[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My fikers just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Eddie]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[Bobby Bones]

Taking care of your yard can feel weirdly overwhelming. Sunday is a yard care company that builds a custom plan based on your soil and climate change, then sends you exactly what your yard needs. No harsh chemicals, just nutrient dense ingredients you apply with a hose. It's designed to make yard care feel doable. Go to getsunday.com to get your free custom yard analysis. That's getsunday.com. So something we've been like, following along with is we have a woman that cleans the building here. She doesn't work for our company, but she works for the building. And Eddie was talking to her and she was sick and she went to the doctor said, well, the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her, but she still feels terrible and she's going back home to El Salvador. Okay. And so some of us said we were going to put some money in because we were going to raise money for her to go to the doctor

[Lunchbox]

for her medical expenses until the doctor

[Bobby Bones]

said we can't find anything. So then it was, well, let's raise some money and. And let's just send her back home with some money. So we got two updates here. Yeah, you have one.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, does somebody else have one?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, do you not? No, no. You have one about people coming up to you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Like, people around the office are saying, like, hey, I heard you guys are like giving some money to the cleaning lady. Like, I want to donate. So we've gotten like $150 more than what we're giving out of just people in the office. And I feel like today probably. Cause I think today's her last day.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's Morgan's update. Is it? I think it was yesterday.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was her. Her last day was yesterday. Talk to her like she was transitioning somebody over.

[Amy]

How are you going to get her?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm holding this money.

[Lunchbox]

We weren't. Yeah, I have the cash right here.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I got cash out and everything. Cuz I thought today was her last day. I didn't know that.

[Morgan]

Did you get her like contact info or anything?

[Lunchbox]

I have her number. I can text her.

[Amy]

Maybe she has Venmo.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, Eddie has a bunch of cash.

[Jeffrey]

I have cash.

[Lunchbox]

I. I went out.

[Amy]

Eddie can deposit it and then Venmo her.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't trust it.

[Lunchbox]

Why not?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't trust him.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So I'll give you my money.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Today?

[Amy]

Yeah, I'll give you mine.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Who else is.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, guys, people are giving money now.

[Bobby Bones]

So, like, we'll do it today because you got to contact. I don't know when she's going home. Do you?

[Morgan]

No, she was leaving this weekend.

[Lunchbox]

Her flight's Friday.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you know that first.

[Lunchbox]

I know that. I saw the ticket.

[Bobby Bones]

You just didn't know that. Paper ticket?

[Lunchbox]

No, she showed me on her phone. Got it. The Flights.

[Morgan]

And she did tell me that she thinks she might be able to get more help, like, more specific help. They were able to discover what her problem was. So I do think she might be able to get better help where she's going. That is a bonus side. She's hoping, at least.

[Amy]

That's not what Eddie heard.

[Eddie]

What Eddie would tell us.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what, guys?

[Amy]

All we're going to do is this Lost in Translation.

[Bobby Bones]

We're just going to help somebody out.

[Lunchbox]

Well, what's the difference?

[Bobby Bones]

Raymundo comes in the room yelling, she ain't sick. Eddie comes in the room going, she's sick. But we can't find what she's sick of.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think.

[Amy]

And she just wants to go be with her mom. And Morgan's like, no, she's going there because she thinks they can help her more.

[Lunchbox]

I think it's very simple. There is a loss in translation here.

[Amy]

But you speak Spanish.

[Lunchbox]

I understand Spanish. They don't.

[Morgan]

There was a translator with mine. It was the guy that she was transitioning over to, and I was talking with both of them, so.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

He's full Spanish.

[Lunchbox]

So the translator here, like, what is happening?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we'll make sure. We're going to give you the money today.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You give it to her.

[Lunchbox]

Perfect. I even got a car to look today or tomorrow. Says, hang in there.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

Should we. Should you write?

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

Write what that hanging there is in espanol.

[Lunchbox]

She probably knows what that means.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty universal.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you for looking out for other people.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Especially because you had such a rough day yesterday.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, it's been rough.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you tell your wife you had low testosterone? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And she said, oh, that's not a big deal. That's normal. Like, that happens.

[Bobby Bones]

It happens to all the guys.

[Lunchbox]

It's okay. We'll figure it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you start googling things that you can do?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah. Squats is definitely one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

People say squats, so guess what I'm doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it works out. The largest muscle, the largest muscles in your body. People neglect their legs. Yeah.

[Amy]

And glitz.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's okay. You can do some squats.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And then the diet, for sure. Like, you got to eat a little better. Better diet. So I'll start working on that. But the exercise, man. And they say weightlifting, not just like cardio workout, but like strength workout with weights. That's what we were doing. I bet you when we were working out, my tea was Skyrocketing.

[Amy]

When was that?

[Lunchbox]

Last year?

[Bobby Bones]

Six months ago? Well, before I went in for ankle surgery.

[Amy]

That was a long time ago.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and I went in in November for ankle surgery, so.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, so two things. One, we're gonna get the money today. Two, you're gonna do squats.

[Lunchbox]

We're gonna start working on some tea.

[Bobby Bones]

Three, lunchbox is about to leave for jury duty today. Yeah, big day. What's crazy is he didn't even know he had it. Did not know because we talked about it yesterday. How did you not. You don't have. You don't keep a calendar.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

So how did. It was a text message.

[Eddie]

It was a text message that says I was confirmed for jury duty. And it said the date. And I'm like, oh. And I guess apparently because I had deferred my or I missed my last one. They don't mail you one this time. They just assign you a day and you're supposed to show up and I'm supposed to check my email for that. And I didn't know that, but thank you for the text message.

[Bobby Bones]

How many emails addresses do you have?

[Eddie]

I have like, four.

[Lunchbox]

You still have your Hotmail one, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but I use my Hotmail. That's my main one. That's my main.

[Lunchbox]

Go to Hotmail's. Like, thank God we got one.

[Amy]

So you have a work email, you have Hotmail, and what else?

[Eddie]

2G mails.

[Amy]

For what?

[Eddie]

One was for selling stuff from the storage unit, ebay, things like that.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't use that one anymore.

[Eddie]

It's still there. And then I have the store, losersmail.com.

[Amy]

that's different. But yes, he still uses the storage unit, Gmail, because he's still selling things,

[Bobby Bones]

so we should still be making money from him.

[Amy]

Don't you still have things to sell from the pallet?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm trying, man. No one's been biting.

[Bobby Bones]

So you have a house full of garbage.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's in the guest bedroom.

[Lunchbox]

All our stuff.

[Amy]

And if something randomly were to sell, then we will get paid.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like, I have, like, a picture frame. I have the massage. Like, a weird blue massage thing.

[Bobby Bones]

So for listeners that are new to this show, we all went in, I don't know, three years ago, maybe four. Maybe four.

[Lunchbox]

Really? That was, like, forever ago.

[Amy]

Guys, time is flying.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

We put in our money together and bought this big pallet of Amazon returns. You just know what's in it. So we all put in, like, 80 bucks, and lunchbox was going to spearhead it be. What are they Called an apprentice, the team leader, whatever.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you want to call it the project manager.

[Bobby Bones]

Project manager. That's it. And so we didn't get our money for, like two years. And we did. It was like 120 bucks or something. And he still has the stuff in his house. If I was your wife, I would be like, dude, get this garbage out of here.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Lunchbox]

And what's it. Is everything listed? On what? Ebay.

[Eddie]

Like, what's it on Facebook Marketplace.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's listed from years ago. Right. So people.

[Eddie]

Sometimes I go back in and change the price by a couple of dollars. That way it boosts it back up.

[Bobby Bones]

Mystery pallet in 2023. So three years ago, we all went in, we spent $525 total, $87.50 per person. And then it took us two years to get any money back. And then Lunchbox got a fight with

[Eddie]

Abby, but a huge profit was made. I mean, everybody was happy.

[Lunchbox]

We did make money.

[Debbie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It's just. It's a lot harder than it looks like. When you look at it online and they show you these videos, it was like, man, they sell it in minutes. You're like, oh, my gosh, it's going to be so easy. They cut out all the stuff. They fluff it. So you want to buy them. They don't. They don't show you the grind and how they're out there for hours and days and weeks and months trying to sell this crap.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think you should lower the prices, though?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

At this point, it's all profit. Right.

[Eddie]

I mean, like, there was that one guy that. There's some hunting thing, like it was some little thing. And he. It was listed for $150. So I listed it on Facebook marketplace for 99 bucks. And he hits me up and goes, I'll give you $20 for it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a yard sale.

[Eddie]

You can't even close. And he goes, well, I got to make a profit on it. I said, I ain't worried about your profit. I'm worried about my profit.

[Lunchbox]

You said all that?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

But did you make money?

[Eddie]

I never sold it to him.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Eddie]

He goes, I'll check back in a week, see if you got any offers. He checked back, goes, give you 20 for it. And I said, why didn't you go, 40 he want. I said, 99.

[Bobby Bones]

40 is more than zero.

[Eddie]

I understand, but when it was $150 item, it was brand new. I wasn't giving it up for 20.

[Bobby Bones]

But if nobody's buying it, why not? Sell it for something.

[Eddie]

I agree with you, but I thought, okay, this guy is interested. That means there's other people that are interested. So I gotta wait. You got to be patient in business. You can't just jump at the first opportunity.

[Bobby Bones]

Three years.

[Lunchbox]

And that was three years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

Three years.

[Eddie]

And after about six months, he quit hitting me up after a few.

[Bobby Bones]

You probably don't want to talk to that person anymore. You guys can call us if you want. 877-77-Bobby. 877-77-B O B B Y on the Bobby Bones show. Now, Megan Maroney, what's your official ruling, Cool or not cool to wear an artist merch to their own concert?

[Megan Moroney]

Super cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I think so, too.

[Megan Moroney]

Super cool. If it's like an old tour, too, you have something not everyone at this place can have.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, if you want to go and buy a shirt and then put it on, do it.

[Megan Moroney]

My. My fans do that 100%. Like, I look out, and it looks like an army of camo. And it's just. Yeah, it's like they don't even worry about their outfit. They just put on the shirt when they get there. So I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

And in the end, who gives a crap what other people think about what you're wearing?

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah. Dumb. And like, that artist, you're at their show, I can tell you from an artist's point of view, they love it. I love seeing, like, a lucky shirt. I'm like, oh, wow, you've been around for a while.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever see any really cool old merch that you haven't seen seen in a long time and somebody's wearing it?

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah, during the, like, my EP Pistol Made of Roses era, there's this, like, sparkly denim jacket with, like, a picture of me that I took on, like, an iPhone. And there was only, like, a few of those made, but they were sold for, like, 100 bucks, which, like, back then was like, I couldn't believe anybody would spend a hundred dollars on me. And, yeah, there's a couple of them floating out there.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you remember any of those we'll call them Day 1ers who were fans of you before you had really popped?

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah, I have, like, a notes app of my fans on my phone. Not, like, all of them, obviously, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, now that'd be a. That'd be a tough app to keep. But, yeah, like.

[Megan Moroney]

But, like, yeah, no. And, like, I remember, like, some of these girls, too, at my meet and greets. Like, I've met them, like, several times to the point of where, like, I know what's going on in their lives and stuff. So it's like, we would definitely be friends. We are friends.

[Bobby Bones]

If you died, could they release three or four records of songs, stuff you've recorded that isn't happening?

[Amy]

Probably.

[Megan Moroney]

But even like, for example, the reason too, that I don't pitch songs a lot is because, like, Wedding Dress, I wrote during the Lucky era and that just made this album because it, like, wasn't time for that.

[Bobby Bones]

So that would have been a great song you were holding on to then that.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have any of those now? I'm not even asking anything specific because I don't want you to tip off somebody a great concept and they steal it from you.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I just wonder how long you have stuff sitting in your phone. Do you have just concept ideas that are great that you haven't written yet?

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah, tons of those. My notes app is really scary.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you sing into your app Sometimes?

[Megan Moroney]

The melodies I do, but I forget to, like, name them. So then in my just this, like, new recording 800, and I'm like, I have to go through and like, listen to all. So it's really time consuming. So usually no, but there are some things where I'll just be driving and I'm like, I need to sing into the phone.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever get ideas when you sleep?

[Megan Moroney]

Yes. There's been times where, like, I've woken up in the middle of the night and I learned my lesson because there was one time that I was like, oh, I'm gonna remember this in the morning. So I'm not gonna write down didn't remember it. Lost that idea forever. Still haven't found it. But I know that it exists somewhere, which I always find really interesting because I'm like, I wonder when it's gonna come back to me, because I'm sure it will. But yeah, if I wake up in the middle of the night, like, gotta write it down. That's why I wrote Hair Salon from a Dream.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my favorite song ever. Ever of yours? Not of all time. There are other ones I like more

[Megan Moroney]

like, I'm surprised of my song.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Megan Moroney]

Hair Salon is, I think, because that's

[Bobby Bones]

the song that I was sent, like, hey. My wife actually sent it to me. She was, hey, this girl's good. And then nice. And then I know their other writer as well.

[Megan Moroney]

Mackenzie.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Megan Moroney]

Micah, Ben. Yeah. I love them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's a really cool song because I think it, like, reminds me of, well, my home, my small town.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Just how people are.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah. It Was literally a dream that I have. I'm in my hometown here salon. I haven't, like, sat down yet. I'm in, like, the waiting chairs, and it's like an open thing and three chairs down. In my dream, they're like, oh, my God. So and so got engaged. Look how cute they are. And everyone in the hair salon runs over to this person's chair, like, three chairs down, and like, oh, my God, they look so cute.

[Amy]

Look at her ring.

[Megan Moroney]

They are so cute. And I'm, like, sitting there looking out the window, like, with the tear coming down my face. And I woke up and I was like, hair salon. Like, it was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

But that was a dream song. Yeah, that's cool. On the Bobby Bones show now, Megan Maroney, you got a puppy.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Puppy puppies are very hard.

[Megan Moroney]

They are.

[Bobby Bones]

They're awesome.

[Megan Moroney]

They're. She's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

So hard.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah, she's been doing this thing. I don't know if it's like, I'm not into the woo woo moon stuff that much, but, like, it was a new moon recently, right? And she's been crazy at, like, 10:45pm every night. And I go to bed by then, like, I'm lame in my, like, you know, training era. And it's just like, yeah, she's crazy nuts. She. She had my hat running around the other day last night. She's like, my wood floor has, like, real wood, so there's, like, some holes in the floor that are from the wood. Does that make any sort of sense?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Megan Moroney]

She's digging at it, trying to open the floors. I'm like, please don't do that. Not sure how I would replace it.

[Bobby Bones]

What's her name? Boots. And you named her after.

[Megan Moroney]

So her back feet are white. Like my boots that I wear on stage. It was between Boots and Lorraine. Because my song waiting on the Rain is gonna ruin the song for everybody, by the way. So sorry. If you listen to that song, it sounds like I'm saying, waiting on the rain, waiting on the flood, waiting on Lorraine, you know? But it's the rain, right?

[Bobby Bones]

So why would that run. I think that's funny.

[Megan Moroney]

I know, but. Because now you can't unhear it. It's not waiting on. It's waiting on the rain.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know what the. No, I know what the song is. Oh, yeah.

[Megan Moroney]

It's just like, who's Lorraine? Who the hell is Lorraine?

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Megan Moroney]

Like, that kind of thing. So anyways, I thought she would be cute, like, a puppy named Lorraine would be cute. But then when I saw her back feet were white, like my boots that I wear.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Megan Moroney]

And then I was thinking, what could her middle name be with a fur? So it sounds.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, sounds distinguished on the Bobby Bones show. Now, Megan Maroney, when you're tour prepping or you're. What'd you say you were doing your tour?

[Megan Moroney]

Tour prep?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, tour prep. What does that, like, what does that mean?

[Megan Moroney]

No alcohol. May 1st is when I really super duper lock in with like the diet stuff. Right now it's just kind of been like, I'm not eating out and not like it's mostly like steak, fish, vegetables, the boring stuff. But it might get even crazier. May 1st. We'll see. But anyways, it's like the diet aspect. No drinking. My rehearsals start tomorrow. I'm doing. I'll do all my rehearsals in a weighted vest. I've underestimated how sometimes my outfits. Because sometimes my outfits weigh like 10 to 15 pounds. And when I've done the performance, I'm like, I am not in shape for this. So I'm rehearsing in a weighted vest.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Megan Moroney]

Also, the singing with a weighted vest on a treadmill doing that red light therapy.

[Bobby Bones]

I was going to ask you about that.

[Megan Moroney]

He actually gave me. He was like. I was asking him about it because he had a red light mount and he was like, oh, do you want this one? I have an extra one. Just gave it to me. Like, absolutely, yes. But it's the higher dose, Matt. So doing that every day. Sauna and cold tub every day.

[Bobby Bones]

Physically, this feels like it's such a. A positive grind, though. I don't think a lot of people would understand that it takes all of that, like, for you to do all that just to get ready for this.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah. And I mean, I think it's. I obviously. Oh, legree, too. Have you ever been to lagree?

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a crazy plot for those that don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like. It's like a pilates machine times eight. Yeah.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah. And then go super slow and die the whole time. Like, my legs fall asleep while I'm doing it. I'm like, I' sure if this is good for me. But. Yeah, a lot of strength training too. But I. I think that I've never taken touring as serious, like, as far as, like, the prep for it as I'm doing right now. I want it to be the best show and it's the biggest one yet. It's going to be the biggest, most involved show. So just really locking in when you're

[Bobby Bones]

doing this tour, are you keeping, like, how do you keep things a surprise nowadays?

[Megan Moroney]

By not telling anyone at all, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, do you take everybody. Do you take everybody's phones?

[Megan Moroney]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if you're even tour prepping. Are you rehearsing? You'll say rehearsal.

[Megan Moroney]

Oh, rehearsing. Oh, everybody knows better.

[Bobby Bones]

But how do you do, like, not have random security people in there or.

[Megan Moroney]

We just don't. We keep that locked down. I think, too. Like, obviously, my touring crew is expanding. I think they said I have 16 trucks this year.

[Bobby Bones]

Holy crap.

[Megan Moroney]

That's a lot of trucks.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot of trucks. You know what I hear that's a lot of trucks to pay for.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But good for you for needing them also. Like, it's both.

[Megan Moroney]

So obviously with that many trucks, there's a lot more people on tour. But a lot of my touring crew is the same they've been for a long time. So it's kind of just an understanding. Yeah, we have a. I have a good group.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're doing 49. 49 shows on this tour.

[Megan Moroney]

Is that true?

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I see here.

[Megan Moroney]

I thought it was 50, but maybe it's 49. 50 sounds better, so we'll go with that.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you're doing okay, let's say 50 shows. How is that different? Do you do different wardrobes every night, or do you have.

[Megan Moroney]

That would be a secret.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah. Very good. Tell me about medicine when you write that. Like, what. I don't know what happens in a room. What do you remember about it?

[Megan Moroney]

I was with Connie Harrington, Jesse Alexander, and Jesse Jo. We were in the East Tennessee mountains. And I had the how youw like the Taste youe Own Medicine in My Notes app. And it's, like, so easy writing with them. And especially, too, when it's just, like, you know, it's the day that, like, great things are gonna happen. It was one of those days, and I was just talking about how, like, let's write a song about how when you treat a man like, 1% of how they treat you, like, sometimes they just freak out and they're like, this is horrible. This is the worst thing to ever happen. And I'm like, oh, you don't like it, do you? Like, oh, imagine that. And so, yeah, I. It was just, like, a really fun song to, like, just talk about. We were all, like, giggling the whole time and just thinking, like, heard from you in three long days. You won't hear from me for Five. Oh, you gave your number to an LA blonde while I gave a quarterback mine. It's just like, just playing your game the same way you. I learned it, how to play it from you. So

[Bobby Bones]

you playing that in concert for sure? Yeah, I. I still pick hair salon.

[Megan Moroney]

I like it, but Hair salon over medicine.

[Bobby Bones]

Hair salon overall, other than I told you, it's my favorite song.

[Megan Moroney]

No, I love hair salon. I love that you're a hair salon truther because I've told you it's existed

[Bobby Bones]

so long, it's like when you pick a favorite song in life, you don't pick a new song.

[Megan Moroney]

Well, maybe I'll play it. Sometimes it's just so difficult.

[Bobby Bones]

You just need to know which show I'm at is what you're saying. So I'll let you know ahead of time. And that one you can play. You guys can get tickets. We talked about before you came in, the Cloud 9 Tour, just MeganMarone dot. Most of the dates are sold out. There are still some tickets left. I really appreciate you coming, hanging out. I'm a massive fan.

[Megan Moroney]

Appreciate you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm massive fan. Obviously. I want to go talk to Jeffrey in West Virginia. Hey, Jeffrey, you're on the show.

[Jeffrey]

Good morning, studio.

[Eddie]

Morning.

[Jeffrey]

So this is for Eddie. It's. My wife and I, we have five kids. We're done having kids. She called me this morning crying.

[Debbie]

And

[Jeffrey]

she works in the hospital setting. She's a provider. Well, there's a kid that's been there for two days because the foster parents brought him in. He's been abused. They said they couldn't handle him anymore. Now my wife is talking about taking him in.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So what is your question for Eddie? Because Eddie's.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Taking in foster kids ended up. Now they're his kids. There's adopted kids.

[Jeffrey]

What is, what is the process? What is it like? Because I'll be honest with you, when my wife calls me crying, it tears me up.

[Lunchbox]

Jeffrey. I don't. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't want any more kids, but at the same time, I don't mind caring for someone and helping them out because they're in a bad situation. And it may be down the road like Eddie will adopt him, but I

[Lunchbox]

don't know what it's like in your state, Jeffrey, but in our state, you have to get certified to be a foster parent. And it's, I mean, it was, I would say, five month process of going to classes and getting certified. So it wasn't that easy where like a kid comes up and you have the opportunity. They may. You may propose to them that you're going to start doing the classes and that you're willing to take that kid in, but I really don't know. You'd have to talk to a caseworker about how all that works. But as far as the feeling that you're going through, I mean, yeah, you got to be ready for anything. If you take a child in, you got to be ready for having them for maybe two or three months, a couple weeks to the rest of your life. Like, it's so unpredictable. You just have to be open to helping this child however you can do it.

[Jeffrey]

The parents haven't been present. Like I said, my wife, she's a doctor, and so she sees all this stuff, but the parents have never been present. He's been in foster care his entire life. He's five years old, but the last two foster homes he's been in, he's been abused. And this one just brought him in and said they can't take care of him anymore. So he's been at the hospital for two days because they can't find placement for him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think it's what Eddie's saying is he doesn't know if you have a doctor to get a free pass to foster.

[Amy]

Well, I don't know. It sounds like.

[Bobby Bones]

Cut the line.

[Lunchbox]

It should.

[Eddie]

It should.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Amy]

Are they wanting. I guess they're wanting to maybe foster, but if you wanted to start the adoption process.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, even the foster process, Eddie's saying, like, you have to.

[Amy]

Right. If he. If they want to bypass the foster part, they could go the adoption route and get a lawyer and.

[Lunchbox]

Is that right? Amy, can you just jump?

[Amy]

I didn't do foster. No, I mean, you have to. There's certain things. There's a home study that has to be done. Like, of course there's a process, but he may be. If they go through a lawyer or find an agency that can expedite some stuff, they. It might be faster. But, I mean, that's adoption. Like, that's. For now you're. Now you're talking and.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it sounds like, though, regardless, I don't think. Unless there's like, a doctor free pass, like, fast pass. That you just get to take the kid. No, that it's. That it's months, probably on the low end. A month or two. Process on the very low end.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, even while they're. If they do want to adopt during that interim, the child would have to go back into the system.

[Lunchbox]

I would ask a caseworker or anyone at the hospital that's dealing with whatever he's been going through and see how you can help.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, maybe that's it. Like, how can you help short term while you're also preparing yourself to help, possibly long term? Would that be inaccurate?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it sounds right.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's so sad, Jeffrey. We didn't, like, help you. We didn't help you today. But that is their knowledge and experience with the. Simulate with the situation. They've both been through something somewhat similar.

[Jeffrey]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So it, like, I don't know how else to help them. I. Your wife sounds like a great person. If she wants to help and she sees somebody that needs help and wants to help, I'm sure that's probably why she's in the field that she's in, too.

[Lunchbox]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think you just need to ask the right people how to get started in case it is an option to do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, maybe it's an option.

[Amy]

And. And it's. It's when your emotions are high. It's. It seems like this could, you know, take. Take some time away from it because this is going to be a process anyway, so even your wife stepping away from it, taking a beat, because. Just because you have all the feelings at this moment doesn't mean that y' all are the forever parents for this situation. It will be a lot. And it may be that you very well are. I'm just saying, when you want to take a little bit of the emotion out of it, if she's calling, crying, it's not the exact time to make the decision, to make a huge life decision like this.

[Bobby Bones]

Jeffrey, good luck, man. We're rooting for you.

[Jeffrey]

Hi. Thank you, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Phil, let us know, you know, call us back in a few weeks or a month or so. Let us know what's happening.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. See you later. I wish we could help him more, but I think the help there is. Hey, it's a process. It's not as easy as you just get to bring a kid home, even if you really, really wanted to. Right.

[Lunchbox]

I wish it was as simple as, like, let's help this kid and let's do it now. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If it were that simple, though, you'd have people.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The bad people take advantage of it. Yeah. I mean, that's probably why there's so much bureaucracy.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

In that. Okay, let's go to Debbie in Missouri. Debbie.

[Debbie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You are on the show. What's going on?

[Debbie]

Well, I'm watching the Marionville Comets show right at the moment, and I'm out in the foyer where I can watch and talk.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, what do you want to say?

[Debbie]

And I saw, I. I saw your or heard when I got in the car about the. The bin.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, lunchbox buying the.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amazon. Yeah.

[Debbie]

And it brought back this picture I saw last week of a relative of mine. He decided with his son in law, they would go. They would go get one of those and see what they could sell. And these are macho men that can fix anything, hoping, you know, for tools and stuff. So they opened it up, they paid $40 for it, and it's full of at least 40 plus ladies. Bikini bottoms, large to 2 XL, all

[Bobby Bones]

different colors, just bottoms, new tags, no tops.

[Debbie]

Just bottoms, no tops.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you sell. Is there a market, Amy, for just bottoms?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, topless beaches?

[Amy]

Could be, yeah, if you mix and match.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they sell them?

[Debbie]

Debbie, picture of them. Excuse me?

[Bobby Bones]

Did they end up selling them?

[Debbie]

They've got them. They've got them up for sale for anyone that wants the whole thing for $40. A lot of them. Majority of them have new tags on them too. So if you have a solid bottom print top at home, you can change out your bottoms.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you kind of open that and you're like, what the hell?

[Lunchbox]

I would have loved to see in their faces.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, good luck to them. And they're just looking to make their money back. It sounds like they're only 40 in. Trying to get 40 out. Debbie, thank you for that call. Hope you have an awesome day.

[Debbie]

You're very welcome. Thank you. I enjoy listening to you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you very much. Bye bye. All right, let's go to Stephanie in Texas. Stephanie, you're on

[Debbie]

Morning Studio.

[Bobby Bones]

Morning. What's going on?

[Debbie]

Hey. I was actually listening to last week's show and you owe Lunchbox $100 for the. The tee off.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, I owe him $1. That's a good point. I pulled $1 out of the bucket. I do owe you $1 for this one for low T. What?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that was the prize?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

$1.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I pulled it out of this. So the winner gets the dollar. I still owe more money for prices, right? Well, because I owe money for prices, right? I gave him half that up front, but I'm willing because we're gonna make sure that we gotta. We're gonna pay for the cleaning lady.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So I have the hundred dollars I'm putting in.

[Lunchbox]

You have cash on you?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, And I have another hundred that I can either give to lunchbox for the 100 that he's owed. Or I can just lunchbox from you. Put the hundred in for her lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Think about that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's from you, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'll take my hundred.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. It's from you.

[Lunchbox]

It would be a donation from you.

[Eddie]

Good man.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Wow. So you don't want to donate to her. You just want your hundred?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

It's his money.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, here is $101. Because the T was more about the pride.

[Eddie]

Are we sure it was only a dollar?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm positive, because I reached in there and grabbed it.

[Eddie]

All right, man. But I'll take it either way. I've just got high tea.

[Lunchbox]

You've already won, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You're already the winner.

[Bobby Bones]

So here's another hundred of you. The five I owe you. So now I owe you four. And there's the one for your T. There's your T. $. Eddie, here's my 100 for the okay for the cleaning lady. And if for some reason on the thing I said 100 bucks, then I'll just give you another hundred bucks. But I don't know, maybe I did. I don't know. I just throw money around.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't remember.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't either. And I feel like that would have been something that lunchbox would have remembered.

[Eddie]

Listen, I just remembered that I was going to win the tee off and I was concerned about my tea. The money was secondary.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I can be wrong.

[Eddie]

I love money, but I will do my research.

[Bobby Bones]

I can be wrong. I've been wrong before.

[Lunchbox]

What's your research? Go back and listen.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Stephanie, thanks for bringing that to our attention, though.

[Debbie]

Yeah, no problem. Long time listener. Like 96. 7. Long time.

[Amy]

That is a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

You live in Austin?

[Debbie]

Marble Falls.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Basically the area.

[Debbie]

Yeah. I was probably middle school.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, she was in middle school. We are old.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. All right, Stephanie, have a great day.

[Debbie]

Awesome.

[Eddie]

All right, bye.

[Lunchbox]

Bye.

[Lunchbox]

to Amy first, but Eddie, mine's crazy. So this. And this happened right down the road here. But a door dash driver was going to the to Chick Fil a to pick up his order. He goes in, gets the order, and as he's walking back out to his car, a guy comes up to him with a gun, says, give me your car. I'm taking your car. And so he opens the door, the guy jumps in the car, and the door door dash driver has a gun as well. So there's a shootout.

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

So the carjacker shoots the door dash driver in the leg. Doordash driver gets his gun, shoots him. He dies.

[Megan Moroney]

Oh, my.

[Lunchbox]

It was crazy. It was at the Chick Fil a, right down the street from us on,

[Bobby Bones]

like, going to the hospital?

[Lunchbox]

No, going the other way.

[Bobby Bones]

Which one?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, the one like, going south.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what that means.

[Amy]

The one on.

[Bobby Bones]

It's closer to us on eight.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Megan Moroney]

Oh, wow.

[Morgan]

That's the one.

[Bobby Bones]

We got that one.

[Lunchbox]

That one. Dude, no.

[Amy]

No other way.

[Lunchbox]

And then I say, yeah, it's eighth. It's a eighth. Oh, it's on F. It turns into F. Yeah, it turns into F. Wow, that's crazy. But what's crazy is that I'm thinking, like, when I first saw it, I'm like, doordash driver. Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

This.

[Lunchbox]

This guy might have been one of Bobby's doordash drivers.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. Yeah.

[Amy]

So, but the. The carjacker is the one that died.

[Lunchbox]

He's the one that died. But what's crazy is, like, I see a lot of stories about carjacking in this town. And like, I'm like, that's bizarre that, like, carjackings happen. And the fact that a door dash, doordash driver was packing and the fact that he shot a carjacker, like, all that's crazy to me. That all that is happening, like, around us.

[Bobby Bones]

He's lucky he didn't get shot in a part of the body that would kill him.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, in the leg. So he was still able to shoot.

[Bobby Bones]

So I guess it was a struggle.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, cuz it was struggle trying to get in the car. He's like, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

Y old?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. If you I think of being a carjacker. Right. That's my mind goes, like, how would I know who to target? While being a carjacker, I would probably target an extremely mid car.

[Lunchbox]

Meaning the kind of car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna go steal something that probably has some sort of tracking in it. Like, if it's a Mercedes or Lexus or Porsche or any of that, I would expect that if I stole it, if I did get away with it and I got in, drove off, they'd be able to track that down pretty quick. And I wouldn't be able to turn that into either selling the car or getting to where I needed to go. If it's far or parts, it's gonna get tracked. So I'd probably. And I don't want, like an old beater.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Junker getting anything for it. So you gotta, like, target the most mid car, period. See, there's still some value there. And you're probably not gonna get tracked.

[Lunchbox]

But what do you think the reason a carjacking is mostly for? I don't think, like, if you wanted parts or just a car, you would just steal a parked car. But to go up to someone and be like, give me your car, is a whole different deal. I feel like you need. That's like urgency. I need a car now.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, you think it's to get somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Because if they wanted, say, a Mercedes, you would just see one parked at the mall and break.

[Bobby Bones]

The keys aren't in it. If you don't know how to actually, you know, wire or get a car started without a key, the thing about with somebody in it is, you know, they have the keys with them.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good point. And I wonder if, like, technology has changed because, like, back in the day, it was like hot wire. Right. Real easy. And I wonder now with.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it easy? I just saw it on tv.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know, Little wires together.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know. I just see that on tv. I never had to do that. That's wild. That happened.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

At our Chick Fil A. I know.

[Lunchbox]

Right down the road.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I never got in my car.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

That's. Damn.

[Amy]

That's why you don't get out of your car.

[Bobby Bones]

I never get out of my car.

[Lunchbox]

Smart.

[Bobby Bones]

This person got out of the car. Right. Was one of those where you go walk and pick it up.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So it wasn't a carjacking. While in the car, he got out and the guy tried to rob him. And then he's gonna take his car to the guy.

[Lunchbox]

The carjacker waited for him to Try to get back into his car and as soon as he got the door open.

[Bobby Bones]

That's wild. That's scary. Morgan, what do you have?

[Morgan]

Okay, so there was this bride over in Britain, and she was about to walk down the aisle, she was moments away from the door opening, and somebody shows up and throws black paint all over her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Who do you think did it? Like what, what would be your initial response?

[Bobby Bones]

I removed myself from this because, you

[Amy]

know, I don't know. PETA.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, PETA. Or an accident. Yeah, Two great guesses. Both wrong.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Not right. So it was her sister in law. So apparently there's been a feud over the course of several years and they were even banned. The sister in law and the brother were banned from coming to the wedding. They still came anyway. And the sister in law showed up through the black paint. Said it was because the sister was jealous that her brother had proposed like five months into her versus she that had waited 20 years to get proposed to. But yeah, she, she went to jail for it too.

[Bobby Bones]

It was so outrageous. I thought it was promotion for something.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So when I first saw it, I didn't believe it actually was what it was. I thought it was promotion for maybe a movie, a TV show, video game, who knows, Wrestlemania? But it was. It turns out it was real.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

People are wild, man. That's crazy. In the carjacking, you just go to somebody's wedding and throw paint on them.

[Megan Moroney]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazier than the carjacking.

[Morgan]

Well, and that poor bride, I mean, all she did was get ready to like, she thinks it's the best day life. And now it's the worst day of her life. You know, everything changed. There's the picture of her. She's is so bad.

[Amy]

Oh my.

[Bobby Bones]

It does look like PETA though. When you'd wear a fur coat back in the 80s. They throw a bucket of paint on you outside.

[Lunchbox]

That's quite the statement, huh? Black paint on a white dress.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you saw this whole thing, wouldn't you think that was some sort of promotion for something? We've been so conditioned to think that everything is not real. And I, I, yeah, that sucks for her. This is so dramatic. She's gotta be kind of crazy too. Only because it's so dramatic. And usually sanity doesn't meet really crazy. Usually sanity kind of overwhelms really crazy. I would think it's crazy on crazy crime. And I don't know what this woman did, but there had to be, if I'm just speculating there's got to be something. Hatfield and McCoy's like they're constantly going back and forth at each other.

[Morgan]

Well, enough to be banned too, from the wedding. I mean, that's your brother. You banned your brother from your wedding. Well, there's something going on.

[Bobby Bones]

This feels like crazy on. Crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I feel bad for her, but. And I don't know, but I would think that she had something to do with provoking this.

[Morgan]

Yeah. If I'm guessing she claims that she's really a kind person and she doesn't

[Bobby Bones]

know who doesn't who does like claim.

[Morgan]

But the woman served a 10 month prison sentence for doing it.

[Lunchbox]

Wait for this?

[Amy]

Yep.

[Morgan]

And she had to do 160 hours of community service.

[Bobby Bones]

10 months.

[Jeffrey]

That seems.

[Bobby Bones]

That seems dramatic. It does jail time because it feels.

[Lunchbox]

This feels like a personal issue, like, not like a civil problem.

[Amy]

Well, it's assault.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but with paint.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, with paint. At her wedding. Amy, that hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a paint can. If you get the crabby dab with a paint can, that's different. Yeah. It's a wild story. Let's go over to our Washington D.C. bureau. Amy.

[Amy]

Yeah. So this is not out of D.C. this is out of Hollywood, but technically London, because it's an interview that Lisa Kudrow did with the Times of London and she was talking about the off camera environment at friends. At friends, especially in the writers room and how mean they were. There was like 12 to 13 writers, mostly men. And they would remind them before they would go out because they would do the show in front of a live audience. 400 people. I thought that was high.

[Lunchbox]

That is a lot of people.

[Amy]

I thought the live audience probably like maybe like a hundred. That's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I guess I didn't have a number on my head, but yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know. The studios just always seem small, smaller.

[Bobby Bones]

I've never been to a taping of a TV show, so I don't.

[Amy]

Well, we went when you were on Regis and Kelly and we sat in the audience and it seems so small.

[Lunchbox]

How many were there, do you think?

[Bobby Bones]

150 probably.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Probably different daytime talk show. I don't know.

[Amy]

And then when we were on Family Feud, we saw the audience and seemed small.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably 250 or I'm literally just throwing numbers out. But that was a 400. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Megan Moroney]

So a lot.

[Amy]

So anyways, they would say things like, you know, you better if you don't get your line right. They would like, they'd laugh like that. No, but they I can't say.

[Bobby Bones]

Get your line right.

[Amy]

I can't say what they would say.

[Lunchbox]

What would they say?

[Amy]

Like, because it's bad words.

[Lunchbox]

Paraphrase it.

[Amy]

Paraphrase. Or, or can the b effing read. She's not even trying. She effed up my line. Stuff like that. But that was not even the most jaw dropping part of the interview. It was that the men in the writers room would out loud talk about their sexual fantasies of Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox.

[Lunchbox]

That's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

So the two things we won. Very inappropriate. But two, Lisa Kudrow had to hear this and she wasn't involved. It was like you'd be a little offended even though it's completely wrong and you can't do that. But it's like you're listening to all the dudes talk about their fantasies with other women. You don't even get mentioned.

[Lunchbox]

She's the only one not being mentioned.

[Amy]

She said they would allegedly stay up late discussing sexual fantasies involving her co stars Jennifer and Court, Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox.

[Bobby Bones]

So maybe if like Courtney Cox was there though, she'd be like, all they talk about is Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston. Maybe.

[Amy]

Well, I think it was maybe probably known amongst everybody that they were doing it. But there was a. Back in 2004, there was a former writer's assistant, Amani Lyle. She sued Warner Brothers over alleged sexual and racial harassment after claiming she witnessed inappropriate conduct in the writer's room. The case eventually reached the California Supreme Court which ruled against her. It turns out she was probably. I mean, I don't know, her stuff seemed valid and now Lisa Kudrow is talking about it. So it's just like, oh, I wonder

[Bobby Bones]

if their defense is. It's a bit. There's a lot of stuff on our show. If we did it in a normal office, in a workplace we couldn't do, we're like, no, it's a bit.

[Amy]

Oh yeah. Like some of our stuff, we would go to normal hr.

[Lunchbox]

I would easily go to HR with the low T comments.

[Eddie]

Absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

That is very inappropriate. I hate that anybody had to.

[Amy]

Oh yeah, for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Be, you know, part of that. Exposed to that, suffer through that. I wonder if their defense was though. And I'm not even saying their defense was right, but through the court system was, you know, we're rioters, we're throwing ideas out. Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Like there was fantasies about Jennifer.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good point. Because that's what they're writing about kinda. Well, yeah. I mean, if Joey and Chandler were talking about something like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I wonder if that's their defense.

[Amy]

Maybe that's what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

There's times listeners will hit us up like, you can't talk to someone like that you work with. And like, honestly, we do and can because it's all in. It's entertainment. Like, it's a bit. Sometimes they go over the line. Yeah, but it's all there is. You kind of submit yourself to the room in that. Everything in here, definitely not fictional, but it is for entertainment purposes only. It can get elevated and then sometimes you can elevate it for entertainment and actually becomes real. Then you get upset. That happens.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah, that's what's up.

[Lunchbox]

I did say that they said that

[Bobby Bones]

it was a creative necessary.

[Amy]

Yeah, I figured that was their defense.

[Bobby Bones]

Writing an adult oriented comedy. Yeah, it's gonna be mine.

[Amy]

But it was. I don't know. I see Friends as like a family,

[Bobby Bones]

but they have sex and stuff on there. We were on a break.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I can't watch that with my kids.

[Amy]

What? My kids love friends.

[BetterHelp Announcer]

The little.

[Lunchbox]

The little ones. No.

[Amy]

Okay, but they're not probably gonna be interested. But like, my daughter watched all of Friends like when she was a teenager.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but there is a lot of sex talk.

[Bobby Bones]

But.

[Amy]

Yeah, but. Okay, so they needed to have sex

[Bobby Bones]

talk in the room as writers.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So they could be inspired, go over the line to walk back.

[Amy]

But like, Eddie, when you were a kid, did you watch 90210?

[Lunchbox]

No, I never watched that one.

[Amy]

Okay, all right.

[Lunchbox]

As a kid. Oh, the one that did work was Three's Company. I'd watch that when I was a

[Bobby Bones]

kid, but you wouldn't get the joke.

[Lunchbox]

That's all about sex. And I didn't. I had no idea.

[Megan Moroney]

It is all about sex. I would watch that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's very much about sex. Although, again, innuendos. But he on the show is living with them and he's able to. Because he acts like he's gay. Correct.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So the landlord thinks he's gay. So every time the landlord's around, he has to act like he's gay.

[Bobby Bones]

But then when the landlord's gone. Mr. Furley or who? Mr. Roper or Mr. Roper. They. He. It's very much Jack Tripper doing sex jokes and like.

[Lunchbox]

And his friend Larry.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and Larry. And they're all.

[Megan Moroney]

Yeah, got in.

[Amy]

Well, anyway, Friends had the toxic work environment.

[Bobby Bones]

Dextero has the story. California vineyard tycoon Ernie Dosio was trampled to death while hunting elephants.

[Amy]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

He was on A safari. And he and his. Yeah, he got trampled by five elephants.

[Amy]

Oh, no. Was he hunting elephants, though?

[Lunchbox]

He was hunting elephants.

[Bobby Bones]

Safari, yes.

[Debbie]

No.

[Amy]

But you can hunt other things, right?

[Bobby Bones]

But it says, karma gets big game. Trophy hunter when he gets trampled by five elephants. These bugs flying around, I don't know why they're so bad. Today I had like three at my desk, and before lunchbox left, I heard them talking about bugs.

[Amy]

Yeah, the gnats. They're gnats.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up with the gnats? Why do we have them?

[Amy]

I don't know. They're. They're everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

But they happened in our other building, too.

[Amy]

Well, they. They happen in people's homes.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm saying, why are they happening here? Because there's.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

There's nothing in here. We don't. People's homes have refrigerators with food and hot and cold and wet things.

[Lunchbox]

There's nothing.

[Amy]

Bananas. Sometimes they come from bananas.

[Bobby Bones]

They shouldn't. I had a banana today, but it leaves the room when I leave the room.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's. That's one thing. Do you throw your peel outside the room? Because I do. I throw it in the kitchen.

[Bobby Bones]

I put my peel in the trash. But then the trash can get taken out every day. But I only. I've only had one banana in the past two months here, so it can't be from that.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if our trash gets taken out every day.

[Amy]

Well, we have a thing plugged in right outside. Why don't we bring that in here?

[Bobby Bones]

Because our trash should get taken out every day.

[Lunchbox]

What is that thing?

[Amy]

I took your trash out one day. Nobody noticed. I did it.

[Lunchbox]

Think about. Think about being a cleaning person. Nobody notices, but you get paid.

[Amy]

That's. I know. That's such a good point. It's like such a thankless job.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Aren't all jobs thankless? Except you're getting thanked by being paid?

[Lunchbox]

Now I feel like doctors get thanked.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, those are very.

[Amy]

I feel like we need to be mindful of custodial. I completely agree.

[Bobby Bones]

Expressing there is. When you get paid for any job, that's the thank you.

[Lunchbox]

Garbage men do Garbage people do not get thanked ever.

[Bobby Bones]

They get paid relatively well, depending.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That's why they ask for tips now, too.

[Lunchbox]

I know. What is it? So what is that thing outside?

[Amy]

So that's a little light that attracts the gnats, and then it goes in there, thinking it's gonna. And then it gets stuck to the sticky tape.

[Lunchbox]

It's not working, but.

[Amy]

But it's out there in the hole.

[Bobby Bones]

We need to hang one of them big rubber wiener looking things that flies get stuck to.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, the sticky one.

[Bobby Bones]

I used to when we camp.

[Lunchbox]

Did you guys ever have the zapper ones? Those are crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen the zapper ones I never had.

[Amy]

We had it in our backyard.

[Lunchbox]

And they would if it goes another one.

[Bobby Bones]

I got a few things here on the list. Yeah, man, we got to do. We got to get rid of these bugs.

[Morgan]

I did get an email from the building that they're working on it. They have.

[Bobby Bones]

The whole building has the issue with it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it all for my one banana over the last two months?

[Lunchbox]

Could it be all of our banana?

[Amy]

I see Eddie eating bananas. I didn't know you had an abandoned

[Bobby Bones]

one banana in two months, and all of a sudden I'm the bug guy.

[Lunchbox]

No one called you the bug.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm still triggered of the softball. Still.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, let it go. Just go to the game.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I'm gonna go to Morgan some dms. Yeah, she has a couple DMS that she wants to update us with.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, show updates.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let me know whenever you're ready for that.

[Morgan]

Okay. So you went to Wichita for a comedically inspirational tour show, and you brought people on stage. Do you remember this?

[Bobby Bones]

I probably would. I did it every show.

[Morgan]

Okay, so at this particular one, you had brought up a couple. They were young, and you had asked when the guy was going to propose. They had been dating for a long time. You brought up their mom as well. It's kind of a whole family affair.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just gonna go with.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we're just going with it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it just. I just did. I would do that bit a lot, but. Okay, go ahead.

[Morgan]

Well, we got a message from the mom, and she wanted to happily report that Skylar had finally proposed to Maddie.

[Bobby Bones]

I was worried about those two. I'm glad they made it. I think about them a lot.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they did it.

[Amy]

They made it.

[Morgan]

And really, they wanted you to be the officiant of their wedding, but I don't know that that's something you want to do.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll probably. I'll probably just send a gift. So if they're listening, just send the link that's nice. To your registry.

[Morgan]

Love that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd be happy to. What else you got?

[Morgan]

And then so we had Jessica Gillard on. She was looking for a kidney when Eddie was talking about donating a kidney.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean which time? A bunch of times.

[Morgan]

A bunch of times. She had called in and was talking about the fact that she needs A kidney right now? Well, her sister wrote us and said that she is currently on dialysis. So things are.

[Lunchbox]

That's not good, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's not good. I thought you were saying she got a kidney.

[Morgan]

No. So dialysis. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You're saying that in such a positive way. I thought it was gonna be.

[Morgan]

Well, I think dialysis is at least good in the right direction. You're at least, like, getting treatment, or

[Bobby Bones]

has it gotten so bad that she needs treat? I don't think I have an understanding of what they're actually saying here.

[Morgan]

I think she just wanted positive thoughts for her sister, given that she came on and now she started dialysis is what the.

[Bobby Bones]

So she does not have. She still doesn't have a match or possibly a donor.

[Morgan]

I don't think she has a kidney.

[Amy]

Dang, Daddy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's enough. That's a sad update.

[Amy]

Can you donate kidneys with low teeth?

[Lunchbox]

Is this going to be the thing? We're going to keep doing this?

[Bobby Bones]

Women can.

[Amy]

True.

[Lunchbox]

Well, can a woman get a man kidney?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great question. You're asking the wrong person.

[Amy]

I think so. I don't think it matters the sex, because it can go child, adult.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't think kidneys have wieners and vaginas. Yes, they can.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you, Mike. Not wieners or vaginas, but, like, size.

[Amy]

You know, I don't know if. I just didn't know if it'd be

[Bobby Bones]

healthy for Eddie with this extremely low testosterone. Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry to hear that. Now, we're not joking about that. I thought how you were saying it, it was going to be good news.

[Lunchbox]

I thought the sister was gonna say, like, I donated the kidney.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, all right.

[Morgan]

She just wanted to share an update since she had come on the show and talked about it. Do you want a fun one?

[Bobby Bones]

That'll be nice. We're dragging right now.

[Morgan]

So there was a listener, Andrew, who messaged us, and he had put something in his calendar 10 years ago when you mentioned it on the show and you said by April 28, 2026, that movies will be dead.

[Bobby Bones]

They are. They're dead.

[Lunchbox]

No, they're not.

[Bobby Bones]

They are. I'm seeing where they're charging $50 to go to Zoom Doom. Dune 3. Dune 3, IMAX. They can't get people to go to movies anymore unless they add so many other things to it. No, IMAX. 70 millimeter.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's different. That was like Oppenheimer.

[Bobby Bones]

But here's the thing. When I said movies Are dead. That doesn't mean they're not gonna show movies in theaters. But you just go to the movie and sit there and watch. No, you. Every movie theater now has fancy seats or food or like the version of the movie theater then is dead and they're struggling to sell tickets in general. I stand by it. I stand by that. I was correct. Why do you think they're releasing so many to streaming now?

[Lunchbox]

Micros all the time though. Like, is it dead? Like dead as in like, is nobody there?

[Bobby Bones]

No, last time we went, it was 30 minutes just to get popcorn.

[Amy]

Oh my. Long time.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh my. Yeah, I really shocked you there, huh? That is a long time. You know, on second thought, oh my. That is a long time. I can't. I might show the camera, but like our, our baby smiles now, like socially. Have you seen this?

[Amy]

That's cute.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, she would smile with like muscles just randomly.

[Lunchbox]

That's what my wife was saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Now she'll actually smile, which for the first time. So my wife will just send me pictures one after the other, just like a smiling baby. Which is crazy.

[Lunchbox]

She wouldn't make eye contact with me yesterday I saw the baby and I was like, she wouldn't look at me. And then, and then my. I told my wife, she's like, oh, she looked at me and smiled all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, okay, why do you think that is?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. Just like, who is this dude? Get this guy out of my house.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie said, a listener, and this is in real life, stopped him and said, hey, we should stop talking about those scientists.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Where were you?

[Lunchbox]

Baseball game. One of my kids baseball games. And said, hey, I listen to the show and I love you guys, love listening. I was like. And she goes, how crazy is all that stuff you guys been talking about about those scientists missing? And I'm like, yeah, it's pretty crazy. She's like, if I were you guys, I would stop talking about that because you guys will go missing next. And I told, I told him, like, realize that when you're listening to them talk about it, who's not talking about it? I never talk about it. I stay quiet during that segment.

[Bobby Bones]

There are so many people talking about it. If we're the ones that get abducted or killed because we're talking about it, the odds in that are fractional.

[Lunchbox]

Don't you think those scientists thought that too? They're like.

[Bobby Bones]

But they actually were working on it. The two theories as to why. Because there was another one. Now they're just finding people that have, have like, somewhat connective tissue to NASA. But there are more scientists that have died. But honestly, too, sometimes scientists get old and die. But it's the ones that, like, walk out of their house with no keys, phone or wallet. Right. I think now they're trying to water it down with giving us a bunch of other stories. So we start to go, okay, this is all just random. But that's one way is to, like, influx, like super influx of information that isn't right to prove what is right.

[Jeffrey]

Wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

For example, there was a UFO story we're talking about. And I was like, so then they started releasing all these, like, absolute fake images of UFOs. So then people would probably see the fake one and be like, that wasn't real. So they're releasing all these stories now about, oh, people that obviously aren't the same, but it's making people go, okay, this is not real. This person's not even connected to NASA, so the whole thing can't be real.

[Lunchbox]

What do you think about the Casey Musgraves things, like, she keeps, like, pushing it?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I think she saw it, we didn't see it.

[Lunchbox]

I think she responds to her comments. I mean, like, no, no, this is what I saw.

[Bobby Bones]

I think there's probably some stuff that is our government and some. That's not. But I think some of it is probably our government testing stuff, but I think some isn't. But the two theories are one, that these scientists knew that a meteor was going to hit Earth in the next few years and these people knew about it and these people were going to say something about it or they knew enough that they might say something and actually, you know, create societal collapse. Because if we know a meteor is going to hit somewhere on Earth and kill a bunch of people.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Ruin a country. We're going to freak out.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Why would we freak out and not just, like, live our best life?

[Bobby Bones]

I saw the cleaning lady walk by.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she's here. I text her to come in so I can get her a card.

[Amy]

No, our best life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's great. But if people, if you know, if you know, there's no. You don't go to prison for the rest of your life. You don't think you're going to be stabbing people?

[Amy]

Itching to stab.

[Bobby Bones]

I was just saying everybody's gonna go. Like, there's. We don't have. There's no social rules, so we can do whatever we want. Loot, loot, steal. Why do you think when, like,

[Eddie]

big

[Bobby Bones]

trial, big game, everybody goes crazy? They start burning stuff and stealing stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because for a minute that they're so excited the rules don't matter.

[Amy]

I know, but I don't, I just, I, I, I wouldn't, I don't behave that way. Like I'd probably just enjoy life.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think any of us would do that. But I mean, I understand what you're saying. I mean there are group. Obviously they do it when they Rio might jump in.

[Amy]

No, you would not.

[Lunchbox]

No, you wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll be honest with you. I might jump in.

[Amy]

You have a wife and a child.

[Bobby Bones]

I might jump in. If world's ending in a couple years, why would you adhere to the rules of law when law doesn't matter anymore? Yeah, but no one else is going to be living in order. So you going to have to do things to counter that.

[Lunchbox]

How much time do we have?

[Bobby Bones]

Two years.

[Lunchbox]

Love it. I'm buying a boat.

[Amy]

See you go live your best life.

[Bobby Bones]

Someone's going to boat jack you as soon as you're going out there in the ocean.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, pirates. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

Your kid stopped my AI movie a bus for the real movie.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. My oldest saw it. He obviously didn't. But he showed it to the little ones and they're just like what Dad's gonna be in a movie?

[Bobby Bones]

Like.

[Lunchbox]

And then, and then my 11 year old's like, that actually looks like a good movie that we're gonna be in a movie. I think it's so funny. And they thought everyone looked real. Except they're like, I don't like lunch.

[Bobby Bones]

Fox's character, Steve Buscemi.

[Lunchbox]

Steve Buscemi, Yeah. I don't like that actor.

[Bobby Bones]

I, where I get offended is when people will write in the comments, AI slop. It takes a long time to generate that crap. That was a slop. Is something you can write in 10 seconds and do a hundred of them and it's. You just fill the. No, no, no, no, no. That's hard. That's hard work. It's generating a lot of different things.

[Lunchbox]

Do you have to go down like even to the clothes that we're wearing?

[Bobby Bones]

You can prompt everything.

[Lunchbox]

Like I was wearing a Cowboys jersey mostly.

[Bobby Bones]

It'll pick stuff and you can go, I don't like that change. Do this.

[Lunchbox]

And then what's the time you have to wait for to see the result?

[Bobby Bones]

Not so much. You gotta buy tokens depending on the program. It's like a video game kinda. Yeah. And so I'll do it. And mostly I Can get it to be pretty good. And then I will get it over to Reed and go like this is what I got. Can you help me fix a couple

[Lunchbox]

things and then question about the tokens. They sell gift cards for tokens?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay, why? Who do you want to buy them for?

[Lunchbox]

I'm just. Just, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Gift cards for tokens?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like, like, you know, like AI generation. Yeah, like PlayStation gift cards. They have those at Target.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Roblox.

[Lunchbox]

Roblox?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think they have that at Target.

[Lunchbox]

That would be a good gift.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you have to know how to use the program.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. No, I'm just saying it'd be a good gift for me. Point. Some point.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh no, I know. I don't want that.

[Lunchbox]

You don't want token gift card?

[Debbie]

Nah.

[Bobby Bones]

I was going to do all of us as the. The friends opening at the fountain.

[Amy]

Yeah, that would be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Then I got bored. It wasn't coming out right. And then I got bored.

[Lunchbox]

How long, how long had you.

[Bobby Bones]

I never like sit on it and I'll just remember it and it takes forever to generate. Sometimes I've done generations where I'm generating it and then I forget. Like I'm like generating. If it's going to take seven, eight minutes, I'll just forget until the next. I'm like, oh God, I forgot to finish that. So that happens a lot. But I started a friend's one and it just was not. I couldn't get us to look like them.

[Lunchbox]

So is there a rule that you like when you post, like to put AI?

[Bobby Bones]

I never do.

[Lunchbox]

I know but like I feel like it needs to be a rule just because some stuff like I'm pretty good now. I can kind of tell like just the quality. I think Mike talked about how like the quality is just way better than anything else. So you realize, ah, that's AI. But I feel like a nice little.

[Bobby Bones]

This is AI.

[Lunchbox]

It's funny. Haha would be nice. Wouldn't you appreciate that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't care. I think everything's AI now. Any video I see at all until

[Lunchbox]

it's not, that's not good.

[Amy]

Well, but some stuff like depending on the source it's posting. Right. Don't you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, for the most part. But I'm flicking through TikToks. I think it's all if it's really compelling with an animal. Especially like I watched a cat jump in front of a bear and save a woman yesterday. Of course it's AI. I don't even look to see if it was AI. It was a ring cam and this bear was running up and this cat jumped up in front of the bear to stop it AI. Now if it wasn't, that sucks with that cat. If it was real.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly. If it wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

But I think it was AI.

[Lunchbox]

See, like I saw one of, you know, a wildlife guy releasing a bear and then the bear turned on him as soon as the gate opened. Like, and I'm just like, I don't know. But again, if that's real, poor dude. Like, that's scary. But if it's not, let's finish this.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy has a body hack stand on one leg while you brush your teeth. What is that supposed to do?

[Amy]

Yeah, well it's just supposed to challenge your brain first thing in the morning and create. It's like a longevity hack. So you know, have you heard the thing where you like brush your teeth with the other with the opposite?

[Bobby Bones]

Who just text you over there?

[Amy]

My ex husband.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh dang.

[Lunchbox]

What did he say?

[Bobby Bones]

He watching.

[Lunchbox]

He goes, you look good today.

[Bobby Bones]

He's like, yeah, I do a lot of the AI too.

[Amy]

Um, let me pull up. Exactly. So every time you brush your teeth. So every morning and every night, stand on one leg, alternate each morning and hold for as long as you can. When you can hold for 30 seconds without wavering, try doing it with your eyes closed. When you do this, your body is forced to coordinate with your inner ear, your vision and your nerve signaling and every deep stabilizer muscle in your body simultaneously. And this just helps lead to longevity. Like when you can coordinate, it's just working your brain in a different way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I've heard the brush your teeth

[Amy]

with the other hand and don't always drive the same way.

[Bobby Bones]

That's if you don't want to get robbed.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

No, but it's also just challenging yourself to not be in a roof and follow you home.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, yes, there is that reason, but you're exercising your brain in a different way when you're having to pay attention. That's just a little body hack. Like something you're brushing your teeth anyway, so why not trying it? I tried to do it in the shower the other day.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that sounds like a terrible idea. You fall, it's wet.

[Amy]

That's where I brush my teeth.

[Bobby Bones]

But I wouldn't do that on one foot with my eyes closed on a wet floor.

[Amy]

Uh huh. So when I'm, you know, I taught you about. Well you already knew, but I Ran through with y' all about opening up your limbs and. And the final spot to open is behind your knee. So when I'm. If I open my limps in the shower, I'm standing there with one leg up, and then I try to close my eyes and, like, pump my leg for 30 pumps. So that's 30 seconds. And some days I can do it, no problem. And then other days, I'm falling over like crazy, and I. It makes me so curious, like, what's going on different inside of my body to where I can't stand up.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a concussion waiting to happen. Her. What she's describing, It's a concussion or, like, a torn Achilles. Wet ground leg lift. It's hard to just stand on one foot with your eyes closed, period.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Why is that?

[Amy]

Can you do it?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably.

[Lunchbox]

That's right.

[Amy]

I mean, I know I can't do it depending on the day, because apparently some days I struggle, and I don't know what, you know, it's like, maybe just how good my sleep was or food or hormones.

[Bobby Bones]

Who knows? All right, that's it. Everybody good?

[Amy]

Okay, so no challenge.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we're good. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody good? All right, we will see you guys tomorrow. We'll see if. If Lunchbox is not here. Obviously, he got Jerry duty. I pray he gets Jerry duty just for the stories.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And the book.

[Bobby Bones]

He ain't writing a book.

[Lunchbox]

Let's be real.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I pray that he gets jury duty, because if he goes and he gets put on a jury, then he has to wear a suit. Right. He's in a T shirt.

[Lunchbox]

Do you. Do you have to wear a suit for it to be on jury duty?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you have to because they. Or you have to at least dress up. He was in a T shirt that said natural. When I did jury duty, I didn't just wear. I mean, I didn't dress up. It wasn't like I was going to a business meeting or prom, but I definitely looked presentable. I had a shirt. I tucked a shirt in, man.

[Lunchbox]

And I feel like he would love jury duty. Like, he would love to just hear everyone.

[Bobby Bones]

He would love to be foreman.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And, like, power of the jury.

[Lunchbox]

He would love that.

[Bobby Bones]

Love that. All right, we will see you guys tomorrow. You guys have a great day. Don't forget my Megan Maroney. Bobby cast is up. It's on Netflix if you want to watch it.

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Eddie]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.
