1. Shredded Cheese Recall & Food Industry Secrets

[02:19–07:30]

• Bobby leads with a quirky yet serious story: 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese were recalled due to possible metal contamination.
  • "If I were to eat this bag of cheese, I'd be double killed." (Bobby, 02:29)
• Discussion about how different brands use the same food suppliers.
• Eddie explains that many store brands (e.g., Target, Walmart, Publix) repackage cheese from the same manufacturer, Great Lakes Cheese.
• The group debates whether all store-bought cheese is fundamentally the same and how difficult it would be to spot metal shards.
• "This reminds me also... that they say Cisco is the one who gives all the food to all the restaurants." (Morgan, 06:50)
• Mike adds that most mozzarella sticks come from the same supplier, with quality depending on restaurant preparation.

---

2. Entertainment Industry Scams & Plagiarism

[07:34–13:19]

• Lunchbox shares the story of a TV producer who conned Netflix out of millions, never producing the promised show and blowing the money on luxury items.
  • "He just took the money and ran." (Lunchbox, 07:55)
• Discussion shifts to another story, about a show pulled from Apple TV due to alleged plagiarism of a French thriller.
  • "I think it was so extremely on the nose as to what the book was. And then the book was made into a movie." (Bobby, 11:24)
• The group muses about creative “theft” in Hollywood, drawing a comparison to Lion King and Kimba the White Lion.
• Bobby’s take: Being “inspired” is fine—direct copying, not so much.

---

3. Doordash Delivery Mishaps

[13:25–15:32]

• Morgan recounts a viral story of a Doordash driver dropping a chicken wing on the porch, putting it back in the box, and licking his fingers, all caught on camera.
  • "There are too many cameras. We've hit that point." (Bobby, 13:56)
• Group riffs on delivery fails, the rise of doorbell cameras, and how customers discover these mishaps.

---

4. Media Tech Fails and Easter Eggs

[15:41–19:25]

• Eddie brings up Easter eggs in "Mad Men" now visible due to 4K remastering, like seeing production crew members and “throw up” machines.
• Discussion of how modern HD reveals old-school TV tricks and mistakes (boom mics, bad makeup, set edges, even turtle suit actors in Ninja Turtles).
  • “Watching 90s football in HD looks like the 1910s." (Bobby, 18:08)
• Bobby plays around with the new in-studio screen feature, likening its clunky rollout to the introduction of color TV.

---

5. Relationship Arguments: Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift

[27:58–32:55; 36:57–47:49]

• Sophie shares that Travis Kelce claims not to have argued with Taylor Swift in 2.5 years.
• Bobby and Eddie are highly skeptical—both from personal experience and general observation.
  • "If someone says, ‘We haven't fought once,’ that means he's not fighting. Like, he's just being like, ‘You know what, Taylor? You're right.’" (Eddie, 28:10)
• Bobby notes that in any close relationship, minor arguments are inevitable unless one person is avoiding all conflict.
• Group discusses semantics: fight vs. disagreement vs. argument.
• Morgan suggests it's about intent—maybe they've had “disagreements,” just not “big blowups.”
• Bobby and callers agree: you can love and respect someone and still argue.
• Multiple callers chime in with stories of long marriages and few or no "fights," but all point to the importance of communication and often one partner being very conflict-averse or selfless.
  • “When you love somebody and you have a lot of respect for them... maybe you just agree to disagree.” (Diana, Caller, 37:55)
• Bobby’s take: Fighters aren't necessarily bad partners; experience and emotional maturity matter, and sometimes it's about personalities matching up.

---

6. Eddie’s Ring Dilemma

[42:50–50:51]

• Eddie asks for suggestions on learning his wife’s ring size without tipping her off.
• Listeners suggest creative ways: use the excuse of “prong checks,” mark your finger when she takes it off to cook, and buy a ring-measuring kit online.
• Group debates the logistics, with jokes about hiding tools and not being “too obvious.”

---

7. Poison Pill Trivia — Math Edition

[51:07–59:04]

• Poison Pill is the game where each member faces their “worst” trivia area.
• Eddie faces off against basic math; audience member Angie will win a prize if he scores well enough.
• Eddie humorously struggles with division, square roots, sequences, and fractions but barely passes.
  • Notable moment:
    • "That's not 24, idiot. 34." (Eddie, 54:10, in self-deprecating frustration)
    • “I have dyscalculia.” (Eddie, 53:34)
• Then Morgan and Lunchbox get rapid-fire math questions, showing off basic skills and banter.

---

[62:29–69:40]

  • “I've told this guy to stop for a second. Now I have to continue on because I can't be a little B ... I have to [commit].” (Scuba Steve, 68:16)
• The group explores who on the show is most likely to snap ("rage out"). Scuba Steve and Lunchbox are voted most likely—with Scuba Steve seen as the greater physical threat.
• Scuba reflects on the roots of his anger, with Bobby and him discussing how childhood insecurity triggers defensiveness and rage in adulthood.

---

9. Caller Voicemails & Miscellaneous Fun

[Bobby Bones]

To recall 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese because there was a possible metal contamination. This is like the worst on both ends. If I were to eat this bag of cheese, first of all, it'd kill me.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Second of all, it'd be metal in my Lactose, that would kill you too. Double kill. If I were to eat this bag of cheese, I'd be double killed. The FDA has issued a recall for over 1 million bags of shredded cheese due to a potential metal fragment contamination. The cheese, manufactured by Great Lakes Cheese Company, was distributed in 31 states, including Tennessee and Kentucky. The recall is classified as Class 2 and indicating a risk of temporary or reversible health issues.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Consumers are advised to check their cheese products for potential contamination. This is from the Today show. Now a couple things. One, anybody in this room, if you use cheese and it's shredded, don't you always look at it? There's no shredded cheese. You don't ever look at.

[Eddie]

What do you mean, look at it? How? How much do I have to look at it?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you just dump it in, and if there's. You'll probably see metal. It's like when you poop, you always look back.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like when you do your shredded cheese, you either do it with your hands like this, you shred it, you drop the shreds, or you dump it in. There's really no shredded cheese. And I love cheese. I just haven't been able to eat it. It's my favorite. My life has been incomplete since I've been not having it with shredded cheese, not block cheese. You can't see in the middle of a block cheese. With shredded cheese, it's shredded, so it's dispersed at a level that you should see the metal.

[Eddie]

I assumed that the metal is so small that you wouldn't be able to see it. Like shredded metal. You know what I mean? Where it kind of looks like a piece of pepper.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, then if it is able to be seen, don't you think you would see it? For the most part, because we look in our cheese 100%.

[Eddie]

If there was like a wire in there, I'd be like, yep, that's not.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I was just thinking like a whole screw or like a lug nut in a bag of cheese. Yeah, that sucks. And it sucks for the company. And probably there was some sort of manufacturer with the equipment. Right. Isn't that what we think?

[Eddie]

What I always think when I see these is like the meeting that goes down of like, boss. Yeah. So what happened was I had a screwdriver, it fell on the cheese and it got shredded.

[Bobby Bones]

We never saw it. What do we do? And the boss was like, I think we can't throw away 100,000 bags of cheese. Are you sure you dropped the screen? I'm not sure I Just know I haven't seen it in the past few hours.

[Eddie]

My mind always goes there when I see these recalls.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. In my mind, when I saw the story, I thought it's probably a piece of equipment on a machine that broke inside the cheese, and they didn't know it till it was too late. And they're like, oh, there's like a panel gone on one of our machines. It's aluminum on the outside.

[Eddie]

Crap.

[Bobby Bones]

Crap.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we got to do a recall.

[Eddie]

The crazy thing about this recall, though, is that the. I mean, these are some major brands. Like, the stores that they're in are like, major stores usually. I don't know why I feel like I'm gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

Great Lakes Cheese Company.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Familiar with that. That's the brand of company.

[Eddie]

I'm not that they're the manufacturer of the cheese.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Eddie]

But it's packe. Like in a Target brand, Walmart brand.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Eddie]

A Publix brand. All those.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, great value. Oh, yeah. I guess my confusion is what's the difference in manufacturing?

[Eddie]

And then they're the ones that actually make the cheese.

[Bobby Bones]

They make it and they put in all the different bags. So all these bags of different brands, the same exact cheese, probably.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Some just have metal.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And that's a big one, man. Like, gosh, that's. Yeah, that's a big one.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at all. So you're telling me H E B. Shredded 8 ounces, the same thing as great value shredded 6 ounce.

[Eddie]

Because it's like it comes from the same place.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And they just buy it from that place and then repackage it.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder if in some of the pack, the places are using better cheese.

[Eddie]

Yeah, some. Some do.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, in that same manufacturing place.

[Eddie]

I don't think that, like, a cheese company like Kraft uses that cheese because they have their own cheese makers. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

A final cheese question here.

[Eddie]

I'm not a cheese expert.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we think all of these cheeses are the same exact cheese just packed into different brands?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think so, Mike?

[Mike]

Maybe not the exact same, but they have, like, different tiers that all come from the same place.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Mike]

So they could buy, like, a different. They could buy the more expensive one from them, but it's all coming from them.

[Eddie]

Like, I've been working on seasonings, Right.

[Bobby Bones]

And like, for, like, 20 years.

[Eddie]

For 20 years. And. And if I pick a place that makes seasonings and I package my own seasoning from that place, that place also supplies many, many other seasoning places.

[Bobby Bones]

But all these places have been affected by this metal?

[Eddie]

Yeah. So. Meaning all the cheese came from that one place.

But. Great.

[Bobby Bones]

Shouldn't they know what brand came from a broken machine, though?

[Mike]

It was something in the shipping. So something in the container let off, like, metal fragments. So it could have been in all these different shipments?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. That's a mess.

[Bobby Bones]

That sucks.

[Morgan]

This reminds me also, I don't know if you guys have been seeing it, but that they say Cisco is the one who gives all the food to all the restaurants.

[Bobby Bones]

The Thong Song?

[Morgan]

No, it's a food company. And it's like a joke that it just depends. Like, a restaurant is better if they know how to cook the Cisco food better. Because all restaurants use this same supply supplier of food.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but that's just like. That's like they supply the bell peppers. Like, you can cook bell peppers a hundred different ways.

[Mike]

I saw a guy, like, testing out mozzarella sticks from different restaurants across the country. He's like, these are the exact same.

[Bobby Bones]

Ones because it's all the same food. It's just how the restaurant prepares them and what they do after they get.

[Mike]

They add anything else to it or just how well they deep fry it.

[Eddie]

That's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go around the room. Amy's not here. She hasn't been here all day. Lunchbox, you're up.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Back in 2018, I think, there was a guy, he had this TV show idea, and he started getting bids. Netflix, Hulu, they all wanted him. And he ended up going with Netflix and getting, like, $41 million from them to shoot this series. He never shot it.

[Bobby Bones]

He never. They never shot it. He just took the money and ran.

[Lunchbox]

Took the money. Started buying luxury cars and trying to do stock market stuff, and he lost. And then they wired him another. He's like, it's coming along. Just give me 11 million more. And they gave him another $11 million.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, in for a penny and for a pound. I get it.

[Eddie]

But was this his first project?

[Lunchbox]

No, he had. Had something else. I'm trying to find the name of it, but he just started his trial this week. That's why.

[Bobby Bones]

So he had it. He had a history of actually making something.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And they said all these people were bidding on him, so it was obviously a great concept. And now he's facing wire fraud and all this stuff and facing many years in prison.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. He just decided to take the money and go buy stuff.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

And then probably I'll ask for 11 more and I can really make.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, he thought he was gonna get us all his money back.

[Eddie]

There was no production at all, like zero production.

[Lunchbox]

Keanu Reeves was one of the early backers in this movie or in this series.

[Bobby Bones]

And they never shot anything.

[Lunchbox]

He said they were shooting it, but they have nothing. There's never been one episode, like shown. Like they don't have one episode.

[Bobby Bones]

There was another story. I thought this is what you were gonna do. But it was an Apple show and you may look up the details of this Mike, but they shot the whole thing and it was a fully created show. And the person who wrote it like plagiarized it from another book. I think it was called like the.

[Eddie]

And in that case you have to like scrap it.

[Bobby Bones]

The Hunt or the Heist? Yeah, the Hunt.

[Eddie]

You can't put that out because it's all plagiarized.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not yours.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. Well, this guy bought five Rolls Royces, one Ferrari and two handcrafted Swedish mattresses that cost $638,000.

[Eddie]

You like the good stuff?

[Bobby Bones]

The mattresses cost $600,000? Yeah, 300,000 each.

[Eddie]

Those must be really nice mattresses.

[Bobby Bones]

I better lay down and fall asleep immediately.

[Eddie]

Help you sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

That must be like a chamber. This other story is Apple TV pulled a show off its platform and scrubbed it from the Internet days before its premiere. After plagiarism accusations, the French thriller Twaquez, which is the Hunt in English, was scheduled to be released in globally on December 3. So it would have been released yesterday. The French journalist Clement Garon was the first to respond and to report that the miniseries are being withheld. The allegations involve a similarity to the 1976 film of a movie of a book. And so apparently they just ripped it.

[Eddie]

Was it like, right, like directly.

[Bobby Bones]

What I heard about the show was because it sounded interesting. Like guy goes, kills somebody, somebody kills somebody. And then he always feels like he's being hunted by like the group. I don't know, something like that.

[Eddie]

The Hunt. Hence the Hunt. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so.

The miniseries show, which was set to be six episodes, follows a main character played. They go hunting on the weekends together. One day they encounter another hunting group who targets them in self defense. His group injures one of the attackers. Paranoia sets in as they feel hunted now by the vengeful enemies they. Pretty good premise.

[Eddie]

Yeah, cuz it's already been done.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep, successfully.

[Eddie]

It worked the first time.

[Morgan]

And I guess they're trying out a way to fact check everything that exists.

[Eddie]

Well, no, but I mean, as the plagiarizer, you have to you have to kind of be freaking out a little bit. The bigger it gets. Like, maybe they're selling it.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe you're freaking out. You're selling it to Apple.

[Eddie]

Right. I know. And then once it becomes real, you're like, they're going to find out, like, this is exactly like that.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't sell it, you don't do it. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Crazy.

[Morgan]

Do you think it's a chance that they didn't? Like, they think they thought of the idea.

[Eddie]

It can't be that close, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I think it was so extremely on the nose as to what the book was. And then the book was made into a movie. From what I've heard about the story is that they were just like, we can't do this.

[Eddie]

Because I'm sure that happens where like an idea is close to another one and then you're like, it's coincidence. Like it's. It's an idea. Like this.

[Bobby Bones]

I've not. I know I've not heard this idea, but. No, Yeah, I like the Lion King is supposedly one of those that stole the movie. You ever heard that?

[Mike]

Yeah, I think it's like Hamlet or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Something.

[Eddie]

Lion King and Hamlet.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not. It's not. No, no, no. It's like a Japanese book.

I can ask my assistant because again, I'm just going from the dome here.

Hey, what's the story of the alleged plagiarism of the Lion King from what I think is an old Japanese novel, or at least the rumors of that plagiarism. Absolutely.

Go ahead, please.

Sure thing. So the story goes that there's a long standing rumor that Disney's the Lion King was heavily inspired by a 1960s Japanese anime series called Kimba the White Lion. Basically, Kimba was a show created by Osamu Tezuko and is often called the godfather of manga. And. And it featured. So, yeah, it's that.

[Eddie]

So you can. So you can be inspired by something. But then do you have to tell them, like, hey, we're making this movie, it's inspired by your movie.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Because then they want to be part of the creator or they go, yeah.

[Eddie]

Then they want money, so you just do it.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can be inspired, but you can't take it. Then it's up to a court to determine if you actually took it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or if you were just inspired by it or it just happens to be similar. And that's where damages come in.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I worked with a guy that got fired because of plagiarism.

[Bobby Bones]

It's tough news.

[Eddie]

News.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you Plagiarize a news story.

[Eddie]

You're just taking other news stories and.

[Bobby Bones]

Putting it on our website from other. Other networks. Dang. Baller.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, it's not baller. Not baller at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan.

[Morgan]

Okay, so there was a doordash driver who showed up to this person's house. He had some wings, some pizza. And caught on the camera, he drops the chicken wing out of the bag. It's on concrete. You see all the soft splatter everywhere. He grabs the wing, put it back.

[Bobby Bones]

In the box, puts it back in.

[Morgan]

And then sets the thing there, walks away. And on the camera, you see him licking his fingers.

[Eddie]

No, you can't do that.

[Mike]

Baller.

[Eddie]

No, not baller.

[Bobby Bones]

There are too many cameras. We've hit the point that we have too many cameras. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's gross, the licking the fingers, though. I mean, what else are you going to do? You got sauce you don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Wipe on your pants. I got more deliveries to make.

[Morgan]

Well, even too. You see him trying to kick the extra sauce off of the concrete to, like, prove that something happened.

[Eddie]

Poor guy. Because what's.

[Bobby Bones]

Everything was bad. Not poor guy. No, he's not the victim.

[Eddie]

Well, he dropped. He accidentally dropped.

[Bobby Bones]

But you don't put it back in. I get it. Because you got the next delivery. You don't want to lose the money on it.

[Eddie]

What do you do? You tell him, like, all right, so I dropped a chicken finger.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the chicken finger just. You just take it with you.

[Eddie]

Okay. And just there. Oh. And so they open it up and, like, it said it was six.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know how many times I've gotten food that is limited as to what it was supposed to be? And I'm like, man, the restaurant must have screwed up.

[Eddie]

Or it's the driver.

Yeah, I guess so.

[Morgan]

You might have lost a few chicken wings.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. And why do you go look at that?

[Eddie]

The. The ring, the door.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Why would you. Unless you're wondering? Because I just would think it would. If the person was gonna eat it, I would think they would eat it in the car.

[Morgan]

I guess maybe because it gives you a notification when somebody shows up. So maybe you just.

[Bobby Bones]

So you watch it live.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And it records. At least that's how mine works, is if a notification comes through, it records, like, a minute of it. So it must have got the notification. They click into it, see it, and see what's happening, and then they downloaded the footage.

[Eddie]

They see them picking up chicken wings.

[Bobby Bones]

Or maybe they go out and they see the sauce on the Porch. Because he tried to kick some of the sauce away.

[Eddie]

That's true too.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, why is there chicken wing sauce on the porch?

[Eddie]

Check the camera.

[Bobby Bones]

And they go back and see why a chicken wing would be on our porch. And they see that it fell right there and they got put it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And he didn't tell them. He didn't write on the app that it happened.

[Bobby Bones]

So I wouldn't have either. I mean, once that happens, I think you just take the wing or the two wings, you put them in your pocket and you go home and you don't tell them, you don't say anything. Yeah, Eddie.

[Eddie]

All right, so Mad Men, the show was re. Released on Max.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. 4K.

[Eddie]

4K. Which they didn't think that certain things would be exposed in 4K, which is awesome that people are just finding different things that they can see. And one was a throw up scene where somebody in the scene throws up and you can see the guy running the throw up machine in the background. He's hitting the button, he's in the camera. There's another one where a girl's walking through New York City, but on the signs it has like an LA number and it says like LA's best food.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The funniest thing to me is that they didn't like rewatch it back before they loaded it up. Because I've seen this and you know, in some movies and I never see it live. I only see clips of movies where you see the boom mic come down.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I never actually catch it during a movie, but I will be told, hey, look at this. This happens in the movie. And if I watch the movie back, I can then see it because I'm looking for it.

[Eddie]

Well, I saw the story about Mad Men and so it had the clip and I looked at him.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no. You see the people, the camera guys.

[Eddie]

On the side never saw him the first time. And then they had to do a little highlight thing. I'm like, oh, there he is. Because, yeah, I would have. I'm like you. I would have never seen that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't catch that. Might you see this at all?

[Mike]

Yeah, it's because they had to go back in and restore all the footage. And they were supposed to make those same, like, technical changes when they restored the footage, but they didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they have to make those changes initially when they shot it? Yeah.

[Mike]

So they did all that when it first came out. And then they had that original footage again that they're restoring to 4k, but it has none of those. Those things on there.

[Bobby Bones]

So they're like the modifications they had to make in the initial edit. That's funny. I saw them. I laughed because you see, like, the people on the ground and the little.

[Eddie]

Cameras trying to hide.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It's not.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not 1950s or whenever it's supposed to be.

[Eddie]

What's crazy is when you watch old 80s movies, like Back to the Future in 4K, and you can see all the makeup. Like, the makeup's so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I've never noticed.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Like Doc's makeup, you know, the professor or whatever. You can see the skin kind of peeling off around his neck.

[Mike]

I went to go see the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in theaters again this year. And you can see, like, sometimes when they open their mouth, you can see the person inside of it. Or there's sometimes, like, on, like, the roof scene, you can see, like, the edge of the set where you see it's just a backdrop and not a real city.

[Eddie]

They probably got away with so much because the quality was so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know that my vision is even good enough to see even in 4K.

[Eddie]

Did you know there's sometimes, like, my. So my WI fi is on the second floor, and we watch football games on the first floor. Sometimes the. I guess it starts to buffer a little bit, and so it kind of looks blurry. The football game starts looking blurry. And I was telling my mom, I'm like, this is crazy. This is how we used to watch football. And we thought that was normal.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. To see some of the 90s clips of football. It looks like it's the 1910s.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like they're shooting it in black and white. Grainy. One flip at a time. And we were watching that and we just thought that was normal. But to see it back now, it was garbage.

[Eddie]

Do you remember when the HD flip happened? You're like, wow, this is crazy. I can see everything on the field.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't have an hdtv, so that was a slow roll. Because I would see it in certain places, little by little.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like restaurants.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then it would become more normal. It had to be like color TVs back in the day.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you ever seen the newscast where they go and they show the first color ever when they flip to color television, it's a newscast. I've only seen it on TikTok. Obviously, I wasn't alive in whatever year this was, 50s or 60s. And they're black and white, and it's two guys and they're like, this is the news. And the other guy walks across the set to another set, and the camera just kind of follows them, and he sits down, and it's like, now for more. And the screen goes color for the first time. Now, you had to have a color TV to see it, and most people didn't have a color tv. But imagine that change. I think it's gonna be the same whenever it goes from a screen television that we have now to when everything is basically 3D coming off of a platform instead of it's vertical now. I think it's going to be a platform on the bottom that comes off.

[Eddie]

Of, like, how they do. What do you call that when, like, Tupac comes back? Holograms. Like, holograms.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it'll be basically holograms because you see it, Mike. Yeah. Isn't that crazy?

[Eddie]

It's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Could we show that?

[Mike]

Let me pull it up here.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I'm told our screen works now. Like, if I were to reference that.

[Eddie]

Well, my whole system's not working.

[Morgan]

So you change it. Scuba, do it now.

[Bobby Bones]

Because this would have been a good example. And I'm so used to not having adequate technology that I just go, this is what I saw, and try to describe it. But it would be cool if I could show it, because if people are watching it on YouTube. All right, we're gonna have a little experiment here. Take your time, everybody. I'm serious. Take your time. First time. This is like going to color TV for the first time.

So what's the process?

[Eddie]

It's a wide shot here.

[Bobby Bones]

So we go to a wide shot. Okay, well.

[Morgan]

And Scuba has to flip a switch on his computer.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm jumping into that machine right now. But the machine is taking a while to load up.

[Morgan]

And then Mike is supposed to be able to call it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

Yeah. This is like the first time they saw Call of Duty. This is it.

[Bobby Bones]

I got a note from Scuba. It's like, hey, finally, after a year of you asking, it's working. They've been able to get us where we can just flip stuff up on the screen.

[Eddie]

Could be my. Why my computer's not working today.

[Bobby Bones]

And then it goes and takes over Mike's computer.

[Scuba Steve]

I flipped the video screen.

[Eddie]

We got movement.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we're all black. Okay, now we're. Oh, my goodness. That is a messed up screen half there, huh?

[Eddie]

Mike, that is your computer.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but it's. It's all tilted.

[Scuba Steve]

Try pulling your screen back.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Mike]

Give it a second.

[Bobby Bones]

The weird thing about this studio, because I've been building a new studio.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, we have it. Is that this studio? I preferred the nine screens because of what we could do here and put backgrounds up.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But it just so doesn't work so many times. It's almost not worth it. Okay, here are the two guys. The guy walks across the set. Now, it's in black and white. I didn't show you guys the first two guys that were together. But he walks from doing a newscast, and now he's putting, like, his ears in so he can hear the producer, and he's going to sit solo at a desk. And then, for the first time, America sees this as he does the news.

It's like, there it is. Oh, wow. Bob Bruner.

[Eddie]

That did look a lot like us getting the screens up.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, they had to be like, is this working? And their version of Scuba Steve's like, I pushed the box.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Ooh, do you ever see the. Hey, do we have. Can we get audio Scuba?

That doesn't.

[Scuba Steve]

That doesn't feed audio.

[Mike]

No, we're not there yet.

[Eddie]

Baby steps.

[Scuba Steve]

If they were to have to feed audio, that'd be Eddie's thing, I believe. And yours isn't working right.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so this is a funny. You can't hear it. I bet you I can identify most of these news bloopers, though, because I've seen them all. All right, let's just let it roll here. We're practicing our new system. I don't know what he's saying. Yeah, I don't know this one, though. I don't know. Is this, like, a highlight montage? Yeah.

I don't know. This guy says, large cat spot.

[Eddie]

Does this guy jump up and. No.

[Bobby Bones]

And then ends up being a tiny cat in the back.

It's not that one. Okay, that's funny. That's funny. That's funny. All right, let's see. Let's see if we can do one more. Thank you for your patience, everybody. Do you ever see the one where the guy's, like, out. This is our. The person we're looking for. And it turned, and they put the drawing up. Oh, yeah, exactly like news anchor.

[Eddie]

I just saw it the other day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was funny. I thought that was gonna be on here. Maybe that's so old that even my news bloopers aren't relevant anymore.

[Mike]

It was the thumbnail.

[Bobby Bones]

It was the thumbnail. Oh, it was the. You ever see the one of the two girls, and they're. They're young. They're, like, out of college, but they're doing like a North Dakota. Like one of their first jobs, a small market. And they're both there. And one of them was like, looking at the camera, like. Cause she didn't think they're on. And the other girl's like. She's like, hey, you're on. You're on. She's like, well, this week in the.

[Mike]

News, she goes, I so pale.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, she's looking at. She goes, I so pale.

[Lunchbox]

Those are great.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, one day we'll get.

[Eddie]

There's this sketch guy.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that dude. White. The other dude I think was like Hispanic or black.

But those are the two news guys at first. So I described that kind of problem.

[Mike]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Those two people. Yeah, that's pretty cool clip. It doesn't matter. Most people are listening to this on podcast anyway. They're not watching. But soon enough when you watch, you'll be able to watch us watch. And isn't that what this is all about?

[Eddie]

Yes. Oh, it's a tick tock of just like red carpet. You know, things that were red. Things went wrong in red carpets. And it was like the one where Tom Cruise got squirted by water.

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't seen that.

[Eddie]

And he's just like, why would you do that? Why would you do that? And the fact that people are doing crazy stuff on the red carpet and then the way people react is like, really funny to question. Dumb questions.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would they spray Tom Cruise? I don't.

[Eddie]

There it is right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Social media clout, I guess. But this is before social media. This is Ebaum's world. So it's. Maybe it's like a fan spraying him.

[Eddie]

Nah, because he's doing an interview.

[Bobby Bones]

But like, there's fans everywhere, all around.

[Eddie]

Yeah, possibly. They get squirted right in the face. And he's like, why would you do that? And he gets mad.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? Tom Cruise is justice for Tom Cruise. Or is. Now it's frozen. Okay.

[Eddie]

And then there's the Kesha one.

[Bobby Bones]

Where does all of our stuff suck?

[Eddie]

I don't know, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

We finally have it. Okay, we can't hear it, but Tom Cruise is talking.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

He's talking. He's having a heck of an interview. Looks like vampire smiling. He got. Did he get squirted? That was small.

[Eddie]

No, not yet.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

You'll see it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, still talking to the interviewer. I'm wondering what angle the spray comes.

[Eddie]

It's gonna come right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it came from the microphone. It was a prank from the microphone.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Tom Cruise punch him. Wasn't That a. Was that a joke microphone Mike, if.

[Mike]

You had to be.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it came right from the microphone.

[Eddie]

That's so not cool, by the way.

[Bobby Bones]

Not cool, but hilarious. Like to have that. I wouldn't have done that to Tom Cruise.

[Eddie]

No, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Too big of a star.

[Mike]

Look at the angle.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. If it's like, one of your buddies, like, for us in this job.

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

But, yeah, bad move.

[Eddie]

And he tries to be cool about him.

[Bobby Bones]

He does what is happening. That should piss him off.

[Eddie]

And then his person is, like, blocking.

[Bobby Bones]

It with their hand. The water spray. Yeah, that sucks. All right. One other thing we talked about the raccoon, the drunk raccoon. One of you guys had that story.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Lunchbox dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it you? And I was like, guys, don't mess with raccoons. If you see a raccoon, leave it alone. Even if it's a drunk raccoon pass down the bathroom, leave it alone. A man tried to drive an injured raccoon to the nature center, but it bit him on the face and his hands during the drive. It also had rabies.

[Eddie]

Oh, no. Does that mean he has rabies?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it means he's gotta start taking shots immediately in his stomach forever. For a long time. Maybe not forever, but for a long time. And when something has rabies, have to kill it immediately because you can't fix rabies. And they have to go into the brain. That's the only way they know if an animal has rabies is by going in once it bites them. They don't know it has rabies. It's an animal that has rabies a lot of times. So they have to go and kill those animals once they bite to see if they have rabies, because to see the effect of the human. So they have to go and cut the head off and. And cut the brain in half and see if the brain is infected with rabies. To. Which it was. So now this dude's got to take all these shots because he was trying to help an injured raccoon.

[Eddie]

So they had to kill the raccoon to find out I had rabies?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. You can't tell. Oh, now if it's like, foaming at the mouth, that's different. You guess, but you still don't know. Know. You don't really know until you cut the head off and go into the brain.

[Morgan]

Also, why didn't this guy put it in, like, a cage?

[Bobby Bones]

May not have had one. If it's injured and you're. You have that in your heart, you're like, Just throw it in the back of the car. I gotta get it there.

[Eddie]

Yeah, right, whatever. That's not the. On the screen, though. That's the drunk record.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the drunk record. Oh, we're still screening it. Okay.

So where do we scuba? So I can't really go to this then. Unless it's just a visual, but then it's gonna take us a long time. Yeah, it's not your fault. This is not me being irritated at you.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. Because we're just trying to get it done and we're.

[Bobby Bones]

It is just such something that. I have friends that do shows, they pull up crap all the time. They play audio, they do everything just on the. They're just like, boom, on call. Pull this up, play it.

[Scuba Steve]

We just have almost so much and too much technology, and it was built by somebody that they ended up laying off 80% through the work. And so it's kind of like you kind of get what you get.

[Bobby Bones]

Then why can't we just bring in one rogue rolling mobile screen that sits on the stage? And it's just like, check this out. Like, we were watching an illegal Dallas Cowboys game the other night from Mike's TikTok account on the screen. Like, in my studio, at my house.

[Eddie]

Like, these don't even have screen mirror, right?

[Morgan]

Yeah. I had to bring in a Roku.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we're like, I can do that at home.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But I guess these TVs don't have that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's crazy. It's crazy. We can't even up. Yeah, we're just trying to make content over here. The Bobby Bone Show. Everybody roll.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Travis. Kelsey said him and Taylor Swift have not fought once in two and a half years. Eddie, Ask somebody who's been married for 20 years.

[Eddie]

We fight all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that tell you, though? If someone says, I've been in a relationship for multiple years and we haven't.

[Eddie]

Fought once, that means he's not fighting. Like, he's just being like, you know what, Taylor? You're right. And I'm assuming he does that because it's Taylor Swift. I mean, like, he won the lottery by getting Taylor Swift. So of course he's like, I'm not fighting this.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you play a clip from the podcast, Ray? Travis, shall we ask you the same questions?

[Eddie]

Well, it's only been two and a.

[Scuba Steve]

Half years, and you're right, I haven't gotten an argument.

[Eddie]

Oh, what do you think?

[Bobby Bones]

The same. Because any intimate relationship you're in, it can be a friendship. It can be a roommate. It can be a romantic relationship, two and a half years if you're in intimate settings. I'm not even talking about romantic. I'm talking about just close. Yeah. You're going to fight with anybody just because you're two human beings with different emotions and feelings. Yeah. Sounds like old Travis just kind of taking. Taking her lead.

[Eddie]

But in the podcast, George Clooney says the same thing. He hadn't fought, you know, argue with his wife at all either.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's like 10 years. Yeah, yeah, that's what led to that. Morgan, what do you think?

[Morgan]

I wonder if what he's saying is, like, they haven't had any big blow ups. Maybe they've had disagreements, but because I feel like it's impossible not to have a disagreement with somebody that close in your personal life. So I wonder if he's saying like, arguments, like they haven't full out yelled at each other and had intense arguments.

[Bobby Bones]

This is what it is. Travis Kelce revealed he never once had an argument with his fiance, Taylor Swift.

[Eddie]

Okay, that.

[Bobby Bones]

That feel okay. So I think I thought the George Clooney part was performative, which is why I didn't bring it up, because it's like 10 years we never had an argument. I feel like that's just him kind of being funny because again, you live with somebody, you're going to have an argument. Travis saying two and a half years and they never once had an argument as a response. I feel like that's just him going, hey, I don't want to mess this up.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, agreed.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, maybe I lock this down, then we can fight.

[Eddie]

Right. Once they get married, once they say, I do. You know what? I don't like it when you do this.

[Bobby Bones]

Now that we're married. Yeah, but do you think you guys.

[Morgan]

Could hold on for two and a half years and not say something?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, Easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, of course.

[Eddie]

You just have to just make up your mind. I'm not arguing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, whatever you say, dear. Until we get married. I'm sure people do this all the time in the reversal. I'm sure that there are women as well who do this with men. They marry somebody, they're like, hey, I don't want to screw this up. I want to get married. So their guy could be rich or it could be this situation. And she's like, I just want to get to the marriage because then I know I'm guaranteed something. It's kind of like an athlete. Don't get hurt.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

In your contract year. So I just Want. We're probably wrong about that. I'm sure it's a great, healthy relationship.

[Eddie]

There's no way, man.

[Bobby Bones]

There's absolutely no way. I agree. I agree. Maybe they're just not together that much.

[Eddie]

Oh, that could be it.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think about that? And so when they are together, it's all honeymoon period. Because he's gone a lot. Playing ball. She's gone a lot. I don't know. Singing. She's not on tour right now.

[Eddie]

Recording albums.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Album press. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been married for basically five years. Been together for six or so. And it's like, I just don't see how two and a half years into it, you don't have.

[Eddie]

But after you guys met, how quickly did you guys argue about something?

[Bobby Bones]

We dated for four months, and then Covid hit. So then we were just stuck in a house. We were stuck together. I think Mike and I were talking about this yesterday on a podcast. I think the first reality in my relationship with my now wife was because I never lived with anybody. Like, I never even had a romantic relationship that counted that I would consider, like, a big relationship until my wife. I never lived with anyone romantically, anything like that. And when we were living together during COVID there was a point where I would work in the morning because we work from our homes. And then I would just go, huh, I guess I'm gonna play video games. I play video games all day. And the reality moment was when she came and she was, hey, I live here too. Like, I know you work all day. I didn't think anything about it. I'm like, she's in the living room.

[Eddie]

So that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

That was kind of the first. The thread that was like, oh, I'm in a relationship now. I have to, like, have awareness that there's another person that I need to. Then it opened us up to have conversations that weren't comfortable, because that's where the relationship grows in uncomfortable conversations. But good for them. Maybe they just never fight.

[Eddie]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe they'll never fight.

[Eddie]

He said, fighter argument.

[Bobby Bones]

But even argue, because argues less.

[Eddie]

But, like, you can argue over, like, where we're going for dinner. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Can argue, like, what coffee cup you keep using without washing it every day.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys can call us. If you've been in a relationship and you never fought, that just means somebody's going. Maybe their personality is not that of a. Of conflict.

[Morgan]

I did see somebody make a comment. They both make so much money, so maybe they don't have anything to argue.

[Eddie]

About because, oh, you can argue about anything else.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't think money affects argument.

[Eddie]

Not at all.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been on both sides of the money thing and I've been just as just as argumentative. All right, thank you for that. Call us if you want 877-77-Bobby. That's our phone number.

First Episode How Southwest Airlines Used cheap seats and Free Whiskey to fight its way into the airline business.

[Eddie]

The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story.

[Bobby Bones]

We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons.

[Eddie]

And you know what? They're not all bad.

[Scuba Steve]

And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments.

[Bobby Bones]

That often get overlooked, like Thomas Edison.

[Caller]

And the electric chair.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to business history on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the shade is always shadiest right here. Season six of the podcast Reasonably Shady with Gisele Bryan and Robyn Dixon is here dropping every Monday as two of the founding members of the Real Housewives Potomac. We're giving you all the laughs, drama, and reality news you can handle. And, you know, we don't hold back. So come be reasonable or shady with us each and every Monday. I was going through a walk in my neighborhood. Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

The sign says, my neighbor is a Karen.

No way. I died laughing. I'm like, I have to know. You are lying. Humongous, y'. All. They had some time on their hands. Listen to Reasonably Shady from the Black Effect podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Bobby Bones.

[Lunchbox]

This is the Bobby Bones Show.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to go talk to Diana in Oklahoma. We were talking about Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, and he said, two and a half years, they've never had a fight. And I'm like, man, they must be the perfect mix of personalities then. Or he's just like, I don't want to fight because I don't want to mess this up. I got a good thing going. Diana, you're on the show.

[Caller]

Hi.

[Bobby Bones]

You're on. Go ahead.

[Caller]

Yeah, yeah. My husband and I, actually Today is the 16 year anniversary of our first date. We've been together for 16 years, dated for four, married for 12, and we've never had a fight. And I agree with Morgan that disagreements are different than fights. I think when you get two people who have a lot of respect for each other, you're going to disagree, but you're not going to blow up. And my husband's got the personality of very. He ponders things, he thinks on him. He doesn't just lash out. And I also think we were in our 40s when we started dating. We were a second relationship that matters. So I think that helps your mature.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And we. We've already been. We already been through all that. You know, when you're in your 20s and you get heated and just blurt things out, we learned. We learned from past failures in relationships. What. What doesn't work. And I think this. When you love somebody and you have a lot of respect for them. So if Taylor and Travis are just two, two and a half years in, I believe, and they probably haven't fought now that. I mean, they haven't disagreed, but I think they have respect for each other and they listen and maybe sometimes they agree to disagree.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you can have respect for somebody and still fight with them. So I don't want to make those two things.

Also, I think if you are together in your 40s and you both have gone through it, I think you probably understand what's even worth arguing about. And also, we're dealing with semantics here. He said they never had an argument.

[Eddie]

Argument.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we didn't even. We went to fight ourselves. I think some days, though, you just don't feel good. Some days you didn't get enough sleep. Some days something happens with something outside of your control. And most normal humans react in ways they're probably not proud of, which at times triggers a fight. But I don't think couples that fight have any less respect or any less love for each other.

[Eddie]

Yeah, my wife and I respect each other. We love each other. But we have arguments and sometimes heated arguments.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, arguments need to be the word. That's what we're using earlier, not fights. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, there's no swinging.

[Bobby Bones]

We've had fights. But it's all semantics, right? Some people consider a fight an argument, a disagreement, whatever the case is. I do think, though, it does matter if you've been through it already because it shows you then later on, some things are worth going through it again for and some aren't. So I completely understand Diana saying we gotta start dating in our 40s. Diana, I really appreciate that call. Thank you.

[Caller]

Thanks.

[Eddie]

Bye.

[Caller]

Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, bye. Let me go to Lucy in Michigan. She's been married 14 years. They've only had one fight. Lucy, is that true?

[Caller]

Yes. We have been dating since. Or. We started dating in high school, and we got married at 19 and 20. We've been married almost 14 years, and we've had one major argument in our whole entire marriage. I mean, sure, we have our little tit for tat, but it's nothing where we don't. We just don't get angry with each other because we talk about it immediately. And I feel like, that's key. Communication is definitely key to a healthy relationship.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And everybody says that. I think the type of communicator you are, though, matters a lot on how you actually resolve the conflict as well.

[Eddie]

And do you have to be angry to be in an argument?

[Bobby Bones]

I am rarely angry at anything.

[Eddie]

Right. And you argue.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So I am not an angry arguer. If I'm angry, I shut down until I am less angry. So again, we're dealing with a lot of semantics here. Tit for tat fights, all that.

To me, what I hear is we have one personality in this relationship that definitely is not about conflict at all. Is that true, Lucy? One of you guys is definitely not about conflict at all.

[Caller]

I do. I agree with that. My husband is definitely. He would rather just like, not not handle it, but I'm very much so. Like, if you're having these big feelings, if we're having like some type of feeling, like, we need to talk about it now. And I feel like over the years, as we've matured together and gotten older together, it's definitely helped him be like, yep, you know what? We need to face this head on versus, like, letting it fester.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're a lot like my wife. And that's been a bit of what our relationship has been like. Because I have the emotional maturity of like an 11 year old when it comes to being in a relationship. Just haven't been in a lot of them. I'm talking about not just romantic, but even like family relationships. I didn't have a lot of that. And so I've had to develop. And she's very much like Lucy, our caller, that's like, hey, this is happening. We need to talk about it. Where I'm just like.

Dewey, we'll wake up tomorrow. This will be a thing of the past. Lucy, I appreciate that call. Thank you for. For calling us and spending a few minutes with us. See you later.

[Caller]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I get it. It's personality thing for sure.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or it's a. I'm just gonna hold on as tight as I can so I don't mess this thing up for sure.

[Eddie]

So if that's the case with Taylor and Travis, who do you think is the. The one that just doesn't argue? The peacemaker.

[Bobby Bones]

Taylor's an Alpha, so it's Travis. I don't know that for sure. But Taylor's an Alpha.

[Eddie]

Right? For sure. You can tell that Taylor's the Alpha.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't say the Alpha or a Alpha. You have to be an Alpha. To be in a position of power like that. I'm not talking about in the relationship, just in general. You're not. If you're a CEO, if you are in the creative field, if you are a head football coach, you've got to be an alpha.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I, I.

I see what you're saying.

[Eddie]

I got you.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, what do you think?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think a lot of it is semantics, and I, I do think there's a possibility that they haven't ever argued. But the why and, and what, it looks like, you know, who knows? But I do, I do think they both have very matching personalities and that they want something to work, so they're gonna try and find any way to make it work.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, it's probably a lot easier if you're not together a whole lot, which I don't know that they're not together, but if you have jobs, sure. Every day's hunting.

[Eddie]

He plays football in other cities. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Thank you all for the calls. We really appreciate that. Eddie, we got a lot of calls about you trying to get your wife's ring size.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah?

[Bobby Bones]

Would you like to hear one of them?

[Eddie]

I would love an idea. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie wants to get his wife a ring, but he doesn't know our ring.

[Eddie]

Size, and she only owns one ring, and it's on her finger at all times.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that sucks. Carolyn in Colorado Springs. We're gonna put you on here. Hey, Carolyn.

[Caller]

Hello. How are you?

[Bobby Bones]

Good. You're on the show. Go ahead.

[Caller]

So Abby just got engaged, so that's a good reason to say, oh, you know, when's the last time Eddie had.

[Cliff]

Her ring checked for loose prongs or cleaned?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I feel you.

[Eddie]

I've never, never. I've never done that. So.

[Bobby Bones]

So you have a reason now to talk about that? Like, hey, Abby got engaged. Oh, I don't know if that's enough. I think what you do is you make up a lie. Like, hey, did you hear, like, one of Caitlin's, like, one of her, like, small diamonds fell out of her diamond ring?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. I wouldn't want that.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby was telling you about that, your prongs. Because I think that's. I don't think the Abby situation makes enough sense for you to check her ring.

[Eddie]

Right. Like, I thought of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. You need to have me lose something. Like, she needs to have lost something. And then it's like, hey, do you ever. Is that something you do is check it? I don't know. Could you pull that off?

[Eddie]

That's a good idea. I Think I could. I mean, I could probably, you know, dramatize a little bit and be like, I'm really terrible actor, concerned about your diamond.

[Scuba Steve]

Now.

[Eddie]

Can I see that? And then I'm just gonna. But where do I. Where do I take it? Do I have to buy one of those measuring things? Just keep it in my pocket.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good point. Is there a measuring thing to keep in your pocket?

[Morgan]

Yeah, you can definitely buy one on Amazon. Like a measuring kit for a ring. So if you do get it for a hot second, you can measure it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Carolyn's onto something.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So I just need it for like, two minutes to get that little thing.

[Bobby Bones]

As soon as you get it, you walk into the bathroom.

[Eddie]

What is he doing? My breath.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not going to be suspicious, Carolyn. I like it. I like where your head went. I appreciate you calling.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, see you later. All right, call it, guys. Call us if you want. 877-77. Bobby. Hey there. It's 999 on Amazon.

[Eddie]

The ring size.

[Bobby Bones]

One of these ring sizers, perfect. You just have to.

[Eddie]

Is it long? Like, where do I keep that thing?

[Bobby Bones]

Like the ones in the bathroom, under the sink. So when you walk in the bathroom, you just pull it out from under the sink.

I want to get to some more calls. This is June, who is listening in Mississippi. Hey, June, you're on the show.

[Caller]

Hey, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome. Morning.

[Caller]

So I've been married to my husband for 22 years and we have had one fight when we were. Either day, you're engaged, and I do think it's possible.

[Bobby Bones]

What about an argument? Because that's what we were using. And it's. Again, the word's been thrown.

[Caller]

Not really. We had one. We had one argument.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Caller]

We were dating. It was my fault. I apologize. After the fact, I was like. I was being really. Just inconsiderate, and I'm really sorry. He's like, it's okay. But you were being, like, outlandish. And I said, I realize that. And we have six kids together, and I'd never lived with anybody else before. And our kids said, mom, you know, you did a disservice because you never argue. And so we had no idea how to resolve conflicts amongst ourselves or with our boyfriends and girlfriends. I said, well, I could, like, make up a fight and we could, like, role play, but I mean, we never fight.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you think that is a great guy. Okay, so see, I have trouble when someone says they don't fight because somebody's great, like a great guy. Because I think Eddie's a great guy.

[Eddie]

Thank you, man. I think you're a great guy.

[Scuba Steve]

We all.

[Eddie]

We have fights, and we fight with our spouses.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you ready? Ever fight with bae? You kidding me?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we definitely fight. You're a great guy. But I think that we don't do it in the moment, though. So we would maybe say a couple words back and forth to each other, and then we'd shelve it, and then we both come back and say, all right, hey, this is where I was wrong. Here's how we can resolve it. So I would say, in the moment, there's not a lot said. We both know it's going to be heated. She'll, like, go to a room or something like that. Yeah. June, one of you guys personalities is again, is it conflict, Avoidant?

[Caller]

No, not at all. I mean, he's a. He lives with the one word of selfless. He's 100% selfless. And so I said, what, do you want to go out to eat Wherever you want to go. And they said, like, Chinese. Okay, we go Chinese. He's very much, you know, a godly servant heart. He's just. And he's kind, and he never, ever thinks about himself. He always puts other people first.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, maybe that's what we need to find then.

[Eddie]

Yeah, somebody needs to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So out of the rare.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a rare find.

[Eddie]

It's so rare. And then, like, so if I went to my wife and be like, all right, one of us has to be selfless. Who's it gonna be? How do you decide that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's something that is asked. I think somebody just has to be that person.

[Eddie]

Oh, the bigger person.

[Bobby Bones]

Because if I go, hey, Caitlin, I've come to the conclusion that one of us has to be selfless. And she'll immediately go, oh, thanks for offering. All right. That can be you.

[Lunchbox]

You're the one.

[Bobby Bones]

June, I'm glad you shared your story. Listen, all relationships are different, and I appreciate you, and I'm glad you found a guy that seems like an absolute dream boat.

[Caller]

Yes. Thanks so much, Bobby. Have a good day.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye.

[Caller]

Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. That's crazy.

[Eddie]

See, I think even if I told my wife, like, hey, like, we're arguing, I'd be like, you know what? I'm a selfless person. I'm just gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she'd kill me.

[Eddie]

She would kill me.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, she'd kill me. Good point.

[Eddie]

That wouldn't work.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't claim you're selfless. Because what I do, and it's annoying, is if I'm wrong about something, because I do have a problem with admitting I'm wrong. And if I'm wrong about something, I don't always go and approach it as, hey, I was wrong about this. I will approach it. I'll kind of go back door and be like, hey, I was thinking, what if we did this? And in reality, that approach is just apologizing for something I did on the other side.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But what I do. Because she'll say, you never admit you're wrong. Really little things that I've been wrong about. I'll go, and I was really wrong about how many tablespoons it took to make. And then I'll go, yeah. And then I'll be like, see how often I admit I'm wrong?

[Eddie]

She's like, that's not what I'm talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for that. Let's go to Cliff in Mobile, Alabama. This is about Eddie's ring. Hey, Cliff, you're on the show.

[Cliff]

Good morning. Show.

[Bobby Bones]

What's happening, buddy?

[Cliff]

Much. How y' all doing this morning?

[Bobby Bones]

Doing pretty good. What do you think about Eddie's ring?

[Cliff]

What you can do is what I did when I got. When I got engaged and got married with her ring. Is that. Like I said, when she's cooking, when she's, you know, doing whatever and it's off, grab the ring, put it on whatever finger. It fits you the best. But don't push it down. Just let it sit gently on your finger and mark it with a pin.

[Bobby Bones]

At the point of your finger.

[Eddie]

That's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but correct. How does he get the ring, Cliff? Because that. That's a great idea, by the way. I haven't thought about that.

[Eddie]

That's a really good idea.

[Bobby Bones]

But how does he get the ring, in your opinion, off her finger without her thinking something's up?

[Cliff]

A lot of times women don't wear their jewelry while they're shower. You know, this, getting dressed, makeup this and the other. No, it's attention to detail.

[Bobby Bones]

Detail.

[Cliff]

Come on, now. So like. Or when she's cooking. See my father when she was cooking. You know, sitting there, ring on the side, you know, you're goofing off.

[Caller]

Hey, let me see a minute.

[Cliff]

I got, you know, you got bigger does. I want to see what fits on my finger. You know, something just put on there gently and just mark it with a pen. You have a good eye of reference of what.

[Caller]

Where.

[Cliff]

Of where the ring is on your finger. And so you have a Better idea of what to get. So you, like, say if it lands in the crease of your. Of your ring finger, lands in the first crease of yours, you got a reference point, and you can go from that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think there's some brilliance in that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just step one is, how do you get the ring?

[Eddie]

Step one. I have seen her take it off when she's cooking. It's not all the time, but sometimes. So I'll keep an eye out for that. But once I do mark my finger, then I go to the jewelry store.

[Bobby Bones]

Then you measure your finger. You can use that kit.

[Eddie]

Okay, but that's, like, where you put the ring on it. That. That little measure thing you put the ring on, it tells you.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it is. You put the ring on the.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's like a stick. So do I have to just go to the. Maybe I go to the jewelry.

[Bobby Bones]

You could do that. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then show them.

[Bobby Bones]

You better make sure you don't wash your finger. Right.

[Eddie]

Like I do with a Sharpie after.

[Bobby Bones]

After that happens. That's a good point, too. I don't know. It just seems like at this point should be like, hey, I want to buy you a ring.

[Eddie]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Just. Yeah, let's go get. But, Cliff, I think that's a great idea for our listeners. Like, if you can sneak the ring, put it on, and mark your own finger at what that size is, that's pretty solid. We appreciate that call, man.

[Cliff]

You're welcome.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, see you later. Let's go.

I did have another poison pill game that we did not get to, which was Eddie and Math because Lunchbox lost. Morgan lost. We have Angie on. Hey, Angie. Angie in Idaho. How are you?

[Caller]

Good morning, Bobby. Good morning, studio.

[Eddie]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, we're gonna let you play a game here. You know, during the show earlier, we played the poison pill game with Lunchbox, played music and. Did you win Lunchbox?

[Mike]

I forgot.

[Lunchbox]

No. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan played 80s trivia. Did you win? I forgot.

[Morgan]

No, I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

And the reason it's called Poison Pill is because it's impossible. Like, this is their weakest category, and Eddie's is math. So if Eddie gets five out of seven. Right. Impossible in math, you're gonna be the big prize winner today, Angie.

[Caller]

Awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. All right, Eddie.

[Caller]

Eddie. I'm back in the year, Angie.

[Eddie]

I'm so bad at math, though. You have to understand. So bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Poison Pill. Here we go. Five is seven. Ready, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm ready.

[Bobby Bones]

What is 12 divided by three?

Does he get to use a pen, Mic?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's math.

[Mike]

I guess so.

[Bobby Bones]

You think so?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's math. Guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, lunchbox. Should have used pen. It's math.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think it's gonna make a difference.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It'll be right or wrong.

[Eddie]

I won't even know what to write down.

[Mike]

It'll be funnier if he gets it wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

12 divided by 3.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Couldn't even do that. And wrote it down. 12. 3.

That's not six.

Four. Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

How'd you get to that?

[Eddie]

I just counted. I was like, what? What number times three is 12?

Yeah, that's right. That's one way to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

What number times three is 12. That's exactly it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. What is the square root of 49?

Do you know what a square root is?

[Eddie]

No, not really. Something divided by itself.

Into the square root.

[Bobby Bones]

You're just saying words.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Yeah. I have no idea. What's the number? Square root of what?

[Bobby Bones]

49.

[Eddie]

I feel like.

Like. Oh, seven times seven. What's seven times seven?

Seven.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that your answer? Yeah, that's correct. How'd you get there?

[Eddie]

I did. Seven times. It's like a num. A number times itself is the square root. So I was like, well, what times. What is seven times seven? And I had to do. I had to go seven times five first because I know that one. 35. Now to count 35, 37. And.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you explaining is confusing me, dude. I knew better. What? It was before you started.

[Eddie]

Listen, that's how my head works.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you are.

[Eddie]

I have dyscalculia.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, dyscalculia. Okay, what's the next number in this sequence? 2, 4, 8, 16. Blank.

[Eddie]

2, 4, 8, 16. So 2 times 2 plus 2 is 4. 4 plus 4 is 8. 8 plus 8 is 16. 16 plus 16.

That's tough. 20, 24.

[Bobby Bones]

You had.

[Eddie]

Wait, wait, wait. 16 plus 16 is 20. Oh, that's not 24, idiot. 34.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not even that.

[Eddie]

Are you sure?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm sure. Because you had the formula.

[Eddie]

I know I did. And then what's 16 plus 16 then? So 10, 10, 26. And 4 is 30.

[Bobby Bones]

Where are you getting 4?

[Eddie]

32.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Gosh, I'm an idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

2, 4, 8, 16. Blanks.

[Eddie]

I would have gotten that with time.

[Bobby Bones]

We gave you time and he had, like, three guesses. Okay, missed that one. Okay, you can only miss one more.

What is 14 times three?

[Eddie]

And we did this hard way.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you been doing it the easy way?

[Eddie]

No, no, no. It's all the hard way. 14 times three. So 14. 14.

That's 28. 14. 30.

[Bobby Bones]

38.

[Caller]

40.

[Eddie]

42.

[Bobby Bones]

Your answer is 42.

[Eddie]

Correct. Man. It helps to gamble because sometimes when I'm looking at spreads, I have to do this.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, when you're on DraftKings, you're looking at spreads.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I see the score and I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, so if you gambled more, you'd be better at math for your kids.

[Eddie]

That's my point. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Okay, if you have 24 apples and you divide them equally amongst four friends, how many apples does each friend get?

[Eddie]

That's 24 divided by four. That's the formula.

Four times six times four.

[Bobby Bones]

If you have 24 apples and divide them equally amongst four friends, how many apples does each friend get?

[Eddie]

Oh, four times five is 20. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Four.

[Eddie]

Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't let your hand off the chess piece yet.

[Eddie]

I got it. Six.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

One more right, and you're the winner.

[Eddie]

Come on, let's go. I know this sounds simple, and I'm not making this up. I know that's simple math, but it is so hard for me to figure that out.

[Bobby Bones]

The perimeter of a square is 36. What is the length of one side.

[Eddie]

The perimeter of the square? So all of it is 6. Is 36 the whole thing. So 36 divided by 4.

Because 4 sides of the square. 4 times 5 seconds.

[Bobby Bones]

20.

[Eddie]

Shoot.

Shoot.

[Bobby Bones]

Answer.

[Eddie]

9.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. Winner.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You hit it.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You hit it.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Wow. Angie, we did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. You got five, right? You only missed. Oh, she talked to you like a child.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel stupid. No, no, she definitely hit you with that child. Good job.

[Eddie]

I knew this game was gonna make me look stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

Angel, are you proud of him?

[Lunchbox]

Very.

[Eddie]

Angie did you.

[Caller]

Very proud.

[Eddie]

Were you listening and being like, idiot, it's six. Like, idiot, it's four.

[Caller]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good answer.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba, can we get her, like, a assortment of prizes from the back?

[Scuba Steve]

All kinds of stuff we can hook her up with?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right, Angie, I hope you have a great holiday. Thank you for listening to the show. Hold on a second.

[Caller]

Okay, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there's Angie. Let's see how you guys do with them. Let's see. Only five seconds to answer this, though. Morgan, if a shirt costs 20 bucks and it's on sale for half off, how much does the shirt cost?

[Morgan]

Shirt costs 20 bucks and it's half off. It'd be $10.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. Lunchbox, what is five squared?

[Lunchbox]

That's 25.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, how'd you feel on those two?

[Eddie]

I mean, stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

You just didn't get to them. You would have got to them maybe.

[Eddie]

Eventually, but not that quick.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Morgan, a pizza has eight slices. If you eat three slices, what fraction of the pizza is left?

[Morgan]

Well, there's five slices left.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

A pizza has eight slices.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If you have three slices, what fraction of the pizza is left?

[Morgan]

Five.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight. Correct.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I got that one.

[Bobby Bones]

You did? Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That one's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. What's the square root? What's the square root of 121?

[Lunchbox]

121 is 11.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice.

[Eddie]

Gosh, that's so quick. How does he do that?

[Bobby Bones]

How'd you do that?

[Lunchbox]

It's just knowing your multiplication tables.

[Bobby Bones]

Gotcha.

[Eddie]

And just going to that number.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's like third grade.

[Eddie]

Rubbing it in.

[Lunchbox]

No, you asked how I knew it. That's how I knew it, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, multiplications are very much just memorization, at least for me.

[Eddie]

Do you think I can still go back and memorize it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, because you can memorize things. I think for me especially up until the 11s, it's all just memorized. I'm not doing any sort of math to figure out eight times seven. 56. Like, okay, there's seven of eight. It's just a straight memorization.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder if I song. You memorize the song lyrics all the time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can memorize things. But I wonder if I was daydreaming that day or what. Like, what was I just not paying attention when we were learning those things?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's a one day thing. I think your multiplication memorization is over. Like, I don't know, half of a semester of third grade.

[Eddie]

It's a lot of days.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a lot of days.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You did win though. So we'll get her a prize there. Nice job. Okay, let's roll some voicemails here. Hit me with number one, Ray.

[Caller]

Caller asked if you guys could do a Christmas dance party. I don't think she meant on Christmas morning. I think she meant just do a dance party with Christmas music in it. I would love that. If you could do a Christmas music dance party, have a great day.

[Bobby Bones]

That makes more sense than what I thought. Whenever I thought she meant do a Christmas dance party on Christmas day.

[Eddie]

You shut that down really quick because we weren't gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody listens on Christmas day. Except for hard working delivery drivers, EMS workers, maybe if there's ice, salt. Salt trucks. Santa, he's done by the morning.

[Eddie]

Oh, he's done by the. Yeah, he worked all night.

[Bobby Bones]

He's done by the morning. It's a great point. I will reevaluate my stance on that. Thank you for the call. All right, go number two.

[Caller]

My name is Cambrian Coover, and I just like to say me and my grandfather listen to your show every morning and we love it so much. And I just really wish because his birthday is coming up. It's on December 6th. He's born in 1949. He's turning 76. We love your show so much. I promise you. And I would not want to let him down for his birthday. I just really wish from the bottom of my heart to the top. We love you guys. And I just. Please. Pretty, pretty please. Anyway, thank you so much for listening to this comment. Bye. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

She never asked for anything. She just kept saying it's his birthday and she really wishes for something like a shout out, but she never said that.

[Eddie]

And I don't even know if she said his name.

[Bobby Bones]

She said her name.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Cambrian Cooper.

[Eddie]

He was born in 49, December 6.

[Bobby Bones]

As a matter of fact.

[Eddie]

That's that.

[Bobby Bones]

But she never really asked for anything and she doesn't want to let him down. We don't know his name. Camp Brains. Grandpa. Shout out. Hope Saturday's awesome. That's your birthday. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

She also said something that I've never heard before. She said from the bottom to the.

[Bobby Bones]

Top of her heart.

[Scuba Steve]

Of her heart.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And I've never. I've always heard somebody say from the bottom of my heart, but I've never heard bottom to the top.

[Eddie]

The whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, she got us in like eight ways there on that one. All right, go ahead. Number three. You guys are talking about why does.

[Caller]

Amy always stick up for a lunchbox? I figured it out. Amy is so scared of retaliation. She thinks that if she goes at Lunchbox or you guys go at him, then she'll. He'll retaliate. He's got the worst anger problem on the show. She thinks that he'll retaliate if she's mean to him.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what it is.

[Caller]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's a wonderful theory. Amy's not here today. She's missed the show today. She had some personal stuff. So that's why he didn't hear on the show or the podcast. I think there's something to that possibly.

[Eddie]

Great point. I mean, he's gone after other people.

[Bobby Bones]

Who, though would be scarier if they snapped Scuba Steve or Lunchbox. Like, who would you rather have snap on?

[Eddie]

That's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

No, Scuba. Oh, rather Snap on. Me? Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Who are you more scared of?

[Eddie]

Scuba?

[Bobby Bones]

Same.

[Eddie]

He'll kill me. Yeah, like Lunchbox can't kill me.

[Bobby Bones]

You're talking about physically.

[Eddie]

Yeah, his arms don't work. Like, he, like he can't. I don't think he can catch me. Well, maybe he can catch me, but I think I can beat him up.

[Bobby Bones]

Like choked somebody once and woke up afterward, right? Scuba? I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

You talking about man out of Ross.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, I did have a recent issue with a mall Santa thing in line. And I, and I quickly. But now, but now I've grown. It happened this past weekend and I was sick and tired.

[Bobby Bones]

Go, go forth.

[Scuba Steve]

And so, so we're standing in line and Santa's late. He's supposed to be there at 10. We had an appointment at 10 o'.

[Bobby Bones]

Clock.

[Scuba Steve]

It's now 10:45. I had one kid that just threw up, two other kids that are sick and tired. And so Santa finally shows up. The guy gets there and he's talking to people in line and we're in the reserve line and some lady just walks up in the standby line and he goes, all right, we're take you, take you. And then he looks at the lady who just walked up and he goes, and you're going to be next and then we'll get to you. And I was like, I was like, hey, sorry, dude, I mean, to cut you off, but we've been here for 45 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

And she just walked up and she.

[Scuba Steve]

Just walked up and he's like, he's like, yeah, I control the line. I was like, I understand. But just the logic of it is we've been here for 45 minutes and I want to go after that guy before she goes next in line. And she's like, whoa, whoa. I'm not, it's not my fault.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not mad.

[Scuba Steve]

She did nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

She's going to get choke slammed.

[Scuba Steve]

And I'm like, I'm not mad at you. I just want the logic here of us being here 45 minutes, we have to go next. And he's like, all right, we'll figure that out when we get to that. And I was like, there's nothing to figure out. I've been here for 45 minutes. We're going next.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba's in a confrontation with Santa.

[Eddie]

Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't his elf, right? It was Santa, I think.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm pretty sure it was. He had a pretty tight beard. And then, so then we get up there, we're going next, and I start to Stare him down. It's like one of those, like, Clin Eastwood type.

And then. And then I'm like, who's he gonna pick? Us or the lady that just lollygagged up there a second ago? And she goes to stand up and I go, don't even think about standing up. We're going next.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, did you say that with your own. Your physical words?

[Scuba Steve]

And then we walked in. I go. And we walked up next. And then I got up to the guy and I was like, man, I'm really sorry. I just. We've gone. We've gone through a lot and it's been a long day and I. And I apologize for how I acted. But it just logically in my head, it made sense for us to go. We've been here for 45 minutes and our appointment was at 10 o' clock and Santa's late. He goes, you're right, it's fine. It's just a crazy day. Da, da, da. So it ended up being all right.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see in the future of you choking Santa?

[Scuba Steve]

Huh? I saw me in the future of. I don't know what I was gonna do, but it was a busy day and I just. I'd had it. But I was pretty proud of myself to take a deep breath and then apologize for how I acted. Even though the logic of it is we should have gone next.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you think he was going to let her cut the line if she was in standby line and only got to standby line after you had already been in line?

[Scuba Steve]

I have no idea what that was because the guy had locked eyes with a couple times. So I'm like, oh, surely he knows we've been here this whole time. And my kids are a little, you know, eddie, you got four kids, lunch three. They're antsy. It's been no kicking away 45 minutes for anything.

[Eddie]

That's tough.

[Scuba Steve]

Especially when they think they're gonna be seeing Santa and one of them's sick and all this is going on. And I'm like, who the hell? What world is this guy in where he's gonna take them when we've been here for this long? It just didn't make sense to me. I was so pissed off by it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I could see where any sort of line thing makes me mad.

[Eddie]

Although I don't choke like the cutting lines. People cutting lines.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause that feels what that is. Then I wonder if Santa trying to get some action.

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Scuba Steve]

Like bored. He wants. He wants something to happen.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Meaning he's letting Some woman cut like. Is he trying to, like, get in her pants?

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, man.

[Eddie]

He's married, though.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, this woman was here. She was there by herself.

[Bobby Bones]

Look, Scuba. What?

[Scuba Steve]

The lady was there by herself with a kid.

[Eddie]

Oh, no. And Ms. Claus. She wasn't there.

[Scuba Steve]

Mrs. Claus? Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, single mom. Santa's far away from the North Pole.

[Scuba Steve]

Come grab this candy cane. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

Any. Any chance that that was. Is Santa just picking a woman?

[Scuba Steve]

If Santa's into that woman, sure. Yeah, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it doesn't make sense that he just picks her or anybody walking up in a standby line.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

And there's. And there's only three of us in that reserve line. I'm looking behind me, and there's no one else behind me, so it's like, why would you not go with us? We're in the reserve line. We already paid. We're here.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, that would make me so mad too. Yeah, Yeah. I don't rage out, though. I would worry about Scuba physically assaulting. I worry for Scuba. He's not feeling well. He's lost 20 pounds because he's been so sick. He's got this hernia tumor problem. He's got multiple kids. He's at the mall.

[Eddie]

That's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody just cut in line, and the.

[Scuba Steve]

Guy in front of me is like, you can go in front of us. It's not a big deal. And I was like, no, no, no, no. You're gonna go next, because for principal reasons, you're in front of me. So you're gonna go, and then we'll find out.

[Bobby Bones]

Amen, brother.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. One, two, three. And then go over to dealing with.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba's gonna snap on us right now. I've set us up to be snapped on by Scuba.

How was the Santa experience with your kid then? Was he equally as nice to your kid as the other kids?

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, super nice. They ended up having, like, a full meet and greet. They took photos, and they got to talk about what they wanted for Christmas and everything. So it was a great experience. And then the guy at the end felt really bad. He gave us our photos for free.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he saw what happened.

[Eddie]

He was scared. Retaliation.

[Bobby Bones]

He knew he's going to get the choke slam, too.

[Scuba Steve]

This one's on us. Don't worry about it.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to think, like, the elf or whomever this guy is, he also doesn't really want to be there.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Santa's been looking to that, looking forward to that for a whole year. Like, that's his thing. That's why he's growing out the beard.

[Eddie]

That's what he does.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, that's part of his personality. Like, we all have personality traits that we put on ourselves. A big part of personalities. I'm a big Arkansas fan. I'm an Arkansas guy. I talk about it all the time. You know, that guy all year is talking about how he's Santa Claus in the winter. Because he is Santa Claus.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And Santa Claus talks about it all the time.

[Eddie]

All the time. He's proud of being Santa Claus. Yeah. What do you do? Like, do you. When you're about to choke people out.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, do you just choke?

[Bobby Bones]

It just feels like Teen wolf, right? Like when he starts to feel it coming on, he's like, no, no, no, I gotta control. Or Hulk. The Hulk.

[Eddie]

Like, what do you see? Like, you see, it's like a.

[Scuba Steve]

It's like a pitbull, you know? Like, that moment happens. So the moment when he was like, all right, we're going to take you, you. And he skips us and goes. As a girl, the first thing that happens is I get this, like, rush of energy that goes from like your. The core, your soul, and it goes to your throat. And you have this half a second moment of like, do I say something? Do I say something? Do I say something? Hey, man, listen up, dude. And then you just. Then you.

[Bobby Bones]

Once you.

[Scuba Steve]

Once you've committed, you're like, oh, crap, I'm in it. And like the whole world stops and you're spinning and you're looking at everything and you're like, oh, my God. I'm now in this. I've now committed. I've told this. I've told this guy to stop for a second. Now I have to continue on because I can't be a little B. And I can't hold back. I have to.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta choke him. You've committed. Somebody's gotta get choked. Suck it.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

But I didn't physically, I didn't get physical. I didn't yell. I just. I just raised my voice.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get a ribbon for not being physical with Santa? Like, should you be able to celebrate? Guys, I think I should get a little credit. I didn't beat Santa.

[Scuba Steve]

And then when he walks away, I look at my wife, I'm like, can you have my back here? Like, we're logically, right? Like, we're next in line. We've been here since 10 o' clock and he's late. Why go with the lollygagger? We need to knock this Line out first. And she's like, I understand. I understand. But just. You shouldn't have said anything. It's just leave with kindness. Da, da. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm so sick of that fricking narrative.

I'm lean with logic. We're supposed to go next.

[Eddie]

But you don't understand the kindness thing. You don't understand.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm kidding, but I don't. But why not understand the logic of it all? Like, forget kindness. It's what makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

You have a lot of what I have. You're so insecure. Like, you're built insecure because of how we grew up that it manifests itself in different ways. Okay. And for you, I think it is anger, which turns into rage. I think it. Mine's equally as unhealthy. You're just a bigger dude. You probably could win more fights when you were younger than I could. Mine did not manifest itself in equally unhealthy ways. But I think that's. I feel like anybody. I'm so insecure that from how I grew up, that anybody disrespecting me is them saying they're better than me.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes, exactly. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I can't have anybody said they're better than me, because people treated me like that my whole life until I was an adult because I was a little, poor kid. And so anybody that's disrespecting me. You're telling me that I'm not as good as you, and that's so many wounds from childhood that that's where it comes from. It's like a primal thing that you're just like, I was. I'll kill you.

[Scuba Steve]

And I used to hold it in. And now that I'm confident and I'm not afraid, I'm like, now I'm just gonna speak my. My mind. Why not?

[Bobby Bones]

They have no idea. You could have been an NBA player for sure. They have no idea the athleticism that you possess. But I agree with you, Eddie. If I had to pick somebody to rage on me, if I'm picking, it's not Scuba.

[Eddie]

No chance. He'll kill you.

[Bobby Bones]

He'll kill you. He almost killed Santa. Yes.

[Eddie]

Now Lunchbox gets mad. He gets mad.

[Bobby Bones]

Who. Who rages out quicker of the two?

[Eddie]

Lunchbox, for sure. Like, that's like. I don't know what that pit.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought he was gonna kill Abby once right when they were cleaning out for the pallet.

[Eddie]

I thought, when we can hear, we can hear.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought he was gonna kill Abby. Abby, did you feel like he Was gonna kill you. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I had not been that scared.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you ever felt Scuba was gonna kill you?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Morgan]

No, not physically.

[Bobby Bones]

Not physically.

[Eddie]

Mentally?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

No.

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox. I had never seen that sign. And I was, like, shaking in that closet. I thought he was kidding. And then. No, he was not kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a joke. It was not a joke.

[Scuba Steve]

Nope.

[Morgan]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

It's been a few times.

[Morgan]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Any thoughts, you guys? Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Scuba before. Oh, yeah. I mean, when you're trying to steal my items, my stuff, my property, that's, you know, that's what happened.

[Bobby Bones]

It was all of our stuff. We all paid for it. Right?

[Eddie]

That was our power.

[Lunchbox]

She didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

But it was all of ours. It wasn't like she was telling your stuff.

[Lunchbox]

We were like, that's all ours. I'm defending our property, but nobody's coming to my house.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but we told her to get it. Like, the four of us.

[Morgan]

I was doing you a favor because you weren't doing anything.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not getting back into this. I feel Scuba snapping on Santa. I feel Lunchbox snapping on Abby's all time of year.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, what stuck out to me the most?

[Eddie]

Wonder.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Scuba shouldn't even been at Santa. He said his kid just threw up. I mean, that's just wrong on Scuba's part altogether.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, I tried to leave. My wife's like. She's like, we already paid for this. We can't get our money back. Let's keep going. And so I was like, all right, whatever. So we went and bought her a new shirt and got back in line.

[Lunchbox]

That's why when I went to see Santa, he was out sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Question about kids. Sometimes they just throw up, even if they're not sick. Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, my kid will have a coughing fit. And then she. I'm like, dude, you gotta chill out. Take a deep breath. And she keeps coughing and coughing. And then I'm like, is this an attention thing? And then all of a sudden, next, you know, over there in the corner of the trash can.

[Eddie]

You saw my son do that? You saw it in person. The little one.

[Scuba Steve]

Do what?

[Eddie]

He was coughing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but is he coughing because he's sick? No, because something's in his throat.

[Eddie]

He's coughing because someone's throat swallowing.

[Bobby Bones]

Spit in the wrong hole, whatever.

[Eddie]

The whole stomach came out.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Got it. Okay. Hey, everybody. Thanks for the voicemails. Merry Christmas. You can leave them before we wrap it up today. Don't forget, you can leave voicemails on our line. 8, 7, 7, 7, 7 Bobby we actually love them. To me, I'm very thankful for them because there are things that you guys ask or comment on that I probably wouldn't even think about again, because I'm not listening. I'm doing. And while I'm also doing the show, I'm looking at the next three things we're gonna do, trying to fit it into time. So when you ask stuff like that, it really puts us on things we probably wouldn't get on. So I appreciate all the questions, all the comments. Leave us a voicemail. 877-77-Bobby that's what's up. Thank you guys and we will see you guys tomorrow. This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
