Hear that? That's what it sounds like when you plant more trees than you harvest. Work done by thousands of working forest professionals like Adam, a district forest manager who works to protect our forests from fires.
Bobby Bones
Keeping the forest fire resistant. Synonymous with keeping a forest healthy. And we do that through planting more than we harvest and mitigate those risks through active management. It's a long term commitment.

Come on Bobby. Transmitting across America. Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show Morning Studio Morning Bones. Charging people for Thanksgiving dinner, now that is a new trend. So this is from Fox 5 New York.
Amy
The cost of Thanksgiving is getting so wild that some hosts are reportedly starting to charge their guests a fee just to cover the meal. And then get this. Some people even putting out a tip jar for extra contributions. Well, it's definitely controversial. You have to admit that groceries are getting expensive. So would you ever ask your family to pay for their plate of turkey and stuffing?
Bobby Bones
Tip jar is hilarious. Like, just for the joke. That's funny. Amy, what do you think here?
Amy
I mean, I'm not gonna do it, but whatever. It's fine.
Bobby Bones
I think if you say I'm the one hosting Thanksgiving, I don't think you have the obligation to do everything. I think you just have to set the rules early. You can't invoice somebody after Thanksgiving if they didn't. Like. Like, that can't happen. So I'm not somebody who's. Who's an absolutist. You absolutely can't invoice somebody for. For Thanksgiving if they didn't know they were going to have to pay for Thanksgiving. That being said, if you're like, hey, I'm hosting Thanksgiving. Everybody's bringing something is a way of having somebody pay. That's a different way because they're paying for the food, and they're bringing the.
Amy
Food instead of bringing something. Like, I'm thinking of a way that might make sense as, like, hey, I'm. I'm happy to host everybody at my house. Like, that would be awesome. Can we divvy up some of the responsibilities or. Yeah. Come up with a how we're going to divide all this, even financially. But I'm happy to host it instead of saying, I inviting everybody and then giving them a bill.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because it's the same. Or you say, hey, everybody, just venmo me 25 bucks.
Amy
Yeah, like, that's fine.
Bobby Bones
And I don't care what you do, except you can't charge afterward if you didn't tell. But, I mean, it's just easier to go, hey, everybody bring something. Yeah, that's the same thing as them paying money. Okay. That's number one. The other thing I wanted to mention was you guys were. And I never watched it, but only because I felt like you guys told me all about the Tinder swindler Netflix documentary.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay. He's suing.
Amy
Yeah. He's crazy.
Eddie
Well, of course he's the swindler.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
He's swindling.
Eddie
He's the con.
Amy
Yeah, he's the ultimate con man. And this is part of his con.
Eddie
Allegedly.
Amy
If I sue, it'll look like I'm innocent.
Bobby Bones
So. Okay, this is from tmz. TMZ asked him about it during this time. My lawyers currently there is no case literally like a false allegation and all the case has been dismissed and I have been released. Those allegations again, it's from 2017. This is the movie came out and 2022. So it doesn't mean any allegation in the same people. Women nowadays doing a lot of things in order to get famous. I think you were TMZ in order better than everybody else. No. Any woman gave me any money or gave me anything. On the contrary, I'm the one who gave them. They should not call me the Tinder swindler. They should call me the Tinder donor.
Raymundo
Nice.
Bobby Bones
Now, now, to be fair, like he said, the court did not hold him. He's not guilty.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
Then what did he swindle?
Eddie
No, because they couldn't. They couldn't charge him because they were done in all these different countries.
Bobby Bones
So give me 30 seconds of the Tinder swindler lunchbox. Exactly what he did, man.
Lunchbox
He would meet chicks on dating apps and he would wine and dine them and have them for a nice dinner. And then he would be like, oh, would you like to fly on my private jet to this other country? And they would go like, two days after meeting him, and then they would get to that country and he'd be like, oh, my enemies are after me. And he would flee the house and leave them there. And then he would just bilk them for money. Like, hey.
Bobby Bones
And he would sit, if they're trapped, why would they give him money? They trapped?
Lunchbox
No, he would like, I'll get you a plane home. And he'd get him home. But what he was doing is whatever money he was getting from one girl, he was using it on the next.
Bobby Bones
Girl to watch Ponzi scheme type stuff.
Commercial Voice 2
Yes.
Lunchbox
And like, he would send bloody pictures of him getting beat up. Like, my enemies are after me. Please help.
Eddie
It was the same picture of him in the back of an ambulance if.
Bobby Bones
He was found not guilty of swindling, because to me, he's the tender donor. I agree.
Lunchbox
Because they voluntarily. He didn't say, I need it for medical reasons. They were just saying, oh. He was like, I'll pay you back. I mean, these girls also would sell their houses.
Eddie
It was crazy that they were actually giving him the Money. Yes, it was.
Lunchbox
They would sell their houses so he could pay off his enemies.
Eddie
But this guy, man, if you went to his Instagram page, he's driving Lambos.
Lunchbox
It was awesome.
Amy
His watches, hilarious.
Lunchbox
What a great.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I never watched it because I felt like you guys gave me the gist of it.
Eddie
I mean, that's it.
Bobby Bones
But now he's saying he's gonna sue.
Lunchbox
Sue who?
Eddie
Yeah, he's not gonna win because he's broke.
Lunchbox
He doesn't have any money. His swindling is run out, so he needs money.
Eddie
He's found out, so he can't swindle anymore.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you don't believe that. You don't think anything's gonna come from that? No, I wanted to present it to you guys because I thought maybe you would admit you've been wrong about him.
Lunchbox
And the way he talked, it sounded just like the way he would talk to those women. Like, all the enemies, they're gonna hurt me. Please help.
Eddie
Did he say he was like royalty or something, or.
Lunchbox
I don't remember what he used.
Eddie
He had a storyline where he had money.
Bobby Bones
Did you admire his grift?
Eddie
Yes, Ray did.
Amy
I didn't.
Lunchbox
It was incredible, Ray.
Raymundo
It was diamonds. He said he was a diamond heir.
Eddie
That's it.
Raymundo
So he even had a website, and he almost just picked a website of a person that kind of looked like him. And so he played off of that.
Bobby Bones
And.
Raymundo
No, I was never jealous of it, but talk about a genius. The way that he was able to get him to donate this money, believe his stories, and then he kept it going for years, and he just kept jumping different countries. America be more tougher there. He would just go from country to country to country and. Jet set.
Bobby Bones
Do you think he's a bit more like the swinder swind? The Tinder donor?
Raymundo
No, he's definitely guilty, but I guess he's. If he's going after anybody, it's Netflix. The women.
Bobby Bones
That's who he's going after? Yeah.
Raymundo
The women are out the money, and a lot of the money was blown, so they're never gonna get that money back. But maybe Netflix only had one source, and maybe they got to get a couple sources.
Bobby Bones
Okay. We don't feel bad for him, though. No. Okay. Bones, when these people melt down at airports, does that make you feel uncomfortable?
Amy
Oh, well, I just feel. Oh, yeah. I feel awkward for them, and I hope they get the help they need, because clearly.
Bobby Bones
Or do you. Or do you feel sad?
Amy
Yes, I feel.
Commercial Voice
Yes.
Bobby Bones
What's your feeling?
Amy
My feeling Is they clearly have a lot of other things going on in life. And this was the breaking point.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
This is the straw that broke the camel's back. And they can no longer hold it together. So their meltdown is very public. And everybody has cameras at the airport, so everybody's filming them. Like, I prefer my meltdowns at home.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You can just go in your closet. Yeah. Or get in your pool with all your clothes on.
Amy
Or if my close circle witnesses it, you know, it's not public.
Bobby Bones
So this clip posted on TikTok Friday, shows a woman in white sweatpants and a green crop top breaking down. And this is a Southwest flight. Here you go.
Amy
I asked you why is our plane not boarding? And you told me that I'm kicked off.
Bobby Bones
Off.
Amy
Because you have a full flight and you need to get the seat to someone else. That's exactly what happened.
Bobby Bones
I have a different relationship with it. What.
Amy
What would that be?
Bobby Bones
Because I think yours comes from a place of empathy. I like that part of my relationship with this. I don't like it when they are talking to other people in a way that the other person feels like they're being attacked for no reason other than just doing their job. Because I had a bunch of jobs in service industry, and I get it. That people are. Yes. I hope they get help. But it's like, go. Go scream at the window. That person is just doing a job, making their wage, trying to go home, trying to have dinner with their kids, and they're getting screamed at.
Amy
Yeah. No, I mean that. It's all around just a horrible situation.
Eddie
Do you think they have training for that? Like the employees on how to deal with that?
Bobby Bones
I think they've had to now the same way that I think flight attendants have to have training now for when people just start peeing on other people. You know how we. I think they're probably trying. How do we tape someone to their seat?
Amy
Yeah. Because then it's a bad look if everybody's flipping out, if nobody's thinking rationally, then now the airline looks bad.
Bobby Bones
Well, those ones, too were the ones that the people like working the thing, start fighting with the person. There's been a couple of those where they just kind of blows. And then you're like, oh, man, Southwest guy. Why'd you punch that person? They were just having a meltdown. So then nobody wins. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That. That sucks. That's from tmz. I don't like that for anybody.
Amy
Yeah. I don't know. Even with road rage situations, like, I Try to ask myself, like, not what's wrong with them, but, like, what's going on with them? And I was trying to explain this to my. I think I've learned. I've had a new revelation about my boyfriend. He has a little bit of road rage. A little bit. A little bit. It got a deal breaker.
Bobby Bones
It got.
Amy
No, not a deal breaker. But I was a little caught off guard.
Bobby Bones
Like, I was like, oh, you saw it happen live.
Amy
He loves to, like, give people looks.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. We don't look at people. We don't give looks.
Bobby Bones
I feel like look is, like, the safest thing to do. You could give people the middle finger. That's the next step. Well, that's probably third. Second, if you put your hands up, like, a look is one, Hands up is two, middle finger is three. Wave the old guns. Four.
Amy
Okay, well, hands up with a look at the same time is dangerous.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Someone had pulled up. You know how. And I've done it too. You pull a little too far in the middle, and then someone's trying to make that left, and you're like, I'm. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pull up so far. And so I was up, and someone had parked right. Right in the middle. They couldn't get up far enough, and I need to go left. And they're just sitting there. And so I. They looked at me, and I looked at them, and I gave them the thumbs up. But now that I think about it, I think maybe they thought I was doing, like, a sarcastic.
Amy
Oh, aggressive.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, I thought that's what you were doing.
Bobby Bones
No, not at all.
Eddie
Like, good job, buddy.
Bobby Bones
I know. And that maybe. Cause I've done that too. And I did thumbs up like this. I went like this. I want that.
Amy
Like, Ooh, that looks a little aggressive.
Bobby Bones
I know. I know.
Raymundo
Looking at it now, I don't like.
Bobby Bones
How it makes me look. But what I meant was, you're okay. Like, I've done it too.
Amy
Yeah, I know it's tricky. Cause it's sort of like text messages are hard to understand sometimes, and road rage is hard to understand sometimes. Or, like, motioning things to people when they're.
Bobby Bones
I didn't have rage. I have rage.
Amy
I know you didn't, but just now, I saw your look, and I looked a little past the person, and I.
Bobby Bones
Saw me in the camera, too, and I was like, I don't think I would've liked me doing that if I was.
Eddie
Were you mouthing your Hood.
Bobby Bones
No, no, I said that's okay. Okay.
Lunchbox
That's okay.
Amy
Yeah, I know, but they're reading.
Bobby Bones
Watch again. Yeah, that's okay.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Ooh, it's tough.
Bobby Bones
Oh, it is.
Amy
Really? Because the windows are up. Sometimes there's a tent. It's hard. But that's what I was trying to explain. I was like, don't give the look. First of all, what if they retaliate? Second of all, we don't know what they're going through. Like, what if they're driving weird because they've got something going on?
Eddie
Most of the time they're late for something.
Bobby Bones
Most of the time, they just are on their phone.
Eddie
That too.
Amy
Okay, well, I just. I just get. Steer clear of them. Just get away from them.
Bobby Bones
Hey, that's okay.
Eddie
No, and isn't it funny that you always whisper it because you know they're not gonna hear?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Why waste my vocal cords? So there's no chance they took this as a. That's okay.
Amy
I mean, they may be. They may be watching.
Bobby Bones
That's okay.
Amy
It's like, why are you squinting your eyes like that? Because it's the eye squint.
Bobby Bones
Extra emphasis.
Eddie
You look mad, dude. Yeah, you kind of look mad a little bit.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Son of a.
Eddie
Doesn't work.
Bobby Bones
I was really trying to, like, put myself in their shoes because I've been in those shoes. America's favorite Thanksgiving pie. Oh, I'm not gonna tell you what you think it is.
Commercial Voice
Pumpkin.
Bobby Bones
I thought the same thing.
Eddie
It's not pumpkin.
Amy
Has it moved on to, like, pecan?
Bobby Bones
No, apple. So they pulled 7,000Americans. It's one of these food companies. Chocolate pie. I've had chocolate pie, and it's fine. I mean, I even like it. But with Thanksgiving, it's not traditional. Yesterday we had a little talk at the house about what I wanted for Thanksgiving, and I was told it wasn't traditional. That just because I get it at Cracker Barrel doesn't mean it's traditional for Thanksgiving.
Amy
What is it?
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Eddie
Guess.
Bobby Bones
Chicken.
Amy
Fried chicken. Fried chicken?
Bobby Bones
No, because I'll turkey it. I'll turkey it. So I have to eat dairy free. And I told my wife because we're going to Oklahoma. I told my wife, hey, don't. Don't tell your family anything. I'll just manage. I'll pick around. I don't want you to make anything extra for me because I hate being that I can't eat dairy. It's like the wimpiest thing about me. Well, now it's like 8th. The 8th wimpiest. Thing about me. But it's annoying because I don't want people to always having to make food for me because my little allergy. And so I said, don't do it. Don't say anything. She said, my mom doesn't mind. She'll make a few extra things. And he goes, what do you want specifically? And I said, okay, mashed potatoes. Because you can make those without butter. You can do it with a different kind of butter.
Commercial Voice
Sure.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. They have, like, weird butters that aren't even cow milk.
Eddie
I can't believe it's not butter.
Amy
Yeah, you could do. You could do.
Eddie
That's one that they do.
Amy
But also, a lot of people put like, Yeah, I don't like a cream in their mashed potatoes, but I can't do any cream. I know. That's what I'm saying. Like, you're basically just what, like a potato mash with, like, some salt and pepper?
Bobby Bones
It's literally just a hammer on top of a potato. So that. And then I said, I like cranberry sauce fresh. And she goes, okay, don't be saying fresh fresh. But there's no dairy in that, right? And then I said, I want fried okra.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And she was like, I don't think that's like, a traditional for. For us, but we'll get it. She was, but we don't normally make that. And I was like, but you asked me what I wanted. I wanted fried okra. And she said, okay, we'll go to Charlie's Chicken then and get some. Which is a fast food place that makes really good fried okra. Like, Oklahoma area.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Especially if you're not used to making it. I definitely pick it up.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys do fried okra at Thanksgiving?
Eddie
No. No.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
Never done that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she said they had never done it either, but she did say, what do you want? And I said, fried okra. And she said, this is not Cracker Barrel and cranberry.
Eddie
Fresh cranberry.
Bobby Bones
But that. That. That is a Thanksgiving cranberry. So.
Eddie
Yeah, but you're right. And some of it comes out of a can.
Amy
Yeah, but the. That's okay stuff, people.
Eddie
That's not fresh.
Bobby Bones
I can do the can, though. Yes, I can do that. But if you're asking me, I like it fresh.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, chocolate pie is the winner. The new America's favorite Thanksgiving pie. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I are having our second baby next year. We made a deal that my husband would name the first kid, which was a boy. I'D name the second, which is a girl. But this past summer, my husband's grandma died. It took it pretty hard because they were so close. She was in the picture more than his mom. He's brought up wanting to name our daughter after her to honor her. Do we stick to our agreement, or do I let my husband name our daughter after his grandma? Signed baby naming dilemma. First, I'd like to say condolences. And that sucks.
Eddie
Yeah, sucks.
Bobby Bones
I also had a grandma who raised me and when she died, destroyed me. She was my mom for a while. Illegally. She adopted me, and so, yeah, that sucks. No, no, it's your name, Mom. You get to name the baby.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
That was agreement.
Amy
I know it's the agreement, but sometimes you can pivot.
Bobby Bones
That's okay. You can pivot, but it's her right to pivot or not.
Amy
Sure. Yes, it is.
Bobby Bones
It is fully her right to pivot or not. And there should be no guilt. I think if you have a name you've already settled on, the grandma should be the second name.
Amy
Okay, yeah, you can work it in, like a middle name or a middle middle name.
Bobby Bones
I'm always up for a compromise, but the emailer of this has all the cards they can choose to do. Naming of the grandma, middle name of the grandma. I don't want any name because the agreement was. And I'm in the middle of our situation. We're trying to figure out names. So maybe I'm extra sensitive about this right now.
Amy
I'm like, wait, is there an agreement?
Bobby Bones
No, there's not an agreement, but it's just. It's just so permanent.
Amy
Oh, the name.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Forever Grandma died, and that sucks. I miss my. I miss my grandma sometimes. Like, when I think about it, I always. I guess you always miss her, but the longer someone's gone, the less that it's like a permanent part of the prep. Your presence.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
I just think in seven years, you're gonna probably want a different name. If you don't like grandma's name, a lot of it comes to what the grandma's name was, too.
Amy
Yeah, you can take grandma's name or grandma's middle name. Find a way. Grandma's last name sometimes makes a good middle name.
Bobby Bones
If baby Mildred happens. I don't know that that works for me.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, my grandma was Marilyn. That was. That loved her. That wasn't gonna work. Like, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't. But middle name is Elizabeth, which is where I got my middle name, and I love that.
Bobby Bones
So my solution isn't a solution. It is. You are the owner of the rights to that second baby's name. You get to choose what to do with him. Do not feel guilty. If you do not want to name the first name of that baby after his grandma, you can offer a middle name. If you think the name's fine, you can go with it, and that's great. But I'm just telling you, ain't no way.
Eddie
Why are you giving all the rights to her, though?
Bobby Bones
No, that's how.
Amy
That first agreement they had.
Bobby Bones
He got the first. That was their deal.
Amy
It was the deal.
Bobby Bones
And. And it was that.
Eddie
But they thought Grandma was going to live forever.
Bobby Bones
Oh, here's the thing. Grandmas don't. And I wish Grandpa's never died, wise man once said. But they do. We're all going to die.
Amy
Yeah, I get it. You can't just. A pivot is possible, but you can't just automatically throw in the towel to that just because. Because if it was switched and it was now his turn.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Amy
And then someone close to him passed.
Eddie
Away, it's kind of weird that they didn't want to name the kid after grandma when she was alive anyway. Like, now that they're dead, it's very.
Bobby Bones
Much a visceral reaction. Yes, I would say. But it's substantial emotional feeling. Anyway, cheers. You own the rights to it. Don't feel bad if you don't want to name it that, but I would go with the middle name or something like that. All right, there you go. Close it up. Do you know the three T's of Thanksgiving?

Bobby Bones
So this guy found gold in his backyard. Gold bars in the backyard. Whoa. Okay, listen to the story.
Amy
His family was planning on building a swimming pool in the garden of their home. Their dig was interrupted when they uncovered a plastic bag that contained five gold bars and a handful of gold coins estimated to be worth $1.2 million. Records show the gold was legally purchased about 20 years ago by the previous owner of the home, who has since died. Under French law, any treasure found on your property belongs to you. Unless someone can prove a legitimate claim. It appears there is a claim by the heirs of the man who bought it. So he may not get the cash.
Bobby Bones
That's from 10News AU Thoughts?
Lunchbox
Why would you go to the news, dude? Why would you even get it checked out? You've found the gold. Don't tell anybody.
Eddie
That's a great point.
Lunchbox
Like, why go bring publicity to it? Idiot. Idiot.
Amy
Yeah, like so dumb.
Eddie
It's pretty dumb.
Bobby Bones
What about the story of the guy who bought the storage unit? $7 million in cash in the unit. We talked about this and he ended up selling it for one and a half million dollars back.
Lunchbox
That's pretty smart.
Bobby Bones
Well, because he thought there was some nefarious acted. Because initially he buys the storage unit. Which lunchbox? And I bought a unit once.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we made money.
Eddie
Did you all make money?
Bobby Bones
We did. Profit. It took a year.
Lunchbox
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Amy
But.
Bobby Bones
So he bought the storage unit. For 500 bucks. And he discovered in the safe. And they had to hire people to come and crack the safe. The first person couldn't even crack the safe. They finally cracked the safe. There's $7.5 million in the safe. Wow. And so now he's like, oh, God, it's awesome. But at the same time, why is there $7 million in a safe in a storage unit? And so those people contacted him and they negotiated, and he ended up selling it back for $1.2 million.
Eddie
That's a win.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
The gold bars, though, man, that's what a blessing.
Bobby Bones
And then you go now because they're gone.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they're gone.
Eddie
But how is the.
Bobby Bones
It's like king Ralph with John goodman back in the day. He ends up randomly being like, the third cousin, the only one alive, and then next thing, he's the king. You remember that show, the movie?
Eddie
How is the family going to prove that those were his gold bars? Like, is there paperwork?
Bobby Bones
I would assume, because they said they were legally bought.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That would be so cool. There's got to be other bags of gold there, too, though.
Eddie
You just start digging up your whole yard.
Bobby Bones
There would be a backhoe in my yard. In three hours, the whole yard is just gone. There's this 18 karat gold toilet, a functional toilet that sold for $12 million. So it is a full gold toilet, and I guess you can pee and poop in it, but it's over $12.1 million. They thought it was going to be about $10 million. It weighs 223 pounds. It's fully gold. It's titled America. It was designed as a satire of extreme wealth. Visitors weren't allowed to use it as far as, like, well, peer poop in it, but they pay. It's literally just gold. All gold bars kind of melted into a toilet.
Eddie
Oh, but you can't use it.
Bobby Bones
No, it functions. They just wouldn't let them use it. Yes.
Lunchbox
12.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. 18 karat gold toilet. It looks awesome, obviously. And it sold for $12 million. That's from the New York Post. You have too much money if you buy that. Yeah. That would be so cool, though. To heaven, like, you have a party. Like, we had a weird bathroom at a house once you went in. And because the people before us had put in these weird strobe lights in the bathroom, like, and so you'd hit a buddy. Weird. We never removed them before we moved. It was just weird. Imagine, though, if it did that. Oh, and there were black urinals in there. It was Just a. Weird. It is weird. It felt like a club. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But imagine that wasn't there, and it was that gold toilet.
Eddie
Dude. There'd be a line of people trying to use the bathroom.
Bobby Bones
People be trying to steal it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
Officer Joseph Noonan was on patrol in Maynard, Massachusetts. Driving around when someone's waving their hands. Hey. Hey, Officer, we need some help. He pulls over, and she's like, hey, a truck crashed into a utility pole over there. It's on fire. We need your help. Officer jumps out, runs to the truck. There's already smoke in the cab, a little bit of flames coming from the hood. And he's like, sir, sir, I need you to get out of the truck. And the guy's like, what? Disoriented. And so finally, the flames start getting bigger, and he rips him out of the truck, and then, boom. Fully engulfed.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Was he got drunk or anything?
Lunchbox
No, I must have had a medical emergency. They said he was fine. They maybe lost control of the car, but he didn't even have to go to the hospital.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Yeah. Shout out for living. I always think when people are disoriented, like, I get scared that my ears are going to be ringing, and they're gonna be like. And I'm like, what?
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I'm like, okay. That's always going. And all they're saying is, take three steps to the right or it's gonna blow.
Eddie
And I'm like, what?
Bobby Bones
I said to the left. Boom. That's like my. I have an irrational fear of that. That whole scenario plays in my head.
Commercial Voice
Really?
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
You guys, don't think about that. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. I'm gonna give the lead singer, and you guys have to give the band. But, Eddie, we're not gonna play. Okay, but you can pick. Well, but how much you want to bet? I'll give you the pick and the amount of money you want to bet.
Eddie
$5, and I will go with Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Oh, dang.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
All right. So I just named the band.
Bobby Bones
No. So I. Yeah, I'll give both of you the lead singer and you name the band. You got five bucks on you? Come on. Yeah, I got cash. Why'd you pick Lunchbox?
Eddie
He secretly knows stuff about music. Especially, like, bands, like rock bands. He knows stuff about that.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Amy, good. Like, you represent me and. Five whole dollars.
Eddie
I know.
Lunchbox
I wish it was a little more confident. $5. Seems like you're not that confident in me, eddie.
Eddie
You want ten?
Bobby Bones
No, no, you get to pick. We're already 40 at five bucks.
Eddie
You sure you want. I can up it.
Bobby Bones

Lunchbox

Eddie

Bobby Bones
Feature horse?
Eddie
Hungry Bucks. Here, dude. Here, take a dollar. There you go.
Bobby Bones
Take a dollar. Feed your horse bone. This is not a bit. There was a time in our life on this show where Raymundo lived in our studio. He did not have a home. Now he was making enough money to have a home. I don't want you guys to think he was being underpaid because he had a full time producer job making a good salary. But he hid the fact he's basically squatting in this studio. And he would live underneath the. The console where all the buttons are. And he'd sleep under there on a couch in, like, our. Our green room. But before anybody came up, he'd get all dressed and act like he just got here early. He had mail that was coming to the building. Raymond, was any of this wrong?
Lunchbox
Correct.
Raymundo
And I still sometimes have mail sneaking through and getting through the front office.
Bobby Bones
So he lived here. How long did you use this as your permanent residence? A month.
Raymundo
I was just in between places.
Bobby Bones
So that means three months, right? If he's saying a month, that means three months.
Raymundo
My landlord lunch booted me out. I had nowhere to go.
Bobby Bones
You guys did live together. Did you kick him out?
Lunchbox
No, he said, I'm out. He moved out voluntarily, so I was there.
Bobby Bones
He moved out? He moved in here?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, he moved from you guys living together to the radio station.
Amy
Why are these stories so different? Like, Lunchbox is like. No, he chose to leave and raise. Like, he kicked me out. Which is it?
Eddie
Remember, there was a lot of drama.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox
We had.
Bobby Bones
They used to fight all the time where Ray wouldn't leave his bedroom.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And he slept on, like, a couch pillow upstairs. Like.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Eddie
Lunchbox. The dishes were never done. It was really dirty.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys regret living together?
Raymundo
I thought it was awesome. He gave me a great rate and I could pay rent late.
Bobby Bones
That's a good rule. Pay whenever you want.
Eddie
I mean. Yeah.
Raymundo
And we did some damages and he never charged me. So thanks with the fridge and Stuff on the ceiling.
Eddie
The fridge on the ceiling.
Raymundo
There was, like, a leaky fridge?
Eddie
No, no.
Lunchbox
Ray. Because he didn't ever want to leave his bedroom. Bought a fridge for his room.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
And it was leaking. It was leaking through the ceiling, and it tripped down.
Raymundo
Oh, no.
Amy
Did it cause mold?
Bobby Bones
Did you own the place?
Lunchbox
No, no, no.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you guys rented it?
Lunchbox
Rented.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And so you kicked him out?
Lunchbox
No, never kicked him out. He voluntarily left. So then I had to find a new place to live.
Bobby Bones
Ray, so what's your version of that story?
Raymundo
He's probably right on that.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
All right, fair enough.
Raymundo
I thought it was gonna be easier in Nashville to find a place. It wasn't. Then comes the radio station.
Bobby Bones
So you lived here? Yes. Okay. And then. So to work out and to shower, you would.
Raymundo
Jim. 24 hours. You can go there in the morning and shower. Go at night and shower.
Bobby Bones
Did you ever just feel like. Not. I just wouldn't feel settled. Did you ever feel unsettled?
Raymundo
I was so. I was the opposite of you. I was always settled in my life, so it actually felt cool to be unsettled.
Amy
Oh, this is like him being a rebel.
Raymundo
I'm not a rebel. I was just a nomad. I didn't really have any. I moved from Texas to Tennessee. I just never really had. Since home in Michigan, I'd never. It was great. I liked the feeling.
Bobby Bones
The weird thing, too, is Ray would bring chicks back to his house, which was here.
Eddie
Oh, right, right, right.
Bobby Bones
So he'd bring. And this is where he'd bring girls back to his house. Well.
Raymundo
And I would be funny about it, and I would say, this is my apartment. And they would laugh and they thought it was hilarious, except he wasn't kidding.
Bobby Bones
And then when you finally moved, you moved where?
Raymundo
Downtown with my now wife. Girlfriend at the time.
Bobby Bones
So you started dating her, and then you were like, did she know you lived here?
Raymundo
Yeah, because it was kind of a joke on the radio, so. And then it was also the same time when I lost my vehicle to gambling.
Eddie
So rough time.
Bobby Bones
You did lose your car to gambling.
Raymundo
When girls would go on dates with me, they would know that backstory, and then they would meet me in real life and they'd say, oh, my gosh, is that true?
Bobby Bones
I forgot. When Ray lost his truck to gambling.
Eddie
Debt, hard times.
Bobby Bones
So, okay, you move in with her. How long did you date her before you moved in?
Raymundo
A week.
Eddie
I don't know, guys.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's real quick.
Bobby Bones
It was real quick.
Lunchbox
Real quick.
Bobby Bones
And look, they got married. It worked out Love at first sight. But it's like she adopted a homeless man, comes up with me. I'm gonna be charitable, okay? I say all that. I just want to get the backstory in Ray. Are you sleeping at the studio again?
Raymundo
No.
Lunchbox
No.
Raymundo
I have a house in the country.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Raymundo
And a wife.
Bobby Bones
And you're not sleeping up here at all?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
And you haven't slept up here at all? Okay, why are you. Why are you stuttering?
Raymundo
Well, I mean, I've taken naps up here.
Bobby Bones
No. Like, you didn't go home and you slept here? No. Stayed here.
Raymundo
Incorrect. I don't. I haven't done that at this new building at all.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I just got a note that you were.
Raymundo
No. That's weird. I don't know. I don't have any pillows or blankets here.
Bobby Bones
And no mail.
Raymundo
No mail. I have a mortgage that I pay.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Anybody have anything I want to say? You don't have to say nothing if you don't want to say anything.
Eddie
No, I'll say something.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
I'll say something.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Eddie, Go ahead.
Amy
Obviously, we know it came from Eddie.
Bobby Bones
I wasn't gonna make him say anything.
Eddie
But I talked to someone who said that they regularly see Ray brush his teeth and wash his face in the kitchen sink early in the morning, which.
Bobby Bones
Is what it used to be when you lived here.
Raymundo
How else are you gonna brush your teeth three times a day if you don't do it while you're at work?
Bobby Bones
You do it before work. You do it when you get home from work. You do it before you go to bed. Yes.
Eddie
No. No. No.
Bobby Bones
I gave you the answer. I gave you the answer.
Raymundo
I like to eat breakfast and then brush my teeth. So, yeah, if I'm gonna do the dentist recommended three times a day, you got to do it at work. If you don't, you're weird. If you don't, you need to see your dentist. If you don't, you need to floss.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
You brush three times a day. That's crazy.
Eddie
What do you do?
Bobby Bones
I brush three times a day. At least. But I have an issue with my teeth.
Better Picks Announcer
Really?
Amy
At least.
Bobby Bones
Well, here's my problem.
Amy
At least would be 2.
Bobby Bones
I wear a mouth guard. And I think it shifted my teeth a little bit because I wear a mouth guard all the time. And so now there are, like, little gaps in between all my teeth, so I have to constantly brush and clean my teeth. So sometimes six. I brush, like, six times a day, but it's only because of that. It's not like A. I'm like super hygiene. Okay, but you're good though. You don't need help.
Raymundo
You're not.
Bobby Bones
You're not living up here.
Raymundo
Living in the country.
Amy
Wait, but okay, so brushing teeth, fine, that makes sense. After you eat. What's the face washing?
Raymundo
Because I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I don't wash your face up here.
Raymundo
No, I mean, if my hair is a little messy, I may put a.
Bobby Bones
Little water on it.
Raymundo
I don't know if that is what the person saw me doing.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. But you're okay. We're asking you as friends.
Raymundo
Yeah, yeah. And I do it in the kitchen.
Bobby Bones
I don't care.
Raymundo
Somebody sees me brush my teeth, you're.
Bobby Bones
Okay, then you're good to go.
Eddie
Are you still bathing at the gym?
Raymundo
No, no, because I just do a little bit of weight work. If I ran, yes, I would shower at the gym. But no, I don't shower at this gym. It's kind of creepy. It's kind of creepy.
Bobby Bones
What is? Showering at the gym?
Raymundo
Yeah, there's. You never know. I. I just feel like sometimes the guys are looking at me.
Eddie
Probably.
Amy
You do you do this gym?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Why? And why. Wait, why especially this gym?
Raymundo
I guess it's a bigger gym, so there's usually a couple people that are around there and it just kind of. Maybe it's. It's a Metro gym. You know, sometimes it just feels like Metro Gym.
Amy
I think I know what he's implying.
Eddie
Yep, I got it. It's a city gym.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. There are just a lot of people that are looking at your dinghy.
Raymundo
They're always talking to me, always trying to work out. Right next to me. Yes.
Amy
Okay.

Better Picks. Sports just got better.
Bobby Bones
This could be the luckiest couple in the world.
Commercial Voice 2
A couple in New Jersey have millions of reasons to celebrate their recent lucky streak. This pair from Orange county won the top prize in the new $30 scratch off game. $3 million.
Bobby Bones
The odds of claiming one of the top prizes was 1 in 2 million. That's incredible enough. But the same couple actually won a million dollars back in April.
Commercial Voice 2
This was in the $1 million ultimate spectacular.
Bobby Bones
The odds of winning both games is.
Commercial Voice 2
About 1 in 2 trillion.
Amy
Okay, maybe they need to buy our tickets.
Bobby Bones
Yes, I love news anchor humor, but they won a million bucks.
Raymundo
Died.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. And then months later, they won three million bucks.
Eddie
Investigate.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's where your mind goes immediately. We have to, like, who do they know in the library?
Eddie
Dude, that's crazy. That doesn't happen.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox man.
Lunchbox
I hate those people. I mean, I do not understand how that happens. And there has to be something fishy. If it's both scratch offs, they have to know. Someone in the office says, hey man, we put the winning tickets at this gas station. Go buy them. I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence, but that's a, what do they say, 1 in 500 trillion gazillion coincidence. Oh, that's, that's irking.
Bobby Bones
They say with our kids, we can't really get out of the house. So at the beginning of the month, we get scratch offs. When the kids go to bed, we scratch a few off. We like to make it a bit of a competition so you can win the most. It seems like we usually break about even. And again they hit in April for a meal and then they hit again for three mil.
Commercial Voice
Crazy.
Eddie
Amazing.
Bobby Bones
To hit for a mill. To hit for 10,000.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
I would go live on all social media, just scream. I just, it would just be crazy because I played, I played a bunch this year and I've. I'm definitely way. I'm in the red for sure that to win a thousand, I would go crazy. I was like, you guys won't believe this.
Eddie
I knew someone who got 25, 000 once on scratch off. And then I worked with Someone who hit the.
Bobby Bones
The lottery.
Eddie
News anchor.
Bobby Bones
He quit. Quit?
Eddie
Dude never came back. He's been arrested a couple times too. He went. He went hard.
Bobby Bones
What's that story?
Eddie
He just. He bought a lot. He split a lottery with his buddy.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so they bought the numbers.
Eddie
They bought the numbers and then they both hit it and they split the money. It was in the millions. I don't remember the exact number. And then he said, peace, I'm out.
Bobby Bones
Did he come in one day and say peace or he does not show up again?
Eddie
No, no, he quit. They had a party for him and everything, but he stayed on a segment. He's like, I want to come in once a week and just voice a segment just so I can stay on the news. And so he would. But a couple weeks later, he comes in a Ferrari Hawaiian shirt and a Ferrari.
Amy
And then he got arrested.
Bobby Bones
For what?
Eddie
Like just drinking and driving.
Bobby Bones
That, you know, allegedly.
Eddie
I mean, I think he went.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think, like thinking, we don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess my mind doesn't go to some shady's happening. My mind goes to their playing. They got very lucky.
Amy
Lucky.
Bobby Bones
And you, both of you guys go shady.
Eddie
Just investigate. Yeah.
Lunchbox
I mean, to win one, I mean, that's crazy. Crazy.
Eddie
It is crazy.
Lunchbox
Did you hear what they said the odds were?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, something like a trillion or something.
Eddie
Yeah, that's.
Lunchbox
I mean, like, that's a little fishy. Little fish. Fish.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.
Eddie
Jack Edward. He's a student at Stockton University in New Jersey. He also runs track, but he grew up in the foster care system. So he's always made it a goal to give back. And he's finally doing it. He started an initiative called Bags for Buddies where he collects backpacks, he gives them to state workers. So when they go to foster care houses or whatever, they have backpacks to give to all the kids.
Bobby Bones
That's cool.
Eddie
That's really cool.
Bobby Bones
It's somebody who knows the situation because they've been in the situation, now they can help the situation.
Amy
Yes.
Eddie
And I was a foster parent, and when we got our kids, they had nothing.
Bobby Bones
Would I be considered a foster kid?
Eddie
Technically, no.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
According to this state.
Bobby Bones
Right. Because I had to. Like, when my mom left, my dad was already gone. Mom left, Grandma had to take me over and eventually adopted me.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
So that period intervention, that period before adoption, was I a foster kid?
Eddie
You sure?
Amy
I think you're with family.
Eddie
Because if mom left and they had to take you to your Grandma's.
Bobby Bones
Well, I think. I think she scooped me up. All I remember is masked men showing up.
Eddie
Oh, interesting.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Dressed like Hamburglar, black and white stripes. Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. I just was. That part's not true.
Amy
But I think when you have family intervention, it's different. I mean, foster kids like you end up in the.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but the system had to clear me to live with my grandmother because she had to be my.
Amy
We were never in custody of child protective Services.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Amy
So I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you.
Amy
You have similar feelings and. And. And. And trauma.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm just. I'm happy I had a grandmother that cared.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Where kids don't even have them have that. So I just wondering if I was also considered a foster kid.
Eddie
So Jack. Edward, too, is foster kid, but he also is an author. He wrote a book called your biggest opponent, and he's a college student.
Bobby Bones
He's an athlete, but it's. I like it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't mean to make that about me. I just didn't. I just didn't know if I was a foster kid or not.
Eddie
You might. I mean, you might be. I don't know.
Amy
Dude, you're in a. You ended up adopted.
Bobby Bones
I. I was an adopted kid, but then I got unadopted. How did that happen?
Amy
How did you get unadopted?
Eddie
Did you age out?
Bobby Bones
My mom moved back. Oh, she came back.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
So they legally transfer you back, Like, I guess, because if your grandma became your legal guardian.
Bobby Bones
Change my last name. Like, my last name was changed, but.
Lunchbox
Maybe grandma gave up her rights and said, here, I sign him back over.
Bobby Bones
But then they changed my name again.
Amy
Yeah. So that was part of that process.
Bobby Bones
So I was adopted.
Amy
So did you ever start introducing yourself?
Bobby Bones
No, I never knew. I found out later in life when I found an old Social Security card with a different last name on it.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Amy
Shout out to her for going through all that paperwork.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot of work.
Amy
I'd probably just be like, just.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'll just take over. All right, that's. That is a great story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Turning box Morgan. Too SC to put you through. M's riding this wig's next bit, and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby bone. Now time for the morning corny.
Raymundo
The morning Corny.
Amy
What acting job did the Green Bean audition for?
Bobby Bones
What's that?
Amy
The casserole.
Bobby Bones
Nice.
Raymundo
That was the morning Corny.
Bobby Bones
Not pretty good.
Amy
1.
Bobby Bones
Okay, with that voicemail lunchbox, you kissing.
Lunchbox
Your parents on the lips is absolutely wild. And the funny thing is that there was a segment back before that some guy was going to give CPR to his dad and you thought that was.
Bobby Bones
Weird to give CPR to your dad.
Lunchbox
But you can get.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's really to us, not the guy to guy lip kissing. Like, it's just the person who's doing it who is so anti guy to guy lip kissing because he thinks it's gross not to even give CPR to a man.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because that's open mouth. I mean this isn't open mouth. When you're doing cpr, your mouth is open and like you're.
Amy
But it's life saving.
Eddie
So it would be like equivalent to like a French kiss.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Basically when you're doing cpr, you're basically French kissing. And I. And I don't do that. I do a little peck with my dad, but I'm not open mouthing.
Bobby Bones
Thank you for the voicemail. I'm glad we could actually get to the bottom of that. I was really wondering his strategy. Okay, you guys leave us a voicemail anytime. 877 77. Bottom lobby bone show bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Missoula, Montana. A 53 year old man had just finished a can of Budweiser. As he's driving down the road. He's 80 exit in the highway is like man really got to go to the bathroom. Really got to go to the bathroom. Grabs the Budweiser can, starts to pee in the can. Not pay attention.
Raymundo
Boom.
Lunchbox
Crashed into the car in front of them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, there's a lot of things here that would be distracting. One just peeing in anything. You need a big hole. Yeah. Because you can't be if you're trying to a canvas. That's such a little hole.
Eddie
Gatorade bottle is doable because it's got.
Bobby Bones
A bigger mouth because you can actually go in that to pee with a can. You can't because you will cut yourself very sharp.
Commercial Voice
Yeah.
Amy
But also the opening is really small.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, both. But you did see. Did you see the story that Hitler has a microbeat?
Amy
Yeah, I did.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
That explains a lot.
Bobby Bones
One, one and one ball testy and one in a mic.
Eddie
That does explain a lot.
Amy
Juan Poletto.
Bobby Bones
So let's just say in that case scenario that you can still make it work there. But if you. One bump.
Lunchbox
Ow.
Bobby Bones
Mm. So yeah, just the whole situation's wrong and bad. Also. You wasted a beer.
Lunchbox
No, he had finished it.
Bobby Bones
Totally finished. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And he was exiting the highway and it was a red light. He wasn't paying attention as he was going crashing the car in front of him. He got arrested for dui.
Bobby Bones
Makes me wonder if he's done this before. Right. Secondly, I think we all know, or maybe you've done the thing where you grabbed a like a drink, but it was somebody's dip cup.
Lunchbox
Oh, done that.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if somebody did that with one of his beards. He's done that with before.
Eddie
That's gross.
Bobby Bones
All right, there you go.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day, Bones.

Honestly. No one wants to think about hiv, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for pre Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options, and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more.

Is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human.
Episode: MON PT 1: Amy vs. Lunchbox: Lead Singer Game + Bobby Is Concerned For Raymundo + People Are Charging Family For Thanksgiving Meal
Date: November 24, 2025
Host: Bobby Bones
Main Cast: Amy, Lunchbox, Eddie, Raymundo
This episode delivers The Bobby Bones Show’s signature mix of humor, friendly debate, and real-life stories, focusing on Thanksgiving trends, viral news stories, a hilarious music trivia game, and a candid check-in on cast member Raymundo’s well-being. The conversation ranges from whether it's acceptable to charge family for Thanksgiving dinner, to viral cons and lucky windfalls, to a heated "Lead Singer" challenge between Amy and Lunchbox, all served with the show's lighthearted, teasing, and genuine dynamic.
Topic: Recent trend of some hosts charging guests for Thanksgiving dinner, including tip jars.
Amy: "The cost of Thanksgiving is getting so wild that some hosts are reportedly starting to charge their guests a fee just to cover the meal…some even putting out a tip jar for extra contributions." (02:59)
Bobby: “If you say I’m the one hosting Thanksgiving, I don’t think you have the obligation to do everything...set the rules early. You can’t invoice somebody after Thanksgiving if they didn’t know they were going to have to pay” (03:30)
Consensus: It’s fine to ask for contributions if communicated early, but invoicing or surprise charges are a no-go.
Topic: The infamous “Tinder Swindler” is reportedly suing over the Netflix documentary.
Bobby, Lunchbox, and Eddie debate moral responsibility, with Raymundo calling the scam “genius,” but reiterating the swindler is “definitely guilty” even if not convicted.
Segment: Viral videos of public meltdowns, specifically at airports.
Leads into discussion of road rage and how small gestures behind the wheel (“the look,” “the thumbs up”) can be misinterpreted as aggressive.
Bobby: “I didn’t have rage. I have rage.” (12:31)
Segment: Non-traditional Thanksgiving foods.
Surprising poll result: Chocolate pie is currently America’s most popular Thanksgiving pie, beating out traditional favorites. (13:44)
Listener Email: A mother wonders if she should stick to her deal to name the second child or honor her husband’s recently deceased grandmother.
Encouraged compromise—make grandma’s name a middle name, but no guilt if sticking to the agreement.
Amy: A French family found $1.2M in gold in their yard; legal question of who keeps it.
The group debates how they’d react to finding hidden fortunes.
Game premise: Bobby offers a lead singer's name; Amy and Lunchbox race to name the band. $5 is on the line.
Memorable moments:
The game’s playful chaos is a listener highlight.
Cast reminisces: Raymundo used to secretly live at the studio for months, even getting mail and hiding before staff arrived.
Bobby’s Concern: “Are you sleeping at the studio again?” (42:43)
Consensus: Raymundo is fine, not secretly living at the studio anymore.
Skepticism vs. amazement—crew debates whether it’s all just luck or deserves investigation.
Notables:
Bobby: “It’s somebody who knows the situation because they’ve been in the situation, now they can help the situation.” (53:05)
Summary:
This Bobby Bones Show episode is a holiday-season blend of laughs, Thanksgiving trends, viral news, deep-dives into cast personalities, and warmth. From whether you should Venmo your aunt for turkey, to how a diamond “swindler” tricks his prey, to a raucous lead singer trivia battle, Bobby and crew deliver the kind of hilarious, relatable radio that turns everyday oddities into appointment listening.
