• The national Verizon outage becomes a hot topic:

12. Amy & The Long Island Medium (54:47–57:55)

• Amy says she’s been offered a reading from Theresa Caputo (Long Island Medium) for Caputo’s new video podcast.
• The rest of the show votes she should do it — Eddie is eager for a spot, and Bobby considers them wanting A-listers:

  "If I can get a Long Island Medium reading, that'd be fine." (57:55 - Eddie)

• Amy’s hesitant but promises to see if one of the crew can take the spot.

13. Classic Segments: Morning Corny & Bonehead Story (58:20–59:44)

[Eddie]

How's it going?

[Amy]

Good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah?

[Amy]

Yeah, You?

[Eddie]

Fine. I finally got sleep last night for the first time in four days. I. I don't normally sleep well, but I had had extra long bouts of being awake. I woke up a couple times last night, but finally got a little sleep. So, yeah, pretty good. I went to the physical therapist yesterday because I had surgery on my ankle, did all the things, was on a scooter, was in a boot, was on crutches, did all that. I've done everything right as far as the rehabilitation of my ankle. And so I go, went to my surgeon, he's like, you can now get on it, like walk a little bit, you can jog a little bit. And then I go to where I do my physical therapy and they Put you in this machine. And it's my first time on the treadmill, and they kind of blow you up. It's like a harness that lifts you up and there's a bunch of air, and it limits how much impact you put on your leg. So it was like 50, 60%, whatever it was, because they can take off a lot of your weight. And I feel this crazy electric shock in my foot. Not from any electricity, but just from the pain. So I have to stop. And I'm convinced I reinjured my ankle. So I went back yesterday for the first time since then. I don't think I reinjured it, but it's still killing me. I didn't get on the treadmill, but they, like, did a physical therapy massage into my foot and my ankle. It sucked.

[Amy]

Is it just painful or is it that hurts so good painful?

[Eddie]

You know how it does not hurt so good painful?

[Amy]

That sucks.

[Eddie]

And I think the good news is it's not in the bone. And what I've learned about this is when you injure something, obviously your whole foot or ankle, it all suffers because you're just not using it for months and months, and it's it. So probably it was super tight. I don't know. But I didn't have a good day there yesterday because they were just rubbing the crap out of it. But hopefully it gets better. But that was my day yesterday. Pretty much had dinner. You want to do what we had for dinner last night?

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

I like.

[Lunchbox]

You really want to play that game?

[Eddie]

Well, it's fun. You didn't.

[Lunchbox]

No dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I didn't even think about that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Eddie's fasting, but I'm having a blessed day. By the way, though.

[Eddie]

Good for you. Are you cranky today? Today should be the day where it starts to be really bothersome.

[Lunchbox]

No. And I didn't have a hard time sleeping. My wife was like, you're going to have a hard time sleeping because you're going to be hungry. Nope. Slept like a baby.

[Amy]

That's good.

[Lunchbox]

So I don't know, dude. The pains have come and gone, the hunger pains. But, like, overall, I'm really not craving food. Cross my fingers. I did watch Founder, you know, last night, the McDonald's movie, which I'm like, why am I watching this? There were burgers and fries all over the screen. Kind of tortured myself a little bit.

[Eddie]

Why did you choose that?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. It's just on Netflix. And I was like, I've never seen this movie. People have talked a lot about it. Great movie.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that the one with the guy that went and ate all the burgers?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no.

[Eddie]

That's a documentary.

[Lunchbox]

That's the founders of McDonald's.

[Eddie]

You're thinking it supersize me.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's what I was thinking of.

[Eddie]

Yours is actors.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Not a documentary.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Oh.

[Eddie]

About the history. There was, like, some dirty stuff that happened, right? Yeah, like some.

[Lunchbox]

You know, like, they're the guys that, like, started. That started McDonald's. And then there's the guy that made McDonald's huge.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he, like, took it, right? Yes. I only kind of know the surface part of the story. Not from the movie, just from hearing.

[Lunchbox]

Have you seen the movie?

[Eddie]

No.

[Lunchbox]

It's a really good movie.

[Eddie]

It is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Michael Keaton's in it.

[Eddie]

Batman. What'd you have for dinner last night, Amy?

[Amy]

Salmon, sweet potatoes, and salad.

[Eddie]

Pretty healthy, pretty balanced lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

I had leftover pizza from Saturday night.

[Eddie]

Eddie had nothing.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on. From Saturday night? That's a week old.

[Bobby Bones]

Not quite Thursday.

[Eddie]

Last night was Thursday.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So five days.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that bad?

[Lunchbox]

That's old pizza, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I understand it was old, but the kids and my wife had the leftover pasta with vegetables in it, and the kids and wife ate it all, so I went for the pizza. That was from Saturday night. That we had people over and there was pizza in the fridge.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

At least it wasn't rice. I'm gonna die from the.

[Lunchbox]

That'll kill you.

[Eddie]

Rabid rice Amy told me about.

[Amy]

I'm just saying, people, doctors on TikTok, they say there's one food I won't ever eat. Leftover. It's rice.

[Eddie]

I think your algorithm's just feeding you deadly rice. I don't have those doctors.

[Amy]

Ask your assistant.

[Eddie]

I'm good. She's tired.

[Lunchbox]

It's too early now.

[Amy]

She's tired.

[Lunchbox]

She's tired.

[Eddie]

I ordered kava last night.

[Amy]

Yum. I love that place.

[Eddie]

My wife will cook some. Then sometimes she's like, hey, I'm cook. And then she just gets a weird. Like, a hankering for something else random. And she goes, I just want some kind of Asian dumpling. So she ordered that.

[Lunchbox]

That sounds good.

[Eddie]

And then she says to me, you're on your own. Every man for himself. And so I went and ordered kava, and kava's like. I don't know, salads.

[Amy]

Is that Greek?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Mm. So had that last night. The last time that I ordered that, they brought all those drink. All those cups with no drinks in it.

[Lunchbox]

You never talked about that.

[Amy]

Yeah, I did.

[Eddie]

Oh, dang. I Think that was. I did. I said I ordered Uber, and they brought me three empty cups in the bag and ordered three drinks.

[Amy]

And, like, who would just bring cups?

[Lunchbox]

I thought that was private.

[Amy]

No. No, it wasn't.

[Eddie]

We talked about it more later.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Okay.

[Eddie]

Oh, we did talk about it more later, because that's some other thoughts.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

But, yes, we did talk about it. Do you remember me talking about it?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, I do.

[Eddie]

So anyway, when I ordered last night, I ordered three drinks again, because they had three drinks I liked.

[Lunchbox]

Got it. I understand now.

[Amy]

You actually got the drinks.

[Eddie]

Well, I wrote on there, there will be cups. Please fill them with the drink. There are three of them. I will tip you handsomely. I wrote it all out there. And I got three drinks last night. I was pretty excited about it. Just because I said. I said my food to your moment of truth. Will the drinks be there?

[Lunchbox]

That's so dumb.

[Eddie]

And I opened it, and the drinks were there. I was like, oh, thank God. Thank God. So that was last night.

[Amy]

Yum. Now you're making me want coffee.

[Lunchbox]

I can tell you what my family had had. Chick Fil A looked really good.

[Eddie]

Yum. Chick Fil A always looks good. And then for every meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Chick Fil A is always good.

[Lunchbox]

So good. Then my wife is like, oh, you can't make me feel bad for eating around you. Because she says I've been doing that for, like, years. She's been trying to fast, and I've been like, cooking good food around her. And I guess I've just been a little insensitive towards that, you know? And she pointed out yesterday, she's like, oh, you can't say anything now about our Chick Fil? A.

[Amy]

You know, speaking of Chick Fil A, something that I thought of when I picked mine up the other night. So I went through recent orders, like, sometimes the sauce hasn't been in there or whatever. And my son. Yeah, and my son really loves the Chick Fil? A sauce. So anyway, I feel bad because they bring it out to you now sometimes instead of just, like, handing it through you to the window, they're like, right there at your car. And they're like, amy. And then you're like, oh, thanks. And they stand there, and I want to look to double check. That's everything. And I feel so guilty looking in front of them. Do y'.

[Eddie]

All.

[Lunchbox]

No, we do it every time.

[Amy]

You check the bag. And you're like, yes. I felt so weird. He looked. He kind of was looking at me like, yeah, it's all in there, ma'. Am. Like, duh. And I'm like, okay, I'm just checking. I'm like, why do I care?

[Eddie]

Well, you've probably just been burned a few times and not be in there.

[Amy]

I know, but why do I care if he knows I'm looking? It's almost like I felt bad, like, I didn't trust him.

[Lunchbox]

If it's not in there, do you guys just say, screw it, like it's gone?

[Eddie]

Depends if he's still there.

[Amy]

If he's still there, I'm going to still there.

[Eddie]

I.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. Say, like, you leave. Right. Like, the way we do it is.

[Eddie]

I don't go back. It's not worth it to me for sauce.

[Amy]

No. But if like, a whole meat, like.

[Bobby Bones]

A sandwich is missing.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You go back.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah. What a sandwich. A whole sandwich be missing, though.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I've never ordered enough. Yeah, because you're ordering for six. Six people, you would order for four, five, six, depending on what's with you, right? I'm ordering for one or two.

[Amy]

Yeah. So you're probably so.

[Eddie]

I know if there's only one thing. Yeah. I can usually tell it's a small.

[Amy]

Order, but that's what I'm saying. And it doesn't have to be Chick fil a. It can be any drive through. It's like I. Something in me is, like, embarrassed to check in front of them. Like, I'm. I'm. I like, oh, y' all are bad at your job. I don't trust you. I'm having no luck. And I'm like, why do I care?

[Eddie]

Well, they probably also know who they work with. They get it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. They know their coworkers.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They're like, steve, Bry didn't put that in there.

[Amy]

Stevenson wants to get a job at Chick Fil A. Like, he wants to go apply. Like, he's, like, dead set on it.

[Lunchbox]

It seems like a lot of good kids work there.

[Eddie]

We have Chick Fil A's. We have Whataburgers. Now we have In n Out. Now they've opened three of them around here. And one of our friends went to In n Out and got through. It was like 3 o' clock on a Saturday. It was like, no wait, because usually it's like an hour wait. It has been because it's been new. Has anybody been through the In n Out here?

[Lunchbox]

My son went, not me.

[Amy]

Not me.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Eddie]

What was the wait?

[Lunchbox]

He said it was about an hour.

[Eddie]

When we went through, we didn't get in. But we asked what's the wait? They said hour 45, and then I posted a video about it, and people were just go inside, idiot. It's quicker. But it was cold, and the line was out the door, and I'm not gonna stand. Even if it's 30 minutes, I'm not gonna stand outside and freeze. And I'm not hating on anybody to do it, but I'm not gonna wait an hour and 45 minutes. I've had it a bunch of times just being in Vegas or being in California, and it's good. But I didn't know if you guys had hit it up yet. But, man, you guys made me want Chick Fil a for lunch. The problem is, for lunch, the line's wrapped around the street, the one near.

[Lunchbox]

Here, but it goes by real quick.

[Amy]

Yeah, it goes by fast.

[Bobby Bones]

They are so efficient.

[Eddie]

And then I get up to the counter or the person, there's no screen, and they're like, okay, what do you want? They're just standing there looking at me.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's stressful.

[Eddie]

I'm like, I'd like to see a menu.

[Lunchbox]

They were there with a little tablet.

[Amy]

Like, how confident are they that they now know we don't even need to give people a menu?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they do it with the two lines, though. Yeah, like, the two at one, two at once. Okay, Amy, round the room.

[Bobby Bones]

You're up.

[Amy]

All right, so the outage this week from Verizon, I suffered it.

[Eddie]

I was still suffering yesterday.

[Amy]

Yeah, I suffered from it as well.

[Eddie]

Yes. Because, like, people kept calling me, and I kept going right to, like, it rained for, like, a split second and go right to voicemail.

[Amy]

Oh, I didn't have another issue, I don't think. However, we still don't know what caused it. The FCC is still looking into it. They're continuing to actively investigate because they. It disrupted, like, critical response systems.

[Eddie]

China.

[Nav Green]

Probably.

[Amy]

Yeah. There's still no, like, explanation. Like, it's one thing for our phones to be down.

[Eddie]

Trust me, they know.

[Amy]

But. But, like, a critical response system, like, that's like emergency communications. China, guess what? Verizon is issuing a $20 credit to everybody that was impacted.

[Eddie]

I rolled my eyes.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Lunchbox]

You didn't click on it? It's 20 bucks, dude.

[Eddie]

I got the text. Did you get the text?

[Amy]

I don't think I got the text. I just read the article.

[Eddie]

Well, I read the article, then I got the text. It's like, we should. Here it is. Valued Verizon customer, yesterday, we let you down for that. We're truly sorry. We'd like to extend you a $20 account credit that can easily be redeemed via the link below. On average, this covers multiple days of service. This credit isn't meant to make up for what happened, but it's a way of acknowledging your time and showing us that you matter to us.

[Amy]

I didn't get it.

[Lunchbox]

I like how you're reading it.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't get that.

[Eddie]

If you're still having trouble connecting, please restart your device, power down, power back on, and redeem your credit. Take action. Mobile actions.

[Amy]

All I have is a can we talk now? Question mark from somewhere From Verizon. No, I don't.

[Eddie]

Bro, they're upset with you.

[Amy]

No, but I don't have that. So maybe they're just rolling it out. Like, maybe they're not texting. Everybody, call me at once.

[Eddie]

Just call me now.

[Lunchbox]

I bet they are rolling it out because don't they have like a billion subscribers?

[Eddie]

I don't know. You'd think there'd just be a button.

[Amy]

You hit and go, it's America's largest network.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Stupid. So stupid. I can't believe you didn't know that.

[Lunchbox]

I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

Freaking idiot.

[Amy]

That's what they said in the article. So I was like, okay, I mean, whatever. You have to go into the app and get your $20 account credit.

[Eddie]

But, yeah, it just gives me a link. But if you'll hit.

[Amy]

I'm calling you.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I just want to see if it rings. No. Whoa.

[Amy]

I'm going to try one more time. Sometimes I call my son and it doesn't.

[Eddie]

Wait.

[Lunchbox]

Are you sure you're not on do not disturb?

[Eddie]

I'm positive, because it shows Amy for one second and then it goes back off.

[Lunchbox]

6.

[Amy]

What if I needed to get a hold of you?

[Lunchbox]

Hey, we call Amy, see if hers works.

[Amy]

Yeah. Call me. Well, I think so, because Ben just called me and it worked.

[Eddie]

No, but it's about my phone. Oh, are you talking about for her phone or for my phone calling? Okay, you ready? I'm ready. Stand by. You're gonna be rocked by this. Here you go. Failed.

[Lunchbox]

That's why they're offering you 20 bucks.

[Amy]

It's not working. I see you pop up and then you go away, and now I have. Yeah, no, and it's going doo, doo, doo. Yeah, or we're gonna need more than $20.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Let me try to call Amy, see if Amy works.

[Eddie]

Amy probably worked.

[Amy]

What network does Ben have? Because he just called me. What network do you have? Eddie, it's working.

[Lunchbox]

It's working.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, why are you asking if we know what your husband has? Network.

[Lunchbox]

Amy. That's me. I hung up.

[Amy]

I know. What do you have?

[Lunchbox]

I don't have Verizon.

[Amy]

Okay, see? So, yeah, you have AT&T or what?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay, so that must be what Ben has. Cause that's why it's working.

[Lunchbox]

Do you want me to call you.

[Amy]

If we can't talk? Verizon to Verizon.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but you.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I have Verizon. It's calling you Verizon, so it works.

[Lunchbox]

So it's just your phone, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Maybe you need to restart your phone.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Maybe this is a Bobby problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Eddie]

Like, but I never restarted it.

[Lunchbox]

I just got the text saying, try the reboot.

[Eddie]

20 bucks I get to it later.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Amy]

Bobby's like, I don't mind not being reachable.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I don't really answer the phone anyway. I did try to make a call yesterday, and it didn't work. And I was like, thank God. And I got to blame it on the. I could just always use that power outage as a reason I didn't talk. I got a call. I got a text going, hey, can you talk something timely? And I was in my car, and I was like, no. I said, I'll be home in five, though, on a FaceTime FaceTime audio. Because I could use that on Internet.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What an excuse.

[Lunchbox]

That's perfect. But your text works because we texted.

[Eddie]

Let me try to call you now. I just rebooted it.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, you just said you weren't going.

[Eddie]

To reboot it, But I did.

[Amy]

I couldn't resist.

[Eddie]

I changed my mind.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I have the authority to change it.

[Lunchbox]

You're like, I'm not rebooting it. And then when you said that you actually did it.

[Eddie]

Well, I had already.

[Amy]

Classic Bobby.

[Lunchbox]

So you.

[Eddie]

Dude, I wanted the out in case I didn't decide to go there. I wanted to knock him out.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not rebooting it.

[Amy]

He wants to do it on his own time.

[Eddie]

That's what my wife says. She goes, if I tell you to do anything, it doesn't matter if you want to do it, you won't do it.

[Lunchbox]

So dope.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think he just felt that in real time.

[Amy]

Yes. Okay. Are you calling?

[Eddie]

I'm going to call here. Okay. Come on.

[Lunchbox]

The reboot.

[Eddie]

There's a reboot.

[Amy]

Good job. We fixed it.

[Lunchbox]

Ben, when's the last time you turned your phone off?

[Eddie]

1973.

[Lunchbox]

That year.

[Eddie]

The year was 1973. Okay. So it works. Now.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Good old reboot. Good.

[Eddie]

Yeah. 20 bucks. I don't feel like that's enough.

[Lunchbox]

But think about them though, dude. If they have like all their subscribers, they gotta pay them 20. I mean, most of them probably will be like you and be like, I'm not getting 20 bucks. But if they had to pay everyone 20 bucks, that's a lot of money.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot.

[Eddie]

There was also this happened recently with a company and you had to get your money back through logging in.

[Lunchbox]

And was this the whole recall or is like A.

[Eddie]

The AT&T one. Was it. Somebody had a big one too recently and it was like, whoa, sorry about that. Just log in and redeem and you'll get. It's like you're making this jump through hoops.

[Bobby Bones]

Well or.

[Eddie]

Well said. No, it was YouTube. It was YouTube TV because that's when they lost Disney for like, I don't know, two weeks.

[Lunchbox]

Right, right, right.

[Eddie]

And they're like, what? Credit your account, 60 bucks.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

All you gotta do is log in, play this puzzle game, beat it, prove you're not a robot, get to level 17.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So half the people won't even log in.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But I don't feel like 20 bucks is enough. Thanks for the update.

[Amy]

No problem.

[Eddie]

You see the update on the killer? The dentist?

[Amy]

The surgeon that killed the dentist and his ex wife?

[Eddie]

No, he had been. I gotta find that.

[Lunchbox]

This is your story, Amy. I thought you were on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

This is your beat, guys.

[Amy]

I'm.

[Eddie]

It's your beat. It is your beat. And I don't know if I have it here, but I can kind of go from it. He had been. And his family had said that they were making threats. Oh, I got it from People. The family of Spencer Tepe, I think that's the guy. Right. Says they're not surprised with the arrest of Michael David McKee in connection of the killings of Spencer and his wife Monique. Monique had been vocal about McKee's alleged emotional abuse during their brief time they were married. McKee's facing aggravated murder charges. Spencer's brother in law Rob tells People that Monique had been very vocal about the alleged emotional abuse inflicted on her during their marriage. McKee allegedly threatened Monique's life many times. He said Monique had told him about the abuse. The alleged threats were verbal in nature of People magazine.

[Amy]

Gosh, that's terrible. That's why they were not married very long at all. Which I wonder if he hid like how he was before they got married. Because I have a friend, she dated a guy for over A year then they were engaged. And he was like a dream, you know, not, like, so perfect that he's perfect, but she had adopted kids on as a single person because she didn't know if she would ever get married. And she was a foster mom, and then she ended up adopting her foster kids. So for her, finding a partner seemed difficult. Then she ended up finding him, and, like, we all couldn't believe it. And she was so happy. Right after they got married, it's like he flipped and he was a totally different person. And they're divorced now. But it. I was talking to her about it, and she was like, amy, it was. It was crazy. I never saw these sides of him until the marriage was final. And it was almost like he knew her heart. And then, like, divorce wasn't an option. And like, that. It's like he, He. He could no longer keep up the act or the charade of, like, this amazing guy. And then he was like, finally, I can relax. And she's like, I'm gonna manipulate her. And what's crazy is, too, she was able to, like, get into his YouTube to see what kind of videos he was watching and stuff. And he was literally watching videos on how to manipulate. So anyway, they're not together anymore because.

[Eddie]

He'S studying how to manipulate.

[Bobby Bones]

How long were they married?

[Eddie]

Shout out to him for?

[Amy]

They were not long. Not long at all.

[Lunchbox]

Always learning, mastering his craft.

[Amy]

He under. He understood 10.

[Eddie]

Really taking it in. Yeah. A lot of times that stuff does not manifest itself until there's adversity, and that's how and why people will react that way. But sometimes they know they have to hide it or they won't get the desired outcome. And then once they have it, it's allowed to come out. Yeah, Wanted to. A lot of times, you know, abusive people aren't abusive unless there's adversity. And adversity can be just something they see as adversity, like not getting what they want. So it comes out.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, this was just getting the. Almost the. Something about the marriage certificate, like, made him think, like, okay, now I can just act however I want.

[Eddie]

That's final.

[Amy]

And I can be myself because she'll never. I've got her. And then. And then he also, you know, he.

[Eddie]

Was watching videos on it.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was one of the craziest parts. She was like, it's crazy that she knew his login stuff. So she started logging in and doing her own research because she felt so on the nose. She felt like she was losing her mind.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And, you know, had he been successful with some of the manipulation, which he was for quite some time, but had he continued to be.

[Eddie]

There are creators that just make videos on how to manipulate people, right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Check them out.

[Eddie]

What's going on here? Look in their computers.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, what do you do? I'm an influencer. What do you influence? Well, I teach people how to manipulate other people.

[Lunchbox]

Really? Want a date?

[Eddie]

Dude, that's a crazy niche. Wow.

[Amy]

Yeah. I just admire her. Like, she's so bright. Like, she had to do a lot to, like piece it together. And just because someone like that. Yeah. Makes you think you're the crazy person.

[Eddie]

I think my wife is still waiting to see if I'm not perfect. But I got news for her.

[Lunchbox]

I am. It's been a while.

[Eddie]

I still am. I think she's like, this is so perfect. Like, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and I'm like, baby, it's always like this.

[Lunchbox]

She checks her computer. It's like, how to be perfect. YouTube.

[Eddie]

Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

So the found one of the co founders of Oracle. He has a huge yacht, like 190.

[Eddie]

Ellison.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Ellison. He has 190 foot yacht. Right. And he named it Izanami.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's like, I'm a Nazi. Backward.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So he didn't know that when he named it. It's like some Japanese mythical thing or whatever. And so he named it Izanami. And then somebody was like, dude, if you spell that backwards that says I'm a Nazi. And he's like, oh, no. So he changed it immediately.

[Eddie]

Well, the question is, did he get called out for it and act like he didn't know?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, is that the question?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I mean, I don't.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I think it's.

[Eddie]

If you're gonna read something like that, don't you kind of know everything about it if it's not your own language?

[Lunchbox]

Man, I don't ever think of reading a word backwards and see what it spelled. It's like, what's the one that.

[Eddie]

But I think you don't even know that word unless you're learning about the word.

[Nav Green]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

Which is just a Japan. It says it's a Japanese mythology name.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like if, like you were anything like.

[Lunchbox]

That, you're about Thor and backwards it's.

[Amy]

Rot, you know?

[Lunchbox]

And then it's like, dude, it's called rot, dude, you should change that. And then he's just like, oh, I gotta change that. That's not good.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I hear you. I just think somebody that smart doing something so public, someone would step in and go, hey, you know what that is, right?

[Amy]

But it's not what it is.

[Lunchbox]

It's not. It's just spelled backwards.

[Amy]

It's a mythical.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's she who invites a major primordial goddess responsible for creation, death, motherhood, fertility.

[Amy]

Like, because honestly, I would never look at. I'm writing Out. A zonamy. A zonomy.

[Eddie]

But you don't. The word is not natural to you, and it's from another language. So I think you would probably look into the meaning of it than you would just an English word that you know without looking at it backwards.

[Lunchbox]

The meaning, yes. Spelling it backwards. No, I don't think I would ever do that.

[Amy]

Yeah, if I looked at the meaning, I'd be like, oh, a creature sounds cool.

[Lunchbox]

Izamini or izanami.

[Eddie]

I hear you. Maybe I just.

[Lunchbox]

I believed it, and I just thought he was like.

[Eddie]

I don't believe anything, though. I'm such a cynic. I don't believe anything.

[Lunchbox]

It's easy to be.

[Eddie]

I'm very cynical all the time. When we named our boat, I named it Racecar. And then I didn't even know, but people were like, you know what that backward is? And I was like, what? Like race car? And I was like, I'm out of here, man.

[Lunchbox]

That's the one I was looking for. Race car.

[Amy]

Race car. The one that's the same for backwards. What's that called?

[Lunchbox]

Onomatopoeia.

[Amy]

No, no, it's synonym.

[Eddie]

No, so onomatopoeia isn't onomatopoeia.

[Amy]

It's lunchbox during any given story.

[Eddie]

And a synonym is. You can do it.

[Lunchbox]

Not to be confused with cinnamon.

[Eddie]

Synonym.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Eddie]

It's synonym is like the same.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's the same.

[Eddie]

No synonym. It means something the same. You're thinking backward and forward to palindrome.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Palindrome.

[Eddie]

Yeah. What, you mean you read it?

[Lunchbox]

Yes. Yeah.

[Eddie]

A palindrome.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, is that how you say it?

[Eddie]

Palindrome is backward and forward.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a tough one. Palindrome.

[Lunchbox]

Palindrome.

[Eddie]

A man, a plan, a canal, Panama. Oh, that's what I named my other boat. Someone said, you know what that is backward? I said, what? A man of plan. A canal Panama. Big one. It's the same forward and backward. You figuring it out?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm trying to. A man.

[Eddie]

Other little ones. Radar.

[Lunchbox]

Radar. Radar. Wow. That's crazy.

[Eddie]

Level.

[Lunchbox]

Dang. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dad. That's a small one. That's a short. That's a short one, but, yeah, that counts. That's all I got. I'm sure there are other fun ones. That's all I got.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't get the. I'm very confused on the man. A plan, a canal.

[Lunchbox]

He wrote it all down.

[Eddie]

A man, a plan, a canal. Panama.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, Panama. At the end of that.

[Eddie]

Mm. If you Read that backward. All that. It says the same.

[Lunchbox]

Wow, that's crazy.

[Eddie]

It's not crazy because they put it together to go backwards.

[Lunchbox]

No one ever said, I don't think.

[Eddie]

That'S like, the national saying of Panama. And they're like, can you believe it's backward? I think people were trying to find one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And you read it backwards. Oh, man. Panama, dude.

[Eddie]

Never odd or even.

[Amy]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. That's crazy. Who came up with these? Like, people just sit around, be like, all right, what can we say at.

[Eddie]

This point, you probably type it in Chat. GPT.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

My wife, though. What's crazy is she can just see how if you say a word, she sees it in her head, and she can spell it backward easily.

[Lunchbox]

That's amazing because she can see it.

[Eddie]

It's like, on a piece of paper.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

If she's done that on social media before, where. If I'm like, corduroy, she'll go, I don't know how to spell that. Normally, I'm like, all right, let me change it running. And she'll go, G, N, N. And just look at it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It's even hard for you to do it. It's tough.

[Eddie]

All right, next story. Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I mean, the political landscape is changing in Austin, Texas. My girl from 16 and pregnant, then teen mom, Ms. Farah Abraham, announced she is running for mayor of Austin.

[Eddie]

Except.

[Bobby Bones]

Except she didn't realize the mayoral race was not until 2028. She thought it was 2026.

[Eddie]

Well, she was on TMZ and they had to tell her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, she was like, oh, I can't wait. You know, get out and vote. And they're like, farrell, I don't think it's this year. I think it's in 2028. She goes, no, no. I called the office. They said 2026. Oh, boy.

[Eddie]

I think she thought because the midterms are coming up, that that's every election.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

So did she still register for the 2028?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not sure, but her platform is family planning for all modern workers. Act your home, your dreams. Veteran bridge program. Support where you need it. Safety and policy first and senior housing. ATX cares.

[Eddie]

Now read it backward.

[Lunchbox]

Panama.

[Eddie]

Amanda Plant a canal Panama, man.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, fair. I mean, obviously, she's not gonna win, but good luck to her. She blocked me on Twitter years ago, so we don't really see eye to eye.

[Eddie]

Really? Who uses Twitter? I do.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but back in the day, she blocked me.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but your Twitter has also been hacked anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's Gone.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

I get. Died.

[Bobby Bones]

I did. It died.

[Eddie]

I got a email saying that my account on. What's the grocery account? Instacart. And it came from the blue check mark, the email, Instacart with the blue check beside it. An email, meaning it's been verified. And it said someone has spent a bunch of money, like 600 bucks on Instacart. And what made me look at it twice was it came from the checked account, Instacart. Then I got another one said somebody has spent 500 bucks. And so I look at my credit card and there's nothing spent on it. But again, it came from Instacart with the check mark, which meant it's been verified. I did nothing. But I kept watching my account, and if anything on my account, I checked my wife's as well, because even though our credit card's in the same account, it's two different numbers, two different cards, nothing. We logged in our accounts. Nothing. And I got an email from them again going, hey, sorry about that. That's from our account. But if it said that somebody was.

[Lunchbox]

They hacked their account?

[Eddie]

They didn't say that, but yes, I think so.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Eddie]

It almost clicked into it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I don't know what would have happened if I would have clicked into it, because it was actually from the account, but someone hacked into their account.

[Lunchbox]

So I wonder what they wanted because they didn't steal money.

[Eddie]

Here we go. We're writing to let you know about a recent spam email you may have received that appeared to come from Instacart. It may have claimed there was a charge in your account and directed you to call a phone number or address the matter. We want to be clear, this message was not legitimate. You can safely disregard the email. So they must have hacked and put a phone number in to call because it was from the checkmark Instacart account.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Got a really good one yesterday, too, that almost fell for. Because they're getting better. It was from. I have a Robinhood account. And it's just a numbers game because I get a bunch of other ones too, that I don't have accounts there. And I go, that's easy spam. And the Robinhood account said, hey, you've been hacked. Click this. And I was like, oh, God, really? And so I was so close to clicking it. I didn't.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're getting really good.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they're getting really good.

[Lunchbox]

I got another text that said, are you home? And I was like, ah, it's Judy again. I still get like, I've probably gotten five of those since Judy.

[Eddie]

Now they just fire those out. I get them. My wife gets them.

[Lunchbox]

You do?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I just.

[Amy]

So I have the one that. Can we talk now?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's one.

[Eddie]

That's what? That was a random.

[Amy]

It's. I've no other text with them before. Can we talk now?

[Eddie]

Just respond to go. Yeah, call me.

[Amy]

Area code 332.

[Eddie]

The health benefits of jumping up and down every morning. I'm surprised it's something you haven't been on yet.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, no, I jump every morning. Some mornings I have my little mini trampoline.

[Eddie]

Those who get health advice from TikTok may have seen a recent trend of influencers or recommending jumping up and down 50 times to start your day each morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he set her up. It's gonna be like it doesn't do anything. He set her up.

[Amy]

No, jumping on the trampoline is good for your lymphatic system.

[Eddie]

Many social media health advisors have little to no actual expertise in the advice they expose.

[Amy]

That's true.

[Eddie]

So actual experts were asked about it. They say it can build bone density, it can build muscle. Well, you're jumping up and down, right?

[Amy]

How high are they jumping?

[Eddie]

It promotes lymphatic drainage.

[Amy]

There we go.

[Eddie]

Circulation can be improved if done consist. And it's a good way to wake up. So obviously anything you're doing where you're moving your body is going to be beneficial. So yeah, keep doing your thing. Keep doing your thing.

[Lunchbox]

Keep jumping.

[Eddie]

Amy, on the downside, those with a weak pelvic floor. Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

No, mine is not too tight.

[Eddie]

Not weak or issues with their knees, ankles, feet or history of stress fractures. Me might want to try something lower impact.

[Amy]

Well, they must be jumping up and down on the floor though, because a little trampoline is low impact, you know, because it's not the hard floor that you're impacting. So I get that. But also when I jump, I'm like, oh, I gotta go pee.

[Lunchbox]

Dude. In the morning I can barely walk. How are you jumping?

[Bobby Bones]

It's just.

[Eddie]

You can barely walk.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. On my way to the bathroom, I'm like, oh, everything hurts.

[Eddie]

It's tight. But eventually you get loose after I.

[Lunchbox]

Get out of the shower. Probably a little looser.

[Eddie]

You take a shower every morning?

[Lunchbox]

Every morning. Helps me wake up.

[Amy]

Cold or hot.

[Eddie]

Who takes a cold shower?

[Lunchbox]

See, it's a hot shower, but I know I saw some on TikTok. I don't remember what they said, but.

[Eddie]

They'Re like a cold shower.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because the hot is so my skin gets really dry and like there's this rash on my chest that will show up if I take too hot of a shower or if I use scented soap. So now I have an unscented bar of soap and cold showers.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

But guess what? My chest is fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. I tried cold showers for a week.

[Eddie]

I had a similar experience. I tried cold showers and I found them to painful not be beneficial because of my mental health. I dreaded them as soon as I woke up going to it. And I didn't like it while I was in it. And I didn't find really that it did enough to counteract all the negative I had pre.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, mine has been beneficial for my skin. And I also. I feel like. I mean, it's miserable when I'm in there, but I feel good when I get out. And I'm like, okay, let's go.

[Lunchbox]

But I feel good when I get out of the warm shower or the hot shower.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, I mean, don't get me wrong, I miss that. But my skin, especially in the winter, it's just hot water.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes it's worth it.

[Amy]

Fails me.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

Morgan for the win. What continent is most famously home to penguins?

[Amy]

Antarctica.

[Eddie]

Win. Anonymous in box, there's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My girlfriend and I have been together for about two years. Overall, it's been great. She makes her living through social media and has made it clear she never intends to make our relationship visible online. She says posting about it could hurt her engagement and that people, especially men, are less likely to interact if they know she's taken. Because of that, she doesn't post about me. I don't want to control her or interfere with her job, but it makes me feel like I'm hidden or I'm being treated like an inconvenience. Am I overthinking this, or is it fair to want to be acknowledged? Signed, the secret boyfriend. I for sure would have my feelings hurt here. Yeah, I think if you're her real person, she just has to pivot on the content she's making. And also, we have enough data from the 90s to know that boy band members only had girlfriends. They weren't less desirable because that was a thing back then. It was like, oh, you can't have Justin Timberlake have a girlfriend because girls don't like them as much. Or the Beatles.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Even from the 60s. Yes. So unless she's, like, only fans.

[Amy]

Yeah, like what?

[Eddie]

Like, what is our con? I'm assuming her content is not that, but posting can hurt her engagement with men. Bro, maybe you need a new girl. If she's not doing racy content, there's no reason that she can't have you or at least acknowledge you occasionally. Or she doesn't have to avoid you because that's what it sounds like she's doing. So, one, it's not really gonna hurt her content. Dude, if it's about dudes, dudes ain't gonna care if she has a boyfriend or not. As long as every post is not with you and she's not, dudes aren't gonna care. Secondly, she's just gonna have to modify her content. What's she gonna do that her whole life? When you get engaged, get married, have kids, she's still the single naked baker or whatever she is. I don't know what she is. Yeah, I would say something needs to change. There needs to be a plan for things to change because that's not fair to you. What are your thoughts?

[Amy]

Yeah, no, I'm totally with you on that. That's what I was thinking the whole time of, like, hell, yeah, that would hurt me. And I'm like, okay, what else are you hiding?

[Eddie]

Yeah, she has to consider you.

[Amy]

And like, why? Why is it that whatever it is, like, why are you making money off of being single? I mean, I guess you can, but once you get into a relationship, like, why would that change what you're able to?

[Eddie]

Unless it's dirty.

[Amy]

That's what I mean.

[Eddie]

Like, but I think he would have said that, right?

[Lunchbox]

It's gotta be dirty stuff.

[Eddie]

You think so? I think he would have said that.

[Lunchbox]

What else would it be?

[Eddie]

Anyway, I think her completely avoiding you is unfair to you. I do. I think it's completely unfair to you. And I think you guys should have a plan for her to at least acknowledge you occasionally if it's hurting your feelings. Because your feelings are more important than whatever's happening overall in the grand scheme. That'd be my advice. So. Man, if she's on like onlyfans, he would have said that in the email, though. All right, good luck, buddy. Close it up.

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy]

He did all this stopping.

[Lunchbox]

What Matthew Stafford is doing statistically, bro is crazy.

[Nav Green]

Bro, you know I ain't no Josh Allen fan, but Matthew Stafford got better weapon. Caleb Williams.

[Lunchbox]

[Amy]

In what conversation?

[Nav Green]

He should be in it. Listen to Broken Play with Nav Green from the Black Effect podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or whatever. You get your podcast.

[Eddie]

A guy in Florida stopped traffic because there were two toddlers wandering in the middle of a busy highway. So he stops his car. Thank everybody's honking cuz like, why are you stopping the car? And so he gets out of his car, there are the kids. He got them back in the car, drove them back to where he thought they were from. There was a gate open. This is him telling the story.

[Lunchbox]

I was terrified.

[Amy]

If anything would have happened to him.

[Lunchbox]

Rest of my life would have been ruined.

[Bobby Bones]

So I immediately pulled over and I.

[Nav Green]

Ran out of the car.

[Bobby Bones]

One of them was going to the.

[Eddie]

Middle of the road.

[Bobby Bones]

And I grabbed that one first and.

[Lunchbox]

Then the second one I just picked up.

[Eddie]

She was ready. And I got him off the road.

[Bobby Bones]

An elderly couple and a young girl. And I, you know, immediately they went into like, oh my God, we're so sorry.

[Lunchbox]

And I was like, yeah, no, I'm just glad I could get them back to you. They were out in the road and.

[Bobby Bones]

Your gate was open.

[Eddie]

The family had no idea they'd wandered off. Luckily they didn't get hit by a car. Like, thank God this guy was there to see them and stop and grab them in time. Also, the news had to get him on a highway just to hear all. Just to hear all the cars and hear what could have happened. Like, stand as close as you can to the highway, sir. So we really show. That's from sunny skies. Amy, your thoughts?

[Amy]

It's just terrible and scary. Hopefully, like, this will be a wake up call for them to implement some sort of plan to make sure the kids can't get out again.

[Eddie]

Those toddlers start to get away from you though, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of mine. One of mine would get out a lot, but we don't. Luckily we don't live by a busy highway.

[Eddie]

What do you mean get out? What would happen?

[Lunchbox]

He would just go out the door. We wouldn't even know. We'd be like upstairs or whatever. And then he would just kind of open the door. And then he ended up in a neighbor's house. Like, the neighbor would come over and be like, hey, he came over to my house.

[Eddie]

And what do you think when the neighbor shows up with your kid again?

[Lunchbox]

Here we go. I told you not to do that. But they don't understand.

[Eddie]

So what do you do then?

[Lunchbox]

Just make sure all the doors are locked.

[Eddie]

So it's about locking.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then we had, I mean, with all our kids, I think we had an extra layer of like locking the doors where there's like the actual door handle lock, which. That's how he would get out. He would twist the little knob, but then you have the one on top. And then you can add like, like a hotel lock.

[Eddie]

Like that from when Lunchbox's kid just ran all the way across town after sleepover.

[Bobby Bones]

That was a sleepover. He went down. He woke up at six o' clock in the morning and decided he'd had enough and packed his backpack.

[Eddie]

How old?

[Bobby Bones]

He just seven. Just turned seven and decided, you know what, I'm out of here. Didn't tell anybody. They were all still sleeping. And he went downstairs, unlocked the door, closed the door, put his backpack on, and he walked home.

[Eddie]

How far was home?

[Bobby Bones]

2.2 miles.

[Lunchbox]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Saturday morning, 6am and we could laugh.

[Eddie]

Because everything was okay. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And he talked to people on the way. They said, good morning. He said, good morning back this Little backpack. Hey.

[Eddie]

Hey, Frank. Hope you have a great weekend. So what do you guys say to parents that are just coming into the toddler stage?

[Lunchbox]

Just be vigilant. Like, look around, you know, and like, if you have a door or a gate or something that just comes open, easy. Yeah, secure that. But that's with everything. Drawers, electrical outlets. You have to baby proof your house.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it happens. Like, it's going to happen. Like, you can do whatever you want. Like, toddlers find a way. You think you've locked everything. They find a way through the deadbolt. They're gonna. They're gonna see you open the deadbolt, and so they're going to learn how to open the deadbolt.

[Eddie]

So your advice is what A higher up.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, you're good, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna happen, so just be prepared.

[Eddie]

So it will happen.

[Bobby Bones]

It will happen. So, I mean, there's no need. Like, baby proofing is so overrated. Like, we do this baby proofing and all this, and we go through all.

[Eddie]

This and it's like, give me some advice. I'm about to have a baby. Go ahead, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Just keep an eye on your baby. Everyone's well. And if. When you don't, it's gonna fall down, it's gonna maybe go down some stairs. It happens.

[Eddie]

Go down some stairs or fall down some stairs.

[Bobby Bones]

Fall down, roll down.

[Amy]

He's making it sound less.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

You lucked out that nothing bad happened.

[Bobby Bones]

You're right. But, I mean, there's no way to stop everything. They.

[Eddie]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

They will survive. They're not. They don't need to be put in bubble wrap. They're not porcelain. They're. Okay.

[Eddie]

So basically you're saying s happens. Yes. That's your advice?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, S happens. So don't just like, don't freak out.

[Amy]

You just have to hope it's not. The result isn't tragic.

[Eddie]

That's his advice.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm just telling you, on your first baby, you're gonna lock up everything and put. But you know, we're underneath the sink where they're like.

[Amy]

And second baby, you're like, here's all the talks here.

[Eddie]

Leave the bleach open. Leave it out 100.

[Bobby Bones]

The third, by the third baby, you're not putting that lock on the cabinet. No one. You don't even care about it. You're not covering up the plugs on the wall.

[Eddie]

So then why do it even for the first, if you know that's what I'm saying?

[Bobby Bones]

The first one, you think you have to do that and you realize that's just stupid and extra work.

[Eddie]

No need.

[Bobby Bones]

No need.

[Eddie]

Don't need to do those plug in covers.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you just watch. Hey, don't touch that.

[Eddie]

Got it. I mean, all right.

[Lunchbox]

You want my advice?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Baby proof your house, dude.

[Eddie]

No, no. I just got great advice from lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Baby proof it.

[Eddie]

Oh, now I'm torn. Now I'm 50. 50 in the middle. I don't know what to do. I'm gonna start. There was a game of roulette in Monte Carlo, August 18, 1913. The ball fell on black 26 times in a row. Now, why that's crazy is gamblers kept sticking money on red because it can't keep landing on black. But it kept landing on Black 26 times in a row. Gamblers lost millions.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Expecting it to land on red.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, man.

[Eddie]

Feels fixed to me.

[Lunchbox]

But think so?

[Eddie]

I don't know. But 26 times in a row is crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Crazy.

[Eddie]

But then everybody's like, well, it's got to hit red eventually. They just kept stacking money on it.

[Lunchbox]

But really, it really doesn't. It can just keep landing on black.

[Eddie]

One has nothing to do with the next. That is true. Amy, yours.

[Amy]

The ice cream we see in ads, it's actually mashed potatoes.

[Eddie]

Well, that's cool.

[Amy]

That's what the food photographers use to keep it from, you know, melting mashed potatoes. Yeah. So next time you see ice cream. And I'd be like, ah.

[Eddie]

Oh. And it also doesn't melt. That's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

Point.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Thaddeus Kalinowski wants a restaurant manager. He watched the Hangover, and he's like, I look like that guy. You know what? I'm quitting my job. I'm gonna move to Vegas, and you can rent me out. And he started making $250,000 a year acting like the guy from the Hangover.

[Eddie]

He looks just like him.

[Lunchbox]

What guy?

[Eddie]

Galifianakis.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Zach Alfanakis.

[Bobby Bones]

And he looks so much like him. He was his stunt double in Hangover 3. Wow.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Eddie]

Just like him. And also, it's the beard and the hair. Like, a lot of that can mask if the face isn't. But it looks just like him. Yeah, it's a good one. The spots on cows are unique, like human fingerprints. Cows never have the same pattern of black and white spots ever. So once you have that cow, you can always tell if your cow's stolen because they're exactly the same.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty cool.

[Eddie]

Like, it's a. There's only one. Yeah, Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Camels have three eyelids. Two normal hairy ones. This is for each eye. And the third is like a transparent eyelid that keeps them from getting sand in their eyes because they're desert animals.

[Eddie]

So it's like a porch screen.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Just to keep the bug. Oh, dang. That's crazy. Nimrod only became another word for idiot because of Bugs Bunny. He called Elmer Fudd a nimrod, but nimrod is actually a biblical character who's referred to as a mighty hunter. So initially, Nimrod was. He's a hunter, but people took that because he was. Since he was calling Elmer Fudd that, he must be an idiot. So that's where nimrod comes from, and that's why we think of it as an idiot.

[Lunchbox]

Is that also a Green Day song?

[Eddie]

That's an album.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, an album.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Morgan, the oldest your mom joke was discovered on a 3,500-year-old Babylonian tablet in Iraq in 1976. Well, what did they say?

[Eddie]

Your mom's camel has a third eyelid. No, take that back.

[Amy]

It was in reference to, like, a hookup, I believe. Here, let me give you the.

[Eddie]

The full rundown.

[Amy]

So the tablet, which has now been lost, but there's photographs of it, it says it translates to, like, the punchline was not your mom, but it was saying of your mother is by the one who had intercourse with her. Like, talking about your mom, they went.

[Eddie]

Hard on the your mama joke back on the tablet.

[Lunchbox]

I wonder if the tablet was like a joke book.

[Eddie]

A joke tablet with a bunch of.

[Lunchbox]

Different jokes on it.

[Eddie]

Fun fact Friday, Amy was offered a reading from the Long island medium because she's coming to town.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Do you think she should do it?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

I do, too.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be fun.

[Amy]

Oh, see, I was thinking. I don't really know how I feel about it.

[Eddie]

Well, I don't believe it. But I still think it'd be fun.

[Amy]

I know, but I was gonna offer it to one of y'.

[Lunchbox]

All.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Amy]

Because I started to think about it, and for me, like, I don't know, it just doesn't.

[Eddie]

When? What day?

[Amy]

Monday.

[Eddie]

What time?

[Amy]

Evening. Let me check. Let me pull up the email.

[Lunchbox]

Why are you asking? You think you're gonna do it?

[Eddie]

I do it. I do it on a podcast.

[Amy]

That's what. So that's sort of what it is. She is coming out with a podcast, so she's always had her show, and then she's launching a new podcast.

[Eddie]

Do you want a booker, Mike? Yeah, that sounds cool to me. Okay, I'll connect an interviewer and then I take a read. I can't believe you don't want to do that again. I don't believe it. So it wouldn't be like, I can't wait. I don't even know. What's her name? Sally Shrug.

[Bobby Bones]

Teresa Caputo.

[Amy]

Yeah. And that's. So that's the new. It's a new video podcast called A Reading with Teresa Caputo.

[Eddie]

Oh, is she wanting to put you on her podcast while she does it?

[Amy]

That's what she's gonna be in town. She's coming to town and it's going to be on her. The launch of her new podcast.

[Eddie]

It's gonna be on her podcast?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

And you're cool with doing the whole reading?

[Eddie]

I would want to do it on my podcast to promote her podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

Right, Right.

[Lunchbox]

But what if she.

[Eddie]

We just get it over to Mike?

[Amy]

Well, I'll support it. Yeah.

[Eddie]

What if she wasn't gonna die? I don't believe it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

So back in, like, it's just funny how connections, like, come around. Back when I did Nash Chat, when the show Nashville was in town, and CMT would do this thing on Facebook Live and talk about the show after, and all the people would come up. One of the producers for that, she lives out in la, but we still keep in touch from time to time, and she's working with the company that's doing this. So she hit me up and she was like, hey, would you want to do this?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's cool.

[Eddie]

Well, they want you. You should do it.

[Amy]

No, I already hit her up. I was like, okay, so me. Or like, maybe somebody else from the show might want to do it.

[Lunchbox]

Are you kidding me?

[Amy]

I can't.

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

They hit her up to get to you.

[Eddie]

No, they didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the real reason.

[Eddie]

Guys, you don't understand how big Amy's podcast is.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but, like, you think if she went back to the producer and said, like, hey, Bobby wants to do it? They'll be like, no, no, no, we're good. We're just going to do you, Amy.

[Eddie]

Or, nah, if it's not you, we don't want anybody. They might say that maybe.

[Amy]

No, trust me. If we circle back with you, Bobby, they're gonna be like, fantastic.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, we did it.

[Amy]

Fantastic. Because literally, it worked. Honestly, this is gonna be better.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, that's crazy. You want to do this?

[Eddie]

Well, the thing is, there's a lot of information about me out there.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

And Anytime that I've met with people, they've. I feel like just claw come to the Internet and found it. But I'm up for it.

[Amy]

Past celebrity readings include Meghan Trainor, Jim Parsons, Tiffany Haddish, Kelsey Grammer, Cynthia Nixon, Bunny Xo. That's Chrissy Metz.

[Eddie]

Okay. Oh, that's good.

[Amy]

I mean, there's a lot. Danica Patrick.

[Eddie]

We will reach out and I think that would be cool if we were able to do it. And I'll take the reading.

[Amy]

Rosario Dawson.

[Eddie]

Okay, now you're just saying people.

[Lunchbox]

Of course, we all know her.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay. All right, I'll get this all over.

[Eddie]

If I can get a Long island medium reading, that'd be fine. Trying to put you through M's riding this wig's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what?

[Amy]

This is.

[Eddie]

The Bobby now. Time for the morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

The morning corny.

[Amy]

Why did the strawberry go out with the pineapple?

[Eddie]

Why?

[Amy]

Because it couldn't get a date.

[Eddie]

Oh, a date. Like a fruit date.

[Lunchbox]

I got it.

[Eddie]

That was the morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

What's Lego? Yeah.

[Eddie]

Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

This story comes to us from Putnam County, Florida. A 58 year old woman was at a restaurant and slow service. Her collard greens were cold. So instead of saying, hey, can I get some new ones? She takes the collard greens, throws them at an employee, then starts threatening everybody with a skillet. Picks it up, says, who wants to get hit with a skillet? Police arrived and when they searched her, they found some substance in her pocket.

[Eddie]

You know, I'm proud of her.

[Amy]

For what?

[Lunchbox]

Not hitting someone with a skillet?

[Eddie]

No, it could have been a gun. We have so many gun stories. If it's only a skillet, that's a major step in the right direction. She didn't have a gun. Yeah, everybody's got guns. Shooting them in the air, waving them around, you know, more skillets. Let's pass out skillets. Okay. There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. We all know he's not gonna do it.

[Lunchbox]

We all know he's not gonna make it. But what I can't wait for is.

[Bobby Bones]

Monday's show to hear what the excuse is because he always comes up with the most ridiculous things and all these excuses.

[Eddie]

So I can't wait for Monday to hear what the excuse was for not.

[Lunchbox]

Making it through the weekend.

[Eddie]

Love the show. Talking about Eddie and his fast. I think there will be no excuse.

[Lunchbox]

Nice. Thank you. For believing in me.

[Eddie]

Because I think you'll lie if you do eat.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not gonna lie, dude. I'm not lying. Like, I'm doing this thing. I'm in the middle of it right now. Like.

[Eddie]

Amy, talk to your pastor.

[Amy]

Yeah, Well, I just wanted to get his thoughts on the wine and what do you say? And the. That's really. Honestly, all I was gonna ask about was the wine. And then he put in his own theological two cents.

[Eddie]

Okay, here is Pastor Matt.

[Lunchbox]

Matt. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Why are you nervous about that?

[Lunchbox]

I know Matt. Yep.

[Eddie]

Okay, go ahead. Respect to Eddie. It's.

[Lunchbox]

It's great that he's, you know, putting.

[Eddie]

Aside some time for some spiritual intensity. The theological advice that would be worth considering is that you're not really meant.

[Lunchbox]

To do this stuff publicly.

[Eddie]

That's about the clearest teaching Jesus gave about it.

[Lunchbox]

You don't really do it on street.

[Eddie]

Corners like the Pharisees.

[Lunchbox]

So that's probably the major sticking point rather than what's actually been given up on the wine part of it.

[Eddie]

The point of a fast is, you know, it's really usually getting away from food. But respect.

[Lunchbox]

I'd like to challenge Matt.

[Eddie]

Oh, please do.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Lunchbox]

I. I know the Pharisee story and them doing all this stuff to. Just for show, right? This isn't for show.

[Bobby Bones]

It's.

[Lunchbox]

This is me just telling my friends about what I'm doing, hoping that anyone would like to join me. Almost like the church does it. Hey, this is what we're all gonna do. Would love for you to join me. That's it. And I'm just telling you I'm doing it. I'm not. I'm not bragging. Look at me. I'm doing it fast. It's not for everyone, but I'm doing it.

[Amy]

It's true.

[Lunchbox]

Is that a good challenge? I don't know.

[Eddie]

It's fine.

[Amy]

That's fine. I mean, I guess I see Eddie's point.

[Lunchbox]

Well, this is the second time I've heard it, but.

[Eddie]

But you did, like, present it to be talked about on the show, which is a large street corner.

[Lunchbox]

I would like to let you guys know that I'm doing this. It's kind of cool.

[Eddie]

That's our point.

[Lunchbox]

That's kind of cool.

[Eddie]

That's exactly the point.

[Lunchbox]

Doing it, you know? Would you like to join me?

[Amy]

Yeah. Do you. You get a little. A little high off of people knowing that you're.

[Lunchbox]

Why would I do that?

[Amy]

Does it feel good?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

Everybody's talking about how you like it being talked. You do it's okay.

[Lunchbox]

What? I like being the.

[Amy]

Like that you're like, getting closer to God.

[Lunchbox]

I love that part. Absolutely.

[Eddie]

But you like us to know, otherwise you wouldn't have brought it in for the show to talk about.

[Lunchbox]

I honestly, I don't care that you guys know. Then.

[Eddie]

Then why. Why would you not do it and then just not talk about it?

[Lunchbox]

But look how many people are calling in and talking about it.

[Amy]

Like, so you want to impact lives.

[Lunchbox]

I think it's great.

[Eddie]

No, un. Impacted. They're saying things like, hey, shouldn't he not be talking about it? Or no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

We did have a listener.

[Amy]

We did have a listener saying she was going to join in.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Mostly it's saying he won't do it.

[Lunchbox]

I did get a couple dms that the people are joining me, too. It's pretty cool.

[Amy]

But I know we've already had people call him out. I just thought it was funny that. That I didn't pro. Like, Pastor Matt didn't know anything about that. I specifically was just asking about wine, and then he probably heard me talking about. Led to say that. No, he didn't. He just was like, my one takeaway would be less about the wine and more about him announcing it.

[Lunchbox]

All right, scratch that. I announced it.

[Eddie]

Can't. The jury. Can't forget what I said.

[Lunchbox]

What do they say from the record?

[Eddie]

So you don't ever want to bring it up again?

[Lunchbox]

Nah.

[Eddie]

You don't want to. You don't want us to check in on you?

[Lunchbox]

We don't have to bring it up again. But don't think that I'm quitting it. I'm doing it.

[Amy]

Yeah. Let's see. If we weren't talking about it, if.

[Eddie]

We never talked about it again, doing.

[Amy]

It, like, if it had been a rejected segment, would he do it?

[Lunchbox]

I wouldn't even do it.

[Eddie]

You're 100%. You wouldn't have to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Do you think you're only doing it now you've committed because you brought it to us. We talked about it. Now you have to live up to what you said.

[Lunchbox]

I think so. A little bit. Like, you guys are keeping me accountable for doing it?

[Amy]

I think so. It's for accountability.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I think that that's fair. I mean, I'm not gonna lie and say that that's not part of it. Absolutely.

[Eddie]

But I didn't think this was about accountability.

[Lunchbox]

I think that helps. This is all about getting closer to God. But it does help that you guys are here to watch me. And I don't like that you think I'm gonna lie to you, That I would like. I would like to prove you wrong in that.

[Eddie]

But you can't.

[Lunchbox]

What? Prove you wrong.

[Eddie]

You can't prove that you're not lying because we're not with you.

[Lunchbox]

I want you to believe me, okay?

[Eddie]

Every liar wants everybody to believe them. I'm not even.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not a liar. I don't know, man.

[Eddie]

We're rooting for you.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Thank you for the voicemail. Thank you to Pastor Matt and Eddie. This will be the last time we ever mention it.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not doing it.

[Eddie]

Okay? We're never mentioning it again. Okay. All right, we are done. We will see you Monday. Goodbye, everybody. Come on.
