3. Super Secret Life-Changing Surprise Reveal

Part 1: The Announcement (12:26–17:00)

• Bobby unveils a long-teased, "life-changing" surprise for a show member.
• Both Lunchbox and Eddie speculate on what it could be (job, car, boat, etc.).
• Lunchbox guesses: voice of a sports team, a car, and more.
• Eddie, joking: “Maybe I’m getting hair.”
• Ultimately, Bobby reveals—it’s for Lunchbox! (16:05)

Part 2: The Reveal—Meeting with High-Profile NFL Doctor (21:22–46:47)

• Guest: Dr. Ethan Kellum, team physician for the Tennessee Titans and USA Basketball.
• The big surprise: A professional diagnosis and consultation for Lunchbox's chronic abdominal/groin pain and a swollen testicle—a condition he’s vented about for nearly a year.

— The Medical Deep-Dive (23:20–32:29)

• Lunchbox relates a year-long saga: Debilitating left-sided pain and a swollen testicle after running, spreading to his belly and groin, affecting parenting and recreation.

• He’s visited dozens of doctors, received conflicting diagnoses (“It’s just gas,” “Try pelvic floor therapy,” “No hernia”), and undergone MRIs, ultrasounds, and physical therapy.

• Dr. Kellum’s Hypothesis: Likely a "sports hernia" (athletic pubalgia)—a soft-tissue/muscle/tendon injury common in athletes that may not always show up on scans. Treatment might involve regenerative medicine (e.g., PRP, stem cells) or surgery only as a last resort.

  • Dr. Kellum (29:00): “I really think that it is that sports hernia... clinical diagnosis. Starts on one side, hurts when cutting, radiates down. Not a lot of guys do this in the country."

• After further questioning, Dr. Kellum suspects a varicocele (a varicose vein in the testicle) for the swelling, explaining it often worsens when standing and can cause discomfort or, rarely, fertility issues.

• Next Steps: In-person examination, imaging review, and likely regenerative therapy.

• Amy gets credit for arranging the surprise via her friend Kat, connecting Dr. Kellum with the show.

— Testosterone Talk & Men's Health Advice (33:01–36:47)

• Eddie (age 47) confesses to low testosterone (“low T”) and exhaustion.
• Dr. Kellum recommends trying diet, weights, sprinting exercises, or medication (enclomiphene) before opting for lifelong testosterone replacement.
  • Dr. Kellum (34:45): “I always encourage guys... try to get their body to do what it’s supposed to do before replacing [testosterone].”

— Stem Cells and Regeneration (39:39–43:57)

• Bobby asks how stem cell treatments work.
• Dr. Kellum explains sources, mechanisms (anti-inflammatory, regenerative), and appropriate application for injuries, recovery, and longevity, especially in professional athletes.
• Amy: “So this helps them repair faster, therefore they’re more valuable.”

4. Listener Call: Life After Prison (54:33–57:38)

• Amber from Tampa calls in, sharing how she listened to the show for years, lost access during a 4-year prison sentence, and credits the show (and Amy’s adoption journey) with helping her through addiction and into 8 years of sobriety.
  • Amber (55:44): “You guys have been a part of, you know, growing up and... some sobriety for me. So I’ve been clean almost eight years now. I just wanted to say thank you for, you know, helping me through that.”
  • Bobby: "Congratulations on getting yourself clean and staying sober. That's a reason to celebrate itself."

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Lunchbox]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to gecko.

[Eddie]

Here we go.

[Lunchbox]

Come on, Bobby.

[Caller Amber]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome to Tuesday's show, morning Studio. Morning couples having drinks, a couple margaritas. And this woman notices something inside the straw. There's a spider in the straw. Listen to this from ABC7LA.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

A couple was out for drinks in San Diego and, yeah, they got more than they ordered. Finding a creepy crawly spider in the straw. And the twist. The woman swapped drinks with her boyfriend moments before he went for that first sip and spotted the spider. Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's so close to her just going and sucking the straw. You know how they say you get like a bunch of bugs in your throat when you sleep or grasshoppers fall in your mouth over a span of a lifetime? Yeah. Is this how some of it happens? Like you just suck a straw in a straw? The spider, they took a video of it. The spider's in the straw. If you didn't look in the straw and you just took a drink, you would have sucked the spider in your throat. That's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Do you sue?

[News Reporter]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Because nothing happened.

[Eddie]

Well, there's a spider in your margarita,

[Bobby Bones]

but if it did, you also wouldn't have known. You would have just ate the spider. Next up, this is Amy's worst nightmare come true. Because Amy always thinks everybody is out for revenge.

[Amy]

Yeah. They would retaliate if you were to tell on them.

[Bobby Bones]

This is from komu. So this is didn't. Pizza guy. Pizza guy comes back. Here you go.

[News Reporter]

Around 7:20pm Wednesday, Fulton Police were called to a private residence after a report that a pizza delivery driver became upset during a delivery and struck someone with his vehicle. The person who was struck alleged that Walton Son became upset over not receiving a tip and hit him with his vehicle. Video footage police obtained from the residence showed Walton son initiating the confrontation by yelling profanities at a witness and victim. The video then showed Walton get into his car and reverse toward the roadway. And the suspect accelerated and struck the victim. The victim said he jumped onto the hood to avoid being further injured.

[Bobby Bones]

Ran him over because you didn't get a tip, just.

[Amy]

Just give the tip.

[Bobby Bones]

Give the tip. We were talking about on my Netflix show, this couple had won $10 million in a slot, and everybody was upset because they didn't tip. And we were like, tip?

[Amy]

Wait, are you supposed to tip on a. A winnings like that?

[Bobby Bones]

Like the.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

The Las Vegas Twitter accounts that were from the city and for, like, the Las Vegas gamblers. They were all like, we can't believe they didn't tip at least $30,000. And I'm like, what?

[Amy]

To who?

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's point was. Yeah, to the person who comes up with the keys.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the guy that opens the machine.

[Lunchbox]

Who.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Mr. Tip. Like, I'll show you my tips, for sure. However, I. Who do you. If you want a slide, who. And they're like, well, the person that brings you drinks. I'm tipping them as it goes. If I'm getting drinks.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you want to tip, tip away. But that. I felt like that was crazy. Like a slot machine, because you're gambling your own money, and then you're expected to tip because most times you're going to lose regardless. It doesn't matter. This person, this pizza guy, they know where your house is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's the scary part, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Nowhere you live.

[Amy]

They know where you live.

[Bobby Bones]

They know where you live. Doctors are urging kids not to try the Benadryl challenge about every three years. This cycles back in.

[Eddie]

What is that?

[Bobby Bones]

CBS News. It's going viral again. This is the little engine that could. This challenge has been around for 20 years.

[Amy]

The Benadryl challenge.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Where you just take a bunch of Benadryl and you hallucinate.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Medical experts say overdosing on Benadryl can cause serious health problems. Rapid heart rate, kidney issues, irregular heartbeat, even death. One Texas hospital says it's treated more than 100 Benadryl overdose cases in the past six months. That's wild. The kids are doing it this much. They're taking a handful. You see it on TikTok. They eat the whole handful. And then just. They're like, oh, smash cut.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I would bet some of them, the ones that are inspiring people to do it, they're not even really doing it.

[Amy]

Oh, they're just, like, acting like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're getting the click. Then Everybody's doing it because they're seeing the clicks.

[Amy]

Yeah. That's serious stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Talk to your kids.

[Amy]

You gotta lock that Benadryl up. Now, even at home, you have a glass.

[Bobby Bones]

A key thing in the glass case. So if you're in a parking lot and somebody comes up to you with a clipboard and is like, would you like to donate to charity? This is one of those stories where someone did that and ended up, like, biting them right in the butt. So a woman gave 20 bucks to a charity worker in a Trader Joe's parking lot from WCVB only to discover the scammer pocketed $5,000 from her account instead.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

She was grocery shopping when the scammer came up taking donations for gun violence victims. So she was like, great. And they were like, we'll take credit card.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's where it gets fishy.

[Bobby Bones]

And so the person grabbed. Took the credit card from her hands, and there was a processing issue. And so when she went back to check, they had got her for five grand. Well, we're gonna end up doing no charity because we think everything's a scam.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But generally, people with a clipboard in a parking lot, if it's not ca. If it's not cash, I would say, don't do it. You know, I can even say, don't do it if it's cash. But for me, if someone's like, hey, I need some help, and I have five bucks, and I give them five bucks, I've given them that five bucks, and I'm just gonna trust they're doing it. But I'm not screwed any further if they don't do what they said they were doing.

[Amy]

Yeah, there was that time that guy showed up at my door, though, with, like, a laminated, you know, outline of all these fruits and vegetables I could buy for less fortunate. And he. This was his transition job from jail to real life, and I had an opportunity to serve the. The malnourished.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. And you chose to. Good for you.

[Amy]

But he's taking credit card.

[Eddie]

And you gave him the credit card.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I did. Yeah.

[Amy]

Sure did. Sure did. Because you said my neighbor Nancy down the road did it.

[Eddie]

Did you know Nancy?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

No, never heard of her.

[Bobby Bones]

If it's people you don't know, give them cash, and then whatever happens, happens. It's like loaning family money if you don't get it back. Well, don't be mad. You just loan family money.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So there's that story. I just want to end with that one.

[Eddie]

I had a guy Come up to me asking for football equipment for in school scammer.

[Bobby Bones]

He wanted football equipment or money for

[Eddie]

money for football equipment for his school. But he looked like he was in his 20s, so I don't know if that was real or not.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the weird one is Vietnam vet. He's like 31 years old. On the side of the road. Got a sign, right?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah,

[Lunchbox]

it's the anonymous inbox. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mountain. Hello, Bobby Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

My husband wants to play in a golf tournament the day of my daughter's second birthday. Since her birthday's on a Saturday, I wanted to take a day trip and go to a huge zoo that's two hours away. He said there's no reason why we have to do that on her birthday and do it a different day. I told him it was selfish. He said it's not selfish because he plays in this tournament every year and they can celebrate their daughter's birthday on a different day. She's only two. Am I overreacting for being upset that he chose golf over his kid? Signed mom of an almost two year old. I'm just going to tell you right now, I'd be murdered. I'm just going to give you this perspective. For me, I would be murdered dead. It doesn't matter because I had this conversation because there was something. Next year on our one year she'll be one next year on her birthday. And I was like, oh, this is next year. My wife's like, are you sure you want to do that? And I was like, she don't remember. Okay. Nope. I don't like gave an eye for a second. I was like, she won't remember. But it's not just about the baby. It's about the family. So I don't think you're overreacting now. I think there could be a compromise. Although I. If I were him, I would say don't even ask for the compromise.

[Amy]

Well, I have question.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me, let me finish.

[Caller Amber]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he could play the golf tournament and they could do something in the evening, birthday related. Make sure it's about the birthday. Do the zoo thing, even the next day. I don't. I wouldn't lean toward compromise. I would lean to him going to have his kid's birthday. That's what I would lean toward. But there is a small compromise there. But that's not my first suggestion. So what were you gonna say?

[Amy]

I had a question about what they. She said about was a birthday Sunday and maybe they Were gonna go to the zoo on Saturday.

[Bobby Bones]

Birthday Saturday.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I wanted to take a day trip and go to the zoo. It's about two hours away.

[Amy]

Okay. So it's actually on her birthday. Okay. See, I thought they were already fudging it by a day. So then I'm like, well, what's the difference if you do it? Judging the weekend before, the weekend after. Yeah, I get that. Y' all be murdered probably.

[Eddie]

I'd be murdered just thinking about it, asking about it. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's one of those asks where it's halfway through. You're like, you know what? I'm gonna retract.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Half of this ask you do, you're not overreacting. No, I don't think so at all. So stand strong. There's a slight compromise if you want to make one, but I don't know, man. It better be like the. His dad memorial golf tournament.

[Lunchbox]

He's gonna play in it.

[Bobby Bones]

Other than that, I don't think that's happening. Somebody's about to super secret surprise. That is life changing. It started, everybody was in the mix. Now there's only two people. It's going to be lunchbox ready.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

This is amazing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, let's go.

[Eddie]

Our life lunchbox is going to be changed.

[Lunchbox]

Right now, my life is one of your lives.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a. You got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

You okay? Let's take a little shot here. What do you think it is?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I've been applying for jobs the last few years with sports teams, trying to be the voice of a sports team. And so Bobby said he could pull some strings to get this to happen. So I think Bobby pulled some strings and I get a one day trial run as being the voice of one of the local sports teams.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I don't think I said I could pull strings.

[Lunchbox]

You said some strings were pulled.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. Okay. I. I don't know that I could pull strings to get you a job somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I think it was like a one day. Like, hey.

[Amy]

Or like maybe he's the. What do they call the understudy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he goes and sits beside him

[Amy]

like in case someone's sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, what do you think it is for you?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. So I thought all these things. Right. But now I'm thinking that I've talked about when I got a passport to go explore Europe and go like to Paris. You talk about how you love.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what Amy says.

[Amy]

It's my dream.

[Bobby Bones]

You've not said that.

[Lunchbox]

I've never said that.

[Eddie]

You're right. I really don't know what it is. Dude, I really have been thinking. I cannot think of anything of how you're going to change my life today.

[Amy]

Does that make you wonder if they even deserve it? Because they're not. They don't even know what they want.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean? I've been. I've had something every day and he can't come up with three things.

[Eddie]

I thought it was going to be a boat. I really thought it'd be a boat.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not going to be a boat.

[Eddie]

It's not a boat.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'll tell you who is going to get the life changing surprise first before you find out what it is. Drumroll, please.

[Eddie]

See you lunch.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not going anywhere.

[Eddie]

See you, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

See? As in you're not getting.

[Eddie]

He's not getting it. Come on.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, there's only one reason he would give it to Eddie. Only one reason.

[Eddie]

What's that one reason?

[Lunchbox]

Because he feels bad for you because

[Amy]

of his low teeth. Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

What did you say? I'm bringing a bucket of teeth.

[Lunchbox]

Like it's a sympathy. Like, oh my gosh. My friend is, you know, feeling down because he has no tea.

[Eddie]

That would be weird. But it. But cool in a way, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Like would you accept it if it was pity?

[Eddie]

Absolutely.

[Lunchbox]

Because that's the only way Eddie's getting it is out of pity and it

[Eddie]

would change my life.

[Amy]

That's true.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't say he was giving you tea. I saying he's gonna give you something. You have low tea.

[Eddie]

Oh no. I think now you're giving me tea in a bottle.

Point at me, point at me.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so first of all, Eddie, it's not you. I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

That's fine.

[Lunchbox]

That is what I'm talking about, boys and girl.

[Bobby Bones]

You haven't guessed at all what it is, man.

[Amy]

Which is why it's so crazy because you, you want. You want this. You've asked for it.

[Bobby Bones]

Walk us through the guesses that you've had so far.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was going to be a casting person from Survivor and you said no. I thought I was going to go drive a Ferrari like on a racetrack or just like a rental for a day. Said no to that. And now I get to be the voice of a sports team. You said no to that, man. So. Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do one of the American Idol things. I'm like. After the break, we'll reveal what it is.

[Eddie]

Question real quick though. Is it for lunchbox or Daniel?

[Amy]

I think both.

[Eddie]

For both.

[Bobby Bones]

For lunchbox and Daniel, what was your thing?

[Amy]

Changing for both.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. What was your thing?

[Lunchbox]

Well, because.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll come back in a second.

[Lunchbox]

No, I guess if it's for me, then it wouldn't be for a family. Oh, my God. It could be for you. You got me a car. Well, holy crap.

[Eddie]

You've been wanting a car.

[Lunchbox]

I have wanted a car. I have wanted a car.

[Eddie]

Because all you have is a bike now.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Amy]

Did you ride your bike this morning?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How would you. How would you get your bike?

[Caller Amber]

Me?

[Lunchbox]

Throw it in the trunk. Or I just leave it up here and my wife could bring me back and I'll ride it home another day.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. The so it is Lunchbox. So first of all, Eddie, I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

That's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. And it is something. It's real. It's not like a joke.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I understand that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Vroom, vroom. You hear that?

[Bobby Bones]

So I heard in the parking garage. We'll actually do the reveal of what it is in just a second. Everybody good?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to Geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Lunchbox]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to gecko.

[Bobby Bones]

Alright, a little bit earlier we announced Lunchbox is getting the super secret surprise. It is Lunchbox. It is Lunchbox's surprise to get. He's had some time to think about it. It's something he' Anything come to mind?

[Geico Gecko]

Car.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. It is not a car.

[Lunchbox]

Dang it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, are we ready?

[Amy]

We're ready.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so let's open the door.

[Eddie]

Open the door.

[Lunchbox]

Bananas. No, you said it wasn't Johnny Bananas.

[Bobby Bones]

The information.

[Eddie]

Is it like a banana? What are you talking about?

[Lunchbox]

Johnny Bananas.

[Eddie]

Oh, oh, you think it's him?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, oh, Johnny Banana.

[Amy]

Close his eyes and have to touch it.

[Eddie]

Touch it.

[Lunchbox]

No, I ain't doing that. We're not doing a snake.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't want to put your hand in a box.

[Lunchbox]

No, we're not doing a snake. I'm not doing a snake.

[Amy]

Again.

[Bobby Bones]

You've never desired a snake.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying. So I'm not, I'm not touching.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not touching random things that could get me in trouble.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I don't even think you need. You have to close your eyes.

[Lunchbox]

All right. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we're gonna bring. Can we get a little music, please?

[Amy]

To bring some, some like walk out music?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Eddie]

Are you rolling something in?

[Lunchbox]

What is it?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, hello. Man, you just hit the button.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

There's only so much music we can play that's free.

[Geico Gecko]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

What does that music have to do with.

[Eddie]

Sounds luxurious.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a wrestling match.

[Lunchbox]

What is this tied to? What it is like, is this like a hint? The music, is it a hint?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's actually not.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, here we go. Come on in. Come on in. Come on in. Have a seat, Doctor.

[Eddie]

What is that?

[Bobby Bones]

Have a seat. That's your microphone right there. We're so happy you're here. Lunchbox. Lunchbox, this is Dr. Ethan Kellum, the NFL Tennessee Titans team physician who has come to check out your testicle.

[Lunchbox]

What up, dude?

[Bobby Bones]

You've been asking for him you wanted to get in with the Titans.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I'm needed.

[Lunchbox]

Well, hold on.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Is that true?

[Lunchbox]

When I Google the Titans, doctor, it doesn't look like there's multiple. There's multiple.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I'm not the head guy. I'm one of their guys.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, what's up, my man?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

How you doing?

[Bobby Bones]

This is Doctor.

[Lunchbox]

It's good to see you. Hold on.

[Bobby Bones]

This is Dr. Ethan Kellum. He is a sports medicine fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon leading the advancement of interventional and regenerative orthopedics in the greater Nashville area. He serves as a team physician for the Titans in the NFL, USA Basketball, and has worked with the Boston Celtics.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa. This dude knows my body.

[Bobby Bones]

He's gonna be able to do it. Has seen some swollen testicles.

[Lunchbox]

Have you ever seen a swollen. Swollen unit?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I have.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's seen many units. Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Let's ask some questions.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. First of all, Dr. Kellen, thank you much for being here.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, thanks for having me.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, we are so excited. We have been talking between us about his issues, stomach and swollen testicle for months. Walk him through what you've been doing.

[Lunchbox]

Sit next to him.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, just for now. I mean, you're good for now.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

So last June, right, I went for a run, probably about three or four mile run. And I got a sharp pain right here on the left side. I mean, debilitating. And I was like, ah, man, it's just a sore muscle. Wait a couple days. Went for another run, and when I got done, I had to get to the bus stop. And it was two houses down. And it took me 30 minutes to walk to the bus stop. Wow. Because I could not move.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's.

[Bobby Bones]

That's okay. Hey, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

You know, it's. I was like, all right, I gotta stop running. But I still played soccer because I could still play soccer. But after the games, it would hurt. But it wasn't, like, debilitating.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And then the pain started spreading across the front, underneath the belly button. Then eventually my left testicle, left tennis ball started getting swollen.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Throughout the day.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Now, has it been swollen before? No. Okay, so that's new.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But then, like, at nighttime, like when I go to sleep, it goes away, but then throughout the day, it comes back. And so I stopped playing soccer altogether. Stop running, thinking, okay, it's gonna heal itself. Well, it still ain't healed, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Doctor.

[Lunchbox]

Doctor.

[Eddie]

Man.

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Kellum.

[Lunchbox]

Dr. Kellum.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Doctor Kellum.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You can call me Ethan.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm gonna call you Dr. Kellum, I'm gonna give respect because I like to be called doctor when I get on a plane too. So I. I don't know what is wrong with me. And I've been to. Let me see 55, 000 doctors, and they all just say, I don't know. Nothing wrong with you. Did an mri, CT scan, I did ultrasound of the. The guys down there twice. I've done it all. And I don't know what's wrong with me. Like, I played a game two weeks ago.

[Bobby Bones]

We should let the doctor talk a little bit. Eventually, when you're good, just.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. I'm trying to go over my diagnosis and like, I played a game a couple weeks ago, and like, in the middle of the game, I could feel the pain in the lower, like underneath the belly button starting to hurt. And after the game, it took me 30 minutes to walk the length of a football field to get to the car and then to get from the street to my house. It took me 14 minutes. And then from my front door to my bed, 25 minutes. I didn't shower. So that's too much pain.

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Kellen, what do you hear when you hear that?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

He's got a lot going on.

[Bobby Bones]

He does.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

A lot going on.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And I mean, as an athlete, it's tough to live this way.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's right. That's right. So it's interesting as I think about what's going on with you in kind of, you know, dissecting and thinking about it so that you're. Let's talk about your abdomen first. Yeah, it's on one side.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Well, I mean, it started on the left side, like, right. Just like right there. Sharp pain. And it was only right there. And then over the months, it would start going across. And I've had a little bit over here, but it's mainly here and across. And then now it sends some signals downstairs and it's just miserable.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So it radiates into your groin. Does it. Does it hurt when you, like, cut or move or things like that?

[Lunchbox]

Sometimes, like, I mean, I can play a soccer game, but then, like, if I go, like, sit out, like, if I take a sub, that's when I can start feeling it. Like, ah, yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You know, one of the things that I'm curious about to see if you have is what they call, like a sports hernia or athletic pubalgia.

[Bobby Bones]

Definitely sounds like a publgia. He's a big pubalgia guy.

[Amy]

Lunchbox. Has any doctor said athletic pubalgia?

[Lunchbox]

No, none. I'll Tell you what the doctors have said. They told me there was my pelvic floor to Google some exercises or YouTube them, but they didn't tell me what exercises to YouTube. So I went to a physical therapy pelvic floor specialist. It's me and the women in there. It's really awkward. And they were like, it's not your pelvic floor. She felt around. She's like, your pelvic floor is legit.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Legit.

[Bobby Bones]

You need to examine him. Like, we can let you guys go to another room if you feel like that's a thing. We won't do it in front of us. I've asked to see his testicle. He's not allowed me to.

[Lunchbox]

I've been to the hernia doctor. They say there's no hernia. I've been to gastroenterologist, I've been to. And my primary care told me probably just gas. I went to a sports medicine doctor that did an mri and I came back. They didn't see anything on the MRI and said, hey, we are here if you need us, but we don't know what it is.

[Amy]

What about the one doctor that wanted you to get a colonoscopy?

[Lunchbox]

And then the. What are they called? Gastroenterologist. They said, oh, yeah, it's not your colon, but I'll give you a colonoscopy on Monday.

[Eddie]

For fun?

[Amy]

Yeah, for fun.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So I really, as I think, as I hear what you're saying to me, I really think that it is that sports hernia that's going on, which is not like your typical hernia, right? It's not this something bulging out into your. Where you can feel and all these things. What happens with a sport hernia is that the, like, you have all those muscles in there, your internal external obliques from all those things that you do that. That soccer that you're playing all the time, you have all those muscles that have this soft tissue that overlies that, right? And sometimes that soft tissue gets pulled and damaged and all that stuff which might not show up on the mri, like what you had see, all right. But it's a. It's a clinical diagnosis. And so it really sounds like you. You have that. It starts on one side. It hurts when you're cutting, radiates down into your growing. Sounds like a sports trainer to me. There's not a lot of guys that do this in the country. The ways that you would treat it, which you've already tried initially, rest, physical therapy, doing anti inflammatories, which you're like hey, it's still hurting, still bothering me. Then you move into the. Some of the things that I do, like PRP stem cells, growth factors, inject in that area, help that. To help that tissue to repair as a possibility. If it goes on for a long time, it really bothers you. Then something like a surgical procedure, which is probably only a couple guys in the country that do those things, they do it laparoscopically, but. But I don't think you have to necessarily go there. I think I would try something regenerative before you do something surgical. But it sounds like it's been going on for a long time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's been going on since June, man, it's been tough. I put on like £10. Pictures are starting to look unflattering. I can't run. You know what I mean? And like, in my kids, I got three boys and they want to like run around and they're like, oh, dad, run your fastest. Yeah, I can't, guys, I can't.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So what would you do with him if you were to start today? Like, what would you do with him?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, so, you know, I would lay on that couch, I review that image. Well, yeah, definitely examine him. Right. Review the imaging.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And then if I say I think this is what's going on, then I would recommend doing something regenerative first and seeing if we get you to a better place.

[Bobby Bones]

Can we send them to you?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh, for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Because I go to physical therapy twice a week, man. Like, we do stretches and we do this and we do strengthening and I mean, they're great. I mean, they're. They're fantastic.

[Bobby Bones]

But I just picture him doing jazzercise, how he talks about it with all the women.

[Lunchbox]

It is. I mean, it's a lot of pregnant women and women that just giving birth that are with me and it's like,

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

yeah, we got to get you out of there.

[Amy]

I guess they're great about. Since lunchbox is an athlete and his wreck soccer. Like, is this something you see in your professional athletes?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Like, yes, something. I've seen professional athletes all the time.

[Amy]

Look at you.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And like I said, the thing about it, there's only a few people in the country that treat it as far as surgically treat it. Well, but like I said, I think this is something that could, with the regenerative means, could be very helpful for you.

[Bobby Bones]

So we'll set up an appointment.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, man, I'm in.

[Amy]

What is an examination entail? Like, what are you going to have to do?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Going to palpate that his belly and all those things. And you're really just ruling out to make sure there's no real hernias that are there or anything else that's going on. But you've had that million dollar workup as far as the 55,000 doctors.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing how many doctors have just sent me on my way. One guy, one urologist told me it was a vein that runs from my hip to my testicle. He goes, just take some Advil before you run. You'll be fine. That didn't work.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. Yeah. So I think that's what's going. I think you have a sports hernia.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

What's the other word you use? Penal.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa, Amy, he said pubic.

[Bobby Bones]

He said tiny pubic area.

[Lunchbox]

He didn't say tiny.

[Amy]

Microscopic.

[Lunchbox]

Microscopic pubic area. No, it didn't say that. Guys, this is my medical. This is going on for almost a year. I know. That's why.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why we set it up.

[Lunchbox]

You didn't change my life. You said you were going to change my life.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to thank Amy. Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Amy. You changed my life. Thank you.

[Amy]

No, you got to thank Kat in there because.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Amy]

It's so funny. Yeah. So, because Luckbox is bad begging for a professional athlete. He was like, I don't care. I need a doctor from the Titans. I need a doctor from the preds. I need a doctor from the soccer team, whatever. Like, anything. And then right after he said that, I'm talking to my friend Kat, and she's like, oh, I gotta go. I'm meeting with my friend, Dr. Kellum. He's with Titans. Like, I have a meeting with him. And I was like. And it was. I get like, you're a professional whole thing. And I was like, hey, so do you mind when you're in that meeting, if you could ask him if he would come on the Bobby Bones show to talk about Lunchbox's swollen testicle?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's exactly what I heard. Wait, what?

[Amy]

And so, thankfully, he was willing to come.

[Bobby Bones]

Another question for you. This guy here in the hoodie has extremely low testosterone. Eddie?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Hey, Doc, how are you?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Hey, Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't like the 200 mid-200s. What would you say to that?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

How old are you?

[Eddie]

47 years old.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Okay, so there's several things to do, right? 47 years old, low testosterone, which comes with a lot of things, Right? This is high energy, lots of stress. I heard you guys were in Austin this past. We were running hard, and then you're back in today, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Hit the ground running.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So your life is super stressful. How is it stressful?

[Eddie]

I have four kids, too.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

Four boys.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

What? Let's go. I have four boys, too.

[Eddie]

You do?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. It's so good. So good. But. But stressful.

[Eddie]

But chaotic.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. Someone's sleep hurt. Dying all the time. So stressful life. Right. Then there's all the things that we eat. Right. The plastics and all that stuff. All of these things have decreased testosterone levels over time. So how do we combat that? At 47 years of age, you have two ways to kind of get that. Clean up all those things. Make sure you're lifting weights and eating well. Right. Those things are super helpful. And then you say, well, do I replace it or do I try to help my body do what it's supposed to do? I always encourage guys at the very beginning to try to get their body to do what it's supposed to do. You can do some things like enclomiphene. You can do some things like hgh. Not hgh, sorry, Human gonadotropin. Releasing something other. But those things will help your testicles to produce more testosterone. Right. Before replacing. Because when you replace it, then you bought it for life. Right. So at 47, you're kind of early, and so maybe doing some of those things that help you get to a much better place. But always the free things we want to do first. Exercise, lifting, weights. Right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

There's a study recently I saw that talked about sprinting. When's the last time you sprint it?

[Eddie]

Two years ago.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Two years ago?

[Eddie]

I guess a year and a half ago.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

The last time I sprinted was yesterday. But the first time. The last time before that would have been like, I don't know, four or five years. Sprinting for us at this age helps increase that testosterone significantly. So there's things, obviously, you can do that once again, are free, but then there's other things you can do. But I always want guys to know before you bite the bullet and have your testosterone replaced, you should look at things to have it. Have your body kind of increase it on its own with taking some things versus having that replacement. Because once you do that replacement, it's hard to go back.

[Eddie]

Doc, what about. What about squats? I did squats over the weekend. Like, does that help?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Squats helps. It does my. So exercising, doing, lifting weights, all those things are super helpful to do that. The hard thing about. As we get older. I'm 49. The hard thing about doing that is that Those weights can be tough on our joints. Right. And so then we have to find a way to manage that. There's some things out there. Isometric exercises are super, super helpful. Not gonna be bad on your joints, but it's actually gonna have. Gonna cause muscle hypertrophy. The more muscle you have, the more testosterone you have. All those things are super helpful, so just keep that in mind as well, too.

[Eddie]

Does it make me less of a man to have lower T than, say, someone in the 500s?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, it does.

[Amy]

Like, Lunchbox has 503, and Eddie has

[Eddie]

285, and he thinks he's, like, a manly man. And I'm. I have boobs.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

He.

[Lunchbox]

He laughed when I tested 503, and he's like, oh, that's so embarrassing. And then he got reality.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So it's very interesting. You only become less of a man if it's really bothering you. Right. Somebody at 200 may not have any effects from it. Someone at 500 could. So it kind of depends.

[Eddie]

Oh, so like, someone like me at 200 could have great libido. Someone at 500 could have no libido.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You could.

[Lunchbox]

Right, but it's highly unlikely.

[Amy]

Valid. Thank you, Eddie, for bringing that up. Eddie gets up every morning fatigued, can barely face the day. He says. So that's what led to us even Bob being like, oh, we should do a low T off. But Eddie swears he's got all these other symptoms, but swears his libido just fine. Is that possible?

[Eddie]

It's crazy.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I mean, it is possible. Very much so. But he definitely has symptoms from low, which is the. Hey, I get up. I'm tired. All those things. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

It seems like that table, there's just deficient testicles or no testicles at all. We got Lunchbox with one, Morgan with none lunchbox. You only have one one hits.

[Lunchbox]

Worked one swollen, and I want to

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

address that one swollen one. I think I know what's going on there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, Address. Go ahead.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So does it feel like a bag of worms?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think there's. Sometimes it feels like there's some worms

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

in there and it comes and goes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And they did an ultrasound on you and nobody said anything?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they did two. I did two different doctors.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Like, was a urologist.

[Lunchbox]

Two urologists.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So that. I mean, I can't come here as an orthopedic surgeon and be like, oh, I think I know what's going on. When you saw two urologists.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Because what I would say was going on with you. What it sounds like is something called a varicocell, which is essentially a vein that's around that testicle. And it. You know, it's like you think about a varicose vein, right? Which you go, oh, those things get large, all those things. And that's exactly, exactly what's happening around the. The vein around that testicle. And it kind of comes and goes sometimes if dull ache, it feels heavy. You know, all those things actually can have a. An appearance where it looks, you know, like there's. Oh, it's going on. So that's what it sounds like. But it's wild that you've seen two urologists and none of them came up with that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Unless you saw them when it was, like, deflated.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it wormy when you saw them?

[Lunchbox]

I think it was because it was middle of the day, so it would have been.

[Amy]

I mean, it's only at night that it calms down.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. When I go to bed, when I

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

lay down, you can imagine that laying down, and then that you don't have this. This. You know, this. When you're standing up, all the blood wants to pool down.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And so you can imagine that it's just gonna sit there if you're standing up. But if you lay down, that blood goes up.

[Amy]

What's the treatment for this?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

It's observational. Unless it's causing symptoms in the way of. Sometimes because that vein is there, you have more heat.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

So now you can be infertile because of it. That testicle could be smaller.

[Amy]

Should it be removed?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Can we observe it? That's observational. We'd like to see it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy]

Can it be donated to science?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

He might. He might want to keep it for as long as he. I mean.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm keeping it. We're good.

[Eddie]

We're.

[Lunchbox]

We're gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey. But if you lose one, your testosterone will be even with Eddie's.

[Lunchbox]

That's true.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

And that's another thing that those. Those things having that can decrease the amount of testosterone.

[Lunchbox]

Boom. I even said that. I said, Guys, 503 maybe, you know, it's only average. Maybe trapped down there.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a question about stem cells. Seems like with the research that's been happening with stem cells, we are learning how beneficial they are in repairing different parts of the body. Is that correct?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That is correct.

[Bobby Bones]

How do I get stem cells like

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

a normal dude, come see me. Yeah, but how do you get them? There are several ways.

[Bobby Bones]

And how do they work?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. So there's two places that you can get stem cells and also growth factors and also exosomes. Stem cells are kind of like the cell that produces a lot of those things. Growth factors come from other places, and then exosomes come from those stem cells and all those things really help to modulate or decrease inflammation in your body. And the places that you can get them from, you can get them from yourself in the form of bone marrow adipose or prp, which comes from the blood. Or you can get them from what we call off the shelf material, which says, okay, we're going to take this healthy mom that had a healthy baby. Right. Doesn't come from either one of them. No aborted children involved in getting any of that material. It comes from leftover amniotic placental umbilical cord that's going to be thrown away. And those things have stem cells and growth factors and exosomes in there. And you can take that material once they process and do all those things and. And then they essentially bottle it. And then someone like me can then use that in your body in the appropriate time and space and all that stuff. And so that's what stem cells. Stem cells are what you use them from for host of things. I started out 10 years ago here in Nashville, Tennessee, using it for musculoskeletal things. I'm an orthopedic surgeon. That's, you know, that's my niche as far as why the Titans use me as is on their staff. But I went from there to going to more like anti aging, longevity things, other chronic diseases. Everything as we get older has inflammation as its base. Right. And in fact, Harvard term coined a term probably five years ago called inflammaging. And so it's all about that. As we get older, we just have more and more inflammation that just doesn't go away. And at some point in time, we can't handle it and then we die. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

That sounds fun.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. And so stem cells, growth factors, exosomes, what they do is they decrease that inflammation, they reset those things for a little bit. It's not a cure or any of those things, but it helps decrease that inflammation. So normally your symptoms from some of those things can be better from that.

[Bobby Bones]

And so does it have to be prescribed? Because we can't go to Walmart and get stem cells.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Can't go to Walmart. Definitely have to come see. See someone like me to do that. Yeah, that's been doing it for a while. And does it appropriately.

[Amy]

Yeah, probably not like a flashing sign on the side of the road.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Somebody does it inappropriately. That's kind of what I like.

[Amy]

Cheap if it sounds too good to be true.

[Bobby Bones]

But they do change lives, right?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

They have in lots of cases and also, you know, they've changed lives. They've changed contracts.

[Bobby Bones]

Right?

[Amy]

What do you mean by contracts as

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

far as like the professional athletes and those things. Longer career.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's wanting a new contract. She thinks if she takes some, she has a new contract.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

She's like, I want. Somebody's gonna get a new contract.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. Oh, so athletes, because they can as they're healthy. Being a professional athlete, like the body just. There's so much. Like a football player has so much damage that's happening. So this helps them repair faster, therefore they're more valuable.

[Lunchbox]

I had a.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Had a guy come in to see me retired guy. And he, he, he talked to me. He said, he goes, when I was. When I was a rookie, you know, play a game on Sunday and it's like being a. In a battle, right? So I had one guy come in on the Monday after all these scratches and stuff like that. I'm looking at him, I was like, man, what happened to you? And I forgot, oh, you played in the game on Sunday.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

But he, he said that he. By Tuesday he could. He was ready to go again. And then it moved to Wednesday. Then it moved to Thursday. He said when it got to Saturday, I knew it was. I knew it was time to hang up my cleats. Doing things like this, as far as once again nutrition, exercising properly, even for them, for all of us. In that case, we can prolong our career by using things that are going to decrease inflammation.

[Amy]

So lunchbox's rec Soccer league could same

[Bobby Bones]

when he knew it was Saturday and

[Amy]

it had been all week, hang up the cleats.

[Lunchbox]

But I haven't got there yet. That's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

You still haven't retired yet?

[Lunchbox]

Still haven't retired. Even when I can't walk to the car, it takes me 30 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're gonna let you. We'll send you to the doctor here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm ready to go.

[Bobby Bones]

And so Dr. Kellum, you'll see him, right?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

I will.

[Bobby Bones]

We won't do the testicle in the room. Would have been my choice of a bit, but. And then.

[Lunchbox]

Are you in network? Let me make sure he's in network.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

We get you squared away.

[Bobby Bones]

We got it. We got it hooked up.

[Amy]

Don't worry about you say you would you say you're gonna palpate. Palpate, Palpate his stomach. Like, what is. Does that just mean press on it?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah. You can't say the word feel, you know, when you're examining somebody. So you have to use big wor. That's a. No, no.

[Amy]

You say, you can't say, I'm just gonna feel your stuff.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

That's a negative.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because what if he's talking about his testicles? That doesn't sound good.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I'd rather him say, I'm gonna feel your testicle than palpate your testicle.

[Lunchbox]

Because if he's.

[Bobby Bones]

It sounds like I want to feel more than a palpate.

[Amy]

Okay, wait, no, I'm, I'm really serious. Like, this is like, you learn this in school or like ethically, like co. Like, yeah. Contract.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Like, yeah. You. You don't want to. That's. I. I can remember. There's lots of stories I could tell you, but. But yeah, you definitely don't say Phil.

[Amy]

I wonder when they had to implement that.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably right after lawsuit. Yeah, probably right after the lawyer. Lawyers in the court. They had a lawyer up.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Amy]

Okay, so you're. You're in a palpate lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Kellum, thank you so much for coming in and helping us. This has been a year long thing. He's tried it all. We've gone through the, the. His story and we thought he was making it up at first, but now he's just been to so many doctors and done so many things that Amy, luckily this fell in her lap with her friend. Making a really significant ask to you and thank you for giving us your time. That is really, it means a lot to us for you coming in. Unless you're gonna go see him.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And can I ask him a question?

[Bobby Bones]

You can go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Just do my stories about how some doctors act like, oh, yeah, you know what I mean?

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

And they just throw up their hands. Does that sound familiar?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

You know, it happens because they think I'm lying.

[Bobby Bones]

We let him answer. You ask him a question and you let him answer.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah, yeah. It's, you know, sometimes when we don't know. Right. And there's times that we don't know, have no idea, like, what do we do? And so, you know, the goal though, for most of us is try to figure it out. And if we don't know, we're going to talk to someone else that may know. And that's usually, you know, how it goes and what we want to see. Like, I may not know the answer, but I'm going to find someone that does because usually someone has seen what's going on with you.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And they just kept sending you to YouTube.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, you ever tell your patients, hey, go look up some exercises on YouTube. You ever tell them that?

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Not usually.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, There he is. Dr. Kellum. Thank you so much. And we, we're looking forward to him. This is great being fixed because we've been hearing about it a lot, so you're saving our life. All right, There he is. Dr. Kell, everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Habit trying to put you through m riding this wig's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. All right,

[Bobby Bones]

over to Amy with the Morning Corny.

[Lunchbox]

The Morning Corny.

[Amy]

What brand of car is the best at yoga, huh? What? Mercedes Benz.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Amy]

Benz got it.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the Morning Corny Tuesday reviews day. I'll go first. I watched Running man with Glenn Powell. It's a Stephen King book Mike told me about. I didn't know that. I like it, but it's, it's really good because not, it's, it's absurd. It's a lot of action, but it's also definitely like, like black mirror type of. This is where society's going. Very much a societal message. Like there's a deep meaning to it, too. I thought it was really good. 4 out of 5. So you take it on different levels. It's kind of goofy, but at the same time, it's really serious. So, yeah, I give it four out of five. You liked it, right? Yeah. Really over the top of fun. Really over the top fun and also, like, sad because that's literally. That's where we're going. Yeah, that's literally. The whole thing's about a guy who.

[Lunchbox]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

He has no money. He lives in a bad part of town. It's very much class distinction, like upper class, lower class. And how wealth, the disparities. So, so much. And so he's like, I got no other option. So I'm gonna go on this reality show and try to run from every. You know, if you make it for a week. A week. 30 days, maybe. 30 days, yeah. If you can last 30 days without them killing you.

[Eddie]

Killing you.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You win.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's very much. That's the message. Like, rich people get richer and they're holding poor people, keeping their foot on their necks.

[Amy]

And then for poor people to make money. It's like a game.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a game to rich people. Did you get that message?

[Eddie]

No, no, no. I saw it as just kind of like. It's kind of a dumb movie, but I like it. Very entertaining.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I got.

[Geico Gecko]

Movie.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because it's a little silly. There's silly parts to it.

[Bobby Bones]

So watch that. And then I watched. I finished the whole season of the Wire because forever, everyone says that is an epic television show. And so I wanted to jump back in. I give it three out of five stars. I think probably 20 years ago, it was four and a half out of five stars. It's. It's so dated. It's only. Okay. If it were to exist today. I don't think I'm gonna go to season two. Like, that's. We had to struggle to finish it.

[Amy]

We gave it a shot.

[Bobby Bones]

Watch the whole thing. All 13 episodes in the first season. It's way too many episodes, too. Nowadays they do eight, and that's enough. Way too many episodes. So I give the Wire three and a half out of five. So. All right, what do you have?

[Amy]

I have no TV shows, no movies. Just books. You know me.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Mike. I watched the Devil Verse. Prada, too. I was worried it was just gonna be a cash grab, but it was. If you love the first one, you'll like this one.

[Amy]

Oh, I can't wait.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a good mix of nostalgia, but they had a reason to make this story. Will you go to theater and watch it?

[Amy]

Good question. I think I'm more like, I can't wait to watch it at home.

[Bobby Bones]

The person that Devil wars produce about. Not the. Not the. Whatever. The young girl. Caitlyn's friend.

[Amy]

Which is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Did you know that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think you told me that. Yeah. It's crazy.

[Eddie]

The young girl character.

[Amy]

Anne Hathaway's character.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That is amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's crazy. No, I know. It's bizarre. It's like two different lines.

[Amy]

Because it's based on that person. Does she get money?

[Bobby Bones]

I never asked about the financials. It's really not.

[Eddie]

That is an interesting question, though.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I never asked about that. Bones, go and talk to Amber, who lives in Tampa. Hey, Amber, you're on the show. Good morning.

[Caller Amber]

Hey, good morning, Bobby Buns. Good morning, studio.

[Lunchbox]

Morning.

[Caller Amber]

How are you? I have been listening to you for so many years. I lived down home in South Florida for a while and listened to you before, you know, you grew. And I listened to Amy adopting her kids and followed that whole story. And for a couple years, I kind of fell off track, went to prison, unfortunately, and then couldn't find you. We had tablets in prison, and I didn't have any way to listen to you. And I was, like, writing, you know, all the time. Can you add this? Can you add this? So my mom finally sent me one of your books in there and got me through and got out. Moved to Tampa, immediately found you had been listening and followed, you know, birth of your baby. And I have two older kids, and we used to work from you taking them to school. And I sent them your picture of the baby. And I was like, look, you got a baby. And, you know, when Amy's daughter just turned 19, I'm like, can you believe she's 19? And it's just you guys have been a part of, you know, growing up and. And some sobriety for me. So I've been clean almost eight years now. And I just wanted to say thank you for, you know, helping me through that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, congratulations on. On getting yourself clean and staying sober. I mean, that's a reason to celebrate itself. So when you were in and you have a tablet, do you not get. Do you get apps or are they limited apps?

[Caller Amber]

They're limited apps, but there was, like, iheartradio, but only, like, certain stations like you. Um, so I was always writing classifications. Hey, you know, there's no profanity. He doesn't curse. It's, you know, family oriented. And so for Four years. I tried and tried, but they never. Like, sometimes I could catch things, you know, here and there about you. Or like, my mom would send magazines if anything was going on, but it was hard. It was hard. So, yeah, I mean, there's stuff you can get, but it's not, you know, everything.

[Bobby Bones]

They childproof that. Huh?

[Lunchbox]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, for lack of.

[Amy]

We had prisoners listen before. Like, maybe it's just dependent on which jail you're at. Because we get letters.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we get letters sometimes. Okay, that's true.

[Amy]

Like, they're incarcerated and they. They still listen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, I don't know. We weren't on. Maybe locally.

[Amy]

Oh, true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.

[Eddie]

We need to get them in prisons. Like, we need to work on this.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's our thing. Prison radio. Yeah.

[Amy]

Prison friendly.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Amber, I'm so happy for you. Like, seriously, thank you for the super, super nice compliment.

[Amy]

And in eight years. That's wonderful.

[Bobby Bones]

Feels like a long time and probably like just yesterday at the same time, right?

[Caller Amber]

Yeah. I can't believe that you have a child, you know, and Amy's daughter is 19. I mean, I watched the video of them coming through the airport. Like, it's just. Where does the time go?

[Bobby Bones]

Where does the time go is right. Well, that is so nice of you. I'm so glad you got through. And we're. We're rooting for you. Sounds like you, you.

[Caller Amber]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Going in a positive direction. So thank you so much and hopefully we'll talk to you again soon. Okay?

[Caller Amber]

Absolutely. Take care, everybody.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

All right, bye.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead Story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from West Palm Beach, Florida. A 20 year old man was working at Taco Bell when three chicks come in. They're like, oh, can we get some cups for water with our meal? Sure. Hands them the cups, they go over and did they get water? Nah, they filled it up with Coke. He starts yelling at them. They yell back at him. He goes, you can't do that. He goes in the back, grabs a gun.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Amy]

Why is it always a gun?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, because there are so many and you can just have them wildly. Like, everybody have one.

[Dr. Ethan Kellum]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they probably get one when they check into work that day. Yeah. Okay.

[Amy]

So he goes.

[Lunchbox]

And he goes, you think you can get coke for free? Bam, bam, bam, bam. Two of them were hit.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, do you think you can get coke for free?

[Eddie]

I mean, you can't do that. You can't ask for water and then get Coke, but it's not his.

[Lunchbox]

Who cares?

[Eddie]

You're not supposed to.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not saying can't. But it's the bam, bam, bam part.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's the problem.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, if you're an employee, you really probably don't say anything. Yeah, that's just kind of a social rule, you know? Do right, and if you see somebody getting coke, you don't go up. I used to work in a restaurant. We see people doing crap all the time. You just go, they're just not a good person. You're really not losing anything. Ah, it sucks. What are you gonna say?

[Amy]

Well, I mean, the punishment just doesn't fit the crime.

[Bobby Bones]

I would agree with that. Yeah, I would definitely agree with that.

[Amy]

It's like, you know, hey, take their cup away from them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think the punishment is, hey, guys, we just saw you get coke from the machine. Don't do that next time, or you're not allowed back.

[Amy]

We'll put your photo up.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you need that money, though, for the restaurant to stay in business. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Voicemail. Yo, has anybody else noticed Daniel is definitely a prom king, and Lunchbox is just Lunchbox. So I think Daniel, prom king, might be a real thing. What do you think about that?

[Lunchbox]

Nope. I think Lunchbox is prom king. And we confirmed it on at the iHeart Festival. One of my classmates was in the audience. Morgan got the ask, and she said, yep, he is prom king. No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

No one's debating it.

[Amy]

Yeah, you know, we definitely know you

[Eddie]

have the crown, Daniel.

[Bobby Bones]

Organic material, that you are prom king. That's it.

[Eddie]

That's confirmed. We know that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's who. The angry Lunchbox or the nice Daniel.

[Lunchbox]

That's who I've been my whole life. It's Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, hit the next one.

[Caller Amber]

I'd like to bring us something up for Lunchbox. Remember when everybody was giving you a hard time and calling you Daniel, and you got so upset you wouldn't even respond to people? Well, you were being very rude about it. And now Eddie has the low T. And now you're teasing him incessantly. I think it's needs to stop, Lunchbox. Think about how you felt, Daniel. Have a good day, everybody. Bye, Daniel.

[Eddie]

It's a good lesson.

[Bobby Bones]

Good lesson for all of us.

[Lunchbox]

I don't give a crap special.

[Bobby Bones]

That's Lunchbox talking.

[Lunchbox]

I don't give a crap.

[Bobby Bones]

What about what's Daniel say?

[Lunchbox]

I don't give a crap.

[Bobby Bones]

Daniel's not here today.

[Lunchbox]

He's never gonna be Here.

[Amy]

I don't know. He shows up.

[Bobby Bones]

He was on Price is Right. Going pretty hard.

[Lunchbox]

He was no. Hey, low T, you be quiet.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. That's lunchbox.

[Eddie]

That is Lunchbox Bucks.

[Lunchbox]

We're done.

[Bobby Bones]
