Transcript

[Amy]

This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human.

[Helena Merriman]

If journalism is the first draft of history, what happens if that draft is flawed? In 1999, four Russian apartment buildings were bombed, hundreds killed. But even now, we still don't know for sure who did it. It's a mystery that sparked chilling theories. I'm Helena Merriman, and in a new BBC series, I'm talking to the reporters who first covered this story. What did they miss the first time? The History Bureau, Putin and the apartment bombs.

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on.

[Michelle Williams]

Bobby Ball transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Turn it up.

[Lunchbox]

This is the Bobby Bone Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's welcome to Tuesday's show, Morning Studio.

[Lunchbox]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Big shout out to all of our listeners in St. Louis. I'm not sure how many monkeys are still loose in the streets of St. Louis, but it was an issue for a while from the Guardian. Several monkeys were loose in St. Louis with the exact number in origin unknown. Can you imagine just driving down the street and you see monkeys running down the street?

[Amy]

No. I would be like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I would think it was a joke. The monkeys, identified as vervet monkeys, were first spotted near O Falon park near St. Louis. Residents were advised not to approach the monkeys, authorities working to safely capture them. Anyone who sees the monkeys are urged to contact Animal Care and Control.

[Mike]

Is this the same accident where, like, all the monkeys got loose?

[Bobby Bones]

No, those monkeys had, like, STDs because they were practicing or they were testing STD on them. Yeah.

[Mike]

So they recovered all those guys and then there's a whole different.

[Bobby Bones]

They killed those monkeys.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't kill these monkeys. I think the other monkeys, they killed them because they didn't want to. Them making. Making sweet love to somebody. Next thing you know, monkey meets somebody at a bar or biting. Yeah, yeah. Obviously that's what it was.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think they're really going to the bar. A giant bear was living under a guy's house in LA, and he wouldn't leave. 37 days. This bear, £550, was living under a man's house. And they finally got him out because they kept shooting him with paintballs. The homeowner, Ken Johnson, was living with a massive black bear under his home.

[Amy]

The.

[Bobby Bones]

The bear ruined Christmas because they kept being worried the bear would come out if they ever went outside. The bear eviction finally happened Tuesday after he contacted a group that specializes in bear removal. They couldn't kill the bear here. Like, they have protections against the bears, and so they went under. They just shot him with paintballs over and over again.

[Amy]

The removal company, that's their method.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's the only way they could really get to it.

[Mike]

They're professionals.

[Amy]

Okay, it worked. I thought when you first said that, I was like, oh, the homeowners, they're trying to do whatever they can.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it was the best of the people.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Mike]

So was the bear hibernating?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I guess probably right. And they couldn't really crawl under there and get them because the bear could wake up and kill them. And they weren't going to kill the bear. They also couldn't shoot it with a tranquilizer because then it's just asleep and you can't get under there and drag it out. Right. So they just shot it with paintballs until the bear was like, this sucks. And then left. Poor bear, he's looking for a warm spot. At least I didn't kill it. There was a flight and they were landing this flight in Los Angeles and the turbulence was so bad one of the people that was switching seats, it broke their ankles. I just think I was dead. I'm gonna tell you, if I'm in a plane in turbulence hits that hard, I think I'm dead. Like we're done. But two people aboard flight suffered broken ankles.

[Mike]

After the broken ankles coming down again.

[Bobby Bones]

The aircraft had been flying. It encountered some bad bumps. What'd you say?

[Mike]

Coming down like turbulence. You've probably. They were probably standing upright. They go up and then on the way down they broke.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, well what you need to like come down that. You'd have to go up that height and they'd hit their head.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So they hit their head probably too. And then they didn't break their head.

[Bobby Bones]

Then talks about their necker head. The captain switched on the seat belt sign in advance of the turbulence and the cabin crew secured the cabin accordingly. Despite their precautions, a sudden severe vertical jolt caused occupants to be flying across the cabin.

[Mike]

Oh my God.

[Bobby Bones]

As a result, one passenger snapped his ankle after leaving his seat and one airline employee broke her ankle.

[Joel and Matt]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

New York Post dude. I'm dead.

[Amy]

That's not want to be on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know. And finally, if you want to go to the super bowl because there's two more weeks of playoffs, there's this weekend. One more weekend, then there's a break for a week and then the Super Bowl. That's how far out we are. If you want to go to the super bowl, they're selling a full Super bowl experience. NFL.com is selling a game package. You will get premium club level seating which I think is just like lower, lower bowl. You will get a two hour pre game party, a five star chef curated cuisine, a premium open bar. An NFL legend will come by your party and easily accessible restrooms.

[Amy]

For how many people?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, for one. Each of these is one person. Any guess on the price there 50,000, 18,500. See, now you've made it seem reasonable.

[Amy]

No, I haven't. I just don't know like that. I. I don't know this. I feel like some people you're getting like all this extra stuff and the guy coming by. So I.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't say who the legend is yet. Yeah, TBD on the legend.

[Amy]

But to be clear, 18,000 does not sound reasonable to me at all whatsoever. That is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

185 for one person to get all of that. If you go to the super bowl and you just, it's a, it's a risk. And you just wait outside, you can probably get a ticket for like 3, 400 bucks. It'll be a really high up ticket. And also Super Bowl. It's cool to say you went to a Super Bowl.

[Lunchbox]

It's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

But if it ain't your team, it's just a bunch of people who's there and it's not their team because most people going to the super bowl aren't fans of the team. It's slightly overrated, I'll say. To go to the Super Bowl, I'm going to say slightly overrated. Cool, but slightly overrated. Not as overrated as prom or like New Year's Eve. Not as overrated as New Year's Eve, but slightly overrated. So. But if you're like Amy and 18:5 is nothing. Just go.

[Amy]

That's not what I meant.

[Mike]

You just, you got a chef.

[Amy]

It just sounded so like such a crazy experience. And then also the NFL, they probably want to profit a lot. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And that NFL legend will come by. I do want to take a call. This is from Wallace in Florida. We are getting closer to Eddie's 20 Day Fast, which he's going to start on Thursday of this week. So, Wallace, what do you want to say to Eddie?

[Caller]

Good morning, Sidio.

[Michelle Williams]

Morning.

[Lunchbox]

Morning.

[Caller]

So I called previously about when lunchbox have stomach things going on. They call my diverticulitis possibly. And that's what I've had. And I had to fast for like two weeks to completely reset my, my bowels and intestines. And the first two or three days are pretty hard because you have family and they're eating and your friends are eating around you and you just want to eat anything. It doesn't matter what it is. But once you get past those two, three days and you stay consistent on not eating anything, it gets pretty easy. You just have to clear your mind and meditate a little bit. And it gets pretty easy. After the three days without Eating?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Anytime that I've done a three, maybe. I think four is the longest I've done. After the day and a half, two, you start to actually get kind of a runner's high kind of feeling where you feel great, but all your patterns, it sucks because it's okay. It's 5 o' clock starting to start. We're about to eat dinner because I ate dinner so early. And then when you don't, it just feels weird. And your body, it gets in a pattern, so it starts to get hungry just naturally, even if you're not hungry, because it knows food's about to come. That's what's going to be hard for you. And the fact you have four kids and a wife and they're going to be enjoying their burgers and you're just going to. I wouldn't even watch. I would get out of the house.

[Mike]

Just go somewhere else.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd get out of the house, go for a drive. I have a feeling, and I have a fear that you're going to drink a lot of wine to compensate.

[Mike]

No, no, no. That's just the nighttime liquid, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't one generally the nighttime liquid? Yeah, usually, yeah.

[Mike]

But you know what I'm worried about is when football comes on, because that's like, all right, the game's on. I'm getting chips, I'm ordering pizza. We're getting wings.

[Amy]

Watch the game, like, while you walk.

[Mike]

Oh, that's a good question. Can I exercise during this?

[Amy]

You can walk, I imagine.

[Mike]

Like, am I going to be too weak to.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can exercise during this, but you're not Gandhi on a.

[Mike]

It's our thought. It's gonna be like, am I gonna have the strength to exercise?

[Bobby Bones]

Your body's gonna feel so weird that you're gonna feel like you don't. But, yes, you actually. Okay, again, it's only four days. It's gonna feel like a month. But there are people that do no food for multiple weeks at a time.

[Mike]

How long did Gandhi go for?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Mike]

Like, he got skinny.

[Bobby Bones]

He did.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not sure we have to look that up. Hey, Wallace, thank you very much. I hope your health is doing better.

[Caller]

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Bye. Bye. Gandhi undertook numerous fasts for political and spiritual reasons, with his longest fast lasting 21 days a duration he maintained on several occasions, notably in 1943 to protest British rule. That's like a hunger strike.

[Mike]

Yeah, right.

[Bobby Bones]

More than a fast. I mean, it's the same thing, but that's when you Say I'm striking. Let's go to one more. Hey, Becky in Maryland is on the show. Becky, you're on with Eddie.

[Caller]

I think Eddie can do this. I know that he hasn't followed through with a lot of things, but I think you can do this. And I'm going to join him on this challenge.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you have listeners hopping in with you.

[Mike]

So, like the last caller, I'm not alone anymore.

[Amy]

You're not alone because the whole church is invited to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't see them. You can talk to them.

[Mike]

That's amazing. That's really cool. She's doing that.

[Bobby Bones]

You're like Forrest Gump when he runs.

[Mike]

It starts with one person.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Wow, that'd be cool. Hold on. So do you guys want to join in?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm good. Hey, Becky, why are you joining Eddie?

[Caller]

Well, I just think it will help encourage if he knew people were behind him. And it will also encourage me to know that I've got to keep up with him. And I don't know if it's so much to get close to God, but that might help.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't lie, Eddie.

[Mike]

About what?

[Bobby Bones]

You come in, you're like, I'm fasting. But really, you've been eating.

[Mike]

I just ate a donut.

[Amy]

No, that wouldn't be the whole.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know, but for the show. Because he's the guy who's claimed to do a lot of things he never does.

[Mike]

Yeah, that's old.

[Amy]

Right? But because this is in the name of the Lord, he's not gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

L. Right.

[Mike]

Name of the Lord.

[Bobby Bones]

As he might to the Lord, he can't.

[Mike]

I will not go to confession.

[Lunchbox]

It's all good. They'll forgive.

[Mike]

No, I will not. And guys, I'm serious this time, okay?

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Becky, thank you for the call.

[Caller]

You're welcome.

[Amy]

Have a great day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you too. Eddie starts his 20 day fast. Really? Four on Thursday. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been going to the gym regularly for over a year, and in the past few months, I've started lifting weights. Early on, I injured my finger when my ring got caught on a weight. And my trainer warned me about how dangerous rings can be while lifting. So then I've started leaving my ring at home when I go to the gym in the morning. This morning, my husband noticed and really got upset. He said, you never wear it anymore. And he accused me of trying to look single at the gym. I explained the injury and reminded him we've been married 13 years. I even mentioned I'd asked him for a Chain so I could wear it safely. Now he doesn't want to talk about it, and I'm confused about where this reaction came from. Signed ringless wife. Go ahead.

[Amy]

I mean, aren't there those little, like, silicone or rubber ones that we could get to put on? I understand that. I mean, I was married to someone that was a pilot in the Air Force, and he would not fly with his ring or anytime he was flying, just in case something would happen, like, he could get it caught. So I remember. Remember being in that situation, like, you're not gonna wear your ring. But then I had to accept that he's telling me the truth, and I trust him. And obviously, she had an incident at the gym that was dangerous. I've never had that.

[Bobby Bones]

But I guess she should wear a silicone ring.

[Amy]

Well, I don't know. I'm just saying that would. That would solve the issue.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

They're not just for men.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. But a silicone ring, I wouldn't think if I were looking at a woman's hand meant she was married even on that finger. Because a woman's ring is different than a guy's ring. A guy's ring is just a band.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. But sometimes women just wear even, like, a gold band or a little, like a. Just they don't have their diamond on, so that would work.

[Bobby Bones]

I've just never seen that on a woman.

[Amy]

I think that could solve it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think your guy sucks.

[Amy]

Or. Or he's sensitive.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What's he worried about?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, get over it. Are you projecting, bro?

[Amy]

I thought about projecting, and I also just thought about is, are there trust issues that he's had in the past? And this is something that's coming up, but, gosh, they've been married 13 years.

[Lunchbox]

So.

[Amy]

Yeah, just.

[Bobby Bones]

She did ask for a chain as well. I would go back and say, hey, I'm happy to wear the ring. I've asked for a chain. Or just go get the chain yourself.

[Amy]

But a chain around the neck to me, isn't going to indicate married.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I hear you. Like. And a silicone band to me isn't either. A hard band would. But then you can't wear that because it's probably how you got hurt initially.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, just don't be clumsy with your hands.

[Amy]

Also, why doesn't he trust you?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, what's up with that? Yeah, what's up with that? He kind of sucks for this. If you really injured yourself and you can prove it, and that's why you're not wearing it. He kind of sucks for not understanding. Also, you can wear your ring to the gym. Take it off, put it in the locker. People leave all kinds of stuff. People leave your wallet in there. You have to leave all your stuff in there. It's got a code on it.

[Amy]

Oh, but a ring. One time at the elliptical, remember, I had my wedding ring on, and it was bothering me because it was the elliptical where you, like, move the arms, too, and it was, like, bothering my hand, so I took it off, I put it on the elliptical and kept working out, and then I left.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, she forgot it in there.

[Mike]

Amy, we're back.

[Bobby Bones]

Found it, of course.

[Amy]

The guy cleaning it, he was vacuuming up things, and he found it and turned it in. I was like, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

If you can safely put it in a locker with. If they have codes on your lockers, wear it to the gym. Put it in your locker, because you got to put other valuables in there. No one's gonna get in your locker. If you're there in the daytime and you can put a coat on, I would do that. He's out. He's out of control. If you have a real reason to, you're not weird. If all of a sudden you just didn't want to wear it to the gym anymore, I would also go, why are you wearing it in the gym anymore?

[Amy]

And what's your trainer's name?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Raul. You do like Latin guys. That would be my answer. Wear it to the gym.

[Amy]

It's interesting that the trainer is the one that's like, hey, you probably shouldn't wear that anymore.

[Mike]

But just because he takes off, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, I know.

[Amy]

Maybe he's. He's into her. He's like, oh, I hate the reminder that she's married all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

That ring ain't stopping it.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

You wear the ring, and that still happens. I would say, go to the gym, wear the ring to the gym, put it in your locker, but make sure the locker has the ability to lock or take a lock with you. That's what I would say. But also, your guy needs to chill out. You can email us mailbagobbybones.com thank you very much. Close it up, Bones. What, are we not supposed to touch receipts? Why?

[Amy]

Apparently, there's something dangerous on them, and it seeps into our bloodstream.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's a clip. Hit that clip.

[Amy]

Most receipts use thermal paper containing bisphenols, or bpa, and they are easily absorbed into the bloodstream. These chemicals are toxic, and a study showed 80% of receipt contain toxic BPA what do these chemicals do to your body? They're the famous hormone disruptors which could impact fertility hormone balance and increased risk of certain cancers. Now, I don't want to be an alarmist here, but just opt for an email receipt.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's a lot of alarm to y'.

[Lunchbox]

All.

[Bobby Bones]

Cancer. That's an alarm.

[Amy]

Right. When I saw this clip, I kept thinking of all the receipts over my entire life that I have definitely held.

[Bobby Bones]

Think of all the cancer you get from CVS receipts. Those things wrap all the way around you.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, you got to be touching a lot of receipts to have this actually affect you.

[Joel and Matt]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you got to be coupon saving and receiptin', like one receipt a day.

[Amy]

In the video, she was holding up a receipt, but she wouldn't even touch it. She was using, like, a clothespin.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Amy]

She's like, do not be an alarmist. This video had, like, has like 20 million views.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm sure that there is something.

[Amy]

And she's a doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure there's something to this. But. But a receipt a day. And also, we're not touching a receipt a day.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

As long as you're not eating it, I think you're probably okay. Like they say, touch receipts in moderation.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're right. I'm sure there's all kinds chemicals going into this stuff.

[Amy]

I saw someone, because I went into the comments on the post just to get more insight, and someone from Europe commented like, that they made those illegal.

[Bobby Bones]

All the way from Europe. Wow.

[Mike]

On an American post. Wow.

[Amy]

My point is, they were stating that whatever the type of paper is, it's illegal there. And, you know, oftentimes things are illegal there before it makes money.

[Bobby Bones]

They'll let it kill us before they limit that.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

When I worked at Hobby Lobby, I touched a lot of receipts. If you're working at a store, you're probably touching a lot of receipts.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm sure there's something there. Opt for an email receipt. Opt for an email.

[Amy]

But she's not trying to be an alarmist.

[Bobby Bones]

But for the environment, opt for an email receipt. Although Lunchbox claims to be someone who recycles. And Eddie saw his recycling, his little recycling center here.

[Mike]

Oh, you know, guys, he has, like, an area where he puts everything that he recycled but never takes it to get recycled.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you do your fingers like that?

[Mike]

Because he's like, I recycle. And I do see him, like, pick up papers. Like, can I. Are you going to eat on with those?

[Bobby Bones]

And I Touch that receipt? Yes.

[Mike]

Then he takes them like he's going to go recycle them. Well, guess what? I found his stash. It's loaded with paper that he's never going to recycle.

[Bobby Bones]

Landfill.

[Lunchbox]

I have no idea what he's talking about. I don't have a place here.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's a drawer in one of the studios over there.

[Lunchbox]

I have not put a single piece of paper.

[Mike]

That's lunchboxes.

[Amy]

It's okay to admit it.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on. It's not that safe. I've been around you guys for a long time.

[Mike]

It's okay.

[Lunchbox]

I. I don't know what you're talking about.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I literally have no idea what he's talking about.

[Amy]

Thing to deny, dude.

[Mike]

Okay, you know what? You're a recycler.

[Bobby Bones]

You're okay. He's back to it.

[Mike]

We'll just leave it.

[Bobby Bones]

Big environment guy.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. Like, I literally have no drawer that here at this building. At the other building, I would keep it in the production studio, and then I'd take it home once a year.

[Bobby Bones]

Once a year.

[Lunchbox]

We would see how many papers we would on the shelves, and then I would take it home in the, like, copy boxes here. They don't even have recycle cans here.

[Mike]

Right. So you take it to the studio. Production studio right down the hall.

[Lunchbox]

No, I stick it in my backpack, and then I take the papers that I use here, and I take it home anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't touch receipts, okay? Don't touch receipts. Please recycle. This video has just have 20 million views. It's crazy. Oh, bones.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been told I can talk about this now. Amy threw my wife a baby shower and she said it was I went by at the end. That's the rule. The guy goes by.

[Amy]

Yeah, the dad oftentimes will show up towards the End sometimes it wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Oftentimes for me, it was, you gotta go. So I came.

[Michelle Williams]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. She said. And I saw it was great. She thought it was fantastic.

[Amy]

So, yeah, I think everyone had a really great time, and it was fun to celebrate her.

[Bobby Bones]

And she doesn't really like being celebrated.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But it was. I thought that you guys forced it, and I thought she really enjoyed it.

[Amy]

Yeah. And I think we did it in a way that she felt comfortable, and I think everybody else enjoyed it. We did a little different, Like a dinner, which I think that's not traditionally a baby shower activity.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you have that table in your house?

[Amy]

Well, one of them was my dining room table, and then I rented another table to marry up to it because I knew I wanted everybody around one table. So then I rented benches, too, so that way everybody would fit.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, it was great.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I walked in, everybody was sitting at a table. Your wife was there.

[Lunchbox]

Ready?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mike]

She said there was a chef.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Amy hired a chef.

[Mike]

It's amazing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, it was like. Well, there was other hosts that helped, too. And we tried to just. Yeah. Make it a different experience, like, gather people, have a dinner. And then we still did a few baby shower type games.

[Bobby Bones]

I hopped in for the games and which Bobby did. I was a stripper.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Amy]

He actually, like. You actually made some really funny jokes. Not that that's.

[Bobby Bones]

I know when I'm on, it's time to be on.

[Amy]

I know, but.

[Bobby Bones]

And my wife told me, show up and be on.

[Mike]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Because she knows I just will melt into a wall. She knows I'll go somewhere and not be.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like you came to play.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, show up and, like, be the version of you that is magnetic.

[Mike]

So what did you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing. I was just fine. Most of the time, though, if I get someone, there's a lot of people. I've. No. I'm not going to be life of the party. I'm not going to try to. I'm not sucking the auction out of the room. I'm good.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because I was worried about, like, okay. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It's all women in me.

[Amy]

Yeah. And I thought he might be like. But he dove right in and like, we. He had us laughing at strict orders.

[Bobby Bones]

Dive right in. So he did Got there. We played games. It's like, who will read to the baby more? Who will sing to the baby more?

[Amy]

It's a game.

[Bobby Bones]

Worried about the baby.

[Amy]

Mommy or daddy? And. And Kayla was like, can you not say mommy and daddy? So I was like, okay. We're gonna play mom or dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, my wife did say you guys had a game where, like, they said, like, all right, whoever has the most kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, oh, that was like a pass around game.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a. There's a prize, and it gets handed to somebody, and it's like, whoever has the most kids, take the gift now. Pass it to whoever has the most dead people.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Joel and Matt]

Whatever it was.

[Bobby Bones]

And so somebody ends up with the gift at the very end. So that's fine.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's where I highly recommend that game. And then something that Caitlin also told me about, which we ended up doing there. So I give her the credit. I don't know where she first saw it, but this is such a good activity for anybody that's having a baby shower. You get diapers and you put, like, cute little sharpie markers or something out and make a little station where people can go by and write late night night notes on the diapers. So that way, when mom and dad are changing the diaper, they get like a funny joke or a word of encouragement or something to make them smile as they're having to be up in the middle of night changing diapers.

[Bobby Bones]

Someone wrote on one of the diapers, dave girl killed Kurt Cobain.

[Amy]

Who did that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think Dave Grohl killed Kurt Cobain from Nirvana, but I think that was to make me laugh.

[Mike]

Hey, how do they know?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know. Let's see what else comes to mind from that night. I got there late. Everybody was finishing dinner.

[Joel and Matt]

Did you get to eat?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, well, that was so quickly, but I was. I had to sit down and start doing the game so I could be ready for it. Then we played the other game. There were some balloons. I took all the gifts out to the car. Oh, I got it. We didn't do gifts. Standard gifts.

[Lunchbox]

We.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife did. She's like, we don't need gifts. So everybody that came brought a book, like a children's book.

[Amy]

So, yeah, y' all didn't want to register for anything, which. So. But I told her, I was like, everybody that's coming is going to want to bring something. So then that's when she said, just bring your favorite children's book and write a little note inside to the baby. And people walked in.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there are notes in them.

[Amy]

Some.

[Bobby Bones]

I carried a bunch of books upstairs. I gotta get a bookshelf for upstairs.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, some. And then we also. This was fun, too. Had Polaroid cameras scattered about. Like me and some of the other hosts, like, if you had a camera, you brought it. And then people got to take Polaroids throughout the night. And then we gave Caitlin the Polaroids at the end, although she did just text me saying that she only ended up with, like, some of them, so she didn't know where they were. So now I gotta call around and be like, did y' all take the Polaroids? These are.

[Mike]

Whoever wrote that Dave Grohl note, check them first.

[Amy]

Because that's supposed to be for her memories. To, like, have all the Polaroids of everybody capturing different moments from the night got.

[Joel and Matt]

Was a.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a good party. I was only there for 20 minutes or so of it, but according to my wife, it was a really good party.

[Amy]

I feel like your time is so weird. You were definitely there longer than 20 minutes, which is good. I think, like, oftentimes you have time blindness. Like, here's the problem.

[Bobby Bones]

I had to leave in the middle of the Arkansas game, which. The basketball game, which is hard. We're getting our butts kicked. And I think the reason that they lost that bad was because I wasn't able to focus.

[Joel and Matt]

Oh, no.

[Amy]

Why didn't you tell me? We could have thrown it on.

[Bobby Bones]

Auburn pounded. No. The screens all covered with balloons now.

[Mike]

We ever heard about your house? You don't have sports in your house. We know.

[Amy]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So I, I. That was a big. And there was an NFL playoff game on it, too, but I was fine.

[Amy]

Yeah, you're fine. Well, I'm saying, give yourself more credit. You were there. You participated and were on for longer than 20 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

And you did life at the party.

[Amy]

You did great.

[Bobby Bones]

I was starving, too. I got. And I started eating. The food was good. And they were like, I'll do this.

[Lunchbox]

Get it.

[Bobby Bones]

I had, like, four bites and wasn't able to touch the food. They tortured me. They didn't say, eat before you get here either. So it was a great party. Very excited about it. She was very excited about it. Very excited after it. And we have. We have a lot of books in the house.

[Amy]

A lot of books, which is another good idea if you are having a shower and you don't know what to do. But I would say most people in general register for things, but you and Caitlin Darrell are just take a. Handling it yourself, which is fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're good. We're good. We're good.

[Amy]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we're going to do nostalgic sounds. Ray, give me a better description here. Yeah, it's forgotten sounds. You're just going to Identify the sounds. These are probably from your childhood, and you really don't hear them anymore now. All right, give us the example.

Thank you very much. Thank you for. Thank you for everybody supporting me to that. That's rough. I was in the lead. I fell back. Yeah, I feel pretty good about that. For the first time in 2026, Lunchbox is called 91 1, okay? Breaking news. Breaking news. Lunchbox had to call 91 1. I'm not sure why, though. What happened.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm lucky to be alive, guys. I was in a automobile accident on the highway. It was around 4:20pm Stop and go traffic, and I'm going five miles an hour.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe you're in the go part of stop and go.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And I'm in the middle lane heading northbound. Had a smoothie I just gotten from Tropical Smoothie right there in the cup holder, when all of a sudden, boom got hit.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's in the car with you?

[Lunchbox]

Me. Just me. Had no kids, thank goodness. Just me.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

The car was going 60. Never hit the brakes.

[Bobby Bones]

The car was going 60.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Mike]

How are you still here?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Is your neck hurt?

[Lunchbox]

My back is very sore. The smoothie exploded. I mean, exploded all over. And if, Mike, you want to pull up the car, I mean, you can see the damage. I'm lucky to be alive. The whole back end is dented in.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you exaggerate the 60?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you know?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, I'm telling the Ford. I mean, their car. I mean, look at that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't know if they told you 60 or.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I felt it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so you're just guessing that looks like.

[Mike]

That looks like.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S terrible. Yeah. That's enough to make a smoothie blow up for sure.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, it was 60, bro.

[Mike]

No way.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, I am telling you, I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Want to discount what you went through.

[Amy]

What were they doing?

[Bobby Bones]

So they were looking on the phone.

[Lunchbox]

They didn't look up. I have no idea. I still don't even know if it was a man or a woman driving the other vehicle.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, they didn't stop? No, no.

[Lunchbox]

Their car immediately became disabled. They were going so fast, it smashed in. Mike, if you want to show their vehicle now, their car became so smashed in that it couldn't move, and so I had to move to the side of the road. Look how smashed in their vehicle is, folks.

[Amy]

Oh, wow. That is pretty crazy.

[Lunchbox]

That's going 60.

[Amy]

That's crazy. Okay. I now think I believe.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh? So.

[Lunchbox]

So they were.

[Bobby Bones]

They didn't get out?

[Lunchbox]

Well, they were about 100 yards back because I pulled over to the shoulder of the road, and so I couldn't see the person. They stayed in the car. They left in an ambulance. The police car followed the ambulance to the hospital. One of them did. And when the tow truck showed up, they're like, oh, I'm not allowed to tow that vehicle yet. They want to search it so that from the context clues, feels like they felt like they maybe been impaired. Impaired or on their phone and their airbags deployed. The cop was shocked that my airport airbags did not deploy, but I am lucky to be alive, guys. I mean, do you. I mean, that is 60.

[Helena Merriman]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah. I'd say now after seeing the other car.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Wow. The back end of your truck is built like a tank.

[Mike]

Did you have, like, Christmas presents back there? Like, why. Why wouldn't it? Not a bunch of rebar recyclables.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, it was bananas. And they had to shut down the highway to one lane. They had three lanes blocked off.

[Bobby Bones]

Scared the crap out of you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you wonder if you were hurt?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because I. At first, I mean, you just hear the boom, and you're like. And it took me. I was like, what?

[Helena Merriman]

What?

[Lunchbox]

What? Oh, my God. I just got hit. I just got hit.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you hit your head on the steering wheel?

[Lunchbox]

No. Seat belt tightened up like a chain.

[Mike]

Whiplash. You didn't get any whiplash.

[Amy]

Oh, that's what he said.

[Lunchbox]

He said, oh, my back. My back is sore.

[Amy]

Just now you flailed about.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't show that in court. Now you're ju. Like, at home.

[Lunchbox]

And my wife's like, you gotta go to the hospital. You got it. And I'm like, no, my back's a little, like, it's sore, but it's not. Like, I can't move lunchbox.

[Amy]

What if this is one of those things?

[Bobby Bones]

They're gonna play this in court, bro.

[Helena Merriman]

No.

[Amy]

Like, no, no, no.

[Mike]

Change your narrative.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know.

[Lunchbox]

You can Barely move.

[Amy]

I'm thinking of his other ailments, you know, like his. His testicle and his stomach pain. Like, this could be one of those things where if he had gone to the hospital for this, then they figure out what's wrong with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it hurts to chew. That's what you should be saying.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, you missed an opportunity. Opportunity.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, it was crazy. Like, just the impact of getting hit.

[Amy]

I hope they're okay.

[Lunchbox]

Do you know, I mean, I feel they. Because the ambulance didn't go with their lights blaring. Like, they didn't rush. It was like a slow drive away. And a cop followed them to the hospital.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Kind of thing.

[Bobby Bones]

So what happens next?

[Amy]

Insurance?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I have. And see, that's the thing. I don't know if this was a man or a woman. I don't know if they have insurance because I never talked to them. So I just got a little number on a card that's a case number. And I gotta go through insurance, find out if they have insurance, and then we go from there.

[Bobby Bones]

Any chance you testify in court?

[Lunchbox]

It would be amazing if I got to testify in court, but if this is an impaired driver.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you take pictures of your smoothie explosion in the front?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, dude, I should have sent that to Mike. Dude, it is. No, no, it's not even on the front. It's. The windshield is covered. It's on the ceiling, and it's dripping. Man, it is dripping down on me.

[Amy]

So where's your car now?

[Lunchbox]

In the garage.

[Mike]

Oh, it's drivable. Are you sure it's drivable?

[Lunchbox]

Probably not drivable, but I drive it.

[Amy]

How did you clean it?

[Mike]

Dude, you should check that.

[Lunchbox]

Let me tell you, the back end.

[Bobby Bones]

Of his car doesn't. It looks like a fender.

[Lunchbox]

I think if I showed you at an angle, the side angle, you would realize how deep in that is.

[Mike]

And the thing is, you never really know what it did to the inside, you know, like, the axles.

[Lunchbox]

It does pull a little bit right. Now the car goes right.

[Mike]

Can't drive that, dude.

[Amy]

Were you able to clean up the smoothie really well?

[Lunchbox]

Well, that's the problem, is the windshield was caked in it. And I found a little bit of water in the car in a bottled water that I was able to clean it so I could see out the windshield to drive home. But besides that, I had nothing. I. Because at first I did the windshield wiper fluid, and it didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

It just smeared the smoothie.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't think about that, but it does look like a murder scene because it's like smoothie all over the inside of the car. It was bananas.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you so happy your kids weren't with you?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yes. And when they. When I got home, they were like, oh, I wish I'd have been there, dad. That would have been so cool. And I'm like, no, no, no. I just sent Mike the smoothie video. I forgot about it. And you can just see, smoothie just caked. I mean, it was like an explosion. But look in my phone, because there's, like, a little shelf in there. It flew all the way to the back of the car, like, it's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

What did the cops say to you?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they're like, yeah, everything okay? And it was a cop. It was a girl cop, and it was her third day on the job, so she was just learning how to do everything. So one cop was telling her, right, now, you need to ask him this. Now you need to ask him that.

[Bobby Bones]

You got a intro cop. Enter the cop.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

It was wild, man. And the cop was just like, you're gonna have this report here. And I was like, is the other driver okay? Look at this. Are you.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you talking to the camera?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Look at the smoothie, dude. It is everywhere. Boom.

[Amy]

Oh, it looks like he threw up everywhere or what.

[Lunchbox]

It's peanut butter and banana.

[Mike]

Yeah, that was a piece of banana that just fell.

[Bobby Bones]

You look like you're about to cry. Yeah. Are you mostly about the smoothie more than anything else?

[Lunchbox]

He's like, man, it is everywhere. And, like, the sunroof, it was closed, dude, that. It shot open. The. The COVID of the sunroof shot open. That was cover. Yeah. I'll tell you, it was everywhere, man. It was bananas.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought there was gonna be a little more smoothie.

[Amy]

No, I think it's the smoothies. Banana, peanut butter. It doesn't look as bad.

[Mike]

Yeah, dude, that's a lot of smoothie.

[Amy]

It's more clear. It's a lot.

[Mike]

Look at that. It's all over the top.

[Amy]

But when he said a murder scene, like, I was picturing, like, a straw is red.

[Mike]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. But. Oh, man, it was rough, man. And everybody in. 5 o' clock traffic's by going, oh, these people don't know how to drive. It wasn't me, guys. It was the guy or girl behind me.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike]

If you were to guess what, like, it would be a guy or girl, Would you guess?

[Lunchbox]

Probably girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Setting them up. You're setting them up?

[Mike]

Just wondering.

[Bobby Bones]

You guess A girl yeah, I'd guess a girl. Why?

[Lunchbox]

Just the. The impact of the car. I don't know. Just the way the car looked and I don't know, I just. I felt girl.

[Bobby Bones]

You felt girl?

[Lunchbox]

Girl or woman?

[Mike]

Dang, girl.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that's the second time, man, that I've gotten rear ended. Like, that's tough.

[Mike]

Yeah, you all. I mean, the same thing in Houston.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, recently, were you going, you said you go five stop and go. Were you the only one stopping, going in the road? Or was there traffic?

[Lunchbox]

Those five o' clock traffic, the cops said, oh, is it just like normal traffic at this time of day? I was like, yeah. And he goes, yeah. I mean, because they never hit the brakes.

[Bobby Bones]

He just hit you with a. Yup. You went, yep.

[Lunchbox]

Like a little. Like a skid. There was no skid, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, or happy you're here. Happy.

[Lunchbox]

Guess what, though, okay. Because I'm a safe driver and I followed a good distance. I didn't hit the car in front of me.

[Mike]

Good job, man.

[Lunchbox]

That's the next question. You guys were so sad. Did you hit the car in front of you?

[Bobby Bones]

In front of you?

[Lunchbox]

No, man. I'm a safe driver. I followed at a good distance.

[Bobby Bones]

And do you think it was a woman or a man?

[Mike]

And we got our answer.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So, guys, you're lucky that I'm still here.

[Bobby Bones]

We are lucky. We'll count our. Count our blessings today.

[Joel and Matt]

[Bobby Bones]

Over to Amy now with the morning corny.

[Lunchbox]

The morning corny.

[Amy]

What did the papa cow say to the baby cow?

[Mike]

What?

[Amy]

It's pasture. Bedtime.

[Bobby Bones]

Pasture. Bedtime, guys. Pasture. That was the morning corning on Tuesday. We review stuff Tuesday. Reviews day. I watch nothing new.

[Joel and Matt]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

So I got nothing. I'll go to you, Amy.

[Amy]

Oh, man, do I have some stuff the night of which Bobby recommended. And it is so good and it's so crazy that it's from what, 2016.

[Bobby Bones]

I felt weird, like, recommending it because it was 10 years old, right? I didn't even know of it.

[Amy]

Who knew? It's on hbo. You gotta watch it. The only thing is just know when it's over. It's over because there's no.

[Bobby Bones]

It's one season.

[Amy]

Two. It is one season. Next up, what are you giving it? Oh, sorry, you didn't give it a score. Like five out of five cabs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Rikers. That Prison Michaels. Rikers. Are no joke.

[Amy]

It'll ruin your life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Ruin your life.

[Amy]

Like, show up there.

[Bobby Bones]

It's awesome. The night of is awesome. Amy, you give it a five out of five. I'm not even gonna argue with it, but it was close to that.

[Amy]

Would you give it 4 out of 4?

[Bobby Bones]

4.5 out of 5.

[Joel and Matt]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what else you got?

[Amy]

His and hers. It's a limited series on Netflix.

[Bobby Bones]

It has the guy from the Punisher.

[Amy]

Who'S my second favorite actor, who's also in Walking Dead.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

And I give that, like, three and a half out of five friendship bracelets.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all.

[Amy]

It's still good.

[Bobby Bones]

Even though it has Jon Bernthal, my second favorite actor behind Jesse Plemons.

[Amy]

I'm gonna be honest. I was multitasking, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, Amy, no focus.

[Amy]

There might have been some episodes where I left the room and then I would walk back in and I'd be like, shoot, what happened? But also, it's easy to piece it all together. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're piecing it together, I feel like that affects your score.

[Amy]

It doesn't. I'm curious to see. I know you're gonna watch it, so I'm curious to see what you're gonna rate it. And don't just rate it more, because we won't.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we start tonight.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

What else you got?

[Amy]

People We Meet on Vacation, which is a movie for. On Netflix. That was a book.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife was watching that when I walked in the other day.

[Amy]

I smiled pretty much the whole time I was watching it, and it made me wish that I had read the book first because it's just so stinking cute. I give it five out of five summer trips.

[Bobby Bones]

You hit us with two. Five out of five.

[Amy]

One is a TV show from 2016, and one is a new movie, so they're very different.

[Bobby Bones]

You liked it?

[Amy]

I loved it. I'm like, we need more books and movies like this, which I'm sure there are plenty. I just don't know where they are. And if anybody knows some from 10 years ago, I'll watch them. It's so stinking cute.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a friend that went on vacation. It doesn't have to do with the movie, but it has to do with people you meet on vacation. And she didn't go anywhere nutty, but she went on vacation to the beach. And she was like, you know, we met on vacation. I said, who said? Hugh Jackman. I said, what do you mean you met Hugh Jackman? She was like, well, him. And because he has a new girlfriend, that I guess is famous. He's not married anymore and he's like, yeah, him and her were together and they were all in love and we talked to him for like two hours. What? I'm like, how did you meet you? They're like, they were just next to us at the beach. So we became friends with them.

[Amy]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

People you meet on vacation.

[Amy]

Yeah, people meet on vacation. You never know.

[Bobby Bones]

5 out of 5?

[Amy]

5 out of 5.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything else?

[Amy]

That's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot.

[Joel and Matt]

That's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

[Amy]

I guess no. I feel like with any of those though, you cannot go wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike D. Did you watch People, I mean, on vacation? I did.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

The movie, Mike, Think about it. I thought it was really good. Like this kind of takes you back to like classic rom coms and usually Netflix ones are a little cheesy. This one wasn't that cheesy. I give it 4 out of 5. Skinny dips for Mike. That's pretty solid. Anything else? I watched a movie called Primate, which is kind of like Cujo except it's a monkey. Is it Stephen King? No. Oh, but he gets rabies and then all these people have to escape him. They're all like locked at a house. Oh yeah, that's not for me. Yeah. What do you give that? I give that 3.5 out of 5 bananas. It's like over the top, but like really gruesome, really bloody. Anything else?

[Lunchbox]

That's it.

[Amy]

Bobby Bone show.

[Lunchbox]

Bonehead.

[Bobby Bones]

Nori of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Polk County, Florida. A 39 year old man was on a construction site stealing some tools. When police pull up.

[Michelle Williams]

Woohoo.

[Bobby Bones]

Woo.

[Lunchbox]

Hey man, what are you doing? So they put him in cuffs. They're like, dude, why do you have prosthetic breasts on goes breasts? Yeah. He's like, oh, that's where I hide my pistol. So they take him off and there's this hidden pistol in there and he was a felon, not supposed to have a gun.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa. Can't you say it doesn't matter? You need a warrant to search my prosthetic breasts. Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

You can't touch these.

[Lunchbox]

These are mine.

[Bobby Bones]

That's harassment.

[Amy]

But don't you think a man with breasts draws more attention than like, why didn't he get a prosthetic stomach?

[Bobby Bones]

But as Jay Z said, you can't illegally search my blank. And what that means is breasts in this situation. So. But he's just like, yeah, that's where I keep my Gun freaked out. But we used to have to. Because stealing tools from a construction site, we roof houses. That was a big deal. Like, if you left anything, it got stolen because it's basically a flare going. There's a lot of work being done here, and there's probably tools here. So if you get here when nobody else is here, you probably make some money. Anything we left behind, and if we accidentally left it behind, because it was always known don't leave tools behind, but if you left them behind, it was like leaving dog food. Dogs were going to eat it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Well, there you go.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy won a million bucks in a scratch off. So it's Texas lottery. Scratch off wins a million bucks. So he ends up getting like, you know, close 700,000 bucks after taxes. But if you won this, would you go and buy something big? Like, let's say you hit this $700,000. You get that cash. Would you just go, and I just won this. I'm gonna go buy something big.

[Amy]

Gosh. First thing I'm gonna do is consult with somebody that really knows what they're doing with money. Because right away I would think something big for me would be paying off my mortgage. That would be big.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's where your mind. I guess I'm just wondering. This is not a billion. This is not the billion dollar. Because that. You can do whatever you want. You want to get all your ducks in a row. But I'm saying, if you bought you this for $690,000.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder where your mind went first.

[Amy]

That's exactly where my mature. But then I was like, but I better consult with somebody that knows what's up because of where the. I mean, I guess with that amount of money, I could just, like, pay it off. So maybe it wouldn't be a big deal. But I've thought about paying towards it more and more and more to get it down, down. And then I was advised, maybe don't do that right now. Because the way the interest rates are, like, your money is better invested somewhere else. So, like, if you put that money into something else, it will.

[Bobby Bones]

Your first thought just unfolded. All I wanted was first thought.

[Amy]

That was my first thought.

[Mike]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

It's mature. What would you do, Lunchbox? First thought, you hit it for 700,000.

[Lunchbox]

Buy a house or a car.

[Michelle Williams]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you'd buy something.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like a nice car.

[Bobby Bones]

You wouldn't pay your house down?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'd buy a Bigger one.

[Amy]

But here's the thing. If you pay your house down, then every month you have extra money that you were putting towards your mortgage or.

[Lunchbox]

You just buy a new big one and sell that one. You're okay, right? I mean, isn't that better?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think there's a better. I just wonder where your mind goes. Eddie. Boat first.

[Mike]

I'd get the boat that I've always wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

All the mature stuff out later and.

[Mike]

Then probably mortgage whatever's left on the mortgage.

[Joel and Matt]

Yeah.

[Amy]

What would you do if I hit that?

[Bobby Bones]

And it was like, here's a free $700,000. I would donate a bunch to Arkansas.

[Mike]

Football nil.

[Bobby Bones]

Or just, I mean, my first thing is I have all this free money, so I'm probably, yeah, throwing a couple hundred thousand at that immediately and then I'll figure out the rest.

[Amy]

A couple hundred thousand dollars to football.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll be honest with you. What it's.

[Amy]

At first I heard the word donate come out of your mouth and I was like, okay, all right. And then he's like, arkansas football. And I'm like, okay, being honest, dude. We appreciate that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's just what my mind goes first. And I donate a significant amount now, but that is just like extra and maybe Arkansas softball a little bit. So my brother in law coaches there.

[Mike]

That's nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Other than that, what else am I going to do? Buy baseball cards? Yeah. Anyway, congratulations to this guy. He's from Louisville, Texas. Scratched it off. I would just think somebody's playing a prank on me on a scratch off. I would think this is not real. That's from NBC dfw. We're done. Goodbye, everybody. The Bobby Bones Show.
