Bobby Bones
This is an I heart podcast. Nourishes like a smoothie and sizzles like a smash burger. Easy to pick up and hard to put down. Made from plants and grills like beef. See, it's not. Or it's. And. And that's what I love about impossible. Just this weekend, a couple impossible burgers. Put them on the grill. Boom. Felt like I was having a cheat meal without the feeling of the guilt of a cheat meal. It's not just burgers. They got hot dogs, chicken. Everything you need for your summer menu. Look for the impossible red packaging at your grocery store today.

Now, I'm Noah, and I'm 13, and I started this podcast because, honestly, adults don't ask the right questions. Now, you know what? Noah de Barrasso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you, it's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it.

Bobby Bones
Mr. Bobby Bones. If you're listening to this podcast for the first time ever, the part one is always the radio show. It is what went over the air. Part two is a podcast, and it is just us doing this. Sometimes for an hour, sometimes less. I think today it will probably be a bit less. No Amy today. I do think she'll be back tomorrow. Eddie went home sick today. I know Eddie did not get it from Amy because they have not been in the same proximity for a couple of weeks. So it is me, Lunchbox Morgan, Abby Raymundo, and Scuba Steve. So you know what that means? Is it classic rock? Scuba? What's next?
Lunchbox Morgan
So tonight we're doing the one we.
Bobby Bones
Talked about last week, that Touch Peel.
Lunchbox Morgan
Stand from Days, the new.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's a good one. Yeah. That is, though.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Then I'm gonna do.
Lunchbox Morgan
By your request, I'm gonna do a pod for next week.
Bobby Bones
I don't think I requested that, Did I? Think I was just singing it.
Lunchbox Morgan
We were singing, and Eddie didn't know it, so I feel like, why not do that one?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's a good one. We are, we are Youth of a nation. Morgan, do you know that song?
Morgan
No, I have no idea. You guys might as well be speaking another language.
Lunchbox Morgan
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
We are. We're speaking 2000s. That's the language we're speaking. 2000s. Okay, couple things. Tonight's Powerball drawing is up to 750 million bucks. I've been jaded by the Powerball because if it's not a billion, I'm like, I don't even want to be interested in it. But I would cut off a pinky toe for 5 million bucks. But it's 750 million. I'm like, I don't know this and made the news. I'm not playing it. Lunchbox. Are you playing it?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, I'm playing. I got $100 worth of tickets.
Bobby Bones
Would you have played it anyway? Do you play it regardless of where it is?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, but I don't put that much money. $100 is a big jump in on the Powerball. I mean, because if you think $100, you turn it into seven. You're like basically a Mark Cuban. You take a hundred dollars and turn it into 750 million. People look at you different.
Bobby Bones
They look at you as, wow, you're the luckiest person ever. I think Mark Cuban, you don't think he's lucky. You think he well informed, educated, strategized, risk taker, that kind of stuff, you know?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, but he did get lucky with his job and being the one that had to open the shop and no one being at the shop and him having time to read the manual, I.
Bobby Bones
Think that's him doing it. Doesn't matter. It's not something I really want to get into here. Not a big luck guy, but yeah.
Lunchbox Morgan
So this could be my last podcast.
Bobby Bones
It's the 10th largest prize ever. The cash value is estimated at 338.6 million. That's a full cash value. That means after taxes and after you get the lump sum, the odds of winning are 1 in 292.2 million. The drawing is tonight. CBS News.
Lunchbox Morgan
Man, that'd be cool.
Bobby Bones
Do you think there are things that you can do to shift your odds of winning? Many things you can say or ways you can act?
Lunchbox Morgan
Man, I've tried. I've tried the lottery gods. I've given homeless people money. As I walk into the store. I bought them a bag. You know, I've done different things, gone to different gas stations. And there is something. I just haven't figured out what it is yet.
Bobby Bones
Like, I mean, let me propose it. Let me propose one. Because I did say if Arkansas makes the College Football Playoff, which is the top 12 teams, I would give somebody random $10,000 just in cash. I think if you commit to. If you win, you give. You give 20% of the lump sum to us on the show to split.
Lunchbox Morgan
Oh, how much is that?
Bobby Bones
Well, I threw the paper away, but.
Lunchbox Morgan
Hold on, hold on. Three hundred and something. Million. Let's just go 300.
Bobby Bones
Let's just say it's 250 million.
Lunchbox Morgan
All right, what is.
Bobby Bones
Okay, 10% of that would be 25.
Lunchbox Morgan
Or what did you say? I got to give you 20% of.
Bobby Bones
300 I'll let you do the math.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So 10% of 300 million would be 30 million times 2 is 60 million.
Lunchbox Morgan
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Would you give us 60 million if you hit? And I think by you committing to this and it could actually affect if you win tonight.
Lunchbox Morgan
Now, do you get even amounts, or do I get to distribute it?
Bobby Bones
Like, no, it has to be. It has to be distributable to everybody.
Lunchbox Morgan
Like, Abby gets a dollar, you know?
Bobby Bones
No, it has to be distributable to everybody here in this room in the glass room right now.
Lunchbox Morgan
So that would leave me with how much? 240 million.
Bobby Bones
Is that even enough for you, though? That's the question. It may not be enough.
Lunchbox Morgan
That's a question, man. Like, you go from 750 million, whatever.
Bobby Bones
You don't go from 750. You go from 300 down to 300.
Lunchbox Morgan
And then down to 240. I mean, I'd do it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so I need you to.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
I need you to commit to this and say it. And say, this is not a bit. You commit to it. If you do win, we are getting it. Go ahead.
Lunchbox Morgan
If I hit the powerball jackpot on August 25, 2025, and I win all $700 billion.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Lunchbox Morgan
I will give the show 20%.
Bobby Bones
Okay, we're all in, boys. We didn't have to pay for that one, but it'd be worth it if you do hit.
Lunchbox Morgan
Oh, it's so worth it. So worth it. I mean, goodness. I could have a chauffeur. I could have a chef.
Bobby Bones
We'd all get, like, 8 million bucks. That's pretty good.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, that's not bad, man. And then you guys would all be thanking me every day for your riches. That would be cool, too, Unless they.
Bobby Bones
Would thank me for negotiating this deal.
Lunchbox Morgan
Oh, Morgan, I'm in.
Bobby Bones
Because you really didn't want to give anybody. You really didn't want to give anybody the money.
Lunchbox Morgan
When you go to your mansion, would you be thinking, lunchbox got me this?
Morgan
I mean, yeah, I don't know that I'd be going to, like, a mansion. I don't know what I would do with all that money. But, yeah, I would definitely be like, this is pretty cool. I got some free money. Just because Lunchbox was so enticed by the idea of winning, I think you'd.
Bobby Bones
Be like, I'm so glad that Bobby negotiated this from him when he definitely did something.
Morgan
Definitely that, too. I would be thanking both, but I'd.
Lunchbox Morgan
Get 51% of the credit. Right.
Bobby Bones
I don't you can have that. I'll take 49. Yeah. Southwest Airlines is tightening up its long standing customer of size policy. Starting January 27th of next year, the same day the airline rolls out assigned seating, refunds for a second seat will only be given if the flight isn't sold out. Both seats are bought in the same ferry class, and so a refund is requested within 90 days. So the airline now requires anyone who can't fit between two armrests to purchase an extra seat up front rather than leaving it optional. Okay, so let me, let me get this straight. So now you have to buy two seats and you can get a refund? That what this is?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, if there's an empty seat next to you, like, if the plane doesn't get sold out.
Bobby Bones
Got it. You can get a refund.
Lunchbox Morgan
You can get a refund for that. For.
Bobby Bones
But they're changing that then because of assigned seating. You have to buy that seat so they can't sell it, so you don't get a refund.
Lunchbox Morgan
I think that's what it's saying. Yes.
Bobby Bones
Got it. I saw the other Menendez brother did not get paroled. Dang. They both got shut down.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah. I listened to the. I guess it was the first one, Eric. I listened to the audio from the. What do you call it? The parole hearing. Man, it was awesome. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why? What happened?
Lunchbox Morgan
Well, you just hear the guy going, you know, and, you know, it's like, we took this into account and then your behavior in prison, and we don't think you're ready for parole. And he just tells them the reasons, like, you think you're above the law, basically because he was sneaking cell phones into the prison. And he was like, they can wait three more years, five more years or 15 more years is what they could implement until they can have another parole hearing. And the judge or whatever it is in there, I don't even know who the person is, said, you can reapply in three years.
Bobby Bones
All right. Mark Garagos, the lawyer for Eric and Lyle Menendez, is speaking out after both brothers were denied parole following separate hearings. Boy, they were so optimistic that they were both getting out. So then I expect at least one of them to get out. And they both were told no. The lawyer claims the parole process was rigged, saying that if the public saw what happened during the hearings, quote, there would be a revolution. He criticized commissioners for unfair reasoning, pointing out that during Lyle's hearing, his cell phone usage was compared to gang activity, even though such devices are widely available in prisons through official and Unofficial channels, that is from E. Online. Yeah, I was surprised. Again, I was only surprised because of how optimistic the family was. And also I'll add to that all of the new attention paid onto them because of the series is one, the docu series and the two. I think there was a series two that was with actors, right, Mike? Yeah, there was. Yeah. So I thought with that, because it did give new perspective to people that maybe didn't know about the case from way back in the day that they were abused and if that had caused them to act in that way to murder their freaking family.
Morgan
So can I ask a question? Because I really don't have much.
Bobby Bones
May not know that, may not know the educated answer, but give it to me.
Morgan
Yeah, I mean, I just don't know much about this case, I guess, besides what's been in the news recently. So to my understanding, they were adults who were moved out of the house and it happened, or they were kids when they did it.
Bobby Bones
One was 18, almost 21. They were rich kids. I think one of them maybe was still there.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, I think the 18 year old was still there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And so they hid and killed him. And so the question was about all of the abuse that they suffered from the dad. Do they feel like their dad was still abusive? Could he have been more abusive to them, was abusive to other people? All of this unfolded, I won't even say it unfolded during the real trial to the public because it was weird. We only had like one channel that talked about the trial on the news, so you really didn't get all the specific details. Maybe you heard it once they moved off of it, but I think later on it became more of. Let's look at it from the perspective of these kids who are being abused. Yes, they did murder their parents. But does, does any of this justify any of that? And I, I guess it didn't. I don't know enough about it to have an opinion on it, but I don't know if that answers your question.
Morgan
Yeah, no, it does. And then to our understanding, the only thing that they did in prison that was bad is that they were bringing in cell phones.
Bobby Bones
You have to ask Lunchbox that he heard the, the commissioner talking.
Lunchbox Morgan
They did other. They weren't models.
Morgan
I just wonder what that means.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, but they're saying that means you had to pay someone off. You had to put, you know, because that can order, you know, not saying they were ordering hits, but they were like, you can order, you know, drugs to be delivered. You can order someone to be attacked outside of prison. We don't know what you're doing with the cell phones.
Morgan
Got it.
Lunchbox Morgan
And so it just provides a dangerous thing for the guards is what they're saying. And they're saying, obviously you don't think the rules apply to you.
Morgan
Okay. So, yeah, I just have no information on them.
Bobby Bones
Imagine if you're famous in jail. You wouldn't think the rules applied to you. Right.
Morgan
Well, especially after. Then they have a whole series about him. Like, what?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because I'm sure you're treated differently. Like, you don't think that Tiger King treated differently. I did see where he posted a deal that was like, all right, we're trying to get out. He's been saying that forever. But he did post that like, his. It won't be a pardon. You can be pardoned. You can be. You sentence can be commuted. I think he just will take anything to get out. And I think he still has hope that they'll let him out, but there's really no benefit to put him out. Like with the. The Chrisleys, they only got. They didn't get let out because they were innocent. They got let out because their daughter worked for the president. That's it. If you're rich and you're connected, you here have the whole world. It can be put to you on a silver platter. The most annoying thing was when they would show the videos of the Chrisleys getting out of jail playing, like, praise music like, jesus, let him out of jail. That's the biggest. That's the biggest crock of crap because.
Morgan
They didn't sell those.
Bobby Bones
They didn't do anything to get out of jail. Except the daughter knew Trump. That's it. Now, listen, if I knew Trump and my parents were in jail, I'd be trying to squeeze that out, too. Of course, who wouldn't? But they weren't, like, let off. They weren't. They're not innocent. Yeah, that's bull crap. That being said, I would have taken advantage of the bull crap, but that's bull crap. Does anybody think that wasn't bull crap, by the way? Yeah, everybody feels like it's pretty shady, right?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah. I mean, it's definitely weird that it just all of a sudden happened.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's just like, if you're connected, this is generally. In life, if you're connected, things are going to happen for you a whole lot easier and a whole lot better. I just got irritated at them. They were like, yep, Jesus let us out. Jesus didn't. Okay, Jesus put you in, didn't they.
Morgan
Do, like, podcast episodes, too. When they got out, I never.
Lunchbox Morgan
Oh, they're doing a new show.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they're doing it all. They got a new show coming out. And listen, I don't hate them for that. I actually like Todd, so I have no, this isn't anything personal. But. And also, I'll say if I was connected, I would have. Yes, same. But they were only let out not because there was. They found a flaw in the system. There was no flaw in the system. It's. If you're connected, you get things. If you're not, you don't.
Morgan
They got. So basically they served because they were guilty and then they got acquitted.
Lunchbox Morgan
Which pardon?
Bobby Bones
No, they didn't get acquitted.
Morgan
Okay, so they got pardoned. So which just means they just get out. It doesn't mean that they got like, there wasn't a trial to show that they were innocent. Right. They just got let out.
Bobby Bones
Correct. Yeah, that's correct. The president. And listen, every president pardons people, especially. Usually it's the end of the term. Usually it's the end of eight years when you're out or the four when you don't get reelection or if you're connected. If you're super connected. Yeah, that's wild. That's wild.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah. And you know what's crazy about the Menendez brothers? Not to go back to that. But they didn't.
Bobby Bones
They need to know, Trump, they didn't.
Lunchbox Morgan
Get busted until six months later.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox Morgan
Like, that's unbelievable. Like, they were, like, trying to, like, pin it on business contacts, saying, oh, we came home and we found the bodies like this.
Bobby Bones
And yeah, I just wonder when they find out who killed JonBenet, like, where that one thread is. We're never going to find out with some DNA. Well, who knows? But what is it that we, that, that we haven't uncovered? We, like I'm involved in the process. What is it that. That people haven't uncovered that is there we just haven't seen yet. They haven't seen or they haven't put the pieces together, or it's going to.
Lunchbox Morgan
Wait till someone's deathbed until they.
Bobby Bones
This is how I look at that, too.
Lunchbox Morgan
I feel like either it's someone that's in the know and they have connections at the police department that are like, all right, you know what I mean? We're not going to do anything. I don't know. I feel like the whole thing is shady and there's people that know people in powerful positions, and that's why we don't know who did it?
Bobby Bones
The deathbed thing would be interesting though, because they're going to say something and someone's going to go, oh, well that makes sense now because we saw this and just didn't put this and this together. Like there are some pieces somewhere that aren't connected yet. And yeah, there are a few of those.
Morgan
I wonder how many cold cases there are like that, like the, the, the biggest cold cases, you know what I mean, where they've gone on for decades.
Bobby Bones
The thing about that one though, and the reason that that one is a very famous case is because she's a little pretty white girl. You've seen those, right? Where like blonde white women get all the news coverage and minorities don't get any. So I would imagine there are millions. Millions, maybe a million. I don't know. I don't, I have no idea how many cold cases there are. But we really only hear about the ones that are like, you can rattle them off and like Natalie Holloway, those type of cases, but they just never actually make it to us because the news knows that it's not going to get a lot of clicks or views. But yeah, so sad.
Lunchbox Morgan
Natalie Holloway, man, I remember that.
Bobby Bones
That's a crazy one. And finally, Jorn Vandersloot was the dude, right?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Finally he went to jail because I think he admitted it.
Lunchbox Morgan
I think he killed another chick.
Bobby Bones
Yep, that's right. I think he was in jail. Right. For killing the other girl.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, he was in a different prison. Then he finally said, you know what, I'll tell you where what happened. And I guess he admitted it. And here's the crazy part. One of my neighbors was on that trip that had happened.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, we were just talking like how.
Bobby Bones
Did that never come up?
Lunchbox Morgan
Well, I mean it was just at a backyard barbecue and he was just like, I don't know how we got on the topic, but he's like, yeah, we were seniors together and that was it. I mean we didn't really talk about. He was like. And the next morning it was just like, oh, there's. She's. Someone's missing. And we flew back to the United States and that was really it. Like he didn't really know her, but he was on the trip this Labor Day.

What I love about impossible. You don't have to pick. It tastes great. It's delicious meat made from plants so you get to eat good and still go big. I'm talking about full on protein and full on cheat day meals without the cheat day fills. It's fuel for your body and it tastes delicious. That is the most important part, right? It comes from plants. It grills like beef. It's not or it's and it's impossible. Look, I love burgers. There's nothing like the grill going nice summer afternoon, getting that perfect burger, stacking it high, the whole deal, right? Summertime burgers. But I also like knowing that I'm not wrecking my cholesterol or feeling super heavy afterwards. It's everything you love about meat without the guilt of meat. Impossible. Let you have both. It's awesome. So if you're like me and you want to eat good and you want to feel good, grab some impossible meat products next time you're at the store. Red packaging. You can't miss it. It's everything you want from meat and everything you didn't expect from plants.

Now, there was a story I saw, too. And speaking of going on trips, the pickpocket and she grabbed the girl by the ponytail.
Morgan
Yeah, that's crazy.
Lunchbox Morgan
Awesome.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I saw it on Tick Tock, but an American tourist in Venice wasn't having it when her purse was nabbed by a pickpocket. Fortunately, she had the Find my Friends feature on her Air AirPods and was able to track the whereabouts of the purse. When she found the purse and the thief who stole it, she grabbed the pickpocket by the ponytail and held it for an hour until police arrived.
Morgan
I'm not.
Bobby Bones
It's hard to get out of a ponytail grab. But I think I could. If someone's holding my ponytail, I'm gonna get out of that ponytail grab. Not by running.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, but that girl was little. Yeah, like 13 or 14. It was like. And her friend was trying to block the camera.
Bobby Bones
What's that, Morgan?
Morgan
It's so ballsy of her to, like, turn around and be like, I'm gonna go after my pickpocketer. When you knew there was multiple of. I mean, I guess I heard her saying, like, she just wanted her passport, which. I get it. If you're stranded in a country without your passport.
Bobby Bones
Yes, of course.
Morgan
That'd probably make me do something crazy, too.
Bobby Bones
You guys see anything good on Tick Tock lately? That's the new thing. I've been watching a lot of, like, people jump off things. I hate heights, but for some reason, it's now my feet of, like, people, like, going down big slides and, like, jumping off high things. I watch these people go up in a hot air balloon. And they go up, but they have a trampoline on the rope below the hot air balloon. So they're above the clouds, and they're all jumping on the trampoline below it. Like, there's a couple people in the balloon, and everybody's jumping on the trampoline below it. And I'm like, oh, my God, this balloon's, like, going up and down, bouncing. And then they all jump off and skydive off the trampoline. It's a crazy video. Like, I watched that and was kind of blown away by it. But the thing is, if you just watch one, then it sends you 72 right after that. And then I was just on that for a minute. Like, all this stuff I watch. There's a guy named. I think it might be Brad. Brad in China. And Brad lives in China. He teaches English. He's an American guy, and he's like, this is my life in China. I just show you guys, like, mostly what you see. America ain't real. It's like they're just showing you that China's the bad guy. But here it is. And he lives in. I forget the name of the city, but he goes to work, walks around at night, shows the streets. Like old people are, like, doing tai chi at 8 o' clock at night. No crime. They shows the subways, man, it's clean. It is clean over there. I've been watching Brad in China, too. Those are the two things I've been watching on my Tick Tock lately. Brad and China and people jumping off crazy Stuff, Morgan. Anything from you? Yeah.
Morgan
So I. I wonder if it's because I just got back from, like, theme parks, but I've been watching Cedar Point's newest roller coaster that people got stuck on. They basically stall all the way at the top, and then there's a huge drop that happens. And there was these people that got stuck on the very, very top and had to, like, ladder climb all the way down, and that was crazy.
Bobby Bones
No way.
Morgan
Yeah. And this. This coaster is, like, one of the biggest ones. It's.
Bobby Bones
They had to ladder climb down.
Morgan
Yeah. And that you had to see. You saw these rescue people go up and they're tying. I'm like. I'm pretty sure that's more terrifying than just being on the coaster and going on the drop.
Bobby Bones
But so did they. Do they put, like, harnesses on them? Each of them individually going down a ladder, or they, like, guys climb. You just got to go and clim.
Morgan
I think they had some version of. Not like a rope, but all you could kind of see is like some. Some version of a rope around them. But they didn't have straight up harnesses because I don't think they had enough for as many people were on there. But they were stalled up there for a while.
Bobby Bones
Dude, that sucks.
Morgan
Yeah, it's. It's a high roller coaster. It's supposed to be, like, one of the newest one. There's that. And then speaking of, like, you were watching Clean, there's this island that's off the coast of Africa that has a thousand people that live on it. But it's like, I don't know, this is not the right number, but 50 square feet, and there's only one toilet, one church, one barber shop. And they all choose to live here because there's, like, some magical fish that are near the island.
Bobby Bones
Have you ever seen those blue zones, Morgan?
Morgan
You know, I'm talking about where they, like, live forever.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
And then they go back, and then they find reasons why the people live forever. And it could be small things, like there's a certain potato that grows there That's. Or one of the blue zones was. Is in Asia, and old people live longer. And because they didn't have chairs, part of the thing was they didn't have chairs. They. So they sat on the ground. But what happened with these old people? I'm talking about, like, 80, 90 years old. Since they didn't have chairs, they had to constantly activate their core to stand up. So to sit down, to stand up, they had to keep those muscles moving and going Therefore, they didn't fall and break stuff. Their muscles were stronger, longer. They lived longer. Like a lot of those things. I wonder if that fish area is one of the blue zones. I'm gonna tell you, I'd rather die a little early and have my bathroom now.
Morgan
Yeah, you'd want to share one toilet with 999 other people.
Bobby Bones
I got to think they're not using the toilet, though. I got to think for the most part, if that's the case, there's one toilet, pretty much everybody's peeing on trees and pooping in holes.
Morgan
Well, and they said like that one toilet, the sewage goes into the water where the fish are.
Bobby Bones
So like, oh, they're poop fish. Yeah.
GoDaddy Advertiser
Crazy.
Morgan
He had a dude, he did this whole YouTube video on it, and I was just amazed.
Bobby Bones
Anything on TikTok Lunchbox?
Lunchbox Morgan
I did see someone on an amusement ride. It was like. I don't know, it was like this big wheel and there was this. I don't know why they weren't wearing seat belts. They were just holding onto the bars behind them. And this dude, I mean, he's a massive man. I would say obese. And it is bouncing him up and down and he's falling all over. His pants are falling down. Really funny. But no, I don't follow anybody in particular, but that was the funniest video I'd seen in a while.
Bobby Bones
Speaking of fish, fisherman in Florida is recovering after being bitten by a shark. While posing for a photo with the shark during a fishing trip, he and his friends went and they caught what they call a lemon shark. I don't know what that is. Off the coast. And they took the hook out and he held the shark up for a picture and it jerked free, bit him on the leg, fell in the water and swam off.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. A lemon shark is 11 foot and it's 220 pounds. That's huge.
Lunchbox Morgan
That's a big.
Bobby Bones
Don't you think before you take the picture with that fish, you're making sure it's dead.
Lunchbox Morgan
Or tape his mouth shut.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't know if duct tape's gonna hold his mouth shut, but yeah. Emergency crews arrived. 10:55pm Found him with a severe leg injury. Treat him with a tourniquet. Medical care, he's gonna be okay. But yeah, look what I got to get to get the shot. The fish not only bit him, then went back home. Like, he got his. He got his prize and went back home.
Morgan
It feels like karma, you know, Just a beast.
Bobby Bones
Bandit.
Morgan
Well, you know you just. I don't know, you killing an animal and it fights back, it's karma killing it.
Lunchbox Morgan
They were just taking a picture. He was probably gonna toss it back. Catch and release.
Bobby Bones
If somebody caught me, I try to bite him.
Lunchbox Morgan
That's true.
Bobby Bones
I try to kill him. If somebody caught me with a rope and pulled me in and took a picture with me, I didn't know what was about to happen. I'm gonna do everything I can possible to make them feel all the pain they can feel.
Morgan
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
See, justice for the shark. Justice for the lemon shark is what I say. All right, Beef bandit is next. A beef bandit in Louisiana, also my nickname in college, the beef Bandit was arrested after stealing hundreds of dollars worth of meat from Walmart by stuffing it in his pants. A beef bandit was arrested. The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office said dispatchers received a call Wednesday morning about a man who left Walmart without paying for the items, only to return and try again. They went in and they found 300 bucks in meat all in his clothes. I get it. Meat's got a high resale value.
Morgan
It does.
Bobby Bones
We don't know it's been next to his dong. You just know that there's meat like meat where the expiration date still on it. And you buy it.
Lunchbox Morgan
Where do you sell that?
Morgan
Yeah. Do you just, like, sell it in the parking lot?
Bobby Bones
Yep. And you sell it anywhere. You'd sell anything else. Like in Mountain Pine, they used to steal stuff and they. They'd drive up and just do drive. Drive sales. Hey, you want speakers? Was a big thing before it started to be fake speakers, that it was just stolen stuff.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So there was also a guy that drove around, sold meat, but I don't know if he stole it, but it was bad meat. Like, you would pay money for it, and then the meat would, like, fall apart. So I think he was buying it and then just selling it, but it was really bad.
Morgan
See, that's what I would like. I feel like I'd get sick if I'm buying meat from out of a car.
Bobby Bones
A woman in Milwaukee is facing a felony charge after causing around $10,000 in damages to a door dash driver's vehicle over a failed chicken wings order. Man, she must have really been looking forward to those wings. I know what it's like to really look forward to an order and then it's wrong or they forget something. That sucks. That's a sucky feeling. But I never wanted to beat up somebody's car because of it. On July 11, driver Faith Morris picked up A late night food delivery, but couldn't complete it when her phone service was cut off. She said she waited outside the customer's home and then headed back. And then that's when the person became enraged. She tracked Morris to her home and then smashed her car with a tire iron and threw a brick, shattering windows like she pursued vengeance.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah. I thought it was gonna be in, like, her, you know, driveway or something of the delivery.
Bobby Bones
Dang. People magazine with that story. Hey, what was that? I saw you eating all that food at the fair, Morgan. How was that?
Morgan
I had fried butter and fried cookie dough.
Bobby Bones
I saw the fried butter in your story. I didn't know I can't eat butter anymore because of my dairy issue, But I didn't know what the pill of fried butter is by itself, because I never eat butter that's not fried by itself. So why would I want to eat fried butter?
Morgan
I don't know. I saw it, and I was like, I feel like I have to try this just for the sake of trying it. And it tasted like. I would have thought it would be a butter stick. And it was just a butter stick, deep fried, but it was kind of like a little slice of butter. And then they fried it, and it tasted like a really buttery homemade roll is really what it ended up tasting like.
Bobby Bones
So it's more than just butter. Yeah, it feels like it. Because, again, I wouldn't eat butter not fried. And any of the other stuff that I would eat fried. Like fried ice cream, fried pickles, fried. I would eat it originally before it's fried. Just the frying makes it more appealing.
Morgan
Yeah, right.
Bobby Bones
Butter I wouldn't eat not fried.
Morgan
And that's how I was. But I was like, I'm here, and I was gonna get the fried cookie dough anyway. So I was like, I'm gonna try the fried butter just to see why they even do this. And it tasted so much better than I was anticipating, honestly.
Bobby Bones
How was the fried cookie dough?
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. The fried.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
I would eat that fried cookie dough if I had no repercussions every day of my life. It was so good. Had powdered sugar on it. Yeah, it was really good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's hard to go wrong with powdered sugar, really, on anything.
Morgan
I know. There's so much fried things. Like, I really think they've taken every single food group and just said, we're gonna fry it.
Bobby Bones
They've probably tried, right? Frying everything. Because it's not like there are many food rules at the fair. You can. You can Experiment away with. Let me ask my assistant here, because I think.
Lunchbox Morgan
How do you do butter without it melting?
Morgan
I. I would imagine you freeze it kind of like cookie dough. You freeze it and then you.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's a good question.
Lunchbox Morgan
I was just.
Bobby Bones
Is that what happened with cookie dough?
Morgan
That's.
Bobby Bones
They freeze it.
Morgan
That's what I suspect that they do.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I remember having fried beer at the Texas State Fair and they freeze it. Yeah. Fried beer. Yeah.
Morgan
Was that good, Mike?
Bobby Bones
It was pretty good, yeah.
Morgan
See?
Bobby Bones
Hello. Can you give me some of the more interesting things that have been fried at different state fairs across the United States?
State Fair Food Expert
Absolutely. State fairs are kind of legendary for coming up with wild and wacky fried foods. I mean, if you can think of it, they've probably fried it somewhere. Some of the classics that stand out are things like deep fried butter, which is exactly as over the top as it sounds. There's also fried Coca Cola, where they basically turn coke flavored batter into little fritters and drizzle them higher up. And then you get into the really quirky stuff like fried bubble gum, which isn't actually gum, but a bubble gum flavored marshmallow coated and fried. Or even fried avocado slices, fried jelly beans, and fried beer, where the beer is kind of encapsulated in a pretzel dough pocket. So, yeah, state fairs really go all out. It's all about that fried food creativity.
Bobby Bones
Dang, that fried bubblegum sounds pretty good.
Morgan
See, it's always like. I feel like anything fried is just going to taste good, though.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Maybe you're really just eating the fried or something. What's in it? You're just eating the fried with a little flavoring of whatever it was.
Morgan
I did see a really long line too, for. I mean, there was probably 100 people deep in this line for pretzel corn dog or no, sorry, pickled corn dog. So the corn dog had a pickle in it also, huh?
Bobby Bones
Sounds pretty good. I've been going to Sonic a bunch. I always go to Sonic, but I've been going to Sonic a bunch because they have. This is not an ad. Sonic is not even a partner right now. So I want to say that up front. You're not getting hit with an ad. The. The greatest thing about what Sonic has now is their whole pickle line. And I like pickles, but I'm not Mr. Pickle. I haven't missed Pickle since, like, I was 24. So they have pickle bubbles that I put into the water because I get the Route 44 and I put the nerds in it. And then you put pickle bubbles in it. And you may think to yourself, that sounds disgusting. You gotta try it. They have pickle fries, which are fries. And I had these fries with pickle, like, pickle flavoring. A. Yeah.
Morgan
I would eat those.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't know what it is about the pickle flavoring that make. Because the pickle flavoring makes it so much better than if it were just a pickle. Because I like pickles. Fine. But I'm never going to order pickles. But I'm telling those pickle bubbles. Awesome. Whenever I had a Piccadilly, and this is probably a Texas thing, because the Texas is close to Mexico, at a Piccadilly snow cone, which is like a strawberry snow cone with literal pickles in it and pickle. Pickle juice. And you think that sounds disgusting, but the truck was parked near my house, and I thought, I'm gonna have one of those. It was awesome. I had one every day for, like, 41 days. Then what is that red snow cone with chopped pickles and pickle juice in it? Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox Morgan
Yeah, it.
Bobby Bones
Yes, it does sound gross. It is not gross, though. So Sonic's got the whole pickle menu now. It's awesome. It's a little too awesome because there's Sonic really close, and anytime I go by.
Morgan
Is the pickle bubbles like Boba.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Morgan
But they're. Oh, they have pickle.
Bobby Bones
They have pickle juice in them. Yeah. A plus, A plus. Okay. Kind of a weird part two. Thanks to all the part twoers who listen to this. We appreciate you guys, but we're gonna have to end a little early today because we have no Amy. I think she should be in tomorrow. And now we have no Eddie because Eddie left. So I just kind of put us on tilt a little bit here. Wrapping up and gotta figure out. I gotta do 25 whistles without Eddie. You got a whole thing to do here. Thank you, guys, and we will see you tomorrow. We're here. Amy should be back, and you guys have a good rest of the day. Sorry for the short. The abbreviated version. We still did a half hour, so hope that was good for you. All right, bye, everybody. This episode of the Bobby Bones show is brought to you by Chase Sapphire Reserve.

Bobby Bones
This is an iHeart podcast.
Date: August 25, 2025
Host: Bobby Bones (Premiere Networks)
Guests/Co-hosts: Lunchbox (aka Lunchbox Morgan), Morgan, Abby Raymundo, Scuba Steve
This episode of The Bobby Bones Show (Part 2, the podcast-exclusive segment) delivers a lively blend of lottery dreams, true crime, social media tidbits, and fried fair food adventures. The core crew (minus Amy and Eddie, both out sick) riff on the fantasy of splitting a $750 million Powerball lottery win, dissect the Menendez brothers' failed parole bids and alleged courtroom injustices, swap the best TikToks they've seen lately, and marvel at America’s ever-more-outrageous fair foods.
“If I hit the Powerball jackpot on August 25, 2025...I will give the show 20%.” — Lunchbox, 07:49
“He just tells them the reasons, like, ‘You think you’re above the law’...sneaking cell phones into the prison...they can wait three more years, five more years...” — Lunchbox, 10:09
“If you’re rich and you’re connected...it can all be put to you on a silver platter.” — Bobby, 14:26
“State fairs are kind of legendary for coming up with wild and wacky fried foods...if you can think of it, they’ve probably fried it somewhere.” — State Fair Food Expert, 35:10
“You think that sounds disgusting, but...it was awesome. I had one every day for, like, 41 days.” — Bobby, 37:38
The conversation is light, irreverent, and often self-deprecating, with a generous dose of pop culture references. Bobby plays the amused, skeptical ringleader; Lunchbox is both comic relief and earnest dreamer; Morgan brings curiosity and younger perspective. Quick, friendly debate weaves with fits of laughter and relatably odd anecdotes.
This episode is packed with everything from the hilarious to the thought-provoking: lottery-winning hypotheticals, true crime debates with hot ticks on abuse and privilege, the deranged joys of American fried food, and why everyone’s TikTok algorithm is one click from chaos. The chemistry is fun, the stories are outrageous, and there’s always a bit of wisdom hiding under the jokes.
