Transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Welcome to Tuesday's show, Morning Studio.
Eddie
Morning, Bones.
Bobby Bones
If I say meat lifting, what comes to mind?
Amy
Getting some meat and lifting it, like, maybe like a big T bone.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I watched these videos. Speaking of lifting, from this guy named Anatoli, did these ever come across yours where he's like a. His maintenance man or he's the custodian and he's walking around gyms. These guys are powerlifting like crazy. And he's like, oh, I need to wash under this. And they're like, we're in the middle of. It goes, I'll just move it. They're like, you can't lift weight this heavy, and it's massive. And he just. He just picks it up and they're like, what the heck? Because he's a lot smaller than they are, but he's like a professional bodybuilder. He dresses up. You ever see that?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man, you love him.
Amy
Never.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, meat lifting, it's become an issue because it is the most stolen thing.
Amy
Oh, that makes More sense now. Shoplifting meat.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Experts say that millions of dollars every year from supermarkets are lost because of beef, pork, chicken, lobster that people go in and shoplift. Meat is the most shoplifted item in grocery stores. Second is. Don't say vegetables. It's not a food.
Amy
Exactly. Oh, it's not a food. Deodorant.
Bobby Bones
Kinda detergent.
Amy
Oh, detergent. Okay.
Bobby Bones
And number three makes me sad. Baby food. Oh, yeah, I know.
Eddie
Expensive.
Bobby Bones
That's from Food Marketing Institute. Now they say if you get about an hour of sleep more than you're getting now, you can lose a couple pounds from just getting more sleep because your body is actually in a better rhythm. More sleep put your body in a better rhythm. Your hormones are more. And so therefore you're burning calories easier. Researchers found that when we're bombarded with ads for, you know, everything food, lalala, we eat a lot, we also stay up later and. And that's helping us keep on the weight. So don't stay on your phone. You won't see the ads. Phone bad. Ads bad.
Amy
Sleep good.
Bobby Bones
Sleep good. Yes. If you get more than an hour of extra sleep, they say you could lose up to £10 a year. Wow.
Amy
That's okay.
Bobby Bones
That's like I doom scroll every night. I don't call it doom scrolling though.
Amy
Okay, Bobby?
Bobby Bones
I call it happiness scrolling.
Amy
Here's my thing with you when you say that though, that Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Why do you keep saying my name?
Amy
Because you already struggle with sleep and you are smart.
Bobby Bones
That's the only thing that gets me to sleep.
Amy
Stop.
Bobby Bones
I call it habit. I don't call it doom scrolling. I call it happiness scrolling.
Amy
Okay, but still we know that that light in your eyes is messing with.
Bobby Bones
Your circadian rhythm off the blue light or whatever it is I put.
Amy
Scroll doll.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
No, happy scroll.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Oh yeah. Happy scroll.
Bobby Bones
That's from the University of Michigan at, at Ann Arbor. These two co workers, they played the lottery and they won 350 bucks, which is pretty cool. And so their names are Randy in April and they're like, wow. They play the Illinois lottery and they hit for 350 and they went to the store and they're like, wow, look at us. And then actually they took it in. It was $350,000. Whoa.
Amy
Not bad. Not a bad little misunderstanding.
Bobby Bones
Randy initially believed the ticket was worth 350. However, April rechecked it and discovered in the Illinois lottery app they had won $350,000. That's crazy. 350 would be fun.
Ben Higgins
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Like dollars. That'd be fine.
Eddie
It's fine.
Bobby Bones
But 350,000 NBC Chicago with that. And then there's a Colorado guy who got 40 years in prison. He's a funeral homeowner. He was sentenced to all those years for stashing 189 decomposing bodies and giving the families fake ashes. So they call him a monster. They urge the judge to give him the maximum sentence. He apologized, so they're not saying exactly what he did with the bodies.
Amy
Wait, where's this guy at?
Bobby Bones
Colorado.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Amy
Oh, I listen to some podcasts of a guy. I believe maybe he was in Georgia. But this was similar. They were a crematorium. But when authorities got involved and searched the land, they found bodies buried everywhere.
Bobby Bones
So buried is weird because I would think if I were trying to make.
Amy
Extra money, like holes and like, you know, like all multiple people in a hole and then covered up.
Bobby Bones
Whenever I first read the story, I think, is he hooking up with the bodies? But then I don't think that's the case. I think what these people do to make money is they give ashes because how are we supposed to know ashes are ashes? We don't know if it's really our loved ones. And I think they sell the body parts.
Eddie
Oh, like on the Dark Web.
Bobby Bones
Because you can make real money off that. What are you seeing over there?
Amy
Oh, well, I just looked up the name of the podcast is Noble. And yeah, I. It sucked me in because I was like, what in the world is happening?
Lunchbox
I mean, so why were they doing it?
Amy
300 bodies were found uncreated on the property. And, you know, families had thought, yeah, they're. That their loved ones were taken care of with respect and dignity. And no, they were just.
Bobby Bones
But what were they doing with the bodies over there?
Lunchbox
Just dumping them in the woods? Like, I don't.
Bobby Bones
Let's take them to the lake so you don't get caught, you know, Property, like dumping them.
Amy
I mean, it was a large property, 16 acres in Georgia.
Bobby Bones
Why was he burying him in his own.
Amy
Because, like, they. I don't remember exactly. I remember I listened to this a long time ago, but I. I just know that they were not, like, they were a well respected family in town. Like, when people found out about it, they were shook. And I think it just maybe got in my mind. I was like, do they just get overwhelmed? And then they didn't know what to do? Or maybe they couldn't keep up with it, or they didn't want to take the time to burn it? Or did their little Fire thing. Like go out of business, Couldn't afford a new one.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
And then there's lots of things.
Bobby Bones
But there's also the episode of I Love Lucy where she's working on the candy machine and it's all coming through on the wheel and she can't do anymore.
Eddie
She starts eating it.
Bobby Bones
Like it just. It just overwhelms her. That could have been like this.
Eddie
I mean, I did think when we cremated my dad, we got the ashes. And I did think like, wow, it's.
Bobby Bones
Not very many do same. Like that's.
Eddie
I thought it'd be more same cuz.
Bobby Bones
We got my mom and ashes same. It's like in a little bag.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
It's not a lot for a whole body. And I was like, huh?
Bobby Bones
It's different too. If you find out that the funeral home you're using, if they're selling the body versus hooking up with the bodies, Right?
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
That's different, right?
Eddie
Way different.
Bobby Bones
That's a different crime.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like if they're keeping the bot, if they're selling them, you're like, okay, you go to jail for five years, like not nice. If they're hooking up with it, like you gotta go away forever.
Eddie
That's life.
Bobby Bones
Who knows what else. Yeah, there you go. All right, Bones, There's a question to be had.
Lunchbox
Hello, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Bones. I am recently divorced and my ex husband is seeing someone. I had asked, when I asked for divorce, that if he ever wanted to introduce our two toddlers to someone he was seeing, I would like to know about it first. From what I have seen, he hasn't introduced him yet, but I feel like he wants to. Is it wrong for me to want to know if he introduces our children to her? What do you think? Signed divorced in Dallas. You want to go?
Amy
Sure. I don't think it's weird for you to want to know and I think that that's okay to request to know and have a conversation about it. But there's no but I think, I think that's totally okay to request that. And hopefully he would be the type to honor that. I mean, with my ex, we have that agreement. When kids have met somebody that we've dated, there has been a conversation to the other about it of, hey, heads up. I'm thinking about introducing the kids to. And with both of us, it's been some time. Obviously the person has been an important staple in our life. We're not just flippantly introduced.
Bobby Bones
First date intros.
Amy
Correct. Not first date intros, but I mean, my ex has had two girlfriends and both I knew when they were meeting.
Bobby Bones
I guess my but was is that he doesn't have to.
Amy
He does not have to. You are correct.
Bobby Bones
If it's an agreement and you both live by it, unless it's in the court order from the divorce, he doesn't have to. But you can't ask for sure, you should ask, but you can't. If you get angry about it that he doesn't, it's not going to help the relationship.
Amy
No, not at all. Yeah. I can't imagine being in that type of a situation. Although I will say the first relationship that my ex husband was in, it was our first time navigating it and I wasn't in one yet. So there was a lot we had to learn. And so then the second time it came around, which was with me and then later with his second girlfriend. We already had been through it, so we kind of knew how to handle it. But that first time, it's difficult.
Bobby Bones
I would also say it's nice they're toddlers because they're not going to remember anything anyway.
Amy
Yeah, they're going to remember less than the teenage kids. Although my son just last night was like, why did y' all break up? And I'm like, who break up? You and dad? And I'm like, we have talked about this. You know, we've talked about it. And then he was like, what would you do if he asked you out? I was like, what? Okay, well, I have a boyfriend and he has a girlfriend, so that's probably not gonna happen. He's like, well, let's just say I'm like, oh, gosh dang.
Bobby Bones
He's putting.
Amy
Oh, yeah. And I tried to put myself in his shoes. Like, when I was a kid and my parents got divorced, I just wanted nothing but them to get back together. That was my prayer. Like, I don't care what happens. Even though my dad was fully living with somebody else, My mom had never even dated. She would have taken him back, but I just wanted that so badly. And so I understand where he's coming from. So I tried to just tiptoe around it, but. But be straightforward of no. Like, I don't want to give him false hope.
Bobby Bones
You did say no.
Amy
Yeah, in a tiptoe way.
Bobby Bones
I think to the emailer. I think it's fair to say, hey, can we agree on this? Because he's going to want the same from you. But if he says no again, unless it's in a corridor.
Amy
Yeah. And I don't know how y' all communicate, but just, I wouldn't have a demanding tone. I would have a, hey, you know, this is something new we're navigating. If I start dating one day, like, let's talk through this. Like, how do we want to handle this? Something that would help me feel really good is if we, if I had a heads up on things and I can give you that same respect.
Bobby Bones
That's good.
Amy
You know, less demandy, more just calm.
Bobby Bones
Kind, real world advice.
Amy
Which that was through my entire divorce. Our mantra, my ex husband and I, the thoughtful and kind. Thoughtful and kind. And so we had to.
Bobby Bones
When you got into a fight, you just queued up. Tim McGraw. Listen to the song.
Amy
That's humble and kind. Yeah, good point.
Eddie
Halfway there.
Amy
I have a tipping question. So we went to go and look for my wedding dress and she asked me what our budget was. I told her we want to cap it at $2,000. And when we went to pay for it, they asked for a tip. Tips for $20 and we went on our way. Well, we went to pick up the dress eight weeks later and she knew who we were, but she treated us so bad. She ignored her. She was very short with us. She was rude. She set the dress on the counter and then never came back and just expected for us to know that we could just take it. Like, I would love to know your thoughts.
Bobby Bones
Well, whenever you provide someone a dress in a dress store and you're going through sizes and different types of dresses, I think there's a service element there. Now, I'm not sure the protocol on tipping also. Was it just on the screen? Like, there are a lot of questions I have about the tipping part of it. However, I would think if someone was that rude, I wouldn't go back there. I think that's how you punish bad service, as not going back to the same place. So I don't know the tip protocol. And you can go, who tips at a store? I don't know if she makes commission or if she only works on tips and gets a good hourly wage. I don't know. I think that needs to be communicated by the store though. Otherwise how are we supposed to know the protocol of tipping at a place that we don't normally go? Because you don't go there 10 times a year.
Amy
Yeah, you don't shop for a wedding dress more than once or twice.
Bobby Bones
If you enjoyed your dress and you enjoyed the process, maybe I'd go back one more time. But if it was bad again, she.
Amy
Doesn'T need to go back. It's her wedding dress?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Maybe like our daughter homecoming or something later.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Or it's like a New Year's party. I don't know. Okay.
Amy
Okay. Well, yeah, I get it. I get what you're saying now.
Bobby Bones
I would be very unhappy that that happened, though. But also, you don't know what's happening in that girl's life. That is how I try to think about it. Whenever someone gives me bad service, it's quick for me to go, well, that sucks. I think I'm gonna punish them by giving them less money. But also, there's a thing too, where if you tip somebody and they also are keeping your stuff, it's why you don't tip at the beginning of a meal. If a waiter comes and you. Let's say you tipped at the very beginning of the meal and you tip bad, you think they're going to give you the best service? No, of course not. If it's like, hey, leave a tip and then you'll get your dress in three months, I'm probably going to tip pretty good because they have access to my dress. But I can understand why you'd be frustrated at the service. So there's that. I'm having an issue now where I. I cannot bring myself to give these delivery drivers bad reviews when they suck.
Amy
Why is that?
Bobby Bones
Because I feel bad for the same reason they brought food and they left at the end of my driveway by my mailbox the other day.
Amy
Like, they could be having a bad day.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Or.
Bobby Bones
Or they're slammed and they're like, oh, my God, I got to get this one. I don't know. There were like, three instances. They forget my drinks. Oh, they forget my drinks. I'm. I'm like, how do you forget my drinks? And I can't. I still give them five star and I still tip them, like, the 25%, whatever the biggest option is on the app. Even though they suck.
Amy
I would. If I. You would want them to leave it at my mailbox.
Bobby Bones
I don't care about that.
Amy
You don't care about that?
Bobby Bones
We open the gate, they drive in, drop it off the door.
Amy
Oh, you open it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay. I thought you.
Lunchbox
Oh, you thought you gave them a code. Come on.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. Nobody has. No, no, no.
Amy
Okay, okay. That's why I was. That's why I wanted to clarify.
Lunchbox
That's retaliation.
Bobby Bones
I give them all a key. Come on. Everybody that works for Uber eats or doordash. You get a free key to my house. I would just encourage you to Have a little grace on this person because she just could have been having a bad day. What if her grandpa died? That's always what I think.
Amy
So that's how she handles her grandpa dying. Are you gonna tip me?
Bobby Bones
Well, she only said that at the beginning.
Amy
Oh, you mean when they went to pick up the dress? Oh. Cause they're, they're. That's true. Sometimes we can assign the narrative of we know we tipped 20 bucks and so we might think that wasn't enough and so we assign a narrative of like, oh, she's mad about that. But Bobby, you're totally right. On pickup day, she could have been having a terrible day.
Bobby Bones
A lot of grandpa's die in my head. The people who give me crappy service, that's just what I assigned to it. Now if you do it twice, it's gonna be bad. Give me the next voicemail, please.
Amy
I am currently making peanut butter oatmeal.
Bobby Bones
Cookies for my grands. I'm just wondering, do you leave the peanut butter in your refrigerator or the cupboard? I leave mine in the cupboard. Have a great day.
Lunchbox
Bye.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna punt on this over to Amy because I hate peanut butter. My wife does. We have peanut butter at the house and it's always though not in the fridge.
Amy
Yeah, I do both kind of. I just like wherever it ends up sometimes if I've bought the super natural organic, maybe there's not. There's no sugar added and stuff. I put that in the fridge. But if it's the yummy kind pantry.
Bobby Bones
I eat a lot of mustard and a middle amount of ketchup. And that stays in the fridge after it's opened? Yeah, it stays in the fridge before it's opened. It stays in the shelf. Yeah. Then once it's opened, it stays in the fridge. Is that normal?
Amy
Very.
Bobby Bones
Boom. Nailed it. Hey, big announcement.
Lunchbox
Drum roll, please.
Bobby Bones
Close enough. Okay. We are coming back with another cruise in 2027. So the cruise was so successful this year that we haven't had yet, but just selling it because we don't go for a couple weeks. But the Top shelf Country Cruise 2027 is going to happen with Riley Greene. So Riley's going to be the headliner then next year. This year it's going to be Keith Urban, but Riley Green next year, so it's going to be awesome. We're cruising again the Bobby Bones show, hosting another Top shelf country cruise in 2027 produced by Signature Cruise Experiences. So a lot of great shows. Country music everywhere you turn. This one will sell fast and you can register now for pre sale access. Just head to topshelfcountrycruise.com we don't go on ours until two weeks, two and a half weeks or so, right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So we haven't been on it yet, but we're already announcing we're doing one the next year because this one sold so well. So Riley Green will be the headliner. I'm sure there'll be a lot of other acts to announce soon coming up. All right, there we go. Between work, family and everything else, cancer screenings can get put off. But screening is an important way to take control of your health for the people who count on you. Over the years, we've heard from listeners sharing cancer diagnosis stories of loved ones affected, and how early detection made a difference. Detecting cancer early is crucial. Every screening matters, and Pfizer's making it easy to take the first step. Schedule your screenings@pfizerforall.com Screenings sponsored by Pfizer. I'm Bowen Yang. And I'm Matt Rogers. During this season of the Two Guys Five Rings podcast and the lead up to to The Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, we've been joined by some of our friends.
Cody Johnson
Hi, Bon. Hi, Matt.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Elmo.
Lunchbox
Hey, Matt. Hey, Bowen.
Amy
Hi, Cookie.
Ben Higgins
Hi.
Bobby Bones
Now the Winter Olympic Games are underway and we are in Italy to give you experiences from our hearts to your ears. Listen to Two Guys Five Rings on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Lunchbox
Foreign.
Ben Higgins
What do you do when the headlines don't explain what's happening inside of you? I'm Ben Higgins and if you can hear me is where culture meets the soul. A place for real conversation. Each episode I sit down with people from all walks of life, celebrities, thinkers and everyday folks. And we go deeper than the polished story. We talk about what drives us, what shapes us, and what gives us hope. We get honest about the big stuff. Identity when you don't recognize yourself anymore. Loss that changes you purpose when success isn't enough. Peace when your mind won't slow down. Faith when it's complicated. Some guests have answers. Most are still figuring it out. If you've ever felt like there has to be more to the story, this show is for you. Listen to if you can hear me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Bobby Bones
On the Bobby Bones Show. Now Cody Johnson from 1 to 5 give me your best 5 songs. According to you, that's very hard.
Cody Johnson
I think the one song that has impacted My career, the most would be till you can't. Not just because it's. I think it's like six or seven times platinum at this point. Not because it's my highest streaming dollars and all that, but because of the people that have come to me at meet and greets and told me their stories about how this song change their lives in very, very impactful ways. I think that's bigger than money, that's bigger than fame, that's bigger than points on a board. Like, that's bigger than accolades. Like, to know that I went in the studio and created a track that kept somebody from divorcing or committing suicide or going back and getting in touch with their family or apologizing to somebody, like, that's. That means a lot. Because I think at the basis of it, yes, we like to make a comfortable living for our family, but knowing that you impact somebody like that, that means a lot. So, that being said, I would probably choose Deer Rodeo for the second one because it was the most that I'd ever written. Wrote that with Dan Couch, and it was literally my letter to the sport of rodeo because I was so depressed, because I thought, I don't even know if I'm going to make it in the music business, like, let alone go back and chase those dreams that I had when I was a kid. So that's probably the most, like, vulnerable thing I'd ever put on paper to that point. Three would probably be Dirt Cheap just because of how impressive it is that Josh Phillips wrote that song by himself. And it's related to so many people. And it. I had a friend of mine that he works all across the world, and he was in Uganda pushing a grocery cart, and he text me, and I don't remember what time of the night it was for me in Texas, but Dirt Cheap is on the radio in Uganda. I'm like, how cool is that, man? Like, number four and number five, I could easily go with, you know, number one hits.
Bobby Bones
I'm not going to let you out of it, though. You got to give me a four and five.
Cody Johnson
Number four for me would probably be, by your grace, very vulnerable. Me on paper, wrote that 100% myself. And admitting, like, openly, like, the first lines are like, I'm aware of everything that's wrong with me, but still you accept me anyway. And it's like we forget that so much that we all kind of get in this rut of, like, we're not good enough for God, because, well, I smoke or I drink or I cuss or I Do, like, dude read the Bible about the people he hung out with. They were all, like, murderers and thieves, and he. He turned them into apostles. Like, there's hope for us, you know, it's like we forget that. And it's all because of the grace. Like, you can't give someone grace unless they're screwing up, right? So it's like God's grace. It's not his love. It's his grace for forgiving us. And for me, when I wrote that song, it was more for me. Like, I was writing it for me to remind myself of. Like, hey, just day by day, man. Just keep it up. Like, just try to be better today than we were yesterday. And it really gave me a new perspective on life. Number five. I really don't know. I could pick something off this new project I'm doing, but I couldn't tell you.
Bobby Bones
Cop out.
Cody Johnson
Cop out.
Bobby Bones
We don't know it yet. We don't know it yet.
Cody Johnson
Why don't you pick my number five?
Bobby Bones
I mean, you and Carrie, like, that's cool.
Cody Johnson
I will. Yes. Okay. I will say I'm going to love you. Maybe would be number four instead of number five. It's just in that spot of, like, I always wanted to sing with Carrie Underwood. I mean, like, who wouldn't? But the way that song came about would be the better story of I had it. And then they said, no, Travis Denning is going to use it on his record. So it goes back to Travis. It didn't wind up on his record. And so they pitched it to Carrie. Carrie loved it, but said, and I didn't know this. Carrie said, I love it, but it doesn't fit my project. So it goes back into the abyss until I said, I want that song, but I want Carrie on it. And I had no idea that she'd already had it. And so that's why she said yes. She's like, this is the second time this song's come into my life.
Bobby Bones
So. Wow.
Cody Johnson
I mean, that's kind of a meant to be scenario, you know? And she was so gracious to, like, even down to, like, volunteering that. You want me to do some video for your video wall for when you play this live? We're like, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's cool. That what you do, you play on.
Cody Johnson
The video wall, the only track we run. I mean, it's because obviously she's not there, you know? But I mean, she was so awesome to work with. Like, really down to earth. Like, I think people have their vision of rock stars being this big Ego, but, like, there's just. There's no ego. She's just a freaking workhorse, man.
Bobby Bones
When were you able to pay your bills by doing music?
Cody Johnson
My wife, Brandy, she was my fiance at the time. She school doing online classes and some classes at a junior college, and she quit going to school and took two really crappy jobs. Well, I went out and played bars and stayed gone for a month. And I have no clue how she stayed married to me, but she did. And eventually it was the. It was the first year we were going to headline what we call the big tent in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, at Music Fest. And I told her before I left, I said, I want you to quit your job. And she's like, are you serious? I said, yeah, I want you to go with me to Steamboat. Quit your job. Like, I'm making enough now to where we can afford to pay our bills. But that's all we were making, was just enough to pay our bills. So it was kind of another leap of faith. And, you know, really, it wasn't until about 2014, 2015, to where, like, okay, we're getting pretty stable. You know, we're growing our band, we're growing our crew. And in 2017, when I played Houston Rodeo for the first time, that's when the gasoline kind of got thrown on the fire.
Bobby Bones
That had to be awesome.
Cody Johnson
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Tell me about the first time you headline and you played the Houston Rodeo.
Cody Johnson
It was the day after, or it was two days after, like, the worst day of my life. My brother was in a very precarious situation, you know, so I'm in my truck, and I'm in just in tears driving home, and Howie Edelman, my manager, calls and says, hey, we just got the call to replace Old Dominion because they had to bow out for. I think the family member had gotten sick or passed away or something. And I want to know if. Here's what they offered us to headline Houston. And I'm again, I'm in. My heart's broken for the situation I have going on with my family. And I'm crying, and I'm like, yeah, it sounds good. And he's like, I'm going to counter offer him. And I remember having the phone, and I went, why would you counter offer? He's like, because I think you're worth more. And they took the counteroffer, and I said, how many days do we have get. Have to get ready? He said, Two days. And we sold 68,000 tickets in two days.
Bobby Bones
Wow.

You know for sure.

Bobby Bones
And one more.
Amy
I pity the fool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I pity the fool. Okay. That's fun, huh?
Amy
18.
Eddie
Yeah, I like that one.
Bobby Bones
Okay, There you go. I went, oh, wake up. Wake up in the morning's on the box. So you Know, it's.
Eddie
This is.
Bobby Bones
This is the now. Time for the morning Corny.
Lunchbox
The Morning Corny.
Amy
Why do melons get married in church?
Bobby Bones
Why?
Amy
Because they can't elope.
Bobby Bones
There you go. That was the morning Corny. A Tuesday reviews day. I did watch 112263 on Netflix, which is about a guy who tries to go back in time and stop the John F. Kennedy assassination. I forgot I'd already seen the first couple of episodes. The movie this from 10 years ago.
Eddie
Yeah, It's a while back.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. James Franco's in it.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I had seen that. I started watching it and I'm going, man, all this feels familiar. Was I once back in time? I was having those weird moments. It's pretty good. It's Stephen King, something he wrote a long time ago. I give it three and a half out of five. I really wanted it to be better because I love time travel. But I think I wrestled the first two episodes with have I already seen this? And then I realized way back in the day it was on some other platform and I watched it. But, yeah, I give it three and a half out of five suits from the 1960s.
Amy
That's the resurgence, right? Because Netflix picked it up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Thought it was new.
Bobby Bones
I thought it was a new show.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But, yeah, it's pretty good. You what you watch?
Amy
I watched on Netflix the Ghislaine Maxwell Filthy rich documentary from 2022, which when I started watching it, I was like, oh, I definitely watched this probably when it came out three years ago. However, I was paying way more attention this time, and it's crazy to me. So any of that stuff, like. And I think the Epstein one, Filthy Rich, came out maybe a couple years before that. So I haven't gone back to re watch that, but I might now just because I caught on to so many other things that are extremely disturbing. So I give it 4 out of 5 former socialites turned convicted felons. And it's a. I mean, it's really interesting with the four is just that it's like, it's hard to watch some of this stuff and you find it unbelievable. So that's why I take off a little bit. Because how you feel when you're watching.
Bobby Bones
I know. Yeah, it's like Tuesday reviews day. Eddie, did you watch anything?
Eddie
Yes, I watched the Elizabeth Smart documentary. Guys, why did you recommend this documentary?
Bobby Bones
It's really good.
Cody Johnson
It's good.
Eddie
But, man, I was in a terrible mood for the next two days. Like, so sad. Yeah, it's well done. Like, it's well done. If you want to learn about this whole thing. It's a really good documentary for that, but it ruined my weekend, so I'm gonna give it three just because it ruined my weekend. But it's really good.
Bobby Bones
Well, she lives, though. So many of these people live. They don't live, they die.
Eddie
No, no. I know.
Amy
She's here to tell her story, and.
Eddie
It'S the stories and, like, it's sad, all that. And then you think about the parents, like, how do they even, like, live normal? How does she live normal after that?
Bobby Bones
Because she got to live, though.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
I don't think you're effective for two days. I think you're being a little hard.
Eddie
No, I was.
Bobby Bones
Dude, I don't think you are. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
No. No cable or Internet, so I didn't get any of the DVDs out. I got nothing.
Bobby Bones
You still have nothing.
Lunchbox
Nothing. Ivan went to public shaming on Instagram. Didn't work.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you know when people are tagging companies, they're on their. Their last.
Lunchbox
Oh, man, I'm on my last one. I was like, man, I saw a Taylor Lewan who did it on Twitter, and they responded like, we'll expedite your request. I was like, okay, let me go to Instagram. I'll do this.
Eddie
Yeah, he's famous.
Lunchbox
And nothing.
Bobby Bones
No reply. Oh, no heart.
Lunchbox
No, no. They reply like, oh, yeah, they're working on it.
Bobby Bones
So for those who don't know, we lost power for many days because of a massive ice storm. And so now pretty much everyone, if not everyone, has their power back. But Lunchbox still doesn't have Internet or cable.
Lunchbox
Internet or cable. And here's the problem. I use my hotspot to do, like, work on the computer, and it told me I'm out of hotspot memory for the month.
Eddie
Oh, you're done.
Bobby Bones
Then's pretty new still.
Lunchbox
No, no, it resets on the 18th is what it told me. So I'm in trouble.
Amy
Guys, it sounds like you're gonna have to work here and then.
Lunchbox
I know, but how annoying.
Bobby Bones
Change your phone plan to choose your cells.
Eddie
What I do.
Bobby Bones
You know, you don't need a hotspot like a device. You can just use your cell phone.
Amy
I think he's using the hotspot on his phone.
Eddie
No, no, no. He's using the hotspot to connect to his computer or something.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's what you do.
Eddie
No, you can do things on your.
Bobby Bones
Phone, but you can also connect to your phone. I just don't. I don't Have a. I have unlimited data.
Amy
Okay, I'm gonna say something that this is gonna clarify what's going on here. You want him to work on his. Have a Google Doc that we all go into?
Lunchbox
Oh, there's no way.
Amy
Do y' all think he has Google Doc app on his phone?
Eddie
No chance.
Bobby Bones
He doesn't even watch shows on his phone.
Amy
Right. So, like, you want him to go into. Yeah, he. There's no way. He wouldn't be able to turn it in. However, I bet you do have email on your phone. You could just email it to Mike.
Lunchbox
I do do that sometimes. Movie.
Bobby Bones
Mike anything? Yeah, I watched a movie in theaters called Send Help. It's about this woman who hates her boss. They go on a work trip together, plane goes down, and they have to survive on an island together. I saw the preview. I couldn't tell if it was awful or awesome. Yeah, Rachel McAdams is in it. She's really good. If you like horror comedies, I think you'd like it. I give it four out of five islands. Wow. Really?
Amy
Four, huh?
Bobby Bones
It's a.
Amy
It's a scary, like, horror film.
Bobby Bones
Why do you keep saying that word like horror?
Amy
Because I didn't. I thought it was more of just like a cute Rachel McAdams like, romcom. We're on an island, but we're just.
Bobby Bones
Hearing you say horror, not like horror.
Amy
That's how I say horror.
Bobby Bones
Just call it a scary movie. Four out of five, huh? Yeah, it's bloody and funny. Oh, I thought you were calling Rachel McAdam something. I was like, there you go. Tuesday reviews day. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Brevard County, Florida. A 60 year old man and his wife went out to the bar, had a few drinks. He's driving home, clips a sign, car starts smoking, and he's like, man, if I pull over now, they're going to know I've been drinking. Got to make it home. So he keeps driving. Then the car's on fire.
Bobby Bones
He's committed, though. He's got to keep going.
Lunchbox
He's like, if I pull over now, yeah, they're gonna know I'm drinking. Cops respond and they're trying to pull him over. The car is on fire. He's driving down the highway. Finally, it engulfs in flames. He has to pull over and pull his wife from the vehicle.
Bobby Bones
Oh, she was in it too.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Huh.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That would have factored in a lot earlier for me. I understood his logic, but that would have factored in that his wife was in the car.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. All right.
Bobby Bones
Voicemail. Question about Lunchbox's accident. If it's his wife's car and they split finances, but Lunchbox crashed the car. I'm wondering how that all works. So if I could get an explanation, that'd be great. Thank you.
Lunchbox
Well, it's nothing. There's no bill on my part. I was. I didn't wreck the car. Someone wrecked into me, which wrecked the car. So it's all coming from them. Their insurance is going to pay all the bills. They're going to reimburse us money, so there's nothing to worry about. There's not worried about who has to pay for the damages. It's all that person's fault. So there will be no money coming out of my pocket.
Amy
There's no deductible or anything?
Lunchbox
No, you get all that back.
Bobby Bones
But can I meet you with. Well, you have to buy a new car. So it's going to take money to buy the new car?
Lunchbox
Yes, but we're going to get money to buy a new car from that insurance.
Amy
But will it cover the entire new car?
Bobby Bones
Like, it's going to total the car. But then there's been some depreciation on the car, so you're probably not going to get enough to buy a full new car.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I never even thought about that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Complicated.
Lunchbox
I literally just thought, oh, they're giving us money, so there's no bill.
Amy
Well, it sounds like it's on you, though.
Bobby Bones
Well, there can be no bill if you want to buy an older car.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. Then that's what we'll do. We'll buy an older car. That's a good idea. We'll buy an older car.
Eddie
Who pays for insurance on that car?
Lunchbox
Well, we split insurance. Well, we split insurance because usually I used to have a car. So it was like I paid for my car, but with that one, I just pay 50.
Bobby Bones
50. There's too many things to track here with their finances.
Amy
Honestly, it seems it's really easy. I'm sure for some couples it works out really well. But for whatever reason, when he talks about it, I get so confused.
Lunchbox
What do you mean? Insurance? 50. 50. Because we only have one vehicle.
Bobby Bones
It's not hard, but it's her vehicle.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but whenever we go places, I drive using it.
Bobby Bones
And now he's just going to get an old car with the money. Yes, because you're not going to be given the value of your car as if it were new.
Lunchbox
Right. So it won't be a brand new car. I don't think that would be the plan, but I'll have to discuss that. I never thought about that. I literally thought, oh, we'll just buy a new car.
Bobby Bones
You can, but it'll be a lesser car than the one that you just crap. Lost. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
So then we'll have to make payments.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
If you potentially usually. Did you have this car paid off?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's paid off.
Amy
Well, she had it paid off.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Now she has to have a payment.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, this is.
Eddie
That doesn't make sense.
Amy
Now he's confused.
Lunchbox
No, no, I. I didn't realize. I didn't think about we're going to payments. I thought it was going to be over somehow.
Bobby Bones
He just bankrupted himself. He doesn't know how.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm out of money. I'm living on the streets.
Bobby Bones
Give me another one, Ray. Eddie has such a big heart and has the desire to do it, but he's just scared. He wants to. He would love to, but he doesn't have the guts. But he thinks it's really cool and genuinely would like to, but he's just not brave enough to do it. But, yeah, I think fear is just what holds him up. Talking about donating organs, obviously.
Eddie
Sure. I mean, I think it's a guy. This is a guy that understands me a little bit.
Lunchbox
The whole.
Eddie
Not brave enough. I don't think he's got that right. Exactly.
Bobby Bones
But I think the love, all the positive things he's got totally the ones that aren't so positive, he's missing out.
Amy
He's nailed you on that side, on that part.
Eddie
But not brave enough. Too scared. It's not that. It's just not. I don't think right now's the time.
Amy
Well, what if that is the root? I think he's just digging a little deeper to the underlying issue at hand, which is that why are we saying.
Lunchbox
Eddie has a good heart? I mean, you can say whatever you want. I actually go and donate $2 a Petsmart. Where's my big heart?
Amy
Oh, my gosh. You should have gone with it. You donate blood, that's a way bigger deal than petsmart.
Eddie
Because I start thinking, like, all right, what if I give my kidney away? And then like, my son in five years, like, I need a kidney.
Bobby Bones
That's every single person that's ever given a kidney away. They have to have that.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Your son moved to the top of the list.
Bobby Bones
And probably get a better kidney than the one you got earlier. You're just kind of like that car lunch watches rag. I worked hard.
Eddie
Yeah, I worked hard on that.
Amy
Valid point.
Eddie
So I don't know. I mean, I don't think I'm scared. No.
Lunchbox
Then.
Bobby Bones
Then your heart isn't good.
Eddie
No, my heart's good. My heart's there. I'm just a. I just don't know if it's the right time. That's it.
Bobby Bones
The time isn't going to get any better because you're just getting older and less healthy.
Eddie
No, I think I'm getting healthier than the way I used to be. Dude.
Bobby Bones
Much like lunchbox says, car, your body's depreciating daily.
Eddie
That's what's happening to us.
Amy
However he does, he does live a healthier lifestyle than he once did. And you can reverse stuff.
Bobby Bones
Not really. You can just slow it down. Not like the heart. He can slow down any sort of damage to it. He's not reversing to have a 17.
Eddie
Year old's heart because, dude, I lived hard back in the day.
Bobby Bones
No, you didn't. You didn't even live that hard.
Lunchbox
There is such thing as a family voucher program. By donating through this program, you receive up to five vouchers for family members, including children, prioritizing them to receive a living donor kidney if they ever need one.
Bobby Bones
When you donate five vouchers, priority.
Eddie
So are these vouch, like, it's not guaranteed. You just have a voucher like, all right, try one. Doesn't work. That voucher's gone.
Bobby Bones
Huh?
Eddie
The vouchers he's talking about is this like, all right, I got a voucher for.
Bobby Bones
You can give it to any person on the road and they have to give you a kidney?
Eddie
No, like this voucher, Bobby, it brings you to the front of the line to donate to my son.
Bobby Bones
Yes, but then Bobby son goes to the front of the line.
Eddie
But then you die in surgery. Oh, it didn't work. There goes that voucher. I got four left.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
Why are.
Amy
You do have a lot of fear?
Bobby Bones
This is fear.
Amy
This is rooted in fear.
Eddie
Maybe I am. Maybe this caller, spot on.
Bobby Bones
I just think he doesn't really want to do it. I think he just wanted the praise of saying he wanted to do it. He doesn't really want to do it.
Eddie
Why would anyone like, why would I want the praise of like, oh, Eddie's so awesome. What do you mean?
Lunchbox
Why would you want the praise? Everybody wants praise.
Eddie
I really want.
Bobby Bones
That's why we do Things you don't really want to. You think it would be cool if you had the guts and the health and the love in your heart to do it, but you don't.
Eddie
No, it'd be cool to do it. I have the heart and the love.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
I mean, Lunchbox, you're struggling to understand Eddie right now, and I need you to know this is what. Like, we're struggling to understand Eddie, too, but equally, we struggle to understand your car situation.
Eddie
You know, we're complicated people.
Amy
Is that fair? And y' all struggle to understand a lot of stuff about me.
Eddie
Correct.
Bobby Bones
You guys struggle to understand math.
Eddie
That's true. Me and Amy in general.
Bobby Bones
All right, you guys can leave us a voicemail at any time. 877-77. Bobby, Amy saw Lunchbox cut in line at the grocery store.
Amy
Sure did.
Bobby Bones
What happened?
Amy
Well, a woman was in line with her cart, and she decided to leave her cart to go get something. Clearly, she forgot something in the store, and Lunchbox was behind her. So when she left to go get the item, he went in front of her. And I'm not saying what he did was wrong. I'm not saying I would do it, but I was just curious, like, what y' all think about this? Because then she returned, and I think she said something like, oh, yeah, no problem. And he was like, yeah, cool. Like, it almost like they had an exchange about how she was aware he cut.
Bobby Bones
So her basket was still there.
Amy
Yeah, she left her cart there to hold her place. I'm not saying what she did was right. I would never do that either.
Bobby Bones
Let me put myself in the situation. I'm in line.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Somebody has a full buggy. Like, I gotta run and get something. It's not her turn in line, though, right?
Amy
No, there's.
Bobby Bones
There are a few people. Push her cart up in front of me. I would just. I would move up, and I would just push her card up. And then when she got back, as long as she didn't actually miss the register, she's still in front of me, right? What? Yeah, he. I think that's.
Amy
He just. When she. When she disappeared into an aisle, he.
Eddie
Like, went, yeah, guys, I think I would cut, too.
Lunchbox
Yeah, when you leave the line, you lose your spot in line. Like, it's not like, oh, here, just.
Bobby Bones
Well, if that's the case, you would roll a cart completely away, and everybody else would.
Lunchbox
Well, there was no one behind me, so I just went. I wasn't worried about the people behind me. I'm worried about myself. I went around the cart, put myself on the conveyor belt. And a.
Bobby Bones
Well, if it's time to get on the conveyor belt, I agree.
Amy
And I was sort of spying.
Bobby Bones
You said it wasn't time to get on the conveyor belt.
Lunchbox
No, the person in front of me was. The person was still getting checked out. I had to put the little bar so the cashier knew that it was my groceries, and I wasn't going to wait for this lady. I was like, hey, you know what? You snooze, you lose. You got out of line. You lost your spot.
Amy
Okay. I guess because I was spying from another line. So I didn't know what she said to you.
Bobby Bones
What would you have done?
Amy
I would have just stayed.
Bobby Bones
I would have pushed the card up.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, just held herself.
Amy
I would have stayed in my spot.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, me too. As long as the cash register wasn't waiting for her to put her stuff on. Then you go around because you don't want that waiting. Yeah. Otherwise you push it up.
Amy
Right. But also, I'm not gonna do what she did. She didn't even. She didn't. She just walked away. It's not like she was like, hey, do you mind if I go get something?
Bobby Bones
She told me to run. Run real quick.
Lunchbox
Right.
Amy
And I'm probably. I'm probably not going to do that either, but I would. Yeah, but you would. You would ask the people around you.
Bobby Bones
No, I'd just be like, I'll be right back. Forgot something.
Eddie
You just say it out loud.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'll just go like, oh, crap. And I would run off, and then I would grab it.
Eddie
But everyone would know what you're doing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And if I were the person behind, I would just push it up for her to get closer to the line.
Amy
Yeah. He did not do that. And then she said something to him when she got back, but I don't.
Lunchbox
Know what I said. I went around you. She said, oh, okay. And I said, thanks.
Eddie
That's it.
Bobby Bones
Why did you thank her?
Lunchbox
Well, I was just saying, like, she said, oh, okay. And I was like, all right, thanks. Like, I don't know why you had to make a conversation out of it. Like, there was no need to say anything. She knew she got out of line. She knew she was in the wrong. I just wanted to let her know that, hey, it wasn't out of malice. It was just out of, you know, you got out of line. I was doing what was right in this world.
Bobby Bones
Did you learn a new word?
Eddie
Malice?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Tell us.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's a word, isn't it.
Bobby Bones
Word of the day.
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
Of course it's a word you've never heard of.
Lunchbox
Malice.
Eddie
We have.
Bobby Bones
No, we have. We've never heard you use it one time in your whole lifetime on the show.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, maybe I saw Malice at the palace, like, documentary or something recently, and I don't even know if that fits.
Bobby Bones
It does fit. Yeah, it fits.
Lunchbox
See?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Good.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Well, I don't think he did wrong, but I wouldn't have done that.
Amy
Me neither.
Bobby Bones
Just be a little push, just a little buggy.
Amy
He'd look out for him.
Bobby Bones
That's it. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
