[D]

Here we go.

[A]

Come on, Bobby Bones transmitting across America.

[E]

Turn it up.

[B]

This is the Bobby Bones Show.

[E]

Let's go.

[B]

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday's show, Morning Studio. Morning, Bones. All right, let's start with the good news. The mortgage rate just dropped below 6%, matching the lowest level since 2022. So we'd like to see that applications to refinance a home loan are about 130% higher than they were a year ago. CNBC, you're starting to see a little bit too of it being slightly more of a buyer's market. I'm not Mr. Market Guy. This is not a commercial because I have nothing to promote.

[C]

That means houses are cheaper.

[B]

Yes. It means houses are cheaper. Yes. And negotiations are a little easier because the buyer has more power. It was very much a seller's market for a long time and still is, depending on where you are. But mortgage rates have dropped below 6%. Theaters attendance have dropped. AMC Theaters attendance drops 10%. Movie Mike, why aren't people going to the movies anymore? It's expensive, man. Like, I have a subscription, but if you didn't have that, it would be really expensive to go even just once a month. Anybody go to the movies once a month?

[C]

Yeah, my family does. I don't always go with them, but they do.

[B]

What does that run you? All of us.

[C]

If all of us were go to the movie theater, it'd probably be a hundred. About eighty bucks with tickets and popcorn and everything.

[B]

Do you have rules on what the kids can get?

[C]

So what we do is we kind of hack the system a little bit. We get the. The bottomless popcorn, the largest one, and it's got free refills all. All day.

[B]

And all of you can eat it. Yeah.

[C]

So I asked for, like, six trays. So then I get the big bucket, pour all the popcorn, all the trays, and I said, can I refill this, please? Every single time. They're like, here we go.

[B]

Do they care?

[C]

I mean, they kind of give me a look like, whatever, but they do it.

[B]

You can't be the only one abusing that system, though.

[C]

And we're not abusing it. It's just. It's. It's within the rules.

[B]

We're big. Take food in, sneak it in. You have to really sneak anymore? Yeah.

[C]

I mean, they're not policing, I guess. Like, they're all kids working there.

[B]

There is a cop that's always outside. I don't go to theater a lot, but my wife and I had a. When she was first pregnant, we were going a lot, and so there was a cop out there. And we always felt like they were there to catch people sneaking in food. They weren't. They were just there to make sure there was no trouble. We almost got busted the other day, but Will they actually kick you out? No, they were just looking for alcohol. Like, they. They made my wife open her bag. She was like, I got tampons in here.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

But they, like, they looked at it. They saw all their snacks, but they were like, we're just checking for alcohol. Wow. They let her go through. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, you could be like, I always have snacks.

[B]

I would say. You got a warrant? You got a warrant. A parent's gut feeling about a sick child is surprisingly accurate. Researchers found that when parents reported moderate to high worry rates at a pediatric er, they were correctly able to identify severe illnesses in about 91% of the cases, outperforming clinical checklists where they just asked questions. What do you think about that?

[A]

I mean, yeah, intuition, parent gut. I think that's real.

[B]

And probably seeing your kid all the time and knowing what their baseline is and they're acting a little different.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Parental worry casts a wild wide net, the study says. But detailed symptom checklists did not outperform gut feelings whenever they took them into the doctor. You know what's great is CHAT gbt. You just type in your symptoms. It tell you it's not as. It's not like when you go to WebMD. WebMD would tell you're dying every time. It didn't matter what was wrong with hang now, ah, you got finger cancer. Like, it would always go to the worst. ChatGPT really talks to you in a way where, hey, here's a few things that could be. We'll start at lightest. It's probably not the worst, but when you go to your doctor. Doctors have to be so annoyed when people bring in Internet though.

[A]

Why I'm taking a checklist to my appointment.

[B]

No, just when you go into the doctor and you think you know more than them because you just brought in some Internet like, hey, doctor, I got this pain. And I use Lunchbox for example, my side. And he's like, well, it's not. He goes, but I googled it and it said this.

[E]

I say it over and over. I keep telling the doctors I think it's a hernia. Everything I find online is hernia.

[B]

And they say, well, we've done scans

[E]

and it's not a hernia. I'm like, ah, man. But if you look at Google, it says this kind of hernia, they don't like it.

[B]

More than 200,000 items of a children's sleepwear has been recalled for potential burn risk. Meijer M E I J E R a Midwestern superstore chain has issued a recall on selected MCS and Lullaby Lane branded one piece footage sleepwear for babies. The products violate the mandatory flammability standard for children's sleepwear. So I don't think they're gonna just combust into fire, but I guess they're a little too flammable in case there is heat or fire near.

[C]

Crawl next To a candle, which we definitely don't want.

[B]

The specific MCS and Lullaby Lane onesies are sized for children age 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months. The baby clothes, it's a racket. It's such a racket because we have bought newborn up to three months or something to six months. And sometimes the baby can be born. It's even bigger than newborn. Very. Yes.

[A]

You have to buy.

[B]

I have a friend who had a baby recently, 11 pounds.

[E]

Wow.

[A]

That is a big baby.

[E]

Are they.

[C]

Are they big people? Like, is he tall? Like, is he a big dude?

[B]

Nope. Huh. Wow.

[C]

That's crazy.

[B]

Is that, like, world record type stuff?

[C]

My. My son was 10. Around 10.

[B]

Oh, really? Yeah. So 11 is big.

[A]

I think 13, 14 is when you're getting into the records.

[B]

But.

[A]

But yeah, because, I mean, at that. At that size, a pound is a lot.

[B]

The heaviest ever recorded baby. 22 pounds.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Born in Ohio, too. This wasn't like one of those. In a country we never heard of. We can't prove it. Yeah. Was born in Ohio. That is 22 pounds.

[A]

Crazy.

[C]

Imagine.

[B]

Did you let him out after 13 months? Like, did you keep him in?

[C]

That's got to be a C section, right?

[B]

That has to be crazy. There's also a baby that was weighing 14 pounds, 8 ounces, born in Canada in 2023. So as far as recent ones, a 14 pounds, 8 ounces baby in Canada. The natural birth record in 2013. So that would mean. That would be no. No C section and natural meaning no drugs. Yeah. Right. Almost £14.

[A]

Whoa.

[C]

That would hurt.

[B]

Oh, that's. That's wild. There's no newborn clothes. Super baby clothes do not exist for that kind of baby. But that's what they're. That. The baby clothing is so stupid. We can invent rockets that shed. We can't invent clothes that do the same. We need to invent stretchy baby clothes to grow with the baby. Anyway, if you're having trouble sleeping instead of counting sheep or making lists, which is what I do a lot of times, this is good. I like this. They say count your blessings because you're still counting something. And it's also a positive reminder of what's actually going right in your life.

[C]

Like that.

[B]

I like that too. And I'm not that guy.

[A]

Gratitude guy.

[B]

I'm not gratitude guy. I try to find a place to remember what. What's all going good because we at times can be overwhelmed with what's not going good, and we don't really appreciate what's going good because it's only our focus of what's going bad.

[A]

Kind of sounds like you're gratitude.

[B]

I know, but I'm not gratitude guy.

[A]

You just don't want to say that.

[D]

You.

[B]

Not gratitude guy.

[A]

You like to call it.

[B]

You don't want to admit. No, it's not.

[A]

What about if you count your blessings Guy?

[B]

No, I like this.

[A]

Or give thanks Guy.

[B]

I like this. I think it's great because I'm gonna be counting something anyway. So I'm. It's very efficient. I'm doing two things at once. I'm efficiency guy. So people who wrote up a list of things that were grateful for each day were happier. But also going to sleep, as they say. If you can list things because it takes your mind off what it's spinning. Roundabout. It's a positive reinforcement before you go to sleep.

[A]

Yeah. And reduces anxiety before sleep.

[B]

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, which I'll read nightly. And I was glad they posted that story. Let's do some quick updates. Lunchbox. Jury duty.

[E]

Jury duty. We got a problem. I am not gonna be able to attend jury duty.

[B]

But you telling us does nothing.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Have you told them?

[E]

No, I. I just. I. We're gonna be on the cruise, and so I can't go to jury duty.

[B]

Okay. Is that.

[C]

Is that a good excuse?

[B]

You have to let them know if you're out of town for work, there are things that'll let you out, but you got to let them know you just can't not show up.

[E]

I did find out, like, I know. You cannot not show up. I. I did research, and there was a sheriff, and he talked about how they're not going to arrest you or anything if you don't show up for charging.

[C]

Hold on. What kind of research?

[E]

Tick tock.

[B]

I need everybody to stop falling for the jury duty scam. If you miss jury duty, the most you're going to get is a letter saying you miss jury duty. We're never going to call you saying you have a warrant for your arrest. Stop falling for scams. Oh, boom.

[C]

I don't think that's a.

[E]

All you're gonna do is gonna get a letter. That's it. No, no. No penalty. That was a sheriff.

[B]

Okay. I don't know why you say it like that, Sheriff. Yes. And also, it's on Tick Tock, right?

[E]

Yeah. He was on Tick Tock talking about it, and he said, listen, if everybody you work worried about missing jury duty, if you miss it, nothing's gonna happen. I'm just gonna get a letter here.

[B]

All Right.

[E]

So I will not be there.

[B]

Hello. Can you tell me what happens if you ignore the jury duty letter that comes? Do you get in trouble if you don't go? Ignoring a jury duty summons is generally a bad idea in most places. It's a legal obligation, not a suggestion. If you ignore it, you could face consequences. Initially, you might just get a reminder or a second notice. But if you keep ignoring it, you could be held in contempt of court. That might mean fines or in some cases, even more serious penalties, depending on the jurisdiction. It's always better to contact the court if you have a conflict. What about my guy here, Lunchbox, who is ignoring his jury duty in Nashville? He said he's not going to worry about it, but nothing will happen to him. I tell Lunchbox he shouldn't brush that off. I. In Nashville, just like most places, ignoring jury duty can eventually lead to trouble. Sure, he might not get chased down immediately, but if he keeps ignoring it, he could face fines or even a court order to explain himself. It's way easier to just call and reschedule or ask for a deferral than to gamble on nothing happening. Why don't you just call?

[E]

I guess I will call. I just. I saw the sheriff online. I was like, I'm in the clear. Just get a letter in the mail, says, hey, sorry, couldn't make it.

[C]

I hear the tone of your AI.

[B]

She's sleepy.

[C]

She's, like, serious. I thought now.

[B]

Yeah, it's early in the morning. Okay. Yeah. Eddie, update on your voice acting gig.

[C]

Oh, boys, I got a meeting. I had a meeting with the director of this. Remember the guy that called in, Andrew?

[B]

Oh, no, no, that's not the podcast.

[C]

Oh, that's the drama podcast. Yeah, the other one, man, you sent off the pony. My Little pony one. I haven't heard anything back.

[B]

Okay, that's normal. Okay, so no update there.

[C]

I'm assuming that was kind of a nationwide search. I may not get that job.

[B]

The second one, a listener called and said he had a podcast he was doing he could use in voice acting

[C]

as a podcast drama. And so he. We had a meeting. We talked about the character. I'm Dan. Dan the weatherman. Apparently I'm going to open up season two. Like, it starts with me.

[B]

Are you getting paid?

[C]

We didn't discuss that. I mean, he kind of talked about how it all goes through a network.

[A]

Yeah, he said on the phone, the call, that he will do a share. Like a percentage profit share?

[C]

Yeah, like a profit share. But I said, dude, whatever you need. Let's get to this first season first. And so next week, after we get back from the cruise, that's when we start production, baby.

[B]

You're gonna voice Dan. Dan the weatherman.

[C]

Yes. And he already sent me my line, so I've been running through with my son. It's been awesome.

[B]

My update is gonna be. So, as I talked about on the show yesterday, I got invited to be on celebrity wheel of fortune. I really suck at wheel of fortune. I got home yesterday and I was just doing practice rounds. I'm the worst. I think I'm the worst wheel of fortune player ever. I'm good at a lot of games. Really bad at wheel of fortune. I. I'm going to spend a few days training, and if I just can't get better, I don't want to take somebody else's spot.

[C]

I'm telling you, I've seen it before, man. No one is good on there. Yeah, you all those celebrities, they're not good.

[A]

It be so fun.

[B]

I'm going to train.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

If I feel good.

[C]

How are you training? You got.

[B]

I'm practicing just at home. Okay. I just get on and do do them. You can just do puzzle solves on YouTube. I. I don't think I got like one out of 60. Yikes. Yeah, it was terrible. Am you have anything Doug us on?

[A]

Not right now.

[B]

All right, There you go. All right. Updates all around. I feel like the Savannah Guthrie Nancy Guthrie story is taking a change in tone because I'm going to play the clip of Savannah. She's like, million bucks. But now it's like the recovery. So they're using different words.

[A]

Coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed. And every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then. We are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery.

[B]

That word there makes me and probably everybody else feel like they probably have an understanding that she's not alive anymore. More.

[A]

Yeah, I read. I. I read she said things like, I don't know if it was in that video or somewhere else, but that they know she may already be gone and she may be lost, but they just want her. And after they put the reward to a million dollars, FBI got 750 phone calls.

[B]

There's somebody to their tip that knows. And they're like, if it's not over 800,000, I'm like, down to bed.

[E]

Right, Right.

[A]

It's like, well, now that it said a Million.

[B]

I told my wife if it got over eight, I'd call it. Yeah. It feels to me someone who has no knowledge other than what I've been reading, that it was probably a burglary gone wrong.

[A]

I still don't know.

[B]

I don't know either. I want to say that I don't know.

[A]

Well, I know, but I just feel like more would be missing.

[B]

You know, maybe you get in and you get discovered right away. I know, but you don't really keep stealing.

[A]

Why do you go through the hassle of taking her? Just.

[B]

You might have accidentally.

[C]

And Savannah said from her bed, though. Yeah, she said, like she was taken from her. From her bed in the middle of the night.

[B]

I know nothing. You guys are saying things make me go. Well, I know less than I thought. I knew before I even started talking to begin with. It just feels like because there was no. Oh, you're offering us money? We will give you this. They. They got nothing. Usually that doesn't happen in the kidnapping. I know. Unless they're trying to prove a point. But what's the point? There's nobody else to kidnap.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

It's not like the cartel. Do you see the cartel video? The guy talking to the cop?

[E]

No.

[C]

Who? Yeah, El Mencho. Yeah, the audio.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's crazy, the way he talks to the cop.

[B]

He was the police chief's boss. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep up. Keep playing, I'll kill you.

[A]

Oh, yeah. The Lord of the Roosters.

[C]

Oh, that's him.

[B]

You want to talk more legal?

[A]

What do you mean?

[B]

Well, I got Chief Wes on the phone. Let's talk about Jerry duty with Lunchbox.

[C]

Okay, now we're talking.

[B]

Okay. Chief Wes is in Michigan. He's a chief of police. Chief West. Thank you for calling. How's it going?

[D]

Absolutely great. Hey, listen to you guys all the time. Hey, I can't wait to get that bench warrant for. For Lunchbox there.

[B]

For not going to jury duty.

[D]

Yeah. So in Michigan, if you don't go to jury duty, you can do up to three days, $1,000 fine. And it's a. And it's a bench warrant. It's not as simple as. I'm not going to go. You have to. You have to explain why you're not there. And if judge doesn't like that, she can throw you. Or he can throw you in jail for three days or fine you up to $1,000.

[B]

I'll say this. I know there's always, like, a competition to be employee of the month or employee of the Quarter. If you spend three days in jail. Employee of the year. I'm gonna say it right now. You are automatically employee of the year. Do it. Yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

You know what? Hall of fame. You're a hall of fame employee. Three days in jail. So obviously, states are different, but. Hey, Chief west, so what happens if someone doesn't go? Do they remind him a second time? When does that go into process?

[D]

Usually. So I. Actually, it's funny you say that, because I just had a case where somebody did not show up. The jury trials, a friend of mine, and they had to go to court and explain why they weren't there. And it was a good, valid reason. It was a. It was a family illness that she couldn't be there, so the judge let her go. But I don't think going on a cruise is going to let a judge say, hey, that's. That's a good reason. What he can do is call and say, hey, I'm going to be gone. And they'll reschedule him, which would be the easiest thing, but it sounds like he's too lazy to do that.

[B]

Yeah, he's chosen not to even call.

[D]

Well, that's not a good idea.

[E]

But what about the sheriff that said that nothing happens?

[B]

You didn't know that guy. That was a person on TikTok. They could have been wearing an outfit from Lucy in disguise.

[A]

Exactly where you live.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Also, it all depends on where you live.

[E]

Oh, man.

[B]

Chief West, I appreciate you calling. I appreciate what you do as well. So thank you very much for being a part of the show.

[D]

Thank you, guys.

[B]

Yes, sir. Thank you.

[D]

Absolutely.

[B]

Lunchbox your thoughts after that call.

[E]

Oh, I'm gonna have to look up the number and maybe give the old judge a call and say, hey, judge,

[B]

I don't think you call the judge at home. I think you probably call the office.

[E]

Okay, well, I'll call. I'll have to look up the number of the office, but which. The only problem is I don't know which jury I'm going to like. Is it.

[B]

No, no, you're not on a jury yet.

[A]

But there has to be information on the paperwork you receive.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

The mail there's got just. All we need is. Read that.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, boy.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Call 911. Now we're just like, call 911 and say, I'm in a pickle. What do I do?

[C]

And keep saying, I don't want to go to jail.

[B]

Okay, just lead with that.

[E]

Actually, I don't want to go to jail.

[A]

No, y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

He's Gonna now he's gonna get fined for misuse of 91 1.

[B]

But there's an opportunity here for employee

[C]

of the Year hall of Fame.

[B]

Yes. Three days in jail. Hall of Fame Bones.

Hi, this is Jo Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter Podcast where we talk about astrology, natal charts and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver.

[E]

The Irish traveler was 16.

[A]

You're going to have a terrible time with men. Actor, storyteller and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom loving and different perspectives. And I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius like are Misunderstood A Sun and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house Spark her unconventional approach to partnership. He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses, in different places, but just in emotional embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chart side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity and real life, this episode is a must. Listen. Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcast. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt season two podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumprite became the victim of a random crime.

[E]

He pulls the gun, tells me to

[B]

lie down on the ground.

[A]

He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years.

[C]

I'm like, lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity.

[E]

The best lie is partial truth.

[A]

For 22 years, only two people knew the truth until a confession changed everything.

[B]

I was a monster.

[A]

Listen to Burden of guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What if mind control is real?

[B]

If you could control the behavior of

[D]

anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[A]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[B]

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[A]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[B]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[A]

Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[C]

It's about engineering consciousness Mind Games is

[A]

the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[B]

What do you do when the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins, and if you can hear me is where culture meets the

[E]

soul, a place for real conversation.

[B]

Each episode I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers, and everyday folks. And we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff.

[E]

Identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore.

[B]

Loss that changes you Purpose when success isn't enough. Peace when your mind won't slow down. Faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you.

[E]

Listen to if you can hear me

[B]

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's the anonymous inbox. Anonymous symbol. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My partner and I have been together almost six. We have a kid, another on the way. We bought a house earlier this year. Our relationship feels stable and loving, but since we aren't married yet, that confuses a lot of people. The reason we're waiting is because we both have a clear vision for our wedding and we don't want to elope just to check the box. Still, we hear, why not just do it already? What's the difference? At what point do you stop explaining your choices to family and friends? Signed, not ready quite yet to tie the knot. That point is whenever you decide, it's that point. So you don't want to get married? Good for you. People are going to ask. First of all, I would say stop taking offense to it, because they're going to ask and they're going to assume if you have kids and you're together that you're married. I think that's a fair assumption based on where we are culturally and are you guys married? No. Don't be offended when they react like, oh, I thought you were, or are you going to get married? All that's fine. Especially your family. They're going to be all up in your business anyway. And then also don't feel pressured to do it. So my only advice is that you stop being offended by it. You get to choose in life, if you get offended by things like if somebody's not physically hurting you or physically hurting somebody else, you get to choose the rest. Anything on television, anything somebody says to you, you get to choose to be offended or not. People can say the exact same things, and you could choose to not be offended. So you choose not to be offended, and then you choose when you want to get married, and then everything's good. That's what I would say. Anything you want to say?

[A]

Yeah. No, I would just say if you've explained it to them, you shouldn't have to explain it again. And if they keep asking, be like, oh, yeah, remember I. I shared this with you. We're not ready yet. Or we have a plan for our wedding, and this is what it's gonna look like. It's just not happening yet. And then can we. Yeah, we're good. We don't need to bring it up again. And then hopefully they'll respect that.

[B]

Or keep some cards in your pocket. And when they do it, pull it out, and on that card says stfu. You hand it to them. Oh, it's a little card.

[A]

Oh, there's that.

[B]

Yeah, there's that. Yeah. Don't let it offend you anymore, and this problem goes away. All right, There you go. There's a guy who has an emotional support chicken. If you were to see this, don't you think this guy's just doing a bit?

[A]

I mean, our chickens can be so cute.

[C]

Yeah. What's the difference between a dog and a chicken?

[B]

Oh, my God.

[E]

Don't be stupid.

[B]

Or like, domesticating them.

[A]

Oh, chickens can be domesticated.

[E]

Ish.

[B]

Ish.

[A]

Ish. Yeah.

[B]

Okay. There is a Canadian psychology professor who studies how relationships with pets support healthy development. And she has an emotional support chicken. Come on this a bit. No, a chicken can't listen. A chicken can't sit.

[C]

Oh, that's it. Do the union to listen and sit.

[B]

If it's going to be an emotional support, I need them to be able to mind a few things.

[A]

Hold it.

[C]

They have to just make you happy. Right. Like a chicken can make you happy.

[A]

You can hold it and it's all it's gonna.

[B]

Eating chickens can make you happy.

[C]

Now that makes.

[B]

That makes you happy. Okay, so you guys are open to the emotional support chicken?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

If you see someone in an airport with an emotional support chicken, are you like, that's stupid. They're Lying. No way. That's real.

[A]

No, really? I'm like, no, that's awesome.

[B]

Good for you.

[C]

Same with a pig. Like if it was a pig.

[A]

People have emotional support pigs.

[B]

Pigs are smarter than dogs.

[C]

That's what I hear.

[A]

Yeah, but chickens, not so much.

[C]

Chickens are not.

[E]

So what if he brings a dog?

[B]

Chickens are impulse animals.

[E]

Come on.

[C]

What does that mean?

[B]

A dog you can't fit on an airplane?

[E]

Why not a small donkey?

[A]

Oh, like a tiny.

[B]

You didn't define the or a.

[E]

Okay, a goat did. A goat would fit on an airplane. It's same size as a dog. If we're gonna let chickens, you guys,

[A]

I mean, I think you can have an emotional support goat.

[B]

I'm anti the support chicken, by the way. I think there's a level of intelligence with the animal that needs to be the classified emotional support. Otherwise, want to have an emotional support reptile.

[C]

Oh, a snake.

[B]

Emotional support fish. You walk in the bowl going, I just need this for my emotional support.

[A]

I mean, maybe you do.

[C]

That wouldn't hurt anyone.

[A]

But a chicken you can hold. I think anything you can hold with

[B]

the most poor chicken. I'm like, it's a loser. And I'm not somebody that's judging like that, but I'm like, that's a loser.

[A]

Sounds like you are.

[B]

They're just doing it as a bit. That's not supporting their emotions. Okay. Unless they're taking it somewhere to cook.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

No talking. I got bought a lottery ticket and he bought the wrong lottery and then won $50,000.

[C]

Wow.

[E]

Of course.

[B]

Guy in Ohio bought a ticket for the wrong lottery drawing. He openly admits it won a $50,000 prize. His name's Ron. He said his brother in law told him to go buy a mega millions ticket and so he went and accidentally bought a pick five ticket and hit the pick five numbers and hit a $50,000 winner. UPI. How's it make you feel, lottery boy?

[E]

It just makes me feel like it is a thing of destiny. Like if it's gonna happen, it's gonn everything, right? It's like you don't know how to play. I think you need to know how to play. You have to go to certain gas stations. This just shows you that, man, the lottery gods like certain people.

[B]

You think the lottery is a destiny?

[E]

Yes.

[B]

Then why play?

[E]

Because if you don't play, it can't be part of your destiny.

[B]

Like, why buy so many tickets then? Just buy one and if it's your destiny, then you'll hit on that one.

[E]

Oh, I never thought about that. I thought more like the lottery gods may see my effort and my dedication,

[B]

but you're destined to win, so it doesn't matter. Effort or dedication. Effort and dedication do not factor into things that are of destiny.

[C]

Do you ever pray to the lottery gods?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Is that a different prayer?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Or is it. It's a different God.

[E]

Well, it's the same as the lottery God. All lottery gods are the same. It's not the regular God.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

But it's like a subset I'm interested in.

[C]

Like, so does pick five have a different lottery God?

[B]

Oh, great. Questions?

[E]

Oh, I don't know. I've never played pick five. That's maybe my mistake. Maybe I'm going for the.

[B]

Is it like governors and states?

[E]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Like the governor of Iowa. You know, it's like mega millions. Governor of Arkansas.

[E]

And maybe like, the pick three is a mayor.

[B]

This is the dumbest thing I ever heard.

[E]

Like, don't you. For like. Anyway, when you're watching sports, do you not pray to a different God or you play?

[C]

No, no, man, I pray to one God. Oh, yeah. There's no football God to me now. Interesting Dallas Cowboys guy.

[B]

Do the lottery gods work for the main God? Yeah, got it.

[E]

Yeah, it's like a separate branch.

[B]

Oh. But works under him.

[E]

Under. Not as they're not as high up. But they are.

[A]

It's like a priest.

[E]

You could look at it that way.

[B]

Priest, cardinal, lottery guy. Well, no, the Pope would. The Pope would be regular guide.

[E]

Right.

[B]

Oh, okay. The cardinal might be a lottery God.

[E]

Yeah. Because it's like one of his underneath understudies.

[B]

And the priest is probably like traffic God.

[C]

Oh, boy.

[B]

When he's in traffic. Yeah.

[E]

Like, if you want to get out of traffic and you're running late. Oh, please, God, please, traffic God. Like, let this clear up.

[B]

I don't like how I feel here. Things you'll eventually regret buying what comes to your mind. I can go first. A pool table. Never buy a pool table. Try to play pool. Because then it ends up just being where you hang your clothes.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, I guess in a similar vein, ping pong table. Because we were so excited to get one of those. And then I recently sold it.

[B]

Guys, I will say that in the same vein.

[C]

Treadmill.

[A]

Oh, no, I love my treadmill.

[B]

Yeah. But for the most part, unless you're dedicated. Dedicated, it's just going to end up

[A]

being something you should feel great knowing because you gifted it to me and we use it all the time. Still, years later, it's a great One. I use my rowing machine and my treadmill. Oh, I love those.

[B]

What are you gonna say?

[E]

A Jagermeister machine?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

You bought one of those?

[E]

Yeah. Mark and I, we're roommates. We split it.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

And it was like. It was chilled Jagermeister. Dude, let me tell you, they gave this advertisement. It was, like, 250 bucks. And, I mean, you want to talk about the coolest thing you ever had? Really dumb.

[C]

That sounds awesome.

[E]

It really is.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

And then it's like a year later, you're like, the heck are we gonna do with that? It just sat on the counter.

[B]

You got anything?

[C]

Oh, yeah, I got one. A waffle maker.

[B]

Yeah. Use it.

[C]

I've got. I've got two. I don't think I've ever used them before.

[A]

I was very excited when I got my waffle maker. And it's like, you use it for a little bit, and then you're like,

[B]

okay, top five things you should never buy because you'll regret it. Number five, cheap mattresses. Amen. Yes. That's one of those. You get your money's worth.

[A]

That's like. You have to just be an adult.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And make the purchase that.

[B]

Tires and refrigerators. You need good ones. Toilet paper and it. Yeah, you have to. Cheap mattress. Number five, overly trendy sunglasses. At number four, home fitness equipment. At number three, which we're talking about. At number two, a cheap office chair. Oh.

[A]

Because you need that lumbar support.

[E]

Yep.

[B]

And then a number one, uncomfortable shoes. Maybe they're not. Maybe they're, you know, not super comfortable. When you try them on, you'll think you'll break them in, but they rarely are broken in because it takes a lot of wearing uncomfortably to break them in, and you end up not doing that. So there you go. Let's play a game. What do we got? So I'm gonna play you a quote from a famous 90s movie. You're just gonna name the movie. All right, I'm in. Me, Amy, Lunchbox Eddie. Okay, play.

You have my pity. That sounds like the Home Alone scene on the black and white tv. It's not. Oh, I don't think it. Oh, they might double us up here.

[C]

It does.

It does. As Batman. You're right.

Lunchbox.

[E]

Ace Ventura. Pet Detective.

[B]

Oh, shoot.

[C]

Thanks for being honest.

[A]

Which one is it?

[E]

Well, why would I. Dumb and Dumber. Dumb and Dumber got cocky.

[C]

Oh, you thought you were going to get that, right?

[B]

I think we all did.

[C]

Yeah, but we were right. I. I figured we were right.

[E]

No, I literally wrote it down. I heard him talking. I didn't even think. I was just like, oh, that's as.

[B]

Another one. Last one. Excuse me. I believe you have my staple. Amen.

[C]

Amen.

[A]

Amen.

[B]

Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler.

[A]

Amy, the man on the moon.

[E]

You out.

[B]

You are out.

[A]

It's the same guy.

[B]

No, you're out. Latker. Like, thank you very much, Eddie.

[C]

I have office space.

[B]

I have office space. Lunchbox.

[E]

I have office space.

[A]

Oh, dang.

[C]

Good job, Lunchbox.

[B]

So score.

[E]

I'm out.

[B]

Bobby and Eddie have five. Amy and Lunchbox have four. All right, you want to do it? Let's do a three. Buzz round. Buzzing with your name.

[C]

Okay.

[C]

Good job.

[B]

Jeff Daniels.

[C]

Good job.

[B]

Is that Jeff Daniels?

[C]

No, that's Jeff Bridges.

[B]

That's what I meant. That's what I meant. I knew it was a Jeff. Okay, next one. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, he's gone.

[C]

What on earth?

[B]

I don't know the name of the movie. It's one of Scuba Steve's favorite movies.

[C]

Okay, I'm in.

[B]

Go.

[C]

Usual Suspects. That's what it is.

[B]

Dang it. I shouldn't have said it. Is it.

[E]

Is it because they try to figure

[B]

out that person's alive?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Kevin Spacey Kaiser. So sick.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

What? You've got no.

[C]

No chance. No chance.

[B]

I thought it was over. All right, go ahead.

[D]

As far back as I can remember,

[B]

I always wanted to be a gangster. Bobby. Good, fellas.

[C]

Oh, my goodness. I thought it was Untouchables.

[B]

I went just for a gangster pool. Good job. I've never seen that. All right, Amy has a question for us.

[C]

Go ahead.

[A]

What do you think the only household task is that men fully own both the planning and the doing.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Full responsibility.

[B]

So.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Can I ask a question? Sure. Because I initially go to something in the yard, but that's not housework, is it?

[A]

I mean, I consider that that's what

[B]

I was going towards, like mowing the yard work.

[A]

I mean, it specifically says household tasks, so however you want to define that.

[B]

Well, but. But yard work will be out of the house.

[A]

Okay, then let's take it out.

[B]

Okay, so it's not yard work.

[C]

All right.

[B]

Okay, good.

[E]

Thank you.

[C]

All right, settled.

[B]

That's where I would have gone. Where do you get this from?

[A]

The Journal of Family Psychology.

[B]

Love reading that they.

[A]

They took 30 household tasks and they found that there was only one of the 30 where men fully owned both the planning and the doing. So any guesses as to what this task is?

[B]

At my house, it is taking out the trash. It is. I see it. I ignore it. I get told by my wife, why are you ignoring it? I forget about it again. I'm double reminded. Then I take it out and replace it.

[A]

Well, that's weird. Doesn't sound like you're taking full ownership if she's having to remind you. But that's the only task you do, and you still have to be reminded.

[B]

Sometimes I forget to put the liner back in. And she's like, why'd you forget to put the liner back in? Okay. Sometimes there are two that. We could have two trash cans beside each other and only do it in one.

[A]

Can I say something?

[B]

Yeah. All right, guys, wait. Moving on.

[A]

I don't think you can take ownership of that being your task if you have to be reminded and you don't fully do it?

[B]

If I don't fully do it, I'm reminded. But most of the time, I do. Okay, that's my job. Taking the trash out.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

And the dogs. But I'm gonna go with taking the trash out.

[C]

Eddie. I'm gonna go a little outside the box here. I'm gonna go with securing the house at night, locking all the doors, making sure all the lights are out. That's what I do.

[B]

I do that too.

[A]

Oh, you do?

[B]

I do. But mine's not so much out of a chore. Mine's because I have real anxiety about getting my house broken into again or being murdered, but I do that completely. And when I'm gone, if I'm gone and my wife's there, she's like, I'm not used to having to run through the checklist because I've checked all the email lunchbox.

[E]

Keeping track of the channel changer.

[C]

That is the remote.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

That's a household task.

[E]

Absolutely.

[B]

Keeping track of it. You mean using it? If you're together, like, do you have control of it?

[E]

I have control of it all the time. If we're watching TV together, it's in my hand.

[B]

Do you always pick the shows?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Do you always pick the shows?

[C]

Me?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

No. Zero. My kid. I'd have four kids. Like, everyone dominates the channel changes.

[E]

Like, I'll throw her a bone, like, every once in a while if there's, like, I watch games or whatever, and then I'll be like, hey, you know what? We're not gonna watch a game tonight. Watch and I'll suggest a show we like together, and she'll agree or. And. Okay, well, yeah, we can watch that. So, boom, I saw the bone. So I. It's the channel changer for me.

[B]

Anybody?

[E]

Right.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Oh, it's got to be. It's got to be Eddie's.

[E]

Is it me?

[A]

Secure the house really good. Yeah.

[B]

Is it that one?

[A]

No, it's taking out the trash.

[C]

Oh, it's you.

[B]

We just answered who's the manliest on the show.

[C]

There we go.

[A]

And to clarify, they said that this doesn't mean partners don't care about the other tasks. Rather just an indication of, like, how the mental load. Like, the mental load and how it impacts each person. And men just tend to handle the

[B]

trash around the room. Worst chore in the house. What is it?

[C]

Easy. Go Folding clothes.

[B]

What's the worst?

[A]

You have never cleaned a toilet Then

[B]

I would rather clean a toilet. The full clothes.

[A]

Are you kidding?

[B]

I hate folding clothes because there's always socks that I'm with an extra sock.

[C]

You can't find the other one.

[B]

That's the worst. Yeah. Lawn. I would just put laundry in there. But folding clothes is the worst part of laundry.

[C]

I don't mind the washing machine and then transferring it over. That's easy stuff.

[B]

Like the transfer. You don't like that. That's gross. Lunchbox you.

[E]

I would say the dishes.

[B]

Dishes are pretty bad.

[E]

Dishes.

[B]

No dishwasher, though.

[E]

I mean, you have a dishwasher, but you still got to load the dishwasher. I mean, that's annoying.

[A]

Have youall ever scrubbed a shower?

[B]

Yeah, but I haven't in a while. I didn't even think about that.

[A]

I'm shocked. Y' all go folding clothes.

[B]

Can I say why we didn't think about that?

[C]

You.

[B]

That's not an even an every three day thing. Laundry has to be done every couple to three days. Scrubbing a shower is not done, but every couple weeks to three weeks or something.

[A]

Well, I mean, but I mean, I'm just saying it's a household task that needs to get done.

[B]

We just thought, what are the normal daily tasks?

[A]

Mopping.

[B]

Don't mind.

[C]

The mopping's fine.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I don't want to do it.

[C]

It's a little tricky, you know, trying to like, just not lock yourself in a corner with a mopping.

[E]

Yeah. Where you've already been behind you and then.

[A]

Yeah, okay, Interesting.

[B]

Whatever they said.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You don't do that.

[B]

I don't really do a lot. I'll sweep. I have dog hair. I do dogs.

[A]

Oh, true. Y' all have dogs that shed.

[B]

Yeah. So a lot. Yeah. And that's only just because I have dogs that full dog. You know, feed them, take them out, put them up, all that sweep up hair. Because my wife's super allergic to the dogs.

[A]

Well, sounds between the dogs, the locking up in the trash, like you do more than you.

[B]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[C]

That's what he wanted.

[B]

Please text my wife that. Thank. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. This week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what? This is. Now. Time for the morning Corny.

[E]

The morning Corny.

[A]

What do you call a gingerbread man with one leg bitten off?

[B]

What?

[A]

Limp biscuit.

[B]

That was the Morning Corny Lobby Bone Show.

[C]

Bonehead.

[E]

Nori. This story comes to us from Palm Beach County, Florida. A 23 year old man was driving down the road and he saw a little alligator. Side of the road. He's like, ah, let me get that little guy. Got him in his truck, went to Wendy's, put his order through the drive thru, pulled up, they opened the window, said, that'll be 675. He goes, Alligator. He threw it in, threw it in the drive through.

[B]

Oh my God.

[A]

Poor little alligator.

[B]

Why waste a good alligator?

[C]

That's crazy.

[A]

So scared.

[B]

That's a good story though. For all the workers. Forever. They're telling that story. All right.

[E]

And he got arrested. No one was hurt. Yeah, luckily I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Bones.

[B]

Want to go over to Patrick who is listening in Virginia right now. Hey, Patrick.

[D]

Oh, good morning studio. Very long time listener. I just wanted to say real quick, I heard Lunchbox complaining about his room earlier. Lunchbox, love you to death. Think you're hilarious. But man, sometimes karma gets you. The way you treat Abby and all these guys and even listeners, when you don't like what they say, you kind of treat them not so great. And it may just come back to get you at times. And maybe your room upgrade was not given to you because the person to book the rooms you don't always treat so nicely.

[B]

Oh, that's a good point. The person is controlling who gets what room.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Has felt disrespected in the past by lunchboxes antics.

[D]

Maybe, maybe that could be it.

[B]

That could be Lunchbox, your thoughts.

[E]

I mean, so they want to act like a child, then I have to treat them like a child if they want to act like a child. And that's the reason I got a lower room.

[B]

But no, he's saying you must have already done that.

[E]

But sometimes like, you got it. I give respect where respect is due. Like if you are owed respect, I will give you respect, but I, I can't.

[B]

They could be saying that about you though too. Like why should I give you.

[E]

But I am a star of this show. Like, I don't understand how that's hard to comprehend. Like, maybe they have a problem with it and they're, they're sad that they never got to this level. They wanted to be in radio and they wanted to be where we are and they're not.

[B]

Don't put me in this.

[E]

Maybe they want to, they want to hold that against me. I don't know. But I can't help that. I am a star and I should be treated like one.

[B]

Patrick, your thoughts Real quick.

[D]

So I've always thought that respect is earned. It's not just given.

[E]

Correct.

[B]

What he meant to say a minute ago when he was saying his thing, but, yes, go ahead.

[D]

He meant. He meant he earned the respect. He got a lucky break and met Bobby. I think. I'm not jealous. Like I said, I think he's hilarious and love to listen to him. Yeah, but, man, how you treat people, it comes around.

[E]

Hey, Patrick, have you ever thought about this? Like, have you ever sat at your house and thought maybe Bobby got lucky and met me?

[D]

Well, hey, I'm not gonna disagree, okay?

[C]

You.

[D]

You do bring a lot to the table. But, yeah, man, I just. Look, I would love to have a beer with you sometime. I think you're awesome. It just. I'm like, ah, you know, Abby, she's awesome, but he tells her she sucks. You know, she's no Carrie Underwood, but I love to listen.

[B]

There's no need. There's no need for Abby to catch strays. Abby was doing nothing, and Abby's catching strays now. Yeah, yeah, I hear. I get your point. Abby did not need to take that bullet. She did not need to be told. Okay. She's no Carrie Underwood. Okay, Patrick, thank you for your call. We really appreciate that. I think you're onto something. For those that do not know, we're talking about our cruise, we leave on it on a Friday, the top shelf country cruise. And so we all opened our rooms in an email. It turns out we don't have the same type of room. And Amy has a bigger, better room than Lunchbox and Eddie and Lunchbox got all upset about it. It turned into drama. That's what it was. I think you guys have the good room. They just gave Amy a better room. You guys didn't get a bad room. They just gave her a better room.

[C]

No, she has a butler.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah. 24 hour butler.

[B]

Somebody on this show that needs a butler. It's Amy.

[A]

I told you all y' all could come and use my amenities.

[C]

Okay?

[B]

Hang out with her. We're done. We'll see you guys on Thursday's show. Have a great day. Bye, everybody. The Bobby Bone show theme song written, produced, and sang by Reed Yarberry.
