Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Dream and the Plan (02:08–12:07)

• Lunchbox’s Longtime Wish:
  Lunchbox (real name Daniel) has been obsessed with being on a game show, especially The Price Is Right, for years.
  "He made it happen. As he would say, do you believe in miracles?" (Bobby Bones, 02:08)
• Scheduling and Ticket Confusion:
  Amusing group debate over when Lunchbox can actually fly to LA and if he needs clearance from Bobby.
  "Did I ever just say, hey, go whenever you want?" (Bobby, 03:34) "I was going to go for a whole week, man." (Lunchbox, 04:41)
• Game Ticket Woes:
  Difficulty obtaining tickets due to select dates and system quirks. Lunchbox plans on maximizing his chances by applying for multiple days.
• Strategizing to Stand Out:
  The crew playfully debates what Lunchbox should wear, ultimately suggesting he rent a tuxedo to be memorable.
  "If it were me, I'd wear a full tuxedo because nobody does that. It stands out..." (Bobby, 08:52)
• Code Word for Secrecy:
  They invent a code—“Papua New Guinea”—that Lunchbox will use on air if he can’t legally say he made it on.
  "If you say Papua New Guinea, that means you got on the show..." (Bobby, 14:42)
• Team Motivation:
  Bobby offers a $1,000 reward to any staffer who gets on a national game show and shouts out the Bobby Bones Show.
  "If you can get on a game show and you shout out the Bobby Bone Show, I'll give you a thousand bucks..." (Bobby, 10:51)

---

2. On the Ground in Los Angeles (16:19–28:23)

• Arrival and Pre-Taping Jitters:
  Lunchbox describes a sleepless night before the big day and details on-site logistics like outside waiting, ticket checks, and preparing his energy for producers.
  "I'm gonna start the wave right off the bat... That really gets the crowd going." (Lunchbox, 17:20)
• Meeting Prospective Contestants:
  Befriends Marilyn and other hopefuls. Observations about energy, nerves, and stories everyone brings to impress producers.
• Tuxedo Report:
  Confirms he is the only one in a tux, standing out among a sea of t-shirts.
  "Were you the only tux in the room?"
  "Only tux in the room. Only tux." (41:20)
• Producer Interviews & Room Management:
  Shares about rapid-fire interviews with staff, holding areas, and how he tried to be memorable.
  "He moved on to the next person... I was expecting my charisma to take over..." (Lunchbox, 24:00–24:18) "I worked that room..." (Lunchbox, 27:38)

---

3. The Audience Experience & Anticipation (28:23–43:17)

• Inside the Studio:
  Describes the stair-stepped process: lining up outside, being filed in, handing over his phone, intense cheering, and the show's unique cue card system for calling contestants.
• Not Getting Called (Initially):
  On the first two days, Lunchbox is not called to the stage despite his efforts and enthusiasm, leading to self-doubt and reevaluation.
  "After the first four names were called... I have five shots left... that's when it hit me... I'm not going to get on." (Lunchbox, 37:41–38:14)
• Emotional Rollercoaster:
  Vivid description of the sinking feeling when others are called, and the shortened odds with each new contestant.
  "I was 100% before I left for LA—I am 100%, no doubt getting on this show." (Lunchbox, 38:30)
• Showcase of Others' Strategies:
  Notice how real human interest stories and personalized shirts seem to impress producers most.
• Bittersweet Non-Selection:
  After not being called, Lunchbox expresses a mix of misery and humility, knowing he’ll have to return to the show and recount the loss.
  "Ready to leave... I'm gonna have to go back with my tail between my legs..." (Lunchbox, 42:27–42:56)

---

4. The Shocking Reveal: Lunchbox Gets Called Down! (52:38–55:21)

• The Surprise:
  After days of subterfuge and secrecy (even faking disappointment on air!), Bobby and Amy are flooded with listener messages revealing Lunchbox/Daniel was the very first contestant called on a new episode.
  "Daniel Chapel, come on down!" (Price Is Right Announcer, 54:19) "First one out of the gate." (Lunchbox, 54:33)
• Lunchbox's Reaction:
  Genuine shock and joy; Lunchbox only realizes he's called when he sees the cue card—it's so loud, he can’t hear. Marilyn, his new friend, is first to tell him it's his name.
  "They did the cue card under the camera... Marilyn, she turned around before I even noticed it was me..." (Lunchbox, 55:00–55:18)
• Keeping the Secret:
  Lunchbox details the agony of keeping his win under wraps, dodging questions, and inventing distractions.
  "I had to come up with, like, ideas on what I was going to say..." (Lunchbox, 69:26)

---

5. Onstage Triumphs and Heartbreak (55:54–69:22)

• Contestants’ Row Challenge:
  He loses three pricing games and starts to panic, but is encouraged by fans and new friends.
  "Dude, I'm choking... He said, you'll be fine dude, you made a contestant row. Who cares?" (Lunchbox, 57:49–58:12)
• Bidding Against Marilyn:
  Engages in a classic $1 overbid against Marilyn, highlighting the cutthroat nature—even among newfound friends.
• Winning His Game:
  Lunchbox wins the 'Two Right, One Wrong' game (correctly identifying the wrong price among three items), scoring a home gym, a desktop, and Jimmy Choo shoes.
  "Oh my God, it was so great. Like, it is so cool to win the game." (Lunchbox, 62:42)
• Spinning the Wheel – Showcase Showdown:
  After a tense two spins, Lunchbox lands a combined 90 (after thinking he was doomed on his first spin), earning him a spot in the final Showcase.
  • "You just got a bendy on the wheel..." (Announcer, 64:37)
• Final Showdown and Heartbreak:
  Lunchbox bids $32,000 on a showcase featuring trips to Greece, Thailand, and New Orleans. He’s over by just $699, narrowly missing victory in “devastating” fashion.
  • “Actual price is $31,301. Just over. Just over by $699. Sorry, man.” (Game Show Announcer, 67:06)
  • "I collapsed, man. They showed it..." (Lunchbox, 67:36)
• Reflection on the Experience:
  Despite not winning the biggest prize, Lunchbox is deeply moved and rates this as his second greatest life moment, only behind Prom King.
  • "To hear Drew Carey laugh like that when I was on stage, like, that was pretty awesome.” (Lunchbox, 71:12)

---

6. Behind the Scenes & Takeaways (55:20–End)

• Name Game:
  Lunchbox explains why the show used his legal name:
  "They just take your ID and they write what's on the ID..." (Lunchbox, 59:30)
• No Insider Help:
  The team clarifies Lunchbox got on fair and square—no inside connections or show-rigging.
• Production Details:
  Insights into audience management, why production staff use small mics (less intimidating), and how contestants are distributed in the crowd.

[Bobby Bones]

the Bobby Bones show welcome to the Bobby Bones Show Price is Right special where we will uncover Lunchbox's entire road to the Price is Right Spoiler. He got on Price is Right. It all started back in July of 2025, which is about a year back from today. That is the first time he put it out there that he's going to start to try to get on the prices right now. Lunchbox had a dream being on a game show way longer than that. He made it happen. As he would say, do you believe in miracles? Well, a lot of people said that, but he. He's the last one to say it. This episode will take you on that journey from start to finish. From the drama of him getting tickets, messing up tickets, going to la, finding out he was actually on his experience there, how he lied to us all that now knowing now how it ended makes it even more interesting because it was good. He actually couldn't tell us anyway, legally, so he had to keep it from us, but it was good. So here we go. Lunchbox's Journey, the special on the Price Is Right.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So you say if I take time off, I can just go to Hollywood, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I've said in the past we have times that we could let you off to go to Los Angeles. But I don't just go. You can just take whenever you want off to go to Hollywood.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay, so I should cancel that flight for what, October 13th?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you should probably cancel that flight.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Did you buy a flight, told me I can go whenever I want?

[Bobby Bones]

Did I ever just say, hey, go whenever you want?

[Amy]

I just let said, hey, if you want to go, sort of plan it, let us know. This is him letting you know that

[Bobby Bones]

he's already planned it.

[Derek]

Everything's so backwards with him.

[Bobby Bones]

What's October 13th?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, well, they are filming, like, Price is Right has their dates and they're filming that week. And so it's far enough in advance where I can apply for ticket to get into the show like through September. So far they're like, sold out, sold out, sold out, sold out.

[Bobby Bones]

Apply for the ticket. As long as you work from the studio there, no problem.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Bam. All right. Is that. Is that in Burbank or is that in la? The studio?

[Derek]

You tell us, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Derek]

Hollywood.

[Bobby Bones]

Hollywood surfer dad.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I've never been to the Iheart studio there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the Iheart studio.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, yeah. I don't care about anything else. It's Burbanking. The Price is Right because when you walk in, it says, boom, we're right.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, but last time I had to go, they wanted to set me up over in.

[Bobby Bones]

I can handle it. You didn't run through me. If you'd have run through me, would have got you wherever you wanted to go.

[Derek]

Oh, that's the real Hollywood.

[Game Show Announcer]

Right?

[Amy]

I didn't run any of it. Yeah, I was.

[Bobby Bones]

If you want to work in Burbank, we'll put you in Burbank, but you can go. How long are you going to be gone?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I was going to go for a whole week, man.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a vacation. No, you're taking a vacation.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I was literally going to go and try to get on the show as new.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, they will give you tickets for certain days. If you show us the days you have tickets for you, you can be gone for those days.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right. And then. Because, like, if I'm in the audience the first day and I don't get called up, I want to go back the second day.

[Bobby Bones]

But you have to have tickets for that.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

Right.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm going to apply for all of them all week.

[Bobby Bones]

And then all of the tickets that you get, you let us see them and you can have off for whatever tickets you get.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And then every. Every day that I'm there, I'm going to try other shows.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. But whatever days you have for the tickets, boom, you can be gone.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I will be hitting up price.

[Amy]

Price is Right is not filmed in Burbank. If he thinks it is. Oh, it says a lot of TV and film is in Burbank, but not. The prize is right.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, maybe the company at the end is just in Burbank.

[Bobby Bones]

The one that puts on the TV show. You just see the credits and you

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

think it says Burbank.

[Bobby Bones]

It's in Glendale.

[Derek]

Oh, lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is close. Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

See, there you go.

[Bobby Bones]

When I did Dancing with the Stars, I lived in Glendale.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

See, because the station was in Burbank.

[Derek]

That was nice.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That makes me feel better.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

All right, Price is Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Let us know.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Question.

[Bobby Bones]

Answer.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Emailing prices, Right. For tickets. Should I send it for my.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you already had all this figured out.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm saying you've already bought the flight. Yeah, okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm saying which email. Do I send it from my. My Hotmail or do I send it from my, like, work email?

[Bobby Bones]

You get tickets online for free.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, but you can email them if it's not available. The tickets aren't available yet. Like, if you see a date that works for you, you can email them. And that's October. They haven't put those out. They only do them 60 days.

[Bobby Bones]

Just message them from your MySpace.

[Derek]

There we go. That'll go straight to.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You know, this is what I'm being serious, and you guys are being jokes.

[Bobby Bones]

I would just message them from whatever email you use the most, so if they respond, you'll know.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. I just didn't know if it's more impressive. It came from the, you know, August,

[Bobby Bones]

September, you have, like, 30 days to figure out.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm feeling. I'm figuring it out right now.

[Bobby Bones]

And let Scuba know and let him see the tickets you got. And all those days that you have tickets for, you can be gone.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But you have to work from our studios.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, I understand that. No, no, no. I'm not going on. I'm going to get on tv.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like you guys say, I'm not about it. I'm about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we're in. You haven't been about it yet, but I know we look forward to you being about it in year 20 of our show.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's right. Hey, people change, man. Leaves change every year. They change colors.

[Bobby Bones]

Leaves change. Where did you see that? To wait and use that. Because that came from something he was sitting on that change color. Yeah, go ahead.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I came from my mind right now. Okay, that's pretty good.

[Amy]

From the dome.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. There he is. We're rooting for you, lunchbox.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

All right.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Come on down.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox wants to do prices. Right. So what's the latest on that, lunchbox?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, I got my tickets. I'm good to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Tickets as in to go sit in the crowd?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, sit in the crowd. I mean, I have no guarantee that they're going to pick me to come on stage, but October 17th, look for me.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Come on down.

[Bobby Bones]

We can't look for you on October 17th because it's taped.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, yeah, that's what I meant.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. So if we tell our listeners look on October 17th, they're gonna look, but they're gonna see a show from, like, March that was recorded.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay. So I will be in the audience on October 17, filming, hoping to hear my name called.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Come on down.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You're the next contestant on the prize is right. And I go crazy. And then I bid $1, get on stage, and I'm gonna play Hole in One or Two. And then I'm gonna go to the Showcase showdown. And then my question is, like, if I spin the big wheel and I'm the first person, I get 60 cents. Do you stay or do you go?

[Bobby Bones]

How do you know you're gonna get on the show? Did you just get tickets to the website like anyone else?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so you didn't have, like, an inside.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, I just went and I registered. That's tickets. And I. But I have a priority ticket, so if I show up on time, I'm guaranteed to be in the audience.

[Amy]

Oh, nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you guaranteed to talk with a

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

producer that it did not say, do

[Bobby Bones]

you have a plan for what you're going to wear or do that?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I do not. I don't know what to wear. Like, I. I don't know if I'm

[Price is Right Announcer]

like, drew, I'm here for you, or.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's everybody. Everybody's doing what you're thinking there.

[Derek]

I always see a lot of military

[Bobby Bones]

guys you can't impress.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We're not doing that.

[Derek]

Just a thought.

[Bobby Bones]

I would. Listen, if it were me, I would do the opposite of what everybody does, where you wear a T shirt with a name on it. I also wouldn't dress normal. If it were me, I'd wear a full tuxedo because nobody does that. It stands out, but it doesn't stand out in a weird, like, it's. It's like a warmly weird way. Like, you thought this was such an important event that you wore a tuxedo.

[Derek]

That's funny.

[Amy]

I like that.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, that's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

So if I were strategizing, especially the clothing, I would wear something like a tuxedo something. I'm not going to say, no, you can't wear that. And also, everybody does the T shirts and this. That. So you can't do military. No.

[Derek]

Okay. I guess not.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And you can't, like, wear a mascot costume or anything like that because you can't cover your head.

[Amy]

Right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. It's not. It's not. Let's Make a Deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. That's the one where you dress up in costumes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I'd go full tuxedo and, like, have my hair fixed and gelled. And they're like, why are you dressed like this? You're like, this is the most important day of my life and.

[Amy]

Yeah, more than your wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I didn't even dress like this for my wedding. Like, I would make good stuff. Yeah, that. That would be the center of my existence there.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay, so I have to go to a tuxedo place, carry it on the plane, take it to my hotel room, make sure it's nice, sharp.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Boom.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Let's go.

[Derek]

Lunchbox is not that hard.

[Game Show Announcer]

Like, it's just.

[Derek]

It's just clothes, man.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, I'm saying I'm in. I got to get a. What do you call those things, those bags that they carry them? Suit bag.

[Amy]

A hanging bag.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I Don't know. Yeah, like, I see business people.

[Derek]

It comes with a rental, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

It's.

[Derek]

It's. It's all included.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, it doesn't matter if it gets wrinkled on the plane. You just get a steamer when you get to the hotel and then steam it there. Like, you can literally pack in your suitcase. A month away. A month away, though.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

One month away. I will be in la.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna shave your face?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, I'll shave my face. Yeah. It's gonna be gone. Like, listen, sometimes, like, when it's big events, I shave my face. It's my face just. It gets out of control sometimes because I get busy and then I forget about it. But price is right. I'm going to be looking sharp. What do they call? Dapper.

[Bobby Bones]

I will make anybody a deal on this show that works for this show. If you can get on a game show and you shout out the Bobby Bone Show, I'll give you a thousand bucks. Whoa, whoa. So anybody you can apply, as long as it's like a real game show. It's not, like, local. You know, throw the cup in the. You know, the ball in the cup type thing.

[Derek]

Like a real game show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you get a real game show. Game show network, whatever. I'll give you a thousand bucks if you get on and say, Bobby Bone show on air.

[Derek]

All right, I'm on it.

[Bobby Bones]

So that gives you guys some motivation to go apply for game shows.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, good luck. And Lunchbox, you're headed out when? October 17th.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, so see you in LA, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

You won't see me, but, dang, that's like, just a little over a month away. Yeah, that's pretty exciting. Okay.

[Amy]

I think we should just, you know, congratulate him on actually doing something about.

[Bobby Bones]

About it.

[Amy]

Because, you know, he said he's wanted to do this for years.

[Bobby Bones]

We've had to push him to do it every single. Every single day.

[Amy]

He. I think, you know, it's just positive reinforcement.

[Bobby Bones]

So give him.

[Amy]

Yeah, give him.

[Bobby Bones]

That's false positive reinforcement.

[Derek]

What do you want? Just say, good job.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, Lunchbox. This is amazing. Like, we're proud of you, but we

[Bobby Bones]

made him do it.

[Amy]

We're proud of you.

Well, that's what I'm doing. I'm renting. I'm going to go to a store here and pick it up in California.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, same kind of store. They just send over the measurements.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct. Got it.

[Amy]

Like a. Like a chain.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So next week. Okay, we need to have like a secret word or something, because if you get on or you can't, you don't get on. Well, if you don't get on, you can say you didn't get on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

If you do get on. I'm not sure you can say you got on. Or maybe you can say you got on, but you can't say if you won.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I have no idea. Like, this is all new to me. And then, I don't know, like, is it like, oh, this airs in a week or does this air in like six months?

[Bobby Bones]

I would think a few months.

[Amy]

Maybe we just all say, stay in suspense until Monday. Like, he doesn't tell us anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Even Monday, is what I'm saying. You can't say anything. Oh, if he gets on and they're like, you can't say anything. You can't say anything regardless. But they can't keep you from doing secret words, facial movements.

[Amy]

I like, blink twice.

[Bobby Bones]

Right, right, right. Well, we can't say that. He just has to do it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, I got it. My code word will be Papua New Guinea.

[Derek]

Are you gonna remember that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Why is.

[Derek]

That's very unique.

[Bobby Bones]

What just happened?

[Amy]

How are you, like, just walk us through what that. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, lunchbox. I've been thinking about going anywhere new.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Ha. Papua New Guinea.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Derek]

Okay, then we know.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you say that, that means you at least got down to the front row, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I got down to where I got to bid on. I don't know if they call it contestant row, whatever they call it. Those little, little machines in the front. Oh, I can't wait.

[Amy]

So, like, if you don't get. Get on and Bobby asks you that question, you're Going to be like, I don't know, Alaska.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can say you didn't get on. No, I didn't get on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Amy's missing the whole point.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Game Show Announcer]

Papua New Guinea.

[Amy]

The whole thing had to be in code.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you say. If you say Papua New guinea, that means you got on the front row. If you say, oh, oh, oh.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Say Papa New guinea, that means you got on the show. You say, Papa New guinea, that means you got to play. You have to, like, oh, you went really far. That's a lot. Like, the louder you are with Papua New guinea, the further along you went.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay, so it can't be. I was going to come up with a different one, but no, just Papua New Guinea.

[Bobby Bones]

No need to.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Papua New Guinea, Papa New Guinea.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Game Show Announcer]

Got that.

[Bobby Bones]

All you can say. And we can't even. We can react, but we can't even say that we know once it happens,

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

you can just say, that sounds like a cool place.

[Bobby Bones]

But then, yeah, we'll talk to you tomorrow. But you'll be working from a studio in California.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then tomorrow afternoon, his first chance to get on the prices. Right. And if for some reason he gets on and we're talking to him the next day, hey, man, I know you're in California, but have you been thinking about going anywhere cool?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Papua New Guinea.

[Derek]

That's the code word.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the code word. Now, if he goes on the show and he, like, wins. No, if he goes on the show and he gets on the stage. Right. Hey, man, you going anywhere cool?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Ah, Poppy New Guinea.

[Bobby Bones]

If he goes on and gets to the Showcase showdown and wins the whole thing. Hey, man, you've been anywhere cool?

[Price is Right Announcer]

Papa New Guinea.

[Bobby Bones]

But we can't say no anything because we don't want to get him in trouble. Everybody got that?

[Game Show Announcer]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Clear. All right. We'll get more tomorrow as he gets to California. Big day for Lunchbox. He is joining us from a studio in Los Angeles where it's a couple hours earlier there than where we are here. So you got to LA to do prices, right? Well, just to be in the audience. I don't want our audience to think we've set this up. We do not know anybody there. And do you know where you're going? Like, you have the address already mapped out?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I have the address in my email and I want to tell you, they did email me. Price is Right sent me an email saying, saying, hey, you have tickets to our show. We can't wait to see you. Just a reminder, we move the taping up till 12:30. So it is 12:30, no longer 1 o'. Clock. Just making sure, you know it's good.

[Amy]

And you knew.

[Bobby Bones]

How'd you sleep last night knowing that today was a big day?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I didn't sleep very well. I kept worried. I overslept. I kept waking up. Check that clock. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Go back to sleep. Is it. Oh, no, no, I didn't oversleep. Okay. So, yeah, tossing and turning. Not really good. But, hey, guess what? I'm on fire today.

[Bobby Bones]

And you plan to get there and is it outside waiting or inside waiting? Do you know?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's outside waiting. You line up on the street.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And you plan to get there. What time?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I hope to be there because my tapings at 12:30, so I'm hoping to be there by 11.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're just gonna get there and hang out with people. Right, and show them how, like, interested you are, how. How curious you are, how much energy, how charismatic you are. Like, that's the goal.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes. I'm gonna start the wave right off the bat. We're gonna go down the line. All right. Everybody do the way.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Whoa.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like at a stadium. And that. That really gets the crowd going. And then we're gonna start Chance. Price is right. Price is right.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Derek]

I mean, I would love that if I was in line.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, that would be fun. But, like, are producers out there, too?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, they're watching, probably.

[Amy]

Okay. So they're going to see him in action.

[Derek]

Is he doing those games he said he's going to do? Like, price the right games in your pocket.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, I'm not going to do those today. Those are the secret weapon if I have to go back a second day. Like, I didn't. I wasn't able to get my items last night. I mean, I got here late, had margaritas, and I haven't had time to go to the store.

[Derek]

We heard.

[Bobby Bones]

I would encourage you not to play the game what's in my pocket with people you don't know. Just a little something that I know is that gets a bad game with people you don't know.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Could get you in trouble.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, I was gonna do what's in the bag.

[Bobby Bones]

As long as the bag's not in your pocket, I think you're good to go.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So you guys can call us if you want. 877 77. Bobby, we got lunchbox in California going out today, and we do not know. We have no connection to the prices. Right. If he does not get on today, he goes back tomorrow, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

But tomorrow Is also the Valentine's taping.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a tough one because you don't have a partner. Is your wife gonna go with you? Does she have a chicken?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She's not gonna go. I didn't get her a ticket. I mean, I just got one ticket, so I'm really kind of. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

[Amy]

What? I thought we. What we were working on, you know, him and getting a date.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah. Yeah, dude. Like, if you find. If he can't get his wife to get anybody.

[Amy]

But I don't think he ever mentioned

[Bobby Bones]

that he needed a ticket.

[Amy]

A ticket.

[Derek]

We didn't think about that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not our job to think about.

[Derek]

That's true.

[Amy]

That's weird. They would sell single tickets for an episode that they're doing a double date thing. They don't sell I couples thing or sorry, divvy out tickets.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that if you're not a couple, you just don't get on the show.

[Amy]

Well, what a waste.

[Derek]

That's not good lunchbox.

[Amy]

You have to find other single ticket people and couple today.

[Derek]

Today, actually.

[Amy]

Today. Be like, does anybody have a single ticket for tomorrow? Let's. Oh, fall in love.

[Derek]

It's a good idea, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you have it to fake, if it's, you know, if it's a dude and you gotta fake it, it's worth faking it for a day with that person.

[Derek]

It's Hollywood, dude. You gotta play the part.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Be like, hey, you want to see what's in my pocket?

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. That's a good game. Yeah, I got. I want to do a. Some people have a Starbucks order depending on their mood. Morning coffee, weekend something ice but fun. But now afternoons have a new go to because Starbucks just launched their new energy refreshers. This is perfect for me. They're the Starbucks refreshers flavors that everyone already loves. Like the strawberry acai. It's good. Pink drink. Yep. Good. Dragon drink. Yep. Good. Now with an added boost of caffeine to power you through the day. Plus, you can try new flavors like the mango strawberry energy refresher or the mango dream energy drink. They're bright, they're fruity, they're super refreshing, and they're perfect when that afternoon slump hits. Whatever flavor you like, Starbucks energy refreshers are exactly what you need to take on the moments that matter. So next time the afternoon slowdown kicks in, head to your nearest Starbucks and try one of the new energy refreshers. Or order one right now on the Starbucks app.

Today, people who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It feels good to get good news.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

It feels good to Geico.

[Land O' Lakes Advertiser]

Here's a life hack for waking up the whole house without an alarm. Step one, place a skillet over medium heat. Step two, add some Land O' Lakes butter to the skillet to sizzle. And now that everybody's up, you might as well make breakfast sandwiches topped with Land O' Lakes cheese.

[Amy]

Good morning.

[Land O' Lakes Advertiser]

Here's another hack. By buying Land O Lake's products, it benefits over 1,000 farmer owners and their communities. Find it in the dairy aisle. Bobby Bones

[Bobby Bones]

back with Lunchbox, who is in a studio in California. So far as he's tried to get on the prices right, he's waited in line outside, he's been brought inside. He has watched an old episode of Price is Right. He stood in line with nine other people talking to producers and they've asked him, what's your name and what do you do for a living? All right, Take it away.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. And so I just told him the truth. I said, I do morning radio. I'm here by myself. And do you believe in miracles?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you say, do you believe in miracles?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Okay, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the miracle?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That I'm finally there. Because for years I was told I would never go. And I finally went, okay, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

To people told you you'd never go.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You were like, well, you guys always

[Bobby Bones]

said you told never to go. Yes. We encourage you to go. That's the opposite of being told that you can't do it. Oh, it's all. It's okay. It's all a presentation. Your narrative is, you're the little guy, you're the underdog.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes, exactly. And. And then he moves on to the next person. The lady next to me is like, I was here yesterday and I told you I'm unemployed. But now I got hired. I got a job, and I'm like a better story.

[Derek]

Wait, so it's really good.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, okay, okay. He jumped off you in like five seconds.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. So you got it at that point, not be feeling great. Because listen how we tell stories on the show. At any point there's a pivot and he's like, oh, God.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

On the show.

[Bobby Bones]

So did you feel like there was no chance you were getting on that day?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I didn't feel as great about it as I did walking into that room because I was expecting my charisma to take over and him to ask me like 10 follow up questions. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like really just being thralled by you as a person. I got it. So, yeah. So then what happens?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So then you go back to the other room and we're in there for another hour and a half.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Because it has to fill up. And so they had to go through that process, and I'm. I was number 35, and they had to get all the way to number 200.

[Amy]

Hmm.

[Bobby Bones]

So did you have a pretty good seat?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I was on the third row. Well, this is just the holding room. This isn't even where you're sitting in the actual studio.

[Amy]

Okay, so you're on the third row in the holding room.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, in the holding room.

[Bobby Bones]

And then people, pretty good seat in the holding room.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you have a bunch of energy in the holding room?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, yeah, I was working the room, talking to people, dancing, you know what I mean? Doing everything I could, talking to all different groups, you know. Oh, here, you want your picture taken in that showcase showdown? Let me take it for you here I was a photog minor in college.

[Bobby Bones]

Making jokes, you know, lied about that.

[Amy]

Photography?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. That's why I used to tell chicks

[Amy]

at the bar, okay, what a photog minor.

[Bobby Bones]

Photog minor.

[Derek]

Never heard that one.

[Amy]

Were chicks into that?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's funny. They're like, oh, you take our pictures. Well, you're in luck because I was a photog miner. So they think they're going to get some great picture. A regular picture.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, got it. So, okay, what happens next? When do you go into the big room?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, man, it felt like. Let me see. I can tell you what time I took the video.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, here we go again. Oh, look at the phone. For times.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, no, it's not that long. It was at 2:48pm so you got

[Bobby Bones]

there at 11:34am okay, so three hours. Okay, that's not crazy. Crazy, but it's. It's long. Okay, go ahead.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's long. And now you are not allowed to have water. Now you're not allowed to have snacks.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get water though, in between that time?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes, I did. I chugged like six bottles of water.

[Amy]

Okay. Is that because. So you don't pee?

[Bobby Bones]

It sounds more like the Special Forces show that people go on on Fox Prices.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right, Go ahead. So then as you're walking to the across the lot, that's when you have to give up your phone. You drop it in a bag, they give you a number, and here you go. And then you walk to the Price is Right studio.

[Price is Right Announcer]

And it was freaking crazy. It was so cool.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, you, you sit there and then you come out from behind the back and you're in the back of the studio. So the stage is in front, the lights are bright, and there's someone standing there, and she's got a little microphone on. And she's like, how many in your party? And I say, one. And then she goes, you're going to go see Alyssa over here on the right. She's going to seat you. And I go up and I'm on the far right, second row on the aisle.

[Bobby Bones]

Where's Marilyn, by the way? Do you happen to see her in the room?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Marilyn was row number one on the right, front row. Right in front of me.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

You and Maryland reunited. It feels so good.

[Amy]

She's on the aisle too?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes, Maryland was on the aisle too. There was only two seats, and then I was in a three seater and there was two ladies from Fairfield, California, celebrating the mom's birthday. They drove five and a half hours. Fairfield's up by Sacramento. I mean, got all the details, guys. Just, you name it, I got it. Anybody in that audience, I talked to him. I got their whole life story.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I worked that room.

[Bobby Bones]

How long from when you sat down in the room until Drew Carey walked out?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I felt like it was about 45 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

A long time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And was the energy high again, though? Because it's like you're at. You're at a new level.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, the energy is high. You are cheering. Everybody's screaming. And they got music pump and they got boom, boom. They got great jams just going on.

[Bobby Bones]

And Drew Carey comes out.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, no, the guy that does the announcing comes out and tells you, and the producer talks about how it's going to work. We're going to count down. Drew's going to come out. We're going to cheer. And he was like, you may not be able to hear your name. So they have a guy standing on the side with these big white pieces of cardboard.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like cucumber type thing.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. And he flips it down like the one with the X and there's someone's name. And he said, so if you don't hear it, just look over here and that way, you know, to come on down.

[Bobby Bones]

So are they like, okay, Here we go. 3, 2, 1. They get the crowd going and it's showtime.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And yes. Do you remember the first name that was shown on the card?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what. You don't remember the first name that was shown on the card?

[Amy]

I mean, but you worked the room. You knew who went down there and

[Bobby Bones]

you knew who it was and where they were from. You were friends with Jonathan from Halifax, Ontario.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, you're right. But here's the thing. I didn't get people's first name and last name.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I got their first name and.

[Derek]

Okay,

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I think he's playing his boys.

[Derek]

You think?

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm going to make the prediction that he. By looking at him. I think he's playing this right now, that I think he got called because he's doing, like, look at his face.

[Derek]

He doesn't know what to do with his face.

[Bobby Bones]

He doesn't know what he's. He's confused. Okay.

[Amy]

Could it be that obviously he talked a lot and worked the room, but can you imagine if he actually made it on, like, how loud he was being and that's why his throat is so messed up.

[Derek]

Oh, my gosh. Great point, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Amy, Let me. Let me explain something to you. The whole hour, hour 15, hour 30. That they are filming the episode. Everybody. You scream the whole time. Because they're doing camera cutaways, like, all right, we're going to go to commercial. And they're like, all right, we're going to do it. Like, we're coming back from commercial. So everybody cheer again. Okay, you're screaming and just trying to be crazy because you want the camera to find you.

[Bobby Bones]

I got to do a hosting here. We have, like, three and a half minutes. Okay, so, like, so just follow. No. Well, just follow my pace here. So the first name they showed, was it yours?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

How many people go down the first time?

[Caller/Listener]

Four.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. The second name they showed, was it yours?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys, I think he's playing us, though. You do? I do. The third name they show, was it yours?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Amy]

Well, he's not playing us.

[Derek]

I mean, we got one more left.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, you don't. You have the whole show on the first run.

[Amy]

Oh, first run was four.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox, the fourth person they called, was it you?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Derek]

All right.

[Price is Right Announcer]

All right.

[Derek]

That's the first round.

[Bobby Bones]

How many people do they call in total?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They call 4, 5, 6, 9, right? Yeah, I think nine. Yeah, I think that's right.

[Amy]

Nine total.

[T-Mobile Customer 1]

Nine total.

[Derek]

You weren't even there.

[Bobby Bones]

I listen because I did a little research. Yeah, nine total. Because when someone wins, they do. Someone else goes.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

They have to bring someone else up.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Lunchbox, were you fifth?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox, were you sixth?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. All right, we got three spots left.

[Amy]

That's okay. He could be the finale and he

[Derek]

can say that he went up, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what he can say.

[Amy]

Oh, I thought he had to say, like, I went to Portugal.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. I, I, I don't know. We haven't talked to him. Lunchbox, were you seventh? No. He took a breath. We got two spots left. And not only that, if he is to get on the final two spots, that means he has less opportunities to actually get on the show, too, which makes it more difficult. Lunchbox, were you.

[Price is Right Announcer]

He's silent. Come on, Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at him.

[Price is Right Announcer]

He's going, baby. He's laughing. Let's go, baby.

[Amy]

Ask him, Ask him.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you the eighth person called?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Derek]

Why did you do that, too?

[Bobby Bones]

So at this point, Lunchbox, there's only one spot left. Are you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't want to be called.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't want to be called at this point.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't want to be drafted the LA in the seventh round, the NFL, because you want to pick your team. You want to bet? So He's.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

He doesn't want to be drafted at this point. Okay, Lunchbox with that ninth call. Did you get called?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No. Some girl celebrating a birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

So you did not make it.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you have fun?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, my God, it was a blast. It was so freaking fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Even though you didn't get called?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Well, I mean, just the energy and the excitement and the anticipation of my name being called. But I didn't get on and maybe, like, re evaluating my scenario. Maybe I was too much. He finally realizes clicked.

[Amy]

We have to stop because we talked about this.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know if he got on yesterday. He'll check in later. Do we think he got on the show? Like, really, if you had to bet money, someone said, here's a free 100 bill. Do you think he got on the show? Amy?

[Amy]

I'm gonna say yes, because I'm trying to just be positive about the whole thing, so why not?

[Derek]

But what do you really think?

[Amy]

Yeah, that's what I really think.

[Bobby Bones]

So. But someone gave you, okay, a free $10,000 and said, bet on it.

[Amy]

Bet on it.

[Bobby Bones]

That money can only be used for betting. So it's not about a positive mojo. No sort of vibes. It's just if you're right, you get $20,000. If you're wrong, you lose it. What do you bet?

[Amy]

So if I say he didn't get on and he didn't, I get $20,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Someone gave you $10,000 to bet 10.

[Amy]

I know, but you said I get $20,000 if you win. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Why is everything complicated?

[Derek]

You just win the bet.

[Bobby Bones]

You just win the bet of $10,000, but you can't keep the $10,000.

[Amy]

Betting's hard for me.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. So what would you bet?

[Amy]

I'm still gonna bet on him.

[Derek]

Okay, Eddie, look, man, I'm gonna be realistic.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go. Okay.

[Derek]

And you're giving me $10,000 to bet on it? I'm saying he did not get in.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because.

[Derek]

Just because I think that he was so confused about what to do and how loud to be and how not to be. I think he just didn't do it.

[Bobby Bones]

I would bet he didn't get on, but not because of anything to do with him. All I'm doing is going with. They only pick eight or nine people. Like, the odds from that entire group. I'm just using data here. I think if it's just personality, they're looking for a wild and crazy guy. Like, he's the guy.

[Derek]

He's wild and crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

He is. You have a. Again, nine. They take nine people out of 300.

[Derek]

Yeah, that's. I mean, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The numbers are so I would bet no. And we have secret words that possibly he can say later in the show if he did get on.

[Derek]

Because the heavy favorite is no.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Derek]

Because of the numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can have low numbers, but you could actually lift the percentage. Like if you're so undeniable, because that's. You factor that in. Is he so undeniable?

[Derek]

Is he? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Raymundo, what do you think? Would you bet on it? Well, if I'm going the way they do it on game day, you never want everybody to say no or everybody to say yes. She's already said yes and we've said no.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right.

[Derek]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

It just seems like it's heavy weighted right now. It's two to one.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

You guys are saying no. Yeah, it's two to one. It's really not that heavy weighted. I think he gets on. Okay. A version of it. That makes no sense. He gets called down. Got it. But then doesn't take advantage of the opportunity. Correct. That would be.

[Amy]

That's.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be a nightmare for him.

[Amy]

So sad. I think. I think he'd rather not get caught.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too. I would rather not get called down than to get the call. And then bomb. We're talking with Lunchbox. It's day three of him going out to California trying to get on prices. Right. Day one, unsuccessful. Day two, unsuccessful. Day three, he was feeling it. Went all through the process. You're in the room, they start to play the music and they start to call people up.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so are you the first name they call?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Amy]

Okay, wait, how many are there again?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they call four or five the first round.

[Amy]

Four.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then it's nine total.

[Amy]

Just preparing myself for you. Being how many you're gonna do.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you the second?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And they're. They're doing the board underneath the camera.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you actually hear the names?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Because everybody's just screaming.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It is so loud in there. Just screaming and yelling and clapping and cheering.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That you literally don't hear them call a name.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're just watching them. Is it like a bunch of cards? And they flip one to the next? Like they've already gotten them all pre written.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Have it. They just flip one down.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're just hoping your name is.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You are just hoping to see your name.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And you. Me too. And you got your name tag on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. You got your name tag on your left side, like right here.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too, cuz I got three A's off to go do this and we've

[Amy]

dedicated a lot of time and he

[Bobby Bones]

was 100% sure he could get on. I still feel, I still feel like he's got a shot though, here.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

What do you mean? I'm still there? Like, we've only called two.

[Amy]

What? That's what we just said.

[Derek]

We're good.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

This is it.

[Bobby Bones]

They're going to call seven more people.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That's right.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

They do number three. Is it you?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

How are you feeling at this point?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just the first four.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It's the first three.

[Bobby Bones]

There's three. Okay, how about four?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, now it's four. So the first four is down there though. So now they're all singles after this, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Were people going crazy when they got their name called?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you jealous when that they were so.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I mean, I would have been.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And you're high fiving everybody like when you run, when they run down the aisle and around them and everybody acts so excited for them. But deep down everybody in that studio had to be thinking, crap, that's one less spot for me.

[Bobby Bones]

You had told us last week while you were in California that you were just happy to be in there and playing that day when you were like, it didn't matter if I got on the show. I was having such a good time. Are you feeling the same thing now,

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

day three after the first four names were called? No, this is. That is when it hit me. Like, oh no. Like I have five left. I have five shots left. Like I have been through 13 and I only have five left because nine the first day and four that today. Like I am. That's when it hit me when they started bidding on that first item up for bid and I was just like, oh my gosh, it's a real possibility. I'm not going to get on.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's the first time that set in.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Even though.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Because your personality is freaking.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oozes charisma, oozes awesomeness. I thought I was a no brainer.

[Bobby Bones]

Shoo in shoe in, same first overall draft pick. As soon as they start picking people.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

100%.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I was 100% before I left for LA. I told you guys, I am 100%. No doubt getting on this show.

[Bobby Bones]

Did when you didn't get on day one make you think maybe you wouldn't get on any other day though?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I Just thought maybe I was too much with my cell phone.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Did you. Was there like a ratio again? Were you looking at like men versus women? White guys, black guys. Yeah, I think it was Hispanic. Like, you know, because they like to have a mix.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. I think the first four on the third day were two men and two women. So it's 50. 50.

[Bobby Bones]

How many whities?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

One white.

[Bobby Bones]

Perfect. You're still in the mix then.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody wider than you, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No one wider than me. Well, one white male, one white female.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. You're still in.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so fifth person. That's. It's, it's time for that one. That's single.

[Derek]

Come on, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep, yep, yep, yep. And.

[Price is Right Announcer]

And Jasmine Torino.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, not me.

[Amy]

Okay, Jasmine.

[Bobby Bones]

So five down, only four to go.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Only four to go.

[Bobby Bones]

The odds are forever. Not in your favor now, cuz that's more than 50% of the day.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, it's starting to shrink.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Are you starting to feel a little, little miserable inside now?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm starting to. I. I'm not cheering as loud like I am. Like, this sucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Next name.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Next name. Not my name.

[Derek]

What number was that?

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be number six. We have three left.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you feel like.

[Amy]

Wait. And also, his demeanor in the room is changing.

[Derek]

Oh, I know. And they see that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but they've already picked the names. I don't think they're switching names while everybody's in the room.

[Amy]

No, I mean in this room right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but he could be luring us into something.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You have three names left.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So then they call the seventh name.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And that individual was sitting right in front of me on the road. In front of me.

[Bobby Bones]

No way. Two names left. Dang. I mean, also, it also gets tough because if you're one of the last two names, you don't have as many opportunities to get up on stage.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, boy. Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like he said on the first day, if he had been at this point, he wouldn't want.

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't want to get up.

[Geico Gecko]

Right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But on day three, I didn't care. I just want to hear my name. Yeah, I just want to hear my name.

[Bobby Bones]

So that a.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But can I just say, deep down at this moment, when it's the row in front of you, like the seat in front of you. I think I'm not getting on because you're.

[Derek]

They've been picking from all over.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So they're not going to pick two right next to each other, right? Yeah. Yeah. Any other white men?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, there Was one more white male. I think he was number eight.

[Bobby Bones]

The next person up was a white dude.

[Amy]

There's one more left.

[Bobby Bones]

So now we're at number nine. You got one name.

[Amy]

So nine. And a white guy just went right before him.

[Derek]

And that white guy wasn't you?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, it wasn't me.

[Amy]

Okay, but he didn't have a tux on. And lunchbox did.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you the only tux in the room?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Only tux in the room. Only tux.

[Bobby Bones]

Ninth name.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

A lot of graphic tees with slogans and pictures.

[Derek]

Everyone does that.

[Amy]

Number nine. Feeling fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go. It's your last shot. You only get one shot. And so they have that ninth card.

[Derek]

Come on, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Now I'll just let you say what you want to say. I don't know how to set you up because I don't know what you know, so go ahead.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And that ninth name, they flipped down that card. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Price is Right Announcer]

And it says, samantha, come on down.

[Amy]

You're definitely not Samantha.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And she jumps up and she runs up there and she has a shirt on that says, hey, Drew, let me spin the wheel. Like my mom. And it has a picture of her mom from, like, the 90s spinning the big wheel. I was like, that's a creative shirt. Like a family tradition. And then I sat there in my seat.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So how much fun is it once you know you're not getting on?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, I'm ready to leave. I'm like, can we though, right? No, you can't just leave. Like, there's nowhere to go.

[Amy]

So how long is it, man?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I sat there for another 30, 35 minutes.

[Derek]

Must have felt like a week.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you miserable?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Miserable?

[Bobby Bones]

So what, what was the worst part about it? That you didn't get on or you have to come back and tell us you went and took a three day vacation that was for free. Not even taking it from your vacation days. And you didn't get on the show after. You for sure were gonna get on the show and told us we were stupid for saying it's harder than it looks.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I mean, it's a combination of both. It's a combination of not getting on. And then I was like, I'm gonna have to go back with my tail between my legs and tell these people that I did not get on. And everybody that called in and was like, I hope you don't get on. They got their wish. And I am just like, I think

[Amy]

that many people said that.

[Derek]

Who said, I don't remember anyone.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a single person rooted against you?

[Amy]

Honestly, we had Callers that were sharing their experience, giving him tips. Yes, it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, not one person, I don't recall this, the weeks leading up to this said they didn't want him to get on.

[Derek]

It's funny how he sees that.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Amy]

It's like he has his own little filter.

[Derek]

Sorry, man.

[Bobby Bones]

You were not coming on down. You're getting on Outbox.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Get on out.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, man. Yeah, man. Price is right. Yeah. Shout out.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll continue.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But you get. But, hey, April 2, that one will air my birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, birthday episode. For my birthday, you didn't get on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So March 31, you can see me. And April 2, you might be on camera. Just crowd. You still gotta watch. Yeah, we still gotta. We still.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, can't wait to watch you

[Derek]

as an extra on your birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

On my birthday.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Making plans now. Big day today. I almost forgot. This is day one of Lunchbox getting on Price Is Right.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow. Today. So 31st.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, today's it.

[Bobby Bones]

What time? Locally?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

10.

[Bobby Bones]

Where we are. Okay, we'll still be here.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

We may be on YouTube at that point, doing the show live. No, we have a client meeting. Oh, my God. We got a client meeting right at 10.

[Amy]

Well, and they want to come in

[Bobby Bones]

and watch Prices right with us.

[Derek]

Yeah, that's a good idea.

[Amy]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a theory. Lunchbox gets on the show. Hey, would you play that voicemail, Ray, please?

[Caller/Listener]

I have a theory on the Price Is Right. I think that Lunchbox gets on the second day. He wants us all to watch the first day for his audience participants, and then he gets on the second day. I think this is a bit. Because I think the best bit that I have heard from you guys is when Abby said that she had found diamonds when they were out digging for diamonds. And she had everybody fooled, but that was a fantastic bit. So I think he's trying to up that. Anyway, have a great day. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

For those that don't know what's happening. So Lunchbox months ago said, hey, can I get off work to go try to get on Prices right? Me being the ever so loving leader I am, I said, absolutely, go. And don't worry about taking vacation days. Just call us. We'll make it into a couple segments. So he goes out for multiple days. He stands in line all day for the first day. I got in, but I didn't get on. We're like, oh, we were sad for him, but he had other days. He goes on the couple's day without a partner and they kick him out.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, because that just Wasn't going.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It was Valentine's episode. I didn't have a. Didn't make sense plus one.

[Bobby Bones]

Then he goes back for the third day, and I didn't get on. And we're like, dang, that was fun. You had a good experience. But I started to think he couldn't tell us if he got on. And this would be one of the greatest bits ever. If he got on, he got on.

[Amy]

I mean, I'll be so impressed.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too, man. You nailed it. And. And my birthday is. Let's say he doesn't get on today. My birthday's Thursday. Yeah. The day that he gets on. If he doesn't get on today, what a gift would.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

That would be for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my goodness.

[Derek]

Lunchbox. That would be amazing, man.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're gonna watch.

[Amy]

I mean, it's giving employee of the year vibes.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, for sure.

[Derek]

If he pulls this off.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You know what's crazy is I told you that Maryland girl that I got her number, she is the screen grab

[Bobby Bones]

for YouTube for today's prices, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. Tune in today. There she is. She texted me, and she goes, Look, I made YouTube.

[Amy]

Y' all still text?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. She's 80.

[Bobby Bones]

How old does she get?

[Game Show Announcer]

She's 80.

[Derek]

Cause she got called up.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She got called up.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

He's looking. He's lying.

[Amy]

His face is so weird. How are you so close to Marilyn who got called up?

[Bobby Bones]

You guys are probably like, I got called up too. I wish I was a screen grab.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She was in line with, like, around me. Like, there's a group of, like, 40 or 50 that you're in line with that you sit in chairs and you move to each stage with. And she happened to be the row in front of me. And she was there with her daughter and her mother.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, her mother. She's 80.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She's 80. But her mother's pearls. That's what she brought her mother.

[Amy]

She was there in spirit.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes. Her mother had got up there with Bob Barker, and so that's what she said. And she goes, so I'm here to get up there with Drew.

[Bobby Bones]

And my mom got up there. Really?

[Amy]

That's a great story.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how you get on.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She had a picture of her mom with Bob Barker on the front of her shirt, and it was her and her daughter on the back. And she said, I'm here to meet Drew. And she had her mom's pearls. And she told that to the director. And I was like, oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We started to say lie about a story. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So I kind of hope it's not today, but I do hope he gets on. But we have a client meeting, then we have an interview recording right after that. And how we'd watch it. Hey, did he get on Price is Right? We've been in frigging meetings and interviews.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Did anybody watch it? Anybody see him in the crowd?

[Derek]

Lunchbox. I didn't think about that.

[Amy]

If he was really gonna be on it, he would figure out a way to, like, make us.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I mean, we went. Amy and I had a meeting for half an hour with a client. I didn't. You guys didn't, like, put it up on your phones or anything?

[Derek]

No, I was editing videos. Like, I didn't think about it.

[Amy]

Lunchbox. Did you watch for yourself in the crowd?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't know how to watch them. I don't have that ability.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me check my DMs. Did you see anything, Mike? Nah, I tried to watch it, but

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Hulu's blocked on the Internet here.

[Derek]

Oh, really?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Says Lunchbox got on the prices. Right? I'm watching today's episode, and he's on it. And got on stage, and he got on the final Showcase Showdown.

[Amy]

Is someone just messing with you?

[Bobby Bones]

Rachel Campbell messaged me that my DM Lunchbox.

[Amy]

Did you get on?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Amy]

Why are you acting so calm? This is why.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I don't know. I mean.

[Derek]

Wait, is it April Fool? What day? Oh, okay.

[Amy]

Tomorrow is April Fool.

[Derek]

Tomorrow is.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see Daniel on the Price, Right? Who's Daniel? Oh, he's Daniel. So what happened?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Look.

[Bobby Bones]

Look on the left. So which one do you hit?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I never said I hit.

[Derek]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

No, someone just said you're on the Showcase Showdown.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, did you hit. What did I hit?

[Game Show Announcer]

Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

You made it on the Jimmy Choo shoes. The Jimmy Choo shoes?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, no, that wasn't it. I. I won a trip to Temecula, California. That's what I hit on. On.

[Bobby Bones]

On the intro part.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

On the intro part? Yeah, on that roll.

[Bobby Bones]

What game did you play?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I played two right, one wrong, and they have three prizes.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we have that?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, we don't have that yet.

[Derek]

No, we don't have it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

We'll have it tomorrow.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Bobby Bones show.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

You know how good it feels to get that off my chest?

[Bobby Bones]

Were you. Were you getting annoyed when I was predicting you were on it?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I was just like, shut up. Like, I was trying not to bring it up, man. I was trying not to bring it up anymore because you guys had left it in the past. Like, because I. I was a loser and I sucked and like, I didn't get on. And I was like, great. You know what I mean? It's cool. Like, the less we bring it up, the less more I gotta lie and you gotta look at my facial expressions and that's great.

[Derek]

It's pretty cool, man.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome, dude.

[Derek]

Congratulations.

[Bobby Bones]

Tomorrow we'll have a lot more to talk about and think about because again, this just. I was confused of who Daniel was. Honestly, this is not April Fool's joke because we talked about it on the podcast yesterday, but Lunchbox did make it on the Price is Right. So not an April Fool's joke. You had a viewing party.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I had a viewing party last night. It was amazing. So many people is so loud. I mean, we had to turn the subtitles on because I thought the kids wouldn't want to watch it. But all the kids came in and they wouldn't shut up.

[Bobby Bones]

So a little bit of spots blown up because you hear his real name again.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And he hides that. So just so everybody knows, his name's. I'd never heard him called Daniel before.

[Amy]

Just Dan.

[Bobby Bones]

Because yesterday we literally didn't think he got on. I thought maybe he got on. It was a bit, but I really still didn't think he got on. And so during the podcast People started messaging me, and they said Daniel got on the Showcase Showdown. And I'm like, I don't care. Who's Daniel? We want Lunchbox to get on. And that is Lunchbox. And so this is them calling down Daniel. Right.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

This is the first time I've heard it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Oh, you haven't heard. What about at home?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

It was so loud that I couldn't even hear it.

[Amy]

He saw the subtitles.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I saw the subtitles.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Okay, Here you go.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Here it comes.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

From Hollywood television's most exciting hour and

[Price is Right Announcer]

hits the Price is Right. Daniel Chapel, come on down.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're the first one out of the gate.

[Price is Right Announcer]

First one out of the gate.

[Amy]

That's insane.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, relaxing. Maybe that's not. How. How much of a relief is it huge that you were the first one out of the game?

[Price is Right Announcer]

Huge.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Because when you're sitting in the audience before and you're talking to everybody. Run. You're like, man, I just hope I get called. I hope I get called. Oh, my gosh. And they start the show, and it's like, there's no way you're gonna be the first one. You never think you're gonna be the first one. And they said it, and I still didn't even know I was the first one. And then they did the cue card under the camera.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you couldn't hear that either?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, because everybody's screaming, and everybody's jumping up and down. And I sat there, and I looked at the name, and it took about a second, and I was like, that's me. And the lady in front of me, Marilyn, she turned around before I even noticed it was me. And she was, like, pointing at me.

[Price is Right Announcer]

I was like, it's me. And I went crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

So, okay, they call. How long are you sitting there before they call any names?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

35 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a long time because they got

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

to shuffle all 200, like, 15, 220 people into the studio, and they have to tell you where to sit. So there's a lady at the back, and then there's two people in each aisle. One in each aisle. And they'll say, go see her. She'll tell you where to sit. And they boom. And they put you where and they spread you out, because I guess they want people to get called up from every section of the crowd. And so they don't want all the people getting called up in one section.

[Amy]

That makes sense.

[Caller/Listener]

I think this is 10 out of 10. That lunchbox kept it a secret from at least us, the listeners. I have to know did he keep it a secret from y', all, too? Did you really have no idea? This is just so great. Great comedy, guys. Wonderful job.

[Bobby Bones]

No idea. Because I wouldn't have revealed it how I revealed it if I had known. There'd have been a massive buildup to it. I. We were literally doing the podcast live on YouTube yesterday. You can watch the clip. Nobody thought he got on. And I'm going into my DMs because we had one. We had a client meeting right at 10 when price is Right started right when the show ended. Then we went into an interview at 10:30-11 that we recorded and went back and did the podcast. And I was like, oh, did anybody see Lunchbox in the crowd?

[Amy]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

And I thought there would be pictures of Lunchbox in the crowd. And that's when people were like, daniel got on the show. Okay, who the crap's Daniel? So all of that played out live on the podcast yesterday. We had no idea.

[Amy]

No idea.

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't say anything to us.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No. And here's the thing. Before I went, we talked about this, guys. You guys said, hey, I know you're not allowed to say, so when you come back, we're going to ask you if you want to go travel anywhere. And I was gonna do Papua New Guinea. I forgot Papua New Guinea.

[Derek]

I remember that clip.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Papua New Guinea.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't want him to reveal it. I didn't ask him that on purpose, because whatever it was, I wanted it to be regardless. Him in the crowd or him on the show, a surprise.

[Amy]

I swear, if you would have asked him if he's traveling anywhere and he said Papua New Guinea, I'd be like, cool. When are you going? I cannot remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

So you go down and you're on Contestants row.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

And a little bit of this we did yesterday, but it was such a blur. So I'm going to ask again. If I'm asking twice, I'm a dum dum. You go down and how many games did you lose before you actually got to go up?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I lost three games.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you starting to give up?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I started to panic. I started to freak out that I am about to choke this opportunity away. That I was the first name out of George's mouth.

[Bobby Bones]

That's his name?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, that's his name.

[Amy]

That's his sidekick.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, he's the one that does the announcement. He's up in the little booth. And I was like, oh, my gosh. And I literally sat down while they were doing one of the games, and the guy sitting in the Front row. He's like. I was like, dude, I'm choking. He goes, are you lunchbox? He started freaking out. He's like, I'm here. Me and my wife got tickets because you guys were talking about it. And he was like, you'll be fine, dude, you made a contestant row. Who cares? And I was like, no.

[Bobby Bones]

He goes, that have been the worst because we said that if you made it to contestants row and didn't make the stage, that would have been worse than not making it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I agree. And he goes, yeah, Bobby may give you a hard time. And then I looked at Maryland, my 80 year old friend. I said, what am I doing wrong? She goes, you're not looking at me for help. And I said, okay, I'll look at you for help. And we stand back up and they said. And Drew says, george, give me another name. And he says, maryland, come on down.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you sitting in a place in the audience that you felt was advantageous to getting down there quickly?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I mean, I was on the aisle.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, see, I felt like, oh, I'm on the aisle. This is awesome.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But there are so many aisle seats.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Anybody else in the aisles get called down? Maryland Classic Maryland.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She was right in front of me on the aisle. And no, no, the other aisle people, I think they were all a few seats in.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't watch the show after everybody left by yourself? No. Your house. Because I think I would have like spent a minute with it. Did you watch the clip that. I mean, we all reposted it last night. Did you watch that clip?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I've seen that clip.

[Amy]

Yeah, but even in that clip, it's not like I was. I wanted the part of Daniel come on down. And it wasn't in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you wish they would let you do Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Wait, why wouldn't they?

[Bobby Bones]

That's real name. You can't do nicknames.

[Derek]

Ask them to.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Or Big Hog.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, Dan. Like we get to pick our nicknames on the show. Well, I don't know.

[Amy]

At school they say, what do you

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

want to be called by this in school? And they write, they just take your ID and they write what's on the id?

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. They offer the trip is a trip to Temecula.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Temecula, California.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, he hits that. He does the $1 thing over Maryland. His friend, he turned on her quick.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Turned on her. Man, you got to be ruthless when you are there, you're there for yourself. I mean, you met these people an hour ago.

[Bobby Bones]

He goes up and this is him talking to Drew for the first time when he hits it with like $641

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

or something, it was 651, was it? No, it was 1,000.

[Amy]

Just kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

Idea.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

250.

[Bobby Bones]

That wasn't in the clip.

[Amy]

Oh, well, I thought with Marilyn, she said 650 and he went 651.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, no, because the trip to make it to California was like $3,300. She bid 12 $49, I believe, and I bid 1250.

[Amy]

Well.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she gave you that dollar hole.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Numbers are hard.

[Bobby Bones]

This lunchbox going up to talk to Drew Carey for the first time.

[Price is Right Announcer]

I'm great.

[Game Show Announcer]

Where you from? Where you from, bud?

[Price is Right Announcer]

Nashville, Tennessee.

[Game Show Announcer]

Nashville, Tennessee. What do you do?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I work for the Bobby Bones Show. We're a morning radio show.

[Price is Right Announcer]

And I came by myself because this has been a dream. And do you believe in miracles?

[Game Show Announcer]

Did they. Are you. Are you like the sidekick guy?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I've been to jail for the show. I am shocked.

[Derek]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a fun laugh.

[Game Show Announcer]

This poor guy, Give him something good. Gotta beat an 80, Daniel.

[Amy]

I mean, his laugh, that's so good.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's a play me voicemail number four. Because we run out of time, I wanna make sure we get to the big stuff here.

[Caller/Listener]

First lunchbox. The first name called and made it to the Showcase Showdown. Most entertaining episode of the Price is Right ever. I can't believe he made it on Bobby. I can't believe you called it. This deserves employee of the year.

[Bobby Bones]

I did not call it. I suspected how he was acting because he wanted to avoid it. That he pro that something happened. So a few weeks ago, I was like, I think he made it. I wish I wouldn't have said that.

[Amy]

Well, even your suspicion. I was like, no. I don't know why Bobby's acting like he pulled this off. There's no way.

[Bobby Bones]

If we would have known. This is another thing. If we'd have known, I would have never started to predict that he made it because I would have wanted it to play out better.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But for me, I'm going. I think he made it because if he didn't, that was a fun bit too, that we waited up until it and then he didn't get on. So you went on and the game was worth. I saw part of the game. There were like three things.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes, there was three items. There was three pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes, a home gym and a desktop computer. And there was three prices. There was a price in front of each item. Two prices were correct, one price was wrong. And I had to Pick which one was wrong, and I win all three.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Bad Drew.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I wish I worked out more, but

[Price is Right Announcer]

I'm about to start working out when I win this. Give me number two.

[Game Show Announcer]

Number two, Devin Goda. Anything with $4128.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Winner.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Ready?

[Game Show Announcer]

One, two, three.

[Bobby Bones]

How did that feel?

[Price is Right Announcer]

Oh, my God, it was so great. It was so great. Like, it is so cool to win the game.

[Derek]

And then you gave one of the girls a hug.

[Price is Right Announcer]

I did. I ran right after the girl.

[Bobby Bones]

So in the last segment, Launchbox got called down. Very first. It took him three rounds to get up on stage. He hits the game, and now it's where you grab the wheel and you spin the wheel. And because you'd won the most, you were third.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, because the other two lost. So I was the big winner for those three games. I got to spin last.

[Bobby Bones]

And so he had to beat 80 cents. Oh, they both had hit 80 cents. That's the great part about going third, right? You get to see what other people do.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. You know what you need?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so here's lunchbox spinning the wheel for the showcase. It's two different spins.

[Game Show Announcer]

Got to beat an 80. Daniel. Good luck, buddy.

[Bobby Bones]

Daniel. Daniel's lunchbox.

[Derek]

By the way,

[Game Show Announcer]

You want to say hi to someone?

[Price is Right Announcer]

Yeah, I want to say hi to my three boys, my wife, American, all my dogs back at the crib, mom and dad, brother and sister, nieces and nephew. Let's go. Give me a dollar.

[Game Show Announcer]

85's gonna sue. 31 more spin.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay, pause, pause. What are you thinking when you only got 30?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'm thinking this is gonna take a miracle. This is gonna take a miracle.

[Bobby Bones]

What did it almost land on 85?

[Amy]

Oh, it went.

[Bobby Bones]

It did. Like the wheel when it goes.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And you know what? I first thought I was like, I don't have good luck with wheels. The wheel in the studio always lands on me. It gives me bad luck. It gives me nightmares. Ptsd. And so I was like, man, I could have just had one spin been done. But no. Here we go. We need a miracle, folks.

[Bobby Bones]

You need at least 50 to go to tie. Yep, 55 or more to win.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go.

[Game Show Announcer]

85 is going to sue. 31 more spin, please.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

50. Come on.

[Price is Right Announcer]

60.

[Game Show Announcer]

70 for a 90.

[Price is Right Announcer]

60. Stop, stop.

[Bobby Bones]

Let him scream.

[Game Show Announcer]

Got a bendy.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Oh, my God.

[Game Show Announcer]

So you're allowed to have a donut? If you're on a diet, you might have a donut. Help yourself. You just got a bendy on the wheel. Check us out on Facebook. We're at the prices.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right.

[Game Show Announcer]

Cvs.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

By the way, he's in a full tux, just so you can visualize it as in a full tux.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But when it got to 60, it went all the way through the 60

[Price is Right Announcer]

and all the way up and.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, and then came back down like it was an inch from clicking over to 15 cents, and my life would have been curtains. It would have been over.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think the wheel was heavier than you thought it was? Lighter than you thought it was?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Lighter than I thought it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you probably gave it a big heave ho and it went.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah. And because I saw the one lady in front of me, she fell down because it was so heavy. And I was like, oh. And I thought Marilyn. They were worried she was going to need help, but she did a great job. And then I got up there, I was like, oh, I did it because I always worried, man, what if I don't get it all the way around?

[Amy]

That'd be embarrassing.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, it'd be embarrassing.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we are now at the Showcase Showdown, and we're going to. I'm going to pair. I'm going to give you a brief recap of what he told us yesterday. He gets on, you're against a woman. What does she win?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

She won a trip to Banff.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's cool. Okay, so Lunchbox is playing this woman, but she had won a bigger thing than he had won.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So she gets to decide in the Showcase Showdown. And they're like, here's a trip to Thailand. Here's a trip. And she's like, pass.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, it was a trip to Thailand, a trip to Greece, a trip to New Orleans.

[Bobby Bones]

She passed it to Lunchbox. So Lunchbox is Showcase Showdown in a tuxedo, One of the two people up on stage. And so this is Lunchbox guessing the price of those three trips. Right? That's this clip, Right? There's no reveal of the numbers yet?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you didn't pull the clips.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I didn't pull the clips.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, just hit the clip, Daniel, Come on.

[Game Show Announcer]

You also bid 32,000.

[Price is Right Announcer]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, this is the end one. Okay. Okay, so you had bid on those three trips. How much?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

$32,000.

[Bobby Bones]

And her? It was a couple crappy things, like a bunch of old, you know, T shirts, nostalgic T shirts. What else was it?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Pac Man Arcade game. And then the big one, four DVDs and a brand new Ford Bronco.

[Bobby Bones]

So she was waiting for the car. Yeah, because she wanted the car. So what did she bid on that $32,000. And her number came up and it was 41,000 something.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So she was off by 9,000, but she was below.

[Bobby Bones]

So she's still in the game.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yes. And you know what? It's funny. I'm just. Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, tell me what's funny.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I'll tell you after. I'll tell you after.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so she's still in, but he's bid on his trip 30.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

$32,000.

[Bobby Bones]

So as long as he doesn't go over, pretty much, he's going to nail this. All right, hit it, Daniel, Come on.

[Game Show Announcer]

You also bid $32,000 for a trip to New Orleans, trip to Greece, trip to Thailand. Actual price is 31. 301. Just over. Just over by $699. Sorry, man. Ah, you missed it by 6.99. He was closest, but he was over.

[Amy]

Oh, that is hard to hear.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, man.

[Derek]

And then what did he do?

[Bobby Bones]

He.

[Game Show Announcer]

I.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they show you falling on the ground?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, I collapsed, man.

[Bobby Bones]

They show it?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, they showed it. They showed it.

[Bobby Bones]

So what were you about to say then?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

The funny thing is, after we bid, there's a break because they got to go with them back and get all the cards and everything. And she looks at me and she goes, what did you bid? And I said, 32,000. She goes, oh, no, I definitely lost. She goes, because I bid 32,000. You're going to win. She thought she had lost.

[Derek]

Interesting.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And so in my emotion, I was like, oh, my gosh, I just won the Showcase Showdown. When she bid 32,000, I. I also thought, oh, it's curtains, boys and girls. I am going on an airplane.

[Amy]

How does it work? Like, she did 32,000 and then you guessed. Did you know she had guessed?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I guessed first.

[Amy]

Oh, you guessed first. Okay, that's weird. They guess the same thing, right?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But it was devastating, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I don't think it should be devastating. You got on the stage, you gave yourself the best opportunity, and then you won. You won the mid level and then you won the will spin.

[Amy]

Yeah. This is so epic. Maybe lunchbox, you will now realize, like, the world isn't against you.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

And let me tell you, I played the entire game. That is your goal. The goal is to win. But I got to play every step of the way. And it was amazing. And you know what's crazy is when the credits were rolling for the first time ever and Price is right, they had a camera on me side stage. They showed me, like, devastated. I didn't know the camera was. I was. Because they take you off the stage.

[Bobby Bones]

You were devastated.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, I was just back there going, oh, because it was $600. And so. And I didn't know it, but you watch the show and as the credits are rolling, they get away from the winner, and they show me backstage, like, covered my face for the first time in history.

[Bobby Bones]

How hard was it not to tell people? And how do you know?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

First time in history, someone online said

[Bobby Bones]

that, okay, how hard was it not to tell everybody?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

So hard. So hard. I had to come up with, like, ideas on what I was going to say, like, to you guys the next day when you're like, so what happened? I was like, man, I've got to have a story about the next two days of what I'm going to tell them and what's going to go on and in my head and, like, how did it go down? And. And so I just. And I saved a few pictures, like, and I waited to post, and I was like, all right, this is, you know, when I'm here, day three. So that way I'm not going to have my phone out as much because I didn't want to give it away. It was just so hard. I mean, every day I thought someone was going to say, hey, man, did you really get on? No, man, no. And people ask you, all you guys bring it up. And callers leaving voicemails. I'm like, gosh, stop leaving voicemails, please, because the more you bring it up, the more someone's going to look at me.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you like that we were tied up when the show was on yesterday? No. Well, because again, we had a client meeting right when the show was on locally, so we didn't. We weren't able to watch it because we. And then we went right into that into something else. And so I didn't even check if he got on, which, again, I was just looking for crowd pictures of him in the crowd until, like, 11. We're still up here doing the. On our YouTube page.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Yeah, no, I wish you guys would have. We could have turned it on, watched it live. Yeah. Because your reaction would have been phenomenal. Phenomenal.

[Derek]

I see that.

[Amy]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

It also sound like he's going phenomena. Phenomena. We will talk more about this today in our Part two podcast, which is only on the podcast feed, but is. Where does this rank in your life moments?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Number two, behind Prom King.

[Bobby Bones]

No, this can't be behind Prom King. This is better than Prom King.

[Derek]

You got to move on, dude. Move on.

[Bobby Bones]

We. You don't. We don't get to Pick your order. You get to pick your order. And if that's your instincts as prom king, then stick with it.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

But it was. I gotta be honest, to hear Drew Carey laugh like that when I was on stage, like, that was pretty awesome.

[Amy]

I bet that's first time.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Like, he was keeled over.

[Derek]

Like, yeah, he was.

[Bobby Bones]

Does he use a small mic? Like, thin mic, like Bob Barker?

[Amy]

He does, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that like an homage to Bob Barker? Like, he still uses that because Bob did.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

I think it looks better on tv, too. And they said. Oh, no, this is what they said. I remember them saying this. They use it because a big mic is intimidating. They found a lot of people got scared, like, tensed up. When there's a big mic, when it's very small and thin, like, it's not as intimidating.

[Bobby Bones]

That is awesome. It's crazy, the whole. How the whole thing played out. Did you even go up for Double Day?

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Valentine's Day. Yeah.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Valentine's Day was the same day that I was there. They filmed three episodes in the day, so I saw all the Valentine's Day people.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to make something clear too. Hey, Scuba Steve. You didn't have a connection that got him on? People are now.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

Oh, yeah. No, there's no.

[Bobby Bones]

People are saying that you had a connection. Did you have a connection? No.

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

No, I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

You did not. And I didn't have a connection. I didn't pull any strings. I don't know anybody to pull.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

No, we just. We had the gut feeling of, like,

[Lunchbox (Daniel)]

if he goes out there and brings on. For easily going to get on.

[Game Show Announcer]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because what they're looking for is that, like, he. He fits all the different. He shows up in a tux. It's like, okay, that guy's.

[Bobby Bones]

Perfect score. One for Lunchbox.

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.
