The Bobby Bones Show — October 21, 2025

Episode Overview

Main Discussion Topics & Highlights

1. The Price Is Right — Lunchbox’s Hollywood Adventure

• Lunchbox Recaps His Attempt:
  Lunchbox recounts his whirlwind trip to Los Angeles, where despite multiple tries, he didn’t get called up as a contestant on The Price Is Right.
• The Crowd Theory:
  Listener Gail (04:45) calls with an observation: in her experience, people picked for the show are often accompanied by friends or family, possibly for reaction shots. Lunchbox responds, “Yeah, I didn’t notice that. A lot of people that had people with them, they got up there, but I don’t know if it was necessarily big groups” (05:35).
• Impressions of LA:
  Lunchbox shares color commentary about LA traffic and neighborhoods, including a dubious claim of having driven past Mark Wahlberg’s house—later debunked on-air.
  • Memorable Quote:
    “I assume that it’s Wahlberg...it was $32 million. Private security. That’s Wallburg.” (07:07)
  • Bobby’s playful retort:
    “If I’m a celebrity, I’m not putting the letter of my last name on the gate.” (07:56)
• Food and Sights:
  Lunchbox enjoyed a “margarita tour” and delicious Mexican food, highlighting the “hustling and bustling” atmosphere of LA (10:28).
• Wife’s Reaction:
  Lunchbox asks his wife if she’s embarrassed he didn’t make it on the show. She supports him, saying, “You tried your best, so that’s all you can ask for.” (40:03)
• What’s Next?
  Bobby proposes sending another show member (Amy) to LA to try and get on The Price Is Right, sparking debate about fairness and studio dynamics (41:01–44:30).

2. Listener Dilemmas & Advice

• Missing Cash & The Babysitter (13:18):
  “Cassie” writes in about missing money and suspicion falling on her babysitter.
  • Bobby’s advice:
    “Get you a little nanny cam...I can tell you from my experience, it’s always been misplaced, not stolen. But if you really think so, get proof before confronting.” (12:50)
  • Amy’s input:
    “You have to have more of a case built up before you say anything, especially if someone’s been a family friend for a long time.” (13:40)

3. TV Theme Title Game (15:17–21:50)

A “best of seven” contest, Bobby quizzes the team by reading TV theme titles, with lightning reactions and playful confusion:

• “I’ll Be There for You” — Friends

• “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” — Cheers

• “Suicide is Painless” — MAS*H (team struggled on this one)

• “Everywhere You Look” — Full House

• “As Days Go By” — Family Matters

• “I’m No Superman” — Scrubs

• “Second Time Around” — Step by Step

  Lunchbox hilariously guesses “Reading Rainbow” for “Everywhere You Look” (17:34) and, on “Suicide is Painless,” reacts with “What would be about suicide?” (16:25).

Notable Moment

Amy sings theme tunes (to Bobby’s mock annoyance). Bobby ultimately wins the game.

4. Work Refrigerator Debate: Almond Milk Etiquette (33:25–37:10)

Eddie confesses to using unlabeled almond milk from the office fridge.

• Eddie:
  “It’s just almond milk, and it’s not labeled or anything. So I figure that’s just community almond milk.” (33:42)
• Lunchbox:
  “If it’s sitting in there and it’s a big bottle like that, absolutely.” (34:54)
• Amy and Bobby disagree:
  “I don’t think that means community. If you didn’t buy it, don’t use it.” — Amy (34:23)
  Bobby suggests if Eddie used it all, he should buy two: “One you keep using and one that you give back to the refrigerator.” (36:29)
• Resolution:
  Studio manager Scuba Steve clarifies: If it’s in the “community fridge,” it’s fair game; if in a personal fridge, it’s not (36:41).

5. Tell Me Something Good & Boneheads

• Returned Stolen Car (26:34):
  Lunchbox shares a Florida man’s story who stole a car, discovered a baby in the backseat, and returned both immediately. Group debates whether this is “accidental kidnapping.”
• 50-Year Disability Scam (29:02):
  An Italian man pretends to be blind for five decades, collects benefits, is finally caught.
  “That is commitment...That’s too...you can actually go to work and make more money than that in 50 years.” — Bobby (29:12)
• Homeless Chef Helped (49:17):
  Amy’s uplifting story of a man crowdfunded off the streets and on his way back to a chef’s life.

6. Tuesday Reviews Day (51:35–56:50)

• Bobby:
  The Diplomat (Season 3) — 4.5/5 stars, “Season one, great. Season two, even better. Season three, okay. It’s Kerry Russell.” (52:06)
  One Battle at a Time (with DiCaprio) — 4/5, “Creative movie...took it down half a point for being way long—like four and a half hours long.” (53:28)
• Amy:
  Mr. and Mrs. Murders (Hulu) — true crime docuseries, 4 out of 5 “suspicious situations”; Amy nearly runs afoul of spoilers.

7. Other Memorable Moments

• Parenting and Condiments:
  A lighthearted debate on “worst condiment” (37:27). Amy: “Mustard”; Bobby: “That’s the greatest condiment ever made.”
• Open Phones:
  Caller struggles with voting for a friend’s “Toddler of the Year” campaign when she doesn’t think the toddler deserves it (59:32 onwards).
• Easy Trivia Drama:
  Listeners challenge Eddie’s win on a technicality (“easy breezy” vs. “easy peasy”); Bobby stands by the ruling (58:02).
