This is the Bobby Bones Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go. I opened my Christmas gift from my wife last night. It really wasn't the plan because. But I got home yesterday afternoon and I saw a truck taking a crate off and they were unloading it into the garage. And I got home a little later than normal and I was like, what's that? And I was told it was a crib. I knew it wasn't a crib. And so I was like, I know that's not a crib.

[Amy]

I mean, it's. I think on the box or the crate, it said £200.

[Bobby Bones]

It was covered. All that was covered.

[Amy]

Oh, you couldn't see that?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Someone said that on Instagram too. Like you didn't know what it was. Yeah, right. It's written on the box. It was covered before I took it. Before I took the. Saw that. Well, I was gonna say what it was, but yeah, it was a 200 pound bronze boar pig.

[Eddie]

It's awesome, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

So it was in this big wood crate, and what I was getting roasted for online was the drill I was using. I didn't realize it was a cheap drill.

[Eddie]

It's a cheap drill. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I was.

[Lunchbox]

But did it work?

[Eddie]

It seemed like you knew how.

[Amy]

That's what I.

[Bobby Bones]

Everyone's hammering me like, well, okay, hey, great gift, Cheap drill. I put it on Instagram and I don't know how I got two songs up at the same time. It sounds like a cluster. But I was just gonna do I'm a Hard working man. And all of a sudden now when you go to it and my Instagram is Mr. Bobby Bones. You hear it should have been a cowboy and hard working man playing at the same time. Here.

[Eddie]

I'm a hard working man.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dang. How do you load two songs at the same time?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

I didn't know that was possible.

[Bobby Bones]

So you can see me opening my gift, this 200 pound bronze boar. I'm a big Razorback fan. If you're wondering why I got a big pig, super heavy, super great gift. And people were also like, why are you opening it on Wednesday, December 17th? Well, because I saw it come and it's also in the garage.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think she would have hid it better had I not been home. She's like, you might as well open it now. So we went down.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty cool. It's massive.

[Eddie]

Where's it going? Your bedroom?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Can you imagine?

[Eddie]

Right in the middle.

[Bobby Bones]

I pet it when I sleep every night. Yeah, but you can see it. It's super cool. I'm not giving her hers yet because she hasn't found it.

[Amy]

Oh, you have it hiding somewhere?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I mean, I hide everywhere.

[Eddie]

You always hide them?

[Amy]

Well, I didn't know if it was like.

[Bobby Bones]

She can often name the gift before it comes out. She's like, oz, that mentalist. She'll be like, uh huh, A purse Crap. Yeah. And she can also, when I Bring the box. She'll see the size of the box and just start guessing based on the box. I don't think she's ever missed.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, ah, box size. So I got a little trick up my sleeve with the box this year. I got Eddie a fire torch flamethrower. I saw you on your Instagram last night playing with it.

[Eddie]

I finally used it. Did you see me light the candle?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. No, you didn't need that for a candle.

[Eddie]

I know. That was the funny. That was the funny part of the video.

[Bobby Bones]

Your house is going to burn down.

[Eddie]

It's so cool. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys can hop in. 877 77. Bobby Rob Ray hit me with this voicemail right here.

[Amy]

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me five swollen testicles. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but lunchbox, please go get your testicle looked at.

[Lunchbox]

Boom. That was funny.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty good. We did that too. You can go listen on the podcast. We sang the song. Give me number one.

[Lunchbox]

Morning, Bobby. Morning, studio. I was just curious to see if you guys opened up your gift cards. I don't know if I missed it or not, but just let me know on the air that I didn't miss it or if I did miss it. Thanks a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Have a great show. Thank you. You did not miss it. Oh, he keeps going. Tomorrow somebody won a thousand bucks here in the studio, but somebody also in the studio will only win $10. So you can listen to that tomorrow on the show.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Appreciate that. So are the Oscars are going to YouTube in 2028 or 2029?

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Day outbid ABC.

[Amy]

Crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, no. Who's gonna watch that then?

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody.

[Eddie]

A lot of people on YouTube.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, I didn't watch it when it was on a major network.

[Amy]

Well, see, that's why you're like, who's gonna watch it?

[Bobby Bones]

You think less people watch YouTube? Yeah, YouTube is number one in total consumption of anything.

[Eddie]

I mean, yeah, I guess if I want to see anything, I go to.

[Bobby Bones]

YouTube even versus all television together. YouTube wins, much less a single network.

[Eddie]

So, like, if I have Hulu, I'm not gonna be able to watch the Oscars.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have YouTube?

[Eddie]

I have YouTube, the app, but I don't have, like, YouTube TV.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not YouTube TV. It's YouTube.

[Amy]

Just YouTube?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Not like YouTube.

[Lunchbox]

I was thinking YouTube TV too.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. All right, that makes more sense. You watch on my phone.

[Bobby Bones]

YouTube TV doesn't have its Own channel.

[Eddie]

But they're like the provider, the streaming provider.

[Bobby Bones]

It would be like. The comparison is you don't get Comcast and go to the Comcast channel. Yeah, it's on YouTube.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so I'd go to YouTube.com and it would be right there on the front.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, got it. Or the YouTube app. I think that's what I. I don't really go to any dot com anymore.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, but on your TV, you would have to go to YouTube.com. you'd go on the.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd use it. I go to the app.

[Eddie]

There's a YouTube app on your TV.

[Bobby Bones]

Every TV.

[Lunchbox]

I don't have it.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a smart TV?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Then you do.

[Amy]

You do. It's there.

[Eddie]

Oh, you might have to download it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'll check that out.

[Amy]

Or make it a part of, like, a.

[Lunchbox]

But yeah, I don't really go to YouTube to look for videos on my TV. Like, if I'm going to look for a YouTube video, I'm probably going to do it on my phone or computer. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

@Youtube.Com on your phone?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I would open the Internet and go to YouTube.com.

[Eddie]

Are you saying you don't. You don't ever type in dot com anymore?

[Bobby Bones]

People don't go to websites anymore. It's very, very rare.

[Eddie]

It's.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a small section. Everybody watches everything on apps or looks at everything on apps or even when I read news stories, I go to the app.

[Lunchbox]

Let me check and see if I got a YouTube app on my phone.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be crazy if you didn't have YouTube app on your phone.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, Morgan, do I have a YouTube app on my phone?

[Eddie]

Search it. Search it.

[Lunchbox]

How do I do that? I don't think I do.

[Eddie]

He does look.

[Amy]

Yeah, you have it.

[Lunchbox]

I do have it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you do.

[Eddie]

You can watch the Oscars now, man.

[Bobby Bones]

In two years. Look at that.

[Amy]

Sometimes I don't feel old, and then I feel old, and then I'm like my peer. When. When I see my peers. Cause we're the exact same age, you know, struggling like that. I'm like, we're old.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, there it is.

[Amy]

We're old.

[Lunchbox]

YouTube. It's on the last page.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why you don't ever swipe that far.

[Lunchbox]

I guess I never get that far.

[Bobby Bones]

The lottery tickets you guys got from your Christmas party.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It was in your bag. Amy hit ours.

[Amy]

Yeah. Have y' all scratched them yet?

[Eddie]

I did.

[Amy]

Okay. I finally scratched mine and I won.

[Eddie]

You won.

[Amy]

And did you see how there's Like a bonus. Did you see the bonus? I won the bonus, so I was a double winner. I have it right here.

[Bobby Bones]

Why does that make you.

[Lunchbox]

It's just the world.

[Amy]

It says unwrap the cash. That was the game.

[Bobby Bones]

How much was the lottery ticket? $1 when they bought it.

[Amy]

Oh, a $1 lottery ticket.

[Lunchbox]

So you probably won.

[Amy]

Yeah, 10 bucks. So, like, in the main thing, I scratch it. And it said, if you see a money bag, you win whatever's under the money bag. And then over in the bonus section, if there's a, like, a holly leaf, you win whatever's under the holly leaf. And I scratched it. Money bag, scratched it. Holly leaf.

[Eddie]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's exciting, huh, Winna?

[Eddie]

Well, what'd you win?

[Amy]

Especially since I never play. It's so much fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, what'd you win at that?

[Amy]

So, like, now I need to know what to do. I just take this to the gas station.

[Bobby Bones]

How much do you win?

[Amy]

And they give me $2.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that what you want?

[Eddie]

$2?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Hey, it's cool, though.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, it's better than nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

$2. She didn't spend a dollar on it.

[Amy]

Not a dang dimension.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Eddie]

There she is. Alabama.

[Amy]

So what I wanted to do is I was gonna give this to Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Amy]

Because he's always complaining about he never wins a lottery ticket.

[Bobby Bones]

She hasn't been to defend him as much lately. So she needs to give him that. She needs to pay.

[Amy]

No, wait. Do you want it?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'll take. I'll take free money.

[Bobby Bones]

$50 winner over here.

[Lunchbox]

Why would I not take. I'll take that, too.

[Eddie]

Wait. That's a winner.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a break even. I paid 54. It's one of my many scratch offs from the year. So I have 50 here.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Amy]

So what do you do with that?

[Bobby Bones]

Take it to the gas station.

[Amy]

And are you gonna trade it in for 15? Another lottery ticket or $50 or havesies?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm pretty much done with scratch offs again. I bought hundreds of them this year. Yeah, you don't really do havesies. You don't.

[Amy]

You can't take it in.

[Bobby Bones]

You can get all your money back and then buy one for 25 bucks. The Powerball was last night. Nobody won again. Wow. The jackpot's at 1.5 billion for Saturday's drawing.

[Amy]

It's gonna be a great Christmas for somebody.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know the numbers yet, so here we go, everybody. Lunchbox. You probably saw the numbers.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie and Amy, write down two, three, five numbers and a Powerball number.

[Eddie]

Okay, one through 69, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And that Powerball number can actually be the same as one of the other numbers. I'm not saying it is, but I'm saying it doesn't have to be a different number.

[Amy]

One through 69. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And the Powerball, I don't think, goes up to 16. I think it was up to 25 or something. 26 is the Powerball.

[Amy]

Okay, I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's see if you guys would have won. Eddie, you in?

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what do you have?

[Amy]

9.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Amy]

22.

[Bobby Bones]

Keep going.

[Amy]

13, 27, 54.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, what'd you have?

[Eddie]

I have 68, 3, 15, 21, 54, and Powerball 8.

[Amy]

Yeah, my Powerball's 18.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys got nothing. So no winners here.

[Amy]

See, that's how then. That's how it goes.

[Bobby Bones]

Good thing I didn't play 25, 33, 53, 62, 66 and 17. But it'll be 1.5 billion. The last big one was 1.78 billion. Like, massive. There have been 43 straight drawings without a winner. That's wild.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

43 in a row, no winners.

[Eddie]

I just think most people aren't playing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, right.

[Bobby Bones]

Most people aren't playing, are not playing. You're right. A lot more people play as it gets bigger, because it becomes more of a news story. It's not that people go, well, now that it's up to a billion. Perfect. It's that it becomes kind of pop culture.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I don't think of it until you read a story like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I don't think of it until it gets so big there is a story on it, which means it's getting close to a billion dollars. But there were five $1 million winners. Connecticut. Three in New York, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. And there was two $2 million winners, Arizona and Massachusetts. How crazy would it have been if your numbers. Amy, you'd have picked just now if you'd hit the Powerball in the numbers that you picked?

[Amy]

That would be very crazy.

[Lunchbox]

How sad would you be?

[Amy]

Real sad. I didn't play.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you have been sad?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean. Yeah, I would just. Well, I mean, I would know, realistically, the odds of me if I were to have played yesterday, because that's when I would have to have played. I would have had to come up with those exact numbers, and that just probably wouldn't have happened. So for whatever reason, I was able to tap into them today. But I would know that's not what I would have Said yesterday, speaking of.

[Bobby Bones]

Award shows and money, the Golden Globe gift bags that are coming up are valued at a million dollars. And so the people that are getting them, they get all this free stuff. You do have to pay taxes on it. Sometimes people don't take them. If you're super rich, you probably don't take them. I wonder if you could do what you said, only take some. You know how at the lottery ticket you're like, take half?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The Casa Belamar three night stay in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.

[Eddie]

Sounds nice.

[Bobby Bones]

At a beachfront villa worth $25,000. And it's available to five recipients. Like five people can stay. So that's in the bag. I guess they don't get you there. It's just the three nights at the place. Celestia Fenisi, a five day luxury yacht charter, $60,000. Would you guys like to do that?

[Eddie]

Charter a yacht? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Why wouldn't. I don't understand the question.

[Lunchbox]

What's the downfall?

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude.

[Amy]

Yeah, I need it to be like one of those big ones.

[Lunchbox]

What is.

[Amy]

So there's smaller ones.

[Eddie]

I was talking to someone in Florida that said that there's a, like catamaran that takes you from Naples, Florida to Key West. And it takes how long? Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

Two or three hours. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

What's a catamaran? And it's like a boat. No, no, no. That's not the same as this. And this is.

[Eddie]

I know. That's a yacht.

[Bobby Bones]

This is many nights sleeping on the water. That sounds so good. I don't like that.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Pirates? No, this is in Indonesia.

[Eddie]

Oh, it is?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's the Coral Triangle in Indonesia.

[Amy]

Oh, some catamarans have cabins.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but they said two hours. You're not sleeping.

[Eddie]

True? No, you just get to Key west and then party.

[Lunchbox]

But hey.

[Eddie]

So I don't know. That changes things. Indonesia. Oh, there are pirates over there, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know how to get to Indonesia.

[Eddie]

Like Captain Phillips, where was he?

[Bobby Bones]

I think so, like Somali.

[Eddie]

That makes.

[Bobby Bones]

Not really the same. I could go through this stuff, but it's a million bucks.

[Amy]

It sounds like you also have time for a lot of trips.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm. Three nights in the Gulf of Thailand. $15,000. $70,000 for this island. A two night stay at the Morocco, the world's first undersea residence.

[Eddie]

Whoa. Wow.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if I do that under the sea.

[Bobby Bones]

I would do that.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's.

[Eddie]

But you don't want to sleep on the ocean. But you sleep under the ocean.

[Bobby Bones]

Only because it's experience that nobody else really has had.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No one's done that.

[Amy]

Yeah. And there's a reason.

[Bobby Bones]

That looks crazy.

[Eddie]

What's going to happen? It's going to bust and you're going to drown. Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that's going to be the case.

[Eddie]

Pirates can't get you and they double check everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Mine's all about pirates. It's crazy. This thing looks like when you're in an aquarium, you're walking under it. Can you put the picture up on screen?

[Amy]

What's it called? Can you tell me? Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or you guys watch us on our YouTube obby boneshow. If you're listening on the podcast, you should look at this. We'll put it up on the screen. This is wild because it looks like when you go to the aquarium, you're walking underneath it and you can see everything but your whole room. Is that.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I'd be into this. World's first underwater hotel opens up in the Maldives. I've heard people talk about the Maldives.

[Eddie]

I've heard of that too.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at that.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh. That looks so cool. But that is.

[Eddie]

You know what I'm worried about there a crack. Peeping scuba divers.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

They probably keep people from going in that water. But I could see where that would be something.

[Eddie]

You know what I mean? Like, you got a scuba diver in the middle of the night, check in.

[Bobby Bones]

All of a sudden you're sleeping. You're like, wait, what?

[Amy]

How low are you?

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're not that low. But it's like tunnel.

[Bobby Bones]

There are full tunnels underwater. You guys are acting not.

[Amy]

I know, but that even those blow my mind.

[Eddie]

That's so cool.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, blows my mind that they can build a bridge and it doesn't sink. So this is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you seen that? What's up? They're down 16ft.

[Eddie]

Hey, you think you have trouble sleeping? You imagine you're sleeping. A big old shark's tapping on it.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't mind the shot. It was more the people watching and well, that the scuba divers not think about that. But they probably keep people from going in the water.

[Eddie]

Like they.

[Bobby Bones]

Where the rooms are. Have you seen. And I'm not sure what country it is. Maybe you can help me, Mike. They have the ice hotels.

[Eddie]

I've seen. I've seen like ice bars.

[Bobby Bones]

Wasn't that in a TV show? Yeah, it's in like Norway or Denmark or I think maybe Sweden or Switzerland. Sweden, yeah. Can you put that up on the screen? They have full hotels that are made completely of ice. And so much like this is underwater. These are obviously extreme cold climates.

[Eddie]

Now, what do you do you wear like a parka the entire time?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's probably kind of cold while you're in there. But the ice is probably so thick, too, that you can probably put heat in there and it doesn't melt everything. But look at this. Like, your room is all ice.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm not about that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it might be really cold.

[Bobby Bones]

And I like my room to be cold anyway. But this is ice hotel in Sweden. That's wild.

[Amy]

But then what do you do when it's bedtime?

[Bobby Bones]

You go to bed.

[Eddie]

It's frozen.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you never been camping before in your parka?

[Lunchbox]

Well, look at that bed. They got.

[Eddie]

Oh, fur. They got like a whole animal.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Blanket.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm imagining that the ice is so thick, it's probably warmer than.

[Lunchbox]

No, 20.

[Bobby Bones]

20 degrees.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Or else it would melt it.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, haven't you been camping before?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but not. It's not that cold.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I've camped in 5, 10 degrees.

[Lunchbox]

Have you ever been to the ice display at the Opryland? It is so cold.

[Eddie]

It's brutal.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you 30, 31 in there.

[Amy]

That's still cold.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cold, but probably just cold enough to make sure the thing doesn't melt all over you. You guys wouldn't want to do that, saying that.

[Eddie]

That doesn't. That's not exciting to me.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys have no adventure in you.

[Eddie]

No. I want to do.

[Bobby Bones]

The yacht says the room temperature is 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Yep. Making it chilly, but manageable. Dangerously freezing. Like the outside Arctic area, which can plummet to minus 40. Guests sleep in thermal sleeping bags on beds of ice topped with reindeer skin. Staying warm by trap body heat in its colder outside than inside. But it's significantly warmer than you think. You're provided with extremely warm sleeping bags, thermal suits. You do have to obviously stay warm. It's like going to a hockey game.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it's cold in there.

[Eddie]

What about, like, breathing that cold air? Is that bad for you?

[Bobby Bones]

I just would think it wouldn't be so uncomfortable if people are doing it.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, you're in a thermal sleeping bag.

[Eddie]

Reindeer.

[Lunchbox]

That doesn't seem very comfortable.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a unique experience when you're surrounded by ice and snow, but not as extreme as you think. You'll receive a diploma note in the temperature after your stay. And there are warm areas, too, in the building.

[Eddie]

Yeah, diploma. Because you survived.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's definitely something. It's an experience. It's not like you go for full luxury. Like it's not the. What do they call that place? Swiss.

[Eddie]

Like the mountain?

[Bobby Bones]

No, really nice hotel.

[Amy]

Really nice hotel Louis Ritz everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Ritz. That's it. Ritz Carl. Swiss Carlton is what I'm calling.

[Eddie]

That'd be nice too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that would be cool. I'll do that. I wouldn't want to do a week there, but like two night. And obviously if you're staying in Sweden, you're not staying in your room very much. If you're staying in this place because this is a place you only go because of the outdoor activities.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I just feel like you're in Sweden and it's cold outside. You're like, oh, I'm looking forward to getting back to the hotel where it's warm and then it's colder than it is.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you guys would not be fun to travel with.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Scientists discover a creature with 24 eyes that can see 360 degrees underwater. Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Of course.

[Bobby Bones]

Scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University found a new type of box jellyfish. The jellyfish name the tripedalia, is tiny. It has 24 eyes split into four groups of six. Has 360 degree vision.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

From Popular Mechanics. That is wild.

[Eddie]

Have you ever seen those videos where people like fish and they pull up a. Like a fish that no one's ever seen before and like Simpsons? No, no. Like real tiktoks. Well, I think they're real, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you get AI'd.

[Eddie]

And the fish has like teeth, like human teeth. And it looks like they're smiling. It looks like a person. It's so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there are fish with very human type teeth. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like they got lips, teeth and everything.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you got AI'd probably. All right, next up, a man set a record for singing Christmas songs for 42 hours straight. I feel like this is something Ray could do.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a singer, but I do stuff for 24 hours. Yeah. He did 38 songs repeated 18 times each for a total of 684 songs. Sets a new record. 63 years old. Broke the world record by singing Christmas songs for 42 hours. He did not lose his voice. He did at a brewery and people popped in to cheer him along. I think this is something that Raymondo could do. And my wife would fall more in love with me because she loves Christmas. It doesn't say he's a good singer. It just says he sang for a long Time. So I literally hate singing.

[Amy]

So you could do it.

[Bobby Bones]

You hate singing? Yeah, it's one of my least favorite things to do.

[Eddie]

But you're so good at it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, no. Just no. Music isn't in my family. So who hates singing? I'm not saying singing good, but I love singing. I don't know anybody that just hates singing. I know people that are maybe indifferent and they sing when something's fun. But you hate singing in general? I'm a listener. I'm at church. I'm not singing.

[Amy]

So at church you just stand there?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's a lot of guys at church that don't sing. Yeah, I don't mind.

[Eddie]

Mostly guys.

[Bobby Bones]

But most people don't sing at church because either A, they don't know the song, B, they're bored, or C, they don't sing well so they feel like they're gonna actually make it worse than it is. But if. What's your favorite song of all time? We talking country? We're talking Christmas all time. I would have to Chicago the new stuff. Country. I would say Ingrid Andrus, Sam Hunt. Wishful drinking.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Amy]

Yeah. So if that comes on, you're not just like. You don't have a good time singing, Tempted to sing.

[Bobby Bones]

I like hearing them sing it, but I ain't joining in.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Even in your car by yourself? No. What about Saturday in the park? I wish it was a Fourth of July. Not bad.

[Eddie]

Did you have fun doing that? Right now?

[Bobby Bones]

Not bad. Bobbing your head. Rather hear it than me sing it?

[Amy]

You know what song? I cannot stop singing and I've been doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, we hear you sing it all the time.

[Amy]

I cannot stop. No, that's right. That's her. Woman's right. No, it's just her. It's. She's from Texas. I can tell by the way. And then it just makes me want to. Two step.

[Eddie]

We'll do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Jump by yourself. Hey, how about it? Merry Christmas.

[Amy]

It's like all up in my feed now too. Like, there's some dancing cowboy at the airport. He like travels and he'll set up his camera and. Yeah, he was like in town. No, I don't know where he's from, but he's having surgery. He asked for prayers.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy]

I don't know this guy.

[Eddie]

What's his name?

[Amy]

I don't know. Cowboy shows up in my feed. I don't follow him, but he does the little two step shuffle around and he was doing it to choose and Texas or she's from Texas or whatever it's called. And.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S.

[Amy]

It's just a song. So good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a good one. Let's go around the room, Amy.

[Amy]

So do y' all ever shower in the dark?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

Okay. Cuz I saw this trend and now I saw it on Tik Tok. So I don't have, like, official research, but a lot of times people will shower in the dark because it's relaxing and they do it to unwind and rest their nervous system. But a lot of the clips that I saw, they said it's very important. Like, some people put on music, right? And a lot of people sing in the shower. They said you can't do any of that. No music. You just cut the lights off, nothing overstimulating at all, and you just shower in the dark. And it's called dark showers. The whole trend, and people say it's deeply restoring. So if you're overstimulated this holiday season or overwhelmed, try cutting off all the lights and hopping in the shower with nothing else.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how I fall and hurt myself.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. I have to be very careful. Maybe have your soap and things set out for you, but you could give it a try.

[Eddie]

So no singing in the shower at all?

[Amy]

No. No music.

[Eddie]

Sorry, Ray.

[Amy]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, man.

[Amy]

It doesn't sound like he sings in the shower much anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

Singing. Guy hates singing. Never heard of that before. All right, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Okay, so we talked about forever. Michael Jordan was trying to sell his Chicago home, and it was listed for like, $11 million. A guy finally bought it for, like, $9.5 million, and now the neighbors are upset because he bought it in. In hopes to flip it. Nobody wants to buy it.

[Bobby Bones]

So why are the neighbors upset then?

[Eddie]

Because he wants to turn it into a museum.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I thought he was renting it as an Airbnb, too.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he said that's not working. What I'm going to do is do an immersive museum where I put all this stuff. People can come pay a fee and come visit the house.

[Bobby Bones]

It depends what the zoning is. You can't have a business in a lot of neighborhoods.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So I don't know if that place is zoned for commercial versus residential. It could be double zone. Some places are zoned for both. I would bet it's not.

[Eddie]

But what if, like. So you have to go, like, the city and get a permit and all that.

[Bobby Bones]

If it's not zoned there, you can't have a business there.

[Eddie]

Unless the city council changes that, they're.

[Bobby Bones]

Not going to they're not going to grant a waiver in the middle of a community. It'd be like in a neighborhood, in your neighborhood, somebody goes, I'm going to turn this house into a business.

[Eddie]

Oh, that would make everyone so mad.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why they have zoning rules. Zoning laws. You can't do that. Now some places do have residential. Like we have a place here in town that we turned into some studios that it was residential and like professional or whatever.

[Eddie]

Commercial.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, commercial. Thank you. And it has both, but it's rare.

[Eddie]

I don't know. It'd be kind of cool to see the inside of Michael Jordan's house.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it would be cool too. I'm just saying, for him, that's probably the issue. You think putting up Christmas lights. Because growing up there was, I think that they called the Osborne family super rich in Little Rock and they would put up a massive Christmas light display at their house. It was the biggest in America. I don't know if it still is. He might have even died. I don't know. But they were super wealthy and people would drive and wait in line for like an hour and a half. But that meant you couldn't really get out of the neighborhood. It wasn't a business.

[Eddie]

That's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

There were no rules against it, but it drove the neighbors crazy because you could not even get out of your driveway because there's an hour long line just to drive by their house. So all the roads were full up. I have a friend that went to the In n out here. There's three of them now that have opened. There were two, they opened a third one. And all in small towns that are basically Nashville. So if you grow up there, you're from Nashville, but if you live in Nashville, it's like, no, it's Mount Juliet.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So they opened three in and outs, three different places. And he went the other day I saw him post on his Instagram story. I said, how long? Take it. So it took me only 35 minutes. I said. He said that I got there right when it opened at 10am and I said 35 minutes to be the first one in. He goes, yeah. He said, but we drove by at 11:30 and asked that a line was two and a half hours long.

[Eddie]

That's crazy. My son's been trying to go, but he's going like at 2 o', clock, 3 o'. Clock. And he's like, I can't do it, dad.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's an off hour.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that was his plan. He's like, oh, I'M not gonna go at lunchtime. I'm gonna go after lunch.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it looks like if you want to get something, you gotta go at 10 super early. Like wait before it opens, when they open. Has anybody been to the In n out here?

[Eddie]

Nope, not trying.

[Bobby Bones]

That Chick Fil a is annoying to get into at lunch, even here because at lunch that they're wrapped around now. They move that line really efficiently. But it's daunting because you go, I don't know if I want to sit in this thing because it's in the street. In a couple places like the one near our house, there's cars in the street and it's in a strip center and it's like blocking all the so around, like 11, 15 to almost one. It's wrapped all around. It's hard to park in the street.

[Amy]

If you want to go to any of the other stores there. Sometimes it's you get caught up in the Chick Fil a line. You're like, wait a second, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm getting over to the parking lot because the Chick Fil a line is blocking the whole place.

[Eddie]

But the in and out line, like that's going to die down.

[Bobby Bones]

Three months.

[Eddie]

Three months. You think it'll.

[Bobby Bones]

It'll not die die down, but it'll probably manageable.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan.

[Amy]

All right, so Kristin, you know the HR exec that was in the big Coldplay scandal?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

She's finally broken her silence.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I was just waiting for this.

[Amy]

She did her first interview with New York Times and she said, I made a bad decision and had a couple of high noons and danced and acted inappropriately with my boss. It's not nothing. She feels that she took accountability and gave up her career for that ordeal. But she more importantly wants her kids to know that you can make mistakes and you can really screw up, but you don't have to be threatened to be killed for them. Is her big statement that she threatened to be killed.

[Bobby Bones]

You get threatened to be killed for anything.

[Amy]

Oh my.

[Bobby Bones]

You just do something and you get kind of famous for it. If it's bad or good, you're gonna get death threats in your DMs.

[Amy]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

But death threats are also I wish you would die. And people go, oh, that's a threat.

[Eddie]

But they don't really mean that. They're just saying.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's also anonymous, so. So it's like accounts that don't even have their avatar with their real picture and not saying that it's not nothing. But used to when someone got a death threat, it was from a known person going, I'm gonna come kill you.

[Eddie]

That's scary.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Now it's somebody randomly on a burner account wishing you would die, and you're going, oh, I got death threats. So it's not nothing. But the death threat has kind of minimized itself over the last five years. And whoever gets killed by who's famous that gets a death threat from social media and ends up dying. Nobody.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I guess not a lot.

[Amy]

Not looking to find out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm not looking to find out either, personally.

[Eddie]

Remember the Liver King? Liver King, right. He had, didn't he, like, threat, threaten.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's a real one because you knew who it was threatening.

[Eddie]

What's his name?

[Bobby Bones]

Joe Rogan.

[Eddie]

Joe Rogan, yeah. And then flew to Austin.

[Bobby Bones]

See, that I would worry about. That's a real one. If you know who it is or you know what the group is, or there's something significant that someone would threaten you over. Like, that's not a real thing to threaten somebody's life over.

[Amy]

You know what I always get sucked into is when girls will make these videos of like, from the commenters in their comment section of like a guy saying, like one I just saw the other day, this girl is modeling this dress that she had and like her stomach is kind of sticking out a little bit. I mean, I didn't notice it at all. But, you know, then guys are in her comments like, oh, are you pregnant? Or oh, that you. You need Spanx or whatever. And she'll grab the. The comment and then she goes to their profile and gets their. A picture from their page and then she puts them on blast and it's rolling through. And most of the comments like, they are. They're older men that are like, would.

[Bobby Bones]

Never have a chance.

[Amy]

Unattractive. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Like taking out their anger on their life on her.

[Amy]

Yes. And I. I'll spend time watching those because it just is a helpful reminder of sometimes who's behind the keyboard. And it's like, please don't let that one comment ruin your day, because look who it's coming from.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, it's a great way to get engagement. You can find the one inflammatory comment when 99% of them aren't and post it up and be like, can you believe this? Here's the thing. And no, really, it wasn't the message that was running through the comments. You can just find the one articles do this where they will go. Person thinks Justin Bieber's a. The Internet says Justin Bieber's a terrible singer. And it's one comment from a post you can grab. You can find anything if you go into the comments to make your story, to create engagement.

[Amy]

Well, and what's also interesting about this is she admitted in it that she kind of had flirty feelings for him.

[Bobby Bones]

She wasn't, like, hooking up. My nose is itching so bad.

[Lunchbox]

No, this was the first time they had ever.

[Amy]

Yeah, she had some high news.

[Lunchbox]

She said she had some high news.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we believe that? Because I don't.

[Eddie]

That's what I was thinking. Like, there's no way.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no way you're in public like that. And that's the first time.

[Amy]

But she did say that they both bonded over going through separation. So I think both of them were going through a separation at the time.

[Lunchbox]

They were both separated. And she said she. She freaked out initially because she knew the husband that she was separated from was on a date at that Coldplay concert. And she goes. And I felt like it was disrespectful. Like, oh, I don't want to. And that's why she freaked out.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no way that was the first time.

[Eddie]

Well, I'm not talking about that. I just don't know. That's why they jumped.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they didn't want to be seen, especially him. Like, he had a wife.

[Lunchbox]

No, they were both separated.

[Eddie]

Well, then just say that. Like, any of these.

[Bobby Bones]

But people didn't know that the guy was separated. So they could have been separated, but people didn't know the guy was separated because at first it was like, married dude. Here's his wife and kids. She kicks him out of the house.

[Amy]

But, like, isn't that crazy that they were both separated and now both of them lost their jobs for that because.

[Bobby Bones]

They were separated, but they're not allowed to.

[Lunchbox]

It's probably the boss, the CEO, and the hr. Yeah, I don't think you're allowed to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that was our first time. Yeah, I would bet A significant. It just didn't seem like significant amount of money. That's the first time they did that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's what you can say now.

[Eddie]

Yeah, a couple high noons.

[Amy]

But it's like, why do this whole thing with the New York Times if you're not gonna. Like, she didn't have to speak. So, like, why speak if you're not gonna give?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably because people are hounding her to talk and she can finally say, well, I did an interview. I've said My whole story.

[Eddie]

But who's hounding you to talk like.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we're talking about it, so obviously there's interest.

[Eddie]

I mean, we wouldn't have cared.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't matter. It was one of the biggest pop.

[Amy]

Culture moments of the year.

[Eddie]

Because she spoke, though. That's my point. Because she spoke. We're talking about it. If she's not, they stop talking about it. We would forget, like everything else.

[Bobby Bones]

But people know that if she speaks and they get the interview, people are gonna talk about it and click into it.

[Eddie]

Oh, who wants that?

[Amy]

Do y' all ever. The New York Times was this New York magazine or New York Times? It's New York Times, but Page Six covered it. That's how people send me, like a really interesting looking article from New York Times. And then I click on it and I. It lets you start to read it and then it's like, now you need to pay to read the rest.

[Eddie]

It makes it blurry. And then I try to zoom in. I think I can read this.

[Lunchbox]

I try to click out and click back in real quick and try to get it before they.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I bet you there were a hundred different entities reaching out to get an interview from her.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And non stop. But you do it so they stop because you can go, I've already done the interview. I've said everything I need to say.

[Eddie]

That's who's hounding. Got it, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody.

[Eddie]

The publication.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Clicks.

[Eddie]

Got it. I felt like her family, like, will you please speak?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, oh, no, no, no, no. The people that want to interview, because they're going to get a lot of clicks because they know it's not that we're so interested waiting for it, but if it does pop up, we'll talk about it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it was a really stupid, huge, but hilarious and awkward story of the year. It's just crazy too, what goes. What goes super viral so fast. Like it can be nothing that you did or worked hard on. It can be just something that randomly happens in real life. They just get spread a little bit and the algorithm goes, well, people like this, let's spread it more.

[Amy]

I have one video that's kind of doing it and it's the most random video. But it's one of my elderly interviews. She said she had talked about how her parents were stepchildren and they got married. And that's what's going. Like doing something because everybody's stepbrother and sister. Yeah. And they got married.

[Bobby Bones]

It's her parents, they can't do that.

[Amy]

I know. You can, you can totally do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's not that weird if you are a step way older. Let's say you that you're. They get married. Let's say you're even like 16 because you're. No, you don't grow up together as brother and sister. But 16 year olds date.

[Amy]

They were 8 and 12, I believe.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a little more awkward, but also like the 40s and 50s too. So I just picture people out on a farm and they're like, who else? Yeah, we're not blood.

[Amy]

Yeah, I was at college with my half brother and sister's half brother.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Amy]

I thought about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Your quarter brother.

[Amy]

Yeah, but we're not blood related at all.

[Bobby Bones]

Like you don't gotta explain to us. You wanted to hook up with your kids?

[Amy]

No, my half brother and sister.

[Bobby Bones]

You wanted to hook up with your quarter brother?

[Amy]

Half brother.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we get it.

[Amy]

And like sometimes we would all go out and like our friends, we'd be like, they'd be like, so y' all could date. And we're like, yeah, we definitely could. And he's like a straight up cowboy. And I always been attracted to cowboys, but we never dated. But I think about that you were attracted to him, but I think about that sometimes. I think I was attracted to his lifestyle.

[Bobby Bones]

He also could have been a good looking dude. And also you had no blood with them. None. There's a way that you are not related to them at all in that scenario.

[Amy]

My half sister's mom married a different guy and they had a baby. And that is him.

[Bobby Bones]

And that is him.

[Eddie]

That's him. The cowboy.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's watch your story.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. There was a trucker in Indiana. He stopped at a pilot gas station and he goes in, does whatever showers, comes back out and he notices the safety seal on his rig is messed with on the back. I guess they have a seal so, you know, that way they didn't put anything new in their trailer. He's like, huh, that's weird. He opened up and there's a couple boxes that were not part of his original load.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow. That's like at the airport, don't take something from somebody and all of a sudden you're traveling with it. This is on the road though.

[Lunchbox]

And there was $16 million worth of cocaine put in the back of his trailer.

[Bobby Bones]

So did they know where he was going and they were just trying to catch it a lift?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

What do you do?

[Lunchbox]

So he called police.

[Bobby Bones]

Called police immediately.

[Lunchbox]

They don't know. They haven' track down whose it was. But they took the cocaine and they were like $16 million worth. Someone that knew his route.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they knew his route.

[Amy]

Yeah. And they know him.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know about that.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. Or else he wouldn't call.

[Bobby Bones]

He wouldn't have called the cops.

[Lunchbox]

He wouldn't have called the cops if he was in on it.

[Amy]

No, I'm not saying he's in on it. And they know. I don't think they know him like they have a relationship, but they know his name.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but he didn't do anything wrong. You don't go kill him.

[Amy]

He went to the police.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's wrong.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but he didn't know anything, though. So we gotta, like, you know, the drug dealers have to give him grades.

[Bobby Bones]

Trucker returns to find trailer loaded with $16 million worth of cocaine at a truck stop. I think the person who did it probably gets in trouble. It gets taken care of.

[Amy]

Right. Like, you idiot, this is how you decided to transport our drugs.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not the trucker that did wrong. He doesn't get penalized by the.

[Amy]

Yeah, hopefully.

[Lunchbox]

I figured they did this all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet they do, probably. If they're doing this significant. You don't do this the first time. You have done it right so many times.

[Lunchbox]

And the quickness that he's in a gas station and you're putting $16 million worth of cocaine into his truck. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like it's about 150 bags of coke. Wow. Stacked into a pyramid. They did the pyramid, though, on the table. It wasn't in his truck, but it's like.

[Eddie]

It looks like they put it in.

[Lunchbox]

Boxes in the truck.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I do not want any part of that.

[Eddie]

That's crazy that he noticed, too, that the seal was broken.

[Bobby Bones]

And also, if you're going to have that much. Let me just play gangster for a second. This is $16 million. So as much as it's a truck stop, it's a pilot, it's a truck driver, it's a truck. If you're going to put $16 million of anything anywhere, you need to be elite at how you're doing it. So I'm surprised they didn't reseal that or have a new. Because with that kind of investment, you do the little things, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You learn. Because this is obviously something they've gotten good at. The guy goes in, get him a Sodi pop, and they fill it truck up. They've done this many times, probably smaller levels. The fact they did not put a new seal on it, however you do that. Oh, that's not good work. That's $16 million. You got to protect it by doing every little thing. Right. And then have somebody, when it's received that is actually cutting the seal and taking it, they're in on it, obviously where the truck was going.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at that.

[Lunchbox]

That's just crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

For $16 million, you have somebody that is so efficient at this, they reseal it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. If you have this connection, you have the seals.

[Amy]

I also feel like you've been watching that trucker for a while. Because how do you know if that truck stop is just him running in to grab something or is he like running into shower?

[Eddie]

I don't think I. My theory is that the people that own the truck line and know the routes are in it with the dealers.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think maybe not that own the truck line, but people that know the routes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Someone that assigns the routes.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody has to know.

[Amy]

Well, and who's ever receiving it. They have to know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There's a receiver that's already in on it.

[Amy]

Yeah. So now that's an investigation. Where was the truck headed?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I'm. I'm curious now.

[Eddie]

Why do you want to know that?

[Bobby Bones]

Like it says it was in Indiana.

[Lunchbox]

But it doesn't say where.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Indianapolis, because I know wish TV. I have a friend that works there.

[Eddie]

Dude, $16 million worth of coke.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying.

[Amy]

Like, you know, like people aren't getting their Christmas coke.

[Bobby Bones]

And what's Christmas if you don't have your Christmas coke?

[Eddie]

Yeah, man.

[Bobby Bones]

That's one of my favorite Christmas songs.

[Eddie]

Christmas coke, you're not having a white Christmas.

[Amy]

That drug life, that's just not something I've ever understood. I'm not talking about the dealer side. I'm talking about like the doer side.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, probably cause you haven't done it. I bet it's awesome.

[Amy]

Oh, no, my cousin said it is.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I bet she was high functioning on some stuff like executive, like high up in her company and party by night, work by day. And it worked until it didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's where it gets up.

[Amy]

And then she went sober kicks in.

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah, I'm sure while you're using it.

[Amy]

But for years she was very successful and high functioning and it's so. But I mean, her life was unraveling. She just couldn't see it. But yeah, I don't know. That stuff just freaks me out for.

[Bobby Bones]

A couple of reasons. Most people get into drugs, want to escape the crappy situation they're in, which is. Which is why in a lot of the poor parts of the country, like where I come from, the south, even like Appalachia, that's why the pills. It's not because it makes people feel like, oh, wow, this is the greatest. They're in dire situations, and it actually removes them from that for a second. Or if you're in a good situation and you just want to feel great.

[Eddie]

You want to elevate it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's all elevation.

[Amy]

Yeah. And I had, like, this therapy thing that focused on that a couple weeks ago. Just a lot of, like, addiction and either alcoholism, and it's actually like, sometimes you want to think neg. Like, negatively of that, and it's sort of like some. Some addicts or alcoholics. It's like they're the ones that are, like, paying attention. They're like, something's not right. Like, I need to escape this and other people that are just living in it. You know, it's almost like we want to judge them, but they're finding a solution to escape. Like Bobby was saying, like, to get out. It's almost like, well, it works until it doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

There is a scavenger hunt happening now with Survivor, the TV show. They're hiding immunity idols in all 50 states. I think the finale was last night.

[Lunchbox]

Well, don't say anything. Don't say anything.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know who won. It's got a headline, so I don't know. I'm just making sure the finale was last night. But I did see this story that Survivor will launch the nationwide contest. Will you hit the clip, Ray? Next season, Survivor hits a major milestone. Our 50th season. This is Survivor 50. And to celebrate, we are inviting you to be part of the fun. This is your moment. For the first time ever, we are taking Survivor across America. We've hidden immunity idols, 50 of them, one in every state. Your job, Solve the clues, find the idol for a shot at an unbelievable prize. You can scan the code or go to Survivor 50 challenge and be a part of Survivor history. That's something that you should do.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I'm already gonna do it, but I'm scared to go to the website because I don't want to see the winner. So I'll have to wait till I watch it today.

[Eddie]

You're gonna wait? Why not get a jump start on it?

[Lunchbox]

No, because I don't want to see who the winner of this.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody may find it while you're just sitting there.

[Eddie]

I know, dude. You're Gonna wait because you don't wanna know who the winner is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness. See, I think this is why you don't get the things that you want.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, here goes this guy. What?

[Eddie]

Are you serious?

[Lunchbox]

What have you got?

[Eddie]

Nothing. I'm just saying.

[Lunchbox]

Salsa.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm in for this. I'm in for this. I'm gonna. I don't understand.

[Eddie]

Like, you have this a spoiler. I don't want to spoil my show when you have a huge prize waiting for you. Like, it could be right down the road. We're in the middle of the state. Like, what are you waiting on? And you're always like, oh, the world hates me. The world. You're not moving. I would move right? I would scan that code right now and start looking for this thing.

[Lunchbox]

Then do it.

[Eddie]

No, you.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I will.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks for that pep talk, Eddie. You donate a kidney, and I'll go find the idol.

[Eddie]

What? Okay.

[Lunchbox]

No, I mean, oh, I'm gonna donate a kidney. I'm gonna save a life. What do you do? You just sit there. I don't worlds against me every time this chicken. I'm gonna do a chicken business. What do you do? Sit there.

[Eddie]

Now the chicken.

[Lunchbox]

I'm seasoning. I'm gonna do this seasoning.

[Eddie]

What do you do? It's not sitting there. I have salsa.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna do a salsa business. I'm gonna start selling it. What do you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Sit there.

[Eddie]

I have the.

[Bobby Bones]

Sit there. He doubled it up. Now I gotta get on the rhythm. I gotta get on the rhythm with that one. Sit there. Sit there.

[Lunchbox]

That's it.

[Amy]

Sit there, sit there. I need some salsa.

[Eddie]

Don't worry, I got you. Okay, it's coming.

[Bobby Bones]

So in conclusion. In conclusion, dude, like, what's your point about him?

[Eddie]

The world doesn't hate you. You're just not doing anything to get the things that you want.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. What is your point to Eddie?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, all talk, just sit there. Sit there.

[Eddie]

It's gotta be twice. Sit there.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it possible there's truth in what both of you are saying?

[Eddie]

But I'm not complaining about anything. He complains about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Fair enough. You're not complaining.

[Lunchbox]

You just.

[Bobby Bones]

But you do say a lot that you don't do, but you are. It's different, but it's the same.

[Eddie]

I think it's more different than it is the same. He complained. Oh, why does somebody won the lottery? I didn't win the lottery. The world hates me.

[Amy]

Well, he does play.

[Lunchbox]

I do play the lottery. I went and tried to get on prices, right? I actually do still.

[Amy]

I mean, this year you finally went.

[Bobby Bones]

We kind of forced you to go.

[Lunchbox]

Nah, didn't force me. You just said I'd never go. And I was like, all right, you know what? I'm gonna do it. Because I didn't know. And then I booked the flight and I was like, can I really go? And you're like, yeah. And I was like, okay, good.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Eddie, your response.

[Eddie]

What are the prizes to this Survivor thing?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm.

[Lunchbox]

No, I don't know, man.

[Eddie]

I want to do it now.

[Bobby Bones]

If you went and tracked it down.

[Eddie]

And found it, then he can't say anything anymore. He can't be sit there, sit there.

[Bobby Bones]

But you would only be doing it out of spite. It's not.

[Eddie]

I would because this is my thing. I've never watched Survivor, like, not one episode in my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Are there any clues up now? No, it's 40 days. It starts. Oh, January 31st.

[Eddie]

Oh, you're good then. Dude, watch the show.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it probably starts. It probably starts the day the season 50 starts is what I would.

[Bobby Bones]

Assume motion will begin January 31st. That's when the clues will begin appearing online. It'll run through February 25th. That's fun. I'd love it if one of you guys found that.

[Eddie]

That means, I mean, right? We're in the middle of the state. Like, it's got to be.

[Lunchbox]

Are we? I have no idea.

[Eddie]

Like, yeah, like, geographically, we're in the middle.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you see on the contract there, Mike? Just looking at the prizes, you get like a three day, two night trip. Oh, in the ice hotel. Yeah. You go from catamaran to ice hotel. Motorcycle midlife crisis. Over the past few years, sales figures for Harley Davidson motorcycles have been declining. I'm not a motorcycle guy. I don't want to ride a motorcycle. I want nothing to do with motorcycles just because I'm scared of them.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the risk reward for me. And the risk is not even my risk of what I do wrong. If a car does wrong and hits me, I'm hurt or dead.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's not even that I'm not believing in me because I don't even believe in me to ride a motorcycle or drive a motorcycle, but I have to have faith in other cars.

[Eddie]

But what about, like, driving around the field?

[Bobby Bones]

But does that even. Fine.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Some people do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Motocross.

[Bobby Bones]

Motocross. Not jumping crap. Now the sport, like, I get that as a sport.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I'd be probably just how I Am more prone to do that than go on an open road with a Harley where someone could hit you and kill you or you hit a.

[Eddie]

Big rock and then like spin out of control. Dude, my six year old, like, I mean since he was three years old, he sees a motorcycle and his eyes get big like he will be a motorcycle rider.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm risk averse though when it comes to stuff like that. So just not for me. I'm not risk averse in every part of my life but in physical I might die type situations, I don't even like being up high. I have a big fear of heights. Just, it's cool. I see someone driving motorcycle, like man.

[Eddie]

You think that's cool?

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's cool. Like I wish I had that in me. Like the ability to just get out and drive because you also, you can't be on your phone.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like there's just a focus that you have to have to do it and I think just having that would be cool. I took a bath this morning. I've taken a bath six days in a row in the morning.

[Eddie]

That's the risk taker.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I can't.

[Amy]

You're such a rebel.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm not on my phone in the bath. I am for a second but then I just put it up and I'll do listen to three full songs and just try to let my mind escape.

[Eddie]

That's good. Yeah, that's really good.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you, Amy, get exhausted at like 4pm?

[Amy]

I don't, not that I recall. Every day, like, I mean it starts to get dark at 4:30, so I.

[Bobby Bones]

I get so sleepy every day around 3:30. 4:00 clock to where it's hard for me to keep my eyes open. And I do not a big nap guy. So when I do go to bed at like 8:30 or 9, as soon as I lay down I'm like, okay, finally I can go to bed.

[Lunchbox]

I'm up.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just like.

[Amy]

But yeah. So you're not taking a nap at 4?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I, if I do, I'll be up all night for sure.

[Amy]

Yeah, so.

[Bobby Bones]

So you guys don't get so exhaust, like sleepy exhausted.

[Eddie]

Mine's a little earlier. What time did we do the Bobby cast yesterday? Two, three. It's like two o'. Clock.

[Bobby Bones]

You get really sleepy where you fall.

[Eddie]

Asleep where my eyes are just like doing that every single day. But then I fight through it. Lasts about 30 minutes and then like if I do the nap thing, I'm out. I'm out for like three hours. But I Never. I rarely do that. So I fight it. And then about 30 minutes later, it just goes away.

[Bobby Bones]

My face is itching so bad today too. Like, my nose is itching.

[Amy]

Is it dry?

[Bobby Bones]

I know, like maybe. I know the camera's been on me sometimes and I've been like doing this on my nose.

[Eddie]

Just try to get it.

[Amy]

Is it like, you mean on the inside or the outside?

[Bobby Bones]

It just itches so bad everywhere.

[Amy]

Oh, I'm just like, oh, yeah, it's gotta be dry.

[Eddie]

Is your throat still dry?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, my throat's dry. Everything's dry. My eyes are dry. Sucks. All right, let's see what else we got. Roughly 250 packages are stolen nationwide every day from in facility or porch pirates. But 250,000 packages every day. These stores, these companies, they have entire departments of people who just answer calls to get people refunds. Like, think about the money they're losing because of porch pirates. Yeah, I did see yesterday too, a freedom of information act. A bunch of colleges to see what their balloon budgets were for the athletic programs. Did you guys happen to see this? Mike, would you pull the list up if you could find it? And so Texas was at number one. They had spent like $180,000 on balloons last year.

[Amy]

Oh, you literally. Balloons. Literally stands for balloons. I was about to ask you what balloons stood for.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, no balloons.

[Lunchbox]

Like literal balloons.

[Bobby Bones]

For like parties.

[Amy]

You mean like literal balloons?

[Eddie]

Yeah, like blow them up. They're pretty colors, you know, I thought.

[Bobby Bones]

It was like a public university. It's all gotta be out. And the reason I it popped up my Twitter feed is because Arkansas was like fifth or sixth. They had spent like 60 grand last year on balloons. Really? Yeah, there was a whole.

[Amy]

That's good. For the balloon company in the area.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess there's a whole chart on balloon use amongst public universities. It was all athletic programs. So Texas was full athletics. Everybody else was college. But yeah, I'm not a big balloon guy.

[Eddie]

I mean, but they're nice when they're cute when they're around.

[Amy]

Right. They're a vibe.

[Bobby Bones]

The average American will pay off more than $1.7 million in debt between the ages of 18 and 78. Covering mortgages, auto loans, student debt, and credit cards. Debt peaks twice. First at age 38, then at age 61. Mortgage consumed 62.6 of a lifetime debt $1.1 million. Then cars, then credit cards, then student loans.

[Amy]

Like, I don't personally feel good with debt. Don't like that. Try not to have debt. Someone I came across some Video of someone just. I. Surely it was satire, but I don't know. But they're like, we all die anyway, so who cares? Like, rack it up.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw Elon Musk say yesterday that no need to save money because the.

[Amy]

Yeah, what money? It doesn't matter. Well, it won't matter. Robots or something.

[Eddie]

That what he said.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm paraphrasing.

[Bobby Bones]

So there's going to be like an income, he says, that everybody gets and.

[Eddie]

Oh, from the government.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like a general income that. And he's like, why save money? Everybody's going to get money anyway. But it's easy to say when you have $600 billion. Number one, we'll put it up on the screen. Texas with $170,000 in balloons last year.

[Amy]

Oh, 170,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two, Texas Tech.

[Amy]

Well, that's quite the drop from one to two.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at Texas going. They go hard. Well, to be fair, that's Texas all sports. Football is the biggest, though, but that's Texas all sports. And Texas A and M at 55,000. North Carolina and North Carolina State. So the states of Texas and North Carolina are very balloon friendly. Arkansas comes in at 6. So we're the first non North Carolina, Texas State. Arkansas spent, I guess, 31,000 in balloon money. And just football and guys. Virginia Tech, Nebraska, Colorado and California.

[Eddie]

You've been to a few games in Arkansas.

[Bobby Bones]

Never seen a balloon.

[Eddie]

Balloons.

[Bobby Bones]

Never a balloon, huh? I don't get invited to the balloon parties, I guess. Yeah, that's a really random thing to see.

[Amy]

So what does this. When it doesn't say all sports, the other sports don't get balloons or what?

[Bobby Bones]

Texas probably classified all of those in their filing. It's just all sports. They probably did not.

[Amy]

Yeah, because West Virginia or something, I think was all sports.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you saw another one down there?

[Amy]

Mm. If you scroll down, 8 or 9. Oh, no.

[Eddie]

Nebraska.

[Amy]

Nebraska. Nebraska.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. All sports.

[Eddie]

Still 23,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Where you find that Elon Musk quote?

[Amy]

Yeah. Cause in my head it was like, money doesn't. Money's not gonna matter because robots are gonna do everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Elon Musk don't save money quote. Here we go. There will be universal high income. Yeah, that's what it is. There will be no poverty in the future and no need to save money. There will be universal high income. The statement was made in context of discussions of artificial intelligence and automation, where he argues that technological advancements will eventually make work optimal and money as a concept will become obsolete. In this envisioned future, the production of goods and Services by AI and robotics will be so efficient that everyone's needs are met without the current system of labor allocation and financial savings.

[Eddie]

Okay, so money won't be super important. Is that what he's saying?

[Bobby Bones]

That's exactly what he's saying. But the money, how we see it now, there will always be a currency that is traded, even if it's not money. It then becomes. How many wives do you have? How many husbands, how many kids do you. So there's always something that puts people in tears. We'll always be classed.

[Eddie]

Oh, I thought you literally meant tears. A lot of wives, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of crime.

[Amy]

Tears.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. T I E R S. Got you. Elon Musk has no need to save money.

[Amy]

See?

[Eddie]

Cool. Let her rip.

[Bobby Bones]

You know who said that? The richest person in the world.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's very easy to say, all right.

[Amy]

Money will disappear in the future.

[Bobby Bones]

My money disappearing now.

[Eddie]

Christmas time.

[Bobby Bones]

This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, or osa, in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation. Learn more at don'tsleep on OSA.com this information is provided by Lilly, a medicine company.
