[Bobby Bones]

Come on, Bobby.

[Naomi]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up everybody? Welcome to Wednesday Show Morning Studio. Morning mom goes in, she's gonna have a baby. She's gonna have triplets. She's 45 years old. And so she gets in and they're like, all right, Here we go. 1, 2, 3. Congrat. What the heck There's a fourth. Oh, no.

[Amy]

There's a fourth baby hiding in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. And so we had talked to a doctor, and we'd asked, like, if this happens. Was that on this show? I was like, did you ever find in those sonograms? No, it was.

[Amy]

Was it with Jen?

[Bobby Bones]

It was Jen Hamilton. Yeah. It's coming tomorrow on the Bobby cast. And she was like, for the most part, that happens to people who don't have adequate health care because they don't do enough. They're not able to get sonograms. If it's like, you're having a baby and there's a second one hidden, that wasn't this. There were just so many babies in there. They were like, hiding. Hiding the other baby.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. She got pregnant. They were like, yep, sonogram it up. Oh, you have them triplets. And they're like, what the heck? And so then, okay, here they come. There's another one. Yep. What?

[Amy]

Well, I'm curious. Like, this just naturally happened or this was an IVF situation or it says C section.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't say anything about ivf.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because you can't have that naturally.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me just read through this. When she first got pregnant, she was told she's having triplets. Blender and husband. They had quadruplets. VSC section. Her babies, Amy, Amanda, Amber and Amon. Two. Name two. This is too close. She'll be yelling at them. They don't know who's being yelled at.

[Lunchbox]

Like, the way you just did.

[Amy]

I think they're gonna Turn into a 1, 2, 3, 4.

[Bobby Bones]

Through IVF. The couple can see babies through IVF.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, that.

[Eddie]

When you do IVF, don't you know how many babies you're putting in?

[Amy]

Yeah, but the likelihood of that happening. You're told this could result in multiple babies.

[Bobby Bones]

However, mom had eight.

[Amy]

It's.

[Eddie]

Right. But don't they know, like, okay, I'm putting four babies in you. So you. You're going to have four babies?

[Amy]

No, because it doesn't always. It doesn't work that way.

[Lunchbox]

More than four.

[Bobby Bones]

They'll put full babies in there, by the way.

[Eddie]

Well, no, I understand, but they put the embryos. The embryos. So they know how many embryos they're putting in your body. So.

[Bobby Bones]

But they don't all make it.

[Amy]

Right. That's the whole thing. Like, it. You may do that and none make it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And. And that's why when Bobby said in the story, they were like, what? I'm like, okay, wait, was It a what? All of them survived. Or was it a what? How are we pregnant with four?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, I would be so, like, how am I gonna afford this?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, okay, but is there one of those? If you're already having three and you're like, how am I gonna afford this? Isn't it kind of just the same three?

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. I think four.

[Lunchbox]

Because you're probably already stressing about the three.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but I mean, it's like one a lot. Two. Oh, that's crazy. You're having twins. Three. Holy crap. Four. Okay. What's the difference?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, four. I'm out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, oh, you're jumping.

[Lunchbox]

Where's the exit?

[Bobby Bones]

McDonald's is ending self serve soda where you go up and just do it yourself.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, mostly because I think people are stealing. There's also reduced labor. They're saying maintenance demands.

[Amy]

But if you ask reduced labor, wouldn't it be better that you're doing the work for yourself? If they don't have the labor, like, you're the labor.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you've got to do the maintenance and you've got to do. I'd assume the constant filling.

[Amy]

I think a killing off of soft drinks like that. I think that's the biggest money drink.

[Bobby Bones]

What a flex. You sound so intelligent. Soft drinks, sodas. Hit us with the soft drink.

[Amy]

Okay, well, maybe I'm doing restaurant speak, but I. Soft drinks are a big money maker.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they're gonna make even more because you're gonna have to, like, go to them or pay more. One of the two. The company plans to complete the transition. That means no more suicides.

[Lunchbox]

Let's be honest, I never had one of those.

[Bobby Bones]

They tasted terrible, but they were fun to make a little bit of all you.

[Lunchbox]

Sounds gross.

[Bobby Bones]

It was called a suicide. Was it called that where you guys lived?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, my friends would do it, but I wouldn't do it.

[Bobby Bones]

There is something called perpetual stew. Anybody have this when they grew up?

[Eddie]

Never heard of it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's basically a soup that people keep boiling and adding into. And it never stopped. Days, weeks, months. The soup just always exists. You just keep adding more to it as it eats. Some of the soups always. It never leaves.

[Amy]

Is that safe?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, experts say it's safe as long as you maintain a constant high temperature. But if it's always at a high temperature, is it safe? That doesn't burn the house down. Right. Feels like a different well.

[Amy]

So by that logic, anything in your fridge, you throw it in and boil it, is it then safe again?

[Bobby Bones]

The Soup or the food?

[Amy]

Because I'm like, say I open some spaghetti sauce. On the jar, it says, eat within seven to 10 days of opening. Well, what if on day 15, I just boil the sauce?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if it works that way.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, perpetual stew is a continuously cooked dish where ingredients and liquid are added over time and then everything's eaten. Goes back to the Middle ages where they always kept it. Feels like the Olympic flame to me.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that keeps going.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like the dish is just always going. Travels across the world. It's always being cooked. Everybody has some.

[Amy]

Just like remnants are left. And then you keep adding to it.

[Bobby Bones]

It is a thousand year long standing tradition. But if someone's like, would you like some perpetual stew? I'm going to pass. I'm just going to have the burger there.

[Lunchbox]

I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm really not the burger guy. At places, I'm like, oh, this is interesting. But I'm going to not eat the perpetual stew. That's from Food and Wine Bones. Did you see the video of the woman in her car driving on the sidewalk?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Chasing the kid on his bike.

[Amy]

I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

She was driving on the side. It was insane. So it's one of those, they say dirt bikes, but it's one of those bikes we're talking about on the podcast that has like a little electric bikes. Yeah, but it's more than that because they make noise. A guy have an E bike. It makes no noise.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

These kids in our neighborhood, it makes noise.

[Amy]

Maybe it's more of a homemade one.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Amy]

Like, they rigged it.

[Bobby Bones]

This woman has been arrested. And if you've seen the video, you're going, I thought it was AI. Because she's literally driving on the sidewalk trying to run this kid over on his bike.

[Amy]

But why?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure because he was driving. It's a kid. I'm sure it's a kid driving. Kind of dumb.

[Amy]

So an adult woman made that? That's how she was gonna handle it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Cool.

[Naomi]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So her name was Wendy Clemente. Driving on the sidewalk as the boy tried to outrun her. They're gonna pull it up. Witnesses pulled the child out of the way just before the kid would have been hit. Police say about a half hour later, she was reported to be trying to enter a home and she was arrested. Sounds like if you're entering a home and you get arrested, it's not your home.

[Amy]

Right. I feel like there's more going on with her.

[Bobby Bones]

She told officers she's trying to find dogs to spend time With. She admitted to police that she had been drinking. Okay, but we're gonna pull this up and you're gonna go, what the crap? The other story was that hantavirus that's happening. That's how you say it?

[Amy]

Hunt us.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hanta. H, A N, T, A. Oh, I

[Amy]

thought there was an S. My bad.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they've been locked on that ship. The ship won't come in, and people have died from it.

[Amy]

It's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

It reminds me, Remember that cruise boat when everybody had Covid, and they were like, we don't know enough about COVID So we're gonna hold them on the boat. But this is way worse. Here, look at this woman in the car chasing this motorcycle.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. Yeah. I feel like if she was drinking, she might think she's in a video game.

[Lunchbox]

That is not slow.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. And that's a normal sidewalk.

[Amy]

Yeah, there's.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even like, a big sidewalk. There's trees on the side of it.

[Amy]

Yeah. She's in a neighborhood.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're watching us on YouTube and we're showing you this at the same time, this is from. What is it? Msnbc. Is that the clip we're showing here?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a normal, small neighborhood. She's even hitting, like, curbs.

[Lunchbox]

It looks like they're shooting a movie.

[Amy]

Thankfully, she's in a tiny Ford Focus, because otherwise she wouldn't fit.

[Bobby Bones]

You're right.

[Lunchbox]

That's true.

[Amy]

I mean, this kid must be like, what in the world?

[Bobby Bones]

Think about the people who are, like, taking care of their grass, though.

[Lunchbox]

I know, right? And she's running all the way because

[Bobby Bones]

that is some green grass.

[Amy]

Oh, she definitely hit some sprinkler heads.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, how crazy is that? And imagine she wakes up sober today. Oh, and she sees her doing this.

[Amy]

Yeah. Hopefully this is her rock bottom.

[Bobby Bones]

By the way, you can watch us on YouTube. We're on YouTube right now, live at Bobby Boneshow. So back to the hantavirus. So it does spread person to person. It has a 40% mortality rate. It is responsible for the outbreak on that cruise ship. Now, they're not saying it's because the cruise ship. Somebody got on the ship, probably they had it. It's killed three passengers. It's sickened seven others, typically. And I did some light reading about it last night. It's rat poop or it's rodent poop that it comes from. And so this isn't an exception because this is a strain because that is now able to be transferred human to human.

[Lunchbox]

And they're all stuck on a boat.

[Bobby Bones]

If I were on that boat.

[Lunchbox]

Jump. Jump.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd probably think about swimming. Yeah, I wouldn't really, but I'm thinking about it.

[Lunchbox]

But what do they do with the sick people? Like, they've got to put them away. Right. As soon as you feel symptoms like you go to your room, you've got to just.

[Bobby Bones]

They all get grounded. That's what it sounds like. Go to your room. Yeah. No, I think everybody's in the room. I don't think.

[Naomi]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think everybody is now quarantined.

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't think there's still like, bingo

[Lunchbox]

going on or there's no buffet, no cornhole.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. You don't do Amy's walks in the morning?

[Amy]

Yeah. No sunrise walks or you have blackjack? No. I was curious too, about consumption of food. Like, because if they don't know who all has it and you have people preparing food because they have to eat or drink water, like, is it being delivered? So I would only trust bottled water or prepackaged food. And do they have enough of that?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not an infection specialist, but I was reading a bit last night where it seems like the strategy would be to get someone that for sure doesn't have it from off the boat to go in protected to test with a few people in quarantine to make sure they didn't have it. And they were the designated food preparers.

[Amy]

Yeah. Or could. I was picturing a helicopter or a drone dropping off like, you know, bottled water and.

[Bobby Bones]

But somebody's gotta get it and deliver it too. Doritos. Yeah, Doritos would be n. Like that or whatever. We're wondering how they're going to survive. And Amy's taking a coriander.

[Amy]

No, I'm thinking of like bagged food that doesn't really go bad.

[Lunchbox]

Are they near like a port? Like, are they just like a few miles or like a.

[Bobby Bones]

From what I saw, they are close enough. But as of right now, no one is allowed to let them come in.

[Amy]

Oh my gosh, I would be terrified. And they are.

[Bobby Bones]

Quote, we do believe there may be human to human transmission that is happening among the really close contacts. The MV Hondius started the weeks long voyage in Argentina, March 20th. The hantavirus strain. And it just goes into some of the data about it. New York Post with that story. So I've been watching that. What caught me first was the guy in the room going, oh, my God, I can't believe this. And he was crying and so I was just watching that. I didn't know what hantavirus was, but the longer this goes, the more the story gets out.

[Amy]

I know it's heartbreaking, his plea for people to understand that. Like, as you're hearing this, he's like, we're real humans on here. Like, we're just. You know, it's not just some news story that's crazy. Like, this is really happening to humans.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you're a country that lets them in, are you putting your own people at risk? Because if you're letting them into your country, you're probably funneling them somewhere else on land where they're not able to get out and expose anyone. So crazy, tragic, sad, all that. And just imagine you're on the boat and you're not sick, and you're like, what's happening? Yeah, because I know. Do they shut the Internet off so you don't read all this stuff?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And if you have a balcony, cool, right? Like, in your room. But if you're in one of those rooms in the middle where it's like a. Just a cell.

[Amy]

Yeah, but do you want to go on your balcony? Because what if your neighbor's on the balcony and they have it and it.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I would bet it doesn't jump across balconies. If. I'm betting again, I'm not a hunter.

[Amy]

I'm thinking, like, airborne. Like, if it's. If you're close enough in proximity to another human, like, I don't know what has to happen. Is it. Are you. You know. Cause, like, Covid, we had to stay six feet apart.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You ain't gotta be six feet if you're.

[Lunchbox]

I think you're good on the balcony.

[Amy]

Okay, but on my balcony, there was one divider of me and the person.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you're not gonna be six feet from them.

[Eddie]

And the wind. I mean, all the. I mean.

[Amy]

Yeah, the wind blows it right into you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I've just.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, mostly, if it's ever been gotten by a human, it's been humans in contact with infected rodents, mainly deer, mice and rats breathing the airborne particles from their urine droppings or saliva. But it's not been from. Once a human gets it, passing it over to another human.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is what's crazy. So there's the update on that, if you guys want to call us. Not about that. I'm done talking about that. But you gotta see that story of that woman driving on the sidewalk.

[Lunchbox]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's insane. What if you're her kid and you have to go to school today. And they're like, yeah, your mom was driving drunk on the sidewalk. I think about that stuff now that I have a kid, embarrassing my kid because I never used to think that, but now it's like, I can't drive drunk on a sidewalk. Cause I don't want to embarrass my kid.

[Lunchbox]

Sorry, man. Can't do that anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

I might have.

[Lunchbox]

Those days are early.

[Bobby Bones]

But now I don't want to. Now, no way, man. I'm going to play this song. And so her name is Stella Lefty. This song's awesome. It's blowing up. Gary Levox was singing this on a boat. Here, play the Gary Levox clip.

[Lunchbox]

On a train back from Boston and

[Bobby Bones]

we're jumping the gun. And I'm telling you, baby, this the part where I run. But I like it when you know Gary Levox is elite singer Rascal Flats. And this is Stella Lefty. This song is called Boston. It's the Anonymous in. Hello, Bobby Bones. I just turned 24. One of my best friends since middle school, the kind of friend who used to plan surprises for me, only texted me HBD this year. No call, no Instagram post, nothing. I feel weirdly annoyed. Am I being dramatic, or is that kind of low effort for how close we are? Signed left on red on my birthday. A little dramatic. I can understand if you're upset because your friend didn't do anything for you, just in general, but it sounds like HPD is the only thing. I don't feel like an HPD text is bad, but if that friend usually, like, jumps in the mix, I can understand why it would be confusing. I think first you should evaluate if there's something going on in the friend's life that day that maybe didn't allow her to give full attention to your birthday.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's what was running through my mind, is capacity.

[Bobby Bones]

Because as I've been told, the whole world's not about me.

[Lunchbox]

You've been told that? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you believe that? Can you believe that? Yeah. So what I would say to do is don't look too much into this one thing. Maybe use this as a reason to reach out to your friend without saying, hey, I'm just checking on you because you didn't do more for my birthday. Just be like, hey, what's up? How's it going? And just see if there's anything there. And I think you'll learn a lot. Then. I wouldn't let one HBD define your value. In the relationship with your good friend. Yeah, right.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, it's giving you information. If it does seem a little, then, yes, then you can reach out. But I wouldn't reach out within a. Why did you only send me HBD for my birthday? No. Reach out with curiosity of how they are or what's going on in their life, or can y' all plan to do something soon, and then maybe that'll give you more information of what. What's going on.

[Bobby Bones]

There's always a little something going on. Everybody's lives got a little something going on. I found that I am probably 60% less responsive on text messages, especially quickly. Like, I'm pretty good at. Because it's just the baby stuff all the time.

[Amy]

I called you yesterday. You didn't answer. You called me, and you didn't call me back either. You called me, and now I'm like,

[Lunchbox]

wait, you didn't realize she called you?

[Amy]

No. Maybe I was like, I'm telling you, maybe you didn' have the capacity.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

[Amy]

Do you see? But, I mean, I wasn't going to make it a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

I missed three calls at the same time.

[Lunchbox]

Was it important?

[Amy]

Amy, I didn't call you. I didn't call him three times.

[Bobby Bones]

I missed three, but I would never.

[Amy]

It's like I was dying call you three times in a row.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't notice that you called. I do see it now because it's red. However, really no defense because baby was not sick. But, man, she just. I think having a little growing pains. Having a little reflex issue.

[Amy]

But I figured you also could have been working at that hour because I know you had podcast stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I can look. Hold on.

[Amy]

I think it was just before one.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I was in the middle of an interview, too.

[Amy]

Okay. So I was about to start my podcast. So I was trying to catch you right before.

[Bobby Bones]

But podcast advice needed it. Like, how do I talk?

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

What question to ask.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry about that. I was in an interview. Yes. And then it was just, well, that's baby palooza.

[Amy]

That's okay. And I think there could be a time in my life, it's really our filter, and depending on what's going on, there could be a time where I would have been like, oh, wow, Bobby hasn't even seen that I called or reached back out or. Because you don't miss a call. I mean, I know you might be missing out.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to answer a call.

[Amy]

Yes, exactly. So I. I would. Maybe I could tell Myself a story of, like, something's going on. But I hate a call when you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Not from. Yeah, but this from anybody. I don't like answering the phone. FaceTime.

[Amy]

This warranted a call, so what the heck now?

[Bobby Bones]

Now I'm like, what is it?

[Eddie]

Tell us more.

[Amy]

I'll tell you later. But also what I'm saying, get this person's curiosity about. Oh, like, should I be, you know, stressed out about this? Or am I being dramatic? Because now. Because I'm in a good place. Like, I was like, oh, yeah, whatever. We'll talk about it when we talk about it. It's not a big deal. Like, but I understand how little things like that loop in someone's head and get to them and ruin their day. But all you're doing is making the problem worse because you're telling yourself a story.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I agree with everything you're saying, but can I just say something about our specific. An acute diagnosis of our situation. Okay, why don't you text me after and be like, I know that I would see and be like, I would get back to you.

[Amy]

I know, but really, I had to go work too. So I was like, oh, well, called phone call didn't work, so we'll figure it out later. But I. I didn't let it spiral into something.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, if you call and you don't leave a text message, don't leave a message. I'll never hear it. But if you don't leave a text, I think it wasn't important. You just called.

[Amy]

Right? I know, but you didn't even know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't even know you called. But I. I say that now. I'll get back on track. But I. You guys don't know what it's like.

[Lunchbox]

No, man, we have no idea what it's like.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys, I could tell you stories for ages about babies, different language. I can give you some advice one day. You let me know when you need it. Okay. Hey, don't freak out about hbd. If HBD happens again and again, those type situations, you need to figure it out.

[Amy]

Yeah. I would say with thinking about how I'm with my friends over the years. Like, sometimes I do Instagram posts. The next year I may not. It doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't.

[Amy]

Also don't feel like Instagram stories because she mentioned that in the note. Like, an Instagram post does not equal the importance of your relationship.

[Bobby Bones]

It also could be that you're getting older and, you know, she's like, ah, I'm Making an Instagram post. We're adults.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but. Yeah, thinking back, I didn't do one on your birthday, but I felt bad about your birthday.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you did one on Eddie's.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, gosh. She noticed.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true. But it was further. It's further out from the baby.

[Amy]

It's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

True or false?

[Amy]

True. I haven't thought about it once.

[Eddie]

Yeah, right.

[Lunchbox]

Really? Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Did I do. Oh, no. But here's.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I be.

[Amy]

I know, I know. You do Eddie's as a joke.

[Bobby Bones]

I do Eddie's as a joke. Eddie has like 10 a year.

[Amy]

I know. He gets 10 years.

[Bobby Bones]

So now when I do it on his birthday, people don't believe him. And that's the joke to me.

[Lunchbox]

I got no birthday wishes on my birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

That's because. Yeah, so that's the joke. That's all a bit, you know.

[Amy]

I know. Don't worry. I don't think about it.

You don't be silly.

[Eddie]

Hi.

[Bobby Bones]

Voicemail.

[Naomi]

I just got a very sizable bonus at work. It's $30,000. And my plan was just to use it to pay bills and, you know, be smart with it and save it. Everyone else that I have talked to is doing something cool and make you feel telling me that I should at least do something for myself. So I'm just curious, what would you guys do?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm taking a bonus.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, 3, 0, 30,000.

[Bobby Bones]

We actually have her on. Because I was so blown away by this, so. Naomi, hey, we were just listening to your voicemail. It's Bobby. How are you?

[Naomi]

I'm good.

[Amy]

How are you?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm really good. Can we talk about this with you?

[Naomi]

Yeah, of course.

[Bobby Bones]

First of all, that is a heck of a bonus.

[Naomi]

It. It is, it is. And they upped the amount to even cover the taxes so that we got the dollar amount they wanted us to get.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Do you work for Santa Claus?

[Amy]

Yeah. What?

[Naomi]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Naomi]

None of us were expecting anything like this.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you like hit a performance goal or do they bonus the whole company?

[Naomi]

It was the whole company. We're going through some changes. We're kind of going from being small and independently owned to having some people come in and invest in us. And this was part of their investment deal that they wanted to take care of the employees.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go. I'm like a work over there. That crazy?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So you were given a literal $30,000 bonus. Wow. Not before taxes.

[Naomi]

Yeah, after tax.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I ask you a semi personal question?

[Naomi]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have to answer, but do you have more than $30,000 in debt? Not mortgage. Mortgage and car payment. Just say mortgage. Mortgage doesn't count.

[Naomi]

We, we have car payments, we have credit cards. We're definitely going to pay off everything that we can pay off that. That's the plan. But sometimes it seems like we should. I don't know, it feels like we should do something, especially with the kids, but we're a no vacation ever family where, you know, every dime extra we have goes into sports for the girls, for our girls.

[Bobby Bones]

I like to make a suggestion because it seems like you have too good of a head on your shoulder that I'm afraid that you're gonna look back at this in a few years and wish you would have at least done a little something. Now, it sounds like a lot of your people at work are like, we're going crazy. We're gonna buy 42 kegs. Or, you know, we're gonna buy what Lunchbox always wanted, like a. A boat car.

[Eddie]

Hot tub boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Hot tub boat. Yeah. Whatever it was.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think because your mind, your priorities are in the right place. If you were to take, like, $22,000 and go, this is the money we are earmarked to pay off a lot of what we need to pay off, and you take eight, and you create an experience for your family this summer, I think that would be not only responsible, but I think that would be something that you would be appreciative and grateful for seven years from now. Now, I don't think you go half and half. I don't think you definitely go all 30 and party with it, but I do think something like a 228 split is something where you're getting enough paid off with this money that is kind of coming out of nowhere. And also, man, memories are so freaking cool. And I don't think there's anything wrong that's an investment into your family. Knowing what I know, that would be the advice that I would give you. Amy.

[Amy]

Yeah. How old are your kids?

[Naomi]

One just turned 14, and the other one turns 13 in August.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, perfect age to make memories, I would say. You know, some parents may want to spoil kids or buy them something, but doing like Bobby said and making it a trip. I saw an article recently, and I'm just paraphrasing here, but it was talking about kids and family vacations and memories. And it doesn't have to be somewhere extravagant or far, but just being intentional about getting away and seeing some of the. The world. And by that, I also mean the United States as a family. And making memories is far more impactful than gifts for children.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't think that 22. 8 split feels weird. I feel. I feel like that's a responsible split. I hope you do that again. I don't know, all the nuance of, you know, what you got to pay to Who. Maybe you got bookies, they take your kneecaps out. We don't want that to happen if you do. But congratulations on the bonus. That is a significant amount of money to just come into. What are you leaning towards right now?

[Naomi]

I mean, obviously, we're paying stuff off, but my daughter has her golden birthday in August, and she's making a really big deal about it. She was born August 13, 2013, and this year, it'll be turning 13 on August 13, 2026, which is double 13. And she's a really big Taylor Swift fan, so she's been dying to go to Nashville to see the Taylor Swift stuff in Country Music hall of Fame. So we. We were kind of tossing around that idea. So it's, you know, Nashville. It's not a big trip or anything crazy. But, you know, that might be what goes. Goes what happens now that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that would be a fun vacation. And I'll tell you this. If you guys do come, I would love for you guys to come to the studio, and we'd love to meet you just to kind of put a little bit of, hey, let's come. Let's do it to Nashville. Come. If it's something that kind of, you know, makes it happen, pushes over the finish line, come to Nashville. Come hang out with us. We'd love to meet you. I think that's a fun trip for everybody. I think your other kid would like that, too. Nashville's got a lot. I mean, go down to the bars. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's no rules in drinking in Nashville at 12. It's like Mexico, 12, 13. Sit at the bar, have at it.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Naomi]

No, we do lunch time. They can go at lunch time. They'd enjoy. Yeah, they'd enjoy seeing all the, you know, the Laney bars and Morgamol and all the bars down there.

[Bobby Bones]

I would encourage you to do something with the memories. Pay off a lot of the bills. I like my number split. I'm very into numbers and clean numbers. But if you do come to Nashville because your daughter wants to do that. I never heard of a golden birthday. I thought she was 50. I'll be honest with you. I didn't know what that meant. You are more than welcome, as part of your trip, to come and visit us, and we'd love to see you.

[Naomi]

Oh, I love that idea. I will definitely keep that in mind. They would love that, because we're all big Bobby Bones show fans.

[Bobby Bones]

And you can meet Daniel.

[Naomi]

They listen with us. Oh, my husband just texted me and said make sure you call unbox Daniel.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay? You can meet Daniel, too, when you come in.

[Eddie]

You guys are so stupid. Like, I mean, that's a dumb trip. Like, you need to do something. You can't do something just for your daughter that's turning whatever the golden birthday. Then the other daughter's like, well, then on my birthday, I need it. I mean, don't. Don't come here. We don't like you.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Lunchbox]

That's not Daniel.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not Daniel. You're being lunchboxed right now.

[Amy]

No, there is plenty to do where both girls would.

[Eddie]

But I'm just saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it two girls or one girl?

[Naomi]

One, for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you have two girls?

[Naomi]

No, no. Two girls. Okay, they're both girls.

[Lunchbox]

Look, I found a boat online right now for $29,935.

[Amy]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

Under 30,000 tax.

[Eddie]

Perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

Taxes. Oh, yeah, yeah. You'll cover the taxes.

[Lunchbox]

What's the difference?

[Amy]

But also the. Eddie, are you not listening?

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Amy]

We're. We're putting money away and then having a trip.

[Lunchbox]

Is that a sign that it's just under $30,000?

[Bobby Bones]

A sign that you look for it because you wanted a vote?

[Lunchbox]

That's what I Googled.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Under 30,000. Okay, so that would be our advice. Naomi, if you do decide to follow up on it, will you guys give Naomi somebody's email or number or something that she can get in touch with us? We would love to have you up here. If not, just let us know what you decide to do. But you ask for advice, pay off a lot of the stuff, but do something special, too, because I think you might regret it later on.

[Naomi]

I love that, and I appreciate that advice because I've been really hard on myself about actually just spending the money to go do something cool instead of being fully responsible with it.

[Amy]

I understand you are, but look at it this way. You are being responsible by setting aside some to. To take your family on a trip. That is. That's not being irresponsible at all whatsoever.

[Lunchbox]

You're.

[Amy]

You're being intentional about making some memories and having some family bonding, which is equally as important as setting money aside for bills, because it sounds like you're. If you're putting 22, $24,000 towards some of your debt, that's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's inspired me. You know what? Bonuses for everybody here. I got a free quarter for everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Quarter of what?

[Bobby Bones]

A dollar? Everybody gets a free quarter at the end of. I think people are confused, too, about that. I don't pay this show's Salary. They don't pay. That's the company.

[Lunchbox]

But you could make a call, right? You can be like, hey, guys, can you give Amy call?

[Eddie]

They would be like, send an email.

[Amy]

No. The only thing he could do. Which you don't. I'm not saying. But they. You couldn't call, and they would just be like, okay, Bobby, no problem. We'll pay them more.

[Bobby Bones]

Choose your words.

[Amy]

I am, because I know. But I've seen you do this before. Not for us in this room. We're fine. There's been times where there's other. I've seen you do it since even 15, 20 years ago. You being like, hey, I'll take this out of my pocket to pay this person this.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I do this.

[Amy]

That's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

With most of the room now. Not you.

[Amy]

Not in this.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Yes.

[Amy]

Okay, maybe some people in this room,

[Lunchbox]

but, yeah, let's go.

[Amy]

Well, why not me?

[Bobby Bones]

You don't need it.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. No, I'm joking. I. I know that's how you work, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Free quarter. Hit me up, guys. I give you a quarter. I have one of those little belts. Here's your quarter. Naomi, I'm so glad you called. I hope. Hey, whatever decision you make is going to be the right decision. Right? Because you care. So it's going to be the right decision. Final time. I'll say it. I do want to meet you guys if you come to Nashville. I think that would be a super fun trip. There's a lot to do and, yeah, congratulations on the bonus.

[Naomi]

All right, well, thank you. I appreciate all the advice, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Bye, Naomi. Bye, Bones. This person did a 60,000 piece puzz. Is that a lot? Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

I think It's a record.

[Lunchbox]

1,000 is a lot.

[Amy]

Yeah, overwhelmingly.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you ever seen a 60,000 piece puzzle? Never.

[Amy]

I don't even know where. Where do you do that? On a gym floor. Yeah, right.

[Lunchbox]

Unless the pieces are really tiny.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, would you do it? Could you do it in a garage? Like, take all the cars out and do it?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lou Solace took four years and put together a 60,000 piece puzzle. Oh, it's gigantic. He's laying on it.

[Lunchbox]

How big does the room look?

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like if you're in a convention center.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, dang.

[Bobby Bones]

The big floor. Yeah. I just never heard a puzzle that big over 800 hours. Put it together from CBS Evening News. Man, that is some commitment. Biggest puzzle you've ever done.

[Amy]

A thousand.

[Bobby Bones]

You?

[Lunchbox]

One thousand. I got a. I got a table, too, for my birthday. A puzzle table. That fits a thousand piece puzzle. It's pretty cool, man. It's like, you know how an architect has their drafting board? I have a puzzle board like that.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's how, you know we're getting older, Everybody. Lunchbox's mom now loves Riley Greene. Right? This just in.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Breaking news.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Eddie]

She watched the I Heart Country Festival the other night on Hulu, and she used to love Luke Bryan. She went to the show a few years back and Luke Bryan performed, and she was like, whoa, this dude is amazing. And I love the way he danced. Well, she watched on Saturday, and all she could talk about on Sunday was, oh, Luke Bryant. I'm done with him. The new guy is Riley Greene. She goes, I've never heard his music before, but, whoo, was he nice to look at. And then I go, well, he's gonna be on our cruise next year. She goes, oh, well, maybe I need to come on the cruise.

[Bobby Bones]

What if, hypothetically, Riley grand. Your mom disappeared? No, no.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just saying. No. What?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie]

What? Oh, no, no, no.

[Amy]

That wouldn't happen.

[Bobby Bones]

They disappeared together. And she's like, don't tell your dad.

[Eddie]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you cover for your mom?

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you tell your dad. Yeah. That your mom disappeared into a room with Riley Green.

[Eddie]

100. Her crush.

[Bobby Bones]

What if your dad said it's okay?

[Eddie]

Well, then, I mean, I can't do anything about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you be okay with it?

[Eddie]

No. I'd be really weirded out, and I'd look at my mom differently.

[Amy]

But you fight Riley Green.

[Eddie]

Why would I fight?

[Lunchbox]

He wouldn't win that, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's dumb.

[Eddie]

My mom made a choice. I'm not gonna fight my Riley Green because my mom decided What?

[Lunchbox]

My father.

[Bobby Bones]

My new dad. I mean, Riley Granger. Stepdad. Dude, that's crazy. She said.

[Eddie]

She said, excuse me. Where has Riley Green been? And why am I just now seeing this man?

[Bobby Bones]

I looked over backstage and I saw Amy talking to Riley Green.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, she was Amy.

[Amy]

We did something on Hulu.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but then afterward, you guys were, like, facing away from the cameras, having a little chat.

[Amy]

Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't remember that.

[Eddie]

I don't.

[Amy]

I feel like. I don't really don't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, all right.

[Lunchbox]

Well.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't know if you had anything to.

[Eddie]

Are you trying to fight my mom for Riley Green or something?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Is there a battle?

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't say anything was going on. There's no need to rire me.

[Amy]

I'm just saying I'm not worrying you. You literally no I'm just saying, I don't remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

I looked over and you have to facing away from the cameras to have a little chat. Oh, my.

[Eddie]

What are you guys talking about?

[Amy]

I don't know because I don't remember this moment. It's probably like, hey, how's it going? Not much.

[Eddie]

I'm single.

[Bobby Bones]

He said not much to how's it going? That's not the answer to that question.

[Amy]

I don't know. I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you getting a little scrambled right now? Are you turning red? Yeah.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

How's it going? Not much. Sounds like you're a little scrambled right now.

[Lunchbox]

And then you meowed in the middle.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Now are we moving on? Is that what we're doing?

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Lunchbox was with me and Riley the whole.

[Bobby Bones]

No, when I saw it wasn't with you and Riley. Lunchbox was with some dude with a cool jacket. He was like, walking around. That jacket is fabulous.

[Lunchbox]

The pleather one or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

No, not one with him either.

[Bobby Bones]

An Amy story from the festival was. You know how our hotel room, we had those beds and you get out of the bed, it knows you got out of the bed. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

The light turns on.

[Eddie]

So cool.

[Amy]

Yeah, so cool. Or so annoying. So I get in bed and lay down, and all the lights in the hotel room are off except for the ones on the bed. And I'm like, where's the light switch for those?

[Bobby Bones]

So there were these little lights built into the very bottom of the bed.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's if they sensed you got out of bed, they came on.

[Amy]

Yeah. This is before I knew they were. Yeah, there was a sensor. So I'm like, I keep getting up. And so therefore, every time you get up, the lights stay on longer. And I couldn't find the switch, and it was driving me crazy. So I got pillows and I laid pillows in front of them. And I was like, that'll solve it. Except for the pillow doesn't block it all the way. So there's light seeping through the sides. But the pillows are keeping the sensors going. So that's why I thought the lights were just always on. And so the next day, I'm telling someone, they're like, how'd you sleep? And I was like, pretty terrible because I couldn't figure out how to get those under those lights under the bed off. And they're like. They're sensors. Like, after you lay down for a couple of minutes, they'll turn off. Well, I just was impatient. Never gave it a couple minutes. So night two, my sleep was much better because I laid there patiently and the lights went off.

[Eddie]

I worry about Amy.

[Amy]

How was I supposed to know there was a sensor?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I thought that too, but as soon as I laid down and like they turned off, I realized, oh, they're a sensor.

[Bobby Bones]

And then when you got up again and they came on, oh, look, it's a sensor. And then when you got back in the bed went off, another sensor.

[Amy]

But see, I never laid down long enough for them to go off, so I didn't know it.

[Bobby Bones]

It happens.

[Eddie]

Like, did you ever walk in the bathroom when the sensor light went on?

[Amy]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Oh yeah, the bathroom was.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the bathroom was sensor too.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's got pillows all the way blocking the bathroom door. Just can't get it off. Spring is in the air and it leaves Long lasting pain Relief is here to keep you moving. The days are longer.

I insisted first. Don't be silly.

[Bobby Bones]

They're starting to prepare to send people to Mars. So they're doing experiments with people to see if they can live. And what would be the situation if you went to Mars? So these aren't really the astronauts, they're just like testing people. So great to come do it. So here are the things that you have to do during the test. And you make pretty good money. But you are sealed in a simulated space station. And when you go in, you're not allowed out until August. Again, it's a good payday. They don't torture you or anything, but they want to see what the effects of the human body would be. Number one, you must submit to regular blood tests, which, as we've learned, Eddie and Lunchbox great at that.

[Lunchbox]

No problem.

[Eddie]

No problem. I could do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two, you can't communicate or make eye contact with medics or any other officials because those medics or officials won't be on the actual ship up. But while on Earth, they have to come in and do it. So you can't actually talk to them.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Amy]

Or look at them.

[Bobby Bones]

Or look at anything. Yeah. Really, they don't exist. Other than put your arm out because there'd be some sort of machine that takes your blood if it were actually going to space.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, we can do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up, you must exercise for an hour a day. Okay, that's tough. Okay, that'd be tough. What else are you gonna do? I don't know.

[Eddie]

You have nothing else?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's what he wants to do, though. Nothing. That's Eddie's goal in life, to do nothing. So you do have to exercise an hour every day. You can only shower for five minutes twice a week.

[Eddie]

I love that.

[Amy]

What can you do?

[Lunchbox]

Five minutes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I mean just jump in, jump out.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's probably to conserve water.

[Lunchbox]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

You have limited clothing and laundry facilities, but if you're not showering a whole bunch, and it's probably like a scrubs, who cares, right? And if you stink, like when I stink, it don't bother me that much. It just bothers my wife. Does it bother you guys if you yourself stinks?

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

No, you smell good.

[Amy]

I don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't know. That's true. It just is a thing.

[Lunchbox]

I don't mind my stinky smell.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

You can only eat rationed, prepackaged space style foods. No fresh fruits or vegetable. Basically you're just getting those little packs.

[Amy]

That would be tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Six months or so. No alcohol or energy drinks.

[Lunchbox]

I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm good there. You're allowed just a 12 hour video call with the family once a week.

[Lunchbox]

12 hour?

[Bobby Bones]

12 hour one.

[Lunchbox]

So it's consecutively two hours?

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Once a week. That'd be tough. That'd be tough for me now with a new baby.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that one will be you.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, yeah, we can probably get it all in in two hours.

[Bobby Bones]

You think?

[Lunchbox]

I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Only one small shoe box of personal items is allowed. Oh, what else do you need?

[Eddie]

I mean, what else do you need?

[Amy]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

You only get privacy in your tiny sleeping pod and in the bathroom. And you can only sleep at regulated times between 11pm and 7am oh, can't sleep in.

[Eddie]

No, that would suck.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't form relationships with the other travelers because it could impact team dynamics and performance. There's also a strict rule of no hooking up. A trip to the moon takes around four days, but traveling to Mars takes around six months. So astronauts will be trapped together and can find quarters with limited resources as they journey far away from home. So basically, I mean, maybe a year. But let's say they were doing this for six months for $300,000. Would you do this for six months?

[Eddie]

Yes. Yeah. $300,000. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All of this. And if anytime you don't do what they're saying, you get kicked out and

[Amy]

no money, is it taxed?

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's a good question.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? No, you get $300,000.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I think you can do it. But what?

[Bobby Bones]

You could. But would you want to? Would you go? Yeah, I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

I think I'm out.

[Eddie]

Why are you out?

[Lunchbox]

I'm out. The food situation's not good. Not doing it for a year. Was a year no it's six months. Six months?

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, no real human interaction.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the only part I like. No human interaction other than my wife and kid.

[Naomi]

That.

[Bobby Bones]

You love that. Yeah. That's the part I'm into. No alcohol.

[Amy]

I mean, I get that you think you won't like that, but it's just not good for your soul.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you.

[Amy]

Like, on a sub level.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think I would like that. I probably like that.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay. I think you. I think you think you know, you would like that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think. I think. I know. I know I'd like that. The right now would be tough for me to do that because of the video call. Once a week, two hours. I got an infant and I gotta watch her grow up.

[Naomi]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So I would not do it for $300,000. You.

[Amy]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

You.

[Eddie]

I think I'd do it. And here's the thing. I get it. Why you? Because an infant can't really talk to you. Your kids, like, my kids are old enough where they'll be able to communicate and tell me what's been going on in their life. You'll just be able to look at the baby and be like, what have you been doing? You're growing. Oh, wow. So there wouldn't be much communication. My kids, we could, you know, talk. So I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Catch up in that two hours. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You catch up in that two hours. Twice a week. Hey, how'd you do your game? How's school going? You know what I mean? Did you pass that test? No. It's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It's only six months. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie, no. Yeah, I know. I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

300, 000.

[Lunchbox]

I'm out. Man. There's a lot of things that we're gonna be missing out on.

[Eddie]

What if it was a million?

[Lunchbox]

Now we're talking a million.

[Bobby Bones]

That's worth the things you'd be missing out.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

A little different million dollars will do it.

[Amy]

Definitely. A little different million for you, Mike. Probably even more so considering it now. Not tax.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's just obsessed with not taxed.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Amy]

Well, because if it's taxed, I'm like, no way. Get out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, get out of here with your. Your taxation. Wake up. You wake up in the morning. To put you through M's riding this week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby now. Time for the morning corny.

[Eddie]

The morning corny.

[Amy]

How do robots eat guacamole?

[Bobby Bones]

How do robots ate guagamole With Microchips. Microchips.

[Eddie]

That was the morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Corny. All right, voicemails. Let's go. Hey, Bobby. Hey, studio. I was just calling to get an update from Eddie on the kids spray painting. Did they ever catch who did it or. Let me know. This is Matt from the Permian Basin. Thank you. I had some kids in your neighborhood spray painting. You did?

[Lunchbox]

Night watch fell asleep. Yeah, I did. We did about a week and a half of night watch. We saw nothing. But the good news is they have not attacked again, so the signs have been cleaned. I've looked around for more graffiti. None. None there.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're not doing night watch to catch them. Now you're doing day watch to just find graffiti?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Like, if they hit again, we're gonna have to regroup and try to catch these guys.

[Bobby Bones]

You'll go back to sleep. Next one.

[Naomi]

This whole thing about Eddie and not going to the doctor is nuts.

[Bobby Bones]

Just suck it up. Go get it done. Knock it out.

[Naomi]

Feel good. You deserve it. Dude, just go to the doctor.

[Lunchbox]

For what?

[Bobby Bones]

For most testosterone.

[Lunchbox]

No, guys, let's see what I can do naturally first, and then I'll give myself a little, like, you know, a deadline, two months or whatever. I'll get checked again, and then we'll go from there. I've been doing squats, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think even if you did that every day for two months, it's gonna affect. I think that is such an incremental growth that it's good if you can get your testosterone to a normal level. That actually keeps it up. Yeah, Just from what I've been reading, but I keep doing. You don't worry about it. I guess. Don't go to the doctor.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, screw medicine.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Naomi]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You're lucky to have insurance. But he's like, I ain't going to. Okay, this is one more Eddie. One. Go ahead.

[Naomi]

I have listened to you for a very long time, and I believe that the only reason that Eddie has low T is because he's a lot older than Lunchbox. Let's take another test when Lunchbox is his age and see what his low T is. Thanks, Spice.

[Lunchbox]

I agree with that. But, I mean, what are we gonna do? Wait for two years?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I'm not gonna drop in half in two years.

[Lunchbox]

You might.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think he'd drop in half. No, I don't.

[Lunchbox]

You don't think so?

[Bobby Bones]

No, dude, it was significant.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but, dude, two years is a long time. And then life.

[Eddie]

And so Then another two years, you'll be down at zero.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm probably gonna stay. Maybe get a little higher, but you'll probably drop.

[Bobby Bones]

In two years, you might be a woman. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

With boobs.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Thank you for the voicemails. Always hit us up. 877-77-Bobby, that's our number. Leave us a voicemail about anything. 877-77. B O B B Y.

[Amy]

Lobby, bone show.

[Bobby Bones]

Bonehead story of the day.

[Eddie]

This story comes to us from Massachusetts. An 80 year old man was being evicted from his house. So he calls his friend, hey, I'm being evicted, I need help. 59 year old friend shows up and she's a beekeeper. She brought her colonies of bees and boom, released them on the police.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh my, that feels like what an evil villain would do in like a Batman movie. Show up with their bees and sic em on people. Wow. So I mean, what do the police do? Just swat them and arrest her?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they had to. She had to catch them. She's a beekeeper, so they had to call one in, get the bees under control. She's under arrest and she is going to jail for six months.

[Bobby Bones]

That's assault.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If you stick a dog on somebody, it's assault. If you sick bees on somebody.

[Lunchbox]

But is it multiple bees? Is that like all the charges?

[Amy]

I think however many people the bee

[Bobby Bones]

gets near, they have to track the bees.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Thousand bees.

[Bobby Bones]

Thousand 719 dead bees.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Several deputies were stung and one was hospitalized.

[Bobby Bones]

We struggled through that one.

[Eddie]

You get stung, hospitalized.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right.

[Eddie]

That's a tough word. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna be a controversial opinion by me, but this teenager licked a straw and then put it back so people would then use the straw. Right? Prison. Prison. Oh, now I'm not somebody who's all for putting people in prison. Prisons are overcrowded. Prison and then put them on tv in prison and then put them on social media. You do this, you go to prison and secretly let them out and tell them you can't do anything. You can't be on social media for like a month. We're just gonna say you're in prison and if you do anything again, we're gonna put you back in prison. We gotta start scaring people here. You can't be licking stuff and putting it back.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't agree?

[Amy]

No, I mean, I think there needs to be a consequence for this president. You know where I'm gonna go? I'm like, why are we sen prison for this? We don't send people prison for other things are far more.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but this. We're gonna let them out secretly. But we can be behind bars. He could be like, I shouldn't have done it. This cut. All right, listen, you little jerk. And you do that again. You're staying in here and you don't make a sound for a month. And if anybody sees you, we're gonna put you back in real prison.

[Amy]

Oh, so they have to, like, hide out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. For a month. Or come back, like, every couple days and do more from. I've been here for two days. I mean, I don't lick a straw.

[Amy]

I bet paying to hide them in a motel is cheaper than prison.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we're not going to keep them in prison.

[Amy]

I know, but what I mean is if they would fund. Because, like, how are you going to make sure that they stay home or they don't show themselves?

[Bobby Bones]

You scare them with more prison. Okay, don't be licking and then putting it back and somebody else to get your licks.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Why do you even do that?

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's. Because it. Not to me. But it's funny.

[Amy]

It's not funny.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but it's like when someone keys a car. That's not funny.

[Lunchbox]

No, not at all.

[Bobby Bones]

But as a kid, you thought that was like. Oh, it was crazy. Like, I did. You hit a mailbox of baseball bat. Oh, ha ha.

[Amy]

You run over a mailbox.

[Lunchbox]

You did that?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, that was just because you didn't. You didn't. You didn't see it.

[Amy]

No, I'm saying no. I had friends in high school. That's what they did.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's a weird friend.

[Lunchbox]

Feels like you damaged your car.

[Amy]

Not like friends friends, but yeah, like a group. Like it was a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd run over it. But why would you do that? Damage a car?

[Lunchbox]

That didn't make sense.

[Amy]

I don't know why they did it. It wasn't me. Like you just said, hitting it with friends.

[Bobby Bones]

With finger quotes. My friends.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That means you.

[Amy]

Yeah, people. No, people in my group. They did a lot of. They'd all just break into people's garages and steal things.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

It turns out Amy did more crime than little white criminals. Lunchbox didn't. He's been talking about it for 10 years.

[Amy]

Beer runs and would steal stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, and these are like, well to do kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Those guys did well.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why rich kids get in trouble, because they got nothing they don't have to Work or anything. They just got time, so they do stupid stuff.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Amy]

But they would be like, well, they left their garage open, and then they left the car in the garage open

[Lunchbox]

so they'd steal the car.

[Amy]

Right? Lwc.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, that was your group.

[Amy]

No, no, you just said it was your group, like in a. Yeah, I knew them. Yeah, well, one of them, I. I dated, but I didn't know he was doing that.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang, it's like you were dating a Hell's Angel. That's dangerous.

[Amy]

Remember the one that keyed my car?

[Lunchbox]

That's the one that tracks.

[Amy]

Yeah, it tracks.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy ran hard when she was a kid.

[Amy]

No, I thought he was a. I did. I didn't know he had this bad streak.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, you did.

[Amy]

Well, I learned it. And that's when we broke up. And then that's when he keyed my car.

[Bobby Bones]

So anyway, jail for the jail time. All right. And it didn't have to be a real jail, by the way, too. It could be one of those. You know how people get on those fake airplanes and, like, fake private planes. They go and take pictures. They're like, I'm on a private jet. You can be one of those. Be like, I'm in jail. And then put a big tatted dude behind him. That's like licking his lips in the picture. Yeah, he's holding his pocket. All right, cut. Then he didn't have to. We're done. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
