[Amy]

Anonymous. Hello, bobby bones. My 15 year old son wants to go trick or treating with a few of his friends. I don't think they'll cause any trouble, but they just love Halloween. Part of me worries though. They'll get side eyed by neighbors or they'll make little kids uncomfortable. I don't want to crush this fun, but I want to be considerate of our neighbors and their kids. It's 15 too old to go door to door for candy sign Concerned candy crusher. I think if you're assigning a number to it, that would be unfair. I think if you have a good kid who's 15 who loves you, go trick or treating. That's not a big deal. 15 is old. If you just said 15 and you don't know anything about the kid, I'm saying that's too old. But if it's like a kid who just loves Halloween and is not up to no good, great. Go have fun. Especially if he's in like a costume, right? Because you really can't tell age of somebody in a costume. So generally speaking, if I don't know the kid, 15 feels too old. But if it's a kid with a good heart who just enjoys trick or treating, I would just be worried about his other 15 year old friends.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, what are they up to?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, my son's going with his friends. He's 15, and they will probably look like 12 year olds.

[Amy]

So it's fine if there is, like a genuine love. And they're not gonna mess with kids. They're not gonna do pranks that could hurt property. If it literally is. We just want to go have fun and trick or treat, I have no problem with it. That's awesome. Yeah, it's just 15's that age where you start to be, well, problematic. I mean, I think 13 is kind of the age where you start to be problematic a little bit. So if they're not problematic, I think it's awesome. Let it rip. I. I would make sure the friends are the same way, though. It's easy to get in trouble on Halloween.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you can be easily influenced.

[Amy]

Yeah. One too many Tootsie Rolls, next thing you know. Crazy. Yeah. If you trust your kid, let him go. I don't think there's an absolute number. Happy Halloween. The Bobby Bones Show.

[Eddie]

Bones.

[Amy]

Want to go over and talk to Jordan, who is listening to us in Maine. Hey, Jordan, you're on the show. What's going on?

[Caller]

Well, I'm just trying to get relationship advice.

[Amy]

How old are you?

[Caller]

I'm only 21.

[Amy]

Okay, got a young voice here. Okay, let's go ahead, ask. What's going on with you?

[Caller]

So I work construction. I work about six days a week, about eight to, like six normally. And my girlfriend's all mad that we don't spend time together, but I don't know. I tried to explain it to her, but she's not really understanding. So I don't know what I should do about it.

[Amy]

What are you explaining to her, like.

[Caller]

Why I can't see her so much? It's because I have to work. Trying to. I'm trying to work as much as I can to build what I want, buy a house, buy a truck, and everything that I need in life.

[Amy]

Say to me what you say to her when she says, hey, Jordan, you work too much.

[Caller]

And I say to her, I say, well, I'm trying to save money so I can go buy us a house and buy a truck. And every time I do that to her, she always gets mad at me and end up in a fight.

[Amy]

And what is her response when you say that?

[Caller]

She goes, oh, you need to make time for me. And I Should be able to see you when you get out of work. And I tell her, when I get out of work, I need to go home and go to sleep so I can be up to go to work in the morning. She doesn't like that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Hey, listen, you're both right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. Neither one of you have to be wrong. So I. I think there is. With your communication, I think you could communicate it a little better than just, I gotta go home and go to sleep. And I think you have to be deliberate about the time you are spending with her to let her know that you or spending time with her, like, plan things with her. Because anything that you can plan in advance feels like effort on your part. You got to work. You got to work. I'm never going to tell you not to work. I thought you're 21 years old, right? That's what you said.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. Grind away and make that money for the truck. Make that money for the house payment. Not going to fault you for that. But instead of just being like, nope, this is what I got to do, I think you meet it with, I completely hear you and understand. Here's why and here's what I want to do. Like, I think we should plan to do these things. And if you just plan in advance, she won't feel so disregarded. That would be my advice. Also, she might just be a dud. I don't know. I don't know her. But I think.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like, is. If she's not understanding that, is she for sure the one.

[Amy]

That's what I'm saying. Like, I hate to just go, you have to do all the changing. Because who. Why would you hold someone back who wants to work to build your future?

[Lunchbox]

Well, we don't know. There's a lot of missing pieces here. Like, we don't. How many times a week are y' all seeing each other? Like, once on the weekend or.

[Caller]

Well, so she's in school, in college, and I try to see her when she doesn't have classes and I'm not working. And every time that I try to make plans, something always comes up with her on her end.

[Amy]

Okay, so it's on her, too. And she's just holding you accountable, and that's unfair. So I think it's. You guys have to figure out when you both have openings, and that has to work for both of you. And if it doesn't, I don't know. I don't like her. I'll be honest with you guys.

[Eddie]

I don't like her.

[Lunchbox]

I think some of this is just going to be some maturing that needs to happen. You're also 21, dude, and she's in school. And.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, she's holding something against you that she's probably also guilty of doing, which is not making a lot of time for you. That's convenient for your schedule as well. Do you want to be with her? Like, is this, like, the one? Nope.

[Caller]

I can't have mixed feelings right now.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you should.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know that's hard to hear.

[Lunchbox]

It is.

[Amy]

We don't know you or her, so we don't have a bias. I think that's positive. But somebody who's treating a situation like this I don't like.

[Lunchbox]

In all seriousness, like, she could be the one. She's just. It's not right now, though. So just promise us that. That you'll not make any crazy moves to. To lock this in anytime soon.

[Amy]

Don't get her pregnant.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's sort of what I'm saying.

[Caller]

Well, I'm staying away from that. I don't need that.

[Amy]

Yeah, you don't need that. Not right now. Yeah, don't get her pregnant. Yeah. Okay. So here's our advice, Jordan. You keep working the way you're working because you're working for a reason, to save up money for the future. That's awesome. I think you could communicate a little better to her to go, hey, just so you understand, this is why I'm working. But let us together work on finding times that we both have open so we can spend quality time together. But it is going to be difficult when we're in our young 20s, because that's when you have to really work hard to just get even, not even ahead. And so then if it doesn't work, it just ain't going to work. Don't be guilted. Do not be guilted because you're working too hard. So that's all. That's what I'm going to say about that. Amy, anything you want to add?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I just think just talking through this and then 21, they can talk about. Well, talking through it, like you just said. I'm trying to think if there's anything else I would add. And it's not really just to take it slow and, yeah, plan ahead, take initiative. But if she's canceling, that's what's really throwing me off.

[Amy]

I feel like she don't even care if she ain't putting in the work. We got a boy over Jordan freaking working every day. He's so tired. All he wants to do is come and go to sleep and she's like canceling on him. Just go hang out at the student union.

[Eddie]

The quad.

[Amy]

Yeah, Jordan, hang in there. I'm telling you, you communicate a little better. And if she doesn't come back with equal positive communication, that's probably not the one, buddy. Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Hear that? That's what it sounds like when you plant more trees than you harvest. Work done by thousands of working forest professionals like Adam, a district forest manager who works to protect our forests from fires.

[Amy]

Keeping the forest fire resistant, synonymous with keeping the forest healthy. And we do that through planting more than we harvest and mitigate those risks through active management. It's a long term commitment.

Michael Lewis here. My book the Big Short tells the story of the buildup and birth of the US housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release and a decade after it became an Academy Award winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time.

[Morgan]

Hey there.

[Kyle McLaughlin]

I'm Kyle McLaughlin. You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks, Sex and the City, or just the Internet's dad. I have a New Orleans podcast called what Are We Even Doing? Where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture.

[Amy]

Daddy's looking good.

[Kyle McLaughlin]

Each week I invite someone fascinating to join me. Actors, musicians, creatives, highly evolved digital life forms. And we talk about what they love.

Sometimes I'll drizzle honey in there too if I'm feeling sexy in the morning.

[Kyle McLaughlin]

What keeps them going?

[Bobby Bones]

And you're maybe my biggest compliment competition on social media.

[Amy]

Like when a kid says bra to.

[Kyle McLaughlin]

Me and how they're navigating this high speed roller coaster we call reality.

[Bobby Bones]

In Australia, you're looking out for snakes, spiders and Right.

[Amy]

Hey, he's no Trey McDougal. Chill.

[Bobby Bones]

This is like the comments section of my Instagram.

[Kyle McLaughlin]

Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday and let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Amy]

It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. There was this pop up thrift store and they allowed community members to shop for clothing or household items or toys, all at no cost. So she set up the store outside of her home based on the idea of just community, not charity. And so people could just walk up. It's basically a yard sale. People could walk up and take whatever they needed.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool, that's nice.

[Amy]

And so one of the students from one of the college went because she was like, hey, look, I'm just struggling college kid. And she picked up items like a baby carriage for her Sister. And so it was also people looking out for other people from the one person that was looking out for everybody in the town. So they were saying it's like a pop up thrift store, but it's like a. I would say a slightly elevated yard sale where anybody could come and get whatever they wanted. I thought that was cool. I don't think I would have done it. I don't be in my yard mostly. That's it.

[Lunchbox]

But shout out.

[Amy]

We finally got our grass to grow back in certain places.

[Eddie]

Right. And then they're gonna just step all over.

[Amy]

I know, I know. And that's a bad way. I would do it somewhere else, but I. I think it's an awesome idea. And so she hopes to host more of these events through the year. And Jenny Nielsen, that is a great idea. It's an elevated yard sale, but free. And then also other people were bringing things that weren't. Be honest. I've done a lot of yard selling. You call them yard sales or garage sales?

[Lunchbox]

Garage sale.

[Eddie]

Depends if they're in the yard.

[Lunchbox]

Well, but even when they're in the yard, I call it a garage sale.

[Amy]

We used to go yard selling like that. I don't know if it's just my grandma called it, but we would go all the time. And sometimes there's a lot of crap there. But they kind of had a no crap rule. And you could bring stuff to drop it off to be given away too. But it couldn't be like broken crap. Because sometimes at yard sales you sell broken crap.

[Morgan]

Right?

[Amy]

Yeah. But no crap. And people benefited. I love the story from kpax. That is what it's all about.

[Ad]

That was.

[Amy]

Tell me something good. Fun fact Friday, right around the room, your most fun fact. I'll go first. The placenta that a woman grows during pregnancy is technically an organ. And it's the only organ that's meant to leave the body.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Huh?

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Well, y' all didn't know that about the female body, I gotta say.

[Eddie]

I mean, I guess if I really thought about it, I didn't know it.

[Morgan]

Was considered an organ.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know that I would have thought that either.

[Morgan]

I just know you could eat it.

[Eddie]

So that once it leaves, you get another one.

[Amy]

You regrow it regrows, and then the next baby gets that out.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Our bodies are amazing.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Back to it.

[Lunchbox]

All right, Amy, a YouGov poll conducted found that 41 of Americans believe that ghosts exist.

[Amy]

Do they count spirits, angels, Anything in that realm? Because I would Imagine with a number that high. That has to be the 41%.

[Lunchbox]

So it breaks some stuff down. It says 20% of them say they've had an encounter with one, and as many as 43% believe that demons exist. And 31% other supernatural beings.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Too many percentages for me to, like, comprehend, but 40% has to be total coverage, like angels, ghosts, any of that stuff. Other spirits, Some kind of spirit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, lunchbox.

[Morgan]

With it being Halloween, if you're headed to Hollywood, California, make sure you leave your silly string at home because it is banned on Halloween. If you get busted using silly string, you can be fined up to $1,000.

[Amy]

Contraband. That is Halloween contraband.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Marlon Brando had 16 children, and it's believed he's the father of a 17th, this woman named Linda Carroll. Linda went on to have a daughter, Courtney love. So Courtney love could be Marlon Brando's granddaughter. Whoa. Courtney love was married to Kurt cobain. She was leading a whole actress.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You know Marlon Brando. He's the godfather.

[Amy]

I know who he is. I never have seen the godfather movies, but I know who he is. All right, next up, Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Halloween wasn't always kid friendly, so trick or treating didn't happen until the 1930s, 1940s. Before that. That, the night often was just pranks and mischief that happened.

[Amy]

I hate some mischief.

[Eddie]

Never good.

[Amy]

I hate mischief so much. The u. S. Department of defense buys more explosive devices than anyone else in the world. At number two, the walt Disney company because of all the fireworks in the parks every night. Yep. Boom.

[Lunchbox]

Makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Amy]

Next.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Me. Candy corn was originally called chicken feed because it looked like chicken feed. And on the COVID of the box was a rooster.

[Amy]

I think that's a more fun name. Chicken feed.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Candy corn.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because corn. It looks like corn. Like, you know, kind of. But I think corn makes candy corn gross. And I like candy corn, but just candy and corn don't go together.

[Lunchbox]

But does chicken feed sound appealing?

[Amy]

No, because it's. Then it's just like a name. It's just like a. You created a candy.

[Eddie]

What's crazy, too, is they created that in 1880, and it's still around.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

People hate it, though. I love it. It's time for the good news with amy.

[Lunchbox]

At just 13 years old, this kid Jackson in Michigan is using his homemade haunted house to raise money for children with cancer. And why this is important to Jackson is because he was a kid with cancer. He has been in remission since 2022, but for the last several years, with the help of his dad, that they have set up a haunted house in their front yard. It takes them about a month to put it together, and then they charge people to go through. But all of the money goes to these shirts that you can buy kids with cancer. And it's a way for you to feel comfortable during treatment because you have all these ports and you're having to get, you know, IVs and injections and so you don't have to remove all your clothing. There's these special shirts with holes in the right places. And he gets to buy these shirts and give them to kids that are getting cancer treatment.

[Amy]

If the HOA steps in and says, I will fly up there and protest myself. I don't need the HOA to be taking this down. That's what they do sometimes. Horrible. That would be horrible.

[Lunchbox]

Especially this year, cuz now Make a Wish has gotten involved and apparently made the attraction just that much more.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, it looks haunted. It. It's the perfect mix. I'm. I'm looking at it. Of being cool, but also still diy.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, the tunnels are tarps, and then you walk through, and there's all kinds of stuff.

[Eddie]

Months to make that.

[Amy]

That's crazy. There's a. I was watching this video, and there's like, this. It's like a theme park that you go into, and as you go into it, they hire people to scare you, but are dressed as monsters. It's kind of like a. You walk in, and it's kind of all encompassing. You walk in little haunted rooms and. But then there are people that just come up and also go, ah. Like monsters. And there's a video of someone scaring one, and the dude just punched them right in the face.

[Eddie]

Poor guy's an actor.

[Amy]

Yeah. I was so mad for that.

[Lunchbox]

And, like, you know, that's part of it.

[Amy]

That's part of it. And he was like, what are you doing? And the person's on the ground like.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, a little too reactionary.

[Amy]

That sucked. Your story's good, though. That's what it's all about.

[Ad]

That was.

[Amy]

Tell me something good, Bones. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, and you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning.

[Bobby Bones]

Turn.

[Amy]

To put you through. M Riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what? This is the Bobby. Let's go over to Amy with the Morning Corny.

[Morgan]

The morning Corny.

[Lunchbox]

Why don't mummies take vacations?

[Amy]

Why don't mummies take vacations.

[Lunchbox]

They're afraid they'll unwind.

[Amy]

That was the morning Corny. All right.

[Lunchbox]

No, good.

[Morgan]

Good.

[Eddie]

It's pretty good.

[Lunchbox]

You want another one?

[Amy]

That's the final Halloween joke of the year. Just saying.

[Lunchbox]

But if I don't end strong.

[Amy]

Go ahead, do another one. I thought that was strong. I liked it. Give us another one.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

The Morning Corny.

[Lunchbox]

How did the ghost managed to haunt three houses at once?

[Eddie]

Ow.

[Lunchbox]

She used bootooth.

[Morgan]

Should have stood first.

[Amy]

It got worse. Morning. I think better would be like, how does a ghost listen to the music? Listen to his music in the car.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Michael Lewis]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

That was terrible. That was really bad.

[Eddie]

Did you make that one up?

[Lunchbox]

Why is a cemetery a great place to write a story?

[Amy]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

Because there are so many plots there.

[Amy]

That's pretty good. Okay. Yeah, we can give you a clap on that one.

[Lunchbox]

Sorry. Bluetooth needed some work.

[Amy]

Bobby Bone Show Bonehead story of the day.

[Morgan]

This story comes to us from Florida. A 76 year old man wanted the neighborhood to know no drugs allowed at his house. So he put a sign on the front of his house said no drugs allowed.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Only problem is he had people coming and going at all hours of the night. Neighbors got tired of it, police came, and guess what? He was dealing drugs from his house.

[Eddie]

The irony.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know that that's ironic.

[Eddie]

He's got a sign that says no drugs allowed and he's dealing drugs.

[Amy]

I think the first thing that would have led me to him dealing drugs is the sign that said no drugs allowed.

[Lunchbox]

Was he trying to do that thing where you hide in plain sight?

[Amy]

I think he was doing reverse.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, Reverse.

[Amy]

Yeah, reverse psychology. No drugs allowed. But really it was all drugs allowed, right? Okay.

[Morgan]

I'm lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

This is like the comments section of my Instagram.

[Kyle McLaughlin]

Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday. And let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Amy]

Let's check some voicemails.

[Caller]

Number one, I can't wait until five or six years in the future when Bobby's kid upsets him, makes him mad about something, and all of a sudden the first grade picture is off of his foam wallpaper and he's replacing it with an Arkansas Razorback later.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, what?

[Eddie]

I don't know. That'll happen. That's fair. What?

[Lunchbox]

I don't really understand what she's saying.

[Amy]

I keep my wife on my wallpaper, on my phone, and then whenever I passively, aggressively.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yes, you remove her and I.

[Amy]

Don'T put the opposite of her.

[Lunchbox]

So she's saying, you're gonna do that to your child?

[Amy]

She's saying that I will put the Arkansas Razorbacks up there.

[Lunchbox]

Right. To show your child I'm disappointed in you.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's what she's saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, you're not gonna do that.

[Amy]

You can't get mad at me for something that hasn't happened five years in the future. Well, we're warning you, but stop being disappointed in me for something I did not do.

[Lunchbox]

That's toxic, though.

[Amy]

I didn't do it. Yeah, everybody, shots.

[Caller]

Okay, next up, I'm calling about Amy's vision. Obviously it's about Kentucky playing Auburn this weekend. We're horrible at football. They're the War Eagles.

[Bobby Bones]

They're going to come in, swoop us up, no problem. That's your bet.

[Caller]

Thanks, guys.

[Eddie]

Think about that.

[Amy]

I didn't either. Who?

[Eddie]

Who?

[Lunchbox]

Who's playing who? Oh, so Auburn of the Eagles and.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, Auburn of the Tigers.

[Lunchbox]

The War Eagles.

[Amy]

That's the problem I have with that is that they say War Eagle.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

But they're the Auburn Tigers.

[Eddie]

Right, of course.

[Lunchbox]

I knew that, but keep going. Who they playing?

[Amy]

The Plant. Kentucky. That are Cats.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, this is all very clear now.

[Amy]

It's not, though, because the Auburn mascot is not an Eagle. The Auburn mascot is a Tiger. They fly the Eagle. They yell War Eagle.

[Eddie]

So it's very confusing.

[Amy]

I think I'm gonna just, you know, throw a little something on there, too, just in case that's the video, that.

[Lunchbox]

The other team are Cats.

[Amy]

So if Auburn's the Eagle and Auburn's a 10 and a half point favorite, I'll throw a hundy on it.

[Eddie]

Okay, so. So the.

[Amy]

But the real ones tonight. The games tonight, by the way.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

The Memphis. No, excuse me. The Rice Owls and Memphis Tigers.

[Lunchbox]

Tigers, yeah.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah, that game's tonight.

[Lunchbox]

We're calling that the real one. But now I'm kind of liking this Auburn situation.

[Amy]

But Auburn's not an Eagle.

[Lunchbox]

It's War Eagle, though. And when they're playing the other, if you can't have two cats versus each other. So you have to pick.

[Amy]

But that's what. That's what's happening with Auburn in Kentucky. There's no two cats facing each other.

[Lunchbox]

Right. But since Kentucky's clearly a cat.

[Eddie]

A wild cat.

[Lunchbox]

Wild cat.

[Amy]

And Auburn is clearly a tiger.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but you have to.

[Amy]

Their mascot's a tiger.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but since Wildcats are taking the cat category, you have to pick another animal. And that's where the Eagles.

[Amy]

You can't diversify here. It's definitely what we chose.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Amy]

If her prediction is right, the Rice Owls will cover against the Memphis Tigers.

[Eddie]

And what's the. What's the point?

[Amy]

I don't remember, but I know.

[Eddie]

Fourteen, maybe.

[Amy]

I know. I bet a bunch. And again, I did not know the game was tonight. It is tonight.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So that's our draft. Kings pick. Amy's vision so far, 3, 0.

[Eddie]

It's a tough one, Amy.

[Amy]

I bet last night on the Ravens and Dolphins, and I bet, like, 200 bucks for the Ravens to cover, and they did. And then I bet a whole bunch of stuff, like all the little stats. I didn't win. I broke even.

[Eddie]

Oh, you didn't win.

[Amy]

Those broke even on the night. Just so everybody knows I'm not the luckiest man ever.

[Eddie]

Well, you know, most of the time you're lucky.

[Amy]

No, that's not true.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

I just don't share when I'm not. Therefore, there are some weekends I Come on. 25 whistles, and I'm like, I've lost thousands of dollars. But these guys don't share that. They don't care about that. It doesn't fit their narrative.

[Eddie]

Their narrative of what? You're lucky.

[Amy]

Yeah, your narrative. You're there.

[Eddie]

I mean.

[Caller]

All right, next up, Lunchbox ran into.

[Amy]

Flavor Flav in the Nashville airport, and.

[Morgan]

You know, he denied him of getting a picture. Since Lunchbox is a celebrity, can't Lunchbox just tell other celebrities, like, hey, let's collaborate?

[Amy]

So it just makes me think, like.

[Caller]

Is Lunchbox really the celebrity that he.

[Amy]

Puts off if he can't even get a picture with another celebrity?

[Morgan]

All right, love the show.

[Amy]

Bye. Yeah, I've never seen a celebrity say no to a picture from another celebrity. In my history of seeing celebrities, I've never seen that.

[Lunchbox]

But don't you think most celebrities don't ask other celebrities for pictures?

[Eddie]

Sometimes?

[Amy]

Yeah, they ask for sure.

[Eddie]

You see it on Instagram.

[Amy]

Okay, can we get a picture on? Big fan. That happens a lot.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Or, hey, let's get a picture together. More so than. Can I get a picture with you? So I would say that I bet.

[Lunchbox]

They let them be more than they ask, though. They let them just chill. Cause as a celebrity, they get it. But Lunchbox isn't a celebrity, guys.

[Eddie]

No, he's not a celebrity. And it helps when, like, the other person knows who the other person is. And, like, oh, yeah. Tom Hanks. What's up? It's me, Brad Pitt.

[Lunchbox]

Right, right, right. And that's.

[Eddie]

That's we know each other.

[Lunchbox]

That's not what happened. Because Flava Flav doesn't know who he is.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Amy]

Lunchbox, your thoughts?

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's the thing is me and Flavor Flavor from two different, like, genres.

[Amy]

So famous and not famous.

[Morgan]

Disagree. And so I think that's part of the problem is that we, you know, if he was in the country realm or maybe, and so we don't interact.

[Amy]

You're going to say reality. He's done reality shows.

[Morgan]

Yeah. That's why I say that when I stopped. So I think that was the problem. And then also, I think that him being on FaceTime with someone kind of made it a little awkward.

[Amy]

No, I think you just aren't a celebrity.

[Lunchbox]

I think, like, if Blake Shelton walked up to him, he'd be like, oh, dude. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Hold on to the FaceTime.

[Lunchbox]

Blake is very country.

[Amy]

I think if anybody in the top 25 of Nashville celebrities walks up to him.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I just don't think he knows all the Celebrities in Nashville.

[Amy]

I would agree. He doesn't know all the celebrities in Nashville.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Morgan]

Because he obviously didn't know who I was.

[Amy]

Okay, next up.

[Caller]

I was just calling to see if Lunchbox took his dog to be blessed.

[Bobby Bones]

Like his wife asked him to do.

[Caller]

Thank you very much.

[Morgan]

No, I ended up not being able to go to the blessing because it was when I was in la getting.

[Amy]

On that price is right.

[Morgan]

Getting on that price is right. So, no, I missed the blessing. I didn't realize it was the same timeframe that I was going to be in la. So I will be on the lookout for any other pet blessing in Nashville, and I will attend.

[Eddie]

You can probably go to a church and just be like, father, can you please bless my dog?

[Amy]

I think, yeah, you could probably. Anything blessed, huh?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Amy]

Anything living.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. You just have to ask.

[Morgan]

I don't know if I can bring my dog just into a church, though.

[Amy]

I think you can go to the church and say, hey, can I bring my dog by to be blessed? And I think they would say yes.

[Morgan]

Oh, okay. I could try that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I did see this morning that RFK Jr. Is walking back his Tylenol autism claims a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

What's he saying?

[Amy]

I brought a clip of it.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Amy]

Which makes sense because everything else you would read that was independent and they were like, we have studied this for decades. Causation and correlation aren't the same thing, meaning Tylenol doesn't cause it. But some of the things that you're taking Tylenol for could be an issue that could be factoring in on things like autism. So causation and correlation are not the same thing. And so here he is, and this is what I believe is the first of many steps. This is like a quarter a step backward from what he had said previously. Go ahead.

[Morgan]

The causative association between Tylenol given in.

[Amy]

Pregnancy and the perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes us.

[Morgan]

But it is very suggestive. And it's suggestive in animal studies and.

[Amy]

Cord blood studies and observational studies from nation to nation.

[Morgan]

And so there should be a cautious approach to it. And that's why our message to patients.

[Amy]

To mothers, to people who are pregnant, under the mothers of young children, is consult your physician.

[Morgan]

And we have asked physicians to minimize.

[Amy]

The use to one. It's absolutely, absolutely necessary. That is about a quarter and a half step backward and good. But again, causation and correlation are not the same thing. And I think that was the biggest takeaway from this, is you had many Physicians and I talked to three doctors about it specifically because at the time we started hearing this, my wife was pregnant. And all three doctors were like, no, you can take Tylenol. It's actually the one thing you can take. Again, causation would be Tylenol causes things to happen. Correlation would be if there are fevers you're having, and then you take Tylenol for the fever. All the fevers could be affecting your body in a way, but you're also taking Tylenol to help the fever. So then you're like, well, I took Tylenol and now my body's doing this. Actually, it was from the fever. You were taking Tylenol because of the fever, Tylenol because of something else. So I'm glad. Now they're saying, consult your physician. That really wasn't what was being said initially. It's. It's so irresponsible at times. And so ask your doctor. That's what I say. And only I say that because that's what they. That's. That's what you're supposed to do.

[Eddie]

What if it's lunchbox's doctor, though? Where it's like, they can't.

[Amy]

They can't find it. He's been, he's been to seven of them.

[Eddie]

Go somewhere else.

[Amy]

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Admitted Wednesday that he does not have sufficient evidence that pregnant people's use of Tylenol can cause autism in their children. I would also like to say this in a positive way. I learn new information all the time. And then I go, oh, maybe I wasn't as correct as I thought about that. Anytime anybody does that, I must say thank you. Because I'm sure it's hard to walk out there and go, you know, we might have said that a little bit wrong then. So if someone can always come out and go, I learned new information. I've changed my mind. I like that. So I don't want to just point a finger and be like, you're wrong. I think it was presented extremely matter of fact that it became political on social media. So cool. You talk to your doctor. That should always be a. Talk to your doctor. It's just crazy to me that some doctors are stupid, though. Well, they're just people I know. Like, not, not most, but some doctors are. Some pilots are stupid.

[Eddie]

Like, I went to school with some people and they're doctors now.

[Lunchbox]

But it's like, how do you know if you have a stupid one?

[Amy]

You know, you just trust it. Yeah, it's just Bad luck, luck of the draw. But some doctors are idiots, some pilots are idiots, some. All these positions. Yeah, no doubt about. Some politicians are idiots. So that to me is wild. You move to a new town just looking for a doctor and you get the idiot doctor. That sucks. So big shout out to doctors that aren't idiots. I'm a big fan of doctors that aren't idiots. What'd you do yesterday?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I had long phone calls.

[Eddie]

Oh no.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh no, I wasn't there.

[Lunchbox]

I went to Pilates.

[Amy]

Did you break up with your boyfriend?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh, is that what that.

[Amy]

I don't know. It looked like a long face. She was like.

[Eddie]

I thought you knew what she was talking about.

[Amy]

Oh no, I didn't.

[Lunchbox]

No. I spent minus work and then Pilates. I spent pretty much the rest of the day on the phone just customer service, dealing with stuff, doing crap, talking.

[Eddie]

To idiot doctors, Warranty problems.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting you asked that. I. I don't think anybody. I trust everybody that I talk to. I hope, like they're not. I'm leaning into their expertise for sure. So hopefully they're not idiots. But yeah, you know, that. And then I think I took some Nyquil around 8 o' clock because my throat started to get a little. I. I've been on for a week, but I was nyquil last week. But then this week I've been off of it because I felt better. But then last night my left tonsil, every time I'd swallow my Hangy Bangy as Lunchbox would call it was hurting. And I don't know if it was just, just, who knows, it was a little bit of stress from the day or just whatever. So around 8 o' clock, my son doesn't have. Didn't have school for Halloween, I guess, but teacher. The pre teacher day or something. And it's not because it's Halloween, it's because the way they schedule kids get.

[Amy]

Off for Halloween now. No, they don't all but the Halloween break.

[Lunchbox]

I think they just chose to use one of their teacher work days or whatever for Halloween. So anyway, he didn't really have a. A strict bedtime last night. And I was like, hey, it's 8 o', clock, I'm going to bed. So make sure at least by 10 you're in bed.

[Amy]

And then you gave him full authority and autonomy on his own bedtime because.

[Lunchbox]

That'S how tired I was.

[Eddie]

And what time do you go to bed, Eddie?

[Lunchbox]

I was asleep.

[Eddie]

Let's see, like I won, man. I wonder like if I just let my kids Say like, all right, whatever time you want to go to bed, I don't think they'll sleep.

[Lunchbox]

He is a. If I were to say that to my daughter, I mean, and she's 18 now, so it's totally different, but if she were 15 and I were to say that to her, who knows? She would probably stay up all night. My son is such a rule follower, like, he likes to be. So I. To answer your question, I think I can answer with 99 normal times that he went to bed when I said.

[Amy]

Nyquil, the day after is tough.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Is it like a hangover?

[Amy]

Are you feeling that? It's like all your neurons and then your synapses in your brain aren't connecting. It's like they gotta go take some. They gotta divert from the original course to get to where they want to get.

[Eddie]

Sounds like a hangover.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. No, it's not like a hangover, but, yeah, I just.

[Amy]

You don't feel sick?

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

You know, pretty slow, but, I mean, I'm trying. I don't feel, like, groggy. I just.

[Amy]

If I have Nyquil, it's over. Dayquil doesn't do much. Nyquil does, because Nyquil, I think, has more alcohol in it.

[Lunchbox]

Well, Decoil's not going to put you to sleep, and Nyquil has. Whatever that is that sleepy time.

[Amy]

Yeah. I guess I'm saying for the day after.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Whatever Nyquil has in it for the day after, I'm. If I take nyquil, the next day, I am useless because I can't connect. My thoughts don't connect.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not totally useless.

[Amy]

Eddie, your day.

[Eddie]

I went to a Belmont soccer game.

[Amy]

Yeah. Eddie told us in his. Well, we were making fun of his Belmont hat yesterday.

[Lunchbox]

That was on 25 whistles, right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I was listening.

[Amy]

Amy was listening. She was in the glass room.

[Eddie]

Oh, I thought you listened. Listen like you downloaded it.

[Amy]

No, no, she was sitting in the glass room.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, I was working on some other stuff. Listening.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And so Eddie went because he had a friend in town, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I have a friend in town, and his son is dating soccer player at Belmont. And so the only time we could. It's not that I wanted to go to the soccer game, but the only time we can get together, me and my friend, was at that game because he wanted to go to dinner, but we couldn't do that. So I was like, I'll just meet you at the game. We'll hang out and catch up.

[Amy]

And How'd it go?

[Eddie]

They won. Yeah. Belmont won 2 to 0. We caught up. It was cool. His son was there. I hadn't seen. I hadn't seen his son since he was 6 years old, 7 years old. And so it was cool to see him. He's like 19 now, in college. Crazy. And then, like, he used to hang out with my son when they were both 5 years old. So he's like, how's. How's it going? Your son doing? Like, that's crazy, man. Like, you're in college, My son's about to go to college. It's just crazy. Just. I just. It was like a moment where, like, man, time flies.

[Amy]

Came home yesterday. Worked out before. I got tired. I've been getting tired. I guess it's getting darker earlier and. Yeah, I don't know, I just. I got a bit of seasonal depression and probably life depression.

[Eddie]

What, are you depressed?

[Amy]

I think so.

[Lunchbox]

Like, on a scale of one to.

[Amy]

One and a half.

[Lunchbox]

Ten.

[Eddie]

Oh, one and a half. Okay. That's pretty good. That's manageable.

[Amy]

Yeah. So it's just getting darker. I can't. I like to play outside with the kids. You know, I like to be out longer. Street lights. It's a cold aside. Street lights, come on. I gotta go back inside. So came home, worked out, and then we don't do a lot right now because it's hard to gauge if my wife is going to feel good or not because she's pregnant, and so she's feeling pretty good. And I was like, hey, let's watch a movie. So we. Hey, Morgan, we watched House of Dynamite or whatever it's called.

[Lunchbox]

Ooh.

[Bobby Bones]

What did you think?

[Amy]

Well, is that what it's called? House of Dynamite?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, House of Dynamite.

[Amy]

I don't know if I can even share what I think.

[Lunchbox]

Well, read it, because now I need to know if I should watch it.

[Amy]

I can tell you this. My wife, when we finished it. No, I don't even want to. I can't.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But give it stars.

[Amy]

I will just say this. We had such a difference of opinion on the movie, more than any other movie I think we have ever watched.

[Lunchbox]

So was she one star or five stars or vice versa? Who liked it? Who didn't?

[Amy]

Morgan, Is it weird for me to even share that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so. But I do find it difficult to rate it because it just feels like it was supposed to be something that just teaches you something that's. That's the purpose to me.

[Amy]

I think some people are going to watch it and they are going to walk, like in viral videos and grab Their television screen and throw it out the window.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

And I think some people are going to watch it like myself, completely fulfilled.

[Lunchbox]

Oh. So she didn't like it.

[Amy]

She said that was the biggest waste of two hours that I think I have ever experienced. And then we had. Then we watched the Thunder game. We were watching. I don't want to watch any more Thunder games. Listen, I'm a sports fan.

[Eddie]

You watched every single one.

[Amy]

Enough, enough.

[Eddie]

What's There been like 3 or 4?

[Amy]

We were watching and I think I just so wasn't paying attention last night. Let me see if I can remember who they were playing without looking it up because they won and it was over quick. So they were playing a bad team. So they were playing and they were in blue. And she said, did you know Thunder have the lowest three point percentage of anybody in the NBA? Then I watched him at three in a row and I was like, well, guess that's up.

[Eddie]

That percentage just went up.

[Amy]

Yeah, they played somebody bad. Don't tell me. Do you have a mic? Are they bad?

[Eddie]

I know.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's Wizards. Yep. Yeah, it was the Wizards. It was. So we will them two day wasn't even the game. Wait. Because we have league pass, which I call NBA Sunday ticket. And so she watches every game and because it was over pretty quick and she. Oh, she said I'm gonna fall asleep watching the game so just turn it off when it's over. Which she doesn't do often. But then she couldn't go to sleep because she wanted to watch the whole game. And I was waiting for it to doze off so I could turn that stupid thing off.

[Eddie]

Did you at least bet on it?

[Amy]

No. Oh, I can't bet NBA.

[Eddie]

It's tough.

[Amy]

It sucks. Yeah, it sucks. And everything happens in the fourth quarter. Yeah, everything. You don't even gotta watch first three quarters. So that's what we did last night. Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

What'd you guys do yesterday? We had stupid trunk or treat in my kids school. Yeah, that was it. We just went and they dressed up in their costumes and they walked around the parking lot, got free candy, chatted up with some other parents. You know, small talk. Hey, how's it going? Happy Halloween.

[Amy]

Woohoo.

[Morgan]

Eat some candy. Yeah, yeah. Pat some people on the back. And that was about it.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox. My wife and I came up with a great idea for that. Trunk or tree candy.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Give that candy out to the kids in Halloween tonight.

[Morgan]

Smart. Because we so smart.

[Eddie]

Like if my kids keep the the trunk or treat candy, it's gonna be way too much. So we're taking the candy we got from trunk or treat.

[Amy]

I don't know what trick or treat is.

[Eddie]

It's just like, in a church parking lot and you go from car to car.

[Amy]

Oh, the trunk of a car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's really stupid. It's really annoying. And it was started, like, trunk or treat was started for, like, if you're in a dangerous neighborhood, it gives children safe place to trunk to trick or treat. And now every business, church, school. So there's like 500 trunk or treats every season. So you go trick or treating about 50 times before Halloween even gets here. It's really annoying.

[Amy]

Sounds awesome as a kid.

[Eddie]

So you do have a lot of candy.

[Amy]

Candy. Like, did you bring any with you?

[Eddie]

No. No. That's what we're gonna give away tonight.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Eddie]

Because I got to work tonight.

[Amy]

What?

[Eddie]

I'm working chains.

[Amy]

You back at the game? Yeah. Working the chain game.

[Eddie]

Friday Night lights.

[Amy]

He has a call.

[Eddie]

Got the call.

[Amy]

He did it the first time. They never called him back.

[Lunchbox]

Is it like just league stuff or is the school.

[Amy]

It's high school. High school.

[Eddie]

High school football.

[Lunchbox]

You're doing the chains at a high chain gang.

[Eddie]

That's right. This is gonna be the third time I've done it. Well, second big game. No, it's just a regular. Well, yeah. Kind of town rival.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, man, I feel like that's a bigger, more popular game if it's a town rival.

[Eddie]

So. And I.

[Amy]

Pressure's on.

[Eddie]

I asked Bobby, though, it's Halloween, Should I dress up like Dracula or something? He's like, no, don't.

[Amy]

Is it on the chain gang? No. No.

[Lunchbox]

Why? That's fun.

[Eddie]

Or like, a murdered chain gang member.

[Bobby Bones]

This.

[Amy]

This is. It's not supposed to be fun.

[Eddie]

This is official.

[Amy]

It's an official game.

[Eddie]

It is official because sometimes, Amy, we have to be called out to the field to measure. So, people.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but how funny if you're, like.

[Eddie]

Dressed up and I limp outside?

[Amy]

It's not a comedy routine. You don't need your person deciding where the ball. Where the spot of the ball is.

[Eddie]

I limped to the 50 yard line like a zombie.

[Amy]

We then debated on 25 whistles what costume he should wear if he did. And I said, hey, you know how wheel of fortune, they have that category that's like home alone with you. It's like, there's that middle. There's like.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

We didn't know what that was really called. Before and after maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And I said, eddie should be a Chain gang banger. Okay, so he's a guy that runs the chain gang and a gang banger.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And he's on his, like, blood. How do you get.

[Lunchbox]

How does that. How do you get called to do the high school? Like, you don't have a kid that plays high school football?

[Eddie]

I don't, but. But my friend. My friend does it. He's part of the chain gang. So one time, One day, he just recruited you. One day somebody called in sick, and so I got the call.

[Lunchbox]

I guess somebody else called and I.

[Eddie]

Did such a good job that they're like, what are you doing on Halloween night? Boom.

[Amy]

He doesn't get paid, though. And it's a Friday night.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like, what's your wife gonna do? She's gonna pass out.

[Eddie]

No, they're all going. Like, the kids like to go to the football game.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

It's a thing. And all their friends are going.

[Lunchbox]

I know. I'm trying to decide if we're gonna go to a football game.

[Eddie]

And my son did say it's pretty cool seeing you out there. Like, all my friends, like, what's your dad doing out there? Like, chain gang.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

He's the chain gang banger with my bandana hanging out. All right, let's grab some calls. Let's go to Robin in Indiana, who's on line eight. Hey, Robin, you're on.

[Caller]

Hello, studio. Good morning.

[Amy]

What's going on?

[Caller]

What I want to know is. This is from Morgan. I've had Covid back in 2000 and I had lost my smell, and I can't even. I can even clean out the litter box and not smell it. How's her regimen going?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, it's been going awesome. My smells coming back. All of my, like, long Covid symptoms are starting to go away. It's crazy.

[Amy]

How long ago did you get Covid and lose your smell?

[Bobby Bones]

So I lost it. It was 20. 21.

[Amy]

And how many years did you just not have smell?

[Bobby Bones]

Four years.

[Amy]

And now it's getting better because.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, because I've been doing, like a very strict regimen. I've been on. I've been on a completely vegan gluten free diet. I've been doing red light therapy, infrared saunas, a full detox. Parasite cleanses like. Like, it's been a whole journey for the past month and a half where I've just been a very strict lifestyle of doing very healthy things for my life.

[Amy]

And what do you think about that is helping you?

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's a detox one. It's like. So what we've learned is that I have what they call a dirty gene. It's called mthfr and it, like, holds up. I know terminology.

[Amy]

Yeah. Well, all the guys looked up like, you have a what?

[Lunchbox]

Empty?

[Amy]

No, a dirty gene.

[Morgan]

Dirty gene.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's an easier thing.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So my body. My body holds on to viruses and stuff a lot more than everybody else. So we think that, like, long covet was just Covid sticking around in my body. So the detox and stuff was helping get that virus finally out of my body, which is why all the symptoms were hanging on. So I would say my smell is probably at, like 40% now. The smell's been the hardest one to get back. I haven't had any verdict vertigo episodes, which is awesome. But it's been a journey. It did not come easy.

[Amy]

Was it worth. And is it worth spending all that time being very disciplined to get your smell back?

[Bobby Bones]

I hope so. I hope it's going to end up being back 100%.

[Amy]

Well, I'm saying if. Even if it does come back 100% because you're having to dedicate a lot of your life to it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Is it worth all the time you're dedicating to your life to get your smell back?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if the smell back is the number one. Like, I don't know that. If my smell is the only thing, I don't know that I would have went through all of this.

[Amy]

Anything else happening? Like, is your hair getting thicker? Are you losing weight? Other things that you're seeing with your body because you're doing all these other things. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I've lost 15 pounds, which was crazy. And my skin's, like, perfectly. I don't have any acne or stuff going on. Like, the inflammation in my body is gone.

[Eddie]

Is your brain sharper?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I don't feel brain fog. I don't have to take a nap every day. I'm sleeping better. It just like, why do you look at me?

[Morgan]

Eddie. Eddie.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

You're up to no good. You're about to say, I'm telling you, you're up to no good.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox and Eddie, they both gave me.

[Amy]

Side eye and I didn't.

[Eddie]

I'm not meaning anything.

[Lunchbox]

He goes, is your brain sharper? Or whatever? And she's like, yes. And then Lunchbox's face, they're like, okay.

[Amy]

I know.

[Morgan]

No wonder she's highly intelligent.

[Eddie]

Genius level.

[Lunchbox]

I am.

[Amy]

You know, it's fine, Robin. So Morgan did suffer for years and years with that. So what do you have to say to that?

[Caller]

I'm gonna try anything I can because I tell you, if you can scoop out kitty litter and not smell it, you've got problems.

[Amy]

I think. I don't know. Morgan, could you put up, like, really what your rigorous process is, like, as something on our website? Because I'm sure. No, I know for sure because I've had other listeners message me that are still dealing with this. Meaning they got Covid, they lost their smell, and they still don't have it back. Or they only have part of it back.

[Lunchbox]

How do you find out if you have the dirty gene?

[Bobby Bones]

It's blood work. And laugh.

[Amy]

You can look and just tell. Yeah, check them out. Yeah. Morgan walked in one day, she was like, what do you guys. What do you think of my jeans? We're like, they're dirty. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so blood work.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Blood work.

[Lunchbox]

Blood work.

[Amy]

Okay, Robin, thank you for your call, and I hope that this helps. And we'll have Morgan, as much as she wants to, because I know it's personal stuff, but as much as she wants to, we'll have her put up the information on our website. Okay?

[Caller]

Okay. Thank you so much. You guys have a good day.

[Amy]

Yeah, you too. Appreciate that. And we will see you guys on Monday.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Amy]

If you're not an oyster lover, don't even talk to me.

[Lunchbox]

Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster.

No way.
