Morning studio. Morning, Bones. Bobby and show. Calling you after our wedding reception this over the weekend. We're sitting here and I said, I just really want to tell Bobby in the show about our wedding because you're like friends to us. We had a great day and we called when I was trying on my wedding dress. So just wanted to say hey, we're super grateful and we love y'all.

[Lunchbox]

We love you. Thank you, Bobby Benz. You have been a godsend to Julia. Love everything that you do.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Sending big hugs. We appreciate everything you do. Come on. Yeah. I say this, though, if we're such good friends, where's our invite? Oh, that's right. Maybe we wanted to come have a little dance or two. Maybe we want to come and have some cake.

[Amy Brown]

Cake.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And you notice when he yelled at, he said, hey, I just want to say thank you for Julia. Not for him. Not for him.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

You've been good for her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, we have been good for her. Hey, congratulations, guys. That is. That is really cool. Hey, I didn't want to talk for a second about something that's pretty easy that they say will help with panic attacks or high anxiety. Turns out therapists say using sour candy to ease anxiety symptoms actually is not a bad idea. There's a TikTok user explaining the reason that extremely sour candies actually gives your brain something else to focus on. Because all of a sudden it's like, oh, gotta focus on that. And so here's Tick Tocker lifeofzinc explaining why eating something extremely sour can help calm you if you get really anxious or have a panic attack. I wish I would have known. A warhead will stop an anxiety attack. A warhead will stop a panic attack. Warheads are amazing. This is how you actually cope and overcome a panic attack or an anxiety attack. Your cheeks start to hurt a little bit because it's so sour. Now it's in your saliva and spit. So it' around and hitting all the different taste buds in your mouth.

[Lunchbox]

And you're trying to swallow it down.

[Bobby Bones]

And you can feel it kind of burn coming down your throat because it's so sour. It's so overwhelming that your brain forgets.

[Lunchbox]

What it's having anxiety about.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been eating moreheads for the past couple days, seeing if it works.

[Amy Brown]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

These things are sour as crap.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you know what it makes me do? It burnt my tongue. Now I'm anxious about my tongue burning cuz I kept putting on the same spot and now those taste buds are burnt off my tongue.

[Amy Brown]

It'll do that.

[Bobby Bones]

But I have a green one. I hate to flavor apple, but it's up for the show here. But you go in. Oh, man. Feel better, man. My anxiety has gone away.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, is this scientific? I guess so.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like when someone says, does your knee hurt? You go, yeah. And they punch in the shoulder. I feel like that's what this is doing right here. Whoa.

[Amy Brown]

So which is something off in your brain?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So I'm not gonna be anxious while the sour goes away. The weird thing about these though is that once you suck all the sour off of it, then it's just the worst piece of candy ever.

[Amy Brown]

And then the anxiety comes back.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Then I'm anxious because I just spent money on a bag of candy. Okay, I got it all. But it's like gum where you chew the flavor out and if the flavor goes away quick, it's like terrible gum. But the warhead. If the anxiety goes away because of the sour, all good. But then it's. It's like a Jolly rancher with no jolly and nobody wants just a rancher. But if you eat something sour, maybe you do like 10 at once. That'll help you with anxiety.

[Amy Brown]

10 at once.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm telling you, I burnt a hole in my tongue during this last week. I've been, I've been living this, this experiment for a while. So don't take medical advice from us though. Never take it from life of zinc on tick tock.

[Lunchbox]

It's the anonymous in bo.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My 16 year old daughter has been asking for a belly button ring for years. My answer is always the same. No, not until you're 18. I don't think it's appropriate for high school girls. I think it gives the perception of sexy and sends the wrong message. I had one, but I was in my 20s and I know how it was perceived by guys. She says her friends have one and she doesn't understand what the big deal is. I'm not against her having one, just not at this age. What are your thoughts? Do you think guys see it as a certain message? Signed mom of a 16 year old going on 26. Emmy, you can go first.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, I don't know that guys see It a certain message. But I think that as a parent, I would say I'm not against it, and we're not going to do it at 16. Like, I think you just. That's. You don't need to explain any more than that. But I. Y'all are the guys. When y'all were younger, did y'all see that as sexy?

[Bobby Bones]

I'll agree with you first in that she lives in your house. You get to make the rules. It doesn't matter what our interpretation of the rules are. Like, you're the mom, and if that's the rule, that's the rule. So I think Amy and I both agree with you, and you've created your boundary. She has to live by it.

[Amy Brown]

I've had to do that with my daughter. She has wanted a nose ring for the last couple years, and we're like, well, Nope, when you're 18. And guess what? She's turning 18 next month. So I think we're gonna have to deal with that. So then I'm gonna be like, but you still live house.

[Bobby Bones]

I meant to say 19. Oh, yeah, yeah. Until you pay rent.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that guys look at it and go, she's got a belly button ring. She'll do stuff. I don't think that's the case. I think maybe in, like, 1989 or.

[Amy Brown]

Maybe that's the tongue ring.

[Bobby Bones]

1996.

[Morgan]

Yes, those are cool.

[Bobby Bones]

But even that ended up going away, too.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I. I just. I look at more as like, you're. You don't even know really what you want yet. And you're going to put this hole in your body that may change and look weird over time as your body evolves.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, fair. I would think that's a hole that doesn't really matter that much that can fill up.

[Amy Brown]

I think when you. I don't know. I never had one, but I know that my friend struggled with it when she got pregnant.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, do you have a belly button ring?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I still do. I got mine at 16.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you say to this, Mom?

[Eddie]

I mean, it's all my parents let me when I was 16. It didn't feel like a huge gap difference from 16 to 18.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you go work in a brothel immediately?

[Eddie]

I did not. I did not go work in a brothel. I don't feel like guys found me sexier because I had the belly button ring. I really did that for me. And because that was a thing that all of my friends were doing at the time. It was just to be participating with Everybody else kind of, in a way. And I still have it. I still like it. It's just chilling there.

[Bobby Bones]

So we stand with you on. You made the rule. It doesn't matter how we feel about the rule. It's not our house. You made the rule. Cool. But I do not think that guys see a belly button ring in 20, 25 and go, well, she got that pierced. I bet there's some other holes. You know what I mean?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. I'm trying to read about if it changes over.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, I don't.

[Amy Brown]

Pregnancy or what happens. Well, I'm just saying you can show pictures of, like, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

That doesn't work. You know that doesn't work.

[Amy Brown]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Show a picture of, like, an infected belly button. Okay.

[Amy Brown]

I love printing.

[Bobby Bones]

We stand with you, but I don't think that guys think what you think guys may think. I think times have changed. But you're the mom. You make the rules, Bones. All right, let's play the feud. We asked 2000 Bobby Bonechill listeners on social media, what's the first thing you'd buy if you won the lottery? Now, we're gonna roll the dice here to see who goes first. But what's the first thing you'd buy if you won the lottery? The number is what? Two lunchbox will go first.

[Bobby Bones]

He did home and vacation.

That's cool. That's it. Thank you. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. It is Luke Bryan. So many number one songs. He's back on American Idol. We talk about that in music and so much more. And we start with when he got the call for American Idol. Here we go. Okay. I want this story about the first time it was even an option or a conversation that you might be on American Idol.

[Raymundo]

So I'm at my beach house, my manager Carrie, she calls me and says we've been contacted about the reboot of American Idol. I mean, at that moment I was at the height of stadiums and I was like, man, I cannot go to like LA or New York and I'm not going to go up there and do this meeting that I don't want to do. Carrie calls me and she goes, hey, they want to come. They want to come to 30A and they want to, they'll fly to us. You know, two of the people, you know, an ABC person and a Fremantle person, I'll leave their names out, but they know I love them. They started pitching it and I told them I'm really probably not interested. And what's funny about those, the people that like, they have no idea. Luke Bryan. They don't know that I'm doing sold out stadiums and double amphitheaters and that I'm making enough money touring that I don't need, like give up money here to go spend more time doing this. I just needed to go throw shows up and go rock it. Either way, I went back and I, and I called, I started calling Blake and Keith Urban and I called Blake. He was like, luke, TV opens up another domain and dynamic. And I called Keith urban and Keith urban said, man, he had loved it. And. And after I.

[Bobby Bones]

When he did.

[Raymundo]

When he did idol once I got. I mean, those are two guys that I love and trust. And then I said, you know, I mean, we kind of threw them out a crazy number, and damn it, they paid it.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it weird that people knew how much money you made?

[Raymundo]

I don't understand how that info leaks.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I thought you say you don't know why people are. I'm like, I'm interested.

[Raymundo]

But, yeah, I get it.

[Bobby Bones]

Like somebody. Right.

[Raymundo]

Somebody knows somebody is leaking that info. Because I know it ain't. I know it ain't anybody on our side.

[Bobby Bones]

When I was an idol, those years, we go to dinner, everybody, and it's crazy who's going to win that room because it ain't me. And Katie was big and large now. And if you came in, Katie were like, it was your room. It was really cool to watch you come in. And you did not dominate the room on purpose. But you have such a magnetic personality. And it is quite large where I could see that people would. And that's partly what allowed you to rise was. Was. But then it got so big, people wouldn't see the other things that you could do, which is why idol was so great, because you would sit at a freaking piano and people would have their mind blown to watch you go and then just pour a straight vocal over keys and they're like, we didn't know we could do that. Now you've been doing it the whole time.

[Raymundo]

Thank you for saying all that. And I think it's just every artist that. That. That makes the leap from throwing out some radio hits, they gotta have something that's like. Takes them to that kind of like, I didn't never know. I'd be like. What's termed as a superstar. I mean, every time somebody introduces me as Luke, country music superstar Luke Bryan, like, it still freaks me out. Like, it's. I'm still like, how in the hell did I pull that title off? I think it was personality and my willingness on stage to just go for whatever to dance and cut up and be. And I think that was different enough to set me apart.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the most impactful song you put out?

[Raymundo]

I think the most important song I ever. I ever obviously ever did was country girl shake it for me. When I look at the most, maybe, you know, when I look at a drink of beer or most people are good. Those were my opportunities at songs that I thought would be up for song of the years. And I never, never got a song of the year, which that's when I was kind of like, man, you know, I really thought those would at least get nominated for something. And they never did. And then I was like, you know, at this point in my career, I just need to be free with what I do. I mean, when I look at one margarita and what that does for my career, man, it is fun in the room. It is fun in the summertime with 20,000 people, you don't get no more fun than performing one margarita.

[Bobby Bones]

Lukebriant.com all the tickets, Idol back. We talked about that. All right, buddy. I love you. Thanks.

[Raymundo]

I love you.

I'm just sitting here listening to the podcast. You guys are talking about your Reba songs, and you're talking about Cowboys Don't Cry.

[Raymundo]

I'm just thinking, what do you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Think is the saddest country song?

[Raymundo]

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I think it will always be Brett Bezos, Whiskey Lullaby. That song gets me every time.

[Bobby Bones]

I just get lost in the lyrics listening to it. Anyway, I love the show, guys. I think that's one of my favorite country songs ever. Bottle gets it, Pull the trigger. The saddest country song I do still stand by in my top three. And Cowgirls Don't Cry when Reba comes on and sings that. Right, baby? Right. Oh, that makes me emotional. He stopped loving her today. And I think people go to that as one of the greatest country songs, period, of all time. But he stopped Loving Her Today is the ultimate sad song, because that's a guy who never stopped loving his wife, period, except for when he died. Like, that's why he stopped loving her today. He stopped loving her today. But that's because he died.

[Morgan]

He couldn't love her anymore, right?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. Yes.

[Amy Brown]

He's dead, Steve.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you don't have to keep saying he's dead over and over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he died because he's dead.

[Morgan]

He's no longer with us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, but that's not the point. The point is he loved her so hard. He was. Yeah, he's dead. Okay, the dance is sad. Like, in our generation became nobody died. But it's like, you don't want to have to have this dance, and it's the last thing you're gonna get to do with the person. And it's over after this. And you could have not had this pain, but you'd had to miss the dance.

[Morgan]

But I remember the music videos.

[Bobby Bones]

All dead people. Like, jfk, we gotta stop dead. We gotta stop dead.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wait, they didn't just break up.

[Bobby Bones]

But That's a bit about what it is about in my mind, because again, we have all these different versions. It's like, this is the last time we get to do this. And I could have not done this again, but I didn't want to miss having this dance. Like, I could have missed the pain, but I had to miss. No, no, no. The dance.

[Morgan]

He does go longer than the last one.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can. You can do a bit of interpretation because it could be like a. A life thing. Right.

[Morgan]

That's what I.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is why in the video, they do show, like, John F. Kennedy, Lane Frost. Like, you wouldn't have had Martin Luther King's in the video. Yes. You wouldn't have had the experiences with these wonderful. Whatever it is, person, life experiences. But you'd still do it again. But it hurts that it's over. But me, it was just like a guy dancing with his girl for the last time. But I was also like, 11. Don't take the girl. That's sad because. Well, that's the one that I thought I was like, yeah, country music man. To tell stories. That's great. I was a kid. Listen, I kiss in 96. And I was like, well, I'm in. And then you wonder, does she die at the end? Because it's not really left there in the video. He's just on his knee crying.

[Morgan]

Didn't we ask Tim this?

[Bobby Bones]

We.

[Morgan]

We asked him if.

[Bobby Bones]

If she. Tim McGraw didn't write the song, though. Right.

[Morgan]

But we asked to think or no, did we ask maybe the writer?

[Bobby Bones]

We. We. So we asked Tim, but we also had the writer. A clip of the writer. Yeah. And I believe she died according to the writer, but it's not in the song. You should be here. Cole Swindell comes up on my list of, like, newest one. Because it's really about his. It's about his dad. But it's also like all these things in life are happening, but not with the person that you loved being here. Go rest high on the mountain. Vince Gill, which is just like. Like that one just. Just cuts my guts out because I just had it played at funerals of people that I love. And that's like a tribute to a lost one. One that people loved. I mean, still love. But when it came out, I think maybe the one song of the year was I drive your truck. Lee Bryce, because it's a military person, dies and he's dead. Yep. And so his dad's driving the truck, remembering it. Maybe dad or mom. I don't know which one it was. But. But there's that one every lot. The music's on, so it's hard for me to sing it, but. Trace Atkins. Every light in the house, which a guy's waiting for, like, her to return, but she never does. Like, nobody died there.

[Lunchbox]

She just left him. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Every light in the house is on. I sound like Trace when I do that Neon moon. People think that's a love song. Is that sad if you think about it? No, not if you think. If you listen to the words. You're sitting at an empty bar underneath a neon moon. You're drowning in sorrow. I spend almost every night beneath the light of neon moon.

[Morgan]

Why is he in there?

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Morgan]

Why? Why is he in the bar?

[Bobby Bones]

All.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Because you go to the bar when you're sad.

[Amy Brown]

Because he lost his one and only.

[Morgan]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, then you lose your one and only. Yeah, but there's always room here for the lonely.

[Amy Brown]

He's there because all are welcome. Lonely.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd also put it guys, like, where would you in the world stop turning Alan Jackson. About 9 11. Yeah, that was one. I go on forever. Concord Angel Martina McBride, which is, you know, kid facing tragedy. So. Yeah, well, that's brought us all down, but.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Morgan]

Well, he did ask sad songs, but great, great songs.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to play any of them? We do the dance into the dance.

[Morgan]

Let's do the dance, man.

[Bobby Bones]

And if heaven wasn't so far away from Justin Moore was good. Like, one more visit with those who died.

[Morgan]

Was it Grandma's recipe? That's sad, too, right? Grandma's recipe green bean casserole.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not singing the right melody, though.

[Morgan]

So you know what I'm talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

It's time for the good news with.

[Amy Brown]

Producer Eddie.

[Morgan]

Zane Davis. He's 10 years old, lives in Alabama, and he wakes up in the middle of the night and the house is in flames. He's like, oh, my gosh, I gotta get out of here. He goes through the smoke, finds his way out. He gets out of the house. He's got 11 relatives that live in that house. Everyone is outside except his little sister. He's like, no, no, I gotta go back in. His family members are. Don't do it, Zane. No. He runs in, goes to the smoke, finds her in the hallway, grabs her and takes her out, and she is safe. Everyone in the house survived, and thanks to Zane. And he said, everyone says he's the hero, but Zane, he says, you know what?

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I'm the hero.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, of course. He's a kid. He needs to say that. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I am. Yeah. I mean, if you're an adult, I got no problem with you saying it either. But if you're a kid, heck yeah. Get your toys and your ice cream, and if you're grounded, you're not grounded anymore. All of that. Ah, great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. Let's go over to Amy with the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

[Amy Brown]

What do rich people say when they tickle their baby?

[Bobby Bones]

What do rich people say when they tickle their baby? Gucci. Gucci. That was the morning Corny. That Pretty good.

[Morgan]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a pretty good one. Tuesday reviews day. I will go first. I finished paradise, which was on Hulu, but you watch the preview, it's like the guy from this is Us and the president's been killed, and he's trying to figure out, and they're like, did you do it? And that's all you know going into it, and that's all I'm gonna say about the plot of it. But finished all eight episodes. Who else finished it? I did. Four of us.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

It's awesome. It was awesome. So I'm gonna go four and a half out of five airplanes. I can't give anything a five unless every element of it is perfect. And I hate shows that are week to week. Yeah. It's just not gonna get. It's never gonna get a five for me if it's week to week and I have to wait. If I discover it later and can watch it at once. I hate waiting for a show, but it was awesome. So as hard of a four and a half airplanes out of five as I could give it. I give it Amy.

[Amy Brown]

I give it four. I'm with you. I loved it, too. I just. I give it a four. And I don't really know what to say because I don't want to give anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. Good for you.

[Lunchbox]

Good job.

[Amy Brown]

Four out of five. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And do you anyone to say anything else? Good.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's a five out of five for me. I am obsessed with this show. I can't stop talking about it. It just makes me feel so many emotions. That's all I will say. I'm going to give it five out of five CDs.

[Bobby Bones]

It's on Hulu again. It's called Paradise. Mike. Four and a half out of five presidents. I think it has one of the single best episodes of a TV show in the last five years, which One I want to say. Why are you asking for spoilers now?

[Amy Brown]

I'm curious what you're trying to say.

[Bobby Bones]

She's trying to get you on her team, Mike. Did you watch the Robert Pattinson movie? Yeah, Mickey 17. Is that a real thing? Is it based on true story? No, it's based on a book. What is it? It's about human printing. So he's a guy down on his luck. In order to get out of debt, he goes to, like, a new space colony. Takes place in, like, 2054. Oh, yeah. Definitely not real then. Okay, got it. Yeah, it's awesome. And he. Every time he dies, they reprint him with all of his memories. Oh, cool. Yeah. So it's the guy who did Parasite. So it's very sci fi. Like, right up my alley. My wife wanted to watch that, but she said it's the guy that did Parasite. And I was like, I can't do a South Korean thing right now. But it's not. No, it's in English. He does. Oh, I'm in. Let's go. Yeah, he'll do movies in Korean and movies in English. This one's all English. Okay, review it first. What do you got? I give it four out of five space suits. I think you kind of have to be into sci fi because it goes kind of way into, like, more of like a Star wars wars kind of world. Streaming in theater only. I'm out. And the Bob Dylan movie? Still not out streaming. You can rent it. I think it's still, like, 20 bucks.

[Raymundo]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm in. $20. You can rent it at home now. You're gonna go to the theater and spend more than that?

[Morgan]

Yeah, no, I'll wait until it's like a part of streaming.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah, man. Anybody else? Tuesday reviews day.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Watch something.

[Bobby Bones]

What you watch, Morgan?

[Eddie]

I. I watched Prime Target on Apple tv.

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen the preview. Is it good?

[Eddie]

Yes. It's all about this conspiracy theory around prime numbers. And the guy's a mathematician. I loved it more than I thought I would. It really made me use my brain. That's the only moment you can. You can't really, like, turn yourself off, but I'd give it four out of five ancient things.

[Morgan]

What's a prime number?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want to explain it to him?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's. Isn't it the zero. It starts with zero. I told you I'd use my brain a lot for the show, but I know it starts with zero.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think of prime numbers? This is a good learning lesson for the whole show.

[Morgan]

I have this calculus.

[Bobby Bones]

I have no idea what. That doesn't mean you can't know what a prime number is.

[Morgan]

Starts with zero.

[Bobby Bones]

From what I just learned, it's a number that cannot be divided by any other number, so. Other than itself, obviously. So 2, 3, 7, 17. Are those all right? Prime numbers? Yeah. I don't know. Okay. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

The Bear, season three. People have been bashing it, saying how terrible it was, and I thought it was really interesting because it did a lot of character development. They spent, like, one episode each on each character, so you really get to know them. So I thought it was pretty interesting. I give it three and a half out of five restaurants.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, thank you, everybody. Nothing else?

[Morgan]

No, I'm not done. Not done with mine. I'm in the middle of two shows.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what's more impressive? I'll give you two things. Number one, holding your breath for 24 minutes or standing on one foot for.

[Amy Brown]

76 hours holding your breath for 24 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have said that, too, because the current world record holding one's breath underwater is 24 minutes and 3 seconds achieved by Buddha Mir Sobot in 2021. Because I would have said the same thing. Holding your breath for 24 minutes. Actually, no one has stood on one foot for 76 hours. So that is a record that has not been done.

[Amy Brown]

What's the longest they've done it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Amy Brown]

Well, because no one's tried.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. People have tried all kinds of crap. Yeah.

[Morgan]

There's people that held their breath. Did they die at all?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't think that's part of it. I don't think.

[Amy Brown]

I know. I'm worried about them.

[Bobby Bones]

No. It says the current world record for holding one's breath underwater, which is called static apnea, is 24 minutes, 3.5 seconds. The record for the longest amount standing on one leg blindfolded, which is. Which totally rips your balance, by the way. Stood for two hours and 21 minutes.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, well, then I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

But this one's not blind. Anyway, I just wanted to see what you thought. The next one. What's more impressive? Growing the longest fingernails ever, which were over 30ft long, and both of these are true. Or having the longest mustache ever, which is 14ft long.

[Amy Brown]

Growing the longest fingernails, because you have to use your hands all the time, and my nails break. I try to grow mine out, like, you know, a centimeter.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like those people that have really long, long, long fingernails, like, put, like, crazy gloves and stuff over their hands. To, like, protect it.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. I mean, but your mustache, what do you do? You just gotta let it grow.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but you gotta eat.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Comb it to the side. Pull it back.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at this girl with long fingernails. That does.

[Lunchbox]

God, so gross.

[Bobby Bones]

That is.

[Lunchbox]

God.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, because they curl.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. And then they don't curl it. It's like they curl and then they just give up and go straight. I guess I'll go with fingernails. I feel like mustache. You can at least almost, like, roll up or like, if it hangs down, or you can, like, braid it or something. Yeah, both of those are disgusting. This guy's mustache, he's like, hold it. So imagine this. You're holding the ends of your mustache by your head, but they're so long, they go that. That part that hangs. Goes all the way down to, like, your thighs.

[Morgan]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you walk? He's holding it up. Oh, man. Both of those are disgusting. Okay, next up, what's more impressive, Someone who can juggle chainsaws or someone who can swallow a sword? Both are true things people do.

[Amy Brown]

Juggling chainsaws.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go sword swallowing, but only because I can juggle pretty well. Couldn't juggle chainsaws. No way. But I can juggle pretty well, and I feel like that is a skill that you could do a lot before you actually turn the chainsaws on and get pretty good at it. You can't swallow a sword without it.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I guess. If you have a big throat, do you even feel the sword?

[Morgan]

Yeah, but how far down would you.

[Bobby Bones]

Say.

[Amy Brown]

If you have a big throat, do you feel the sword?

[Bobby Bones]

Ask for generations.

[Morgan]

No one can answer that question here, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Next up, a guy who hula hooped for 74 hours because he did the longest marathon hula hooping record is over 74 hours.

[Morgan]

It's a lot of moving.

[Amy Brown]

And so, like, they don't go. What do they do? Do they just pee, like, while they hula hoop or go. They go to the bathroom? Do they?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great question. I would imagine they get a little five minute break, but I don't know. And then pogo sticking for 115,000 in a row. Because that is real.

[Amy Brown]

115,000. Well, does it say how long that takes? Cause that would help me. Whale hula hooping, that's more impressive because.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S a time thing.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. And it's also hard to, like, keep that emotion. I feel like once you get bouncing, like, you're pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you do?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to. I Don't know. Have a little game on that, maybe.

[Amy Brown]

How many times did you do a hundred thousand?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's a lot. Okay. What's more impressive, both of these are true. A guy surviving 76 days lost at sea. Or a guy falling out of a plane with no parachute and living.

[Amy Brown]

A guy falling out of a plane with no parachute and living.

[Bobby Bones]

By the way, this guy's boat sank. He's. But he's.

[Morgan]

He's in the water.

[Bobby Bones]

He's not on a boat.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but he's. Did he have something to hold on to?

[Bobby Bones]

It says adrift, so he wasn't on a boat.

[Amy Brown]

Both sound terrible, but a lot of people have survived out at sea 76 days. 76 days. Yes, they have. And people don't.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know that.

[Amy Brown]

I've heard of stories and falling out of.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy just says stuff. Like on social media, it's like. No, no, I know this for a fact.

[Amy Brown]

Like, we've. We've watched movies. In red.

[Bobby Bones]

76, you're thinking of Castaway.

[Amy Brown]

How was. What about Unbroken from World War II? How long were they at sea?

[Lunchbox]

They were in a boat, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. 76 days. 1982. Stephen Callahan survived 76 days of drift in the Atlantic Ocean after his boat fully sank or falling out of a plane in 1972. Vesna Volvovik, a flight attendant, survived a fall from 33,000ft.

[Morgan]

33,000Ft.

[Amy Brown]

Like, that's sometimes how high you go.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not arguing with you. We just thought you minimized. 76 days at sea.

[Amy Brown]

This is a flight attendant, and this wasn't some person that's used to jumping.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you like peanuts?

[Morgan]

33,000Ft. That's really hard.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. That's crazy.

[Amy Brown]

What's happened?

[Bobby Bones]

I would imagine there was some landing, like in trees or some stuff.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, yeah. She had to break or fall somehow.

[Bobby Bones]

How?

[Amy Brown]

Or he.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't want to be sexist, Vesna. Probably a female. I agree with you. It's a falling out of the. Oh, it's a guy. No, it's a guy. You're right.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Vesna's a guy. We need to have a talk. But I felt like you were minimizing 76 days at sea with Matt.

[Amy Brown]

I know that's terrible, but you made me pick, so I had to make.

[Bobby Bones]

No, then you fought for.

[Amy Brown]

Sounded like I was minimizing it.

[Bobby Bones]

It is a girl.

[Morgan]

It's a girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Will you find out, Mike, how she did that crap?

[Amy Brown]

She.

[Bobby Bones]

Michael, come back to us in a second with the answer.

[Amy Brown]

Have that thing like a kid. How. You know, they don't easily break their bones.

[Lunchbox]

They're flexible.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, she had to land. She had to like land in a couple things. She landed in a pillow factory that was having their roof taken off. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Or did she. Could she land in the ocean?

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to this. Air safety investigators attributed the survival to her being trapped by a food trolley in the fuselage as it broke away from the rest of the aircraft. She was in the fuselage as that plummeted towards the ground.

[Amy Brown]

So did everybody else on the plane.

[Bobby Bones]

Crash and die because she was trapped inside the food trolley in the tail section of the aircraft as it broke apart midair, which essentially cushioned her fall when it landed on a snow covered mountainside. Wow. Everything had to happen right here. Investigators who also. Investigators also believe her low blood pressure caused her to quickly lose consciousness, preventing further injury upon impact.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

The plane exploded because a bomb detonated on the plane. She was working as a flight attendant. This story gets crazier. How's this not a movie?

[Amy Brown]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

And the tail landed again in a heavy wooded and heavy snow covered mountain as she was inside the little thing.

[Amy Brown]

And then how did they. I mean, I guess they know where the tail landed, but did they think. Are they in like a hurry to get there? Because they think they're survivors.

[Bobby Bones]

She was injured in the wreckage. She had broken legs, vertebrae, other internal injuries, but she lived. That is wild. All right, next up.

[Amy Brown]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

A mom giving birth to 69 children in her lifetime or a guy never missing a day of work for 50 years.

[Amy Brown]

The birth, 60.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, says a woman.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, well, I've never given birth, but I. Yeah, I can't imagine doing it 69 times.

[Bobby Bones]

But. But doesn't it get easier after like nine years?

[Amy Brown]

Yes, good question. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't either. You just like.

[Amy Brown]

That just seems like you just like.

[Bobby Bones]

Tap your heels together like wizard of Oz. Maybe it is a lot.

[Amy Brown]

Were some of them babies at the same time? Does that count?

[Bobby Bones]

It's also 18th century, so who knows how true it was Never missing a day of work for 50 years. Wild.

[Amy Brown]

That's impressive.

[Bobby Bones]

But there are documented cases of individuals with perfect work attendance. I'll give you one more. What's more impressive? A 95 year old still running marathons or a blind person climbing Mount Everest? Both are true.

[Amy Brown]

A blind person climbing Mount Everest.

[Morgan]

Was the blind person by himself, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Great question. I would bet.

[Amy Brown]

No, but still.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can say the 95 year old. How fast was he running?

[Morgan]

But he Ran it.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, they're fast. I'm pretty sure someone in their 90s when I ran the marathon beat me.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, doesn't mean they're fast.

[Amy Brown]

Well, I mean, I wasn't terribly slow and I'm pretty sure I don't know it's the same guy. But he was elderly. I'd put him in the elderly category and he carried an American flag the entire marathon.

[Morgan]

That's awesome.

[Amy Brown]

And he still beat me.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to go a 95 year old running marathons because you can be a 25 year old blind person and be in great shape and just have a little assistance and probably crush that.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, good point.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I don't feel like I'm not blind. Well, yeah, kind of am. Let's be honest. I have one eye that has 8% vision.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. But not really.

[Bobby Bones]

But I sort of legally. Hey, legally blind in my right eye. I would say like blind people can do crap that we can do for the most part. A 95 year old person, I don't know if they can use the bathroom. Like they have control over that. But I'm gonna go 95 year old. But yes. He did not climb it alone. He relied on his team. The blind guy did. Doesn't matter if you do it, period.

[Morgan]

Still pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

But I go 95 year old there.

[Amy Brown]

What's the percentage of people that try to climb Mount Everest and die?

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Amy Brown]

It's high.

[Bobby Bones]

It's semi high, I believe.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

And part of it too.

[Amy Brown]

I don't think it's a walk in the park.

[Bobby Bones]

What's a walk up a mountain? Okay, it's actually, it varies year to year. Some years have been particularly deadly. What I read too is that a lot of times it's because there's a queue like a line to get and you can't get up. So that's when people will get sick or cold. But it's only 1%. So you're. NPR just called and says only 1%.

[Amy Brown]

Still, you have to know you're gonna go try to climb that mountain. And it might.

[Morgan]

You could die.

[Amy Brown]

Take you.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta know when you get in your car and drive to work, you could die. Yes.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, well, never mind.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's the voicemail we got. Big fan of the show, longtime listener.

[Raymundo]

But I will say I have been missing dude news. Need to bring that one back.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, here we go. Dude news. Dude news. Just the dudes doing news we do if dudes just did news. Raymundo, what's your dude news? All right, so I got a question. Bones and Eddie, when do you guys work out together with your trainer? 3:00pm right at 3.

[Morgan]

3:00.

[Bobby Bones]

3:00. Does it ever. How long are the workouts for? One hour. Okay, that's good. So maybe you get the effects towards the tail end of your workout. They did a study and you are your strongest for lifting weights between 4 and 6pm so you might need to push those back a little bit. Why does it say why? We're stronger then. So they did 100 participants. They did morning, afternoon and evening and saw when they could lift the most weight and they said it's circadian rhythm and testosterone is the highest. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox Dude News is back. And Playboy is back, boys and girls. After a five year hiatus, they are back in print and they are back to doing fully nude. They tried to get away from it.

[Bobby Bones]

Creepy. I don't know, I don't like to get. Go ahead.

[Morgan]

No, they were gone.

[Bobby Bones]

Why they even. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean? They have great journalism, they have great articles, interviews, and they highlight beauty. And it is back, baby. After five years.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude News.

[Lunchbox]

How are you guys creeped out by hot chicks?

[Morgan]

Like just didn't know about it. All right, so there are three dudes in New Zealand fishing, right? They weren't catching anything. They were on a 16 foot vessel, not very big. And then all of a sudden a dolphin, a 900 pound dolphin lands on their boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Morgan]

To give you an idea, they're on a 16 foot vessel. The dolphin was 11ft long. So it started getting on the boat, breaking everything, fishing rods. One dude almost broke his arm. Then eventually they just let the dolphin out safely. The dolphin lived, but it was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I would imagine the dolphin let itself out. No, no. You had to flop so much and get leverage to get out of the boat.

[Morgan]

No, they had to go call the coast guard and the coast guard came and they had this little thing. Oh yes, dude. It was, it was almost the size of the boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Which that makes more sense because it. They would not have been able to lift it out, I guess was my point. If it's that heavy.

[Morgan]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless it was after 4pm when they'd have been the strongest. Ray. Dude, news is what do dudes and dudes did? News. All right, final one. An influencer went viral after receiving an unexpected note from a pilot. And my question is, is this baller or loser? Steph Borer, 23, known for her travel and lifestyle post on social media posted an 11 second clip on Instagram and TikTok says, I'm sitting at the airport. A pilot just placed this note on my table and walked away. So the note said the following. I've seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful human in it. She has nearly 780000 subscribers. She said I didn't see his face. Now the video has been seen about 12 million times. She lives in Charleston, S.C. she said, so kind. So the note again, on the note it said the following. I've seen the whole world and you are the most beautiful human in it. Baller or loser? Lunchbox Loser.

[Lunchbox]

Want to know why he left. No way to contact him. That is where he messed up. It would have been Baller if he left his Instagram, his phone number, something, so she could at least reach out and see if maybe there's something. He just left this note, walked away, and he's a loser now. And I've seen her pictures. She is beautiful. She is a smoke show. So I think the note is accurate. But he's a loser because she has no idea who he is. So it does no good. It does no good.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Morgan]

This dude is 100% baller. Leave a note. Not even trying to get with this chick, just being like, look, I've been all over the world and you are the most beautiful dude. That is so cool. And this pilot, he walks on being like, she just is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. I also think if, like, she tried hard enough, she could probably figure out who the pilot was. So part of it too could have been like, if she really cared to look. And he also signed like, but you can't tell what his name is. There's like a weird. Its signature is all like, sloppy Babe Ruthy. Yeah. So you can't tell. So, yes, she has no way to know who it is immediately, but if she cares enough, somebody will track it down. I think it's nice. And again, he wasn't all creepy about it.

[Morgan]

It's nice, but is it Baller?

[Bobby Bones]

I'll go. Yes. I'm doing something we don't normally do. I'm going to have to open the door for somebody that's not a dude. Morgan. Oh, you're not a dude. Let her in real quick. She's going to have a ceremonial wiener for this.

[Eddie]

Now I feel weird.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think?

[Eddie]

I think it was Baller. I mean, I would be complimented if this happened to me. And I think it's a good move. The only thing he should have done was maybe add his Instagram if he actually wanted something to come from it.

[Morgan]

But maybe he didn't. Just the masonry behind it is cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, did you see your pictures?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking. I see the whole stories on people. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

He's. She's hot.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up?

[Lunchbox]

I'm just saying. Morgan, did you see her?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

She's pretty.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude news. Thank you for requesting that. That's dude news.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Holmes County, Florida. A man was having a little get together at his house. Friends were over there having a few drinks. When one guy shows up, he's like, I don't really want you at my house, man. You need to leave. He's like, I'm not leaving. So the homeowner has to call police. And police say, hey, man, will you just leave? We won't arrest you if you'll just leave. So they're out there talking to him on the sidewalk. He goes, yeah, I'll leave. I just. I just need to text him one thing. Text the homeowner, hey, I left my baggie of white stuff on the table. Could you bring it outside to me?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm guessing that's a flower.

[Lunchbox]

No. So the guy brought it to him, and the police are like, man, what's that?

[Bobby Bones]

So he brought it to him while the police were there?

[Lunchbox]

Yep. And it was cocaine.

[Bobby Bones]

We thought it was going there. We just wanted to make sure. So then.

[Lunchbox]

So then they're like, all right, you're under arrest for possession of cocaine, but.

[Amy Brown]

Only the guy who's the baggie. Like, if you carry it out to a guy, are you like, now an accomplice?

[Morgan]

That's a good question.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can just act like you didn't know what it was.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, Just say, look, he texted me. I need to bring him that baggie.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. I thought it was sugar. That's just dumb. Dumb. Was he drunk?

[Lunchbox]

He was under the influence of.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, probably something.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Of the white stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

They're saying, do not release goldfish into, like, creeks or rivers because the goldfish get massive. They just keep growing. Here is the report warning people. This is from CBS Morning. Go ahead. Very serious warning from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service about goldfish. These little cute guys you see right here do not release them into the wild according to our government, because they can, quote, balloon into giant football sized invaders. Yes. They're calling it the Megalodon goldfish. A couple years ago, a guy caught a 67 pounder. 67 pounder.

[Lunchbox]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Arkansas Keith was a striper guide for a long time. And stripers are massive. Stripers are. My mom had like a 41 pounder on the wall. Arkansas Keith has caught some in the high 30s and 40s, and even those are not as big as a 60 pound goldfish. That would be awesome to have mounted on the wall, though, because everybody would think that was fake as crap. No, I caught the Megalodon. It also reminds me of the Simpsons episode where because of all the toxic going in from the factory, it has three eyes on it. Yeah, Blinky. Yeah, Blink Blinky, like with three eyes. But if you have a goldfish, don't put it in the river or the creek or the lake.

[Amy Brown]

But if you have a goldfish in a normal thing, it can't grow bigger in the tank.

[Morgan]

It stays small. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Morgan]

It adapts to its environment, which is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

What if I just started growing and busted the tank? No.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I know. I mean, I just. It's so fascinating to me, the guy.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at pictures of the people that have caught them and they've caught like six of them. Right. So it's not like this is an epidemic. But if I were to take my hands and put them about three feet apart, like I'm going, it was this big. I turned them over like I'm holding something. That's how big the goldfish is. A goldfish. We used to catch sucker fish. Worst fish ever. Because you couldn't do anything with them. Couldn't really eat them. And they were gold. Ish. But they were nothing. Like this.

[Amy Brown]

Are other fish like that or just goldfish? Like, if you caught other things from the ocean when they were little. Little. And you put them in a smaller. Would they not grow?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so from different. Right. If you caught something from the ocean that over generations have grown bigger, it'd be like if you caught a human and put him in a box, he'd still grow.

[Lunchbox]

Good point.

[Bobby Bones]

He'd be bent up. But. Yes, but there are other fish too. They say don't put.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they will out. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I would do? I'd stock my pond with like 100 goldfish giants and then just catch them. I'd have a whole pond full of Megalodon goldfish. That'd be awes. Awesome. That's it. Thank you. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody. Bob and Bones, you can find us on Facebook too, at Bobby Bones Show. The Bobby Bones show theme song written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry.
