The Bobby Bones Show Bobby Bones the.
Bobby Bones
Story I read said men on average overestimate their ability to fight by 400%. So most guys think that in a situation, not that they would win, but they would be way better than they actually really are to the guys in the room. Thoughts?
Eddie
I think it's impossible to be 400%. Like you said, it can only be 100%, right?
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. It, it, it is possible. Let's say you have a. And you get, you make $4 extra. So $5 total. That's a 400% increase.
Eddie
Okay, well then.
Bobby Bones
But you can't give any more than full capacity. But you can make.
Eddie
Yeah, got it. Okay. I don't know if we overestimate. I mean, you would jump in in a fight and you think you could hold your own. You have no idea what's going to happen. But I mean, when you see something going down, you got to be willing to stick your nose in there.
Bobby Bones
You.
Lunchbox
I think I'm probably 100%. Like, I don't think I'm 400. I don't think I'm a great fighter. I've never been in a fight my whole life. I punched one kid in elementary school and he cried.
Bobby Bones
I think I underestimate how good of a fighter I would be.
Lunchbox
Okay, whatever. You think you'd be a good fighter?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I think I'd cheat. I think I do. I do all kinds of stuff. I fight to fight yeah, I'd be stabbing, grabbing, biting balls. I'd be doing everything. I'm in good shape. And also fight. If you're actually going to fight, it's a. So let's say this. We'll say, like, mma, right? So there are actually rules. So you can't bite balls.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
So an MMA fight. And the thing about an MMA fight, too, is you got to be in shape, because after one minute, you're dead. That's why those guys are so in shape. So we'll do that here in this hat. I'm going to. I'm going to move to the other mic.
Lunchbox
We're going to fight.
Bobby Bones
We're going to fight right now.
Lunchbox
Love it.
Bobby Bones
I have a whiteboard, and I'm going to draw up a fight tournament. And the girls get to pick who wins the fight tournament.
Lunchbox
Oh, my goodness. Girls, be honest.
Eddie
Please be honest.
Bobby Bones
So Abby, Amy, and Morgan will draw well after we draw the tournament. Because there's six of us here.
Eddie
It's kind of a biased jury.
Bobby Bones
It's not. Stop. You're making the jury biased by you talking about.
Eddie
I'm rude to some of these people on the jury.
Lunchbox
True.
Eddie
So, I mean, I'm just saying, like.
Bobby Bones
But.
Eddie
And we were going to. We would take this outside of this room, you know, sort of like they move a trial outside of a city.
Bobby Bones
So you want to change a venue.
Eddie
Yes, that's what it's called.
Bobby Bones
People who don't know us.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so there are six dudes here. We're going to draw randomly. These will be the. The matchups, like the NCAA tournament. So the first person is going to be Lunchbox. Boom.
Eddie
Dang. That's how you start off a tournament.
Lunchbox
Come on, let me fight him.
Bobby Bones
So fighting Lunchbox in the first round will be.
Lunchbox
Come on, I want to fight him.
Bobby Bones
So of all these sheets of paper, Eddie.
Lunchbox
Yes. Okay. That's the fight of the century.
Bobby Bones
So those two are gonna fight. First round in the second bracket of the tournament is going to be. Oh, man. Crap.
Lunchbox
Me.
Bobby Bones
And I will be fighting Scuba.
Eddie
Ray got a walk over.
Bobby Bones
I pound Scuba. He doesn't hit on the fitness. I can't hear Scuba either, by the way. I don't. Headphones on.
Lunchbox
But like, ufc, dude takes one punch, getting a buy.
Bobby Bones
Raymundo gets a buy over Lunchbox. And Eddie. Yeah, I heard him yell from that wall. So he'll fight that person, and then this person is going to be Mike D. Who gets a buy. Okay. Oh, the first match, I thought Ray.
Eddie
Would fight Mike D. That's Why? I said he gets a walkover.
Bobby Bones
No. So the first match is going to be Lunchbox versus Eddie.
Lunchbox
Now, gosh, I wish this was real.
Bobby Bones
We can make it happen. Like, if you guys wanted MMA, I would give the winner $1,000.
Lunchbox
Really? Hey, you want an MMA lunch?
Bobby Bones
But it's.
Lunchbox
I'll fight you, punk.
Bobby Bones
If it's a real. Like, if it's a real MMA fight, I would get. Yeah, I would do that. But let's do this first here. Let's go to Abby and Morgan and Amy. I think about this. There are things to factor in. Toughness. This is mma. So cardio, strength, all that's a factor. Any training they've done.
Eddie
Remember I used to do the videos?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Lunchbox did Taibo or whatever he did.
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Eddie
I did UFC videos in my backyard.
Bobby Bones
Any of that. So who do you have winning the first round?
Amy
So it's the first round.
Bobby Bones
First round's Lunchbox versus Eddie.
Amy
This Iron Dynamo.
Lunchbox
It's not that hard, guys. Come on.
Amy
It's kind of hard. No, it's not scrappy.
Bobby Bones
So maybe certain members of. Certain members of the show can't move their arms fully.
Amy
Lunchbox is limited.
Lunchbox
Yeah. So there he goes.
Morgan
Yes, but Lunchbox also has a crap ton of cardio mobility.
Bobby Bones
Also. True.
Amy
That's true.
Lunchbox
Takes one punch, guys.
Amy
And maybe he.
Bobby Bones
But that almost never happens where it's just a one puncher. That almost never.
Amy
I also feel like Eddie's ticklish.
Lunchbox
He's gonna tickle me.
Eddie
I'm not gonna tickle him, Amy. I promise that.
Bobby Bones
I would also say that Eddie is stronger than you think, because he's been working out for a couple years. His cardio is probably better than you think, but it's not probably to Lunchbox's level, but I think he's probably stronger. But it's. What are you. I'm just presenting for both sides here.
Morgan
And I'm also looking because Lunchbox, if there's money on the line, he's gonna do anything. He's gonna do whatever it takes to make money.
Lunchbox
Okay, whatever.
Morgan
No, that matters. That drive, the grit matters.
Bobby Bones
You think he has grit when it comes to money?
Morgan
Yes. If he's fighting for money. If it's $5, he would fight for that.
Lunchbox
You guys are delusional.
Bobby Bones
Want it and actually do the work for it are two different things.
Eddie
I ran a marathon without training because I wasn't gonna give up. I mean, if you want to talk.
Bobby Bones
About grit, but it's 15 years ago, and.
Lunchbox
Did you run with your fists? Did you?
Bobby Bones
Okay, Abby, I need your votes.
Amy
I think Eddie, he has more mass, so it'd be like more of a. More behind his punch one.
Bobby Bones
Amy, you know what you guys should do is you should have to write it down. So you don't. So you don't, like, leave somebody. Because Amy could easily pick Lunchbox and put the weight on Morgan.
Lunchbox
Good call.
Amy
Okay, so are we redoing this?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Or Amy can be honest.
Bobby Bones
I wrote mine down.
Morgan
I wrote mine down.
Bobby Bones
Just be honest.
Amy
Well, I am being honest. This is hard.
Lunchbox
Look at this.
Amy
Eddie's flexing. Stop. Probably Eddie Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Who'd you write down?
Morgan
I had wrote down, I guess the underdog Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow. So moving on, is Eddie the Sexy Mexi? I think Lunchbox and Carlos boxed once in the yard and Carlos won.
Lunchbox
That's right.
Bobby Bones
We did that.
Lunchbox
I was there. I remember that. I was the ref.
Bobby Bones
It was terrible because we didn't have a ring. We just put cones up. And cones don't make people stay in the middle of each other in the yard.
Eddie
Do you remember when it started?
Bobby Bones
We were so stupid.
Lunchbox
They were just, like. Just doing that, you know, like, they look like kittens.
Bobby Bones
We were so stupid. Okay, so now I.
Morgan
Now I want you guys to do this.
Bobby Bones
And so, Ray, you gotta buy. So you'll be coming up in a second. Okay? Let's go. Bobby. Scuba. Abby. Oh. Write your answers down. Write your answers down. Cute.
Lunchbox
This is so good.
Bobby Bones
Remember, MMA ring.
Lunchbox
The octagon hard.
Amy
Okay, I'm in.
Morgan
Yeah. This is tough.
Bobby Bones
I mean, it ain't that tough, guys.
Morgan
I know Bobby has boxing skills and ain't that tough. I also know Scuba is scrappy.
Bobby Bones
Scrappy means nothing.
Amy
Scuba like this. Like, fire in his eyes.
Bobby Bones
Mma, if you don't. If you can't last a round and a half, you better make it a.
Eddie
Round and a half.
Lunchbox
I don't feel anything. So.
Bobby Bones
I mean, we're not talking about emotions, bro. We're talking about.
Lunchbox
And pain as well. Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Let me know when you guys are in.
Morgan
I'm in.
Amy
I'm in. Abby, just because Scuba scares me sometimes, that I think he would win, like.
Bobby Bones
If he gets it.
Amy
Yeah, like, when you get intense, you get intense.
Lunchbox
Dang, Scuba.
Bobby Bones
Amy, what'd you write down?
Amy
Bobby Morgan, I have you.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I kill Scuba. It'd be over in five seconds. He just had the cardio. If he trained for three months, he'd have the cardio. I'd like a new veggie. And I'd be scared. Oh, I'd kill. I think everyone's afraid to say what.
Lunchbox
They want to say.
Bobby Bones
I kill him.
Lunchbox
I said we should really do that fight, too.
Bobby Bones
Two guys with no dads murder each other. That's where he goes. That's the promo.
Eddie
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Dadless 20, 25. The bout of the.
Amy
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
Maybe we, like, fight for a dad. Oh, that's good. Fight. Okay. Raymundo and Eddie are here in the next round.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. Now the weight class is so different on this, though.
Eddie
Is it really, though?
Bobby Bones
There's.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
How much do you weigh?
Bobby Bones
I think you guys probably weigh around the same.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. 185, 170.
Morgan
Oh, £15 is a lot.
Bobby Bones
You're gonna have to drop down, Eddie. You gotta cut hard, bro.
Eddie
You gotta cut hard.
Bobby Bones
Do you have the re.
Lunchbox
Eddie has a way bigger reach.
Bobby Bones
Ray has a bit of a wrestling background, but again, wrestling background's huge.
Eddie
Eddie doesn't know how to defend the tape.
Lunchbox
Oh, I can do a guillotine.
Eddie
But you don't know how to defend the takedown.
Bobby Bones
It's almost, though, like, saying, I played baseball in high school. It doesn't really count. Nothing in high school really counts anymore now that we're adult men. So it's like I ran a marathon without. Fifteen years ago, I played baseball. I played baseball and football in high school.
Eddie
I said I didn't have grit, so I was pointing out that I do have grit.
Lunchbox
You're done, dude. You already lost your home.
Eddie
That's fine.
Bobby Bones
He's asked for another match. He wants a rematch.
Morgan
That 15 pounds really matters.
Lunchbox
That's right.
Morgan
It really does.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Morgan
Like, honestly, if you guys are the same, like, Raymondo. No shot, but that. That £15 does matter.
Lunchbox
It's like fat versus muscle, though.
Morgan
It doesn't matter.
Bobby Bones
Like, I'm telling you the weight. Which one? Which one's fat? Which one's muscle? I don't know. You guys figure that out.
Lunchbox
You said it, bro.
Eddie
You.
Bobby Bones
We're dead.
Lunchbox
We're fat.
Bobby Bones
All right. Dang. Eddie's taking yeah, man. Shots about fat today. But you asked for it, though.
Lunchbox
To be fair, I did ask the question.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, let me know when you guys are in.
Amy
And.
Lunchbox
This is me and Ray. This is the fight.
Bobby Bones
Second round matchup. Dang.
Morgan
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
Final four. Abby in.
Amy
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
Abby.
Amy
That was hard. I'm gonna say, Ray, I think you would, like, surprise us.
Lunchbox
Does he scare you?
Bobby Bones
Abby's picking people in her room because she knows I'm not.
Amy
I really think he like Amy Ray.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Morgan.
Morgan
Yeah, I went. Ray I think he's.
Bobby Bones
Morgan was building you up only to cut your legs out.
Lunchbox
15 pounds.
Morgan
It does. It does matter. But Ray's got a lot going for him there.
Lunchbox
What does that mean?
Morgan
He's wrestling background. He works out all the time.
Bobby Bones
Ray, how many times you work out a week? Three, max. Still?
Lunchbox
You guys want to revote?
Bobby Bones
You still work out three times? Be honest. Yeah, I'm pushing 250 on the bench. I don't know if Eddie even benches.
Lunchbox
I do, but not 250.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I get to have 250 a couple of times. You can, yeah. But I'm saying, do you still get to the gym even though you live way out in the country? Yeah, it's right here. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox
You live downtown, bro.
Bobby Bones
Ray goes home immediately. He doesn't go to the. I see. No, I go in the morning. Before. Yeah.
Eddie
He gets here at midnight and then goes. Yeah, that's when he goes to the gym.
Amy
Which gym?
Eddie
Right here.
Lunchbox
Right next door.
Bobby Bones
What's it called?
Eddie
Anytime onto him or whatever.
Bobby Bones
See, I don't know. I don't know if I believe.
Eddie
Right there on the front of your 65.
Amy
No, I know. I didn't know. He went there.
Bobby Bones
Like, you're a member at Quantum.
Amy
Yeah, my friend just started. My friend just started working there. I'm going to be like, have you ever seen Ray?
Bobby Bones
But he only goes at midnight, apparently, right?
Amy
Are they open at midnight?
Morgan
Yeah, every 24 hours.
Amy
Texting, my friend.
Lunchbox
All right, so Ray was unanimous decision.
Bobby Bones
Dang, Bobby, Mike.
Eddie
I mean, just write it down. We don't need to vote. You don't even need to vote.
Lunchbox
Hey, can we vote since we lost?
Bobby Bones
That's funny, you guys.
Eddie
That's not even close.
Bobby Bones
What? Yeah.
Morgan
Hey, Mike D has some cardio, though.
Bobby Bones
Mike D can.
Morgan
Works out a lot.
Bobby Bones
Mike D can run miles around. Anybody on the show.
Lunchbox
You're in a cage, man. You can't run very far.
Morgan
What's your guys's weight classes? Can I.
Eddie
It doesn't matter.
Bobby Bones
It does matter, Morgan.
Eddie
You're just being nice to Mike D. I mean, Bobby, Mike D is not a fighter at all.
Amy
Yeah, he's.
Bobby Bones
He's a lover.
Amy
He's.
Bobby Bones
Abby.
Amy
Yeah, I was gonna say that. He's a lover.
Bobby Bones
Are you a fighter, though?
Eddie
I haven't been in a fight in a while, but I'm saying I have more fight than Mike like. I'm saying Mike D. Like, it's just not.
Bobby Bones
I think Mikey would take you. I want to beat him up just for saying. Yeah, I think You. I think. I think you would beat Lunchbox up. You see one side of me and think that I don't have a fight. I go boxing here and I get out all my rage. Yeah, I think Mike would take a lunchbox.
Eddie
That's fine. You can do that all you want.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
Everybody wants to fight Lunchbox.
Eddie
Yeah, everybody can beat me. I mean, heck, a mouse can beat me.
Bobby Bones
I do think. I think Morgan can beat him.
Eddie
I understand you think that.
Bobby Bones
Remember, he wouldn't fight her. He would. Okay, so we have the finals here, Ray. Who wins? Other girls are voting. No. I'm asking you, though, who wins, me or you? Well, you have one shot at me, and once that one shot, I mean, I'm gonna be wrapped right around you. What's the one shot? One punch.
Lunchbox
When he gets to you.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm not. One punch strong. Well, then you're done, because there. You can't get away from me. I'm just gonna. I'm gonna grab you, and it's just like a boa constrictor. So you're gonna. You're gonna grapple me down? Yeah, this. I'll do it right now. I'll do it in five seconds. I'll show you how easy it is. But I'm not gonna punch you. I know, but I'm just gonna show you how quick it happens.
Lunchbox
Ray, would you wrap your legs around him?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. It'd be a lot of that. Do it.
Lunchbox
Cool.
Bobby Bones
I mean, you guys see the UFC stuff? The wrestlers immediately turn it into a wrestling match, unless. Unless the standup guys don't let them get to. To their legs.
Lunchbox
Can you defend that?
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, of course.
Amy
Do it.
Bobby Bones
You got a sprawl. I think Ray and I would be a good fight.
Lunchbox
This is for the belt, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's for the belt. This is for the belt. I think that'd be a good one, girls.
Morgan
Amy, I haven't put mine in.
Amy
I have.
Bobby Bones
I think I also have high. Like, I have a big reach over Ray. Ray is the only one, though, that I feel like would. I'd have to, like, really focus.
Amy
The only one?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Maybe Mike a little bit, but other than. Mostly Ray.
Lunchbox
Scuba's scary, though, man.
Eddie
You just heard Abby.
Bobby Bones
Scuba's got about six seconds, and he's dead.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
He's. Yeah.
Lunchbox
My cardios.
Bobby Bones
If he got his cardio up, it'd be different. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's part of it.
Lunchbox
Is this hard for you girls?
Morgan
This one's hard for me. I don't. I. I feel like they're pretty evenly matched. Morgan, I don't have my answer yet. I don't know. I. I really, like, feel like this would be a good. You guys would go several rounds together.
Amy
Let's go live.
Morgan
That's what I'm saying.
Lunchbox
We need those YouTube numbers.
Eddie
We do.
Morgan
We need subscribers.
Bobby Bones
And that's why I think that Eddie Lunchbox fight would do wonders.
Lunchbox
Or Mike. Now Mike's in too. We can attack team.
Bobby Bones
I think Mike would kill him. I think you and him would be a good fight. You and Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Me and Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I'm down.
Bobby Bones
I think Mike would kill him. I think Morgan would kill him.
Lunchbox
You don't think I could kill him?
Bobby Bones
No, I think you beat him. I don't think you kill him.
Lunchbox
Oh, dude.
Eddie
So Mike D would kill Eddie?
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, Probably. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Silent Mike.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's not even Silent Mike D.
Lunchbox
You guys, the assassin.
Bobby Bones
Let him take his shirt off. He's ripped.
Lunchbox
No, no, we're good.
Bobby Bones
We're good.
Lunchbox
Unless Mike wants to take a shirt. I'm good.
Bobby Bones
Amy, Bobby, Morgan.
Morgan
Sticking with my underdog choices. I'm gonna go Ray.
Bobby Bones
I don't think Ray's the underdog, though. I think we're about even.
Morgan
You guys are, but he's a little bit more on the underdog side.
Bobby Bones
Like, short. Are you just saying short?
Morgan
No, like, actual underdog.
Lunchbox
Yeah, the stats are probably underdoggish.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Abby.
Amy
Like, I think Bobby would get him if it was just punching, but if Ray's gonna do all these fancy little, like, constricting things, I think it would be right.
Bobby Bones
What's a constricting thing?
Amy
Like how he's gon come and, like.
Lunchbox
Wrap his legs around.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And, like, pin you down and squeeze and so you can't, like, get out from it.
Bobby Bones
And then Abby went straight glass room in her bets. And I respect it. I respect it. Ray, you're the champion. Yeah. And I would be down to do a live stream or whatever you guys said, a feed a YouTube with you and Bobby.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we would have to.
Bobby Bones
I would just need to. I would need too much. I need a whole bunch of money to do that. Otherwise, why would I do that? I do that crap. I would provide the money for other. But yeah, I would need a whole bunch of money because I think Ray would give me problems. For sure. Do I think I could beat him? Yes. But would he be the only one I feel like give me problems? Yeah, for sure. But I would provide. If anybody here. I'll offer a thousand bucks. Lunchbox v. Eddie Thousand Dollars to the winner.
Lunchbox
Oh, to the winner.
Bobby Bones
Not.
Lunchbox
Do we get, like, 500 for just fighting now, that's what they do in UFC.
Amy
Like a participation.
Bobby Bones
No winner only. And I do payment. I do a thousand Lunchbox vers. And Mike, too. So you just let me know.
Lunchbox
Let me think about it.
Morgan
What about Scuba vs. Ray?
Bobby Bones
I don't really care about that. They're both, like. I like both of them. They're both. Now, I don't want to talk garbage, really. You know, I think Scuba could murder me three times out of ten. I don't think. I just wipe the floor with him every time because Scuba's strong. He just doesn't have the cardio. But I think it. The funny one would be because Lunchbox is heavy disrespect on Mike. Heavy. I was like, just move on to the next. And then Eddie and Lunchbox have some sort of weird, like, sexual tension that I don't even know what. I don't even know why, but it's just, like, sexual. I have a feeling you guys would start, like, fighting, and you're just banging, like, right in the middle of the room.
Eddie
That would be weird.
Lunchbox
I know, but that would be real.
Bobby Bones
Like, I think that flips at some point, and that's.
Lunchbox
That alone isn't worth a thousand.
Bobby Bones
No, that is. That's for sure worth a thousand dollars. Okay, I'm gonna turn this mic off. Congrats, champ. All right, there you go.
Lunchbox
That ended weird.
Bobby Bones
Okay, let's see. Let me mark that off here. Americans think they'll need $1.26 million to retire comfortably.
Lunchbox
Oh, gosh.
Morgan
Did you end it?
Bobby Bones
No, you don't end it.
Lunchbox
No, I'm not.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we're still. We'll roll for a few more minutes. I would clip that whole segment and run. Put that as its own segment, too. That's funny. Americans think they'll need 1.26 million to retire comfortably. The magic number is $1.26 million, according to Northwest Mutual's 2025 Planning and Progress Study. This is from Northwestern Mutual. I guess I've never had the thought of, how much do I need to retire? Because I never think I'm going to retire, and I never feel like I want to retire. That's probably not the mindset to have, but this. I never think about retiring seriously. Like, I serious. I seriously never. I never think seriously about retirement, is what I should say.
Amy
What do you think of your life, like, when you're 80?
Lunchbox
I don't, but it's not even that. Like, when you're playing golf. Like you don't think, like, I could do this every day.
Bobby Bones
I think I could do it every day, but I still want to work. But I enjoy work and I've. And I enjoy building things. Like I enjoy creating, building. Either you do Legos during retirement?
Amy
I mean, they say like when you retire, I guess for some people, like Eddie, his quality of life goes up. But some people die, they. It goes down.
Lunchbox
That's because their identity is built into their job for sure.
Amy
My is built into. Just relaxing, just chilling.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, your identity is chill. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess I've never really thought about what number. How much do you. If you had right now in cash, but again, you're a little younger than retirement age.
Lunchbox
And then I have all my kids and everything. Because they're expensive.
Eddie
Yeah, that's. You can't just get rid of them.
Bobby Bones
I think all our factors. How much would you need in your account right this second to just go like, you know what? I think I'm good.
Lunchbox
I would say 5 million.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
Because yeah, the kids are so expensive, dude. And then they're gonna go to college and we need money for all that. And then once all that's paid for kids, then I can. It goes to me and my wife.
Bobby Bones
You make quite a bit of interest on that 5 million sitting there. Like you wouldn't have to work. It would do some work for you.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. I would talk to a money guy for sure.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox. How much do you need right now?
Eddie
5 million was popped into my head when Eddie said I was like, you nailed it, dude. It's $5 million. But at the same time, maybe I need less than $5 million because I don't need to pay for my kids college. My parents didn't pay for my college, so why would I pay for my kids? Like, they can do the loan.
Amy
He loves doing exactly what his parents.
Lunchbox
Oh, he does. That's how he lives his life.
Eddie
Well, no, no, but why would I. Why do I need to pay for their college?
Amy
Like, you know, if you don't, you're right, you don't.
Eddie
They can work their way through college and earn their way through college like I had to do. Or they don't have to go to college. That's their decision. They can get a scholarship.
Amy
Did your wife's parents pay for her college?
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Okay, so then what if she's like, well, I don't know how I was raised.
Eddie
That'd be tough.
Bobby Bones
But do you not want to give them the option of you Helping them with college, since yours wasn't. I think that's the difference in me is nothing was paid for for me. But I would like to be able to offer that to my kids because I didn't have it.
Eddie
I think I struggle with that because I don't want to just hand them things.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
Like I don't want to hand them a college, you know, education.
Bobby Bones
Because I think there's a difference in handing someone an education because then they.
Amy
Take it for granted. Because Lunchbox paid for his own. But he didn't get his degree.
Lunchbox
No, he didn't finish.
Bobby Bones
I think, I think if someone.
Eddie
But I made it all the way.
Bobby Bones
To education is different than, you know, buying them actual material things, right? Yeah.
Eddie
Because like I made it to the end. Like my parents thought I was going to be out in a semester. They. They didn't think I would last in college. They had no chance. And I did. So I, I earned it and I paid for it. Like I, I'm the one that paid for it. They didn't pay for it. So it's like, I don't even know why I sweat off their back.
Lunchbox
But did you. How did you pay for it?
Eddie
Like grants. The Pell Grant. I got a scholarship and then loans.
Lunchbox
But didn't you have debt and then it like wiped away.
Bobby Bones
What was the scholarship?
Eddie
Austin Livestock and Rodeo.
Bobby Bones
And how much was that?
Eddie
It was like fifteen hundred dollars for the first year. And then I didn't know this at the time, but if I would have maintained a 3.3 or something, I don't know what it was, but it wasn't.
Bobby Bones
An every year scholarship, first year.
Eddie
If I would have maintained a certain. At the end they're like, did you maintain this level of gpa? They will re up your scholarship. I'm like, why not tell me that beforehand?
Bobby Bones
Don't you assume it was somewhere. You just didn't see it much like other things that you've probably.
Eddie
Yeah, but I mean I should have wrote in a letter then said, hey.
Bobby Bones
Should have what?
Eddie
Wrote in a letter. Hey, Jasco contract. Anyway, you want to just still re up that you should have what? Wrote in a letter.
Bobby Bones
Written a letter.
Eddie
Oh, same difference.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Don't you think that was all that effort and loans and we can go. You should have finished and got your degree like you did all that yet?
Eddie
No, I proved that I, I belonged, that I was among the academia. I was, I was among the university. I was able to last in college. I was smart enough to do it. So I'm good. Like it doesn't matter. That I didn't have that one class doesn't mean. Oh, you know what? You didn't do a good job in college. No, I crushed it.
Bobby Bones
I would say. It's not one class. It's just you did all that work. It's like running a marathon in the last mile. You're like, I'm good. I feel like I can do it. I would feel unfulfilled at that. Because it wouldn't be about one class or one mile. It'd be about, dang, I did all this. I took out these loans. I did the Pell Grant, I did. And yet I didn't finish because of one class.
Eddie
Yeah, but I'm not unfulfilled. Like, my fulfillment was proving my parents, like, look, I can do college. Like, come on, man, I'm smart.
Amy
You are smart.
Eddie
And I did it. Thank you. I know that.
Bobby Bones
You could have wrote them on that in a letter.
Amy
So back to his retirement. He's gonna so not pay for his kids college. So, fine. So how much you need? 5 million.
Bobby Bones
What was your GPA in school? In college?
Eddie
I don't know.
Amy
Well, not a three. Three.
Eddie
Well, not the first year or whatever. It wasn't a three. Whatever.
Bobby Bones
I needed GPA in college didn't matter. Unless you had to keep it for some reason. Like, I had to keep one to live in the honors dorm, so. But I don't think GPA matters as much. It's just kind of like, get out alive. Yeah, but I wondered if you remember your gpa.
Eddie
No idea. I just knew D's were for diplomas. That's what I.
Bobby Bones
But you didn't get a diploma.
Eddie
Right, but that's what I used to tell the incoming freshmen.
Bobby Bones
Like, hey, you know, you would tell incoming freshmen that. That. That was your advice to them.
Eddie
Yeah, because I was an orientation leader. So I would walk them around the school, I'd take them through everything they need to know about the university.
Bobby Bones
And your advice was, these are. These are for diplomas.
Eddie
I was like, you know, Ds are for diplomas, man.
Lunchbox
Like, did you get paid for that orientation?
Eddie
Yeah, absolutely. It's a job, man.
Bobby Bones
You think the school heard you're saying that? Like, these are for diplomas? Do you think they ever heard you saying that?
Eddie
Who knows?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't know, but that's all. Yeah.
Lunchbox
That's interesting, though. 5 million. Like Amy's saying, 5 million is a lot for not paying college. Yeah.
Eddie
So I may not need 5 million the more I think about it, but yeah, like two and a half million.
Amy
Y'all want to, like, live. I bet y'all are still going to want to go on these trips and go to Vegas and gamble and play the lottery and golf.
Bobby Bones
Like, not necessarily.
Lunchbox
Ah, as long as I'm not working, I don't care.
Amy
Use your.
Bobby Bones
So you'll do less fun stuff if you have to do less stuff that's not fun.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because every day is fun. So now you don't look at Vegas as, like, fun? Every day is fun just because you.
Bobby Bones
Don'T have to go to work.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Bobby Bones
But what are you doing that's fun?
Lunchbox
Whatever I want.
Bobby Bones
But you don't get to do whatever you want.
Lunchbox
You do, though.
Bobby Bones
You.
Lunchbox
You want to go walk at the park? Go walk at the park.
Amy
Okay, well, that's free.
Bobby Bones
You do that now.
Lunchbox
You know what I mean? You want to go fishing? Hey, it's free, man. You can't get.
Bobby Bones
Just.
Lunchbox
All you need is worms. Fake worms.
Amy
That's true.
Bobby Bones
You're not. It's not free. You're gonna. You're unreal if you get stuck.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you got to pay for the. Whatever. Tackle the line, Ray.

Amy
How big is this?
Lunchbox
It must have been a little one.
Bobby Bones
So that's something that's probably always Bothering you Always, always, always, like a little bothersome, A little bothersome. You just like, something's wrong with me. Eventually it's just like, yeah, my ear canals probably wore something. But he was slowly going deaf, but very slowly. And his name is Darren and he had been to the doctor and it was about hearing. So he goes to the doctor and they're like, well, let's give you some antibiotics because it's an infection most likely. And we'll give the antibiotics to you to kind of stop the infection. Hopefully your hearing will not continue to degenerate, which is what was happening. He woke up in the middle of the night, was feeling a pressure in his head. And then he felt something like dislocked, like come out. And he thought it was his ear drum. He thought his eardrum had ruptured because it was building and it was hurting him. And then it was this. And so in his hand, it's that little one that's the real skinny one, the small square one that goes on like a top lid.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And it was covered in wax as a freaking Lego.
Lunchbox
I bet it didn't even look like a Lego.
Bobby Bones
The ball. So it's. It's that one of those top ones. I guess they cleaned it in the picture because I can't imagine that like. Cuz. Pink, right? My pink? Yeah, it's pink. Yeah. So they probably cleaned that before they put it up there.
Eddie
And they don't use that little thing to look in his ear to.
Bobby Bones
I'm assuming it wasn't in where you could see in the year. It probably was deeper than that because that thing only has. It has limited range when a doctor goes in with it. It had to be probably like underneath. Yeah, that sucks. Millions in merchandise were taken after these burglars go and they rob and then they make a tunnel through concrete underneath the jewelry store.
Lunchbox
It was amazing. So they broke into the store next to the jewelry store and went up and that's how they got to the jewelry. Because if you look at the jewelry store straight on, you're like, I can't get in there. There's bars everywhere.
Bobby Bones
It was very cartel, like, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah, like heist.
Eddie
That's really cool.
Bobby Bones
And they dug it and they went down into the other. Because again, you're thinking if you have a jewelry store, like Eddie said, you got bars up everywhere.
Lunchbox
You're like, I can't go through the.
Bobby Bones
Front or no one's gonna get in this place. We got alarms, we got bars. You're not looking at the ground going Somebody's gonna come from below. But burglars pulled off a sophisticated heist at Love Jewels, a jewelry store in downtown Los Angeles by tunneling through multiple layers of concrete from an adjacent property. The Hollywood Worthy break in occurred at 9:30am on Sunday and went undetected until employees arrived Monday morning. Because again, there are no alarms for the ground. Any window, any glass break, any door, all alarmed. Something coming from under the ground. No alarm.
Amy
Yeah, that's crazy.
Lunchbox
Surprised they didn't have like a motion alarm, like, you know.
Amy
I know. I was thinking like the lasers, you know, and they have to like, you know, bend their body, be an acrobat.
Bobby Bones
The security camera feeds were cut. The suspect stole at least $10 million worth of merchandise, including watches, pendants, and gold chains. The owner estimates the losses could be closer to 20 million. The burglar is broke into two large safes where all the inventory was stored. And how you getting into a safe? Because, like, real good saves on things. I don't know. I never like, try to crack safe, but when you watch movies, seems pretty difficult, almost impossible even, Even Clooney can't do it sometimes.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
And he can crack any safe. That's from the ap.
Eddie
So how did they. Like, so the business next door obviously had to be closed too. So they spent all weekend drilling. And that's so smart.
Bobby Bones
Unless they were. Unless they had part of the business. But the building looks next door looks like it's just an old building that nobody's in. It looks like shut down. Yeah, it looks like a shut down business. So they had to be able to be in it. Either own the business, know the owner, or like this one, it was dead.
Eddie
That's so smart. That's a cool crime.
Lunchbox
No, that's terrible for like the owners, right?
Eddie
No, they have insurance.
Bobby Bones
So you're assuming they have insurance that pays for $20 million. I don't know what kind of policy they have. And all insurance doesn't pay for all things.
Eddie
Yeah, it's just one of those crimes where I, I'm like, no one was hurt. No one was like held at gunpoint. So it's kind of cool. So you kind of hope, oh, man, I hope they get away with it.
Lunchbox
So if they did that to your house, you'd be like, hey, you know what? No one got hurt.
Bobby Bones
And it's a small business and who knows what the deductible is because they're always, maybe it's $10,000 to get up to a million dollars. I mean, they could have lost seven figures in money because of the crime. So I would disagree. It's a crime that nobody got hurt physically. Nobody got hurt. But if that's a small business, which it looks like it is, it looks like they probably are out.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I wouldn't call that cool.
Eddie
But you don't ever look at a crime, like, man, that's really cool how they did that.
Bobby Bones
And, like, oh, I can appreciate the strategy of a robbery if it works, but I'm not. I mean, that was really cool. They did that.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I can appreciate the work that goes into it, the planning there. That. Yeah. How rich? Sure. But, yeah, no, no. I'm never like, oh, good. Good for them. Yeah. I mean, even Robin Hood, like, want to punch him in the face sometimes, like.
Lunchbox
But he stole from the rich and.
Bobby Bones
Gave to the poor. I hear you. And I think there's a better way. I don't like the stealing because some of those rich people probably didn't have money handed to them. They probably earned it themselves.
Amy
Is this now personal?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And then maybe you could have just explained to them, hey, these people right here need your help. And they could have. Instead of just going to steal from them. Now people have that money given to them by their dads. I don't care. Still. All of it.
Lunchbox
Stupid question.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, go ahead. Not real, Eddie. He's not real.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I knew that was your question. Not a historical figure. Fictional.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Bobby Bones
Now, there are people, they say Robin Hood is loosely based off the idea of. But no, Robin Hood is fictional. Okay. No definitive proof he was a real person. Amy got paid. Would you guys like to hear about her money story?
Lunchbox
Let's go.
Eddie
Love it.
Lunchbox
Rihanna.
Bobby Bones
She keeps getting checks from Holiday Harmony. Yeah, her.
Amy
Which is so weird to me because it's April. The movie came out over two years ago, and I still get checks. Some of them are.
Bobby Bones
Do you expect them only on Christmas Day or what?
Amy
No, but you would just think it's only round holiday time.
Bobby Bones
Well, think of the watching at holiday time and them having to look at the data and pay it.
Amy
So maybe this payment is from the holidays, because I get paid other times of the year, too. They're just lower.
Bobby Bones
Not as much.
Amy
Right. So, I mean, I've gotten $2 checks, $75 checks. This one was 204.
Lunchbox
Nice.
Amy
And I was like, okay, that's cool.
Lunchbox
People are still watching it.
Amy
Holiday Harmony.
Bobby Bones
It's still up on Max, right?
Amy
Must be.
Lunchbox
No, it is, because I remember I saw it, like, promoted, you know, I want to kind of like, Christmas time. It was up there. Like Holiday Harmony.
Bobby Bones
You can watch it on Max. You can watch it on YouTube Premium. There's a few different places that you can watch it.
Amy
Yeah. So I guess. Yeah, that's great. Keep watching Holiday Harmony. Stream it.
Bobby Bones
I think it's funny you think the check should come on Christmas Day, though. Like, since it's a Christmas movie, you should get your check.
Amy
Well, I guess I thought it may be more like January, February, but yeah, good point. Takes a minute. So April, this is probably my big check for the year. And then later they'll be smaller and then maybe next April big again.
Lunchbox
That's cool, though.
Bobby Bones
Morgan, are you sick still? Are you better?
Morgan
I mean, I'm still dealing with congestion pretty bad.
Bobby Bones
But besides that, the high pitched sound that you're in your life, is it in your head or your house?
Morgan
It's at my house.
Bobby Bones
The really high pitched sound.
Morgan
At least I assume it's in my house, not in my head.
Bobby Bones
I just wonder. You have so many things going on with that. What do you call your thing? Albuquerque. What is it called?
Morgan
Vertigo.
Bobby Bones
Vertigo, Close. Like, is that still happening with you?
Morgan
No, but, like, I have to be careful because anytime I get sick, which is why I'm like, so preventative about trying not to get sick, because it can bring vertigo on. If you get a head cold, you get an illness, anything can kind of sweep through and knock them loose.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that sucks. Is always feeling like you're one step away from and the vertigo does what to you? Knocks your balance out.
Morgan
Yeah. So basically my entire equilibrium is off. So I feel like I'm on a tilt a roll constantly.
Bobby Bones
Do you want to do the Facebook questions on biggest letdowns?
Morgan
Oh, yeah, let me bring them up.
Bobby Bones
I didn't read them, but Morgan said I can open up a can of worms. And I was like, okay, I don't want. They are so just give them to us. And.
Morgan
Well, I had posed the question because we were talking about, like the biggest Bobby bone show letdowns. And so I asked that on Facebook.
Bobby Bones
Oh, great. What a place to ask.
Lunchbox
You know, Ray had his own list.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Bobby was born.
Lunchbox
Oh, no, no.
Bobby Bones
That's the kind of crap Facebook said.
Morgan
Yeah, I did kind of open up a can of worms.
Bobby Bones
Okay. How many do you have?
Morgan
7. And these are like medium bad.
Bobby Bones
Okay. The biggest letdowns from Buy a bunch of listeners. Go ahead.
Morgan
Never getting to hear Ray's soon to be divorced couple rumor. I think about it every day.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so Ray did come to us, man, maybe three years ago and say, hey, I Know a couple, a celebrity couple that's getting divorced. And I'll let you know. He wrote in an envelope. Never got to open the envelope. I don't know why you never got to say it. Well, it could have been bad intel. It was honestly a girl I used to be friends with. I haven't talked to her in a while, so. But you never got to reveal it. Did you ever tell me who it was? Probably not. It's bad. It's actually just a bad look because a couple never did get divorced. Got it. I just wish I never got that bit of information from the person. So that's why we never shared it, because it could have been wrong. Yeah, got it. And Ray's thing was he heard this. He's putting an envelope. So when it does happen, he can prove he knew before, but he wasn't dead set on it being for sure. Right. But he had a pretty good idea to be right. And in the same period, it was like there were the Kelsey Ballerini's of the world, Pierce of the world, Amy's of the world that all getting divorced. So people kept saying Amy's the Amy's the Pierce, Carly Pierce. Yeah. Okay, got it. Okay. So that would be that Ray wasn't right. So that's why we never shared that one. Okay, go. Go ahead.
Morgan
Lunchboxes. Continued employment.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they're disappointed that he still works. Yes, got it. Okay. Okay. That's just them being funny. What's next?
Morgan
I used to listen to the whole show. Now I just listen for a bit too much. Repeated segments and no undiscovered musical talent. In songs, the after show is better, which I'm assuming they're referring to this one that we're on right now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we. I don't do as many guests that play music as we used to for a couple of reasons. One, we can't put them anywhere. We can't put them on the podcast we do. We'll do some, like, big ones. But yeah, I don't just grab artists off the street anymore because we really can't use it anymore. So that's mostly been me changing the show a little bit. But yeah, no, I think part two is better than part one as well. So I can cosign on that because it's a little more free. Part 1. We are in extreme time constraints to do things 3 minutes, 4 and a half minutes, 2 minutes, 6 and a half minutes, do this. So that is the show, but it is a completely different animal. And so in a way I understand and I think this is the better part, too. Okay, what else?
Morgan
It seems the show has become an advertisement for all the other stuff everyone outside of the show is doing, like, Bobby's other ventures.
Bobby Bones
I don't have any other ventures on the podcast because I've not had time. I've had to turn down a couple TV shows because I had too many stupid podcasts going on once. But I don't think podcasts are other ventures because it's all the same bucket. Like, our company is like, do other podcasts. So I think there's probably just a lack of understanding what other ventures are because I haven't done anything else other than podcasts. I have an NFL podcast. We have a sports podcast. We have this show. I did Yellowstone. That was stupid. The podcast, I liked Yellowstone, but the company that was working was terrible.
Morgan
The Bobby cast.
Bobby Bones
Bobby cast. Right. But that's all like, those are all siblings into the. Or the kids, and this is the parent. So those aren't other projects. So I would push back on that to go. I'm not doing anything else where it's like, watch me on American Idol on Thursday nights.
Amy
But I watch Holiday Harmony. Thanks.
Bobby Bones
Yes, Amy, Check. So I would just say.
Amy
I'm just kidding. Like, we had just talked about that.
Bobby Bones
We all have side podcasts, but they all are basically the same. They're all with a company. Okay, what else?
Morgan
Ray never getting the payout for his president bet.
Bobby Bones
I'm not sure he ever bet it.
Lunchbox
That was a big one.
Bobby Bones
Yep. I'm let down, too. I agree with that one. I'll like your thumbs up on that one. Yep. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Ray was owed $50,000 from an offshore betting site that were notorious for not paying out their bets though, too, which sucks. And that was before we had legalized sports gambling in whatever, how many ever many states there are now. But I don't think you could even bet that on the legal sites. I don't think they really do presidential betting. They don't. That's like a different website. Yeah, you can't do that on DraftKings. Yeah, it's offshore. But Ray hit and they were supposed to pay him $50,000. He showed me the betting slip. Now, you can Photoshop that stuff, but I don't think it was Photoshop, but I don't know. Lunchbox. Do you think he really bet in your heart of hearts?
Eddie
Yeah, I've seen Ray's bet slips. I mean, he used to bet, but.
Bobby Bones
You think he bet the president and that one specifically?
Eddie
Yes. I'm telling you, Ray used to bet stupid amounts of money on stupid things, and so why would he. You know, it's not out of the ordinary. If it was just like the one time he bet $10,000 on something, I'd be like, okay, that's a little suspicious. But, I mean, he would sit there and watch a random basketball game to be in the third quarter, and he'd bet $2,000 on the live. And it's like, what are you doing now?
Bobby Bones
The trumpet was a thousand bucks, Correct. To be fair.
Eddie
Whatever. Thousand, ten thousand, whatever.
Bobby Bones
I think it was real, too. But the fact that he never got paid is crazy to me.
Amy
But the whole weird offshore thing, like, it doesn't.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but they. No, I hear you. I hear you. But it. I can't believe they didn't pay him. That's all. Okay, one more. How many more, Morgan?
Morgan
I have two more.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Morgan
The show leaving Austin.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
What? What's the question?
Lunchbox
What's a let down?
Morgan
They feel let down by the show leaving Austin.
Amy
Oh, we loved Austin.
Bobby Bones
I was let down when TV turned color. I really like black and white. Yeah. Okay, what else?
Morgan
And the last one, the Hank Williams Jr. Interview.
Bobby Bones
And what was I let down about that?
Morgan
I think just because it didn't go as planned.
Bobby Bones
Well, that was awesome.
Morgan
You left and.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I really want my finer moments. It was really awkward and awesome. Yeah. And. Yeah. What do you mean to do? He's upset. I was irritated. Everybody was irritated. So we're like, let's just go and cut this short.
Lunchbox
He goes, am I done now?
Bobby Bones
I was like, I guess go ahead and go. But he wasn't upset at me. He was upset he couldn't smoke in the building.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Bobby Bones
And I didn't know that's why he was upset. I just knew he was all cranky and upset, and he continued to be cranky and upset. I was like, hey, man, you have to be here. You can go. Like, in the best way. And he's like, all right.
Lunchbox
Because he had a $10 cigar burning outside.
Bobby Bones
Whatever it was. I didn't know that's why he was upset, but yeah. All right. Well, that. That wasn't so bad.
Morgan
Yeah, those were the medium bad ones.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't go to the deep bad ones.
Morgan
I didn't want to guess.
Bobby Bones
Somebody will end up crying, and that somebody's probably me. Let's see. Is there anything else I want to do here? Lunchbox broke his thumb.
Lunchbox
What?
Eddie
I mean, I thought it was broken, man. And it ends up. It may be just a bad jam. I was Playing a game with my kids, and it's called taco goat cheese cat pizza or something like that before. Yeah, it's a fun game, man. When you're going in for those cards, you don't realize how serious people are getting in my thumb. I mean, I snapped it back, and it was hurting.
Lunchbox
What do you mean? You were playing with your kids?
Eddie
Yeah, but. And there's other adults playing.
Lunchbox
Oh, there were other adults. Okay.
Eddie
Yeah. And someone jammed my thumb, and I thought I broke it because it turned purple, and it hurts so bad, but it's starting to feel better, and I can move it. So I don't think it's broken after all, but a serious injury from a stupid little card game. That game is so fun.
Bobby Bones
Eddie wants to fire his yard guy.
Lunchbox
No, I fired him.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you did?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I fired him. I fired him. And I don't know if it was the right reason to fire him, but, I mean, he's. He's been my yard guy for, like, two years.
Bobby Bones
I'm surprised you don't mow your own yard.
Eddie
Your kid.
Lunchbox
I did. I did. And then finally, I was like, you know what? Like, this is just tiring for me, so I'm going to invest. Oh. I was doing better help. And my guy. My. My therapist on BetterHelp was like, invest in yourself. Like, you make money. Like, find stuff that will make you happy. Like, what don't you want to do? I'm like, I don't want to do yard work anymore. He's like, boom. Invest in yourself and get a yard guy. And I did, and I was happy that I wasn't doing the yard. So I hired this guy, but I never saw the guy. I would talk to him, and he would bring a crew, and the crew would show up, and I had to pay this dude and text with him, but never saw him. And he would always text me, like, pay me now. We come. You lie. Because I was like, you have not cut. Because I was like, dude, you haven't cut my grass this week. He's like, you lie. I come.
Bobby Bones
And I'm like, first of all, his English is probably not great.
Amy
Okay, let me ask. What language does he speak?
Lunchbox
Don't know.
Amy
You don't know?
Lunchbox
It was in English. It was in English. I'm telling you.
Bobby Bones
What's his primary?
Amy
Because, like, you speak Spanish, so.
Lunchbox
But I never met the guy. It was all through text, and he text English, but it was.
Bobby Bones
Hired him through text?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was. It was a car they left on my. My door.
Bobby Bones
So you never. So You. You. You texted the card?
Lunchbox
No, I texted the car. I said, hey, I want to hire you. Will you come? Come my grass? Yes. No problem. And they show up.
Bobby Bones
Never met him the first time.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
So how do you know he's not one of the guys out there?
Lunchbox
Because I went to him like, so who's the guy I'm texting? They're just like, oh, no, it's our boss. He's. He. He doesn't cut grass. He's in a building. I'm like, okay, cool, whatever. As long as this works, it's great. But then recently, he's just been like, you don't pay me. Pay me now. And I'm like, that's just rude.
Bobby Bones
But they. And they didn't cut it. And they said.
Lunchbox
And they didn't cut it. He's like, check camera. You lie. And I'm like, check camera. Me no lie.
Bobby Bones
Do you go back at him the same way with. Yeah, broken. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Well, recently, I wasn't due for two years. We had a great, great relationship, but lately he's just been short with me. And once he called me a liar, I was like, uh, I'm firing you. And just the communication is just too, like, straightforward.
Bobby Bones
Amy's already worried that you dead.
Amy
I am. They know where you live.
Bobby Bones
She thinks they're coming after you for that one.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Well, part of it, too, is like, I have four kids. They should probably start cutting the yard.
Amy
Oh, yeah, that's it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Cause it's not like 10 acres, right? Yeah. And your kids are now old enough.
Lunchbox
They can do it now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You lie. You lie.
Amy
You lie.
Lunchbox
Get out of here.
Eddie
Maybe you did lie. Maybe you didn't see him cut it.
Lunchbox
I check camera. He lie.
Bobby Bones
Let me do a couple voicemails. Right? Give me number one. Megan from Minnesota. So what would you do in this instance? My in laws live two and a half hours away. We always meet at the cabin for.
Amy
Birthdays, so we did that this last weekend.
Bobby Bones
We all got together to celebrate a birthday.
Amy
Well, an actual birthday is yesterday, and I forgot to send a text message.
Bobby Bones
Thinking that we celebrated the birthday on the weekend. Well, then say that person gets butt hurt because you forgot to text them on their birthday, even though in your mind you celebrated it that past weekend. What are your thoughts on that? Should you still text that person on their birthday, or are you covered in good because you celebrated it the weekend before? That's interesting. It feels a little dramatic, but it's interesting. I never thought about that. If you do have a birthday Party for somebody and it's not on their birthday, should you still text them on their birthday? I would say yes, you should still text them. However, it's not something that you should get upset about. If it's your birthday and they've already celebrated you. Like, if I remembered, I'd text them, I would go, yeah, it's her birthday. Hey, happy birthday. I know we did this last week. Happy birthday. It takes five seconds. But if you forgot and if it were my birthday and that happened, like, get a life. That's what I would say. Like, they already celebrated you. So what? They forgot to text you also, what's the text message matter, right?
Amy
They did celebrate you.
Bobby Bones
I hate getting texts on my birthday.
Lunchbox
Do you get your feelings hurt if somebody didn't text you?
Bobby Bones
No, I don't even. I don't know who's texting me on my birthday. Matter of fact, I'm copy and pasting. Haha, thanks. Thanks man. Haha, thanks. Thanks man. Thanks man. Yeah, that's somebody I'm reconsidering my friendship with if that's that dramatic to them. There's other things that are dramatic too in their life. Like this.
Amy
Yeah, it's kind of an energy suck.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, what do they call those? Energy Vampire.
Bobby Bones
Let's go number two, Ray. Hey, Bobby Bones. Yeah. I've always been curious about your comedy career. I've been listening to you guys for over 10 years now. And one of the biggest questions that I have is like, knowing how you were very unlike as a kid, what made you get into comedy and like what made you push yourself to keep getting on stage over and over. And when was it till you figured.
Lunchbox
Out how to be funny?
Bobby Bones
Like, I'm really curious about that aspect of your career. Love the show. I think I being funny was a defense mechanism mechanism as a kid. So I think that's where that comes from. It was like either fight back with fists and I was very small and very wimpy, or it was be funny or it was like burn their house down. You know, there are only three ways to go. There's physically beat them up, there's mentally, or there's like secretly murder them in some way, which you don't want to do. That happens with kids. I mean, that's like the school shooting bullies, right? Like that's their way to get back. And so I was never that one. I really wish I could have fought. I was just too small. I didn't even grow until 11th, maybe even almost 12th grade. Like grew none from an Infant. From an infant to 12th grade, I was same thing. Yeah, I was like 8 pounds, 7 ounces.
Eddie
That sucks.
Bobby Bones
And then, you know, comedy career. I don't know if you define it as that. I did tour for a few years doing a bunch of stand up. I just had always thought that would be fun to try and I was really not good at it. And it was really fun to be not good at something but still enjoy it. And that's how you know, like, it's your thing. If like you kind of suck at it and you still love it and there's room for improvement and you want to improve, like that's the kind of stuff that motivates me. And I was like, yeah, let me just do this until I feel like I have a decent hold. And I was never good, but I got to be pretty good just because I did it enough. I got enough reps in. But yeah, that was it. And then I got a special on CMT and they ran it and then I'm kind of like, I'm good. I don't know if I ever need to do it again. Like I kind of hit that point where I was like, yeah, I did a special. Somebody bought it, the end. Because I'm not a comedian, like a great comedian. I'll never be that because I didn't put the effort in the hours. But I spent a few years like really grinding and writing and writing and writing and like I'll host things like I'm writing jokes for something I'm hosting in a couple weeks. I guess I'm not supposed to say yet, but I'll do that. But I think all that's stand up experience and I think that's part of why I did it too. But yeah, that's it. But I had to kind of at least get funny or luckily I was witty, I was smart as a kid. And then you get beat up. You got, you got three options. Like I said. You can fight back, I guess you can run, sure. But you can only run for so long. They'll catch you because you get caught constantly every time. Yeah. Because I think I probably did run some, if I'm being honest. Yeah, probably did. Just.
Lunchbox
Then you just slide because you give up.
Bobby Bones
I just, yeah. Give me Brandon from Tallahassee. Ray. Hey, Bobby. Son told me a good morning corner the other day and I wanted to share with Amy. What do you call a rabbit that has fleas? Bugs Bunny.
Amy
Bugs Bunny.
Bobby Bones
What do you call a rabbit that has flea.
Amy
Yeah, Bugs Bunny.
Bobby Bones
It got me on the flip Bugs bunny. A rabbit bunny. Last part of that word. Bugs first. So never mind.
Lunchbox
You're dissecting it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No, it was just the opposite way, which took me a second. Bugs bunny. A rabbit with fleas. Oh, rabbit and bunny. Second word.
Lunchbox
Got it.
Bobby Bones
So I went, first word. First word, Second word, second word. It didn't. Yeah, I'm stupid.
Eddie
It didn't line up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm stupid. I was sexually harassed again today by Morgan, just for the record.
Lunchbox
Oh, we saw it. We were here.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. Second time.
Morgan
I'm sorry for complimenting your new haircut.
Bobby Bones
I felt objectified, and I'll be going to hr. And also, I don't like people talking about my haircuts because I don't like getting a haircut. And.
Amy
But it's such a tricky situation because if we don't say anything, you don't.
Bobby Bones
Want a haircut to be acknowledged.
Morgan
That is not true. You've said before that you don't like when it's not acknowledged.
Bobby Bones
I think that's a mental gymnastics there. I don't like haircuts for, like, nine days.
Amy
See, I knew that about you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
So I was gonna keep.
Lunchbox
Wait.
Amy
I was keeping a tally on it.
Bobby Bones
Well, you need to get nine days. So you wrote it down.
Lunchbox
No, but for the compliment. Do we have to wait nine days?
Bobby Bones
There's no compliment needed on hair.
Amy
Hey, that would be. I honestly was thinking, like, this would so great if I did tally the nine days, and then day nine, your hair looks good. I'd be like, dude, yeah, I got.
Bobby Bones
A cut nine days ago. Yeah. It's always like. It's like a new shirt. Right. I don't want somebody to say, oh, is that a new shirt? I like that. I like acknowledging I got a new shirt on. I like acknowledging I got a haircut because I feel like people sometimes just say stuff because it's new, not because they like it. Like, Emmy walks in with a beehive haircut. You have to acknowledge it, even if you think it looks stupid.
Lunchbox
Cause it's different.
Bobby Bones
And you don't go, hey, that looks stupid. You're like, wow, your hair looks good.
Amy
Something.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So the acknowledgement half the time is only acknowledging because it's different, but they hate it.
Amy
Are y'all, like, when you buy something, you hold onto it for a long time or you have to wear it right away?
Bobby Bones
I will buy nice things and never wear it ever. Yeah. Because I'm like, I don't want to wear this. It's too nice, and I need to wait for the right nice thing to come about. And the right. The right nice thing never comes and just sits in my closet forever. But I was like, well, say it's.
Amy
Not even nice, just new. Like, you've got something. You got, like, a new shirt. Say, it's not even that expensive, but you got it. It's a new shirt. I wear it right away. I can't wait. I know. I'm not that. Like, I have friends that have clothes in their closet with, like, tags on it and stuff. And I'm like, I don't understand what's happening here. I don't know. I don't understand this. How. How do you wait? They're like, I'm just waiting for the right time. And I'm like, the right time is the day after you buy it.
Bobby Bones
All right, time it. And sometimes I. I have stuff that I really liked, I've never worn because I'm like, there's never been a right time.
Amy
Oh.
Bobby Bones
And then my wife's like, you never wore it once? And I'm like, I know. I just kept waiting for the right time. She's like, you should wear it, like, 10 times. Don't worry about wearing it once anyway. Wear it 10 times.
Amy
Yeah. I got these jeans the other day. I've worn them every day this week.
Lunchbox
Oh, don't comment on.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't comment on.
Lunchbox
I don't.
Bobby Bones
Ladies jeans.
Lunchbox
Nope.
Bobby Bones
And how they fit, I have no idea. I bet they're cool, though. But when you walk in, I look your chin up, everybody.
Lunchbox
Right.
Eddie
I close my eyes.
Amy
Okay. I'm just saying I get excited, and I want to wear stuff right away.
Lunchbox
When someone says, like, oh, nice. Is that a new shirt?
Bobby Bones
I hate it.
Lunchbox
I always think, like, so you know, everything I wear, like, that means I don't wear that much.
Bobby Bones
Like, oh, you find a way to be insulted as well.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Good for you.
Lunchbox
Like, now they know that I wear this, the same clothes all the time. So when I have a new one, it's like, that obvious.
Bobby Bones
Good for your little T trauma.
Lunchbox
I don't know where it comes from, though.
Bobby Bones
That's funny. That's where your mind goes.
Lunchbox
Weird.
Bobby Bones
It was like, Amy, I got so insulted because. Hear me out. I'll finish on this story. We were talking on our show 25 whistles about the first autograph we ever got from, like, a pro athlete. And all the guys would be like, this person, that person, people we'd heard of. And I said, I remember mine. I went to an Arkansas Travelers baseball game. It was a minor League team, double A team. Once a year, Arkansas Keith took me to a Travelers game, and it was like the highlight of the year. And it was hard to get players to sign autographs during the game because they're playing the game. But there was one player named John Lepley who signed. I remember him. Signed my ball. Never heard from him since. I don't think he never made to the pros or anything, but I just remember I said it was John Lepley. I haven't thought about that name in a while. And so we were like, let's find John Lepley. And so we get on LinkedIn, we find John Lapley. He's, like, running, like, a food distributorship where maybe this is him. We find his number, we call him, we get some voicemail, and I'm like, hey, this is weird. Call me back. Never got a call back. Months go by. That's probably four months ago. Kickoff, Kevin comes in and goes, hey, we got John Lepley. He said somebody heard the podcast and went and is now working for him and told him about it. And I felt so insulted.
Amy
Why?
Bobby Bones
Because it took four months and that we're not big enough. That got to him in a week. It is a weird way, right? This is like trauma.
Amy
But it got better.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, for sure. I can logically put all that together and go, wow, I got to him finally. That's pretty cool. We had him on on Friday show, but I was so insulted that it took four months to get to him. But I was mad at myself. Nobody else. I was like, it looks like the product we've created isn't good enough to get to whomever in a timely fashion. And if we were at this level, John Lepley would have heard about it. Because it took four months, I found a way to be insulted. That's what Eddie just did with that.
Lunchbox
Shirt where I should just be like, thanks.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I should be like, oh, that's cool. We got John. Lovely. And it was great. But, yeah, I found, like, a little way to revisit that chip.
Amy
Negative.
Lunchbox
It was cool, though, to see John Levy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. He went to play double A, got to the AAA for a second. Never made it the pros, but was just telling the story.
Lunchbox
It was crazy.
Bobby Bones
And I was his favorite autograph ever.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
He had no idea.
Lunchbox
But still.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but still.
Lunchbox
You were offended.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's it. Thank you, guys. We will see you tomorrow. Hope you guys have a great rest of the day. Goodby, everybody.
Amy

(01:09)
Round One Matchups

"I think it's impossible to be 400%. Like you said, it can only be 100%, right?"
(01:26)

(01:58)

(10:22)
Final Matchups and Predictions
The co-hosts and guests weigh in with their predictions, considering factors like cardio, strength, and grit. Amy concludes:

(18:15)
The tournament culminates with Bobby and Ray facing off, leading to playful exchanges and light-hearted threats of grappling.

Amy shares her unexpected experience of receiving continuous payments from Holiday Harmony, reflecting on the longevity and impact of the show.
"I keep getting checks from Holiday Harmony... some of them are $2, $75, $204."
(34:16)
She theorizes that the payments might stem from residuals related to its airing:
"Maybe this payment is from the holidays, because I get paid other times of the year, too."
(34:33)
The discussion highlights the often-overlooked financial aspects of entertainment projects and the enduring nature of successful shows.
Morgan introduces feedback from Facebook listeners about their biggest letdowns with the show. The responses range from content-related disappointments to personal stories.

"We don't do as many guests that play music as we used to... it's a completely different animal."
(39:20)

"Should you still text that person on their birthday, or are you covered because you celebrated it the weekend before?"
(46:53)
Amy provides her take, advocating for sending a quick birthday text regardless of prior celebrations:
"If you do have a birthday Party for somebody and it's not on their birthday, should you still text them on their birthday? I would say yes."
(47:04)
Bobby humorously reflects on his own approach to birthdays, hinting at a more laid-back perspective.
"I hate getting texts on my birthday."
(48:02)
The segment underscores the complexities of social expectations and personal preferences in maintaining relationships.
