Bobby Bones
Welcome to Tuesday's show, Morning Studio. Morning, Amy. What do you have?
Eddie
I saw something on Instagram where you know traditionally who's giving the speech at graduation? The valedictorian. Well, this was a little thing about having the person with the worst grades in the class also speak. So you have the valedictorian speak and then you also hear from the other end of the spectrum so you can get a full picture.
Raymundo
That is awesome.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not. Why do they want the worst? Why do they want the worst? To speak like what?
Eddie
To hear from both sides.
Bobby Bones
There's. This is not a court case. You don't need both sides.
Raymundo
What kind of advice would the worst student give you?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I don't want that advice.
Eddie
Exceed or excel at grades like the valedictorian doesn't mean they don't have wisdom to offer.
Bobby Bones
Boom. I'm going to say why this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard because I agree that you don't have to be the valedictorian. For example, I give a few scholarships every year to my school that I graduated from and it is not for a students. It's called the don't be skipping class scholarship as long as you have a C average. But you show that you show up to things and you try and you put an effort. Doesn't even have to be in classes specifically. I think those type of people are the kind of people that have been very successful in life. I would love to hear from one of those. But you're going to go to the very bottom. Somebody who didn't put any effort in at all. If you want to go mid and you pick somebody who wasn't valedictorian but led in other ways, I'm all for it. But why are you going to pick the kid who barely got through? Because it's not somebody who struggled. We know the kid who barely got through that was somebody who didn't care. And you're going to have them speak at graduation. They're getting rewarded for not caring and barely getting through.
Eddie
I don't know if they're getting rewarded.
Bobby Bones
But they're getting by speaking at graduation.
Eddie
And maybe it could change the trajectory of their life. They're like, oh, wow, I'm not being ignored here.
Lunchbox
Also, the last. The person that got last, he doesn't want to give a speech anyway because that's More effort. They got to put force. I'm sorry. They're probably.
Bobby Bones
I think the person would want to. The last. The person with last. No.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
But does anybody ever really know that they're last? Like, because you know that, you know, if you're in the top 50%, you're in the top 25, you know the percentage you fall in. But do you know ever if you're the last?
Bobby Bones
Last. Last.
Raymundo
That'd be tough.
Bobby Bones
But they in some schools tell you where you fell. Like you're third. Out of what?
Eddie
Well, I guess. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think it's a bad idea to do last. I think it's a good idea to let somebody who wasn't the valedictorian speak that has something to speak about.
Eddie
I can get on board with that.
Bobby Bones
But last, you're begging for him to, like, pull out his wiener or something on stage.
Raymundo
For sure you do something funny.
Bobby Bones
Yes, that's because that's that. That's that kid. And for sure it's a he. Yes, yes, both are true. Bones.

It's the anonymous in box.
Bobby Bones
Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mail.
Lunchbox
Hello, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Bones. I'm in a bit of a tricky spot. I've recently reconnected with someone who happens to be my friend's ex. They broke up a few months ago, and nothing ever happened between us, but now there seems to be a real spark. Not trying to be shady. I really do care about my friend, which is why I'm hesitating. How much time has to pass before it's okay to date a friend's ex? And does it make a difference if the friend has moved on or if it wasn't a super serious relationship? Signed, Finding a new flame. I think there are a lot of factors, but the first thing you have to do before all the other factors is talk to your friend. So I could say, yeah, it matters a little bit if they moved on, but how did that break up? Like, why did it happen? Because if the dude dumped her, she's probably holding on to it a little bit, even if she was with somebody new. There are a lot of factors, but the number one thing you have to do is actually go and speak to the elephant in the room, which is your friend, and then, and this is not fair to you, then you have to somewhat guess how she's really feeling by what she's saying, because what she's going to say is, I. I don't. I don't really care, because she's going to say that. But you're going to have to figure out if she's truthful in that because she. She's with somebody new, she can't say, yeah, it would bother me. She's gonna go, I don't really care. And so it's up to you to then navigate your way through that to understand if she's being completely truthful. Now, that doesn't mean you can't date the dude, but you have to understand the repercussions that are going to come. And I hate to use the word consequences because I feel so negative, because you're not doing anything wrong if you have the communication, but there could be consequences because that's just human dynamics. Like, your best friend probably doesn't want you to be with their ex unless they really don't care. But nobody knows your best friend like you do. So the number one thing you have to do is you have to have a conversation and. And don't beat around the bush. You need to go immediately be like, hey, let's just say his name's Chad, because I like the name Chad. Chad.
Raymundo
That's a cool name.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. You say, hey, I know you're with Mark, but Chad's kind of reached out. Would that be weird if I went on a date with him? You'll be able to see everything right there. Now, that doesn't mean you don't have to do it if she. But you just need to talk to her first, because the worst thing that can happen if she finds out without you telling her.
Eddie
Yeah, My ex husband asked out one of my friends.
Lunchbox
What?
Raymundo
Well, that's weird.
Bobby Bones
And I said no. I said, you know what? Amy and I have been close for a long time, and I, you know, I'm not. But.
Eddie
Yeah, but she came to me. She came to me and asked, and she wasn't even. She said, first of all, I'm not going to, but I just wanted to let you know. She's like, but I. I wouldn't want to even, like, have a hint of stress on our relationship for that. And I was like, hey, honestly, I. That'd be kind of fun.
Bobby Bones
But I do think, even though you're not against it, it would have been like something that sat in you and.
Eddie
Was weird maybe if it really, really happened. But.
Bobby Bones
And you'd had to work through it, and you could have. And you would have.
Eddie
Could have been a.
Bobby Bones
Would have because you're a good friend. But it's still. Even if you would have said it's okay, it still would have Been something. And I just want this person to know that, too. It's going to be something. Yeah, that. Yeah. That's weird.
Eddie
Yeah, it was. I guess I never talked about it, huh?
Bobby Bones
Because if you're also at the table, he's like, got him both.
Raymundo
These are my girls.
Bobby Bones
That's what I'm saying.
Eddie
In my mind, I jumped to like, well, I really like you. And, I mean, we'd all get along. How fun would that be? But.
Raymundo
But, Amy, Bobby's saying what we would really be.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If it's a dude and this is the person used to be with. But they're like, cool. Be with this person. You've been with both of them. You're sitting at the table, like, what's up? I got both.
Raymundo
This is the king of the table.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You don't say that. But you're like, I'm Genghis Khan. I've conquered this whole table.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I have a conversation with her and then walk with caution after that. I think it's fine. You just need to make sure how to make it fine. All right. There you go. It's a Bobby Bones show interview, in case you didn't know. This is Eric Church. He has a new album out called Evangeline vs. The Machine, and tickets to his free the Machine tour go on sale this Friday. So, Eric Church, we talk about Michael Jordan, his Nashville origin story, selling knives, and he got fired from that job. So now Eric Church on the Bobby Bone Show. Now, Eric Church. Eric, good to see you. You, too, Bobby. All right. Do you have Carolina blue one on purpose underneath? Is it? Yeah, yeah. I mean, most every. Well, I don't. Oh, I do, too, but not on purpose.
Scuba Steve
You do? Yeah, you do.
Bobby Bones
This wasn't in your honor. I appreciate most everything I have has a hog on it or a razorback on it.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like red or phone or a lot of my clothes. Do you have North Carolina stuff everywhere? And, like, you're.
Scuba Steve
And now. And now. Which is weirder. But we're involved with the Hornets, too. So I have purple and teal. So it's Carolina blue and purple and teal.
Bobby Bones
What do you mean, involved with the Hornets? Are you part of the ownership?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I got to be friends with MJ a few years back, and when he sold the team, and it was one of the weirder calls you ever get in your life. But MJ goes, hey, I want you to be involved with the Hornets ownership group. I was like, what does that mean? He said, I want North Carolina presence. I want people that are local the group that's buying, it's out of New York private equity. And he said, I want you to. I want you to do it. He said, I'll help you if you need help. But he said, I want you to be involved so you don't say no to Michael Jordan. So I got involved.
Bobby Bones
That's super cool in a couple of ways. One, because it is Michael Jordan, the greatest athlete or pop culture sports figure in our lifetime, I think. Right. It's like Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, 100%. Two, that Michael Jordan played for North Carolina.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Bobby Bones
And for you, that's such a personal thing.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Bobby Bones
And that now. Yeah. That you talk to him on the phone. That I don't been like put on speakerphone, recording it. Why did you move to Nashville? Was it to write songs or was it to be an artist? And writing songs was going to get you to that place to be an artist, write songs. What you pack up and what you. What'd you move into when you got here?
Scuba Steve
I came to town in a two tone 1986 Chevy Blazer and I had a guitar, had a duffel bag. Came to Broadway because that's where the Ramen was. That's where, you know, tootsies is. That's where, you know, all these iconic things. And I tried to get gigs there and I couldn't get a gig there because I came with a, you know, sack of songs and my guitar and they wanted cover songs. I couldn't make it on Broadway, so I ended up over at Printer's Alley. Started figuring it out. I took a job. I had a job at the Shop at Home network. I sold knives. Thanks for calling Shop at Home. My name is Eric. Help me help you.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you answer the phones? Oh, yeah.
Scuba Steve
Had a little headset.
Bobby Bones
Good stuff. What kind of knives? Like, what was your. What was your. What was your rap?
Scuba Steve
My rap at that time, I actually got fired because of my lack of rap. I would answer the phone. I had the. I had the shift. It was, I think my shift was 11pm to like 7am I was the overnight shift. So that's the shift where the guy comes in, he's been at a bar and he turns on Shop at Home and there's the guy. We were looking at the studio. So where the phone bank was was like an amphitheater type seating. And we all have our little chairs and our headsets on. And we're looking at them selling the knives at their television studio in front of us. And this guy, you know, would call in and go, 3:00 in the morning, slurring, going, man, I gotta, I gotta have some of these knives. It's like 300 knives for 59.99, right? And I actually, one night there was a guy that called in and I could tell he had had a long night and I had a few of those too. And he was like, man, I just got some of these knives, you know, he's slurring. I was like, yeah, yeah, you know, he said, you know, I said, hey, you know what? Going to do you a favor. So why don't you, you go to bed and first of all, when somebody calls and says, I need a knife at that time of night, you think there's already a problem.
Bobby Bones
They don't need. Yeah, they.
Scuba Steve
Not right now. You don't need a knife right now.
Bobby Bones
You need to go to bed.
Scuba Steve
So I said, why don't you go to bed and why don't you call me in the morning? I'll still be here. He said, well, it says there's three left. I said, brother, trust me, there's more than three left. Okay, you're going to be okay. And there's that thing where when you call into something like that and they'll say, for whatever purposes this call may be recorded. They do that and they happen to record this call.
Bobby Bones
That's how you got got.
Scuba Steve
So I got cut.
Bobby Bones
You're advocating for that, dude?
Scuba Steve
I was advocating for that, dude. They didn't like that shopping on this. They fired me.
Bobby Bones
What song almost didn't get recorded that ended up being a massive consumption or a massive just hit for you that you almost didn't record?
Scuba Steve
Smoke Love Smoke.
Bobby Bones
Why, why didn't you not. Why did you almost not record it?
Scuba Steve
I didn't get it at the time. I mean, that was my wife and another, another my guitar player, I had that kept saying and we. What really changed it is we started playing it before I recorded it. We started doing a janky version of it live and the they climbed the walls. But I didn't get it in the moment. First of all, the label told me if I release that they were going.
Bobby Bones
To drop me because of what the song was.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, at that time, no, no Marijuana. There was no song like that in the year that it came out. Like it was. First of all, we're all on our own path anyway. And the label was like, listen, if you do this, you just might as well go do it somewhere else. And so that was a big moment. But yeah, I got close to going on, though. This is going to work. You know, this is not what I.
Bobby Bones
Think, but once it did, did it give you more. Hate to use the word credibility within the label, but it gives huge. Yeah, yeah.
Scuba Steve
Because the next thing we did was made the chief album and we came out with homeboy first. And they were. Instead of fighting that, which they probably a lot of labels would have, they just went, hey, I don't. I don't know that smoke song work. So just let him run a minute. They get whatever rope you gave him. Let him. Let him use it all.
Bobby Bones
So I appreciate the time, Eric. Good luck with everything.
Lunchbox
Get your Bobby Bones on you to.
Bobby Bones

Scuba Steve
It's time for the good news with Amy.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good.
Eddie
Shout out to Scruffy, a family dog in the Woodlands, Texas, because Scruffy saved his whole family's life. They had left a plastic bowl on top of the hot stove, and when they went to bed, somehow it caught fire. And the fire was flaming up to the cabinets, about to catch the wood, and then that would be a real problem. But Scruffy was barking and barking and barking and wouldn't stop. So they woke up, and they were all able to exit the home safely. Fire department came, put out the fire. They praised Scruffy's actions, and then they also put out a reminder like, don't leave combustible items near stoves.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, good one. I'm thinking if that was me and Stanley was barking because Eller's not a huge barker, I would have just packed on more pillows on my head. I don't think I'd have got out. I'd be like, stanley, stop. I had eight pillows on my head, and the house would have burned down.
Eddie
Yeah, well, you've got probably good working smoke alarms, because that's another part.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I mean, I don't know.
Raymundo
Do they chirp?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I don't know. I'll be honest with you. I have no idea.
Raymundo
Because they don't chirp.
Bobby Bones
You're good.
Raymundo
It's that chirp. You gotta worry.
Bobby Bones
I'm sure we have them.
Eddie
Okay, well, that's just another part of this story that the firefighters did. When they went to the house, they saw they didn't have adequate smoke alarms, so the firefighters installed it for the family. So that's cool. You know, they don't have to rely on Scruffy all the time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't know if I have. We have to have alarms, right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Raymundo
Yes, you have to.
Bobby Bones
All right, There you go. That's what it's all about.
Scuba Steve
That was. Tell me something good.
Bobby Bones
The question is, if the cable guys over somebody to repair something or somebody to work on something in the house, do you let workers use your bathroom? Now, I was trained whenever I was roofing houses or doing anything in houses to never ask to go to the bathroom because I was out of line. And if anything, get in the car, go to the gas station. A lot of times when we were doing outdoor work, we had porta Potties, so those would be there. Especially if we were going to be there a week or so if we're doing like a roof tear off or something. So it was always never use the bathroom there. But if you do have to go to the bathroom and you can't get to the gas station, run down the road and go in the woods.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
It was. It was everything but because that we were just taught, don't ask to go to the bathroom in someone's house because they may find it offensive and they may not want to hire you again, that type thing. So, Amy, let's say somebody's over at the house working on something.
Eddie
Yeah, they can.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
And I've walked in on one before.
Raymundo
What?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
On purpose?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Oh, which were they doing? One or two.
Eddie
It was a guy and he was sitting down.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
Eddie
Yeah. But it was right after I moved and I was doing like a lot of work at the house, so he'd been there a little bit. This was a situation where he probably. He didn't even have to ask, so I didn't realize he was in there.
Bobby Bones
What do you mean? Was he working on your toilet?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Because he could have just been testing it then, right? Yeah. Like making sure it works.
Eddie
No, he wasn't working on the toilet. That's why I didn't know he was in there. And I just walked right in. And then.
Bobby Bones
You didn't lock the door in a bathroom that wasn't his?
Eddie
Yeah. I don't know what he was thinking. I try not to think about it because it was awkward and I've had to see him multiple times since, and I just pretend it never happened.
Bobby Bones
Can you picture his face when you walk in? Yes. Like right now, can you picture his face?
Eddie
Yes. Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Raymundo
That vision doesn't go away.
Eddie
Yeah, I know. I felt mostly for him, though, because, like.
Bobby Bones
Oh, God.
Eddie
Because he was like. Oh, my Gosh, I'm so sorry. And I was like, me, too.
Bobby Bones
Was he sorry because he was using your bathroom because he didn't lock the door?
Eddie
Probably because he didn't lock the door. Because, again, he was at my house so much. Like, it would make sense that he would use the bathroom.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What? Okay, but I'm telling you, people are trained not to use the bathroom in people's houses.
Eddie
I get if you're tearing off the roof. What if you're doing work inside and you're there for a long time?
Bobby Bones
I hear you. What if you clog someone's toilet? Right? Yeah, that would be terrible. That'd be terrible.
Eddie
Hopefully he'd know how to fix that without even having to tell me.
Bobby Bones
Experts say it's good etiquette to allow contractors to use your bathroom while they're working. Okay. If someone is in your house, do you have them take off their shoes?
Eddie
Well, I have those little shoe cover booty things right at the door so.
Bobby Bones
They know and see them.
Eddie
Yeah, I have those. And then a lot of times they have them themselves. But in general, I guess it just depends on which mode I'm in, because sometimes I clean the floors real good and I'm like, proclaiming, we're a no shoe household again for the 500th time.
Bobby Bones
I'm always embarrassed to have people take off their shoes. Yeah, but we're a no shoe household. My wife has made it for me. It's natural. I come in, I take off my shoes. There can be a pile of shoes that gathers pretty quickly. It's called the pyramid of feet. If I don't take them back to the back. Yeah, but I hate when people come over and I'm like, you got to take off your shoes.
Eddie
I think people understand, but some people don't come.
Bobby Bones
Feet ready.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I'm always kind of embarrassed.
Scuba Steve
Well, that's all you.
Eddie
I could. When I ordered these little foot booty things on Amazon, they sent like, a thousand. So I can give you something even.
Bobby Bones
I'd be more embarrassed to go, hey, put these foot panties on. Yeah.
Eddie
We'll call them foot booties.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. I do. I just have people take off their shoes. Lunchboxes. There's someone working in your house. Do you. Is it okay if they use the bathroom?
Lunchbox
I've let them use the bathroom before, even though it's awkward because it's like, if it's just pee, no big deal. But if they're doing the deuce.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It's like, man, like, say, you're gonna Take lunch and go find somewhere to go to the bathroom. Like nobody doing in my toilet.
Bobby Bones
Maybe that's the only way that they would even ask is if they had to hit that secondary.
Raymundo
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because they could probably hold p. No.
Eddie
Sometimes you can't hold pee.
Bobby Bones
But we can hold pee a lot longer. Because the worst case scenario with holding pee is not near as bad as the worst case scenario when. And you can go pee, walk. You can walk 20ft and find a tree.
Raymundo
Yeah, we're guys. We can do that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we can do that. Yeah. Eddie done it.
Raymundo
I mean, I have no problem with it. I have a bathroom that's kind of near the front door. So, like, they don't have to go really in my house to use it. Yeah, I think it's nice. It's fine. And for the booty cover things, like, I've had three people come to my house, like pest control guy and toilet guy. They all have them on.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they put on. Most people put them on their foot panties.
Raymundo
Yeah, they do.
Bobby Bones
Maybe I should market that.
Eddie
Or shoe panties. What you call them.
Bobby Bones
Hey, I do want to play this voicemail about Eddie. Play this, please.
Caller
This real ID conversation is my own. What's wrong with people? Come on, guys, it's been years. Eddie, you're whining about no appointments. They probably had plenty of appointments in 2022.
Bobby Bones
You crack me up.
Caller
It does remind me a bit of my 5 year old that I tell to do something 10 times and then acts like it's the very first time I said it when he's supposed to be doing it. I tease the ones I love. So I hope you guys all have a good day.
Bobby Bones
Eddie respons.
Raymundo
It's weird that she says this because, like, I'm like that with my kids too. I'm like, why do I have to tell you 100 times before you realize you need to bring your water bottle to your basketball games? And now, like, now I know they get it from me.
Bobby Bones
So. Yeah, I think generally humans procrastinate until they think it's a real. And now I think it's really happening. But the fact that maybe and. And we can talk about this, that maybe they're gonna allow you just to get to the airport way, way, way earlier. I'll tell you about it in a second.
Eddie
Yes, but do you think people that put off real ID also can get to the airport way early?
Bobby Bones
I've put off. I mean, I put off real id.
Eddie
So did I. Yeah. And I struggle getting there.
Bobby Bones

Lunchbox
Airport bathrooms, yeah. This time.
Bobby Bones
What city?
Lunchbox
Austin or Nashville? I don't know which one's which. You know what I mean, they all get jumbled. Yeah, I did them both.
Bobby Bones
So lunchbox will walk into the bathroom and he'll sit on the toilet. When there's a guy sitting on the toilet next to him, the only thing in the middle is the wall. And so then he knocks and then he just basically either asks for advice or confesses something. These are. These are very cringy. They also are awesome sometimes. Here we go. Clip number one, stall four.
Lunchbox
What's up? It's stall three. Stall two here. Oh, stall two. How you doing, man?
Bobby Bones
Good, man. You?
Lunchbox
Man, I gotta be honest, it's my first time flying. I'm kind of nervous. Well, a couple more beers might be the trick. Is that what it is? So just get a good buzz going. If it's gonna crash your dry anyway, so might as well just say your advice, so. Oh, man. Well, I don't want to. Oh, man. Oh, man. I don't. Hey, you got nothing to worry about.
Bobby Bones
Okay?
Lunchbox
But it'd be weird if I asked the person next to me, like, hey, can I hold your hand on takeoff? Right. That might be a little weird. Oh, okay. Yeah, through the stalls I'm taking.
Bobby Bones
I think it's weird.
Lunchbox
All right, man. Well, I guess I better down a couple more beers.
Bobby Bones
Did he say it's no weirder than him cuz he's taking a beep.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we're talking through the bathroom stalls. He goes, so I don't think it's weird.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's just weird. It has sounds. No, I just. When people talk while doing that, that's weird. But some guy next to you, like, wants to have a conversation. But that guy was nice.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he jumped right in. I was going under. Stall four, install two.
Bobby Bones
That's what happened. He jumped in.
Lunchbox
He jumped in out of nowhere. I knocked on stall four, install two. To my left is the one said, hey, I'm stall two here, bro.
Bobby Bones
Wanted to get on. Okay, next one.
Lunchbox
Stall three, what's up? Install four. Okay. No, but I really got a question because my wife feeded our three kids.
Bobby Bones
You know what that guy say?
Lunchbox
I said, what's going on? He goes, I don't really know.
Bobby Bones
So he didn't want to talk?
Lunchbox
No, he was like, what's going on here?
Bobby Bones
Got it. Okay, go ahead.
Lunchbox
So her, you know, boobies are a little like saggy and so she wants to get like a lift. And I kind of like what she's working with. I kind of like the way they look. I don't know how to get her to keep them like they are. You want me to email you a pic so you can like, give your opinion?
Bobby Bones
I got a girl.
Lunchbox
I hope you get me killed. Well, I mean, I don't know. I'm not gonna get you killed. Like, it's just like. It's like you're helping a friend and maybe you get your girl's opinion too.
Bobby Bones
Nah, shit killing.
Lunchbox
You want me to airdrop it?
Bobby Bones
Nah, I got Android, so I don't even know.
Lunchbox
Oh yeah, I don't think that's gonna work, man. All right, well, man, safe travel. Sorry to bother you, you know.
Bobby Bones
Nah, safe travel to you, man.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I hope everything works out for you.
Raymundo
It was nice.
Bobby Bones
The guy did not want to be a part of it.
Eddie
This is too much.
Bobby Bones
All right, this one says airport toilet paper review. I can only imagine what this is. All right, go ahead.
Lunchbox
Stall two, what's up? Install three. Hey, I gotta say, this toilet paper is not bad. I was expecting it to be a lot rougher. Usually when you go to the airport, the toilet paper is just like, it like rips your butt, you know. How would you rate the toilet paper? Not bad, right? It's not Charmin Soft, but it's not like, you know, gravel. True. Are you. Are you leaving? Yeah, man. Yeah. So whenever you tell people say man, that Nashville airport, they got good toilet paper. Nice people, too. Oh, good.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Same travels, man. Where are you headed? Let's go to Wilmington.
Bobby Bones
Ah.
Lunchbox
Have a good trip, man. Thanks, I will.
Bobby Bones
He said enjoy your.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So you were still on the toilet while talking to him.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And you were trying to make it an ambassador for the city. Like, when you get out, tell everybody Nashville has good toilet paper.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because, I mean, the toilet paper was softer than I expected, and so I. I wanted to get his opinion on it. He liked the toilet paper.
Bobby Bones
Also, I'm thinking if this were to happen to me, I didn't. I just wouldn't say anything.
Raymundo
Right.
Eddie
Like, you just stay silent.
Raymundo
Just ignore. Yes.
Eddie
What if he's like, doll, too? Hello.
Lunchbox
I do. I knock over.
Bobby Bones
I would stay silent. I would. He can't see AirPods, so maybe things have air. I'm not talking.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. True, true.
Bobby Bones
I'm not talking during that.
Eddie
Yeah, you could have your music in.
Raymundo
And they think he's. He's special, right?
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's why they are so nice. I think. So I have one more about a drug test. You want to hear that one? Yeah. Okay.
Lunchbox
Stall four.
Bobby Bones
What's up?
Lunchbox
It's stall three.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Lunchbox
How you doing, man?
Eddie
I'm good.
Lunchbox
I just got a question for you, man.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
Like, do you know any way to, like, cheat a drug test? Because, like, I'm supposed to have a job interview this week and got kind of out of control this weekend. You know what I mean? Like. Like, you should I lie to him and tell him, like, my drink was, like, spiked or something?
Bobby Bones
Sorry, man.
Lunchbox
Sorry, what?
Bobby Bones
I don't have an answer for you.
Lunchbox
You don't? You want to help me out? Are you leaving?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Well, you haven't. Yeah. You didn't give me a solution to my problem. Am I on my own stuff, or.
Bobby Bones
Do they ever peek in the crack to see what you look like?
Lunchbox
No, I mean, that dude was running out of there. Like, he ran.
Eddie
This makes me think that that guy might be in trouble with the law and that he thinks this is some undercover thing.
Bobby Bones
No, your head went there. I don't think he just wants to get out. I think that guy just. Everybody's up to something.
Lunchbox
He was so uncomfortable.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, thank you, Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
You're welcome.
Bobby Bones
Nothing like Cringe in the Morning. What's your caller? That was almost the name of our show, Cringe in the Morning. Bones. Morgan got bit by a tick. Now you just found the ticket, like, buried in you.
Caller
Yeah, it was in my stomach. It had Bit me.
Bobby Bones
Oh, do you have to pull it out?
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So then you're worried because you might have Lyme disease. And for the record, everybody, most ticks don't have Lyme disease now. Some do. And I'm not saying you shouldn't do. Like, Morgan didn't get you. Get yourself tested. And like, Amy did. Amy sent the tick off. Amy mailed the tick off.
Eddie
I mailed it alive.
Bobby Bones
She kept it alive in ice.
Eddie
Yeah, it was in my free serve.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I think a lot of people get really freaked out, but. And they should, Because Lyme disease is serious and it really affects lives, but it's not in every tick. So you get your blood results back and what happened?
Caller
Yeah, so I had a doctor's appointment and blood results. I was testing for all kinds of things. And I'm freaking out because I just think I have everything at this point.
Eddie
I'm just.
Bobby Bones
Are you starting to get Lyme disease symptoms in your head or you're like, oh, I might be getting it?
Caller
Well, it's like you can have. I've developed, like, rashes on my body. I've had, like, flu, like, symptoms, and I'm like, what is going on? Am I like, having the thing? And so I'm like, okay, we get this full, and I'm doing full blood work for just everything that's happening in my body right now. So I get a full, complete panel and all this stuff done. The next week I have a follow up with my doctor and she was like, just a heads up, sometimes there are false positives. Like, you could have it getting you.
Bobby Bones
Ready for Lyme disease.
Caller
No, she's like, it could come back negative and you could still have it. It could be positive. You may not. Like, you just have to be prepared that this is not your end. All be all.
Eddie
That doesn't help.
Caller
I know.
Bobby Bones
I like, my doctors just say nothing until it's time.
Caller
Yeah, but so she starts. She starts going through and she's like, this looks good. Everything looks good. We get to the very end, she's like, well, you're all clear. There's nothing in your blood. So I am all fine. No, apparently I have nothing in my body.
Bobby Bones
That's true. She didn't say, you might still have it. Even if you don't, you're not all fine. Yeah, you're not clear by any means.
Caller
But she did also look at the bite and apparently, like, in the very beginning phases, because I was right at the kind of four or five week mark. And she said right in the Beginning. It kind of forms a bullseye if you have early Lyme's disease or a rash right around the tick bite, so. And I did not have either one of those things.
Bobby Bones
Is it called Lyme's disease?
Eddie
Lyme.
Bobby Bones
Lyme.
Caller
Did I say Lyme?
Raymundo
You said Lyme.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I thought I might. I might be saying it wrong. The Vatican is gonna announce the next Pope. Well, they could start as early as I think. Does it start tomorrow? So they've installed new, like a new pipe so when the smoke comes out, you'll be able to see it. I wish they do fireworks.
Raymundo
That'd be cool.
Bobby Bones
Celebration, you know. So you. Yeah. Oh. So it's the same day as the real ID tomorrow. So they start getting together tomorrow.
Raymundo
They planned that.
Bobby Bones
Yes. They all have the real id. Obviously they can't. They can't get back home because you got to fly back home.
Lunchbox
Good point.
Bobby Bones
Just because you wear a red outfit like a cardinal doesn't mean you get to go for free. But okay. So they gather starting tomorrow for conclave to determine the next pope. 135 cardinal electors. Deliberations happen in secret behind closed doors. And they will let everybody know by smoke signals that they've reached two thirds majority. They attached a new special chimney atop the Sistine Chapel. This past Friday, in every vote, they burn the ballots in the stove. Black smoke comes out. Although it's a bit confusing because the smoke that isn't. It's not like bad guy, like Gargamel black, you know, it doesn't come out and you're like, that's for sure. Black smoke. It just is a little darker, dark smoke. And then sometimes the white smoke's a little gray and you're.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's why I think fireworks would be a big part of it. You light them up and it just goes hope. Or if not, it goes nope, nope or nope.
Raymundo
But then you're like, is that an hr?
Bobby Bones
I know. Then I'd start doing that too. But yeah. No. So the things tomorrow, you got to have your real id. And then secondly, might get a Pope tomorrow. I doubt it'll be tomorrow, but you might get a Pope. Francis was elected Pope at the end of the conclave's second day in 2013. Quick. That. What? Yeah, that was quick. It's. It's kind of fun to weird or fun to read about too, that they do all the politicking before they get into the room.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Bobby Bones
Like they're making alliances. It's basically Survivor.
Raymundo
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Once they get in, they really can't but they do a lot. And Europeans usually stick with Europeans, which is why there are so many European popes. The last one wasn't, but that's why there's so many European popes. If you don't have your real id, by the way, they say get to the airport three hours early.
Eddie
Wait, so you can still fly without it?
Bobby Bones
So they didn't tell us this. Probably for a reason, to get people to get the real id. The TSA says if you don't have your real ID by tomorrow, you better get to the airport at least three hours early because you'll be subject to delays and additional screening. And not only that, even if you get through it, they still might not clear you to fly. I knew they couldn't shut everybody down.
Raymundo
That's like Morgan's doctor's appointment.
Eddie
I mean, it's good.
Bobby Bones
Maybe you get to fly, maybe not.
Eddie
That's helpful, though. Like, you're not completely doomed. You just maybe show. I would show up with everything. I'd show up with my birth certificate, my Social Security card, vcr.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you roll in like the substituter rolled in that screen.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Krispy Kreme is also doing the glazed donuts tomorrow, May 7, with no purchase and no ID and no catch, because they know everybody's stressed out about real id.
Raymundo
Nice.
Bobby Bones
So big shout out to Krispy Kreme to grab your free donut. You pop in. They're not a sponsor of ours, but I think it's kind of funny they do that. Even if you have a real id, you can get one, but it's mostly to keep people from freaking out. That's from all Recipes. All right, it's time for the good.
Eddie
News with producer Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good.
Raymundo
There are these kids in a neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona, and they wanted to raise money for some homeless dogs. There's a shelter in town that helps homeless dogs. So they're like, you know what? Let's do a lemonade stand, and we'll raise money. So they set it up, and here comes this nice car, pulls up, and it's NBA superstar Devin Booker, 6 foot 6, comes up. He says, hey, guys, what are you all raising money for? They tell him. He goes, that's really cool. Give me a couple of lemonades. And they say, it's $10. Mr. Booker. He gives them 200 bucks, gives him a fist bump, and says, hey, kids, keep doing what you're doing, and drives off.
Bobby Bones
That'd be cool. They should get him to sign something.
Raymundo
That's true. Basketball.
Bobby Bones
Maybe they didn't have it or anything.
Eddie
Lemonade.
Bobby Bones
It's not a cup of lemonade. Yeah. Also, you said a shelter for homeless dogs. Are there shelter for dogs that have homes?
Lunchbox
Oh, good question.
Raymundo
No, maybe not.
Bobby Bones
There's a shelter, huh? Yeah, I just want to make sure my shelter.
Raymundo
Rescue shelter. And they help homeless dogs?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Caller
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Better than shelters for home to dogs.
Raymundo
Probably not.
Bobby Bones
It's called a vet, right?
Eddie
Or. Yeah, or boarding.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they're pretty cool. If Devin Booker stopped by, though, he had to pull up in some kind of super famous, like, super.
Raymundo
A nice car.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Raymundo
They knew immediately. And he's six foot six. I didn't realize he's that tall. He doesn't look that tall, but that's not tall.
Bobby Bones
NBA. That's like.
Eddie
He's like one of the big NBA players. Like.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you mean.
Eddie
But I mean, big time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Like well paid.
Bobby Bones
Yes. If that's. Yes, very well paid. That's funny how Amy goes. Big time. Well paid. Yes. All right, good story. That's what it's all about.
Scuba Steve
That was. Tell me something good, Bones.
Bobby Bones
Now time for the morning Corny. The morning Corny.
Eddie
Why did the moon skip dinner?
Bobby Bones
Why?
Eddie
He was already full.
Bobby Bones
That was the morning Corny. That wasn't bad.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was pretty good. It was pretty good. Hey, what's the show about? The trial that you watched?
Eddie
Oh, the. Well, I haven't yet because I don't know if, like, we're gonna do it together. My friend watched it.
Bobby Bones
The what's the trial?
Eddie
It's this woman, Kare, Karen Reed, and it's on Max, and it's documenting how she ran over her policeman boyfriend. And the defense is saying, yeah, no, no, no, no. He died inside of the party. And her running him over is the COVID up. So this whole thing, and apparently America split 50 50.
Bobby Bones
Anybody following this?
Raymundo
No, but I'm in now.
Bobby Bones
So it's up now it's up.
Eddie
It's On Max. My friend watched it and with her whole coworkers and whatnot, they are all split 5050 on whether or not she did it. And so I thought, well, we all need to watch it and then see how we feel about it.
Raymundo
I'm down.
Bobby Bones
Do we get to decide our fate?
Raymundo
We vote.
Bobby Bones
What's it called?
Eddie
Okay, so it's called it's on Max, and it's a docu series and it's called the Trial of Karen Reed, Body in the Snow.
Bobby Bones
And the body in the snow is her cop boyfriend that she ran over?
Eddie
Yeah, boyfriend, fiance, something like that. Yes. And. And she, well, allegedly ran over. We don't know.
Bobby Bones
I thought wouldn't they know if his body was ran over though?
Eddie
She. So the first, the first trial, it was a mistrial.
Bobby Bones
But I'm saying wouldn't they know his body was run over by something though? Like his body? If dead, you can tell if a car's run over it.
Eddie
Okay, but did she run it over or did it get run over as part of a cover up from when he died inside?
Bobby Bones
So the body did get run over.
Raymundo
Though, I guess, regardless.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, the body in the snow.
Raymundo
But did he actually die inside?
Eddie
Yeah. So he was a police officer and they were at a fellow police officer's house for a party. And so I don't know, it's just pretty crazy how most people are split. Like, even when I was reading about it online, it's like half and half. Like, why does nobody feel clear about this?
Raymundo
You're going to watch it.
Bobby Bones
That's how I feel about the whole silverback and 100 people. Why is nobody clear about this?
Raymundo
But we'll never know that.
Bobby Bones
Exactly. Exactly.
Eddie
Okay, so we'll all watch it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, watch it. We'll have a week report back. We're gonna play a movie quotes game. I'll play a clip from a 2000s movie. Name the movie. Amy, you can go first. Number one. You're a wizard. Harry.
Eddie

Bobby Bones
Harry Potter. Pretty easy. Okay, Amy, check the second one out. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Vote for Pedro. Votes for Pedro. Pedro. Vote for Pedro.
Eddie
Napoleon Dynamite.
Bobby Bones
Correct. So we have Danny on right now. Hey, Danny, how are you, buddy?
Lunchbox
Hey, what's up, guys?
Bobby Bones
Good morning, studio. Morning. Danny left a voicemail. Danny was upset that we weren't letting Danny play a game to win some of my shoes. Danny referred to himself in third person. So would you play that voicemail, Ray.
Lunchbox
Others listening to part one. Monday, April 28th. Toby's on the show for his second shot at winning the shoes because he went team lunchbox. Danny would love to be on the show, but he can't even get one shot. Come on, guys, help me out. I want to win some shoes. It's like my upteenth time calling the loyal listener. Love the show. Listen every day. Help me out, Scuba Ray. Whoever hears this, somebody, they heard you.
Bobby Bones
We heard you. We're gonna let you play. So first of all, you can have one of the show members represent you. And if they win, you win. So Danny, you can pick Amy, you can pick Lunchbox, you can pick Eddie. Heck, you can pick Morgan. But pick the person that you want to represent you.
Lunchbox
All right, so I've been listening to a couple of these with Toby and some others. I think I'm also gonna go team Lunchbox.
Raymundo
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Okay, now pick the person you want the Lunchbox to play against. So you're basically picking the person you think will lose to Lunchbox. You have Amy, Morgan, or Eddie.
Lunchbox
Let's go, Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Dang, that's smart. Well, she is younger. So these are 2000s movies. Morgan, what year were you born?
Caller

40 year old version.
Bobby Bones
Correct. They both got it. So we're at a tie here. We're gonna do sudden death. If you miss it, you're out. We'll do a couple that aren't speed round.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And go. Raymundo. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. From 2008. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Shoot. What?
Lunchbox
I know what that is. But you do?
Bobby Bones
Do you guys want it one more time? You both have to say yes.
Caller
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Lunchbox says no. Dang. Five seconds. Shoot. Did you write something down, Morgan? I did.
Caller
I wrote something down.
Bobby Bones
Time, Morgan.
Caller
The dark Knight rises.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox Gladiator. Oh, my gosh. Can't give it to you, Morgan.
Lunchbox
Dang it.
Bobby Bones
I knew it. It's the Dark Knight.
Caller
I knew it.
Eddie
Who's there?
Caller
I just couldn't figure out which one.
Raymundo
What did you say? Rises.
Caller
Yeah, it's the following one, and I couldn't remember which one he was in.
Bobby Bones
That's the one where he gets put in the oven and the dough comes up. Yeah. Okay, come on, let's do one more. That's not speed round. Okay, write your answer down. Go ahead. You shall not pass from 2001. Here it is. You shall not pass.
Lunchbox
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Would you guys like to hear it again?
Lunchbox
No. I mean, I've already got it in my head.
Eddie
What are you doing? What noises are you making?
Lunchbox
I'm just doing the reenactment of that.
Bobby Bones
Five seconds. All right, answers in.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Harry Potter. He doesn't pass a class. They struck him with lightning.
Bobby Bones
Morgan.
Caller
That's not how that one goes. But I don't know that I have this either. Lord of the Rings.
Bobby Bones
Correct. That was others, Danny. You picked your winner, and you picked the person you thought they'd beat. Gosh, you picked wrong both times, Danny.
Lunchbox
Yes, I did.
Bobby Bones
Your thoughts, Danny?
Lunchbox
It's all good, man. It was worth a shot. I appreciate you guys getting back to me. I'd been listening the last couple of, you know, times, and like I said, I was trying to go with who I thought was strongest, and I gave Lunchbox a chance this time, and he let me down.
Bobby Bones
He did. Do you want another? We can play again. I can. I usually give everybody two chances. We can play again later this week if you want.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that would be excellent. I appreciate you for real. Reaching out. I can't believe I sound so country in that voicemail, though.
Bobby Bones
Not just a voicemail, bro. You're, like, right now, even now. Okay, that's Danny. Lunchbox did not win for Danny. Morgan kept the shoes from Danny, which, I'm sorry, seems a little mean, but however, he picked you to lose. So Morgan's our winner. Danny, thank you for playing, buddy.
Lunchbox
Yep. I'll be waiting to hear back from you guys.
Bobby Bones

Oh, Kentucky second grader ordered 70,000 lollipops. I mean, that's going to hold you for a while. Let's be honest. If you like suckers, you're good. But yeah, Holly the favors from Lexington share that her son Liam ordered 30 cases of DUM dum suckers. And these cases aren't small. They have 2, 340 suckers inside. Just went on and I'm assuming because it's very easy to hit that plus button because you know, you order and it says, oh, I'm looking at the front door. Oh my God, how'd they get out? Oh my God. It filled up the whole Amazon van. There's no way the guy had to make a specialty dumb dumb sucker drop because they're stacked probably six feet high. The boxes five or six different rows. Six feet. Wow. 70,000 lollipops.
Raymundo
Dum dums are good.
Bobby Bones
Oh, dumb dumbs.
Lunchbox
Pretty good.
Raymundo
The mystery dum dum.
Bobby Bones
There's too much work for too little dumb because it's small. It's so small. Yeah. So yeah, $4,200 in dum dums.
Raymundo
Oh my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Amazon let her return eight of the 30 boxes. She was left with another 22. So she's trying to sucker sell them. Would you like to buy some dumb dumbs? That's from wkyt.com this has to be super relatable with parents and kids who are just learning how to use the phone or the iPad because I'm imagining a toddler ain't slapping a bunch of buttons and making it. Exactly. To order this, order this, many, proceed to check out, go. It's got to be right in that wheelhouse. Amy, anything?
Eddie
El when my kids first got to America, we adopted and they were older and we were like, oh, let's get on these Amazon fire tablets. And I guess we didn't turn off something on my daughter's Amazon tablet and she was able to buy like a bunch of things. And I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was hundreds of dollars.
Bobby Bones
Did she know what she was doing?
Eddie
Oh, yeah, probably. She's pretty savvy.
Bobby Bones
Maybe she didn't think it would get back to you since it was her tablet.
Eddie
Yeah, I'm like, was it music? I honestly can't remember. I just know when we called Amazon they refunded us immediately. So that part was co to keep.
Bobby Bones
The other stuff or was it digital?
Eddie
It was all digital. Cuz it was on the the fire tablet and we were like, oh, we need to make sure that this toggle is on. And this toggle is on for like parental controls and all of that. But it surprised me how easy it was for Amazon. Probably dealt with it a lot. And they're like, oh yeah, no problem. Here's a refund.
Bobby Bones
Like Tootsie Pops. I'd have been a little happier about.
Raymundo
Yeah, those are good too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Tootsie Pops are awesome. Do you ever do the thing with the star and it became the stupid thing where if you opened your Tootsie Pop and there was the Native American with the arrow and there was a star on it and you stuck your stick through the star, then you made a wish. I'm convinced that was them just marketing toward kids.
Eddie
Oh, really? I mean, I knew about the star thing and thought it was cool, but I never knew there was a whole thing where you stick the stick in it and make a wish. Is that an Arkansas thing or just universal?
Bobby Bones
Why is it got to be an Arkansas thing? Because we're dumb. We'll fall for that. No, yeah, I hear you.
Eddie
No, because you grew up there.
Bobby Bones
No, I hear you. It's okay. I. I start crying.
Eddie
Okay. You just made that story up in your head.
Bobby Bones
What story?
Eddie
That I was saying, why does it have to be from Arkansas?
Bobby Bones
Because you said it's at an Arkansas thing.
Eddie
Yeah, because that's where you grew up. Sometimes things are regional.
Bobby Bones
Hey, potato, potato. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Eddie.
Raymundo
Yeah, my oldest. Like he's 17 now, but I think he was probably 9 or 10. And he was playing the game Subway Surfers. And I guess our credit card was already programmed to the phone in app.
Bobby Bones
Purchases for Power Ups.
Raymundo
Dude, he spent like $250 a power up.
Bobby Bones
I love a power. I felt that. I love a power up.
Raymundo
And what's crazy is we called Apple. We're like, this is like, what do we do here? And they're like, it happens all the time. We'll just. We'll just take all those Power Ups away.
Bobby Bones
No, no.
Raymundo
And then we got our money back.
Bobby Bones
Hopefully use them. So different. Ish. But my grandmother raised me for a lot of my life. And I remember seeing on television you call this 900 number and talk to your favorite major league baseball stars.
Raymundo
Oh, thank goodness.
Bobby Bones
And they had Andre Dawson. Oh, yeah, Different. Good point. Now, as a kid, I didn't know what Kitty After Dark was, and so I can talk to Andre Dawson, Mark Grace, two of my favorite Cubs. And so you call. And it was 2.99 the first minute, 99 cents each additional minute. So I called, and then I realized it was recordings from these guys. That didn't really keep me from calling again because I thought I would hang up before the first minute and never get charged. So I'd listen to the first 50 seconds of mark Grace. Hey, thanks for calling. Let me tell you one of my favorite baseball stories. Grandma got the bill. It was like $110.
Eddie
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she called. They even then they wiped most of it away.
Raymundo
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Back in the day, they understand. Lunchbox your kids anything.
Lunchbox
No, they're too young. They don't really know how to get on Amazon or anything like that. They don't know how to get on an iPad. They don't do any of that. So so far, so good.
Bobby Bones
He's like, well, I did. My wife had no idea. Let's talk to Sarah in Florida. Sarah, you're on the show. What happened with you?
Caller
Good morning, studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Caller
Well, my son had just turned 6 years old, and we had a birthday party for him, and he got a bunch of gift cards, which he was sick, so he didn't understand how that worked. He thought that that just meant he had money. And we also didn't realize he knew how to use Amazon, but he did. And we woke up the next morning to an email that said he ordered a thousand Pokemon cards and an Airsoft rifle.
Bobby Bones
Oh, nice. Sounds fun. Sounds fun. And so how much total?
Caller
It was just over 550.
Bobby Bones
Oh, and how much did you Were you able to send anything back and get a refund?
Caller
No, we tried and it was already being delivered. I could have sent it back, but I ended up just keeping the Airsoft rifle. And we're waiting till he's older to let him play with it.
Bobby Bones
She's like, we kept it. We tied him up, we shot him with it.
Raymundo
Taught him a lesson.
Bobby Bones
Will you do that again? No, ma'am. Yeah. Dang, that stinks. Sarah, I appreciate that call. Thank you very much.
Caller
Thank you. Y'all have a good day.
Bobby Bones
You too. Thank you so much for calling. Really. 87777 Bobby is our number. Let's go to Rebecca listening in Maryland. Rebecca, what is your story?
Caller
So my 5 year old son, this was last year, he got super into ninjas and decided that he was gonna hop on Amazon with his friends and order morning stars, a dagger, and a ninja outfit. So it was kind of as well as nunchucks, actually. It's kind of crazy because it didn't end up being that expensive, which was shocking to me. Was only like $250, but they were all real, so pretty dangerous for a five year old, obviously. So, yes, we did end up sending them back and got a full refund, but I let him keep the ninja outfit.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Kind of makes me want a ninja outfit because those and all this other stuff. Well, the stuff I don't hurt myself, but, like, scrubs look so comfortable. So does a ninja outfit.
Eddie
It does.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Huh.
Bobby Bones
And then I can cover up. No one even know who I am.
Raymundo
Right. And then wrap your face and move around places quietly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You know what ninjas could do, though? They could hide their vulnerabilities. They could take their testicles and push in their stomach.
Eddie
What? No, they could not. They could.
Bobby Bones
The good ones.
Eddie
So.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's a vulnerable spot.
Eddie
I. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So let's imagine you're fighting a ninja right now. Imagine this a lot. Oh, I'm fighting a ninja. And then I kick them with the balls and they go, nothing here can't hurt me.
Raymundo
Tucked away.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, what happened? My vulnerability's been tucked. Tell me that ain't cool.
Eddie
I mean, you just made me Google, can ninjas really hide their.
Bobby Bones
The Internet will say no, because they don't want you to know.
Eddie
Okay. They say in a literal sense. They cannot.
Bobby Bones
Okay, what's the figurative sense?
Eddie
The term? I've typed in balls. Okay? I said, can ninjas really hide their balls?
Bobby Bones
What the heck? That's a weird way to ask that.
Eddie
Why is that weird?
Bobby Bones
Because it could be Baseballs or softballs.
Eddie
Typing known and just do not have any specific techniques that hide their balls in the literal sense. The term balls is often used humorously in the context of ninja lore. But ninjas focused on stealth, infiltration and espionage. Or not hiding body parts.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Hey, Mike, look up the real version.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Go to the dark web. That's where we find the good stuff.
Eddie
Okay, let me get more scientific. Testicles.
Bobby Bones
Can ninjas google this? Can ninja. How do ninjas protect their testicles? Okay, how do we find me a ninja suit? I'm gonna wear it next week on the show.
Raymundo
The whole week?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I want to wear a ninja suit every day on the show. Go ahead.
Eddie
Okay. They wear compression shorts.
Bobby Bones
That does what?
Eddie
Compresses tight fitting underpants or spandex underneath their attire to keep the testicles snug and minimize the risk of injury during movement and potential impact. So they're just completely new age. You said they were tucking them into their body.
Bobby Bones
What I've done in my training, they can tuck them up in.
Eddie
Now. The media does portray that they're able to do something like you're talking about, but that's media.
Bobby Bones
And you know what? Here's the thing about the media. Always truthful. Every time there's one thing we know. Okay. We're idiots.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Let me do. Hey, Rebecca, do you know where he got the ninja outfit? And was it cool?
Caller
It was pretty cool. He ended up wearing it for Halloween, but I don't know, it was just off of Amazon.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, thank you for the call. You have inspired.
Caller
I don't imagine you did much digging.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. Is it. Let me ask a question. If I wear a ninja costume.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so people get in trouble for putting on the headdress because they're like, hey, you can't dress like a Native American if they're not native American. I'm not a ninja.
Eddie
Yeah, but I don't think think is ninja specific to a group of people. I mean, I know that they're ninjas.
Bobby Bones
You can't anybody think Asian. Are there American ninjas?
Raymundo
Maybe that's the way it used to be.
Bobby Bones
You know, sumo wrestlers stuck their stuff up in their thing too. Sumo wrestlers fight by throwing each other around and jumping. I gotta get one of these too.
Eddie
It says there are American ninja warriors.
Bobby Bones
Pulling the testes up behind the pubis gives them some measure of protection against the crack, crashing blows of their opponent. Compression underwear up behind it. That's what they would call in the NFL the tuck rule. Yep.
Eddie
Bobby, you're good. You can be an all American ninja.
Bobby Bones
I can't. You have to wear an American flag, though, to say I'm not appropriating. Can you find me a ninja outfit costume? Okay, cool. I feel good. This thing turned to take a big 180, but we'll take more calls on. Oh, man, there's an awesome one there. How much for the sword?
Raymundo
Oh, you're on the website now?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Wait a second. This is just that TV show where they, like do obstacle courses.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's not a real ninja. That's not a real ninja.
Eddie
I know that now.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Amy was. That's why she was like on the TV show American Ninja. Can they stick their testicles? No, of course not. Okay. Is it okay to dress like a ninja? Go ahead. Will you hit that, please? As long as you treat the costume and culture with respect, there is no harm in wearing them.
Eddie
Okay, last us for how long did you type in? Is it okay for a white guy from Arkansas?
Bobby Bones
Why do you gotta go to Arkansas again?
Eddie
Because again, that's where you're from.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, we'll come back with the news. Thank you. Got a mom and the mom in Kentucky looked out on the porch and there were just stacks of boxes of suckers. Kid ordered 70,000 suckers. Hilarious. For us, not for her. So it's like, hey, what'd your kids spend accidentally? I have Melissa in D.C. who's on right now. Hey, Melissa, thank you for calling the show. Will you please tell us your story?
Caller
Morning, studio.
Lunchbox
Morning.
Eddie
Hi.
Caller
Yes, so this is about my old. My oldest, he's 13 now, but when he was 2, he had grabbed his dad's phone off of the couch and proceeded to open up the Groupon app and he actually purchased us a trip to Ireland.
Bobby Bones
No way. That's the biggest and best. Wow. Okay, so what do you mean a trip to Ireland? Like what part? What parts of the trip?
Caller
So it was like the whole. It was when they used to do the whole bundles, like the trip bundles with. So it didn't include airfare, but it had multiple hotels, a tour, bus guides, a bunch of stuff included in it. It was about fifteen hundred dollars. And we found out two weeks later the beauty was out of our bank account.
Bobby Bones
When he's a travel agent in like 10 years, which he will, you look back and you're like, this is what started it at all. Or. Or he's like, yeah, travel.
Raymundo
I don't know, man. That's a thoughtful two year old, though.
Bobby Bones
Travel blogger. Could be any of this. So what happened with the money? Did you have to go? Did you get a refund? No.
Caller
So we were able to call them. So this was before, you know, now you can. They make sure that you can't accidentally purchase these things. So we were. We were able to call and kind of explain. It did take a while for the money to get back into our account, but, yeah, we were able to get the money back. But that story just kind of follows him around forever.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he went hard. I respect it. The funny thing would be like, how did it. How's it going now? Well, we live here. We're in Ireland. Yes. Melissa, thank you for the call. Hope you have a great rest of the day.
Caller
Can you say hi to my two sons? We listen to y'all every morning, Landon and Blake.
Bobby Bones
Which one's the Ireland one?
Caller
Landon is the Ireland.
Bobby Bones
All right. Irish. Landon, what up, buddy? Blake, what up, buddy? All right. Thank you for listening.
Caller
Thanks, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
All right, bye. Let's go to Colleen, who's on Colleen in Arkansas. Hey, Colleen.
Caller
Hi there. Good morning, studio.
Lunchbox
Morning.
Caller
So I'm. I'm in Bentonville, not far from your beloved Fayetteville.
Bobby Bones
Don't tell Amy. She's been taking shots all day. Yeah.
Caller
Anyway, so years ago, our now 26 year old, he's a fireman now in San Francisco. But years ago, my husband and I on a dime, tagged along with our very wealthy friends, and we got, like, stuffed into one room at the Grand Wailea in Hawaii, and we, like, were the family that brought Cheerios in our lunch in our suitcases so we could really watch our pennies. And anyway, so we're at the pool and that was kind of the year, the timeframe when Dippin died came out. And this kid, our youngest, was in kindergarten. And so we told him, this is where you get the Dippin dots if.
Bobby Bones
You want them when you get out.
Caller
Of the pool or something, you know, so you could get them right then. Well, we didn't know for the whole trip he was giving them to everyone at the pool, all the kids, everybody. And here's all these very, very wealthy, very wealthy families. For instance, next to us in the cabana because we're just in our little beach chair, right? But the cabana next to us is Magic Johnson and Cookie and their kids. And I kept saying to my husband, I said, wow, those jacket kids really like playing with our kids. And we have just tons of photos with their kids and us. And I'm like now going, thinking, because they're probably giving them all the tipping Dots. So we go to check out. Never ever knew ever. The whole time. And after five and a half days, six days, something like that, we go to check out and we have hundreds of dollars a dippin docs on our bills. And I think it was over 500, but I don't recall.
Bobby Bones
Wow. So that's a lot of different. Like, dipping dots are awesome. But to spend 500, 600 bucks on just dipping dots, charge it to the room. That's a lot of dots. You know, he was loved by the other kids. Yeah. That's how you make friends. You have free stuff to give away.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Born dipping dots. Also the ice cream of the future.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
And now here we are in the future.
Lunchbox
Still.
Bobby Bones
Still the ice cream of the future. Yes. Colleen, thank you very much.
Caller
Okay, bye. Bye.
Bobby Bones
Bye. Have a great day. One more. Let's go to Maddie in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who is listening? Maddie, you're on the show. Good morning.
Caller
Good morning, studio. How are you?
Scuba Steve
Morning.
Caller
So I was really calling because I heard Lunchbox say that his kid wasn't old enough to get into any of this. And I don't know how old his kid is, but my son, I think this started when he was about four months old and went on till he was almost a year, I would say. So I noticed a random charge on my Amazon prime account through the tv. It was some show I've never watched before. And so I called Amazon. What was a few charges? I called Amazon. And he's like, it was originally White Lotus. He's like, are you sure you've never watched this? I said, no, sir, I've never heard of it. And so he reads me off this laundry list of TV shows, movies, music, music subscription that I had bought over the last six months. Months. And it came to be. It was over $400. He could only refund me for the past six months. And what had happened was my son loved to play with the remote. He would use it as his teething toy. He just wanted to press the button.
Bobby Bones
No way.
Caller
And we were, you know, it was innocent. Everybody's like, don't let him play with the remote. And we're like, well, he likes it. You know, like, what harm could he do? That's the harm that he did.
Bobby Bones
That's funny, because he didn't know what he was doing. He was just biting down on it. So it was everything that possibly could go wrong went wrong. Oh, how was White Lotus for him, by the way? He loved it. He's like, man. Season two, definitely the best of the Maddie. Thank you for the call. Oh, go ahead.
Caller
Yeah, I was gonna say he didn't even watch it. The Amazon guy said only six minutes of White Lotus is watched.
Bobby Bones
He got bored like I did the first time I watched it. Matty, thank you. Hope you have an awesome day.
Caller
You guys, too. Bye.
Bobby Bones
Bye. All right, that's fine. Bobby Bone Show.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Jonesboro, Arkansas. The head of a school has been busted as the ringleader of a kid fight club.
Bobby Bones
How young are the kids?
Lunchbox
We're talking elementary school.
Raymundo
Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
One of the videos, you can see him saying, hey, hit him in the privates. Hit him in the privates.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he's also coaching them.
Eddie
Oh, gosh.
Lunchbox
So that. Oh, it's a her.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So what were they getting out of it?
Lunchbox
I don't know, but she's the ringleader. And then three other teachers were arrested also. Two female, one male teacher.
Bobby Bones
So bad. Right. They should never be able to be around kids in that way ever again. Secondly, why would you do it unless you're, like, betting on it? So I'm picturing people around throwing dollars at the ground.
Lunchbox
That's a great question.
Raymundo
Maybe they just like it. Some people like that stuff. I mean, Lunchbox watches fight videos all the time.
Bobby Bones
Four adults. You think one of them would go, guys, we're gonna get a lot of trouble when this gets out. And you don't think the kids are gonna have bruises, are gonna go home? If it's like, 16 and 17 year olds, at least they have the agency within them to go. Maybe I do, maybe I don't. That's why. That's jail, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah. They're facing child abuse charges.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's jail. You can't do that.
Eddie
I know, I know. There's four irresponsible teachers out there, like, in general, but that they all ended up in the same school.
Lunchbox
No, no, not teacher. She's the director of school.
Eddie
No, no.
Bobby Bones
But weren't there four people involved?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm saying, like, the director comes to you and says, hey, I'm gonna need you to get some kids to fight.
Eddie
You're probably like, oh, well, that's the director. Maybe they felt pressured. Like, our jobs are on the line.
Bobby Bones
If you told on her one time they're out. Like, that's one of those where it goes, HR. And maybe HRs like, I don't know. If you go to and say, this is happening, that person's out. You're never gonna be messed with. That's crazy. And also, it's kids that's not something you even worry about. If kids are getting hurt, you just go right to it. But then what were they getting out of it? 20s, 50s? Like. It's not like you can put that on TikTok. That is so dumb. Okay.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
They did a pick three lottery, which they do in North Carolina. And 000 hit. And so over 5,000 people hit. Which I think I would probably shy away from playing the same three numbers. Unless it wasn't an all split. But over 5,420 people did.000. If you did 50 cents you won $250. It just. It can't be a split then. And $1 tickets earned $500. But I'm imagining this is too cheap for your blood. Right Lunchbox?
Lunchbox
Oh yeah. I've never played pick three in my life. I'm not trying to win $200. I'm here to get rich and retire.
Eddie
He wants 200 million.
Lunchbox
Yes or 200,000.
Bobby Bones
Don't you play scratch offs?
Lunchbox
Yeah, but those have million dollar prizes.
Bobby Bones
Would you ever play? Because again this is only three. But if you did the six. Do you ever play the same numbers?
Lunchbox
Never.
Bobby Bones
You can't though. Right? Because a ball comes out and then it's dead.
Lunchbox
Right? There's no. There's not multiple numbers. Like there's not two 55s in there. It can't be.
Bobby Bones
There's one machine. It's not six different numbers.
Lunchbox
Right.
Raymundo
Would you ever pick 000 though? That's weird. Like I have area codes or something.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't do 666.
Raymundo
Well that's true. That's evil.
Bobby Bones
I bet a lot of people do 666.
Lunchbox
For sure.
Eddie
Yeah. But if you win money from that. Are you scared of it?
Bobby Bones
I think 777's probably done a lot.
Raymundo
Yes. That's nice.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. 000 is fine. It hit. But like Lunchbox said. I don't know that I'm gonna throw money at this for $500. It's not even that. I think it's not worth it. But I think I'd rather buy a scratch off.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Lunchbox
You'd rather buy a dollar scratch off and have a chance to win $500,000, not 50 cents.
Bobby Bones
Now I sound like Lunchbox though. And I don't like that. Thank you.
Eddie
Hey.
Lunchbox
