A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're gonna go, you're gonna meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here, you're gonna get it in a mug or a glass. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

Bones and Matt castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, welcome to Monday Show Morning Studio Morning. We're all here. We're here, we're here. Today will not be that bad. Tomorrow will be miserable for me. I just got a couple hours sleep, went to the super bowl last night and. And it was great as far as getting to go. The game wasn't good, but it's never about that. I mean, growing up as a kid, that was fictional. That was Disneyland. I never thought I'd go to Disneyland because that was something on tv. Never thought I'd go to Super Bowl. So just getting to go to a Super bowl, regardless of what happens is a really cool thing. The game sucked because it really wasn't much of a game. I was pretty happy for the passionate Eagles fans. There were a lot of Eagles fans there. It was 75, 25 in the room, no doubt about it. And Chiefs fans, they've won two already, I think, you know, if you're going for three in a row, you're probably. If you're like, budgeting your money, you're like, we've already won the last two. We're probably not going to go and put it on a credit card to go. Who knows? There's weren't a lot of Chiefs fans there, even though it was much closer. We've been down in New Orleans since Thursday. Thursday. Wednesday night. Yeah, we've been on the road since we did the show Tuesday morning, got in a bus immediately, took the tour bus down to Atlanta, did a show, did the morning show the next day, did a show on Mobile, Alabama, Wednesday, and then just. It's a blur right now. It's one of those longest road trips ever. We had a lot of fun, but I think I'm the most tired maybe I've ever been, except for, like, if I was gone for like Dancing with the Stars or American Idol. But just because we were just gone so long, I did a Instagram that got like 1.2 million views right as of right now of my bathtub in New Orleans. I don't know if you got a chance to see that. Amy.
- [03:49]
Amy
I did. What were the. Was that just rust, I assume, or was it dirt? Grime?
- [03:55]
Bobby Bones
I'm glad you're asking. Thank you for asking. So I would like to say this first to everybody in New Orleans that lives there, and that is a local shout out to you. You're very kind. You were very warm. I talked to a lot of locals that were working that listened to the show. I would go places, they'd be like, Bobby. Now a whole different environment with tourists because everybody's drunk. So if you're a tourist and you're in New Orleans, I don't like you very much. If you're a local in New Orleans, a lot of love. So it was jam packed, obviously, New Orleans is not a massive city. It's a city about the size that we live in, big enough, but it's not la, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Houston. It's not that size and it's not that Vegas is even massive. But Vegas has a much stronger infrastructure because of how international that city is and the strip and the hotels. So New Orleans, great city for the super bowl if you can get in and you can get a hotel. Cuz once you're there, it's all built out perfectly, but it's hard to get in. The airport's not huge and there aren't a lot of hotels. Massive Airbnb shortage again, because it's not a massive city. Semi limited hotels for an event like the Super Bowl. So I work for the NFL now, which is awesome. And they said, hey, come out to the super bowl. We want you to work. And it wasn't an order, but it was a, you're the new guy, we would really like for you to come and work. And really it was just the lots to say show that Matt Castle and I have. And I was like, can also bring my other show. Because we do too. They're like, great, just get out here. So no problem. So we go out and I was like, last man. I'm new to the NFL organization and I was one of the last people probably in their organization they booked a hotel room for. So I'm sure they just grabbed whatever room was available and I was happy to have it. Not only was it for me, they were able to book three rooms, they got my room and then they got two other rooms where the guys doubled up. Eddie, your roommate was who?
- [06:09]
Eddie
Kickoff.
- [06:10]
Bobby Bones
Kevin and Mike Reed. And so we all very grateful because we had rooms. And I think that's why my bathtub was rusty, because they got us a room when there were no rooms left. And I thought it was poop at first. Thankfully it was just rust because when I saw it I was like, oh my God. But it was not again. Yeah, it was just a rust. It was a rusty bathtub. And the major part of that Instagram story was that I1 can't. My stomach for some reason is dead. It's a recent turn of events where I can eat nothing. I think even if water's a little too spicy, it ain't good. And I'll tell the story later. But we had a driver that recommended this local place to go for a sandwich and it killed me. It wasn't even spicy. I think it was some sort of olive concoction. And I'm sure it was a local thing where if you grow up and it's like fried food. Where I'm from in Arkansas, if you come from somewhere where you're not used to deep fried Southern food, it's going to wreck you if you're sensitive. And so that's kind of what happened. And I was really sick for a day. I was kind of sick for two days. And when I. My stomach's been hurting me at home, what I do is I get in a hot bath. I like baths anyway, but I get in a hot bath and I got in and I saw all the rust on the bathtub. And the room wasn't as bad as that bathtub was. But I thought this would be a funny video. I tell the story, you do one of those videos with a whole lot of words and you make it short so it repeats as well because people can't read it all in one setting. And the funniest thing was, and I don't want to say who, I kind of want to say who, because it's a mid flex. And I don't mind mid. I don't mind flexing. I won't say who, but I got a text from somebody that's, I would say, pretty famous. And it was right after I posted that video on my bathtub. And this is what he writes to me. Jfc, that bathtub. Are you in the Hilton by any chance? Which, by the way, Amy, you know what JFC means?
- [08:17]
Amy
Hmm? Jesus Christ. Yeah, Jesus freak. Oh, got it. Dang, that is a little much.
- [08:26]
Bobby Bones
Well, hey, I don't use it, but it was. Yeah, but yeah, jfc, okay, that bathtub. And I said, no, that would be luxury. I'm in the blank. I said, I think it's NFL employee Ricky hazing. And then he said, holy fuck. And I felt seen in that moment. And so the room, the room really wasn't that bad. The bathtub could have been better. The bathtub was so shallow. Like, I got all the way in and it went up. And I'm sitting in the bathtub, mid thighs, sitting down, not standing up. Think about Amy sitting on your butt and the water only getting to mid thigh, up the side of them. That's pretty shallow. Bathtub.
- [09:10]
Amy
That is. Yes.
- [09:10]
Bobby Bones
That's like I'm sitting in the sink. So had the bathtub deal. Didn't feel great, but we got to, you know, hang with a lot of cool people. Not even hang work, because again, I didn't even do much hanging. I wasn't feeling good after A couple days. But as far as, like, getting to, like, interview folks, we had awesome guests, got a chance to, like, hang out, and I saw Deion Sanders a few months ago at the softball game. He was my coach, and Deion Sanders and I worked together for months doing a TV pilot that failed. No, it just didn't get picked up. I wouldn't say failed, because it did get sent to pilot, and they spent a bunch of money on the pilot, but they ended up not picking it up. But we spent days and days and days and days working together. Weeks and weeks and weeks, every day working together. So we definitely had a relationship. And I can say that all I want, and people can believe me or not, but I think it's the first time that Eddie ever saw Dion and I together since then, other than, like, watching us on the field. But Eddie got to, like, watch us, like, hang out to where I did feel a bit vindicated for people that didn't believe that we were friends.
- [10:16]
Eddie
You know what, man? Like, I believed you guys were friendly with each other, but the way he acted around you was like, wow. Like, he really likes Bobby. The first thing he said when he sat down is like, bobby, this is my dude. And he told his people, do not rush this interview. I. I want to take my time with my friend Bobby here.
- [10:34]
Amy
Aw.
- [10:35]
Bobby Bones
It was awesome. Yeah. And he has a sunglass brand, and we did a. You know how they do a jersey swap? And he was like, we'll switch glasses, but it turns out I can't see. So he was like, okay, we'll switch back, and I'll just send you a pair of prescription of these. So it was great. So got to spend some time. But I saw him backstage the night before briefly at NFL Honors, which Fox had me present an award. And so at the very beginning, and they're like, bring a date. Of course, my date. Super Hot Eddie. So we get to the theater. It's a stacked room. If you love sports. It's the most fun people watching I've ever had. We're a bit jaded in our industry because we see artists all the time, and we go to award shows, and that has become quite normal after 13 years here. But in the theater, at an NFL award show, not only was all the current players, but it was all the greats. We sat. I sat with Kurt Warner all night and just sat with him and talked with him and his wife. We sat right behind Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase, and we were the. As they were doing the Joe Burrow roast jokes. My head is right there. And so I knew it. So I had to, like, react with the jokes if they were funny or not, because I don't want to be the guy that wasn't paying attention on my phone. So you see a bunch of memes of, like, just my head behind Joe Burrow because they put us in the second row because they had to grab me to send me backstage to present an award. But I did see Dion there, but. And I think it's not my drama to share, but there was some big drama with an NFL player where he was supposed to present. He left because of some seeding drama. Seeding drama.
- [12:21]
Eddie
And we were front row for that drama.
- [12:23]
Bobby Bones
It was. It was something that happens in, like, third grade at a third grade recital where a parent's like, I should sit here. And the player and his whole family left, and he was going to be up doing something as a part of the show and just didn't do it. I couldn't believe that happened right there. I couldn't believe it happened on such a big show. But the show was great. I didn't get to see all of it because I was kind of moving around. I did see Bill Belichick and his girlfriend for the first time that night. Bill Belichick, coach of the Patriots, has seven super bowl rings, six as a head coach, one as a coordinator. I believe he has seven total. And he had them all on, and him and Snoop Dogg were taking pictures. I was in the picture line right after them backstage. And so he had all his rings on, like, hanging them over Snoop's shoulders. It was kind of funny to watch them interact. I didn't jump in the picture. I thought it'd be funny if I did. But then they'd be like, who is this guy? Get him out of here. But Bill Belichick's girlfriend's 24. He's. I think he's 70, 72. Amy. It's weird. It's already weird. It's already that age thing. And who cares? Love is love. And I'm not saying they shouldn't be together or there should be a law passed. It just was in person. It was weird to see on the Internet. It's odd. And you're like, wow, can't believe that in person, it hits different. It looks like grandpa and granddaughter. And you know what? If they love each other, have at it. I hope they are so happy for as long as they are. But it doesn't mean. I can't say that it doesn't look a bit odd. On the Internet, but pretty. You would have thought it was grandpa and granddaughter. You'd have thought it was grandpa bringing his really attractive granddaughter out to find an NFL player that she could hopefully find and marry. Like, you would have thought. That was kind of the theme. Like, Sean Payton brought his daughter. Sean Payton's probably 58. I don't know. He's a coach of the Broncos, been the coach of the Saints. He brought his daughter. And there was. It wasn't near as dramatic, him and his daughter as Bill Belichick and his girlfriend. It's crazy. So finish that show. I presented with Kyle Juszczyk, who plays fullback and for the 49ers. We present it to George Kittle, who is the tight end who won the salute to service of the. You know, the work he does with military. And I was talking to George backstage, and I get George Kittle's mail sometimes.
- [14:59]
Amy
What do you mean?
- [15:01]
Bobby Bones
It's literal mail. Like, he lives real close to me. We don't know each other because he's always gone and his mail's been dropped off at my house before. That's how I know where he lives. I told him that, and he was like, that's funny. He said, glad it's you and not somebody else. So that's the first time we've ever met. And I was like, bro, the FedEx guy told me that because he dropped your package off so I know where you live. And I was like, isn't there some kind of, like. Some kind of, like, oath, Hippocratic Oath or some sort of, like, what. What is it when you hipaa. Like, some sort of. And it's not FedEx specifically, but is there some sort of, like, FedEx oath where you shouldn't tell where other people live? But he is cool. I think we're friends now. I don't know. Jared Allen, who plays for the Vikings, got put in the hall of Fame that night. Jared Allen live. It's. He lives over here near me. But he came on the sports show a few weeks ago, and I didn't know he was so sensitive about not being in the hall of Fame. I thought he should have been in the hall of Fame for a long time. Great player. And we started the show, Lots to say with me just in the interview, being like, I can't believe you're in the hall of Fame. This sucks. You're not in the hall of Fame. I didn't know enough to not start that way, which was great because it ended up being great. But he was super passionate about, you know, really was hurtful to him that he's not in the hall of Fame, and he got in this year, so that was super cool. Went and talked to him, and the first thing that I said when I got over to him was, again, he's just been put in the hall of Fame. And I go, do you guys see those drones above our houses? That's really all we talked about. I could have went hall of Fame, but mostly it was like, you seen these drones are everywhere, man.
- [16:31]
Amy
Did he had he.
- [16:33]
Bobby Bones
They're so big that I don't think people know they're. I think people think they're airplanes. They're just hanging out above the house. So they're going to keep an eye out. They've seen drones, but they haven't been watching for them like I have. So did that. It was a great night. There's probably so much. I don't even know what I'm forgetting. We had tickets to something called the Commissioner's dinner. Way too fancy for us. Probably shouldn't have been invited. You had to wear a suit to it. And it was where, like, all the owners had their own booth, but basically everybody's mingling around. A lot of hall of Famers and their gold jackets. I actually, like, met. Met Bill Belichick that night because the guy we were with, Matt Castle, played for him. So we did that, and then I wasn't feeling great, and Eddie and I did a whole, like, lap around a couple times. It was just way too rich and too substantial for us. Like, we really didn't fit in. So we're like, let's just slowly mosey on out of here. So. So we did. It was super nice. We just didn't know anybody, and we didn't really. I don't know if. How would I describe this? We just weren't fancy enough, I don't think, for that room. Thoughts, Eddie?
- [17:49]
Eddie
It smelled like money in there, you.
- [17:51]
Bobby Bones
Know, not literally, but, like, old money, too. Like, people that have money forever or they were an NFL or former NFL player. Totally.
- [17:58]
Eddie
So Bobby and I, like, we would just kind of like, oh, look, there's a Super bowl trophy. Let's go hang out by that.
- [18:02]
Bobby Bones
We did go take a picture with a trophy.
- [18:04]
Matt Castle
Yeah.
- [18:04]
Eddie
Just little things like that. Because really, Amy, there was no. We didn't know anyone there. We. You couldn't even small talk with anyone because we really knew no one.
- [18:12]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And they all talked like, how'd your 401k start going with S&P 500? We were like, first down. I don't know.
- [18:22]
Eddie
Is that nascar?
- [18:23]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We went up to the trophy and you could take a picture with the Lombardi trophy, which is the exact trophy, the one they gave away last night at the Super Bowl. And so you could walk up to it, it was behind this red velvet rope and stand beside it. Obviously couldn't touch it because you'd fingerprint the crap out of it. And they take a picture of you next to it. The only problem was the guy taking the pictures was like a 64 year old white dude who had no idea how to use an iPhone. So he's like, yeah, I'll take it. And he's like, okay, I posted it. But I used, like I said, I think Tokyo filter so I could hide everything. It was. They should have had someone that knew how to, like, take pictures there. But all in all, it was a cool event. We just weren't really cool enough for the event. And the whole weekend was great. It's pretty exhausting, but just because we were on the road Tuesday night doing all the live shows. Our bus when we got to New Orleans, because we drove. We finished the show on mobile on Wednesday and drove overnight. We woke up in New Orleans in a bus. If you go to my Instagram, it's a slide from when we first got there. And the first of it's Mike opening a padlock. Amy. We're like underneath an overpass in a park, in a lot with barbed wire fence around us.
- [19:35]
Amy
Y'all were safe, right? It looked. Because you're locked in there.
- [19:39]
Bobby Bones
Okay, but did you.
- [19:40]
Amy
No. I mean, I get that it looked sketchy, but I was like, at least they're locked in. Like, it didn't seem like someone was going to be able to get in and get y'all. Like, it seemed like if somebody tried, a Doberman pincher was going to appear or something.
- [19:52]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but we didn't own the Doberman. If they wanted to, like, cut through the gate, you know, little pair of clips could put you right through. I woke up and was like, oh, wow, look where we are. It was like if we were put in prison and they put a prison around us to surround us from the rest of the prison. And you're like, look how safe you are. You're in prison. But look at all the barbed wire.
- [20:15]
Matt Castle
Surround it.
- [20:15]
Bobby Bones
And you're like, yeah, but it's still prison, you know, you don't know what's coming. It was wild.
- [20:20]
Eddie
You have to understand, Amy, like, we did sleep all night and you woke up like, oh, you Know you're in New Orleans.
- [20:25]
Matt Castle
Yeah.
- [20:26]
Eddie
You wake up, you're like, Mardi Gras, baby.
- [20:28]
Matt Castle
Let's party.
- [20:28]
Bobby Bones
Woo.
- [20:29]
Eddie
And we're in like impound lot.
- [20:31]
Bobby Bones
It was crazy. There's a bus on bricks next to us. Yes, literally. And Matt, because again, we didn't have enough hotel rooms, thankfully the NFL again found us rooms for us. Like I said, there were no rooms. Matt still stayed in the bus the whole time for like five days in that same spot. And he ended up bringing extra cars in to park in there around him to look like more people were there with him.
- [20:53]
Amy
How do you bring in extra cars?
- [20:54]
Bobby Bones
He rented a car, somebody else had a car, and he just had him leave them there so it looked like there were more people on the bus with him.
- [21:00]
Amy
So you mentioned Mobile, which made me think of a DM that I got from a listener. So I pulled it up and they said, hey, Amy, funny story. I live in Mobile. And the day I was heading to the venue where Bobby and Eddie were going to play, we without a ticket, just hoping I'd run into them. I saw an eagle fly right in front of me. Then I met both of them and got a free ticket to the show. I believe in Amy the psychic.
- [21:25]
Bobby Bones
No, she should believe in me at the coffee shop being like, hey, do you want to come to the show?
- [21:30]
Amy
Do you know who this is?
- [21:32]
Bobby Bones
Yes, I'm 99% positive because I met. We went in Mobile that morning. We just Google closest coffee shop we go. And I think five of our group went and bunch of listeners and some of them were going to the show. And this one girl comes up and goes, hey, huge fan. I said, are you coming to the show? She goes, no, I didn't get tickets. I said, awesome, well, I'll get you tickets. That was not psychic. That was me won the old tickets to the show.
- [21:55]
Eddie
No, but you missed the part where she saw the eagle.
- [21:56]
Amy
Oh, the eagle.
- [21:57]
Matt Castle
I bet she saw me.
- [21:59]
Bobby Bones
And I'm generous.
- [22:01]
Amy
I don't think she's saying I'm legit psychic, but she's saying there's something to the whole eagle thing. It's like a vibe. It's like you see an eagle and something good is gonna happen.
- [22:09]
Bobby Bones
I won't accept it because I'm seeing.
- [22:11]
Amy
The eagle Soari towards the sun, and that led to the eagles winning.
- [22:16]
Bobby Bones
I would say there's something to her happening to be at the same coffee shop and then seeing this eagle, me, kind and generous me, who flew a ticket into her hand. How about that?
- [22:26]
Amy
Sure, whatever. However, you want to say it?
- [22:30]
Bobby Bones
So we're here. We're good. It is a rough one. I posted an Instagram story last night. Like it was like 1:30 in the morning. Hey, back in Nashville won't be a rerun, so. So let's go. Glad everybody's here. We're going to have a good show today. Tomorrow maybe a little suspect, but today we're going to go hard. Thank you for being here. Let's go.
- [22:49]
Matt Castle
There's a voicemail we got last night. Go ahead. Hey, Bobby.
- [22:52]
Lunchbox
I was just looking for advice.
- [22:54]
Matt Castle
I was recently fired because I was questioning management and I'm looking for a new job.
- [23:00]
Lunchbox
And I was just wondering how to.
- [23:02]
Matt Castle
Answer the question, why did you leave your last job?
- [23:05]
Bobby Bones
I don't want to seem like I'm defiant. Any advice would be great. Thank you so much.
- [23:10]
Matt Castle
Questioning management is so vague because if you're just questioning management in a way that they think is productive, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Questioning management can also just mean you're questioning them as why they're bothering you because you suck at your job. I mean, there's just so much there. So I guess I would need to know more. But how would I. What would be my euphemism for being fired is the question here? I would say that you and the company had different long term goals for you. And whenever you guys were talking about the future, they did not meet. They were not parallel with each other. So you made a decision to. Dude, you got fired. I mean, she just got. She just got fired. Yeah, she probably. Like, that's what I would say, though. We, we had a discussion.
- [24:02]
Amy
We weren't in alignment and we weren't.
- [24:04]
Matt Castle
In alignment on the future, on my future at the company, just because that's.
- [24:07]
Bobby Bones
How you have to do it.
- [24:10]
Eddie
And what are the odds that that employer calls the old company.
- [24:13]
Matt Castle
An old company cannot say she was a bad employee. They can only say she was. She didn't work here.
- [24:18]
Amy
No, they can't say she was terminated.
- [24:20]
Matt Castle
They can say. We can look on the legalities of this, I believe legally, let's say, let's say I fired Amy. Well, there's a difference in let go, fired, laid off. There are all these little terms that make it different. Right. I believe if you call for a reference and you're like, is this person good? I think the only thing they can say is she worked here. You can say nothing bad. Oh, so. Oh, this is tough.
- [24:47]
Amy
I feel like the. If they use few words, it's sort of context clues that.
- [24:52]
Matt Castle
So there have been lawsuits on this. Now, legally, the company can say you're a bad worker, but the statements are. Ha. They have to be factually accurate and able to be proven. So that's how you gonna prove it?
- [25:06]
Amy
Well, if you're chronically late and you have, like a.
- [25:08]
Matt Castle
You punch in, there are generally no federal laws. Specific state laws may apply. Different states are different, but. Oh, that's tricky. So I think that's why most people just go, yep, they worked here. Because if you go, yeah, they suck. Well, then you need to prove they sucked, or they'll sue you for keeping them from getting another job.
- [25:27]
Amy
Yeah. For me, I would have never say it, because, you know, if they find out I said something bad about them, they come retaliate.
- [25:34]
Matt Castle
Retaliation for everything.
- [25:36]
Amy
Everything.
- [25:36]
Matt Castle
I tell you, I would say this. I would say we had our quarterly review, and it looked like that our goals did not align, and they knew there wasn't a future for me based on what my goals were. Like, that's the cheating way to get around that one.
- [25:51]
Eddie
That sounds. Sounds close enough to question them.
- [25:55]
Amy
And every closed door is an open window.
- [25:57]
Matt Castle
And then you sing I hope you dance by Leanne Womack and you call it a day.
- [26:02]
Amy
Be like, if I had stayed there, I wouldn't have this opportunity to meet with you.
- [26:07]
Matt Castle
Yeah.
- [26:07]
Amy
And work for this wonderful company.
- [26:09]
Matt Castle
It's gonna feel like you're fired.
- [26:12]
Amy
Yeah. You just say, one man's trash is another dude.
- [26:15]
Matt Castle
Say that. That's hilarious. Like, what happened? Well, I'd like to lead with this.
- [26:19]
Amy
Yeah.
- [26:19]
Matt Castle
Ever heard of the expression, one man's.
- [26:22]
Amy
Trash is another man's treasure?
- [26:23]
Matt Castle
I'm your treasure.
- [26:24]
Eddie
There you go.
- [26:25]
Matt Castle
Might have been their trash further.
- [26:27]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [26:27]
Matt Castle
You got to really buff that dent out by saying you had a meeting and your goals didn't align, so you thought it was best to move in a new direction. That's tough. But you probably got fired, huh? What do you think she did? Stole?
- [26:44]
Eddie
No, she said she questioned the managers.
- [26:47]
Amy
I don't know that that's bad to say that. Like, hey, I. I wouldn't say that.
- [26:51]
Eddie
I wouldn't say.
- [26:52]
Matt Castle
If somebody said that to me, even if it were true, I'd feel like there was some. Something misleading about that. Like.
- [26:57]
Amy
But that's the truth.
- [26:59]
Matt Castle
Yeah, but not all truths.
- [27:00]
Amy
Don't you want someone that will question you?
- [27:02]
Matt Castle
Yes, but not all truths are going to get your goal. All truths could be true. But if you come and I'm interviewing you and you're like. I'm like, hey, Amy. What happened?
- [27:09]
Bobby Bones
Like, how was your last job?
- [27:10]
Matt Castle
It's, like, great. I got fired because I questioned their authority or whatever it was. It'd be like, you're dating somebody new and they're trashing their ex. Even if their ex was a dirtbag. Like, I don't want to hear it because I don't know if it's true. And you may be doing this to me.
- [27:23]
Amy
I circle back to the. Yeah, we just. We weren't in alignment. Because if you're questioning, oh, I circle.
- [27:27]
Matt Castle
Back to one man's trash, another man's treasure.
- [27:29]
Amy
Well, yeah, you can say that. Eventually, I lead with that.
- [27:31]
Matt Castle
That's awesome. Good luck. You'll be fine. You'll bounce back on your feet. And you have to, if you're going to question authority, be prepared. Be prepared to be fired. Yes.
- [27:40]
Amy
But that's okay. If you feel an integrity, then that job wasn't for you.
- [27:44]
Matt Castle
Thank you. It's the anonymous inbox. Anonym. Hello, Bobby Bones. I recently started a new job, and every day the entire office goes out for lunch. Based on the way they're chatting when they come back to the office, I assume they all go to the same place together. For the last two weeks, I was the only person in the office at lunchtime. No one has addressed the fact that the new guy is alone or mentioned anything to me about their lunch gathering. I really feel left out. Should I say something or just hope they eventually warm up to me, and then maybe they invite me to lunch? Signed, the newbie. Amy, you want to go? I saw you kind of look.
- [28:37]
Amy
Well, I don't know that you say anything like, I'm feeling left out, but maybe you just see if you can join in. Like, hey, what? You won't know. That's what I mean. Don't do it in a needy way, though.
- [28:50]
Matt Castle
You just show up where they are. Oh, gosh.
- [28:51]
Amy
You definitely can't say I feel left out, but this makes me think of the very popular theory right now, especially because her book just came out. Mel Robbins. It's the let them theory. And you kind of just have to let them go. But also, if you don't say you want to be invited, they'll never know.
- [29:09]
Matt Castle
You may not want to be invited.
- [29:10]
Amy
Okay, well, he just said he's lonely.
- [29:12]
Matt Castle
I know. Find friends. Not at work. Look, just go and do your thing. Have your own plans. Eventually, you'll make a friend at work, but don't feel lonely because people you don't know aren't inviting you to something you don't know what they're doing.
- [29:25]
Amy
That's true.
- [29:26]
Matt Castle
Like you are completely imagining some utopian scenario where they're all at lunch talking secrets of the trade, living life. I've been a new kid at school like four times. It sucks. And usually the people that I made friends with earliest when I was a new kid in school weren't people I stayed friends with. So I will tell you that. Yep, it does feel like you're lonely at times. Afterwards, you could feel a bit ostracized too. Like, I'm not part of the group. I stick out. You just keep your head down, keep working. If you can have fun and manage yourself without worrying about anybody else, you're the winner. You may not want to be a part of that group anyway. And when you pull yourself away, then you're going to be the guy that was too cool to be in the group. So just keep pushing forward. Don't feel lonely. See lunch on your own as good you time. And eventually, if you want to be friends with them because you'll make friends with one or two of them and you can actually ask in a very organic way right now. Not the time you'll be the weirdo if you're. I sure would like to go or hey, what are you guys doing for. Nothing.
- [30:28]
Amy
Nothing.
- [30:29]
Matt Castle
Nothing.
- [30:30]
Amy
Okay.
- [30:31]
Matt Castle
If for some reason you make a friend with one of them, which you may because of proximity reasons, you can ask. But you don't want to be the new guy who's like all up in the business because they won't like they'll already they'll turn on you quick. So I would encourage you just keep doing you and yeah, let them go to lunch and who cares?
- [30:48]
Amy
Yeah, I agree with that part. But then also sometimes we get all built up and worked up that like we're not included in something, but we never did anything to reach out to them. Maybe you don't invite yourself. Like you. Maybe you come up with a lunch and invite them. Hey guys, I'm thinking about going over here for lunch today. Anybody?
- [31:04]
Matt Castle
I would just say let it happen organically. Otherwise you're going to end up not liking them. It's. A rift can be created. Just live your life. I'm sure they felt the same way when they moved there and they were working in that new job and everybody's going to lunch without them. And also, don't imagine it's some dream scenario where you're hanging out. You don't get to hang out with awesome people. I'm sure they're lame. Too.
- [31:24]
Amy
They're probably sitting there not talking to each other now.
- [31:27]
Matt Castle
They probably have a good time. Yeah, just chill out. Do your own thing. Eventually it'll work itself out. You're the new person. It's always awkward to be new. You don't know the rules. You don't really know the culture. You'll figure it out and probably realize they weren't for you anyway. All right, just keep going, buddy.

Matt Castle
Already loaded with these tools.

Bobby Bones
I can get myself out of it. Also, we talk a lot about red flags, but what about green flags? A lot of times in therapy, I learn what green flags are, and I can actually practice, like, seeing them or also giving them in my marriage or even with friends, you know, therapy for me, again, it's somebody who is not biased, and that means they're going to keep it real with you. And that is the most important part of it. Therapy's been super helpful. I did not grow up with therapy in any way, but again, it has been a game changer for me. Now I want to tell you about BetterHelp. So many of my friends use BetterHelp. BetterHelp is awesome because you can do it on your phone. It's affordable, it's convenient.

Of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're gonna go, you're gonna meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it Here, you're gonna get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

- [34:24]
Bobby Bones
I. I texted you and you texted me back. Now, I don't know if you have the update, but, like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored.
- [34:31]
Matt Castle
They changed it and the.
- [34:32]
Bobby Bones
The heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm going to be honest, it was a little pink.
- [34:36]
Matt Castle
There was something sentimental when you, like when. When you send it, you was like, do I send the heart now?
- [34:43]
Bobby Bones
I don't like the color edition.
- [34:44]
Matt Castle
It's extremely pink.

Matt Castle
We have Presley on, who wants us to settle a debate between her and her husband. Presley, good morning.
- [34:57]
Bobby Bones
Welcome to the show.
- [34:58]
Lunchbox
Good morning, studio.
- [34:59]
Matt Castle
Morning. All right, Presley, what's up?
- [35:01]
Lunchbox
So basically in my pick, so when you go through a drive through and you have takeout, do you eat it immediately? Do you wait till you get home? So my husband won't even touch a fry. But, I mean, I'll eat a burger and drive with my knee, and he thinks I just have no patience whatsoever. But I'm. I want to eat it when it's hot, right? Or am I just crazy?
- [35:23]
Matt Castle
It's interesting that one of the options are eat it all in your car as you drive home. I would understand eating it to go to another place. Sometimes I have to eat lunch in my car if I'm going point A to B, but not home. Also, if I am going home, I.
- [35:37]
Bobby Bones
May have a Couple fries.
- [35:38]
Matt Castle
So I'm okay with that. But never do I think I ordered it. I'm going home. I need to eat it in the car on the way home. I will often get it and drive home and eat it comfortably. Unless I guess I'm ravenous and just so hungry. Presley. Doesn't sound super safe how you're eating, by the way. You know, the knees. With the knees. Not that we haven't done it, but can't encourage it. But I would think for the most part, an occasional fry or two is okay. I can also understand not wanting to touch it till we get home because it's like, we got this food we love. It's going to be an experience once we sit at the table and eat it. I wouldn't. If I'm going home, I'm not going to eat it until I get home. That would be what I would say.
- [36:16]
Bobby Bones
Amy.
- [36:17]
Amy
Yeah, I eat it when I get home. I think, yeah, I'll dabble. If it's something like there is a chip or a fry or something, I can just dig in and, like, have a little snaggy snack. But I'm gonna eat the meal when I get home.
- [36:26]
Matt Castle
And again, if you're going somewhere else. And that is your point, to eat. Yeah, I get it. But it's hilarious to go, let's go get some. Let's go pick up some takeout to go home and eat it and just eat it in the car.
- [36:36]
Amy
Yeah.
- [36:37]
Matt Castle
Or also, how about this? Since he doesn't want to eat it, how about he drives while you eat with.
- [36:41]
Bobby Bones
Eat your burger. Good point.
- [36:43]
Matt Castle
So you don't have to drive. I'm not gonna hate pressing on your style because that's an original style. I'm here for people to do original.
- [36:49]
Amy
Things, but I personally wrecked while eating food, so maybe that's also why I choose to wait till I get home.
- [36:55]
Matt Castle
And then you threw it in the glove box to not be ticketed for eating.
- [36:58]
Amy
Well, no, I was just embarrassed. I didn't. I didn't know police weren't involved. I just didn't want the person that I hit to know that it was because of my toast. My jelly toast.
- [37:09]
Matt Castle
It wasn't at all that you hit them and could have been called and, ma'am, why were you distracted? And you're like Wonder Bread, sir.
- [37:16]
Amy
Yeah, I don't know. I think it was just my. It was. It happened so fast. That was just my reaction. Throw the toast in the console.
- [37:21]
Matt Castle
I just ordered one in jelly in the console, though, is what I would yeah, yeah.
- [37:24]
Amy
Again, didn't think it all the way through.
- [37:26]
Matt Castle
It's why when I get angry, I don't, like, break stuff. I don't even get angry that often. But, like, I never have the part where I'm like, oh, punch a hole in the wall. Slam a tv, mostly. Aside from really not experiencing rage, I don't want to have to deal with a broken TV or a hole in the wall. Like, I can, I guess, think rationally in that way. I wouldn't throw my toast in the glove box because I would be like, I don't have to clean the glove box.
- [37:47]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [37:48]
Matt Castle
It's funny. We had an intern once, Lunchbox. She had made us some kind of tox or something. No, different one.
- [37:55]
Producer Eddie
Oh, that was a different one.
- [37:56]
Matt Castle
Yeah, man. We got multiple interns. We had one that got in a wreck and she was, like, bringing us French toast or something.
- [38:01]
Bobby Bones
Right.
- [38:02]
Matt Castle
And she threw it in her glove box as well. Yeah. So she wouldn't get a ticket.
- [38:05]
Amy
Hopefully she didn't learn that trick from me.
- [38:07]
Matt Castle
It may have been pre you that very brief period before you were with us. What was the crock pot one? Oh, she ran into the work wall.
- [38:14]
Amy
Yeah, yeah, it was Will it Uber?
- [38:16]
Matt Castle
Yeah.
- [38:17]
Amy
And it was a stinky.
- [38:19]
Matt Castle
We were.
- [38:21]
Eddie
That was a funny bit, dude.
- [38:22]
Matt Castle
I hated the bit. Here's why. The bit was hilarious. We would try to Uber really weird or gross things across town to go will it Uber. Except we use my Uber account. And so my stars went way down. I couldn't get a good Uber anymore, so. But, Presley, how do you feel about our judgment, in a fun way of you eating? Probably a little too quick.
- [38:43]
Lunchbox
I. I just was interested to hear other people's opinions because, I mean, you know, we're married, so he thinks I'm not patient anyway. But, I mean, I won't say I eat it every time I go for the whole entire meal, but the fact that he won't even just, like, take a few fries. Like, I'm definitely. My fries are gone before I get home. Like, I might not always go for the whole entire burger, but I'll eat all of the fries. I'll set up the dip like this. This sounds like I'm like, this sounds like I'm 411, like, £120. Like, I'm not. It's not like I just. I have an eating problem. I just. I guess I just have no patience.
- [39:23]
Matt Castle
Yeah, no, we didn't think you had an eating problem. It was a patience, not even an issue. I think it's your style. You go for it. You do your thing. None of us do that, though. I don't think I like to get home. I may have a fry or two, but I'm not pulling the full burger out. I've never set up a dip.
- [39:38]
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna be honest with you.
- [39:39]
Matt Castle
I've never set up a dip when I'm going home to eat chips in queso.
- [39:42]
Amy
But if you're going to a meeting.
- [39:44]
Matt Castle
Oh, yeah, yeah. I got a dip in this elbow. I'm paying credit.
- [39:47]
Bobby Bones
I'm paying off my credit card with this knee.
- [39:49]
Matt Castle
I got food in this hand.
- [39:51]
Eddie
You want to know how bad it is with me?
- [39:52]
Matt Castle
Why?
- [39:52]
Eddie
My wife holds the dip so, like, she'll have the ketchup dip, and I'll be driving. I'll get a fry, dip it as she holds it, and I'll eat it. That's just. That's how we've always done it.
- [40:03]
Matt Castle
I don't mind that.
- [40:04]
Bobby Bones
It's almost like an appetizer.
- [40:06]
Matt Castle
Let's treat it like an appetizer.
- [40:08]
Bobby Bones
Okay, lunchbox. What do you do?
- [40:11]
Producer Eddie
Oh, I eat it right away.
- [40:12]
Matt Castle
The whole burger.
- [40:12]
Producer Eddie
Even eat it because you want it to be warm. By the time you get home, it's cold.
- [40:18]
Matt Castle
Decent point. I don't know if you guys have this, but I have a microwave.
- [40:21]
Eddie
No, it's not the same, but I'd.
- [40:24]
Matt Castle
Rather have a slightly microwaved. Or you can oven it if it does, to not make it soggy, which I never do that. Then having to eat it right then in the car because I'm not comfortable. I like to be comfortable.
- [40:33]
Bobby Bones
I like to be in my shorts, cut off.
- [40:35]
Matt Castle
Presley, thank you so much. I think you should stay married. Okay.
- [40:38]
Lunchbox
Okay. Absolutely. And that's love. Eddie, hold it. Hold the dip. That's perfect.
- [40:42]
Eddie
That is love.
- [40:43]
Bobby Bones
That's marriage.
- [40:43]
Matt Castle
Also, let him drive if you're gonna eat.
- [40:45]
Lunchbox
Fair point. Fair point.
- [40:47]
Bobby Bones
All right, Preston, thank you for listening.
- [40:48]
Lunchbox
Thank you, guys.
- [40:49]
Matt Castle
It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.
- [40:55]
Eddie
Jerry Looney is a mailman from Topeka. And last year, he was on his route. He's delivering letters. He's putting opening mailboxes, and some guy runs up. He's covered in blood. Help me. Help me. Was Jerry. Dude. He's like, oh, my gosh. Where are you bleeding from? He sees where he's injured. He cuts his shirt, makes a tourniquet, and calls 911. And he sits there and prays with a man while 911 gets there. They saved the guy's life because they said that if Jerry wouldn't have done a tourniquet, he could have bled out. So now, a year later, the national association of Letter Carriers. It's a real thing. They're awarding him with an award.
- [41:31]
Matt Castle
We're going to challenge you on if it was real or not. Go ahead.
- [41:34]
Eddie
They're awarding him the Hero of the Year award. And he's going to go to D.C. is going to be a huge ceremony, and he's going to have to pay for nothing.
- [41:42]
Matt Castle
That's. That's that part.
- [41:43]
Amy
Let's hope not.
- [41:44]
Matt Castle
It's free. That's a great story. Good.
- [41:47]
Eddie
You know, we see. We see these stories all the time.
- [41:49]
Matt Castle
I know.
- [41:49]
Eddie
And we're like, oh, it's a hero. But this is certified hero. Jerry is a hero of the year.
- [41:55]
Matt Castle
To be calm and to be able to do that. Yeah, I think is that. I think I would just be screaming, crying, kicking both of you guys.
- [42:02]
Amy
No, don't forget, I have a tourniquet in my car if you all ever need it.
- [42:06]
Eddie
Okay?
- [42:07]
Matt Castle
Okay.
- [42:07]
Amy
Like a legit tourniquet.
- [42:08]
Eddie
We'll remember that.
- [42:09]
Matt Castle
We won't. We will remember that for sure. Okay. Thank you. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. These are flowers not to give your wife or girlfriend on Valentine's Day for different reasons. Which, by the way, I'm about to check in with all you guys and see where you are. And if there's a super surprise you have, you don't have to say what it is, but I have a feeling that the guys on the show have prepared. None, Amy. Just my raw guess.
- [42:36]
Amy
Yeah.
- [42:37]
Matt Castle
So Valentine's Day's coming up. Do not get her sneeze weed. Oh, gosh, it's that one. Just.
- [42:44]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [42:45]
Matt Castle
If there's a sign that says sale on sneeze weed, I'd probably stay away from that in general. Don't get her humped bladder wart. Don't get her corn cockle.
- [42:55]
Amy
These are real flowers?
- [42:57]
Matt Castle
Yes. Don't give your love these flowers on Valentine's Day. Don't give her toes.
- [43:05]
Amy
I think that those are pretty, though.
- [43:07]
Bobby Bones
Excuse me.
- [43:08]
Eddie
Are they.
- [43:10]
Matt Castle
I don't. I don't know what any flower is other than a rose and a sunflower. I think I know a tulip. Are tulips yellow?
- [43:18]
Amy
Tulips can be multiple colors. They can be different ones.
- [43:21]
Matt Castle
Let's go around the room here with the guys. Oh, boy. Again, if you have some crazy big surprise, you don't have to spoil it. You can just say, got A crazy big surprise. Although you're lying. But let's go to lunchbox first. Lunchbox? Valentine's Day is coming up.
- [43:34]
Producer Eddie
Yeah, I guess I should probably think about that. I haven't been thinking about that at all. I mean, maybe it's a super secret surprise that I can come pull out of a hat, but right now I got nothing on the agenda, man. I don't have anything planned at all.
- [43:48]
Matt Castle
It is Friday, so you're not going to be able at this point to get a really great reservation at even, you know, one of your favorite places that you normally go to.
- [43:57]
Bobby Bones
So that's out.
- [43:57]
Matt Castle
Unless you want to go at like 10 o'clock or you want to grab some pussy toes and eat at 4pm so that's not gonna.
- [44:04]
Producer Eddie
Yeah, I probably won't get flowers till at least the next day because they'll be on sale. You go on Valentine's Day, you'll pay triple the price. So you might as well wait till the 15th, get some and she'll be just as happy.
- [44:16]
Matt Castle
Can't agree with that second part. And Valentine's Day, again, not super important to everybody. I'm not thinking it should be, but I think there should be some sort of. Hey, I know this day's Valentine's Day. Here's a little something at minimal. Right. Mostly too, at work, if everybody's like getting flowers and getting love and your wife's the one that's not like that. Kind of sucks for her. Eddie, let's go to you been married for how long?
- [44:37]
Eddie
Oh, gosh, almost 20 years. 19 years. And there's no surprise.
- [44:41]
Matt Castle
It's.
- [44:42]
Eddie
It's just what we do every year. Go get some sushi, a bottle of wine, and then we put the kids to bed early and then we just stay up late, her and I watch a movie, maybe a little romantic movie.
- [44:52]
Matt Castle
Yeah, that's satisfactory.
- [44:54]
Eddie
Oh, that's what we do almost every year. And she loves it. And I ask her after every, every time, was this cool? Like, are you cool with this? She's like, oh, this is great.
- [45:01]
Matt Castle
I think it's great too, to build a tradition, because then you don't have to think of something every year. Like, that's the million dollar play right there.
- [45:08]
Eddie
Do you always do restaurants?
- [45:10]
Matt Castle
No, but we have for the most part. I shall not reveal mine until after Valentine's Day, as I do. It's my love language, though. I'm not trying to impress anybody, but I'm not the greatest. What are some of the other, like, I. My love language is efficiency. But.
- [45:27]
Amy
But that's not a real love language.
- [45:29]
Matt Castle
No, it is. It is. It is. But what. What are some of them? Amy? Yeah, I'm not a big toucher. I love to get gifts. Like, that's what this is for me. It's an opportunity to show my love through the love language that I choose.
- [45:41]
Amy
But your wife's quality time and words of affirmation.
- [45:44]
Matt Castle
Words of affirmation I kind of suck at. Like, I say stuff, but these are not the ones she wants to hear.
- [45:49]
Amy
And then there's acts of service.
- [45:52]
Matt Castle
What's the difference in that? Like, quality time.
- [45:54]
Amy
Acts of service. Okay, so let me tell you the exact difference. Quality time will be just making time to be together. Like, are you being intentional about that? Acts of service might be like, you know, your wife loves to wake up and have coffee or hot lemon water, whatever, and you get up before her, and you go and you put on the pot of water and you make it, and you take it to her, and you're like, here's your hot lemon water. Because I know you love it. And you could walk away after that. That's an act of service. It's not quality time.
- [46:20]
Matt Castle
I feel like it's a gift.
- [46:22]
Amy
Well, no, it's not a gift. It's an act of service.
- [46:24]
Matt Castle
Or, you know, service was like being a mailman for a day or something.
- [46:29]
Amy
Yeah.
- [46:29]
Matt Castle
You know, I'm going to go and serve some people. Going to wait tables. Yeah.
- [46:33]
Amy
You know, her car needs to be vacuumed out and that. She hates doing that. But you go vacuum it out. I'm just telling you an act of service.
- [46:40]
Matt Castle
Okay, so mine. Mine is. My love language is giving gifts. It's also getting gifts. My love language that I like to receive in. But I will not share it. But I. I've been planning mine for about six weeks. The. The trouble is that what's difficult for me is it is like Kaitlyn palooza, because Christmas, December 25, her birthday, first week of January, Valentine's Day, February 14. So it's like I got to batten down the hatches and get ready because it's. It's boom, boom, boom, boom. And I like doing it, but, man.
- [47:12]
Bobby Bones
I wish it was spread out a.
- [47:12]
Matt Castle
Little more because that's. It's tough to be awesome that. That many times that quick. But you know what? It's a job I signed up for. I will let you guys know after Valentine's Day what mine is, but I promise you, and I say this, and I. I mean it sincerely, I am not getting your pussy Toes. I was thinking about it before this, but I'm not anymore.
- [47:29]
Amy
Okay?
- [47:29]
Matt Castle
And for everybody out there, just a reminder again, you can go Valentine's Day stupid. I get it. I would still do just a little something. Even if you do nothing. Usually a little something just so she feels special. It. Listen, it's a stupid day made up by stupid companies, but I'm. That doesn't mean that her feelings aren't going to be hurt if something doesn't happen.
- [47:55]
Amy
You know what my friend did? She ordered this cute little pottery at home. Like at home pottery kit. And that's what she's gonna. Her and her husband are gonna do for Valentine's Day. Like, she ordered it. It was pretty inexpensive. But they now have an activity to do. They don't have to go out, they're staying home. And they're gonna have a cute little memory from, you know, February 14, 2025, whatever little piece of pottery they put together. Isn't that cute?
- [48:20]
Matt Castle
Feel about her getting and organizing the activity.
- [48:25]
Amy
Oh, that's fine because she just loves planning ahead and doing that. And he loves art and activities. They do, like painting together at home. And they're real into crafts. So I. I guess I'm okay with it. I guess I hadn't thought of that part. But she already. She already took the reins, so that's what they're doing.
- [48:42]
Matt Castle
And the reason I'm okay with it too, is because he's probably doing something he normally wouldn't do, but he's doing it for her. If she's ordering it, he's still doing it for her.
- [48:49]
Amy
Yeah.
- [48:49]
Matt Castle
Okay. Hey, Happy Valentine's Day, everybody. Can't wait to hear what you guys do. Lunchbox is really excited about what you got going on this year, buddy.
- [48:55]
Producer Eddie
Oh, thank you, man. It's gonna be epic.
- [48:57]
Matt Castle
Epic. Yes, it is. Okay, Amy, what happened?
- [49:01]
Amy
So I was at a basketball game and ran into some parents that I know their kid was playing on the other team that I was there for. And they started talking about how their son stayed home from school because he wasn't feeling well yet. Then he showed up at the game to play. And I didn't say anything to the parents, but my face definitely indicated that I was confused by their complete disregard for other kids health and well being. Because I'm like, well, now what if he gets his teammate sick? Also, it's basketball. There's lots of contact. Like you get someone else on the other team sick. It just seemed very irresponsible and I was super annoyed. And they were almost Just acting like, ah, it's no big deal. I'm like, this is a big deal. Like people are getting sick left and right. This is annoying.
- [49:43]
Matt Castle
Well, first on this show, if you have any sickness, illness at all, I don't want you coming in because you get anybody else sick. It's different with sports. Yeah, it's different with sports.
- [49:53]
Amy
Why?
- [49:54]
Matt Castle
Because if you're gonna hurt your team more by being gone than you would being sick, even if you're playing it 60, you gotta show up and play because they're relying on you.
- [50:08]
Amy
But what about it is so hypocritical.
- [50:11]
Matt Castle
I know, it's so hypocritical.
- [50:12]
Amy
Sick or someone from the other team gets sick.
- [50:15]
Matt Castle
You ever heard of the flu game?
- [50:17]
Amy
No.
- [50:17]
Matt Castle
Michael Jordan? They say it's bad pizza. No, I don't think so. I he. If you're sick or you're hurt and you can go and you're going to help your team more than you're going to hurt your team by missing, you show up when you play the game.
- [50:31]
Amy
This is middle school basketball. This is not the NBA.
- [50:34]
Matt Castle
But it's where culture starts. It's. You're 12. I know, I'm such a hypocrite. But I, if I were sick, I would not want to be around any of you to get you sick. Unless we were playing some kind of morning show beach volleyball tournament. And I'd be there for you guys. It didn't matter what I had. If I had the runs, I would be there.
- [50:53]
Amy
Okay, but that's maybe not contagious. Like, if it is, it doesn't matter.
- [50:57]
Matt Castle
It doesn't matter what the contagious is in sports. I, I'm going to play. It does not matter. I give no regards to anybody else. My team, the other team, I've signed up on this team to win.
- [51:08]
Bobby Bones
If.
- [51:08]
Matt Castle
And if I'm a vital part of that. We only have, let's say 18 games a year or high school football. We had 10, plus the playoffs. I'm going to be there.
- [51:17]
Amy
What if you're not a vital part? You can skip it.
- [51:21]
Matt Castle
Yeah, if I'm just going to sit the bench the whole time. No, I'm. This is not even joking. If I'm sitting the bench the whole time, I'm not going to go because I might get other people sick. But if me missing could cost the team the game, even if that is.
- [51:33]
Amy
Really thinking highly of yourself or if you're a parent thinking highly of your kid, it's not.
- [51:38]
Matt Castle
If you know what their role and their Impact is on the team. I'm not talking about me specifically.
- [51:42]
Amy
Yeah, but what if you're taking away a chance of your kid being gone and then another kid getting time to shine.
- [51:48]
Matt Castle
Time to shine means he sucks and he should. He doesn't get time to shine because usually he's on the bench.
- [51:52]
Amy
No, because hello, we talk about Wally Pip.
- [51:55]
Matt Castle
That's not how we talk about Wally Pip.
- [51:58]
Amy
No, no. If someone doesn't get taken out of.
- [52:00]
Matt Castle
The game and you don't want to compare that to Wally Pitt because that means your kid never gets to play again because the kid that wasn't sick just took a job.
- [52:05]
Amy
Well, that's just hey meant to be. Think of how happy the other kids parents are now.
- [52:11]
Matt Castle
Their kids like the star in sports. If you are a part of the team, a vital part of the team and you're sick and you can still play to the level of you're contributing, you need to go and show up for the game.
- [52:24]
Amy
No, because now you're going to go get someone from the other team or your team sick. They go home, they get their parents sick and then maybe their grandparent lives with them and they have a frail immunity and now their grandpa dies and all because you wanted to show up to win the game.
- [52:38]
Matt Castle
It's all because I needed six points and eight rebounds.
- [52:40]
Bobby Bones
My standard.
- [52:41]
Amy
If we're making up all these hypotheticals, then there's no. No, just killed the grandpa.
- [52:46]
Matt Castle
No hypotheticals. Let's. Let's go to the dudes because we're stupid. Lunchbox.
- [52:51]
Producer Eddie
Oh, I think it was a great decision to have him go play the game. He rested all day so maybe he was feeling better by the time it was game time. If he was at school, his body would have been worn down. I could understand him not playing the game, but he stayed home, drank some Gatorade, got some medicine in his system. Go play the game. Spreading germs during a game, not really going to happen.
- [53:10]
Matt Castle
You're going to your teammates, you go to teammates. Even if he does not feeling good from. Even if he's like, I'm going to go to school and fight it so I can get you doing it for the team.
- [53:18]
Producer Eddie
You committed when you signed up to play basketball. You signed up to be a teammate. And teammates are there through thick and thin, sickness and health.
- [53:28]
Matt Castle
Eddie.
- [53:28]
Eddie
And this is easy.
- [53:29]
Bobby Bones
Amy.
- [53:30]
Eddie
Amy's not a sports parent. I mean Amy, you. No, no, you're not. Look, they need to play the game they like Bobby said they depend on even if you're a bench player. They need you to go in for those two minutes to make someone.
- [53:41]
Matt Castle
If you're a bench player, do you sick, don't go in. You'll get everybody. It's not worth it. If you to lose a game because you miss and you're sick, that's worth it.
- [53:49]
Eddie
But at this age, Bones, the bench players role is to get that starter some rest. So you go in for two minutes, get that, get that superstar rest, and then he goes back in.
- [53:57]
Matt Castle
I disagree with that completely. If you're not a starter and you're not contributing, you don't worry about it. But if you're a starter and you're contributing, I don't care what you got. Ebola Covid, you let her rip. You go and you're there for your team. We can disagree on that, Amy, and we shall.
- [54:13]
Amy
And also, what my big takeaway from this is, we all are not allowed to come into work at all whatsoever if we're feeling sick. So clearly none of us are that important.
- [54:22]
Matt Castle
Correct. And secondly, who does. Who does come. Who does come in when they're sick?
- [54:28]
Amy
You do.
- [54:29]
Matt Castle
That's right.
- [54:31]
Amy
You know what?
- [54:31]
Matt Castle
Take it for what it's worth, I think you made a great point.
- [54:35]
Bobby Bones
A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks. For me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here. You're going to get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

- [56:28]
Producer Eddie
Women are Crazy. All right, are you ready?
- [56:31]
Matt Castle
Yes.
- [56:31]
Producer Eddie
Oh, my goodness. Husband, wife. They're together. They have a daughter that's about to start college. And the wife's like, look, we don't have money to pay for college. What if we sell one of your kidneys on the black market? He's like, I'm not doing that. Not doing it. So months go by, and she keeps talking to him about it. Hey, we need to sell a kidney. We need to sell a kidney. We need to sell a kidney. And finally, he's like, you know what? Let's do it. It's for our daughter. I'll sell a kidney. They find a buyer. They get $11,500. The kidney is removed. He's in recovery. She takes the money and elopes with another dude.
- [57:12]
Amy
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
- [57:16]
Matt Castle
Women are crazy.
- [57:17]
Amy
That is crazy.
- [57:18]
Producer Eddie
Women are crazy.
- [57:20]
Eddie
This is a good one.
- [57:22]
Amy
I mean, honestly, I can't even argue this one, but, I mean, he's kind of crazy that he did it.
- [57:29]
Matt Castle
He wasn't crazy. He was. He was giving his body to put his kid through school.
- [57:33]
Amy
He fell for it. He fell for it.
- [57:35]
Matt Castle
No, it doesn't make him crazy because he fell for it, man. She stayed on him for months.
- [57:40]
Bobby Bones
Golly.
- [57:41]
Amy
She was dedicated to that.
- [57:43]
Matt Castle
Oh, wow. And then found a way to get the kidney removed. Like, how do you even go. Where do you even go to have that done? And then you get it, you sell it, you get the money, and then you bail with another dude.
- [57:51]
Eddie
This is the ultimate got. Like, what does this guy do? Like, I got got.
- [57:55]
Bobby Bones
And then what's the other dude?
- [57:56]
Matt Castle
We don't even know the other dude. But let's say the dude person three who she leaves with, is he like, waiting by the whole time going, you can get him. Get that kidney. Oh, let's get out of here.
- [58:04]
Bobby Bones
Just.
- [58:05]
Matt Castle
Just try this angle. Imagine you're in the hospital and she's gone with another dude. Like, I don't agree with Lunchbox that women are crazy, but this woman is. Did they. They find her? Do we know what's up?
- [58:15]
Producer Eddie
They have not said anything about facing charges or anything, so.
- [58:19]
Bobby Bones
Wow.
- [58:20]
Matt Castle
And do you think this is a typical woman thing or can you admit it's a one time? This is not specifically women related. That people can be crazy.
- [58:28]
Producer Eddie
No, this is women are crazy. Like, women.
- [58:32]
Eddie
I mean, he does keep doing this story.
- [58:35]
Matt Castle
No, it isn't. It's. It's. We're episode three. Right. I thought. I thought maybe episode one, and we canceled this.
- [58:40]
Eddie
Wow.
- [58:40]
Matt Castle
But that's. That's. That's a. That's a good one there. Amy, your thoughts?
- [58:44]
Amy
I mean, this is low. I feel like this is psychotic.
- [58:49]
Matt Castle
Are you being convinced?
- [58:50]
Amy
No, I don't think that she's a swing voter. Well, I think that men are. Humans in general can be crazy. I don't want to just isolate this. I'm sure we can find a man that got a woman to donate an organ somewhere.
- [59:03]
Matt Castle
Surely, I mean, if we tried, I bet we can't run off with anybody else.
- [59:06]
Amy
We can. Are you kidding me?
- [59:08]
Matt Castle
Okay, can I say this then? Let me hop in and give a different angle. What if it was all the dude's idea and he convinced the woman to do all the work?
- [59:17]
Amy
Yeah.
- [59:17]
Matt Castle
So it could be dude.
- [59:19]
Bobby Bones
I'm.
- [59:19]
Matt Castle
I'm grasping, but I'm saying this could be that dude she ran away with doing. Now she still had to convince her husband. There's a lot.
- [59:27]
Amy
Like, there's all that. Like some of his stories, there seems to always be a man involved somewhere.
- [59:32]
Matt Castle
Yeah.
- [59:32]
Producer Eddie
You know why? Because women are crazy.
- [59:34]
Bobby Bones
So what's this.
- [59:35]
Matt Castle
What's this show called again?
- [59:36]
Producer Eddie
It's called Women are Crazy.
- [59:38]
Matt Castle
God. I just want to make sure.
- [59:39]
Amy
I mean, okay, I'm just gonna have to start collecting all those stories that I see of men being crazy, and I'm just gonna have to have them, like a stack of them, so that anytime he does this, I'll be like, I counter your woman, your crazy woman with this man. And then that'll show y'all. It's evil.
- [59:55]
Matt Castle
Like brutal murderers, women are, like, smarter. So they do the conniving, crazier stuff.
- [59:59]
Eddie
But if we do do this, though, can we keep a tally and see who Wins, like, after 20, just to kind of figure out?
- [60:06]
Amy
Yeah, you'll have to vote, maybe.
- [60:07]
Matt Castle
I don't think men are. I think men are more ruthless and women are a bit crazy, I think, because women's hormones react in a different way. Men are just awful. Like, we're naturally awful. We don't need hormones. We're just naturally awful. Women at times can be affected by their hormones, and they don't be awful. They could be sweet. But they do change. And that. That is. Lunchbox presents Women are Crazy. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. On Tuesday afternoon, a box truck collided with a flatbed truck on a bridge north of New Orleans. One of the trucks is bigger than the other. The smaller truck lost. They hit, and it goes off the bridge into the water. The driver was traveling in the far right lane, flips over. Boom. He managed to escape the vehicle. A boat sees it, comes up, grabs the guy out of the water because obviously he was a little hurt from the situation. And they took the guy into the hospital, and he's fine, but the guy was like, is that boat hadn't been there? I don't know if I'd have been able to keep swimming because this is, like, out in the middle of the bridge. It's not. It's one of those really long bridges. So imagine you're also on a boat and you see two trucks hit.
- [61:20]
Eddie
Oh, be crazy.
- [61:22]
Matt Castle
Would you go toward it?
- [61:23]
Eddie
No.
- [61:25]
Matt Castle
Hey, I appreciate your honesty. I think we would hog. I think we'd all go over, right?
- [61:31]
Eddie
Yeah, we'd probably stop.
- [61:32]
Matt Castle
And how lucky for that guy to get out of that truck, too. His windows must have been down because that air sucks you in when you're going in, right?
- [61:39]
Amy
Yeah. Or they say this is a kick out the back window, but if you're injured. Oh, yeah, true.
- [61:45]
Matt Castle
Like, what do you do? Great. Yeah, Great job. By this. And I'm looking at his boat. He's right over there. The guy's, like, floating in the water, grabs him, throws him in the boat, gets into the hospital. Right place, right time, perfect place, perfect time. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones.
- [62:02]
Bobby Bones
