First we're chilling in the infinity pool, onto massages at Sense's Spa, then gliding into Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge for a toast. We're even gonna kick back with Mickey on Disney's private island. That's how we get down. Cause Disney Cruise Line is where we came to play. The Apple Watch Series 10 is here. It has the biggest display ever.

Lunchbox
Come on, Bobby. Bobby Bones transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
This is a Bobby Wong show. Let's go. Hey, here we are again. Morning, studio.
Eddie
Morning.
Bobby Bones
Okay, we get a lot of emails. We do our A segment every single day, which we'll do in a minute, where people mostly ask for advice. But we have a different kind of email here now rating all the guys on this show and their looks.
Amy
Why?
Bobby Bones
I don't know why. Scuba Steve.
Lunchbox
What.
Bobby Bones
What prompted her to write this?
Lunchbox
She doesn't say why. She just sent it to the mailbag. And I felt like she's just a bold listener that wanted to talk about the guys in the show.
Bobby Bones
Okay, let. Guys, you wanna.
Lunchbox
I mean, I don't mind it. Does Amy mind it?
Amy
Amy's rating? I mean, if. If every guy is okay with it, if even one of you is like, we. I don't feel comfortable with it, then we pull it.
Bobby Bones
What guys did she rate?
Lunchbox
Scuba, Bobby, Eddie, Lunchbox, and Ray.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Ray, you go with it. Yeah, Lunch.
Eddie
I'm not embarrassed to be called a 10.
Lunchbox
Let's go, dude.
Bobby Bones
All right, let's go ahead.
Lunchbox
Do you want to start from least to most?
Bobby Bones
No, just read it in the order she wrote it.
Amy
And just keep in mind, guys, like, looks are relative. Like, everybody has.
Bobby Bones
Why are you looking at me? I don't.
Amy
Because I always looking, right? Yeah, because.
Eddie
No, I think Bobby's getting his feelings hurt.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
You think I'm ugly.
Amy
No. And I just think in general, I don't like commenting on people's looks or bodies, but go ahead.
Lunchbox
All right, so KP writes, Bobby, you're a solid 8.5, and if you lose the glasses, you're a 9.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
So if you wow, but you won't.
Lunchbox
See if you lose the glasses.
Eddie
Exactly.
Lunchbox
You pick.
Bobby Bones
8.5. Pretty solid, though. That's about 2 points higher than I think I am. Anything else about me?
Lunchbox
That's it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, who's next?
Lunchbox
Eddie is next. Okay, Eddie, you're a seven. And he'd be even better if he wore his beanie hat. He'd be an eight. He's hot. Watch me tomorrow. Wear my beanie hat for the rest of the year.
Bobby Bones
She wants snowboard. Ready? Next up.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox, you're up next. Lunchbox is a 5.5, but could be a 6 if he's a bit nicer and less of an egomaniac.
Bobby Bones
He's penalizing you for your attitude, though, that's fine.
Eddie
I mean, here's the thing. Did she send a picture of herself? I doubt it. Because I'll rate her, and I bet you it's not very good.
Lunchbox
Stop it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And.
Lunchbox
And Ray is up last. And Ray, the guy next to me, is an 8.5. Yeah, but with stacked shoes, he's pretty much a 9.
Amy
I love how she bumped everybody up based on. If you do this, you will get a half a point.
Lunchbox
Now, she did talk about the ladies. You want me say that as well?
Bobby Bones
I don't. Is anything. Nothing mean about the ladies?
Lunchbox
They're actually not mean. It's pretty nice.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Lunchbox
So Amy's a 10. Just because.
Amy
Oh my gosh.
Bobby Bones
She'S French. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
And Morgan is a 9. If she studied her geography a little more, should be a 9.5.
Amy
Geography there, you know, it's fair.
Bobby Bones
Is that it?
Lunchbox
That's it. Yes, from kp.
Bobby Bones
Is KP a guy or girl? I assumed a girl. I assumed, too.
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
She's a loyal female listener. This is her thoughts.
Bobby Bones
Well, if she's loyal, then it's true. Yeah. Well, kp. Thank you. Hello, Bobby Bones. My name is Liz. I'm dating guy right now. I don't know what to think about the fact that he's 32 years old and only takes baths. So he's got a great corporate job, a nice car, a beautiful apartment, really seems to have his life together. But for some reason, I can't get over the fact that he never takes showers. When I asked him why, he told me that he never like to take him as a kid and only likes to take about two showers a month. And that's when he's in a rush. But I think this is really weird. And I feel like it might be some crazy thing he has with his mom or something.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
He told me he's very close with his mother. I just feel like men don't and shouldn't take baths all the time. On occasion, sure, but not all the time. Right. Is anyone else dating a guy ever married to a guy who only takes baths? Signed Liz. It's weird, but it's not a deal breaker. If you're finding a deal breaker out of his bath habits, then you're wanting a deal breaker somewhere in this. It's weird. I take the occasional bath.
Amy
Yeah, occasional.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. But even that I hear I get crap for. And you know what? I'm okay with that. I like a bath. Maybe one a day, even.
Lunchbox
Get out of here.
Bobby Bones
Maybe okay, maybe four to five a week. How about that?
Eddie
Wow.
Amy
Okay. But you also shower either before or after your bath, don't you?
Bobby Bones
Most times, yeah.
Amy
95 of times I shower straight bathing.
Bobby Bones
Sometimes I'll show shower before and then get in the bath. Yeah, but that ruins the warm. That ruins the warm because your body's already adjusted to warm. And then you just get in water that's warm. The move is to take a bath first. But then sometimes you're getting there as, like, I know. Floating stuff. And you're like, I know.
Lunchbox
Gross.
Bobby Bones
This is what I'm gonna say about this. Liz, I don't think you should assign mother issues with him just because he likes to take bats and because he's close to his mom.
Amy
And that was a leap.
Bobby Bones
I think, as Morgan would say, this is a yellow flag. But I would say a slightly yellow flag. I don't think it's a big deal. It's weird, but let him look at your bathroom habits. I'm sure you got some secret stuff going on that you don't want anybody to know. Yes, it's weird, but I don't think you cancel a relationship because of it. Morgan, what would you do if you're dating a guy? He only takes baths?
Amy
I mean, yeah, I would definitely find it weird, but if that's the worst thing about him, I mean, I think you're doing pretty great.
Bobby Bones
I think the same thing. I think she's looking for a way out. So we're gonna conclude with yes, it's odd. All odd things aren't bad. I don't know. Another. I don't know a single guy who only takes baths.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
And it's probably from some childhood thing, But I don't think it's worth ending a relationship over if this is why you're ending the relationship. There could be many other real things. So, Liz, we will leave you with that. If you're looking for a reason to break up with them, you have it. Yeah, break up with them. You don't want them anyway. But if this is the only thing, you're like, everything, but this is perfect. Don't let this ruin this relationship. We will also like to say it's weird. That's from somebody who takes a test four to five times a week. Five most fun facts of the week is brought to you by Amy.
Eddie
Number five.
Amy
So the Beatles considered naming their album in 1969 Everest, but since no one wanted to go to Tibet for a photo shoot, the album was called Abbey Road.
Bobby Bones
And they walked right outside the studio Right.
Lunchbox
Right there. It's amazing.
Bobby Bones
Isn't that funny?
Lunchbox
Hilarious.
Bobby Bones
They were like, I don't know. Walter Neus. What's the laziest thing we can do right outside?
Lunchbox
Paul, let's.
Bobby Bones
Mine's terrible. Yours is pretty good.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Mine is nice.
Lunchbox
Number four.
Amy
In Singapore, using someone else's WI fi network without their permission is punishable by up to three years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if anyone's actually done that and served that time or if that's one of those dumb laws. Like, Amy will go, I found the dumb law from Wisconsin. You can't chew gum and close your right eye at the same time.
Amy
I bet this really has been enforced. I don't know callers they've ever called in Singapore.
Bobby Bones
Podcast numbers. We ain't that strong over there.
Lunchbox
Number three.
Amy
So people who run marathons finish the race about a half an inch shorter than when they started. It's the temporary effect your back muscles have, like, tensing up over the course of the race.
Bobby Bones
How do you get taller, do you think, though? Because the next time I want to go in, like, my driver's license, I want to do that. So if they officially list me at 6:1, because I'm almost there.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Then I can tell Caitlin, no, I'm listed at 6:1. Stop telling me I'm not.
Amy
You could probably do, like, a cocktail of things, like go see a chiropractor, go to a yoga class, and then maybe get stretched by someone all before.
Lunchbox
The DMV and just wear high heels.
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
And not tell them.
Amy
Oh, interesting.
Bobby Bones
And I don't even know if you get measured at the dmv.
Lunchbox
I think you could just tell them, and they'll be like, all right, you.
Eddie
Just write it down.
Bobby Bones
Let look at my driver's L. Let's see if.
Amy
If it says, you know, that it says 61.
Bobby Bones
I just told him. It says 61.
Lunchbox
Number two.
Amy
So Jeffrey Dmer once consumed a sleeping pill lace drink that he made for a victim by accident.
Bobby Bones
So Jeffrey Dmer, by the way, is the cannibal guy that killed people. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And ate him.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And so he tragic made a drink for somebody else and accidentally drank it. It reminds me of what's the movie with Andre the Giant Princess Bride? And they're playing the game. We're to drink the one that's poisonous.
Amy
Yes. Except for, yeah, he was intended for a victim, but then he's the one that ended up passing out indelibly or.
Bobby Bones
Whatever he says indispensable yeah.
Amy
Inconceivable.
Bobby Bones
I knew it's something like that. This is a Jeffrey Dahmer story. We've turned. Yeah, that's a terrible story.
Amy
This is dark. But the. The guy, the victim lived for me. This is good. Stole his clothes, a hundreds of dollars and a watch. Got away with it.
Bobby Bones
So he robbed Jeffrey Dahmer.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Amy
I would do take some.
Bobby Bones
I think I would just run. I don't think I'd rob. I just run. Yeah. That stinks.
Amy
I don't know. I mean, I. I was googling more about this when I. After I read this fun fact, I came across it and I'm not that fun. No, I know you're right.
Bobby Bones
This is on dark Dark fact Tuesday.
Amy
Sorry. But it is true.
Bobby Bones
All right. And number one.
Amy
So the myth that eating car can help you see in the dark was invented by the British Air Force during World War II. They were trying to explain how British air raids were so successful without telling the Germans about the existence of radar. So they didn't want to like, give radar the credit. So they're like, oh, yeah, we just been eating a lot of carrots.
Bobby Bones
Do you know that there is something you can do to make you see better in the dark? Just read the story. So in on the islands, the. The guys that are driving their boats that work out there, they run into coral reefs a lot. So. And that if you smoke weed, it helps you see at night better. And people always wondered, how are they not crashing their boats? And they'd always swore by it for years and years and years. And apparently it actually does something that allows you to see better at night. It messes with your eyes.
Lunchbox
This is in Jamaica.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Ray, what do you. What are you nodding at? So Steve says, yeah, Jamaica. In Jamaica, that's what they got.
Lunchbox
They do that a lot over there.
Bobby Bones
They do. And it's. But then they tested it, and it does help you see better at night.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Which is crazy.
Amy
Crazy.
Bobby Bones
That's. Carrots. Do not.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So, kids.
Amy
No, no, no.

For the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.
Amy
This guy, Brendan Burt, was driving in Iowa. It was late at night, didn't know where he was going, took a wrong turn. But that wrong turn saved people's lives because he saw a house on fire. And he said he just had this like, gut feeling that he should go check and see if anybody is inside. So he got out of his car and went and started banging on the windows and screaming, fire, fire. And then out the front door because, yes, these kids were asleep. They woke up 8 years old, 14 years old, 17 years old, and then a 22 year old. They all emerged from the house. The parents were out of town. And they are just super grateful for Brendan saving their children. And here's Brendan talking about it.
Bobby Bones
They came out the door like, I.
Eddie
Just felt, I just wanted to break.
Lunchbox
Down and cry like, I don't even know these people here.
Bobby Bones
You know, that's a commitment. I'm glad he did it, but you have to go, okay, I'm gonna go bang on that door. Yeah, I'm gonna go yell fire and bang on a door. And yes, there's a fire, but still, you gotta have that in you because that's, that's risky. Once Eddie saw a fire, I did.
Lunchbox
And it ended up being a tobacco smokehouse. And I knocked on doors saying, guys.
Bobby Bones
Wasn'T a fire at all, was it? No.
Lunchbox
They said, what are you Doing that's.
Amy
A smokehouse, but better safe than sorry.
Bobby Bones
I agree.
Eddie
And the video is crazy because of.
Bobby Bones
The fire, and, you know.
Eddie
Well, you see the people running out of the house, and the whole porch is on fire, so they're running right underneath the flames.
Bobby Bones
Y. Eddie's video or the video Amy's talking about?
Lunchbox
There's no video of mine.
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay, okay. All right. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. All right, Eddie said his mind was blown because he saw someone at Chuck E. Cheese. So we have 20 questions, all yes or no questions. Amy, ready?
Amy
Ready.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, is it a celebrity?
Lunchbox
Oh, absolutely.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Okay. Amy, go.
Amy

Lunchbox
Yeah. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Is it a man?

I'd say it's a man. Celebrity with kids.
Amy
Wife with him?

Bobby Bones
It's got to be Aldine.
Amy
Like, would you think you're shocked to see him? Because you would think he would have his own Chuck E. Cheese at his house?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That's good, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's real good. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Lunchbox
I've heard about his house, so. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
You guys want to guess? Keep going.
Amy
I think it's originally who I thought, which is crazy. Yeah, that's a great job, because I was so read.
Bobby Bones
Does he have so many songs that we know every word to?
Lunchbox
I don't know if we know words to him.
Amy
Does he have chains on his wallet?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh, wallet chain.
Lunchbox
That's great. Yes.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
What about a bandana coming out of the pocket?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Lunchbox
Well, a lot of yeses there.
Bobby Bones
I think we know it is. It's Dolly Parton. It's Aldean.
Lunchbox
It looks like he just came from a show. He was dressed like Jason Aldean.
Morgan
He was.
Lunchbox
The chain was out the Earrings were on. He didn't have the cowboy hat, but that was it. Everything else was Aldean, the Affliction shirt, all of it.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Because I've spent time with Jason. Normal circumstances. Ish. And he's just a dude in a T shirt.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And a ball cap.
Lunchbox
Dude, the cowboy.
Bobby Bones
Ha.
Lunchbox
The cowboy boots were on everything. I'm like, well, I mean, that's him. There's no. No doubt about it.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if he came from something then.
Lunchbox
I don't know what he told me.
Bobby Bones
What did you guys talk about?
Lunchbox
Oh, we just like, hey, dad life. Well, look at us here. You know, we just did that.
Bobby Bones
And these are so similar.
Eddie
Yeah, dad life.
Lunchbox
And then he said, yeah, man. You know, I do this, like when, when I'm trying to get my kids to do something. The reward is, I'll take you to Chuck E. Cheese. And so here we are, paying off, paying off the reward. I'm like, that's. That's cool.
Bobby Bones
I didn't buy the Chuck E. Cheese.
Lunchbox
I know.
Amy
He's like, if you're extra good, I'll build you one.
Bobby Bones
Not good for you. You saw Jason.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's like, what world are we living in?
Bobby Bones
Like Taurus. And you're like, hey, we should get some pizza at Chuck E. Cheese. You go back home going, guys, in Nashville, the suit. The stars are Chuck E. Cheese. They're everywhere. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
Any other tidbits from this bit, this, this segment?
Lunchbox
No, that's just it. I mean, I was just shocked. I wanted to share that with you guys.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. Good job, Amy.
Lunchbox
Thanks.
Bobby Bones
You nailed that. I thought the pyro question was a little odd. No, it could have been anyone.
Lunchbox
But yeah, he loves pyro.
Bobby Bones
He does love pyro. There was a mega mansion in LA that they had started building. And listen to this. About a decade ago, somebody in Bel Air started building this house. And he said it's going to be a half a billion dollar house. They wanted. He wanted to sell 500 million bucks. That was the goal. And his company got into some trouble that'd go bankrupt. So they just sold it for $126 million. Half of the original asking price since the bankruptcy. So a mega mansion sold for 126. What's funny is after you build it down, after you like to strip, it's like, oh, that's all 500 to 250 to 20. But if I were to go to 126 million, that's wild.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but it's supposed to be a good Deal.
Bobby Bones
That's what it says. Good deal. Half the asking price, half off is always awesome.
Lunchbox
Of course.
Bobby Bones
126, it's nicknamed the one it sold at an auction over the weekend. It's still not clear who bought it, but with closing costs and commissions, they're actually paying 141 million. Here's what you get. Do you care? Yes. It's 105,000 square feet on four acres overlooking Hollywood. 21 bedrooms. You don't even go in those. We have four. I don't even go in three of them. Well, two. I play PlayStation 1. It has 21 bedrooms, 42 bathrooms.
Amy
What? Why?
Bobby Bones
Plus seven half baths, 50 indoor parking spaces. It has. They have five pools.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Why do you need five?
Lunchbox
One for everyone.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's it. Everybody get your own pool. A movie theater, a bowling alley, a golf simulator room, a salon and a SPA, and a 10,000 square foot sky deck. Oh my gosh. With 20 down, the mortgage would be about 600 000amonth. So 600 000amonth? Plus 80 grand in property taxes a month.
Lunchbox
Oh my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Wild.
Lunchbox
I mean, who are these people?
Bobby Bones
Like, where does this money even come from? It's like alien. It's like alien money. And here is Lunchbox trying to buy Bon Jovi's apartment.
Lunchbox
Come on.
Bobby Bones
So Jason Gibbol is Lunchboxes alter ego who tries to make deals. And he often says businessman making business.
Eddie
Deals, trying to get that money.
Bobby Bones
We talked briefly about bon Jovi's apartment. $22 million in New York City. Lunchbox calls to try to make them a deal. And as he does, he weaves in Bon Jovi lyrics.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
Oh my gosh.
Bobby Bones
For example, it's my life. Maybe you know this song right here, it's my. He weaves that one in. Maybe wanted dead or alive. Here is Lunchbox trying to call and buy Jon Bon Jovi's apartment. Hi.
Lunchbox
This is different. Can I help you?
Eddie
Oh yeah, this is Jason Gibble, businessman making business deals, trying to get that money. And I was trying to call and get some information on 155 W. 11th.
Bobby Bones
St. Wow, prime property.
Lunchbox
Beautiful piece.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, beautiful. Like I looked online, I was like, man, it's my life. It's now or never. If I'm going to upgrade to this because I'm 40, I'm not going to live forever.
Amy
Well, this is the place for you.
Lunchbox
It's 4000 square ft, floor to ceiling windows. You over.
Eddie
When I look at those windows, when I was looking at the pictures online, I was like, Man, I want that place. I want it dead or alive, I don't care. I got to be in there.
Lunchbox
Imagine this. You open up the doors, you come right out, and there's the city surrounding you.
Eddie
The best part is, here's the best part of it. My wife, she tells me, oh, my gosh, you're not romantic. Basically, she says, you give love a bad name. Well, guess what? When I surprise her with this, that's gonna change.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I hear ya. Okay, so it has four bedrooms, walk in closets.
Eddie
Now, my question, like, for real, like, are you guys looking for a serious buyer? Once I submit this offer, I'm gonna be living on a prayer that you accept it.
Lunchbox
You know, all you've been doing is quoting Bon Jovi. I don't know if you're serious or you're not. I'm a very busy woman. I have many properties to show, and you're wasting my time. Have a good day.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's a good one. There's a pause right there. That's a nice one. My. I guess the thing that strikes me is you could just say those things normally, like, you know, when you give love a bad name, but it's almost like you reading, you're talking normal, then you're like, and you give love a bad name.
Lunchbox
You wrote those down, right?
Eddie
Yeah, I wrote those down because I gotta remember them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's good though. Any luck? Did you get it? Did you get a showing?
Eddie
I know she didn't. She didn't call me back.
Bobby Bones
You left her number though, right?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, I was like, no, no, no, don't hang up. And I try to call her back. Nothing.

It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.
Eddie
My man Pablo decided he's gonna go scuba diving off the coast of California. So he gets his gear, goes out, ah, let's get in the water. Loses consciousness in the water. Oh, what's he gonna do? He's unconscious. Luckily for him, there was a group of mermaids nearby. Oh yeah. I don't understand what they're doing, but they're dressed in mermaid tails.
Bobby Bones
But not real mermaids. Like people do like doing role play.
Amy
Mermaids.
Eddie
It's become so popular. There's groups of mermaids that go out for swims. And they were out for a swim and they on Pablo got his gear off, gave him mouth to mouth and got him to the paramedics.
Bobby Bones
What if you're that dude? You're like coming to. Coming back. Exactly.
Lunchbox
What the. He's like, I'm dead. 100.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Mermaids making out with him also.
Bobby Bones
How do you swim with that tail on?
Eddie
It looks so difficult. No, we go to the. When the summer is here, we'd go to the city pool or whatever and there'd be people in mermaid. And I'm like, that has to be so dangerous for your kid to be swimming in a mermaid costume.
Bobby Bones
But I never meant for mermaiding. Or is it a costume to look. There's a difference. Like if you were dressed as a little mermaid, that probably wouldn't be super safe to jump in the leg because.
Eddie
You can't really move your leg.
Bobby Bones
Keeps trying to move like a mermaid right now.
Eddie
Yeah, like you have your legs stuck together. I don't know. I always thought I saw him at the pool and I was like, that doesn't seem safe. But I never told their parents that. I just let them be them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Good for you. Hey, so the mermaid saved the guy. That's what we liked.
Eddie
Yeah, the mermaids saved the guy. They gave a little mouth. Mouth.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That's a weird way to give mouth to mouth. You do full mouth.
Amy
Like, oh, my gosh, I hope. I mean, I would be thankful if Lunchbox gave me mouth to mouth, but.
Bobby Bones
I don't want you never get that taste ever.
Eddie
Are you happy about it right now?
Bobby Bones
You need to have a hair and that tastes in your mouth forever.
Eddie
Are you thinking about it right now, Amy Be giving you mouth.
Bobby Bones
That's what it's all about. Good job, mermaids. That was.
Eddie
Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
Bones. Wake up.
Bobby Bones
You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning.
Lunchbox
His wigs.
Bobby Bones
Next bit, and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is. All right, let's go over to the voicemail line.
Lunchbox
Hello, this is Jessica. This is Nolan, and we have a Morning Corny.
Bobby Bones
Why do spiders make good baseball players? Because they catch flies. Have a great day. Love your show. Pretty good.
Amy
They've got it down.
Bobby Bones
Here's another one. Hi.
Amy
I have a Morning Corny for Amy.
Lunchbox
What is the best time on the clock?
Bobby Bones
6:30, hands down. We'll pick Suey. Hands down. Yeah. Okay. Let's go over to the pro, though. Here's Amy with the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.
Amy
How do you make the number one disappear?
Bobby Bones
How do you make the number one disappear?
Amy
You add a G and it's gone.
Bobby Bones
Add a G in 5, 1. That was the Morning Corny on the phone right now is Ron, who lives in South Carolina. Hey, Ron, what's happening?
Lunchbox
Hey, Bob. Good morning. Good morning, studio. Morning. So we talk. I hear we talk a lot about running into celebrities and how to react and whether to approach them or not. So I find out. Yes, on Sunday. My daughter lives in an adjacent state to where I live. Chris Stapleton is going to be staying next to her in the house, like 20ft away from her for a month, recording an album. I'm curious as to the studio's thoughts on how they would react to Chris Stapleton staying in the house literally next to them. Do you just let him stay there and hang out and not make it public, or do you go over and introduce yourself and welcome him to the town that you're in?
Bobby Bones
It's an interesting question.
Amy
It's all you.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So this is What I would say, mostly knowing Chris is a very private person just to begin with. So I think a lot of what I'm gonna say reflects not only celebrity culture, but also Chris himself. It would be very kind to offer anyone any sort of help, period. Okay, so I'm gonna lead with that. What I would do, I wouldn't go over to the house and knock on the door and be like, hey, Chrissy Stapleton.
Amy
It's my favorite song.
Bobby Bones
What I would do, first of all, is nothing. I would respect the privacy of whomever was in that house. Chris Stapleton or Amy's cousin, it doesn't matter. At your place, inside those walls, that is your private area. Next up, if I were to see at a time that I was out maybe getting in the driveway, the car in the driveway, and they were Chris, somebody from his team, you could just say, hey, guys, I know Ron, you're not living next door. Be like, hey, I'm Ron. I'm the neighbor. If you guys need anything, feel free to come knock on the door. You know, I would offer your services at a time when it wasn't weird to offer your services. That's nice. I just don't think for anyone, I would go up and knock on the door and go, what's going on in there? Okay, Well, I don't even like when people do that to me.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
Like, as a normal person, whenever I just move into a place.
Amy
Oh, so, like. But if you would normally be that person that welcomes and someone into the neighborhood, so you just set that aside. If you're normally.
Bobby Bones
Because you know the situation.
Amy
Bread and cookies, something like that.
Bobby Bones
Because you know the situation. And you know, because I'm telling you now, now, that Chris is a very private person, I would say that you do not. You'll knock on the door. That if you do see them out in an organic circumstance, you can go, hey, I'm Ron. If you guys need anything, let me know.
Amy
You know what, they're probably not going to need anything.
Bobby Bones
But you're right, you're right.
Amy
Or they're good.
Bobby Bones
Like the second or third time, if you do kind of develop some sort of, you know, relationship, like you talk, you know, you picking up paper in your underwear outside. I don't know, be like, hey, we'd love to make dinner for you guys. You could do that. But that needs to be like third or fourth. Once you have a conversation and you have this super substancey relationship, but at least you have that. So I would say, veer to the side of leave him Alone, but it's pretty cool.
Lunchbox
Would you tell the whole town?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
No, I wouldn't. Because I wouldn't want the one told on me.
Amy
Right?
Bobby Bones
That's my advice, Ron.
Lunchbox
That's good advice.
Bobby Bones
If it were John party, I'd go over with a keg, be like, what up, John party? Different for everybody. Yes, different for everybody. All right, Ron, have a great day. Good morning, buddy. I hope you have an awesome rest of the day.
Lunchbox
Thank you. You too.
Bobby Bones
I just confused myself with that Sent minutes. All right, Bones. I was watching a video of a kid play basketball in high school. He's from Virginia. His name's Evan Randall. He shoots a three pointer. Before it goes in, he does a backflip on the court. Whoa. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. It's awesome. And he makes it.
Lunchbox
Did he just do a backflip? I think he did.
Eddie
He just shot the three, banked it in, and did a backflip.
Bobby Bones
Alexander. Alexander's even giving him standing O.
Lunchbox
Did we get that on film?
Bobby Bones
It was awesome. ESPN put it on. I thought maybe the refs would, like, call tech or something, cuz but I guess doing a backflip's not illegal on the court.
Lunchbox
Dude, he did a back. A backflip while the ball was still in the air.
Bobby Bones
That's what I said as soon as he shot it. He didn't do it after he made it. He did it while I was in the air.
Lunchbox
That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
That's from wtkr. Amy, what's your crowning moment from high school?
Amy
I think this is just something that would be in my head, maybe not others, but I was on this committee called hall of Honor, and, like, a bunch of alumni from Austin High would come back, back, and the gym was filled with people, you know, current students and previous past students. And I was tapped to give a speech. And it was my first time ever doing public speaking in front of a group. And I was very nervous, but I did it. And so I think that was the time when I realized, like, oh, I can do this. And my chemistry teacher was in charge of the club, and she didn't think very highly of me, but she was so proud of me after I did it that it really left me with, like, this good feeling. So that's what I'll never forget.
Bobby Bones
I know what lunchbox is gonna be, of course. Let's hear it.
Amy
Oh, we can say it together.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Eddie
Well, I mean, I have so many, but I guess the one I would pick is it was 1999. It was prom night. And we're all there, gathered at this nice hotel, dressed up in our tuxes and nice dresses, and they said, prom King Anderson High school class in 99 is. And they called my name and I was crowned. I walked up on stage, they had the music, music playing, and they stuck the crown on my head, and they said, you are the prom king and you can brag about it for the rest of your life.
Bobby Bones
They said that?
Eddie
No, but in my head, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
That is what they were saying.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's cool.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Can you tell us about that? Probably once a month, at least.
Eddie
Because not a lot of people get crowned prom king. Only one a year.
Bobby Bones
Do you think that's in your top five life moments? Oh, yeah. Top three life moments. Kids.
Eddie
Yep.
Lunchbox
He's got three kids.
Bobby Bones
I know. I'm afraid to ask if it's a top life moment, is being named prom king your top life moment?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Eddie
I mean, you know how incred you watch it. Like, what's the big thing when you watch a movie out of Hollywood? Is the problem is being crowned or queen?
Bobby Bones
It is out of Hollywood. Yes.
Eddie
And, like, I did it wrong. I am not wrong. They make movies about it. That's how big a deal it is.
Amy
It is.
Bobby Bones
And did you know that you would win?
Eddie
I had. I didn't know because they said you could only win one award. And I already won class clown. And so I was like, ah, I can't win another one.
Bobby Bones
But, boom.
Amy
What up, class clown?
Bobby Bones
When you went back to your high school reunion, did they remember you as prom king? Yeah. Yeah.
Eddie
Well, I checked.
Amy
They chant prom re Crown you.
Eddie
I thought about wearing my crown to the reunions, but I didn't take it. But I did.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, what's your crowning moment from high school?
Lunchbox
Really? You want me to follow that?
Bobby Bones
I know.
Lunchbox
I mean, whatever I'm gonna say is not good. As good as that. But I did. My senior high school, I made a homemade helmet that looked just like our football team's helmet. It was gold. It had a Mustang on both sides. And I wore it everywhere. Pep rallies to all the games. And everyone was like, oh, that's the dude with a helmet. So when I graduated, I passed it on to the next. As a junior. I forget his name. I gave it to him. So this is your helmet now. And I think. I don't know for sure, but they may still be doing the helmet to this day.
Eddie
There is no chance.
Bobby Bones
We gotta find out if they're still doing the Helmet. There's no chance.
Lunchbox
I hope they are. I know for sure it went back two generations.
Bobby Bones
Other than two classes.
Lunchbox
Not two generations.
Amy
A lot.
Bobby Bones
So for me, it high school, because I went to such a small school, was seventh through 12th grade. And I think for most folks though, it was 10th, 11th, 12th, 9th, 10th, 11th. But it was. And it's kind of a cop out to do seventh grade. But it happened every year in seventh grade. I was named the captain of our 12th grade quiz bowl team. And I was like, this is awesome.
Eddie
That's your brag.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I was in seventh grade. I was like 12 and I was facing, I was facing off against 17 year olds.
Lunchbox
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
In Quiz Bowl. And so. And I was captain every year until I graduated. But when I was a senior, nobody really cared that I used to be wonderkid. Oh, man, it was. I'd roll up. I was by far the youngest and smallest seventh, eighth grader. They're like, there's the kid, there's the kid. It's pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie to you.
Eddie
I mean, you guys couldn't sound dorkier. I gave a speech. I was a cabin.
Amy
I wasn't voted prom queen. We don't have that. Bobby wasn't prom king. Yeah, we're not. Like, I literally, when you started this segment, I texted my best friend from high school real quick and I'm like, what's something from high school I can be proud of?
Bobby Bones
Because I was like, when your mom had to come walk you to class every day because you were late when your mom showed up, Y.
Amy
My friend didn't bring that one up. She did say you, you graduated with a high level of adhd. And she said, she also said you also overcame some boyfriend adversity.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Remember when your boyfriend.
Amy
That's what she's talking about.
Bobby Bones
Scribbled in the. The word but misspelled it.
Amy
He didn't scribble it in. He keyed my.
Bobby Bones
Keyed it in her car. And he spelled H O R E. Ex boyfriend.
Amy
I had broken up with him.
Lunchbox
What an idiot.
Amy
And she said, she also goes, this is my friend Andrew. She goes, I'm sure you did some charity work too.
Bobby Bones
Well, thank you all for reminiscing.
Lunchbox
That was good times, man.
Bobby Bones
None of us close this video. This kid doing a flip. But I feel like I know you guys a little better now.
Eddie
This story comes to us from Georgia. A 43 year old woman announced in October, hey, I'm pregnant. I'm having a baby. So she Waits till the summer baby's born, gets seven weeks paid vacation. Only problem is, they started looking at the pictures of her two babies. They look nothing alike. It was a second fake pregnancy. She got busted.
Bobby Bones
A second fake pregnancy?
Eddie
Yeah, they were both fake. She had done one pregnancy.
Bobby Bones
Who are the baby? Where are the babies?
Eddie
No, they were just pictures she got off the Internet.
Bobby Bones
Oh, she wasn't, like, holding them?
Eddie
No, no, no, no. Like, she just took the pictures and like, oh, here are my babies. And so she did it not once, but twice. Got away with the first time.
Bobby Bones
Second time, she lived with people thinking she had a baby and she was a mom and she wasn't.
Eddie
Yes.
Amy
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Pretty good racket.
Eddie
So she got 14 weeks of paid vacation.
Amy
Wow. I'm pregnant.
Bobby Bones
I'm here to tell you.
Lunchbox
See the picture.
Bobby Bones
Well, you will. Trust me. Wow. Dang. I can't believe she got away with that. Who found it?
Eddie
Well, someone. She posted pictures like, man, those babies look nothing alike.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Eddie
And they did some digging. No babies whatsoever. Never gave birth.
Bobby Bones
How do you do Digging, I guess hospital records, hackers.
Eddie
I don't know. It just says they opened an investigation, found out she was never pregnant. It they never gave bir.
Bobby Bones
Asked her. Hey, come in here. Are you.
Lunchbox
Probably.
Bobby Bones
Do you have any babies? No. Okay, Investigation. Investigation closed.
Amy
Mike D. Does that thing where he can reverse image to see if it's from Google. And so maybe.
Eddie
Oh, you think they got a mic.
Amy
D Working from State of Georgia. Already been suspicious because some babies just don't look alike. So you have to already think something's up.
Bobby Bones
Two different dads. Yeah, common.
Lunchbox
That's true.
Amy
Happens.
Bobby Bones
But that's a funny story. Hey, don't do that.
Amy
Everybody out there, but, you know, people are.
Eddie
I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
Here's a voicemail we got last night.
Lunchbox
Hey, Bobby, I'm about to go.
Bobby Bones
Give me another tattoo. The tattoo artist quoted between 4 to 600, and I was wondering about how much should I tip for one that cost that much? Let me know what you think. It's a pretty expensive tattoo, I think. I mean, I only have small ones and none of mine cost that much.
Amy
He must be getting something a little more detailed.
Bobby Bones
Full body or old English? Oh, yes, I would say, and I don't know the rules of a tattoo artist, I would say 50 bucks. If it's 400 bucks, I don't think it's a 20 rule.
Amy
Oh, it's not.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if it Were me, I'd probably tip 50, 60 bucks if that were the case. But that's why Mike D is our fact checker. Mike, what's a tattoo tip rule?
Lunchbox
It's hard to say.
Bobby Bones
What is it? 20.
Amy
20.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay. Well, then according to Miss Manners, you need. Who knew? I learned something here. So if it's 400 bucks, that's an $80 tip.
Lunchbox
Oof.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot of tip. But it's also a lot of tattoo.
Amy
Yeah. And you want it done right. Right. So just make sure you let them know you're gonna be tipping.
Lunchbox
Does that take like two days, three days? Tattoo.
Amy
We don't know.
Lunchbox
Boy.
Bobby Bones
For that money, I would think you have to go back a couple times.
Lunchbox
So when do you tip? At the very end or like a little bit?
Bobby Bones
At the end of the day, you put money on the table, and every time it messes up, you take a.
Lunchbox
Dollar back, it messes up. Oops.
Bobby Bones
At the end.
Lunchbox
Okay. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
At the end. Or whenever you pay for it. Yeah.
Amy
Which? You pay it.
