Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Amy’s “Almost Kidnapped” Story & Viral Crime Myths

[05:04–09:45]

• Amy recounts returning to her car after dinner at Chewy’s with her son, Stevenson, and finding a container of Jalapeño Ranch by her tire. Stevenson urgently warns her not to bend down:
  • “Mom, stop. No, don’t bend down. We need to search for suspicious people. I’ve seen this on YouTube.” (Amy, 05:27)
• Stevenson believes this could be part of a ploy to distract victims so criminals can attack or steal their car.
• Amy googled such schemes and reads warnings that “random items by your tire” could mark you as a target, or distract you to get you out of your car.
• The crew is skeptical but acknowledges the emotional undercurrent, especially Stevenson’s desire to keep his mom safe.
• Debate over reality vs. viral fear:
  • “I think sometimes people just make [these stories] up… Only to get you to watch. And there’s nothing functional about it. I think this is one of those.” (Bobby, 06:50)
• Amy admits these are likely urban legends, but the emotional jitters are hard to shake:
  • “I know these are likely myths. They’re just hard to shake, you know?” (Amy, 09:00)
• General takeaway: Good to be aware, but check facts before panicking.

2. Vulnerability and Online Judgment: Caitlin’s Story

[11:18–15:50]

• Amy praises Caitlin (Bobby's wife) for her candor on the Bobbycast, where Caitlin discusses her medical struggles, pregnancy complications, online criticism, and being forced to leave a cruise early for health reasons.
• “I was really proud of her vulnerability. I didn’t push her to do it, and I’m glad that she’s finally able to tell that story.” (Bobby, 13:13)
• Conversation highlights how people can be quick to judge online, not knowing what’s really happening in someone’s life.
• “It’s a reminder that you don’t know what someone has going on in their life. So like, be kind.” (Amy, 13:31)

---

3. Guilty Pleasures: TV, Wrestling, and Algorithm Woes

[16:00–22:47]

• The crew discusses their “guilty pleasures,” mostly focused on reality TV and viral internet videos.
• Ray describes watching “Summer House,” a reality show set in the Hamptons, and why it originally fascinated him:
  • “Before, they would work in New York City… go party in the Hamptons, and then go to work on Monday. That’s crazy. Now they all have influencer deals.” (Ray, 17:18)
• Lunchbox and others admit to doomscrolling fight videos and trash TV despite not really enjoying it.
• Bobby settles on wrestling as his guilt-free guilty pleasure:
  • “I’m a 46-year-old adult man and I really like wrestling. So I think that’s going to be my answer.” (Bobby, 19:00)
• Conversation spirals into TikTok algorithms—almost everyone’s feeds devolve after watching just one type of clip (e.g., street fights).
• Notable moment: Laughter over how the “For You” page turns dark the minute you hesitate on a violent video:
  • “You’re saying you don’t like it, but if you’re being fed it, it means you are consuming it.” (Bobby, 21:30)

4. The Reality of Toxic Bosses and Gen Z at Work

[23:20–26:05]

• Amy shares a poll about Americans' affinity for “The Devil Wears Prada” and how it resonates because so many workers report having toxic bosses (3 in 5 according to a 2026 Harris poll).

---

• Group reminisces about Pizza Hut salad bars, nostalgia for the “iconic” dine-in restaurants, and their go-to childhood pies.
• Standout quotes:
  • “Friday nights after a football game, like, Pizza Hut was the place.” (Lunchbox, 27:28)
  • “The super thin Pizza Hut pizza was my favorite pizza. I mean, by far, number one.” (Bobby, 27:46)
• Lunchbox reveals Pizza Hut is now a "splurge" for his family, ranking higher-priced than Domino's or Papa John’s.

---

6. Papa John Ousted & Wealth, Endorsements with Shaq

[31:07–38:15]

• Bobby asks if Papa John is still involved in the company—Morgan and Amy clarify he was ousted after a scandal (confirmed: use of a racial slur on a 2018 call).
• Shaq is now an owner/franchisee, and Amy notes his business savvy—he got himself an endorsement deal with Ring camera after seeking them out.
• Group muses on the awkwardness of being removed from your own company, despite likely retiring as a mega-millionaire:

• Lunchbox describes firefighters using sound waves to extinguish fire.
• “The energy weapons are wild.” (Bobby, 42:28)
• Religious leaders reportedly getting prepped for future “disclosure” (alien confirmation) to help them reframe their teachings.
  • “Being a religious leader and going, this is about to happen… what your message has been is not accurate based on what we now know.” (Bobby, 44:57)
• Bobby skeptical that news about aliens would upend society:
  • “I think right now there’s just so many distractions and so much hardship that, yeah, it’d be wild, but I don’t think a simple sharing of, ‘Hey, there are these things we don’t understand,’ would actually create societal upheaval.” (Bobby, 45:40)

[47:16–50:49]

11. Closing Banter: Cinco de Mayo, Misconceptions

[59:20–60:38]

[Lunchbox]

your bobby bones on Bobby Bones, y'.

[Bobby Bones]

All. Hi. My husband is a firefighter, and I

[Eddie]

was telling him about the testosterone stuff, and he was telling me that a

[Bobby Bones]

lot of firefighters actually have low T because they don't get good sleep at. And when you sleep is when your body produces testosterone. He said somebody that he knows had a testosterone level of 40.

[Eddie]

If Eddie's having trouble sleeping, maybe he

[Bobby Bones]

needs to look into the.

[Eddie]

The core cause of that, and maybe it'll help.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks.

[Lunchbox]

That makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a lot of reasons, a lot of excuses. Yeah, there's a 10 million reasons.

[Lunchbox]

Reasons.

[Morgan]

Well, you lost.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Regardless, why is my key solo.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, we have some guesses. He's a low T guy, I think.

[Lunchbox]

Man. That makes sense, though. Lunchbox can sleep like a rock.

[Amy]

Oh, so he's producing more.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but still he has more. Yeah, there's.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. No, I'm not arguing the results. I'm just saying, like, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it, got it, got it. Are you embarrassed to have low testosterone? I. I hope you're not.

[Lunchbox]

It's not embarrassing. It's the fact that every time I talk to someone, it comes up.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe if they. It doesn't come up, they know it and they're looking at you and they want to say it, but they can't.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm starting to think, too.

[Amy]

Just embrace it.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, next voicemail, please.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

You're really out here bragging about beating Eddie. Your testicles blow up during the day,

[Eddie]

or one does and the other one

[Bobby Bones]

shrinks when you sleep.

[Eddie]

Who's really struggling with manhood right now?

[Bobby Bones]

Seriously, that's an injury. I don't think that's fair.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's not even relevant. Like it's an injury. Something happened to my body, so there's something going on. And it's the same one that goes up and goes down. It's not like one shrinks and the other one.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be weird if one testicle blew up on Monday and the other one blew up on Tuesday. The other one deflated.

[Amy]

And I think it'd definitely be worse if the problem was one's getting really, really small.

[Morgan]

Right.

[Amy]

But one's getting really big.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

So I think the testosterone is stuck there.

[Lunchbox]

So if anything, one has more testosterone. More. Yeah, it's more manlier.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys can leave us a voicemail at any time. 877 77. Bobby. That's our phone number. What'd you do yesterday?

[Amy]

I recorded some spots after I left this show. And then what did I Do on Tuesday? Oh, I had to make some videos at home, like, for work, though. Here. I guess I was supposed to do them before I left, but I didn't, so I had to do them at home.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything non worky.

[Amy]

Read my book. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Pretty. Pretty easy day.

[Amy]

I went to dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. It took us.

[Amy]

Okay, well, I can't remember all the things that I do, but you buried the lead. Went to dinner. Now y' all are thinking, I went on a date.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't know. When I say, what'd you do? And you said commercials at work, like nobody cares about that.

[Amy]

No, I went. Okay. Are you getting at. I went to eat with Stevenson, and we went to Chewy's, and then there was like, I'm not getting anything.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Tell your story.

[Amy]

Okay, well, so this I. We go to dinner, and we get back to the car, and there's. You know how sometimes they'll put, like, Cilantro Ranch and a to go thing, or Jalapeno Ranch, and there was, like, a jar of it by the tire, and I almost bent down to get it. And Stevenson goes, mom, stop. No, don't bend down. We need to search for suspicious people. I've seen this on YouTube, and he was trying to save me from bending down and getting distracted and then getting knocked out or taken so that someone could get my car or get me.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a thing?

[Amy]

It's apparently a thing. He saw it on YouTube.

[Bobby Bones]

So when I got home with Cilantro Ranch, specifically.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they use dip.

[Amy]

No, but since we left Chewy's, I think, is that yummy Jalapeno ranch stuff that they have.

[Lunchbox]

It is really good.

[Amy]

It could be.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know. I think if it were, like, money or something, you'd bend down to get it.

[Amy]

It could be anything. Like, it could be food. Yes, Bobby, it could be money. It could be whatever item to get you to bend down to get it. So when I get home, I Google this after he tells me what he's seen on YouTube. And you might see, uh, it might even be something stuck on your tire. You don't see, but it would make a loud noise. So when you reverse, you back over it, and it makes you stop and get out to see what you hit.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Amy]

So now your car.

[Bobby Bones]

First way they get you on, the second, you're running over it.

[Amy]

Well, now your car's running. Your doors open, you're getting out. So they just push you over and get in and drive off. With your car?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know this has ever happened ever in history.

[Amy]

I Googled it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think sometimes people just make. You ever see the videos where people like, I do this every time I go to a hotel, and they do something like put tape over the microwave and they write numbers and they pull the tape off. It's only to get you to watch. And there's nothing functional about it. I think this is one of those.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so, Amy, did you get knocked out?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they take your car?

[Amy]

No. Stevenson warned me. Mom, we need to look around. He looked around for suspicious people. No suspicious people. But then this is what I found online when I got home to look it up. Reasons. Random items might be sitting next to your tire to create a distraction, like I said. Marking. They use it to mark the car as a potential target to break into it later. Tampering.

[Bobby Bones]

They're using Cilantro Ranch to mark your car to rob it later.

[Amy]

Or it might be something else. In this case, there was a thing of the ranch tampering to see if the car is monitored, noting that if the object is removed, it indicates that the owner is attentive. So, like, hey, we probably don't mess with this person. Um, experts say to do this, do not get out of your car. If you hear something crunch underneath of you, drive forward and away. And then take care of the situation. Look in rear view mirrors to see if anyone is suspicious watching you or waiting. And then report it or notify parking lot security or local police.

[Morgan]

Oh, please call the police. Oh, yeah, there's some Jalapeno Ranch by my.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, sorry. It's a different ranch.

[Amy]

No, no, I got confused. We were at Chewy. So it was the Jalapeno Ranch. It's. It's Chipotle that has the Cilantro Ranch.

[Bobby Bones]

I literally was just ask what you did yesterday.

[Amy]

Oh, well, I thought you were digging for something. I thought, well, maybe I have a story here.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you did. Remember when Amy was thinking that they would drop a. A baby off at your front door and make it cry, and then you'd be like, I must open the door and see the crying baby on my porch. And as soon as you do, a gang attacks you.

[Amy]

Yeah. Or you put a baby carriage on the side of the highway.

[Morgan]

You pull over.

[Lunchbox]

I would stop for that.

[Amy]

And then. Car seat.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not stopping for a baby carriage by itself on the side of the.

[Eddie]

No, no.

[Amy]

A car seat and then no baby.

[Bobby Bones]

You're just sitting on the side of

[Lunchbox]

the road with a baby. At least you're not gonna see the baby.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're on the highway, you're not slowing down because you're not gonna see it till you get right up on it. You're not gonna think there's a baby in it yout're gonna think it fell out of somebody's truck.

[Amy]

I know that these are likely myths. They're just hard to shake when you know.

[Lunchbox]

How much time do you spend on all this, Amy? Like, all the research?

[Amy]

No, I got home and I thought, well, is Stevenson onto something? And so when I Google it, sure enough, could be a thing. And I don't know what he's seen on YouTube, like, just warnings. He watched YouTube shorts, so it might have just been like a heads up. If you see something by your car, there's another thing. Suspicious people, or they say they put

[Bobby Bones]

zip ties on the door handles or windshield wipers of cars to mark people that'd be fun to abduct.

[Lunchbox]

Fun.

[Morgan]

Fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

That's one of the things I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But it's. It's a myth. It's not real.

[Morgan]

That can't be real.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, yeah, there's windshield wipers, there's jalapeno ranch.

[Lunchbox]

Right?

[Amy]

I know, I know, I know it sounds ridiculous. It does, really. The main point of the story is I thought it was cute that my son wanted to protect me.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was just to be aware of your surroundings at all times.

[Amy]

You should always have situational awareness.

[Bobby Bones]

I literally was just like, what'd you do last night?

[Amy]

Well, what'd you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Amy]

See, it's hard to think.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know what I did. The baby wasn't feeling great all night, and so we kind of dealt with that. But she slept all the way through the night, which is great. So we were worried she wasn't gonna sleep through the night, but baby has a reflux issue, I heard. Digestive system still growing, so like hardcore reflux. And so it, like, burns her. I have that too. As, like an adult, I have crazy digestion issues. But the doctor has assured me that you don't pass digestion issues down genetically. Because I definitely feel like it's my fault. But doctors are like, nah, that's not it. This is a baby that's body is growing and there's, you know, it's all developing. So we dealt with that all day yesterday, and we were just concerned she wasn't gonna sleep. But she slept all through the night, so that was. That was wonderful news.

[Amy]

Oh, good.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's what I. That's What? We did literally nothing but that. Because all the attention. I'll tell you guys about it after the show. Having a baby's tough.

[Lunchbox]

Please let us know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'll tell. Well, we're so curious. I'll give you guys really, some tips.

[Amy]

I walked my dog and listened to. To you and Caitlin on your Q and A podcast.

[Lunchbox]

You did that yesterday, too?

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, I just need a little time to think about what all I did because, yeah, I.

[Bobby Bones]

We posted that. It's up on the Bobbycast feed if you want to go search for it. A long time ago, I'd say a year ago, my wife and I made a bet. I won the bet, so she owed me episodes on the podcast, and she never wants to do them, honestly, and so showed me 12 episodes because she kept losing the bet. And she's done one. And finally I was like, hey, let's go down and we'll go talk about. And she was like, great. And she was feeling good. But, yeah, she talked about stuff that she's never talked about. Like, she's been on chemo for a long time, and she's to eat away at the bad cells. She had to be on a certain chemo medicine during her pregnancy. And so we talked about that she had to have 40 ultrasounds during her pregnancy because with the disease that she has, they worried the antibody would go from her into the baby's heart the whole time. So she's going in two and three times a week to do all these ultrasounds. And so it was a constant stress on. I'd say us, but her. And she talked about that, and it was the first time that she'd really said that. And to me, what was kind of crazy was she had mentioned that, like, people were mad at her because they had to leave the cruise a couple days early. We were one, two weeks out from her having labor. We went to the doctor the morning I left for the cruise because we didn't know if I could go at all. And the doctor's like, if we get anything back, any report back that the antibodies travel, because it travels, it has the potential to travel most later in the pregnancy. Like, we have to put her into labor immediately. And so people were so mean to her about me having to leave the cruise two days early. And she finally was like, that was really terrible. I didn't want to say anything about it, but people were rude and mean to me, and they had no idea what we were going through. Like, I was on this drug doing three ultrasounds a week trying to make sure with the disease that I have, it doesn't get passed through the baby. The doctor saying, you could go into labor at any moment, because if we. So, yeah, I was really proud of her vulnerability. I didn't push her to do it, and I'm glad that she's finally able to tell that story. I wanted to tell the story because people were coming at me, too, but I'm just like, what am I going to do? I'll just take it. Take it on the chin. I still went. Doctor didn't want me to go at all, but I felt like I owed it to go, But I just couldn't be waterlocked. I had to have the ability to get off the. Off the boat if anything went wrong. And so that was that part. But it's on the Bobbycast, if you want to hear it. It's my wife and I talking about that. And she was extremely vulnerable. She doesn't do a lot in the public eye, but I was proud of her.

[Amy]

Yeah, me too. I texted her saying, I know that that's not easy to open up about that sort of stuff, but it was, I think, would be helpful for people to have a better insight and also to share that stuff. And other people that are going through difficult pregnancies that they're not. It's information not everybody knows about, and it's a reminder that you don't know what someone has going on in their life. So, like, be kind.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Like, I knew. You knew. You knew the whole time what was happening with us. And it was a very stressful time.

[Amy]

Yeah. That's why I didn't send her mean messages.

[Bobby Bones]

Or else you do other times when

[Amy]

you left the cruise. I let it good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, people were even mean to you guys on the cruise after I left about me having to leave.

[Morgan]

That was awkward.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, man, it's not anybody's business. My wife doesn't want it shared. What she's going through right now, what we're going through, but what she. She physically was going through. Like, they literally had to put her on a specific chemotherapy drug before pregnancy because it was the one she could be pregnant on to try to kill the cells of her disease.

[Amy]

And, yeah, she even opened up about the part about how that's a decision y' all had to make. There were other drugs available, but she

[Bobby Bones]

couldn't be on them. Pregnant.

[Amy]

If you plan on having children you have to make, there's only an option that will allow you to still do that. And, you know, obviously, Having a family was something I wanted to do.

[Bobby Bones]

But is it weird listening to that podcast when you knew all that information anyway? It's like when I watch the Office, I do it for comfort. I know everything's gonna happen. But you knew all that?

[Amy]

Yeah, I wanted to listen because I knew that Caitlin would be. I mean, I don't want to speak for her, but in my mind, like, as a friend, I'm thinking, like, putting something out there like that she's gotta be nervous about it. And I wanted to hear it because I knew she'd do great and I wanted to listen to support her and then send her a note and let her know, like, that I was proud of her and that she did a great job. And to be vulnerable like that is difficult, especially with a lot of the negative stuff she receives from people randomly for no reason. She's opening herself up to maybe even more of that for people that are just not nice people, but more so that she's doing it for the people that will appreciate hearing something like that or need to hear part of her story because it may relate to them in some way. So I just. I wanted to listen to support.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, what's up? Go search for the Bobbycast. That's that podcast, and hit subscribe. That'd be cool. But yeah, that's up. Back in a second. Hey, Ray, do you watch Summer House?

[Ray]

Yeah, that's definitely one of the three reality shows that I watch.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me a quick description of what they do.

[Ray]

They all work in New York City on the weekends. They go party in Montauk, Hamptons in a house. It's moved over the years and they're all 30 somethings now. The show's been on for 10 years, so some of them are now married.

[Bobby Bones]

It's been on for 10 years.

[Ray]

Some of them have kids. Yeah, the cast varies, but there's like two or three of them that have been on for all 10 years.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. I had no idea it had the longevity of a decade.

[Ray]

Different house, better house.

[Bobby Bones]

And do they only do it in the summer?

[Ray]

Oh, they film different times. They want you to think it's the summer in New York City. We all head to the Hamptons. But I would say, you know, sometimes it seems it's a little colder out where they don't go in the pool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how you know.

[Ray]

Yeah, that's how you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie watched it for the first time.

[Lunchbox]

Ray, you like this show? Like, I. I'm just curious because I had, you know, a few hours at the hotel when we Were in Austin. I'm like, man, we got time here. Like, let me see what Bravo's all about. And they start showing Summer House. Vanderpump Rules. I don't know how people watch this stuff. It's so much useless drama. Like, as soon as I turn around, somebody was crying because of the way her man was acting at the pool. And I'm like, what is happening here, Ray? How do you watch this stuff?

[Ray]

Well, here's how it started. Before it was actually. They would work in New York City Monday through Friday, and then they would go party in the Hamptons, and then they would go to their jobs on Monday, and it would show them on Sunday, still partying. And I'm like, how do these people party and then go to work on Monday? That's crazy. Now they all have influencer deals. None of them have jobs. They sell alcohol. So of course you can party on the weekends if your job is part time Monday through Friday.

[Bobby Bones]

No, he's just asking how you watch that, though.

[Ray]

That's what I'm saying. I was fascinated by the work aspect. How can they go that hard during the week and go that hard on the weekends? Now I'm passively watching it. Have I seen every episode this season? No. Will I? Yes. But it's not must see TV for me.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I turn it on, and within two minutes, this girl is with her guy or whatever, and she goes and gets a drink. By the time she's coming back, her guy's talking to some other girl. Oh, he's talking to that beep. And then she gets all mad, storms into the house. And then one of her girlfriend's like, oh, no, I gotta go help. And then they're sitting on the bed, and the girl's like, I just don't know how you could do that. And the other girl's like, I know, I know. It's crazy. Like, And I'm just. I can't watch more of this. This is so useless. I don't understand it.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, do you watch any of this stuff?

[Eddie]

I don't watch Summer House. I watch the Below Deck. That one is entertaining.

[Lunchbox]

Same deal though, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but they're on a yacht and they're working, and it's like with rich people. So I don't know, it just feels not as reality tv, a little bit more like real life. But it is still pretty trash tv.

[Ray]

Yeah. In Summer House now, they let them play on their phones and the camera. Sometimes it'll be three girls laying in a bed playing on their phones and I'm like watching. What are we watching? Literally, what is this show recording? How is this put on broadcast television? Bravo.

[Lunchbox]

And then Vanderpump. So I watched just a second of that one. But that's like a restaurant or something, I guess. The lady's name is Lisa Vanderpump. Lisa Vanderpump. She's like the owner of the restaurant. And then everyone works at the restaurant, but they're all hooking up with each other. So of course there's drama with all the servers.

[Morgan]

So. Pretty good though, no? Oh, you didn't like that one?

[Amy]

That one was good.

[Eddie]

I watched that one for a few seasons, but then. Then it got like Gray said they all like influencer jobs and it wasn't them working at the restaurant. So then it changed and I stopped

[Bobby Bones]

watching it a lot of times. I'll get the question. Hey, what is your. What do they call it? Something you're ashamed of?

[Lunchbox]

Guilty pleasure.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, your guilty pleasure. I never really have a guilty pleasure because I don't feel guilty about anything that I do because I don't watch that stuff. Think if I did, I'd be like, oh, that's funny. I think my answer is gonna start being wrestling.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

When I get asked that, I don't really feel guilty about it, but it's kind of a. I'm a 46 year old adult man and I really like wrestling. So I think that's going to be my answer. As you guys were talking about that, I was like, that sounds terrible. Like, oh, it sounds so terrible that I'd be embarrassed to admit it. But then it reminds me, I get asked that question a lot. If I'm being interviewed, I never have a good answer. It's always something stupid. Like I probably watch, you know, more random Arkansas sports that I don't even like. Arkansas gymnastics or something that I don't even understand the rules. But I think it's wrestling from now on.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, wrestling's good.

[Bobby Bones]

My guilty pleasure is I love wrestling. But I don't know, I really don't feel like guilty about it.

[Amy]

Well, I don't think I feel guilty about Real Housewives stuff when I was really into it, but just what it's called, guilty.

[Bobby Bones]

What would you say now, though?

[Amy]

I know because I don't. I mean, Housewives definitely used to be it. Good question. Do I even have one?

[Bobby Bones]

Gotta come up with one just in case you ever get asked. I mean, maybe it's TikTok.

[Amy]

What if I'm like.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd say that too. I watch a Lot of Tick Tock videos. It's just reels. It's not even tick tock. It's reals. I'm embarrassed to say. I watch reels before Tick Tock, man.

[Lunchbox]

I watched one Street Fight and now that's all I'm getting.

[Morgan]

It's good, right?

[Lunchbox]

Knockout videos. Oh, I hate them though.

[Morgan]

But you watch them?

[Lunchbox]

No, to see someone just get knocked out. Like it starts from like just two guys shoving each other to a knockout on the street and then everyone jumps in. I. I don't like them.

[Morgan]

What about the Rangers one when the Yankees fight? That was a great one, dude. The dudes all chirping his face, blah blah blah in the stands of the baseball game. And then he holds his Diet Coke up and the Yankees fan kind of hits the Diet Coke and then it's all.

[Lunchbox]

They start tumbling down the. The seats. Yeah, they start going down like rows

[Morgan]

of seats and then they're going stairs. And the girlfriend tries to attack the dudes and the guy just shoves the girlfriend and down she goes down the stairs.

[Bobby Bones]

You're saying you don't like it, but if you're being fed it, it means you are consuming it.

[Lunchbox]

I watched one way too long. One video.

[Bobby Bones]

But then they'll send you like three more and if you don't watch those, they'll stop.

[Lunchbox]

You're right. Now I'm watching. You're right. I'm watching a little bit to see. Kind of like. But once, once that knockout punch happens,

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like the hits.

[Lunchbox]

I don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Comfortable. I just pulled my Tick tock up. The first video that popped up I was seeing. What's my algorithm right now? It's a guy talking. If you play the quantity game in art versus music, you create with quality, that type of thing. So it's art. I got a guy that used to work on the Dan Patrick show. Seaton o' Connor talking about his life. I have a ball and glove baseball trick where the Blue Jays second baseman acts like he's on the ball to the pitcher and he doesn't and he tags them when he walks off.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I have WNBA have our show pops up my for you. Shane Gillis doing a bit. That's what. There's a wrestling viral video shows a man knocking out drunk guy groped his wife. New York Post.

[Lunchbox]

Oh no.

[Bobby Bones]

That was all that story. That was a new big news story. Yeah. And the dude come up and just clobber.

[Lunchbox]

That might have been the one I saw that started this whole deal.

[Morgan]

That was a good one. They were at the pool. I mean, she's shooting pool and he comes up behind and that, that, that dude just.

[Lunchbox]

Bah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep, Nailed him.

[Eddie]

Did you see the one of the sheriff hitting the umpire?

[Bobby Bones]

Beat him up on the field. It was crazy.

[Eddie]

That was wild.

[Morgan]

He got fired.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

He should.

[Bobby Bones]

He went out. The umpire on the field in between, I think second and third base.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I was like 14 you some baseball game. And he didn't agree with the call. Went out arguing and fought him.

[Bobby Bones]

Like tackled him, just punching them. Then the crowd come running.

[Morgan]

Some of the kids get in there and start fighting. It was terrible. Crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

You watch like three times and be like, I don't like it.

[Morgan]

We watch it again.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what do you have?

[Amy]

So there might be a reason why the Devil wears Prada 2 earned $77 million last weekend.

[Bobby Bones]

Nostalgia.

[Amy]

Well, there is nostalgia, but then there was some research they attached to why people like that sort of stuff. And it turns out a lot of Americans can relate to having a toxic boss like the character Miranda Priestly in their lives. Three in five American workers say they currently have a boss who exhibits toxic behaviors. This is according to a 2026 Harris poll. It's mostly Gen Z workers saying this, though. Nobody in here is anybody here.

[Bobby Bones]

Gen Z. Gen Z's lazy man.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what is Gen Z.

[Eddie]

No, I'm a like last millennial, but

[Amy]

I'm an elder millennial.

[Eddie]

I'm like on the younger.

[Amy]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

97 to 2012.

[Amy]

Okay, so if you're born 97 to

[Bobby Bones]

2012, what's toxic mean to 90? Someone born in 97 showing up on time.

[Amy]

Haven't the behavior. The behaviors of the toxic boss include blaming others when they make a mistake, not giving credit for good work, and having unreasonable expectations for their employees.

[Bobby Bones]

The first two I get like that. That sucks in general for everybody. Doesn't matter what, what Millennial Falcon. I don't know. What are the other things you can be?

[Morgan]

Millennial?

[Bobby Bones]

Star Wars.

[Amy]

There's a few more fun statistics in the city. Over half of the people surveyed said they have attended therap address the toxicity of their current or previous boss. And then on the flip side of things, companies are firing Gen Z employees just months after hiring them because they

[Bobby Bones]

whine too much about the bosses.

[Amy]

Six in 10 companies fired a recent college graduate after they hired them just earlier in the year. Over 50% of bosses say they fired their Gen Z employees because they showed lack of innovate, innovation, lack of motivation. Bosses also say they Arrive late to meetings, communicate poorly and wear office inappropriate clothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, consider you guys are very fortunate to have been a great leader.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Not toxic.

[Bobby Bones]

Great leader. Show up on time if you're sick, go home, do your job, everybody's good. Otherwise get the F out of here. You know what I mean.

[Amy]

Well, none of us are Gen Z. I know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. That's why.

[Amy]

And none of us are late.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Amy]

Anymore. And we all wear office appropriate clothing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. But we had to be told.

[Amy]

I would say some of us communicate poorly. We're all.

[Lunchbox]

We had to tell you to stop wearing those miniskirts, Amy.

[Amy]

Remember?

[Morgan]

That was weird.

[Amy]

This was a weird joke.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean? I think that was appropriate.

[Amy]

Who this is a jo. What? I never have worn mini skirt.

[Lunchbox]

This is a joke.

[Morgan]

That's why it's a joke.

[Lunchbox]

It's funny.

[Amy]

It's coming from.

[Bobby Bones]

And you think he's gonna tell you

[Lunchbox]

that and don't like that's what that means. Inappropriate attire.

[Amy]

Elderly millennial. What's E.D.

[Lunchbox]

a Gen X. Amy, I am two years older than you're an admiration.

[Bobby Bones]

They do act like you're 100 years older than them, which is funny. All right. Thank you for your story. Yeah. Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Pizza Hut's book it is back. Congratulations. They have announced they are redoing the summer of stories encouraging kids to read over the summer. The program opens for kids Pre K through 6th grade June 1st to August 31st. You had to download the app track your reading and free pizzas are back for the kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you go in Pizza Huts anymore?

[Morgan]

Well, you go in to pick it up.

[Lunchbox]

You drive through, you go in the store.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not what I'm asking like to eat because back in the day all Pizza Huts you go in there'd be an awesome salad bar and had that kind of weird lighting. All booths, little table, a couple tables in the middle. Yeah but like it was is excellent like a plus. And I just don't ever see those standalone Pizza Huts anymore.

[Morgan]

No, they don't have them. You just go to the like all they do is the counter where you can sit and there's a couple benches where you wait for the pizzas. There's no in room dining that I've seen.

[Lunchbox]

There's one that I went to. I went to because you go through a drive through to pick it up and then you can. I saw people sitting in there but I didn't know it was open. But I guess I saw people in there.

[Bobby Bones]

But they used to all be the buildings were all the same shape too. Yes. I just wonder if they have those anymore.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, Friday nights after a football game, like, Pizza Hut was the place.

[Bobby Bones]

Awesome. And they still made. It's tough because I don't get to really have that kind of pizza anymore. It was the best pizza to me. Now, maybe it's because that's what I had when I was a kid, but the super thin Pizza Hut pizza was my favorite pizza. I mean, by far, number one. I don't. Pizza Domino's was good, but Pizza Hut was number one.

[Eddie]

There's still the Pizza Hut that you're thinking of. Like, we have one. It's out kind of, I guess, 30 minutes from here. We have like that typical Pizza Hut. That's like. The Pizza Hut has a salad bar.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

It says that there are. In 2026, they started bringing back locations that even have the buffet and salad bar. Right now they have locations in Tennessee and Hawaii.

[Lunchbox]

That's it. Two states.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it.

[Morgan]

That's what it says. They have one in Georgia too. It's on my bucket list. To go check out.

[Bobby Bones]

To go check out. You never had one?

[Morgan]

Well, when I was a kid, but I haven't.

[Lunchbox]

I haven't seen it in 30 years.

[Amy]

There's a one here. Well, you could tell it was one in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where my sister lives.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like an eye doctor now?

[Amy]

No, it's a shoe store now. But it's crazy because you, you know, it's a Pizza Hut because it has the iconic shape.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, those were the days.

[Lunchbox]

It really was.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the best. What was? What's the best pizza to you? What'd you think it was growing up?

[Amy]

Well, I mean, growing up, I had a lot of Mr. Gaddy's, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

So that was it for me. But as an adult, I love thin crust Domino's.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't do adult, though. We got smarter as adults. What was your kid favorite pizza?

[Amy]

Well, then Mr. Gaddy's and the ranch was the best, hands down.

[Morgan]

You Mr. Gaddy's?

[Bobby Bones]

Because there was one near.

[Morgan]

Yeah, there was one near. And we used to go there after baseball games and Parmalane Tavern was right next door as a bar. And we'd run and open up and yell and run away, and we thought we were the craziest kids in the world. So good. And then they bring those cinnamon sticks. Oh, my God.

[Amy]

And the apple pizza.

[Morgan]

The apple pizza.

[Bobby Bones]

So yours turned to. What is it? I don't.

[Amy]

Thin crust dominoes. Although I do think they've tweaked the recipe a little bit, and that makes me annoyed.

[Bobby Bones]

But we believe you because you have the taste buds of a superhero. Yeah. The Domino's, I think, was my adult, too. When they did this, like, the square dominoes, and they would cut it all the ways, and you eat the square. That was a plus as an adult. But I think probably because when I lived on Brody Lane in Austin, that there was one right there, and that was just close. So I had it a lot. Yeah, but they were quick, man. They deliver quick. As a kid. Favorite pizza?

[Eddie]

Oh, it was Pizza Hut. I mean, Pizza Hut started in Wichita, so that's all we had, all I knew about for a long time now.

[Bobby Bones]

What is it now?

[Eddie]

I really love Donato's. I don't know if you guys have had.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a place or is it only, like, you buy it at the grocery store?

[Eddie]

No, it's a place. We used to have one, but I think it went out of business here. But it has the best, like, thin crust, good pizza.

[Morgan]

You ain't lying.

[Bobby Bones]

Are we crazy that we love thin crust? Is it because we didn't grow up in a place that took pride in their deep dish? Because anybody I know that, like, grew up in Chicago or even on the Northeast, they're. They're like, man, you guys are like. You're not mature in your pizza palette.

[Lunchbox]

They like that deep dish.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I mean, that's, I guess, what they. They're good at. Does anybody like deep dish? Like, do you pick?

[Lunchbox]

Well, well, still, my favorite is Pizza Hut pan, which is equivalent to a deep dish. It's not quite as thick.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But the pan pizza has got a

[Bobby Bones]

lot of bread, man. Too much bread for me.

[Lunchbox]

I love it, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that as a kid that's your number one?

[Lunchbox]

That was my number one, and it's still my number one. However, as a family now, Pizza Hut's kind of a delicacy, like, as far as you tier the prices of, like, because we had to buy, like, four pizzas for our family. And, like, I'd say Papa John's is probably the more affordable one, and then Domino's, kind of that thing. But if we feel it, we're feeling it. Like, ah, you know what? Let's splurge tonight. We'll do Pizza Hut.

[Amy]

Oh, I didn't realize there was that much of a price difference between.

[Bobby Bones]

Papa John doesn't work Papa John anymore, does he?

[Morgan]

No, he got ousted, so he's.

[Amy]

What did he do?

[Bobby Bones]

I think he said the bad remarks.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Shaq's an owner, right?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He has maybe of of locations. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, franchise. Yeah. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

See what Papa John did? I don't want to put that on him if that's not what he didn't do. Make every day feel epic in the all new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid.

[Morgan]

You know another crazy story I saw about Shaq.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you look that up, Mike? Yeah, go ahead.

[Morgan]

Is that he wanted some security and Ring camera, and he bought it at Best Buy. Like, he just went and bought it, and he was on a trip overseas, and he was able to look at the camera. He's like, this is the most amazing thing ever. And he went to ring, said, hey, I'm gonna endorse your product. Like, you're gonna pay me. Like, he went to them and said, I use it. I bought it at Best Buy, and we are gonna work together. I thought that was pretty freaking crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

You're saying something nice about Shaq. That's like your mortal enemy.

[Lunchbox]

You hate that dude.

[Amy]

I know, but this wasn't him doing something good. That's when he hates him. About him making money, demanding money.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, wait. See? Yeah. He said the N word on the conference call back in 2018.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. What?

[Lunchbox]

Papa.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever see his house? Like, when he took people in his house? It's crazy, because I believe he lives or. It's from Louisville.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it is a. A palace.

[Lunchbox]

And he is the founder of Papa John.

[Bobby Bones]

He is freaking Papa John Papa. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I mean, that's so crazy that you can get ousted from your own company, because I'm pretty sure the guy that started Men's Wearhouse, he's out.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it all depends. Well, it depends if it goes public. Like, you sell because you don't. As soon as you sell. If it. When it goes public, you sell a percentage of support. You're not. You can own a big part of it, but you're not the guy. You don't own majority of it anymore as soon as it goes public.

[Morgan]

I know, but that's crazy to me that you started this baby, worked it all the way up, and then these guys come in like, hey, we're tired of you. We're just gonna take over your company.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, but you have to make the decision to sell. That never happens if you don't sell it. If you don't. If you don't take it public. So there is that. He had to make the decision to allow people to kick him out. Yeah, because that's what a weird feeling

[Morgan]

like to be kicked out of your own business.

[Lunchbox]

But I'm sure the money's still really nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Oh, you think?

[Bobby Bones]

What's he worth? He's got to be a billionaire.

[Amy]

Billion.

[Lunchbox]

I would think so, right?

[Amy]

I'm seeing. Wow, wow, wow. 720 million to over a billion. It's estimated between there.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you see, Mike? I see 400 million. Oh, are you guys asking different AI? Yeah. Forbes has a billion. That was in 2017, though.

[Lunchbox]

That's before the house.

[Bobby Bones]

You got fired in 2018, so maybe it's gone down a little bit or up.

[Amy]

Well, there's stock fluctuations, obviously.

[Bobby Bones]

Obviously.

[Lunchbox]

He know the market.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Amy]

He held a 510 million stake in the company as of or previously held that as of 2018. But it says. I mean, that's quite the gap. The estimated net worth around 720 million to over a billion.

[Lunchbox]

That means they don't know.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody ever knows what anybody is worth. It's all just people doing their best guess. Because even if you're a big movie actor and the amount of money that you've made is public based on the movies, people have no idea how much money you've made through other investments, which if you have a bunch of money and someone guiding you, you're investing in things or that you've lost or that you've spent, that you've bought stuff. You may know how much an athlete has made, but again, you really don't know how much somebody has.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you saying, Lunchbox?

[Morgan]

At his peak, the guy owned $1 billion worth of Papa John stock and he was making $136,000 per day for simply owning equity through dividends and stock related payouts. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a good job.

[Lunchbox]

You know what all that means, Lunchbox? Like the dividends and all those?

[Morgan]

Nah, man. But it sounds good.

[Lunchbox]

Not like Monopoly.

[Bobby Bones]

It's money they pay you even if you have the stock. Let's say it makes certain amount of money. They Then even without you cashing out the stock, you get paid a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

That's dividends.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I hope that was a. Okay description of it.

[Lunchbox]

Sounds nice. I want dividends. It's usually a positive thing, right? Dividends?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

Is there negative dividends, like where they

[Lunchbox]

take money away from you?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think it's all positive. I think dividends means positive, right? That equals positive.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I asked.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if you're getting dividends. I assume it's. Anytime I've ever gotten dividends on anything, it's been positive. So I don't know if there's a negative dividend. I don't even think those words go together, but I'm not an expert in that at all.

[Eddie]

Okay, Morgan, you want to talk about the scientists?

[Lunchbox]

Another one missing.

[Morgan]

Of course.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll do an hour on this.

[Eddie]

Well, there's a. There's a crazy connection. And the reason I'm so invested is because. So the Department of War's chief technology officer had posted a tweet yesterday confirming rumors about an energy weapon that they're now being used. Basically, it's like a lightsaber from Star Wars.

[Lunchbox]

Nice.

[Eddie]

Essentially what this weapon is. And he posted it, confirming it. After years of there being rumors about it, nobody confirmed it. He did. And of course he did it on May 4, which is Star Wars Day, which is wild also. But more than that, why is that?

[Lunchbox]

Because May the fourth be with you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's why it's Star Wars Day.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't know that?

[Lunchbox]

I've heard that, but I didn't know that was Star Wars Day.

[Eddie]

But one of the notable figures who was kind of sounding alarm on the technology is one of the deceased scientists. Her name's Amy Eskridge, and she was really involved in research into anti gravity technology, UFOs, extraterrestrial life. She was hit by one of these weapons pretty quickly before she had died from a self inflicted gunshot wound. So now that connection is being investigated because they've confirmed the technology.

[Bobby Bones]

So whenever we went down into Venezuela and took over that and took their president.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, I thought you were talking about you.

[Morgan]

I was like,

[Amy]

as in America.

[Morgan]

I thought the same thing.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, my bad. Then when we, the Americans, the military went down.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

We used a weapon like that.

[Lunchbox]

Is this a gun or a lightsaber?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's like a gun shoots a laser. It's sure more like a gun. Yes. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but it shoots energy. And they would talk about how they would go down and their nose would be bleeding.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

It disables everybody.

[Eddie]

It kind of looks like a thing you go. When you go to the eye doctor, and it shoots out like a laser beam from it is kind of what it looks like.

[Bobby Bones]

And so that's really how we got in. We disabled all their dudes that were guarding him. And it's an energy weapon. Now you can't really go down to the old gun store here and buy one of those, but there's also something called Havana Syndrome. Have you guys heard about that? So this started happening 2016 in. Why? Because it Happened in Cuba the first time with like our diplomats over there. And it's that it's all of a sudden intense sounds pressures. This is what happened. We went down to Venezuela, which we did down there. Supposedly your head starts to hurt real bad, Big pressure, your nose starts to bleed. And there was an energy attack. And supposedly it's happened a couple different places here in the States recently to our politicians that they can't explain. Yeah. And so yeah, there are these for sure, these energy weapons. It's mostly. Mostly like pulsed radio frequency.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I saw something different, but I saw that firefighters. And when I did my research, I saw Scuba Steve like this story too on Instagram, but like these firefighters are putting out fires by using sound waves. So instead of like a fire extinguisher, it's like a. Did you see that Scuba?

[Morgan]

Yes, I saw. Yeah, it was pretty incredible what they're doing with that.

[Lunchbox]

Like there was a fire and this whatever machine was it just like when it. I haven't seen the fire went out.

[Bobby Bones]

I believe it. That's cool. I still am going to choose extinguisher. If the firefighters are coming, can we go with extinguisher first?

[Lunchbox]

And if all you do with like a bass guitar.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we play and I got a Davida. It limits the. The fire damage, so.

[Amy]

Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

Yeah, the sound like wiggles the fire until it starves a box.

[Bobby Bones]

And this is an AI.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, it was real.

[Amy]

No, it's.

[Lunchbox]

It was a new state.

[Bobby Bones]

This isn't Selena Gomez at the San

[Morgan]

Bernardino County Fire Department has tested the technology and demonstrations involving structure fires.

[Amy]

Showing promise suffocates the fire of oxygen.

[Lunchbox]

And you want to know what's funny? This was gonna be my story like two weeks ago, but then I was like, they're not gonna like this. Yeah, I guess y' all like it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's all in the setup. But the energy weapons are wild.

[Amy]

Morgan might have a Havana syndrome, vertigo, hearing loss, cognitive difficulties.

[Eddie]

Did I get hit with a laser beam?

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know it did. You see, there are different religious leaders claiming that they have been briefed about UFOs, UAPs.

[Lunchbox]

I saw Charlemagne posted something on this.

[Eddie]

Wait, why religious leaders?

[Bobby Bones]

Because first of all, Trump says he's going to declassify a lot of information. It's not going to be all of it. I'm going to back up a half a step and say that the theory is that a lot of different countries have craft of non human origin and they're all trying to reverse engineer it and nobody Knows what each other has. Everybody's kind of scared of what the other country has, right? So let's say we have one, Russia has one. They have no idea we've been able to reverse engineer. We have no idea what they've been able to reverse engineer. So we're both going like, what do they have? So it kind of keeps you scared. You don't know their weapons, so you're scared of using a weapon in case they have a bigger weapon. Am I being descriptive enough? Is that okay?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Am I explaining it in a way that makes sense? So that's been said a while. You can believe it. You cannot believe it. Whatever. Then it's, hey, there's got to be some sort of disclosure coming, which means the full release and you disclose what's been happening that we haven't heard about scientists disappearing. Trump says he's going to declassify some of the files. They've said it's passed on to whomever, if anything's ever declassified. Who knows? When they did the JFK declassification, it kind of sucked. It was very, very little. The Epstein stuff sucked. They blacked out the stuff for the people that really should go to jail. So in the end, will they give up enough to where we go?

[Ray]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

But the word is they've taken in some major religious leaders to tell them what's coming so they can start to reinstruct what they preach to people because it goes against what they've been preaching for their whole life. Being a religious leader going, this is about to happen and what it's going to do, it's going to show you that how you've been preaching it, what your message has been, is not accurate based on what we now know. So we're giving you a heads up to know that there are going to be a lot of questions coming from people that have been followers of yours for a long time. And the way. And what you've been teaching isn't exactly now what we know.

[Eddie]

I mean, and that's like preparing, I assume, for kind of like a societal collapse, if you will, because of people believe in a certain thing and then all of a sudden everything they've believed is. Is that kind of why they would bring them in in that way?

[Bobby Bones]

I think if there was a full disclosure and everybody realized we don't really have control. Sure. I think they're although people, I mean, paraphrases trying to pay their bills right now. Like, it's a really. If they were like, yeah, there's been a friggin alien interdimensional beings was probably what it is. Not from another planet, but from a different away. Something we're not able to see. We'd be like, all right, I still got a mortgage to pay, man. Like, gas is almost five bucks a gallon, right?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

That's what you said. You said people are.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think it'd be crazy, but I think right now there's just so many distractions and so much hardship that, yeah, it'd be wild. But I don't think a simple sharing of, hey, there are these things that we don't understand would actually create societal upheaval.

[Eddie]

Okay. It's just interesting to me because that, like, science and religion typically, you know, they don't join forces, if you will. Typically are on opposite sides of things

[Bobby Bones]

for the most part.

[Amy]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

But, yeah, that's the deal with those.

[Lunchbox]

Have you seen the pictures of Artemis?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The moon?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Just the different pictures they've released.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no. I just saw the guy from the cell phone recording as they were going around.

[Lunchbox]

Now they've released, like, I don't know, 12,000 pictures or whatever, and, like, man, it really is crazy just to look at Earth.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw the astronauts they were talking to in a press conference after. Still in their suits. I like it when they're in their suits. Yeah. It feels way more official during their blue suits. And one of them. I think it was a female astronaut because it was a female, maybe two dudes. And she was like, you know, I really didn't have a feeling about any sort of extraterrestrial or interdimensional life until I did this. And she's like, there's no way we're alone, Dan.

[Lunchbox]

You see those pictures? And it's just us in this big, dark abyss.

[Bobby Bones]

Floating ball. Just a floating ball that we're all.

[Lunchbox]

And you look at it, and you're like, oh, that's. That's pretty, right? Like, it's blue and green or whatever. But then you're like, oh, my gosh, we're on that ball.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And around us is all darkness.

[Bobby Bones]

Floating rock ball. Yeah. It's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

It's pretty crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's crazy. Thank you, Morgan, for the story. Eddie. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So earlier this year, they. There was a coyote in on Alcatraz Island. And they're like, that's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, oh, how'd it get there?

[Lunchbox]

How did a coyote get here? So some scientists got on the island, and they found some poop and sent it to the lab. And, like, let's get some DNA. Initially, they Thought like, oh, the coyote swam from San Francisco, which is probably the closest, about a mile away. But no, turns out that the coyote came from a family that lives on angel island, which is two miles away. And the dog just swam.

[Bobby Bones]

It's around the whole way.

[Lunchbox]

The whole way from two miles.

[Bobby Bones]

Question. Coyote to me, feels more doggy. But is it coyote Cattier.

[Amy]

Coyote was a cat.

[Eddie]

That's a dog, Donk.

[Lunchbox]

You ever seen one?

[Bobby Bones]

I have, but I feel like I was straight. I feel like I've been wrong about. Oh, I guess maybe what is a coyote cat?

[Eddie]

No, they're descendants.

[Lunchbox]

They look just like dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. I would bet. Dog. But I feel like I've been wrong about that. What is it? Part of the dog family. Okay. I'm called a canadae.

[Lunchbox]

It just looks like a dirty dog. You know, a dog that hasn't taken a bath.

[Amy]

Okay, so, yeah, one of those.

[Bobby Bones]

I was wrong about. We talked about it here, and I was like, that's not a dog. And you guys are like, no, it's a cat. Remember that?

[Lunchbox]

Hyena, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Is it the ones that are in the trees that people. They're like, near cities that are. They are cats. They're in trees.

[Amy]

Bobcats, Koalas.

[Eddie]

No, they, like, stalk people.

[Lunchbox]

Sloths.

[Eddie]

No, they're a cat.

[Amy]

What are they called?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they'll stalk them in the trees and they'll follow them. We talked about videos.

[Bobby Bones]

They stalk them or they stalk.

[Amy]

Stalk.

[Eddie]

Like, they follow them.

[Bobby Bones]

So stalk.

[Eddie]

Stalk.

[Amy]

She's saying stalk. Stalk.

[Morgan]

Yeah, she's saying it right, with an L. Stalk.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Eddie]

So you say like, stalk.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, I'm just trying to differentiate stalk and stalk. Those are two different words. Yeah, bobcat.

[Eddie]

No, like, we've seen them in California, and they're in trees, and we've seen videos of them chasing people.

[Morgan]

Bobcats.

[Eddie]

No, he tried that three times.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go with bobcat.

[Amy]

What is it called?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

A puma?

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

Leopard.

[Eddie]

No, they're not a leopard. They're a leopard. Mountain lion.

[Lunchbox]

Mountain lion. But that's a mountain lion.

[Eddie]

That is a cat. But, like, they.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean the word lions in that one.

[Lunchbox]

Mountain lion.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but I was just saying, like, closely simulate. They're like, in our environment. So are coyotes.

[Lunchbox]

Mountain lions, also coyotes. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dog. That dog swam two miles.

[Lunchbox]

Two miles. Which now it's like, all right.

[Ray]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

If the dog could swim two miles, like, did those people back in. Those prisoners. Whatever. There's three Prisoners that, like, they never found. They're like, wonder like, oh, did they make it across? Don't know. But it started reading about this and it says 36 men had attempted to escape Alcatraz. And nearly all of them, except those three were either died in the cold or were caught.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, COD cold. Also, there's a shark threat there. Yeah, not a major one, but there is a shark threat there. The water is really cold. I do think, though, the people could have made it. I mean, I have no idea other than I've been there and just driven by it.

[Amy]

Do you feel like you could make it?

[Lunchbox]

It does look closer than you think.

[Bobby Bones]

If my life was online and I'd been and I'm in good shape, you got to train for that.

[Amy]

I know. I wondered the nourishment at Alcatraz. Like, were they able to work out? Did they eat well? Were they.

[Lunchbox]

You know, they can always go to

[Bobby Bones]

the yard at a baseball field. In the yard. Yeah, still there.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I had a friend who went when we were there and they took a picture of it there and you can go out on it. It's like a little. It's like, it's a beat up field, but it's like, you know, somewhere they could play ball.

[Lunchbox]

What. What swimmer did we interview where he said he swam it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he won a gold medal in the last one.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not an American.

[Amy]

Michael Phelps.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll go with that. It wasn't him, but we'll go with that.

[Morgan]

Dang, that's cool.

[Amy]

Michael Phelps is in beef. He is, yeah. Is it nobody Still. Y' all watched again. He has a little cameo. Acting is kind of meh. But

[Bobby Bones]

we ever met him.

[Lunchbox]

I've never met him.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think I've ever met Michael Phelps either, man. How famous was he for a minute?

[Lunchbox]

So famous.

[Bobby Bones]

Still super famous. And I'm talking about, like, front of everything. Yeah. Those most famous Olympians. Go Carlos.

[Lunchbox]

Mary Lou Retton.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You guys are talking about before Hamilton, like in our life.

[Lunchbox]

Simone Biles. Yeah, she was very famous.

[Eddie]

Ryan Lochte.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Shaun White. Good one.

[Lunchbox]

White.

[Bobby Bones]

Good one, Good one.

[Amy]

Who dated Tiger Ritz.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, no, the skier. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Ellen Norton was married to him.

[Amy]

That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

Sean Johnson.

[Lunchbox]

John Johnson.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's done a lot after, too.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Caitlyn Jenner.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Bruce. Bruce Jenner, though. The Olympians.

[Lunchbox]

The Olympian.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, we know, but he got.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, just a clip. He was famous as Olympian. She was famous as an adult.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But he Was famous too, before he transitioned because he was the dad on the show.

[Lunchbox]

I'd never heard of him until he transitioned.

[Morgan]

What about Greg Louganis?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know. I just know him from hitting his head because that was.

[Lunchbox]

Died of. Had aids.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if he maybe just had aids.

[Bobby Bones]

Not sure, but yeah. Google what you got. Obviously, Usain Bolt. Oh, good one.

[Lunchbox]

Michael Johnson, Remember him?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I do. Only because I don't think Amy would know Michael Johnson, though. I don't think he transcends pop culture. I think if you were just watching the Olympics as a sprinter. He's steroid. Steroid runner.

[Lunchbox]

Carl Lewis.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Lunchbox at him early, but that was before us. I think we mostly just got Carl Lewis because.

[Morgan]

Wait, you didn't watch Carl Lewis?

[Lunchbox]

We're kids.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we were kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy]

No, Mary Lou Retton.

[Morgan]

I remember.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. They said to her.

[Amy]

Oh, do we.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I recall singing the national anthem. Oh, my God. Did you ever see that?

[Morgan]

Yeah. So bad. What about Carrie Strugg?

[Bobby Bones]

Good one.

[Lunchbox]

Don't know that one.

[Bobby Bones]

She was hurt, right?

[Morgan]

Yeah, she's the one that landed the flit on her. One bad ankle and they. Oh, they all came in.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna see if I can find Dominique Muchiano.

[Lunchbox]

Who's the Katie Ledecki?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, good one.

[Morgan]

Missy Franklin. She was a swimmer. She was dominant.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know. Transcends pop culture, though.

[Morgan]

That's true.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

Great Olympian who in the Olympic part gets really famous but, like, after the Olympics, over a month later, like, who do you still talk about?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, I feel like the one for, like, right now is Alyssa Leo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Am I saying that correctly?

[Morgan]

What about Tara Lipinski?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, she's done some stuff too. Like, she's also one of the announcers. Yeah, her and Johnny Weir, who was

[Lunchbox]

the dude that murdered.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, can I play the Carl Lewis Nancy Kerrigan? Good one, because she got Tanya Harding.

[Eddie]

Ah, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's Carl Lewis's national anthem.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh, this is so bad.

[Lunchbox]

Dirty Harry said in one of his

[Morgan]

movies that a man's gotta know his guess.

[Bobby Bones]

It's an ESPN clip from back in the day. Hold on.

[Morgan]

Carl Lewis apparently didn't see the movie, if his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner prior to the Nets Bulls game last night is any indication. As a public service, we present now

[Lunchbox]

only excerpts, ladies and gentlemen, our national anthem.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, are we all ready? Here we are.

[Morgan]

Oh,

[Lunchbox]

Oh, say can you see and the rock is. Oh, no.

[Amy]

Uhoh.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll make up for it now for the land of the free. When you're singing it yourself and you

[Morgan]

go, oh, I'll make up for it now.

[Lunchbox]

That cracked.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh yeah. Who else?

[Morgan]

Any other else? Olympians.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Who's the guy that killed that? The. The Blade Run.

[Morgan]

Oscar Patricias.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think you got it.

[Bobby Bones]

That guy was infamous. He also wasn't an American. I think of South Africa.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But Usain Bolt wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Good point. Great point.

[Lunchbox]

But I was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Great point. I think all the rest except for Usain Bolt.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we mention.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

More airline bankruptcies could be coming. JetBlue and Frontier facing the highest risk.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Frontier is kind of the same. Same spirit. Those are kind of like the two

[Bobby Bones]

that's from view from the wing. More than 780,000 bottles of Afrin nasal spray have been recalled due to the risk of child poisoning.

[Morgan]

Uh oh.

[Bobby Bones]

The crazy part of this story to me is not the headline or the story. It's that it's from AOL.

[Lunchbox]

Oh. AOL.com.

[Bobby Bones]

that's a thing still there. Not even the crazy story. It said it's from aol.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Because I think the spray was just the. Like the child safety thing was messed up.

[Amy]

Oh. Gotcha.

[Bobby Bones]

Recalled after it was discovered the packaging was not child resistant and lacks proper safety labeling. A California man does 12,412 pull ups in 24 hours to set a Guinness record.

[Amy]

Who wants to beat it?

[Lunchbox]

We can't do that.

[Morgan]

Holy crap.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you could do.

[Lunchbox]

I can't do five right now or.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, in 24 hours. A thousand in 24 hours.

[Lunchbox]

No way, dude. One would be hard.

[Bobby Bones]

500 in 24 hours. A third of Americans don't get enough sleep.

[Amy]

That's it. Maybe higher.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. New research from the US Centers of Disease Control found that a third of US adults don't get the recommended seven hours of sleep. Oh, that's fine. It's now seven as the main number. Yeah. Food pyramid not the same either.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

What's gone away or what's been added?

[Bobby Bones]

I think that things are different now. I don't know. It's just not the same. They don't teach that anymore. No food pyramid, no 8 hours now 7. I'm actually getting more sleep than I thought. Just because the numbers down, I realize I'm healthier. Cereal box toys maybe making a comeback.

[Lunchbox]

Nice.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Lunchbox]

They are non existent.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They still have games on the back though. You can play.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a Nostalgia thing. But with Toy Story 5, they're doing it in a lot of cereals. We're putting that's a big deal in my family.

[Lunchbox]

Do you know what's crazy too, is now like we buy bags.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, do they have name brand bags?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they do. You see it? Just to be. That was the poor person cereal that we would get on the very bottom.

[Lunchbox]

Now you can get Lucky Charms bag, Cheerios, Frosted Flakes.

[Amy]

It's less. I mean, I don't know why they don't do that in general. Because it's less.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Box costs less.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe the.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I wonder if you get any plastics in your cereal because it's in

[Amy]

a plastic bag, but it's in a plastic bag inside the cardboard box.

[Lunchbox]

That's true. You get both.

[Bobby Bones]

Or is that like a wax bag?

[Amy]

Okay, we'll make it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I'm asking questions. I think kids want to buy the box more.

[Lunchbox]

It's more appealing because it's got the whole design.

[Amy]

I'd be like, hey, kids, you're not the one paying for it.

[Bobby Bones]

You tell them, Amy, you get the back.

[Amy]

Yeah, I will.

[Bobby Bones]

You tell them, Amy.

[Amy]

I think my kids cereal, it's always like, well, we get this at dad's house. And I'm like, well, you're not at.

[Lunchbox]

What are they. What are they eating at dad's house?

[Amy]

Oh, I mean, like Frosted Flakes.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. Do you think a bit there the other parent does stuff like that even because they know the other parent won't give it to them, so they want to be the favorite in that place.

[Amy]

That's not what's happening here. I don't think so. I mean, I hadn't thought about that. Like, you think that Ben's intentionally buying.

[Bobby Bones]

I purposefully didn't say has been doing it. I'm saying, do you ever think there's a parent who goes, I know the mom's not gonna give them cookie crunch. And I probably wouldn't either, but because I'm for sure she won't, we're gonna do freaking cookie crunch.

[Amy]

Okay. I'm sure there are some people that might do that. I don't think that's what's happening in my case. But that is what I hear often of, like, well, at dad's house, I'm like, well, at dad's house, you also have to go to bed earlier, so you might get the cereal you want, but you stay up later here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, there's a kid in one of my kids sports teams. His parents are divorced and when the dad has them, he comes in with like nerds and like a Slurpee. And then the mom picks him up like, what are you doing with that? And just like throws in the trash every single time.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, I think that's it, everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Good, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything we didn't get to. I think we got it. Everybody got the story in?

[Morgan]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, everybody, I hope you have a wonderful day and we will see you on Thursday. That's tomorrow, right?

[Morgan]

Thursday.

[Amy]

Tomorrow is Thursday, May 7th.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm telling you, man, having a baby mess with your days.

[Lunchbox]

Did you guys do anything for Cinco de Mayo? Yeah. No Cinco de drinko for you guys, did you? No. Nothing?

[Bobby Bones]

No, we never celebrate that.

[Morgan]

I had some guac tacos.

[Lunchbox]

There we go.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a Cinco de May is a white person thing though, right?

[Lunchbox]

It is, man. It's like everyone's like, oh yeah. Mexican Independence Day. It's not. It's not even what it is either.

[Bobby Bones]

September. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Is that when you celebrate?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I don't really celebrate it, but my family does. They do. My mom does. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Amy]

Well, Eddie, your wife is white too.

[Lunchbox]

Fourth of July. She celebrates fourth of July.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice. Nice. We wish her the best.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, but like in Mexico, don't they celebrate George Washington's birthday or something? It's like a big deal over there and it's like not what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I never heard of that. I think Amy just reads it.

[Amy]

Wait, before we go, let's just.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's algorithm is to be fooled. That's all. Her algorithm messed up. That's gonna trick her.

[Amy]

Celebrated in Mexico.

[Lunchbox]

There's no way you're gonna find something.

[Amy]

George Washington's birthday, huh?

[Bobby Bones]

That's her discovering that one's not right.

[Amy]

Hold on, hold on. Is not formally celebrated across Mexico, but a massive month long festival in Laredo, Texas, which is the border.

[Lunchbox]

That's America.

[Bobby Bones]

That's still America.

[Amy]

Has been held.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we're done.

[Amy]

Forever.

[Bobby Bones]

We're done, everybody. Thank you for being here. We will see you tomorrow.

[Morgan]

Bye, everybo.

[Bobby Bones]

People who switch their car insurance to Geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal Experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.
