Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show morning studio. Morning. Got this voicemail from Andrew in upstate New York. Can we bring back employee of the.
Lunchbox
Month or employee of the quarter or.
Bobby Bones
However you want to do it? We sure can. We'll do it right now. It's time for employee of the quarter. So the last three months, I've had my eyes peeled for one super performing employee who will be rewarded once they win this award. In this segment, you can spin the wheel of cash. On that wheel. There's a lot of opportunity, a lot of money. You can do self promotion if you win. A little change to this rule. If you do choose self promotion, I won't make you do it right away. You can do it later on in the show so you have a minute to think about it. Okay. So you can do 30 seconds of self promotion or you can block someone from contention next quarter if you win. It's the complete spite prize. So why don't we talk about this for a second? Amy, how do you feel about yourself?
Amy Brown
I feel fine. I feel like I had a good quarter. Some things that I recall happen. I'm like, oh, that was pretty good. That's pretty good. And that happened because.
Abby
Cuz.
Amy Brown
Cuz of me.
Bobby Bones
Some of your standout moments include bringing the email that led to us confronting a scammer.
Eddie
Oh, that was good.
Bobby Bones
Which is fun.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
She became the easy trivia champion, which was great. She brought us co parenting stories with her ex husband, made us release things for the blood moon, and shared our psychic ability with us.
Amy Brown
Oh, yeah, it was psychic.
Bobby Bones
So you're. You're still in the mix.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Bobby Bones
For employee of the quarter. Good job. Abby, how do you feel about yours?
Amy Brown
I feel good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah?
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Abby's been a key player to behind the scenes. She's been contributing more. Now she didn't get it this time. I wrote a whole thing. I don't want to spend a bunch.
Lunchbox
You may have been on air once.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Behind the scenes.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Morgan, how do you feel you've done?
Abby
I feel like it's been a trying three months for me, but I feel really good about it. I mean, I showed up here when I was dealing with vertigo for a month and a half, and that's been a crazy experience.
Eddie
That's true.
Lunchbox
Which seems real safe Once.
Amy Brown
Dedication.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You know what? Better luck next time, though. You did good. But better late next time. Okay. That's okay. High five. Morgan, Amy's still in. But you did good. Okay. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Yeah. What's up, dude?
Bobby Bones
Over the last quarter.
Lunchbox
Oh, we know it. Nailed it, brought it, dominated it.
Bobby Bones
Do you remember anything specifically avenues?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, I got a lot of stuff that I brought to the table. I brought one minute rant.
Bobby Bones
You know, you didn't bring that. I'm the one that brought that. You may have done one, but I. That, yeah.
Lunchbox
Baller, a buffoon. I mean, is now a staple.
Eddie
And also we all play that one. But.
Bobby Bones
But we did it twice. Ever. I can just read you what I have. So you're not making up women.
Lunchbox
Women are crazy.
Bobby Bones
I do have that.
Lunchbox
That is. I mean, that is the most segment.
Bobby Bones
That's you. He lived out his lifelong dream of being on the news.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Got us. He got this show national attention even.
Bobby Bones
Though I didn't really share him. That wasn't national, it was local news. But even though it didn't really show him as much as he thought it would, it still was good. He took initiative and he app for the in game host at the MLS team here in town, which I think we're going to find out later today if he got or not. He debuted the new segment Women are crazy. He thought that. Well, you made it to the next round.
Lunchbox
Ah, that's what I figured.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like the whole dish. I almost put in like the dirty dishes thing. Oh yeah.
Lunchbox
I didn't get busted.
Eddie
Remind me what happened?
Bobby Bones
Got busted. Bringing his dirty dishes to work. Like that was a bit. But he didn't do that for the show. He just got caught bringing his dirty.
Amy Brown
Dishes to work and putting them in the.
Bobby Bones
Which brings the question, should you get credit for a good bit if you really never planned on it?
Amy Brown
Well, I think so. Because you're. Without. You wouldn't have existed.
Bobby Bones
Okay, sorry.
Lunchbox
Point Amy.
Bobby Bones
So lunchbox. You're still in. Amy and Lunchbox. We'll go one more. Okay. Eddie still managed to do his job with a broken arm.
Eddie
Come on.
Amy Brown
I mean, did we call it broken?
Eddie
I mean, it is. It was broken.
Bobby Bones
He put his money where his mouth was and beat Morgan in the Wayfair building competition.
Lunchbox
True. That bit was like six months.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
He tallied up the LOL moments on the show. He had. According to our data keepers there. The best lines have made listeners laugh out loud.
Eddie
That's legit.
Bobby Bones
Don't worry about that.
Eddie
Don't worry about it.
Bobby Bones
He also gets the award for the Last Laugh award, which is given out to the person who gets the final joke in a segment, allowing us to hit the little piece of imaging.
Eddie
What does that mean?
Bobby Bones
Like, if you're like, say something. I go, haha.
Eddie
Oh, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
I got the last. I didn't. I didn't do this. I just told this. This is a voting panel of three people. Cool.
Lunchbox
That. He wrote that.
Eddie
I did not write that.
Bobby Bones
He did not write that. He was part of the 8th annual Million Dollar show that raised over $221,000.
Eddie
For St. Jude for charity for the kids.
Bobby Bones
How many? You're in. Okay. It's you. Three. Come on, baby.
Amy Brown
This is my worst nightmare.
Bobby Bones
What is? What?
Amy Brown
This whole competition type thing with them and then it's us, and then we're against each other. We should just be.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because she doesn't care. Amy's out. What? Oh, I need eye the tiger. I need eye of the tiger in this competition.
Amy Brown
Okay, well, I don't mind being neutral, but I do think it's weird that.
Bobby Bones
I'm out this quarter.
Lunchbox
All right, Canada.
Amy Brown
Well, how would I be out? This quarter?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. This quarter. No. And the winner.
Amy Brown
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
It's gonna be Lunchbox or Eddie.
Eddie
It's been a great year so far. It feels good. I had a birthday in March too, man.
Lunchbox
That doesn't matter.
Bobby Bones
But your dish.
Lunchbox
But his birthday matters.
Bobby Bones
But does it?
Lunchbox
His birthday?
Eddie
Sure, why not?
Lunchbox
But what does your birthday have to do with anything?
Eddie
Being a good employee? I have no idea.
Bobby Bones
This was a split decision. Wow.
Eddie
So we split it?
Bobby Bones
No. For the first time ever, it was 2:1 instead of 3:0. So 2:1 started from the bottom.
Lunchbox
Now I'm here.
Bobby Bones
The winner for employee of the quarter goes to. Come on. London, Paris and Madrid. Those are all places. But Eddie is the winner. Eddie is the winner. He is employee of the water. Yes. How?
Lunchbox
Because he had a broken arm.
Amy Brown
Yeah. I don't get it.
Eddie
I broke my arm and I continued to work hard.
Amy Brown
He. PEOPLE laugh.
Bobby Bones
He raised 220. $29000. He beat Morgan in the competition.
Eddie
Yes, I did.
Bobby Bones
He. It doesn't matter.
Abby
He cheated in the competition.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't. So if you want the wheel, man.
Lunchbox
I thought I got to do my speech and everything.
Eddie
You had a speech.
Bobby Bones
You can do your speech now. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you don't.
Bobby Bones
You didn't. You didn't win, but you can try it out.
Lunchbox
Yeah, my speech. Look, guys, I'm the employee of the month quarter. Whatever you want. Call It. And you thought I was going to come on here and talk about myself, but no. I want to give a shout out to the guy. We lost this quarter. James in Virginia, you are missed every single day. And I think about you every day when I see your $2 bills sitting on my counter. Let's hear from James.
Bobby Bones
Anyway.
Eddie
Hello, papa, family.
Lunchbox
You're awesome.
Bobby Bones
Bye.
Amy Brown
A.
Bobby Bones
You're pandering. Dude.
Lunchbox
Was that my plan speech?
Bobby Bones
Was that not it? I had to know your planned speech was pandering. Wow.
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
You were going for, like, the sad angle.
Lunchbox
No, no, I was not going.
Eddie
That was not you. Who wrote that speech for you?
Lunchbox
Me.
Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter. He lost.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are we doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a speech.
Bobby Bones
Do you not have a speech? I do. If you don't have a speech and you're lying, I may have to reverse.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
No, no.
Lunchbox
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Look at this. Ladies and gentlemen, there is a development situation. Oh, my goodness.
Eddie
I have a speech written now, but I like that. James for Virginia.
Bobby Bones
No, no. Can I see? Can I see?
Abby
Yeah, he does have it written up.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Because I was literally about to switch.
Eddie
It if he did, but it's gonna sound stupid now.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not. Go ahead.
Eddie
Because I didn't think I was gonna win.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God. Because he knows he didn't do cry.
Eddie
I said, guys, guys, this is too much. Thank you. Thank you, everyone. I know that I'm the most deserving member of the show to get this award every quarter, but really, we do need to start thinking of some of the other members of the show when it comes to this award. I mean, Amy made us laugh a lot this quarter. Her scamming the scam, one of her best. Love it. Morgan brought some really funny about her dating life. That's great. Lunchbox. Well, he showed up every day sick, got us all sick, but he showed up. So I will accept this award. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, everyone, including James from Virginia. Hit it anyway.
Lunchbox
No.
Eddie
Hello, family. We're gonna miss James.
Bobby Bones
Bye.
Eddie
We're gonna miss James.
Bobby Bones
Thank you very much. You want the will, I want the wheel, you know?
Eddie
You know, I want the wheel.
Bobby Bones
Okay. On the wheel, there's everything from spin again times three to 100 bucks. You ready to go?
Eddie
What if I hit the 103 times?
Bobby Bones
Well, if you get spin again times three, it only takes one time.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that would be 300 bucks, right?
Bobby Bones
Is it 3 spins or just times 3 times 3 of the amount. Got it. All right, here we go. Let's spin that wheel.
Eddie
Come on, come on, come on.
Bobby Bones
Oh, $50. Let's go. Hey, he wants $50. Employ the quarter. Sorry, the quarter. We'll do it again in three months. Thank God. Okay, thank you very much. Anything you want to say that, like, makes us laugh?
Eddie
Yeah, it's not funny.
Bobby Bones
There we go. All right, guys, it's the anonymous. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. Instead of buying a wedding band, I want to get a black ring tattooed around my finger. My best man, though, thinks it's a terrible idea for me. The benefits are I'll never lose it. It's cheaper. It looks cooler than a cheesy piece of jewelry. My best man is telling me not to do it with his main reasoning being, what if it doesn't work out? I tell them that I'm not getting married with the intention of getting divorced. So that's a non issue for me. So beyond that, is it really a downside of getting a tattoo on my ring finger in place of a wedding ring? Soon to be tatted up groom. Okay, first of all, your best man needs to, like, check himself. That's not his job to say it might not work. Not right now. That was three months ago. That was when he found out that you were going to propose. Any of that talk needed to happen before you're about to do this. So let's go in two parts here. Tell him, hey, thanks for the feedback, but no, thank you. I'm gonna get this. He had the opportunity to say that. Eddie had the opportunity to tell me, hey, maybe don't marry Caitlin. But he only had that opportunity to tell me right around proposal. Pre. Right after.
Eddie
Not before the wedding.
Bobby Bones
Not. No, you lost. So he's getting married. Not. And Eddie wasn't going to tell me that, but I'm saying there's a window now you're marrying her, wedding's happening. You're talking rings. We can just talk about the tattoo ring. Now I don't have it, but I think the idea is great because I have two rings. I have the rubber one that I wear that I never take off because I have another one. Because I was like, if my wife's going to be a baller, I'm going to be a baller. And I got one is like a ball of ring and has diamonds in it. I've lost, I think, like seven times. Luckily, it keeps coming back. But I don't like wearing a ring. I keep misplacing it. I think the tattoo is a great idea if both of you guys are cool with it. If she's not, I get it. But if you're both cool with it, I think it's a wonderful idea. Relationships are meant for the two people, and if part of the dynamic is, let's just get tattoos, great. If it makes you both happy, awesome. But this best man needs, like, know his role. He's your best friend, but he missed that opportunity to be the best friend to say, she probably ain't the one. The only way he says anything now is if he catches her cheating. That's it. Otherwise, you let him get married. And if you want a tattoo, get a tattoo. You can always remove it. If it doesn't work out, who cares?
Amy Brown
But we're not thinking that way.
Bobby Bones
Not. But I'm saying. But the counter to that is, no, man. You gotta have. You don't want to wreck your car, but you got to get car insurance or there are all these arguments. Is, okay, well, if that happens, I'll just get it removed. Tattoo removal is so much easier now than it used to be. This best man sucks. It made me mad. You had your window. Get your tattoo, man. I'm. I think it's awesome. I'm rooting for you. And I don't know, is that a sensitive part? Like, I'm pushing on mine?
Amy Brown
I think the fingers are sensitive, but I see a lot of people with it on their fingers, so it can't be that bad.
Bobby Bones
And if. Or instead of getting it taken off, you can always just tattoo it up even higher into a couple fingers and make it like an art thing, like middle finger up to the knuckle and ring finger. There are all these things you can do. So otherwise. But get married, get the tattoo. The best man. We'll have a talk about that later. All right. There you go. Thank you, Bones.
Morgan
Hey, Bobby. I am a teacher, and I've got a senior that I am just trying to help get over the finish line and graduate this year. It's my spring break, so this would kind of be the perfect opportunity to maybe play a game and win some shoes, potentially. I would love the opportunity. These shoes would be going towards my student who's just had a rough school year. But I'm proud of him, and I think he can finish strong, but hoping to use this as a little bit of graduation motivation.
Bobby Bones
All right, so we got the voicemail. We now have that caller on. Who's Melissa? Melissa, good morning.
Morgan
Good morning.
Bobby Bones
So we're going to give you a chance to win Some shoes here. Now, you know they're all size 11, right?
Morgan
Yes. Yeah, yeah. I teach juniors and seniors. This. This student in particular is a senior, so that I know that's his size.
Bobby Bones
All right, cool. Well, then let's play Never gonna get it. Here we go.
Eddie
No, you're not gonna get it.
Bobby Bones
So you'll have three chances to win. I'm gonna ask the question, guys. The question is, according to CarInsurance.com Only 56% of American drivers can say this. So I'm gonna ask the question again. Melissa, you get to take a shot at it first. If you get it right, you automatically win. If you don't, you have two other opportunities. But the question is, according to CarInsurance.com only 56 of American drivers can say this. What is it? So I'm gonna go ahead. Yeah, if you're ready, Melissa, go ahead. Sorry.
Morgan
I'm gonna say that they carry their insurance card like they have it in the car.
Bobby Bones
Solid. Guess my problem with my insurance card is I always have it, but it's always expired, meaning it goes in, then I forget about it to replace it until for some reason, I find out it's expired, and then I replace it with the new updated one, and then don't replace it again until it's expired. But that is not it. So one down. Okay, so you have Amy, lunchbox, Morgan, and Eddie. You get to pick two of them, and if either one of them get it right, who you pick, you win. Amy, how you feeling?
Amy Brown
I'm feeling okay.
Bobby Bones
Fresh haircut. Lunchbox feeling great, man. Haircut looks good, by the way.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Looks good. It doesn't look like too short. Sometimes you do too short, and you can tell you got a haircut that looks good. Solid haircut. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Shout out to the dude that cut it.
Bobby Bones
Morgan, how do you feel? Morgan doesn't feel great. Her mic's not on, but let's turn it on. Morgan, how do you feel?
Abby
I don't feel too great about this one.
Eddie
Honestly, eddie, I'm about 56.
Lunchbox
Wow. I'm a hundred.
Bobby Bones
What a coincidence, because according to CarInsurance.com only 56 of American drivers can say this.
Eddie
Look at that.
Bobby Bones
Who would you like? Melissa. Which two?
Morgan
I don't like the lack of confidence. I'm gonna go with Amy. I feel like she represents a good, average driver.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's it. Have you ever heard this show? Okay. And you get to pick one other person. Go ahead.
Morgan
I'm gonna go Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
There you go.
Bobby Bones
Okay, let's go to Morgan. First, then Morgan. According to CarInsurance.com only 56% of American drivers can say this. What is it?
Abby
That they've never run a red light?
Bobby Bones
Eddie, your answer?
Eddie
That they've never run a red light. I have the same answer.
Bobby Bones
Anybody else have that?
Lunchbox
No.
Amy Brown
No. Everybody's running.
Lunchbox
Everybody's running.
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't know that I have, because when it turns yellow, I close my eyes. You guys do that? That's good. You close your eyes because you don't know. You, bro, broke the law. You didn't break the law. Because if I'm gonna go through, I just shut them real quick.
Amy Brown
You're telling me. Also, if it's way late in the middle of the night and it's red and nobody's around, it's not turning green.
Bobby Bones
I don't go there.
Lunchbox
Oh, I go.
Bobby Bones
I go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth until it turns green because I feel like there's a cop somewhere waiting to watch me.
Abby
Oh, see, this is 50.
Amy Brown
Technically, I do it if my kids are in the car. I say, kids, don't ever do this.
Bobby Bones
I'll go, kids, close your eyes.
Eddie
Like I'm doing.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so that's wrong. So she's lucky. Amy, if you get it right, she wins. What do you have?
Amy Brown
I've never hit something.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox. What do you have?
Lunchbox
Never been in a wreck.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, both those are wrong. Oh, okay. So everybody's back in the game. She has one more shot here. According to CarInsurance.com only 56 of American drivers can say this. So come up with a new answer now, Melissa, it's 50. 50. You can say, yes, you think one of the four will get it, or no, you don't think any of the four will get it.
Morgan
I mean, it's never going to get it.
Bobby Bones
Yep. So.
Morgan
And I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna say nobody gets it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, write your answers down, guys. Right. While they think about it. Would you play me the theme song again? No, you're not gonna get it. Never. Never gonna get it. Not this time. No, you're not gonna get it. Never, never, never, never gonna get it.
Lunchbox
Okay, that might be too high.
Eddie
Okay, I got something.
Bobby Bones
If anybody gets it, she loses. Here she has a teacher just trying to make it because she picked. Nobody would get it.
Amy Brown
It.
Bobby Bones
Everybody good?
Amy Brown
Yep.
Eddie
Good.
Lunchbox
I'm good.
Amy Brown
They've never been ticketed for speeding.
Bobby Bones
Wrong.
Eddie
Eddie, they can't change a tire.
Bobby Bones
Wrong.
Abby
Morgan, they don't use their phones while driving.
Bobby Bones
Wrong. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
56% of drivers can drive a standard.
Amy Brown
Oh, that's it. Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
So hold on. Melissa, did you ruin it for her?
Amy Brown
That's it. Wait, how many people in here can drive a standard?
Bobby Bones
Me.
Abby
I can't.
Bobby Bones
I can.
Lunchbox
You can't.
Bobby Bones
You can't.
Amy Brown
This is looking like a 56%.
Bobby Bones
Should I give Melissa the chance to flip if she wants or no?
Eddie
Yeah, give her the chance.
Bobby Bones
Melissa, do you want to flip?
Morgan
No. There's no way that 56 of people currently driving. Think about all the teenagers that are driving now. There's no way that 56 know how to drive stick.
Bobby Bones
Well, you are wrong.
Lunchbox
Hey, let me tell you her reasoning for not flipping. When she said the teenagers, I didn't think about them. I thought about the older generation.
Bobby Bones
So well done, Melissa. Thank you for listening. And I love it that you won.
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
Thank you so, so much. I am so appreciative.
Bobby Bones
All right. Never gonna get it. And she didn't get it, but she did win. Here's. Here's the answer. Here's the answer. 56% of American drivers pass their driving test on the first try.
Amy Brown
That's it.
Eddie
I would have never gotten that.
Bobby Bones
According to CarInsurance.com 56% of American drivers can say they passed their driving test on the very first time. Women are slightly more likely to pass than men, by the way.
Lunchbox
That's shocking.
Bobby Bones
Yes. There we go. All right, there we go. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.
Eddie
Sophia is just 13 years old, and she has just been invited to join mensa after scoring 162 on her IQ test.
Bobby Bones
That's. That's exceptionally, exceptionally high.
Eddie
This is the highest possible score for her age, and it's higher than Albert Einstein's and Stephen Hawkins score.
Amy Brown
What?
Bobby Bones
So I'm gonna type in, what's the average IQ score? Because IQ is not how successful you'll be, but it's kind of like what your ceiling is.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Like, if you do all the work, you have the ability to be 162 smart. I know people that have pretty low IQs on the test that are really successful because they've done the work to learn. And just imagine if they had a higher iq, they would be even more successful.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But the average IQ score is between 90 and 109 is the top of the average.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And so she did a 160.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I feel like, though, if you're testing Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, like that's way back in the day at the.
Amy Brown
Same time, this test Was different.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
Like, he can't really compare.
Eddie
But it sounds so.
Bobby Bones
It's like comparing home run hitters, not a Babe Ruth. Like, different bats and balls and pitchers. But that's awesome that she's so young and scored at 160.
Eddie
They did say that she achieved this score with no preparation. She just went in and just took the test.
Bobby Bones
But that's what IQ is.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's not a study.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
IQ is.
Eddie
That's what it says.
Amy Brown
Well, you have to sort of study something.
Lunchbox
No, you don't study anything.
Bobby Bones
No, it. First of all, you're both yelling things.
Lunchbox
IQ people know that.
Bobby Bones
And no IQ person calls themselves an IQ people. Iq, again, is not so much about studying, but it can be from all the things you've learned and retained, and it can be how you can figure things out. It doesn't matter. She's 160. That's awesome. I'm jealous.
Eddie
It also says, too, that her grandfather is a respected Polish mathematician.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
So she's probably genetic.
Bobby Bones
Are there disrespected Polish mathematicians?
Amy Brown
Probably.
Bobby Bones
I wonder. That's a. She's how old? 13.
Eddie
She's 13. So she's gonna be so, like, successful.
Bobby Bones
I'm so jealous.
Amy Brown
I mean, you're. You have a high IQ, probably.
Eddie
What is yours?
Bobby Bones
159. She beat me by one point. I've been ticked off. Like, IQ is like reasoning.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So that's why you can't really study for it. It's like figuring things out. Like, you can. I mean, we can do a test again if we all want.
Eddie
I think mine's pretty high, but we're good.
Abby
We're good.
Amy Brown
Hey, you should take it again, though. I bet you could be her.
Bobby Bones
I can't beat a 160. I think that's pretty much perfect for her age and.
Amy Brown
Yeah, you said you were 159.
Eddie
He was joking.
Amy Brown
I know. I'm continuing.
Bobby Bones
Oh, hey, you person. Pushing a joke. That was dead. Okay, good. Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. I want to go talk to Jennifer, who's on the phone right now in Texas. Hey, Jennifer, you're on the air. I was calling to see if there was an update from Lunchbox after he got help from his wife with the resume and applied for that other job. Yes. The answer is yes. Now, I don't know how truthful this is, and these guys. Can I just be honest with me? I think Lunchbox got an email. Correct.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Bobby Bones
Telling him if he got or didn't get the job. Now I also think that Lunchbox doesn't know and he saved it as a reveal on the air. Did you look at the email?
Lunchbox
Nope. Just forwarded to scuba.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
Nlr.
Lunchbox
Nlr.
Bobby Bones
I absolutely believe him. You guys, you guys should know, although you do not know what those three letters means that for 15 years lunchbox and I use that sparingly. I can tell you he does not know what's on this email. The next segment then I will read the email.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
It's a job he applied for. It's not a new job where he's leaving the show, but it's a job at the mls, the Major League Soccer. Being like the hype guy. He's tried for other jobs like the NFL football team announcer didn't get down the hockey one.
Amy Brown
Press hockey.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Another guy from the building got it.
Amy Brown
That hurts.
Bobby Bones
We will, we'll do that then next.
Amy Brown
But soccer, soccer could be all you.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Jennifer, thank you for that call. Yes and yes, of course. I think he'd be awesome for that. I do too. I am super encouraging. So let's, let's see if he got it. We'll do that segment coming up.

At this point in my life I'm all about streamlining the operation. Between work, kids, appointments, random last minute school projects. I don't have time to run out for every little thing that we need. So when I realized that with Walmart subscriptions I could skip the hassle and have the essentials delivered straight to my door. Total game changer. I'm talking groceries, kids stuff, snacks, vitamin skincare, shampoo, sunscreen. Literally everything that we go through on repeat. And right now, with spring in the air and that fresh new season energy, Walmart's got some serious deals happening. It's the perfect time to refresh your routine and your cart. The other day I scheduled a delivery with some new sun care products that I've been wanting to try, a couple pantry staples that we were running low on and yeah, a little treat for myself and also a little treat for my daughter, a new fragrance that she has been eyeing. And I love that Walmart has the things that we need and the things that we want. And the best part? With Walmart subscriptions, you can set your schedule, choose when things arrive, and if something unexpected comes up. Because let's be real, something always comes up. You can go in and easily edit the delivery date. No stress. They've got all the big name brands that we love too, but at prices that make it easy to stock up without feeling guilty. So whether I'm browsing in store or shopping online or using the app, Walmart just makes it easy. And that's what I need right now. Less stress, more simplicity, and the ability to stay stocked on all the things that my family actually uses. So if you're looking to stay ahead of the chaos and still enjoy all the good things this season has to offer, Walmart's got your back. Find trending spring beauty at Walmart in stores, online and in the app.

Okay, we're about to reveal if Lunchbox got this job he applied for. Now Jennifer from Texas called us and she wanted the update. And Jennifer, what do you remember about this segment? Do you remember the job he applied for? Well, I knew it was like a hype man job. I remember that. And I couldn't remember what sport it was for. I thought it was baseball, to be honest, but I couldn't remember. Yeah, you know he's a big soccer guy. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Season taking holder.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Lunchbox
And big deal.
Bobby Bones
And I remember that he was like.
Amy Brown
I don't have a resume.
Bobby Bones
My wife helped me, you know, this and that. All true. We read the resume, thought it was pretty good except for the lies in it. Other than that, we thought it was good. I encouraged him to do things like follow up immediately, do extra stuff, you know, be that squeaky. Will, would you have agreed with the advice I gave him? Jennifer? Oh, yeah, absolutely, 100%. That's what I do for jobs. So I have. You want it. Yeah. And I have the email here that is either he got the job or didn't get the job. Now Lunchbox has promised NLR that he does not know he took the email. How did you know to forward it without?
Lunchbox
Because they said they would let me know on the day. And so I got the email and I was like, well, that has to be the answer.
Bobby Bones
So the subject didn't give it away? Nope. Because I don't even like if I'm watching a series of six to eight episodes. Looking at the titles of the later episodes, I'm like, no, no, no. I don't want to see the pictures and those thumbnails or anything.
Lunchbox
They do that on Survivor. They name it something. So when someone says that during the episode, I'm like, well, I know they're doing good.
Bobby Bones
This episode they're still in.
Lunchbox
Yes. It's like, like, man, you ruined it.
Bobby Bones
Well, let's go around the room. Do we think Lunchbox got this job he applied for with the major League soccer team here in town to be the hype guy, the on camera guy, the microphone guy during the game? Jennifer, since you called us, do you think Lunchbox got the job? I do. Amy.
Amy Brown
Yes, he got it.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Eddie
I think the resume was so good he got it even though he lied in it.
Bobby Bones
Man, this is like if you watch college game day and everybody picks the same team, then they lose. It's usually. That's kind of a bad sign.
Amy Brown
We're trying to just believe in him.
Eddie
What do you think?
Bobby Bones
I think if he didn't get it, it's only because they had somebody else in mind already and had to open the job. I think he's perfect for it, but I'm gonna go with yes as well.
Eddie
Oh, no, we all got yes.
Bobby Bones
Morgan, listen, it's.
Abby
He may give me a hard time, but I got faith in this guy. I think he got the job.
Bobby Bones
He has not seen the email. I will now review. I mean, look, go ahead.
Lunchbox
I haven't thrown my name in the.
Bobby Bones
Hat for Titans announcer.
Lunchbox
We have that.
Bobby Bones
And then the hockey team.
Lunchbox
You know what I mean? And so I saw this, and I was like, this is me. Like, I go to the soccer games already, so why not get this job and have, like, work for a major league soccer team? Like, I would be, like, a professional soccer player. Basically.
Amy Brown
Basically.
Bobby Bones
Basically. So I cannot see. I've not flipped it over yet, but I can see through it a little bit because I don't want to know. 1, 2, 3, 4. There's eight lines.
Amy Brown
I mean, if it was eight words.
Bobby Bones
It'S like, like eight lines. A line and a half paragraph, A line and a half paragraph, A line and a half paragraph. So that would probably be like three long sentences. It looks. I can't tell, but I. It's like a college admission letter. When I see on.
Amy Brown
I know.
Bobby Bones
Tick tock.
Amy Brown
I feel like, do we have like a. A Nashville mls like, hat to put on him when he gets it. Like.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man. If we. Oh, I should have brought my thought about this bit. Yeah. We done any preparation in a bit?
Amy Brown
Isn't that what they do?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's kind of like when you. When you pick a college. Oh, yeah, like our Jersey.
Amy Brown
We need something.
Bobby Bones
Okay, here we go. I will now flip over the email.
Eddie
Come on.
Bobby Bones
And we. Oh, no.
Eddie
Are you gonna read it first? You're gonna read it out loud. What are you gonna do?
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna read it.
Lunchbox
Is he smiling?
Eddie
He's not doing anything.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Amy Brown
What do you. Flip it over?
Bobby Bones
I read it.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Lunchbox
What are you doing?
Eddie
I read it. Hey, who is it from?
Bobby Bones
I read it.
Amy Brown
Vincent.
Bobby Bones
It's from Colleen. They don't even say their last name. I read it.
Amy Brown
Do you know Colleen Lunchbox?
Lunchbox
That's who I've been corresponding with. I've never met her.
Bobby Bones
Mike, come over. Look at this.
Lunchbox
What are we doing?
Bobby Bones
You can just give us just a generic standard.
Lunchbox
What do you mean, interesting? How interesting can it be? It's yes or no.
Amy Brown
Well, no, that's not true. It could be. We're down to the wire, we've got two people we love. You're one of them. And now we need a face off.
Bobby Bones
How much do you want this job, man?
Lunchbox
I want it. I think it'd be so fun.
Bobby Bones
Okay, without any further ado.
Eddie
Can I see it?
Bobby Bones
No, I want you to experience it. From Colleen to Lunchbox subject in stadium host.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Lunchbox, comma. First of all, I want to say thank you so much for your submission and interest.
Amy Brown
That's never good.
Lunchbox
What do you mean?
Amy Brown
No, no, no.
Eddie
That's how they started.
Amy Brown
First of all, I want to thank you. Second of all, I mean, second of.
Lunchbox
All, we want to welcome you to the team.
Eddie
No, man.
Lunchbox
No.
Abby
There's a but coming.
Bobby Bones
Okay, hold on. There is no but in this entire email. See? Oh.
Amy Brown
So thank you. So it's an.
Bobby Bones
And let's see. First of all, I want to thank you for your submission and interest for the in stadium host opportunity at Nashville Soccer Club. Boo.
Eddie
Oh, I got it. However.
Bobby Bones
No, see, we really do appreciate you taking the time to apply.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And after further conversations between the powers that be.
Lunchbox
That's right.
Bobby Bones
We have decided. Yes, let's go. To add you to our team to move forward with an internal applicant.
Amy Brown
No, internal's the worst. It's always internal.
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
We do appreciate you taking the time to apply, and we hope that we can work together on something. In the future, best Colleen, like maybe.
Abby
Hit him with a compliment sandwich.
Eddie
Hey, killing me is a great.
Bobby Bones
She did compliment sandwich. That's the only reason that I could see you not getting it was they had somebody in mind already and they just had to post a job.
Amy Brown
That's what you said. Said from the beginning, but just that, just. You should feel good about that because Internal is hard to beat.
Lunchbox
Hold on. So if they had someone in mind.
Bobby Bones
You have to post the job though?
Lunchbox
No, no, post the job. Fine. But then why have me do another round of things like sending videos?
Bobby Bones
Also a great question.
Eddie
Maybe that's what made them lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, maybe it was between you and somebody in and they saw your second video and they're like this dude. No, no chance. Let's go with the Internal Guy guy.
Lunchbox
I didn't want it anyway. Sorry.
Eddie
No, that's not true.
Bobby Bones
You're going be late at night.
Lunchbox
It's going to be late at night. I'm busy. You know what I mean?
Amy Brown
Well, hey, don't say that because what if something happens to Internal Guy?
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm not, I'm not second fiddle.
Bobby Bones
What if Internal Guy, I've been second fiddle many times and it's turned into great things. So don't worry about that. Don't worry about that.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, maybe I won't be sloppy.
Bobby Bones
Seconds, but I don't call myself that. But I hear you. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh man.
Bobby Bones
Sorry, dude.
Lunchbox
That's embarrassing.
Bobby Bones
Sorry.
Amy Brown
You could be his. Could you be his understudy?
Bobby Bones
Be his assistant. Go and be his assistant. Like chase him around and like carry mic cables and stuff. Be next man up.
Amy Brown
Even like if something happens last minute.
Eddie
You'Re called to the stage, then you will be Internal.
Bobby Bones
You're that guy.
Amy Brown
Yeah, you're the understudy.
Lunchbox
Here's the bad part too. What I've been telling my kids.
Bobby Bones
You have to stop telling your kids stuff. You got to stop telling them they're going on a cruise. You got to stop telling them you're going to be the guy in the mic.
Lunchbox
No, because I was like, yeah. And they're like, oh, dad, does that mean we'll finally get to go on the field? And I'm like, oh, probably because, oh no. Cuz like all the players kids run on the field after the game. And I'm like, oh my God.
Amy Brown
Also, you're not a player.
Bobby Bones
Like even Jennifer.
Lunchbox
Oh man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Your thoughts? I think they made a mistake. Me too. But I, I think, you know, he should definitely keep trying for stuff. You know, like you should Be the hype guy. Like your local kids games.
Amy Brown
Yes.
Bobby Bones
And then send them videos you doing.
Eddie
That's true.
Bobby Bones
With like a bullhorn. I'm here now. And you bring, like, your own T shirts.
Amy Brown
You know what they say.
Bobby Bones
What do they say?
Amy Brown
Rejection is redirection. And Bobby has a plan for you. You need to go to your kids.
Eddie
Your kids games and do the halftime.
Bobby Bones
All right, well, thank you for letting us be a part of your process.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox that question, like, do I email.
Amy Brown
Her and be like, yes, absolutely.
Lunchbox
What would you get email? Like, say, hey, man, thanks for nothing.
Amy Brown
You want to keep your foot in the door?
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't email it right now, but.
Amy Brown
He should reply and be like, I thank you for the opportunity to do this. Like, what opportunity?
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't email right now. Don't email right now. Take a breath, take a beat. Next. Next day or so be like, hey, awesome. Totally get it. But if anything happens, love to be a part of the team someday. Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah, man.
Bobby Bones
All right, let's play this. Sorry, dude. Sorry, dude. Yeah, it's a tough one. I've been there a bunch of times. Are you embarrassed?
Lunchbox
Yeah, because I really. The only reason I sent you guys emails, like, there's no chance, like, I mean, they get the publicity of me that gets such a huge easy gift.
Bobby Bones
Huge, huge, huge.
Eddie
You and who knows who the internal guy is, though.
Lunchbox
But my wife kept telling me, I mean, of course they want you.
Amy Brown
Well, and we all thought they should want you.
Bobby Bones
Unless it was someone internal.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Thank you. A Tik Tok user shared a heartwarming story about an Uber driver. And I like that, cuz every time Morgan talks about an Uber driver, it's creepy story. So we like to have some wholesome Uber drivers because I know they're out there in this story. This Uber driver, like, jumped in and acted like her dad because he didn't want somebody to screw over. Like on a price of a car quote. Like, listen to this clip. Okay. Okay. Oh, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
Lunchbox
Don't worry about it.
Bobby Bones
We keep an eye on if we do it next time. Okay. When you do the oil change. Yes, yes. Pay for the oil change and let's go. Okay. Come on. Follow me, follow me. Okay. Thanks, dad. Don't worry about it. So he knew she was getting screwed over. So it's like, I'm her dad. Tell me.
Amy Brown
That's awesome.
Eddie
This is like an oil change place.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's a mechanic shop.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So you know those guys are gonna try to get you for. They can get you For. So the Uber driver was taking her, like, to her car that had had some work on it because she didn't have her car. And then the Uber driver stepped in to be like, no, no, no, this is not right. And they were like, oh, good point. So I thought, that's pretty good.
Eddie
Good for her for going with it. That I'd have been like, what are you doing, Uber driver? Get away from me.
Bobby Bones
So, Morgan, do you have any Uber stories?
Abby
Yeah, I do have one.
Bobby Bones
Is it a wholesome one?
Abby
I don't think it's wholesome.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no. Okay, go ahead.
Abby
So I was in an Uber. I was not by myself this time. I was with some girlfriends and this Uber driver had a sermon playing the whole time. Now, you'd think a sermon, Wholesome, cool, whatever. No, no, no. This sermon was about how if you go out and drink, which we were going to go do, you're this horrible human being and you're a terrible woman. And it proceeded to go even further down that path of, like, women should not be doing anything independent of their man.
G
And it just.
Abby
When I tell you, like, for 20 minutes, we felt so incredibly uncomfortable. We didn't know what to do because clearly this man feels a certain way about women, especially women who like to go out and have fun with their friends. By the time we got out of the car, all of us looked at each other and we're like, do we need to, like, go to church? What's wrong with us?
Bobby Bones
The sermon he was playing was anti.
Abby
Drinking, anti drinking, anti women doing anything outside of their man, anti women being women and just anti women.
Bobby Bones
I'm surprised that he is able to continue doing that because people don't give him bad reviews after they get out.
Amy Brown
Right. Because if, like, this is his thing, like, he loves picking up women that are going out and he's like, can't wait to play.
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't think he has to pick with the women he picks up. No.
Amy Brown
But when women get in, he's like, sweet. I get to turn on my sermon.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Like, I'm really going to show them here and try to change their bad. I'm surprised that he doesn't get bad reviews from the women that keep him from being able to be an Uber driver. Did you give him a bad review?
Abby
I did. I gave him two stars. I couldn't do one. I was too nice. But I did give him two. And on top of that, guys, he also, like, hot boxed the car. Like, it was so hot in there. I think he was, like, putting the Heat on us on purpose. When I looked down, he turned it up. Sorry.
Eddie
That too.
Amy Brown
Well, he was the groundwork of, like, if you don't listen to this, you're going to hell.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he's making it hell in the car. I didn't go that many steps ahead.
Abby
No, it was 70 degrees outside. It's beautiful day. We get in this car, it is on 80, and he turned it up. As we are in the vehicle, like, we are sweating.
Bobby Bones
Did you get to the bar and go, maybe we shouldn't drink so much because of the sermon we heard?
Abby
No, I think we did the exact opposite. We're like, we're gonna go rage tonight. Because that was inappropriate and it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Did you tip him?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Good, good.
Bobby Bones
But why not go one star if you're gonna go two?
Abby
I don't know. I. I just. One star is really hard for me. I don't know why. I. I try really hard not to be that mean. It's like, well, you have room for improvement, I guess you can be. Not a jerk about women.
Amy Brown
Do y'all ever get nervous, though? Like, they know where you live?
Bobby Bones
Well, it doesn't really stay in their phone.
Lunchbox
Here we go.
Bobby Bones
You can click on what they see. So unless they're, like, remembering every place or writing it down, no, I don't. What's wrong with you, Amy? Scared of everybody, retaliating for every single thing. It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
Joseph Williams is a firefighter with the Lewistown, Pennsylvania, Fire Department. What? 25 years old. He wasn't feeling well, goes to the doctor, and they said, hey, man, you got kidney disease? He's like, oh, no. And he had to go on dialysis, needed a donor. So he reached out to his buddies in the fire department. They all went, got tested, and a dude at his firehouse was a match. They'd only known each other a year. He said, I'll donate my kidney to my fellow firefighter.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Eddie, you like this?
Bobby Bones
I love that story.
Lunchbox
So on March 20, they went in at 6:15am Did a little cutting, one kidney from him, and boom, Joseph got his kidney.
Bobby Bones
Little cutting, a little placing.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Easy as that.
Lunchbox
And now Tyler and Joseph are both recovering, and they're firefighters for life.
Bobby Bones
That's an awesome story. Where do we stand on Eddie saying he wants to give a kidney because he came in and said he was too old? And didn't someone call and say, that's not true?
Eddie
No, that was plasma.
Lunchbox
That was plasma kidney. He's okay.
Eddie
Or not. Plasma. My bone marrow. I was too old to donate my bone marrow. Kidney. I can still do it.
Bobby Bones
Got it. He's making sure.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he's still on the table.
Eddie
Okay, so if you guys ever need one, I'm here for you.
Amy Brown
He's not on the operating table, that's for sure.
Lunchbox
But he.
Bobby Bones
He said he just wants to do it for anybody randomly, but then he backs away every time, right? Yeah. Yeah. So now you're just saying only if it's one of us.
Eddie
I mean, it was one of you guys.
Bobby Bones
No doubt. I know, but you've always said you can't wait to do it for somebody randomly.
Eddie
I said that'd be really cool to donate a kidney.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, great story. What were the names again?
Lunchbox
Tyler Smith is the one that donated the kidney, and Joseph Williams is the one that got the kidney. And that's what I mean. You know, you think about a firehood, firefighters is a brotherhood. I mean, that proves it.
Bobby Bones
You can make the news, though. You want to be on the news for what? Yeah, donate the kidney.
Lunchbox
I don't know. Kidney's a big deal, man.
Bobby Bones
Being on local news, according to you.
Lunchbox
I'd rather tip $50 at the restaurant.
Bobby Bones
That ain't getting you on there, buddy. All right, great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Now time for the morning corny. The morning Corny.
Amy Brown
How do you get a chicken to read your blog?
Bobby Bones
How do you get a chicken to read your blog?
Amy Brown
Cluck blate. No, cluck bait.
Bobby Bones
Cluck bait. Not click.
Amy Brown
Yeah, that's hard to say.
Bobby Bones
That was the morning corny.
Amy Brown
At this point in my life, I'm all about streamlining the operation. Between work, kids, appointments, random last minute school projects, I don't have time to run out for every little thing that we need. So when I realized that with Walmart subscriptions, I could skip the hassle and have the essentials delivered straight to my door, Total game changer.

The other day, I scheduled a delivery with some new sun care products that I've been wanting to try. A couple pantry staples that we were running low on.

You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning his wigs. Next bit and Poppy's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Vaughn. There's a clip going around the Internet. Brooks and Dunn are playing and Ronnie Dunn, who's the lead Singer during the encore just kind of stops singing and then kind of taps his chest and walks off in the middle of boot scooting boogie. Now I'm gonna play the audio and it's just from someone's phone. So you're gonna hear and he's singing and then all of a sudden he just kind of goes away in the background, keeps singing. So people were concerned. They're like, what happened? So I text them and just asked, okay, yeah.
Amy Brown
My friend had texted me, does Bobby know what happened?
Bobby Bones
So he's fine. He says he let himself get dehydrated after he was already sick. So he said he got a bunch of fluids the next day. He said, moral of the story, drink water.
Amy Brown
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So one, he wasn't angry. That was the first rumor going around. Brooks and Dunn stormed off stage. And then two, it was, he got so sick. Is he okay now? And so official breaking news, breaking news. He's okay.
Amy Brown
Dehydration.
Bobby Bones
And he says, drink water.
Amy Brown
I feel like that was like every star or like pop starish, like every 20 year old, like Lindsay Lohan back in the day. Remember when they would have these episodes, they would always blame it on dehydration.
Bobby Bones
And exhaustion, but that really wasn't dehydration. I want everybody to know this is dehydration.
Amy Brown
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like Ronnie's 71. He can still go hard, but that's dehydration. I have another one. This is a woman who works in hr. She's going viral because she's listing all the things that she's had to fire people for. And so here are some of the weirdest. Here's clip one. Go ahead.
G
First, guy was napping in his car from 10am Till almost one every single day. He had been doing this for like four months straight. He was a new hire. And I don't know why he thought it was okay to do it, but I ended up firing him. Had a guy who worked in food services who was like smearing his poop on the walls of the bathroom. And then we weren't sure if he was washing his hands or not, but he was working in food services. So Nick sat real quick. But he got fired because he wouldn't stop. Fired a lady for threatening her co worker that she was going to shoot her. And she actually brought in a BB gun when she did this and did shoot it, just not at the co.
Bobby Bones
Worker, the poop thing. They had to fire him because he wouldn't stop. How about because he did it once.
Eddie
And don't Worry about washing the hands.
Amy Brown
Who cares?
Bobby Bones
Her name is Sunny Lena K. Here's one more clip.
G
An employee had just gotten a verbal warning. So not even like a written anything, just a verbal warning about stealing company supplies because he was literally loading cases of toilet paper into his. His vehicle. This was like 2012, I guess. He got really upset about the verbal warning, even though it wasn't a write up. And he ended up walking out of his office, went straight into. We had this big glass meeting room in the middle of the office where all the execs were meeting. Turn around, literally dropped his pants and stuck his butt against the window.
Bobby Bones
Oh, not the guy either. So a lot of butts. Butt stuff.
Lunchbox
Where does she work?
Amy Brown
Yeah. Like I was thinking, probably not a place with a big glass room and executive gifts, but I guess so.
Bobby Bones
Ever been fired? Not laid off? Fired?
Amy Brown
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay. You?
Eddie
No, not yet.
Bobby Bones
Getting fired is tough, especially nowadays because they really got a paper trail. You, Ray, you ever got fired? Yeah, telemarketing. They said that I was rude to customers. I had more than three strikes against me. So because of that they had to terminate me. How would they fire you back then? Pull you in an office or just send you an email? I went in an office, it was like three execs with the company. They played some of my audio back and I go. And they said, do you think you were rude in that? And I said, yeah, I pretty bad on that. And they then played others. I listened like 10 of my calls and all of them, if it wasn't a sale, I really didn't care to talk to the person. I only wanted to upsell. Wait. They played your calls back? So we're recording this with quality assurance. They quality assured you? Yeah. All the calls were.
Amy Brown
Wait. Okay, Bobby, we need a reenactment, like via customer.
Bobby Bones
I'd like to buy the new. I'm calling because I have a problem with my cable. Okay, we can handle that. Let's also get you tied in with some HBO and some Cinemax. How does that sound? No, no, I literally just have a problem. It's entirely free. I don't know why you wouldn't want it. And I might later, but I just need one. I'm gonna add it to your account and then let's deal with fire. Man, I can't take this anymore.
Amy Brown
I'm gonna add it and we'll deal with it later.
Bobby Bones
Probably heard me clear my throat there on the air. I was trying to shotgun this water. How do people shotgun stuff?
Eddie
Well, it's a skill no one shotguns water.
Bobby Bones
But I was trying to, and I got it caught in my throat right before it went on, and I saw the mic come on, and I still.
Amy Brown
Couldn'T help but go, yeah, you either need it to be an aluminum can and you poke a hole in it with a key, or you need a funnel or something. Like, not a plastic water bottle.
Bobby Bones
No, but I see people do it at games all the time. Like, they go to prez games. People grab the cup and go, oh. And, like, they open their throat. Okay, Morgan, how do they do this?
Abby
Yeah, you nail it right at the end. You have to open your throat. It's part of, like, it. You kind of subconsciously close your throat when you start to swallow things, and you literally have to, like. Like, mind trick yourself to, like, open your throat. I know that sounds crazy.
Bobby Bones
I tried just now, that water. I don't recommend it.
Amy Brown
Trying to just.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, yeah, I'm. I'm texting with Ronnie done right now because he was like, I just didn't drink enough water. And he's like, it's overblown. Like, out of proportion. How people thought. Either he was, you know, sick and dying or leaving Brooks and done. He's like, no, I just was sick. Had been sick and was dehydrated. And it was the encore. And I was like, oh, I got to go. So, yeah, that's what's up.
Amy Brown
What a weird way for people to think. Like, he would handle his anger if he was upset. Like, he would just really walk off stage in the middle.
Eddie
Some people do that.
Bobby Bones
But he, like, patted to the audience's chest like, he did a very polite, okay, guys, I now quit. Okay, the real news. Recent studies have found that when men marry, they work harder and do better financially than single men. They are also less likely to hang out in bars to abuse alcohol or drugs or engage in illegal activity. They spend time with relatives. They're involved in religious and community activities. They are more responsible and involved at work and at home. This is for the Case for Marriage by Linda J. Waite and Maggie Gallagher. So I would say most good marriages have that. Sure. Yeah.
Amy Brown
Well, I think men have a innate sense of. Or a feeling to provide.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I hear you.
Amy Brown
When you get the opportunity to provide, you get better at it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I hear you about that. But still, there are still married guys I know that don't do that. Yeah, they just really. They put. They go the opposite direction.
Eddie
I know those guys, too.
Bobby Bones
I feel like it has done this to me in many ways. I don't know if I work harder, I think I work smarter because now I have to work equally as hard to have time for my wife, which I never had to prioritize. It was just all about me. I think when it says do better financially, I don't just throw willy nilly money at stupid stuff anymore. Baseball cards sometimes. Sometimes.
Amy Brown
Sometimes.
Bobby Bones
But I think about it at least a second time before I do that. So yeah, I just think generally responsibility brings on having to have multi layered thoughts about life. And that happens apparently with men when they marry. A flight attendant reveals the worst spot on a plane if you're prone to motion sickness and how to combat it. This is from the New York Post, which, by the way, I get terrible motion sickness. I'm talking about in an elevator. If I don't look at the buttons and it goes more than 10, 10 floors, I get motion sick.
Amy Brown
Oh, but if you look at the.
Bobby Bones
Buttons, it helps if I have a fixed eye line. Yes. If we're going a couple floors, it's fine. If I'm walking and scrolling, I will get sick. Passenger sick. So anywhere I can get sick. But I've never gotten sick on a plane. Not getting sick on a plane. Not getting. I don't get motion sick on an airplane. Turbulence is bound to happen just about every flight, says this flight attendant. And they say, never book a seat at the back of the plane if you're sensitive and get motion sick on flights because the back of the plane feels it more, the front hits it, but the back of the plane longer. It's kind of a whip. So if you can, when you're booking, book front or middle. And if you really can, dial in. Get near a wing.
Amy Brown
Yeah, wings are stable.
Bobby Bones
Couple drift is what they call the couples going to bed at the same night. Every night, same time. Yeah, yeah, same time. The Gottman Institute has this. And so when couples get married, maybe they don't. And then slowly they drift into going to bed around the same time we do this. But I think because we're both lame, I don't really think it's a drift thing more than it's. She likes to go to bed early. She likes to wake up early and be active in the morning. I hate going to bed early. I hate waking up in the morning, but I have to for this job. So it wasn't really marriage that did this, but I can see it happening. Eddie, you guys, My wife kind of.
Eddie
Makes me go to bed when she goes to bed because like, if I had my way, I would just stay downstairs for another two hours watch tv. But she's like, we're going to bed. So I join you know why?
Bobby Bones
Back to that first story. Marriage changes, man. Yeah, yeah, I agree that that first story though it says they spend time with the relatives are often involved in. But yeah, I would say even the relatives thing, like I, if I'm not like texting with my in laws or that kind of counts. Like I watched all three Razorback softball games this weekend. I maybe wouldn't have watched all three, but my brother in law coaches, I probably would have watched two out of the three. But yeah, like, and I also think about outside of my wife, when's the next time we can all hang out again? That's cool for her, but also for me. But yeah, I think I naturally do that now. Tick Tock remains accessible in the United States from Apple Insider. Apple's been given permission to keep Tick Tock in the App store for another 75 days. It did come up and they were just gonna kick the can a little bit, decide again later if they're gonna kick them out. They will not kick them out. They'll never kick them out. Out. The weather was really bad here. Again, not tornadoes. A lot of rain and flash flooding for like my friends and my sister in Arkansas. It's just flooding like crazy. There were, if you go through all the states, 19 people died.
Amy Brown
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
And now this goes back from the past few days, but there were tornado watches and warnings all across Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee. Record breaking rainfall in. In Tennessee. But I'm very fortunate that our place didn't flood. We have friends. There's water like either almost in their house or some of the businesses near them have water in the floor. But we got lucky that we didn't.
Amy Brown
Get that in Arkansas.
Bobby Bones
No, we as in me in Nashville here.
Amy Brown
Oh, okay. I thought you meant your. I don't know. I thought you meant in Arkansas.
Bobby Bones
You mean me and the whole state of Arkansas, we didn't get flooded here, but there. There's flooding like seven minutes from house.
Amy Brown
Yes.
Eddie
I mean it just never stopped raining.
Amy Brown
It didn't like ever.
Bobby Bones
You're on a hill.
Eddie
I'm on a hill, thankfully. So we didn't get any flooding, but.
Amy Brown
My power went out for a long time.
Bobby Bones
Our Internet went out.
Amy Brown
Oh, no.
Eddie
Oh, no.
Lunchbox
What did you do?
Bobby Bones
I just tethered to my phone.
Eddie
Did you panic?
Bobby Bones
No, but we were watching the severe weather on the TV. We just like. And so. Because the guys on YouTube do awesome here. And so all we did is screen Share the phone to the television. And so also, local news. Stop breaking in every five seconds for just rain. I'm trying to watch a basketball game.
Amy Brown
That's why you're annoying.
Bobby Bones
I'm trying to watch basketball game. And like, they. It's like their time to shine.
Amy Brown
It's life or death.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not. It was. It was rain. Only this day, if it's tornado warning, I get it. It's just rain.
Amy Brown
Well, it was kind of crazy rain.
Bobby Bones
No, stop it. So anyway, our Internet went out and you just. Now you can just tether it to your phone signal. So we just did that. I'm sure my phone bill is gonna be 700 because of the data. I streamed the whole. I streamed the whole television show on just my.
Amy Brown
I also would like to petition to change it. Tornado warning and tornado watch. Can we just make them completely different? Because I get confused which.
Bobby Bones
They're different.
Amy Brown
I know they are different, but the W's like watch and warning. I can't remember which one's which. Can we just be like, tornado bad. Bad, bad tornado just kind of bad.
Bobby Bones
Well, remember, like this tornado watch. You're just watching for the possibility.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Bobby Bones
There could be a tornado in the future. Warning, warning sign.
Eddie
Sound the alarm.
Bobby Bones
Warning doesn't even mean one is touched down, but it means the conditions are there for a tornado. Just remember this warning is worse than. Watch. More letters worse.
Amy Brown
I get that. And right now in this moment, I will remember that next time it rolls around. I'm like, which one's which?
Bobby Bones
Just remember this. Warning, Warning, warning, warning, warning.
Amy Brown
Safe place.
G
Warning.
Bobby Bones
I didn't say safe place.
Amy Brown
But if it's a warning, we probably should be in our safe place.
Bobby Bones
But now you're in. I'm just saying warning to make it sound like an alarm.
Amy Brown
Okay. And then watch. Nah, just.
Morgan
Just watch.
Eddie
We're just watching out.
Amy Brown
Yeah, we're just chilling. We're watching.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
Okay. That helps me. Oh, tbd.
Bobby Bones
That's the news. Thank you. Those were Bobby's big stories. Bobby bone show Bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Nashville, Tennessee. An officer was out doing regular patrol when he pulls up and he sees a car without a license plate. And he's like, ah, that's weird. Let me pull him over. Oh, high speed chase cop loses him. And he's like, man, I can't find him. Takes a left down the street and he goes, is that them at the gas station putting air in their tire? They stopped in the middle of the pursuit. Get air in their Tire. That's when they got busted.
Bobby Bones
Dang. When they got away too. I don't think I could get away with a car chasing me. If cars are equal, I don't think I can drive. I've strategically enough to get away in a chase. I do think if you gave me 15 minutes you wouldn't find me for two days.
Amy Brown
Like you need that head star in the.
Bobby Bones
You ever see ultimate hide and seek? Yeah, I'd be awesome at that. Like I watch it on my tik tok.
Eddie
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
You give me 15 minutes to run and hide. I don't think anybody find me.
Lunchbox
And I don't know how they lose a cop car cuz they're like specially souped up to go super fast.
Bobby Bones
I think even if I had especially souped up, I couldn't get away from a cop car. But on foot, if everybody's on foot, you ain't fine to me.
Amy Brown
Well, yeah, that's true. I was thinking what if you get a flat tire?
Bobby Bones
Well, I stopped to tie my shoe and that's when they'd find me. Okay, Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
Here's a voicemail from Isaac in Virginia. I'm listening to Eddie and Morgan put chairs together. Morgan is complaining about not knowing she could bring tools from home, but seem to remember there was a tire change contest and. And she brought a jack from home. Like a big jack, not the one that came in the car. Something like that. So she should know. Listen, I was scrutinized for letting Eddie use his tools, but I never said he couldn't. And then I did pull them away early, but he did win. And Eddie's chair sitting here all made up from Wayfair. And Morgan's chair looks sad.
Eddie
It sat on my chair.
Bobby Bones
Would you sit on Morgan's right now? No, that's an injury waiting to happen. But I think it's. It needs. We should at least fix the chair. Yeah. Finish the job, Morgan. Any response to that guy? Yeah.
Abby
No, I did not bring a jack from home. It was a jack that was in my car. It looked bigger than lunchboxes because I had a jeep and he had a car. Oh, so that would be why.
Bobby Bones
So when you compared sizes, his was smaller.
Amy Brown
Yes, that's exactly what happened.
Bobby Bones
That was all it was. Got it.
Abby
So I did not bring anything from home.
Bobby Bones
I feel bad. I shouldn't have let Eddie have. But I can't. I can't.
Eddie
Guys, it's done.
Bobby Bones
It is done.
Abby
It's done and I won't and I. Guys, I just.
Bobby Bones
Can you finish your chair though? Cause that looks really sad.
Abby
But like, I thought Amy was gonna take it home and just use it.
Bobby Bones
You think she'd take it home like that? Or touch. Kids are gonna break their legs.
Abby
Yeah, we should put it together. Guys, I have ptsd. I don't need to look at it.
Bobby Bones
We're done. Thanks to Wayfair again for sending us the chairs to put together.
Eddie
Do you want me to finish putting it together?
