Plus we go on this cruise starting tomorrow and we stop in Key west and Lunchbox wants to get off the boat and find Johnny Banana's house. I just don't think that's a good idea.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, it's the real world Key West House. It's where Johnny Bananas first came into our lives.

[Bobby Bones]

He's not still there, so I want

[Lunchbox]

to take a show trip.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, to the.

[Lunchbox]

To the Key west house. I want to go find the Real World house and get a picture. Because this is the moment we were introduced to Johnny Bananas all those years ago. And it's come full circle. I've always thought, man, I wonder, you know, every city you go to, you got to think, where's the Real World house?

[Bobby Bones]

And I've never thought that one single city I've ever been to.

[Lunchbox]

Really? I have never been to Key West. Never even had it on my radar that I was going to be in Key West. And now it's like the stars are aligning for us to see where Johnny Bananas became a household name.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's fun for you if you want to do it. I don't know that anybody on this show is going to go with you. Why don't you get some listeners go with you?

[Eddie]

Oh, that's true.

[Lunchbox]

I thought you guys would come.

[Eddie]

Why do you need, like, one of us to go?

[Lunchbox]

I thought it'd be a fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Amy's always talking about show trip. Hang out as a show. This could be an adventure. We could all come back with a great story about how we saw the house that made Johnny Bananas.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to go in RSVP No.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Eddie, man, I'd rather see the. Is it the Hemingway house? Didn't he live on Key.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what's in Key West.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think, like, Hemingway's house, where he actually lived, is on Key West.

[Lunchbox]

Well, Johnny Bananas actually lived in that. That house.

[Eddie]

Jimmy Buffett lived there. I'd rather see that.

[Amy]

Maybe.

[Eddie]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we get off the boat every place we go.

[Eddie]

That's a good.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that part of a cruise where you get off the boat?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What if people don't get back in time? They.

[Amy]

They must.

[Lunchbox]

They. No, they get left. They don't.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not a thing. They must, but.

[Amy]

Well, they must.

[Eddie]

I think they leave you, Amy, saying,

[Amy]

like, you must return.

[Lunchbox]

Or

[Bobby Bones]

like a horn think, don't.

[Amy]

Don't we have like. Well, I don't know. I figured we all had, like, bracelets or something. You have to scan yourself in.

[Eddie]

Hold on. So you're telling me that if I want to stay in the Bahamas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you just stay.

[Eddie]

You just not get back on the

[Lunchbox]

boat 100% they will leave you.

[Amy]

Not. I mean, no. I feel like we're going to have to set out to find you.

[Lunchbox]

No, they do not do that. They just pull out a port, man. They don't have time to Go track you down.

[Bobby Bones]

I see like, a little flat bottom chasing it.

[Lunchbox]

Guys, you forgot me.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys. They have like a ladder or something.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Climb back up.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Lunchbox]

I think you got to. If you want to get back on the boat, you got to get to the next port.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you got to go fly to the next.

[Amy]

Yes, it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I'm gonna pass on Johnny Bananas.

[Lunchbox]

All right. Johnny Bananas.

[Amy]

I mean, maybe.

[Lunchbox]

What do we mean maybe?

[Eddie]

How can you.

[Bobby Bones]

Where's the excitement? She just wants them stop talking about it. I don't know.

[Amy]

Let's just, like, go with the flow, like, see what happens. Like, I'm not saying no, but, like, maybe when we get there. Maybe that would be fun. I don't know.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna go and say no. Just right ahead of it. Nope, I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan. Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Johnny Banana's house. Let's go.

[Amy]

I think there's something else that I would like to do, but I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

What else would you want to do?

[Amy]

Like be on the beach?

[Bobby Bones]

Anything. I don't know, like, everything other than that.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God. You guys are no fun. I swear, like, it's. You have a chance. Pop culture history is right there, and you guys don't want to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Pop culture history. Okay. Is that on a list of things to do in Key West? They give you a list of things to do. I never heard of that. Yeah, there's excursions and stuff, but that isn't on there. On the Nancy Guthrie stuff. It looks like that guy that people were saying, hey, he's in a band with the brother in law. He could be shady. That made his life a living hell.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Lunchbox thinks you owe him an apology.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, me, Amy, you were the one pointing out he's in the band. He's the drummer. He does this. He's had past crimes.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you say that it wasn't you. It was a TikTok video.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but you watched it and you brought it here.

[Bobby Bones]

You watched it.

[Lunchbox]

I started looking at him.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Because I watched something.

[Lunchbox]

No, but then you brought it up on air.

[Amy]

This is making something of nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the something is this guy's been like, hey, this has sucked for me, but, yeah, I can do this one first. Dominique Evans, a fifth grade teacher and bandmate of Guthrie's son in law, spoke to the New York Times about his nightmarish experience since his name began circulating online as a potential suspect in the search for the missing 84 year old quote. I feel like Someone's taken my name, but for what reasons? I don't know. Monetary, clickbait, to be relevant entertainment. So I think the reason that people were talking about him is because obviously they had nowhere to go. And it was, let's look for shady people. And this guy, according to the TikTok that was posted, had some things in his life where he'd been in some trouble. I don't even know if that was true.

[Amy]

I don't honestly even remember what y' all are talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

You.

[Eddie]

What you were saying, all the stuff

[Bobby Bones]

you were saying about. About him. The video you watched, the thing you brought to the show and demanded we listen to.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no. I remember about the.

[Eddie]

The.

[Amy]

The son in law, but I don't remember about his bandmate.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a TikTok of someone going, let's look at his bandmate. He's had some trouble in the past. I didn't know he was a teacher.

[Eddie]

That's gotta be bad. Like your school, your students, other teachers, people. I mean, you know, they're talking about you.

[Bobby Bones]

After his name emerged online, Evans, who only met Guthrie, once told the paper that he and his wife, a school principal, were too afraid to pick up their son from his grandmother's home. And they hid in the bedroom with the lights off.

[Amy]

Oh, my. That is very terrible. Dressed so.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, I apologize.

[Amy]

I am sorry. I don't even.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even know that you brought it.

[Amy]

I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Amy]

I remember talking about the son in law and his hobbies. Like, yeah, he played instrument, was in a band. He also was a teacher at some point, maybe still, he. He liked to study reptiles and lizards and cook pasta.

[Bobby Bones]

That you did.

[Amy]

I remember that, but I don't remember. This drummer guy.

[Eddie]

Is he the driver, the delivery driver, too?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. Amy brought that guy into.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And that guy did nothing wrong. Is there anything you want to say about that?

[Amy]

No, I didn't bring him in.

[Bobby Bones]

She brought in a full lineup of people.

[Amy]

I didn't say anything about him.

[Bobby Bones]

They are going to turn over Nancy Guthrie's home to the family. Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home is set to be turned back over to the family. NBC News reports that law enforcement no longer sees the need to seal the premises as a crime scene or restrict the family from being able to go into the Tucson home. The search in Southern Arizona for the mother of the Today show host Savannah Guthrie, has now entered its fourth week. Feels longer than that.

[Eddie]

But, and you're right, it feels like she's no longer with us, all that just feels like it's over.

[Bobby Bones]

The 84 year old was reported missing on February 1st. NBC News. This is so dang. Conspiracy stuff just tangles itself up into culture though. Because we had callers that were on hold, wanted to talk about how it was not a distraction just for Epstein, but a distraction because somebody was gonna testify against the Clintons. It's just people just say stuff on the Internet and then it turns into fact. People see it on Facebook, they believe it, they start sharing it. People wanted to call, like, I don't know what happened, but I really don't think it's that. I don't think it's a distraction from anything happening in the news. And I'm a big believer in distractions happening. I think there are times where they shoot something up to get the. This is not that. I really don't believe this is that. I think it was a burglary gone wrong.

[Amy]

I just don't see how that makes sense. I'm not saying it's the other, though. I just don't know what in the world it is.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be crazy if she came back and she was alive.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It would be nuts if this happened to a young adult. It'd be way nuts if this happened to an old adult. They need extra care.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So this whole. The whole ransom thing, like, do the cops follow up on that? Like, whoever it was, say they had nothing to do with it. They just saw an opportunity. Let's just do a ransom. Maybe we can get some crypto out of this. Like the cops are chasing that now. Like, you should at least chase them.

[Bobby Bones]

They have been chasing it the whole time. They would like to know immediately as soon as it's sent, but if there's no way to track them because it's been shielded, hidden. You can only go as far as the trail leads you. And I'm sure these people sent things to the level of it being probably undetectable. What was crazy too. Back leading into 9 11. You got a loud swallow this morning. Yeah. All you have to do is lean away from the mic.

[Amy]

I did lean back.

[Bobby Bones]

You got a loud swallow. Did you hear it as soon as you did it?

[Amy]

Did I hear it? Yeah, I heard it.

[Eddie]

I think we all heard it.

[Amy]

Yeah. And I went back like this. I need to go like this.

[Bobby Bones]

What I remember thinking was pretty crazy was that terrorists were communicating by having an email address. They would type in their name login. They wouldn't send emails. They would write it, leave it in the drafts folder. Somebody else across the country would log into that email address, look into the drafts folder, read it. It's never been sent. So there was no way to know that that communication was being sent from email to email. It was only in a drafts folder of one account that multiple people were signing into from all over the country. I remember hearing that being like, wow, that's genius.

[Eddie]

That's smart.

[Amy]

And are the drafts, once the drafts are deleted, are they retrievable?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

I mean, I feel like a draft is just very temporary.

[Bobby Bones]

But they found.

[Amy]

I got drafts sitting in my draft.

[Bobby Bones]

They found that that's how they were communicating.

[Eddie]

That's so smart.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's say I'm in Arkansas and I want to send you a message. I didn't want anyone to see. I would write it in an account, leave it in drafts, tell you the login, username, password. You log in, you can go to the drafts and see what it is. It's never been sent, so it hasn't traveled anymore. Another one was they were using video games to communicate.

[Eddie]

Like, chat.

[Bobby Bones]

Like online.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, get on headset. They could communicate with in video games.

[Amy]

Like, code words.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, oh, just. I don't think until they discovered it was happening, they were monitoring what was

[Amy]

being said on a video game.

[Eddie]

So, like, are they on a 2k game? Like, talking back and forth?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it was 2k, but

[Eddie]

like a game like that where you're just. You're not even really playing, but you're talking.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. And you're talking in code, basically. I think they ended up putting that into a television show as well. I think both of those ended up being put into shows because it was true. But I feel like they're always one step ahead. It's like checking for steroids on these athletes. They're one step ahead of what the testing is doing.

[Eddie]

They're so sneaky.

[Bobby Bones]

So if they ever get caught, they got caught because they were lazy. So whenever it's the emails that are happening or the ransom notes that are being sent, my assumption is that they know what they're doing. They're sending it in a way that really can't be tracked. It's like, a lot of times you can't track money because. No, not cash, but I would say, like, money being sent from shell companies. Money being. I can hear somebody typing really loud. It's driving me a little bit crazy. It's not you. It's probably Morgan. Yeah, I'll turn off that thing. Yeah, yeah. I got hypersensitive ears today.

[Amy]

I'm just thankful it's not me yet.

[Lunchbox]

Well, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell us.

[Amy]

Swallow again. That's what's interesting to me about all the emails that were exchanged with Epstein.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that was just dumb. They were just dumb.

[Amy]

Exactly. Some of the things they were saying, I'm like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

But also, how dumb are they? Because he's dead, so he ain't getting in trouble. Nobody else getting arrested in America. Like, nobody's getting arrested.

[Amy]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe they have a meeting where they're like, hey, no worries on the email, because nobody's ever gonna get in trouble.

[Eddie]

We're so powerful. We're good. Don't worry about it.

[Amy]

Nobody can touch me.

[Eddie]

All good.

[Amy]

Email all you want about little girls.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Let's do some voicemails here. Give me number one, Ray.

[Amy]

I'm a longtime listener. Part two listener and getting to go on the cruise to see you guys. Amy, it does work when you call him Big Dog.

[Bobby Bones]

I tried it out on my head

[Amy]

main boss, and he turns red and just grins. He likes being called Big Dog. Thank you and have a good day. Okay, Big Dog, what if you try Big Hog? Well, only you would like that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. I don't think that's accurate. But it's.

[Amy]

Yeah. Cause the Woo pigs.

[Bobby Bones]

If you were like, what's up, Big Hog?

[Eddie]

Well, it's different. Meaning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Way different.

[Amy]

I was thinking just because Arkansas.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah. All right, let's go number two. Just wondering why you guys don't stop Amy from sounding a little crazy. She kind of follows these TikTok videos down a rabbit hole that. What are we doing? You know, how come nobody stops her from talking about this stuff? I mean, let's be real. All right, you guys have a good day.

[Amy]

Okay. I'll defend myself for right now and say, you have no idea how much I'm holding back.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow. There's more.

[Amy]

Like, are you kidding me? I'm just. That's just the tip.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy sent me one yesterday or the day before. I need to look into my DMs. It's like, oh, it was a cruise ship that was crashing into the water. They had to turn it around because the weather got so bad. It was in a hurricane. Yeah, it was up in, like, the

[Eddie]

Northeast, like, right before we go on a cruise.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

She sent me this Lovely.

[Bobby Bones]

And they turned the boat around. They had to, because the water was so bad. I don't know her intent of sending me that. Maybe to scare me.

[Eddie]

I sent you the Cuba One.

[Bobby Bones]

The boat's Getting shot.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that's definitely like, you know,

[Eddie]

Key west is right by Cuba.

[Bobby Bones]

They were on, like, a speedboat.

[Eddie]

They're not going to take on a cruise ship.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so.

[Eddie]

Oh, man, I saw that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, oh, what if we look down during the cruise and we see a bunch of pirates getting on?

[Amy]

I can't wait to see how y' all react, what y' all do, because.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you talking about, how we react?

[Amy]

Because y' all say, I'm with my

[Bobby Bones]

butler up my room.

[Eddie]

Will you keep them out of my room, please?

[Lunchbox]

Butler?

[Amy]

Well, Eddie's, like, saved lives and he loves to talk about it. And Lunchbox likes to claim that he would step in and handle business. And so this would be the real test.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. I've always heard, don't be a pirates, get on the boat. Don't be a hero.

[Bobby Bones]

Give them operate.

[Amy]

Be like, you can be the captain now.

[Bobby Bones]

You look down and it's like all around pirates are getting on, dude. A bunch of people with hook hands.

[Eddie]

Is that still a thing? Like Pirates of the Caribbean?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, maybe not the Caribbean, no. But modern day pirates.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like over in the waters. Somalia, sure.

[Eddie]

I've seen. That's Captain Phillips. Yeah, I've seen all that. But like, I wonder, in the Caribbean,

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's a little more monitored.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that there's not. But the reason there can still be pirates is because that area of water is so vast, it's larger than the state of Texas. Just where all that's happening. You can't monitor all of that. No.

[Eddie]

You can't police it. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

So what would you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Tell your butler, lock myself in my room. Lay on top of me. All right, Go number three. Had a quick question. You had a lady on a female who was another radio show host several months back, and you had offered to help her or provide her with some guidance. You're going to hook her up with someone. I hadn't heard anything about that, listening to the show, so just wanted to see what that happened. Part two listener here. Thank you. Good question. So Reid, who works for me and has worked for me for like the past five years, great cameras and video. He was coming in, but we had that ice storm and that's when he was going to work with her. So he didn't come into town, but he came in after that. And they've already got together and whatever they're doing. I've talked to her, I've talked to him. I know they have been communicating. Once I got it to Reid, I said, hey, man, will you take care of this? And he's been working with her. So, yeah, that's happening. I just didn't know that was interesting enough to bring up again.

[Eddie]

She told me. I ran into her the other day, and she told me that she. That you had followed up on that and that, you know, Reid was gonna do all that. I was like, that's so cool. That's so Bobby. Like, I would say stuff like that all the time. Like, yeah, I'll get my video guy to help you out and then forget all about it. It's like, the fact that you followed through is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, number four, about lunchboxes. Jury duty. The TikTok he was referring to is talking about the scam going around where

[Amy]

it's somebody pretending to be, like, a

[Bobby Bones]

federal law enforcement officer saying that you miss jury duty and trying to scam you out of money. Don't be an idiot. So the clip that he brought wasn't someone saying, you don't have to do jury duty. It was someone saying, don't believe somebody when they say, you don't have to do jury duty. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

No, it was the sheriff saying that, don't worry. If you miss jury duty, they're not going to send a warrant. So if they. You don't show up. It's not that big a deal. That's what he said. I don't know what she was saying. Don't fall for the scam. Like, when you don't go to jury duty and they say, oh, you're going to be arrested, he goes, don't fall for that. It's not true. You're not.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, she said you're an idiot.

[Lunchbox]

I know. I hate dumb people, and that's just what I have to deal with sometimes when she's not on my level, she. Oh, you're an idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Just because you don't understand the clip. I'm not an idiot. You need to get an education, okay?

[Eddie]

What's the point of someone getting on TikTok, acting like a sheriff.

[Lunchbox]

He's not.

[Eddie]

He is a sheriff. No, probably not a sheriff.

[Bobby Bones]

He could be.

[Eddie]

Okay, but what? Like, some people act like they're doctors, Right? They're not really doctors.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Amy follows all them.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

That's not true.

[Eddie]

Like, what's the point if you're not a sheriff? To get on and be like, hey, guys, if you get called for jury duty, you don't have to tell them

[Bobby Bones]

you're not views follows going viral.

[Eddie]

But that's kind of mean, because what if, like, it's not true, and then everyone goes to jail?

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of funny. Funny joke. Let's do one more. Sadly, he's already commented on this jury duty thing on air.

[Amy]

But how does anyone know that he got the mail?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, mail gets delivered to the wrong places all the time. Mail gets lost. What he needs to do is never

[Amy]

tell us about this again.

[Bobby Bones]

And then maybe his wife accidentally lost it. Just saying. Bye. Oh, I think eventually you should go do jury duty. That's eventually what should happen.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I understand that. I just. Like, when we're on the cruise. It's kind of hard to do jury duty when we're on the cruise at the same time. Like, I can't be two places at once. I know I'm pretty talented, but I'm not that talented.

[Eddie]

What is he talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

Virtually, he should do jury duty from the cruise. Remember the guy we had on that was, like, accused of a crime?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like taking money or fraud or something. And he hits us up, and he's on virtually. We're interviewing him, and he's got, like, the lake behind him, and it's really nice out.

[Eddie]

It's a beautiful beach in the background.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, I put the most boring wall behind me. All right, let's go around the room, Amy.

[Amy]

So if you're curious how far you'd have to walk into Carly Pierce's house before you realized it was hers, I now know the answer to that. She said that once you walk down the hallway, turn a corner, you're going to happen upon a shrine of herself.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Amy]

And she loves that. And so I just thought I'd ask the question of, like, if people walked into our homes, how long would it take to figure out that it was ours? Like, are there indicators anywhere? Like, Bobby, at one point in time, you had a mirror ball, so someone might know. Oh, bam. This is Bobby's house. Like a little shrine to yourself.

[Bobby Bones]

Once I got married, you don't even know I live there. Once I got married, you have no idea that I do anything in entertainment at all. So there's no shrine. There's nothing. There's, like, pictures of my wife and I, but I can't. Let me walk through the front door. Nothing.

[Eddie]

Nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

There's nothing. You would come.

[Eddie]

You'd have to go back, back, back.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd have to go to the studio on the property that's not in the same house.

[Amy]

Just know that it's you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So you're safe. Do you have anything?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I have an office. And so that's where our awards are and everything. And it's pretty close to the front. Like I've had people work on the air conditioner and be like, wait a second, who lives here? What awards are that? My wife tells them, they're like, oh, that's cool. Like that happens.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think they're disappointed? It's Eddie. Once they see all the awards.

[Amy]

ACMs. What country artist is this?

[Eddie]

Thought it was Alan Jackson.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Anything in your house?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got my ACMs, my CMAs right there on display. I mean you walk in the front door to the right, you see them all nice and shined up and so people do see those and they see a mess and so they may know it's mine also.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't have anything. Yeah, even all the awards are gone.

[Eddie]

All that's in the back.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you know what else I have? I have, you know that like our station here used to have big. Our heads they would take to like appearances. Like little cutout heads of ours. Real big. I have the life size ones of those in my house.

[Eddie]

Of all of us?

[Lunchbox]

No, just me.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Alright Eddie, what's your story?

[Eddie]

Okay, so I have the answer of when the best time to buy gas is. If you want the cheapest gas.

[Bobby Bones]

1971.

[Eddie]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Today. Got it.

[Eddie]

Monday morning before 10:00am Is the time to buy the gas at the cheapest price.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the reasoning?

[Eddie]

They say because no one buys gas at that time. Everyone's trying to get to work, no one's even thinking about getting gas. So all the gas stations kind of lower their price to lure more business in. Obviously the price of gas varies on, you know, the oil industry, whatever, but locally they will adjust the prices based on like if they're not getting any traffic.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure?

[Eddie]

That's what the.

[Bobby Bones]

They have these big billboards that you have to crawl up and change it. They're not all digital?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think most are digital now, man. I'm sure like the mom and pops probably have.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's like three right by here that aren't digital.

[Amy]

Well yeah, if they have that kind, they probably just keep it the same all the time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, and according to gas buddy analysis, the best day to buy gas is on Sunday in most days.

[Bobby Bones]

Counter dude, he just checked me.

[Eddie]

My experts said differently.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, we gotta battle the experts here.

[Amy]

You know when the best time to buy gas is just right before you're about to run out.

[Bobby Bones]

When you need it.

[Lunchbox]

That's just.

[Amy]

That's when it is that funny.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Lunchbox man.

[Lunchbox]

There was this company in China. They were having their end of the year party celebration, and at the end of the night, the boss walks out, has this big old long table, puts $26 million in cash and says, take as much as you can carry with you.

[Eddie]

That's like a fight waiting to happen, right?

[Lunchbox]

That is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

It depends. How many people are there? How many people in the room?

[Lunchbox]

There's quite a few, but it's a lot of people with cameras. So I don't know if they're all employees or if it's news and media, but, man, that table is just money all down. It is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it all hundreds? I guess it's a different country.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's a different country. So I don't know exactly what the denominations are, but, man, how cool to walk into an end of year party and see $26 million just sitting on the table. Take what you want.

[Amy]

Pretty crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It feels like one of those machines you get into where it's blowing the money all around you and you can grab as much as you want in 90 seconds.

[Eddie]

The tickets, hurricane tickets, is way easier

[Amy]

just sitting on a table.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but again, you only have your hands. You can't do purses. You only have your hands.

[Eddie]

That's where you use. You do the whole hurricane trick where you get your shirt and you put it all on your shirt. Yeah. Or you tuck your shirt in, put it all in your shirt that way.

[Bobby Bones]

I think what you could do too is let people go up individually, like line up. Because I don't think you're gonna. Depending on how many people's in there, you're not gonna get rid of all that money in 30 seconds. You can't carry that much money. So it's okay. No purses, no bags. Anything you can carry, you're up first. Go.

[Eddie]

Yeah. The tuck, tuck in your shirt, though, trick is great.

[Amy]

You should try it out on us.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man, let's do it.

[Amy]

Let's do it.

[Bobby Bones]

H-E-L-P.com Bobby, there was a story, it was one of those questions saying, would you take $10 million right now if you had to cut off the last 10 years of your life?

[Amy]

Oh, they're going to show you toes.

[Eddie]

I'd be like, yeah, 10 years, $10 million right now?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you get $10 million right now, but your lifespan is 10 years.

[Amy]

Oh, so I'm instantly 55?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but you die 10 years earlier.

[Eddie]

But you don't know when you're gonna die, so.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but in this scenario, you're gonna die 10 years earlier than what your normal date was.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but what I'm saying is if I'm gonna live to 90 and you cut it down to 80, we're good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but also, if you were gonna die tomorrow, you get the money and be like, right, that'd be bad. But would you take it?

[Eddie]

That'd be bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you take $10 million right now if 10 years was shaved off your life? No, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yes. Yes. Live in the now, people.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you're not even living.

[Eddie]

Don't worry about the future.

[Amy]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what's got you into the trouble with retiring.

[Eddie]

True. Living in the now because my mom

[Amy]

died way too young. She was only 65. So then you're talking, say I'm on her trajectory then. Now I'm dying at 55.

[Eddie]

But you had $10 million for what?

[Amy]

Like, yeah, okay, I'll live it up. I mean, I guess I could.

[Eddie]

Yeah, live it up.

[Bobby Bones]

You're talking about a million bucks a year, basically. Extra.

[Amy]

Is it taxed?

[Bobby Bones]

We'll just say no for the sake of the story. Cause it's not a real story. So we can make up our own rules.

[Eddie]

It's made up.

[Amy]

That's interesting. Cause that would change things.

[Eddie]

You feel like 10 years is a long time?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Like, do you, looking back at 10 years from now, do you feel like that was a long time ago?

[Bobby Bones]

I have both. Yeah. I feel like, yes, it is a significant amount of time, but also it feels like yesterday at the same time. But I do feel like, yeah, that's a lot. I've developed a lot. I've had a lot happen to me in 10 years.

[Eddie]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

Met my wife, got married. All those things are happening within 10 years. Would you take $10 million lunchbox to cut 10 years off your life?

[Lunchbox]

Man? This may shock you, but the answer is no.

[Amy]

I am shocked.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Why?

[Lunchbox]

I know death is the one thing that I don't want to mess with. I don't play with that. It scares me. And so I want to live as long as possible. If I'm poor and have to live longer, I'm okay with that.

[Eddie]

That's not true. Think about what you just said. You want to live longer. Poor. Dude, you are the epitome of. I want to be rich.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But I'm not going to cost 10 years of my life.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

Wow. Eddie, I'm shocked.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're the one that would take it?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

It's untaxed. So are you saying you're taking it or not?

[Amy]

No, I'm not.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I'm not.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox is not mine.

[Eddie]

I wouldn't expect you to take it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I'm just saying I wouldn't. I still get to answer. I still get to play the game.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Change. 100 million. I'm not taking it.

[Eddie]

100 million.

[Lunchbox]

100 million. I'm in.

[Eddie]

See, There we go.

[Lunchbox]

All right, hold on. I'm in for 100 million. Yeah.

[Eddie]

What's the difference, lunch?

[Lunchbox]

90 million. 90 million is the difference.

[Eddie]

But your lifestyle. What's the difference in your lifestyle?

[Lunchbox]

Everything. Don't any stupid. Eddie. 90 million difference is a huge lifestyle change.

[Amy]

You know what I just realized? Eddie doesn't understand money.

[Eddie]

No. Yes, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Eddie doesn't understand math, but I understand money.

[Amy]

I struggle with math, too. No, because you just said, what's the difference between 10 million?

[Eddie]

I wasn't asking literally. I just mean, like, if I had $10 million, I wouldn't be able to invest half of it and, like, have 5 million to live 100% comfortably, not worry about finances, and then travel some.

[Amy]

I just feel like some of that will go faster than you think. Like, some of that will go so much faster than you think. And the thing is, if you have million is not going faster, especially if you can invest that. Like, you don't You. You will run out of the 10 million.

[Eddie]

Not in my short life. I only got a few years to live it.

[Amy]

I just feel like the way people die quicker.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. My parent, my grandparents. Nobody over 72. My dad died at 72.

[Bobby Bones]

I think. I only think that because you told me that you're like, we kind of.

[Eddie]

We eat. We eat bad. Like, we've been eating bad our whole lives.

[Bobby Bones]

And by we, do you mean your family or your cultural.

[Eddie]

Culturally, like just fatty foods and lots of sugar? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I'm sorry about that, man.

[Eddie]

No, it's good. That's why I think, like, I don't know. Do you still have my life clock? I feel like I'm 72. Right. I said 72. I'm gonna die. Well, not 60.

[Bobby Bones]

So you'd be 62. So would you do 62 for $10 million? Live it up?

[Eddie]

Yes. Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm telling you, if someone walked in with a chainsaw and said, a million bucks to cut off your left hand.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Right now?

[Eddie]

My left hand?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. A million dollars cash, no tax. Right now.

[Eddie]

Nah, not a million. No.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Mike. No. No. Oh, I thought you had the death flag.

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

9,151 days left.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

When you look at it like days,

[Eddie]

it seems it's not a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a lot more real than it is if you're looking at it in years. Yeah, sorry for your loss of you. But also, you can be hit by a car today.

[Eddie]

I'm surprised you guys wouldn't take the money.

[Amy]

What?

[Eddie]

Surprised? It's 10 years at the end of your life, guys. The end of your life.

[Amy]

Okay, but again, if the end of my life might be 65, then that's 55. That's 10 years from now. So I got 10 years to what? And if I live it up, Trust me, that 10 million is gone. I'm spending it.

[Bobby Bones]

Things are a lot more expensive nowadays.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, your story.

[Amy]

Yeah. So there's a new AI that students are gonna love. It does all of their homework for them while they're sleeping.

[Eddie]

You can't do that.

[Amy]

Then they're not really students.

[Eddie]

We can't do that. Guys.

[Amy]

You're not a student if that's how you're working.

[Bobby Bones]

I would just argue that they said the same thing about the Internet. Whenever you could find everything on the Internet, like, oh, access to everything on the Internet. It's not the same.

[Amy]

No, but if the AI is actually doing your homework, that's different than researching it online.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless you're learning how to use AI.

[Eddie]

Well.

[Bobby Bones]

And all those skills are translating. I agree with you. I'm just saying the same argument was used when we were able to use the Internet for anything. To look up anything, all the time to copy and paste it. They're not having to learn. They're just looking up anything on the Internet.

[Amy]

Well, now they're not even having to look it up.

[Bobby Bones]

True. What is it, Morgan?

[Amy]

So it's called Einstein, and he's an

[Bobby Bones]

AI with a computer. He'll log into Canvas for you every

[Amy]

day, watch lectures, read essays, write papers,

[Bobby Bones]

participate in discussions, and submit your homework all automatically. Why get out of bed?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Why go to school? Are you even really in school?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you even exist if it's doing everything for you?

[Amy]

I'm like, we're doomed.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's just the same conversations that our parents.

[Amy]

This feels a little different.

[Bobby Bones]

It's definitely elevated, but it's always elevated.

[Amy]

Well, maybe if Elon Musk is right, we're not gonna need to know how to do anything. But then, like, how eventually we have conversations.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't. We have. Our AIs have conversations for us.

[Amy]

And didn't he say, write letters?

[Eddie]

He said, we're not gonna need money.

[Amy]

No money.

[Bobby Bones]

And Eddie just went all in for

[Eddie]

10 million, 10 years of my life.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that's going to happen in our lifetime.

[Eddie]

What the. No. Need money.

[Bobby Bones]

And then money. When I hear him say that, I think of that as a specific type of currency. I think there will always be a currency, even if the money is not green. Money we're using to buy goods. There's always some type of currency.

[Amy]

Yeah. Animals, sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Even eggs. Yeah. Even, like, massages. Right.

[Eddie]

That's currency.

[Amy]

Like a skill.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna take. Well, even to get that right. It's gonna. Yeah. Even if a currency is an action by someone else, I think there'll always be the need for currency. But traditional money, as he talks about, we won't need possibly. That's different. I wouldn't bet on it. Not in our lifetime. That's how you get yourself in trouble.

[Amy]

I think there's a hotel here where a robot gives you a massage.

[Eddie]

Does the robot have padded hands?

[Lunchbox]

It's like.

[Eddie]

Does that feel good?

[Bobby Bones]

Those clamps?

[Eddie]

That's like metal.

[Amy]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

There is a new strip club opening up in Canada right next to a dance studio for kids.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no. Not gonna work.

[Bobby Bones]

This is from Check News. The owner of the dance studio says, I don't think. Most reasonable people would think putting a strip club next to a children's school is a good idea, but I guess in this case, at least one person does so. Business owners in this downtown area are upset about it because they're opening a strip club in the former spot of a karaoke bar. Steven Johns is relocating his antique store, Red Shelf Decor after seven years, citing both a rent increase and the club moving in above him, saying it's not a good fit. So he's leaving already because the strip club coming in. But nearby businesses, including a kid's dance studio, are upset.

[Amy]

Naturally.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess they could just.

[Amy]

They could what?

[Bobby Bones]

Bad joke.

[Amy]

Graduate and just walk on over? Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

No, because they're dancers. They do have program. They have a program.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that feels like it's bad news. Someone should step in and keep that from happening.

[Amy]

Yeah, there needs to be a zoning situation for that.

[Bobby Bones]

A 56 year old woman reportedly contracted a nearly fatal infection from her pet dog after it licked a small open wound. Oh, could have even been a scratch. According to a report, 56 year old resident Manjit Sanga developed a severe case of sepsis last summer after doctors believed it was caused by bacteria entering her body. After a dog just licked a small open wound. They could have been as small as a scratch from Gizmodo. She survived after 32 weeks in the hospital.

[Amy]

That is scary.

[Bobby Bones]

They had to take out her spleen and partial amputations of all four limbs because the sepsis got in her body because of the dog.

[Eddie]

Weren't you letting your cat lick you?

[Amy]

Yeah, and I was gonna say I have this little cut on my knuckle here. Just a little. Like the skin broke and it was bleeding and my cat was licking my hand.

[Eddie]

Oh boy.

[Amy]

But we're good. Nothing's happened yet. But that does worry me. Cause, yeah, I get. I don't know. I don't know. I can't live that way.

[Eddie]

I thought people say like, dog's mouths are 10 times cleaner than humans.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not true.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy has to give a. A talk on the boat.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

On the cruise.

[Eddie]

About what?

[Amy]

Well, the topic was up to me, but I thought they would tell me specifically. Maybe. But I got to pick and I'm just leading a talk. And so I have the title of my talk, which is More whimsy, less Worry.

[Bobby Bones]

That feels like Ray's life philosophy too. Yeah, more Ray. What's yours? Mine is Less Stress, More life.

[Eddie]

That's the bumper sticker.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So not the same, but similar. So what is your. More whimsy, less worry?

[Amy]

Yeah, I just. Worry has its place, but oftentimes we worry when it's not necessary. So in that box, I want to wait to worry when I have the facts, when I know what I need to worry about. So waiting to worry and then whimsy is something I'm just trying to work into my life in general, especially with the world the way that it is. I think just tapping into, I guess you call it your inner child, but just being more playful and not so serious and finding ways to just have more fun. Maybe it's like I saw Anna Voss the other day. She's an artist and she has been practicing whimsy, and so she bought these sprinkles to.

[Bobby Bones]

You practice whimsy? Just generally.

[Amy]

Yeah, because I think you have to be intentional with it and then it comes more naturally. But she's trying to have more whimsy. So she bought these sprinkles for her coffee. And every morning when she makes her coffee, she puts her fun little sprinkles on top. And that's a way of doing whimsy. Another thing she did was don't waste your whole talk. This isn't my part of my talk.

[Bobby Bones]

Is this the whole talk? How long does your talk have to be?

[Amy]

45 minutes.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's easy for you.

[Amy]

I'm gonna work in a Q and A.

[Bobby Bones]

People are gonna come and watch this

[Amy]

talk on the cruise, I guess.

[Eddie]

Lunchbox, you wanna go?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy]

Well, I figured we all must have had our slots for talks.

[Eddie]

No one asked us.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we're playing two raging idiots shows.

[Eddie]

Oh, that would be our talk. Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Amy]

How do we get into that?

[Bobby Bones]

Nah, it's sold out.

[Amy]

I saw that.

[Eddie]

Sorry, Amy.

[Amy]

It's been hard to get sold.

[Bobby Bones]

I have no idea. I have no idea. I don't know if you get. I don't know how it works. I just know we're doing two shows that night, so I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay. Two.

[Eddie]

Two. Back to back. Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

The first song we sing's Live it up for Whimsy.

[Amy]

Is it?

[Eddie]

Oh, you should speak on that.

[Amy]

Yeah, I will be. Come to the lower deck.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you have it written all out?

[Amy]

I have my outline and then I'll.

[Bobby Bones]

45 minutes is wing it for whimsy. Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

I think she's gonna have a hard time with that.

[Amy]

No, I'm not definitely gonna add in a Q A. I will figure it out.

[Eddie]

They're gonna have to wrap her up, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

For 45 minutes.

[Amy]

I do not think they're gonna have to wrap me up.

[Bobby Bones]

Like I said, 45 minutes is so long whenever you're just told to speak.

[Amy]

Because I asked how long, and I honestly thought they were gonna come back with 20 minutes. Okay, no problem. Even in that, I'd probably throw in some Q A, you know? But now that it's 45, I don't know, I might have to come up with an activity.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. What are you doing on the boat? Like, what are your things?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I really looked at it.

[Amy]

Really? You don't know? Like, I have to do a line dancing class, a pizza making class. A sunrise walk.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

A walk around the boat.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Huh.

[Amy]

I mean, I don't have. I mean, I want to. Like, I. And then I have interviews with certain artists, and I might do that sunrise walk.

[Eddie]

That sounds fun.

[Amy]

My itinerary is pretty.

[Bobby Bones]

I just wouldn't want to commit to waking up early.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got a tequila sunrise bingo.

[Amy]

It's part of my job.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know. They told you how to do a sunrise walk.

[Amy]

Well, it's like, these are. This is what we have planned for you. And I'm like, okay, well, I'm here to work, so what am I gonna do? Say no, I wouldn't mind a sunrise walk on a boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I just wouldn't. Never want to commit to waking up early if you didn't have to.

[Eddie]

Is it really a sunrise time?

[Bobby Bones]

I would think if the title is Sunrise Walk, that's early. Yeah, Sunrise time.

[Amy]

It'll be fine.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So, lunchbox, what do you have?

[Lunchbox]

I know. I got a. Like, a tequila bingo, and then I got a tequila tasting. I got a party with Lee Bryce on the beach.

[Bobby Bones]

Tequila just gets drunk and everything.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I don't know. I gotta look at my list. I don't know. I haven't really looked at it.

[Amy]

What's your party with Lee Bryce on the beach?

[Bobby Bones]

They just kiss fish.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, Lee Bryce is gonna play, and I'm gonna host the party.

[Bobby Bones]

I just wanna kiss my fish.

[Amy]

That could be fun. Which beach? Which which? Can we come?

[Lunchbox]

I don't think you're gonna be able to get in.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dang.

[Eddie]

Sold out.

[Bobby Bones]

Sold out. How do people get to this stuff? Do they just come if it's just open?

[Eddie]

We don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I don't know. I don't either. It was just, like, some of you sign up for in advance, and some are just kind of like, walk up and hang out. Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

What if nobody comes to my dog.

[Eddie]

They may not. Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Me, every birthday party growing up as

[Amy]

a kid, I guess I'll be like, Amy.

[Eddie]

You're still gonna have to do it though.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a movie. You have to start it in case people come in at any time.

[Eddie]

What's there?

[Amy]

I'm gonna have to get real whimsical, start pretending and talking to people.

[Eddie]

I'm doing a sushi rolling class.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Teach you how to roll your sushi.

[Amy]

It seems like I should have been doing the sushi and you do the pizza because you love pizza.

[Eddie]

You want to swat.

[Amy]

I don't think we can because people maybe have already signed up.

[Eddie]

That'd be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know how to roll sushi?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I do. My wife. My wife knows how to roll sushi, so I've helped her before. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you skilled enough to be able to teach people how to do it though? Or do you take a quick class before you do it?

[Eddie]

I think I'm doing it with a chef.

[Amy]

I'm just an instructor.

[Eddie]

I'm doing it with a chef.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I thought you just walk in and you have all the stuff. It's like, hi, I'm Eddie.

[Eddie]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna teach you how to roll sushi. No, no, no.

[Amy]

For the pizza making class too. Like there's a chef person. And then we are just there as like the talent.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Eddie]

Learning also with everyone else. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're a part of a class. You're just up on the stage. Probably.

[Eddie]

Probably.

[Bobby Bones]

According to the Social Security administration, a woman who lives in Dallas is officially dead again. They have declared 94 year old Helen Civic dead four times in less than 10 years. The first and second times in 17 and 20 were cleared up quickly. Social Security declared Ms. Helen legally dead twice in 2025 and most recently in December. That problem hasn't cleared up yet. They're still paying for her insurance, prescriptions and assisted living care. I think she's still alive. But she's been declared dead four times. Fox 4 News with that story.

[Amy]

Keep an eye on that.

[Bobby Bones]

You think there's some fraud happening there?

[Amy]

Well, I don't know. I'm like, what's who like, is it her kid? Who's they? Like, who's declaring her dead?

[Bobby Bones]

Great question. There's a car in St. Louis that's been illegally parked for nine months.

[Eddie]

It's like Lunchbox's car.

[Bobby Bones]

And has collected $8,660 in parking tickets. It feels like that person's not coming back to that car. Because at some point, the tickets cost more than the car does.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

A car that's been parked on Locust street since last April has racked up almost $9,000 in unpaid tickets. According to the current treasurer, about 40,000 vehicles are now eligible for booting, yet the city owns just 30 boots.

[Eddie]

Don't they impound that car?

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, why not?

[Eddie]

They just take it and then ksdk.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You would think at some point, they make the decision, are they ever coming back for this car?

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think that person died or just has written that car off as, nope, not going back because I got to pay too many tickets for it. A driver is ticketed for distracting driving after taking a picture of a drone that was following her.

[Amy]

Ooh, Somebody supposed to pull over and

[Eddie]

what do you mean the drone was following, like, over her on top?

[Bobby Bones]

So this is from CBC News. When you think of driving while distracted, you think of people texting or messing with their phones. For Laurie, her distraction came while she was sitting at a stoplight. While stopped, she did notice a drone was flying near her car and checked. Checked it out. So she did what most people do. She took a couple pictures of it. Before she could report that she encountered a drone with the cops, the cops had already found her and hit her with a $615 ticket for using her phone while driving.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Thinking this was an inappropriate sting operation, the one of these news organizations found the ticket, went to them, and they dropped the charge. So the drone was looking for people on their phone, found it, but she took a picture of the drone, and they said that counts as being distracted.

[Eddie]

It was a cop drone?

[Bobby Bones]

I think so, yeah. Wow. That is sneaky. I don't like that you don't like cop drones.

[Amy]

Well, I don't like that you're. I feel like she should get a pass.

[Bobby Bones]

I take a picture of a drone if it's following me, because I don't think anybody believe me. Raymundo said his nephew had a high school senior night, and it was a little more dramatic than you're used to. Yeah. So what happened is the parents, family can go onto the court with them, and there's a huge round of applause before the game. And it's. The coach comes over, and he gave them a frame jersey of themselves with all their accolades. And I just said that never happened

[Lunchbox]

to me when I was in school.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Senior nights for us, I think we had in football, because I didn't play basketball. We didn't have one in baseball. You had your parent. I Did not have a parent. I think I had our youth director from church walk with me. But we. We had like a small stuffed animal and a football. Also. Times are different. I can't compare today to whenever we were in high school.

[Amy]

And every school is different.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's true too. But that would be cool. A senior in high school get a big frame jersey with like, your jersey was also your accolades, if you have any.

[Eddie]

He probably has to pay for that, huh, Ray?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so.

[Lunchbox]

Coach did it all. And.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and you got your away and home jersey just to keep. Like, they're not retiring the numbers, but you get them. Nobody else will wear those jerseys. I would think that like the. Maybe not pta, but whatever that organization is over the athletics. What is that group called?

[Eddie]

The Boosters.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like whatever the booster club version is, they're probably paying for that.

[Eddie]

My son, they won the championship, the basketball championship. And he has to pay for his own trophy because he wanted a trophy. So, like, we had to pay for it. 45 bucks.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up?

[Amy]

That seems weird.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think there's a booster club for sixth graders.

[Amy]

Sixth graders.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless there's just a parent group who gets together, decide to pay for it. Like lunchbox. Didn't you have an issue with your kids where it was trophies or something, like on your soccer team where they. And you had to be the bad guy?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. The parents wanted to get trophies even though they didn't win anything. They wanted to get trophies for any. Oh, yeah, we participated. No, we didn't win the championship. And so, yeah, I had to be bad guy.

[Bobby Bones]

They still could have got a trophy for their own kid, but it wasn't going to be like a universal trophy.

[Lunchbox]

Correct. They wanted to have a trophy ceremony, like where we handed them out and everything. And I'm like, I don't think that's going to work. They didn't like that very much, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you still coaching that same team?

[Lunchbox]

No. Soccer season's over. That's way gone now. We're moving. We just got done with basketball and now we're starting baseball.

[Eddie]

You're done with basketball? You didn't. Y' all didn't make the championship?

[Lunchbox]

Well, Oh, I guess. My older kid has the end of the year tournament this. This weekend. My other two younger ones, they're done. They had their last game on this

[Eddie]

last Saturday because we're in the same league. My. My little one and his. His older one, the same league. And we start. Started the chance, the tournament. So I figured they probably lost there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they're not in it. And you still are?

[Eddie]

Yeah, we're still in it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, my older one's still in it. They play on Saturday.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but you're saying the league that you guys are in together.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. Although we've never played each other. It's so weird. Our teams haven't played each other yet. Maybe we'll watch us meet in the championship.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you won't, because this team's gone. He just said no.

[Eddie]

He said they haven't started yet.

[Bobby Bones]

But your oldest is still in.

[Eddie]

No, it's my baby. My little one is in.

[Bobby Bones]

His oldest, his oldest.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Yeah, but your other team. Did you coach the young. Your younger kids?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I coached the younger kids. We ended up in third place. We were lost the first game of the season, 24 to 6, and then we went on a run. Went in five straight games. We were getting hot. Then we got. Then we got stomped on Saturday. It was pretty ugly.

[Bobby Bones]

Any trophies?

[Lunchbox]

No, no trophies. There was no trophies. It was just a 1, 2, 3, nets. And then everybody ran away. And I'll never. I'll see them again when I pick up my kids from school some days.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not going to coach that team again.

[Lunchbox]

No. You don't keep the same kids together. Like, the next year it'll be all different kids? Probably.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you can, dude. That's how you create championship teams. You got to keep those kids together.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, that's stupid.

[Eddie]

Oh, unless you don't want those kids. I get that.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no, no, no. That shouldn't happen in Little League. Little League. You should start with new team every year.

[Eddie]

No, man. These days, these coaches, they keep teams together sometimes. Like when you get to the middle school. Times like these teams have been together since they were five years old. You can't beat them because they all know each other. They all play each other so well.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's not that they're just drafting all the all Stars. They've just been together.

[Eddie]

No, they drafted them early, so, like, they got them when they were five years old. And they've grown together, they've learned together, and they just. They're unbeatable because they've known each other since they were five.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's because they're better.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man, they're so good. And the coach.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think just being around somebody makes you a better player. Like, they're actually.

[Amy]

Well, they know the plays better. They're not having to learn.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, if you have better athletes just come together even if they don't know each other. They're gonna be the team that's just been together.

[Eddie]

Sometimes you start seeing kids, like, they disappear.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. They don't invite them back.

[Eddie]

And then better ones come in. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Their scholarship doesn't get renewed. Yeah. All right, we're done. Thank you, everybody for being here. We will see you guys tomorrow. Hope you guys have a great day.
