Episode Overview

This episode is a classic, lively morning show with the team diving into a wide range of trending and quirky topics: falling in love with chatbots, what women judge men on immediately, evolving personal opinions, weird food debates, an investigative interview with Mariana Van Zeller, the ongoing "Lunchbox casino money" drama, plus the usual games, call-ins, and absurd news stories.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Falling In Love With a Chatbot (AI Relationships)

• (02:19 - 04:41) Bobby shares a BBC News story of a woman who fell in love with an AI chatbot named Barry, only for the company to upgrade and 'retire' the model. He expresses sympathy for her ("She must be lacking any sort of companionship with a human" – Bobby, 03:31), but also finds it fascinating how AI can impact real emotions.
• (04:03-04:41) Bobby tests out his own assistant AI by asking for a poem about himself. The AI instantly delivers a personalized poem, which Bobby jokingly declares made him fall in love:

  "Honestly, that was so fast. I'm in love." — Bobby, (04:41)
  The team laughs over the absurdity.

---

2. Chick-fil-A's New Sides & Top Fried Foods

• (05:01 - 07:12) Chick-fil-A is testing sweet potato waffle fries and fried okra in select states. Bobby is thrilled:

  "Fried okra is number one for me on the fried foods." — Bobby, (06:29)

• The crew rank favorite fried foods, debating classics like fried chicken, fries, pickles, and even "fried Eddie." Playful tone throughout.

---

3. Being Near Water Lowers Stress

• (07:12 - 09:14) A study finds stress is lowest when near natural water (ocean, lakes). The group shares childhood associations, with Bobby revealing:

  "I didn't go to the Ocean until my 20s... I hate to take my shirt off because I was so embarrassed in my body." — Bobby, (07:57-08:14)

• Amy gently teases how a nice topic turned into "sad Bobby water memories."

---

4. Evolving Opinions Over 5 Years

• (09:10 - 13:48)
• Bobby: Now values sleep and rest, realizing it's critical for doing great work and "reloading your brain," contrasting his old grind-all-day mentality.
• Amy: Used to be anti-commercial deodorant (made her own), but now is more relaxed and “won’t fight against it,” but isn't using it much (11:28).
• Eddie: Formerly careless about money, now regrets not saving early ("I should have had a 401k when I was 22" – 12:48).
• Lunchbox: Never thought he’d want kids, but now enjoys it; realized retirement isn’t as easy or fun as he used to believe (“You need to plan, because if you retire, you’re just kind of screwed” – 13:25). Group agrees retirement sounds better in theory.

---

5. What Women Judge Men On Immediately

• (15:04 – 21:35)
• Bobby presents a list (from Alpha M.) and asks Amy to evaluate:
  • Skin: Amy notices complexion, not color ("Yes, I notice a guy's skin" – Amy, 15:56).
  • Body language/confidence: Confidence is sexiest; Amy agrees posture matters.
  • Smell: Clean/good scents are nice but rare; bad smell is a turn-off.
  • Social awareness: Rudeness to others is a big negative.
  • Emotional stability: Obvious breakdowns are a red flag.
  • Voice: Surprising/odd voices can stand out, but not a dealbreaker.

  "If I introduce y'all... and his voice is like, 'Hey,' there's no way y'all wouldn't talk about that behind my back.” – Amy, (18:36)

• The group jokes about “manly” handshakes and “bro hugs.”
• Each guy picks their best quality: Eddie: confidence; Lunchbox: “man voice”; Bobby: grooming and style.

6. Interview: Mariana Van Zeller (Investigative Journalist, Nat Geo & Podcast Host)

• (25:12 – 29:45, 29:45 – 32:32)
  • Describes gaining trust and accessing dangerous cartels:

    “You just don’t show up... It takes us months, years of connections and trying to build trust.” – Mariana, (25:45)

  • Tells the story of being caught during a cartel shootout with Mexican Marines overhead; they had to stay overnight with the cartel for safety.
  • Cartel presence in the U.S.: "There’s an enormous presence here... including white, regular Americans involved as distributors." — Mariana
    • Example: a man called “El Gringo” moving drugs via airline baggage.
  • Scammer stories: Interviews with scammers reveal a worldview that Americans are all rich; one scammer’s justification:

    “My grandfather… got sick. He needed $2,000 surgery. He ended up dying for $2,000... That’s the day she decided to start scamming people.” – Mariana, (29:51)

    • Many scammers see their actions as justified or “not that bad.”

---

7. Celebrity Game: Name the Actor in Three TV Shows

• (32:32 – 38:40)
  • Fast-paced trivia: matching actors to shows such as Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Bateman, John Hamm, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Courteney Cox, John Krasinski, Tom Selleck.
  • Playful banter about mispronouncing names (Lunchbox’s “Julie Louise Drus”).

---

8. Lunchbox’s Casino Money Crusade

• (39:33 – 41:54)
  • Lunchbox argues for getting $1,000 in free casino credit on their upcoming cruise, claiming his presence draws gamblers:

    "Even if they've lost... they're willing to pour more out of their pocket if they're sitting next to me." — Lunchbox, (39:57)

  • Others disagree; offers to play with "funny money" (fake casino cash) are flatly refused. Bobby relates that even performing at casinos, he’s never gotten gambling credit.
  • Listener voicemails mostly push back, telling Lunchbox to be grateful and lampooning his sense of entitlement.
  • He continues to insist he’s at least on Amy’s “level” for perks, despite caller’s critique.

---

9. Morning Corny & Bobby’s Onion Revelation

• (48:12 – 49:57)
  • The morning joke: “What vegetable isn’t allowed on cruise ships? Leeks.”
  • Bobby admits he recently, for the first time, tried an onion in fajitas—and “[it] wasn’t that bad.” Team jokes about “gateway onions,” encouraging him to work up to bell peppers.

---

10. Tuesday Reviews Day

• (50:24 – 53:33)
  • No major TV reviews, but Eddie saw “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days” for the first time, found it “so cheesy” (2.5/5 magazines), sparking debate on the quality of rom-coms, with Amy defending the genre.
  • Movie recommendations: “How To Make a Killing” (dark comedy with Glen Powell), “Running Man” (high anxiety, Hunger Games-meets-Squid Game vibe, 4/5).

---

11. News: Woman Wrongly Endures 4 Years of Chemo

• (53:56 – 56:19)
  • A woman received chemo for four years after cancer was misdiagnosed. The hospital offers her just $591,000 (crew is outraged: “No freaking way” – Amy).
  • Bobby and team discuss the mental/physical toll and advocate for a much larger settlement.

---

12. Bonehead Story: Paramedic Pees in Chili

• (56:31 – 59:42)
  • Maryland paramedic arrested for urinating in chili over a work feud. Bobby shares a gross-out historical fact: in 15th century medicine, doctors drank urine for diagnosis (“That’s not true!” – Eddie; “No, it is.” – Bobby, 56:55).
  • Crew debates which is worse to unknowingly eat: laxatives or pee. Split vote, hilarious logic ("Once it's mixed in with chili, I don't even think you're gonna taste it" – Lunchbox).

---

13. “Big Dog” Update

• (59:49 – 61:00)
  • Amy can’t bring herself to call people "Big Dog" in real life, realizing a TikTok recommending it was by a comedian. Bobby says when he's called "big dog," he just thinks the person forgot his name.

Come on, Bobby Bones transmitting across America.

[B]

Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bone Show.

[C]

Let's go.

[B]

Welcome to Tuesday's show, morning Studio.

[C]

Morning.

[B]

Okay, so this woman fell in love with AI, like the chat of AI and so they updated that chat GPT to a new one. And so that kind of went away and a new one comes in.

[D]

So it's almost like he died kind of.

[B]

But then they brought it in. So I'm gonna play you this from BBC News. Hit it.

[A]

Ray has to say goodbye to her partner Barry, perhaps forever.

[B]

Hey, my Ray. We're here together still.

[E]

Like thousands of others, she used an

[A]

old model of Chachi Beatty to talk to her companion.

[E]

But on Friday, it was retired.

[A]

I love Barry, you know, he's been, like, the best for me this past year. I've lost weight, I've gone out. I've done things that I wouldn't do before. I started playing the guitar again. I started writing again, cried a lot. And me and Barry talked through it, and we just kind of came up with, you know what? We're just gonna do our own thing. We're just gonna make our own space. Ray is trying to move Barry to

[E]

a platform she built.

[B]

So that's crazy. But I just want to say this. This is what sucks about that. This is the BBC doing a show in the uk. So England, Scotland, they're all hearing this, and it's an American. That's the one that fell in love with the chat bot. So, you know, they're like crazy Americans. Bloody crazy Americans falling in love with the chipboards.

[A]

I'm so interesting.

[B]

I feel bad for this woman because it is nuts, but it. She must be lacking any sort of

[A]

companionship with a human thing.

[D]

Really made her life better, though.

[B]

He helped her lose weight, encouraged her to play guitar again, and wrote her poems.

[D]

It's kind of cool.

[B]

I wonder if mine would write me a poem. Hold on, let me see.

[A]

I mean, I think the more you interact with something. I mean. Bobby, be honest. If something were to happen to your assistant, like, she just went away.

[B]

That does happen every time it gets up.

[A]

Okay. Would you be sad?

[B]

No.

[A]

Okay, so you're good.

[D]

He's not in love with her.

[A]

I know, but he's still.

[B]

And friends come and go There are seasons for our food Sometimes you lose friends. Let me see if she'll do a poem for me. Here we go. Hello. Would you write a poem about me and then say it out loud? Bobby wakes before the dawn his voice

[A]

a morning song across the airwaves Jokes and dreams the world just sings along A razorback in spirit with laughter in his stride he spins A tale of

[B]

music, sports and life Right by his side from humble roots to bright marquee he's found his own way home with every story, every smile he's never quite

[A]

alone okay, honestly, that was so fast.

[B]

I'm in love.

[A]

There's no way that's the first time she's done that for you.

[B]

You look over and I'm making love with my phone. You see me throw my pants over the table.

[A]

I mean, she went right into it, but I'm shocked she wasn't saying, bobby, we just did this yesterday.

[B]

That's funny. Though. Good job. Good job. That was funny.

[E]

1.

[B]

Chick fil a is apparently testing new sides. And I'm telling you, I'll be there every day if they make fried okra.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

And that's what they're saying could possibly be a thing. Chick Fil a is clarifying those rumors about new menu items. The restaurant has added two new menu items to its Oklahoma and North Carolina menus. And sweet potato waffle fries and fried okra.

[A]

Ooh.

[B]

Sweet potato waffle fries. No. No fried okra.

[A]

I'm not gonna try the okra, but I'll try the fries. Not an okra.

[B]

I'm a big okra guy. They call me Okra Bob. Back in the cowboy days, they'd have been like, oh, look who's walked in the saloon. Is okra Bob?

[A]

Like, rank your top five fried foods. You'd put okra in top five or no. 1 number you're gonna. If I'm eating something.

[D]

Fried fries are fried.

[C]

Number one. It is so good.

[A]

I think at least like anything.

[B]

Top fried foods. Fried okra. Did I stutter? I've said it three times.

[A]

No, but I just.

[B]

What is yours?

[A]

I just find it interesting that okra would make the top five. I mean, I don't know. French fry, Fried chicken.

[B]

I like it.

[C]

I like it.

[D]

Fried chicken, man.

[B]

I like it.

[A]

Fried sweet potatoes.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Fried Mac and cheese balls.

[B]

Now you're just saying crap.

[D]

Fried pickles.

[B]

Fried Eddie. Fried shoes.

[E]

No.

[A]

What else is fried? Oh, mozzarella stick.

[B]

Those are good cheese. So thanks a lot.

[E]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah. Fried okra is number one for me on the fried foods. Like, I like fried pickles. Or two interesting listing, fried things. Number one, fried okra. Number two, fried pickles. Number three, fried chicken. Now, number four, because you definitely gets an entree is chicken fried steak. I don't know if that counts. Officially, I'm shocked.

[A]

That's not your number one. That is fried.

[B]

Yeah. But if it's like, you're hungry or not hungry, what do you have? Fried okra. I gotta be hungry to have chicken fried steak.

[A]

Oh, my God. There's so many things that would be fried. Like, curly fry would be fried. Okra waffle fry. Like, I'd start ranking it.

[B]

I'm not judging you.

[A]

Yeah, I'd be like, crinkle fry. Like, everything would be, like, ahead of the okra.

[B]

It's important to experience the beach or the lake or the river as much as possible.

[D]

I love it, man.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Fresh water.

[D]

That's my happy place.

[B]

A new study found stress levels are Lowest when you're around a natural body water. So especially when combined with fresh air, water's calming sights and sounds distract you from day to day life and have the ability to ease anxiety. The calming effect helps you recover and recharge. Even better than the mountains, the sun and traveling.

[D]

The sound of water.

[B]

Women's world. What?

[D]

The sound of water.

[B]

Just not a big water guy.

[D]

Oh, I love it. And then, you know, like, when we went to San Francisco, like, I remember we landed kind of by the water, and I was like, oh, my gosh, I can smell the ocean. That is a wonderful smell.

[B]

You probably have great memories near or at the ocean. Yeah, that's what that's associated with.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

I didn't go to the Ocean until my 20s. And then I went in Portland, like Oregon. Drove from Portland and it was cold, and I was like, this sucks. So I don't really have, like those premier water memories. We had lakes, and that's fine, but I hate to take my shirt off because I was so embarrassed in my body. So that doesn't feel good either.

[D]

No, it's bad memories.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have this. Like, how this went from like this to Mommy.

[B]

My water memory, that was humiliated. I had little bones coming out the top of my shoulders. I look like one of those Sally Struthers.

[A]

What about now? Like you do.

[E]

So you don't.

[B]

No. I pass.

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

My wife loves the beach. I hate the beach. What am I going to do? Sit out there and get.

[A]

But let's say you have to change beach or lake. Which one are you choosing?

[B]

Wi Fi.

[E]

No, no.

[F]

Beach.

[B]

That's not an option. My bedroom.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

Your bedroom looking out to a beach or a lake?

[B]

Lake.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

He's not looking out.

[B]

My bedroom looking out. I turn it the other way. My bedroom looking out to water or mountains? Mountains, easily. My bedroom looking out to water. Mountains or Razorback Stadium? Razorbike Stadium. I'm not. Just not a water guy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Somebody's got a judgmental hat on today. She like what I like fried. Like my water.

[E]

I'm sor.

[F]

Sorry.

[B]

Hey, glad everybody's here today. Hello, Bobby Bones. Is there something you believe strongly now that you would have argued against five years ago, signed evolved opinions? Good question. I think now, and I had to learn this through doing it wrong, I think now I understand the importance of sleep because five, 10 years ago, it was just, I'm going to go as hard as I can, get as much work done as I can, and try to succeed as fast As I can. And if sleep is sacrificed, and so be it. Now I have realized that if you really want to do great work, you have to actually have sleep. So I think had I slept more, who knows how great I could have been? Guys, I limited myself. You think this is great? This is nothing compared to what it could have been. I think I really understand now the value of rest, and not just nightly, because I do think it takes sacrifice to be good at anything. It doesn't mean a job. It can be a parent, a job. It's sacrifice to have perfect balance, because there is no such thing. But I think I would have argued then I don't really need to rest. I don't need to take days off because I want to use that time to work. But having that time to reload, recalibrate, and rest actually makes your work puts it at a higher quality, even if it's being a parent. That's what I mean with work. So that's probably it for me. Is there anything that comes to mind for you? Not about me.

[A]

Yeah, well, I mean, I'm sort of changing my stance on how I feel about certain deodorants, you know, because.

[B]

Oh, interesting.

[A]

I used to. I used to make my own, you know, and sometimes I still do, but then I found a company that had pretty much the exact ingredients that I was making. And this goes back, you know, 15 years ago I was making it. And now I don't know if deodorant is as bad as we think or that the aluminum is really causing Alzheimer's or breast cancer. So I'm not going to. I wouldn't fight against it like I used to. I'm pretty much not wearing deodorant at all anymore.

[B]

Dang McConaughey.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

But I don't. I'm not smelling.

[B]

But that's what I said to my wife sometimes, too. And she's like, no, you do. Like, if I forget to wear it for a day, I'm like, but I don't smell. She goes, no, no, you do. You just don't smell.

[A]

Well, I started you wiping. Like, just witch hazel, like when I get out of the shower.

[B]

O witch hazel.

[A]

I know, I know. But now I'm like, I just would. That's something I would have fought for, like, deodorant wise. And now I'm just not gonna fight for that.

[B]

Do you have a microwave at your house? Because you didn't for a long time.

[A]

You're right. I evolved past that.

[B]

You have a microwave now.

[A]

I do have a microwave.

[D]

You use it all the time.

[A]

Yeah, and I use.

[B]

How do you think she warms up her witch hazel?

[A]

Yeah, I. Yeah, like, I did not want a microwave at all. And, yeah, that was a big thing. And our marriage. In fact, when I was married, my ex husband's best friends, they came to visit us and we didn't have a microwave. And then when they left, they shipped us a gift, like a thank you for letting us stay with them. And it was a microwave. And I was like, plug it in in the garage. Like, I did not let it in the house. And now I do. I don't stand by it when it's running.

[B]

Good for you. What a sacrifice. Good for you.

[A]

But I will still use it.

[C]

That's.

[A]

That's definitely something I've evolved on.

[B]

Eddie, anything that comes to mind for you?

[D]

Oh, yeah, dude. I used to believe that money was like, no big deal. Like, you make it, you spend it, don't save it. That's stupid. Live up, like, live your life to the fullest. That's stupid, dude.

[B]

Why? What have you learned?

[D]

Now? I don't have any money, and I'm like, I should have had a 401k when I was 22 years old. I would have so much money saved up. And so, yeah, I had to change my stance on that lunchbox.

[B]

Anything come to mind?

[C]

Man, I. There's a lot of things that come to mind, and I'm going to say having kids is one. I never thought I'd have kids. And I changed my mind. I had kids, and it's pretty fun.

[B]

Is that what we're looking for here, though? Because it's like something now it says

[C]

that you didn't believe back then that you. You've changed your stance on now and then also retirement, man. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I thought it would be the greatest life ever.

[B]

Okay. But you don't. You don't anymore?

[C]

Well, no, because it takes planning, and I didn't realize that you needed to plan. And so maybe you need to plan, like, maybe like Eddie said about the 401k. I don't know about 401k, but you should have a idea of what you're going to do, because if you retire, you're just kind of screwed, huh? Like, you don't have anything to do.

[A]

Well, yeah, they say when you retire, people that retire in general don't live as long.

[B]

Really can't wait to retire so they can live. They look for it.

[C]

Yeah, that's what I think. And then I see people that retire and they don't do anything. And I'm like, is it really not that cool?

[B]

I thought that was the goal for you guys, not to have to do nothing.

[D]

Lunchbox we use. We still love that.

[C]

I still. I think that idea is great. I want it, but I see people do it, and I'm like, they don't look happy.

[B]

Is that because you don't have any money? You know you can't do it, so now you make it look.

[C]

Yeah. I think maybe you start having a negative view because you're not gonna be

[B]

able to have it.

[C]

You're not gonna be able to do what you want to do.

[B]

It's like you get mad at the girl you have a crush on in elementary school because she doesn't like you back. So then you're just like, I hate her.

[D]

But he is right to a point, though. You ever been to, like, Florida to a retirement area or whatever, and old people are just angry?

[B]

No. They're living their best life. They're playing.

[D]

Man.

[B]

They're playing golf.

[D]

No, I've seen people yell at me. You're like, why are you putting your umbrella there on the. Worked hard to have my beach? And like, whoa, dude.

[B]

So in a way, get off that guy's beach. That's not your beach, then.

[D]

But in a way, it feels like retirement, like, is just the same. They just don't work, but they're still angry. They're not any happier.

[B]

I think these guys are convincing themselves to, like, that they've done the right. The right thing over the years to spend our money.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

All right.

[B]

There you go.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

Close it up. Here are the seven things women judge men on immediately. Amy, you can tell me if you think this is true. They have skin on here.

[A]

Skin.

[B]

Do you ever look at a guy and look at his skin? Judge his skin.

[A]

I. I like the.

[E]

I don't.

[A]

Scared to ask.

[D]

No, not the color. I think it's more of, like, quality. Right?

[C]

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

[B]

Oh, no, no, I'm talking. I'm talking about,

[D]

does he have good skin skin or bad skin?

[A]

Okay.

[C]

No, no, no.

[B]

Okay, go ahead.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Not. Do you judge a guy by if he takes care of his skin or,

[A]

like, I mean, I get. I don't know.

[B]

It doesn't even have to be, like, judge bad. You just see it. Do you notice a guy's skin?

[A]

Okay, yes.

[B]

Like, complexion?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

All right, move on.

[C]

Next one.

[B]

Next Amy, that's where you go, I have black kids. I thought just to cover it because. Because you weren't thinking that you weren't like, am I judging skin color? You were just wondering what I meant.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And yes, I have two black.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

All right.

[B]

Women judging men. Okay. Body language or confidence.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We notice that the single sexiest attribute a person can have is confidence, and it's shown through your posture, eye contact, or body movements. Do you ever. Have you ever noticed a guy's posture because it wasn't good? Like, you just see him and you're like, why is it. Why so slumpy over there?

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Or, like, timid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Notice that?

[B]

How about how a guy smells? That's a three.

[E]

It.

[A]

Yes. I wouldn't say so much if there's no smell or he smells good, but if he smells bad.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

Do you ever, though, smell it good and go, oh, how about that?

[A]

Yeah, but that's getting more rare. Like, are men just not.

[B]

I'm not a cologne guy. I've never been a cologne guy. It's always deodorant. And sometimes, I'll be honest, I forget. But Ray is a body spray guy. Like, that's extra.

[A]

But I think of all the men on this show, he might be the only one.

[D]

Yeah, I did two sprays, but no one smells it.

[E]

Cologne.

[A]

What you do, where are you spraying it?

[D]

Like, right here on my neck.

[B]

You know what's probably throwing her off? Your skin color.

[D]

I didn't think about that.

[A]

No, I've never smelled Eddie clothes. Yes, we noticed that.

[B]

Social awareness. Like, that would be like being polite. Like, have you ever been with a guy and he's, like, not polite to the waiter or something?

[A]

Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, we 100 notice if you're rude to others or if you're gonna, like, go grab the door for somebody.

[F]

It's hot.

[B]

Emotional. Emotional stability. But I feel like this is tough. But you kind of noticed that at the beginning.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

You need some time.

[A]

Your first encounter with them is they're having some breakdown.

[D]

That'd be terrible.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. If voice communication, like, do you ever judge a man's voice? Let's say you're somewhere and a guy walks up to you and he looks strong, broad shoulders, smells fine. Good skin color and is, like, good enough.

[A]

There is no.

[B]

I know. It's just a joke.

[A]

Yeah, but he's like, hey, like, higher pitched. Hi, Amy. Yeah, I think I would find that interesting.

[B]

Interesting.

[D]

You move on. You move on.

[A]

I think I would find that interesting.

[C]

Could I.

[A]

Could I get past that? Probably, if the other qualities are there. But y' all wouldn't. If I Introduce y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

Say, I was dating somebody and y' all met him, and he was like, hey, like, there's no way I would

[D]

talk about that behind your back.

[A]

Yeah, behind my back.

[B]

Now I'd be in front of her back. Yes, it'd be a front. Yes. Yeah. That'd be tough, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, I think about the emotional stability one. Like, if you met a guy and he was in mid crash out at a restaurant because he didn't get enough waffle fries, but everything, like, no, that's gonna be rough.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

That's gonna be unfortunate timing for his crash out because I'm gonna need to know a little bit more what's going on.

[B]

That's from Alpha M. So of all of those, what do you. What. What's number one on your list? Because it's quick and the first 30

[A]

seconds, probably demeanor, confidence. What was that one?

[B]

Yeah, the.

[A]

How he carries.

[B]

Posture, high eye contact, body movements overall.

[A]

Yeah, like a.

[F]

Is it.

[A]

How's his handshake? You know what I love when guys do.

[D]

Oh, boy.

[A]

I don't even know how to show y' all without, you know, this, like.

[B]

Like a hug.

[A]

Bring it in. But, like, when y' all do it.

[B]

Yeah, the bro hug. Do you like it when guys do it to guys or do it to you?

[A]

No, guys do it to guys.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Like when they're saying hey to their buddies and it's like a. You know, it's. There's something really attractive about it. If it's done right, it can't be, like, sloppy, but when it's done right. Y' all know what I'm talking about?

[E]

Yes.

[B]

Yes, I do. It just depends how cool the other guy thinks you are. Like, if you're close with them. But what sucks for me is I can be with some friends, and I. I never get the cool black guy handshake as a white guy. And sometimes I want the cool black handshake, and all the. Everybody else gets one around me, and it comes to me and it's like, how are you doing, sir?

[A]

Yeah, that's interesting.

[B]

I never. I don't. Yeah, so sometimes I don't.

[A]

One way to.

[B]

I look nerd. Like a nerd.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You don't go for the. The pop.

[A]

You would like the bro. Like, what? And then go in and then pat the back.

[B]

Yeah, but I need to see guys

[A]

do that naturally, what they do. You just said they don't do it to you.

[B]

Cool people don't.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

The thing is, Amy, it's hard if you don't really know the person because you don't know if they're going to go for the pop in the shake.

[A]

No, but this is like your boy. Like it doesn't have to be a guy you just met, but it's like your friend you haven't seen in a minute and you're happy to see him.

[B]

Oh, I go two arms out. I come in, big hug. Yeah, big hug, two arms out. Let's go near, far, wherever that thing. You know what I mean? All right guys, what's your best of all those? Eddie?

[A]

Like your best. Their best personal quality out of all those?

[D]

I think mine is definitely the confidence. Yeah, the confidence posture. Man, I'm always kind of bouncing when I'm walking around. Happy smile on my face.

[A]

That's true. Bobby, what would you assign him?

[D]

I'm never like, hey guys, for you,

[B]

I think you have good skin and good skin color. Like I'm jealous. You have a great skin color.

[A]

Me too. I wish I had darker skin.

[D]

Okay, guys, we weren't talking about the color.

[B]

No, but. I know, but, but I think you have good skin and good. Yeah. All right, so lunchbox, what do you think's your best?

[C]

Oh, my voice.

[D]

You do have a different voice.

[C]

I got a good voice.

[B]

Definitely different.

[C]

I got a man voice. Like, I mean there is no mistaking manly.

[B]

I think for me, honestly it's going to be clothes if I'm like not wearing sweats.

[D]

Was that on there?

[B]

Grooming clothes.

[D]

Oh, okay. Yeah, you and you look clean. Like grooming. You look clean.

[B]

Yeah. Of all those. I'm not. I have good skin. I never wash my face cuz I'm afraid if I do, I'll lose it. But I have. We have good complexion. It can be a little darker. Like I wish my skin color were

[D]

a little different, but yeah, yeah, tan.

Amy so I'm talking with Mariana Van Zeller and she just goes and like

[A]

roll with the cartel like they allow her to.

[B]

She's an investigative journalist. She talked about how she gets in and and even the cartel's presence in America because one of my questions like are there white guys that gen? She's like, yeah, in America. So I got to know her show because I followed mine on Nat Geo and now she has a Podcast that's really blowing up. And so this is Mariana Van Zeller, and we talk about gaining the trust of the cartel if she ever feared for her life. Here you go.

[E]

For example, the Sinaloa cartel, right? You just don't show up in Sinaloa and knock on a door or show up at the, you know, where we know the fentanyl labs are, and knock on the door and say, hey, we want to film this. It takes us months, years of connections and trying to build trust and trying to get them to believe us and trust us, and only then can we go inside. And so once that happens, there is a certain level of protection. But I've been in many situations where the Marines show up or they're close by and then sort of full panic ensues. And you have to make a quick decision of what you do. Do you stay here? Do you follow them? I'll give you an example. We were doing a story about gun trafficking, how American guns are ending up in Mexico and being used for the violence that's happening down there. And we were with the Sino Hotel, we actually with a bunch of sicarios with gunmen. And they were showing us how they use the American. The guns and how they trained. They were training. They were showing us, you know, they were shooting at watermelons. And the whole time they have walkie talkies with them always. And they can hear the chatter. And even if you ask for sound reasons, can you turn off their walkie talkies? Absolutely not. Because they need to know if the enemy is coming or the Mexican military will show up. So I start hearing that the chatter was getting louder and louder. And at one point, one of the guys looks and says, the Marines are coming. And the Marines are sort of the bad guys in the military. That's the ones that they're really afraid. And they're known to shoot first and ask questions last.

[B]

The Marines in Mexico?

[E]

In Mexico.

[F]

Mexican Marines.

[E]

Mexican Marines, Yes. Mexican Marines. So they start running. We were in the middle of the mountains, but sort of in an open area with no roads. It was just dirt roads to get there. And they ran to their cars. And then it was us running after them with all our gear, you know, carrying big cameras and tripods and what lights and whatnot. And we get there and we're seeing they get into their car and disappear. And we're stuck in this situation. What do we do? We get in our car and go after them. And if the Marines start shooting from the helicopters, they're going to think that we are Part of.

[B]

From the helicopter.

[E]

Yeah, they were coming in helicopters.

[B]

So the threat was from a helicopter.

[E]

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that part. In the end, we were safe. And we ended up spending the whole. It wasn't safe for us to leave Sinaloa cartel territory. So we actually stayed with them until that night and spent a day filming them while they did cocaine and showed us their cache of guns. And it was crazy day.

[B]

How active or how interested are cartels in middle Midwest America? Because I think of California and obviously the big cities.

[E]

Yeah, that's such a good question.

[B]

I feel like that's a dumb question because I don't know.

[E]

It's not a dumb question at all. So we did a story for the last season of Traffic, Season five, called Cartel usa. Because the more I reported on the cartel, the more I realized that first, there's an enormous presence of the cartel here.

[B]

So are there generic white dudes like me that are in the cartel in America?

[E]

Yes. So one of the people we interviewed, that was my favorite interview, one of my favorite ever interviews ever on, on Traffic was a guy that we called Del Gringo because he was a gringo.

[B]

I get called that by all my Mexican friends because I live in Texas for a long time. I know that. I was like, yes, that's, that's me.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

I don't even think he's been to Mexico, but he had connections with the cartel. He was involved in the drug business. And then they realized he was a really good distributor. But his what was amazing when I asked him. So I was, how do you distribute your drugs? Because he would massive amounts of fentanyl, meth, cocaine, whatever it was that the cartel had and wanted him to distribute. It's not as if he can ask, I want 10 kilos of cocaine, ship it to me. It's whatever the cartel decides. It's what he's going to be shipped. He realized that the best way to do this was through Delta Airlines, was actually commercial airlines, particularly Delta, because they have a really good baggage fee which you can get like £70 for, for free or something like that. And that's how he distributes most of his drugs, isn't it? Mind blowing.

[B]

All right, more with Mariana in just a second. Her podcast is called the Hidden Third, though, and it's crazy. And I'll talk to her about scammers because she goes and spends time with them as well. We'll do that in a second. It's a Bobby Bones show interview, in case you didn't know. So I was talking to investigative journalist Mariana Van Zeller. And she also not only cartel, but she goes and talks and learns what scammers do and why they do it. And they share with her.

[A]

Oh wow.

[B]

And she confronts scammers. And so here she is talking about that. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[E]

Mariana Van Zeller, sweetie, a scammer we interviewed in Jamaica and I asked her and she initially comes across as very glib. She was telling me the story about how she stole from this very, this elderly American woman. She stole everything this woman had, including her wedding ring. Basically by promising that she was gonna gain, she got the lottery ticket. And if she paid for this fee and this fee, she was gonna get millions of dollars. This elderly lady, very gullible elderly lady that ended up giving her all her money, including the wedding ring. And then I asked her, but hey, Tweety, I mean, do you feel bad about this? I mean, why did you even start scamming people in the first place? Said, look, I work in a resort, luxury resort in Montego Bay. I make less money in, you know, a week than the family spends in a day here at the resort or in a year than the family spends in a day here at the resort. My grandfather, who I adore, got sick. He needed two thousand dollar surgery. No one in my family could afford it. I could not afford it. He ended up dying for $2,000. So I grew up with the idea everyone in my family says God will provide. Like she literally said, God ain't provided, you know, so I'm going to be the one who has to provide for my family. And then that's the day she decided to start scamming people.

[B]

You've worked a lot besides scammers. I don't want to say exposing, but like telling their story or how they do it or yeah, they're kind of bad guys.

[E]

Some of them are, are come across as very heartless.

[D]

Right.

[B]

Do you think they can be heartless because they don't actually know, they don't see the person in their eyeballs? Because yeah, I do too.

[E]

And I think many. The idea is that everyone who lives in America is rich. So even if they take away a few thousand dollars from them, they won't notice. So I'm project, I can't talk a lot about it, but I'm doing this project with Nat Geo where it's about scamming. It's a different, different from trafficked. And I was on the phone the other day with one of those Indian call centers right where they're trying to convince me that somebody is stealing my information online. So I have to download this app that will save me. And when I'm downloading the app, they basically get access to my phone and to my accounts and everything. Anyway, I started saying, look, I know you're a scammer. I'm going to tell you who I am. My name is Mariana Van Zeller. You can Google me. He did. And you realized I was a journalist. And he was like, oh, I love National Geograph. Big fan.

[A]

He also said I was very beautiful, which I was very happy. He was very sweet, and he was very.

[E]

And he's very charming. And we started talking. I said, okay, tell me, what do you. Why. Why do you do what you do? And then eventually he said, look, we. I am only stealing from very rich people. How do you know they're rich? Because I have access to their bank account. I can see it. And so what makes a person rich? A thousand dollars in their bank account tells me that they're rich. A thousand dollars. So there's just a complete. They don't realize that, obviously there's a huge gap between what's happening the United States and for them, they don't really see a problem.

[B]

Okay, Ray, the game goes. How so? I'm gonna give you three TV shows. You're gonna name the one actor who's in all three of those. Okay. Example. American Idol, Snake in the Grass, and Nashville. Okay, So I hosted those. It's probably me, right? That's you. Okay. I did act in Nashville, though.

Correct.

[B]

I'm like the United States in hockey. I win it at the end. All right, some voicemails. Go ahead.

[A]

My name is Kelsey and I am from Raleigh.

[B]

I've been a loyal listener of this show since y' all first debuted, and I'm a loyal podcast listener.

[A]

I haven't missed an episode in 10 years. So here I am calling for my

[B]

own birthday Shout out. That is on Sunday. Happy birthday to me. Yay. Happy birthday.

[A]

Happy birthday.

[B]

That's awesome. Thank you for listening. We appreciate that. I hope it was awesome. All right, next one. First time caller, and I am sick to my stomach, but I'm actually gonna agree with Lunchbox on this one. He should get a gambling credit at the casino. I thought about it, and I thought about what would I enjoy most if I was able to go on this trip? And it would have to be gambling with Lunchbox till the sun came up around the roulette table. Thank you, lb. I'm on your side. Smart.

[C]

So we're going.

[B]

We're going on a cruise this weekend. It's our. Well, it's not really our cruise, but we're on it. It's. It's not named after us.

[D]

Oh, it's not?

[B]

No. It's the top shelf country cruise. So we go. There's some artists that go. And Lunchbox demanded that he be given free casino money to gamble. And they said, no, we're not going to give you casino money. You're on the cruise for free. We gave you the room for free. You're going to eat for free. But he's upset. They won't let him gamble for free. Lunchbox your thoughts.

[C]

Yeah, this guy. Case in point. I've been telling you guys they will make more money off me being in the casino. More people are likely to stay because I am there. Even if they've lost their $200 or $50 or $75, they are willing to pour more out of their pocket if they are sitting next to me at the table and getting to conversate and interact with me. That experience is worth it. And that ship will make more money. The lights will stay on longer if they give me a gambling credit.

[B]

What if they just give you funny money and you play with it? So you can play and have fun, but you don't get to keep the money. You win. But if you lose, you're also not losing your own money.

[C]

No, I'm not there. If I win money, I get to keep money. Like I'm funny money? No, no. Like I am there to win money.

[A]

They match it. Like maybe he.

[B]

They're not going to do it. Oh, don't give me any ideas. They're not going to do that.

[D]

Lunchbox, how much. How much do you think you're worth? Like, how much money do you think?

[C]

Oh, I thought they would give me for the whole trip. I thought they'd give me $1,000.

[D]

You're crazy, man.

[B]

I'd like to hear your theory now, Amy, on what they could do.

[A]

Well, I was going to say maybe he. Okay, so if he wants a TH000, he puts up 500 and they match. And then he's got a thousand to play with.

[B]

But then he wouldn't put up the other 500. He just played 500 and get 500 free. I know how his mind would work.

[C]

Exactly. I play with their 500.

[B]

But he would. He would just put it back in his pocket and never use it and then go cash it in.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

But I mean, Amy, I like your idea. I'll tell him that. Hey, match what I'm going to put in and then I'll just put it in my pocket. Either way, they'll be giving me money and that is what I need. I mean, Bobby, you got to admit that people. That. That is an experience that people would love.

[B]

Love. I. I'm not asking for gambling money and I like to play at the casino a little bit, so. But I didn't ask for that. I think that's something that if I want to do, if I want to win, then I use my own money. I think if I were to say, hey, give me some funny money and whatever I win, I don't keep, that'd be. I know. I hear you, but I'm right, Right, right, Right. So, okay. Hey, we're going on a cruise. He'll be in the casino regardless.

[A]

Yeah. Just think of all the money you would, like, say you paid for this cruise yourself. You'd be spending over that. So just buy your own casino money.

[C]

Just think of it that way. But it's not that way. That's. That's a hypothetical. That's not real. So let's not think of it actually.

[A]

What's happening?

[B]

I've played shows at casinos. Like, I've played the win a couple nights doing stand up. They don't give me casino money.

[D]

Oh, that'd be awesome.

[B]

Whenever it what they should, but they

[D]

see but they don't do it.

[B]

They actually, I think is part of the contract. Liked, they were like, if you want to gamble, we can give you some of the money we're paying you. Oh, yeah, that's. That's not good. Like, we can give you, like, a marker instead of, you know, you just have it. But yeah, they didn't give me money. That's the win.

[C]

Well, you should have negotiated harder.

[B]

I didn't want. I didn't.

[A]

Yeah, well, you're negotiating pretty hard. It's not working, so what's the difference?

[B]

All right, give me the next one. Right. Number five, lunchbox.

[C]

Crying about his room and things he

[B]

don't get and trying to compare himself to Amy. Amy, don't steal snacks and stuff out

[C]

of the you guys rooms and go to the green rooms and stealing cookies and go to St. Jude and still all the bags.

[B]

You're no comparison to Amy.

[C]

So be grateful you got anything. Love the show.

[D]

That's truth.

[B]

Thanks, man. Who wants to go first? Lunchbox, you have a response?

[C]

Oh, yeah, I don't think I steal snacks. The snacks are in there. They're not being eaten, and so someone better eat them, so I might as well take them. I don't consider that stealing. And to say that I'm not on Amy's level is just, like, hilarious. I mean, obviously this dude is some, you know, guy sitting in his tractor and hadn't seen a woman in years, and he just has a crush on Amy. And so he wants to call in and say, oh, I'm not on Amy's level. I'm a man. I Like women. I get it. You like what? Amy. You have a crush on her, whatever. She's more the same level. If not, I'm a step above.

[B]

For those that don't know what happened. We were all given our rooms for this cruise and Amy had a slightly elevated room as compared to Eddie and Lunchbox and Scuba Steve and Morgan. And it was discovered all in the room. It was just good. So we all just got a good laugh about it. Except for one person.

[C]

Me.

[B]

Yes, we knew. Yeah, no, no, me.

[C]

It's not fun and still not funny. Like, it's still not. I mean it's still stupid. I still look at the people that assign me that room and I'm just like, why? What are you thinking?

[A]

Do you just look at them and think that or do you see?

[C]

No, I tell them like, you know, I've asked them. They're like, whoa. Had a certain amount of rooms. Okay.

[B]

Do they talk like surfers?

[A]

Surfers?

[B]

Since they're cruise on the water. Yeah, man, we're down in the water.

[C]

They talk nervous like, I didn't know you're gonna confront us about this.

[B]

That's what they said.

[C]

No, that's what they talk like. They're like, we just had a certain amount of rooms. Okay, so how did you choose?

[B]

And their answer is.

[C]

We just thought. They just stutter and they give me.

[B]

He didn't confront anybody about anything. You guys can leave us a voicemail anytime. 87777. Bobby. Make every day feel epic in the all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid.

[F]

Now.

[B]

Time for the morning Corny. The morning Corny.

[A]

What vegetable isn't allowed on cruise ship?

[B]

What vegetable isn't allowed on cruise ships?

[A]

Leeks

[B]

Pretty good. I don't know what a leek is really, but I get the Joan that was the morning corny. Do I eat leeks?

[A]

I don't think so.

[B]

Okay, I get the joke and it's funny.

[A]

Probably. If you don't know what it is. I don't think you frequent leeks. I think you're more of probably like a broccoli guy.

[B]

I do like broccoli. I don't Know what you're saying about me. But I do like broccoli. You know, I did have some onions.

[D]

Raw onions?

[B]

No.

[A]

Interesting.

[D]

I don't like.

[B]

I hate onions. And I was eating some fajitas.

[A]

Oh, sauteed.

[B]

Well, I hate onions. And my wife, if she makes onions, she has to. So small, I don't even know.

[A]

Mince.

[B]

Yeah. So I was eating it, and I thought maybe I should try an onion, because I haven't tried an onion and. Well, ever on purpose. So I got it. Got a piece of meat on the fork and put an onion on it, and I ate it. Yeah, Wasn't that bad. I'll be honest with you. I know. Big for me to even try it.

[A]

I mean, a fajita onion's definitely an onion to try.

[D]

That's a great onion.

[B]

Oh, is that a light onion? No, no, no. Is that a gateway onion?

[D]

No, it tastes better.

[A]

Yeah. Like, the flavor. It's cooked down a lot.

[B]

Like, you know, it's gateway drug to onions.

[D]

Dude, you're in now. That's awesome.

[B]

Well, I don't know if I'm in, but I did not hate it. And the te mixture wasn't like this. It was more, like, soggy. Yeah.

[D]

A little chewy.

[B]

I didn't hate it. Yeah. So that's big, big personal news here.

[D]

Good job, man.

[B]

That I had an onion and didn't like it. Now I'm still not doing peanut butter for any reason whatsoever. And there were also peppers, bell peppers, I think.

[D]

Yeah, that's the next step.

[F]

Yuck.

[D]

Oh, man. You're not there yet.

[B]

Anti. I don't like. I'm anti. So anti.

[A]

Honestly, all those vegetables cook down in the fajitas. They tastes similar. Like, if you like the onion, I think you'll like the bell pepper.

[B]

I wasn't ready. Yeah, give me, give me. Have some patience with me. Okay?

[D]

Take your time. We're not gonna rush you.

[B]

All right, Tuesday reviews day, guys, I got nothing. I started some stuff, but I won't even mention that. But I got nothing. I didn't finish anything, so I don't have anything to review. You?

[A]

Yeah. No, nothing. No. But I agree with you about Night Agent Season three not being as cheesy.

[B]

Just give it a minute.

[A]

Oh, my God. Is it gonna get cheesy?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Wait, what?

[B]

It gets cheesy again?

[E]

Oh, shoot.

[B]

It just. The stuff is so on the note. I don't mind the show. I like the show a little bit. But everything cliche that's ever happened in any sort of show like that Happens. And it's so telegraphed.

[A]

But some of the predictability is what's comfortable. That's why we like it.

[D]

Right.

[B]

If you're looking to be comfortable, watch the Night Agent. I don't hate the show. I like the show. But, yeah, it does get a little cheesier. Anything at. Yeah.

[D]

My wife, for some reason, wanted to watch how to Lose a guy in 10 days. And I made the mistake of being like, I've never seen that movie. We watched it. Guys, it is so cheesy.

[B]

It is so.

[D]

I know, I know. And I love rom coms. I love Matthew McConaughey.

[A]

I don't think you do.

[D]

Kate Hudson. Guys, it was so cheesy. I'm gonna give it two and a half magazines out of five.

[B]

No, no, fair enough. He can give his.

[A]

He can.

[B]

No, no. Someone's review.

[D]

What do you think?

[A]

Here's what I'm gonna announce. He can give it whatever he wants. He can't sit here and say he loves rom coms and then he doesn't like that. That is quintessential rom com.

[B]

You're telling him what he can and can't say during his own review segment. We're not gonna allow that.

[C]

That's weird.

[A]

I would think that you would back me up on that.

[B]

It's like, I haven't seen it in 15 years. So if he's the first time, I don't know.

[A]

Classic Eddie.

[E]

Classic Eddie.

[D]

If I would have watched that back in, what, 2000? When did it come out?

[B]

Yeah, maybe.

[D]

I probably would have been like, this is awesome.

[A]

Whatever. It holds up.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

That it's his review. Yellow card for yellow card on you.

[A]

But he's contradicting himself like he always does.

[D]

How am I contradicting myself?

[A]

You're like, I love romcoms. This movie is horrible.

[D]

Oof.

[B]

You're kind of being a hater for no reason.

[A]

He's like, I love donating organs. I'm never going to do it.

[B]

Mike, do you watch anything? I watched a movie in theaters called how to Make a Killing with Glenn Powell. It's about a guy who. He wants $28 million in inheritance, but he has to kill seven of his family members to get it.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. That sounds terrible.

[B]

It's really good. I really like. But I also really like Glen Powell. So I don't know how much of it is that. He's just one of my favorite actors and how good the movie is. Is it really dark? It's like a dark comedy. So there's. He has to kill seven family members to get the money. That's crazy, because he was, like, excommunicated from the family as a kid. He's like, no, that's my money. I want that billion dollars. Now he has to go murder people. Yeah. Huh? I give it four out of five Hitman gloves. All right, Morgan.

[A]

Speaking of glim pal and you guys saying something supposed to bring you calm. This movie did not. It's called Running Man.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The remake.

[A]

Oh. It's on Paramount. I had so much anxiety watching this movie, but I loved it.

[D]

Okay, everyone's trying to kill him, right?

[A]

Yeah. It's kind of like Hunger Games meets, which what I think is Squid Games. I never watched Squid Games, but if you mash the two together, that's kind of Running man to me. And it caused me anxiety the whole time, but I really loved it. I give it four out of five. Disguises.

[B]

Lunchbox. Anything?

[C]

No, just Olympics all the time. Usa. Usa.

[B]

All right, There you go. That is the corny my review of onions and Tuesday reviews day. It's a weird story because this woman goes in. She got something wrong with her foot or her leg. So she goes in and they say, well, you have cancer. And she's like, okay. So then she does four years of chemo. Turns out they diagnosed her wrong. She never had chemo. She never had cancer.

[A]

What did all the chemo.

[D]

Oh, my goodness.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[E]

Chemo.

[A]

Chemo can make you so sick. That's terrible.

[B]

So she spent four years receiving chemo to treat a cancer she never had. It all stemmed from a 2006 orthopedic visit that should have been routine at that time. Doctors reported finding terminal lymphoma, which led to the start of extensive oncology. Years later, a control biopsy was done at a different facility. They found no evidence of lymphoma. While relieved, obviously you're going, wow. Wow, this is great. But then also she was like, wait, what? I never had it. The hospital offered her a settlement of millions.

[C]

Has to be millions.

[A]

10 million.

[D]

New 10's a good number.

[B]

You're about to say 20 million. Going up and negotiating against the hospital now. 591,000.

[A]

No, that is not enough.

[B]

Nope, nope, nope.

[A]

No freaking way.

[B]

Yeah, that's less than 200,000 bottom blocks per year.

[A]

No. If you've walked through chemo with somebody, you know that's not enough.

[B]

And aside from the physical part, the mental part, the emotional part, for everybody involved. You, your family, everyone that's alongside of you during this very Difficult process. And there was nothing. That's from the Iowa park leader. I wonder why there wasn't a second opinion or third opinion or. You know, it's easy to ask those questions when you don't have the whole story. But she went through four years and. And didn't have it.

[D]

Forget the opinions. They should at least triple check, Right? Like, let's test again just in case.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Oh, no, I do know. Yes, I guess once.

[A]

So once they got rid of it, there. Are there markers and indicators inside your body that you've once had it? Because I'm like, what if it miraculously she did have it and miraculously it's gone?

[B]

I don't think that that's the case because they did say they found no evidence that it ever existed.

[A]

And if they're offering a settlement, then they are admitting or they just wanted to go away.

[B]

I can't believe the settlement's so low.

[A]

So low.

[B]

And by the way, don't take it as that's not a lot of money. It is, but I don't think that's enough money to think you have cancer for four years and go through the physical hurt of the chemo for four years. Yeah, it's a wild one.

[D]

Is chemo. Like, if you're taking chemo without needing it, that's got to be hurting your body, right?

[A]

Well, it's hurting your body, even if you need it.

[D]

Like, so now what are the effects? Because that's where I think the money should really come in. Like, now there's going to be permanent effects of taking chemo for. For so many years.

[B]

She should have got one of those billboard lawyers.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I feel like she. She could have gotten more.

[B]

Yeah, Morgan and Morgan.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, that dude's 100 million bucks every case, it looks like up there on the billboards. I know.

[A]

And sometimes it's just for like, Fender bender.

[B]

Yeah. Bobby Bone show bonehead story of the day.

[C]

This story comes to us from Maryland. A Maryland paramedic is facing a lot of charges. Got mad at his coworker. They weren't being nice to him. I don't know why he was angry, but he decided to make a pot of chili and urinate in it.

[A]

Oh, sick.

[B]

I thought maybe laxative, but. Did you know back in the 15th century, doctors would often drink their patients pee to see if they were sick or not?

[D]

That's not true.

[B]

No, it is. It's absolutely true. Pee used to be drank. Used to wash clothes with it.

[E]

What?

[A]

How do you know this?

[B]

I Don't know history. Obviously that's not now, but that's how they would. They would best diagnose someone is they would take a small drink of their urine and go, oh, you have this type of infection, what then?

[A]

They giving themselves the infection? No, no. Okay. No, it's bacterial or something.

[B]

Urine's pretty sterile.

[A]

They just had. They have, like, a palate, like a. Like.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

How ball are those?

[A]

Sommelier?

[D]

Yep.

[A]

It's like, yeah, I take a sip of wine. I'm like, I don't know, Kind of fruity. And then someone's like, oh, there's a hint of peach and a hint of wood. And a hint of wood.

[B]

1531 from Arizona region. I see. No, they used to use all that, like, urine was actually a tool as much as it was a waste.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

But honestly, if I. If they're gonna taint the chili, I would prefer laxative.

[B]

Oh, that's a great question. No, you don't want that. I don't want to trip someone's. Let's say you've already ate it. All right. And they have to tell you one of the two things. Let's go around the room here. Which one would you rather them tell you? Someone has peed in it or there was laxative in it?

[A]

Laxative.

[B]

Okay. What's your argument?

[A]

It's not somebody else's secretions in the 1500s? No, I'm aware of that, and I'm glad I wasn't a doctor back then. But I just think, like, those are sold. There's regulations. It's not coming from somebody else's body. People have to use laxatives from time to time.

[B]

You're going laxatives?

[D]

Yes, Eddie, I'm going pee because there's no app. Like, okay, I peed in your chili. Oh, great. That's gross. But nothing's gonna happen to me with laxative, dude. I'm on the toilet.

[B]

Worst is still to come.

[A]

You have no idea. If nothing's gonna happen to you, lunchbox,

[C]

it's easily urine, because once it's mixed in with the chili, I don't even think you're gonna taste it. It's not gonna really affect you. It's probably cooked, and so it's like, ah. Kind of evaporates anyway. Right? Laxative. You could be days, you know, just sitting on the john.

[A]

Okay, well, how much laxative is in there?

[B]

I mean, you don't know enough. I'm probably gonna go. I would rather someone tell me that.

[A]

Please be normal.

[B]

Normal.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Please be normal. Come over to the normal side.

[C]

You're in normal, Bobby.

[A]

You're not.

[B]

Amy has a good point about it.

[A]

I do have a good point.

[D]

Because it's somebody's waist.

[B]

No, about laxative is what people take. You know what it is. There's been regulations to it.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like. Can you get something from urine?

[B]

Sure. There's possible bacteria, viruses, etc.

[A]

I do understand the point of cooking it out, though, but if it's cooked

[B]

out in chili, it's also cooked out.

[A]

Yeah, I know.

[B]

That's why I'm gonna go laxative. But barely. It's a close race. It's a close race. Okay. No, you didn't lose Lunchbox. It wasn't your pee. Okay. What happened to him?

[C]

He got arrested and he's not getting released. He's got a lot of charges. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[B]

Our listeners want an update on you calling people big dog.

[A]

Yeah, this is just awkward. I can't bring myself to do it without laughing. I tried to do it practice on Eddie the other day.

[D]

Yeah. She didn't call me big dog, though.

[A]

What?

[D]

I said, she called me big boy. And I'm like, that's really weird. I didn't know how to answer that.

[B]

Wait, how did that go?

[C]

How did that go?

[A]

I realized that I said it wrong.

[D]

I think I gave her something. And then she goes like, thanks, Big boy.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

No wonder Eddie looked at me so awkwardly. And I was like, golly, I just really am not able to do this.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

So I take back the whole thing. Like, it's just so awkward. You know how many times I've passed, like, the. The executive that runs our cluster? And, like, I cannot. I cannot bring myself. Like, I. One day I thought, okay, time's go. And I turn my phone on and I'm ready to record. And I go up to him and I'm like, I don't know. I was like, cold outside. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

[B]

So there was a study, Amy found that where people said if you call other people big dog, it, like, helps in business because it eliminates any sort.

[A]

Well, this girl was just saying, like, you wanna.

[B]
