3:02Hello everybody and it's Bobby here and sometimes well once. We did the five question Q&A on a Monday. I'm actually recording this on a Monday because we're not working today, but this will be put up on Tuesday, so first day of the week. So I'm going to do this, these questions that you guys asked on my Instagram. And then I will walk down the five four three two one moments of my vacation. Here we go. Let's go to the questions that you guys asked on my Instagram Q&A. Question number one from xyob.os. Almost feels like a burner account, but they did write this message. Has being a father made you softer, more sympathetic towards life or anything different in general? Question mark. It has made me more tired. And it's not because I'm bench pressing a baby all day. It's because as soon as my focus gets

4:03off of work and I come home, my focus directly goes right to the baby and to help out my wife. So I did get a question too that I posted inside of my Instagram that said you guys have live and help. No. I would, I would love it. I want to pull that reaction to that back. I don't really want anyone living with us. So I was going to say I would love it if we had, because I think the question was asked and I did answer this one on my Instagram, on the stories part. I did say no, LOL. And then I felt like man, it would be nice though, but then I don't think it would be because it's not like we have other four houses on the property that they could live in because I definitely don't want people just walking around the house all the time. So yeah, no, we have no live in hell, but they were talking about live in chef, a live in nanny.

5:10No, no, all good. We do have a building on the property that is the the pole house, I guess you would call it. And it's pretty nice, except I've completely turned into a studio. Everything about that building is just we work from there now. So the answer to that is no. Another question that was asked is, are you going to let your baby have mayonnaise and we are a no mayo household? But wife is a no condiment person. She's never had ketchup or mustard or mayonnaise, but I hate mayonnaise too. So there will be no mayonnaise. We are a no mayo household. And being a father, has it made me softer? I don't know if softer is the word, but I do now see people, especially women because I have a girl and go, man, that's somebody's daughter. More so than that's just another person, but like that somebody's daughter. And obviously you know that, but you kind of don't feel that until you have a daughter. And that may make no sense to you. But I don't know if I'm more sympathetic

6:15towards life in general, like you asked, I might actually be and not know it though. So I'll give you that. All right, next up, when will you cut your hair? This is from Michael underscore FOEL. Michael foel. As of right now, I have no plan to cut my hair because the baby I was just talking about really enjoys being able to like grab the hair. And when I shake it, she thinks it's funny. And if I shake it in her face, she thinks it's funny. And so as of right now, I have no need to cut my hair. I don't only have a consistent television job. I mean, I could say the Netflix, but that's my own show. So right now, I have no plan to cut my hair. That doesn't mean I won't. It also doesn't mean I will anytime soon. Right now, I can see riding this thing out to the end of the year just to see what it feels like because it is kind of funny that every time I post something, people like, cut your hair. I don't have vanity about that. And it's kind of a bit now.

7:21Next up, from J. Warner 2313, what is your vacation rating on a scale of one to ten? It's an interesting question because this vacation was different than any other vacation that I've taken my entire life because we do have that baby that I've talked about in the first two questions. I would say that I would rate it seven and a half out of ten. We learned a lot this vacation having a five-month-old. It's also pretty wild because she's five months old and she's crawling now. I don't really know when babies are supposed to crawl. I don't look up the benchmarks because I don't want to be either disappointed that she's not reaching them or me thinking she's super advanced if she is. I just don't want to have pressure on myself or on her or I mean, she's not going to feel the pressure. But so I don't know, but she's crawling around all over the place now, which is interesting. We got to watch her

8:24closer now. So seven and a half, it was the first vacation where we took her. Last vacation that we had at the beginning of summer, we just stayed home because I think we had a three-month-old at that point. So we didn't go anywhere. We were still very new. We didn't feel like flying anywhere with the baby. We didn't feel like being in a hotel, having to figure that out. So this one was a bit different because we do feel like she definitely has some awareness. We got to do a bunch of cool stuff and we took her out and we went to a cabin, standing cabin in East Tennessee and there's lots of woods and we had a golf cart that we drove around in and I got a sneeze. So we had all that happening and that was fun and we also had Katelyn's parents with us. And so they were helping as well. But what we did learn and we learned something every time we go out and we experienced something new with the baby is that at home, Billy's room is completely

9:29blacked out. We put blackout curtains up so if she's taking a nap in the daytime, it's dark. If she's sleeping at night, it's dark. We went to this cabin and it said they had blackout curtains, but I'm going to tell you they weren't blackout and the room was so light in the day. We should have taken some cheap throw away. You can stick them on a window like temporary blackouts. We will do that for now on if we go anywhere. But we learned the hard way there and also we're in central time zone where we live, but we went to eastern time zone and so obviously everything's an hour earlier and so she was waking up a bit earlier because they're on the far left side of the eastern time zone. We are on the far right side of the central time zone. So she was definitely waking up a lot earlier. I think that was hard on Kaelin a little bit way more Kaelin than me because she gets up. If she hears even a cry, like even if she doesn't get up immediately, like she wakes up,

10:36eyeballs open like it is inside of her that if the baby is crying, she hears it. It's princess in the pee except it's a baby's cry through 20 walls like she knows it. So seven and a half, I did not rest much at all because when my wife wakes up for the most part I wake up. Now honestly, I might go back and fall back asleep for a few minutes in the bed. We did have Kaelin's parents there as well. So with them being there and they can watch Billy for a while, I did sometimes get what my wife likes to call second sleep for me. But the only reason I wouldn't go nine or ten is because this vacation I did not really get to rest like a normal vacation because if we have a normal vacation, I'm sleeping till nine. I might wake up at six, but I'm going back to sleep until nine, nine, thirty, ten. But it was a really good first baby vacation. And again, a part of that, if not a lot of that was because Billy's grandparents were with us. I just enjoy having him around

11:40anyway. So that would be that question. This is from Corey Davisson. Did the pull company pay to refill your pool? So if you hadn't heard the story, the quick version has a walked outside about two weeks ago and just noticed the pool was well, 93% empty. I took a picture of it. It takes a Kaelin. I said, did we drain our pool for some reason? Turns out a couple calls later, something happened. I did say on the show, I think they hit the drain button. I didn't even know if the drain button was an actual thing. And maybe there's a couple things you have to do to actually drain the pool. It didn't leak out because the yard wasn't wet. So whatever happened, I'm not quite sure. But we called the pool company. The pool company came out and said, hey, yeah, we're going to get on this. And they did pay to have a few things replaced. And I'm not

12:40really sure why they paid to have something replaced if they weren't somewhat at fault. They said, hey, we'll have this replacement. We'll give you a couple of service fees for free. I mean, I guess that works. I think all the pieces were like 700 bucks. And then I think the service fees, I don't know what they are, 50 bucks a time. I'm not even sure. I wouldn't have a pool. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have a pool. Growing up, always wanted a pool. I idolized people that had pools. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now it's just a big wet spot. I don't ever get in it. So no, they didn't. And I bet you that it cost $3,000 to fill the pool up because we, you have to do with the water hose. You can't get a fire truck back here in the back. Someone said, you should get the local fire department. They don't do that here. And secondly, there's no way for it to come back here to fill it up. As soon as I know, as far as what I know, they don't do that

13:45around here because I asked. So we get the water hose out and there's like a pool refill contraption. They put on the top of it and when it reaches it, it stops. And the pool is full now and whatever it's on the way. Maybe I'll love the pool later. Right now, a pass. If you could change one thing in your career, what would it be? This is from BTN262. If I could change one thing in my career and you could tell I did not read over these before I started answering them. What would I do? Maybe I would have stayed in sports as well. But here's a story on that. So when I was in Austin, and the show was in Austin, and we had reached our peak, not that we weren't going to get any better

14:48if we stayed there or bigger, but we had reached our highest point before we left. And you probably heard the story. I want to bore you with it. But when I started syndicating that show, I did it with my own money without anyone's permission. They didn't care that I did it, but they didn't want me to do it. There's a difference. They were like, they didn't care. I was in Austin, Texas. You don't syndicate shows from Austin, Texas. There may be a couple, but I haven't heard of any. It was always New York RLA. So I had just asked, Hey, do you care if I get on another station if I pay for it myself? And they were like, no, not really thinking anything would come from that. So I did it. And I spent a bunch of money on all this equipment. And we got on one station in which tall cancels. And boom, we're up and running, except not really. We're breaking down all the time. And then we went on in Lubbock. And then we went on in Beaumont. And then we went on... I'm trying to think of the other

15:51places we went first, but we start popping up in these cities. Small towns, I should say. And it's going great. But every time we get two new markets, I have to buy another what they called at the time. And they still do, but they were comics boxes. But for every two stations, I'd buy another comics box. So it was like $2,600. I didn't have that money really. I mean, I had it, but it wasn't that I had this extra income that I could just use. It was disposable. I think I was making $54,000 a year. And at one time, I had eight boxes running. So you're looking around 20 grand there. So it wasn't like I had a bunch of money. It's my point. And so I started syndicating the show. And at one time, we had before, again, our peak, we had almost 30 cities that we were running from a backroom in Austin, Texas. And so that's when I decided to go to Nashville. But at the same time, I was doing a national sports show on Fox Sports Radio on the weekends. Now, at first, it was

16:54Andy Roddick, the tennis player. He was a good friend of mine and myself. And we did this. And he was still playing professional tennis. So he would be in London. He would be in Madrid, Spain. He'd be wherever we would connect up and we would do the show. We'd do it every Saturday as three or four hours. And then I had lunchbox in there with me. I had a ray in there with me. And we would just do the show. It was fun. And then I started getting some looks to do some of the weekday stuff. And Jim Rome was leaving. And they came to me and said, hey, would you like to be in the mix for the Jim Rome afternoon show? And I really thought to myself, I can't do the morning show to my full capability and the afternoon show. And I was also going to move to Nashville. I didn't want to take on the new job of country music and all these new affiliates, all these new stations. I knew it was going to be brutal for the first couple of years. And then also I have to do a sports show in the afternoon. There was also going to be different from what people were used to. And that was going to be brutal

17:56for a couple of years. I just didn't want to take on the double brutal. And I also didn't feel like I had capacity to give them both my full attention. So I said no to that. Jim Rome spot and just dedicated myself to Nashville. But I stayed on the weekends. And Andy left the show and I was doing it solo. I was doing the national show. I was in Nashville still doing it. And I would tour. I was doing stand up and I was doing Reggie Idiot stuff. And I'd go find a studio on the weekends and I work in the daytime. And then I'd go and I'd do my show that night and whatever city I was touring in. And it just got to be too much. So I stopped doing the Fox Sports show. Now it wasn't that I was too tired, but it was hard to find studios in certain towns. They weren't paying anything. It was like a hundred bucks a show or something. But that has never been my motivation. So I just gave it up for a while. Years. Actually, I wouldn't have done 25 whistles had draft kings not come to me and asked me to do a five day a week show. To which I said no, I can't. I don't have the capacity. And they

18:59said, okay, well, let's do a two day week show. And that's what we said yes to. And they're a great partner. And they have spent a bunch of money with the show, which is great because that's how we make our money until we have our salaries and insurance. And it's it's all sponsor and clients. So what I do, anything differently, I think I probably would have stayed in sports a little more than I did. I think I hear my nan it going off. I do. It always does up my phone where I don't even know and I hear her right now in the room. Okay, okay, hold on. That nan it will stay on. I don't even realize it's on on my phone. It is on all the time. So I don't hear it anymore. It's almost like some of those kids songs that come off the little toys that we have. The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round and round. And I don't even hear it anymore. It's white noise. So the answer to that question is I probably would have stayed somewhat in sports even if it

20:00were to do a sports podcast for like a Fox Sports or ESPN instead of all those years just get out of it. Because now, and I've been doing it somewhat consistently for the past four years or so and not just 25 whistles. The NFL show with lots to say has been great in the last two years. Matt Castle and I do that show is a form of quarterback that gives me a little bit of credit. I need the credit because people go, oh, you do sports still. I go feeling for Rich Eisen. That's a massive show that is on ESPN radio. They're national, uh, you know, they they're national syndication, uh, for their sports radio and it's on Disney Plus. And so we've been doing it a while. But, uh, people also go, oh, you just sports, but I get it. You're really only known for your main thing. It drives me crazy sometimes. But you're really only known for your main thing even though you've spent tons and tons and tons of hours doing other things. I mean, I've written three books at this point. Two in a kid's book, but the kid's book was such a process, a different process than the others.

21:02And I don't get annoyed because I understand the situation. People only know you for the main thing. And the main thing for me is the radio show. It's not even you're listening now. This is a podcast. Like we have a massive podcast. I'm not saying that in a braggadocious way. It's just that the radio show is about a third of the Bobby Bones show podcast feed. And it's only about a third. And we have a monster podcast that does tens of tens of tens of tens of millions of streams and downloads a year. But I still really can't make it people to be like, yeah, podcast or even have a podcast on Netflix that is not the show. And I have to not be irritated at that. People only know you for the main thing. But what would it be different? That's a long thing to say I'd probably have at least kept my toe in the water with sports and done more like filling in for some of the big shows. Because I do it is fun for me. And I don't have to do really any research because I am invested fully and wholly in it as a hobby. So that's been fun.

22:04So on the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Biniero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies your soul about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita. On the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

23:05When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the survivor files. You just remember this low taunting voice next to my ear, saying shut up, don't say anything. Every week I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up without a doubt he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced but these aren't stories about what's taken from them. Their story is about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with the Elizabeth Smart on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're bookshelf and you're for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home.

24:11This is Pro's Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters and that is the Trojan horse, whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to Pro's Society on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. College football will hijack your weekend, ruin your sleep and break your heart. And that's why we

25:11make the Sullivan verbal college football show. I'm Ty Hildenbrand. He's Dan Rubenstein. How's it going? Every week we preview the games that matter, sort through the biggest storylines and tell you what to watch before kickoff. There's a lot to keep track of. Who's for real? Which upset is hiding in plain sight and which storyline is about to take over your group chat? And when the games are over, join us in the aftermath too. We're going to react to what happened, talk about the biggest results. Of course we'll cover the playoff picture and all the little details you might have missed while flipping between like 12 games at once. Whether you know every coach and coordinator or just want to understand why everybody is yelling, we're here to help make sense of the madness. Listen to the Solid Verbal College football show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The US Open is back. That's right. Two weeks of incredible, exciting tennis. Some outrageous overreactions from players and some hot takes from people who have, let's face it.

26:16No idea what they're talking about, but it's okay because I'm here for them and you. I'm Renee Stubbs and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast I'll be breaking down everything that happens after big matches, who's playing the best tennis, who looks like they could possibly win this tournament, the surprise runs, the heartbreaking exits and all the drama that only the US Open can deliver. Coco, looking real good, her serve looks so much smoother than it has in the past. I was really happy to see Ega back to what she looked like a couple of years ago when she was winning dominantly. Listen, I'm going to let Venus decide when she wants to retire. I'm going to let the tournaments decide when they don't want to give her a wild card because she still puts bums in seats, she still sells and people love to see her play. You always say on this show that this is the best predictor of who will do well at the US Open. If this is a preview then we are in for a treat. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the iHot Radio app, Apple podcasts, all-wear, ever-you-get-you-podcast. I talk five things from my vacation. I made a list here.

27:18Number five, the weather in the mountains. I don't know where you're listening to me right now, obviously, but I'm going to say if you're anything like I am, you are over the heat. It has been I feel in my bones and in my guts the absolute hottest summer in the history of my summers. So bad. And we went to the mountains, obviously, we're elevated. I think we're elevated about 3,500 feet. So definitely not quite a mile because it'd be 5,280 feet, but we're on up there. It was cooler up there and it was nice. It definitely was still really warm in the peak hours, but mornings were great, evenings were great. And I'd put number five on our vacation, weather in the mountains. And number four, I'm going to put playing pickleball after we got back at 9.30am. Now, I give very jealous whenever I see my friends here in Nashville.

28:21Now, and to be fair, my friends in Nashville for the most part are one of three things. They're in the creative world. They are in the sports world or they're on law enforcement. That's it. I do have a couple of friends that have like business jobs, but for the most part, I would say 95% of people that I would call friends here in Nashville are either ex-athletes that moved here after their career was over or they played for the Titans or another team, but then they stayed here. They are artists or like songwriters, like Brett is an artist, Ross, Coppermint is a great producer songwriter. George Burge is an artist. Like those are my friends and then I have law enforcement friends. They have jobs where they don't have to be at work at 8am. So if they want to have a 9.30, 10am pickleball match, it's no problem. Or if they want to have a 9.30

29:29basketball game, I get invited so often out to Ashley Gourley who I think is written more number ones than anybody in the history of country music. I get invited at his house to go play basketball or pickleball and it's 9 o'clock at night, but creatives don't have to do what you probably have to do, which is have a regimented job or in the morning you have to be at your job. So, a number four on my list is pickleball at 9.30 or 10am because multiple times once we got back at a friend come over and we played pickleball at 9.30 or 10am and it was awesome. It was the greatest. So I have to wake up early to do it. I didn't have to wait till late in the afternoon like I do sometimes where I don't get to play till 4.30. But now I got the baby in the baby's 5.30. She's got a good on her back and I just woke up. Took her some baby stuff, helped out Kaylin, a breakfast, played pickleball. It's pretty great. So I think that's number four. Just being able to hang out and do something I enjoy at an hour that is so convenient. At number three,

30:35and I bet you this will be in Tuesday, Reviews Day. But I read two books. And the last vacation I think I watched 14 movies. I only watched one movie. But it takes a lot longer to read a book than it does to watch a movie. And so I read two books. I'm in the middle of a third right now. I don't think I'll get it. I'll complete it before we go to the show. So it was nice to just grab my pad, just chill, and do the read 10 pages at a time, 15 pages at a time. Okay. You need to take baby for an hour? No problem. We're all hanging out with family. No problem. All right. I got a book. All right, got a book. So I did a lot of reading, which I neglected. It's so hard to just take and read a book whenever you have your phone there. And you can just be on TikTok or Instagram. But I fought against it. Part of the reason too is that I have a phone that is piece of crap and it's dying all the time. I can be fully charged whenever I wake up in the morning by noon, 13%. So it's always going to be on a charger. And then

31:39what I've done over the break is I go put my phone on a charger in the different room. So when it's in that room, I'm not always looking for it or at it. And I just read. It's nice. And I don't have my iPad hooked up to my iMessage. So no text coming through nothing. It is hooked up to the Internet except it downloaded the books. But I don't have the iMessage or anything. But that would be number three. I'll tell you the private books in Tuesday or the views day. But read two books, watch the movie. Number two is that Howie Mandel was really nice. So on Friday before vacation started, because I spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of not last week we were off. But the week before that in Nashville, I filled in for Rich Eyes and on that Thursday and Friday before we officially hit vacation. Now what I have to do though is go to a studio in another state, California. It's like it's a secret. You know where I am probably. And so I go in that

32:44studio and I record liners. And on Fridays, it's much easier because we most of the time will do easy trivia. And what you'll notice sometimes, this is not an in the weeds, but I don't care. Sometimes the easy trivia segment on YouTube will be so much longer than the one that makes the radio. And so with the reason we record that segment specifically, and sometimes we do it on Thursday afternoon is because sometimes it runs way long. And if it runs way long, we'll just cut some of it out for radio. On the podcast, it could be as long as it is on YouTube. But so, but at Fridays are much easier for me to not have to do as much the day of, especially if we have a guest. So we had guest, we had easy trivia, we had dance parties, we had all that. But Thursday had to go in to that studio in Los Angeles. And I've to do a lot of client stuff that's every day. I got to record liners and record client videos. The liners would be local things for affiliates in different cities. So if the Boston stations doing some sort of concert or are watching DC affiliates doing,

33:48you know, some charity event, like I have pages and pages and pages of liners that I read for stations every single day. Because I think we're on 200 plus, I'm not sure, it could be 300. I used to keep up with that. I don't anymore. So I do that and then I have commercials that I do every day. And then I record anything from the show that needs to be done. Sometimes it's a half the show. Sometimes it's live. So it just depends. And I try to be as super prepared as possible when I'm working out of another studio because if something goes wrong, we just have stuff that we can plug in. So, but do that on Thursday and then brief on Friday in the studio before the Rich Eisen show and then rolled over and did Rich Eisen both those days. And Rich Eisen is a former sports center anchor. When I was a kid, he was a massive deal to everyone because ESPN was popping as hard as it ever had. It was a big part of culture. And those sports center anchors were on all the time. Sports center was so different than anything else we had ever seen our whole life because we just saw sports as something that was on the news for four minutes. So Rich Eisen,

34:54Dan Patrick, Stuart Scott, Craig Kilborn, like all those guys. To me when I was a kid, they were the absolute coolest. So when I started to fill in for Richard, I thought it was so cool. The first time he came on 25 whistles, highlight for me because I was interviewing Rich Eisen. One of these people I looked at and admired as a child. And so for me to get to go and fill in for his show because I don't get money for it, they do offer to pay me kind of into the weeds here. I think there's some fee they pay their guests hosts. To me, it's just such an honor to get to go do that. I just have Rich donate the money to an animal charity. So I pay him a whole way out there, pay for hotel, pay for everything myself. Like to me, that's super fun. And it's an honor to be asked to do that because that is such a massive platform. And then we get to give to charity. So everybody wins. So on Friday show, how I Mandel was coming in. I reached out to Howie whenever I was going in because they say, Hey, who do you want on the show? And the guest

35:59booker for that show, I know I've worked with her before because she works with us in books and of our lots to say NFL guests. And so same person works great. It's how we even knew to user because I'd worked for the run Rich. And I said, I would love to have how I Mandel because he was on the Bobby cast. And we did 45 minutes or so, but it was virtual. I'd love to honestly just meet him. And she was like, I'll check it out. And he said, yeah, she said he's in. So he came up. And all I did to come up, he was so nice. He hung out before we did 20 minutes, two different segments. He hung out after is excellent. So I'm going to put number two there. Howie Mandel was really nice. And then number one is going to be that Caitlin's parents were with us on the vacation. And not even just because they were helpful in watching Billy, I just like having them around. They are wonderful. It is a better day when Caitlin's parents are either staying with us or we're off somewhere together. It is just a better day. So for me,

37:03that's a plus when that happens. That's my number one. And then we did a bunch of cool stuff while we were out. Again, we may you may hear me hearing a little repeat of this because I'm sure we'll talk about this on the show or at least part two of the podcast. But we did a pottery, like a pottery class. I suck at pottery. Caitlin's dad was like, I never done this. It's going to be weird. And then he actually was pretty good, which was kind of funny. We did a ropes course like through the trees to the woods that they had built. And that was a lot of fun. So that's going to be my number one. Caitlin's parents with us on vacation. And listen, they really do a great job of making an effort to get over. They did even before we had a baby. But now that we have a baby, one of them or both of them are here every couple of months at least. And it is not like they live next door. This is not everybody loves Raymond. They live in Oklahoma near Tulsa. And they drive a lot a lot of times almost every time, nine hours or so. So we always really appreciate that they come. And I really like them to come. So there you have it.

38:09That would be the questions. That would be my top five things for vacation. You're still going to get some tell me something good. Thank you all for being here. And goodbye. It's time for the good news. We produce already. There's a group of eight friends from Idaho. And they decided to start an Instagram page called 208 Boys. I guess that's the area code where they live. 208. So the whole thing was going to be they're going to get cameras. They're going to go into the rivers in their town. And they're going to find treasure. Look at fish or whatever. But turns out when they went down there, all they found was trash. And so they're like, guys, we got to do something. They thought their page would go, I don't know, five or 10,000 followers. They started picking up trash and letting people know, guys, these rivers are disgusting. They're full of trash. So they start cleaning them up. Now the town is cleaning up trash. And they have a hundred and eight thousand followers because they did something good with their Instagram page. Wow. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. It's weird

39:10how much trash is in water sometimes. You don't even realize. He's you'll see a clean up. And they'll put all the bags out after they've gone to the lake and cleaned up the water. And it's like 40 bags. Or you go fishing and you pull up like a water bottle and you're just like, what? Yeah, a tire. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good for them. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. It's time for the good news. We've lunchbox. Yeah. There's something good.

His teacher sees it, calls for help, a system principal, Dr. Mary Paine runs across the cafeteria grabs him. I'm like maneuver. Outcomes the hamburger. Wow. Saved. That's amazing. Glad to see a life saved. Yeah. I think if I don't know if you're 10,

Is when you start telling me. I thought it was like specific. Yeah. I did. I had some of your mama jokes that's going to share. You do? Yeah. Come on. It's never about anybody's mama. Well, do lunchboxes. No, I'm not doing anybody's mama. Oh, okay. And also people would do them to me and I'd be like, so then they make fun of me and I'd be like, ah, that sucks. Yeah. That's how you get that's how you get me to make fun of me like my physical limitations. But I'm all can defend yourself. Your mom jokes never hurt me. Your daddy jokes. Oh, yeah. Oh, that hurts.
