Question. What's the best and worst way to communicate with friends? Obviously, it's messaging. Messaging is great, but it can also go off the rails when I speak on a group chat. I want it to be easy without any issues. WhatsApp can help. You can message privately with everyone and you can edit messages, create polls, do pinned messages, and send invites. Plus you can send photos and videos and they look better. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with Everyone. Okay, so if you didn't know, Prime Big Deal Days is coming up soon.

Hey guys, it's Matt and Leah from the Grown Up Stuff podcast.
Leah
Matt, did I tell you about the road trip I'm taking this weekend?
Matt
Yes, you keep talking about it. I've hear every detail.
Leah
I even told you I'm getting my oil changed before I go.
Matt
Oh, you actually didn't tell me that one. But that's a smart idea.
Leah
And my car gets the best with Pennzoil Platinum. Full synthetic motor oil because it maximizes engine protection. Pennzoil's a name you can trust to protect your car. And let's just say my car is revving to go.
Matt
Have fun.
Leah
Ask for Pennzoil Platinum at Firestone Complete auto Care. Pennzoil. Long may we drive.
Eddie
Here we go.
Bobby Bones
Come on, Bobby.
Transmitting across America. Welcome to Thursday's show. Morning studio. Morning. Let's talk about naming babies. I want to play this tick tock clip first. Here's a guy that I saw bring this up. This woman charges people $30,000 to name their children for them. And I cannot stress this enough. If you and your partner so fundamentally incapable of coming to a decision together about what your kid should be named that you are considering paying someone else to do it, you should instead separate.
Eddie
No, that's dumb.
Bobby Bones
Separate.
Yeah. That means you can't decide on anything, so.
Right.
You shouldn't be together. It's two people that do not have the ability to make a single decision. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna read you something about this woman. A San Francisco woman has turned her obsession with baby names into a lucrative profession. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Taylor Humphrey charges indecisive parents $30,000 to help them pick out the perfect baby name. She describes herself as a name nerd and has already picked out names for more than 500 children. Taylor even offers add on services for additional costs that include baby name branding and identifying a unique name aesthetic. She insists there's a lot more to this job than people realize. Sometimes I get calls from clients that are so urgent that I need to drop everything and help them right away. Taylor's unique job is currently earning her hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Your thoughts?
These are also people where 30,000 to them must feel like $30.
Probably most. Because probably most.
I can't fathom that.
I can't fathom paying $5 to somebody. I can't fathom having somebody pay me to pick out the name.
Yeah. It just seems bizarre. I do think that there might be trouble in the relationship. Like that one guy, though. Like, imagine having to pay somebody for. For that.
I would say it's two people who can't make a decision.
Yeah.
Or two people who can't agree on. Again, even if you have to bring in, like a mediator, if you can't agree on a name, you're not gonna pay them $30,000. You just pick a friend or you flip a coin.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Flip a coin.
You know how much flipping a coin costs? The price of the coin?
Yes. Yeah, that's it.
Not 30.
I was gonna say $0, but you're right. Probably 25 cents.
Oh, you got a quarter? I want a nickel.
Really? You would flip a. No, if we flip a coin, it's a quarter.
Okay.
I like it. It's a more substantial.
I flip a silver dollar, then Susan.
B. Anthony, then nobody's flipping a dime.
Yeah, that's true.
Eddie
Too small.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, way too small. Yeah. 30 grand to pick a baby name. That's wild. But you know what I'm not gonna hate because get it if you can get it. There's obviously an industry there. I think some of her add ons like that makes sense. If people are going to pay for that, they're probably going to be stupid enough to pay for things. Like how did you create a baby brand with the name?
Yeah. I don't know. I feel like we should check on these people mentally though too. I mean, I get that they have a lot of money, but she taking advantage of them.
I don't think it's like a psychic with people who are vulnerable. I think it's like somebody who is probably a little weird to herself taking advantage of rich people. And you know what? We don't mind that.
Okay.
Eddie
Just rich people.
Bobby Bones
We don't mind taking advantage of rich people. Somebody gave us advice and I think we're probably going to do it anyway when talking about a baby name because we are going to have a baby that they said share it with no one. Yeah, that's probably smart because everybody wants to give their two cents. Everybody has ideas, but share it with no one because you don't want everybody's two cents or ideas. If you're like debating between two or three and there's somebody that you're close to, you can go to them, but we're not going to do that.
So do you think that y' all are gonna agree pretty easily?
No.
Okay.
No, no.
Eddie
Do you want to hire this one?
Bobby Bones
There already must be tension.
I don't have your voice.
Your reaction right now.
Lunchbox
I can give you any indication.
Bobby Bones
Oh my gosh. Bobby's like, let's name him. What's the hog? Razorback Razor.
Oh my God, that's already my nephew's name.
Razor?
No, my cousin. It's my cousin Razor.
Eddie
Cousin's name is Razor.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because of the. Because of the hog.
Yeah. That's a nickname.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
But I mean I could see you fighting legally for Razor and the Middle name back.
Trust me, ain't Razor Back Bones. Ain't none of that happening. But we're not gonna pay anybody money. And who knows? We may have to flip a coin.
Eddie
When, like, how close of a friend would it take for it for you to, like, chime in and, like, say, I don't like that name?
Bobby Bones
You wouldn't. That's not a close friend. If somebody chimes in without being asked, that's not a close friend.
Yeah, I don't think that we would have. I think we would want to support whatever the name is. Unless it's something that's like.
So here we're thinking about going with Hitler. What are you guys thinking? Yes.
Like, I was thinking isis, you're kid, man. Something like that.
We're calling him Ary R. Kelly.
Oh.
How is it spelled? R K, E, L, L, Y. I don't think that's not the right idea there. Yeah. So 30,000 bucks to name your baby seems a bit excessive. But you know what? We're not gonna shame. We're not gonna shame people for how they spend their money. Yeah, we're not gonna pocket watch.
No, we don't. We don't. Money shame.
We won't shame them, but we can make fun of them a little bit. So it was in Austin last night for a Lionel Richie book event. He has a new book that came out this week. It's called Truly. It's a big, fat, thick book. It's good, and I read 80% of it.
Oh, there are lots of pictures.
There are a good amount of pictures, but he just has a lot of stories. One story that was in the book, and we talked a bit about Michael Jackson last night was when Michael Jackson was a kid, and in Jackson 5, Lionel Richie and the Commodores, because that was Lionel's band opened for the Jackson 5.
Eddie
Crazy.
Bobby Bones
So they went out and their first show with the Jackson 5 was Madison Square Garden. And so they go out and they're opening. Michael's like 13, Lionel's like 19. So Michael is younger, and they sell out Madison Square Garden, which is crazy because Jackson 5, they're from the Midwest. Lionel Richie's from Alabama. That whole Commodore's band, it's just a bunch of college friends from Tuskegee, Alabama. And Lionel played saxophone, but he never really trained to play saxophone. He just had it kind of play by ear a little bit. He had a saxophone, and they're like, you play saxophone? I was like, yeah, why not? So that was the Commodores, a bunch of guys from college. Wow. And so they're up and they're opening for the Jackson 5. And so Lionel at 19 or 20 and Michael at 13, 14, 15 became friends. And he said that Michael Jackson a lot of times smelled bad because. And this is a crazy thing you don't think about when it comes to fame is that anytime. Cause they were on the road all the time. They really didn't go back home much. Anytime Michael would like, send his clothes off to be cleaned, they would keep most of them because it was Michael Jackson's clothes. Or they'd figure out, and he was so famous, people wanted to keep his stuff. So when he had a pair of pants or shirt he liked, he wouldn't send it to get cleaned because he wouldn't get it back. So he'd wear it all the time.
Eddie
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
And the shirt would end up stinking.
Oh. Huh.
Because everybody wanted whatever was Michael Jackson's. And so Lionel would like give him his clothes and it would be too big. And you see Michael Jackson, these clothes are way too big. But it was Lionel going, here, take these clothes. Like, wear these. It wasn't because they needed the money. There was another point too, that Joe Jackson, who was very abusive to Michael. And that came out probably way later. Joe Jackson managed the band. And the Commodores were awesome, like, high energy. People wanted to find them as funk because it was all black guys. But they weren't. They were charting on country radio, they were charting on pop radio. They really weren't charting on the traditional black charts as much as they were charting on the traditional white charts, which confused everybody. And they were developing such a following that even the newspapers that would review the shows, they would give the Jackson five good reviews. But they'd be like, we're so surprised at how good the Commodores were. And it wasn't that the Jackson 5 wasn't as good as the Commodores. People just expected the Jackson 5 to be awesome. But a lot of the write ups would be. The Commodores blew our minds because we had no idea that an opener was going to be that good. Not saying they were better, just saying that was a big surprise. And they got to one of their shows and their stuff wasn't there. And they couldn't find their instruments and their clothes because they wore, like, costumes, like matching type costumes. Turns out Joe had sabotaged all their stuff. Michael Jackson's dad and so.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Shady.
Yeah, shady. We did like an hour and a half last night. It'll be a full Bobby cast. I love Lionel and I was super pumped that he invited me to do that. Like I said, he did four of these shows, or he's doing four of the shows. I think he has another one in Las Vegas tonight. And so he was like, hey, will you come do this? I know Austin's like a home to you, and we're finding people that are familiar with these cities. And so I was like, yeah, that's great. And they were like, hey, we'll pay you whatever. And I was like, better than the money. Can I just have the ability to record all this content and keep it? And they were just like, yeah. So we went and rented a bunch of cameras, shot it multi camera, and it'll be a Bobby cast, and we'll have it up on my Bobby Bones channel, YouTube probably next week. It's pretty great. It's pretty great. Like, he's compelling when he speaks. And I didn't have to do much as far as I knew all the information, because I read most of the book. I tried to finish it. I just couldn't finish it. It was a long one. I mean, I really dedicated myself. But, yeah, once he gets talking, he just tells stories. It's great. I think the crowd wanted him to sing, but he said at the beginning, hey, this is not a music show. He said, I don't have a band. This is weird for me too. So I'm not really gonna do a bunch of singing. There were a couple times where I, like, goaded him into being. Give me a little bit of, like, it's easy, like, Sunday morning. And they'd be like, ah, they would give us more. And he's like, not a singing channel. Yeah, because then he has to sing every song then people. So we did that. Got home last night, like midnight. Is brutal, brutal, brutal night. I didn't hit my laptop with me, which is stupid.
Yeah, that's weird. Why'd you. What happened?
Because I was just going to. Coming right back.
Oh, so you purposefully didn't take it?
Yeah, I didn't forget it. No. But I wish I would have thought about it because on the way back, I was like, oh, man, I could be working on the show tomorrow. And I sent Mike a text because Mike and I just trade notes all night, and then I'll send him a big, like, overall list and grid of stuff that we possibly will talk about. I'm like, you ain't getting anything from me tonight. I'll just send it in the morning. And I got home and I was like, I can't. I'm. I can't go to sleep. Not working and having some sort of plan. So I think he got the notes about 12:30 last night. Yeah, he said he was surprised to get anything. I was surprised to send anything. Late night? Yeah. Probably fell asleep around one. Got up, came up. But it was. It was a fun show. We'll have it all up sometime soon. But there's a TikTok video that Lionel and I did, and I was like, I can't remember the words of this song. It's up on my Instagram TikTok. And I was like, it's easy. And then he comes up. He's like, easy. Like, Sunday morning. You can use some practice.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, keep practicing, kids.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's what he said. Keep practicing, kids.
So I know you said it's a thick, long book, but if people. I just looked it up, and it's on audible, so people could listen to it. If they.
It's good. It's really good. But he has so many stories.
It'd probably be cool to hear him say the stories in his voice.
I don't know if he does the audiobook or not really. I know. I'm not saying he doesn't.
Okay. It is narrated by Blair Underwood.
What? He got Blair Underwood to narrate it.
Eddie
Who's Blair Underwood?
Bobby Bones
Famous actor.
Oh, yeah.
Like, it'd be cooler if it was Lionel.
There's an introduction by Lionel himself offering, like, a candid look at his life from his early years. But then Blair takes over.
I got to tell my favorite Lionel Richie story in front of Lionel Richie, which I've never done, which is the time I went over to host American Idol. Wasn't really going to. It was like eight minutes till the show started. They're like, ryan is sick. He's tried to get here. He can't. You have to host. I'm like, okay. And I didn't think the show was bigger than me. I've been doing this forever, but I didn't know, like, stage direction, because there's a lot of that. That's not just talking to a camera. It's knowing what camera, where to walk so you don't get hit by props, so you know where the people are coming from. You have a minute and a half to get to this point. Like, all that stuff, I didn't know because we didn't rehearse it. And so I was just kind of running through it, and the story is like a puff of smoke. And Lionel was standing beside me, and he's like, Commodores, 1963. And so I Got to tell this story about him telling a story about when the Commodores were just thrown on Dick Clark not being ready. And it was fun. It was fun. He's awesome. He gave me, like, 10 minutes of baby talk. He was like, babies not on stage because we were hanging out in the dressing room before. He's like, you're having a baby. Let me tell you about babies. They're going to ask you to be on the entertainment committee when that baby gets to be a kid. And they're going to say, you know, famous people. So why don't you get famous people to come and do a charity event at our school? Because you know who else was on the entertainment committee? Your friend Lionel. I didn't want to be, but I was. And he's doing an impression of him. Like, it looks like he's scooting something. And I'm like, lionel, what are you doing? I'm moving a chair to this table because this table needs more people sitting here for the event we're having tonight that I organized on the entertainment committee. So, yeah, we'll have it up probably next week, just because I want to make sure. Because that first two weeks a book comes out are the two big weeks, because they're trying to hit, like, bestseller lists. But, yeah, that's what's up. It was really cool. I love the Paramount Theater. That's my favorite theater, because that theater is very personal to me. There are cooler physical theaters. The Warner Theater in D.C. comes to mind because that was right by the Capitol. It's large, like Majestic, but the Paramount Theater. I went to so many shows when we were in Austin, and that was the first, like, the first time I ever sold that out. I have a picture of me on the stage afterward. It's really cool. And then the password for the WI Fi there is about Houdini.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
So did you tell Lionel about the hole?
Bobby Bones
No.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
Here's the thing about Lionel. You say a couple things, and you let him talk for a long time.
Eddie
That's true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Let him do all the talk.
Bobby Bones
You let him. He's got a lot of stories. He was telling a Jack Nicholson story last night about when you're on the entertainment committee, they want you to do other things. One time it was me and Jack Nicholson. And Jack walks up and says, what's the tuition here? They tell him, and he writes a check for three times that. And he goes, this is enough for me not to be on any of the committees. And he says, don't hit me up that was Jack Nicholson's committee.
That's funny.
I like that. But it's this one crazy story because he's been famous for so long. He's been famous since the 60s. Like, the only people that I can think of that have been famous that long and are still relevant and, like, still can talk about it, like, vividly, in great detail and be compelling. Is Aerosmith. Like, Steven Tyler, and I haven't talked to him in a long time, but they were famous in the late 60s. Like, to be so famous. The reason the Commodores broke up. And they were together close to 15 years, which is wild, because you would think we weren't alive then. They were, like, together a couple years and they broke up and he went solo. But he was like, I never wanted to leave the Commodores. What had happened was he started. They all wrote songs in the band. This is more from the book. The book's great. They all wrote songs from the band, and they would figure out what songs they were going to put on the record. And Lionel wasn't really the lead singer. He was someone who sang a little bit, but he played saxophone. There was a different guy that was the lead singer for the most part. And so. But they all wrote songs. And he said, you play like, 30 seconds of the song, and they may be like, eh or okay. But none of his ballads were getting cut by the Commodores. Like, almost none. Three Times a Lady, I think, was cut by the Commodores. And he's like, I had this song. And they were like, pass. He said, I got a call from country and Western at the time was what it was called singer Kenny Rogers. And they weren't close yet. And Kenny's like, hey, I know you have these songs that you're not cutting these ballads. Like, can you meet me and give me some of these songs? Because I'm gonna cut them, I'm gonna record them. And Lionel was like, well, we're on tour. Their drummer gets in, like, a motorcycle accident. They can't go on tour. So it's like, well, I have the day free now. And so he goes over to Vegas to meet Kenny Rogers. And Kenny's going on and on about his wife. And he's like, man. And Lionel had this song called Baby. And Kenny's like, I met this lady, and she's just awesome. And he kept referencing how she was, like, the first lady he had ever met. And he's like, you got a song about that? And he's like, well, it's been called Baby. But he goes, I Do. It's called Lady Changes to Lady. So Kenny cuts that song, records it. It's super popular. Lionel's known as the writer. And so then everybody starts to interview him about the songs he's written for other people. And it starts to be, hey, when you started the Commodore, it's like, I didn't start the Commodores. But he's the only part of the band that everybody wants to interview because he's found success in another place as well. And so then it starts to be. People start calling him Lionel Richie and the Commodores, and they tell the band, you got to get in line behind Lionel. Like, he's now in. Lionel's like, I'm not the lead guy. And he said, it just got so tense that he was like, I never wanted to leave the band, but the band wasn't the band. And so he did a couple solo things as just a. I'm going to do this on the side. And that popped, and there was some animosity within the band because Lionel was now promoted to the front, and he didn't want that. And he's like, okay, you guys still do this, because I don't want the band to break up, and I'll go do a couple solo things. And then it turned into.
Eddie
Well, that worked out.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it worked out pretty good. Yeah, it was great. So listen to it. Check the book out. Was there until, you know, late last night. Messed up my food order on the way home, which was terrible. I ordered.
Added dairy.
No, they just brought the wrong stuff. I ordered food to the back of. To the theater, and so I was gonna fly and eat on the way home. And, yeah, I ordered, like, a steak, and they brought me a cup of, like, side of steak, which is, like, six pieces.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
A side of steak.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
So what, did you eat it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
It's cold. It was small. There was nothing to it. That's all it was, though. I ordered a whole steak meal, but instead they just delivered a little cup of steak. That was the whole thing. Like, someone was just gonna order a cup of steak and pay the delivery fee. So, okay, it'll be up next week, but I'm here. We're good. Thank you guys for also being here.

Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bone Show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. Check this out. So how did Ashes come together? Diplo?
Diplo
Well, I kind of briefly met Bailey, I think at Morgan's show, one of them. And I think he's just a guy in Nashville. He's cool as hell. And I had a new kind of sound I wanted to do and I think he's the one guy that could carry it. And I came to his house, I had a show. I pulled up real quick. He about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we had like three hours play the record for him. We kind of like got a scratch and then he handled on his own on the road.
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah, it was really cool. He really just like randomly showed up to my house and like, oh, hey, Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay. And then now we're here playing it live.
Bobby Bones

Matt
Hey guys, it's Matt and Leah from the Grown Up Stuff podcast.

Matt, what even is this weather?
Matt
I know. I think it was sunny and snowing at the same time yesterday.
Leah
It's crazy. I have to keep my sunglasses and my snow boots in my car at all times, but you know how I make sure my car can handle it all?
Matt
Snow boots for your car?
Bobby Bones
Sort of.
Leah
But no. I make sure my oil change technician goes with Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic motor oil which maximizes engine protection and my engine needs Pennzoil Platinum to keep the adventures going through all the seasons even if they're happen same day. Ask for Pennzoil Platinum at Firestone Complete Auto Care Pennzoil. Long may we drive.

It is the perfect excuse to get your dogs, your cousins, your parents, your husband, something. I mean, we're talking about deals up to 40% off.

7Th and 8th Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back.

Anonymous in box there's a question to Be had. Send it into the mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. My fiance and I are in the middle of planning our wedding. Have different views on plus ones. I feel like we should only allow guests to bring serious partners, married, engaged, or living together. My fiance, on the other hand, thinks we should be more relaxed and let people bring casual dates if they want. Part of me worries that if we open it up to anyone, we'll end up with a bunch of random strangers in our wedding photos and at our tables. But my fiance says it's about making our guests feel comfortable. What's the best call here? Is there some sort of etiquette rule we should follow? Signed bride versus groom. Okay, so there are a couple factors here. As I have had a wedding in the last five years. It doesn't matter who's sitting at the tables for pictures. It doesn't matter like, any of that. Like, it's gonna be weird. People we don't know in pictures of our wedding. If they're not in the main pictures, which you're not gonna look at that much anyway after the first year, like, you may occasionally go back to them. As long as they're not in the main picture of, like, you with your mom and dad or like, family, it doesn't matter. So don't worry about people sitting at random tables, and that's going to be in the pictures. Heck, some of the people that you invite to your wedding as real guests, you're not even going to have a relationship with in a year and a half, two years. So don't look at it like that. If it's a money issue, I completely understand. So if you're doing it for a budget, just say, hey, you can come with a partner if they're a real partner, but if it's not a money issue and you're worried about a bunch of randoms, don't worry about that, because that's not going to matter at all. The one thing I would say is don't allow phones in the actual ceremony. You can have. Who cares if you have them in the reception, but don't allow them in the ceremony.
Yeah, I mean, really, it boils down to money. I wouldn't. Yeah, I'm with you. 100. I won't worry about the pictures. And you. Yeah, you. You are throw the reception is. Yes, it's for you, but you're throwing a party for your guests, so why not let them have a good time? But, yeah. And you. Would you handle that with the invites? If you send them the invitation and it says plus one. They know they get to bring a plus one. If it's addressed just to them, they know that it's just them.
Don't worry about randoms being there. If it's not a money issue. If it's not a money issue, let the people you love bring people they like. If it is a money issue. Yeah, for sure. That makes sense. Or if it's a. We can only invite so many people, and if they bring a plus one, we can't fit in other people.
Exactly.
That kind of stuff is fine to make sure that it's only, like, dedicated.
Partners, and your guests will understand that. Like, I would understand if I. If my friend said, hey, we really only have this much space, so these people are bringing plus ones. But you're not really dating anybody, so. No.
The guy you met at the bar Tuesday night.
Yeah, not happening.
And why are you at a bar on Tuesday night? That's. That's our suggestion. Don't wrap yourself up in things that really don't matter. That would be my biggest piece of advice. When it comes to having a wedding, none of this stuff is going to matter. You're gonna get there, it's gonna be awesome, and then it's gonna be over before you know it. So don't worry about that. And you're not gonna spend a bunch of time looking back at your pictures. You'll look back for a little bit, a couple months, but every once in a while, you might go back or you might do a throwback Thursday to your wedding in a couple years on Instagram, but that's it. So, yeah, enjoy it. Don't let the little things get in the way. All right, close it up. What is your list?
Most attractive female hobbies according to men?
Reading.
Oh, it's on there.
Eddie
Yeah, that's a good one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Boom.
That's number seven. There's ten.
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Oh, drinking.
Eddie
That's a good one.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like, you want a girl that wants to go out and have fun?
Bobby Bones
Is drinking on there?
Drinking's on. Their parting's not on there.
So this is what guys think is the hottest. That women do.
Y' all find this very attractive?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Eddie, watching sports.
Bobby Bones
I don't see that on here.
Eddie
That is so hot.
Bobby Bones
Although I can see how y' all.
Eddie
Are into that when girls are watching sports. It's so cool, man.
Bobby Bones
So, yes and no. I guess it depends if they know sports. That's.
Eddie
That's hot.
Bobby Bones
That's cool. If they don't know sports and are like, I don't Know sports. That's cool. If they don't know this is a guys and girls. If they don't know sports and they act like they know sports, not cool. So.
Yeah, because that's annoying.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But that can also be dudes as well. I just want to make sure I'm clear. Okay. But most times in my life when I've been with people who are acting like they know more than they do, it's been females.
Okay. So far, you all just have one reading lunchbox.
Y' all do yoga.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, okay. Working out made it.
Sit ups. Oh, okay. Got it.
Yeah. Working out is actually number one. So apparently, y' all find that the hottest.
I think what guys find the hottest from when girls work out is what happens after they work out. They get in shape.
Ah.
Eddie
The result of.
Bobby Bones
The result of working out, I think.
Okay. Or y' all like to watch them work out.
Eddie
No.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't think that's it. I'm not saying we don't like to watch them work out, but I'm saying. No, that's not.
Eddie
And you have to be real careful watching them working out.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like, you gotta look through a mirror and then catch another mirror.
Okay. Yeah.
Because you can't look right at them.
Y' all have your ways, but it's.
Lunchbox
Not necessarily when they're working out. It's like when they're done, they're walking out or walking to their car and their athleisure wear, and they got a little sweat glistening on their forehead. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Okay. So let's turn into a bunch of pervy answers.
I know.
Eddie
We're trying. We're just trying to guess.
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay. So what's the question again?
The top 10 most attractive female hobbies, according to men, are top 10 most attractive. And you've got reading and working out.
Eddie
Okay. I mean, these are hobbies they have. This might sound sexy.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Eddie
Cooking.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's number six.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
Okay. Eddie, if you're on that line, cleaning.
Bobby Bones
No, cleaning is not on the list.
Cleaning in their underwear.
Lunchbox
Like, you see her pushing that Swiffer, you're like, all right.
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay. Hey. Actually, I. I think that women find it hot when guys clean.
Pulling another woman's hair, like, fighting. That's not a hobby. When they grab another woman's hair and they go to town.
Okay. Y. The plot here. It's a hobby, huh?
Eddie
It's hard, Amy.
Lunchbox
I mean, what other hobbies do women have?
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay. It's a good question. Okay, okay.
Lunchbox
I really don't know.
Bobby Bones
Making Only Fans videos. Yeah, that's why. Yeah.
Eddie
It's not on the list. Amy.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't know we were doing Per minute.
Eddie
No, we're not. We're just trying to guess.
Bobby Bones
They've trapped me in their game. They've trapped me. I started reading and ended up at Only Fans. Bad trajectory. Okay. Okay. Let's think about this. Seriously.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Reading, cooking, cleaning, pillow fight, working out.
Eddie
When they play golf. That's pretty hot.
Bobby Bones
Playing sports. That's. Where is that one?
Eddie
No, no.
Bobby Bones
Playing, playing instruments.
No, but piano. I'll give you singing. It's on there.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That's musical.
Eddie
Performing.
Bobby Bones
You know, my wife sings a lot. Men, men, men, men, menly men, men, men, men, men, men. And then I come in and I go, man, man, man, man, manly man. Because we watched Charlie Sheen documentary. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. And that's.
Bobby Bones
And they do that.
Eddie
It's Two and a half And a Half Men.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. I don't.
I feel like I should just run through these.
I don't have any others.
Y' all are going to struggle.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Creative crafts.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
Man? That's not. Guys.
Lunchbox
What is that?
Bobby Bones
Guys don't care.
Gardening.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Dancing.
Yes. Okay, That's. That's. That's good.
Art, traveling and photography.
Eddie
Traveling.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
How's that attractive?
Lunchbox
It's a hobby.
Bobby Bones
Just that she's cultured.
Okay. Okay.
And then, like, if she has one of those fancy cameras, like, she's a photographer and she creates her art that way.
I just do whatever fulfills you. I like that. I like when you have something to do. Because they like when I have something to do.
Eddie
Shocked. Hair pulling is not on there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, me too. That was really strong when I felt like I came out of. Out of the stands for that one. Here's a. Here's a video clip. My house. Here we go. That's what we do all day.
Eddie
That's kind of fun.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with Amy.
Lunchbox
Tell me something good.
Bobby Bones
So way back in 1970, this woman, Debbie, she was only 11 years old, and she was watching a TV show, Big Blue Marble. Well, they had this whole deal where you could ride in the show and they'd set you up with a pen pal. And they did. They set her up with Jane in England. For the last 50 years, they have been pen pals because of this. Guess what?
The show.
Yeah, because of the.
They were like the conduit to find a pen pal.
The big.
And TV used to be awesome. Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Well, we only had three channels, dude.
Bobby Bones
Dude, you can just do that on from tv.
Yeah, it was a children's television show. You could write in and they would match you with a pen pal.
Man, that feels creepy in today's world.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
But I mean, it was. Yeah, no back Young girl on young girl.
Eddie
See, that sounds great.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I know we're running.
Anyway, they would write about their lives. School, eventually marriage, raising children. Debbie and her two daughters traveled to London and the pen pals met for the first time.
That's cool. And it turns out she was a woman.
No, she was that they were the same age. Yes.
That happened today. And some kid was like, I want to pimp out. I'll be like a 47 year old dude named Chuck who was lying to be a kid. We'd be like, oh, can you believe it? People are weird.
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. That's today though. Not back in the summer?
Bobby Bones
No, back then my times were good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. I like it. That's fun. It's fun to actually also to like go to London. That's cool too.
Yeah. Experience it with your daughters.
Eddie
I wonder too, if they clicked or was it awkward for a little bit? Like, we only know each other from the pen.
Bobby Bones
They embraced with their first hugger hug. And then they toured London landmarks together and shared old photos and letters.
Even if you're like 500 years old in the last 10 years, you can do it on social media, even Facebook.
Eddie
True.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if they ever moved to Facebook and then decided we'd meet.
Yeah, I'm just transitioned.
Eddie
It didn't stay the letters.
Bobby Bones
That's my point. All right, there we go. Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good bones. You ever drive and you see one of those little carnivals pop up?
Yeah.
And you're like, man, you're like, that would be fun, but also. That'd be dangerous. But that'd be fun, but that'd be dangerous. So do you know what the zipper is the ride?
Is it the one that's like, you're. There's one on your. One on top, one on bottom, and it like slings back and forth.
It doesn't sling. That's just called the slinger.
Oh, this. Around, around, around.
Like a Ferris wheel. Goes like up, up and down, circle. Yeah.
Eddie
You're like in a two person in a box.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Two person cage. And it goes around and it also swings and the freaking thing breaks.
Oh.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Okay. This is from ABC7LA. Listen to this. Clip alarming new video of a ride that malfunctioned at a school carnival last night in the Pico Union neighborhood. You can see some of the carriages nearly fully detaching, falling, and slamming into another on a ride commonly known as the Zipper. One witness commented some of the riders were trapped for up to an hour, but somehow, after seeing that video, no injuries have been reported.
Yeah. Except for, like, emotional and mental.
Yeah. The trauma of never being able to ride a ride again. Yeah. I think as I've gotten more mature and become more of an. An intelligent adult in a lot of ways, the less I've wanted to be on these rides at carnivals.
Yeah.
Because those things are mobile. I like my rides to be in a dedicated space where they've done tests for years, and for years in that dedicated space, people have ridden them, you know?
Yeah, I know. But there's always that chance.
Yes, but there's more of a chance whenever you put the ride up for three days.
Yeah.
And you got to rebuild it with somebody who probably only works there part time, who's doing the rebuilding and the writing. One of my favorite things on TikTok, though, is watching people when they get on those slingshot rides you're talking about. There's a camera with the guy who slings them up or drops them down, and he says stuff like, oh, man, it looks like your seat belt's not.
Boom.
And he shoots him off.
No way.
So funny. Those are funny because he's just messing with people. And so there'll be two people on. And they put that chest bar down on them. And he's like, okay, before we get started, something is wrong with your bar. And she's like, yeah. He goes, yeah, I don't know. And then he hits the button. I watch those all day.
I don't like that.
Those. Yeah, those will come across my algorithm. And if you watch one, you get like, nine. And then they want to see if you're really dedicated. And I'll watch them because they're quick. I love a good. Tricking people into thinking they're gonna die. That's a good. Those are. Those are fun. What's your algorithm right now?
I mean, I don't know. Mine's kind of all over the place. I feel like it. Con. What? Something that's consistent is the add stuff, which makes sense all over the place. Maybe that's why. All over the place. But then also, I have adhd. Con content. But I did see the. One of the head guys that runs Instagram. He said they're not listening to us. Us.
Eddie
Okay. Okay. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's the one person I want to not listen to is the person who's listening to us. Oh, of course they have to lie.
I didn't feel like he was lying. I felt like, oh, wow. But then I'm like, well, how in the world do I say one thing and then the ick. I get an Instagram ad for it? I mean, explain that one.
So here's mine. I got Arkansas Razorback, a girl talking about Bobby Petrino. Okay. That's one Their football. We have a new coach. Another one is. I follow a couple news people. Here's Paul George, basketball player. It's a lot of sports. How to get trending more every month.
I tell my clients.
And then 90s wrestling. Those are. Those are my four things.
Eddie
That's all you?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What's yours?
That makes sense.
Eddie
Dallas Cowboys. Bobby Lee. Oh, Keith Urban.
Bobby Bones
Oh, oh.
Eddie
Either. I'm just popped up. Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, Dallas Cowboys.
Bobby Bones
What is yours?
Lunchbox
Good question, man. I got some of Morgan. Morgan seems to pop up on mine. Well, like, whenever she posts her.
Bobby Bones
That's because you follow.
No, he didn't follow anybody on Tick Tock.
Lunchbox
No, I don't Tick Tock. I don't even really. I mean, I don't follow anybody. I think it's because we've collabed on a couple dance videos back in the day. So every time I open TikTok, I.
Bobby Bones
Know you're a fan of Morgan. It's like.
Lunchbox
It's like I'm the biggest fan of Morgan because I get every video Morgan posted of her cooking, her getting a snack. What else did you do?
Bobby Bones
You.
Lunchbox
I don't know what else she's been doing, but her and her boyfriend sitting there doing a podcast, so not talk about that again.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, don't ride rice. I think that's the moral of the story here. Don't ride rides that aren't permanently fixed to a place. That's what I would say. Everybody lived on the zipper. It's all good. But if you watch the video, we'll post it up on our socials. The thing breaks.
I don't want to.
Eddie
I don't want to watch.
Bobby Bones
That freaks me.
Because nobody dies. It's easier to watch. Okay, so we'll post it up. You guys can see it. Hey, it's Bobby from the Bobby Bones Show. I had an incredible time at this year's iHeartRadio music festival and even got the chance to hang out with Diplo and Bailey Zimmerman while I was there. Check this Out. So how did Ashes come together, Diplo?
Diplo
Well, I kind of briefly met Bailey, I think at Morgan's show, one of them. And I think he's just the guy in Nashville. He's cool as hell. And I had a new kind of sound I wanted to do, and I think he's the one guy that could carry it. And I came to his house, I had a show. I pulled up real quick. He was about to leave on tour. You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we had like three hours play the record for him. We kind of, like got a scratch, and then he handled it on his own on the road.
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah, it was really cool. He really just, like, randomly showed up to my house, and I'm like, oh, hey, Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay. And then now we're here playing it live.
Bobby Bones
You can listen to the full episode out now, wherever you get your podcast. And big shout out to my friends at Hyundai for making this possible. Had a blast cruising around festival weekend in the all new Palisade hybrid.
Matt
Hey, guys, it's Matt and Leah from the Grown Up Stuff podcast.
Leah
Matt, what even is this weather?
Matt
I know. I think it was sunny and snowing at the same time yesterday.
Leah
It's crazy. I have to keep my sunglasses and my snow boots in my car at all times, but you know how I make sure my car can handle it all?
Matt
Snow boots for your car?
Bobby Bones
Sort of.
Leah
But no. I make sure my oil change technician goes with Pennzoil Platinum, full synthetic motor oil, which maximizes engine protection. And my engine needs Pennzoil Platinum to keep the adventures going through all the seasons, even if they're happening in the same day. Ask for Pennzoil Platinum at Firestone Complete Auto Care Pennzoil. Long may we drive.
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
So Abby saw somebody shoplifting. Abby, walk us through what you saw.
Abby
Okay, I was at a gas station and I was kind of on a mission. So I was walking really fast and I went to the very back kind of the corner, one of the refrigerators and there was this guy and he was like stuffing his pants. Like he had baggy shirt on, baggy pants and he had like two beer tall boys, candy chips. And I was like oh my gosh, they were jeans. They were just huge baggy jeans. He was trying to keep up and I was like oh shoot. I like panicked. I'm like oh my gosh. I hey. Because he was like hey, how's it going? I'M like, he saw.
Bobby Bones
He saw you see him. Oh, for sure that you saw.
Abby
Okay, yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I. I saw it all, and I was like, oh, man, I don't know what to do. And so I went up to the counter to buy my.
Bobby Bones
Heck, no. I'm staying away from the counter because I don't want him to think I'm ratting him out.
Abby
Well, but in that your mind.
Bobby Bones
My mind doesn't go there.
That's right. I go. I go.
So what do you do then?
I leave. I put my stuff down, and I.
Eddie
Leave like I saw nothing.
Bobby Bones
Abby, don't say nothing. Don't say what you did yet, then. Okay, so, Amy, what do you do? Exact situation. He sees you see him.
Yeah. I put down whatever I have, and I just leave. I leave. I don't want to be.
What if you needed funions?
Eddie
Right?
Bobby Bones
I don't need them that bad. What if he's armed and dangerous? He's already not making good decisions.
Eddie
Armed and dangerous?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Stealing tall boys?
Yeah.
He could already be drunk, have room for a gun. He saved all that space for the.
He's not making good decisions already, and I don't want to be a part of what could be next.
Okay, so Amy says she sees him see her.
I'm for sure not going to the counter because then he thinks I'm ratting him out.
Okay. Eddie, what do you do?
Eddie
I think I'm gonna get my phone out and video it.
Bobby Bones
What? He may see you video?
Yeah. Now he's for sure gonna be literally.
Eddie
Get behind the chips and be like, I want to film this.
Bobby Bones
No way.
No way. I wouldn't do that.
Eddie
You wouldn't?
Bobby Bones
No, because there's danger if he sees you doing that. He may attack you. Oh, lunchbox. What'd you do? Easy.
Lunchbox
I just look at him like, hey, man, I'm not gonna tell. You're good.
Bobby Bones
You say something?
Lunchbox
Yeah, because he knows you saw. Like, he's looking at you, and you can feel him knowing that you saw him. Just be like, I don't care. Today, mine. You take what you want.
Bobby Bones
I don't think I would speak because I wouldn't want, like, the gas station register guy hearing me speak, because then he thinks I'm an accomplice.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And he's like, somebody was with him. They were talking about it. He helped him get out of there. So I don't think. I think I'm just moving my eyes off and acting like I saw nothing. I don't think I'm gonna Go up to the counter and be like, hey, this guy's stealing.
Eddie
Yeah. What are they gonna do?
Bobby Bones
We'll stop him. They won't stop at a gas station.
Eddie
Don't they have a button that they hit? The. The.
Bobby Bones
I think that's the panning button if you're getting robbed. I don't think it's for the poor. The cowboys.
Eddie
It's not for someone stealing beer.
Bobby Bones
I just feel like. Yeah, if I was working at a gas station and somebody was like, I'd be like. Like, above my pay grade.
A lot of people that work at gas stations own the gas station, though. These are small gas stations. It's not a Walmart where you don't.
True.
Well, not all, but a significant amount of people are part of the ownership.
I try to.
Managing.
Take inventory of what they're stealing and then call it a loss.
Abby, what'd you do?
Abby
So I walked up to the counter, I put my drink down, and I almost, like. I almost was like, hey, that guy back there.
Bobby Bones
You can't do almost. You can't do.
Eddie
But I did it.
Abby
So as I was paying, the guy walked out. I distracted the.
Bobby Bones
The.
Abby
The cashier while the guy walked out with all his.
Bobby Bones
You helped him.
Lunchbox
Good job.
Abby
I didn't mean to, but that's just what happened.
Bobby Bones
A version I did. She's doing, like, ballet kicks to the left so the guy looks at her so the guy can sneak out.
Abby
No, that guy used me, though, which I didn't like that. And then I thought about being like.
Bobby Bones
Hey, do you see that guy right there?
Abby
He's walking.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but you can't do. I thought about. Because you also could say I thought about tackling him and saving the gas station.
Eddie
That's different, though. If he's already out the door, why not tell the cashier at that point?
Bobby Bones
Point.
Eddie
That's like he's already gone.
Bobby Bones
That's a good point.
I feel safer about that.
Eddie
I would probably do that.
Bobby Bones
I almost did this. Stop it, Abby.
Abby
There were a lot of thoughts in my head in that moment, but I guess the right thing. Yeah. You tell them after they leave.
Bobby Bones
I don't know there's the right thing. I don't know There's a moral obligation there, because I also don't want to get jumped. See?
Eddie
Yeah. And we really don't know how we would react until we're in that moment.
Bobby Bones
I do. I know exactly how I'd react.
Okay, go for it.
I told you, I'm leaving. I'm out of there.
All right, you got a Little drama at the hotel lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Oh, Yeah. I mean, two nights in a row. I mean, one was like, 12:30am the next night, maybe 1:15am the room next to us had a little yapper, and it decides to yap in the middle of the night.
Bobby Bones
I dog. And you recorded this with your phone. That's through a wall.
Lunchbox
That's through a wall. And so I called the front desk. I was like, hey, man, there's a dog barking. Of course I went back to bed. I don't know what happened. But when I'm checking out, I finally said, hey, like, you know, with that dog barking, you know, do I get some kind of discount? And the. The person working the front's like, I. I don't know. I'd have to talk to the manager, and they're not here right now, but I can take down your information and he'll reach out. So tell me when you hear that. And it wakes me up. Two nights in a row. What kind of discount should I be given?
Bobby Bones
Well, none after the fact, I think when you call and you say this is happening and it won't stop, can you move me rooms? Like, that's the first thing, and that sucks. But you have two sucks. You either got a dog yapping or you got to move your room. At least if you move your room, the dog doesn't yap anymore. And it's temporary. You got it for two nights. You can even do it after the first night night. And you're like, hey, the dog barked all night last night. If I'm with them, I need. I need to have a different room. If they can't meet that, then I think you discuss with them, hey, I'm gonna need a discount on my rate that I'm about to pay. You can't do it at the end. They have no reason. I know. To be like, yeah, we're gonna give you a discount. Not when it's over. So I think you didn't go to it at the right time. So none. I'm gonna go none after the fact. Did you play your audio from your phone?
Eddie
Oh, yeah. You have audio.
Bobby Bones
So lo.
There you go.
That's terrible.
Oh, yeah. No, it's so annoying. But it's like a loud. If people are, like, watching TV loud, or if they're, like, doing it, you know, you bang on the wall or you call and you're like, hey, I can't get any sleep. And they're like, hey, we'll move you a room. If they can't do that, then they should just make the stay cheaper. But you can't go after the fact and ask for it.
Eddie
Stay cheaper or free night. Well, see, I think it's free night.
Bobby Bones
But you don't get it at the end is my point. If you don't ask for it while it's happening, they're not going to give it to you. You've already stayed. They have no reason. And no, why would they give you a discount after it's over?
Eddie
You have to do it while the dog's yapping and be like, look, there's a dog next door that won't stop barking and we need to do something or I need a free night.
Bobby Bones
You, I mean, I, I'm, I'm playing the audio. I, I guess, I suppose multiple people on that floor would be really bothered. They can't give a free night to everybody.
How do we know anybody else called and does anybody else work for radio show and they look for bits. Oh, they record stuff.
I mean, gosh, how is the person with the dog even sleeping?
Lunchbox
I mean, I don't even know if the person that was in the room.
Bobby Bones
Like, oh, that's funny. If it was the dog's room.
They didn't even, they got a room for the dog.
Lunchbox
I mean, they could have been out doing something in the middle of the night. I have no idea. I just heard the dog barking. I had to call the front desk and say, hey, this dog is yapping. And they're like, well, send someone up to check. But then I go back to bed. So I don't know if they knocked on the door or what they did. So I asked for the discount and the manager has reached out to me.
Bobby Bones
Okay, and with what discount?
Lunchbox
The manager emailed me to my email and said, I am sorry about the inconvenience of the dog. If you would have told us earlier, we could have moved you rooms. But there's unfortunately nothing we can do at this time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Oh, that's.
Eddie
There we go.
Lunchbox
Thanks a lot, man.
Eddie
But you also messed up too, because you're like, I went back to bed, I don't know what happened. So you could sleep, no problem.
Bobby Bones
Then I had a second night of it.
Eddie
Like, yeah, like you gotta complain.
Bobby Bones
Like, night two is on you.
Lunchbox
How is it on me? How do I know that the dog's staying there two nights? I mean, the dog could have been, I, I don't know. I go to bed and all of a sudden I wake up at 1:30 in the morning or whatever and it's like, oh dang, Dog's still here.
Bobby Bones
Like you're. You consider yourself an Alpha male, right?
Lunchbox
I am an alpha.
Bobby Bones
Why didn't you go knock on the door and tell them to shut their dog up? There was gonna be trouble.
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, I ain't. I mean, and then I had to get dressed.
Bobby Bones
We have an ABEDA weekend.
No, you don't care about that kind of thing.
Yeah, not you. You're alpha.
Lunchbox
I don't know who show up, Amy. I don't know who's in that room. So if I knock, alphas don't care.
Bobby Bones
Alpha's Alpha.
Lunchbox
If there's a child in that room and I knock on the door naked, guess who gets in trouble.
Bobby Bones
Well, not naked, but put shorts.
Eddie
What are you talking about?
Bobby Bones
Or a robe or a towel.
You don't have to walk out butt naked, straight child.
Lunchbox
I said I would have to get dressed and you guys go, why?
Bobby Bones
Well, it never occurred to you you'll.
Have to put on a suit and tie? All right.
It didn't occur to us that would like show up naked and then there might be a child. That's not where my brain went. Our brains were just thinking like normally you take care of business.
Yeah, like you, you say you take care of business because you're alpha male.
Lunchbox
I am an alpha. And it was just, it was unfortunate that this dog was annoying as crap and I thought they would take care of it and they really just shot me down. Nothing. Oh, sorry for the inconvenience.
Bobby Bones
What? I think we learned something here though. You have to ask while it's happening because they have no reason to credit you anything after the fact. If you're not like a massive rewards member and someone who can prove that that by you switching, it's going to affect in even a minor part of their bottom line. Okay, Alpha.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I mean I'm. I. I didn't want to complain that much about because I didn't want to move in the middle of the night. Then I got to pack up my suitcase.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but what's worse, because you're in an unfortunate situation. So you can have all the unfortunate of you not being able to sleep because the dog's barking or you can have some mid unfortunate and go to a different room, leave all your stuff in that room, sleep and just come back and move it in the morning.
Lunchbox
Well, I didn't think about that and that have been smart.
Bobby Bones
Some people are saying online your beta box. Is that true?
Lunchbox
No, I am alpha like you guys have.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Beta box is trending now, beta box is now trending all across America. Beta box? Yeah.
Lunchbox
You guys have seen me in situations. I handle things.
Bobby Bones
No, remember when the guy came crashing into his neighborhood and, like, ran over the cone? Oh. But his neighbor, though, when the kids and lunchbox. Like, I recorded us going and beating up this drunk guy, and it's his neighbor doing all the fighting, and he was alpha. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Well, he said.
Lunchbox
That'S not how it went.
Bobby Bones
Okay, fair enough. It's time for the good news with Bobby. So deputies pulled over this guy. His plates didn't match his vehicle. Obviously he was doing something, so they called in. The plates are like, that. That ain't right. So the guy was using fake plates. They put him under arrest. And that is not the good part of the story. The person that got arrested was an UberEats driver and had food. And so the cops got the address and took it to them.
Eddie
That's always so cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they. I'm gonna tell you, though, if two cops came to my door and knocked. Because I watched the. The cam footage of this, like, from the ring cam. If two cops came to my door knocking, I'm like, what has happened? I'm scared.
Yeah, you would think something's wrong.
I may not be hungry anymore. I'm so scared. It's taking the hunger away. I was waiting for my UberEats, but, yeah, it was really cool. So Mark Herman shared photos and video of them bringing the food to the surprise customer. Boy, the real change would be they get there, knock on the door, open it up, they arrest that person because they were, like, running from the law. Oh, tell me that wouldn't be awesome.
That. Yeah.
Eddie
So what happens to the food, though?
Bobby Bones
I mean, like, what are the odds?
Well, since we're making this up, they then take it to a homeless shelter.
Eddie
Feed the homeless.
Bobby Bones
Homeless afterwards. Yeah.
I mean, I'm just thinking, like, cops must be like, hey, this food's being delivered to Bobby Bones. We've been looking for this guy, and now we've got him. It's sort of like when drug dealers accidentally text. Like, a cop.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Got the weed. It's like, what are the odds? And then they go bust them.
What are the odds? All right, that's in the New York Post. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning, trying to put you through. M Riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on The mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby v. All right, 90 seconds on the clock. How many of Amy's corny jokes can we get? Right, Ready, ready, ready. Here we go.
Lunchbox
The morning corny.
Bobby Bones
Why did Poon.
Can'T even say Putin. Don't start the timer yet.

Bobby Bones

Lunchbox
You didn't say raw, But I think.
Bobby Bones
He was just going raw.
And then you got stealing someone's coffee. Mugging.
Eddie
Okay, that's four.
Bobby Bones
And then you almost got.
Oh, we didn't get a synonym button. We never know. We didn't even almost get that one.
You would have, though.
Eddie
No, I would have never gotten cinnamon.
Bobby Bones
We know our limits.
Y' all should be in a better mood because you got four.
Yeah, yeah. No, but we know our limits. We wouldn't get.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but don't give us pity and say we almost got something when we would have never got it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we. We're. We have a lot of integrity with this game.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
All right, we got four. Hit it, Bobby. Bone show. Bonehead.
Lunchbox
Glory of the day. This story comes to us from Saginaw, Michigan. There was a man at a bar. It's about 2am he's closing his tab, and he thinks he's been overcharged by 50 cents. So he starts arguing with the bartender, saying, that is 50 cents too much. You are trying to rip me off for 50 cents. And the bartender's like, that's your tab, man. I need you to pay it. So the guy pulled out a gun and shot right by the bartender's head.
Bobby Bones
It's about principle, though, right? The principle of 50 cents more than the actual 50 cents. He shouldn't have shot at him. Let's all say that. But it wasn't about the 50 cents. Right. It was about the guy probably getting one over on him. That's what I would think.
Eddie
I mean, I wouldn't even notice 50 cents, to be honest.
Bobby Bones
Not about the actual 2 quarter. You can't be shooting at people. So that's why he's the bonehead. Luckily, he didn't shoot the person. But it's like people. People that get into a fight over a parking spot, and somebody ends up getting hurt bad or dying. It wasn't really about the spot. It was about the disrespect or the cutting off that triggered the person.
Right.
So not justice for this guy. Not at all. I'm not saying that. I don't want to be misconstrued as that, but I don't think it was about 50 cents. I think it's about somebody screwing somebody else over. But nobody got shot, right?
Lunchbox
No, no one got shot. He just shot past his head and hit some liquor bottles on the wall.
Eddie
Oh, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
Listen. Yeah, that is kind of cool in movies when they just shoot off the.
Eddie
Bottles when the bottles break.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's pretty cool. I'm not a big guy where everybody should have guns without permits. Like, I have guns. I think you should have the license to have a gun. I also think even in license plates, places where you should have a gun in public. You shouldn't have them in bars.
No.
Eddie
Good call.
Bobby Bones
That's a different level when you're drinking. Yes.
If this guy has one, he loses it.
Yeah. Okay. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.
