I'm Jake Hofer and this is back 40, a limited series show on Wire to Hunt, part of Meat Eaters Podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access? Should you?
Bobby Bones
That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

Caller/Guest
What is not normal is is to.
Lunchbox
Allow it to prevent you from doing.
Caller/Guest
The things that you want to do.
Lunchbox
The things that you were meant to do.

Lunchbox
Yeah, let's do a few voicemails here. Give me number two.
Caller/Guest
We are 50 days away from the wedding and we just found out my entire fiance's half side of the family is not coming due to religious reasons because he was married prior. Do I invite people I haven't talked to in years from high school to try know, get the people there to at least eat the food? My dad's losing money because of it and it's just a whole mess. I feel horrible. And anyway, hope you all have a great day, though. Thank you. Bye.
Lunchbox
Dang all, that sucks. But I hope you all have a great day, though. It kind of funny because she said in the tone that was kind of funny. Okay, here's the answer. First of all, I'm sorry that happened that they're all canceling because he was already married once. Listen, they have the right to their religious belief. I don't have that same religious belief. I hope your wedding and I hope your marriage is awesome and, and you deserve to be happy. So let's move off that number two, I'm going to give you gambler's mentality here. You're already paying for it. So your dad's not losing money. He's losing the same amount of money than he would have lost if everybody came to the wedding. So he's not losing more money because they're not coming. He's paying the same amount of money regardless of who comes.
Co-host/Guest
It just feels like a loss because no one who he thought was going to eat that food is not coming.
Lunchbox
But I'm going to give it to you better now. You're going to have a bunch of leftover food instead of having people eat 2 and 3. Take it and donate it. Like, find a place ahead of time because you don't want to have all this food at the end of the night and be like, let's just go find somewhere at 11pm or 9am the next day after the wedding to donate. Call ahead, find like a food bank, find a homeless shelter where they can take that food, they're prepared for that food, and they can tell you how to have the food saved that night. So it's easy to go from point A to point B. Then you can donate that food because again, you don't want food to go to waste. And your dad is not losing any more money than he was going to lose already. And you know what? Screw those people that don't want to come. So you're not in a worse place. Except it's kind of annoying for your fiance that his people won't come. But you're not losing more money.
Co-host/Guest
No, I guess you're not.
Lunchbox
No, you're not.
Co-host/Guest
I mean, you're really not.
Lunchbox
If he was going to pay $5 overall for all the fish, he's still paying $5 for all the fish. But now there can be people that weren't expecting it that can actually be fed now that deserve a good meal.
Co-host/Guest
Do you not like the idea of her just finding last minute guests?
Lunchbox
I don't. Because one not special. Those aren't special. People that need to be there. Keep the wedding with special people that need to be there. First and second round draft picks and then give the money to the food to someplace that could really use it. So that would be my advice there. Again, I'm sorry that's happening to you. All right, give me the next one.
Caller/Guest
I was going to say thank you.
Guest
So much for the announcement you did.
Caller/Guest
About Skechers and the air Tech shoes. I had no idea that this was a thing when I heard it, I literally pulled over stops and ordered. I just want to say thank you. This is a game changer. It has made my entire day. I guarantee this ends up saving some kids life someday. So yay for sketchers and yay for you all through saving lives.
Lunchbox
I was watching the clip on TikTok last night.
Co-host/Guest
It's pretty cool.
Lunchbox
And I say I'm watching it like I didn't live it while we're talking about it.
Co-host/Guest
Right. But actually seeing the shoe made a difference.
Lunchbox
So you can follow our show TikTok Bobby Bones show. But there is a shoe and in the heel, so you like lift up the sole. You could put an air tag in the heel. And we were talking about how some parents are upset and it's tracking culture. And then we were talking about worst case scenario, mid case scenario, which I thought I was like, yeah, but what if you just lose your shoes? Like, it's good to be able to find your shoes. But yeah, you can watch a lot of the clips. But I like them. I like that Skechers has those for kids. I think where it gets weird is if you have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband, and you buy them some new shoes and you don't tell them there's an apple airtag in it. You're tracking them and you're tracking them. But these Skechers are mostly smaller sizes, but other than that, you're all good. All right, hit the next one.
Caller/Guest
I was the youngest of five kids and all five of us played hockey, and my parents never had us skip practice, let alone games. A lot of times we would go with other families.
Lunchbox
So I think Eddie should try that.
Caller/Guest
It's okay to go with other teammates. Thanks.
Co-host/Guest
I understand, like, I get it. I understand the importance of not missing practices, not missing games. Let your teammates down, you're teaching them a wrong lesson. I get it. But sometimes with three kids that are in sports fully, and they're all have. They all have different little events at the same time, I got to draw the line at some point. Like when I had to pick my wife up at the airport and the kids up and drop one off and Uber to the next game. No, I mean, at that point, I'm like, we got to draw the line somewhere.
Lunchbox
I'd like to say this. When your kids commit to a sport, do you let them quit?
Co-host/Guest
No, not. Not in that season. Great.
Lunchbox
Keep walking with me. So you say to them, you're going to walk me. I'm just saying that you say, you say to those kids, you are committing to this sport. You must commit to this sport.
Co-host/Guest
Correct.
Lunchbox
Okay. Now, when your kids sign up for a sport, do they just do it off willy nilly where you don't know about it? No. Okay. So you are with them and you have the understanding of they're committing to playing and you're committing to making sure they can play.
Co-host/Guest
Absolutely.
Lunchbox
Okay. But by you going, we're not going to go to the games because your schedule's too busy, you're quitting your commitment of making sure they can get to the games that you made with them. And that doesn't set the example of, we do what we say we're going to do.
Co-host/Guest
See, but it was just that day. It was that day where I had.
Lunchbox
To go same, what if it's their day and they're like, I want to play baseball, and then a week later they're like, this sucks. I wish I wouldn't have said that that day.
Co-host/Guest
Can't quit.
Lunchbox
Okay, same with you. Can't quit getting them games because you made the commitment to them that if they played and they committed, you would commit to making sure they could get to practices and games.
Co-host/Guest
So what about. I had one, one time, one of my boys didn't do their homework, right? So the teacher was like, he didn't turn his homework two days in a row. I said, all right, that's it. You're not playing on Wednesday. I told the coach, he's not going to be able to show up.
Lunchbox
That's Different.
Co-host/Guest
Is it?
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's different. Because there was an action by your son that you felt was less than satisfactory and therefore his punishment is going to be something he feels is less than satisfactory. Missing a practice or a. And as long as that's communicated ahead of time, it doesn't have to be kids. This could be anywhere in life. Professional, personal. Like you have your expectations and if they're not met, they should have an expectation of what's gonna happen to them. You gave them that. I'm assuming, like if you don't do your homework, you don't get to play for sure. That's completely different than you just being like, we're too busy, it's just too much.
Co-host/Guest
At that time it was too much.
Lunchbox
But again. So you lied, you blamed it on the homework.
Co-host/Guest
No, no, no, not the time where I was really. I just. We just didn't show up and the coach didn't ask or anything. I think the coaches.
Lunchbox
I know, but you're giving me two stories here.
Co-host/Guest
The other story I'm talking about was like another reason. I think I've only, I've really only missed two games.
Lunchbox
I have no problem with that.
Co-host/Guest
Those two times.
Lunchbox
If they don't do their homework, then they don't get to do the fun stuff, regardless of what that is.
Co-host/Guest
Yes. And the coach liked that idea.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because they didn't live up to their responsibility.
Lunchbox
If they're associated with you, tell them that ahead of time. But they're just not doing it because you're busy. Like the caller said, you can find teammates to take them, make sure they can get there. But you have committed to them to make sure they get to practice in games. Maybe you haven't committed to being to every single practice the whole time, but they need to get there because they also they're relied upon by their teammates.
Co-host/Guest
Just think like they're 10 years old.
Lunchbox
I know, I'm not disagreeing. That it's annoying. Not. There's no disagreement from me. That it's annoying.
Co-host/Guest
When you look at it and you got 9 year olds and 10 year olds like which we're speeding through town trying to get to the game, like, this is too much.
Lunchbox
I hear you. Every parts of me hears you. But all I'm doing is using your logic. And when you're going, I say as a dad, if you're committing, you have to do it. Then I say is forest from the trees. If you're committed to making sure they can get there, I gotta get them. You can't die on that. On that.
Co-host/Guest
All right. It's a tough pill to swallow.
Lunchbox
There you go. A British woman was on vacation and she unexpectedly gave birth in a hotel bathroom. She thought she was having a stomach issue, except it was a labor pain. She didn't know she was pregnant.
Co-host/Guest
She said, how does that happen?
Lunchbox
I know.
Co-host/Guest
I don't get it.
Lunchbox
We've talked about these before. Amy's not here today. You probably heard the show earlier, but she has a friend this happened to. Yeah, I know. We all did the same thing.
Co-host/Guest
Like, don't believe it.
Lunchbox
Helengreen, 45, had no idea she was pregnant due to a cryptic pregnancy. Would you mind searching what a cryptic pregnancy is? Having experienced regular periods and no symptoms. So she kept having a period. That's the first thing that would make me think. Surely not pregnant.
Co-host/Guest
Yep.
Lunchbox
After two pushes, she delivered a baby girl into the toilet. A cryptic pregnancy, also known as pregnancy denial or stealth pregnancy, is when a woman is pregnant but doesn't realize it until later in the pregnancy, sometimes even until labor begins. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including minimal or unusual symptoms. Denial. Or factors like irregular periods or birth control use. The fact that she had every period. No chance I would think I was pregnant.
Co-host/Guest
No, I agree. That's the first indication.
Lunchbox
Although if I had one period, I'd be weirded out.
Co-host/Guest
Because you're a dude.
Lunchbox
Yes. Yes. Also, I bet there are a lot of jealous women out there that hear after two pushes.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah.
Lunchbox
She delivered the baby girl into the toilet, shocking her husband Michael, who was awake. He thought she was just dropping a deuce.
Co-host/Guest
Well, that's crazy.
Lunchbox
She goes in to drop a deuce and comes out with a baby.
Co-host/Guest
His life is changing.
Lunchbox
A splash a little bigger than normal. What was that? I told you we shouldn't have gone on the border.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, man.
Lunchbox
First responders rushed to the hospital. Doctors confirmed the surprise arrival. Do you guys ever go to on the border? Going up? Yeah, the restaurant, Tex Mex.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, yeah, they still make chips.
Lunchbox
What do you mean?
Co-host/Guest
Like you can get at the grocery store on the border Chips.
Lunchbox
The couple already parents to an 18 year old son.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Lunchbox
And a six year old daughter. Named the baby Olivia after a nurse. Yeah, you don't have any names in the old holster.
Co-host/Guest
You don't have any of them.
Lunchbox
You just look around and go, what's your name? Good, that works. Olivia it is. Though stunned, the family described the experience as, quote, a lovely surprise and say Olivia has brought them joy and a sense of completeness.
Co-host/Guest
Lovely surprise. Like I think it takes you about a week to, like, really understand what's happening to you.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I think this shakes you, but the fact they had two kids already, that helps. I'm sure it's not a world shifter because they've done it a couple of times and they know what it takes.
Co-host/Guest
Okay, but then if you've had two kids already, you probably know what it's like to be pregnant.
Lunchbox
She never missed a period, though, and I haven't seen her body. I would assume if you're bigger, it's easier to not know if you're pregnant.
Co-host/Guest
Didn't think about that.
Lunchbox
I don't know what she looks like, but I would assume the bigger you are. And if it is abnormal in many ways, you probably just think you're eating a little. Just a little more.
Bobby Bones
She said she was going to the gym four times a week still and not losing weight. Right. And usually she had a big bump. With her other two pregnancies, she didn't notice a big bump. And they were in, I believe, Toronto, so they had to stay extra time, and it ended up costing them $12,000 for their vacation because they had to wait and get a birth certificate and extended hotel stay and all that.
Lunchbox
I'm looking at her. That's crazy. I think she is big enough to be pregnant, but not big enough to think for sure she's pregnant. It's like that middle.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, I can see that now.
Lunchbox
I don't even know what a pregnant person looks like at six months.
Bobby Bones
You can tell.
Co-host/Guest
You start seeing a bump.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you see a bump.
Lunchbox
But I'm saying I think she has a bump anyway. Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
Regardless. But she goes to the gym four times a week.
Lunchbox
I don't know what she does at the gym. Do I know if she just curls?
Co-host/Guest
Maybe she just hangs out.
Lunchbox
Maybe just.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but they still went to three Blue Jays games.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, that's cool.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they have the baby at the Blue Jays game.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, that's crazy.
Lunchbox
Yeah, so I set that up. We talked about in the first podcast, too, the Robots that Give Birth. It sounds way more sciencey and world ending than I think it really is. But then I want to take this call, which you're going to hear, which she talks about her stomach being paralyzed. Here you go. I want to go over to April in Virginia. April, you're on the show.
Caller/Guest
Hey, Bobby and team. How are you guys this morning?
Lunchbox
Pretty good. What's going on?
Caller/Guest
Excellent. So I just want to try to raise awareness for gastroparesis. It's an uncurable disease, and what it Is. It's the parallel paralysis of your stomach muscles. I have basically what a pacemaker does for your heart. I have implanted in my stomach. So when I eat, there's neurotransmitters that talk to my brain that tell my battery to start working to make my food and my stomach muscles work.
Lunchbox
That's crazy. Wow.
Caller/Guest
Yes. I was diagnosed with this six years ago, and I just had the battery implanted in December.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think I may have that, too. Sometimes the battery go to the bathroom. Can I borrow.
Caller/Guest
Yeah. Crazy, the technology they have. But it's been. It's been a really big struggle. And if I can raise any. Any awareness for this disease, it is. It's incurable. So. And people are. It's. It's. It's devastating.
Lunchbox
Well, I would think, too, that a lot of people don't know about that. And. And why I think she was triggered to call in a good way is we were talking about these robots that will be a womb and have a baby. And so. And then I got into the whole. Yeah, I'm sure people thought it was weird when IVF was first. You know, when it was test tube, baby, all these things and how science can help people who medically can't do it. And so can you have a baby, April?
Caller/Guest
I've had. I've had two children. Mine are 19 and 25. With both of them, I had very rough pregnancies. And that's really when my gastro stuff started happening.
Lunchbox
That's crazy. Like, how would a doctor really, really ill. Like, I'm sorry, how did a doctor even know? How would they even know that's what it is? Because I'm sure if you go to, like, your everyday doctor and you show up and you're in the waiting room, and it's like, hey, we'll see you. And you wait 47 minutes just to get the nurse to come in, and you're like, hey, I don't feel good. And I got on WebMD and I might have cat scratch fever. And they're. I mean, how long does it take until they go. Your stomach is paralyzed.
Caller/Guest
So within year three, like, so I'm going on. I'm on year six. On year three, they did a study called a gastric ambient study where I ate a radioactive one scrambled egg.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
And every hour, they would bring me back down and they would keep watching it. Well, that one scrambled egg took eight hours to process. Without the battery, the food just spoils in my stomach and makes me extremely ill. Wow.
Lunchbox
Whoa. That's Crazy. And thank God for technology, because I think if you told a guy working mad men, 1950s, you're like, we're going to put a battery in a belly, and it's going to make sure people can eat. They'd be like, oh, that's. The world's going to hell in a handbasket. You know, the same way that people do with technology. Okay, so I'd like to say a couple things. One, that sucks. I'm sorry that happened to you. You don't deserve to have that happen to you. Nobody does. Second of all, if this would have happened to you 25 years ago, I don't think you would have been able to have what's happened to you now with the effects of technology and modern medicine. Don't you agree?
Caller/Guest
I agree. This actually has been around for 10 years. There's a bunch of groups on Facebook. When some of them have had them for 10 years, they last generally 10 years, then you get them replaced. But it took me, you know, six years fighting my insurance company in and out of the hospital. We were talking about, like, with. I have great insurance. You're talking about $60,000 in hospital bills of. Out of pocket. Just meeting my. Out of pockets and in. Finally, they agreed to put the stimulator in my belly. And that was in December 3rd of 2024. So. And it's still kind of acting like, you know, it's a foreign object in my body. So it's still kind of acting as if that it's. It's kind of attacked my liver, and then it went to my kidneys. A few weeks ago, I was in the hospital because my heart was doing some funny stuff. So I think it's. I think it's starting to work itself out. But sometimes it takes, you know, a year or two for your body to adjust. It's. They. The doctors come in with a wireless handheld device. They place it over your stomach, and it has a voltage from 1 to 10.
Lunchbox
That's crazy.
Caller/Guest
I'm at a 7 right now, so I can go in and they can adjust it wirelessly to whatever number I might need.
Co-host/Guest
Do you have to charge it? April, like, how does that.
Bobby Bones
Good point.
Lunchbox
She's gonna plug in her butt.
Co-host/Guest
How do you charge the battery?
Lunchbox
You gotta stand by the outlet.
Caller/Guest
No plugin. No plugins.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, it's just. It's usually good for 10 years and then you have to get it replaced. But it just. It's got neurotransmitters. They talk to you. Everybody has two vagus nerves in Their bodies that run through every major organ. The neurotransmitters talk to your vagus nerve, which talks to your brain, and so on and so on.
Lunchbox
That's crazy. I keep thinking, too, of get in my belly just because she keeps saying the word belly from Austin Powers. Get in my belly. Wow. I'm blown away. April, thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate that. Holy cow.
Caller/Guest
I appreciate the call. Thank you. Bobby, what's it called every morning?
Lunchbox
Thank you. What's it called again?
Caller/Guest
Gastroparesis.
Lunchbox
Thank you. I don't know that I don't have a little. Little tinge of that.
Co-host/Guest
You're going to ask your doctor.
Lunchbox
And I can understand an insurance not wanting to pay for it because. Yeah, it's not common. Sounds like something somebody made up and then gets on the bonehead story of the day so they can get paid out by insurance or something. That's a crazy story. You have anybody you follow on TikTok that you kind of root for that?
Co-host/Guest
I root for?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. I mean, yeah, There's a guy in South Texas named Arnie Tex, and he's a cooking dude. And like, I want him to be super, super famous. And he's kind of famous.
Lunchbox
What's the name again?
Co-host/Guest
Arnie Tex. And he's from the Valley, dude, from where I'm from. And he's doing it and, like, I could see the progression of how good he's doing because of, like, his set gets better and better, the lighting gets better, and I root for the dude.
Lunchbox
That's funny. You have one of those, too. Because I root for this guy. I've never met him. His name's Brian Andrews. He's an artist here in Nashville. He came on my for your page, and he has this song called Blue. And he was teasing. It was coming out forever, and then it just wouldn't come out. And it wouldn't come out. And finally it came out again. I never met him. I'm rooting for him big time. He's got like 2 million followers now.
Co-host/Guest
Well, that's cool.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So his name's Brian Andrews. So what happened to Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
Co-host/Guest
There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy.
Lunchbox
Drove a car into a pond and.
Guest
Left a woman behind to drown.
Lunchbox
There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's teddy Escapes Blonde Drowns.
Bobby Bones
And in a strange way, Right.
Lunchbox
That sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future Ted's political hopes Will Ted become President? Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic.
Co-host/Guest
Death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Guest
And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.
Lunchbox
The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs.
Co-host/Guest
Violence, you name it.
Lunchbox
So is there a curse?
Co-host/Guest
Every week we go behind the headlines.

I'm Dr. Joy Hardin Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afia and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health and the ways we heal.
Guest
Because I think hair is a complex language system, right?
Lunchbox
In terms of it can tell how.
Guest
Old you are, your marital status, where.
Lunchbox
You'Re from, your spiritual beliefs.
Guest
But I think with social media there's.
Ebony
Like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right?
Guest
That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel. It's how our hair is styled.
Ebony
We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us.

Lunchbox
Come on. All right, let's do Tuesday reviews day again. Amy's not here. She's sick. We're gonna get her on the show tomorrow. She will not be in tomorrow because she's sick. She's sick sick. So hopefully we'll call her tomorrow. That being said, I've been super curious about that movie Weapons. I know nothing about it. I don't like scary movies, but I say that, but I kind of like some movies if it scares me the right way. I don't know what Weapons is about, but everybody's talking about it on social media. Mike, do you watched it?
Mike
Yeah. It's about all these kids that go missing at 2:17 in the morning. And this town's trying to figure out why.
Lunchbox
If that were a Netflix series, I would watch it.
Co-host/Guest
That's good.
Mike
They were all in the same classroom and they're like, why do these kids go missing?
Lunchbox
Hmm. I don't know what you can and can't say about the movie. Anything else you can say.
Mike
That's the whole premise. That's all I'll say.
Lunchbox
How long is it?
Mike
About under two hours so far we're talking.
Co-host/Guest
Can you say what the weapons are for? Like, why is it called weapons?
Mike
No, can't say.
Lunchbox
Oh, okay. All right. Did you like it? I loved it. Oh, man.
Mike
Almost the perfect movie for me.
Co-host/Guest
Wow.
Lunchbox
What makes the perfect movie?
Mike
I don't think a perfect movie exists for me right now. I think that comes with time. Like you have to be able to rewatch it a bunch and later it could be a perfect movie. But I think 4.5 out of 5 is like my max that I can go see a movie in theaters. And that's what weapons is.
Lunchbox
Is that because you're weird, though?
Mike
Yes, definitely.
Co-host/Guest
What does that mean?
Lunchbox
He likes weird stuff.
Co-host/Guest
Okay. I mean, he is kind of weird.
Lunchbox
But yeah, he's creative. Creative people are all weird and weird in different ways. Hmm. I have a lot of questions, but I don't even wanna ask them.
Mike
Would I like has some horror elements that I think would freak you out.
Lunchbox
I don't mind the. Like, I watched the Jordan Peele movies.
Mike
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Or some of them. I really liked the one with the scissors.
Mike
Us.
Lunchbox
Okay. But you know what I like more than that was one before that. Get out, get out, get out. That was awesome.
Mike
It's a step above that. Cause there are some jump scares.
Lunchbox
I don't like jump scares.
Mike
There are some imagery that I feel like for you, who is prone to nightmares might freak you out a little bit. But I think overall the story is really good because it's. To me, it's more of a thriller than just a straight up horror movie. You're trying to figure out what is happening. And it's a movie that I believe is pretty unpredictable. Like, I can usually figure out movies. That's what I like to do. I like to go watch a movie like, I know what's gonna happen. This one I was like, I don't know what's gonna happen.
Lunchbox
Should I go watch it? Should I wait till it comes home?
Mike
You could probably wait till it comes Home.
Lunchbox
That way I can pause it if I get scared.
Co-host/Guest
Take a break.
Lunchbox
Yes. Okay. But you really liked it.
Mike
I really liked it.
Lunchbox
All right.
Co-host/Guest
What's Mike's record on would I like it?
Lunchbox
He's like 97%. I can only think of one time he missed. Yeah, honey, boy, is that Shia LaBeouf one? Mike Never. I thought you would like it. No, that's the only one that ever. I'm like, mike, would I like it? Because he knows that one. I just was like, what the crap is this? Other than that, you know, 100 movies. He's pretty much nailed them all pretty good. Okay, so you get four and a half out of five.
Mike
Four and a half out of five.
Lunchbox
Anybody watch the Amy Bradley's missing?
Co-host/Guest
No.
Bobby Bones
What is that?
Co-host/Guest
No, it was on a boat or something.
Lunchbox
Yeah, Amy talked about it here on the show.
Bobby Bones
That's right.
Lunchbox
And so.
Co-host/Guest
Did you watch it?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, I feel like you didn't like it.
Lunchbox
It's crazy. I liked it.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, you like?
Lunchbox
Yeah. And you know, on the Bobby cast today, I do just a full review of, like, a bunch of stuff I've watched all year. I talked to Lani for, like, half an hour, 40 minutes. And then I do a few things on the Bobbycast where I talk about these mysteries. And I think maybe that's why I was going through some notes and I watched the Amy Bradley's missing. I give it four out of five cruise ships, and I just don't want to say much more. What do you know about it? By not watching it? Because I don't want to spoil anything, and I won't, because I know what I knew before I watched it. But what do you know before you watch it? About it?
Co-host/Guest
I know nothing, but other than Amy is on a boat and she went missing.
Lunchbox
Okay, that's it.
Co-host/Guest
She go overboard? Maybe.
Lunchbox
Do you know how it ends?
Co-host/Guest
No. No. Do you?
Mike
No.
Lunchbox
Okay. I knew how it ends before I watched it because I remember the news. I remember Chandra Levy. Like, all these missing people. She was like one of them back in the day on the COVID of People, but I'll say no more.
Co-host/Guest
Okay.
Lunchbox
It's one of those things, too. I wish somebody watches so I could talk about it. I wish Amy wasn't sick because it's only three episodes and the episode is like 40 minutes, so you get through it pretty quick. It's kind of effed up, and that's all I will say. Dang. I wish somebody could talk about it with me.
Co-host/Guest
No, no.
Lunchbox
I give it four out of five. Did you watch the any given Saturday SEC show?
Co-host/Guest
I have not watched that. I started watching Hard Knocks, but I haven't watched that.
Lunchbox
It's really good. And I didn't watch it on purpose because I didn't want to have to like teams I don't like.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, yeah, they're all rivals.
Lunchbox
Well, they're not all rivals. We play them all. But you hate them all. But it's really good. It's five episodes, around 45, 50 minutes. And mostly it follows a team during the week of the season last year. So the spoilers you already knew. Well, my father in law and I watched it and I probably wouldn't have watched it had he not been there because we were on vacation and it was like, what do you watch that everybody wants to watch? And there really was nothing everybody wanted to watch. So we made everybody watch what us two wanted to watch. Yeah, boy. Which was that show. And my wife's like, you know, who wins the game? I'm like, yeah, it's not the point of who wins the game. It's kind of. You learn about the coaches and it's good.
Co-host/Guest
That's cool.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I give that a 4 out of 5 pigskins.
Co-host/Guest
Is it clean?
Lunchbox
There's some F words because it's the coaches.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. Yeah.
Lunchbox
But there are some coaches you like a lot more and there are some. You're like, oh, I get why I didn't like them. Like, Brian Kelly from lsu. Didn't much care for him before it started. Still don't care for him.
Co-host/Guest
Okay.
Lunchbox
That's a lot. Not a kind of guy you'd want to be friends with in any way whatsoever. I think he's a good football coach.
Co-host/Guest
But you're like, like, who's the one that changed your mind?
Lunchbox
I was confirmed on a couple. Shane Beamer at South Carolina. Awesome. I love that dude. Anyway, like, we text a little bit, even to the point where like Sam Hunt was in town and he hit me up. He was like, hey, do you know Sam? I was like, yeah. So I got him backstage to meet Sam. So, like, I have a small, small relationship with him and I like him a lot. He comes off awesome on the show. Clark Lee. I would run through a freaking wall for that dude. The head coach at Vanderbilt.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And he's intense.
Co-host/Guest
He's like, f, F, F. Really?
Lunchbox
Dude, he's hardcore.
Co-host/Guest
I didn't expect that.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So you liked Mississippi State coach? A little bit.
Co-host/Guest
Okay.
Lunchbox
His first year. But it's a good show. I don't think you have to like, be hardcore football only to watch it. I may make Amy watch it as a punishment. If she loses something else soon, she's got to do the wrestling thing. I think it'd be something, though, that she would stumble into and then, like. So. Yeah. Who's out there, Ray? Is that Gator? Yeah. Hey, tell Gator I have his ball marker on my car.
Co-host/Guest
Is it, like, important?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I have it. It's with me right now in my car. Gator and I were playing golf and ball marker. He has a funny ball marker, though, and he's. He let me use it, and I couldn't find it anywhere, and it was stuck to my phone. And so when I got in the car, I was like, I got your ball marker.
Co-host/Guest
Oh. Cause it was probably magnet.
Lunchbox
It was one of those that's like. It's doing your hand like this. When you look at it, you punch them. Oh, it's on the ball marker.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, that's funny.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So I have it. It's here. I brought it. I've kept up with it. Yes. All right, cool. Yeah, the SEC shows is good. Four out of five, so I recommend that. Anything, Eddie. Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
I watched a documentary, a documentary called My Mom Jane, and I didn't really know anything about it.
Lunchbox
Jane Mansfield. Her daughter's famous.
Co-host/Guest
Jane Mansfield. Her daughter is Mariska Hadigay.
Lunchbox
She's on one of those shows that's been on a long time as a copy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Co-host/Guest
Okay. So I see the COVID of it on the screen or whatever, and I'm like, oh, I remember Jayne Mansfield. Like, I like those old movies. Let me watch this. And then I find out that her daughter, her famous daughter made it. And it's all about finding out who her mom is, because her mom, Jayne Mansfield, died in the 60s. So she was very young. She was a baby, had no idea, like, about her mom. So she goes and interviews family members, friends of hers, and people just to find out more about Jayne Mansfield and who she was. Dude, it takes you down a road where you're like, okay, this is cool.
Lunchbox
She's getting memory lane for you, though. But why Black and white days. Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
But more of the family story of, like, what was my mom like? She finds out things from people that are like, oh, you didn't know this?
Lunchbox
Oh, really? Oh.
Co-host/Guest
And she's just like, what do you mean? And she starts asking more people, and her mind is blown because what she thought her life was is not what it really is.
Lunchbox
It sounds like you liked it. Dude, I loved it. What's it on?
Co-host/Guest
I believe it's on Max.
Lunchbox
It's tough. Now. Double check. There are so many.
Co-host/Guest
I need to double check, but I think it's on Max. Dude, it's so good.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox, Anything? Oh, what do you rate it, by the way?
Co-host/Guest
Oh, I'm gonna do four. I'm gonna do four pianos.
Lunchbox
Big boobs. Like, big, blonde, voluptuous. I just think of, like, those pinups, right?
Co-host/Guest
She was a sex symbol.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Co-host/Guest
Like Marilyn Monroe.
Lunchbox
Got it. So four out of five boobs, pianos.
Co-host/Guest
No, I'm not going. Boobs.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I watched a movie on the plane called Am I okay? And it was under the comedy section. My wife picked it. You know, you're not sharing, but we were going to watch the same movie because it's on the back of the screen of the chair in front of you. So I was, all right, I'll watch it. I think I laughed maybe three times. Didn't think it was that funny, huh?
Lunchbox
It's Dakota. Fanny. Dakota Johnson.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Not the same person.
Mike
Different person.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Co-host/Guest
Dakota Johnson.
Bobby Bones
Dakota Johnson. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Bobby Bones
At first I thought it was Zooey Deschanel. When I'm watching, I'm like, this girl looks like Zooey Deschanel.
Lunchbox
But it wasn't without glasses.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I was like, interesting. I mean, the movie wasn't bad, but I wouldn't list it as a comedy.
Lunchbox
Mike D. Have you seen it? Yeah.
Mike
I think comedy is a little subjective right now. They consider the bear a comedy.
Lunchbox
The bear is not a comedy.
Mike
But in every award show, it's like, best comedy.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So what'd you give it?
Bobby Bones
I give it three out of five Best Friends.
Lunchbox
Did you like it, Mike?
Mike
Yeah, I kind of like Dakota Johnson. But, yeah, the movie. Overall, I didn't like it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was. Especially when I was expecting to laugh. And then I'm just like, well, when does it get funny?
Co-host/Guest
What's the premise? Can you tell us?
Mike
The character's kind of annoying in it a little bit.
Bobby Bones
Yes. I would agree with that.
Lunchbox
There was a movie that we watched. It was Christmas. It had Pete Encavilia in it, and it was. Which is not Pete Encavilia.
Co-host/Guest
Who's that? Pete and Gaville is Pete and Gavin.
Lunchbox
Al Giamatti. Ahmadi is the school guy.
Mike
The Holdovers.
Lunchbox
That was a comedy. And I was like, that was a good movie, though.
Bobby Bones
That was a good movie.
Lunchbox
It was good, but I was ready to laugh.
Mike
I love that movie. And I hate Paul Giamatti.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I liked. We liked the movie a lot. But that didn't feel like a comedy to me.
Mike
Yeah, it's considered a comedy.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. What do you use to remember his name?
Lunchbox
Pete and Cavillia. Pete and Cavillia played for the Rangers in Oklahoma State baseball.
Co-host/Guest
Why do you hate. Why do you hate him?
Mike
He's one of those actors that. I've never enjoyed his work. I hate him in interviews, but that movie kind of changed my perspective on him.
Lunchbox
Did you not think he was awesome in Black Mirror?
Mike
Yeah, that was after Pulled Over Stu.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. That he was. I never know when an actor's good. I rarely know when an actor's bad. But I. Not someone who judges or can see, like, great acting. Middle, below average. I could probably see terrible. I think that would probably stand, I guess.
Co-host/Guest
I think when you notice the acting, that's when it's terrible.
Lunchbox
Or the other way. Because I noticed how great he was in that Black Mirror episode, and I was like, this guy is a treasure. Have you. Have you seen the Black Mirror episode with no Peter Gabilia? No.
Co-host/Guest
No.
Bobby Bones
I've always seen the ones you told me to watch.
Lunchbox
You should watch it, dude.
Co-host/Guest
Those black mirrors, they stay in my mind.
Lunchbox
They stay in my mind. The show hasn't been on forever. They live in me.
Co-host/Guest
Like, I still think about one that I saw, like, 10 years ago.
Lunchbox
Which one? White Bear. The pig?
Co-host/Guest
No, the one with the lady. The lady tracks her daughter and everything she does. That one's great, dude, I can't. I think about that at least, like, five times.
Mike
Archangel.
Lunchbox
That was a good one. So weird. That's the greatest. That's the best show of my lifetime. That's the. That I say the show that makes me think and feel the most. That's the show. It's not the show. I recommend everybody. I don't think it's for everybody. I don't think it's the best show for everybody. I think, to me, it's the best show of my lifetime. I don't think it's my favorite show. It's close. I think the Office is my favorite because I've spent a lot of time with it. I've watched them all over and over again. I'm all invested in the Office because of that. I think Black Mirror is the best show of my lifetime. I don't even know that I've seen all the episodes twice or many of them twice. I don't have to. They live in me.
Co-host/Guest
You don't forget it.
Lunchbox
They live in me.
Bobby Bones
Is that an American? I don't even know where it's At.
Lunchbox
It's not.
Co-host/Guest
Not American, because I've.
Bobby Bones
I've watched it, but I'm just like. I don't know.
Lunchbox
They're American actors at times, but for the most part, the British actors.
Mike
Yeah. The later season, once I got more popular, they did more with American actors. And I feel like it kind of lost its. Its quality. But this past season was really good.
Lunchbox
Not homework in any way, but if you guys really wanted to watch something to talk about it. That Paul Giamatti episode. And it's not.
Bobby Bones
What's it called, Mike?
Mike
Eulogy.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It's not horror.
Mike
That one isn't.
Lunchbox
No.
Mike
This one's like sci fi.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It's. You don't even know that it is real. I mean, you can't just. You should watch it. You won't feel. You won't feel gross about yourself at the end of this one.
Co-host/Guest
I didn't feel gross about myself on the other one. I just think about it all the time.
Bobby Bones
Well, the big ones, you feel gross about that one.
Lunchbox
I don't remember the big one, man. That show makes me feel gross though, sometimes, dude.
Co-host/Guest
It's crazy. Like, who thinks of those things?
Bobby Bones
That's what I want to know when I watch it. I'm like, whoever the writers are, they are.
Lunchbox
It's one guy. I mean, the one guy.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, he writes all of them.
Lunchbox
He's a right. Yeah.
Mike
I mean, some of it is based on, like, some news stories. So it's not all just like, Let me think of what sick, twisted thing I can do.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Does he do a lot of drugs?
Co-host/Guest
Gotta do drugs.
Lunchbox
What's his name? Charlie.
Mike
Let me see.
Bobby Bones
Got to, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
Like, you have to even.
Bobby Bones
To even go to work with Charlie.
Mike
Charlie Brooker.
Lunchbox
Brooker. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's the greatest. To me, it's the greatest show of my lifetime. I saw where Ben Stiller is not gonna direct season three of Severance.
Co-host/Guest
I just found that out.
Lunchbox
He's so attached, like, in the fabric of that show. That feels weird to me.
Mike
Yeah. I don't think it's gonna be the same without him.
Lunchbox
I hope it's different than season two. I thought season two was tremendously slow. And I don't mind slow stuff in shows. Cause I like to be invested. I thought it was tremendously slow. And they were Easter egging us too much. They were Taylor Swift in us too much. They were life of a showgirl in us too much.
Mike
These became so cool that they're like, oh, we gotta step up. How cool this show needs to be.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like, once they were getting the critic awards, they were like, oh, we'll show you. We'll really get critically acclaimed and be way too cool for the room. Yeah.
Mike
Every Emmy.
Lunchbox
I think that season one's one of the best seasons of a show I've ever seen. Season one of Severance. I think season one of Squid Games was a freaking plus. Anybody watch? It's not Squid Game. Did the other one. It's.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, the Alice in Wonderland.
Lunchbox
You've seen that season one?
Mike
Yes, I have.
Lunchbox
Did you watch it recently? A long time ago recently.
Mike
After you started talking about it.
Lunchbox
You like it?
Mike
And I was like, yes. Why have I not watched the show before?
Lunchbox
Awesome, huh? Yeah. You watched season two yet?
Caller/Guest
Not.
Mike
So, no, I haven't started season two.
Lunchbox
All right, so there we go. Everybody get their reviews in? Did you do yours? What'd you have?
Guest
No, I have too. I watched Thunderbolts, which is the latest Marvel movie that came out that looks interesting.
Lunchbox
I keep thinking I want to see it, but is it out streaming?
Guest
Yeah, I rented it.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Guest
Because normally I go for the premieres, but this one I had to miss.
Lunchbox
I think I might like that one. What'd you think?
Guest
I really did like it. I mean, as like, a Marvel side, it felt everything was just kind of so out of place for that Marvel phase that they were in. So that was kind of a bummer. But I really liked it as a standalone movie just kind of on its own. It's a lot of anti heroes, so that's why I do think you would.
Lunchbox
Like it a little grittier.
Guest
Yes. Not super gritty, but definitely more anti hero based.
Lunchbox
What do you give it?
Guest
I give it 3.5 out of 5 human weapons.
Lunchbox
Got to go over to the tank. Mike, would I like it? Yeah.
Mike
Okay.
Lunchbox
Did you like it?
Mike
Yeah, because it's a lot more action. Kind of going back to like the first Avengers movies. Like, that's the first time I've had that feeling again. And I think Marvel is getting back there. Just their movies just aren't performing as well, which is weird because even though this movie is really good, Fantastic Four was really good.
Lunchbox
That one did well. Box office.
Mike
They still got crushed by Superman.
Lunchbox
Superman.
Co-host/Guest
Superman's great.
Lunchbox
Superman, though, is like an American legacy.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Everybody from 100 years ago to now know Superman. Superman is streaming now.
Guest
Yeah, that's when I watch that one.
Lunchbox
That's quick. Yeah.
Guest
Like that one, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah. You guys did liked it. Wasn't what I expected, though, wasn't it?
Guest
More humor than serious.
Lunchbox
Much more. Guardians of the Galaxy bright colors than Dark Knight. I prefer the Dark Knight, Iron man type stuff. But I totally. I liked it. Just even though I was told everyone was like, definitely a little looser, a little funnier, little goofier at times, I still liked it. I really liked it.
Co-host/Guest
But I think Superman's always a little funny.
Lunchbox
Like. No, they had gritty. Yeah, but talking about the movie, like. But even, like the colors in the movie.
Mike
Man of Steel wasn't very funny. Yeah.
Guest
All the movies of Superman haven't been. But there's TV shows that he's a little bit more lighthearted.
Lunchbox
I used to watch the black and white show on Nick at night.
Co-host/Guest
You would?
Lunchbox
Yeah, with George Reeves, the original Superman.
Co-host/Guest
That can't be right.
Lunchbox
What?
Co-host/Guest
Because Christopher Reeves.
Lunchbox
You want to challenge me on this? I'm not looking anything up, but I went from the dome.
Co-host/Guest
How is it Christopher Reeves, a Superman and George Reeves.
Lunchbox
Let's go to my assistant.
Co-host/Guest
Both. Both.
Lunchbox
Hey, shut up. Died. Hey, shut up. Let's just see here.
Bobby Bones
He was.
Lunchbox
I might be wrong. Okay. Well, there you go.
Co-host/Guest
You got it.
Bobby Bones
George Reeves is Superman.
Guest
I guess I didn't know there's a black and white.
Lunchbox
Hello. Hope you're having a good day. I'd like to ask this question because we're talking about it here in the studio. I used to watch the old Superman in black and white. Could you tell me the story of the actor who played Superman?
Ebony
Absolutely.
Lunchbox
So the act.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, Internet bad. WI fi that time.
Lunchbox
Or she's developed a stutter. Dang it. It's George Ray's lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm looking at a picture of him.
Lunchbox
Okay. Why? What?
Co-host/Guest
So he got murdered, right?
Bobby Bones
I don't know about that.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, yeah.
Caller/Guest
The.
Co-host/Guest
The original black and white Superman got murdered in his house.
Lunchbox
Really?
Bobby Bones
How do you know that?
Co-host/Guest
That was a movie about him. Hollywood, Linda. Hollywood.
Lunchbox
I don't know. I know that some kid pulled a gun on him once and made him question being Superman anymore because he would do all these appearances. Superman kid pulled his guns. Like, let's see if you really are like. The kid thought he. Superman was real.
Co-host/Guest
No way.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
This is old one.
Bobby Bones
His death was officially ruled suicide.
Co-host/Guest
Mmm.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
I think at the time it was like. Oh, you don't know.
Lunchbox
You weren't there at the time.
Co-host/Guest
No new stories, news stories from.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but other people think he was murdered. But he said official cause of death, suicide.
Lunchbox
George Reeves officially ruled a suicide. The circumstances have led to many conspiracy theories. That's where the murder comes from. His death by gunshot wound occurred in 1959. And despite official ruling inconsistencies, unanswered questions. I think everything in the 50s, 60s and 70s are all unanswered questions and inconsistent. There's no. You just commit crimes like crazy.
Co-host/Guest
The Notebook. Yeah. So what were you doing at the time? Murdered, man.
Lunchbox
And when they wouldn't have somebody, they could just pin it on somebody so they'd get a promotion.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah. Oh, gosh, yes.
Lunchbox
It was crazy. You could just cross state line. It really was. The Dukes of Hazzard murder. Walk across the line and be like, can't cross the line and get me the cops.
Co-host/Guest
Go to the county line.
Lunchbox
Yes, exactly what it was. Okay, let's see what we got here. Police arrest a guy for kidnapping himself. Police arrested a 29 year old man named Bello Aziz for the unique crime of staging his own kidnapping to extort money from his own family. Bellow 9News Ng with a story. Investigators caught on to this scheme. That's crazy. You're gonna get your own family for money.
Co-host/Guest
That's like get somebody else's family.
Lunchbox
But they may not care enough about you.
Co-host/Guest
Right, right, right.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Co-host/Guest
Remember that girl that went for a.
Bobby Bones
Run and Jennifer Wilbanks.
Co-host/Guest
Jennifer Wilbanks, kidnapped, runaway. Brian, stage of kidnap. Remember that story?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's.
Bobby Bones
It's two Mexican guys in a van.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, that's the stu.
Lunchbox
That's it. That's why you remember. Because it's Mexican.
Co-host/Guest
Mexican guys. And it was. It was all false.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Sotheby's to auction off Eddie Van Halen's legendary Frankenstrat guitar. They expect to go for two to three million dollars.
Co-host/Guest
Let's go.
Lunchbox
He's not even dead.
Co-host/Guest
Eddie Van Halen's dead.
Lunchbox
He did die.
Co-host/Guest
Died of cancer.
Lunchbox
Recently.
Co-host/Guest
Five years ago.
Lunchbox
Okay. Semi recently.
Co-host/Guest
Somewhat recently.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Co-host/Guest
There's a good doc. Yeah, five years ago. Good documentary on Sammy Hagar on Hulu.
Lunchbox
Hollywood Reporter.
Co-host/Guest
Just a random fact that I saw the other day. It's short. It's like an hour. It's cool. He tells the whole story of how, you know, Van Halen calls him up and says, hey, David Lee Roth just quit, man. You want to try, you want to try to jam with us and see if we're a good fit? He's like, yeah, sure. He went. And they're like, we love you, dude. Join the band. But he'd already started. He just started his solo career, which was doing really well. So it was almost a risk. Like, dude, my solo career is doing great. I'm making lots of money being a Solo artist. Why would I join this band? But it was Van Halen, so he did it.
Lunchbox
I feel like I don't need to watch it now. You just gave me the whole story.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, well, there's more to it, but.
Lunchbox
4 year old guy in Connecticut was rescued after he got stuck in a playground slide meant for kids.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, I've done that.
Bobby Bones
Stuck in a slide?
Co-host/Guest
No, not get stuck. But I go down those.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, but yeah, sometimes it's a little tight. You don't realize that you get in there.
Lunchbox
The fire department responded to Northeast Elementary School. A man was trapped in the tube slide around 4:30pm on Saturday. He was wedged into the middle portion of the slide. Authorities gave the man oxygen. Ventilation was also set up to cool the space.
Co-host/Guest
Probably a big dude, huh?
Lunchbox
The man was free within 30 minutes. WFSB. All I see is him crammed into this slide. They don't have a picture of him just out there or on a scale. Have you watched the show on Netflix and I haven't. The Biggest Loser and the people talking about it? No, they were on it.
Mike
I watched some of the trailer of it. I wanted to click on it.
Lunchbox
I can't get myself to watch it.
Bobby Bones
It's a documentary. Oh, I'm all over that. I used to watch the Biggest Loser.
Caller/Guest
Man.
Mike
I just heard him talking about like how many calories they were burning versus how much they were eating. They were basically eating nothing at all.
Co-host/Guest
Wow.
Lunchbox
They were like tortured.
Mike
That's what it made it sound like.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man, that's bad.
Lunchbox
How long can you hold your breath? Eddie, if you had to guess.
Co-host/Guest
Gosh, a minute.
Lunchbox
Morgan, if you had to guess.
Guest
I used to be really good. I wanna say I had clocked it one time, like a minute and a half. But since COVID 20 seconds.
Co-host/Guest
Yeah, Covid got us all.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
I thought 45 seconds. When you said it, like, that's just what popped in my head.
Lunchbox
I think I could do a minute plus. But I was reading this story about this guy who held his breath and he set the record.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, the diver guy.
Lunchbox
29 minutes and three seconds.
Co-host/Guest
I don't even know how you could try that.
Lunchbox
I know, I know.
Co-host/Guest
Without thinking. You're gonna die.
Lunchbox
On June 14th of this year, the guy's name, Videmore Maresic took one last gulp of pure oxygen, laid down in the pool there. He remained cool as a cucumber, they say for 29 minutes and three seconds. That's officially the longest held voluntary breath according to the Guinness Book of Records. He Beat the previous record holder by nearly five minutes. Science alert.
Co-host/Guest
Did he die?
Lunchbox
No, no. Because it shows him coming up and he's in a wetsuit.
Guest
Did it like.
Lunchbox
Cause he did it underwater so that you can't cheat. Because you cheat. Hold your nose, just get a little trickle in and out.
Guest
Did it ruin his brain or anything at all? I feel like that much lack of oxygen to your brain?
Lunchbox
I don't think so. I think. I mean, I've watched the video. I think he's fine, Mike, don't you?
Mike
Yeah, I think he's. He's okay.
Co-host/Guest
I just didn't know that was humanly possible.
Lunchbox
I think as much as five minutes, I'm like, not humanly possible. And he was there for 29 minutes.
Co-host/Guest
You ever caught a catfish before?
Lunchbox
Many.
Co-host/Guest
And like, you leave them out of the water for like a couple minutes and you're like, oh, I forgot to throw that catfish back. And it's just like, no problem. Go. They're the ones that like. And I feel like they're like the diver. They can hold their breath forever. Other fish, you keep them out of the water for like 30 seconds. It's trouble.
Lunchbox
I don't think we ever threw catfish back. We trot line and then keep them and eat them.
Co-host/Guest
Mine was kind of like, oh, I'm gonna keep this catfish. And then after a couple minutes I'm like, no, I'm just gonna take them back.
Lunchbox
That's mean, dude.
Co-host/Guest
I know, I know. But to watch them go, like, just wake up and take off.
Lunchbox
Unless their brains all messed up, they're at the catfish. Maybe a woman in Minnesota was being shot at in her car outside of her house and her boyfriend did not come out to help. And so I'm gonna give you this story here. According to the County Sheriff, the 34 year old woman had parked on Main street where at least seven rounds were fired. At least two bullets were embedded in the woman's vehicle. The woman hid in her car during shooting. She was in the path of a gunfight, gunfire. Her boyfriend never came out because he was playing a video game, had his headset on.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, so he didn't hear it.
Lunchbox
The woman called her boyfriend, who was in their apartment playing video games because he was wearing headphones. He did not hear the shooting. When she called, he learned she had been shot at. He ran out, but he didn't. Can you imagine the guilt trip on that dude?
Co-host/Guest
Oh, big time.
Bobby Bones
Hold on, hold on. No, no, there's no guilt trip because you're not gonna run out if there's gunfire going on? You can't.
Co-host/Guest
Sure. For your wife or for your.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, I think your loved one.
Bobby Bones
Are you guys serious?
Lunchbox
Or if they've been hit, you go and send. You run out so you can pull them out and save them and call the cops.
Co-host/Guest
You're telling me lunchbox. If you were inside and your kids were playing the front yard and you heard gunshots, you would just be like, I'm not going out there.
Bobby Bones
The gunshots are over.
Co-host/Guest
What are you doing?
Lunchbox
But what if they've been hit? You don't even know it. You go out there and you grab them, pull them in. You go out there, you at least.
Co-host/Guest
Look to see what's going on.
Bobby Bones
I mean, and I think kids is different than an adult.
Co-host/Guest
Okay. Your wife.
Bobby Bones
I think I'm waiting till the gunshots are over.
Lunchbox
Crazy KTTC with that.
Bobby Bones
What's the point of both you being shot?
Co-host/Guest
Well, you want to see at least.
Lunchbox
What if she's been shot? So you can know and maybe she doesn't hear it. Maybe she has been shot and you pull her in, you call the ambulance. There are like eight things that could happen other than you just walk out and get shot, too.
Bobby Bones
I mean, you hear the shots, you call 911. Is anybody shot? Not sure. Haven't gone out there yet. There's still shots going off.
Lunchbox
But you know your wife's out there.
Co-host/Guest
And you're just like, let her be out there.
Lunchbox
Let her be.
Co-host/Guest
Not even looking out the window.
Bobby Bones
Or maybe look out the window. But I don't think the guilt is that bad because how is he going to.
Lunchbox
It's going to be late on him for sure. I'm out here getting shot and you're up there playing Call of Duty.
Co-host/Guest
Unfairly for sure.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I'm not saying it's fair because he.
Co-host/Guest
Could be listening to music, but the fact that he's gaming sounds way worse.
Lunchbox
Yes. Hey, what was your 911 situation?
Co-host/Guest
Okay, this is interesting because it wasn't like a huge emergency, but it could have been an emergency. I was driving down the road in this neighborhood, and I see this guy walk out of, like, a construction build, like a house that was being made. He was shirtless. Looked like he'd been partying all day, maybe all night. And he's wearing, like a red, bright red, like, hat, you know, like the bachelorettes wear around here.
Lunchbox
Bright red hat.
Co-host/Guest
Like a cowboy hat.
Lunchbox
Okay. Yes.
Co-host/Guest
You know, like a party hat.
Lunchbox
Oh, okay. And he. So he looks messed up.
Co-host/Guest
He's messed up and he's weaving through, like, yards, and he's going through multiple people's backyards in the neighborhood. And I'm. At first I was like, okay, maybe it's a neighbor or something. But after a second, I'm like, all right, this is not. This is someone that's, like, drunk and going through people's yards. What if he tries to go into a house? I gotta call the cops. But do I call 911 or do I call 311? Is it an emergency or not?
Lunchbox
Did you feel like anyone was in imminent danger?
Co-host/Guest
No, but could have been.
Lunchbox
Okay, But a lot of things could be. I think the General rule of 911 is you call if someone is in imminent danger. 3, 11 as you call if there's a possibility of danger or something that could happen. I wouldn't have called 911 then, because if you see him, like, breaking in a door, that's 911.
Co-host/Guest
Sure. Because he's already like, yeah, what'd you do? I called 311.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's the right move.
Co-host/Guest
I called three one, one. Even though my wife was like, no, call 911.
Lunchbox
I'm like, well, there's really no need in the middle. Call 611.
Co-host/Guest
And no one answered. But here's the thing. I called 311, told him everything, and then I waited around. I followed the guy for, like, another, like, 10, 15 minutes. Reminded me of Lunchbox, you know, Just kind of see what he was gonna do. And he kept doing the same thing from house to house. And 30 minutes later, no one showed up. Cops never came. Maybe because it was an emergency, wasn't.
Lunchbox
A threat to anybody.
Bobby Bones
That's why you call 91 1, dude.
Co-host/Guest
So I thought he's gonna say, all right.
Lunchbox
On the Bobby Cast today, I do talk about this boat that they found. This is a long time ago, and they found this boat out at sea. Everything was normal. All the belongings were still on there.
Co-host/Guest
Is this a riddle? What is this?
Lunchbox
No, it's not a riddle. It's not a riddle. It's a real story, okay? All the belongings were on there. The food was still there. So it wasn't pirates. It wasn't. The lifeboat was gone, but there were way more people on the boat that could have fit on the lifeboat. And they don't understand where the. What happened. It's like one of the big mysteries.
Co-host/Guest
Cruise ship.
Lunchbox
No, like, it's like 1700, something like that.
Co-host/Guest
Oh, okay. An old, old ship.
Lunchbox
Yeah, on a ship.
Co-host/Guest
Got it, got it, got it.
Lunchbox
And it's still one of the big mystery. There's another one too, where this, like, 800 acres of trees were just, like, melted down. Whoa. And they're like, well, must have been a meteor exploding. But there's no fragments of the meteor. Whoa. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Co-host/Guest
Where'd you find all this stuff?
Lunchbox
I keep a list of my phone of, like, stories that usually not tick tock. Sometimes I'll get a couple on there and then I'll research them out. But I keep a list on my phone and I think I'd watch the Amy Bailey or Amy Bradley. And so I had them. And Laney, that interview was on like, 35, 40 minutes. So I was like, gonna put another 15, 20 minutes of interesting things on there. And so I just put them on there. So talking about it. But yeah, that's on the Bobby cast.
Co-host/Guest
Today I started watching Yogurt Shop Murders.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, don't watch that.
Lunchbox
We were there.
Co-host/Guest
I know. It's bringing back a lot of memories, man.
Bobby Bones
The sisters lived 10 houses down for me.
Co-host/Guest
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
What's that on?
Co-host/Guest
That's on Max. And it's. It's episode. Weekly episodes. So there's only three out right now. But a lot of stuff I forgot about. A lot of details that I forgot about.
Lunchbox
We're watching Butterfly on Amazon. Anybody?
Guest
No, I debated that one. But I started Ballard, which was right next to it. And I think it like, Ballard.
Lunchbox
What's Ballard?
Guest
It's about a lapd. She's an agent, and she starts doing cold cases.
Co-host/Guest
That sounds cool.
Guest
It's really good.
Lunchbox
That's that avenue queue or room queue they just renewed for a second year on Netflix.
Guest
Department queue.
Lunchbox
That's what it is. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. Butterflies about a guy who used to be like Special forces, like, mercenary spy type stuff. He's dead, except he's really not. Whoa. And now the agency he formed is, like, trying to kill him. It's good. It's a little on the nose, meaning it can be a little corny. It's not. Full Night Agent. That's the corniest freaking job I've ever seen in my life.
Guest
So good, though.
Lunchbox
And we watched it and we enjoyed it, but everything was right on the nose. Corny as crap. Still good. This isn't full that, but there's a little corny to it. But it's pretty good. We're watching on Amazon right now, so. All right, that's it. Thank you, guys. I think that's it. And we'll see you tomorrow, Amy. There's I wouldn't say 0% chance she's on the show tomorrow as sick as she is. Yeah, that's my best guess. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Goodbye everybody.
