Find out why Bobby's not having a good start to his day and where someone left him a bad review. Plus, what is your level of spice for foods? And we answer 'Would You Rather' questions and more!
Wake up, Wake up in the mall, and.
It's on the radio, and the dogs.
Ready in lunchbox.
Mor get too, Steve Bread and it's trying to put you through Fuck.
He's running this week's next bit.
The Bobby's on the box.
So you know what this.
The Bobby Ball School.
This whole story comes. It's about kids and iPads and screens. So I'm gonna tell you it's from a research journal called Frontiers and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. So all those words some big So a lot of parents will give their kids an iPad or their phone in order to be like, hey, just chill out for a little bit.
Does that happened with you guys? Yes, no, you don't do that all.
They don't have iPads and they don't get to the phone.
This guy's full pilgrim. Yeah. Crazy.
So if kids are acting up, many parents handover smartphones or tablets. Now they're saying, and they're calling it digital pass fire danger. Parents who frequently use digital devices to calm their kids saw negative effects on their kids. Children whose parents often relied on digital pacifiers showed more difficulty managing anger and had lower levels.
Of emotional control the kids.
It's best to give them a physical toy, a comfort blanket or a hug. Okay, Eddie, I know, use tablets. I feel like it'd be one big tablet in my house. I turned the walls out their tablet. Yeah, when we have kids, eventually we're gonna have a wall that's a tablet.
They just go up to it and entertain themself.
It's the easiest thing in the world because when they're acting up, they're usually just bored. We're in the car like, ah, they're messing with each other. Just get on your tablets and it's piece, instant piece.
How do you feel about this saying one difficulty managing anger?
You see it?
Yes, I don't really understand what that means, but I guess. But if I give them a toy, bones, or a blanket or a hug, they're just gonna be like, where's the tablet?
Hey, do you give me the tablet? What are you doing?
Lunchbox? No tablets, No, I never bought them. They've never had at them. Like even when we road trip to Texas, twelve hours in the car at what do they do?
Color book?
The time?
The eighties tablets a coloring book? We give them books. We tell them to take a nap.
Well, you tell them, Oh that's interesting.
Hey, so that sounds actually very very very healthy.
Why have you never given them a tablet?
Is it because you have these great parenting dreams or because you just don't want to buy a tablet.
I didn't want to buy a tablet because I think people would have been like, wow, that is very it's a very mature parenting style.
Difficult.
Yeah, and then I have three kids, so you got to buy three tablets? Sorry?
Correct?
Gone, Sorry, Yeah, I get no three tablets. That's ridiculous until they can buy themselves, are what. Yeah, I rode in the car as a kid. I didn't have a tablet, so I didn't have a TV. They don't need one.
You don't really buy new tablets, you know, So you buy like the oldest one, and then you hand them down so when like my youngest has the one that's all shared up like broken glass.
So that works out. So what if I gave your kids three tablets? Would you be against it?
Yeah?
Because I don't want them to become reliable.
Now that we are at a stage where they're old enough that they don't know what they are, don't need to go down that road.
I felt that I think this guy's up to no good.
They wandered his phone password like his girl did, and in staid he just jumped in the ocean instead of giving it to her, like something on his phone that he doesn't want her to have or see obviously, So I mean, if your partner would rather dive in the ocean than share their password, there's probably something there. One guy was on a boat trip with his girlfriend of Florida. Two officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission approached their boat. He started to feel trapped and then just jumped in the water. So they were like, hey, we need your ID. He didn't have the ID, or he said he didn't. The situation escalated a bit, so he had his phone. He jumps in the water. The phone is still on the boat and she's like, hey, let me get your code to your phone.
There could be a picture of your ID.
And he's like I'm not giving I'm not giving in to that, and he's just treading water. Wanted nothing to do it, wouldn't get back in the boat. He splashed around for several minutes, ignoring the officers. The situation into when the officers got out of their boat, handcuffed him and walked them to shore.
Was he even wasteep water? I guess they weren't that far out, hey, jont where you could touch?
Yeah, that dude is probably up to no good if I were guessing.
I had a rough night last night. I slept like four hours in bed.
My sleep number bed tells me how much did I sleep, And my sleep number was not good last night. It was like usually I've been doing a little better. It's like in the forties last night, which is very bad. I slept like three and a half hours. My eBay got a negative review. Lunchbox. You know how I'm pouring at that room is the first one I've fout one hundred percent a hundreds of sales.
I have no idea what did they say or do they just do stars?
They did the stars where I'm now In ninety nine point seven, I had a perfect eBay. Everything I've been doing any I make sure they get out in time, they're in good shape.
I think somebody was trying to.
Scan me and so they bought like a card, they paid for it, and they requested a refund immediately, And I'm like, if I'm not falling for this. Why would you pay? Because you can ask, hey, sorry, the bid was can you retract my bid?
No problem? Did it all the time.
They bid and bought, then they paid for it, and immediately they were like, oh I need a refund on that.
Oh it's a scam.
That's a scam. And that's the person who gave me a low review. Oh yeah, less star.
I would contact eBay.
You can do that.
Yeah, be like, I want to dispute.
Can you give a bad review or a bad review for reviewing badly?
I think so, I think you can send the thing.
I want to dispute this bad review saying, hey, they bid, they paid, and then they wanted a refund.
I felt like it was a scam.
I still send them their item and they gave me a negative review.
So I didn't want to get scammed.
At a one hundred percent perfect record. That's why I had to dream about playing the lottery and he hit a million bucks.
Oh that's what I'm talking about. Do you dream of the lottery?
No?
Never, never, as much as you obsessed about it and talk about it.
I dream about Vegas and the Roulette wheel.
What's the dream is that one that happens the same one happened a lot.
No, it's just I'm at the Roulette Wheel and I'm hot and I'm supposed to be at work in like an hour.
And but that's recurring dream, the same dream.
Ish, yeah, or like I'm in Vegas, I keep I stay late and then I missed my plane because I was so hot and I'm supposed to be at the you know whatever, And it's so weird. I dream about Vegas probably at least once a week.
Oh that's a lot. Yeah.
This guy in Massachusetts said a dream about buying a specific scratch off lottery ticket led him to winning one million dollars. Kendall Junior told Massachusetts state lottery officials he had a dream about buying a ten dollar four million dollar diamonds scratch off ticket. So it cost ten dollars to buy, and it's called the four million dollar diamonds because that's how much money they have.
Do you can win?
Oh, so he woke up. He must have seen it in the store, had to have. You don't just that that lottery ticket on a country psychically, if you've never seen it. Still, he did dream it, and he went hit it and then he hit it for a million bucks.
Yeah. I don't have any dreams like that.
I have a dream that I didn't finish, like my final and French class. Oh, I do that a lot, and then I'm not going to graduate. Like that's my recurring dream. That and I jump float a lot, do I. It's not flying, but I jump float place to place so I can be like we jump and then like go jumped five hundred feet and just.
Like jump float not fly.
That is weird.
I can't stay up.
But the not graduating one, Oh, that happens all the time.
I mean, I didn't know that's your real life.
No, no, I know that happened to you in real life.
I know.
But I mean I even do it like high school. Like it's like you're you're, oh, you forgot to take your you know, economics final and you're not graduating high school and it's like you're freaking out, and uh, such a weird dream.
Why do you think you had that?
I don't know, because I asked my wife, I'm like, do you ever dream like that?
No?
Never, I never dream about not graduating.
Yeah, I do that with college. I don't do it high school. Let's talk to Michael in Texas. Who's on the phone. Hey Michael, Michael, Michael, we appreciate you. What's going on, buddy, what's going on here studio? What's that buddy?
Hey?
I was gonna see you about possibly y'all, I do it a bit on the one chip challenge. I mean, I know y'all are talking about it hospitalized something or whatever, but me and my brother in law actually did the one chip challenge and we both have about the tolerance of Eddie about it seven or eight, and I think that would be a great challenge for Eddie. The worst part for us was the taste of the chip.
We've done it, Yeah, we've done it, and we've done the one shot.
Amy did the one shot challenge. I thought she was gonna die. I was scared when Amy took the shot and started screaming. I don't remember what she was screaming, but it sounded like she was done, Like the devil was coming out of her body.
She was saying, help me, that's what. It was the scariest thing you could possibly yell, She's.
Going hell man.
Because we spun the wheel, yeah, and we all just looked at it on it. We did not know how to help her.
I didn't have anything. She was closest to me, but I hold you up.
Yeah.
So we've done a lot of those, but I'm out on the chip.
We've also realized it's not worth it. That ship is not fun.
Yeah, it's not worth it. But good for you guys. I would never do it, Like I said, if I have even hot food that's not even spicy, just hot, I'm like, ah, it's spicy.
I don't like spicy at all. Yeah, like hot, tomal who that's not.
Hot to mean?
The candy that's still pretty hot to me, though, that's still pretty hot to me. Let's do the news. Disney parks are ghost towns right now? Because so hot? Oh yeah.
I was talking to a friend and he was flying from Las Vegas and he said that their flight was late three hours because of heat. Like it got so hot, That's what I said. It got so hot on the tarmac. You know, my friend was Des Bryant played for the Cowboys. He's your friend now, I mean probably doesn't know that, but we were talking about it at the game and he was late getting to Dallas because his plane was stuck in the airport because how hot the tarmac was like it melts the tires.
I don't know.
I don't think it melts the tires. But I don't know, dude. I think there's like it's too hot.
We don't go.
That's crazy.
Same thing at Disney usually massive crowds, long wait times. They said this summer, though, it is way down because of the extremely hot weather. That's from best life online dot com. There was an age when I will go out. He did not bother me. I will go out. What do you mean, do work out? Play golf? Stared son. No problem now, man, that's getting I don't know what it is, ol man. I like it. Teenage prankster was shot and seriously injured after he and his friends we're doing the ring the doorbell run off game Ding Dong ditch Yes, at the home of an armed main man. So Vincent Martin, thirty years old open fire on the group of teenagers after they target his house.
At target his house.
At one am, oh at one am times, so that scares people on Saturday morning.
He still can't shoot unless you feel the thread right.
He opened the door and they were trying to run away and they shot at him.
The group knocked on the door, but before they could rush away. Was he that vigilant?
It's like, ah, I bet you somebody's gonna come up to the door, Like was he ready to.
I don't know.
I think before they could get away, like they were already were like.
Oh, they weren't like right out the door right still, though, you gotta be pretty close to the door. But the group knocked on the door, he opened his door and just started shooting.
So he also had a gun very close, which is just crazy.
He was taken to Cumberly County Jail, where he was charge of two felonies elevated aggravated assault and aggravated a reckless conduct. The main homeowner, the same person, was also charged with two misdemeanors as far as discharging a firearm.
Nobody died right.
Right, just the guy's hurt. Seriously, what does that mean? Seriously? Like still in the hospital.
I think still in the hospital, not critical, right. We played this game a little bit, but we never played at one am. We did it at like four people, right, and yeah, yeah, it was like we would go do it and we'd run off and hide behind the house. But it was always daylight. Oh that wasn't good at trouble stuff.
We did it all the time.
And there was one guy, Ray, He lived on the corner and we used to cut through his yard and he chased this one time and my dad's like, well, what is your problem man? And he goes where I come from? And they would have done that my old neighborhood. They would have been shot. My dad goes, well, this ain't your old neighborhood. That's true, though, so you need to stop. They're just kids, like, relax, But we did it all the time.
Would be annoying if people are doing it all the time, though I still don't Still, if you open the door and people are running away, you don't shoot at them. You don't shoot it. This guy's wrong, but I would be annoyed. I have to set like some booby traps or something.
Yeah. Well Ray, then he didn't.
That's where the bus stop was, and he didn't like us being in his yard, and so he sat across the street in his van and filmed the bus stop so he could show the city like, hey there, get him out of my yard.
So one kid that didn't ride the bus.
Very often showed up at the bus stop like, hey, man, beat you won't throw those pinklamingos on his.
Roof like a little plastic one.
You tricked a kid who never did it to do it, so he would think that kid was the one who was doing it.
Yeah.
So then the kid was like, I'll do it through that flamingo on the roof.
We go.
You're on totally hitting video. And that guy got out of the van and Ray ripped.
Him a new one.
Oh boy classic right huh Oh, he was a jerk.
Kobe Bryant's Lakers locker goes up for auction for an estimated one point five million dollars after almost being thrown out. The locker, used by Kobe during the majority of his Laker's career has gone on the auction block.
They expect it to be a million and a half or so.
Kobe Bryant passed away in twenty twenty, and apparently they were just cleaning and getting rid of all the lockers, like doing construction, going to toss it out, and they were like, hold hold that one.
Oh, now they're gonna sell it.
That's so cool.
That would go good war room.
I don't want I don't want a locker. What do you mean big with a name on it. But yeah, that's cool.
Listen, it's one of the million bucks. I'd love to have it, but that doesn't excite me to have.
Are you serious? Like everybody?
Like every night before you go to bed, you hang your clothes up that you're gonna wear the next day, and then you get up in the morning, you get dressed at the locker like Kobe, like it's game day, and everybody says.
An exciting me.
There are things that excited me that doesn't excite me that well, oh my god, that's probably the coolest.
Yeah, that sounds cool.
But a word from a president excites you.
That's pretty good. That's George Washington.
I got a link in two two billion dollar Powerball winner shows off their Instagram model girlfriend.
Hot you s here?
Oh yeah, this is from TMZ.
They say money can't buy happiness, but it looks like it can get you an Instagram model girlfriend. Edwin Castro won two billion dollars playing the power Ball, and now he's showing off more than his bank account.
He was seeing cruising around.
A Giorgio Armani event in Malibu with his new Squeeze model Peyton Vincent, to go along with his forty seven million dollar mansion and his fleet of expensive cars.
I'm telling you, this is hilarious to.
Look at them.
What does he look like like? Is he a good looking dude? No?
I right there, dude.
But the money, I think he'll end up.
Being a good looking dude because now he's gonna have resources and have to work. He can go do whatever he wants to do. He can go work out. People forget sometimes people just aren in good shape because they gotta work all day. Right, I mean that's really a big part of it. And you get all body shamed. It's like, dude, I got a job. So maybe he had a job before. He now has the money to be free and do whatever. But no, I would say they don't match. You would see them and go, they don't match. Something's up there. Good for him. Two billion is almost too much because again, you want two billion, you get a billion of it, basically a little less.
That's too much to like squander away, right, Isn't that too much? I mean I mean that's too much. Probably do it?
No, you couldn't.
That's if the rest sits in the bank and you just draw interest on it. Yeah, but sitting at your house right right.
And then also if you buy a property, as long as you don't sell it and get capital games, which I've just learned about that crap, and you hold onto it.
For a few years, you're fine. Everything's gonna make money. God, it's amazing.
Can you could you possibly piss away a billion dollars before you die?
I don't see how you could unless you.
After winning that like parties, bones parties, Eddie.
How many parties would you have to throw?
You don't have that many friends A billion dollars anyway, we've come over three times this week.
Man, you can't drink anymore more.
Southwest Airline says sodic hands are exploding on flights across the country and at least twenty flight attendants have been injured by erupting can since the start of the summer.
That I had no idea of. That's crazy.
Ways.
The airlines says soda cans are exploding on flights across the country because the record breaking temperatures all we just talked about, and they're calling them fizzy fiascos. Officials for the airline told The Washington Post at least twenty flight attendants have been injured by the erupting beverages.
We're where the issue.
Southwest does not serve perishable meals on flights, meaning they don't use refrigerated trucks, so they are warm beverage carts and they poured on ice. True soda cans stored at various airports get hot, and then it goes on a plane and then they go up and they're already warm and they've already suffered, and the boom they explode at thirty thousand feet, it's gotta be scary. That's crazy. That's from the New York Post. I would think something bad is happening. All of a sudden, boom on the plane. I can't hold that in is coming out. They come on a mouth that's coming out everywhere. And then I'll do this because Ashton Monroe, I'm a big fan known or for long time great singer, a great songwriter. She's one of the pistol Aannies with Miranda Lambert. You know, we talked on the Bobbycast and she opened up about her battle with cancer.
I'm feeling good, be healthy.
Yeah, twenty twenty four. My last chemo was December twenty twenty one. Ever since I've I get checked every three months. I think now it's going to switch to six months. Yeah, it's like I don't think about it. You know how when things happen, you put them in like the too hard pile of your soul. Well, that one's over there every time, like the day of my labs and stuff. It's like I put the mask on going to the hospital, and it's like your body thinks it's gonna happen again.
She's awesome. Go listen to the Bobbycast with Ashley Monroe. Hope you a little bit of time, go search for the Bobbycast. It'd be super cool if you did. Talking about the guy who won two billion dollars in the lottery, and I was just wondering, could you just spend all that? That's different than fifteen million, like an athlete. I'll make a bunch of money. And you're like, how did they go broke? Mc hammer famous for that a whole Yeah, garage going broke. If you had one billion dollars, you could spend five thousand bucks a day for more than five hundred years.
Okay, we don't live that long, so let me break it down even more. Five thousand dollars a day that's nice.
You could spend a one hundred thousand dollars every day for the next twenty five years and make nothing back. That means no investments, and you still it would take twenty five years at one hundred grand a day to spend one billion with money making nothing.
That means it's all just sitting in a pile in your house.
When you every day you go out and just spend one hundred thousand, it'd be really hard to spend that. And that dude, that dude who did it, and he's got a girl from way harder than he is, like, cheers to him.
Got two big old mansionsldfully like helping people too, right, Cherry, Yeah, whatever the case.
Hopefully Jesus. But it'd be hard to it'd be hard to spend all that.
Man he seems to still be a normal dude.
Now I'm watching him with all his cars. I don't think he's normal. They did have another story of these. You know, can money buy happiness? Right?
Yep?
Can.
Experts say you can use money to fight loneliness, but only if you spend it on experiences and not things. Spending money on experiences as opposed to things decreases loneliness. When people focus on doing rather than having, they get more satisfaction. They also feel more connected to other people. Feelings of connection make people want to engage in social activities, which reduces their loneliness. This is the Journal of Behavioral Decision Making. So here, if you have money, you can buy experiences. My first version of this was the opposite. When I started to make a little money, I did experiences by myself because I didn't have anybody. So I was like, I guess I'll go to Ireland by myself.
You went to places too that were like in TV shows.
That's the only reason I went. Yeah, because my whole life I watched TV, almost never left. The say to Arkansas and I was like, okay, cool. So I went to Hawaii by that was a big one, and as the Brady Bunch and by myself, and I was like, we take a picture of me and they were like sure, by yourself?
But yeah, yeah, yeah, And what are you doing a picture by yourself? You hold your arms out like an idiot. You're like, I'm here. But so that was the other one.
There was another money story, because there were two money stories that came out about money, money buying, happiness.
Yeah, I love money now, I love buying happiness.
And you think, absolutely, look.
At how happy that dude is that want a billion dollar or two billion dollars.
We don't know how happy he is.
Also, I start to think, if you have that much money, you wonder why do people want to be your friend at all?
Right, and that probably it's.
Like a bad point. You don't care.
I don't think that's true. I think you're still a human.
It's like some of these CEOs like jump out of windows and stuff, like they make noise because a lot of times in these situations, what happens is they get to the top and realize they're at the top and it still sucks. Like as a human, they haven't changed, they haven't found whatever they were searching for. Whatever their fulfillment was that they thought they would get from that, they didn't get it.
So like, why why do I even have to hang around?
Well?
See, that's what's crazy. I'm like, hey, you made a lot of money being up there.
At the CEO.
Just quit and relaxed for a little while, But I think enjoy the money.
What is happening is nothing is going to fulfill that specific person they've they now understand that they've sacrificed everything for this because they think this and this money is going to help them have fulfillment.
And once they get there they realize, Nope, sure didn't.
But that's also to their identity, right, Like when they work so hard to be something that's who they've become, so have to be.
They can't.
Well.
I think I think when people spend so much time being like a CEO of a company, being praised, being asked like, hey, what do I do here?
What I do here?
And then you just quit, I think that kind of takes a toll on you. But I think CEOs aren't praised mostly. I think you guys have a kind of a version.
But it's a pretty good title.
It's a cool.
Title, the name.
But CEOs are a woman. But I meant.
That, like, you know, like on top, I only know like one CEO. I'm gona be honest with you. It's not like I know a bunch of cry our ceo.
That's it. I don't know a single one. Yeah, it's not really like there's not a lot to know.
I guess like everybody I meet, no one's ever told me I I'm a CEO.
Like, what do you do? CEO.
There's a study from Wharton's school to medicine, and I guess Wharton's school period. I guess not medicine, but the same thing. The research found a consistent positive correlation between an increase in income and increase in happiness. The data also found that the wealthiest individuals were considerably happier Despite this, research backs up another study that found that the relationship between a person's happiness and their income didn't plateau around a certain point, which they had thought at one point. Instead, higher incomes are associated with both feeling better moment to moment.
I was thinking about this yesterday, and I've just asked this question before.
Would you rather be Prince Harry or Oprah? In which difference Prince Harry was born with that knows no other way his whole life, every second of his life. I feel like the greatest growth for me is because it doesn't matter if it's love, which I finally have, which took forever because I never thought I would get married, like and do I find it so special now because I never.
Saw it, never had it.
Same thing with being successful in my career, pretty poor and like do I appreciate it that much more than somebody who always had money, who has success, And we can't be both, so we don't know. It's like a guy going, yeah, I'll be pregnant. You really, You'll never You'll never be pregnant. You'll never know what it feels like. So would you rather be Oprah who had a rough childhood and got really rich through going hard or Prince Harry, who's always rich knows?
It's no difference.
It's easy. It's the easiest decision I've ever made.
The answer is, oh, Harry, okay.
Because when you're Prince Harry, you don't have to stress, like, you don't have to waste years of your life worried like what am I gonna eat? What am I gonna do? You are just there and you're like, man, this is awesome.
I know in life that our brains and bodies find stressors regardless.
Yeah, wherever you are.
With money, wherever you that, we find something distressed about that's happening in our ecosystem. That's why I would think happens I don't. You don't you just think I don't.
I don't.
I don't really find stuff stress about. Oh, even now, even now, not even very rarely am I stressed? What about if you had more money, I would be less stressed. What stresses you now than having more money would fix?
Like what are we going to have for dinner?
If it is stressful about spending money on it or they have to make a decision, make a decision.
So if you had more money, what would you do?
Have a chef, But then you'd have to tell the chef based the chef would do it.
That's his job. They make it.
Let's go surprise me to work for you make whatever they make it. Let's go just to get got it?
And that ain't good?
That's fine, move on to a new chef. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Wouldn't have more money, I wouldn't have to worry about it.
I wouldn't have to worry about going to the grocery store. You know who do that?
The chef got it. Let's go like, oh you got to drive somewhere, No gotta show fur man. I think I don't care.
There are a lot of people who would probably look at you and go, man, I wish I had his lifestyle. Anyway, you look at Prince Harry and go I wish I had his lifestyle. It's kind of a never ending cycle. So people could look at you and go, man, if I had lunch watches Lostyle, I would never stress about anything.
It feels like the greatest life ever.
I get up, I go and I sit for five hours and talk and face book, chat my friend from high school, crossword puzzy. Yeah, they would go, that's the easiest life ever. I would never be stressed into that. You would say, oh man, it's harder than you think. And they think this job's easy.
But that's what Prince Harry probably say to you.
No, no, no, no, Prince Harry doesn't.
Do any Yeah, I probably right, right right that he.
Literally doesn't do it. Some people, some people, yeah, I understand.
Some people like Oprah still have to work and do stuff and make the decisions. Prince Harry didn't have to do anything.
Is Oprah still working? I don't know. She worth three billion dollars? That wouldn't be.
Worth yeah, right, Why would you have.
The amazing But what if you always had it?
You know, no difference if you don't know hard, you don't know easy.
No, I'm with you, I'm with I mean, I don't I don't think the answer is that easy. But like I guess I'd rather be Oprah because of that. I know in the long term I would learn a lot and I would learn how to conquer certain things because I've been through a lot. If our Prince Harry did, it would just be smooth sal on the whole time.
Is this smooth? If it's always been smooth? Isn't that your version of rough?
Yeah?
Yeah, I mean Prince Harry could go on vacation for one of the.
Days and it wouldn't.
That's not vacation. That's not how awesome right. I feel like it'd be pretty unfulfilling.
I'd be fulfilled to see every place in the world, like travel here, travel there.
Check that out.
You guys can hit a several grass of calls on a second eight seven, seven seventy seven.
Bobby, Okay, this this is a.
You know, it's bold or its romantic. It depends on if the girl thinks the guy's cute. That's what the story is. I'm be honest with you. So this dude who walks at the airport saw a girl go through a saar bag. They put your name and number on the bag. You do so if your bag gets lost, they can call you. Her name was cursed, and she got a text from a guy named Nate who saw the name on the time he first texted her Kristen. Her name is Kirsten. I see how that could easily be messed up. Sure, so, Phil, she was like, it's a bad star. He said, I saw you and thought you were so beautiful. I wanted to find a way to talk to you. I promised. This isn't as weird as it seems. Give a guy a chance.
I don't know.
Hey, Morgan, you talk to me about this.
Let's say this happens to you. You're single, you get this message, what are your thoughts.
I've always been a person who will try anything once, and if this is the way you're gonna go about approaching, I mean I'd be like, Okay, send.
Me your Instagram, buddy. I mean, you gotta give me.
Something to like, so I'm not creeped out necessarily by the scenario to like know who you are then, But there is a creep factor to this, for sure. I would definitely be a little like, maybe not.
But fine line between bold and creepy.
I was gonna say that because women want guys to be bold.
The line is how good looking and safe the guy is.
If I were to send this message, if this have been me, the weirdo, we'll call him weirdo for the second the story. If this would have been me, I would have said, Hey, I saw at the airport. I know this is weird, but I took your number off the tag. Here's my Instagram. You can never message me, but I just want to show you who I am and what I am so you're not freaked out. That's what I would do, and give him a chance to her to go look at the whole thing because it is weird. But being bold is risky generally in life, being bold is risky, and with being bold in anything personal or professional because of the risk involved, you can look like a do fist many times. But no one likes to be watched here like, well, no, noway's watching You could have just.
Seen saw her?
Sure you just and then you go up and you get look at the tag and write it down. It's not like he's in a tree. It's not like he's in a tree watching her in the bedroom. I'm not saying I would do it or it's right. I'm just saying if it were me, I wouldn't just send the text. I would send more with it, because you're already working from a negative as soon as you send it your negative.
But if you never send it, you're not thing.
Well, well, I'm like as women too, we can't sit here and be like we want to meet somebody out in the wild, and then when people try and meet us out in the wild be like no, no, thank you.
So that's why I said you.
Had to be great point.
But yes, one, you are definitely probably feeling they're creepy until they prove otherwise.
Yeah, So you're going to give them a chance to prove otherwise.
Exactly Like like I said, you try everything once and if it goes bad, it goes back cool.
Never going to do that again.
So if she didn't like him, what she doesn't feel like she did like him, it's because he's either ugly.
That's it. That's it, Yeah, because that's all you would really know about him initially.
Yeah, or if you didn't send a photo or something to just be like, hey, here here's who I am to.
Like, Well, then he balanced the cree there's a reason he's not sending the photo. There you go or the Instagram. I want to go over and talk to I got a couple. I want to talk to you. I want to go to Hope first in Jackson, Mississippi. Who's a psychologist?
Hope?
Thank you for calling the show. Would you explain to me what your profession is before you give me your opinion?
Yes, I am a clinical license marriage and family therapist, not quite a psychologist.
Okay, well, thank you for that. Now why did you call the show? And we appreciate you calling?
Well, I called because you know everyone's talking about well, if I don't have money, I don't have stress. And yes, obviously you know hierarchive needs, we have to have food, safety shelter. But then you get past that, and you know, the people that I see coming to therapy obviously have money to pay for therapy, but their stressors are real, you know, whether it's relationship issues, a child on drugs. I mean, I could go on and on. So after you get past the basic needs, there are multiple, multiple stressors that people deal with.
Oh yeah.
Earlier in the show, LaunchBox was saying if you had more money, he would have no stress at all. Like, if you just have ano money, he'd have no stress. And what Hope is saying here is that that is from her example and her experience, that is not the case because people come in that have the expendable income to go to therapy, yet they still have many stressors.
Right, Hope, exactly, exactly different stresses again, not your basic needs. But the stresses just go on and on with relationships, with work, with you know, feelings of inadequacy, with being hurt with relationships. I mean, it's just endless the stressors.
Now, I don't see Garth Brooks like worrying about oh stress. He doesn't look stressed out to me.
You only see him a very select like a very very select part of his life when he's performing and.
Being Garth Keith Urban. He doesn't look stressed.
Again, comes in here, he.
Comes in here. Yes, I'm not gonna be able to talk any sense to him. That's okay, that's again, Hope. I really appreciate that call. Thank you for taking a few minutes and calling us up.
Have a great day.
I want to go to Cindy and Knoxville, who is on real quick. Hello, Sindy, good.
Morning, good morning.
What would you like to say?
Thank you for calling?
What would you like to say, Well, first of all, I've been listening to you guys for years.
I love your show.
But I would like to know is Lunchbox really as obnoxious? Does he portrays himself on your show? Or do you all pay him to be that way?
And what do you mean obnoxious?
I don't think I'm not obnoxious at all, But please explain yourself.
Okay, you are a a You portray yourself as an obnoxious, egotistical jerk. I cannot believe that that's your real personality, because otherwise they wouldn't put up with you for five minutes.
But can you give me an example? I don't think.
We all know the example.
So this is what I would like to say. I don't have any Cindy, and this is the god's honest truth. Lunchbox is a good guy, or he wouldn't be here and we wouldn't have been able to do this show together for how long?
Twenty one years?
In our ob way?
No way a long time? Would that just wouldn't be able to happen. Is he obnoxious? Absolutely? Am I obnoxious in a different way? Absolutely? My egotistical? Aren't we all?
Well?
They come out in different ways like mine comes out in a way at times that is a bit more palatable to some people than yours because of how abrasive you can be at times.
Is Lunchbox a good guy? Absolutely? Is he a good dad? Yep?
Am my egotistical?
Heck?
Yeah?
Is he?
Is?
He in love with himself? Sometimes a little much?
We feel like everybody's listen in life.
If you're not in love with yourself.
Then there's something wrong with his communication is just different, so it hits some people the wrong way. But he but he's also this loud off mic too, except he curses a lot more.
That's true.
So at times we have to be careful with the doors being open because he'sut yelling the F word down the hallway, screaming at people. So the answer is yes. But I don't think being obnoxious means you're a bad person. I think Lunchbox is a really good person or or he wouldn't be a part of this unit.
But yeah, he could be tough to I don't deal well.
She love herself. I don't understand well.
I think you guys are having like eight different conversations right now.
She said an egotistical, She's not. She doesn't have an ego.
Uh, Cindy, would you like to answer that, you don't have to go ahead?
Personalities, it's just personality.
Yeah, it is, Sindy. Thank you, Hope you have a great day.
I can assure everybody if you're broken down the side of the road and Lunchbock could stop and help you, he would, now what he also called the news. Yes, but it doesn't matter. All that stuff's fine. What do you stop and help you? Yes, but he wants a tip too on top of that, and he won't tip a waiter waitress if he feels that they do a bad job. Well not even a bad job, like you didn't want to tip because they put the salad in front of your wife and put the steak in front of you when it was actually different.
Yeah, I was burger and salad and I ordered the salad. My wife ordered the burger, and the waiter put it in front of me, put the burger in the salad in front of my wife, and I felt like that was rude, and I'm all about equality, so I was like, you know what, I got to stand up for the.
Women that wasn't why you just want to save money?
Woman, A woman can't eat a Burger. That's just rude.
That's not what they were saying. Cindy, thank you for the call. Everybody, thank you for listening. I do assure you. Lunchbox is a good guy at times funny, at times difficult. But aren't we all as he would say, aren't we all right?
Thank you.
I'm a big Ashley Monroe fan as a solo artist, as a songwriter. She's one of the pistol Annies with Miranda Lambert, and I want to talk with her about because she had cancer and what it was like fighting cancer and how that changed her outlook on life and how she got back into making music. And I waited for a while to talk to her because I was waiting for her to be healthy again.
And it was really cool to sit down.
And so here's a clip of Ashley Monroe on the Bobby Cast.
Which you can check out right now. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good, healthy, yep.
So what's twenty twenty four?
My last chemo was.
December one, and ever since i've I get checked every three months. I think now it's going to switch to six months.
And when they say, hey, you're good, had you already built back up? I mean, did you feel like you were healthier leading up to it?
Oh?
Yeah, I was.
It a slow inclined back to I don't normally without the word, but back to what you used to feel like it was and better.
You know, at the end, my my red blood levels were in the normal range. Everything was even better so than when I started.
So really healthier.
Yeah.
Man, and platelets, like my overall platelets at one point they got down to thirty. That was at the beginning, And now they're like, I.
Don't know what that means though, Like I don't know the comparison.
I think normals like one forty to three hundred.
You were and you were thirty.
I was thirty.
Yeah, And now I'm like every time I get that's like one forty two.
Do you have anything that you used to monitor yourself? No, because if it were like an or ring, I'd be obsessed. I did quite an or ring, obviously not the same thing, but I wore that stupid I looked at it. I looked at it every thirty seconds.
I have to throw away in mine to my or rings or any sort off.
It's too much power, yep.
And I would wake up in the middle of the night to check my sleep, which is the exact topic.
Bobby exactly was it right?
Was it?
Yeah?
It'd be like, you're not asleep and you need sleep, and I'd be like, yeah, it's.
A good point. I'm awake to check in my or ring.
It knows too much.
Yeah, yeah, so that I can't if I have any opportunity to like over monor same, I have to not do it at all.
Like I haven't looked at and things have been the past three or four years definitely different with like the radio show, not so much the podcast because I would look at numbers of everything all the time. Yeah, I get it, and have two modes. I need to look at every number all the time or none thing.
Yep, I one hundred percent understand that. And it's a control thing, you know. It's I think that people who don't we don't drink. I mean there has to be a flare up and control is a biggie. I mean it's like, yeah, and actually this sickness forced me. I'm still kind of a control freak, but I'm less of one because when you experience something with that out of your control. And there was a moment where I just said take it fine, I can't control it. And then there was such a good feeling about that really, so it's good to kind of remind ourselves like, but I think the better option to that is not to look at the things, or not to eliminate things that are gonna.
Yeah, my wife will be like, is your ring charge?
You wearing it?
And I'm like, no.
I don't charge what ring?
Yeah exactly, I don't. I just don't do it.
And I don't look at numbers every once in a while like that MC out and be like, hey, give me the give me a month from the past fourteen months. But if I do, yeah, like I drown in them.
I know, I get it. I don't know.
I stay aloof on purpose.
I don't.
I haven't looked at the chart well maybe ever, even when I barely grazed them back in the day, I thought, what's me looking at it?
Going to do anything that's pretty healthy?
Make me nervous, wreck and make me not want to do music. Well, that's defeats the purpose.
Did you ever have when you were going through your illness? Did you stop focusing on music or did you focus on in a different way, like did you use music at all?
No?
I went like, that's the only time that in pregnancy that my music button was just like really pause. Yeah, I don't know why did it?
When did they come out?
And I'm leading up to asking about this specific project, but when did the music bug kind of get back in your system? I feel like it's always lived there, like it took a vacation. When did it come back and move back in and.
Move back in when I got healthy?
Yeah, And it was like, you know, you process these things without even knowing it. You know that you're taking it in and what you know, I'll just feel like this feeling like go get the guitar, ghosted at the piano. I always say it's like an emotional sneeze. It's just like, Okay, something needs to happen. And then a lot of times, if I'll just push record and just start, I don't know whatever it is. If I'll go back and listen, there's words in there that I can sound out.
It's really interesting.
You a melody writer or like a lyric writer, if you and both, I mean both, But which one do you feel like you gravitate toward more instinctually?
I guess melodies. I love to like attempt to make a melody that like breaks your heart or like feel you know what I mean? And then words. I have all these notebooks. I mean, I feel like I do both. I just lovetimes. I'll get a melody first, I guess, and then I'll go look in my word ideas.
Yeah, well that's what I was. I was lornly.
The next question, like, you ever create like a really cool melody and then you go back and you find something you wrote eight months ago or pieces of different things, like how does that work creatively?
Yeah?
I I love to go back. I'll just go in my voice memos and go back to like twenty twelve, you know, and there'll be a nugget on there. I did that the other day on a flight.
They have melody and a voice memo, but words in a book or do you leave words in a voice memo too?
Uh?
No, words in the voice memo.
Yeah, I won't trust it. But I found a bunch of old.
Annie's things actually that I put organized in a folder for us, of like ideas we had had on the bus years ago that were good, you know, just I would have never remembered the melodies. I would have never so I try to I'm trying to be good about like organizing them so they don't just fall off the edge of the world.
It's always cool because there would be things that I would have written and or even jokes that I it wasn't at the right time, and then you go back and you're like, oh man.
This was so good.
I can still use this. That's always a good feeling. And it also reminds me I wasn't to because I hate old stuff. I always hate the old stuff that I've done, and I feel like that's healthy ish because I maybe it feels like I'm growing.
Yeah, it's like we don't identify because it's like we can.
Respect what we did back then.
Like I'll go back and listen to gosh even five years ago, and my twain is just so twenty, which everyone's always like that's a good thing. It's like now, I'm like, well, just try to ease up on your eyes and your whatever.
But I respect.
But it just sounds like a little.
Old country girl.
That's funny.
I still am. I'm just an older country girl.
I mean, I went to speech pathology for years because being from Arkansas, my accent was super thick. Yeah, right, and it was it was the eyes eyes or the iron g's and those those were the biggest two. When they did they have you say all this stuff and it'd be like, I just want to go fishing, and they'd be like, okay, well let's work on a few of these things.
And it was the eyes that was the biggest one. And I think if you're from where we're.
From, yeah, it's kind of undoable.
The eyes are tough.
I'll take the IF and then the I in g's.
But it's funny that you feel like you were or people tell you were twangy year. Yeah, have you made any like purposefully not been as twainy like with the new stuff?
Or no, I just try to if one sneaks out, that's just so over the top, I'll be like, oh, I just gotta I don't try to take all of them out, just the.
Lobby bone show.
Sorry. Up today, this story comes to us from North Carolina. A man walked into two different convenience stores, held up a gun, said give me all the money, and he got away and police put it out on the new It was like, how are we ever going to catch this guy? Then they're scrolling through Instagram and the guy posted pictures of him holding the same gun in the same clothes.
Oh wow, must be a thing, or he has one set of clothes. That's crazy.
I'm lunchbox at your bonehead story of the day.
Let's go through some voicemails. Here we go.
First one, I figured a fun fact Friday and the Morning Corny would be great. Did you know that a horse is the fastest animal when pregnant. It's got two horse powers. I have a great day.
That a joke. That's the job, not the fact.
It's the Morning Corny. Here's being funny.
No, I hear you? Fuck all right. Here's the next one.
Hey, Bobby and Morning Studio. I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming to Portland. I was at your brunch with Bobby and my husband and I had a great time.

My husband is a veteran and I'm a teacher, and we both really appreciate what you do for everyone. Oh and Eddie, I hope you enjoyed that bottle of boring. Come back to Oregon. Anytime.
Were you drinking the wine on Instagram? Yeah, we drank it the other day. It was very nice. Was it like an Oregon specific one? Apparently?
She and I think she's the one that gave it to me this whoever left the voicemail? She told me that the real pino in Pino and Noar is from Oregon, so she gave me the real stuff. I don't know the difference honestly, but like she said, it was the real stuff and it was good.
It's really expensive, and I know we've talked about this. You you don't have the palette to know, and.
I thought I did, but the more I drink it, I have no idea.
Yeah, it was portal was great. Thanks to everybody who came out.
