Eddie
Come on, Bobby. Bobby Bones transmitting across America. Turn it up.
Bobby Bones
This is the Bobby Bones Show.
Eddie
Let's go. Here we go on the Bobby Bones show now, Matt Carney.
Bobby Bones
Matt Carney in studio. What's up, buddy? Hey.
Matt Carney
Hey.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We are older and our stuff, our body hurts right Last time I text Matt, I was like, hey, let's play some pickleball. And he's like, my knee doesn't work. I think that happens.
Matt Carney
I don't like this lead into my.
Eddie
Well, no, you brought it up before we came on.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's. And that's kind of the constant with all my friends now it's like, which body part hurts and how long is going to keep you out? So did you have a knee issue?
Matt Carney
I had a. Yes. I was skateboarding on tour and fell and so I had a little. They went in there with something and cleaned it up.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they really had to scope your knee?
Matt Carney
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
How often do you skateboard?
Matt Carney
Not as much anymore.
Bobby Bones
Were you a skater kid?
Matt Carney
I mean. Yeah, growing up, you know, Eugene, Oregon, definitely. Everyone did at one point. You had your like, pal Peralta board.
Bobby Bones
You know, so if you lived where you lived, you had to have your skater season.
Matt Carney
Yeah, like seventh grade, eighth grade, depending on what kind of asphalt you had in front of your house. You know, if you had the really bumpy stuff, maybe not as much.
Bobby Bones
Falling down just feels worse as you get older. It's like the scale of like. And it's way more embarrassing if you fall when you just in general. Like, I used to like, watch people fall. Like even like videos.
Eddie
I'm like, haha.
Bobby Bones
I don't like watching people fall anymore.
Eddie
Because now if I fall, that's probably.
Bobby Bones
Coming with a couple weeks on the disabled list.
Eddie
Minimally.
Matt Carney
Yeah. You're not wrong, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Skateboard still as an adult, I have a longboard though.
Lunchbox
I don't.
Matt Carney
Yeah, that's what I do. I longboard.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Wait, why is that. Is that down?
Lunchbox
It's. It's kind of like a Harley versus a, like a motorbike, like a Ninja.
Amy
But it's easier and the wheels are.
Matt Carney
Like softer and it's a little more. It's got like an orthopedic skateboard.
Lunchbox
Exactly.
Matt Carney
It's more like surfing or something.
Eddie
Got it.
Matt Carney
Like you're not doing little tricks. You don't feel every bump. You can kind of cruise. It's nice.
Bobby Bones
Speaking of Oregon, you know, they use my head as one of their play calls this season.
Matt Carney
I know, I saw that. Yes.
Bobby Bones
I took great pride in that. They would hold up my head and now I can say what the formation was.
Amy
Oh yeah, I've been curious about that.
Bobby Bones
So when they would call their big boned formation, which is near the goal line, when they put in all their, like an extra tight end, they'd have like three tight Ends full back. They held up a picture in my head, Bobby bones. So that was their big bone formation.
Amy
That's kind of cool that it's a cool play because it would be bad if they held up your head and the play was like, scatter.
Eddie
Okay, that's true.
Matt Carney
It's like, just take a dive.
Eddie
Run, run.
Bobby Bones
We're scared.
Amy
Right, Right.
Bobby Bones
So more than a play, it was a formation, it was a personnel to run in because they were holding up all kinds of stuff.
Amy
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
And so have you met Dan? Yeah, we went up and spent a lot of time with him, the head coach there. He was awesome.
Matt Carney
He's so cool.
Bobby Bones
He's younger than we are. That's weird.
Matt Carney
I know.
Bobby Bones
Like, when the coaches get to be younger than you, that starts to be a little odd.
Matt Carney
Like the players could be your children.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Did you watch the SNL50, by the way, did you see any of that?
Matt Carney
I didn't, no.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So at the very beginning, you say this. It puts me on that there is. It's Sabrina Carpenter and it is Paul Simon. Paul Simon.
Eddie
And they're together and so they're opening.
Bobby Bones
Up and they're doing a song and they're doing Homeward Bound.
Matt Carney
It's great.
Bobby Bones
It was awesome. And Sabrina Carpenter makes the joke that when Paul Simon played on episode two, she wasn't alive. And she was like, not only that, my parents weren't alive in 1976.
Eddie
And I was like, wow, not only her parents.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. So not only was she. Because I think it was 76. Not only was she not alive, her parents weren't alive. When that, that made that hurt a little bit, I was like, oh, then you start doing the math because what is Sabrina Carpenter? 20?
Amy
I'm like, they must have had her young.
Bobby Bones
26. Yeah, I started doing the math too, the mental gymnastics to feel younger. Yeah, I'm always, always doing that. But yeah, she's 25, so her parents could have had her at 18. 19, 20, even 20 put you at 45. And that's still five years before the first SNL episode. Golly, that's crazy.
Matt Carney
And I have a two year old, so I am too old for that age.
Bobby Bones
Too old for.
Matt Carney
It's a young man's game, man. Two year olds, they're just no joke.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you're too old for the two year old.
Matt Carney
Yes, yes.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Matt Carney
I'm like a better, I'm a wiser human and like a worse vessel is what it is.
Amy
Like, you can't run around.
Matt Carney
Yeah. Like I'm way more chill than I was 10 years ago.
Bobby Bones
But is that because the vessel's gotten older and you chill out of necessity?
Matt Carney
I think so.
Bobby Bones
Or just you've learned so much and you're sage wisdom now?
Matt Carney
Yeah, a little of both.
Bobby Bones
How many kids?
Matt Carney
Three girls.
Bobby Bones
So the two year old's the youngest?
Matt Carney
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Possibly because you've had two others and you've realized certain things are a priority.
Matt Carney
Yes, It's. So I'm a middle child of three boys. It's funny how, like, predictable it is. The oldest, you're like, really intense middle. Like, you're chilling out and the baby, like, they fall down and you're like, is there any broken bones? No, they're fine. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
As the middle child, ever have to go to therapy and be like, I'm the middle child. I didn't get attention.
Matt Carney
I mean, I relate to her. Yeah. No, you are in the middle. Yeah. It's like, um. But they are the. There's a study they just released that they're the most well adapted in families.
Bobby Bones
Because they have to learn to survive. By what, being like a Camille? I don't know.
Matt Carney
I think you don't get the extreme of either parent. You don't get like, the first one. It's so hard. You're, like, laying under their crib, like, are they still breathing? And by the end you're like, I'm tired. By the third one, you're just like, I'm tired, bro.
Bobby Bones
It can figure out the fridge.
Matt Carney
They get the best version of you. Maybe.
Eddie
So what is your official stance on flying in general?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, a lot of plane crashes. We've been talking about this a lot on the show. Do you have an official stance? Okay.
Matt Carney
My wife is. She. It really stresses her out, and I understand that concept, but for me, it's like, I love it. It's like one of the most relaxing.
Bobby Bones
Things I do see, I hate to fly.
Matt Carney
Yeah, I knew that.
Bobby Bones
It scares the crap out of me still, and I have to do it all the time. But there have been all these, you know, small plane crashes, the big one that hit the helicopter. And so there have been a lot. And so listeners are like, calling me, like, wanting me to pep talk them. I hate flying. So maybe you're the guy to do that.
Amy
Wait, Matt, are you a pilot?
Matt Carney
No, no, I don't fly.
Bobby Bones
No, he just likes to get a southwest ticket. He just take an afternoon lunch.
Amy
Because I can see, like, if you're in control, it's like, okay, this is relaxing. I'm in the air. Like, I'm doing this, but you're just. As a passenger, you're relaxing.
Matt Carney
For me, it's like I can listen to. I download music. It's like one of the few times I actually listen to music. And the thought of having nothing to do weirdly is comforting to me because I am like, I love to work, I love to do things, but this excuse of you have to sit here and just listen to music, chill out, is peaceful to me. Sorry, I know that's. I'm not relating to your story.
Bobby Bones
No, that's why you like to fly.
Eddie
Me, I don't like to fly because.
Bobby Bones
Similarly, I have no control.
Eddie
And in the same way where you're.
Bobby Bones
Like, I have no control, so I might as well listen to music. Since I have no control, I just will eat my teeth. Just be like this. I can't believe I have no control. If this guy decides he doesn't want to do this anymore, he's gonna crash the plane. But you're good with flying.
Matt Carney
Yep.
Bobby Bones
To all of our listeners, relax, chill.
Matt Carney
Like, you just. I, well, I, I fly so much too. For shows. I, like, weirdly had this resolve. Everyone would be complaining and super ticked off. I was like, I'm pretty much gonna have to do this a lot. So I guess I'm gonna decide to enjoy this because or else I'm gonna spend a lot of time unhappy.
Bobby Bones
What do you think's the most misunderstood thing about touring and being on the road?
Matt Carney
The work is definitely the 23 hours around the, you know, the show.
Bobby Bones
Talk about that, because I've heard that before. The 23 hours. That's not you performing. Like, that's the hardest part. Why is that?
Matt Carney
Well, I mean, you know, we've all started to get our routines and who you're with is such a big deal. So it's not even like you're the best musician. It's just like the hang becomes this. Because you're living on a bus. You know, we're. I'm at a level where you're. We're all in one bus. Everyone, all the crew, everyone. We're in 10 bunks. So there's 10 people in a 12 month bus. And you don't spend a ton of time in the bus. It's like more after the show when everybody's winding down as the bus starts to roll and then you go to sleep. But when you wake up in the morning, you're usually there and everyone kind of spreads out. But yeah, the hang becomes such an important part, or it can Be the detriment if you have someone that just totally doesn't fit or their humor's weird or they make people uncomfortable. It's like, it's a. It is not the vibe.
Bobby Bones
What do you do to stay busy in the day? You have a skateboard? Do you like, find somewhere to go and skate? Do you have somebody that finds a place for you or do you like, go to a gym?
Matt Carney
Yeah, I mean, I try to sleep in as long as possible. Because you want the show to fall like in the middle of like the longer you can make it more towards the middle of your day, it's easier.
Bobby Bones
Like, I've never heard that before.
Eddie
That actually is a. I mean, I.
Matt Carney
Can'T, you know, I've like a 2 year old. So sleeping in for me is not what it used to be. But yeah, it puts it kind of like you want it to be like the back 2/3 of your day because then you can kind of have energy. Like you, after you work all day, you go, you're up at 6am at like 9:30. You're not like, let's go. You're like, I want to go watch Netflix and sit on the couch.
Eddie
That makes a lot of sense.
Bobby Bones
I would do comedy shows on a Friday night after I do the show in the morning and just be like exhausted.
Matt Carney
It's long. Yeah, it's a. It's like, I mean, you get that adrenaline hit every time before you, but it's like the hour before the show. There's plenty of times where you're like, I don't know how this is going to work. And then 50 minutes before the, you know, you get that cortisol, you get that adrenaline. Your body doesn't want to look bad in front of people. And you usually, you know, you always rise to the occasion. But yeah.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys still do Paul Simon?
Matt Carney
We put it back in the set. This.
Bobby Bones
It's one of the greatest, like live performance. Cause you guys do the song, which is such a fun song to do too. You can call me Al Amy. I will be your bodyguard. They do it and do the dance and everything. Or at least they did. You're doing it again.
Matt Carney
We actually just brought it back.
Bobby Bones
It's awesome. Do you ever like, who choreographs that? And do you get to your boys like, all right, boys, we're doing a dance number.
Matt Carney
It usually starts as a joke, but that's Chevy Chase's move from the video. So we were just messing around one day and I was like doing it and we were all laughing. And I was like, we have to do this. And you know, usually like Phil's way into a bass player. Usually one of the guitar players. Like, really, we got to do this? There's always one person that resists.
Bobby Bones
It's awesome.
Matt Carney
We got this, man.
Bobby Bones
How many songs do you cover?
Matt Carney
Depends on the tour. You know, one to three.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Matt Carney
Depending on. Maybe there's like a you reference one other song. Maybe there's like a serious moment. Or there's like a comedic one we were doing. I was playing Bust a Move on this one. I was going to a verse just because I did it one night for fun and it went over. It was so fun that I was adding it in there. But yeah, or you do like a serious moment, you know, some ballad you love. But maybe two, you know, two or three, that's fine.
Eddie
I wonder if I remember the words.
Bobby Bones
To Bust a move from 1990. Yeah, right.
Matt Carney
Dressed in the yellow Give me a sears of jam for.
Bobby Bones
Just give me a. Just give me a beat. Let me see if I remember it. Could you give me like a cord? Yeah, just give me a chord. Just give me just. Yeah. This here's a jam for all the fellas Trying to do what those ladies tell us get shot down cause you're overzealous Play hard to get Females get jealous okay, smarty, go to a party. What was the scandalous? Class walks up sex and you standing on the wall like you was poindexter Next day luncheon high class function so called munching Music comes on, people start to dance. Then you ate so much you nearly split your pants and guys are talking Bust a move.
Eddie
That's good.
Amy
Why do we not know, like what part of the song is the part we all know which is. Well, no, the.
Bobby Bones
That's later on.
Eddie
She's dressed in.
Amy
Yeah, later on. Why do we know that part? Everybody knows.
Bobby Bones
Color.
Matt Carney
Yeah, just in the yellow. It's definitely the most memorable.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Because you can picture somebody dressed like a banana.
Bobby Bones
Probably. That's a fun one.
Matt Carney
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Was that start as a joke?
Matt Carney
It 100% starts as a joke. I still. Actually, I shouldn't reveal this, but we played a song called Money that's like kind of more hip hop leaning. And I played too long one night and the song was over and I was just like playing the chords and I was like, I don't know, should I fade out? Like, this is awkward. I'm still playing. And we're like, what other songs do I know? And it literally was the first thing that Came to my mind that was.
Bobby Bones
Back there, just waiting. Yes, it had its ticket.
Eddie
Just waiting for his number to call.
Matt Carney
It's just been like, it's put me in coach.
Bobby Bones
Young MC was waiting for 20 years to get the call. So let's talk about the new music. How long do you go into a hole before you come out with new music?
Matt Carney
You know what, it's so different. I mean probably the two year thing is like you, you make a record, you tour it for a year pretty hard, do all the major markets and then you kind of like maybe do another year of B markets and then you're writing during that year.
Bobby Bones
So it's constant.
Matt Carney
Two or three. Yeah, I always, I'm always writing. I love. My favorite time to write is like the day a record comes out, there's like this weird pressure that goes off.
Bobby Bones
So is it a self? Because I was looking at it. It's Matt Carney still drowning in nostalgia. But use your. Is it self titled but with a different parenthesis.
Eddie
So.
Matt Carney
So this is the deluxe version. The. The My self title record came out a few months, like six months ago. So this is like all the B sides and the songs that I that were in the mix that maybe for some reason I didn't finish or this is kind of like the extension of that.
Bobby Bones
So it's six new songs.
Matt Carney
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Were there songs that didn't make the self titled part that you're gonna do like a double self title? Like It'll Be the Seasides.
Matt Carney
We should. There's. There's so many songs. Yeah. I always have too many songs by the end of the process and then some. You just get to the end of the record and you just don't have any more energy. Like you're looking at it, you're like, I don't know how to solve this problem. I guess it doesn't make it. And some of those were these songs and I. A little time and space. And you're like, oh, this is what it needs.
Bobby Bones
With the six added songs or 18 tracks on the record. How many did you write for this?
Matt Carney
The whole record?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Matt Carney
Oh, I have no idea.
Bobby Bones
Was it over 30?
Matt Carney
Yeah, probably.
Bobby Bones
Really? So some songs just die. They just die? Like they never know.
Matt Carney
They just die?
Bobby Bones
No, that's a question. Like you have songs you've written that just die?
Matt Carney
Oh, hundreds, thousands. So many.
Eddie
It's actually like, do you save them all?
Matt Carney
Like I have a ton. I have like a folder in my Dropbox called Beautiful Orphans and it's like all these songs that just like yeah, there's some that are really good.
Bobby Bones
Actually.
Matt Carney
What I've been doing this summer is I've been going through and looking at these songs because there's some that stick with you. Like, there's some you're just like. That's just not good. Like, anyone who's been writing a long time can get good enough that they can just write a mediocre song anytime they sit down. So those go out the window. But then there's, like, these few that I still think about, and I was like. And I'll pull them up and like, what is with this one? And you're like, oh, maybe the production wasn't right. Or maybe it needs to be a different key or sped up. And I've been doing that a lot. And actually, like, there's like, three or four songs that are, like, 10 years old that I love what I did with them. So that's for maybe the new record.
Bobby Bones
Like, the next. Yeah, the next. The one you started writing when this one came out. New.
Eddie
New one. Yes.
Matt Carney
Yes.
Bobby Bones
You have your guitar. Would you mind. I mean, if I can pick a song, would you mind playing Good Thing going On?
Matt Carney
Yeah, man.
Bobby Bones
Matt Carney's here. The album is out, but the new. And maybe you didn't even know that was out, but there are 18 songs. It's called Matt Carney Still Drowning in Nostalgia out today. So go check it out. And Matt's gonna play for us now.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Eddie
We can't post the live performance on the podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page, you can watch it there or maybe listen live. Okay. All right, now back to the podcast.
Bobby Bones
Come on. Matt Carney in studio. That was awesome. How often do you play this early in the morning in your whole life? Because that was awesome.
Matt Carney
Not really. It might be a half step down. Don't tell anyone.
Bobby Bones
Well, what's. Again, what's annoying is it's so good.
Eddie
Like.
Bobby Bones
Or did you stay up and make this the middle part of your day? Because that would have been the move right there if this were, like, the middle part of it. Yeah, dude, that's awesome.
Matt Carney
That means I would have got up really early.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. For us.
Eddie
And you did that in the morning.
Bobby Bones
You did that for us, and we appreciate that. Go watch MattLive. Matt carney.comm a t1t hey, trying to tag you on a lot of stuff you remember. Real hard. 1t.
Matt Carney
My mom misspelled it on my birth certificate.
Eddie
Is that really it?
Matt Carney
That's a real story.
Amy
Wow.
Matt Carney
I Found out in the eighth grade, actually.
Bobby Bones
And how did that come to light?
Matt Carney
I was. I was writing. I always wrote my name M A T, T. And then we crossed both, like, yeah, this is cool. And then in the eighth grade, I was going through this desk, and I found this. You know, they used to give you these decorative things where they put your footprint on and they write your name in cursive. And it's like the hospital. He weighed this many pounds. Born on this date. A decorative thing. And I pulled it out, and there was, like, a red. It was spelled M A T H E W in this beautiful script. One T. And there was, like, a red T drawn in with ballpoint pen, which I had seen these pens in our drawers in our house. And I was like, what this, Mom? What is this? She's like, oh, they misspelled it at the hospital. So I fixed it. I was like, just because you wrote a T on this, like, decorative thing that sits in our drawer. Didn't spell the. You know, didn't change the spelling of my name. So we pulled out my birth certificate and M A T. And I had one T. Dang. And I was in eighth grade, so that was really cool.
Bobby Bones
And it was too late to change.
Matt Carney
I loved it at that point. I'm like, I'm different.
Bobby Bones
You're different.
Amy
Oh, yes. Embrace it.
Bobby Bones
Matt will be Park City, Utah, Birmingham, Alabama, Oklahoma City, Fayetteville, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Orlando, all the way. Asheville, Chicago, all the cities you're hearing us in. Matt will be on tour. Go to a show. It's awesome. He's so good live. Do you want to take a shot in our. Our Bop it league?
Matt Carney
Oh, I've seen this.

Matt Carney
Anonymous in box. There's a question to be.
Eddie
Hello Bobby Bones. I've been sitting on this a while now. I still don't know what to do because my wife has no clue that I won big on the Super Bowl. She just thought I was really into the game. What she doesn't know is that I ended up winning over $30,000 and that I bet over 5k to win and I shouldn't have done that. I'm not normally a gambler, but I just had a feeling on this one and it ended up paying off. So here's my question. As much as I want to tell her about my windfall, I think it's a better move to keep it quiet. Even with the amount that I won, she'll still really be mad that I risked that much. Especially since we don't exactly have money pouring out of us. Do I tell her or keep it a secret and slowly pay off bills and hopefully she doesn't notice and start asking questions. I'm going to use the money mostly on us, but if I tell her, she's going to want me to make unnecessary purchases. Signed secret super bowl winner. You can go because you'll probably have the better advice, but go ahead.
Amy
Oh, I think he absolutely needs to tell her. And then he needs to stop risking money they don't have.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
What, you don't think you should tell her? And he says, he says. I love how he's like, I'm gonna spend it mostly on us. I'm gonna slowly start paying off bills because she would wanna make unnecessary purchases. I mean, come on, you're the one that made an unnecessary.
Eddie
That's probably the mature, correct thing to do. I would say don't say anything about it.
Amy
Cool.
Eddie
And slowly pay off stuff because you're.
Amy
Not going to buy anything unnecessary.
Eddie
Well, you got all this extra money.
Bobby Bones
A little something unnecessary.
Eddie
Maybe you get her a little something unnecessary as well. But you can't buy too much at one time or she'll be poking around like, where'd you get this money? Yeah, it's a very slow play if you do it though.
Amy
If she does eventually find out, it's going to have to be years, years, years down the line and sort of presented as hahaha, I like that.
Eddie
Now we're all getting on the same.
Amy
No, I'm saying that's the only way that she's gonna find out. And it maybe be okay if it's like been 20 years and you're laughing and it's kind of funny.
Eddie
I would say too that I'm not normally a big gamber gambler, but I had a gut feeling on this one. If you're not really a big gambler and you get a gut feeling, I would encourage you to not be a big gambler. If you have a gut feeling, you can bet on it, but don't go way bigger than you normally do. It worked this time. Most times it's not going to work right.
Amy
But I have a feeling he's probably gonna make a few extra bets because he won big on this.
Eddie
The mature thing to do. Say Something is to say something, hey, I bet this I won. She's going to be way less angry because you won. Had you done it and lost, that doesn't mean she's not going to be a little irritated and upset with you. However, there is some positive there that you have a bunch of money, and that's going to make it a lot easier to digest.
Amy
I would just face it.
Eddie
I would, too. Like I told you, I hate saying that, because I don't want to hide it, but I just do it. She's not. She's only going to be so mad because you won, but she will be restricting your airspace, though, for now on.
Amy
Well, just like it makes me think of how I am with my kids. Like, if you go ahead and tell me something that you know is going to be a problem, but you're choosing to talk to me about it ahead of time, and then versus me finding out, the consequences are way different.
Eddie
I hear you. And this also is the extra money element. That's positive, because I had. You had to tell her and you lost the money. That's a whole different conversation. You won. Thank God. Now stop doing this. And I would just tell her, dang, it'd be so fun. Just have that money, then just go spend it on crazy stuff. Okay, you need to tell her. It's gonna be easy for her to accept it because you won. Thank God you didn't lose.
Bobby Bones
All right, close it up.
Eddie
I'm obsessed with this meteor strike they say may happen in 2032, where they told us 1%, then 2%. Now they're like, it's a 3% chance that it's gonna hit. And they say now the odds of it hitting are the same odds as if you were to flip a coin five times and call it correctly all five times in a row. So, Amy, I got a coin right here. I'm gonna flip it and call it.
Amy
Heads.
Eddie
Heads it is. Okay, we're that much closer.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Eddie
Okay, ready?
Amy
Let's go. Yes. Tails.
Eddie
Tails.
Lunchbox
Oh, my goodness.
Amy
All right, let's go. Flip it again.
Eddie
Three more in a row. We're getting hit by meteor. Okay, here we go. And call it.
Amy
Heads.
Eddie
Tails. Okay, we're safe.
Lunchbox
Thank goodness.
Amy
We are alive.
Eddie
We are safe.
Lunchbox
So close, though.
Eddie
I'm so obsessed with it, my algorithm is feeding me stories. So here's a brief history of significant meteor strikes on Earth. Ready? And when I tell you the size of these things and the damage they did, it may change your view of what's about to happen.
Lunchbox
Oh, these are the ones that hit.
Eddie
Yes, these are ones that hit. So if we go to number one, the Chicxulub impact, 66 million years ago. They estimate this was six to nine miles long. This is an asteroid six to nine miles long. The Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. This is the asteroid strike believed to have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. It created a crater over 90 miles wide, triggered massive wildfire, tsunamis, and a global climate shift due to debris blocking sunlight. So even if you weren't right where it hit or close, because all the dust went up and killed the sun, everything died. That's number one. Number two, the Tunguska event in 1908, it was 160 to 200ft long. It was in Russia. It was a massive explosion that flattened 800 square miles of forest. Now, again, this thing's only 200ft long. 800 square miles of forest. It destroyed 80 million trees. And they don't even think it's. That it hit and caused all the destruction. The air burst from it as it was creating the air when it was going down is what caused the energy to be released. 1000 times stronger than the Hiroshima bomb. The nuclear bomb in World War II that we dropped, it was a thousand times stronger than that. And the thing was only about 160ft wide.
Amy
Wow.
Eddie
And that's 1908. So this is one that people actually remember. Number three, the Chelyab meteor, 2013. So we're getting even more recent. 66ft in diameter. This is in Russia where it hit. The meteor exploded 18 miles above Earth, so didn't even hit the Earth. So all the atmosphere was wearing it down. Finally, it popped. Only 66ft wide. It released energy equivalent to 30 Hiroshima bombs. The shockwave damaged thousands of buildings, shattered windows, injured over 1500 people. It's the largest recorded meteor strike in modern times because it was 2013 and it was only 66ft.
Amy
What? Why don't I remember this?
Eddie
There's been a lot of news since then. Even just the plane crashes this year.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
So that was 2013. Now, the one they're talking about now in comparison, because that was 66ft long. This one they think is around 300ft. And based. And they do that based on the brightness of it, is how they measure it. And so they think it could be, you know, South America, for the most part, and they impact that. It's at 3.2%, I think, 2032, and that it, you know, one of these. It's like 500 nuclear bombs. Like, the power of that has to.
Amy
Be any Part of the Americas I like. Well, never mind. I don't want it to hit anywhere, but.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Eddie
Yeah, I know, but better not here. That's what everybody's thinking, right?
Morgan
You just said, I like where your head's at. Because I'm glad I'm not. I was thinking it too.
Eddie
Yeah. I can't hate you for saying it, but I will acknowledge that when I thought that, I felt pretty selfish as well.
Amy
And I paused and I reflected and said, never mind.
Eddie
But that One that was 66ft long, probably a quarter of what this one is, is the one that hit in 2013 was like, again, like the blast, like 30 nuclear bombs. And that one didn't even hit in 2013. It disintegrated 18 miles above. Wow. And still did that. I'm not saying it's the end of the world, but it's 3% end of the world. You want to coin flip one more time? Okay, go. Call.
Amy
Heads.
Eddie
Heads it is.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
Amy.
Amy
Okay, go. Heads.
Eddie
Heads it is.
Amy
Oh, my gosh, we're dead.
Eddie
Guys, Amy's flirting with this thing.
Lunchbox
What do we need? Three more.
Eddie
Three. We don't know. What we don't want is Amy.
Amy
Tails.
Eddie
Heads. Okay, we're safe again.
Lunchbox
Thank goodness.
Eddie
Okay, so for now, we're safe. If they raise it up again, I'll be convinced that they're only slow rolling us. And they think there's a decent chance it's gonna hit because they come out and go, 40%, dude, every billionaire is gonna start buying bunkers everywhere, right?
Amy
And then how do you choose to live until 1932? I mean, 2032, I go skydiving, I.
Eddie
Go rocky mountain climbing.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
I probably.
Amy
People start living differently.
Eddie
Yeah, no, not if it's 2032. If it were like, three months. But you still got to pay the bills, so. No, I don't. Not really. But I think rich people would start buying up all the bunker places and going to countries that are kind of not where they think this thing's going to hit. So.
Bobby Bones
Hey, enjoy your day, everybody.
Eddie
Thanks. It's time for the good news with Amy. Something good.
Amy
All right, so back in the 1940s, there was two high school sweethearts, Bill Hassinger and Joanne Blaken. They were together, they were in love. But then, you know, life happens. He had to go off to the Korean War. She went off to College. Fast forward 73 years, they're both in their 90s and single. So Joanne's daughter's like, hey, anybody you want to look up? So she finds Bill online. He drives 80 miles to meet her for a little lunch date.
Eddie
Hopefully my drove him because he's in the 90s. Yeah, hopefully. Look at this.
Amy
He's 91, she's 93. So he's younger.
Lunchbox
And the fact they're both online, amazing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
They bumble at lunch. They quickly rekindled their connection, and they've been inseparable ever since. They go on walks, they work on puzzles. They enjoy traveling.
Bobby Bones
Did he move to her? Because, I mean, it's 80 miles.
Amy
Yeah. Going on a walk together now.
Eddie
Okay. They live together.
Amy
I don't know if they're doing any premarital activities.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, I'll think about that.
Eddie
No, I said, Amy's mind goes right to the gutter. I'm happy for them, whatever the case is. Okay. Great story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. I'll go first. The highest number counted to out loud was 1 million. It took the guy 89 days. He counted out loud every number with each day averaging just over 11,200 numbers per day. So that's the world record. He got to 1 million and was like, I'm done. Wow. But every day out loud, he counted 11200 numbers. Oh, that is dedication.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Amy, go.
Amy
Alaska is the only US state whose name can be typed using a single row on the keyboard. All the letters are on that S.K.
Eddie
A.
Bobby Bones
You're right. Wow.
Amy
Yeah. Yeah. I fact checked my phone back.
Eddie
Okay. Making sure. Lunchbox.
Morgan
If you want to know if it's going to rain outside, you don't need to go to weather.com. you don't need to pull out your phone. Check the weather app. Just go find a pine cone. Because if it's going to rain, guess what? A pine cone closes up because the seeds don't want to be displaced by the rain. If it's dry and going to be a nice day, the pine cone is open.
Eddie
That's interesting. I feel it'd be easier, though, just to look at my app.
Lunchbox
Sure. You know, right away.
Eddie
Than to go track down a pine cone. I feel like that's really interesting.
Morgan
I would think a pine cone is more accurate than your app.
Eddie
I would not. Also think it would be. Would be.
Amy
Not everybody has pine.
Eddie
Yeah. And also that's a good point.
Morgan
Didn't think about that.
Lunchbox
Like, how far ahead is the pine cone?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. There's a lot to that. Like, my app can tell me and like 30 minutes or five minutes, you.
Lunchbox
Know that it's going to rain in seven days.
Amy
Hey, but this is good to know for if something shuts down and we no longer have the world. Any technology to tell us.
Eddie
That's a really fun fact. I just would still stay with the app, Eddie.
Lunchbox
So the word laser, did you guys know it's an acronym? So it stands for something. It stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
Eddie
That doesn't sound like laser.
Amy
Laser?
Lunchbox
Yeah, light amplification.
Eddie
Where's the Z?
Amy
No, laser.
Lunchbox
No, there's no Z. S. I'm thinking.
Eddie
Of, like, video games.
Lunchbox
Laser.
Eddie
Oh, that would make sense. I would spell laser wrong. I'd spell it L A Z E.
Morgan
R. I think that's laser tag.
Eddie
Maybe that's what it is to me. I've just seen it that way so many times. Okay, I'm sorry. So say it again.
Lunchbox
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
Amy
Why'd they get rid of the B?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't know.
Eddie
Dang. Is laser as in laser tag L.
Bobby Bones
A, Z, E, R. Or was that.
Eddie
An American gladiator named Laser? Oh, yeah, there was, because that was probably a thing too.
Amy
I'm thinking more about lunch's pine cone thing, and I think a more accurate is like, if my knee's starting to hurt. Like, I can tell now if it's gonna rain.
Eddie
Yeah, my fingers will hurt and stuff too, but I can't tell exactly when the pine cone. Yeah, laser is a misspelling. By the way. L a Z E, R as I spelled it. Yeah, I'm an idiot. There's enough cash in circulation in the United States that every single person in America, adults and kids, could carry $6,500 on them.
Matt Carney
Dang.
Eddie
Yeah, that one. I guess I don't really an all different current. I don't know. That's kind of boring. I He act like he just won a prize.
Morgan
I mean, I'd like to walk around with 5K.
Bobby Bones
Morgan.
Scuba Steve
Yeah? That new car smell that everybody loves? Well, it's a mix of over 200 chemicals.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Amy
Very fun, my good.
Lunchbox
And we're slowly dying when we smell it.
Eddie
George Washington's dentures were partially made from hippo tusks.
Amy
Oh, that's what you were gonna say. Wood.
Eddie
Even better.
Lunchbox
Weren't they wood?
Eddie
Like they were made of pine cones. And you could always tell when the weather. All right, there you go. That's Fun Fact Friday. Fun Fact Friday. All right, let's do learning time. There was a play called the dancing plague of 1518. Have you ever heard of the Dancing Plague?
Amy
Never.
Eddie
I didn't know if it was real, so I started looking it up. And so it happened in France, July of 1518, when there's this woman named Frau. She began dancing uncontrollably in the streets. Sounds like the start to a great music video. Within days, others joined in. By the end of the month, around 400 people were dancing non stop. Some reportedly died from exhaustion, heart attacks, or strokes.
Amy
Oh, my.
Eddie
They could not stop dancing. They had the fever.
Amy
Like they were possessed.
Eddie
The dance. So historians and scientists still debate on what caused this. Here's some of the theories. Number one, mass hysteria, which is a psychological illness. The region was experiencing extreme hardship, famine, and disease, which may have triggered a collective stress induced psychological reaction. So that would have been something that other people saw and then felt. More so than a disease they got like a bacteria or a virus. Number two, poisoning. Some believe the townspeople may have consumed rye that was contaminated, and it was contaminated with a fungus that could possibly cause hallucinations and involuntary movement movements.
Amy
That's crazy. Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
The one that's tough is the religious or superstitious influence to make all these people start dancing and then die dancing. Some viewed the event as divine punishment or a curse from Saint Vitus, the patron saint of dancers.
Bobby Bones
Who knew?
Lunchbox
I didn't know those.
Amy
I don't know about that one.
Eddie
I don't think that's gonna be killing people, though. Also, I didn't know that was a saint because I'd have used that on Dancing with the Stars. I'd have been kissing that little necklace every night. Religious leaders even tried rituals and prayers to stop the plague. City officials eventually intervened, taking the affected that were all sick to a shrine dedicated to that saint, Saint Vitus, for healing. And it didn't stop immediately, which makes me feel that's not what it was. The dancing gradually stopped after. After a few months, this remains one of the strangest events in history. No clear explanation for why people danced until they collapsed or died. It's often cited as the most famous case of mass hysteria. Isn't that absolutely bonkers? Yes.
Amy
I'm like, have they seen anything like it since? Like, what if that started happening to us now? Like, if y'all just started dancing, like, what?
Eddie
I would take an antibiotic.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
If I couldn't stop it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
First thing I would do is take an antibiotic.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Because they didn't really have that.
Amy
You're like, I want to stop dancing, but I can't.
Eddie
Or I'm like, this is kind of cool. Wow. Holy crap. This is Amazing.
Amy
But I guess if you're hallucinating, you don't really know.
Eddie
That's a good point.
Amy
You're not, like, aware enough to be like, I want to stop dancing.
Eddie
Then maybe my wife would shove an antibiotic in my throat. But again, the craziest part is that 400 people were dancing non stop, falling from exhaustion, dying of heart attacks, and. Or dancing so much they had strokes. And then it happened the 1500s. So all they have are, like, cursive writings about it. So it's not like you can actually go back. But of those I would bet, if I were just betting money on it, because obviously, I don't know, it had to be some kind of poison.
Amy
Oh, the rye.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. That they ate rye contaminated with ergot. E R G O T, which was the name of that fungus. Yeah, that's blown away. Maybe ergo, you know, I don't know.
Amy
Just kidding.
Eddie
But there you go, learning time. I think I like learning time with Dr. Bones. Yeah, I do too, because I'm a doctor.
Amy
You are?
Eddie
Of letters. And when I read these stories to you, you know what they're made of? Letters, the stories are. Oh, so that fits my specialty. Yeah. Yeah, there it is. Learning time with Dr. Bones. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. Neymar delivers for Amazon. So she's driving around last Sunday evening, and she's in Shelby County, Alabama. She sees some smoke coming out of a building, and so she gets closer to it. This kind of happened to you too, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
In the country.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
And you, you drove up.
Lunchbox
There was a house nearby, so I got out and knocked on the doors, and I even saw people in the house, in the windows, and they just ignored me. Then I realized it was a smokehouse where they like smoke meat in it.
Eddie
So it wasn't a fire.
Lunchbox
It wasn't on fire. I'm the idiot.
Eddie
Well, this is a little different. And I'm glad she stopped. She sees smoke, she goes to the home. She leaves the Amazon van running, runs in, bangs on the door, helps the family get out. And luckily she did, because that's exactly what happened. The house then caught on fire, engulfed in flames. The family didn't know. I don't know if they were asleep or not. Sounds like they probably would have been.
Bobby Bones
Or just in a house, part of.
Eddie
The house that the fire wasn't burning. But then she finished that, got them all out, called the cops, and then she got in her Amazon van and.
Amy
Finished the delivery she kept delivering of.
Lunchbox
Course, it's a tough situation to be in cuz like, you're like, do I wake them up?
Eddie
Yes, yes, yes.
Lunchbox
Like, do I knock on the door?
Eddie
It is tough. It is. No, no, it's tough because if I saw smoke coming out and it wasn't flame, I would go, I wonder if it's their chimney, right?
Amy
Yeah. But better safe than sorry.
Eddie
I would knock, but then if they don't answer, you got to make that decision. Do you knock in the window? Do you kick open the door?
Amy
If you kick open the door, you're vulnerable. You could get shot.
Eddie
Well, that's what we're saying. But again, that's the risk of are you gonna save somebody? To so Neymar Elmore, Big shout out to you in Alabama. You saved some people. Pretty awesome story from wbrc. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.
Amy
Why don't ants get sick?
Eddie
Why don't ants get sick?
Amy
Because they have little antibodies.
Eddie
That was the morning corny.

Eddie
All right everybody, follow me here. Imagine this. If you could create a new holiday that was to be celebrated by everyone in the world, you have full control. What would that holiday be? So a brand new holiday, you get to create it, everybody has to celebrate it because it matters to a lot of people. What would that holiday be? I'll go first. I would create national left handed People day. Our life in many ways is way more difficult than right handed people. Because let's say you have a pencil or a pen and you got to write. It's all in the back of your hand. And that's just the start of it. A desk built for right handed person scissors. Right handed scissors. You have to go track down left handed scissors. Who even has those? Playing ball? Baseball. We go to Walmart to find a glove. You have to go through 500 gloves before you find one left handed glove. Playing guitar. I never get to play my friend's guitars. Nobody plays left handed. It is playing baseball and has a pretty good baseball player. There's only really one position in the infield you can play. Otherwise you gotta play in the outfield. And that's if you don't have like a cannon of an arm. So you can only play first base. You can't catch, you can pitch. But that, but that doesn't count. That's not really in the infield.
Bobby Bones
Like that's, that's.
Eddie
The pitching's different, but you can't play second base, third base, shortstop, can't catch. Being left handed is very difficult. And I would like to have a day to celebrate the marginalized left handers of the world.
Amy
But. And the right handed people participate.
Eddie
Yeah, they celebrate us. It's about us.
Lunchbox
Everyone do everything left handed.
Eddie
No, you just celebrate us. You get us treats. It could be like cupcakes. Or you get us a gift for like a massage or something. I don't know. National Left Handed People's Day is my holiday that everybody celebrates because you have no idea how hard it is for us. Thank you, Amy.
Amy
Oh, gosh. When you said massage, I was like, okay, you read my mind. Because my holiday would be for adoptive parents. If you've adopted kids, it's a national holiday where you go and any place that offers a massage, you go in, you show proof of adoption, and bam, you get a free massage.
Eddie
Does it matter, though? You chose to be an adoptive parent? Because I didn't choose to be left handed. And I feel like that's why I should be celebrated. I had no choice.
Amy
You should still be celebrated. We're breaking up holidays.
Eddie
But. I know, but I think I would make up a holiday. I'd go adopt a kid to get a free massage.
Lunchbox
Well, you can do that.
Eddie
That's what I'm saying.
Amy
Let me tell you.
Eddie
I'll be in lunchbox.
Morgan
National Prom King Day.
Eddie
No, just celebrating ourselves here.
Morgan
No, no, no, no. Not just me. All the prom kings in the world. If you were voted prom king and I guess we could include the queens.
Eddie
But that's like something good. You already got something good.
Morgan
I didn't choose this right, but it was bestowed upon me. And let's not forget. Let's not just leave it in the past. We need to remember it every year. How much we sacrificed and how awesome we were to get to that position. We go into restaurants on National Prom King Day. Guess what? Free meal.
Eddie
Oh, that's not. That's not a hardship or anything difficult.
Bobby Bones
Like, you were already awarded.
Eddie
So you want to get awarded again for your award 1.
Morgan
I don't want you to forget. Okay, that's what I'm saying. Like, we forget about a lot of things, like presidents. We've already given them their. Their flowers, but we celebrate them every year.
Eddie
It's because they did things.
Morgan
We did things. We made your life better. What do you think prom king is? It's. Everybody wanted to be around us. They looked up to us.
Bobby Bones
I don't remember.
Eddie
Do you guys remember your prom kings?
Lunchbox
No chance.
Morgan
Yeah, because you weren't it. That's what I'm saying. We got to bring it back. You got to call your prom king.
Eddie
Be like, this is called Peaked in High School day. That's how we call it. Peaked in High School Day. Okay, Eddie.
Lunchbox
National Outdoor Grilling Day. It doesn't matter if you've never grilled before this day. You are grilling now. The firefighters should probably be ready to go, just in case, because I think there'll be more fires than usual, and.
Eddie
We'Ll follow that day with National Firefighter Day.
Matt Carney
There we go.
Eddie
Celebrate them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
And then, you know, there's a lot of, like, PSAs on how to grill.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
Full education on grilling. Okay, That's.
Lunchbox
That'd be fun.
Eddie
That's pretty good.
Bobby Bones
Morgan. Anything.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. It would be similar in yours. It would be National Short People's Day because I am five foot tall, and I am always made fun of. There's always. You're always the butt of the joke because you're the short person. You can't ever reach anything. There's never a place for you to be able to reach thing. Nothing is made for short people.
Eddie
Step ladders everywhere. Every store you go into, they're on sale. On sale. Step ladder. Step ladders to get cracked. Oh, now we're talking.
Amy
We all have to lower ourselves.
Lunchbox
Oh, we have to get down on that.
Scuba Steve
You have to help every short person you see, and you cannot make fun of them for doing it. Like when you're in the grocery store.
Eddie
Well, no, short is not, I would say, average height. Anything below average height, like, you could define that. I think most of these days are people that have given up something or not been given something, and it's an education. And then the other day is peach and high school day, which I do find we could do. It's like you're a quarterback at the high school football team, but then you kind of flamed out.
Amy
Okay. Like Uncle Rico.
Eddie
Yeah, Uncle Rico.
Matt Carney
There you go.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Haters hate.
Eddie
Haters hate day.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's it.
Eddie
You ever see, like, it's condensation, but it's shaped like the Virgin Mary.
Amy
Yeah. Or like a Cheeto, like Jesus.
Eddie
Yes. All those things that are random. When people become obsessed with it. And sometimes in certain places, they start praying to it because they'll gather around under a bridge at a water or. So here's one. I saw this in the Daily Mail. There is a statue, though. Now, the statue was made by somebody, but the crazy thing that kept happening is tears of blood kept coming from the eyes of the statue. So people were gathered around the statue, and what turned from just a couple people turned into, like, hundreds of people that were worshiping at this statue that was crying tears of blood. So if there was a statue crying tears of blood, Amy, what would you think was happening?
Amy
Okay, well, the first thing that popped into my mind is maybe there are some rusty nails behind the eyeballs of a statue. Yeah.
Eddie
Where's the blood coming from?
Amy
Well, the nails are in there. Maybe the nails are the eyeballs.
Lunchbox
But it's real blood, though, right?
Amy
It's not.
Eddie
Yes, it's real blood.
Amy
I thought it was just, like, dirty water.
Eddie
No, no, no, it's real blood.
Amy
Real blood?
Eddie
Yes. And that's why people were worshiping around it. Because here's a statue that has blood coming down as tears. So what would you think?
Amy
Not rusty water.
Eddie
Oh, so that's where that comes from. You think it's like, brown water?
Amy
Yes. You're thinking, like, maybe the statue had nails in it somehow, and there was just rust.
Eddie
So Gisela Cardia said in 2016 that the statue was crying blood and then giving her revelations to share with believers. So they would come around, they would see the statue, worship at it, they would start to listen to her. Then she started to ask for donations. This is where it starts to become a scam. So she's like, give me money. I am. I'm seeing things. I'm a prophet. So they decided to open up a fraud investigation into this, and they went and they did a swab test on the statue.
Amy
Ketchup?
Eddie
No.
Amy
Oh.
Eddie
Because they thought it was something like ketchup or pig's blood.
Amy
Okay, okay.
Eddie
Turns out the blood matched her blood.
Lunchbox
So she was just putting it on there.
Amy
She was, like, cutting herself.
Eddie
All these people who thought they were seeing something divine, and then the person that had it owned it, who claimed to be getting messages.
Amy
So they're. Let me get this straight. They are just seeing blood come out. How does her blood come out of the eyeball like they're watching it come out?
Eddie
Well, no, but if there's blood on it, she's like this thing cries blood. You can't really watch it live. It's not like a dummy.
Amy
Well, that's why I thought, like, there was something in there and it was the water was coming down and it was causing it. Because I'm not going to believe if I walk up and see dried blood from who knows when that the statue cried it.
Eddie
Well, they believed it then. They believed her, and then they gave her Money. And then all of a sudden, she left. They don't even know where she is.
Lunchbox
She's gone.
Eddie
This is. This is another one of those Netflix series.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Lunchbox. What do you know about this?
Morgan
I think women are crazy, man.
Eddie
I think that's that.
Morgan
Yeah, that's what it is. She set this up to scam to get people to believe in, like, the higher power. And, like, oh, come and look at this. It's amazing. And get a little mittens on your money. Peace out.
Eddie
I think it is a bad look for people that are actually being really good as part of their religion. I think that's a bad look. Makes people second guess a lot of things, which they should. But it sucks for people who are doing it the right way. I never can think of statues, crime, blood, by the way.
Lunchbox
Never, never, never.
Eddie
I'm not gonna go and worship at the undercarriage of a bridge because it just happens to be shaped like Matthew.
Lunchbox
I know, man. In South Texas, they found a tortilla and Jesus was on.
Eddie
I hear you, everyone think there are a lot of tortillas and numbers game. One of those shapes is going to look like Jesus out of, like, the million you're making. I just felt bad for the people and the fact that she disappeared. But what about the guy that tried to scam us? Lunchbox saying he wanted to book us on Kaylin Lowry's podcast and he tried to scam us that wasn't a woman.
Morgan
Yeah, what about it? I don't think that's a big deal.
Amy
Why are you saying he's crazy, but men are crazy?
Morgan
No, he's not crazy. He's just. He has a job to do.
Eddie
Well, she has a job to do.
Morgan
No, no, no.
Eddie
Her job to make money.
Morgan
She prayed on the week. She found people she knew. A little sector.
Amy
Like if I was. If I was like, oh, yeah, sure, I'll share my computer screen with you.
Eddie
I want to be a guest on a big podcast. I'm trying to get my name out there because that's. That's what they're doing.
Amy
They're.
Eddie
Some men are crazy, too, according to your logic. No, no. Okay.
Morgan
She used God.
Eddie
Yeah. No, that's different.
Matt Carney
I mean, that's crazy.
Eddie
He used Kaylen Lowry from Teen mom, though.
Morgan
That's true. They're pretty close.
Eddie
Okay, wake up. Wake up in the morning. Steve, Red Hav trying to put you through. M's riding this week's next bit, and Bobby's on the mic, so you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. All right. Here's the voicemail.
Amy
Hey, Bobby. My son and I listen every Friday to Easy Trivia on our way to school. Tell Eddie he's not doing a great job. He's missing way too many easy questions. So now we're hoping it's not because Amy complained. Now she's going to get the crown back, so me and my son are.
Eddie

Take that into the weekend.

Eddie
Feeling great. Fun fact Friday. I'll go first. The highest number counted to out loud was 1 million. It took the guy 89 days. He counted out loud every number with each day, averaging just over 11, 200 numbers per day. So that's the world record. He got to 1 million and was like, I'm Done.
Morgan
Wow.
Eddie
But every day out loud, he counted 11200 numbers. Oh, that is dedication.
Amy
Wow.
Eddie
Amy, go.
Amy
Alaska is the only US state whose name can be typed using a single row on the keyboard. All the letters are on that.
Bobby Bones
You're right. Wow.
Amy
Yeah. Yeah. I fact checked my phone back.
Eddie
Okay. Making sure. Lunchbox.
Morgan
If you want to know if it's gonna rain outside, you don't need to go to weather.com. you don't need to pull out your phone. Check the weather app. Just go find a pine cone. Because if it's gonna rain, guess what? A pine cone closes up because the seeds don't want to be displaced by the rain. If it's dry and gonna be a nice day, the pine cone is open.
Eddie
That's interesting. I feel it'd be easier, though, just to look at my app.
Lunchbox
Sure.
Eddie
You know right away than to go track down a pine cone. I feel like that's really interesting.
Morgan
I would think a pine cone is more accurate than your app.
Eddie
I would not. Also think it would be. Would be.
Amy
Not everybody has pine.
Eddie
Yeah. And also, that's a good point.
Morgan
Didn't think about that.
Lunchbox
And, like, how far ahead is the pine cone?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. There's a lot to that. Like, my app can tell me in, like, 30 minutes or five minutes, you.
Lunchbox
Know, that it's gonna rain in seven days.
Amy
Hey, but this is good to know for if something shuts down and we no longer have the world, any technology to tell us.
Eddie
That's a really fun fact. I just would still stay with the app, Eddie.
Lunchbox
So the word laser. Did you guys know it's an acronym? So it stands for something? It stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
Eddie
That doesn't sound like laser.
Amy
Laser.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Light amplification.
Eddie
Where's the Z? No.
Amy
Laser.
Lunchbox
No, there's no Z. S. I'm thinking.
Eddie
Of, like, video games.
Lunchbox
Laser.
Eddie
Oh, that would make sense. I would spell laser wrong.
Bobby Bones
I'd spell it L A Z E.
Morgan
R. I think that's laser tag.
Eddie
Maybe that's what it is to me. I've just seen it that way so many times. Okay, I'm sorry. So say it again.
Lunchbox
Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.
Amy
Why'd they get rid of the B?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't know.
Eddie
Dang. Is laser as in laser tag L.
Bobby Bones
A Z E R. Or was that.
Eddie
An American gladiator named Laser? Oh, yeah, there was, because that's probably a thing too.
Amy
I'm thinking more about lunch's pine cone thing, and I think a more accurate Is like, if my knee's starting to hurt. Like, I can tell now if going to rain.
Eddie
Yeah, my fingers will hurt and stuff too, but I can't tell exactly when.
Lunchbox
The pine cone will.
Eddie
Yeah. Laser is a misspelling, by the way. L E R as I spelled it. Ah, yeah. I'm an idiot. There's enough cash in circulation in the United States that every single person in America, adults and kids, could carry $6,500 on them.
Lunchbox
Dang.
Eddie
Yeah, that one. I guess I don't really an all different current. I don't know. That's kind of boring. He act like he just won a prize, though. That's awesome.
Morgan
I mean, I'd like to walk around with 5K.
Eddie
Morgan.
Amy
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
That new car smell that everybody loves. Well, it's a mix of over 200 chemicals.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, very fun.
Lunchbox
And we're slowly dying when we smell it.
Eddie
George Washington's dentures were partially made from hippo tusks.
Amy
Oh, that's what you were gonna say. Wood.
Eddie
Even better.
Lunchbox
Weren't they wood?
Eddie
Like they were made of pine cones.
Bobby Bones
And you could always tell when the weather.
Eddie
All right, there you go. That's Fun Fact Friday. Fun Fact Friday.
Bobby Bones
Bobby Bone Show.
Eddie
Bonehead story of the day.
Morgan
This story comes to us from the Bronx, New York. A man was like, I'm gonna go to the grocery store. I'm gonna pull one of those.
Eddie
Oh.
Morgan
I slit, fell, hurt my back, and sue the store for a lot of money. So he goes, gets a few groceries, walking in the water aisle.
Eddie
Whoa.
Morgan
And he falls off my back, hires a lawyer. Then they release the video and they're like, oh, fraud. He's facing seven years in prison.
Bobby Bones
What's the video look like?
Morgan
He pours water on the floor and then he steps in it.
Lunchbox
I didn't know he poured the water on there.
Bobby Bones
I thought he probably, like, faked a fall without any water on the ground.
Eddie
But he poured water, and so his.
Morgan
Lawyers dropped him immediately once the video was released.
Bobby Bones
Do you not think there are cameras everywhere and if you're going to do that, you can't just take a bottle and dump it.
Amy
No, you gotta be a little more slick.
Bobby Bones
You gotta get poured underneath your pants leg.
Eddie
Yeah, like a key. Like, you pee and then slip on it.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Okay.
Morgan
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
This is Nakona from Montana.
Eddie
I was just listening to Tuesday's podcast, and you guys were talking about all.
Amy
The snow you're supposed to be getting.
Eddie
And I don't wanna be Mean, but.
Amy
You guys aren't gonna get that much snow or cold.
Eddie
At least not compared to what we get out here in eastern Montana. Right now it is currently negative 33.
Bobby Bones
I think the snow killed her. I think the cold killed her. Yeah. We don't compare ourselves to that. We are in a place where it doesn't snow often. So when it does snow, it's like, holy crap.
Eddie
It's all relative to where you grew.
Bobby Bones
Up, where you live. But we had some snow and it.
Eddie
Was like 10 degrees and it was.
Bobby Bones
Really cold for us. I don't like it. I don't like cold. So shout out to you Nakona and Montana for living in that stuff. I couldn't do it. My blood is so thin. So, yeah, the cold is not for me. But I appreciate that and I hope you lived.
Lunchbox
How is negative 30 possible, like, to live in?
Bobby Bones
You don't go out in it.
Eddie
You don't live in it.
Matt Carney
No way.
Eddie
Right when it's that, you don't go.
Bobby Bones
Out in it a whole lot. Next up, this is Darnell from Detroit.
Matt Carney
I was just calling have a idea for a bit. Whoever can do the best Tarzan, yell between the show members and also so you can open it up to callers.
Bobby Bones
All right, Amy, you want to tackle a tarzaniel.
Amy
Do you know what that is?
Eddie
We're not going to play one. We want a reference.
Bobby Bones
Hold on, everybody. Here we go.
Eddie
And go.
Amy
Is that Tarzan?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or Inya.
Eddie
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
Maybe Inya.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That's Amy's.
Amy
I don't have a Tarzan.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I can give it a shot.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Amy
Oh, yeah, same.

A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here, you're going to get it in a mug or a glass. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while. At your next Starbucks visit, picture yourself going for a drive. What comes to mind? Potholes. Those guys on motorcycles that drive up in between you in the lane. Sleepy truck drivers. Red light runners. Distracted pedestrians crossing where they shouldn't. Yes, sometimes it feels like the road is out to get you. But thankfully Hyundai offers available class exclusive advanced safety features that help protect you and your family. They put your safety first and everything else second. For example, you can change lanes with much more confidence thanks to the available Blind Spot View monitor, which shows you a live video feed of your blind spots. Learn more about Hyundai@HyundaiUSA.com or call 562-314-4603 for complete details. It is Ryan here and I have a question for you. What do you do when you win? Like, are you a fist pumper?

Dietz and Watson's been making meats and cheeses the right way since forever. What's that mean? It means never cutting corners. Ever. It means cooking, not processing. It means our Virginia brand ham that's cooked to perfection, then twice baked to layer the flavors. It takes more time, but you can taste the difference. We come to work every day to do it the right way, even if it's the hard way. Because if it's not right for us, it's not right for you. Dietz and Watson. It's a family thing since 1939.
