Published Aug 13, 2024, 4:00 PM

Find out what happened when Amy went to pick up a purchase she made on Facebook Market place and if she got scammed... Plus, we share what a normal life Garth Brooks lives and Scuba Steve recalls a story from when he ran into him at the supermarket.

Wake, Wake, go in the mall and it's already and the Dodgs already, and his lunchbox Morgan too school to stay bred at.

It's trying to put you through fog.

He's running this Wig's next bit. The Bobby's on the mix, so you know what this.

Is, the Bobby Ball.

Here's a voicemail we got last night Morning Studio.

I am currently standing in a hotel in Jamesville, Florida, waiting for my husband to get ready to go to his graduation.

We both listen to.

Your show every morning, so I was calling to see if maybe you can play this to congratulate him on graduating with a dochelor's degree. That's taking a very long time. We had some months from the road, but I'm very proud of him, and I'm very grateful that our son had such an amazing role model to look up to. Love you all, thank you so much for everything you do.

Let's go well. Congratulations. I wish we know you're because we'd sing a little song for you. But if you're her husband in Gainesville graduating, a tip of the cap, a big shout out, a big backflip, all that stuff.

Congratulations, sir, it's no name though.

But a great role model. If you have a kid and you graduated, this is for you.

If that's you, this bud's for you. Remember that.

All right, let's go to Amy and get in the morning corny, The morning Corny.

What's a math teacher's favorite dessert?

Hi?

Pretty funny, pretty.

The morning corny.

Well, I did say one for but what is it?

Three for one?

Two?

It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter.

I'm forgetting stuff as I will age the little details. There's a story about Garth Brooks and how obsessive he is about living a simple life. Now we've got some stories in this room as well. I'll tell you I'm the biggest Garth Brooks fan ever. So is Eddie, so we all are. But the story goes that Garth Brooks has half a billion dollars, but friends say that he lives his life like he doesn't have two nickels drubbed together now at all?

If that's true?

Exactly, he avoids, According to Closer Weekly, he avoids the trappings of fame and fortune. He and his wife rarely go anywhere exotic, They eat a decent amount of fast food. They drive economy cars. Quote Garth borders. I'm obsessive when it comes to living a simple life.

Now.

A couple things. One, Raymundo was married on Garth's property. Raymundo is basically Garth's godson. Fair Yep, anything you'd like to say about this, I mean that all sounds true.

Yeah. I don't see Mercedes.

Benzes or really not even like hiding up there Bugatti's. It's his old trucks, tractors and crap. That's awesome, that's wild.

Except didn't you say Ray is like a basketball gym and his property the gym. Yeah, like a full basketball court, and.

We don't have that as normal people.

Yeah, but I would say that's like Kane Brown has a basketball court. Oh yeah, yeah, but I would say, like, I don't know, I can't hold that against him.

That's like you're a shit.

Not I was gonna say, that's something when you resell it, it's still there.

Like it's an investment.

Yeah, I don't know, you're okay, I'll agree. Having a full indoor basketball gym, I guess I don't think of that one to think of like luxury. I think it like brands Scuba Sea. If you ran into Garth at the grocery store I.

See about public so I won't say which one, but I see him there at least a couple of times.

Isn't this crazy scubacy is Garth Brooks And it's so mind blowing.

So I remember I was over in the produce area getting fruits or whatever, and I hear this deep voice and my son's like, bananas yellow and he's like, yeah, man, bananas are yellow. And I look over as some guy's talking. I'm like, oh my god, there's Garth Brooks talking to my freaking son right now. They're talking about banas and how they're yellow. And he gives me this like emotional speech about how time is so important and spend time with your children because it's a blink of an eye they can grow up.

No way.

Yeah.

And also I was like, I'm maybe this isn't Garth Brooks, maybe it's to look alike. And sure enough, he goes to another aisle and to hear some guys say, hey, Garth, how's trush doing.

I'm like, oh my god. He frequents this Publix.

And so then I go on the park a lot looking for a phantom or a Rolls Royce or something and I won't say what suv it is, but it's a very basic suv with a G on it.

Like very normal g it.

His G logo is on the.

That's pretty cool though, But it's such a normal car you wouldn't think it was him.

You think it'd be a fan of Garth.

Maybe it's because there are so many generically like that.

He puts a ged remember which one to get in? We had one before.

Darth Brooks gave your kid a life lesson at the grocery store and me.

About to take time and enjoy my children. I'm like, dang, that's really cool.

What the heck is happening?

And he goes to Publix to buy his own groceries. Sometimes I thank God, Well this story is accurate from everything that we know as well.

Garth Brooks is awesome.

And when we first moved here, I was like, eventually Garth Brooks is not going to be nice, and he's been super kind and nice and amazing every single time. Amy went to go pick up a bench that she got on Facebook marketplace and then drama happened.

So I don't know how this turns out.

So Amy's gonna give us a scenario, and we guess what happened when Amy, you bought a bench on Facebook Marketplace?

Yes, walk us to it.

Go.

I mean, this is the most amazing bench.

I have been looking at it on the actual website from the company and on Facebook. It's brand new, but it was half off okay, so I was like, okay, deal. So I make the arrangements and I say, I'm going to be there at eight thirty pm to pick it up because that song's gonna take me to meet up with one of my friends. She's got the truck, and then another friend was coming to like help carry it.

And I said I could be the right eight thirty with.

Facebook Marketplace because I've never used that. Do you pay there? Like, do you change money right then and there when you meeting?

You can do, yes, you can exchange cash, you can do venmo, you can do whatever it's up to you.

But most of the time you don't give the money until.

You've received it, so you don't pay ahead of time.

The products got it, you typically don't.

Pay, okay, So eight thirty pm sounds a little late.

It's a little late, right, go ahead. So I get a note that says, hey, we're thinking about going to the movie, so I might put it on the porch since it's that time, so it'll be out there. You can just grab it and then send the venmo. I'm like, okay, all.

Right, filling little suss already go ahead.

Right, But I'm like, okay, well, this is good to go.

So I'm just gonna like send the venmo.

This is we were in a nice neighborhood, Like where we were is a nice part of town.

Okay.

I had no reason to think anything was up. So we go, we pull up, there's no bench on the porch. I'm like, oh, I guess they didn't go to the movies. But there's no lights on. So then I go ring the doorbell.

Nothing and there's no bench on any porch on either side. No, there's no bank.

Well yeah, I mean from what we could see, it's just right where we were. It was dark. And so then my friend's like, well maybe you should like they just knock louder ring again and sometimes and it was a ring doorbell camp. So I'm like, they have us on video, just being like totally confused and ridiculous. And then finally this guy comes to the door and he's like uh, hey, you know, can I help y'all?

And he's in his pajamas.

I'm like, oh, we're here to pick up the bench from Facebook Marketplace and he said, what, I don't have a bench from Facebook Marketplace and.

So and you've paid no money.

No, we've we've paid the money, paid the money because I was like on my way and I was like, let's just go ahead, hit send, and I should have not hit send, but I thought.

I was doing.

Okay, So so.

Okay, hold the story, hold the story.

Okay, am.

He's looking for a bench that she bought on Facebook Marketplace. She paid for the bench ahead of time, and now she's back to the house and the guy's like, we don't have a bench here.

Go ahead.

Yeah. So then we were like, okay, we got scammed. And I'm like, y'all, I this is a total scam. Now the whole movie thing makes sense, and I just felt for it. And then he pauses and he yells back to his wife and he's like, honey, did you sell a chair on Facebook Marketplace? And then I had three options for what happened next, and y'all can choose.

It's like pick your ending.

The wife ran to the door with the bench and said, yes, yes, we're selling this here it is.

We decided not to go to the movie, so I forgot to.

Put it outside, and I also forgot to tell.

My husband that's a She came.

To the door and said, yeah, I have no idea what y'all are talking about. Someone must have been posing as me and used my address, Like, well, how do we handle this?

Should we call the police? Like this is really weird.

That's b C is.

Me and my friends.

We realized that we're at the.

Wrong house, and the people selling the bench for next door to this house.

It's just like outdros and moves up.

Okay, okay, okay, I think now.

I haven't I think now because it initially was gonna be she got scam, But now it's for sure you went to the wrong house. It's for sure. I bet how much have all of it? All my money, my walle you went to the wrong house.

Okay, so you're really putting really real money.

I'll put my money in it.

I'll put my money in se because there was too many details in the first two Yeah, we all are picking C.

You went to the wrong house, is it? C?

No?

Oh, my gosh, wow, good job. Good job, by the way, getting this in the story. Okay, so it's either you got scammed or they forgot to put them on the porch and they forgot to go to the movies.

There's no way they forgot to put it on the porch. There's too many details. There's too many communications of you saying this.

This.

This is them saying, oh, we're gonna go to the movies and then they're already in bed. No, it's weird.

You gotta go. I'm gonna go with a that where he's like, honeyed you forget? Like, well, who would forget all of that? I think it's gotta be a. I just don't think Amy's gonna get sammed on basically marketplace and bringing it to the show this quick. You guys are going scam dam I have faith and you Amy, So I'm gonna go A.

What is it, guys?

I have the bench in my house and it's beautiful.

It's a The wife came to the door and was like, oh, shoot, I didn't tell you that I sold this on Facebook marketplace. She's like, and we didn't end up going to the movies, so I forgot to put it out and then we were just getting in bed and yeah, so boom got the bench.

Good story job.

Yeah, why would they not put that on the pl even if they didn't go to the movie, didn't go you know, even if they don't go to the movie, still put it on the porch because it supposed to be on the porch.

I know, but I mean, I get it. And several hours have passed, and I'm the one that made it eight thirty.

Because I had to get the truck.

That's late.

But here's the thing. Don't sleep on Facebook marketplace, Like I checked that thing every day and you never know what's going to pop up. And again this bench, like I searched them. Well there it is. One day it's not there, next day it is. And I got a deal, like I could probably sell it, turn it around right now and sell it for a little marshall everybody.

No, not at all.

For the New.

Bobby's Story of Florida State University, studies found that adolescent boys who are hurt and just two physical fights suffer a loss in IQ. Some studies showed that this IQ loss is roughly equivalent to missing an entire year of school. Experts recommend settling a dispute with the counselor or an adult. The physical injury of getting hit, even in two fights, And it makes sense when you think about it and go, the brain is receiving trauma if getting punched. But yeah, even two fights now, if they're like seven, the hits don't.

Really hurt that bad.

But a little older adolescents like thirteen, Yeah, so thirteen fourteen when there starts to be strength. What's wild to me about fights is I have known a couple of people who have been in a fight where okay, they get punched, but then they fall and they hit their head. And one was just a friend of a friend who died because he hit his head on the ground. And you're just like, I'm again a fist and punched somebody and that punch turns into and then it's like you're being charged with a crime. Much by Herb and Austin. Why, like it was just a it wasn't even like a crazy fight. It was like two people been drinking a little bit, they get a fist fight. But he hit his head on the curb outside and he died. And that's why I don't fight. That's why, well I would get beat up every time too. Other than that, yes, but I think that's good to hear. The Journal of Adolescent Health is like two physical fights because you're getting punched.

Nobody here got punch punched as a kid.

No, I got a punch on the shoulder, lot I got come my head and toilet, but never.

I obviously not hit in the head because you definitely weren't held back mentally a year in your But.

What if I was, I'd be like I played football. But also I don't like to get hit there either.

I don't know him thinking about kids in sports and getting hit.

Geez, Louise.

So in football, So you ever see when in practice or early before the season they wear these things on top of their helmets, are like extra patting.

You ever see this Guardian caps? Are you familiar at all?

No?

I can show you.

I could tray like Arkansas. So it's the first time. So there was a player for the Colts, Jonathan Taylor's running back. He wore the Guardian cap on his helmet in a preseason game.

I love it. You can't get enough of it.

It looks like a cartoon because it's a little bigger, but it looks like the helmet and with all the ct I'll show during the break. I hope more players wear that. I would wear like the michelin Man costume out there. I just wouldn't be able to run very fast, but that would be fun. Pickleball has surprising power. I'm a big pickleball guy from the University of Miami. Pickleball is exploding a popularity across the country. And one of the reasons why it fills you with joy it does it is fun because the floor is pretty high, meaning you can get okay at it pretty quick.

Yeah.

I played last week and isn't it for so fun?

Yeah, but I think I'm going to be the chiropractor.

Yeah, few too many reaches. You really got a stretch for the ball, So yeah, I got a right, I have to stretch more.

A study found that because pickleball can be played by most people, regardless of skill or athletic ability, it allows you to be your true self with others. Yeah, you can get okay pickleball pretty quick. Now when you I've played like some of the really good people, it's different. They're amazing. But yeah, pickleball is a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun.

I just like to play, though, and I don't really care about keeping score.

It's just like you're about to get a fist fight right here.

It's just fun to like, you know, a rally or volley or and.

You're healthy like that where everything doesn't have to be a competition.

I think most people want to keep score, but I just want to hit the ball back and forth.

The top ten most well behaved dog breeds ten American Bulldogs, nine Yorkshire Terriers, Poodle, Boston Terrier, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever. Jake got Jaco and got a German Shepherds. Oh really, that's pretty cool. I'm a little jealous. Those a cool dog now four kne corso a ship to a three Rottweiler at two in a lab at one. And when they do worse behaved, I just throw it away. But you're this was bulldog. He always told we don't worry about the worst dog event. His English bulldog's right up there. Here's the thing. I know he can hear me sometimes, I know because he will mind. We have tricks. English bulldogs do not mind. But we have tricks, and I can do things with just my hands. He knows sign language and At times he will do every sign that I give him. If you may go one finger down, he'll come here, two finger down, he will go there. I can sing the p song. He knows to go pee and not.

So we have all these little tricks, right, pee yeah.

Pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee pee peep pee pee pee pee pee. He goes outside. Okay, okay, we I do bits with the dogs, you know. But there are just times where he won't even look up, like last night. Eddie and I went to Baltimore for a baseball card event, which we can't wait to talk about it, Dear God. So I came into the house last night because anybody that drives up he barks like crazy, like he's gonna save the house. I walked in, the door opened, I walked in the house. He never looked up. Big noise, big noise, big noise. I walked by where his food was to make sure Caitlyn fed him, and she had and I just touched the door very silently.

It's just looked up.

He was up, ready to see what was You didn't give a crap about somebody breaking in the house, cup of food, ready to go.

I think he knew it was you, though.

No, because the door was big and loud.

Oh it's weird my dog, you know.

I feel like they know they know it's us, because my dog will bark anybody that even gets closed to the door and comes in and when I come home.

Nothing. They must smell us from far away.

Or maybe they know the sound of your car. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I'm gonna tell you why that's not true. And I'll leave with this because I parked the hun day outside the garage and just came through the door. Oh okay, So anyway, Stanley, if you're listening, buddy, you're not because you don't listen to anything. An Illinois school worker gets nine years for one point five million dollar chicken wing heist.

Remember this lunch, she'd remember this.

Yeah, she was eating selling the chicken wings on the black market.

She's still eleven thousand chicken wings, sold them on the black market. It was a high of COVID and now she gets nine years in prison.

She was ordering all these wings and then never using them at the school.

Why would you buy chicken wings off the black market? Well, no, no, no, the grocery store hold on you're asking two different questions and answered. You're saying, Amy, why would she buy them? She's not buying them from the black market. She was selling them on the black market. Yeah, so she would order them normally, like through the schools.

I'm saying, she had access to all these wings that she could then sell.

Okay, So Eddie, then, to answer your question, I'm the buyer. You're the dumb one, Amy to this moment here, thank you. Yes, no, no, no, I'm the buyer. I know, why not just go to the grocery. White, cheaper, did you haven't you ever been in a black market?

It's cheaper.

That's funny, Eddie's spicy hot chickens all from.

The black market now you have.

But no, that seems a little extreme though nine years.

She stole a lot of chickens.

Well, it's not the the chicken, it's the one point five million dollar theft. And so I'm sure she won't do nine But yeah, I mean, if we go, like she's going to prison for ten years for chicken wings, but if.

You go somebody stole one point five million dollars for a bank robbery.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like, yeah, I know, it's just like they're going to be at the same prison, right, it seems.

A little crazy.

Yeah, she won't do nine years, especially if she does not have a but she also might have a record. True then like she might have had had done a corn dog heist back in the day.

You know.

Now it's chicken wings. That's the news there, it.

Is Bobby's stories.

I mean, I like to apologize. Your part was not dumb. It was just Eddie's was extra my mind while you were yeah, yeah, you're just extra. Do you're rusty?

You haven't been here in a couple of weeks.

Four American Airlines flight attendants were injured last week during turbulence. It got so bad.

Oh, this is this is torture.

Okay, see this is bad. Turbulence has becoming more of.

A problem the crew members on the fly. This is like Tampa to Charlotte. This is like normal, not even that far. No, not even like India. The floor flight attendants they were at boom, they hit that. You to the hospital. Luckily they told everybody to fasten their seat belts.

I don't like it.

I hate it, and I know they're like, you're safe, Okay, then why are they hurt?

That's a good point.

Were they still amy?

They're working trying to be good Americans? You know what you ask for a.

Couple of water?

That's right, you had to have your cup of water. That's from Fox News. I don't like it because sometimes it hits and people aren't even ready. I keep the seat belt on all the time. Do you have to go to the bathroom? That's when I worry about it, Like if you're sitting on the toilet and turnout sits and your head hits the top.

Here's another one, and again, this is America.

There are some phrases nobody ever wants to hear while they're on a plane. One of them is that the pilot is not qualified to land the plane. What oh yeah, this is weird.

Wait wait wait wait wait.

During in August eighth Alaska Airlines flight to passenger reported an announcement coming through the plane speaker system in which the pilot apologized because the flight had to be diverted to Salt Lake City because the pilot did not have proper qualification to land in Jackson Hole.

So so how did he get on the plane.

Well, we haven't qualifications to land elsewhere, but they know where they're going.

You gotta say, hey, dude, I think because they had to divert it. Yes, in the place they were diverting it to, he didn't have qualifications to land, which could have meant the runway wasn't I don't know, right, I hate flying.

But I'm saying he was planting.

The flight was supposed to go to Jackson Hole, and he was the main pilot flying them to Jackson Hole. And then when they're on their way, they realized, oh wait, this pilot can't land there, so they got to go somewhere else. How do you assign him to that flight?

Uh?

Huh?

They should rebund everybody's money.

It seems like that would be the case.

But it just can't be, Like logically, something had to happen where they were having to land.

Like I really thought when I saw that story that they were supposed to land somewhere else, and then it's like, oh, we're gonna have to divert here, but like, oh whoop, sorry, can't do that because not qualified to land, but also then to different.

You know, it sounds like me they were going on vacation to Jackson Hole and they had to be divergent.

The guy's like I'm not qualified to actually get up here.

Yeah, like, how did they get this same?

I was wondering how I got on the schedule.

I just booked a ticket to fly here. I am up in the cockpit regardless. Shouldn't the pilot know how to land anywhere? No?

Yes, it's not about knowing.

It's not about what you know, because you can know how to drive a car, but if you don't have a license.

It's like what you're qualified to.

Get once on the ground safely and you tall. The passengers were forced to wait on the tarmac for ninety minutes while I knew pilot came to finish the journey.

Nope, finish the journey.

So part of the Jackson Hole thing was there were severe weather issues and possibly the training requirements for landing at that place because.

Of the weather.

What you need to know how to land in every kind of weather if you're flying people around exactly, Yeah, and you should be it's so bad. Yeah, that's see, this is why we shouldn't fly. We should go back to trains. Off the trains all the time. Am me some of this article the length of your food orders, because this is somebody who said this.

It keeps you poor.

Oh yeah, it's like it popped up in my feet on Instagram and it caught my attention because sometimes I, you know, stare at the menu bord and I'm like, wait a.

Second, So what are they saying before we play the club? That if it takes you a long time to order.

That like when it comes to work or your career, like if you can't make decisions quickly, or you don't have self awareness because people are waiting behind you, stuff like that, then you're not going to be successful.

The lady in front of you takes four centuries to order a coffee and a muffin. What I realized very quickly is, you know, if you want to get something done, you give it to a busy person. That's why they say you should take somebody to dinner before you hire them, or see how quickly they make decisions, because people who take forever to order when they stand in line one are really comfortable inconvenience in somebody else, which means they have limited self awareness, maybe borderline narcissism. And then simultaneously they're not very efficient at the things that don't really matter. And so if we know we are here for a finite amount of time. Why spend so much time on that?

So I can give this a B plus, I can't give it a full A because I go to people, I take people to dinner or we go to dinner, and they take a long time and they're actually quite successful. But I will say that indecisiveness is really the enemy of accomplishment and success.

I think successful people in.

General will choose and be okay with it being wrong rather than not choose at all, because if you don't choose it all, you're in the exact same place. If you make a decision and it goes wrong, at least you have learned something from it, and you can start over with the knowledge that you did not have when you did nothing. So I think there's something to that. But to go may wait, wait, took Chick fil A and they took forty one minutes, Well, that person's not successful in life, but like six minutes, Yeah, that's a little over the time.

I feel like the narcisism part was a little stretch, like if they have add or they just really are indecisive that day, there's hormones happening.

I would say though, that if you are always the person who is late. Oh, I can't start getting more on this person's side. I feel it though, in me that if you're always the person who has this problem, you can look ahead. I look ahead at almost every menu that I if I'm going to a restaurant, same because I don't want to hold anybody up and I want to eat. Also when I go. You guys have been to dinner with me. There are two things I like to do when we sit down. Would you like drinks? Yes we would, And we're gonna go into order too.

Please and chile at it.

Yeah, in the check. And it's not because I don't want.

I don't.

It's not because I don't like you guys, but I like to When I get there, I want to eat.

It's a little too efficient.

And then when it's over, I don't I like my last chew to be swallow out the door. So yeah, it's a little weird and you're successful. Well, you've gone to dinner with our CEO. How does see you order like faster? You take a long time?

Good point.

I will say that folks that are busy often have things to do pre and post whatever they're doing now. So if we're going to like a work lunch or a work dinner.

Dinner's a little.

Different because on the backside there's a little more free time. It's we're in at this point, we're out at that point. I treat it the same way. It is a borderline unhealthy at times, but I can see the narcisism thing where you're like if if you're in line, it's like I don't know, or if you're in your car just looking over the menu forever, there is a you do get some grace period look over, especially if you haven't been. But again, if you're going to check FLA you've been one hundred thousand times, or you're going to Sonic and you know what you're gonna get and you end up getting the same thing every single time, there's no need to continue to look at the menu.

Well, if you are having one of those days we're indecisive, you can be self aware and say, hey, why don't you go ahead and go ahead of me and let the person cut.

That way, you can take the time you're holding people up.

I don't think you taking a little longer at the drive through keeps your poor I think generally, if you're an indecisive person, that probably holds you back in areas. I think that is probably the best way to describe it, because and I wrote a whole book called fail until you don't, which is just get in, because as long as you get in, it's better to make the wrong decision then make no decision at all, because at least you've learned something. And also, don't spend a whole much time at Chick fil although they do sometimes like what do you want?

I don't know, there's not a menu.

When they do that, sometimes they come up with the thing and it's like I already know what I want, but I mean, I eave me fifteen seconds.

I'll get at a menu. But they come up with the pad and they're like, all right, sorry, what would you like here? And I'm like I would I literally just pulled it into the parking lot.

That's a little tough, yeah, Chick fil A definitely, Like I wonder how that meeting Went's like, we don't even need menus anymore. Like, let's just go ahead and get rid of that. People know what they.

Want and let's do two lanes.

Because they did the double lane.

Now it's efficient. It takes forever.

You can't hardly get in any Chick fil at lunch now because especially if it's a bad spot where it's like pulling in out of traffic because you're holding all the traffic up and there's two lanes. But they managed that think pretty good where it ends up weaving in at the end and they know exactly who you are. It's pretty cool, but they have a point. But they're a little crazy, and I'm okay with it. Thank you by this invite to go to this like secret baseball card club baseball card society thing.

Last night, Eddie and I flew to Baltimore after the show.

And I was very excited. I'll get excited about much. And as I'm going up to it, there's an email that's like, you have to dress. We knew you had to dress nice because it's like a formal dinner and we knew there could be and Lunchbox had guess cal Ripken and I was like yeah, and I was like, I don't know. I don't think it's gonna be cal Ripken. I think it'll be bigger. So I'd like to acknowledge something about that a second. And so we go and I get the email and it's like you have to wear. It's called smart business casual. No tennis shoes. Well, Eddie and I have button ups on, but we have tennis shoes on, and so we're debating on my Instagram. There's a Marshalls eight minutes away where like, wh we need to buy dress shoes? When did walk on the Marshals and my shoes and we're like, screw it, We're just gonna go on our tennis shoes and if they kick us out, they kick us out.

I was so excited.

I was very excited. I didn't know what was gonna happen.

Maybe cal rip cal Ripken. I thought I'm a lower end, even though he's a great I thought that would be too down the middle. Calory can play for the Baltimore Orioles. And we were in Baltimore. The event was at the Baltimore Oriole Baseball Park, So it makes sense, right, yes, but I was like, surely to be Babe Ruth or something, even though he's dead. All right, yeah, baby Bruce, Jackie Robinson, somebody awesome. And we sawl we saw a helicopter coming in. Oh yeah, that's when we got pumped because we're like where they dropping off? Turned out. It was like an ambulance starff. Somebody hurt. Yeah, so we walked to the ballpark from the hotel because we landed, we had they provided us hotel rooms, not for free, because it was a tough.

Ticket to get.

Well, that's going to say like you got invited or you got you got the opportunity to buy a ticket.

A bit of both.

I got invited and I found a ticket for Eddie because I did not want to go buy myself.

Yeah, and there wasn't a plus one, right, so you had no plus ones. We get there.

And I posted pictures of people that were around us. I'm a nerd for a lot of things. I love sports cards, baseball cards, and so we get there. I still pretty strong about us being the coolest guys there. I never feel that way.

Yeah. So yesterday I was concerned that, you know, you were going into some like you know, rich person, weird thing.

Oh no, no, the rich person know, no, no no.

But I was teaching you, being like it's like the secret society where they're all like yes. And then I saw you post the picture and I was like, I'm not worried. You're not a y'all are safe you're not gonna be taking advantage.

Of or tied up.

You're good good.

Did you feel like when you walked in you were like, Oh my goodness, this is like Star Wars meets Comic Con meets like rec league softball guy meets like people that just came out of their parents' basement for the first time.

This I mean, I am also a nerd, so it's hard.

Like I saw I saw the videos, I was like, oh my goodness, you guys are dorn like doors of doork well.

It was really cool because we were like talking to card shop owners, people who break on like TikTok, so we get there. I was so excited. It is kind of lame cal Ripken did not show up. Was so I will say that if you're a diehard fan, you probably thought it was kind of cool. But it was two young players but both awesome. Adley Rushman, who's a catcher, Gunner Henderson, who was a rookie last year is like number two and MVP race. But the I just thought it was gonna be somebody like a Jeter or even to lunchbarks, and I'd like to apologize, like it's gonna be bigger than cal rip can it wasn't. And those guys that showed up and so they sat up in two seats with some guy in a polo, and he asked him questions and they did a little interview and then they were like, would you guys like to ask questions? And so and they they fed us. First of all, we got in this room and it's like a mingle and it's all like a aged man and polos.

How many chicks I didn't say. I said I didn't see one.

There were like four, but they all worked there. They were like working for the place. It really was not, but that's okay. We didn't care about it.

What did you guys talk about? Like these cards cards?

One guy that has a place in Knoxville, like I'm doing a charity like breaking like a ripping card ripping thing with vanduilt Children's Hospital. We talked about that, like I'm trying to turn my hobby into something that also gives it back. And so it was sweaty. There's no air condition is brutal for a while, and then in the hair for like forty five minutes. If there's no air condition in this room we were in with like eighty other dudes. So we're like, oh my god, what do we get ourselves into? So we go into this big room and we're sitting at a table. We kind of made friends. I like the guys we were, we made friends, the cool guys.

Cool. Yes, there screen names, no.

But I do.

I do ano there breaking their breaking name though, because they do break cards. Yeah, you guys would.

Chat what's the venue because like I'm picturing you in.

The yards, which is the baseball baseball but it's like a little gathering room where you have dinner. So it wasn't even baseball le So we're up and so the two guys are sitting up in two chairs of this guy interviewing them, and he's like, what was it like as a minor league? They started going around the room and so like there were a couple of kids in there, and they could ask a perfect kid question, Hi, what was your favorite hit?

As a little eager, great answer, and they'd go to some guy.

Who was like, hey, you ever meet Rod Carew. It was like a player from the seventies, And Eddie's like, you have to ask a question. I'm like, well, I don't want to ask a question.

Why am I can ask him, You're gonna ask me, Hey, what do you think about nerds getting together?

And you guys had to sit up here and talk to us. Well, that would have been a question, because I did feel like a nerd. I was part of that group. I did feel like that was I felt like Eddie was a little out of place because Eddie is not as nerdy as I am about this. I'm not a collector, like yeah, yeah, yeah, but Eddie goes because both of them were in the All Star Game this year, he goes.

I asked him if they knew who won the Celebrity All Star MVP.

That was like, it's perfect.

You played against them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, No, they played in the real All Star Game.

Gay, yeah, I played in the celebrity game.

They have no idea what that is.

It was Honestly, I.

Thought the Celebrity Alcar Game was celebrities playing.

It was tell your friends that that w MVP.

No, they played the real wind, which was like Monday, we played the Saturday Night Celebrity and so I'm like, but we were so bored, and because they were it's just questions and the food, it's.

Fine, and so, but we flew all it was just as a mess.

Yeah. Look, if it was down the street and we went, it would have been fun. The expectations were Lou Garrig was going to be there, that there was gonna be a c The players are really good young players, guys.

We flew all the way to ball, flew all the way to Faimore.

They could they grow to be like.

But we don't.

We're not investing.

When said legends, it's like it's like get the play. You know, a cover band walks in all They could be good one day.

You know what I mean, come on, you want the Beatles.

So we go.

No, but they're ballers. They're both right now. They're awesome players right now.

But I wouldn't say they're big names for someone who's not a massive baseball fan.

So we go and.

I'm like, I'm asking a question.

Fine, I'm just.

Gonna ask it because I was like, we'll record it for the show. At least I can get a bit for the show. And I was gonna be like, hello, fellow all star here.

I'm just wondering if my tape from the Celebrity Game was able to get to you guys and motivate you for the real game, like I was gonna be and nobody was gonna get the joke, but it was just gonna be. It's gonna fall awkward silence and to us. So we're gonna have some audio to bring in today because we're getting bored. They never came to me. I was the only one they never came to for a question.

Amy they went to there were two people walking on the microphone.

I'll be like hello over.

Here, and then we just keep dodging me.

I never gonna ask a question.

Oh, do you think that they were purposely ignoring you?

They're like, oh, maybe let's not go to the least here.

I mean no, I'm pretty nerdy too, so and then they were like, okay, you guys will take pictures. We'll call you by tables and you can go take a picture with you.

Don't get individuals.

Well, also, I think.

In there, we don't know.

We don't know because we left.

We left because it was gonna be a thirty minute wait to get a picture, and we were like, we just want to go home.

So we just got We just flew back home.

And weren't they shocked when you told them we were leaving? Oh, they were like well you're not staying. I'm like, no, no, we're good. We really appreciate it.

Did you get a party favor?

They gave us some cards in a bag with some baseball cards and.

It was neat. Wait were those cookies on your fight?

Did you get? I hate to COOKI immediately because I was starving. They made us wait in a sweaty room forever. And as soon as I sat down and ate all the cookies at the table before dinner, yes, I was like, I just I need to eat a cookie. It's mister Bobby Bones.

Like how how was the like socially awkwardness of the other guys? Like was it like socially awkward?

Like it?

Because that's how I feel every room I'm in And I could tell all of us were kind of like I think healthy. Eddie was the healthiest conversationalist in the whole place. I am awkward around other people, and I think I was part of that group.

I think that it was. I don't know, it just wasn't good. It wasn't good.

So Amy yesterday when we made to them and how nerdy it was going to be, we were We nailed it, you know, we were one right the nerdiness. I don't have a problem with because I am a nerd for certain things. I just thought there'd be air conditioning, cal Ripken at least.

At least and like I get to ask a question, I want anything.

We flew all. It was a disaster. So anyway, I'm done, except I'm going to fanatics Fest this weekend in New York. Yeah, which they were all going to everybody. There's like stop everybody, Oh my gosh.

Sod.

New York. A lot of people were like if they came from like the eastern part of America, they drove up through Baltimore and they were like, you guys going to fanatics Fest in New York, and uh, We're like, yeah, I'll see you there because we have a stage.

To be fair, I love it so much. We have a stage at this place, and we have like what does that mean?

Forty athletes are coming back to the podcast, very famous people, and so we have interviews booked with Cam Newton, Gronk, Rudy Rudy, Rudy the actor, No No, No.

Plexico Burus.

We have Andre Dawson, Ozzie Smith, Vinnie Testa, Verdi, Ce Sabbatia like all these people are coming to our stage to do our show, but it was we'll see there. We were like inviting them to can hang out with this, oh yeah, because they weren't. We liked everybody there, but I was just like, this is so underwhelming. We made friends, Yeah, pretty, that part was cool. The people. We didn't get kicked out for our shoes, but there was no ac I didn't get to ask a question and wasn't there.

Yeah, so that's all. I'm just glad you made it back home, and one for me too.

I just get where you left and where just wanted to get home. Yeah, I just wanted to get home. So that was our Baseball Card night experience.

So how long did you spend with these people?

Four hours?

Yeah, it was a long it's a good time you say that long.

Well, so first of all, we wait to wait outside in the heat for like thirty minutes as they just then and gave us our bracelet and the hand us people ever said beef on it. That's all we're eating beef. They don't want to mix this up. They want to mix this up. Yeah, there was crofit, there was a crab, crab, there was beef. So they were like Okay, which one are you beef? I'm beef. We had to carry a sign that's a beef. I had to walk around with bees at beef for like an hour.

Man.

Thanks, And last night we were home and and.

Edie was like, thanks for inviting me, but a little bit I knew he was like, why did you invite me? It was like a mix of both, right, but also like you look back and laugh, yes, William and we're laughing there.

Yeah, And we'll see a fanatic spect this week. So that's what's up.

We had.

We had a time. We had a time we went to Balm. I really thought that they were going to bring out somebody big and they were going to be big in the future. But for that I thought they were going to have somebody like I don't know that we said Jeter a Rod Maybe.

There was and there like do they have to pay those people to come by?

I'm sure tops or fanatics did a little something for them.

Yeah. Anyway, So that's our experience, and I still love every people were great. It was just a couple of those elements. So that was our experience. Thank you all for listening. So this is one of those does it sound like it would taste good. Amy has told me about a cheddar cheese on apple pie concoction. Is it a full pie?

Yes?

Picture an apple pie warm with a slice of melted, sharp white cheddar cheese.

Where did you see this?

Not had it?

It was like a crazy TikTok thing.

No got it?

No, guys, I'll eat an apple like out of the fridge, like, I'll slice it up and put a little cheddar cheese with it. I feel like that pretty.

Yes, I get Starbucks that gets a little thing with apples and cheese and boiled eggs. That makes sense, right, But.

I don't know melted cheese on top of an apple pie. Never had that concoction, but it's it's the same. It's like this perfect little combo together, at least for me. Like, I thought it was so good, so definitely try it out. But some people might think it's weird.

How'd you stumble into eating that?

Oh?

You know?

It was invited to a dinner. That's how they served it.

Dang fancy dinner.

I wouldn't call it fancy at all.

They made it apple pie and milk, like oh God, like how their family has always done it.

And I was like, no, it's amazing.

I don't think I like the sound of it initially, but when you explain the apples and cheese already, then I bet it.

It's good.

Yeah. Another thing is, wait, are you hurt? Do you have do you have fle fractures? Do you have complex fractures in your body? Is it you talking about it? Oh?

No, that's math.

Oh I totally thought Amy had fractures in her body.

Actions.

You read that well, she wrote fractures. No.

No, So I thought words are hard to math is hard. Words are hard, Complex fractions are hard.

Actions. I thought you had like complex fractures, and I didn't know for me to bring it on the show.

Okay, so you're healthy, you're off, You're fine.

Yeah, my body's fine, but my brain is not. When it comes to complex fractions.

Is this one of those new math things.

It's seventh grade math, to be exact, And I'm not here for it at all, Like it's it's and I don't understand it. And I as a mom, I know teachers don't want us to say to our kids like you're never going to use this, you know, Uh, so you're not You're not true, But I'm not saying that so I'm being clear, it's just in my head and I am trying to help my son figure it out, and I am googling and I'm going to like, I'm literally typing in the entire problem into Google, like the exact like Sally was driving ten miles an hour with one in three fourth stink of gas or whatever.

I don't know.

It's good and then and then and then the problems show up like people other people have typed it in.

I'm like, oh, like, can you not do what you used to do?

Or you find a common denominator and then build back or is this something.

That is what you have to do.

But it's like this process. Yes, I just have to check my work.

So is this not new math? This is just old math. They also used to be bad.

As they do it. I have math has not ever been strong same for me at all. I believe when we had the woman come in and Miss Kelly helped us with our dyslexia, like she also said I have dyscalcula which numbers are very difficult, and so I just want to you have to show your work and check your work. And I'm stressing out because my son wants to get it right, And I'm also trying to teach him and it's only the second week of school, and I'm like, like, I need a tutor.

I think where I was confused to us we had recently talked about new math in the ways that kids are learning now that's different than how we used to learn. And I thought that compound fractures, which is now fractions, was a new way they were teaching fractions. But I guess you did not do well with fractions to begin with, right, But now I.

Know, Yeah, you multiplied the ones on the bottom and then find the one on the top and then bring it up.

And then I could have worked with you on that.

Hey, is that your son?

Yes?

Question about do you want to tutor him? No question about your son? Can I just give him that PlayStation five as a birthday present? Now?

Stop?

Wait? Did he not get that New York?

Oh?

Yeah, I give it to him.

I knew you were going to be irresponsible with this is not how is how are we learning anything from this?

Okay, that's fine, that's not I'll still put him to work, but I haven't been as available at home to give him work to do. And he just had a fourteenth birthday, and I was like, okay, fine, well, I mean, let's statements. Sorry, I try to give to you for freebody.

If that's what you want to do. No, No, that's okay. No, you just said I was a responsible birthday present.

No, what do you want me to do?

Because I'm happy just to go happy birthday. If you still want me to.

Put him to work, I will.

Okay, I can make a deal with you right now.

Go ahead.

I'm just gonna say, happy birthday, but you need to work off some things for your mom.

I don't want to be involved in that birthday. Yeah, I don't want to be involved in what I don't know, and my mom's gonna hold that against them forever, for like eleven things, and he's gonn to hold me accountable. If you like, give me here's the I'm happy to negotiate with you. If you give me like one thing you need him to do, or like two things you need him to do with a time limit on it, I can say, hey, but I don't feel like it's fair to him to go, hey, listen to your mom for three more years and then more even.

Okay, it doesn't have to be that extreme, but okay, all right, I'll think.

About it, and I can still put him to work.

I'm just not have him been home enough, and I want him to take a machete to the backyard and create a trail. But he's fourteen now, and for the when you're fourteen, you should get your first machete.

Okay, but that seems like more of a life skill that he needs learning how to use a machete versus compound or complex or whatever these fractions are.

He needs a quit school, then machetechet.

We do like, why where does this come in handy?

I don't know that the actual process of fractions comes in handy. But havn't two problems to develop problem solving? I can you that because I'm.

A real life problem like mortgage, health insurance.

You know I felt that stuff like real things like I just.

You just what you could gift him a tutor for his birthday? A math tutor, that's what you could get him.

Can you have a mass like socks? Socks a Christmas underwear like you need him? But it's like, what the crap you? This isn't a gift. Or I could gift him a PS five and make him work for a tutor m.

We had to FaceTime another mom.

Embarrassing that.

I bet you. I bet either. The mom has many other ways that she has to do the same thing for other people with other people. I don't think there should be any shame in that. Thanks slight embarrassment, but no shame, because I'm sure that mom has to use resources in a similar way for different things.

Yeah, we all do.

There's a new Bobby Cast, and this one's interesting and different. We did a roundtable episode with Drew Baldridge, who has She's Somebody's daughter songs probably about to be a number one Eddie myself, and Chris Owen, who's working radio but now it works for a publishing company, who's like a savant when it comes to like music and charts, like it's all in his head like rain Man. So this is Chris Owen talking about just randomly the Rascal Flat song Life is a Highway and how that was never actually a single.

Here you go.

The Cards movie came out and their versin's really good and stations just started playing it. Lyrics Street their label put My Wit out the radio after Me and My Game as the official single, and radio is like we don't care if we're still going to play this one, we will also play that one, but we're still going to play Live as a highway. You ask any average fan, they think.

Live is a highway.

Oh, their biggest hit, and it is their biggest hit, but it never even got top ten.

So it wasn't a top ten song, was never put out of the radio single. And he's like, you'll never believe this, nineteen eighty four pity, but did it. We're just like in awe. He's so smart. Baldridge talks about stations being hesitant to play his song She's Somebody's Daughter because it's a ballad. Now it's the top three song, and he's the one that had to create his own record label just to get anybody to pay attention.

To it, because this was always a big thing for us, which She's Somebody's Daughter, Like, well, it's a ballad, and we don't play ballads. I had some people tell me straight up, we don't play ballads on our station. And then I was sitting with a radio guy one time and he said, hey, man, I got the fifty best songs of all time written down on my phone. I was like it really, He's like, yeah, check him out and he pull up the songs, jumped to me.

I started reading him down.

I was like, dude, you know what's crazy? He said, well, I said all those are ballads. He was like, oh my gosh, you're right. And I was like, without ballads, what is country music?

Amen?

Brother? So we just kind of had a roundtable talking about music, but this was not music at all. And aside from music, Eddie was blown away at a fact about Buffalo wings.

You're telling me wings are from Buffalo, Like, that's why they're called Buffalo wings.

Yeah, they're the Buffalo's. I mean there's a there's a like og spot there. Yeah. Mind blown.

I did not know that the actual sauce and everything. Wow, you know Butters and Frank's red.

Hot Buffalo wings are from Buffalo, New York. Did you guys know that? Yes, no, Buffalo never thought about it.

So like chicken wings called but if you use a Buffalo sauce, it's the sauce.

It's from Buffalo.

Yeah, Buffalo sauce. I search for that. Bobby cast a lot of music talking there, but also that Buffalo in search for that. Wherever you listen to your podcast are on I Radio, Bobby Bone Show.

Today.

This story comes us from Savannah, Georgia. A thirty four year old man was working at McDonald's training to be a manager. When man the McDonald's was way too crowded, too busy. I gotta get some of these people to leave. So he got some cardboard, went outside of the dumpster, lit the cardboard on fire, threw it in the dumpster, and boom.

I saw the story. I didn't know that's why they did that, Yeah, to get people to leave because it was too busy.

Yeah, I was just too busy with people, and he was like, man, I need some people out of here. So he lit the fire. And now he's going to be in prison for five years.

Wait, I feel like that's a bit drastic.

I agree.

I think that's a little too much time.

Unless he has like eighty four offenses ahead of time.

Yeah, I doesn't say that.

But he has to pay money back for all the damage he caused and he has to serve five years.

Improved that.

It's a weird decision and five surely he won't serve five years.

Like the judge's gotta be like, we're going to give you like ninety days and you scrub all the toilets a McDonald's all through the county.

Yeah, but he was in manager training. So he went from almost manager to prison.

Like the reverse, right, like a good story. He's in prison and now he's a manager. It's the opposite.

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

Morgan thinks the Lunchbox gave her a rash. Now, normally I would go, okay, this is somebody looking for a bit here we go. Morgan is really not a bit hunter, meaning there's some people on the show that will look for anything as content just to get on the air. Morgan is not a bit hunter. Not And also Lunchbox is known for bringing an illness after illness into the studio. Huh, so Morgan, what's up?

Well, so he came in and he was like, I have all these rashes all over me. And then shortly after and he was like I also have one. And I was like, oh gosh, do I have turns out I do one on my face And I've never had a rash like this ever in my life. I've I've been totally fine. And I even reached out to a doctor and they're like, it comes from like touching other people or whatever.

I'm like, are you for real? Have you touched him.

Handle?

Uh? Door handles?

Yeah, it's like on the bacteria. And they're like, that's typically how this breads.

It's just it. It can be easily fixed.

But it came from touching a specific bacteria.

And I was like, the only other person I've been around that's how to rash is Lunchbox.

He always has something a cough, a rash, a disease, pink eye. Those kids are sick too, a lot for sure, and it's like he takes it and brings it right in special delivery. Tuberculous faultculosis happened where he gave it to the Yeah, any anything you'd like to say.

I'd like to say that it's been like a month since I had a rash. So Morgan's rolling around in the bed with some guy I don't.

What's his name.

Did you ever go to the doctor for your rash?

Yeah, you went to the doctor.

We had a doctor call in's.

Let's catch a men lie here, let's catch a manly.

That's where I got confused. Maybe I just heard the doctor call in.

I was like, oh see, I'm good that counts as going to the doctor, and that doctor.

Told you to go to the doctor because you likely had shingles.

You always have something.

I mean with kids, they bring a lot of germs, they are germ factories. That's part of the life.

But I would say the fact that you don't really shower regularly, that's for sure, and your hygiene is not what I would say average, probably a little below average.

Probably.

I think that anything that has developed that is contagious stays on you, and you bring it in more than what a.

Normal parent would have. Maybe what I do is very agreeable about it all. I mean, yeah, I also look at it as building up your immunity. If you keep washing everything off, your immune system has to be so weak.

But the rest of the show members, because you and Eddie and Morgan sit at one table altogether, they don't really deserve that because you've decided you're going to use that as an excuse for not showering.

Yeah, that's true, that's true.

Another one agrees, But I'm just saying I had a lot of great points here.

But I mean me giving Morgan a rash on her face, I mean, she was never rubbing up on my body.

My rash has been gone.

It could have been a door handle touch and then a face touch, and it could have taken a week. It doesn't matter. Morgan, I'm sorry. Did you go to the doctor.

Yeah, and thankfully it's going away.

But you know, I've never had a rash in my life, and lunchbox comes in my life.

And here we are.

I was wondering, what's wronging your face?

I'm not opposed to bubbling him in the new studio. Yes, what building a bubble around him? I mean like always were when he's sick. No, always, oh good, Like we just build a bubble around him, bubble boy, because this has been something for months and months. He comes in. You know sometimes you'll see like a live band and there's like a plastic thing around the drummer. Yeah, it's basically that we bubble them.

Right, the drums.

It's for sound, the.

Right and yeah, this would be for illness. Yeah yeah, Morgan, Sorry, it's okay, goodbye everybody. The Bobby Bone Show Bobbin Boones the Bobby Bones theme song written produce saying by re Yardberry.
