I love college football. I love making music. I love podcasts. I love this podcast. I don't love dealing with asthma, especially when it's tough to control. So if you're reaching for your rescue inhaler more than twice a week, maybe it's time to ask your doctor if Dupixent may be right for you.

Dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. Dupixent can help you breathe better starting in as little as two weeks. Yeah, as little as two weeks. Severe allergic reactions can occur. Get help right away for face, mouth, tongue or throat swelling, wheezing or trouble breathing. Tell your doctor right away of signs of inflamed blood vessels like rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, brown or dark colored urine, tingling or numbness in your limbs. Tell your doctor of new or worsening skin symptoms, joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. Don't change or stop other treatments without talking to your doctor.

Bobby Bones
I'd really like to be a fish.
Lunchbox
But didn't you guys, like, take classes? Did you take voice classes?
Morgan
I took voice classes back in the day, and I used to have a squirrel and, you know, Squeaky the squirrel.
Lunchbox
But you had characters.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Moba Squeaky.
Morgan
He was a squirrel.
Lunchbox
No. Like, what? What do you sound like?
Amy
Yeah, there's a squeaky squirrel, man.
Eddie
Let's go out for a run.
Amy
Let's get some nuts. Okay. That sounds like him.
Lunchbox
Yeah, just.
Bobby Bones
Just squeakier.
Morgan
That's why he's called Squeaky the Squirrel.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Lunchbox
I feel like I could do a squeaky. Then do it. Hey, I'm Lunchbox doing Squeaky the Squirrel.
Morgan
But you can't just take my character, though.
Bobby Bones
Why are you bringing this up? I feel like. Are you about to tell us the. No, no, no. I feel like maybe he booked a gig as a voice.
Amy
You got a voice job?
Lunchbox
Nah.
Bobby Bones
Okay, what is it?
Lunchbox
Smurfs is coming out as a movie. That's all.
Amy
Oh, that's cool.
Lunchbox
And how cool it would be. Yeah, Rihanna's one of the voices. She's Smurfette. So Smurfs is a fun, action packed adventure with new music from Rihanna.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's cool.
Amy
I could be a Smurf.
Lunchbox
Everybody thinks that they can voice a cartoon. I've never met anyone who thinks they're bad at dodgeball or bad at voicing a cartoon.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm bad at Dodgeball.
Lunchbox
Yeah. You're one of the few little. Admit that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, I'm just letting.
Morgan
Are you just trying to prove him wrong right now?
Bobby Bones
No, I'm just admitting that I'm bad at that. I have no idea, actually, how I would do as a animated voice actor.
Lunchbox
The Smurfs have something for everybody in the whole family. Full of comedy, heart, and new music. Smurfs From Paramount Pictures. You want a few questions for easy trivia, which we're gonna do next. What's the shape of the houses that Smurfs live in?
Bobby Bones
A shoe.
Lunchbox

Morgan
Oh, my goodness.
Lunchbox
Did you not watch Smurfs as a kid?
Morgan
Have you ever seen Smurfs?
Bobby Bones
Guys, who lives in a shoe? Somebody does.
Amy
Not the Smurfs.
Bobby Bones
But isn't that the Keebler elves?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think they live in a tree, maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was the same.
Bobby Bones

That's a good one.
Lunchbox
I know, but why are you so. Why that one?
Amy
No.
Morgan
I've been looking for a time to take him to a movie, and I feel like Smurfs is perfect. They watch it on TV. So.
Lunchbox
Smurfect.
Morgan
I feel like my 3 year old is old enough now to go to a movie theater, like where he was too young before. So now all three can go to the movie theater and go watch Smurfs. It's gonna be great.
Lunchbox
Smurfs from Paramount P. In theaters now, Bones. Now easy trivia. Amy, you're the champion. The category is cold things. What frozen treat do kids love in the summer that comes on a stick?

Amy
That's the air conditioner.
Lunchbox
Correct. Now Eddie's up 2 to 1 on Amy. This season of Easy Trivia. Although Amy's the champion, she's wearing the TR right now. Amy, the category is it rhymes with time. What's the term for what you do when you go up a wall or a mountain climb? Correct. Rhymes with time. Abby, what's a citrus fruit often used in drinks and generally smaller than a lemon?
Bobby Bones
Lime.
Lunchbox
Correct. Morgan, what do you call it when someone breaks the law and has to do time?
Abby
What is it rhyme with what are we rhyming time or lime or climb?
Lunchbox
I'm. What do you call it when someone breaks the law and they have to do time? For what?
Abby
For I'm trying to rhyme it now.
Bobby Bones
It's hurting my brain.
Lunchbox
Do you guys know it any? Okay.
Amy
And it doesn't flu.
Lunchbox
Abby, you know what?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Abby
When you. When you steal something and you have to do time and it rhymes with time.
Lunchbox
Amy, are you shock?
Abby
My head is not understand.
Bobby Bones
Cuz sometimes our brains just like it's so simple and then we can't think of it.
Abby
You get arrested, you go to jail. You do. But none of those rhyme with time. Like you break the law. 5 seconds rhymes for time. If you get arrested, you go and you do time.
Lunchbox
What's it.
Abby
What's the question again?
Lunchbox
Three seconds.
Abby
You go.
Eddie
I don't know.

Lunchbox
Guess that looks like a dog.
Amy

Lunchbox
What Layered haircut? What's the name of the layered haircut that Jennifer Aniston made famous in the 90s? Oh, my gosh.
Amy
Is that a Bob? I don't know, dude. The layered haircut. I could have gotten mohawk.
Lunchbox
You could have, but literally the questions aren't written in that order.
Amy
I. I really can't think of anything other than fade, layered haircut or bob. Let's just go with Bob.
Lunchbox
Amy, do you know it? What's the name of it? He missed it. What would you have guessed? Because you're over there looking like, ah, you know it.

Bobby Bones
Well, no, I'm happy for Abby.
Lunchbox
Are you happier for Abby? Are you happy that Eddie lost?
Bobby Bones
I'm happier for Abby because. Also because Eddie did his little, like, slam towards her right. When it was only them, but that's.
Amy
Towards her, not you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I feel that for her.
Lunchbox
I think you just want to win the championship, and I don't. I don't hate you for that.
Bobby Bones
Abby could win it.
Amy

Morgan
Oh, yeah, she loves it.
Bobby Bones
I'm fine. Whatever, you know.
Lunchbox
All right, Abby is the winner. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Lunchbox
Hello, Bobby Bones. There are five kids in my family. One of them has made the life choice to be a delinquent. At a certain point, my siblings and I were asked to step up for your brother and bail him out of whatever trouble he gotten himself into. About three years ago, it was my turn to fork over $800 to get him out of jail, and that was after no small amount of guilting from our mom. Now he's locked up again, and it's apparently my turn to take the enabling train. But I'm not doing it. I've explained to my mom and my siblings that I'm done paying for his mistakes. How can I make the family fully understand that I'm not the bad one in this situation? Sign. Brother of a jailbird. Amy, you want to go?
Bobby Bones
Oh, I was just going to say you. You can't make them, so you're just going to have to stick with it for yourself. I think you're. You're doing the right thing. At least what you believe to be true and what you need to do, but you can't convince them otherwise if they're enablers.
Lunchbox
Also, right thing aside, it's a lot of money.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And you may not have that money, and they're putting you in a place to spend money you don't have on something you didn't do.
Bobby Bones
But it's his turn.
Lunchbox
It's nobody's turn.
Bobby Bones
Just kidding.
Lunchbox
It's nobody's turn.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Lunchbox
I took this. That she was a girl. You thought. You thought it was a guy. I don't know. There was a sex attached to it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay. Oh, I guess it's the. The. The brother is the one in jail.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I mean, that's a tough place to be because it's family. And family dynamics get messy, but sometimes we have to detach with love.
Lunchbox
I got at least two relatives in jail right now, and that's all.
Bobby Bones
He thought about. Your turn.
Lunchbox
Can't really bail out penitentiary. You know what I mean?
Bobby Bones
And I. Detaching with love. That's one of the hardest things to do, but it's probably one of the kindest things you could do at this moment.
Lunchbox
Also, they're asking you to spend money that you made. I keep going back to the money part. It's not fair. Aside from it being your brother, you don't have to spend money on something you didn't do. So if you don't want to do it, don't do it. And it may create a little drama, a little friction within the family, but that should be collateral damage for a greater cause.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Lunchbox
Of you not spending that money. That's so. That's so unfair. Also, tell your brother, shape up and.
Bobby Bones
Well, this might help.
Lunchbox
Somebody else is going to pay for it. Mom's going to come back to.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
I can tell you right now, good luck with that. That's going to be drama for a while, but you will get through it. And maybe your brother does something real bad and just get locked away forever. Again, you can't bail somebody out of penitentiary.
Amy
Oh, they can just get parole I guess, right?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Oh just the local jail.
Lunchbox
Yeah when you get arrested you can't get bailed out.
Bobby Bones
Well I guess they're not bail but.
Lunchbox
Well you can't get bailed in prison out on because you're found guilty.
Amy
Yeah like parole like if you're good behavior and stuff.
Bobby Bones
Sorry not I haven't brushed up on my penitentiary.
Lunchbox
All right, thank you for the email. Close it up Bones.

And in 2011, Doug Pitt became the first American to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and to descend by mountain bike from Mount Kilimanjaro.
Amy
Well, that's cool.
Lunchbox
Brad Pitt's brother is very accomplished, but not famous.
Amy
Is he good looking?
Bobby Bones
I just googled.
Lunchbox
Can't be if you're Doug, right? And even if you're close, let's say you're 778 of what Brad Pitt is, you just ditch it all together and just get ugly because you'll never compare.
Bobby Bones
They look similar.
Lunchbox
Amy flipped her screen. I'm the blindest guy in the whole state. Okay, he looks like.
Bobby Bones
Like a nerdier.
Lunchbox
Shorter, nerdier version. Wow. It looks like AI Brad Pitt.
Amy
Really?
Lunchbox
Plus £25.
Amy
Oh, poor guy.
Lunchbox
Like he's slightly softer than Brad Pitt, but good for Doug Pitt doing his own thing. All right, Amy, what do you have over there?
Bobby Bones
A dog's heart rate increases by 46% when their owner Says I love you.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Yes, it does.
Amy
No chance.
Bobby Bones
No. This is a. This was a fascinating study done in 2020 by Canine Cottages.
Lunchbox
They don't know English well.
Bobby Bones
When they. When owners said I love you and they heard the I love you, no chance their heart rate jumped 46%.
Lunchbox
I would say this is just me being speculative that a dog would jump if you said I love you a lot. And it was followed with some other action. Made the dog a Pavlovian. Like, there's something that happens when you say I love you. Hug the dog, you give the dog a treat. That's probably. You could probably go, but. But. But.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And as long as you did something like hug the dog or give it a treat.
Bobby Bones
Well, the study also showed when you cuddle a dog, their heart rate decreases by 23%. So you're comforting them.
Lunchbox
Well, that I could get. Because it's touch.
Bobby Bones
But you don't claim a dog associate. I love you.
Morgan
No.
Lunchbox
Those dogs that say I love you back, though, those are pretty cool. I'm not hating on your fact. I just think that's a bit of an unfair fact. That's a whole different segment. Unfair fact. Friday. Yes, Eddie.
Amy
James Cameron, you know, he's the director. He did Avatar, Titanic, really well known. But when he wasn't well known, he was just starting out, he wrote the Terminator, and he tried to sell the Terminator and he wanted to direct it. And the movie company is like, we don't know. You do. We don't know how good you are. So he said, tell you what, I will sell you my script for $1 if you let me direct the movie.
Lunchbox
They're like, deal.
Amy
And that's how he started. And he said recently in an interview that he regrets doing that. But, like, dude, you made so much money, you're good. And that's how you got your foot in the door. I think it's awesome.
Lunchbox
I think it's the foot in the door more than the money part of it.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
He was allowed to make the rest of the money because he's able to prove he could do it. So. Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's.
Amy
But then Terminator went on to make $78.4 million.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Lunchbox
But his success at T1, T2, T19, all those are what allowed him to do Avatar. What allowed him to do Titanic. Yeah, I mean, he's one of those guys that gets in the boat and goes down. Like, he's one of those fascinated with underwater. He has a submarine, like one of the eight submarines. That can go to a certain depth.
Morgan
Lunchbox, you know, beehive. There's a lot of bees in there.
Lunchbox
But when they got a week in a row of bees.
Amy
Interesting.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
What's your fascination with bees?
Morgan
Recently, my kids are terrified of them, and so I'm trying to figure out how to get them not to be scared of bees.
Lunchbox
Got it. You talking about the dance last week?
Morgan
I told them about the waggle dance, but they didn't care.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Morgan
So when they got to go to the bathroom, the only one that is allowed to defecate inside the hive is the queen bee. Everybody else go outside.
Amy
It's not fair.
Lunchbox
That's the queen. It's like on a tour bus, only the artist gets to go.
Bobby Bones
They defecate.
Lunchbox
They have to get rid of the.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Somehow every animal.
Bobby Bones
Does. Every animal. I don't know that that's true.
Lunchbox
You have to get rid of the waste some way.
Morgan
Yes. Every animal has to get rid of the bad stuff.
Bobby Bones
I understand.
Lunchbox
If they eat solid, they have to.
Bobby Bones
Get rid of it, but do they have little tiny B holes?
Amy
Yes, sure.
Lunchbox
Amy jumped right over that little joke.
Amy
Good. Dude.
Bobby Bones
No, I just. It just. I just got it.
Lunchbox
Zebras don't have black and white stripes. They're black, and they're covered in white stripes.
Amy
Wait, this. Isn't this the longest, like, debate ever? Are they black with white stripes or are they white? Wait, no, that's a polar bear.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's a polar bear. You're right. You're right.
Lunchbox
Zebras don't have black and white stripes. They're black. They're covered in white stripes. Wow. The scientific consensus is that zebras are black horses covered in white stripes.
Amy
So if you shaved all their hair.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Amy
Like, they would just be a black horse.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Because when they're born, they're mostly dark. Yeah. Kind of grayish black, but. Yeah. Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Abby
So lactose intolerance is a normal gene. Being able to drink milk is a mutation.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It sucks. My life's 18 worse.
Bobby Bones
Well, you're not.
Abby
And the rest of us are mutated.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It's possibly allergic to be allergic to other people. I read that you can literally be allergic to other people. I think I'm allergic to anybody that says. Well, that wasn't on my bingo card. I hate that saying. I'm allergic to people that say that.
Amy
I haven't heard that.
Lunchbox
I'd like to claim that. Well, that wasn't my bingo card for today.
Bobby Bones
I've never used that.
Lunchbox
No, that's the stupidest one.
Bobby Bones
It's not. No.
Lunchbox
If you say that I'm allergic to you, I'm just declaring that. That and milk.
Bobby Bones
I think it's cute when people didn't.
Lunchbox
Have that on my bingo card today.
Amy
Chuck, I've never heard that, but if I did, I might punch him in the face.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah. Good.
Bobby Bones
Guys, it's not that bad.
Lunchbox
Yeah, No, I hate that one. Yeah. Anybody else? Did I not get anybody last week? I skipped Eddie. Everybody give their fact.
Bobby Bones
Well, I do have an update on animals secreting or excreting waste. And not all of them do it through means of poop in a traditional sense. Some of them just vomit it. Eliminate it from their body somehow. Like sweat it out like sponges and jellyfish don't have a dedicated anus, but.
Lunchbox
They also don't eat food like the animals you're thinking of.
Bobby Bones
But overall, they do have to, like you say, eliminate.
Lunchbox
I also, at times, don't have a dedicated anus. I'll be honest with you. Like I said, I've been allergic to milk. I didn't know I was allergic to dairy.
J
Fun fact Friday.
Lunchbox
It's time for the good news with Bobby. For this one, I want to bring on Johnny in Louisiana. Hey, Johnny. What's up, buddy?
J
Hey, good morning. I just wanted to call in and hear Eddie always talking about how he would donate a kidney or something like that. I donated candy this past Wednesday on behalf of my wife. She had a 95 chance of not getting the kidney, and the person that. And she got hers on Thursday. The person that donated for her just donated out of kind of his heart, wasn't donating for anybody. And I just want to tell Eddie that that would be a wonderful thing to do for somebody.
Amy
That's amazing.
Lunchbox
First of all, before we get on Eddie, because Eddie's done this to himself, but before we get on Eddie. So, Johnny, your wife needed a kidney, so you donated to somebody else. Because I'm assuming your wife wasn't a match. And that moved your wife up on the list?
J
Yes, sir, it did. It's so if. If she didn't have anybody to donate for, she stays on that regional list by me donating on her behalf. It put her on a nationwide list. And so that moved her up and was able to find somebody because she only had a 5% chance of finding a kitty because of her antibodies.
Lunchbox
Wow. Can I see a question about you? What's your age?
J
I am 57 years old.
Lunchbox
Eddie has claimed that he's 45 or what?
Amy
No, I'm 46.
Lunchbox
That he can't do it because of his age.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I think that was flat.
Lunchbox
He's also.
Amy
No, that was bone marrow or something.
Bobby Bones
It was. It was for different.
Amy
I haven't done. I haven't gotten tested for kidney stuff.
Lunchbox
He's used that as kind of his universal blanket of why we don't address it. He's like, my health at my age. So all I'm saying is Johnny's 52. I believe he just said, it's inspiring.
Bobby Bones
No, Johnny. Johnny, do you work out?
J
No, I do not.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow. Eddie. Multiple times a week.
Lunchbox
And, Johnny, I'm so glad you called. First of all, congratulations to your wife.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And a great job by you for saving somebody else. And if you're listening to the show and you're like, why are they picking on Eddie? We're not. Eddie has unsolicited many times. I'm like, I want to donate a kidney. I want to donate bone marrow. I want to donate a leg. We don't even know he wants to donate everything, but he never does.
Bobby Bones
He sort of made it his identity.
Lunchbox
Yes. Every time a story would come up where somebody needs something I want to do, I'd sure like to donate a mustache. We're like, dude, just donate something.
Amy
Mustache. I mean, there's plenty of time. We got plenty of time left.
Lunchbox
No, you don't know that, though. That's the thing. You don't know how much time you have. Oh.
Amy
Like, I don't know when I'm gonna die.
Lunchbox
And you know how long when they're gonna die. Right.
Morgan
You can save a life.
Amy
Johnny, how you feeling, man? Like, you feel good?
J
I. I feel good. A little bit sore. It's a. It's a lot to go through, but it's worth it. It's worth it. So if you. I'm not picking on you, but if you feel that's something that you driven to do, then. Then, man, do it. I commend you. It's awesome. I would do it again if I could.
Lunchbox
Oh, don't do it again. No. Yeah. No.
Morgan
Whoa, whoa.
Lunchbox
Easy, easy. Johnny, thank you for calling, and I hope you are super happy and healthy for years to come. Same with your wife.
J
Thank you so much. All right, y' all have a wonderful day.
Lunchbox
You too.
Bobby Bones
I feel like Johnny sharing his story is going to inspire people.
Lunchbox
I think he should inspire Eddie, who's claimed for years he wants to do this.
Amy
I am people.
Bobby Bones
Let's be honest. Probably not going to be Eddie, but other people listening.
Amy
He's inspired me, for sure, to do What?
Lunchbox
Forget about it.
Amy
Take that information in and think about it.
Lunchbox
Just hold it.
Amy
Cuz you never know.
Lunchbox
Do you wish you would have never started the whole I want to donate something storyline, which you've been doing for.
Amy
Years to avoid you guys picking on me?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
But I think one day I'm going to do it anyway, so I'm glad. I'm glad I say that.
Lunchbox
But what about all the days you're not doing it that somebody might die?
Amy
Yeah, I mean.
Bobby Bones
I mean, is there a better time than now?
Amy
I don't know. Why don't you guys do it then?
Lunchbox
We're not the ones that are playing.
Amy
So you guys don't want to donate a kidney ever?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Maybe part of my liver.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah, I'm good right now.
Amy
Really? Yeah.
Lunchbox
I have a lot of physical complications with not having a spleen and have. I have issues. There are only certain parts of my body I can donate, but if they need one of those, I'm in.
Bobby Bones
I mean, obviously, if it's somebody we know, then it ch.
Lunchbox
Not Eddie, because I'm going to show and prove to him. If Eddie needed something, I'd be like, yeah, you held that over America's head.
Amy
For so long, man. If you guys need a kidney, like, 100%, we're doing it.
Lunchbox
Yes. So. But it doesn't matter. Thank you for the call.
Amy
If I'm a match, that's a.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good.
Amy
That is amazing.
Bobby Bones
Sure.
Lunchbox
And Eddie's a hypocrite a bit.
Amy
No, that's not a Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
That I'm a hypocrite?
Bobby Bones
Johnny's.
Lunchbox
Johnny's. Yeah. Making it about you. You're just a hypocrite in this.
Amy
Not making it about me. You're making it about me.
Bobby Bones
Johnny called about you, but you made.
Lunchbox
It about you 100 times saying you want to donate a kidney, but then you've been like, nah, maybe I don't.
Amy
I think it all started with, like, reading a story like this and being like, gosh, that'd be cool. I want to.
Lunchbox
No, not. That would be cool. He wants to. And so we encourage him to look it up. And then he wanted to donate bone marrow. And then he's like, and I was.
Amy
Too old for the bone marrow.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, then why don't you go.
Amy
Do a kidney test to see if I'm too old for a kidney test? All right, let me think about it, man.
Lunchbox
Okay. Think about it. All right. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me Something good, Bones. Here's your question. 11% of us have sustained an injury doing this activity which did not exist even a couple of decades ago. What is it? 11% of us have sustained an injury doing this activity, which, by the way, this activity did not exist a couple decades ago. What is it? Let's play. Never gonna get it.
Amy
No, you're not gonna get it.
Lunchbox
Not this time.
Amy
No, you're not gonna get it.
Lunchbox
All right, let's go to Russ, who's on the phone right now in Fresno, California. Russ, what's up, buddy? Hey, Bobby, what's up? Well, we're playing this game. I'm gonna read you the question. You take the first shot at it. According to a new study, 11% of us have sustained an injury doing this activity which did not exist even a couple decades ago. What's the activity? So, Russ, you'll go first, and if you don't get it, then you'll go to a member of the show. Let's go with about, I don't know, playing pickleball. That is a great guess.
Amy
Great.
Lunchbox
20 years ago, there was no pickleball. At least I didn't know about it, or I'd be really good at it by now. That is incorrect. So I'm gonna let you pick two people here on the show. Amy, how do you feel? Okay.
Bobby Bones
I feel good.
Lunchbox
Not great.
Bobby Bones
Not great. I never do on this, but oddly, I do get it right sometimes.
Amy
Eddie, you know, I had pickleball, too, but, oh, I had a good backup, and now I'm thinking that backup is the right answer.
Lunchbox
What percentage do you feel like you're right?
Amy
80.
Abby
Morgan, I feel pretty good about mine. I'm, like, sitting at 64.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox.
Morgan
I feel fantastic. I would say right around 100.
Lunchbox
All right, Russ, pick two people. Let's go with. I want to pick lunch, but let's. But what?
Amy
No, I get it.
Morgan
But what?
Lunchbox
Sorry. Lunch. Let's go with Amy and Eddie. Smart. Now, if Lunchbox gets it and they don't, will you be pretty upset at yourself? Russia. I'll be pretty upset. Bobby. Yeah. Feel that. He's very confident. It's hard to not fall for the confidence.
Bobby Bones
Amy, what do you have behind your smartphone?
Lunchbox
Eddie, what do you have?
Amy
Tick tock videos.
Lunchbox
Okay, you're both wrong. Oh, that was easy.
Bobby Bones
Very specific.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox, what do you have?
Morgan
Taking a selfie now, Russ.
Lunchbox
How do you feel about that?
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow. Lunchbox is good.
Lunchbox
That. See, that's pretty good.
Morgan
Lunch.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
You sound kind of defeated right now, Russ, but why are you making fun of him because he went with. I said, he goes, I want to take lunch. But, like, I don't understand why he wanted to, but what made him not.
Lunchbox
What made you not. Well, because he's always confident, Bobby, you know? Oh, I know. His confidence far exceeds how much he actually gets it right, but he is very confident. It would be hard not to chase that confidence for sure. Okay, so you two are wrong. Lunchbox has selfies.
Abby
Morgan, I had being on a plane because we've had a lot of injuries on planes lately around.
Lunchbox
Oh, no, she's saying, like, because of all the crashes recently.
Abby
Yeah, people are getting a lot more injuries on planes.
Bobby Bones
Like, just 20, 25 alone.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So, Russ, Amy, and Eddie are not right. So you missed that one. Now, you can go to Lunchbox and just have Lunchbox's answer, or you can have every other answer. Like, it doesn't matter. If lunchbox is wrong, Russ wins.
Amy
Oh, lovely.
Lunchbox
So you can go with Lunchbox's answer or you can go with every other answer known to man. And one of those would be right, because Morgan's is wrong. Very wrong.
Amy
Hey, but, Russ, you already didn't pick Lunchbox. Do you want to go back and pick Lunch?
Morgan
Because Lunchbox, I mean, you go crawling back, man. We'll have you.
Lunchbox
You have what?
Morgan
Come crawling back.
Lunchbox
What's your answer?
Morgan
Taking a selfie.
Lunchbox
So if it's taking a selfie, Russ wins, and, boy, do we have a great price pack for us. We got a Blake Shelton vinyl. We got a Lainey Wilson vinyl. We got a John Morgan vinyl. We got stuff. We got this. We got the ultimate crap from the backpack here. So that being said. All right, let's go. Lunch.
Morgan
I'm gonna go with lunch.
Amy
It was the vinyls.
Morgan
It was the vinyls, man.
Lunchbox
Russ, now, if you pick Lunchbox, you do get. Take a selfie, but if you don't, you get every other answer in the world. In the whole world. Right, right. That's a lot of stuff. That's every other stuff.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I.
Morgan
Lunch.
Lunchbox
Let's go. He's going with you lunchwise.
Morgan
I mean, he wants to be a winner, so of course he's gonna go with me. I mean, I tried to do this from the beginning and make it simple, but he. Russ, wanted to draw it out and be all dramatic, you know?
Lunchbox
The answer is ready to play a theme song one more time. No, you're not gonna get it. But I am never, never gonna get it.
Morgan
I got it. Yes, I am.
Lunchbox
Count it this time. 11% of us have sustained an injury.
Amy
He got it taking selfies.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Russ, come on, dude. Let's go live. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Morgan
That's a tempered.
Lunchbox
You can. Come on, man.
Morgan
When I tell you 100, I mean a hundred percent.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah. Russ is torn.
Amy
Yeah, he's torn.
Lunchbox
Whether to be excited or not. Anyone? Hey, Russ, you won. Regardless of how you feel about it, Congratulations. Thank you for listening to the show. Stay on the phone. We're gonna get all your information. Okay? All right. Thanks, Lodge. Sorry. Thank you. There he is. Russ Bones.

Bobby Bones
I'm scared.
Lunchbox
A million dollars.
Bobby Bones
I'm scared.
Lunchbox
Well, should we pull the room lunchbox? Would you leave your wife for a.
Morgan
Million dollars tax free?
Amy
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Okay, sure.
Morgan
Gosh, a million dollars is a lot of money.
Lunchbox
A million dollars in cash, in briefcases or backpacks. Your choice.
Amy
Oh, that's cool.
Morgan
Oh, I might leave my wife for a million dollars. Yeah, I'd leave for a million in cash. No taxes.
Lunchbox
But taxes are what makes you change your mind.
Morgan
Yeah, because then I'm not a millionaire.
Bobby Bones
Well, if you spend like, if you.
Lunchbox
Spend a dollar, you're not a millionaire anymore.
Morgan
Yeah, but by the time I spend a dollar, I could have interest earning on that right in there. A big interest when you have a lot of money.
Bobby Bones
I guess if he adds it with his other monies in the bank.
Lunchbox
So there's one. Yes. Amy.
Bobby Bones
No.
Morgan
You wouldn't leave your dude.
Lunchbox
You wouldn't leave your dude, you're just dating. You're right.
Morgan
That is.
Lunchbox
You're right. Good point. Yeah.
Amy
It's a million dollars.
Lunchbox
A million dollars.
Bobby Bones
So for $1 million, you want me to risk a potential future with somebody.
Lunchbox
But no, I didn't just.
Bobby Bones
We've been dating for eight months.
Lunchbox
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but.
Amy
Million dollars, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And then I have to start this whole cash with.
Lunchbox
In backpacks or briefcases.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so then for Louis.
Lunchbox
Louis luggage. And you get to keep the luggage.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so now because of cash, I have to start this entire process over with somebody else at some point. That's exhausting.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but I mean, it's not eight months.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
So eight months for a million dollars.
Bobby Bones
At eight months, how long did it take you to propose to your now wife?
Lunchbox
Over a year.
Bobby Bones
But around the. Around the eight month mark. You knew? Yeah, I'm not saying that. I know that's where we're headed.
Morgan
Announcement.
Bobby Bones
Well, no, I'm just saying I could say the same thing to you. And then you would have missed out on your marriage with Caitlyn. Okay, so would you take the million?
Lunchbox
I'd say it's a bit different though. It would have been different.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Lunchbox
We're already living together.
Amy
You're married.
Lunchbox
Well, we're married now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, y' all were living together. I mean, covet happened.
Lunchbox
Sort of forced circumstances you can make. Okay, so now dang. Low blows.
Eddie
Wait, those aren't low blows.
Lunchbox
Like I said, the circumstances were different.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
We were living together.
Bobby Bones
So that makes your relationship more important.
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm just saying for a million bucks, eight months with.
Bobby Bones
Wait. Oh, low blows. I'm feeling low blows.
Morgan
Ah, man.
Lunchbox
Would you advise Amy to take it?
Morgan
I would advise her to take it.
Amy
Amy, take the million.
Morgan
The odds are.
Bobby Bones
And then what? You never get to never get to see them again?
Amy
Hey, a lot of fish in the sea. Amy.
Lunchbox
Odds are what the odds are that.
Morgan
This is not your.
Bobby Bones
Dude, you can tell. Y' all haven't tried dating out there in your 40s.
Amy
That's correct.
Bobby Bones
Married or divorced with kids, Y' all don't know what it's like.
Amy
Yeah, see, that's where. That's where it gets tough for me. The kids.
Morgan
That's the hard part.
Amy
Like the million dollars for the wife, I feel like it's a no brainer.
Morgan
But with the kids, right? That's where I struggled with the kids.
Lunchbox
But you still get the kids.
Amy
No child support and like you have.
Lunchbox
To give none of it up for child support. Oh, none of it? None of it.
Bobby Bones
But you Still. Okay, but because of the divorce, he'd have to pay child support from his other income.
Lunchbox
She doesn't know you have the million dollars. Your wife. So you're divorced. Oh, she doesn't know you have the money. If you're paying child support, it's on the money you're making.
Bobby Bones
Doing this job, he's going to have to pay alimony, too.
Amy
Yeah, and then the kids have to grow up and say no. Dude, I'm going to say no to the million. I thought hard about it.
Lunchbox
Take the kids out.
Bobby Bones
Ooh.
Amy
But. And we've been married for this long? Almost 20 years.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
I mean, guys, y' all sound miserable.
Lunchbox
And you had a good run, but a million dollars? Amy, you had a good run. Eddie.
Morgan
Eddie, you could have a reset.
Lunchbox
And apparently, like Amy said, it's very easy to date in your 40s with kids.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Let me tell you, it's a real treat out there.
Lunchbox
So a million dollars. Would you leave your partner? Amy says no, says yes. Eddie says.
Amy
I'm gonna have to say no, man. Okay.
Lunchbox
I'm gonna say no.
Morgan
Can I ask Morgan?
Lunchbox
You would, though, right? No.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no.
Abby
You do not know the crap that I've been through with dating. I'm not doing this crap again.
Morgan
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
Wait, y' all are prioritizing money over relationships?
Morgan
It's been three months.
Bobby Bones
She feels four months. She doesn't want to start this.
Lunchbox
Sorry.
Abby
I want money more than a person. I want a person more than I want money.
Lunchbox
I'm looking at data. If it's me, I'm looking at. Okay. Have I been in other relationships up to this point? Did I feel the same way and did it work out? If the answer is no, yes and no. I have and it didn't. I'm going to probably bet this is going to be the same. I'm going to take the million dollars because that I can keep for sure.
Bobby Bones
You can say that about Morgan, but you can't say that about me because.
Lunchbox
There is no data on you. Right.
Bobby Bones
So I'm saying, like, this is my first relationship out of a long term merit, long marriage, and it's already lasting eight months.
Morgan
Amy, I want to take it back. You're smart. Morgan's idiot.
Lunchbox
Now also, you just. One gets the dunce cap.
Morgan
Yeah, one gets a dunce cap, and it has to be her.
Abby
That's pretty random.
Bobby Bones
No, I think that. Look, y' all are the ones that. Y' all are the men in the 40s. Like, y' all are an example of what's available out there?
Lunchbox
Again, you know what? I'm gonna.
Amy
Rude. That's a shot.
Lunchbox
Rude and personal. Yes.
Morgan
That was a low blow.
Bobby Bones
No, I was thinking because my truck said to Edd, how much to leave your partner?
Lunchbox
What?
Morgan
That's a great question.
Lunchbox
How about 5 million?
Morgan
Would you walk?
Lunchbox
5?
Bobby Bones
My partner might say, would you walk? That feels weird to say. My boyfriend might.
Lunchbox
My boyfriend feels weird.
Bobby Bones
Partner feels weird. Okay, let's call him Alex. Like, what do y' all want to call him?
Lunchbox
Because partner boyfriend feels like the TW in your 20s and 30s.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you can't have a boyfriend when you're in your 40s. You have to have a boyfriend.
Lunchbox
He's, like, in his 50s, right?
Bobby Bones
He's 52.
Morgan
Don't avoid the question. Five million.
Bobby Bones
I mean, he might say no.
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
What do you say?
Morgan
No.
Lunchbox
No, it's not him.
Bobby Bones
I say take it. Amy. No, I, I. No.
Lunchbox
Okay, but then, Morgan, 5 million. You are so crazy.
Abby
I don't feel the same way about money as you do.
Morgan
Oh, my God.
Abby
It is the exact point, actually.
Bobby Bones
Do you know that, like, a lot of research shows that.
Lunchbox
Oh, boy, here we go with a lot of research.
Bobby Bones
Finger quoted. You can Google the studies, but, like, loneliness is an epidemic and people are dying earlier because they are alone.
Amy
Who says we're going to go to.
Lunchbox
All these places with all. With all that money and meet new people's only 32.
Morgan
It's not like her life's over. She has $5 million.
Lunchbox
Studies show that. 32, your life's just starting. You can meet all the guys you want.
Morgan
Oh, my.
Abby
No. I can tell you, as someone who's been dating for the last 12 years, that is not how that works. And also after, I'm going to give.
Lunchbox
You guys $5 million.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I bet.
Lunchbox
Oh, is your tune change. Will you take 5 million to leave?
Bobby Bones
No. But how come you can say you wouldn't take.
Lunchbox
I wouldn't. No. No doubt about it. I wouldn't.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but we're not allowed to say that.
Lunchbox
You're not. It's not your husband.
Amy
He's married.
Lunchbox
I'm married.
Amy
You just met.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but what about when? Yes, I just meet him. Bobby just admitted at eight months, he was already living with his personality.
Lunchbox
Five million bucks at eight months? Yeah, I'm probably out. What?
Bobby Bones
Now you would say that?
Lunchbox
Anyone? Just based off of my history, it never worked. So I was like, regardless of how I feel, I'm not gonna chase feel because we feel all different ways, all different times. I probably would have been like 5 million bucks.
Morgan
I mean if I was four months into dating my now wife and you came up with 50 bucks, here's a million dollars, I would have been like what was her name?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, I guess this just shows how wildly different we all are.
Amy
Yeah, that is true.
Bobby Bones
Like men versus women apparently.
Morgan
Oh man.
Lunchbox
I am Morgan. You wouldn't leave this D. You've been dating for four months for $5 million? No.
Morgan
Oh my gosh.
Abby
I very optimistic person and it's not insane. Like I. I know the priorities are important and I've talked to enough people.
Lunchbox
Think about the dogs. You could say with that.
Abby
Older women. You've been talking to rich people. No, older men and women residents of a senior living who the biggest regrets is relationships and stuff with them.
Bobby Bones
No, see Morgan is their data and the research. Right?
Amy
Oh, she's the research.
Bobby Bones
You're talking about Abe's garden. Yes.
Lunchbox
So 43% of Americans said they would leave their partner for a million bucks. Almost half.
Amy
I guess that's about right.
Bobby Bones
40. It's probably. And did we poll if they're men or women?
Lunchbox
We didn't. I didn't do the poll at all. I'm reading this from study finds website where they say though I'm thinking if it's 43%, some of those could probably already be in bad relationships anyway.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, anyways. That's true.
Lunchbox
Another one is 48% would embarrass themselves on live TV for $1 million.
Morgan
Oh, for sure.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like what's the embarrassing thing?
Amy
Yeah, like what?
Morgan
Make out your mom. Oh, I do it.
Lunchbox
You can make out with your mom. A million dollars on tv. Tom.
Morgan
Give me. Get in your mom?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
No way you would make out with your mom?
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
That's gross.
Morgan
Yeah, it is gross, Eddie. That's why it's called.
Lunchbox
Let me ask you this. How much did.
Bobby Bones
No.
Morgan
Probably five million.
Bobby Bones
Don't answer that.
Morgan
Yeah, five million.
Lunchbox
I think they said five million bucks. And you get to pick. Either leave your wife or do you get to pick which one for 5 million with mom.
Bobby Bones
Oh my God.
Morgan
Probably do the mom.
Bobby Bones
Oh my God. Well, you're telling me. Tell your wife isn't going to want to be with you anyway.
Amy
Dude, this is terrible.
Lunchbox
Yeah, well I didn't pick up the game that part.
Morgan
Hey, you wouldn't French kiss your mom on my TV for a million dollars.
Amy
One million. Nah.
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Would you kiss her?
Amy
Definitely the five million option.
Lunchbox
46% of people would enter a real life version of squid game for a shot at $33 million. So Squid Game is you go and you compete against these other people, and really, Whoever lives gets 33 million, but everybody else dies. 33 million. Would you do Squid Game lunchbox?
Morgan
Not a chance in the world.
Lunchbox
I wouldn't either.
Morgan
Not a chance. I mean, there is no way.
Lunchbox
I already won that thing once. It's called Dancing with the Stars. Doing it again.
Amy
Same thing.
Lunchbox
Doing it again. Amy, you wouldn't.
Bobby Bones
No, I wouldn't.
Lunchbox
But 33 million is a lot of money.
Morgan
I know, but I mean, just the one misstep in red light, green light, and I'm just. I'm out. And I can't stop on a dime like I used to be able to.
Lunchbox
Eddie.
Amy
Nah, I don't think I could survive that stuff. Like those games, man. I don't think I can play those games and win.
Lunchbox
Okay, 40% of Americans said they would accept $10 million even if it meant financially ruining someone else.
Amy
Oh, that's no problem.
Morgan
No problem.
Amy
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
No way does it say who.
Morgan
It doesn't care. Who cares.
Lunchbox
They make a point with saying you don't get to pick who.
Morgan
That's fine.
Lunchbox
I like it that somebody that you knew in your life was going to be financially run.
Bobby Bones
They wouldn't tell you who, so you know them.
Morgan
That's fine. I may be a casual acquaintance. You know, could be. Exactly.
Lunchbox
Could also be. Oh, dude, it could be you, your family.
Amy
Nah, they don't have any money.
Bobby Bones
But financially ruining. Doesn't mean. I mean, it just means. What now?
Lunchbox
I wouldn't do that one.
Amy
Oh, you wouldn't do it?
Lunchbox
Mm. Mm.
Amy
Good, dude.
Bobby Bones
Good to hear.
Amy
You don't even know who it is.
Lunchbox
I don't need somebody to be punished because I wanted something more.
Amy
But isn't that the world?
Bobby Bones
Isn't leaving someone you love for money, punishing somebody else?
Lunchbox
Some would argue if I left them, it'd be a win for them. Oh, yeah, okay, it'd be a prize. But all our point was a million bucks for somebody you've known for a few months. Morgan, I think if we ask you.
Bobby Bones
The same question, I've surpassed few months, but.
Amy
Okay. It's less than a year, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but listen, at this point in my life, I'm not gonna continue dating somebody that I don't think has potential.
Amy
But you're a millionaire.
Lunchbox
But she spends $1. According to the logic from earlier. Okay, that's where we. That's where we sit on this. Thank you everybody, for allowing and showing your true colors. Morgan, I can't believe you wouldn't do that. You know what?
Abby
You guys go in the dating scene.
Bobby Bones
Tell me how that goes, please. Y' all try to date.
Lunchbox
Okay. You think it's easier for guys?
Abby
No, I think it all sucks.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what's up with guys in their 40s and 50s, but it's rough out there.
Lunchbox
Okay, it's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.
Bobby Bones
So you got to get creative with fundraising these days. You know, I mean, if you're trying to help place out, you got to think outside the box.
Lunchbox
Everybody wants money.
Bobby Bones
Exactly what these artists did in Vermont, the capital of Vermont, Montpelier.
Lunchbox
Good job.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And there's an artist there. His name is Aaron Ingham, and he teamed up with Lauren Andrews, who really wanted a fun way to give back to a local food pantry. So they created three pigs. Big, colorful piggy banks. Oh, that's put downtown. One pig is named Mama, the other pig is named Maisie, and the third pig is Mary Jane, and they're three painted metal pigs. And you can drop your change as you walk by. Like, if you got spare change, maybe you just went out to eat. You got like, a dollar fifty. Just drop it in there.
Lunchbox
That'd be fun. The key to those things, though, is not only getting everyone's attention, but making people feel like it's good luck to do so, because people will drop their money in for good luck. Oh. Like, yeah. Because if you can make it a bit selfish, too, while they're also giving back, but being selfish, they'll do it because they're like, well, I don't want bad luck, so I want to do this. So. Yeah, it's a good idea.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And all the money is going to just basics, which supports food security in the area. And I just thought this was a really creative way to do it.
Lunchbox
I like it. And anybody else, be loud and bold and colorful, but also selfish. Make sure the person doing the thing can get something out of it too.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Like. Like, and Mary Jane bring good luck.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you say that. Yes. All right. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Zones. Wake up. Wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the body bone stone. All right, now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.
Bobby Bones
What are rabbits fly in?
Lunchbox
What do rabbits fly in? Airplanes.
Bobby Bones
A hair plane.
Amy
Good one, dude.
Bobby Bones
How'd you know, I didn't mean to.
Lunchbox
Say that out loud. I try to figure it out sometimes. Warm up. Yeah. A hair plane. Who calls a rabbit a hair, though? Isn't that like a 1950s thing?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
I mean, that might be like their official name.
Lunchbox
I mean, like, who really called a rabbit a hair?
Bobby Bones
A few times when I do about. Yeah, Rabbits and hairs.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Hair plane. Okay, there you go. All right. That was the morning. Corny. Next Easter, be like, should we get the kids a hair?
Amy
Little hairs.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Lobby bone show. Bonehead story of the day.
Morgan
This story comes to us from Key West, Florida. A 63 year old man showed up at a marina, was like, hey, I'm looking to rent a boat. Oh, yeah, we got boats for rent. Can it get to Cuba? Like, no, you're not allowed to take it to Cuba. That's not allowed. He's like, all right. So he just jumped on the boat and drove it to Cuba. And they alerted authorities. And when he got to Cuba, they were waiting for him.
Amy
I mean, it's not far from Key west to Cuba.
Lunchbox
See, I don't know, it sounds like it's a long ways.
Amy
I think I. When I was there, I saw a sign that said like 40 miles that way.
Morgan
40 miles, that's a long way.
Amy
I mean, I don't know.
Lunchbox
40 miles is not that long. If like you're trying to go on a long destination. Like, I thought it was like 200. It's 90 miles.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Key West. I mean, that's. That's a three hour boat ride.
Amy
A rental boat. I don't know if it can make it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think it can, depending on the boat. So, yes, three hours. Not crazy. If you're trying to get to a foreign country and you shouldn't probably get to that foreign country, that's your one shot out of there. Probably. Usually it's the other way, though. They're trying to come here. Cubans are trying to get here. Us not go there. Did it say why he was going?
Morgan
No, it doesn't say. He said he was a man from Texas, wanted to rent a boat so he could go to Cuba.
Lunchbox
He just wanted to go see Cuba, I guess.
Morgan
And when he showed up at Cuba, the Cuban authorities arrested him.
Amy
Yeah, they're not cool with that.
Lunchbox
Maybe get a flight a little easier. Yeah, do it the right way, you know, show you a little passport. All right, there you go.
Morgan
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
Eddie feels insulted by the company because he Got an email that alludes to him being fat. And what do they want you to do?
Amy
Well, here's the deal. If you guys got the email too, I'm not insulted, but if I'm the only one that got it, I'll be very insulted.
Lunchbox
What did the email say?
Amy
It's a new program that our benefits is offering. It's called weight management.
Lunchbox
You guys find any reason to be insulted at anything?
Bobby Bones
I don't.
Amy
Did you get the email?
Bobby Bones
Did I get the email? Or did you get the little pamphlet in your mailbox at home that said.
Amy
Weight management manage your weight with this?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Do you think they're finding the heavier employees and sending them these pamphlets? What I'm saying, dude, what mail is it? Is it mail? Email. When you say mail, I think email.
Amy
Email.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Did you want to get home?
Bobby Bones
I got something in my mailbox. It said what from our company about a new plan of sorts.
Amy
Is that more serious that they wanted to send them?
Lunchbox
Was it about managing your weight?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. When I opened it up, I mean, there were multiple options. I don't think Eddie's being targeted. I think it's just. Just, like, new things that are available.
Lunchbox
So did Eddie feel targeted, or did Eddie just make up something for show material?
Bobby Bones
No, I think he probably could have felt that way.
Amy
Correct.
Lunchbox
And then you think they really target you thought.
Amy
Yes, because nowadays you can, like, you know, you see people geo target. Geo targeting. They do that on Facebook.
Lunchbox
You think they're weight targeting you, but how do they know how much you weigh?
Amy
Well, you know, and have you put on weight. We talk about, dude, I'm about to do a hot dog challenge.
Bobby Bones
That's probably why they sent it to you.
Amy
Yes.
Lunchbox
By the way, next Friday, Eddie will try to eat 70 hot dogs in 24 hours.
Amy
And they're about to send me another email. Watch right now.
Lunchbox
So they can hear you. Like Instagram, like the ads. That's what it is.
Amy
Yes.
Lunchbox
And if he can, he will win $800. But you can get all the alerts for when we go live. Just go over to our YouTube page and search for the Bobby Bone show. Okay, two things. One, you did not get targeted because you were fat. Two, you did not get targeted because of the hot dogs. I think this is just. If they keep their employees healthier, they have to pay less for insurance. Oh, because you're not. You're going to the doctor less.
Amy
They're trying to save money. So if I get on this plan, I'm healthier. Don't have to go to the doctor. Got it. Okay.
Lunchbox
I mean, the best health care is making sure people don't get sick.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Preventative health care.
Bobby Bones
That's the truth. Except for some. Well, I don't want to be all conspiracy theorists, but some people out there think some of the larger companies want to keep us sick.
Amy
Yeah, they want us fat because they.
Bobby Bones
Make money off of us.
Lunchbox
But they're not. That's healthcare companies I'm talking about. The best health care.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Is done when you can keep people from being sick. So.
Amy
So I shouldn't get offended by this email?
Bobby Bones
No, no, not at all.
Lunchbox
But you should start stretching out that stomach because next Friday, 70 hot dogs in 24 hours.
Amy
And after this competition or whatever, I might sign up for this.

Scuba Steve
I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody.
