Eddie
Here we go.
Bobby Bones
Come on, Bobby.
Michelle Williams
Transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday's show, Morning Studio Morning. Now, this is the British Journal of Psychology talking about if women are attracted to men in sports cars.
Lunchbox
If you.
Bobby Bones
You're single and you see a guy, Ah. Driving a sports car.
Amy
I mean, it just depends on what.
Bobby Bones
Kind it is, but it does effect if you're attracted to him. Kind of car he's in.
Amy
No, I don't think I am. But if I've never dated anybody with a sports car because I could see how maybe when you're in it and, like, they handle it well, like, that.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Could be.
Amy
Like, they're going a little fast.
Bobby Bones
Like, say, like a bad boy.
Brad
Need for what?
Bobby Bones
If they're in an old beater and they're going need for speed and it's.
Amy
A shimmy, it's shaky. Yeah, the same vibe. But I don't know that I'm the right person to ask. But what is, what is the research.
Bobby Bones
Say, Lunchbox, to women like guys in sports cars?
Lunchbox
100%. You see a sports car pull up in a restaurant, a valet, anywhere, a nice Lamborghini Corvette, all those heads turn and some woman is either getting out in a sparkly dress or someone's running over to see who's getting out of that car so they can meet him. Women love it.
Bobby Bones
Why do you think it is?
Lunchbox
It shows that they have money and they will be taken care of. Glitz and glamour. And what's a sports car? Glitz and glamour.
Amy
So to Lunchbox's point, it has to be a luxury sports car. Like it.
Michelle Williams
It's not.
Bobby Bones
Just not a Corvette, like a muscle car.
Eddie
Luxury.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's luxury.
Bobby Bones
Well, there's a difference in a Corvette.
Amy
Okay. That I file it under that's still expensive. I'm talking. There's other sports car, like a Mustang.
Bobby Bones
But a Corvette costs, like, what a nice SUV would cost. So why would you look at a nice SUV and be like, oh, that's super cool. Different, but it's the same luxury. My point is you're spending the same money on it.
Lunchbox
Right, Right. But a, A, an suv, like a Suburban, that looks like a family car. Sports car looks like. Wow. I'M in for a good time.
Bobby Bones
Escalade.
Lunchbox
That's pretty fancy.
Amy
Or like lunchbox is the same thing. If he rolls up room in a Camaro.
Eddie
Oh, that's different.
Bobby Bones
White snake plans.
Amy
Okay, but that's a sports car. So it's got to be a sports car that costs a certain amount.
Bobby Bones
So it sounds like it's just an expensive car then based on your logic, it's not.
Lunchbox
No, no. I will say an Escalade looks cool.
Bobby Bones
But she said what about.
Lunchbox
No camaro is like 19 and no one cares about a Camaro.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
No one.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Having a sports car makes a man more attractive to a woman.
Lunchbox
Boom.
Bobby Bones
But it oddly doesn't work the other way around. What if you see a woman in a. In a sports car?
Lunchbox
Weird. I. I don't want a woman. I want. I, I don't. You never see a woman.
Bobby Bones
You don't want a woman?
Eddie
No, no.
Lunchbox
I want a woman, but I don't want her in a sports car.
Bobby Bones
Do you want her in man?
Lunchbox
In my sports car.
Bobby Bones
Uhhuh.
Eddie
Good answer.
Lunchbox
You know what I mean? Like that's where you want her.
Bobby Bones
Solid, dude.
Lunchbox
You know, cuz if she's never going to let you drive, it's a weird.
Amy
Thing, you know what I mean?
Bobby Bones
Research found that men were rated significantly more attractive when they were seen sitting in a BMW or a Porsche rather than a cheap car.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
But it feels like it's an expense thing more than it is.
Amy
That's what I gather.
Bobby Bones
But a woman's attractiveness wasn't linked to the car that she was in at all. Yeah, guys get out of the car.
Eddie
We rarely see like a young attractive girl in a sports car. Guys like an older lady.
Bobby Bones
Guys still all rated them around the same score regardless of how nice their car was.
Eddie
Dang.
Bobby Bones
What kind of car then? If. What's the perfect car to see a woman driving?
Eddie
A woman driving? Yeah, like a Jeep Cherokee. Okay, that's nice.
Bobby Bones
That's your fantasy. Average lunchbox man.
Lunchbox
I go back to when I worked at Sam's club and there was this woman that came in and she was smoking hot. And I don't know if she was really at smoking hot, but she drove an odd Audi and man, it made her that much more attractive. I was like, dang, that girl's got it.
Brad
She's hot.
Lunchbox
And that she's driving a nice car.
Bobby Bones
I think just a nice suv.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because again, there's no real association with us.
Amy
But they aren't like, oh, a girl in a truck.
Bobby Bones
No. With a Dip in her lip?
Lunchbox
No, but it's fine. But a truck is not.
Eddie
The.
Lunchbox
The.
Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter. Like, it. It's not bad or good.
Eddie
The SUV's got to be smaller, though, right? Like, it can't be, like, a Suburban because that's. That's a mom. Yeah, mostly that's like a mom.
Lunchbox
You're right.
Amy
Like, moms can't be hot.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
I don't know.
Eddie
You're attracted to them.
Bobby Bones
What if it's an Escalade?
Lunchbox
Woman in an escal. I don't really like that.
Bobby Bones
You don't like that? No, I'm just. I'm just trying to think of a cool suv. Like, blacked out, Escalade.
Eddie
Ooh.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't think that's a woman car.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
That's too manly of a car.
Amy
What? I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
Like, the. The shape of. It's too square.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
You want yours curved?
Lunchbox
Yes, that's right. I mean, call me weird, but that's how I like it.
Bobby Bones
There's a story of a guy in Utah. He was diagnosed with a rare condition known as foreign language syndrome, which we've talked about before, where this happens to people after repeatedly waking up from surgery while they were doing the surgery to him, and he was speaking fluent Spanish despite having they wouldn't even categorize it as basic knowledge of the language. Like, he knew a little. Like, I know a little, but I don't know Spanish. Like, you drop me in Spain or Mexico, I'm gonna struggle. Same with him. He first experienced it at 19 after knee surgery, when he unexpectedly spoke Spanish for about 20 minutes fluently before reverting back to English, even though he said he only knew a few phrases. Chase doesn't remember speaking Spanish, was confused. When nurses asked him to switch back to English, he was like, porque, porco, porque, porque.
Amy
That's crazy.
Brad
Yeah.
Eddie
How is this even possible?
Bobby Bones
Doctors later diagnosed him with the extremely rare syndrome, which there's only about 100 confirmed cases since 1907. It can be triggered by such factors as anesthesia, brain injury, tumors, or psychological stress from Oddity Central.
Amy
But did he take Spanish in school like we did? Like, I probably have eight years of Spanish under my belt, but I can't speak it in there. Yeah, I mean, like, seventh grade, eighth grade, high school, college. So is it that the stuff I can't pull from my brain, but it's somewhere in there?
Bobby Bones
Think about. And I don't know the answer because doctors don't know the answer, but I think about This a lot. Think about whenever you can't remember a book title or somebody's name, a movie, a song title, and you just fight with it until you get it. It's in there. Now you're battling. It's probably more on the surface, but you're battling to find it. And I do this a lot. I won't look it up on Google unless I need it. And I'll just battle. I'll find. Wait for it. Wait for it. What if there are things that are even deeper than that? Like every single experience that we have ever been through, anything we've seen that it's all stored there, but we have no way to dig. We don't know how to dig that deep to find it. And something is triggering the brain in a way that. That actually digs deeper than what we're digging for. We can't find certain words or people.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
That's the only thing that I can think, because I don't think that he's full of crap at all.
Eddie
You don't?
Amy
At all, obviously, because he's. He's. Other people are witnessing.
Eddie
Well, I know, but can't you just do a prank and have everyone in it, in on it? Like, hey, I'm going to go into.
Bobby Bones
You're going to prank when you're in surgery?
Eddie
Yeah, like after surgery, guys, I'm going to come out.
Bobby Bones
I don't even remember talking.
Michelle Williams
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
When coming out of surgeries.
Eddie
Oh, the anesthesia.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, like, when I had a colonoscopy or my ankle surgery, like, there. I don't remember some of it right after. So I don't think it's a prank.
Amy
So it's either what you're saying, Bobby, or it's a past life.
Bobby Bones
Ooh.
Eddie
Crossing over to the new life.
Bobby Bones
No, I would say something experienced in an old life is what she's saying.
Eddie
Reincarnation.
Bobby Bones
He's not like, in Mexico right then.
Spencer Graves
No, no.
Eddie
I'm thinking, like, in his past life, he used to be a Mexican in Mexico.
Bobby Bones
It's in there.
Eddie
And when he was reborn an American.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's in there. But still. It's in there. But there's a lot we don't know about the brain. And who knows to say in 50 years or so, they don't find a way to actually get down deeper. And every single lived experience we have could be stored in there. So it's. That's a wild phenomenon. And I don't think all 100 of them were playing pranks.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
There Are people that come out of that though playing instruments too, that don't know how to play instruments?
Eddie
See, that'd be amazing. Like, just don't tell anyone I'm gonna come out playing guitar. Tell em I've never played guitar.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the big prank is you study guitar. Don't tell anybody in your family. Waiting on a surgery. Yeah, that's the ultimate long game prank. Yeah, but I don't think all that's a lie. I think this does happen to people. But even doctors don't understand how it is. But doctors also don't understand the full capabilities of the brain, which is pretty wild. Anyway, I want to start with that, Bones. Yeah, so I just wanted to call about Eddie's fast. I didn't know if that's something that we could maybe do a little betting on or something because Eddie's not very.
Brad
Consistent with anything in his life.
Bobby Bones
So there's no shot that he goes.
Brad
Through with this fast.
Bobby Bones
So.
Brad
Yeah, let me know.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it's up on DraftKings or anything.
Eddie
No, officially, no.
Amy
But what do like our own little.
Bobby Bones
I don't trust him.
Eddie
Don't trust who?
Spencer Graves
Me?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh, you'll not to lie about it. It's like when people say they're holding their breath, but they breathe out their nose a little bit. We don't think, you know, you'll hold true with not eating like a little peanut here.
Eddie
No, dude. Hey, one thing. I'm serious this year, okay? Like, take that in consideration.
Bobby Bones
It's a big deal.
Eddie
I'm being serious this year. Second, I'm doing this to get closer to God.
Brad
Why would I lie about that?
Bobby Bones
A lot of people lie to God.
Amy
Yeah, but it would cancel it out.
Eddie
It would. That's the whole purpose.
Bobby Bones
Well, tomorrow will be the first day he comes in fasting doubters out there on his 20 day fast. But it's a four day overall fast. And then you slowly integrate back in.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Celebrating that. What did everybody have for dinner last night?
Eddie
Pizza.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Oreos.
Eddie
Wow. I had Oreos last night.
Bobby Bones
You need to get close to God.
Amy
Yeah, but you're going hard.
Bobby Bones
You're running to the devil, buddy.
Lunchbox
Well, you have to because you eat for 20 days.
Amy
I believe the recommendation for anybody that's gonna like fast like that is to slowly you. You prepare your body for it.
Eddie
I had tacos for lunch.
Bobby Bones
Okay, yesterday. Yeah, but pizza and Oreos for dinner?
Eddie
Yeah, like a folk too.
Bobby Bones
Sound like a seventh grader.
Eddie
Would you give me 20 days that I'm not gonna be Able to eat anything.
Bobby Bones
But that's not because of that. That's how you eat.
Eddie
Well, true.
Amy
Amy, dinner last night, chicken and salad.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Dang.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
That's different.
Amy
Well, it was leftover chicken that I have from the shower because there was lots of chicken leftover.
Bobby Bones
The baby shower. Not just a random shower.
Amy
Yeah, the baby shower, which was. Yeah. I feel like it's still. Yes, it's still good. I gave myself until today to eat it, but I think my son is over it because that's what I've done for dinner every night. I've just done the chicken, like, a different way. And so he's like, is this the last night of the chicken? I was like, maybe.
Eddie
We'll see.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox your dinner?
Lunchbox
Yeah, my wife was nice enough to make a pasta. It was with shredded chicken, had broccoli in it, asparagus, cabbage, carrots. Kids love it. It's fine.
Bobby Bones
You don't love it.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's fine.
Bobby Bones
Would you have rather had pizza and Oreos?
Lunchbox
Yes, but. And I don't like broccoli, so then I have to pick the broccoli out, and it's like, can't you just cook the broccoli in a separate thing? But the kids devour it, so. Hey, wow.
Bobby Bones
You would think the opposite. Sounds like an adult meal. My wife made salmon last night with rice. She shredded up carrots and cucumber.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Yum.
Bobby Bones
And some sort of sauce that gets poured on it. And I'm not generally a fish guy, but I can do a little salmon. Dude, you're the only one that ate like a child.
Eddie
Yeah, sounds like it. You're like, healthy salmon, broccoli over here.
Bobby Bones
Well, my wife cooks, is always super healthy. She's pregnant and wants to eat healthy. We did a whole podcast, and you can go check it out now. It's a bobbycast where Caitlin and I were talking about her pregnancy. Hey, play that first voicemail, Ray, will you?
Michelle Williams
I was listening to the Bobbycast with Caitlin and discussing the pregnancy questions. The best part about Caitlin being on the podcast is her calling you out for all the wrong things. It's amazing. I love it. She needs to be on more just so we can get the real story.
Bobby Bones
Just because it's her version of the story doesn't mean it's the real story story. That's all I'll say.
Amy
So what? Yeah, everyone has their own version.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, there are three versions. Hers, mine, and the truth. And mine the true one. Yes. She doesn't do it often, but she owes me some episodes and So I got one out of her and we talked about that, her being pregnant and what that's been like and just general stuff, but it's up on the Bobbycast, if you want to hear it. But just because she says it doesn't mean it's the truth. If I say something, I feel like it's my truth, but that's what a lot of it was. Her going, I don't feel like you represent this properly. And then me going, well, you have no idea. You don't know what I do, how I live.
Amy
I mean, you are sharing your experience.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Eddie
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
Let's go to Carly in North Carolina who's on the phone. Hey, Carly, you're on the show. Good morning.
Michelle Williams
Hey, good morning.
Bobby Bones
What's happening?
Michelle Williams
So I was just listening to Eddie fasting, and I just started fasting on Monday. I am recently separated, and I've been applying for houses for months now. I keep getting denied for them. And two days into fasting, I got approved for a house. And I really believe that was, like, the sign from God that was given to me by fasting. So I heard that and wanted to dig into that perspective. Perspective. Like, I really do believe that fasting, like, brought this to me.
Brad
That's awesome.
Amy
So you're doing fasting in prayer time?
Michelle Williams
Yes.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
That's amazing, dude. Coincidence? I think not.
Amy
That's pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
I mean, possibly. Possibly she's doing everything else, right, that led to this.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, you're applying forever, right? That's exactly my point. All of her actions and all of her hard work and applying with all the applications led to this moment.
Eddie
Possibly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, possibly.
Eddie
That's pretty amazing.
Amy
I mean, I think there is something to be said for. You're getting rid of all the. The. The food and the noise and that you're able to focus, and then she has this clarity and it. That in itself presented like, maybe if she was not fasting and taking the prayer time, this opportunity would have. You know, she would have missed it.
Spencer Graves
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Like, when you eat a lot, you just want to be lazy. So you watch tv. So she. You don't.
Bobby Bones
But she's been doing it for a while. I feel like if the person was fasting at the same time. Perfect match.
Eddie
That's true.
Bobby Bones
Perfect match. That's awesome, though. Regardless, Carly, I think that's great. So good luck with that. I hope. Hope you bounce back fast.
Michelle Williams
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
All right, see you later. Let's go to another voicemail.
Michelle Williams
I'm with you. Also, coming from someone's whose partner was A delivery driver and him getting those tips. Some days, on a day that we had very little to medicine in our bank account, you don't understand how much those tips mean to people. So thank you, Bobby, for doing your part. As far as anybod else listening to Lunchbox, please just always do the exact opposite of what Lunchbox says.
Bobby Bones
We were talking about tipping delivery drivers on the podcast on part two, where I had a table brought to my house and I was just asking, like, what do you tip? Like, generally if this would have happened? And I went around the room and then Lunchbox had a story of his kids waiting for dinner at a restaurant. And the bartender came out and out of nowhere, gave him, like, orange slices and was like, getting them waters and was like going above and beyond. And Lunchbox, like, I didn't tip him. And I was like, oh, you don't have to, but it would have been nice to tip the bartender who was going above and beyond. And so that's what she's talking about. That he's just not a big tipper. Like, he wouldn't have tipped the delivery guy and he wasn't going to tip the bartender.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but, I mean, let's lump Eddie into that. Let's not just throw bullets at me.
Bobby Bones
Because, well, he didn't have the bar story with the kids.
Eddie
I did it, and all I said was, I didn't think about it.
Lunchbox
I think that everybody wants a tip. Like, I mean, the bartender, you want a tip?
Bobby Bones
You asked our listeners to buy you groceries.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because everybody was buying teachers their supplies, so why not buy me groceries?
Bobby Bones
Right. But you also accept it.
Lunchbox
Oh, I'm not gonna turn it down.
Bobby Bones
Same with everyone else then.
Lunchbox
But I should. But everywhere you go should not have a tip cup out in front.
Bobby Bones
But we're not talking about everywhere. We're talking about two jobs, specifically, delivery drivers that brought tables in, took the boxes off, set it up, not part of their job, and a bartender that didn't have to go and help your kids. We weren't doing culture of tipping across America, which we all think is out of control, so you can't turn it into that. We were doing.
Eddie
Hey.
Bobby Bones
With these two situations, and you were like, I wouldn't tip either one of them.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I didn't tip the bartender because didn't really service anything. And the delivery guy, he.
Bobby Bones
What are you talking about?
Amy
Your kids went and sat at the.
Bobby Bones
Bar and got orange slices and waters.
Lunchbox
But they didn't even order the orange slices. She just got them out and gave them to them.
Bobby Bones
She was taking care of your kids so they wouldn't go crazy, like being a. An overseer of children.
Lunchbox
And she talked to them about, you know, oh, what's it like to sit at the bar? Does it feel pretty good?
Bobby Bones
He's talking himself, right?
Amy
I'm like, this sounds like so above and beyond. Because some bartenders might be like, hey, you know, your table's over there. We need to keep this open for.
Bobby Bones
Are they 21? No.
Eddie
Where are your parents?
Brad
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's all. That's all. Okay, let's do we got. I don't know about this call. This is Katie in Delaware. I don't know if you're gonna like this.
Eddie
Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Katie, you're on the show.
Michelle Williams
Hi.
Bobby Bones
Hey.
Michelle Williams
I'm not being judgmental.
Bobby Bones
Says someone who's always judgmental. For the record. Okay, go ahead.
Michelle Williams
So the Bible says that when you fast not to announce it. Don't brag about it.
Eddie
Not bragging. I'm just telling. I'm telling my friends what I'm about to do.
Michelle Williams
Yeah, but the Bible says not to. Oh, it says don't do it in private. It's just between you and God.
Eddie
Oh. Oh, man.
Amy
Oh, this is not.
Eddie
Hey, guys, scratch everything I said the last few days.
Bobby Bones
We can't do. We already know. It's like, in a trial where they're like, jury. You didn't hear that? I heard that.
Eddie
Huh.
Bobby Bones
All right, Katie, I appreciate you sharing.
Michelle Williams
That and I appreciate you guys bringing God onto the show. That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
No, well, we've tried to book him for weeks.
Eddie
He's really.
Bobby Bones
He's hard to get in. Yeah. All right, Katie, thank you for calling. We appreciate that, Eddie.
Michelle Williams
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Final thoughts?
Eddie
I mean, maybe I shouldn't do the fast then, since I announced it, but.
Bobby Bones
Are you really doing it? Are you hitting this with the rope?
Eddie
No, I'm gonna do it.
Amy
But just strike it from the record that he ever announced.
Eddie
And you know what? I was just talking to you guys. I wasn't announcing to everyone, like, hey, look at me. I'm gonna do a 20 day fast.
Bobby Bones
You actually sent a note for show prep saying you were gonna do the fasts, right?
Eddie
To you.
Bobby Bones
No. No. All right, you guys can call us if you want. We'll move off the fast stuff. But if you guys want to hop in. 877-77-Bobby. That's our phone number. 8777-B O B B Y.

Justin
I like the idea of like, hey, put me on a big deer. You know, hey, there's a big deer out here. He's doing this. Be looking for this deer. But I also love doing it on my own. I love going out there and saying, running my cameras. I love patterning the deer. I like showing up at the right time, checking the wind, knowing what stand I need to be in. And then whenever it all comes together and it happens, that's the most saddest, fine thing ever. So when you do it on your own, it's like, I then can hang my hat. But if I had somebody say, hey, pull up on these dots and catch them right here and you're going to win. And then when I go in, it's like, yeah, it's cool I won the tournament. The ultimate goal is done. But it's like, dude, when you find them and you make them bite, that's the puzzle.
Michelle Williams
I love it.

Bobby Bones
Hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend isn't the best gift giver. For my birthday this year, I dropped several hints as to what I wanted. I would bring up things that we'd see at the mall. I'd show them things on Instagram or any other casual way to work it into a conversation. My birthday was last week, and he got me none of these things. He bought me some workout gear. It's practical, something I'd use. I liked it, but we've been together for years. It feels like he doesn't even know me. Do I accept that he's just not good at giving gifts? What do you think? Sign girlfriend? Not feeling special? Okay, I'm gonna hold a mirror up here. When you say it feels like he doesn't even know me, it feels like you don't even know him. Because I'm sure he has a lot of other great qualities, but you should know at this point that he's not gonna be someone that pays attention to little things when it comes to gift giving. You're setting him up for failure. If you want it, tell him, because he's not going to change. This is a fundamental part of his attention span, his love language, his. There are many things, but when you say it feels like he doesn't even know me, I will say it feels like you don't even know him because he ain't a bad dude or you wouldn't be with him. There are many other great qualities. You're not setting him up for success, and then you're punishing him when he fails. So a little bit of this I'm gonna put on you, Amy.
Amy
So it needs to be more than the hints she's dropping. It needs to be very direct.
Bobby Bones
Tell them what you want.
Amy
Here is what I want for my birthday.
Bobby Bones
As someone who doesn't tell my wife what I want because I don't know what I want, and then I'm. I hold her. It's a really difficult standard, and I shouldn't be that way, but I am. I will say, from what I've experienced, it's unfair. It's unfair where she just tells me what she wants. She will go, hey, my birthday's coming up. But I. I think for me, I want. Because that is my love language. Never got gifts growing up, so I love them now and then. I want someone to, like, predict me.
Michelle Williams
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. You also pay attention, though, because there was that time you're like, but I'm a gift giver. That's my language somewhere. And I can't remember the whole story, but just for the sake of how you are, it'd be like, oh, I love this teacup.
Bobby Bones
I'll get her seven.
Amy
And then, like, you're. You make a mental note at that moment.
Bobby Bones
And I called the hotel where we were. We were in another country, got that exact design ordered. It took seven weeks to come in. And I'm not ringing my bell. I'm just saying that's what I do. What I'm not good at is going, hey, I'm going to dedicate a bunch of time to us just being together. And that's her language of receiving love. So I'd fail miserably at that. Because unless. Because I'm like, you have to tell me if you want to spend an hour together at this point, because it's important, you have to tell me directly because I'm not just going to. I'm not going to get the clue. So you have to tell him.
Amy
Be direct.
Bobby Bones
Be direct. It's not going to hurt his feelings. He'll probably be so thankful. He'll get you exactly what you want. If you know, just tell him. It'll set you guys both up for success. But I'm not going to tell you because I want you to predict me.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I want you to predict everything about me. Yeah. So this is a little bit on you, but you can make it all better if you just tell him what you want and not hold. I'm sure he does other things. Wonderful.
Brad
All right.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Thank you. You know, recently we were talking about what's referred to as weaponized incompetence. I do it or I go, I don't know how to do this. Will you please do it? And then my wife's like, yeah, fine, I'll wash her shirt or whatever it is.
Amy
Yeah. Or you'll actually try to do it.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Not you.
Amy
Anybody that does this, like folding laundry, they'll just fold it really sloppily. So then their partner has to be like, okay, I might as well do it, because they clearly don't know how.
Bobby Bones
Or, I don't know, like making the bed with fitted sheets. And you might be wrong on that. And they're like, fine, I'll just do it.
Eddie
Just an example.
Bobby Bones
Just an example. But Thomas Rhett. I want to play this clip from Thomas Rhett talking about chores. One chore Lauren would love, if I was better at, would be folding clothes. I Have tried so many times to get up early before she even gets up and go, like, unload the dryer. But even when I fold all of her stuff and try to be like a good husband, she'll go in there and refold everything because I think I just don't have that magic folding touch that. But she does. So I'll try to get better at it. We as guys are gonna say it all the time. He's full of crap. He's a smart guy. We know him. He's a smart guy. He is either putting little effort into it.
Amy
That's what it is. Because, listen, you can f. Anybody can fold a T shirt well if they take the time.
Bobby Bones
He's not stupid. No, that is weaponized incompetence.
Amy
But it is sweet that he's trying. He just.
Bobby Bones
No, I think he does it like, twice approved. And like, I try to fall. Oh, that's sweet. I'll do it. Don't worry about it anymore.
Amy
Okay, well, he's not here to defend himself, so I don't matter.
Bobby Bones
We know it when we hear it and see it, we know it. We understand.
Amy
Take someone to know one.
Bobby Bones
Yes, Kylie is on in San Antonio. Hey, Kylie, you're on the show.
Michelle Williams
I just wanted to comment on the conversation with your wife. What's the term you use? Weaponized incompetence.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Michelle Williams
So I had to laugh because my husband very much can cook. Very much loves to cook. He actually taught me how to cook. But it's funny because now, especially at night, he wants me to make him, like, the snacks and all the stuff.
Bobby Bones
He probably doesn't know how to do it. Well, I get it. He's probably not. It's probably not what he's good at. He struggles with it.
Michelle Williams
So he's actually. He's actually can be a better cook than I can. He could, like, make donut holes, you know, in two seconds, but. So I kind of feel like you kind of might have that same thing. Like, it's like an act of service thing. I feel like for your wife to make you stuff and all that.
Bobby Bones
That's nice of you to give me the benefit of that doubt.
Michelle Williams
It's not.
Bobby Bones
I. I just.
Amy
Huh. Interesting.
Bobby Bones
Do it bad so I don't have to do it anymore. Yeah, I like gifts. I don't care about acts of service. I mean, I do, as much as anybody cares. But that's funny that you think that about your husband. I think he just doesn't want to make the snacks.
Eddie
He makes great donut holes.
Bobby Bones
Like Duke can Rip a donut hole. But he doesn't want to make a cheese on a cracker.
Lunchbox
He will.
Michelle Williams
Especially now that I'm. Because I'm actually pregnant. Due in February. Now he's the one making snacks.
Bobby Bones
And he's probably doing a good job, right?
Michelle Williams
Yes, he is.
Brad
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Remember this when you're not pregnant. He knows how to do it. He can do it. All right, Kylie, I appreciate that call. Thank you very much.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Thank you.
Michelle Williams
Have a good day.
Bobby Bones
Bones, here's the question. Nearly one in 10 schools have banned this item, which is legal in all 50 states. Never gonna get it.
Brad
No, you're not gonna get it. Not this time.
Michelle Williams
No, you're not gonna get it.
Brad
Never, never, never, never gonna get it.
Bobby Bones
Nearly one in 10 schools have banned this item, which is legal in all 50 states. Okay, we're gonna put Jennifer on the phone in Mobile, Alabama. Jennifer, good morning. Good morning. Did you hear the question? Nearly one in 10 schools have banned this item, which is legal in all 50 states. Now, you're gonna go first. We don't think you're gonna get it. Okay, but what do you think it is?
Michelle Williams
I think it is a hoodie.
Eddie
Okay. A hoodie that's legal everywhere.
Lunchbox
Anybody else?
Bobby Bones
Anybody else write that down?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay. That is not it. So give our first incorrect. How do you guys feel?
Amy
Amy, feel pretty good, but not. Not super confident.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Nailed it.
Bobby Bones
100.
Lunchbox
Absolutely 100. Got it.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Eddie
I normally don't feel great, but today.
Brad
I feel great about it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Jennifer, I'm gonna let you pick two of the three. Amy, Lunchbox and Eddie. So who are you not picking?
Michelle Williams
Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. He's 100%.
Lunchbox
You're not picking me.
Michelle Williams
That's correct.
Lunchbox
She's like.
Eddie
You heard me.
Lunchbox
I got a question. What is her name again?
Bobby Bones
Her name is Jennifer.
Lunchbox
Jennifer.
Michelle Williams
Yes.
Lunchbox
Have you been drinking at all this morning?
Michelle Williams
Absolutely not.
Lunchbox
Okay, then why are you not picking me? You're about to lose the game.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
Soda.
Bobby Bones
Nearly one of ten schools abandoned.
Lunchbox
Side.
Bobby Bones
I'm Soda. Stand by, Eddie.
Eddie
I went tobacco. What?
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
That may be most schools that might be 100%, but this has nearly one attend schools. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and say that one's wrong.
Lunchbox
Okay, we knew that. Great job, girl.
Bobby Bones
You said 100. What do you have?
Lunchbox
Backpacks.
Bobby Bones
That's wrong. And Amy's a Sodi Years is wrong, too.
Amy
Okay, who is the closest?
Bobby Bones
I'm not gonna. Because she has another chance to win here, so I'm gonna.
Amy
Okay, I'm in.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna let all three of them pick again. And what you'll do, Jennifer, is decide if any of them get it right. So all three, you can go one of all. If anybody gets it, you win. Or you can go. Nobody's gonna get it. What do you think?
Michelle Williams
I like it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, you like that one of them's gonna get it or that none of them are gonna get it?
Michelle Williams
I like the fact that none of.
Bobby Bones
Them are gonna get it. Okay, so she's betting against you guys. She's shorting you guys.
Eddie
Yeah, that's.
Bobby Bones
That's for us.
Amy
That's okay. Based on how we just performed.
Lunchbox
Read it one more time. Bobby, I wanna. I wanna see if you have any inflection on a certain word.
Brad
Nearly.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Brad
Oh, nearly.
Bobby Bones
One in ten schools have banned this item, which is legal in all 50 states. What's the item? Write your answers down. She thinks nobody will get it. She's playing for a prize pack of crap from the back.
Lunchbox
Yep. And she's not going to get any.
Amy
Crap from the back because now you're 100%.
Lunchbox
100%.
Amy
But you were 100% last time.
Eddie
Okay, I'm in.
Amy
Okay, I'm in.
Bobby Bones
Lunch, rocks, hats. Incorrect.
Eddie
Eddie, phones.
Bobby Bones
Incorrect.
Lunchbox
It's too easy. That was too obvious.
Eddie
I know. Amy, candy, Sodas and candy.
Bobby Bones
Incorrect. The person who's the closest was Amy. What?
Eddie
So it's. It's a food item.
Brad
Oh, oh, I know.
Eddie
I got gum.
Lunchbox
I have. What.
Bobby Bones
What would they. What would they ban that could hurt other kids?
Amy
Something sharp.
Eddie
A food.
Amy
Oh, like a.
Eddie
So a weapon?
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, a food. Okay, got it.
Lunchbox
A Jolly Rancher.
Amy
Outside of a pineapple, spiky.
Bobby Bones
Amy's coming up with shakes from fruit right now.
Amy
Okay, hold on.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
Let me think.
Bobby Bones
Something that they would. They can't let other kids have because it could hurt another kid.
Eddie
Oh, peanuts.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, peanuts. But Jennifer knew to bet against you guys. Nobody got it. So our winner is Jennifer. Congratulations, Jennifer.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Your lack of belief in the show has created a winning avenue for you. Yes.
Michelle Williams
I love it. I wanted to go with Amy because I think she's the smartest person in the room, but I decided not to because it was so vague.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Yeah. There you go.
Amy
You did good.
Eddie
Why did you have to say that?
Amy
Everyone's in the room.
Bobby Bones
I asked her a question. I think Amy's the smartest in the room. Jennifer, stay on the phone. We're gonna get you a prize. Okay. Thank you for listening.
Amy
Bye, Jen.
Michelle Williams
Thank you. You guys are awesome.
Eddie
Bye.
Michelle Williams
I Spent today thinking about Lunchbox's testicle. I think his appointment is today, so I'm just curious to see how that appointment went and if Lunchbox feels like he finally saw a doctor that could give him any insight or took him seriously. Love for an update. Looking forward to it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, quick catch up. Lunchbox had a pain in his stomach. Doctors didn't know what it was. Then he told us he also had a swollen testicle. He didn't tell his doctor, and so we started telling him to go back to the doctor. He went, and they gave an appointment to a urologist, but then they thought, you need to come in earlier, and you have now gone to that appointment.
Lunchbox
I have gone to the urologist. I went in, I walk in, and she sits me down, and she says, first of all, we're gonna send you down for an ultrasound. I was like, I thought only women got that, right? So I go downstairs, and there's this chick, and I go in a room, and she gets the little wand and starts.
Bobby Bones
Did they put the gel on your nut?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then they wanted it.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
You're like a pregnant.
Lunchbox
Was that weird? It was so weird. She had the lights off, and she had, like, these, like, lights going, like, colorful lights, like, on the ceiling. I fell asleep.
Bobby Bones
You fell asleep while she was wanding your testicle?
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, now we know what. It soothes him.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
And so she gets done. She's like, sir, sir. She has to wake me up. Like, we're all done.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, how long did that take to wand a single testicle?
Lunchbox
She did both of them.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
And so it took probably a good 20 minutes.
Eddie
20 minutes.
Amy
10 minutes per ball.
Bobby Bones
How big are those things?
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, I guess they had to take different pictures, images, whatever.
Eddie
Okay, but you fell asleep, so you have no idea. But whatever.
Lunchbox
No, I knew what time I got in there, what time I got out.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You know what they did, though, while you're asleep?
Lunchbox
Who knows?
Amy
Not fall asleep when not forgetting any.
Lunchbox
I can fall asleep anywhere. Guys. I'm sorry. It was a dark room. It was quiet, and it was just like, all right. So then I go back upstairs, and she said, I don't have the images yet, but. And she does an examination of me and ask me certain questions. They have me go pee in this, like, contraption to measure my stream and see how I'm doing. If I empty my bladder, all if it's.
Bobby Bones
Did they have you drink a bunch of water before you came?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you just there, and it's like, Go to the bathroom?
Lunchbox
Yeah. They're like, oh, can you go to the bathroom? I was like, yeah. And then they do a scan and they say, yeah, you do a good job emptying your whole bladder. They were very proud of me on that.
Bobby Bones
Gave you a ribbon for your peeing.
Eddie
Nice work.
Lunchbox
And so what she thinks it is is she thinks that my pelvic floor is too tight, and so that's pulling on things. And she thinks there's also maybe an infection down there.
Bobby Bones
That tracks.
Lunchbox
I don't know. I don't know how you get an infection down there, but.
Amy
Did you tell him about the yeast infection you had in your throat? Could it have traveled down and you have a yeast infection down there?
Lunchbox
I didn't tell her about the yeast infection.
Bobby Bones
You didn't tell him about the swollen testicle the first time you went in either.
Michelle Williams
Right?
Lunchbox
And she was pressing on it, and I was like, yeah, that's uncomfortable. That's uncomfortable.
Bobby Bones
You didn't fall asleep?
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no. This. This time I was standing up, and she was like, okay, so I'm gonna treat you like there's infection. We're gonna send you for physical therapy on your pelvic floor to loosen it up, because I think that's what's causing the pain in your side and across the stomach. And the pain in the testicle she thinks is the infection.
Bobby Bones
So they may have nothing to do with each other.
Lunchbox
They may have nothing to do with each other.
Eddie
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy.
Lunchbox
And so she prescribed some Cialis, and that's supposed to take care of it. But I'm gonna tell you what.
Bobby Bones
Cialis.
Eddie
I feel like I've seen that commercial on tv.
Amy
Yeah. Like, may cause gambling increase.
Lunchbox
Yeah. But I'm gonna tell you what, since. Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
You know what?
Amy
Cialis and Viagra are the same.
Bobby Bones
That's why I said that, bro.
Michelle Williams
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
You have Ed, which is okay.
Eddie
Bro.
Bobby Bones
Have you.
Brad
Have you taken it yet?
Bobby Bones
Amy goes, you have Ed.
Brad
That's okay.
Lunchbox
That's okay.
Bobby Bones
It happens every.
Brad
Hold on, hold on.
Eddie
Have you taken it today? Are you taking it now?
Bobby Bones
It is currently on Cialis.
Lunchbox
I mean, I took it yesterday, but I haven't taken it today. I'll take it when I get home.
Amy
Yeah, please do.
Lunchbox
But I'm gonna say I've been taking it for a couple days, and the left one still really hurts. It still really hurts. Very uncomfortable.
Eddie
So what does the Cialis have to do with.
Bobby Bones
You know, Cialis and Viagra are the same.
Lunchbox
No, I didn't Know that I just went to the pharmacy and that's what they gave me.
Eddie
But you know that now after you saw what it did.
Lunchbox
Well, now that you guys tell me, I didn't look it up.
Amy
Okay. It can also treat. In addition to the ed, it can treat BPH as an enlarged prostate.
Lunchbox
Oh, she did do a.
Bobby Bones
In your butt. Yeah, well, she. A prostate exam in your butt, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Finger in the butt. Did you pee a little bit?
Lunchbox
No, not pee a little bit.
Bobby Bones
A little bit. Well, if they push hard, sometimes a little pee comes out.
Lunchbox
But she told me my prostate looks good.
Eddie
That's good, man. Hey, good job.
Amy
I'm sorry you had to experience that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that was weird.
Amy
It's not.
Lunchbox
I was like, so do I lay down or what? And she's like, no, no, your elbows on the table.
Amy
Yeah, the words.
Bobby Bones
I've had to do that a few times. Same. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
And then she's like, and I'll see you back in two to three months. If it gets worse, let me know.
Bobby Bones
So you have ed?
Lunchbox
No, I don't have that.
Amy
No, he has weak stream, but.
Lunchbox
No, no, there's no weak stream.
Amy
I thought you did. This medicine helps with that.
Lunchbox
No, no, she told me my stream was good. Oh, well, Ed.
Amy
Dude, I don't know what is wrong with you. It's not for ed.
Eddie
Well, you're not alone, man. A lot of people have that.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Lunchbox
Trust me. Yeah, I don't got that. I don't have it.
Bobby Bones
Hey, not now. Anyway. Took a Cialis this morning.
Amy
I mean, you might then if you don't have that, you have benign.
Bobby Bones
So you don't have anything bad.
Amy
The nine for a static hyperplasia.
Lunchbox
So far, no cancer.
Brad
So far.
Bobby Bones
What's crazy is if that has nothing to do with the stomach pain. And he only found that because of the stomach pain and he saved his own life.
Amy
Nah, he was eventually gonna find it. Cause the testicle changed.
Eddie
It was big. It was really big.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but he still wasn't going to the doctor for it. Remember, he didn't show them the testicle.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
But I mean. Cause it's weird. Cause it deflates at night, I'm telling you. But it is.
Eddie
Yeah, that is weird.
Lunchbox
It is tender. Like, I'm telling you, when she was pushing, I was like, oh, my gosh. Like, don't do that.
Eddie
And what's the pelvic floor like? What do you have to work out there?
Bobby Bones
So when a woman. Or me, because I've basically had a C section whenever they had to go in and take my spleen out when I ruptured it, you know, to cut the cut.
Eddie
Yeah. When you're a kid.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So the pelvic floor is the muscles that are like a network of muscles. Oh, that's holding down everything up.
Amy
They support the ligaments.
Michelle Williams
Bladder.
Amy
Yeah, your bowel.
Lunchbox
A lot of women after pregnancy, they go to pelvic floor. They go to physical therapy to strengthen them because they've been wrecked.
Eddie
So your pants are getting weak down there?
Lunchbox
No, no, they're too tight. So I gotta loosen them.
Eddie
I'll loosen them. Interesting.
Lunchbox
All right, well, hopefully this is it. Hopefully this is on the road to recovery. I mean, she seemed to be listening to me. She seemed to have a definitive, like.
Bobby Bones
Better than told to go watch YouTube.
Lunchbox
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
Okay, we'll be rooting for you. Let us know how that affection in the ed.
Lunchbox
There is no ed. Don't get it.
Bobby Bones
The low stream. Sorry.
Lunchbox
There's no good man.
Bobby Bones
Who cares? Adult.
Eddie
We're not judging you.
Lunchbox
There is no ED. There's no low stream. I am 100%.
Bobby Bones
If there was, we're just letting you know it's okay.
Eddie
Yeah. And we love you either way.
Lunchbox
I would admit it if I had it.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that you would, but that's okay. If you. If you do and you don't want to share, we're okay with it.
Eddie
And take the medication after work, please.
Bobby Bones
On your drive home. There's nothing on your drive home. Only take the medication. Thank you. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

I like the idea of like, hey, put me on a big deer. You know, hey, there's a big deer out here. He's doing this. Be looking for this deer. But I also love doing it on my own. I love going out there and saying, running my cameras. I love patterning the deer. I like showing up at the right time, checking the wind, knowing what stand.
Brad
I need to be in.
Justin
And then whenever it all comes together and it happens, that's the most satisfying thing ever. So when you do it on your own, it's like, I then can hang my hat, but if I had somebody say, hey, pull up on these dots and catch them right here and you're going to win. And then when I go in it's like, yeah, it's cool, I won the tournament. The ultimate goal is done. But it's like, dude, when you find them and you make them bite, that's the puzzle.
Eddie
I love it.

What moments in this audiobook capture the feeling of the magical world best for you or just stood out the most?
Michelle Williams
I always loved reading about the Quidditch matches and and I think the audio really gets it because it just plunges you right into the stands. You have the crowd sounds like all around you is surround sound, especially if you're listening in headphones.

Bobby Bones
Eddie got flipped off by a kid.
Eddie
I couldn't believe it.
Brad
How old?
Eddie
10 years old. I couldn't believe it. So I'm driving down the road, right? And I have to turn right. I'm in the middle lane, I have to turn right. So I gotta get over. I'm running out of real estate. So I put my signal light on, but I guess I cut off a car.
Bobby Bones
You cut off a car?
Eddie
I didn't mean to. And. And I saw it. They honked at me. It was a minivan. And I look in the rear view and I see, oh, okay, it's a lady in a minivan. She's like laying on the horn and so whatever, I keep trying to turn, I get on the right lane and they just gun it past. They go right next to me and she lays on the horn again. So I look over like, what lady? And in between me and the lady is a 10 year old kid giving me the finger.
Brad
Okay.
Michelle Williams
Yeah.
Eddie
I was like.
Amy
And that mom was probably proud of that.
Eddie
And the mom's like, yeah, get him.
Bobby Bones
You know, I taught him that. The finger.
Amy
No, the kids 10 do in that way. It's a message.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, of course it's a message. Don't risk my life.
Eddie
I couldn't believe it.
Bobby Bones
I. I thought you don't cut people off. I thought you drove with utmost care.
Eddie
I do.
Bobby Bones
It was. You get so mad at people on the road.
Eddie
It was one of those like rare instances where I just had to get over and I didn't see them. Blind spot. And I, I was like, I'm sorry. At first.
Bobby Bones
Cut you off. You want to kill them.
Eddie
No, that's not true. It's people that are like dangerously driving on the road. That's when I get mad. But I couldn't believe it. Dude, you're teaching your 10 year old to flip off someone.
Bobby Bones
I'd have laughed.
Eddie
I was not laughing.
Bobby Bones
I want to teach my 10 year.
Lunchbox
Old, you know, help people.
Bobby Bones
They're struggling. See a homeless person. Hopefully you got a buck. Give it to them. Love. Yeah, it's finger.
Amy
Yeah. But you don't want them doing that to random people on the highway.
Bobby Bones
It's kind of funny. I take talk when I see it.
Eddie
At 10 years old, if you're starting with a finger on the road, what's next? Like, what's next?
Bobby Bones
I don't know what's next? Murder. Yeah.
Eddie
Carrying a gun in your car.
Michelle Williams
Okay.
Amy
No, now you're jumping.
Bobby Bones
Morgan almost got hit in the Walgreens parking lot by a car. Yeah, I did.
Amy
So some lady was mad at the guy next to her. They were in different cars. And I'm walking out of Walgreens and she just like zooms out of her spot so much that the wind of the car, like I felt my hair blow back from the car.
Bobby Bones
Like your body almost got hit by the car.
Brad
Not your fast.
Bobby Bones
What did you do? Did you flip them off?
Amy
Honestly, I just.
Bobby Bones
Did you get a kid to flip them off?
Amy
I did not. I kind of stood there in shock for about a minute. Like I didn't move because I wasn't just sure if somebody else was going to come, if more was going to happen. And I just was very confused that somebody wasn't even paying attention.
Bobby Bones
Amy has a friend that got hit in front of a grocery store.
Amy
Home Depot.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Like on foot and put in the hospital, right?
Amy
Yeah. I mean, I went to school. We went to school together when we were Younger in Austin. And then when we were doing the show in our early days, it was on the news and I was like, oh my gosh, it's Tiffany Christian. I know her. I couldn't believe it.
Eddie
And.
Amy
And she was hit by a drunk driver in the parking lot. And it wasn't his first driving under the influence of fence.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but got hit like human body with a car.
Eddie
Are they okay?
Amy
Yeah, she flew. She's okay now, but it was. I mean, she was in the hospital for quite some time.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox, what's the update on your story?
Lunchbox
I haven't heard anything. I've talked to insurance. Got to take the car into a body shop, but the police report has not come back yet because the officer on the scene told me they have to write it. It goes to their sergeant, sergeant does it to the city, city does it to the state, and then the state sends it back to the police department. So it takes five to 10 days.
Bobby Bones
I'm surprised they didn't give you a rental.
Lunchbox
Not yet.
Eddie
Well, he hasn't taken the car in.
Lunchbox
Yeah, like once I get to the body shop, I can get a rental.
Eddie
This is on him and he's not going. Are you going to take it?
Lunchbox
No, no. The body shop can't get me in.
Bobby Bones
For a few days because I got to hear from the body shop industry.
Lunchbox
They don't have any appointments.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, okay. But ever your back hurt? Your neck hurt?
Lunchbox
Not my neck, but my back is sore still.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, getting worse.
Lunchbox
Day three was the worst.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Probably hard to function as you normally would.
Lunchbox
Yeah, hard. I. I'm lucky I came to work.
Eddie
Has it affected your daily life?
Lunchbox
Yeah, getting out of bed is tough, you know, lifting up the kids.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Is it possible it's affected your ed?
Lunchbox
Don't have that.
Bobby Bones
If you did.
Lunchbox
If I did, I could blame it on the wreck, but you know.
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But you're still good.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but it was not my fault. So everybody knows the wreck was not my fault.
Brad
Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. His wigs. Next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is?
Michelle Williams
This is the.
Bobby Bones
And now the morning Corny.
Lunchbox
The morning Corny.
Amy
Why do Arkansas Razorbacks eat cereal straight from the box.
Eddie
Do you have it? It's got to be something with bowl, right?
Dr. Joy Harden Bradford
Do you have it?
Bobby Bones
Cuz they never go to a bowl or something.
Amy
Well, they choke.
Bobby Bones
What is it?
Amy
They choke when they get near a bowl.
Brad
That was the morning Corny.
Eddie
You're not laughing.
Bobby Bones
You know. Where did you get that joke? Did the listener send it to you?
Amy
No, just the Internet.
Bobby Bones
You found that?
Amy
Yeah, I was on. It was in. I have a bunch of cereal jokes.
Bobby Bones
Kind of hateful.
Lunchbox
Dang.
Eddie
You found that in cereal joke category.
Bobby Bones
Enough people know that we suck. That that's a joke.
Amy
I had another one fan.
Eddie
Go ahead.
Amy
I didn't know if it was okay to do or not, but we can test it out. It's about cereal.
Bobby Bones
Give it a. You mean it's bad?
Lunchbox
Wow, it really is on there. I googled it. I was like, there's no way that's really.
Eddie
But that.
Bobby Bones
That could be any team. And the fact they chose Arkansas, that's great. That's hateful.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. I thought, no way Amy inserted Arkansas. But you Google Arkansas cereal joke, and it's right there.
Eddie
Dang, dude.
Bobby Bones
But I bet if you Google Virginia cereal joke.
Amy
Okay, yeah, I could be there. You could throw cowboys in there.
Bobby Bones
Well, they don't play ball games.
Amy
You change it, I guess, you get a Super Bowl.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
What cereal brand signed Snoop Dogg to an endorsement? Wheaties, A weed ease.
Eddie
That's funny.
Bobby Bones
All right, close it out. There you go. Good. That was the morning Corny Bobby Bone show. Bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Ohio. A man walked into a gas station, patted his jack and goes, hey, man, going to need all the money in the register. Guys like, all right, hands the money. Guy runs out, runs to his house. He's like, man, where are my keys? Where are my keys? He had left them on the counter. So he waited about an hour, walked back in, said, hey, man, I was in here earlier buying some cigarettes, and I left my keys. Police showed up, arrested him.
Bobby Bones
I thought it was going to be keys or snow tracks in the snow.
Eddie
That's always one.
Bobby Bones
That's always one where they run home and you just follow their tracks all the way.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
All right, hit me.
Michelle Williams
Just comment on Amy's prediction that the Broncos were going to win the Super Bowl. I'm a huge Broncos fan, always have been. Y' all say how Bobby is so lucky all the time, but he is not lucky when it comes to sports teams. Sorry, Arkansas, but if the Broncos win, maybe it's because he did not choose them and he chose the Panthers instead, who lost first round. And so now the Broncos are going to make the super bowl and win because he didn't pick them. So thank you.
Eddie
Goodbye.
Bobby Bones
A couple things to unpack here. The Panthers were not supposed to be as good as the Broncos when the season started, So I knew in my heart that the Broncos were a better team. But I didn't pick a team based on how good they probably would be. Heck, I picked a team based on how good they haven't been, so. Which is why I picked the Panthers. So I would say the Panthers making the playoff pretty good, but I don't think I'm a lucky person. Anyway. I know you guys all do.
Brad
You're very lucky.
Bobby Bones
And Amy didn't predict the Broncos would win. She psychically predict. She said she saw a horse, and then we inserted the Bronco. So she's doing it subconsciously, but specifically.
Eddie
She saw the Denver Airport horse.
Bobby Bones
That's true. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. Y' all asked me to have a vision, and that's what you were.
Bobby Bones
That's what came to mind whenever you hit that psychic music. We can't stop her. It's like her eyes roll on the back of her head.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And she starts seeing things. And so she did predict that the Denver Airport would win the Super Bowl.
Amy
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah. Thank you for that. Leave us a voicemail if you want. 877-77-Bobby, as we leave, you can leave us a voicemail. We love it. 877-77-Bobby. That's it. We'll see you tomorrow. Eddie will be doing his fast tomorrow. Day one of his fast.
Eddie
Wish me luck.
Bobby Bones
Can't wait for that. All right, thank you, everybody. Bye.
