Transmitting I what's up everybody, Thank you for being here. Hopefully had a great weekend morning studio many This is one of those things where if you see something, we always say, if you see something, do something, say something. A situation happened with Eddie. What do you you see on the side of the road. A couple doing what?
Yeah, they're fighting. They're arguing, like they pulled over. I guess the argument was so bad. They pulled over on the side of the road. The wife or the woman got out of the car and she was on the passenger side with the door wide open, yelling at the guy. And the guy had his head on the steering wheel, just like, oh.
My gosh, that's awkward.
Yeah, and she was I'm going to town. Whatever was She was just so angry about it. So what did you think in your head? Because I would have thought, that's not my business, because nobody was hitting each other. I would have just kept driving.
Yeah, this is highway or like a residential, like a side street.
No, in the in the city, a regular street in the city doesn't feel like a regular street. Highway, not a neighborhood. Their business is around, but it's a regular street, and so the cars pulled over and she's just letting him have it going to town. Did you slow down?
Of course?
Well, well no, what happened? I was slowing down to stop at a red light because it was kind of an intersection. Oh my god, people were stopped listening to that. What was she yelling at him about?
You know, dude? I could not hear.
I tried to, like cause I was in the jeep and I tried, but the traffic was just a little too loud.
Couldn't hear. Did you feel like possibly you should intervene?
Yeah?
I felt one.
Uh, sometimes I've argued with my wife and I we could really use a mediator.
Oh you're not talking about your word.
No, there wasn't any physical stuff going on. She was just yelling and he was just really, you know, sat down about it.
So what did you end up doing?
Nothing?
But I really did think, like, okay, what if I pulled over and said, hey, guys, everything okay, Like, look, I've had problems in my marriage too, Like we can got shot?
Yeah, yes, what would you have done? Launch box?
I first thought shot shot?
You got you gotta at least start videoing so you can get something happens.
But mediating is kind of a good idea.
I like that there's.
Anything I can help you guys out with. It seems like you guys are in a disagreement. And because the guy will be like, see what she's saying is this and goes like, no, what happened? I think they want someone to get in their business. If they're pulling over on the side of the road, they're not even gonna get home for the fight. That's bad news and nobody is going to be able to get inside the insanity.
But but what I would have done called number one? I figured you would have what would you have said at number one?
And we got a domestic situation here?
Uh, there is a man and a woman in a heated altercation on the side of the road. Car pulled over. She is out of the vehicle. I think you need to get officers here quick.
Oh you even said that.
I've had to do it before. I mean I've had I've had it. It was at a four way stop and the car to my right, like the I was going straight and they were on the right hand side. They were at that stop sign. The woman is screaming, get you know, get out of the car, Get I'm getting out of the car and he's going, no, you're gonna drive me home.
You're gonna drive me home right now. And I pulled over and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on?
I called nine one one and then I followed them.
He went from probably doing something not that great that isn't even worse because she was screaming. He really felt she was saying someone please help me.
That's what she said.
You lying. No, you called nine one one so much. I think you're lying about it. No part, No, I am. Honestly, she's yelling somebody please help me.
Yeah, like please, and she has tears.
Stop then and she took the key, and he was like, get in the car, and you're gonna drive me home.
Get the car. You're gonna drive me home.
Right and just told the story And this part was not.
In the story.
Man, I don't remember.
Go to the tate.
Does not lie.
Then you chase them And then I followed them and I was like, they just ran a red light, so I'm gonna run the red light. And the people like, don't run the red light and I'm like, no, no, we're running the red light. And then They're like, sir, just back off. You don't need to follow them. We have their license plate, we know where they live. I'm like, who cares where they live?
What?
They don't make it to.
Where they So what happened how this end?
I finally backed off because they told me to back off and.
They were going they were going fast, So you didn't back off for a long time, even like, who's.
Way My wife and I and kids know there's pretty kids. Wait, no, I did have kids in the.
Car the tape.
But yeah, I mean that's what I would do.
I mean, you got to save a lot, I see in my situation though, no one was in danger, so there was no need to.
Call nine one one. You did the right thing.
Not I think you did the right thing doing nothing. Nobody wants a mediator in that situation.
Yeah, Joe, listen to the guy who's called nine one one so many times that he just was confused whether or not his kids were in.
The car that time or not.
You're running red lights with your kids in the car, Yeah, I'm pretty sure so. But also I don't remember the story being that dramatic.
Oh it was dramatic, man, This lady bawling bawling.
Arise, Eddie, I'm glad you did nothing. Lunchbox. I don't know what to say.
What do you mean Eddie has no idea? What was going on here? To help somebody? What if someone need to have it?
I mean, that's true. It's like there's a lot of opportunities where.
Everything okay, everything was okay, and you could have been down Hey's everything okay.
Yeah, but that's the same thing. Then they would said no, and then I would have stepped in.
And they said, yeah, then you have a reason they said yes.
It takes me back to my childhood because we left Geno's East Pizza in downtown Chicago, and right across the street, this dude was roughing up a woman against the wall.
My dad went over there.
Well, yeah, yeah, I would get that if you're roughing up, but told him you should have just called nine one one. You don't want to get involved in the domestic gone on you. Yes, And so that's why I shouldn't run out a lot of kids in here. So maybe that's where I get my genetic crime.
Soop crime.
Yeah, I'm a crime fighter.
Any good job, like, good job, everybody, good job? All right? Here by the way.
Mail and red Air to get something we call Bobby's Mail.
Yeah, hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I have been married for almost a year. We each have two children from our previous marriage, and we share custody with our exes. My kids seem to have learned to love their stepdad. But despite everything I've done to try to get close to my husband's kids, they still have not warmed up to me. I think maybe a ex to tell them things about me that maybe aren't true, trying to keep them from liking me. But I do not know this positively. How can I try to be closer to them? I want to bond with them, but I want to know how to do it. Signed step mom, I'm gonna give you the real easy answer. Had a stepdad. Moms no longer live anymore. But it is literally time and consistency. That's it. Is the most simple solution. It may not work out, she may he whomever. The other side is maybe talking crap about you. The only way to actually win that is just time and consistency. That's it. If you try too much, that'll push them away. If you try too little, they'll never come closer. In life, consistency is currency. That is the key. Don't be a try hard because then you shall consistency. That's all. Am you want to help on this one?
Yeah?
No, I think it's the consistency and then reminding yourself that if you are loving and kind and showing up for them, that any of their behavior towards you, if it's negative, it's not really about you.
So just know that it.
Could be something that your ex is influencing, or it could just be their feelings about the divorce and somebody new and you can't take it personally, and don't let it get you down, even though that's not you know, it's easier said than done.
And try not to spiral toward his ex. You don't know if she's doing that or not. If she is, there's nothing you can really do about it. You don't want to confront it, and maybe she's not, And it could be a conversation to have with your current husband to go, I'm really trying. Would you mind having a conversation to just let them know I'm trying, and I'm here. I'm not trying to be their new mom or anything.
And when the kids are older, they'll know, they'll know.
Consistency that's the key. It's boring, absolutely, but hard. Yeah, it's the app it's a plus. Absolute. Thank you, Thank you for you sound like a good mom and stepmom. And I'm glad you emailed us. We appreciate that. Close it up.

It's time for the good news.
Amy So Alyssa Ferreira was born without a hand, and when she was about six years old, her mom applied to open bionics or a bionic pan arm. Situation. Well, she was too young to get it. Well, now she's nine, and guess what. She just got a huge surprise.
She got the arm.
It's a Princess Tiana arm and she got to go to Disney.
To receive it.
Princess Tiana is a Disney character.
Oh does she have like a bionic arm.
No, she's just a princess.
Got it a Disney Princess's themed.
Right, they do, They'll do a themed arm. And so she got a trip to Disney and thinking, okay, this is what it is, which is amazing in itself. But then she meets Princess Tiana and she gets a Princess Tiana bionic arm.
I'm looking at the arm, so, and I'm looking at Princess Tiana and how she dresses.
It just looks like her on the show. But she got an arm. That's cool, Like, that's that's much a better gift than an arm. Maybe like a subscription to year for Netflix. Somebody got me that once for like my birthday. I thought it was the greatest gift. But after that, like a bionic arm, that's really cool. Great story, that is what it's all about. That was telling me something good on the Bobby Bones Show.
Now Styles, Okay, so Styles, that's your name?
Yeah?
We really okay? So this is this? Everybody, this is Styles and it just quickly it used to be Styles. Howary, which is your last name, which feels a lot like Harry Styles. So you drop the Howry. Yeah, got it. I agree. What's funny is like, everybody, this is Styles. He has a song one hundred percent that we've been playing a lot. So Styles to me sounds like somebody who's like super fashionable, but it doesn't sound like listen to this. Styles in this room holds the state record for the largest moose shot for archery in the state of Maine. Wow, yes, yes, I do so, Like what if we did like Styles, but the why was a shotgun? Something like that? You know I'm here for Hey, good to me, man, we love your song. You know we haven't met until right now, and this this is not like a gimmick or anything where it's like we're meeting for the first This is the first time that we have ever met. And we heard your song. I heard your song one hundred percent. I just started playing it, and I feel like the reaction just to me has been crazy. What about you? Have people been reaching out at all?
Yeah?
Well, and that's like, I don't want to sound like too much of a suck up, but for real, I you know, I followed your stuff for a long time since I've moved to town, and I knew that I didn't actually know the magnitude of the Bobby Bone Show until you guys showed me some love. And yeah, it has been crazy. People have been checking in from all over. I just had more people text me this morning from Arkansas. My friend's there. They heard it on the radio. My producer heard it on the Big ninety eight again this morning. So I just got to say thanks in person. I know we haven't got to meet, but I just want to thank you and your whole team, because I think I said on Instagram before, like you know, I'm a dad and a husband and that's just so huge for me and my family, and you know, moved to town trying to check a box of doing music for a living, and you guys just really helped move the ball up the hill.
So that's awesome what I liked. And then I'm gonna have you playing a second. What I liked was because this, to me was the same thing we're on and a bunch of stadies were on in Ohio on a Cleveland Wgar. Yeah, and you were talking about how that was your home station. I remember the first time I ever got put on in Arkansas. Once I started to me, that was the coolest that like my family and my friends could hear me, and you said that they was cool they got to hear the song there, Yes, it was.
That is like the biggest box for me because I grew up listening to that station. That's what got me into country music. And you know, trying. I don't really have a hometown bar that I can play at all the time, so getting pimped out in my hometown that's just so awesome.
It's the song is so catchy. I think he's just gonna play. I haven't heard him really play either, So we do a little bit of recon as in, Mike Deal will go and look up youtubes and people playing live to make sure they don't come in and sock. Let's be honest, because it's happened before early on and we'd be like, oh, we should have and Mike d has given us the thumbs up not only is the song good that you recorded, but you singing live also good? Okay, okay, so we'll be the judge for ourselves.
No fresh here, all right.
But his name is Styles, s t Y Styles, and this is his song that we play and that we love, called one hundred percent. Whenever you're ready.
Oh, I'm sorry, we can't post a live performance on the podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page you can watch it there or maybe listen live. Okay, all right, now back to the podcast.
That song it's so catchy, man, it is. It's so catchy that we well, the first time we played it, I came back in and remember was the only part we are at one time, like one hundred percent. We walked onund to that one percent. Yeah, congratulations on writing such a good song.
Well, and I gotta I gotta give credit credits due my my cousin and my friend Brad Claus, another writer and time my cousin Mikayla. She's brand new to writing and she it was actually her idea. She called me and said, hey, you know, I've been trying to write and do this this stuff, like you were kind of giving me guidance.
She goes, I had this idea called one hundred percent. You say it all the time.
I was like, oh my gosh, I said, let me call my buddy Brat and next thing you know, we uh we wrote it over zoom and everybody thought it was awesome. It was actually on hold for with Blake Shelton for a while.
It does sound like a song Blake would pick up. Yeah, sure does. Before you moved to Nashville and really dedicated to music, what what were you doing? You have a job, like a real job.
Yeah.
I was in the sixty six y nine pipe fitting Union.
My dad was a mechanical contractor growing up my whole life, and I was, you know, I didn't want to work for him. He was non union, So I went and worked for the union and cut grass.
And when you're a pipe fitter, what what does that mean?
So?
Like, you know the sprinkler systems like uh, like fire protection and stuff like threading pipe and just hanging pipe and ceilings of different not nothing, nothing worth doing.
There's a guy. So when I moved, we need that though, yes, yes we do.
But it is a tough it's a it's backbreaking, it's like it's it's blue collar work.
It's yeah, moved to town. I lived in like Brentwood, which is a suburb, and then I moved into town and the pipe federal guy he was fixing the thing made a mistake and it popped the pipe at the very top of the building I lived in, flooded the whole building. Everybody had to move. Wasn't he was it? I was just making sure right now that wasn't was this Arkansas? No, I was here, oh here, Yeah, it didn't never work, okay, just making sure sure of false. Your dad sold his corvette for you, Yes he did. For what reason?
My dad sold his corvette to fund my first recording project here in town.
Wow.
But the I and I gave my dad one hundred percent of the royal yeah, of the royalties, like you know, through the distribution, I had given him one hundred percent of the royalties back. And it was funny because a year ago we looked back on that and I had finally.
Repaid him for It took a long time.
It took almost eight years to pay him back, but he finally got his money back.
And that's a lot of love to sell, like something you treasure for, like the dream of your kid.
Yeah, yeah, he My family has been a huge, uh supporter of my music since day one, which is awesome.
What was up with this? Because again, I'll mention it again. You hold the stay record for the largest moose shot for archery in the state of Maine. So we're not talking about like game mor You just put out fake dear all time, and then they got robotic and then you that's to catch poachers. We're not But did you shoot one of those? Or was it a real moose?
Those real moose. It's in my it's currently in my kitchen right now. My wife is not thrilled about that. I'm trying to find.
The mood the whole moose.
Yeah, it's She wakes up every day mad at me because it's chilling.
Though it's taximab the head though.
Yeah, I say that a whole moose.
Not the whole.
No. Yeah, but the catch is not very big.
So it's how far away when you shot it? Thirty yards?
Pretty close, but it's it's a very long story.
Maybe we can.
I wish I could tell you all the details, but we'd be here all day.
What it sounds like to me is bow and arrow, pull back hits moose, moose goes down, big moose trophy in house Wife, Matt, How's that? That's perfect?
On the Bobby Bones Show.
Now Styles right, Styles has a song one hundred that he just played for us. When did you move to town? Though? Like what year?
I think twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen, twenty.
Eighteen, like COVID almost in my brain, so like six seven years you've been here yep, going on my going on my eighth year, and so you moved to town and obviously you're an artist, but you did the Okay, I guess I'm gonna write songs so I can just make some money until I can be an artist.
Yeah, like I you know, Warner Chapel ben Vaughn had shown h belief in me as writer and believed in what I was doing and gave me a chance to go over there and write some songs.
So your first ever number one as a songwriter was Country on by Luke Bryan that hit number one in the last few months, right last six months, nine months something like that. It was that last year, in the last year. We'll take that. I have no idea what's happening with time. So Styles is one of the writers on that, and so I asked him if he wouldn't mind playing that too, because it's always cool to hear the songwriter play the song and how you wrote it. So, what was this day like when you wrote the song? Do you remember writing the song?
Yeah, it was. It was over zoom. It was like actually crazy because there was a bunch of phone call. It was like between phone calls and zooms and stuff, and it just kind of got pieced together and then it set, you know, in the files like they do, and then got sent over to Jeff Stevens. Next thing, you know, it was the Luke Bryan single and.
We're just like randomly, yeah, like you wrote it, and they just put it, saved it, and then all of a sudden one of.
Our co writers, one of our co writers, had sent it to Jeff and that I think that's what started the spark, you know, But it was never a Hey, we're gonna write this for Luke Bryan. No, no, we're just like we do you know every day when we get in there, let's just get in and write the best song in the room that day.
All right, here he is. This is Styles, one of the writers for Country On by Luke Bryan that went number one. He's gonna play it for us now.
Oh, I'm sorry we can't post the live performance on the podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page you can watch it there or maybe listing line. Okay, all right, now back to the.
Podcast, Styles. Thanks. I wrote that song for Luke Bryant. He had a song on.
Uh.
Man, I'm a big fan. Again for people that are listening, I had never met him until today. We've been playing a song. When did you start playing music?
Well? How old were we?
Oh?
It was in fourth grade. Uh.
There was a country band that practiced my dad's mechanical shop, and I actually started out on drums and me and a couple buddies with skateboard and go to baseball practice and come back and make a bunch of noise and our first uh, we had a microphone tape to the corner of a wall at one point just playing music and started playing Battle the Bands in school and it just kind of got into my bones and I've never let it set it down.
When did you go from the drummer to the guy that wanted to be up front?
Well there was a guy, another guy that was way better at drums than me.
So I was like, you know, all, what's the logo you got in your hat and you have it on your chain? Like what is that?
So this?
Uh so this is God's grocery Store. I have a project coming out in the fall that I'm super passionate about and uh you know, it's just another thing that I can't spoil too much about it, but I I'm excited.
I got a cool thing coming out in the fall.
Well, I need to google.
While you were playing styles, I looked it up because it's a grocery car.
But I was like, oh, is that vegetables?
Maybe?
Guy, it's a deer hanging out of the grocery car with his hoofs up in the air, and it's God's grocery store.
So I'll give you just a quick sniffet on this. So I had I had created a page for a lot of my outdoors videos that I team up with, and I had that idea of that logo in my mind and my wife had designed it for me and helped me put it together. And I was writing with Casey Bethart and he's seen it on my phone and he goes, hey, what is that. I said, That's God's Grocery Store, the name of my YouTube channel, and he goes, let's write that. And next thing you know, it's like it has helped me. Really, I'm like, wow, that is me, you know, that's part of what I do.
So we will link all of his socials on ours, but his name is Styles. I'm rooting for you. You're really good as a writer. Obviously you've had success and you know as an artist. I hope you kind of achieve whatever does you want to do. I hope you achieve it. Like you shot that that Moose Oh thank you?
Yeah?
That record? Your guy that you're with you since like fourth grade? Is that true? You have a guitar player or somebody in your baby with forever? Oh yeah, my rhythm guitar player he was in that same Yeah.

Right there are is Styles everybody. I want to go over and talk to Debbie, who is listening right now Wisconsin. Debbie, good morning. Well I just can't hand a little suggestion, Victoria, we love it.
Go ahead.
I was hoping that maybe you could get read to do your end of the first half of the podcast song or maybe Abby. It just hurts my feeling so bad that people don't like this.
What are talking about?
I just sang I told you that one day. People are like put it into the podcast so we know, and I'm just like, the podcast is over and now people are so upset about it.
I think he's just shortened it a little.
Bit, not at all. I might lengthen it. I'm gonna call this Stairway to Heaven led Zeppelin, Free Bird of pot. The only thing is this is how we know the first half of the podcast is over. I sing a little Diddy and people are like, have somebody else do it? I shall not. I shall stand by this so that people can you start it off You can go to the next part of the podcast very easily. I didn't even try, Honestly, I didn't even try that hard. I could try to sing it better. My wife and I play a game called sing for Real. It's the most hilarious game ever. We didn't invent it, but we play sing for Real all the time. And that means this song that you're singing, try to sing it as best you can, hard as you can. And it's funny because we can't sing. I didn't try sing forar real here, but I will not change it. But I appreciate you, Debbie, because that reminds me how irritated I get at people just generally in life, not even you. Yeah.
What does Debbie not like about it?
Yeah? It probably because it sounds so good and it's so on key, so long, Debbie, what do you not like about it?
You know, just everything?
Yeah?
Here?
Yeah? Wow. See, but here's the thing I want to abody to hear this. I still like Debbie, even though I do not like what she has to say. I think this is a wonderful example for how at this divided time something like this can happen. Do not like what she has to say. I think it's the worst thing I've ever heard. However, still like Debbie. You think Debbie's a good person, good example. Debbie. I'll consider it, but I probably won't change it. Okay, all right, I hope you have a good day. Thank you for calling me. Bye. On the podcast, we do two parts. It's into the first part. I think it's gonna win a Grammy, but Debbie doesn't pile of stories.
So you're in the bathroom and someone knocks on the door.
What do you say? Okay, ah ma'a, Oh that scares me?
You scream.
Yeah.
I don't like it because I think they're gonna open it. And I don't like when people open the door, and I'm so vulnerable sitting on the toilet. That's a vulnerable place. I don't know what's worse. Somebody walk in on you, or you walk in on somebody. But I'm gonna go with you walk in on somebody if it's of the opposite sex. I think that's worse. If I were to walk in the door's unlocked, and it's a woman sitting on the toilet. That's the worst. Then second is a woman walking in while I'm on the toilet. Then third is anybody walking in when I'm on the toilet.
Yeah, I mean that's embarrassing for sure. This is just you're not being walked in right now, like you're just knocked logged. Yeah, it's just knocked.
So o, Paul was taken.
I have the most popular answer for what people say, and it's not a scream.
Go away, no, go ahead, locked.
The most popular is someone's in here, got it?
That's what I mean, That's what I mean to say.
We do that in third person.
Isn't it weird that we don't just say I'm in here, or because I guess.
You don't know, to identify you, because sitting on toilet for some reason shameful and embarrassing. I don't know why Arabay does it, but it feels that's shameful.
The second most popular is just a minute, and the next one is yeah with a question mark because that normally gets the point across. And then my favorite one is there's actually some people that just.
Say nothing and they wait for the person to yeah.
They just say nothing and know that it's locked, so they're good, and the first of the will just disappear.
Yeah, I just and I think I mean someone's in here. Please wait a second. When I'm finished, I'll be right out. I think that's what I mean.
One in three people say it is cool to make a gift registry for a child's birthday party.
Okay, I'm gonna say why. I agree with this. People will fill the need and the pressure to buy a gift. They will not know what to buy. Therefore, what this does is provide a place for them to go so they can buy something and not feel guilty about it or have to worry about where to go. We struggle with this with our wedding. I was like, I don't need anything. She doesn't need anything. We're very blessed, so don't need anything. And somebody to me said, you should put up a registry because people are going to buy you something anyway, and at least have give them a place to go. So that we have five hundred mugs that have still not been used. Anybody need a mug. Let me know.
It's more customary to have that, But I guess the new.
True customary will do this too, Do this too children's birthday part of it, because again you're not just buying a bunch of crap that also they're not going to use.
I love it, that's true.
I got to say first, when I read this, I was like, well, I'm part of the two out of three that's like, no, we don't need to do this.
But it makes it easy on everybody unless they pick a bunch of high expensive crab and they won't. It makes that a to be the gift part so much easier. And then I also have trauma because they would open gifts up front of and I sometimes I couldn't afford get somebody a gift, or I got the worst gift because I we had no money growing up. Yes, and I hated that. I was so embarrassed. So maybe this also eliminates that gift opening too, where people feel like if I can't take a good gift, maybe I can't go.
I didn't think of that.
I hated it. It still makes me like feel bad for kids that have to do this, that if they can't get a gift and they're opening everybody else's gift or a bad gift, well I'm.
Sorry, No, I mean I think it's good. I hadn't really thought of that for some kids.
So the science is still up in the air about why mosquitoes love some people and then couldn't care less about others.
Blood type, but well, science is still up in the air.
No, No, it's blood type science yesterday.
Okay. But here's some things that could be linked to mosquito bites that you're consuming or you and it makes mosquitoes want you more, Like if you eat bananas. A study found that people are more likely to get bit after eating a banana, or really smelly cheese or floral.
Scented foods and desserts.
And the final one, which is going to be a big kicker here for some of the guys at beer.
I would say, I don't really do any of that, you know, I eating up like crazy. I believe my science is not up in the air. I made it up. But it's my science, says blood type.
What is your blood type?
Don't know whatever it is, though mosquitos love it.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news, which Bobby.
This is something that we see here where we live, and you know we live in Nashville. None of us are actually from Nashville. We moved here to do this show altogether. But there is a Nashville based newspaper called The Contributor. Everybody familiar. Yeah, there's a guy outside of our that stood out for ten years who sells a Contributor.
King Well to me, he says, Queen.
The girls are Queen. Yeah. And so what they're doing is making a big impact because what they do is they give people a job, and what that does it helps fight homelessness and gives people value. And so Keith, who is a former homeless and longtime vendor guy, set himself over for twelve years and their stability in his life because of this, he appreciates the independence and it just goes on and on and talking about how the guy Will Connolly who found it, was like seventy percent of the people that show up and work for a certain amount of time, they not only are able to benefit from the money they're making, but it actually helps them have a history with the job to find another job, like it's get on a resume like I've been And so seventy five percent of the people who are vendors find another job in housing after working for a few months. That's cool. It's changing people's lives and we see it firsthand here run us on we leave every day.
Yeah, and my buddy Josh, he's a huge Cowboys fan. He does it right on I forty.
It's my boy. I talk to him every day. Rob when you pull up. Yeah, like the accident the game, his cowboy hat. I did so.
Steven Young who we know, founder of Home Street Home.
He is no longer homeless, but so when he was sold the contributor for five years while he lived on the streets.
Yeah, great story. Big shout out, Will Connelly. That's awesome. Wk R in with that story. That is what it's all about. That was telling me something good. All right, here's a voicemail we got over the weekend.
For the love of God.
Stop singing there. That is the end of the person whatever of the podcast. Oh my god, Bobby, stop it stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it. The passion about this came out of nowhere, both sides, well mostly this side than one other person. If you go to listen to our podcast after the show, I put a little thing at the end of the first half. It's like that. That is the you the first half of the podcast randomly. People are so upset about it. Go listen to it. If you hate it, let me know. I'm not gonna I don't think i'll change it. Feel passionate. I like that. I didn't know you have like one hundred of those. If I had any good one anymore, I play those. I don't have any good ones, So there's that one. Here's Scott from Ohio.
I was at a local Golden Coral here over the weekend and they had a tip box out, so the people in the back cooking the steaks they cook a medium rare. Flipping the hamburgers is in between breakfast, so they were still working on the eggs and stuff.
What's wrong with people?
I do leave my.
Waitress to tip, even though she does only bring us soda pops. I think that's fair. I like to have everybody's opinion, but mostly I want to hear lunchboxes. Love the show, long time listener.
Thank you for that, and then I will let you start lunchbox. Since oh Scott wants to hear from you, you have about twenty second charre on the clock. Scott.
I agree with you one hundred percent. What's wrong with people?
Why are we now tipping the cooks because they're doing their job.
They're hired to.
Cook the steaks, the burgers, cook the food for the buffet, and now you got to tip them for that. It's out of control. Relax, stop with the tipping stuff.
Right, thank you. I would say you don't have to tip anybody, and there is no expectation of you to tip anyone. But I think it's if you have a buck or two, you can put it in there and help their life in a positive way, but there is no expectation to tip that person. And I do agree that in some situations tipping culture is way out of hand. But I'm not going to get offended by something that doesn't affect me. If I want to throw a couple bucks in it, throw a couple bucks in it. If I don't, I don't. It's not the same as a waiter a waitress. There are some restaurants you can tip the kitchen staff too. It's a line which is also kind of weird, but no one's making you do it. There's no reason to get upset about it. You choose to be upset. This is like when people get offended at anything. When you get offended you did that to yourself. You chose to be offended. You can move on, or you can be offended when you're offended. You did that to you. So I like you as a listener, Scott, but no need to even think about it twice if you don't want to give them a couple bucks to worry about it. Get him over the end.
Move on.
I'm good, I am moving on. Thank you. I'm moving now over to the morning corny.
Here we go, the mourning corny.
So do you think they're allowed to laugh loud in Hawaii or is it just a looha?
That was the I'll give.
You a.
LaToya Burke and Chesapeake, Virginia bought six identical tickets for the Pick five drawing. She hit all six times, obviously because all six were the same numbers, a grand total of one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Now the story comes from upi dot com and I've got questions, mostly for lunchbox. Burke told Virginia Lottery officials. She visited the store on Jackson Avenue decided to try her luck with six identical tickets. She matched all the numbers. Listen to these winning numbers five five, five five zero, whoaive five five zero, and each scored thirty thousand bucks six times threes eighteen, one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. The winner did not reveal whether she had any immediate plans for her winnings. So, Lunchbox, if you were to buy one of these, is there a maximum amount that you can spend on one ticket? Because why would you not just spend six if it's one dollars? Why did you have six dollars on one ticket?
No?
No, each ticket costs.
It's set, okay, like you can only buy a certain like if you buy one tickets price. I don't know why you would buy five of the exact same ticket.
Well, the same reason you would buy one for six times the price. If you're making a bet, instead of making five of the exact same bet, you just do it for times five. So she really wanted that. That is so weird, but she wanted it, and she you ever do that? Buy the same numbers?
No?
Do you ever play the pick three, pick five?
No?
I know never do any of those? I should? I don't know that you should. They seem to win more because there's less combinations.
Don't believe what you read because you're only reading the very rare stories. Because they weren't rare, you wouldn't be.
Reading about it. But that's what I'm saying.
She gave herself a one shot chance instead of buying five tickets with different numbers, giving her a five chances.
That's crazy.
You would never do that, No, but maybe that's the strategy.
What about the numbers five, five, five, five You ever picked when you pick numbers?
No, I would never put the like if I was doing pick five, Like when you do like lottery, like powerball or making millions, you can't pick like sixty five, sixty five, sixty five.
It only is in there one time. So these I didn't realize you could have the same number.
Because I think each of them is like zero through nine. Every single time zero the nine pulls up, either the ball goes back down in it, or it's a different little, a different little Speaking of money, the Olympics are coming up. If a United States athlete is in the Olympics, and when's the gold medal? Any idea how much they make, if any at all? I have the answers here.
Oh gosh, I feel like I've either read this or talked about it before at some point, but I don't know what, was it ten thousand dollars or something.
It's thirty seven five hundred bucks. Excuse me, every gold medal. I thought it would be more, but again I thought it would be zero. I'll be honest with you. I thought it would be zero. Then you make your money based off marketing, right, But once I read how much all the countries pay their people, I just would expect America kind of care more. We dominate. But yeah, America's thirty seven thousand, five hundred for gold, twenty two thousand, five hundred silver, fifteen thousand dollars for every bronze. Your reaction, lunchbox is why.
So how do they make money?
Like they're training their whole life for this and they're making thirty seven thousand dollars.
The same way that like a professional volleyball player would make money. Not a huge sport in America. So they can either go overseas and do it, or they can teach, or they can get a sponsor you know who I mean, or they can be a social media influencer on bone arrow. I mean, they're you have to figure out ways to make money.
That is so wild?
Would you think they should think it was a big payout. If they want the game.
You're representing your country. You should be getting paid while you train.
You should get who pays you.
I don't know.
So it's not programs. We don't have the programs really like some of the countries do. In China, they find a four year old, that's awesome. If you're in you're not even going to school. They're putting you in. You shooting nothing but baskets.
And you're doing nothing but gym nast.
That's it.
Get it.
The number one country is Serbia if you get a gold medal, but also what else they have going on? I mean they got a kind of two hundred and fourteen thousand dollars for a gold medal. Wow, Malaysia two hundred and twelve thousand dollars not winning gold. Morocco yeah, I know, will be ten million. Morocco two hundred thousand, Italy one hundred and ninety three thousand, and number five Lithuaniad one hundred and eighty thousand, keep going. But the United States is at thirty seven thousand dollars.
I'm watching that sprinter shown. It's not Tuesday's Reviews.
Not Tuesday Review Tuesday Review day. Are you done?
Nope? But it's related.
What do you like it?
It's called Sprinter and I do like it.
And this isn't a spoiler at all whatsoever because it's oh boy, it's from the Olympics.
The one hundred.
I don't think should say anything else, you to go ahead, sure.
It's one hundred meter.
I didn't know that the one hundred meter was like the coveted like will you win that?
Right on Earth? Yea?
And but some guy from Italy won during COVID times. I know this because there's masks on their faces.
But he imagine running spreading with the masks. No, it's like a sailboat. He's start going backward.
No, when they run the podium.
Anyway, he a guy from Italy shockingly won and he's very good looking. And him like, dang, he got one hundred and ninety thousand dollars for that?
Is that Olympics?
Yeah?
I think so sober was Olympics. Man, I don't know what year it is anymore. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast.
That is the end of the first of the podcast.
That is the end of the first time on the podcast. You can go to a podcast too, or you can wait till podcast to go out.
