Amy
I kind of do.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna hold off on you.
Lunchbox
No, I promise.
Bobby Bones
And for me, because the last couple days we've just led with okay, go.
Amy
Okay, now it has a sad element.
Eddie
Of course it does.
Amy
Well, James Vanderbie died. We know that, however. And I guess. How do I say it?
Bobby Bones
Well, we haven't talked about the James Vanderbeek stuff at all. I mean, I was gonna talk about that.
Amy
I figured you might. That's why I have a story that is adjacent to that.
Bobby Bones
Okay, then I'll go first.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
James Vanderby passed away yesterday. He lost his battle with colorectal cancer. He was 48 years old. He was survived by his wife and their six kids, which, by the way, I think Brad from 3 Doors down was also 47 or 48, really. His was a kidney. Very young.
Eddie
Dang.
Bobby Bones
It's crazy. His wife, Kimberly, issued a statement saying he met his final days with courage, faith, and grace. There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sadness and sacredness of time. He was obviously in Dawson's Creek, which ran for six seasons from 98 to 2003 on the WB. He also was in Varsity Blues. Great movie. Rules of Attraction. Don't trust to be in apartment 23. Such an underrated show. I loved that show. Is be like, yeah, yeah, Mike, you ever watched that? I feel like there'd be a show you'd like.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was good.
Bobby Bones
It was great. About that show.
Amy
I forgot about it, too.
Bobby Bones
She ended up being like a mar. A superhero on Netflix. She was.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Kristen Ritter. Yeah.
Lunchbox
What.
Bobby Bones
What did you. Jessica Jones. That's what it was. Yeah. Really good. It's coming back. It is, yeah. He did Dancing with the Stars in 2019. He did the Masked Singer last year. I met him a couple times. A little more than met. We weren't friends, so I'm not gonna fake flex that we were friends, but we definitely spent 20 minutes in total through two conversations. Once at Dancing with the Stars, because he had danced with Emma, who was like my favorite person from that show, and met him there. And then in Austin at maybe last year, maybe the year before, we had already met. So we were talking backstage again, just kind of catching up. And he lived in Austin. They had moved to Austin. And so he was a super nice guy. Tragic that he was so young. Is yours about to go fund me?
Amy
It is.
Bobby Bones
Okay, you can have it. Yeah.
Amy
So in 24 hours of it being put up a GoFundMe to help with medical bills and supporting his wife and six children, it, as of this morning, was over $1.2 million. So just an outpour of love from fans, fellow celebrities, their friends and family. But a lot of those people, also well known. And then just even watching the outpour of love from people that worked with him that are also in the industry and other celebrities. They just had nothing but kind words to say about him. So you can just tell the type of person that he was. Even in the, you know, the circle, the celebrity circle.
Bobby Bones
His long term medical care broke them financially.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So when they set up to go fund me, they set it up because all their medical care, they were out of funds. He started selling his memorabilia, you may guys may have seen to cover the cost. Yeah. And last night it was a 1.1. So it's like, it's 1.2. I saw somebody, I don't remember who had committed 2,500 bucks a month. It was a celebrity.
Lunchbox
Zoe.
Bobby Bones
Zoe Sadhana.
Amy
Yeah, and some others. 5,000amonth.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Eddie
Oh, that's cool. Because like with these celebrities, you don't feel like you think like, oh, they're rich. Like, yeah, you know, they got this covered. But I remember I was watching that Christopher Reeves documentary where it cost him like thousands of dollars a day to live. And they were like, we have no money like whatsoever. But you think like, oh, they're famous, they got money. They're good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Fame only sometimes translates to money and only if the famous through multiple avenues of continuing money. And it seems with James Vanderbeek, he had Dawson's Creek, but that was only five years and then some other one offs. But yeah, I don't think he made a ton of money. I'm sure he made a lot of money, but I'm saying not to sustain a what you'd call rich lifestyle. And that could also maintain a family of six and having cancer for so long. So, yeah, recipes. James Vanderbeek, he was always super kind when I was around him, I guess always. I met him twice, but he was always super nice when I met him. That is your story.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Nancy Guthrie update. You guys want one of those or is anybody doing that, please? Nancy Guthrie. Suspected kidnappers believed to have. We saw the video, but now officially they're saying worn gloves, carried a backpack with reflective straps and brandished a semi automatic handgun. Investigators are contacting manufacturers and retailers of the handgun from what they can see of it to see who has bought a handgun like that in the past couple of years. Authorities sent the ransom note rider. They sent the ransom note and they said the rider is from Tucson because they were sent to local area TV stations. Sorry, my mouth is still killing me from when I got my tooth put in. I feel like I'm stumbling over a speed bump. But it's my. My mouth, my gums in front of my teeth. The FBI recovered a black glove about 1.5 miles from Nancy's home. They don't say if that glove is the glove that he was wearing, but they recovered a black glove. Odds that it's that glove, I don't know.
Eddie
I mean, there's lots of gloves, but.
Bobby Bones
Anything at this point. New note sent to TMZ demanded one bitcoin in exchange for the name of the individual involved. And there was active in that account, activity in that account, that bitcoin account.
Eddie
And one bitcoin is how much it's down now.
Bobby Bones
It's like 66,000 bucks.
Lunchbox
Pretty good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's gone down in the past few weeks, tremendously, which is why I've said now's the time to buy in if you're gonna buy in. But, yeah, maybe ask for two because it's gone down so much.
Eddie
It might keep going down. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, at 66,000, like, just three weeks ago, you had to pay $100,000 for a Bitcoin. So that's the update in that story. Anybody else see anything I didn't talk about?
Lunchbox
No, but I got a question. Why did it take so long for them to get pictures of this? Ring doorbell, camera.
Bobby Bones
We talked about that yesterday.
Lunchbox
Well, no, no, but why did it take so long?
Bobby Bones
Right. We said we couldn't believe it took so long because it just feels like complete incompetence that they now can go into it and go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, we recovered this.
Amy
But there's also the chance that they did have it a little longer and they didn't share with us. And they. I saw they have asked neighbors for their footage for certain dates in January for In a certain radius. They want to see.
Bobby Bones
What I'm holding on to in my heart is that everything they're releasing now is so delayed because they've had it, they've evaluated it, and now they're putting it out. Because, like we said yesterday, if they're just now finding this footage.
Eddie
No, they're way behind.
Bobby Bones
It's complete incompetence. Yeah.
Lunchbox
I mean, but they have put up a white tent outside of her house. The forensic team, which usually signifies. Is what they're saying in the news signifies what? Dead body.
Eddie
A white tint.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So you can't see. That's usually what they put up at crime scenes when there's a dead body.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
Never seen that. Have you seen the guy, the pizza delivery guy that. I guess one of the news crew.
Bobby Bones
They Took in the one that they questioned.
Eddie
Not that one.
Amy
No, no, no. He.
Eddie
He.
Amy
He delivered pizza.
Eddie
So one of the news guys, Domino's, one of the news crews, like, got pizza for delivery, and they put her address on there because that's where they are. They're camped out there. And he just walked past all the tape and everything and, like, tried to ring the doorbell. They're like, get out of here.
Guest
Yeah, they made a whole statement, the sheriff's department did, and was like, don't order food delivery to the crime scene.
Amy
It did seem a little ridiculous.
Eddie
The guy comes out, he's laughing. He's like, my bad, my bad. Like, who ordered this pizza? And the news guy's like, over here, man.
Bobby Bones
I didn't see that. You think you'd put in the note, don't walk to house? Yeah, I'm the guy in the black shirt. You'll meet me on the street, that kind of thing?
Lunchbox
Yeah. But they said the backpack he was wearing has been. Is a Walmart brand. And supposedly the holster and backpack have been traced to a Tucson Walmart. Just so you know.
Bobby Bones
How do they track up a holster?
Eddie
Oh, a holster.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Guest
Did you see the ex FBI special. Special agent who said that this guy isn't a trained assassin?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Guest
Based on, like, his years of it, how he was holding the gun, where he decided to go into the house.
Eddie
Trying to get the brush to cover the camera.
Lunchbox
Looked a lot.
Bobby Bones
Looked like a lot of bumbling and stumbling. Even, like, his fist covering the camera.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
He, like, went up and was, like, covering with his pinky. And I was like. Then he got the brush. But if you were really smart, wouldn't you look really dumb?
Amy
That's.
Eddie
And then you have, like a fake limp. You know, all that.
Amy
He's like, I'm a trained assassin, so I'm gonna look like I'm a moron.
Eddie
Right. So who is the guy? The other delivery driver guy? Cause I've seen clips of him, too, saying like, man. Like, well, he was the one that.
Amy
Was taking him for questioning.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Someone turned him in. They were like, this looks like my friend.
Amy
Cause his eyes.
Bobby Bones
Or not my friend. The person I know because his eyes.
Eddie
Cause of his eyes.
Bobby Bones
And then he was like, I do it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
I mean, friend.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I should have said, somebody they knew. I'm not sure. The relationship.
Amy
Yeah, relationship's probably a little strained now.
Eddie
I will say, though, I did look at his video and then go back to the surveillance and be like, let me see the eyes. They don't look the same. And Based on my opinion, they don't look like the same eyes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You would think, because our eyes do so much unlocking of things.
Eddie
There we go. I thought about this.
Bobby Bones
Okay, go ahead.
Eddie
No, just the fact that, like, you know, even open our phones. Like, they should have some bank of our eyes.
Amy
Yeah. Or like, has he done any tiktoks?
Bobby Bones
Whenever we went to the Super Bowl, I'm not kidding. It was the most bizarre facial recognition thing that I've ever seen. Because when we had to go get our credentials, a lot of times you'll walk up, you'll be in front of it like you're taking a driver's license picture. It'll go clink, clink. Yep, you pass. Amy, I'm not kidding. The first fraction of a second that your face even got in that screen, it was like, you're not him. You are him. Fastest I've ever seen. And I wasn't even all the way in front of it. So the technology is able to be at an airport and tell who a thousand people are all at the same time instantaneously. So easy.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Didn't you find it to be weird?
Eddie
Did find it to be weird.
Bobby Bones
Like, super fast.
Eddie
Did you ever try to close your.
Bobby Bones
Eyes and Trick knew I wasn't me as soon as I walked up to it, Meaning it wasn't where I went. I didn't. I didn't have. That wasn't my credential. I went somewhere else.
Eddie
He wasn't clear to go in there.
Bobby Bones
It was like a food place. I just gone to the wrong place. Then when I went to the media place, immediately, that's you.
Amy
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
But it was so fat, I didn't have to get in front of it all the way. I was just like in the back of the screen and it's like, you're clear. You're not clear. Okay, mine, yours, lunchbox. You go.
Lunchbox
Yeah. We've been talking about Stefan Diggs and Cardi B.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Lunchbox
The beat and offset $1 million. Supposedly, Cardi B left the super bowl after finding out that Stefan Diggs had brought his ex girlfriend there. Well, Cardi B went live again, and she wanted to explain why she is single and what she thinks about stuff.
Bobby Bones
On Diggs and what you say, oh.
Amy
We have a clip.
Bobby Bones
Oh, we have a clip. Okay.
Cardi B
Yes. We broke up after the halftime show. I went straight home. I didn't even stay to watch his game because I was at the super bowl for my job, not for him. He had nothing to do with it. From day one, I Told Stephan very clearly, if he ever cheated or had another kid while we were together, I was out. That was my line, and he still chose to cross it. Honestly, I even think Stephan is worse than Offset. At least Offset will give me gifts worth millions, cars, designer bags, checks. But the first birthday I spent with Stephan, he gave me nothing. I regret having a child with him.
Bobby Bones
At the very beginning. She says, I said he couldn't cheat or have another kid with someone else while she's with.
Amy
While they're together.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'd say those are kind of intertwined. Secondly, if you have to have that conversation of I'm not going to stay with you if you have another kid with someone else or together, I don't think you should be together or accept.
Eddie
That it's a chance that.
Bobby Bones
And if there's a good chance he's going to get someone else pregnant while you're together, I think that chance tells you you shouldn't be with them.
Amy
Yeah, but some people think that they're the thing that's going to change the person.
Bobby Bones
He has such a history of nobody changing him.
Lunchbox
Amy, have you ever seen the clip of when he was on the Vikings?
Amy
No, I don't really know. I haven't.
Lunchbox
I think it was the Vikings, but they interviewed people in the locker room. Who's the one player you would not want to date? Your sister. And every player said, him. Every player.
Eddie
That's a weird question.
Bobby Bones
They do that.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's just like they go to the locker room. It's a common bit within locker rooms, like, who do you want? Who'd be the person that you would take care of your money? And they all pick somebody. Who do you want to not date your sister? So, yeah, it wasn't just the Vikings or at Stefan Diggs.
Eddie
Got it. Got it.
Bobby Bones
That's what they do in locker rooms.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Hey, at least Offset, though, man. You know, giving those million dollar gifts and purses, handbags.
Amy
He did nothing for her birthday. Nothing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that sucks. Yeah, sounds like a sucky dude.
Amy
Sounds like a loser.
Eddie
Eddie. All right, this is weird, but there's a mom who. She got arrested. She's accused of putting feces in. In her child's IV when she was at the hospital.
Bobby Bones
Oh, she wanted the kid to stay sick.
Eddie
Okay. See, I read this and I'm like, I have no idea why a mom would do this.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's kind of like the Munchausen syndrome, where if they stay sick, you are, you know, the subject of everybody's well wishes. So you like the attention, I'm assuming.
Eddie
Yeah. Well, they have no reason why she did this, yet she's gotten arrested. They have surveillance footage of her going to the restroom and coming out with a cup and then messing with her IV and putting the waste inside the child's iv, which. I read this, and I'm like, I don't understand any of this.
Lunchbox
Or sympathy, man.
Bobby Bones
Or they love the attention. That's mostly what that munch housing syndrome is. Whoa. It's like they're getting attention either for themselves or for their kid. And both have been major news stories with people, and so they continue it.
Eddie
But if you put, like, poop in someone's veins in, like, their bloodstream, like, what.
Bobby Bones
That just could kill them.
Podcast Announcer
Toxic.
Eddie
I feel like that's way worse than keeping them sick. Right.
Bobby Bones
But that does keep them sick.
Lunchbox
That's what is killing.
Amy
Or it's. Yeah, it causes something. And then the. The doctors are trying to figure out how are they.
Eddie
Had you heard of this before?
Bobby Bones
Like, that story? No.
Amy
So hold on. There was video.
Eddie
Yeah. They had surveillance of the hospital room. I guess they're.
Amy
Well, that's what I'm now wondering. I'm like, are they videoing in your hospital room?
Eddie
In the room? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They may have also been allowed to video because they went to a judge and said, we think this is happening.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And we now require.
Amy
Well, yeah, because I'm like, oh, I.
Bobby Bones
Don'T think they can just generally have video again, I'm doing a lot of assuming. Even with Eddie's story. I heard it went Munchausen syndrome.
Amy
Yeah, I did, too.
Eddie
Yeah. Because it didn't say that, but that's why I brought it up, because, like, I just have no idea. And there's no explanation why she did this. But. So, I mean, that makes sense to me, I guess. But.
Bobby Bones
And then I would think if something keeps happening to the kid and that's unexplainable and someone goes, I think the mom may be doing this.
Amy
We need to film it.
Bobby Bones
They would get basically a warrant.
Eddie
Okay, but what's wrong.
Bobby Bones
It's not really a warrant, but a.
Eddie
What's wrong with the camera in the hospital room?
Amy
Lots of things.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You can't have a camera. It's like watching on the camera.
Eddie
Oh. I just thought, like, a hospital room is like, you know, you're everyone's clothes, and they're just.
Bobby Bones
You're not always closed, really.
Amy
You know, and you have family in there. You could be having very personal, private conversations, like.
Eddie
Oh, but you know what, though? I Remember when my dad was in the hospital, there was a camera there just to. For the nurses to watch him if they weren't in there.
Amy
Oh, like a baby camera?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Something like facing the bed.
Amy
I remember that.
Bobby Bones
I mean, that definitely could be it. If a person is having.
Amy
They get up and fall. Yes.
Bobby Bones
If they're sick for a reason, they would need to be monitored. Sure.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But you can't just put a camera in somebody's hospital room and you don't know it. Unless there's a specific reason, which it could be the condition that they're in.
Eddie
Sure.
Bobby Bones
But if I go in for get my tonsils taken out, you don't want a camera? They're not putting a camera in there to watch me.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
Yeah. Well, anyway, I thought that was weird.
Bobby Bones
It's crazy how a parent could do that to their kid.
Eddie
So crazy. And that maybe. Do you think maybe like a gofundme? Like, if there's a gofundme for the baby, they just keep him sick or for the kid?
Bobby Bones
I don't know if there was a gofundme. I just hear Munchausen, because we've heard of people doing that before, Morgan.
Guest
Well, do you want a good story or are we continuing?
Bobby Bones
Let's go with the. Yeah, we're hitting.
Lunchbox
Why are good.
Bobby Bones
I have.
Guest
I have one of each.
Bobby Bones
Give me the good.
Guest
Okay, so, Winter Olympics. I talked to you guys about Breezy Johnson. She was one of the downhill skiers. She won gold, and then she ended up competing again, but she crashed out and didn't get it. But right after the crash out, she got proposed to. She's now engaged.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if he was going to propose regardless or he keeps the ring. It didn't work out. I got to lift her up. She had a crash on it. Now's the time to propose. Lift her up.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then do you second guess if you were going to do it at the end? If she won or she finished, do you go, she just crashed out? Do I still propose?
Amy
I would question that. Yes. Because it's like, oh, I need to let her feel these feelings right now. And, yeah, it seems like maybe it's not the right time.
Bobby Bones
Unless it's the exact right time. Because they're crash out.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
The Olympics is such, like, emotional thing for them. Right?
Amy
I know. And they've been working so hard for this.
Eddie
And then he's like, hey, will you marry me? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
There are football players that do that, though. They'll propose at the end of their own game. At the End of bowl games. That's happened before. I don't know. I'm not going to judge somebody for their decision because they know the person. But I wonder if he was dead set on doing it regardless if he was thinking, I don't know, I'll keep it with me just in case. Then she crashed. He's like, no, I need to do it now to lift her up.
Lunchbox
No, he said that he was doing it no matter what and that he had a plan B if she got seriously hurt.
Bobby Bones
If she crashed on her run, it's plan B. Not to do it because she's in the hospital. Yeah.
Eddie
What's the plan B?
Lunchbox
I don't know. It just said he. I guess they were on one of the morning shows, Today show, whatever. And he said when she crashed, I was freaking out, like, oh, my gosh, is she okay? And then she got up, and then I started freaking out, like, going, oh, my gosh, I'm about to propose again. But don't worry, I did have a plan B. If she was seriously hurt.
Amy
Yeah. Just.
Lunchbox
And I couldn't do plan A.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
What was your bad one?
Guest
My bad one was about. Okay, well, it's about, obviously, the hearing that happened yesterday, and Pam Bondi made.
Bobby Bones
Me want to freaking jump the window and.
Amy
What horrible.
Guest
Pam Bondi?
Lunchbox
Who's that?
Amy
Attorney General. You.
Guest
Are you watching the news?
Lunchbox
I don't have television or Internet guys. I don't have anything. I have no idea what.
Bobby Bones
I just saw it on my phone. I watched it on my phone.
Amy
He's on that Cardi B beat, though.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he is.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
How do you have Cardi B Knew. It doesn't matter. Go ahead.
Guest
But really, it's about what people are describing as the burn book. So there was certain representatives who went in and, like, viewed a lot of the Epstein files, and they're the ones who were talking at the hearing unredacted. Yes. Supposed to be. And so there's this burn book, though, that apparently Pam Bondi had, and it shows everything that they were looking up in that room. So she knows every single file that they pulled, which means she's surveilling what they're surveilling, if you will. Like, it's basically like they're watching each other do everything.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. All the victims are there.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Behind her. It's pretty powerful. But she wouldn't turn around to look at them. She just screamed at the stock market. It's bad luck.
Guest
I thought that was AI at first. That's how bad I thought it Was when I was watching the clips, I was like, this has to be AI that can't be real.
Amy
I know it was real because I.
Bobby Bones
Know I did see Donald Trump crossover. LeBron James, though, in an AI video. Made me laugh out loud.
Eddie
That too.
Bobby Bones
That looked really.
Eddie
He's got moves.
Bobby Bones
They were like, new Chinese company creates AI that looks so real. Even I, who I have pretty good eye for AI. I use it so much, I was like, that's as real as can be.
Eddie
He crossed over LeBron.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
Broke his ankle.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. There's a guy. His name is Jason Snape. And so he found a postcard in his mail from a former college professor. And it read, if you're reading this, I'm dead. And I liked you. Don Glickman, a design professor who died in November at age 94, had asked his daughter to send over a hundred of these postcards to his favorite students after he had died. So all these students that he really liked in his class, he liked teaching. As soon as he died, he had his daughter send out all the cards.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
And the ones he didn't like.
Amy
It's like, I liked you. Like, you were a good student. Okay. At first, my brain. When he first said it, I thought he was sending out cards. Like, I liked you.
Bobby Bones
No, it was, like, to 100 kids that he enjoyed teaching.
Amy
That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
Of all ages.
Amy
I love that.
Bobby Bones
Glickman came up with the idea while in home hospice and designed the card himself. A photo of it went viral on social media, getting more than 1.5 million views from spokesman. Reminds me a little bit. There was a coach in North Carolina who, when he died, sent money for a meal for all his players that he's ever coached.
Eddie
Oh, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's a good one there, man.
Eddie
I got on Facebook, and one of my professors, like, for the last, like, month, he's been posting, like, every year, you know, like. Like, he's been teaching for, I don't know, like, 30 years. And every year, he's like, all right, this is a group of pictures that I found in my closet over this year. And I'm like, dude, not one of me. And, like, I used to be with him all the time. Like, all the time. I worked the news, we. I ran camera, I ran radio station, everything. And, like, I'm not in one picture. I got my feelings hurt.
Bobby Bones
You went through all of them.
Eddie
But what's cool? Like, oh, man, there's so and so. Like, oh, wow, there's so and so. I haven't Seen them forever. That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
My wife's been calling me Boomer because I've kind of gotten back into Facebook because somehow it's on my phone now. I don't know how I told you guys. It just logged in.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
On my phone. And so now I look at it a little bit. It. Facebook is really stupid because they put up the. The most garbage. AI all the time. It's all these pages. I saw one where Luke Bryan got in a fight with Joy Behar on the View. It's always people. Country artists fighting people on the View. They're like, luke Bryan tells her, you do not insult country music. It's all fake. And then people are in the comments like, attaboy, Luke. Like, believing it. It's such garbage. Like, and there's always fake movies that are being made on Netflix. It's like, Netflix just signed the Blake Shelton story, and Austin Butler's playing Blake Shelton. They got Austin Butler up. People like, I can't wait for this. It's the epitome of slope. Other than that, it's just kind of fun because Facebook feeds you the really good ads, I gotta say.
Eddie
Like, the ones perfect for you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they really know. And my wife saw me on Facebook. She's like, why are you on Facebook, Boomer? And I happened to be on the Bobby Buncho page. I wasn't going through the comments, but I happened to be on the page because I was seeing how some of our stations were putting up pictures of the Bobby. I was just looking at that. And so you.
Eddie
Boomer.
Bobby Bones
Because you're on Facebook, baby.
Eddie
Boomer.
Bobby Bones
Just on Facebook. And that's who's on Facebook, it seems like. So I've kind of got back into Facebook, though.
Eddie
They've been giving me good ads, too. I. There's like, an umbrella. I've been talking about getting an umbrella for my back so I can cover my grills. And, like, I've gotten 50 ads of really cool umbrellas. I'm like, dang, they're so good.
Bobby Bones
I have one from Elwood Clothing, which I do buy old T shirts that just popped up. I'm looking at that now. I have a Thomas Rhett, Akins and the Grand Ole Opry post. Look, I have a bunch of baseball cards. Like, it's good ads.
Eddie
What's the Thomas Rhett? What's going on there? Is he just playing Thomas Rhett?
Bobby Bones
And his dad, Red Aikens, performed at the Grand Ole Opry tonight as part of the Conservation Aid benefit concert. And it's a clip of them playing and talking.
Eddie
Fake.
Bobby Bones
No, that's real.
Amy
That's real.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, and here's one. It's like a Wrigley Field Cub sign that has digital you can do yourself.
Eddie
Oh that's cool.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, the ads are like to.
Amy
Buy like you could buy that sign.
Bobby Bones
And and put in it what you want to put in it. The ads are top notch. Luke combs released his 22 song track list. Between work, family and everything else, cancer screenings can get put off.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn more@electricforall.org hello, Malcolm Glauble here.
Lunchbox
We're here in New York City with T Mobile for Business recording another episode.
Bobby Bones
Of Revisionist History about how far 5G.
Lunchbox

Amy
Mm. I mean. Yeah. I'm like, how though? From flatulence.
Eddie
The smell? Different smell?
Bobby Bones
No, it's not a smell. It's not in the air. No, it's what's in the air and the particles that are in that it's able to measure.
Eddie
Do you know that it's kind of gross, but I promise it's not too gross. But did you know that, like, if you do that many times in your underwear, you can burn a hole through it?
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
Because the gas.
Lunchbox
Really? Yeah. That's cool.
Eddie
Did you know that?
Amy
I did.
Bobby Bones
On Facebook. No, no, he sure wasn't.
Eddie
I saw it in my house, man. It was crazy. I've had this underwear for a long time.
Bobby Bones
But if that's the case, you probably just. That's probably just a stress point of your underwear.
Eddie
No, no, dude, it's perfectly right there.
Bobby Bones
Where like. Yeah, but when you tear down, that's the stress point of your underwear.
Lunchbox
So this is your underwear. You got a hole. Oh, my gosh.
Eddie
I think I burned a hole through that thing.
Bobby Bones
No, that's the stress point of your underwear.
Eddie
You sure?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's where your butt kind of stretches the most, is that middle spot right there.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Eddie
I thought it was a fart.
Bobby Bones
A six year old girl breaks the national record of Girl Scout cookies by selling over 75,000 boxes.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
A Pittsburgh 6 year old sold more than 75,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies. Single year record. She couldn't find a troop. And then she joined the Girl Scouts with the help of her dad. And her cookies sales grew exponentially after a video of her went viral on social media. Yeah, I felt like it was something like that. What do you get if you sell that many Girl Scout cookies? Because you get little, little treats, every level.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
Like an umbrella at this tree.
Eddie
Got to. Right.
Amy
Or a patch.
Bobby Bones
Man, that's cool.
Amy
I don't know. I was. I only made it up to a brownie.
Lunchbox
And I know they have camp a discount if you sell a certain amount.
Eddie
What does the money go to the Girl Scouts? Just like.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think they do a lot of activities and they give back a lot too. So I think it just goes into the Girl Scout fund. Who knows what's happening with that money?
Amy
Scholarships, I think. Oh, speaking of, like, not of that.
Bobby Bones
Pablo Torres.
Eddie
Yeah, man.
Amy
In that, like, it's sort of feeling like we don't really know anything and everyone's lying to us. So I saw someone talking about how just for your mental health, like anything you see on the news or Anything, anywhere. Just mentally tell yourself the word maybe after. So, like, see it, whatever it is, and then just internally make maybe your mantra. Because, like, maybe that way you don't get so, like, hooked on one way or the other that it's, like, actually fact. Because we're being fed so many lies.
Bobby Bones
I see it and I go, partial. The partial truth. They're not giving it to us all because we have no idea. And it's way worse than this.
Amy
That could be another way that was.
Bobby Bones
Not meant for your mental health. That's the opposite.
Amy
Partial.
Bobby Bones
I just feel like nobody tells us anything. Amy is convinced Eddie's not paying for the Valentine's dinner tonight.
Lunchbox
Oh, there's no chance.
Eddie
Why?
Lunchbox
Zero percent.
Cardi B
Oh.
Eddie
Well, for my wife, though, right?
Amy
Well, because.
Bobby Bones
Well, you're not gonna just pay for your wife and have me pay for.
Amy
You because you didn't know.
Eddie
No, what I'm saying is I would pay for my wife and like that. Like, half of the dinner.
Amy
Yeah, I just.
Eddie
Not the whole dinner. I wouldn't pay for Bobby and his wife.
Bobby Bones
Why, though? I pay for yours all the time.
Eddie
Well, no, because it's. If it's Valentine's, I think your wife.
Bobby Bones
My wife would be okay with it. No, no, she'd be fine with it. If you paid for all. If tonight you said.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Amy
Guys, there's no way.
Lunchbox
There's not a chance in the wrong way possibly, though.
Eddie
They don't take. They don't take.
Amy
You might do, like, the wallet grab.
Eddie
I do the. The wall grab all the time.
Lunchbox
Oh, I forgot in the car.
Eddie
Hey, dude, let me get this one. Okay, you got it.
Bobby Bones
All right, here's the deal. If you go to the wallet grab tonight, I will let you get it.
Eddie
For real?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. The whole thing for all four of us, huh? If you want to go to.
Amy
And he's gonna be like, I'll have water.
Eddie
I would tell my wife, don't order anything. I'm paying tonight.
Bobby Bones
If you want to go to the person who's seating us or the server, even behind the scenes, and hand them your card, do a little trick. How about it?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then it comes, and it's already paid. I'd have no problem with that. My pride will not be hurt.
Eddie
What if we do a little credit card roulette?
Amy
That'd be fun.
Bobby Bones
That's not. I would do that, but that's not the point of it. The point is for you just to take it, to not have a chance.
Eddie
Yeah, but if I said if I did it, I'm gonna Do it loudly and be like, caitlin. Don't worry, I got this. Don't worry. This is on me, guys. Happy Valentine's Day.
Lunchbox
But now's not the right time. Now's not the right. So, like, a kidney. He's not gonna do it.
Eddie
What do you mean?
Lunchbox
He'll talk about it, but he's not gonna do it.
Eddie
No, like. Like, Bobby doesn't drink, so, like, his meals aren't too expensive. I'll tell my wife not to drink. Caitlin's not drinking. I'll. I'll get water. Be great, and I pay for dinner.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like you're taking your four kids out.
Eddie
No, just waters.
Bobby Bones
Guys, I would not have a problem if you decided you wanted to pay for all four. All right, I'll say that now, but.
Eddie
Why is Amy saying that?
Bobby Bones
Like, what.
Eddie
What made you think think that?
Amy
Oh, we've been talking about it, and I just came to the conclusion, like, I just don't think, like, it's gonna happen. So if, like, we could bet on it. My money is on Bobby paying.
Eddie
Okay, well, that's dumb, because then I'll just pay just so you don't win. Like, how do I. Like, do I bet, too? I bet. I bet. I'll pay for it. Okay, I'll bet you $10.500I pay for it. Who's taking that?
Lunchbox
Oh, my God. Bobby will run up that bill. Well, not only that, everything on the.
Bobby Bones
Media, I call and pay for it ahead of time just so Eddie would never have the chance. If you guys know that.
Amy
Oh, man, that is next level.
Bobby Bones
Let's see.
Lunchbox
So you're going to pay Eddie?
Eddie
We'll see.
Bobby Bones
TBD Lunchbox wants to know why our company is so dumb.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
Why do you do this?
Lunchbox
No, no. Our company has just. They're just stupid. I don't know what's going on, but all of a sudden, they are putting up stanchions all around our building. Like, oh, can't walk that way. Oh, you got to go around the other way. All because there's people having a meeting in our conference room. It's like, we can't walk by. Like, it's like, it's on. It's crazy. If we have to go to the bathroom and they see another human in the hallway. Can't go that way.
Bobby Bones
A different reason. It's not that I thought it was for them. So they didn't walk by our studio.
Eddie
Oh, no, it's for us.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's for us.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Eddie
See, what I thought is, like, you don't want to Walk by. Like, Lunchbox doesn't want to walk by that conference room. It's clear. It's glass. You can see through it. And on the board is written, like, get rid of lunchbox. Like, they don't want to see that. They don't want Lunchbox to see that. Like, what if it's like, stuff like that? Like, Eddie and Lunchbox don't. They wouldn't.
Lunchbox
They wouldn't do it out in the open like that.
Bobby Bones
Well, maybe they would if you're not.
Lunchbox
Because, like, I went to the bathroom the other morning and I said hi to the girl at the front desk, and it, like, a light bulb went off in her head. Like, oh, I forgot to put the stanchions up. So when I came back from the bathroom, she had the hallway blocked off.
Bobby Bones
Are you the reason they're putting up these velvet ropes? Is it you? Because you go in and eat the food and you.
Lunchbox
There wasn't even food out there.
Amy
Yes, there was. There have. There's been food some days, but that. Yeah, Yeah. I just think that they're having meetings, and it's a distraction. Have a bunch. We can walk other ways. So I think they're trying to direct us to go the back way so we don't disrupt the meetings. Because, honestly, it is kind of crazy how we're. This is. There's radio shows going on in multiple rooms, and. And some people outside this door are so loud. Like.
Bobby Bones
But they're so loud. I'm in here recording, and these idiots are just screaming out in the hallway. But you, too.
Amy
Yeah, but it's like, it's not you. Multiple people can be so loud. And I'm like, it's just interesting that that's just never taken into consideration. So I think that along with the disruption of having people walk past the glass, it's like, let's just keep this area quiet and more private for this meeting.
Bobby Bones
I thought it was to keep people from walking by our studios.
Amy
No, Now I don't think it's for us.
Eddie
No, man, it's for them.
Amy
I think it's for them, and I think it makes sense.
Eddie
I was told, though, it wasn't us that they were trying to keep out. Of course I heard that it was other people in the building.
Amy
Like, what other people?
Eddie
No, that just said, like, it's not for you guys.
Bobby Bones
Of course they're going to say.
Amy
That's what they're telling everybody.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's like, come on, we really need stanchions.
Amy
If we had to guess, it's definitely for Us?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. He goes and eats the food of people that don't even work in this building. Like, they'll lease out, rent out the office space and they'll have food, and he'll just go and eat their food. People don't even work here.
Lunchbox
Well, it's a lot of leftovers. A lot of food not getting eaten. I don't like.
Bobby Bones
You don't know it's not gonna get eaten because you know what they're gonna do with it. I don't like waste, but it's not wasted yet.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm just saying. Pretty stupid to put up stanchions so we can't go to the bathroom. It's like, oh, no, can't go that way.
Bobby Bones
Never not been to the bathroom.
Amy
Yeah, go. Instead of going left, go right.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Then you go to the first hallway to the right. Up stanchions. Gotta go to the next hallway.
Eddie
Bobby, you don't go to the bathroom.
Bobby Bones
I know, but if I do, like this morning I. I peed.
Eddie
The stanchions weren't up.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I. Dude, I haven't. I just thought there were two people from us, and I'm like. Well, I go through this. I haven't thought much about it. Amy wants to get an investment agreement with lunchbox.
Amy
Oh, I have it written up or typed up.
Eddie
You want out?
Amy
No, not yet.
Bobby Bones
Uh.
Eddie
Oh, she's serious.
Amy
Not yet.
Lunchbox
There we go.
Eddie
Is that a contract?
Amy
Yes. So this is.
Lunchbox
Are you really about to read that whole paper?
Amy
No, I don't read it at all. Can read it and choose if you want to sign it. I'm not going to read it, but it's an agreement between us because we should have done this from the beginning when we started handing you money, which I'm fine with. I think it's fun that we have this.
Lunchbox
Well, you're turning it. Not fun.
Amy
I just want a monthly update of what's happening with our money. And then if I choose to pull my money out, I have how many business days you have to get it to me, so that's not like Bobby's situation where last week I tried to.
Lunchbox
Get it to Bobby.
Bobby Bones
I already spent my money.
Amy
What'd you spend it on?
Bobby Bones
Something special.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
I paid off a bet. I lost a bit, and that wasn't even all of it. I lost like $2,000.
Amy
Oh, my.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay, well, so you can read over this and sign it.
Eddie
Lunchbox sounds pretty habit because you.
Amy
I have no control. I gave you this money. You have invested, and you could do whatever you want, and I don't know. And this just helps protect both of us.
Bobby Bones
But why would he sign?
Lunchbox
There's no need to. Yeah, there's no need for me to sign that.
Bobby Bones
Like, why would he sign. I'm just asking you why you would just voluntarily sign something that is no advantage or.
Amy
But there's no. Also no dis.
Guest
It just.
Amy
It's.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's been working the way it is. We don't need to complicate things.
Amy
Accountability is good for everybody. That way he knows, like, he can pay me my. My investment if I choose to withdraw it, or if. If something happens and he decides to take it out and there's a payout. Like, I need to make sure that I'm taken care of.
Bobby Bones
You do. But there is no reason that he's gonna feel he needs to sign that contract. There's nothing to do with that.
Amy
Okay, if he doesn't want to sign it, then I'll just take my money out.
Eddie
Boom. There we go.
Bobby Bones
Now there's a reason for him to sign it.
Eddie
It's leverage.
Bobby Bones
But the problem is, he won't give you his money. Your money.
Lunchbox
Well, what do you mean I won't?
Amy
No, he needs to.
Bobby Bones
He doesn't have it right now.
Amy
I know he doesn't have it right now, but I'll give him five business days.
Lunchbox
Okay. I'll bring it tomorrow.
Eddie
There you go. That's not true.
Amy
You. Okay, you don't want to just still do this together and have fun and just. No.
Eddie
No.
Lunchbox
You're trying to make it all complicated with a contract. You went and got a lawyer to type you up something.
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
Or your boyfriend.
Amy
I Googled it. My boyfriend, Trust me, did not take time to work on this. It says Lunchbox signature down here at the bottom. And mine.
Eddie
Amy, what'd you do? Did you Google contract?
Amy
Yeah. Investment agreement?
Eddie
Yeah. That's cool.
Amy
And then it. I just put the date parties, the investment capital.
Eddie
Sounds pretty standard.
Amy
Monthly reporting and transparency is all I'm asking for. And then a dispersal monthly reporting.
Bobby Bones
She wants a full report from Lunchbox on the performance of the stock.
Amy
We would never. Sometimes we would forget we had this investment with him, and we'd be like, oh. And he'd be like, oh, let me go get out my phone. And, like, I'd rather him just, like, be paying attention to it once a month.
Lunchbox
Or you could just look at the stock and say, oh, Nvidia's up today.
Amy
I think it's fine.
Bobby Bones
I bought a bunch. Whenever we put it in with him, So I could monitor it myself to see where it was. So that's how I kept track of it.
Amy
Yeah, I just thought this could be fun. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Ah. Yeah. I'm not really in the signing contract.
Bobby Bones
Are you officially saying you want your money on five days? Yeah.
Amy
If he can't sign this, then I need the money. And that's a bummer because I thought he would sign this and it could be fun.
Lunchbox
Nah.
Bobby Bones
Hey, have you talked to your neighbor that may sue you?
Lunchbox
Yeah. There is good news on that front, guys. I will not be getting sued. I saw her walking the dog, arm in a sling, and she. I said, hey, so how are you? She said, well, went out and just.
Bobby Bones
Pursued the how are you?
Lunchbox
Yeah, because I manage. Every time I see her walking the dog, I'm like, man, is she walking by my house, like, thinking, I'm gonna sue this guy? And I said, you know, like, what exactly happened? And she was like, well, my dog saw a squirrel and kind of yanked. And then I slipped on the ice, and I went to the urgent care. They gave me a little cast, but it was still hurting. And she went in, she had surgery on her wrist, so she has plates and, like, screws in there.
Eddie
Yikes.
Lunchbox
And I said, oh, well, like, you're not, like, planning to sue, are you?
Eddie
You said that?
Lunchbox
Yeah. I gotta ask, man. God. I mean, the living with the thought of them showing up at my door to say, you've been served, just kind of freaked me out. And so she's like, no, no, no, no. It was my fault. You know what I mean? I should have been more careful and kept the dog a little tighter and not let him chase the squirrel. I was like, that's all I had to hear. Have a great day.
Bobby Bones
You sent her on her way. You didn't care anymore.
Lunchbox
That was it. That's why I didn't need to talk to her anymore. But I am not getting sued, man.
Eddie
I thought you would at least, like, v. Like, record her and be like. So are you saying it's the dog's fault why you fell and then record that? Just.
Lunchbox
I didn't even think about that. No liability to me.
Bobby Bones
Right?
Eddie
Is that what you're saying?
Lunchbox
Say that one more time a little bit louder.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I didn't even think doing an impression of you.
Eddie
You would just talk.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. Oh, you guys were making fun of me.
Eddie
Yeah. No, we're just doing your voice.
Lunchbox
I didn't get it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm glad she's not suing you're.
Lunchbox
Good for you. Yeah. Feels good. Can't believe I lost a business partner today.
Amy
You don't have to just sign it.
Bobby Bones
No, you could literally take the same money and put it right back in at the same rate.
Lunchbox
Everything's the same, but your profit won't be the same.
Bobby Bones
Well, she'd be able to buy that because of the profit that she made.
Lunchbox
Right, but. But she would be back to even instead of up.
Bobby Bones
But no, she wouldn't be even because she's made money. Right, but she would be started with.
Lunchbox
Right, but she would go back in and the stock. She would have zero profit in the stock. The new stock, she'd be at zero profit.
Bobby Bones
You'd still be at profit from what you put in initially with your. With your money. You'd still be up that amount and you'd still own the same amount that you'd be taking out.
Amy
Yeah, it's not how I saw this going.
Eddie
You thought he'd sign it?
Bobby Bones
Like I'll sign something with no benefit to myself?
Amy
Yeah, but it's.
Eddie
Amy, you know him.
Amy
It's just a respectable agreement. We should have put together at the beginning.
Lunchbox
Hey, no, no. My word is a respectable agreement.
Eddie
Did you say crap all the time?
Lunchbox
I'm a man. I'm like oak. My word is like oak. Strong.
Amy
Jerry Maguire. Thank you.
Eddie
Is that it?
Bobby Bones
Jerry Maguire.
Lunchbox
Good catch. Amy. I'm so proud of you.
Eddie
That is so good because oak's a strong wood.
Lunchbox
I'm so glad that. I can't believe you got that.
Amy
You know what happens?
Bobby Bones
He.
Amy
He ends up not. His word is worth nothing.
Lunchbox
That was so impressive that she got that.
Bobby Bones
Has your algorithm showed you the new sport where the two men run at each other?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
So there's a new sport. I wish. Where they literally. There's no ball. They just slam at each other as hard as they can. It's called. Basically called run it straight.
Amy
This is for real?
Eddie
It's real.
Amy
A sport where.
Eddie
Australia.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's always like, Australia, New Zealand.
Amy
Do they have padding on?
Eddie
No. No.
Bobby Bones
Australia's Run Nation championship is a new contact sport where two people sprint each other full speed and slam head on, trying to knock the other person down. Medical experts warn that collisions cause serious brain injuries, with one neurologist calling for a ban of the entire thing.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
The sports second event recently sold out a almost 6,000 seat arena in Sydney. And they run. I'm talking no pads, just shorts and just slam. And it's like, who can stay up?
Eddie
They're big dudes, though. I mean, big dudes.
Bobby Bones
It's like rugby players.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, like that type of thing.
Amy
Okay, see, I was picturing, like, you saying bolt. Like, sprinting.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not really. Speed helps, but mostly it's about the girth of the human body.
Amy
Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
With the speed, a skinny guy would die.
Amy
Well, that's what I had in my head was, like, sprinters.
Eddie
Now they're big, meaty dudes.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
All right, here, we'll show you more.
Amy
Of, like, a flip here.
Bobby Bones
Now, if you're watching on YouTube, you'll be able to see this.
Amy
Oh, bottle.
Bobby Bones
A what?
Amy
Like a waddle run?
Bobby Bones
No, you go as fast as you can.
Amy
I know, but, like, if you're a big guy.
Eddie
Here we go. Ready? Oh, so they do have a ball.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the ones I was watching, they didn't have a ball, but.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Eddie
The ones I was watching, too, were outside. I haven't seen this arena.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, they're killing each other.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
Oh, there's no. Was there a ball in that one?
Lunchbox
Yeah, he fumbled.
Eddie
I wonder if that's part of it. Trying to make him fumble.
Amy
How do you get. How do you become the person holding the ball?
Eddie
And then there are these dudes doing it at home.
Bobby Bones
But, see, they don't have a ball.
Eddie
Right?
Bobby Bones
Or does one gaba ball there?
Eddie
Yeah, they have balls.
Bobby Bones
Great.
Amy
Kids are gonna start doing this.
Bobby Bones
This is just begging for a concussion.
Amy
Yeah, this is problematic.
Bobby Bones
The world's dumbest sport.
Amy
Whatever.
Guest
This kind of reminds me of the slap competitions where they slap each other in the face.
Bobby Bones
I don't like watching those.
Eddie
I don't understand that one, though. Like, okay, you can take a slap better than someone else. Like, how do you control that?
Bobby Bones
Well, you can. You have a chin, but you also are good at hitting. Just.
Eddie
Just. You're just born with a chin that.
Bobby Bones
Can take a hit, but it's also the hitting as well. Yeah, so it's. But, yeah, no, it seems stupid to me too, but people make a lot of money.
Eddie
That's connected to, like, ufc, right? That's Dana White.
Bobby Bones
Same owners, I think.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
Does TKO own that, or is just Dana White a part of that?
Eddie
I think Dan is just a person.
Bobby Bones
Part of it, because TKO owns WWE and ufc.
Eddie
Oh, really? Can you get stock in that tko?
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
I think it's a public, public company. I think we bought some.
Eddie
I love everything they do.
Bobby Bones
Did we buy some of that?
Lunchbox
Yeah, we did.
Bobby Bones
Amy, do we have money? We have other money.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Eddie
Your money's still in there.
Amy
Wait, do we have money? In that?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, dude, you need a contract.
Amy
Yeah, exactly.
Bobby Bones
I didn't even remember that.
Amy
I have.
Bobby Bones
How.
Amy
How much do we have in that?
Lunchbox
Like a hundred dollars. It's gone up like.
Eddie
Like a hundred.
Lunchbox
No, really, that's what we put in.
Amy
I think we each put in 100 or we put in collect.
Eddie
You imagine if you went to one of these companies, you're like, how much money do I have in this? They're like, I don't know, like a hundred.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Eddie
I think, give or take. Why do you. Why do you get offended by this lunchbox? It's just true. Like, it's okay for her to try to get a contract.
Lunchbox
I didn't get offended. I'm looking up to see if Power Slap is owned by tko. That was all I was doing.
Amy
Well, next, will you look up our TA. Tko?
Lunchbox
What do you want to know about it?
Amy
What would you.
Bobby Bones
What would you think? We wanted to know about it?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Amy
Wait, did.
Bobby Bones
What about.
Amy
Do we have any other investments?
Bobby Bones
That's the problem. I think our slap is. I mean, that's the owner, Dana White, so it doesn't have to be a TKO property, but it looks like he does own that.
Amy
Shame on us.
Eddie
I don't like that one. Bare knuckle fighting. That's kind of cool. I've been watching that.
Amy
I do not like that.
Bobby Bones
But I think people would feel the same way about that that you do about slapping. Like, why are you doing this?
Eddie
The bare knuckle?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You're just getting hit and hitting, but it just.
Eddie
To me, the bare knuckle feels like it's just two dudes. Like, all right. It's just us and our dukes, you know, like no gloves, no kick, no nothing. And it's. I don't know. It's cool.
Bobby Bones
But in bare knuckle, you could probably not get hit as well if you're really good.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Slapping you just are going to take a shot.
Eddie
And there's no padding on the fist, you know, so, like, if you hit him, it hurts you, too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, lunchboxes.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. My. I must be like a guru at investing because it's up 101% since. Got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. What do we have in there?
Lunchbox
Market value is 22910.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I'd like to have that. Like to have my third.
Eddie
You want to pull out again?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. Why? I considered that your taxes.
Bobby Bones
Fair enough.
Lunchbox
That's really why I did it. I didn't. I was like, I can't calculate taxes. So I figured 30 bucks seems good.
Eddie
Wait, hold on.
Bobby Bones
Also, it's more than 30 bucks. Yeah. Because 30 times three would be nine under 100.
Eddie
You're trying to 30 lunchbox. Is that what it is?
Lunchbox
Oh, I was thinking about what we put in. I guess you're right. It would have been 60.
Bobby Bones
It's over 200, right?
Lunchbox
Well, now it is today. I mean, it wasn't back. It's been up the last week. It's gone up.
Bobby Bones
You can keep my TKO money and we're set. We're clear on taxes.
Eddie
Sure, but what other ones do you have in there?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. That's why he just like, what off.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Bobby Bones
So no more. No more.
Lunchbox
All right.
Bobby Bones
Do we have any other in there with you?
Lunchbox
No, we have. We bought the one with Ray that went down.
Amy
So we have another one.
Lunchbox
Well, yeah, it's negative like $30.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but there's still money in it that we own. It's not minus 30 where we owe it. 30 more dollars.
Lunchbox
What was it called? Academy.
Amy
Oh, yeah, we have academy.
Lunchbox
$17 worth.
Eddie
Wait, wait. You just said you don't have anything else and now you name two.
Lunchbox
That wasn't a good one.
Eddie
We lost my bunch in there.
Bobby Bones
Hey, I'm telling you, Rape told me to buy Royal Caribbean. It is by far my highest.
Lunchbox
No chance.
Bobby Bones
What isn't?
Lunchbox
It's not as high as Nvidia. Nvidia is 90%.
Eddie
But Bobby's not in Nvidia anymore.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I am. I have it over here too. I can show you.
Amy
Yeah, he bought it.
Bobby Bones
Yes, I bought it at the same. Same rate.
Amy
So where's. This is not a good time to get in on Royal Caribbean now.
Bobby Bones
I can show you. I'll pull it up on my phone. Royal Caribbean is. Here's the difference.
Eddie
Let me see.
Bobby Bones
I can do Royal Caribbean for the same amount. I've made 1500. And Nvidia I've made 1300.
Lunchbox
But what's the percentage? What percentage did it go up in that time? That's what matters.
Amy
This isn't to be a broker.
Eddie
Hey, good job, broker. That sounded good.
Lunchbox
See, I know my stocks.
Eddie
You sound like you knew what you're talking about.
Bobby Bones
Percent change. Nvidia plus 0.3. Royal Caribbean plus 0.71.
Lunchbox
No, that's not right. It's 90%. Nvidia since we bought it, is up 90%.
Bobby Bones
I'm just telling you what's on my app here.
Lunchbox
We've had a 90% return on our money with Nvidia.
Bobby Bones
In the week, Royal Caribbean's almost up 1%. Nvidia is down half a percent. In the month, Nvidia is down 0.62. Royal Caribbean's up 0.71. In three month, Royal Caribbean's up 0.76. Nvidia is down 0.6. One year to date, Royal Caribbean's up 0.7. Nvidia is up, down 0.56. Now it's. It's outperformed Nvidia in all ways. Okay.
Lunchbox
Here you go.
Bobby Bones
Okay, look, all time. Listen, I bought it. Royal Caribbean up 857% plus 857. Nvidia plus 74. So almost getting close to 100. But Royal Caribbean's up 857.
Eddie
Wow. Big difference.
Bobby Bones
Big difference.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Huge.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Ray, you should do this, man.
Sweepstakes Host
Yeah, I mean, there's other ways to do it. I'm still learning.
Amy
You should do what?
Sweepstakes Host
Stock trading?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Like be a day trader.
Eddie
You do though, right, Ray?
Sweepstakes Host
No, I mean, it's not buying and selling. There's also things called margins where you get premiums. But I'm still learning. It is so complicated. And if you don't know what you're doing, you can lose a lot of money.
Eddie
Ray's favorite movie is Wolf of Wall Street. Like, other than the illegal stuff, Ray wants to be that dude.
Bobby Bones
It's up 856% since I bought it. Since you want me to buy it.
Amy
When did you buy it?
Bobby Bones
In 2020, right after the pandemic. Because Ray's like, buy Royal Caribbean.
Eddie
I remember that.
Sweepstakes Host
That was literally my buddy who works at Costco, and he goes, now I'm honestly considering retiring. So whatever you made, he made equally. That much.
Eddie
How did he. What was his inside working at Costco?
Sweepstakes Host
He lives there. He's down there in Fort Lauderdale. He sees all the boats go in. He goes, they're still going out during the pandemic. This is gonna boom afterwards. And it did.
Bobby Bones
There you go. All right, we're done, everybody. Thank you, Amy. I get your money back. If I could.
Eddie
If I would.
Bobby Bones
If I could.
Amy
It wasn't how I was expecting it to go, but I guess if he doesn't sign it, I need to stick.
Eddie
With the fact that he said tomorrow.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he said, you never mind tomorrow.
Bobby Bones
Hey, GoPro's down 62% though, right? He told me to buy that one.
Eddie
Yeah.
Sweepstakes Host
I mean, maybe with this video stuff in the news, GoPros will become more popular. Get more footage of these crimes, maybe.
Eddie
Or the Olympics, Ray. Like, you know, Those helmet cams. GoPro helmet cams.
Sweepstakes Host
That as well.
Amy
Did y' all see the Ukrainian Olympian? That.
Bobby Bones
The helmet thing?
Amy
He. Yeah, he. He didn't. Like, you work that hard as an Olympian and then you. He had athletes or. I don't know if they were Olympians or just Ukrainian athletes that had died in the war. And he had them on the. On his helmet. And he was like, I'm racing in this helmet. And they're like, if you raise that helmet, you're disqualified. So he's like, guess I'm disqualified.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And he's out.
Eddie
Oh, dang.
Amy
I was like, wow, would I do that?
Bobby Bones
I think I would.
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Put the helmet on, they say. But underneath, right before I went, I'd peel it off.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then I'd have all my friends on there.
Eddie
What was it? Stickers?
Bobby Bones
No, it's a paint. It's painted helmet, right?
Amy
Yeah. Or sticker. Yeah, it looked like. Yes. Either painted on or stuck on the various people.
Bobby Bones
Like 20 of them all is like.
Eddie
Like dead. Fallen. Fallen buddies.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Lunchbox
So he didn't even get to race.
Bobby Bones
No, he pulled out.
Lunchbox
Oh. I thought, like, he was, like, on the medal stage.
Amy
No, that's why I was asking myself, dang, would I go through all that to finally make it to the Olympics? And then that'd be my stance. I understand that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And I'm like, wow, that takes a lot. And then I did wonder about his fallen friends, if they would be like.
Bobby Bones
Mad at him unless they called us. Unless he. They called his bluff. And he's like, well, crap, now I have to get out.
Amy
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Like, I'm out if you don't let me. And they're like, nah, we're not letting you. Oh, crap. Yeah. All right, that's it. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Goodbye, everybody.

Episode: THURS PT 2: Remembering James Van Der Beek + Why Does Bobby’s Wife Call Him A Boomer? + Is Eddie Paying For Dinner Tonight?
Host: Bobby Bones (Premiere Networks)
Regular Cast: Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox, additional guests
This episode of The Bobby Bones Show delivers a blend of somber and lighthearted moments. The first major topic is the death and remembrance of actor James Van Der Beek, how his family and fans are rallying in support, and insights into the financial fallout of a prolonged illness. The show then pivots to trending news stories, personal anecdotes, viral moments, and recurring workplace and friendship dynamics among the cast. The banter includes debates about splitting dinner tabs, social media (and being called a “Boomer”), updates on true crime sagas, and a running joke/argument about group stock investments.
“Fame only sometimes translates to money… and only if the famous through multiple avenues of continuing money.”
— Bobby Bones (06:12), reflecting on Van Der Beek’s financial troubles
“My wife saw me on Facebook. She’s like, ‘Why are you on Facebook, Boomer?’”
— Bobby Bones (24:46), about generational differences on social media
“At least Offset will give me gifts worth millions…Stefon, he gave me nothing. I regret having a child with him.”
— Cardi B (Clip, 14:11), during the breakup segment
“My word is like oak. Strong.”
— Lunchbox (43:35), in reference to refusing to sign an investment contract
The show is conversational, alternating between sincere (remembrances, true crime discussion) and irreverent (running gags about debts, office life, dumb sports, and stock squabbles). The hosts roast each other in a familiar, playful way, but switch to somber or empathetic tones when touching on tragedy or ethical dilemmas.
This episode is a microcosm of The Bobby Bones Show strengths: heartfelt tributes, viral news breakdown, and real-life debates—all spiced with signature banter. Whether discussing the legacy and struggles of a beloved actor, navigating true crime updates, or lightheartedly arguing about who owes who dinner or stock profits, the hosts keep the conversation lively, relatable, and emotionally authentic.
