You're gonna hear us later talk about how, well, me, how irritated I've been all day because everything's broken here at the studio. I do want to shout out our engineer, he ended up coming up fixing everything and it was a mess. So I'm a little irritable later on in this, but I think fairly because Valid.

[Lunchbox]

Valid.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's just everything's broken up here all the time. And that's showbiz, baby. But the expectations they put on me and us to perform, yet at times we don't have the capability to do it. It's like saying, hey, we need you to be an all star center fielder, but we're not going to give you a glove, like good luck. And so at times that tends to be what it is. So that's where I. Because I hold myself to an incredibly high standard and I hold everybody here on the show to a high standard. And when we aren't met with that, I get mad. And I probably. I shouldn't be as irritable, but I am. And so you're gonna hear me be irritable. Just heads up. That's coming in a minute. But I wanted to do a couple things that weren't irritable. See, at least this feels somewhat positive.

[Amy Brown]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

We had to leave the show early today. We didn't do the news on the show because this stupid show broke down.

[Eddie]

It's like a car.

[Bobby Bones]

Because the car broke down. We weren't able to get. We weren't able to get the trampoline park. That's what it felt like today. I'm getting mad again. Stop. Stop it. So I thought we would do the news that we missed today and then we'll get to the rest of the podcast. Okay. Ray, would you mind hitting the news clip? Bobby's big stories. Now that we have moved the clocks forward, it's been known to worsen symptoms of anxiety. It's also been linked to increase in heart attacks and strokes. Well, this is kind of a negative story.

[Eddie]

How's everybody doing?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I know I wasn't supposed to be happy. It just feels negative. But I don't feel bad for daylight savings time today, do you?

[Lunchbox]

No. For the first time ever. And I've just sort of convinced myself, I think in the years past, I would always be like, oh. And I would dread it and I would play into it. And then now I'm like, it doesn't impact me. It's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, screw it.

[Amy Brown]

You all don't feel tired?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but we Also, don't try to.

[Lunchbox]

Tell me that I am.

[Amy Brown]

I didn't say anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Stupid. Oh, hey, stupid idiot.

[Eddie]

I'm tired.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we get really mad at you, call your names.

[Lunchbox]

We're not.

[Bobby Bones]

And then we are. We are actually really tired and it.

[Lunchbox]

Starts to come out and that's why it's exciting.

[Bobby Bones]

Last night we ran out, we stayed out with the dogs. Later I put it on my Instagram story. I was like. It was like 6:30, still light outside. And so we took the dogs out and played with them. So I like it when it's light. Later, I don't feel like I'm. But I could have been a bit more irritable today because of that, but I don't think so. I felt like I was irritable for a reason today.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think yours were the. It's because of the equipment.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up. Recent research found that women are just as guilty as men at staring at bodies instead of faces when looking at a person. Using eye tracking software, researchers measured the gazes of men and women of both sexes to see who spent the most time studying the bodies, particularly the waists, the chests, and the butts. Checking out women for guys is a sex thing. Women, however, want to see how they physically stack up against other guys. That's from Sex Rolls, a research journal.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, listen, I saw this girl and she might be one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. I couldn't stop staring at her.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell us more, but speak slower.

[Lunchbox]

I was like. I had to tell myself, stop staring. No, no, no. I was like, who was it you're gonna. I don't know.

[Amy Brown]

But you were looking at her because she was beautiful.

[Lunchbox]

She was so pretty. I couldn't. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I was just like her skin, her hair. I. Like this season of Amy. No. Everything was just so porcelain and pretty.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I have seen guys that are so good looking that you're like, dang. Like, that's crazy. Like it's like physically an abnormality. Now I can take my eyes off of them. If I'm being honest, I just kept very easily. Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Bobby, you're ruining the moment. Let's go back to Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

But I. But I have some guys that are so good looking that you're like, dang, Their life must be awesome.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And like, they. But in honor of Amy, I'd like to say I got a girl cry. I hate to admit it. By.

[Lunchbox]

Well, that's not really what that song's about. One for two. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

It is.

[Eddie]

What do you mean it's not?

[Lunchbox]

No, I thought that it's because look like it is. It is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What do you think it's about?

[Bobby Bones]

I'll do it.

[Lunchbox]

I guess that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

That was it. I was trying to get the first look. Yeah, whatever.

[Lunchbox]

The taste of her cherry ch. Remember when we were playing that song? We were in pop radio and it was scandalous.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I remember when I was playing Girl Crush. I was scandalous. Freaking got in trouble.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe that's why I had to stick with the narrative of that's not what that song's about.

[Bobby Bones]

From the American Journal of Epidemiology. Guys, if you want to control your weight, it's imperative that you control your temper. The angrier men get, the more likely they are to gain weight and gain it rapidly.

[Amy Brown]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Hostility is associated with depression, poor diet and lack of exercise, all which can contribute to extra pounds. The researchers found that angry women didn't see the same results. And the pure anger eating wasn't present in the women they studied. And the pure anger eating wasn't present.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, maybe when we're angry, we don't eat.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the opposite. It could be.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I don't know. Virginia high school track star was attacked by a baton wielding opponent during the state title race. Did you guys see the video?

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh. It's so crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

New York Post. A disgruntled customer plows vehicle into a California CarMax showroom, injuring eight. Eight people were injured Saturday when a driver plowed a vehicle into a CarMax location in the LA area. Two people were critically hurt at the dealership in Inglewood, while the other six had minor injuries.

The video pivoted in a lobby area and drove out the opposite end of the building. Carmax. The driver was a customer whose vehicle had been appraised.

I have stuff that I come in with that is just for the podcast because I feel like we can sit in it longer and spend more time doing it. When we do the radio show, we are timed because we have Commercials to get to. We have like 6 minutes and 22 seconds to get this in. So. And how we've been changing our podcast. We just load the full radio show for now until the company tells us not to anymore. They in the end dictate. Sometimes we jump in and we change things and then they change it back. But now, just because of how media is changing, we do a whole thing on the podcast as well. That's different. It's not just post show. It's not just leftover segments. There are just things that I think we need to be able to spend more time in. And it could also be a segment from in the show that. That I feel like, well, we only got 4 minutes and 22 seconds to do that, so let's stay in it. So just to clear some confusion, we're always tinkering. We'll always tinker. And that's where we are now. So boom. Good. Everybody good on that? Okay, let's complain about something first. Hey, Scuba, if I give you $100. Yeah, I'll just pay for it. Can I just. Will you just buy a bunch of water?

[Scuba Steve]

We have some water. There should be two cases in the green room.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm telling you, I came in this morning. There was no water in my office.

[Scuba Steve]

Let me check real quick because I. I saw two cases on Friday when we left.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Those cases are whose water?

[Scuba Steve]

Our.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, did you do that or do we. No, I'm going to complain about something else too in a minute.

[Scuba Steve]

And when. When you're ready for that. That'll take five minutes to reset it. So whenever you have five minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we need.

[Scuba Steve]

So we can do that.

[Bobby Bones]

So do I need to just give you money for water or do you still feel good about it?

[Scuba Steve]

We have water, we order. I can watch. Hold on a second.

[Amy Brown]

He's checking to see if we have water.

[Lunchbox]

Man, this is riveting.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Good stuff because what if we don't have water?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I think we do, but in my office, I have a fridge. And when I get here, because I get her early and I starting to get a little allergied.

[Amy Brown]

Just a little bit, like dried up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think people got that. I don't think we needed really the follow up.

[Amy Brown]

I do too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we kind of got that, I think.

[Eddie]

Thanks for telling us what it sounds like.

[Amy Brown]

We really appreciate show and tell there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I just need to drink a whole lot of water. He pulls in two waters.

[Scuba Steve]

We have cases. Hold on.

[Bobby Bones]

Then can.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been traumatized by working with the company where we had no water at all. And we'd have to go. Not that it's bad. We have to go to the sink and get water. But the sink in a public space and it's not even cold. Was not fun. The sink was disgusting. And not that the sink even makes the water disgusting, but the water came out and was kind of not cold, just kind of like body temperature. Not even room temperature.

[Lunchbox]

Body.

[Bobby Bones]

Body temperature, which seems gross.

[Amy Brown]

98 degrees.

[Bobby Bones]

98. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Is that it?

[Lunchbox]

Depends.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I see the water. No, no. No water. Can we just keep my refrigerator stocked with water? Thank you. Thank you.

[Amy Brown]

Well, like, the tap. I know you said, like, the tap's not a big deal. Like, it's not a big deal. Right, Right. Like, people drink tap water all the time, but have you ever seen pipes? Like, if you go under your sink and look at the pipes.

[Bobby Bones]

Gross.

[Amy Brown]

Like, they're all rusted. Like, that can't be good.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. I don't, like, think about that, though. It's like, I don't think about animals being chopped up when I eat my meat.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. I'm just saying.

[Bobby Bones]

I know we had no water in our other building at all, unless it was that coming from that gross old sink. So I just couldn't believe. And sure, you could be like, oh, Bobby Prima Donna. He wants water. I know. I get it.

[Amy Brown]

We need water.

[Bobby Bones]

He wants shelter. I get it.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, you're willing even to take. Like, you're not that big of a diva because in the. You're drinking. It's. We drink the microplastic water.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely. My brain is getting so full of microplastics, and I'm good with it, and I'm willing to pay for it just to have it here. It's fine. Need to be a diva. I'll drink. I'll pay for the water. I just went to my room this morning, and there was no water in there. And so that's all. Scuba brought in two cases to show me. Could have easily taken a picture of it, texted it to me. Could have. But that was number one. Number two is, I came in, and everything was off, and so we spent. Before you guys walked in, we spent, I don't know, 15 minutes of my microphone cutting in and out of Raymundo's recording. Cutting in and out of us not being able to hit the clips that are, like. So we did that for a while, and I think I'm down about 70% from my frustration level. So you guys are getting me at, like, only 30% right there on that trigger line. And I think I can come down still as long as I get a good update of progress. But I'm watching because I come in and it's literally just me and Ray here. And Ray's like, I don't know, dude, Everything's freezing. And I'm like, well, I don't have any water, so you're freezing, I'm dry. So it's a bad mix. Bad, bad, yes. And so then Scuba comes in, and I see him on the phone on a landline, which is already trouble. Why are we using a land.

[Amy Brown]

He's like, help, Help.

[Bobby Bones]

And so we're trying to get ahold of people, but it's so early in the morning, nobody is answering their phones to fix stuff. That's all. Other than that, I'm good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good.

[Lunchbox]

That's good. I was gonna say take a deep breath because if you're not totally triggered yet, if you were to stop and.

[Bobby Bones]

Just breathe, I was. I'm coming down.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Well, if you were coming down.

[Bobby Bones]

Down.

[Lunchbox]

I think they say it takes about 20 minutes to regulate.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, about 20 hours for me, generally. But what's the number? Because I know you've taught the number thing. You breathe in for like 41 seconds, hold it for two minutes, and then puke.

[Lunchbox]

It's so good on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You breathe in for four, hold for four, out for four. And the numbers can vary, but that's an easy one to remember. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And four minutes. No, you see me pass out.

[Lunchbox]

1, 2, 3, 4. Hold, 2, 3, 4. Hold, 2, 3, 4.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought there was a seven in there somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

2, 3, 4, you can do. There's different variations, but the 4, 4, 4 is just really easy to remember. And you could do 5, 7, 8.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I was going to do. Once everything's broken, I was going to do the Henry Robbins. Just let him. Whatever. Let him. Let him keep it broken. But then I'm like, I'll be off the air.

[Lunchbox]

The let them theory. It's got some hot water.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, hey, I don't have any water. Let them. I die of dehydration.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

No, the microphones are broken. Let them. We don't go on the air.

[Lunchbox]

That there was some girl that wrote a poem years back, maybe four or five, called the Let them, Let Them, and that Mel knew about it or something. And at one point in time, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Crediting the person, your microphone just went out. I don't know. If it recorded that, did it record, Ray? Yeah. So it's record. Okay. Hey. A little better. Her mic went out in our ears, but didn't go out over the.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, okay, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Well, then and now. She didn't credit this person or poem at all whatsoever once she wrote the book.

[Bobby Bones]

She in trouble?

[Lunchbox]

Well, there's just some conversation. There's some chatter because, I mean, it blew up. I mean, I have the book.

[Amy Brown]

Is she in trouble or he in trouble?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie]

What's going on?

[Lunchbox]

She's a woman.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, maleswoman. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Why did you call her Harry?

[Amy Brown]

Henry. Henry.

[Lunchbox]

You're like.

[Amy Brown]

You said Henry Robbins.

[Bobby Bones]

Henry Rollins, though, is metal singer from back in the day.

[Amy Brown]

And Tim Robbins is the Andy dufresne.

[Bobby Bones]

And Tim McGraw is a country singer.

[Lunchbox]

Tony Robbins is the inspirational.

[Bobby Bones]

But we didn't say Tony or Robbins.

[Lunchbox]

I thought you said. I thought you said Robbins because Mel Robbins.

[Amy Brown]

No, no, you say Henry Robbins.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. Hold on. I think you guys missed where that entire thing went.

[Lunchbox]

Sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

I said Henry Rollins. And then you said Tim Robbins.

[Lunchbox]

Right, and then I said Tony.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, then I said Tim McGraw off of Tim.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you have to do it that way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

[Lunchbox]

I just didn't speak.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't have to do anything. We just made it up. Anyway, a couple of things that I definitely wanted to get to here is. Did you guys hear the mic?

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

The listeners may not, so we won't address it again. Okay. Okay.

[Amy Brown]

It's very distracting, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I just fight through it.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, we can do that.

[Lunchbox]

This is good to practice breathing through it.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard that you, Eddie, you tried to cheat your way through not paying the door gate at a kid's basketball game.

[Amy Brown]

No, no. It may have seemed that way.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy Brown]

But I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know I was going to talk about this?

[Amy Brown]

No, not. Not at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know anybody saw you?

[Amy Brown]

Yes, because I saw him there. Yes.

[Eddie]

Who?

[Amy Brown]

Scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Amy Brown]

Which is kind of cool. Like when you see a co worker out in the wild, it's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, go ahead.

[Amy Brown]

And so we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I read you first what I was. What I was told. Go ahead, please, because I feel like.

[Amy Brown]

I know exactly what you're gonna say.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're gonna defend yourself, you should first hear what you're defending yourself from. What?

[Lunchbox]

Well, don't you think hearing Eddie's version first, that way he can't tweak anything based off what was. You know, I like that.

[Bobby Bones]

But. But the defense goes second always. And there's a reason for that. And, like, fairness in court of law. Nothing is more court of law than this. Nothing is more court of law.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, But I think if he does hear this, though, it's gonna sway how he's gonna respond to it, though.

[Amy Brown]

I already have my response.

[Bobby Bones]

But, you know, you're responding to something. People don't know what you're responding to.

[Amy Brown]

Do you know what I'm responding to? The truth. And maybe you can't handle the truth.

[Eddie]

Oh, good.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, maybe that's the problem.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't care. Okay, I'll give you a sniper. Then you can actually say what happened. Okay, Scuba Steve, you said you're turning into lunchbox by trying to cheat the kids out of money.

[Amy Brown]

Stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, go ahead.

[Amy Brown]

We go to this basketball game. I guess his kids are playing basketball, my kids are playing basketball. And we have to pay $5 a person to get into this basketball game to watch your own kids play. And so I go in there, and my wife and my kids were already in there. So I assume they already paid for you. For me? Because, I mean, why would they pay for themselves and not me, Even though I was just two. Two minutes behind them? And so I go through, and the lady's like, sir, you got to pay. And I said, now I know my wife's in there. Let me check to see maybe she got my wristband. So I go check, see if she got my wrist, my wristband. She did not. So I went back and paid.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, now, this is what I was saying.

[Amy Brown]

That's what happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie is turning into lunchbox, and this was not sent as, like, show prep. Like, hey, let's. It was just Scuba sending a story that he thought I might enjoy.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie is turning into lunchbox with his old age. Basically tried to swindle his way into a kid's basketball game. I went to my son's game this weekend, ran into Eddie walking up. They charge five bucks per adult. I waited in line with the rush of people to pay. Eddie walks past me through another door, avoids eye contact with the ladies at the door, and says, I'm looking for my family. Keeps walking, hesitates to leave. Does this move where he's trying to take advantage of the rush and, like, gets into the rush and then slides in for free. I paid and didn't look back. I think Eddie swindled his way in.

[Amy Brown]

I paid eventually got my wristband.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, so did your wife pay for you?

[Amy Brown]

No, she did not.

[Bobby Bones]

So you had to go back.

[Amy Brown]

Correct.

[Scuba Steve]

But your wife was behind me, though. So how'd that happen? Because. Because when we were in line, I saw her, we were talking, and she got behind me in line, and then I was in front of her by at least two or three people.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know. But by the time I got there.

[Scuba Steve]

And then when he ended up on.

[Bobby Bones]

The phone with my brother, I don't know. No, you were on the phone.

[Scuba Steve]

Maybe, but when you got in there.

[Amy Brown]

He said, maybe, but.

[Scuba Steve]

No, I'm saying. But when you walked in, though, it was funny, because I could tell he was even trying to lay down a little thick, because then he saw the guy who runs the whole league. He's like, hey, man, what's up?

[Amy Brown]

I know.

[Scuba Steve]

And the lad goes. The lady goes, he hasn't paid yet. He hasn't paid yet. And you're like, oh, yeah, yeah. So, like, I'm just looking for my wife and kids, and I. I bet the lady didn't say, he hasn't paid yet. Three or four times. You probably would have. It's okay, though, because it is $5. And I would have tried to find.

[Amy Brown]

My way to get in as well. I think it's ridiculous to pay $5.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard he started whistling when they called your name, but it was that.

[Scuba Steve]

Moment of kind of like, hey, I know the guy who runs this thing. Like, I'm good. I'm good.

[Amy Brown]

Side note, though, it's pretty crazy, right? You got to pay $5 to watch your business.

[Eddie]

That is so dumb.

[Lunchbox]

But it's a tournament.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Amy Brown]

It wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, everybody take a breath. Remember, breathe in for four minutes.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, four seconds.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold your breath for 30 minutes, and after you pass out, I'll wake you up. Amy, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, four for four. Oh, sorry. I thought it was a tournament, because the tournament, it makes sense that you pay because, like, it's. There's a lot of things happening, but I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

What was it?

[Amy Brown]

Just a regular game?

[Bobby Bones]

That's fine.

[Amy Brown]

No, no, no.

[Scuba Steve]

I've never paid for that for any.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's a question. Question. Is the league paying the gym to run the lights to? I just need to know how the money happens, possibly, because that also could be how that's negotiated to play there. Meaning we'll charge that pays your rent to use the gym. We don't know that. So before we get into. Everything's changing.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, you're probably right.

[Bobby Bones]

Tournaments are set up different ways where they go. We would like to use the gym on this day. So in the contract is either you pay this Fee up front to rent the gym. Or. Or you do. We'll call it box office. 80% of box office for. So before everybody gets mad, just know. Not everybody's out to get you except Eddie, who's trying to get out to get the kids, who's not trying to pay $5.

[Amy Brown]

No, don't put that on me. I eventually paid. I went. Just wanted to make sure my wife didn't already pay. That's it.

[Eddie]

But why'd you go back?

[Amy Brown]

Once you're in, you're in. Because I'm fair. That's why I went back and I.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't you try to cheat your kids into a football game, though?

[Amy Brown]

No, I didn't have. It was cash only, and I didn't have cash. And I said, I'll get you next time. And I never got them. Next time.

[Bobby Bones]

Next.

[Amy Brown]

There was never a next time.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty funny, too.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, so wait, so what do you think about the $5?

[Bobby Bones]

I think you tried to be a little sneaky, and you can't.

[Amy Brown]

That. Who cares about that? About $5 on top of being in.

[Lunchbox]

A league, he thinks that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's probably okay. I don't think people set out to screw people. I think that. That somebody has to pay somebody for something. Electricity, renting of the gym. And that's probably going. That. But also it's. That league is probably trying to make a bit of money, too, so they can pay people to organize. Like, not everybody's trying to get everybody. Sometimes people do, and they. But they always go after Amy because she's on the list.

[Amy Brown]

It's true. Scamming.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Yeah, there's that. The guy had to go and get emergency surgery because he ruptured an artery picking his nose, which a little bit I relate to. I get such nosebleeds if it's just warm. I get nosebleeds if it's warm and humid and I hit my nose a little. Or if I do this, like, if I'm just like, ow. Because my nose gets sore. When allergies happen, I'll feel something in my nose like this, and then automatically I taste it in my throat and I'm like, nose bleeding. Three, two. But this guy apparently was going so hard. Doctors say he picked so hard, he tore a small artery inside his nose that caused a lot of bleeding. This is an arterial rupture. The guy needed surgery to fix the bleeding. How far was he in there?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. And was it with his finger or like a.

[Bobby Bones]

Had to be. Had to Be right.

[Eddie]

I don't know how embarrassing.

[Bobby Bones]

There's more embarrassing. Like gerbils and buttons. That's like embarrassing.

[Eddie]

What happened to. I was picking my nose. What?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but pick. Pick your nose or gerbil in the butt. You go pick your nose.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I want to pick my nose 10 times out of 10 instead of gerbil in the butt.

[Lunchbox]

Never, ever, ever would I want that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Well, I don't know if I'm.

[Eddie]

Good to know.

[Bobby Bones]

Good to know. I don't know if I wouldn't want that because I never tried it, but I'm saying I wouldn' to go to the hospital for it.

[Amy Brown]

Gross, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see they tried to make a woolly mammoth and they ended up with those. Those. Those woolly mammoth mice.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That look like woolly mammoths?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy Brown]

How do they do that?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they were trying to genetically engineer to see if they could remake the woolly mammoth, which has been extinct for a long time. But the woolly mice is what they have. And now they're going, we think we can make the woolly mammoth. And so. But these mice are. I'd like to have one.

[Lunchbox]

Were they trying to do a little miniature version?

[Bobby Bones]

They were trying, sort of, yes.

[Lunchbox]

Because. Yeah. Start small because you never know because.

[Amy Brown]

That'S how they did Jurassic Park. That's what happened there.

[Bobby Bones]

And I've heard that was a documentary that they had to lie because it.

[Amy Brown]

Did not end well.

[Bobby Bones]

The woolly mammoth went extinct about 4,000 years ago. Through isolated population, though, isolated population survived. And in the. The population of the woolly mammoth declined at the end of the some era here in Siberia. That woolly mammoth looks like a elephant that you hire. It's like an enforcer elephant. In hockey, they have enforcers that just go beat people up on the ice. It's like if you're a group of elephants or you're a guy, you go and you hire a woolly mammoth to come in and wreck shop, take care of business.

[Amy Brown]

So did you see a picture of the woolly mice?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. They're all over the Internet.

[Lunchbox]

Does it have horns?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Oh, that would be crazy if it had like.

[Eddie]

It just has like the fur.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, big fur. Big, big puffy fur there.

[Eddie]

But are we sure we need to bring the woolly mammoth back? It looks pretty dangerous. Well, I'm just saying.

[Amy Brown]

It's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

They're trying to create.

[Amy Brown]

Maybe there's a reason it's not there anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know exactly why they're doing. But some science is trying to create even meat for us to eat. You know, there are reasons that they're, you know, creating animals and organisms, and then also they probably want to clone them for fun. Just see what they can do.

[Lunchbox]

Just be like, I know, but I don't know. I just feel like they could. They seem pretty smart and talented. Maybe put it towards something else.

[Bobby Bones]

They are. Other ones are. But I think if they can do this, let's say we shoot to another planet in 20 years, 50 years, 100 years. They want to have the science to be able to recreate something to eat if we're there. Like, this is the hundred year plan more than it is making something now to put in a zoo. I'm not even saying that I am totally into it, but it would be pretty cool to have a woolly mammoth as a pet. A mini mammoth.

[Amy Brown]

No, no. The mice.

[Bobby Bones]

A mini. No, no, no, no, no. I want a mini mammoth.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, a real one, but mini, mini.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a Shetland pony. I want a mini mammoth.

[Amy Brown]

Kill you in your sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

Could you guys hear Scuba there? Okay, we have to change that, Scuba, because I didn't know if you were talking to them or me.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe when he talks.

[Bobby Bones]

That's weird.

[Lunchbox]

He talks like this.

[Amy Brown]

That was the plan, right? He's gonna talk to him.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now he's doing all these voices like he's doing Schwarzenegger. And he wants a couple minutes to reset the board. Yeah. So should we just break? Break, break. Yes or no? He's not. I can't even talk now. Okay, we're gonna take a break. Hopefully when we come back, this thing works.

[Scuba Steve]

Is it working out there? It is again. Yeah, I need two minutes to reset the board.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Thank you, sir.

[Scuba Steve]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones.

So let's just finish our weekend check in. Amy went first in the regular show, and so you can hear that there. I'll go second on Saturday night. My nights are mixed up. I did that music night in Nashville that was played in theaters all over the country. Do you ever see those things? That's like Phantom of the Opera. Watch it live in theaters. Yeah. So that's what we did. Except it wasn't Phantom of the Opera. Although that would have been cool if I was a Phantom. Let's be honest, I've never even seen Phantom of the Opera.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I've seen that one.

[Bobby Bones]

The actual play.

[Amy Brown]

At Broadway. Yeah, whatever that is. On Broadway. On Broadway.

[Bobby Bones]

On the real New York Broadway.

[Amy Brown]

On Broadway in New York City.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

How is it?

[Amy Brown]

Amazing.

[Lunchbox]

You're so cultured.

[Amy Brown]

I know. This is like when I was in college, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't let them hate on you. I've been to some Broadway plays. They're awesome.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so have I. But I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're making. You're poking and then lunchbox poke, too.

[Amy Brown]

What did you call me?

[Bobby Bones]

She goes, you're so cultured. And then lunch goes, yeah, dude.

[Eddie]

Well, I mean, Phantom of the Opera.

[Bobby Bones]

I've never made go after somebody at least commit to it.

[Lunchbox]

Right. I feel like fan of the Opera is a little bit different than Wicked.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, it's the original. It's the original massive play.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I mean. It's more cultured.

[Bobby Bones]

Now you're being a hater, and I'm not going to lie to back out of it.

[Lunchbox]

Wasn't being a hater. I was being funny.

[Amy Brown]

The only reason I knew is because my hold on.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a difference in funny and a hater. I think being a hater is being funny.

[Lunchbox]

I was being a funny hater.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, fair enough. Ray, are we cutting out or no? We are. I can't even hear. Ray can't talk. Can we keep talking? Talking. But you did cut out that one time when you were. It was that One little snip H. If I were to hypothetical burn this place down, oh, my goodness. How would everybody react?

[Scuba Steve]

Get all the people out of the building first.

[Amy Brown]

There's people above us.

[Bobby Bones]

Good point.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, people that live here. Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Please help get them out of here. Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

They probably wouldn't be able to hear us because we'd cut out.

[Bobby Bones]

If for some reason. If. For some reason, I'm talking and all of a sudden you hear if I'm like, I'm back. Just bear with us. It'll be very brief. We're dealing with some part that's out. Scuba comes in and there's a part out. We're like, is it carburetor? We don't know what the parts are here. Please tell us about Phantom of the Opera before I tell you my thing.

[Amy Brown]

Phantom of the Opera. Great play. So my high school band, like, they learned Phantom of the Opera. I guess they play it during halftime. I wasn't in the band, but whenever I go to games, I'd hear Phantom of the Opera. I'm like, that's some good stuff. So when we went to New York, we watched Phantom of the Opera. It's amazing. So good.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I'm not really a musical guy, except I've loved every musical I've ever seen.

[Amy Brown]

We think you like musicals now.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Yeah. You know, not big love them. Not. Not big musical guy. But I've loved everyone I've ever seen. But, you know, not my thing, except kind of is because I've seen them on Broadway, off Broadway, in Austin, in Nashville. But maybe I've just gone to really good ones. Like, it takes a big one for me to go to, but I've loved them even. I watched. Oh, yeah, the. The movie with Gosling.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, La La Land. You love.

[Bobby Bones]

Excellent. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

It's such a good movie, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I never watched Chicago, the movie. Did you watch that? The movie that was the musical? Yeah. I think, like, Richard Gere was in it. I never saw that one. I was like, I'm not a musical guy, but at this point, maybe I was. Did you ever see that? Yeah, it's pretty good. It was.

[Amy Brown]

Do you watch Moulin Rouge?

[Bobby Bones]

Played Song on the radio, though, messing all that up. And doesn't that mean, like, let's go to bed together?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, my goodness.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy Brown]

Something like that, Yeah.

[Eddie]

I like that better now.

[Bobby Bones]

So we did this thing in theaters, and we had three songwriters, and together they'd written like, 40 or 50 number one songs. And a bit of an experiment because they're going to do it twice, and then they're going to use it to pitch. But it went really well. I'm not sure how many people actually went to the theaters to watch it. I think it's a weird thing to educate people on with only like, two weeks time to do so. But in Nashville, there are these songwriting rounds that happen everywhere, all the time, with big songwriters that actually write the songs. And so we had these three massive ones, and it was really, really cool. We had a room full of people, and it was like a two hour thing. We had an intermission in the middle for like 10 minutes. Thank God, because I wish movies had an intermission. But Abby was like. I went. I didn't even see Abby in there. And then she was like, should I have said hi? You were standing right next to me. I'm like, why did you.

[Amy Brown]

What on earth?

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Eddie]

Abby's the weirdest person on earth.

[Lunchbox]

No, she's not weird.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't understand. Why would you not say hi?

[Lunchbox]

Well, you were, like, in the zone. You were like, I'm on the side. I don't have a zone about to go live. I didn't want to be like, hey. And you're like, I'm trying to work here.

[Bobby Bones]

Have I ever done that in the history of us knowing each other?

[Lunchbox]

No, but I've never done that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I don't have a zone. For the record, There's.

[Amy Brown]

I remember visiting you in a movie set, and you're like, two seconds where you went on. We were all talking. You're like, hey, hold on, man. I'm gonna go shoot real quick. Like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I just. I don't have, like, a place.

[Eddie]

He wasn't in his zone. Oh, man.

[Lunchbox]

I thought we made eye contact.

[Bobby Bones]

Actually, I didn't see. I didn't see you. It would have been nice if you'd have said, hey, hello.

[Lunchbox]

I know I should. I'm sorry about that. You did great.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you think about it?

[Lunchbox]

It was awesome. Like, it was amazing, the storytelling. And I feel like. Because I've been doing a lot of writers rounds in Nashville, and it made it feel like that to everybody watching, like, all over, you know, getting messages.

[Bobby Bones]

From people watching all over the country. But I don't know, like, how it did. I have no idea. It wasn't my show. They just hired me to be the host. There was one part at the beginning where they're going, okay, you're gonna start outside. And it's. It's like, three, two, one, go. We're live. And I'm like, hey, everybody, it's Bobby and welcome to Music Night in Nashville. I'll say some stuff, point to the sign, then I walk into the theater and it's a 45 second walk. What? They didn't tell me it was up all stairs. So I'm walking 45 seconds and I walk. Oh, yeah. I walk 45 seconds and my move is 45 seconds. And then right as the music is timed, I walk right on stage and start talking. And it's two long paragraphs. And it doesn't matter how good a shape you're in, walking upstairs is a different animal. And I get up and I'm like, hey, everybody, welcome to just battling the whole time. And so. But it ended up, ended up being really good. I was proud of it. They did a great job. They're re airing it Tuesday night in theaters. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I was about to ask, how do we say. I mean, I had no, I had no digital anything. I had no way to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's at the theater. I go to the theater.

[Lunchbox]

So to go to the theater on Tuesday to watch it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And then after that, I don't know what's going to happen with it. Again, not my show. They just hired me to host it. But I was pretty proud of it. They did a really good job with it, but that's what we did. So that happened. Arkansas beat Mississippi State, so they are almost for sure in the NCAA tournament.

[Amy Brown]

Is that overtime?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but it went down to the last shot. Yeah. So that was pretty cool. That was on Saturday as well. Played pickleball yesterday. Turned my ankle a little bit. Still battled it out, though. I know you're wondering if I battled out. Still battled it out.

[Lunchbox]

Fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm all good. That was my weekend, Eddie.

[Amy Brown]

Basketball kids start basketball again. I mean, we're. We're basketball year round. But they won both of their games this weekend, which is awesome because that never happens. And usually it's like celebrate one and I'm sorry, buddy, to the other one. But this time we won both games and it's a good feeling, man, when both kids win their games. Like, it makes my weekend so much better.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it because one of them is not cranky?

[Amy Brown]

Not really. Not really. You just feel like a winner. Like the family feels like a winner.

[Bobby Bones]

You put too much value in that.

[Amy Brown]

I know that. And it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

I know it's a question. Are you putting too much value? Yes. Because if it were about the kids, I would be like, that's cool. If they're both happy, that's that makes everybody a little happier, but it feels like you won.

[Amy Brown]

But Saturdays are taken by basketball like there's nothing else to do except go to basketball games. And so when they win, I feel like the weekend was a success.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's fair, but it's not healthy.

[Amy Brown]

You're right.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you living a bit vicariously through them?

[Amy Brown]

No, because I never played basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

Just why? Possibly that's why I would ask that.

[Amy Brown]

Never really wanted to play basketball. Wasn't my sport really. But it is cool to see him succeed at it and be like leaders.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're not coaching at all?

[Amy Brown]

No, I'm just sitting back, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that why they're winning now, you think? Probably. Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. Saturday night I got to be in the Mad Dog Demolition Derby. I go there and the arenas packed, met so many listeners and I go down in the dirt and they bring out.

[Bobby Bones]

Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?

[Eddie]

It was in like Shelbyville, Tennessee. It's like 45, 50 minutes south of here. And dude, it was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you wear like a head cam or anything?

[Eddie]

No, they had a photographer but I did. They gave me a helmet.

[Amy Brown]

That's cool.

[Eddie]

It's real deal, dude. Like you're driving.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, shouldn't you wear a real deal helmet? If they were like. They gave me a helmet to wear. It is plastic.

[Eddie]

Well, I brought my bicycle helmet thinking it was going to be funny.

[Amy Brown]

Oh my goodness.

[Eddie]

And they were like, no, no, you need a real helmet. So they, they had a real helmet for me.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good.

[Eddie]

And I mean did you put all.

[Bobby Bones]

The stickers on or they do that for you?

[Eddie]

No, they did that for me.

[Amy Brown]

Look, there's a Bobby boneshow sticker on top.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I asked is you pay for that? No, they sponsorship. I had nothing to do with it. Did you win? Yeah. You won the whole thing?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, why are you saying it weird? You answered it weird. We don't believe you because you answered it.

[Eddie]

You're not going to.

[Bobby Bones]

You're.

[Eddie]

Let me tell the story. So it's me and another car at the start line, Right.

[Bobby Bones]

There's only two cars. Yeah.

[Eddie]

We're doing the race and there's two laps.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's not a real crash up derby.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no, dude, you crash into each other while you're racing.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, I'm just, I'm just trying to get my mind on what it is.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you guys go to crash up derbys where it looks like 20 cars and it's the last one?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You break your stick whenever you're out.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Demolition derby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, they have that.

[Eddie]

This is called the jump and run.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And so there's two cars, and you do two laps, arena. And there's jumps. And you can ram each other. You can. Whatever you need to do. And, dude, it goes three, two, one, green flag. And we. And I think I'm hauling. I'm like, I'm smoking this fool. And all sudden, boom.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's a race.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can hit.

[Eddie]

Yes. And boom. He rams me from behind. I'm like, what in the world? And it's not like a soft ram, like, you know, a little fender bender.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

And I'm back. I'll get her. Go again. Then boom. Rams me from behind again.

[Bobby Bones]

Whose car?

[Eddie]

Some guy built, like the guy that was in the car with me. He didn't say a word.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, someone's riding with you?

[Eddie]

It was his car.

[Amy Brown]

That's terrible. He just gets ran.

[Bobby Bones]

Driver's instructor.

[Eddie]

He didn't even say anything.

[Bobby Bones]

You have a break on the floor like the old driver instructor did.

[Eddie]

So he just let me have the car. And I don't know, he didn't say anything. I thought he's gonna be like, what's up, dude? But he was just like, he's probably.

[Amy Brown]

Mad that you're driving his car.

[Bobby Bones]

They let him do this.

[Eddie]

I was like, dude, do I need to put a seatbelt on? He goes, I'm not.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Amy Brown]

What?

[Eddie]

Well, I'm going to put seatbelt on, ma'am.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's awkward for you.

[Eddie]

I know. I felt like kind of a sissy because he didn't put a seatbelt on, but I had my.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not the seatbelt. The fact that he won't talk.

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh. But, dude, I was too busy into the race. I didn't care, dude. And I mean, I'm jumping these jumps, and then I'm hitting the front bumper.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom.

[Eddie]

Down into the dirt. It was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

And you won the race.

[Eddie]

I won the race.

[Amy Brown]

Who were you racing? Another, like, professional racer, like another regular.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, I don't think this is professional.

[Eddie]

These are all regular dudes, dude. They pay their own money to be in this race. Like, they build their own car, they bring their own car.

[Amy Brown]

But did you race a guy that built his own car or just another you?

[Eddie]

Not another car.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure? I think that doesn't matter. Okay. Did you win money?

[Eddie]

I didn't win money, but I won the race, man. I won the pride. And I mean, it was awesome. And there was one race later, the Car, the shark car. They. Someone hit it and flipped it upside down.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there money to be won?

[Eddie]

I think if you race the whole, like, if you keep. Because it was like a bracket style, and if you keep going, you can win money.

[Bobby Bones]

But you kept going.

[Eddie]

No, no, I didn't keep going. Then since I won, I let that guy take over. Since it was his car, I felt bad. I was like, all right, dude, you can race now.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, he was upset you were driving his car, probably. But how did you get to drive it? Like, who put you in that spot?

[Eddie]

The organizers were like, hey, does anybody. Will anybody let him drive their car?

[Amy Brown]

And he was forced.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he doesn't feel like he won it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but he got. I think he got a free entry into the. Like, he didn't have to pay to get in.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's kind of put you in an awkward position. If you got in, the guy didn't want you. I kind of felt bad for you having to sit there with a guy. No, no.

[Eddie]

He was really nice. He was. I mean. And then other dudes, like, afterwards, like, dude, you want a demolition car next year, we'll build it for you. You want to be in the derby? You want to be in that, like, where you wreck? And I was like, I don't know. That racing was pretty fun. My adrenaline was going for, whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

She pour milk on your head. I would have got out and just been like, brickyard.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, you pour.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You do that.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

What, do your neck. Does your neck hurt or anything?

[Eddie]

No, but, dude, when you get ran from behind like that, you love.

[Amy Brown]

But we already talked about that.

[Bobby Bones]

It woke you up, getting right from behind.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't like it.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, he looks forward to that.

[Bobby Bones]

He does. He's like, he want to do it again.

[Lunchbox]

He was acting like, we know. I can't wait know when that happened.

[Amy Brown]

He has said it, like 10 times.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I love being ran from behind.

[Eddie]

No. What was that? Crazy is when you're not expecting to get ran from behind.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, dude. I know. Yeah, it was. Dude.

[Eddie]

So freaking. I mean, people were losing bumpers. It was so fun. It was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, congratulations.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I wish they would have let you, like, keep racing.

[Eddie]

I think if I build my own car, I can keep racing.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if you build your own car, you won't drive. It won't work.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

You take the Ultima, like, get the Ultima, make It one final run and that's where it is.

[Eddie]

I mean, that would. I'd have to put a new engine in it and that costs like $8,000.

[Bobby Bones]

No, put a cheap one in. Get an old cheap one. That make. Gives it one final tournament run.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the prize? If you won at all? Because maybe we. Now I can't invest a lunchbox. I can't. I've done it too many times.

[Eddie]

I'm not sure what it is. That's a great question. But I mean, these people were. It was. Dude. And some guys were so smart, they would let the person lead the whole 11 3/4 lap is on that last.

[Amy Brown]

Turn, just so they could.

[Eddie]

They would t bone them, spit them out, and boom, go buy them.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody get hurt?

[Eddie]

No. Even, even the shark car that flipped.

[Bobby Bones]

Over, There's a shark car. You keep saying that. So what does that mean? There's a fin.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

He put a. And painted it like a shark.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. We keep cutting out. We keep cutting out. I'm about to flip my crap. Yeah, but he had like, I'm about to do the show. What? The shark car did flip my crap.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, boy.

[Eddie]

And then everybody runs to the car. And then he gave the thumbs up out the car. Scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the deal? Should we just stop again?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, Talk about. Oh, there it is. Oh, it worked real quick. We're fine. It's just. It just every once in a while it cuts out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't like that, though.

[Scuba Steve]

I know, I know. So the, the part is called Jetway and they have to replace it, but there isn't a new one here right now. So they're trying to take another person's Jetway. We love it on ours. You go grab somebody else's paper, put it in your printer. That's what we're doing here right now.

[Bobby Bones]

But every studio doesn't run right now. No.

[Scuba Steve]

So there's like, we have some problems.

[Bobby Bones]

Batteries. They'll take batteries from one remote, put them in like something else.

[Amy Brown]

Any.

[Scuba Steve]

One double A from there, one from there.
