Bobby Bones
Here we go. Come on, Bobby.
Gia Giudice
Bobby Bones transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bones Show. Let's go. Welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning Studio.
Lunchbox Eddie
Morning.
Bobby Bones
So this woman was doing dental work. She did have a license and they got her cuz she couldn't finish a root canal. I always think though that these people have some sort of education in this more than just YouTube, but. So she's 49 years old. Her name is Anna C. She advertised dental services in a WhatsApp group. I guess you just like a.
Amy
A group of dental care. Like a WhatsApp.
Bobby Bones
A dude saw it was like, yeah, thousand bucks. That's all it's going to take to get this fixed. I'll come in. During the appointment, she allegedly numbed his gums, drilled into his tooth, but stopped midway saying, you got to come back later. Oh my. Oh. She later said she couldn't complete the procedure and gave him a list of dentists. And it says real dentist. So did he know that she wasn't a real dentist? And is he going to get. And then it gets me feeling sad that people have healthcare. So I'm not going to do that right now. That's not where my heart's going to go. I'm still going to go to how crazy this story is. When the man returned to get his 300 deposit back, which he did put down, she said no. That started an argument. So he went to the police. His mouth was still hurting. His mouth was bleeding. They came and investigated. She was not licensed to practice dentistry. She was arrested and charged with unlawful practice of dentistry, aggravated assault, and financial facilitation of criminal activity. All New York Post. So I wonder, he had to know she wasn't a real dentist. Right?
Lunchbox Eddie
I believe I would think so.
Bobby Bones
Okay. She had to have some sort of background in dentistry, maybe as an assistant, maybe just followed a couple dental dentist influencers. Because how do you even get a drill? Yeah. And how do you get the numbing? Because she did that.
Sarah
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then also give the guys deposit back or he's gonna go to the cops. Right.
Lunchbox Eddie
Was it 300?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Let's get back to just give it. Unless she's like spent it on another drill. The whole thing's weird. It's just weird when people are fake doctors. But this has got to be happening everywhere. And yes, that's crazy. And also too, if you are hurting so bad and you have to go to somewhere like this, my heart hurts for you because we do not have good health care in this country and you're having to get that done because you have no other place to go. And if you're her, I need you to prepare better. I need you to finish.
Sarah
I know.
Amy
I wonder, like, is there a mental illness? Is there a name for this, like, where you think you're something? Like, could she really think she's a dentist?
Bobby Bones
I would think that's not the case.
Amy
Or she's like that confident and then she's like, oh, shoot, I actually don't
Sarah
know what I'm doing.
Bobby Bones
I would think even if she didn't know what she was doing, she would have finished anyway. I think like something happened. She got like a text or something. Had to go, you're going to have
Amy
to come back later.
Bobby Bones
I'm assuming this wasn't done in a place also in a dental office. It's probably like in a house or something.
Sarah
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So that sucks for everybody. Maybe not her. Well, maybe she wanted.
Morgan
Just don't. Yeah.
Lunchbox Eddie
What's the check? What's the checking situation for?
Bobby Bones
Like the law?
Lunchbox Eddie
Like, do they go into random dentists and be like, I need to see your license?
Bobby Bones
I don't know about that, but I got a good story that's sort of like that. But I know that I don't check. Like, my dentist could have never said, I don't know. He does a good job. I just go home and I'm like, well, went to the dentist.
Amy
Well, I see like degrees on the wall,
Sarah
guys.
Lunchbox Eddie
No, no, seriously, I thought about this. I'm like, you can easily print that.
Amy
But we don't sure, right?
Bobby Bones
Is that the actual person, Mike? Yeah, that's her. That looks like a real dentist.
Lunchbox Eddie
Does she have a lab coat?
Bobby Bones
Like a. Yeah, she has gloves on and she has a mask on her face and she's wearing gloves. I'm in. I'd go,
Amy
is she board certified?
Bobby Bones
I would think not. She doesn't have the proper licensing.
Lunchbox Eddie
That's what I'm saying.
Amy
I know. Can't you just say I'm board certified?
Morgan
Whoa, it looks real.
Bobby Bones
Operating a dentist without proper licensing charge, aggravated assault, all of that looks real.
Lunchbox Eddie
What's your story?
Bobby Bones
People are going into restaurants acting like that they are health inspectors and just doing tick tock content.
Lunchbox Eddie
No way. And the restaurant just opens their doors and like go see whatever they say.
Amy
Like this is a random inspection.
Bobby Bones
We're here in health inspection. Health inspector lunchbox.
Lunchbox Eddie
You should do that.
Bobby Bones
And then. No, no, no, no, no, no. Because now they're in trouble.
Lunchbox Eddie
Oh, don't do that. Don't do that.
Bobby Bones
But they're doing it just for tick tock views.
Amy
Dang.
Bobby Bones
But if I were running a restaurant because I again, I don't know though, because I'm not sure what the health inspector does. Just like this dentist. Like you just do a couple things you're supposed to do. I'm not going to fight you over it because I don't want to get in trouble. But how about that?
Lunchbox Eddie
Crazy.
Bobby Bones
Another one. NASA has successfully kicked an asteroid off course in an Earth defense test.
Lunchbox Eddie
I saw this. This happened like a few years ago. But they just released the information.
Bobby Bones
That's right. Halaluya.
Amy
So they only release it because it, it worked. They now know that like we're good. Did it take them a few years to like know for sure for sure that it worked?
Bobby Bones
Great question. The DART mission, the double asteroid redirection test successfully changed the path of the asteroid Moonlit Dimorphus. It was coming kind of this way, but they shifted it. The experiment proves a kinetic impact. Smashing a spacecraft into an asteroid could affect its path and its effective strategy to protect Earth. I mean this is a small one, so we hope there are no big ones. But France 24 with that story. I'm big France 24 guy, but subscribe to that. That, that's good to know.
Gia Giudice
They're all good.
Lunchbox Eddie
So there's nothing about sending some oil drillers up there and drilling a hole in it?
Bobby Bones
If so, they wouldn't have told us if so. There's a medical journal story that came out that if you can't sleep and you just take any kind of even a piece of candy and act like it's a sleeping pill, it helps you sleep. Oh, it's very placebo feeling. Ish.
Amy
I like that.
Bobby Bones
But if you need to get more sleep, just imagine a piece of candy has sleepiness effects and take one right before bed. The simple act of taking a quote, sleeping pill, even a phony one, prompts the brain to relax.
Amy
I'm trying this.
Bobby Bones
Studies found that you'll go to sleep about 16 minutes faster and stay asleep 79 minutes longer as you put your mind into a state of thinking. It's taken a sleep aid from the Israel Medical Journal Association.
Amy
I need little decoy pill. What do I do? Maybe I get like a Little mini chocolate chip and swallow it and be like, Xanax wonder works for Viagra.
Morgan
So.
Lunchbox Eddie
So this is to yourself, not to someone else. So you know, 100% like it's just because candy.
Amy
Yes, yes, yes.
Bobby Bones
I bet you it works better if you do it to someone else. If they don't know.
Lunchbox Eddie
That's what I was thinking.
Amy
Oh yeah. Cuz the placebo would be in full effect.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. For the last few months, I've been trying to lose weight. I count my calories, I loosely plan out my meals. But inevitably I, my husband, will come home and upend my plans by taking us all to dinner or preparing a special meal. I'm conflicted because I love that he takes charge of these things from time to time. And I appreciate going out to dinner with the whole family without having to cook or clean the kitchen, but it is not helping my weight loss goals. I don't want to ruin his spontaneity and I don't want to have to miss out on a good meal. How can I get him to cooperate with my weight loss goals without ruining his surprises? Signed, wife. Trying to lose weight. You're not going to like this answer, wife. This is on you.
Amy
So funny. I was just thinking this sounds like a you problem in the nicest way possible.
Bobby Bones
Yep, absolutely. And good for you. If you're trying to make healthier lifestyle choices, great. I love it. I support you, whatever you do. That being said, your husband's doing things for the family. Taking people out to dinner, taking the family out dinner, preparing. It is up to you to maintain a certain discipline if you want the results from that discipline. You can't really use the excuse that your husband's being such a good guy on you not being able to lose the weight that you want to lose. It does make it a bit more difficult. Yes, but this is a you issue. And yes, at times it's a little harder, but this is strictly discipline. You have got to discipline yourself a little more than you originally thought you would have to. I would not in any way discourage the husband from doing anything different because he is trying and he is doing things for the family. Yep, it's a little harder on you. This is a you problem.
Amy
Yeah. I just think when it comes to sacrificing joy for the family, like that's ultimately what would happen. Because you said even you enjoy the spontaneity of like getting the family and going out to dinner, like that's probably a fun thing y' all get to do. And to take away that special moment because lack of discipline or whatever that looks like. And some of that might just be okay. I've got to be prepared. And if it's sponsored, if the spontaneity is the problem, then just have a plan for even the spontaneous moments. Like, you now know this is a thing that could happen. So what can you do to ready yourself for that situation? And also, yeah, like, enjoy those moments. Like, your kids aren't always going to be in the house. You're not going to always have these moments, and you don't want to look back regretting, like, oh, gosh, yeah, we could have had these. Even if it's just like a spontaneous dinner, you don't want to take that away from your family.
Bobby Bones
I would also say this. I've never maintained a really strict either fitness diet plan, whatever, without giving myself a cheat day occasionally, because I need that. Save those for these instances. Yeah.
Amy
And, like, don't.
Bobby Bones
And yeah, they're spontaneous. It's a little different.
Amy
Yeah, But.
Bobby Bones
But. But you don't have to completely, like, jump in.
Amy
No, it doesn't have to be black and white. There can be gray. And look at some of the great. Don't look at it as. Even if. If the word cheat doesn't sit well with you, which some people I get. But look at it as like, okay, this is my. This is my joy moment with my family. Like, this is where I'm gonna soak it up. Because I don't have the same storyline or situation as this listener. But I do know, like, food was my dad's love language. And I know so many times because I didn't want to eat what he was whipping up because I thought it was too fattening or this or that. Like, I missed out. And now that my dad's gone, like, not to be Debbie Downer, but that's one of my things of, like, I prioritized something over the joy with my dad and my family. And I. That I prioritize, like, okay, that one meal wouldn't have hurt me or that one meal once a month with my family wouldn't have hurt me at all. And I think the joy would have done more for my body than the stress around what I created around those dinners.
Bobby Bones
Well, and food aside, if you want to reach a goal, you're gonna have to be very disciplined. You just have to be more disciplined.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And your husband's not doing anything wrong. He's. That's actually pretty awesome. Yep. It's harder on you. That sucks. But, you know, it Also sucks. Trying to lose weight. That sucks.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So good luck. I hate to not have to agree with the listener and like, what do I do? How do I fix this? You have to just fix you. Or just don't lose weight anyway. No, I don't know.
Amy
Yeah, we don't know what's up.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, that's not. That's. That's a. That's a you problem. So you could also, you could also do. Before you go out and you know, I'm surprise dinner. We're going out somewhere. Fill up real quick on all the good stuff at home. Generally not hungry when you get there.
Lunchbox Eddie
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Like, those are, like, practical things that I would do, but that's just me being crazy. Thank you for the email. You can do this. We. We believe in you. You can do this. All right, close it up. Two Tick tock trends. I love right now. One is, it's somebody who used to be famous in the 90s. And the caption is, dad, what were you like in the 90s? Or mom, what were you like in the 90s? And then it's like Cameron Diaz and it smashes back to all the pictures from the 90s. Or have you guys seen those?
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah, Darius Rucker. I saw that one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I watch all those, like that non stop. Another one that I get is like TV shows, like what they look like then. And then like the AI version sits down next to them, and if the one has wings, it means they died. You ever see that one?
Lunchbox Eddie
Oh, no, I've seen that one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So sometimes they get on and they're like, you know, Urkel, Jillia White, age 12. And then Urkel now sits down. But then it could be somebody else from that show. And then it's like they sit down with angel wings on. It's like, die. I watch all those too. And the music on it is always forever young. I wanna be non stop. Yeah, I can't get enough of those. And then there's another one that I want to play you guys. This is one of those where my wife had to go, hey, will you stop shaking the bed? Because I was laughing so hard. It'll be girls, women. And they'll be sitting there and they'll have their phone up in front of them and nobody knows it's recording. They'll be sitting next to their boyfriend or their husband and they'll ask permission to their boyfriend or husband if they can keep eating.
Sarah
Yeah.
Gia Giudice
Yes.
Lunchbox Eddie
I haven't seen this one.
Amy
Oh, my gosh, they're so Funny.
Bobby Bones
They're so funny. Because they don't. And the guy's like, what are you talking about? So this is Maddie. Goats. There's not a 20 second clip. She's got a plate of food in front of her. Go ahead.
Amy
I'm about to finish this half of the sandwich. Am I allowed to have the other half?
Bobby Bones
Of course.
Morgan
Wait, why are you asking him if
Bobby Bones
you can eat food?
Amy
Yeah, like, no. I don't know. He always just like, wants to monitor just like what I order, what I get.
Bobby Bones
Why would you.
Morgan
That's not true.
Bobby Bones
You're gonna give her like some kind of issue or something. Why? I'm fine. She knows how to eat. You make your own decisions when you eat.
Amy
Would you mind if I had a cinnamon roll for dessert?
Bobby Bones
Just eat Ola Cin rolls.
Gia Giudice
No, I'm asking for permission.
Lunchbox Eddie
That's hilarious.
Bobby Bones
The funniest part was like, it's her and her dude boyfriend and their family, but her brother's also there. And after she asked for the cimmerel, the brother goes, you are getting a little thick. Like just throws it in. And she, she like catches a strain. Those, those are what I'm watching now. And then occasionally Amy will message me. I can't say, go to bed, Amy. If it's like noon when she messaged me these crazy stuff. But she sent me one that was like, billionaires are building underground bunkers for end of the world.
Lunchbox Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Amy
Well, yeah, there's the bunkers, but then there's some like legit bunker retreat. Like a whole thing like there where it's similar to. Would this be a spoiler?
Bobby Bones
I don't think anymore, Mike. Right. The show.
Jay Shetty
I don't think.
Amy
Okay, so think Paradise. It's like that. It's not just like your personal bunker below your home. It's like a whole town somewhere.
Sarah
And they're.
Amy
They're all invited. Bobby was like, yeah, you probably won't get in. I was like, cool, thanks.
Lunchbox Eddie
It's being real.
Bobby Bones
I was like, hey, net worth ain't high enough. But do. Do you think that that's really happening? That they're building entire towns?
Amy
What I sent you seemed like a
Bobby Bones
credible claim because all we had the clip of all the billionaires that are building bunkers.
Amy
Yeah, they're personal ones now, this particular town. And then I also saw this thing. This is clearly my algorithm right now, like in Switzerland. It's like, I haven't fact checked this, but required.
Bobby Bones
Oh God, yeah.
Amy
To have like a bunker for everybody. I'm like, how thoughtful.
Lunchbox Eddie
The country does.
Sarah
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, it's like.
Lunchbox Eddie
And we're all allowed.
Bobby Bones
It's like a car seat. When you leave the hospital, you gotta have that. Yes. Every family has to have a bunker in their backyard. Where they don't.
Amy
It's like there's. There's like bunker communities and like, there's a, like a little room or locker for everybody.
Bobby Bones
I have fact checked you.
Sarah
Oh.
Bobby Bones
So Switzerland has enough nuclear bunkers and fallout shelters to accommodate its entire population. The unique system stemming from cold war era laws mandates that every resident has a protected space in a shelter. You're right.
Morgan
See?
Amy
And I was like, wow, I'm starting
Bobby Bones
to think the Internet's always right.
Amy
Well, no, no, no, no, no, you can't. That's why I even prefaced it with like. Okay, before I say this, I haven't fact checked it, but I do think what I was watching seemed to be a credible source.
Bobby Bones
But.
Amy
Yeah, you never know these days. But it was basically saying that Switzerland's like, not only are they the most neutral in the world, they're the safest.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I. I do get into my algorithm, people that are building their own bunkers. They, you know, get a backhoe or whatever.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Dig a hole and then drop one of those containers. Yeah. And do that building.
Lunchbox Eddie
Is that real?
Amy
Yes.
Sarah
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No, I mean, it's real. It's not AI, but there's a guy
Lunchbox Eddie
building it and he's in fast speed, and by the time he's done, I'm like, that's the most beautiful thing I was seeing.
Bobby Bones
Well, the fast speed is sped up.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You're not going to watch it real time, but yeah.
Lunchbox Eddie
Bones.

Welcome to Dirty Rush, the Truth About
Gia Giudice
Sorority Life, the Good, the Bad and the Sisterhood with your hosts, me, Gia Giudice, Daisy Kent and Jennifer Kessler. Rush the recruitment, the ritual, the reality of Greek life has been a mystery for those outside the sorority circles until now.
Amy
Is it really a supportive sisterhood that simply misunderstood? Or is there something more scandalous happening on campuses across the country? In this podcast, we pledge to peel back the layers and spell the truth one Greek letter at a time. Pledges and actives, Rush chairs and ritual keepers.
Gia Giudice
Some call it the best time of their life, while others say it's a nightmare. From a perfect rush to recruitment scandals, what is really going on behind the doors of those sorority houses? From Alpha to Omega, we're taking you inside Sorority Row, including the chapter room, as we explore the fellowship and the frenemies.

Gia Giudice
Hi, I'm Danielle Robe, host of Bookmarked the Podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week we are talking about a monster. Or maybe the woman who refused to be one. I'm sitting down with Maggie Gyllenhaal to unpack her new film the Bride. And trust me, this Isn't your grandmother's Bride of Frankenstein? It's darker, smarter, sexier, a full reimagining of what happens when the monster gets a voice of her own. What I was more interested in was the monstrousness inside of each of us. You can spend your life running from those things or you can turn around and shake hands with them. If I'm honest about that, and I tell my story about monsters, really dealing in something truthful, and I do it in a way that's pop, that's hot, that's like getting on a roller coaster. Will people respond? Listen to bookmarked the Reese's Book Club podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Bobby Bones
It's a Bobby Bones show interview, in case you didn't know. Gonna Talk with Danica McKellar, who was Winnie Cooper on the show the Wonder Years. When A couple weeks ago, we talked about our childhood crushes. She was in my top three. So if you watch the Wonder Years, that show was amazing for that time. But not only was she Winnie Cooper, she's also a mathematician, she's also a New York Times best selling author. And we talked about how she got the part in the Wonder Years and how she was never meant to be a main character. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.
Gia Giudice
Danica McKellar,
Bobby Bones
how did you get into acting?
Sarah
My mom asked me if I wanted to be an actress. I was like, what is that? She goes, well, it's when you pretend to be somebody you're not. I'm like, interesting. And I remember for about a year, apparently I, my muscle was about a year later that I said, I want to try it. My sister and I started taking acting classes in LA when I think I was seven, started doing little plays, then we got an agent, and then we started doing commercials. My mom had a rule. She said acting is just a hobby. No series, no movies out of town, nothing I wouldn't let you watch. You know, she had a lot of rules. Well, the part of Winnie Cooper on the Wonder Years was supposed to just be a guest role on the pilot episode. That's why I was the even allowed to audition for it. And that's why I even had a shot. Because let's face it, I mean, major PrimeTime series on ABC, like a newbie actress, there's no way. But it was a small part on the pilot. I mean, it was significant, but small. Like not that many days of work really. And I got the job. And then midway through shooting the Producers said, we want to offer Danica a series contract. And my mom was really conflicted about it. I was like, please, please, please, please. And so she got me this fancy lawyer with a loophole because it's a seven year contract. Imagine your 12 year old into a seven year contract. That's something that's.
Bobby Bones
You were 12 at this time. Got it.
Sarah
And so she got me this lawyer with a. There's a loophole this way. Wouldn't be sued for millions of dollars a week. She's like, anytime you want to get out, Daddy, just say the word, I will pull you. But of course, I never did.
Bobby Bones
Did you feel famous as.
Sarah
No, not at all. I had no idea. I think it was in our fourth or fifth season. Somebody on set asked me how. What it was like to be America's sweetheart. And I was like, what?
Amy
What are you talking about?
Sarah
I was so busy going to school. I went to Harvard Westlake School in Los Angeles, which is a private prep school. And so I was going back between school and set, and I was very busy with that. I never went to Hollywood parties. I didn't. I didn't even go to the Emmys. That first year that we were nominated.
Bobby Bones
Did you feel the success of the show grow?
Sarah
I mean, I was vaguely. You know, when you're a kid, whatever you're going through, you kind of think is normal. So I didn't have that perspective on it until after. In fact, when I went to. When I got to ucla, the show had ended within a few months of me graduating from high school. And when I went to ucla, I remember thinking, okay, all right, well, that's done. So we're all going to move on now. And of course, everywhere I went on campus, everyone was like, oh, Winnie Cooper, where's Kevin? I'm like, what? Aren't you that girl from the Wonder Years? Aren't you that girl from that show? I joined a sorority because I just needed to get away from, like, everybody just, like, recognizing me all the time. And I wanted to find out who I was. It's been such a great journey, and I. I feel like I got so lucky to avoid the pitfalls of child stardom that happens so often to kids who. And I understand why it happens. You're so well known for this one character at a time in your life when you're trying to figure out who you are and what your value is.
Bobby Bones
You.
Sarah
You don't know, like, who would I be if I didn't have this character that everyone loves so much? Or I didn't have that show.
Bobby Bones
Do you get creepy guys that come up and go, you childhood crush, Just randomly?
Sarah
Yeah, but I wouldn't say creepy.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I feel like any guy just saying that randomly would be creepy. So maybe the guy's not creepy. Do you feel like that's creepy if a guy just comes up and goes, hi, you don't know me, but you're my childhood crush?
Sarah
No, it happens all the time. And people are like, it's amazing. I got. I got to be part of their childhood. And I know the people that we admire when we're kids have a different place in our heart. It's different. We get star struck out over those people, for sure.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Sarah
A question I used to always get asked, but I haven't in a while now. But was that really your first kiss on the first episode?
Bobby Bones
I felt like that'd be creepy to ask as an adult to another adult,
Sarah
but it was my first kiss on camera. On camera. But the one that you see was the sixth take, and the reason I know. And that was the final take, and the reason I know that is because it was the only one where he started stroking my hair afterwards then.
Bobby Bones
Can I ask you a weird question?
Gia Giudice
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Were you guys ever boyfriend, girlfriend as kids?
Sarah
No, but we had a crossing each other, and I actually have a letter, a love letter that Fred wrote me from the first. After we did the pilot.
Bobby Bones
Then why were you never boyfriend, girlfriend?
Gia Giudice
I don't know.
Sarah
Because we showed up to set and then next thing I know, he's like, here, pull my finger. It's just different. It was brother and sister pretty quickly
Bobby Bones
talking with Danica McKellar, mathematician, but Winnie Cooper from the show the Wonder Years, and she was on season 18 of Dancing with the Stars. She finished sixth place with Val, and we talked about that and how she broke a rib during the show. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.
Gia Giudice
Danica McKellar.
Bobby Bones
We were both on Dancing with the Stars.
Sarah
Yes, we were.
Bobby Bones
How did you.
Sarah
I did not win.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Well, I. I usually don't flex, but I did. But I don't care about me. I want to know how you felt about the whole experience.
Sarah
It was. I liken it to childbirth. The most physically demanding thing that I'd ever done, except that instead of 36 hours, which is my childbirth experience, labor, it was three months. So, I mean, it was thrilling and it was awesome. It was terrifying. I always felt like I was just barely gonna make it, but maybe not quite one week. I actually did forget the choreography. You can't Quite tell. I just look a little bit sloppy because, like, I remember what the moves were for, like, not when to do them. It was. It was weird. So my. I was wearing these gloves. It was this week seven. They were mesh, and they got caught in Val's finger. And so he had to, like, turn me with the other hand. And it just. I mean, I'm not a professional dancer. So I was like, what? It was like asking a non actor to improv. Suddenly when something happens on stage, like, I'm not prepared to know how to do that. And that was the year that. I mean, that was the week that my rib had been broken. And so it was like a very challenging experience. But I thought if I could survive that, going, oh, my gosh, I don't know my choreography, and I'm on national telev television with 20 million people watching, then it teaches you to be tough. It teaches you that you are tough. It teaches you resilience. You have to figure out what you're made of. You know, are you gonna stick it out? Because it's live. There's no. There's no back door to leave out of.
Bobby Bones
And nobody else can do it for you.
Sarah
Nobody else can do it for you, and nobody can. I mean, your coaches are there to help you. But the toughness aspect of it was just very new for me, and it was a wonderful message that I get to, like, hear for myself that I can handle tough things.
Bobby Bones
You hurt your rib.
Sarah
I did. I broke my rib.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Was that on the show that you broke it?
Sarah
Y. So in week three, there was a move where Val was to throw me up. I was to spin 360, and he would catch me. In the end, we ended up doing a 180. And I kind of wish that we decided to do that sooner rather than later because we rehearsed that 360 again and again and again. And I would never. I would just be kind of off balance, and so this side would come down first. And it was feeling sore. It was bruised. I was like, you know what? That's what dancers do. They tough it out after that performance. You know how the body hangs on until the performance is done. It started hurting so badly. I was like, what is going on? Went to the doctor. They said, well, it's not fractured, but just be careful. Put like a rib brace on it. Okay, great. Next week was the switch up week, which we did back then. I'm not sure if you did.
Bobby Bones
No, we didn't do switch up.
Sarah
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Who did you switch up with?
Sarah
Max Val's brother. And so it was. It was a jive, but it was fine. And I wore the brace the whole time. Week five was my Beauty and the Beast number. The Quick Step wore the brace, and in week seven, Val was like, you know, are you ready for. Do you think you're ready for tricks again? I'm like, yeah, sure. And it was just that thing where you do a somersault and you grab onto the waist and the other person does a somersault. We just started to try that, and we both heard the crack. So my rib was just holding on all those weeks, but it couldn't actually handle any pressure and the pain that flooded through my body. I think I just went to the doctor. And anyway, they're like, yeah, it's broken, and. But you can't put a cast on a rib. So they just would give me, like, a steroid patch. And. And I kept going. So I danced week seven and week eight with a broken rib, and week eight is when I got bloated off bones.
Bobby Bones
Let's jump back into this topic. Eddie bought some stuff for the cruise. Some he wore, some he didn't. But he wants to take it all back.
Amy
Like, some of this stuff he didn't wear.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, some shirts wasn't some stuff he did wear.
Lunchbox Eddie
Oh, I wore a couple. So there's a total of three shirts. I wore three. Two of them, and I did not wear one of them. So one of them still has a tag and the stickers and everything. So I don't feel bad about that one. Obviously, I can return that one. But the. I mean, why not just return. I'm not gonna wear. These are like Hawaiian cruise wear. I'm not gonna wear that again.
Amy
You're like, Mr. I love the beach guy, you'll wear them again.
Lunchbox Eddie
Correct. But these were a little big on me, you know, so I didn't really. They were a little too fluffy. I really didn't like it. So I'm thinking I'm turn them all back.
Bobby Bones
If you wore it, you can't take it back.
Lunchbox Eddie
Dude, I wore it once on the boat.
Morgan
Yeah. It's not like he was sweating and, you know, wearing.
Amy
Even wearing it once it's in your arms. Ew.
Lunchbox Eddie
So you can never. You guys never take any clothes back
Amy
if we've worn it.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
To me, like, my integrity would not allow me if I've used something to take it back, because I used it. I paid for it. I used it. I wouldn't take it back. I may give it away to somebody, but I wouldn't take it if I didn't wear it had a tag on it. Take it back.
Lunchbox Eddie
What? Have you, like, bought a shirt? You wear it out, and everyone's like, oh, that shirt's ugly, dude. That doesn't fit good on you. Like, no, that. That's not a good shirt. I think that you have the right to go back and be like, I don't want it. I'm not satisfied with this shirt.
Amy
I wore this, and I got no compliments. People said it was ugly. I mean, I guess you could be honest with the store, and they might be like, okay, we'll take it back.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox Eddie
What do you think?
Bobby Bones
Okay, I think there's a difference on, will they take it back versus should you?
Gia Giudice
Yes.
Amy
I think that if you want to take back the one with the tags and then take the other ones and say, hey, full disclosure, I wore these, but they're a little big. I'm, like, not totally satisfied. Then they may give you. And they might be like, well, you wore it. Sorry, our policies. We can't. Or they might take it back.
Morgan
I wouldn't go honest route. I'd just be like, I.
Bobby Bones
You know, hey. He wouldn't chase the honest route.
Morgan
I would go more like, I tried this on. I took the tags off, and then I was looking at it and didn't really fit right. Boom.
Lunchbox Eddie
Don't say I wore it out.
Bobby Bones
So not even. Don't go honest lie.
Morgan
Yeah. I mean, it's like I was saying
Bobby Bones
it didn't fit right. It's a lie.
Morgan
I wore shoes to a wedding, and I cleaned them and took them back, and they were like, oh, did you wear these? And they looked at the bottom and they could tell I wore them. I was like, yeah, but they just didn't fit right. They gave me my money back, but
Bobby Bones
I think you'll get it back. Are you okay with yourself if you do that?
Morgan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Because if you are, like, what would
Amy
you teach your kids to do?
Lunchbox Eddie
Well, my kids don't have to know about this.
Amy
But what I'm saying, what if they came to you and said, dad, hey, what would you teach them to do?
Lunchbox Eddie
Guys, that's tough. Why are you putting that on me?
Bobby Bones
Do you believe, as a parent, though, there are some things you can do that your kids never need to know?
Lunchbox Eddie
Absolutely.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox Eddie
For sure. Let me talk about that.
Amy
Yeah, but that's an easy way to check yourself of, like, okay, what example do I want to be for my kids? Like, lunchbox is probably, like, no problem. I teach my kids to do this. But I don't think you would.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Morgan
What.
Lunchbox Eddie
What.
Morgan
What is wrong with.
Bobby Bones
Would you teach your kids that? Wear something. Take it back.
Morgan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
Do you.
Bobby Bones
Would you teach yours?
Morgan
If it doesn't fit right?
Bobby Bones
That's not the thing. It does fit right. No, no, no. That's not the same. No.
Lunchbox Eddie
Like, it said large, but it was really big.
Bobby Bones
What?
Jay Shetty
You could.
Bobby Bones
They'll probably take it all back, but if it were me, I would take the one with the tag back and I wore the other ones. Because you could have tried it on with the tag and you chose not to do that.
Lunchbox Eddie
I didn't. Yeah. I just grabbed it off the rack.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Just update us on what you do and just know.
Amy
Yeah, that's on you.
Bobby Bones
Just know. Jesus knows.
Lunchbox Eddie
Okay. You got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Because everybody else may not know.
Lunchbox Eddie
That's a tough decision, guys.
Amy
Is it, though?
Lunchbox Eddie
It is. It is. Because I'm saving, like, so much money.
Amy
Oh, my gosh. Where did you shop?
Lunchbox Eddie
It's Target.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Did you go to Gucci?
Lunchbox Eddie
No, it's Target. But these. This clothes add up if you're still
Bobby Bones
hurting from daylight savings time. Some quick things here. Think of daylight savings time as jet lag. It's not losing sleep. It. It's. I don't know. That one's stupid, because I don't think enough people fly with jet lag. Give your body a few days to catch up. Okay. We're doing that. We can have no choice.
Morgan
Yeah. We can't.
Bobby Bones
That's nothing we can even do.
Amy
Is one of them. Talk positively to yourself about it.
Bobby Bones
Didn't make it. No. Make sure you get outside, preferably in the sunshine to help combat some of the effects of time change, like foggy thinking, feeling moody, and, of course, being tired. Getting some exercise and going to bed earlier for a week can help sleep if you can, and pay attention to what you eat. This is just normal stuff.
Sarah
Yeah.
Amy
Let me tell you what I've been doing.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
I'm saying my body is handling this time change with ease.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you're just saying stuff.
Amy
Yes. Like, I. This. I feel great. My body isn't impacted by this at all. It's crazy. Like, I just talk to myself like that.
Lunchbox Eddie
Does that work?
Bobby Bones
So far, so nice. Amy has a skill of hearing random sounds and identifying random sounds. For example. Play the example, please. What's that sound?
Amy
I hear two things.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Amy
I go, oh, no. I feel. I feel like I hear a forklift backing up or. Or a kitchen timer.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's a microwave.
Amy
Yeah, Microwave in the kitchen.
Bobby Bones
Tough Example. Sarah's on. Hey, Sarah.

Bobby Bones
Would you like to hear it one more time?
Amy
But it is an intense brewing.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead. Too intensive a brew. Less. Not enough intensity for popcorn. Hit it again. Answer.
Amy

Amy
No, I wasn't.

Listener Caller
Yes, I am.
Bobby Bones
Amy went seven for seven. You get a prize. Congratulations. Thank you. Crap from the bag, which is an assortment of lots of prizes that we have up here in the building. So we will mail that to you. So thank you for listening, Sarah. Hope you have a great rest of the day.
Listener Caller
Thank you. You guys are wonderful. Thank you for what you do. I appreciate it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, thank you. Don't hang up. Because if you hang up, then you don't get a prize. Stay on the phone.
Listener Caller
Okay, you got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, now time for the morning corny.
Morgan
The morning corny.
Amy
What do you call it when a police cow spies on another cow? A stakeout.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That was the morning corny. Tuesday reviews day. I got a couple. I watched Hijacked. I finished it. It's Idris Elba. Apple tv Season one, he's on a plane that gets hijacked. Season two, he's the hijacker. Don't ask me, man. I finished it. I give it a three and a half out of five trains. My wife and I, we were watching it and we finished. We were like, you know what? We wouldn't go back in time and erase that for our memories. But we give a take. We're fine. It's fine. It was bad at first and it got good and then it was pretty good. Three and a half out of five is pretty good. Anybody else finish it? Yeah, I finish it. What do you give it? I also give it three and a half out of five. I think the ending, the person was better. The first one was awesome. And then they were just like. The first one did so good. We have to figure out a way. Let's make him the hijacker.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So it's worth watching if there's nothing else on. And that's going to lead me to my second thing that I watch. But I also know Morgan watched it too, so I'd like her review of War Machine.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Gia Giudice
This is with the guy from Reacher. That's who. How I see him.
Bobby Bones
He's. This guy's massive.
Amy
He's huge.
Lunchbox Eddie
Is he Reacher?
Amy
Yeah, he's Reacher.
Gia Giudice
He's.
Amy
He was also State.
Gia Giudice
Yeah, he was that main guy. And I really enjoyed War Machine.
Amy
It was gruesome.
Gia Giudice
There was moments where I kind of
Amy
had to look away. But it was one of those that
Gia Giudice
I really enjoyed a good action movie. And, you know, it, like, entertained me the whole time. So I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 giant machines.
Bobby Bones
So War Machines on Netflix and it's the latest movie that was up, that was like, just Joined. I don't like it. Joined A Gym, like, just joined that.
Lunchbox Eddie
Just added.
Heather Dubreu
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Mike, did you watch War Machine? Yeah, Yeah, I did. You go. I didn't really like it. Same look. It was so corny to start with. I knew exactly where it was going. And then they throw in this other element. I'm like, that was not good. I wanted to watch it because I just needed something to fill time. I don't know. I could have played with the dogs or something. It was fine if it was just pure action and stupidity. It's. I give it three out of. So I'm not going to totally pee on it. So three out of five combat, folks. I give it two out of five tanks. Tanks is good.
Amy
Dang.
Bobby Bones
I. I have high expectations for him.
Gia Giudice
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
For aliens. It had all the things I like.
Jay Shetty
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Military fighting and aliens and then big dudes. And then we still got it, too, from. I gave it three.
Amy
Oh, you gave it three. Oh, Mike gave it to.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Did you watch anything?
Amy
Yes. I finished Bridgerton, so they released the first half at the end of January and the second half at the end of February. So I finally completed it. It's season four, and I It four out of five recital dances. And also, this is not giving anything away. I only stumbled across this because I.
Bobby Bones
Famous last words, guys. Readers.
Amy
No, no, no, don't. This is. You don't want to miss this. So when the credits started rolling, I was doing other stuff, so I just. Normally I would just turn it off and move on, but I let it roll.
Sarah
Let it roll.
Amy
There's, like, bonus footage after the credits, and I had no idea.
Bobby Bones
Let it roll.
Amy
So that's okay.
Bobby Bones
You don't love that FGL song.
Sarah
Yes.
Bobby Bones
We just let it roll.
Morgan
Lunchbox Season four, the Traitors. Oh, my gosh, what a great season.
Bobby Bones
I don't watch the show and I even know how it ended. That's how kind of big it was. Like, it's how it popped, the ending.
Morgan
I mean, I. Luckily I was on the cruise, so I had no idea how it ended, and I was able to not be spoiled. It was a fantastic season.
Bobby Bones
So. Man, I sound like Smash Mouth.
Lunchbox Eddie
So,
Bobby Bones
again, it was such a pop culture moment that even I know how it ended. I never watched the show, so I don't know that me saying anything would spoil it.
Morgan
Oh, I knew.
Lunchbox Eddie
So.
Morgan
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Because you don't even.
Bobby Bones
I don't know who those people are. I know. Did. Okay.
Morgan
I know because they're not on your Radar. Those. Those people would not be on your.
Bobby Bones
Are they.
Morgan
There are people.
Bobby Bones
No, the last two.
Morgan
I'm not gonna say.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you can't even say.
Morgan
I can't say where they're.
Bobby Bones
Got it. Okay. Never mind. Do you know. Okay. Okay. Something happened post. Do you know how much a barking bag costs? I found out, like, low end 20
Morgan
grand according to Housewives. A low end 10 grand, but that's probably used.
Bobby Bones
Hey, why you don't. Why don't.
Morgan
I'm just showing you. I watched a reunion and that's what the.
Bobby Bones
You're not gonna get one ten year. Amy, back me up here. I'm gon a ten grand Birkin new.
Amy
No, not if you can land a leather appointment.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox Eddie
And that's a purse.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And you have to have an appointment to. Maybe that's the sh.
Bobby Bones
Song you have to be.
Morgan
Baby wants a Birkin. How's it go?
Bobby Bones
Not like that, but we get it.
Amy
Baby want a Birkin.
Morgan
But, man, I. I'll give it four and a half lies out of five.
Bobby Bones
Morgan, anything else?
Morgan
So good.
Amy
I did also watch the rest of Bridgerton and I really enjoyed it.
Gia Giudice
I was a hater, honestly, of the first half before it finished because it very much reminded me of Cinderella s vibes, but they finished it well and it bumped it back up to a four out of five for me, too.
Bobby Bones
Baby wants a book.
Lunchbox Eddie
Baby wants a Birkin. She's been living all night long.
Amy
Gasoline and groceries.
Lunchbox Eddie
Okay, so we've been on a cruise, right?
Bobby Bones
Is that. Wait, is that.
Amy
Groceries are expensive.
Bobby Bones
If you gotta, like, pick one. A Birkin. Gas or groceries. I think the Birkin's third, right?
Amy
I think that's his point. He's like, it. Life's expensive, but he wants to make her happy.
Bobby Bones
This nine to five ain't working.
Lunchbox Eddie
And I work so hard.
Bobby Bones
I can't worry about my. If she wants a Birkin and you have. You have gas and grocery problems. I think I'm gonna get a new girl.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Eddie, Sorry to interrupt.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah, yeah. So we've been on this cruise, right? So I'm back home, I'm scrolling the tv, and I see Poop Cruise. Click on it on Netflix.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So you watch it post cruise.
Lunchbox Eddie
Post cruise.
Bobby Bones
Good thing, man.
Lunchbox Eddie
I watch Poop Cruise. That story is crazy.
Bobby Bones
I think you can tell the story without it being a spoiler. So the story name also tells the story without it being the spoiler.
Lunchbox Eddie
The story is there was a big fire on a cruise and it destroyed the power, like all the power lines that Were in the cruise. Were completely burning the fire. So this cruise is floating in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. Just no power, floating, waiting for multiple days. And guess what? The toilets flood. Stuff goes crazy on there. People start fighting. It is a crazy story. I loved it. It's short one hour on Netflix. I give it four flooded toilets out of five.
Bobby Bones
Nice.
Morgan
Oh, so there is just. Oh, that's disgusting.
Lunchbox Eddie
And then at one point, they're like, you know what? Just open the bar. Open bar to everyone.
Morgan
No way. That's a bad idea.
Bobby Bones
Red cards, red car, blue cards.
Amy
I don't think it matters at that point.
Bobby Bones
Bobby Bone show.
Listener Caller
Bonehead story of the day.
Morgan
This story comes to us from Pennsylvania. A man was sitting in his house around 6 o' clock when he saw a spider. He's like, man, I gotta get rid of that spider. So he gets a piece of paper, lights it on fire and holds it towards this spider. Spider runs onto the love seat. So the guy sticks the piece of paper on the love seat.
Sarah
Boom.
Morgan
Loveseat goes up in flames. House goes up in flames.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Morgan
Neighbor's house goes up in flames.
Lunchbox Eddie
The whole neighborhood.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
You know, I was hating on the story until he chased it further into the loveseat. That's where it all went wrong. Because I think you shouldn't use fire. But I'm not saying I'd be too good for fire in that situation. But when the spider goes and modifies its path sometimes, and this is a lesson for everybody, you also have to modify yours. So then it just becomes pull the cushions and try to, like, beat it with a shoe or something.
Sarah
Yeah.
Amy
And I think a lot of furniture is flammable.
Bobby Bones
Flammable. Something else I learned as a kid. You can't start a fire beating something with a shoe.
Lunchbox Eddie
It's true.
Bobby Bones
It's a hard lesson to learn, but I learned it. Okay.
Morgan
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
Voicemails. Hit it.
Listener Caller
I was in Key west last weekend. We were celebrating my husband's 70th birthday. We were not on the cruise, but the ship was in port. And we were in the gift shops when Lunchbox was buying his sunglasses. I heard a voice that was super familiar. And I turned around and I'm like, lunchbox. And he turned around like, you know, who's that? And I said, I love you. You're funny on the show. Couldn't have been nicer. Enjoy the show.
Lunchbox Eddie
Love you.
Listener Caller
Bye.
Bobby Bones
Wasn't on the cruise. Ran into Lunchbox.
Morgan
Huh? I thought she was on the cruise. When I talked to her, I just assumed she was on the boat and that she just saw me and wanted a picture. That's pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
What if she would have said, I'm not on the cruise?
Morgan
That's okay. I just. I just thought she was on the group.
Sarah
Okay.
Bobby Bones
No picture.
Sarah
I didn't know.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know if it was different if she wasn't on the cruise. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy.
Morgan
Yeah. So she saw my sunglasses and everything.
Bobby Bones
Man, we lost them though, right?
Morgan
Yeah, they're gone.
Bobby Bones
They lasted three days on the creek or whatever.
Morgan
I'm gonna tell you what, that ocean, it'll eat your sunglasses quick because they fall off your face. They're gone. I mean, you can look down immediately. Nowhere to be found, buried in the sand.
Amy
And they bring it back up to somebody later because doesn't it.
Bobby Bones
Does everything wash ashore?
Lunchbox Eddie
Pretty much.
Bobby Bones
I feel like sunglasses, bodies, drugs.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah, man, they do.
Bobby Bones
All right, next one.
Listener Caller
I just want to shout out to everyone. It was such a great trip. Lunchbox and Morgan were amazing and they should go for a whole week next year and maybe add Abby. That might be a good dynamic, but as you can see, this is the first day I could talk.
Sarah
Thanks, everyone. We love you.
Listener Caller
Such a great cruise.
Bobby Bones
All right, thank you. I would love for Abby to get to go next year. I think she deserves to go next year. Raymundo was a last minute addition and he stayed seven days. I do again. I. If you guys liked going all seven days. Lunchbox and Ray, I can try to push for that again. But the original schedule was gonna be three that overlapped with somebody. Three that overlapped with three. So that way somebody from the show was always on and then we could still do this show. But if you guys want to stay all seven.
Morgan
Hey, if I'm cruising, I'm all seven.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
I mean, I don't want to. I don't want to have half a week.
Listener Caller
That's.
Lunchbox Eddie
That's.
Morgan
That's barely getting into the cruise. Like you're starting to get the feel for it, understand where things are, and then you're off the boat. No, not me.
Bobby Bones
All right, there you go. Not him.
Listener Caller
All right, next up, morning Studio was hoping for more content from the cruise today. Didn't get a lot. Hope for more tomorrow. Thanks much.
Lunchbox Eddie
Oh, boy. We talked a lot about the cruise.
Bobby Bones
I feel like we've been cruising for weeks at this point also. Well, if you're listening to this, it's on the podcast, but definitely way more on the podcast as well, but a lot of our. I would say 99% of our listeners didn't go on the cruise, so we don't spend a whole lot of the show unless it's just something so funny talking about something that most people can't be a part of or understand. But we do, for sure, on the podcast. But I'm sorry, we haven't met your cruise quota of content. Next one.
Listener Caller
I was just listening to the Friday podcast with Easy Trivia, and I gotta say, I am very much enjoying this new season of Easy Trivia because Eddie's not winning all the time, and it's making me giggle. And I just wanted to say that it's just so fun to watch somebody else shine for once on Easy Trivia. So thank you so much. Have a great day. Bye.
Bobby Bones
Welcome to being the New England Patriots.
Morgan
I get it.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah. I remember Tom Brady when he was winning all the time. He'd lose, be like, yeah, that's awesome.
Amy
But, like, what happened?
Lunchbox Eddie
What do you mean?
Amy
Well, like.
Bobby Bones
Well, Morgan won a whole one. What happened to you?
Morgan
I don't understand how you. You lost, too.
Amy
I know, but we were close. Like, we were four and four.
Bobby Bones
But you didn't win.
Amy
I know.
Lunchbox Eddie
I think we were all four and four.
Morgan
Eddie had four also.
Amy
Okay, I'll question what happened to me as well. But, like, Eddie, like, what really fell?
Lunchbox Eddie
No, you just can't win them all.
Bobby Bones
Eddie had the trophy. Who's won the tiara and then lost the championship. Like, that happens sometimes.
Amy
I know that happens.
Bobby Bones
Why is his more dynamic?
Amy
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bobby Bones
You brought it up.
Amy
This was not meant to be, like, a crazy attack. I just didn't know if, like, why
Bobby Bones
do you now suck so bad?
Amy
That's not how I say it. It's not how I said it. I said, eddie, what happened?
Heather Dubreu
It's very funny.
Morgan
He's undefeated.
Lunchbox Eddie
I lost.
Bobby Bones
He's lost everyone's life.
Amy
I know, but he's missing. Like, it's, like, weird.
Morgan
Oh, my goodness.
Amy
I'm just wondering if everything's okay.
Lunchbox Eddie
Everything's great, Amy.
Bobby Bones
She's hating one more. You can also now do animal cpr, at least for dogs and cats. I work at Emergency Specialty hospital in Washington, D.C. and we do the exact same movements and count time as you do in baby medicine, as you do
Listener Caller
with your cats and dogs.
Bobby Bones
That's great to know.
Lunchbox Eddie
That is good to know.
Bobby Bones
That's great to know.
Amy
Thumbs.
Lunchbox Eddie
Is that thumbs?
Amy
Probably thumbs.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
On a little squirrel.
Bobby Bones
I think I just let squirrel go. If it's not my squirrel, I Think the squirrel.
Amy
Have you ever seen a squirrel with the oxygen mask, though?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, those are cute.
Sarah
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But I'm probably letting squirrel. I love an animal. You know what gets me in the arms of an angel. I'm sorry. Letting squirrel go. Probably. Yeah. Voicemail us up. 8, 7, 7, 7. Bobby. A lot of people went on the cruise with our show. We're so grateful we're doing it again next year. Topshelfcountrycruise.com Next year we'll be able to stay longer for sure. We have Lisa, who's on the phone now in Florida. Hey, Lisa, you're on the show. Good morning.
Listener Caller
I'd like to say that that was the best vacation of my life. And that was. I've been on a lot of cr. Been on a lot of vacations, and it was right up there. They had a spectacular time, especially at Boozy Bingo. All the shows. Morgan and Lunchbox both hosted Boozy bingo. Too funny, Morgan. They had to bring her a chair out because everybody just kept feeding her shots and chug, chug, chug. And we were there with another couple, and my girlfriend actually won the jackpot. The $2900. The last game, a bingo. So that was cool. A bingo. Yeah. My girlfriend sue, and then Morgan was supposed to meet us for shots at the casino after sue was cheating, but nobody could find Morgan. Lunchbox was texting her, calling her. We think she passed out in her cabin. We don't know.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, probable Morgan.
Gia Giudice
I was upstairs in the cafeteria eating french fries with chocolate. There's some video proof of that. So that's where I was. That's why nobody could find me.
Bobby Bones
Were you trying not.
Listener Caller
I was eating french fries also.
Bobby Bones
Were you trying not to be found or were you unable to find yourself at that point?
Morgan
I was unable.
Gia Giudice
Unable to find myself at that point.
Amy
So I did have a handler with
Gia Giudice
me, making sure I was eating and stuff because everybody was feeding me a whole lot of shots.
Bobby Bones
Did you guys find that when on a cruise, the alcohol did hit different, like, because of the sea, because of the way it. Or is it just you drink? Drink more like that was Amy's thing on night one?
Morgan
I think you just drink more because you don't realize what time it is you're going. It's just like a fun atmosphere. And you're like, oh, you walk by a bar. That bar looks cool. Let me try that one. Oh, that has an ice, like, bar.
Amy
Oh, the ice bar was.
Morgan
That was so cool.
Amy
Very neat.
Morgan
Like, it keeps your drink cold and it feels Cool. Oh, let me sit there for a while. Then you have two drinks. Like, let walk over here. You're just on. There's no clocks. It's amazing.
Amy
Yeah, you're right. There's no clocks. How we made it places on time. I mean, obviously we have our phones,
Bobby Bones
but there's a clock in your pocket.
Amy
I know.
Bobby Bones
You weren't allowed to see the time. Like, they were keeping it from you. Like you're in Guantanamo.
Amy
Yeah, true. I don't know.
Lunchbox Eddie
It makes for a really good excuse, though, like when you're drunk, like, oh, it must be the water for sure.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
It's something.
Bobby Bones
Lisa, any chance you come back next year?
Listener Caller
Oh, yes, absolutely. Absolutely. I just want to, you know, see, I would like to go to different places is. But it's kind of like the same place. But they did throw Cozumel in there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I think we start in a different place. Tampa.
Morgan
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Which is easier for us.
Lunchbox Eddie
It's a good start.
Amy
Oh, as opposed to Fort Lauderdale.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And then we go to Cozumel, which I. Mexican. I've never been to Mexico.
Amy
Oh, well. So this is a different route.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah. Bimini first, then Key west, then Cozumel.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah, we had in Cozumel this time.
Bobby Bones
Oh, is that what it is?
Heather Dubreu
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I have no idea. I don't know. I went to key. I went to Key west in Fort Lauderdale.
Lunchbox Eddie
You did?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. All right, Lisa, if you decide you need a change up for next year and you don't want to come, that's still awesome. But we would love to have you back, and I'm glad you had a good time. Thank you for calling and sharing.
Listener Caller
Thank you. Have a good day.
Bobby Bones
All right, see you later. Let's go over and talk to Michelle in Minnesota. Michelle, you're on the show.
Listener Caller
Hey, morning, studio.
Morgan
Morning.
Listener Caller
I just had to say I had a phenomenal time on the cruise with you guys. Eddie, I was the one that had the Cowboys jersey on at the wine tasting and was supporting you and Lunchbox and Morgan. You guys were awesome. I got to run into you on your way to dinner, and you still stopped and took pictures and talked to my husband, who doesn't even like country music, but he still went on the cruise with me and got to meet everybody in the studio, including Bobby, except Amy, because you left early, and I was so disappointed.
Bobby Bones
Amy left early. What a loser.
Morgan
Come on.
Bobby Bones
Loser left early.
Amy
I'm sad I didn't get to meet you either. However, I left with Eddie.
Bobby Bones
All of us are here Bobby left. Don't throw me in the chat. Mention anything about Michelle. Probably stayed after the show. I stayed after I met everybody. Right, Michelle?
Listener Caller
Yes. I met you after the show. I hung out after the wine tasting to meet Eddie again. And actually, I did run into Amy at the spa cafe. I think the morning you were leaving, you had on, like, black leggings and a black hat and top, and you weren't looking very well. I didn't want to go over and interrupt you.
Amy
Well, I wish you would have. I wish you would have come to say hi, but, yes, that was when I was. That was the morning I was leaving with Eddie. Eddie and I were leaving together.
Bobby Bones
Amy didn't.
Morgan
Left early.
Bobby Bones
Boo. Hiss.
Amy
Yeah, that was probably just before I got sick, but I wish you would have. You can always.
Morgan
But you got sick.
Amy
Yeah, I did. Twex doesn't even know it's called hungover.
Bobby Bones
No. Yeah, she got. She was hungover at the Mouse.
Heather Dubreu
Not sick.
Bobby Bones
Not from the boat.
Amy
Yeah, Yeah, a little bit.
Morgan
Like, she.
Listener Caller
Yeah.
Lunchbox Eddie
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. At the airport.
Morgan
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
She did blame it a little on being carsick, though.
Amy
Well, that enhanced it.
Lunchbox Eddie
It's another good excuse.
Bobby Bones
But I don't know. As someone who gets car sick, I'm never gonna judge somebody.
Amy
Eddie, even. You know, that car ride was sketch.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Sketch or fast? You guys said two different terms.
Morgan
Fast.
Bobby Bones
Michelle, thank you for calling. Thank you for coming. We're so happy you had a good time.
Listener Caller
Thank you guys for putting it on. It was great fun.
Bobby Bones
Did you go to show one or two of Eddie and I?

Okay.
Lunchbox Eddie
Thank God.
Listener Caller
Why?
Amy
Oh, Cause show one, there was disruption.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, there was. Yeah. Oh, I met that lady, the one that disrupted.
Morgan
Yeah, you know what it is? She said, lychee martinis. No, no, not lychee martinis. Lavender martini. She was like, I had never had one, and I had one, and I was like, this is delicious. And she goes. So I was just sitting at the martini bar, and I had, like, three of them, and it was like 30 minutes before the show, and I was like, uh, oh, I'm in trouble. She goes, but I tried to power through the show, and I just.
Bobby Bones
Oh, she powered through the show.
Lunchbox Eddie
We did.
Morgan
And she goes.
Jay Shetty
So I just.
Morgan
She goes. When I get drunk, I get kind of giggly. And she. She goes. And I thought I was gonna be able to hold it together. And she goes. And I didn't hold it together.
Bobby Bones
She did not hold it together.
Morgan
Yeah, we met her. She was really nice.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, Well, I met her, too.
Morgan
And I met her husband. He didn't know who we were, but he was just smoking a cigar on the deck and just hanging out.
Bobby Bones
There were a lot of husbands who didn't know who we were, who came with their wives.
Lunchbox Eddie
That was my favorite. Like, every time I'd meet them and just like, man, I'm gonna make sure you have a good time.
Bobby Bones
Most of them were like, oh, this is much more fun than I thought.
Lunchbox Eddie
Yeah, you.
Bobby Bones
