Welcome to Thursday's show, morning Studio.
Lunchbox
Morning.
Daniel
I want to start because today we should have the results of the testosterone challenge. We should have had them yesterday. There was a problem at the lab, so we did not have the results. And those that know we're talking about Eddie and lunchbox have been arguing forever about who has more testosterone. It's stupid. But then we thought, let's just end it. We'll get a paramedic in here, took their blood, and then we'll get the results. Yesterday, the results weren't ready. Do you know what I'm about to say?
Amy
I think. Yep.
Daniel
Okay. So as of right this second, you know, Amy, as of right this second, we only have one of your results.
Lunchbox
Boom.
Amy
Oh, and like, why they we just have the one and not the other? That's perplexing to me, and I don't
Daniel
want to say which one of you it is.
Scuba Steve
Is it because one of them has more tea?
Daniel
I don't know why it is. Why would you think. Have you. Do you guys know?
Scuba Steve
Who knows?
Daniel
Why would you think we have one and not the other?
Lunchbox
I assume that they found something in the other persons, and they're like, man, this can't be right. It can't be that low.
Scuba Steve
That's what I'm thinking. I would assume that the. The reading is so low that they're like, wow, there's no tea in here. So.
Daniel
So the ones that they. The one they had have as lunch boxes. Boom.
Scuba Steve
Okay, well, that's definitely not the reason.
Daniel
Then the one they don't have as of right this second. What is Eddie.
Scuba Steve
So mine is like, is it missing? Is it delayed?
Daniel
It's not missing.
Amy
No, it's not missing. The lab has it.
Lunchbox
Oh, man, That's a bad.
Amy
For whatever reason, the database has only uploaded lunchboxes results.
Daniel
We've heard they've brought in other people to look at it because something about it is so wild.
Scuba Steve
Maybe different result.
Daniel
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
What if it's like superhero stuff? Like, wow, this is the best blood we've ever seen.
Daniel
I don't know what it is. But only Lunchboxes is in right now.
Lunchbox
Mine is back because right when they put in the machine, they said TTG just started going off. They're like, oh, in that test.
Morgan
Oh, boy.
Daniel
Does that worry.
Scuba Steve
Absolutely. Of course.
Daniel
You've already been concerned.
Scuba Steve
Of course. And now I picture a bunch of scientists and doctors around this Test tube being like, I just don't understand it.
Daniel
Like, where's the tea?
Scuba Steve
No, no. Not where's the tea? More like, is this guy okay? Like, how's he still alive?
Daniel
Because I feel like it's.
Scuba Steve
This is bad. Cancer. Something.
Daniel
You've thought you've had cancer so many times.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Daniel
You thought you had cancer when you ate popcorn?
Scuba Steve
Yes. Correct. And it was just, I ate too much popcorn, but I still worry about that stuff.
Amy
Do you think it's because, like, if they. The lab receives things Alphabet, and they're
Commercial Announcer
like, A, B, C, D. Daniel is
Amy
before Eddie, but barely.
Daniel
But she makes a great point. Daniel.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy
Is before Eddie.
Daniel
D is before E. So Daniel lunchbox. So it'd be Daniel, then Lunchbox.
Amy
Yeah. They haven't gotten to the.
Daniel
Because it wasn't under L for lunchbox, but it was Daniel.
Scuba Steve
Correct. Daniel. Because that's his name.
Amy
Yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to come up with any
Commercial Announcer
reason why it might be.
Amy
And it might be alphabetical.
Scuba Steve
Are they not telling you? Like, you guys haven't asked, like, why is it being delayed?
Amy
They have called multiple times, and they said they felt confident. The lab has been great about sending testosterone results quickly, so that normally it's two to three days, but it's been so quick lately. They thought it would be one day, no problem. And then lunch boxes ended up coming in.
Commercial Announcer
They even called and were like, hey,
Amy
we'll pay extra to expedite. And the lab was like, no, can't do.
Daniel
We can't. We got to study this.
Scuba Steve
What is happening? Yeah.
Daniel
So if it comes in, we do think there is a 50. 50 chance it comes in the next little bit.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Daniel
If it does, we're on. We could have them just reveal Lunchbox's number and then. Wait. Keep Eddie's. I don't know.
Scuba Steve
Well, no, no, no, no. We'll wait.
Amy
I was accidentally sent Lunchbox's number.
Scuba Steve
Why would you do that?
Amy
Because. Because there's so many texts.
Daniel
I don't want to know what it is. Don't say what it is. You don't want to know. I don't know anything.
Scuba Steve
So Amy knows the number. This is not.
Amy
There's so many texts flying back and forth. I'm not going to say a thing.
Lunchbox
She was impressed. Look at her. Look at that smile.
Scuba Steve
She's not saying anything.
Amy
I'm actually very neutral right now. Anything, Any smirk you see is just that I know the number, and I don't think I'm supposed to.
Daniel
Don't tell me Either. I want to enjoy this. Say nothing. We'll wait and see if Eddie's comes in.
Amy
Say nothing.
Daniel
Okay.
Amy
Say less.
Daniel
We will do a couple other things. Don't. It's okay.
Scuba Steve
It's not good.
Amy
I don't.
Scuba Steve
My mind's going crazy.
Amy
It is kind of a bummer that Eddie's already been stressed about it and then his are delayed. Like, that's.
Scuba Steve
Unless you guys are purposely.
Daniel
I promise you. Because I know how concerned you are about this. I would not mess with this as a joke. There are other jokes we could do, but we're not going to.
Amy
I mean, there are. You can see the text threads.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Amy
Like, it's.
Commercial Announcer
It's legit.
Scuba Steve
I believe you guys.
Daniel
Do you want me to pivot and do something else?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, yeah. Whatever you want to do.
Daniel
Are you gonna be able to get to the show?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, man, I'm fine. Go ahead.
Daniel
A group of Kansas high school students took the Wiener mobile to prom.
Amy
Oh, that's so cool.
Lunchbox
How'd they pull that off?
Daniel
So here is this news story. Go ahead.
Amy
Not many people get a ride.
Daniel
A hot dog to prom. These kids in Topeka, Kansas, relished the opportunity to get a sweet ride. The Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile.
Lunchbox
The teens saw this cat miss vehicle
Daniel
parked in a grocery store parking lot a few days before the dance. And they asked the drivers for a lift, and they said, why, sure, let's do it. Complete with the wiener whistled boutonnieres and corsages. That's fun. Unless you take yourself way too seriously. That's fun.
Amy
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Daniel
That's from CBS Chicago. So, boom, there's one. You still good.
Scuba Steve
But what?
Daniel
Are you even listening? Are you just, like, lost because you're so worried about it?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
You talked about some prompting now.
Amy
We talked about how they took the Wiener mobile.
Scuba Steve
Oh, that's cool.
Daniel
They did.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Daniel
He's just concerned about his results.
Lunchbox
Wouldn't you be?
Daniel
If I'm the one that we were
Amy
testing for something more critical?
Daniel
They didn't come back and go, like, hey, we got. There are other factors to play here. We don't feel like giving you the results. No, it's just the lab. You don't have them back from the lab.
Amy
What if internally with the lab, they're like, why is this inconclusive?
Scuba Steve
Right?
Daniel
All you're doing is scaring him. We're trying to do this right.
Amy
Well, I just had that thought.
Scuba Steve
Inconclusive, man. That's a bad word.
Daniel
No, it just means they don't know.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Something's wrong with the blood.
Amy
What if there's, like, a minimal amount?
Daniel
Is this a woman?
Amy
Did you put Garcia on there? Is it because you're.
Daniel
Who's. Oh. Oh, is it. Could it be because Amy didn't want
Lunchbox
to say the word Mexican?
Scuba Steve
No.
Daniel
Is it Mexican? Mexican blood. Is it a white lab?
Scuba Steve
And do you think it got intercepted?
Daniel
Ice.
Amy
Oh, they, like, get it out of here.
Scuba Steve
Does ICE intercept blood work?
Daniel
They sent it back to South America.
Lunchbox
America?
Scuba Steve
It's a detention.
Amy
It's in Dilly, Texas. Funny.
Daniel
Oh, my God. You're freaking out about things that there's no reason to freak out about.
Scuba Steve
All right, keep going. Sorry.
Daniel
There's a common phrase that parents should not say to kids, and it could have a potentially harmful impact on the child's mental well being. That phrase is practice makes perfect.
Amy
Oh, yeah, duh. Everybody knows it's perfect. Practice makes perfect.
Daniel
No, nothing makes perfect.
Scuba Steve
It's because you're. You're striving for perfect for them to be perfect, and that's not good.
Daniel
Yeah, you're teaching that perfection can be achieved. Although I feel like this is a little too woke for me to believe in. I'm all good on. Hey, but, like, if you aim for perfection, you're probably going to get greatness, and I'm good with that.
Scuba Steve
So.
Daniel
You know the old saying, keep reaching for the clouds. Now that's Casey. Ksome. The other one is if you shoot for the stars and the worst case is you land on the clouds. That's still pretty freaking awesome. So I'm okay with the saying.
Amy
So what are we supposed to say instead?
Daniel
No, I'm good with this. It's. It's just. It's a little too. A little too wokey for me. Like, it's. It's okay.
Amy
Yeah, I feel like there are worse things.
Daniel
Like, nothing's gonna be perfect, but if you aim for perfection and you really put your heart and soul into it, you're gonna be really good. And you might not be really good if you're saying if you're really good, you might be pretty good. So. Yeah, I get over a Parade magazine. We do an article trying to soften us up.
Amy
I mean, I'm sure they have experts behind it. Try.
Daniel
I'm an expert. I'm trying hard. It's. I got a doctorate.
Scuba Steve
You do?
Daniel
And trying hard, basically.
Amy
And you're a dad and I'm a.
Daniel
Well, yeah, but there's a lot of those here. There's one, two.
Scuba Steve
I mean, we're all here yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
But still hard.
Daniel
I feel like the mood's down a little bit. I'll be honest.
Scuba Steve
That's on me. I'm sorry.
Daniel
So we will keep waiting and see if we get the results of the. It could be soon.
Scuba Steve
You'll let us know as soon as you get them?
Daniel
As soon as we get them, I will let you know that we have them.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Daniel
Okay, Good. Everybody good? And Eddie? Okay. Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and I both agreed early that we wanted kids, and we decided we'd wait a few years. Now it's been almost eight years, and when the topic comes up, there's a new reason to push it back. I understand wanting to feel ready. I don't want to pressure her, but I'm starting to worry that if we keep waiting, we might miss our chance altogether. I love her. I don't want this to turn into a point of resentment between us. How do I encourage her to take this step without making her feel pressured? Signed husband ready for kids. That's a tough one. That's a real life one.
Commercial Announcer
A few years to me is like three.
Amy
Eight is long time.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Daniel
It is long time.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Amy
Eight is.
Daniel
It's a long time. Yes.
Amy
She may not want.
Daniel
Yeah. I would say you need a third party to explain why from both sides, you guys are having these feelings. Because obviously you said to her, hey, what's up? And she said, do you want to keep pushing it back? This is, like, a fundamental issue in a relationship when it comes to kids. There are a few things. Faith, children, if you like Arkansas or Oklahoma. Like, those are things.
Scuba Steve
Oh, that sounded perfect.
Daniel
I know that one. That one you have to deal with. This is something, though, that I feel like you can have all the healthy conversations in the world, and I hope it does go great. But I think you need a third person to actually give both people's perspective. And then you have to settle on something. If you just keep kicking the can, even if you settle on we're never going to have kids, that at least allows that settlement to change the status of the relationship. If that's something that you want to do.
Amy
Right. Because then you have to decide, okay, is this the relationship I want to stay in?
Daniel
Yes. And the relationship can be great. But if the relationship is, we want to have children, and that's important to you, you've got to make a tough decision.
Amy
And you certainly don't want her having it just because one day she said she did want them, and then now she maybe has changed her mind, and then she has the baby. And then there's resentment, and that would be terrible.
Daniel
So I would encourage you to find a third party. Listen, if you have a therapist you can go to, that's great. If not pastor, just somebody that's not, like, one of you guys's friends, because for sure someone will go, well, that's your friend. Of course she's gonna say that.
Commercial Announcer
Yeah.
Amy
And don't ask, like, a grandparent. Have the baby. Like, one of their.
Scuba Steve
They always want grand.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they always want.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Daniel
That would still be, like, somebody's specific grandparents.
Amy
I know, I know, but I'm just
Commercial Announcer
saying, like, it can't be.
Daniel
Got it.
Amy
You said it's got to be a neutral, and it shouldn't be the person
Daniel
that runs a daycare down the street because, like, have the baby.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Daniel
I think you need an uninvested but respected third party, because both of you have a perspective, and both of you have a reason that you feel this way. You need to have someone help you flesh this out. And then you have to make a tough decision. Either she decides we're going to have a baby. On this timeline, we're not going to have the baby. You have to go, I want to have a baby. Are we not going to have a baby? And then decide from there, because this is not going to be good. This is festering resentment right here already. That would be my encouragement to you guys.
Voiceover/Intro
Mm.
Daniel
Good luck. I've a couple of friends that were married for years, four or five years, good relationship. Then one decided they don't want kids. They had as healthy as you can have of a divorce for this exact reason. And they were. It just was one of them didn't want to have kids anymore, and they both understood, and it was a hard divorce. They weren't angry at each other. It wasn't a contentious divorce, as in like, somebody cheated or something, but they literally decided it was healthiest to split up because one of them wanted to have children. And I completely understand. So good luck. That's a hard one. That's a real life one. But get someone to help you with this. That's my advice. Close it up, Bones. All right, so we need the results from our testosterone challenge. So we need them because we have lunch boxes. We don't have Eddie's now.
Scuba Steve
That's so weird.
Daniel
The lab is taking longer, so I propose we just read Lunchbox a score. We don't know what Eddie's is, and then we see if Eddie beats them, because I had the scale up of what it could. Like, what's good and what's bad. Okay, but I'm not gonna do that unless Lunchbox says it's okay.
Lunchbox
Oh, whatever, man. I ain't worried about it. I got a lot of tea, so let's put it out there.
Amy
I don't know that I'd say, like, a lot.
Daniel
Yeah. So Lunchbox. Amy's the only one that has the number Lunchbox.
Scuba Steve
If it's really low, you're gonna be cool with it.
Daniel
Can you find me a better scale?
Amy
Yeah, can. We need the.
Daniel
Here's what I have. I have total tea, free tea, and bioavailable tea.
Scuba Steve
And that we're doing total, right?
Lunchbox
But I hate that we're doing total.
Amy
From what I remember. Total. He said total?
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Chad said we're doing total. Yeah.
Daniel
Okay, then I need a ranking system of total. T sound like a cereal. Okay.
Lunchbox
He said, like between.
Daniel
Okay, Here we go. 1100 for adult males. A normal total testosterone level is generally defined.300 on the low end of normal, a thousand on the high end of normal.
Scuba Steve
That's a big.
Daniel
I know. That's what I'm saying. Okay, so we don't have Eddie's. Let's vote. Do we want to read the testosterone of just Lunchbox? And then we bring in Eddie's. Hopefully tomorrow when the lab gets the results. Do we want to debate anymore? But why they don't have Eddie's. If something's wrong with Eddie's blood.
Scuba Steve
That's just weird to me. Like, I'm so worried now. Like, why? What's. What's the hold up?
Daniel
What do you think we do? Scuba?
Scuba Steve
I think rip the band aid and
Lunchbox
we read lunch boxes.
Daniel
Okay. Amy's the only one Lunchbox's number.
Amy
Okay, so should I preface it with something that they don't think?
Daniel
So what's they said?
Scuba Steve
What did they say?
Amy
The preface is?
Daniel
He's on calis.
Amy
No.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Performance enhancing drugs.
Daniel
I don't know if you should.
Amy
Okay, no, I'm not going to preface anything. I'll say it after.
Commercial Announcer
You're right. You're right.
Scuba Steve
But you're going to say it, whatever it is.
Daniel
So the normal testosterone rate for a male is what? Like what? What? Because we don't know. We're just going to read some numbers here. We don't even know what it is.
Amy
I thought you just looked those up.
Daniel
Yeah. Oh. 300 to thousand. That's something.
Scuba Steve
That's a big gap.
Daniel
300 is on the low end. Abnormal. Okay. Thousands on the high.
Amy
Okay, so 250.
Daniel
Okay, that's about what it is. Okay, so lunchboxes, testosterone number. What? Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Normal testosterone levels, total T for males age 40 to 49, 52 to 9, 16.
Daniel
That's a big gap.
Lunchbox
I thought I found it and I was like, oh, I got it. No. Okay, so I don't know.
Daniel
What is lunchbox's total testosterone? Amy? Five.
Amy
Oh, three.
Joel McHale
Boom.
Amy
500 and.
Daniel
Okay, so that's right down the middle.
Scuba Steve
Right down the middle.
Amy
Well, they said that it's ideal and they can prescribe something to get it up to a more ideal.
Scuba Steve
Oh, so it's not ideal.
Lunchbox
They said ideal.
Amy
Okay, here's how they. Here's the exact response, which, again, this isn't.
Daniel
You might be done.
Scuba Steve
I like it.
Amy
I said, is that normal or high or what? The reply, not pretty average. We have some things that we can prescribe to get him in a more ideal range, though.
Daniel
Wow. So you have average testosterone. Yeah. Okay.
Scuba Steve
Average dude. You're like every other dude.
Amy
You have pretty average.
Daniel
Okay, that's fine.
Lunchbox
Pretty average was pretty good.
Scuba Steve
Are you happy with that?
Lunchbox
It's more than you got.
Scuba Steve
You don't know.
Lunchbox
You got zero.
Scuba Steve
You have no. You have no idea.
Amy
I kind of thought lunchboxes were going to be a little higher now.
Daniel
What would you bet? I think I'd bet on Eddie to be higher now that we know. Lunchboxes.
Amy
Yeah.
Commercial Announcer
What's the hold up with Eddie's.
Scuba Steve
I know, man.
Daniel
That's worrying me now. I'm thinking it's 2T. Too much tea.
Scuba Steve
Too much tea. And they gotta, like, balance it out with something.
Daniel
Yeah, they gotta water it down so they can count it.
Lunchbox
I got a question. Could they check my downstairs and see if it's all contained down there? Because it's stuck and that's why I'm having swelling.
Daniel
You're saying a lot of weird things here that I don't like.
Amy
Do you want a physical examination?
Lunchbox
You know what I'm saying? Like, maybe some of my tea is not escaping because I have a swollen.
Amy
Oh, it's trapped.
Lunchbox
Oh, I love.
Scuba Steve
I love that. Now you're making excuses.
Daniel
You got your numbers now.
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm just.
Daniel
Blood from you. They didn't take it. They didn't take the blood from your.
Lunchbox
Like, maybe it's not getting to my blood.
Scuba Steve
Doesn't. Doesn't testosterone come from.
Daniel
But it's in your blood.
Amy
I don't have. And I have testosterone.
Scuba Steve
But we worry about.
Daniel
Oh, what if she does? Amy just accidentally revealed she has.
Amy
Okay, no, all women have it.
Scuba Steve
What?
Lunchbox
Oh, my God. Yeah.
Voiceover/Intro
Okay.
Scuba Steve
Okay. So what, what do they. So where's mine? Like, what are they thinking? One day, two days, what are we thinking?
Amy
I mean, hopefully by today, just not while we're on air.
Daniel
Yesterday. Yesterday, the lab.
Scuba Steve
South America. Like, where, where is this lab?
Daniel
Well, they don't need to mail it back. They just.
Amy
It's. It's a database.
Daniel
They got there, they put it in, they upload it to a portal.
Morgan
Oh boy.
Amy
And they've been refreshing and lunchboxes came through.
Daniel
Maybe his got through because it was so. It was small.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
So low.
Daniel
It got is easier. Okay. Hey, but you should feel good because you're healthy.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I mean, but it's. It's not as high as it should. Like as I expected.
Amy
No, it says it's pretty average.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, but I'm not average. I'm not an average.
Scuba Steve
You are average.
Lunchbox
And so I worry that this, there may have been mix up in the lab.
Daniel
Mix of a baby sometimes at the hospital.
Lunchbox
Yeah, the lab, you know what I mean, seems to be having a lot of problems. So this could be a total. This could be null and void.
Amy
Whenever Chad left with the, the paramedic left with the vials, like, did you
Commercial Announcer
see him label them?
Scuba Steve
I didn't see that.
Lunchbox
I didn't see a label.
Bobby Bones
I swear.
Daniel
If Amy's testosterone is higher than lunchboxes, this will be the most. This be the funniest bit on the show.
Amy
Oh, I'm getting my new lab work done at my doctor on May 7th, so I'll have.
Scuba Steve
May have to wait that long.
Daniel
Well, no, no, we ain't waiting for that. That's not part of this bit.
Lunchbox
It wouldn't be that funny because she's getting supplements.
Daniel
Course.
Lunchbox
Yeah, she's being. She's cheating the system. She's roiding up.
Amy
Oh, I have, Yeah, I have a yum pellet.
Daniel
Okay, so lunchbox is at 500.
Lunchbox
Okay, 500, 303.
Scuba Steve
Middle of the road.
Daniel
Tomorrow, hopefully. Tomorrow we have Eddie's.
Scuba Steve
Hopefully.
Daniel
That's how you can tell this is not a bit. Because we would have done this yesterday. Like a real bit. Like something we're like orchestrating with like fake results and I mean.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. So whenever, think about it this way. Whenever I got mine test, the reason why I have a pellet is I was at 10.
Lunchbox
Oh my gosh.
Scuba Steve
You were that low?
Daniel
Yeah, but I don't know what that means for a woman because I know,
Amy
I know it was.
Daniel
Mine is too.
Amy
No, you're not a 10.
Daniel
I don't know.
Amy
I don't think so. No, no. She was using the same scale as I think this one because she's trying
Commercial Announcer
to get me up.
Amy
What? We're. She's trying to get me to like 70 or 80.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. Your females normal is 15 to 70.
Amy
Not. No, she was measuring on the male scale.
Lunchbox
I know, but. No, Amy, I understand, but your normal would be Is to be 15 to 70. That's why they're trying to get you there.
Amy
Cool.
Daniel
Cool. All right, well, we have lunch boxes and tomorrow, hopefully we'll have Eddie's. Hopefully, we'll see who the testosterone champion is for the day. Good job, everybody.
Amy
All right.

This show is brought to you by BetterHelp. Financial stress is one of the things that we don't always talk about, but it hits harder than we realize. It's not just numbers in a bank account. It's the anxiety that keeps you up at night. It's the tension that it can create in relationships and that constant feeling of, am I doing enough? There are moments where it's overwhelming, where no matter how hard you work, you feel like you just can't quite get ahead. And what you learn is that stress isn't just financial, it's emotional. That's why it's important to check in with yourself. Because struggling and struggling with money doesn't mean you failed. It means you might need support in a different way. Therapy can help you unpack the stress, the pressure, even the beliefs that you've carried about money for years. And with BetterHelp, you can get matched with a licensed therapist who fits your needs. Plus, if it's not the right fit, you can switch at any time. You don't have to carry the weight alone.

Daniel
now to book your cabin. So Eddie was talking about our cleaning lady here that the building hires her. And so she had mentioned to Eddie that she was having some medical issues. And Eddie's like, let's help her. We talked about getting some money together, doing a GoFundMe, and then Eddie's like, I'll go talk to her again. And so that was happening. Right? Everybody with me? Yes. All the listeners. Just so you're caught up, this is Eddie's project to help her.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Daniel
Okay, so Raymundo came to me, who's our producer. And you talked to her yesterday?
Raymundo
Yeah, she came into our podcast studio and she was bending over, changing the trash, doing a little bit of dusting, and lunch was actually even talking to her, just trying to Ask how she was doing. And we were seeing all signs of somebody that's doing totally fine. She was laughing, she was giggling, she didn't have a cough. I. I just don't necessarily see the sickness that Eddie's talking about.
Scuba Steve
Oh, weird. No, I mean, I've seen it. So maybe it's a day to day thing, you know, where like, maybe she felt good yesterday. I don't, I don't know.
Daniel
You didn't ask her about it though. Well, yeah.
Raymundo
Lunch goes, how are you feeling? And then, yeah, she was being funny. And then she goes, good and like yelled it.
Daniel
Yep.
Lunchbox
Just smiling and waiting.
Scuba Steve
Is it possible though, for like her to be sick one day and then feel better the next day?
Lunchbox
It was diary. And then we need to do a go funding what it is.
Amy
Well, is it also possible that Eddie's formed more of a relationship with her and she feels like she can open up to him? Most people at work don't share all of their internal problems with people in the office they don't want. So what if she's trying not to red flag that she's got something wrong? Because, you know, like, what do you
Daniel
think about the Eddie?
Scuba Steve
Like, faking it?
Amy
No, no, I don't think she's faking it. No, I'm saying she's, she's. Yeah, she's faking the happiness.
Scuba Steve
That's what I mean.
Amy
Okay.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, yeah. Not faking the sickness. Yeah, I mean, I've seen her many, like so many days where she's just not feeling well. That's the reason I brought this up.
Daniel
And so next week though, you're going to be able to get us the update on exactly what's going on?
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Daniel
And you told her. The thing you told her though was you'd cover all the bills.
Scuba Steve
No, I did not say that. I said I want to help you. We want to help you. Just let us know what's going on with the doctor. Once you go to the doctor and do your visit and everything and they, they decide what they're going to do, what kind of procedure you need or whatever medicine.
Daniel
This is not all that you said. Now you're. No, I really did. I said all that stuff and then
Scuba Steve
you let us know.
Daniel
Let us know.
Scuba Steve
But that's what you guys told me to say. You said get more information so we know what we're dealing with and then we'll come up with a goal.
Daniel
Okay. It just sounded like you said, hey, let us know. We'll. We'll handle it all. And I don't Want that? Because that. It's on you.
Scuba Steve
Well, here's kind of a thing now. So, like, if Rey is onto something where she's feeling better now, she goes to the doctor, everything's cool. What do I. What I do now, Then everything's cool.
Daniel
Then she'll come back and be like, I feel good.
Scuba Steve
And then we're like, all right, false alarm, no help needed. Yeah, okay.
Amy
What's weird about that?
Daniel
No, I don't think she's expecting anything from us.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Daniel
Unless you've told her.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh, I told her that. Which one is it?
Scuba Steve
I just said, let me know and we can see what we can do to help you. That's all I said.
Amy
And we'll get you a new car.
Scuba Steve
No, I didn't say that.
Daniel
It's. Mortgage paid off.
Scuba Steve
Okay, so. So then we'll find out if she's feeling better. Ray, then maybe.
Daniel
But also, it's these two that are making this observation.
Scuba Steve
That's two. That's true too. And her English is kind of broken, so I don't know if these guys are really understanding what I was gonna say.
Lunchbox
I don't know how. Well, Eddie speaks Spanish. No, like she speaks. So Eddie communicated all of this in Spanish?
Daniel
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Okay. I mean, it's a little Spanglish.
Daniel
Say to me that you'll take care of it.
Scuba Steve
That's what I said.
Daniel
That's right.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Daniel
Okay, we have to go to Mike to make sure I passed the test. Okay, so next week. Next week then.
Scuba Steve
Next week we'll know what's up.
Amy
That was really good, Eddie.
Scuba Steve
Thank you, Amy.
Daniel
Yeah, I was a little surprised, too, that it was that hard.
Scuba Steve
Thank you.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Daniel
Okay, the update is Ray and Lunchbox saw her talk to her. She wasn't coughing, so they think she's okay. All right, Someone on the show wants to spill the tea.
Lunchbox
Let's spill the tea.
Daniel
Basically, this is our tattletale segment. It. It's done anonymously. I have written one through five on my piece of paper. I need somebody to come and look at this, though. It doesn't matter.
Amy
Five things.
Daniel
No, no, no, no. I need one of you five come look at this and tell me if you think it's okay. Okay. Because this is one that is risky. It's so tea that I need to make sure that it's okay to share.
Amy
Okay.
Daniel
Does it make sense, what I'm saying?
Amy
Yes.
Daniel
Amy, pick a number. One through five.
Amy
Four.
Daniel
Four is. Morgan, do you want to see my page so you can see that that's true?
Amy
Okay. I see.
Daniel
So you pick four. Four is more. What?
Amy
I can't see that far away, but yeah.
Daniel
Okay, four was. Morgan. Okay, so there's nothing fishy. Morgan, come look at this.
Amy
Okay.
Daniel
Tell me if you think this is too Te to spill. Like, is it. Is it too personal or do you give it the thumbs up? It's anonymous.
Amy
Oh, gosh. Oh, boy.
Scuba Steve
It's that bad?
Lunchbox
Oh, wait, what?
Daniel
I don't know.
Amy
What do you guys. I want to say yes because I feel like we should share it, but I
Daniel
like how bad.
Scuba Steve
What's the level of that?
Daniel
Like, I don't know. I don't know. The bad is what I would say about it. It's not bad.
Amy
It's more awkward.
Scuba Steve
We love awkward.
Daniel
I mean, I read this and I went, this would be interesting, but I need someone to be in my eyes. So randomly picked the number. Morgan. You saw it. Heck, it could be about Morgan and she just saw it about herself. That could be it too.
Amy
I'm considering a lot of things right now.
Daniel
What? Thumbs up or thumbs down?
Amy
What are you leaning to? What's. What are you thinking?
Lunchbox
Don't let him influence your decision.
Amy
He's already seen her thumbs up.
Daniel
He. Huh?
Amy
You love awkward.
Daniel
I know I do, but this is you guys lives at stake here.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, who cares about that?
Amy
But you said it's not bad.
Scuba Steve
Come on, Morgan.
Amy
Awkward. I mean, is it like life ruining.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Daniel
Is it gonna ruin America? No, no, no, no, no.
Amy
Okay, we're good. So I feel like it's okay.
Daniel
Okay. Okay, so we will now.
Scuba Steve
Now we worry. Is it me?
Daniel
Okay, so we will spill the tea. There is a voice changer of a segment here that someone is left. Okay, go ahead.
Morgan
Could you please look at Amy's lock screen? I find it a little weird that she still has her ex boyfriend as the picture on her lock screen of her phone. How is she gonna move on in her life? No other guys gonna date her when she has her old dude on the phone. Did you guys find this weird? Look at everybody's lock screen. Does anybody else have an X on it? I doubt it. Amy needs to change it. She needs help.
Daniel
Okay.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Daniel
It is. Amy's locked lock screen is her ex boyfriend.
Scuba Steve
Can we look at the lock screen?
Daniel
Oh, my God.
Lunchbox
She can't.
Daniel
Oh, my gosh. She can't move on.
Amy
So I don't. It rotates so, like, it rotates like for. It was my son holding our cat, and then a few days ago, it switched back to this and I just haven't taken like I need to go in and switch it. But that's, like, a lot of work for me, so I haven't told.
Scuba Steve
That sounds like a bad excuse, guys.
Amy
I don't even go through and clean up my text message.
Scuba Steve
Amy, just be honest with us.
Amy
I am being honest.
Daniel
You look at that a hundred times a day.
Amy
Yeah, but I'm not. I'm like, okay, yeah, so. But, like, then where do I go? I go, stop.
Lunchbox
She's not like, oh, my gosh. It's so new to me.
Amy
I. It is a lot of work for me.
Lunchbox
I mean, you put it on there, so you obviously know how to do it.
Amy
No, this. Type this. Like we're in front of the clock. My daughter did that. I don't. Or his son, actually.
Scuba Steve
What are you guys doing there? You're hugging.
Amy
Yes. Okay, so what do I do?
Commercial Announcer
I mean, I don't know.
Scuba Steve
Do you have to move on?
Daniel
Listen, you. Yeah, yeah. That's the big thing. Good point. Before I tell you how to change your phone, what you do is you move on. Eddie. Great points. I mean, number one, you find your picture, you hold your thumb down on it for an extended amount of time, and it pops up the thing, and then it goes. What would you like to do? You set his wallpaper.
Commercial Announcer
I just did that.
Daniel
Okay. What On.
Bobby Bones
What?
Daniel
No, you have to find a new picture.
Lunchbox
Maybe. Maybe she's not ready.
Daniel
Sometimes I'll look over and Amy's licking her phone.
Scuba Steve
Oh, really?
Daniel
And I wonder if that's why.
Amy
That's not true.
Daniel
Should we do this? Like,
Amy
so that's not true, Amy.
Scuba Steve
Is it really?
Daniel
You don't have to change it. Don't do it for us. Don't make it performative. If you want to keep it on there and.
Amy
No, it.
Commercial Announcer
What?
Scuba Steve
Like, does it make you feel good to look at the picture?
Amy
Okay, here. So I take a better time of me and Stevenson, and then I hold it down extended.
Daniel
Or you can do the. Like you're sending it somewhere. Well, you have to break it.
Amy
Oh, boy. Can I help her?
Daniel
Yeah. Or you can push the arrow. You can do the arrow. You can do the arrow, too. Like you're gonna send it. Let's let Morgan help you. She's sad. She's gonna change the picture. She's gonna start crying. She's gonna start crying.
Scuba Steve
She's like, but I don't want to.
Lunchbox
Guys, like, don't do it, Morgan.
Daniel
He's gonna get a burner phone just to put that picture on it.
Caller 1
The other one.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Daniel
What's it. What's the new picture.
Amy
I just found the latest one I have with Stevenson at distract me. But it was, I swear to you, like, a week ago. It was Stevenson with our cat.
Lunchbox
We believe you because you didn't know how to change it. But it changed.
Amy
No, no, it somehow changed. Oh, it did?
Daniel
Yes, your honor. Somehow the bank robbed itself, your honor.
Amy
Like. Is that a sign?
Daniel
I didn't change it. Now you're looking for a sign.
Amy
I didn't change it.
Daniel
But you just said. Is that a sign?
Amy
I was just saying I didn't change it. So how does that happen? How does that happen? How does that happen?
Daniel
I don't know. But if you should just be you regardless.
Amy
Definitely not.
Daniel
Well, who's.
Amy
Why looking at my phone anyways?
Scuba Steve
Oh, the anonymous. Who was that?
Daniel
It's talk of the town.
Amy
That was Scuba Steve on the voice changer. I know it.
Daniel
It's. It was talk of the town.
Scuba Steve
Amy, that doesn't matter.
Daniel
You think it was Scuba Steve because it sits right behind you in the glass room.
Amy
Well, yeah, and I could just.
Daniel
It doesn't matter. I'll say this. It was not Scuba Steve, and I will not say who it is, though, okay? Everything. You remain anonymous and anonymous. Spill the tea.
Amy
All right. Does everybody feel better now?
Raymundo
No.
Lunchbox
We didn't care.
Daniel
We didn't care originally that you had your ex boyfriend as your foot. We just wanted to know what was up.
Amy
Yeah, well, I had my son and my cat. I don't know how it switched back. And then for me, it's a lot of energy to go in there and figure out what I'm gonna change it to.
Commercial Announcer
I didn't even know how it changed. Morgan just helped me.
Amy
I don't.
Scuba Steve
Can I say something to the anonymous tea spiller? From here on out, can you just keep looking at the phone? If it goes back to that picture, we've got something tomorrow.
Daniel
Amy's got Jeremy Piven as our lock scre.
Amy
It goes back to that picture?
Daniel
Yeah. It's a sign. Then. You.
Amy
Y' all know I didn't do it.
Daniel
Yes, you did do it. I didn't. You did do it.
Amy
I did not.
Daniel
They don't just assign pictures into your log screen.
Amy
Look at me right now in lr.
Daniel
You don't know an lr. That is not your. You can't pass that along.
Commercial Announcer
Nlr.
Amy
I didn't put it back.
Daniel
Put it. But you put it there.
Amy
No, I. It was there a long time ago, and then I changed it to my son and cash.
Daniel
That.
Amy
I don't even really know how that took me forever.
Scuba Steve
Amy, breakups are hard.
Amy
I didn't rotated. It's emotional, and somehow it came back.
Daniel
Do you think that's a sign?
Amy
I don't know.
Daniel
The fact that you're even not knowing means she doesn't know. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Okay, well, thank you for spilling the tea. There you have it. Now it's. There's the cat back on. Just you and Stevenson.
Lunchbox
Oh, it doesn't change yet.
Daniel
If we look back again, and it'll change it to be the first time I believed in science, that would be the first time ever. Bones, we have two moral dilemmas here. We're gonna go to Amy first. This is a clothing moral dilemma. What is your moral dilemma?
Amy
I ordered a denim jacket with fringe for I Heart Country.
Daniel
It's a festival next weekend.
Amy
Yes. And I got it. And I thought I would need a size small, but it's already an oversized situation, so the sleeves are really long. On me, it's big. So I was like, okay, shoot. I guess I need to return it and get the extra small. So while I have it sitting on my kitchen table waiting to box up and return, I get home from work yesterday, and my dog has eaten the extra button that comes with it, the tag. Thankfully, she spit out the safety pin, but it's. Now I can't return it, so I can't return it. I mean, I can't.
Daniel
So what is the moral dilemma that you want to return it?
Amy
Why? It's not a physical store. It's an online store. So I thought, could I test the waters and send an email to customer service and explain? Because they can track the package and tell that I literally just got it in, and they can check my Instagram. I haven't worn it.
Daniel
That's what they do. They started investigating people's socials.
Amy
I got it for this festival, and I need the extra small, and my dog ate it.
Commercial Announcer
Or I just take it to my
Amy
alterations person and have her cut the sleeves off so that it fits, and then problem solved. Because I don't want them to think
Daniel
I'm lying, because their opinion matters.
Amy
I know. It just feels. It feels like they probably get things like, oh, my dog. They do.
Daniel
But this is different. When Eddie wore stuff or lunchbox wore stuff and wanted to take it back.
Amy
Right.
Daniel
But that's not because they would wear stuff and be like, yep, had a good time in this for a couple days. Think I'm gonna take it back.
Amy
Yeah. And I feel like my dog has eaten tags off of, like, something from Zara before, but she only ate half the tag.
Commercial Announcer
And I was able to physically go
Amy
into the store and talk to them and be like, look, I didn't wear this.
Daniel
You don't even need to explain it.
Amy
But this is an online store.
Daniel
You can send it back. You never wore it.
Amy
You can't just send it back with no tags. Like, I'd have to get special permission. Like, if I send it back, no tags, they're not going to refund my money. And then I'd be out money and a jacket.
Daniel
I don't know that that's true, but I think you can make the call. I think they'll take it back. You never wore it. I think the moral dilemma part of
Amy
it is I just slip a note in and I never wore it.
Daniel
I think the moral dilemma part of it is you're safe to do that without feeling bad. Like, morally, you're doing nothing wrong.
Amy
Right.
Daniel
So will they take it back? I don't know. But how they were doing it. Wear shoes for three days and take them back. That I would say, no, you can't do that because you just bought them, wore the shoes, and then sent them back. Like, you cheated the system.
Amy
Right?
Daniel
You did. It didn't fit you. Your dog is a tag. You shouldn't be penalized because your dog is dead.
Scuba Steve
How about the dog at the button, too? Right?
Daniel
It's an extra button. Not the button on it.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's the one in the bag.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes they attach a little bag with the tag that has a button.
Daniel
You're gonna say that. You can say the tag fell off. I've never worn it. Look at my Instagram. Well, then that's them on the phone.
Commercial Announcer
I don't want to say that.
Amy
I mean, I'd rather just tell the truth. My dog.
Daniel
Send it back. I promise you, it'll be fine.
Amy
I'm waiting for the button to come out.
Daniel
No, don't even do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Lunchbox
no, no, no, no.
Amy
I'm not gonna put it back. But, I mean, the button's gonna need to come out. It's a big denim button.
Daniel
You can send it back. There's nothing morally wrong with that. What they do. Yeah, they're probably going, but you. You're good. You guys, lunchbox. What's your moral dilemma?
Lunchbox
Yeah, my moral dilemma is, do I add one of my old teachers on Facebook? One of the teachers that was not a fan of mine in high school even rejected me from their organization called Pals Peer assistance, Leadership. I applied for it. They said, no, thanks. And when I was walking into graduation, this teacher was one of the group of teachers that pulled me aside and said, this is a dignified ceremony. Please act accordingly, or we will pull your diploma. And now, oh, I'm big and famous. I look. Friend request. And I don't know what to do. Do I just let it go or do I say reject? Just like you rejected me.
Daniel
But did you deserve to be rejected? Like, were you a problem and was she doing her job?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Daniel
And then.
Lunchbox
So the. The organization was Peer assistance and leadership, something crap, I don't know. And I didn't get picked. And I was in algebra or something when I found out. And Alicia Yuma was in there with me, and she got rejected, and she was really upset. I said, alicia, don't worry. We're gonna start. Paps, people against Pals. I'm the president. You're vice president. And she. This teacher turned me into the principal for it. Like, oh, they're gonna riot against the pals. So I'm just like, what does it
Daniel
hurt if you accept somebody? That doesn't mean you're married to them or you owe them money. Accept them.
Lunchbox
You think I should be the bigger person?
Scuba Steve
I'm gonna say no to this almost like Steve Harvey. Remember he sent that teacher TV's every
Daniel
year until she died? And I felt like, that's a little overboard, man.
Scuba Steve
I love it. You know what? Lunchbox, kick rocks. Tell them to kick rocks.
Daniel
No, don't say anything. Just don't accept it if you're gonna do that.
Scuba Steve
Okay, yeah, don't say anything.
Daniel
You could send a message and say, nah, never mind. I don't want to tell you what to do. That's stupid. You should do that.
Lunchbox
I. I thought about sending a message saying, hey, remember when you rejected me from Pals? Then you pulled me aside at graduation? Like, how dignified am I now?
Scuba Steve
I love it.
Lunchbox
That's what she said. This is a dignified, like, also, I
Daniel
don't think her feelings are going to be hurt because Lunchbox didn't accept her on Facebook.
Amy
And also, if she never said, listen to our show, I don't know that you would fall into the dignified category.
Daniel
Did you say it? Not a her.
Lunchbox
I never said to her.
Scuba Steve
I feel like you did say her. No, because I'm thinking her.
Daniel
Yeah, I think most. Most teachers, at least where I grew up, were women. But so it could be a dude, and if so, he was just jealous of you.
Lunchbox
I could be a 2.
Daniel
Was it a dude?
Joel McHale
Nope.
Scuba Steve
No.
Daniel
Okay. Why did you just do that?
Amy
You must have said, just accept it and then say whatever you want to say to her.
Daniel
You know who accepted me on Facebook. And I. I've recently only got back on Facebook a little bit.
Amy
Oh, yeah, I think we went over Mac Brown. Yeah, we talked about it.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Daniel
I haven't messaged him. I haven't messaged him yet. I'm not a Texas football fan.
Scuba Steve
But you're a boy.
Daniel
I don't know. I never met Mac Brown.
Amy
Just people's boys.
Daniel
Mac Brown was like the head coach of Texas. Won a national championship there.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Daniel
And it was like, people you may know. And I was like, I don't know. But I requested him. I guess I'm dignified. He accepted it. So me and Mac Brown, big Facebook friends now.
Scuba Steve
I had a teacher from college, you know, one of my professors who, like, was just always hard on me. Like, I remember I had signed up to go to see a death. One of these, like, a death penalty executions. And he purposely didn't sign my paper, so I never got to do it. And I was so mad at him forever. He hit me up on Facebook. And you know what he told me? This was like, years ago.
Caller 2
Show.
Scuba Steve
How did you get on the Bobby Bone show?
Daniel
Dang, dude.
Scuba Steve
I got so upset at that.
Lunchbox
Like, what do you mean, how did I get on?
Amy
What if he was just saying, wow?
Scuba Steve
Because I know how he was when I was in school.
Daniel
That's how he was when you were in school. That doesn't mean how he is now.
Scuba Steve
How did you get on the Bobby Boat?
Amy
And it was high school.
Scuba Steve
No, college.
Amy
Oh, college. Okay. I was about to say they're sending
Commercial Announcer
high schoolers, so Lunchbox.
Scuba Steve
No, don't accept that person.
Amy
I say accept it.
Daniel
It. I say accept it. And don't send a message and see if she messages you.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
I say let it go.
Daniel
Yeah, you can let it go. I'm not Mr. Let It Go, though. You know me.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, you're growing.
Daniel
I don't. No, no, no. I don't hold grudges. I don't wish bad things upon people. Well, there is one person I wish bad stuff on. And if I see him at our country speaking to that, it ain't gonna be pretty.
Amy
What?
Scuba Steve
He said this before.
Daniel
It is not gonna be pretty.
Amy
Why would you see who.
Daniel
That I ain't gonna say on the air. Okay, listen, I'm not Mr. Beat Him Up Guy. I ain't getting a Fist fight. But if somebody that I. That it comes up to me at iheart country that I know is gonna be there, it is gonna be ugly, you know? Yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be real ugly. It's gonna be awkward for everybody involved. Okay, you want to talk about dignified?
Scuba Steve
Would it be on stage?
Daniel
No, because it definitely wouldn't be on stage.
Scuba Steve
All right. Just making sure. Because I'd be crazy front of the whole festival. That'd be crazy.
Daniel
Yeah. You don't know who it is?
Amy
I don't know, and I'm trying to figure it out. I mean, I know who you would feel that way about, but why would
Commercial Announcer
you see them at I Heart Country?
Daniel
That's the question that America wants to know. It will be awkward if I see them. It will not be pretty. I told our boss that. I was like, if this person.
Amy
What am I missing?
Daniel
A lot. If this person says anything to me and it is not going to be pretty, I'm not gonna, like, throw hands or anything, because I'll probably get. I don't know. I. I mean, I don't know if I get beat up or not, but I don't want to fight another fighter. But it won't be. It won't be good. Have the phones ready.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Amy
Okay.
Scuba Steve
You still don't know, Amy? I don't know.
Amy
I know who. I know who you feel that way about, but my. I don't understand why they would be there.
Daniel
My point is, I don't hold grudges. Except for this one. This is the only grudge I have in my life. Oh.
Amy
Are you gonna tell me why they'd be there?
Daniel
There are people that I'm like, ah, I. I feel like I was done wrong, so I'm just not gonna be associated with it. I don't wish anything bad upon them. That's everybody that I don't really talk with. I don't care. Have a good life, man. I'm going good. Only I hold one grudge and one grudge only, and it runs deep. Then there's scar tissue, and if I see them, it's gonna be awkward. That's all right, Lunchbox. Accept it and see if she messages you.
Lunchbox
Okay?
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Daniel
All right, everybody good? Eddie, I'm sorry about your thing, too.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, man, that was crazy.
Daniel
How did you get on my bone show?
Scuba Steve
That's a good question.
Daniel
I know, right?
Amy

Amy
Jiu jitsu.
Daniel
Oh, taekwondu. Wasn't that good? Jiu Jitsu was good. You know, guys, not our best number.
Scuba Steve
What do we get?
Daniel
2. Yeah, but I feel pretty solid. We work for those. We were talking about stuff kids put in the toilet, and so we got a lot of voicemails about those. Hit it.
Caller 1
We rented cabins on Moosehead Lake, and my nephew flushed toys. Washcloths and other items down the toilet ended up flooding the upstairs bathroom and it ran down into the kitchen below. And then the following week, after we left the cabin, the owners of the cabin posted on their Facebook page a video of them extracting everything that was inside the toilet. They actually removed the toilet, took it outside, had a plunger with air, and blew all the toys out of the inside of the toilet.
Lunchbox
That is tough.
Daniel
Give me another one.
Caller 2
Well, when my daughter was 2, she wanted to help mommy do the laundry. And she put dirty clothes, clean clothes, all kinds of clothes into the toilet and just started flushing. It got clogged up and my sister in law had come over before my husband had had a chance to fix it. We told her, do not use the upstairs bathroom. Well, she didn't feel well and she used the upstairs bathroom. That's it. Have a great day.
Daniel
The kid's heart was in the right place, of course.
Scuba Steve
Wanted to do the laundry.
Daniel
Laundry, yes. One more. Next one.
Caller 2
My son, two years ago, was 12 years old and acting out a lot. He decided he was gonna get back at us for I don't know what reason. He flushed an entire roll of toilet paper, including this cardboard inner piece. He decided to go to bed and not tell anybody. We ended up having an entire floor flooded and it took six months to fix the house. About $50,000.
Daniel
So yeah, 50 grand.
Scuba Steve
Gosh, man, that's just.
Daniel
That's nothing but your story now.
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah, now I feel better about the crazy part.
Daniel
Was a whole controller, a PlayStation controller.
Scuba Steve
I know how we got down there. Who knows?
Daniel
Crazy. Thank you for the call. Calls leave us a voicemail about anything. Not that anymore. We got some good ones there, but you can 877-77-Bobby. 877-77-B O B B Y Bobby Bone. Show Bonehead.
Lunchbox
This story comes us from Delaware. There was a marathon over the weekend. The guys in first place, about 150 yards to go, he's got it in the bag. He throws his hands up, slows down, acknowledging the crowd. When the guy from second place, at about 100 yards back, he starts making his move. Second place comes back to win. That's his buddy yelling at the finish line, going, go, go, go.
Bobby Bones
I was so surprised.
Daniel
The guy in second place had so much juice left.
Lunchbox
I was shocked.
Bobby Bones
He was sprinting.
Daniel
I was like, dude, you could have won the whole thing if you put this. Just a little bit of this effort. Because he saw the guy up front slowing down and celebrating. So he turned on the afterburners.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Daniel
But like if he had burner left and here. I'm not here to race Shame. That's one thing I ain't here to do. But didn't you think he had so much in the track?
Lunchbox
I was shocked how much he had left. I was like, it looks like he just started the race. It's a hundred yard dash and he is full blast.
Daniel
Yeah. Yeah. What does that show you? Yeah, don't.
Scuba Steve
Don't celebrate too early.
Daniel
Fry over spilled milk. Yeah. Or that too.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Amy
Okay. Y' all were thinking about the guy that slowed down. I was thinking about the guy that sped up.
Scuba Steve
What's the bonehead?
Amy
So I'm like, don't underestimate yourself.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Daniel
This is not to make you feel good. This is the bonehead.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
We're going straight on the bat.
Daniel
This is not telling me something good. This is the bonehead.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Amy
Tricked me.
Caller 2
Okay.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day.
Daniel
I was talking to Joel McHale. You'd know him from the suit community. He hosts House of Villains. He's also on animal control. Season four finales tonight on Fox at 8pm Central. And I was talking to him about what people recognized him from the most because he's done a lot. And the first time he felt famous. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now. Joel McHale, was there a point where you started to get recognized a little bit to where you started to realize there was some traction happening?
Joel McHale
Yeah, I was at a restaurant. I was sitting at a table, and I remember hearing a person go, hey, we got a clip on the suit. Hey, we got on the soup. And I was like, what, What? What's happening? So that was pretty good. And then I did an event that Elvis Costello was at. Gigantic. Elvis Costello fan. And he was like, oh, you're the guy that tells the jokes. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's me. I just got recognized by Elvis Costello. It was good because it was never a hit out of the, like. I've never, like, Community was not a hit out of the box. Soup was not a hit. I've never been on anything that like that, like a TV show where it was like, oh, you're Glee, you're modern. You are a bonafide hit out of the gate. And this is going forever.
Daniel
Can you tell by who's coming up to you what they know you from before they tell you what they know you from?
Joel McHale
Yes, you can tell by the age.
Bobby Bones
Give me a few differences.
Joel McHale
Women in their 40s and 50s remember me. From the soup. Young kids walk up to me. I was like, oh, this is a community fan. And then they'll go, no, no, you were Shaggy, right, In Scooby Doo. I was like, that's Matthew Lill. And ironically, Matthew and I were just in a movie together. So. Scream 7.
Daniel
Will there ever be a community movie?
Joel McHale
Yeah, at some point. Yeah. We have the money. I know that now people don't believe anything when they. When they ask it now, but it. We have all agreed and we all. It is going to happen if all the schedules line up. I swear to you community fans and I, everyone wants to do it. I mean, I might be too old to do it, but that's fine. That's fine. I'll. I can. I'll find. We'll get somebody to play me.
Daniel
The season finale of Animal control is April 23, and it was just announced it's renewed for another season. So that's. Is that fit? Your fifth season's coming. That's a long run now. Yeah.
Joel McHale
I can't believe it. On a network. I can't, like, you know, every. The whole model has changed. So thank you, Fox. And, yeah, it was a little show that could. And the first season, I think the numbers were okay. And then. And then they hung in there with it. And it's then, it's now it's doing pretty well. And I'm like, thank God. So, yeah, it's same thing with. That's how Community was like. The first season was like, okay, it's pretty good. It's doing okay. And we just slowly but surely wore. Wore people down and got them to watch it.

Amy’s Dilemma (38:18–41:13):
Her dog ate the tags off a new jacket she ordered online. She debates whether it’s okay to return it or if that would be dishonest—ultimately, the group assures her it’s morally fine to return an unworn item even without tags (if she’s honest).
Lunchbox’s Dilemma (41:23–47:18):
A former teacher who rejected him from a school program now wants to be Facebook friends. He humorously ponders whether to accept as an act of “being the bigger person,” to ignore, or to send a sassy message. The group mostly votes to accept or “let it go,” but debate is light-hearted and unresolved.
