Bobby Bones
Here we go.
Voiceover Announcer
Come on, Bobby.
Lunchbox
Transmitting across America.
Producer Eddie
Turn it up.
Voiceover Announcer
This is a Bobby, let's go. Hey, welcome.
Bobby Bones
We're back. Morning, studio.
Amy
Morning.
Bobby Bones
My smelling salts here, I want.
Voiceover Announcer
These have been here since before the break.
Amy
Wake up.
Bobby Bones
Ah, they're kind of dead, though, now. Oh, not totally, but yeah, they're so ammonia smelling.
Morgan
That's the point, though, right?
Bobby Bones
But it's so ammonia that my grandma and I used to clean apartments, houses and condos when I was young, like 13 to after up until high school. So I'd go over her. And that's what we do. We clean these apartments nearby or these little rental places, these condos called Cozy Acres. And we use so much ammonia because people are disgusting when they stay in a hotel or a condo. Like, they don't care. They're, like, pooping the floor. They really don't. But people just don't care. It's like a rental car. People just don't care.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so we use so much ammonia all the time on everything. And that ammonia is in all kinds of stuff. Mr. Clean. Any of that chemical stuff that you. When I smell this, I think part of the reason I'm so, like, not just, like, blown away by it, but, like, that gives me a negative feeling is all the freaking gross cleaning we had to Do. And I think I just had that breakthrough right now.
Amy
You're saying ammonia, right? Not pneumonia.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's pinna pneumonia. Pineumonia disease. Or like a. Like a respiratory illness that comes from something else.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, like it's.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but this is ammonia. That is that cleaning smell. Like you're custodian at high school. Probably smelled like that. But, yeah, now that's where that is. Glad everybody's here. Amy, you good?
Morgan
Yeah, doing great.
Bobby Bones
I saw Amy and Eddie last night at my. At my wife's birthday party. So whenever we got here and we had seen each other in weeks, it wasn't like, what up? Oh, good to see you.
Amy
Saw you 24 hours.
Bobby Bones
Matter of fact, Eddie and I looked at you, and we're like, oh, same clothes as last night. Yeah. Amy wore different clothes.
Morgan
Yes, I did.
Bobby Bones
Look at you.
Amy
Shocking.
Bobby Bones
So. And then I should apologize to Morgan. I hastily was. And I'll say this without saying it, so nobody comment on this. This thing I'm saying, whenever I get on Instagram and I put a hey. Because I get so many DMs asking me all kinds of bull crap that I'm like, hey, once every week and a half or so, I'll just go ask it. That way, they can put it in a little question, and I'll just answer questions on Instagram. There's a question. I get a lot that HR has told me I cannot talk about on the show, at least now, about the staffing of this show. It has nothing to do with the prediction that somebody's leaving, but there's something that happened on this show, and then I had nothing to do with the effects of it. But all the same, people aren't here. Fair. Does everybody know where I'm going? Is that what I'm saying?
Amy
I think so.
Morgan
Yeah.
Producer Eddie
I think I got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And this first question is, what happened with this? And I can't answer, because HR was like, you cannot talk about that right now. Don't know why. I had nothing to do with it other than the segment. I just should stop talking so quickly in order to read between the lines. I was like, well, see you when the show comes back. And I just listed everybody, and the first one I put up, I forgot, like, three people, and then I didn't. And I had Morgan on the first one, but then I had Morgan on the second one, and everybody's like, morgan's gone. And Morgan was like, am I gone? Because she saw it too. Morgan's not gone. That was. That message was kind of like, A read between the lines. Like, I would love to talk about it, but I can't. But I left Morgan off and they went back and fixed it. But Morgan's here.
Morgan
Okay. I guess I saw the one where Morgan was on there, so I didn't know.
Bobby Bones
It's brief, but Morgan. Morgan saw the bat signal, thought she was gone.
Voiceover Announcer
I thought I'd been eliminated without you knowing.
Morgan
Terrible way to find out.
Bobby Bones
But that's why I post an Instagram Q and A. Well, I posted like, we can't wait to be back. And elicit every single person that works here on the show. But I didn't have Morgan up there. And then people thought it was Morgan.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, I got a flood of messages.
Producer Eddie
Of people like, Morgan's, are you leaving the show?
Voiceover Announcer
And I was like, no, no, no.
Bobby Bones
The first one I put up had you in it. And then I put up a new one because I had forgot other people and then I forgot you in that one. Whatever. There's that. I wanted to address that. But we're back. I'm happy to be back. You know, I like work. I don't like the morning part of it. I hate the morning part of it. Like, I hate it. So that's all.
Amy
You can't use, like another two weeks, Two weeks off?
Producer Eddie
Oh, I could.
Amy
I could too.
Morgan
I was getting tired of it.
Bobby Bones
What I could use is another two weeks of not waking up early at starting the show at like noon, and then just putting it on the next day. That is what I would do. Because, dude, I have so many notes of things I wanted to talk about during the break. All I was doing was like, oh, this would be fun. I'm conditioned to just write notes down for things that I think will be good topics and stuff. But no, I was ready to come back. I just was not ready to wake up. But it's also like first day of school where, like, I have a lot of energy. Today it's first day, tomorrow I'll be like, Then I got to work myself back into my normal pattern. But my sleep schedule, Amy, is like, after about four or five days, I was going to bed at 3am and waking up to me, 11 or noon. Yeah, like, that's my natural sleep schedule. And so I'm only doing this for the people. Your whole life, dude, I've been doing mornings 22 or 23. I mean, over 20 years of waking up at this God awful time. I'm almost done.
Morgan
What does that mean?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I don't even know what it means. But I'm almost done.
Morgan
Check Instagram once, you know, like, let us know. Right?
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, I'll let you know by listing.
Bobby Bones
Out people that I won't see at work tomorrow. Yeah, we're here. Ready to go. Thank you, guys. We have a lot to talk about, but let's get going now. Good morning. And we're back.
Voiceover Announcer
All right, here's a voicemail. Go ahead.
Caller
I'm a fairly new listener, maybe within, like, the last year or so, and I was just curious to see if you guys were able to share just, like, some backstories on your radio, names and how each of you guys met before coming onto the show. I was also curious to see, like, what your educational background was, if you're willing to share that. And the last thing is. Thank you guys for the advice. I was the one who called in about getting out of the work conversations when you're kind of sitting there for, like, 30, 45 minutes and you can't find a way to escape it. But anyways, love the show, guys.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, yeah, I remember that. I like that one because I was like, yeah. You say to anybody, oh, yeah, I'd love to talk to you. I gotta have 10 minutes. Yeah, what's up? Because then they're. They never feel rushed. And you establish quickly what your boundary is. It's like when I talk on the phone, I do that. I hate talking on the phone almost more than I hate opening a trash bag. The liner, that sucks. But the phone, I. It doesn't matter who it is. I hate talking on the phone. I appreciate that. So thank you for listening. Backstories. My real last name is not Bones. It was forced upon me when I was 17 years old. And they said, your name can be Bones or Bobby Z. And I was like, they both are terrible. But I went with Bones. Amy's real name.
Morgan
Yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
Amy Lunchbox has got eight different stories.
Bobby Bones
How he got his name.
Voiceover Announcer
You quickly give him one of them.
Producer Eddie
In third grade, I wanted a Superman lunchbox from Walmart, and my mom wouldn't let me get it. So I tried to shoplift it by sticking it under my shirt. And as we were walking out of the store, my mom said, is there something under your shirt? And I said, no. And she said, are you sure? And I said, yes. And she went, knock, knock, knock. And I had to go give it back to the manager. And they made fun of me since I was in third grade.
Amy
It was a lunchbox.
Morgan
Yep. An actual lunchbox.
Voiceover Announcer
That's a good one. Eddie's real name.
Amy
That's my name, Eddie.
Voiceover Announcer
Education, backgrounds. Let's see, Amy. We all have different ones because I have a. I have a bachelor's degree. I have a doctorate, too, by the way. I forgot about that University of Arkansas honorary doctorate. But I don't. I don't really need to go to college to do what we do, but I did. I was the first person to graduate high school in my family. And college. That was important to me. Graduated college while doing radio, and that was it. And we all thought Amy had, too. And then one day, she hit us with the revelation that she had not been telling the truth.
Morgan
I came on air saying that I was three credits short, but I shared with you that I had just signed up for the class, and I completed it, and I finally got my diploma, because I did walk the stage, and it appeared as though I had graduated class of 03 from Texas a and M. And. And that's what my Aggie ring says, all the things. But my diploma, if you look closely, it says 2008.
Voiceover Announcer
We'll take it.
Morgan
Because that's when I got it. Real went. Because when I walked across the stage, they handed me an empty tube.
Voiceover Announcer
And Lunchbox, by the way, is very similar to Amy's story, but he's three credits short and just like, screw it.
Morgan
Yeah, but why did they let us walk? You know, like.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, because you're supposed to finish that summer.
Producer Eddie
That summer.
Morgan
Well, I was already taking it. I was in progress, and I just was like, yeah, I'm done.
Voiceover Announcer
We all met in Austin, Texas. I was doing a night show that was doing mornings by myself and then just started. I didn't have any money to hire anybody, so I just basically grabbed people that would kind of work for free because I basically was. And Lunchbox basically was. Met him at a bar, and he didn't have a microphone the first, like, six months of the show. And he was also working at Sam's Club at the same time. So.
Amy
Is that why he yells so much? He didn't have a microphone.
Voiceover Announcer
He just has to yell across the room. Amy was working. I had a rock sell it. Oh, I don't know.
Morgan
Natural stone importer. Yeah. There's granite, marble, travertine, Metari.
Voiceover Announcer
Culver's. Eddie was my local TV producer. I know, man. Mike D was an intern who I met on MySpace. MySpace.
Amy
Crazy.
Voiceover Announcer
And he was like, can I intern? And I was like, yeah, I guess. I don't know what that is. And he. Ray was an intern. We've been together for 100 years.
Amy
I love you guys.
Voiceover Announcer
I Know, a long time.
Morgan
Yeah. You and Lunchbox the longest. I think y'all are like 20 something. We're at 18 and a half, maybe.
Voiceover Announcer
Dang. We can vote.
Morgan
Yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
Lunchbox and I can.
Producer Eddie
We can drink alcohol.
Voiceover Announcer
We can drink alcohol. Amy and I can vote.
Morgan
Yep.
Voiceover Announcer
So, yeah, that's the story. We weren't put together by the corporation. A lot of times, you know, we weren't like that. We were like the ugly kid they were, but I don't know, we didn't sound like anybody else. They wanted to sound like a real show with big, deep voices. We never had the deep voices. We never were. But now here we are.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Voiceover Announcer
That's the story.
Amy
Kind of cool to hear the whole thing.
Voiceover Announcer
That's. I mean, that's like the super fast version. But we. Yeah, the company did not put us together, and I think they held that against us for a long time. Not the same people at the company now, but we weren't like a product of the company. We were just a bunch of people that we had no money. So we bunch of friends just got together, and slowly we're in one city and then four, because I bought some cheap equipment. And then next thing you know, bam, here we are. Bam.
Morgan
Oh, and I. I think it's interesting, too, that we started out pop, like pop music. And then now we've been country. And I love the switch so much. I mean, and that was something really random that happened that we were not expecting. I feel like Bobby secretly left town. You didn't even know where you're going. And then all of a sudden, we get a phone call, and you're like, Nashville?
Voiceover Announcer
Kinda. Yeah, kinda.
Morgan
Yeah. Yeah, he left town.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, that's the movie version. I was. Whenever I was doing pop, I was always, hey, you're too country to do pop. And then I got to country, like you're too pop to do country. I never, never kind of fit in anywhere but that showbiz baby. But, yeah, that's our quick version of the story. I appreciate you asking about that. Then Morgan was born.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
Baby just came into our life.
Amy
Somebody dropped her off at the front door.
Voiceover Announcer
I know, I know. Yeah, thanks for asking that, Bones.
Producer Eddie
It's the anonymous inbox.
Voiceover Announcer
Well, we're gonna get into one here new Year, so this is a big one. Hello, Bobby. Bones. My holiday break was spent dealing with a lot of stress, wondering if my husband is cheating on me. A week before Christmas, I was grabbing extra wrapping paper from the garage and stumbled upon my husband's hiding Stash of gifts, a couple of electronics, a box of shoes, clothes. But what stood out was a jewelry box. I obviously didn't say anything because I didn't want to ruin the surprise. But to my surprise, I unwrapped all the gifts. I saw everything except the jewelry box. I haven't said anything to my husband. But now I've been questioning the last few months and wonder if I've been blind to red flags of him working extra hours, being exhausted all the time. I thought it was all him just being tired from the crazy end of the year time, but is it possible he's just been keeping secrets from me? How do you think I should approach this? Signed red flag, missing wife. So there are a lot of directions. We will go here first. I will say this. That sucks. I'm sorry that happened. But if that's the only red flag ish thing that you've noticed so far, then you're probably okay. I think humans and you guys, with your intuition, you kind of see a few things, and, you know, like, your. Your gut lets you know if that's the only thing I'm gonna lead toward just figuring out where that jewelry went before I'm gonna go, he's for sure cheating. So if there are other red flags you skipped over now that you look back and you go, oh, know the exhausted and work thing. I don't know that that's really.
Amy
They say that that's.
Voiceover Announcer
I know, but I've been exhausted. But during Christmas, I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted all the time. So. Because that is common with this time. So I. I hear you. That could be a flag. Amy, I will go to you first.
Morgan
Yeah. Are there any other people that the ring could have gone to? Is there a sister, mom, or the jewelry? I guess I just say jewelry.
Voiceover Announcer
I don't know. It's a ring.
Morgan
I know. I don't know either. But is there anybody else that would fit that. That he was shopping for? I. I would have to ask, though. I mean, that's the. That's the next best thing you can do is say, hey, I came across this piece of jewelry, and now I'm very curious where it is. So let's talk about it.
Voiceover Announcer
I think the fact that this is such a fundamental part of your life, you don't dilly dally with it. You just have to go, hey, look, I found all the gifts beforehand. I don't say anything because I want to ruin Christmas. There was a jewelry box, and I don't. I don't know what that was for. And now I'm feeling kind of weird about it. Just say that. Don't again. I'm big on not putting people on their heels with accusations and making it feel defensive because they will react in ways that aren't even honest to themselves. If people are reacting, you say, I, I'm just whatever, whatever the question, I.
Bobby Bones
Saw that and I'm just curious like what even was that?
Voiceover Announcer
If he then starts to be defensive, you know something's up, you don't want to make him defensive. But if he then is defensive, when you're not making him defensive, big old fat red flag swinging in your face. But you have to ask. I wouldn't even monitor for other red flags because this is going to bother you so much, it's going to affect your day to day, it's going to affect your relationship with him, the kids, every, every minute, every second. So I would find a time, I would not approach him aggressively. I would bring it up in a comfortable setting when nobody else is around and be like, hey, I got to miss something. Even almost like you're like confessing to something because all you do because you were peeking. All you're doing is putting him in a situation to answer in a non reactive tone so he's not feeling defensive. And see if he gets defensive, you.
Morgan
Can even say too, I've, I'm, I'm trying to assume the best here.
Voiceover Announcer
But first say, look, I gotta admit something. I don't like this about myself, but I was snooping and I saw the gifts.
Amy
That's good.
Voiceover Announcer
That's on me. So. So I loved everything you got me. I shouldn't have done it. I didn't want to run the surprise. But what was in there? I did see like a jewelry box. What was it? What was that for? Just like that. And then watch them. And if it's easy and it's like, oh yeah, that was for. I was holding my buddy at work, John, his wife. So she didn't see it. And if he answers so calmly and is very collected, you got nothing to worry about really. You'll be able to judge on boom, right? Exactly how his face does, right? Then if he gets defensive, something's up. But you can't make him defensive with how you ask the question.
Amy
You're having too much fun with this.
Voiceover Announcer
Well, that's how it's important to her, not to make him defensive with the question.
Morgan
But you got to be a buffalo.
Amy
Okay, what does that mean?
Morgan
Buffaloes go into the storm, so they get through it faster. Cows Turn away from the storm, thinking they're avoiding it, but the storm catches up to them and then they're in the storm longer. This is one of those things. If you sit on it, you're going to in your own agony for months, speculating. And there could be an easy answer or you could get through the hard stuff faster. Be the buffalo.
Voiceover Announcer
Don't go into the storm. Don't make a storm, though.
Morgan
No, no, no, no.
Voiceover Announcer
The storm can happen after you find a chill.
Morgan
This is an analogy.
Voiceover Announcer
No, I hear you, but don't make a storm. Make it the most pleasure. Make it a beach vacation. When you have the conversation, then you.
Morgan
Can be a sweet buffalo.
Voiceover Announcer
Yes. Just. It's all chill. Bring it up. Chill admitted you shouldn't have snooped. And watch his reaction when you don't make him defensive. If he's defensive, red flag.
Bobby Bones
That's.
Voiceover Announcer
That's fun to figure out.
Amy
Hopefully he's not.
Voiceover Announcer
I think we just. I. I bet he's not.
Amy
I would think he's not.
Voiceover Announcer
I bet he's not. Okay, thank you. That's the mailbag. Close it up.
Bobby Bones

It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something.
Producer Eddie
Danny Moreno of Central Point, Oregon's at the movie theaters with his family watching Moana 2. When all of a sudden in the middle of theater, someone goes, help, help. My daughter's not breathing. This six year old girl has a heart condition and she wasn't breathing. And he's like, I'm a retired fire captain, I know what to do. Gets down there. Cpr. Till the paramedics arrived. Lucky for them, girls out of the hospital later that night.
Morgan
Nice.
Voiceover Announcer
That's good. I was also wondering how long he'd do Hoo hoo, hoo hoo hoo. And a little bit of me was hoping he would just keep going to test this.
Producer Eddie
No, no, no. I could feel that people get annoyed with hoo hoo hoo for a whole minute.
Voiceover Announcer
Boy, wait for that. Let the dogs out. I was waiting for that too. No, it's awesome though. Like guy jumped into action.
Amy
Did they stop the movie?
Voiceover Announcer
Probably. No, it depends how probably eventually at first, no, cuz you don't really know what's going on. But then probably as it got into Dude, I saw on TikTok. Yeah, right, probably. Or just give their money back. I saw on TikTok, these guys were watching. They paid to go to movie theater and watch like Elf or something. They were showing it and they were showing it on. On the Apple tv. And they didn't mean to show it, but on the screen was the person going through the Apple TV to put it up on the theater screen.
Amy
That's funny.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, hilarious. I mean, what's the difference really? But still, it was funny that that was shown.
Producer Eddie
Yeah, but isn't it cool that it was a movie theater? Movie theaters are good for something, man. If he wouldn't have been there, if he would have said, I'm just going to watch it on my TV at home, he wouldn't have saved a life.
Voiceover Announcer
You're really stretching there, but I like it. Okay, there we go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. All right, Lunchbox wanted to get to the bottom of something. We love this. He's investigating Eddie said he wanted to give a kidney and then couldn't. They wanted to give bone marrow and then you couldn't cuz you're too old.
Amy
I did the research. Couldn't do it cuz I'm over 40.
Voiceover Announcer
Lunchbox win after this.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Voiceover Announcer
So he made some calls. So here is the voicemail. First of all, that started the whole thing. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Hi, Bobbi and crew. I'm calling on behalf of nmdp. We run the most diverse blood stem cell and bone marrow registry in the world. And we heard all of you guys talking about Eddie's contract. We are happy to answer all and every one of your questions. I'm happy to connect and chat through some stuff.
Voiceover Announcer
So Eddie said on the air his sister's a nurse, which is true. She said, you're too old.
Amy
Yeah. We got online, went to a registry, and it said, you're too old. When I put my birthday in there.
Voiceover Announcer
And the investigator reporter that he is mostly just wants to stir, you know, he made a call. Who to? Lunchbox.
Producer Eddie
I called that lady back because I was like, she works for the most diverse registry in the whole world. Like, she'll know the answer.
Voiceover Announcer
Mexican?
Morgan
No, because of his age.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, got it. I know. She's like a diverse.
Producer Eddie
That's what she said on the call. Eddie just went to his sister who's like a nurse at like a doctor's.
Amy
Office at a hospital, and I'm like.
Producer Eddie
She doesn't deal with bone marrow. She doesn't. No idea. Eddie. Just trying to get out of it.
Voiceover Announcer
Here's the registry.
Producer Eddie
All right, we have Rosa on the phone. Rosa, tell me your credentials when it comes to bone marrow.
Lunchbox
I was calling on behalf of nmdp. They do bone marrow and cell transplants through their registry.
Producer Eddie
Eddie is 45 years old. Does that exclude him from signing up and being a bone marrow donor?
Lunchbox
It does. Yes. Yeah. You have to be between the ages of 18 to 40.
Producer Eddie
Oh, no, because, like, I'm so. No, no, hold on, hold on. I'm so sad because we thought, you know, he. He went to his sister and was like, oh, hey. And she's just like a nurse. Like, she's not like. And she said, yeah, you're too old. So he just took that as the gospel. And I was like, eddie, you didn't even call a bone marrow place. And so what you're telling me is that Eddie is ineligible and he was telling the truth.
Lunchbox
He was telling the truth. He. He was right. I know. I hate to tell you, we.
Producer Eddie
So what you're telling me is, do you consider Eddie a GE patient now?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. We could call it. We could call him that politely.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah.
Lunchbox
We could say, yeah.
Producer Eddie
And, you know, I. I'm just so sad to hear that Eddie's ineligible because I also really wanted to donate bone marrow, but, man, I'm too old, too, so. Crap. I can't do it either, man. I was going to save lives, man, just like Eddie. But Eddie's geriatric. Just remember that when you go to work today.
Voiceover Announcer
Well, you are, too. But second of all, correct. Eddie sister's a nurse.
Morgan
I don't know why I should be like that.
Voiceover Announcer
Only nurse of a nurse, doctor. And thirdly, I could. We all were disappointed whenever she said you were told.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, I knew she was going to say that because I did my research, but I don't know what this whole call was about.
Voiceover Announcer
For her to say you're not too old and still to do it. So I think, though, she'd still find something. And I don't know what it is.
Morgan
To donate from your body. Yes.
Voiceover Announcer
You know.
Morgan
Yes.
Voiceover Announcer
I think it has to be something substantial.
Morgan
Yeah. Like platelets.
Amy
I got an idea. No, I can't do that. I can't do that.
Voiceover Announcer
I would say, okay, this is what I'm going to say in 2025, at some point, almost a new contract. Webham sign.
Amy
Okay.
Voiceover Announcer
That you find something to donate that is meaningful and substantial. I don't mean money. I don't know what it is. It could be an X amount of time at a certain. Oh, I just think you owe the earth something from all of your proclamations that you're this guy that wants to give.
Amy
Yeah.
Producer Eddie
Yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
So if I present you with a new contract later on this week and you have the whole year can we commit to that?
Amy
Yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Amy
I'll donate something. Well, no, but it has to be something of subs. What would you say? Of substantial.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, it has to be something that's going to change your life.
Morgan
Okay, well, I have what you can donate while you're alive.
Voiceover Announcer
Well, we're not gonna kill them, so.
Morgan
Well, exactly. So we know. A kidney, a portion of your liver.
Voiceover Announcer
I don't think it has to go in the body.
Morgan
You could donate skin.
Voiceover Announcer
We're just gonna find the sweater. Think about this. Okay. Some time to think about this. And then we have the whole year to figure it out.
Amy
Okay, I'm in. I like it.
Voiceover Announcer
Because you've backed out of, like, nine things. Amy's want to kill you. I don't know if you've heard this, but she's ready to have you put down. She.
Amy
She likes to donate.
Voiceover Announcer
The brain, the heart. Yes. Okay. This week, we'll have a contract. Okay. New Year, we're going to do it. We have the top New year's resolutions of 2025. We asked 2000 Bobby Bone show listeners. We rolled the dice. Amy, you're first. It's the bobby feud. Top 10 answers are on the board. Amy, new year's resolution for 2025.
Morgan
Save money.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me save money.
Morgan
What looks like literally the number one.
Voiceover Announcer
I would think literally is not the number one. I'm looking at it. Yellow card for questioning the panel of the year. Wow. First yellow card of the year. She's even hot all day. She's been on something all day. Okay, we like it. We like it.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Voiceover Announcer
Yellow card lunchbox.
Producer Eddie
Okay, Lose weight.
Voiceover Announcer
Hit that. Ding. Number one answer.
Producer Eddie
Oh, number one.
Voiceover Announcer
You got one point. But, hey, you're on board. You're man of the people.
Producer Eddie
Let's go pay off debt.
Voiceover Announcer
Pay off debt.
Producer Eddie
Save money is not paying off debt.
Voiceover Announcer
Treading on thin ice over there.
Producer Eddie
Yeah, Two different things.
Voiceover Announcer
Hey, because you already have a yellow card, and two yellow cards equals one red, and then one red keeps you out of the next game in this one.
Morgan
Wow.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Voiceover Announcer
I don't even watch soccer. I don't know how we started doing soccer rules, but anyway, Eddie, people always.
Amy
Come in with those big water jugs, so I'm gonna go with drink more water.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, that's a good one. Drink more water. Let's go. What's funny is, I'm looking at them. They all make perfect sense. But those are also good ones. So I'd like for you guys to know. Great job.
Amy
Thank you.
Voiceover Announcer
Dude. I'm trying to calm her down. She's been on one all day. What is.
Morgan
What does that mean, been on one?
Voiceover Announcer
You've been like fiery. Like, we like it. We like it normal. Okay, go see and normal. She. See how she under breath me? All right, go ahead. Here we go.
Morgan
Work out more.
Voiceover Announcer
So work out more exercise.
Bobby Bones
Okay, got you one there.
Morgan
Okay, eat.
Voiceover Announcer
Do you want to know which one that was?
Morgan
Sure.
Voiceover Announcer
So do I. Hey, Ray, which one was that one? I did it for lose weight, but it had already been called. Oh, so no, she got it wrong.
Morgan
Yes, but you can want to work out more and not lose weight.
Voiceover Announcer
It's not on there. That's why I asked Ray why where it was on the list and so he's okay.
Morgan
What kind of resolutions do we have?
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, guys, I'm getting. I'm about to. Yes. We're so close to a second. Yellow card or red?
Amy
That's a red card.
Voiceover Announcer
Which is a red card.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Amy
Oh, my goodness.
Voiceover Announcer
I know. Lunchbox.
Producer Eddie
Eat healthier.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me eat healthier. Wow.
Amy
All right, this is crazy.
Voiceover Announcer
It is crazy because all these again make perfect sense, but yours are awesome too.
Producer Eddie
I'm so confused.
Voiceover Announcer
I think maybe you guys are a little too 10 years ago.
Amy
Oh, it's different.
Voiceover Announcer
I'm just saying you can't give him a hit.
Amy
I have not added to my list.
Morgan
Well, I did based on that.
Producer Eddie
I did too.
Voiceover Announcer
Eddie.
Amy
Less social media.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me less social media.
Morgan
That's literally what I wrote down.
Voiceover Announcer
Number six. Cut down screen time. Number six.
Morgan
I thought you said you didn't add.
Amy
I was just joking.
Producer Eddie
You're a liar.
Voiceover Announcer
That all allow, Amy. That's a pretty good cutter. We like that one. Okay, go ahead.
Amy
I mean, this is not so new, but could be old School.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, 12 points there.
Amy
That's good.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, let's go.
Amy
Read more.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me read more. That's the number eight answer.
Producer Eddie
Wow, that tip helped you a lot, didn't it?
Amy
No. And the read more was already on the list. What about find a new job.
Voiceover Announcer
Find a new job. What?
Producer Eddie
That's crazy.
Voiceover Announcer
That's worth three. That's worth six points every three answer.
Amy
I'm on a heater.
Voiceover Announcer
He's on a heater. I'm on a heater. The heat coming out Amy's ears too. Right now. I'm looking at her. She's. She's controlling herself, though. I can. I can respect it. Eddie has 34 points right now. Let's go through them. 2000 by bunch of listeners were asked resolutions for 2025. Number one, lose weight. Number three, get a new job. Number six, cut down screen time. Number eight, read more.

Morgan
Okay. Meditate.
Producer Eddie

Voiceover Announcer

Morgan
Okay, thank you very much.
Voiceover Announcer
Meditate or reduce stress.
Morgan
At number 10. That's what I'm talking about.
Peter Tilden
Oh, no.
Amy
She got 30 points there.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, she's now in the lead.
Peter Tilden
Oh my goodness.
Voiceover Announcer
I don't know. All I heard was. Yeah, all I was the uck.
Morgan
Okay, more family friend. Quality time.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me more quality time. Incorrect. But Amy now is in the lead on round three with 36 points. Lunchbox, I'm counting yours up. You have one point.
Producer Eddie
Yeah, it was unfortunate I didn't get the hint about.
Voiceover Announcer
Wasn't really meant as a hint. I just kind of yelled it.
Producer Eddie
Just the timing of the hint was suspicious.
Voiceover Announcer
But hey, hey, New year yellow card.
Producer Eddie
What?
Morgan
Just say whatever you have.
Amy
Come on.
Producer Eddie
Don't travel more.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me travel more. That's worth. That's a number four answer worth 12 points. Boom.
Producer Eddie
That's what I'm talking about.
Voiceover Announcer
You have five, seven and nine left. You can still win this thing.
Amy
Yeah.
Producer Eddie
If you could go over them, please.
Voiceover Announcer
Sure. Lose weight, drink less alcohol. Get a new job. Travel more. That's 1, 2, 3, and 4. At number 6, cut down screen time. At number 8, read more. And at number 10, reduce stress or meditate.
Producer Eddie
Well. Ah, man, that's tough. Get more sleep.
Voiceover Announcer
Show me sleep better. Your number nine answer worth 27 points is sleep better. Woo.
Amy
Did he take the lead there?
Voiceover Announcer
Lunchbox has now officially taken the lead. Oh my goodness. With 40 points.
Producer Eddie
All I needed was that little jab when he said, let me count up your points. 1. I just needed that job to get me kind of.
Amy
But that was funny though.
Voiceover Announcer
I had to count them up. I want to catch you guys up every time. Lunchbox is now in the lead with 40 points. You have two left.
Producer Eddie
Yeah, two left. Oh, man.
Voiceover Announcer
We got a good game though now.
Producer Eddie
Yeah, we got, we got, we got, we. It's drama. It's high flute and drama.
Voiceover Announcer
High flute and drama. I don't know if you know fluten. It doesn't matter.
Amy
I've never heard that.
Voiceover Announcer
Continue on. Because if someone's high flute and that means they're like better than you. Oh, they always high flute and it's fancy. Okay. Yeah, just Want to make. Go ahead. Yeah.
Producer Eddie
I'm trying to think how I'd explain this one, man.
Voiceover Announcer
Let's give it a red.
Producer Eddie
Keep in touch. You're going to reach out to your friends more.
Voiceover Announcer
Feels very similar to what Amy said, but let's see if that's family time. Let's see. Let's see if that one's on the board. Okay.
Producer Eddie
No, I don't really understand.
Voiceover Announcer
Now Lunchbox is in the lead. Eddie, there are two left. If you get it, you win either of the two. But if you miss it, Lunchbox wins the first game of 2025. And he'd be, so far the game winning in the leader of the year. Wow.
Amy
I don't have a lot of choices here.
Voiceover Announcer
You can talk them out because. Nope, nobody can go after you.
Amy
I did have another variation of Friends, just in case Amy didn't word it right and Lunchbox didn't word it right, but I'm not going with that. I feel like people like to do good things, so when it's the new year, I want to do something good with my time. So I'm gonna go with volunteer more.
Voiceover Announcer
It's a good one. What were some other ones on your list?
Amy
That's all I had.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, you had no other ones?
Amy
I had nothing else.
Voiceover Announcer
You danced through all that and just had one.
Producer Eddie
Hey, when you said friends, it made me think, make more friends.
Amy
I mean, I had that, but I.
Voiceover Announcer
Probably would have counted that in the front because I. They're vague. I kind of give you that.
Amy
Volunteer more.
Voiceover Announcer
Volunteer more.
Producer Eddie
I think we're in trouble. W. 2025 is my year.
Amy
Is it?
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, it is. He owns it so far. Hey.
Producer Eddie
Hey, you know what my New Year's resolution is? Win more games.
Peter Tilden
It should be.
Amy
You need that?
Voiceover Announcer
Well, to finish it out real quick, at number five, stop smoking or vaping. And at number seven, learn a new skill. And at number 11, which wasn't on the list, reach out and touch someone and be quality time with friends that you know and miss from over the years by doing. Yeah, got it. It was all yours. All together. Yeah. But our winner is Lunchbox Song. Yeah.

Voiceover Announcer
I'm gonna make a prediction. I'm gonna write it down. I'm gonna seal it in an envelope. Now, if this prediction does not come true by the end of the year, I'll put on the wheel that we spend up to 500 bucks and somebody can win a bunch of cash. That's how for sure I feel about this prediction I'm going to make. I'm going to write it in marker. So, Ray, if you could give me some prediction writing music, which for sure we have ready on cue. Because, of course, who doesn't? I'm writing down a bold prediction that I am so sure is going to happen this year. That. No, no camera on me, please, Eddie.
Amy
Oh, okay. Let me change it.
Voiceover Announcer
Thank you.
Amy
Man, you're riding real big.
Voiceover Announcer
It's like a chalk on a chalkboard.
Producer Eddie
Oh, man, that's giving me the chills.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, you don't. You don't need to do that. That makes. That gives me chills, too. Okay, so this is actually me writing.
Amy
Is this part of your telepathy stuff that you've been doing lately?
Voiceover Announcer
That word you used?
Producer Eddie
Yeah, that's right.
Amy
Telepathy.
Voiceover Announcer
Well, that's how it looks when it's written. I'll be honest with you. That lets us be yes. Okay. This will happen at some point this year.
Morgan
So it could be next, like in December or November.
Voiceover Announcer
It could, but I believe it'll happen way before that. Oh, and it is something that if when I nail it, you'll be like, holy crap, how did you know? Our listeners will be like, holy crap. How did you know? I'm putting it in the envelope now.
Morgan
What does it have to do with.
Voiceover Announcer
I can't tell you any of that for this second. I'm gonna seal it. Taking the seal off. Boom. I am going to write the date on it.
Amy
And what did you write in there again?
Voiceover Announcer
Something that was huge prediction. It has to do. Okay, I'll say this with someone on the show.
Morgan
Well, we could have guessed.
Producer Eddie
No way.
Voiceover Announcer
Okay. It's. It's not me.
Morgan
It's not. Okay. Well, yeah. You can't predict something about yourself, can you?
Voiceover Announcer
No, because then I can make it happen.
Morgan
Exactly.
Voiceover Announcer
That wouldn't be fair. So here we are today. Somehow. Today, January 6th. I'm writing it on the page. Eddie. I'll show this on camera.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
But to Eddie's point of the telepathy, I feel like somehow you can make us do it.
Voiceover Announcer
This is nothing.
Amy
I like if it's one of us going to die.
Bobby Bones
Nothing.
Voiceover Announcer
I can kill us. Oh, it's a good one.
Morgan
Yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
Okay. And then I'm going to draw. Draw some squiggly so I can't replicate.
Morgan
It or we're no longer with the show. You can fire us.
Voiceover Announcer
January 6, 2025. I drew these squigglies just as is so you can zoom in on it and see nothing. This is a prediction, a major prediction about someone on the show that I think not only will it happen, when it does happen, your mind will be blown. That I wrote it in the envelope. The end. That's all it's wanted it to be reflected. If anybody opens it, though, and looks at it, they're fired.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
Does anybody in here think it's them?
Amy
No.
Producer Eddie
I mean.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, good question. Who thinks it's about them? Amy.
Producer Eddie
Do you?
Voiceover Announcer
Okay. And what do you think it would be about?
Morgan
I have no idea if it's about me, but if it. If it is about me, I know what you wrote.
Voiceover Announcer
What the heck? Okay. Lunchbox.
Morgan
I'm gonna write it down.
Voiceover Announcer
No, you can't do the envelope. Lunchbox. Do you think it's about you?
Producer Eddie
No, I don't think it's about me because I don't have any predictions coming up.
Bobby Bones
Morgan.
Voiceover Announcer
About you.
Morgan
I feel like it could be about me.
Voiceover Announcer
Okay, we have two narcissists in the room so far. Yeah.
Amy
No clue. No, it's not about me. I mean, I have nothing.
Voiceover Announcer
Okay.
Producer Eddie
That's what I'm saying.
Voiceover Announcer
Like it is going into now.
Producer Eddie
The vault of your chest.
Voiceover Announcer
Sure. The end. I'll check back in whenever it happens.
Amy
You're gonna keep it in there for a whole year?
Voiceover Announcer
I probably slide that front in my pants. Nobody will go there. Okay, it's time for the good news.
Morgan
With producer Eddie.
Amy
There's a man known as Colorado Captain. He lives in Colorado. He drives around the state and is Harley Davidson dressed as Captain America. And he goes to children's hospitals and makes the kids smile. Just plays with them, whatever. And he does parades as well. Well, the other day, he was taking his motorcycle on his way to a parade. It breaks down. A deputy stops and goes, hey, what's. What's going on here? He's like, man, I'm dressed as Captain America because I'm going to go to the children's parade, and I can't make it. So the deputy says, hop in. I'll take you to the parade. Takes him to the parade, drops him off. And not only does he do that, he pays for his motorcycle to get towed to the shop so he can keep doing what he does.
Voiceover Announcer
Oh, that's cool. I always wonder if someone leaves a motorcycle that seems easy to steal.
Amy
That's exactly why he said, I'm going to tow it for you.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah. Then, like, car, motorcycle, just steal it.
Amy
Roll it onto it, pick it up.
Voiceover Announcer
Throw it over my shoulder, and walk out of there. That's pretty cool that he does that. Do you see the video of. I mean, it was before we left for break, but Taylor Swift at the children's hospital, and she, like, in the nicest way, scolded one of her staff for saying to somebody, don't record this on her phone. Do you guys see that?
Amy
And I saw her at the hospital.
Morgan
Wait, okay. Yes.
Voiceover Announcer
And she was with a kid. And. And, like, somebody that wasn't part of her crew is, like, filming it. And her. She goes, hey, we don't. But Taylor's awesome at, like, scolding people without embarrassing them. And she told her people, like, no, it's. Guys, relax. It's okay.
Morgan
It's okay.
Voiceover Announcer
Yeah, that's cool, too. At the hospital. All right, There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. We are back. Thank you, guys for being back with us. Hope you had a good break. Now time for the Morning Corny.
Producer Eddie
The Morning Corny.
Morgan
What's the hardest case for a computer to solve? A missing file. It's been deleted.
Voiceover Announcer
Boys, if this is the year, it's like Groundhog Day. Like a shadow. You start. This is. Oh, it's a rough one. This is gonna be a rough one. All right, There you go. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
That was the Morning Corny.
Voiceover Announcer
Okay, here is Shirley from Boise.
Lunchbox
I work in customer service, and I had a customer leave me a tip, but it was a gift. Card, which. That is so amazing and awesome. I didn't have the price on the gift card, so I scanned the card, but it says zero on it. So I'm curious. Do I tell the customer anymore? Do I just let it be?
Voiceover Announcer
That stinks for you. I'm sorry.
Amy
Dang, man.
Morgan
You have to hope that they thought there was something on there.
Amy
I hope so.
Morgan
Are they being totally shady?
Voiceover Announcer
Paul McCartney once said, Let it be, let it be, let it be. And I would just let it be, because you're probably gonna see them again and again. That's an awkward and embarrassing thing to have to go, hey, you gave me a card. It was. There's nothing that's embarrassing for everybody. Unless that was, like, something you needed. But again, it's a tip. It sucks. It is unfortunate. That's a Let it be.
Amy
But if he does ask or the customer comes back, you can say, use the card.
Voiceover Announcer
Absolutely. Great point. If they come back and say, did you use the card? How'd it go? Be like, I did not. When we scanned it, there was zero on it. So thanks for thinking of me, but there must have been some kind of mess up with whenever you bought it. Like, that's how you do that. You don't say unless you're asked about it.
Morgan
Yeah.
Voiceover Announcer
But, yeah, it does suck. I hate that for you. I'm sorry to happen to you, but there you go. All right, man, Amy, that joke is. That was a tough one. Hey, we'll get tomorrow. We got a whole year to do that.
Morgan
Y'all have no idea my plan. I set the bar.
Bobby Bones
Are you starting low?
Morgan
Starting low. So it only goes up from here.
Bobby Bones
And that is the end of the first half of the podcast.
Voiceover Announcer
That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. You can go to podcast two, or you can wait till podcast to come out.
