Lunchbox
Turn it up.
Bobby Bones
This is the Bobby Bo show. Let's go. Welcome to Tuesday show Morning studio. Morning Bones. So lunchbox kind of fought with some middle school kids. Have you guys heard this story? Does anybody know about me? Okay, then I, I'm gonna remove myself and let him tell it and let you guys make up your own minds. Okay, okay, okay. I recuse myself from the story. Lunchbox, go ahead.
Lunchbox
So my 3 year old and 5 year old were a couple doors down. They have a swing in the front yard and they were just swinging on the swing, having a good old time. And these three middle school dudes go walking by and I don't think anything of it, no big deal. And then here come my 3 year old and 5 year old running home and they look upset and they're like, dada, dada. Those kids told us they were gonna slap us in the face and knock us out of the swing. Why would they say that? And then that's my time. I'm like, what do I do here? I'm like, I'm sorry they said that to him. Do I go confront these middle schoolers or do I just leave them alone? Do I just let it go?
Bobby Bones
I, I would say, I would say leave him alone.
Eddie
Let it go.
Bobby Bones
That's what I would say. You don't win. You don't win. Fighting adults versus kids. Even if you're right, you don't. That's not a win.
Lunchbox
So, so I jumped on my bike.
Eddie
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
See, this is where the adult part gets swept out.
Eddie
Because go to middle schooler, you know.
Lunchbox
Because they're about a block, block and a half away. And I'm like, I'm not gonna run after them. I'll just jump on my bike. And I ride up to him. I said, guys, what are we doing? Does it make you feel cool to talk to a 3 and 5 year old like that? Let's not be a bunch of dumbasses.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you said that to the kids?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Describe the kids you're talking to.
Lunchbox
Maybe 13, probably 8th grade.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
7Th or 8th grade, you know what I mean? And they think they're so funny.
Bobby Bones
Were they just bratty enough to swing on you though? Because then you get into a place where you can't hit back and now you're getting beat up at 13 year olds.
Lunchbox
Maybe.
Eddie
Were they much smaller than you?
Lunchbox
No, because they, they were definitely tall.
Bobby Bones
I mean, did it startle them that an adult man comes up on a bike?
Lunchbox
They're like, oh, I mean we were just playing. And I was like, no, no you can't. Like it's a three and five year old. Does it make you feel tough to talk to him that way? And they're like, okay, I agree with.
Bobby Bones
Everything you said and feel. I think it's tough when you don't know the kids. And what if their parents were nearby watching an adult man come up to them, threaten them, then their parents jump in.
Lunchbox
Hold on, there was no, there was you.
Bobby Bones
I said you did say a curse word and you did.
Lunchbox
Where was the curse word?
Eddie
Dumb. Dumb.
Bobby Bones
A, yeah, that's a curse word. And then secondly, you did approach them on a bike aggressively.
Amy Brown
If we come pedaling up with your.
Bobby Bones
Baseball card in your spokes.
Eddie
He rang his bell when he pulled up.
Bobby Bones
I agree with what you felt. I even agree with what you said. It's just risky to do that with kids because ain't your kids. And you really, you're also going on your 3 and 5 year old's word of exactly how it went down. Hi.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but I mean my three and five year old, they don't ever say anything. I mean, you know what I mean? I did see the kids walk by and then my kids immediately come running back and they look upset. I'm like, man, these kids are threatening a three and five year old.
Bobby Bones
Like how, but how threatening were they really if they're just idiot 13 year olds yelling at kids on a swing.
Amy Brown
And wasn't lunchbox an idiot 13 year old?
Lunchbox
Yeah, but I wouldn't talk trash to a three year old. It's like, you know how small a three year old is? Guys, a three year old is tiny. You know what a three year old looks like when you're 13?
Bobby Bones
Maybe he was taking it on the five year old and three old was just there could have been I again, I agree with how you felt. I don't agree that you should have gone up to the kids and been.
Eddie
Like hey you das, it's definitely risky.
Bobby Bones
It's risky because all he needs another parent.
Lunchbox
I. I didn't call them DAs. I said, let's not be d a same thing.
Bobby Bones
If you're saying it, it's the same thing. It means you are. So let's not.
Lunchbox
Okay, maybe it does. But I felt like I handled the situation because I was like, man, this is the. It was my first time of ever having that moment of, what do you do like other kids messing with your kids.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Did it feel good? Did you win?
Lunchbox
It did feel good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It felt pretty good. I was like, yeah, man. I let those kids know, hey, don't mess with my kids.
Bobby Bones
Do you feel like you were telling you, though a version of you when you were 13?
Lunchbox
A little bit. Because I remember my dad telling some kids when they. They had messed with my brother's car, they had broken the windshield.
Eddie
Oh, gosh.
Lunchbox
And he saw him one day and he told him, don't f with any cars tonight. They're like, excuse me. He goes, let's look, you guys got to go to bed. You want to f with cars. I can f with your car all night, cuz I don't have to go to sleep. Never mess with my brother's car again.
Bobby Bones
But you were also the kid messing with cars.
Lunchbox
I was.
Bobby Bones
And throwing tennis balls on the interstate at people.
Lunchbox
I was, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I feel like I give it a C minus. You get to pass because nothing bad happened. But if I'm grading this whole thing, I give it a C minus. I don't think you should go out after other people's kids, though. Okay. Because they didn't really do anything to your kids except yell at them.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they kind of threatened him. Okay, we'll slap you out of that swing.
Bobby Bones
Amy, what do you. If you're. What do you give his grade for his actions?
Amy Brown
I give him a B honor roll. What?
Bobby Bones
For his reaction.
Amy Brown
But he has to stand up for his kids. And like, I not to other kids.
Bobby Bones
To an adult, maybe. You go to their parents. You find their parents and go to their parents.
Amy Brown
Okay, I know, but you're talking to someone. When those kids stole from my kids, I went and confronted them, and the police told me not to.
Bobby Bones
Why do you think the police told you not to? My point exactly.
Amy Brown
I know.
Bobby Bones
So, like, point exactly.
Lunchbox
Good point. The cops told you not to. That's right. Should probably listen to that.
Eddie
Eddie, let me tell you something. It takes a village. And lunchbox did the right thing by telling them not to mess with his kids.
Amy Brown
A lunchbox A so he got a C, a B and an A. I.
Bobby Bones
Think it's okay to tell kids not to mess with them, but to go up to him on a bike, on the road when you don't know who's around their parents, I think that he puts himself in danger. It's the anonymous in box. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be. Hello, Bobby Bones. At the beginning of our relationship, before things were serious, I cheated on my boyfriend with my ex. We've been together for five years and now we're talking about getting married. But I still carry the guilt like it happened yesterday. He has no idea. And part of me wants to come clean before we take that next step, but I'm terrified it'll destroy everything. Is honesty still the right thing this far down the line? Is it selfish of me to want to clear my conscience at the cost of our relationship? Signed, Regretful Girlfriend. So because it bothers you so much, it's only going to bother you worse. Like this thing's going to fester and eventually it is going to come out because it bothers you like this now, it's going to bother you worse later. That could be next week. It could be five years after you're married. It is only going to intensify. So because it bothers you now, I would say you do need to come clean if you're going. I'm not really bothered by it. And my ex boyfriend's dead, so no one will ever know. Then I could see. Really, it doesn't help anything. There's really no reason. But if it bothers you, it's only going to bother you more the further you go down the railroad tracks. So yes, you absolutely have to tell them because it's going to take away the joy of getting married, the joy of going on your honeymoon, the joy of all these firsts that you're doing as a couple, as a unit. You're always going to think about this and how you're not being honest. It will be difficult if you're very honest about it and he's the person you think he is. He's probably going to, A, react in a way that isn't fun. B, be hurt. C, get over it. D, you guys get married. That would be my prediction because if you're being honest with me, it was before you guys were serious. It still sucks. He also gets to be hurt by it. You have to allow that because that sucks. But it's going to fester because I can tell it bothers you or you wouldn't be emailing me. So, yes, you must tell them. You must do it asap, because the closer you get to getting married, the harder it's going to be. Cat in the Hat, Jack Spratt, eat no fat. Yeah, so that's why I say so. Yes, it's okay. Go do it. Sometimes things are hard, and this is one of those times. But you have to give him. He gets to have his reaction, and that sucks. But you're not going to enjoy it. Like, you will if you don't.
Amy Brown
But also, you're giving him a chance to have a reaction before. He's also married. He'd rather know now, before. Unless y'all are five years in. And then you tell him, and he's like, well, why didn't you tell me this before?
Bobby Bones
That's also a theory. You could do that, too. Then you have them. It's harder for him to break away.
Amy Brown
O, no, no, no. You need to do it before.
Bobby Bones
But my point is, you're not going to enjoy those things if you're not honest with him. You're not going to. So you're not going to enjoy getting married as much if you're not honest with him, because it's already bothering you. So, yeah, let him know. Unless, like, the ex dad. Nobody ever know.
Eddie
That would be nice.
Bobby Bones
Usually people find crap out. Usually, though, people find crap out. Like, generally, it's going to come out eventually. All right, there you go. Close it up, Bones. The whole story is the guy's about to marry this girl, and instead, nine days before the wedding, he runs off with her mom.
Amy Brown
What? No way.
Lunchbox
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Bobby Bones
Like, that's the fast version. Because I want you to stick around and listen to the story. That's the story. So it's wild. 20 year old man. And that has to be about the age where this happens, because you're gonna have to be 19 to 23, and that mom's gonna need to be, like, 18 to 21 years older for there to still be some kind of attraction. That's not. I'm attracted to old people.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Like, maybe there's something deeper.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Right. So. Because you can be 41, 42, and still be hot. Oh, look at Amy right there. Oh, yeah, exactly. Perfect example. Perfect because. Right. I mean, any older. If she's, like, in her 50s and he's. Then it's like, okay, why do you have a memaw fetish?
Amy Brown
Yeah. Like, what's up with that?
Bobby Bones
This just happens to fall right in the area where you can be this 20 year old guy eloped with his 40 year old, soon to be mother in law nine days before the wedding. The groom was set to marry on Wednesday, but on April 6, he left his home under the pretense of shopping for wedding clothes and then later informed his dad, hey, I'm gonna be gone. Don't search for me.
Eddie
That's weird.
Bobby Bones
Which is a weird thing. And I'm thinking, okay, when's the ransom note coming?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But they. And people had said they had an unusual relationship anyway, that it was even noticeable how close they were. So this probably wasn't a last minute. This was probably a should we, shouldn't we, should we, shouldn't we. All the way leading up to it until they ran away. But think of the relationships that have now been busted. Not only him and his soon to be bride. That's the least important of them. How about her and her mom?
Amy Brown
I don't even know.
Lunchbox
They can't talk ever again, ever, ever again.
Bobby Bones
Okay, what about the dad with his son? You think the dad's like, I feel, I feel you son. Because that relationship's not broken.
Lunchbox
Right. He's probably just like, whatever, he's happy.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that he's happy. Probably got. He's gotta think it's weird because you're.
Eddie
Not completely proud of him for doing that.
Bobby Bones
No. But are you proud of him for following his own legend and purpose? Are you like, you know what? You didn't. Something didn't happen that you knew would be a mistake. And I'm glad you did it because that could be a part of it. But man, this is bizarre.
Amy Brown
Like, you can still follow your heart, but like, break up with the daughter. Don't like, just run away. Take some time and then say, okay, I'm dating your mom.
Bobby Bones
That's also weird, but yes.
Eddie
And I'm assuming the mom's single.
Bobby Bones
It does not say that her dad was mad or that the mom's husband was. Yes. My assumption would be yes. So I can give you some more of this. They were seen to have an unusually close relationship. There were frequent phone conversations the daughter chose not to intervene at when things started to. And I think the daughter was feeling like, wow, I love it that they're so close.
Eddie
Yeah. Like an innocent clothes.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
Amy Brown
I mean that would be like moments before Bobby's wedding to Caitlin. He's like, you go off with her mom. I'm trying to just picture it because it's like so weird.
Bobby Bones
I'm not attached to this in any way, even fictionally.
Eddie
But you Know what? Lunchbox and his mother in law, they.
Bobby Bones
Have a thing, but I think, dad.
Lunchbox
We don't have a thing. She has a thing for me.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Lunchbox
She has. She likes to flirt with me. She likes to rub my head. She does makes comments like, gives me eyes and it just sends me text messages. Don't forget to say happy birthday to me. It's like, okay.
Bobby Bones
And you've said that had you acted especially early on, she definitely would have been about.
Lunchbox
About it.
Bobby Bones
But now you don't think so because you got kids and grandkids.
Lunchbox
I would hope not.
Bobby Bones
You would hope, but you're not for sure.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm not 100. I don't want to commit to that.
Amy Brown
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
This is from Oddity Central. And everything had to work exactly right for this to happen. Also, 20, you're too young to get married anyway.
Amy Brown
Oh, there's a lot of 20 year olds that still do it.
Bobby Bones
Right. Which still doesn't mean that that's the age. Until you're like 35, just chill.
Lunchbox
35, yeah, 35 sounds good.
Bobby Bones
Every guy's like, yep, until you're 35 as a dude, just chill.
Eddie
Right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. A guy develops a fungal lung infection. Now this one does remind me of Lunchbox. Oh, so he has fungus in his lungs because he has a habit of smelling his dirty socks.
Lunchbox
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
And you do this?
Lunchbox
I do. Every time I take my socks off, I smell them and what's funny is I take the right one off and I smell it and then I take the left one off and I smell it. They probably smell about the same, but I smell both of them just to see what it is. It's sort of like when I get ready for a soccer game. I sniff my shin guards every time.
Bobby Bones
So he was hurting, he was wheezing, his cough began to get more and more painful and his eyes were bloodshot. So he goes to the doctor and they look in his lungs and there's like suspicious shadows, what they call them. So they did a bronchoscopy where they go into his bronchial and they're like, hey, this is infected. So then they go into his home and they're like, okay, let's check out the air. That's the first thing you're thinking, like, what's the air circulation? All good through conversation. And look, if it's me, I don't think I'm ever admitting that I'm smelling my socks. I think I'm getting to that point in my head and going, oh, I should just stop this. But no, that's what it was. After taking a pair of his dirty socks and analyzing it, doctors found traces of two awful. I can't even pronounce type bacteria.
Amy Brown
Guys.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And they determined that his habit was causing the infection.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Amy Brown
Is that how he got his yeast.
Eddie
Infection lunchboxes you were licking.
Bobby Bones
Do you eat your socks, dude?
Lunchbox
No, I don't eat them. I just sniff them. Just smell them?
Amy Brown
Yeah. The particles like can. If he's taking a whiff, it could go to his throat.
Bobby Bones
Worn socks contain sweat, salt, urea, and the warm humid environment inside the shoe promotes fungal growth. So if you're sniffing them, that's going inside of your nose.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
That's crazy that if you smell something into your lungs, so does that go like spoiled milk? Like whatever bacteria that is, I think.
Bobby Bones
You'Re smelling a lot of it. And it's not just the smell of it, it's the actual particles.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That you're breathing in.
Amy Brown
Like if you have in your home, like you. It does a lot of damage internally.
Bobby Bones
Because you're probably just smelling it. It's sniffing it. Yes.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And it wasn't once. But yours isn't once either.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. So, Eddie, you smell the milk once, it's not probably jumping into your lungs, it's probably every day.
Bobby Bones
So what did you learn from this?
Lunchbox
That I could get an infection in my lungs. Not that I'm going to quit, but I'm going to keep doing it because you want to know how your socks smell.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to know.
Amy Brown
This isn't enough to me.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that I've ever just smelled my socks.
Lunchbox
Seriously.
Eddie
He's addicted. He can't quit.
Bobby Bones
Like the people that eat their hair.
Lunchbox
It's not an addiction. It's just a.
Bobby Bones
That's the first thing people say.
Lunchbox
It's a habit.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Fine line between habit and addiction.
Lunchbox
It's like biting your fingernails. It's a habit. You do it. It's something you started doing and you just keep doing it.
Eddie
It's important to kick it now.
Bobby Bones
Now this makes sense as to why he has all the infections all the time. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me.
Amy Brown
When Natalia terrine, a 28 year old pregnant woman in South Carolina, felt a tight feeling in her jaw, she decided to enter her symptoms into chat GPT. So she's telling AI this is what's going on. And so her phone's like, check your blood pressure now. So she does and it's 142 over 109. When she enters those numbers into her phone, they reply back with call an ambulance.
Bobby Bones
Now, I don't know what those numbers mean.
Eddie
I don't either.
Bobby Bones
And also, how do you check your blood pressure?
Amy Brown
She must have a blood pressure.
Bobby Bones
Must have, like, something. Yeah. Okay, that's not a thing. We. We can't, like, feel it ourselves, right?
Eddie
I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
No, it's not like your heart rate, but this is a high number for her. So when she gets to the emergency room, her blood pressure had gotten even higher. So they diagnosed her with this serious, like, pregnancy related blood pressure condition, and they ended up inducing her. So she gave birth that night. If she had just gone to bed with these symptoms and not entered them into her phone, which she was considering doing, she could have died.
Bobby Bones
So is AI Chat GPT? Whichever one you want to use. Is that the new Apple Watch?
Amy Brown
Huh?
Eddie
I guess.
Amy Brown
Get all your info?
Eddie
Yeah, but you have to tell it, though. Doesn't Apple Watch just tell you?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but Apple Watch tells me to stand up, too. I don't like that, like, Apple Watch tells me too much crap.
Eddie
You stand.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy Brown
You know why it's telling you to stand up, though? Cuz sitting is the new smoking.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not. But I hear you. I understand what you're saying, but it's not.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's crazy.
Eddie
I've been smoking all day.
Bobby Bones
No, because sometimes I need to sit down. If I'm up a lot, I never need to smoke.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm addicted.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy Brown
Okay, so shout out Chat GPT and Natalia for entering her symptoms. There.
Bobby Bones
That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Imagine you're on a flight and you land and it's kind of late and you can't get off the flight because they don't have the proper protocol to get you off the flight. And sometimes this happens in the middle of the day and they're like, hey, everybody, we're delayed, so we can't let you off the flight. But imagine you have to do it overnight. So listen to this. Go.
Lunchbox
Lorraine Fousci. Just one of nearly 300 Delta passengers forced to stay aboard two grounded planes for more than six hours overnight in Montgomery, Alabama.
Bobby Bones
We had pretzels over and over again.
Amy Brown
After a while, I did take a nap.
Lunchbox
The airline says severe thunderstorms forced two international flights, one from Mexico City, the other from Cabo San Lucas, both heading to Atlanta's international Airport to divert to Montgomery's Much smaller regional airport. Delta says that airport didn't have customs staff to process international passengers. So everyone had to stay put until the airport worked out a plan with federal officials.
Bobby Bones
They got no customs because they didn't mean to land there because the thunderstorms. So for six hours they sat on the plane. It was overnight. So if I'm the airline, I think what I'm doing is slow rolling the six hours. Because if you're letting everybody know, hey, we landed, there's nobody here, this is going to be four, five, six hours. They're, they're, they're going to flip their crap, they're going to revolt. Oh, like there's going to be fights. So I think I slow roll it. All right. Anytime now, we could have somebody arriving and the irritation level will slowly build. But you will, you will also have people on the flight going, relax, everybody. Well, if you just like over. We're overnight. Everybody's going crazy.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's tough, man.
Eddie
That's tough because I understand the airline, they had to like they were in Montgomery.
Bobby Bones
I got a question, and this is one of those two that's not like you land and we're not going to let you back in the airport because those are. That, that feels a bit different. You just came from the airport. And so now we're going to be stuck for a few hours. We can let you go back in the airport, but we got to recheck everybody. This is a bit different because it's from another country, right? So but if you get on that thing and they're like, no, we're here for six hours overnight. You don't think they're going crazy on that flight.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's so terrible.
Bobby Bones
Where if they landed in Atlanta, it's different. They, if they got all the way to Atlanta or they got to Miami or they had to divert to another place where people come from other countries. But that sucks. You want to hear another weird one? There's a teacher, and it was even, I think, a vice principal. She was having kids rub her feet.
Amy Brown
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Bobby Bones
Well, so what?
Amy Brown
And I was a woman.
Bobby Bones
Let me give you the story first. So a Florida middle school vice principal was arrested after she made a 13 year old student rub her feet, insisting she was giving the boy whom she nicknamed Sexy Chocolate practice for his future girlfriend.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Amy Brown
What? She's a principal or. Nice.
Bobby Bones
They didn't say anything about it went anything more than the photo.
Eddie
That's all you need, man.
Bobby Bones
I hear you. Let me read the story. A little more, doctor. Dr. Keeva Lark, 53, was discipline disciplining the student in her office for throwing a paper ball across the classroom. When she kicked off her shoes, put her legs across his lap and said, rub my feet, since you don't have anything better to do with your hands. Says he was throwing paperweight. So she's like, all right, well, if you want to use your hands, let's use them for something good. Lark was then heard scolding the boy for not rubbing her feet to her liking and showed how she wanted to be massaged by touching the child's arm and shoulder. Like, she'd grab and be like, do it like this. Right. Witnesses said she went as far as to tell the teen to rub her feet like he loved her and told the boy she was showing him how to give her a massage. So that's from the New York Post.
Amy Brown
Oh.
Bobby Bones
So let's talk about this first. By itself, in a vacuum. Weird, right? Like, if you're a principal or a vice principal or a doctor, which she is, you have to have an elevated education to do, yet you still make this irresponsible of a decision. You can't have a kid rub your feet. You'll probably get in trouble for having somebody who works under you as a teacher rub your feet.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, much less a kid. Like, if you bring a teacher in, like a substitute teacher. All right. Rub them like you love me. You're probably gonna get in trouble for that, too, even though that's an adult. Right. So bad all the way around. Like, how does a vice principal, who has, again, a doctorate, probably in education, do something so dumb? Go ahead, Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
I don't think it's that bad. One of my teachers used to have asked for volunteers to rub her feet.
Bobby Bones
And would you do it?
Lunchbox
Students would all the time.
Bobby Bones
That's my question. Would you do it?
Lunchbox
Did it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Wait, did it rub her?
Eddie
Really?
Lunchbox
Yeah. She would kick off her shoes while she's reading the story, and we'd rub her feet. I don't see the big deal.
Amy Brown
Did she call you?
Bobby Bones
You do see the big deal. Now as an adult, you do see the big deal. Forget the nickname, because the nickname, I. I think that brings in a sexy part of it that really isn't part of the story other than a nickname.
Eddie
Who gave him the nickname?
Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter, because he wasn't touched. She wasn't having him touch her in a place that was sexy. Right.
Lunchbox
I didn't think it was that. I mean, that's why I Look at it. It's like, okay, she's trying to teach him. Like, hey, if you're gonna throw paper wads, like rub my. Like you have something else you can do.
Bobby Bones
You don't think that, right?
Lunchbox
I don't think it's a big deal. They rub her feet.
Bobby Bones
What do you don't think it's a, like a real lack of judgment? Like a bad, like a judgment by somebody who you expect to have great judgment because they're using judgment over children.
Lunchbox
Is foot rub really that bad?
Bobby Bones
Yes, Any rub shoulder. I think if you have a 13 year old doing rubbing on adults that are their bosses, basically, that would be like me ordering you guys to come rub me every day and saying you're.
Amy Brown
Prepping us for our relationship.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's not good judgment just because you did it again. This is with him. He thinks if it happened to him when he was a kid, that it still should be allowed.
Eddie
And lunchbox, now that you're older, looking back at you rubbing your teacher's face, feet. That's not weird to you?
Lunchbox
Nothing. It's gross. I'm like, oh my gosh, she had her feet in her shoes. You know what I mean? She'd take her shoes off and we'd rub her feet. Like, that's disgusting.
Bobby Bones
So it's gross, but not weird.
Lunchbox
But it's not weird. Like, it's like a, like, that's so weird. First or second or third grade, you idolize your teacher. So you think rubbing her feet is so cool.
Amy Brown
I think that.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not.
Eddie
No, it's different that you're idolizing your teacher. So you do anything like, that's dangerous, that's dangerous.
Lunchbox
But it's just like you're. Oh, she wants. It's not. You guys are looking at it weird.
Bobby Bones
And like, even if none of the nicknames happen, any of the. If you just have a 13 year old come to your office and rub your feet as a vice principal.
Amy Brown
Not good.
Bobby Bones

Topshelfcountrycruise.com I was calling because I wanted to try to win Bobby's fancy shoes, the white ones with like the diamonds or whatever heat that are on them. For my brother, my brother is a size 11. He's firefighter and he gives so much to his family. And I thought like the fancy ones might be nice for him, like when he goes out his wife or goes to like a nice event at the fire department. So please call me back if I can play a game to win some shoes for him. Thank you. You got it. We have her on right now. So that was a voicemail. And her name is Leanne. Leanne. Good morning. Good morning, Bobby. Morning, studio. Morning. So here's what's going to happen here is we'll have three players. Leanne can pick one of you to represent her in this game. And if you win, she wins. Now if you're new to the show. You're like, why is Bobby giving away shoes? I'm at the stage in my life where I'm like, I have excess, and I don't want to be excess guy, so I'm just giving away stuff. I have a lot of shoes. I love shoes. Didn't have shoes as a kid, like, good ones, so I bought a bunch of them, and now I don't wear them all. So I don't want to have them all just sitting around the house when other people can use them. So this is a very expensive pair of shoes. And we're gonna play a game that we played last week called brand name or generic name. And so, for example, if I were to say Xerox, I give you a product, you decide if it's the brand name or if it's the generic form. Xerox. Amy, what would you think that is?
Amy Brown
Brand name.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox, I guess.
Lunchbox
Brand. Brand name. But I don't even know what Xerox does. What does it mean?
Eddie
Okay, Eddie, that's a brand name, because.
Bobby Bones
What do you think the generic name would be?
Eddie
Copy machine.
Bobby Bones
Copy machine, yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's what it is. Okay. I was like, I don't even know what it. Got it.
Bobby Bones
Do you want one more example? Because I feel like there's no way she's picking Lunchbox after that one, so I want to give one more in case she wants to pick her. Okay.
Lunchbox
No, I mean, I'm ready, but she.
Bobby Bones
May not pick you, because she'll lose. Okay, let's do one more. Styrofoam. Is that the brand name? Is that a brand, or is it the generic name?
Lunchbox
There's a brand. Like, there's different types of that.
Amy Brown
That's.
Bobby Bones
That's the question Leanne's listening to, because sometimes, like, people could go Q tip, but actually it's like a, you know, ear clean. Good one. Yeah. So this is that, though. Amy, what do you think? Styrofoam.
Amy Brown
That's the generic lunchbox.
Lunchbox
That's generic, Eddie.
Eddie
Yeah, it's generic.
Bobby Bones
It is the brand name. The generic name. It's a tough one. Is polystyrene foam, and Styrofoam is a company. Oh, God. Okay, Lynn, pick your player. Pick your player. Good luck, Amy. Lunchbox. I'm gonna go with Eddie because he sounded the most confident during the first.
Eddie
Round, and I got it right.
Bobby Bones
Did you hear me, ladies and gentlemen? We have 1, 2, 3, 5 of these. Brand name versus generic name. Here we go. Thermos.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. I've Heard Thermos.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, I would hope you'd heard of it.
Eddie
Thermos is definitely.
Lunchbox
Well, hold on, hold on.
Bobby Bones
They're playing.
Lunchbox
What are you doing?
Bobby Bones
What are you doing?
Eddie
Oh, I thought I was just playing by myself.
Bobby Bones
No, you're playing to beat them.
Eddie
I got you. I got it. Easy.
Bobby Bones
He was getting pretty bald there.
Lunchbox
I was like, dang, dude, you just want to blurt it out.
Bobby Bones
Thermos.
Eddie
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
And he's over three and understanding even.
Eddie
Yeah, I get it now. I get it. My bad.
Bobby Bones
We've also played this game fully one day.
Lunchbox
Yeah. But I'm trying to think of what the alternative is.
Bobby Bones
Thermos.
Lunchbox
Like, I'm trying to think.
Bobby Bones
That's a good way to think of it. Thermos.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. I'm in.
Amy Brown
Amy, it's a brand.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
That's generic.
Eddie
Eddie, that is a brand.
Bobby Bones
It is a brand. The generic name is a vacuum flask.
Eddie
Oh.
Bobby Bones
So thermos brand number two. Stun gun brand or generic? Stun gun.
Eddie
I'm in. What are you looking at, Amy?
Amy Brown
Thinking, what do you think I'm looking at?
Bobby Bones
That was weird. She's staring you down. The UFC eyes.
Eddie
Just trying to look at lunch. House of paper, but from, like, a mile away, like, why are you trying.
Lunchbox
To look at mine? Like, why are you trying.
Bobby Bones
All right, guys, Stun gun.
Amy Brown
I'm in.
Lunchbox
Oh, I've been in. I'm in for the win. This is easy one.
Bobby Bones
I got sidetracked by whatever cheating Amy was trying to do there.
Amy Brown
Amy, that is generic Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
No, it's a brand. The generic is Taser.
Eddie
Eddie, I'm with Lunchbox. It's a brand name.
Bobby Bones
Well, there's a popular brand called Taser. Oh, no, it is generic.
Eddie
No, we had it backwards, dude.
Amy Brown
And I had it.
Bobby Bones
Score. Amy two, Lunchbox zero, Eddie one. Three to go. Vaseline. Brand name or generic product?
Lunchbox
I'm in for the win.
Eddie
I'm in.
Lunchbox
I finally get it.
Eddie
You finally get the game.
Bobby Bones
You're a little late, though.
Amy Brown
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Rachel started, like, an hour ago.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
That's a brand.
Amy Brown
Amy brand.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Eddie
That's a brand name.
Bobby Bones
Good job.
Amy Brown
What's the generic? Petroleum jelly.
Bobby Bones
Petroleum jelly. Okay, two left. Amy's in the lead.
Lunchbox
It's gonna take a miracle for me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Inline skates. Inline skates.
Amy Brown
I'm in.
Lunchbox
I'm in for the win.
Eddie
I'm in. Eddie, we go generic.
Amy Brown
Amy, it's generic.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
It's absolutely generic.
Eddie
Okay, good.
Bobby Bones
The brand is rollerblade. That we would know. Inline skates are generic. Last one, Eddie. You need to get it right. Amy needs to miss it.
Eddie
Worth five points.
Bobby Bones
Nope. Velcro. Velcro.
Lunchbox
I'm back to being confused.
Eddie
Just like that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's tough.
Eddie
I'm in.
Lunchbox
I'm in for the win. Come on, Amy.
Eddie
Amy's thinking a lot over there. A lot of pressure.
Lunchbox
Amy, you just had to guess what eddie guesses, right?
Bobby Bones
50.
Eddie
50.
Amy Brown
But, I mean, I also wanted to win, but I'm not gonna lose. Don't worry.
Bobby Bones
I almost shouldn't let the players know who's they picked because Amy has a heart, and Amy will start wanting to lose for the caller.
Eddie
No, she just said she wouldn't know.
Bobby Bones
I know, but I could tell it was, like, affecting her because she has actually.
Amy Brown
Yeah, but then I thought about that guy that tallies up all of our wins and losses. I fast forwarded in my brain to the end of the year when he calls with the final numbers, and I. I don't want to be a loser.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to be a loser.
Amy Brown
So.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Velcro.
Amy Brown
Amy, that is generic.
Bobby Bones
That's wrong. Yes. Yes.
Amy Brown
No, no.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, I have a brand. Okay, that's correct. Lunchbox brand.
Amy Brown
Wait, what is it called? Sticky stuff. Yeah, that's not sticky, but, like, sticks.
Bobby Bones
That'd be a terrible name if. So, just for the record.
Amy Brown
Not that a man invented Velcro.
Bobby Bones
It was. It's called Hook and Loop fastener.
Amy Brown
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
And Velcro was the first brand that really popped, so everybody calls it Velcro. So we have a tie. Lunchbox is out.
Lunchbox
See you. Dude.
Bobby Bones
We have a tie. Sudden death between Amy and Eddie. Leanne, how you feeling over there? I'm super nervous, but, Eddie, you got this. Come on.
Eddie
Thank you, Leanne. We got this. I agree with her.
Bobby Bones
Brand name or generic Frisbee. Oh, boy. Is Frisbee a brand name of a product that was already. Or is it. That's just the generic name of the thing.
Eddie
I'm in.
Amy Brown
Hi, man.
Bobby Bones
Amy. Yeah, no, that's why you did. That's what you give me your answer. Okay, okay, okay.
Amy Brown
Hear me out.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. Don't. Just give us the answer. I don't want you to hear me out.
Amy Brown
Okay. It's the. Frisbee's the brand.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. I can hear you out in a second, Eddie.
Eddie
Oh, Frisbee's the brand.
Bobby Bones
Amy, now I want to hear you out first.
Amy Brown
He's a brand. Because I think it's a flying disc.
Eddie
That was the hear me out.
Lunchbox
That was all it is.
Bobby Bones
No more hearing her out.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy Brown
Or around Frisbee is a brand plate.
Bobby Bones
It's a flying disc. Oh, yes.
Lunchbox
You heard her out. You heard her out. Hey, you almost got a bonus point.
Bobby Bones
There, okay, for hearing her out. Onesie.
Amy Brown
Oh.
Lunchbox
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
Onesie. A onesie.
Amy Brown
A onesie.
Bobby Bones
Is that a brand name or the generic term for something? A onesie. And if you miss this one, we go to sudden, sudden death.
Amy Brown
A onesie.
Bobby Bones
Onesie.
Eddie
I'm in.
Amy Brown
Is there an original onesie? Onesie.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy Brown
You're already in.
Eddie
I'm in. I wrote something down here.
Bobby Bones
I'm out.
Eddie
I have nothing to say.
Amy Brown
Okay, okay.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy Brown
Generic.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Eddie
I have brand.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Amy Brown
We got a winner.
Lunchbox
Let's ask her what she thinks. Ask her what she thinks.
Amy Brown
Let's hear each other out.
Bobby Bones
Hold on, Lunchbox. What do you think? What do you think?
Lunchbox
Generic.
Bobby Bones
You think onesie's generic?
Amy Brown
Yes.
Bobby Bones
So you side with Amy.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Because, like, when you get a baby, you get a onesie, and then you have adults. You can buy a onesie, but they're not made by the same company.
Bobby Bones
And Eddie, you pick brand. Do you. Do you regret picking brand?
Eddie
No. Cuz it sounds like a brand. One Z.
Amy Brown
You didn't say one Z.
Bobby Bones
No, it's onesie. It's not one Z.
Amy Brown
Okay, okay.
Eddie
Like, hear me out, though. Like, they're probably in a boardroom being like, what's a good name for this product? One Z.
Amy Brown
But okay, if. If onesie's the brand, then what is the generic of that? Like, Unisuit.
Bobby Bones
Leanne. Leanne. Who do you. What do you think's right? What would you pick for onesie?
Amy Brown
I would have picked generic.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so all three of them would have picked generic. Eddie, you're the only one to pick brand.
Amy Brown
It could be a brand, guys. It could be.
Lunchbox
Oh, he's setting us up for the. We're all idiots. And Eddie's smart.
Eddie
I could be the smartest.
Amy Brown
It's like Kleenex.
Bobby Bones
You ever watch College Game Day?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And pretty much everybody picked the same team. Yeah. And then you know what happens? Yeah. That team loses. Yeah.
Lunchbox
That's what happened here.
Bobby Bones
Come on.
Lunchbox
Come on, Leanne. She beat against you, dude. What?
Bobby Bones
No, she picked. The answer is.
Eddie
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Bobby Bones
Brand name.
Michael B. Jordan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Eddie, you are the winner. Nice job. Leanne. Congratulations. How do you feel? Thank you. I feel amazing. Love it. My brother's gonna be so excited. Yeah. Yeah. I don't care what you do.
Amy Brown
We're happy.
Bobby Bones
No, no.
Eddie
Tell your brother I want it for him.
Bobby Bones
No, you can just say. You can say you bought him for him. I have. No, me. No, no, not you. No.
Amy Brown
She should say she won them whatever she wants. Fun.
Bobby Bones
Okay, thank you. Leanne, stand hold. Okay. Thank you. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Mom and her kid were moving furniture, and they moved this one chair, and there was a scratch off underneath the chair, and it was a $5 holiday luck doubler, and so wasn't scratched. And the kid was like, can I scratch it? So they scratch it, and it's $50,000. It was underneath the chair unscratched, Man.
Lunchbox
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Is it?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The family chose to remain anonymous, but they are. That's just crazy. It was. They dropped it, forgot about it, scratched it, and hit. I've been scratching since January 1st, and I'm not a big, passionate scratcher, but I thought, can I hit a thousand bucks before the end of the year? And I'm down, like, 500 bucks overall, but I'm happy for them. Lunchbox gets so mad when people win. Yeah.
Lunchbox
It's irritating when they don't take. They're not responsible with their tickets. It's just kind of like, oh, I don't even care. Oh, I have these tickets, and they're just kind of like, blah. And they throw them wherever, and then they forget about them. They find them.
Bobby Bones
You can drop stuff sometimes accidentally you've done that with probably car keys. Yeah, but not knowing where your kid was for a minute.
Lunchbox
Yes, I understand that. But if it's something to win millions of dollars, I am taking it right then scratching it or checking the numbers. Right then. I'm not. I never have lost a winning lottery ticket, let's put it that way.
Bobby Bones
They're to use half the winnings to save for a house and to do some stuff with their house. And the other half, they're going to go and just spend. Buy some cool stuff.
Eddie
That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty cool. That's from the New York Post. That's what it's all about.
Lunchbox
That was.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good, bones. All right, time for Amy's morning Corny.
Lunchbox
The morning Corny.
Amy Brown
How does a carrot motivate you?
Bobby Bones
How does a carrot motivate you?
Amy Brown
It roots for you.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that was the morning Corny.
Amy Brown
It's a root vegetable.
Bobby Bones
No, we got you here. Hit that one. Number five. What is a hillbilly deer called with no eyes? No idea.
Eddie
So funny.
Amy Brown
Okay, I've told it what am I supposed to do?
Lunchbox
Whoa, whoa. Don't. Get off.
Amy Brown
Eddie was, like, basically saying, not Amy. That's how you tell a joke. I know. Well, am I supposed to tell that one every month?
Bobby Bones
You could have. Let's do Tuesday reviews day. I've not finished anything. I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff, but I'm not finished anything, so I have nothing to share. Mike D. Tuesday reviews day, I watched a new movie called Drop. It's about this woman who goes on a date, gets an airdrop from this guy threatening her, saying she's gonna kill her babysitter and her son if she doesn't kill her date. Oh, that's a new interesting way to threaten somebody. To airdrop them. Yeah. She just started getting all these messages, and then they tell her to check her security cameras and she sees a guy inside her.
Amy Brown
Oh, my gosh. Where. Where do you watch this?
Bobby Bones
It's in theaters right now. It's called Drop. Yeah. What do you rate it overall? The acting was pretty bad, but it was really entertaining. I give it 3.5 out of 5 memes. How does it. How's acting bad now? They act very, like, over the top, very dramatic, but you're, like, so sucked into the story that it's good. Eddie tried to airdrop Lunchbox something randomly the other day.
Eddie
He declined it twice.
Bobby Bones
He didn't know you were airdropping him. He could have thought it was this.
Amy Brown
He thought Eddie had been hacked.
Bobby Bones
Amy, do you have anything?
Amy Brown
Nope, not that I'm done with Eddie.
Eddie
I have finally finished White Lotus. Never got to talk about it. All done with White Lotus.
Bobby Bones
Well, be careful.
Eddie
I'm not saying anything other than I love it.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
Yeah, I love it, and I will give it four and a half. Gosh, I can't even give it anything.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yes. A boat. A boat.
Eddie
Four and a half boat.
Lunchbox
Let's go, baby.
Bobby Bones
Don't be so scared to review something. So you're reviewing season three?
Eddie
Season three of Wild Lotus. I loved it.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
No, we got problems in my house. My wife goes to bed at 9:00, so we can't watch any show. So it's really getting frustrating.
Bobby Bones
You don't watch anything by yourself?
Lunchbox
No, because we're in the middle of stuff together, and so I can't just move on. The only thing I watch by myself is Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But I haven't finished a new season yet, so I'm just kind of there.
Amy Brown
Isn't it interesting how inconsiderate he is in all other areas. But he's very considerate with this.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's interesting that she obviously wears the pants and we find that out in. In small ways.
Lunchbox
No, no. We start watching a show, and she falls asleep, and I'm like.
Bobby Bones
Well, you're always like, I do what I want.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I do.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy Brown
Good point.
Bobby Bones
So we only had two reviews today. That means we have lives. Good for us.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
We finally have lives. My final round, Lunchbox against Abby. They're playing trivia now. The winner gets this pin made of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball floor. They're both big Jayhawks fans. Abby went to school there. Lunchbox saw it on the Internet.
Amy Brown
He knows it's true.
Lunchbox
No, it's not true. I've seen it in person.
Eddie
Like, how many times?
Lunchbox
Like three or four. Been a couple of basketball games there.
Bobby Bones
What about you, Abby? How many times you been.
Amy Brown
I can't even count, honestly.
Bobby Bones
20?
Amy Brown
Yes. Every game, every year for four years.
Bobby Bones
So lunchbox and Abby. And he is a big Jayhawks fan, but Abby went to school there. They're playing for this pin. It's a very valuable pin made of. Again, the floor of the Kansas Jayhawks basketball arena.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Allen Field house. I've been on that court.
Bobby Bones
Have you ever been on the court?
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Didn't sound very believable.
Bobby Bones
For the win. The game we're gonna play is because we do want this. We want this to go to a great home. This is going to be Kansas trivia.
Lunchbox
Oh, like Kansas basketball.
Bobby Bones
Just Kansas trivia.
Lunchbox
Oh, God.
Eddie

Yeah, I feel like I can sing that one pretty good.
Eddie
Oh, it's not bad.
Bobby Bones
I feel like I'm almost there. Like I know I can't sing it like him, but like yo ass smooth as Tennessee whiskey. I'm 73 there.
Eddie
You even have the vibrato, which is.
Bobby Bones
That's him there. That's not me. Don't get confused. Yeah, yeah. Tennessee Whiskey 47. Happy birthday. Top five things that you Might not know about Chris Stapleton from our show number five. He almost didn't perform with Justin Timberlake at the CMAs. That legendary performance of Tennessee whiskey. And people forget drink you away because that was a JT song. It almost didn't happen because Chris was hesitant. He didn't think he was big enough. Luckily, he was number four. He doesn't warm up his voice before a show. Instead, he takes a different approach. No.
Eddie
Well, I kind of write the status of warm up.
Lunchbox
I don't put the. The heavy hitter out of the gate.
Eddie
Sometimes I cry.
Lunchbox
It's always a heavy hitter.
Bobby Bones
When you play that song, you feel like you have to do that. Like you have to do that. Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Whatever I got in me is gonna get done on that one.
Bobby Bones
So he probably starts with, like, his easy songs, like the one I do. Oh, I'm 81 there on that one. I'm finding it.
Amy Brown
You're getting there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm getting there. Like he does in a set at number three. He worked as an ice delivery driver before becoming successful. He described it as a physical job that involved filling ice coolers at gas stations. He drove around, and he was talking about it with me.
Lunchbox
Oh, I drove. You ever see at the gas station?
Eddie
It's like the Home City Ice.
Bobby Bones
We delivered ice.
Eddie
Delivered ice.
Bobby Bones
Did you have to bag dies or just. I know I didn't have to bag it.
Lunchbox
I just delivered it.
Bobby Bones
All right. You were one of the higher uppers. Yeah. There were two times.
Eddie
Did you work at Home City Ice?
Bobby Bones
I had to bag the ice. That's the difference. He was up. It was like when I did maintenance on a golf course. There were the kids who were the rich kids who got to be the golf cart kids and make sure that people got their golf carts. And then there were us. It was definitely a class division. The lower kids who had to do the maintenance. Same with ice. I had to bag it.
Eddie
So you didn't answer the question, though.
Bobby Bones
What?
Eddie
Did you work at Home City Ice?
Bobby Bones
Nah, I worked in the marina, so I know how to fix boats. Like the one weird thing. I know a few things about boats. He was valedictorian when he graduated high school. He talked about it with me on a bobby cast. Why? He did not give a speech, but what he did instead.
Eddie
I am terrified of public speaking. I don't like. I don't like.
Bobby Bones
You didn't speak at your high school?
Lunchbox
I didn't. Let me tell you what I did. I wrote a song and played a song.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's such a Stableton thing to do. Yeah, that's legit. Yeah. They didn't even know what they had then. Yeah, they didn't even know. And then he's written over 170 songs for other artists, including Drink a Beer for Luke Bryant and Crash and Burn for Thomas Rhett. He also wrote youe man for Josh Turner. And this is way early 2013. He came and performed it in our studio.
Lunchbox
Baby, lock the door and turning lies down low Put some music on a soft and slow Baby, we ain't got no place to go I hope you.
Eddie
Understand I've been thinking about this all day long.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's legit, huh?
Amy Brown
So good.
Eddie
Can you do that one?
Bobby Bones
Nope. I get. The only one I can really do is you ask Smooth. Oh, I lost it. I took a half step back there.
Amy Brown
If you can do that, you can do the other.
Bobby Bones
Amy. It's different. You don't get us vocalists.
Amy Brown
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
We all have a tone and a texture that we pursue.
Amy Brown
Right.
Bobby Bones
Isn't it the one thing Chris did that was awesome? I love Chris. Chris has always been so nice to me. We have a bit of a personal. I say bit. A bit of a personal relationship outside of the show. And I asked Chris to do a song for our radio Thon. And he was like, yeah, no problem. So he sent a song, and what was even cooler was he did a cover. He did Leanne Womack's I hope you Dance. It's freaking awesome. And I just wanted to play it and say, happy birthday. Chris Stapleton, 47 years old today. He's on my kidney list.
Amy Brown
Like, you donated?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I thought about it during the song because anytime I've ever asked him for anything, he's been like, no problem. Regardless. If it's like, will you do a song for this? Will you show up and play at this event that I'm at? Chris is always there. So I'm adding Chris to my kidney list.
Amy Brown
Dang.
Bobby Bones
I know there's a lot. There's not many people on it. I don't even want to share the kidney list because I don't think one of them would kill me.
Amy Brown
What? Why?
Eddie
To get the kidney?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I mean, you know, let's say you secretly know you got a kidney disease.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And you know, I got one. And then I'd be like, yeah, for sure. I. I don't want to die for it.
Amy Brown
Right. But if you're saying that you'll donate to me, why would I kill you for it?
Bobby Bones
To get it.
Eddie
I mean, you're assuming you're on the list.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, you are. That's a big assumption because you got my driver's license and it says kidney donor. No, no. Organ donor. Not just kidney. Organ donor.
Amy Brown
We'd have to match first of all.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. I don't. That's why I was like, I'm never telling anybody who's in my will because they'll kill me.
Amy Brown
What? This is not how life works.
Bobby Bones
I hope you dance anyway. That's awesome. Happy birthday, Chris. I'm sure you're not listening, but just know we're throwing the good energy at you right now. In the news coming up in a second, do women find bearded men more hot? Less hot? Also, they talk about tequila. And does tequila actually make you crazier than other alcohols?
Amy Brown
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
What are your thoughts?
Amy Brown
I thought you were gonna say, does tequila really make your clothes?
Bobby Bones
Well, that would be crazier. Sure.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Okay.
Bobby Bones
You think tequila makes you crazier than other alcohols?
Amy Brown
It's an upper.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Do you think tequila? Yes. Okay. Lunchbox. Do you?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
Whiskey.
Eddie
Whiskey.
Amy Brown
I guess I don't know much about whiskey.
Bobby Bones
Okay, we'll come back next. Bones, at what point in your battery life do you start to panic that you may have a dead battery phone?
Amy Brown
Oh, do I start to panic? Let's see. It's dropping pretty quickly. Once I get to 10%. Like, when I'm there, it could go to 1% pretty fast. So I start to panic around 10. But before my phone started acting up like that, I could go to 2%.
Bobby Bones
2.
Amy Brown
I may switch it to low battery mode at that point.
Bobby Bones
I don't even know that mode.
Amy Brown
You don't go to battery and click low battery mode, and it's yellow.
Bobby Bones
Get low. I mean, almost never.
Amy Brown
Yeah, but sometimes you might be in a pinch. You've never had to rely on low battery mode?
Bobby Bones
No. I don't even know what that is.
Amy Brown
Okay, just for anybody else listening, you can go to battery and hit the toggle low battery mode, and it'll give you more battery time if you're desperate.
Bobby Bones
Does it turn it into, like, a rotary dial phone? You can't do anything but call your grandma.
Amy Brown
I guess it shuts down other things that maybe eat up your battery life so that you can serve.
Bobby Bones
Researchers have pinpointed exactly when the battery life worry kicks in. Now, for me, it's probably 58.
Amy Brown
58.
Bobby Bones
That's amazing, because if I get below 50, I'm freaking out. I'm thinking, what if I end up somewhere and I have no battery and I have to save my life for someone else's. So around 58, I start to go, oh, crap, I need to find a charger. Most at 38%. That is the panic percentage for most Americans. The number arrives long before most phones display any warning signs. IPhone batteries only turn red when they drop below 20%. My wife has her setting on. It just tells you the number percentage up in the corner the whole time.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I have that too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't have that. I just have, you know, as it goes away, it eats away the black and the battery. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if it's below 58%, I start to freak out a little bit. That's from talker research. Beards make a man look more distinguished, but do they make a guy look more attractive?
Amy Brown
Yes.
Bobby Bones
You say yes. Bearded men are usually regarded if they have them, it makes them older looking but more masculine. But in the study, it did not equate to any more than usual when it came to how good looking they were. In fact, a lot of people found them as a turn off and associated them with being dirty.
Amy Brown
What?
Bobby Bones
Nobody was turned off by a clean face, but some people were turned off by a beard because the beard looked dirty. I wonder if it was like a bird nest or like. Yeah, they took a picture with like some cake in it.
Amy Brown
The longer beards, I see that happening, but if it's a beard that is well kept and shorter, there's no way you can.
Bobby Bones
There is a way.
Amy Brown
That's dirty.
Bobby Bones
There is a way.
Amy Brown
No, there's not a way.
Bobby Bones
Scrubby Steve's got a beard. You think about shaving it or.
Eddie
No, I'm kind of over it. I've had it for about seven years now and even my kids have said, dad, can we cut that off you? But I'm worried about if I have a double chin underneath that. I haven't seen my face in a really long time, so I'm kind of nervous.
Bobby Bones
Well, the weird thing for you too is you grew the big beard because you're bald on your head. Like, you had to prove to people that you could still grow hair from the neck up.
Lunchbox
Totally.
Eddie
Yeah. I look like an alien if I don't have a beard. I just look weird and off.
Amy Brown
His is the link, though. That could look dirty, though.
Lunchbox
Mine.
Eddie
Came like two days ago. Mine's like all kept and looks good.
Bobby Bones
That's Amy saying that.
Amy Brown
That's not me. I'm not.
Bobby Bones
That wasn't you that you think we AI'd your voice in there. You're Just afraid to say you're attracted.
Eddie
To me, and that's okay.
Amy Brown
I was guessing the people that say it could look dirty, I think they're talking about that.
Eddie
Get out of here.
Bobby Bones
I don't disagree with her, but for her to go, that's for her to act like that's not what she was saying.
Amy Brown
I was speaking for people in the study, because I wasn't in the study. I was just guessing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Scuba's like, half ZZ Top.
Eddie
Yeah, almost there.
Bobby Bones
Not fully ZZ Top, but half ZZ Top. So let's talk about tequila from the research Institute for Addiction. So, tequila. What I have heard. Never had tequila, but what I have heard it from people that drink it. Like, if I drink tequila, I go crazy. Like, something about that alcohol makes you go crazier than other alcohols. And you said, Amy? Possibly.
Amy Brown
Yeah, possibly. I mean, I don't know that I put it in the crazy category, but what I have heard is that that is a liquor that actually will take you up, which most alcohol takes you down. So you may be a little bit more, you know, free and a little crazy, you know, crazier on the tequila and feeling good. So if you. If you want to upper.
Bobby Bones
You do tequila, you know, tequila makes me crazy. It's like poison in my blood.
Amy Brown
What's that problem?
Bobby Bones
One more night could kill me, baby.
Amy Brown
Who are you singing?
Bobby Bones
One is one too many.
Eddie
You don't know anything.
Bobby Bones
One more is never enough. Yeah, you and tequila can each other.
Amy Brown
Oh, yes, yes, yes. I hear it now. Sorry, the tone was a little.
Bobby Bones
I still think the show that I've been thinking about called Bobby does Drugs is hilarious.
Eddie
Oh, dude.
Bobby Bones
We can talk about on the podcast again. But no, they say. No, it doesn't. People just use as an excuse because they get drunk and they're like, tequila made me do it. According to scientists, there's no evidence that tequila affects behavior differently from any other alcoholic beverage. Scientists rate and they Scotch, vodka, tequila, cognac. Cognac from somebody who's never drank. Yes. And straight alcohol. And then they would judge their actions. And there's no. No. Alcohol makes you crazier than another. They can affect you in different ways, but based on your biology. But no one. Alcohol just makes everybody act a certain way.
Amy Brown
Well, why do people say that then? Like, excuse.
Bobby Bones
People say a lot of stuff. If you go outside and your head's wet, you get a cold.
Amy Brown
I've been sometimes opting for tequila because I'm like, I want to get crazy. No, no.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Amy Brown
But, like, I I don't see these clothes.
Bobby Bones
I want them off.
Amy Brown
Give me some tequila, but I don't want a downer upper. And now I feel lied to.
Bobby Bones
But it could affect you in a way. But generally, all people, it doesn't affect the same.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That's basically what the story is. Tequila doesn't generally make everybody crazier. A terrible day at work leads a woman to buy a lottery ticket, and she won big. A lottery player in North Carolina spent five bucks on a Magic Winnings Vegas ticket and hit $780,000. Bad day at work. Let me go get a ticket. Boom. Hit it now. Good day at work or good day, peace out work. One of the two. That's from the Star Telegram. A Florida woman's been charged with selling human bones on Facebook Marketplace.
Amy Brown
Where is she getting the bones?
Bobby Bones
Kimberly Shopper, the owner of Wicked Wonderland in Orange City, was charged with the purchase or sale of human organs and tissue. This is from NBC News. The Investigation began in 2023 after reports of human bones being advertised for sale on the shop's Facebook page. Why are you gonna aberrate? You gotta listen if you're gonna sell human bones. Follow me here. You have to learn how to get on the dark Web, even if you've never been, because that's where you have to sell that stuff.
Eddie
But what is Wicked Wonderland her business?
Bobby Bones
I don't know, but I'd investigate that immediately. I don't even know what it is, but I'm probably gonna go in and see what's up. Shopper and her co owner, Ashley lalasey, claimed the bones were educational models. But police found six human bone fragments listed for sale on the page. The bones were collected as evidence, and a forensic examination was conducted at the University of South Florida, NBC News. Let me say this. What if somebody came to you and said, hey, I have, like, part of the femur of Babe Ruth. Would you like to buy it?
Amy Brown
Okay. Is that. Is it worth. What's that worth?
Bobby Bones
That's Babe Ruth.
Amy Brown
I'd be like, how did you get it?
Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter because, I mean, it's illegal.
Amy Brown
Okay. I mean, I'm not gonna buy it. I'm not interested.
Bobby Bones
I'll probably jump in that one.
Eddie
You would?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Collectible.
Bobby Bones
It's a collectible. Yeah.
Amy Brown
And then what? Like, you have it at your house. You can't talk about it because you have. It's illegal.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I love the dark Web and get in a chat room with other collectors. Two human skull fragments, $90 total. A human clavicle and scapula, $90, a human rib, $35. A human vertebrae, $35, and a partial human skull, $600. That's crazy.
Eddie
That's more affordable than I thought it would be.
Amy Brown
Yeah, but why are people.
Bobby Bones
But wait till the tariffs hit. Can't afford it after the tariffs. They're in trouble. What?
Amy Brown
Amy, why are people buying these?
Bobby Bones
Either weird or for school, but probably weird.
Amy Brown
Yeah, probably.
Bobby Bones
Next up, and I believe this guy, a man in Missouri crashed his truck into one of those come and go gas stations, and then he had an excuse. And most of the time when I hear the excuses, I'm like, yeah, bull crap. But he said his croc got caught in the pedal.
Eddie
Oh, I believe that.
Bobby Bones
Right? Yes.
Eddie
That's so possible.
Lunchbox
I agree.
Bobby Bones
Cops say security footage recorded Dale Hammett, 60, slamming his 2012 Dodge Ram into the convenience store on Thursday evening. He immediately backed up and left the scene. Well, so that's a problem, though. Yeah, you can't do that. Can't do that. The crash results in a few thousand dollars damage. In the aftermath of the crash, he twice returned to the store driving the same truck, and he went and spoke with an employee, but he never claimed to be the driver. He even looked at the security video of the original incident with the worker. When a cop arrived on a scene, he denied being the driver and denied his truck being involved. However, they looked at the video again, they're like, you, You. That's. That's you.
Amy Brown
Well, but now I don't believe him.
Bobby Bones
They questioned him, and he stated he was driving in Crocs and they got caught in the pedal. Even if he lied everywhere else, this is the one time I'm gonna go like, that's probably the truth, because you don't really gain anything by that. And I could see Crocs causing a wreck or two.
Amy Brown
Oh, okay. Well, I just feel like if he lied in the beginning, he's like, oh, okay, now I have the croc idea.
Bobby Bones
But the difference is, the croc idea doesn't get him out of any trouble at all. That eliminates no trouble. Him saying, I didn't do it eliminates all trouble if he gets away with it. Him saying he did it in Crocs eliminates nothing. It's just him going, all right, you got me these stupid Crocs. Because I imagine one of the holes got caught on the corner. Next thing you know, boom.
Amy Brown
Yeah, okay.
Bobby Bones
You still feel like you're not. You're a non believer.
Amy Brown
No, I don't believe him at all.
Bobby Bones
All Right. That's the news. Those were Bobby's big stories on the show. We kept track of lunch, trying to get a job as the hype guy for the soccer team here in town. He thought he was going to get it. He sent in his resume. He didn't get it. All that happened. We opened his letter of, I'm sorry, we have to pick someone else. By the way, did they ever reach out after the bit?
Lunchbox
No, I didn't hear anything.
Bobby Bones
And it was the first time you had made a resume in how long?
Lunchbox
I never made one, so.
Amy Brown
Ever?
Lunchbox
Ever.
Amy Brown
Yeah, but like, in college, you ever had to practice making one?
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, you had to, like, make one in class, but it was like a. Like a template. And they just put, you know, I was working at Sam's Club at that time.
Bobby Bones
Clippy would help you.
Lunchbox
Yeah, or you go to the.
Bobby Bones
Hi, everybody.

You go to Career Services that. They kept saying, when you're applying for a job, go to Career Services. They'll help you with your resume. Why never apply for jobs?
Bobby Bones
So I have things you should not put on your resume in 2025. And I'm not sure if you put these on yours. Okay, but number one, your salary or salary requirements. Did you put that?
Lunchbox
No, I didn't.
Bobby Bones
They say, worry about that once you get in the interview. Number two, the line, references available upon request.
Lunchbox
I didn't do that. I mean, my work speaks for itself. I said.
Bobby Bones
That's what you said?
Lunchbox
I think so.
Eddie
Oh, you didn't have references.
Amy Brown
You said, my work speaks for itself.
Lunchbox
I think that's basically implied when I don't put references. I didn't know you were supposed to put references. Who knew?
Bobby Bones
You're not.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
If they want references, they usually ask you, hey, can I get some references?
Eddie
Oh, you don't put that at the very bottom.
Bobby Bones
Used to, back in the day when Clippy would help you.
Eddie
That's what I remember.
Bobby Bones
Bright colors or graphics?
Lunchbox
No, it was just black and white.
Bobby Bones
The full URL for your LinkedIn page. But you don't have.
Lunchbox
I don't have that.
Bobby Bones
Your full home address.
Lunchbox
Nope.
Bobby Bones
The same word over and over. Like the word managed or budgets.
Lunchbox
I don't know. My wife did. I just. I'm disappointed in her.
Bobby Bones
How many pages?
Lunchbox
One page. That's why prom king could not fit on there because it would have made it two pages.
Bobby Bones
Well, this says no resume should be more than two pages. So you did everything right and you still didn't get the job.
Lunchbox
Didn't get the job. I mean, wrote a Cover letter. I mean, cover letter was superb. Superb.
Bobby Bones
If they came and offered it to you today after they've already turned you down, would you take it?
Lunchbox
No, I'm not. Sloppy seconds.
Bobby Bones
Do you know how many times I've been sloppy seconds and taken the job? And it's been awesome.
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I mean, many. Oh, many, many TV shows. This job even, that's like.
Lunchbox
That's like you're at a bar, right, and you see a chick making out with this dude, and then she walks up to you and she goes, I'm ready to make out with you now.
Bobby Bones
That's true.
Eddie
You wouldn't make out with her?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
You never made out with someone after they made out with some other dude?
Lunchbox
Oh, probably.
Eddie
Well, then.
Amy Brown
Okay, well, I'm saying he didn't know about it.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like, I mean, I remember one time in high school at this party, made out this chick, and then the party mood locations, and I saw her making out with another. Another dude. And then later that night, we went to the Murkison Hill and made out on the Murkison Hill. And I was like, ah, you know, whatever.
Bobby Bones
So you were the bread?
Lunchbox
I was the bread. Oh, here's the meat. Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
You're fronting.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I got it first. I got it last.
Amy Brown
Okay. I don't know how I feel about this.
Bobby Bones
So if they emailed you today, because I do have a little something I need to share with you. Oh, so if they emailed you today, you. You just said you wouldn't take the job?
Lunchbox
I wouldn't take it, man.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
I'm not a sloppy second, then we're all good.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Eddie
Oh, no, no. You don't want to hear what he has to say.
Lunchbox
No, I didn't say I didn't want to hear it. I said I don't want the job now.
Bobby Bones
But why would I share something if I. If I know what the answer is?
Lunchbox
That's a good point. I'll take the job, man.
Bobby Bones
No, that's okay.
Amy Brown
Yeah, what is it?
Lunchbox
I wouldn't take it. Amy, you wouldn't take it either. Like, they sent you an email, said, hey, man, you're not good enough, blah, blah. And then here we are, a couple games into the season, they realize we made a big mistake.
Eddie
What if you got fired from this job and then they asked you and.
Bobby Bones
Maybe that's what I was about to tell you.
Amy Brown
No.
Lunchbox
Oh, I didn't think about that.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you're good, though?
Lunchbox
I'm good. I'm passing. My life has moved on that ship has sailed. I'm out in the ocean.
Bobby Bones
What about next year?
Lunchbox
Maybe we may, you know, circle back.
Bobby Bones
You could reevaluate.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we could, you know, talk, see if they are ready to apologize.
Amy Brown
Apologize? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Nothing. Nobody did anything wrong. They picked somebody that was already internal. Right.
Lunchbox
But they could apologize, like, ah, we made a mistake and we should have gone with you from the jump.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
All right.
Bobby Bones
Well, appreciate that. What do we learn here?
Lunchbox
That I did a good job on my resume and they missed out on a superstar.
Bobby Bones
I think we learned. You didn't even do your resume.
Lunchbox
You're right. My wife did.
Bobby Bones
Okay, there you go. Bobby Bone show Bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Florida. A man and a woman were in a backyard breaking into a shed. When the homeowner said, I'm going to call the police. They're like, is he really. They're not going to really call the police. So they just hid up in a tree. Well, police showed up. The K9 starts barking up the tree.
Bobby Bones
They hid in a tree.
Lunchbox
They climbed up the tree.
Eddie
There's acorns falling down.
Bobby Bones
When I watch. Yeah, basically when I watch these shows and people are running from the cops and they put themselves. They walk, they go through a door to get in a room to hide. That makes me feel a bit claustrophobic. Not even because the walls are closing in, but because there's nowhere to go for them. Because the last thing you want to do when running or hiding is put yourself in a very limited space to get out. Like a tree, like climbing a tree. There's nowhere to go except higher in the tree. Then eventually you can't go any higher. So I always have little like. Like, it makes me uncomfortable when they do that, even bad guys.
Lunchbox
All right, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
So there are these honey packets, and what they're doing is they're putting erectile dysfunction meds, basically Viagra, in these honey packets.
Amy Brown
But, like, on purpose?
Eddie
On purpose?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like tricking people?
Bobby Bones
Well, no, not even tricking people. I mean, I guess you could trick somebody, but.
Amy Brown
But it's a way to take it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, yeah. And so they're even packaging these up in some sort of gas station. You know, the gas stations are making them, too.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Oh, are you supposed to have a prescription for that?
Bobby Bones
But I wonder how for real, these. These pills are, though, at the gas station that aren't those in our packages that are like hot rod 5000 and they hang up beside. Because I've talked about before how they'll make from the same exact machines, really expensive Nikes. But they do it after hours. Like people will come in and like the manager of the warehouse will be like, yeah, pay me extra. You can make shoes. And those are the knockoff shoes. But they're the. They're made exactly the same way. Everything's exactly the same. Except they're not made during hours and Nike doesn't officially put their stamp on it. So I wonder if some of those like hot rod pills are that just that.
Amy Brown
So they're made in the lab, but.
Bobby Bones
After hours or at a time. It's the same stuff, but they can't sell it as real. So they sell it. I don't know. But the honey packet thing would be. Be tough if you didn't know.
Eddie
Especially if like you get a biscuit. Right, right. You don't mean it.
Amy Brown
There's only one way to find out, guys.
Bobby Bones
No, there's not many.
Lunchbox
You want honey on your toast or what?
Amy Brown
Well, it's not gonna do anything for me. I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
Here's the thing. Some gas stations are making them themselves. It looks like.
Amy Brown
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Bobby Bones
Oh man.
Eddie
And I feel like honey. You can accidentally get honey when you don't want that. Like a kid could get honey.
Bobby Bones
I'm thinking the packages, it's probably a little different.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Surely you have to be of a certain age to buy honey.
Bobby Bones
Honey. Oh, right, right. You know what I mean?
Lunchbox
That makes more sense.
Bobby Bones
What a way to get it. That is from the Daily Mail. That's it. Bye everybody.
