Here we go.
Lunchbox
Come on, Bobby. Bobby Balls transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Turn it up.
Lunchbox
This is the Bobby Bo Show.
Bobby Bones
Let's go.
Lunchbox
What's happening, friends? Good morning, studio. Morning. I thought this was funny. Morgan. Number two. Does all of our social media, all of our digital the. But at times, people can be mean to you on social media as well?
Morgan
Yes, like on my personal Instagram, they'll make comments and it just lives there forever because I can't do anything about it.
Lunchbox
Wait, so why are people mean to you? Mostly.
Morgan
I mean, a lot of them think I have a drinking habit, you know, because I always post drinking videos or something.
Lunchbox
That would be called a problem, not a habit. I mean a drinking habit probably not so bad.
Amy
It sounds better. It's not such a bad thing to be a habit.
Lunchbox
So they talk about you drinking a lot?
Morgan
Yeah, there's one I. It goes across the board what is.
Lunchbox
Your new strategy with social media?
Morgan
Well, so if somebody posts like a. A negative comment, I'll give it 24 hours.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Morgan
I'll just let it sit on my page. Sometimes I'll respond, sometimes I won't. But I'll see who all likes that comment. And then after 24 hours, I'll block them and block everybody who likes the comment.
Lunchbox
Wow, that's very funny. Yeah, I like that.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, because they're.
Lunchbox
It's haters and the haters friends.
Scuba Steve
That's right, the haters that don't actually hate, but they hate.
Amy
They support the haters.
Lunchbox
They support negativity and hatred. You should do that on our Facebook page.
Morgan
I mean, I've been thinking about it. I just didn't know if I was allowed to, you know, put that kind of bias on there.
Lunchbox
I don't care what you do on that page.
Amy
We might not have anyone after that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, I know. We have like over a million followers.
Amy
Nothing.
Lunchbox
I go look one day and there's like 17 just people, period. I think that's a pretty good strategy, though.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Morgan
I mean, it's like passive aggressive, negative, like.
Mandy B
Right.
Morgan
So I'm just trying to avoid their potential future negative comments.
Lunchbox
I like that. It's a pretty good idea. Don't you agree?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, no, I think it's great.
Lunchbox
And you used to be. Listen, you wouldn't let someone come into your house and insult you or say things you don't like. And your social media is like your house. You don't have to allow something you don't want up there. Just anybody listening. It also don't follow things that make you feel bad. A person, a brand. And not because they're insulting you, but if they're doing something or you don't feel good about yourself, block them. Limited mute it. I do that all the time. There are people that it looks like I'm following that I've muted because I just don't like to see their feed. And I also don't deal with the drama of them going, would you unfollow me? I probably got like 10 people on mute right now.
Scuba Steve
Oh, wow. Yeah, muting's good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Any one of us that you've muted.
Lunchbox
All of you at some point. No, No, I haven't muted any of you guys.

Lunchbox
Good morning, Bobby Bones. Several months ago, I went to a local day spa for a massage. During the massage, I thought the therapist was on her phone. I could feel something on the back of my thigh or my butt. And then A tapping feeling in that area when she massaged the other area. I went back a few times and sometimes it happens. Other times it doesn't. Last week, my friend and I went for a spa day. My friend had the same therapist. Said she had the same experience. Should I say something? I don't want to get in trouble, but it seems inappropriate. Texting is one thing, but what if she's taking pictures or videos? You ever had a weird massage experience? What would you do? Wendy T. Well, what I would do, since you can't prove it, it's just not. Go to that therapist anymore.
Scuba Steve
What do you mean you can't prove it? Just look.
Lunchbox
But they don't have the proof. They have to go back in and do it again. Catch her.
Scuba Steve
True.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Scuba Steve
No phones. No phones. No phones.
Lunchbox
No phones. When you're in your underwear or naked.
Scuba Steve
No.
Lunchbox
And lunchbox goes naked.
Bobby Bones
I do go naked. Absolutely. Full naked. That's what they ask you to do.
Lunchbox
Full naked.
Bobby Bones
They like it better when you're fully naked.
Lunchbox
I don't think they like it.
Scuba Steve
I think it's personal.
Bobby Bones
They can get their hands in there.
Lunchbox
Can you imagine getting your hands in there?
Amy
Disgusting.
Lunchbox
But me too. I'm disgusting, too. I don't want people. So here's what we say. Just go to a different therapist.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, he may. But. But what if this person. Clearly, they keep going back. Must be good.
Lunchbox
If it's that good, then you just risk having your butt taken. You know, a picture of your butt taken. Weird experiences. Yes. One time I was getting a massage, and at the end, she kissed me on my forehead. And it was so odd that I questioned myself that it even happened. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Like, were you out? So out of it from the massage?
Lunchbox
I was like, this was like, wait, what? Kiss my. And for like the next 10 minutes, I was like, did she. Then I realized, I know she did. But in the moment, I didn't go, like, did you kiss my forehead? Not that I even would have said anything, I don't think, but I had somebody kiss my forehead. You had any weird experience?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I've had some weird ones, but one that always stands out to me is one that I got at the mall once. It was a spa that was in the mall, and it was a guy, and he was, like, pounding my back, like, pounding it. And he said to me, this is what we call tenderizing the meat.
Amy
That's weird.
Lunchbox
Probably like an intern that isn't even. And they didn't have anyone. They're like, hey, Chuck, go in real quick.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. And I was like, okay, this is, you know. Because, like, you. While you get the back ready to massage it, you tenderize it. And I just was like, did you.
Lunchbox
Go, you're not gonna eat me, buddy.
Scuba Steve
Awkward.
Lunchbox
Why are you tenderizing me?
Scuba Steve
I don't know, but it was very awkward.
Lunchbox
Eddie, you have anything?
Amy
Well, the only weird part was a co worker of mine, we were in Vegas for a conference, and he was like, hey, let's get a massage. I'll pay for it.
Bobby Bones
Said, cool.
Amy
I thought he was gonna pay for, you know, us to go to two different rooms. We ended up doing a couple, and we were right next to each other the whole time. It was very awkward.
Lunchbox
That's funny.
Amy
And that first massage ever.
Bobby Bones
That's funny.
Scuba Steve
It was a couple's massage.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
With another dude.
Lunchbox
I mean, I'd be okay with it, but I wouldn't expect it. I just said, he's like, let's go get massages on me. I don't think we go to two different rooms. Yeah, but if he's like, hey, let's go get massage, and we can be on the two tables next to each other. I don't think I would go, no.
Amy
No, no, it was fine.
Lunchbox
But I would just. Because then we could talk. Yeah.
Amy
Which we did not talk.
Lunchbox
But I wouldn't expect that. Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
My wife and I did a couple's massage, and they'd said, oh, here, you can have the room for 45 minutes. I wouldn't say it was awkward. It was awesome. Okay.
Lunchbox
All right, now time for another Lunchbox Presents segment. All right, first lunchbox. You took over the voicemails here at the studio?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You know, you always tell people to call and leave a voicemail, and so people are nice enough to take time out of their day to call and leave a voicemail, but sometimes I stay after work and just pick up the phone, act like the voicemail.
Lunchbox
So if you call us while we're on the air and you get through, we'll answer live. Let me put you on the air. But you can call any time while we're not on the air, the same number, and leave us a voicemail. 87777, Bobby, if you ever want to do that, here is lunchbox answering the voicemail.
Bobby Bones
This is the Bob and Bo show. Voicemail. Yeah. Please leave a message and we may call you back. We may play it back on the air.
Lunchbox
Beep.
Wendy T
Is it though, or is this actually Launchbox? Okay, I can't even tell because now it's so quiet. Okay, well, this is Sarah, nobody likes you. Oh my God.
Lunchbox
I am.
Wendy T
You're kidding me right now. Did this really just happen?
Bobby Bones
If you're satisfied with your message, press two.
Wendy T
Oh my God, Jack. Do I press two?
Bobby Bones
If you'd like to speak to Caitlin, press three.
Wendy T
I am. So this is. Okay. Part of me feels like this is just a recording and he's totally messing with us. And the other part of me thinks it's really him, but I don't think he'd be listening for this long.
Bobby Bones
That was boring. Try again.
Wendy T
Oh my God. This is not really happening. Oh my God. We. I don't even know what to say.
Bobby Bones
Thank you for calling the Bobby Bone Show. We may play your voicemail back on the air.
Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
That's it?
Lunchbox
We didn't talk with her. Oh no. Oh no.
Bobby Bones
Hang up.
Scuba Steve
Well, cuz we don't know what she called for.
Lunchbox
And also how cool you just talk to her. That's funny. It wasn't funny. You just battled on her. Okay, here's another voicemail.
Bobby Bones
Hello, good morning.
Lunchbox
How are you?
Bobby Bones

Lunchbox
No, you're not. A voicemail. At some point, the voicemail doesn't talk back. That's funny. Okay, that's a good one. Here's some more Lunchbox audio. Apparently Lunchbox's neighbor confronted him. Should you say why? Or do you want to just play the clip?
Bobby Bones
Just play the clip and here's why.
Lunchbox
Are you recording your neighbor?
Bobby Bones
No, no. This is what happened. We were. I was in the front yard and we're talking and he Says something, and I'm like, excuse me. Did he really just say that? So then I reach in my sweatshirt because I got the little pocket in the front of the hoodie, and I hit record. And I asked him to repeat himself because I want to make sure I heard him correctly.
Lunchbox
Okay, here we go. Here's. It's about 40 seconds. Here you go.
Bobby Bones
Excuse me. What'd you say? I. I couldn't hear you. Hey, I'm just saying, you're the last house in the neighborhood with Christmas lights on. I walk all over, and everyone else is put. There's way. Yours is the last one. What's the deal? Well, I'm. I mean, I. I get it. I mean, but I have kids. It's been snowing. Like, I have a job and. I mean, you haven't got around to it yet. Yeah, I'm just. I'm. I'm festive. It's festive, but, you know, there's an energy shortage. You know, you're just burning those. Kill Watts. I'm thinking of you, man. I'm thinking of you. Sure. I. I don't. And next thing you know, you're going to tell me the earth is round. But, I mean, any day you want to come by and take them down, go ahead, But. Okay. Well, then. All right. Thank you. Have a good night. Have a good night. Have a good night.
Lunchbox
Awkward. Wow.
Morgan
Why would you do that?
Scuba Steve
I feel so awkward right now. Why would you get confrontational? Why.
Bobby Bones
Why would I get covered? Wait, no.
Lunchbox
Why him? That's right. That's not on him.
Bobby Bones
That's not on me.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Lunchbox was so awkward. Next day, you're gonna tell me the earth is.
Lunchbox
Well, that's a dominant. Yeah, that's not. But he wasn't confrontational. The guy needs to shut his trap.
Scuba Steve
Well, I know. I get it, but why would you make it awkward with your neighbor? Like, the guy's already being aw. Yes. But, like, just let it go and be like, okay, you know, we, like.
Lunchbox
Mind your own business. No, he's lucky Lunchbox didn't say, mind your own business.
Bobby Bones
Loser. I was frustrated because I was like, did he really just say that?
Lunchbox
How did it come up the first time? How did.
Bobby Bones
How did that come up? Well, he was just like, oh, how's it going? You know, did you have a good holiday? And I'm like, yeah.
Lunchbox
Are you guys just standing out in the yard drilling or what?
Bobby Bones
No, no. He was walking by, and. I don't know, I was picking up toys in the front yard, and he just Started a conversation, and then he goes into the Christmas light. So I think he stopped to talk just for the Christmas lights. And that's why I was like, wait a minute. And so that's when I started recording him, and I took a couple steps closer to him so I can make sure you could hear him.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that stink. I mean, I would have been upset.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
You know, I think that it was awkward, and I'm not. I don't support the man behaving that way. But then also, you took it to the next level by then. But what did you say? Like, so you're accusing him of actually thinking the earth is round, which it is.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'm saying you're telling me obvious things like, yes, I'm the only one with the Christmas lights up there. It's burning kilowatts. I understand that. I was saying. I was saying, oh, you're Mr. Einstein, basically.
Scuba Steve
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
But that didn't come out because I was so. Just caught off guard.
Lunchbox
Wow, wow, wow. So how are you gonna handle this? Because now I would leave him up another month again.
Amy
Oh, you would? In spite, obviously.
Bobby Bones
He said he walks all around, so he. I mean, I'm just gonna leave him on.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And they're on a timer, so I don't have to turn them on.
Lunchbox
I mean, I'm an 8 on that. Whatever that scale is. I'm a challenger. Anything anybody pushes me. You about to get pushed. 5. If I were Lunchbox, they'd stay until next Christmas.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
What? I would be so upset if this dude came.
Amy
Your neighbor, though. Like, you're gonna see him anytime.
Scuba Steve
He's so. He's passionate about energy.
Lunchbox
Like, he probably burned in the kilowatts, buddy.
Amy
That's so dumb. So dumb.
Lunchbox
So what are you going to do?
Bobby Bones
Oh, they're gonna stay up.
Lunchbox
For how long?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I mean, until I feel like I'm.
Lunchbox
Over this Valentine's Day.
Bobby Bones
But I am not over this now, and I'm not going to be over it tomorrow. I'm not going to be over it in three days.
Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
I am so frustrated.
Scuba Steve
I couldn't believe it, man.
Lunchbox
That might be the best audio I've ever heard. And you. Yeah. You want to hear another audio? You want to end on that?
Bobby Bones
I think we end on that.
Lunchbox
You do? Okay.
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with Amy.
Scuba Steve
So Adam Mazzayo is in the army and he was stationed far away from his mom and she hadn't seen him in a long time. So he was able to fly to New York and go to the restaurant where she works, Pixley's restaurant. And she was in the middle of her shift and he was sitting at a table. I saw the video of this and it is awesome. And she kind of comes over. She seems like she's the best server in the world. She comes over with a smile, greets people, is about to take their order, and then she hears his voice and looks over and sees that it's him and like freaks out. Here's a clip of her finally realizing that Adam is sitting there.
Lunchbox
Hi, guys. How you doing? Oh, I'm doing better than how you're here, man.
Mandy B
That's right.
Scuba Steve
The video was just so cute because she was just, I mean, good thing. I was like, ooh, she's probably always in a good mood. But knowing I was thinking of my luck, I would come over to the table and be like, how's it going? Like in the video would have been ruined because of my attitude, but she was chipper no matter what.
Lunchbox
Then he stiffer.
Amy
I heard, no, it didn't differ.
Scuba Steve
But I love that he surprised his mom. He hadn't seen her in eight months.
Lunchbox
That's super cool. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. All right, that's what it's all about. That was.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
There's a voicemail from over the weekend.
Wendy T
I just wanted to pose a question to the room. Do you guys think that it's still catfishing? If it is the person in the photo, but they don't really look that good. Maybe the photos are a few years younger, maybe a few pounds less. Maybe there's some editing going on. Do you guys consider that catfishing if someone showed up to the date and it's them, you recognize them, but you're also like, that's not what I thought.
Lunchbox
I was talking to.
Wendy T
What do you think?
Lunchbox
Great question. Let's go to Morgan. Morgan, you're on an app, and you meet a dude, and he doesn't look like the picture, but it's that guy.
Morgan
Yeah, this happened to me.
Lunchbox
Really? Did you feel like you were catfished?
Morgan
I didn't feel like I was catfished, but I definitely felt a little uncomfortable because, like, it felt like he wasn't secure or confident in himself in that phase of his life. Like, when he showed up to meet.
Lunchbox
Me, do you feel like he was baiting you with a better version of him?
Morgan
Yes, for sure.
Lunchbox
I.
Morgan
It definitely was like a. It was like a bait and switch situation.
Lunchbox
Bait, here's hot me.
Morgan
Switch, here's ugly me in a way.
Lunchbox
Like, I. I could. I could never do that because I would be so nervous. I would almost want to have an uglier picture up because then it'd be like, surprise, I'm hotter.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Not the other way, where you actually see their eyes go, oh, God. How do you react whenever. And do you react whenever he doesn't look like him?
Morgan
I didn't react like. I think my brain reacted like. There was definitely wheels turning in my brain.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Morgan
But I went through with the date, and we hung out for, like, two hours.
Lunchbox
Oh, so you liked him?
Morgan
No, I just, like. I'm really bad at ending conversation. I'm really bad at being like, okay, I'm leaving. So I just went through with it and, like, did the date, but I didn't talk to him after that. It just. It just started everything off. Kind of like it felt like on a lie.
Lunchbox
So you wouldn't say that's catfishing, though, but you would say it is a bit dishonest.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Morgan
It's dishonest. And it's definitely like. It's. It's kind of a flag where you're like, okay, what else is going on?
Scuba Steve
Misleading.
Morgan
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Lunchbox.
Wendy T
What.
Lunchbox
What do you want to say?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Yeah. I want to say this. So when you show up to a date, do you let them know you're wearing Spanx or a push up bra? Okay, no, I'm honest question.
Lunchbox
But is that.
Bobby Bones
That's misrepresentation the same way because you think you're getting this hourglass figure and you get her home and it you're getting a muffin top. I mean, am I right? You think you're getting double Ds and you're really getting Cs. It's like, whoa.
Lunchbox
He's not wrong.
Bobby Bones
It's misrepresentation. The same way you are altering your look to make yourself look better. Just like he did in the pictures.
Scuba Steve
Well, Morgan's example is a guy. But this can go both ways. Like.
Lunchbox
Yes, but his example specifically respond to that.
Amy
Push up bras. And what do you say?
Lunchbox
Spanx.
Amy
Spanx.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Okay. No. So now if the guy colors his hair great ribbon whitens his teeth. Yes, but.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Scuba Steve
If you have a spray tan, if.
Bobby Bones
You have a problem with misrepresentation, then you have to hold the same standards to the woman.
Lunchbox
I think the issue here is a.
Scuba Steve
Sphinxer pusher bra are not going to alter things that drastically.
Amy
You sure?
Bobby Bones
What then why do you wear them?
Scuba Steve
Because it feel. It's shapewear. It feels good. It may, but it's not. It's not this like drastic difference. It turns really not.
Amy
It turns the muffin into a breadstick.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it absolutely does. It slims it down.
Scuba Steve
I can't.
Lunchbox
We do a lot of things in the current to make ourselves look and feel better, right? I think that's different than using an old picture of you from 10 years ago that you can't even get back to.
Scuba Steve
Very different.
Lunchbox
It's. I, I understand why you feel the way you do so but I. I don't think it's exactly the same. Kind of mad though he is you mad at her?
Bobby Bones
I'm. Out of all you guys ripping on.
Lunchbox
This dude, nobody ripped. She just said it made her feel uncomfortable because she felt like it was dishonest of him.
Bobby Bones
Did you put makeup on for that date, Morgan?
Morgan
Yes, but I will tell you. Hold on. I do agree.
Lunchbox
Well, I guess if you put clothes on then that would count, right?
Morgan
Can I respond to you like I don't disagree with you. I do think we. We filter ourselves and stuff. But I make sure on my profile, like even when I got bangs, I put new pictures up because I look like a different person.
Lunchbox
You're gonna make sure that they're not surprised by what they're seeing. Yeah. By what they saw. Yes.
Morgan
So, like, however I show up every single day is how my dating profile looks. And as long as you show up as who you are every single day, then I'm cool with that.
Scuba Steve
So you have a variety of photos? Yes.
Morgan
So you. I mean, I'm full body. I'm close up. You see everything about me. So if I'm putting myself out there in that full way, I feel like the guy should also.
Lunchbox
How did this turn on Morgan? I mean, it was literally, I went to Morgan to answer, and Lunchbox got so mad.
Scuba Steve
He just got mad at women in general, like.
Bobby Bones
But you see my point.
Lunchbox
I see why you think that's a point, but I don't.
Bobby Bones
You kind of side with me.
Scuba Steve
No, no.
Lunchbox
But I don't think it's the same point, because like Amy said, guys do it, too.
Scuba Steve
Gather shapewear for men.
Lunchbox
And not only that, you're dying the hair.
Amy
They do have spanks.
Lunchbox
All that. Anyway, Morgan. Thank you, Lunchbox. Take a breath, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Whose side are you on?
Amy
I mean, I understand what you're saying, but I'm not.
Lunchbox
It's not the same.
Scuba Steve
So, like, if Eddie wears a hat, it's misrepresented.
Amy
But, you know, I mean, people know if I'm wearing a hat, wants a.
Lunchbox
Full body naked, wants to see every. Your medical records and anything that.
Bobby Bones
No, no. I'm saying if you're going to get mad at him for having older pictures, then you better not have any older pictures.
Lunchbox
Is different. It doesn't matter. Thank you, Morgan. You're welcome.
Amy
So is it catfishing or not?
Scuba Steve
No, it's misrepresentation, Bones, I do want.
Lunchbox
To bring on Alice from North Carolina. She called last week informing us she was scammed by a fake Trace Atkins. You were hoping to buy meet and greet passes and tickets to a Trace Atkins show, correct?
Wendy T
That's correct.
Lunchbox
Hey, did you get the tickets? Because I bought you tickets, sent them to you.
Wendy T
Did you get them? Yes, I did. Thank you.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, amazing.
Lunchbox
Because, I mean, she was on, and I was like, at least let me buy tickets for you, because in what town do you live in?
Wendy T
I live in North Carolina.
Lunchbox
Okay. And the Wilmington, North Carolina show. Alice will be going to the show. I couldn't help her with everything, but I was happy to send her some tickets. But then we got a different call on the phone right now. We have somebody else that wants to talk to you for just a second. Let's put Alice on hold and let us bring on Trace Atkins. Trace, how are you, buddy?
Eddie
I'm well, Bobby. How are you?
Lunchbox
Well, I appreciate you calling. I know that you heard what was going on, and. And we have Alice here who was just trying to buy tickets. Alice, what do you want to say to Trace? I know you're a big fan.
Wendy T
Oh, my God. I want to say I love you so much. I love your music. Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm actually talking to Trace actors. I'm gonna die. Oh, my God.
Eddie
Well, thank you, Alice. I'm sorry to hear about not what happened. It's been. It's been a scourge for the last few years, people doing stu like this, and it's. I don't know. I don't. I don't know when somebody's gonna do something about it.
Wendy T
I know you don't, and it's not. I know it's not your fault. That's why I still love you.
Eddie
Well, you know, we're sorry that this happened. I mean, you. You have no idea how many times a week this happens. My manager told me this happens all the time, and it's.
Wendy T
Yes, it does.
Eddie
You know, these platforms haven't been policing this stuff better and don't seem to care that people are being taken advantage of. Like, you know, our laws haven't caught up with our technology. These people need to be caught and prosecuted. But, you know, they'll shut their. Their little site down, but then they just start another one back up and nobody does anything about it.
Wendy T
No, that's the truth.
Lunchbox
Well, Alice, Trace wants to make sure that when you come to the show that you also get to meet and greet and do the meet and greet. Meet Trace and also get a picture.
Wendy T
Thank you. I'm gonna cry. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Oh, my God. I'm gonna cry.
Eddie
It's my pleasure.
Lunchbox
Hey, Alice, what's your favorite Trace song? Like? What song you looking forward to seeing most when you get there?
Wendy T
Honky. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey.
Scuba Steve
Amazing.
Wendy T
That's my favorite. I gotta. The reason why I say that is because I have a honky talk with Donkey Donk. I have one of them.
Eddie
Oh, okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
All right.
Wendy T
I like to joke around, as you can tell.
Lunchbox
Well, listen, we are going to get you hooked up. You're going to get to meet Trace. We're going to get you tickets. I already sent you some tickets in the mail that I bought you, but we're going to get you all hooked up.

Bobby Bones
For a little bit. So we were going coming back from Las Vegas and we were going through tsa, and my wife, the whole weekend we were in Vegas had been breast pumping because she had to get the milk for the bab. And so she saved all the milk that she, you know, pumped out of her. You know, he loves saying that, you know, and so we had it in a cooler full of ice. And on the website it says you can bring breast milk. And as we're going through, the guy pulls it to the side and he goes, if you can produce this much milk, there is no need to save it. You might as well just throw this in the trash. Because when you bring breast milk through, it makes my job really difficult.
Eddie
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Who are you to tell my wife after she worked so hard to pump all that milk all weekend that she should just throw it away? And I got kind of hot at the TSA agent, but I was like, don't get arrested. Don't get arrested at the airport. And so then I went online and I found there's a number you can call to complain. So guess what I did.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, let's hear the call of Lunchbox calling the tsa.
Wendy T
Hi, this is with tsa. Do you have any questions or concerns that I can help you with?
Bobby Bones
Oh, yes, ma'am, I absolutely have a concern because I went through TSA pre check at the Las Vegas Airport. And my wife, yeah, she was bringing breast milk, and the guy opened up the cooler and he goes, he told her, why don't you just throw this away? You don't need it. How is he gonna tell a woman to throw her breast milk away? Is that what TSA is trained to do?
Lunchbox
Oh, my goodness, sir, I'm so sorry for that incident. I apologize. No, that is absolutely unacceptable.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, my wife worked all weekend. Every three hours, she had those things. I don't know about you. Have you had any kids? Have you had to put those machines on your legs, ladies? And, you know, that's really hard work. And he was like, you should just throw this away, because. Why? It made his job harder. Sorry. Is he not getting paid? Do you get paid at the tsa?
Lunchbox
No. Absolutely.
Bobby Bones
Oh, absolutely.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
That's what I thought. Because he was like, oh, it makes my job hard. Well, guess what? It's called your job, so do it. Why you tell me to throw it away?
Lunchbox
You, you are absolutely correct. You know, that is. That is unacceptable.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I would like. You know what I would like to do? I would like me and you go down there and have put those things up to his chest and see if he likes getting and trying to get milk out every three hours.
Lunchbox
Listen, I, I, I understand. So I hear the frustration in your voice, but here's what I'm going to do. I am going to contact the Las Vegas airport, I am going to file a claim, and you have my word that I am going to look into this personally.
Bobby Bones
Well, thank you very much, because I just want all those women to know I am pro breast milk, and I want to make sure TSA is, too, and I want that milk to be safe.
Wendy T
Yes, sir, we will. Yes, sir. Thank you so much.
Bobby Bones
All right, have a great day.
Wendy T
YouTube.
Lunchbox
Just a couple comments. One, what they beat out?
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I beeped his name.
Scuba Steve
His name?
Lunchbox
Oh, that's what it was.
Bobby Bones
Because I didn't know if that would be good to sell them out like that, but, yes, I. Yes. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Number two. My number two comment is I find your communication style intriguing. Okay, so ask a question, then just keep talking, and then ask another question that doesn't have to do it. And then they have, like, three questions, and they don't really know how to answer any of them. Hey, can I ask you a question? Do you think it's okay to pump breast milk if you do?
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
Do you think women should have rights? Huh? The 1920s. That's a suffrage. When we got women out, they could vote. Do you think that was good?
Bobby Bones
Who's the leader?
Lunchbox
Okay, help. And you're like. She's like, I'm blown away. I don't know what to say to this. But yes, I feel like she understood. I also feel like he'd like to say breast.
Scuba Steve
Well, he also called them the ladies.
Lunchbox
Yes, obviously.
Amy
That was funny though.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Okay, last comment.
Amy
My favorite is that he continues to yell even after he's like saying thank.
Bobby Bones
You, I appreciate it.
Amy
You're very nice about this.
Bobby Bones
Thank you for helping me a lot. You're the good one.
Lunchbox
Wait, what? Why are you still. It's time for the good news with lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Alan Taylor and his son Zane. We're at City Donuts getting some nice little donuts and Zane standing off at the table. When dad's paying. I'll take two glaze, two chocolate frosting. He hears something in the background. He looks and there's an out of control car heading for the restaurant. And he runs, dives, tackles his four year old son just as the car comes crashing through the wall and misses, Misses him by inches. Saves his son and City Donuts said Zane, you can have one donut every Saturday for the rest of your life.
Scuba Steve
Okay, that's kind of cool. I thought he was there just to say one donut. That's it.
Lunchbox
What's up with that car?
Bobby Bones
It just says that someone hit the gas instead of the brake. Yeah.
Lunchbox
So somebody old doing the wrong pedal. Yeah. Or somebody drunk or Amy, because she, it happens on her breath. So one of those three. Ah, good story. Ah. Wow. That stinks. That's what it's all about. That was.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good bones wake up.
Lunchbox
You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning his wigs.
Bobby Bones
Next bit.
Lunchbox
And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? Let's go. This is, I think this is a pretty good class. California students, K through 12, they're, they have to learn literary skills. But also now there is part of the class that teaches people how to know if it's fake news or not.
Amy
Oh, that's good.
Lunchbox
Something we didn't have to learn because we didn't have all social media telling us lying to us. At times that looked like it was the truth.
Amy
I mean I just got tricked. Like a second ago there was a. Some post about a Dallas cowboys guy got arrested.
Lunchbox
Dude.
Amy
Now it's fake account, fake news.
Lunchbox
So now they have put in this Assembly Bill. 873, which requires the state to add media literacy to curriculum frameworks. That actually teaches you how to tell the difference.
Scuba Steve
Sometimes it's really hard to tell, though.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox
But, yeah, overall, only 7% of adults have a great deal of trust in the media. And I'd like to thank that 7% because they're our listeners. That's the 7%. They know we might be wrong, but they know we're not going to purposefully lie to them.
Amy
Right.
Lunchbox
We just are idiots sometimes.
Scuba Steve
Just misinformation.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. Not disinformation. Misinformation.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, we're all just a little misunderstood.
Amy
Well, hey, we're trying, man.
Lunchbox
We're going as hard as we can here. Yeah, we're just. Sometimes we're like you, shooting from the hip. We just say stuff sometimes. So that's from calmatters.org thought that was pretty good. Dumbest class you ever had to take, though. In high school or college? In high school, we didn't have a whole lot of classes. Small school, college. I ended up taking, and I liked it. But I took racquetball, and I was. I was amazed. I got to bowling, too. I was amazed. You could get credits for that.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I did power walking.
Lunchbox
That's crazy. That's a good one. Did you actually have to show up?
Scuba Steve
Yes. And it's harder than you would think because you are graded. You can't run. There's a fine line between a slow jog and a power Amen.
Lunchbox
Amen.
Scuba Steve
And you have to get it just right.
Bobby Bones
You.
Amy
I took non speaking Spanish, but I failed that one. So, like, I thought I did non speaking because I came from a speaking household thinking I was gonna AC It. I failed it.
Lunchbox
Oh, I thought you meant, like, non speaking, where you don't say a single word and everybody just trusts each other. They know Spanish. No, no.
Bobby Bones
It was called Life and Transition. It was high school, freshman year, and it was, like, supposed to teach you how to adjust to high school life. Note taking, organize your binder, everything. But mine was the second semester because some people took it first semester. Mine was second semester. So I'd been high school for six months, and it was like, we're already doing here. You need to put tabs in a binder.
Lunchbox
And it was like you had already transitioned.
Bobby Bones
I've already transitioned you, man.
Lunchbox
Good for you, man. All right, thank you. Let's go over to Amy and get in. The morning corny.
Bobby Bones
The morning corny.
Scuba Steve
What does Austin Powers put on his mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving? What groovy Baby.
Lunchbox
Gravy.
Scuba Steve
Gravy.
Lunchbox
Gravy, baby.
Scuba Steve
Oh, should I say it that way?
Lunchbox
Yeah. Gravy, baby.
Scuba Steve
Dang it.
Wendy T
Yeah. Okay.
Scuba Steve
Gravy, baby. Are you gonna say, like, Austin Powers gravy?
Lunchbox
Yeah. You know, it's not groovy, though. Gravy.
Scuba Steve
Oh, okay.
Amy
Because he says groove.
Scuba Steve
I know he does. So I thought.
Lunchbox
Did you change the joke from what it said? You thought gravy was wrong?
Scuba Steve
No, no. It said groovy.
Lunchbox
Gravy.
Scuba Steve
A groovy, no gravy, baby.
Lunchbox
Either way, it's funny.
Bobby Bones
Guys.
Lunchbox
That was the morning Corny. Cool, cool, cool. All right, thank you, guys. Bobby Bone Show Story of the day.
Bobby Bones
This story comes to us from North Dakota. A 50 year old woman was out to brunch over the weekend, having a few drinks, when she's walking down the street and she sees a cop in uniform. And she loves a man in uniform. Walks up behind him and pop, smacks him on the butt.
Lunchbox
Can't do that.
Bobby Bones
And the cop said it caused pain, so he placed her under arrest.
Scuba Steve
What? I mean, she was.
Lunchbox
You can't slap a cop on the butt.
Scuba Steve
Okay?
Lunchbox
If a guy did that to a girl.
Scuba Steve
I know, I know.
Amy
Jail time.
Scuba Steve
I know.
Lunchbox
Well, no, it would still be sexual harassment.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, you're right. Sorry.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Scuba Steve
This is wrong. She's a bonehead.
Bobby Bones
I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day.
Lunchbox
This guy's watching the local news. His name's Randy Waits. He noticed the guy being interviewed also had the last name Waits spelled exactly the same. So he called his daughter over and he's like, hey, that guy looks like my dad. She's like, okay. So she started digging on the Internet, mostly through social media. Then they started to go through some old, like, registry, birth certificate stuff, and found out that was his brother. He didn't even know until he saw him on tv.
Scuba Steve
Oh, my goodness.
Lunchbox
Until he saw him being interviewed. But it's weird they had the same last name, though. Yeah, because a lot of times this happens and somebody was adopted, the name was changed, but he had the same last name. And again, he just thought, that guy looks like my dad. And then he said, well, and we have the same last name. Is it possible? So they talked on the phone, they then reunited, and now they're brothers and they hang out, which is a whole new element. Like, you just have somebody who you hang out with because that's a hard thing because you have a lot of people in your life that you just know, but you don't have a lot of people that you just hang out as an adult. It's hard to make new friends that you just hang out with. So that's his new brother. Congratulations. He also did not know his dad that well and the other brother did, and so they're able to share that experience, too. I never want to chase that down on the news. I'd have been like, hey, look at that. That's last name. Last name.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Lunchbox
Looks like me. And I'd have forgot about it.
Amy
Moving on.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Five seconds later. That's from the New York Post. We will see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody. The Bobby Bones Show Happy New Year.
