Bobby Bones
Here we go. Come on, Bobby.
Amy
Transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Let's go. Welcome to Monday's show Morning Studio.
Eddie
Morning.
Bobby Bones
This guy sued a razor company cuz he Cut his face while shaving.
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
Dude, let's go. I cut my face all the time. I can't see. I have to take my glasses up to shave. And so I cut like a little mole here. I cut it off like once every two weeks. Yeah.
Amy
Hey.
Bobby Bones
I can't see. But he made 6,250 bucks. That's not bad for cutting his face.
Morgan
That's a win.
Bobby Bones
I cut my face every day.
Eddie
Everyone does, right?
Lunchbox
No. This is crazy to me.
Bobby Bones
Amanda. Cut himself shaving. Got the money. Nick Silverthorne purchased a supermarket owned razor from his local store. When he got home, he used it for the first time since he cut both cheeks. He discovered one of the razor blades was detached.
Lunchbox
Oh, well, there you go.
Bobby Bones
So he believed the razor was faulty still, though?
Lunchbox
No. Cause if it's a little bit detached and it's wonky and you're just going. You're shaving unusual.
Bobby Bones
You never just go to town when you shave. There's never a point, Amy. In my face shaving where I just like, time to go to town. You're always sensitive with it.
Lunchbox
I know, but if there's a loose blade, that is. I mean, now. Now I agree with him.
Eddie
Yeah. How bad is his cut, though? Like, we kind of just have, like a little skin off. This guy have bad cuts?
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
Do you have stitches?
Lunchbox
One on each side.
Bobby Bones
He says this was no ordinary cut. It sliced my skin.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
My cut bled for 20 minutes. All my cuts do.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
I have to put toilet paper and it stays there for an hour sometimes.
Lunchbox
Y'all don't have. As men, like, y'all don't have that nick stick?
Eddie
Yeah, we have that.
Lunchbox
Oh, you do?
Eddie
They sell it.
Lunchbox
Okay, so I.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but do you have that?
Eddie
No, I don't shave my face.
Lunchbox
What?
Eddie
I don't use razor blades.
Lunchbox
What? What do you do?
Eddie
I just use electric razor.
Lunchbox
Oh, okay. You shave. I thought that you were just saying, like, facial hair doesn't grow on me.
Eddie
Nah, I stopped shaving, like, with a blade. I don't know. In college.
Bobby Bones
I shave with a blade a couple times a week, but I never bought a Nikki.
Lunchbox
You should get a nick stick. So I don't know what's in it. It could be causing cancer. Who knows? But you stick it on the cut, the nick and whatever is in there, it looks like a little piece of chalk, and you just stick it on there and voila, it stops bleeding.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Morgan
They do have nic sticks.
Bobby Bones
I love a walla.
Ray
They use that same thing on, like, dog nails. Like, if a Dog nail starts bleeding. It's the same thing you put on it.
Lunchbox
Nick stick.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna forget about it, though. As soon as. Not that I wanna forget about it. That will be a gift someone has to get me. Otherwise I'll never remember that there's such thing as a nick stick. That's from swns. Medical bills won't be seen on credit reports thanks to a new rule, which is great.
Lunchbox
No, that's so great.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Credit reports will no longer include medical debt for Americans. The new rule was finalized by the Consumer Financial Bureau. It'll take effect in March. It'll help people be able to buy massive purchases. Houses, cars that they should have a better shot at buying. Except for medical debt, which they had no control of. This is actually a really big deal. Medical bills drag down credit ratings, and then people don't qualify for loans, for mortgages. Yeah, we're not talking about taking out a loaned, like, gamble. I mean, it's like real life affecting real life stuff. This is great news. That is from CBS News. This woman went inside this cabinet that she bought on Facebook Marketplace in his old cabinet, and she found 12 Herme China dinner plates. 12 of them, and they're worth 250 bucks each.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's Hermes, but Is that how you say it? It doesn't matter.
Eddie
Is this the same, like, purse?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think they make China. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Their native way to say it is Hermes.
Eddie
I feel like you've done research.
Bobby Bones
I know. I do know how the folks say it there. I wasn't gonna correct Amy. Correcting me. I was just gonna let it live.
Lunchbox
Oh, I don't want correction. I was just saying I think so that people know it's that fancy brand. It's not a different brand. It's like that.
Bobby Bones
But you said I said it wrong. Guys.
Lunchbox
She corrected me, didn't she?
Eddie
You're kind of correcting me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's okay. It doesn't matter. I wasn't gonna correct you. Correcting me?
Lunchbox
What were you gonna correct me on if I was correcting you?
Bobby Bones
I wasn't gonna correct you. No, no. I was just gonna keep going and let you just take me down a notch and live down there, even though I knew I wasn't.
Lunchbox
That's not what I wanted to do.
Bobby Bones
No, that's okay.
Lunchbox
I was saying it's that fancy brand.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, but you said you corrected how I said it.
Lunchbox
Okay, you did.
Bobby Bones
I have just been.
Lunchbox
Okay, fine. Say Herme. Erme.
Amy
Amy.
Eddie
I'm pretty sure you said it's pronounced she did pregnant.
Bobby Bones
Okay, it doesn't matter.
Lunchbox
I think it's Hermes.
Morgan
No, you didn't say think.
Lunchbox
Carry on.
Eddie
Go ahead. What's the story, man?
Bobby Bones
I don't even want to do the story anymore. Oh, no, whatever the whole story is, she found a bunch of expensive stuff in this thing she bought on Facebook. Marketplace. Right.
Lunchbox
She was supposed to just get the Hutch on Facebook. Marketplace. And then she opened it up and there's valuable, like, dishes and stuff inside.
Eddie
But Hermes does make, like, purses and plates.
Bobby Bones
They make. Maybe it's Hermes. Well, no. The S can almost be heard in the native language, but not fully. Really?
Amy
Amazing.
Eddie
What is the native language?
Bobby Bones
But it's like, how do you say this brand? Amy and I have this weird. That I can't talk about now, but I have this weird introduction to the fashion world. Not that it affects me at all. How do you say this brand?
Lunchbox
Okay, I probably don't know.
Bobby Bones
But you know. You know the brand.
Lunchbox
Oh, well.
Bobby Bones
Give it a run.
Lunchbox
YSL Give it a run. Now I'm nervous. But Saint Laurent.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Yves Saint Laurent.
Lunchbox
Yves eaves. But.
Bobby Bones
Y e, Y V e S Y.
Lunchbox
Ve S. Okay, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I know these odd things. And the native tongue of that.
Eddie
How do you pronounce that?
Bobby Bones
That is called guacamole.
Eddie
No, it's not.
Bobby Bones
See, that I know nothing of.
Lunchbox
Why? What about Saint Laurent? I just never say the Eve's fart.
Eddie
Hey, Saint Laurent.
Bobby Bones
Just running by you.
Lunchbox
Well, running it by me.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
No, but you said something before that.
Bobby Bones
Who knows?
Eddie
Dude, when you watch their commercials, I think you get the right pronoun.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Sort of how you get the American version.
Morgan
They have commercials for this?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Lenny Kravitz, he says.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Anyway, whatever. Tiffany and Company. There's a box. It doesn't matter. I hate the story. This story's put me in a bad mood to start the show.
Morgan
Was it the story or was it Amy?
Bobby Bones
Amy never puts me in a bad mood, man.
Lunchbox
I just thought it was Hermes.
Bobby Bones
Which works if you're American.
Eddie
Which we are.
Bobby Bones
Correct.
Eddie
We're all American.
Lunchbox
How do. Okay, so you're saying in the native over wherever they're from. I don't even know.
Bobby Bones
I like to keep it real. I like to keep it real. It's like guacahole.
Eddie
Guacamole.
Bobby Bones
How do you say it?
Eddie
Guacamole.
Bobby Bones
You say walk.
Eddie
Yeah, guacamole.
Amy
Walk.
Bobby Bones
But I say if I'm. No one says walk. Yes, they do.
Lunchbox
Walk.
Bobby Bones
And if I'm.
Eddie
White people.
Bobby Bones
Dude. Yeah. Yes, in our tongue.
Eddie
Right? In Your native tongue.
Bobby Bones
In my native tongue, I say guac. But if we're. If we're going to Chipotle, we don't say, I'll have some wok.
Eddie
Right, because they'll never understand what you're saying. But what would you say the real pronunciation is?
Bobby Bones
Fair enough.
Eddie
Guacamole.
Bobby Bones
But if you're at Chipotle and you ask for whatever.
Eddie
Guacamole.
Bobby Bones
No, no. Do the one. One syllable. Guac. No, you don't say that. You don't say that. That's bullcrap.
Lunchbox
You don't say wok.
Eddie
Can I have a side of wok, please? Nah, I have to say guac. They do not know they correct. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So no one's wrong. I mean, you're not wrong. I just felt insulted because I was corrected for I wasn't being extremely right.
Lunchbox
I really feel like I said, it doesn't matter. I think it's our mess.
Bobby Bones
It was a little more aggressive.
Lunchbox
It was.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Let's pull the tape.
Bobby Bones
Don't care to. Don't even care about this.
Morgan
We don't want to relive that.
Lunchbox
I do. Because this has been going on and on.
Bobby Bones
Throws the ring.
Lunchbox
I thought it was just a quick Hermes. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's Hermes.
Bobby Bones
It works. Some people call it Hermes. Herms. Hermes. Hermes. Not me. I call it Hermes. And I call it Yves Saint Laurent.
Lunchbox
Yves Saint Laurent.
Bobby Bones
Yves St Laurent. And then I call it guac. Yeah, well, extra guac, please.
Eddie
Yeah, you have to say that.
Bobby Bones
Do you think they behind their breath go, he's a whitey at Chipotle. The cracker wants some guac. They do that. They don't do that. Normal. No.
Lunchbox
Because when you say, do they. Do you want a salad or tortilla? You say tortilla.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What do you say?
Eddie
Tortilla.
Bobby Bones
No, you don't. No, you don't. That's right. But. That's right.
Eddie
I do.
Bobby Bones
Tortilla. All of us are right. What about.
Eddie
What about fajita?
Bobby Bones
I'll take a vegeta.
Lunchbox
How do you say, like, quesadilla?
Eddie
Oh, quesadilla.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because that. Yeah, I don't do that.
Eddie
Quesadilla. But, like, people say quesadilla.
Bobby Bones
No, I never heard.
Lunchbox
That's all he.
Morgan
That's the only person I've ever heard.
Bobby Bones
Say that all the time. I want a quesadilla. You're saying it to be funny. You're saying it to be funny. No, I've said that's my favorite food. And I always say, I Want a quesadilla. But you're saying it to be funny. You don't actually think that's what it's called. Well, now I've learned there's other ways to pronounce it. But I've always said other ways. The actual ways. But even our way to pronounce it natively is not correct. But it is correct in our American version of it. Ray also calls chipotle chipoodle, but that's a nickname. He's being funny.
Eddie
I don't think so.
Morgan
That's being funny.
Bobby Bones
That's him being funny. If you think he's saying quesadilla and chipoodle, and that's the real reason he thinks you're out of your mind. Okay, but for everybody listening, we can't say anything right ever, generally as a show. So any of us taking shots at anybody is the irony there is living. But okay. Well, I do feel like some chipoodle today, though.
Eddie
Now after that, I can get a quesadilla.
Bobby Bones
I'm not a quesadilla guy.
Eddie
Oh, really? At all.
Lunchbox
Their quesadillas are good.
Bobby Bones
Just in general. Not a quesadilla guy. And I like everything in it. And I'll eat one if someone gets it. I don't like any vegetables in it. I only want meat and cheese.
Eddie
What do you want? Chicken. Beef.
Bobby Bones
Beef. But I'll do chicken. I'll do chicken, but beef. But I'm not a quesadilla guy, period. I'll never order a quesadilla at a Mexican restaurant ever. My favorite thing in a Mexican restaurant is just two crunchy tacos with the soft.
Eddie
With, like, the ground beef.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, beef. Beef for sure. Like the poor man taco. Not even the fajita beef.
Eddie
The Taco Bell taco.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, got it. I think that's what's conditioned me to Mexican restaurants. I don't like onions, so if I'm like, I'll take. There have been many times where I've gotten the fajita beef taco, and I'm like, I'll just get the steak taco. But they can't get all the onions out of it. And I hate onions so much it ruins it. So I'll just take two crunchy tacos. And I need American cheese shredded. A little bit of lettuce, a little bit of tomato.
Lunchbox
American cheese or shredded cheddar.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Whatever's American, basically, is what I'm saying.
Lunchbox
Oh. Because American cheese. I think of the American slices. Slices.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm Just thinking of cheese from America.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Any of them. There you go. When you order a burger, don't you.
Eddie
Say American cheese and they give you a.
Bobby Bones
No, I just say cheese.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I don't think. I think. You know what would be a fun thing to do, and I'm going to do no research on this. Mike, let's get cheeses and have me see if I can identify the cheese blindfolded, because I don't think I even know the difference. Like American cheese.
Lunchbox
Swiss.
Bobby Bones
Sure.
Eddie
But, like, cheddar.
Morgan
Is cheddar the same thing as America?
Bobby Bones
I thought they were all American.
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Buy them in America.
Lunchbox
Munster.
Morgan
I've never heard of that.
Bobby Bones
Is that what it's called? Muenster. Is it called muenster?
Lunchbox
There's a Muenster cheese. It's good.
Bobby Bones
Is it muenster or is that.
Lunchbox
I think it's munster.
Eddie
The Munsters, Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Adam family.
Lunchbox
Oh, goat.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, you would know that one.
Morgan
There's one called Swiss, right? That's the one with holes.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we said that one.
Bobby Bones
Feta, gouda, Brie, Blue.
Eddie
Blue cheese.
Bobby Bones
I want to do a cheese experiment, even if it's just for visual, for our YouTube channel, because I don't think I know anything. I don't know the difference in cheeses. I do like going into the cheddar cheese. If my wife buys a pack of it, like, for making tacos, I just go hands deep into the shredded. But, yeah, I'm having stomach issues, so maybe not the best idea. But we should do it anyway. I'll commit to it for later. Aren't you not supposed to eat dairy? I'm good for this bit. It's one bite. I'll do it.
Lunchbox
Pop a lactate.
Morgan
What?
Eddie
Pop a lactate. I never said pop a lactate.
Bobby Bones
All right, let's get the show started. Something weird happened to Morgan. I don't know if it's weird. It feels weird. You guys be the judge. Morgan, tell them what happened.
Ray
So I went to get, like, a facial done, and you go into kind of a spa like room, but there's a comfy bed that you lay on, and they do the facial. Well, they gave me a robe, and she was like, okay, we'll change and get ready for your facial. So I got completely naked and I put the robe on, but it felt really weird because she was just working.
Bobby Bones
On my weird kind of weird. They give you a robe for just face. Do you think she knew it was just face?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Or is it weird that she got naked.
Lunchbox
This didn't happen to Morgan. Morgan did it. Like, it's like, it sound like something happened to her. She chose. She chose.
Bobby Bones
So, Morgan, you're the weird one. Do. Do you think. Yeah. So she gave you a rope, so you automatically think, well, gotta get naked.
Ray
Yeah. Because it felt weird. I. I had left my pants on, and then I was like, well, I have a robe and then pants on, and this doesn't feel also normal. So I just took off my pants because I didn't know what else to do.
Lunchbox
I mean, I think it's okay if you want to get comfortable, but typically they give the robe because during a facial, they go down the neck and into the chest decollete area so that you want to have your top off so they can work that area too.
Bobby Bones
So in your opinion, she should have left her pants on.
Lunchbox
I mean, what would you have done? But also, I do understand Morgan wanting to feel cozy.
Bobby Bones
You'd have gone reverse poo.
Lunchbox
No, no.
Bobby Bones
No pants and no top.
Lunchbox
No, no, no. I would have kept my bottoms on. Yeah, but taken my top off.
Bobby Bones
And because Winnie the Pooh only wears.
Lunchbox
Okay, there you go.
Bobby Bones
But no pants.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Eddie
Someone gives you a robe, though, don't you automatically think, like, well, all right.
Lunchbox
But you know, you're there for a.
Bobby Bones
Facial because I don't know, I think if they gave me the robe, I wouldn't even put it on. I would just. I'm like, you're on my face. I just take my. My sweater off.
Morgan
But it's more relaxing to be naked under a rope. Like, it makes the whole.
Bobby Bones
Relaxing to me to be naked with people. I don't know. Regardless of the situation.
Morgan
It's like a massage, dude. You go fully naked, you take.
Bobby Bones
I don. Up. And I know people do, but I. So I don't.
Lunchbox
Like, I could see if you had jeans on, it would be uncomfortable. So you take the jeans off. So I'm not.
Bobby Bones
What kind of pants you have on?
Ray
I had on leggings.
Bobby Bones
Oh, well, see, I think she just want to get naked.
Ray
I. I didn't know what to do. I kind of panicked. It felt. It felt weird no matter which way I went. And because there was a robe and it was a comfy bed, I was like, well, okay, I guess this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to be naked for a facial.
Bobby Bones
For just a facial. Would you have said you would have kept your pants on?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Is Morgan weird?
Lunchbox
Well, I don't want to say she's weird. I just. What I will say is, it didn't happen to her, she happened to it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, and I didn't understand that. That makes sense. That's a great point. Dear Bobby Bones, I have a friend who wants me to recommend her for a job where I work. I have been able to get other friends hired. However, I have legitimate concerns and I'm confident she is not what my superiors are looking for. Nice person. I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to crush her or selfishly lose the credibility because I have credibility with my boss. Now. Any advice would be appreciated. Sincerely, happy employee. You do not have to do it now. It's here's what you choose. You choose how you let her know you're not doing it. You can do the route that I wouldn't do, which is the mature, honest route, and be like, hey, I don't think this is right for you based on your job experience, etc. That's not the route I would do. I would do is be like, they had to post that because of HR reasons. It's already full. That's a lie. But that's what I would do because I don't want to hurt my friend. I'm not recommending my friend for this job if they suck, because that's on me and I'm going to be held responsible forever for their actions. So your friend did this to themselves. If they are not reliable and they are not what is needed for this job, you do not have to recommend them because that's going to fall on you. It's like setting somebody up. Amy. If I were like, amy, I got this friend. I'm going to set you up with him. He's awesome and he's not right a little bit you're going to blame me.
Lunchbox
But you probably do think that he's.
Bobby Bones
No, no. But if I knew a little bit, like, he's cheated before. Like, he's like. He's like a my friend and I love him for reasons like in our friendship, I know with women, like, he's like, kind of shady and I set you up with them and he does that to you a little bit. You got to look at me and go, why?
Lunchbox
Why did you do that? I know.
Bobby Bones
So you do not. And I would not recommend a friend for this job. If you don't think they're going to make you look good, you do not owe it to this friend to do that because they're not going to give you the same respect back by showing up on time being a good employee. And I would also lie about it. Because that's what friends are for. Do you have anything?
Lunchbox
I don't think I'm gonna lie about it, but I think, yeah, you just lost a friend. I'm. Well, no, because what if she finds out that she's not the job is available and that I told her that. Oh, they just had to post that. It's full.
Bobby Bones
There's no way she would ever find out.
Lunchbox
But what if she did?
Bobby Bones
Okay, but what if she grows wings out of her butt and flies to the moon?
Eddie
Oh, that'd be weird.
Bobby Bones
That would be weird if she would get the job done. Because that is a skill that is not trainable.
Lunchbox
Gosh, I just want to hope that, like, what if I'm wrong and she. What if she's amazing at the job and then I'm robbing her of that opportunity?
Bobby Bones
She's your friend, you know, It'd be like my friend that I set you up with. I know.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. All right, close it up. Thank you for emailing. This is a voicemail from Matt in Virginia. Hey, Bones.
Peter Tilden
Morning, studio.
Bobby Bones
I was addicted to the hokey Pokey.
Amy
But I turned myself around.
Bobby Bones
Love the show.
Amy
Love you guys. Y'all are the best.
Bobby Bones
Solid, solid delivery team. Solid delivery. Next one up. Hi.
Matt Castle
I have a question for Eddie. Your wife had gone back to work after several years off, and you were talking about how in the afternoons, because you get done earlier, you were doing laundry and picking up the house and kind of taking over some of those roles that she had done for so long so that she could go back to work. And I'm just wondering if she's staying home again, if that pendulum has shifted back the other way and she's kind of taking those back over or if you're still helping out around the house. And I. I just wonder.
Eddie
Yeah, she. She's not working anymore.
Bobby Bones
She.
Eddie
She doesn't have that job anymore. So she came back. She came back home.
Bobby Bones
Okay, now be honest about what you're doing, cuz I don't want you to paint yourself in a picture.
Eddie
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
That is so glowing. Like, she wants to know now how. How the roles change in the afternoon.
Eddie
Well, when she had the job, it was tricky because, yeah, I did have to kind of get home around noon and take those duties.
Bobby Bones
You're just not answering the question.
Eddie
And now I'm kind of back to the way I used to be.
Bobby Bones
Oh, cool. Not doing nothing.
Eddie
No, I still help a little bit, but not as much as I used to.
Bobby Bones
Percentage of what you used to.
Eddie
What I used to. Maybe like, 15%.
Bobby Bones
Solid answer. I believe that. I'm not saying I agree with it. I believe. I believe you telling the truth. Good for you. All right, well, not good for you, but good for you for telling the truth. Thank you, Eddie.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Lunchbox
This guy is making a living by standing on the street praising strangers for a small fee. Like, he'll just tell you something really awesome about yourself. And he said he's making $65 a day.
Amy
Oh.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that ain't enough.
Eddie
Oh, really? Should charge more.
Bobby Bones
Well, no, I'm not gonna do that for 65 bucks a day. Oh, like, I get. If you're, like, a homeless guy and you're. That's a good little trick. Like, compliments, $1.
Lunchbox
Well, this guy, he was once addicted to gambling, lost his family, lost his job, couldn't even pay his mortgage, and now he just spends his day spreading good feelings and makes money doing it.
Bobby Bones
No, I feel like. Hope he has a real job, too.
Eddie
Well, it's probably tax free, too, man. There's a little coins.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to out them. Then IRS goes out.
Lunchbox
Well, I was thinking Lunchbox is always looking for ways to make money.
Bobby Bones
I also hope he doesn't, like, give a compliment and expect the money, because those people don't do your windows. They come, and if you're ever in a big city and they start scrubbing, wiping your window, then they just expect the money. And I'm like, bro, my window was clean.
Eddie
Or when they save a parking spot for you, I'm like, no, no, I found that.
Bobby Bones
I think you didn't find.
Lunchbox
He's gaining popularity to where people sort of seek him out, too. He has a nickname. His name's Uncle Praise.
Morgan
That's only $8 an hour. Minimum wage is more than that.
Lunchbox
No, not. Not everywhere.
Bobby Bones
No, not everywhere.
Lunchbox
And you don't have to pay taxes.
Bobby Bones
But, Amy, don't get Uncle Praise in trouble.
Lunchbox
Sorry.
Bobby Bones
Or yourself. Okay.
Morgan
I don't know how you live your life.
Lunchbox
I'm sure he probably does. All right, so humans have New Year's resolutions, but I read something this morning. I was like, what? Because people have them for their pets, and apparently they're trying to cut back on treats, exercise more.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Lunchbox
Eat healthier. They want to spend more time outside and brush their teeth.
Bobby Bones
Well, the humans want this, right? So the humans can actually make that. It's like when I was giving Stanley, our bulldog, a lot of credit for working hard and losing five pounds, and I was like, dude, you did It. And my wife's like, he didn't do crap. You just fed him less. I was like, that's a great point. That's a good point.
Eddie
Because he wouldn't have done it.
Bobby Bones
No, no. He would eat more. Okay, what else?
Lunchbox
So Gen Z, they are really anxious when it comes to phone calls so much. So they did this whole study with them. And they experience nausea, increase in heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness and muscular tension when they have a phone call coming in or they have to make a phone call.
Bobby Bones
That sounds a bit dramatic. I'll be honest. You. But my things I hate the most. I have a new one on my list. So I hate opening a trash bag when you have to go and put the liner in.
Lunchbox
I wonder what's up with that.
Bobby Bones
I hate that so much.
Lunchbox
To clean houses and you had to do that.
Bobby Bones
Possibly. It could be it and I'm grossed out, but I just hate it. I hate it so much. And I have a couple of those, but I think one of them is talking on the phone. I hate talking on the phone.
Lunchbox
Do you experience nausea, increase in heart?
Bobby Bones
I hate it. So if I. It does not matter who it is. No. I'm going to tell you why. I don't mind FaceTiming and I don't mind texting. I hate talking because people cannot take my social cue of I don't want to talk anymore because you can't see each other and I don't want to talk anymore. Just generally speaking, if you're ever talking to me on the phone, I don't want to talk anymore. Just think that the whole time now, if you want to FaceTime, I'm all, great. We can talk. Talk. And we can exhaust whatever conversation we're having. Maybe we pivot to something else. But you'll be able to tell. Tell by my face when I'm done.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because I hate talking on the phone.
Lunchbox
You can't see the face. Then mentally we just be like, he doesn't want to talk. I don't want to talk anymore.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to talk on the phone to anybody. Especially now. We know FaceTime all day long. All right, what else?
Lunchbox
Quick little quiz for y'all. So David Schwimmer, he was Ross on Friends. What do you think he is yelled at him the most when he's, like, walking down the street and maybe some fans come up. What do you think they say to him the most?
Morgan
Pivot.
Eddie
That's what I thought. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They're yelling. Yeah. It's gonna be that from the couch scene.
Lunchbox
That's the number one thing. He gets yelled at. Pivot. And sometimes, you know, he'll get. We were on a break.
Bobby Bones
That's good, too. I didn't think about that one. That's a good one, too.
Eddie
What's the root of that one?
Bobby Bones
Him and Jennifer Aniston. He got caught with the bartender, and then she's like, you cheated.
Lunchbox
He was like, oh, God, they're on a break.
Bobby Bones
They were on a break.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm Team Ross. And they were on a break.
Lunchbox
They were on a break.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox

Morgan
Jess Parker was on a hike with her dog, Waldo, the corgi. When Jess fell, it snap.
Bobby Bones
Ah.
Morgan
I broke my leg.
Bobby Bones
Ah.
Morgan
She thinks she called for help. Only problem is she didn't bring her phone, couldn't call anybody. So she screamed out, help.
Bobby Bones
Help.
Morgan
No one could hear her. So Waldo licked her face, said, I'll be back. Went running.
Bobby Bones
How did that dog say that?
Lunchbox
He licked her face, licked her face.
Morgan
Saying, hey, I got you. Went running away like 15 minutes later, comes back with a human. Waldo had gone up to the human and grabbed the pants legs and said, and led the person back to Jess. And then now that the person's there, Waldo ran all the way home and got her husband and brought him back.
Bobby Bones
Okay, are we sure it can't be real? Are we sure that Listen.
Morgan
No, this is what it says. And paramedics arrived shortly after that. She went to the hospital, had surgery, and her quote is, Waldo passed the Lassie test with flying colors, proving his quick thinking and loyalty.
Bobby Bones
Then he got Timmy out of the well. As soon as I went to the hospital, he got two people, if true, Awesome. I believe one that have been crazy. And I was like, wow. It's hard to believe, but I can't believe it. A corgi, though, would I expect nothing from a corgi. They're little. I expect Nothing from a corgi. That's a great story. The second part makes me question it a little more.
Morgan
I do question it. About him biting the pant leg of a human. Because if you're thinking you're going to get bit, you're probably hitting that dog off.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Unless it licks it and says, come with me. Right. Because you already had a lick and said, I'll be back. Yeah, that seems to be a good story.
Morgan
It seems to be all true, too.
Eddie
It needs to be a movie if it's true.
Bobby Bones
That's the craziest story I've ever heard. Yeah. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know Howie Mandela, you may know him from way back in the day, St. Elsewhere. You may know him as the host of Deal or no Deal. You may know him from America's Got Talent, a judge. You may know him. Bobby from Bobby's World. Super funny, super famous. So happy he's on. Here. He is. Howie Mando. I've never seen that happen before. Where it doesn't adjust.
Lunchbox
You may have to unlock it.
Amy
Yeah, well, you asked for it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, can you hear me?
Eddie
No, no, no.
Amy
Oh, you want it this way?
Bobby Bones
Hey, tell Scuba if he'll unlock his phone, it'll flip.
Eddie
He's not able to figure out how.
Amy
To unlock it and do that.
Eddie
So I figured like that.
Bobby Bones
All right, cool. Hey, how. It's Bobby.
Amy
Hi, Bobby. I. I saw that he muted it because you said, if you unlock it, then you can go on horizontal. And then he muted it to say, nah, this guy's an idiot.
Bobby Bones
Well, he did. No, exactly what he said. And I don't agree with him.
Amy
I get it.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't agree with him in any way. He said no.
Eddie
I just said, I want to waste anyone's time, which is move on, let's go.
Bobby Bones
And I said, how he's can know how to unlock his phone. It's not a big deal.
Amy
No, no. He called me an idiot. Now I'm not gonna unlock my phone. You're gonna have to watch me vertically like this.
Bobby Bones
And you know what? I agree with Howie is what I scream. Because that was unfair. You should block the camera, Howie, to show him.
Amy
You know that when you're on a. When you're on a. Like a zoom, like that, and you talk to me, talk to me, talk to me. Bobby says something and then you mute it. It's something you didn't want to share with me.
Bobby Bones
It's like if you're on speakerphone in the car and someone's like, hey, John's in here with me, it's like, well, why. Why did you say that so passionately? You want me to hear what you're about to talk about? I agree, Howie. Justice for you, and I'm very sorry that happened to you.
Amy
You know what? I'm gonna live with it, and life goes on.
Bobby Bones
I'm a big fan, by the way. Thank you for your time, man. Really, seriously. Thank you for.
Amy
I'm a big fan of yours. You're a great broadcaster, and we should work together sometime at some time, you.
Bobby Bones
Know, I have a question, Howie, about when you work, and this is so in the weeds, but whenever you do, for example, AGT America, but then you go and do Canada, do you just have a house there like that you like? What's. What's that schedule? How long are you there?
Amy
Well, first of all, you've worked on these shows. You worked on, like American Idol. I don't have to be there that long. It's not really. I hate to say this, but I finished negotiating already, so I'm okay with saying it. It doesn't feel like a job. I go and stay in a hotel. Canada's Got Talent is maybe, you know, out of the whole year, two weeks work. By the same token, so is, you know, any of these shows, the Voice, our show, agt, it's not a lot of work. I'm just really just sitting, watching a show. Somebody dances, and I go, that was good. It's not a real show. I feel like I should. I'm not gonna say that. Pay them. But I love. I would go and do. Go to shows where whenever I can. And I love, like, amateur shows. I love watching TV. I scroll on the Internet, TikTok, wherever. You know, originally I posted the guy who won last year, Richard. Good. I posted him on TikTok. His. His. His piece of him singing in the school. And then our producers saw that, and that's how he got on. You know, I just love watching that stuff, whether I have the job or not, so. And then again, to be in the room when somebody with a hope and a dream, it just comes to fruition. You feel it when you're in that room. You feel like, oh, my God, this is something I've never seen in a way, I've never seen it. And their life is about to change, and it's never going to be the same. And I'm invited to the party And I got ro it.
Bobby Bones
How often do you get on stage now, aside from agt, Because I've been a fan of your standup forever. Like, my favorite bit ever is when you blow up the freaking glove. Like, that's like. To me, I still laugh at watching it.
Amy
You're older than I thought. The truth of the matter is I get on stage whenever I can, you know, and I'm on stage four or five times. My real love is stand up. And I love doing standup because I can say all the things that I can't say, say on TV or when I'm working with somebody, it's not. And people who know me from AGT and Deal or no Deal or wherever Bobby's World, they're always somewhat surprised because I don't think my standup is family fair. In fact, go to howiemandel.com, you'll see I'm touring next week. I'm in Vegas right now, but I'm in Vegas next week at the MGM with Arsenio Hall. Me and Arsenio are doing dates together. I'm all over the place. And when I'm not doing dates at night after work, I'll go to the Comedy Store, the Ice House, the Laugh Factory, and I just, you know, go and fool around on stage to just stay sharp and ready for any. But that's where I started. That's. And that's what I continue to do.
Bobby Bones
What do people yell at you if they're not right to you? Mostly? Like, what are you known by the general public? What do they yell the most at you?
Amy
It varies. You know, I have these very segregated audiences. Everything from Do Bobby, which is not you. They're not telling me to do you. But I had a Show in the 90s on Saturday morning called Bobby's World. So they want me to do the voice, which is not that great. The voice of every other voiceover acting job I had. I was Skeeter on the Muppet Babies and I was Gizmo on Gremlins. You know the movies Gremlins, I'm Gizmo. It's the same voice. But I did other voices, too. I was Animal and Bunsen Honeydew on Muppin Baby. So from. Do voices or they'll yell out, can you swear on this thing? Go ahead, get the off the stage. They'll yell that. They'll yell that sometimes.
Bobby Bones
What is that?
Amy
But that's only when.
Bobby Bones
Pardon me, what is that from what? I know that one.
Amy
Get the off the stage.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, that's just my family showing up to a show.
Bobby Bones
Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh. Got it. Thank you. Thank you. Nailed it.
Amy
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Thank you. Yeah. Good. Thank you. Hey, we just had from you thought.
Amy
Get the off the stage.
Bobby Bones
I was like, I don't know that.
Amy
Show from a project. Oh, you're the. Get the out of here guy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I was like, Bobby's world went to Max, I guess, and he's gotten older. We just had your boy on who won the season and it was super cool to talk to him. I didn't know. Yeah, Richard was on Goodall and he was on with us talking about, you know, just his experience because, like, he's a normal dude, right? He's a janitor and still does it.
Amy
He's still a janitor. He just opened for me last week. I played a casino in. In Palm Springs and he was the opening. And then he hangs around for my old show and then cleans up after. He just can't. He can't put down the broom.
Bobby Bones
He's the one that yells get the f off the stage. Yeah, yeah. Repeats, repeats. So with the auditions and you posted that and again, that is go to.
Amy
Agtauditions.Com if you're in the LA area. I'm auditioning for because I want stand up to really do well on the show. So I'm doing at the Ice House. I'm gonna have on February 6th a showcase for just comedians and I'm bringing the producers down and maybe we can get to. We've had some great comics on the show who have gone on and had great careers and tour with me too. People like Preacher Lawson and Mike Winslow and people have done Tom Kotter. They've gone really far and helped their careers. So, yeah, I'm going to do a showcase for that. But if you can't show up anywhere, go to AGT auditions.com and you don't know. And you know what the truth of the matter is that regardless of how you do on the show, even if you don't win the million dollars, even if somebody on our panel doesn't click and get what you do, everybody's life has changed. You're gonna. You're. You'll have more. More notoriety. You' opportunity to do whatever it is in places that you didn't have that opportunity before because you were on AGT and you got seen on agt. It changes lives. You don't have to win. Everybody's a winner who shows up.
Bobby Bones
I found that too, because I spent four years on Idol and people would Be think the old Idol version of, well, they must own you. It's like, no, no, they don't own you. The landscape has completely changed. And secondly, they're like, well, I don't know if I want to do it, because it's like, you do it so people see you, and so they go to your social media account, and then they can become a fan of everything you're about outside of the show. But the show AGT or Idol or any of these shows, it's an introduction, a massive introduction to your art. And I think that's what these shows are so good at now.
Amy
And I think that people are we in life, whether you're in show business or not. You know, always the key is. And I think Nike says it best with just do it. You gotta do it. And there's no other avenue to just get eyeballs or ears into whatever you're doing. You shouldn't. It's great for you to think. There's so many reasons why I don't want to do it. I don't want to be bound by a contract. I don't want to look stupid. I don't want to be judged. I don't want to be up against that kind of thing. That's not what I do. There's no reason for anybody at any level not to show up. You know, and whether you're an amateur, whether you have a dream, whether you even have a career now, it'll only be better. I look at these shows like agt, like the. Like the US Open, you know, people will go, you know, well, it's not fair. This is a guy that had a record deal. Well, you know what? He had a record deal, and you're not doing much now, and you want to compete. If you're a professional tennis player, you go to the US Open, you go to the Australia Open. It's not just an amateur show, but it is a place where an amateur can show up. Somebody. A janitor can show up, or somebody who's making a living at it now but wants to just take it to the next level, or somebody who just. You know, there was a guy on. I think he was on last year again, but I remember him when. When Howard Stern was one of the judges, he went by the name of Horse. And his thing was, he had the ability to get kicked in the. In the nether area with. And he didn't feel it. He ended up with six episodes on mtv. Like, it was like a Jackass show. So you don't know, let us Be the judge of what your talent is. And we see anybody NEA from anywhere, just show up. And if you can't show up, go to AGT auditions.com. this is our 20th anniversary show. It's a stellar show. Also, people should show up to go to howiemandel.com and see where I'm playing live or listen to my. I have a podcast, too, called Howie Mandel does stuff. I do that with my daughter. Chris Hansen's on this week.
Bobby Bones
Dude, I saw. He blew me away. I watch him on TikTok, and the guy on TikTok, he went to his house recently and he called the cops on Chris Hansen. Dude, that story. Did you talk about that?
Amy
I don't want to get.
Bobby Bones
Okay, all right, all right, all right. Yeah, yeah. He's still, like, going knocking on doors.
Amy
He is. And. And the thing is, you know, he used to do To Catch a Predator, and now he does this thing called Takedown on. On his own True Blue. And it's. It's. He has some stories, some crazy stories.
Bobby Bones
Does stuff with Howie Mandel. It's a great podcast. The. Also, whenever the Dana White experience that happened on the podcast, was that a work?
Amy
That was an experience. He walked off. I still don't understand why he walked off. The good news is a lot of people know that and still talk about it and download it and you can go see the episode. But I don't know why.
Bobby Bones
But that was real.
Amy
I called him. Yes, it's real.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't Jerry Lawler, Andy Kaufman. Because it felt so good that I was like, this is so. I'm so enthralled with this. I don't know what to believe.
Amy
And that's what I thought. I thought he was with me. So I continued. There was another guest there. There was a Comic Con. I continued talking, thinking, he's with me. He's gonna walk back in. And he didn't. I don't.
Bobby Bones
He didn't.
Amy
So I. I have the ability. If you want to just watch a podcast where I have the ability to Somebody off. I guess I do, you know, But I. I know I'm annoying. I know I can be annoying. And that's. I get that from that person at the club that says, get the off the stage and.
Bobby Bones
And flip your camera. And when he muted himself to say flip his. He can't flip his camera because he's an idiot. But I was like, do not talk.
Amy
But you know what I like about this? It makes me look thinner. I like this. You can see me in horizontal People who are watching now and not just listen. You know, my phone is the wrong way, and I've got these two bars. I need it. But doesn't it. It's slenderizing, isn't it?
Bobby Bones
Not really. I mean, you look good. You just look good. You don't need to be slenderized when you look good. I got two final questions. Look, I got two final questions.
Amy
Why are they okay? You know, it's weird. I have four. I'm looking at the list. I have four answers.
Bobby Bones
Great.
Amy
So hopefully fit.
Bobby Bones
Give me two answers per question, then. So mathematically, we're ready to go. Number one is what it feels like when you're a part of a pop culture phenomenon. It's happened many times in your career, but Deal or no Deal, that thing turned into. For somebody who's 45 or below, that thing was a pop culture sensation. What does that feel like, that wave?
Amy
That's probably the most exciting, surprising, weirdest time in my life. So up until Deal or no Deal, I had such a segregated audience. You know, like, we talked about Bobby's World, but people who watched Bobby's World, little moms with their kids, they kind of knew me as I played the dad. They weren't even sure I was the voice, you know? So I had that Saturday morning cartoon people. I did a show earlier than that. I did a drama called St. Elsewhere, which was a hospital show. That's where Denzel Washington came out of. I had that audience. But the people that watched St. Elsewhere didn't watch Saturday Morning. So that was a different audience. I did a ton of cable standup specials like the Glove. You talked about my comedy audience didn't even the letters. This is how long ago I was doing. It was letters before email that I would get, would go. I have a bet with my husband that Dr. Fiskus, which was my character name, is not the same guy that blows the rubber glove up on his head in comedy. So they didn't know. Deal or no Deal was the first thing that brought all these audiences together. It was the biggest thing that ever happened to me. It relaunched my career. I was thinking of leaving and retiring right before Deal or no Deal started. I got offered it. It's the first thing that I said no to. And that's why I'm a proponent of saying yes when I talk about auditioning for AGT. I didn't want to in 2005. It was actually 2004 when it was offered to me. I didn't want to do a game show. I didn't. I Didn't think it was. I thought it would be the nail in the coffin of my career as a comedian. And comedians weren't doing game shows at the time. It's kind of like movie star stars didn't want to do commercials and now every movie star is the spokesperson for something. So I didn't want to do a game show. My wife told me, I'm an idiot, take the deal. I did. I went there. Didn't really understand what it was going to be because there was no skill. I had no trivia questions to ask. It was just an hour of saying open the case and yelling out the numbers that were in the case. And I didn't know that if it was good, it, it blew up. Surprised me more than anybody. It was so exciting, it was so amazing. And it's become, you know, nobody's more thrilled that I got to be a part of it. And you know, I don't think I was the first choice. In fact, I know I wasn't the first choice. When I finally said yes, they kept saying, we can't do it without you. We need you, we need you. And I go, great, I'll finally, I'll do it. This was on a Friday. I go, when does it start? They said Monday. I go, well, don't you have to build a set? They go, we have a set. I go, well, don't you have to hire models? We have all the models. Like how far down the list? How many people said no before I on Friday at 4 o'clock told them they had a host for a Monday 10 o'clock shoot.
Bobby Bones
But you said yes. And that's the key to show up. Say yes and show up. Final question. I got the deal. I'm gonna indulge me a bit here. So again, been a big fan of your standup for a long time and you talk about special. I just, I'm not a traditional stand up, but I toured the last couple years doing theaters, doing stand up on my special. Got bought by a TV network and they're show it in a couple weeks. Haven't been able to really announce anything yet, but I hate it now.
Amy
Why, why did you not, why won't you announce it?
Bobby Bones
Well, I can't. They, they, it's a, they want to wait till their time to announce it. I'm just being the good soldier.
Amy
Are you located in la?
Bobby Bones
I'm in Nashville. Nashville.
Amy
Are you going to be in LA soon?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Do you want me to come to la?
Amy
I mean, yeah, I want you to come do my podcast. I want you to promote your Stand up special. You didn't like it.
Bobby Bones
You're saying what you did, but I'm saying, like, now that I watch it back, I'm like, oh, man, I kind of suck. Do you ever watch back stuff and go, man, I don't. I don't know. Do you have imposter syndrome at all? Did you ever struggle with that or, like, watching yourself back, thinking you're not that funny?
Amy
I can't stand myself.
Bobby Bones
Okay, good. Thank God.
Amy
So that's it. I don't. I don't even want to look in the mirror to. To shave.
Bobby Bones
Like, I hate it. I watch it, and I think it's pretty good, but I can't.
Amy
But first of all, I want to say. I'll answer that question in a second. First of all, congratulations, Bobby. That's. That's amazing. And people don't know that. You know how. And. And how many people are out there just trying it and to achieve the. The ability to have somebody even pay for it and wanna put it on and promote it and to have it so important that you can't talk about it until they talk about it even makes it more. That's when you're doing something. That's when you know you're doing something. You know when you're doing something when you can't talk about what you're doing?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I was doing anything. It's not me. I would like to talk about it because I want to beg people to watch it, but then again at the same time, like. But do I want them to watch it? Because, like, I watch it and I kind of cringe at myself.
Amy
Why aren't you allowed to mention it now, Bobby?
Bobby Bones
Because I think we're trying. We have a date. But I think they think, tentatively, they may move it a night. Like a 10% chance. They may have to move it a single night.
Amy
But I'm not saying. I'm not saying that. You have to say, like, on, you know, April 12, you don't have to say that. Yeah, people don't remember that anyway, but they go, buffy Bones has a comedy special coming out on, you know, Amazon or on YouTube or wherever. They. At least they just keep. And if nothing else, they remember to keep going to that platform. Platform and. And waiting for a promo. I think that's stupid marketing. If I had a. If I knew where the mute button is on this, I would look at somebody else in the room and go, this is stupid. That was enough.
Bobby Bones
I feel that. All right. So good. I'm glad to know that you also hate yourself at times.
Amy
But I'll. You know, every one of us in this business has that. The reason is if we are willing to talk and stand up and show up in front of strangers. We need the love and the acceptance of people we don't even know because we can't give it to ourselves.
Bobby Bones

On the show. Last week we debuted Bad Story, Good Story about Eddie. And the story was the bad one was Eddie made his wife drive when she was in labor, and he rode in the passenger seat because it was.
Eddie
The fourth time that we'd gone to the hospital.
Bobby Bones
But still, dude. And then he made her stop to get him an Egg mcmuffin as she was in labor while she was driving.
Eddie
We hadn't eaten breakfast.
Bobby Bones
Okay. But it does. So that was a story. We meant to get to a good story. We didn't. We're still not yet.

It did. It jogged my memory about when my Wife was giving birth to our second child. We're at the hospital, and Eddie and Ray were nice enough to bring us some lunch. And we eat the Chick fil A. And he goes in, and we're walking back into the room, and this lady goes, oh, my goodness. The baby's coming. The baby's coming. It is time to push. And Eddie looks at this lady and goes, where's the doctor? She goes, I am the doctor.
Bobby Bones
Oh, dang. So what are you saying?
Morgan
That he's sexist? He had no idea that a woman could be a doctor.
Lunchbox
He's like, why wouldn't she be the doctor?
Bobby Bones
No idea.
Eddie
What color of jacket does a doctor wear?
Bobby Bones
A man or woman usually. Doesn't matter.
Eddie
Woman. What color of white jacket? It's a white one. She was wearing a blue one like all the other nurses. How was I supposed to know she was the doctor?
Morgan
I mean, she was running around telling everybody, get in their position. Get ready. And then Eddie goes, well, where's the doctor?
Eddie
Yeah, I was in panic mode. You know, we're having a baby. Where's the doctor? She said, I am the doctor. I'm like, right, I'll get out of here.
Bobby Bones
That's a tough one to hear.
Eddie
But you understand, though, me and Ray took them lunch because.
Bobby Bones
And that's the good story.
Morgan
That's the good story.
Bobby Bones
There you go.
Morgan
But then he'd look at that lady and, I mean, just straighten. Her face goes, well, where's the doctor?
Amy
Oh, boy.
Lunchbox
And then. So did you say. Oh, sorry, Normally doctors wear white?
Eddie
No, no, I didn't say all that. I said, I'm sorry about that.
Bobby Bones
You did the room. I'm sorry.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, of course. And I left.
Bobby Bones
Did you know. And this is something maybe you don't know. So apologies if you did said. Did you know the woman can be doctors?
Eddie
Yes, I knew that she was not wearing doctor attire.
Bobby Bones
Making sure. Making sure. And that's another edition of Bad Story, Good Story.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Your good story kind of sucked because it was heavily overshadowed.
Eddie
Was that the good story?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it is. You brought him lunch.
Lunchbox
A good one from the other day.
Eddie
Yeah, you had.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, wait. Looks like we're out of time. It's time for the Good News with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.
