D]

But you're saying you're not B.S.

[Morgan]

No, I'm not full of B.S. whatever.

[Amy]

How many days from when you fell to when you went to the doctor?

[Morgan]

Four days.

[Amy]

Four days it started to heal itself?

[Morgan]

No, no. Four days? Yeah.

[Eddie]

Super healer man.

[Morgan]

Maybe five days.

[Mike D]

I don't think it starts to heal in a couple days.

[Amy]

A little bit, yeah, maybe.

[Mike D]

I mean, it's like four months.

[Morgan]

Well, what the doctor said was I was taking steroids for my cold or my sinuses and said that could have done it.

[Mike D]

Okay, this is the stupidest thing. These are both stupid answers. Okay, let's go behind. Hello, Bobby Bones. I accidentally discovered a bunch of videos on my girlfriend's phone of her and her ex. And I'm not talking about vacation clips. I haven't said anything yet, but I can't stop thinking about it. I can't help but be deeply unsettled. Is this something I need to talk to her about, or should I just let the past stay in the past? Signed boyfriend, shaken by the past. So I'm gonna give you two answers, and both are correct. The first answer is, why were you in her phone? And does she know you were in her phone? Because if you were in her phone and she doesn't know you in her phone, you can say nothing, because you can't be sneaking into her phone. So now you've got to find a reason to get in her phone to see them.

[Amy]

Oh, I didn't think of that part. Yeah, she's gonna be like, why are you going through my stuff?

[Mike D]

Exactly. So if she doesn't know you were in her phone, My answer to this question is you can say nothing until you have a reason to get in her phone. And then you discover them, and then you can do what I'm going to say here. You say to her if she let you in her phone, hey, why do you have these clips? Oh, my gosh. What's happening here? That's it. Those are your two answers. Those are the only two answers. And that's it. Because that's weird that she has them. Why does she have them?

[Amy]

Could she have forgotten?

[Mike D]

Okay, maybe you forget.

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Mike D]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Well, it depends on how old they are. And how far back. I don't know.

[Mike D]

Tell us more, Amy.

[Amy]

No, I don't I'm just saying, like, sometimes it holds years of stuff.

[Mike D]

So let's just say that is a possibility. Those are your two answers. If you were in her phone and she did not know you were in her phone, you can say nothing until you have a reason to be in her phone and you, quote, finger, quote, discover them.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Secondly, if she knows you were in her phone because she said, hey, get me this, or whatever, you just couldn't have been doing anything suspicious while finding things out about her. That's suspicious. Because suspicion versus suspicion equals even. And you don't want it to be even. You wanted to delete them. That's just simple math. That's just algebra, guys. Suspicion times suspicion equals even.

[Amy]

Okay, I've never heard that enough, but I get it.

[Mike D]

I would be unsettled, too.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Can't you just make up a story, though, and say your phone was open?

[Mike D]

Oh, why are you getting in the picture? Yeah, you're lying.

[Morgan]

I just looked and the picture was on there.

[Mike D]

It wasn't on there. The video wasn't on there, like Amy said. Amy hides hers, like, three years back.

[Amy]

No, I don't have any. I'm not hiding anything.

[Mike D]

It just felt very familiar. I just.

[Amy]

No, it didn't. I. No, I was saying, how. How old are they? Cuz even this. Because even then, cat's got her tongue, man. No, because y'all have me nervous. Even then, if.

[Mike D]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

If. If he's supposed to be looking for something for you, like, how did he end up way back where or you know, or she not heard of that feature where now you can lock certain things?

[Morgan]

Oh, boy.

[Mike D]

Maybe you should sidebar with her and let her know all the stuff.

[Amy]

Y'all taught me that.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Okay, the only two answers are one, if you're not supposed to know, find out a way that you're supposed to know, then bring it up. But I would be unsettled. It's okay to feel that way. And I would definitely be like, what's up?

[Amy]

Yeah, that's all.

[Mike D]

I'd just be like, what's up? So. But you can't be like, what's up? If you are also being.

[Amy]

Can you just. But also, if you're being shady, can you just own your shadiness and be like, I have something to confess. I was being shady?

[Mike D]

You can, but it's going to be met with okay, but yes. What did I teach you, class?

[Amy]

Shady versus shady equals even.

[Mike D]

Bones, this segment might get awkward. It may not, but someone on the show has asked for one Hundred. Pure honesty. Do not sugarcoat it. Do not be safe with their feelings. Don't make. Don't be precious about feelings. Just be honest. Okay?

[Amy]

Okay.

[Mike D]

All right. It's not me, it's Eddie.

[Morgan]

And you're going to be honest, right, guys?

[Amy]

Yeah. We just can't look at you.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you don't have to look at me.

[Amy]

I'm not.

[Mike D]

I think you're going to need to.

[Amy]

Nope.

[Mike D]

No, I think you're going to need. Okay, okay, Eddie, we're going to be honest. Everybody. Commitment to be honest.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Okay, go ahead.

[Eddie]

No problem.

[Mike D]

And don't answer until I come to you. Okay, but, Eddie, go ahead and talk about the scenario.

[Morgan]

Okay, guys, I just want to ask you a question. Am I fat?

[Amy]

Stop.

[Mike D]

Okay. Why do you think?

[Morgan]

Because Morgan had us do these AI, like, I don't know, action figures or something. You take three pictures of yourself, you send it to AI, you say, make an action figure out of me. And when I got back, I'm gonna send it to you guys right now. The original one I got back.

[Mike D]

Oh, we didn't see the original.

[Morgan]

No, no, no. I had to go back and say, make me skinnier because the original one made me fat.

[Mike D]

Oh, I see you.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Morgan]

And so I'm thinking, like, is it me thinking I don't look like that? Because I don't think I look like that. Okay, so my question for you guys. And just.

[Mike D]

So you told her, make you skinnier?

[Morgan]

I told AI, make me skinnier, please.

[Mike D]

You told Morgan to make AI? No, AI, you did it yourself.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Mike D]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And AI made me skinnier. But that's the original picture that it sent.

[Amy]

Where is it? We want to see.

[Mike D]

So it's in a group text. There's a viral. It's a meme. A trend where it's like, this is the action figure, and it says producer Eddie on air personality. His picture of Eddie. There's a Dallas cowboy hat, about 100 kids, a grill, and a guitar. Basically, his life.

[Morgan]

And what do I look like?

[Mike D]

So he wants to know.

[Morgan]

The question is, what do I look like?

[Mike D]

That. Your question has changed. The question was at first, am I fat?

[Morgan]

Correct.

[Mike D]

Is that what you want the answer to?

[Morgan]

Well, yes, the answer is. The question is, am I fat? Because AI thinks I'm fat. So I want to know, am I fat?

[Mike D]

Okay, see, here's the thing. Different people are going to have different. Like Amy is going to be very sensitive to your feelings.

[Amy]

I can. I can answer honestly on this.

[Mike D]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

I can even look at he.

[Morgan]

I can take It. I can take it.

[Amy]

You're not.

[Morgan]

Come on.

[Amy]

No, you're not. I don't. I. I'm. I don't like commenting on your body anymore.

[Mike D]

That's why. Right.

[Amy]

But I don't. But if he's asking genuinely. No, you're not.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's offensive when people don't, like, ask, like, am I fat? But, like. And you just tell him you're fat. It's not offensive when I'm asking. You guys, tell me right now, looking me in the face, am I fat?

[Amy]

Right. And you're not.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox Eddie, unfortunately, you are fat in this figurine. And I think maybe you uploaded some fat photos because you had to upload three photos. So maybe you did old fat photos and that's how they thought you were fat.

[Morgan]

No, I took the photos that moment and just sent them.

[Eddie]

Oh. Because I don't think you're fat.

[Mike D]

What do you think he is?

[Eddie]

Plump. Chubby.

[Mike D]

So you would say, but chubby?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

How do you feel about being chubby?

[Morgan]

I don't like it. Chubby. I feel like. I don't feel like I'm chubby. I feel like I'm.

[Mike D]

I would say this guy in the picture's chubby.

[Eddie]

Oh, that guy's fat.

[Mike D]

You think so?

[Morgan]

Okay, That's a fat dude. The AI made me fat.

[Mike D]

Morgan. No, Eddie, I don't think you're fat.

[Amy]

But I do think you have a dad bod.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Eddie]

But you're a dad.

[Morgan]

That's rude.

[Amy]

You're a dad.

[Mike D]

That's a good thing. How do you see yourself?

[Amy]

He works out.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Like, how do you see yourself fit.

[Morgan]

With maybe a little bit of fluff, but overall fit.

[Amy]

Yes, I would agree with that. He's overall fit.

[Eddie]

We didn't say you were unfit. You can be chubby and be fit.

[Mike D]

I would say you look strong. I don't know that I would use fit.

[Morgan]

No.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike D]

I wouldn't say fit, but I'd say strong. And. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Who cares?

[Mike D]

You got a little belly.

[Morgan]

That thing? Exact. So does AI exaggerate what it sees? Like, am I fit with a belly?

[Mike D]

I think you're. I don't think you're fit. I think you're strong. I think you're strong. I think you're strong with a belly.

[Morgan]

Strong with a belly. See, because, like, you, like, strong. Like, doesn't mean, like, I don't know, like, you can be kind of bigger and look strong. Like, Babe Ruth looked kind of strong.

[Mike D]

But those were different. So I think our general consensus is you're not fat, but you're probably not as skinny as you think you are.

[Morgan]

Okay, okay.

[Eddie]

But that dog.

[Morgan]

No.

[Mike D]

It'S fine. No, no, no.

[Morgan]

And then Morgan called me, said I had a dad.

[Amy]

Boss, you have. You've referred to yourself as having a dad.

[Mike D]

I think you have a strong dad bod.

[Morgan]

What does that mean? What does that mean?

[Amy]

Guys, I.

[Mike D]

You're the most sensitive, and we appreciate that for you and who you are, and, you know, you're very sensitive to people's bodies and stuff.

[Amy]

Yeah, I. This whole thing is stupid, but this is.

[Mike D]

He's the one that brought it.

[Morgan]

I want to know. I want to know.

[Mike D]

He's the one that was like, can I please get full honesty?

[Morgan]

Because I don't want to live my life thinking I look like something and then really, I look like that.

[Mike D]

I don't think you look like that, but I don't also think you look like what you think you look like. It's somewhere in the middle.

[Amy]

None of us look like the AI Thing. Like, nobody really looks like. All of our figurines look a little different.

[Mike D]

Why didn't send mine back to be redone.

[Morgan]

Yours didn't come back fat. Yours came back skinny.

[Mike D]

Mike, my head looks stupid. I look like Stephen Colbert on drugs. Yeah, but I didn't send it back.

[Morgan]

I wasn't worried about the face, like. Or the head, whatever. But when it came back, look, maybe me looking like a Oompa Loompa.

[Mike D]

So what do you take from this conversation? We're all honest with you. What did you learn here?

[Morgan]

I think Amy is being very, very nice. She said the nicest thing about me, but I think she's being sweet. Don't want to hurt myself.

[Mike D]

Sweet person. Two person does that.

[Morgan]

You were pretty honest with me.

[Mike D]

I think you're strong. Your arms are strong. Your back muscles are strong.

[Morgan]

I like that.

[Mike D]

I think you have. You still have a little belly.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And then lunchbox. I can't really take what he says because he's just, you know, saying things that make me mad. Yeah, Morgan. And Morgan's hurt. Morgan's hurt me a little bit.

[Amy]

You called yourself that so many times.

[Morgan]

I don't know, dude.

[Mike D]

Do you feel growth from this?

[Morgan]

Growth where I feel like I need.

[Mike D]

To look at myself more of an understanding.

[Morgan]

Sure about yourself. I'm fatter than I thought I was.

[Mike D]

You're not fat. You're not fat.

[Morgan]

You're gonna make me cry.

[Amy]

I'm also worried that Eddie sent his fat figurine to my old number. Did you?

[Morgan]

Oh, no.

[Mike D]

Amy's old number.

[Morgan]

And it's got, like, all my information on it.

[Amy]

Whoever has my old phone number is a minor, and they have threats to call the police. Oh.

[Morgan]

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

[Mike D]

Hey, they don't know. You ask them.

[Morgan]

Hey, and I don't look like that.

[Mike D]

Right? So send that. Send that number a picture of you shirtless and say this. It's time for the good news with Bobby. The golf tournament that just happened is the Masters. Correct. It's almost impossible to get tickets unless, like, you know somebody or you get in a lottery. And they still are very, very expensive, like, even to buy them secondary market. They were, like, 10,000 bucks a piece the last day.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Mike D]

That's how crazy it is. This kid named Lucas. Now, when he was 17, he was diagnosed with stage three large B cell lymphoma. And they didn't know how he was going to do because it was so bad, but he was able to fight cancer, become healthy, and when he got healthy, they said, hey, we're going to send you the Masters, because that's what he's always wanted to do. So him and his dad both got to go. He's in remission, completed his final round of chemo a year ago. He's been going to his oncology checkups. They've now reduced those to every six months from every three months. But he was like, man, I never thought I'd go to the Masters because it's impossible to get tickets and so expensive. But Make a Wish Hooked him up.

[Amy]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Mike D]

That's pretty cool.

[Amy]

And he got to go with his dad.

[Mike D]

Yeah. I probably wouldn't want to go with a friend, though, who knows CBS 17 with that story. Thought it was pretty cool. Lucas, man, happy for you. And make a wish. Great job. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. So I got bad news for everybody. Lunchbox cannot work on Friday. Oh, no. So he. So he says it's Good Friday. Yeah, right, Exactly. Go ahead.

[Eddie]

Unfortunately, this Friday is Good Friday and is a devout Catholic. I won't be able to come in. Work and religion are supposed to be separate.

[Mike D]

Are you reading off your computer right now?

[Eddie]

This is my statement.

[Mike D]

Okay. All right. Everybody set up straight. He's reading a statement. Go ahead.

[Eddie]

Work and religion are supposed to be separate, but Good Friday is one of the biggest days in the Catholic religion. Pretty sure this is a no questions asked kind of thing when it comes to me taking day off for religious reasons. If you have any questions, I Guess I can answer them. But just know that this is a. This Friday is a spiritual day for me and the Catholics. Thank you for understanding. Amen.

[Mike D]

Thank you for your remark. Oh, Amen. Wow. I didn't realize you can say amen.

[Morgan]

I have a question.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox. What is Good Friday like? Explain that to us.

[Eddie]

Good Friday is this Friday where we say thank you for everything that's good in our life and how good we've been, and we thank the good Lord above.

[Mike D]

A lot of good. He's a lot of good in there. Like Thanksgiving almost.

[Amy]

There's a very specific thing that happened.

[Mike D]

Don't worry.

[Eddie]

Oh, he was risen. No, that's when he died.

[Mike D]

It's. It's the crucifixion.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Mike D]

Okay, look.

[Eddie]

Because he's there Sundays when he's risen.

[Mike D]

You are not a devout Catholic, however you might be. I may. I may not even understand. In the past couple weeks, he has changed.

[Amy]

Whoa.

[Eddie]

Past couple weeks? I went to communion school back in the day. Got my First Communion when I was a teenager.

[Morgan]

Interesting.

[Mike D]

But you can't go back in the day because there have been so many times you have just not been devout. I think you're Catholic, but you normally don't care unless there's a way for you to get off work. Does that feel accurate, everybody?

[Amy]

Yes. Feels very.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

I'm gonna give him an opportunity now to get out of work. On Friday, we're gonna play the Catholic game show.

[Morgan]

I mean, he should dominate this.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Everybody, welcome to the show. Lunchbox. Welcome to the Catholic game. Every day is a good Friday.

[Eddie]

Would you like me to shout out my church? St. Albert, the great Catholic church.

[Mike D]

Where?

[Eddie]

Austin, Texas.

[Mike D]

You don't live in Austin. You haven't lived there in a decade.

[Eddie]

I understand, but that's where I grew.

[Mike D]

Up, going to church.

[Eddie]

It started out as a storage.

[Mike D]

What about now, though?

[Eddie]

There's St. Anne's I've been to. There's one downtown. I don't know the name of that one.

[Mike D]

Okay. You have to get five out of seven.

[Eddie]

No problem, man.

[Mike D]

If you get five out of seven, consider it a good Friday.

[Eddie]

Hallelujah.

[Mike D]

Okay, what's the name of the leader of the Catholic church? Pope one, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah. What up, guys?

[Morgan]

Good job, man.

[Mike D]

One step closer.

[Eddie]

That's right. Amen.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. This feels weird.

[Mike D]

How many days are in Lent, that is.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. 40 days, 40 nights.

[Mike D]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Boom.

[Morgan]

Did you count those in your head?

[Eddie]

He's like, I just had to go back to church, man. I just. I was there A couple weeks ago, when they were talking about it and.

[Morgan]

Like, no, now he's lying.

[Eddie]

Said, peace be with you.

[Mike D]

What's the name of the Catholic season leading up to Christmas?

[Eddie]

Catholic season. I never heard this before.

[Mike D]

I have. I'm not Catholic, and I've heard of.

[Eddie]

This leading up to Christmas.

[Mike D]

Lunch's background now is all Catholic church windows.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's so good.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. I was thinking the 12 days of Christmas, but that's not it.

[Mike D]

What's the name of the Catholic season leading up to Christmas?

[Eddie]

Holy Time.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. Holy Time.

[Mike D]

Almost. So whenever you get that. That little box and has all the doors, there's chocolates and there's.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's. Yeah. I don't know what it's called.

[Mike D]

It's called the Advent calendar.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but Advent, we never called it that growing up.

[Mike D]

What'd you call it? Good times.

[Eddie]

Holy Time.

[Amy]

Holy Time calendar.

[Mike D]

Well, you missed one.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we never. Around my house. We didn't call it. This is the Advent season.

[Amy]

I'm pretty sure you did.

[Mike D]

It's not about what you call it, though. It's about what it's called. You can't.

[Eddie]

No, I understand, but I'm just saying, like, we had an Advent calendar on the wall where we got the chocolate at church.

[Amy]

There's candles and you light them.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but we didn't call it Advent time. They didn't say, hey, welcome to Advent time.

[Mike D]

Well, it's not called Advent time.

[Eddie]

Regardless.

[Mike D]

You missed one. You can miss one more. Four questions left.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Name the three persons of the Holy Trinity.

[Eddie]

The Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

[Mike D]

Correct.

[Morgan]

He did the sign of the cross, too.

[Eddie]

That's what I do.

[Morgan]

Pretty good.

[Eddie]

Gotta make sure I remember it.

[Mike D]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Do it in order.

[Mike D]

What's the name of the day the Holy Spirit came to the apostles?

[Eddie]

That is.

[Mike D]

Holy Day.

[Eddie]

No. No, it's not Holy Day, man. Don't be disrespectful. The day they came to apostles.

[Mike D]

What's the name of the day the Holy Spirit came to the apostles?

[Eddie]

That is called. Hold on, hold on. Let me think. Punctuous Pilot.

[Morgan]

Punctuous Pilot. Interesting.

[Mike D]

What are you laughing at, Amy? That there's no chance that's right.

[Amy]

Punctious.

[Mike D]

If it's.

[Amy]

It's not right. But also, he's trying to think of Pontius Pilot.

[Mike D]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Well, you say differently.

[Mike D]

Oh, accent.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Accent. Got you.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's dialect.

[Mike D]

No, Pentecost.

[Amy]

He had the p. He knew it.

[Eddie]

Was a. I knew it was a pu.

[Mike D]

You have two left. You have to get both. Right.

[Eddie]

Oh, I have to get both. Okay. Oh, man. I better dial in, you know what I mean? All right, here we go.

[Mike D]

Come on, dial in.

[Eddie]

Let me say a little prayer real quick.

[Mike D]

Okay? Lord, no, don't do that. In what city does the pope live?

[Eddie]

Vatican City.

[Mike D]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Come on, guys.

[Mike D]

Now you're playing. Oh, we're playing for a day off?

[Eddie]

You guys thought I wasn't Catholic. Come on, now.

[Mike D]

None of us thought you're not Catholic. But we just think you use it at times to get off of work or to get out of something.

[Eddie]

I don't use God, okay? He uses me. I'm one of his people.

[Mike D]

Okay, what is the name of the special cabinet where the Eucharist is kept?

[Morgan]

Oh, zero chance.

[Mike D]

What?

[Amy]

I'm waiting for the Holy Ghost.

[Eddie]

Amy, are you laughing at us?

[Amy]

Everything's over. You just said.

[Eddie]

No, I said punctual pilot. Say it again, man. We may need to circle back.

[Mike D]

What's the name of the special cabinet where the Eucharist is kept?

[Eddie]

Oh, man, I've never been back there.

[Mike D]

Like. Like a medicine cabinet in the back? Yeah.

[Eddie]

I've never been back there where they keep the Eucharist. They never let me in the back of the church. It's not a safe. You know what I mean? Like, that is not it. Do we have another one we can circle back to that one, or are we.

[Mike D]

This seventh one, this is it.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. Man, and I've been so good this Lent season.

[Morgan]

He did another sign of the cross.

[Mike D]

What'd you give up for Lent?

[Eddie]

I gave up being rude.

[Mike D]

You didn't.

[Morgan]

You've done it.

[Mike D]

You didn't. And then you lied because you had to think of it real quick. No, go ahead.

[Eddie]

Keep this. Read it one more time, maybe. Sure. Maybe you can pronounce it better.

[Mike D]

What's the name of the special cabinet where the Eucharist is kept?

[Eddie]

Cabinet. That is the atom locker.

[Morgan]

Oh, man.

[Mike D]

What? The atom locker. Did you name it after Adam from Adam and Eve? You just pick locker because it says cabinet.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Mike D]

Yeah, that's wrong. It's the tabernacle.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We don't ever use that word. Never heard that. They never come up and say, hey, I got this out of the tabernacle.

[Morgan]

Well, we'll see you on Friday, man.

[Mike D]

Yeah, we'll all be here. Thoughts? Do you know the seven sacraments?

[Eddie]

No, I don't know.

[Mike D]

If you do, you can. Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

I don't know what that means.

[Amy]

Just guess.

[Morgan]

Gave up.

[Mike D]

Come on, guess.

[Amy]

7.

[Mike D]

I was gonna give you one bonus shot. Oh, you had to get all seven, though. You can do this.

[Eddie]

Seven sacraments. Charity, honor, loyalty, even.

[Mike D]

Like the Marines.

[Morgan]

Loaves and fishes.

[Amy]

Wait, but if he was a Habitat for you, man, like, what were you an altar boy or what? Did you.

[Mike D]

Jonah the Whale?

[Eddie]

Was I what? No, I was never an altar boy. I was not one those people.

[Amy]

Come on, like a boy. You said something. You did.

[Eddie]

No, no. I got my First Communion when I was a teenage.

[Mike D]

Weren't rude for L. You just called Al boys rude. Nerds.

[Morgan]

Nerds.

[Mike D]

Nerds.

[Eddie]

I mean, they always had to get there early, and they got to carry the Bible and the cross and. I mean, they had to wear the Al. I mean, it looked pretty. I was like, man.

[Amy]

But isn't that part of the process they had to do, like. That's the sacraments.

[Mike D]

Baptism, confirmation.

[Eddie]

I mean, I was just.

[Mike D]

I was of the sick. Marriage and holy orders.

[Eddie]

See, that's what I did. I did baptism, marriage.

[Mike D]

You want to hear the other ones, though?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

If we'd have been, I don't know, a tie or something. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

I'd have got him.

[Mike D]

Who betrayed Jesus?

[Eddie]

Satan?

[Mike D]

No.

[Morgan]

Well, I mean. I mean, is that what they taught you?

[Eddie]

That's what they remember.

[Morgan]

Oh, man.

[Mike D]

What do you think the answer was? I was looking for Judas.

[Morgan]

Judas.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Morgan]

Bones.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of plans. I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it.

[J]

I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This is this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out, and I have to figure it out now.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who helped put her behind bars.

[J]

This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it. And no one can stop me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

[Mike D]

All right, let's go around. Questions for the room.

[Amy]

Amy, Is it okay for my daughter to watch Handmaid's Tale?

[Mike D]

I would say yes, but more info about your daughter, please.

[Amy]

Well, she's 17, almost 18. In fact. She's turning 18 in, like, a week or something crazy like that. And I walked in on her watching Handmaid's Tale, and I was like, whoa, this is, like, heavy stuff. So if you're gonna watch it, let's watch it together. And that way, if she has any questions after, like, we can talk about it.

[Mike D]

It's fictional, though.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's fiction, but it's dark. It's dark. Like, it's so. I used to love that show. And then it got so dark, I had to stop watching it. And also scary, because what if that could happen one day?

[Mike D]

But what about. She loves horror movies. You let her watch horror movies?

[Amy]

She does love horror movies.

[Mike D]

I would say. Yes.

[Amy]

And she's also almost 18.

[Mike D]

I mean, that's the part that I just. I'm thinking, she's almost 18.

[Amy]

I know.

[Mike D]

So, yes. Okay.

[Amy]

We're good.

[Mike D]

Yes.

[Amy]

I figured. I just thought, okay, I'm gonna at least watch some of the episodes with her, so if conversations come up, we can maybe have a good talk about it.

[Mike D]

I don't think she's watching like, bees pollinate a flower, and you're like, this is what happens. I think it's fiction. It's. It's fiction.

[Amy]

I know.

[Morgan]

I've never seen it.

[Mike D]

What. What is awesome. It's based off a book. And so basically, I don't want to give too much away, but.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. I'm not gonna say anything. That's why I haven't said much. Because, like, what if someone's like, I just started Handmaid's Talent, Amy.

[Mike D]

It. War Gilead, I think, is the name of the town. They treat women as property of the state.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Well.

[Amy]

And if you like, also, maybe I got real sensitive to it because I'm not a fertile person. Like, I haven't been able to get pregnant, so I'm like, well, I wouldn't even. Like, I don't know. Where would I be? Like, it's like, they treat people like, if you can have babies, you're treated one way. If you can't, you're another. It's very disturbing.

[Mike D]

It is. And I. I feel like it fell off a little bit, but I thought it was a great show. But, yeah, dark. I think it's fine. She almost 18. You almost can't tell her what she can watch.

[Amy]

There's, like, violence, sexual assault, power abuse. It's heavy stuff.

[Mike D]

Smoking. They put that next to it sometimes on top, they're like, murder. Stabbing.

[Amy]

But it is smoking. It is kind of fun because now we'll be talking and she'll like. I'll ask her to do something, and she'll be like, praise be. And then when she leaves the house, she goes, peace be with you. So that part's kind of cute, but.

[Mike D]

If she goes like, hey, thanks, Chef. You're like, oh, cool. That one works. Yeah, I think it's fine. She's almost 18. I would say. No, if she's 13. Different story. The answer is probably no, but 17, almost 18. You're losing control of even asking questions about what you can let her do.

[Amy]

Well, she's in my house, but at.

[Mike D]

Least consume, like on tv.

[Amy]

I pay for everything.

[Mike D]

I hear you.

[Amy]

So.

[Mike D]

Okay. Eddie, you're up.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So I've never seen the movie Wicked, but.

[Mike D]

What?

[Morgan]

Wicked.

[Mike D]

Okay. Right.

[Morgan]

Wicked.

[Amy]

I thought you said Wicked, like something Wicked.

[Mike D]

Okay, go ahead.

[Morgan]

Well, I was talking to my sister because we were, like, thinking about watching it.

[Mike D]

It.

[Morgan]

And. And she was telling me what it was about. It's a prequel of wizard of Oz. And I said, so was Dorothy in it? She says, no, dummy. Like, Dorothy's not in it. It's a prequel. Dorothy wasn't even born or whatever. I said, no. This doesn't make any sense, because wizard of Oz, the whole story of the Wicked Witch and everyone is Dorothy's dream. So why isn't Dorothy in this movie?

[Mike D]

So I'm glad you asked this question. Dorothy is in it.

[Morgan]

She is in it.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Does she come out, like, as a character?

[Mike D]

I want to say any of that.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Mike D]

But the. The existence of Dorothy, if I'm correct, is a part of the production. I've not seen the movie. I've just seen. I've seen the play.

[Amy]

Yeah, I've only. I've seen.

[Mike D]

But the movie's also the first half. But the movie's only the first half of the play, too.

[Morgan]

Oh, so there's more.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So will there be a Wicked, too?

[Mike D]

Or Wicked, or, I don't know, even more Wicked? It's called Wicked for Good coming out this year. What? Wicked for Good. Oh, okay. There you go.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Mike D]

But, yeah, Dorothy is. And it's the prequel. It's literally Elphaba and Glenda and how they ended up being who they are. That's good.

[Morgan]

Did you like that movie? Oh, you haven't seen the movie, but you like the story of it?

[Amy]

Oh, awesome. He loves it.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I. I would.

[Mike D]

I can speak for me. Did you think I was gonna lie?

[Amy]

You do love it.

[Mike D]

I love it. I've.

[Amy]

You forgot.

[Mike D]

No, I didn't. It's. It's awesome. I don't watch the movie, but I loved the play.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Mike D]

But Dorothy does exist.

[Morgan]

Okay, good, because she must exist because it's her story.

[Mike D]

Okay, sure. Fair enough. Okay, here's my question. So we do the show, we travel around, and we go to different pro sports teams and college teams.

[Amy]

Too much access.

[Mike D]

Thank you. And so the only school to not let us come and work out with them is the University of Tennessee Basketball. And so we had the basketball coach on Rick Barnes, and I was like, hey, we want to come work out. And so now the question is, do I still want to go? Because this is what he said. Hit it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

You come up here this spring, and.

[Eddie]

You give me 15 minutes, I promise you I will do it, and we.

[Mike D]

Will do whatever you want to do with it.

[Eddie]

I just want to make.

[Mike D]

In 15 minutes, I'm going to bring.

[Eddie]

You to your knees, and you're going to be.

[Mike D]

Well, now. I don't want to do it.

[Eddie]

You want to work out? I mean, give me 50. You know what? I don't even think It'll take me 15 minutes. You know, I don't.

[Mike D]

So do I still want to go?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, you have to go. You have to go, because now I need to see if he can make you throw up within 15 minutes.

[Mike D]

Anybody can make anybody throw up in 10 minutes. All you have to do is really run them really hard. All sprints, but, like, it makes me second guess if I want to go. If he's just gonna go and torture.

[Amy]

Us, you have to go.

[Mike D]

So that's that question.

[Morgan]

So we're gonna go.

[Amy]

You have to go.

[Morgan]

Tbd.

[Amy]

That's funny.

[Mike D]

I don't like going anywhere where someone claims they're gonna bring me to my knees.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Mike D]

Just as a general rule. Yeah. Not really my thing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

All right. I have one more. I yesterday had reserved a spot. There's this pickleball place here in town, and you can go and it's called open play, and you can go and sign up. It costs 20 bucks, and you go and you just play. But I didn't want to do new school again.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Mike D]

I changed schools a bunch as a kid, and I hated it because you walk in and everybody knows each other and you don't know anybody there. And I show up with a paddle, and I'm like, hey, then I don't get picked to play.

[Amy]

Right.

[Mike D]

So I. I even paid the 20 bucks, and I didn't go because I didn't want to do new school. Am I a loser?

[Amy]

No. I think you had an old wound pop up, and that might be something. You now have information that you need to work through that so that you can show up.

[Mike D]

So then what do I need to do?

[Amy]

Well, work through the wound and then show up. I would bring that to your therapist.

[Mike D]

No, I pay for that crap. I'm going in. I was scared to go to pickleball.

[Amy]

What? Yeah. This is exactly. No, you just got information like you're. You Got and like, oh, wow, this from my childhood is still impacting me as an adult. That's exactly the kind of stuff that you take to your therapist.

[Mike D]

Did you ever change schools as a kid?

[Amy]

No, not like you. We did sixth grade to seventh grade. That's the only time anything crazy happened. I lived in the same house. I was 18.

[Mike D]

And so you stayed within the same system?

[Amy]

Same, same system. But I will say at sixth grade they opened up a new school. So in seventh grade we had to go over there, but it was way safer, so I felt good about it.

[Mike D]

Yeah, but you probably had friends though. It.

[Amy]

Yeah, everybody moved together.

[Mike D]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Morgan]

But every time you moved, though, didn't you eventually find your friend group?

[Mike D]

I hated friend group. I have friends. Oh.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike D]

Mostly I was reminded I didn't have a friend group.

[Morgan]

Sorry I brought that up.

[Mike D]

You walk in, they open the door like, this is the new kid in class, his name's Bobby. And everybody looks at you because it's right in the middle of the class.

[Amy]

Yeah, but so adults don't really act that way anymore. So, like, if you go to a new pickleball place.

[Mike D]

Thanks, guys.

[Morgan]

Yeah, usually the adults will be like, who's this guy?

[Eddie]

Yeah, don't do that.

[Amy]

Pickleball. No, it's different. I bet they'd be like, oh, wow, we know what it's like when we first came. Like, you want to play?

[Mike D]

You think they're gonna empathize with my feelings when I walk in? Okay, there you go. So they asked a poll. If your adolescent self met you right now, would they be proud or disappointed? So your adolescent self is not really going to know about growth or any of that stuff. They're just gonna see you as you are and be like, that's cool. Or that's not adolescent. What? 12, we go. Can we sign 12? Yeah, the age 12 to it. If you're. If you're a 12 year old met you and they went back and they're told their friends, would they think you were cool or not? Dang deep, deep stuff there.

[Morgan]

Yeah, really deep. Because I mean, what were you thinking at 12? Like what you thought you were gonna be? Because that's where my mind's going. Like at 12 I was like, I'm gonna be a rock star, a professional athlete.

[Mike D]

You can lead then.

[Amy]

Whoa.

[Mike D]

What would your 12 year old think of you?

[Morgan]

Okay. So my 12 year old comes to my house. I got forced.

[Mike D]

It's you. It's you, though. And he. Yeah, he knows that you're him.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

As an adult, what's he think about you?

[Morgan]

I think honestly, my 12 year old self would be disappointed because really, my 12 year old self thought that I was going to be a rock star. Like it would think he would think that I would, he would show up and I'd be on the road somewhere big, sold out show with a bunch of other rock acts. No. Disappointed because you thought that at 12.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I thank you for your honesty, Amy.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, yeah. My 12 year old self is super proud. Oh, excited. Thinks it's so cool. I work in country music. It's so fun. I've adopted two kids. Like what? This is crazy. I mean, she's gonna be a little disappointed that I got divorced, but she'll get over that. She'll get over that. She'll be like, oh, look. Yeah. You know. Yeah, yeah. She's happy, she's thrilled. Actually. She's also probably a little confused because she probably thought she was gonna be a stay at home mom, but she's not. She likes, she likes the work.

[Mike D]

So you think yours will be proud?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Your toy will be around.

[Amy]

Yeah. I far exceeded any expectations I had.

[Mike D]

For myself from your 12 year old self.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Got it. Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

My 12 year old self would be shocked, I would say, because at 12 years old I thought the real world was the path and that was what I was gonna do. But my 12 year old self would be like, man, you still became famous without making it on the real world. We thought the real world was the only path to fame and we took a different avenue. So they're gonna be like, man, and they're gonna look at me in my early 20s and late teens when I was hitting the bars and I mean, just women all around me, they're gonna be like, they're not gonna.

[Mike D]

They're gonna know that they're just gonna meet you now.

[Eddie]

Oh, just now?

[Mike D]

Yeah, they're just gonna. They knock, they knock on your door, you're 12 year old. Hey, I was told you're me. Wow.

[Eddie]

Wow. Look at how successful you are. You are famous.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I mean, you have a wife. That may be a little surprising. I've kept three humans alive for, you know, three years, which is pretty amazing. But I think they would be presently shocked that I made it without making it on the real world, that I am famous like I said I was going to be.

[Mike D]

Would they be disappointed that you're not on the real World?

[Eddie]

They would be disappointed that I didn't have more of A TV career. And it just.

[Mike D]

Have you told them about what's coming up, though? Because you can, you can be like, hey, I'm going.

[Eddie]

I mean, I am going to be on the Pigeon Forge TV show. Yeah, yeah, that's coming up. It's going to come out, I think in June maybe is when it's going to broadcast on YouTube. TV.

[Mike D]

YouTube?

[Morgan]

That might make.

[Mike D]

No, not on YouTube. TV. On YouTube.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Mike D]

No, YouTube TV is basically a cable network. It just runs all the channels. YouTube is where you upload videos.

[Amy]

Like anybody can upload video.

[Eddie]

We could argue till the, you know, the night is blue or whatever.

[Mike D]

None of that makes sense.

[Eddie]

But. But yes, my Pigeon Forge, I'm going to be on their TV show. So, yeah, maybe a little disappointed, but also like proud that I am famous, that I have clout. Because that's what I wanted when I was 12. I saw it and I, that's. I was like, that is what I need.

[Mike D]

Clout.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, disappointed. I don't have, you know, more money probably.

[Mike D]

Why? What do you think? What do you think would happen there?

[Eddie]

I just. Because when I was 12, I just. All I thought about was like getting rich too. I was like, I'm gonna be so rich. And it hadn't happened. And so that's a little disappointing. So the 12 year old's gonna be like, man, you're still grinding. Like, I thought you were gonna hit it big.

[Morgan]

And usually like rich and famous go together, but with him, I guess it's just famous, not rich.

[Mike D]

But is it famous? That's the question I asked, what he thinks. Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so it's a little weird. It's a mixed bag of emotions for my 12 year old self.

[Mike D]

Wow, Good for you. Yeah, good for you. I. I think my 12 year old would think it was awesome.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, dude.

[Mike D]

I think my 12 year old will.

[Morgan]

Be like, firstly, knock up your door. Be like, whoa, you live here?

[Mike D]

My 12 would be like, what the crap? This even real? Yeah, my 12 year old. Then I have to explain to him why there were elements of sacrifice. But he didn't carry 12. He's only 12.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I didn't care about that.

[Mike D]

No need to talk about. Yeah, my 12 year old would freaking love it. He'd be like, can I just live here now?

[Morgan]

I'm not going, man.

[Mike D]

I'd be like, yeah, you sure can. This is awesome.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Mike D]

So, yeah, I think mine would be. They asked all like 10,000Americans. 61 said a mix of both. I feel like that's kind of an unfair. I think you kind of have to pick one, but okay. Disappointed beat proud.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's sad. It's true.

[Mike D]

But though isn't that expected? Because when we're young, we have these crazy. We all have these. These dreams of. Of the greatest thing that we see and can think of. All the dreams are the greatest thing and everybody can't do the greatest thing that they think of.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So like my kids think they're gonna be like in the NBA. Like, no doubt. And then one of my kids said, if I don't make the NBA, I guess I'll just work. I'll just go in the NFL. Okay. Keep working at it.

[Mike D]

Didn't you get Scuba? Steve still thinks he could have played in the NBA. Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

My 12 year old self will be hella pissed at me.

[Mike D]

Why?

[Morgan]

Because you're not in the NBA. You're not balling.

[Eddie]

What are you doing?

[Morgan]

You're sitting behind a desk in a chair. You're not moving anywhere.

[Mike D]

But I think your old self thought you were getting in the NBA too.

[Eddie]

Probably. Yeah, they'd also be pissed off.

[Mike D]

Yeah, but I think you were never getting in the NBA. I never.

[Morgan]

I mean, obviously. Yeah.

[Mike D]

Okay. Hey, that's a little therapy there, huh?

[Morgan]

Dang. Yeah.

[Mike D]

Eddie, yours was kind of sad. I'm not gonna lie. We started kind of sad and then.

[Morgan]

Think mine would see me? Bald man.

[Mike D]

Oh, no. It's time for the good news with Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Thomas Grady is an off duty correctional officer. He's driving down the highway in California, got his dog, the K9 in the back, and he sees a Honda CRV leave the roadway, flip several times, boom. Hit a utility pole and burst into flames. He's like, I gotta do something. He runs and he pulls the teenage girls out of the sunroof while the car is on fire. And you're thinking, well, why am I telling you about the dog? Luckily, it's an emotional support dog. So the dog was able to comfort the girls while paramedics arrived.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Mike D]

The people that run into fires shout out. Because I run away from them.

[Morgan]

Right. That's what we do.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Out. Yeah. Like, oh no, get away from that. 91 1, come help me. I don't know what I would do, but I would think I would call 911 and hopefully I would go. But for sure he did that. Me, I don't know.

[Eddie]

But luckily the sunroof was open.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, how CR crazy is that?

[Amy]

Makes me want to keep mine open more, I guess.

[Mike D]

Wonder how hard it'll be to kick that in?

[Morgan]

Probably hard.

[Mike D]

You think so?

[Morgan]

It doesn't look very thin.

[Mike D]

I might kick a sunroof in. Yeah. What's his name again? Let's rock.

[Eddie]

His name is Thomas Grady and the dog's name was Anna.

[Mike D]

Thomas Grady. You are a real hero, man. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones. Time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Amy]

What do you call it when a cow spies?

[Mike D]

What do you call it when a.

[Amy]

Cow spies a stakeout?

[Mike D]

I forgot that was the morning corny. I did an hour long interview with Chris Tomlin. It's his second time being on the Bobby cast. Sold more than 12 million albums, 7 billion streams. He's won 30 Dove awards. A good, good father. Here's a song. You're a good, good father. It's who you. This Good Friday shows coming up. It's awesome. We went last year. Coming up a couple days. And so he's a Christian artist. So I talked about if people curse around you, does it bother you? And they're like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Because it happens to me too, because I don't curse. I'm like, oh, I didn't mean to say a bad word. It doesn't bother me when people curse. Let me say that. It bothers me when people think that for some reason, because I do what I do again, that they. That it feels weird. I'm just like, come on, man, it's normal. I feel the same way. May not say it the same way. Right? The same way. Like, it's always bugged me so much and obviously, like, come on, bro, don't say that. Then I asked him, hey, you're a Christian artist. Do you feel the need? Do you. Do you feel the pressure to outwardly love Christmas even more than maybe you do because you're Christ guy, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here you go. I love it anyway, but yes, I do. I'm not Mr. Christmas, but I love it. I love the music. Christmas, I love. I love everything about it.

[Morgan]

It.

[Mike D]

When do you. When do you put up the Christmas tree at your house? The Christmas tree is right after Thanksgiving. Okay. So that's normal. Yeah, that's boring. We should change that. You should do like, when you text all your friends, this one's it. You should do July 5th. And you like, you're like, you know, July 5th. Following me. July 5th. I feel it, guys. Christmas every day. So Chris Tomlin's awesome if you love his music. You'll love his podcast. Search for the Bobby Cast to hear the full interview. Easy. Just go subscribe. It's awesome, Bones. You think this is cute or you think it's lame? Two newlyweds got married underwater. It's kind of where they met, but here you go. Getting married underwater has its challenges. For example, you can't speak, so both bride and groom are using cue cards and hand signals. And how do they feel now? It's all official.

[Amy]

I feel really lucky that we've been.

[Mike D]

Able to do something like this.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And so many mad friends who are.

[Mike D]

Willing to do it with us. Yeah. Muffins just keep clutching on my dress and tripping me over. Cute or lame, baby? Cute. Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Stupid lame. You don't even say I. Do you hold up a card?

[Mike D]

I mean.

[Amy]

Yeah, because you can't talk underwater.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's so fun.

[Mike D]

Ready?

[Morgan]

I think it's really cute. That's what they like to do. This is cute.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

I thought at first when I saw the store they were going to be in, like, the ocean or something. It was just a pool. Oh, wait.

[Amy]

What?

[Morgan]

Changes things a little bit.

[Amy]

I missed that part. Does it?

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, I totally thought they were in the ocean.

[Morgan]

Me, too.

[Amy]

They.

[Mike D]

They did meet while scuba diving, but they're in a pool when they got married. It's still cute. Guys. Don't be haters. Don't be haters.

[Eddie]

They.

[Mike D]

It just matters. What matters?

[Morgan]

I just pictured them in the ocean.

[Mike D]

To be fair, I did, too, but they are in the pool.

[Morgan]

I might change my answer.

[Amy]

Like, what pool? Why they. Why didn't they do the ocean?

[Mike D]

It looks like it's the Y. I'll be honest with you. It looks like it's a. It's like it's a Y. There's guys doing laughs next. Yeah, no, there is. It's a lap pool. I still.

[Amy]

It's still cute.

[Mike D]

What matters to them is what matters. So I'm still going cute. Everybody's still cute.

[Eddie]

No.

[Mike D]

Well, you never were.

[Eddie]

I know, man.

[Morgan]

I might change the lame.

[Mike D]

Oh, no, no.

[Morgan]

Change it to lame.

[Mike D]

Why? Because it wasn't ocean.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I thought there would be. Because they met scuba diving. Maybe in the ocean, that's where they get married. But in a pool, that's not really. It's not cool.

[Mike D]

Hey, I want to play voicemail one about weddings. Go ahead.

[Amy]

My fiance and I are getting married.

[Mike D]

At the end of June, and we are both big fans, but we've been wondering, what is your favorite thing that you've ever experienced As a guest at.

[Amy]

A wedding, we're trying to, you know, plan a very special day for us and for our guests. Love you guys.

[Mike D]

Have a great day. It's a great question. I think you could also use, if you did something at your wedding that you think people enjoyed. But yeah, as a guest at a wedding, like, what's been cool that you've experienced and you're like, oh, that's, that's nice.

[Amy]

I, I like the idea of guests will probably hate this, but I like that we had to give up our phones at your wedding.

[Mike D]

Yeah, I like that too, because it.

[Amy]

It just helped you be present and in the moment. And I thought that part was cool. And then also, oh, this is also from your wedding. But this also costs money. But having like a after late night snack, like you had those Sonic stuff. I mean, it doesn't have to be that or like other people who had Taco Bell. Somebody.

[Mike D]

I'm sure somebody on earth has.

[Amy]

Yeah, No, I thought we knew did that. Like just like a late night, like when everybody's leaving, they get this little treat.

[Mike D]

Yeah, we did. Sonic. So the Sonic people showed up as the wedding was over with all the.

[Morgan]

Food, but you guys left. You and Caitlyn left and we ate Sonic. Yeah, that was cool.

[Mike D]

That's what happens.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Yeah, we left.

[Morgan]

And then to add to Amy's. Your wedding. I mean, Ronnie Dunn singing at your wedding.

[Amy]

That was really cool.

[Mike D]

So did Rascal Flats. So did Dan Chase. I mean.

[Morgan]

Yeah, do that.

[Amy]

Also, those harps at your wedding were pretty cool. They were like floating in the water. Huh.

[Morgan]

That's cool.

[Amy]

Yeah. I wouldn't say anything really from my.

[Mike D]

Wedding, but your wedding, I would say, oh, it was tough though. It was on New Year's Eve.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

I would say. The good thing is that was fun, though.

[Amy]

Y'all had something to do. Like sometimes people are like, what are we going to do for New Year's Eve? And I was like, no problem. That's. I'm getting married. So. And we threw the party.

[Eddie]

It was a problem, though. It was a small wedding, not a lot of single chicks. I mean, it was like, wow, what are we doing?

[Amy]

Yeah, let's walk the left.

[Mike D]

Yeah, I have. Okay. So I would say, what, like, weddings I've been to that have been cool. They're all the same.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they are.

[Amy]

I have at Lunchbox's wedding, he had those, like, light up or thingies.

[Eddie]

Yeah, sticks.

[Amy]

The light up sticks. That was fun at the reception, whenever he's dancing and jumping around with those yeah, they were like, keep hitting me.

[Mike D]

In the head with them. Yeah.

[Amy]

But it. It was still fun. Like, I feel like that was, like, a fun thing that you could add that doesn't cost a lot of money. And then also, if you don't like cake, you don't have to conform to that. Like, my friend got married last year, and she doesn't like cake, so she had an ice cream bar.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's good.

[Amy]

With, like, cookies and ice cream. So just do what you want. You don't have to, like, have the traditional things if you don't want to.

[Mike D]

I would say the thing that we did. This wasn't a wedding I went to, but we did that. I recommend to people is I would have a dance after everybody's gone, because.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike D]

That whole day, that whole night is just like, everybody's either stressed or you're having to meet 100 people or say hi to people because you feel like you want to. Everybody came to the wedding. So after everybody, like, moved up before, we kind of left, we just had a. Like, a. I guess a last dance. We had a first dance, then we had a last dance where it was just us dancing with nobody else except, like, the DJ that was playing music because we kind of wanted to talk about the night or talk about what had happened while we were there. Just usually, like, I recommend doing that.

[Amy]

I like that.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

For you guys specifically, that are getting married, what are we gonna say?

[Eddie]

Open bar.

[Morgan]

Well, that's always nice.

[Eddie]

Whenever I go to a wedding and it's open bar, it's so much more.

[Mike D]

Fun than It's a money thing, though.

[Eddie]

I'm just saying it's more memorable. You want to make it special, have an open bar.

[Morgan]

Memorable.

[Amy]

Okay, but there are ways. Like, you don't have to have liquor. Like, you could just do beer and wine. That's a way to keep it the cost down.

[Mike D]

Thoughts on that?

[Morgan]

Oh, Mike D. Had a margarita machine. Yeah, that was. Was awesome. Unlimited margaritas.

[Eddie]

That was pretty good, too.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Was it unlimited? Yeah.

[Morgan]

And that wasn't too expensive. Wasn't mine.

[Mike D]

Not too bad. Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Anybody else? Morgan, you want to add anything?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. One of my friends had a Mac and cheese bar, and I still think about that every day.

[Eddie]

Every day.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, like a fun photo booth, too, where your guests can, like, take a picture.

[Mike D]

Do we have one of those?

[Amy]

You did.

[Mike D]

Nice.

[Amy]

Yeah, man.

[Mike D]

My. I wish I would have got to do my wedding.

[Morgan]

Your wedding was pretty cool.

[Mike D]

I was too busy getting married. You guys got to do all the fun stuff. That's crazy. Hey, congratulations, Kelly. I hope it goes awesome.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar. I host a podcast called A Slight Change of Plan. I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it.

[J]

I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out, this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out, and I have to figure it out now.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who helped put her behind bars.

[J]

This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it. And no one can stop me.

[Dr. Maya Shankar]

[Morgan]

This is the.

[Mike D]

Let's go to JP in D.C. who's disappointed in Lunchbox about the game we played. Hey, jp.

[Morgan]

Good morning, studio.

[Mike D]

Morning. What's up, buddy? Hey. The question that Lunchbox missed about who betrayed Jesus, he states that his favorite movie is Braveheart. And in the movie Braveheart, William Wallace mentions he might as well be Judas.

[Eddie]

Does he remember that quote from the movie?

[Mike D]

So, aside from not knowing it from the Bible, what You claimed you wanted out of work because Friday is Good Friday.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's Good Friday. It's an important day for us Catholics.

[Mike D]

Yeah. You also quote Braveheart a lot.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but that's not one of those lines that sticks out. It's not one of the fiery speeches where he's, you know, leading them into battle. So, I mean, sorry, that doesn't stick out to me.

[Mike D]

I feel you, jp. I was a little disappointed, too.

[Eddie]

And if he betrayed William Wallace, that's not the same thing as. I wouldn't know what that means. Oh, I might as well be Judas. That doesn't stick out to me because it wouldn't.

[Mike D]

Yeah. I guess we just assume since you're so religious and you wanted off work for religious day, that you would know Judas was all good. Just checking.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I know who Judah and the lion is. I've heard of that.

[Mike D]

It's a band. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Different.

[Eddie]

Judas Priest.

[Mike D]

It's a band.

[Eddie]

Heard of them? Yeah. So, I mean, I'm going to talk to my priest and see what he says.

[Mike D]

And his name.

[Eddie]

Priest John.

[Morgan]

Priest John.

[Eddie]

It's really Father John.

[Mike D]

Yeah. No, you can't. You can't find your groove now. Jp, thank you. All right, thanks, guys. Have a good day, guys. Yeah, thank you.

[Eddie]

Thanks a lot, man. That's really rude.

[Mike D]

What I want to do now, because we're here to look for you guys. There are people that care in this world. Us and Priest John. And we care. Scam alert. Scam alert. So we don't want you to get suckered in by these scams. Amy has one now. What do you have?

[Amy]

This is a new email scam I've never seen before, but I got an email that said, hey. A few months ago, I gained access to your devices and started tracking your online activity. In gathering information about you, I discovered that you are a big fan of adult websites.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Mike D]

So they probably were in your computer. Oh, no.

[Amy]

Obviously that I'm not, like, alarmed, so I'm not clicking anything. However, if I was. If I wasn't to this, I might start paying attention. You really enjoy visiting porn sites. I have proof of you watching them. With a few clicks, all your videos will be sent to your friends, colleagues, and relatives. I think you really don't want that, given the specifics of the videos you like to watch. And then in parentheses they go. You know exactly what I mean. It would lead to a real disaster for you if you transfer me 800 in Bitcoin.

[Mike D]

800 what?

[Amy]

Not 800, just $800. $800 in Bitcoin has a dollar Sign Dollars.

[Mike D]

Got it. Okay, 800 bitcoin would be like a ton.

[Amy]

Okay, so it says $800 in Bitcoin. As soon as the transfer is received, I will immediately delete all these records and your data from my servers. After that, we'll forget about each other. Don't try to contact the police or other security services. Also, forget about telling your friends about it. It's just business and you don't want to mess with me.

[Mike D]

So this probably works on about 70 of dudes that get this email where even if they end up not believing it for a second, their heart skipped somebody's.

[Morgan]

They're watching me.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Because so many dudes are probably all up in that.

[Morgan]

Is this blackmail? It sounds like blackmail.

[Mike D]

Yeah, that's absolutely blackmail.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's 100.

[Mike D]

So I could see where dudes who were worried about their Internet history being out there would send them bitcoin. That's a pretty good scam. Hopefully nobody falls for it. That's a pretty good scam.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Amy, did your heart beat a little bit?

[Amy]

No, I just said it. It didn't because I don't visit these sites. So to Me, I was just like, oh, show prep.

[Eddie]

It was also well written.

[Mike D]

Like, there wasn't, like, English translation issues, which happens sometimes. If you send me, yes. Best Bitcoin, you're like, man, you almost got it. Like, you would have had me if you'd have just been a little. What, that?

[Amy]

Yeah, I guess it was pretty clean like that. Because normally there's, like, me thinks you really don't want this.

[Mike D]

All right, so there's your scam alert. I did get the toll one the other day in my text. It's like, you need to pay this on a toll. We don't have toll roads here. So it's just a numbers game with these scams. So they're gonna send that out to 10, 000 people, and they're gonna put PayPal in there. They're gonna say, your PayPal account's been hacked. They're gonna say, your Netflix account's been hacked. Any of these things that we all have or that a lot of people have, they're going to use and put logos in. The one thing that I can say that works for me to make sure I'm not being scammed, is go to the sender email address, like, right click, and see what that email address really is. If it's something super funky like elementop, jklklmlop.com that's not real, or if it's at a hotmail. If it's from Netflix, it's going to be netflix.com, not netflix2x's com. So that's the way to really find out. So, yeah. Good. I hope your videos don't come out. Yeah, unless she's, like, getting ahead of it and hiding in plain sight, and she knows it's coming out, so she's doing this scam alert. You guys can call us 877-77. Bobby. There's a study out about tattoos, and so they're looking at links between tattoos and cancer.

[Amy]

What? Yeah, well, we have tattoos.

[Mike D]

A lot of people do. We're gonna talk about that in the next segment in the news, so we'll get to that in a bunch more. Back in a second. A new study has looked into any possible links between tattoos and cancer. In the study, researchers claim there may be an increased likelihood of cancer, especially skin cancer and lymphoma, in people with large tattoos. By large, researchers are referring to tattoos bigger than the size of your palm. So I do have the full state of Arkansas on my back of my forearm, but it's smaller than my. It's about that size about the palm? Yeah. Maybe a little smaller. They call it dose effect, where the more ink that's injected, the greater the chance of triggering an inflammatory response. The research also specifically cited red and black inks as potential contributors. I feel like this is like phones and cancer. Like, they've been trying to find the links and been trying to prove this for a while. Not that they're like wild goose chasing this, because I'm sure there are links to a lot of things. I'm sure there's radiation coming through through a lot of stuff that we don't know. Same thing with tattoos, because it really just can't be super safe to inject a bunch of ink in your body permanently. And I have, like, five tattoos. I'm basically a biker. And I'm saying that, yeah, everything about me screams biker. Like, that guy's trouble. So that's from Futurosciences. Your thoughts, Amy?

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm not totally concerned about mine anymore since mine are like an inch big and I'm getting them lasered off too, so I guess. But once the damage is done, I wonder even if you've lasered, because the ink is already in you.

[Mike D]

Yeah. Yeah. I got some pretty big black spots here.

[Amy]

Yeah, you do.

[Morgan]

You guys have black and red ink?

[Mike D]

Well, black. Like, I got the microphone on the inside of my forearm when I got put in the radio hall of fame. I have my mom and my grandma's initials. I have really small mirror ball when I went dancing with the stars. I have the state of Arkansas. I have the dragon that runs all the way down into my. My butt. All of my back starts from the back of my head all the way down.

[Morgan]

The tail goes to your butt. Yeah.

[Amy]

It's weird.

[Mike D]

Yeah. And the dragon's like, flipping off Russia. It's a whole mural. It took, like, years. Now, none of that's true, but the other stuff's true in my heart. Yeah. So anyway, I'll let you know if there's an update.

[Amy]

I did stop using my AirPods, though. Since you bring up phones, I've started to use headphones with a wire to my phone.

[Mike D]

Oh, and related news, I sleep with one AirPod in, and I always find it like. Like when I wake up, like, in my back or like in my top of my butt crack or something, because it falls out and then I roll around. It only stays in until I fall asleep, but I need something to fall asleep. And the transition from sleeping with television on because my wife's like, man, this is difficult for me. But I did my whole life because I never had a bedroom. I slept in the living room on the couch. The TV was always on. So my whole adult life I just kept the TV on when I slept. It was difficult for her. She was a good sport. She was like, man, this is hard. I said, okay, I'll just do a podcast. And so I keep the pod. I turn the podcast on next to my bed, but I'd have it up loud. And so she's having to hear Bill Simmons or Colin Cowherd every night. And so I was like, you know, I think I can take one for the team. So I put one AirPod in on the side that isn't like if I sleep on my right side, I put it in my left ear. The problem is my right side then goes dead and I have to turn over to the other side. Then it hurts when I put that side of my head on the pillow. Yeah, I lose it halfway through the night. It ends up in one of my holes. And then I wake up and rinse, repeat. But yeah, since you took your. I guess I'm making up for it. Okay, I'm sleeping with it in.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know. I have y'all heard about that though, like the wire, all the wireless stuff we're using. How could be.

[Mike D]

I know, but you went full no microwave for a long time out of your house.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. And now I have one. So I guess, you know, I'll probably go back to my AirPods at one point soon. But I have made the switch.

[Mike D]

I can't tell you. Wrong. But I can't tell you I do sleep one ear and it ends up somewhere in my body by the morning. Dyed potatoes is happening during Easter because eggs have gotten so high.

[Morgan]

Oh no.

[Mike D]

Potatoes do have advantages over eggs. They're much cheaper. $5 a bag and eggs are a dozen eggs $6 and sorry, a five pound bag. A five pound bag is $3 a dozen eggs is $6. You don't need to boil your potatoes in advance like the eggs. Any left over from biodegradable as well, like potatoes, Just leave them out in the yard. So people are doing potatoes and dying potatoes. Good luck. Early lunch. It's okay to eat lunch at 10am in the morning.

[Amy]

Okay, well, I guess depends on when you ate breakfast. Sure.

[Mike D]

Or just in general.

[Morgan]

I think that's when McDonald's switches over too.

[Mike D]

Starting over at 10am Each day, your metabolism could be hitting its peak. The average person's metabolism is highest between 10am and noon. It Provides people with a stronger digestive function, Making it the best time to eat your lunch. From Northwestern Medicine. I always hated when I worked at Hobby Lobby if I had an early break. Because if you get stuck with early break, you have a really long rest of the day. So not even lunch. And lunches would shift a bit. But if I had early break and early lunch, two thirds of the day was after and it was miserable because there was nothing to look forward to except the day being over. So, yeah, that sucks. Next up, smiley happy people from Ohio State University. Experts say to pump up your mood every morning before work, they say you need to pump yourself up. So if you go in smiling, even faking happiness, eventually you just get happier. And not only that, even if you are faking it to your employer, happy people are more valuable. And that's generally if you like to be around people, you like to hire the people that you want to be around. I mean, any interview that I've ever done with people, they can be awesome. But if they're just not likable or if I don't think they'd vibe, no chance.

[Amy]

The energy's off.

[Mike D]

Not a big energy guy. But yes, a different word would be if I just don't like them.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike D]

So, yeah, sure.

[Amy]

So, like, walk into work smiling.

[Mike D]

Yeah, you're smiling. People think, well, they're happy. They want to be around you more. And so if that's the case, who's up for a promotion? I don't know. Smiley Amy looks pretty good.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox came in smiling.

[Mike D]

We'd be like, okay, but we know him. Yeah, yeah, he's up to something. And then finally, this one's wild. I'm gonna spend a second on it. From wsnv. A TV anchor's ex wife's arrested in a murder for hire plot after hiring a hitman to make him disappear. The former wife of a local television anchor was arrested after she was caught red handed by an undercover cop for hiring a hitman to make her husband, quote, disappear. Angela Solomon, who now goes by Angie Huffines on social media, was arrested Friday in Franklin, Tennessee, right outside of Nashville for allegedly hiring a hitman to murder her ex husband, Aaron Solomon.

[Morgan]

What the.

[Mike D]

The Franklin Police Department confirmed that Angela was arrested and charged with solicitation to commit first degree murder against Aaron. She was taken into custody on $500,000 bond. She had allegedly told the undercover officer that she wanted her ex husband to, quote, quote, disappear and be put underground. She also allegedly said that her ex's death would provide her Daughter access to a trust fund and gave the officer the registration on her vehicle as collateral. Remember, the officer is the hitman. A hitman, but not really. He's faking as it. She's also allegedly told the officer where he could locate her ex husband and how to find him.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike D]

Like, how often does this actually work? Because we hear a lot of people unsuccessfully hiring hitmen. We never actually hear stories about people successfully hiring hitmen.

[Eddie]

Very rare. Does it work?

[Mike D]

I don't know. We don't know because we don't know when it works.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Mike D]

We have no idea. People get killed all the time. We have no idea if it really was an accident or a hitman. But, man, how do you find a good hitman?

[Morgan]

I mean, we're talking like a hitman is like a. A profession. Like, I think if you just found, like, my cousin, you'd probably do it for me.

[Mike D]

Like somebody who's shady, and it's like, I can use a little money.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Mike D]

Been in trouble, but yeah, but don't.

[Amy]

You want a professional? Like, you don't want someone that's desperate because then they make mistakes.

[Mike D]

It just depends how much money you. You have and how desperate you are. Because I would assume if you're hiring a hitman, that's out of desperation.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, what she was wanting her daughter to have access to the trust fund. Like, that doesn't seem that desperate. Like, this is not like, I feel like desperate would mean, like, my desperation would be. I have to be fearing for my own life to take somebody else's. Even then I'm still not gonna want to do it.

[Mike D]

Desperation comes in all ways. I would assume it's more than just the daughter and the trust fund, because this is like. Like what it sounds to me like is, man, they hate. She hates this person.

[Morgan]

I mean, she said put them underground.

[Mike D]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Disappear.

[Mike D]

And if I'm that cop, I'm gonna be honest with you. If I'm the cop and I'm faking as a hitman, I'm trying not to giggle.

[Morgan]

I know, but that's so much fun.

[Mike D]

It's like being in church and you try not to laugh. And she's like this. I'm like, she has no idea.

[Morgan]

Dude, that's got to be a great job. I'm about to arrest the crap out of her.

[Amy]

Oh, man. It does say here that a video posted on YouTube showed his daughter claiming that he's a monster.

[Mike D]

Oh, I'm not really gonna believe allegedly any of that. I don't know. And also, parents can make kids say all kinds of stuff whenever there's a dispute between parents. Don't know enough about that. But I do know that it's gotta work some and we just don't know it.

[Morgan]

Sure.

[Eddie]

And so what happens? That money that she paid the cop, like, who gets that money? Because she had to put a deposit down, Right? I mean, you had to give him some money.

[Morgan]

Does the government keep that?

[Mike D]

That? I'm sure it goes into some sort.

[Eddie]

Of evidence or maybe it goes into trust fund.

[Mike D]

Yeah, yeah. Crazy story happened right down the road. Dang.

[Eddie]

Women are crazy, man.

[Mike D]

I don't know. That's just a woman thing. That's a woman specifically there. But I don't think it's always just women. But I do like when people try to go to hire a hitman.com and think that's a real site, but it was actually just built as like a joke. But people do try to hire hitmen. What are you looking up over there?

[Amy]

It's. I'm just reading about it. I again, guess I'm trying to picture in my mind what maybe the full story is, which obviously, I don't know. I'm piecing things together, but it seems pretty messy and sad.

[Mike D]

I would think so if you're hiring a hitman to kill somebody.

[Morgan]

Was he a local news anchor here?

[Mike D]

She. No, I think it was a she that was a news anchor.

[Morgan]

Oh, she.

[Mike D]

Oh, it was a he.

[Amy]

He was.

[Morgan]

Mr. Solomon.

[Mike D]

I'm saying the wife was the one hiring the. The news. The wife was hiring the hitman.

[Eddie]

Kill the news anchor.

[Mike D]

A former wife of a local television. Yeah, yeah. Yep. It's a she that's in trouble. Yes. Got it.

[Eddie]

They also had tragedy a couple years ago is when her, the husband and the son were somewhere like at a baseball practice. Baseball field. And the son's truck ran over him and killed him.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Wait, he's dead?

[Amy]

Yeah, the son is dead. That's why. That was the YouTube video I was referring to where the daughter was saying that he's a monster. She was sort of blaming the dad for the death of the.

[Mike D]

Is he still in the air?

[Amy]

I think it's X. I think it's a former. Former news anchor.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Anyway, I don't know how to hire a hitman. I'd be scared. Even try to hire a hitman. And if you have to, if you ask your hitman, are you a cop, do they have to say yes?

[Morgan]

Don't think so.

[Eddie]

That's a great question.

[Morgan]

You don't have to do anything.

[Mike D]

Why not you? If. I mean, there are laws against that. Entrapment.

[Morgan]

That's true.

[Mike D]

But also, you did try to hire the. I don't know. Maybe I'll just try to hire one and just see what happens.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you do that.

[Mike D]

Yes.

[Eddie]

All right. There you go.

[Mike D]

That's the new. Those were Bobby's bees stories. Bobby Bone show Bonehead story of the day.

[Eddie]

This story comes us from St. Petersburg, Florida. A 17 year old girl was at McDonald's and wanted some more dipping sauce. She goes up to the counter, says, I need dipping sauce, but no one's helping me. So finally she goes around the counter to help herself and that's when one of the employees grabs her by the arm and puts her in a chokehold.

[Mike D]

Nice. I mean, did the employee think she was robbing the store?

[Amy]

Yeah, could be a threat.

[Eddie]

Ah, she got mad and grabbed her by the neck and took her to the ground.

[Mike D]

Oh, it was a she. I figured it was a dude.

[Eddie]

But I agree with you. I don't know who the bonehead is.

[Mike D]

So the bonehead is her. The first person first reaching over. You can't go behind the counter because they could see that as a threat.

[Amy]

Yeah, I agree.

[Mike D]

So for me, it's hard to go that second person's a bonehead. I don't know if they felt threatened. There's somebody that is in plain clothes behind the counter.

[Amy]

But like, when you worked at Hobby Lobby, aren't you. If someone's trying to rob, aren't you supposed to, like, just do nothing?

[Mike D]

But I don't think it was enough. Like, they were coming up behind them almost. I don't know. Yes, yes, yes.

[Morgan]

Nothing. Unless you can do a chokehold.

[Mike D]

Yeah, yeah. It was gonna be nothing for me. It wasn't. I didn't own anything in that store. They could have whatever they wanted. Yeah. I'm gonna say that Bonehead's the first person. Is that who you think it is?

[Eddie]

I thought it was the first person. But the woman that did the chokehold, she got arrested for child abuse. Oh, because she's underage.

[Amy]

Well, that's.

[Mike D]

She didn't. You can't card somebody. Are you robbing me? Yeah. Let me see your id. Do you have your new real id? Yeah, I, I, the first person didn't get in trouble?

[Eddie]

No. Like, you can't go behind the counter. Like, if I walk behind the bank to get a pin.

[Mike D]

Well, the bank's different than getting sauce. But I hear you. I hear you. Yeah, a double bonehead. But I think the first girl made the second girl do that, so hopefully she didn't get in real trouble.

[Eddie]

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

[Mike D]

I'd watch those shows like Locked up, so I watch a marathon of those shows, and there'd be someone who would build, like, a radio out of baloney and a toothpick. And you think to yourself, wow, if you were smart enough to do this, I wonder what you could have done outside and in the real world. Right, had you committed to it. Now, she's not in jail, but I kind of think this about this woman. She has claimed to be mute for 16 years, and she isn't. And she just collected disability. She's so, so committed to this bit to make the money. Imagine if she had committed to many other things, because it's got to be really hard to keep your mouth shut all the time.

[Amy]

She didn't talk to anybody.

[Mike D]

She had been receiving disability benefits for 16 years due to an alleged speech impairment linked to PTSD. However, a private detective hired by the insurance company caught her speaking normally in public, including giving other people directions.

[Morgan]

She slipped.

[Mike D]

What's happened? How are you gonna do that out of the house?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mike D]

Medical reviews had raised suspicions. No doctors noted the condition, but they also couldn't prove it wasn't a thing, so they kept paying her. A new case is now underway to determine the fine she must pay. And the insurance companies expect it to SUE to recover 16 years worth of disability payments. They'll never get that money back because she won't have it. Yeah, it's not like she kept it and then put in an account for later. She's just using it to live her life, expenses. But she couldn't talk, quote, for 16 years.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Mike D]

And then you're gonna give directions to somebody that's like. Like. Like Simon says. You know, you play Simon? You ever play what Simon says game? Simon says, yeah. And then you wait the whole time, and then someone's like, jump. And you jump. You're like, oh, God, why'd I do that? Like, she had to feel that way whenever someone's like, hey, can you give me the 7? 11, actually. Gotcha.

[Amy]

Let me tell you, that can't be the first time.

[Morgan]

I probably felt good to talk, too.

[Mike D]

Like, so stupid.

[Amy]

Guys, she was talking all.

[Mike D]

I'm sure in the house. She's probably having a conversation or two. Yeah, that's from Oddity Central. That's. Hey, thank you guys for hanging out with us.
