Segment 7: The (Not So) Great Testosterone Showdown – The Results

Timestamps: 68:16–83:04 (includes related callbacks)

Background

Lunchbox and Eddie have been in a weeks-long, playful rivalry over who has higher testosterone. Blood tests ensue, with drawn-out delays and wild speculation.

Discussion Highlights

Outcomes and Jokes

• The group erupts in laughter at Eddie’s low numbers, sometimes crossing the line into pure roast, while Bobby tries to remain sensitive.
• Suggestions for Eddie: improve sleep, exercise, see a doctor, and—jokingly—get his “ovaries checked” and consider a “hysterectomy” ([81:13], [81:26]).
• Eddie is both self-effacing and indignant: “Guys, I’m a woman. Still a man.” ([83:00])
• Quote:
  • Bobby Bones: "So you barely missed the low part of mid." ([74:46])
  • Lunchbox: "Show your boobs, dude. You’re a chick." ([72:11])
  • Julie: "It’s not life or death. It’s quality of life." ([80:56])

---

Additional Fun Moments and Listener Value

• Wedding Sticker Shock: Morgan's surprise at big wedding costs and new-age tipping moments.
• Teamwork vs. Peer Pressure: Lunchbox defends not donating to the cleaning lady's fund, while the group debates the nature of "good deeds."
• Trivia & Terminology: Learning "buckle polishing" as slang for slow dance songs; exploring "yacht rock" and "not rock."
• Listener Relatability: Everyday dilemmas (tipping, jury duty, health shocks) presented with candor and humor.

[Bobby Bones]

I had to get some context. Hey, I'm texting it to you right now. Yeah, I'm about to read it. Okay. I just want your reaction. I just want your reaction.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Yep.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it life changing?

[Lunchbox]

Of course it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it. Is it what someone on the show has desired over the years, but they have really either the means or the connections to do it correct? I can agree to that.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, I can't wait to do this. I'm so excited. Yeah, I know what it is.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I do, too.

[Lunchbox]

I know it is.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's you three. It's. It's Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan or Eddie. That will get it. Yeah. I'd like for you guys to give me your new guest and then I'll eliminate one of you.

[Lunchbox]

I got it.

[Eddie]

The other ones were wrong, right?

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody's been right.

[Lunchbox]

Going to space twice wasn't right.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Different variations. You know, space camp.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox has guessed a Survivor casting agent.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he guessed Lamborghini or like

[Lunchbox]

one of those races driving.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. What is your new guess? If it's for you, what is it?

[Lunchbox]

I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

We had that guy in here that writes cartoons and has voice acting, and he was so impressed with me that you reached out and he was like, yeah, I got a role for him that he can be on one of my shows.

[Keith Urban]

And.

[Lunchbox]

And that is what I'm doing. I don't know the guy's name, but I can't wait to work with him. Going to be awesome. Oh, yeah. I nailed it. And I've been doing Squeaky the Squirrel

[Bobby Bones]

for a long time. You should know Butch Hartman's name if you want to work with them.

[Lunchbox]

I do know his name. I was just so excited. Butch Hartman.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so that's Lunchbox's guest, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Well, I. I have mentioned this before. No, I have a new guess. I have a New guest. I have mentioned this a few times. We've talked about it. That I really want to go on an African safari. And I'm about to get married. And that is. I've talked about it twice on the show. Yes, we have. And I feel like it could be something with that. Or maybe I get to meet an animal. I don't know. African safari vibes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh, Eddie, if it's you, what do you think it is? What do you think the. The prize is?

[Eddie]

I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay?

[Eddie]

I've always talked about starting a 401k, but I don't have the money to do it. Like I've told you over and over, I would love to, but the expenses of having kids, a big family, I can't do it right. And I always want to retire. You're gonna give me a huge lump of cash to start a 401k.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can see it in your face.

[Eddie]

I guessed it. What are you talking about?

[Lunchbox]

Guys, he said strings had to be pulled.

[Eddie]

Okay?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I said money from somewhere. I said it could be strings. It could be means. It could be. I just want you guys to know this was not. Yeah, maybe it was not easy.

[Julie]

Bobby went through the back door, through accounting and was able to put money.

[Eddie]

$100,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Like you're out of your mind.

[Eddie]

But start retirement.

[Julie]

Bobby's going to start matching our 401k contributions himself.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby is not.

[Eddie]

Because that would be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be crazy. Okay, so it's one of you three. I want to eliminate one of you. By the way, none of you are right.

[Eddie]

Oh, gosh, I'm running out of ideas.

[Julie]

Shocker.

[Eddie]

I mean, Morgan went to African safari,

[Lunchbox]

something she's mentioned twice on this show in 12.

[Julie]

You guys are such haters.

[Bobby Bones]

So I have to eliminate one of you. So one of you will not be getting the super secret prize gift experience. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

And the person who is not getting the super special secret prize gift experience.

[Lunchbox]

Bye, Morgan.

[Eddie]

Bye, Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Of Eddie, lunchbox, and Morgan.

[Eddie]

See ya.

[Lunchbox]

Bye, Morgan. Adios. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[Eddie]

You hang out with your animals.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. The person not getting it is Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead, say Morgan.

[Eddie]

Come on.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, say Morgan. Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys are so rude, man.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, we're so true.

[Bobby Bones]

The person not getting it is Morgan. Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Bye, suckers. Oh, wait.

[Morgan]

You guys are the worst.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, we just knew you.

[Julie]

Bobby.

[Morgan]

You're great.

[Lunchbox]

We know.

[Eddie]

Morgan, it's not gonna be you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you know it's me.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Now the golden the golden question, did we answer correctly?

[Julie]

Because then you would know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

I've already said no.

[Lunchbox]

But you say no because you don't want us to think.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you think I've said no.

[Julie]

I can tell you now.

[Eddie]

Maybe it's not a hundred thousand dollars, it's just a little less.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just 50, something like that. No, you guys are not right, so. But two people remain. Now, Ray knows what it is, Amy knows what it is, and we're on the same page. It's a life changer.

[Eddie]

But. But we've talked about this. Something we've always wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't mean it has to be recent. Yeah, it also could mean it was yesterday, but yes, absolutely, you have talked about this.

[Eddie]

I'm out of ideas.

[Morgan]

Wait, can you tell me what it is now?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe. Maybe Monday.

[Morgan]

Okay, now I want to know.

[Eddie]

Yeah, too many people know.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's fun. Once you're out, you get the knowledge of it. Okay, we'll play again Monday.

[Public Investing Ad Voice]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Morgan]

Number two, Eddie went to a restaurant and something kind of crazy happened with the server. When he asked the server to do something, the server responded with something he's never heard before. And then it turned into, well, would you tip after this happened to you?

[Bobby Bones]

Number six, we talk a lot about tipping and how out of control tipping culture is, or what you should tip. So Eddie has a story here by going to a restaurant, and he's gonna ask us what we would have done tipping wise. Okay, go ahead.

[Eddie]

This is ever happened to me. We take the family to the restaurant. The hostess takes us to the table, we sit at the table, and underneath the table there's like old food, French fries, and like, even half a burger and, like, some drink that's spilled. So when the server comes up, I say, hey, man, before we get started, can. Can we get this food cleaned up? It's kind of sticky down here. Whatever. And the server says, why don't you do it? I have four or five other tables here. I was like, what? And then he just left.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you really say it?

[Eddie]

Why don't you do it, man? I'm really busy. I got five other tables I'm working on. And then he left.

[Bobby Bones]

It's weird.

[Eddie]

And then he comes, takes his. Takes a drink order like nothing ever happened. Then finally when he brings the food, it's almost like it clicked and said, you know what? They might not tip me because of how I acted. He goes, hey, I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean to do that. Like, I'll clean whatever's under the table. I'm like, that was 30 minutes ago. Like, you never even cleaned anything.

[Bobby Bones]

But did all that stuff stay under the table?

[Eddie]

No, I ended up kind of shuffling it to the middle of the tables where no one can step on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody cleaned it out.

[Eddie]

It was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Were they jam packed?

[Eddie]

It was pretty busy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but still, like, I agree.

[Eddie]

Clean it up.

[Bobby Bones]

What would you do tip wise?

[Eddie]

I tipped them 20%. But like, that's great. But I mean, I really felt like I did not.

[Julie]

But he owned up to it. I think if he had never acknowledged it, it'd be a little more difficult. But he, he did say sorry at some point. You can't fault someone for when it is. He realized, oh, my behavior wasn't okay.

[Eddie]

And he acknowledged, I think at some point he realized that if I don't apologize, I'm not going to get a tip, so I should apologize.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like he was having a bad day.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it doesn't matter if you're having a bad day. You should never tell someone, well, you pick it up.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree. That felt weird. He did apologize. How was his service?

[Eddie]

I mean, like, normal. It was nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't slow, it wasn't fast.

[Bobby Bones]

It was good service.

[Eddie]

It was, it was fine. 20% worthy. Other than you pick up the trash,

[Bobby Bones]

what would you have done?

[Julie]

I would have been a little taken aback that that's how they responded, but especially since he acknowledged it at some point in the evening, I'm still going to tip normal lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Not a chance in the world I'm tipping normal. He may get 10%. That is a big, big deduction. Fine. You don't want to do your job. Your job is to clean. So I can have a clean environment to sit in. So fine, that's cool. You don't want to do it, then you earned no money.

[Keith Urban]

Hmm.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm putting myself in the situation.

[Eddie]

Oh, would you be upset?

[Bobby Bones]

First off, I would be irritated to be spoken to like that regardless, so. But I think weighted tables, bus tables, all that also, I think I would have tipped more than normal and here's why. He obviously was having a really hard day. And I think I would have put myself in his shoes and thought, why did he react like that? He didn't hurt me. He did say he was sorry. Something's up. His day's been extremely hard. Maybe home's extremely hard. And sometimes if somebody does something to you and it isn't positive and they've been kind of a jerk and you're so nice back to them. That teaches them more of a lesson than anything else you could do. I think I would have tipped more than normal because I would have felt like something's going on. I didn't know, man.

[Eddie]

Doing the 20%. I was like, this is so stupid. I can't believe I'm actually doing this.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you for doing that though, because again, something's going on.

[Eddie]

My wife told me to oh,

[Kalpen (Cal Penn)]

hey everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project, Hail Mary Massive sci fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone, very far from Earth.

[Ray Porter]

I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections. And it's like, okay, yo yo yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.

[Eddie]

I was like, no.

[Ray Porter]

At this point it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that deeply, emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah dude, me too.

[Kalpen (Cal Penn)]

Listen to Irsay the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan]

Jury duty. Jury duty. Lunchbox got summoned to jury duty. Did he get called? Is he on a jury? What happened? We got all the details from Lunchbox's

[Bobby Bones]

Jury experience Number five. Lunchbox is here today, which means he is not on a jury. Yesterday he had to leave Pretty close to the end of the show for jury duty. All right, what happened?

[Lunchbox]

Not guilty, your honor. No, really. I just went and I show up, and let me tell you, a court is busy. You trying to get through the metal detectors. It is a mile long out to the street. You sit in line for, like, 25 minutes trying to get through the metal detectors. And you go in, and you walk up to the window, and they say, what's your name? Tell him your name.

[Bobby Bones]

Daniel. You say that? Daniel. No, I just.

[Lunchbox]

Tell him your name was. I didn't say anything. Okay. I slid him my id. Okay. And they zapped a little barcode. They printed out a paper. They gave me a little tag, and they said, wear that at all times while you're here. So we're, you know, we know you're a juror.

[Eddie]

Did it say Daniel?

[Lunchbox]

It just said juror number.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And so I go in this big room, and there's probably 150 to 200 people in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Does everybody look miserable?

[Lunchbox]

Everybody look. Well, that's the weird part. A lot of people become best friends with everybody in there. They start talking to each other. They're just chatting it up. I'm like, guys, can we shut up? Like, we don't need to talk the whole time.

[Bobby Bones]

Focus on justice. What I'd say, right?

[Lunchbox]

We need to be worried about the law. You need to be thinking about, like, what am I going to do in this situation? Am I going to be the foreman? And you sit there, and there's coffee and water, and the guy comes up, and he's like, listen, we're going to get started in a few minutes. This is what's going to happen. You could be here for up to five days. Um, and I don't know how many trials we're gonna have today. We're still waiting to hear from the courts upstairs to see who's gonna go to a trial, who's not. So we'll be with you shortly. And people just chatting away, chatting away. People scrolling their phones. Me, I'm concentrating, staring at the wall.

[Bobby Bones]

Focus on justice.

[Lunchbox]

Like, all right, man, what am I gonna do here? Are they guilty? Not guilty.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't even know the case yet, but. Okay, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And I did get in trouble at one point. I took an elevator in the courthouse, and there was a guy, and he was dressed. All dressed up, and he's like, I'm kind of nervous. I don't want to be late. I was like, oh, you here for jury, dear? You too? And he goes, no, I'm here for court. And I said, oh, man, I may be a juror. I'll say not guilty. And someone in the elevator goes, you can get in serious trouble for that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you probably shouldn't say that.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just joking. I was just joking. I was just joking. I was just joking. Like, I was trying to be funny. Sorry. Like, don't do that. So don't make jokes at the courthouse. What I found out. And so then they come in there like, all right, you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna call. It was 35 or 40 names. If you hear your name called, please come out here and wait in this little lobby area. You'll be going up to courtroom, whatever. And they just start calling out names. And the first name off the list gets a commemorative pin from the city of Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you want the pen?

[Lunchbox]

I was like, oh, my gosh, how stupid. And I was like, but if I'm gonna get called, I better be first. Yeah, first name Abdul. Oh, yeah. Called first. Then they keep going down. And as they flip the page, you're like, oh, my gosh. They still haven't called. About to be scot free. Then they go, and finally, Barbara. Whatever. And I'm like, yeah, I'm out of here. And they go, you heard your name call. Come out in the lobby. If not, hang tight. We got more.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

Court cases.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, did you get. You didn't get called ever.

[Lunchbox]

So I waited for another two hours. They.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you wait for two more hours?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

And then they got the list. They called out 35 or 40 more names, and they said, guys, we're only having two trials today, so everybody else, you're free to go. They released me out in the wild, and I made $20. How you get paid 20 bucks to be a juror?

[Julie]

Is it like cash or what?

[Lunchbox]

No, they pay out at the end of the month.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, sure they do.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's in the mail.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's what they said.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you want to get on a jury once you got there?

[Lunchbox]

I did want to get on a jury, but once they said I could be there for five days, I was like, oh, my gosh, that would be miserable.

[Julie]

Yeah, but we said you could. If you get on a high profile case, you can write a book.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

But five days, you know, that's a long time to be sitting there for hours and eating courtroom lunch because they provide the lunch for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Think of all the stories you'd have, though.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, you went off for 10 minutes about a list and Abdul, but they got the one. The actual story you could bring.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's true, but. Yeah. So I didn't get picked, and they released us, and we turned in our

[Eddie]

name tag and the one that said Daniel.

[Lunchbox]

No, it said juror number, and it had a big old long list of numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

So I've been called. Lunchbox has been called. Eddie and Amy haven't been called ever. So Lunchbox wanted to change that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So what did you do?

[Bobby Bones]

He. Do we have the audio.

[Lunchbox]

I nominated you guys for jury duty.

[Bobby Bones]

Here you go.

[Keith Urban]

Hello.

[Lunchbox]

How's it going?

[Eddie]

Good.

[Ray Porter]

How are you?

[Lunchbox]

Amy Brown and Eddie Garcia have never been to jury duty. Can I nominate them?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it don't work that way.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it doesn't work that way.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't work that way.

[Lunchbox]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta get Luck of the draw.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Because they keep telling me, oh, you gotta go. And I wanted to put them on the list, but that's how it works. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't work that way.

[Eddie]

All right, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Check him out, though.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Hey, it doesn't work that way, but in a week, you may get a letter.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox. You love that courtroom vibe. You love that.

[Lunchbox]

It is kind of fun. It is like. It's a hustle and bustle, people going and coming and people meeting, having secret meetings, talking over in the corner and like, oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Make you want to be a lawyer?

[Lunchbox]

Kind of. Yeah, I'd like to. I like to argue things, and the people in front of me, I could. It was like a daughter and mom and dad, and I think the mom and dad were there to support the daughter, and they were, like, practicing how she was going to answer if they asked her how she was doing today.

[Bobby Bones]

How are you doing today?

[Lunchbox]

And she was like, I'm good. They're like, no, no, you gotta say it. Like, you gotta say something more and, like, sound genuine, like, you know, I'm doing good and I'm, you know, I'm just happy to prove to you guys, like, whatever and.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, this is crazy. Don't know what she's in for or what she's facing. But she did have a little legal pad, like, so she could take notes. That's pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we're glad you're back.

[Lunchbox]

It feels good to be back, man.

[Bobby Bones]

You went and you helped the wheels of justice turn.

[Lunchbox]

That's right. Not guilty.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can't joke like that.

[Keith Urban]

Remember?

[Bobby Bones]

That's not funny. That's not funny, man.

[Public Investing Ad Voice]

It's the best bits of the week

[Bobby Bones]

with Morgan Number two, I shared some

[Morgan]

exciting news over in the wedding category, talking about wedding dresses. But more than that, something happened when I went wedding dress shopping that absolutely shocked me and I'm kind of still in sticker shock, if you will.

[Bobby Bones]

Number four, Morgan on our show is getting married.

[Lunchbox]

When?

[Morgan]

Later this year.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you haven't said no. Okay. And you're getting married to who? Oh, you haven't said. It's all secret.

[Morgan]

His name's Brayden.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, she found her dress.

[Julie]

She said yes to the dress.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So how. What was that like? Was it one of the ones you'd already put aside or did you find another one?

[Morgan]

No, it was one of the ones that was in my original try on. It was actually one of the last dresses I tried on of the 50 of them and it was like a top contender. I went and tried on three of them again for a second time to see and it stood out above the rest and I was like, yeah, this is it.

[Bobby Bones]

So you went 50 to 3.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you. I know that's a lot. I would have thought like 50 to 12 and then 5. That's how I do T shirts. So you went to three. Were you afraid you wouldn't like them at all going back though? That'd also be a concern. Like I went through all these dresses and I'm going to do all and I'm not going to like any of the three that I picked.

[Morgan]

Yes, that was definitely part of it. And I even set a new appointment for a brand new place just in case because I was like, what if I don't like any of them? And you kind of analyze a lot of the photos and videos so there's kind of this whole process in your head. It almost makes it worse to have more options. I think I would have done a lot better had I just had three places and it just been like, these are the only dresses that exist.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But having too many options almost made it worse.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a Netflix effect.

[Julie]

Well, and so the first time you went, you had your some loved ones and friends with you, but then when you went back to finalize, who were you were alone or with somebody?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I was by myself. I just.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wow.

[Julie]

So that way she has no outside influence, which I think is good. She made the choice that she wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you drink again? No.

[Eddie]

Champagne?

[Morgan]

No. I was completely clear headed to make sure that I knew what I was thinking because I was all in my head about a whole lot of things and there's like also a lot of body image. Issues that come up, which I wasn't really prepared for. You're just, like, overanalyzing your entire physique and how you fit in things.

[Bobby Bones]

So of the three dresses, were they all from the exact same store? Were they at different stores?

[Morgan]

All three different stores.

[Bobby Bones]

And of the three, which one did you pick? The first store? The second store? The third store?

[Morgan]

It was the third store. It was my last stop, so it was the last one that I had tried on originally, too.

[Bobby Bones]

The very last one.

[Morgan]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

It sounds like an artist that comes in. It's like, man, I just wrote that song right before the album. Last song I wrote right before I had to record it, put on the album. So that means it's gonna be a hit.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I mean, after I did it, it was funny. The girl really helped me. She was like, go home today. And if you were to have purchased this, like, would you have regretted sliding your credit card? And I kind of thought with that process, and I was like, no, I want to buy it. I want to do this.

[Bobby Bones]

After the first two, were you a bit disappointed that you didn't love one of the two that you'd already put aside?

[Morgan]

Yes. Like, I didn't get a wow factor. I was just kind of like, meh, I don't feel like a bride. I just kind of feel like, okay, I'm going to a gala this weekend or something. It was like a different. I just didn't feel the same way in those.

[Bobby Bones]

And when you put your third one on, do you walk out with, like, a room full of mirrors? Like, is it.

[Julie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And so how did you feel when you walked out and saw the third one on you again?

[Morgan]

Oh, my whole body. Like, there was, like, this. This weird feeling where I was like, this is it. Like. And I hadn't felt that at all throughout the whole process. So it's weird that I finally did get it. But I. I started to get really giddy, and I was walking around, and I was really envisioning myself wearing the dress where we're going to be getting married, and it kind of. I started to see all the pieces finally come together.

[Julie]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Well, I mean, when she posted a video, like, a hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see the video of the dress?

[Eddie]

No. She did a bunch of, like, trying out a bunch of dresses.

[Julie]

Yeah. Not the one.

[Eddie]

Well, I don't know. I don't know if the one. Okay, okay. But when she was trying on the dress, I was like, oh, she found her dress. And the next One like, oh, she found. Oh, wait, so she's trying on a bunch of dresses. I thought they all look great. I don't know how you pick.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd be terrible at picking. I don't even like to try pants on. Like, I won't even try pants on at the store. I'll just be like, that's the size I wear and if it doesn't when I get home, so be it. Yeah, that's what I would do here. So good for you. You're happy with it?

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I mean, listen, it was a super fun process. I loved everything about it. Like, I really did feel like a princess. It was all wonderful. Up until the very end was kind of a moment where I was like, oh, and I had to tip on my wedding dress, guys.

[Julie]

Tip?

[Eddie]

Tip for what?

[Morgan]

The stylist who helped me.

[Julie]

How much?

[Bobby Bones]

That's probably a service, right? I, I, I don't know because we did talk about this with prom dresses,

[Julie]

I think, I can't remember. I feel like a listener wrote it.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe a wedding dress. Yeah.

[Julie]

Had some weird story and I feel like, yeah, we did go through this.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's the percentage you tip on a dress?

[Morgan]

Well, I don't know. Everything felt small compared to you're. When you're used to 20% of everything, it makes it really difficult. But a wedding dress is a lot more expensive of a 20%.

[Julie]

Yeah. Because 20% on a $20 meal versus a what a dress. That could likely be in the thousands.

[Eddie]

How much?

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, it was, it was around 2000 was my, my budget. I didn't want to go over 3,000 and that was even pushing it for me. But yeah, the dress was 2000.

[Bobby Bones]

So then you stayed in the budget. Well, with the tip.

[Julie]

Yeah. So you tipped 20% on the 2000?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I did. But I had some like, you know where you have some regrets after? I didn't have regrets about the dress. Regrets. I was like, did I do that too much? Did I like. But I panicked because they just hand it. And she was so helpful throughout the process. But I was like, surely she would be making like commission or something on this dress as well.

[Julie]

That's what I would think.

[Bobby Bones]

My mother in law owns a prom dress store, a massive one.

[Julie]

And do they tip there?

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of people do because of the service that you get. They still, I don't know about the percentage. I can ask her. I bet you it's not 20. Why? I would think the 20 is standard for waiting tables, which I did for a long time. Is we didn't make an hourly wage. Made like $2 an hour. So the 20% was because we didn't make an hourly wage. That was the even of minimum wage.

[Julie]

I know. I wonder what the hourly wages for bridal dress employees.

[Bobby Bones]

I can ask my mother in law and I get.

[Julie]

They are dedicating a lot of their time and attention to you, but that's what the appointment is for. You're supposed to have the attention.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask, what do people tip percentage wise when they buy a dress for a segment on show? And by the way, everybody check out Glory Prom in Vienne Oklahoma.

[Eddie]

Shout out it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, greatest service ever. You're gonna want to tip. You're gonna leave there and be like, I didn't tip enough. I'll see what she says. But if it's okay, I'll say this. If it stayed within your budget, even with tip, that's a win.

[Morgan]

And I did feel that way. Like, but it was just a. Like I was really appreciative of her because obviously her talent, she helped me figure it out. She was really good throughout the whole process. So, like, she deserved it. But it was still just like, dang, that's a couple hundred dollars.

[Eddie]

I'm confused. Like, what did she. Don't mean to sound like rude.

[Julie]

Wait, hold on. I want to know. Morgan's math. What do you think 20% of 2000 is? Well, no, she just said. I'm just curious.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, go ahead.

[Morgan]

Oh, well, I tipped. I think it ended up coming out to be with taxes and everything. It was like 300. What's the tip?

[Bobby Bones]

So you didn't tip her 20.

[Julie]

You didn't tip 20. You're good. So you save money. Yeah, not. I.

[Morgan]

Well, I hit 20 on the little thing.

[Julie]

I didn't do that well, maybe it wasn't quite too, th. You know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Eddie, what were you gonna say?

[Eddie]

So, like, what did she do? Like you're saying she helps pull a

[Julie]

lot of the dresses.

[Keith Urban]

She helps.

[Eddie]

She goes and like, let me.

[Bobby Bones]

It's literally serving. She's dedicated to you for whatever. I should let Morgan answer the question.

[Eddie]

She was there.

[Julie]

I mean, like fitting wise.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a bit in the, in the dress business myself. My mother in law. Okay, go ahead, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Yes. So you go in and they're basically your dedicated stylist for that appointment. They're your dedicated stylist for the entire process at that particular shop. So she pulled a bunch of dresses. She was helping me put them on. She was like tying me in them. She was there to help me like navigate all my thoughts throughout the process. She would go and pick ones based on what I was saying, what I was thinking. And then when I went back the second time, she was there again to also do it again a second time. So they are like really part of your whole process at that particular shop.

[Eddie]

That makes sense. I thought she was just going back like, okay, here's five more. Try these on.

[Bobby Bones]

And then she goes to somebody else.

[Eddie]

Right, right, right.

[Bobby Bones]

I would bet 20 is very high for that business because you get a wage. As soon as I get an answer back from my mother in law, I'll tell you guys. Yeah, but that's Morgan, be grateful you found your dress. You could afford it and you could afford the tip and it was all below budget. So I think that's a win.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was all definitely a win. And I'm really excited now to wear my dress, which I was nervous because you make any big purchase like that and you're like, oh, did I make a big mistake? Am I going to regret this? And I have no regrets. I'm very happy.

[Bobby Bones]

Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. When I get an answer, I'll let you guys know.

[Kalpen (Cal Penn)]

I'm the host of Irsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project Hail Mary Massive sci fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone, very far from Earth.

[Ray Porter]

I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections and it's like okay, yo yo yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.

[Eddie]

I was like no.

[Ray Porter]

At this point it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story. If I don't go through it, but there's places in this book that deeply, emotionally affected me. And I left it on the mic. That's great, because it served the story. People will say, like, oh, my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah, dude, me too.

[Kalpen (Cal Penn)]

Listen to Irsay the Audible and iHeart audiobook club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan]

You may have heard. Over the last few weeks, there's been a situation with our studio's cleaning lady. Eddie had learned that she was having some health problems and it was impacting her work, so we brought it to the show's attention, wanted to do something to help her, and this is the final result of all of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Number three. So we were able to send our cleaning lady off with some money, and so Eddie's gonna give us the big announcement. But what happened was we thought she was sick. So Eddie goes, let's do a GoFundMe. She went to the doctor. Doctor was like, we can't tell anything. So we couldn't go fund her. And then she was, I feel sick. I need to go home. So then she is going back to El Salvador.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie went around the room and took money. How much? Ray, Drum roll, please.

[Eddie]

Guys, it's pretty amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Who gave money?

[Eddie]

You gave money. Amy gave money. I gave money. We all gave $100. And then out of nowhere, everyone around the building's like, hey, let me know what you're doing, because I want to donate $100 from an engineer named Patrick.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, really?

[Eddie]

Yeah. He's like, I want to donate $100. Morgan, a hundred dollars. Scuba comes out of nowhere. $100. Rick and Julie Talbot, $100. Like, it was crazy. Everyone just started giving money.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Oh, you're right.

[Bobby Bones]

Not everyone. I even gave lunchbox 100 bucks yesterday in cash to go. If you want to just give this to her, you can. He didn't.

[Eddie]

And I didn't want to pressure him, but I did give him one more chance. Like, hey, guys, guys. I'm putting money in the card if anyone wants to just donate. Nobody said anything.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I gave him the extra hundred yesterday. But he didn't.

[Eddie]

No, Lunchbox did not, man.

[Lunchbox]

Well, here's the thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay.

[Lunchbox]

It was only Amy, Eddie, and Bobby, and I was like, okay, no one else is doing it. And then these dudes, Morgan and Scuba, go behind my back off air.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a behind your back thing.

[Lunchbox]

It's just like, if everybody's gonna do it, like, do it so we know. Like, I thought, okay, I'm in the majority. I'm not doing it.

[Bobby Bones]

And so that's why you didn't do it. It wasn't about you wanting to help somebody. No, no.

[Lunchbox]

I help plenty of people.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I mean?

[Lunchbox]

I have to just pick my. I can't donate to everybody. That's the thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. That's why. That's why I gave you the extra hundred bucks yesterday. To be like, hey, this is free money for you today. Here you go. Have it. If you want to donate, I can just push it over to Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

And I said, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, got it.

[Eddie]

Oh, I forgot. What? Abby also donated.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Really? Even after she threw that fit?

[Eddie]

She sure did.

[Julie]

It was not a fit.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't I wanted. Okay, so were you able to give her the cash? Yeah. Okay, drumroll again, please. How much was it?

[Eddie]

Guys? We sent her off to El Salvador to go figure out what her health problems are. Whatever she's going over there to do with $700 in cash.

[Bobby Bones]

What does she say?

[Eddie]

She cried. Of course she cried. And then she talked to Scuba and me and Rick, and she was like, I just. You guys are like family to me. She said. She said that basically, she has no family here. Her son moved to la, like, years. So it's just her. And since we've moved in this building, she said, I feel like I have family here, and I'm gonna miss you guys so much. Oh, isn't that so cool?

[Julie]

Eddie, that's really sweet. And the card you got her?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I said, hang in there.

[Julie]

It was a little cat hanging.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a cat hanging on something on a wire.

[Eddie]

And everyone wrote a little note. And. And Bobby, you had already left, so I signed your name for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, thank you.

[Eddie]

And I told her, everyone, like I told Amy, donated. Bobby donated my signature.

[Bobby Bones]

So my lawyer owe me in touch. I don't have a lawyer, but if I did, my favorite thing in the whole story, one is that we were able to help her. Right? It's always good to help people. Two, that she thought Scuba's name was Cuba Steve. And I think Cuba Steve is an excellent name. She thought every day I was broadcasting live to Cuba.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm like, no, it's Scuba Steve.

[Bobby Bones]

It's Cuba Steve. He does kind of dress like a Cuban sometimes.

[Eddie]

Flashy Hawaiian shirts.

[Bobby Bones]

You're Cuba Steve? Hell, yeah. Okay, so the final update is we

[Eddie]

sent her off to El Salvador. She lives this weekend with $700.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I saw her walking around yesterday And I was like, oh, I thought her last day was yesterday, but it was.

[Eddie]

But I text her to come back. I said, we have a little gift for you. Come back.

[Bobby Bones]

If lunchbox wanted to still get in, would there be a way for.

[Eddie]

I think I could text her to come back, say lunchbox wants something.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you just let us know. No pressure. Okay, but you just let us know.

[Lunchbox]

I'll think about it, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you just let. Just let us know.

[Julie]

I mean, good for him for not being. He's not going to be peer pressured, this guy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a good friend.

[Eddie]

Never worried about that.

[Julie]

Well. Well, it's just if you want to look at a pot, like, he's not going to be.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think there's. Yeah, I. I hear positive.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, what about all the other good I do. Let's not act like I don't do good.

[Eddie]

Well, we're talking about this right now, though, right?

[Lunchbox]

But I can't give to every cause.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. That's why I had the extra money to go. You can just pass this over. You're not losing anything, but it's your money. You do what you want.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Public Investing Ad Voice]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Morgan]

Number two, Keith Urban stopped by the studio, and yes, it always smells good when he leaves, but he has a new album coming out, Yacht rock vibes, which I had never heard of until we did this interview. And he also has new songs out. All exciting news and lots of music things with Keith Urban in studio number

[Bobby Bones]

two on the Bobby bones show Now, Keith Urban. There he is. Hello, Keith Urban. Hey, we're on now.

[Keith Urban]

Hi, Paul.

[Bobby Bones]

Keith and I were just starting to talk, and I was like, hold on. We got to go on the air.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. How you doing?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm. How are you doing? Good to see you. So I have questions. Question number one. So you put out these two songs today? Yeah, but I've heard the whole record.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, I sent it to you.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but have you announced the other songs yet? Because I was gonna be like, this is one I think is super cool, but if nobody knows what they are, I don't want to say it.

[Keith Urban]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Keith Urban]

We haven't announced the track listing yet, but these are definitely the first two official songs.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I say one of them, though? That isn't released. I really like you. Okay. I don't want to spoil it.

[Keith Urban]

What do I know? It's your show.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I know.

[Keith Urban]

Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

I like just the two of us. That's awesome.

[Keith Urban]

Do you. Oh, thank you.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

First of all, such a great song. Just the Two of Us.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So he did a whole album of yacht rock covers. And so the two songs we have now, which we've already. We played them before you came in. We go back in Summer Breeze.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I was going through the whole thing. I love a cover from, like, an artist I really like, and so. I really like you.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And so then Will Smith did Just the Two of Us. You ever hear that version where he raps over it?

[Keith Urban]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you did this one. Nobody knows about it yet. It's all that. That's awesome.

[Keith Urban]

Oh, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one. There's another one. I won't say any more songs, but I was drawn to a couple.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

You did one with my favorite artists of all time.

[Keith Urban]

There's some collabs on the record. There's actually three collabs on the record.

[Bobby Bones]

I know all three.

[Keith Urban]

I'm not saying Little Big Town, one of the Collapse.

[Bobby Bones]

Can't say the other ones.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Doobie brothers singer Michael McDonald.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And my favorite artist of all time.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

John Mayer.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. That's the three collabs on the record.

[Bobby Bones]

I won't say what that one is.

[Keith Urban]

And the song with. With Michael McDonald is the only original song on the record that's called We Go Back.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know that song. That makes sense. I thought I was just, like, not knowledgeable in music.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, no, It's a full covers record, except for this very first single, which is called We Go Back. And when we wrote it, I envisioned this, and we wrote it in 2020. So this song's been sitting around for six years waiting to find a home. And when we wrote it, I imagined Michael McDonald singing the chorus six years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you save a song for six years? Because obviously there's an affinity for it or you wouldn't keep saving.

[Keith Urban]

Wasn't that. I didn't even think I was saving it. I just think it didn't find it just didn't have a home to live in yet. And when we made this yacht rock record, my management said, man, it'd be great if you had a. You know, if you could do a song with Michael McDonald or somebody like that, Kenny Loggins or someone. And I said, oh, it's strange you say that because we wrote this song six years ago, imagining Michael McDonald singing the chorus. And they said, oh, can you play us the demo? So I played the demo, and Breland is one of the writers on the on the song. And so Breland's singing the chorus. And I said, but, you know, be great if Michael could sing the chorus. And they go, yeah, do you think you could do that for the record? And I'd already mixed, mastered, sequenced, and handed in the whole album to the label. And I'm like, for what album? They get this one.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Keith Urban]

What are you talking about? And they're like, well, you know, Michael McDonald, you know. And so I went, okay. So within 10 days, I put a session together with the full band, tracked the song. Had never met Michael. Met him through a mutual friend, sent him the song. He loved it. He put his vocal on it, we mixed it, we mastered it, we re sequenced it, resurfaced it, and got it all into the label in time. It was insane.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it still cool to you if you get something back from a Michael McDonald who's singing on a song that you wrote? Does that ever. Is it okay? I don't know if it ever surreal talking to him?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, yeah, the first, because I got his number and I called. He was just the sweetest guy on the planet. It was amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's cool. I. Why yacht rock? What is yacht rock to you?

[Keith Urban]

It's more of a. Well, the album's called Flow State. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Very summery looking too.

[Keith Urban]

And I think that kind of sums up what yacht rock is. I think it's. It's. It's not even just about music as it is just a flow state that you get to.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you play covers, these songs and live shows?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, yeah, we're gonna actually do some specific underplay shows where we do the album top to bottom as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't you and John Mayer do a crossroads together at one point?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, we did back in like 2011 or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Ages ago.

[Julie]

A long time.

[Keith Urban]

Long time.

[Bobby Bones]

His guitar playing, how is it different than yours? When you see him as an. What do you see that's different than you?

[Keith Urban]

He's got a. Well, he's changed so much since he started with Denco. You know, his. His palette has expanded huge. He's just a. He's just a great player. I. I can't. I think playing is all about just your life experiences and your essence of who you are coming through.

[Bobby Bones]

I got a lot of life experiences and a lot of essence. I can't play. Yeah, no, I mean never. I can do like cng.

[Keith Urban]

Well, that's your life experience.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That's my essence.

[Eddie]

Yeah. My essence is a good point.

[Keith Urban]

Need to get out more, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's A good point. And so what, like, who said, hey, let's do a cover record? Because, again, I'm sure you have so much going on in your brain all the time. I'm sure you got a hundred songs that you wrote that aren't covers. Why would you do a cover record?

[Keith Urban]

It took on a life of its own because I bought this amazing studio in town. Used to be called the Tracking Room.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been there. It's awesome.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you. And I've recorded there a lot over the years.

[Bobby Bones]

I was there with you.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, you were okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Just making sure you.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, no, but thank you. I'm glad you liked the studio.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, no, no, I was with you. Yeah. Okay.

[Keith Urban]

I'm explaining to the people listening.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it, got it, got it, got it.

[Keith Urban]

And I had just bought the studio, got it up and running, and had to go on tour. So I was frustrated, like, I couldn't record. And I thought it'd be fun to do something that is kind of just. Just a bit of fun. Just a bit of effortless fun, nothing serious. And I was walking around the house singing all these yacht rock songs, and I thought, oh, maybe we could do one or two of those just for fun, just to kind of break in the studio. And we put a session band together. I called up Dan Huff. He came in, and we did. I think we did. Well, I won't say the names of the songs, but we did two songs and we had such a great time. Dan's like, you got any more? I was like, okay. So we scheduled another session about, you know, a month later, and we did two or three more, and I thought, oh, well, maybe we've got an EP happening. That'd be fun. And then it just kept growing and growing, and before I knew it, we had whole album.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cool. Like, I enjoy listening to it. If I listen to new music, I gotta be in a different place. I gotta be listening harder when I listen to new music. Why unfamiliar? It's like I can turn the office on and watch it and relax and watch the office. And I would say get in a flow state watching the office. Same thing with songs I already know. Now, these are covers, but I already know the song. So now there's nothing unfamiliar to me except how you're doing them. So, like, I enjoy a covers record from an artist that I really like. I like. The record's awesome. I really wasn't gonna listen to it right before you came in, but I already listened to the whole thing. What was surprising to me, Was when we were texting. You were on a tour bus.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a. Not a plane.

[Keith Urban]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

That's surprising to me.

[Keith Urban]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

You're very rich.

[Keith Urban]

I got a tour bus.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you.

[Keith Urban]

And I like being on the bus sometimes. Really nice. I mean, we're playing in Indiana. The heck, it's perfect for the two of us.

[Bobby Bones]

Or it's a short plane ride.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. But anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, okay. I was just surprised. I was like, what? I was like, what's up? You're like, I'm on the bus. I'm like. I literally said, you're on the bus. How many. How many buses do you guys have? Do you roll out?

[Keith Urban]

It's. Well, we're not on a big tour right now. Like, that was last year. And I think the next big tour we do will next. Will be next year. So lean and mean right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Is your hair darker? What?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Does it look darker?

[Keith Urban]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe you just wash your hair?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. It's dark. Okay. That's what it is.

[Julie]

Yeah. Or less highlights?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Julie]

I don't want to, like, not have color.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

But his hair looks good. It's dark. I like it looks a little darker today. Maybe it's like a little wet. Just watch it.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Keith Urban]

It's definitely a radio question, isn't it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. No, we go wrong. Everybody's watching us too. Look at the cameras up here.

[Keith Urban]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I just, you know, I feel like I can say and notice some stuff about you.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Other people can't.

[Julie]

He's like, are you fresh out of the shower?

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

What time do you wake up in the morning?

[Keith Urban]

Usually 6:30.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[Keith Urban]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're not doing this, you still wake up that early?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Julie]

What time do you go to bed

[Bobby Bones]

as a rock star?

[Keith Urban]

10. 10:30.

[Eddie]

That's not rock.

[Bobby Bones]

We got to change that.

[Julie]

Yeah, but now he's.

[Keith Urban]

Believe me, that flips real quick and we start touring. Then It's a Tootle 10 sort of thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you get into tour shape before a tour while you train, like. Like your cardio or does that happen at all?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, I just. I try to maintain that while we're off the road.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean? What is your regimen?

[Keith Urban]

Just five days a week of sort of core and cardio and just staying. Getting good, good sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

You do a treadmill?

[Keith Urban]

No, I don't do treadmill.

[Bobby Bones]

You run down the road?

[Keith Urban]

No, I don't. I don't run, actually. I've never run. I don't like running. I. I used to stick on the back of my truck. You know, they have the, the. The miles that people have run. Yeah, I had a stick in the back of my truck that said 0.0. I don't run.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting.

[Keith Urban]

It's literally what it said.

[Julie]

Fun fact. I've seen you hike before, but I didn't say anything.

[Keith Urban]

Huh?

[Julie]

I've seen you hiking before, but I didn't say anything.

[Bobby Bones]

She walked by you. As we're during a hiking, don't say, we're not gonna run.

[Julie]

We're not gonna blow your spot. But it's a. It's a cool.

[Keith Urban]

It's a. Yeah.

[Julie]

I saw you hiking.

[Keith Urban]

I like going for long walks. It's good. Yeah, absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be fun if you ran and you played guitar. We saw you running down the road playing guitar like you were getting in shape.

[Keith Urban]

That would be the best way to work out. Treadmill.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Julie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What? You have headphones on, you're running and you're playing the guitar while you're running to get in shape. Yeah, that would be fun to see.

[Keith Urban]

I do have to pace a set list for that. Like, because you come out of the gate on fire and your adrenaline's rushing. I've learned not to do a vocally controlled song, second or third because it's

[Bobby Bones]

not going to happen because you don't have breath. You got to work your way back to.

[Keith Urban]

It's like you come out and then it kind of goes down and then it starts to peak back up again. And then once it goes back up, it'll go for hours and hours after that.

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of a weird thing to put out two songs on a Wednesday. Was there any strategy to that?

[Keith Urban]

What's better, three songs on a Thursday?

[Bobby Bones]

Great question. Wasn't prepared for that. Usually though, it's just a Friday.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Keith Urban]

We might have some sort of performance connection happening.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, There's a pop up show tonight. That's right. Do you say where it is?

[Keith Urban]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I mean, I don't know.

[Keith Urban]

If you want me to announce it now.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't. I don't know what I'm supposed to announce.

[Keith Urban]

I didn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I couldn't say the names of all the songs.

[Keith Urban]

It's insane. I actually don't know if I'm supposed to announce where we're playing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they can or no. Yeah, Whatever's listening on that rhymes for Shannon. Yeah.

[Julie]

Oh, oh, Cannery.

[Eddie]

I got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's good enough. We're playing at the Shannon on This pop up show. Are you playing these songs?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, the whole album, top to bottom.

[Bobby Bones]

So then people are going to know all the songs because they're going to record it and put it out.

[Keith Urban]

That's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I said one song and you wanted to punch me.

[Keith Urban]

I didn't want to punch you.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay.

[Keith Urban]

I never want to punch you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Keith Urban]

Who would want to punch that face?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so many people.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

So many people.

[Keith Urban]

Why? Why would they want to punch?

[Bobby Bones]

Mostly because I have a swee. Thank you.

[Keith Urban]

They're just jealous, really.

[Bobby Bones]

Face of a new father. What else? Anything else happening with you? Got any new tattoos?

[Keith Urban]

No new tattoos, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

But I got a really cool picture of us from when I first moved to town. You didn't know me yet. I didn't know you yet, but we were doing something brand new. And as I got my first tattoo. And that. Is that a bird? What's on the inside of your little.

[Keith Urban]

Oh, here? Yeah. Well, it's. What's curious about it is over the years, it's been constantly referred to as a phoenix, but it's actually a thunderbird.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. Even I call it a phoenix in one of my songs because thunderbird was too many syllables. But it's really. It's a Hopi Indian thunderbird.

[Bobby Bones]

The picture is you holding that out of me, holding out my first tattoo, my baby tattoo.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I got a bunch. Now I'm like you. I'm covered in them. You would think I was from an island. I have so many. You ever see, like, the Rock? He's got a full.

[Keith Urban]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I am. You ever watch wrestling?

[Keith Urban]

That's your resemblance to the Rock is the tattoos.

[Public Investing Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever watch wrestling at all?

[Keith Urban]

My dad used to watch it when I was in Australia and, you know, back in the day with like, Andre the Giant and all that lot.

[Bobby Bones]

That's old school.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, very old school.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I'm excited for the full. When are you putting the full record out?

[Keith Urban]

Haven't got a date yet, but it's definitely this summer. Next. Next few months, hopefully.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's called flow state because it just makes you feel. It's easy.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, because it's. You don't have to be on a boat for these yacht rock songs to connect, you know, it could be in a myriad of places, so it's really just a flow state record.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you seen the yacht rock documentary on hbo, Max?

[Keith Urban]

I have.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't it great?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that. That's where like, the Kenny loggins the Michael McDonald and how it really wasn't called yacht rock until some guys way later Correct. Named it that.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. They kind of defined the genre way,

[Bobby Bones]

way after the fact.

[Keith Urban]

Way after the fact. They just found this common thread between a lot of the music. But I also like the fact that recently they've referred to things as being knot rock as well. Songs that don't fall into the yacht.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you say not rock?

[Keith Urban]

Not rock. Yeah. N a u g. Right. The same spelling as yacht but not.

[Bobby Bones]

So not rock from the same era.

[Keith Urban]

Same era. So songs that might fit into the category but not really. So is it yacht rock or not rock? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But you did all yacht rock.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If you were to list your top five songs, one through five, your all time favorites. Want to walk me through one through five? Number one, your all time favorite song that you've cut and put out.

[Keith Urban]

That I've cut and put out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. Your songs. Top five Keith urban songs. Number one. I know it's hard. Yeah, I know. But we need it.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. What's yours?

[Bobby Bones]

Cat.

[Keith Urban]

The cat in the sweater song.

[Bobby Bones]

You'll think of me.

[Keith Urban]

I just love how you just called it cat and I knew what it was. Yeah, you'll think me. You went cat.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it that at our wedding.

[Keith Urban]

By the way. It is cat and not cap. It's the most common question I've been asked my entire career. Is it cap or a cat?

[Bobby Bones]

Take cat. So enunciate and just slightly sing that one line.

[Keith Urban]

Take your cat and leave.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not. You didn't enunciate enough. Really enunciate cat. Do it again.

[Keith Urban]

Take your cat and leave, my sweet.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. Now everybody knows.

[Eddie]

No doubt.

[Keith Urban]

Should have put a meow in there as well. Just to reseal the.

[Bobby Bones]

There we go again. And action.

[Keith Urban]

You did the. Take your cat. There you go. That's what we. That's what we should have had. That would have been a multi week number one. That was the difference.

[Julie]

Should have been very clear.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna put that at number two. I gotta do a different one as number one. God whispered your name. Oh, we played that at our wedding. My wife and I. Yeah. And God whispered your name.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Cat. Cat sounds working all your.

[Keith Urban]

It works in all of them.

[Bobby Bones]

That's number one.

[Keith Urban]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two. You'll think of me. I like all your slow stuff. I know people love and I know you love playing the. The high energy stuff. For me it's all Keith urban. Like it's like with kids. Yeah. I like all the the love songs,

[Keith Urban]

all the buckle polishes.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what that means.

[Keith Urban]

That's a slow song when you're dancing on the dance floor and it polishes the buckle because you're so close to your girl. Oh, that song's a buckle.

[Bobby Bones]

Has anybody heard of it?

[Eddie]

Never.

[Keith Urban]

Oh, yeah. Now you'll know what kind of song it is.

[Eddie]

I've definitely polished my buckle, though, Eddie.

[Julie]

You have.

[Eddie]

Not on the dance floor.

[Keith Urban]

Okay.

[Julie]

You haven't. You haven't.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me look. I gotta pull up the whole library here.

[Eddie]

What about break on me? I love break on me.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you.

[Julie]

What about blue ain't your color?

[Advertisement Voice]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

A little too fast for me.

[Keith Urban]

Too fast?

[Bobby Bones]

Dang, dude, that's. You did Leanne Rimes right there.

[Julie]

No, I didn't. I did. No, I was doing blue ain't your color. Do it again now. Okay. Blue, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

It

[Julie]

looks good on that.

[Morgan]

Neons.

[Julie]

Running. Don't ask.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what everybody sings tonight. I want to cry.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Why am I doing okay?

[Julie]

I'm telling you.

[Bobby Bones]

What is your favorite Keith Urban song?

[Keith Urban]

I don't. I honestly, I swear, I don't have a favorite. It changes a lot through tours when we. Sometimes I go back into the catalog and find songs we haven't done in a long time and I fall back in love with it like we do days go by. And I maybe love it more than I've ever loved it in my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Keith Urban]

I don't know. It's got a muscular potency and truth to it, that's just timeless and it's really fun to play.

[Bobby Bones]

Stupid boy.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. Love playing that.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have any hits?

[Keith Urban]

I'm really lucky because when I write a set list out, there isn't one song that I have to do that I don't like. Not one. And I know so many artists that are like, all right, let's do that one and get it over with. I don't have any of those, but

[Bobby Bones]

do you have any you don't put on the list that are big hits?

[Keith Urban]

Well, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like what?

[Keith Urban]

Well, it depends. I mean, there's a lot of songs that we. I mean, we haven't done tonight. Tonight I want to cry. We haven't done that in years. In forever.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one. I'd probably leave. If they're like, he's not doing it, I'm out.

[Keith Urban]

Well, there's also so many. So there's only so many slow songs you can do in a two hour set. So if you've got cop Car and messed up as me and stupid boy and. I mean, you got a lot of slow songs at some point.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I suggest something?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

An entire tour of just buckle polishing songs from Keith Urban.

[Julie]

Oh, that's the name of the tour.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Buckle polishing all night long. Keith Urban polishes your buckles all night long.

[Keith Urban]

It's mostly there.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Which would you like us to play? We go back or Summer Breeze Fully. We already. We already titled with them a little bit.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. Well, being such a Michael fan, I mean, you can play a bit if we go back.

[Bobby Bones]

We already played a bit. Do you want the whole thing?

[Keith Urban]

Oh, sure, if you want. Dude, get to hear Michael.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're doing the pop up show tonight?

[Keith Urban]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's pretty exciting. Do you like playing the smaller rooms occasionally?

[Keith Urban]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Keith Urban]

Just the intimacy and the, like, the proximity. If. If the crowd could be like a foot from my face, I would be thrilled.

[Bobby Bones]

And if people want to buy tickets, what can you.

[Keith Urban]

I think you just got to get them at the door. It's a. It's a first come kind of deal. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you're in Nashville and. Did he say where it was?

[Julie]

He did.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Cannery Ballroom.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And you can get tickets tonight at the door. And this is Keith Urban. And the music's really good.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna do a new original album this year, though, then? Since you're putting this out, I'll start

[Keith Urban]

writing at some point for that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, sometime before I. Because I don't know how much longer I got here. Honestly. I want to be, like, a main person in a video. Like, I want to, like, a significant role. I've never been in a video purposefully. I've been asked, like, here, do this. I want to be a. When you have, like, a good role for me, I want it.

[Keith Urban]

So when you imagine that, what do you see? What would be the idea?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like it in videos where people break down and talk for a second and, like, the music's going on, then it stops and I'm like, yeah, get you. Get your papers now. Oh, my God, I'm a newsy now.

[Keith Urban]

Keith Ovens.

[Bobby Bones]

Get your papers. Watch them in concert. I don't know. You're black and white. I don't know why I went back to, like, the 50s. But if that ever comes up, think of me.

[Keith Urban]

Oh, I will.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll be a new music video.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah. I'll see it crystal clear.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Keith Urban]

What colors the sky in your world, Bobby?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Colorblind significantly. So I honestly don't think we even know if we see the same colors.

[Keith Urban]

Ah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we have no way to see through another person's eyes.

[Keith Urban]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So you may. Your red may be my blue, but every descriptor you've ever heard of red actually matches my descriptors from blue. So I don't know, we could at

[Keith Urban]

least point to your hat and say, that's red, right?

[Bobby Bones]

That is correct.

[Keith Urban]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

For a lot of the reason is that on the tags, it tells me it's red. My whole life I've had to, like, organize clothes by colors.

[Keith Urban]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Red's pretty good, though. I know red when it gets blue, green, black, it all looks the same, really. And I still can't play a guitar even with all that life experience.

[Keith Urban]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. All right, there he is. Two songs out now. Pop up show tonight. If you're in Nashville, stream the two songs and this summer we'll get the whole album. Always love seeing you. Thanks for coming by. There he is.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

The wonderfully talented. The. The. Do you smell good today?

[Julie]

He does.

[Eddie]

Oh, did you smell him?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm smell. Smell blind. Smell of blind.

[Morgan]

It's.

[Julie]

It smells.

[Morgan]

We've switched it up, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah, this one's a little different. Stronger.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you guys serious?

[Lunchbox]

No, I don't.

[Julie]

I wouldn't say, like, it's a. It's a different scent, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you change scents during the year? Do you have like a fall scent and a spring scent?

[Keith Urban]

No, not. Not for. Not seasonal based, but just. I like blending things. They'll take several different things.

[Bobby Bones]

Now that you're known for smelling good, do you feel like now you always have to smell good because that's your kind of your thing?

[Keith Urban]

No, I just like smelling good. My dad always did, so that's how I grew up. Yeah, my dad always smelled good. Even though he was wearing. I think he just wore Brute. That was it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all I wore when I wore cologne. It was a great bottle of Brute. First clone ever bought at Walmart. It was awesome.

[Keith Urban]

It works.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Julie]

So you do your own concoction?

[Keith Urban]

Yeah, I put several things together.

[Bobby Bones]

You do?

[Julie]

Yeah, that's what he just said. He mixes it up.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought he, like does a different one every day. Mixes it up. I didn't know he layer it.

[Julie]

He probably layered it.

[Bobby Bones]

He's got beakers in his house.

[Eddie]

And you're a chemist.

[Julie]

No, probably just squirt. Squirt.

[Keith Urban]

No, it's good because if you layer then you sort of. It becomes your own thing.

[Julie]

That's why I've never smelled what I'm smelling right now. It's good. I just. It's a. It's a new scent.

[Keith Urban]

Yeah.

[Julie]

Or something.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there it is. Smell hour. The Smell minute with Keith Urban. All right, there he is, Keith Urban, everybody. Nice job.

[Keith Urban]

Thank you, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

[Kalpen (Cal Penn)]

hey everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook project, Hail Mary Massive sci fi adventure about survival and science and what happens when you wake up alone, very far from Earth.

[Ray Porter]

I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections and it's like, okay, yo yo yo, is this indulgent? And I really thought about it.

[Eddie]

I was like, no.

[Ray Porter]

At this point it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it. But there's places in this book that that deeply, emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic. That's great because it served the story. People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end. It's like, yeah dude, me too.

[Kalpen (Cal Penn)]

Listen to Irsay the Audible and I Heart Audiobook Book Club on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan]

Finally, I think the tee off can be put to bed kind of in a way. I don't know that it will ever truly go away after this whole situation, but we did get the test results back for Eddie's testosterone levels, so we shared that. But then something else came up with those test results, so there's just a whole bunch happening. I'm putting all of the segments into one so you kind of get the final update, but it will make you laugh There's a lot of laughs in here and a lot of sad moments.

[Bobby Bones]

Number one. We have the results, everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Eddie]

It's time.

[Bobby Bones]

We have the results. So for all those listening all over the world, weeks and weeks ago, Lunchbox and Eddie were fighting about who had more testosterone, and then that turned into who had more libido, and that turned and just kept going. Who had more arm hair? So we got a paramedic up here. He drew the blood of both Lunchbox and Eddie. Lunchbox's results came back almost instantaneously with a score of 503. And how do you feel about that, Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

I feel great.

[Eddie]

It's below average, but.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's actually above average, but it's not as high as I expected.

[Julie]

I mean, the reason why it's above average is the three.

[Bobby Bones]

It's definitely as average as you can get. Just about. But that's good, right? It's not like he's 25 and has that he's older guy now. You know, Eddie's came back inconclusive, which scared him.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, okay. I thought you said again. I'm like, again.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Julie]

The first time now you had to get more blood.

[Eddie]

So the paramedic.

[Bobby Bones]

Paramedic, paramedic. Came back up, redrew the blood from Eddie. We waited, waited. We waited. I now have the results.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I. You want the three numbers in it, or do you want.

[Julie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, what? We don't know what order.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like Price is Right. You got to put them in now. Anything From, I believe 5 to 11 is.

[Julie]

Yeah, but 11's seriously super high, I would say.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Julie]

Oh, 11, 5 to 900.

[Eddie]

But I still win.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, even if you're exploding of testosterone.

[Julie]

Yeah, but I would go get that checked.

[Bobby Bones]

The three numbers in Eddie's testosterone are 2, Nine, and three.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. 392.

[Eddie]

But. But here's the deal. If it's nine, 392. Is 900 safe?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's 900. I mean, you're high, but 900's high. But not. Not unsafe, not unhealthy high. That's like.

[Eddie]

That's got to be it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like full libido.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Manly man.

[Julie]

So if that's the case, Lunchbox lost for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

If that's the case. So let's play prices, Right? The numbers that you guys have are 2, 2, 9, and 3. What do you think his results are? Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

392. Nailed it.

[Bobby Bones]

That is incorrect. It is not 392.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah? I got 923. Okay, 923.

[Bobby Bones]

That is not quite right.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not 9, 20, 30.

[Eddie]

Well, maybe 9 32. 9 32.

[Bobby Bones]

So we don't get two guesses. So Lunchbox with a testosterone of 503. Eddie has a testosterone of 293.

[Julie]

We shouldn't laugh. Wait,

[Morgan]

this is Eddie's health.

[Lunchbox]

Who's got that tea?

[Bobby Bones]

Are we sure? Are we sure they did this to themselves?

[Julie]

Is this, like, dangerously low?

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Lunchbox]

That's way below average. Way below average.

[Julie]

You shouldn't laugh.

[Eddie]

What is it again?

[Julie]

No, I'm sure there are many, many men out there that have 290.

[Bobby Bones]

It's 293. Eddie's testosterone.

[Eddie]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Is 293.

[Eddie]

That's not good. I got to call it out.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie, show your boobs, dude. You're a chick.

[Eddie]

I'm not. That doesn't mean I'm a chick. Lunchbox

[Julie]

Eddie's is closer to mine than it is Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but you're on yams. That's not fair. You're on yams. This backfired.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh. I mean, you got dominated bull.

[Julie]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you like me to read some about this?

[Eddie]

Yes. Like, am I in trouble? These people are laughing. How's my health?

[Bobby Bones]

To be fair, this is a bit that you guys wanted to do. We're not just finding something about your health and laughing, right,

[Eddie]

Bobby? You're not laughing. You're fine. Thank you. Dude. You're professional. You're being a professional about this.

[Julie]

Biting his.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a doctor. Maybe not the right kind of doctor, but I understand this is serious.

[Eddie]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

And he's all mad that we're laughing. When you guys read my results, he was laughing and piling on, but then he gets even lower, and he's like, don't laugh, guys. It's not funny.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Not funny.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox. Yours is. Yours was average. Mine could be dangerous.

[Lunchbox]

But you were laughing.

[Julie]

It's not cancer.

[Eddie]

You don't know that woman.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't they do it? Okay, Can I please, doctor?

[Julie]

Oh, gosh.

[Lunchbox]

They had to redo it because they couldn't find it the first time.

[Eddie]

Is that right? Is that why?

[Bobby Bones]

I think what happened was there was a mistake at the lab.

[Julie]

Okay. Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Julie]

Oh, wait. So I won because all along I said that I thought Lunchbox was gonna have Higher.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox did win, so the whole bit wasn't who's Is mid low.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just who's higher?

[Julie]

Okay, in all serious. No, sis, no.

[Eddie]

Oh, are you done laughing? You're gonna be serious now?

[Julie]

Business in all seriousness.

[Eddie]

Well, then be serious. Amy.

[Julie]

What is. What does need to do?

[Eddie]

Dude, don't laugh. Dude, I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm laughing at Amy laughing so hard.

[Eddie]

This is my health.

[Julie]

What I'm laughing at. Lunch rocks. Laughing.

[Eddie]

Mike's not laughing. Thank you, Mike.

[Lunchbox]

Amy laughing.

[Keith Urban]

Can I.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I read you?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of the stuff they sent.

[Keith Urban]

Please.

[Bobby Bones]

A total testosterone level of 293 is considered low or on the borderline of low. As many medical guidelines like the American Urological association define low testosterone as below 300. The standard range is 300 to a thousand. So 293.

[Eddie]

Oh, I barely missed.

[Bobby Bones]

It is below the commonly accepted healthy threshold. You barely missed the low part of mid.

[Eddie]

By like seven.

[Bobby Bones]

But you kept saying him going three over you. Don't be. This is about you, okay?

[Eddie]

No, I'm not even worried about the competition.

[Bobby Bones]

A doctor will look for symptoms like low sex drive.

[Eddie]

No.

[Julie]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Very high.

[Bobby Bones]

Now we think you're lying.

[Ray Porter]

It's very high.

[Lunchbox]

Now you're lying, Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Low T. Fatigue, tired, reduced muscle mass.

[Eddie]

Little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Or depression now. N.

[Eddie]

Two minutes ago.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're not in a danger zone. See, levels below 200 are considered more alarming. What to do, Eddie, for your low testosterone.

[Eddie]

Come on, hit me.

[Julie]

Me.

[Bobby Bones]

Make an appointment with a doctor. Interpret these results. Optimize the lifestyle. There are things that you should do also. Poor sleep impacts hormone production. You need regular, intense exercise, especially strength Training a healthy diet and losing excess weight can help raise levels.

[Eddie]

Okay,

[Bobby Bones]

so in the competition, you lost.

[Eddie]

That's fine. Who cares about that?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you would have had. You would have had.

[Eddie]

I would have celebrated a win, but I don't care.

[Keith Urban]

The loss.

[Bobby Bones]

Loss.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, you do low T. I mean, you're not even. You didn't lose. You're low T, man.

[Eddie]

No, I lost.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, cuz like 4,499would have been losing 293. We're worried about you, buddy.

[Eddie]

I'm worried about myself. It's not good. All right, doctor's appointment. Calling him a day.

[Lunchbox]

Are you going to the gynecologist or man?

[Bobby Bones]

Doctor, we're about to get Eddie's new testosterone results, so I'm gonna give a. Just a quick recap. These two guys have been fighting about who has more testosterone for ages. So I Said, why don't we just get someone? They'll draw some blood. We'll get real numbers. So they come up, they take blood from Lunchbox, they take blood from Eddie. The next day, boop. Lunchbox pops through 503, perfectly average. Boom. Healthy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's comes back inconclusive. Next day, inconclusive. Weird. And so everybody's like, what's happening? And so we don't know if there's a mess up in the lab. Mess up, who knows? And so the guy comes back again. The paramedic takes more blood from Eddie. Eddie's result comes in. He was at 293. Unhealthily low. Unhealthily low. Because 300 is the low part of healthy. Under 300 is low. Then we find out that number came from Eddie's first batch that they said was inconclusive.

[Eddie]

Yeah. How is that possible?

[Bobby Bones]

If someone had told Eddie that there was heat involved, it could have messed up the blood, correct? Correct. So they went back and did the second blood draw from you. I have not seen these results.

[Eddie]

This is wonderful.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy has them. She would not even tell me.

[Eddie]

I would first like to say thank you for considering this as an appeal.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's a fair appeal. Most times I wouldn't. We'd move on from the bit. But even Lunchbox, you have to agree, we had to pay attention to this.

[Lunchbox]

Not really.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, fair enough.

[Julie]

Now, I mean, we had the blood drawn already, so why not?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we didn't have to redo anything else.

[Julie]

We just used no extra work.

[Lunchbox]

Work?

[Julie]

It already been submitted to the lab. We were just waiting for the results.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you expecting, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Oh, I mean, better. Like, obviously better because the first one was inconclusive. Like, of course there was heat. Exposed to heat. It's not going to be a right reading. So this is going to be better.

[Julie]

I mean, the heat was a theory,

[Lunchbox]

but theory, that was all. Just Eddie's theory. That was not Dr. That's what the

[Julie]

guy drawing my blood, he said, I wonder if.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that what he said I want?

[Eddie]

No, he said. The lab said. Says that they think that Pete was part of it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know who to believe. And his memory's fading. Lotusosterone?

[Julie]

Yeah. It's like brain fog. Big time.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you been feeling as exhausted in the morning?

[Eddie]

No, actually, I've got a lot of energy. You do?

[Keith Urban]

Lately, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How's the libido?

[Eddie]

Yeah, a little bit. Libido's perfect. It's great.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All the time.

[Eddie]

Out of control sometimes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I don't know. I don't know the numbers. I don't know how you want to set this up.

[Julie]

I. I mean, I feel like we should just get to it.

[Eddie]

Let's go, Amy.

[Julie]

Because I mean, it's either going to be higher than 293 or it's going to be lower.

[Eddie]

Or it could be the exact same.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Or it's the exact same.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it the exact same, Amy?

[Julie]

It is not. Yes, it is not. Yes, baby, it is not.

[Eddie]

See, this is why the appellate court exists.

[Julie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Based on Amy's reaction. Because I do not know.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, her smile tells me it's lower.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, her smile.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If I'm playing poker against Amy, I think it's lower.

[Lunchbox]

One person.

[Julie]

I'm telling you, it's like Eddie wanted this. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

She wants to laugh so hard right now. She is ready to laugh.

[Eddie]

She's setting it up like it's lower.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what is Eddie's new. It could easily be second batch of testosterone results. The number is.

[Julie]

It could easily be.

[Eddie]

Amy, stop talking. What's the number?

[Julie]

The number is like 295.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that what it is?

[Julie]

But it's not. What is it? It's 280 85.

[Lunchbox]

You're Mr. 285. You're Mr. 285 represent.

[Eddie]

I. I don't know who to believe here.

[Lunchbox]

Oh my God.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you can believe either one of them.

[Julie]

Now. I. I will say the paperwork is hard to read, cuz there was a lot of numbers, but.

[Eddie]

Oh, maybe you're reading the wrong number.

[Bobby Bones]

I am not. Not.

[Julie]

I got confirmation. It's 285.

[Eddie]

What are some of the other numbers?

[Lunchbox]

That heat helps you, man.

[Julie]

Two, eight and five are the numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

So you didn't go down drastically. But dude, if you don't like fix it, you're going to be at zero soon.

[Julie]

You're trending down, you're dropping by the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Your stock is slowly diminishing.

[Eddie]

What is happening here?

[Lunchbox]

Oh my gosh. We knew this from the beginning, Eddie.

[Julie]

No, we didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you going to?

[Julie]

Well, I mean, we were guessing, but we didn't know. I. I thought honestly, it could back.

[Morgan]

Could.

[Julie]

It could come back. He begged for it and.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you going to the doctor?

[Eddie]

It's weird. Yeah, I talked to my wife about it. Get an appointment, but right now I'm just doing squats and trying to like.

[Lunchbox]

It's not working, man. You went down.

[Eddie]

No, no, that was before. I didn't do squats when I took that blood test.

[Bobby Bones]

But even a month of squats is not gonna do it. That. You're talking about years.

[Eddie]

Here's my question.

[Keith Urban]

Okay?

[Eddie]

How serious is this? Is this like.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a paramedic. They're. Dude, this is medical.

[Julie]

No, no, no.

[Eddie]

I'm not talking about the number. I'm talking about the low t. It's

[Julie]

not life or death. It's quality of life. Like you. You should right now. Like, it seems as though you're going to continue to decline.

[Eddie]

So the cars. The car's still running.

[Julie]

The car's still running. But your. Your. Your tire is a little flat, so

[Eddie]

I put some air in the tire.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's what we're saying. Okay. I would though, too. If you're going to the doctor, I would do two things. I would get your testosterone elevated and also have your ovaries checked.

[Eddie]

It's not funny, man.

[Julie]

What if he should get a hysterectomy?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, interesting.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I just don't.

[Julie]

Like.

[Eddie]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't.

[Eddie]

How is the. The one exposed to heat higher than this one? I just don't get it.

[Bobby Bones]

If left untreated, it may lead to severe long term risks including a higher likelihood of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and overall reduced life expectancy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Julie]

Well, yeah, okay, so we are talking life expectancy, but I mean, not at this. Like you. You can redeem yourself.

[Bobby Bones]

Bone health, too. Osteoporosis.

[Julie]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

My mom has weak bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Mental well being. It says mental well being because Lunchbox will make fun of you. Oh. So definitely. Yeah, yeah, it says that.

[Julie]

I mean, are we still gonna believe his libido? Amazing.

[Eddie]

Yes, it is. It's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Prove it. Come here.

[Eddie]

No. Gosh, this is. It's not good.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry, dude. So his new number is 285. Yep.

[Lunchbox]

That's his new name.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not near. You're not even as high as Pitbull.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, 305.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Amy's bringing you the information.

[Eddie]

What?

[Julie]

Making this up?

[Eddie]

I can't see that, Amy.

[Julie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

His vision is so bad.

[Keith Urban]

Here, hold on.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

Okay, current results and flag. What does the flag mean?

[Lunchbox]

It means 285 adult male.

[Eddie]

Reference interval is based on population of healthy.

[Bobby Bones]

It said when in the report. It said male question mark.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they weren't sure.

[Eddie]

Even a man. There's too many numbers here, man. I don't know. I'll have to send that to the doctor.

[Julie]

Confusing. Your old numbers right there. 293.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Julie]

The sound of a seatbelt.

[Lunchbox]

It's one of the most important sounds in our car.

[Bobby Bones]

It means everyone is ready and everyone is safe.

[Lunchbox]

The more our kids see us put on our seatbelts, the more natural it is for them to put theirs on too. Make it a priority.

[Bobby Bones]

Buckle up every time.
