Bobby Bones
Here we go.
Lunchbox
Come on, Bobby.
Morgan
Transmitting across America.
Lunchbox
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday show Morning Studio Morning. I love these type of stories. How restaurants manipulate you into spending more money. Morgan has this. So what is it?
Eddie
Yeah, so these are like psychological tricks that these restaurants are using to get you to spend more money, and you're probably falling for it, and you don't even know it.
Lunchbox
I'm so in. Let's go. How many are there?
Eddie
I've got six of them, but this.
Lunchbox
Is my phone, so next time I go, they won't get me. All right, go ahead.
Eddie
Number one, there's always one dish on the menu that seems totally overpriced. You look at the menu and you're like, it's $70, but everything else is 20. Well, it's because they're wanting to make the others look like a deal.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's interesting. So it's not even about the other one being good or that they really want people to buy the big one.
Amy
Wow.
Lunchbox
They're tricking you to think that everything else is cheaper. That's good, because I would think that expensive one, that must be really good. And I want to spend 70 bucks on that kind of steak. But I can get the other steak here. Wow, that's a good one. Good job, restaurants. I'm tricked. Okay, next.
Eddie
So before you even show up to a restaurant, they have one of those tip jars. There's cash already in it. You're like, dang, they tipped well. That's because when you arrive, then you think other people are tipping. So then you have to tip.
Lunchbox
So this is different than a restaurant. Restaurant, like a sit down. This would be like if you go to a subway or something, right. And they have the bucket. Okay. I'm familiar with that snow cone stand. Put a few bucks in it. We used to do that. I used to work at the marina. Put a few bucks in it. It's our own money. And you would always write down who put their own money in it to get that first before you did the split out at the end.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
So that one I'm here for. No, that one. Not tricked there. Restaurant. Nope, don't get that one. Go ahead.
Eddie
Has anybody else been tricked by that one?
Raymundo
Nah, we know that.
Amy
No, I know about that trick.
Eddie
You know when you walk in somewhere and there's like the cute little chalkboard sign? It says daily special written in sweet letters.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
Well, that daily special has probably been there for weeks, maybe months. But because it's written as a daily special, your brain sees it in the pretty handwriting and things. It's limited. Fresh, rare.
Lunchbox
So what we used to do is the special was usually things that we had to sell pretty quickly because it had been sitting there so long. And I'm. I don't think you're saying this. It hadn't been the special for that long, but it became the special because if we don't sell it quick, we have to throw it out.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Lunchbox
So that you. A lot of times that's what the special is. Now sometimes though, in a perfect world, the special is something that comes and has to go quickly because it's fresh. So if it has to come and go quickly, mostly the specialist something has to go quickly. You just want to also get thing that has to. Just came as well. That makes sense.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, no, that makes sense. And. But I do think that yeah. When you see something just says oh, this is the special. I want to get the special.
Lunchbox
And I always special. It must. He must be like, that's his expertise. Like his one dish that he's really or she's really good at.
Eddie
Okay, next, this that has happened at a sandwich shop back home and it's been the daily special for like years every time I go back.
Lunchbox
Because it's our favorite thing to make. Right.
Eddie
It's grilled cheese. It's not anything crazy, but it's something to it and I always get it. They often ask you, would you like still or sparkling water? Versus not would you like water?
Lunchbox
Say it again.
Eddie
So you know how a waiter comes up and they're like, would you like still or sparkling water?
Lunchbox
Always still.
Eddie
And they're like. Instead of saying that and being like would you like water? They're trying to give you a choice to make a more expensive water.
Lunchbox
Which is the sparkling.
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
Because they have to charge you for that because it's in a bottle. Got it.
Eddie
Ok. Of just saying would you like water?
Lunchbox
Does anybody pick sparkling as their main water?
Scuba Steve
No.
Amy
What is still water?
Lunchbox
Normal.
Amy
Okay. I always just say tap water.
Lunchbox
Normal. They outside tap. Yeah.
Amy
No, I just say. Cuz I don't know what either one is.
Lunchbox
Got it. Still water has no bubbles. It's normal.
Amy
Got it.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Eddie
So the menu doesn't have currency symbols if you've ever noticed. Like a dollar sign. Because if you put dollar sign $24 it screams money. But if you just put 24, it's just a number.
Lunchbox
That's probably some casino tactic, like something they've studied people.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And we don't feel like it tricks us because we don't know, because it's doing it subconsciously. You think it does trick us? I don't know about tricking, but I'm sure it affects us. It's the same thing as, like, buying with a credit card and buying with cash. It's the same money, but because you're doing it with something that doesn't feel the same, it's not the same, even though it is the same. So. Yes, you have another one.
Eddie
This is the last one.
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Eddie
So you go into a place or playing music. If it's playing slow music, then they want you to stay longer. But if they're playing fast music, they want you to eat and leave.
Lunchbox
You know what's funny? I often eat on beat of the drum playing above me. Yeah, but grocery stores have the music built a certain way too, right? They play music to get you to stay or.
Scuba Steve
And linger and shop longer. Put more things in your basket.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's interesting. There are, like, three of those. I didn't know the music's interesting. I always kind of feel like the music just kind of fits with the vibe. But the vibe also could be slower. Fast music. It really doesn't matter. Although Olive Garden, it's always pretty slow. Yeah, that's a good point. That's a good point. All right, Morgan, thank you. Hopefully we just saved you guys some money. The special thing is good to know, like, almost never get the special.
Scuba Steve
Why it still could be good just because they need to get rid of it almost. And you're getting a special price.
Lunchbox
Amy's been tricked. She's like, there's no currency sign beside it. You're getting a special price.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Thank you, Morgan. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. I was on Venmo the other day, paying my lawn guy. And always forget you can publicly see who is sending money to whom. I send my money privately so no one can see. But it was a good opportunity to look up a friend who owed me money to see if he was Venmoing anyone else. He was, and it kind of annoyed me. I've sent him several Venmo requests, but he still hasn't paid me. Should I let it go or confront him about why he still hasn't paid me? Sign, friend, better have my money. Money. That's funny. You can confront him. You can even say, if you'd like, you were looking at his Venmo history. Because that's public now. It's a little weird.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
So it is weird to go like, hey, I was looking through your Venmo history, you're paying everybody else, but it depends how close of a friend they are. Like if Eddie owed me money and I see that he's like, waste buying stupid crap on his Venmo, I'd be like, dude, you owe me 20 bucks. Like you just bought a big old 8 pound Easter bunny of chocolate.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Lunchbox
Why can't you give my 20 bucks?
Raymundo
That sounds too real.
Lunchbox
It doesn't have to be real. So I would say you absolutely can. It's not like you went through his phone. He didn't know. But also, you can't really pocket watch. And I say that a lot on what they're buying versus what they owe you because some of that stuff he's paying for, he may have to buy. Like those might be necessities. So. But you can use that in your argument as to why he hasn't paid you yet. I'd Venmo request him. And then I would text him, be like, hey, I just. Venmo requested you. And by the way, I looked at your Venmo and I saw you had bought a B and C. Pay me back's not more important than that. You can do something like that.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
That's not stalkerish because it's public, right?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I think it depends on the relationship. Like you're saying, like you saying that to Eddie. No problem. It's like, haha, no big deal. They just need to.
Lunchbox
Who would be big deal though?
Scuba Steve
I'm trying to think like anybody in this pastor.
Lunchbox
But then why'd you pass through all your money? What's he up? All right, there you go. Yes, you can use his Venmo against him because his Venmo is public. And also I would just stop sending him Venmo requests without letting him know you're sending a Venmo request, Send the request and then also send him a text to go, hey, I just requested that money from you because sometimes I'll get Venmo requests for like haircuts. When I get my haircut, I won't even see unless I'm on there looking because I don't get a notification. So there you go. Hopefully that helped close it up. Six in 10Americans say they ignore medical symptoms if they don't feel, quote, serious. So they talk to 2,000 people. And I think most is because we have a healthcare problem in America and the doctor is very expensive just to go. But secondly, if they're like, well now you got to go to a specialist just to go. Even if you don't get any terrible news. And then if you get medium bad or terrible news, then it's even more expensive. A doctor's appointment could bankrupt you. And so when it's. Yeah, Americans don't take their health serious. It's not that. It's that we don't have health care that allows us to, like, concern us with us first because you got to pay the bills. So 2,000 adults reveal that most people ignore women. And older adults especially brush off issues like. And if you get this, Amy, will you call a doctor? Rashes?
Scuba Steve
No, not immediately.
Lunchbox
I'll take a picture of mine, send it right on over. I'll charge you for that. I know my doctor. Hey, what's this? I get that sometimes.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Sleep trouble? Nah, I have really bad sleep trouble, but I don't. That's more of a therapy thing. I could try to talk through that in therapy. Digestive problems?
Scuba Steve
Nope.
Lunchbox
Mine have been so bad that I've got a colonoscopy, an endoscopy. They have never seen a colon as strong as mine. I think it went up on their wall. You know how, like, you eat the 96er at a steakhouse? They're like, this guy ate 96 pounds of steak. I think my colon was so perfect, they put a picture of it up there.
Scuba Steve
Huh.
Raymundo
That's cool.
Lunchbox
They were like, heck of a colon.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. But it seems like you have a lot of GI issues at times.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Scuba Steve
Different than the cold.
Lunchbox
Well, that's why I'm not eating cheese while I'm not eating milk. That's a big part of it. And also stress related GI issues.
Scuba Steve
True.
Lunchbox
The study conducted by Talker Research highlights a significant knowledge gap around conditions like stroke, heart attacks, depression, anxiety. There are certain things that we as Americans don't even feel like we need to go to the doctor for because we're like, I'm not depressed. Anxiety. What the heck even is that? That's what wimps have. Listen, I used to think that I've only just started to acknowledge that I have a version of nighttime anxiety that creeps on me. It doesn't matter when, where. There is nothing that actually triggers it. It just happens. So there's something, but it's not something I'm conscious of. There's not like an event that happens to me at night where I'm like, whoa, man, now I'm anxious. Like, I'll just be chilling. Dude. Watching a show on Apple plus. That new John Hamm show. Are you watching that? Friends of Neighbors. Neighbors of Friends.
Scuba Steve
Yes. I started that pretty Good. Yeah.
Lunchbox
All of a sudden my stomach just feels like I'm nervous. And then I can't sleep because I'm so nervous. But mostly it gets into like diagnosis how much and stuff just costs. It sucks. We did not have a health care system that is good for Americans here. Other countries have great ones. But then some countries are like, yeah, we have great health care. It does take a long time to get in some of these places too.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
But then I'm like, a long time. I'm like, you ever seen our waiting rooms though? Even though.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Lunchbox
With our own money.
Scuba Steve
Oh, I know. But like we go and we can go in the waiting room. Listen, there's no. Nothing's perfect. But there are places where sometimes it's like, wait, I have to wait nine months to get in to see this. And so then they have to. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
And that's nothing. I went to a waiting room the other day. I was in there for 40 minutes. Okay, I get it. Doctors, they're full, they're like, okay, we'll see you now. Walk down a hall, took a left. They sat me in another waiting room. I waited to sit in the waiting room. I was probably never. 25 minutes. I went from the JV waiting room to the varsity waiting room. They don't even tell you it's like going to Six Flags and all of a sudden you're like, I'm about to get on the ride. And all of a sudden you turn the corner and this, that rap where everybody's in line, it's all rapping within each other. It's the stupidest thing ever. Experts who stress the importance of consulting with board certified doctors to interpret symptoms accurately and avoid the dangers of misinformation. I'm going to say this, and this is from Talker Research, completely understand that if you gotta worry about eating, you probably don't buy medicine. And that sucks because there was a version and a part of my life where that was the case. I never went to the dentist until my 20s. We didn't go to the doctor. I will say one of the benefits of AI is if you got a ChatGPT or there are these different apps, even Google, even Grok is that you can type your symptoms in AI, the different versions of them and they will not do what WebMD does, which is freak you out like you're gonna die tomorrow. They will give you a better analysis of what it probably is, what it might be, what it's probably not, but could be, and that's significant. So I would encourage People not to go to WebMD to find one of. Even Google has their, their AI version now. You can type your symptoms in that and they don't freak you out. You don't think you're going to die tomorrow or you don't think you have cancer? Every. With everything that happens. My elbow hurts. Cancer. Oh crap.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Like one time I went to get a heart exam because I thought I was having, I don't know, borderline about to have a heart attack or something. And turns out minus circumstantial anxiety stuff that was going on in my life. But I kept feeling these chest pains and I wanted to ignore it. I wanted to ignore it. And then I am thankful to have access to healthcare and I do have that. So I was like, you know what? I'm blessed to have this. I need to go because there are not, there are others that can't just go. And I need to go be proactive here.
Lunchbox
And Eddie thought he had cancer. Went to the doctor. Turns out it was.
Raymundo
I ate a lot of popcorn and.
Lunchbox
The popcorn was like stuck in, stuck.
Raymundo
In my guts, I guess.
Scuba Steve
No cancer.
Raymundo
Thankfully.
Lunchbox
Thankfully. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. Her Name's Alyssa. She's 10 years old, lives in San Bernardino, California. She's going to graduate next month from Crafton hills college with two associate degrees. She's 10.
Scuba Steve
Oh, 10.
Lunchbox
She's been taking college level classes since the age of 8. Will be the youngest student to ever graduate from the community college. She's also still in regular school. She's been taking the classes for fun. Her final GPA with these two associate degrees will be close to a 4.0. She says it's been real fun. And she compares it to playing outside of riding her bike because she does those two. She credits her background to her father's encouragement and helping her stay focused. When she first started in college, said she was nervous because everybody was older.
Raymundo
Whale.
Lunchbox
That's wild.
Scuba Steve
I think it's a little more than parental encouragement. Yeah.
Raymundo
Because I do that.
Scuba Steve
She's a genius.
Raymundo
Encourage my kids.
Scuba Steve
They don't do anything like, oh, first. You can encourage me all day long and I'm not gonna be.
Lunchbox
You can encourage her to go, but yes, she has to have that next level. That's, that's awesome. If she had stayed one more semester, she would have completed two more degrees in computer science and physics.
Scuba Steve
Oh my God.
Lunchbox
She plans to pursue a career in AI.
Amy
Wow.
Raymundo
Of course.
Lunchbox
It's from Fox News.
Raymundo
She's gonna be so Rich.
Lunchbox
Yep. Yeah. Or she'll drive herself crazy because she's so smart. Well, that too.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It's one of things. Yes. That is a. That's an awesome story. ELISA Perela is 10 years old. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. All right, here's the voicemail we got last night.
Scuba Steve
Morning, studio. I was just calling because I am two months away from graduating with my master's degree and the senioritis is just really hitting me. I've already missed two deadlines on assignments. I'm just having a really hard time getting to the finish line. Wanted to know what your best piece of advice was and also what are your favorite ways to de stress in times where you just feel like there's so much going on? Love the show.
Lunchbox
So my advice to you is make the person that you're going to be in about two years proud of the one right now because you just got a white knuckle through this, and you're going to be so happy with yourself in six months, in one year and two years that you did it. Yeah, it sucks right now, but it's going to be so worth it. You already missed two deadlines. Like, she's fading fast. She's fading past boys. We've all been there. We just. Just know that there's going to be a time when you're not exhausted like this and that time will exist, and you just want to be happy with who you were right now. So that's my advice to you. Do the work you got this far, and then how do you de stress? I got one thing I do. I play PlayStation.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. I don't know. That didn't sound like that might work for her.
Lunchbox
Yeah, well, she's asking me what I do.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
If she wants to play me in 2k, she can. I'm no closer to thunder. I got Chet holmgren up to a 93 overall. Dang. Yeah. Yeah. What about you?
Scuba Steve
I would try to go on walks with friends. I mean, the weather's warming up. It's looking great outside most places, I guess. So if you can go on a walk with friends in the sun and in the trees, there's a lot of benefits happening there.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And just suck it up and get it over with and do the work and you'll be happy that you did once it's over. But it's not going to be fun while you do it. But nothing worth doing is ever that easy anyway. So. Yeah. Be proud of yourself in six months at TikTok. Mom's going viral because she counted up all the gadgets in her house, like all the screens. This reminds me when you're talking about walking in the woods, getting away from everything and the trees in the air. And so she just basically counts at play this, Ray.
Scuba Steve
My 2 year old's iPad, my 5 year old's iPad. My 7 year old's iPad, my 10 year old's iPad. And his iPhone. My iPad, my iPhone and my watch. And my MacBook. My husband's iPad, my husband's iPhone and his watch. My husband has an Xbox series X and a PC. We have nine TVs throughout the entire house and the only time we limit screen time is Monday through Thursday.
Lunchbox
That's pretty baller big.
Raymundo
They limit that much, huh? With all those gadgets?
Amy
They have nine TVs. They rich.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Everybody go home and see how many screens you have in your house.
Raymundo
Okay.
Scuba Steve
I don't even need. I can.
Raymundo
Like the way she did it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, she's. Watches and iPads, everything that counts. Phones, that's a screen. Television screens. I think you could.
Scuba Steve
What about stuff.
Lunchbox
I think you could probably grab and figure it out now, but go home and look at it. What.
Scuba Steve
What about stuff in our. Like we have podcast room, Stuff like that.
Lunchbox
Work doesn't count.
Scuba Steve
Okay, good, because that would add up to a lot of extra things.
Lunchbox
She has 24 screens in her home.
Raymundo
Dang.
Scuba Steve
Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
Okay, so count yours. Bring it back tomorrow. Don't lie.
Amy
Who would lie?
Raymundo
No need to lie.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, why would we lie?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think you would probably lower your number a little bit.
Scuba Steve
Why? Why would I lower my number?
Lunchbox
Because you like trees and oxygen. You don't want to be that person.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, no, I can be that person. I was actually clarifying. Do I need to disclose any screens.
Lunchbox
In my podcast, like she's going to jail? No, if it's for work, like specifically. No, you're good.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Okay. Count your screens, bring it back tomorrow. What do these celebrities have in common? Amy, Jim Carrey, Justin Bieber, Ryan Reynolds. Jim Carrey, Justin Bieber, Ryan Reynolds.

Hey, friend. I know how it feels waking up exhausted after multiple trips to the bathroom and feeling embarrassed by sudden leaks. I used to be constantly on edge, searching for a restroom whenever I was out. Then I discovered better woman. I was skeptical at first, but two months in, everything changed. I experienced improved bladder control. No more heart stopping moments when I laugh or sneeze. Less urge to go deeper and more restful. Sleep. I finally felt like myself again.

Lunchbox
All right, bathroom etiquette question from lunchbox. Yeah.
Amy
And girls don't have this problem because I assume they always close the door when they go in to go to the bathroom in their stalls. But if you're.
Lunchbox
By the way, guys.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, okay.
Lunchbox
We've never walked into a women's bathroom. We don't know if you guys leave the doors open. It does. Doesn't seem in character, but we shut the door.
Eddie
There's no doors open at all in women's restrooms. There's no, like, urinals, anything like that?
Lunchbox
Like, you have doors. Sometimes we don't have doors.
Amy
Right.
Lunchbox
We're slobs.
Scuba Steve
But, I mean, y'all have doors, and you elect to leave it open.
Lunchbox
Well, that's his question.
Amy
That's my etiquette question. Thank you for leading me there, Amy. So, you know, if the stalls, you know, are there, and you got to use one, and you just have to urinate, and so you're not sitting down. So I go into the stall, and I don't close the door behind me because you're just urinating, so.
Lunchbox
And just say pee. You're trying to use a big word, and it's funny.
Amy
Unless that's a technical term.
Raymundo
Go ahead.
Amy
You're good. All right, so I have to go pee, and the urinals are full. So I go in the stall, and I don't close the door, and some guy from the. One of the sales dudes watches. In turns, the corner goes, oh, you can at least close the door. I'm like, it's the same thing as me standing at a urinal.
Lunchbox
Was he being serious or was he kidding?
Amy
I felt, like, kind of annoyed. Any kind of a.
Lunchbox
At the end, it wasn't like, a friend.
Amy
No. I don't know him. He's like, could at least close the door. And then he went to the stall next to me, and I was like, wait. Guys close the door when they're just peeing in the stall? I never heard of that. So question is, are you supposed to close the door when you're peeing in a stall.
Lunchbox
I'd be curious to know what the girls think first.
Scuba Steve
I mean, I guess I don't think y'all would have to because your urinals don't have doors and you've got the little protectors on the side.
Amy
So.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, no, I would think that you, you wouldn't have to.
Lunchbox
So you vote no.
Scuba Steve
Leave it open if you want, Morgan.
Eddie
Yeah, I feel like you guys already pee openly in the urinals. Why would you close the door then? I feel like the only time you close the door is in another scenario. So if you're like facing the toilet and the door is open, you know.
Lunchbox
What'S happening if you walk in and someone's sitting on it with the door open.
Amy
Problem.
Raymundo
That's weird.
Lunchbox
That's. I'm out. I'm out. I'm not even standing in that bathroom. Like, I'm out. Cuz I don't know what's about to happen next. But yeah, no, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like, if you're in the stall and you're peeing, you're standing up. Who cares?
Raymundo
Unless you're one of those people that pull their pants all the way down to pee.
Lunchbox
We were. No, not even that. When we were in Austin, there was a guy who worked on a morning show who got butt naked to stand at a urinal.
Raymundo
Yeah, that's messed up.
Lunchbox
Took all his clothes off to stand, but also would take all his clothes off to go sit on the toilet as well. And you would walk in and you would see a pile of clothes.
Scuba Steve
That's weird. But you know that's impossible.
Amy
You avoided the bathroom at 10, 10am.
Scuba Steve
How they've been doing it. Like, I went to high school with a guy that did that.
Lunchbox
But because that's how you've been doing it. That. Your Honor, it's how I've always been doing it. Well, you're not off, you're. That. It was the most bizarre thing that they would have to get butt naked to use the bathroom.
Scuba Steve
I wonder. It makes me think of that guy from high school. Like, I wonder where is he now? And does he still have to do that?
Lunchbox
He probably still does that.
Scuba Steve
Does he still have to do it? Because I remember all of our friends would talk about it. Be like, it's so weird. He has to take all of his clothes off to go to the bathroom.
Lunchbox
And where does that come from? Do your parents like, okay, time to.
Scuba Steve
Take your clothes off, time to go pee.
Lunchbox
So maybe butt naked Maybe when you're.
Amy
A kid, you have a problem like peeing on your clothes, so your parents take them all off and then you just.
Lunchbox
And then you turn three. Well, three or four, however you are when you don't pee on yourself anymore.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. Way older than that guy, right?
Lunchbox
I don't know. I don't know. I don't have kids. Yeah, when do kids not pee on themselves anymore?
Raymundo
Oh, so they're really old, man. Yeah, sometimes like you just pee on yourself.
Amy
Like why, why is your hammer. I peed on it. Like what? Like how? Yeah, but I mean, I would say maybe.
Lunchbox
When do kids get potty trained? Okay. Three, Three or four.
Amy
Two or three.
Scuba Steve
But just because you're potty trained doesn't mean you don't.
Lunchbox
Well, I still pee on myself sometimes too, but I don't do it normally. But yeah, taking your clothes off. Hey, Mike, would you research why people do that? Like, is there some sort of fetish? It's not a sexual thing at all.
Scuba Steve
You know, sensory thing maybe. Like you're. You don't feel. You have to feel really comfortable, nothing on you to be able to go to the bathroom, you know, because sometimes your clothes bother you. My daughter's real sensitive to certain sounds of clothes or touch of clothes and she has to take it off immediately.
Lunchbox
Some individuals choose to remove all their clothes while using the bathroom, and the reasons vary. For some, it's a matter of personal comfort, feeling more relaxed and free when naked. Others may have learned this behavior early on, perhaps on toilet training, making it a habitual practice. Additionally, some may associate it with a primal or more natural experience, especially when it comes to number two. Go ahead.
Scuba Steve
Oh, so I saw this guy talking about how we are using the bathroom all wrong.
Lunchbox
He just wants tick tock views.
Scuba Steve
No, he doesn't. I could tell you hang on a.
Lunchbox
Bar over it, just let it fall.
Scuba Steve
No, but can I show you or is that weird? That feels weird.
Lunchbox
Both can happen. Yes, both can happen. We would like you to show us and it will be weird, but we're here for it. He's wearing a hat that says ask me about syphilis. You can show us whatever the move is. Yeah, I know, but do it in that chair. This feels like you brought it up.
Raymundo
Hold on, let me move the chair.
Scuba Steve
You can't.
Amy
Like you're not going to be raised.
Scuba Steve
It or screen grab it or do anything with it.
Lunchbox
What?
Scuba Steve
No.
Amy
What are you doing?
Lunchbox
Amy's hitting us with the.
Scuba Steve
Don't clip this because that just feels weird.
Lunchbox
Okay. You're the one that brought it up.
Scuba Steve
Because I thought, oh, my gosh, are we doing that? He said, no, this is. Okay, let's take the bathroom out of it. He said, you should be sitting like this all the time. And you're doing.
Lunchbox
Here's the chair.
Scuba Steve
You don't even have to be in the chair. He was just talking about. Let me finish this part before I walk away from my mic. He was talking about how you. We need to open up our hips more, and we're making our hips like we're doing a disservice to ourselves sitting in a chair the way that we do. Like, we should be doing all of our activities like this. Not even just going to the bathroom.
Lunchbox
You have a mic at the chair. Now Amy's walking to the chair.
Scuba Steve
It should be like, dude, if she was.
Lunchbox
The bathroom. The chair. This is the greatest bit ever.
Raymundo
Yes.
Lunchbox
Grab the mic.
Amy
You are getting in the chair.
Lunchbox
Grab the mic.
Scuba Steve
Let me read your book.
Lunchbox
Grab the mic. Why did you just break everything on my desk? Oh, my gosh, Amy.
Raymundo
The chairs, the toilet. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
This is why people get naked on these bathrooms, because they can't control all.
Scuba Steve
This is like, if I was reading your book. Okay, we're not going to the bathroom because it's inappropriate.
Lunchbox
You're the one that. No, do it. Do it.
Scuba Steve
It made me think of it, but I don't know if my hips can do it.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
He was, like, folding laundry like this. Like, everything squatting. Everything's like this. Like, he'd be, like, folding laundry. He'd be reading a book. He'd be answering emails.
Lunchbox
Get this on camera.
Scuba Steve
So then he said, okay, when it's time to go to the bathroom, he gets up on the. Like this.
Lunchbox
Stands on the toilet like this. His feet on the. On the.
Scuba Steve
Yes, like this. His. How he does everything on the. To he. He lives his life. He's like, if you're not living like this, like, you're.
Lunchbox
Who are you following? Why is your algorithm.
Amy
What are you doing?
Lunchbox
Yeah, what else are you watching?
Scuba Steve
Following him. But he saw him in my algorithm rhythm. And what was really disturbing is he had on. He had on, like, thin, white cotton pants.
Amy
Okay, yeah.
Lunchbox
Now. Now it's gone to fetish. It wasn't. Now it has.
Scuba Steve
No, no, no. This is real. Because I'm concerned with my hips and my aging and taking care of my body and my bones. And he said. And, like, being flexible. And he said, we're messing when we're sitting like this. He's like, it's so traditional. To potty traditional toilet or toilet or desk, or if I sit on the.
Lunchbox
Toilet for more than three minutes, my leg goes to sleep.
Amy
That's why you got to go squatty. Potty. Guys, I don't know what you're waiting on. Get on board.
Lunchbox
That's basically what Amy's doing.
Scuba Steve
She's squatting on top of the L. No, that's.
Amy
That's.
Raymundo
Does your guy say stand on it?
Scuba Steve
I don't even follow him. He's in my algorithm. Do you want me to show you?
Lunchbox
No, I don't want to be. I don't want to anymore. Okay, everybody. Thank you.
Scuba Steve
Oh, thank you.
Lunchbox
This is when we yell Peter and we get out of the second. Peter. Peter. It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.
Amy
Firefighters in Lee Acres, Florida, they get a call for emergency. They respond to a house. Ah, no big deal. Just a little hell scare. They get everything taken care of, and as they're driving out of the neighborhood, they see a family with five kids playing in the backyard. And it's kind of hot. They're sliding down their slide. So they pull the mom aside, and they're like, hey, you mind if we shoot it with some water? She's like, yeah, do it. So they pull the fire truck up, and they shoot water over the fence from their hose, and they're just drenching the slide so the kids can slide down and making it a big old water party in the backyard.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's fun. That's better than us running through the hose. Oh, yeah, you had the one that had a little holes in it that would shoot up. Yeah, that's way better than that. Yeah, that's a good one.
Amy
I mean, that's so cool. Like, you see a rainbow of water flying over.
Lunchbox
They're shooting it from probably 30ft away, and it's a huge. Obviously, it's a huge, like, really thick thing of water and landing right on the kids. That's awesome. That's awesome. Great job. That's. That's cool. I wish we had those firefighters. Hey. Luckily, nobody was hurt either in the. What was it? Health scare? Yeah. No. All good. All right. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones. Time for the morning Corny. The morning Corny.
Scuba Steve
Which animal has the largest chest? A zebra.
Lunchbox
That was the morning Corny.
Raymundo
Yeah, it sure was.
Lunchbox
What do you know about John Cena?
Scuba Steve
He's a wrestler. He's an actor. He's big.
Lunchbox
He's real big. He's like cartoon muscular.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, he's real, real big.
Lunchbox
He's the champ now. He's a bad guy.
Scuba Steve
That's right. And you told me he won.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he turned heel. Well, he turned heel prior, but then he won. Yeah. So he's 48 today. He's still like, every muscle in his body is just shredded. 48 and shredded. So he's also done 650. Make a wishes. He is the all time leader in Make a Wishes because people request John Cena. He holds the Guinness World Record for the most wishes granted by a single individual. He began working with Make a wish in 2002 and remains a top requested celebrity by children. So happy birthday, John Cena. That's pretty cool. It's hard to see him as a bad guy because he's never been a bad guy in wrestling. In the history of his career. He's had the championship more than anybody else, and now he's a bad guy and he's. He's just been so good for so long. It'd be like if the old Pope before he died was like, you know what, I'm just gonna go to the bar and get some drink. He'd be like, ah, that's not really you, Pope. Who you playing?
Raymundo
Are people starting. Starting to hate him a little bit?
Lunchbox
No, because everybody knows he's a good.
Raymundo
Dude and all the mega wishes, but.
Lunchbox
You play along with wrestling. You play along. Keanu reeves at number 10 overall with 25. Make a wishes at the top 10. Robert Downey Jr. At 30.
Scuba Steve
Mostly because of Iron Man.
Lunchbox
Iron Man. Katy Perry at 35. Huh.
Amy
Interesting.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's surprising.
Scuba Steve
Tell us how you really felt.
Raymundo
Maybe they were all in the neighborhood.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's really surprising. I'm surprised she was untied. Any of them. Chris Hemsworth?
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah, he is. He's Liam's brother, Thor.
Lunchbox
Come on, Thor. He's got 40. Selena Gomez, 45. I really like Selena Gomez for two reasons. When she did Only Murders in the Building, whole new part of her career that I was like, man, she's really good in that show. Like, she's super likable as an actress. And then now that she's with Benny Blanco and like, he's awesome. I know anything about him.
Scuba Steve
They seem cool.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he's like my favorite guy. Lunchbox hates that dude.
Scuba Steve
No, I think he's jealous of him.
Lunchbox
No, no, no, fair point. He hates him because he's jealous of him.
Amy
I'm not jealous of him at all. He does stupid things and he gets credit for It. He fills a bathtub up with queso that is a waste of money. Is never going to get eaten. And he's all of a sudden this amazing dude. It's like, no, just get a bowl of queso and put it on the table. Like, why are we doing a bathtub? I get, no, they're not actually going to eat the queso. And then they.
Lunchbox
You need a movie theater, too.
Amy
That's where I was going. He rented out a movie theater and he brought his own deep fryer. Not allowed. Couldn't happen. Morgan couldn't do that. It's stupid. Why are we giving him credit for this?
Scuba Steve
Well, because he did it. It is extravagant.
Amy
It's illegal.
Lunchbox
It's not illegal because he didn't go to jail.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. So that stuff is.
Lunchbox
You can say not allowed.
Amy
Her special treats for her. Like, oh, so you got up in the middle of the movie and went and made the treats and didn't watch the movie with her? Like, this sounds so stupid.
Lunchbox
Did you watch him make the Hot Pocket stuff the. That he made, like, from scratch for her?
Scuba Steve
No, no scratch.
Lunchbox
It was awesome. He walked you through the whole thing.
Scuba Steve
He said on. I saw a clip of him, like.
Lunchbox
Philly Cheesesteak Hot Pockets. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
They were on Jay Shetty's podcast. And he said that he wakes up every day and asks himself, what can I do to make Selena shut up?
Amy
So stupid. So stupid.
Scuba Steve
So stupid.
Lunchbox
I love that dude.
Amy
Like, Bobby, do you wake every morning? What can I do?
Scuba Steve
Yeah, but what's wrong with that if.
Amy
You don't get out of here? No one does that.
Lunchbox
I wake every morning like this. I hate waking up.
Amy
Exactly. No one does that.
Scuba Steve
Okay. Well, he does. He seemed genuine about it.
Lunchbox
He says.
Amy
He says it to make him look good.
Lunchbox
You're a hater.
Scuba Steve
I really don't think he's making it up. Like, it seemed genuine.
Lunchbox
You should watch the Philly cheesesteak video that he makes him from scratch for her. It's awesome. Yeah. I love that dude. Number five, Taylor Swift. Also, I didn't know I love that dude until the last few months. I love that dude.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Lunchbox
Number five, Taylor Swift. She's granted over 50. Make a wishes. The rock at 70.
Raymundo
Wow.
Lunchbox
Anybody refer to him as Dwayne Johnson ever?
Raymundo
No, I.
Scuba Steve
Sometimes I say Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Lunchbox
When would you ever say. When would you ever say all of that ever? Never. No, you don't. Sometimes I. Stop it.
Scuba Steve
I have.
Lunchbox
When me and my girlfriends are hanging out, I'll just refer to him as Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I do Beyonce at 3:80. That's pretty cool. Justin Bieber at 2. Over 250 wishes. He's been a dedicated supporter of Make a Wish since early in his career. Consistently getting wishes and performing private concerts or fans. That's pretty legit. Yep. And then John Cena over 650. That is awesome. Shout out to you, John Cena.
Scuba Steve
Wow.
Lunchbox
Even though you're a bad guy, some.
Scuba Steve
Of those he knocks out of you. In the same.
Lunchbox
He gathers a bunch of kids. He does them all at once.
Raymundo
Give me 100 kids.
Lunchbox
Is that what you're saying? Like, put it like Mr. Beast put them all in the house.
Scuba Steve
I guess I'm just curious if he's already there, you know?
Lunchbox
I don't know. No, I don't know what you mean. Dwayne the Rock Johnson. What do you mean?
Scuba Steve
Well, I just curious if some of those are doubled up. Like, you know, he's already there. Question, like, where is he already, though? He's already at the hospital visiting.
Lunchbox
And he's like.
Scuba Steve
And he's like, I'm already here.
Lunchbox
This is a real organization, though.
Scuba Steve
I know it is. But they're like, hey, you're already going to be here, so let's.
Lunchbox
I feel like you're hating on him. Like, lunchbox was Benny.
Scuba Steve
I think it's awesome that he's done it. 650, that's just a lot. I wonder if any of those are doubled up.
Lunchbox
He's maybe. I would think, sure. If there are three nearby, they've all requested John Cena.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Lunchbox
They probably get them close.
Amy
Oh, what you're saying is like, let's say kids. I don't know what I want. They're like, well, John Cena's in town.
Scuba Steve
He's already going to be in room 222.
Lunchbox
I feel like there's a little like.
Scuba Steve
No, no, no, no, no, no. No mass hit.
Amy
Thank you, guys.
Raymundo
I understand all that. Thank you.
Lunchbox
We have Jason on the phone who lives in North Carolina. And this is in reference to yesterday. Amy said that she's just driving down the road and on a motorcycle. Two people came up riding the same motorcycle. One arm's wrapped around the other and they nailed her side view mirror. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
On purpose.
Lunchbox
Yeah. They cut them off or something.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. And they're like, take that woman.
Lunchbox
And they. Then they gave you the bird.
Scuba Steve
And then I was left off.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Hey, Jason, you heard the story. What would you like to say about that?
Bobby Bones
I'm with a club here in North Carolina. Southern Wolves Motorcycle Club. And I just wanted to let you know there is a legitimate reason why motorcycle people will do that. And because I'm pretty good. You have air cooled and water cooled motorcycles. And, like, mine's air cooled. So if I sit in traffic, my bike will overheat and shut off. So I have to go to the side of the road and wait until my traffic. My bike cools down in order to be able to restart it. So even if it's against the law, a rider will illegally do it just to keep their bike running.
Lunchbox
What do you think about the rider that punched Amy's side view mirror? Would you have done that?
Bobby Bones
The only way I would do it is if the car was about to hit me.
Lunchbox
Well, that might have been hit me.
Bobby Bones
I would. I would have done that.
Lunchbox
Oh, you're saying right as it's about.
Scuba Steve
To hit you to, like, save himself. But this was in response to, okay, maybe a minute ago, I almost hit you, and then you come up and attack me.
Lunchbox
You remember almost hitting them? Honestly?
Scuba Steve
No.
Amy
You promise?
Scuba Steve
Listen, they were still in the wrong. What they were doing was illegal. I don't know.
Lunchbox
But do you remember almost hitting.
Scuba Steve
No, I know that I just was merging and then there they were.
Lunchbox
But, Jason, that's good to know. I did not know that about motorcycles, that you had to keep it running so you drive up in the middle of cars. I didn't. I mean, as a car driver, it feels weird.
Bobby Bones
And they have lane shifting and lane splitting. Lane splitting is just when open traffic's going to go between them. The lane shifting is when it stopped traffic and you go around them. That's lane shifting.
Lunchbox
Which one was you? You. You sitting Amy?
Scuba Steve
I was merging into sitting traffic.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I'm confused by your story. That's changing.
Scuba Steve
No, I'm getting. I'm switching over. There's lots of traffic and no one's moving, but I need to get over into a lane. So imagine traffic and then I just get over. They must have been lane splitting coming down the. Like, I'm not thinking. There's nobody around I can get over, but boom, they come up from behind. They were going fast, so. I told you they were on a ninja.
Lunchbox
Okay, I don't know about that, but my theory was it wasn't two dudes.
Raymundo
Yeah, right.
Scuba Steve
I know. I listen, I still think it's two dudes, but when I took. My boyfriend was in the car with me at the time, and whenever he heard me tell the story yesterday, he's like. Like, that was definitely a woman. And I'm like, no. A woman.
Lunchbox
Who flipped you off? The woman or the guy?
Scuba Steve
The woman. But I was like a woman. I was like, that was. That was another guy. He goes, there's no way that was two guys on the back of that body.
Lunchbox
That's what I said.
Scuba Steve
And I was like, are you kidding me? That was two guys, two angry men.
Lunchbox
Unless. Unless my motorcycle is broken down, I probably ain't getting out on the lunchbox.
Scuba Steve
No, I'm just saying.
Amy
No, I'm not doing it.
Scuba Steve
In my mind. That was two guys because he was so aggressive with his finger and he gloves on this little ninja outfit. It was in his helmet. It was two guys. But my boyfriend's like, no, it's definitely a girl.
Lunchbox
Hey, Jason, we appreciate that call. Thank you very much.
Scuba Steve
Would you. Hey, hey, Jason, since you ride, would you ride with your friend? Your. Your male friend?
Bobby Bones
No, it's against man law.
Amy
That's right.
Lunchbox
Okay. Thank you, Jason. Thanks, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
All right. Bye. Tracy in San Antonio's on similar situation. Hey, Tracy, what do you want to say about the motorcycle thing?
Scuba Steve
I want to say that my husband was in a lot of traffic and here in San Antonio, we got a lot of construction going on and this just happened about two weeks ago. He thought he was splitting the line and knocked his mirror. He thought he didn't know what happened at first and then realized that the mirror had been pushed back and it was broken. So I just want to validate Amy's. Amy's comments about. Yes, it's very illegal and dangerous.
Lunchbox
They broke his, though.
Scuba Steve
I thought mine was broken. I was scared to twist it back because I thought if I try to move it. But luckily, I don't think the thunder.
Lunchbox
From this guy got his broken. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not. I'm just saying. I feel you. I thought mine was broken. Thankfully, it wasn't. I'm sorry that yours was.
Amy
He had it much worse.
Scuba Steve
He did. He did. He did.
Lunchbox
Tracy, thank you for the call. I hope you have a great day. You're welcome.
Scuba Steve
Thanks so much.
Lunchbox
I semi stand by. Amy almost ran the motorcycle over and didn't know it. Yeah, I think semi. But not fully.
Scuba Steve
No. How can I Semi lifetime history. Someone over that. Like if they're not in my view, like, I didn't know they were there.
Lunchbox
They were interview. Because maybe you didn't look.
Scuba Steve
No, I think they were speeding up the split line.
Lunchbox
I'm wrong.
Raymundo
Are you?
Scuba Steve
I think.
Lunchbox
I don't know if I am.
Scuba Steve
No, no, no. I think my Boyfriend would say, like, hey, you were in the wrong. Like, I want. Like, he has no problem saying, like, you almost hit those people. But he was just as shocked and just as concerned. Like, that was not okay.
Lunchbox
All I know of having my woman. I haven't found those bikers.
Raymundo
What do you do?
Scuba Steve
Okay, guys, we were in traffic in the highway.
Lunchbox
That happened to my woman. I'm tracking her. I got a set of skills. Yeah, yeah, I found them.
Amy
Well, and it says something that you were driving and not him.
Lunchbox
No, I don't. My wife drives all the time, so I didn't say anything about us. Bones.
Morgan
Hey, friend. I know how this feels. Waking up exhausted after multiple trips to the bathroom and feeling embarrassed by sudden leaks.

Wake up, wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Lunchbox more game two Scooby Steve red.
Raymundo
Habits trying to put you through.
Lunchbox
MACD's riding this week's next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Vaughn. I Woke up about 1 this morning. Morning with a thunder in my head. I'm talking about a headache that I almost never have. And I'm almost never woken up by a headache. I wake up all the time. I don't sleep well. I deal with that fine, but my head was just. And headaches are different. They hit you in different parts of the head. So I went over to Google, and Google has a pretty good AI, meaning you just type it into Google and you just put. Put up the links for the results. But now there is an AI part that comes up first. Not always super accurate, but pretty accurate. And I go, hey, Google. I don't know why I addressed them by name, but I'm like, hey, Google. And then I say, please and thank you all the time. I say, I just woke up with a splitting headache. Can you help me? And it says back, give me where your headache is. Something like, where do you feel it? And so I write, it's behind my right eye. It, I can feel it in my forehead, above my right eye and on top of my head. And then it says, is it wrapping around your head? At this point, it's one in the morning. I'm having a full on conversation with Google about a headache. And so I have all the results that it said. And what ended up happening was because they gave me, I'll give you the options. They said first migraine. And they said pulsating pain. And it gave me like eight things, things to consider. Boom. Then it said a cluster headache. This one is much rarer. It's way severe. And if it's behind one eye, it could be this like a stabbing burning or piercing. It wasn't burning or piercing. So the other one was sinus pressure or sinusitis. And this is if you had recent allergies, congestion, or cold. And so I feel like based on all they gave me, which was more than what I'm saying here, that was it. So I was like, I think it's number three sinusitis. Also great name for a band, Sinusitis. Yeah. Good morning, good afternoon, New York. We're Sinusitis. We're not playing the night show, but we're here to open. That'd be cool. And so I click Sinusitis. And they said, got you. Here's what to do. Do you have any sinus medicine? And I do because I have terrible allergies. So I take a Zyrtec. So doesn't help immediately, obviously. It lists out cold compress. Got it. Probably wouldn't have done it. It's not like that's foreign to me. My grandma used to all the time to me, put a cold press over your right eye. Next, have a small amount of caffeine.
Scuba Steve
But it's the middle of the night.
Lunchbox
We've never done that though. So have a small amount of caffeine in a very small amount. This can help if taken very early.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Hydrate. Because also overnight dehydration could be a part of it. And then it says, take ibuprofen. Gives a couple other things. I did that. I'm telling you, it was better in 20 minutes.
Raymundo
Wow.
Lunchbox
Now, I think because it identified sinusitis and I did the Zyrtec and I did the other things that just basically helped the symptom more than what it was. Guys, science man, look at this. AI helping. Okay? They're going to take over the world in, like, 10 years. Sure, but use the next 10 years to your advantage. If you have headaches or foot aches or stomach issues, type in your specific symptoms. They don't act like they know exactly what it is. I say they like it's a person.
Scuba Steve
But I like that they'll ask you more detailed questions.
Lunchbox
Whittle it down. Whittle it. What about the. 20 minutes later, my headache was gone. It's pretty cool. It's pretty cool to use it in that way, so. And everybody has Google with some of the services you have to pay for a subscription Chat GPT. I'm not sure if you have to pay to get the most basic, but there's three or four of those. Just go to Google. And it fixed my headache last night, and I'm here because of that.
Raymundo
Wow.
Lunchbox
Yep, I'm here. Hey, I'm here because of that. Science allowed me to live another day.
Scuba Steve
Did you see that? Like our politeness to the chat GPT.
Lunchbox
Your microphone's, like, buzzing like a killer moth.
Amy
Yeah.
Raymundo
Really hear that?
Lunchbox
Well, Lunchbox and Morgan, does everybody hear that? Yes.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox
Do our listeners hear that?
Scuba Steve
But I don't hear it.
Lunchbox
That was wild. It still happened. You don't hear it, Amy.
Scuba Steve
Guys, I am AI.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's.
Amy
That sounds.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh. You're talk. And I'm not sure if listeners can hear what's happening, but it's like Amy's talking as. As a robot a bit. Should we just go to Song Scuba? What do you.
Raymundo
I don't hear anything.
Lunchbox
What are you talking about? You don't hear it?
Scuba Steve
No, me neither.
Lunchbox
That's wild. Okay. My sinus headache. Is it. Google's in my brain.
Scuba Steve
Okay. I don't hear it at all. And I have gone.
Lunchbox
It's gone. All right.
Eddie
Yeah, it went away.
Lunchbox
Everything's broken. This morning we walked into Morgan, the lunchbox headphones didn't work. But anyway, you go ahead, because I'm not sure if listeners heard what we heard in our ears.
Scuba Steve
Okay, so I saw that our politeness to chat GPT and other AI things is costing millions in computing costs because we're adding extra words like please and thank you, and every added word is a cost.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I talk Shakespearean to mine. Just add extra words for fun.
Raymundo
But you guys are being polite, so just in case it.
Lunchbox
Like, in case they take over later.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
It's like, that's why I talk so nice about aliens.
Raymundo
Just in Case.
Lunchbox
Yeah. They'd have the ability to go through all of, well, all of history and probably a second and to see who exactly was respectful. So I did see that too.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
My wife said, hey, you're using chat GPT. When you add more words, it actually hurts the environment. And I was like, But I try not to use plastic straws. So I'm back to even.
Scuba Steve
I know. It's like, who knew a little please and thank you was going to cause energy crisis?
Lunchbox
Yeah. Because again, it's just having to compute more because there are buildings that have little computers in them that are taking everything we write and actually sending it back to us. Right. And so that is like, if you plug it in a wall, that is energy, and energy is being created by somewhere.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. So, okay. It says here a study found that even short AI generated text generate enough energy to power multiple households.
Lunchbox
Can I bring you a question? You're bringing me down. I just gave a great story about how a headache was fixed by AI and then you have to bring me down.
Scuba Steve
No, I was just saying, like, maybe we don't have to say maybe we. Instead of thank you, we say thanks th x thanks so we don't waste energy. Like, we can still be polite, but abbreviate.
Lunchbox
I'd rather just play it safe and have an insurance policy. When they take over the world, they remember who was kind to them.
Scuba Steve
Okay. Well, I'm glad it helped your headache.
Lunchbox
It did.
Scuba Steve
That's good.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It kind of took me down, though.
Amy
What?
Scuba Steve
How did that take you down?
Lunchbox
Now it's like I'm littering.
Scuba Steve
No, I use it too. And I'm nice too. That's the thing. Like, I want to be nice to it. And if I, if we ever get to the point where we have little robots in our house, like, I'm gonna be really kind to it, but I'm locking it up at night for sure.
Raymundo
I'm still not convinced that Amy's not.
Lunchbox
A robot after that. That's a great point. Because she was like, I, I, I don't wait.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
A lot of listeners are commenting on Lunchbox and what he's wearing. He has to wear it today, tomorrow, and Friday. He has a hat that says, ask me about syphilis. It's purple with yellow writing. A hoodie that says ask me about syphilis. Purple with yellow gold writing. And he's wearing. If you ever see, like, a truck and they have, like, the nuts hanging off the back. It's a really disgusting thing when I see a truck. Wear. I'm like, are you either 17 or you've never really grown out of your 17 Ness, right? But he's wearing those around his neck as flava flav. What a clock. That's a scrotum. So you've been wearing the stuff. Any stories from out in the wild?
Amy
Yeah, I met my buddy from college. He's in town for some work meetings. Hey, you want to go grab a drink? So I was like, yeah. So last night, we went and sat at the bar at a brewery, and this dude, the bartender, just kind of serves us. And then he comes back. He's like, man, that's kind of an interesting outfit got there. I'm like, all right, cool. And then he goes about his business. Then he comes back, and he goes, so how many people do have syphilis?
Lunchbox
So he thinks you're, like, the representative.
Amy
Yeah. And I'm like, I. I don't really know. You know what I mean? He's like, oh, cool. All right, man. They leaves, and he comes back and he's like, so, like, how treatable is syphilis? I don't know, man. I. I don't know the answer to this. And then I had to explain to him. I'm like, man, I don't really know anything about syphilis. I'm just wearing this because I'm forced to.
Lunchbox
No, you lost a bet.
Amy
That's forcing me to force.
Lunchbox
Feels like we kidnapped you and put it on and said, if you don't wear this will kill you. Okay, you lost a bet. So you're wearing it, Right. You weren't forced to make the bed, Correct? Yeah.
Amy
And so he's like, all right, man. And so then I just moved to an outside table that way that he wouldn't ask me, like, because it was just random. Like, it was like he would work, help other people fill up some beers.
Lunchbox
He might have it and scared to talk about it. And you're the guy that you could have talked because your hat says, ask me about syphilis. And he did just what you asked.
Scuba Steve
And he's wanting to feel less alone.
Lunchbox
Like he wanted to show you his.
Scuba Steve
How many people actually have it?
Lunchbox
Will you look at mine and see if it's like yours?
Scuba Steve
Oh, no.
Amy
I shouldn't have run from him and sat outside. I should have stayed at the bar.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you should do research on it so you can actually share the gospel of syphilis.
Scuba Steve
I support that. I think that. Oh, man. It's too late to add to the bet, but I feel like he should have had to have some facts in his pocket, like a little card he has to pull out.
Raymundo
That's good.
Amy
Going a little overboard.
Scuba Steve
No, I'm not. People are supposed to.
Lunchbox
As a guy nuts on his neck. You're going a little overboard right now.
Scuba Steve
I just think you might as well turn it into a positive and be, you know, informative.
Lunchbox
Two more days.
Amy
I know.
Lunchbox
You do look like from afar, an LSU fan because the colors are very LSU Tigers.
Amy
Oh, yeah. But guess what? I see a lot of people up close.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
And you can see people look at you and read it. And just their look on their face is like, huh. They don't say anything, but they read it. And they are definitely confused and weirded out by me wearing this stuff.
Lunchbox
They probably Google can I catch syphilis from somebody close to me? And then they back away. Yeah, because he's a can't, right? Hey, can you catch the slunchbox from somebody close?
Amy
No. It's usually when you're doing the intercourse.
Lunchbox
There you go. Doing the intercourse. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Maybe we can go speak to some schools.
Amy
No, Amy used to do that.
Scuba Steve
I did.
Lunchbox
Yeah. But that was hers. Wasn't like she'd wear it and be like, hi, I'm Ms. Gonorrhea. That's true.
Amy
But she'd hold up.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. No, I would go into the high schools. I did have a. I did have slides. I had pictures of all the stuff. They were gross. It was.
Raymundo
Why did you do that?
Scuba Steve
This is my volunteer work.
Lunchbox
Here's the thing, though. The pictures. And she would show them to us.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It was worst case scenario. So it didn't matter what it was. It was. They found the absolute worst version of every disease. And they were like, kids, here it is. And then it. It was like a big wart with a little wiener. Yeah, not a wiener with warts.
Scuba Steve
I would go into the high schools. It was part of their sex ed. They would bring in this outside program, like an abstinence based thing. And I would talk all about all the things. And sometimes it was really, really awkward. At some of the schools, I would have pregnant girls in my class. And I was like, oh, they're in high school. And I didn't want them to feel any shame or embarrassment, so. Oh, it was difficult to navigate.
Lunchbox
It's difficult for us to look at the pictures.
Amy
I can't imagine high schoolers looking at those. You would show us and we'd freak out. So I can't imagine what they did.
Scuba Steve
Like.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I would imagine.
Scuba Steve
And we had all the same sayings and little activities. Well, I would try to explain to the why we were even saying this. I'm not sure, but we. I would talk about how men are like microwaves and girls, men, these are high schoolers. Boys are like microwaves and girls are like ovens. Just alluding to how quickly boys can get excited in the moment and how girls might be like, wait, what? We're more like an oven. And then also we had that 20 bill thing where we. I'd have a 20 bill and I'd stomp on it and wrinkle it up and make it all, you know, like, for what purpose? Well, just to show, like, if you were to maybe have syphilis or whatever, or you've made some choices that, like, you're still worth $20.
Raymundo
Got it.
Lunchbox
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Wow.
Raymundo
Even though it's wrinkled and gross, you're still worth 20 bucks.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Lunchbox
So these guys, I think the value. Think that's weird.
Scuba Steve
I, I, I know that's weird. You know, obviously it was, there was more to it than I'm giving you the, the quick version. But yeah, it's interesting times for me.
Amy
Slogans like smile for syphilis or anything or.
Lunchbox
She wasn't trying to get elected for Congress.
Scuba Steve
No, I was trying to get them to make smart choices before the, you know, because they're like a microwave and they just react.
Lunchbox
Guys.
Raymundo
Beep, beep.
Lunchbox
All right, news next.
Scuba Steve
Bones.
Lunchbox
A Florida bill would allow you to shoot down intrusive drones. Drones. This is interesting to me because we've had a drone over our house, But I will give you an update on our drone. It's not there anymore. It every once in a while will show up because I bought a drone to go and see what was up with that drone. But then it got winter and it was too cold. Drone set up there, I was just too cold. Yeah, I know. I'm a wimp. But then once it got warm again, it's not there as much. So every once in a while, we'll see it over our house. So that's the update. Very anticlimactic on that story. But I would have shot it down a long time ago. But I learned you can't shoot it down. You can basically just launch a counter drone to see what's going on with it. But a new bill before the Florida Senate have passed would make it open season on intrusive drones. The goal of the bill would be to expand the Sunshine State's overall restrictions of Unmanned aircraft systems, as the bill currently stands. Can't do that. And I think if it happened in Florida, it would probably happen in other states as well. I'd have shot it down. Day two, not day one, I'd have spent that day thinking about, do I really want to do this? Day two, I would have shot it down. Next up from Daily Mail. A California family landed themselves in handcuffs after deciding to go on a family bonding event. They went to Target on a shoplifting spree.
Scuba Steve
Oh, whoa.
Lunchbox
I know. It kind of sucks because on the night of April 16, the couple and their teenage son were caught on security cameras robbing a target in Upland, California. Shocking footage shared by the department showed the family walking in, dispersing, going to all the different places, and they were snatching electronic clothing and jewelry before they left without paying. That sucks. But it also sucks that there's a kid that's being taught this is acceptable.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Lunchbox
And I'm sure this is not the first time he was taught this is acceptable. So it's not a teenager who's like 16 going, oh, we're gonna go rob at 16. My brain's developed enough to know I shouldn't do it, but I can't. My feeling is this has probably been a culture for a while because you just don't do this the first time. Like that. That sucks. From People magazine, Joe Exotic marries a fellow prison inmate while serving his 21 year sentence. He says, meet my husband. Question, do you think he's doing this to stay relevant or he found love?
Scuba Steve
Maybe both.
Lunchbox
His view of relevance has got to be hilarious because he hasn't been able to be relevant outward. He has to just be told how famous he got and then he has to be told how famous he's not because he never got to experience either one. The up, the down. So it's different than somebody who does something who's wildly famous and then comes back and it's like, I gotta get back in the news. Let me do something crazy. He never really got to experience fame at that level other than letters. And maybe we interviewed him once from prison. Yeah, like that's probably new to his day, but he never really got to experience his fame. But I hope it's love the 62 year old. It doesn't say how old the other dude is. He looked much younger, though. I saw the picture of them.
Raymundo
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Hey, happy couple.
Eddie
33.
Lunchbox
33.
Scuba Steve
Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
We love a good age gap.
Scuba Steve
I wonder what he's in for.
Lunchbox
I didn't look well.
Scuba Steve
And then when you're married in prison. Like, do you get to hang out?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Amy
Oh, good question.
Raymundo
Probably during lunch.
Scuba Steve
Well, because, I mean, when you're married and you have an outside, like, maybe your wife or husband gets to come in and do a visit. But if you're both already there, he's.
Lunchbox
Serving time for immigration related issues. If that were the case, let's say I were in prison. And if you married somebody, you got to spend more time with them. I'm not even gay and I'd marry somebody. I just got to hang with my buddy more.
Raymundo
That's cool.
Scuba Steve
Oh, you would do the. Okay. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Let's say they put you as roommates. Let's say Eddie's in jail, I'm in jail, and you want to get married.
Scuba Steve
So that you can be roommates.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So then we can just, like, spend our time together instead of, like, having to worry about being out and about.
Raymundo
Can we just hang out without being married?
Lunchbox
Why do you never want commitment? You always do this.
Raymundo
Okay, we just play basketball.
Lunchbox
You always do this. Next up from Yahoo. A line of severe storms is expected to bring large hail, heavy rain and tornadoes all through parts of the south, extending from northeastern Kansas to Texas to New Mexico later this week. The storms could produce hail the size of baseballs. It has been storm central here. It was storm central in Arkansas. We were there for Easter the whole time. They had to cancel games. They canceled the softball game. Arkansas Razorbacks. They canceled the spring football game and autograph session. Although they could have had the autograph session inside. And I felt bad, people that traveled all the way up there. But, yeah, it's been crazy weather. Like, crazier than normal. It feels.
Scuba Steve
Is it later this week? Like, yeah.
Lunchbox
So I'd imagine, like late Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Scuba Steve
Okay, so Shira has prom on Saturday.
Amy
Oh, no.
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah. Her 18th birthday's on Friday. And then prom. And I was thinking a couple weeks ago, there was a prom in town and it was pouring rain. And I felt so bad for that school.
Lunchbox
I saw that. I was watching the guys on YouTube, the severe weather guys, and they were listing the schools that had prom, telling which of the schools was safe to go to prom. Now, dang.
Scuba Steve
Such a bummer.
Lunchbox
Weather's been crazy conspiracy nuts. Now think the Blue Origin space flight with Katy Perry and Gayle King was faked.
Scuba Steve
What?
Lunchbox
I've been watching a lot of. Once the pod landed, how they went up and opened the door and they're like, dude, you can't open it that way. Go get the machine. Do I think it was fake? No, go get.
Scuba Steve
What machine?
Lunchbox
The thing that opens the door.
Scuba Steve
It was like, so, like, how would have been fake, though? Like, are they coming up from the ground and then acting like they were in it?
Lunchbox
Let me read you the story, okay. Because what I saw people saying is it never actually went up. They just kind of got in the ground thing. They dropped it. I don't know. I don't think it was fake, though. But it's funny to think it was faked and Katy Perry just not that likable. Like Wendy's. Whenever they landed, Wendy's tweeted out. Can we send her back?
Scuba Steve
Oh, my. That's terrible. Wendy's, The. The hamburger plate? Yeah, that seems.
Lunchbox
Hey, trust me, it doesn't. Yeah, go ahead.
Scuba Steve
Well, I've seen a lot of memes involving her and I guess her. Her. Her speech after and how she felt going up. And it's so funny because they're like, oh my gosh, you were in space for like five minutes. Like, stop acting like you were saving humanity. They're kind of funny to watch. They compare it to that scene on Bridesmaids when the drunk bridesmaids is like up on like stage, like doing. Giving her speech and she's speaking Spanish and she's like, like she's not making any sense. And I saw this one of like Katie speaking and then going back and forth at the bridesmaid scene, and it was so funny.
Lunchbox
Despite the mission being streamed live, skeptics flooded social media with claims it was fake, citing supposed signs like bad cgi, odd behavior and microgravity. But then when it goes to, like, this was a satanic ritual, I'm like, okay, you guys are just looking for anything, any clicks at all. Yeah, that's a Daily Mail. I feel like they did it. I feel like they did it.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, like, I trust Gayle King.
Lunchbox
I don't trust anybody. I don't know. But Gayle King has some credibility.
Scuba Steve
Yes. She's Oprah's best friend. I trust them.
Lunchbox
That'll get you in trouble. Why blind trust? I barely trust you. We've been together 20 years.
Scuba Steve
Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
All right, that's the news. Those were Bobby's big stories. Bobby Bone show Bonehead story of the day.
Amy
This story comes to us from Brevard County, Florida. A 30 year old man had a crush on a girl at work. He's like, man, will you go out with me? She's like, no, don't like you. Week later, he's like, hey, will you give Me a chance. She's like, no, I don't like you. So he sat at home, he's like, how can I get this girl to feel sorry for me? What if I drive to work, shoot myself in the parking lot, she'll come visit me at the hospital. So he drove to work, parked in the back of the parking lot, Boom. Shot himself in the stomach at 5am when police arrived, said, oh, someone tried to rob me. They tried to rob me. They ran off into the woods. They took him to the hospital. She never showed up. Problem is the gun in the front seat matched the bullet casing at the scene.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's weird that it's. How can I get her to feel sorry for me? Not what can I do to get her to like me. And also, you're gonna shoot yourself in the stomach of all places. I mean, you have to, you know, make it like he got robbed, I guess. But if I did that, I would grab like, I'd pinch my fat and stretch it way out and then shoot me in that.
Raymundo
Just the skin.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Cuz I don't want it to go to like that. I don't want any organs, right? Yeah. And I'd be like, oh, they nick me. Yeah, that's crazy. Okay, I'm lunchbox.
Amy
That's your bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
A woman in North Carolina glued her eyelids shut because she thought they were eye drops, but they were super glue.
Scuba Steve
My gosh. Terrible.
Lunchbox
It was like the nail glue. The really sticky nail glue. Basically super glue. She was dealing with irritation in her eyes because of a dry contact lens. So she couldn't really see things were blurry because her eyes were so irritated. And then she reached for the eye drops and then realized, well, that doesn't feel like eye drops. Poison control says it's not uncommon for people to make this mistake. That she did the right thing by going to the emergency room. Experts say should never try to pry your eyelids. Oh, yeah, I would have pried it. Oh, I'd have found whatever version of a mini crowbar I could find in the house. It had been some kind of toothpick that I'd. I'd have been trying to pry those suckers apart. But don't. They say don't do that. But how you supposed to get. How you supposed to even get an Uber if you can't drive and you're by yourself?
Scuba Steve
Good question.
Lunchbox
I guess you ask your phone to call a friend.
Raymundo
Oh, right.
Lunchbox
And then have your friend call an Uber and don't crowbar your eyelids Open.
Raymundo
Do you think that's a slow dry or like.
Lunchbox
I think it's a pretty fast dry dry. Yeah, even the old school dry. Cuz my mom used to do people's nails for a little bit so she'd practice on me. Oh, it's tough going to school trauma. Yeah, a little bit. And so yeah, even then it would dry pretty quick. But I haven't had my nails done in years so I'm imagining now it's a lot quicker. Unable to drive, could do no other essential tasks. And the doctor says that her eyes are going to stay glued shut for another month and a half. Oh my goodness. That sucks so bad. That sucks so bad. And if they don't have something that can just.
Scuba Steve
They do, but it's not something you want to put in the eye.
Lunchbox
Like I know we have to put it on the eye because it's not really going to go in the eye yet because it's closed. But I guess if you open the.
Scuba Steve
Minute you open it.
Lunchbox
I don't know, you feel we need some kind of antidote here for this? Like if you create something that's super stick, you also should create the thing that undoes the stick, right? That you should reverse engineer that.
Scuba Steve
Well yeah, I think that that does exist. Just not safe for the eye.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I'm going back to the crowbar, guys. I gotta be honest with you. I'm back at the crowbar. That's from WCCB Charlotte.com that's it. Thank you for being here. Bye everybody. Mr. Bobby Bones.

Podcast Summary: The Bobby Bones Show
Episode: WEDS PT 1: Bobby Used Google To Diagnose Himself And It Worked! + What Celebs Have In Common Game + Why We Ignore Medical Problems In America + Restaurant Scams That Are Manipulating Us
Release Date: April 23, 2025
The episode kicks off with Lunchbox introducing an engaging discussion on how restaurants employ psychological tricks to increase customer spending. Eddie delves into six deceptive tactics commonly used in the dining industry:
Overpriced Signature Dishes (00:36):
"There's always one dish on the menu that seems totally overpriced... they're wanting to make the others look like a deal."
By featuring a high-priced item, restaurants make other options appear more affordable, subtly encouraging patrons to spend more.
Pre-Filled Tip Jars (01:12):
"Before you even show up to a restaurant, they have one of those tip jars. There's cash already in it."
This tactic leverages social proof, nudging customers to tip generously as they observe others doing the same.
Fake Daily Specials (01:53):
"Sometimes the daily special has been there for weeks, maybe months... it's about selling quickly before they throw it out."
Restaurants often label stagnant items as "daily specials" to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity.
Choice Architectures in Beverages (02:24):
"Instead of saying 'Would you like water?', they're offering 'still or sparkling water,' pushing customers towards the pricier option."
Currency Symbol Manipulation (03:48):
"If you put dollar signs like '$24,' it screams money. Without it, it's just a number, making prices seem less daunting."
Music Tempo to Influence Dining Duration (04:22):
"Slow music makes you stay longer, while fast music encourages a swift dining experience."
Restaurants strategically select music tempo to control the pace at which customers dine, thereby influencing their spending.
Insights: These manipulative strategies operate subconsciously, affecting customer behavior without their explicit awareness. Recognizing these tactics empowers diners to make more informed and financially prudent choices.
Lunchbox transitions the conversation to a pressing societal issue: the tendency of Americans to ignore medical symptoms unless they feel "serious." Citing a Talker Research study, the hosts highlight that 6 in 10 Americans overlook medical issues due to:
High Healthcare Costs:
"A doctor's appointment could bankrupt you. Americans don't take their health seriously because we don't have healthcare that allows us to prioritize it."
The exorbitant cost of healthcare and specialist consultations deters individuals from seeking timely medical attention.
Fear of Complex Diagnoses:
Even minimal health concerns can escalate into expensive problems if they require specialist intervention, further discouraging medical consultations.

Symptom Assessment:

Diagnostic Outcome:
The AI narrowed down potential causes to conditions like migraine, cluster headaches, and sinusitis. Based on his symptoms and existing medications for allergies, Bobby inferred that sinusitis was the likely culprit.
Resolution:
Following the AI's recommendations—taking antihistamines, applying a cold compress, and hydrating—Bobby experienced relief within 20 minutes, validating the effectiveness of AI-assisted self-diagnosis.
