Here's your host, Bobby Bones. Thank you. I wrote a note. Can't read it, but I'm going to figure it out before the Post show is over. It looks to me like it says Scuba Countdown, Ragol Countdown, Rogole. Don't know. Like it's right here. And it's. I have really bad handwriting. But mostly I can figure it out. I bet you Mike can maybe figure it out better write notes and I can't remember them. I wanted to talk about it on the Post show because I wrote it next to the Post show. But let's move on. We'll come back to it. I want to start with Lunchbox on this story. This person that won the $197 million in the jackpot, and that's the one that was split in half, Remember, this is recent. So they win the money because it was like a billion dollar one, right?
Lunchbox
I know the story.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you don't know the story? No. Okay, so we talked about this maybe even yesterday or the day before on the show. This person wins all this money in the lottery and they hit the number, but they split with two. So they get $197 million after all the things. Stuff's out.
Lunchbox
Not bad.
Bobby Bones
Not bad at all. Problem is they're upset and they're claiming they also had the other ticket. So they should get both halves.
Lunchbox
Where's the other ticket?
Bobby Bones
Exactly. And I thought I had that page here because I know, I read the story. So they only have one or do I have that? There it is. I read this this morning. So yeah, here you go. The guy who won half of the $400 million lottery jackpot is now suing California, claiming he's entitled to the other unclaimed. Have to. He claims about both tickets but lost one. Still wants full price. Can't they though, look at a video though?
Lunchbox
I mean, sure, they should be able to.
Bobby Bones
And then track the time that number. You'll know more about lottery than I do when it comes to this. Can't they track the number when it was bought? Where it was bought?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think they said it was bought at the game.
Bobby Bones
Both at the same place?
Lunchbox
Same place.
Bobby Bones
If so, that's the guy for sure. I'm not saying he should get it, but if so, what are the odds that both $200 million lottery tickets are at the same gas station? A man who won that is suing. He says he owns both. Last week, we talked about the missing lottery ticket worth $197 million. It expired this past Saturday. The winner hadn't come forward. So it is. It's both. A year ago, two tickets were sold at a gas station in Encino, California, that hit the $395 million jackpot. Months went by, no one claimed the prize. And then finally, one guy came forward with one of the tickets. He got half the prize. I understand now why he didn't go until way later. Because he's looking for the other freaking ticket. Last week, it sounded like the other ticket would go unclaimed, which is odd, considering they were sold at the same random little gas station one day before the deadline. The winner with the first ticket is suing California, saying he had both tickets. He said he's used the same number for 30 years, which that makes me possibly believe. If it's the same number, and it is that number, and both were bought at the gas station, the guy hasn't given an interview. But here's also what I want to say. Even if all that's true, even if you can track it back, you can track the number, you can track the guy, same number. If you lose the ticket, you lost the ticket. Like, you lose. You don't get the money, you lost the ticket.
Lunchbox
I'm. I think I'm kind of with you, unfortunately, because how are they going to have video from that gas station from over a year ago? Like, there's no way the gas station keeps all that film, usually two weeks. You know what I mean? They probably delete it usually. So how is he going to prove.
Bobby Bones
I did say that? Pretty matter of fact, I do know that usually it's not used to working. Usually it's about two weeks. Okay. Yeah. Sometimes it's more. Most get. Most smaller places, though, don't spend the money for the extra storage. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Some of them don't even record it. It's just playing. Like, it just has a camera. Like, makes you think they're recording it and they're not. Like, when I watched First 48, they'd be like, no, that's just a decoy. Yeah, decoy. So how do you prove it? Because if there's no video evidence, it's a he said, she said. Unless the lottery can go in the machine and see they were Purchased at.
Bobby Bones
The exact same time even then. Because I do believe with all the factors of if he's bought the same numbers every time they were bought from the same gas station. This is a national lottery. Oh, that he probably did. I'm not saying he is lying. I'm saying if he doesn't have the other ticket, I don't think you give him the money. Because anybody. Let's say somebody wins in Austin. You live in Austin and you go to that gas station all the time and you're like, not, I bought it at that gas station on this day, they have to go and track every single video down of everybody. Guess what they're going to have to do here. Typically places can keep security footage for up to 30 days. Up to some. Some go to 90, some go for six months, but most are two weeks if it's small, like this one. Usually they're not going to go more into.
Amy
How do lotteries not have like a logging system of like what numbers they sold, what time they sold. Why does it all depend on a ticket?
Bobby Bones
No, but they do know all of that. But why are they going to help give away money?
Amy
Because that would be the right thing to do.
Bobby Bones
It's not the right thing to do. The right thing to do is you buy the ticket and then you turn the ticket in to win.
Eddie
But it's responsible.
Amy
It's so weird, though. It's because it's a little piece of paper and we're expected to like. Like a receipt.
Eddie
Yes, yes, yes.
Lunchbox
You're expected to keep your driver's license on you.
Eddie
Like some. Right. You've been given. It's an elective. Like you.
Bobby Bones
It's like you get buying a ticket from. For a game. It's a paper ticket. And you're like, no, I lost it. And you show up, you're like, no, trust me. Go into the database.
Amy
It's too much responsibility to hold onto a piece of paper.
Eddie
Yeah, but it's your responsibility.
Bobby Bones
You chose to do it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It's like you used to have car insurance on a piece of paper and you had to keep that with you.
Amy
It's in my glove box.
Bobby Bones
But then you could go into court later and be like, I did have it, even if you didn't have it. But I would say this is different because you don't have. You have to have car insurance.
Eddie
Right. You can always prove that if you.
Bobby Bones
Choose that you bought the lottery ticket and you. And the rule is you take it back. Now. I think it's different if like dog Ate half of it and there's a code and you can prove it.
Amy
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Or there's a legal case between two people and there's the ticket exists, but you're fighting over that and who. There's a lot of things. But if that's the case, then nobody would ever have a ticket.
Eddie
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
You would just go in, pay 20 bucks and be like, put me in for these numbers and I'll check and see if I won.
Amy
That should be cool.
Eddie
No, no, no. You imagine that they're banking on people sometimes not showing up 100%.
Amy
That's not right. No, this just ain't right.
Bobby Bones
It is. It's not right.
Amy
Like receipts.
Bobby Bones
It's not dirty dog.
Amy
It's a little dirty dog dog. If you have the technology to prove that he bought both tickets, pay the man.
Eddie
Nah.
Bobby Bones
It does create a precedent of you don't have to have your ticket. Then if this happens, the precedent is set. You don't have to have your ticket because we'll know when, where and we'll have some sort of video.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
Because that's a lot of when and where's in videos.
Bobby Bones
They don't want everybody that wins to keep their tickets. That money goes to schools and stuff. So the state's not going to help. Why is this taking to help somebody do that?
Amy
Oh, it's for the. It's for the kids.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Education.
Lunchbox
Well, some of it already goes to it. Even when you buy a ticket, a portion of the proceeds goes to the education.
Bobby Bones
But all of it does if you don't. And I don't even know what that means education, because I ain't seen anything.
Lunchbox
I don't know what, what happens that 197 million. I have no idea. That is crazy.
Bobby Bones
That'll go into the education.
Lunchbox
That would be awesome.
Eddie
Oh, well then that's a field trip for every school baller.
Bobby Bones
That's personal pan pizzas for everybody on a Wednesday.
Amy
Oh, nice.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Whoa.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Boom. There you go. The typically it remains in this in the state could also unclaim money remains and also the state's lottery fund. So you mean the lottery fund could also go up with that old money?
Lunchbox
Surely I don't think that.
Eddie
No.
Lunchbox
Just throw it into the next mega millions or whatever.
Bobby Bones
But, but, but no. Okay, here's the thing. States different than some of these ones that are multi state.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
As well. So state would be education. I don't want the multi state. Where does that even go?
Lunchbox
Yeah, let's check that out.
Bobby Bones
Like the national ones.
Amy
That's the Mega Ball or whatever.
Bobby Bones
Does all the money bought in the state go to the state? Maybe even on those national. Oh, maybe like if you buy it in Tennessee, all the money to the mega millions bought in Tennessee goes in Tennessee. So here we go. If the owner does not come forward, all unclaimed prize money will go to the California public schools. In California. The current. So it. Dude, it looks like it's different everywhere.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But if a guy don't have the ticket, he don't get the money.
Eddie
So the lesson here is hold onto your ticket.
Amy
Right?
Bobby Bones
The lesson here is. Yeah, that's the game.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Like when stores started saying, you know, don't worry about it, you don't have your receipt, show me your credit card. Yeah, it's all good. Like when that happened, I was like, oh, thank God because I lost all my receipts.
Bobby Bones
Difference stores won't repeat customers. They depend on you continuing to buy things there to generate revenue for them.
Amy
You're right.
Bobby Bones
So that. Okay, it's just different than the lottery. It's not the right thing to do because you know the game.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you know it. When you buy it in California, it goes to education. Arizona, there's the Heritage Fund. I mean there's all sorts of ones. So every state is different, huh?
Eddie
I always thought it was education. No matter where in the states I've lived in, it's been education.
Lunchbox
Like Idaho is public schools K through 12 and public buildings. So it just depends what's public buildings? Oh, Indiana build Indiana fund, Teachers pension fund and police and firefighters pension fund.
Amy
Oh, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
Where's Arkansas go?
Lunchbox
Arkansas. Let's see.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm telling you, it ain't education.
Lunchbox
Educational trust fund.
Bobby Bones
Trust, Yeah. I trust they ain't putting it in education. Well, it's always like us in Mississippi at the bottom of every list.
Lunchbox
Kansas, they're dirty dogs. Transfers back to the state without any.
Bobby Bones
Sort of explanation at all. The FBI tells the House committee they don't know who's operating those drones we talked about.
Amy
They don't. Oh, the car sized drones on the.
Bobby Bones
Main show today, I was talking about these drones that are SUV sized. And the FBA FBI tells the House committee they don't know who's operating the drones. I just saw the story. You can just buy one of those. An SUV sized drone. But also the FBI probably. If they didn't want you to know, they probably wouldn't tell you anyway. Are you guys watching the agency on Paramount?
Eddie
Plus I just started the first episode.
Bobby Bones
There's only three because it's it's like, what sucks is we got into it while it's populating.
Eddie
You mean three episodes?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I hate getting into a show when it's pop. Currently populating. Because you wait week to week. Who would do that crap except us our whole life. But the Agency is that it's really good first episodes. You're like, what's happening? It's like every first episode. But it's CIA. It's got Michael Fassbender in it.
Eddie
Well, Paramount plus is kind of killing it right now.
Bobby Bones
They're kind of killing it.
Eddie
Okay, so because I'm back in with. I'm trying to finish Yellowstone while I let land man build up.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm caught up on Landman.
Eddie
And then now once that, where are you in Yellowstone.
Bobby Bones
Because it's so good.
Eddie
Agency will build up. I just started season five because I started Landman, but then we had a. We. We talked about it and I was like, oh, yeah, I should go to Yellowstone. Do that. Let land man build up Yellowstone.
Bobby Bones
Kind of pisses me off because I didn't want it to be as good as it is again, because I'm gonna be mad because this is the last season.
Eddie
Well, all shows kind of.
Bobby Bones
I know, but this might be the ebb and flow. Might be the last season ever.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because they have not renewed and Costner's not back and I am doing the podcast. It's all. By the way, people are like, wow, you're taking another podcast. I'm doing eight episodes. It's an eight episode standalone podcast series for Yellowstone with the actors and stuff. And it'll be fun because watch the first three and a half seasons fully. Kind of checked out for a little bit because it was that I didn't keep up with it while I was populating. I have a bad. I have a tendency to forget about shows while they're. We got to wait week to week, then was like, oh, got back on a little bit. And then they're like, do you want to do this? And I caught up the last, like, five or six episodes I hadn't seen, and now it's really good again. And they're paying me, so. But it's also really good without them paying me. But I wouldn't have rushed to watch it. I don't think I would have let it all finish before I started back.
Eddie
Well, I can say this. They're not paying me and I'm watching it so.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'm saying I probably wouldn't have watched it till it was all the Way done.
Eddie
If they want to pay me for Land man, that show's so good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I've heard it's really good.
Eddie
I mean, I'm like, well, yeah, I'm enjoying Yellowstone, but I'm eager to get back to land man.
Bobby Bones
But I guess it's like Yellowstone, it's gotten. It's like, it's so like. Am I caught up? No, I don't watch one last night. I'm not even gonna spoil anything, but it's a bit. Nah, nevermind.
Eddie
You can't say anything because I know.
Bobby Bones
Just new season, but I wouldn't have spoiled anything. It's a different kind of suspense. It's like, it's like suspense. Like unlike other seasons of Yellowstone event, it's a different kind of suspense. A bit of political suspense. If I may.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
May I?
Amy
You may.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. Facebook Marketplace. Shoppers are terrorized at gunpoint after teens lure victims with holiday gift items.
Eddie
Oh, that's terrible to do.
Amy
And what do they do?
Bobby Bones
So they're like, we got these. Come on up. And they rob you and they chew up and stuff.
Eddie
Oh my gosh. With guns?
Bobby Bones
No, no, bananas. They beat you with bananas. And then you sit there and take it.
Lunchbox
It's hard out there on Facebook Marketplace. Guys, when you're selling things, that's what you gotta think about every time you go to sell something.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's guns. Amy, be careful. Don't go by yourself. Don't go dark places. Don't go at night. Don't go in their house.
Amy
But night now is like 5:00, so that's true.
Eddie
I let a sweet older couple in my house the other day.
Amy
Oh my gosh. Had a girl, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Numbers game guys.
Eddie
Hey, they turned it out. I feel like, you know their son Bobby. They turned out to be the parents of a songwriter. I feel like you know him now. I can think of his name. Jimmy Robbins.
Amy
Oh, yeah, we know Jimmy.
Bobby Bones
Jimmy.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's cool.
Eddie
I met his parents.
Bobby Bones
Or were they his parents? We don't know exactly.
Amy
Why were they at your house?
Bobby Bones
Why did they buy them from you? What'd they buy from you?
Eddie
An old Christmas tree I wasn't using because I got.
Bobby Bones
Well, fake one.
Eddie
I used Keaton Claus and she came out with like a new one. That's. Yeah, I had been getting real ones, but she came out with. She has her own line now. Has a new one that looks so real but it's fake.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's great.
Eddie
So I got that. So I had a different fake one and they bought it do you have.
Bobby Bones
An issue with your dog? And the tree, you mean?
Eddie
No, because. No.
Bobby Bones
Like hitting it. Ornaments.
Eddie
No, the cat.
Bobby Bones
Oh, cat, though.
Eddie
Yeah, the cat. She's all. She'll be all up in it.
Amy
They think it's a real tree.
Eddie
Yeah, well, she.
Bobby Bones
Well, she probably didn't care if it's real. It's just something.
Eddie
She doesn't care. Just looks a place for her to hide.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, Our dogs don't care at all about it. We were worried about it, Ella especially, because she's very anxious, but she does not care. We have this big, like, I don't know what it's made of, metal, gold, angel type thing. I don't know. Beside the tree, I mean, Stanley thinks that's his friend.
Amy
He hangs out with her.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he just sits by it.
Amy
Poor guy. No, he thinks that's his friend.
Bobby Bones
Why can't it be? He likes just hanging out by him.
Amy
Doesn't talk back or anything.
Bobby Bones
Pretty cool. An engagement photo shoot is interrupted by a ring falling into a sewer. Firefighters in Cleveland came to the rescue of a couple after an engagement photo disaster ended with a diamond ring and a sewer drain. They were having their engagement photos taken, and somebody said, hey, do you have something back of your pants? And then somebody came in to wipe it off and wipe it, and then they wiped it and the ring flew off and gone down the sewer.
Amy
Sign.
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Lunchbox
You guys look for signs.
Bobby Bones
I never thought that, because I do not look for signs. But I believe in signs. Amy has to do this because you believe in signs.
Eddie
I do believe in signs, but not every single thing is a sign.
Amy
Amy, this sounds like a sign.
Eddie
I mean, you have to listen to your gut. I mean, who knows? The.
Bobby Bones
Wait, is it a sign or are you listening to your gut?
Eddie
With signs, that's what you have to.
Bobby Bones
You can interpret every sign to be everything.
Eddie
That's what I mean, if there's not. Not everything can be a sign. But if there's something that comes over you, when something happens, you should pay attention, because that's what happened to me with the cardinal. I see cardinals alive, and not all of them speak to me.
Lunchbox
Oh, so only when you're in the mood.
Eddie
Only when maybe you've asked, like maybe before that.
Bobby Bones
What if you didn't ask, but you needed it?
Eddie
One of them said, right, Lord, like, just the cardinal.
Amy
Cardinal said that?
Bobby Bones
No, no, no.
Eddie
You say, who knows before that. I'm not saying that this was a sign for this couple at all, but what if that morning she was like, I really don't know what's going to happen with this relationship. Like, lord, show me a sign.
Bobby Bones
And then I would argue once the cops got there and retrieved the ring and found it, it's like, regardless of whatever bad happens, we're still going to work out in the end where somebody else could look at it as well. Your marriage is going to go in the sewer.
Eddie
Boom, you nailed it.
Bobby Bones
So you can do whatever you want with it.
Eddie
That's where your gut comes in. That's what you have to listen to. Like, she has to listen to however she interprets it. And maybe, but I think her gut.
Bobby Bones
Was probably saying either way anyway. And she just looking for confirmation. I think signs are confirmation.
Amy
You don't think the coincidence of we always say, like, oh, it'll just throw it in the sewer is literally what happened.
Bobby Bones
But if they wouldn't have been standing over a sewer or near a sewer, it would have never happened.
Amy
That's why the sign kicks in, man.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
It was all too perfect.
Bobby Bones
You're not wrong, but you're definitely not right. Yes. You're not wrong.
Eddie
Right. So thanks. I'm not.
Bobby Bones
You're definitely not right.
Eddie
I am for myself.
Bobby Bones
Right? There you go.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. She's wrong.
Eddie
No.

Did you feel like a big break was coming?
Amy
I didn't know what that big break looked or felt like, but I knew that what I was doing was working. The gang banging and the drug selling, that's not really for me. But the looking cool, the having girls, the making, I'm like, I like that part of it.
Bobby Bones

You can wash the lollipop.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, you can wash anything. But you can wash your hands. But people don't.
Amy
But like, if it was a TV screen and you go up there and lick it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that'd be tough.
Amy
You never wash that.
Bobby Bones
Well, you would never go lick the screen. I wouldn't. That's a weird angle to have to lick it. But if you hold one.
Amy
Interesting.
Eddie
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
The device paired with the smell simulator can mimic flavors like cherry green tea. Very basic at this point. So I guess they're not going to do great British baking show, but they can do fundamental flavors. So that's, that's fun. All these diseases, but no, let's do a lickable screen. A new theft scheme hits buyers of Apple Laptops. Consumers who purchased Apple laptops in Southern California were greeted with an unpleasant surprise. They got there for the pickup. The Los Angeles Times reports that some customers who'd placed their orders online showed up at the store to find scammers had already picked up the paid for computers using fake IDs or QR codes. So this one person specifically was like ordered a laptop, said it was ready, so I went up to get it. And then when she goes to get it, they go, no, no, it's already been picked up. She says Apple wouldn't automatically refund her. Apple wouldn't tell her whether they'd ask the person who picked up the laptop for the id. But she did say the person had the correct QR code. So somehow they've gotten into something and they know your QR code. It could be a Trojan in your email, who knows? But now they can get that. You got that? They use that. They go, get that.
Eddie
Nowhere safe.
Bobby Bones
Nowhere safe. I need a sign that everything's safe outside.
Eddie
A sign.
Bobby Bones
I need a sign.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
A Christmas woman was. Excuse me. A Canadian woman was arrested for attempting to smuggle drugs in a New Zealand by disguising them as Christmas presents. Don't they say, don't wrap presents, take them through because they may want to open them?
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Pretty bold. I'd put my butthole before presents.
Eddie
You'd put it. Why? Why would you, why would you do that? Like, why?
Bobby Bones
They'll open the present and find me. If I were smuggling drugs, I'd cram it all in my butthole.
Amy
No, dude, you seen that movie Maria Full of grace?
Bobby Bones
Hmm.
Amy
Bad stuff happens when you smuggle in your butt.
Bobby Bones
I think occasionally, because if it busts.
Amy
In there, for sure.
Bobby Bones
But I'm saying for the most part, that happens a lot where people are using their bodies to smuggle, and most times, it works fine. But if I had to smuggle, which I don't. I'm not doing presents. I'm doing butthole.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Because they're gonna open the presents.
Eddie
You do you just keep a straight.
Bobby Bones
Well, I've just been practicing just in case. And I don't want to ever have to smuggle drugs, but in case it ever happens, I want to be ready. Wise man once said, stay ready, never gotta get ready.
Amy
That's right.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Lunchbox wants to say scuba.
Amy
What is shaking?
Lunchbox
I felt that.
Amy
Do you feel that's our building shaking?
Eddie
Like a loud truck in the garage or something.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Amy
That was like that trash you caught.
Bobby Bones
On fire here and that all the fire department had to be called for the building.
Amy
Correct.
Bobby Bones
Over the weekend, right?
Amy
Yeah, yeah. Like Saturday night or something.
Bobby Bones
What did somebody. Did it catch fire at the bottom or did someone, like, send it down the chute?
Amy
And what the story said is they had threw something away that was kind of on fire, and then it ended up being, like, a big fire, but they couldn't get to it. Wherever it landed, they couldn't get to it. So it took them a long time.
Eddie
To like someone in the commercial or.
Amy
Residential, I think residential.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah, probably.
Bobby Bones
Have you ever. When you first moved here, did you ever accidentally end up on the residential floors?
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Me too. You did?
Eddie
No, My very first time, the residential security guard had to escort me on the elevator to get me to the right place because I was clearly lost.
Amy
What's it like up there?
Bobby Bones
Dude, you wouldn't even get in this.
Amy
Is it really cool.
Bobby Bones
It's a whole different.
Lunchbox
Isn't it a different elevator?
Eddie
Yes, that's.
Bobby Bones
I got the wrong one. They're right beside each other, though. And I only got in because somebody got ahead of me because I can't get in it because I don't have the key to get in. And there I was like, I know what I was doing. Boop. Walked in, doors open, walked out, right? The doors closed behind me, and I'm like, this does not look like what work is. Watch out for a little bit. And I was like, I think people live here.
Amy
Does it look like I like a hotel hallway? Is that all it looks like.
Bobby Bones
I guess. But no, like a really nice. Yeah, really nice.
Amy
And get lost up there.
Bobby Bones
You ever been in a good, nice condo place?
Amy
No, never.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
When I moved here, I had a condo in Austin, downtown. It was. Felt like that, but then I bought a condo here for a while. You came to that place in Nashville? My condo there.
Eddie
Yeah, but that was really old.
Amy
Yeah, that was like the. Yeah, really old.
Eddie
But like, cool old.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but kind of like that. Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But this is new.
Amy
But I just picture, like a long hallway with a bunch of doors. Yeah, just like a hotel. Yeah, the hotel floor. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Hey, that shake, though.
Amy
Do you think that could have been an earthquake?
Bobby Bones
No.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Nothing fell off the wall, dude. And that a sign of earthquake. Things fall off the wall.
Bobby Bones
Noise. I didn't feel anything.
Amy
You didn't feel that.
Bobby Bones
And that's a sign that I should feel more.
Amy
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
I should really get in touch with myself.
Amy
Amy, you feel that?
Bobby Bones
Get my feelings?
Eddie
I felt it when it happened. That's why I said I thought it was a loud car or truck.
Amy
That's crazy. You didn't feel that?
Bobby Bones
Bones, you want to do Scuba's a Liar and a Thief or no?
Amy
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox, you're on.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So last year, we did a gift giving competition on the show, and it was the letter S. And Scuba thought it'd be funny to blindfold me and bring this big old snake in the room. Ha ha. So funny. But then he also said, hey, don't worry. I'm going to take you and your wife. We'll do a double date. Bourbon Steak. We're going to take you out for a steak dinner. That just dawned on me the other day. He's never taken me to a steak dinner. Never. The whole year is gone, and I have never been to a steak dinner at Bourbon Steak with Scuba's wife and my wife.
Bobby Bones
I don't remember. I remember the snake. I didn't remember that was the S bet, though, or the gift. Scuba, thoughts?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, that was like his nice side of the gift. But on that card, I was trying to find a photo or if he had the card still available. It's almost like a coupon on the bottom. It had an extra expiration date.
Bobby Bones
Like a lottery ticket, you'd say.
Scuba Steve
Exactly like a lottery ticket, which he's very familiar with. There's an expiration date, and the expiration date was within the first quarter by March, because I know he strings things along. They take forever to get to the point, and so kind of like me getting to this point, but I Basically said you had to do by March. And he never said anything to me, so I didn't say anything to him. And he missed.
Bobby Bones
Liar. Empathetic.
Amy
Empathetic.
Bobby Bones
So what's up? So what's the. What's the shakeout here?
Scuba Steve
That's what's up is so you are not. It expired March and he never hit me up.
Bobby Bones
And you wrote it on there.
Scuba Steve
I wrote it on there, yeah. 100%.
Bobby Bones
When.
Lunchbox
When you are the person asked out on a date, you are waiting for them to tell you when the date is. This was the date when he says, hey, I'm going to take you to a steak dinner. Okay.
Scuba Steve
I didn't, I didn't ask you. It's also part of the whole gift of getting back to you for the way you treated people on the show that last year. That's why I get got you the snake and I got you something nice but you just had to do by a certain time period.
Lunchbox
But I can't do it. You're the one that has the money and you have the Tell me when.
Scuba Steve
You it's your gift. Say, hey, I want to go on Sunday. I'm like, all right, I'll clear the schedule. Let's go.
Bobby Bones
But did it say on the coupon must redeem by Therefore he would know he needs to turn it into you to go. I redeem you.
Scuba Steve
Yes. There was, there was. I don't remember the exact verbiage what was on there, but there was this specific date was in March.
Bobby Bones
I can't be.
Scuba Steve
I can't remember because it was a year ago.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So lunchbox, how would you like this?
Lunchbox
I mean, I would like to go.
Bobby Bones
To my steak dinner to resolve itself. So you still want to go, you and your wife with Scuba and his wife, even though he's obviously doesn't want to go?
Lunchbox
Obviously, yes. I mean I was promised a steak dinner for our obviously like to have.
Scuba Steve
Gone before March, the end of March, but we didn't go. Then I get to the rest of the year and I'm busy. I don't have time for it. And I'm coaching my kids basketball team, all kinds of other stuff. So that that window of that first quarter was when we could have gone.
Bobby Bones
How's that going, by the way? What's that basketball team?
Scuba Steve
That's pretty good. I enjoy it. Win, win.
Bobby Bones
So this season winning are you winning this season?
Scuba Steve
Not so well. Last season we were crushing it. It's a newerish team, but I don't look at it as so much of the Winning because they're weather kindergarten in first grade.
Bobby Bones
Who says that? Losers.
Lunchbox
Yep, that's right.
Scuba Steve
No, but my. My team. Well, this is why I know we're better than most teams because when we.
Bobby Bones
Play, they have more fun.
Scuba Steve
We have more fun. But no, I've got five or six really good teams or players on my team. And when you play against other teams, it's always the coaches, so runs the ball the whole time and tires everyone out. No one else really gets to play. So my problem is we have nine kids in my team, and only five or six will show up each weekend. So you sub them out with one kid, they're getting tired by the end of the first half. First half, we crush it. It's like 8 to 0, 10 to 0, 12 to 0. And then you can't sub really anyone with five players, six players. So they're six, they get tired and they're done, and they don't want to be there anymore. And they're crying because I have no one to sub in in the second half when everyone's all burnt.
Lunchbox
Sounds like karma.
Bobby Bones
Question. Is there any way you can make this up to Lunchbox in a lesser way? Because obviously you both screwed up. I'm just going to be the judge here. Lunchbox didn't redeem it. I do believe you wrote on it, but you can't remember exactly what you wrote. So therefore I can't fully enforce that he didn't turn it in in time. Is there any way you could give him like, a $25 gift card at Chipotle or something like that?
Scuba Steve
I could take it for steak bagels at McDonald's across the street.
Lunchbox
He said bourbon steak.
Bobby Bones
No, I hear you, but you did not redeem. Redeem. But also, I don't think he should be able to get away cleanly. Right. Like, I'm trying to find a compromise here.
Scuba Steve
We could have some Salisbury steak he.
Lunchbox
Can send me and my wife. And him and his wife don't have to go. It cuts the bill in half.
Amy
What about like, a $50 gift card just so Lunchbox can go by himself?
Scuba Steve
I don't know if I want to give him money because I don't know what he's going to use it for. I'd rather have this experience with him. So again, we can do a couple different things just at a lesser level.
Bobby Bones
What if you just bring a couple of steaks from the grocery store and give it to him as a gift with a bow on it and cook them at home for his wife?
Scuba Steve
That's Good. I could do that, too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I would accept that.
Amy
Raw steaks.
Scuba Steve
Raw steaks. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Good. Like, good raw steaks.
Scuba Steve
But his wife can, though.
Bobby Bones
They cook.
Lunchbox
They have a grill.
Bobby Bones
I would say because he screwed up and you screwed up two quality steaks.
Scuba Steve
Okay, ribeyes. I didn't screw up, but. But for the sake of this, then. Then I will.
Bobby Bones
Well, if you can't remember.
Scuba Steve
I remember it was March, so it doesn't matter what the date was. It was March, and we're way past March.
Bobby Bones
Like, way past saying you're lying, but you do not have proof and you do not remember what you said. Exactly. So I will say, if you can provide him with two quality stakes, we can close this case.
Scuba Steve
I also don't know if I even need proof, because I really don't.
Bobby Bones
You need to say no. I'm just trying to, like, make sure you guys don't hate each other because it makes everybody. No, I didn't say you hated him, bro.
Amy
It sounds like you guys don't like each other, though, because you all don't want to go. You all don't want to eat together.
Bobby Bones
Well, it sounds like Scuba is, like, avoiding it at all costs.
Scuba Steve
I just don't have the time for it. I really don't. I don't have time to do anything extra outside of what I already have.
Bobby Bones
March.
Scuba Steve
I did. Yeah. I was wide open back then. We had more people to help out and do some things, and things were easier.
Lunchbox
Your schedule's clear. Do you let me know when your schedule starts?
Scuba Steve
I don't have you for this year as my gift. I've got Eddie.
Bobby Bones
No, he's saying to take him. Okay, here's.
Scuba Steve
Oh, we're into a new gift giving year.
Bobby Bones
This is what I would say. Now you can do nothing because I really have already spent too much emotional energy on this because I do not care. But. So he's not always holding it and every three months bringing it up as a bit. That's what I'll do.
Lunchbox
That's what I do.
Bobby Bones
I never got my steak.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I have audio talking to my.
Lunchbox
Wife about the steak.
Bobby Bones
Here's my prep. Here's my wife talking about our steak. Yes. Want to make out now? If you can just get him two good steaks from the store, I think that will be good enough and we can close the case.
Scuba Steve
I called Scuba's wife. Here's the audio. Hit the clip, Ray.
Bobby Bones
I went around the street asking people, do you recognize this steak? It's a 50.
Scuba Steve
50 split. What do we do?
Bobby Bones
Just get them. The steaks. Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Bourbon steak. That's the only way I'm gonna.
Scuba Steve
I got a voicemail in the voicemail.
Bobby Bones
Grocery store. Okay, thank you.
Lunchbox
So he's a liar and a thief.
Bobby Bones
Well, he. It doesn't matter. But I do think he. There was an expiration, because he'd be. He's funny like that, but he can't remember it. I think that you get something, he gets that, loses something. The end. Moving on. Dear God. Don't want to even do that. Me paying for lunch. Watch. Go back to school, guys. Or not.
Eddie
Well, what does that mean?
Bobby Bones
Now he wants me to pay for him to go back to school, and I don't know if I just have the energy to do the bidding at some point.
Eddie
You've offered that, though?
Bobby Bones
I have, but go ahead.
Lunchbox
No, I mean, it was weird. We had a caller call in, and she was like, oh, my daughter's trying to take college classes. And Bobby's like, here, I'll pay for it. Don't worry about it. Here's some money. I'll Venmo you. And you Venmoed her, no problem.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, well, that's not exactly how it happened, but okay.
Lunchbox
Now got me thinking. Like, if I decide to go back to school, Bobby, you gonna pay for it?
Bobby Bones
Come on, man.
Lunchbox
Help a guy out. Cause it takes funds to go back to school.
Bobby Bones
Two things. One, I feel like more it's him being irritated that I was like, hey, just let me give you the money. Fine. Two, I've offered in the past to do that, to pay for you to go back to school, because you only have three hours left. Yeah. And I was like, I'll cover that if you go do it and graduate, if that's what's holding you back. But you've said many times that's not what's holding you back.
Lunchbox
I'm just asking, man.
Bobby Bones
But what are you asking?
Lunchbox
So if I decide to go back to school in the spring, you know.
Bobby Bones
For three hours for.
Lunchbox
I mean, maybe I take six. Maybe I go above and beyond, and I'm just wanting to know if you'll pay for it.
Bobby Bones
No, but I'll send you to Bourbon with Scuba and his wife if he has time. There's no c. That's what I mean.
Lunchbox
Like, you'll do it for random callers, but you won't even do it for your inner circle. I mean, it's just. It's weird. You're.
Bobby Bones
I'm what? Finish it up. Yeah.
Lunchbox
It's just your priorities are really?
Bobby Bones
Do you think that maybe. Maybe she needed it and you would just like to have it and there's a difference?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
No. Okay, well, then I take that as a sign that he doesn't know.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I mean, it's just weird to me that some lady just calls in on the phone.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Here, I'll pay for your college. You ask for proof for the enrollment or, like, the class schedule or, like, a report card.
Amy
You really didn't.
Lunchbox
You didn't ask for anything? I mean, I have no idea where that $600 going.
Eddie
Well, he's trusting the fact that I don't trust everybody.
Bobby Bones
I trust very, very few people.
Lunchbox
You don't even know her. Her name was Beth, and she just called. I mean, she could not even be really bad.
Eddie
She wasn't calling for the money. She was calling for advice.
Bobby Bones
That's true. Wasn't any Beth.
Lunchbox
I have no idea. Exactly. We don't even know.
Bobby Bones
But I think, Amy, great point. Thank you. Because I did not know how to save myself here. But you're right. She was not asking for the money. And that, to me, are the kind of people that I don't mind helping if I know, like, their intentions are. Hey, would you mind giving me some advice on this? And I'm like, oh, I can help you with advice. But also, like, I'm fine, so why don't you let me help you? Like, in real life, people help me. Yeah, I don't mind that.
Lunchbox
Okay, here we go. I got. I got it. Bobby, I need some advice.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Lunchbox
I'm thinking about going back to school in the spring.
Bobby Bones
I agree. You should do that to get my.
Lunchbox
Degree, but the money just isn't there, and I just don't know where to get it. Do you know anywhere where I could find the money to pay for my schooling?
Bobby Bones
I do. I think if you worked with the company a little harder and, like, made some good relationships, like, Morgan gets to go do all this craziest stuff and get paid for it, like Vegas. And I think if you kind of, you know, used that time and nourished the environment, the professional environment, you'd make more money. You could do that. That's my advice to you.
Lunchbox
That's weird, because that lady called in. You didn't tell her, hey, she should take extra shifts at her job. You know what I mean? You just told her, here's money. See, that's what I'm saying. Like, I can't.
Bobby Bones
Give me. Ray. Give me voicemail. To Jean from California.
Eddie
Hey, Bobby, I know you're A kind and generous man. I know you've helped moms before, get signed baseball cards. You help people get concert tickets. But I'm afraid if you start handing out hundreds of dollars to people, you're going to start getting scammed. This woman needed $600. I don't know, does she have parents or anybody else to help out? I mean, the whole thing seems a little fishy.
Bobby Bones
So be careful.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
Careful, man.
Lunchbox
Was that an echo in my ear?
Bobby Bones
Why played that?
Lunchbox
Because, I mean, I pretty much just said it.
Bobby Bones
I knew I had that. I wanted to give you a little bit of support.
Lunchbox
Something like, America read my mind.
Amy
So you're concerned that Bobby's getting scammed. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you're being selfless. You're worried about me.
Lunchbox
I'm looking out for you, man.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And think that's the case. But I appreciate.
Lunchbox
I don't want to Turn on the 5:00 news, be like Bobby Bones, scammed again. I mean, you're gonna turn into Amy.
Bobby Bones
Do you turn on the 5 o'clock news?
Lunchbox
More like six.
Bobby Bones
You do watch the news sometimes.
Scuba Steve
Wow, you do.
Bobby Bones
Good for you.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And I'm gonna tell you what. The news is sad.
Bobby Bones
It sucks. It's awesome. I don't watch it on tv, but I'll watch it on my phone. It all sucks. But they need to be. They need to be sensational. Meaning the story had to be sensational, good or bad, you people to collect or. So debt stealing scams that may affect people. Here's the thing. Let's say I help out five people and I get scammed once out of the five when I give money. I'm okay with that because I've been able to help four, and I'm okay. I'm not gonna hurt so bad from that fifth. It's like the death penalty. Don't love it. I think there are times for it. But I would rather somebody who did it not be put to death but stay in jail than somebody who didn't do it get put to death. And I think that alone affects my opinion of the death penalty. People that didn't do, even if it's a very few of them that didn't do it end up getting killed. To me, that weighs more than the opposite side.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Am I. Am I being communicated in a proper way?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
So I'm okay with that. I know where my heart is. And if I get scammed, I get scammed. And people that are scammed probably need money, too. But I'm also not saying help Them out. I'm just saying. Yeah, whatever. All right, let's do. I think that's all the voicemail. Is that all the voicemails, Ray?
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
All right. If there's anything. Number three, James. Did I do James? Yeah, I can't play that. Go ahead. I can't play it now, but played anyway.
Eddie
Morning, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Oh, James, I do have a raging idiot.
Amy
3 quest.
Bobby Bones
How about some Elf on the Shelf? And I love Bob Bones family, I truly do. Happy holidays, everybody. Hi. Thank you. Obviously can't play Elf on the Shelf here. Elf on the Shelf is Eddie and I's massive Christmas hit. It's huge.
Amy
Huge overseas.
Bobby Bones
We did a song for Christmas call Elf on the Shelf, and you can search for it wherever you get your music and listen to it. But I can't play it on the podcast, obviously. But thank you for calling and asking. I figured out what. Do you know what it is, Mike?
Amy
I thought it was what you said.
Bobby Bones
What? Scuba Countdown gone. No Scuba. Huh? Countdown. Oh, now I forgot again.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Oh, I know what it is. I know what it is. I wrote down in the note, no Scuba Countdown game. So that's why I wrote this and we fixed it. But we do a national countdown, so I do the country top 30, and Amy helps me out. We. Every weekend across stations all over America. The countdown shows on. It's like, here's number seven. And it's one of those countdown shows that's the. It takes us a while to record it, but it's not hard labor for us, just time. So we have, like, you know, 10, 12, 13 pages of stuff that we record. They piece it together, changes every week. So they can never use anything twice. All great, but takes us about three days to do it because we do it in blocks during the three days. And there have been some changes to the people that have been writing the countdown, and Scuba is now doing it. Scuba is doing a fine job, and he's smart about it. He does it and he uses AI a little bit and. But we're working through the kinks because it's. He's doing it in a smart way to save a little bit of time, but we still understand what he's doing. We have a game we just play on the show all the time called what Year Was It? And in this game called what Year Was. And we used to play it. I mean, 15 years ago, we played every day for like, two years. It was like a. Yeah.
Eddie
Times when I hear the thing. Because we used to sing it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Ray, would you have the the song. The what you was a song. If you don't, they don't worry about it, but old schoolers will know it.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead. What year? What year? What year? What year was it? So we play this, and we'd give three things, and you guess what year it was. And a little fun game, little filler. Not even a filler, but a quick game to get everybody to a place at a certain time so we could do other stuff. I would say the corny is that now everybody loves the corny, but it doesn't take that long. And we said the cornies at this time. And boom, you get your corny get to a song. We do the mailbag after just a boom. What year was it? That was kind of in the same spot. So we do it on the Countdown. And Scuba's new to putting it together, but he was doing, like, dark ones. It would be like. And I had to say, like, I heard this. Did you hear what I was saying?
Amy
Yeah, it was 1960.
Bobby Bones
Well, not even.
Amy
Not even 1963, but I know what he saw. Yeah, he was.
Bobby Bones
It's like, what? It's, like, so fun. JFK was assassinated. Chernobyl kills hundreds of people. Malaria destroys Africa. And I'm like, scuba, dude, pick, like, fun things that people like.
Amy
Vietnam War.
Scuba Steve
It was a serious year, though. The 60s were tough, but in a.
Bobby Bones
Year, no, it'd be other stuff. Every one of them there was almost like, Tiananmen Square, 1980. And you're like, bro, this is a countdown. Keep it light. And so today was the first one where I read all three, and I was like, oh, thank God. That's fun.
Eddie
They're actually fun.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Matthew Perry overdoses Scuba. Like, we don't need that as of what year was it? Like, that's something to talk about. And go, that sucked. Oh, yeah, it happened in that year. But you don't lead it with a theme song.
Scuba Steve
I don't think I ever remember that theme song. And so now when you hear that.
Bobby Bones
You know, it's like, everybody have fun. Everybody have fun. Everybody have fun. Everybody have fun. AIDS.
Amy
And you're like, what, 80?
Bobby Bones
Exactly. I see why Casey Case, I'm freaked out now. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Tempo Records.
Bobby Bones
Why do I do a slow tempo and do an up tempo about a GD dog dying is what he said, or whatever it was. Yes. But Scuba today was a good one.
Scuba Steve
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Bobby Bones
And I'm always doing those really early in the morning, and I'm not quite. I'm not a morning person. I hate Morning.
Amy
Which is ironic.
Bobby Bones
I hate mornings. I've always hated mornings. I'm not a morning person at all. And so, like, it takes me a while to be comfortable in my skin to where, like, I feel like I'm not a little too edgy with, like, jokes. I'm not too child. You just gotta get to my spot. And then I'm not in that spot when I'm reading those. And it's like 9, 11. And I'm like, dude, well, first of all. But it's all good now. We're good school. We're on a good pace.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, we are. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Hey, that Chernobyl show was good, though.
Scuba Steve
It was the best one we've had.
Bobby Bones
No, the show.
Eddie
The show that taught us about.
Bobby Bones
Never seen on homax. It was on HBO at the time. I think it won awards. But that situate. Dude, that's awful. What year. What year was it? Thank you. What do I write down? Hmm. Okay. I think that's it. Everybody feel good?
Amy
Feel good.
Lunchbox
Feel good.
Bobby Bones
Amy, any. Any. Anything you want to talk about before we go?
Eddie
This is a trick question.
Bobby Bones
No. I didn't know if you had anything you want to talk about.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
I have something to show you later in your office or away from, like, something like. Well, I got something that you sent me that I'm ordering, and I got it in the mail, and I'm like, oh, is it not good? Well, I don't know that it's. I think it's real.
Bobby Bones
I'll look at it.
Eddie
I just. It doesn't look authentic. It doesn't look like what? The name that I thought we got.
Bobby Bones
But look at it. Don't say. Don't say anything else because I don't want you to spoil anything.
Eddie
Well, that's fine.
Bobby Bones
That is. That's interesting.
Eddie
So I have it in my bag.
Bobby Bones
I'm nervous for you, but I bet it's fine.
Eddie
Wait, why would you be.
Bobby Bones
Why do. I don't want to let you astray.
Eddie
Well, I mean, it wouldn't be your fault.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Does it lead you astray or led you astray?
Bobby Bones
I would have led her astray if I did it in the past.
Eddie
He doesn't want to lead me astray. Yeah, he doesn't want to ever.
Amy
I say those. Those Assanes all the time, but I don't even know what they mean. Right.
Eddie
And I'll do someone astray.
Scuba Steve
Well, you know what?
Bobby Bones
That. Like, you're leading them. But again, we don't say astray. But we. Yes.
Amy
Like, I've Never said astray on.
Bobby Bones
I know what it means, but I don't think I'd ever use it.
Eddie
He just said, I say these things and I don't know what they mean, but we know what.
Amy
Most of the time, I really don't know what they mean.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I guess I thought you meant you didn't know what the root was because you would know what lead you astray means.
Amy
Like, you don't even know how to.
Bobby Bones
Spell astray, you know, probably. And again, I couldn't bet my life on it. And again, I would just imagine it's a S T, R A Y, but.
Amy
I don't know sounds like that.
Bobby Bones
And I know what it means, but I never use that word astray in any other context ever. Except for that one cliche.
Eddie
Yeah, like, I don't want to, but.
Bobby Bones
I have, like, a thing with Mike. That's all right.
Amy
Yeah, you got it right.
Bobby Bones
I have a thing with Mike where we have a code of, like, I don't know if I can say that I'll say something. And it started with probably me saying I would get gypped. And Mike's can't say that anymore. And he's not saying it like he's offended. He goes, if you don't want to deal with the repercussions or if you don't understand why this could be hurtful to people also, like, in, like, five years, you don't know what people are gonna say about it. So it's not him being any sort of moral, like, oh, we shouldn't do that. He's going, oh, based on him knowing me, you may not like the root. This could be what the. With sayings, too, you know, and there are certain sayings, and I don't know this is the case, but, like, something like, I gave him the Irish goodbye. I'm not sure what even what that means, but who knows if that meant, like, it was a racial thing that Irish. Irish people killed people of different skin color. I don't know. Yeah, there's like, that situation in the.
Amy
Morning show with spirit.
Bobby Bones
Animal spirit. Oh, yeah. Trouble for that. Yeah. Because I was Native. Native American.
Amy
So, like, sandbagging. I don't know what that means. I don't even say it. I really don't even know.
Bobby Bones
But you know, to use it. No, you know what? You know what it means?
Eddie
No, it means you're stockpiling.
Bobby Bones
No, it means you're playing slower and worse than you actually are. You're deceiving people by being lesser so they believe you're lesser. So you can do more, but the root of it don't know.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. I guess you just say it different because I picture a bunch of sandbags, like you're storing up. And, like, people don't know that you got all these sandbags, and then when something comes, you're ready.
Amy
You see what I'm saying?
Bobby Bones
But that's not really the term. She just. She's associated that in her mind. But if someone.
Amy
That's my point, though, man.
Bobby Bones
But if I'm like, hey, dude, he's sandbagging you.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Amy
Like he's better than you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Then he's letting you believe.
Lunchbox
So, yeah, it's like if you're at the local pool hall and you, as.
Bobby Bones
We all are on every Tuesday night.
Lunchbox
And you're missing shots and people are like, man, you're not very good, I'll pay you for $100. And then you make every shot. You were sandbagging it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Lure them in.
Amy
That person. A sandbagger?
Bobby Bones
Yes. Could be in business and sports, sandbagging is the act of intentionally underestimating results to gain an advantage. Yeah.
Eddie
So, Amy's.
Bobby Bones
I think yours is when hurricanes come. I'll be honest with you. I think that's just on the news. I don't know. You can have a water source. Yeah, no, Amy's very literal.
Eddie
Every time you all said it. That's just. I picture things in my mind, and I picture a bunch of sandbags ready and waiting for when you need to bust them out.
Amy
Amy, you just proved my point. Like, we don't know what we're saying.
Eddie
My mind still means the same thing. I just picture it differently in my mind.
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Yours doesn't mean.
Eddie
Yes. Yes, I would know what you're saying if.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
If someone's saying sandbagging, I know exactly what that means.
Bobby Bones
But how you described. It's not the same. Yours is like, you're. You're again, the dam broke, and all of a sudden you're fixing it.
Eddie
But the dam breaking is when you get a challenge, and then you're like, oh, I'm ready.
Amy
I don't know what you're talking about.
Eddie
I'm not.
Bobby Bones
But you can have your own version. But that's not the same.
Eddie
My own version.
Bobby Bones
You're reaching.
Eddie
I'm ready. I. My sandbags are stored away, and you have no idea but that.
Bobby Bones
But when you're sandbagging, you're not storing them away.
Eddie
Yeah, you are. You're not revealing how much, how many.
Bobby Bones
I'M not fighting you. You can have it. I literally thank you. Here's something. Here's something I do more of surrender. Yes. I don't care as much anymore.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really care.
Bobby Bones
There are just some things I just don't want to have an opinion on anymore. I just. And for this show, sometimes if I have a mid or above opinion, I'll have a big opinion.
Eddie
Like this really doesn't matter because it's.
Bobby Bones
Compelling and I'm like, if I have a pretty, pretty solid opinion, I'll just commit to being big because it's not. Who cares if it's just lukewarm? It's not entertaining. But in life, I don't anymore. I'll just be like, I have no opinion on that. Even though I can be semi educated and go, still no opinion. Don't know. And I think it's free. It's freed me up a lot.
Amy
It's good. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I don't give a crap about anything.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's different though. But you, like don't want to work or anything either.
Amy
No, no, I work.
Bobby Bones
No, but I'm saying you just don't give crap sometimes. Like a general, like, like I know.
Amy
The important things in life and 90% of it not important.
Bobby Bones
If you get retired tomorrow.
Amy
Oh, I would retire.
Bobby Bones
You quit 100% done. You have nothing.
Amy
But I wouldn't like, not do anything. I would find something, probably build an orphanage, you know, for the kids.
Bobby Bones
Find it kidneys along with you and.
Amy
Put sandbags all over. Doesn't come in case of a hurricane.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, my point was sometimes I will say phrases and not know what they mean because we've always said them and they end up being, when you root them, actually offensive back then may not be offensive now, but times turn, man, and all of a sudden something you said forever ago that wasn't friggin woke. Police are like, ah, you said this. But at the time it wasn't bad. I didn't know that. And he didn't know any better.
Eddie
I know, I know now we would say or. And sometimes still do just because it's how we. It was always the master bedroom and now it is the primary room.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I still say master bedroom.
Amy
Well, oh, you're not supposed to say master.
Eddie
We're not supposed to.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Lunchbox
What is.
Bobby Bones
But I thought that was. I thought that was debunked about it all being slavery. I thought it was debunked about.
Eddie
I don't know, because I remember when.
Bobby Bones
That was the thing. And they were like, don't call it the master bedroom because it was. But there were houses that didn't have slaves that had master bedrooms in the north.
Eddie
But they call it the master bedroom because of the.
Bobby Bones
And I'm sure you can find a story that says that about. But what I had found. Because the same thing I was like. But there were houses that had. That were not in the slave states at all. They still had the master bedroom. Because you can be the master of your domain, the master without being the master of actual human slaves.
Eddie
I guess it's just like one of those, like, better safe than.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I guess I haven't adopted that one. I still say master bedroom, but I don't.
Eddie
I still sometimes will say it.
Bobby Bones
I'm not, by the way. I'm not bragging about it. I just haven't.
Eddie
No, no, no. I know.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, look at me. I'm.
Eddie
Because we're so used to.
Bobby Bones
I'm counterculture that I get it.
Eddie
I mean, it's just one that could get.
Amy
Yeah, I'll stop saying that. I will. I will. Starting today. I will never say it again.
Bobby Bones
I just remember looking it up and it being like that wasn't consistent with all over the country.
Amy
Well, I think it was more of.
Bobby Bones
An industry decision just to go away from it.
Amy
Just.
Bobby Bones
It could have connections, but I don't think they fully proved it.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
So could now you've fully proven. Guys, you know me.
Eddie
Oh, I thought you, like, it was so.
Bobby Bones
Because aliens.
Eddie
Could aliens impact you later?
Bobby Bones
Aliens fully proven.
Amy
That's got to be tough for realtors, huh?
Eddie
They say primary now. That's true. That's how they're trained now. Or like when my sister and her husband were on hgtv. They were. That was a rule. Like nobody said. You said primary room. Primary room. Primary room. Primary bathroom.
Bobby Bones
I can understand our television network making them do that.
Amy
Be safe.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because it's a disintegrated company. It's a corporation. Yeah. Anyway. All right, we're done.
Amy
Anything else? Just kidding.
Eddie
So back to the thing I ordered.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'll look at it. Give me a minute. Okay, I'll look at it.
Amy
Oh, I got. I got some.
Bobby Bones
Real quick.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
No, real quick. Real quick. I'm in no hurry. Take it.
Lunchbox
I got a pee.
Amy
I got a text message. That could be a scam. I just need to run it by you guys.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Amy
It's AT&T. This notification is to inform you that a request to move and it has My number. What's got my last four digits? The other ones are x'd out to a new device or a new SIM card we just received and it's about to occur. If you did not initiate this request, please call us at this number or visit your local retail store.
Bobby Bones
I need more information. I need to see it because I get those. If I add a new device like to my Apple, they'll send me and go, the numbers added new FaceTime. Let Morgan see it. Hey, Papa. Let Morgan see it real quick.
Amy
That's scary, man. I got to call my children.
Bobby Bones
To me, it feels real, right? As of right now. But I would need to see it and see the link it. Is that a number that. Those last four digits.
Amy
Is that. Yeah, yeah, that's a number.
Bobby Bones
That's his. That's your.
Amy
My number.
Bobby Bones
That's what makes me feel like there's some validity to it.
Amy
But they buy text my number.
Bobby Bones
Did anybody buy a new phone and your family or get a new line added? It did come from like a six.
Amy
Five digit number, which tends to be legit.
Bobby Bones
But what about the phone number they list there to call? Yeah, let me look at Google that. But any crazy have to do all this just to make sure.
Amy
So dumb. It's so dumb. And like my parents used to call me to like ask me about this stuff and now I'm asking you guys.
Bobby Bones
But the scam could also. The scam could also be this. I'm not saying it's a scam. Morgan, give me your results first. Yeah, that's. That's ATT's customer service number. The scam could be somebody opening up a phone line and that is really att. But somebody is actually still like taking your identity or have your phone account. They're opening account and then you'll be paying for it.
Amy
So one of my kids is buying a phone right now.
Bobby Bones
Well, that wouldn't be a scam. That would be they're in trouble. But that felt real. I think with all the stuff we found out. That's real. But I would definitely call and check because what the scam could be is somebody has opened an account in your name.
Amy
Yeah, that's what I thought when I first read it.
Bobby Bones
I would definitely call them, like, hey, dude, right now.
Amy
Right now on the air.
Bobby Bones
No, like, you're already too late. It's over. Okay, thank you, guys. That's it. We'll see you tomorrow. All right, bye.

The Bobby Bones Show
Episode Title: Was Bobby Scammed by a Listener? Scuba Gets Called Out for Being a Liar and a Thief! (Weds Post Show)
Host/Author: Premiere Networks
Release Date: December 11, 2024
In this riveting episode of The Bobby Bones Show, host Bobby Bones delves into a sensational story involving a lottery winner accused of deceit, engages with listeners through voicemails, and navigates through a variety of intriguing topics ranging from lottery policies to personal anecdotes. The lively interactions between Bobby and his co-hosts—Lunchbox, Amy, Eddie, and Scuba Steve—add layers of humor and depth to the discussions, making this episode both entertaining and insightful.
The episode kicks off with a heated discussion about a California lottery winner who claims to have bought two winning tickets but only one has been acknowledged. Bobby Bones narrates the situation:
Bobby Bones (04:05): "The guy who won half of the $400 million lottery jackpot is now suing California, claiming he's entitled to the other unclaimed ticket."
Lunchbox and Amy join in, questioning the feasibility of tracking the second ticket given the probable loss of security footage over the past year.
Lunchbox (05:58): "I'm kind of with you, unfortunately, because how are they going to have video from that gas station from over a year ago?"
The hosts delve into the intricacies of lottery regulations, emphasizing the importance of holding onto lottery tickets as they are akin to receipts. Amy highlights the responsibility of maintaining possession of such physical tickets:
Amy (07:59): "It's too much responsibility to hold onto a piece of paper."
Bobby further elaborates on the potential outcomes if the second ticket cannot be verified, pointing out that unclaimed prize money typically benefits public funds like education.
Bobby Bones (10:53): "But if a guy doesn't have the ticket, he don't get the money."
The conversation underscores the stringent policies surrounding lottery wins and the challenges faced when tickets go missing or unclaimed.
A significant portion of the episode features a voicemail from Lunchbox, who accuses Scuba Steve of failing to redeem a promised steak dinner, labeling him as a liar and thief. The exchange is both humorous and revealing of behind-the-scenes dynamics:
Lunchbox (29:15): "He's never taken me to a steak dinner at Bourbon Steak with Scuba's wife and my wife."
Scuba attempts to explain, referencing an expired coupon and his busy schedule, while Bobby mediates the conversation, seeking a resolution:
Bobby Bones (33:02): "What if you just bring a couple of steaks from the grocery store and give it to him as a gift with a bow on it and cook them at home for his wife?"
The discussion highlights the show's playful yet honest approach to handling conflicts among hosts, fostering a sense of camaraderie and accountability.
Another voicemail involves a listener seeking advice on funding her education. Bobby offers practical suggestions, encouraging her to build professional relationships to increase her income:
Bobby Bones (38:15): "If you worked with the company a little harder and made some good relationships... you'd make more money."
Amy and Lunchbox express concerns about potential scams, emphasizing the importance of verifying requests for financial help:
Amy (38:42): "But I think, Amy, great point. Thank you. Because I did not know how to save myself here."
This segment underscores the show's commitment to providing genuine advice while cautioning against financial scams.
Bobby introduces an exciting development in virtual reality technology:
Bobby Bones (23:30): "Scientists are developing a lickable VR device for tasting foods on television."
The hosts debate the practicality and hygiene of such devices, blending curiosity with skepticism.
The show shifts to a concerning trend where scammers are using fake IDs and QR codes to hijack Apple laptop pickups in Southern California. Bobby outlines the mechanics of the scam, raising alarms about identity theft and secure transactions:
Bobby Bones (24:52): "Consumers who purchased Apple laptops... scammers had already picked up the paid-for computers using fake IDs or QR codes."
The conversation delves into the vulnerabilities of online purchases and the importance of safeguarding personal information.
The hosts share their engagement with various television series. Bobby enthusiastically discusses starting new shows like The Agency, while Eddie and Scuba talk about Yellowstone and Landman:
Eddie (13:09): "I can say this. They're not paying me and I'm watching it so."
They exchange thoughts on the plot developments and character arcs, providing recommendations and personal insights into trending shows.
A nostalgic segment where Bobby reminisces about an old game segment called "What Year Was It?", where listeners guess the year based on historical events. The current iteration under Scuba's management faces challenges in maintaining a light-hearted approach:
Bobby Bones (44:13): "You're like, bro, this is a countdown. Keep it light."
The hosts discuss the balance between educational content and entertainment, highlighting the evolution of their interactive segments.
A lively debate ensues about the meanings and appropriateness of certain phrases like "sandbagging" and "master bedroom." The hosts explore how language evolves and the importance of cultural sensitivity:
Bobby Bones (49:14): "Sandbagging is the act of intentionally underestimating results to gain an advantage."
Amy and Eddie offer alternative interpretations, reflecting on how personal experiences shape understanding of language:
Amy (51:42): "I just picture things in my mind, and I picture a bunch of sandbags ready and waiting for when you need to bust them out."
The discussion emphasizes the complexity of language and the necessity of awareness in communication.
As the episode nears its end, listeners share their concerns and experiences, prompting Bobby to offer reassurance and advice. The hosts wrap up with reflections on scams and safety, reinforcing the show's supportive community ethos.
Bobby Bones (56:54): "But I appreciate. Because I did not know how to save myself here."
The episode concludes with promotions for upcoming content and a reminder for listeners to stay vigilant against scams.
Bobby Bones (04:05): "The guy who won half of the $400 million lottery jackpot is now suing California, claiming he's entitled to the other unclaimed ticket."
Lunchbox (05:58): "I'm kind of with you, unfortunately, because how are they going to have video from that gas station from over a year ago?"
Amy (07:59): "It's too much responsibility to hold onto a piece of paper."
Lunchbox (29:15): "He's never taken me to a steak dinner at Bourbon Steak with Scuba's wife and my wife."
Bobby Bones (38:15): "If you worked with the company a little harder and made some good relationships... you'd make more money."
