1. Drafting the Best “C” Song Titles

Segment Start: [03:26]

  • California sweep: “California Love” (Tupac), “California Dreamin’”, “California Girls”

  • Amy: “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” (Elton John) [08:57]
  • Eddie: “Cha Cha Slide” [07:57]

Segment Start: [12:12]

  • Has anti-nausea meds, tried an IV, and even a suppository [23:41]

Story:
Morgan claims to have seen and filmed a UFO at Disney’s Epcot.

• “This bright thing, like, shoot into the sky... Just a blinding light.” [30:11]
• Multiple witnesses, object “blips off” quickly, not a drone or satellite. [30:23]
• Video scrutinized by the team; they remain skeptical, likening the light to “a lantern” or “inspection drone.” [33:06]
• “If you had it shooting off, I think we’d be more prone to believe you.” – Lunchbox [31:23]

Memorable:

• “If anyone were to believe her, it’d be you.” – Eddie, to Lunchbox [31:33]
• “You sound nuts, a little wacko.” – Lunchbox [34:43]

• “So it’s not your wife... Who’s Tim?” [35:20]
• Lunchbox insists Tim’s just a fellow traveler he met hiking, who snapped the pic, but the team zeroes in on the odd details and strange denials.
• “What’s more believable, the UFO or Tim?” – Eddie [36:22]

Insight:
Perfect mix of playful skepticism and comedic conspiracy as everyone probes each other’s stories and motives.

  • The song he flinched at but was wrong: “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking” [62:34]

Memorable Banter:

  • $500 suggested (“that’s not even $100 a day”) [74:42]

  • Morgan: “Do something kind—maybe not $500, but at least a gesture.” [73:36]
  • Bobby: “If you want them to ever do this again, you may have to pay or give a gesture. It’s not about the past, it’s about future willingness.” [75:01]

Memorable:

That's always super fun for me to do. Just sit here and talk with them about life with you guys. Also kind of joining in when you send me DMs and share your thoughts and feelings.

I'm a weirdo.

[Abby]

Yeah, no, don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't. Why? That's a. I thought Copperhead Road. Yeah. Just creeping on the down low. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Copperhead Road would have been solid. Didn't think about that one, Steve Earl.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know that it would have been solid.

[Lunchbox]

You don't think Copperhead Row would have been Copperhead Road?

Oh, that's not gonna win. Let's go.

[Eddie]

It's the best. Best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

What is your definition of a rich life? That was the question that was posed to all of us. There was a guy on TikTok who shared his three reasons to prove he's in his rich life. And so we all thought about ours and shared them and I think we all have very different definitions of a rich life.

[Eddie]

Number six.

[Lunchbox]

All right, Eddie, what'd you see on TikTok?

[Eddie]

So this guy posted. It was just a video of, like, the beach, and he wrote, a rich life, to me is. And he wrote hot wife. He said, happy kids and the bills are paid.

[Lunchbox]

So those are the three terms for him that meant rich life. Not you're rich.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie]

But mean, his life feels like he's. Like he's living a rich life.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so let's do this. Then we'll go around the room. You only get three, and it doesn't have to be single words, but three little statements. Give me your rich life. Morgan, I'm going to go to you first.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Well, first thing that came to my mind was lots of animals. I just want to own a zoo full of animals.

[Lunchbox]

No describing them. Okay, Say the. Say the lines. Go ahead.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Lots of animals.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

The ability to travel and people who love me.

[Lunchbox]

That's a rich life.

[Eddie]

That's a rich life.

[Lunchbox]

Now. Now I'm curious. Lots of animals. What does that mean?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Oh, like, I want a zoo full of animals. I want horses and pigs and chickens and dogs and cats. I want to.

[Lunchbox]

You want to farm?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

More so than just dogs?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, all of it.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I mean, I'd love to, like, run a rescue.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be cool.

[Lunchbox]

Little House on the Prairie over there.

[Eddie]

You got to take care of all those animals. Like, you're good to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Heck, yeah, I am.

[Lunchbox]

And she's got money to travel, so she's going to pay for people to take care of them while she's gone. That's a lot. Okay, lunchbox. What do you have?

[Amy]

Money.

[Scuba Steve]

Lots of money.

[Lunchbox]

Popularity is money. Lots of money. One statement.

[Scuba Steve]

That's one statement.

[Lunchbox]

So, money. Lots of money.

[Scuba Steve]

I wanted to make sure you knew money. And then lots of money.

[Lunchbox]

Money, comma, lots of money. Popularity.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes. You have to have a lot of friends and a big social circle.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Access. Access to cool events, sporting events, anything you want to go to, but that comes with money also, so.

[Lunchbox]

Access money. Access. Popularity.

[Scuba Steve]

Yep.

[Eddie]

I mean, that's literally a rich life.

[Scuba Steve]

That is a rich life. So many experiences, people to do it with. I mean, it's great.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, Eddie, what is yours?

[Eddie]

Okay, Mine is good friends and family. I gotta have those. Health is important.

[Scuba Steve]

I didn't think about health.

[Eddie]

Gotta be healthy. And then this one's a little weird, but I thought about it for a while. Contentment.

[Lunchbox]

Boy, that's just a big one, huh?

[Eddie]

Being content.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

With how your life is at that moment.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead. Like, so.

[Eddie]

So, like, content, like, when you're like.

[Lunchbox]

What does that mean to you? I know what contentment means to me.

[Eddie]

It means be happy with what's going on in your life at the moment. Doesn't mean don't work harder to change your life or do things that are going to change your life. But be happy with where your life is at that moment. If it's the beginning of something, be happy with the beginning. It could get better. If it's the worst of something, think like, all right, it's going to get better from here, you know? But be happy in that moment. That's rich life, man.

[Lunchbox]

It kind of sounds like you're just saying that to sound nice.

[Scuba Steve]

No, no, no. That seems.

[Eddie]

I've literally tried to live my life that way. Like, I don't wake up every day being like, oh, man, I'm so happy at this moment. But I do be.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what?

[Eddie]

Enjoy this moment because it's going to change. Something's going to change. So be content with what's happening at this moment.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And that's a rich life.

[Lunchbox]

I get it. It's just. It's very, very vague. That's like just writing happiness.

[Eddie]

Okay, fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Money.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. You get to say what you want.

[Scuba Steve]

To say, but it feels weird. But yeah, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Mine are sleeping through the night.

[Eddie]

I mean, they are.

[Lunchbox]

Which until you don't sleep, you do not understand or realize how much your life is bad if you don't sleep. It sucks. That's one. Number two, auto paying bills without worry. I was always scared to put my bills on auto pay because I would be afraid they would try to auto pay and I wouldn't have it there and then stuff would bounce. So just auto paying bills without worry.

[Eddie]

That's kind of like the TikTok guy. Bills are paid.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. This is different, though, because you could pay your bills and, like, look at the bill and then pay it, but if you just put it on autopay and not have to worry, like, that was one of the moments in my life where I was like, I made it. The two. The two times I felt like I made it in life early on were one, when I got to auto pay my bills, and two, when I needed batteries and there were extra batteries that haven't been opened yet.

[Eddie]

That's a good feeling.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Because my whole life it's, well, I need batteries. Well, crap, I'll just take them out of something else and put them into this. And then you got Three or four things around the house don't have batteries in them. But that was when I was like, oh, I think I'm making it. I have extra batteries in a package just sitting in a drawer. That. That's rich life. I didn't make my list, but the extra batteries. Rich life. And then the other one is Arkansas wins.

[Blake Shelton]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Like so much of my life is dictated with Arkansas sports and that's terrible.

[Eddie]

Because you have no control over that.

[Lunchbox]

I have no control over the sleeping.

[Bobby Bones]

Thing either, I don't think.

[Lunchbox]

But yeah, I have no control over Arkansas sports. But if Arkansas football sucks, I suck.

[Bobby Bones]

You're poor. Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Poor life.

[Lunchbox]

Let me tell you, the cup does not run it over there. But those are mine. Bills on autopay, sleeping through the night and Arkansas wins.

[Eddie]

I thought it was interesting just how different people just defy the term rich life.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. For Arkansas football, you should be content, right, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Yeah, man. Just be. Hey, enjoy the season as it is.

[Lunchbox]

I am not content with Arkansas football. We've only won like 8, 9 games. Less than 8 games in season. One time since like 2012. Sucks. I'm already sad the season haven't started yet. Okay, rich life. Good job. Everybody who feels like they're in their rich life.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I'm close to it. I don't have a farm yet.

[Lunchbox]

I think you're the most close to it of all of us.

[Bobby Bones]

Really? Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

What were yours again?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Yeah, mine was the ability to travel, people who love me and a lot of animals.

[Eddie]

Oh, she has a boyfriend, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And she has.

[Bobby Bones]

I have some animals.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. If we would ask her three weeks ago, the boyfriend wouldn't have been around.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

The people who love me, not a boy.

[Lunchbox]

Like, Arkansas's not really winning. I'm not sleeping through the night, but my bills are on auto pay. I got one out of the three. I'm doing pretty good.

[Eddie]

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

See mintmobile.com here's what I love about Impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious. Meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body. And it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not. Or it's. And it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without the guilt of meat. Impossible. Let you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

[Morgan]

We're getting back to all of it, and the best way to start is together.

[Eddie]

Watch the Today show weekday mornings at 7am on NBC.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

You may notice in some of these segments that Amy isn't talking at all. That's because she hasn't been here all week. She hasn't been feeling well. She did call into the show and share a lot of her ailments that she's been going through and kind of how rough she sounds. So this is Amy calling into the show to share why she hasn't been in all week.

[Lunchbox]

Number five, we have Amy on the phone. Amy is not here again today because. Because Amy is sick. So first. What's wrong with you, Amy?

[Amy]

Where do you want me to start?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Oh, my God.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, geez.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

We need to talk to Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Who's this dude?

[Lunchbox]

Who's the dude on the phone? We need Amy who works on the show.

[Amy]

Okay. I'll start with, like, the least fun part.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Which is who knew, like, switching this body wash situation gave me. I don't know if y' all can handle this.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean, switching a body wash? We don't know. I know nothing about this.

[Amy]

Okay, I know. I don't know if you can handle what I'm about to say, and I can't even say it, but give it to us. Okay. So I have a yeast infection.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting one.

[Eddie]

We can handle it.

[Scuba Steve]

That's. That's bad.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

From what? Too much bread?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, beer.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, beer.

[Amy]

I think, like, switching a different soap. She said. And, like, the ph changes something. Anyway, that's neither here nor there, other than it's painful and I'm not getting sleep, which I think is impacting my health, you know?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, your ability to get better, for sure.

[Amy]

And what I have. Well, because, like, my body is fighting multiple things, and then there's like, the nausea and whatever. Viral. It's like a. Just a viral. Typical flu situation. It's not covet. I tested for that, but I have now something for the. I have to go pick up prescriptions, but something for the yeast infection.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're good.

[Lunchbox]

We get that part.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we get that part. What else?

[Scuba Steve]

I've been there.

[Lunchbox]

Yep, we got it.

[Amy]

Then Tylenol, Tamiflu. I don't know. I have a list that you got to get from the store, but I did an IV to try to help. Like, I don't know when. What's going on with my.

[Lunchbox]

Where'd you put the iv?

[Amy]

But I think it's just. Oh, speaking of, I have an anti nausea suppository.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Is. Amy's trying to gross us out. I feel like she's just doing this on purpose now because all this stuff's real, and that sucks, and I feel sorry for you, but she's like. And not only that, I had to drink my own pee right before I came on the air.

[Amy]

Well, I forgot about that part till you said, where did you put the iv?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, honestly, I feel like Amy's dying.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, she sounds like.

[Eddie]

She sounds terrible.

[Scuba Steve]

And then there's one more thing.

[Lunchbox]

Well, she was. We were on vacation, and so she was off for a week, and then we come back, and she was here, obviously. Then she left, and they were like, amy's just left. She's throwing up. She texted me. She's like, I had to leave. Throwing up.

[Amy]

I called Scuba after, and my throat had started to close up. But I really think. What was going on in the bathroom.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's a good point.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

That made me.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a really good point.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, I don't understand. Go ahead.

[Amy]

Wait, you don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

He had.

[Eddie]

I don't think. I don't think he went to the bathroom.

[Scuba Steve]

It was, like, backed up sewage. It smelled so bad.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. Yeah, I don't leave my desk.

[Scuba Steve]

It was so awful.

[Lunchbox]

So, Amy. Go ahead.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I think she just died.

[Amy]

Like, I already felt. No, I'm just supposed to limit my docking, but I already felt sick in the minute I walked in to the bathroom because of the sewage or something. It was like, projectile vomit. Like, I couldn't help it, because I think I was already just on that verge of not feeling great. And then that smell just sent me. Like, I texted Morgan about it, and she was like, I don't. I went in there, and I don't smell anything.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan has no smell or taste because.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Of COVID This is where the benefit.

[Amy]

Comes for me, Bobby. I mean, I hope y' all fix that. I don't. I just wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Amy]

Okay. Because I was like. I just wanted everyone to know, like, that wasn't me.

[Lunchbox]

You think everybody thought you left that smelling like that? They're like, boy.

[Eddie]

That was bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, I say, hey, y', all, I'm here. I'm sick. I'm leaving. And then y' all go in the bathroom like, I was so bad.

[Eddie]

It's a good point.

[Lunchbox]

This is. Amy's on with us if you just happen to turn us on live. And she's sick. She did text me yesterday, listen to the show, and she was like, hey, show sounds good.

[Eddie]

Oh, good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she was listening to the show.

[Eddie]

It's always good to hear.

[Amy]

I was like, Which I guess is a little bit of a bummer. Cause I'm not like, you want it to sound worse?

[Lunchbox]

Cause you're not here. Like, we can't go on without you.

[Amy]

Right. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so this is what I think. I think you're out all week.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, no.

[Lunchbox]

I think you're out all week. There's no way that you're back with this. You're just.

[Amy]

Well, I was trying to find a way to, like, if the doctor told me it was strep, which she didn't, but if she did, I was gonna be like, how can we pin this on lunchbox? Because it seems like anytime someone gets strep throat. But then I hadn't been around him at all.

[Lunchbox]

It sounds like she's about to cry.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Kids are, like, back in school. I don't know. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so one quick question as far as an update, and you can tell us more about it later, but your punishment was to watch Unreal, the wrestling series over the past week before you got sick. And so you're not a big wrestling fan. You made fun of me for being a wrestling fan after watching that series. What are your thoughts?

[Amy]

Well, I texted you that I didn't know if it was the nyquil or, like, my for real feelings, but I kind of want to go to WrestleMania.

[Eddie]

Sounds like she's crying again.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Amy]

I did cry. I did cry watching it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy]

Cody, when. When they went and bought Cody's dad's Rolex that he had to sell and gave it back to him because he needed money.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, that. Like, I'm sort of emotional right now thinking about it. I'm not joking.

[Lunchbox]

So. Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream. Dusty Rhodes is Cody Rhodes dad. And Dusty Rhodes had to sell his Rolex because he needed money. And Triple H, after Cody won the championship, went and bought the Rolex back and tell him and gave it to him, and it was on camera. It was emotional.

[Amy]

I still don't. I still don't. I'm not saying I get it at all, because I don't. Because it's, like, all scripted. Like, so it's like even one of the girl wrestlers, like, this isn't a sport because it's like she goes, I don't even know what I get assigned, what I'm gonna do. It's not like you work, you know, and can win something. They have to choose that you're gonna win.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

What do you think about that?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I don't think it's a Sport. Because it is predetermined. So I'm not sure. It's like if you were to watch a. A freaking Broadway production and they were just crushing their bodies, like, doing super athletic things. Have you seen Chelsea Green? The episode with Chelsea Green yet?

[Amy]

She. The one that has her face all over her outfit?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It made me really like her, and I didn't know much about her, and I was. I'm a massive fan.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah, because she went from always being the loser in the dumpster to winning.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So, I mean, which is big because that means they. They chose her.

[Lunchbox]

It means she worked hard, they liked what she was doing. She was always the. Yeah. Okay, well. So do you like the series?

[Amy]

I do. I. I don't. I mean, what can I say? I don't know if I'm admitting that I was wrong, but. Can we check in when I'm.

[Lunchbox]

We'll check in when you're better.

[Amy]

Yeah, when I'm not, like, totally bored and, like, on medicine. You know what I mean?

[Lunchbox]

All good. Okay, well, go back to being sick. And we will. We won't call. I don't think we'll call you tomorrow or anything. We'll let you heal up, but let us know if anything's on your mind. All right. There she is.

[Eddie]

Get well, Amy.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, Amy. Feel better. We really. We miss you around here.

[Lunchbox]

He lunchbox has been so happy you're gone. Okay.

[Eddie]

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

[Bobby Bones]

Guys.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I finally saw one, and I know you probably think I'm about to say bear, which I did see on my Montana trip. You can go watch that reel on my Instagram page, but, no, I finally saw a ufo. I've seen potential ones in the past where I'm like, oh, is that a ufo?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I don't know what this is. This time when I was in Florida, I saw a UFO and I caught it on video. So nobody can tell me that I didn't see what I saw. And the guys are still going to do that, which you're about to hear.

[Eddie]

Number four.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Morgan says she has footage of a UFO that she saw with her own eyes.

[Scuba Steve]

Here we go. Okay, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

What happened, Morgan?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Okay, so we are at Disney, and we are watching the fireworks show at Epcot. We see this bright thing, like, shoot into the sky, and it is so. So, like, just a blinding light. You can barely see anything behind it.

[Lunchbox]

During the fireworks?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

No, right before we're sitting there, we're just waiting for him to come on it's like 15 minutes before the show starts. And it's just sitting there for like five minutes. And we're like, I get some footage of it. Cuz I'm like, surely that's not what I think it is. And then all of a sudden, it just.

[Lunchbox]

It's gone, like, quicker than you've ever seen an airplane.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Yeah, it was not an airplane.

[Lunchbox]

Sure. It's not a drone.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

It's not a drone. You know why? Because I looked up, I googled, because some of those fireworks shows use drones. And like, maybe they're setting it up. Epcot doesn't use any. There's no drones whatsoever to even set up the show. And I was like, okay, it's not a drone, it's not a satellite. It wasn't moving. It was just sitting there in one place for several minutes. And it was bright.

[Lunchbox]

Did anybody else say anything?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

There was other. We were sitting on a patio with a bunch of different people and everybody was looking to it like, what is that? What's happening in the sky? Like, you would have thought it was like a street light. That's how bright it. And all of us, as soon as it, like, shot away, everybody's like, what just happened? What's going on? We all felt the same way.

[Lunchbox]

Do you have it shooting away?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

No, because it was up there for like five to 10 minutes.

[Lunchbox]

If you had it shooting away, I think we could. I'm not a hater in this. I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Cool.

[Lunchbox]

I think maybe you have something.

[Eddie]

If anyone were to believe her, it'd be you.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Not that I think it's aliens, but.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Over the ocean, I mean, it was over water.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, like a lake? Like a lake, yeah. Ocean, maybe. I believe, because I think aliens are in the ocean.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure, you said that.

[Lunchbox]

But if it's over a lake, I don't know many that are down there with catfish.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I mean, you're also in Florida. The ocean is nearby.

[Eddie]

When you say it's shot off, what do you mean? Like, how do you. Like, did you see the line go?

[Lunchbox]

You.

[Eddie]

Or did you.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

It felt like it just blipped off.

[Lunchbox]

Before you saw that, where were you on believing UFOs? UAPs?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I mean, I. I don't know that I don't have the information to say they don't exist.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, now after seeing it, has it shifted you a bit?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Oh, yeah. I'm like, okay, well, that is abnormal. That's definitely not something that happens every single day.

[Lunchbox]

What about the time that. Didn't you have like, aliens in your Ring, camera.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

We thought it could be because they kept floating everywhere.

[Lunchbox]

And it turns out, yeah, there were orbs.

[Eddie]

It was like condensation.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, somebody thought water.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Somebody said they were ghosts. I wasn't drinking. No, somebody had said that there was orbs, like ghosts that could happen with orbs. That's what we thought the orbs were.

[Lunchbox]

Do you happen to have the video on your phone? Can you show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I do.

[Lunchbox]

Can you show? Eddie, can you show Lunchbox?

[Scuba Steve]

Let me see this.

[Lunchbox]

So.

[Scuba Steve]

So you guys were perfectly sober at Disney and you saw this, right?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I want to say perfectly sober, but hold on, hold on.

[Lunchbox]

This happened to Eddie's brother.

[Eddie]

Every time my brother tells the story, he's like, I was drinking. And there you go, man.

[Scuba Steve]

That's a. That's a telltale sign.

[Lunchbox]

I think I would lie to say I was perfectly sober.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Scuba Steve]

Fireworks.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

This is before the fireworks.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. What's it look like to you?

[Scuba Steve]

It looks like a drone to me. It's just moving slowly.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Maybe drones don't light up like a light, you know?

[Scuba Steve]

You know every single drone in the world, you have no idea.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I've seen a lot of drones.

[Scuba Steve]

There's probably something they're checking the sky for the fireworks about to start.

[Eddie]

Oh, inspection.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that sounds right.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Okay, but why didn't it pop up then when I googled and I went on a deep dive trying to find this?

[Eddie]

They're not going to tell you, Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

Look at it.

[Eddie]

Let me see. Come on, Morgan.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, it looks like a slow moving drone.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

It's not moving, though. It's staying in the sky the same position the entire time.

[Scuba Steve]

You know, drones can.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, what's tough is it. It's night and you don't get to see it dart off. It just looks like a light up in the sky.

[Eddie]

It looks like a lantern.

[Lunchbox]

What do you think's in it?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I mean, I think. I think there was aliens coming. I'm not kidding, guys.

[Scuba Steve]

It's.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I don't think you guys understand.

[Bobby Bones]

I wasn't.

[Lunchbox]

The only one else says is. Because when I say it, I'm like, how do these guys not believe? But when she's saying it, I'm like, you're crazy.

[Scuba Steve]

So cuckoo.

[Eddie]

Don't you hear aliens kind of being like, let's check out this Disney World place.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I mean, they could. They could be like, there's all these people here. Why are they wanting to be here? We got to study the little people on here. What are they doing?

[Scuba Steve]

They're like, hurry up, get over There. The fireworks are about to start.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. So if you had this shooting off, I think we would be more prone to believe you. I think, though, the fact that you are in Florida and there is a lot of water around, it could be, like, the government testing stuff up there as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure.

[Lunchbox]

It doesn't have to be Disney World.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Yeah, Just. I don't know, man. It was up there for so long, and it was staying still. It was bright, and then you just see it, like, blip off.

[Lunchbox]

We can't see that part, so it's hard for us. It's often, like I've said, if I was abducted in the middle of the night and I was in an alien spacecraft, and they probed me and did all kinds of stuff. I came back. I'm like, I don't know. Should I tell people this? They're not gonna believe I don't have any proof.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

You just sound nuts, a little wacko. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you should. Okay, let's. Let's get you and Eddie's brother together.

[Eddie]

You guys can compare stories, have some drinks.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

This is real.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

There's another small conspiracy thing happening here, also from Morgan, and it's about Lunchbox's vacation, where Lunchbox said he went to London with his wife. And what do you think, Morgan?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Well, I'm a little confused because I asked him to send me a picture from his vacation for a blog, and he sends me a picture of him, and in the picture is this. These man's hairy knees. So, like, did he go with his wife or was he by himself?

[Abby]

Is there.

[Lunchbox]

Explain what's happening? Explain where the knees are.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

What was the bottom of the photo? So, like, obviously this person who was taking the photo didn't get their knees out of the photo, but they're very clearly male knees.

[Lunchbox]

How do you take a picture and have your knees in a picture?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

You're taking, like, when he took it horizontal, so they're in the bottom. His knee. Like, he's sitting there and his knees are in the bottom.

[Lunchbox]

So it's like, leaning back.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like, he's sitting.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Like he's trying to take a picture of Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Who was this dude who took a picture of you?

[Scuba Steve]

That was some guy named Tim.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

But I didn't. I didn't know there was.

[Lunchbox]

You have lying face right now?

[Scuba Steve]

No, No, I didn't realize his knees were in the photo.

[Lunchbox]

Does it look like he's lying right now?

[Blake Shelton]

A little bit, yeah.

[Eddie]

You're smiling.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you smiling?

[Scuba Steve]

Like, I. I'm like. I'M what? Knees were in the photo. I don't know anything.

[Lunchbox]

Vacation with my wife and Tim. Tim?

[Scuba Steve]

No, no, Tim.

[Bobby Bones]

Who is Tim?

[Scuba Steve]

Tim is a guy that I ran into on the side of the mountain. And my wife didn't make it to the top of the mountain, and Tim was hiking the mountain. So we finished the last little bit together and he said, do you want me to take a picture of you?

[Lunchbox]

What's more believable, the UFO or Tim, I'm right now.

[Eddie]

Ufo.

[Lunchbox]

I think somebody's keeping something from us.

[Scuba Steve]

I got a picture. I got a picture with Tim.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure you do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm sure Tim's a person. Tim's laying on the ground taking a picture of you standing up.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

There's some weird stuff going on here.

[Lunchbox]

Whatever's ha, dude, whatever you're into, we're good.

[Scuba Steve]

No, no, there's nothing that I'm into.

[Eddie]

Sitting there.

[Lunchbox]

He's laying on the ground.

[Scuba Steve]

What are you talking about? He's laying on his back. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Look.

[Lunchbox]

And you're like, standing over Tim?

[Scuba Steve]

No, no, dude, no, no. Here's the deal. I didn't have anybody to take a picture of me at the top of the mountain, and Tim happened to be there, and so he was like, would you like me to take a photo? And I said, yeah, dude, that'd be awesome. And I didn't know he got his knees in the photo.

[Lunchbox]

We're not judging any relationship you'd like.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Scuba Steve]

It's not a.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Did you guys go across a pond and have a pineapple with you or.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, did Tim have a pineapple?

[Scuba Steve]

You guys, Tim, he was. He had just gotten off work and it was a beautiful day, so he decided to go for a hike.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, this is so cool.

[Lunchbox]

This is crap.

[Eddie]

This is weird.

[Scuba Steve]

And Tim's got two kids. He just. He's a.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

You know, when you tell more about this story, we more think it's a lie, right?

[Scuba Steve]

Well, no.

[Lunchbox]

Was that in his bio?

[Scuba Steve]

No.

[Lunchbox]

You guys met him over there?

[Eddie]

No.

[Scuba Steve]

When you're hiking, when you're walking a mountain, when you're walking the little bit that I walked up with him and the rest of the way down with him, you learn a lot about his life.

[Lunchbox]

Why was he laying down in that picture, standing over the top of him?

[Scuba Steve]

Because he's trying to get it. He's trying to get the view. I guess I didn't realize he's.

[Lunchbox]

Now. Now he admits he was like, I've.

[Eddie]

Never given my camera to someone. Said, hey, can you take a picture and then them lay down?

[Scuba Steve]

I didn't say will you take a picture? Ask me if you want me to take a picture.

[Lunchbox]

Can we call Tim?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean we probably find him.

[Eddie]

It's on the app.

[Scuba Steve]

You know what's cool is that he is retiring at the end of this month.

[Lunchbox]

I'm sure if I come see you guys. Huh?

[Scuba Steve]

No, I don't think he's gonna come see me. I don't know. I don't know how to get a hold of him.

[Lunchbox]

There's two weird stories for today. Yeah, Morgan saw UFO and Lunchbox has a new friend.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm not even have audio of him asking.

[Lunchbox]

I'm sure you have audio and video doing all this.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't want to hear that. We're all good.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Thank you, Morgan.

Here's what I love about impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body and it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not or it's and it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Bobby has been trying to pick an NFL team to root for this season and for the rest of his life. He's never had an NFL team, so this week he not only narrowed it down to two teams, but somebody on the show came in and gave a whole presentation of why he should join their preferred NFL team.

[Lunchbox]

Number three, Abby is going to try to convince me to be a Broncos fan. We have a PowerPoint up here.

[Eddie]

Pretty cool.

[Lunchbox]

She's up doing a TED talk in her Denver Broncos long sleeve T shirt.

[Abby]

Let's go. Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

So if you're new to the show growing up, I Never had a favorite NFL team. Massive sports fan, massive NFL fan, but lived in Arkansas, didn't have a pro team. Everybody loved the Cowboys when I was a kid. Jerry Jones played for the. For Arkansas is the owner. But they were so good in the 90s that I. I didn't jump on because I didn't want to be a bandwagon fan. So I've never had, like, a team. So I'm down to two teams. I'm either going to be a die hard Broncos fan or a die hard Carolina Panthers fan. And Abby today, who grew up a Broncos fan, wants to present this to me. Abby, what do you want to say before you get started here?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Abby]

Well, for one thing, the Broncos are the most fun team to cheer for.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, there we have it. What a great start. Okay, what does your first slide say?

[Abby]

Okay, so it says why Bobby should be a Denver Broncos fan or why he should cheer for the Broncos. And it had a little Bronco on there. So, first off, the legacy in history, it was founded in 1960. Okay, so we're not new. We're not new to this stuff. Three super bowl championships. There was 1 in 97, 98, and 2015. And guess what? 2026 could be next. Okay, you never know. There's eight AFC championships, and then they're consistently competitive. Kind of like you. Right?

[Lunchbox]

There's a picture of John Elway holding up the Broncos.

[Abby]

And that was their. Yeah, their first super bowl win, right?

[Lunchbox]

97.

[Abby]

Yeah. Yes, 97.

[Scuba Steve]

Hey, why'd you say who it was? I wanted to see if she knew.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she didn't know.

[Abby]

No, my dad and brother, they got a. His autograph, like, back when he was, like, playing.

[Lunchbox]

No way.

[Abby]

For them. Yeah, like, they waited outside.

[Lunchbox]

Can I have it? If I can have it? I.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Abby]

I don't know. Ooh, I'll see where it is. I did ask my dad. He doesn't know where it is.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, next slide.

[Abby]

So legendary player is John Elway. So he was the hall of Fame quarterback.

[Scuba Steve]

This is the slideshow.

[Lunchbox]

Great.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Abby]

Okay, I'm just trying to tell you there's legendary players on here.

[Lunchbox]

Abby, can I say you go first.

[Bobby Bones]

You just do.

[Abby]

You go. What?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Abby]

Don't you want a team that has legendary players? They all continue to be legends. Okay, so there's Terrell Davis, and he was a Super bowl mvp. And then you got Peyton Manning, who is a Tennessee guy. So don't you want to support the Tennessee guy?

[Lunchbox]

I'm not a Tennessee guy. I live here now. I'M an Arkansas guy.

[Abby]

That's true. But, like, we're in Tennessee now, and you got Von Miller. He is the Super Bowl 50 MVP. And look at these pictures. Aren't they.

[Lunchbox]

Wow, look at the pictures.

[Abby]

That's John Elway right there.

[Lunchbox]

I've seen way better TED talks. I'll be honest.

[Abby]

Okay, next. Now this is the exciting part. Next.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, hopefully there are more pictures. Oh, there's a picture of fans.

[Abby]

Fan culture. Now we are known as Broncos country. Do you want to be part of Broncos country?

[Lunchbox]

Well, if you're known as it, they're.

[Abby]

Sold out home games since 1970. That's over 50 years.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool.

[Abby]

Every game sold out, like, for 50 years. Like, what other team has that?

[Lunchbox]

Maybe the Packers. That's good. That's cool.

[Abby]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Abby]

So we are loud, we are loyal, and we are passionate, and we are also super nice and welcoming for people that want to come jump on board to the bandwagon.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I don't want to be a bandwagon.

[Abby]

You know what?

[Lunchbox]

I don't want to be a bandwagon.

[Abby]

I know. Just like this year.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Abby]

You know, just for this year.

[Bobby Bones]

Of you, you know.

[Abby]

Okay, now this is the most exciting part, because look at that. That is Mile High Stadium.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

That is a picture of Mile High Stadium.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. You guys.

[Abby]

Okay, that could be your view or.

[Lunchbox]

You could see Mile High advantage.

[Abby]

Oh, and you know why? Because they are already, like, trained in the altitude. So when other players come, it's really hard for them.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's why you should root for them. Okay.

[Abby]

Because they already have a home field advantage. Yeah. And it's one of the toughest stadiums. And that's why. Because of the altitude. But look how fun that looks. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. So fun.

[Lunchbox]

That's good.

[Abby]

Next one.

[Scuba Steve]

Look how beautiful.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Abby]

Look how beautiful the sunset. Like, that's the view you look for.

[Eddie]

That's a pretty picture.

[Scuba Steve]

That is why you should be a fan. The sunset.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Hey, can I ask you a question? While you were putting this together, were you like, this is for sure gonna get them?

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. All right, good. I think it's the same picture, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

It was earlier.

[Eddie]

Technical, difficult.

[Abby]

Sorry. But look how cool. It's a closer up view. And you could be right there.

[Lunchbox]

I could be right there or on the field.

[Abby]

So guess who that is. Bo Nicks.

[Lunchbox]

I have a signed helmet from Bo Nicks right now.

[Abby]

And that's why it's even cooler because you have assigned one.

[Lunchbox]

Did you know Bo Nicks's dad was the head coach at Henderson State. No, Patrick.

[Eddie]

Where you went to school.

[Lunchbox]

Where I was at school, that's right.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Abby]

Well, then another reason. Another reason.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Scuba Steve]

That's not our PowerPoint.

[Abby]

So basically, yeah, there's young talent, and they're building that next era. Football, man.

[Lunchbox]

We love young talent. We love building new eras.

[Abby]

Okay. And then strong defense, and then there's dynamic playmakers.

[Lunchbox]

I felt like you just looked up terms and wrote them down.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean? Abby?

[Abby]

What does that mean?

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean?

[Abby]

They make some good plays.

[Lunchbox]

Like, who's the best. Who's the best defensive player on the Broncos?

[Abby]

That's not on the slide.

[Lunchbox]

No, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

It's asking, like.

[Lunchbox]

Like, one defensive player of the year last year. One defensive player of the year last year.

[Abby]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

You don't know? Okay, go ahead.

[Abby]

This is about you. This is about you becoming a fan. It's thrilling. There's thrilling rivalries.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, we love thrilling rivalries.

[Eddie]

That's fine.

[Scuba Steve]

We hate.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, we hate boring rivalries.

[Abby]

We want their rivals.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Abby]

The Chiefs. That's like a. Oh, boy.

[Lunchbox]

We got a lot of text on this one.

[Abby]

This one is basically. There's a lot.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, this is Broncos versus Panthers. The two teams and I. Now this. Now we're talking.

[Abby]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

This is what you should have led with.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Abby]

Oh, really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Abby]

Okay, so, like, yeah, you're down between Broncos and Panthers, so let's talk about the difference. So the Broncos have a commanding 72 overall record against them. Okay. And in the regular season, they led six to two. They have. The Panthers have never beaten the Broncos on the road.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. Okay. It's a mile high advantage.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I've seen some pictures, and there's a heck of an advantage.

[Eddie]

Sunset's really nice.

[Lunchbox]

We stole from somebody's Instagram, but it was awesome.

[Abby]

Isn't that boring, though, like, to be a Carolina Panthers fan? They never beat the Broncos away. Okay, that just seems kind of boring.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Abby]

And then, like, the Super Bowl, 50, it was those two teams, which is kind of ironic that those are the ones you're picking from. But guess who came out the winner in the end? The Broncos.

[Scuba Steve]

Who was MVP then?

[Abby]

That was Terrell Owens.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, right, 50.

[Lunchbox]

Was it Von Miller?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, Von Miller.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was in slide 2.

[Lunchbox]

Calling our own slides back.

[Abby]

Okay, go back to slide two.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I see a hater. A hater. Point down at the bottom. It's about the Panthers.

[Abby]

It was. I had to throw in, like, a little.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Abby]

The Panthers had a 512 record in the 2024 season, finishing third in the NFC south and failing to qualify for the playoffs. Didn't even make it. So then, look, you just. What would you do at the end of the season if that happened?

[Eddie]

That's a question for you, Bobby. What would you do?

[Bobby Bones]

What would I do? If I'm laying at home?

[Lunchbox]

Stay on the show with the bedroom floor. Cause I'm lonely. You know that song, Abby? And the only way to make it is sleep with a man for a little bit of money and. Okay.

[Abby]

Who is that?

[Lunchbox]

City High.

[Abby]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. All right, next up, City High. Mile High Stadium is gone. In and out of lockdown. Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that Bobby?

[Lunchbox]

That's not me. That's a bad AI version of me.

[Abby]

I really tried. It kind of looks like you, but that's you in a Broncos uniform.

[Scuba Steve]

But, oh, man, I see that one point is really going to get you mad.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. It says, join Broncos country, Bobby. Go and read it out.

[Abby]

Okay. So be a part of a rich tradition, experience Broncos passion.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Abby]

Cheer for history, heart and future.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Abby]

Greatest fans in the country.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Abby]

Greatest football fans in the country.

[Scuba Steve]

This is it.

[Abby]

Not. And then a really cool mascot that will get you. Why?

[Eddie]

That's a Bronco.

[Lunchbox]

I like it.

[Abby]

Yeah, they're cool. It's like a bucking.

[Lunchbox]

And then say. Then say it.

[Abby]

Let's ride. Oh, and you know what a fun fact is, the Denver Airport, there's like all these conspiracy theories.

[Lunchbox]

We've talked about it before.

[Abby]

Like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Abby]

So then you could go check them out.

[Lunchbox]

When you go there, man, that picture of me is not me.

[Abby]

I thought about that. I really. I was like, can you make a better one? It just kept getting worse.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Is that the last slide?

[Abby]

Yeah, it is.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, there it is. Abby presented. Presented a reason why I should be a Broncos fan.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

That is a slideshow with a lot of data.

[Bobby Bones]

It is. Yep.

[Scuba Steve]

That was.

[Lunchbox]

Didn't really hit the passion button, but it didn't like a lot of data.

[Scuba Steve]

You didn't even show us the really cool mascot.

[Lunchbox]

I've seen the mascot. You're all good.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Thank you for doing that extra work.

[Abby]

Yeah. So how did. Did it persuade you anyway?

[Eddie]

What do you think, man?

[Bobby Bones]

After all that, like, the pictures are.

[Abby]

Supposed to do the passion.

[Lunchbox]

I'm really looking for a stadium that has some sort advantage.

[Eddie]

This is it.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I know. It's really.

[Lunchbox]

It's really pushing me to start. I can't make a commitment today.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But I will factor in all the data that you took from the Internet in a Google search and then use.

[Abby]

My boyfriend helped me.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, nice.

[Abby]

I was like, hey, this for you.

[Lunchbox]

There she is. Abby, everybody. Thank you, Abby. I'll definitely put this and look at it again tonight.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Abby]

Well, you all send it to you.

[Eddie]

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

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Number two, Blake Shelton zoomed in this week. It's always so much fun to hear from him because he cracks hilarious jokes all the time, and he even talked about how really normal he is, from mowing the yard to his skincare routine and his shampoo that he uses. All of it's gonna make you laugh pretty much the entire interview.

[Eddie]

Number two on the Bobby Bones show now, Blake Shelton.

[Lunchbox]

Blake, what's up, buddy? Hey, Bobby. I don't know why. That's just funny.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know why.

[Lunchbox]

I just feel like there's always something. Like he's ready to pounce on me with something.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not true.

[Blake Shelton]

I'm beyond that phase of my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I don't believe it. Hey, how many of those animals behind you did you kill?

[Blake Shelton]

I bought all of these at cracker Barrel. They were having a little clearance. Look at our clothes. I know that this is on the radio, but for the people at home, I. We both have our own patches.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. What. What's your pat? Mine's a Chicago cubs patch, though. What's your patch?

[Blake Shelton]

I've got my ranch logo I thought I'd match. You know, for the interview today, I got my cap and then the patch on my shirt. Look like I work here, don't I?

[Lunchbox]

What's the deal with the logo? Did you have somebody come in and design that for you, or where did that. That logo come from, man?

[Blake Shelton]

I got a friend that used to do merchandise for me named Joe Borsky. He lives there in Nashville. And. And one year, just as a gift, he made me a box of caps and had somebody draw up this logo, and I loved it so much. That was, like 15 years ago, I think, and I just kept it. And now it's like, look behind me here on the wall. It's everywhere.

[Lunchbox]

I want to talk about your Vegas residency. What are you going to do there?

[Blake Shelton]

I'm going to sing.

[Lunchbox]

Well, what's your thing? Like, what's your thing going to be? Because these Vegas residency shows are awesome because it's in a. It's. I wouldn't say a small. But it's intimate because you're right on the stage. Like these. These places are built for amazing, really Personal shows. So what. What are you going to do at yours?

[Blake Shelton]

Well, I, you know, we did it earlier this, this year, pretty much last year, but I think it was February and March. We did a short residency at the, at the Coliseum there at Caesars, and, and which is where we're going to be doing it again. And it's funny because when I signed on to do it, something in my brain, my mind was like, wow, the Coliseum, like, it's going to be huge. You know, it sounds so big. I'd never been there before, and. And then what? You know, then I found out later, it, you know, it's like you just said, it's a smaller theater. I don't know how many exactly. It holds maybe three or four thousand people. I really don't even know. But I, I loved it for that reason because it is more of an intimate performance. By the end of the night, I mean, I literally recognize people in the audience. It's like you've been singing to them all night. You know, who's. Which couple's in a fight and who's already drunk and like, you're, you're that close to them and, and a lot of actual conversations and things, you know, end up happening from. From the stage, which you can never do, you know, in an arena or, you know, at a festival or something. So for that reason, it's been one of my favorite experiences as a. As an entertainer that I've had in a long time, you know, since back in the day of playing like a, you know, a small acoustic show or something where you're really that intimate and you can tell stories and people listen and respond. It's pretty cool.

[Lunchbox]

So the pre sale is starting today. Eight shows from January 15th to the 31st. It's a second Las Vegas residency, so starting at 10am Pacific Time today. If you go to Ticketmaster.com BlakeSheltonVegas now, these Vegas residencies, like, that's quite the paycheck, right?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, you know, they're pretty good. I mean, just to be totally honest with you, and here's why, Bobby. It's not that you get. Get paid, you know, way more than you would, you know, for whatever else you do, but the fact that you're. That's home base and you're not loading up, you know, 15 trucks every night and going to the next town and buying airplane tickets and hotels, the whole thing, you know, the fact that you can just set up and play at one place over and over again. You know, artists do better in Vegas. It's a. You know, it's a fact.

[Lunchbox]

Why did two nights.

[Blake Shelton]

I know you're trying to stir up.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not. I did two nights at the Wind doing stand up and it was. The pay was like two and a half times what I normally make. I was just like, was it.

[Blake Shelton]

Was it that or was it. Well, you don't. You probably. When you come in, are you doing stand up? So you're not.

[Lunchbox]

No overhead.

[Blake Shelton]

So much production.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, it wasn't boring. I mean, your answer was kind of boring, but the question wasn't meant to be boring. So, yeah, talk. This TV show you're doing, like, what is it? The road? You go out and this is with Taylor Sheridan, who did all the shows that we watch. He's got a hundred shows now. So this is like life on the road, that type of thing in a competition series where artists try to make it.

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, you know, it's more about trying to capture the audience in a live performance setting at a place where they have no idea who you are. They've never seen you before. If. And they're there to see Keith Urban every single night. And they don't know who these artists are that are opening for Keith. And it's the job of these artists to try to capture the attention of these crowds and. And. And win the night. You know, people that are there in the. In the building, in the moment are the ones that are voting on this competition.

[Bobby Bones]

And.

[Blake Shelton]

And every night is a different venue somewhere across the US and man, it was. It was so fun to film. We've already filmed the entire season and it was a blast. I think it was a lot harder than. Than any of us thought it would be on. On the artists, because they're all developed artists. I mean, they're. They're people with experience and. And that play on the road some, but they're just not necessarily big names, you know, and, and, and when you. When you roll into a town and you. And you send out a, you know, a social media message that says, come out and see Keith Urban tonight for free at this bar, you know, you can hear tires squealing before you lay your phone down. You know, people lining up. And, and, and when they get there, they don't realize they're going to have to sit through, you know, 12 acts before Keith gets on stage, you know, and. And that's a tough situation to put them in. So it was a lot of fun to see how that.

[Lunchbox]

Who taught you how to play guitar?

[Blake Shelton]

My uncle Daryl up in Ada. Oklahoma. He's. He's still there today, kicking around. I've got that very first guitar that he taught me to. To play guitar on. No, Arya and I still have it. Have it now.

[Bobby Bones]

He. He. He.

[Blake Shelton]

He was a guy. He knew, like, probably, you know, seven or eight chords, like, all the. The, you know, the common ones that you'd play in. In country music. He taught me what he knew, and then I kind of took it from there. I didn't take it very much further from there a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think had you not gone and been on the Voice, you would still be here in Nashville living full time?

[Blake Shelton]

No, I had. I had moved to Oklahoma before that. I moved to Oklahoma in 2006, and the Voice came along in 2011, I think. Yeah, I. I lived in Nashville for 12 years, and I just never. I never felt like it was home. I just always wanted to be back in Oklahoma. So I think at the time that I moved back to Oklahoma, I'd had four or five hits, you know, enough that I felt like I had my foot in the door and I could get away with not living there. You know, what do you do every day? Just now I was mowing, believe it or not, which is. That's why I have on the work shirt. Just getting ready for, you know, fall coming in, a lot of brush hogging and things like that. The ranch is starting to look a little raggedy, so I thought I would mow today.

[Lunchbox]

You're still mowing. You're not like the foreman. You're actually on it.

[Blake Shelton]

Trust me. There's plenty of times where I'll go, hey, go out there and mow that. But today I just thought, man, I need to actually contribute around here. So I was actually out there doing it. It's not like I was mowing on, like, a push mower or something. I had the big tractor out there with a cab and listening to the radio and stuff, so.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, a couple questions, and this one is meant with full sincerity. Do you. No, I just. Because I know you're gonna think I'm up to something. I'm not, but. Do you have a skin care routine? Do you take care of your skin?

[Blake Shelton]

No, I don't. In fact, I probably should at my age, but I don't.

[Lunchbox]

What about.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Blake Shelton]

All I have to say about what.

[Lunchbox]

About when you, like. Like when you wash your hair, do you have, like, the dual body wash hair wash, or do you have specific, like, fancy hair products?

[Blake Shelton]

No, I don't have fancy hair products at all. I think, you know, Whatever is available is what I use. Like, I never travel with, like, shampoo because I know there's going to be some hotel brand in the hotel, and that's totally fine with me. I tell you what I do like to do once in a while is I'll get on Amazon or whatever and order a bottle of like. Like, you know, like Dinner X or Selson Blue, whatever they. They make. Because I love that tingly feeling on my head. You ever. You ever use any of that stuff?

[Lunchbox]

Bobby Selson Blue, I haven't even thought about in 15 years. So you've, like, reintroduced me to what?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, yeah, if you could. That's because it's probably got stuff in it you should never. Yeah, I don't know that I shouldn't say that. But it tingles. The tingle is hard.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you like the tingle? Do you like the smell of gas?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, I do. It does not bother me if gas gets on me when I'm at the gas station or whatever. You know, I feel like. It's like. Makes me feel like a man. Like I did something that day, you know?

[Lunchbox]

Let me give you a couple generic music questions that I think our audience would be really curious to know.

[Scuba Steve]

What.

[Lunchbox]

What song do you feel like was most instrumental in your success?

[Blake Shelton]

I would have to say Austin just only because was my first single, and it was a big record for me, and I think was. It kept me hanging around. Even times when I, you know, would have singles come out and not do well. It was still. I was still getting a lot of work and stuff because I was the guy that sang Austin. But I also think that O Red has been very important. I mean, I have a, you know, a bar and grill chain now because of Old Red, and it's definitely a fan favorite. But Austin, I think I would have.

[Lunchbox]

To say what song, when you perform live, does the audience know from the first couple of notes and go crazy?

[Blake Shelton]

Oh, Red. It's just got. I don't know what it is about that intro, but they're. They. They're ready for it and they recognize it.

[Lunchbox]

Which of your number one songs were you most reluctant to put out? And you were proven wrong.

[Blake Shelton]

There's a song called who Are youe? When I'm Not Looking that I was very nervous about it. It was such a soft ballad that I was just afraid, you know, I was gonna lose my momentum. And I loved the song. I just wasn't sure if it would be a hit or not.

[Lunchbox]

Is it true in 2001 you were gonna release I Wanna Talk About Me and Toby ended up getting it.

[Blake Shelton]

I had recorded the song was written from Bobby Braddock wrote the song for me because I used to go into the studio when we were working on my first album and I would always have these stupid raps that I would, you know, make up about whatever that day. And Bobby said, oh, you want to, you know, you want to sing a rap song? I wrote you a rap. And so we recorded the song and. And it was going to be on my album. And at the time it was. I was on Giant Records and. And they did some of those focus group testing things, you know about that stuff, Bobby. And it was like they wanted to play like four or five songs for these groups. And. And the testing came back that on I Want to Talk about Me, it was so terrible that they said not only do we not want this to be a single, but we don't even think you should put it on your album. It's that. That horrifying of a song. And then of course, you know, Toby recorded it and I think had a two month number one record on it.

[Lunchbox]

Final.

[Blake Shelton]

Those focus groups really nailed.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah. They suck. They suck.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Especially if it's anything different. It's almost like I think it was Henry Ford was like if you ask people, they would just say they wanted a faster horse instead of the car. And that's a bit of what I feel about focus groups. Like they're only answering questions based on what they already know, not on what.

[Blake Shelton]

That's exactly it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Blake Shelton]

They like what they know. They don't know what they like.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Okay. Tell me about State country or Die trying.

[Eddie]

I've got this thing where I, I.

[Blake Shelton]

Can'T get past some of those old Alabama records.

[Bobby Bones]

And.

[Blake Shelton]

And I'm. And I'm a quite a bit of a. Of a copycat sometimes when I make my records because I, I always want to end up putting something on my records that's like something my heroes did, you know. And. And for me, that always goes back to maybe, you know, Travis Tritt or Alabama or Earl Thomas Connolly or Mark Crawley, some of these people. And I come up with these records that I think, oh, they would have done that. And Stay country or die trying is. Is a little, little bit of that. Especially the, the intro of the song is. Is I always think, you know, I imagine that I was in Alabama when that song comes on.

[Lunchbox]

Here's what I love about impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body and it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not or it's and it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without the guilt of meat. Impossible lets you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Should grandparents be paid? This is a question posed by Lunchbox after he had a whole situation with his in laws. His in laws watched the kids while they were away on vacation and now his wife wants to pay them. And well, you probably know how Lunchbox feels, but there's a whole debate and a lot of people have a lot of feelings about this, which for once the majority might be in Lunchbox's favor.

[Lunchbox]

Number one, let's get into some drama here. So we had vacation last week and Lunchbox during his vacation went on a trip with him and his wife. Just those two. And so you left your kids with the in laws?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, they were nice enough to fly to town and said, hey, we'll watch the kids. You guys go enjoy your vacation.

[Lunchbox]

So what's the clip here?

[Scuba Steve]

My wife brought up that she thinks we should give them $500.

[Bobby Bones]

Who?

[Scuba Steve]

My in laws.

[Eddie]

What?

[Blake Shelton]

Four?

[Scuba Steve]

Watching the kids.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, let me hear this clip.

[Eddie]

Go ahead.

[Scuba Steve]

I just don't get how that makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they came here and they watched.

[Amy]

Our kids for a whole week.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's a lot of work. So I think they deserve payment.

[Scuba Steve]

I understand you think they deserve payment. Like $500? Isn't that called being a grandparent? Like, you got the payment is they got to see their grandkids, right? They did something nice for their daughter and their.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I hear you.

[Bobby Bones]

But like, they still had expenses and they still were giving up their own time and stuff. So, yeah, I think we should give them something.

[Scuba Steve]

All right, let's go make out and pay me 500.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. So what was said ahead of time?

[Scuba Steve]

That was her. She just brought up, goes, hey, you know, what do you think about giving my parents 500? And so I was like, wait, what a minute?

[Lunchbox]

Like, but was there any discussion ahead of time of like, you covering their flights now?

[Scuba Steve]

There's none of this. This is all post transaction. This is post history. Like, they left, they flew out of town, and now all of a sudden I'm getting this, this like bomb dropped on me, I guess you could say.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think that they mentioned to.

[Scuba Steve]

Your wife that could be because she did drive them to the airport without me, so I was not around for a conversation. Maybe they had like, hey, you know, are you going to give us anything or.

[Lunchbox]

And you don't think you should?

[Scuba Steve]

I don't think I should. I think they said, hey, we'll come do it. So they said they'd come do it. They did it. It's been done. Part of the thing is you get to spend time with your grandkids. Isn't that payment enough? That's what you want?

[Lunchbox]

I don't think that works.

[Eddie]

That's not the payment.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think. No, no, no. I think that, yes, that's awesome. And I think though, if they were like, hey, we're gonna come, we'd love to do it. And it's super nice of them to do. If there would have been discussion of, hey, yeah, we'll cover your flights.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll see.

[Lunchbox]

Make. Make it easy on you guys. That, that happens ahead of time.

[Scuba Steve]

I thought so too. I do, I mean, feel a little bad because my father in law did catch something from the kids. Like he's like not feeling well.

[Eddie]

That's part of it.

[Scuba Steve]

But that's part of it. That's.

[Lunchbox]

That's collateral damage. Payment enough.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right.

[Scuba Steve]

That means he was snuggling with the kids. That means they got to spend good quality time with the kids.

[Lunchbox]

They drive or fly?

[Scuba Steve]

They flew.

[Lunchbox]

Do you know how much their flights were?

[Scuba Steve]

I have no Idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Direct flights.

[Eddie]

Okay, well, have you ever paid for this before?

[Lunchbox]

Question them. Good question.

[Scuba Steve]

No, I've never, never even thought about paying for it.

[Lunchbox]

And they do. They volunteer to do it?

[Scuba Steve]

I don't know if they volunteered or if my wife had to reach out and be like, hey, you know, we'd like to go on a vacation. Can you guys come? I don't know if they were like, hey, why don't you guys go on vacation and we'll come watch the kids.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think they'll be upset if you don't pay them money? Do they know your wife is asked in your opinion?

[Scuba Steve]

A little bit. Me feels like they know she asked.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, Eddie, what do you think?

[Eddie]

I feel like this is easy. They both. Lunchbox and his wife have different bank accounts. If his wife thinks it's a good idea to pay them $500, then it could come out of her account. Lunchbox, stand your ground because I'm with you. I. I think the grandparents. It's a gift for them to come watch your kids.

[Bobby Bones]

For, for.

[Lunchbox]

It's not a gift. They're doing a favor.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but grandparents love. I've never heard of a grandparent not wanting to do this.

[Lunchbox]

It's not about want, it's about what it costs to do it. Probably.

[Eddie]

I think grandparents are happy to pay the plane ticket to go see their grandchildren.

[Lunchbox]

So you say your final answer is Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

If she wants to pay her parents $500, that comes out of her account.

[Lunchbox]

But Lunchbox shouldn't have to.

[Eddie]

No, not if Lunchbox disagrees with it.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan, what do you think about this?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

I. Okay.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

My dad just came in and watched my animals and I'm literally giving him stuff because he came and did that out of like just kindness because he cared to come in town and take care of them for me when I could go on a trip. Like, this is being kind. Maybe it's not $500.

[Eddie]

Maybe stuff did you give your dad?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Like got him like a massage and a gift card to go out to dinner. Like something because he didn't want to gesture back. Yeah. Just. It was so kind that he flew in to do that.

[Lunchbox]

Don't think about doing that kind of stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just out of that.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, well, I did okay if you. I mean, I did bring my mother in law back some tea from England because they drink tea. She drinks tea.

[Bobby Bones]

Consider yourself paid.

[Scuba Steve]

So I was in the airport and they had a little tea section and I bought a couple different kinds of tea.

[Morgan (podcast host)]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

That Counts.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so, Morgan, you say what?

[Morgan (podcast host)]

I think you need to do some kind of gesture for it. Maybe it's not $500, but you need to do something because they did come this way. They spent a week here with your kids, even though they're the grandparents, you need to do something for them in return.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Why the number 500?

[Scuba Steve]

I don't know where my wife got that.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Because she's a lot of money.

[Scuba Steve]

She said that's not even $100 a day. And they're here 24 hours a day.

[Lunchbox]

Do they need the money?

[Scuba Steve]

No, they're good. They're retired. Man, they are chilling.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

They're doing nothing.

[Lunchbox]

So this is what I would say. Is it important they do it again?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so that's what you don't want to lose.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That. It's not about you paying them for the past, but if there's an expectation now, and maybe your wife set the expectation with them and that expectation isn't met, then if you need them again, they may not be as quick to jump on an airplane and come and spend a few days here. So is it worth whatever that number is, $500 to make sure that they can be around the next time that you guys are going to leave and someone needs to watch your kids? I think that's what you have to factor in more than paying them for services rendered. It's making sure they feel comfortable with the overall experience so they'll do it again. Does that sound fair?

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, I understand what you're saying is, like. I mean, in the future, I'd love to go on a vacation.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. And if you don't treat them with the respect that they feel they deserve to be treated, if that's monetarily, if that's a gesture, then they may be less prone to accept.

[Scuba Steve]

I understand what you're saying.

[Lunchbox]

So that would be my answer is just pay it. It's gonna make your wife happy. They're still. They're gonna be on standby the next time, and happy to come and help you next time, but what about the tea? Okay, pay them 495. 5.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, t was more than $5.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, whatever it was, I think you pay them. If it's not gonna, like, break you guys. If it's not going to cause you to miss the water bill, and you have it, pay them.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the.

[Eddie]

What do you call that, though? Like, principle setting up?

[Lunchbox]

It's not a principle. The prince. No, no, no.

[Scuba Steve]

Precedent.

[Eddie]

Precedent. You don't want to set that precedent, man.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, but then you may not have the ability to have them ever again. Or at least for them to be as flexible as they are, precedent or not.

[Eddie]

Okay. But on the other side, it starts at 500. Next time, what's it going to be? 750. Then we're going to go to a thousand.

[Lunchbox]

What I would do, though, next time, what you can learn from this is to talk about what you're going to do ahead of time.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Because you probably didn't even cover their flights to 500 bucks.

[Scuba Steve]

Probably not.

[Lunchbox]

[Bobby Bones]

This past week I had on Nate and Holly who a lot of people on social media know him as Nate the great and they shared their whole story and it's super special. They have a company called 21 Pineapples that I think you guys will really love. So check that out if you have some extra time this weekend.
