Lunchbox / Daniel (2:08)

Here we go.

Bobby Bones (2:09)

Come on, Bobby.

Lauren Alina (2:10)

Bobby Bones transmitting across America.

Bobby Bones (2:15)

This is the Bobby Bones Show.

Lunchbox / Daniel (2:18)

Let's go.

Bobby Bones (2:18)

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday show Morning Studio.

Lunchbox / Daniel (2:22)

Morning, Bobby Bones.

Bobby Bones (2:24)

I mean, this is a school board meeting. And I saw this. I was like, cannot believe this happened. They have launched a petition to remove a Washington County Board of Education member and the district's superintendent over comments made toward a student during an early April meeting. During a BoE meeting that was streamed on YouTube, a board member, Keith Irvin, according to WSNV, can be heard saying the following to a student he was sitting next to. God, you're hot.

Cheryl Strayed (2:52)

No.

Bobby Bones (2:54)

Okay, I'm gonna play you a clip. This is about 30 seconds. Here you go. God, you're hot.

Lunchbox / Daniel (3:00)

You know that? Where do you go school at?

Lauren Alina (3:03)

I have a Crockett.

Lunchbox / Daniel (3:04)

All right. There was a comment meant to be, I guess, complimentary by a board member, but. But has certainly been been determined not to be.

J (3:16)

The school superintendent says because the student was not in immediate danger, they kept that meeting going. And some parents say that that member'.

Bobby Bones (3:25)

Acceptable. Yeah. You're an adult. A student sits next to you. Go, God, you're hot.

J (3:30)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (3:31)

And that clip started with the actual audio before the news story. So will you play just the part again? You can hear her. She's uncomfortable, but then she's like, okay, God, you're hot.

Lunchbox / Daniel (3:40)

You know that? Where do you go school at?

Lauren Alina (3:44)

I have a Crockett.

Bobby Bones (3:45)

Don't tell them.

J (3:45)

No, no, no.

Bobby Bones (3:46)

Don't tell them where you go to school. Lie. Where do you live?

K (3:49)

Run away.

Bobby Bones (3:50)

How bizarre is that?

K (3:51)

You know what was crazy, too, is everyone there in the meeting started laughing.

J (3:55)

That's what some people do when things are uncomfortable, but then that's sometimes when we're uncomfortable and then we laugh. That's what makes it. Also, they feel like, oh, this is an acceptable thing to say.

Bobby Bones (4:07)

God, you're hot.

J (4:08)

Yeah, man.

Bobby Bones (4:08)

I saw the deranged. Like, I'm assuming she's.

J (4:12)

She's in high school.

K (4:13)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (4:14)

You saw what.

K (4:14)

I saw the clip, and I started thinking, like, okay, could. Could I. Maybe we missed something before where they're talking about temperature or like.

Bobby Bones (4:21)

Like something. Because this is so.

J (4:24)

Yeah.

K (4:24)

Blunt and wrong.

Bobby Bones (4:26)

It's so inappropriate.

J (4:27)

Is she sweating? Oh, is he like. I'm thinking, if that was my husband or my dad, I am mortified. You know?

Bobby Bones (4:36)

Oh, dear. Hot to a kid, like a student and you're on a board member. He's not a. No, it's a board of education. Yes. During a BOE Board of Education meeting that was streamed on YouTube, board member can be heard saying, God, you're hot. Yeah. Keith Irvin.

K (4:51)

And this is in Texas, right? Tennessee or Tennessee.

J (4:55)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (4:55)

Yeah. Dang. Should I throw Texas under the bus?

K (4:57)

No, no.

Bobby Bones (4:58)

Because Texas didn't do anything. You're just sitting there because I heard

K (5:00)

Washington county, and you automatically think, oh, it's from Washington.

Bobby Bones (5:03)

So that was the first story. Next up, toddler's hand was caught in a wolf's mouth after the todd climbed into a restricted area at Hershey park in Pennsylvania, basically a zoo. And they're mad at the parents because the parents were distracted by their phones. So I hear you, yes. Parents bad. But also, shouldn't we make it harder for toddlers to get to where the wolf is?

J (5:27)

Maybe.

Bobby Bones (5:28)

Yeah, yeah, I feel like that there's a lot of blame here to go around. The child slipped through an opening in the wooden barrier and entered a restricted area near the wolf exhibit on Saturday. According to the Derry Township police department, the 17 month old was wounded. After reaching through the metal fencing, one of the wolves in the enclosure instinctively and naturally grabbed onto the toddler's hand. We gotta make it harder for kids to get to the wolf. Several bystanders rushed in to pull the kid away from the wolf. The child's parents were only alerted the incident when commotion erupted from near the enclosure. Yeah, the parents got to pay attention to. It's a. Yeah, you're to zoo. Everybody loses here. Everybody's bad. Bad, bad, bad on everybody. Make it harder. Pay attention to your kid. If the kid's 11, I get it. If the kid's 7, I get it. You can run. This is a young kid, a 17 month old. The couple had walked about 25 to 30ft away from the toddler to a bench area and was focused on their cell phones. That's bad. But also we got to make sure that you can't slip in and have a wolf bite your hand. You're right.

K (6:28)

A little bit of both.

Bobby Bones (6:29)

Am I crazy for thinking that?

J (6:30)

No, I think it's. Yeah. And they're probably going to now come up with a better plan.

Bobby Bones (6:35)

I'll give you one more. A human skull was discovered during an Easter egg hunt in California.

Lunchbox / Daniel (6:39)

Oh.

J (6:40)

Oh, no.

Bobby Bones (6:41)

By a child, I would have thought. This is the big prize. I found the big A skull. An investigation is underway in Long beach after a family discovered possible human remains during an Easter egg hunt. The discovery, which included a human skull, was made in the middle of the family's holiday tradition. The family was, of course, shocked and in distress. That's crazy. That's from CBS News.

J (7:03)

But maybe for someone who's been looking

Bobby Bones (7:06)

still, of all those. I'm telling you what the craziest one. God, you're hot. That's still the craziest of a human skull being found and a kid getting eaten by a wolf. God, you're hot. Is still the craziest of all those stories.

J (7:15)

I'm. I'm trying to. I'm already zooming in on the BOE meeting. I want to see the guy that. I mean, this is a room full of, like, adults.

Bobby Bones (7:27)

Yeah, who says that to even an adult that sits next to them? Just imagine you're in a meeting and a 25 year old, a 32 year old. When would you look at the. God, you're hot. Like, you don't even say that. That one. That one wins over the skull and the wolf eating the kid.

J (7:44)

I don't know what time BOE meetings are, but. Check his cup.

K (7:48)

You think he's drunk?

Bobby Bones (7:51)

Just chat, please.

J (7:55)

Like, how? Where?

Bobby Bones (7:56)

Just check. God, you're hot. That's crazy. All right, There's a question to be had into the. Hello, Bobby Bones. Last week, my friend hit me with a horrible April Fool's joke. I have not spoken to her since my dog went missing about a year ago. It was one of the hardest things I've gone through. Yesterday, my friend texted me that she thought she had seen my dog. I was completely overwhelmed. She realized it hit me hard and said, sorry, it's April Fool's joke. She thought I'd be funny. Is that completely out of line for a joke? Would I be irrational to end our friendship over this? Signed, April fooled as a bad joke. As someone who's made bad jokes, it's a bad joke. I don't think it's worth ending your friendship over. It's a bad joke. I think they were probably trying to be funny, realized they went way too far, way too quick. Hopefully they apologized. If they did, I think you can stay friends. That's a bad joke, though, that. You know what's another bad joke? Hey, when a woman goes, I'm pregnant.

K (9:05)

Well, that's not.

Bobby Bones (9:05)

Especially if you're not, like, expecting and especially if you are, like, wanting. Like, if you don't want, it's a bad joke. If you do want, it's a bad joke. But there's not a good way to do that joke. And also, the dog, that's just. I know.

J (9:17)

Very odd.

Bobby Bones (9:18)

I know it's an odd joke.

J (9:20)

You know, like, I. I saw a husband calling his wife, acting like he was doing a collect call from jail. And he's like, you know, he had a recording, so.

K (9:29)

You did.

J (9:30)

Yeah, I saw it on online. Like, those are the April Fool's jokes that are funny. Like, that's where we go.

Bobby Bones (9:36)

We don.

J (9:37)

Saw your missing dog from a year ago.

Lauren Alina (9:39)

What?

K (9:40)

But not everyone's A comedian. You know, they don't really know.

J (9:43)

Like, no, I don't know.

K (9:45)

You're trying to be funny on April Fool's. What's your first time?

Bobby Bones (9:47)

We just saw your mom, Nancy Guthrie, in Arizona.

K (9:49)

Right.

Bobby Bones (9:49)

That's a mean joke. You can't do that.

J (9:51)

So, like, yeah, just pretend you got Savannah.

Bobby Bones (9:54)

We got your not funny.

J (9:56)

Like, there. There are more dramatic, funnier things. And to your point, Bobby, if. If. If they truly are sorry and they want to make amends, that you can still be friends. And I think they'll hopefully have learned their lesson.

Bobby Bones (10:10)

What are they thinking making that joke? No way is that joke funny.

J (10:13)

I don't know.

Bobby Bones (10:14)

Okay, here's what we say about this. You can accept an apology and still be friends. That's some bad judgment on their part. I keep one eye open. That's a yellow flag on the friendship.

J (10:22)

Yeah, but if they're like, it was just a joke, what's the big deal then? Okay, yeah, maybe you don't need to be there.

Bobby Bones (10:28)

All right, there you go.

Lunchbox / Daniel (10:29)

Close it up, Bones.

Bobby Bones (10:31)

My wife doesn't send a lot of clips. She sent this one. It's awesome. She used to work as a janitor at the hospital. Now she's a doctor there.

J (10:37)

Oh, yes.

Lauren Alina (10:38)

This is awesome.

J (10:39)

Great story.

Bobby Bones (10:40)

Hit that. Shay Taylor Allen is celebrating something remarkable. She will be an anesthesiology resident at Yale New Haven Hospital, the same place she was born and where she worked for 10 years as a janitor.

Cheryl Strayed (10:55)

A lot of people wouldn't even speak to me in a hospital as a janitor.

Lauren Alina (10:58)

Like, they'll go like this and walk

Cheryl Strayed (11:00)

away because you're just the janitor.

Bobby Bones (11:02)

She says while working as a jan, she studied for her undergraduate degree before going to medical school. How crazy is that? What a great story.

J (11:10)

Such a great story.

Bobby Bones (11:11)

She started the custodial job at age 18 to support her family. She pursued medicine. She went to Howard University College of Medicine, went back to the same hospital as a physician in training. And she's from Connecticut. That's from CNN and at Shay Taylor. But that is an A plus story.

J (11:28)

And Google it, because the side by side photos of her working as a janitor and then her as a physician. It's so cool to see.

Bobby Bones (11:34)

And she had her name tag. They showed her name tag when she was a janitor.

Lauren Alina (11:36)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (11:37)

Excellent. Did you see the story about the Domino's delivery guy? The pizza guy? So there's this guy, and they show the. Like, the ring cam. And so he's around 70 years old. He delivered for Domino's in Boise. And so the person had asked when they ordered, hey, is there any way I can get, like, Diet Cokes? But the restaurant ran out. So the guy that was delivering the pizza went to the store and got him himself.

J (12:00)

Oh, wow.

Bobby Bones (12:02)

Yes. And so he. They posted that video of him coming on the ring cam. And so they raised $40,000 for my donations.

J (12:11)

Oh, my.

Bobby Bones (12:11)

So cool.

J (12:12)

Elderly delivery or delivery people. It's like, it gets me every time. And these stories. I can't. It's so special.

Bobby Bones (12:21)

So, yeah, Dan Simpson decided to go to the store since they were out and just get them. And he grabbed a pair of 2 liter bottles and he delivered them. And so the guy was like, guys, you're never gonna believe what this guy did. And so people just started donating money. $45,000 over eight days. New York posted that story.

J (12:39)

I love that.

Bobby Bones (12:40)

It's awesome. So I know we played that God, you're hot video a minute ago. I just wanted to hit it with some. With some good stuff too.

J (12:47)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (12:47)

Do you miss that? The school board member and they. The student sits down. He's like, God, you're hot. Would you play that again? God, you're hot.

Lunchbox / Daniel (12:53)

You know that? Where do you go school at?

Lauren Alina (12:57)

I have a rocket. All right.

J (12:59)

I feel like. Did he throw a damn in there?

K (13:01)

He did. He followed up with that.

Bobby Bones (13:04)

This is a school board member where a student was sitting next to him, and he goes, God, you're hot. And they got it on the stream of the school board meeting. Anyway, so shout out to the pizza guy and to the woman who became a doctor where she was a janitor. That feels very Matt Damon goodwill hunting.

Lunchbox / Daniel (13:19)

Oh, it does.

J (13:20)

Such a full circle.

Bobby Bones (13:21)

Yeah.

J (13:22)

Moment.

Bobby Bones (13:22)

That's a good one. I Lunchbox out sick again today, But I wanted to bring him on and talk to him so you guys could actually hear this because you guys don't know anything. Right.

Lunchbox / Daniel (13:31)

Thing.

Bobby Bones (13:31)

All right. This is Lunchbox, by the way, his voice is totally screwed up. Lunchbox.

Lunchbox / Daniel (13:35)

Good morning. How are we doing?

Bobby Bones (13:36)

Oh, he's okay.

K (13:37)

That's better.

Bobby Bones (13:37)

Okay.

Lunchbox / Daniel (13:38)

Yeah, I'm not bad. Hey, I'm not bad. You guys are exaggerating.

Bobby Bones (13:41)

All right, all right. You're not here again today as.

Lunchbox / Daniel (13:45)

No, I'm absent.

Bobby Bones (13:46)

Yeah. Do you want to tell the studio what you have?

Lunchbox / Daniel (13:49)

Yeah. Guys, I got a little sickness. I went to the minute clinic. They did a little swabby swab. And congratulations, your boy has got Covid.

J (14:03)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (14:04)

Again. Yeah. How'd you. How do you think you got it?

J (14:06)

I guessed It.

Lunchbox / Daniel (14:07)

Ah, man, there's one a million ways. I mean, last week I was on top of the world. Had a watch party with all these people at my house and a lot of germs. So maybe from that, maybe from the kids, maybe from baseball games. I mean, who knows? A lot of people in my life that could have given me those little germs.

Bobby Bones (14:25)

Do you think you're sick a lot?

Lunchbox / Daniel (14:27)

No, I don't. I really don't.

K (14:30)

How do you not think that?

Bobby Bones (14:31)

He misses about a show every two weeks, right? Yes.

Lunchbox / Daniel (14:34)

I mean, I did. I did have strep, like a month and a half ago. That was. That was bad, but.

Bobby Bones (14:38)

And then you had. Besides that yeast infection in his throat.

J (14:44)

It's been a minute.

Lunchbox / Daniel (14:44)

I did have a yeast infection in my throat, yeah. I mean, but I wouldn't say I'm sick a lot. I just think that it stands out more because I actually admit when I'm sick, you know? Whereas Amy, she just comes to work and just. Ah, don't worry about it. I'll just act like I'm not sick.

J (14:59)

Does anybody in your family have coveted as well?

Lunchbox / Daniel (15:02)

No.

J (15:03)

Oh. So are you quarantining?

Bobby Bones (15:05)

Amy didn't even take the shot. Yeah, she just moved on. Like, she didn't respond. She just moved.

Lunchbox / Daniel (15:10)

I know.

K (15:10)

I noticed that.

Bobby Bones (15:11)

Ah, good for you.

J (15:11)

Thank you.

Bobby Bones (15:12)

Like, he's. I know, Trying to deflect and.

Lunchbox / Daniel (15:14)

Yeah, but. But I mean, you got to give me my flowers. Because I did feel a tickle in my throat, and I immediately thought, oh, man, Bobby's baby. I gotta get out of here. I mean, that was brave of me. I could have stuck it out.

Bobby Bones (15:28)

You didn't think Bobby's baby. We heard the voicemail that you sent Scuba. You were like, bobby's gonna kill me. Yes, but anybody that's sick, I don't

J (15:35)

want to risk it.

Bobby Bones (15:36)

You're not allowed to come up here if you're sick. But he has Covid. And you're not coming back this week, right?

Lunchbox / Daniel (15:41)

I don't know.

K (15:45)

What are you feeling, man?

Bobby Bones (15:46)

You lose your voice? You lose your taste of your taste and smell or anything?

Lunchbox / Daniel (15:50)

No, I haven't done any of that, but I'm really stopped up. Really? Like just drainage and just like, oh. And I mean, I just felt kind of crummy. You know what I mean? Slept a lot yesterday. Just kind of, you know, I was like, ah, man, I don't know why I'm so tired. And so finally I was like, maybe I need to go to the minute clinic. And I went and they were. The lady was like, well, I don't think it's the flu, but you want me to swab you for covert just in case? I was like, yeah, why not?

J (16:12)

And so interesting. The Minute Clinic. Like, I. My first move. I'm curious what y' all do is I go get a COVID test or flu test? Two in one.

Bobby Bones (16:22)

Yeah.

J (16:23)

And.

Bobby Bones (16:23)

And Walker Ranger cvs.

J (16:24)

And then I take it, and then I know.

Bobby Bones (16:26)

Yeah.

J (16:26)

So it's just. I don't know. It's interesting. I guess he's just so used to

Bobby Bones (16:30)

going to the Minute Clinic. He goes, professional. He has an open bar, a tab at the Minute Clinic.

J (16:38)

Hey, Daniel.

Bobby Bones (16:41)

Daniel from Price is Right. Yeah.

Lauren Alina (16:47)

Hey.

Lunchbox / Daniel (16:47)

She did say. She goes, I've seen you before. I knew it. We were old friends. I was like, yeah. And the urgent care right by my house. She always asked me, oh, how you doing? How are the kids? Like, they know it's by. You know?

Bobby Bones (16:58)

Yeah. You're like, are you dying right now?

K (17:01)

Sounds like.

Lunchbox / Daniel (17:04)

No, I'm not dying right now.

Bobby Bones (17:05)

Do you feel bad right now, or you just stopped up?

Lunchbox / Daniel (17:08)

Stopped up? I don't know. I took some Advil, you know, a little bit ago, so it feels. I feel all right right now, but I woke up feeling pretty crummy.

Bobby Bones (17:17)

All right, anything else, guys? We just want to get him on and say hi and let you know, he has Kobe.

K (17:21)

I just want to make sure that he's not coming back for the rest of the week.

Lunchbox / Daniel (17:24)

I'd probably come back tomorrow, maybe.

J (17:26)

No, because Covid. What's the rule? Five days?

Bobby Bones (17:28)

I don't even think a month. I. I thought Covid went away and, like, didn't exist.

J (17:32)

No, my friend had it last week.

Bobby Bones (17:34)

Yeah.

Lunchbox / Daniel (17:34)

So she sound like me?

J (17:36)

Yeah, she was pretty bad. Like, it knocked her down.

Lunchbox / Daniel (17:38)

Yeah, that's what the doctor said. She said she's using the. She said she's a couple a week, and it's really. You're stopped up really bad. She goes, there's so many variants, but it's not as bad as it used to be, where it just kills you. But, yeah, I mean, we're. We're rocking and rolling.

Bobby Bones (17:51)

All right, we'll keep rock and rolling at home.

J (17:53)

And he would like flowers for not coming in.

Bobby Bones (17:55)

He said he wants his flowers for not exposing us to the flu or any other illness. Covid. All right, well, we're. We're hoping you get better. Hey, are more people surprised your name is Daniel since you went on the prices, right?

Lunchbox / Daniel (18:06)

Yeah, yeah, but we don't say that anymore. We. We've moved on. We don't use that name anymore. We're back to Lunchbox.

Bobby Bones (18:12)

Are we?

K (18:12)

No, I kind of like Daniel.

Bobby Bones (18:14)

I kind of like Daniel, too.

K (18:15)

It's like a fresh.

Lunchbox / Daniel (18:15)

No, no, guys, no. Stop. We're not doing that crap. We're not changing my name all of a sudden. How boring is that? Like, no, no, I figured you'd want that.

K (18:23)

Lunchbox. Like, just, you know, I wanna. I wanna be me now.

Bobby Bones (18:25)

Dan. Box.

Lunchbox / Daniel (18:26)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why. Why would we do that? That's just dumb.

Bobby Bones (18:31)

All right, all right.

Lunchbox / Daniel (18:32)

Lunchbox.

Bobby Bones (18:33)

We will.

Lunchbox / Daniel (18:33)

Hey, so you want me there tomorrow?

Bobby Bones (18:35)

I don't think by listening to you now, it's good for you to come in tomorrow. Like, we can play it by ear, but I don't. I don't know.

J (18:43)

Playing this one by ear. He can't. You have a baby. He's not. Tomorrow's too soon.

K (18:47)

Can't risk it.

Lauren Alina (18:48)

Maybe. Maybe.

Lunchbox / Daniel (18:49)

Amy, I have three kids. What do you. I mean, I have babies and you came into the studio. Don't worry about it. You didn't worry about my kids.

J (18:56)

Bobby's baby is.

Bobby Bones (18:57)

But I don't know that. I don't know that.

J (18:59)

A newborn.

Bobby Bones (19:00)

He had newborns. And you were sick. That's what he's trying to say.

J (19:03)

Correct.

Bobby Bones (19:03)

He said you came in and you were sick.

J (19:05)

I know. I don't know what these random shots towards me are, but it's okay. We'll just.

Bobby Bones (19:09)

Just.

J (19:09)

We'll just state the facts here, that Bobby has a new baby.

K (19:13)

So if he does come in, though, can we do what we did last time? Put him in another studio?

J (19:17)

Oh, yeah, that's an option.

K (19:18)

Yeah, that's always good.

Bobby Bones (19:19)

Or we just have him. Just turn him up from home with his phone.

K (19:22)

It's true. We could do that too.

Bobby Bones (19:23)

We go to the Daniel lines. Let's go. We got Daniel.

Lunchbox / Daniel (19:27)

Oh, my gosh. You got. Yeah. Lunchboxes here hanging out. But if you're interested in what I'm doing right now, I'm. I'm re. Watching season two of Hacks because I turned on season three, and I was like, I don't remember any of this. So I. I know I've watched season two, but I'm having to re. Watch it.

Bobby Bones (19:43)

So what if when he's being normal, he's Daniel. But if it's like, you're going lunchbox on us.

K (19:47)

That's funny.

Bobby Bones (19:48)

Yeah. Like, when he goes, like, over.

Lunchbox / Daniel (19:50)

It's not funny, guys. It's not funny.

Bobby Bones (19:52)

Oh, when he gets angry, like, he sounds like Daniel sick because he's a little vulnerable. Definitely.

Lunchbox / Daniel (19:58)

People are going to tune in and not know what you're talking about. Like, I mean, we don't do that. We don't just change after 22 years.

Bobby Bones (20:04)

I would say if you don't change, you end up going the way of the dodo bird.

J (20:08)

Yeah, you're not evolving. You're dead.

K (20:10)

Remember Ray changed him to Raymundo.

Cheryl Strayed (23:12)

Liberty.

Bobby Bones (23:12)

Liberty. Go on the Bobby Bones show now. Lauren Alina.

Lauren Alina (23:18)

And when I would push, Benny's heart rate plummeted, and they couldn't figure why. So her umbilical cord was wrapped around her head twice and up under her shoulder and then between her legs. So when I would push, it was pulling.

Bobby Bones (23:32)

Wow. Did you know that as was happening?

Lauren Alina (23:34)

No, but I knew something was not right. So I was very scared. It was very scary. It happens a lot, I think.

Bobby Bones (23:40)

I can't imagine she was fully wrapped.

Lauren Alina (23:42)

She was like. Part of me thinks, you know, the. I never knew anything about childbirth until I was getting prepared to have one. And basically, the way, like, your cervix and all the things like the way you dilate and stuff is the baby's head, like, burrows down. So I'm wondering, because she was so wrapped up, if that's why I went so far past my due date. Because she wasn't able to do what she needed to do to, like, prepare my body for birth. But they basically told me not to push until the doctor got there. I wasn't. The doctor came in and told me all these things that we were going to have to do to get her out. Forceps. And there's, like, this vacuum that they can use, and they're telling me this, and I look up at my husband and I'm just, like, scared to death, you know, I mean, it's scary Anyway, but then that started happening, and I was like, oh, my gosh. And I was like, what? And then they were. And she was so far down in the birth canal that they would have had to push her back up for a C section. So they said that really wasn't the greatest choice at that point either. So then we're, like, having to pick the best of not great choices. And I'm not kidding. It scared me so much. So for them to do any of those things, you. They. You have to push for the doctor to kind of assess. And then they would do, like, bring in the force. And she was also sideways, so he said he couldn't do the vacuum. So you push. And then they, like, clamp on her head and pull her out, which is so graphic. I'm sorry, but it scared me so bad. He said, well, we're gonna do. I want you to push as hard as you can, and I just kind of want to see the position of her head. And then you're gonna relax, and then we'll do it again, and we're gonna get her out. And I looked up at my husband. I will never forget it. Something happened to me, and I pushed her out. Like, they did not have to use anything. Like, something happened to me. They scared me so bad. You know, you see those videos of people, like, lifting cars off of their children. I had that experience, and so it just scared me. And I pushed her out. I pushed twice, and she was out.

Bobby Bones (25:30)

When you heard her cry, were you like, oh, my God.

Lauren Alina (25:32)

It. That right now will make me weep because I was so scared that she wasn't gonna be okay. And I heard her. Well, first they. I. You know, I'm watching. Like, I see them pull her out, and he's doing this to my baby, like, untangling my child. Like, I see the doctor untangling. He was like, she's really tangled. And I'm like, is she okay? And my husband is hysterically sobbing. And I'm like, look. And they laid her on. She didn't cry immediately. They, like, suctioned out of her mouth, and she went. And I literally have never heard a more beautiful sound. It that my life changed instantly in that second when I. I mean, looking at her, just like, yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. So it was scary. And then that. The reward of getting. I literally, like, never wanted them to take her away from me. I was like, where is. I didn't even want them to weigh her. They were like, well, we have to weigh her. And I was like, no, you Don't. I was like. Because I was so scared.

Bobby Bones (26:31)

You know, on the Bobby Bones show. Now, Lauren, Elena, you were gifted to Bronco by Rascal Vlads.

Lauren Alina (26:39)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (26:40)

I saw the picture.

Lauren Alina (26:41)

It's real. They blindfolded us and took us out to the garage. And I was like, maybe they got us a golf cart or something. I don't know. And then they cranked up this. These cars. And then I still was like, they're gonna put us in these cars and take us somewhere. And then I realized that that was my car.

Bobby Bones (26:56)

They were giving you the car.

Lauren Alina (26:57)

They gave us the car, Shipped it. I mean, we didn't drive them home from there, obviously, because we had more shows. So they shipped the cars like they just. One day I walked outside, and it was in my driveway.

Bobby Bones (27:07)

Is that the greatest tour gift you've ever gotten?

J (27:09)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (27:09)

I mean, that's. That. That's insane. That's awesome. Well, I appreciate you talking about all that stuff with me.

Lauren Alina (27:14)

Oh, my gosh. And I'm. I'm here if you have any questions.

Bobby Bones (27:18)

And my wife says same thing about you. She's like. She's so grateful that you've reached out and. And been.

Lauren Alina (27:22)

She's asked me a couple questions. I'm like, there are no dumb questions, because you don't, you know, nothing. You have this baby. Get back to the nurse thing. You have this baby, and these people help you bring this baby into the world. And then they're like, here's how the car seat goes in the car. Good luck.

Bobby Bones (27:35)

Then you go home, you're like, where do I put it?

Lauren Alina (27:37)

Where does it go? Yeah, but there, you know. And I told her about this little thing that we laid Benny in. I told her about. It's like a pillow. Do y' all have it?

Bobby Bones (27:46)

Probably. We have.

Lauren Alina (27:47)

There's, like, a little indentation in the center of it.

Bobby Bones (27:49)

Oh, we do have that.

Lauren Alina (27:50)

Yeah, I told her to get that.

Bobby Bones (27:51)

We do have that.

Lauren Alina (27:52)

I'm trying to think of what it's called, but I sent her the Lincoln stuff.

Bobby Bones (27:54)

May 2nd, you're doing the iHeart Country Festival.

Lauren Alina (27:56)

I.

Bobby Bones (27:57)

It's a big show. Everybody should get tickets. Ticketmaster.com. final question. What's the best thing about being a mom?

Lauren Alina (28:03)

Oh, man, there's so many wonderful things. The way she loves me. Just the most pure, innocent love. The way she, like, looks at me and needs me. And, like, there's nothing like it. Just to know that I am. And my husband, too. But it's different with the mother a little bit. But I am the number One person in her life. And I don't like, just, yeah. Oh, my goodness. And she says mama. And that was her first word. And that was pretty good.

Bobby Bones (28:38)

Thank you, Lauren. I think I've seen every episode of Friends over the years live. When it was on back in the day and then on tbs. I think I've seen every single episode probably numerous times. I was watching Lisa Kudrow. Who played Lisa.

J (28:53)

Oh, Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe.

Bobby Bones (28:56)

Yeah, she played Lisa.

J (28:58)

I don't know if my brain was like, she played Lisa, but that's who she is.

Bobby Bones (29:01)

She said that she. Whenever they were going through contract negotiations, they made her feel like the sixth friend that they could always kick off. Oh, like you're the worst friend. We could easily. And she was thankful that they all got together and did their contract negotiation together because everybody kept telling her, we can get rid of you very easily. You're the one that doesn't matter. All right, so I was thinking about ranking the Friends in order based off. And I don't put Lisa. Lisa. Now. I think her name.

J (29:25)

Sorry, Phoebe.

Bobby Bones (29:26)

I don't put Phoebe. It's so.

Lauren Alina (29:28)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (29:28)

At number one in the overall ranking, I think you have to put Rachel. Jennifer Aniston. If I'm ranking the Friends, the number one draft pick is going to be Rachel Green. Jennifer Aniston. And because of that and because of the storyline, you have to put Ross at 2. Because a lot of that story on that show was Ross and Rachel on. If they're going to get back together, they're going to stay together, they're going to get married. So I put Ross there. Wasn't my favorite character, but Rachel's at one. Ross is at two. At number three, I put Chandler.

J (30:01)

Oh, really?

Bobby Bones (30:02)

Funniest one on the show. He was funny, didn't know his job.

J (30:05)

Okay, you.

Bobby Bones (30:05)

You put Monica over Chandler.

Lauren Alina (30:07)

Nope.

Bobby Bones (30:07)

Oh. So I put. I put Chandler at three. I put Monica at four. She had some good arcs. Yeah, she was a chef.

Lunchbox / Daniel (30:15)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (30:16)

She dated Jon Favreau.

K (30:19)

Tom Selleck.

Bobby Bones (30:20)

Tom Selleck. Yeah. Then her and Chandler got together, and then I put Phoebe at 5 and Joey at 6. I felt like Joey, all of them were valuable. And I'm not hating on Joey either, but I feel like his character was the most discardable of all. So there's a point. I don't think she was as strong as the other four because they made her character very dopey. Like almost not real. So it didn't seem as real. Like you didn't connect to it as much. Same with Joey. Like, how you doing?

J (30:49)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (30:50)

So I put Joey at six. So I'm gonna go Phoebe at five, Joey at six. Why? Where did you.

J (30:55)

I mean, I would put probably Monica and Chandler towards the bottom and Phoebe and Joey in the middle.

K (31:00)

Really?

Bobby Bones (31:01)

Did you even watch the show?

J (31:02)

I watched every episode.

Bobby Bones (31:04)

Their storylines weren't that good. They tried the Joey spin off though, and it was terrible. Okay, well, you think Joey and Phoebe were better than Monica and Chandler?

J (31:12)

I can't speak to why. Monica definitely just was never. I. I like Courtney Hawks and I like Monica.

Bobby Bones (31:19)

She's not listening. You're good. You're free to say whatever you want.

J (31:22)

Especially now. She's so funny on Instagram.

Bobby Bones (31:24)

If you want to play drums.

J (31:26)

Yes.

Bobby Bones (31:26)

She's like, learn how to play drums. So she plays drums.

K (31:28)

Awesome.

J (31:29)

She does these skits. Like, she's very talented. I. She just wasn't. That wasn't my favorite character on the show.

Bobby Bones (31:35)

You didn't like how clean she was and type A personality, you know, think Chandler was the funniest one on the show.

J (31:42)

I mean, he's very funny.

Bobby Bones (31:43)

Trying to convince her, trying to sway her back over.

J (31:45)

There's a right or wrong here, but I'm with you on the top too. And then the. I'm not though, on the bottom floor.

Bobby Bones (31:51)

I think Ross was kind of, kind of boring and kind of a crappy character. But because that story with him and Rachel, Jennifer Aniston's character, that was through the whole episode one till it ended.

J (32:00)

It's a big arc.

Bobby Bones (32:01)

So I just did not. I hated that that Lisa Kudrow or Phoebe felt that way. She was talking about that doing press now for a new show or something. I was on TikTok and I saw a clip and I was like, that looks familiar. And it was our old studio and Little Big Town, they were doing boondocks Acapella in our studio. And it wasn't on any of our TikToks. It was just somebody who had clipped it and was playing it. So I sent it to Mike. This is from 2014. We had only been in town a year or so. And so all four of Little Big Town. Because I love that song. And I think I was like, will you guys do it Acapella? So I just wanted to play it because I saw the clip and I was like, this is so good. Oh, that's from us. So here's Little Big Town doing it. You get a line, I get a pole. We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole. Five ton poker On Saturday night. Church on Sunday.

Brianna Stewart (32:47)

Man.

Bobby Bones (33:19)

In.

Lunchbox / Daniel (33:27)

Morning.

Lauren Alina (33:29)

That is hilarious.

Lunchbox / Daniel (33:32)

Fun.

Bobby Bones (33:33)

We only been here a year. We were pups.

J (33:34)

Good times.

Bobby Bones (33:35)

Yeah. Can't wait for them to have new music. So a little big town there on Tik Tok. And I was like, man, that's so good. Oh, we did that. We didn't sing it, but we. We there on our show Bones wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Amy, Lunchbox, Morgan, too scow. Mike D's riding his wigs. Next bit now Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Bone Store. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

J (34:20)

Why did the zombie take a nap?

Bobby Bones (34:22)

Why?

J (34:23)

He was dead tired.

Bobby Bones (34:29)

That was the morning corny. All right. Voicemail.

Lunchbox / Daniel (34:34)

I heard the story about the guy with his first pregnancy being triplets. That actually happened to us as well. First pregnancy. They were like, oh, we see two of them. Oh, we actually see three of them. And we're like, wow. So, yeah, insane. And it was naturally conceived. It was also an accident, but. All right, have a good one.

Bobby Bones (34:52)

I was talking about we have a baby, a single baby. And that is a lot of work. And I am exhausted at the end of the night because as soon as I get home, all the attention is on the baby. And it's feeding the baby, changing the baby. It's just attention. It's like a road trip. You don't know why you're tired, but you're exhausted after eight or nine hours of it. And so I was talking about kickoff. Kevin, who works on our sports shows, works behind the scenes here. He had twins as first babies, and I'm going two of those. But it's all he knows. He doesn't know one. This guy had three.

Lauren Alina (35:23)

Yeah.

J (35:23)

That's crazy.

Bobby Bones (35:24)

That is crazy. How do you have enough hands?

Lauren Alina (35:26)

Yeah.

K (35:27)

I mean, the family comes in, helps,

Bobby Bones (35:28)

but they don't live there. Like, if your family doesn't live there, how do they do it for a year? How? Diapers.

K (35:35)

It's tough.

Bobby Bones (35:35)

Diapers. Blows my mind at how many diapers you go through. So big shout out to this guy. How about that? Yeah. We think you're having twins. Wow. That's crazy. Easy. Wait a minute. Look behind there. There's another one. I'm sure it's awesome. And congratulations, by the way. If you guys want to leave us a voicemail. 8 7. 7 77. Bobby, you can hit another one.

Lunchbox / Daniel (35:56)

Wondering if Amy still cooks Any water on her stove. Or if she now resorts to microwave every time since she was so against it. Thanks, guys. Have a good day.

Bobby Bones (36:06)

There was a period where Amy did not have a microwave.

J (36:07)

Yeah, I have. I have a microwave now, but I still use my stovetop more. More like I have. If I need to heat water, I use a kettle.

Bobby Bones (36:15)

Dang Little House on the Prairie. Old school.

J (36:18)

That's not weird.

Bobby Bones (36:19)

Get your butter churner, too.

J (36:20)

Like, if you're gonna make tea, you just put it on the. In the kettle.

Bobby Bones (36:24)

I don't. I put anything in the microwave.

J (36:25)

Oh, really?

Bobby Bones (36:26)

And then I do sensor reheat. It's been the greatest addition in my life. I never have to put a time in the microwave. Ours has a button sensor reheat. You push it and then you push start, and then it just knows things

J (36:36)

also taste better when you put it in the pan and reheat on the stovetop.

Bobby Bones (36:40)

Agree. But takes longer.

Lauren Alina (36:42)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (36:42)

So how good does it taste if it takes another two days to heat it up?

J (36:46)

I know. I had to put my sty eye patch thing in the microwave the other day, and I posted on Instagram and I never got more engagement. I was like, what? Because people were shocked I had a microwave.

Bobby Bones (36:58)

Oh, that's why. It wasn't about your sty or your.

J (37:00)

No, it was more of loyal listeners that have been around a long time to miss the fact that I have a microwave because I guess I don't post about it, but I've had a microwave for. For several years now.

Bobby Bones (37:12)

Yeah. Voicemail us up 877 77. Bobby,

Hi, everyone. I'm Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and Tiny Beautiful Things. I'm excited to share that I have a new podcast called Mind Over Mountain. In each episode, I interview athletes, athletes, adventurers, and adrenaline seekers to discuss the inner landscapes and life experiences that informed and inspired their extraordinary feats. I also bring a bit of advice into the mix so we, too, can better understand how to face our own seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Bobby Bones (39:17)

Do you know what I'm gonna do?

Cheryl Strayed (39:18)

I'm gonna pull out what you already have inside. We come into this world fighting for our lives.

K (39:22)

All I'm gonna do is pull out

Bobby Bones (39:24)

what you already got inside side.

J (39:25)

We're there to support and celebrate each

Cheryl Strayed (39:27)

other, and that's not like a your

J (39:29)

story versus my story.

Cheryl Strayed (39:31)

You're gonna walk up and over that dang mountain. You're not just gonna put your mind over it.

Bobby Bones (39:35)

Yep, yep.

K (39:36)

Cheryl Strayed (39:39)

Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money.

Eating While Broke Host (39:53)

It's Financial literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.

Cheryl Strayed (40:10)

If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what today? Now, Obviously, it's like 100% that they believe everything, but at first, it was just like, you gotta go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Bobby Bones (40:48)

I haven't used Facebook a lot in the past few years. Use Instagram, same company. Use Twitter. Use TikTok. I kind of got back into Facebook a little bit. And so yesterday I'm on. I read two press releases about Mountain Pine High School where I went to school.

J (41:02)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (41:03)

One, we just hired a new principal. Hey. And I think he's gonna be pretty good. I don't know him, but I'm gonna tell you why I think he's pretty good. They do this whole long thing about his life, life. And he has a very long beard. Like I'm talking about ZZ Top, but it splits into two, like Dimebag Darrell type death metal beard. And if you're going to hire a principal that has a beard that long, they must be really good. Because if someone walks to an interview and they got this crazy long beard looks like they were in again, a metal band in the 80s, you're going, I don't know if this guy's for the school, but he must have been so good in the interview and have such a resume and change so many kids lives. You're like, like, beard be dang. This is the dude for us, right? I'm looking at it here. It says, and his name is Calvin Walker. Is that what it says, Mike? My eyes are so bad, guys, I'm telling you, I gotta get a new prescription. Yeah. Calvin Walker. Can you zoom in?

K (41:57)

Make it bigger.

Bobby Bones (41:59)

The Mountain Pine School district, because that's where I'm from. A town of about 700 people in Arkansas proud to announce that Mr. Calvin Walker has been accepted as the principal for Mountain Police Pine. He's not just an educator, he's a mentor. But you tell me that you see this guy walk in an interview, Mike, and you don't think that guy played in some sort of hardcore band back in the day? He kind of looks like the lead singer Disturbed, but with a bigger beard. Wow. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I think he's gonna be a great principal because he has that beard and they still hired him and he has like some sort of thing. He's like a. He has a traveling desk, he says, and he goes around. Anyway, I learned this all on Facebook. I never met the guy. Nobody messaged me about it. So that's number one. Also Since I enjoyed that, they fed me. Apparently we have a new football coach and I learned all about him. Never met him, but he was the offensive coordinator, apparently at the school. He coaches baseball. He had a picture of his wife and his son, and they had a son in the football uniform. And I'm like, I'm in. His son's already in the football uniform. So big things ahead for Mountain Pine.

J (43:01)

Things happening.

K (43:01)

Yeah, big things. Who's putting that press release out? Mountain Pine High School or what is it it? What's the account?

Bobby Bones (43:05)

I'm hoping it's not Facebook AI, because they lie a lot. Yeah. Mountain Pine School district's post. So.

J (43:13)

Yeah, that's their post.

K (43:15)

Yeah, got it.

J (43:15)

Yeah, the school post.

Bobby Bones (43:17)

Can I read a little about him? About this guy? Mountain Pine? It's time to get loud. We're beyond thrilled to announce that one of our own, Coach Alderman.

J (43:25)

Oh, so one of your. So, I mean, more than that. But like, he went there.

Bobby Bones (43:29)

I'm glad you asked because I read that too. I guess he graduated like six years after me. And he emphasizes being a multi sport athlete because it builds character, versatility. And also my theory is he coaches multiple sports, so he wants the good players to play multiple sports. But I'm in Facebook. You got me. I'm hooked. I'm small town in it. I'm back home.

J (43:48)

Isn't that necessary there to play multiple.

Bobby Bones (43:51)

We have like 11. 11 total kids, right? Yeah.

K (43:53)

You need that?

Bobby Bones (43:54)

Yeah, we need you. If you don't play multiple sports, we don't have multiple sports.

J (43:57)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (43:58)

So, yeah. My graduating class was in the 40s. I had like 45, 46 kids. And it was one of the largest graduating classes of like the past 20 years.

K (44:08)

Wow.

Bobby Bones (44:09)

Like, that was a big one. How many in your graduating class?

J (44:12)

Oh, I mean, hundreds and hundreds. We started off higher, but some people didn't make it. Like, I just remember, like, our freshman year, it was maybe 900 to 1,000 or something, and then we actually ended up with like 600.

Bobby Bones (44:25)

Okay, I'm not shaming the size of your school.

J (44:27)

No, I mean, it was definitely large.

Bobby Bones (44:29)

Yeah. What classification were you?

Lauren Alina (44:30)

You.

J (44:32)

The biggest one A. Oh, so you don't know? I do know.

Bobby Bones (44:35)

But you said the biggest one A.

J (44:37)

Tell me the triple.

Bobby Bones (44:38)

You mean like 5A is like small?

J (44:39)

Okay, what's the biggest one? 5A?

Bobby Bones (44:40)

Texas is different than Arkansas.

J (44:42)

I know, whatever. Texas biggest. I can't recall, but 5A, 5A.

Bobby Bones (44:46)

But you have like 5A, 5A double.

Lauren Alina (44:48)

No, we were.

J (44:49)

I'm telling you, my high School was big, so we had to be the big. Like one of the big.

Lauren Alina (44:54)

Yeah, we were.

Bobby Bones (44:55)

Hey, Bryker, I was just asking.

J (44:58)

And remember I've told you we were very diverse, a very diverse school. So I had similar. Like you said, there was a lot of gangs at your school. Same with mine.

Bobby Bones (45:06)

No, no, let me say mine again. We got kids that were kicked out of schools because they were in gangs. Like, we were one of the only schools in the county that would accept schools that were kicked out of bigger schools because there were gang related activities. So you would know when someone showed up. This happened a couple times. They had bullet holes in their car. You'd be like, oh, they must have been kicked out of Lake Hamilton Hot Springs for gang activity or something. Gang.

K (45:29)

So you guys were like, Australia?

Bobby Bones (45:31)

Yeah, the island where everybody goes. It's a prison island.

J (45:35)

So we had people like the governor's kids mixed with gang. First floor. They hung out on the first floor.

Bobby Bones (45:43)

Those opposite gangs, though. No, I know where you went to school. I live where you went to school.

J (45:46)

I was from East Austin. I swear to you. It was first floor. That's where they hung out. And then we were on the second floor. And then I feel like if you're

Bobby Bones (45:56)

separating floors, the gangs are on one floor. Those aren't real gangs.

J (45:59)

No, no, it was.

Bobby Bones (45:59)

We put the gangs on floor one. Where the elevators are.

J (46:02)

No, that's just naturally how people dispersed.

Bobby Bones (46:05)

Eddie, how many graduated in your class?

K (46:06)

700.

Bobby Bones (46:07)

Nice.

Lauren Alina (46:08)

Oh, so were you.

K (46:08)

Oh, we were a big.

J (46:09)

Were you 5A.

K (46:10)

5A. That was. That was our. I think that was the biggest.

Bobby Bones (46:13)

I'm jealous when you guys say you went to big schools. What makes me jealous of that is you had resources. Like we didn't have a baseball field. We had to go play at Jesseville's baseball field, which was embarrassing because our home games, we'd play them on their field and it'd be our home games because we didn't have a field. We didn't have a baseball field.

K (46:31)

The only thing we didn't have was a pool. And that was only located in one school.

Bobby Bones (46:34)

Like upstairs with the gangs?

K (46:35)

No, another school across town.

J (46:37)

No, the gang was downstairs.

Bobby Bones (46:39)

I totally messed that up. All the gang classes were downstairs. Gang 101.

J (46:44)

So between classes.

Bobby Bones (46:46)

Gang Algebra stabbing 101.

J (46:48)

Between classes, you would gather on your floor with your people and that's where they would gather.

Bobby Bones (46:54)

Measuring drugs. 102.

J (46:57)

Listen, you had to be there. I don't know if it's still like

Bobby Bones (47:00)

that, but Morgan, you.

Lauren Alina (47:02)

I Think our class was like 330 solid. So not as big as Eddie's, but somewhere in between, you kind of felt

J (47:09)

like you knew each other. Like the whole class.

Bobby Bones (47:12)

I'm looking at, I don't know, uil, University of Interscholastic League and how they. This is all Texas, right, Mike? Yeah, It's Texas. Texas 6A, 2000 plus students. Oh, dang.

J (47:24)

That was not us. I didn't know.

Bobby Bones (47:25)

I don't think. I don't know if it's graduating class. It could be entire high school.

Lauren Alina (47:28)

We were a 6A. So I wonder if that's like the entire high school.

Bobby Bones (47:32)

Probably.

Lauren Alina (47:33)

And then you're split up into different.

Bobby Bones (47:34)

Are you sure you are?

J (47:34)

Oh, well, then maybe. I think probably it's evolved. I was in high school, you know, 30 years ago.

Lunchbox / Daniel (47:42)

Yeah.

K (47:43)

Yeah.

J (47:43)

So I'm sure It's evolved to 6A. But it was 5A when I was there, and I. And yeah, who knows if gang members are still on the first floor?

K (47:53)

So since you only had 40 kids

Bobby Bones (47:55)

and that was a massive class for

K (47:57)

us, did the top 10 automatically go in, get accepted to, like, big schools?

Bobby Bones (48:01)

So different than Texas, where top 10%, I think, got into Texas automatically. No, I would say most did not go to college, just generally speaking. And if we. A lot of folks went to what we had, it was called Garland County Community College. And that was awesome because it was nearby and you could start and hopefully if you did well, you could go. So not a lot. Lot people went to work at the mill, but the mill's been closed now. Some did, some went to work. You know, it was very much that kind of town. But no, it wasn't that type of situation.

K (48:33)

Okay.

Bobby Bones (48:35)

I wasn't valedictorian, but I spoke twice at our graduation. I got a B in typing. It still haunts me to this day.

J (48:41)

So if you hadn't gotten the B in typing, would you have been valedictorian?

Bobby Bones (48:45)

I would have had a 4.0. I don't know if I. We didn't really have advanced classes either. You had. I went to Garlic County Community College as a senior to take classes that got me started in college early. But I don't know. And I didn't deserve it. I didn't deserve being valedictorian. I'd shove in too many lockers at that third locker. Got shoved in.

J (49:06)

But that's not you. Not deserving.

Bobby Bones (49:08)

Yeah, I had a big mouth, though.

J (49:09)

It was.

Bobby Bones (49:09)

I had a big mouth. House is problematic, Mike. What about you guys? Side School? We're like 300. It's always jealous because you guys had, like, real programs. Like. Like, we didn't have any sort of, like, I mean, broadcasting any sort of media. Did you guys have any of that?

K (49:24)

We did, but again, that was all because in my. In my town, there were three high schools. And so one school would have the. The broadcast TV station or whatever. One would have the pool. And then you'd have to commit. You'd have to drive back and forth if you went to that class.

Bobby Bones (49:37)

We didn't have a pool, but that wasn't even on the. The possibility list. We tried to get a baseball field. We did. We had a football field, but we had no track, so we had mud dirt around it. So that's what we trained on, was dirt until. And then we would just go run on a track at track meets. And dude, it was awesome because he felt like you were flying.

K (49:57)

It's not dirt.

Bobby Bones (49:58)

You've been running on dirt. What?

J (49:59)

I don't even know if we had a pool. Like, I'm trying to.

Bobby Bones (50:02)

The gang's probably took it over. You can't get down.

J (50:06)

Which I just googled it. And yes, it has evolved. Back in the day, we were 5A. And now fast forward all these years later, we're 6A.

Bobby Bones (50:14)

Anyway, Facebook kind of rocks. If you're looking for hometown stuff, man, it's cool. So congratulations to our new principal and football coach. Lobby Bone show, Bonehead. Still no lunchbox. Let's go over to Eddie now for the bonehead store. You got to start it like, lunchbox.

K (50:28)

Oh, I got to. This one comes to us from South Carolina. There's a woman who owns a local boutique, but it's online. Well, she's open for business. She's been taking orders. People that get their orders, they're waiting and waiting. They paid, but never got anything. So she just got arrested for scamming 15 people. So that's 15 arrests. That's 15 counts. She's going to jail. And unfortunately, the boutique is no longer taking orders.

Bobby Bones (50:55)

So the move is you take a bunch of money and then you fill those first door. It's like a. Like that Bernie Matt Madoff. Like, you always fill the orders of, like the group before and you keep the extra money. Oh, yes. So new people would sign up with him, Bernie Madoff, and then he would give them a little money and then he would keep. I don't know what he's.

J (51:18)

Yeah, no, he would use their.

Bobby Bones (51:19)

Like forgetting how he did it.

J (51:21)

Other people back.

Bobby Bones (51:22)

That's what it was. I didn't yeah. Thank you.

J (51:24)

The people later, they should have boutique, Bernie.

K (51:26)

Yeah, well, this lady, she didn't pay anybody.

Bobby Bones (51:28)

She didn't pay anyone.

J (51:28)

Oh, she's selling clothes.

K (51:30)

Beautiful clothes. Good stuff.

Lauren Alina (51:32)

Beautiful.

Bobby Bones (51:32)

You guys bailed me out of that Bernie Madoff explanation. Amy bought a cat once and didn't come.

K (51:38)

Oh, yeah, that was from another.

J (51:39)

It was a deposit in Louisiana.

K (51:42)

That's it.

J (51:43)

And I got it back as a cat boutique. Right.

Bobby Bones (51:45)

And then the. I think the lady heard us talking about it. She was going to scam Amy.

J (51:50)

Yeah. Something happened. It was definitely shady.

Bobby Bones (51:52)

So let me. Can I explain Bernie Madoff a little better? Because I really screw that up. Bernie Madoff ran the largest Ponzi scheme in history, using funds from new investors to pay consistent fabricated returns to existing clients. So what she should have done is when new people signed up at the boutique, she should have sent the old orders, their stuff, and then always said, one step. She shouldn't have done that. But that would have been the way to do it. You guys bailed me out on that. Thank you.

J (52:18)

Yeah. But I feel like what you said is. What?

Bobby Bones (52:20)

I don't know. I kind of screwed up. I'm kind of embarrassed of myself. I'm the bonehead today.

J (52:23)

Have you seen the Madoff thing there? It's on Netflix. You can watch. Watch it.

Bobby Bones (52:28)

I know.

K (52:28)

I think Amy's telling you, you should watch it.

Bobby Bones (52:30)

No, I need to explain it better next time. All right, There you go. Do it.

K (52:33)

I'm Eddie for Lunchbox for your bonehead story of the day.

Lunchbox / Daniel (52:36)

Bones.

Bobby Bones (52:37)

I want to tell you guys about this crazy cruise. Not our cruise, which we are doing again next year, but there is a cruise that goes all the way around the world. It leaves Los Angeles, comes back to Los Angeles. So all the way around the world, it's 100 days. Wow. Wow.

Lauren Alina (52:52)

Wait.

J (52:54)

Okay. Okay.

Bobby Bones (52:55)

That is so cool. It cost $16,000.

Narrator (52:57)

The journey begins in California, then crosses the Pacific to Hawaii with Kona and Honolulu, before continuing into the South Pacific and Fiji. From there, it reaches Australia before the route continues through the Western Pacific toward Asia. After that, it heads into the Indian Ocean. The route then turns north through the Atlantic, stopping in Cape Verie, Gran Canaria, Madeira, and South Africa, Hampton in England. After that comes an unforgettable crossing of the Atlantic Ocean before the ship reaches Barbados and Aruba, passes through the Panama Canal and finally returns to Los Angeles, completing a full circle around the globe after 100 incredible days.

Bobby Bones (53:32)

100 days? Thoughts?

J (53:34)

That's. I mean, how do you. You have the Hundred days. That would be a really great way to see the world.

Bobby Bones (53:41)

I just feel like if we're playing the numbers here, 100 days on that boat, all those parts of the world.

Lunchbox / Daniel (53:46)

World.

Bobby Bones (53:46)

You going to get got by pirates at some point, right? Yeah, yeah. I mean, through all that pipe, pirates come. Or a storm.

K (53:51)

Like something like, you know, you can't forecast 100 days, so, like, you could be out in the middle of the ocean and then here comes a hurricane.

Bobby Bones (53:57)

But on our cruise, a storm hit. It was awesome.

K (54:00)

That was a light storm. I'm talking about, you know, you ever seen those movies where the boat's going and like. Or those TikTok videos where water.

Bobby Bones (54:07)

But that's so rare that it makes the news when it does happen. I just can't imagine 100 days doing anything straight. It'd be cool.

J (54:17)

Yeah. I feel like it'd be $16,000 and

K (54:20)

you'd have to be retired.

Bobby Bones (54:21)

Right?

K (54:21)

Like, there's gotta be mostly old people

Bobby Bones (54:22)

in there or mostly. Yeah, yeah, people there. Old people or rich people. People that have jobs like Uber, where they can just stop for a little bit.

J (54:34)

That's $160 a day.

Bobby Bones (54:37)

Do you do the math? Just now.

K (54:38)

Okay.

J (54:39)

I had to do the calculator and I realized that I shouldn't need to cause 100 into 16,000. Obviously. 160, but that. So that's all your meals.

Bobby Bones (54:50)

Yeah.

J (54:50)

You're seeing the world. You have a place to sleep.

Bobby Bones (54:53)

100 days is crazy.

J (54:55)

I know. I mean, you have to be retired or have that time off and you do stop.

K (54:59)

So you get off the boat and.

J (55:01)

Or you could work remote. That Internet WI fi.

Bobby Bones (55:04)

What about your house? Who's gonna keep up with your house? Morgan's still feeling the effects of our cruise when we went for seven days. Not physical, but she's got, like, a busted phone.

Lauren Alina (55:13)

Yeah, guys, my phone isn't working anymore. I think it got ocean water or

J (55:17)

sand in it somewhere.

Lauren Alina (55:18)

I can't listen to people on my phone whatsoever.

Bobby Bones (55:21)

Seven. You guys did seven days, right?

J (55:23)

Yeah.

Bobby Bones (55:23)

Could you do 100 that hard?

Lauren Alina (55:25)

If I'm not working? Yes, I could do 100.

J (55:27)

But if we did 100, day worker.

Bobby Bones (55:29)

Oh, no, I'd die. I'd die.

Lauren Alina (55:31)

Pass away.

Bobby Bones (55:32)

We are doing a cruise again next year if you guys want to come. Topshelfcountrycruise.com and Riley Green is playing. There's a lot of artists that are playing, but 100 days on a cruise. That's from Voyage Hunter. Bye, everybody.
