Bobby heard from a listener that they were at a PBR event and there was a bull named Bobby Bones. We talk to the owner to find out the truth and behind the scenes of the bull riding industry. Bobby gives you the title and description of a Cheesy Christmas movie...you tell me if it’s a real movie from a network / service service or one that we made up. A listener has an extreme punishment after his kids opened their Christmas gifts early....good or bad idea?
Committing this Welcome to Thursday show more than Studio MONI. The Yellowstone finale draws the biggest audience in the show's history, and then I read it had eleven point four million viewers.
That is a lot of viewers. Today.
It's already getviewers to watch anything anything. Eleven point four million is a massive number for now, that's crazy. I've not watched the finale yet, so nobody spoil anything. But I did an interview yesterday with the governor, well, the senator. She went from governor to senator. Yes, she was awesome. So but Yellowstone done. They're spinning off Beth the Best Unripped.
They're getting their own show. I mean they're big characters.
Yeah, the two biggest other than Constners or Yeah, but Beth and Rip were getting their own and the other ones I wouldn't consider spinoffs. They're like prequels eighteen ninety six, eighteen eighty seven, eighteen ninety eight, eighteen ninety nine.
They do one forever every year. So yeah, good for Yellowstone.
My Yellowstone podcast will start early next year and it's like eight episodes only, and it'll be over the history of Yellowstone. I pretty excited about it, but I've not watched the final episode, so I don't want it.
I don't even made to spoil it. And you guys are who's seen the no because.
The whole season that's part of my Christmas break plans.
Nice. So how many Christmas movies do you think you've watched?
A lot?
Is it the go to?
Yeah, that's what I have on in the background most all the time. That's why I've taken a break from things like from and I'm struggling to watch other things that I was really liking, and even the starting Yellowstone or Saving up Land. Man, it's all Christmas all the time.
We're gonna play a game later. Why, I give you a little a little prequel. Okay, that's not a prequel, it's just the game. Before we lay the game, I will give you a Christmas movie. It could be fake or it could be real. I give you the name of the movie, and I'll give you the plot of the movie. Tell me if it's fake or real. Okay, this exhibition, all right, exhibition game. Here here we go, fake or real. This one's called Dear Santa. Eleven year old Liam has dyslexia and accidentally addresses a letter to Satan rather than Santa. Unfortunately for him, A leather and fur clad, horned version turns up and offers to Graham three wishes and the devilish hope of stealing the young boy's soul.
Dear Santa, Oh.
Boy, Chris feel good? I said, Christmas? Is that real or fake? Dear Santa? He's dyslexic and you write a letter to Satan instead of Santa.
I can see the artwork in this right transwer down. Yeah, I did three here, Amy fake un that's so fake. The previous hilarious. That's in the previous three times. It's Jack Black post alone.
Yeah you saw it. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks really funny.
I wanted it to be funnier. I wanted because Jack Black is so cool.
But yeah, not as great as I was. Yeah, what do you review it? What do you give me?
Two and a half out of five devil horns? What platform paraplus?
This is real? Yeah, dude, hilarious. I did though, like it just likes the kids his letter to Satan's.
At the same time, I really thought that was making fun of Eddie and Amy.
You guys wrote that up.
It's the same directors who did Dumb and Dumber, So it's that type of humor, all right. Next up, The Nine Lives of Christmas. Handsome Firefighter Zachary is a committed bachelor until he inadvertently adopts a cat and realizes he can handle companionship after all. Thankfully there's an attractive veterinarian nearby. The Nine Lives of Christmas Reel or fake?
Oh man, I man.
Amen, Amy should be real, so real, lunchbox, it has to be faked.
Eddie sounds real to me. It is real on the Hallmark channel. Wow, have you watched it?
I've not seen this one, so she makes a note. Now I have one more real or fake. It's called only clause. Annalie meets Jake, who's stopped by her Christmas boutique shopping for his mom. She thinks she found the man of her dreams, but is very secretive about what he does for work. He's very secretive. He invites her to the city for Christmas, and she finds out that sometimes ending up on Santa's naughty list is a good thing.
What's the crowd?
Only clause? Annalie meets Jake, who stopped by her Christmas boutique shopping for his mom. She thinks she found the man of her dreams, but he's very secretive about what he does for work. He invites her to the city for Christmas, and Annalie finds it sometimes ending up on Santa's Naughty List is a good thing. His claws smelled spelled like the Yeah. But I think it's the only fans obviously. I think it's a play on that only clause.
I'm in. I'm in for the world. I'm in maybe real. That's as as it gets, Eddie. Not real, it's fake. It's fake. Come on, guys, I don't know. In the exhibition at do you want cool? It's only exhibition now, Oh dang. Ready the real game doesn't count, so it's like a third of a point. It's like a shret bug.
Make a notion in the notes that that doesn't count.
Motion motion accepting already said that earlier.
No, but just wanted it because you'll count it as one of your things where you're like, I'll just win every game.
He does win every exhibition.
Anonymous sin.
Because here's a question to be I love Bobby Bones, I love my boyfriend, but sometimes I get embarrassed how much of a cheap skate he can be. He makes a great living, but he grew up poor. Money is front of mind for him all the time. When we go places together, he will always comment on how things are so expensive, and when we eat out at a restaurant, he'll calculate their tip to the penny so he doesn't accidentally pay more than fifteen percent. I love them, I wish he would lighten up on the frugality at times. Should I chalked us up to his quirky package and take him how he is? Or should I get him a change his behavior and not sweat every cent? Signed a girlfriend of a cheap skate. Well, the first thing that I see in this that really screams at me in a neon sign that goes is should I change him?
Nope, can't change him. You can't change anybody.
Slowly, through a lot of events, maybe his perspective will change a little bit. People that did not grow up with money, they're one of two ways, and sometimes they're both at the same time. They're either extremely frugal because they do not want to go back to how they used to be poor, or they are extremely generous because they're like, holy crap, I now have money and I want to give it to everybody who doesn't because I didn't have it. And it can bounce back and forth between them. I think I bounce back and forth between them in different ways because I have money now and I didn't at all.
You're not going to change him.
I don't think there's anything wrong with him calculating you're gonna be so happy he's frugal at certain points in your life.
It's gonna be like the greatest skift ever.
I do understand that this can be annoying, but I'm going to tell you, in the top one hundred list of things that could be annoying about a partner or something that could be detrimental to the relationship, this isn't it cheap and frugal different things. Sounds like he's smart with his money because he didn't have any. If someone's like he doesn't want a tip, he tips five percent, that means how he grew up is now affecting him in a negative way. That's making it negative towards other people. I don't see this happening if I were. You don't try to change him when he does do something that is a bit generous financially, show him a lot of praise for it. We react praise way more than we do the negative. Instead of somebody's like you did this bad, or if they're like we did that good, I react so much better and I learned so much more. I feel better when someone you do that good, so I do it good again. You're not going to change him.
Be happy. It's this way. Be happy.
He's also not worse than this. Very easily could be. I shouldn't say worse. It could be more of an issue with him if you grew up with no money, but.
He will change consistency.
If my wife has your constant remind me we're not We're gonna be fine constantly.
Constantly when it comes to living, like.
Just yes, just no money financially, just to constantly go, stop freaking out, you're gonna be I'll promise you we're gonna be okay. And so that influence, though, allows me to be free and open or in other ways, because at the same time I walk around with a cash flow, with a wallert full of cash, and I tip everybody like crazy. But at the same time I'm like, oh boy, I don't know if we get so your environment is who you are, that's his environment. Love them for it. You can help them. You're not gonna change him. That's all I would say.
Ayy, yeah, I just think you can encourage. You don't have to nag and.
Encourage you feel judging. I'm just for the record, No, you could.
But the praise part is great too. And I think for any type of criticism that comes, you need like I think they say like five positive interactions after that.
So I snipped that crap out though, what hey does that cod to me? Or if like we're having a meeting there like hey, what, I just want to say, like it's a work meeting and they're like, I want to start with this. This has been so good. I know something bad's about to happen. I'm sniffing it out already. And if it doesn't, while I spent the whole time thinking about it.
Anyway, I'm saying, and you're not at work in your relationship, five positive positive.
So I know when it comes. When it comes, I know something fishy.
I'm just saying, try to keep it positive and yes, encourage him when he has done something that is giving. And you can be the ying to his ying. Maybe he's more frugal, and then you can be more you know, loose, and you'll accompliment each other. Yeah, any better, never mind with your money, who lives with your money?
With her money, her money? Yeah?
Yeah, they're a girl friend boy brother yeah, yes, yes.
Yes we can they get married. Yeah, then it's a whole different game. All right, there you go, thank you, closing up. Listen to this voicemail. I have a lady who comes in all the time and she always.
Asks for extra surru extra everything, extra shot of espresso.
Flavor, all of it, and it costs me extra money. But she never leads a chip.
The other day, she rang up with a card and she left and I looked down.
And it had the screen.
On there for a tip, and I almost tipped myself from her card, but I didn't. I want to know.
If she's always asking for.
More, should she leave a tip?
And would it had been wrong for me that leaves myself.
A tip that's unpacked, Yes, it would have been wrong for you to leave yourself a tip.
It's literally ceiling.
Yeah.
So it sounds like he owns whatever the small coffee place is because this is costing him money.
So what I would say, first of all, is I would.
Do plus twenty five plus fifty for these different things, charge for them, sarch charging her?
Yeah, so is her? No everybody?
I mean I would put it on everyone. Well, yeah, no, I think you put it on espressed. An extra expresso shot does cost more like a syrup though, but again an extra pampa syrup.
Yeah, we we I expect to pay more when I asked for.
That stuff, so not until I had to run your business. But little stuff like that is costing you money, so make sure it doesn't you at least break even.
It's on her to tip. I'm glad you did. I'm glad you didn't tip.
Imagine.
Yeah, it's she'sn't think about it, think it's a thing, or I guess if it's on the screen and she lunchbocks. Well, so that's our advice. One charge for extra things. Nothing wrong with that. Coffee shops do that too. You shouldn't have added a tip. Good job being honest. That's from Amy and I. We signed that we have a good job. Then then yeah, but he's about to hear lunchbocks. Your thoughts on this whole situation.
I see, I feel like he's still man. That's you could get arrested for that, right. She could complain to the police, say hey, this dude, this business is adding tips to mind, so listen. If you don't want to give her extra stuff for free, charger for it. Like, I don't understand why you expect a tip.
You're doing your job. You're doing your job, that's it. I think his thing is it's his probably his place.
He's giving her all this stuff for free and she's not tipping, and that's annoying him because of all the free steps.
That's a new problem for giving stuff for free.
Well as Amy and I said, we go to places and they charge all this, so we think you should charge there. And I don't think you're gonna go to jail. It's put an extra two bucks on there. But and it's also at the same time and you just be like, no, I didn't.
She did. But you don't want to be in that situation and be like, oopsie, do I hit That.
Expectation is she's not gonna in your mind to charge for the stuff's charge.
That's it. It's costing you money. Problem solved a pile of stories.
A new study suggests that walking seven thousand steps a day could help reduce the risk of depression. So we know that steps just help you overall in general, but there's never been a study that is focused specifically on the link to steps and depression. So this is really amazing news.
It is I feel though, and I've never been clinically depressed, thankfully, some day ima experience that I do not know. But I feel like if even if I'm just like a little bummed, the last thing I want to do is go work out. So it's like, go work out and it'll fix your sadness and depression. But you know what I want to do last when I'm go for a walk, do anything, even if I'm just like like fixt your sadness by getting on treadmill. Treadmill makes me more sad, and I get how it endorphins all that, But also, dont people feel like they can just walk in it's better because there's a lot that's a real thing.
Oh yeah, not at all. I mean depressions on a spectrum for sure. So this is just if you are feeling down, I mean some stuff just like clinically you can't get out of bed. I'm not saying oh, go get seven thousand steps. It doesn't have to be all at once. Just look at your day trying to move more, and they're saying, what it does with the brain, it'll lessen some of these symptoms.
One at a time, seven thousand times. You're down to the day. Pe boom. Okay, all right.
Five biggest regrets men face when they hit middle age. There's a lot of men in the room right now, so I'm gonna share these with.
Well, hold on, but it come to us first. Let's think.
Well, like, let's say, if what is your biggest regret at middle age lunch box?
What comes to mind? I still think like certain girls.
Like like you like what like you didn't and you should.
Have didn't I should have so like because I thought, oh there'd be another opportunity, Like you know, I'm like, I don't respond to the text day, I don't really feel like them coming over today, and then it's like two months goes by and then they move on.
And so a broader answer could be like.
Physical romantic experiences that you didn't do before you got read something like that.
Yeah, okay, that's fair, Eddie.
Yeah, mine would probably be buying a house, like I remember somebody at twenty four years old was like I just bought a house and like, you're crazy, Like how would.
You do that?
I wish I would have bought it a long time ago, but I didn't. I bought a house like five years ago, my first house, like five years ago.
Oh, you were in a position to do it. Sometimes you may not be.
I know, I just feel like I should have made that decision a lot earlier.
I wish, which is a weird word because I really I don't really wish it.
But I think the thing I missed out on was fun. I'd know.
I Oh yeah, I didn't. I was just focused and I'm glad. I wouldn't change it. But I think the one thing that I look back at, I was like, man, maybe I could have just dabbled it in a little more fun, like a little more and I don't drink and never drink, but it's like going to stuff because then I could for sure be like not for me. Now I feel like and not for me, But I'm like maybe it what I don't know, Like fine, I just have more fun.
I'm not too late.
I kind of over it now. I'm too tired for fun. Okay, so go ahead.
These are the top five not taking health seriously. Sooner.
It's a good one. Yeah, that's good.
Prioritizing work over family.
Wait, reversed that they did. Hold on, I don't understand.
They regret prioritizing work over their family.
Oh here's what I say. In your twenties, work as hard as you possibly can. Don't even look back. You don't even need friends. Work as hard as possibly. Thirties you start to gauge it a little bit, and then forties you gotta have a balance.
The twenties, kill yourself.
Your regret was just that maybe you didn't partake in fund Yeah.
But I still said, I still said, I think what I did and how I did it was awesome. I think you could still have fun doing that with twenties, go hard as you possibly can.
Well, some people in their twenties have are married and have started a family.
And good for them.
But if it's like you don't need balance in your twenties, if you're like, oh, should I have balance, Nope. If you don't already have it, had hitch in the face. Work as hard as you can, then about thirty you start, because then you have a base a fundamental like your fund. You're good actually not have to worry about everything anyway, go ahead.
Next one is not going after a dream.
That's good.
That'll be when we died toom have that one forever.
Probably being afraid to open up emotionally. Yeah still there, oh man again not too late.
Yeah, but it's not like you guys will re open books on tiers. No, we're not.
Yeah, it doesn't have to be public emotion. But are you able to open up to your significant others emotionally?
Working on it? Depends on we get out of it, Okay.
And then the last one, which maybe this falls under lunchbox missing out on some girls, but it says letting friendships fade.
That's not what they mean by that.
But yeah, okay, he got jelly roll. He has lost like so much weight one hundred and ten pounds and he finished a five k this year. Anyway, He's hit a lot of milestones when it comes to his health. And he was on his wife podcast and he revealed what his ultimate goal is.
I want to be able to cover of men's health by March of twenty twenty six.
Let's go new goal.
Yeah, so that is his goal.
It's so famous, I probably put him on there now, Yeah, losing one hundred and ten pounds, but maybe he wants to be on the cover with like a shirt off or something.
Well, he went on talking about how generally it's very ripped fitting in on the cover, usually shirtless, and he does want to be on there when he reaches his goal. But he's going to accomplish a lot more in twenty twenty five and then twenty twenty six. I'll be ready.
You know my resolution for twenty twenty five, which is went on a scratch off on holding that one. So went on the scratch off big and I'm gonna do it on this show. It's got to be one thousand bucks or more and I hope it happen, and I'm gonna do it every time. It's gonna be on this show when I scratch all year. The big Wood tickets too, Yeah, not like the one dollars, it'd be at least like the twenty dollars tickets.
It's a great It's not resolution.
I want terrible cheering against you, but I am going to be all year.
Cannot wait to have a resolution come true. I'm excited for twenty twenty five.
Okay, I am that's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news, Bobby.
And you ever see the hockey games where all of a sudden, people just start throwing like Teddy bears on the ice.
Yeah, yeah, that's what this is. It's awesome.
For the past twenty five years, the Portland Winterhawks hockey team, i's had a special event where fans attending the game are asked to bring Teddy bears, and so at one point in the game, sometimes it's a goal, everybody just chunks bears and it takes a while to clean them up, but all the bears, and this one there were seventeen thousand stuff.
Oh my gosh.
They were thrown onto the rink and they give them to kids in the hospitals and kids who needed during the holidays. Those are fun. Yeah, yeah, I love that. That's from koi In. It's a great story. That is what it's all about. That was telling me something good. We had a listener call us and say she was at PBR recently and there was a bull named Bobby Bones. And so we have Josh Hilton, who is the owner of Bobby Bones, the bull on.
Josh, what's up, buddy?
Going on?
Man? First question, Bobby Bones, the bull is named after me? And like, how broad my shoulders are? I mean, I am like, is it? Where'd the name come from?
Pretty big Denzel Washington fan, And he was in a movie called Two Guns. His name was Bobby Trench, but they called him he had a couple of nicknames. They called him Bobby Beans, Bobby Bones. I know it got Bobby and I don't know. Ever since this bull was a calf. He just kind of reminded me of of Bobby Bones from that movie. So I tell how he got his name. Most for the most part, dang A little bit.
I'm sad.
I thought maybe it was named after me. That's okay, though, had you true and be completely honest? Have you ever heard of me?
Before I was really full time in the rodeo world. I used to listen to you guys in the mornings and stuff on the way to work. So yeah, I have heard of you.
Oh that's awesome. And where do you live? Where would you listen to us?
It would have been on I guess it would have been on satellite radio because I'm from Houston, from the Houston area.
So with Bobby Bones the bull, Like, what kind of bull is he?
Like?
Is he one that scares people?
I don't understand even how Bobby works, Like do you submit, they draw, and then they get they they get Bobby in the.
Draw basically the way it works, it's a PVR, it's a random draw. Uh. There's guys that qualify for the you know, the Unleash the Beast Tour. They're the best forty five, best thirty five guys in the world. And uh, there's actually a livestock director that selects the bulls for that tour. And then once he selects the bulls for each event, uh, you know, like for Saint Louis, Bobby Bones was selected for that event, and uh, it's a it's a random draw at that point, and there it's they're matched up with with whoever they randomly draw, and then uh, then you just kind of get to see how the cards play out after that.
What kind of bulls? Bobby Bones man?
He's actually if if you didn't know him, you'd thank you was probably pretty scary. He really walks around like he's he's tough and he's really confident, and he'll even act like that a little bit, but you can actually kind of pet on him in hand feed him and stuff like that. So he's kind of he's kind of got of got a tough persona, but I think he really wants to be your buddy at the end of the day.
Sounds a lot like me. That's you nothing more. It's ever been said that's accurate to me.
So how do you pick a bull to be one of the bulls as a bull riders, right, because I'm imagining you have a bunch of bulls.
We actually have quite a few, but uh, my partner, Bob Whisnett, actually raised this bull. And uh, another part of why he got his name is is when we were hauling a lot of bulls for Bob and he was raising them and stuff like we kind of stick with stuck with the Bob name. We had a bull that was Bobcat that went to some PBRs and stuff. And uh, I've got a bull called bad Bob that that Bob raised as well. And that's kind of how Bobby Bones got his name. We had to have a Bob in there. But we've started these calves. I've had him since he was just a calf, and I mean we we trained and bucked him and you know, and just kind of developed him into what he is now. And then you know, once they get to a certain age, this is kind of this is the level that you're shooting for. This is this is like getting to go play in the majors. And we took him to some amateur deals and some some lower level deals, and you know, he looked like he had the tools to to be the kind to play at this level. And luckily, you know, we got he the livestock director director selected him to uh to go. So here we are.
When I was in like first grade, I got selected. I was put into something called GT, which was gifted and talented, and I think it affected me in a bunch of great ways. A challenge me is there like a bull part of that, Like when you see him as like a baby boy, like you realize there's something different about him, and so you're like, we got to get him in the bucking bull GT class.
That's basically what I am. I'm a I'm a bucking bull trainer. And uh, we start cavs straight off their mama. We you know, We've got training routines and stuff like that, and I've got partners that raised raised these animals. I've got partners. We go out and we find them and buy them from other breeders. And then I've got people that, you know, they just want to be a part of the buck and bull business. They don't really go look for them. They they come to me and trust me that we're going to go out and find them something. And you know, they they've got full time jobs there and you know, completely different industries. But you know, just like you know your listeners, she watched the PBR and you know, I enjoyed it. Whatever, But you know, anybody can be involved in this deal. And but that's what kind of my job is, is I kind of connect the two. I've got the place and the facility to to see those bulls that need to be in a training program and try to get them to this level and kind of get them linked up with somebody that wants to be involved in the bucking bull industry, and you know, and kind of unite the two completely different cultures and give people a different experience that you know, maybe they they wouldn't be able to experience on their own because they don't have the ability to you know, see or train or you know, most of them sometimes live in subdivisions or you know, high rise apartments and in inner cities and stuff like that. So we just kind of you know, connect the two and able to facilitate all aspects of it for people that want to be involved. You ever ride Bobby Bones, that is a big negative. I love my position and it's not on the back of them, that's for sure.
Can you invest in? Can I invest in Bobby Bones the bull? And how do I make money?
What we have is is the American Bucking Bull Incorporated is actually a registry for bucking bulls like this, bulls bloodlines go back to multiple different bulls and stuff, and you can go back and see this. But the ABBI hosts and sanctions events all over the US that bulls are able to go and compete, you know, qualify for finals and stuff like that.
You know.
And and Bobby Bones is actually he's a three year old, so he has two more years worth of competitions with the riders where he could go and earn money and stuff like that. So there's a whole other aspect outside of the PBR that you know, people can invest in bulls and go and compete and win money. Last year we had a deal called the Million Dollar Security and there was a bull that was a ward to two hundred and fifty thousand for one out. You know. So it's getting to where there's there's a lot of money being thrown out there for these bulls, and I think, you know, I think there's gonna be a whole lot more people looking for ways to invest in them because I think the prize money's getting up there. That's it's making things a little interesting.
Yeah, but like me and Bobby Bone specifically, you don't see really an avenue, but you give you like five hundred bucks and I got like a point five share or anything like that.
I mean, that's definitely something we could do. I mean, we can we can call him the Bobby Bone Show if you want to. We can make any we can facilitate just about whatever.
Well, I don't want to like change him up and he's like, I don't even know who's talking to me now, Bobby Bones show, Like he's Bobby Bones. So do they win money if they throw the if they throw the rider off fast?
Is that how the bull wins?
So basically, once you're selected to go to PBR, you're you're giving an out, you know, an out check for that bulls out, you know, and as long as he's not insuperior and they don't have to give a re ride on that bull, they're gonna pay you an x amount for him to show up. And you know to those events, the competition bulls, uh, they're actually judged and scored based on how they perform. And then you know, they may be in a pool of thirty bulls, they may be in a pool of sixty hundred bulls or whatever, and how they perform and judge that's how they're awarded prize money or you know whatnot. So there's there's two different ways to kind of go about making a little bit of money with them.
With bulls that you ride, are they mostly male? Mostly female?
No male? No female? What's that?
So they're all males?
Yeah?
So good. Yeah, that's a good point.
What about like a mean, mean cow like you just did.
That's really mean? You're like if we should buck off her?
Well that those are the ones that norly make good moms. So that's what that's what we used the good mean coals for.
That's a great point, Amy, that's my ad degree coming out.
Well, had you not said that, I'd asked the question and just been like, I can't wait for the answer.
Yeah, sure, but I'm such an idiot.
Okay, So what are we rooting for Bobby Bones and ball? How does Boby Bones Bowl win the championship? Because we want to follow him now.
Basically, the PBR awards the world champion bull based on eight outs throughout the year. High score with the highest average, you know, basically wins. So you know, that's that's kind of the level you're you're hoping to look for a bull that caliber. Uh, they're few and far between right now. There's some great bulls out there. So mainly the thing for Bobby Bones is is we're looking for a long, you know, solid career out of him getting to the PBR you know, world finals in May and in Fort Worth. So that's that's our that's our next goal right now.

I felt though that Amy having a knowledge and it was a bit unfair, but you guys didn't.
So now I'm like, oh, was she gonna kicked her out? She's loved it, she loves them. You're right, Amy is our winner.
She is.
All she does is when when it comes to Christmas movies and identifying if their fake are real.
That's a fun game. On the phone. Now, Hunter in Virginia, who's got a question for us? Hunter, what's going on? Buddy?
My son has been battling leukemia for about past year and a half and there's a local nonprofit that donates gifts. Well, we went and down all those wrapped and my kids found all of those gifts, unwrapped them all tour apart everything. So at the discipline, my wife and I wrapped up into boxes and put them in a pile in our fire pit and lift them on fire. Just trying to understand if I went too far. I just wanted to get your take on it.
That's crazy.
I kind of love it. And now there are some elements factors here. I'm very sorry to hear that there's something battling leukemia. Can I ask, do you guys feel like it's under control and he eventually will be able to beat it?
Like where is that in the process.
Absolutely, he's doing great. We're going to c HJAD here locally, and he has a great team of doctors and he is doing fantastic great.
Then I fully support it because I mean, if he was really sick, really really sick, and he opened the presence, it's like, you know what, do whatever you want to do. I feel about you. Let it rip. If he's doing a lot better, I think it's hilarious. He's still he didn't burn the gifts. You made him think you were burning the gifts. No, I mean I I co signed completely, not even a parent, like, actually, I love it.
I think it's hilarious.
Amy, you go, yeah, I just wanted to make sure leukemia thing wasn't a factor in that, and that you know, if the kids like told you only have possibly, So it's like I'm opening every gift too, I'm stealing. I'm like, I'm doing all all the things the Bibles don't do. I'm doing them all to get out of my system, you know, because I'm not anyway.
I think I'm getting more and more open to the outside of the box type of parenting stuff.
Is that out of the box.
I don't think that would be super in the box, Like I'll show you I'm not burning all the gifts.
I don't think anyone.
Yeah, that's not in the box.
I'm not familiar with the box.
Yeah, let's say that sounds out of the box because they.
Didn't burn the gifts.
I know, as of this point, do the kids feel like the gifts are still burnt and they're not getting home because of what they did?
Yes, perfectly. I can't get enough of this.
I mean, I don't know. I can't decide yet if it's just this is gonna be like something funny they laugh at all the time, or later in life they're me in therapy a right, I don't know.
And both both can be happening.
I yeah, that's awesome because they're still getting the gifts. And they're learning a lesson. I'm out of your parent goo. I me, It's definitely my style for sure of parenting. But I'm curious what what's their reaction like, are they kind of like Christmas is over?
Or like what are they thinking.
That there was a lot of tears? They both think that Christmas is over? And the main issue was that they were lying to my wife and I repeatedly leading up to this, and then they lied about this. So that was primarily what the discipline was about, was about lying.
Can I ask this question? Hunter? And so let's say they did not lie.
Let's say they did the open the gifts they weren't supposed to, and then you said, you guys open these guests and they're like, yes, we opened the gifts.
We knew we shouldn't. Then how do you react?
Usually my discipline for that type of stuff is exercise. We live on a farm, and I will have them clean the souls or something.
Treadmill.
Okay, I think the treadmill is awesome too, Don't get me wrong. I think it's he puts them with picks and rocks like in jail chores.
I love it.
But okay, for you, I just want to make sure we getting this straight. What hurt you and your wife the most and what you are actually trying to teach the lesson is about lying, which is much much bigger than just opening the gifts.
Absolutely, I could not think this is the best.
I want to do this on the show here.
Yeah, if you lie, I burn all your stuff up, but it's not really your stuff. So as a non parent, at least so far, I'm gonna go with I think it's an awesome idea.
I love it.
They are still going to get the gifts, and they've learned a lesson of don't lie because that's what happens, and they'll even retain that lesson once they get their gifts. This is scarring. This is one of those scars you need to have, though. Don't lie your kid, don't lie to your parents. Amy, I'd like your final thoughts on this. They will lie, burn your kids gifts. I have never tried that I'm trying to think of. I've thought about returning some stuff.
To show Yeah that's really doing it though.
No, But the thing is that I'm like that they didn't even know that I got it for them yet.
But there are why you show them and then you return it.
Yeah, I'll be like, well, see this this is now going to another kid I donated, But then do you give it back to them later? I don't know. I just feel like my husband and I we co parent really well, and we just had a conversation last night about how we just need our kids to have a little bit more respect and we don't understand why they're lacking it, and that's on us. Like a lot of times this is our parents. When we're the parents, some of their behavior falls on us, and like, what are we creating to where they feel that you need to actually give respect and have gratitude?
How come some parents' kids because some of our friends have kids and they are so good around you.
No, yes, constantly.
Sure, I'm positive, absolutely positive, and I'm sure they have their moments.
But no, I mean i've met some too, and I'm like doing that. I don't know are my.
Kids when we go to people say, well, don't.
Compare your nice you have like four dude, yours are like it's why it's for boys though, too, Like that's wild, Eddie, give me your grade on this guy's oh, a plus plus.
Plus, So you're good. I'm a plus plus plus. I think it's so created. I do skip a grade.
It's cool, like you just skipped a grade because you're way advanced in this and they're still going to get their gifts.
Amy Graadham, I.
Don't know enough still will say b which is not.
Like it. Hunter. I'm so glad you called us with that.
We stand by you, and if for some reason they are still being problematic, say okay, look these gifts that we burn and be honest with you does not We're not your gifts. Pull out the real gifts, then really burn them. Yeah, you do it again. Yeah, I'm a Hunter. I think it's a great parent First of all, I'm not a big parent shamer. I think parent shaming sucks because every situation is different. I'm rooting for your son. I hope you guys are able to get through that. It sounds like you are and that's amazing and I'm glad you are teaching them this lesson.
And I love it, Hunter, and thank you for calling us.
Well, it's time for the good news. Naomi Denon has been a waitress at the twenty fourth Street Cafe in Bakersfield, California, for nineteen years and the other day, she just went into work.
It's just a normal day.
A group of nine people come in, she sits them down, they order, they have their meal, and at the end they tipper nine hundred dollars.
Each person put in a hundred bucks. She's like, pretty cool. And the cool thing is she just got engaged.
So she said she was really stressed out about her wedding fund.
That's going to go to that. And this isn't one of those where the bosses coming and you're like, you mean too much. We get it. She got to keep it all. She gets to keep it all of it great.
And there are times when people should split tips if multiple waiters are working on a table or even assisting. But I hate those where it's like a massive one and the manager's like, you can't keep that, and you're like why they end up getting fired.
Yeah, that's we've heard of that. That's so dumb. I like this one. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Focus on great story. Those people who did that, that's awesome. That is what it's all about. That was telling me something good.
