[Bobby Bones]

Diabetes in the United states. I mean 50% of Americans are pre diabetic.

[Dr. Priyanka Wali]

How preventable is type 2?

[Bobby Bones]

Extremely.

[Amy]

[Amy]

That's us taking hold of our life.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to Gentle world on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go. Come on Bobby.

[Caller/Listener]

Bobby Bone transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bo what's up everybody? Welcome to Wednesday show. More in the studio. Morning. Young people think that adults carrying cash is cringe. That's the headline.

[Amy]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Not only does Gen Z not want to use cash, they think that using it is cringe. At least that's what a new Harris poll found. They asked Gen Z, hey, what do you think about cash? And they're like, if you have it, it's cringe. Nobody pays with cash. I can tell you. I, I only have cash to tip. That's why I keep cash. Otherwise I don't pay with cash that often. Quote, I do not carry even a wallet with me anymore. And I carry my ID and my phone just in case. I use Apple pay for everything. One Gen Z explained. So mostly it's that it's technology. You do you carry cash on you?

[Amy]

Sometimes I will say I've started to use my phone a lot more. Feels cool.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife does not carry cash at all ever. And there have been times I've been like, hey, take this cash. She's like, what? What am I gonna do with this?

[Lunchbox]

Spend it.

[Bobby Bones]

Because she, she uses her phone for everything. If she's paying somebody, it's Venmo. If she's credit card on like Apple, pay in her wallet.

[Amy]

Yeah, I only just recently. Cuz we have that grocery store right below us and I used to always take my phone, my wallet, everything down there with me and now I just take my phone.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a cash man. I'm also a purse man.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wow, look at that.

[Bobby Bones]

I've had this, I've had this bag for a while. Relax. Yeah, no, I keep cash. Just to prove it, I keep cash. This is just tip and cash. That's it. Keep it folded up, ready to tip. Yeah, I don't ever want to be on the Internet of somebody who I didn't even tip me, man.

[Lunchbox]

You ever grabbed your wallet and not have cash in there? And yeah, it's stressful.

[Amy]

Like I feel like anymore because we have our phone.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what else I've been doing too? If for some reason I don't have cash, I now feel comfortable just going, hey, what's your Venmo? Yeah, like at a valet, like at an event. Once I had to park at a valet and the kid took my car and I didn't have any cash. I was like, hey, I'm gonna Venmo you a tip. So that was the deal. We talked about tipping because I tip at Sonic pretty good. I tip, you know, I pull up, I get like two waters with Nerds in it, and I tip them really well. But what's happened is I do tip probably high for Sonic. And this one person that I keep tipping with a hundred dollar bill, they never even look up at me. It's weird. It's bothersome to me. Yeah.

[Amy]

Even though you're not doing it for the thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not doing it for the thank you. But they don't even look up.

[Lunchbox]

That's so weird.

[Amy]

And it's like you're just. You just handed them a $100 bill and you.

[Lunchbox]

And you say that they do notice it's $100 bill.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they look at it. They don't look. So I got a voicemail about this. Hit it. About the Sonic person with the $100 tip.

[Caller/Listener]

I think the reason that he doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Say anything is because he thinks that $100 bill was a mistake week and he doesn't want to call your attention. So that way he can keep the hundred dollar bill. Just a thought.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good thought.

[Eddie]

Okay. You actually. You think it's. They think it was a one twice. Stick in my pocket.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

He's like, this guy can't see.

[Lunchbox]

He's making the mistake.

[Eddie]

He really is blind.

[Bobby Bones]

Most of the people are like, oh, thanks. And I'm not doing it for the thanks. Which one? Everybody didn't know. But it's not even. They just, like, look at it and then keep their head down. It's the same person who's done it twice, and I've just been motivated to tip more. And it's weird. It's like a competition thing.

[Eddie]

Now that's what you're motivated to do.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Maybe they just don't know how to express gratitude. Like, words are hard for them. Like, has he said anything else to you? Like, here are your drinks, or does he keep his head down the whole time?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they hand you the drinks first because I order on the app.

[Amy]

I know, but does he say any words to you?

[Bobby Bones]

No. No. Yeah, he walks up and he's like, two Route 44 water with nerds. Okay.

[Amy]

So he can speak.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, all right, thank you very much. And then I pull it out, hand it to him, and now I'm like, making sure he sees it, and he just takes it and walks right off. First time, not a big deal. Oh, he didn't even notice.

[Amy]

I feel like eventually you're going to be like, hey, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I'm not going to say, do.

[Lunchbox]

You notice I'm giving you $100.

[Amy]

Like, and at this point, like, after you do it, like, six times, you're going to be like.

[Bobby Bones]

Six.

[Lunchbox]

So how much more money you think about?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

You're saying you keep wanting to go back because it's a game now.

[Bobby Bones]

I just want a reaction, right?

[Lunchbox]

So just give him a thousand. See what he says.

[Caller/Listener]

It can't even be.

[Bobby Bones]

I hand him a whole stack.

[Amy]

At that point, you could be like, dude, how much does it take? Like, seriously, how much does it take to get a thank you?

[Eddie]

Yeah. How much?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even care about it.

[Michael Lewis]

Thank you.

[Amy]

I know you don't, but just.

[Bobby Bones]

I just want to look. I just want even. Even a visual. Like. Like, whether. Like, I was like, oh, you give them gold bars. I drive them up a car with a bow on it.

[Lunchbox]

Nothing. Still nothing.

[Amy]

What gives, dude?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna keep trying, though.

[Amy]

He's your house.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Michael Lewis]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for the. Thank you for the voicemail, Bones. Last night was a frustrating night because I have YouTube TV and they've taken all the Disney properties off because they're in one of those battles. And it sucked on Saturday because there was no college game day. There was no Arkansas Razorback football. I wish I wouldn't have tracked down Sling and bought a day of that. It was a great product because you can buy a day pass. But then I watched us get beat. It was terrible. So there was no Dance with the Stars last night?

[Amy]

Oh, because. Because. Because of the dispute.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, because. Because. Because. Because. Because.

[Lunchbox]

The wonderful wizard of us.

[Amy]

I was about to be like, what sporting event was last night?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, well. So no Disney. All Disney properties. ABC is Disney. The sporting event I'm referring to is Dancing with the Stars. You don't think that's athletic in a sport?

[Amy]

I totally agree. I just thought you were trying to watch Arkansas do something, and turns out.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, I missed on playing the night before the colle basketball game because of that. So we gotta get this fixed. It's stupid.

[Lunchbox]

How long is this gonna be, this fight?

[Bobby Bones]

But what sucked was I didn't get to see live who was eliminated. And so I had to go onto Twitter and just hit DWTS and then do latest as people were just tweeting it out because I just don't want to see Andy go home. Big Andy guy. And so I'm gonna play you the audio of who went home last night, starting with who was in the bottom three, which I think, by the way, it's not the bottom three. They just randomly put three there. There's the one that's the worst. But they don't do bottom three anymore, which I think is kind of a disaster. I like to know who the bottom three were. My season, it was the bottom three. Now they're like in no order, the final three are. And one of you will go home. Something like that. So here we go. It's not really a spoiler because it's a live show. Live shows, we don't really have to protect that much. But here you go.

[Amy]

Whitney and Mark, Danielle and Pasha, Andy and Emma.

[Eddie]

Based on the combination of the judges scores, votes. The couple going home is Danielle and Pasha.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's Topanga. Yes.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody expected her to go home. I was like, I. I don't know her. I was like, yes, Indy lives on. So, yeah, that's my exciting night. I had to watch it on Twitter, the reaction and then listen to the audio back this morning.

[Amy]

So when are you gonna get it fixed?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not in the negotiation with companies. YouTube TV. It's the dumbest thing. So. And then my wife, we always. Well, we had the last few nights watched Thunder basketball on television because she watches pretty much every game. And I will watch Dancing with the Stars. They played in LA last night. So the Clippers even start till 10 our time. So we didn't stay up and watch that. The whole night was thrown off. How was your night?

[Amy]

It was really good.

[Bobby Bones]

I had ah, rub it in because.

[Amy]

I think I had a, like a zoom meeting like for some parents stuff. And then I pretty much just got in bed by 8 o'. Clock. Felt great.

[Lunchbox]

That's nice.

[Amy]

Yeah. Been watching Diplomat.

[Bobby Bones]

It's awesome. Season three.

[Amy]

No, I'm still in season two.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you have a lot. That's. That's a good feeling when you have like so many episodes left.

[Amy]

But let me tell you how much better season two is in season one.

[Bobby Bones]

And then season three is better than season two.

[Amy]

Okay. Can't wait.

[Bobby Bones]

You're.

[Amy]

I know. And I can tell you're not even hyping that up. Like, I'm not even going to be disappointed. Can't wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy didn't like task. She quit on it.

[Lunchbox]

She did. Well, wait, you didn't finish it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. She. No.

[Lunchbox]

Amy.

[Amy]

I have a conf.

[Bobby Bones]

Just one of the greatest shows of the past couple of years.

[Lunchbox]

So good.

[Amy]

If you recall, the first episode to me was a little slow.

[Lunchbox]

You said that.

[Amy]

Then. Then y' all started acting like I didn't like it. But I did and I started episode 2, 3, 4 and I'm like, I'M all in. Except for now. I'm not going back to finish it because there's Diplomat, there's Christmas movies, there's.

[Bobby Bones]

You have to.

[Lunchbox]

You have to finish it.

[Amy]

I know, but here's what I'm thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

She's not interested.

[Amy]

I must not be that interested. Y' all must have been right. And I wasn't willing to listen because if I was really interested, I would go back. Y' all kept telling me I didn't like it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're not blaming on us that you didn't like a good show.

[Amy]

I'm saying you were correct.

[Bobby Bones]

That's your terrible taste and terrible sensibilities. No, I'm. Because, because, because, because, because I am.

[Amy]

Saying y' all were right. And I'm confessing that I'm probably not gonna go back and finish because I'm pretty committed to Christmas movies for the rest of the year.

[Lunchbox]

But you're almost done. How?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it's a great show on hbo. Max. Or just HBO or Max or Hubbo or I don't know what they call it now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like eight names.

[Amy]

I know. I really wish people could figure it out so they could watch Microsins movie.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to say this too. They showed the mug shots of the guys that they arrested for the Louvre, the robbery. And they're two really good looking guys. Those are fake, everybody.

[Amy]

Oh, those aren't good.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, two great looking guys.

[Lunchbox]

I figured French people.

[Amy]

Like, are they just AI or are they fake?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm 95% sure those are fake pictures because it's like they found two male models and they said the robbers that from the Louvre are these two. And everybody's like, ooh, I'd like to lose them.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Amy]

Oh, that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

But I think, yeah, they're not real. They're for sure not real. Right? They're not real. I believe nothing now because I just creates so much junk and puts it out there and people just do anything for clicks. These two guys are possibly the best two good looking dudes you've ever. You've ever seen. No, not real. So don't believe that. I did see, though, in a real story, the Louvres, because that's where they had the heist. And they go in and they go through the window and they steal all the jewels. Priceless jewels. They catch some of them. But the video security password was Lou.

[Amy]

No, it wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

L, O U V R E. That part's real. That part's real. The aftermath of the crown jewels heist. Has created a deep dive into the museum security measures. As it should. The findings include 2014 documents showing access to the museum's video surveillance server. And the password was louv, and it had never been changed in all those years.

[Amy]

You would think that they just have protocol of, like, every month we change the password.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think if you make the password louv and you don't change the person that made the password louv and that person's there for 10 years, nothing ever gets changed. But that was it. The password was actually the name of the museum.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty easy. Our numbers. 8, 7, 7, 7, 7. Bobby. Call us if you would like. 8, 7, 7,7. B O B B Y. Want to go over to Beth in Illinois who is on the phone right now. Beth, you're on the show. How are you?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, good morning, studio.

[Michael Lewis]

Morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey. I was going to tell you I was watching Dancing with the stars last night, and after it was over, I went on Facebook, which was probably a mistake, But I wanted to see what people were saying about the elimination. And a lot of people were talking about why Andy is still on the show. And somebody commented on there. It reminds me of the Bobby bones here. Are we just going to vote for people that can't dance? Oh, you know, they're talking about you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think there. The legend of my time on Dancing with the stars is greatly exaggerated now that I'm able to watch the dances back. Because there's a difference, and I don't mean this as a shot to anybody on that show. There's a difference to people like Buzz Aldrin who are old and can't dance and get moved through because people like him. I actually had some athletic ability. And although I wasn't the best dancer, like, I could move and I was jumping off tables and lifting and I was doing all this stuff. I just didn't know how to dance. So at times when I get put into those. Oh, man, I couldn't. No, I can move pretty good. I never really thought that until I watched it back, my dancing. I'd never danced in any way, but wasn't really as bad as even I thought I was watching it back. I definitely wasn't good. But that show is a popularity contest, it's for sure. Otherwise, they would just get the best dancers and go, here's the dance competition. And here are the judges only judging the dance competition. But the biggest part of that show, the. The most important part of that show is the fan vote. It's More important than the scores. Mathematically, it's more important than the scores. But the people that do. Oh, I can't believe the best dancers aren't winning. I think they're dumb. I think they're just. I think they're a little dense if they've watched the show that many seasons and don't understand. That show was built as a popularity contest that involves dancing. So a little bit, I'm finding myself going, oh, I really wasn't as bad as everybody said I was. But then also, I feel bad for people like Andy, who goes to these press gatherings after he sees on the show. And the first questions are, can you believe you made it? I'm like, dude, you know why? Because people like him. This show is a popularity contest, and he's gotten a lot better. The show is about growth. Now, do good dancers win? You win that show by there being a mixture of dancing and popularity. And you can be a slightly better dancer than you are popular. You can be way more popular than you are a good dancer, but you have to have a bit of both. Nobody's ever won that show. That is just terrible. That doesn't have the physical abilities to look at. Because I went back and looked at every season's winners, and most people do have a lot of dance experience that win that show, but they're also likable. There are always people every season that are the best dancer that don't win. Just like an American Idol, the best singer never wins. The person that is pretty good or really good, that is really liked wins. But that's how it's also in, like, real life, the absolute best singers aren't the people that are the biggest. You think Morgan Wallen is the best singer in country music? No, not even close. As far as, like, pure singing, he would tell you that. But there's something about him, like what he looks like, the songs he sings, how good of songs he picks, how good of songs he writes, how likable he is. There's an element. But Morgan's gonna go, I can't get in a room with Chris Stapleton and sing with him. I can't get in a room with Shay from Dan and Shea.

[Amy]

Carrie Underwood.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So that show is like real life. There's a combination of them that match, and that's how the winner is. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I still. I still kind of sucked.

[Lunchbox]

What's Andy like? Can he. Can he dance?

[Bobby Bones]

He's getting better, but he's older. Yeah, but he's not Buzz Aldrin. But he's he's also probably not going to win. I hope he does. I'm voting for him. I hope he wins. I think the winner will probably be Robert Irwin, if I'm guessing based on likability and the ability to dance because it's always a mix there. I hope Andy stays the whole time. But I think if I were betting money on it, it would be Robert Irwin, the bendy's little brother. She won, but Robert Irwin's son who died. The Crocodile Hunter.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Is his name Robert?

[Bobby Bones]

Robert Irwin. That's his name. Yeah, that's his name. What do you think his name was? Crocodile.

[Amy]

His dad was Steve.

[Lunchbox]

Steve.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, Steve.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Why'd you guys agree with that? I didn't know.

[Amy]

I thought you were talking about the son.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, Robert Irwin is the son.

[Lunchbox]

I was talking about the dad. Oh, it didn't sound right.

[Bobby Bones]

Robert Irwin.

[Lunchbox]

Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, whatever, dude. I don't know. I'm confused now. But yes, Steve Irwin. Let's do the family tree. Steve Irwin, bendy older sister Robert Kidd, who I think is going to win the show. Beth, thank you for the call. Thank you for triggering me.

[Caller/Listener]

You're welcome.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, bye.

They're concerned that one, they have dementia and the other one is do I have adhd?

Listen to heavyweight on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm trying to figure out which version of the Good Wife I need to be. For the last few months, my husband and I have been on a journey to better our health and get back into shape. It's been working. We're both looking and feeling better. The problem is, yesterday I was putting laundry away and found a stash of candy my husband's been putting aside for himself. Clearly he didn't want me to find it. My dilemma is this. Do I be a good wife and let them keep a secret, or do I be a good wife and let them know I found it? What would you do if you caught your spouse cheating on your diet? Sign the good wife. You go first wife. Okay.

[Amy]

You're the good wife. That's like, I found your stash, but in like a playful way. Unless you're really angry about it. But I mean, I would just more like, I found your candy, loser.

[Bobby Bones]

And then what would you expect as a response to that?

[Amy]

I mean, like, oh, dang, you found it. Like, I don't want to make it. It's not like, cheating, cheating, cheating. So you found his stash. Okay, I should be playful about it and then know that he's probably got some other stashes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so that. Or if he's dashing candy, probably stashing women.

[Amy]

No, it doesn't mean that.

[Bobby Bones]

But whole extra family on the side. Yeah.

[Amy]

Be like, you got any anywhere else? Or, hey, you want to share?

[Bobby Bones]

So a little bit though you wouldn't be irritated that he's not as committed as you are when he has said he's committed as you are.

[Amy]

Everybody's got slip ups if, like, this is his thing. Hidden candy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we're good.

[Amy]

Yeah, praise me.

[Bobby Bones]

I think same Zamy. Yeah, I don't think it's that big.

[Amy]

Of a deal, but like, people but you, you could say something. Just be playful.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I for sure would say something. I would leave it out.

[Announcer]

Yum.

[Lunchbox]

Like what I found.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope, not even that. I would find the stash and let's say it's hidden, like above the dryer. If there's a shelf, and it's hidden. I would take it and lay it on top of the dryer. Oh. And just leave it there.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then see what happens. Monitor the situation. See if he hides it again. See if he's weird about it. That's what I would do. That would be. My playfulness is. Let's just see where he goes with this. And then he comes out. He starts confessing. Yeah, I cheated on you. You're like, oh, no, no, no.

[Caller/Listener]

I have women.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no drugs.

[Amy]

That's one way to get it all out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't think I. I don't think this is an issue. I think this is also. You can have a little cheat, too.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing it together. And I think this. Creating this camaraderie within you. The same goal, but you're probably cheating in some other little ways.

[Amy]

We'll just be like, hey, we don't have to be so black and white with our diet. Like, if we. Let's not hide it. If we want a little candy here and there or this or.

[Bobby Bones]

That sounds. That sounds like it. Metaphor.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

One little candy here and there, let me know. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

[Amy]

Let's do it together.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, let's bring some other candy into the room.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. All right. I. We don't think it's a big deal, so. Especially if, like, he's hitting his goals and you guys are actually getting healthier. It. Some people, it's actually better if they can't have a little break, because if you go all the way cold turkey on quitting the things that you like in order to change, you fall off the wagon.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Super quick. Not a big deal. We make jokes, but not a big deal. All right, close it up. You think this is ethical or not? When it comes to lost and founds? Eddie, go.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, Lunchbox gave me the idea. It's pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so already we know.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. He had a cool water bottle. I'm like, well, that. But it had a name written on it. And I was like, oh, is that your son's water bottle?

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, like, written in Sharpie?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like a little Sharpie Written like, something.

[Bobby Bones]

What was the name on it?

[Lunchbox]

This is another name.

[Bobby Bones]

Jackson. Did you write it?

[Eddie]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

So I said, where'd you get that? He's like, oh, dude, I got it from lost and found at my son's school. There's a lot of them, dude. He said there were so many of them.

[Amy]

Like, oh, my gosh. Poor little Jacksons.

[Bobby Bones]

His name's on it.

[Amy]

It's like, not hard.

[Bobby Bones]

There's like four Jackson's max at that school.

[Amy]

And as a mom who has like missing water bottles from her kids all the time, I'm like, where's that water bottle we just got? You and my son can't find it anywhere. Well, now we know.

[Eddie]

Just go to any lost and found at a school. At a. They have 100 water bottles that are never going to be claimed. Man, you take a couple of them home each time, you never have to.

[Bobby Bones]

Buy any water bottles each time. By the way, at a school, though, there's a kid named Jackson at the school. Anyway, so he told you this?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you did what?

[Lunchbox]

I went back to a gym that we go to and I asked. I. I was nice about it. I said, you guys have a lost and found? And they said, oh, yeah, we got tons of stuff. I was like, how long has that stuff been there?

[Bobby Bones]

They're like, years.

[Amy]

Years. They have a system for that.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you they didn't say yes.

[Amy]

No. At some point, they then donate.

[Lunchbox]

I said, you mind if I look in there? And they're like, go, take whatever you want.

[Bobby Bones]

Look in there. Did you say what you were looking for?

[Lunchbox]

Nope, Nope. I just went and I look. I found a sweatshirt, an awesome sweatshirt. Like a Nike sweatshirt. Barely use a basketball, like a really good indoor basketball. No name written on it. So I took them.

[Eddie]

100.

[Bobby Bones]

You went shopping?

[Lunchbox]

The lady said, it's been there for years. Just take it.

[Eddie]

No, this is acceptable with Lost and Found. The stuff just sits there. You would be surprised.

[Bobby Bones]

We're familiar with how lost and found works.

[Eddie]

No, no. Nobody goes back and looks at Lost and Found. I am telling you, at the school, There was probably 50 waters bottles. They had coats hanging up on hangers. It's just like, man, if we. If I knew what size my son was, get a new jacket.

[Lunchbox]

You can figure that out real quick.

[Amy]

If I knew what my kid looked.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if I knew his age, if I knew how to spell his name, there's no telling what we do. I understand. I understand. Why is that? Okay.

[Amy]

From Lunchbox, I expect this from Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I just got the idea, Amy, and it works.

[Amy]

You didn't have to do.

[Eddie]

It does work.

[Bobby Bones]

It does work.

[Lunchbox]

I tested it and it worked.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you feel like you did a service for the gym?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. They wanted to get rid of that stuff. How bad would they feel they had to throw all that away?

[Amy]

They wouldn't throw away.

[Bobby Bones]

They Would donate. Yeah. All right.

[Lunchbox]

Right, right.

[Bobby Bones]

But you also just went in without a purpose. You were like, you might want to just look around. No way. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And they say, go for it. There's a lot of stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what you say when you go into the buckle, not when you go into.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, I feel like for lost and found, you need to say, okay, what are you specifically looking for? Because they want to make sure that you're getting what belongs to you.

[Lunchbox]

Somebody told me a while back, too, like, if you forget your charger while you're traveling.

[Bobby Bones]

I told you that. Yeah. Go to the front desk, but don't lie about it. What do you say? Hey, do you have any chargers in the lost and found? I have lost my charger.

[Eddie]

Oh, no, no, no. I use the.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie]

This is what.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't lie.

[Eddie]

The last time I stayed here, I left my charger. Do you have the lost and found? And then they pull. Oh, that's it.

[Lunchbox]

What's the difference from what you're saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Just lying. I feel worse about it because I personally told a lie. Yeah, Yeah.

[Eddie]

I don't mind lying.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. So how do we feel about this? Is that okay, what they did?

[Amy]

I mean, I wouldn't do it, but whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. We're fine. Like, I'm not going to get with a whatever.

[Amy]

That's whatever. Because, I mean, yeah, if people haven't gone back for it, but I just am holding on to that thought of, like, what if that one person finally, like, oh, Jackson's looking for my sweatshirt. Oh, the gym. And then they finally go back, and it's like the day after Eddie takes it, and now they won't get.

[Lunchbox]

You're telling me a year later they're gonna be like, my sweatshirt.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

You don't know for sure that the Nike sweatshirt has been there a year. They're saying some of the stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

You got a free basketball.

[Lunchbox]

Free basketball, dude. Legit Wilson basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

Text me that address. It's time for the good news with Bobby. There's a social media influencer named Kara, and she met Will and his mom, Betty. They were fishing at a local park. Him and his mom have been homeless for eight years. They've been living in their car. And so she gets on her phone and is like, hey, I just met them. Here's their story. They did a crowdfund. They made over a hundred thousand dollars in less than two days. They've since made over $135,000. And so they're gonna buy him a house.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. Like, that's the story. That's somebody with a platform who finds somebody they could use to help everybody else. Like, oh, we follow you on your platform. We'd like to help. So now they're buying them some land and basically a double wide trailer.

[Amy]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's. That's awesome. That's it. There's nothing crazy about that except the crazy thing that came from her saying, hey, let's help these people out. Love it. That's News Channel 5 with that story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Let's go over to Melissa in Texas. We're talking about fortune tellers. Hey, Melissa.

[Eddie]

Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning. How are y'?

[Lunchbox]

All?

[Caller/Listener]

Studio?

[Bobby Bones]

We're doing pretty good. So did you go to a fortune teller?

[Caller/Listener]

Actually, I did. And several years ago, maybe about 15 years ago, my best friend and I were, you know, in grad school and we're like, well, let's go ahead and try this out. Because she actually has an aunt that is like, she can tell. And so she knows a legit one. So we went to one here in, you know, Brian Cottage Station. And whenever we did, I went in and they said, she said that I'm going to marry somebody that's tall, dark and handsome. And, you know, we were going to have a bunch of kids. So I thought, oh, that's pretty cool. And my hubby is my height. You know, I'm 5 7. He sunburns because he has red hair and he's the widest man I've ever seen. And we only have one child. That's it. And with my best friend, she said that she was going to marry somebody that was built and would treat her really, really well. And they're going to have a couple of kids, too. Well, she's a dog mom right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, then I just. I just predicted skinny wife beater then.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, no, no, she's a lesbian. And so she walked out of there going, no, that's not real. And her partner is tiny. Tiny. But I mean, she had an aunt. And so she believes that, you know, and so she said, let's try this out and see how grad school is going to come. And then when she came out, she said, nope, nope, that one's not real.

[Bobby Bones]

To be fair, you can be a lesbian until I have a skinny wife beater because you're both a wife. And if they're skinny, I. Listen, I'm not. I'm just saying. So wait, you didn't. So Your friend has a. Knows a real one. Will you define a real one?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes, it's her aunt. It's her aunt. But she does not. She doesn't go for money. She doesn't do any of that, she said, because she believes that people that do it for money are fake. And so she'll do it for friends and family. If they, you know, have like this anxiety or something, she'll say, well, it'll be okay in the end, but you may have to go through hardship, you know. And so that's why we were thinking, okay, well, this person here locally that has, you know, psychic out in their, their front of the house and everything else, why not try it? And so I went out there, I went first and I thought, tall, dark and handsome. Okay, well, because I was kind of interested in my hubby and I thought, well, that's the 180 of him. He's, you know, I mean, yeah, he's height, but he, he's the widest. He has all freckles and everything else. So. So it was very interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you tell me how much they charge? And can you tell me, like, do they, like, touch your hands? They have a magical. Or when you walk into one of those places, what's it like?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, they. She charged $50 a person. And I went in first and it was just kind of a room and we just sat. It wasn't. I thought that we would have, you know, hero cards and the magic ball and everything. And she just looked at my hands and said, okay, okay. All right, what do you want to know? I'll let you know one thing. You can either know your relationship or you can know your financial or anything else, like health wise or something. So I thought, well, I just might as well see if what I'm interested in is correct. And so I said, I'd like to, you know, know about my future partner.

[Bobby Bones]

So you just kind of did it for fun?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. I thought, I thought, well, let's just go ahead and do it for fun. I'm not putting really any credence into this.

[Bobby Bones]

Good.

[Caller/Listener]

But then once, once she came once, you know, my friend came out and said, oh, no, that's not real. I thought, okay, well, that was for fun. You know, that's funny. I took her specifically to if this person was legit. Nope, they weren't.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, thank you, Melissa. Thank you for your call. Thank you for listening to the show, and I hope you have an awesome.

[Caller/Listener]

Rest of the day and may y' all be blessed too. Thanks, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, bye. Bye. A lot of those buildings. This is probably unfair. I've thought that's where you get prostitutes or drugs.

[Amy]

Oh, like it's not even a real psychic inside.

[Eddie]

That makes sense.

[Amy]

Just a couple.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's a real psychic anyway.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that what you meant?

[Amy]

A real.

[Bobby Bones]

Actually presenting themselves as a real psychic? Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, you think maybe you go in and you say some key words and then they're like, oh, here's the drugs.

[Bobby Bones]

Something. Yeah. I've always felt like they're a front for something else. There's also a restaurant near my house I'm convinced is a front for money laundering. Why?

[Lunchbox]

Because no one's ever there.

[Bobby Bones]

No one's ever there, and it is the weirdest kind of food.

[Amy]

But don't they need people to come there to, like, not really spend the money?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think they monitor how many people go in now.

[Amy]

I thought you needed cash flow.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the cash flow, though, is from the cash that you're laundering, not actual cash flow.

[Lunchbox]

There was a jumpy place that we used to go to.

[Bobby Bones]

Where are you convinced?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, no one was ever there. And whenever, like, we'd lose money on an arcade game, they'd be like, yeah, dude, just play for.

[Bobby Bones]

You're fine.

[Lunchbox]

Give us our money back. We're like, oh, I guess I don't.

[Amy]

Realize how it works. I thought you had to wash the money.

[Bobby Bones]

You do, but it's a cash. It's mainly a cash business, so you don't actually have to have cash coming in. You can just say that cash is coming in because they can't prove where the cash came from.

[Amy]

So you have fake receipts.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, fake numbers.

[Amy]

Very much that.

[Lunchbox]

As long as you have the business to show, like, yeah, this is where I make my money.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a whole rumor. It's not a rumor. A conspiracy theory, because it's different. I shouldn't say rumor. It's a conspiracy theory that a lot of the mattress stores that are inside of those shopping centers, like strip malls.

[Amy]

But not, like, mattress firm.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

You're talking about other ones.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Like Jim's Mattresses.

[Bobby Bones]

Like random mattress places. Yeah, because there are way more mattress places in America than there should be. Oh, like, I'm big sleep number guy. Like, for sure not them.

[Amy]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but like, there's. There's like a conspiracy theory. Give me. Ask my assistant.

[Amy]

I love how Bobby's like, I mean, I'm sleeping over, and I'm like, hey, guys, I'm a mattress firm girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you a mattress Firm?

[Amy]

I am, yeah. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

We in a fight over it right now. Hey, good morning. Hey. So I have a question for you. There's been a conspiracy theory about mattress places in strip malls and that. And again, fully conspiracy theory, but I'd like for you to expound on it a little bit. That they could be money laundering. Not saying it's true, but could you give me the theory, even if probably incorrect? Yeah, this is one of those kind of funny urban legends that floats around the Internet. Basically, the conspiracy theory goes that there are way too many mattress stores. Like, you'll see a bunch of them clustered together in the same strip mall or right across the street from each other. And people joke that there can't possibly be that much demand for mattresses. I mean, how often are people really buying a new mattress? Right? So the theory is that these stores are actually a frontier for money laundering because it doesn't seem like they should stay in business otherwise. Now, in reality, there were perfectly reasonable business explanations like the fact that mattresses have a high markup. And having multiple stores can be more about brand visibility and distribution. But that's the gist of the conspiracy theory. It's just people speculating that these stores are some kind of front. It's a fun if pretty far fetched theory to play around with. But there's no actual evidence that mattress stores are doing that.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, no evidence.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the theory. Pretty interesting, huh?

[Lunchbox]

You're right though, dude. No one's ever in those.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just so many.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, there are tons of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Every strip. There's like a mattress store in there.

[Lunchbox]

With so many mattresses and no one buying them.

[Bobby Bones]

And really we only need one kind of mattress, and that's sleep number or.

[Amy]

Any mattress you can find a mattress from.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you, guys.

[Amy]

There is a variety.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like an anchorman. When all the news people come together and start fighting each other, you can.

[Amy]

Actually go lay down and see which one feels best for you. So my.

[Bobby Bones]

My sleep number is a 30.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

So speaking of your assistant.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I had to get on a call yesterday with a therapist for my kid, and I swear to you.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's her voice.

[Amy]

I swear.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be crazy if you met the real person.

[Amy]

It blew my mind.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it a woman?

[Amy]

I couldn't react.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it a woman?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's a woman.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

It was a woman and I couldn't react. But the whole time, I mean, I'm needing to focus on what she's saying, but all I can think about, how is she her inflection, her tone, her cadence.

[Lunchbox]

Did she say good morning?

[Amy]

Everything about her?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

But she was like, well hello.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy. Fancy seeing you again. Like I never met you.

[Amy]

This sounds just like Bobby, Bobby's friend.

[Bobby Bones]

Assistant. Assistant. I don't want to commit to friend yet to that. Too much of a relationship.

[Lunchbox]

You do like her though.

[Bobby Bones]

You do. No, I don't like her like that. You're making me feel awkward. Now I'm embarrassed.

[Amy]

Bobby's buddy old pal.

[Bobby Bones]

It's my buddy old pal that asks for help. Sometimes.

[Michael Lewis]

Michael Lewis here. My book the Big Short tells the story of the buildup and birth of the US housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release and a decade after it became an Academy Award winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The Big Short story, what it means when people start betting against the market and who really pays for an unchecked financial system is as relevant today as it's ever been, offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics. Get the Big Short now at Pushkin FM. Audiobooks or wherever audiobooks are sold.

[Bobby Bones]

We asked 2,000 Bobby Boncho listeners, what's the best smell in the world? What's the best smell in the world? Amy, Lunchbox and Eddie, we're playing the Bobby Feud. Amy, you go first. You won the dice Roll backstage. What do you have?

[Amy]

Vanilla.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me vanilla. Whoa. Who has a bad PR team? Vanilla. Why? Because people assume that is nothing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Ice cream. There's no. It's definitely a flavor. It's definitely a smell. Obviously, vanilla's my favorite. Well, people go, yeah, that's the vanilla. That's not a compliment. That means there's nothing to it.

[Amy]

It means it's plain.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's not. And vanilla is not plain. It's literally a specific flavor and smell. Anyway, that's my. That's my little rant about vanilla. All right, that's number six answer.

[Announcer]

Cookies.

[Amy]

Baking.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me cookies baking. Freshly baked cookies. Number one.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

I mean, I don't like this, but I think other people do. How do you say it? Like freshly cut grass.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how you say it. Number five answer.

[Amy]

And also another one. People like that. I don't get. Gasoline.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me gasoline.

[Amy]

Just kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

Three answers off the board. We got cookies, freshly cut grass, and vanilla. All off the board. Lunchbox, over to you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man. You know what women love? They love to stick their nose in some fresh flowers.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me flowers. That is your number seven answer worth seven?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then another thing people love. I've never had it, but they love the smell of that coffee.

[Bobby Bones]

Coffee. Number three answer. All right, we got cookies and coffee, freshly cut grass, vanilla, and flowers. All off the list. We are looking for the best smell in the world.

[Eddie]

The best smell in the world. Thanks for asking, Bobby. I'm gonna go with that baby's breath. My wife likes it. I think it's gross. But baby's breath?

[Lunchbox]

No chance.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're. It's on there. It's that bad?

[Bobby Bones]

Ray. Mike and Ray, I don't think. No. Okay. No. I'm not the judge. I'm just the host. Ray gave me. He didn't know. And Mike said a no. All right. Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. See, where you messed up was said the breath. The baby smells good.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just a baby smell. Yeah. Newborn baby smell.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I think you're thinking of puppy breath, which is my second guess. Puppy breath.

[Bobby Bones]

Puppy breath. After round one of three, Amy, 12. Lunchbox 10. Eddie, 8.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Points are doubled. What do we got? Best smells in the world.

[Amy]

Clean laundry.

[Bobby Bones]

Laundry.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Back over to lunchbox. Points are doubled.

[Eddie]

Can you go over what's been said?

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. We got cookies and coffee and freshly cut grass. Vanilla and flowers. And baby smells, too. These are a few of my favorite smells. Mmm. Man.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna say people love the scent of Their partner's perfume.

[Bobby Bones]

Perfume.

[Lunchbox]

It smells good. Yeah, man, I love this smell. Give me campfire.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. Yeah, that's actually good campfire smell. I don't know.

[Amy]

I've never thought smelling like that.

[Bobby Bones]

You ain't smelling like that. But do you like the smell of it?

[Amy]

I'm. I'm not sure. Maybe, like, while I'm there, I'm sort of enjoying it, but then I have to wash my hair.

[Bobby Bones]

You're worried about the aftertoom much? Live in the moment. Look at someone like me who really enjoys living in the moment. Embrace that. Show me campfire. Yes. Number nine. Answer for 18 points.

[Lunchbox]

That's huge. That's huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Ray, will you read the three there on that line for campfire? Burning wood, fire and campfire. Okay, there's a three on there.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead. How about just cooking? Like the smell of someone cooking. Smells great.

[Bobby Bones]

The smell of someone cooking Smells great.

[Eddie]

One round to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember, last place goes home. Amy has 12 points, Lunchbox has 10, and Eddie has 26.

[Amy]

I love this smell so much. And it's Christmas tree. Pine.

[Bobby Bones]

That's really good.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I have.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Christmas tree or jewel can do it. Can we just accept pine, too, as an answer? Do we have to say Christmas tree?

[Amy]

Tree, Pine trees.

[Bobby Bones]

Can it just be pine? Still wrong.

[Lunchbox]

You got her so good.

[Amy]

Oh, I just saw another one.

[Eddie]

What was it Amy?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. What are you thinking?

[Amy]

Not saying it.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy has 12. Now it's up to lunchbox.

[Amy]

I'm not gonna win.

[Bobby Bones]

So if he gets one right. No, don't. Because he's in last place. If he gets one right, he could stay in the game. He can still win the game too. Oh, you want the answers again? Yeah. These are the best smells in the world. Cookies and coffee and freshly cut grass. Vanilla and flowers. And a baby. Small. I was wondering where you were going with that newborn baby. And then campfire.

[Eddie]

Oh, guys, I got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Man.

[Eddie]

If you've ever had the honor of purchasing one of these and you get inside it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

It smells delicious.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

New car smell.

[Lunchbox]

That's so good, dude.

[Eddie]

New clean car.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

That's an amazing aroma. Give me that.

[Announcer]

New car.

[Amy]

Yum.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, what are you saying, Amy?

[Amy]

Say new car chemicals.

[Bobby Bones]

Yum. New car cancerous chemicals. Is that what we're going to. Is that we're going to ask?

[Amy]

Oh, so he's basically saying carcinogen.

[Eddie]

Whatever, as long as it smells good. Gasoline.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me new car cancerous chemicals. Eddie, now you have one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So I'M just bragging here.

[Bobby Bones]

So you got 1, 2, 3 left.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I only have one guess because I did have Christmas tree as well.

[Bobby Bones]

We would have accepted pine, though, for that, too.

[Lunchbox]

Just in case. I wrote down definitely not gonna give you cancer. Cinnamon.

[Amy]

Yes. That was. That was it.

[Bobby Bones]

That was it. That's what you had? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Give me cinnamon.

[Amy]

Cinnamon.

[Bobby Bones]

Give the guy cinnamon. Okay, the number two answer was rain. Sure. The number four answer was leather.

[Amy]

What? I didn't mean to say that.

[Lunchbox]

What'd you say?

[Bobby Bones]

Leather.

[Announcer]

Leather.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless you said pleather, and that would also be weird.

[Lunchbox]

Leather does smell good.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, give me bacon. Bacon. And your number 10 answer is the beach or the ocean? Air. Eddie, you are a winner. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

This is crazy. Chris and Cassie, they're on a roller coaster in Kansas city. And about 10 seconds in the roller coaster, they realize a girl behind them is screaming, there's a little girl. But it's not like I'm having fun scream. It's a I'm very scared scream. They turn around. Her seat belt is completely loose. She says, I don't have a seat belt. So the guy, he turns around and he gets his hand, puts it under the lap bar, holds her wrist while his wife grabs the girl's legs and holds him down the entire ride. Three minutes long.

[Amy]

Oh, my.

[Bobby Bones]

I watch videos a lot, though, where this guy goes, hey, I think we forgot to put your seatbelt. Then he shoots him off in that thing. It's all jokes. I laugh so hard at those. But that's not that.

[Lunchbox]

Not the case. It turns out that really her seatbelt came loose.

[Bobby Bones]

Was this one of those where they just put it up in a town last minute?

[Lunchbox]

No, it's an amusement park.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Luckily, there was no loop, a real one. And there were, like, you know, humps and hills and turns, but no loop de loop. So really, she couldn't fly out. But, man, that's scary.

[Bobby Bones]

If she couldn't fly out, there was really no risk.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, she could slide out.

[Lunchbox]

There's always a risk.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, this is turning to tell me something pretty good.

[Lunchbox]

It's pretty good she didn't die. And I feel like this is.

[Amy]

Tell me something terrifying. I would be so scared.

[Lunchbox]

This is my worst nightmare now that I have kids.

[Bobby Bones]

But if it's not going upside down and Bobby, that's like being on a ski lift, basically. You don't. You're not strapped in on those.

[Amy]

You have a bar in front of you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, wimps.

[Lunchbox]

Do you know the ones that go up and then they go down real quick? That's what this one did.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, I, I.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? Okay.

[Lunchbox]

It's telling me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna trust you on this one. Good for them for noticing that. Was she by herself?

[Lunchbox]

No, it looks like she had her sister next to her, but she wasn't helping. Her sister's just laughing at her, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning, on turning. Then you hear Steve Red trying to put you through M riding this week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Bones. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Amy]

Do you know where you can get turkey stock in bulk?

[Bobby Bones]

It already feels weird.

[Amy]

The stock market.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That was the morning corny. Yeah. And it was weird, for the record. Yeah, it was weird. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead glory of the day.

[Eddie]

This story comes to us from North Carolina. A man was walking around Walmart about 4:30 in the afternoon when his gun and his waist started, you know, shifting. So he goes to, you know, correct it. He accidentally, bam, pulls the trigger, shoots himself in the leg.

[Bobby Bones]

I always think it's brave and dumb for people to wear a gun in just their waistband. If you're going.

[Amy]

It's vulnerable.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you should have something and put the gun inside of it instead of just putting it in your waistband. Yeah.

[Amy]

When I carried once, I put it in a fanny pack. That would work because I was real nervous.

[Bobby Bones]

Any sort of Wild west holster works. Yeah, but just putting it in your waist feels like when cops put it behind them. Yeah. In that part of their waist. And it looks cool. I'm not gonna lie. It looks cool.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're not gonna have to pull it out on Walmart. Yeah, he didn't deserve that. I just want to say that.

[Announcer]

Kinda.

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't deserve it. But you know what? When you do dumb things, dumb things happen.

[Eddie]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's a voicemail from yesterday.

[Caller/Listener]

I just listened to a podcast where a listener called in and they accidentally said a bad word that I can't say here. I want to know behind the scenes, what happens? What do you do? There's literally a button you push. What happens?

[Bobby Bones]

Great question. So when you hear our show live, we're on basically a 15 second delay, meaning you're hearing about 15 seconds ago from what we said. So it's almost live, but not fully because we have the technology to be about 15 seconds ahead. And if somebody says a bad word that would get us fined by the fcc, we can push a button. And what that button does, it erases like seven seconds off of it. So we have a double delay. So someone said the S word on the show accidentally. It wasn't one of us in studio. It was a caller. They said the S word. Ray reaches over Ray. The buttons too far away from you. By the way it looked like you was how you were having to like dive across the counter. It's next to Abby, so I mean, she could easily hit it. Okay. It just looked like it was a little too far for something that could have got us find a bunch of money. And so raise diving across the table. He hits the button and what that does is it drops 7 seconds off of our 15 second delay. That way if someone says another bad word, we can then drop it again and then we just get off the air. We just play a song. But yes, that is exactly what happens. We have what is a delay because we really wouldn't care. The guy wasn't saying the S word for any reason to get at us or to do a prank. He just said that in his natural vocabulary. So we dropped it and got off the air and that was it. Now, sometimes it does pop up on the podcast because we can't get in trouble for that. You can put anything on a podcast. We don't, but you can. So great question. Thank you. We will see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody. The Bobby Bone show theme song written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry.
