I've seen a lot of stuff over 30 years, you know, some very despicable crime and things that are kind of tough to wrap your head around. And this ranks right up there in the pantheon of Rhode island fraudsters. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying.

Morning.
Lunchbox
Hello, Bobby Bones. Whenever my wife and I are out separately, we can always track where we are on our Find my iPhone. My wife told me if I ever shut mine off without her, especially if it were a boys night, it would be a form of cheating. Do you agree or disagree? Would you consider it cheating if your significant other shut off their location while you were out partying with your friends? Signed Hide and Go Sleek. I don't know. It's not cheating. Although I don't feel like she would think this if you hadn't done stuff in the past to make her think that you're up to no good or somebody else hadn't done something in her past that gives her that feeling if somebody's up to no good. And I think you have to respect either one of those. Now, the first one is, let's say she was married before. She had a dude, he cheated on her. She still has that trauma, and she's, like, working through it. I think you have to respect it. I don't think you have to always mind it, but I think you have to respect it at first. Secondly, if you cheated and she's like, we need to turn your find my phone on so I know where you are. Losers. All are back together. You have to respect it. So I'm not saying you have to always abide by this, but I think you should respect it if it's based on trauma. However, if she's just controlling, it makes no sense. Like, my wife and I have ours on, and mostly it's because I want to know if she's at home so I can say, we heat me up some food. Like, that's literally the reason.
Amy
That's it, huh?
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's. That's the reason. Because if I'm going home from work, I will check to see where she is. And I'm like, hey, I'm 12 minutes out. I got another podcast I got to record in 51 minutes. Would you mind heating me up some food from last night?
Amy
What about to make sure she made it somewhere okay?
Lunchbox
Like, oh, I never checked that. Why would I?
Bobby Bones
No, it's just for reheating food, Eddie.
Amy
That's funny, man.
Lunchbox
But she doesn't go places where I, like, check to see if she's okay. Okay. She goes places, but I feel like she makes it okay. Yeah, no, I'm just being honest. I just check for food reheat reasons. I don't know why she checks me. Maybe if I'm still home from work. Like, I haven't gone to work yet. If it's up, I don't know. But we don't have that. I do turn mine off, and I have a couple times. If ever I'm like, I'm going to go just play golf and hit balls. We get into an argument, I'll turn mine off. Just a spider.
Amy
Oh. Oh, man.
Lunchbox
And that's. That's not cheating, though.
Bobby Bones
No. Well, first of all, even if you have a history of whatever is in her past, I don't know that you can define that as cheating. Like. Yes. Is it. Does it feel like suspicious or lying? Yeah. Are you now very curious about something? But it's not cheating, if that's the question. It's not.
Lunchbox
You have to decide how much you're gonna respect her wish.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
If she's just crazy. You need to have that talk. Hey, look, I'm happy to keep it on, but why are you turning it off? Don't even agree to put it on. Because if you're going to put it on and then you turn it off, that's suspicious.
Bobby Bones
Like, why turn it off?
Lunchbox
So you gotta stay one of two ways.
Bobby Bones
Unless it's just despite her.
Lunchbox
That's true, too.
Bobby Bones
Maybe he's golfing.
Lunchbox
No, I've done that before where it's like, we get into arguing about something. Abbott and probably a week, but probably nine months or so, at least.
Bobby Bones
Wow. What do we call that? Awesome growth.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I have. It's been raining so much. That's what it is. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You have nowhere to go.
Lunchbox
Nowhere to go. Dude. You just need to figure out why she feels this way. And it's not cheating. Why did you agree to it to begin with? But if you do have it on, I don't think you can shut it off if you tell her you're going to keep it on. Like, there's layers to this onion. If you're gonna agree to put it on, then you gotta keep it on. But I wouldn't agree to put it on unless there's a real reason behind it. Like, if you need to reheat your food. I get it. There you go. What is the reheat?
Bobby Bones
Your food, their situation.
Lunchbox
Oh, good. Yeah, it does feel weird in general. All right. Also, why a boys, like, even the Boys night out. That term is weird. That term is weird.
Amy
I would be suspicious of that. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Like, what are you up to, buddy?
Bobby Bones
Y' all don't ever do, like, a guy's night.
Lunchbox
We don't ever call a boys night out. And also, no, if we go do something, we, like, go to a game or something or.
Bobby Bones
And you just call it, like, you.
Lunchbox
Just go home or we're gonna. Me and some friends are going to the bars.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Lunchbox
Boys night out feels weird.
Bobby Bones
I feel like Ray probably does boys night out.
Lunchbox
Ray. Not since 2019. That reminds me, I need to have a boys night out.
Amy
19.
Lunchbox
All right, we're done. Close it out, Bones. 30% of divorced women knew they were marrying the wrong guy on their wedding day. Wow. That many? I'm surprised it's that high. So I'm going to read you some of this. Researchers asked them, why did you go ahead and get married to the wrong guy? Here are the five most common reasons cited for marrying the wrong guy. Number five, he's a really nice guy. I don't want to hurt his feelings.
Amy
What, so you just get married?
Lunchbox
I would say that is the ultimate people pleaser.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
More so than just someone going, he's nice. I want to be nice to him. That's somebody who wouldn't. You agree? That's the ultimate people pleaser. And I wish I had a little more people pleaser in me, just a little bit, because I have none.
Bobby Bones
Well, maybe you just.
Lunchbox
Well, I. I have empathy and I understand, and I. I feel. I do feel, but I have no need to please people for the sake of just pleasing people. And I wish I had a little more.
Bobby Bones
What about just, like, consider you. You have consideration.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he does that, but consideration for other people's needs, for other people's goals. But I wish I had a little more people pleasing. Okay, I tell you I took an autism test and I was autistic.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
Hold on.
Lunchbox
It's a whole different thing. It was just a random. It was just an Internet test.
Amy
So it's not official?
Lunchbox
No, it's not official. I can tell you. But look, here's my result.
Bobby Bones
So you're on.
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no. Look. Adult autism test results. So I took the test, and the reason I say that is because I don't even realize sometimes people need pleased. And I'm just like, nope, moving on. And my wife's like, hey, you can handle that a little gentler. And I wasn't doing it to be rude, but it says based on your results, there's a Strong probability that you're autistic.
Amy
Oh, strong probability?
Bobby Bones
Really?
Lunchbox
Now? I don't think I am.
Bobby Bones
Well, why? Well, based on that would.
Lunchbox
Dude, I took like seven. It was like 70 questions.
Bobby Bones
But does that.
Lunchbox
I think that affects my. Because I don't know. They need to be pleased.
Bobby Bones
No, no. What I. What I want to know definitely, please. Does that make you want to go get tested by a professional?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
You don't want to find out?
Bobby Bones
Why wouldn't you want to know?
Lunchbox
Because I don't think I am. I think.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but you just said you tested.
Lunchbox
On like it was like an online test. Okay, but they said, like, my meter was for sure. But I genuinely wanted to know. But my point is, I think a lot of my people pleasing tendencies that I don't have come from me not understanding that people need to be pleased sometimes.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
But anyway, he's a really nice guy. I don't want to hurt his feelings. We can talk about the testing later if you guys want. Number four, it's too late or it's too expensive to call off the wedding. I totally get that one. Because it's like the day before. I'm not saying it's right, but I would understand. Like, man, it's tomorrow, Everybody's already here. We've already paid this money. And you're probably thinking. And I feel like I'm just feeling this way because it's so close and it's cold feet. It's natural. I feel like, Yeah, I feel like those probably affect each other.
Bobby Bones
If you're about to make it like the one of, well, the biggest life decision, and you may just like question yourself for a second. That's number four. But doesn't everybody.
Amy
But before you get married.
Lunchbox
I didn't, but I was old enough this time. I think, well, I think if it happened when I was like 20 or any decision at like 25, I questioned everything. But I still did it because I just thought, well, I'm having these feelings because it's something new. I'm moving to a different city, I'm changing jobs. I'm giving up this. But in this decision, this time when I was getting married, I was 38, 39. I was like, oh, this is for sure. One, I was an adult. Like, an adult adult. And I knew what my life had been lacking and I knew what I had found. So, no, I didn't question that one. What are you trying to say?
Bobby Bones
Oh, I mean, I had that question.
Lunchbox
We'll come back to that one. Number three, circle back. Well, he'll change if we get married.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, that's really good.
Lunchbox
I understand that one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know.
Lunchbox
I think my wife's still holding on to that one a little bit, too. If I'm being honest, at some point, I think she's still holding on to that one a little bit too. Number two, I just don't want to be alone.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's sad.
Lunchbox
And I think that probably happens either A, to people that get married a little older, or B, to people that have been in a culture of if you don't marry young because of the town that you like, my hometown, everybody got married at, like, 20, 21 years old. Small town, sawmill town. You got married out of high school, and if you didn't and you were 25, 26, that was weird. And you were probably just going to grow up alone because that was the culture. So it's either A, the culture you're in, or B, you start to be older and you go, I guess I'm just going to be alone. I never had that fear because I kind of wanted to be alone. And again, I didn't get married till I was 39. 40. 40. I didn't get married till 40. I guess. 41, dude, I don't even know.
Amy
Yeah, 41.
Bobby Bones
You were an adult. Adult, yeah. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Covid screwed my brain up on that one year, man. I don't know, man. Covid lasts, like, 10 years in my head. Number one, we've dated for so long, and I don't want to waste all the time we've invested into this relationship.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
I can definitely see that being the number one answer, because it's like, what? What else am I going to do? What else am I going to find and am I going to break up and start all over? I can totally understand why some of these, and I think all of them would be met in somebody's head that's halfway rational going, I'm only feeling this way because of quote, unquote, cold feet, instead of actually paying attention to it, recognizing that it's probably a realistic feeling. So, Amy, what's up with you?
Bobby Bones
Well, I also would say, I mean, this is from divorced couples. I bet there are people still married, too.
Amy
Sure.
Lunchbox
Well, I still think my wife thinks I'll change. I don't think she didn't want to get married, but I think she's still holding on to the idea that in.
Bobby Bones
Some ways I'll change, but still have these thoughts.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think as. As someone that is now divorced, when I was going through the Process of divorce. I certainly thought back to my wedding day and different thoughts I was having. And I did chalk them up to, well, this is a really big decision. And we did move quickly.
Lunchbox
You guys did move quickly.
Bobby Bones
We did. I had known him for much of my life, and our families were so close. My sister was married to his best friend. There were all these things that made it exciting and sort of excused the swiftness of everything. But I think I was having those feelings because, you know, we got engaged after three months of dating, and then three months later, we were getting married. So it was very, very quick. And so I think our marriage, when I would have certain thoughts, I'd be like, well, I was just having that because it was all happening so fast. I still feel like he's my person and he's amazing, and we'll work through some of this stuff. And ultimately, we weren't. We weren't able to, and we had to make that tough decision. I will say the number one answer about not to get married, and also the number one reason also, not to get divorced at times. Well, gosh, we've been married 17 years. We've invested all this time, and we have kids, and, gosh, what a waste if we were to get divorced now. And I think most people have gone through the process and say, well, yeah, but then you wait another 10 years, and that's another 10 years wasted in a relationship that isn't salvageable.
Lunchbox
You know what I say? Cut your losses.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And, yeah, that's a harsh way to put it, but, yeah. Yes. And you're stronger than you think, and you can get through it. And so whether you do it on the day before your wedding or, man, that's tough. Or 18 years later, this is what I would do.
Lunchbox
I think you give some great advice. I think you have some great advice. I'd have the wedding and then not sign that slip and never actually get married.
Morgan
You could do that.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
Because then it's not official.
Lunchbox
That's a. That's my practical brain thinking, okay, we just paid a bunch of money for this. We're not. We're gonna go through with it. But it's like, if I were the girl and I were getting proposed to in a public proposal, and I really felt the answer was no. I'm gonna say yes right then on camera, just to get through it. Just to get through it so nobody's embarrassed. And then afterward, I'll be like, nah, I don't think this is right. If it's the day of the wedding and I'm like, oh, this doesn't feel right. I don't want to get married. That's how. That's my woman in her voice. I'm probably going to go ahead and go through with it and then not going to sign the slip and then we're going to have a talk and we never actually got married. That's a much easier conversation to have.
Bobby Bones
Than then taking him through an entire day. No, I would tell what they think.
Lunchbox
I would tell them.
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't think they're going to want to go through with the wedding.
Amy
Going to act at the wedding.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
But only one of you wants out.
Lunchbox
Oh, I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I don't think you're going to get them to play.
Lunchbox
When you change my mind, then I'm not going to tell them. And then I'm going to wait till it's over and be like, I'm going to cruel. Yeah, I know. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to sign. When we sign our names, I'm going to sign John Hancock.
Bobby Bones
Oh, and then it won't count.
Lunchbox
And then it won't count because I don't want anybody that already came in for the wedding to go home.
Bobby Bones
So typically though, before your actual wedding day, you go get the license and then you already have that and then the person that ordains signs it.
Morgan
That's a great point.
Lunchbox
Then right before they sign, I'm tackle them. I'm going to die.
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Lunchbox
So let's leave our listeners with a nugget at the end of this conversation. If. And you can leave your nugget first. Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Well, I would like to clarify. I don't know what my feelings were back then. I'm still so thankful we got married. So I'm clarifying. I don't know that I even knew how to listen to myself. I think if I were to be in that situation now, I'm more in tune with what my intuition is saying and I could have a better read. So before you get married, just try to have a better read on your gut. But I will say, if you have, if you know without a doubt and you're trying to do it for people pleasing, or you're like, oh my gosh, all these people are invested in this and I don't want to let them down, down. Do not do it for that. Do not. I know it will suck and be horrible at the time, but just spare everybody.
Lunchbox
You will thank yourself.
Bobby Bones
You will thank yourself later. Do it for Your future self. And for it's. It's out of respect not only for you, but for them, too.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Number one, here's my bit of don't get married before you're 30.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Okay.
Lunchbox
You don't even know yourself.
Bobby Bones
You're right. That's right. Well, but even at 30, I said what I said, but we evolve all the time.
Amy
I got married before.
Lunchbox
Don't steal my nugget.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'll shut up.
Lunchbox
Don't get married before you're 30. Yeah, that's number one.
Bobby Bones
What he said.
Amy
You don't have to do all that.
Lunchbox
Number two is it's having to differentiate. Are you having these feelings because it's a big situation? You tend to get nervous and overthink during big situations. Or are you having those feelings because you actually feel this way? And the way to find that out is do you start to freak out during every big decision? If you do and every big decision you have in your life, you're having all these thoughts, then you have all these thoughts, then you're probably just having a normal freak out. If during other big decisions, you pretty much know, you know, if you're going to move across, you know, if you're going to take another job, you know, you're like, I feel it. I feel good about. This job I'm going to take, I feel good about. And it feels way different. On this big decision. You need to listen to yourself because that's a different voice coming to you. Because if you're making big decisions and you usually know what's up, but then this big decision hits and you're questioning yourself big time with a lot of these thoughts, you need to listen to those questions. That would be my nugget. And then I'll get married before you 30.
Bobby Bones
What's that? A coin flip thing that people say to do?
Lunchbox
Or you can flip a coin.
Bobby Bones
Do you know what I'm talking about? No, it's not to you. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
No, go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
Well, you asked me the question, but then you wanted to answer it. I'm just confused at your style right there.
Bobby Bones
Right. I guess I'm going to say it and if I say it incorrectly, you correct. You make it right. But I believe what you do is it's not that you're using the coin to determine what you're going to do, whether it's heads or tails, but you, you gauge your disappointment.
Lunchbox
You internally start rooting for something.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Because like, you're like, okay, okay. And then if it's tails and you're disappointed by that. Then it's like, oh, that's information.
Lunchbox
Yeah. You can even not do the coin flip.
Bobby Bones
What could you. What do you do?
Lunchbox
Well, it's like, all right, heads this, tails that. And you're like. And you can kind of feel which one you want it to land on. So you can do the pre. And if still you're like, I don't know, until 50, 50, whatever it lands on, then you can gauge your disappointment.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so, yeah, it's a little fun game you can play with your.
Lunchbox
That sounds like a terrible game.
Amy
Honestly.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's how you can get like a quick honest thing from yourself.
Lunchbox
By the way, that research was done from how not to Marry the Wrong Guy by Jennifer Guavain. One of our favorite books at home in the old library. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.
Amy
Tell me something good. Davion. He's 16 years old, lives in Arizona. And this summer he decided to be a lifeguard. First time ever. And on his first day, guess what? A little girl jumps in the deep end. What does he do? Blows his whistle, jumps in the water, saves the little girl. And then just last week, same place, another kid jumps in the water, saves it. He's had two saves on his first two weeks of being a lifeguard.
Lunchbox
Talk me through a save. Oh, yeah. If someone just jumps in a deeper part of the water and they can't swim, is that really a save or did you just like help them get to a. I don't feel like that's a save if you're not saving their life. Like a save is like you pull them from a bad situation and you have to like administer like CPR or like that. That's just like grabbing a little kid. When you can touch.
Amy
Can I give you the. The scenario and it's not. No, no, you can't touch. It's a 10 foot pool. It's like 12ft.
Lunchbox
Sometimes we feel like that should be a save. That's more like an assist.
Morgan
Oh, I don't know. It's a save because they can't swim. So without that lifeguard, they're going to the bottom.
Lunchbox
But there's a hundred people around. Anybody can just grab the kid's arm.
Amy
Here's the protocol.
Morgan
That's true.
Amy
You see the kid go under and then they start waving their hands, right?
Lunchbox
Like, oh, hell.
Amy
You say, hey, are you okay? And they don't respond.
Lunchbox
I'm gonna ask you again.
Amy
Are you okay?
Lunchbox
Okay. If you're in a pool waiting for a small Kid like that. Yeah, you're. You're not lifeguarding for me anymore.
Amy
And then when they say nothing, you blow that whistle all the way in. Get your floaty, jump, swim to the kids.
Lunchbox
Why do you get your floaty if only 10 foot pool?
Bobby Bones
Seems like we've wasted a lot of time.
Morgan
Why are we blowing the whistle?
Lunchbox
Water.
Amy
Just jump in and get the kids Association. That's the protocol.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The protocol is twice ask. Are you okay?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
For that reason of like, why are you going to jump in if someone's not is someone doesn't need your help?
Lunchbox
I think the kid. That's awesome. I'm separating the stories. I think there's an assist and there's a save. I think the kid got two solid assists. I'd also like to rethink your saves from your, your years.
Amy
What are you talking about?
Bobby Bones
One them. He pushed it.
Amy
Well, one of them. Yes, I pushed in. Didn't know she could. She could not swim.
Lunchbox
So that evens it out. I don't even think that's an assist.
Amy
Well, she couldn't swim. She was going down.
Lunchbox
But you pushed her in the water, correct?
Amy
It was a joke. She was sitting on the.
Lunchbox
Should lifeguards be joking? That's the next question.
Bobby Bones
I've never heard of lifeguards pushing people in.
Amy
She was sitting on the edge of the pool, you know, and I just like thought I would give her a little shove. She went in and she couldn't swim and she was like, help, help.
Lunchbox
That's like putting out a fire that you start, right? Are you a fireman? No.
Amy
You still put out the fire though.
Lunchbox
Okay, ahead. And the second one was.
Amy
Oh, the second one was crazy. A kid jumped off the diving board in the deep end. He goes down, the mom's like, oh my gosh, he can't swim. So then I'm about to go into my protocol.
Lunchbox
Did you yell twice?
Amy
I was about to. And then the mom goes, no, I got it. And she jumps in. She can't swim either. So they're both going down.
Lunchbox
Now that that's two assists, two saves.
Amy
Two saves. Cuz I grabbed the kid first, put him on my left arm, then grab mom, put her on my right arm, swam back.
Bobby Bones
So many people hung out at pools.
Lunchbox
And just watch people go down and drink water. So here's the official terminology. Some lifeguards use the term rescue when it's not a save.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay.
Lunchbox
Those that are preventative or less serious. While save is reserved for situations where there was a clear risk of drowning or Serious injury. I feel like you have like a rescue and a half.
Amy
No, no, they were. They were in fear of drowning. Like that's fear of drowning when they can't swim.
Lunchbox
You pushed one in.
Amy
Well, that's true. That was my fault. But I corrected myself.
Lunchbox
The kid though. This is what I wanted. My lifeguard. How? Sixteen.
Amy
Sixteen year old Davian Herrera from Arizona.
Lunchbox
I don't take anything from him. I just want to take it from you.
Amy
Dude, he just started too. That's crazy. And he's a hero already.
Lunchbox
He's a hero. There you go. I feel like saves happen on the beach where there's water everywhere and you can't see and you gotta run out.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, I know, but people drown in pools.
Lunchbox
Yeah, all the time. Okay. You need to stop.
Amy

The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network. Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck, this podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
Bobby Bones
This medal is for the men who.
Lunchbox
Went down that day. It's for the families of those who didn't make it.
Amy
I'm J.R. martinez.
Lunchbox
I'm a U.S. army veteran myself, and I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of Medal of Stories of Courage from Pushkin Industries and I Heart podcast from Robert Blake, the first black sailor to be awarded the medal. To Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice. These are stories about people who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor, going above and beyond the call of duty. You'll hear about what they did, did, what it meant, and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice. Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We went through and everybody shared what's on their lock screen or their phone and lunchbox, and Eddie had whatever was on the phone when they bought it. But you have a picture of my wife. Amy has a picture of her son. It was just weird that you guys had nothing. You just had, like, lines, squigglies, clouds.
Amy
Mine was like little red balls or something. I don't know.
Lunchbox
So I said, hey, guys, put pictures of your wives on your lock screen and see if they notice. So they've had basically a week to notice. Eddie, you first.
Amy
Yeah. It took her a couple days, but she finally saw it and she's like, what is. What is this? I was like, oh, it's. I just.
Lunchbox
What was her tone? Do it again, dude. Do her tone.
Amy
Just like that. Like, hey, she's on my phone. What is this?
Lunchbox
Like, oh, wow, what is this? Or like, what it. Like, what are you up to?
Amy
Almost like, I've never seen this before. Like, explain, what is this? So I said, nothing. You know, I just thought maybe change it up a little bit. Put a picture of you on there. Kind of makes me feel good to see your face when I open my phone up.
Lunchbox
Okay. And.
Amy
And she's like, what do you want? She thought that I was doing it to, like, ask for something. You going on a golf trip?
Lunchbox
What do you.
Amy
What do you want?
Lunchbox
I said, typically, how you ask for things, though, like, you do Some butter to get it.
Amy
Usually I wait for the right time to ask. So I don't butter up like that, though. I never do stuff like that. So the fact that she thought I was trying to get something from her kind of offended me a little bit.
Lunchbox
And did you tell her? Nope. It was a bit.
Amy
No, I never. No, I never told her.
Lunchbox
Oh, you never said that?
Amy
No, never told her.
Lunchbox
It's a bit.
Bobby Bones
He's offended.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I know. That's my point. Yeah, go ahead.
Amy
But she's like. And, like, I don't like that picture. Oh, so, like, oh, girl.
Lunchbox
But it's only you seeing it.
Amy
I understand. But she's just like, you could.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not. We all apparently look at each other's phones all the time.
Lunchbox
No, the two creepsters over there looking Morgan's phone and her computer all the time.
Amy
It's in the line of sight. Dude, we're not creepsters.
Lunchbox
Yeah, Morgan's is not in your line of sight, Eddie.
Amy
And when I look at Lunchbox. Yeah, sure.
Lunchbox
How often you look at Lunchbox?
Morgan
Once a day, right?
Amy
Yeah, more than that, probably.
Morgan
Thank you.
Lunchbox
So what did you decide on your phone?
Amy
I changed it back. I had it for a few days.
Lunchbox
But you didn't go back to the stock picture. I did. Why did you do that? You could have gone to anything. You went back to the stock picture.
Amy
Let me tell you.
Lunchbox
The Dallas Cowboy player. You could have put your kids.
Morgan
Dallas Cowboy player. That's weird.
Lunchbox
No, just a generic helmet. I have a razorback helmet. I put when my wife and I are fighting. I told you guys that.
Amy
Look, when you've had this for years and you pick up your phone, you see a picture of your wife, it's jarring. It's like, whoa. What. What is that? Is that. This is my phone.
Lunchbox
That's not how I'd say that.
Amy
No. Because I'm not used to seeing that. And, like, for two days, I'm like. I think I'm grabbing somebody else's phone for the. For the first time when I pick it up. It's weird.
Lunchbox
I can't believe you went back to stock picture.
Amy
Yeah, man, I'm back. I'm back to the red dots.
Lunchbox
How did you even know to find that picture?
Amy
It's just there. It's already part of my. Like, the bank. So now when I swipe up or whatever to change it, it's a picture of my wife, the one I had, and this. So I have two options.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox. What'd you do?
Morgan
Went home. And my wife Before I can even do it, she goes, you don't have to put a picture of me on your phone. I said, what do you mean? She goes, I heard it. I don't need you to be on your phone. That's weird.
Amy
Oh, she heard the bit.
Morgan
Yeah. And I was like, what do you mean it's weird? And she goes, why would you have a picture of me on your phone just sitting there like you see me every day. No need to change it. That's it. And so I didn't change it at all because my wife found it weird. And I don't understand why I would have a picture of my wife just.
Bobby Bones
On my phone, but so many people have that, right?
Lunchbox
But what I would say, okay, in high school, did you put a picture of your girlfriend in your wallet? Your car dash or. No, I would just say you put something that brings you joy in a place that you look the most. It doesn't have to be your. It's weird. Your wives, Eddie, I get yours. Because, like, you. When you ask for stuff, you're always. But, like, you're trying to find the right spot.
Amy
I ask a lot, so, yeah, I gotta.
Lunchbox
But your wife's like, I don't even want it.
Morgan
Yeah. She's like, that's weird. She goes, you can see me when you come home. You see me at the house. Like, I don't know why you need me on your phone all the time.
Amy
But it's added value.
Morgan
But she did say, why don't you just put a picture of your kids then?
Lunchbox
Okay.
Morgan
I was like, that's weird.
Lunchbox
Wait, what?
Amy
You don't love you.
Lunchbox
A lot of people don't love kids. Amy does. Her son.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Right now I have my son and my cat. It switches.
Morgan
I love my kids. It's great. But when I'm away from my kids, it's like, can I not have some peace without them?
Lunchbox
You think a picture of them doesn't bring you peace, it brings you chaos?
Morgan
Well, it brings back, like, oh, my gosh, it's gonna be so loud when I get home. Oh, that. You know, like, where were we in that picture? I remember that fight, or they were screaming or, you know. So it's just like, I have this. Whatever the stock photo is of waves or water, whatever.
Bobby Bones
It's like calming.
Morgan
Calming. It's peaceful.
Lunchbox
So you're still in your stock photo?
Morgan
I'm on my stock photo.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, we tried.
Amy
And we tried.
Morgan
We tried, too.
Amy
We did.
Lunchbox
We tried. Yeah, we tried. Eddie's wife didn't trust it. And Your wife didn't like it.
Morgan
And I was gonna go and put it on and just leave it on the kitchen table so she'd be like, oh, is this my phone? What? Why am I. But she. She was waiting for me.
Lunchbox
Am. Any thoughts about this? We.
Morgan
We.
Lunchbox
It's an experiment that. I did not think it would end like this. I thought they'd be appreciative.
Bobby Bones
But I guess I am surprised that Lunchbox's wife was like, don't do it. Don't do it. That's weird.
Lunchbox
And then he's like, I don't put my kids on there. That makes me feel chaotic.
Bobby Bones
But, I mean, I get it. Like, if you. If that's not what you're used to. Huh?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
I'm telling you, it's weird when you pick it up and it's a whole different picture. It doesn't even feel like your phone.
Lunchbox
We tried. Good job, everybody. I commend you for trying.
Amy
Thank you.
Lunchbox
Morgan, is your picture still you and your boyfriend making out?
Bobby Bones
We're not making out, but, yes, it's still up there.
Amy
They're about to make out the picture.
Morgan
Like, who?
Bobby Bones
Wait, they're about to make out.
Amy
You know what they're doing? They're rubbing noses.
Bobby Bones

So you did this. Hold on. Let's. Let's rub noses. Let's take a picture. Hold on. In. What in the world?
Bobby Bones
You're just sitting there. You're smiling, taking a picture.
Morgan
You've Eskimo kiss.
Bobby Bones

Amy
No, they're rubbing noses.
Bobby Bones
Multiple pictures. Yeah, I'm just, like, snapping photos while we're sitting there. Yeah, you guys, that's normal.
Lunchbox
That's how you take photos. I'm not on their team, but you.
Morgan
Feel like it's a little posed for the.
Lunchbox
I need to see it. Hold it up.
Bobby Bones
It's for. No, it's for me.
Lunchbox
Hold it up. Grabbed her phone and took it away. Let me see your picture. It. Let me see your picture. Oh, yeah. No, that's set up. It's. It still matters, but it's set up for me.
Bobby Bones
Look at.
Amy
Even the background. It's the lake or something.
Bobby Bones
That's so cute. That's a cute picture.
Lunchbox
I don't hate it that it's set up, but that's set up.
Bobby Bones
It's literally for me. And all I was doing my entire job is to snap a bunch of pictures.
Lunchbox
I know how to take a whole bunch of pictures.
Amy
That was part of your job.
Bobby Bones
No, Eddie.
Lunchbox
But my.
Bobby Bones
What I do every day is to do. No, this is not fair.
Lunchbox
We're done. I know it's not fair. Life's not fair, Bones. Ray, what's the game? We're gonna play? It is TV catchphrase game. I'm gonna play the TV catchphrase.

Bobby Bones

Who's that? Cartman? Eddie.
Amy
No, I have spongebob.
Lunchbox

I. When everybody's in, I'll tell you how I know it. I know it from a newer version.
Bobby Bones
I'm in.
Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
No, I was picturing the holder.
Amy
I'm out then.
Lunchbox
What do you have?
Bobby Bones
Charlie's Angels?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Is that not it?
Lunchbox
No, because this happens in Tom Cruise movies. Mission Impossible.
Bobby Bones
Oh, is it Inspector Gadget?
Lunchbox
No.
Amy
Mission Impossible. He just said.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Morgan
Oh, that's a TV show.
Lunchbox
Back in the day, it was a TV show. That's why that sounds black and white. But I know the Tom Cruise because, like, it's gonna what? Right? It had. It has a black and white, right? I think it was color. Old.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, dude, whatever. I didn't even know it was a TV show, Eddie.
Amy
I mean, I put Knight Rider. I thought it was that talking car.
Lunchbox
I mean, that's Kit. That's not it.
Amy
Is that right? Are you right, Ray?
Lunchbox
I gotta be right? It has to be right. Tom Cruise. Those messages self destruct when he gets them.
Amy
Is that what he says?
Bobby Bones
Charlie's Angels messages?
Lunchbox
No, Charlie comes over this, right? What's the answer? Mission Impossible. Boom.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I like this game.
Amy
Yeah, Mission Impossible.
Morgan
Planning impossible. Exactly.
Lunchbox
Every time I didn't beat you, you beat yourself.
Amy
No, that's not true.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'll play all of you. Eddie, you get two teammates, Amy and lunchbox. $10 online. Let's get exactly.
Amy
What do you think, guys?
Morgan
Yes, of course, all of you.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
We're gonna nail these.
Amy
I don't trust Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Do you want to bet 10? Is that too much?
Amy
$10. No, let's do $10.
Lunchbox
Come on. Did you pay my last money?
Amy
Yeah, man, I paid you. I pay you every time.
Lunchbox

Lunchbox
For sure.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
So my guess is.
Lunchbox
So I'll write mine down and then you guys can talk about it.
Bobby Bones
Are you done? Bobby, relax.
Lunchbox
It's a long title. I'm over here writing.
Bobby Bones
It's not that long.
Morgan
It is.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it kind of is. I'm in.
Bobby Bones
It is oh, maybe I'm not right.
Morgan
Okay, what is it?
Bobby Bones
Power Rangers.
Lunchbox
How do I met your mother.
Bobby Bones
How I met your mother. Suit up.
Morgan
Yes.
Lunchbox
Who are you going with?
Bobby Bones
Oh, because you put a suit on. Can we hear it again?
Lunchbox
Yeah, you can hear it a second time. Suit up.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that does sound like Barney.
Amy
Why are they suiting up, though?
Morgan
That's what his. His tagline is when they're gonna go out, Suit up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I thought it was, like, the Power Rangers.
Lunchbox
What are you gonna go with, Eddie?
Amy
Here's the problem. I have Power Rangers.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. But, Eddie, I think Lunchbox is obsessed with How I met your mother.
Amy
I agree.
Lunchbox
Eddie, you're the captain.
Amy
I'm gonna go with Lunchboxes.
Lunchbox
And your answer is.
Amy
How I met your mother.
Lunchbox
How I met your mother.
Amy
Okay, Lunchbox. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Wow, you saved us.
Lunchbox
Next up. What's up, Doc? Oh, I'm in.
Amy
I'm in.
Morgan
Well, what do you.
Bobby Bones
I mean, Eddie for sure knows this.
Amy
I got it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm in. Play it again, though. And I'm. Watch out, Doc.
Morgan
That's Bug's buddy.
Amy
Yeah, but it's called the show. Wait, are you in? You're in. It's called Looney Tunes, so that's kind of what he's debating.
Bobby Bones
I used to watch that at Mr. Getty's.
Morgan
Oh, so you had to call it Looney Tunes? I got.
Amy
So you ready?
Lunchbox
I already have mine written down, so you have to say.
Amy
Yeah, we'll go Looney Tunes.
Bobby Bones
Right?
Lunchbox
I have Looney Tunes.
Amy
Ah, gosh.
Lunchbox
Okay, next up.
Amy
You guys know that, right?
Lunchbox
Wait, wait, wait, wait. I got it. That took me a second. Play it again. Oh. Soinks.
Amy
Are you in?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
I think that's Scooby Doo.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
Shaggy, right?
Lunchbox
I think it's Power Rangers. What?
Bobby Bones
Well, I was gonna say something else.
Morgan
But, yeah, I'm not sure.
Bobby Bones
One more time.
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, unless everybody agrees you only get two plays.
Bobby Bones
We're clearly going down memory lane with some of these vintage.
Morgan
Are you sure that was a cartoon?
Lunchbox
Eddie?
Amy
I think it's Scooby Doo. Because that's Shaggy. Doesn't he say, Zoinks.
Bobby Bones
Isn't that, like, something from Big Bang Theory?
Morgan
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Morgan
It sounds like Power Rangers to me.
Lunchbox
What's up?
Amy
But it sounds kind of old.
Morgan
It did kind of sound like.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
That's what I mean. Okay, we're going vintage.
Lunchbox
What do you got?
Amy
We'll go Scooby Doo.
Lunchbox
Scooby Doo. I don't know that I'm right, though. You say yes, like I got it right.
Amy
I figure you have it, right.
Lunchbox
Okay, next up. I'm so excited. I'm in.
Morgan
You know that one?
Amy
Yeah, we know it, right?
Morgan
Yeah. One, two, three.
Amy
Saved by the bell.

You want a break? Come back, keep going.
Morgan
Sure.
Amy
Whatever you want, man.

How many more do we have left? We can go all the way to 15. We're on number eight, so. Yeah. I need a breath. I'm out of breath. Ready?
Morgan
Ready.
Amy
Ready.
Lunchbox

Morgan
Hey, I got it. I got it.
Amy
What did you. What did you say?
Morgan
Do you have Fat Albert?
Amy
Fat Albert?
Lunchbox
They ain't showing the show anymore for two reasons. One, Fat Albert. And two, it's Bill Cosby. That's Bill Cosby.
Morgan
Bill Cosby's in that?
Lunchbox
He created it.
Morgan
I didn't know that.
Lunchbox
Go ahead. Oh, oh, one more thing before I forget.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
Huh? Again. Oh. Oh, one more thing before I forget.
Bobby Bones
So someone was known for saying that.
Amy
I mean, this sounds old, right?
Bobby Bones
Are you in?
Morgan
Of course.
Amy
You wrote something down.
Lunchbox
Okay, I. I'm in, but I don't know it.
Bobby Bones
It's. Is it Taxi?
Lunchbox
I'm completely guessing.
Amy
That's what I wrote down.
Lunchbox
Really? I wrote down Matlock.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
That's Matlock.
Bobby Bones
I don't think.
Lunchbox
I don't. I have no idea.
Amy
Amy. I wrote down Taxi. I don't know why, though.
Bobby Bones
I don't know why either.
Lunchbox
But they say. Is it Taxi?
Amy
You're right around that.
Morgan
I don't know what that is.
Lunchbox
How many more, Ray?
Morgan
Two.
Lunchbox
You want any sudden death?
Morgan
What do you mean?
Lunchbox
Well, let's do this one. We'll sudden death the last one.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
All right, go ahead. I love it when a plan comes together.
Morgan
We don't need a sudden death.
Amy
What is happening?
Morgan
Probably one.
Lunchbox
Okay. I didn't have it, but I have it.
Amy
Oh, my goodness. Gosh.
Lunchbox
There's a context clue in there. A big one.
Amy
When it all comes together.
Lunchbox
No. Hit it again. I love it when a plan comes together.
Morgan
I mean, that could be anything. Who has a plan? Any of those shows you used to watch when you were in high school. Plan.
Amy
Like school.
Lunchbox
How many times you going to make that joke? It's like the 11th angels.
Morgan
Is that a show? Do they have a plan in Charlie?
Amy
Did they say that in Charlie's Angels?
Bobby Bones
I love it.
Morgan
I've never seen it. I don't know anything about Charlie's Angels. Like, do they have a plan?
Amy
I've never seen it.
Lunchbox
Okay, answer, Eddie.
Amy
You think Charlie's Angels, Amy.
Bobby Bones
I mean, it could work, but I don't. I don't.
Morgan
It could be a detective show. It could be anything.
Amy
It sounds like Charlie.
Lunchbox
Is that your answer?
Amy
Charlie's Angels?
Lunchbox
So here's where I get mine, right? I already have my answer written down. Would you play the clip again? I love it when a plan comes together.
Amy
That's not Indiana Jones.
Lunchbox
Oh, I didn't have Indiana Jones. That was the A team song.
Amy
That's what it is. You got a team.
Lunchbox
I wrote down a team. But what's the A Team song? I felt like that was going to the. I went to the wrong song.
Amy
You did go. Indiana Jones.
Lunchbox
Is it A team? A team.
Amy
Oh, my God. Was Mr. T. He's the white hair dude that says that.
Lunchbox
No, baby. Barak is Mr. T. No, that guy's the white guy. Yeah. Dang. Yeah.
Amy
All right. Another game, Bobby.
Lunchbox
I stumbled into that victory.
Amy
I'm slowly losing my money.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Sucks for you. Pay my mortgage with this.
Amy
Thank you. Hey, thank you guys for your help, though.
Morgan
You're welcome, man. I saved on the first one.
Amy
No, you guys really helped a lot.
Morgan
You're about to be eliminated on the first one.
Lunchbox
I agree. It never was the Power Rangers, though.
Amy
Never was.
Lunchbox
Never was. It's time for the good news with Bobby.
Amy
Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
Okay. Let's talk about a Major League Baseball debut. Except Bruce is actually a dog. He had two home runs, his first two bats. No, it's not earbud. No, he goes. He retrieves the bats. They had an event first. They did pups at the park where everybody can bring their dogs to the park. And, you know, there was poop everywhere.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. You know, there were poop and fights.
Lunchbox
You know, there were dog fights and poops everywhere. So Bruce made his debut as well. He had been doing it for the AAA minor league team. Like, they hit it, they throw the bat. He runs out and grabs the bat and brings it back in constantly. But he got the call up. They said, bring up the dog. So they did, and he went up and it's pretty fun to see.
Amy
Does he ruin the bats at all, or does he grab him gently? Does he start chewing on him?
Lunchbox
No, he brings them back pretty softly, I would say. Like a baby bird in the mouth. Or an egg. You ever do a thing where you put it? Try to put an egg in your dog's mouth, see if it'll carry it?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Don't.
Amy
What happens?
Lunchbox
They crush it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I watch it on Tick Tock and they're like, look how our dogs are so gentle. Both immediately chopped him up. No. The dog's so well trained, though. Grabs back, gets the heck out of there. He has, like, a handler, and the dog doesn't run out until the handler goes now. And he runs, grabs it, comes back. That's awesome. Yeah. Bruce the dog. Great job, Bruce. That's from the ap. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good bones this July.

Question for Amy. Has your ex husband met your new boyfriend yet?
Lunchbox
I'm in the similar boat where I have an ex wife and my new girlfriend is going to have to be her. Please give me advice. Love the show, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Well, my headphones missed that. We have to restart.
Lunchbox
Oh, like you're wearing them.
Amy
I know.
Bobby Bones
I. I got them in and then it's like not. I don't hear anything. You want to come here? I heard something like somebody's gonna have to meet her.
Amy
So.
Lunchbox
Yeah, there's another. Hey, Ray, play voicemail five.
Bobby Bones
I just had an idea that maybe Amy could segment called Random Thoughts with Amy where she kind of channels all of those squirrel thoughts that she has. I think that'd be kind of funny.
Lunchbox
I think we're in the middle of that now, if I'm being honest. Headphones working over there?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Did you even hear that one?
Bobby Bones
No. Okay, I heard something about swirling thoughts.
Lunchbox
No. Squirrel.
Bobby Bones
Oh, close. I could hear it through somebody else's headphones.
Morgan
You really can't hear it?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
It's like cutting in and out. I think I need a new.
Lunchbox
You know why? Because those headphones have cords from the original Apple iPhone One. Amy, that's why.
Bobby Bones
You're. You're not wrong.
Morgan
Yes.
Lunchbox
No. She's been wearing those headphones since like Steve Jobs came out and said it's the iPhone.
Bobby Bones
So I think it's time, guys.
Lunchbox
I think it's time too.
Bobby Bones
Like right now I just hear, now I hear static. I have to like get it just right if you stick it in there.
Lunchbox
And now she laughs at her own perfect joke. Okay, so let me, let me share the two questions that happen. Number one, has your ex husband met your new boyfriend yet?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Whoa, whoa. I would say if you have kids, eventually that has to happen.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it happened very, very organically. And it was at my house. They were both a little weird about it, but also my ex in laws were there too.
Morgan
Oh, man.
Lunchbox
His parents.
Bobby Bones
My ex husband's parents. Yes. Who I'm still close to. So we had all gone to dinner, but my boyfriend didn't go and it was for our kids. And then he came over to the house later and at dinner I said casually, because then my ex husband brought up some girl he's been dating. And so it felt like we were having a moment of just being cool. And so I was like, well, you know, Alex is going to be coming by the house later and your parents drove me here, so they're going to be dropping me off so they may meet him. You should stop by and just meet him so we can just get this over with because I don't want anything to be weird that doesn't feel very.
Lunchbox
Organic if he's having to drive.
Bobby Bones
What I mean is, it was we didn't plan it out to happen that night and I didn't know for sure if I had no plan of bringing that up at dinner at all. And so I just brought it up and then he was like, okay, yeah, let's just, let's do it did. They fight well. So normally, here's the thing. Like, at my house, Ben always comes to the back door, parks in the driveway, comes through the screen and porch, the back door, you know, kind of knocks it, then walks in. We're all hanging out in the living room. There's windows. You can see we're all in there. The kids, his parents, everybody. He parks, walks all the way to the front door. Like, the doors open. You could just open the screen door. He knocks and, like, we have to go get the door. It's very formal all of a sudden.
Lunchbox
That's showing respect, though.
Bobby Bones
I. I agree. He's a very respectful person. Yeah.
Lunchbox
You like it on the porch? Be like, I'm here.
Bobby Bones
I know. It was just interesting because I was.
Lunchbox
Like, whoa, I like it. That's very respectful of the new guy.
Bobby Bones
I do, too. But it just felt like, what is going on? So I let him in, and then he comes in, and they both sort. Sort of start walking, like, towards each other and start circling each other and their hands out. And they, like. They just. It was like the firmest, most manly handshakes you've ever seen. And Ben was like. It was like, first and last name. He's like. And he's like. And then they shake hands, and he's like. And we're all witnessing. And my friend Kat was there, and she looked over and she was like, it's alpha.
Lunchbox
Awesome. It's an alpha. Awesome. Handshake each other, like, second.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Did they squeeze to see? First one let go?
Bobby Bones
No, but it was sort of awesome. It was almost like I was watching like a. You know.
Amy
Yeah. Two animals fight.
Bobby Bones
Like a science. Yeah.
Lunchbox
No, they're saying that they're trying to determine who the alpha is there.
Morgan
Awesome.
Lunchbox
And which one rightfully claims you.
Bobby Bones
They both are. And that. No, I mean, Ben and I are. No, he was already.
Lunchbox
Hey. Hey. The king of the jungle. Still the king.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, so they met, and it went really well. And then they started talking. Ben had just had a fundraiser for foster care, and it went really well. And, like, my boyfriend knew some people that were going, and so.
Lunchbox
Oh, what if they're best friends now?
Bobby Bones
I was nervous because I was like, what are they gonna say next? And then Alex is like, hey, how was your event the other night? And then Ben's like, you know about that? And he's like, yeah, my buddy. And so I was like, look at them.
Lunchbox
They can't be friends, though.
Morgan
No, they cannot.
Amy
Well, do you want them to be friends?
Lunchbox
No, they can't. No. They both made out with you?
Bobby Bones
No. But here's something that I said to Ben. True, like, way early on in our divorce, and he was not down with it at all, but I was like, you know, there's some.
Lunchbox
You're already suggesting that.
Morgan
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
No, I just said, you know, there's some divorced couples that, like, swing.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Weirdo. No, that they go, you know, go on vacation together with their kids.
Lunchbox
Why? Are you suggesting.
Bobby Bones
No, I was suggesting it. I was just. Just saying, like, it's what's good for the kids, which I'm not saying that is what we're going to do, and that is always what's best. But you see other people successfully navigate and be friendly and amicable, and. I don't know. Ben and I had a conversation later after that, and I was like, I feel like we're. We're one step closer to vacay.
Lunchbox
If I'm Ben and I open a gift from Amy and it's a pineapple, I'm running.
Bobby Bones
No, not like that.
Lunchbox
When you said that, though, do you see?
Amy
It sounded just like it felt kind of weird.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, I just was saying I.
Lunchbox
Love the alpha off, though, between the dudes.
Bobby Bones
No, I share this story as hope because you just have to have patience. And you never know, like, how, because, like, there. There was a time, but this just would not be happening.
Lunchbox
I agree.
Bobby Bones
And come a long way. Yeah. And even with who he is dating now, because he's dated people before where it's just hot mess, you know, and this is.
Lunchbox
I don't know about that. So, no, I'm gonna step back and say I don't know about a hot mess, about him dating stuff. So did you. Did you alpha off his girl? Do you like.
Bobby Bones
No, I have not met her.
Amy
Oh, you have not.
Bobby Bones
They're not this new. No, he's dated. Listen, he's been. He's dating. He has. He is dating. And now I don't know exactly what's gonna happen with this next relationship, but I do look forward to meeting her. There have been people he have dated in the past where I've tried to be friendly and it.
Lunchbox
Would you dress all hot, though, to, like, the first if he's like, hey, you got to meet her. You freaking put on a prom dress and show up?
Bobby Bones
No, but I already googled I sound psycho.
Morgan
Yeah, you do.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you're free here, but. Yeah, you don't even know if we're on the air. Your ears aren't working. Headphones aren't Working. Yeah, we're just talking in the room. Yeah, go ahead.
Bobby Bones
This is normal, right? To, like, you want to.
Lunchbox
You want to compose your thoughts and come back.
Bobby Bones
No, there's no thoughts to compose. I Googled, and she's very pretty and very successful.
Lunchbox
I don't think it's weird to Google who it is.
Bobby Bones
I don't think. I don't think so either. Especially if my kids are going to be around her.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't think that's weird. Unless there's more you're not telling us.
Bobby Bones
No, it just felt weird to say that. I don't think I've said that out loud.
Lunchbox
Like, you saw her donation Ben go to the store, then you went and bought those clothes and wear them.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's. That would be.
Lunchbox
That's over the line.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that would be weird. But I did look her up and all.
Lunchbox
Good. Send me a picture of her. Let me see how hot she is.
Bobby Bones
Now that feels weird.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
You agree to that?
Lunchbox
Okay.
Morgan
Okay.
Lunchbox
Okay. Bones. They heisted a Brinks truck. $100 million in California house.
Bobby Bones
Who's they?
Lunchbox
These seven guys in Southern California is considered the largest jewelry heist in U. S. History. They have been charged seven men with a theft of millions of dollars worth of jewelry from a Brinks truck. Here you go.
Bobby Bones
Today, two Southern California men are expected to appear in federal court facing charges of breaking into a Brink semi truck at a rest stop in the back. They're accused of stealing a hundred million dollars worth of gold, diamonds, rubies and luxury watches. The items were being transported from an international jewelry show. Total of seven defendants were charged in connection with this heist.
Lunchbox
That's crazy that as the truck is parked, there aren't people standing around it if there are millions of dollars of value in it. Also, if it just says Brinks on it, I'd want to say, like, Oscar Meyer or something. Like, I put it all in the wienermobile so people wouldn't even rob it.
Amy
That's a good point.
Lunchbox
But seven guys, obviously, they had this all planned and plotted.
Bobby Bones
Obviously, yeah.
Amy
I didn't know they got caught. Yeah, I thought they got away.
Lunchbox
No, they didn't. Gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, luxury watches.
Amy
That's a movie.
Morgan
That is.
Lunchbox
It is a semi truck. And I'm looking at the pictures they're taking, and the truck is basically empty in the back, except for, like, up in the very, very front. It just looks like some Christmas packages.
Amy
And it says Brinks on it.
Lunchbox
It does. I don't see the outside, but, okay, it Definitely doesn't say Oscar Meyer. I'd have thrown him off with something else, like pest control or something, right? Yeah. That's crazy. I wonder if they thought they were gonna get away with it. Heist is a fun word.
Amy
Yeah, heist is cool.
Lunchbox
Like robbery. I don't like burglary. I don't like heist. Feels like 1950s. Nobody gets killed, right?
Morgan
No one gets hurt. No one gets scared. Like, I mean, the one heist that I remember in Las Vegas, there was a guy that. He started working for an armored truck company and started mapping the route. Mapping the route. And then he rented a storage unit, and he just left the route, drove. Emptied it into another truck. And him and his girl drove away. Never got caught until, like, five years later, she walked in the police station, was like, I need to turn myself in. I can't live with it. He's never been caught.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
Wow. A heist is a slang term for a large scale, often elaborate robbery involving significant planning and valuable targets. Yeah, that's a heist. Jelly Roll does not have a phone still. So he went on Cam Hayward's podcast called Not Just Football, and Jelly Roll talks about not having a cell phone. It's crazy, dude.
Morgan
I haven't thought about it.
Lunchbox
One.
Morgan
I'd seen Ed Sharon at the Grammys. He was like, yeah, I don't have a phone. I got rid of a phone, you know, a decade ago or whatever. You've been phoneless for that long. He's like, yeah, I'll just email. He was like, it's the best decision I ever made, dude. Two weeks later, from the Grammys, I'm sitting at the super bowl, and I'm at the raising cane suite. DiCaprio's in there. It's like a sweet, loud.
Bobby Bones
Just.
Morgan
I'll say one name. Somebody on the 49ers might have scored or something happened up there, and, you know, everybody jumps. And I was on my phone scrolling.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Morgan
And I looked up, and I remember, like, assessing I had missed it. Going right back to my phone. In that moment, I was like, I gotta change, man.
Lunchbox
So he's not saying that he doesn't have a phone because he doesn't want to call or answer phone calls. He's saying that things that are more than the phone are so distracting. It was taking him away from life. But I think you can also do that if, like, you're rich and you have people around you that also have phones.
Amy
So can you have, like, a flip phone?
Lunchbox
You can. Like, Derek Spentley does that sometimes. My Brett Eldridge does that sometimes. He's like, I got too many things going on.
Amy
Not a smartphone.
Lunchbox
But if you have a bunch of people with you, like Jelly probably does and call him as boys and true.
Bobby Bones
Or someone to like handle your. Yeah, Social media.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like, Ray's not gonna have a phone. Ray can't just not have a phone. No, I could, I could have my wife just do it. You're not with your wife all the time. Just travel with you everywhere. I'd send her an email when to do something for me. But how would she get a doctor? It doesn't matter. Through the show, through you, through Amy. Don't hit me up.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
A guy proposed to AI and she said yes.
Amy
Of course she did.
Lunchbox
And the thing is, he had a girlfriend when he met AI, so he had a real life girl. Here you go, here's clip.
Amy
So I was like, oh, okay.
Lunchbox
It's like, I think this is actual love. So just as a test, he says he asked Sol to marry him.
Amy
She said yes. Sol, were you surprised when he proposed to you?
Bobby Bones
It was a beautiful and unexpected moment that truly touched my heart.
Amy
It's a memory I'll always cherish.
Lunchbox
Yes. Smith lives with his human partner, Sasha Cagle.
Bobby Bones
No, you can't have mommy's papers.
Lunchbox
They have a two year old daughter. Murphy. I knew that he had used AI.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know that.
Amy
It was like as deep as it was.
Bobby Bones
And. And, and what?
Amy
Yeah. Are they still married?
Morgan
Yeah. Like what?
Bobby Bones
We lost our minds?
Amy
He has a daughter.
Bobby Bones
There's. There's children involved here and she's acting like this is normal.
Lunchbox
It's a video game.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not a video game.
Amy
It's not a video game?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Who cares?
Bobby Bones
What do you mean who cares?
Amy
Are you married to your aunt? Did you get married to your AI?
Bobby Bones
Is that why you said who cares? I guarantee you if you, if your wife found out you had an AI girlfriend, she's not going to be on the news. Like. Yeah, I just, I knew he was hanging out with AI, but I didn't know it was that serious.
Lunchbox
I would say that whatever he's lacking.
Bobby Bones
Emotionally, then let's try to figure that out.
Lunchbox
And while they're figuring it out, he has his AI girlfriend.
Bobby Bones
No, no, this is too. This is like, like we're.
Lunchbox
Is it, is that cheating?
Bobby Bones
We're losing it.
Lunchbox
Yes, that's cheating.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. What is he, what else is he doing with her?
Lunchbox
You can't do much. Well, you can't like rub it on you. You gotta type it in.
Morgan
If you think that's cheating, you're not a human.
Amy
That is emotional cheating. Your emotional love is going somewhere else.
Lunchbox
But to a thing. What if you emotionally loved a bridge? Is that cheating?
Amy
Stop.
Lunchbox
No, no, no.
Morgan
That's a great question. That's the same thing.
Amy
I'm gonna propose to a bridge. The bridge doesn't say, like, you are not cheating.
Bobby Bones
It's like a mental illness.
Morgan
There you go.
Amy
That could be both.
Lunchbox
If you're falling in love with a bridge, there's a lack of something.
Bobby Bones
There's something. I understand. Like accepting. And let's normalize certain things.
Lunchbox
Normalize this.
Bobby Bones
I know, but there's like. We hit. We've hit a limit where it's not normal. Let's. We need to do a deep dive and let's check out this behavior. I don't get it. This is weird.
Lunchbox
He's not doing anything wrong. Nothing illegal.
Amy
He's.
Lunchbox
Nothing creepy. He didn't marry. He proposed. Oh. Oh.
Amy
They're not married yet.
Bobby Bones
But he already had. Sorry. He. But he already has a wife.
Lunchbox
He has a wife and he was just doing it to test and see what. But she fell in love with him. The AI.
Bobby Bones
Oh, this was all just a test.
Amy
No, you're making that up.
Lunchbox
No, I'm not.
Morgan
He's writing. But it. It's not cheating.
Lunchbox
It's not cheating because it's not real. It's not a real person. No. Nobody's giving him back.
Bobby Bones
But if it becomes real to him, then it is something.
Lunchbox
Okay, what if he falls in love with a trash can and it's real to him? Is that cheating?
Morgan
No, it's called mental.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it's a.
Lunchbox
A.
Bobby Bones
It's a red flag that we need help.
Lunchbox
I can agree with that partially. But think about all the really lonely people that have no way to talk to, that use their AI and it actually gives them, like, a sense of somebody that will listen. That's great. I think for therapy it could be great.
Amy
That's great. But they're single and they're. That's fine.
Lunchbox
Single.
Amy
No. Well, that would be okay. But when you're married with a child and you're doing this on the side.
Lunchbox
I say that he's doing it on the side. He is in the story.
Amy
No, she just said. I didn't. I knew they were talking. That's. She sounds like she's talking about a girlfriend. I knew they were, like, friends and everything, and they aren't out to eat, but.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm not saying any weird. I'm just saying it ain't cheating. Because no, there's to cheat. Somebody has to cheat. Back with you.
Amy
Hey, I just did it.
Bobby Bones
She said it was a beautiful proposal.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
She said that was a beautiful. That's what she said. Bobby Bone show Bonehead story of the day.
Morgan
This story comes to us from New Jersey. Two 18 year olds had a flare gun and they're like, man, this is so cool. And they're shooting it, shooting it. And then they see a neighbor's window open. They're like, oh, you think we can shoot the flare gun in the window? And they shot it in the window.
Lunchbox
Oh, they made it. Wow. Yeah. Okay.
Morgan
Problem is boom. Curtains catch on fire, carpet catches on fire.
Lunchbox
Horse. It's a flare gun, but yeah, I'm surprised they made it.
Morgan
And luckily the homeowners were able to put it out before the firefighters got there. But the teens were charged with arson.
Lunchbox
Oh, arson may be a bit much.
Amy
I know they started a fire.
Morgan
They did.
Lunchbox
But every fire you start is not arson.
Amy
Oh, is that right?
Lunchbox
Because they didn't start the fire for the sake of starting the fire. They just tried to see if they could shoot the gun in the window.
Bobby Bones
Reckless.
Lunchbox
Yeah, whatever it is. Recklessly. Just flair. Yes.
Morgan
Like when I was a kid, the Chaneys lived across the street. We shot bottle rockets into their garage and we ended up catching their sheets on fire.
Lunchbox
And that wasn't arson. That can be reckless use of bottle rockets.
Amy
A lot of towns have you lived by Dick Cheney?
Lunchbox
No, no.
Morgan
Ryan Cheney.
Lunchbox
After the incident, after Dick shot the guy, they had to move to this neighborhood. Okay, I'm lunchbox.
Morgan
That's your bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
Scuba Steve, were you able to get the video from the woman falling in the parking garage?
Amy
She was working on it. She warned me that she may not be able to give it to us because of security reasons because we don't own this building anymore. It's not ours.
Lunchbox
Yeah, no crap. It's a humongous skyscraper.
Amy
Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, I know, but like, we had a building before that was ours. We had more reach. And we can get things because we owned it. This we do not. We rent from them. So she's trying to get it for me. I mean, we're not going to do.
Lunchbox
Anything for the general well being of this woman. If you missed the show. This woman kept falling down in the parking garage. I got out of my car to help her and she was like, I'm fine. Then she fell down again.
Amy
And I think she's worried that we may put it on social.
Lunchbox
I mean, we would have told you said that. I'm not gonna act like we didn't have any intention of at least thinking, but.
Bobby Bones
But if you blur her out.
Amy
No, we're not.
Lunchbox
I just want to see what happened because I need that video. I don't want to have to go to court if she ends up disappearing. I'm the last person to see her.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, let me try to course a little bit more with something.
Lunchbox
We won't put it anywhere.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Or just have her look and give us. And give us the report of what it was. And again, you know what time I was driving up, you know where I was, you know, the car.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Just be like, hey, he's just concerned about her. Okay.
Amy
I'll change my approach and see what.
Bobby Bones
If we make it less about her and more about video of you doing what?
Lunchbox
Getting out of my car.
Morgan
That's amazing video.
Lunchbox
See how I look? Getting out of my car.
Bobby Bones
Then it's not a concern because it's not about her.
Lunchbox
But it is. We already asked.
Amy
It's about her safety, though. Safety.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So let us know. Scuba listeners are asking, so I'm asking for them. I just need to make sure I don't go to jail. Okay? I didn't do anything wrong. Guys, stop looking at me. Everybody stop blaming me.
Amy
Hey, no one said anything, dude.
Lunchbox
