Oh yeah, I never had one. But like people that had like real jobs had blackberries with buttons on it and it wasn't a touchscreen. Then everything started being a touchscreen and they didn't adjust and so they lost. BlackBerry dominated, but when the iPhone came, they did not pivot. That comes in at number 10. Number nine, worst business mistakes ever. Me investing with Lunchbox, it's pretty bad. That's all time. It made it and made it at number nine.
Lunchbox
That's a little. You got 87% return. I don't know what you want.
Amy Brown
Over two years I made $11.
Lunchbox
But that is more than 87% return is more than you make.
Amy Brown
It didn't make the list. You can't do percentages because you could do $1 on $1 and be like you made more than the stock market. Number nine, MySpace loses to Facebook. MySpace just did not get better. Facebook did. They had new tools. MySpace refused to use any of those Tools you're going to see a lot of this is lack of, not just innovation, but lack of following others that are innovating in the same area. Number eight, Nokia chooses Windows over Android. So they had to choose an operating system and Nokia went with Windows Mobile instead of Android and there is no Windows Mobile now.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow.
Eddie
Oh, that hurt.
Amy Brown
Yeah. They get much more known too. Number seven, Toys R Us partners with Amazon and then sues them to Toys R Us. Outsourced their online sales to Amazon, then sued them when Amazon sold toys from other vendors. They lost momentum never caught up, filed for bankruptcy. The end. Number six, the new Coke disaster. In 1985, Coca Cola changed its classic formula, thinking people wanted something sweeter. Massive backlash. They completely cut their losses after 79 days. It's still studied in marketing classes today.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Whose idea was that?
Eddie
He no longer works with me.
Lunchbox
I don't think they're there anymore.
Eddie
He's not there anymore.
Amy Brown
Number five, Decca Records rejects the Beatles.
Eddie
Oh, that's tough.
Amy Brown
Decca said guitar groups, on the way out signed another act instead. The Beatles became the biggest band ever. Decca became the group that passed over the Beatles. That's what you know them for. Number four, Quibi. Amy, what's that say? Quibi, what do you think that is?
Bobby Bones
No idea.
Amy Brown
So quibi raised almost $2 billion and their whole thing was they were doing every bit of content for phones. Shorter. It wasn't something you watch on Netflix. It would also be fitted to the phone and the shows were only 10 minutes long. But it launched right when Covid hit it shut down in six months. Super expensive flop. I think if it launched right now, it'd be massively successful. But timing is as much as what you're actually doing. So quibi fails. Number three, Google could have been bought by Yahoo for $1 million.
Bobby Bones
Wow. No way.
Amy Brown
Google offered to sell their search engine and the tech to Yahoo for 1 million. Yahoo passed. Google is now worth 1 trillion. Yahoo bought by Verizon for pennies on the dollar. Number two, Kodak in 1975 invents the digital camera and then is like, this isn't going to work. Ignored it. Ignored their own invention. Kodak has an engineer that invents the first digital camera, but then puts it on a shelf and says, hey, don't worry about it because we want to protect the film business. Then digital photography exploded. Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012.
Eddie
And that guy's like, I told you so.
Amy Brown
No, that guy's the one who put it away.
Eddie
He's the one that Invented it?
Amy Brown
Yeah. So. Well, he invents it and they.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Amy Brown
They put it away. I don't know that he specifically is the one that was like, no, you can't use my invention. But like, they were their own demise there. It wasn't like somebody came in and outdid them, but they invented it and then didn't use it. Do you know, number one, think about it, Amy. What's the worst massive business mistake? You've heard this a hundred times.
Bobby Bones
I have, yeah. Huh.
Amy Brown
It has to do with content.
Bobby Bones
Content. Oh, TikTok.
Amy Brown
Blockbuster declines to buy Netflix.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Blockbuster, Netflix. You're right. I've heard it a hundred times.
Amy Brown
Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix for 50 million bucks. Blockbuster laughed. Netflix is now worth hundreds of billions. Blockbuster, bankruptcy, 2010. And don't forget the great Lunchbox Bobby investment debacles.
Eddie
That was the number nine.
Amy Brown
Yeah, it was a number nine.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
There was a tie for number nine. So we had 11, actually. So there you go. There you have it. Thoughts?
Bobby Bones
I just, you know, I wonder. I wish those people, maybe they do talk about it. I just haven't heard it. But it's like each person that was a part of all those decisions, that'd be a great, like, just gather them all. I hope they're okay and share their side. Like, yeah, what's life been like? Or what was it for you? How have you recovered?
Amy Brown
Are you okay? Have you recovered? Who I think of is the guy from Apple that sold his stock way early on.
Bobby Bones
Do we know his name?
Amy Brown
We do, but only because we know his name because he's the guy that sold the stock. It wasn't like Wozniak or Steve Jobs. It was the.
Bobby Bones
The other guy.
Amy Brown
Ronald Wayne.
Bobby Bones
Ronald Wayne.
Eddie
And what's he up to?
Amy Brown
He was Apple's third co founder. He sold his 10% stake in the company for $800.
Eddie
Oh, my God.
Amy Brown
After just 12 days? No. He was concerned about personal liability for company debts, so he sold his shares back to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak again. $800, Ronald.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
But then what is he. Okay, see, that's what I want to know.
Amy Brown
But then what? He's the guy. He's. He's Pete Best.
Eddie
You know, Pete Best is Amy, the.
Amy Brown
Original drummer of the Beatles before Ringo Star replaced him.
Bobby Bones
I do know that. Okay. Okay.
Lunchbox
But didn't Best have a career after that? Any. He's not the.
Amy Brown
Who. Ryan Dunkelman? No.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. American Idol with Ryan Seacrest.
Amy Brown
Ryan Dunman chose to leave American Idol. They didn't fire him.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Amy Brown
They.
Bobby Bones
Their plan was to have two host.
Amy Brown
Well, they did have two hosts for a year. And that show traditionally in every other country had two hosts.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
And Dun was like, I don't want to be known as the guy that does the the. And so he left.
Bobby Bones
And then Ryan was like, okay, cool.
Amy Brown
I'll do it all and I'll do everything else and I'll have all the money, please. So, yeah, what's our. What do we learn here? Hindsight's 2020 and you really don't know what was happening.
Bobby Bones
You never know.
Amy Brown
You never know. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
You never know.
Amy Brown
Let's go. Get your bones on. Get your Bobby bones on. I think it's a grandma tale, but my grandma used to say it too. Like, if you eat local honey, that helps allergies. It doesn't.
Bobby Bones
What? No, it does.
Amy Brown
It doesn't.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy Brown
What? No, I deep dove it because Eddie's doing it now and he was talking about it.
Eddie
Well, I felt like Amy, first of all, because I swear Amy said this at some point during the show.
Bobby Bones
I'm sure I did.
Amy Brown
I'd heard for 20 years too, though. My grandma used to say this. Eat local honey because it comes from local bees and your pollen. If you're allergic to pollen, it'll help that kind of thing. Right.
Eddie
And I've been tricked before where I go to the grocery store and it says local honey, but I found out that that was the name of the brand.
Amy Brown
That's hilarious.
Eddie
And when you look at the bottom, it says New York, New York.
Amy Brown
The name local honey is the greatest trick of a brand name ever.
Eddie
Yes. So don't get caught on that. But I was driving in this neighborhood. There were signs all over. It said, local honey sale today. I was like, I'm gonna do it. $15 for a little bottle. And sure enough, the bees were right there. Like, they had the little enclosed area with boxes, bees going, wow. So, I mean, it's as local as.
Amy Brown
Being the ultimate sales prop. Bring in the actual bees. Now, I'm not saying they're lying. That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Obviously they were smart.
Lunchbox
Did it help your allergies?
Eddie
I mean, I just started taking it last week.
Bobby Bones
It just says that the scientific evidence to support this claim is limited, but it doesn't mean it's.
Amy Brown
I went to three different AIs, so I went to Google AI, I went to Grok, and I went to Chat GPT because I like to cross reference my AIs, because most of the time they Align.
Eddie
What's the middle one? Gronk.
Amy Brown
Grok.
Bobby Bones
It's oh, he's an AI, not Gronk.
Eddie
That's what I thought you said.
Amy Brown
Grok. G, R, O K. Okay, so here is based on all three, it might help a little. Here's the real breakdown on whether local honey helps with allergies. And it's the most common reason people try it. This is what they claim. Eating local honey regularly may reduce seasonal allergy symptoms by exposing you to small amounts of local pollen, helping you build immunity or desensitizing your reaction. So by the way, I get allergy shots, but one allergy shot doesn't help. It's a full year.
Eddie
Oh, so I have to eat this for a whole year.
Amy Brown
And eating it is not going to do near as much as allergy because it is not. They haven't taken just the allergy allergen to put it in you. So studies suggest if done over years, there could possibly be a mild benefit. Clinical research does not support this. The pollen that causes most seasonal allergies, like ragweed or grass, is airborne and it's not the same as the pollen that bees collect to make honey. So eating honey may expose you to very, very little of the stuff you're allergic to, but not enough. Now they say when it might help. If your allergies are very, very mild and if the honey is truly raw and local over years, a teaspoon a day.
Bobby Bones
A teaspoon a day for years.
Eddie
That's a lot of honey.
Amy Brown
Because even with targeted allergens into my body.
Bobby Bones
Right. I've gotten shots too, so I know that helps me, but I still, still.
Amy Brown
Just when it won't help if your allergies are medium or severe and they're triggered at all by non flowering plants, mold or dust. If the honey is at all processed, if you expect it to be a quick fix, like less than a year, oh boy. Bottom line, local honey probably won't cure your allergies, but it can work as a placebo a bit.
Eddie
So like my body will just fake it and be like, yeah, I'm not feeling the allergies.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Eddie
I mean that's kind of allergy is tough to placebo though.
Amy Brown
It is, yeah.
Eddie
Because like if you got a sneeze, you sneeze.
Amy Brown
Yep. So it's just one of those grandma tales we've always heard.
Eddie
Dang it.
Amy Brown
Here are some science backed natural remedies. Number one, quercetin, which is a natural antihistamine and it's found in apples, onions and Broccoli. But you can also take it. Like, this is what I would suggest. And I may not be saying it right. Quercetin. But 500 milligrams, twice daily. This will do better than local honey.
Eddie
What did you say?
Amy Brown
Queer.
Eddie
Synten.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Queer sitin.
Bobby Bones
No, he's. When you say that.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Quercetin.
Eddie
Queer sitin.
Amy Brown
Almost like the word queer, except one E. See? Queer sitin.
Eddie
I didn't just hear that.
Bobby Bones
I didn't hear queer. I heard que.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Hey. My accent at times, but yeah. No, no, it's. If it makes you. If it helps you remember it, honestly, it's queer. But one less. E. Sitin. C, E, T, I, N. Okay. Butterbur extract.
Eddie
Okay, now we're talking. Butter.
Amy Brown
Nope, it's not butter. It's not butter.
Eddie
Cause I can eat butter.
Amy Brown
This is similar to Zyrtec or Allegra, but it's a plant. These are, again, just natural remedies. I find the more chemical, the better.
Eddie
Zyrtec.
Amy Brown
Just generally, I find the more chemical, the better. The other one's pronounced quercetin.
Eddie
Quercetin.
Amy Brown
But honestly, things. Like, I have to think of things to keep me. For example, the LSU football head coach. I think he's a total douche. Brian Kelly. And the reason I remember his name is because I also think the Brian Kelly's total douche at Florida Georgia Line. So that's how I keep those two. But that's my. That's how my mind works.
Eddie
Ward association.
Amy Brown
Yes. Oh, man. But that's an example. And I'm not.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
Amy Brown
I'm not, like, proclaiming anything. I'm just saying that's how my mind works. I have to remember things. And if it takes you to go queer. Satin.
Eddie
Yes.
Amy Brown
One lessee. Then go get that today.
Eddie
Yeah, but I asked for that. And say, like.
Amy Brown
No, no, no. But you don't say it like you're thinking it. You have to just remind yourself that's what it is.
Eddie
Okay. Man, I'm having trouble too. Like, just finding things to eat with honey, you know?
Bobby Bones
What do you mean?
Eddie
Well, I don't want to. I don't want to just do, like, medicine, like, every day. Like, put a spoon and then eat it. Like I put on bananas. That's kind of cool. You talked about toast.
Amy Brown
Looking for a reason. Eat something sweet. Dude.
Bobby Bones
Toast is amazing. Try it on your eggs.
Amy Brown
But that's not going to help your allergies. You just want honey. Eat honey. For a whole year.
Eddie
You said I'm in for the long haul.
Amy Brown
But even then, it's.
Lunchbox
It's minimal.
Amy Brown
But if your allergies are hurting you day to day. Take. Yeah, take course setting.
Eddie
Course setting.
Amy Brown
Zyrtec or Zyrtec. That's what I do. I take Zyrtec. I do nasal rinses. There was a story about a woman. I didn't pull it. But there's a story about a woman who. When you do nasal rinses, and I have a neti pot in my office because I have to talk for a living. And some days I come in and I'm not good. My throat's sore or my. I have allergies. And so I'll go and I'll pour the thing in my nose, come out the other side. But it cannot be normal water. It can't be tap water. It has to be distilled water. And so you put the distilled water in. Boom. She did normal water. And like there was like a. She got like a worm in her nose.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's not good.
Eddie
They do tell you bold letters.
Amy Brown
They don't do normal water. Yeah.
Eddie
Or boil it or something. But don't drink water.
Bobby Bones
But what's crazy is we drink the normal water. So why is it different if it's going.
Eddie
I had a buddy of mine that worked at a water plant.
Amy Brown
I don't know the answer to that, Amy. And it could just be. Let me read you this. Before, a 71 year old Texas woman died after getting a brain eating amoeba called Nygleria fowleri from using tap water to rinse her sinuses. The infection confirmed by the CDC caused a rare and deadly brain illness called primary amoebic. I'm not going to try the second one. She started feeling sick with fever, headache, and confusion. The CDC believes that tap water from the RV's tank.
Bobby Bones
So there could have been an RV.
Amy Brown
Yeah, there could have been a tank.
Bobby Bones
Something in the tent. Like she wasn't contaminated.
Amy Brown
Yeah, but we don't even know where our tap water comes from.
Bobby Bones
True.
Lunchbox
Let's be honest.
Amy Brown
Like, people could be peeing that thing.
Eddie
Yep.
Amy Brown
Although pee, not so bad. Poop, bad.
Eddie
But I think it's mainly when it goes straight to your nose. It's like, boom, Straight to brain. Or possibly.
Amy Brown
I don't know. I don't have the answer to that. As a great question. I do not have the answer to. Amy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I'm trying to read about it right.
Amy Brown
Now, but look that up and I'll move on. But I'd like to come back to you for that. Your only job is to look that up right now.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
What you looking up?
Amy Brown
That's just for her.
Bobby Bones
I typed in, why can you drink tap water but not use tap water? For neti. Pot.
Eddie
Good one.
Amy Brown
Well, when you come, just raise your hand when you. When you get that. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
Someone actually tipped $5,000? Yeah. Did you guys see this story?
Eddie
Yeah. So it's been a while, right? It was like a year ago.
Amy Brown
It's been a while. A school teacher in California accidentally gave a $5,000 tip instead of a $5 tip when buying CBD products. I didn't see that. This has been a whole long time ago.
Eddie
I think it said, like, about a year, and she's been fighting it for, like, eight months.
Amy Brown
So maybe the story's new and it's presenting as new because they've finally. Here is Linda Matheson recently talking about what happened.
Morgan
He says, enter a tip. Well, when I did, there's no decimal point. And I pushed. I thought. Which was only two zeros. Ended up being three zeros. I said, wait, I want to delete this. And he said, I don't know how to delete it. He never erased it. Nothing. Like $5,000. I don't have that kind of money. I busted out in tears. I'm a single mom. I have two grown kids. My son is graduating college next week. I can't even buy anything for him because I have a $5,000 outstanding. Now it's $5,500.
Amy Brown
So here's the update. This is why it's a new story. Wells Fargo has since responded, vowing to refund the $5,000 tip amount plus interest. So it looks like the person that got tip still got tip, But Wells Fargo said, we'll cover you and hit you back with it, plus the interest. If you would have kept another bank, it would have gotten so big. Shout out. Tell me something good to Wells Fargo.
Eddie
Shout out.
Amy Brown
Yeah, we like that. That's the update.
Lunchbox
That's good.
Eddie
Good.
Amy Brown
Yeah, it does feel like that was an older story, but I wondered why it popped up in the news again today. It's because. Updated it. Yep. All right. I made my list of top TV villains.
Eddie
Oh, yeah?
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Eddie
You teased this?
Amy Brown
Yeah, and a couple of them. I don't know if you guys are gonna. I think you'll understand. Some of them. Shredder.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Eddie
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Amy Brown
Huh?
Eddie
I mean, we don't. Do we know much about Shredder? Like what?
Amy Brown
Oh, I don't know. Shredder's origin story. Yeah, I bet you I'd Feel sorry for him. Hey, Mike. What's up? What's up with Shredder?
Mike
He was like a martial artist, and then he fought Splinter like his master was also Splinter's master. And then he sliced him in the face, and that's how he got a scar. And that's why he wears the Shredder mask.
Amy Brown
But there had to be something, like, in his back. I think that's a movie.
Mike
His backstory.
Amy Brown
Yeah, like, his backstory that makes us feel bad for him because nobody turns bad unless they're chemically imbalanced and they have no choice. But nobody turns bad for no reason. And oftentimes they feel like they're doing good. Everybody's somebody's villain. You've heard my theory on that.
Eddie
I like it.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Mike
Because he tried to kill the guy who trained him. So, yeah, there's something dark.
Amy Brown
I need a Shredder. I need a Shredder backstory, and I need it to not be Ninja Turtle cartoonish. I need it to be Dark Knightish.
Mike
They are making a R rated Ninja Turtles movie that's probably R rated.
Amy Brown
They do it with a frog or what?
Mike
No.
Eddie
Well, they are older turtles.
Mike
So there's a graphic novel called the Last Ronin, and it's about, like, a few of the Teenage Ninja Turtles die, and one of them avenges their death.
Amy Brown
I'm good without the turtles because I think of Shredder. That could be like, the Penguin.
Mike
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Because in Penguin on hbo, there is no Batman like that. No Batman character shows up and is like, I'm Batman, and makes it like a little superhero. Corny Penguin. Just like a dude had a tough life growing up. Yeah. And had to make decisions to survive. And those decisions end up turning him into Penguin. That's interesting. I guess I can't really write the Shredder movie, can I? Because it's not public domain.
Mike
You can do fan fiction that feels like.
Amy Brown
That's 50 Shades of Gray. Fan fiction was 50 Shades of Gray on. Based on Twilight.
Eddie
Oh, really? You could do that?
Amy Brown
I'm all, well, but that's a rare case of it turning into something. Is that accurate?
Mike
That is accurate. Yeah.
Amy Brown
Sometimes I just hear stuff and it just stores. But 50 shades of gray was fan fiction when they were writing about the characters of Twilight and it turned into what it is. Amy. What? What you find out.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so here's the deal. Tap water may contain tiny amounts of microbes, usually harmless if swallowed. Because your stomach acid can kill them. It can handle it. However, when you rinse your sinuses with it, Those microbes are directly near delicate nasal tissue, close to the brain, bypassing that protective barrier so you don't have the stomach acid to kill it. So therefore, bam. That's what it is.
Amy Brown
Got it. Thank you for that. Here are my TV villains that I think are awesome. Shredder's number one awesome, as in I hate them. John Hamm as Roy Tillman in Fargo. I think that's season three or four. Possibly the greatest villain ever in the history of television. Because I hated him. But I loved him because I hated him so much, because he was just crushing that character. Season 5. Jon Hamm stars in Fargo Season 5 as Sheriff Roy Tillman. You don't need to watch season one, two, three, or four.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I watched them. Out of order. All of them.
Amy Brown
Yeah. So do we. Fargos have nothing to do with each other. Season five is fantastic. It should have won a Grammy. Except Grammys don't go to TV shows.
Eddie
To Tony's.
Amy Brown
No, that's stage Emmy. Yeah, I was making a joke.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's the one I started with, I think, because you said a long time ago. So I started with five. And then you're hooked. And you want to see them all right.
Amy Brown
John Lithgow as the bad guy. His name's Arthur and Dexter. John Lithgow plays excellent villain.
Eddie
He's good.
Amy Brown
Excellent villain. He's also in a movie. I'll tell you tomorrow. He's also in a movie. I watched this weekend for Tuesday reviews day. Brace yourselves. John Lithgow, excellent villain. Giancarlo Esposito, Gus and Breaking Bad.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Amy Brown
Great villain. You didn't watch Homelander, but if you would have. No, the boys. Homelander is played by the guy that looks like Zack Morris and he plays basically Superman. But it's. If superheroes were living in today and there was social media and they were to get paid. And he's awesome as a villain. Anybody watch the Boys?
Bobby Bones
No.
Amy Brown
Morgan?
Mike
No.
Amy Brown
You of all people haven't watched the Boys?
Ray
I tried to watch the first episode and it was so violent, I couldn't get into it.
Amy Brown
But it's like over the top violent. Right?
Mike
It's pretty bloody and go.
Amy Brown
But like extra.
Mike
It makes you uncomfortable. If you don't like Blood and Guts.
Ray
Yeah. And I can't do Blood and Guts.
Amy Brown
It's awesome. That's so cool.
Eddie
I wanted to.
Amy Brown
Because I love it. I love that show so much. It's probably my favorite superhero show. Okay.
Ray
But also think about one of the very first scenes in the first episode of what happens that's what got me.
Amy Brown
Yeah, Just close your eyes throughout the whole show.
Eddie
Was that sexual?
Amy Brown
No, not the part I'm thinking of.
Bobby Bones
No.
Amy Brown
I remember the running guy. Yeah.
Ray
It happens very quickly.
Eddie
Yeah, Yeah, I saw that one.
Amy Brown
Jeffrey. Dean Morgan is Negan and the Walking Dead. Excellent. Just excellent. He shows up with that bat.
Mike
Lucille.
Eddie
That's the name of the bat.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I love the little nails on it.
Amy Brown
The Walking Dead. It's one of my favorite shows of all time. And he was an excellent villain. There was another great villain on that show, David Morrissey, who played the governor. He was awesome, too. And he was the ultimate villain until Negan came along. A plus. A plus. Jack Gleason, who played Joffrey, he can't even get a role now because he's so typecast as Joffrey on Game of Thrones.
Mike
He, like, retired from acting because of it.
Amy Brown
Because people only saw him as. Yeah, that's not a good choice. So good. What's not a good choice?
Eddie
That he can't act anymore because of that.
Amy Brown
What's the choice?
Eddie
Well, taking that role, right? You have that choice.
Amy Brown
You're going to say not to take a massive role on one of the biggest shows in the history of television.
Eddie
I'm not saying don't take it. It just kind of backfired a little bit.
Amy Brown
But you said that's a bad choice. Yeah, I mean, so what you're saying is the choice was bad. And I would say the choice was one of the greatest decisions he ever made.
Mike
I see that as a success being remembered for one role.
Eddie
But you. Now you're done, though.
Amy Brown
Well, I don't think they're the same. I don't think that's the same conversation, though. I think the choice is a wonderful choice. You got to.
Eddie
But didn't it come down to the choice? Like, it came down to the choice?
Amy Brown
You don't. You never know in that choice that you're making, you never know that you're going to be so successful. You're going to be typecast, right?
Eddie
No, no, I'm not saying that he.
Amy Brown
You are. But you're saying the choice.
Eddie
Well, in hindsight, you look, you can't hindsight a choice. What I am. Hindsight in the choice. Because we're talking after the fact.
Amy Brown
But you're. You can't hindsight the choice that he made before he knew what it was going to do.
Eddie
It's like, remember we talked about all those people that made bad business choices. Netflix, Dunkleman, like, all that stuff. Like, that was a Bad choice. They didn't think it was. They didn't know it was a bad choice at the time.
Amy Brown
I. The difference is, I think the business guy made his choice because of the negative outcomes that can happen. Because he said, I didn't want to be on the hook for what the company would owe by me being a percentage ownership of it. Like, I understand that. Because he wanted to avoid the risk. This is, hey, if you take this role, you're going to be on the biggest show ever and you're going to be a massive success.
Eddie
And I think we all would take it every time.
Amy Brown
It was. I don't think that was the bad choice. I think, heck, the bad choice could have been things like not changing his hair color, not trying for a role, not beefing up, not taking a break, not he'll be back. But I don't think the choice was to take that role or not to be a bad choice. I think that's short. And hindsight. Yeah, that's a term. Hindsight.
Eddie
I mean, just. Yeah, it's like, who else can. Is like that?
Amy Brown
Like Urkel. You can say Urkel.
Eddie
Yeah, that's a good one. I saw him. He was hosting a game show. Oh, yeah, he's doing that.
Amy Brown
Like, would you say that was a bad choice?
Eddie
No.
Amy Brown
I mean, maybe the choice was to play the character so perfect when you're halfway through it.
Mike
Like, the guy who plays McLovin, bad choice.
Eddie
Is he kind of done? Is he, like. He's always McLovin.
Mike
That's the one that everybody knows him for.
Lunchbox
Yeah. What about Alfonso Riviera?
Amy Brown
Carlton. Not his name, but close. No, because he's had actual success. Host Dancing with the Stars now host America's Funniest Video.
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, hosting wise. I mean, hosting is different than acting, right? I would say, like, he hasn't. I can't name another thing he's acted in.
Amy Brown
I think you just want to make money doing something from a camera.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's true.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
But I don't know. But I would say not a bad choice.
Eddie
Okay, good choice. Got it.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Would you rather take a small role in a bunch of shows or would you have one role in a massive show?
Amy Brown
Would you and I. Great question. Would you rather be known for one thing forever or really not known for anything by taking a bunch of little roles over time? And the money's the same.
Eddie
Money's the same.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Because he's gonna be able make money forever off Game of Thrones. The money's the same signing stuff.
Eddie
If money's the same. The one role is great because that's like one and done. Money's the same.
Amy Brown
I would also say he was young enough when that happened that he can have a full transformation in three to five more years and people won't even recognize who he is. You see Friggin Zack Morris now acting in shows. Yeah, the real Zack Morris. Mark Osler.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Ray
I feel like this happened with Daniel Radcliffe, who was Harry Potter. He had that time period where he was the only Harry Potter and now he's really in the stage where he's trying to morph into something else and it's working.
Amy Brown
But he did Broadway and showed his wiener, I think, right?
Mike
Yeah, he did.
Bobby Bones
That was part of the show, Part of his transformation.
Amy Brown
Yeah. It wasn't a surprise to the audience.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.
Amy Brown
That would have been a fun surprise though. Plankton and SpongeBob, great villain.
Ray
Who played him?
Amy Brown
Who voiced him? Still voices him, probably. Spongebob's not over, is it?
Ray
No, I think it's still going on.
Amy Brown
I don't know. I don't know who voices many things. Except for Uncle Phil, who voiced a bunch of things, including. Uncle Phil was on. What character? Eddie, we've talked about this. Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince was one character.
Eddie
Give me.
Amy Brown
Can you give me like a. Yeah, Shredder.
Eddie
He was Shredder.
Amy Brown
Yes.
Eddie
Really?
Amy Brown
Yes.
Eddie
That's crazy. I didn't know that.
Amy Brown
Yeah, Skeletor. And he. Man, great, great villain big time.
Eddie
He scared me as a kid.
Amy Brown
Yeah, Skeletor is awesome. That's about all I have.
Eddie
You know who else was good too that scared me as a kid was the Inspector Gadget guy, Claw.
Bobby Bones
Go Go G. Oh, you mean the guy.
Lunchbox
Dude. Inspector Gadget's back though. They have new. It's great.
Amy Brown
Although it's not big enough. Was he? I don't think he was the main villain all the time. Was he?
Eddie
Yeah, he was like.
Amy Brown
Yeah. I don't remember him.
Lunchbox
Then he's the one that has a little cat and he sits there and he say that.
Amy Brown
But he's always in the dark. I never knew what he looked like.
Eddie
You don't know what he looks like?
Mike
His arm. Dr. Claw.
Lunchbox
And he sends someone else to go do the stuff.
Amy Brown
And I think because he never had a face. I don't know. Dr. Claw. Did he have face ever?
Eddie
I don't think so.
Mike
Ever. Yeah, I think at one point they show his face.
Eddie
Really?
Amy Brown
You know, in the boys, Dennis Quaid's son is the main character. Jack Quaid.
Ray
Really? Is he as good like Dennis Quaid is such a legendary actor.
Amy Brown
Is he? Jack Quaid's good. Yeah. But once you know it's Dennis Quaid's son, you're just like this. Dennis Quaid's son.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Who are other actors or Nepo babies that actually are successful that we think are actually good? Like, Gracie Abrams was good. She's Nepo as they come.
Ray
What about I. I haven't watched White Lotus, but Patrick Schwarzenegger, who's.
Amy Brown
He's good.
Eddie
He's awesome.
Ray
Old son.
Amy Brown
Gracie Abrams is J.J. abrams daughter, by the way.
Eddie
Correct.
Lunchbox
The singer.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Huh.
Lunchbox
Huh?
Amy Brown
Yeah. Patrick Schwarzenegger is good. Gwyneth Paltrow's Nepo baby.
Eddie
Her dad was Mom. Or Mom.
Bobby Bones
Maybe both.
Lunchbox
What about Stiller?
Amy Brown
Ben Stiller is a Nepo baby. Yes. Jerry Stiller.
Eddie
Do you know who Ben Stiller's dad is?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I know that. It was Seinfeld.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Tom Hanks.
Lunchbox
Yeah. He has a son that acts Colin.
Amy Brown
Oh, yeah. Colin Hanks. And he has a son that raps.
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
Chat.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Yeah.
Eddie
Did you know, did Ben Stiller direct? It may be a different Ben Stiller, but he directs Severance. Like, I'm telling you.
Amy Brown
Don't say anything. Don't say anything. Go ahead.
Eddie
I'm stupid. I'm stupid.
Amy Brown
I know.
Eddie
Just go ahead. You're gonna make me look stupid.
Amy Brown
No, no. I'm literally wondering what. You know, I watch Ben.
Eddie
I watched Severance, and then it says directed by Ben Stiller.
Amy Brown
And I've done.
Eddie
I haven't done any research. And I'm just like, huh, Ben Stiller directed this.
Amy Brown
That's his show.
Eddie
What?
Amy Brown
He didn't write it, but that's his show.
Eddie
That's crazy. Didn't know that.
Amy Brown
Were you gonna say Mike? No.
Mike
He's directed a lot of stuff.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Eddie
Really?
Amy Brown
And Severance is his show. Like when they do promo for it, he's always the one out. Him and Adam Scott are always the two out that are doing all the press for it. That's his show.
Eddie
I had no idea.
Mike
Yeah, I believe like the Cable Guy was the first movie he directed back in the day.
Amy Brown
Wow. Any other Nepo babies come to mind?
Eddie
Yeah, Jacob Dylan.
Amy Brown
Good one.
Bobby Bones
Who's.
Amy Brown
That's okay. Amy, what are the wallflowers thing with one headlight? Good job. Some people would say they're a one hit wonder. So I don't know if that's like a soup.
Bobby Bones
I'll never forget that song.
Amy Brown
They have 6th Avenue Heartache wasn't really a massive success. Like One Headlight was which went pop.
Bobby Bones
For a long time. When I would be driving on i35 in my first car, my 1985 Bronco, I had one headlight.
Amy Brown
Oh, that was your jam.
Bobby Bones
I would fly that song. And when it would come on, I'd be like, this is so fitting right now, because my headlight was burned out.
Eddie
And then she'd get pulled over.
Amy Brown
Any other Nepo babies coming to mind? Mike?
Mike
I think Maya Hawk is really good.
Amy Brown
I've only seen her on TikTok when they do stories about Nepo babies. I've not seen her actually act. I saw her complaining about. It was weird to watch her complain about something. But talking about how producers will be like, hey, if you don't have this many Instagram followers, this many TikTok followers, we don't want to cast you.
Mike
Yeah. She wanted, like, to delete her Instagram. I don't delete it, because then if you don't have that, we can't book around you.
Amy Brown
And she's like, well, I don't think this should. You should be able to have to get on your own merit. And you're like, well, you're Ethan Hawke's daughter.
Eddie
Oh, that's Ethan Hawke's daughter.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Mike
Uma Thurman is your mom.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's like Jennifer Aniston.
Amy Brown
Yeah. But I didn't know her. Her parents.
Lunchbox
Angelina Jolie.
Eddie
That's a good boy. That's a good one.
Amy Brown
But they hid that for so long, I didn't know.
Lunchbox
I have no idea. I'm just trying to think of famous people with famous parents. I don't know if she's a Nepo baby, but, I mean, they don't even talk. Right.
Amy Brown
I don't know. Is he even live?
Eddie
I think he's still with us.
Amy Brown
Like Jacob Dylan hid from being Bob Dylan's son for a long time. He didn't go by Dylan. And I also think it was the Nepo baby thing was. Was different before social media, because we didn't know, like, I'm saying, Angelina Jolie. Unless, like, Entertainment Tonight told us that was Jon Voight's daughter. We had no idea.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
So you got to be an EPO baby without us even knowing anybody else.
Ray
Miley Cyrus.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I thought about that. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Which. Yes. Right.
Ray
Because Billy Ray Cyrus.
Amy Brown
Not that you can't be super talented.
Bobby Bones
Worked so hard as a kid.
Amy Brown
Absolutely. You absolutely can.
Bobby Bones
But that she wouldn't have had that job probably, if it wasn't maybe.
Amy Brown
Or a connection and he was on the show. Maybe he was a Nepo Dad. Cause he ended up getting.
Mike
Did you see her kind of get bullied into singing over the weekend?
Amy Brown
Yeah. So I watched her at the premiere of the movie that she's in, and the crowd was like, sing. And she was. And I saw they were like, miley Cyrus, get heckle. But I watched it a little more, and I feel like a little bit she brought that she was kind of joking about. Then she sang the Climbing. It was awesome. But yes, a little bit.
Mike
They were like, we paid $800 for this. We want you to sing.
Amy Brown
They were at a like a Q and A of a premiere, right?
Mike
Yeah.
Amy Brown
And then she's saying, I thought the big news was she finally gets to sing the Disney songs again after she couldn't forever. Because once she wasn't Hannah Montana anymore. She can't perform the climb. She couldn't perform Best of Both Worlds. But now that she is like, basically Disney hall of Fame, I forget the term for it. She now can sing those songs again without them suing her.
Lunchbox
Huh.
Ray
I didn't realize that's why she wasn't performing those.
Amy Brown
I mean. And I heard her say there really wasn't a space in her set list for Best of Both Worlds currently. But the Climb, great song. But now she can. And that's what she did. Right, Mike? Yeah, I did see at CMA Fest was this past weekend, and we talked a little bit about it on Friday. But so quick understanding of this festival. It's a whole bunch of stages downtown and people play all over the place, and they play at bars. And then Thursday, Friday, Saturday night, they have massive shows where the Titans play at Titan Stadium, Nissan Stadium, and the biggest artists play there. But it's really way more than just that. And so the thing this year was every artist go to a bar and just show up at a bar and get the social media of it. And so what's funny is you would see some of them go to bars. They'd get up on the bar and start singing. People have no idea who they were. And they'd post a video and be like, look at me. I'm just a normal person singing on the bar. And you could tell the crowd didn't have any idea who it was.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Amy Brown
And there are people with songs, but there's a blurry. There's like all these dudes, they look and sound very similarly, that if you don't have something that sets you apart, even if you have multiple hits, nobody knows who you are. Like when to see you. And I was watching one Dude, I won't say who it is. Get on a bar. And people are like, huh, how about that? Somebody's on a bar. We should know who that is. I did see Eric Church going to his bar, and there's a guy playing piano, and he's doing Springsteen. And so Eric Church is there in Chiefs, which, by the way, these artists don't own these bars. You guys know that, right? They just lease out their name 99% of the time. And so. But Church is in there, and the piano guy's obviously playing Springsteen because Church is in there. Church just stand on the side drinking a beer or something. And so the guy's playing it, and he's like, you want to sing? And so Eric grabs the mic, and the guy plays the first part and plays the keys to the chorus. And then Church is like, all right, what do you think about me? Think about 17. And the crowd's all singing along, and then the piano guy jumps back in and starts singing with Church. And I'm like, bro, like, I get it. You want to. If. Even if you do that, though, you go lighter, and you just do, like, harmonies or you double. But light, light, light. You think about me. You just give him a little. You think about 70. This guy's like, when you think about me, you think about. I did see Keith Urban do a really cool one. He took a mic stand and a guitar and got on a bar. That's somebody who people know.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Wolf.
Eddie
Yeah, immediately.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Keith Urban got up in a bar and crushed. And it was super cool because he's super famous, but it's kind of thing like, look, I'm like one of you guys. I go to the bar and get on a bar and just sing. Did you guys see any of those?
Eddie
Yes, a lot of them.
Amy Brown
No, the videos.
Eddie
I saw Aldean. He did his.
Amy Brown
I didn't see. I didn't see Aldean.
Eddie
Yeah, everyone knew who he was.
Amy Brown
I would think he sang.
Eddie
He sang. Yeah.
Amy Brown
He did say, did he get on the bar or was it on the stage? Because. Okay.
Eddie
And it's always cool because a band's already up there playing, and he just walks up there. It's cool.
Amy Brown
That's cool. That's cool.
Eddie
And I saw the guy on the bar, too.
Amy Brown
Oh, you did?
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
And then he had to start singing covers, so. Did you see him sing covers?
Eddie
No, I didn't make it that far.
Lunchbox
Who was it when they.
Bobby Bones
But. But is this song well known?
Amy Brown
It has many songs.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So that they just thought maybe he Was doing a cover.
Amy Brown
Well, some girl.
Bobby Bones
I mean, not like he was a normal person covering this famous version.
Amy Brown
Maybe. Maybe. I'm sure some people knew, but it's hard if you're in that dude world of, like, you're a dude between, like, 25 and 40 and you got a few hits. They all blend together. Unless there's something about you that is very specific. But it doesn't matter. That wasn't my point.
Lunchbox
Oh, man, that sucks.
Amy Brown
Text me who you think it was. It could have been more than one person.
Eddie
I don't know. I'm sure we got the same.
Lunchbox
Can I. I got another Nepo Baby.
Amy Brown
Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Thomas Rhett.
Eddie
Good.
Amy Brown
Yeah, sure. I would say yes, for sure. He comes from somebody with success in country music. Yes, I'll go with that. But there are times when I would say there are different levels too, if, like, you're the Nepo baby and you actually outperform the parent. Yeah, I think that's a. Okay, we'll give you some. Some pass there, because you did something big. And then secondly, some Nepa bitches aren't good.
Bobby Bones
Right. And he's. He's actually good.
Amy Brown
But I would say that too, about some of the other people. Like, I think Colin Hanks is really good.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy Brown
And again, you're exposed to really great things. You're exposed to one of the best of all time exposure opportunities. I think that's what Nepo Baby is more than just like, talent. What he's. You texted me?
Eddie
Yeah, I texted to you. Who do we.
Amy Brown
Yeah, that's it.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy Brown
I felt kind of awkward for him.
Lunchbox
Hey, text me, man.
Eddie
Nah, later, dude.
Amy Brown
Later. What are you saying?
Eddie
Do we see at Rich Eisen.
Amy Brown
Oh, Ice Cube son.
Eddie
Ice Cube son. There we go.
Amy Brown
Johnny Cube.
Eddie
And he looks. I mean, he looks a lot like his dad.
Amy Brown
Yeah. And he was in shredded of Compton.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy Brown
What is Ice Cube son's name?
Mike
It's a good question.
Amy Brown
He does a wrestling podcast.
Eddie
That's why we saw him.
Amy Brown
He's one of the guys for Rich Eisen.
Bobby Bones
Ice Cube.
Amy Brown
He played Ice Cube. He played his dad in Str. Compton.
Lunchbox
That's pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
I'm trying to think of what his name is.
Ray
He has a few sons.
Amy Brown
Yeah. If you read their names. O' Shea Jackson. That's it. O' Shea Jackson. Yeah. O' Shea Jackson. Yeah. I'm not hating. If anything, I'm a little jealous, but I can understand that people's irritation with the concept, because most of us don't come from a place of opportunity or advantage. When it comes to the career path that we want to get into, a lot of people don't know this lunchbox is dad Don Imus.
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no, no.
Eddie
You should start that rumor.
Lunchbox
No, we shouldn't.
Amy Brown
Don Imus.
Bobby Bones
Why are you so anti it?
Amy Brown
What did you mean?
Lunchbox
He sat on there and said some racist remarks.
Amy Brown
That ain't no super successful. Like really one of the great history.
Bobby Bones
But. But I do remember. That's what I remember him for now.
Amy Brown
He got old and got a little bit of his racism started to. He couldn't control it. It just kept dripping out of him.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, let's not start.
Amy Brown
That lunchbox is dead.
Lunchbox
Don Imus and his Uncle Epstein.
Amy Brown
He's white, though. He's Jewish, and he's not Jewish.
Bobby Bones
Eddie's uncle, El Chapo.
Amy Brown
That would have been funnier and more racist. We'd have liked that one.
Bobby Bones
Sorry.
Amy Brown
Eddie's uncle, El Chapo. I feel like we all pick somebody that's despicable and we say it's her.
Eddie
Yeah, whatever you guys want.
Amy Brown
Amy's. Amy's mom. Gazelle. Maxine.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Amy Brown
Whatever. Her name is Lane.
Bobby Bones
The. Yeah. Epstein's girl's accomplice.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Yeah. Who's my dad? You can use my real dad if you want.
Eddie
Bill Cosby.
Bobby Bones
That wouldn't work.
Lunchbox
It could be mixed.
Amy Brown
Any chance I'm mixed, though? Yeah, man. I wish.
Bobby Bones
I don't like this.
Amy Brown
Okay, let's.
Lunchbox
I didn't like it either when they feels wrong.
Amy Brown

This is the Bobby Bone Show. Alright, let's roll through some voicemails. This is a voicemail we got. Go ahead. I was just listening to Tuesday Reviews day and Morgan 100% spoiled the last of us.
Bobby Bones
Amy always gets punished for spoiling shows.
Amy Brown
And Morgan definitely said too much.
Bobby Bones
I think Morgan needs to be punished.
Amy Brown
I do not know what Morgan said except for I was in on talking about the show with her and I don't feel like anything was spoiled now. I don't remember Mike. I feel like since I've seen the show I would have known if there was a spoiler.
Mike
I feel like I know what the listener is talking about but I don't think she spoiled it.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I don't remember anything.
Ray
I think I alluded to something happening but I didn't say what it was. But it was all over the Internet. Yeah, and that's what we Were talking about that.
Amy Brown
It was hard. You couldn't miss that spoiler. Because I saw it, and I was upset about it. I was like, how can they just be so reckless with this?
Ray
But, yes, I think that's what she. And maybe I did say too much in that, but I felt like it was out everywhere. Everybody knew about it. If you were watching that show, even I knew about it before I even watched what happened.
Amy Brown
I feel like I would have stopped you and said, ooh, that's too much. You can't say that. If I'd have felt that way.
Ray
Okay.
Amy Brown
But with Amy, sometimes she talks about shows I'd never even heard of, and all of a sudden, it's like 100 voicemails later, she spoiled the whole show.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Even she agrees. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I'm not gonna.
Amy Brown
Give me the next one, please.
Bobby Bones
Morning, Bobby.
Amy Brown
Morning show. I just had a question about the child. I know it was tragic that got hit. I've seen kids walk home after they've been dropped off from a bus on a busy street. So I'm just curious as to what the laws happen then. Yeah, I don't know. Listen, here's the thing about us. We don't know laws. We just say crap. I would think if a bus is dropping off kids at a certain point, that point has been deemed a responsible place to drop kids off. Or the bus wouldn't stop to drop the kids off there. From there, I don't know. So, I mean.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. I was thinking about this more, too, because, like, my son rides his bike to school every day. You know, a kid was riding a scooter to school towards. Towards the end of the year, I guess it was coming home from school and got hit by a car. And I started getting text messages because all people were hearing was there was an accident. And a lot of my friends near me know that my son rides his bike and they were checking, like, making sure that it wasn't Stevenson.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I was thinking, gosh, would. Because we let him do that, Would we be held responsible if an accident happened?
Amy Brown
I think it's all based on the circumstances.
Bobby Bones
Sometimes even walks.
Amy Brown
Because if you were like, yeah, he rides a bike to school, but he rides it on the interstate, on the side of the interstate, and he got hit. People will go, yeah, you're going to jail for your kid.
Bobby Bones
True.
Amy Brown
So it's hard to just paint a wide stroke and go, you can't let your kids walk to school. You can't. The answer is there's nuance involved. We don't understand the full nuance. I've even seen the video of where the kid was. I don't know if the parents had any prior history of neglect. There's just a lot of nuance. So that's the answer I have is I don't have an answer. I don't think you have to have an answer to everything. And times aren't the same as they used to be either.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy Brown
So. But the bus thing, I would think if there is a bus stop, it has been deemed responsible to drop kids off at the bus stop if it's by the school or.
Bobby Bones
I was thinking, too, back when I was in, like, sixth or seventh grade, I was at my friend's house and it was summertime and we left her mom, went to work, and then we decided to walk to our friend Hector's house.
Lunchbox
Hector.
Bobby Bones
And we got much trouble, but she. We walked a long way and something could have easily happened to us. And it's not neglect on her parents. Like, we were the ones.
Amy Brown
Also a different time. It's just a way different time. Okay, I know, but there was no neglect back then. I mean, there was, but it had to be serious. Serious. But now. And probably a far massive net gain way.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Because of the ability to talk about it, educate about it. It's different. So it's hard to compare us as kids. That'd be like, our parents, our grandparents. I don't have parents. Our grandparents being like, well, this is what we did back in the day.
Bobby Bones
I know, but, like, I'm just saying, we didn't even have permission.
Amy Brown
We were 11. We were smoking cigarettes. Well, if that was happening now, you'd probably get in trouble if you're letting your kids smoke cigarettes. Ray hit me with that last one. Morning studio. I just thought it would be maybe a fun idea in honor of Summer, to have each of you say what you would name a boat if you had a boat. I always love that game. I think it's super fun. Well, we know what Amy's gonna be. If you had a boat. Oh, I haven't thought about this. What would you name the boat? Now I'm married now, so I couldn't name it the Boner.
Eddie
Well, but that's a great name, though.
Lunchbox
That's a good name for boat.
Bobby Bones
It's not, though. It is like, nobody wants to be like, what's.
Amy Brown
Oh.
Bobby Bones
Everybody hop on the Boner.
Eddie
All aboard the Boner.
Lunchbox
That's what you want to say, Amy.
Amy Brown
Everybody on the Boner. Let's get out of here.
Bobby Bones
Take your shoes off. We don't allow shoes on the boner.
Amy Brown
We would probably. I don't know who has a name?
Bobby Bones
I do.
Amy Brown
Because. Because we don't have time to think about this. Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
I. This is the first thing that came to me, and I would name after my mom. She has since passed. But I think a really cute name for a boat would be her name, which was Judy. I think that Judy would look cute on a boat.
Eddie
The Judy?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or just Judy.
Amy Brown
Maybe have to be the Judy.
Bobby Bones
It is. It always has to be the.
Amy Brown
No, but.
Bobby Bones
Well, the Judy I like doesn't have to be the.
Amy Brown
But most boats are like the. Or like a. I don't know, dude. What do I know? I mean, I worked at a marina for a long time. I could fix some boats.
Bobby Bones
I just feel like Judy's cute. I like it for me.
Amy Brown
But if you say, go get on Judy, it feels like you're talking about a person.
Eddie
It feels like the boner.
Amy Brown
You wanted the boner, but the boner.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Go get on the Judy. The Judy. That's what I would name it, Eddie.
Eddie
God, I cannot believe I've never thought of this question because, like, I've always wanted a boat and never once have I thought, what do I name my boat? And I don't have a daughter. Like, I have a wife.
Amy Brown
It doesn't have to be a female name.
Eddie
Oh, I feel like my boat would be a female.
Amy Brown
You don't know. You haven't seen. You haven't met it yet.
Eddie
Well, I already have. I know exactly what it looks like. It's going to be turquoise. It's going to have two levels on it. A lot of little fishing pole holders all around it.
Amy Brown
Man.
Eddie
You know, my nickname is kind of like. My parents would call me Wawa. So maybe. Maybe it'd be the Wawel.
Bobby Bones
The what?
Eddie
W A W o. Wawoo. Or the Wawa if it's gonna be a female.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, the Wawa.
Amy Brown
The Wawa lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Prom king.
Amy Brown
Oh, that's good. The prom king.
Lunchbox
The prom king.
Amy Brown
You really hold on to that in different way. Put a crown on it.
Lunchbox
Put a crown on it. Boom.
Eddie
That's cool.
Lunchbox
Right next to the words.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
So easy, so simple. And everybody knows King of the water.
Amy Brown
I think we'd probably call ours Switzerland. He played football at Arkansas and coached Oklahoma. He was on the Arkansas football national championship team. And then he coached Oklahoma.
Eddie
So he works for both of y' all?
Amy Brown
Yeah, he's both of our person. We have to find Mutual Ground stuff. We name stuff these days.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, it says. Okay, so I just looked it up and it says, traditionally ships are given female names.
Amy Brown
But I don't do tradition and people that do tradition for the sake of traditional losers. In my mind, if you do it because you want to, that's great. But yeah, okay, cool. Hey, thank you guys for listening. We will see you guys tomorrow. Have a great day, everybody. If it's possible to win a Pulitzer Prize for a segment, we might have a segment here where the person might win that prize or whatever. The Edward R. Murrow investigative reporting. I'm not even sure what prize it would be, but somebody on the show my. Might win that award with this segment we're going to do here. And that person's lunchbox, because you talk about putting his ear on the ground and digging for information. He did it. Lunchbox. I cede to you.
Lunchbox
Okay, so we did a segment about Amy being late. And there was arguments back and forth. Amy talking about she's driving by Bobby's house, honking. And she. In the conversation, I think she said, I might have been at most five minutes late.
Amy Brown
Because I said, I think you were a lot later than that. She was like, at most I was five minutes. And by the way, the whole thing came up because I said, nobody on the show has been late to anything in years. And Amy broke the streak. So. And it was because she wanted to drive by my house and honk and my wife hear her.
Eddie
Yeah, that was weird.
Amy Brown
Which is weird.
Bobby Bones
Well, no, that's not why that. That just happened because I was driving by. I wasn't like, oh, I'm gonna go out of my way real quick to see that. I was like, I'm gonna be passing in your house.
Amy Brown
But you weren't, though. It wasn't even on the gps.
Bobby Bones
I brought on the. No, no, no. I was on your street and I'm having deja vu.
Amy Brown
Amy, she was the first and only person to be laid in years on this show to anything.
Bobby Bones
I was totally set to be on time.
Amy Brown
Like my GPS lunchbox. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
So I heard Amy say that and I said, huh, Let me go and hit the streets and figure out how late was Amy. And there's evidence all over the Internet. Yeah, it's called YouTube. And I'm like, is there any sign of Amy in the video? What happens when. And so I went back and watched the Home Run Derby. And at the 6 minute, 6 minute and 40 second mark, you hear Scuba answer the phone. Just type it in your gps.
Bobby Bones
No, I Was already there at that time. I was behind the building.
Amy Brown
Lunchbox has done, though. First of all, before we do that, will you play Amy on the show saying she was only six minutes late.
Bobby Bones
But don't increase the time. It was not 15 minutes.
Eddie
I mean, it wasn't two minutes.
Bobby Bones
It was like maybe six.
Lunchbox
No. I don't know.
Amy Brown
We started a few minutes late to begin with. And then.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'll check my call log to see when I called Scuba Steve.
Amy Brown
Okay, so there's that.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Now, lunchbox. Then you said.
Lunchbox
I said I'm gonna go watch the video. And in the video you hear Scuba Steve answer the phone.
Eddie

Amy Brown
Is that you driving around? Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Look for all the cars and you'll see ya.

Amy Brown
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
I feel. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was supposed to be on time, and I was like.
Amy Brown
And you weren't because you wanted to drive by my house and honk and so my wife would hear you to be like, did you hear me honking?
Bobby Bones
Now I know I can't be on the phone and paying attention to directions because I missed the turn. Then I was like, oh, I'm driving by your house. But then I was like, oh, shoot, I was supposed to turn back there.
Amy Brown
The point isn't. It's the.
Bobby Bones
The honking came as a result.
Amy Brown
It's that you lied.
Bobby Bones
I didn't lie. That's what I felt like. That wasn't a lie.
Amy Brown
That's what I felt. Your Honor, I'm not lying. That's what I felt.
Bobby Bones
I didn't. I just didn't feel like I was that late. And hearing that, I'm very sorry. Like, I. It wasn't. I swear it wasn't intentional. It wasn't because I left my house with plenty of time.
Lunchbox

Google Could Have Been Bought by Yahoo for $1 Million (3rd Place) Yahoo declined Google's offer to purchase their search engine for $1 million, a decision that cost them dearly. Amy highlights, “Google is now worth 1 trillion. Yahoo bought by Verizon for pennies on the dollar” (06:39).

Alternative Remedies The show highlights scientifically backed alternatives such as quercetin and butterbur extract. Amy recommends, “Quercetin... 500 milligrams, twice daily. This will do better than local honey” (13:35).
