Amy
Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bones show. Let's go. Welcome to Thursday's show Morning studio. We have Jake on one more time. Yesterday, Eddie failed him. Sounds of the Summer game.
Lunchbox
Sorry, Jake.
Amy
Amy was actually quite good at this game. We're gonna give Jake one more chance. Amy, you're just gonna go. I feel like you've shown your ability. This might be your secret talent.
Lunchbox
Amy, don't choke.
Amy
Can you identify sounds of the summer? Jake, Amy needs to get four or five. Okay.
Morgan
I believe in her.
Amy
You got this, Amy. Here we go. Sound number one.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I love how he believes in me, but basically he had no choice. He was just giving like I was giving.
Amy
That's what happens all the times in life. We believe in our final choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Let's opening the can.
Amy
Okay. Sounds of the summer play one more time, please. You're going with.
Bobby Bones
It's opening up a can. I don't know if it's a can of coke or a can of beer, but it's can.
Amy
Correct. Opening up a can of soda.
Lunchbox
It's a great sound.
Amy
Next up.
Bobby Bones
What? That's the sound of summer.
Amy
It's one of the sounds of summer. Can you identify at any point? You can. You only have one room line where you can. The room can all give you an idea.
Bobby Bones
So some of these are just like very specific because I have something in my mind, but I'm like. That would be so specific.
Amy
You want to hear it again? Sounds of summer. Go.
Bobby Bones
Like, what I have in my head is so specific. Like, why would you do this? Like, why would you have this sound?
Amy
I can't tell you what answer to pick.
Bobby Bones
I know you can't.
Amy
I don't even know what you're thinking. What are you thinking?
Bobby Bones
I can tell you what I'm thinking.
Amy
Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Running with flip flops.
Morgan
Ding, ding, ding.
Amy
You can't give her any help. She's not going to the room. Like, right or wrong. You can't give her.
Bobby Bones
Like, that's what it. That's. But I'm like, wow, that's. That's a sound.
Amy
You know how you do brain needle. Brain needle? No, Green needle. Whatever that is. It's whatever you're listening for. So play it again and think of running in flip flops and see if that makes sense. Go.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I mean, that's still what I hear, because I can't unhear it. But Lunchbox agreed with me, and I don't know that this is his gift.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's.
Amy
But you did say it, though, before he ever said yes or yes, you did say running in flip flops.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or was he just trying to be a jerk? Can be like, ding, ding, ding.
Amy
What is your answer?
Bobby Bones
Honestly, I can't think of anything else that it would be. So. Running in flip flops.
Amy
Is it running and flip flops.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
Good job.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
You're welcome.
Amy
The fact that you nailed that, that's your talent.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Amy
Yeah. Okay, next up. No way.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I got it.
Amy
No way. What? Hit it one more time.
Bobby Bones
It's the knife going into the fruit. If you need me to be specific on fruit, I will. But if. Yeah, cutting.
Amy
That's what it is.
Bobby Bones
I need you to be specific cutting a fruit.
Amy
Okay. What fruit?
Bobby Bones
Well, it's summer, so it's a watermelon.
Amy
Is it cutting a watermelon?
Bobby Bones
Wow. Yeah.
Amy
She nailed that from the first blade into the watermelon.
Lunchbox
She's amazing.
Morgan
Wow.
Amy
This is like your Rain Man.
Bobby Bones
There was something else I did kind of recently.
Lunchbox
Ketchup.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox
It's pretty amazing.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I have all these talents.
Amy
Your superhero talents are the. I'm sorry, man. You can get, like, a good one. You got, like, weird ones. Identifying ketchup by the brand by eating it.
Bobby Bones
Other good things about me. Go ahead.
Amy
All right. You gotta get one of the next two. All right, go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's weird. Is it like a mixture of two things?
Amy
Because that's one thing definitely is not a sandwich. You hear it again?
Bobby Bones
Like, why is the water part so heavy?
Amy
Go ahead. There's also a bird in there, and I'm not looking for the bird. This is.
Bobby Bones
I know, but why would you. Like, right now, I just have to tell you what's in my head. Like, why would you have your sprinklers on when it's raining?
Lunchbox
It's a good question.
Bobby Bones
Because it sounds like.
Amy
What is your answer.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like sprinklers are on. But it also Sounds like raining.
Amy
What's your answer?
Bobby Bones
And I hope this, that they're sprinklers on dawn or dusk. Maybe it's on a timer during the summer hot day.
Amy
What is your answer?
Bobby Bones
One more time, please. One. Just one. Okay, this is the weirdest sprinkler ever. But sprinklers.
Amy
Is it a sprinkler? Correct. The water. Is the water hitting it from the sprinkler?
Bobby Bones
Okay, it sounded like it was raining with sprinklers, but let's see if she.
Amy
Can go five for five because she's already won because she's the greatest ever at this point. Hit it. That's it.
Bobby Bones
That's it.
Amy
Hit it again.
Bobby Bones
Why is there just one sound?
Amy
Hit it again.
Bobby Bones
Would it be something you hear in a row?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Or you only just hear it?
Amy
It's just that.
Bobby Bones
Like the opening of a can.
Amy
That's the sound? Yeah, that's the sound.
Morgan
You got this, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Does anybody else know it?
Amy
No.
Morgan
I got an idea.
Bobby Bones
Can I get a hint from the room?
Amy
No. You've already won. So let's see if you can go five for five.
Bobby Bones
Well, see, but now what's in my head is way too specific.
Amy
What is it in your head?
Bobby Bones
One more time. Like changing gears on your bicycle. But. Or. Or you're baking something. You're setting the little egg timer on your fridge. Answer a bite. Gear shift.
Amy
Eddie?
Lunchbox
No clue. Does sound like a lock of some sort of. I'm gonna go winding a watch.
Amy
Lunchbox.
Morgan
Sunscreen top. When you're opening it. Yeah. When you.
Amy
It's fishing.
Morgan
Real clicking.
Bobby Bones
I am not official.
Lunchbox
Send that drag.
Amy
Yeah, but Amy is our winner there. She gets four out of five. So. Thank you. Good job, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Amy
Good job, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Amy
The flip flops one was pretty legit. Yeah, pretty legit, Bones.
Morgan
It's the Anonymous in boxing.
Amy
Anonymous. Hello, Bobby Bones. I need some advice on upgrading my engagement ring. My husband and I have been happily married for three years. When we got engaged, he was between jobs, so he bought a small diamond ring to propose to me. Besides, truly, it didn't matter. I was just excited to be getting married. But now that we both have good jobs, I would love to purchase a ring that's a little bigger, in a style that I like. I was thinking our five year anniversary might be a good time for that. Do you have any tips for navigating that conversation with him? I don't want to sound selfish or I don't want to cause him to think that I dislike the ring he got me. Sincerely. To bling or not to bling? Amy, you can go first.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man. Well, I was thinking this is not going to be that awkward. She's been married for a while, and then you said five years.
Amy
Yeah, three years now. Oh, five years would be the reason she got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I. I want more time. But also, if you do have better jobs now, I think it's something you want to do together and something you want to celebrate and something that you would like. But he's probably gonna be offended.
Amy
So the way to go around this is to not get a bigger engagement ring diamond. It is to do one of those rings that go with your ring.
Bobby Bones
Oh, add to it.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
But how do you add another diamond?
Amy
You don't. You get a second ring that fits in next to the other ring.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
So if you're gonna spend money on a diamond, you're gonna spend money. So he's gonna have his feelings hurt. I'm just gonna tell you right now, if you go to him this early, yeah, his feelings are gonna be hurt. So to you, you need to weigh is the uncomfortableness of his feelings being hurt for a minute. Is that worse than you get it. Keeping a small ring but adding another to it? I've seen a lot of people get a second ring. That's diamond that looks like it fits right next to the other diamonds. It looks like two diamonds instead of one.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay.
Amy
Because the position of it goes next to your other ring and it looks like two big diamonds.
Bobby Bones
So it's like hugging it.
Amy
It's. It's like its best friend.
Bobby Bones
A little Huggy.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Give it that name. Be like, oh, I heard Huggies. They're all the rage.
Amy
Oh, you want to make a ball turn?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Just say that and be like, have you heard of the five year Huggy?
Amy
So what I would say he's gonna have his feelings hurt. I would just say go for it and get it over with and say, hey, look, is it cool if I upgrade the diamond that you got me and we can get us a bigger ring? You have to use we terminology. You can't use you because it's still him. And if you don't want to do that, be like, hey, I'm gonna get a second ring to accompany the original ring to celebrate three years. Those are the two options.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Because the third option is just do it and don't tell him because he may never notice. Let's be honest. But he's gonna notice that money being gone.
Bobby Bones
He will notice.
Amy
No he won't.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
If I'm telling you as a guy, we're not gonna notice if there's just a bigger diamond in a setting. Unless it is massive, like Indiana Jones or something, we're not gonna notice.
Bobby Bones
Okay, maybe that's. I find it weird.
Amy
Anybody else, if your wife had a size bigger of a diamond, just a diamond, nothing weird about the ring and it was slightly bigger, would you notice?
Morgan
Lunchbox, I hate to tell you I wouldn't notice. I don't even know what the size is now. I don't pay attention to it.
Amy
Look at it. That's correct, Eddie.
Lunchbox
I mean maybe in like two years, but no, it took me a while to even.
Amy
We wouldn't notice. Okay, if you just change, you could also gaslight the crap out of him. I'm not saying that you should do this.
Bobby Bones
Like what? Like you get a new ring and then he says is that new? And you're like, no.
Amy
Well the whole ring's not new. She wants it upgrade.
Bobby Bones
Right? Upgrade the diamond. Right. So she upgrades the diamond without telling him. And then he's like, that looks bigger. And she's like, no, no.
Amy
And then you go, you just don't notice me enough. You turn around.
Bobby Bones
Terrible.
Amy
That's cruel, dude. So that's the unhealthiest.
Bobby Bones
And you'd have to have a way to sneak the money, cuz trust me. He may not notice the ring is bigger, but he's going to notice if there's like a dent that big in your bank account.
Amy
If you're okay with the uncomfortableness of his feelings being hurt, just be like, hey, I feel like we should upgrade my ring. We didn't have jobs like say exactly what you said in the email.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Two, if you don't want that. Because his feelings will be hurt and if he holds on to that stuff, he just get a second ring that goes with that ring that looks like just a bigger diamond.
Bobby Bones
The five year huggy.
Amy
But three, what I would do. You can gaslight the crap out of him.
Bobby Bones
No, he would.
Amy
He would never even know. He won't even need the gas lights. Just in the back pocket.
Lunchbox
He feels bad about himself.
Amy
You make him. I can't believe you don't notice anything. What was I wearing the first date? And you go into that. Oh my gosh. And he's like, you're right. I don't know.
Lunchbox
I'm terrible.
Bobby Bones
So then how do you carry the gaslighting over into the. The money? What if he's like, is there money missing from.
Amy
Well, that Part you got to figure out how to steal.
Lunchbox
Are you accusing me of stealing money?
Morgan
Yes.
Amy
And then you bring up all those golf purchases. You bought a Big Bertha.
Bobby Bones
You just deflect. Yes, of course. Okay.
Amy
There's always room for deflection. Good luck with that. I think you should just. I don't always say this, but I think you should just do it the normal, honest, hurt his feelings for a minute type way.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't know about option three, dude. That's the weird.
Amy
Yeah, I agree. That was just giving her options. All right, thank you, Bones. Here's Kyle in Minneapolis, who left us a voicemail. I had a near death experience yesterday. It wasn't, like, super crazy.
Morgan
Just rammed my head into the sidewall of a concrete pool. Probably had a pretty major concussion. But anyways, just got me thinking about death and life.
Amy
And I was just curious if anybody had any near death experiences.
Morgan
Thank you, guys. Love the show.
Amy
Thank you very much for the voicemail. I'll go first. I have three. I have. When I was a kid, five years old, I fell off a house onto a boat trailer. Ruptured my spleen. I was in the hospital. They had to basically keep me from drowning internally in my own blood is a big deal. Still got a big scar. Almost died there. I remember being put under still, like, vividly when they put the mask on me, and they were like, count down from a hundred. I remember going, a hundred.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Amy
I was out. Like, I remember that of all that time. Secondly, I had a gun to my head, and I got pistol whipped at an ATM outside of a radio event once. And they kept shoving the gun in my head, and I don't know, I was gonna get my head blown off. I could not remember my pin number. I know my pin number, but I've never remembered that pin number because as soon as that gun and as soon as I got pistol whipped, it's gone. And I remember just telling the guy, dude, I don't know it, or I'd give you the money. I had no money. And I was like, dude, I might have 40 bucks in there. I'll give you this money just to get you out of here, because I have a gun to my head, like, reasoning with them. And he said, whack, and then took off. Took my wallet. Is a whole ordeal that counts. And then, yeah, three. I was in the lake once and almost got run over by a jet ski. They saw me last minute and they cut hard. And that freaking back of the jet ski when it cut, hit my nose.
Lunchbox
Are you Exaggerating.
Amy
I remember feeling it.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Amy
Yeah. Like, more. Probably more than my nose, but it hit the front of my face.
Bobby Bones
Oh, scary.
Amy
Yeah. That sucked.
Lunchbox
Literally near death. Literally.
Amy
Or hurt. That one just could have been hurt real bad. The other two, literally near death. But those are my three near death experiences. Amy, have any?
Bobby Bones
I don't look at you. Not that I. Not any that I know.
Amy
That means you're due.
Morgan
Yeah, it's coming.
Lunchbox
It's coming.
Amy
That means you're due. I don't mean to be the person to tell you about law of averages, but yeah. Yeah. Good luck today, Eddie.
Lunchbox
Oh, mine was terrible. Me and my son, we were in a pond and a canoe. We're fishing, and he snagged. Like, he got a bite, right? And it's a heavy fish, and so he's like, dad, it's too heavy for me to get. And I stood up in the canoe, which you should never do. The canoe tipped over, we capsized, and it was murky water, so I kind of, like, just. I just stretched my arms out to see if I can find him. And I finally got my son and I put him over my shoulder and I swam to the shore, dude. And I was. It was winter, so, like, we were in jackets and boots and everything just got heavy. And at this. And we probably try to swim for about three minutes, and then I just got exhausted, and so I thought, this is the end. I put him all the way up over my head just so he could at least stay up and breathe longer than I can. And when I did that, I felt the bottom of the. Of the pond, and I was like, oh, my gosh, that's the bottom. And I started walking as fast as I could, and I walked out of that pond, But I was ready to die at that moment.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
It was crazy.
Amy
That counts as another save.
Bobby Bones
Hero.
Amy
Hey.
Lunchbox
Oh, I didn't even think about that.
Amy
I know. That's what I'm thinking. The whole time you're a lifeguard, you give yourself credit. That's a save.
Lunchbox
You know what, man? I wasn't on the stand, so I never put that together.
Amy
That's a save. Oh, yeah. Wow.
Lunchbox
I didn't think about that.
Amy
Lunchbox.
Morgan
Yeah. One time I was driving back from an Astros game with no teeth. Keith, my old baseball coach, he was driving, and it. We're on 290, so we have two lanes going westbound, and we are in the left lane, and I look ahead, and there are headlights coming straight for us. And I don't have time to say anything. I Just reach over and I grab the wheel and pull it to the right and move us to the right lane. Two seconds later, whoosh. Car going the wrong way in the left lane just kept past us. We would have. I mean, we'd have died immediately head on.
Amy
I got lucky when that happened to me. It was daytime.
Lunchbox
You had a car coming at you, too.
Amy
Yeah. And I was just confused for a second, but I could see it. Where? The headlights is a whole different story at night because you. I could see a car, and I was like, I think this is the one way. And I'm by myself, and so I just pull over. The car just goes right on by. But I saw it from forever. And I was like, I think something ain't right. If it had been nighttime, I'd have probably been dead. And the fact that you just grabbed.
Morgan
The wheel and pulled it over and I didn't. And Keith was like, kid, you didn't even say anything. I was like, I didn't have time. And then for some reason, we just burst out laughing. And we laughed and laughed and laughed. I mean, I don't know if it was just shock, but it was just like.
Amy
You all just started laughing.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, maybe because, like.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, whatever you're gonna say.
Bobby Bones
A high stress situation. You just laugh.
Amy
Yep.
Morgan
It was like, kid, I'm glad you just grabbed that wheel.
Lunchbox
And then how did you guys laugh? Like, how was it?
Morgan
We just started. I was like, that was crazy. And then he's listening. I started. I was like. And we just started laughing. And then we just started laughing. And it was just like.
Bobby Bones
Because you're like, we made it.
Morgan
We made it.
Bobby Bones
Your body's releasing.
Amy
It was like a release.
Lunchbox
Like, you felt okay. That was.
Bobby Bones
I've had that in, like, really serious situation.
Morgan
It was. I mean, I still think about it all the time.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't laugh fully clothed today.
Amy
You walked in the pool. Remember that?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do remember that.
Lunchbox
Were you laughing when you walked in?
Bobby Bones
No. She was like, no, I didn't laugh at that. But I've been like a. There was a very intense situation in my life where, I mean, you would not think anybody would laugh during this. And I started laughing, and I was like, I couldn't help it, so it worried me.
Amy
Well, thank you for the call. You guys can always leave us a voicemail. We love questions like that. 877 77. Bobby, it's time for the good news with Amy.
Bobby Bones
So April Schmidt, she was returning from a trip, and she was at the Pittsburgh airport. She goes to baggage claim, gets her luggage. But I guess when she was grabbing her luggage, something got caught on her wedding ring, and the diamond popped off. When she left the airport, she looked down and realized, like, she had her rings on, but the diamond is missing. She's been married 34 years.
Amy
I would have thought it was the greatest pickpocket of all time. Somehow they got out of the bracket. That's what I thought.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, no, somehow it fell out of the bracket. And then she's like, well, I have to go find it. Like, this is so special to me, obviously. So she goes back to the airport. She's got, like, four maintenance workers looking. They're all around the baggage claim.
Amy
They can for a raw diamond just laying on the ground.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it must have been big.
Bobby Bones
It was. Let's.
Amy
Big.
Bobby Bones
One and a quarter carat.
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Me neither.
Amy
So you don't know what that means? One quarter.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I can. I can sort of picture it.
Lunchbox
Is it bigger than a.
Bobby Bones
But I don't know how to explain.
Amy
Is it bigger than a broccoli head?
Bobby Bones
I would say it's about the pit size of a pea. But you put the pea on a ring that's big. Big. Okay. So then she gets a phone call hours later, after she's back home. Maintenance workers kept looking, and they spotted it somehow underneath the carousel. And they had to make shift a tool, like, out of paint sticks to, like, get back and scoot it, and they retrieved it and called her, and she got her ring back or her diamond.
Amy
I'm so surprised that she got back the diamond when someone could have just taken the diamond and cashed it in, no questions asked. Because it's not like there's a code on it. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
They could have done that, but they didn't. Yeah, that's why this is telling something.
Amy
That's crazy. No, that I'm looking at the diamond here. That's great. Yeah. P's good.
Lunchbox
It's big.
Amy
I don't know. It's in someone's hand. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I guess when I'm saying I don't know, it's like. I don't know how to explain it to y' all, but somebody said P, and that sounds about right. Like a. A P. You eat.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
What is the other? A green pea, number one.
Bobby Bones
Oh, like a fluid diamond.
Amy
That would be like a water red. More than a diamond. Okay. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something.

Amy
Paris Hilton just bought Mark Wahlberg's mansion he moved out of for $63 million. Oh, so she lost her Malibu home to the wildfires earlier this year. So she Went and bought a backup.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
$63.1 million. The property was listed in March for 68 million, but they bought it. It's 3500 square feet. It includes a five hole golf course. It's so cool.
Lunchbox
Already right there I'd want to buy.
Amy
It's so cool. It's got a basketball court that's fully lit, like back behind the guest house. It's so cool. It's got bleachers. Wow. It's got a skate park. Oh. In a resort pool.
Bobby Bones
Well, this looks like it's in a movie.
Amy
It is the coolest house I think I've ever seen. It was built around 2014. It also has a wine and cigar cellar, a smoking lounge, and a guest house. The guest house is bigger than normal houses. And I saw this on top closings Instagram. The movie theater in the place has like this humongous skylight and they have couches and chairs. But it's like when you go to the fancy theater, when you lay in that chair and it roll, it goes.
Lunchbox
Back the recliner to eat food in.
Amy
The big leather chair. Yes.
Lunchbox
How do you know those? You don't go to movie theaters.
Amy
I've been to a couple though.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't do that anymore.
Amy
No, I don't. But I like those because those are usually the ones too where you can claim your seat ahead of time.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they're already.
Amy
Yeah. So there's no like looking around be like, is that one open? Is that one open? And that way I don't even go unless I have a good seat already reserved. But yeah, I hate the theater. But no, this house is the coolest house I've ever seen. The gym looks like a full. If you were to walk into like a 24 Hour Fitness. And just look at the length. It's all the way down.
Lunchbox
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I mean, and to keep that golf course green.
Amy
Oh, it's real groundkeepers.
Bobby Bones
Well, I know, but I'm like thinking, okay, fine, 63 million. I'm trying to picture how much money that is, but I really want to know, like, what's the. What's the monthly upkeep?
Amy
What's.
Lunchbox
Good question.
Amy
What's the monthly upkeep? And then it's on 6.2 acres.
Morgan
Oh.
Amy
It's 12 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms. Goodness. Yeah. 30,500 square feet.
Morgan
Oh, nice looking.
Lunchbox
You can't have one housekeeper, right? You gotta have like 10.
Amy
I don't think 10, but at least two.
Morgan
I mean, don't go in half the rooms.
Amy
Correct. I would think. You don't go into the smoking lounge. I think that's just a flex room. And not meaning, like, what they call a flex room, which is just, like, an extra room. A flex room. And, like, when you're touring, that's a flex. Look at this room.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my gosh, guys. Just the hoa. So she pays HOA dues.
Amy
HOA dues.
Bobby Bones
Because it's like, it's on country.
Amy
I'll just be like, I'm my own country. No, dude.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so apparently it's located in Beverly park, which is in Los Angeles, and the HOA dues are supposed to be around 6, $500 per month. That's just HOA.
Amy
So you're looking at 70 grand a year in HOA.
Bobby Bones
That's for, like, security of the exclusive gated communities.
Morgan
That makes sense.
Lunchbox
But then if you can buy a house like that, that HOA is nothing.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, of course. I know.
Amy
Still, 70 grand for HOA. And they're gonna find me because I didn't mow the yard.
Morgan
Exactly.
Amy
You know What? Take your 50. Fine. And shove it.
Lunchbox
Or you left your trash can on the streets.
Amy
Of course.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so this is just an example of another mega mansion out there. This is not Paris's specifically, but the utilities alone for a huge house out in LA is like $50,000 a month just to keep it cool in the summer.
Morgan
Oh.
Amy
Estimates for the annual maintenance cost on. On this mansion specifically is 1.5 million a year.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
Oh, my God.
Amy
Yeah. And you're right about the HOA fees. Oh, man, that's wild. And again, probably two housekeepers and then a pool person.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. And then the landscaping's got to go on 24 7, right?
Amy
Yeah. It's like, if you're not working on one, because I used to do golf course maintenance, and it wasn't every hole got worked on every day, but everybody worked all the time, and you just shifted your priorities. Like, we're doing holes one through six today. We'll do seven through 12.
Lunchbox
This is crazy.
Amy
You gotta have so much money. That's crazy. I would love to go just, like, tour it and maybe hit a few.
Lunchbox
Shots on the golf course.
Amy
Yes. Play basketball. Yeah. That's awesome. Paris Hilton.
Lunchbox
You deserve it.
Amy
Good for you.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Yesterday we did a fitness challenge where you get on your knees and you jump to your feet. And three of us passed. Me, Eddie, and Morgan. And three of us didn't. Amy, Lunchbox, and Abby and Scuba passed too. Oh, yeah. Scuba hopped in late. Yeah. So, wow. We got four that passed three. That didn't. Amy's hurt today?
Lunchbox
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
Like, it's just not good.
Amy
But she went home and tried it again.
Bobby Bones
Well, because I.
Morgan
Okay, so you never gave up.
Bobby Bones
Well, I tried that here.
Amy
I admire that.
Bobby Bones
And then I had to try one more time, and it's just not possible. However your bodies are designed, that's great. Mine is not designed to do that.
Amy
And do you think you just don't have the confidence?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. My brain, you know. Tell your brain or you don't even sometimes have to tell it to do it. It just does it. I was actively trying to tell my brain to do it, and it just wouldn't happen. Almost like if. If I was trying to bungee jump, someone would just have to push me because, like, my brain wouldn't let me go just like that. Like you. I don't know. I don't know if. I felt very disconnected to my body.
Amy
You were closer to landing it than Lunchbo.
Morgan
I disagree with that.
Bobby Bones
That's great.
Amy
Did you see the video clips of you guys back?
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Amy
I mean, you tried and you got you at least Lunchbox look like he was shot every time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, now I feel like I've been shot.
Amy
Yeah. What part hurt?
Bobby Bones
My lower back, my right side down my hip. It's a normally an area that will flare up for me at times, but I've been doing so good, it hasn't hurt in a while. And I'm like, whatever I did. Well, way to go. Now I've just set myself back.
Amy
And what advice do you give everybody listening?
Bobby Bones
Don't try it unless you, like. If you're down there and you feel brain, body connection, just let it go. Don't. That just means you likely are not gonna be able to do it, and then you're gonna be in pain. Yes, I'm hurt.
Amy
Are you on the disabled list? Are you not doing things now because of it?
Bobby Bones
Well, like, what do you mean?
Amy
I don't know. Any activities. Are you on the DL from any physical activities? For a while?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yes.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And like, is there another challenge?
Amy
No. Amy did bring in this bar, though.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I saw that.
Amy
Why? It's one of those things you do pull ups on. You put it in your doorway, and then you do pull ups on them. Like, back in, like, the 90s, this was invented. But why do you have that?
Bobby Bones
Because we talked about that story the other day about if you hang from a bar for two minutes, it's really good for your posture. And I think we Were all like, could we even hang from a bar for two minutes? And I have no idea if I could hang for two minutes. It said in the article I read, you would have to likely build up to it. But I feel like we're all pretty good shape.
Lunchbox
You know what?
Amy
Amy brings in a physical activity the day she's hurt. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
She's like, I can't move, but it. Hanging from it. What if that helps my back because it's like a release and stretches it out. But I could be wrong.
Amy
We'd have to find a doorway that it could go in. Our door is like super secure. So. Scuba, can you see if you can find us a doorway? This will go in like one of those pull up bars. Yeah. Have you not seen it? She has it down here on the floor.
Lunchbox
It's right here. Oh, no, I haven't seen it.
Amy
No. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, like. Oh, like. Okay. Yeah.
Amy
If you could find us one of those. Why don't we position it?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think that we can find one of the offices here or the conference rooms. We could put it in there.
Amy
Yeah. You guys want to hang?
Lunchbox
We can hang. I don't think I can do two minutes.
Bobby Bones
How long do you think you could hang?
Amy
I have no idea. I mean, I hang out all day.
Bobby Bones
They say two minutes a day.
Morgan
You still have that? I mean, that is dusty. And like we're. I can't believe you've kept it.
Bobby Bones
No, I. I found it from. No, it's not mine. I borrowed it.
Amy
Well, you found it. Your story changed.
Lunchbox
Did you steal it?
Amy
Yes. I feel like she's being interrogated and somehow we just convinced her to tell the truth.
Bobby Bones
No, I was looking for one and asking around and I was like, oh, I finally found one because I wanted to bring one in.
Lunchbox
Oh, I don't believe it.
Morgan
This is getting shady.
Amy
Yeah, something happened.
Lunchbox
Someone got their house robbed.
Morgan
Recently.
Amy
There was a story where these people were hurt, though physically, for the turbulence. You guys see the story? And this is, this is in America, unexpected turbulence where it hits. And if you don't have your seat belt on, which is why they say unless you have to undo your seatbelt, leave it on, because you don't know when turbulence is going to hit. And so American Airlines Flight 1286 nearing Raleigh, you know, flying in North Carolina hit turbulence so bad that it threw people up. The crew, total controller, some people were hurt, prompting emergency teams to meet the plane after it landed. Three flight attendants, two passengers were taken to a local hospital. The airline thanked its crew for keeping calm. The Federal aviation admission has opened an investigation into what caused the jolt. That's from ABC News.
Lunchbox
What caused the jolt?
Amy
It is, but most turbulence, if I'm correct about this, talking through pilots. Most turbulence, especially in an area where planes are going. A lot is communicated like there's turbulence here when you come through this area. And this again, was nearish the airport that it should have been reported. So I think aliens.
Lunchbox
Oh. Shook the plane.
Amy
If you're. Well, if you're asking me, we never saw it go through.
Bobby Bones
Let's probably tell them to cancel the investigation. Exactly.
Amy
I got it all figured out. Let's see if we can hang that thing and see how long we can hang.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Okay. Thank you, guys. Let's do this. How about Morgan Wallen? Thought you should know. And can we get a. You get a chiropractor?
Bobby Bones
I need one. Yeah, Abby. I've been going to one that Abby recommended to me, and I. I was thinking about texting to see if I could get in asap.
Amy
How did you already not text?
Morgan
Yeah. What are you waiting.
Amy
You're walking around like an old man today?
Bobby Bones
Well, because honestly, I'm trying to figure out I wouldn't be able to go today.
Amy
Oh, okay. Well, there you have it. So you can't get ASAP if you don't go today.
Bobby Bones
I know. I. I just to figure out my schedule. That's why if I text and he's like, when can you come in? And I'll be like, I don't know.
Amy
I don't know. So Eddie's face is swollen. Have you guys noticed? No, he said it's from Topo Chico. Yeah, food recall.
Lunchbox
So. So what the doctor said is I have a infected salivary gland.
Amy
You think from Topo Chico?
Lunchbox
Well, I didn't even think about it, but then I was scrolling the news and I saw Topo Chico had a recall because they had bacteria in their water. So the doctor.
Amy
Where though? Did they say specifically what state?
Lunchbox
I don't know, dude. But the.
Dan Flores
The breeding.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, the dates that it had on there. This is what caught my eye were the dates that. Guess what? I was drinking Topo Chico because I bought a whole case from the store.
Amy
Did your face hurt?
Lunchbox
It's getting better now, but. Oh, yeah, dude. And even if I take a bite of like, say, a chile limon chip, dude, forget it.
Amy
Why did you go back to like, something Mexican?
Lunchbox
Well, because that's what I ate recently. I had one of those chips, like a Takis. Oh, dude, it hurt me.
Bobby Bones
It was like the spicy.
Amy
I Thought he was going to do the Topo Chico. He's like, I'm gonna keep it in brand.
Bobby Bones
Keep it in brand.
Morgan
I got a question, Eddie. Where were you when you drank the Topo Chico?
Amy
Here.
Lunchbox
I was here in Nashville.
Morgan
Oh, man. The recall effects. Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas.
Lunchbox
No, I. I get that. But what if I'm the first case in Tennessee?
Amy
That's also a semi valid point.
Bobby Bones
Now they're gonna have contamination. They were bottled in Monterey, Mexico.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Amy
Oh, you think they got Montezuma's Revenge in the water?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
Was that a thing when you would go down to Mexico, don't drink the water because of Montezuma's Revenge?
Lunchbox
I don't know what Montesuma's Revenge is.
Amy
What?
Lunchbox
But yeah, don't drink the water and don't eat the seafood.
Amy
That's what it was called. Montezuma's Revenge.
Lunchbox
What is that?
Amy
The Revenge of Montezuma? Duh. The guy who did the revenging?
Lunchbox
No. Never heard of that.
Amy
What's really wrong with your face?
Lunchbox
Salivary gland. Infected. They said that if it doesn't get better in the next couple days, it could be salivary stones, kind of like kidney stones or gallstones.
Amy
Does it come out of your wiener?
Lunchbox
No, it comes out of my salivary gland.
Morgan
Can you just spit it out?
Lunchbox
They said that it kind of tastes like sand. When it gets discharged, that's when the stone gets loose.
Bobby Bones
What?
Lunchbox
This is a weird thing, dude. But I got on antibiotics quick because of this Topo Chico thing, so now I'm hoping that we get it done easily and it's not.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I get Eddie's reaction to this. It may seem a little dramatic to us, but he did almost die from an infection before, so he probably wants to just stay ahead of it.
Lunchbox
Mrsa.
Amy
Yeah. There's a difference, though. Screaming food recall. When you read, like, the first part of an article and then probably just literally something with your face.
Lunchbox
I thought the coincidence was too, too crazy.
Amy
Ready for a learning minute? Montezuma's Revenge is most commonly used to describe a bout of diarrhea or gastrointestinal distress that travelers, especially those from the US Or Europe, might experience after visiting Mexico. Why Montezuma? It's a dark humored reference to Montezuma ii, the Aztec emperor who was overthrown by Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes. The idea is that the Revenge of Montezuma getting back at foreign invaders just threw your stomach. So that's Montezuma's Revenge. I wondered if you ever got that in Mexico.
Lunchbox
I never really got sick, but I always wondered why the people that lived there didn't get sick. But everyone traveled. They're like, oh, I drank the water in Mexico.
Amy
They never said, I got Montezuma's Revenge.
Lunchbox
Never heard that.
Amy
How did I know about Montezuma's Revenge?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Amy
Well, I hope you're okay.
Lunchbox
Thank you, dude. Me, too. And I start thinking, if it is Topo Chico, we're going to have to take some action.
Amy
I don't think it's Topo Chico.
Morgan
I don't either, and I'm not in on that action.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
Yeah, I love Topo Chico. I take some free Topo Chico.
Lunchbox
Eddie versus Coca Cola.
Amy
Oh, yeah. They bought it, huh?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it sounds good.
Amy
Hey, speaking of food, there's a company that has, like, rented out part of our building, our office space. Have you seen them? It's not us, but they've rented out part of the office space because they're in town.
Lunchbox
They're right here. Right down the hall.
Morgan
Yeah, you can't miss them.
Bobby Bones
A red rope.
Lunchbox
So, yes, there's a reason why that red rope is.
Morgan
Yeah, we've been. We've been stanchioned off or something. I don't know what's going on.
Amy
No, it's not us. Somebody rented off the space. And what I heard was, for their people, they had put out this big plate of food so they can get through the day, have something to eat. Lunchbox goes in barges, just eating their food.
Bobby Bones
Is that why the red rope was put up?
Morgan
I might have gotten.
Amy
No, no. Might.
Morgan
No, no. Okay. I might have gone over there, and there were some chicken sandwiches, and they had been sitting there for a while, and I was like, okay, they're obviously not going to eat them. So I opened the box, got a chicken sandwich, and then I got. They had a fruit bowl. It was like, strawberries, blueberries, pineapples all cut up in a bowl. So I was putting them on the plate, and that's when I got the tap on the shoulder. Excuse me. That's not for you. That's for the people in the conference room.
Amy
Yeah, they don't even work here. They'd like. They.
Morgan
And I said, well, it's all out here. Yeah, yeah. It's a special. It's for them only. It's not for everybody. Well, why put it out there where everybody walks by and, like, it doesn't have a sign. It didn't say, hey, do not touch this food.
Amy
Do you think any food out is just yours in the building?
Morgan
Well, yeah, when it's just set out on a table and it's just, like, there.
Amy
But it's not just there. It literally was right next to the conference room. They rented. The whole space is rented.
Morgan
Well, yeah, but we walk right by there to go to the bathroom.
Amy
And because we walk by it, it's ours.
Morgan
Yeah, I figured that was breakfast for everybody in the building. All I heard.
Amy
But nobody told you that.
Morgan
I know, but before we came in this building, all I heard about is all these catered meals.
Amy
So I thought, oh, but that hasn't happened once since.
Morgan
That's why I thought the catered meals.
Amy
That was the one time.
Morgan
And I was like, man, my stomach was, you know, a little bit hungry.
Bobby Bones
Who was it that said it to me? I can't remember which one of the guys it was, but I was walking by and I wanted to run down to Whole Foods during a break, but I didn't think I had time. And I was like, oh, I'm starving, but there's not enough time. And somebody said, there's food, right?
Morgan
There's food, right?
Amy
He was trying to sucker you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I couldn't remember it was him, but he's owning up to it. So Lunch walk said, there's food right there. And I said, I don't think that's for us.
Amy
Yeah. Why you thought that?
Bobby Bones
Because I think like a normal human. Normal.
Amy
Yeah. And generally, any food out, we just. It's not just ours because it's in our building.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Amy
Like, it may be a department of.
Bobby Bones
People in the conference room. And I could see their logos everywhere. Plates of fruit and stuff. Yeah. And then now there's a red rope.
Lunchbox
Not only that, there were chips in the conference room that had a big sign that said do not touch.
Morgan
Yeah, they did label those finally.
Amy
Did you touch?
Morgan
No, I didn't touch, But I went up to grab a bag, and then I saw the sign says, do not touch.
Amy
So basically, they have a bouncer with a red rope keeping Lunchbox away from their food.
Morgan
Yes.
Amy
And then kind of embarrassing.
Morgan
There's a stanchion up. It's like, gosh, what? Isn't it called a stanchion?
Bobby Bones
The red rope.
Lunchbox
The red rope.
Amy
I never heard that term.
Bobby Bones
I think he knows from, like, his clubbing days.
Morgan
Yeah, club.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
And I was like, oh, why are they putting that up? They don't want us to go that way. Now.
Bobby Bones
Now what's really embarrassing?
Amy
Oh, it stanchions like the thing you unclip and you can walk Through.
Bobby Bones
Yes. So then I just went to the bathroom, and I went the long way around because I saw the red rope. And then I go to the bathroom, and I see Lunchbox coming from that direction. And I said, did you not see the red rope? He's like, nah, who cares? And I'm like, he doesn't even. It's just embarrassing because they're all in there having meetings, and I know they're seeing him.
Morgan
Oh, it's embarrassing that they stanchion off the hallway. Like, oh, you know what I mean? Can't walk down this hallway.
Lunchbox
Ruined it for all of us.
Amy
Hey, what's the deal with the green room, by the way?
Morgan
Oh, yeah, that's another thing.
Amy
Is it Scuba, will you tell me about the green room?
Morgan
About the green room?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, Maybe that's locked. I think Lunchbox is upset about that.
Amy
He can't go eat all the guests.
Morgan
We finally have good snacks in the green room. And I'm like, oh, we don't.
Amy
It's for guests to come here.
Morgan
And I was like, good, I'm going to go eat a snack. Door's locked. Why are we locking the green room?
Amy
You know why? The same reason they put up a stanchion.
Morgan
Dude, I don't understand. Like, what's the point of having food if you can't eat it?
Amy
The food's not for you.
Morgan
Do I work here?
Lunchbox
It's for our guests, though. Like, we have. I got a new client craving to do this, and you have gone in there and eaten all the food from previous clients, and there's nothing for anyone else. And they come in here for his kids.
Amy
A raccoon.
Lunchbox
He's feeding his children from our freezer.
Amy
Yes. He takes all the food home and then feeds the whole family.
Morgan
Stupid. Yeah, like, if I'm leaving and there's like, three bags of cookies, you know, hey, I got three kids. Boom, here's a snack.
Amy
That's not what that is.
Morgan
It's like, snacks with dad. It's, like, from work. It's like, it's a special treat.
Lunchbox
Oh, like donuts with dad.
Morgan
Yes.
Amy
Yeah, I heard that Lunchbox didn't really have lockers here, too.
Bobby Bones
Yes, we do have.
Amy
No, no, but they, like, use them. Like high school.
Bobby Bones
They all have them, but yes, they use them.
Lunchbox
They use them. What do they put in there, though?
Bobby Bones
They have snacks. Lunchbox packs. Yes, there are snacks in there.
Amy
There's a chicken sandwiches of cookies.
Morgan
Yeah, I got snacks in there.
Amy
I got Funny Amy.
Morgan
I got clothes in there. I mean, I got everything. It's a. It's a locker. It's perfect that way. You don't to bring yourself every day to work. You can just leave it here and go get it out of the locker.
Amy
Ray, it was explained to me, grab these lockers, everybody's gonna want one. Well, at the end of the day, nobody did. So there's four of us that are in this huge line of lockers. This place, this whole. This whole work environment is a disaster.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because of you.
Amy
The food thing. They can't even give us free food, honestly. Because of you. Because you took it all home.
Morgan
Okay. I mean, that's their fault.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox, did you see our receptionist eating the chicken sandwich?
Morgan
I did. That's another thing. I'm like, oh, shit, you get the chicken sandwiches.
Bobby Bones
But no, I'm asking. Did you. Did you ask her about it though?
Morgan
No.
Bobby Bones
Like. But surely. What I'm picturing is they probably came in and they're like, hey. She probably welcomed them in, got them all set up, and she probably. They probably said to her, help yourself to some breakfast. I'm just thinking she saw her doing it. Maybe that's why Lunchbox thought, that's not why.
Amy
You know why I did it. The same reason he's done it every time, every day.
Morgan
You make a great point.
Amy
She's got give him ammunition.
Morgan
She had the chicken sandwich, and then the other day they had a Panera spread out there. And guess who was eating it? The receptionist.
Amy
She probably had to bring them in and help them do stuff.
Bobby Bones
Thinks they invited her into that because she has helped.
Amy
And you think he saw that and went, well, by my deductive reasoning, I believe we all deserve a sandwich.
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Or Lunchbox, do you think she's the reason we have the stanchion out here?
Morgan
Oh, that could be.
Amy
Is she your enemy?
Morgan
She might be my rival.
Bobby Bones
Like, I want to know where this mansion came from. Like, did those people bring it or did we have one of us talked about it?
Amy
Do you think they know who you are?
Bobby Bones
It's embarrassing.
Morgan
Oh, for sure.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Morgan
Why would they not? They're in our building right now.
Lunchbox
They're like. They're the. It's the guy that wears the same hoodie every day.
Bobby Bones
Wait, they're probably having some really professional meeting, but I kind of want to go over there and be like, excuse me, would any of you volunteer to come say if you know this guy.
Amy
Or not and bring him up like a police. Like you identify him and I think they can you guys identify this guy.

On Saturday afternoon in Evansville, Indiana, somebody helped stop a dangerously intoxicated driver before he could hurt anybody. The Police got multiple 911 call saying they saw a truck just swerving and nearly hitting several cars. Fortunately, a concerned citizen was able to stop the vehicle and then take the keys. This is from wthr. When officers arrived, they found the guy. Obvious signs of impairment. They put him in custody, and because of the severity of his condition, the driver was admitted to the hospital. Five times the legal limit. So that's eight times five is 45. I knew you would get it. I was trying to. Eddie, the one that has trouble with numbers.
Lunchbox
Dyscalcula.
Amy
You just cut off our guy over here.
Bobby Bones
I have exactly what Eddie has.
Amy
You don't have. Just calculate. You have.
Bobby Bones
No, I have both.
Amy
Yeah, both do. I'm sorry.
Morgan
Oh, man.
Amy
That's a tough day for all of us.
Lunchbox
Two of us.
Morgan
You guys both have two diseases.
Bobby Bones
It's a disorder.
Lunchbox
Disease.
Bobby Bones
It's not a disease. There's this distinct difference between a disorder and a disease.
Amy
But I don't know. This is so severe. Both of you. I think it's a disease.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't know if mine is totally severe. We've survived.
Morgan
Good point.
Lunchbox
Surviving.
Bobby Bones
Figured out how to function.
Amy
Let me ask you guys this question. What if you found. By the way, hold on. Shout out to them for stopping this driver. This guy, like, pulled him over, was like, get over. Get over. And then takes his keys from him, Right?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Shout out wthr. Boom. What if you guys found out that after all these years of doing this show, that this was actually like a special ed show where I took in people with diseases.
Bobby Bones
Disorders.
Amy
Yeah. And made them feel special.
Bobby Bones
But you don't make us feel special.
Amy
What if that's what you found, like.
Lunchbox
Right now you're trying to make fun of me. I wouldn't get seven. What is it? Seven times right now?
Bobby Bones
You're telling us that you've gathered a show of special needs.
Lunchbox
Yeah, man.
Bobby Bones
Like. Which is okay. Everybody has their own, like, disease. Everybody has a learning.
Amy
Like, on the printer. Someone left it on there. Yeah. Amy and Eddie were hired because they were. Because of their. Their special disability. And Lunchbox and Bobby were the smart ones who brought them in to. Really?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
Nobody would be shocked.
Lunchbox
No. I'd be pissed.
Amy
No, but you were brought in, right? You were good at. Because nobody else would give you a shot in the real world.
Bobby Bones
I think that part of our disorder, though. Eddie, listen. Part of our disorders, they have developed parts of our personality, so.
Amy
Yeah, I hear you, but that's why Lunchbox and I took you guys in.
Bobby Bones
That's why he tested.
Amy
He came Out.
Morgan
Nothing. Yeah, I was. Not anything wrong.
Amy
The only dis he has are below the waves.
Lunchbox
Exactly. So that's why we have him on the show.
Amy
No, I don't hire people for that.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
But for you guys, I'm just saying, what if you found that out?
Bobby Bones
Like, you were, like, I would be okay with them. Like, wow, this has been a really great opportunity for me.
Amy
And thankfully, there are people looking out for people like us.
Lunchbox
I would need a week to think about it.
Bobby Bones
I mean, Eddie, what else would you have done the last hour? I mean, you were a camera guy for the news.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't need numbers for cameras. No. No words for cameras.
Bobby Bones
And also, they.
Amy
They asked me. They're about to let you go, and so they asked me.
Morgan
Oh, man.
Amy
It gets worse, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
And I also keep calling it dyscalcula, and it's not that, but our dyslexia pre prevents us from pronouncing it correctly because it's. It said another one.
Amy
It's called dyscalculia.
Bobby Bones
Yes. But we keep going Dyscalcula, because, like, that's your disease to read it. It's too hard for us.
Amy
That's okay. All right, let's continue on with the show.
Scuba Steve

Bobby Bones
Okay, that just came to me as you were counting down.
Amy
Yeah, some people can't see. Well, I would say most people can't see that. When we reach a point in the question I just hold up and count down my fingers. So Amy was watching the clock tick.
Bobby Bones

Yeah, then Hudson came out of her mouth. There are three left. I'll walk you through them. Aniston at 1, Lopez at 2, Lawrence at 3, Garner at 4, Hudson at 8, Nettles at 9, Jennifer Gray at 10. There are three answers left on the board. Amy, you could run. I know the category for the first time ever in Feud history.

Lunchbox
Oh, are you done?
Bobby Bones
I. I don't my. Jen. Jen, Jen, Jen. Jennifer. Jennifer Wright.
Amy

Morgan
Yeah, man, this one's a hottie. Give me Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Bobby Bones
Oh yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, good one.
Amy
The strategy though is dude to punt. Yeah. Yeah. You're not gonna win now.
Morgan
I'm not gonna win either way.
Amy
You could win in round three. There's plenty of points to win it. Not anymore though. Show me Jennifer left you at. Because that have been 18 and 5 would have been 15 and 7 would have been 21. You dominated.
Morgan
Boom. That's all I got. How many? How many points I get?
Amy
6.
Morgan
Boom. That's what I'm talking about.
Lunchbox
You just didn't want to shut out.

Amy
Are you out of Jennifer's.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Okay. Lunchbox.
Morgan
Yeah. Trying to think.
Amy
There are two points you can get within one of Amy. If he had left that first one. Somebody still got one, dummy. Man.
Morgan
Let me think. Jennifer. Jennifer Jones.
Amy
Ready?
Lunchbox
Jennifer Parton.
Amy
Incorrect.
Lunchbox
Dolly.
Amy
Okay, we're at round three.
Lunchbox
Come on. Here we go. This is where it gets serious, where it gets tripled.
Amy
Now you can finish in last place and still not get to play the next round. And Ed, you have zero points.
Lunchbox
That's okay. I got names.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
Wow. That's where I'm.
Amy
I don't have Jennifers lunchbox. You can actually still win.
Morgan
I know, but I don't have another Jennifer. That's why I had to go with that because I couldn't leave her on the board and have Amy get it Amy.
Bobby Bones
Jennifer. I don't even know what we said, and I said them all.
Amy
Jennifer Anderson. Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Garner. Lunchbox did say Jennifer Love Hewitt, so your statement is not fully accurate. Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Nettles and Jennifer Gray. There's two left. You know how you say a word so many times, it feels funny saying that's how Jennifer feels right now.
Bobby Bones
Jennifer.
Amy
Yep. Jennifer for triple points, round three, triple points.
Bobby Bones
Jennifer. Jennifer. Her. Jennifer Daniels.
Amy
Who's that?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
Yeah, it's me. Let me think. What? Where else do I see a Jennifer at? Like, where do you see Jennifer Gardner. Lopez. Jennifer Aniston. Gosh, there has to be another Jennifer out there, man.
Amy
There are two actually on the list.
Morgan
There's actually triple points.
Lunchbox
That's it? Just two?
Amy
There's two. And you can win. You can still win the game if you get them both.
Lunchbox
This is crazy.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Eddie, you can't win the game, but you can not finish in last place. Okay. All right.
Morgan
Yeah. And I just need to find a Jennifer out there. A Jennifer? Jeez, I don't know a single Jennifer. Jennifer Graham.
Amy
Who's that?
Morgan
No idea. Hoping that's a name. Hit it, Eddie.
Amy
You can talk through yours. There are two left on the board, five and seven.
Lunchbox
So I have one Jennifer and one two Jenny's. So I don't know if Jenny counts, because all the ones that you've picked have been Jennifer. So what do you have?
Bobby Bones
Jenny from the block?
Amy
Just walk through your options here.
Lunchbox
Jennifer Lopez.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
They can't steal them from you, so go ahead.
Lunchbox
So I have Stifler's mom, who's really famous now because of White Lotus, and he talks like this. And I think her name's Jennifer. Jennifer Coolidge is what I have written down. But I also have Jenny McCarthy, and I know she's very famous.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Yeah, just say one, right?
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
But one of them might not be on there. And then I'm out and I'm done.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
I want to keep playing.
Bobby Bones
I won.
Amy
You. You won. But they're playing. Whoever finishes last doesn't get to play next round.
Lunchbox
You understand?
Bobby Bones
I get it.
Amy
Amy's like, why are you guys stalling? No, they're stalling for their life.
Lunchbox
So who is more famous? They might both be on the list.
Bobby Bones
I mean, White Lotus is so popular right now.
Morgan
Amy.
Bobby Bones
What?
Lunchbox
She's trying to steer me the wrong way.
Amy
She doesn't know the answer, though, first of all. So how can she steer you when she doesn't know the answer?
Lunchbox
She doesn't want. Because she wants me to say Jennifer Cool.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't. I don't know what it is, but I. That's what I would guess.
Amy
Ten famous people named Jennifer. We asked 2, 000 Bobby Bone show listeners. Eddie, I need an answer.
Lunchbox
Give me Jenny McCarthy. Jenny McCarthy.
Amy
Show me Jenny McCarthy. At number five, Jennifer Coolidge. There's not a single Jenny on here. It's all Jennifer.
Lunchbox
I said that.
Amy
Anybody want to guess another one?
Bobby Bones
I tried.
Morgan
I don't know another one.
Amy
I just saw this one in Top Gun.
Lunchbox
Jennifer Connelly.
Amy
Correct. Number seven, Eddie, with zero. But you had a chance. Why'd you go with not even a name on there? There wasn't a single Jenny that had been said.
Lunchbox
I know, I know.
Amy
And the category was Jennifer. It doesn't matter.
Morgan
Correct.
Amy
I was like, Amy didn't know.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Morgan
But she was like, I would go Jennifer Coolidge.
Bobby Bones
And he didn't listen to me.
Amy
If she knew, it'd be different. But Amy, her player song.
Morgan
My strategy wasn't so bad, was it?
Amy
You didn't. You didn't win.
Morgan
I didn't get eliminated.
Amy
We're gonna start doing it. Winner wins and the other two get eliminated for the next two.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Amy
Because I'm not gonna make second place. This prize. It's supposed to be embarrassing if you don't win.
Morgan
No, I wasn't happy that I'd win.
Amy
He got a participation medal and he's always celebrating.
Morgan
Hey, sometimes you have to.
Amy
I thought you don't like participation trophies.
Morgan
I don't, but When Amy got seven out of the 10, I was like, oh, I don't have. No. I only knew one Jennifer Bones.
Amy
So this woman died. It's Sad. She was 84 years old, and she had about a million bucks of money and property in her will. And she left it all to a. A much younger male escort. Whoa. And now our family's all mad. Imagine you're the family. And Meemaw leaves all our money to a dancing banana hammock. Oh.
Bobby Bones
Did she have a relationship with him?
Morgan
Obviously.
Amy
So an 84 year old widow, Janet Henry, left her one million dollar estate to Simon Garston, a much younger male escort and companion in her 2021 will.
Bobby Bones
That's much younger. Mean, because she's 84. So like, is he 50? Is he 20?
Amy
I would imagine if he has any Consist. Turkey's probably not over 45. Correct.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Her niece and nephew, Jillian and Ross McCrone, are challenging the will. Niece and nephew claiming undue influence, the court has allowed their Case to proceed to trial. You know, what if Granny was made happy by the much younger male escort and she. Yes, thank you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But if he took advantage of her.
Amy
But we don't know he took advantage of her. 84 year olds have wills they can leave to do whoever they want.
Bobby Bones
I know. Niece and nephew is a little red flag to me.
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
And niece and nephew are doing it.
Bobby Bones
I know, because I just pictured them coming out of nowhere being like, hey.
Amy
Garston denies these allegations. And Garston is the Garston. Simon Garston. He denies the allegations. And Douglas Wilson, a former trainer and a friend of Henry, who is the old lady, is also a potential beneficiary of a different part of her estate.
Bobby Bones
The trainer. So a trainer and an escort.
Eddie
Wow.
Amy
Well, Granny had a good end.
Lunchbox
I love triangles.
Amy
He's in his early 30s.
Bobby Bones
Okay, okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. He loved Granny.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
If he made Granny happy. If both of them did.
Lunchbox
Sure he did.
Amy
And Granny chose to leave them money. That's her right to do.
Morgan
Yeah, but was she in her right mind?
Bobby Bones
Right.
Amy
Or was she in her best mind?
Morgan
That's a great point.
Amy
Finally she was like, I release me from these chains. If an old man did this, you guys would be like, oh, classic. He left to a young hot. Because Granny's a granny and not a grandpa. You guys have second thoughts?
Bobby Bones
No. I think both. I would want to know their mental state upon death. Like any sort of early sign or. Early signs or signs of dementia.
Amy
What if it was just Granny parties hard.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, then there you go. But that's why they're gonna look into it.
Amy
Wilson alleges that Garston. That's Simon. Simon Garston manipulated Henry, the old lady, into changing her estate plans, including convincing her to engage in dangerous, dangerous health practices.
Lunchbox
Is that like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe that is dangerous.
Amy
Anything. I mean, but is it dangerous or is it just living life until you don't live anymore? What a way to go. Granny.
Bobby Bones
I need to. Granny gone wild with these dangerous health practices are.
Amy
The court has approved the involvement in the case. The trial is set to begin next week.
Lunchbox
Can we watch this on TV?
Bobby Bones
This?
Amy
I would watch CP24 with that story. Until otherwise I'm team Dead Granny. Because there's no reason to question it unless there is absolutely for sure, without a shadow or shred of a doubt, that Granny didn't want to leave it to these guys and she has every right to do so. You don't reach an age where. No longer, if you're right mind you get to pick who you leave your money to.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
And if it's a male escort, his buddy who's a trainer.
Lunchbox
That's just a. I mean this is a movie, dude.
Amy
What if there's an old man who decides there's a couple strippers and he wants to leave him? He's 84 and he's same.
Lunchbox
You have to investigate is he in his right mind before he gives him all his money.
Amy
It's.
Lunchbox
Dude.
Amy
It's a nephew and a niece though. Yeah, like they didn't even get any money.
Lunchbox
No, but maybe they're the, the leaders of the family. Like hey, they're not.
Amy
They're not.
Bobby Bones
Well you don't know that for sure. I believe it is a red flag. Nephew, niece.
Amy
But because they're mad they didn't get.
Bobby Bones
Left in the will into it is worth looking into just because Simon, I.
Morgan
Get if they're kids but niece and nephew, I feel like it's.
Amy
I agree with if they're kids, we'll look into it. We're still gonna start with Granny.
Bobby Bones
I could see my niece like if I'm 84 and suddenly change my will to where I'm get leaving something to a 30 year old escort. My niece Adeline, I didn't know suddenly.
Amy
Though you made that part up.
Morgan
Yeah, you almost did that last year.
Amy
We don't know. It was a sudden change and that's true. When you had your little boy toy, we saw him driving your car to work and I still said nothing. Amy live her granny years.
Bobby Bones
Granny, that's not what that was.
Amy
Okay, if we checked your will in that time she changed. Amy probably changed her will.
Bobby Bones
And yes, you should have checked my mental state.
Amy
Your mental state though was just you living life. Okay, I'm team Granny, your team news and nephew.
Bobby Bones

How old was his?
Morgan
He was 90.
Amy
Dude, he was like old, old.
Morgan
Golly, I was so bad.
Amy
And she was very young. She did not get any money though. Like she did not receive any money from her husband Jay Howard Marshall's estate. She claimed he had promised her half of his fortune. He left everything to his son and courts ultimately decided with oh well. But his will though he left it to his son?
Bobby Bones
Not even so he never changed it. But he promised her. It just wasn't in writing. Did they participate in Risky Health?
Amy
Oh, I'm sure I don't know what that means. Risky Health that can be for grandma walking on a treadmill, you know, breaking.
Lunchbox
A hip, getting the mail mails from the mailbox.
Amy
Yeah, I'm team. I'm team grandma on this one. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead Dory of the day.
Morgan
This story comes to us from Yellowstone National Park. A 30 year old man from New Jersey visiting the park, and he's like, oh, look at that bison. I'll get closer and closer. And then what happened? Bison went bison.
Amy
You try to take a selfie or just get close?
Morgan
They say he was trying to get close for a picture. Doesn't say selfie or if someone was gonna take the picture of him, but the bison went bison. And he was treated for minor injuries.
Lunchbox
Probably selfie.
Bobby Bones
Had to be a selfie. Cause otherwise he could just zoom in.
Amy
Was anybody with him?
Morgan
It does not say, so selfie.
Lunchbox
That's it.
Amy
Selfie.
Morgan
Yeah. And that's just the second guy in, like the last month that's been gored at Yellowstone.
Bobby Bones
Oh, gosh, that's terrible.
Amy
It's almost like they should say, hey, don't take selfies. Oh, they have with animals.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Morgan
All right, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Amy
Yesterday on the podcast, Eddie was talking about the street parking in front of his house and who actually gets that spot. And the conclusion was, well, nobody gets it. Nobody owns it since it's the street. We had a whole talk about that. We got a bunch of voicemails about that. Here's the first one. Why doesn't Eddie leave his car out on the driveway and let his son park in the garage? Wouldn't that be the easiest thing and no one would have to fight over anything. All right, love the show. Bye.
Lunchbox
Fair question. I drive a Jeep, has no top on it, so I kind of need the garage.
Amy
What if you put the top on it?
Lunchbox
No, no, that's the why I have a Jeep.
Amy
Okay, fair enough.
Bobby Bones
Wait, what do you do if it, like, randomly is raining on the way to work?
Lunchbox
There's a top I can kind of put on, but it's not full, so the windows are all open.
Amy
Yeah. So you drive a Jeep?
Lunchbox
I drive a Jeep, man. It needs the garage.
Amy
Needs to be covered. Got it. Of course. Next one. Hey, I was just listening to yesterday's.
Morgan
Podcast about Eddie's neighbors parking in front.
Lunchbox
Of his house and kind of piggybacking off Bobby's idea.
Morgan
Why don't y' all tow Lunchbox's ultima.
Lunchbox
And stick it in front of the neighbor's house?
Amy
They'll be down one spot anyway. Just an idea. Funny.
Lunchbox
I like that.
Amy
But they'll take that one spot they're down and always park in front of your house. Like that's just down one spot for everybody. Yes. Thank you. You can always leave us a voicemail. 877-77 Bobby, we appreciate that. We will see you tomorrow. Parker McCollum will be in studio tomorrow. That'd be cool. Bye everybody.
