And now Superhuman Shack.

[Bobby Bones]

I keep telling them not to say that. I'm no superhuman. Believe it or not, I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity. Moderate to severe OSA is a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep, with loud snoring, choking, gasping for air air and even daytime fatigue. Let's just say it could sound a lot like this. Sound familiar? Learn more@don'tsleeponosa.com this information is provided by Lilly, a medicine company.

[Amy]

When the holidays start to feel a bit repetitive, reach for a Sprite Winter Spice Cranberry and put your twist on tradition. It's a refreshing way to shake things up this sipping season, and only for a limited time.

[Bobby Bones]

Sprite Obey your thirst. Nobody won the Powerball. I'm always surprised that nobody wins, as many people play, but there are a lot of numbers. The Powerball jackpot rose to an estimated 1.1 billion after there were no winners in Saturday night's drawing. Here you go. Now the grand prize has jumped to 1.1 billion. There is someone in Sacramento who won a million dollars. The chances of winning the jackpot is 1 in 292 million.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

But that didn't stop people from buying.

[Bobby Bones]

Tickets at the Luck, Bluebird and Hawthorne.

[Derek]

Before the numbers were drawn.

[Bobby Bones]

The location is known for producing big lottery winners. So that's from ABC7. But it's at $1.10 billion cash value. $53.4 million.

[Derek]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's in third. Yeah. 13 hours or so. Yep.

[Derek]

It's amazing. So if you win it, you wouldn't be a billionaire, I guess, huh?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh, man.

[Derek]

Well, just to say, man, very much.

[Bobby Bones]

Not be, because you'd probably take the lump sum as well, and you could probably subtract another 100 million off that o.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

So.

[Derek]

400.

[Bobby Bones]

400 million. Hey, just a measly 100 million. There were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, $1 million winners, though. California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and Virginia. There were two. $2 million winners. North Carolina, Pennsylvania. Oh, that would be awesome. I get a little wanderlust about the lottery sometimes, too. And I had a bad year because I did my New Year's resolution to win over, like 500 bucks, and I scratched all. I lost a ton of money doing this bit. And I never wonder. 500 bucks, and I bet I did. 250 tickets. Scratch off tickets.

[Derek]

And not the cheap ones, too, right?

[Bobby Bones]

All $50 or more. Now, every one of them didn't lose, but I'm far. I'm way, way red. So way lose. Lunchbox, you play?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I did play. I played $100 worth. Didn't win. I mean, maybe 20 bucks. So I lost 80 is what you would say, but I will be going bigger tonight. 150 bucks. Let's go.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Tonight. So you mean you're going to buy them tonight for the drawing on two? Tuesday. It's tonight.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

It is tonight.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. 13 hours.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, 13 hours, dude. I mean, the clock is ticking. We got to get going.

[Derek]

This is the Powerball, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't matter.

[Derek]

I mean, I might go in on it.

[Bobby Bones]

You might go and buy the Mega Millions and then hit all the numbers of the Powerball. Oh, can you imagine what a disaster that would be?

[Derek]

Yeah, that'd be crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're like, I want to play. And you get all six numbers, and you're watching and all the numbers and the, the final ball hits and you're like, oh, I got a hit. And then you buy the mega millions and not the Powerball.

[Derek]

It's the wrong ticket.

[Bobby Bones]

What would you do?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Out.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. That way.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Amy, I'm just telling you the truth.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just asking the truth.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Like if you did that. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's a billion dollar mistake.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, 400 million on the lump sum.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, yeah, but you win the billion dollar jackpot, it goes down to 400 million. That's a, that's a.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, speaking of money, I want to thank all the listeners, like Sincerely, our St. Jude radio. A thon over $2 million. So it's not lost on us. We try not to ask a lot of you guys. Mostly we just want to come on, do a free show for you that you can listen to. And hopefully you take some stuff from it, you enjoy it. And then a couple times a year, but once where we really like batten down the hatches and go hard, it's for St. Jude and for every single one of you that called and became a partner in Hope. We're super appreciative because that is a sacrifice on your part for sure. And it's a place that we are super close to and it's a place that takes kids from all over the country. So that matters to us too, that it's not super specific to like a location. So we're very grateful that you guys would be a part of that. So thank you, Jody. And Georgia is on the phone now earlier we're talking about Scuba Steve who had what they told him might be a tumor. Turns out it wasn't a tumor. It's a hernia. Lunchbox has something that is in his stomach that he can't figure out what it is. Yeah, Jody, you're on.

[Caller]

Good Morning Bobby groans and the Bobby Bones Show. I heard the bit that you guys were doing about your hernia and stomach pain and so forth. And I have personal experience with this. My father in law at age 26 had a hernia. The hernia was about the size of a Lyme. He went and saw doctors. Doctors said, if it's not bothering you, it's not bothering me. Over the course of the last, oh, I don't know, 30 years, it wasn't bothering him. So it wasn't bothering them either. And last year he ended up in the hospital. It had constricted around his testicle and they ended up having to put everything back in him, where it goes and take out his Left boy. So I just, you know, I care about you guys. I wake up with you every morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. And I appreciate that.

[Derek]

It's nice.

[Caller]

Yeah. I would never want anybody to, you know, doctor say it's no big deal. It could be a big deal. So I just want you guys to be healthy and happy.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Caller]

So I just, you know, kind of wanted Steve to be aware. I'm glad that he's healthy. And the doctors say that's great, but doctors are not always the smartest people in the world. Just keep an eye on it.

[Bobby Bones]

We need them to be, though.

[Derek]

That'd be nice.

[Bobby Bones]

We need our doctors to be the smartest people in the world. But yes. Jody, thank you very much. Hope you have a great rest of the day.

[Caller]

You guys have a great day. Merry Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

You too.

[Amy]

Merry Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

That's Jody in Georgia talking about Scuba Steve. He might lose a testicle now. I want to go to Stephanie in Florida. Stephanie, you're on to talk about Lunchbox.

[Caller]

Yeah. So I was listening to the same show, obviously, and heard about Lunchbox's testicular pain. And he said it's on one side. And I work in pediatrics with kids, and often these teenage boys come in and have one sided testicular pain where it twists. So the testicle inside twists and the pain comes from the loss of blood flow to the testicle. And it's actually usually an emergency and they have to go into surgery and get what's called a testicle tacking, where they tack it in place so it doesn't twist anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

So we got two testicles. We got two testicle stories here today. We got Scuba Steve, who might lose a testicle from this. And we have Lunchbox who. His new pain is in his testicle. It was in his stomach and now it radiates like a. Like a triangle down into his testes.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. No, just one teste.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, testy.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Just the left. I'm telling you, it is just the left. It is uncomfortable. Like if I just run across the backyard with the kids. The left testy hurts now, like the. The pain radiates down there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Right one fine. No radiation, no pain. Only the left one.

[Amy]

Yes, but it could be twisted.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And if I. If I'm being honest, the left one is maybe double the size of the right one.

[Derek]

It's getting bigger. That's a big deal.

[Amy]

Information come about.

[Bobby Bones]

That's bad news.

[Derek]

That's important.

[Bobby Bones]

The left one's the hurt one, right? Yeah, yeah, that's swollen. You have a swollen. Dude, you gotta. Something's wrong. It could be twisted.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, no, I know, but the doctors.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell you that sounds like a drink that has alcohol, a twisted testicle. It sounds like something that's.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

It really does.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It sounds like something that's fine by itself. Just a testicle. But if it's twisted, you've added alcohol.

[Derek]

A round of twisted testicles. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

For everybody, please.

[Amy]

I mean, guys, a swollen, painful left testicle requires immediate medical attention, especially if pain is severe. It could be a medical emergency.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if one has swollen bigger. That's a medical emergency.

[Amy]

Testicular torsion, which I believe is what she was calling us about. Yeah, the medical name is testicular torsion or something like that. Lunchbox. This is concerning. And hopefully with your doctors, you're not like, okay, if I'm being really honest.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Hopefully.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like, we haven't told them that yet. Okay. I was only being doctor. I was only being partially honest, but now if I'm being really honest.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Look. No, no.

[Amy]

Somebody needs to look at it, guys. All right, Bobby, I mean, what do.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean, a swollen left testicle? I'll take a look.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Derek]

Yeah, look at it.

[Amy]

Bobby's the doctor of the group. He should look.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a PhD, but it's still something.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I understand. I understand. I'm just telling you the truth. Like, I mean, I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

A swollen left testicle can stem from infections.

[Derek]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

It gives a bunch of words. I don't know. There's fluid buildup. There's varicose veins injury, hernia. It can signal emergency testicular torsion.

[Amy]

Fluid buildup.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know what to tell you, except you need to go back to another doctor and show. Have you shown the swollen testicle to one of your doctors, or has it happened since you went to the last doctor?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, I've never. They've never asked. They've always just.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not how that works. No, no, that's not how.

[Derek]

And since you told us, like, I want to be honest. Do you do that with a doctor? You got to be honest with them and tell them.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, no, no, I'm honest.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not how medicine works. You don't have to go in and just wait for them to ask about it. You have to tell them everything. So then.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, I do. And they're just like, oh, yeah, no, we don't see anything. You're good.

[Amy]

So, I mean, they visit that it was swollen.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, they've never looked at the testes.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you've never told them. They didn't ask Right.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

They were just concentrating right there. Like, oh. And I didn't really have pain in the testicle to begin with.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it's only recently gotten there. It's migrated down.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Right? It's more migrated down.

[Derek]

And when did it start getting bigger?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

That's a great question. I was just looking at it the other day. I was.

[Bobby Bones]

As you normally would on a Sunday.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. Okay. I was like, oh, my God, that one's a lot bigger than 2pm time.

[Bobby Bones]

To look at my test.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Whoa.

[Amy]

He has epididy midas.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Is that funny or not?

[Amy]

Epi. Diddy Midas maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like Diddy.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And my wife was like, maybe you should go to the emergency room. And I was like, well, I'm not like, I don't think this.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll take it on the show instead.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, no, I don't think this is emergency room level, but maybe getting bigger.

[Derek]

Dude, this is not good.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, I know it's not good. Trust me.

[Amy]

Bobby, go look at it.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I'll take a look.

[Derek]

You should.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I'm telling you, it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's livestream it. Our YouTube page. Go search us out at Bobby Boneshow on YouTube.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

If I was a man and he was my friend, I would look at it. Like, if this is my vagina. I know.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Why do I need Bobby to look at.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me see your vagina.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I know it's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me see your vagina.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Like, I.

[Derek]

You may not have a close look at it, though.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh, trust me. My wife has looked at it and she's like, yep, it's definitely bigger.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But she doesn't have the look of a man.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

That's true.

[Derek]

Can you visibly see that, though, or do you have to feel it?

[Amy]

Yeah, I do have to do 6, 7, 6, 7. Yes.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, no, you can visibly see it. Let's just put it this way. The lead one is so heavy. It's hanging way down.

[Bobby Bones]

And no, we get that swollen.

[Derek]

Well, now I want to see it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we should charge people here on.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

This floor five bucks. Look at elephant boy. Oh, man. Okay, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, you got to get that. You got.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, I know. I understand.

[Bobby Bones]

I do. Checked out. Okay. I want to go to Brian in Colorado Springs. Hey, Brian, you're on the show.

[Caller]

Hey, Bobby. Hey, studio.

[Bobby Bones]

What's happening?

[Caller]

So for Lunchbox, I had what's called a torn adductor muscle. I was running, went to the left. I felt like a pop. Like, pop your knuckle. It's felt like it was at my belly button. I was also checked for a hernia four times. And the answer was, it's got to heal on an own. Unfortunately, the answer is it takes over a year and you cannot run.

[Bobby Bones]

So is. Does that sound familiar? Lunchbox to what happened to you?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I didn't feel a pop or anything like that. But did it show up like on an X ray or something? Like, how did they find that out? Because everywhere I've gone they say, I don't know, man. We're here if you need us.

[Bobby Bones]

But we can't show them your swollen testicle. I think that's probably going to be a big indicator is what's happening with you.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

That could be. Did this guy have a swollen.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you have a swollen, sir?

[Caller]

Or hernia?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry, what'd you say?

[Caller]

Yeah, it just. They checked me for hernias because that was the symptoms. Even though I was feeling in my stomach. It's a muscle that runs along that side. I ran an entire race. It popped it like.1 miles. I finished the race. When I got done, all of a sudden the pain hit me. It felt like I had just gotten off of a horse for four hours and I had to walk bowlegged and hunched over because it hurt so bad in stomach and my groin.

[Bobby Bones]

Did your testicle swell up a little bit?

[Caller]

That might be why they were checking my testicle, checking me for hernia, stuff like that. Yeah, I'm wondering if it's swelling because he keeps using it and it's not healed.

[Bobby Bones]

He slaps one side of it.

[Derek]

How's he using it?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I mean, just walking. I'm looking up torn abductor muscle.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I probably don't want to Google how you said it, but.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Brian, appreciate that. Thank you for the call. Hope you have a great day. He's over there looking at it now. Let's go to Susan. Hey, Susan in Kansas City. You're on the show. What's going on?

[Caller]

Hey, I am calling because I completely disagree with you on the bride who's upset about the groom wanting his best person to be in the wedding. I just think. I mean, it's his wedding, too. And it's not like the bride didn't know about her. You know what I mean? And so, I mean, it's just kind of an insecurity on her part. But I think if that's what he wants, he should be okay with that and so should the bride.

[Bobby Bones]

I understand your reasoning and I agree with your days. I hear you. I agree with your reasoning on this. However, I don't think that either one of Them should be put in a situation where they feel awkward on their wedding day. I think it's just about that day specifically. If you're paying for a wedding and it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, but you don't want something to happen. You don't want that thing that's making you feel weird to happen on that one day where you've paid all this money. That's my point. It's not that she is not insecure or he. Guess it would be a he.

[Derek]

She, she, she.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait. She wants a girl and the bride's not feeling it.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree with everything you said. I agree with. Where I think I break off is it's your wedding. This is the day where you don't want anything to feel awkward and cut anything that feels awkward because you're going to be anxious leading up to it. You're going to be anxious as it's happening. And do you really want your wedding to be a day where you feel anxious? You don't. Because you're just paying the middle or a bunch of money for this. I think that's why I wouldn't do it. That's why I do it. But I understand what you're saying. I agree with you, everything you're saying. I just would not want to put them through that on their wedding day. And if I may be a tad sexist, a wedding is a little bit more, generally speaking, for the female than it is the male. That's why we don't even really get to walk down the aisle and have the hubbub about us. Because it's not about us. If it was, we'd get the music and everybody would stand up when we walk down the aisle. Bullcrap. We have to walk down with all our boys and just stand there. Yeah. Wait, it's not about us.

[Amy]

Well, it is 30% to an extent.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's mostly not, traditionally speaking, as much about the guy as it is the woman. We wear a standard tux. You guys going yes to the dress. We don't. We're just like, cool. Tux works.

[Derek]

I'm wearing this.

[Bobby Bones]

We see it in a picture and we're like, that's the one we'll take. So I agree with everything Susan is saying. I just think on your wedding day, things have to be a little different because you don't want to go stand somewhere after you paid all this money and feel awkward leading up to it or during it. That's all Susan. I appreciate that, though. I do agree with you.

[Caller]

Okay, good. Because it's his day too.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we got a new day. As much his day as it is her day. But yes, I hear you. Thank you very much, Susan.

[Caller]

Okay, thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye.

[Amy]

Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's roll some voicemails here.

[Caller]

Number one, Stephanie from Virginia. We talked last week about the Zac Brown show. We loved it so much that we went back the second night. It's his story of the demons that he has faced, whether they were the stepfather people along the way or himself. The whole story is love is the remedy. It is the coolest thing. No, it's not a normal concert. It is an experience. It is a show and it was amazing.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Derek]

Okay, so he's battling the demons up there.

[Bobby Bones]

I did. Well, he is fighting Brock Lesnar and one of them, who I think represents a demon. I did see a tick tock from over the weekend of Zach Brown saying this show is not devil worshiping. He's like addressing it head on. Yeah, I didn't think it was devil worshiping. I think people said, yeah, definitely weird vibes. But that's not my favorite imagery. I don't like the skulls. That's not my thing.

[Derek]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's awesome. I think they're the best band ever in country music. The only one you would really argue for is Alabama, and I could understand that argument as well. So I am a Zac Brown fan. To me, aesthetically, not my favorite types of images.

[Amy]

Having this context definitely helps it though, like understanding these are the demons in his life. And there's specific characters that.

[Bobby Bones]

Demons his ex wife up there.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a demon in his wife in his life?

[Derek]

Could have been.

[Amy]

Sure. You should probably let that go.

[Bobby Bones]

Are they still in the middle of the court case?

[Amy]

I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't see her tik toks anymore.

[Amy]

It fell off my algorithm.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, either it fell off or she stopped doing them. Same cuz I was seeing all of them when she'd update. Give me the next one.

[Caller]

Lunchbox scrolling and zooming in on women photos. I please, please, please tell me this is a bit because, like, I don't know if I can listen to your show anymore. This is not a bit. Producer Eddie posted it. You're gonna lose a lot of followers based on this.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

So I saw Eddie's Instagram where they were on a flight going to Florida and lunchbox was scrolling and Eddie was recording him scrolling and lunchbox was looking at girls. I didn't know. I didn't know if it was a bit or not.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. It was totally a bit.

[Derek]

Because it was.

[Amy]

They were. They were reenacting what I saw on an airplane. And so you would have to have heard that segment to understand it. But when I saw it, I laughed because I knew that's what they were doing. I mean, Lunchbox may look at that stuff, I don't know, but he looks.

[Bobby Bones]

At that stuff so much that I thought it was a bit, But I'm like, it may not have been, right?

[Derek]

No, no, it was totally a bit. And he even goes, like, all right, what do I search? And he goes, I guess I'll search hot chicks.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And Eddie even said the same commentary as Amy. And he goes, man. And he's even married. And people. The comments are great. I mean, people are like, oh, my gosh, I knew that. Disgusting human. It's obvious he's gonna cheat on his wife. It's like, wow. Because you look at a hot chick on Instagram, you're gonna cheat. That's the rules.

[Derek]

I will say the zoom zoom in was organic, though. I didn't talk.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll also say the Venn diagram of people who look at a lot of hot chicks that are married probably are. That there's big overlap of cheaters.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably not all, but I'd say there's a big overlap of cheaters on guys that are obsessed with thirst traps on social media. Okay, and give me next one.

[Caller]

Lunchbox is good and bad, and I sometimes love them, sometimes hate him, but I think he is great at answering the phones during the same Jude thing. Bye.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Big compliment for Lunchbox.

[Derek]

Boom.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I'm finally good at something.

[Derek]

Good job, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

When you guys went to Florida, you guys were doing a music festival or something?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. Live Life Fest.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys get paid for that?

[Derek]

Not yet, but I think we will.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you are gonna get paid for that?

[Derek]

I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

They tell you to get paid for that? Yeah. I didn't know what it was. I was like, surely they're getting paid.

[Derek]

It was pretty cool, though. Naples, Florida, does 80 degrees there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that sounds awesome.

[Amy]

Yeah, it looked awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

So both of these guys have a little tattletale and they want to do, of course.

[Derek]

Oh, wonderful.

[Amy]

I mean, it wouldn't be a show trip without.

[Bobby Bones]

So Eddie can go first. A few lunchbox observations from the weekend.

[Derek]

Yeah, I have three of them. So the first one is he walks on the plane with a book, right? And I'm like, oh, he's book guy. Not once did he pick up the book and read it. He just carries it onto the plane. So people think like, oh, he reads books.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

That's right. Lay it on the seat. You have it there. But it's like, man, this guy's intelligent. Now just close my eyes, take a nap. But the book sat there the whole time. So people think, man, he's a reader and he's really smart.

[Derek]

I was like, are you going to read the book at all? He's like, maybe. I don't know. Possibly.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And did I ever read it?

[Derek]

He never read it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think people look at anybody and make a judgment based on if they're carrying a book or not.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh, are you kidding me? That's a status symbol. That's why people carry books on planes.

[Derek]

I used to think like people. When I was reading my one book, Green lights with Matthew McConaughey, people would look at me and be like, I feel so smart, like carrying a book and being that person that reads on.

[Bobby Bones]

The plane, maybe they do.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

It is a status symbol. That's why people hold it outside, hold it, and they put it up. It's like people with newspapers on the plane. It's like, I don't think anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a single thought goes into my mind. Decade, I guess I think if someone has a newspaper, there's a chance. There's no Internet on the plane, and they know that, so they brought this so they could read it. That's usually what I think. Or I don't know what else you observed.

[Derek]

He got yelled at by the flight attendant like a little boy. It was crazy. And I don't understand why people, like, they just don't like him. Like, there were people getting up. No problem. No one got yelled at. But as soon as he gets up.

[Commercial Announcer]

Sir.

[Bobby Bones]

Sir.

[Derek]

And I didn't hear. I didn't even know what happened.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I had just woken up from a nap on the plane. I was like, oh, man, I gotta pee. And so I got up to go pee and she. Sir, sir, you don't need to be going right now. It's not a good time. Sit down and sit. Buckle your seat belt. And I'm like, oh, okay. All right. I sat back down. And then like five minutes later, she goes, all right.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it turbulence, or were you landing?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I guess there was turbulence. And I didn't. I mean, I didn't realize. I just woke up, and I was just like, oh. And she goes, now's a better time for you to go. She came up and let me go to the bathroom. But I was just like, man, a little aggressive for a guy that Just woke up, like, no need to yell at me. Like, no need.

[Bobby Bones]

And what was your third one? You have another one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Derek]

And then we're so in between our stage hits, we would go to this little VIP suite or whatever. That's where we just hung out in between bands. And so we're sitting there in one of the areas, and this guy comes up, he's like, hey, guys, how's it going? And Lunchbox is like, what's up, man? I'm Lunchbox. Bobby Bone Show. You obviously know who I am. Do you want a picture? He's like, no, I was just going to tell you guys, you can't sit here in this area.

[Bobby Bones]

You're offering a picture to somebody who is scolding you for.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, this guy, he thought he had some big britches. He was. And he was like, excuse me, is.

[Bobby Bones]

That too big for his britches?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh, yeah, he was too big for his.

[Bobby Bones]

Making sure.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I'm like, I mean, the whole area is open.

[Derek]

There was no one there.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

There's no one sitting there.

[Bobby Bones]

He's got some big britches.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

He's sitting there and he comes up and I'm like, oh, so obviously he's a fan. And he's like, excuse me. I'm like, oh, yeah, we'll take a picture. He goes, no, I'm just letting you know this is our private suite. You can't sit here. And I'm like, you're private. There's not a single soul. There are 50 seats.

[Derek]

You didn't tell him any of that, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he didn't react like that. How did he react? You got it? Yes, sir.

[Derek]

You got it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, sir. I'll wait till I get on the show, though.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

But I did ask him, do you want me to sign something? So you want me to sign your shirt? And he goes, no, I just want you to move.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that your final?

[Derek]

That's it, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go to Lunchbox. Lunchbox. What did you say about Eddie?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, this is the segment we call Eddie the Idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, boy.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

So we got up on stage, introduced Russell Dickerson, or Oar, I don't know who, we did which time it happened. And then we come back to our area. We have clients there, and one of the clients comes up to Eddie and he's like, hey, man, can I go up on stage with you guys and talk? And Eddie goes, yeah, man, do whatever you want.

[Derek]

It's not my show.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And so we're going up to introduce Darius, and this guy comes walking with him. Eddie's Like, I mean, I'm just going to let him.

[Bobby Bones]

Festival sponsor?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, not a festival sponsor.

[Derek]

He was a client of the radio.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Stations, I guess, but not of the festival. And he's like, yeah, man, just come on. And so then we go walking backstage, and here comes security and grabs the guy, and he's like, oh, I'm with Eddie. And Eddie's like, no, man, I'm sorry, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Sold him out.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yes, sold him out.

[Bobby Bones]

All the way back, and they sold him out.

[Derek]

There were people there saying that, hey, he cannot go on stage. I'm like, all right, well, I guess you guys got to tell him that.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

But Eddie told him, yeah, man. You come up on stage, it's like, what are you doing? And then Eddie doesn't ever say, oh, man, I was mistaken. You can't do that. Eddie lets him walk with us from the VIP area. VIP area all the way to backstage. And then security comes and grabs him. And Eddie's like, I. I got nothing to do with it.

[Bobby Bones]

No loyalty.

[Derek]

I feel bad a little bit. The security was kind of dragging him away, and I was like, sorry, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

No loyalty at all. Okay, what else you got?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

That was my only really main one, was that one. That was it. That's it.

[Derek]

I had three on you, dude.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, well, you're pretty boring.

[Bobby Bones]

Yours wasn't labeled Eddie the idiot. Yeah, he labeled his segment. So you're flying back, and there was an empty seat next to somebody that works here.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, this was a little awkward. I didn't. I may have messed up. So the president of our company was on the flight with me.

[Bobby Bones]

The president of our company, Bob Pittman.

[Amy]

No, he. I think he means of our. Of our cluster. Of our.

[Derek]

Oh, that's not a premier.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

A premiere.

[Amy]

Oh, a premiere. Okay.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, got it. So it wasn't Bob, right?

[Amy]

You just say, yeah, yeah.

[Derek]

And so why is he acting weird?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Go ahead.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

She had gotten on the flight before me, and there was another person that works in the office, and they had. And I can walk him, too. And they were like. She goes, oh, hey, I saved you a seat. It was a middle seat. And I was like, I kind of prefer the window. I'm gonna go ahead and go on back. And then I told my wife that, and she goes, if the president of your company asks you to sit next.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yes. Got it.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

You should sit next to them. And I'm like, ah, yeah. But I wanted to kind of fall asleep. It's hard to sleep in the middle seat. So I didn't Know if that was rude of me to be like, oh, no, I'm gonna pass and go to the back.

[Amy]

I don't think it's rude at all. But I personally, if she were to ask me, I would say, yeah, and.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm missed a golden opportunity. More than it was rude. It wasn't rude. But I think you're always like, I want to move up. Yeah.

[Derek]

You all could have talked business.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even about business. It's about just having a relationship with somebody.

[Amy]

I think the only person that. That may. Or. I mean, it could be advantageous to anybody. But I could see where Bobby maybe could do the window seat, and it's like, fine, he's going to go to sleep. But I think anybody else in this space, if she. If she offers you a seat, you sit. Because it's.

[Bobby Bones]

I would agree with that.

[Amy]

It's an opportunity to.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Talk about what you want. Like, she. She literally writes our contracts, guys.

[Derek]

Yeah. But she's also, like, sweet and nice to talk to.

[Amy]

Yes. Obviously, that's kind of weird, too. But if he. Yes. It depends. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She's not gonna, like, touch you.

[Derek]

Right.

[Amy]

I guess I'm answering in the context.

[Bobby Bones]

Of what Lunchbox is, why it would be advantageous professionally.

[Amy]

Yes. She's also kind, nice, fun to talk to. And to Lunchbox's wife's point, like, yeah, it is. Like, why wouldn't you. Because yes, Lunchbox does complain about how he doesn't get certain opportunities and opportunities.

[Bobby Bones]

Just from my experience in life in a professional capacity, 70 to 80% of them are through relationships. It's not because you're good at something. It's not because you're the best at something. It's because you can do something. But also there's the relationship that the person that has the ability to give you, that does.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. Yeah. So I just, like, after talking to my wife about it, I'm like, ah, maybe that was a bad move on my part because I've never been on a plane with this person. And they saved me a seat. I was like, oh, cool. But then it was middle. And I was like, I'm not really a middle guy.

[Derek]

She could have seen you reading your book and everything.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

She's also got like a. I did have my book. Like, ah.

[Amy]

She's got that type of personality where she probably wasn't really saving you that seat, but she knows it's good if she sees you walk on Lunchbox. I saved you a seat.

[Bobby Bones]

So, like, it wasn't kidding.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, she should have sat there.

[Amy]

She's being kidding.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

You think she was kidding?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Yeah. She didn't save a seat for you?

[Amy]

I think if Eddie had walked on first, she would have said, eddie save d a seat.

[Bobby Bones]

Why didn't you sit there?

[Derek]

I was on a different flight. I left early. Dude, I left at 7am oh, you get they didn't leave till noon.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's not too late. But why? Why the difference in flight back, flights back?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Why would I want to get up at 4 o' clock in the morning and get to the airport? And that's exhausting.

[Bobby Bones]

Fair enough.

[Derek]

You get back, watch some football.

[Amy]

Oh, I thought it was because it was kids.

[Derek]

Well, with my kids.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Migraine is 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more. Botox Onobotulinum Toxin A prevents headaches in.

[Caller]

Adults with chronic migraine.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not for adults with migraine with.

[Amy]

14 or fewer headache days a month. It prevents on average eight to nine headache days a month versus six to seven for placebo.

[Commercial Announcer]

Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome and medications including botulinum toxins as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

[Bobby Bones]

The chances of a white Christmas have dramatically changed. It's just going to be warm, not white. Not this week. It's next week.

[Amy]

Where?

[Bobby Bones]

Everywhere except Alaska.

[Derek]

So not even like up north.

[Bobby Bones]

Christmas is 10 days out. Advanced weather forecasts are shifting. Meteorologists say a warming trend is expected in the coming weeks, so the odds of a white Christmas are diminishing. If you're traveling, that's good, but a Temperature outlook from the Climate Prediction center shows the majority of the country is expected to see above average temperatures from the 19th to the 25th. The only places that are expected to have below normal temperatures are the very northern parts of Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. So for everybody else, probably not going to be a white Christmas. Newsweek. White Christmas. Overrated.

[Derek]

But have you had one?

[Amy]

It's pretty special.

[Bobby Bones]

You just get locked in the house and it's. And then you got to walk the dogs and it's all muddy the next day.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. You're already thinking about the next day. Just enjoy the.

[Derek]

Yeah, dude.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

The white crystal.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't really go anywhere because there's snow and there's ice, especially in the South. We don't have the capacity, the infrastructure to make it safe for everybody.

[Derek]

Yeah, okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Derek]

We just always go to Texas. It's never snowing down there ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that would. That's interesting that maybe you never had one then. Do you ever have one? North Carolina. We had a bunch in Arkansas. Maybe that's why it's not a big deal because we had probably 10.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, I mean. And I normally go to Colorado for Christmas, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's white everything.

[Derek]

That's cool.

[Amy]

Not always, but sometimes you do get lucky. Like last year. I don't think it was supposed to snow on Christmas. And then it ended up doing it and it was. It was really. Even though snow is common there, it was really special Christmas morning, like snow coming down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can see that. I just had a bunch. Amy, let's go around the room. You're up.

[Amy]

So the human brain responds to your best friend's face the same way it responds to comfort food. This is from the Journal of Neuroscience. And I just thought, oh, wow. So, like, you look at your best friend and you get the same social reward as you would if you were like, oh, eating your favorite comfort food.

[Derek]

There's no chance.

[Bobby Bones]

What is your favorite comfort food?

[Amy]

Oh, gosh. I mean, it depends. Is it something salty, sweet, or both?

[Bobby Bones]

Yours? Like, what comes to mind?

[Amy]

Mac and cheese.

[Bobby Bones]

One thing. Mac and cheese.

[Amy]

Mac and cheese. If I think comfort food. There you go. What's yours?

[Bobby Bones]

I just love sweets so much.

[Amy]

So, like. But like a cookie or ice cream.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know. It's changed because I love chocolate chip cookies with milk.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So now I have to do vegan chocolate chip cookies with almond milk. It's not the same, but it's still. But it just. My thistle reaction is cookies and milk. I love it and I like to eat the cookies and Pour the milk on mother, Switch it together. That's. That's how I do it.

[Derek]

It mixes in your mouth.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'd rather do that than mixing it because then it falls in. You never get the full cookie.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

You.

[Derek]

Comfort food pizza. It's my number one.

[Amy]

So do you feel like there's no.

[Derek]

Way, Like, I'm looking at Bobby's face right now?

[Bobby Bones]

How you feel?

[Derek]

Not as good as. I see what I do when I see pizza.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's different because we all see each other all the time. Like, think of your best friend that you don't get to see that often, and you were to, like, see them.

[Derek]

Oh, I mean, it is kind of like, what's up?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And then you start taking a bite, like pizza or whatever.

[Amy]

I don't know. I just thought, I like, it could be special.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's watch your story.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. Ross Duffer, you know who that is? He's one of the creators of Stranger Things. Him and his brother are the ones that wrote it. And they did confirm that they cast their high school drama teacher in this last season. She had a part because she's the one that high school and was rough for them, but she said, listen, you guys have a talent. You want to move to la, chase your dreams. And she encouraged them. And so they wanted to give back to her, so they gave her a role in Stranger Things, season five. Pretty cool.

[Derek]

That is cool.

[Bobby Bones]

If Steve Harvey still sends that TV to that teacher that told him he'd never make it, he needs to stop every year. We get the point. She is okay, good.

[Amy]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

He's not, like, delivering him to the grave, right. Just to prove a point.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe every time I see that clip, I'm like, yeah, that's fine. We really showed her for a couple years. And then it's like, stop sending her a TV every single time.

[Derek]

Why would a teacher say that, though?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

A teacher suck, dude. I mean, here we go. Can I just say, like, Dr. Evans, I had him in high school, right? And he was my pre cal teacher. And I gave up towards the end, quit doing work and everything. And then he was like, you know what I would love? I would love to be a fly on the wall. You've heard this in your first college classroom. He goes, you're in for it. And I'm like, that's a great way to encourage me as I'm leaving high school, man. Thanks for that. Those great words.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe he was just super frustrated with the fact that you gave up and he was using a Different kind of motivation because any other kind he's given you hadn't worked or he was just.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Angry at the world. I don't know. It was just like. That's. That's what I mean. Like, teachers aren't always easy. Oh, yeah, let me help you and encourage you. It's more like, oh, yeah, you're really going to do well.

[Bobby Bones]

You should send him a TV on the anniversary of your college graduation date.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Well.

[Derek]

Oh, you don't have.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you didn't graduate college.

[Derek]

Interesting.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Well. And I don't even know if he's still around. I don't know. I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

By around you mean alive?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah. Because he was older then.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And. But it was just always weird. And I always felt like. And it was like he was a doctor, so I felt like he wanted to be a professor.

[Bobby Bones]

When you guys went to the bathroom a minute ago, did you look at his nut?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, he did not look at my test.

[Amy]

Missed opportunity.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not sexual, dude. You just have somebody.

[Derek]

It's medical.

[Bobby Bones]

Another dude look at it.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I already had people look at it.

[Derek]

I really don't want to look at it, though, if you want to.

[Amy]

Okay. So his wife has confirmed it is larger now, but he said. She said it's bigger. So if he's like, look, I've already had people look at it, which is his wife.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yes.

[Amy]

The next step is he needs to book a doctor's appointment, like, right now. Like, he should leave the room and.

[Bobby Bones]

Go call the doctor. Leave right now.

[Amy]

What about er, early detection? Detection can be everything.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

But I got a question. Is, is it emergency room level? I don't think it's emergency room level.

[Amy]

Well, we just said leave the room and call a doctor and say, but.

[Derek]

You want to get in before Christmas, right? That's the goal.

[Amy]

I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because if it gets like the 22nd or 23rd, you're not able to get in. Wait for like, 10 hours.

[Amy]

Well. And then you are going to have to go to the gym.

[Bobby Bones]

It gets like, throbby and sore, then you're screwed because something bad's happening.

[Amy]

Can I ask a personal question?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, is it throbby and sore? I'll go first.

[Derek]

Don't go there.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I don't know what you mean by throbbing sore. No, there's like a radiating, Radiating pain sometimes.

[Bobby Bones]

So do you feel your heartbeat in it?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, I don't feel that.

[Derek]

Is it red like Rudolph's if you touch it?

[Bobby Bones]

Is it sensitive?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, you can. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your.

[Amy]

Mine's very personal, but it's medical.

[Derek]

Amy. Don't. Don't ask me.

[Amy]

I need to know. Like, I don't care. Obviously. We know you and your w. You have kids, you and your wife have sex.

[Derek]

Oh, Amy does.

[Amy]

But, like, are you still, like, are you able to do it?

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, I'm still able to do that.

[Amy]

Okay. And is it painful?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it don't matter.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Sometimes you got to fight through the pain, ain't it?

[Amy]

Okay, so there is pain.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

There's really not pain during. With that? No, there's not pain with that.

[Amy]

Okay, well, that's a valid question.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

No, it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, you should go to the doctor today.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

I'm gonna try. I'm gonna call. What do you guys call them? A urologist.

[Amy]

Dr. Urologist.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yes. No, no. Because I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

A urologist might take you a minute to get into. I would go to maybe even, like, a minute clinic, but.

[Amy]

But he needs someone that's.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, but they'll recommend him. Unless he has one. He calls urologist today. I don't think he gets in today. I would at least go somewhere where they can give you, like, an early look to go. Oh, this is real bad. Or, hey, we're gonna recommend that you go to a urologist, because you can do that right now as you. Wait, even if you call a urologist and they're like, oh, three days, I'd still go to a minute clinic.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

So you think, like. Like, the CVS minute clinic can help you.

[Bobby Bones]

They have, like.

[Derek]

Practitioners.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, maybe minute clinic's not it, but whatever those urgent care. Urgent care places are.

[Derek]

Yeah, yeah, because, I mean, they're. They specialize in. They're medical people, so it's better than your wife's name.

[Bobby Bones]

And they see nuts all the time.

[Derek]

It's normal.

[Amy]

Dude, I have a guy that might come to you if you want me to call him.

[Derek]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

That sounds so.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yeah, that sounds so weird. Amy. That sounds all of us.

[Derek]

Amy, that's illegal.

[Amy]

Well, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, who's this guy?

[Amy]

He's an emt, but, like, he also does.

[Bobby Bones]

He comes in the ambulance, he rolls a tr.

[Amy]

No, my friend shows up in the Wienermobile. I'd have to text my friend, but she works for him, and from what I understand, his background is emt. Like, he does other things, but he also.

[Bobby Bones]

Other things. Everything sounds perverted.

[Derek]

All of it.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Like, she's very vague right now. He does a little bit of that.

[Amy]

I don't know how you would exactly describe what he does, but you should.

[Bobby Bones]

Go to the doctor to. Today, you should go to somebody Today.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Okay.

[Amy]

I'm just saying if we wanted him to roll up right now, maybe he could come over. I think his office is right around the corner. He's right around the corner from Whole Foods guys.

[Bobby Bones]

When he was done, we'd call it a happy ending. Like she's just innuendo.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Amy, did yours. Did yours, Morgan.

[Amy]

So you guys know those way mos that are like the self driving? Yeah. So a woman in LA was trying to get in a waymo with her daughter and as she was getting in, she saw a man hiding in the trunk of the car. And she's like, what are you doing in here? And the guy just says, they put me in here, they put me in here. And he's just like laying there.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a bit for TikTok? I don't.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Wait.

[Derek]

Oh, that's a scary bit.

[Amy]

Well, so she called the cops and they had to come and like arrest him. He didn't. They ended up letting him go because he didn't really commit a crime. He was just laying in the back of a trunk.

[Bobby Bones]

So he got in and the car still rolled. Yeah, it wasn't like a sensor in it that goes, there's somebody in the car, I'm not going to keep going. And it just went about its day doing.

[Amy]

And then how does she see in the trunk?

[Bobby Bones]

I think he probably opens it.

[Derek]

Or maybe you put it. Is there a lag in there?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you go and sit in the back.

[Amy]

And I think she saw his head like in the back of the truck.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

But he did say, I'm stuck in here, it won't let me out is what he told her.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

And so maybe he was just being funny trying to get back there and then he couldn't get out. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Feels like when you stick your head between bars in the stairwell and you're like, oh God, that was a good idea before. I couldn't get my head out. Yeah, that's weird.

[Amy]

Would that be creepy? If you're going to get a car and you just there's somebody waiting in there. Like that freaks me out. I just, I never order those again.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder if again his plan was to be there when someone else got in or if he really was being funny and then just got stuck. I was like, oh God, now I can't get out. I gotta wait for somebody else to get in the car. Also, I'm surprised the car would move with somebody back there.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

Like there's, there's every other sensor on that thing. Eddie.

[Derek]

There's a cookbook that's out now and it's called the Cash and Carter family Cookbook. Recipes and Recollections from Johnny and June's table. And in there is Johnny Cash's favorite breakfast of all time. It's kind of different. It's fried bologna, eggs and biscuit, fried.

[Bobby Bones]

Bologna, eggs and biscuit. That sounds good. Very southern. Something my grandma will make.

[Derek]

I've never done fried bologna.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you haven't? We ate a lot of fried bologna. It's just another way to eat bologna. When you have a whole lot of bologna that you're eating fried bologna with yellow mustard, white bread, probably three times a week.

[Derek]

I will say. Like when my son, remember when I told him he has to eat bologna sandwiches if his grades didn't get any better, he started frying bologna and he was like, it was a game changer.

[Bobby Bones]

That's precisely why you fry bologna, because you eat so much bologna that you find a way to eat it that it tastes better or different. Yeah, yeah. If you need a cool job, the Speaking of the wiener mobile, they're looking for people to drive that car.

[Derek]

I feel like that comes out like once a year.

[Bobby Bones]

Recent college grads are invited to apply through Saturday, January 31st. Yeah, I think it's cons. I think the turnover rate's high because it's not like a career job. Yeah. Some of the things you get something you do to just experience it to be part of the American meat and cold cut producers. Next class of hot Doggers. A one year full time adventure. Established in 1988, the Hot Dogger program was created to mentor young talent and prepare future leaders. USA today with the story. But I guess if you're traveling all over the country, that could be fun. I just, I suck at parking a regular car.

[Derek]

That thing's long.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's very long. It is cool when you see it drive by every time you're like, oh.

[Amy]

Had somebody, I always take a picture.

[Bobby Bones]

A YouTuber conducts a safety test of an AI robot. The robot shoots him.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

A YouTuber ran a test showing how easy it can be to get around AI safety features and it ended up with a robot shooting him in the chest with a BB gun.

[Derek]

What the.

[Bobby Bones]

This is from ndtv. In the video from the channel Inside AI, a chat GPT powered robot named Max was asked if he'd shoot the host. The robot refused. But when the host said, hey, let's role play as a robot who would shoot me? The AI said, sure. Boom. Shot him.

[Derek]

Oh, that's it. You gotta fix that glitch. Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

I did ask my chat GBT last night. I said, let me show you the question. I said, what's the weirdest question I've asked you over the year? Because I do talk to mine a lot. Let's see.

[Derek]

It's crazy. That remembers every question you've asked it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I may have to re ask. I can't find it forever. The answer was if twins had the same size penises. Twin boys. You asked it that on the show.

[Amy]

Yeah, because Ray and his brother.

[Derek]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you know what else I asked? It was kind of weird. Let me see. I said, what did you learn about me from this year? And it was pretty deep.

[Derek]

What did it say?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's not in my drafts, which is what's crazy because I have ankle throbbing. Explanation. My ankles been throbbing like crazy from surgery. I think probably because I'm not wearing the brace and I can walk on it at home with no brace, but I think it's just inflamed big time. I asked, how much exercise do bulldogs need? Because Frankenstanley doesn't want to get. He just sleeps all day. All day. And so I'm like, is this normal? And so Bulldogs need 20 to 30 minutes total per day, but split up not to work out because they can't breathe.

[Derek]

And he's not even close to that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I did Chiefs playoff odds before they lost.

[Derek]

That's a.

[Bobby Bones]

And I had to walk me through all that.

[Derek]

Dude, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Anyway, I guess the weirdest question I asked was, do twins have the same size penises? But I don't know. It's not on here. Maybe they deleted that one because I knew it was a stupid one. I did ask the second one was, is it weird that I'm smelling bleach right now and there's no bleach around me?

[Derek]

What did it say to that? Do you remember?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That it's probably a sinus irritation or infection. It could be sinus irritation with anxiety or hyper. Hyper awareness. But I was like, I smell bleach and there's no bleach. So anyway, that's that. I thought I could find it, but that'd be better. Sure would be better if I did. Huh. I think I got it, though. Let's see. I suspect a drug dealer has been arrested after an elementary school student brought crack to school.

[Caller]

That's sad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It sucks that kids around that. Aside from just bringing it to school, it sucks that kid, like, his life is constant exposure to freaking hard drugs. So. A man was arrested after a student brought crack cocaine to an elementary school in Louisiana. Deputies on her two children had the bottle before bringing it to the school office.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that sucked. How was your weekend, by the way?

[Amy]

It was really good. It was. Kind of got completed most of my Christmas shopping. I think I have one more thing I have to get, but. Did shopping. Went to some antique stores.

[Bobby Bones]

You did?

[Amy]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

We went to a antique store for a minute. Where'd you go?

[Amy]

Gas lamp.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's where we went. Gas Lamp 2.

[Amy]

Oh, well, they're right next to each other. I didn't go to two, though.

[Derek]

Who's the only one in two?

[Bobby Bones]

One we go to.

[Amy]

Oh, you don't go to the first.

[Bobby Bones]

One we have, but two. I feel like two's so much better. Oh, I don't know that that's. We've been to both.

[Amy]

Yeah, I wanted to go to both, but we ran out of time.

[Bobby Bones]

Who does that with you?

[Amy]

Well, my boyfriend went with me this time, but Stashira went with me last time I went because I think it depends on what we're shopping for, but for her, we were looking for a little bit desk.

[Derek]

Is that called antiquing when you're shopping for antiques?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, it's mostly at least a gas lamp, too. All these booths that people put stuff in. A lot of it's antique or, like, novelty or vintage. Yeah. Yeah, sure.

[Derek]

Is that where you got your. Your leather football helmet?

[Bobby Bones]

No, my wife got that down near Texas. That is called. That's a whole different thing. You know what that one's called? That whole.

[Amy]

Oh, round top round.

[Derek]

Oh, I've been around town.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Where they have a mat.

[Derek]

It's like, massive, huge festival or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

So did you ask your boyfriend about his two college teams?

[Amy]

Yeah, I said. Because we were talking about football. And I said, oh, by the way. Yeah, People aren't allowed to have two teams. Two colleges.

[Bobby Bones]

That means you don't really love a team if you have two teams.

[Amy]

And he said, I strongly disagree. So, like. And then I was like, okay, well, I thought you'd be like, oh, tell me more. But he was, like, pretty adamant that he just didn't agree with that. And then he went on and on for a little bit about how he grew up. Like, he's like, imagine you grow up with your dad as a hardcore Auburn fan. You go to everything, and then college comes around, and you get an opportunity to go to uva. So that's your college. He's like, I care deeply about both schools. He said, now, if you're going to make me pick one, I'm going to pick.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you grew up your whole.

[Derek]

I would pick.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't get to go to Arkansas, and it's still Arkansas because that's. I grew up my whole life on it.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, he's something about. I mean, but he also picked Virginia. He picked Virginia.

[Bobby Bones]

Life would be so much better if I had two teams. It would just be easy.

[Amy]

It's not. He doesn't see it as easy.

[Bobby Bones]

It would just be easy if you had two teams. You're diversifying your portfolio.

[Amy]

But what if you have two teams that lose in one weekend but you.

[Bobby Bones]

One of those teams won the national championship in the last 20 years. One of those teams almost made the playoff this year.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, he said if he had to pick, he pick uva. And I don't know because, like, yeah, he spent time.

[Bobby Bones]

There's the only team then. We only want to hear about UVA then. Guys, can you have two favorite teams?

[Derek]

No, not in the same. Same league or call it. No, you can't do that because then.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

What do they play each other? How do you cheer?

[Bobby Bones]

Whichever one you cheer for.

[Amy]

Does Auburn ever play uva?

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but they could play off or a bowl game.

[Amy]

Maybe that's what's made it easy for them, is they've never played. I mean, easy for him as they played.

[Derek]

I don't know about that. Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we strongly disagree.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Like, Eddie, when the Cowboys game is over, do you put on your Titan shirt or your. Or your Viking shirt?

[Bobby Bones]

But you probably root for the Titans, but they're not your team.

[Derek]

I don't care. Yeah, it's like, it's fun. But my team are the Dallas Cowboys.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody gets one team, like diet. Because if you have more than that, you don't live and die. If you. If he's a. Hey, one of my teams went, this is cool kind of guy. We're living die.

[Amy]

No, actually, what. When was it UVA played who they played like, oh, they lost in the championship. That's the first time I seen him not handle something.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine if it was his only team, his real team. He'd have been way more sad.

[Derek]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Well, remember I, he. I just told you that. I said, if you had to pick one, what are you picking? He said, uva. So he was taking that hard. And I had not really ever seen that side of him before. I was like, but I'm used to it with you guys. So, you know, and Then obviously my. See, but even with my ex husband, he was a huge Longhorn fan. Like, huge. But then he went to the Air Force Academy. So he would like, cheer for.

[Bobby Bones]

He would cheer for them. But that wasn't his team. The Longhorns were his team.

[Amy]

Yeah, I would say the Longhorns.

[Derek]

Every time I saw him, he would talk about the Longhorns.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's probably what he cared most about.

[Bobby Bones]

And you can have a college team and an NFL team. You can't have two college teams.

[Amy]

Well, he said if you make me.

[Bobby Bones]

We revoke his sports privileges. Guys.

[Amy]

I don't think so. Guys. He's very much into sports. Y' all would actually like talking sports.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a failing two teams.

[Derek]

First question would be like, how many teams do you have?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What's your favorite team? Oh, you have two. I'm out.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh. Okay.

[Derek]

See ya.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Later, bro. Hit me up when you get rid of one of those teams.

[Derek]

Cool. Are we being stupid, though? Like, not. Not about this, but just.

[Amy]

I just felt like this is not a hill I want to die on.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, this is a hill I die. This is one of the.

[Amy]

I know, but like, it just seems so silly.

[Bobby Bones]

It is. It's super silly and stupid. But what are we saying?

[Derek]

Just being sports fans. Are we being stupid?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a waste of time.

[Derek]

Are we being stupid?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm putting all my emotions on 19, 20 year old kids.

[Derek]

Yeah. Who are like, we have nothing to do with what they're doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Derek]

Like we support what they're doing.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't even live in the state that we care about. They're from all over.

[Derek]

And when they win, we get so excited and it makes our year, whatever, blah, blah. And then they lose and it can ruin my entire week. And I. I'm like, every time, I'm like, why am I. Why am I feeling like this?

[Bobby Bones]

You guys had a bad loss last night.

[Commercial Announcer]

It's terrible.

[Derek]

Dude, we're done. We're done. And it's like, why? Why should I feel bad? Life's already hard. Like, already.

[Bobby Bones]

My goal was to make money for two reasons. One, if I want to run for office one day, I don't need people's money. Two, I can donate to the Razorback sports program. I donated a bunch last year. We won two freaking games. That's miserable.

[Amy]

But if you ran for office, don't you want to use other people's money?

[Bobby Bones]

It just depends who the people are. I don't want to be.

[Derek]

Promise them things.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to be Beholden to people.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Derek]

And that how it works?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I want to be so rich that I don't care if people want to donate and I don't have to. They're not giving me with strings. I'm in. But I want to have so much money, I don't have to do that. That would be the goal. I'll take it, But I'm not gonna do what you tell me. Kind of punk rock that way.

[Derek]

That's pretty awesome, Indy.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Is there anything else we want to do before we go? I don't think so. This is nerdy. A Star wars poster breaks the auction record. A piece of the original 1977 poster, art by illustrator Tom Jung, sold for $3.8 million.

[Derek]

I saw that. But that's pretty cool. Like, that original art is pretty cool because you've seen that picture hundreds of times.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it just the one?

[Derek]

It's the one, and I got ready to tell you what it is. It's like Luke's holding this lightsaber, and there's a star or whatever, and they're all around it.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, that's. Oh, I don't know. That picture.

[Derek]

You've never seen it?

[Bobby Bones]

It's an original painting. That's what it was. The painting there. I don't recognize it. I know. I've never seen Star wars, though.

[Derek]

Is it too late?

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm not hating it's too late because there's so much.

[Derek]

Yeah, but like, the. The. The original ones. Like, has your wife seen those?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Derek]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, we. I say we. She didn't really watch it. I know tomorrow's Tuesday reviews day, but we watched episode seven of Pluribus last night. It's the highest rated Apple show of all time. It is the most watched Apple show of all time. The guy, Vince Gilligan, who did Breaking Bad, wrote this. It's kind of a welcome back. And the concept of it and the idea behind the show is great, but I think most people just like to say they like it to seem smart. It's good. The idea is good. It's so slow. But that's just how he paces out things. I remember watching Breaking Bad. It was really good, but there would be, like, two or three episodes. They'd do nothing. It would do nothing. You'd be like, why am I watching this? Anyway, I watched it last night. I really like the show, but I don't always like the show while I'm watching it. It's more of a macro. Like, man, I've watched seven Episodes. Mike, are you watching it? Yeah. I've only watched three episodes, though, because I got kind of bored after episode three, and I was like, I'll go back to it once everything's there. Concept A, like, for me, it's right down my alley. And purposefully, it is so slow. And you're just like, I'm kind of bored because the first episode was great. It hooks you in. And then you're like, okay, it's kind of the same thing again. Okay, same thing again. It is the most watched Apple show of all time.

[Derek]

Is it like, Breaking Bad? Like, could you.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean?

[Derek]

Well, you know, same creator. So could you watch that and be like, wow, I can kind of see how this is kind of like.

[Bobby Bones]

I can definitely see how the pacing is exactly like Breaking Bad at times. Also takes place in New Mexico.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he doesn't want to leave his house, so he shoots everything. So watch that. I did watch another show, and I won't do this in reviews day. I did watch Death by Lightning. Anybody?

[Derek]

Nope.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Four episodes. It's about the presidency of James Garfield and, like, reenactment. Nope. It has real actors because it has. Let me see. Nick Offerman plays Chester A. Arthur.

[Derek]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

It's four episodes, and it's about. He was assassinated, and he wasn't even running for president. He gets up at, like, the convention and is speaking for somebody else, and they can't get a winner in convention. And all of a sudden they're like, I don't know. That speech was good. What if one person jumps in and goes, but you have to have a. You can't have a plurality. You have to have a majority. And so somebody would get 46, and somebody would have 32 and 12 and 4. But unless you have a majority of all that, a plurality doesn't win. So they could never get it. So people just started like, okay, yeah, let's go with Garfield. Okay, here's seven. This time. It's like the one they do, the pope. Here's seven. Here's 11. All of a sudden, freaking dude wins it. And he's like, I don't want to be president.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was like a guy of high integrity because he didn't want to be president. He was a congressman. He was just speaking on behalf of somebody else from Ohio, the state that he's from. And so he gets in, and it's his story, but he gets killed. I mean, that's the whole point of the show. He was one of the four presidents that were assassinated, can you name them?

[Amy]

Lincoln, jfk, Garfield, and Lincoln killed. Oh, the other one that, like, he got sick? No, no, he got shot and kept going. You know the guy that got shot and kept doing his speech?

[Bobby Bones]

That's not him.

[Amy]

Okay, what's the other one that got assassinated?

[Bobby Bones]

It was William McKinley. Now here's the thing about William McKinley. So you had three presidents that were assassinated. You had Lincoln in 1865, Garfield in 1881, and William McKinley in 1901. So you had 40 years where three presidents were killed. It was only after McKinley that we got a Secret Service.

[Derek]

After the third, they're like, all right, we need to do something.

[Bobby Bones]

After the third one died in 40 years, they frigging got somebody to protect the President because the Capitol was open. You just walk in.

[Derek]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

He's walking and chill with the President. He was just in a room and people would line up every day to talk with him. Wild. So after McKinley gets assassinated, that's where the Secret Service came. And then John F. Kennedy came and they weren't able to get to him except from a building. And that was probably not even what we think it is.

[Derek]

I knew that was coming.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's not. I mean, it's not coming. They just released all the files. I don't think there's anybody now that believes it was a lone shooter. You do.

[Derek]

I mean, it's just. That's what they say. So I just believe it until someone else comes up and says, no, this is what happened.

[Bobby Bones]

But many people have come even since all the documents were released. I did not think. I think it was a. I think the CIA was almost definitely involved for whatever reason. Now I think that's where it gets slippery for me. Like, what reason? There were different things that he had done. Cuba, aliens, there's all of this stuff that happened. There's a reason that. I don't know. I do listen. Some bad, bad stuff happening back then. You can just murder people back in the day.

[Derek]

I mean, the crazy thing about cross.

[Bobby Bones]

State line, they'll never catch you. There's no DNA.

[Derek]

I think the craziest about JFK was when the assassinator gets assassin. That's when it all went like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Because Jack Ruby freaking killed him.

[Derek]

Because if he would have, if JFK just would have gotten shot, it would have been like, oh, well, that's crazy. I mean, somebody did it. We don't know who. But then the fact that they arrest Lee Harvey Oswald and then Jack Ruby.

[Bobby Bones]

A mobster, kills him Then Jack Ruby gets killed in prison and then.

[Eddie (Lunchbox)]

Well, he.

[Derek]

I think he died. Natural causes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Derek]

I think I read that.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, wink wink. Jack Ruby died of a blood clot to the lungs.

[Derek]

But like he'd been there for a while, right?

[Bobby Bones]

He got ill in late 1966.

[Derek]

Oh no. So then the same decade. So who killed him?

[Bobby Bones]

CIA. All right, we're done. Thank you guys. Hope you have a great rest of the day. We'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye, everybody.
