  • Bobby earned progressively more through three appearances, totaling around $5,000.

5. Office Hijinks — Who’s Funniest?

[18:50–21:05]

• Lunchbox confronts Eddie about calling him out for eating extra bagels; recounts classic office “who ate all the snacks?” drama, with all hosts chiming in and mock-exaggerating each other's actions.
  • “He thought he was hilarious and nobody cared about your dumb joke.” — Lunchbox ([19:29])
  • Bobby notes how these friendly disputes always get “embellished.”

6. GPS Theories: Are Maps Controlling Us?

[22:34–27:14]

• Eddie shares a semi-paranoid theory that GPS platforms might intentionally reroute traffic to create jams and then “solve” them for users, positing some sinister algorithmic puppeteering.

[30:01–32:34]

• Abby spots Kix Brooks at Walmart; Raymundo sees Post Malone and Jordan Davis at the mall and Chick-fil-A, respectively.

8. Bar Ownership, Licensing, and the Eric Church Call

[32:35–33:36]

• Bobby explains how most artist-branded bars are just licensing deals, not actual artist-owned.

9. Hidden Song Parodies & Early Nashville Days

  • Much laughter over the lyrics and Bobby’s long-standing no-cursing policy.

10. Celebrity Divorce, Money, and Legal Loopholes

[41:32–46:57]

• Extensive analysis of Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s public divorce filings:
  • Reports (from E! News) claim both make $100,000/month.
  • Bobby clarifies that these numbers are likely mutually agreed, not accurate reflections—celebrities often “camouflage” income via LLCs and legal arrangements.
    • Quote:
      • “There is no $100,000 that they can determine is the set amount … They have, with their lawyers, somewhat camouflaged their money because it was agreed upon mutually.” — Bobby ([43:05])
  • Discussion of prenuptial clauses, including a real agreement paying Keith Urban $600,000 per year for every year he remained drug-free.

11. Celebrities and “Lyme Disease Excuses”

[55:46–63:45]

• Skepticism around celebrities citing Lyme disease for show absences (esp. Justin Timberlake).
  • Is it overdiagnosed, overused as a “get out of tour” card?
  • Research and debate on how you actually get Lyme disease—turns out, nearly always via tick bite.
• Amy introduces “bee venom therapy” as a controversial Lyme treatment; Eddie, an animal lover, objects to bee harm.
• Wider discussion on public vs. private illness narratives and how sometimes “increased awareness” leads to more diagnoses.

12. Language Fails, Technology News, and AOL’s End

[52:28–66:37]

• Amy confesses she’s always said "lollygaggling" instead of "lollygagging."
• AOL Dial-Up service finally ends after 30 years; only ~200,000 users worldwide still on dial-up (to general amazement and nostalgia).
  • “I think I’m more surprised that 200,000 people still have dial up than I am 200,000 people still had AOL.” — Bobby ([66:02])

13. Family Life & Weekends

[69:11–71:55]
