But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're gonna go, you're gonna meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here, you're gonna get it in a mug or a glass. So you go to Starbucks anyway.

It's just. It's just.

[Bobby Bones]

You just inserted Cupid for no reason.

[Lunchbox]

It made it Valentine's Day.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, see, that's what I thought. Let's do the exercise. You have a dinner. You get to invite three living celebrities. Who are the three celebrities? I'll go first. I've always wanted to meet Adam Sandler and interviewed him on Zoom once a long time ago. Ran to him at the airport a couple days ago.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, holy crap. I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything. There was a guy in our group who did, and it was kind of embarrassing. But that's on. That's on the podcast 25 Whistles. But I'm the one that spotted him. I was like, oh, my God, Adam Sandler. I just pointed for a second, pull my hand back, because that's like, one of the three. That's one of the three. That's why I, you know, do funny music. Adam Sandler is a massive influence. Obviously David Letterman, and I mean, I'm wearing a Chicago Cubs cardigan now, but the first basement for the Cubs back in the day. Mark Grace, Those would be my three.

[Eddie]

It's a good dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Amy Adams, center, looked like you thought he would. He had big goofy clothes on, Like a big tie, dye color hoodie, and, like, oversized sweatpants is what he's wearing to the game. And he was just eating olives. He was. There's a little olive tray, and he was grabbing olives off the tray, put it. And I was. I went, like, trying to tell Eddie and Mike without going Adam Sandler, because I thought going Sandler would be so hidden that he wouldn't know I was talking about him. But he was super nice to everybody. But, yeah, I was right there. And I don't regret not. I don't want to bother people, but that's mine. Amy, your three.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna go. Robin Roberts isn't obvious for me just because I've always wanted to spend time with her. So, boom, she's gonna be at the table along with Theo Vaughn, because I think he's hilarious, and I'd like to see him interact with Robin. And then I'm gonna go ahead and for whatever reason, I have a little obsession lately with Morgan Freeman, and I.

[Bobby Bones]

Feel like that is Morgan Freeman. Oh, the actor. Yeah. You said it weird. Like, some girl like Morgan. Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean Morgan Freeman.

[Eddie]

Morgan Freeman.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan Freeman.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan Freeman. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. Because also, yes, I want to hear him tell us stories in his voice. Maybe it's because he's in Lioness, and he's just been on my brain lately. Like, I had a dream about Morgan Freeman the other night, so I was like, well, I gotta invite him to dinner. I just feel like that would be a really good combo.

[Bobby Bones]

I had semi dinner with the Ovon.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you ran into him at a restaurant?

[Bobby Bones]

No, he came and sat with us for, like, 15 minutes. We were at a restaurant? Yeah, he was by himself.

[Lunchbox]

And he said. Came and said hi.

[Bobby Bones]

It was me, Caitlyn and Brett Eldridge. And we were having dinner, and he was sitting, I don't know, two tables over. There's no food in front of him. And I walk up, I went to the bathroom, and I see him sitting there, and I'm like, hey, no food. And I'm like, hey, Theo, I'm Bobby Bones. I watch your stuff. He goes, hey, man, I watch your stuff too. And I was like, cool. I was like, just wanted to say hi. And he goes, you mind if I come sit with you guys?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So he come and sat with us, like, 15 minutes. He had just ordered, and then when his food came, he went back over to his table, huh? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. He just seems so random and so.

[Bobby Bones]

Random, and it was both. Was so random and so funny. He told a story about it because he's from Louisiana, from Arkansas. And his story was the last time he was in Arkansas, he went turkey hunting. And now I don't know if he's ever done this as a bit or if it was a random story because I laughed for probably 10 minutes. He said his buddy took him to this turkey hunting, like a lodge, a turkey hunt all day. They couldn't find her. They shot no turkeys. No turkeys. And so they gave up and went back in. And as they were getting back in the truck to leave and driving out, his buddy sees turkeys, like, get your guns. And Theo's like, no, no, game's over. Like, the shot clock expired. The buzz. You don't get to, like, grab a basketball after the game's over. Like, the day we lost, turkeys beat us. We don't get to grab a gun once the game is over and go shoot them. And I remember just laughing at that.

[Eddie]

It's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

He's awesome. Yeah. Never talked to him again. But he was just sitting there by himself. He was writing notes in a notepad.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so you're confirming he'd be a good dinner guest.

[Bobby Bones]

Be like, turkey hunting stories. Got it. Great lunchbox.

[Amy]

Oh, it's easy, man. Johnny Bananas. First off, he's going to be sitting at that table with me. We're going to be talking about Real World, Key West. We're going to be talking about the challenge and just everything that he gets to do in his life because he's so good on TV. And then I'm going to have Chelsea Halska from 16 and Pregnant and teen mom, because I've never met her. I've met a lot of the other girls that are on that show.

[Bobby Bones]

Teen Moms. Yeah.

[Amy]

And so since I've never met her, that she's the next one. And then last but not least, Jessica Alba. Single. You're married, but we gotta see if there's sparks.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

He just wants to know if there would be a chance.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Okay, I'll. No. The answer's no.

[Amy]

You don't know. How do you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I just guess the odds are, like minus 9,000.

[Lunchbox]

No, I think the odds are higher if she's at the table with Johnny Bananas. That she ends up with.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Or Chelsea or whatever. Yes. Maybe Eddie.

[Eddie]

I have to go Tom Hanks. He's my favorite actor of all time. Tom Hanks, number one. Number two, I gotta go Bob Dylan, because I feel like I've heard stories that he's such a nice guy, even though he seems like he's not a nice guy, so the stories he has would be amazing. And then I'm gonna throw this one in randomly just because I think she's so funny. Tina Fey.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That'd be good, right?

[Eddie]

Like, she would just make everyone laugh at the table.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

The worst is when you bring someone, though, with the expectation they're gonna make everybody laugh.

[Lunchbox]

You know, I have.

[Bobby Bones]

They never do. Oh, I had that thought.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The people you think are gonna be the funniest, they don't want the pressure to feel funny. In normal life, they are the funniest, but when the expectation is there, they're like, this sucks. I want to live my normal life.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Take it from somebody who always gets, that's my. Bobby's gonna make us laugh. And then I'm just sad the whole time. We'll do the rest of the show later on Bones. Let's check the voicemails. Number one.

[Amy]

Hey, I just heard the bit about.

[Bobby Bones]

A couple weeks ago about Lunchbox's hair.

[Eddie]

I'm his barber, and I just wanted to let Eddie know if he wants.

[Bobby Bones]

To come down and me to wax his.

[Amy]

I'll for sure do that for free.

[Bobby Bones]

Since he doesn't like my work. I'll see if I can get him looking right. That's his barber.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Eddie]

Nah, he's making that up. There's no way is that your barber.

[Amy]

Dude, I don't have a barber. I go to the first one available. Like, I have no idea.

[Lunchbox]

That's just some guy wanting to listen with me.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie saw Lunchbox's hair be a little jacked up after a haircut.

[Eddie]

You guys saw it?

[Bobby Bones]

I did not. I don't see much. I'm blind, but I'm not sure if that's his barber or not. That's number one. All right, this is Shawna from South Carolina. I wanted to say I just watched the comedically inspirational special that you had on DVR last night. It was awesome. I loved it because I've never been able to go see a show with y'all in it. The real question I had was you always talk about chat DBT, and you were talking about that. What is ChatGPT? That's what I'm trying to figure out. And how do you get it? All right, thanks. Good question. I'll answer that one. It's an app. It's basically AI. It's basically Google's AI, Right? It's just a better version of it. People freak out about AI, but we've had it forever. It's what an algorithm is. It's what Google. But Grok is the version on Twitter. ChatGPT is an app that you can use that has AI, so you just download it, and then you ask questions, and it answers you. Not always right, but generally speaking, it's pretty accurate. And thanks for watching my special on cmt. I was at the Super Bowl, Amy, and this random man comes up to me and goes, I never heard of you. I was stuck in my hotel room, and I watched your special on cmt. And he goes, it's pretty good. And I was like, thanks.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

And he goes, I just want you to know, I never heard of you. I was like that. You emphasize that twice. I hear you. I appreciate that.

[Lunchbox]

But what are the odds he never heard of you?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Saw your special while he was in the hotel and then saw you.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's what he said. He said, I thought people would be swarming you. And then I was like, I just keep taking, like, strays here. We get it. Not really famous. But then he wanted to talk about it. For a while. I was. That was super cool. Because in reality, somebody that didn't know the show didn't know my story, he said he was just flipping channels. There weren't a Lot of channels on the basic cable in the hotel and he said he came across it. So thanks to CMT for. For airing it. All right, number three. Eddie. Oh, my God, I love you so much. You are seriously, like my favorite on the show. But I was just scrolling TikTok and pro tip. Don't shave your head and your beard at the same time. It's just. Don't do it anymore, please.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, gosh.

[Eddie]

So. So is it like a hygiene thing where you don't shave your head and you're say the word hygiene?

[Bobby Bones]

Huh?

[Eddie]

Hygiene.

[Bobby Bones]

Who said hygiene?

[Eddie]

Hygiene.

[Lunchbox]

How do you say hygiene?

[Bobby Bones]

Hygiene.

[Eddie]

Hygiene.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, go ahead.

[Eddie]

So. So, like, is it like a health.

[Bobby Bones]

Thing where fresh, like weird.

[Lunchbox]

Like a look.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like a hairless rat.

[Eddie]

Oh, I've always been. I've been doing that since I shaved my.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you gotta keep a little scruff. I don't think it looks bad or. Sorry, let me. Sorry. A hairless chupacabra. Oh, yes. There you go. All right, Next one Morning studio. I have a morning Corny. How do you catch a unique bird? Unique up on it. How do you catch a tame bird? The same way. That's for you, Amy. Love y'all. I appreciate that.

[Lunchbox]

Same way. Unique up on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Next one last one. Go ahead. I am wondering if Bobby believes in the moon affecting the tide. If you believe that the moon affects the tide, like when you go fishing, for instance, it's important to know these things. Then if the tide affects the water, why wouldn't it affect us? I mean, if you want to get real scientific about it, we are largely water. Anyway, it's been brought up a couple of times, so I figured, why not call and ask the question. Have a great day. Thank you. Love the question. Love that you asked me that. Absolutely. The moon affects tides. The thing with astrology is that they're going, hey, you're born at this time. Everyone born at this time. You are this way. The moon affects tides. That's science. We're all affected by that. Not based on when we were born, how we were born, what day we were born. If retrograde's happening to nuclear war planes, I don't even. I knew what they do. Lions, Celsius, they just say words. Astrology is bull crap, that's all. But I do believe that absolutely the tides are affected by different things, including the moon. But that's not astrology. That's.

[Eddie]

She's saying including us because we are.

[Bobby Bones]

Mostly water, but again, has nothing to do with we were born. That's just generally where we are geographically on the planet.

[Eddie]

But do you think the moon messes with us, too? Because we are water?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. They say when there's a full moon, ers are more full.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa. I don't know what that means. I'm not going to commit to that one, but absolutely. Things are affected, tides are affected, water is affected by, but not based on when we were born and what moon we were born under.

[Lunchbox]

And in your house.

[Bobby Bones]

The birth.

[Lunchbox]

There's a house, too.

[Eddie]

Where's the house?

[Lunchbox]

It has to do with your moons.

[Bobby Bones]

Astrology is the dumbest thing. That's fun. Astrology's fun. If you want to read your horoscope, I'm all for it. That's fun. If you are somebody who's dedicated to it and believes it. I have real problems with that also.

[Lunchbox]

Guys, I hate to break it to you, but ER visits going up during a full moon is a legend. Urban legend.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I didn't say I could agree with that. No, that's. That's disinformation. Npr. Fact check. Your npr.

[Lunchbox]

No, I fact check myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. Okay, leave us voicemails at any time. 877-77-Bobby. That's our phone number. 877-77-BOBBY. Bones. A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here. You're going to get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

[Lunchbox]

Why would you do that to me when I thought we were friends? We are friends.

[Caroline D'Amore]

Los Angeles, 2021. A friendly neighbor appears out of nowhere. Nowhere. And promises to make all my dreams come true.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's not forget that David Bloom was a professional con artist, so you didn't stand a chance.

[Caroline D'Amore]

But my dreams soon turned into a nightmare.

[Amy]

Bloom generally targeted people with money, and.

[Caroline D'Amore]

I was not alone.

[Bobby Bones]

He took over 100 people for over $15 million.

[Eddie]

One of the victims was his own grandmother.

[Mary Kay McBrayer]

I was married to David from 10 years. It was insane. I was barely functioning. And I just had this realization that he will not stop until he kills me.

[Caroline D'Amore]

Getting a con artist to pay for their crimes isn't easy.

[Amy]

Charge David blum.

Snakes, Zombies. Sharks. Heights. Speaking in public. The list of fears is endless. But while you're clutching your blanket in the dark, wondering if that sound in the hall was actually a footstep, the real danger is in your hand when you're behind the wheel. And while you might think a great white shark is scary, what's really terrifying and even deadly is distracted driving. Eyes forward. Don't drive distracted.

[Bobby Bones]

I did the iPhone update this morning. I'd seen a story where Apple's like, if you get it, you just need to update your phone. Amy, have you done yours yet? No. It took a long time. Okay, that means it's a pretty heavy one. But Apple announced a security breach that could allow other parties to bypass passcodes and pull stuff from your phone, even if locked. And so they released a new patch. It's been on my phone for a couple days. I just haven't done it because you have to be plugged in. It'd be charging for the most part, and then it takes a while, but it's just like, do it. Because if you don't, a hacker or law enforcement could gain full access to vulnerable devices. And a hacker, that's fine. Law enforcement. Hey, stay out of my stuff. They're kidding.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I noticed you're looking at your phone.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because I have to figure out why I don't have a little red dot saying I need it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, maybe an Auto.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, you have so many red dots all over all of your phone. I don't know that you'd know which one's which.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so. Oh, wow. This update provides important bug fixes and security updates, and it's recommended for all users. Update now.

[Bobby Bones]

If you do, it's going to shut your phone down for 20 minutes.

[Lunchbox]

That's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

That's okay.

[Lunchbox]

We have to work. I just need to plug it in. Do you have a plug?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I want to do it now.

[Bobby Bones]

So everyone out there that's listening. This is just a PSA here. Update your iPhone. Another thing is, I just want to put people on to our podcast from yesterday. You will hear something that didn't get aired in its entirety because it ended up being, like, 20 minutes long. We had someone trying to scam the show. We ended up going after the scammer that was trying to scam us. And so I want to play you a clip of the scammer before I tell you the story. I want to play a clip of the scammer trying to convince us. Hey, it's. It's okay. Don't be scared. Don't be afraid. You're safe. Don't worry. That's the scammer talking to us. And does that ever work? Is that like, relax? Like, if my wife and I are going back and forth, just relax. That never works. I think if someone is like, hey, don't be afraid.

[Lunchbox]

I know. I just don't stand there, you know, with, like, a script. It's like, if they say this, Say these words. If they say this. And so I don't know if he was, like, going through a script. He's like, okay, this will probably work. You are safe.

[Bobby Bones]

You are safe.

[Lunchbox]

Don't be afraid.

[Bobby Bones]

So a week or so ago, we got an email asking Amy to be on a podcast for one of the teen moms, Kaylin Lowry. Correct. It felt a little weird because they went to Amy and not Lunchbox. So we laughed at Lunchbox. We were like, this is your favorite show. They're not asking you, they're asking Amy. But it also. We kind of thought it was a scam because they were like, we're going to do it on Facebook. We're like, ah.

[Lunchbox]

But they hadn't asked for money yet. So we were like, what's the deal?

[Bobby Bones]

So we chased it to see if they would.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And Amy's like, I'm in. Just to see what they would say. They still didn't ask for money. They said, okay. Well, what time can you set up the appointment? Amy's like, 11:00am you know, after our show is over, we get online and we sit and we wait, and they send Amy a code to log into Zoom. We debated. We weren't gonna click the link, and we debated putting the code to get into the Zoom. And then we said no. And I said, why don't you just set up a new Zoom and invite them to your Zoom so you'd have control, thinking, there's no way they'll do this. I'll be dang if they didn't do it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, because we were in there waiting. I was like, he's not showing. He's not showing. And then all of a sudden, he was in the waiting room, and I let him in.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

No visual, though. He's like, oh, of course I was on camera.

[Bobby Bones]

But, yeah, he wouldn't show his face.

[Lunchbox]

He had a little graphic that said podcast. Podcast with a microphone. And, you know, that makes him seem really official, like, he's a podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

That's hilarious. I didn't know that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so he's like, why are you guys laughing? And Amy's like, I thought we were, like, doing a fun podcast because he starts to feel like we're. We've got. Like, at least we're recording him, and we got him, so he's feeling a little nervous about it. And Amy goes, where are you from?

[Lunchbox]

Wait, I love your accent. Where are you from?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm from India. My accent is not good. So the thing is, he's supposed to be her agent from, like, Florida or Pennsylvania. You got to lie and not say you're from India. That's probably where he's trying to hack from.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like, why in the world would she be stateside and hire a manager in India? But maybe he is from India and living in America, and I don't think so. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then as we're backing out because he wants to take control of Amy's computer, he's like, let's let me have control of your screen. And Amy starts to go, I don't know. I don't think I'm gonna do that. Then he said this. Don't be afraid. You're safe. Don't worry. Oh, you know, good point. Okay, I'm in now. I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, let me give you access to screen share with me.

[Bobby Bones]

You can go listen to yesterday's podcast. It's at the very front of it. It's part one on the 12th, and it's all 20 minutes and it's exactly how they're trying to scam you. We never let him have our screen. Obviously we knew. And then as soon as he knew we knew he was out. I did not know he had a microphone because now I'm starting to think he was real. It said podcast written on it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Cuz I was like, oh, I thought this was going to be, you know, we could do video. And he's like, no, no, no. This is an audio session.

[Bobby Bones]

And don't be afraid.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you are safe.

[Bobby Bones]

You are safe.

[Eddie]

My favorite was Amy Zane, like, afraid of what?

[Bobby Bones]

So it's on yesterday's podcast. Search for the Bobby Bones Show. And then if you have an iPhone and you're getting that update, I easily can see where you don't do it for a long time because I will sometimes ignore. I'm not a big red dot ignore. But sometimes it just doesn't show up as a red dot. So look and see in your settings if there's an update. Update your phone. So there's that. Call us as well if you want. 877-7-Bobby 87777 b o b y Bones, have you been feeling itchy lately? If so, experts say you're probably not allergic to anything new. That urge to scratch may be anxiety that is manifesting itself into itching and then you scratching anything here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I've heard about this. When you feel itchy and you're like, I don't understand why it doesn't look like I've been bitten or anything. Maybe stop and do some breath work or quick meditation and just try to relax. And you may find that the itching goes away. But if you start to scratch it, then it just becomes this whole thing where you think you're itching and you're not.

[Bobby Bones]

This story Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, it's where it's from. I just need to say that so I don't get sued by them. I'd hate to have a lawsuit from them. They talk about itching and how, again, it's in the mind a lot. If I just think about itching, I start to itch somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So like right now, I need to scratch my knuckles. My knuckles didn't itch until I started thinking about that. So now that's crazy. Do you. Yawning is contagious. Ish. Right? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I think if you don't yawn, yes, it's very contagious. And if you don't yawn, it means you're a psychopath or something.

[Bobby Bones]

But it is itching. Like, if you see someone scratch, do you feel the need to scratch? Likewise. I'm gonna.

[Lunchbox]

No, that doesn't. No. Doesn't make me itch. Oh, no. Am I a psychopath?

[Bobby Bones]

All right, next up, scientists say the smell of fresh pizza generates more arousal than any other food. They believe the aroma of. Yeah, okay. Of mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and fresh dough is the perfect aphrodisiac when it comes to smelling. It works for men and women. Told you guys about that cologne, that pizza cologne.

[Eddie]

Oh, pepperoni.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you know, it's perfume. It was perfume. It's pepperoni pizza perfume. And I said it could be unisex. It doesn't have to be perfume.

[Lunchbox]

But, like, the pizza council put that out.

[Bobby Bones]

University of Illinois. Okay, I feel you're coming from. A couple have had to put up a sign in front of their home after more than 100 buyers turned up to their door because a bogus seller used their address for a Facebook Marketplace scam. Since July, the couple, Leah and Gerard, have been turning away strangers who showed up at their doorstep to pick up the items they purchased on Facebook Marketplace.

[Lunchbox]

That's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, and you know, some of them are mad. However, every one of those hopeful customers walked away empty handed because they realized it was a scam. The unusual situation started when a woman walked up to the couple's door inquiring about a bicycle that she saw online. Then, quote, we had more than 100 people show up at our home looking for items that we supposedly had for sale. People from all over the state who had then purchased items showed up to get the items.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so don't ever exchange money until you have the item.

[Bobby Bones]

I've never bought anything on Facebook Marketplace.

[Lunchbox]

I have. I've bought and sold.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so is there an option to pay ahead? And is there?

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah. No. Well, you just, you work that out. How are you going to receive payments? Any cash, Venmo, whatever, and then you make the exchange. So I guess in this case, these cases, they're saying, go ahead and send the 50 bucks and then here's the address or 100 or whatever it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Or even like a. A deposit on it.

[Lunchbox]

They're. Yes. And they're sending it before they get there.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great scam.

[Lunchbox]

And, well, I guess they have to be shooting that. I mean, they have to be getting a lot of inquiries. And then, well, you first you got.

[Bobby Bones]

To put up like a general item that everybody wants. You're going to make a little money off of New York Post with that story that sucks with that family, though, all of a sudden people are showing. Because then I would feel nervous that people are like casing my house to rob my house or that somebody's going to get upset that and take it out on me or think I'm scamming them at the house.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. When I had nothing to do with.

[Bobby Bones]

It, that I was the one who did it. And I'm like, I'm not giving you that bike. So I just lie and said nothing to do with it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I feel like if I'm scamming you, think I'm going to use my own address.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's tough. Six men accused of kidnapping a family from a Chicago townhouse and forcing them to transfer $15 million in cryptocurrency. They're accused of this because they did this to the family members and a nanny and they forced them to transfer the $15 million in crypto before releasing them five days later near a dry cleaners. According to recently unsealed court records, the five day kidnapping, Seattle thought I was dead five days after like six hours. I'm thinking they're never going to release me. They like, what's the benefit of them releasing me after five days? I would for sure think I was dead.

[Lunchbox]

So I guess how did these people know that these people had that much in crypto?

[Eddie]

They probably knew them. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

The five day kidnapping is detailed in a 44 page FBI affidavit unsealed last week. Agents collected evidence, including receipts. They use zip ties and they had some unused ones. Some surveillance footage from rental cars to crypto wallets to Airbnb restaurants. All this information, it does not say that they knew the family personally, but somebody had to know they had this money. You don't just luckily guess on someone who's got $15 million, especially like these.

[Lunchbox]

People in this townhouse.

[Bobby Bones]

Good point.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, but I mean, townhouses can be super fancy. I don't know where this is.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I was thinking it was a super expensive townhouse.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I was going, maybe they just picked a rich house.

[Lunchbox]

I was picturing like the townhouse I lived in in college.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, me too. That's 200 bucks a month in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. I was living high. Yes. And I had a roommate. It was 200 bucks a month. That's from the Chicago Tribune. But yeah, six day kidnapping. I think I'm dead at the first overnight. Unless there's somebody who can get the ransom. Because then I'm thinking it's like a ransom Play. Because as soon as they get that money transferred over, because it's all digital, like, why would they not just kill you?

[Lunchbox]

Well, because they're not murderers. Not everybody that steals crypto wants to murder people. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

That's good to remind yourself of that.

[Bobby Bones]

You should put that on a coin.

[Lunchbox]

Next level. Like some people want to just, you know, get a little cash or rob 15 million. You don't want to kill somebody.

[Bobby Bones]

One of the alleged kidnappers, the 34 year old was arrested on January 17 while coming through. I didn't say anything about gang members. Yeah, that's a good saying. Amy, would you say that again? So T shirt makers everywhere.

[Lunchbox]

Okay? Not everybody that steals crypto and kidnaps and kidnaps people wants to murder people.

[Eddie]

Good reminder.

[Lunchbox]

I can't remember if that's exactly how I said it.

[Bobby Bones]

Footage from a Louisiana preschool of a fight club with 4 year olds. The teachers were having goodness. WAFB shocking footage showed two Louisiana preschool teachers laughing while they allowed students to beat up a classmate during an appalling fight. The mom, Olivia Robinson, told WFAB her 4 year old son was being plummeted at River Oaks Elementary School in January in the fight club Style videos lunchbox. We know.

[Amy]

So it looks like there's a 24 year olds or a 5 year old and a 4 year old and they are, I mean, here beating each other. And one kid goes to break it up and the kid goes, no, no, that has nothing to do with you. Like stops the kid from breaking it up. And you can hear the teacher laughing.

[Bobby Bones]

The other young kid, the very young kid.

[Amy]

So yeah, a third kid came in and tried to break it up. And teacher goes, no, no, no, that has nothing to do with you. And there was two separate videos. There was two different fights. I guess they were putting them up against each other and letting them go.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Amy]

And she didn't find out till a month later.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a saying for that one?

[Lunchbox]

Not all teachers are angels.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I would.

[Lunchbox]

But most are.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have thought it in, like, not all teachers are garbage.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like. Like these, like we just talked about.

[Lunchbox]

I like to keep positive words in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Flu activity is the highest in 15 years. The CDC estimates 24 million flu illnesses. There have been 310,000 hospitalizations. The highest flu activity is in the south. And they list the states, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and the western states. They're the most affected. Wdtn, it's. You kind of almost don't know why people are sick. Because there's so many sick things happening all at once. Like, Amy's over there. I don't even know what you have today.

[Mary Kay McBrayer]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Because I keep just. It's like a baby cough.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And it could be anything because it's.

[Lunchbox]

Not a real cough. Like, I don't have any. Anything in my throat I don't have. It's like dry. And I just have to go like that. And I feel better. But that's why I keep having to hit my cough button. And that's all I'm doing.

[Bobby Bones]

So we don't know what that is. Like, it's a mystery illness.

[Lunchbox]

I named it baby cough.

[Bobby Bones]

And finally, Taylor Swift's super bowl outfit cost $65,000. I feel like this is wildly unfair. And this is why they list her outfit. And they go through the stuff. And of course she's going to have nice clothes and expensive clothes. She is a billionaire. But I would tell you why I think this headline is unfair. They go through her outfit. The all white outfit. A oversized Saint Laurent blazer, 3,800 bucks. A scoop neck, sleeveless bodysuit, $1300 denim shorts, like 200 bucks. A cream color thigh high Paris, Texas. Pair of boots, $1,100. Gianvache purse, $990 red leather. You add that up, that's not $65,000. But then they start listening to jewelry. That's not fair.

[Lunchbox]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Because you could use people's wedding rings. And they just want the headlight. The headline. The headline. I feel like that's an unfair headline. Then they start to go through her jewelry and they're like, well, she was wearing this tennis bracelet and this ring. That's not part of an outfit. You can wear the jewelry every day. Am I wrong?

[Lunchbox]

You're not wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you feel like that is a misleading headline and want to just bully Taylor Swift?

[Lunchbox]

It still is a very expensive outfit. But like you said, standing by that Taylor has a lot of money. Like, her spending that on an outfit is like us spending.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not even my point. My point is you can't put the jewelry into the outfit.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, no, I'm with you on that. I'm just.

[Bobby Bones]

The headline would have been 2003, Taylor, Taylor's full outfit, $8,000. Nobody's clicking on that.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Eddie]

And the denim shorts, they were only, what, 200 bucks? That's pretty.

[Bobby Bones]

$210.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The most affordable item on the menu.

[Bobby Bones]

Tom Brady wore a $740,000 watch.

[Lunchbox]

How much?

[Bobby Bones]

$740,000.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Is the. The big gold watch underneath his. You see it in a sleeve, like halfway creep out. But it was a Jacob & Co. Timepiece, 424 gems. And they weren't like Tom Brady's one million dollar outfit right now. His watch did come up, but that was a whole separate thing. It was just a watch. Sexism. I say, all right, there you go. That's the news. Those were Bobby's big stories, Bones. A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here. You're going to get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

[Lunchbox]

Why would you do that to me when I thought we were friends? We are friends.

[Caroline D'Amore]

Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna need some help with this because I remember the story on a lunchbox. You were pretty big into the story. The Idaho murders.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they were. The guy, the Bryan Coburger, they like, pinged his cell phone. Just give us the kind of recap of what we knew happened.

[Amy]

What we knew happened is someone came in in the middle of the night and slaughtered. Murdered these people, stabbed them.

[Bobby Bones]

Multiple college kids, right?

[Amy]

Yeah, like four, I think it's three girls and a dude. And they. No one was saying who did it. And we couldn't figure it out. Everybody was just like, oh, my gosh, they don't have them. And it turns out they were following this guy as he traveled all the way across the country. And they found a sheath I think is what it's called, a nice sheath. Like where you hold the knife in it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's what that's called. Like a sheath.

[Amy]

I've heard that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

That's what it's in the news story. And they found one outside the house and they did DNA and they got his fingerprint and then they went to his parents house and got some of the garbage and matched the DNA and that's when he was arrested.

[Bobby Bones]

And didn't people at the time go like, yeah, he was kind of creepy.

[Amy]

Creepy.

[Bobby Bones]

And he showed up. Did he show up at like the vigils or stuff?

[Amy]

He drove by the house the next day. According to the cell phone, he was a professor.

[Eddie]

Like a professor's aide at a criminal justice college.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Not the same college, a different one. Like Washington State? I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

But that made everyone think he had knowledge of how to do something because he was in like the academic part of.

[Amy]

No one suspected of him except for the cops. Everyone else was online detectives and they're like, Oh, I think it was this teacher at the school. I think it was this person. They're naming people that had nothing to do with the case. Like, nothing. Like all these online detectives. And the whole time, the police, I guess, started tracking this guy because of his cell phone, his car being spotted on security cameras, and then the DNA. And now apparently there was other DNA found in the house.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's where this story comes in.

[Amy]

And so they're trying to get it thrown out. His defense is like, there was other blood. There was other marks on the sheath.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Amy]

So. And I'm like, oh, my gosh, if.

[Bobby Bones]

He walks free, well, let's listen to the evidence, because maybe I don't know if he did or didn't do it. I think at this point, we sometimes go. We were led astray simply by media and by the presentation of facts in a way that had bias. We never actually know everything. And I'll read you this. The attorneys for Idaho murder suspect Brian Kohberger have revealed explosive new evidence that they hope will set him free. The criminology student's lawyers claim blood from an unknown man was found on a handrail in the victim's home, and another's DNA was found on a glove outside. The shock claims may offer a glimpse at Kohberger's defense strategy. There is a possibility of the death penalty. Although the samples had been recognized in court filings, it was not previously known that at least two of the DNA samples had come from blood. So they had found other DNA, but they didn't know it was from blood, which is a completely different reason for it to exist, because you can just touch something and random people can touch. But why would there be new blood on the scene where all these people were murdered is what they're speculating that the use is going to be. In the trial, the attorney, Ann Taylor for Coburger, criticized authorities in his latest hearing as she said police did not disclose the unidentified blood when obtaining a search warrant for Coburger's arrest in December 2022, which prosecutors did not dispute. There have been many instances, and I think we've seen it over time, where law enforcement has wanted a case to go a certain way and have purposely not presented some things that would be counter to what they were pursuing for either political reasons, because, again, somebody can be a sheriff or police chief and can run for other offices. A big win. I don't know that he did it or didn't do it. I guess I just believe he did it. By all the stories and all the Speculation. But if his attorney says they did not disclose this blood and they knew they had it, that does make me go, why not? If there was this extra blood and they had it, why did they not present it with everything else?

[Eddie]

What was weird, and I remember reading about it when it happened, is that the murders, they say took place around 4am but the cops weren't called till 10am and the surviving roommate. There's a surviving roommate that was in there, didn't heard all the commotion, never called the cops until 10am But I.

[Bobby Bones]

Don'T remember the case like you guys do. But this is bringing up certain memories. She didn't like, walk out and see it though, right? She just heard something and there's probably like a lot of times partying or movement in a house where multiple people live.

[Amy]

Yes. It was known as a party house. And I think she did walk out and see him, but she just thought, oh, some guy leaving.

[Bobby Bones]

So she saw that specific dude.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so if he was there and.

[Amy]

I don't know, and that's the crazy part is why doesn't he go after her?

[Eddie]

Yeah, he didn't. He just walked right past her.

[Amy]

Just walked past her.

[Bobby Bones]

So the. Okay, great point. If he was the killer, you would think instinctually he would continue to kill anybody that was there that saw him.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Does that make you percentage points think? Well, now that we have this unidentified blood and with what you already knew of, she saw him.

[Amy]

She wasn't able to pick him out because it was dark. She did say that she was just like, I saw a figure.

[Bobby Bones]

He knew somebody saw him. That's what matters more so than she saw him.

[Eddie]

She said they locked eyes. In her testimony. She said they locked eyes.

[Bobby Bones]

But think about this. If she couldn't tell that it was him. Right. You're saying that she could not. So she doesn't know it was him.

[Amy]

Right. But the killer has to think, oh, they know who I am and I.

[Bobby Bones]

Just did some killing. What's the difference in one more? Why would they not if they think they could be identified?

[Amy]

That's a great question. And then the fact that she didn't call the police for so long and she was like, I just thought they were hungover and they were sleeping in.

[Bobby Bones]

But that to me doesn't hit weird. That doesn't hit weird at all. If there are constantly people there. And that's probably happened 83 times where there's partying out there and you just are like, I'm also drunk and hungover. I don't want to.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you don't think somebody just got murdered in your place?

[Eddie]

And did you ever see the video of them pulling. Is it Brian? Is that his name?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

They pulled him and his dad over twice for tailgating. When they made their cross country trip from Washington state to Pennsylvania.

[Amy]

Pennsylvania.

[Eddie]

I believe they were already on his tail. Like they already knew that he was driving from Washington to Pennsylv, Pennsylvania.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, why were they on his tail?

[Amy]

That's what I'm saying. They all the clues were pointing him towards pointing them.

[Eddie]

The murders had already happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, got it. I thought you said ahead of time.

[Amy]

Right now this is a couple days after the murders. And so they were tracking him and they even pulled him over and they're like, oh, where are you headed? And he's like, oh, to get some Chinese food.

[Eddie]

And the dad is like, well, no, we're actually driving to Pennsylvania, not getting Chinese food. He looked at his son like, what are you talking about?

[Lunchbox]

Okay, that's weird.

[Eddie]

So, I mean there's a lot of weird stuff like that where that guy does seem very guilty if he's a criminal.

[Bobby Bones]

If he's a criminal lawyer though. Criminal, student lawyer, whatever it is.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

He probably knows the things to say to cops though, generally speaking, that he's like, if a cop asks you something, just say you're doing this. Like if they ask you if you're speeding, if you knew you were speeding, you say no, because that's just what you say. So they don't have you on something.

[Eddie]

Like they were like in the middle of the country and like, where are you headed? Oh, we're going to get Thai food. And the dad's like, we're actually headed to Pennsylvania. But yeah, it's just crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, what do you think, man?

[Amy]

I still, and this may be media bias, I don't know all the facts. I still think he did it. The fact that they went and tested his parents garbage, you know, they went and snuck to the trash and what.

[Bobby Bones]

Was in the parents garbage?

[Amy]

His DNA. So they can match it with the knife pocket thing, the shifu thing.

[Bobby Bones]

So I wonder if he ever wore a sheath. Generally speaking, like when he was going to class or on a Thursday evening, did he wear a sheath normally? If so, I, I think that matters. If not, I think that matters because if you're taking a knife and you never take a knife anywhere and people end up getting killed by knife, that's like, well, that's weird. You never wear a knife. But if you could produce like four pictures of you just wearing a sheath on like a Tuesday. Yeah, that's different because he could have just had a sheath on. He always carries a knife. And it was just. The timing was extremely unfortunate that his sheath and his knife were in the same area. Yeah, a lot of coincidences here, but.

[Eddie]

And his car. His car was on the ring camera going back and forth before the murders. And then after the murders, he went back to check out.

[Bobby Bones]

Creepy. Doesn't mean you're a murderer, though. I just wonder why they did not disclose this blood if they had it. Because that can absolutely sink a case. Because you. And you know that too. You know, if I don't disclose something, even though it has nothing to do with the case, they can come back and go, well, you didn't disclose. That throws the whole case off. It's like somebody lying in a court case. A little lie that really has nothing to do with the big picture. But as soon as you catch them in a little lie, you're like, well, how do we know everything's not a lie? We just caught you in this lie.

[Amy]

That's what defense attorneys do. Man, they're good. Being a defense attorney would be weird because you'd have to.

[Eddie]

Oh, that'd be hard to live with yourself, especially if you knew somebody was guilty and you had to defend them.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't always know. Mostly you go, you have to tell me everything and trust that they do. But you're also, as a defense attorney, not trying to make sure everybody is not guilty. You're trying to make sure they're not over sentenced as well. So there's a protection there as well. Yeah, and everybody deserves a fair trial. Even if, you know, somebody did it, they still deserve a fair trial to not be over sentenced.

[Eddie]

So that makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's what our country was built on. So I can understand being a defense attorney, but, yeah, it'd be weird in some situations. Amy, have you watched the documentary yet on the Chiefs?

[Lunchbox]

The Chiefs of Holics? No, not yet, but I have started that O.J. simpson one.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the defense attorney, he's fake, right?

[Amy]

Like, he's not a real lawyer. There's no way he's a real lawyer.

[Bobby Bones]

Wild.

[Amy]

And that tie is three times too big for him.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I mean, is he the lawyer for the bankruptcy?

[Bobby Bones]

The defense attorney for Chiefsaholic?

[Eddie]

Hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I won't say anymore, but you should.

[Amy]

Hysterical.

[Bobby Bones]

We should watch it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, well, this whole blood thing is making me think of the. There's some new O.J. simpson thing on there. And of Course, we've watched tons about that over the years, but I guess there was, like, blood on a fence. Do y'all know the blood on the gate? And, like, I just don't ever know what to believe because I'm, like, speaking of police tampering with things.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, Mark Fuhrman purposefully didn't give all the details. Right.

[Lunchbox]

Which one's that guy?

[Eddie]

Who's Mark Furman?

[Bobby Bones]

He was on. He wasn't an attorney. I believe he worked for law enforcement. I'm going from straight memory because you brought this up, but Mark Fuhrman was a former detective for lapd, and I think in the end, he wasn't completely honest about some things.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, no. This documentary definitely shows ways in which there was some fudging and smudging going on, but they were confident that OJ did it, so they just really needed to make it clear.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Okay, here's the thing with Mark Fuhrman. Former Los Angeles police Detective Mark Fuhrman, who was convicted of lying on the witness stand in the O.J. simpson trial, is now barred from law enforcement under California police reform law. One of the things was he had used some racial slurs in past interviews, and then they found that he had lied, and maybe it wasn't even in. He had lied in some, like, police brutality cases. I don't know that it was the OJ Thing specifically, but I think it was the slur. And again, I'm going for memory here and trying to look this up last minute. Mike, what do you see?

[Amy]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly what it was. He made a statement about a call that led to Simpson's arrest for spousal abuse. He was charged with perjury for his testimony in the O.J. simpson trial. So there was something in the O.J. trial he lied about, and there was the racist statements that he apparently made, allegedly. And he says he lied on the witness stand. So you're right.

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah, there was just, like, a blood thing. And on the photos before, you couldn't tell if the blood was there. And then all of a sudden, the drop of blood is there. So they were thinking that the blood was planted. And then when they tested the blood, they found what's called EDTA in it, like a high level of that. And that is what's found if you put blood in a vial. And then. So that means they have the blood in a vial, then they put a little drop on the gate, but then somebody else is like, well, you can also get EDTA from gate paint. So it could have absorbed it from the paint. I mean, it's just like. But on the pictures, I don't know. And plus, I wasn't watching it well enough to really know everything. But it just. It would make it very difficult if you're trying to figure out what happened. And there's all this shady stuff coming up.

[Bobby Bones]

They asked again, I'm pulling from articles here. They had asked Mark Fuhrman a question about planting the glove, and he pleaded the fifth.

[Lunchbox]

Well, and there was photos of the glove, too, of it, like, being a different direction. Like, in one photo, the gloves face this way on the ground, and then another one, the glove is facing a different direction.

[Bobby Bones]

The YouTube header in this one is, mark Fuhrman lied about the time he was photographed pointing at the glove. So there obviously was some dishonesty and some attempted misdirection by law enforcement. It just reminds me, remember, this is going to be way, way, way long time ago. The Duke lacrosse. The girl that claimed she got raped by those guys and it didn't happen. It just didn't happen. And everybody destroyed them and it didn't happen. I think even the last year or so, she was talking about it again and she was like, it didn't happen. Woman of falsely accused 2006. 2006. Publicly admits to lying. So, yeah, I know.

[Lunchbox]

See, what's crazy about that is if you were to ask me today, and this is so sad and unfortunate, but if you were to say. If you were to just casually say, oh, what about the Duke lacrosse players case? I don't know that I would remember.

[Bobby Bones]

That she was lying because that was. You were inundated with the story and you weren't inundated with forever. You can't unring a bell.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I would think toothpaste back in the tube. It's like a lot of times when someone comes out and says, this happened to me by this person and it's proven it wasn't true. It doesn't matter, though. That person can't shake that reputational hit, because if you come first and hardest, you often win regardless of if it's true or not.

[Lunchbox]

That's so true. That's a good analogy for it putting. You can't put toothpaste back in the tube because you really can't. You can try, but it's gonna be messy.

[Bobby Bones]

I never even tried look so hard.

[Eddie]

I've never tried that.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I've tried. I've squirted out too much and I try to put it back in or like a nice skincare product because you don't want to waste that. And I try to like get it back into the jar. It doesn't happen. It's already out there, so.

[Bobby Bones]

My grandma used to say that too. You can't put a nice skincare product back in its oil of La bottle.

[Eddie]

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

[Bobby Bones]

But what's Oil of Olay? Is that a thing?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Is that still a thing or is it like. No, they still have it at drugstores and grocery stores.

[Eddie]

So how do they get the toothpaste in the thing?

[Bobby Bones]

I would think they have seal it. They have like a tiny thing that has toothpaste and it shoots it in through the hole, fills it up, then you seal it.

[Lunchbox]

Like a funnel?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like a tiny, like I would say like a bat. Like you're pumping a basketball with a needle air. It has to be smaller than the hole. Goes in, fills it up.

[Lunchbox]

See? Or they already have the lid on and everything in the back end of the tube that's open and they fill it up and then seal.

[Bobby Bones]

That part could also be a thing. But now I'm watching them do this on the Internet and what they do is they literally fill a tube, like a scroll with toothpaste from an over the top machine, drops it in. So you have all these scroll type things and then they take the scroll and they turn the scroll into the tube. So the scroll is actually the plastic tube. And just imagine whatever your toothpaste is made of, that container before it's that flat end back and the tube squishy on top. It's a scroll of that same. That's that plastic. So they fill that scroll up with it, that has a bottom and then they turn it into the tube.

[Eddie]

Wow. So they do seal the back.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, you were talking about. It's the whole thing.

[Eddie]

And then the top, I guess already has the hole on it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, it is completely a scroll with a butt. But it's. They don't even make the. The flat bottom yet. It's like this.

[Eddie]

I gotta watch this video.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't, because it's so boring. But we just. This is not how I would have guessed it. So imagine this, okay. Is. But imagine this paper's in the bottom like this. Okay? Yeah. So they just fill this up with toothpaste. So this has a bottom on it. And then they take it and they go.

[Eddie]

Got it? Yeah, but the top has like a whole screw system on it. So that's got to be part of it too, right? Like the.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah, the machine can make, oh, grooves do that. And then the top twisty is added after.

[Eddie]

Amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, it's crazy. I'll never think about this again in my life.

[Eddie]

But now we know.

[Bobby Bones]

But now we know. And so we started this with what, the Idaho guy? Yeah, Idaho guy.

[Eddie]

And so they're on trial right now?

[Amy]

No, they're just trying to get ready pre trial stuff, trying to get thrown out.

[Bobby Bones]

But it is weird to talk about the things that we were lied to or misled or even not on purpose misled. They didn't even know the facts till later. To give you a little perspective whenever you're watching a case like this, because my first instinct is, well, all this news coverage, they have all, boom, they have all these facts. Gotta be the person. And it still might be. But there have been so many instances where purposeful or not purposeful, it wasn't true. And the new blood makes me go, why didn't they reveal this? Just because they thought, well, this will delay it. Okay. Okay, great. Then delay it. So there's that. All right, thank you, guys. Bobby Bone show story of the day.

[Amy]

This story comes to us from Gainesville, Florida. A man walked into a local Target and stole three Dyson vacuum cleaners, about $950 each. Took them home to his girlfriend, said, look, got three vacuum cleaners now time to make some money. Let's sell them on Facebook Marketplace. So she went on and said, look, my boyfriend got these vacuum cleaners from the local Target. Who wants to buy one? And police were scrolling through Facebook Marketplace like, huh, Target vacuum cleaners. Those look like the ones that were stolen. So they made an appointment to buy one and arrested the boyfriend.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the mess up was saying Target.

[Lunchbox]

Well, the mess up was also selling them all together. And I mean, there's a lot of ways that you could have three together.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, how do you get out of there with three of them? Unless you know somebody, like, if you have a connection, I mean, they can leave them on the back deck, on the back thing. But how do you get out of there with three?

[Amy]

Well, I mean, you just stick the boxes in the cart and you run out the store.

[Bobby Bones]

Big boxes though, right? To try to get out of the store. Yeah, but the Dyson thousand dollar vacuum though too.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, well, it's Dyson, but some of them, they, you have to put them together when you get home. So the box really isn't really super big if it's one of the skinny little portable ones.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just thinking the vacuum cleaners we have, they're just Big, massive. Couldn't get out. I couldn't fit three of them in it.

[Lunchbox]

Bobby, when's the last time you vacuumed? Be honest.

[Bobby Bones]

What year is it? I've little vacked, like a little handheld. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I've either spilled something like a dust buster or Kayla's like, hey, don't let. We got this new car, but let the dog be over till we treat it. And I'll have the dog. I'll let the dog on the carpet anyway, because. Or I forget and then I'm like, oh, crap. Then I have to, like, get up here, you know, to prove that anyway. Yeah. All right. Thank you.

[Amy]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go over and talk to Preston in Knoxville, Tennessee. Preston, you're on the show.

[Amy]

So Lunchbox is honestly my favorite guy on the show. But why was he so worried about his kids going on that cruise for free when he won't even wear his boy boy's bracelet that he made him?

[Bobby Bones]

Let's ask him. You. You're up.

[Amy]

Bracelet is different than a cruise. Cruise is you get to spend time with your family, show them the world. They get to experience things that they have never done in their life. A bracelet makes you look like a chick. That's two different things. But, I mean, you are. You are a tough guy. I am. So why worry about what people think of you? I mean, I don't want people to think, you know, because if your image changed, then you don't get as much respect out there, and it. Everything's downhill from there. In this world, all we have is respect. And if people don't respect you, that's all we have. If they don't respect you, you got nothing, man. So a bracelet's going to make people disrespect you? Yeah. I mean, you don't think there's discrimination when guys wear bracelets?

[Bobby Bones]

You wore bracelets to the music festival.

[Amy]

They're not that type of bracelet. Those are manly bracelets.

[Bobby Bones]

They weren't manly.

[Amy]

Yeah. Disagree. They didn't have pearls.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I don't think any bracelet.

[Amy]

They were solid.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think any bracelet would be considered manly. Now, I'm not too good to wear. I don't wear bracelets, but I don't judge somebody. But I wouldn't think a bracelet would be considered manly. I bring. Again, I wear a purse. Right. I wear a man bag. So it's.

[Amy]

And you get a lot less respect for that.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure?

[Amy]

People look at you like, oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

But Preston, we are not. We're not the ones now not allowing his kids. The rules say you have to be 18 and up.

[Amy]

Right. Well, one more question for Lunchbox and I'm done. Do you think it would be respectful for you towards your boy to wear the bracelet? What do you mean respectful? I don't understand what that means. Should you respect his wishes and just wear the thing? Oh, sometimes I respect his wishes. But I mean, my kids want to, you know, jump off the roof. I mean, I don't respect that wish. I got to make decisions as a.

[Bobby Bones]

Dad aren't the same in any way.

[Amy]

Well, you had to make decisions as a dad that are protecting your kid. And that's one of the protecting.

[Bobby Bones]

They're protecting your kid from you wearing a pink bracelet.

[Amy]

Pink. And what color was that?

[Lunchbox]

It's peach.

[Amy]

Yeah. And pearl.

[Bobby Bones]

And how are you protecting them? I thought you were protecting you from.

[Amy]

Well, I'm protecting myself from.

[Bobby Bones]

Respect is all we have.

[Amy]

And also, I don't want other kids to be like, oh, you made your dad a bracelet. What are you doing making bracelets, dude? Like, you're a boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you care what other people think about you?

[Amy]

No, I don't care. But respect in the world, I feel.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that is a complete contradiction to everything that was just said.

[Amy]

No, no, you'll get less respect. I don't care what people think of me. But when I go out in public, if they're not. You know what I mean? If people aren't respecting you, that's getting the back of the line. Dude, you're wearing a bracelet. Hey, man, that sucks. Like usually it's like, hey, lunch, come to the front of line. Oh, you got that pink bracelet on. Get in the back.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you care people think about you?

[Amy]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Well then.

[Amy]

But I don't want to wait in line. I don't want waiting in line.

[Bobby Bones]

Now why is this waiting in line? What has this turned into?

[Amy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what he said. Okay. Hey, Preston, I really appreciate that. Call me. And I think. I don't know what to think. He just doesn't want to wear a pink bracelet because he is worried about people think about him. But he will not admit he's worried about what people think about him.

[Amy]

You know, I think that's what it is. Lunchbox, you're still my favorite though. You're a great dude, man. Have a great day you guys too.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank y'all. Alright, Preston, see You, buddy. Thank you. We will see you guys tomorrow. Dirk Spentley on the show tomorrow. Bye, everybody. The Bobby Bone Show.

But the great thing now at Starbucks is is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here, you're going to get it in a mug or a glass. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.
