[Amy]

Good job, dude.

[Lunchbox]

I'm glad you know Hannah Montana, because I didn't know that one.

[Lunchbox]

What was the 10th one?

[Raymundo]

It is in the Growing Pains theme, the singer asked them, show them that smile again and not waste another minute on what?

[Lunchbox]

Show them the smile again. Show me that smile. Don't waste another minute on your crying. Correct.

[Amy]

Wow. Good job, dude.

[Lunchbox]

Post Malone has a stalker. And Post Malone stalker has been arrested for the fifth time. It is a woman. Her name is Cherish Gorner. And this time she was taken into custody because she jumped in front of Post Malone's car as he was trying to leave his home. His driver had to swerve to avoid hitting her. So a couple things are weird here. One, just the general idea of having a stalker. Two, she knows where he lives. And three, she knows where he lives and is waiting outside of his house for him.

[Bobby Bones]

And, like, being arrested already hasn't deterred her. So, like, what needs to happen next?

[Lunchbox]

I wonder if this is the first time. Mike, do you know much about this story? I don't think it's the first time it's happened. No, I mean, first time she was arrested and taken in. Arrested? I believe so, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Lunchbox]

Cuz I know she's been charged, but this is the first time I believe she's been arrested.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, we need to scare her straight while she's in there.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think she's able to be scared straight because she believes she has a spiritual connection with the singer and is, quote, entitled to be near him.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, that's a problem.

[Lunchbox]

It's her fifth time that she's been charged with trespassing, stalking, even intoxication. At his raising Cane's restaurant. The latest arrest comes with felony charges for stalking and violating a court order. The stalker is now being held to that bail. That's from the Boot. So you could go, ah, just some crazy woman. He's fine. The problem is with crazy people, they can go next level very quickly. And this turns into one of those, well, if I can't have you, no one else will type situations where then you kill them. And that is not out of the realm of possibility in a situation like this. It's five times. She knows where he lives. She tried to stop his car. And probably. What? She can do anything bad to him, right? Then probably. No. She thinks he's. He's her boyfriend.

[Bobby Bones]

She has a spiritual connection.

[Lunchbox]

Absolutely. You don't kill that person until you absolutely know you can't have them.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

And then you kill them so nobody else can.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's justifiable.

[Lunchbox]

There's another one, and this one's creepy in a different way. And I do like Selena Gomez and I like Benny Blanco, and I think they've been kind of cute together. Although it starts to border on, okay, you're pushing this, but here's one. Benny Blanco admits that when Selena Gomez is away, he likes to spray her perfume on him to remind him of her.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, this tracks. Benny wakes up every day and says to himself, how can I make Selena's day better?

[Lunchbox]

Like, can I give a theory to this?

[Bobby Bones]

He loves her.

[Lunchbox]

That I don't think he really does this. There are two things here. This is from People magazine. One, I think, like, this plays whenever he does over the top stuff. This plays in many ways for her, for him, for them. It gets a lot of hits. And then two, the perfume he's spraying on himself is her perfume. Like, it's not just her perfume that she owns, it's her raw, like, rare beauty perfume. So I think part of the angle.

[Bobby Bones]

There, too, advertising the world.

[Lunchbox]

Amy doesn't like this, but the world is wrestling entertainment.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, one big act.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, the world is wrestling. The world is a stage. So as funny as that is, and as weird as it, I don't think that's really what's happening. I think he's probably making it up. Or two, if he posts videos of him doing it, it's with her perfume and it's selling her perfume.

[Bobby Bones]

Genius.

[Lunchbox]

The world's a wrestling ring. Finally, Mr. Beast credits his poor mental health for success. Hey, I feel seen.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I feel bad laughing at this.

[Lunchbox]

I've never felt more seen in my life. Mr. Beast, the biggest YouTuber on the planet. But while he was chatting on Lewis Howell's the School of Greatness podcast, he dropped a bomb that shocked the host. Quote, if my mental health was better, I wouldn't be as successful as I am. I feel that to do anything great, it doesn't have to even be in a professional space, a parent working at a bank, a runner, whatever. To do anything great, it takes a lot of sacrifice, and you're going to miss out on other parts of your life. And when you're missing out on other parts of your life, because the sacrifice of your mental health is never great, it can be pretty good at best. But it's hard to be even great at balance, because if you're balanced, you're putting work into. It's not just being even, you're putting equal amount of work in making sure you don't put too much work somewhere. If you have to declare, I want to be balanced, that means you are imbalanced and you have to work extra to fix that imbalance. So even being balanced is really hard. So I understand and I feel you, Mr. Beast, but for anyone that wants to be great at anything, it takes a lot of sacrifice. And a lot of sacrifice means you don't get to do other things that normal people get to do, and that affects your mental health. But even to be balanced, so.

[Bobby Bones]

But. But which came first, like chicken or the egg? Like, you know, because you're saying, like, you're putting it into it, so that impacts your mental health.

[Lunchbox]

Great question. I think to be driven, there's got to be something broken that's driving people that are crazily driven, that's abnormal, and something is broken in order to push that abnormal drive. Because why would that drive even exist if something wasn't motivating it? And so it's like, why a lot of presidents, you know, have, like, single moms or there was a version where their dads weren't like, there's a lot of that and it's proving, okay, well, I'll show him. Like, that's been a very familiar over and over pattern.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, that's kind of crazy. If they're like, I'm gonna show my dad and I'm gonna become president. And then they actually do a few have.

[Lunchbox]

Some have.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the leader of the.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you, Mr. Beast, for speaking out for all of us mentally unstables.

[Raymundo]

Right now, I'VE got a temporary gig that pays the bills, but I just got a full time offer with great pay, Almost double what I'm making now. The problem is that it's four hours away from my girlfriend. We've been together since high school. I really do see a future with her. But she can't move because she's helping her parents out. Do I hold off for something closer or take a job and risk losing the person I love? Signed job offer or love of my life? It doesn't have to be either one of those. I mean, if you take the job, it doesn't mean you have to lose her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And you can still be together if you're gone, but she can't go.

[Amy]

So you're kind of risking. You're risking it.

[Bobby Bones]

Why? I want to know how long does she have to help out her parents?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. You don't have to hold out for something closer. You can take the job and you don't have to risk losing the person you love because you can still be with that person you love if you take a job four hours away. This is only a season. You're 23. This is a season in life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Thank you for reminding me. He's only 23.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. If you were 38, different story. You're 23, you can do a couple years with a four hour distance. Our boy Reed did that forever. His wife now went to med school and he lived here and she was down in Louisiana. And they made it work knowing at the end they were going to be back together again. So you do not have to hold out for something closer. This is a great job. Go take it and get started on you guys future together. You take that job now you're getting started on your future together because you start saving up some money. Boom. Get you a house. Boom. Get you a kid with her. Hopefully later, but then you have a little money in your pocket. So let her take care of her parents and you guys formulate a plan. The plan is either a she eventually moves to be with you or you go and do that job for a year or two years and then use that job to get a job back nearer to where you are now. It doesn't have to be only one of those two options. So open up your mind a little bit. It doesn't have to be that, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Take the job, Bam.

[Lunchbox]

And keep her and you can do both. It'll be a little difficult, but that's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Hopefully she's cool with that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, good things are difficult because good things take work and work is difficult. And so I'm not talking about your job, talking about your relationship. So yeah, don't give up the job, but don't. But don't give up the girl.

[Amy]

We're going to need an update on this.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know, cuz I.

[Lunchbox]

What, two years? Yeah, we won't be here in two years.

[Bobby Bones]

Or at least when he has the conversation because Sophie's like, I'm taking the job. And she's like, well, that doesn't work for me, so I'm breaking up with you.

[Lunchbox]

Then you take the job and then, you know, then you just take the job because I. All right, there you go. Thank you everybody. Close it up.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Bobby Bones]

Okay ladies, when I said we came.

[Lunchbox]

To play, didn't I mean it?

[Bobby Bones]

This Disney cruise got me feeling like a queen.

[Lunchbox]

We can get massages at Sense's Spa.

[Bobby Bones]

Have a meet and greet with Black Panther. Ooh, I love him. And I can't wait to sunbathe on the private island. And the kids will be fine. Girl, they're good. Exactly. While they hang in the kids club.

[Eddie]

With Mickey Mouse, we can do our.

[Bobby Bones]

Thing and do it well all day.

[Eddie]

Disney Cruise Line is where we came to play.

[Lunchbox]

Start up a hornet's nest. Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

What? I did. Yeah, I did.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[Lunchbox]

Would you have voicemail number four? So I just wanted to call in on the segment about Amy being a real hater on WWE wrestling. So the split ratio is 60 men, 40 women, and they're not just rubbing oil all over themselves and going in the ring. It's an art form. Stop sipping the haterade and let's start considering it as art. Thanks. That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

So now it's art.

[Lunchbox]

It is for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Art.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. If acting's art.

[Bobby Bones]

Performance. You're right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Do you think Cirque d' Estelle is art?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Do you think acting in a Marvel movie's art? It's a mixture of those two things.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're right. Okay. I get it. I'll give you that. It's art.

[Lunchbox]

I've been thinking about something.

[Bobby Bones]

What is art?

[Lunchbox]

I've been thinking about this in that we were gonna do the Wheel of Mild Punishment.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I. I'm just gonna do the punishment now. No need to spin the wheel. What is it because you've been such a hater. It's actually really good. No, I enjoyed it so much. You're gonna watch on Netflix Unreal, which is a docu series. It's five episodes. Episodes aren't that long. You have a week. You have. I'll give you a week and a few days. So not Monday coming up, but the next Monday. You have eight days, nine days to watch WWE Unreal. And it's a docu series about how they write the storylines on the athletes, the wrestlers. And you come back and give me a review of the show and see if you understand WWE a little better.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. This is better than I thought. I thought you were about to make me go to some local wrestling show.

[Lunchbox]

No, I don't know they have any of those. But I think you'll like this more and I think you'll have an appreciation for it. Like, there's one. I don't want to give too much of it away, but it's a certain wrestler that once they got in and started to be pretty good, they broke their arm, came back, broke their arm again.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, they really broke it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yes, yes, they really broke it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And then see if you can have a favorite wrestler, because I have like my all time favorite wrestler, which is Sting.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he's still.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. He's older now, but he wrestles in a different organization.

[Bobby Bones]

Geriatric.

[Lunchbox]

He still Wrestles. He's still a part of it.

[Bobby Bones]

The Gwe Grandpa.

[Amy]

Still hating.

[Lunchbox]

And he wears face paint, so he doesn't look much older. And then I have.

[Bobby Bones]

What about his body, though?

[Lunchbox]

Well, he wears, like, big stuff mostly.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then I have my favorite, like now, which is probably like, CM Punk.

[Bobby Bones]

CM Punk? Yeah, like the letter cm. I just want to know the name so I know who to look for. Yeah. Okay. CM Punk. Now is the Unreal. Does that showcase men and women, both wrestlers. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Both heavily.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't know who's in? Me. I just have to pick a favorite.

[Lunchbox]

I just. I just want you to watch it and come away with thoughts.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And you have plenty of time. This is your will of mild punishment. No will. I'm just going to assign the punishment. But it's a great punishment. I love it. It's one of the best docu series I've seen in a while.

[Bobby Bones]

How many episodes? Five.

[Lunchbox]

Five.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Would you play voicemail number one? I think Amy should be assigned the homework of watching the movie, fighting with my family and report back what she's learned. I think she would like it and would have a better appreciation for wrestling. The WWE always gives back to the community wherever they are. They always reach out to the Boys and Girls Club Special Olympics. They do a great job. So it's important to spread that word too. All right. Thank you. Love the show. Do you hate Special Olympics?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

No. So what's. What is it called?

[Lunchbox]

Don't worry about the movie yet. Just watch Unreal. But that's a movie and it is with actors, but it's based on the life of a very famous female wrestler.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. No, I love that they give back in that way to kids that are the kids that.

[Lunchbox]

It's always going to be about kids. It's always got to be kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I do think that's your attraction as an adult is. Because when you were a kid.

[Lunchbox]

Tell me why I'm attracted to men with tights. Okay. I have my own reason to be attracted to men and tights.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of people, if this is something they enjoyed as a kid, they.

[Lunchbox]

So you're saying there are no adults that get into wrestling as an adult?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Maybe that will be me after I watch Unreal.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. So you've been assigned that. I'll check back a week from Monday. Deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. But I will put a spread this, like, call in if you became a fan of wrestling as an adult.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Whatever. What are you trying to prove?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'M no, I'm not proving anything. I'm curious. I'm curious if. If you never were exposed to it as a kid and then you went to something as an adult or watched something as an adult and you're like, okay, I get it. I'm into it. And again, that could be.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, the points are blowing up. Wow, they're blowing up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Right?

[Lunchbox]

It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a woman that lives in Southern Maryland, and she won the lottery. Lottery because of her late father. Yeah. He died, but she decided to enter in his death date.

[Lunchbox]

That's a weird thing. I think I'd have gone with birthday, maybe anniversary.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She just felt like, I think I need to do the death date. And she plays the lottery every day. And something about it was like, yeah, I'm gonna do this pick five. I'm gonna use the. The day he died. And it was a $1 bet and she won $50,000.

[Amy]

Hey, should we all try that?

[Lunchbox]

But whose death date? Our parent, Anyone?

[Amy]

Any parent.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, what if we all hit the lottery?

[Amy]

Then this is a real deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I get to enter twice.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I can do my mom. I can do it before my dad left.

[Amy]

Oh, you remember that day?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I can do it every year when I was five.

[Amy]

It's a lot of lottery tickets.

[Lunchbox]

I don't hate the bit. I don't hate the bit.

[Amy]

Let's try it.

[Lunchbox]

We all put in the dead death dates of our parents.

[Bobby Bones]

Death date. Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I guess dead death date feels a little too dark. Yeah, but that's why she hit 50 grand.

[Amy]

Crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

But how do you. So it's a pick five. Her date must have been because, like mine, my mom's death date I think is too many numbers.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know why we do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Because she died in October, so that's 10.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then she died on the 27th, so that's four more. And then it was year 2014.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you just won the Mega Millions with all six numbers.

[Amy]

Wow. Oh, those are six numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

So I can do six. So I can do 10. 27, 14. All right.

[Amy]

Yeah, we gotta try this.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay, let's all my dad could be pick five. He's April Fool's Day. Four.

[Lunchbox]

One. Oh, our dead parents. What a bit.

[Amy]

This has turned weird.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good story, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good story.

[Lunchbox]

She hit the money because of it. And we are too. How funny would it be if we all won or one of us Won in lunchbox. Didn't win because apparent didn't. Oh, my God. That's why he didn't win. I'd be so mad if my parents didn't die. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. So there was a wedding, and the mother in law, I guess, about to be mother in law shows up, and she has Tupperware and she has cake in the Tupperware because she didn't like the original cake. So she brought cake and Tupperware. And then later on in the wedding, she got on the microphone and she was like, hey, if you don't like the original cake, I brought other cake in the Tupperware.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

So when I hear this story, I think she had to know what she was marrying into the bride. Like, that mother in law doesn't just do that. Day of. I'm not saying it's not difficult or it's not annoying, but that mother in law doesn't show up and go all crazy mother in law without there being traces of crazy mother in law to begin with, Right? So as funny as it is, a little bit of that had to be expected, right? And there probably had to be a decision of the mother in law's like, well, I don't like the cake. Can we get a different cake? And I'm like, no, we're gonna get this cake. And then, you know, she's already kind of a crazy mother in law, so it's not super surprising. She did not need to get on the mic though. She didn't need to bring it to begin with. But you know what, if you have a crazy mother in law or crazy friend, they have the right to be a little crazy because they're still in your life while being crazy. But there was no need for her to grab the microphone and declare that she had a different cake. We did make a bet at your wedding. I offered somebody over a thousand bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

To knock it over.

[Lunchbox]

Well, it wasn't knock it over. It was the cake. Really? That wasn't being used?

[Bobby Bones]

No, that cake was the cake. They were gonna come from it. Yes. And it was beautiful.

[Lunchbox]

It was awesome. And I knew no one would do it. I was like, thousand bucks you knocked that cake over?

[Bobby Bones]

No, A friend I grew up with.

[Lunchbox]

Like a 10 foot tall case.

[Bobby Bones]

She became a baker, and that was her wedding gift.

[Lunchbox]

I apologize. I messed up. I shouldn't have done that.

[Bobby Bones]

So, like, in a cake, that's one of the most expensive things you can Buy at the wedding.

[Lunchbox]

And she wouldn't have really had him do it. I wouldn't have had him do it. It was just a joke. I was like, thousand bucks if you knock the cake.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I think she was at the wedding. She probably would have.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think it was knocking over me. I think it was like, face plant inside, like, fall on it.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have harmed y'.

[Lunchbox]

All. Yeah, that really wouldn't happen.

[Amy]

I think I would have done it.

[Lunchbox]

For a thousand bucks. Experts say if you're getting married, it's always important to have the marriage counseling discussion before arguments arise. It can also save you money when you apply for your marriage license. You get a discount, apparently.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

In a study, 80% of married people think premarital counseling helped their marriages. And those that didn't speak to a counselor admitted to struggling and fighting over things that could have been figured out prior from yourtango.com My wife and I started going to marriage counseling right before we got married. But we stayed with it. We go every two weeks like, we're still with it. It's way more maintenance than anything. Obviously, we have the same fights and discussions that any married couple have. I say any. Everybody's a little different based on how you live, where you live, what you do. But ours are very similar to anyone else's. But what it does for us, because I'm a big believer in therapy and counseling anyway, what it does for us, or for me specifically, it teaches me ways to communicate whenever times aren't as easy as when they're just like, life is living free. Like, I have an issue with communicating whenever I'm not right. If everything's normal, I'm great. I'll communicate away. But as soon as something bad happens, I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to go and shut this down on the outside, figure it out on the inside, and then come back with a whole new approach. And my wife will be like, you just had that whole decision discussion within yourself and then came back and you're like, oh, this is what it's going to be now. And you didn't even include me in that. And so I've developed better ways in those scenarios.

[Bobby Bones]

So less shutting down.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And more. And also the ability to have uncomfortable conversations because I never wanted to have them with her. She's great at that. She communicates like a boss. If there's a video game, she's Bowser, final boss of communicating. For me, it was like, ah, I got other things I want to do. And I'll just figure it out. So I'm not going to have the uncomfortable conversation. Personally. Professionally, I don't give a crap. But personally, it was like. But counseling for me has done that. And I think premaritally, what it does too, is they bring up things that you're eventually going to fight over, like fundamental things. And you then have to kind of decide how you feel about things right then instead of later when you're already in the marriage. And they could be so fundamental that they hurt the marriage. Thoughts?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think that you can also. It just sets up a healthy pattern. Like you said, like, y' all are committed for that. And if you can get in early before the marriage, then, you know, hey, we're going to agree if we encounter this. Obviously you don't know what's going to hit you during your marriage at all whatsoever. But if you're both in alignment of like, how are we going to move forward with a plan if X, Y, Z happens when both your. When it happens. Yeah, yeah. It really is not if it's when and then you're both in alignment on how you want to handle it and, and, and bringing in outside help. Are you open to that at all? Because some people just are not. They don't want to involve a third party. It's either the best perspective for you. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They feel like it's embarrassing. Or they grew up like I did. Therapy wasn't around nobody. You went. If you went to therapy, you were crazy. You were like, you went to a shrink. And why would you do that? Are you. Are you insane? But I think with the knowledge of mental health and mental health issues and communicating better to keep your mental health better. I think, you know, there's been a lot of knowledge, a lot of education in that in the past few years.

[Bobby Bones]

My friend told me the other day, and he's like late 30s. He said he didn't start therapy till two years ago. And before that he would have told you, no way. Therapy is a huge waste of my time and I will never do it.

[Lunchbox]

Why did it as a bit the first time for the radio show? Oh, yeah, because all my insurance. And I was like, I'm show them how crazy I am. And I was like, oh, I kind of like that. It was hard, but I kind of like that. So I'm a big recommender of therapy even as you're married. And sometimes we go and I don't even want to go because we have nothing to talk about. I was gonna say fight about, but that's what it feels like if we have nothing to fight about, what even is there to talk about? And so, but we go and we usually there are days we just have good, only talk about good things. And it's like, what do we need to do this? But yeah, it's the maintenance of it that is, that is super important. And that mother in law, like justice for the mother in law a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

She should probably go to therapy.

[Lunchbox]

And she should, that's my point. She should probably go to therapy. Paris Hilton's husband gave her the ultimate birthday gift. A pink and white fully customized private jet. Wow. For her birthday. It even has the phrase that's hot stenciled on the outside.

[Amy]

That's so cool.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. That is really cool. Your birthday present isn't near as cool as Paris Hilton's. I don't care who's listening, me included. That's the coolest birthday present I've ever seen. So Paris's husband, his name's Carter Room, gave her a fully customized Gulfstream G450, nicknamed Sliv Air after her stupid made up word sliving, which is a combination of slaying and living. The jet looks awesome. It's a pink one. I'd like to have the pink jet. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a combination of what?

[Lunchbox]

And living slaying and living sliving. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And that's hot. And then her name is written in her autograph on the back part of it. And I looked it up. The Gulfstream G450 is a popular large cabin private jet. If you were to buy it new, $39 million.

[Amy]

Oh, my goodness. Look at this thing.

[Lunchbox]

That's the craziest birthday present I've ever seen.

[Amy]

She probably already has a jet. Right. So this is another one, you think?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. Probably.

[Amy]

So this is just kind of like now you want to take the pink one or you want to take the other one.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

Or they trade in the other one now. I don't know. I, I don't know. I'm not pocket watching her money. I have no idea. But that's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Your son's birthday is coming up.

[Amy]

Get him one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Did he ask for a jet?

[Bobby Bones]

He did not.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the most expensive thing he asked for were pit vipers.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, sunglasses. Do you have a list?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I have a list. I, I, I. He's not listening to this, so he'll never know, but I ordered him the pit vipers.

[Lunchbox]

You have to whisper to us if he's not listening. He also won't hear if you talk louder.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So for whatever reason, he updated his list, and I got it, and pit vipers were first. So I was like, okay, that's easy. He's better not lose them. Or he said, well, he goes, no, no.

[Lunchbox]

Even adults that are responsible and mature lose sunglasses all the time. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

But then in its second, third, and fourth is Candy. He's just put Milky Way, Reese's, and sneakers. Candy.

[Lunchbox]

Love it.

[Amy]

Love it.

[Lunchbox]

All three of those. That can happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Sneakers, obviously. Mint Snickers. Oh, shoot. Actually, the most expensive thing even on here is Apple Watch. But I'm not getting him that. I'm not getting him that.

[Lunchbox]

You're not getting him that?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

What's the pit vipers cost?

[Bobby Bones]

They're over a hundred dollars. That's like his.

[Lunchbox]

I was comparing them to the Apple watch.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. More.

[Lunchbox]

$400. Is that an Apple Watch? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I believe so. Yeah. I think it depends on which kind you get.

[Lunchbox]

I think the apple is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yes. He also asked for College Bowl. I don't. I don't know what that is. V Bucks. Robux. I know what those are. That's money on his video games. A glowing stainless steel cross necklace, and Armor of God figurine.

[Lunchbox]

Did you get him those?

[Bobby Bones]

I think the. Whisper it. I think Grandma. His. His dad, like, sent it off to his aunt. Grandma and grandpa. They're getting probably the cross.

[Lunchbox]

When's his birthday?

[Bobby Bones]

And the Armor of God. Sunday.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, and Ray, when's your birthday? I got a month. Yeah. Because Ray made a list, too. Yeah. And so far, I got you one thing from the list.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. The Oliver Peoples. Tom Brady's. Those are awesome.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And so you have other things on your list still? Yeah. No, No. I don't know the shows.

[Amy]

Oh, we're not buying anything.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not buying. Ask me to send that to Mama Papa. Oh, yeah, yeah. Did you. Do you give a list to your wife?

[Raymundo]

Oh, yeah. They. That's why I got to do it ahead of time. My mom tries to order stuff from Canada and stuff. Stuff takes time.

[Lunchbox]

Canada? You getting maple syrup or what?

[Raymundo]

Well, where they live, it's insane to try and get stuff delivered. Sent Amazon.

[Amy]

Where do they live?

[Bobby Bones]

The Upper Peninsula.

[Lunchbox]

They live in Michigan.

[Amy]

In America.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

And so if my mom's sending something from where they live, it's two weeks minimum.

[Lunchbox]

Pony Express or what?

[Raymundo]

Pretty much.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think that's true.

[Raymundo]

It is if you send a Father's Day Card. Do it a month early. It's terrible. It's really weird. Only affects me. Nobody else lives where my parents live.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, maybe they are in some.

[Lunchbox]

Well, no one else lives where his parents live. That's true. Because that's the one spot of land they live on. You know what I'm saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know. I get it.

[Lunchbox]

I think they've just forgotten to send stuff forever and Ray just blames it on that. And your. Your son's Turning how old?

[Bobby Bones]

15.

[Lunchbox]

And Ray's turning 40. There we go. Two birthday lists right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, but what's College Bowl? Do you know?

[Lunchbox]

Is it a.

[Amy]

Sounds like a video game, but I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Is it?

[Bobby Bones]

I have to ask him.

[Lunchbox]

Trivia game.

[Bobby Bones]

It's got to be on the. I didn't know it was on the. I figured it was. You gave him the. Whatever game he plays. What is that, an Xbox?

[Lunchbox]

PS5.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The big white. Yeah, you gave him that PS5.

[Lunchbox]

It's a televised quiz show or series of postseason college football games. Let's go. College Bowl. Is that okay? The quiz show currently titled. Yeah, I don't know is. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll pass on that.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe he misspelled it. Maybe it's like college ball because he did sneakers.

[Bobby Bones]

Sneakers. Candy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'd follow up on that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, ladies, when I said we came.

[Lunchbox]

To play, didn't I mean it?

[Bobby Bones]

This Disney cruise got me feeling like a queen. We can get massages at Sense's spa, have a meet and greet with Black Panther. Ooh, I love him. And I can't wait to sunbathe on the private island. And the kids will be fine. Girl, they're good. Exactly. While they hang in the kids club.

[Eddie]

With Mickey Mouse, we can do our thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm. And do it well all day.

[Eddie]

Disney Cruise Line is where we came to play.

[Raymundo]

It's time for the good news with Bobby.

[Lunchbox]

Tell me something good. He's 8 years old from near Chicago, says Mateo. He gave the $23 that he got from his birthday to a homeless woman selling candy on the side of the road, saying he wanted to help her because she was trying to buy formula for her baby. His mom captured the moment, put it on social media. It went super viral, and now there is a crowdfund campaign, 100 of donations going to support the people in need in that area. And they've been able to raise thousands and thousands of dollars because the mom recorded the kid and then didn't take the money for themselves. They donated at all. All the money coming in from the viral video and the people donating.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice.

[Lunchbox]

Pretty good.

[Amy]

That's his birthday money. All of his birthday money. 23 bucks. Like, here you go. That's unheard of for a child.

[Lunchbox]

You have four kids. How many would have done that with their 23?

[Amy]

One. One. There's one. Anytime he sees a homeless person, he's like, do we have money? Like, how much do we have? 20 bucks. Give it to him.

[Lunchbox]

Does he give away his money, too?

[Amy]

Absolutely.

[Lunchbox]

The other three.

[Amy]

Nope. No chance. No chance. They'll act like they don't even see the person.

[Lunchbox]

All right, that's from. That's from people. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Mike D's riding his wigs next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby bone store. Okay, 90 seconds on the clock. How many of Amy's corny jokes can we get right in? 90 seconds? Amy, ready over there?

[Bobby Bones]

Ready.

[Lunchbox]

All right, let's go.

[Raymundo]

The morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you call a sad cheese?

[Amy]

Pimento? Cheddar.

[Lunchbox]

Sad cheddar.

[Amy]

American? Swiss?

[Lunchbox]

American.

[Amy]

Sad.

[Lunchbox]

French.

[Amy]

Brie. You said brie.

[Lunchbox]

Different kind of cheeses. Cream cheese. Cream cheese. Blue cheese. Blue cheese. Blue cheese. Well, I didn't. I didn't have that. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what do you call a sad brownie?

[Amy]

Okay, keep going. Same thing, right? Chocolate Betty Crocker.

[Lunchbox]

Sad brownie.

[Amy]

Chocolate chip.

[Lunchbox]

Are you talking like a girl Scout or like an actual brownie?

[Bobby Bones]

An actual.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, either. I guess like a brownie's like a lower version. That's a great point.

[Amy]

Okay, I don't know anything. Hershey's melted chocolate.

[Lunchbox]

A brownle. A brown crystal. A dessert. What's sad about being brown is not blue.

[Amy]

Deserted.

[Lunchbox]

A browner brownie. Frown. Brownie. Frowny. That's it. Brownie.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

How did you get that?

[Lunchbox]

He said frown.

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of vehicle does an egg drive?

[Amy]

Shell. Cracked Shell. A. Over easy. Scrambled.

[Lunchbox]

Taurus yolk. Toyota yoke Yolks. Wagon.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you call a cow or. Sorry, what is a cow without a map?

[Lunchbox]

Lost Moolah.

[Amy]

Cow.

[Lunchbox]

Lost.

[Amy]

Cattle. Lost. B Flop. Catalost. No catalog.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, a cow without a map.

[Bobby Bones]

A cow without a map.

[Amy]

It's gotta be someone lost.

[Bobby Bones]

Utter lost.

[Lunchbox]

We don't respect that joke. That was not good. No respect.

[Bobby Bones]

And he goes, it's got to be something with loss.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but not over the work. Boo. No respect, do you mean. Okay, that's good. You gotta respect back. How many we get?

[Bobby Bones]

You got three. You got blue cheese brownie and yolkswagen.

[Amy]

All right, I did like.

[Bobby Bones]

You would have gotten utterly.

[Lunchbox]

We wouldn't have.

[Amy]

No chance.

[Lunchbox]

No chance. Yeah, no respect. Back again. Okay. Good job, Bobby Bone Show Bonehead. This story comes to us from Buffalo, New York. A 29 year old man was waiting for his flight. It's 1am there's not a lot of people at the airport. He's had a few drinks and he sees one of those golf carts that they drive. People you know, beep beep, coming through. He's like, keys are in it. Let me go ahead and drive that around the airport. He goes on the moving walkways and he crashes it and gets arrested. He crashes it. I would think that would be something you wouldn't leave the keys in just because there are so many people walking around and so many of them are drunk and you can see those keys in because it's open. A cop car you shouldn't mess with. You shouldn't even look inside of it.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no.

[Lunchbox]

But I would think you wouldn't leave the keys in that. In the airport.

[Bobby Bones]

I know you would think though, at 1am Maybe they were like.

[Lunchbox]

Especially 1am Though. Everybody's drunk or Sleepy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's fairly empty.

[Lunchbox]

Or sl. Okay, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. I'm not trying to bore everybody with retirement talk, and I don't know that I will ever actually retire. But mostly it's become a bit. Because Eddie and Lunchbox always talk about wanting to retire, yet haven't done anything about it.

[Amy]

Gosh, I can't wait.

[Lunchbox]

Which is a problem. Which is a problem because you're not doing anything. And our listeners think that it's a bit. As far as we're just making up a story, but it's absolute truth.

[Amy]

No, it's not a bit.

[Lunchbox]

We're doing it as a bid. But it's true.

[Amy]

It's true. Like, I don't have money to put into a 401k right now in my life.

[Bobby Bones]

So you make money.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think you're the poorest person ever in the history of the world?

[Amy]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Do you think there are people that have more kids and less money, that put money back 100%? I just asking because.

[Amy]

Yes, but my wife is in control of our finances, and I've run this buyer hundreds of times. She says this right now is not the time.

[Lunchbox]

Great. I'm going to present you with some more information. Americans think they need to have blank set aside for retirement. How much do you think, Lunchbox, that Americans think they need to have set aside for retirement? 2 million. Oh, that's way higher. So, yeah, I thought it was going to blow you guys away. It's not. It's not going to.

[Amy]

What is it?

[Lunchbox]

1.2 million.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, well, I mean, Lunchbox is like. Because he wants an island.

[Lunchbox]

Well, you need to have a level. I want to live a life of luxury, so I don't want to be scraping by when I retire. So I think you have to be a multi millionaire to be able to retire.

[Amy]

See, I don't care about that.

[Lunchbox]

This is average American, so this is not being a multi millionaire. So the whole. I thought 1.2 million was a crazy high number.

[Amy]

It is a high number as far.

[Lunchbox]

As, like, you have to have that much saved up.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because I'm thinking, like, I just need enough to go to McDonald's, you know, a few times a day and pay for my. My tee times and that's it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. You got to pay electric bill. Well, yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But I figured by that age I.

[Amy]

Should have, like, my house is already paid off, but your electric bill is out, and it's. My kids are out. So I'll tell my wife to turn all the lights off when we're not in the room.

[Lunchbox]

It leaves a lot of people feeling doubtful they'll have enough saved to retire. But experts say it's still possible to build a more secure financial future by taking the right steps. This is from go banking Rate. So I'm going to recommend what they're saying. Number one, enroll in your employer's retirement savings plan. You can still do that.

[Amy]

That's number one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you can still do that right now. And it's taken out before your checks taxed.

[Amy]

You know, I heard a guy talk about how like the taxes are going to be higher when you're 60 or 70 years old. And so you're taxed. Going to be. You're going to be taxed way more than you would ever be taxed if you saved your money just in something else.

[Lunchbox]

What you just said makes no sense. I don't know what you just said. Well, I didn't.

[Amy]

The guy on TikTok said it.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, you're not really.

[Amy]

He said basically whatever. Like you're. You put your money in the account now, right? And you can't take it out until you're 65.

[Lunchbox]

You can. There's a penalty with it.

[Amy]

There's a penalty.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

So you wait till you're 65 years old to take it out or whatever the age is. But whatever the taxes are at that point, like whatever the government taxes for income, that's what the number is going to be.

[Lunchbox]

He doesn't know what the tax is going to be.

[Amy]

He's assuming it's going to be higher than it is now.

[Lunchbox]

He's assuming a projecting correct. Which. Okay, don't believe people on TikTok.

[Amy]

So now my algorithm's feeding me like, do not put your money in a 401k.

[Lunchbox]

They say look to catch up on contributions to IRA or 401k plans. They say check into. Blah, blah, blah. A lot of stuff you're not gonna do. Put 1 to 2% of your salary in retirement. 1%. Even 1%.

[Amy]

1 to 2. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And if you get a bonus or a raise, put half of that extra money towards retirement.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I feel like talking to them is just like, Eddie's over there. He's like one person. No Eddie. But if you just force yourself to do it, then you find other ways or like you could. I just recently learned about a checking account that gives you. It's a high earning one, like 4%. So I move some stuff over there and that's going to make Me more money than anything else.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on.

[Amy]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, tell us where you got that.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. To do that.

[Lunchbox]

Give me that.

[Amy]

I want to do it right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask you, if you, if you find the 1% from your paycheck, you'll do it? I wonder, do I get a finder's fee?

[Amy]

No, no, no. She, you're. You're pro bono.

[Lunchbox]

Okay? So my only point with this whole thing is you guys keep waiting and you're like, well, I can't do it, but it's going to be time to retire. When you actually think you can do it, you're not going to have any money.

[Bobby Bones]

How about this, guys? You give me your money and I'll put it in the checking.

[Amy]

Risky. She'll lose it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, you sound like Madoff. Hey, but some people made a lot of money with Madoff. They did, because he had to pay some of them back and make I forget about them. Some people did awesome. Really? Yeah, it was. You just never wanted to be one of the last ones in. Like, if you got in and you're in for a while, he starts to pay you back some. But there's the new people coming in. He would keep their money. You always wanted to be the next one up. All right, guys, good luck with your money.

[Amy]

Okay, Amy, we'll talk after the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, hit me up.

[Lunchbox]

Here's a voicemail from Lindsey in California. I have a question for the room.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys believe that cheating is a non negotiable? As in that is something you'll never.

[Lunchbox]

Be able to get over or it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Something that you are able to get over and stay together. Thanks, guys.

[Lunchbox]

Now, I guess I would wonder, does she mean in our relationships or do we mean that? Because I would say nothing is a non negotiable unless it's negotiated. Like some couples, I mean, they've cheated and they're happier now because they learned why the marriage or the relationship wasn't successful. Like, they've been able to address the issues. There's been a lot of pain, obviously, but they've been able to work through things that probably they would have never worked through had the really hard thing not happened. So I think every circumstance is different. So I don't think cheating is just generally a non negotiable. I think it sucks. I think for me, it's easy for me to go, yeah, it is. And then if it happens, you're like, well, now I have to address this. So I would say nothing is a non negotiable. If I'm just blanket statementing it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's not a black and white. I think for so many people it's great. Like you said, until you're in it, then you know how you're going to handle it. But some people, they might be like out front, hey, this is a non negotiable. And when it happens they're like, peace out.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, some people could be like that and some people may say that out front and be like, I don't know, let's walk, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox]

I've just seen it happen in so many ways where yes, many of them have been like, they cheated, I'm out. Some of them have been like, let's work through it. They don't get all the way through it. And some have been like, well, let's address, instead of addressing the symptoms, let's address the actual problem. And they do and they're actually happier because of it. So I think it's not a one size fit all. But yeah, yeah, sure, I'll say that now. Non negotiable. I don't negotiate with cheaters or terrorists. There's two things I don't negotiate with cheaters or terrorists. Thank you for that. You can leave us a voicemail anytime. 877-77-Bobby. That's our number. 8777-B O B B Y.
