Defining a "Rich Life" (03:52–09:08)

Inspiration & Roundtable

• Eddie brings up a viral TikTok where someone defines a "rich life" as "hot wife, happy kids, and the bills are paid."
• Bobby turns the question to the crew—each gets three aspects that define their personal "rich life."

The Crew’s Answers

Morgan:

• "Lots of animals."
• "The ability to travel."
• "People who love me."
  • (04:32) "I want a zoo full of animals... I'd love to run a rescue."

Lunchbox:

• "Money, lots of money."
• "Popularity."
• "Access to cool events."
  • (05:15) “You got to have a lot of friends and a big social circle.”

Eddie:

• "Good friends and family."
• "Health."
• "Contentment."
  • (06:16) “Be happy with what’s going on in your life at the moment.”

Bobby Bones:

• "Sleeping through the night."
• "Auto paying bills without worry."
  • (07:36) “When I got to auto pay my bills … it was one of the moments in my life where I was like, I made it.”
• "Arkansas wins" (referring to Arkansas sports team victories).
  • (08:17) “So much of my life is dictated by Arkansas sports. If Arkansas football sucks, I suck.”

Notable Moments:

• The difference in answers strikes everyone—some are material, some emotional, some connected to sports or health.
• Bobby reflects humorously: “If Arkansas football sucks, I suck.” (08:25)
• The group jokes about Morgan being the closest to her “rich life” (09:13)

Parenting Dilemma: Should Kids Play Football? (11:27–14:12, 54:06–56:56)

Listener Email

A worried mom asks for advice about letting her 11-year-old son play tackle football, fearing injury.

Bobby:

• Played football throughout school; minimal injuries.
• Advocates team sports for discipline and personal development:
  • (12:03) “Football taught me more discipline than anything else in my life.”
• Downplays risk of severe injury at age 11, says risks exist in all physical activities.

Eddie:

• Has an 11-year-old son playing football.
• Nerves watching his son, but supports letting kids make their own decisions.
  • (13:16) “Let your son play and let him decide if he wants to play.”
• Acknowledges concerns rise with age as hits get harder.

Call-in Listener James (55:02):

• Now a coach; football taught him grit and adversity.
  • (55:31) "It teaches you how to work through adversity, how to work through discomfort… I think more people should play football."
• Bobby asserts again: “If your kid wants to play and your husband is cool with it… I think you go with it.” (56:56)

NFL Male Cheerleader Backlash: Real or Not? (14:16–18:36)

Initial Question (Morgan)

Morgan asks the group about social media controversy regarding the Minnesota Vikings having male cheerleaders, and why people care.

Bobby’s Take:

• It's a "culture war" blown up on social media—no real, significant outrage.
  • (15:02) “Nobody’s really upset except people who... love to create culture wars. It’s not an actual reality.”
• Points out male cheerleaders have always existed (lists several famous male cheerleaders like Samuel L. Jackson, Steve Martin, FDR, George W. Bush).
• “People who complain about male cheerleaders are the same people who say, ‘Why do we even need cheerleaders?’” (15:34)

Eddie & Lunchbox:

• Eddie doesn’t care, says it won’t affect viewership.
• Lunchbox: “They could get rid of the cheerleaders and no one would really notice.” (17:57)

Bobby Summarizes:

• “Cheerleaders... don’t really make a big difference. At a Vikings game, there aren’t a lot of people that go just to watch the cheerleaders... They’re just like the parsley on the dish.” (16:16)

---

Why Has Amy Been Gone? The Real Reason (24:28–31:58)

Amy joins by phone, sounding tired and “dying,” as the group jokes.

• She has been very sick—yeast infection likely triggered by changing body wash, also battling viral flu-like symptoms.
  • (24:53) “I have a yeast infection... it’s painful and I’m not getting sleep...”
• Describes her cocktail of remedies: prescription meds, IV, Tylenol, anti-nausea suppositories—crew cringes.
• Amy’s recent in-studio illness was triggered by a sewage smell in the bathroom, causing her to vomit.
  • (27:23) “Projectile vomit... that smell just sent me.”
• Amy reflects: “I was like, I just wanted everyone to know, like, that wasn’t me.”

Wrestling Punishment

• Despite illness, Amy watched the wrestling series “Unreal” (as a show bet/punishment).
  • Emotionally moved: “I kind of want to go to WrestleMania… I did cry watching it.” (29:35)
  • Story of Cody Rhodes and his dad’s Rolex hits her hard.
  • Still unsure why people love wrestling but admits developing some interest.

Bobby’s NFL Team Search: Latest Elimination (32:03–36:44)

Bobby narrows his choices to two teams for the season:

• Minnesota Vikings (eliminated this episode)
• Denver Broncos
• Carolina Panthers

Why these teams?

• Avoiding “front runner” teams, prefers passionate yet reasonable fanbases, manageable climate/travel considerations.

On-air Elimination

• Bobby eliminates the Minnesota Vikings (35:52)
  • Reasoning includes cold climate, division “boringness,” and logistical factors.
  • “They are very exciting… but I’m down to two” (36:02)

---

Family Debate: Paying Grandparents to Babysit? (37:07–44:21)

Lunchbox’s Parents-in-Law watched his kids while he and his wife vacationed; his wife wants to pay them $500.

• Lunchbox’s stance: Being grandparents is payment enough—“The payment is they got to see their grandkids.” (37:51)
• Bobby & Morgan argue it’s appropriate to do “something” as a gesture; Morgan gives her dad a massage and gift card for animal-sitting.
• Eddie: Suggests if Lunchbox’s wife wants to pay, it should come out of her account; Lunchbox shouldn’t have to if he disagrees.

Bobby's Wisdom:

• The real reason to pay is not to “compensate for services” but to maintain goodwill for future sits.
  • (42:05) “It’s not about you paying them for the past, but … they may not be as quick to jump on an airplane and come and spend a few days [next time].”
• “I say you pay them. Even split it.” (44:08)

[Electric Vehicle Advertiser]

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge.

[Bobby Bones]

That.

[Electric Vehicle Advertiser]

That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail].

[Unidentified Speaker]

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, Bobby.

[Amy]

Transmitting across America, this is the Bobby Bo Show.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday show Morning Studio Morning. All right, Eddie, what'd you see on TikTok?

[Eddie]

So this guy posted. It was just a video of, like, the beach. And he wrote a rich life to me is. And he wrote hot wife. He said, happy kids and the bills are paid.

[Bobby Bones]

So those are the three terms for him that meant rich life. Not you're rich.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. But mean his life feels like he's. Like he's living a rich life.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so let's do this. Then we'll go around the room. You only get three, and it doesn't have to be single words, but three little statements. Give me your rich life. Morgan, I'm gonna go to you first.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, first thing that came to my mind was lots of animals. I just want to own a zoo full of animals.

[Bobby Bones]

No describing them. Okay, say the. Say the lines. Go ahead.

[Morgan]

Lots of animals.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Morgan]

The ability to travel and people who love me.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That's a rich life.

[Eddie]

That's a rich life.

[Bobby Bones]

Now. Now I'm curious. Lots of animals. What does that mean?

[Morgan]

Oh, like, I want a zoo full of animals. I want horses and pigs and chickens and dogs and cats. I want to.

[Bobby Bones]

You want a farm? Yeah. More so than just dogs.

[Morgan]

Oh, all of it. I mean, I'd love to, like, run a rescue.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be Little House on the Prairie over there.

[Eddie]

You got to take care of all those animals. Like, you're good to do that.

[Morgan]

Heck, yeah, I am.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's got money to travel, so she's going to pay for people to take care of them while she's gone. That's a lot. Okay, lunchbox. What do you have? Money.

[Lunchbox]

Lots of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Popularity is money. Lots of money. One statement.

[Lunchbox]

That's one statement.

[Bobby Bones]

So, money. Lots of money.

[Lunchbox]

I wanted to make sure you knew money. And then lots of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Money, comma, lots of money. Popularity.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. You have to have a lot of friends and a big social circle.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Access. Access to cool events, sporting events, anything you want to go to. But that comes with money also, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Access money. Access popularity.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Eddie]

I mean, that's literally a rich life.

[Lunchbox]

That is a rich life.

[Bobby Bones]

Life.

[Lunchbox]

So many experiences, people to do it with. I mean, it's great.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Eddie, what is yours?

[Eddie]

Okay, mine is good friends and family. I gotta have those. Health is important.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't think about health.

[Eddie]

Gotta be healthy. And then this one's a little weird, but I thought about it for a while. Contentment.

[Bobby Bones]

Boy, that's just a big one, huh?

[Eddie]

Being content.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

With how your life is at that moment.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead. Like, so.

[Eddie]

So, like, content, like, when you're like.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean to you? I know what contentment means to me.

[Eddie]

It means be happy with what's going on in your life at the moment. Doesn't mean don't work harder to change your life or do things that they're going to change your life. But be happy with where your life is at that moment. If it's the beginning of something, be happy with the beginning. It could get better if it's the worst, worst of something, think like, all right, it's going to get better from here, you know? But be happy in that moment. That's rich life, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It sounds like you're just saying that to sound nice.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no. That seems.

[Eddie]

I've literally tried to live my life that way. Like, I don't wake up every day being like, oh, man, I'm so happy at this moment. But I. Do you know what? Enjoy this moment, because it's going to change. Something's going to change. So be content with what's happening at this moment.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay? And that's like. I get it. It's just. It's very, very vague. That's like just writing happiness.

[Eddie]

Okay, fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Money. No, you get to say what you want to say.

[Lunchbox]

Feels weird, but, yeah, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Mine are sleeping through the night.

[Eddie]

I mean, they are.

[Bobby Bones]

Which, until you don't sleep, you do not understand or realize how much your life is bad. If you don't sleep, it sucks. That's one number two, auto paying bills without worry. I was always scared to put my bills on auto pay because I would be afraid they would try to auto pay and I wouldn't have it there and then it stuff would bounce. So just auto paying bills without worry.

[Eddie]

That's kind of like the TikTok guy. Bills are paid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. This is different though, because you could pay your bills and like look at the bill and then pay it, but if you just put it on autopay and not have to worry, like, that was one of the moments in my life where I was like, I made it. The two. The two times I felt like I made it in life early on were one, when I got to auto pay my bills and two, when I needed batteries and there were extra batteries that hadn't been opened yet.

[Eddie]

That's a good feeling.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because my whole life it's, well, I need batteries. Well, crap, I'll just take them out of something else and put them into this. And then you got three or four things around the house and have batteries in them. But that was when I was like, oh, I think I'm making it. I have extra batteries in a package just sitting in a drawer. That. That's rich life. I didn't make my list, but the extra batteries, Rich life. And then the other one is Arkansas wins.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like so much of my life is dictated with Arkansas sports.

[Eddie]

And that's terrible because you have no control over that.

[Bobby Bones]

I have no control over the sleeping.

[Lunchbox]

Thing either, I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah, I have no control over Arkansas sports. But if Arkansas football sucks, I suck.

[Big Three Playoffs Announcer]

You're poor.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Poor life.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me tell you, the cup does not run it over there, but those are mine. Bills on autopay, sleeping through the night and Arkansas wins.

[Eddie]

I thought it was interesting just how different people just defy the term rich life.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. For Arkansas football. You should be contempt. Right, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Yeah, man. Just be. Hey, enjoy the season as I am.

[Bobby Bones]

Not content with Arkansas football. We've only won like 8, 9 games. Less than 8 games in season 1. Times like 2012 sucks. I'm already sad the season haven't started yet. Okay, rich life.

[Lunchbox]

Good job.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody who feels like they're in their rich life.

[Morgan]

I'm close to it. I don't have a farm yet.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're the most close to it of all of us.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

What were yours again?

[Morgan]

Yeah, mine was the ability to travel, people who love me, and a lot of animals.

[Eddie]

Oh, she Has a boyfriend, so yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And she has. I have family and friends. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

If we would ask her three weeks ago, the boyfriend wouldn't have been around.

[Morgan]

People who love me, not a boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Arkansas's not really winning. I'm not sleeping through the night but my bills are the one auto pay. I got one out of the three. I'm doing pretty good. Hello, Bobby Bones. My 11 year old son really wants to play tackle football this fall. He's been begging me and my husband to sign him up and most of his friends are already playing. My husband is on board, but here's my problem. I'm nervous about letting him do it. I know how physical football can be and I can't stop thinking about him getting seriously hurt. The idea of concussions or long term damage to his body and brain really scares me. At the same time, I don't want to hold him back from something he's so excited about. Am I overthinking this? Should I let him play or try to steer him towards something less physical until he's older? Signed a worried moment. So I'll go first. I played football my entire scholastic career from second grade tackle, played tackle. Oh, in second grade peewee football tackle all the way till I graduated high school my senior year. So played football all through school. Never got really badly hurt. I had a couple cracked ribs, a couple broken fingers and from like eight or nine years of playing football, pretty good. I'll say this, if your kid isn't someone who like wants to get in the mix and be really physical, he's probably not going to be really physically hurt like me. I wasn't trying to really get in the mix. I was a pretty good receiver. I was okay. And I really never wanted to play defense, so I basically played in the defensive backfield and I never started on defense, but I would go back and like safety, like dime packages, nickel packages, stuff like that. And therefore I wasn't in a lot of collisions. I returned punch one time that sucked. So if you're not someone that is super into it, you're not playing linebacker. It's hard to get hurt. So if your son is just somebody who you, he's probably not going to be in the super mix. I wouldn't really worry about concussions at 11 years old because the impacts really aren't going to be as hard as they get later in life. There are risks, but there are risks to everything. If he wants to ride BMX bikes or motocross or do anything physical, there are risks. Football to Me taught me more discipline than anything else in my life. So it was major. I also had a football coach, coach Gandalf, because I didn't have a dad growing up who took an interest in me and giving me a lot of those things. I learned adversity. I learned a lot from me playing football. Probably things I needed because I didn't have them at home. I'm very much an advocate of team sports because I think you learn a lot now. That's my story. I only got hurt a little bit because I really didn't get in the mix as far as if there's a pile, I'm out.

[Eddie]

Not your thing?

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. Wasn't playing linebacker, wasn't running the ball. I catch a few passes and get down. Eddie, you have kids that play football?

[Eddie]

I do. I have an 11 year old that plays football.

[Bobby Bones]

Specific to you? Go ahead.

[Eddie]

Very specific. And I think you nailed it with 11 year old football injuries are pretty minute. Like it's not a thing where you 11 year olds really come out with concussions or bad, bad injuries. Now once they get older, kids get bigger, the hits get harder. Yes. Then you start worrying about that. I, I never thought I'd be a parent that would worry about my kid playing football because I love football and once my kids started showing interest in football, I was like, yes, you're going to play football and you're going to love it. But now that I'm in it and I watch him play and watch him get hit or watch him hit someone or see a teammate that kind of is down for a little bit, you start to worry. You start to worry like, oh man, is this a good decision? And I just want to let him have the decision and I want to just keep. And I keep telling him like, if you don't want to play this sport, we are okay with that. But if you want to and you love it, we want to support you with that.

[Bobby Bones]

So what would you tell her?

[Eddie]

So I would just kind of let your son play football and let him decide if he wants to play because chances are he's going to get that one good hit and maybe make a decision. This is not for me. Yeah, yeah. So I would just write it out, see what he says. 11 year old is a good time to just make that kind of keep an eye out to see if they love it or not. Because yes, once they turn 13, 14, they're playing football, the hits are going to get harder.

[Bobby Bones]

It sounds like your husband wants him to play. You don't not want him to Play. And if your kid wants to play, you kind of outnumbered in the voting anyway. Yeah, I say let him play. And if he ever doesn't want to play. Yeah. Don't push him to play. No, that's the worst part. But again, he's going to do a lot. If he's going to be a kid who plays sports, he's going to get injured at some point.

[Eddie]

I'm waiting for my son to quit and when he does, I'm gonna be like, thank God.

[Bobby Bones]

But he's, he's pretty good.

[Eddie]

He's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

But I mean he's physical.

[Eddie]

Watching them play football is just like every time he gets hit, I'm like, oh gosh, get up.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for the email. Close it up, Bones. All right, Morgan, over to you.

[Morgan]

I need to know from your guys perspective as major sports fans. Cuz I don't really watch much sports. The Minnesota Vikings now have male cheerleaders and I'm seeing everybody up in arms over this on social media and I'm so confused why this is a problem. Because male cheerleaders have been a thing since I was a child. Like I used to be a cheerleader at 5 years old and I get thrown in baskets by male college cheerleaders at Wichita State Shockers. Like this has always been a part of cheerleading.

[Bobby Bones]

I think people aren't really upset. It's a very small. Listen. People love to create culture wars and that's all this is. It's a culture where nobody's canceling their season tickets. Nobody's really upset except people who. It doesn't matter if they're upset or not. Less people aren't going to watch football because of male. It's more male dancers like dancing cheerleaders.

[Eddie]

Because they're not like the ones you're used to, Morgan. They wore pants and like, you know, regular shirt. These guys are dressed like the other cheerleaders kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

They're not wearing skirts and stuff. Oh yeah. The picture I saw was no, they're not wearing skirts.

[Lunchbox]

I think he's wearing a T shirt and shorts.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The Vikings, the Patriots introduced a new one.

[Eddie]

The Rams had one. Rams had one for like a couple years. I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a culture war. People on the Internet love to create culture wars. So. So they will literally just get engagement on social media and so are people really upset? No. Will people stop watching football? No. Will people give up their season tickets? No.

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, it's the same people who go, why do we even need cheerleaders? Nobody even watches the cheerleaders who are the ones complaining about this. So this is only a reality in a small part of the Internet. It is not an actual reality. Okay, so you guys don't.

[Morgan]

Sports fans don't care.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we're not.

[Eddie]

Like Bobby said, we're not gonna stop watching.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, I don't care at all. I. Again, and I say this in a way that's not insulting, hopefully to anybody. The cheerleaders really don't make a big difference. Like, competitive, they do. That's cool. But at a. At a Vikings game, there aren't a lot of people that go. And just to watch the cheerleaders, I don't even think people cheer with them. They're just kind of like, what's the little green stuff you put on a. On a dish?

[Lunchbox]

Parsley.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I don't like the parsley. You know, do you actually eat the parsley? No. Does it take a lot of effort and if he's skilled, sure. But no, like, nobody really cares. Now, I do have a list of celebrities and athletes who were cheerleaders. Oh, Samuel L. Jackson.

[Eddie]

He was a cheerleader.

[Bobby Bones]

What? He was a cheerleader at Morehouse College.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Steve Martin. He was a cheerleader at Garden Grove High School in California. Jimmy Stewart, the legendary black and white actor. He was a cheerleader at Princeton. Trent Shelton, former NFL wide receiver turned motivational speaker, was a college cheerleader before the NFL. Jackie Robinson, before breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, he was a cheerleader at ucla. Wow.

[Morgan]

See, this is so cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Aaron Rodgers, dad. Ed Rogers, a cheerleader at Chico State.

[Eddie]

I don't think Aaron talks to a dad anymore.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, still.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, still. Name the list. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was a cheerleader at Harvard. Wow. George W. Bush.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

The 43rd president of the United States was a cheerleader at Yale. Mitt Romney, Senator, former presidential candidate, cheerleader at Stanford. So there have been dude cheerleaders in a bunch of capacities. And I'm going to tell you right now, George Bush wasn't one of these buff dudes throwing dudes throwing girls in the air. He was.

[Eddie]

Stop that corner back.

[Morgan]

That was actually one of our cheers. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's much ado about nothing. Except for people who wanting clicks on the Internet. Not a single person is going to cancel their tickets because there is a dude cheerleader dancing around.

[Morgan]

Well, that makes me feel better. I was really sad for you guys as sports fans because I'm like, this has been going on for years and they've been wearing all kinds of things. There's all kinds of male cheerleaders.

[Lunchbox]

They could get rid of the cheerleaders and no one would really notice.

[Eddie]

The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, though. We would notice.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you would.

[Eddie]

You wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Again, I. I don't want to be insulting to the cheerleaders. I think what they do is. Takes a lot of skill and a lot of work week to week. But when you go to a game, nobody's really there to see the cheerleaders. Like, they do a great job being ambassadors for the, for the teams or the program, which, what the Cowboys cheerleaders do. But if you went to a Cowboys game and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders never showed up, I don't think you would know the difference.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Eddie]

I did take my son to a Titans game, though, and he just stared at the cheerleaders the entire time.

[Bobby Bones]

Close. If they're close to you, that's different. You don't go and you don't stare at them across the field like when you can't see them. But if they're close, you probably.

[Eddie]

They were right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're probably right there.

[Morgan]

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail] it's time for the Good News with Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

92 years old, former Air Force pilot Ron DeWalt got a chance to fly a vintage at six Harvard aircraft. Now again, he's 92 and he goes up, gets in the cockpit. This is the same model of plane that he trained on for over 70 years. I will say there's another pilot in there with him. I was wondering, can you imagine seeing him go up by himself? There goes Ron things doing barrel rolls. So the flight took place in Cooking Lake, Alberta, and was made possible by the pilot, Brock Allison, who owns one of the last few planes that were the kind of planes that he trained in. And so it's a whole thing. I watched the YouTube video. It's like a really old Snoopy type yellow airplane. Oh, like the Red Baron type plane. And he goes up and like he's flying it. There's just somebody there just in case. But I thought it was super cool. They made a whole deal about it. He's, you know, former military. They want him to feel special and get back in the plane. That allowed him to find his purpose in life. So to that I shout out Brock Allison and share the story. And that's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. We have Amy on the phone. Amy is not here again today because Amy is sick. So first, what's wrong with you, Amy?

[Amy]

Where do you want me to start?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, oh, My God.

[Bobby Bones]

No. We need to talk to Amy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's the dude on the phone? We need Amy who works on the show.

[Amy]

Again. I'll start with, like, the least fun part.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Which is who knew, like, switching this body wash situation gave me. I don't know if y' all can handle this.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean, switching a body wash? We don't know. I know nothing about.

[Amy]

Well, okay, I know. I don't know if you can handle what I'm about to say, and I can't even say it, but give it to us. Okay, so I have a yeast infection. Interesting one.

[Eddie]

We can handle it.

[Lunchbox]

That's. That's bad.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

From what? Too much bread?

[Amy]

No. Oh, beer.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, beer.

[Amy]

I think, like, switching a different soap, she said. And, like, the ph, it changes something. Anyway, that's neither here nor there, other than it's painful and I'm not getting sleep, which I think is impacting my health, you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, your ability to get battery, for sure.

[Amy]

And what I have. Well, because, like, my body is fighting multiple things, and then there's like, the nausea and whatever. Viral. It's like a. Just a viral. Typical flu situation. It's not Covid. I tested for that, but I have now something for the. I have to go pick up prescriptions, but something for the yeast infection.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're good. We get that part.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we get that part. What else?

[Lunchbox]

I've been there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep, got it.

[Amy]

Then Tylenol Tam. Of what? I don't know. I have a list that you gotta get from the store, but I did an IV to try to help, like, I don't know when. What's going on with my.

[Bobby Bones]

Where'd you put the iv?

[Amy]

So I think it's just. Oh, speaking of, I have an anti nausea suppository.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's trying to gross us out. I feel like she's just doing this on purpose now because all this stuff's real, and. And that sucks, and I'm feel sorry for you, but she's like. And not only that, I had to drink my own pee right before I came on the air.

[Amy]

Oh, forgot. Well, I forgot about that part. So you said. Where did you put the iv?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, honestly, I feel like Amy's dying.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she sounds like.

[Eddie]

She sounds terrible.

[Lunchbox]

And then there's one more thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, she was. We were on vacation, and so she was off for a week, and then we come back, and she was here, obviously. Then she left, and they were like, Amy's just left she's throwing up. She texted me. She, like, I had to leave. Throwing up.

[Amy]

I called Scuba after, and my throat had started to close up, but I really think. What was going on in the bathroom?

[Eddie]

Oh, that's a good point. This is a really good point.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, I don't understand. Go ahead.

[Amy]

Wait, you don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

He had.

[Eddie]

I don't think. I don't think he went to the bathroom.

[Lunchbox]

It was, like, backed up sewage. It smelled so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't leave my desk.

[Lunchbox]

It was so awful.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Amy, go ahead.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think she just died.

[Amy]

Like, I already felt. No, I'm just supposed to limit my docking, but I already felt sick in the minute I walked in to the bathroom because of the sewage or something. It was like, projectile vomit. Like, I couldn't help it because I think I was already just on the verge of not feeling great. And then that smell just sent me. Like, I, I. I texted Morgan about it, and she was like, I don't. I went in there, and I don't smell anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Morgan has no smell or taste.

[Morgan]

Because of COVID This is where the benefit comes for me.

[Amy]

Bobby. It. I mean, I hope y' all fix that. I don't. I just wanted. I. Okay. Because I was like, I. I just wanted everyone to know, like, that wasn't me.

[Bobby Bones]

You think everybody thought you left that smelling like that? They're like, boy, A, that's bad. Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, I say, hey, y', all, I'm here. I'm sick. I'm leaving. And then y' all go in the bathroom. Like, I.

[Eddie]

It's a good point.

[Bobby Bones]

This is. Amy's on with us. If you just happen to turn us on live and she's sick. She did text me yesterday, listen to the show, and she was like, hey, show sounds good.

[Eddie]

Oh, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. She was listening to the show.

[Eddie]

It's always good to hear.

[Amy]

I was like. Which I guess is a little bit of a bummer because I'm not doing.

[Bobby Bones]

You want it to sound worse because you're not here. Like, we can't go on without you.

[Amy]

Right. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay, so this is what I think. I think you're out all week.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're out all week. There's no way that you're back with this. You're just.

[Amy]

Well, I was trying to find a way to, like, if the doctor told me it was strep, which she didn't, but if she did, I was gonna be like, how can we pin this on lunchbox? Because it seems like anytime that Someone gets strep throat. But then I hadn't been around him at all.

[Bobby Bones]

It sounds like she's about to cry.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Amy]

Y kids are, like, back in school. I don't know. I. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so one quick question as far as an update, and you can tell us more about it later, but your punishment was to watch Unreal, the wrestling series over the past week before you got sick, and so you're not a big wrestling fan. You made fun of me for being a wrestling fan after watching that series. What are your thoughts?

[Amy]

Well, I texted you that I didn't know if it was the nyquil or, like, my for real feelings, but I kind of want to go to WrestleMania.

[Eddie]

That sounds like she's crying again.

[Big Three Playoffs Announcer]

I know.

[Amy]

I did cry. I did cry watching it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy]

Cody, when. When they went and bought Cody's dad's Rolex that he had to sell and gave it back to him because he needed money. Yeah, that, like. I'm sort of emotional right now thinking about it. I'm not joking.

[Bobby Bones]

So Dusty Rhodes, the American dream. Dusty Rhodes is Cody Rhodes's dad, and Dusty Rhodes had to sell his Rolex because he needed money. And Triple H, after Cody won the championship, went and bought the Rolex back and tell him and gave it to him. And it was on camera. It was emotional.

[Amy]

I still don't. I still don't. I'm not saying I get it at all, because I don't. Because it's, like, all scripted, like, so it's like, even one of the girl wrestlers, like, this isn't a sport, because it's like, she goes, I don't even know what I get assigned, what I'm gonna do. It's not like you work, you know, and can win something. They have to choose that you're gonna win.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Amy]

What do you think about that?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't think it's a sport because it is predetermined, so I'm not for sure. It's like if you were to watch a freaking Broadway production and they were just crushing their bodies, like, doing super athletic things. Have you seen Chelsea Green, the episode with Chelsea Green yet?

[Amy]

She. The one that has her face all over her outfit?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It made me really like her, and I didn't know much about her. Now I'm massive fan.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah. Because she went from always being the loser in the dumpster to winning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Wow. Yeah. So, I mean, the series is big.

[Amy]

Because that means they. They chose her.

[Bobby Bones]

It means she worked hard, they liked what she was doing. She was always. Yeah. Okay. So do you like the series?

[Amy]

I do. I. I don't. I mean, what can I say? I don't know if I'm admitting that I was wrong, but. Can we check in when I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll check in when you're better. Yeah, when you're better.

[Amy]

When I'm not, like, totally bored and like, on medicine. You know what I mean?

[Bobby Bones]

All good. Okay. Well, go back to being sick. And we will. We won't call. I don't think we'll call you tomorrow or anything. We'll let you heal up. But let us know if anything's on your mind.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. There she is.

[Eddie]

Get well, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Amy. Feel better. We really. We miss you around here.

[Bobby Bones]

He lunchbox has been so happy you're gone. Okay, ready? All right. Bye, Bones. I've got it down to three NFL teams. One of these teams I'm going to be a massive fan of. And the teams are. Morgan, do you know the hats? What does this hat have on here?

[Morgan]

That's the Minnesota Vikings.

[Bobby Bones]

That is correct. The Minnesota Vikings. Still one of the teams that I might become a super fan of. I never had an NFL team growing up. I'm from Arkansas, and everybody loved the Cowboys. And the Cowboys were also winning a lot. And I refused to jump in on a winning team.

[Eddie]

But they're not winning anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. And I had them as one of my four, and I eliminated.

[Big Three Playoffs Announcer]

I know.

[Eddie]

They were the first to be eliminated.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like I'm just. I'm begging for pain. I'm already a Razorback fan. I get enough pain. So I didn't do the. I eliminated the Cowboys. So I have three teams left, and I'm going to become a die hard fan this year of one of these teams. So the Vikings is number one. Oregon. This is number two. What's this hat?

[Morgan]

That's the Denver Broncos.

[Bobby Bones]

That is correct. And this hat.

[Morgan]

North Carolina Panthers.

[Bobby Bones]

Close enough.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They are in Charlotte. That's the Carolina Panthers. Yes. So I'll be eliminating one of these teams because we're just a couple weeks out from the start of the season.

[Eddie]

What went into this decision?

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of things. I didn't want to be a front run honor. So that's why none of these teams are, like, coming off a Super bowl win anytime soon. And then I think the fan bases of all these teams are cool, like, nice. They don't also. It's like no real unrealistic expectations.

[Eddie]

I mean, the worst out of the three is probably The Panthers just kind of based on how they've.

[Bobby Bones]

If it's only one loss, for sure.

[Eddie]

Win loss. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'll be eliminating one of these. Eddie, who do you think I'll be eliminating?

[Eddie]

I think you're eliminating the Vikings, the.

[Bobby Bones]

Broncos, and the Panthers. Now, remember, part of it, too, is like, if I go, I don't want to be super cold.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's a good point. Oh, are you leading me towards Minnesota?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just saying I don't. You know, so have the Viking, but. But the Vikings plan a dome.

[Eddie]

They do indoors, so it's not cold. I'm sure they heat that up.

[Bobby Bones]

They do heat that up.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they do.

[Bobby Bones]

Which team will I be eliminating?

[Eddie]

I think you're eliminating the Denver Broncos.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

That's my guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, what team do you think I'm eliminating?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think you've said before you really like Denver, though. So do love Denver, I think. And Charlotte is probably the best climate wise out of all of them if we're going with that theory. So I think you're going to go. I think you're going to eliminate the Vikings.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox man, this is tough. I thought you were. My first instinct was Denver because of proximity. It's harder to.

[Bobby Bones]

Proximity is a factor, too, to get to the game. A lot of factors here, though.

[Lunchbox]

The only problem is Denver plays some cool teams. They get to play Mahomes twice a year. So you could go to the game and watch Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, maybe run into Taylor Swift. Minnesota, kind of a boring division. And you want to stick it to Baker because Baker kind of. I don't know what happened with your guys's relationship down there in tampa.

[Bobby Bones]

Baker made 100 million bucks. Didn't answer my calls anymore. Anymore.

[Lunchbox]

And so I'm gonna go with, man, cold. You don't want to sit in the cold, man in Denver. But I'm gonna. You're gonna eliminate Minnesota.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Lunchbox]

You're gonna eliminate Minnesota just because of Denver playing the Chiefs? You want to go see him play the Chiefs?

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody thinks I'm cutting the Carolina Panthers.

[Lunchbox]

No. They're so close.

[Eddie]

I think that's who you're gonna pick eventually.

[Bobby Bones]

I do. Yeah.

[Morgan]

But, guys, also, Denver has a direct flight. There's like. It's like an hour and a half flight.

[Lunchbox]

Soda's Minnesota.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't know if Minneapolis does.

[Amy]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not fighting about who has a direct flight.

[Eddie]

I'm just saying that's like, close.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. The Team that I am eliminating is.

[Eddie]

Ah, you just took off the Broncos.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

You got the Minnesota add on. What are you doing? No, you can eliminate the Panthers. Nope, took it off again. This is too much.

[Bobby Bones]

I am eliminating the Minnesota Vikings. Wow.

[Eddie]

Man, they're exciting a little bit though.

[Bobby Bones]

So. They are very exciting. And I know the coach a little bit. Kevin o', Connell, big dude, like taller.

[Eddie]

Than I expected when we saw the.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he played back up for my co host on my NFL show, Matt Castle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay, so I have two teams gonna be one of these teams that would be a die hard fan of the Broncos. I have a helmet on my desk signed by Bo Nicks. Forgot about. Is that an Easter egg? Taylor Swift Easter egg?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it could be.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it the Carolina Panthers that are just right down the road? Did you find a non stop?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. You can go on non stop to Minneapolis, no problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm bringing it back in. No, I'm just kidding. Okay. So either later this week, I wanted Amy to be here, but I'll do my team that I'm going to follow and go is going to be either the Broncos or the Panthers.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because you're running out of time, man. Season's about to start.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I did it today.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, there's the update, Bones. All right, let's get into some drama here. So we had vacation last week and Lunchbox during his vacation, went on a trip with him and his wife. Just those two. And so you left your kids with the in laws?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they were nice enough to fly to town and said, hey, we'll watch the kids. You guys go enjoy your vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's the clip here?

[Lunchbox]

My wife brought up that she thinks we should give them $500. Who? My in laws.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Four?

[Lunchbox]

Watching the kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let me hear this clip. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

I just don't get how that makes sense.

[Amy]

Well, they came here and they watched our kids for a whole week. Like that's a lot of work. So I think they deserve payment.

[Lunchbox]

I understand you think they deserve payment. Like $500? Isn't that called being a grandparent? You got the payment is they got to see their grandkids. Right. They did something nice for their daughter and their.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you.

[Amy]

But like they still had expenses and they still were giving up their own time and stuff, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think we should give them something.

[Lunchbox]

All right, let's go make out and pay me 500.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So what was said ahead of time?

[Lunchbox]

That was her. She just brought up goes, hey, you know, what do you think about giving my parents 500? And so I was like, wait, what a minute?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, but was there any discussion ahead of time of like, you covering their flights?

[Lunchbox]

No, there's none of this. This is all post transaction. This is post history. Like, they left, they flew out of town, and now all of a sudden I'm getting this, this like bomb dropped on me, I guess you could say.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think that they mentioned to.

[Lunchbox]

Your wife that could be because she did drive them to the airport without me, so I was not around for a conversation. Maybe they had like, hey, you know, are you gonna give us anything? Or.

[Bobby Bones]

And you don't think you should?

[Lunchbox]

I don't think I should. I think they said, hey, we'll come do it. So they said they'd come do it. They did it. It's been done. Part of the thing is you get to spend time with your grandkids. Isn't that payment enough? That's what you.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't think, I don't think that works.

[Eddie]

That's not the payment.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think. No, no, no. I think that. Yes, that's awesome. And I think though, if they were like, hey, we're gonna come, we'd love to do it. And it's super nice of them to do if there would have been discussion of, hey, yeah, we'll cover your flights, we'll make, make it easy on you guys, that, that happens ahead of time.

[Lunchbox]

I thought so too. I do, I mean, feel a little bad because my father in law did catch something from the kids. Like he's like not feeling well.

[Eddie]

That's part of it.

[Lunchbox]

But that's part of it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's, that's classical payment enough.

[Lunchbox]

That's right. That means he was snuggling with the kids. That means they got to spend good quality time with the kids.

[Bobby Bones]

They drive or fly?

[Lunchbox]

Are they flew?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know how much their flights were?

[Lunchbox]

I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Direct flights.

[Eddie]

Okay, well, have you ever paid for this before?

[Bobby Bones]

Good question. Good question.

[Lunchbox]

No, I've never, never even thought about paying for it.

[Bobby Bones]

And they do they volunteer to do it?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if they volunteered or if my wife had to reach out and be like, hey, you know, we'd like to go on a vacation. Can you guys come? I don't know if they were like, hey, why don't you guys go on vacation and we'll come watch the kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think they'll be upset if you don't pay them money? Do they know your wife Is asked in your opinion?

[Lunchbox]

A little bit. Me feels like they know. She asked.

[Eddie]

Eddie, what do you think? I feel like this is easy. They both Lunchbox and his wife have different bank accounts. If his wife thinks it's a good idea to pay them 500, then it could come out of her account. Lunchbox, stand your ground because I'm with you. I. I think the grandparents. It's a gift for them to come watch your kids.

[Bobby Bones]

For.

[Lunchbox]

For.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a gift. They're doing a favor.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but grandparents love. I've never heard of a grandparent not wanting to do this.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not about want, it's about what it costs to do it. Probably.

[Eddie]

I think grandparents are happy to pay the plane ticket to go see their grandchildren.

[Bobby Bones]

So you say your final answer is Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

If she wants to pay her parents 500, that comes out of her account.

[Bobby Bones]

But Lunchbox shouldn't have to.

[Eddie]

No, not if Lunchbox disagrees with it.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, what do you think about this?

[Morgan]

Oh, my goodness. I. Okay. My dad just came in and watched my animals and I'm literally giving him stuff because he came and did that out of like just kindness because he cared to come in town and take care of them for me when I could go on a trip. Like this is being kind. Maybe it's not 500 maybe stuff.

[Eddie]

Did you give your dad?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I got him like a massage and a gift card to go out to dinner. Like something. Because he didn't want to gesture back. Yeah, just. It was so kind that he flew in to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think about doing that kind of stuff.

[Eddie]

No. Just out of that.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, well, I did. Okay. If you. I mean, I did bring my mother in law back some tea from England because they drink tea. She drinks tea.

[Bobby Bones]

Consider yourself paid.

[Lunchbox]

So I was in the airport and they had a little tea section and I bought a couple different kinds of tea.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

That counts.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So, Morgan, you say what?

[Morgan]

I think you need to do some kind of gesture for him. Maybe it's not 500, but you need to do something because they did come this way. They spent a week here with your kids. Even though they're the grandparents, you need to do something for them in return.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Why the number 500?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know where my wife got that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Because she's a lot of money. She said that's not even a hundred dollars a day. And they're here 24 hours a day.

[Bobby Bones]

Do they need the money?

[Lunchbox]

No, they're good. They're retired, man. They are Chilling.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

They're doing nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is what I would say. Is it important they do it again?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So that's what you don't want to lose. Yeah. That it's not about you paying them for the past, but if there's an expectation now, and maybe your wife set the expectation with them and that expectation isn't met, then if you need them again, they may not be as quick to jump on an airplane and come and spend a few days here. So is it worth whatever that number is, 500. To make sure that they can be around the next time that you guys are going to leave and someone needs to watch your kids? I think that's what you have to factor in more than paying them for services rendered. It's making sure they feel comfortable with the overall experience so they'll do it again. Does that sound fair?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I understand what you're saying is like, I mean, in the future, I'd love to go on a vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And if you don't treat them with the respect they feel they deserve to be treated, if that's monetarily, if that's a gesture, then they may be less prone to accept.

[Lunchbox]

I understand what you're saying.

[Bobby Bones]

So that would be my answer is just pay it. It's going to make your wife happy. They're still. They're going to be on standby the next time, and happy to come and help you next time.

[Lunchbox]

But what about the tea?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, pay them.

[Lunchbox]

4.95 was more than $5.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, whatever it was, I think you pay them. If it's not gonna, like, break you guys. If it's not going to. I cause you to miss the water bill and you have it. Pay them.

[Eddie]

It's the. What do you call that, though? Like, principle setting up.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a principle. The prince. No, no, no.

[Lunchbox]

President.

[Eddie]

Precedent. You don't want to set that precedent, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but then you may not have the ability to have them ever again, or at least for them to be as flexible as they are, precedent or not.

[Eddie]

Okay, but on the other side, it starts at 500. Next time, what's it gonna be? 750. Then we're gonna go to a thousand.

[Bobby Bones]

What I would do, though, next time, what you can learn from this is to talk about what you're going to do ahead of time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Because you probably didn't even cover their flights to 500 bucks.

[Lunchbox]

Probably not.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's not about money, but I think it would be a nice gesture, and I think it would Set a precedent that it's not going to be more than that. Or you could just cover their fights. But that's gonna cost you more.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, man. Maybe I should suggest next time they drive.

[Bobby Bones]

You could suggest that cheaper. Yes, it'd be cheaper. Yeah. I say you pay them. You can even split it 250. 250. You and your wife, different bank accounts. But I think they need to be paid because you're going to want to use them again. Feel good about.

[Eddie]

Doesn't sound like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Time for the good news with lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Brian wardwell is a 46 year old climber from California. And he was going to Sequoia national park on Sunday. He's gonna do some hiking, some rappelling, supposed to be back Sunday night, doesn't show up. They call authorities like, hey, man, he's missing in the mountains. Can you go find him? And they send out, you know, one of those infrared things with a helicopter. They're like, we're picking up something behind this waterfall. So they send a drone down and he's stuck there in a crevice, and authorities are able to go rescue him. What happened is his rappel line broke and he got stuck in the crevice and he couldn't leave.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. That dude's probably weighing options. Yeah, like, maybe one of the options was, I'm never gonna get out of here.

[Eddie]

So he was just stuck there, like there. I mean, yeah, you can't go anywhere.

[Lunchbox]

But he was behind a waterfall, so he had a good view.

[Eddie]

So you got any good pictures?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at the picture. Like, he's just kind of like hanging there in the hole.

[Eddie]

God, that's scary.

[Bobby Bones]

Two days.

[Eddie]

You know we've been there, right?

[Lunchbox]

Sequoia, you've been to that part where.

[Eddie]

We went to that wedding.

[Lunchbox]

You went to the waterfall?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

We never saw the waterfall.

[Bobby Bones]

We drove by somebody hanging in a hole, and we were like, should we call? And Eddie was like, don't call. He's like, we got to get to the wedding, man.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, really would appreciate a call.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go. Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up, wake up in the morning's next bit. Now Bobby's on the mic, so you know what this is. Amy's out again today, so we will do the group morning Corny.

[Lunchbox]

The morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll start. What do you call a French man wearing sandals? What, Philippe? Flop.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Morgan, what do you have?

[Morgan]

What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe the most told one ever in the History of the show. Maybe the most joke ever in the history of.

[Morgan]

I write them for social media every day.

[Amy]

We've never done it.

[Eddie]

You've never heard that joke?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I read it online for the first time. I never heard the joke.

[Amy]

No.

[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

And I love cheese.

[Lunchbox]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. Okay. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

What's big, brown, and behind the wall?

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Humpty's Dump.

[Morgan]

That was a dumb joke.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's very terrible.

[Eddie]

That's so dumb.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean that's terrible?

[Eddie]

It's dumb. All right, Eddie, what did the full glass tell the empty glass? You look drunk. Okay, because it's drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen, it's a heart. It's a hard bit, right?

[Eddie]

No, that's a good joke.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Humpty's dump is hilarious because he sits on the wall.

[Eddie]

Yours is just gross, man.

[Bobby Bones]

What state does Santa enjoy visiting the most?

[Eddie]

What state does Santa enjoy visiting the most?

[Bobby Bones]

Idaho. Ho ho.

[Eddie]

It's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Solid.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to hear the one that didn't make the cut? Because I didn't know if. I don't know. What do you call a bulletproof Irishman?

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Rick o'. Shea. Ah, you have to know, like, o' Shea is an Irish name. Oh, yeah, Rick o'. Shea. Okay.

[Eddie]

I mean, everything's pretty good so far. Except nacho cheese.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, okay.

[Morgan]

Humdy's Dump was much worse than nacho cheese.

[Bobby Bones]

They were bad for different reasons. How about that?

[Lunchbox]

That was the morning. Corny bound.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine you're on trial for murder. You know you didn't do it, but the jury could find you guilty. I mean, lawyers are good. Sometimes they're wrong. And so the judge about to do his thing where he goes, okay, here's the verdict. Gets it, opens it up, and he goes, guilty. The guy's like, what? And he goes, oh, oh, sorry, I messed up.

[Unidentified Speaker]

Stop.

[Eddie]

Steve Harvey.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Oh, that's good.

[Eddie]

Steve Harvey style.

[Bobby Bones]

Steve Harvey did. That's funny. Let me play the clip here.

[Lunchbox]

The verdict. We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as to all six counts of the bill of indictment. Sheriff, would you please hand this to counsel and pass it over to. Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't I say, not sorry?

[Lunchbox]

We, the jury find the defendant not guilty on all six counts. I apologize for my mispronunciation.

[Eddie]

That's not funny, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Did I not say it? No, you did it. The jury. You can hear the jury in the back going, uh, said, no, no, no. Man, this is some corrupt crap, if that's what.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not a mispronunciation he messed up. That's okay. But that's a, that's a, that's a tough time to mess up. Yeah, but he, he just keeps going. Would you just play the first part of that again?

[Lunchbox]

The verdict. We the jury, find the defendant guilty as to all six counts of the bill of indictment. Sheriff, will you please hand this to council and pass it over to. Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, the person who was on trial who didn't do it, his butt puckered like this.

[Eddie]

Oh yeah, life's over.

[Bobby Bones]

Cuz you're already puckered a bit. Cuz you're on trial and you don't know which way that it's gonna swing and you're like guilty.

[Eddie]

But then, but then when he says I messed up.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you probably just poop everywhere, right? Is all out. Yeah. That's a crazy clip. Wanted to play that. Here, let me do some calls. Let's go to James in Colorado. Now we got a couple calls in a row because we had a listener asking about their 11 year old playing football and they're worried about it. The husband's not worried about it. James, what do you think?

[Unidentified Speaker]

Well, I think that like you said, man, it is one of the greatest thing. It teaches you how to work through adversity, how to work through, you know, discomfort. You know, there's growing up, I remember being, you know, asked are you hurt or injured? And there's a difference type of thing. And so like the grit that it really just drives into people. I think it, I think more people should play football. You know, I, I agree with the fact that, you know, we're trying to make it more safe and everything like that. But because like I played all growing up from when I was five all the way through college and a few years trying to chase the dream of making it to the big league. So I played like 23 years of football and now I found myself coaching it. And so being on both ends of it and everything like that, like I got to coach with my high school coach, which was a unique opportunity type of thing. You know, like, like you said, you know, there's a father figure type thing when you know, you respect your head coach and try to do things like that and you know, just getting to go kind of full circle and then start teaching kids about it and seeing them, you know, kind of grow and develop through, like I said, the hardships that it teaches you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think I had a. I won't say odd because I think a lot of kids had that relationship I had with football Where I didn't have a father figure for a lot of my life, and my head football coach, Coach Gandalf, was that even though he didn't know he was that specifically where. It taught me a lot of discipline. It taught me a lot about adversity. Yes, you can get hurt, but you can get hurt also. If your kid wants to be a gymnast.

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

And so taught me team sports, taught me hard work. So I'm a big play team sports guy. I loved football, but I think you can find it wherever. But if your kid wants to play and he's 11 and your husband's cool with it and you're not totally against it, I think you go with it. Don't force him to play, but I think you go with it. By the way, I tweeted something last night. I was out of my mind.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

As far as. Like, I couldn't sleep. I fell asleep for a little bit. I was in that weird state. And all I think about right now is Arkansas football. Like, I'm a. This is not new to me at this time of year. And I start to get dreams of maybe we can do it. I know. And every year it feels like I'm kind of just kicked in the butt and reminded, ah, maybe not this year, buddy.

[Eddie]

But it's the start of the season, man. Everyone's a winner.

[Bobby Bones]

I tweeted this. If Arkansas makes the College Football Playoff, I'll give someone random $10,000. Let this shift the universe in favor of the Hogs Now. I tweeted it, and I woke up and I looked at my Twitter and I was like, huh? Because I don't drink and I don't take any sleeping pills. I was not under the influence of anything, except I just wasn't asleep. I was in that weird state. And so I tweeted that. I said, I'll give someone random $10,000, and that means we have to make it to the top 12, which nobody's predicting us to do. And I guess this is me attempting to shift the universe with positivity going, I will give someone $10,000. How safe is my money, lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

It's safe, dude. You can just. You don't have to worry about it. There's no chance they might.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a chance.

[Eddie]

Always a chance.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a chance.

[Lunchbox]

But realistically, they may win six, seven games, and that is nowhere near the college football playoffs. So you can put that $10,000 and just not even worry about it. It is. That tweet is never going to come.

[Bobby Bones]

Back to haunt you, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm kind of with Lunchbox. I think you're safe for the most part. Is there always a chance?

[Bobby Bones]

Haters? Yes, haters.

[Eddie]

That's funny, dude. That's funny that you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just trying to shift the. I'm just trying to shift it a bit. You know, if I like offer something out, maybe like positivity clouds the world a little more about it.

[Eddie]

Were you shocked by the number when you woke up today? Like, oh, 10,000.

[Bobby Bones]

I remembered it, but I. But it was one of those, like, did that really happen?

[Eddie]

Like a dream.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it a dream? Because I go to my phone if I'm like half awake and I watch TikToks and stuff and I was like, huh, I did write that. I'll do it.

[Eddie]

I think you're good.

[Bobby Bones]

I hope I have to pay it.

[Eddie]

Oh, I know you do have a.

[Lunchbox]

Comment on the tweet.

[Bobby Bones]

I really didn't have any rules because.

[Lunchbox]

I'm going to go comment just in case.

[Eddie]

Oh, you're going to be a random person.

[Lunchbox]

I am going to be a random person.

[Bobby Bones]

But you hear me now. I don't know how I'm going to do it yet, but if Arkansas makes the College Football playoff, the top 12 teams, I will give somebody random $10,000. But don't take it out of the bank yet.

[Lunchbox]

You're saying, hey, dude, you don't have to worry about going to the bank. I mean, don't even, hey, three weeks into the season, you can just delete the tweet.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not true. That three weeks into the season. Not true, not true. Little early, maybe later, but that's what's up. All right, your calls. Hit us up. 877-77-Bobby. 877-77. Back in a second. Bobby Bone Show.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Wilmington, North Carolina. A 49 year old man shows up at the Longhorn Steakhouse with his dogs. Like, I'd like a table. So they sit him out on the patio and he's eating. Then he gets his dog up in the chair and starts feeding his dog off the plate. And the waiter's like, sir, you can't feed your dog the food. That's a health code violation. He's like, I can do whatever I want. It's my dog. So they ask him to leave. And the 49 year old man takes his plate, throws it, Bam. Smacks the dude in the head.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa. The story just kept escalating.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It just kept getting weirder and weirder.

[Eddie]

Because it was weird that the dog was eating from the table.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I think I wouldn't have called the waiter right then, but then, hey, sir, you can't do that. And then he assaults the person with a plate.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And it caused a hairline fracture and seven stitches.

[Bobby Bones]

So what happened to the guy?

[Lunchbox]

He got arrested. No word on what happened to the dog.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because it's your dog. That doesn't mean you go to another place that's not yours and do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want with your dog. Well. Well, sort of.

[Lunchbox]

Honestly, I don't know. I had no idea that you couldn't feed your dog the food off your plate at a restaurant.

[Eddie]

But it sounds like the dog was like, sitting like. Like a customer.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like the dog was sitting at the restaurant. And maybe they didn't even allow dogs for the most part. Yeah. Texas Roadhouse is not really a dog. Longhorn.

[Lunchbox]

Longhorn. Yeah, same thing.

[Bobby Bones]

I get those two mixed up a lot.

[Eddie]

I did, too.

[Lunchbox]

All right, good. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.

[Big Three Playoffs Announcer]
