Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Cruise Culture & Breakfast Adventures

• Cruise Life Logic: Bobby Bones and Scuba Steve open with tongue-in-cheek complaints and jokes about cruise life, including encounters with Disney cruise fans and how breakfast operates more like a tactical sport during high-traffic mornings.
• Navigating the Buffet:
  • Tip: Keep moving to avoid being stopped by listeners with questions.
  • Scuba's "drive-by" method: “As long as you keep walking five to ten miles an hour, people aren’t going to stop you.” (07:29)
  • Buffet access is limited and unpredictable—sometimes covered with saran wrap and blocked by stanchions. (“There is a giant saran wrap thing around the counters.” – Scuba Steve, 19:43)

2. Ship Events: Bingo, Breakfast, and Best Bits

• Bingo Madness:
  • High demand for “Tequila Sunrise Bingo” caused chaos; people were standing everywhere, and they even ran out of bingo boards.
  • Bazer and many others couldn’t get in due to overcrowding. (“It was buck wild. She couldn’t even get in.” – Bobby Bones, 11:04)
• Recording on Ship:
  • Internet and WiFi on board were nearly useless, complicating communication and content creation. “You’d send me a picture, I’d get it in a day. Texts were terrible.” – Scuba Steve, 12:07
  • Agreement not to record a Sore Losers podcast at sea: “I am the captain now. And I said, we’re not doing a podcast.” – Scuba Steve, 12:49

3. Lunch & Food Fiascos

• Limited Food Options:
  • Bobby’s quest for lunch led to numerous closed restaurants or long waits.
  • The only available food at times was “a couple pieces of pasta, and a couple slices of pizza”—usually old and tasteless.
  • “I thought food was always at our fingertips.” – Bobby Bones, 18:18
• Unpredictable Meal Times:
  • Breakfast and lunch opened at unpredictable hours, often leading to frustration and hunger.

4. Casino Escapades

• Legendary Gambling Night:
  • Bobby details an exciting casino session, including a woman from Nashville who used “baby Jesus” figurine for luck.
  • A member of Parmalee’s entourage famously turned a $25 chip into $2,000 in five hands—doubling down, splitting, and catching blackjack.
  • “In five hands. He took that $25 to two grand.” – Bobby Bones, 33:13
• Rivalry Tables:
  • Tables competed by chanting the dealer’s name and booing each other.
• Losing It All:
  • Bobby loses all his winnings in a string of tough hands, encouraged by “baby Jesus guy.”
  • “Terry went three 21s in a row and took your entire 550.” – Scuba Steve, 37:47
  • The struggle to walk away from the table: “All you have to do is get out of your bar stool and walk back to your room... It is the toughest feat when it comes to gambling.” – Scuba Steve, 39:03

5. Arrival in Bimini: Celeb Perks, Guilt & Tropical Trials

• Golf Cart Guilt:
  • Celebrity guests get chauffeured to a private beach while everyone else walked two miles. “I felt so bad… everybody else, two mile track to come hang out with our dumb —" – Scuba Steve, 45:28
• Beach Disappointments:
  • Bad information: Told not to bring cash, only to find everything on the beach required money for food and drinks.
  • Handling logistics for cornhole tournaments and relay races was chaotic; microphone issues and lack of supplies made it a challenge.
  • “The microphone is not wireless, so we can’t even go down to the beach. …Then I have to get a frickin megaphone.” – Bobby Bones, 50:14
• Exclusion & Awkwardness:
  • Some show members (Morgan) were denied access to the event trailer and even lunch due to odd rules.
  • “She’s on the big show with us. How does that make any sense?” – Bobby Bones, 51:53

6. Off-Script Adventures: Smitty’s & Local Color

• The Quest for Smitty’s:
  • After being denied fun and food, Bobby literally walked off the planned path, searching for the local spot Smitty’s with no money or directions.
  • “I have no idea where I’m going, and I just start walking smart in a place you have no idea where you’re going?” – Scuba Steve, 65:35
• Authentic Island Experience:
  • Finally found Scuba and Ray at Smitty’s, experiencing a true local conch feast.
  • Local character Marcus offered colorful conversation and a unique approach to “owning” local animals (“If a dog comes, I got a dog… there’s thousands of iguanas, man.” – Marcus via Scuba Steve, 70:11)
• Streetwise Survival:
  • Comedic tension as Scuba leaves to get cash, with his wife and Bobby joking about the dangers.
  • “Scuba, we’re about to get robbed and killed.” – Bobby Bones, 71:11

7. Life Lessons & Comic Relief

• Island vs. American Stress:
  • Marcus, living a carefree life, contrasts with Bobby’s stressed-out cruise persona:
    • “He looks stressed out, mon.” – Marcus, 67:29
    • “Why be stressed? Less stress, more life.” – Scuba Steve, 73:14
• Who Actually Cares About the ‘Big Moment’?
  • Bobby’s American stress about missing out on introducing Lee Brice is met with total island indifference:
    • “Who cares about Lee Bryce, man? We on the island.” – Marcus, 74:01

Final Thoughts

This episode offers not just escapist fun, but also a playful critique of both American overscheduling and the tendency for even vacations to bring stress instead of relaxation. Bobby and Scuba Steve’s self-deprecating humor, rolling anecdotes, and lessons learned the hard way will leave the listener laughing—and maybe rethinking their own approach to stress, cruise ships, and the pursuit of vacation “perfection.”

[Scuba Steve]

Disney cruise.

[Bobby Bones]

Ooh, I don't know if I could handle that.

[Scuba Steve]

My buddy went on one. He's like, 50, single guy, went on Disney cruise.

[Bobby Bones]

Not sure that's okay. I am not sure that's all right.

[Scuba Steve]

He loved it.

[Bobby Bones]

And not sure that's.

[Scuba Steve]

He thought he was gonna be at a port the same time as us. He was in Cozumel, so they're in a different route. It was a different run, but he loved it.

[Bobby Bones]

Next year will be in Cozumel.

[Scuba Steve]

I believe he's like, 55. Troy, Florida.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't. I thought Disney cruises were only for kids, like families.

[Scuba Steve]

Me and Bazer met up with him in Florida, and he hooked up tickets at Disney.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Scuba Steve]

New best friend.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you know that guy?

[Scuba Steve]

Met him online randomly.

[Bobby Bones]

That sounds about right.

[Scuba Steve]

But he's high up at Disney.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, like, oh, president of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

He goes to Hong Kong. He built the Hong Kong.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. So did you, like, slide in the DMS or he slide into your DMs?

[Scuba Steve]

I think he hit me up. I never know the origination of stuff, but super cool dude now. I mean, loves Michigan. He'll text, watch Michigan drinking beer. He's got a hot tub, pool chilling. Great dude, but, yeah, love the Disney cruise.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever hang out with him?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, we did when we went to Disney.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, did you guys go to his house?

[Scuba Steve]

Never went to his house. He came to our hotel. We partied. We met up with him at Disney, and he had a chick with him. We all hung out, showed us the ropes, got us front of the line and stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

How was she?

[Scuba Steve]

Crazy drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

I don't believe she. He talks to her anymore. She was nuts. Like, we would take a picture and, like, she'd do everything but flash. We're like, it's Disney. Tone it down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That doesn't really go with the Disney theme.

[Scuba Steve]

It was Epcot.

[Bobby Bones]

That's Disney, but that's the around the

[Scuba Steve]

world one where everybody drinks at it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, got it. Yeah. For the fireworks at Disney.

[Scuba Steve]

There wasn't ones at that one. We did it. The Magic Kingdom was it.

[Bobby Bones]

Magic Kingdom. That has them.

[Scuba Steve]

Baser wanted to do a coach. I felt like a predator the whole time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because I was in Florida for a couple of times for soccer tournaments as an adult. And Becky and Joe, they were married, they lived in Florida, they worked at Disney, and they lived close by. And I went by there and I saw ice from their front porch. You could just watch the fireworks. It was awesome.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. They do a huge show almost comparable to Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then they moved back to Houston, so now they don't have that house where you can watch the fireworks from their front porch.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, cool. Mickey Mouse.

[Bobby Bones]

I was neat.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But that has nothing to do with our cruise, dude. We're. Where are we at? We're in.

[Scuba Steve]

We're heading towards Bimini.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We are out of Nassau and we're headed to Bimini.

[Scuba Steve]

And what do you know? The ship never left until 10am because it's not that far. So we really could have partied all night. There was no reason to be at port, which they told us at 1:30. The boat never left. We were. We. I believe me and Bazer woke up and we were still at port.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Scuba Steve]

And then we started driving once we were doing the show and everybody's getting sick because the guy was going one mile an hour because apparently Nassau to Bimini is one mile nautical. So the boat was just doing figure eight.

[Bobby Bones]

Steve said, yeah, I didn't know that because right when Keith Urban ended, I went in, closed the door, balcony, shut the shades, lights out.

[Scuba Steve]

Somebody like you. Enough of that sh.

[Bobby Bones]

No. And I was just like, good night. And so I was asleep. So I had no idea that we just sat at port. But that's cool to know we were us. You're not me.

[Scuba Steve]

Good night, Keith Urban.

[Bobby Bones]

But, yeah, I woke up that next morning and I'm like, all right, here. Let's get the day going. And we went and got breakfast. Morgan and I went to the buffet.

[Scuba Steve]

Y' all are wild.

[Bobby Bones]

We gotta eat, man.

[Scuba Steve]

But I would do a drive by just because we were talking to people all day long. I'm trying to save the voice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So as long as you don't keep. You don't stop moving, you're good. So, I mean, I was grabbing bacon as I was dropping Some on the floor and still putting it on my plate. I would head to the eggs. One scoop, you're out. And then people don't have time to stop you corner you, ask you questions, when's the baby born? Is it a boy or a girl? Stuff like that. The coffee guy, he would always know. I'd tell him my order when I started and by the time I was done, he had it waiting for me. I'd grab it. As long as you're walking five to ten miles an hour fast, people aren't going to stop you. And because we had to get to the show, you guys, you and Morgan would go sit down and have the lord's breakfast with 15 of our closest friends.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I just always was hungry and I knew I had to eat. And right when I'd walk into breakfast. Oh Lord, you look like crap. Oh man, you're hungover. Going to be a long day for you. Thank you guys. How about maybe I woke up 45 seconds ago, I peed and I walked down here and it takes me a little bit to wake up. Just cause you look tired doesn't mean you're hungover.

[Scuba Steve]

Every time, minds me of my grandmother to my dad. My dad. I believe we're getting ready for one of my cousin's graduations. And my dad had been working all morning. He's like even setting up tables and chairs and everything. His hair is a little messy, but I mean he'd been working his butt off all morning. On a Saturday. Saturday, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Helping family. It wasn't his side, but it's non blood, it's mixed blood, I don't know. And my grandma hits him with tiger blood. Five hours he'd been balling out with obviously. Me and my brother, we'd lift every chair in all of Flint, Michigan. And my grandma gets there at 11am and goes, Geez, Dave, you just wake up. Oh, hair was a little messy. No, Barbara, I didn't. I've been setting things up for five hours.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh man.

[Scuba Steve]

That's their relationship she hits him with. Did you just wake up? What a lie, dude. What a lied.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's like the one girl Franny I met the first day at lunch and we were at the blackjack tournament and she yells out lunch. Your face looks swollen today. What? Huh? You don't look as good as you did the other day. Okay, thanks, Franny.

[Scuba Steve]

But you wore though a little bit. We took a show picture towards this time period that we're at right now. You look swollen. I look like I had Onset seasonal depression. It wasn't looking good, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think maybe seawater inflates your face. I have no idea. But anyway, so I wake up and I eat breakfast. And I had the same thing I always had. Omelette with ham, spinach, bell peppers, onion. Throw some sausage in there. And boom, there you go. And some cheese. Had the omelette every day. That's what I had every day.

[Scuba Steve]

Boom goes the omelet.

[Bobby Bones]

But that way you guarantee it's made right then.

[Scuba Steve]

I understand the thought behind it.

[Bobby Bones]

But the problem is you're having the same thing every day.

[Scuba Steve]

But it is good.

[Bobby Bones]

It is good. Yeah. But then I didn't even go to the show because I had Keith played breakfast. No, I had bingo. Tequila sunrise bingo. And they had it in this little blue sky lounge, thinking, oh, not that many people are going to come to bingo. Oh, my gosh. The line was out the door, past the pool, out to the outdoor pool. It was forever long.

[Scuba Steve]

Bazer confirmed this. She couldn't even get in. It was not.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, they had guys hauling chairs in there. They were bringing folding chairs and just line just putting a folding chair anywhere one would fit.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, it might have been me and Bazer's folding chair at Lori's place from Keith Urban the night before.

[Bobby Bones]

It could have been. And there was just chairs everywhere, people standing everywhere. They sold out of freaking boards. Some of the people that wanted boards couldn't even get them. Cause they didn't have enough printed just

[Scuba Steve]

right on your arm. We'll see if you got a bingo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, just guess the numbers. You guys make up your own board and then cross them off.

[Scuba Steve]

You could get a napkin from the bar and write your bingo card down. Yeah, she said it was buck wild. She couldn't even get in.

[Bobby Bones]

Bazer, it was buck wild. And you and I were going to try to do a sore losers pod after bingo. And you were texted me at like 11:30 and bingo was still going on. And Morgan told me you gave three minute wait time and you were out of there three minutes. And you bailed.

[Scuba Steve]

No, because she. Yeah. First of all, guys, on the ship, the WI FI texting, you would send me a picture, I'd get it in a day. Texts were terrible. We did the walkie talkie thing that never worked. Nobody ever used them. I chilled there. But also the audio guy was chilling there and he was just wondering, are you guys doing it? And then I had to come to Jesus Moment I said, we recorded our pods before we came here so we didn't have to have this conversation. My voice hurt. I knew your voice was going to be bad. We had places to be. Morgan was also trying to finagle a way to record a best bits with you. I said, I will stand down. We will not do a podcast. Goodbye, definitive answer. Sometimes you need that at sea. Oh, am I going to go left, right? What am I going to do at sea? A captain makes a decision. I put on the I am the captain now. And I said, we're not doing a podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. And I wasn't mad about it. I can't be upset. No big deal.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, I did dick around there for like 10 minutes, but I was

[Bobby Bones]

like, she says three, 10, three. It doesn't matter. I wasn't done with bingo and I didn't get done with Bing bingo for a while.

[Scuba Steve]

I can check the text with Bazer and I can tell you the exact text. I said, wtf are you? Because I'm ditching lunch. And it was probably about 25 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there ain't no way it's 25 minutes. Let's see, let's see. I will say this, though. You're right about the text and the WI fi because Morgan sent me those pictures and videos of me playing in the waves at Cabbage beach, and I have them on my phone, but they won't let me download them still.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. And. Oh, dude, look at these pictures from Baser. Guys, you get on a ship and no Internet, the world will panic if this happens stateside. Look at this picture after picture that won't download. Look at this, bro.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, dude, look at this. Well, even we're off the ship now. It won't download.

[Scuba Steve]

I know. I don't understand it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, here you go. 45 minutes after we wrapped with the Bobby Bones show, I said, hey, where can I meet you? I'm kidding. I just made that up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you texted me at 10:08. Get your up here. That sounds about right. And I replied at 10:47. Coach, my stuff didn't end until. Yeah. Oh, 11:30. Oh, so you texted me at 11:08 because this was on Eastern time.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, I see. That's eights different than three minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you. What time do you text Baser said in.

[Scuba Steve]

Text her. Because I was saying. I go. Come here real quick. Does your Internet work? Excuse me, did you get this? Excuse me. Is his event done? Excuse you. Please come back. I said, please come back at 10:22. So the time that fits exactly. That's more than three.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, whatever. Anyway, so then afterwards I'm like, I got to get something to eat. And I go to the little cafe right there. Oh, it's closed. Like, it was so crazy how nothing was open when I needed it to be open. Then Morgan's like, we got to do best bits. Oh, my gosh. I just got done with bingo. I had a very good strawberry daiquiri. Someone got me.

[Scuba Steve]

You did best bets on the ship. You ended up doing it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, my gosh. You're a little boozy, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, it was like I just wanted to relax. But Morgan wanted to do best bitch. He thought it would be so much fun from the ship. And really, it was just the same thing. We just talked a little bit about the ship.

[Scuba Steve]

No, I'm not saying ours wouldn't have been fun.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Scuba Steve]

Our voices just weren't great.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not saying that we made a bad decision. I'm saying that doing best bits from the ship, I don't think it made it any different.

[Scuba Steve]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Could have recorded that a week ahead of time. Yeah, same thing. So then I'm like, all right, I gotta go to the. I gotta go eat after this and. All right. No, I tried to get a sandwich. This is what happened.

[Scuba Steve]

I'd like a cold cut.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there was a little cafe right there by the indoor pool. Right.

[Scuba Steve]

If I heard you saw that and say that to the bellhop, I would have lost my.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, Right there by the bell hop.

[Scuba Steve]

I need a cold cut, a Sammy something from the deli.

[Bobby Bones]

There was this one little restaurant right there by the indoor pool.

[Scuba Steve]

I know what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

And I. And I go up there and I try to get a sandwich.

[Scuba Steve]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

And they said all that. It was just a turkey or ham sandwich. I don't know which one was bacon, avocado, and I don't want any of that mayonnaise on there. You can take that off. Okay, sir. It'll be about a 30 minute wait.

[Scuba Steve]

What do you got to import it?

[Bobby Bones]

A 30 minute wait. To throw some lunch meat on some bread with some bacon and avocado. He goes, yeah, man. I was like, my name's been in. I'm not in it. Okay. I'm not. I'm not doing it, so. All right, cool. So we record best bits. And let me tell you, best bits takes an hour and a half.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, Coach. I love the promotion of another show.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just going to tell you why, Ray.

[Scuba Steve]

It's phenomenal. Morgan Masson, Huelsman.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm going to go back down to that Cafe. Now that I have time and get something to eat. We're closed. Yep. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh. So then I have to go because I have to go straight to the semifinals of the blackjack tournament that I'm hosting. Correct. So I go to the casino. I haven't eaten, so I haven't eaten.

[Scuba Steve]

I believe that's when I was following you with the camera. I followed you, and you came in.

[Bobby Bones]

You're right. And so then I come in, and I host that for an hour.

[Scuba Steve]

Again, me and Baser tried to kind of get over there in the vicinity. Couldn't. It was five rows deep in every direction.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, it was so exciting. So fun. People cheering, people that had no interest. They didn't even have a dog in the fight. And they were there to watch the blackjack tournament just because it was so freaking fun.

[Scuba Steve]

And we're still driving to Bimini.

[Bobby Bones]

We're still driving to Bimini. Then I'm like, all right, this is over. I've got to eat lunch. I got to go to the buffet. Go to the buffet. Closed. I thought the food was available all day. No, I thought food was always at our fingertips.

[Scuba Steve]

All right, do we want the audio of how drunk Morgan was at your event?

[Bobby Bones]

No. This is. This is. That's the last day.

[Scuba Steve]

You're jumping ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

You're jumping ahead. This was so frustrating. So what did they have? They had a couple pieces of pasta and a couple slices of pizza.

[Scuba Steve]

I think you said that wrong, but continue.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Scuba Steve]

You said a couple pieces of pasta.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. No, no, they really did. A couple of pieces of pasta, and

[Scuba Steve]

it had to be tasteless.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, and it was the last of it. So you know that it's been sitting there for a long time.

[Scuba Steve]

Thank you for the rubber. They said, I mean, Alfredo.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the buffet. It opens up in 45 minutes. Guys, I haven't eaten lunch. Where can I get lunch around here?

[Scuba Steve]

I'm glad you said this about the timing, because baser thought I was crazy. The breakfast never opened at a set time. It was never seven, 7:38. I tell you, almost every morning, I would come. If you came too early, do you know what it looked like?

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Scuba Steve]

They would put mother saran wrap around every little counter in the buffet area, and you could only have access to tap water.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so awesome.

[Scuba Steve]

Just what I came down here for, tap water. Like the open the buffet.

[Bobby Bones]

That's exactly what it looked like at lunch.

[Scuba Steve]

There was three or four times I almost broke through the saran wrap. I was so damn tired.

[Bobby Bones]

Not Only did they have the saran wrap.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, I'm glad you saw this. Bazer thought I was crazy. I was like, I'm not joking. There is a giant saran wrap thing around the counters.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, not only was there saran wrap, you know who they brought aboard?

[Scuba Steve]

Who?

[Bobby Bones]

Stanchion guy. There were mother freaking stanchions blocking you from even walking by them. They had him saran wrapped and stanchioned off, so you just could not even get close to them.

[Scuba Steve]

Let's get these stanchions out here. We don't need people eating at the buffet at a normal hour. We gotta get these stanchions out.

[Bobby Bones]

So I just got a couple slices of pizza and I sat by the window, and Morgan sat down and we sat and we watched and we just sat there. She was like, we could always just stay until it opens. I'm like, I think that's what I'm gonna have to do because I'm so freaking hungry. And as we're sitting there, we look out the window and we see a three dolphins. Oh, man. And I was like, oh, this is so worth it.

[Scuba Steve]

I bet they have good meat.

[Bobby Bones]

This is so worth it. Then we saw three sisters. They were playing some card game over in the corner. They came and said hello. And I didn't realize so many people just sat in the buffet, like, playing card games. There was a lot of people playing different games. I'm like, oh. So then the buffet finally opens. I eat, and I'm like, thank goodness. Then I go back to the room.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, as you were eating, our friend told us there was a burger station. Apparently there was an option where pool. You had to go to the top floor.

[Bobby Bones]

Never saw it.

[Scuba Steve]

But she also said, 25 minutes. And I said, that's 25 minutes I don't have.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I mean, this. This ship day is going really well for me, as I have not. I had to wait for a buffet, go back to the room, shower. I don't even know why I showered again, because, I mean, I didn't even get off the ship. And then it was just party time.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Then it was time to go to the casino. Like, the casino was open. Like, it was time to make some money.

[Scuba Steve]

Because nautical wise, we're far enough away from the island that you could gamble.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And this is where I saw one of the greatest gambling feats I'd ever seen in my life.

[Scuba Steve]

You got to take a break, and

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to tell you about it right after this.

[Scuba Steve]

Ray A guy stuck the dice up is no, no, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Even after learning my lesson that you never play roulette on a cruise ship because you hit a wave and it bounces out of red 12. If you didn't listen to Wednesday's pod, you have no idea what I'm talking about. And I still started playing roulette and I started playing with this one chick and she bets red 21 just like I do.

[Scuba Steve]

You're such a chick though. I love that. But I dude, roulette is such a chick game.

[Bobby Bones]

Really? Why?

[Scuba Steve]

Because it's the worst odds in the casino. It's just girls like doing it cuz it's easy, throw stuff on numbers, continue.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's fun. It's exciting to have that ball roll around and ding ding ding ding ding ding ding and cheer. And this chick, she's betting two of the columns just like you do. Oh, two of the three.

[Scuba Steve]

That's my strategy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. And she's betting some numbers. She's betting, you know, first 12, second 12, third 12. And she's just kind of, you know, plodding along, making some money. Turns out she works at a golf course here in Nashville.

[Scuba Steve]

50% of those people either worked or owned a golf course.

[Bobby Bones]

Private one. She works there. She's like, man, we got to get you guys out there.

[Scuba Steve]

What the?

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, yeah, we do.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, we don't play munis. We.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we play privates. Yes.

[Scuba Steve]

She goes, what's the last course you played? You name a muni.

[Bobby Bones]

She goes, where do you usually play? And I was like, you got to Say Gaylord. I said, show.

[Scuba Steve]

You gotta go with Gaylord. Even though you don't play. I always just am like, troubadour. I'll do that one. Or the Governor's Club.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's like, we gotta get you out to where I'm at. We're talking, talking. And then her chick would bring her a drink, and then her chick would disappear, and then she spilled her strawberry daiquiri all over the table.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, the carpet.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Scuba Steve]

Jeez.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's like, oh, man. But she hit a number. She's excited. I wasn't hitting anything. And I'm just watching. So then I just stand there and watch. And I'm watching, just cheering for her, cheering for the other people at the table. And I'm there for, like, an hour and a half, and I'm finally like, all right, man. I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna call it a night. It's. It's already, like 9 o', clock. 10 o' clock, maybe. And I walk over, and Parmalee got on the boat at Nassau.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And I go over to this one table, and one of the guys from Parmalee, guy with long, blonde, curly hair, I don't know his name, he's sitting at a table and some. No idea.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I do, because the chick we were with, I got her to get a picture with him. I was, like, hammered, and I acted like I had connections, but all I really did was go up to him and grab his shoulder and his PR person.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, hey.

[Scuba Steve]

And I was like, I'm with the Bobby Bones Show. Get a picture.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the PR guy look like?

[Scuba Steve]

It was a chick, I believe.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Anyway, yeah, he's sitting at a table,

[Scuba Steve]

Ray mustache, cowboy boots.

[Bobby Bones]

And there's another dude sitting there, and he's with Parmalee, but he's not in the band. And he's like, what up, Lodge? What's going on? Oh, my gosh. You know, he talked to me earlier in the day, so he's talking to me again. I'm like, oh, man. I'm just about to turn in for the night. You know what I mean? He's like, no. No, you're not. He's like, here's a $25 chip.

[Scuba Steve]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

He's like, you're gonna turn this into a lot of money. I'm like, all right.

[Scuba Steve]

Does he know how casinos work? About five times. Your money is about the max you can do.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I'm like, all right. So I put the 25 down, and I win. And I put the $50 down, and I win. So now I'm at 120, $100 and something dollars. I'm like, all right, here we go. You know me. I start playing.

[Scuba Steve]

So did you give him his loaner back?

[Bobby Bones]

I say he bought this bank. I was, nah, man. I told you to build that into something. You can't build it if I take it back. You're right.

[Scuba Steve]

I need that brick.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. And then we lose a hand, and someone pulls out a little baby Jesus statue, like a little figurine. And, like, man, why aren't you guys using this? And the guy goes, well, Baby Jesus, that's what I need. Give that guy to me. And it's just someone in the crowd. No one likes this playing.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So he takes it, and he starts stacking it on his chips every time he bets.

[Scuba Steve]

Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, wow, this is cool. He's like, hey, let's do this for baby Jesus, guys. For baby Jesus. Somebody throw some water on me.

[Announcer]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. It hits, and then the next hand, he's like, well, this is for Bobby Bones. Unborn baby.

[Scuba Steve]

What the.

[Bobby Bones]

This is for the ba. This is for the baby. We got to provide it with a future. We need money for it to go to college.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, I'm not agreeing to that.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, so he hits again. You know, we're partying, having fun. The table's loud. Loud. And it's crazy.

[Scuba Steve]

What did Parmalee have to do with this story?

[Bobby Bones]

The one guy with blonde hair, with long hair is playing.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And this guy that gave me the $25 is associated with Parmalee. I don't know what he does for Parmalee.

[Scuba Steve]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And the crowd, I mean, is gathering, gathering. And it's starting to get momentum. The table starting to get loud.

[Scuba Steve]

Once people would start getting loud. Yes. The crowd would grow so quickly. Even faster than in Vegas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it was just like, all right. And then we start chanting, terry, Terry. Because that was our dealer. And some table across the way started thinking it was a. It was a contest. Mary. Mary, Mary. They would start chanting her name, and we'd boo them.

[Scuba Steve]

Rivalry table.

[Bobby Bones]

Rivalry tables, dude. And so then I'm building it, and I'm at, like, 275. What?

[Scuba Steve]

The Rio de Janeiro Jesus statue.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying. It was all because of baby Jesus. Then this dude that is associated with Parmalee comes walking up. Tall guy, don't know what he does. And he goes, see this $25 chip? I'm gonna turn it into 1500. And there was an empty spot. He put it down. $25, winner. Winner takes that 25, stacks it on top. So he has 50, winner. So now it's at a hundred. Then he puts the hundred out there. And he gets three. Three. So he has six. Dealer showing four. He's like, hey, man, give me $100 to his buddy. Splits him, gets another three, splits them. So now he's at 300 out there. Then he gets a 10A. And so he stays on that. That's 13. Then he gets a two. So he is at five, takes a hit, gets 15. Stay. Next card on the third, three and eight. Hey, I need another hundred. Doubles down, gets a 10. Sheesh. So now he has 21 on that one. So he has $400 out there.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm staying with the story. Truckers. You guys get that? It's two tanks of gas.

[Bobby Bones]

Dealer bus. Terry. Terry. Terry. Mary. Mary. Mary. Boo. Mary. Dude. So now he's at almost $900.

[Scuba Steve]

Wow, that was quick.

[Bobby Bones]

And he stacks it all on top of each other.

[Scuba Steve]

She.

[Bobby Bones]

And he gets a queen of diamonds. It goes around. Goes around. Ace of hearts. Blackjack. In five hands. He took that $25 to two grand.

[Scuba Steve]

That is unreal.

[Bobby Bones]

To $2,000 just like that.

[Scuba Steve]

Five times your money is a lot at the casino. He went four times. He went 40 times his money.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. And he just stacked all the chips. Every time he played five hands, two grand. And he said deuces.

[Scuba Steve]

And he was just nobody.

[Bobby Bones]

He was someone with Parmalee. I don't know who he was.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, that was. That guy came back.

[Bobby Bones]

It was. No, this guy is a different. Like, I played with two people from Parmalee. One was in the band, one was not, but they were together. This guy was like their manager or something. And he just came up and wanted to turn that 25 into 1500. But he made it into two grand.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, the girls we were with ended up talking to somebody. The Parmalee dude cleaned up. Matt. Somebody said he won. Did you hear?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Scuba Steve]

Somebody said he won 10k, huh? Yeah. So I didn't know. Was he playing with you at blackjack or he went at playing something else?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I gotta look up who Matt from Parmalee is. I'm gonna look him up. We don't Google on the show from par. What? Matt? I think my guy's name was Barry.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, Barry's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Barry. Barry was. I'm not sure he knows how to play blackjack.

[Scuba Steve]

Pretty easy concept.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, like, the dealer would have an 8, show an 18. And he'd have a 12 and Barry would double down.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay?

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm not talking double down for a hundred dollar double down.

[Scuba Steve]

Jeez.

[Bobby Bones]

But Barry was winning. Well, he was on that, dude. He was winning all night. All night. And so we're just playing and playing and playing. So then that guy that won the two grand, he comes back with 25, goes, I'm going to build this. He built it into $550. He won 2,500 in like 30 minutes. And I. If you look at my chips, I'm up to 525 off that $25 chip.

[Scuba Steve]

All it takes is a brick.

[Bobby Bones]

And I mean, this is where it gets sad. A brick and some concrete confidence.

[Scuba Steve]

Ray, sticking with your analogy, then. Wait, you said this when it gets sad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

These were the bad times.

[Ryan Seacrest]

These.

[Bobby Bones]

So Baby Jesus, guys like, hey, man, we got to start betting more. We're going to win. We're winning.

[Scuba Steve]

We're winning.

[Bobby Bones]

Terry, Terry, Terry. I'm like, all right, So I put 75 out there, and Terry pulls a 14 and a 7. 21. 21, 21. All right, that's cool, that's cool. And he's like, don't let that discourage you. We're not scared. He goes, Put 125 out there.

[Scuba Steve]

Who were you playing with, Tony Robbins?

[Bobby Bones]

The guy with Baby Jesus Walk On Fire. He was like, lunch, let's go, let's go. All right, So I put 125 out there.

[Scuba Steve]

What are you, Gary Vee?

[Bobby Bones]

And he has a 5 showing, right? All right. He flips it over. It's a six. That's 11. He pulls a 10. 21. I'm sorry.

[Scuba Steve]

You're about to get cleaned. What about the house? The mini trailer home you built? $500 trailer.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, all right, Ray, I'm about

[Scuba Steve]

to lose the trailer mortgage, all right?

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, all right. He's like, hey, man, we don't lose three hands in a row. Put 175 out there.

[Scuba Steve]

She's. I'm like, how many greens?

[Bobby Bones]

All right, man, I'll put 175 out there just because you said so.

[Scuba Steve]

Six greens, 17 greens.

[Bobby Bones]

So I put it out there and I got an 18.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, oh, you're golden.

[Bobby Bones]

Golden, golden.

[Scuba Steve]

Go ahead and pay me, Terry.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Terry's got. He's got a six showing.

[Scuba Steve]

You're golden.

[Bobby Bones]

Beautiful.

[Scuba Steve]

Always assume it's a 10, flips it over 16.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, and everybody, big, big, big, big, Big five. 21.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, my gosh. Can we pull the footage of That I bet you murdered somebody. Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Terry went three 21s in a row

[Scuba Steve]

and took your entire 550.

[Bobby Bones]

He took it all, man.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm sorry. Oh, that's funny. How puckered were you walking away from the table?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm chafing a little bit.

[Scuba Steve]

I'll see you guys tomorrow. See you guys in Bimini.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, guys, that hurt.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, geez.

[Bobby Bones]

And someone in the Parmalee camp, kind of red hair guy, he had walked up and he said when, when he got that first 21, he goes, hey, guys, table shifting. Be careful. Great advice, but baby Jesus guy was telling me that we don't need to be careful.

[Scuba Steve]

See, that's what I was trying to teach scuba at times like, dude, sometimes the table shifts. You just got to go with the shift. So you were fighting against the shift?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I guess so, man.

[Scuba Steve]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

It's shifting, and I. And I should have walked away.

[Scuba Steve]

Means people are losing. Idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

I, I, I, I wanted to. It's.

[Scuba Steve]

It's not the guy that can place the money down. It's not the guy that can get a drink. It's not the guy that can laugh. It's not the guy that can win all the money. It's not the guy that can lose a little bit. You need that version of yourself where you literally just get up from the chair. It's the easiest motion. We all have legs. None of us are handicapped. God bless you and Cappy. All you have to do, get out of your bar stool and walk back to your room. It is the toughest feat when it comes to gambling. And all of a sudden, everybody's handicapped when it comes to gambling. Nobody can get up and walk on their two feet. And I'll hang up and listen. Cappy said, we don't do enough for the handicap.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody can walk away. You know why you can't walk away? Because you always think you're gonna just keep on winning.

[Scuba Steve]

All you have to do is get on your two damn legs and walk to your room. And here's the crazy why is it the hardest feat? It's like you're about to run a marathon, bro. All you're doing is going to your damn room. Everybody should be able to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

But here's the crazy part. I was already on my two feet. I never sat down. I stood the whole time because he gave me 25. I thought I was going to be out real quick. Didn't even ask for a chair.

[Scuba Steve]

Even easier.

[Bobby Bones]

And I still.

[Scuba Steve]

All you had to do was waddle

[Bobby Bones]

a floor and my feet were cemented

[Scuba Steve]

there for some reason there's stick them on the bottom of my shoes and they won't move.

[Bobby Bones]

And you know what these were? These were the bad times. We'll take a break. We'll be right back.

[Scuba Steve]

Here's the deal. You're going to have to punt Bimini to another pod. It's been 40 minutes and we haven't even got to the island yet. We're not even docked.

[Bobby Bones]

We went to bed and we woke up and we're in Bimini. Bimini is probably so the beautiful, most beautiful spot we stopped at been to me was amazing.

[Scuba Steve]

A little rundown in parts, but yes, beautiful.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, but the beach, right?

[Scuba Steve]

But were we all chilled later on in the story, foreshadowing it was a little rundown?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, I agree with that. But we wake up, grab breakfast. Once again, I had my omelette and there was no time to do the show.

[Scuba Steve]

This was awesome. We did not have to do the big show.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. We are going straight to the Ben and Me beach.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh no, not straight to the beach. Me and Bazer saved up our champagne bottle for the most perfect time ever. We get a text scuba. Hey, you guys don't have to do the big show this morning. Just chill. We'll go to Bimini at 9. Me and Baze are up at 7. So for those two hours we pop the champagne, we listen to Morgan Wallen, we listen to Ella Langley, we listen to Megan Maroney. And we had ourselves a day on the Patio, sun coming in, looking at Bimini for two hours. We polished off that champagne and then we headed down to Jenna. And she's like, I'm right here beside you. Oh, sorry, Jenna. Little groggy slash drunk. Oh, this is the meeting spot. We came into Jenna hot at 9:00am

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I came in hot too. And we walk out and we get on a golf cart. And I'm like, do we really need a golf cart? Lo and behold, the beach was like two miles from where the ship docked. And everybody's walking.

[Scuba Steve]

Dude, I felt so bad. Celebs, golf carts straight there, five, ten minutes. Everybody else, two mile track to come hang out with our dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, what is going on? Like, they gotta have better tr. They gotta. They gotta get closer to the beach than that. That's a long walk.

[Scuba Steve]

Reverse the rolls. Would we have walked that far?

[Bobby Bones]

Why not?

[Scuba Steve]

I would have chilled on the boat or just went to a local shop there.

[Bobby Bones]

Right off the boat, I'm like, not only they had to walk there, then they had to turn around and walk back, dude. And so we're doing bananas.

[Scuba Steve]

We're going golf carts through groups of people, elderly, 50, 60, 70 years old,

[Bobby Bones]

just yelling at everybody. And I realized we were kind of rubbing it in that, hey, look at us. Morning.

[Scuba Steve]

And we are trekking to this private beach. I felt so guilty.

[Bobby Bones]

And I love this private beach because I was told, hey, you don't need any money. Don't. Don't worry about it. Everything's good.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, yeah. Bad advice.

[Bobby Bones]

Terrible advice.

[Scuba Steve]

Because you needed it for food and drinks. Yeah, this, I meant to say. The people on our ship, like, the girls that danced, did they not have chat Assless chaps on and they were dancing there they were. That was my point. I'm sorry. On the money thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I was so excited. I was like, oh, cool. This is great. I couldn't even get a drink because I couldn't. I didn't have money because I was told, I don't need money. I didn't need money. So I left my money on the freaking ship.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I don't know which direction you're going on this one, but it was an unmitigated disaster from me not getting a microphone. Morgan situation. So are we talking about Mario?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we were on the golf cart, and that's when they look at us. That, hey, there's a relay race in two hours. We need you guys to plan it, mind you.

[Scuba Steve]

Five mimosas deep, Mind you, that we've

[Bobby Bones]

been planning this trip for, like, A year. And no one thought saying, hey, we're gonna have a relay race at the beach. Do you guys want to come up with something or. They didn't come up with something on their own. They gave us, you know, warning in the morning, hey, you need to come over the relay race. Huh? What? What do you guys have? I don't know. You guys make it up?

[Scuba Steve]

I'm not a PE teacher.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, cool, man. That sounds like a great idea. Do you guys have people registered for the relay race? No, we just thought you just call it out on the microphone and they would come.

[Scuba Steve]

So, like, what do we do? They just. Besides the stuff on the beach, what do we have them do?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

You guys can come up with it. Find some supplies on a desolate beach in Bimini. I don't have access to Dollar General.

[Bobby Bones]

Cool. So then when we get there, we. Oh, this is the Airstream. This is where you can go hang out and be, you know, cool down, you know, Cuz it's gonna be really hot out here. Baser. Sorry, you're not allowed in it.

[Scuba Steve]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. No need to yell at baser like that. But okay, whatever. That's cool.

[Scuba Steve]

I was whispered in my ear, you are allowed in it. And lunchbox as well.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, all right, cool. And then they go over here. This is where we're have the cornhole tournament. They're going to beer pong. But it's so windy. We're going to beach beer pong with these balls. The wind is you. You throw it and the ball's hitting you in the face because the wind's so strong it can't get to the trash cans. So I'm already like, we got to cancel that. And then Cornhole. Who knew that the entire ship was going to want to sign up for Cornhole?

[Scuba Steve]

You guys seen March Madness? 68 teams. We had it on the island with Cornhole.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely had it on the island with Cornhole.

[Scuba Steve]

What is this, everybody? One shining moment. Good gosh. We were out there four hours.

[Bobby Bones]

Cornhill took three and a half hours.

[Scuba Steve]

I was ready to murder you guys. I don't know, eliminate half these teams and call it the nit. What are we doing?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we should have probably had a pre register and it should have been first come, first serve, 16 teams and boom, boom, boom. Get it done within an hour.

[Scuba Steve]

That's what would have happened if I was be an indirection.

[Bobby Bones]

But we didn't. That's okay. And I'm like, oh, man, can I get a drink? Yeah, you just buy it right over there. And I'm like, you guys told me not to bring money. You told me that I didn't need to bring my money.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, you did. $20 minimum.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm not mad, I'm not annoyed, I'm not frustrated. This is not, this is going great.

[Scuba Steve]

Did Bazer get you a drink or did a listener? No, no, she got me a pina colada. Because we both tap the glasses. I'll post the pic.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, I, I, I didn't get a drink. The whole day on the beach is very awkward. And I'm like, all right, here we go, microphone boy. Then it's time to start the tournament. And the microphone is not wireless, so we can't even go down to the beach. And then the guy that's from the ship, he wants to hog the microphone and not give us the microphone. So then I have to get a frickin megaphone.

[Scuba Steve]

Dude, you got a bullhorn, bro.

[Bobby Bones]

And go down and yell at people from the bullhorn. It's like Larry is like, I'm like,

[Scuba Steve]

I'm like, mazer, Lunch and me couldn't get a wireless, so lunch is on the bullhorn. I'm just like chilling. They didn't even really have any responsibilities for me, which I was fine with,

[Bobby Bones]

which is great, but I'm just like. And I mean, you can only commentate on cornhole for so long.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, and it's also an emergency device. And when I was trying to explain to you, dude, directly in front of

[Bobby Bones]

that bullhorn, My bad.

[Scuba Steve]

We're talking 100 decibels. 120. Like the 12th man in Seattle. And I go, hey, lunch. Just FYI, anybody that's in front of you, you're blowing their eardrums.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[Scuba Steve]

I'm like, you can't hear a bullhorn from behind, but in front, it's insanely loud.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my bad.

[Scuba Steve]

And you did that like three times in my ear. All right, you guys want us to watch? Bro, what did I tell you? The bullhorn directly in front. You blew out my eardrums again. All because they didn't have a wireless.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my apology.

[Scuba Steve]

It's not your fault there's no wireless.

[Bobby Bones]

My apologies. And then we do the freaking tournament, tournament, tournament. We finally get to order lunch. They are. Work was nice enough to provide us with lunch. And Morgan had showed up at the beach about an hour before this and was like hanging out, talking to people, taking pictures, commentating. And we all go to go in the Trailer. And she gets the. Morgan, you can't come in the trailer.

[Scuba Steve]

Heisman. It was the second Heisman awarded of the trip. First woman. Scuba Steve Heisman. You.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And she's like, what do you mean? It's only for Ray and lunch and Lee Bryce. And Lee Bryce. Like, she was.

[Scuba Steve]

She's on the big show with us. Like, how does that make any sense?

[Bobby Bones]

It makes no sense.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, and then I got pulled to the side and they whispered in my ear, hey, the trailer's just for you. Lunch and Lee Bryce. And I'm like, okay, I'll distance myself from Morgan. Like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I. I. Morgan texted me, where are you? New phone. Who this? She goes, hey, are you in the trailer? What trailer? Don't know what you're talking about.

[Scuba Steve]

She goes, hey, I'm. I can't get in that physically get in the trailer with you guys. Can you bring me some scraps? Would you guys possibly have access to water? And I was like, yeah, I'll bring you a bottle of water as soon as I can when nobody's looking.

[Bobby Bones]

Meet us around the back, though, by the dumpster so no one sees us, dude.

[Scuba Steve]

And I started feeling guilty because I. Quesadillas. You had ordered, like a three course meal and some wayfair trailer, which was pretty crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I did. I ordered chips and salsa. I ordered the conch, or not conch fritters. And I ordered key lime pie, because they're supposed to be known for their key lime pie down there.

[Scuba Steve]

So I had food guilt. And I was like, okay, I'll save one quesadilla for bazer, which I gave to her. She was at the pool where they're all chilling and drinking. And I go, okay, I'll give Morgan this other chicken quesadilla because she had no food. And they gave full on orders with us. Lunch was dining. I mean, literally licking his fingers. It was so amazing. And I go, morgan, I got you food. And so she comes in, she's like, what did you get me? What did you get me? I was like, a chicken quesadilla. I saved you one that I was able to ration. Here you go. And she's like, I'm a vegetarian. She had no food on the island, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, Mort couldn't order her food. It's like, no, man, Morgan's not officially part of this event. We cannot order her a salad. Sorry. No go.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, it got fixed. I texted Scuba and I was like, hey, bro, real talk. Morgan's not allowed to have water or food. And she's like, well, obviously works on the same show as us. Similar celebrity, possible to get her some scraps.

[Bobby Bones]

And so then we went in.

[Scuba Steve]

We did a shot in the trailer. I think that's all she had to drink.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all she had to drink. That's all she had to eat. It was a sad sight, you know. Then we had some downtime. I went in the ocean.

[Scuba Steve]

You didn't say the Tito's bottle. Whoever is the staff was bouncing around in there. Tito's is finished in about 45 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the whole bottle of Tito's was gone. I mean, it was absolutely housed, finished, dried, like.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, that thing went quick, real quick.

[Bobby Bones]

You better get a drink while it lasts, man, because it is going, going, gone. So I went in the ocean, and then, oh, we got to do the relay race. So we come up. We're like, relay race is canceled. Which did not. The. The guy that we work with was not happy about it. It was like, I'm so mad at you guys. I can't believe it. Whatever, dude. No one wants to do it. It doesn't matter. Then we tried to get everybody from the cruise ship in a picture, and this guy had built a sandcastle herding cats. And we start walking over there, and I'm just trying to get in the picture, and he's yelling, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Like, what?

[Scuba Steve]

Dead ass.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, no, what? All right. So I'm like. I'm not. I'm just. I start. Keep walking. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He thought I was trying to go near his little castle that said top shelf. That was all it said. He. I understand he worked really hard on. It was very impressive. I don't know how he did it to build a sandcastle like that. Very good. But I wasn't going to touch his sandcastle. He's yelling at everybody. And then the guy that wouldn't give Ray the mic.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, he also. I didn't mention it earlier, but. So the mic was up there. It wasn't wireless, so it had to stay there. And he's announcing the bracket, doing other stuff. But it was supposed to be. I get it was lunch and Lee Bryce. I get that. But they literally told me, hey, you're on the mic to. You're doing some stuff. So I. There was twice I tried to go for the mic, and this guy angled his body so I couldn't reach it. And so at that point, guys, when you're five mimosas deep I was like, I really don't even care to talk on the mic, but this guy's angling his body. He literally didn't want me talking on the microphone. And then somebody comes over and they go, hey, Sarah and Jane won. We're on cornhole. Can you put it on the paper? And so everybody was writing down on the paper if they won or whatever, but apparently only that guy was the guy that was allowed to write. So he goes, no, you will not be writing that down. And so then I just joke around because I'm like, oh, my gosh, this guy really is serious about his job. And so I go, oh, sorry, I wasn't gonna write in 12 point font, Ariel. And he goes, I'm more about 10 point font. And I was like, oh, yeah, you are probably like six point font, huh? Real small, right? Like, screw you, you. That was the last thing I said to him. I had talked to him since Babidi.

[Bobby Bones]

And don't worry, we're all lined up. And he comes and dives right in front of the sand castle. And that dude loses his launch. No, no, no, no, no. Get up, get up, get up.

[Scuba Steve]

No, get up.

[Bobby Bones]

And he gets up and then he starts smoothing out the sand in front. Like, oh, my gosh, I don't know. It's fine. We take a picture, then it's time for Lee Bryce at the pool. Guys, commercial. No. And I go, well, I wasn't allowed to go.

[Scuba Steve]

They told me, hey, you're going to get in a golf cart. You can't. You and Baser cannot go to this. We're on the time crunch. You guys have got to leave the island at 1:45. And Lee started at 2. Okay, okay. So they hustled us into these golf carts and we were. I wasn't even allowed to see one note from. Rumor has it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, what's weird is we had till 5 o' clock to be back on the boat. So you had three hours.

[Scuba Steve]

That's why it made no sense.

[Bobby Bones]

You had over three hours to get back on the boat.

[Ben Walter]

Dude.

[Scuba Steve]

We were with a. A couple friends and they put a line in the sand and said, okay, no, you guys are not coming. You guys are in a golf cart.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Scuba Steve]

What's the rush? We're on island time immediately in golf carts and hustled to the boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I'm like, all right, cool, man. I don't know why you guys are leaving. Can we just, like, stay for an hour afterwards and just hang out like in the water? No, no, we gotta go. We can watch maybe one song. I'm like, all right, so I'm gonna introduce Lee. Bryce. Lee. Bryce comes out of the trailer, he's getting ready, and I see his microphone up there in the front and I don't see another microphone. So I'm walking up to it and all of a sudden I hear, ladies and gentlemen, man, are you guys ready? And I'm like, oh, I didn't know the boat guy was gonna introduce me. Okay. He's like, this next guy, you know, all he needs, he has a guitar. And I'm like, I ain't got no guitar. What are you talking about? I don't have a guitar. He's like, and he's going to make you guys happy as he sings by the pool. Give it up for Lee Price. And I just kind of throw my hands up. Look at Morgan. I just jump in the pool. Like, guess I'm not introducing him.

[Scuba Steve]

Without a mic, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I just don't even understand. Like, he was so fed up with us. I guess he was so tired of us doing things that he was just taking over. And so I just kind of. All right, I'll just jump in the pool and I'll watch it from the pool. Yeah. And then the best part of the trip happened. And I'll tell you about it right after this.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, hold on. Hold your butt. I did foreshadow 10 episodes ago on this cruise documentary we're doing, and the guy that won me a bunch of money and craps that had a blast with. Remember I said I had a story at the pool about him?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

He said he got absolutely slammered. The drunkest he's gotten on the trip. Paid like 75, got buckets of beer, got buckets of daiquiris. He said him and his family were in the pool for Lee Bryce. And he said he was absolutely housed. Yelling stuff, throwing stuff. He said it was by far the drunkest he got on the cruise. Recovering two days after that.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa. Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Said he had a blast. But he's like, dude, when he goes, did not know me that pricey. So 75. I think he said 50. Between 5 and 700 is what he dropped in that pool.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I dropped none because I didn't bring any money, so I couldn't even get one drink. So he's getting buckets. I couldn't get anything. And I did see, his family is one of the first families on the beach. They were there early practicing their beer pong on the beach, and the ball was.

[Scuba Steve]

How far did they make it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, they were playing beer pong, and it was just like, free play. I just saw them over there at the buckets, and they were like, all right, this is dumb. And then they headed to the pool.

[Scuba Steve]

That must have been it. And then he's like, all right, I'm going to go body a couple buckets of daiquiris.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So then I'm in the pool, you know, and the. Our handler or whatever that we work with, like, look, text me, where are you? Where are you? And I'm like, I'm in the pool. I'm just in the pool. And like, we got to go. We got to go right now. I'm like, why?

[Scuba Steve]

Your cannonball wasn't scheduled.

[Bobby Bones]

All these people are going to be headed back to the boat, and it's going to take so long to get back on the boat. We have three hours. What are we freaking out? We got to go right now. If not, the golf cart's leaving you. Well, I'm not about to walk by myself. Two miles, Whatever. And then I see pictures on Instagram of Scuba and Ray, and they're looking like they are at the best. They're having the time of their life getting conch or cock or whatever the heck it was. Was it called?

[Scuba Steve]

Definitely called conch.

[Bobby Bones]

Conch. And I'm like, where the heck. So I start texting him, hey, where are you? We're at Smitty's. Smitty's bar.

[Scuba Steve]

Coming to find you guys. I said, you're not gonna have any without me.

[Bobby Bones]

And I said, whoa, if you guys are getting that, I'm getting some. If you guys are getting some Bimini cock, I'm gonna get some Bimini cock. And so I asked the driver of the golfer, hey, you know where Smitty's is?

[Scuba Steve]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Well, can you drop me off at Smitty's? Nope. The guy we work with?

[Scuba Steve]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

We're going straight back to the ship. Straight back to the ship. And I'm. I've had it. I don't have any money. I haven't had it. I couldn't. So I couldn't get a drink. Then I get big dogged on the introduction of Lee Bryce. I'm like, I'm done. I'm done. Just drop. Let me off the golf cart. Stop the golf cart. And I just get off in the middle of Benimini, and I have no idea where I'm going, and I just start walking smart in a place you

[Scuba Steve]

have no idea where you're going?

[Bobby Bones]

No idea where I'm going.

[Scuba Steve]

What were you trying to prove in that moment? You thought, it's a small island, you'd be able to find us? Or you were that mad?

[Bobby Bones]

I was that annoyed. And it looked like you guys were having a blast. And I was like, I don't want to miss out on the blast. I don't want to just go sit on the boat and be pissed. And here's the best part. I don't have any damn money. So if I don't find you guys, I'm really screwed.

[Scuba Steve]

You came to the island penniless

[Bobby Bones]

dude.

[Scuba Steve]

When you came around the corner at Smitty's. White dude, long sleeve shirt, sunburnt, looks like a lobster. They're like, edmond, is that your friend? He's like a big, dumb American. Yeah, he's one of us.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just walking down the side of the road in Benamin, and I am looking like an absolute idiot.

[Scuba Steve]

And there's like, diesel, big old Mack trucks flying by.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody on golf carts flying by, all the locals. Hey, man, you want to run a golf cart? $50, 30 minutes. I'm like, I don't have any money. I have nothing. I have no means of anything.

[Scuba Steve]

Crude oil must have went up a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm just walking and there's like an abandoned like golf cart dirt yard. I'm like, I'm never finding this Smitty's place. I'm. I'm going the wrong way. I'm going to turn around. Nope, I'm not going to turn around. I'm going to keep going. And after about a 15 minute walk, there is a sign that says Smitty's crappiest place. Smallest, crappiest, dingiest, rundown shack. And they're selling fresh conch outside. And I walk around the corner and I see Scuba and Ray and the wives. And I'm like, hey. And Marcus goes, hey, Bond, you guys know that white guy? And Scuba said, yeah. He goes, why are you so stressed out, mon? He looks stressed out, mon.

[Scuba Steve]

You walked up, they hadn't seen a stressed person ever. They live on island time. And you walked up like a stressed out New Yorker. They're like, who's this guy?

[Bobby Bones]

And I walk up and he's like, oh, man, he's got a plastic bag with a plastic jug in it. He's like, man, go inside, tell him get you a cup of ice. You have some out of Rum Bunch. Have some out of Rum Bunch.

[Scuba Steve]

There you go. Here's my guy, Marcus. We're locals. Gary. That's Gary the Snail right there. Lokes only.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, dude. And I'm like, I'm not drinking your rum punch. I don't know what's in that. I don't know if it's diesel fuel. I'm not. That, that's, that's a bad look. And then he starts making fun of Ray because Ray's drinking a seltzer. That's a woman drink. That's a woman drink, man. Why do you drink that for, man?

[Scuba Steve]

I was like, do I get island respect drinking this? He's like, no, dude. Like, I'm sitting here drinking gas can

[Bobby Bones]

punch and then they're making food out there. Very. I mean, they definitely don't have a permit. They do not. There's no health. Health code or anything, bro.

[Scuba Steve]

They're making it out on a wide open table in the middle of nothing on plywood. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And he goes and gets the conch straight out of the ocean, grabs it, comes with a hammer, just starts beating it, pulling this little like vertebra out. We eat that.

[Scuba Steve]

Throws it in a 40 gallon bucket.

[Bobby Bones]

Throws it. Yeah. And then they're just chopping it up right there. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then they hand it to you in a bowl. Delicious. Absolutely delicious, man.

[Scuba Steve]

You got to make sure you see them catch it, man. That's how you know it's fresh. Well, we definitely saw him catch it.

[Bobby Bones]

We definitely saw him just go grab it right out of the ocean. That was pretty cool, man.

[Scuba Steve]

The guy gives us the business pitches, we're leaving his friend, and he goes, hey, man, all these other places, they'll put in a freezer, put in a fridge for two days. He goes, it loses it, and it's not going to be 100% like this. He goes, here, we guarantee we're going to catch it. We're like, well, we did see Marcus go catch it. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's like, man, next time you guys come on, you tell me. I bring the electric bike to the ship. I bring electric bike, and you just go the island. You just. Next time, man. When you come back, man. And they were big VJ Edgecomb fans, because he's from there.

[Scuba Steve]

And I didn't know that our boy Marcus, I didn't know he's homeless. And so I was like. Because a cat was walking. I was like, oh, dude, Marcus, at your house, you have catch? And he goes, yeah, got whatever comes around here. And I was like, what about dogs? You got any dogs? He goes, yeah, if a dog comes, I got a dog. Yeah, you got any iguanas? He goes, this is my backyard. There's thousands of iguanas that are all mine. So he just, like, lived there on the beach?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So he said, if a cat wanders up, it's his cat for the day.

[Bobby Bones]

But Ray didn't catch that.

[Scuba Steve]

I didn't get that he didn't have a home in that, like, shack area was where he lived. And so whatever meandered that way, he would consider his pets. He goes, yeah, man, I got thousand iguanas, man. Look around.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then, man, he was like. And then they're ready for us to pay for the conch. They're like, $70. And Scuba's like, well, I only have 50. Oh, man. Oh, man. And you got to pay the driver, man, because they rented a golf cart.

[Scuba Steve]

Poor Americans.

[Bobby Bones]

I said, don't look at me, man. I ain't got no money. I was told I don't need money.

[Scuba Steve]

So Scuba yells, so, I'm gonna go get money at Caesar's palace or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

So the driver's like, mom, there's ape GM down there. Your friends stay Here, I drive you.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm like, scuba, maybe don't yell that out loud.

[Bobby Bones]

And then Scuba's like, I'm gonna go get money.

[Scuba Steve]

Scuba, we're about to get robbed and killed.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba, we're in Bin Minimi. You do not want to be yelling. I'm going to get the money.

[Scuba Steve]

Got. Guys, I'm going to Resorts World. I'm going to get that $200. Scuba. Yup. Get the 200 jelly beans. Stop saying dollars.

[Bobby Bones]

And his wife. His wife is freaking out. Like, she's trying to act calm.

[Scuba Steve]

She's like, text him. See where he's at.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, no, he's fine. He's fine. It's fine.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm like, they're not going to murder him and use his face as a mask for $200. Calm down.

[Bobby Bones]

And then 10 minutes later, she's like, all right, text him, see if everything's okay. Did you text him? Did he reply?

[Scuba Steve]

Dude, I told you, I went inside.

[Bobby Bones]

Is he okay?

[Scuba Steve]

There was, like five college frat daddies just hammered, eating food. Said it was the best spot they'd been the entire week that they're there. We lucked out.

[Bobby Bones]

We lucked out. We lucked out. I. I mean, you guys lucked out. I lucked out that I walked down the road, found you. And then about 30 minutes later, scuba came rolling back on the golf cart, paid for it. We jumped on the cart and our dude, Marcus, mom, we'll see you later, man.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, at that same time, these girls, these big old girls.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Scuba Steve]

And he was yelling at him because he's kind of drunk, I think, at that time, because Scuba had hooked him up with some stuff and some. Also, he had his own jungle juice. And he goes, you big girls need loving, too. Like Marcus. Well, as an employee of this restaurant, if you could just yell at the customers like that, he goes, come here. I want all that love. And, man, I was like, marcus, dude, you're drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

Marcus, dude.

[Scuba Steve]

He was just cat calling him. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then they drove us back to the ship, man. And we got back on the ship and we left Benimmy. We left Bamini.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, we made the call time by three hours.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we were plenty of time, dude. We still had two hours. There was no line to get back on the ship. It was very easy. Even though the people we work with were freaking out. Oh, my God. It's going to be impossible to get back on the ship. My Lord, it was a blast.

[Scuba Steve]

We chilled for the easily an hour to get that food, but it was Fresh.

[Bobby Bones]

It was fresh. It was so good. And it was just. It was just good to be away from the stress, man. It was good. The stress ball, that was our work person. I. I was good to be away from. It was good for me to go for a walk.

[Scuba Steve]

If you truckers could have seen the dichotomy between lunchbox stressed out New Yorker looks like a lobster sunburnt, so angry at life, and Marcus on the beach eating conch, drinking jungle juice. I mean, it was like, okay, this is America, and this is how other countries live. We're idiots. Why be stressed? Less stress, more life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was just right there in a nutshell.

[Scuba Steve]

Marcus, look at you. Like, you had three heads, man. Who is this guy and why is he stressed, man? Dude, you had smoke coming out of your ears.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, Marcus Bond. Do you understand that? I was supposed to announce him. Who cares, Bond. No, no, Marcus. Like, I was supposed to introduce Lee Bryce. Who's Lee Bryce? Who cares about Lee Bryce, man? We on the island.

[Scuba Steve]

You have your health, man. What are you worried about, man?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was rough. We ain't finished the cruise, dude. We just made it through Benami.

[Scuba Steve]

We'll have to do it another time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we had to go, man. They can't listen to more than an hour of us.

[Scuba Steve]

There's probably some scraps. We can do some housekeeping next time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I mean, the next one is just really. Morgan got hammered. That was it.

[Scuba Steve]

There's still some stuff, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I forgot to tell you, on the third day is when I realized that I could get. Like, I didn't have the same pack. Like, I saw Scuba at the bar. It was after I got the black card that night. The next day, I saw Scuba sitting at the bar with his wife. And I sit down, I'm like, can I get a water? And they gave me tap water. And he goes, why didn't you get a bottled water? I said, I'm not allowed. He goes, what do you mean you're not allowed? And I showed him my card, and him and his wife fell off their chairs laughing at me. That was a bad memory, man. That was a bad memory. But you know what was fun was Ben. Amenemy. I love that place. I can't wait. Marcus, Mon, we'll see you one year, mon. Hopefully Marcus will be there in a year.

[Scuba Steve]

I. I think we do just a little bit of tying up the loose ends. Next episode.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Monday. And I mean, we're gonna have a lot of stories on Monday because, dude, I'm taking a bus down to Atlanta and it's gonna be good, good weekend.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, maybe there isn't anything left, but I mean, definitely Morgan yelling at me when she lost stuff. The airport. Was there anything there? Going back on the boat for another day. There has to be something.

[Bobby Bones]

There has to be something. We'll figure it out. I don't know. They may be tired of cruise talk now. We haven't talked sports. I mean, we haven't even talked about all the trades. Who cares?

[Scuba Steve]

All right, say it again.

[Bobby Bones]

Who cares? More crews, less sports.
