[Lunchbox]

Come on, Bobby.

[Amy]

Transmitting across America.

[Scuba Steve]

This is the Bobby.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go. Welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning, Studio. Morning, Amy. Have you seen Santa at the mall yet?

[Morgan]

No, I haven't. Is he there?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think he. Oh, I know he is because Lunchbox went to see him. And I always thought, I thought it'd be fun for Kayla and I to get a picture with Santa.

[Bobby Bones]

But then we.

[Lunchbox]

I think we just feel stupid waiting in line when all the kids want to meet Santa too. But probably not as stupid as what Lunchbox felt like because.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox went to the mall, right?

[Ray Mundo]

I went to the mall. I got in line. There's families there with their kids. You know, everybody's all excited. And I'm just standing there and I'm just waiting in line. I had to wait about 35 minutes. And I even had one father ask me, excuse me, are you in line? I was like, yeah. And he goes, oh, okay. And I was like, they're like, oh, where are your kids? Like, not just me. And he was like, okay.

[Lunchbox]

So are they side eyeing you the whole time? That is weird.

[Ray Mundo]

Definitely side eyeing. I felt like they. I mean, I felt like people were just kept looking at me like, is he really waiting in line to see Santa? Is he really waiting in line to see Santa? And I was really waiting. I got up to the front of the line and I told him, look, I don't want to buy any packages. I just want to sit on the big man's lap.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so that's how they make money. You have to buy, like a picture package.

[Ray Mundo]

Yes. And the cheapest is not. Yeah, it's expensive.

[Lunchbox]

And what did they say when you said you didn't want to buy a package?

[Bobby Bones]

You, an adult man, 40 years old.

[Lunchbox]

Wanted to sit on his lap.

[Ray Mundo]

They said, okay, come on up.

[Lunchbox]

And I guess they can't discriminate, right?

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, they can't say no. I mean, it's just Santa. I'm going to see Santa and tell him what's on my wish list.

[Lunchbox]

And what did Santa, what, What did his eyes tell you when you're walking toward him?

[Ray Mundo]

He was, I think he was looking around me to see, oh, are the kids right behind him? And as I approached and he saw no kids, he was like, are we really doing this? Like, he had that look like, is this a serious thing? And then he kind of patted it. And I was like, yeah. And I climbed up on his lap.

[Lunchbox]

He patted his knee once he realized you weren't kidding.

[Ray Mundo]

Yep, that's what he does. Like, come on. You know, I guess he does that with the kids, so I guess it's a natural reaction. But he patted, and I climbed up on his lap.

[Lunchbox]

All right, here is lunchbox sitting on Santa's lap.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh. Merry Christmas, Santa.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, how you doing?

[Ray Mundo]

I'm good. How are you? All right, I gotta confess right off the bat, I've been a little naughty this year. But just with my wife. Okay? That's it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Ray Mundo]

So don't hold that against me. Now, I got a couple things on my wish list. Santa, you bring me lottery tickets every year, but they're always losers. Oh, my goodness. We'll see if we can do that. So, Santa, I need to hit it big. I need to hit millions of dollars this year. I need a big lottery ticket. I get $5 this week. Yeah, but I mean, I want millions so I can retire. I understand. Okay. And then number two is Tina Turner. When you go down her chimney, if you can, leave her a note letting her know that I'm a good guy. Been dreaming about meeting her. She's my favorite artist of all time. Okay, and then our last one, I got one person on the naughty list, Abby, who I work with. She is a liar. She lies and lie. You can't trust her, Santa. So I need you to bring her a bag of coal and that is it.

[Lunchbox]

I'll do what I can.

[Ray Mundo]

All right. Merry Christmas. Happy holiday, Santa. Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

All right, I heard a couple things there.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

One, I heard Santa just wanting lunchbox to go away. Two, I did hear Santa bro out with Lunchbox a little bit and go, hey, man, I won five bucks the.

[Bobby Bones]

Other day.

[Lunchbox]

Which I thought, I think is pretty funny. So what happened when you left?

[Ray Mundo]

I. I don't. I mean, he. I felt like he was just. Like, he asked the girls. He's like, that was interesting or something like that. Something along those lines. And they just kind of laughed and went on our merry way.

[Morgan]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Ray Mundo]

Merry Christmas. Then the next group came up with some kids.

[Lunchbox]

Nice job, Lunchbox.

[Ray Mundo]

Thanks.

[Morgan]

Did anyone else think that Santa sounded like Scotty McCreary or Trace Adkins?

[Eddie]

Josh Turner.

[Lunchbox]

Turner.

[Bobby Bones]

It's Josh Turner.

[Ray Mundo]

Moonlighting.

[Lunchbox]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the Bobby Bones Show.

[Ray Mundo]

It's the anonymous inbox.

[Lunchbox]

Hello, Bobby Owens. I've been dating this girl for five months. I thought I nailed her Christmas gift, given our time frame of Dating. She had told me a couple months ago about a brand that she loves. So I went on her Instagram. I found the brand. I bought her some shirts and lounge pants based on posts that she had liked on their profile. I had her sister help me out with the sizes. Gift is set and ready to go. But this past weekend, she out of nowhere gave me a clue to my Christmas gift and said I'm going to be so surprised. She added that she can't wait to see my face when I open it. That leads me to believe she went and did way more than I did. I'm thinking she got me something awesome now and my shirts and lounge pants I got her are going to be lame in comparison. So I didn't step it up, get her something bigger or did I do enough? Signed boyfriend anxious of a Christmas surprise? Yeah, tough one. So I don't feel like she's the type of person though that's getting you a gift as a score keep though, right? And I think if you feel the same as I'm saying where if she's getting you an awesome gift, but she's getting it because she likes to get gifts for people, that could be her love language. That could be she loves you. I don't know. But as long as that is authentic, then it doesn't matter because I think she'll understand. You've been together five months. And also I hate when people say I got a surprise for you because I always overbuild it. Somebody's like, oh, you this surprise come don't. I don't want to know you like surprises.

[Ray Mundo]

You just.

[Lunchbox]

I don't want to be told. I hate knowing I have a surprise coming. But if you can surprise me, that's great. I would not spend too much time invested in worrying about this because you don't know what she got you. Maybe if you're close with her sister. Ask her sister. Hey, this is a little bit tough on me right now. I'm anxious because she was bragging about how good her gift is. Do I need to step up my game? Because sister could do a little recon for you.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's a good idea.

[Lunchbox]

But I wouldn't spend too much time worried about it. You can always get her back on New Year's.

[Eddie]

How about.

[Lunchbox]

How about one more gift with a ring? What?

[Eddie]

Throw one more gift on it just in case.

[Lunchbox]

Sure.

[Eddie]

Just in case, like you don't want. You don't want to be. The one problem though is if you.

[Lunchbox]

Get a really great gift and she kind of gets you something crappy, and she's described it wrong.

[Eddie]

You win, though. You win.

[Lunchbox]

But then she's like, you're being clingy. You're going too fast.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's too much, man.

[Lunchbox]

That's a weird time. Five months is a weird time for Christmas to come up because that's in that kind of purgatory spot. Like, either you're just now a relationship, like a full relationship for a couple of months, or you're not quite there, but it's still there. So I think you did good. And if you feel like she's not someone doing it to keep score, then.

[Morgan]

Which do you want to be with? Someone that's gonna.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But sometimes you don't know until, you know. I'm big scorekeeper.

[Morgan]

Well, this is one way to find out.

[Lunchbox]

If my wife would have known that, she probably would have married me. I love to keep score. Good luck with that, boyfriend. Anxious surprise. Let us know what she got you, Bones. All right, we have the Yuletide carolers back in studio. Abby is a member of this group. They're dressed in their Victorian apparel. 1800s, it looks like. Like, if somebody was out going paper get your news? Yeah, that would be a newsy. That wouldn't be them. But they kind of remind me of each other because it's some. It's like old school. And they sing songs, and so they're gonna do the song that Abby has a. Like a solo in, huh?

[Morgan]

One. One line one, beginning.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

Here comes Santa Claus.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, here she is. This is the Yul Tide Careless, featuring.

[Morgan]

Friends at the Bobby Bones Show.

[Lunchbox]

It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.

[Eddie]

The Pizza Roma is a pizza shop. And they get a call one day, right? And they're like, oh, I'd like to order 16 pizzas. They go, okay, no problem. Put the order in. Put the pizzas in the oven. They're ready to go. No one picks them up and didn't pay for them. Did not pay for them. They're like, oh my gosh, this is like $200 worth of pizzas. So they go on social media and say, hey, if anyone like maybe forgot their pizzas, like, we made these pizzas. They're here, they're ready for you. And it happened for like a week. No one ever came up and claimed the pizzas until one guy says, you know what, man, I love you guys. I love your place. I'm an army veteran. I like to do good things for people. Let me pay for the pizzas. I didn't order them. So he went and he paid 200 for all the pizzas.

[Lunchbox]

Feel like they should do some sort of. If it's like more than four pizzas, some sort of deposit or pay for them all.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Or don't start the order unless you know it's for real. For real.

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah, but that's, that's how you get a deposit. Yeah, yeah. Or paying for it all. But I guess if I order a pizza now, we pay for it all up front.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe just some.

[Lunchbox]

Some local chains still do it the old fashioned way.

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Lunchbox]

Which I would say, don't do old fashioned anymore. Be new fashion.

[Eddie]

What about Amy's Pizzas? Like, how did.

[Lunchbox]

When they ordered Them to her house and she moved.

[Eddie]

They must have been doing it old fashioned way.

[Lunchbox]

No, they could have paid for it.

[Morgan]

They were paid for.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And they brought them and dropped them off at her house and Amy's like, I don't know. Those are for. And I'm gonna move. And she moved.

[Eddie]

Who would pay for those? Just to drop them off. And like, weird.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, you're paying for a joke.

[Eddie]

That's an expensive joke.

[Lunchbox]

How many pizzas was it?

[Morgan]

I think it's from four different places. I don't remember exactly.

[Lunchbox]

80 bucks for a joke.

[Morgan]

It was like, and it's gonna make.

[Lunchbox]

Her move out of her house. That's pretty solid. It's a pretty sound investment.

[Morgan]

Because the first time, like I thought an accident, it's like Papa John's. And then like the next week, Pizza Bramie from Domino's. I'm like, what? And then. And it was like different. Like different name, different credit cards or I can't remember something like. Cuz I kept looking at the receipt to see if there was similarities and I couldn't match anything.

[Bobby Bones]

So how long until you moved?

[Lunchbox]

And you thought, I can't handle this.

[Morgan]

What was that in combination of a letter that was put in my mailbox. So my mailbox was up at my. So I had a little fence around my front yard. So you have to go through the fence and up to the mailbox which was attached by my front door. Like, and you lift up the lever and put a letter inside. And I got this note and I'm like, this is said, do you like pizza? This is odd that like you're. Someone found where I lived and is dropping me notes now.

[Eddie]

So.

[Morgan]

And then at the time when I was married, Ben was going to Afghanistan like a lot. And so I was alone and I was like, I am leaving.

[Lunchbox]

So I talked to Daniel from Tig and Daniel, who I've often said probably was the mastermind. Him or Lunchbox. And Daniel has said, I'll come to a lie detector. Like, I did not do this. He's like, I will show up because he lives in Tulsa now. I will drive to Nashville, take a lie detector. I don't think he did it anymore. I think Lunchbox did it.

[Eddie]

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays. Tim McGraw here. I look forward to Christmas each year because at our house, we have an afternoon Christmas Eve spaghetti dinner party with all my family, and all of my family and Faith's family come in, and we have spaghetti and meatballs and garlic bread, and we play games and make fun of each other all day. That's what Christmas is all about.

[Lunchbox]

Happy Holidays from the Bobby Bones Show. Having two kids makes you live longer, but three kids will kill you.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, how about four?

[Eddie]

You're already dead.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, four. This is not real. Dude, you've been dead for years. A study found that having kids makes you live longer, but only if you have max. Two people with two kids are up to 10 more likely to make it to 76 years old than people who don't reproduce. But having more could actually kill you.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. Wow.

[Morgan]

So, all right. I'm gonna live the longest.

[Ray Mundo]

No.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because Lunchbox has three, and I have four.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I may live forever.

[Eddie]

You have zero.

[Morgan]

No people with two live longer than people with no kids. Besides, who it said that. You said that.

[Ray Mundo]

Just read that.

[Morgan]

It came out of you like you're in denial. Dude, your Eyeballs. Read it.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on. Caitlin, get ready.

[Eddie]

I'm coming home.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Eventually, we're gonna have kids. I think as long as I work. I haven't, like, tested me.

[Eddie]

Oh, if they work.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did they swim?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

I don't think you need to test it.

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm just saying she's not pregnant now. We plan to have children, and as long as physically everything checks out, it. We will be rolling down the river.

[Eddie]

There's only one way to test it.

[Ray Mundo]

That's right.

[Lunchbox]

No, there's. There's things you can order online multiple.

[Eddie]

Ways, but there's a good way to.

[Lunchbox]

Test it, you know? Okay, I'm not. I'm not arguing with that part. But you said there's only one way to test it.

[Eddie]

You know what I'm saying?

[Ray Mundo]

That's pretty much true.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie, is there a difference of two kids and four kids?

[Eddie]

Yeah, 100. Dude, when, like. And no disrespect, and if anyone's listening.

[Lunchbox]

Anytime you say no disrespect, somebody's getting.

[Eddie]

Disrespected, and any of my boys are listening. Look what all I'm saying.

[Morgan]

Daddy loves you.

[Eddie]

Daddy loves every single one of you equally. But as soon as you take even one away, the dynamic is, like, completely different.

[Lunchbox]

Like, wow.

[Eddie]

It's a lot quieter. Like, for some reason, you take two away, we're like, dude, I can do this for the rest of my life. This is amazing. Like, I don't know what it is, but that four kid dynamic is chaos. It's almost like just. They gang up on you. It's like walking in on a gang and they just do whatever they want. It's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Walked into, like, their.

[Eddie]

Their hideout, and they're just like, you don't belong.

[Lunchbox]

Or like bikers in a bar, and you're like, what the.

[Eddie]

The music stops. Yeah, exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Do they ever all four team up?

[Eddie]

Yeah. And it's not like they team up against the parents. It's just that to get control of the environment as a parent is almost impossible with four, because there just so many of them. And even the baby, he's like four now. He's the youngest, but even him, like, with the four, they're all crazy. And he joins in, all of a sudden, he's like a teenager too. But as soon as, like, the baby and say the. The youngest one goes away, it's just different. It's just different.

[Lunchbox]

It's.

[Eddie]

It's doable. It's so much easier. It's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Do you divide and conquer?

[Eddie]

Yeah, sometimes. And that's kind of where I've talked about. But you guys make fun of me. There's one on one time that we do because it's important. Because when it's four kids and you.

[Lunchbox]

Try to like, it's not that. It's not that. You just say you do it every day. You like talk about how you spend all this one on one time with all your kids and it just comes off as a little Ward Cleaver. And that's not the truth.

[Eddie]

Well, it's not just me. Like I'll take one and my wife will take one kind of thing even still.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I hear you.

[Eddie]

That's what we do.

[Lunchbox]

Everybody have two kids, don't have three.

[Eddie]

Well, too late.

[Lunchbox]

Or four.

[Eddie]

It is what it is.

[Lunchbox]

Or five. Alright, thank you guys.

[Lunchbox]

But you're still a winner going into Christmas. You have a blue Christmas without me. There he is. Eddie, everybody. Merry Christmas, everybody.

[Morgan]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays.

[Lunchbox]

It's time for the good news with Amy.

[Scuba Steve]

Tell me something good.

[Morgan]

So Norma Hernandez, she has cancer, and she was upset that she wasn't able to get her nails done before she had to go into the hospital, which I can understand that feeling. I feel like when my mom was in the hospital fighting cancer, a lot of times she wanted to look good, you know, look good, feel good, feel good, you know, so she didn't get her nails done. A local nail salon heard about it in LCK called Absolute Nails, and they showed up at the hospital to give her a complimentary manicure.

[Lunchbox]

That's awesome. And it's about so much more than the complimentary manicure. It's about the thought and caring enough about it to take part of their day to go help her. And I'm sure it made her feel so much better and cared for. That's a great story.

[Bobby Bones]

See, you don't have to be a.

[Lunchbox]

Millionaire to affect people's lives. And shout out in Lubbock, what's her name? We get my nails done there. What's it called?

[Morgan]

Oh, well, her name is Norma. But Absolute Nails.

[Lunchbox]

Absolutely. Put up my calendar next time in Lubbock, getting nails done.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And then shout out to Norma's friend Debbie, because that's how Absolute Nails heard about it. She was calling around a different salon to see who could possibly come up to the hospital to help.

[Lunchbox]

Shout out to everybody.

[Ray Mundo]

You know?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's it. That's what it's all about. That was.

[Ray Mundo]

Tell me something good, Bones.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I felt this. I don't know that I would do it, but it seems like something that would accidentally happen to me where this guy was trying to kill a cockroach, and one thing led to another, and he blew up his whole apartment.

[Eddie]

One thing led to another.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I don't. Like, I felt that. Because you just are so dialed in. Accidents happen. You're trying to kill the bug. It's annoying. You're trying bigger things to kill the bug. Next thing you know, the table catches on fire. Boom. So the curtain. And now it's too big.

[Eddie]

How did the fire even come in? Like, what happened to just smashing it with a. Like, a shoe?

[Lunchbox]

So he saw a car. He saw a cockroach. One cockroach. And he started spraying insecticide.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Or just killer. Right. That. That's insecticide. So then with all that there, it did not kill the bug. So then he's like, well, all right. The guy was, like, cooking. Caught on fire. The insecticide and then everything else.

[Eddie]

Open flame.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Got him.

[Lunchbox]

They don't know if the roach lived. Roach could still be chilling everyone.

[Eddie]

Everything.

[Lunchbox]

Everybody's alive, destroyed, except the roach. Yeah. Experts now warn that Even spraying your electrical outlets have the same results. So don't do that. But, like, I felt that. Like, he didn't know that. How's he supposed to know that? That's from Straits Times. Let's go to Amy and get in the morning Corny.

[Ray Mundo]

The morning Corny.

[Morgan]

What a gingerbread men use when they break their legs.

[Lunchbox]

Candy canes, Crunch. Candy canes.

[Morgan]

Candy canes.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the morning Corny.

[Eddie]

Bones.

[Lunchbox]

Wake up.

[Morgan]

Up.

[Lunchbox]

You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning.

[Ray Mundo]

His wigs.

[Lunchbox]

Next bit, and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is?

[Scuba Steve]

This is.

[Lunchbox]

I haven't heard this yet, but I'm being told this could be on the list of Lunchbox's most cringiest moments. I thought how you told me that you set up an interview with Guy Fieri.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And that you talked about food and life, and we were going to play it back, but that's not what happened.

[Ray Mundo]

No, it's not what happened. I got an insider tip that he was opening a chicken restaurant in town and that he was going to be dropping by the chicken restaurant. So, I mean, you know me. If he's going to be there, I'm going.

[Lunchbox]

So you go, was he there?

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, he was there. And there was a lot of people there. News cameras, everything.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay.

[Ray Mundo]

And I mean, talking bodyguards. Like, four guys in suit.

[Lunchbox]

So it was like a press day.

[Ray Mundo]

I don't know if it's a press day.

[Lunchbox]

It was a press day. So all everybody's told, yes, Scuba.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's a press day. He was in town filming stuff for dunnage dives and drives and all that. And they're doing a press thing about his chicken restaurant.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Ray Mundo]

And so I was like, man, well, I got to go. And so I went to get an interview.

[Lunchbox]

So what are the. I went to get an interview because I got to go. Doesn't.

[Morgan]

But he had no, like, press credentials.

[Ray Mundo]

No, I just had me in a T shirt and shorts and flip flops and just walked in with my. My iPhone. Nothing official. Just really just walked into the chicken restaurant and just planted myself against the wall and boom. I hid behind the TV cameras. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

When you have to hide to get an interview, this also. Hey, Mike, can I read where it.

[Bobby Bones]

Says off air note?

[Lunchbox]

Can I read that on the air or.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Scuba, that's just.

[Eddie]

That's just context for you. That kind of gives everything away.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it does.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, got it. Okay, so I'm gonna hit the clip. What do I Need to say before I play the clip.

[Ray Mundo]

I mean, let's just say that he was. He was about to do some stuff.

[Lunchbox]

We say.

[Ray Mundo]

Let's just say.

[Lunchbox]

Why does he just say he was.

[Ray Mundo]

About to do stuff for tv? Like they had all the news channels there. And I was like, you guys, wait. I got myself.

[Lunchbox]

And he didn't know you were talking.

[Ray Mundo]

He had no idea who I was.

[Scuba Steve]

Here we go.

[Ray Mundo]

Make sure you're listening to the Bobby Bones Show.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know who you are. You are in my face more than anybody.

[Ray Mundo]

So, James, at least explain to me who you. My name is. I'll tell you.

[Lunchbox]

So I know who Bobby Bones is.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Ray Mundo]

I'm Lunchbox. I'm on the morning show. We're on.

[Lunchbox]

You better be legit if you're.

[Ray Mundo]

If you're in my grill about all this.

[Lunchbox]

I'm going to find the governor.

[Ray Mundo]

Listen, I am 100% legit. We are on 135 markets all over B. Let's go. Hey, just make sure you're listening. This is Guy F. And you're listening. Get my name right there.

[Lunchbox]

Get my name right there. There you go.

[Ray Mundo]

I know, I know. He just got it wrong.

[Lunchbox]

So this is Guy Fitty. Don't listen to Lunchbox, cuz he gets my name wrong every time.

[Ray Mundo]

But you know what?

[Lunchbox]

I'm listening to the Bobby Bone show now. Come on, Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Ray Mundo]

Whoa. What about that? Got him to do a liner for the show.

[Lunchbox]

I'm embarrassed that my name.

[Morgan]

It's okay. It wasn't you.

[Lunchbox]

It's like I'm sending out my henchmen. Yeah, like, it's like I'm one of the villains in Marvel sending out one of the guys to beat up the superhero.

[Eddie]

And he knows you. He said, I know who Bobby Bones is.

[Ray Mundo]

Wait, guys, were you not impressed? No, That I thought, hey, let me get a liner from him. Like, he has his back to me and I just go up and I.

[Lunchbox]

Start tapping him on the screen. My guts are cringing on that.

[Morgan]

How is that. That. How is that a liner? Because it wasn't very clear.

[Lunchbox]

Does it get worse? Oh, you added the list of the cringiest moments.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

We'll do maybe later today or tomorrow.

[Ray Mundo]

No, I don't understand. You didn't think that was good?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

Hey, when he said you were all up in his grill, like, what are.

[Ray Mundo]

You doing on the shoulder? And I said, hey, say you're listening to the Bobby Bones Show. Okay, I was trying to get him to say that he. Listens to Bobby Bones Show. I thought that was cool. You know how you say, oh, this is Jason ld. You're listening to the Bobby Bone Show. I thought it'd be cool to have Guy Fieri do it.

[Lunchbox]

I like that you're trying to say his name to his accent.

[Ray Mundo]

Well, because I said it wrong. And he goes, get my name right.

[Morgan]

Oh, gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so then why are you saying.

[Morgan]

How many markets we're in?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's best. If you're like, no.

[Ray Mundo]

He's like, are you legit? I'm like, dude, we're way legit.

[Morgan]

They don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even think that numbers right.

[Lunchbox]

Honestly, I think you're just yelling a number.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, you sound big.

[Morgan]

I think it's more than that.

[Ray Mundo]

More than that. I should say more. I'll write that down.

[Morgan]

But also, he's in syndication, and he's probably in, like, massive every market in the world.

[Ray Mundo]

That's what I'm saying. So he appreciates syndication. He. He understands big time.

[Lunchbox]

Let us play the next clip.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, can I describe the scene now?

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Ray Mundo]

He is standing against a wall.

[Lunchbox]

Let's just say.

[Ray Mundo]

No, no, this is not. No, let's not. Let's just say. Let's. Let's. Let's talk about it. So he's about to take questions from all these cameramen, like, local news stations. I'm like, they're gonna ask dumb questions. So I just turned around the iPhone, started selfie mode, and I did an interview with him. Me and him, without the news cameras.

[Lunchbox]

Did he know you were doing.

[Ray Mundo]

No, I just start yelling at him. I'm hanging out with Guy. I'm hanging out with Guy. You guys don't believe me and Guy are best friends, right, Guy? Best friends? No, no. I'm just excited.

[Lunchbox]

You have your dishwasher shift that starts in a half hour.

[Ray Mundo]

I. I know. That's why I got to get out of here quickly. But I just wanted to make sure everybody knew. We're friends. We're friends, right? Say we're friends.

[Lunchbox]

Do not start.

[Ray Mundo]

Bludgeoning. Box and Guy are good friends.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox is out of control. You all know that.

[Ray Mundo]

But, Guy, my question is. Okay, look, if you want to come to my house and cook Mother's Day and get me out of the doghouse, how much would it cost?

[Lunchbox]

Okay, let's see. How much do you already owe me from the last one? Well, the 7500.

[Ray Mundo]

You're going to be the last one.

[Lunchbox]

So probably with another seven, it's going to be. It's Going to be up there around 20 grand lunch.

[Ray Mundo]

That's cool.

[Lunchbox]

No two party out of state. Check again.

[Ray Mundo]

[Lunchbox]

And you got kicked out.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Change diapers how?

[Lunchbox]

It's like great was that Guy doesn't want. He's trying to be a super nice guy and play along so you can get. They can remove you. And he's like just trying to joke and it's really not like like you're not presenting him a good canvas to joke back to. And then you're like baby, oh yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

I mean how great was that?

[Eddie]

No.

[Ray Mundo]

And I thought they would give me some of the chicken Guy chicken when I was on my way out but they didn't give me a chicken.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you weren't walking out on your own power though.

[Lunchbox]

They don't usually give parting gifts to people.

[Morgan]

They have to escort it, throw you.

[Eddie]

Out the door and give you a gift bag.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Hey.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks for causing a ruckus. Sorry we had to kick you out. Here's some chicken.

[Morgan]

[Ray Mundo]

Hahaha.

[Morgan]

Like that means get him.

[Ray Mundo]

How great was that?

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not the word I would.

[Eddie]

It wasn't great man.

[Lunchbox]

Not the word really. Thank you for this exclusive interview. I wonder if we submit it for like an ACM if we'll win, you know behind the scenes biggest interviews.

[Ray Mundo]

But you don't think Guy Guy had fun?

[Lunchbox]

No, I think he was quite annoyed and and was a great sport about it.

[Ray Mundo]

I mean because the. I will be honest, one of the news cameras like hey man, you. You're in my shot. You're in my. I don't care about your shot. Yeah, like I'm not worried about you.

[Bobby Bones]

[Morgan]

Sorry, I mean, really good.

[Lunchbox]

A little moderate. All right, that's it. Lunchbox. Thank you for that. You're welcome, Bones. Because this has been a topic of our show, I wanted to share this from the Hill. It's the holiday tipping guide. If you have to tip people, for example, they have on here trash collectors.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Cash or a gift card worth 20 to $30. Morgan, did you ever end up tipping your guy?

[I]

Yep.

[Morgan]

I put a check in the mail. Some trashman reach out to me. They said don't do cash because it's easy to get stolen, but do a check written out to them. So I wrote a check.

[Lunchbox]

And you put in the mail. Mail to that address.

[Morgan]

I did shots.

[Ray Mundo]

You're crazy. Did you tip your mailman too?

[Morgan]

No, I left her treats. I always leave her treats every year.

[Ray Mundo]

So how come the other guy gets money and the mailman?

[Morgan]

Because I don't think the treats are.

[Ray Mundo]

Like, sanitary to leave on a trash. The mailman comes every day. The trashman comes once a week. Who do you think deserves a tip more?

[Morgan]

Well, there's also a gift card with the treats.

[Ray Mundo]

There you go. Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

Nothing happened for you to say thank you to?

[Ray Mundo]

No, she changed her story once I busted her shirt.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Mail carriers is another one on here. Especially if you know the person. If it's a consistent person. A gift, which could be treats, or a gift card worth $20 or less because cash cannot be accepted.

[Eddie]

That's nice.

[Lunchbox]

So easy.

[Eddie]

And they come every day like you said.

[Lunchbox]

Dude.

[Eddie]

Good point.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Teachers and coaches.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, my gosh, we're tipping them now too.

[Lunchbox]

You. There's no obligation for you, man. There's no contract you're signing by here.

[Ray Mundo]

I mean, I coach my kids soccer team. I didn't get a tip or get.

[Eddie]

Gifts at the end of the season.

[Lunchbox]

Would you take them?

[Ray Mundo]

Heck, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

A small item or gift card or join with other parents for a larger gift to all come in together.

[Ray Mundo]

I'm gonna send an email out to.

[Lunchbox]

The team saying what going together season.

[Ray Mundo]

Was, you know, ended two months ago. I never got a tip.

[Eddie]

Please do that.

[Lunchbox]

No, but that's not around Christmas.

[Ray Mundo]

I know, but now it's Christmas time. Say, hey, just let you know I'm still accepting those gifts.

[Lunchbox]

Babysitters are pet sitters. A gift or cash equivalent to one night's pay.

[Ray Mundo]

No, no, you already pay them to.

[Eddie]

Do their job and they already charge a lot of money.

[Ray Mundo]

Yes. Like, what are we doing? Tipping extra?

[Morgan]

Because I mean, if it's a. Listen, if you have a baby, you don't have to. You don't have to. But here's the thing. If you have a babysitter that does a good job and you really like and you want to.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we pay her a lot of.

[Morgan]

Money and you're able to do it, then that helps, you know, that's why.

[Ray Mundo]

I pay them when they're there. I'm not gonna pay them for not coming.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

But I always found them.

[Eddie]

We feed them while they're there too.

[Lunchbox]

I always found that if you make people feel like they're wanted.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That when it's borderline, they'll want to come and do a better job for you or want to even come work at all.

[Eddie]

All right, you gonna tip us?

[Lunchbox]

You get paid every day.

[Eddie]

Well, then we pay the babysitter when they babysit. Every day. Every time.

[Lunchbox]

You pay the babysitter a salary though, that they get a check every week from you?

[Eddie]

Well, no, they don't babysit every day.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, but do you work every day?

[Morgan]

Do you give your baby, your babysitter health benefits?

[Ray Mundo]

No, I pay for my health benefits. No one gives them to me.

[Morgan]

Okay, but health benefits, not every company gives opportunity.

[Eddie]

You're right.

[Lunchbox]

No, but they're acting like benefits are something that everybody gets.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

You can't just walk out and be like, I want to pay this much health benefits. No, your company has to pay for a lot of it too.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Did you ever have 401k, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Oh, I don't know. I haven't checked.

Story of the day. This story comes to us from Florida. A 56 year old man is facing 10 years in prison after defrauding the government of $732,000 in disability payments. He worked for the post office in 2009. Said, oh, hurt my back on the job. I can't work anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

2009.

[Ray Mundo]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Okay.

[Ray Mundo]

So for 10 years, he was getting disability payments.

[Lunchbox]

Bad bag.

[Ray Mundo]

And someone said, hey, you might want to look into this. He'd only got $14 in pain meds. They survey surveillance at his house. He was working on a race car, doing yard work. Checked his Facebook. He's weightlifting, going on kayaking trips.

[Lunchbox]

He's trying to rehab. Sounds like trying to rehab you back into the. Yeah. Trying to build back up. Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, if you are obviously ripping off somebody, you should probably hide it.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He shouldn't do it. You shouldn't rip it. But I'm saying, if he's defrauding.

[Morgan]

Right. Go all in.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't publicly be doing squat records, you know. All right, I'm lunchbox.

[Ray Mundo]

That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

I know everybody's headed out. If you're traveling, if you're flying, get to the airport early.

[Lunchbox]

Be safe. Wash your hands after you go through the little detector. You know, also, be nice to people.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy was telling me a story about being at the airport.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And I happened to be sitting where a TSA meeting was going down, and it was tons of people gathered around their manager, and I think they were having their little team meeting for the day. And I just felt so bad because the manager had to make a point to remind everybody, like, hey, some travelers are going to be awful to you today, but don't let them get to you. Just treat them with kindness. Do your job. You know, they're going to be nasty, rude, mean. That is not your problem. Like, it just. I just felt bad that that had to be part of their team meeting, was how to, like, stay calm. Don't let them get under your skin. Just do your job. Because of nasty travelers. And it's so true. They probably have to deal with some of the rudest people, but I love the way that they handled it. And they were all like, yeah, we got you. Like, we're good. And the. The manager even said, you never know why they're traveling, what they're going through. They might be going like, maybe somebody passed away. There might be something hard going on in their life, so just treat them with kindness and grace.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like a good leader.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And also, I'd like to say that to you guys about Facebook.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you never know what those people are doing over there.

[Lunchbox]

What they're going through.

[Bobby Bones]

Just because they're awful doesn't mean you're awful.

[Eddie]

Okay, we'll try.

[Lunchbox]

Have a great holiday. Bye everybody. Merry Christmas and Happy holidays from the Bobby Bones Show.
