Transmitting across America.

Hey, welcome to the show. This is a podcast. We were not live on the air today because we are on vacation. But as I've said before, whenever my favorite podcast on load in podcasts, I feel lost because I have, like, my schedules. Do you do that with yours?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, I have expectations.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too. And I need the Blue Dot to show up on those podcasts on those days that I need them. So we wanted to put up a show or two during the break just so you have some new content to listen to, because we don't want to be that show. Amy, let me ask you a sports question. There are. 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3, 3. Four teams that have won almost 40% of all Super Bowls in the NFL.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How many can you name?

[Lunchbox]

Patriots.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you guess the Patriots?

[Lunchbox]

Because Tom Brady has won seven Super Bowls or something, and I feel like that's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so he'd have won six with.

[Lunchbox]

The Patriots and then one with Tampa Bay.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice job.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Amy, let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome. How do you know that? Rub off from us or just, like, study on your own?

[Lunchbox]

We talk about. I mean, we're on air in Tampa. I run liners for them.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job. You do liners about Super Bowl Tom Brady.

[Lunchbox]

I'm sure at some point still they have a nickname or he has a nickname.

[Eddie]

Like Tampa Brady.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, that was for a little bit, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like a week.

[Lunchbox]

Like a week sometimes. Some stations will have me do sportsliners. I'm like, this doesn't make sense that I'm doing this.

[Bobby Bones]

You know why? Because I refuse to do this. I will not yell another team's go, whatever. Oh, I don't care if it's, like, a NFL team. I don't care so much because I don't really have an NFL team. College. No chance. I will not do Roll Tide or Test or.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'll do whatever. I mean, some of them. Sometimes it's National Hockey League stuff, and I'm saying some sayings, and I'm like, I don't even know if this team is. I feel bad, Bones.

[Eddie]

You won't even do the hand signals. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if we're on, like, a bull radio station. Let's say Portland. Yeah. And they go, okay, horns up. I don't do it because it looks too much like the Texas Longhorns. And I hate The Texas Longhorns so much.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I love saying horns up, Boston.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't mind saying that. Horns up, Boston. But I make sure that the horns up and the buh hit each other. So you can't remove the horns up without there being another syllable in it.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I go, horns up, Boston. If I go, horns up, Boston, which I just did, God dang it. Then you can separate that. Horns up.

[Eddie]

They're gonna use that audio now.

[Lunchbox]

What are they gonna use it for?

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter. Growing up in Arkansas, we are taught to hate Texas so much. So I'm very anti longhorn.

[Eddie]

They teach you that.

[Bobby Bones]

And growing up, it's everything.

[Eddie]

You're like, don't steal. Hate long.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you messed up. Hate Longhorns. Don't steal. Don't kill. Because. And it's all out of, like, jealousy for the most part, because they're bigger, richer, stronger. They're like big brother. So that's why. Name another team.

[Lunchbox]

I feel like somewhere in Colorado, they're the Denver Broncos. Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they've won, but.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, the San Francisco 49ers.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job so far. It's two out of four.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I just saw this walking on in here, and I.

[Lunchbox]

There's not a Colorado.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there's a Broncos team, but.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but I thought that they were big winners of the Super Bowl.

[Bobby Bones]

They've won Super Bowls.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I know. The Chiefs.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they've been recent.

[Bobby Bones]

Recent lately. Well, the other two are old school.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's probably what I was thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Colorado.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything?

[Lunchbox]

No, I have no idea.

[Eddie]

I mean, one for sure. You'll know.

[Lunchbox]

Old school.

[Bobby Bones]

The Dallas Cowboys, they have one since the 90s.

[Eddie]

I mean, you should know that.

[Lunchbox]

Well, sorry. The time I've been alive, like, I wouldn't think that much, barely.

[Bobby Bones]

And then one from way, way, way in front of that they've won in our life. But most of these are from Green Bay Packers. No, but great guess. Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's from, like, old, Old, old school.

[Eddie]

So is that like Terry Bradshaw?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, Terry Bradshaw. The Immaculate Reception.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's right.

[Bobby Bones]

It was all before us. So I do want to throw a game at you. We didn't use. And we were gonna use this for George Burge when he came in a bit ago and his wife was in the green room. And I know George and his wife. I'm not gonna say pretty well. Like, they're literal friends of ours. And I was like, oh, Kara can come in? And so it was. Ended up being A great interview, and I'm glad we did that because she's. She's very nice, and it was good. So we didn't use the game. So I'm going to let you guys play the game. So this was meant for George, but you guys are going to play the game. Okay. I'll play you a sound from the road. Meaning George is a big touring artist. Eddie, I don't know if you can play.

[Eddie]

Why you think I know? Because I've hit the road.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not that. It's because we toured, and all this stuff's going to be easy.

[Eddie]

You're right. I've been on the road.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. You don't have to be like. This is why people are starting to like Eddie Lester in games. Why? Because you have this automatic arrogance.

[Eddie]

But that's the truth, man. I've been everywhere, man. I've been on the road. We toured. You know, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Even I start to like Eddie less during games.

[Eddie]

That's not true.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. And Amy, you two play this. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll play you a sound from the road. You just name what the sound is. There are seven of these. Rari. I didn't even ask if you're ready. Do you have the clips?

[Morgan]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, here we go. Number one. And I'm gonna play it three times. There is no prize. Let's not get angry with everybody. Be happy having a good time. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Just play a fun game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. No, you shut up. Because you're all. You're a big part of why everybody gets angry.

[Eddie]

I know this sound.

[Bobby Bones]

See one more from him, Ray, we'll turn his mic off.

[Morgan]

Man, that's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me one more. Hey, Morgan, you should play, too.

[G]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Did you. Were you listening? Yeah. Okay, let me know when you guys are in.

[Morgan]

I'm in for the win.

[G]

Okay, Morgan, a guitar plugging into an amp.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, sound check. Electric guitar. That's what I've written down.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't accept that answer.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm gonna need something.

[Lunchbox]

That's all I have written down.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

I have the amp.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So I'm gonna have to. You can be a judge with me.

[Eddie]

Okay, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just plugging in a guitar, and Morgan got it fully and they only partially got us. We have to give it to Morgan.

[Eddie]

Okay. I mean, the amp. The amp's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

The soundcheck, too. You do that. A soundcheck. But she got it right on, so she has to get that one. That's why I was like, be more specific.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but I had to share what I had written down.

[Bobby Bones]

But you could have been more specific once.

[Lunchbox]

But then I would just been copying Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Or you could have picked just soundcheck.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, but that was specifically the guitar.

[Bobby Bones]

It was, but you might not have. Okay.

[Morgan]

Anyway, sure sound like a amp.

[Bobby Bones]

Next one up.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And it'll be if the. Whoever's the most specific. If there's one more specific than others will win. Even if everybody's right, because these are pretty specific to George. One more time.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm in.

[G]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody break into the back door.

[Eddie]

That's what it sounds like.

[Morgan]

I am in for the win.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, kick drums.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. That's exactly it. It's a kick drum.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you said be specific.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but I mean, that's. You nailed it. It's awesome. Morgan.

[G]

I had drums. I didn't have kick drum, though. I had drums.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

It's literally a kick drum.

[Lunchbox]

Because I heard that. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the foet and the one on the ground. You know, the little furry thing they.

[Morgan]

The one where they're doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they do, but with their foot.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

[G]

I'm in.

[Eddie]

Amy's writing a paragraph.

[Lunchbox]

You're being specific.

[Morgan]

I mean, I am being very specific.

[Bobby Bones]

And if it's long, that's not specific.

[Morgan]

Oh, it's not.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, mine wasn't long.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. I'm just saying, if you write like 10 pages and you're like, I got it somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, all mine is fluid. It's not all over the place.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Clanking long neck beer bottles. And one of them breaking.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox cheers with beer bottles. And then one breaks.

[G]

Morgan holding beer bottles together and then dropping one.

[Bobby Bones]

The answer's beer bottle breaking. I give it to all three of you. You all got that? Similarly. All right, none of these are over, like, four words. Guys, for the record, I can appreciate the strategy, but just for the sake of time here. Next one.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's legit. What's happening?

[Eddie]

It's actually pretty funny, though.

But you're adding extra. But you're adding extra words just to be funny.

[Lunchbox]

That tour bus.

[Bobby Bones]

Tour bus coming to us.

[Lunchbox]

Definitely not headed out. It is.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know where it's heading. You are right. Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

That's a tour bus pulling up to the venue.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, Morgan.

[G]

I had the same thing as Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Tour bus. Losers. Tour bus. Tour bus.

[Eddie]

Hey, it definitely was stopping, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy.

[Morgan]

Did that not sound like the venue, though? Did you hear the fans?

[Bobby Bones]

All right, next up, and I have a bacon. Thank y'all for playing this song. Whoever played it, you must be extremely specific.

[G]

I'm in.

[Morgan]

I'm in for the win.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I don't know. Whatever. I'm in.

[Eddie]

What an idiot. So dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

I'm writing it down.

[Bobby Bones]

You can say it. You're first.

[Morgan]

That's loading the truck, man. That's the backstage crew rolling the equipment.

[Bobby Bones]

We thought you knew it. And that's why he was saying, roll it up again. We thought you knew it. And that's why I didn't. Play it again. Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Rolling equipment box.

[G]

Morgan, I had tour equipment rolling in.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't. I mean, I could give it to all of you because none of you work on it, but you all kind of were. But it is a road case. Road case. Rolling a specific road case. But you all get to play. Everybody gets point.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan is still the winner. Nice job. Thank you.

[Eddie]

Morgan knows the road, man.

[Morgan]

I don't know. We would have tied.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, can I ask you a question?

[G]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up? You ever, like, man, maybe I don't want to ask you this question.

[G]

I could always, like, bleed the fifth.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, fair enough. You ever date an artist and, like, go with them on a tour bus for a weekend?

[G]

No, but I've been on tour buses, and I've hung out on tour buses.

[Bobby Bones]

But, like, like, not just while stopped. Like, you. You, like. You go no. Okay.

[G]

No, I have not.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[G]

But partied on some tour buses.

Yeah. And that are parked. Yeah. But never, like, going to go on the trip.

[G]

No. No. Never stayed the night on a specific tour bus.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Okay. Amy, I have a few questions I was going to ask George Burch, and I'd just like for you to answer them as yourself. Not even as George.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Hey, how do you feel about Texas's chance in the College Football Playoff?

[Lunchbox]

Feel pretty good about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What specifically?

[Lunchbox]

We have a strong defense.

[Bobby Bones]

Cool. You do have a really good defensive line. Yeah. What's with those Gajis?

[Lunchbox]

Uh, yeah, I know. I. All of them. They work well together.

[Bobby Bones]

They do. It's good.

[Eddie]

It's a team.

[Bobby Bones]

Good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know. We just need. You know, as long as offense can get it together, we should be good.

[Bobby Bones]

What's your daily truck?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Ford.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're answering them as. It's okay. You're supposed to answer them as you. Oh, I mean, that's okay.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me do. Let me do this one. Let's do one.

[Lunchbox]

How am I going to answer about. I should. Okay, I'll answer is me. I don't care about Texas football. I thought I should have said.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's why I thought I should say.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

Okay, one other quick George bit, and we'll do a bunch of stupid stuff like this on the podcast. You want to play Name your favorite George.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Yes. All right, here we go. Write it. Write it down. Number one. Which George was a beetle and wrote songs like Something in the Way She Move and Here Comes the Sun? Which George was a Beatle and wrote Here Comes the Sun.

[Morgan]

I'm in for the win.

[Eddie]

Oh, I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

And for those listening, we're just gonna use a bunch of crap we didn't get to over the year for these segments.

[Eddie]

It's a good game, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

George.

[Bobby Bones]

By the way, congrats to George Burch. They had a second number one before we left.

[G]

I was doing good with the Beatles.

[Bobby Bones]

Notable deaths in 2024. Sometimes you forget if it's early in the year they even died. It's crazy about some of these. Carl Weathers. Amy, do you know who Carl Weathers is? Let's play this game.

[Lunchbox]

It sounds like he was in sports, like maybe an announcer.

[Bobby Bones]

He was in sports, not an announcer. So you're there kind of. But not really. No. Not what he was known for mostly. He was Apollo in Rocky. Apollo Creed.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So in the new Creeds, it was his dad. But Rocky one and two, they fought each other. Rocky four, he starts about fighting the Russian, that thing. Carl Weathers died. He was 76 years old. He died in February of 2024. All right. Quincy Jones.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. A music mogul.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll accept mogul.

[Eddie]

Good title.

[Bobby Bones]

He.

[Lunchbox]

He died.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Yet recently, November of this year. The musical giant who did it all. Record producer, film composer, multi genre artist, entertainment executive, humanitarian. He was 91. Did Quincy Jones start Motown?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And then, you know, Michael Jackson also. Rashida Jones's dad from the Office, amongst other great shows.

[Eddie]

A lot of that early Michael Jackson stuff, he did all the music, composed all the music for that stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

One of. He's the dad of one of the guys from lmfao. And the uncle of another. No, and a great uncle of another one. Red Food. So those are the two guys in lmfao. Redfu is one of them. And the other one is. Yeah, one of them. Because one of them is one of them's uncle. And I believe one of them is Quincy Jones's son. I think it's Quincy Jones.

[Eddie]

I always thought it was just the uncle.

[Bobby Bones]

He's Barry Gordy. Oh, it's Barry Gordy. The other. But Barry Gordy may have been a Motown.

[Eddie]

Then Barry Gordy may have been.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're talking about two legendary guys. Hold on. Dang.

[Eddie]

I think you're right.

[Bobby Bones]

Regardless, their uncle's their dad. And then the LMFAO guys, one of them's the uncle.

[Amy]

I think one of them is like the uncle.

[Bobby Bones]

The other one.

[Eddie]

The other one is Barry Gordy's son.

[Bobby Bones]

Very gordy. Still alive, 95 years old.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we're thinking of Barry Gordon.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so Barry Gordy started Motel. Quincy Jones is a great producer. That's Microso. Michael Jackson, though, right?

[Eddie]

Yes, that's Michael Jackson.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Shannon Doherty.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, actress.

[Eddie]

She died.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, she had cancer.

[Lunchbox]

Breast cancer.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's right.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know. You're right. I knew she had been sick for a long time. I don't remember dying July 13th.

[Lunchbox]

She was Brenda on 90210.

[Bobby Bones]

That is correct. Good job. Okay. Kris Kristofferson.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Country singer, actor.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Christopher Stofferson wrote me and Bobby McGee and sang it, actually.

[Eddie]

Do you ever meet him?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Me. By who? Sang by who? Who made it a hit. Number one hit.

[Lunchbox]

It's on the tip of my tongue. Hint, hint. Give me a hint.

[Bobby Bones]

Her name starts with the same letter. First and last name.

[Lunchbox]

Not helping my brain right now.

[Morgan]

Come on, Amy, you're doing this.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she's from Texas.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, she from Texas.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you're not gonna get it. Janis Joplin. Janice. That's it.

[Morgan]

She's from Texas. No, no, you can't yell that.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know.

[Lunchbox]

She's from Texas, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I think she's from Texas, right? She is. She ended up moving to California.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

She also died before that song was ever a hit. She never got to have a hit alive.

[Eddie]

She's part of the 27, I think so. 27 Club.

[Bobby Bones]

I think so. Me and Bobby McGee helped make it through the night. This is Kris Kristofferson. He was in the Highwayman and Star Is Born. Maybe that wasn't even the original. Maybe it was the second one.

[Eddie]

It wasn't the original one.

[Bobby Bones]

My second was him and Barbra Streisand. Maybe.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Which is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

He was like a Rhodes scholar, military guy, country music singer. Like, he had all this stuff. He died September 18th. James Earl Jones.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You do. You do. Come on, think about it. Unless you're just having.

[Eddie]

I sure know him.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless you're just having a bad brain day.

[Lunchbox]

Well, Janis Joplin. I feel like I am, because I. Ah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not easy, though.

[Lunchbox]

I mean. No, I know that one. Bobby McGee. Danish. Joplin.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Well, once you said it, pretty embarrassing.

[Bobby Bones]

James Earl Jones. First of all, he's actor. I think of him, though, from coming to America.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

The King.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's the King.

[Lunchbox]

He's Eddie Murphy's Darth Vader.

[Bobby Bones]

He's Mufasa. He's the voice of. This is cnn. That's his voice.

[Eddie]

Feel the dreams.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. Good one.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

He was 93. September 9th. Richard Simmons, the fitness guru.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah. I would have got. I Thought you just told me, you know, you just. Oh, I was like. I was like, that's one I could have got. If you said Richard Simmons, I'd be like, yeah. Fitness worker, router.

[Bobby Bones]

The thing about him, too, he disappeared for a long time. So then maybe I already thought he was dead because I couldn't find him for years. And then he's like, I'm back. And then he died. Yeah, Richard Simmons. Massively famous in the 80s.

[Eddie]

A lot of energy.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, had every television show. His little outfit sold millions of videos, VHS videos and, like, sweating to the oldies and stuff. Liam Payne.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, the. Oh, my gosh. The One Direction guy that fell out of the. Or fell off the hotel balcony.

[Bobby Bones]

He was 31. He died after falling from the third floor of a hotel room at Buenos Aires.

[Lunchbox]

That's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

And now I think they say he was trying to climb out. You see how Mike. Yeah. I think they charged some people from the hotel.

[Eddie]

Like a hotel. Yeah, hotel employees.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's for the drugs. Right. But instead of, like, just falling out, I think they said he was trying to, like, climb down for some reason, probably. I mean, because of the effects of the drugs. But if you, like, just fall out, then you wonder, did somebody push him out? Unless they're not wanting.

[Eddie]

And he was there for a show or something. Right. Like, he was there.

[Bobby Bones]

No idea.

[Lunchbox]

He was gonna go watch the other guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Niall. Nile, are you doing sounds?

[Eddie]

Niall Horan. I think it's his name.

[Bobby Bones]

Right, okay. Oh, got it right. I don't know.

[G]

It is Nile.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I thought you were just doing Sounds like oil.

[Eddie]

No, I read all this stuff, and I'm trying to put all the pieces together.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, that was recent. I remember that one. Donald Sutherland, who was very old.

[Lunchbox]

Who?

[Bobby Bones]

Donald Sutherland. He was.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Kiefer Sutherland. Oh.

[Morgan]

Oh, his dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Donald. Donald was in Hunger Games. He was. He was a bad guy. He was President Snow.

[G]

President Snow.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's a recent one, but. Right. Was he like 90? Something like 100? Something like that?

[G]

Wasn't he pretty old when he did Hunger Games, too?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Had to be, because he is in his. I don't have. I think I tossed a sheet with his age on it. Oh, here we go. He was. Oh, wait, no, that's not him. How old was Donald Sutherland? He died.

[Eddie]

He was 88.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not that old. It's old, but that's not that old. I was wrong. I thought I was, like, 100. Who am I thinking of? That's. Oh, I think. Okay. Dick Van Dyke. No, Dave, he's barely alive. Yes, but. No, no, he's not barely alive. He's old Jimmy Carter, barely alive. And then the husband of. She used to be really hot. She's like, Latin. But his dad is an actor. You guys, we. We can do this. We can work together.

[Eddie]

I like this game.

[G]

Sophia Vegara.

[Bobby Bones]

No, older. Go back 10 more years. Latin? Yep.

[Eddie]

Oh, like, Like.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. She. Penelope Cruz. Hold on, everybody. Everybody take a breath.

[Eddie]

Okay. Just trying to guess that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I hear you. Everybody, we're going hard on the Latin. Her. She is in the. When they break in. Like George Cloney. Brad Pitt. Okay, who? The ocean. 11 movies. Yeah, I think she's in some of a couple of them. And then her husband. It's his dad. Because her husband's very famous. We gotta track this.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I got nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

We got. We got holiday brain here because we're all tired. Okay, Oceans.

[Eddie]

Someone remember Julia Robertson. Oceans.

[Bobby Bones]

We scroll.

[G]

Catherine's at a job.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. And who's her husband?

[Lunchbox]

Douglas. Michael Douglas.

[Bobby Bones]

Kirk Douglas's dad. Michael Douglas is like 200, right? Is he dead? Kirk.

[Eddie]

Kirk Douglas is dead.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. How old? I bet he was like 98. He died in 2020. I bet he had to be almost 120. Was 100. Look. 103. Boom. Look at that. That's who I get mixed up with. Donald Sutherland. Because they're the dad of another famous actor. And I knew that dude was older than crap. That was wild.

[Morgan]

I was like, we're supposed to go back and remember him four years ago. Man, that was tough.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm talking about because he was the dad of another actor.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Michael Douglas.

[Bobby Bones]

And I get those two mixed up. Sutherland and. Got it. Now they're both dead, so I gotta mix them up anymore. We got there. Yeah, we got there.

[G]

Michael Douglas. Why does he look familiar?

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of stuff. 80s, massive actor in the past 10 years. No idea. Movie Mike is in, it was in Mighty Ducks. Ant Man.

[G]

Ant Man. That's what I know him from.

[Bobby Bones]

Tito Jackson died.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, he's one of the Jacksons. Like Michael Jackson's family.

[Eddie]

But that would have worked even if he wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

We could not have said. You were wrong.

[Lunchbox]

Right, I know, but I mean, I was saying specifically, was he in the Jackson 5?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And did you know the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons are not the same thing, Although they do have some of the same members.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't know that. So was Jet the Jacksons after Michael?

[Bobby Bones]

The Jacksons were new members. And aft. And possibly after I don't know if Michael was ever in it, but they did have to change their name for a bit because it was Wasn't just the five. The Jackson five. And then they ended up being the Jacksons, later known as the Jacksons. So there's some switch up there. Imagine that you're with all your brothers. You guys are all really good. And your freaking littlest one is the one that gets all the attention. Like, you spent your whole life studying how to play the bass. And, like, you're singing and like this little knucklehead who's like, sucking on mom's boob eight months ago, all of a sudden is the star. Yeah, you just get the resentment there. That's crazy. The Jack. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think about that with my family. I was the youngest.

[Bobby Bones]

So how many Jackson's can you name? Amy?

[Lunchbox]

Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Tito Jackson.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you Jackson Fives. Janet was not in the Jackson.

[Lunchbox]

Tito, Michael. That's it. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Jermaine.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, that's the only.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably the only one I would know, too. Jackie Jackson was one. It looks at him as tambourine. What a crappy instrument to have to play.

[Eddie]

But easy.

[Bobby Bones]

We just need another brother.

[Lunchbox]

That'd be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Can anybody have Marlon and Randy Jackson? But not the same as Randy Jackson. Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

I thought, like, I thought you were gonna blow my mind. Hey, not for me, dog.

[Bobby Bones]

This Randy Jackson's also bald, so I've seen people on TikTok get confused. And it's a funny bit when someone's like, did you know Randy Jackson? Not the same guy.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But not the same guy. Phil Donahue, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Talk show host, innovator. That. In that format, like, really one of the first and probably the first to make it massive. Like daytime television did it for 30 years.

[Eddie]

He was before Geraldo.

[Bobby Bones]

I would say. Yes. And a bit different than Geraldo, too.

[Eddie]

I was too young for Geraldo, but I remember Geraldo because of the mustache.

[Bobby Bones]

Geraldo's still, like, doing his thing.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think because the originals and like, the pioneers in that world were Donahue, like Sally, Jesse Raphael, Geraldo, Oprah. Oprah was like, based on, like, a Donahue type thing. So Oprah was the first to go massive. Massive. But even she says, like, without them, that she'd have never been the person. Bob Newhart, actor. Yeah. Comedian then. Actor, for sure.

[Eddie]

Is he an elf?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, he's his dad.

[Eddie]

The elf dad?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Really? One of the funniest. It was 94. Like, I don't know that there's anybody that's been funny for that long. He stayed funny even when he was really, really old. And he was massive in his 70s and 80s. I did. I'm a Bob Newhart fan and I do have a Bob Newhart sign thing in my memorabilia collection. But like, if you look back at some of the stuff he was doing in the 70s and 80s, really like ahead of his time. Funny, but very deadpan. Always. Not a lot of energy purposefully. But he died. He was 94. Willie Mays.

[Lunchbox]

Baseball player.

[Bobby Bones]

He was 93. Played center field for the Giants both when they were in two cities, New York and San Francisco. Could run, could hit, could do it all. Multi tool player 93. Dang. OJ Simpson, not a Jew. Oh, I forgot.

[Eddie]

He died this year.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys say that every time you hear O.J. simpson? Because in my head I do. O.J. simpson, not at you.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

From Adam Sandler. Hanukkah song so good. Yeah. O.J. simpson, nada Jew. But you know who is hall of Famer Rod Carew. Must be a guy thing put on Ya Yamaka. Man, that song was legendary as a kid. OJ Simpson, crazy good football player, college, even NFL like. Then became one of the first to transition to be a movie star.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Naked Gun.

[Bobby Bones]

And then transitioned to murderer. Now it's a crazy transition.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No one saw it coming. He was acquitted of murder charges. Died April 10 following a battle with cancer. He did lose the civil case and I don't know he ever paid any money to them. But. So I should say accused murderer. I don't want to get sued from the dead or the estate. But he did go to jail for a long time. And mostly it's because a lot of his memorabilia, somebody else had it and he broke in and tried to get it back. And I don't know if they had it legally or illegally, but then held them because I kidnapped them.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Chris Croissant. We did that. Toby Keith, big one. I waited to do this one last.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

He died at the very beginning of the year. The country singer and songwriter known for his larger than life personality died on February 5th. He was 62. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2022. The last time he came in here, he obviously was very thin, but you know, what I was told was that he was thin because he was going through stuff, but he was on his way back. Look, I didn't know. You talk to people that knew him, they didn't know that he Was so close to it being the end. I guess he did not want people to know. He did a couple shows in Vegas, if you remember. I had friends that went. I got friends tickets to those shows live in California, Vegas. And they were like, man, he started a little slow because you can tell he's standing. But by the end of it, he was going all out and played for two hours. And so everybody's like, you better launch this tour. And then it was. You just wake up and it's like, Toby Keith died. Like, wait, what? Like, we had just talked to him, too, before he came in in February, two months or so, doing bowl game time, because we were with Toby, Jake, Owen, myself and Toby, a bunch of Oklahoma people, some Florida State people were in, like, a suite at a bowl game in Orlando because they played each other. Florida State. And so everybody's up there. I mean, as far as anybody knew, that was not his, like, extreme close family. I think everybody thought that he was on the other side of it. So, yeah, that was a really surprising one. Toby Keith died February 5, 2024. Rest in peace. Toby Keith, rest in peace. All those folks.

[Eddie]

Was Jimmy Buffett this year or last year?

[Bobby Bones]

He's not on the list, so he must have been last year.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe. Maybe minus O.J. but allegedly. Okay. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

23. O.J. allegedly. Rest in peace, maybe. Allegedly.

[Eddie]

Everything's allegedly.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

TBD.

[Bobby Bones]

Allegedly.

[Lunchbox]

On the rip.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's pretty funny. Your pee can have dangerous health risks. Hold. If you hold it, the experts say.

[Lunchbox]

Holding your what?

[Bobby Bones]

Your pee.

[Eddie]

Holding your pee.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay. I thought you said peak. Like, never mind if you hold your peak. I don't know. Sounded like, don't do your best yet. Hold yourself back like when you're in your peak. Like, this is what's dangerous to your health.

[Bobby Bones]

But obviously holding your peak might be dangerous, too, because maybe you just need to flirt. Be the flower that you're meant to be. You know, go. You know, feel the rain on your face. No one else can tell me to it. Holding your pee generally can be harmless, but there are some cases in which the behavior can pose threats to your health, especially if it's regular. Once the bladder is about half full, nerve receptors tell the brain it's time to pee. And the brain tells the bladder to hold it until it's socially acceptable to urinate. That's when the brain will send signals that relax the urethral sphincter muscle and make the bladder muscles contract to squeeze urine out. But urine has toxins in it that's why your body's trying to get rid of it. And so what ends up happening if you do this semi regularly is that you hold in toxins, and then eventually, over time, those toxins end up back.

[Lunchbox]

In your body, in your bloodstream.

[Bobby Bones]

Back in your bloodstream.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, now I'm. That's good information because I tell my.

[Eddie]

Kids to hold it all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, I think hold it occasionally is okay. But if you have a job and it's like me, I probably have toxins.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes I hold it for five hours.

[Eddie]

I hope not, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I just like a game with myself. The first stages of it not being properly allowed to release are things like UTIs. Yeah, yeah. That's bacteria in the urinary tract. Tracked is always a weird word, guys. I think it's track, but it's tracked.

[Eddie]

The T at the end.

[Bobby Bones]

And, you know, I watched on TikTok trapped do a live stream the other day. Trapped. Can you think of trapped? Big song. Who? I can't T R A P T. Trapped.

[Eddie]

Give us a. Hey, give us a one. One note or one word.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't know how the first one go. You'll know the song when I sing the chorus. I know Mike will know it. It's a big pop song, too. We played in our pop days a lot. Maybe. Maybe before you guys.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But I mean, I still head strong.

[Bobby Bones]

Make you anyone headstrong. I play on my phone. I don't sing it very well.

[Eddie]

You know that one?

[G]

I think that's on my workout playlist.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[G]

Yeah, I know that one.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a banger. That guy still looks kind of the same. And his eyes look a little older, which is kind of what age does. Even if those guys like the Papa Roach guy. I met him. Papa.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Mr. Roach looks pretty good. He's in his 40s.

[Eddie]

Cut my life into pieces.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Looks pretty good.

[Eddie]

Looks older, but a lot of tattoos.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Morgan]

I recognize that beat.

[Eddie]

This is Trapped.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And this was a big pop song. I mean, it was in that state.

[Eddie]

Is this Creed Nickelback time? It's got to be.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's Lincoln Park. Everything with a guitar in that same decade. Eddie's not the same. Eddie's convinced everything's the same. If you were in the 2000. 2000, 2010s, you're Creed some 41.

[Eddie]

Creed Nickelback, Linkin Park, Trap.

[Bobby Bones]

Not the same. It just happens to be 2000th rock. Yeah, but it's not the same. Yeah. Papa. When Papa Roach. Because I played that back klaz, my first station. When that thing came as a song, it was like, this is the hardest thing ever to be on, like, pop radio. Cut my life into, man. Just the lyrics, dude. Just all sonically, lyrically, it was like, this is like metal. And then it became a hit, and then everything else kind of launched off of it. That song is a jam. Suffocation, no breathing don't give up if I got my army Da na na na na na yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

That was hard.

[Bobby Bones]

Hardcore. And he did a song with Carrie Underwood a couple months ago, and it's really good. Really? Carrie loved. Is a big rock person. You know, she was like, doing stuff with Guns N Roses. She's doing.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But was anybody with me when I met him? Any of us?

[Eddie]

No, I heart.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Yeah. I just saw really nice guy. What is his name? Mike? It was something like Guthrie or something. I don't know. I don't remember what it was. It wasn't Guthrie. But I remember thinking, you know, I.

[Lunchbox]

Was in that room where the blue men were.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, I was there. I saw him.

[Bobby Bones]

Jacoby.

[Eddie]

Oh, is that it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Jacoby Shadix and looks pretty good. He's 48. He's not that old. He was just young when he was doing it, so seems older. Jacoby. I know. It's not like Guthrie or Jacoby or some name. Yeah, no, they're still. Still doing it. Okay, one more thing. A manipulative mom's disgraceful reason for lying, saying she had stage four breast cancer and got $700,000 in GoFundMe donations. Like, this is the whole thing. And now she was sentenced to five years of probation. Only felony probation.

[Lunchbox]

What's her name?

[Bobby Bones]

Emily Joyce Hinajosa. I wonder how many of these are actually being done where people are just lying because there's no regulation on GoFundMe.

[Eddie]

And is that why she just gets probation? Because they probably.

[Bobby Bones]

$7,000. It wasn't over.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, did you say just 7,000? Why? In my head, I was.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, There was another one.

[Lunchbox]

700.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a price. Stumbled it. So maybe there was another one recently where somebody faked cancer for a while and made hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions. Like that's prison.

[Lunchbox]

Or is that Scamanda girl?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Her name's Amanda. But there. There's a whole podcast on it called Scamanda. Because she's scammed.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

So Scamanda, that's Amanda.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she was. Had cancer for years, but she didn't really have It. But I mean, she would post things like, as if she was at appointments. I mean, she took it, she would blog about it. She was one of the first back in the day that was like a, A blogger. People all over the country were dedicated to her story. They were invested. Like, they wanted to know how she was. And she would construct these whole, like, today was really hard. And she would, she. I can't remember if she had some sort of maybe medical background, like a nurse or something, or maybe she would.

[Eddie]

Just Google so she knew what she was talking about.

[Lunchbox]

Use all the big words that, you know you get at appointments like that. And then you really know.

[Bobby Bones]

I ain't googling that stuff. I'm exactly like, I know what it means.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Morgan]

I got a question, but why is that illegal? Because you put up a GoFundMe and you put up a story. If someone doesn't do their research, I get. Not their fault, I believe.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, like, if I, if I.

[Morgan]

Give a homeless man on the side of the road says, I will buy food with this and he buys beer, can he go to prison for that?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I think again, she didn't go to prison for $7,000 because it didn't meet the threshold of how much money it was that needs to be stolen for that. I think at some point it then is fraud after a certain number.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. She was having like organizations were flying her places.

[Bobby Bones]

And if it's big and if it's big enough for people to care to prosecute you. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, that's not a couple dollars.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a couple dollars.

[Lunchbox]

She would get like. Cause flight, hotel, all the things. Like, she would be like a speaker. You know, she'd take these trips because she was gonna die. But then suddenly the she'd get better and she'd be like, I can't believe it. I'm cancer free. And then certain amount of time would pass and she would say, I have terrible news. The cancer has returned. And then people would. It's just a roller coaster she kept people on. I. I don't know. There has to be some sort of accountability. Like, I don't know, even like people that scam people on dating or Tinder swindler, stuff like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You don't go to jail for lying, but you swindle.

[Lunchbox]

Can you go to jail swindling?

[Morgan]

If someone voluntarily gives you money to a GoFundMe, that's on you, man.

[Lunchbox]

She would get up before her church and like give these whole, like, you know, like, that's got it. That can't be right. You can't go before your church where people are making donation collections and have this whole lie of a story and people pass around a collection plate for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Again, we have to look up the role here. I think it is once you hit a certain point, the crime gets worse and worse. If I were to lie to get $10 from you, I'm not going to jail for fraud unless somebody trying to set an example out of me who's a politician, wants to prosecute because they know other things I've done, too. Because again, there's no rule against lying. Unless you're lying to the certain people, you can't lie in court. So, yeah, if somebody says, I'm going to trick you and I served in Vietnam, please help me out. Homeless. But you're like, dude, you're 19. There's no way that sign is accurate. That probably is not jail, but once. What's up?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I had only listened to the podcast, but it looks like ABC put together a documentary that is premiering in 2025.

[Bobby Bones]

There's also like, watch it Wire fraud type, where if you're getting money from somebody sent like, if you're lying and they're sending money across. Because wire fraud now is not just basically like a why. So that's part of it, too. I think there's a lot of nuance to it. But if you're doing a GoFundMe and you make $83 and you're lying, I don't think you're going to jail. If you do a GoFundMe, it's a public case and you've probably hit a numerical threshold. You're probably going to be prosecuted. Looks like she also forged some documents and gave some, like, false scam and false testimony and some hearings.

[Eddie]

The name's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

And there's probably once you. At a certain point, you're doing big stuff to do it, and to do the big stuff, you're going to have to do some fall documenting.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I just listen to the podcast a long time ago, but now I'm. Apparently we have that to look forward to in 2025.

[Eddie]

Like, scammers are the same, right? Like, they call and they tell you a lie and then you give them money. And we don't. I don't really read stories of big scammers going to jail or getting caught.

[Bobby Bones]

Getting caught because most countries.

[Eddie]

Dang, it's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Look that up, Mike. Like, how much do you have to scam for it to be a something or like, what the. What the Fraud law is because, again, they're not gonna take a homeless guy to the. As long as there is intentional deception to deprive somebody of money or property through false representation, that is fraud. So. Yeah, okay, and. But they're not going to go after it unless it's worth it to go after it, so. But I would say, even if the amount's $10, but you have, like, I wouldn't even say priors, but there's a reason someone wants to take you down. It would be like how they take the gangsters down back in the day. They'd be like, we can't get them for all the murders, so we get them for tax evasion.

[Eddie]

That's how they all went down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So any intentional deception for money or property can be fraud, regardless of what it is. So if you lie, I'm turning you in for fraud. You could go, I mean, by the rule, you over expense at the company and lie.

[Morgan]

Not me.

[Bobby Bones]

No one was even talking to you.

[Eddie]

Why did you respond to that?

[Morgan]

Because by. He looked at me.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I looked at everybody.

[Eddie]

You didn't look at you.

[Morgan]

Oh, he looked right at me.

[Bobby Bones]

You over expense.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh. It looks like she also stole money. I forgot that there was this other fundraiser she was a part of for this person named Ms. Cindy, and she ended up Miss Cindy actually really did have cancer. But Scamanda took like 50% of what was fundraised for Ms. Cindy, and then Ms. Cindy ended up dying from cancer. But that's like. So that's one of her crimes, too, is the theft of, like, taking from a fundraiser that wasn't for her.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like you're not saying her name right.

[Lunchbox]

It's Amanda.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, not even that.

[Lunchbox]

It's Amanda Riley. Scamanda.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's Scamanda.

[Lunchbox]

It is, but I say no.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but I think it's a scam. I know that.

[Lunchbox]

Scamanda. That just feels weird to me.

[Eddie]

It's harder to say Scamanda for sure, but Scama.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's why it's written like that. So you do. Whoever came up with that novel idea, like, we need to make sure we say it like they named Scamanda.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Scamanda.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Is that better? Scammanda.

[Bobby Bones]

I just feel bad for the person who created her name, and now we're just peeing on it.

[G]

Scam.

[Lunchbox]

Onda.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, see, that's bad too. Scamonda. You're really insulting them now.

[Lunchbox]

Amanda.

[Bobby Bones]

Scamanda.

[Lunchbox]

Scamanda.

[Bobby Bones]

And you gotta wonder too, if she was starting without full intention of it being as big as it was, like somebody who robs a bank. And I was like, well, that was kind of easy. Let's do another. Another. Another. And then all of a sudden, Scamanda, who was scamming people, was like, I could probably make a few hundred bucks. Doing this one time is like, wow, that was easy. Let me just keep going. And by. It doesn't make it any more. Right. It all makes it. It's still terrible. I wonder if that was kind of the idea not to try to make thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars from it.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you probably don't think you're that kind of person.

[Lunchbox]

No, I think some of it, too, and this is my opinion, was she liked the attention. And then she started realizing maybe the money. And so then now it's double. You're getting the money, but you're also getting sympathy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I bet you're right about that one. Like, that's currency to some people. Attention.

[Lunchbox]

The IRS also prosecuted her for not paying taxes on the money she scammed.

[Bobby Bones]

They got her like a gangster, because why are you gonna pay. Why are you gonna pay taxes on money you're scamming?

[Lunchbox]

Well, but she was.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I guess if you're getting publicly.

[Lunchbox]

Receiving it, you know, because it wasn't a scam.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, if I were scamming, I wouldn't let BAE know. I'd be a secret scammer. It's like Secret Santa. All right, everybody, we're gonna play Secret Scammer this year. Whoever's name you draw, you got a scam. Good luck. Got the whole year to do it.

[Eddie]

That'd be a fun bit.
