[Lunchbox]

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on.

[Amy]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

This is about the O. Let's go. Welcome to Monday Show Morning Studio Morning. Another loser scratch off here. I've been doing 50 scratch offs every day. Another loser. How can we do so many stories about people winning and I have been doing one every day since the first of the year. I've won a little here and there. I'm down a couple hundred bucks, but like one of these, I'm starting to turn to the lunchbox. Like, one of these has got to be like a winner. I've done so many. I'm just such a loser. So I. I have not hit my New Year's resolution yet. So there's the update. It's a sad one. I can't wait to come in one day and be like, guys, I did it. It's going to be one of my greatest accomplishments. Cuz I'm not quitting. I'm not quitting even if you hit.

[Lunchbox]

The big, big, big one.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, no. I'm not quitting until I hit.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I know you meant quitting your job.

[Amy]

Even if we get into like 20, 26.

[Bobby Bones]

No, end of the year, I'll quit. Cuz it's. It's a year thing. Okay, Yeah, I guess there are a lot of reasons I would quit, like if I hit or if the year is over. But I will not stop this year until I hit my resolution. It's just. I'm just trying to win the lottery. How hard is it? But I got a stack of tickets here, and so that's it. That's what I'm doing. Here's the question. We'll start the show off with. What do you have too much of? What do you have too much of? Eddie, you go first.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, mine's easy. I have those floss picks. I have them everywhere because I have a gap between the two back teeth, like my molars that, like, food just always gets stuck. So, like, I have a pile in the kitchen. I have one in the bathroom by my bed. Look, right here in my pocket. I do. I have them everywhere. My car. And I realized, like, I just have too much of these.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Amy, what do you have too much of?

[Amy]

Not everybody has too many things happening at once. Hey, that's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

There were no rules on the game.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there were no rules on the game. You're right. Thoughts? You have too many thoughts. I feel you.

[Amy]

Yeah. Some people have one thought at a time.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Too much of I have too many golf balls.

[Eddie]

I would say I have a thousand golf balls in a closet.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

See, I don't have anything like that.

[Eddie]

No, no, here's the problem. I will climb through bushes because they're free golf balls. And I mean, I will get cuts. You mean used golf balls? Yeah, used golf balls. Like someone hit them in the woods and you see them in there and I'm like, oh, I got to get that golf ball. And I. And I can't even use that many golf balls. But I have a Thousand of them in a bucket in the closet.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the fact that the penny could be discontinued? And you love picking up pennies?

[Eddie]

That's very sad, too, because I climb through hoops to get pennies and quarters and nickels and dimes. I mean, I will climb behind a cash register store to get any coin. I see.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you get behind a cash register at a store? It's like you're robbing.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's a little weird.

[Eddie]

Well, like, if you're, like, at Walgreens and you walk like there's two registers, there's one to the right and one to the left. You want walk by the one on the left. It's. There's a little gap in there where the cashier stands. If there's no one in there, there's coins on the ground. You climb.

[Bobby Bones]

You go behind the register looking for coins. If no one's in the. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Is that not okay?

[Lunchbox]

That's not your money, man.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not your money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's called stealing. I think mine is shoes. I'm slowly getting rid of a lot of shoes. Oh. And I wear a very common size, so. Which is 11.

[Amy]

Like, when you say you're getting rid of them, you mean, like, gifting them to friends? That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I have way too many shoes, and shoes take up a lot of space, so that would be mine. Morgan, what about you?

[Amy]

Oh, rubber ducks. They're on my Jeep. They're in the garage. They're in the house. They're in the glove compartment.

[Bobby Bones]

What happened with some. The dead duck?

[Amy]

Oh, it wasn't mine, but, yeah, somebody got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody got de. Like, a real life dead duck. So if you have a jeep, they put rubber ducks. Morgan's is stacked with them because it's dudes hitting on her all the time, but. So you read that someone was in town here.

[Amy]

Yeah. Somebody had left, like, a dead duck on a Jeep and they just had to, like, throw it in the trash.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would someone leave a dead duck? Is that like, I'm going to kill you, I don't like you. Is that negative in Jeep culture?

[Amy]

Doesn't sound. That's never happened before. My guess is it's either somebody who is a Jeep owner and, like, doesn't like the duck trend or didn't like this person and utilized the duck trend.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like leaving poop in a bag on a porch or something.

[Eddie]

It's you're dead to me is what I say. Like, you know what I mean? We had a relationship this duck signifies the end of our relationship.

[Amy]

Like a crazy ex.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless it's another duck hunter, buddy. And you gotta, you know, you know, Mallory and tag until you just leave it on their Jeep. Like Riley Green joke. Yeah, Riley Green driving around.

[Amy]

Cut them off.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. All right, well, we're here. Glad everybody's with us. Amy, anything else you have too much of?

[Amy]

Honestly, I don't really have too much of. I mean, I have a. I have a normal amount of things.

[Bobby Bones]

I have everything I think, except for.

[Amy]

Thoughts and tabs open on my computer.

[Bobby Bones]

Tabs open on the computer. Okay. That's a pretty good one.

[Amy]

Yeah, I have a lot open right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and I are expecting our first child, but my mother in law is making everything about her. She's planning a nursery at her house without asking us, telling everyone she'll be taking care of our baby after my wife returns to work. Even tried to come to doctor's appointments. My wife says this is just how her mom shows love. But it's making me start to dread becoming a parent. This is supposed to be the happiest time in our lives, but my mother in law is ruining it. How do I set boundaries without causing family drama? Signed trouble with a mother in law. So I will say this. You're very lucky to be annoyed by this. You have somebody that cares. I can for sure see why you would be annoyed, because at times people can be a bit overbearing, a bit controlling. But why I would be fortunate in this situation is that it is totally out of love. So first of all, temper your annoyance because this mother in law is doing this out of love, not out of spite, which I'm sure is going to happen at different times and for different reasons. So that's what I will say first. Now, we don't have kids yet, so it's hard for me to do the whole having a baby, mother in law hopping in. Eddie, what would be your advice here?

[Lunchbox]

Get it early. You have to set those boundaries early. I remember when we had our first son, it was my parents that were kind of the tough ones. They would just show up unexpectedly. And I remember from different states, no, from San Antonio, which was like an hour and a half drive. But they would just, ding, ding, we're here. Where's the baby? And we just had to draw that line early, like, you know, this is our family. Let us know when you're coming, that kind of stuff. Because grandparents do feel, I don't know what it is. I'm not a grandparent. But they do feel like, oh, once that grandchild is born, like, yes, they're mine. We want to love them, we want to spoil them. And it's really hard on the parents. So I say just set those boundaries early and let them know immediately that this is how it's going to be.

[Bobby Bones]

Never did I hear you say how fortunate you were that your parents or her parents cared so much. You were just annoyed.

[Lunchbox]

You don't feel that, man. You're just like, what are you doing showing up in my house lunchbox?

[Eddie]

Listen, man, I'm gonna tell you what. I'm gonna be the exact opposite. You are so lucky that you have family close by. You know how much money you're gonna save by not sending that kid to daycare if they are willing to watch your kid for free? Oh, my gosh. When the baby is born and your wife goes back to work and you got free daycare, you should be thanking the heavens, dude, your pocketbook is gonna be fatter now. Coming to the appointments. Tell her to kick rocks. Like, this is for me and my wife and our baby. If I can't make it, you can go to the appointment, but we don't need you showing up at. You can tell her straight up and say, we thank you. Make a nursery. You are going to be such a good grandma and you're going to watch that kid for free.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe she comes to an occasional appointment or so so she doesn't. That's right.

[Eddie]

I'm just saying, like, it's great. I know mother in laws can be annoying. In laws can be annoying. My mother in law is annoying a lot of the times. But the fact that they are willing to watch the baby for free and they are already all on board, that is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There you go. I think it's pretty good. Little selection of opinions, all that kind of say the same thing. You need a little boundary. But appreciate right now what you will for sure appreciate later. And that would be these people, these in laws, these mother and father, loving the baby and wanting to be there. Best thing about your let's do best and worst best thing about your in laws. Eddie, go first.

[Lunchbox]

The best thing about my in laws, they are very sweet and kind. They're like, I can talk to them very easily about things. That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Can we do best thing about mother in law specifically? Since it's mother in law. Okay. Best thing about mother in law. Go.

[Lunchbox]

My mother in law loves me. She loves me.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the best thing about her. She loves you.

[Lunchbox]

She loves me. Out of the three son in laws that she has, I'm her favorite.

[Bobby Bones]

Does every son in law feel that way, though?

[Lunchbox]

It's kind of on them though. They like, they just don't get close to her. She loves me. We talk all the time. She's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

The best thing about her, she loves you. Got it. Lunchbox. Best thing about your mother in law. Oh, man.

[Eddie]

Best thing about my mother in law is she cares.

[Amy]

She does care.

[Eddie]

Oh, she cares about me. But I would say about the kids, like, I mean, she's willing to, like, if we want to take a, a weekend away, she's willing to travel here to watch the kids. Like, she's willing to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's from Texas.

[Eddie]

From Texas. So she's willing to be involved, which is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I would say the best thing about my mother in law is that she is wildly funny. It's where my wife gets it. My mother in law is cutting funny. No prisoners, by the way. Nobody is safe. All for the sake of being hilarious. And she is very consistent. Meaning she's been very consistent with her kids, my wife, her whole life. Like the one thing that they have had through their parents is consistency. So that would be my mother in law worst thing.

[Lunchbox]

All right, that's good.

[Eddie]

We're done.

[Bobby Bones]

We gotta do best. Worst, Eddie. Worst.

[Lunchbox]

You know, she kind of like makes herself at home little bit too much. Like, she, she comes, she comes to our house and she's like, all right, this is not in the right place. This is. No, you don't need that. She throws stuff away. Things like that. She can work on that lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Yeah, she overstays her welcome and she is definitely miscorrection. Oh, you're not doing, like, you're not doing the laundry, right? You're not doing the, the dishes. You don't put the dishes in that cabinet. You don't want. The cups are too high. How are the kids going to reach them? But I mean, like, we have a stool they can climb. Well, you don't want them up on a stool because what if you're not in the room? It's like, all right, look, we, we get along without you being here. So when you're here, we don't need to change everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Mine's probably. She's not around enough. Oh, my God, I'm in a different state. I don't get to see. I don't get to see them enough.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, well, we, we, we meant that too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like there's not like a direct flight, so they don't ever you know, it's a whole process to get over here. They don't come here enough. When they do stay, they don't stay long enough.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, that's the worst part. She's got to work on that.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, exactly. And it hurts me to say that, but I want honest about it. Okay. Trouble with mother in law. Just be grateful for what you have. If you need a boundary set on, very gently, because you're gonna really need them to be around later. Hey, Bones. All right, here we go. Amy all the time.

[Amy]

So my son came home from school and was like, hey, I really think we need to keep marshmallows in the house in case we get sick. And I'm like, what in the world are you talking about? Well, he got a little confused. But he had learned about the marshmallow plant and how there were things that use. Like they used back in 1800s to help. Help with sore throat and different illnesses. And they started to make little treats out of the plant. And that's where the marshmallow came from. And so people were eating marshmallows to feel better. Now, marshmallows today, like that you get at the grocery store on the shelves, they don't have the same ingredients as they were making back then, but I thought it was interesting. And I was like, oh, who knew that that's where marshmallows came from? And now my son thinks those just like marshmallows all the time at the house just so you can stay healthy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, if I were a marshmallow company, I would market. We're medicine. Secondly, I did not know there was a marshmallow plant. Like, call me dumb. I had no idea that marshmallow was a plant.

[Amy]

I had no idea either. You're not dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

Marshmallow plant facts, guys. Ready for this?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to learn a little something this morning? First of all, do the marshmallows that grow on the plant.

[Amy]

No, no. The marshmallows were from the marshmallow plant. They came up with the recipe to make the little tasty treat, and that's what they called the marshmallow.

[Bobby Bones]

I just picture a plant with big marshmallows hanging off that you pluck and eat like it's apple.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So it grows up to 4 to 5ft tall, velvety leaves, and it has flowers just like any other plant. It looks nothing like a marshmallow. And I'm very disappointed.

[Amy]

Right? Because Bobby, the marshmallow.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard everything you said. I'm just very.

[Lunchbox]

What is a marshmallow? Like sugar and the marshmallow plants.

[Bobby Bones]

Sugar, the edible parts of a marshmallow plant. The roots, leaves, and the flowers are edible and have been used in tea soups and herbal remedies. It attracts bees and butterflies. But it says nothing about s'more. I'm very disappointed that there's nothing about a s'more.

[Amy]

Right? Yeah. No, you can. It helps aid in digestion. They would use it topically to soothe irritated skin. Again, this is all back in the 1800s, but the dosing was if you were 2 to 5 years old, you would eat, like, half a marshmallow, but six times a day. How fun would that be? And then if you're older than five, one marshmallow a day. A full one. Like, one marshmallow six times a day. Excuse me.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. We just learned something here. I had no idea a marshmallow plant existed. How do marshmallow plants turn into marshmallows? Here's your answer. They extract the SAP from the root, mixing it with sugar and egg whites, and whip it into a fluffy confection.

[Amy]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's the SAP from the root and the mallow plant.

[Amy]

But, like, what's in the marshmallow today at the grocery store? Because we can't be. I can't eat.

[Bobby Bones]

Who cares? But I feel like eating one now. Okay, we learned a little something here. All right. There you go. That's Amy all the time. This show is sponsored by Better Help.

So if you do spiral for me, if I do spiral, I'm like, I'm already loaded with these tools. 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.

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.

Come on, it's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Eddie]

Matt Queen owns a barber shop in Garden City, Ohio called Cadillac Mats Barber shop. And his family served in the military. He's like I gotta find a way to give back to military veterans. And so he said, you know what? Any veteran you get a free haircut. Just come by the shop, they get a free haircut and shave whenever they come in.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome. And so is the name Cadillac Matt. Like if I were like a DJ in the 70s, Cadillac Matt that have been a good one.

[Lunchbox]

We ever had a 35 year old president? You should. That'd be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

We should have a. If we're gonna have a low, we should have a high. It's always been my thoughts, if you're going to have an age restriction, you need to have a low and high.

[Amy]

Oh, for sure. We need to implement a high.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

You need both sooner than later.

Yeah, we need every president now is like over 100. It's like, what are we doing? We get into a weird cycle here. Okay, sorry. Lunchbox and Eddie, you're no Longer citizens. It's been revoked.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yep. And give us one more. What does the H.W. stand for? In George H.W. you? Bush.

[Amy]

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was Homer.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna go speed around? Speed around.

[Amy]

Speed round with you.

[Lunchbox]

Don't be scared.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing great. I'm doing great. So let's just go speed around. Buzzing with your name. Go ahead. Ray, what president is on the $50 bill? Go ahead. That's right.

[Amy]

Okay. And I told it because I had to study for that with Stevenson. And you know how I remembered it? The S. I made the S. The S. Like a five. Well, this is how I was teaching him to remember it. Five. Like you lost his s. Grant. Five. And then. Oh. Because we know he's not the five dollar bill.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. It's the 50 you won.

[Amy]

Crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there she is. I'm out of here. I gotta go back to now, wherever my ancestors are from.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, you're deported too.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even know. We're all out of here. It sucks. Congratulations. Amy is our President's day winner. One more time for our champion. And Amy, everybody. Do you see where Dwight Howard was sharing a toothbrush with his girl?

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. He's on Twitter. And they're sitting there. They're both at the sink, and he brushes his teeth. And then she washes it off and puts it in her mouth and uses the same toothbrush. And I don't get grossed out by a lot of things. And I was like, oh, me too.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I do get grossed out. But I can't believe people do that, like, on purpose. You're, like, in the woods. You've been lost for nine days. You know, still. I'd probably use a branch. That is so gross. I know. Some people do it. Okay. Around. Do you share a toothbrush with your wife?

[Lunchbox]

To the guys here, no chance. Like, that is the one thing I will not do.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the only thing.

[Lunchbox]

No. Hey, we'll do all kinds of things.

[Bobby Bones]

Not that lunchbox.

[Eddie]

No chance. That is the most disgusting thing in the world.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, oh, oh, oh, Amy, did you share?

[Amy]

No. No. I'm Googling it now to watch. And I'm like, okay, this is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Does anybody want to admit that they share that? They will if they have to share a toothbrush with their wife. Significant other. Anything. Have before anybody. Nobody here does.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, so I don't think it's a big deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Scuba has raised his hand. He timidly comes up to the microphone. I feel like. I feel like everyone in here that no one's at least once ever tried it or done it or had to.

[Lunchbox]

Do it or at a hotel.

[Bobby Bones]

And you have one toothbrush finger. Yeah, I'll do my fingernail. It doesn't really work. You need a toothbrush.

[Lunchbox]

I make out my wife. I kiss her. I've done other things with her. Why not use her toothbrush?

[Bobby Bones]

Who cares, man? That seems so intimate. Like, is that tooth? Those bristles are going deep in between.

[Amy]

I mean, I guess if you rinse it off.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You can use, like, hot water to clean it off.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure there are more disgusting things that we're doing. We didn't even know. Right? Like eating stuff out of the sink or. I don't even know. I'm sure they're bacteria speaking. More gross things than that. But that feels disgusting. Like, that's the plaque inside someone's mouth that you're sharing an instrument with. So I would use a fingernail. I would let my wife use the toothbrush, and then I would use my finger and my fingernail with toothpaste and scratch my teeth before I would share, too.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I don't mind cleaning the plaque off her teeth with my tongue, but I'm not gonna go in there with a toothbrush. Same toothbrush. Get out.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what about you guys? You guys probably don't use loofahs, do you?

[Lunchbox]

No, we don't use loofahs, man. You don't use a loofah, do you?

[Bobby Bones]

Of course I do.

[Amy]

But you don't share a loofah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think she knows we share a loofah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Amy]

What? You're using her loofah without her knowing it's there. It's disgusting.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, good. That's the question.

[Amy]

No, you need to tell her, right? No, no, no. You need to never tell her. And you need to go get your own and never do that again.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think about it to get my own. And it's just hanging there.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you're so.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what's gross. That doesn't feel gross to me.

[Amy]

But it's on the loofah.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's touching the body. It's not in the mouth.

[Amy]

Yeah, but she doesn't want to rub your dead skin on her.

[Bobby Bones]

But I rinse the loofah when I'm done.

[Amy]

It's still harboring your bacteria like a washcloth.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you guys share that with your wife before it's been washed again?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think we do share a.

[Bobby Bones]

Wash before it's been washed again.

[Amy]

Like, if it's left on your body.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, and I think our washcloth's there for, like, weeks.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if it's one person, but because it's just wet, you just leave it to the wet in there. Go ahead.

[Amy]

This is making me gag more than the toothbrush. Yes. Like, that's why I don't think you should ever tell her. And good thing she doesn't listen to the show.

[Bobby Bones]

You think. You think she'll. If I say, hey, I've been using your loofah.

[Amy]

No doubt in my mind. She.

[Bobby Bones]

She might skin.

[Amy]

She might throw up right in front of you.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. I. I don't tell her. So obviously thought it was a poss. With a possibility.

[Amy]

Like, where do you rub the loofah?

[Bobby Bones]

My stomach, chest, and back.

[Amy]

That's it. Not up your legs.

[Bobby Bones]

Front of quads. Back. Quads.

[Eddie]

You don't.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know, other areas.

[Amy]

In your groin area.

[Bobby Bones]

No, because that. You scratch that. That's sensitive. What? Oh, you would not. I don't take a washcloth to it. Anything. You just take a wash off. Just grind on ourselves.

[Amy]

Oh, you don't do that. Any particular parts? I just mean, like, in the.

[Bobby Bones]

I use it on chest and stomach and back and then quads and hamstrings still.

[Lunchbox]

So. Personal question. How do you wash the other stuff?

[Bobby Bones]

Water.

[Lunchbox]

Just water.

[Bobby Bones]

Water. Soap and water and hands. Okay. Yeah. All right. I'm not taking a scratchy and putting it near My. My sensitive spots. And that's a scratchy.

[Lunchbox]

We learned so much today.

[Amy]

You mean is a loofah called a scratchy?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's what I would call it because it's great.

[Amy]

Do you.

[Bobby Bones]

You scratch? Yeah. What's it called?

[Amy]

Aloofa.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. When you pull the skin off.

[Amy]

Exfoliate.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. It's a. It's a scratchy, as I call it. So I used that on those parts. I didn't know that was gross, but I thought there is a possibility of it being gross, which is why I've never told her, obviously.

[Lunchbox]

And you won't. Right?

[Amy]

Well, now I just want you to tell her to see what reaction is gonna be.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I will, but I'm not gonna tell her like, I'm admitting to something. I'm gonna say, hey, we need to get a new loofah.

[Amy]

Or, like, already already have purchased the new loofah. And then have it and be like, hey, I got us some new loofahs. Because I. I have been using yours.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think there needs to be an admission like, I did something wrong. I just need to go, hey, the loofah, it's a little worn down. We need to get a new one. And then see if she responds to that in a way of. What do you mean? Because I don't want to present it like I did anything wrong, because I didn't. I'm still living my life. But toothbrush is disgusting. Loofah a plus. I'll give you guys an update in the next couple days on this one, all right? 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. Hey, it's Bobby Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

The top celebrities impersonated by romance scammers. If they are these celebrities, they're able to steal more from people. Number seven, Luke Grimes. Familiar?

[Amy]

Is he a bachelor?

[Bobby Bones]

Yellowstone Casey, I believe.

[Amy]

Oh, that's yes. Who's yes? Okay. Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. He makes the top seven.

[Lunchbox]

Good for him.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not good for him.

[Amy]

He's a good looking, though.

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm saying he's good looking enough to make the list. He scams me. Well, his image scams people.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think it's a mixture probably of looks and how warm their character is on television. Like a likability. Yeah. Number six, Tom Selleck.

[Amy]

Oh, Miami Vice.

[Bobby Bones]

Like old school. Magnum P.I.

[Amy]

That'S what I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

He's had those, those other shows.

[Amy]

Yeah, like Blue Blood.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it, Blue Bloods. But in there he plays like an old captain. He's not like young, cool detective guy. But yeah, it's old people getting scammed for the most part. So why would somebody old not scam them?

[Amy]

Yeah, he's lovable.

[Bobby Bones]

Tom Selleck at six. Number five, shout out to our buddy, Kane Brown. Wow. Nice guy. Very nice guy. Doesn't say a lot. So maybe it's easy to kind of take his personality on because it's not like he's actually saying a lot on social media. So you. I don't know. Kane. Kane is the only country artist. That one surprises me a bit because all the rest are like super big Hollywood stars that play big characters so people can identify with their characters. McCain's a really nice guy. I was surprised to see him up there. Maybe just so good looking. Number four, Ryan Reynolds. Number three, Sandra Bullock. That is the only woman on there. Number two, Jason Momoa. And number one, Keanu Reeves. The top celebrity impersonated by romance scammers.

[Lunchbox]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you think there's only one woman on there, Amy?

[Amy]

Because sadly, women are more vulnerable.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that.

[Amy]

I think. Yeah, I would think that's what's happening, but I don't know. Men are pretty stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. In different ways. We just want boob pictures.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Where you guys are like looking for long term selling.

[Amy]

Sandra Bullock wants to date me and women are like, oh, Keanu Reeves needs my help.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll give you money. Luke Grimes. I love Yellowstone. This financial tech company for Americans 62 and older did this. And you're right, it is older people. And they came out with that list of celebrities. Now what if Jason Momoa is trying to find love though, online and you know, he found someone online and they see this report. Maybe it holds him back a little bit.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You think he's hot?

[Amy]

He's not my. I mean, is he very good looking? Yes. Is he my type? I don't know that I have a type. Listen, if he asked me, I'll probably go.

[Bobby Bones]

But he. Do you like humongous muscles?

[Amy]

Right? That's the thing. Like, I don't. I don't know because I've not ever dated anybody with humongous muscles. But visually, it's not like I'm like, oh, big muscles. Like my. I have a friend that is all about big muscles and she won't date anybody if they don't have muscles at all. And I'm not like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan likes muscles.

[Amy]

I do like muscles. Yeah, but like that because he's next level.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't know that that is available all the time. But when I think of Morgan's type, I think of like, kind of meaty guys.

[Amy]

Yeah, I do like guys that have muscles, man. Our muscles just get me.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, just the arm muscles.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, all of it. All of it. Huge arms, tiny chest. That's what she's looking for.

[Amy]

It'd be cool if they don't have also chicken legs. That'd be nice.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of guys that have big chest, though, if they only do arm day, they don't do leg day.

[Amy]

See, you know, then I like the whole muscle thing. All of it.

[Bobby Bones]

I. Scam alert, scam alert, lunchbox man.

[Eddie]

I got a call from Walmart, dude, and that someone was hacking into my Walmart account. But it's a scam.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys, do you have a Walmart account?

[Eddie]

I do have a Walmart account. And so it freaked me out a little bit. And I'm like, wait a minute, why is someone getting into my Walmart account? I'm like, but would Walmart call me right away? Like, if someone's trying to buy a PlayStation on my Walmart account? So I didn't Fall for it. But man, it sounds good because he's American, you know, like, usually you have an accent. This dude sounded American. He's like, hey, I'm from Walmart and someone's trying to buy a PlayStation on your account.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you talking to him or was it a recording?

[Eddie]

Well, I thought. And I was like, no, no, it's not me, not me. And then it's like, press four.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I got you.

[Eddie]

And so, and then, then what's funny is if you keep listening, it repeats it again, like, so it's just a recording. And it says it like three times. I'm like, all right, bye.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we have it? Yeah, hit it. Hey, this is David from Walmart. A pre authorized purchase of PlayStation 5 with special edition and Pulse 3D headset is being ordered from your Walmart account for an amount of 919.45. To cancel your order or. Or to connect with one of our customer support representatives, please press one question. You thought that was a real person for a second. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You did think that was a real person? Yeah, I thought it was calling from the call center. And then like if you, if he. Right after that he goes, hi, this is Dave from Walmart.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, this is David from Walmart. So it's a numbers game. They're putting this out there. It's not that they knew you had a Walmart account. You just happen to have a Walmart account and they got the person on the line.

[Eddie]

So that's how they get you is they. They call enough people and if you have a Walmart account, you're like, wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's why the Amazon ones are so successful, the Netflix ones are so successful, because they know a large percentage of people have those accounts and immediately they're gonna go, oh, no, we don't want that to happen. Push the button. Because as soon as you push the button, you're then going to be put on with somebody who is then going to go, oh, yeah, we need your information to make sure. Give us this number so we can. And then you give them the number, then they have you.

[Eddie]

But I mean, he sounds legit.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's the lesson here?

[Eddie]

I don't know. Because what. Sometimes they do call you if they're.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't. I don't. I've never been called by the company someone's bought it from. I guess the credit card company, if it's a massive purchase or if I'm in another state.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, I get notifications from.

[Bobby Bones]

That feels like a manager At Walmart.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But then I know that's legit, because it really is.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do we learn from this? We have to put half a takeaway here.

[Amy]

Don't fall for people that call you.

[Bobby Bones]

Just don't answer the phone if you don't remember. Yeah, okay. And then that's a scam. That's happening right now. Okay. Scam alert. Scam alert. Thank you. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

J. Mac Slaughter. He's a family man. He's got a wife and three kids, and they decided to go have breakfast one morning. They eat, and he asked for the bill, and the server comes up and says, sir, you know what? Somebody took care of your bill. Somebody here in the restaurant, but they left you this note. He's like, really? He looks at the note, he says, okay. He reads it. It says, from a dad to another dad. Thank you for being the dad they need you to be. Regardless of who's watching, we need more men like you, and thank you for letting us see your love for all of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Lunchbox]

So it's pretty cool. I guess somebody eating there was a dad, noticed how well he was treating his kids and how present he was. I don't know, but they paid. He paid for the breakfast.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at the note. It's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 and a half handwritten lines. I haven't written that much in, I don't know, five years. If you got this note, what would you think?

[Lunchbox]

I'd look around, be like, who is looking at me?

[Bobby Bones]

You would think, is Lunchbox up to something, right? Pranking me. But they paid for the meal. That's cool.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's like an $80 bill. But, you know, it's. It is a little weird that somebody was watching you, but at the same time, hey, you know what I am? I am a good dad.

[Bobby Bones]

It's probably somebody else who's a dad or was a dad and, like, you know, son has died or daughter has moved off to college or is having like a, you know, a dad moment, a grandpa moment.

[Lunchbox]

I picture him just eating his eggs, staring at him.

[Bobby Bones]

Great story. That's one of those little moments this guy will remember forever. Lunchbox. You want to make the news?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I would like someone to buy me.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, send. No, that's the point. All this person did to make the news was send a note to someone going, you're a great dad. I'll pay for your lunch.

[Eddie]

Okay. I'll look for somebody, I'm start looking out, I'm going to say, hey, you're doing. Oh, what if I say you're doing a terrible job?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, try that. Let's know how that goes. All right. There you go. That's what it's all about.

[Eddie]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. And that is the end of the first half of the podcast.

[Lunchbox]

That is the end of the first.

[Bobby Bones]

Half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. You can go to podcast two, or you can wait till podcast to come out.
