Episode Overview

This Friday edition of The Bobby Bones Show features an energetic blend of playful team trivia, a listener mailbag with a hot parenting debate, personal banter and rumors about Lunchbox’s adventures on “The Price is Right,” and a segment where the crew tries (and sometimes fails hilariously) to craft three-word personal horror stories. The episode also showcases an interview with country superstar Luke Combs, the weekly “Fun Fact Friday,” and some classic good news segments. As always, the team’s camaraderie and humor are front and center.

Key Segments & Discussion Highlights

1. Easy Trivia: Frantic Face-Offs

[02:57 – 11:39]

• Game Begins: Bobby tosses simple knowledge questions at the crew—Eddie, Amy, Lunchbox, and Morgan—to determine who retains or claims the trivia “tiara.”
• Sample Questions/Categories:
  • Days in a week, rainbow colors, sports associations, baby animals, state attractions, science answers, sidekicks, superhero catchphrases.
• Noteworthy Moments:
  • Eddie is dethroned early by flubbing “baby goat” (“lamb” instead of “kid”).
  • Amy’s major misstep: “Amy, what state is Plymouth Rock in?” “South Dakota?” ([06:05]) draws collective hilarity and disbelief.
  • Superhero confusion: Lunchbox can’t identify “Up, up, and away” as Superman’s catchphrase ([10:14]).
• Quote:
  • Bobby: “Did the pilgrims land on a carved mountain full of presidents? That hadn’t even happened yet.” ([07:02])
• Result: Morgan clinches her first-ever trivia championship by correctly naming Captain America’s catchphrase ([11:39]).

2. Mailbag: Push or Coddle? Parenting Dilemma

[11:56 – 17:05]

• Situation: A dad asks for advice—his son, graduating soon with an associate’s in cybersecurity, shows little drive to move out or start his career; mom is more lenient.
• Team’s Takes:
  • Amy: “She needs to want to prepare him for taking care of himself, and he is not there yet.” ([12:39])
  • Bobby: “You feel like you’re helping him, but you’re hurting him… part of the job is to give kids the tools...” ([13:10])
  • Eddie admits he’ll be tough: “The doors are locked. You’re not allowed to come home unless something really bad happens.” ([13:54])
  • Lunchbox notes his own prolonged home stay—till 25—admitting, “There was absolutely no rules… except I needed to be there with grandma…” ([15:38])
• Consensus: The main issue is communication with the enabling parent first; the need for push, boundaries, and “tooling up” the child for independence.

---

3. Interview: Life & Perspective with Luke Combs

[19:57 – 27:14]

• Conveniences of Fame:
  • “It makes your life really convenient and it makes your life really inconvenient.” ([20:09])
  • Pros: travel perks, access to events; Cons: lack of privacy, constant public scrutiny.
• Self-worth & Comparisons:
  • “I don’t derive any of my self-worth from being famous. I try to derive it from being a good friend… being kind.” ([21:20])
  • When Bobby asks if he compares himself to the other top-tier country acts:
    • “I really want to try to run my own race… I can be nothing but happy for anyone else having success.” ([23:00])
• Creative Process:
  • Luke shares how his newest album contains fewer self-written songs, attributing it to life with kids and letting go of ego:
    • “Some of my favorite songs on this record I didn’t write. I didn’t write the title track…” ([26:22])

---

4. Fun Fact Friday

[28:47 – 33:51]

• Quick-fire round where each host offers a quirky fact:

5. Is Lunchbox Pulling Off the Greatest “Price Is Right” Hoax?

[33:56 – 38:43]

• Listener asks: When will Lunchbox’s “Price is Right” episode air?
• Suspicion Arises: Bobby and the team wonder if Lunchbox secretly got on stage and is playing an elaborate prank for a huge reveal.
• Debate: Is Lunchbox secretly a contestant or not? Odds and theories are thrown about.
  • Bobby: “If he gets on for my birthday [April 2nd] and pulls off the greatest bit prank in the history of the show—what a gift that would be.” ([38:00])
  • Lunchbox: “I don’t think you understand. The camera goes right in front of your face… So there’s no chance I’m not on the show.” ([35:17])

---

6. Three-Word Horror Stories

[41:24 – 47:29]

• Premise: Amy tasks the team to invent the scariest three-word sentence (horror stories), sharing hers—intensely literal:

  • Lunchbox: “Lottery is canceled.” ([43:53])

  • The team roasts Amy for going morbidly literal or vague, and escalate into increasingly ridiculous/awkward attempts.

• Amy: “You have cancer.” ([41:38]) – The humor collision that set the tone for the “horror stories” game.

Morgan. Which gas do plants absorb from the atmosphere?

[Jo Interestine]

Okay.

[Amy]

And it's a two word.

[Jo Interestine]

Which gas?

[Amy]

Can you repeat again?

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. What gas do plants absorb from the atmosphere? Yeah, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Need an answer.

[Amy]

Carbon dioxide.

Okay, come on, Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Famous sidekicks. Okay, Lunchbox, who was Conan o' Brien's longtime sidekick and competed on last season's Dancing with the Stars?

[Lunchbox]

Huh?

[Lunchbox]

No, that's Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, gosh. Andy Richter.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Lunchbox]

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, I did not know that I

[Lunchbox]

had Horacio, but that was like that in Jimmy Kimmel's Horizon.

[Eddie]

No, it's not, actually.

[Lunchbox]

What's his name?

[Eddie]

His name is Guillermo. Guillermo.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. So that's all I could think of. And I was like, oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, all right, Morgan. Dr. Watson is what famous detective sidekick?

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Watson is what famous detective sidekick?

[Amy]

Oh, wow. I wasn't. I don't think I was alive for this. I mean, the only famous detective that I know of is Sherlock Holmes. But did he have a Sidekick? That was a doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Watson is what famous detective sidekick? You need an answer.

[Amy]

My palms are so sweaty. Sherlock Holmes.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so you were alive for that?

[Amy]

I guess that's the only one I know of.

[Bobby Bones]

None of us were alive when it was written. But it's been remade a million times. Okay, superhero catchphrases.

[Eddie]

Stop.

[Lunchbox]

No. This is not fair.

[Bobby Bones]

You can do it.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know any of these guys.

[Bobby Bones]

What superhero says up, up, and away, lunchbox?

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Up, up, and away. Up, up, and away.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I have no idea. Up, up, and away. Up, up, and away. Five seconds to infinity, Buzz Lightyear. I mean, someone that goes in the sky, so has to be Iron Man.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he talked himself to it and then ran away from it. Who goes up in the sky?

[Amy]

He wears a big S. Well, Superman

[Lunchbox]

does, but so does Iron Man. So does I. I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

I've never heard of Superman. Even said it exactly like Superman says it up.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, I've never heard him say that.

[Eddie]

How's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, Morgan.

[Amy]

She loves.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, but yours was so easy.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think it was. I. I've watched Superman.

[Bobby Bones]

You even talked yourself to the answer. Like, who flies, Fozzie Bear? I don't. Okay. Ready, Morgan?

[Amy]

I'm ready.

[Lunchbox]

You got it.

[Bobby Bones]

What superhero says, I can do this all day?

[Amy]

I can do this all day. That's Captain America, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Our first ever championship.

[Morgan]

Bones, it's the anonymous sandbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Anonymous sandbox. There's a question to be asked. Send it into the mailbag.

[Lunchbox]

Hello, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones. Through high school, our son has shown little desire to take control of his own life. Despite encouragement from me and my wife, he still doesn't have interest in getting his driver's license. He's just fine with us driving him everywhere. Weird, right? Well, in three months, he's going to graduate. He has a two year associate's degree in cybersecurity. He said that there have been internship opportunities discussed, but he didn't want to be bothered with it. So he's shown little to no interest in figuring out what job he should get. My wife seems content to coddle him a bit longer. What do you think we should do? What can I do to light a fire under his butt without my wife thinking that I'm trying to kick him out forcibly? Sign, dad. Hoping for a spark. Let's go to you guys that have older kids. Amy.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think that. Yeah, we need to put something in place here. We're enabling. This lack of desire, this. Him being comfortable at home. And I get that it's not you. Maybe it's mostly your wife. You use the word coddled, I'll use the word enabling. Like, she needs to want to prepare him for taking care of himself, and he is not there yet. And that needs to start happening now. So set some boundaries.

[Bobby Bones]

You're also hurting him.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If I were to talk to the mom, I would say, I know you feel like you're helping him, but you're hurting him because you're not giving him the tools to succeed later. And that's part of the job as a parent, is to give kids the tools so that when the parents not around, they still are able to do the work they need to do using those tools. You're not giving them those tools, so you're doing them a disservice while you're thinking you're doing him a service.

[Eddie]

Eddie, I'm not there yet because my son's 18. He hasn't graduated high school yet. But I In plan. I have a plan already set to where if he ever thinks he's going to come back home, it's not going to happen. I want to be there emotionally to support him and give him advice on what to do. But the doors are locked. Like, you're not allowed to come home unless, like, something really bad happens and you need something.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna push him out?

[Eddie]

It's like the bird, man. The bird's gotta fly from the nest.

[Bobby Bones]

But when do you make the bird fly? Like, soon.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Once he graduates high school, if he's gonna go to college, then we're gonna set you up and help you go to college.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Eddie]

If it's, you don't want to go to college, you want to go work, then go work.

[Amy]

And where does it have to live?

[Eddie]

Go find a place to live. We'll help you find it.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. End up moving back in with his parents.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that was. That was an unfortunate situation. Couldn't afford to pay rent, and so I needed to live with mom and dad for a little while and Grandma.

[Bobby Bones]

That's mostly why you moved back, though, because you can't afford to pay rent.

[Eddie]

Right, Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I just. I mean, so I think sometimes you gotta let. Because I had a job, it's not like I wasn't working. So I think them giving me shelter, it was because I had a job. I didn't have a job. I don't think they would have welcomed. Welcomed me with open arms. And so, Eddie, I feel bad for your kid because you can't Only let him get on Facebook, spend the night somewhere. But you are gonna kick him out of the house?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, yeah. What does that have to do with Facebook? And spend the night at somewhere? Like, we've already. He has a job. He's had a job, so he knows how to work now. It's just. How are you gonna live by yourself?

[Lunchbox]

Did you move out, right, at 18, right?

[Eddie]

I did not, but that's because I went to college in my hometown.

[Bobby Bones]

But what if he does that?

[Eddie]

Then we'll help him get a place.

[Bobby Bones]

But your parents let you stay in that place.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but I didn't like how my parents did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's fair.

[Eddie]

I really didn't. And, like, even with my older brother, like, he would come back and go move out, and then come back and move out. And I remember telling, like, why? Why, like, once I'm gone, I'm not coming back.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did you move back?

[Morgan]

Because you didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Couldn't afford to live by yourself.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And how. What age did you move out again?

[Lunchbox]

25.

[Bobby Bones]

He lives with your parents till you're 25?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did you like that? Did they have rules at home and everything?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, there was no rules. There was absolutely no rules. Except for. I. I mean, usually Saturday mornings I needed to be there with grandma because so my parents could go garage sailing and so I could watch grandma, and so that was really it. So, like, if I was out the night before and I spent the night somewhere, I had to get up early and get home so they could go garage sale.

[Bobby Bones]

I think in this conversation specifically, I think you have to communicate to your wife that she thinks she's taking care of him, but she's actually hurting him long term. Yeah, that's got to be that comm. It's not the kid that you have to communicate this to because he's making his decisions based on what he's allowed to do. And looks like you guys are allowing him and you're enabling him and you're not preparing him with life skills. So I think it's the conversation with the wife first, and it's going to be hard for her, and then it's the conversation to the kids second because he's only following his lead.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Eddie]

This is tough, man.

[Morgan]

It's a hard.

[Eddie]

It's a hard decision to make.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But it's. I think it's the better decision.

[Bobby Bones]

It's.

[Amy]

It's more difficult because they've allowed this the last two years or whatever. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Good luck.

[Bobby Bones]

It's hard.

[Amy]

Don't yeah, don't let another year pass and be like, oh, I wish I would have had that conversation. It should.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to get the wife on board before the kid. I know it's about.

[Amy]

Yeah, and try to hear her and see her and understand where she's coming from. Because some of it might be because of her upbringing.

[Bobby Bones]

Like great point. So yeah, good luck.

Hi, this is Jill Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast where we talk about astrology, natal charts and how to step into your most vibrant life. And I just sat down with a mini driver, the Irish traveler said when I was 16. You're going to have a terrible time with men. Actor, storyteller and unapologetic Aquarian visionary. Aquarius is all about freedom loving and different perspectives and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius like are Misunderstood A Sun and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership.

[Bobby Bones]

He really has taught me to embrace

[Jo Interestine]

people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses, in different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all. If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chart side view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity and real life, this episode is a must. Listen Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast starting on February 24th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your podcast. What if mind control is real?

[Morgan]

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Jo Interestine]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Bobby Bones]

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Jo Interestine]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[Morgan]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Jo Interestine]

Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access My subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[Morgan]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Jo Interestine]

Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all. NLP might actually work.

[Amy]

This is wild.

[Jo Interestine]

Listen to Mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

[Bobby Bones]

your podcasts on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Luke Combs, what happens that we don't see whenever you are super famous now you've been exposed to.

[Morgan]

I think it makes your life really convenient and it makes your life really inconvenient.

[Bobby Bones]

Do convenience first.

[Morgan]

Convenience is obviously the ability and the financial freedom to like, travel the way that you want to travel, stay at the places you want to stay, have access to things that other people wouldn't have access to. That is like tickets to sporting events. And like people want you to go to stuff and be at stuff. And that is a really cool thing. The inconvenience is just like the obvious. Like people following you to your house or people trying to figure out where you're staying so they can get a bunch of autographs from you and sell them or what. Like there's all these things. Like you are never. You always feel like someone's looking at you all the time when I'm anywhere, not like in a fear way, but just kind of like it's weird to say doing what I do that I really don't like to be the center of attention that much, especially when I'm outside of, of my job parameters. Like, I don't want people to think that I think I'm cool or famous. Like I'm aware of it, but it's not something that I take a lot of stock in. Like, it doesn't provide me with a lot of like mental fulfillment.

[Bobby Bones]

The fame part of it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like I'm not like, oh, I'm famous. And that is like, I don't derive any of my self worth from being famous. Like I try to derive my self worth from like being a good friend or like being good to the people that work for me and being kind to people that like at the venues we play at or being nice to fans in public. Like, that's where I derive a lot of my self worth from is like just maintaining, like trying to be a good person. I think is important to me. And trying to be kind to people and going out of my way to do nice things for people and giving back to people, I feel like is. And fame has allowed me to do that on a greater level than I could have ever been able to do that. So very thankful for that part of it, you know? But you just kind of. Like, sometimes you're out, and you're just like. I feel like everyone's like. I'm kind of embarrassed because, like, everyone's looking at me.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever get caught up in it early?

[Morgan]

Not. Not really, no. I. Because it happened so fast. There was like. Like, I didn't have any free time. Like, it hasn't gotten, like, real, like, really convenient until the. Like, the last two years. And now I've got kids, so I've got that going on. So it's like.

[Jo Interestine]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

I just feel like the way I am with my friends and my family and stuff, like, they would just have never let me get to that point, you know, And I didn't want to get to that point anyways, like, of being this, like, big, egotistical guy.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I'm gonna. This is my opinion.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a tier in current country music, and I'm gonna eliminate all the greats. I'm gonna take the guards out, so they're out. But there's a tier in that. Top tier, in my opinion, is you and Wallen and Zach Bryan for multiple reasons. Streaming success, number one, touring success. Right. You guys are doing stadiums.

[Lunchbox]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Does somebody like you still compare yourself to other people?

[Morgan]

I don't think musically really ever. Like, I'm not like. Well, I need my stuff to sound more like this guy's or that guy's. Obviously, you're aware of other people's success just because, like, I feel like my team is more obsessed with it than I am. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, but it's not something I ever try to get caught up in. Like, I really want to try to run my own race, you know, I can be nothing but happy for anyone else having success. To me, like, it's so rare to achieve, and it's like, the first time there's. I mean, there's been two stadia max in country music history before right now, Chesney and Garth. That's really it. On a consistent basis. So to have three guys doing it at one time, it speaks to the, you know, the overall health of the genre. It's like, it's it's, you know, it's in a better place than it's ever been in, and it's been in some really great places in the past. So I feel lucky to be a part of that. And I think for me, I joke about that stuff more than take it seriously. Like, I remember thinking, like, man, I, you know, put out this one's for you, and it ties Shania's record for the longest number one. And then Morgan puts his album out and beats it. And it's like, you know, it happens, but it's like, what's that? It doesn't really change anything. For me, there was like six months where I was the best selling country artist of all time, and then it was Morgan shortly afterwards. So it's like, it's never going to, like, it never stops. And I don't know, I just. I just feel like it's a waste of time to worry about that stuff, man. Like, I have so much good stuff going on. I have no, like, need to be the biggest or best guy that's ever done it or, like, the most tickets or. I just feel like you're missing the whole point of it.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the point of it?

[Morgan]

The point of it is, like, to enjoy it. Like, to look back on your life and say, man, like, we did that. We accomplished it in a way we felt good about. We were good to people that we met along the way. And I've lived a great, fulfilling life that was full of career success, but also full of time spent with my kids and time spent with my friends and enjoying the things that I want to enjoy and enjoying kind of like the spoils of war, like, getting to, like, go sitting courtside at a Lakers game. Like, I don't take that stuff for granted. It's so cool to be able to get to do that. It's something I never would have been able to do, you know, in the past. And so just that's what it is, man. Like, if we're caught in the trappings of, like, who's the biggest this and I'm the best that, like, are you even really enjoying? Are you. What are you even doing it for? If that's why you're doing it, why are you even doing it, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you need a break ever creatively, to get creative again?

[Morgan]

Oh, big time. I feel like right now I'm like, I want to write more than I ever have, and I've got an album coming out in March. Just because I haven't had time to, like, I love writing on Stuff and writing stuff for my records. And Willie Nelson, Stardust. It's Willie's most successful record of all time. Okay. And Willie Nelson, I think we can all agree, is one of the best songwriters in the history of country music. Right. This is his most successful album he's ever had, and it's the only album that he didn't write any songs on. And this album that I'm about to put out, is this the album that I've written the least songs on. I still wrote a lot, but there's not many that were, like, my idea from inception. A lot of them were ideas or starts that came from my buddies. And then some of them are songs that I didn't write on at all. And, like, some of my favorite songs on this record, I didn't write. I didn't write the title track to this record, who I Am the Way I Am.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I didn't write that song. And those are some of my favorite songs on the record. And it was. Some of it was out of necessity from a time standpoint of just trying to be home with the kids more and trying to be present with my wife and, like, being there for my family while also doing the, you know, going. Playing these crazy festivals last year and making this record. And some of it was out of necessity, but some of it was also out of, like, letting go of, like, the need. Like, maybe there was this egotistical need of, like, well, I feel like I need to write my songs because that adds something to my thing. And I think that it does sometimes. You know, it doesn't always. And, you know, but I do think that sometimes, like, I want people to know. It wasn't ever the. It wasn't ever the thought of, look how smart of a guy I am or look how good I am at writing the stuff. It was more like I wanted people to know that I'm, like, putting the work in. That was my thinking at the time, was like, well, I'm not just phoning this in.

[Lunchbox]

It's time for the good news with

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby on the river. They see something moving around on Lope's ice, and there's a bald eagle stranded floating out there. It had been hurt. So they see the eagle struggling, floating on a small piece of ice. It couldn't fly. So the police that were on patrol said, all right, we got to go out there and get it. So they go out, they get a boat, and they go. And that bird's freaking out, too. Like, even if you're getting saved and you're A bird. You don't exactly know what's happening. Yeah, you're an injured bird, and if you're injured, you're thinking nothing's good at this point. But they get out. They were able to take the bird, catch it with that with a pole, bring it back in. They took it to an avian rehab. How you say it? Avian. Like avian flu.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Bird flu.

[Bobby Bones]

To a rehab facility in New Jersey. So they saved the bird. It's all on video. But they do the whole poll. You know how, like, zoo people do the pole with the rope on it? Man, that bird wants nothing to do with that pole. You don't know yet, bird, they're trying to save your life.

[Amy]

Reminds me of this video. I saw this guy rescuing a deer on ice, and I feared for the guy's life the entire time because the ice could break.

[Bobby Bones]

And the deer.

[Amy]

The deer, like the. It's like.

[Morgan]

It's.

[Amy]

It's like when I wish we could communicate to the animals. Like, no, we're here to help you because the deer was freaking out, but it's like, I'm here to help you.

[Bobby Bones]

You know my theory. The government has the ability to communicate with animals, and they know what animals are thinking. They just haven't shared that technology with us yet.

[Eddie]

Well, they could have used it with this bald eagle.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that police had it. I think it's pretty secret.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. That's what it's all about.

[Eddie]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. Fun fact Friday, Jada Pinkett Smith met Will Smith when she was auditioning to play his girlfriend on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. She did not get the part, but then they got married.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Usually you give somebody the part so you can.

[Amy]

Yeah, I guess it was out of his control.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think anything was out of his control.

[Eddie]

Oh, that was his show?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, did you not watch it?

[Bobby Bones]

Even replace the moms? Yeah.

[Eddie]

I've never seen that documentary. Is it good?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I just know from the show. Is there a documentary or a re. Like, everybody gets back together.

[Lunchbox]

I guess maybe they get back together. I consider that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good.

[Eddie]

Wow. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The first mom he kind of a huge fight with kicked her off, brought in a new mom.

[Eddie]

The first Vivian. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what you got?

[Amy]

The reason many doorknobs are made of brass is because of something known as the oligo dynamic effect. And it disinfects itself.

[Eddie]

Brass does?

[Amy]

Yeah. Brass objects can self disinfect, proving especially useful on frequently touched surfaces like doorknobs. My front doorknobs.

[Jo Interestine]

Brass.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

Like the metal actually does that.

[Amy]

The brass.

[Eddie]

That's pretty crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Next.

[Bobby Bones]

What's next? Self cleaning oven? Give me a break.

[Amy]

Well, brass has been.

[Eddie]

Is brass natural like. Or is it like.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, I have no knowledge in the brass world.

[Eddie]

I know I ask you like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like I feel like I'm pretty knowledgeable about some things. I got nothing there.

[Amy]

Yeah, I would think it's.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's a.

[Amy]

Not a natural element. It's a man made alloy.

[Eddie]

Well, there you go.

[Amy]

There you go. Made of copper.

[Lunchbox]

And sink.

[Amy]

Well, now I know I don't ever really need to wipe it down.

[Bobby Bones]

I still would though.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I would.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I still would. The most lopsided game in College football history. 1916. Georgia Tech won 222. 0 over a school from Tennessee called Cumberland College.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Crazy. They didn't call it at 100 nothing.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Lunchbox]

If you own a pair of Nikes, you know what I mean, you get a hole in them, they get damaged, you just throw them away. Go buy a new pair of shoes. Not so fast, my friends. Nike has a two year warranty on their shoes if you take them back to the store. New Nikes any.

[Amy]

It doesn't matter the store.

[Lunchbox]

The one you bought it from.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, do you promise?

[Amy]

I know, but does it like there's Nike stores but like say you bought it at a department store can.

[Lunchbox]

If you bought Nikes the two years, you take it back and they give you a new pair of shoes.

[Eddie]

If it has a hole in it or can it just.

[Amy]

Yeah, because I have a pair of Nikes that got a hole in the front.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a two year warranty on footwear and apparel from the data manufacturer for defects in materials or workmanship such as sole separation or air unit failures.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So if you got a hole. Amy.

[Amy]

I do and I haven't.

[Bobby Bones]

What does not cover general wear and tear misuse or damage for improper cleaning?

[Amy]

Oh, mine might be considered general.

[Bobby Bones]

It's only if there's defects in the workmanship, faulty stitching, peeling or detective air units. Oh, you can go to the Nike website or Nike authorized store. You cannot go back to wherever you got it.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Thanks for clarifying.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not so that's cool though. Not to rain on your fact, but

[Lunchbox]

it's cool to know and I've read it online.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so confused about that brass thing too, but thank You. That's crazy. If so, this cleans itself. That's crazy, Morgan.

[Amy]

So, President Jimmy Carter once left the biscuit, AKA nuclear codes in his jacket, which he then sent to the cleaners.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

The code for the nuclear. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, you gotta have that box they call the football. But if you get the football, you got the coach. Blow up the world. I mean, that's what's going to blow up the world, right? One person shooting a nuke, somebody matching it. The next thing you know, you're just nuking everybody and everybody's dead. But, hey, how about that story? How about that fun fact? Yeah. Popeye's Chicken is named after Gene Hackman's character, Jimmy Popeye Doyle in the French Connection. Not after the cartoon Popeye.

[Amy]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy]

I haven't thought about it.

[Eddie]

And Popeyes. Maybe because it's like New Orleans French Connection.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude. That brass thing still got my head spinning. I ain't spending much time thinking about mine, even. All right, what do you have? Yeah.

[Eddie]

So this is kind of sad, but the average American will eat 35, 000 cookies in their lifetime. And the reason I say it's sad is that when I first read it, I thought it was, like, just people, but now it's just Americans.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm gonna break this down with a calculator.

[Amy]

So, guys, I am ripping through my Thin mints.

[Eddie]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Those are crazy.

[Amy]

I thought I was gonna have extra boxes.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the number?

[Eddie]

35,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so let's say there's 35, 000 cookies in a lifetime. Let's say divided by 78 years. Okay?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so that's 448 a year. So let's just divide that by a month. That's 37amonth. Let's divide that by four a week. It's nine a week.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. I bring. I bring that average up, that's a

[Bobby Bones]

little over a cookie a day.

[Amy]

That's.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, for a lifetime.

[Eddie]

But, like, when you haven't eaten cookies in a while, like, how many do you eat?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if. Ate 365 cookies a year.

[Amy]

No, I do not.

[Eddie]

No.

[Lunchbox]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you lift all of us up?

[Morgan]

I think I do.

[Bobby Bones]

You got a problem?

[Eddie]

I had five cookies last night, so that'll tell you that.

[Bobby Bones]

Fun fact Friday, Bones. All right, let's check some voicemails.

[Eddie]

Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a teacher in Minnesota, and we happen to have a snow day, so I record the prices, Right. I haven't been able to watch, so I wanted to go see when Lunchbox was on, and I don't remember what the date it was going to be aired. So if you could let me know what date it was going to be aired so I can go back and find it, that'd be awesome. Thanks so much. I wonder, does she think he's going to be on the show? Lunchbox, what do you think about this call?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it has not happened yet, so you don't need to go back. It's still coming. March 31st and April 2nd are my two episodes.

[Amy]

He's just going to be in the crowd, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Not just in the crowd. Like, I mean, you don't know how many times they're going to show me in the crowd. And I may be the star of the crowd.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I say something? What if this would be the greatest gotcha ever if he got on the show and he didn't tell us, and this is all a bit leading up to that?

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you don't think there's a chance at all?

[Eddie]

You don't think he wouldn't yell at the top of the. The mountain, be like, guys, I'm on.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's the greatest payoff if he's able to pull this off. I do. I'm now starting to think that he might have gotten on the show and he's leading us to these dates to watch him on the show because otherwise I think he'd be embarrassed that he didn't get on the show and they're not going to show him. And then we're going to watch it and go like we never saw you, and then make fun of him.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, they're going to show me you. I don't think you understand. The camera goes right in front of your face, like in the crowd. Like, it is on a big little arm, and it. It pans the crowd back and forth. So there's no chance I'm not on the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you like us to watch the episode on the 31st?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You're not addressing. You're not addressing what Bobby's saying. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Well, what do you want me to say?

[Eddie]

Are you really on the show?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Did you make it on the show?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

I don't know now.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Amy]

I mean, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

It would be the greatest. The great. I love a bit this. He had pulled one right over our eyes. He wants us to watch it. That's the only thing that makes me think there's a chance. I put the chance at 20%, one in five that he actually got on the show. And this has been a long bit with a massive payoff. Amy. Percentage.

[Amy]

I'll go. I mean, it's not impossible. So I'll give it 10%, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I'm gonna go same 10%. Not impossible.

[Bobby Bones]

So there is a chance after the

[Eddie]

way watching him react to what you're saying.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't even react, Eddie. I just sat here.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the point.

[Eddie]

I know you were good at it.

[Bobby Bones]

I will say this. The respect will go through the roof if he's able to pull this off and keep the secret and pull off one of the greatest bits of Bodybone show history if he gets on the

[Eddie]

show now, do you think he just got on or do you think he won it?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. It doesn't matter if he even gets down to the row. Like, he got us.

[Amy]

So he's a contestant.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because now I think back, like, how would they not put him on? His energy. It's a lot of energy. It's just magnetic.

[Lunchbox]

No, I felt like it was magnetic, too. That's why I was so frustrated that they didn't put me on. Like, I didn't understand. That's why the second day I went back, I tried to be calm because I was like, maybe I was too energetic. I don't understand it. I wish I could talk to a producer. Like, if we could have a producer tell us exactly what they look for. Is it like, one day they look for energy, the next day they don't? I don't know. I wish I knew.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a. That's a reason why I think he got on.

[Lunchbox]

All right, he went.

[Bobby Bones]

He went too hard at that.

[Eddie]

That explanation, trying to get a producer on.

[Bobby Bones]

How do we even know he did the second day?

[Amy]

Because the second day was Couples day.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. I mean, the second day that he. Yeah, he had three days, he didn't get on. He didn't get to go in. But how do we even know that he went for couples dates? That whole story wasn't made up because he could have pulled off the greatest con in the history of the Bobby Bone Show.

[Eddie]

Guys, what's your percentage?

[Bobby Bones]

21 and 5. 15 after he has the ability to pull off a good prank.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

I agree. I posted from the Price is Right every day, guys.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's what someone would do.

[Jo Interestine]

Yeah.

[Amy]

About what you're posting.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow. I wonder if he got on March 31 and April 2.

[Eddie]

We have to watch now in the

[Bobby Bones]

irony of April 2 being my birthday. And if he got on for my birthday and pulled off the greatest bit prank in the history of the show,

[Eddie]

how awesome a birthday gift would that.

[Bobby Bones]

What a gift that would be. Mike, what do you think? Any chance he got on? I say 1%. I don't think he's that good of an actor because he was so dejected when he came here. Like, you don't think he's a good actor? He couldn't pull that off. And he. He couldn't hold in that excitement. Lunchbox your thoughts to him saying you're not a good actor.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, you've seen me act and I'm pretty convincing. I'm really good at it. So I don't know. I don't know that Mike really knows good acting.

[Bobby Bones]

Have we seen you act and what

[Lunchbox]

on the show that out of hell.

[Eddie]

We weren't there.

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't go to that show. And they took your lines from Friday Night Lights. They took your line from you.

[Eddie]

We saw that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we don't know if he's on. I'm starting to think that he has pulled off the greatest bit in Bobby Bone show history. And that March 31 or April 2, we will see him as a contestant on the show. Thank you for the call. Leave us a voicemail anytime. 877-77-Bobby, it's time for the good news with Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Tell me something good.

[Amy]

So Rita Conley is in a wheelchair. She has spina bifida. And her increasing muscle weakness has kept her unable to travel in a car safely. Like they had a van, but she would have to just sit in it, not equipped properly. Well, guess what? She was given a wheelchair accessible Chrysler Pacifica, where her wheelchair clicks right into the driver's seat. It stays in place and she can drive now. She's safe. So shout out to all things possible Mobility, because that's a nonprofit that gifted her the car she can drive.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's cool. They have a wheelchair.

[Amy]

Yeah. She says it's not like she has to get out of it. Yeah, it just like loads up and then locks in place.

[Eddie]

That's a minivan, right?

[Amy]

The Pacifica.

[Eddie]

It's nice.

[Bobby Bones]

You like that?

[Eddie]

Yeah, those are nice, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not familiar with the minivans yet. I'm not there in my life yet.

[Eddie]

I'm not minivan guy. Like, I'll probably never be. But, man, when you get in one of those like this, it's just perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a friend who does my NFL show with me. His name is Matt Castle. And he has five kids, and he drives a touring, like, an artist van thingy.

[Eddie]

A big van?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Mini bus. Yes, that's what he drives. He's got five kids of all ages, and sometimes he'll drive it over to the house. It. It's a monster.

[Eddie]

I've seen him pull up to, like, games, and they all just come out of the car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's wild. Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning.

[Amy]

His wigs.

[Bobby Bones]

Next bit, and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what? This is.

[Lunchbox]

Now.

[Bobby Bones]

Time for the morning corny.

[Lunchbox]

The morning corny.

[Amy]

Why did the horse run away in the middle of its wedding?

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Did the horse run away in the middle of its wedding?

[Amy]

It got cold feet.

[Eddie]

Oh, Colt.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, cold.

[Morgan]

That was the morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't hear the tuck.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's got a challenge for us. Write a horror story using only three words. So we're supposed to come up with three words, and it's, like, the worst. Yeah, three words.

[Amy]

I know mine.

[Bobby Bones]

That could be said to you.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. What would yours be? Give us an idea so we can get into this.

[Amy]

You have cancer.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that one's terrible.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it can't be that one. Okay, you have aids.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I was gonna go with next, but that's.

[Bobby Bones]

You are dying straightforward man.

[Eddie]

That's not good.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I think it can't be dead on the nose, of course. That's a terrible.

[Amy]

If you ask me, that's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

I' ma shoot you. All those suck. I'm gonna shoot you. No, no, it has to be.

[Amy]

Okay, you tell me. What's your horror story? Okay, you tell me.

[Bobby Bones]

My three. Yours went so hard.

[Lunchbox]

That was so awful.

[Amy]

Okay, okay. I'm trying to think.

[Eddie]

Because I was thinking, like, you are dead.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you wouldn't know.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you can't be told that.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're dead, I'm gonna shoot you.

[Eddie]

I like that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so mine would be. If I were to have to say it, oops, I'm late. That's my horror story. That's like, personal horror story.

[Eddie]

Personal?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

You're the one that did this.

[Amy]

Okay, what about this, guys? You probably, like, say you're not married and you don't want kids. You don't want to hear, you're the father.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

Well, not.

[Bobby Bones]

Not you're the father, but you're doing yours.

[Eddie]

Oh, I got one. I got one. Then along that. I'm pregnant again.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, that could be yours.

[Bobby Bones]

That could be yours.

[Lunchbox]

That could be yours.

[Amy]

I got one for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, okay, let's everybody take a breath because we got off on a bad note here. Amy was going as hard as possible. Okay, ready? Okay, ready? Amy, go.

[Amy]

I don't want to hear life without parole.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not a you personal. This is your bed, and you don't even understand it.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

Yes, I do. That would be terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

But so are the hardcore ones that you've done. Okay, how about this one? Amy, drink this poison. Yeah, that one sucks.

[Lunchbox]

That's not a real.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. Anybody would hate to hear that. Like, you specifically.

[Eddie]

Okay, Okay, I got another one. Okay, no more beer.

[Lunchbox]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay, here's one. The dog's out for me. That'd be a bad one. Like, outside of the gate. Oh, my God, I'd freak out.

[Amy]

Oh, okay, now I have one.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

I'm ready whenever you're done.

[Amy]

He left you. Oh, come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. You're getting closer, though.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got here. Lottery is canceled.

[Bobby Bones]

Good one for you.

[Eddie]

Nailed it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, brutal.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, another would be Arkansas Lost again.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Come on. I mean, it's your bit.

[Amy]

Y' all are gonna say, this doesn't work for me, but I don't want to hear it.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

Like, you've been evicted.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys.

[Eddie]

Are you worried about that?

[Lunchbox]

That's never gonna happen.

[Eddie]

That is not a good thing to hear.

[Amy]

Yeah. Or like, that would be bad. I don't want to hear that.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody does. These are supposed to be specific to us.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. We have to amputate your leg. I mean, what?

[Eddie]

That's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot of words.

[Lunchbox]

But, I mean, I'm just saying, like, Amy, it's like we're not doing it realistically, so why don't we just do a lot of words?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. Okay.

[Amy]

I'm trying to figure out how to say menopause. All dried up.

[Bobby Bones]

That's four words.

[Amy]

All dried up.

[Bobby Bones]

That feels gross.

[Eddie]

What is happening?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna be honest with you. That feels gross, and I don't.

[Lunchbox]

And I want to throw up.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, there's this.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not.

[Amy]

Okay. What would you all pick my horror story to be?

[Eddie]

Oh, you want to pick Amy's?

[Bobby Bones]

Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Okay. Therapy is canceled.

[Lunchbox]

There you go.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's specific to you. Yeah, right? I could have done better, but that was off the dome.

[Amy]

Your therapist died.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

That would be bad. I would not like that. Because I don't want to start over with another one.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you, Eddie. Do for her.

[Eddie]

Your boyfriend's gone.

[Bobby Bones]

Or died if you want to go home.

[Lunchbox]

Your boyfriend.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh. Your boyfriend died.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, of cancer and poison.

[Eddie]

That'd be so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

How about one like, he left? How about this? Got scammed again.

[Amy]

Okay, that's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

Got scammed again.

[Lunchbox]

Not again.

[Amy]

Yes. A scam.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you've already got. Okay, guys, nobody's ever, like, had a segment I did and been the worst at it. Lunchbox for her, man.

[Lunchbox]

I was trying to do something with her vocal cords. Like, vocal cords gone. That way she can't talk. But I don't know how to sum that up.

[Amy]

If I lost my boy.

[Lunchbox]

She lost your voice, you'd be that.

[Amy]

I would be devastated.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

And I don't know how many words is add? That's three gen. Deficit.

[Bobby Bones]

Or is it. No, I'm saying deficit.

[Amy]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

But ADD is that.

[Morgan]

Then do one.

[Amy]

We can come out as one.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you choke on your own words?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God.

[Amy]

What would you say?

[Bobby Bones]

I was just, you know, spitballing some stuff.

[Amy]

You are. I already. No, I have it. So you can say you have add.

[Eddie]

Great. Because you already have it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, man. Well, everybody, good job.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Thanks, Andy.

[Amy]

Well, this is a fun. Like, you know how sometimes you're looking for, like, dinner games around the table? Like, hi, low. How was your day?

[Bobby Bones]

You started the game with. You have cancer.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, that would be on my. That's my nightmare. Both my parents had it. Like, that's what I think about. That's a. I don't want to hear those three words. Or, like, time for hospice.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

Yeah, no one wants to hear that, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God.

[Amy]

Until I knew.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, nuclear bomb incoming. She's just going as hard as she possibly can. Okay, that's fun. Dinner game, everybody. Take that home with you. Bobby Bone show Bonehead. Story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Colorado. A man said he got hurt at work, can't go to work, got back problems. Ah, guys, I need disability. So he's getting disability, and then he has a burner Instagram account. And what's he posting up there? Videos of him snowboarding down the slopes.

[Bobby Bones]

How'd they find the burner?

[Lunchbox]

The private investigator went and looked at his Instagram and just started checking on people he followed to see if they Pictured, posted pictures of him doing anything. Found this, then went and followed him to the slopes.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So someone had probably posted a story of him doing his other account.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Amy]

Is it called Burner or is it called like Friendsta?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so that would probably be more of a Friendsta.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

A burner is a secret account that nobody knows about. Just so you control people. Yeah. If you're posting stuff that only your friends can see that isn't public. That's more of a.

[Amy]

So they caught his friends.

[Bobby Bones]

They caught his friends.

[Eddie]

I never heard of that.

[Amy]

That's cool.

[Lunchbox]

I've never heard of friends say either by Eddie.

[Amy]

I was like, Eddie's kids probably have some friends. Does.

[Eddie]

Oh, great. And I don't know about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's the point of it. They can still show their friends, but not everybody knows about it. A burner. Nobody knows it's fake name. And you're only doing it not to post stuff about you, but to just screw with other people in the comments. So we got the point though.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And anyway, he's done. He's going to jail or what?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he's gonna be charged with fraud.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Voicemail.

[Jo Interestine]

Good morning, studio. I have a question. I want to know why Bobby can be Quiz bowl champion, but he can't remember a few friends birthdays that he worked with for 20 years. Awesome.

[Eddie]

Thanks.

[Lunchbox]

Have a good one.

[Eddie]

Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys rock. Thank you. Great question. Priorities.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's easy.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Eddie]

Yeah, priorities.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like I care to know every state and capital.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

My calendar reminds me.

[Amy]

What are you.

[Bobby Bones]

What calendar reminds me of you guys? Birthdays.

[Eddie]

It's obviously not a priority to him to learn our birthdays, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

I barely know mine.

[Amy]

Yes, you know yours. You know your birthday. You've never not known your birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

Point is, I don't care that much about birthdays, our birthdays, or even my own. So I don't really think about when birthdays are. But yeah, no, I. If I really set my mind to it, I think I could.

[Eddie]

Now, if it was part of a game, you'd probably learn it, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, for sure.

[Eddie]

If it was in a study guide for a Quiz bowl game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like if you said there's money attached to it, I could go, Amy, March 18th.

[Amy]

Oh, okay, now you know it.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And mine is the 20 something.

[Eddie]

Ah, come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there money on it?

[Eddie]

Oh, there's money. Lots of money attached.

[Amy]

Oh, you can do it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, man. Okay, March 20th.

[Eddie]

He's got it first.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

See? He knows it.

[Bobby Bones]

What if it's all been gag and the whole thing is I've known all your birthdays the whole time, but I want to be known as the guy who doesn't remember birthdays.

[Eddie]

It wouldn't surprise me.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be a terrible bit, but whatever. We'll see you guys. We're going on a cruise, so. We're already going. You guys ready to go on a cruise? We're going on the.

[Lunchbox]

The.

[Bobby Bones]

The cruise with the show and the artists and we'll do another one next year, but we're going on the cruise, so we will see you guys on Monday. Some of us will be in studio, some won't, but everybody should be here one way or the other. I will see you guys Monday. All right, bye, everybody.
